Chapter 1603 Arcadia
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
After the battle the group were at the tribe and the members kept away from them.
Tomio was looking at the moon with his arms crossed and stood there.
He moves his eye to the side and leans forward dodging a kick.
He saw Vernal as the woman looks at him.
"What do you want?" He said.
"I heard your friend beat our leader. So train me since your skilled." She said.
"You want to follow me?" He said.
"That's right." She smirks.
"Than do you have a wish what you want?" He asked.
"What?" She said.
"As I said before, I will not let others follow what I want. Instead i'll help each achieve they're own dreams." He said.
She stares at him. "Then I want to be the strongest. To become the best fighter!"
"Very well. I will take you Vernal." He said.
She smiles. "What made you into the man that you are now?"
"My father." He said.
She got curious to who his father was.
Tomio looks up as he still remembers him.
Flashback
When he was eight years old Tomio wore a black shirt with a skull on it with blue shorts as he watches through a window.
It showed space it self since he was inside the spaceship Arcadia. The ship that his father own.
Someone came to his side and he looks up to see his father, Captain Harlock.
"It seems your enjoying to see the outside." Harlock said.
"Yes." Tomio nodded. "I love watching the outside since it's so amazing."
Captain Harlock smiles at his son, a bright boy that wants to explore the space to see what was there.
He was the one that made a crew to help achieve they're dreams while they fight against the government to help the future of Earth and face against many alien races that dare harm them.
This ship is for those that are shuned by the world to be themselves and if they have a personal dream they may come aboard.
"Hey Tomio." He saw Mayu Oyama come.
She is his godsister since his father took her in.
"Let's play." She said.
He nodded and followed her as Harlock watches them leave. Since this is what he's trying to protect.
After so long the entire crew was outside on Earth with Tomio among them. The aliens and the system was defeated.
Captain Harlock looks at them. "Now that Earth is safe, you can be yourselves."
He goes inside of the ship as many were sadden.
Tomio got surprised and Miime the alien follows Harlock before looking at Tomio.
"He chose this to keep you safe Tomio, he wants you to follow your own path and be safe. As he's seen as a criminal." Miime goes inside of the Arcadia.
"Father!" Tomio yelled.
He was at the door and saluted with a smile before it goes off.
Mayu, Tomio and the kids followed at it goes off.
"Captain Harlock!" The kids waved.
Tomio looks at his father, he waves his arms at him.
Harlock looks at his son and tosses him his Gravity Saber. Tomio got surprised and catches it.
"Keep it safe Tomio, as it's my last gift." Harlock said.
Tomio then saw the Arcadia leave and he cries a bit.
Kei goes up to him and the woman puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Your father only wanted what was right." She said.
"Yes, but i'm not mad." Tomio had a smile with tears still coming down. "How can I, i'm the son of the greatest pirate in existance."
She smiles and hugs him since they were like a big family.
Flashback ends
Tomio still remembers that day, and it just made him stronger.
"If you wish to grow strong never give up on that dream." He said.
Vernal smiles at his words.
"So fighting to die should not be something to a person as life is precious and shouldn't be taken lightly." Tomio added.
Vernal was still stunned that the tribe would always attack other villages and raid yet here comes someone that says life shouldn't be wasted.
Some would mock that but for some reason it just made him stronger.
Raven watches them and everyone from a rooftop as she holds her own arm.
She has been defeated and wasn't killed because Victor saw her as pathetic.
Qrow appeared next to her. "Well would you look at that."
"How can I lose that badly?" She said.
"You would look down on Summer but Daisy raised Victor and see how well he turned out." Qrow looks at Victor who's talking to Velvet.
"If I had found him, maybe he would have been a great member of our tribe." Raven said.
"Your still thinking about that, Tai was the one that found him and took the boy in after he lost his mother, he was with Ruby and Yang all the time. And because of that he went down a path that made him better than what you could have been." Qrow said.
Raven frowns as Victor was far superior to anyone in her tribe as they stood no chance. Team Light was the superior group.
Qrow was happy that Tai and him found when they did.
Flashback
When his mother died Victor wandered the streets alone as a child, he was frowning all the time.
He then bumps into someone.
"Hey..." He saw it was Qrow.
Qrow was drinking before he spits it out. "Victor?! What are you doing here?!"
"Uncle Qrow." Victor got surprised.
He saw Victor was pretty badly dressed so something must have happened.
He took him to Taiyang's farm, said man was working before he saw them.
"Wait Qrow, why do you have Victor?" Tai asked.
"Ugh, Daisy's gone." Qrow sighs.
"What?!" Tai got shocked. "What about Erik?"
"I don't know." Victor said.
"I couldn't find the kid, he's gone too." Qrow said.
Taiyang frowns and goes to Victor. "Don't worry, you can stay here as much as you want."
Victor smiles. "Thanks."
"Victor!" He saw Ruby and Yang came out and they hugged him.
"Yang! Ruby!" He grunted a bit with a smile.
They were happy to see they're cousin again. He stayed at they're home for his childhood but he was happy to be at least with family.
Flashback ends
Qrow knew Victor might not have had the best life but he had good moments.
Victor hanged out with his friends and family since they are the people he cares about the most. As they stood by his side the most, even if Yang thought he betrayed them with the fake transcript lie, they still make up because it wasn't worth it ruining a bond he had with her.
With Meiko
She was walking down a streets and behind her were many defeated White Fang members.
"Man they are really bad people." She said.
She heard of them from the others and she didn't agree with they're ways.
Meiko dodges a whip and saw a White Fang called Ilia come out.
"Wait, aren't you Blake's friend?" Meiko said.
"Be quiet human!"Ilia said striking at Meiko again.
Meiko dodges and moves around. "Why are you attacking me if Adam is gone?"
"Humans are the enemy!" Ilia shouts.
She dodged her attacks before blasting the mask off. Ilia glares at Meiko at this.
Meiko stares at her face. "Your face..."
"What?'!" Ilia demand
"Your so cute!" Meiko blushes with her tongue out. "I want to keep you as my lover!"
This shocks and surprises Ilia.
Meiko then hugs her. "Oh please be my love, i'll treat you amazing."
"L-let go of me!" Ilia blushes
"Why? I'll treat you better than the White Fang, I don't hate Faunus in fact... I find them attractive." She said.
Ilia blushes even redder
"I know you want it, let's enjoy true love." Meiko goes up to her face.
Meiko then kisses her, Ilia got surprised as Meiko uses tongue.
Ilia was going to push Meiko away but decides not to and just enjoy the kiss
Meiko breaks it up. "Wanna be mine?"
Ilia was thinking about it. Meiko hugs her to give some incentive.
Meiko then starts to whisper in her ear. "Come on."
"W-why should I be with a human?" Ilia questions
"Why not? It doesn't matter if we're human or faunus, love conquers all." She said.
Meiko then kisses her again, Illia blushes more because of this.
"Come on Ilia, your just too cute." Meiko said.
"F-fine." Ilia said.
Meiko takes her bridal style while running. Ilia couldn't understand how a human managed to do this but she was just yoo clingy and attractive to say no.
Note: Tomio has Vernal at his side but she will be following what she wants, also Meiko got Ilia making the chameleon girl nervous.
