Chapter 705 A Stranger I Remain
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Victor was at his room with Aka and Aka said:"So you saw something weird back home."
"Yes."Victor said.
Flashback
Victor was walking around the city back home before he saw a group of demons appear.
"Well gotta take them down."Victor said.
But then he saw someone come foward.
"Hey suckers."
The demons looked and saw the Wu-Tang Clan.
"Wait, the Wu-Tang Clan? What are they doing here?"Victor said.
"Come on, show us what you can do."Ol' Dirty Bastard said.
One charges at him with a sword, Victor gets ready but then Ol'Dirty Bastard grabs the sword and kicks him away surprising Victor.
Method Man charges foward punching a guy away, RZA spin kicks one to a entire group.
GZA punches many before the entire group shoot them killing all the demons.
Victor's jaw dropped."Did I just see the Wu-Tang Clan kick some demon ass?"
The clan goes foward on they're own way and Victor stares at them.
Flashback ends
Aka was speechless."The Wu-Tang Clan can fight?"
"I know right, it's crazy."Victor said.
Like he heard rumors they were dangerous but to be able to do kung fu moves and other types of fighting styles like they were pros was something he didn't expect.
"Well that would explain why some demons got defeated with ease, but that still makes no sense how we never seen them to be able to fight."Aka said.
Victor saw Shiro go out and asked:"Is he?"
"Yes, he's thinking about her again."Aka frowns.
They know that Shiro still misses his Sakura, she was the first love he ever had.
"You know some of the people would ask what is our wish... But Shiro's is something that might be impossible to get."Victor said.
He understands how Shiro feels, he lost his own love a long time ago too.
Shiro was walking in the forest and he reaches a river, he looks up and sees the moon since it was night time.
He then remembers some back in school saying what is your wish.
"My wish... Is something I could never get... I just just want her back."Shiro said.
Shiro felt a song that tell about his feelings
Someone was swimming in the river and it was a mermaid girl, this is Meeshell Mermaid.
She was new in Ever After High and was there to relax a bit
(Insert Himitsu - sumika here.)
She then heard music and singing.
Ryoume kosutte mabuta hiraite
Nokoru yoru no zanzou
Makura ni shizumu kioku no kakera
Natsu no yoru no yume o mita
She goes up and sees Shiro and was surprised, she heard about him being the most popular boys from school.
Obore-gena gokan nukeochita mama
Sono te o tsukande
Taion ga utsuru made
Naishoda yo yume de mita koto
Omoidashite sa ureshiku naru nante
Naishoda yo yume de mita koto
Kanau nante sa atatakai ude no naka
The song was both nice and very sad to her, it can tell how someone feels.
Kami o tokashite kao o aratte
Nagasu yoru no zanzou
Toki o tomete iru shuuzu no himo o
Musubi mata natsu no asa
Sugata mo katachi mo kawatte inai noni
Kinou to kyou to ga
Amari nimo nite inakute
Naishoda yo yume de mita koto
Omoidashite sa ureshiku naru nante
Naishoda yo yume de mita koto
Kanau nante sa utsurou netsu no naka
Samenaiyume no naka de
Hontouda yo yume ni mita koto
Kanattatte sa imada ni yume ni iru
Naishoda yo yume de mita koto
Kanau nante sa atatakai ude no naka
Samenaiyume no naka de
Ryoume kosutte mabuta hiraite
Kyou mo onaji yume o mita
A tear came out of his eye as it hits the water.
"Hi."He got surprised to see Meeshell crying a bit.
"Oh excuse me!"He said.
"That was a nice song."She said.
"Oh... Thanks."He said.
"It's pretty sad too."Meeshell said.
"Yeah... It's about this girl I met a long time ago."
"Was she special?"She asked.
"Very."He said.
"I'm pretty sure she must been happy to have someone special like you."She smiles."I'm Meeshell."
He smiles at her."I'm Shiro."
He sits down and noticed she's a mermaid. Huh, like Ariel.
"So Shiro what did you come here do to by yourself?"She asked.
"I just came to think."He said.
"I see, I only came since I get to nervous on land."She said.
He chuckles."Well maybe you could use some help."
"Wait... Really?"She was surprised.
"Yeah."He nodded making her happy.
But then he picks her up and jumps away surprising her as a laser came down.
They saw Dwarf Gekkos.
"Those things again!"Shiro said.
"Shiro!"She looks at him.
Her legs appeared and he said:"Run away while I take care of them."
"Oh... Okay."She runs off as he takes out his new HF blade.
They attacked him but he slashes at them to pieces, he goes foward fighting many of them.
After he cut a entire group he arrives at a open area and heard a voice:"I was wondering when you would come."
He looks back and saw Mistral come out.
"So you finally came to face me."He said.
"I was wondering how the student of Jack the Ripper could do."She said.
"Raiden, well I heard you and your goons assaulted him making him get a new cyborg body."Shiro said.
"Goons? Is that what you think of us?"She asked.
"Well ganging up on me, and how you treated Raiden was a good example."He said.
"Let me tell you who I am, I am Mistral, the cold wind of France."She said.
"Yes, I heard of you."He said."I got connections of my own."
"You know I was born in Algeria like your teacher, i'm only half French."Mistral said.
"And?"Shiro said.
"We had our own civil war in the 90s."Mistral said.
"Let me guess, you must be thinking your cut from the same cloth as you and Raiden."Shiro said.
"And you too, I lost my whole family, everything..." She said making Shiro surprised and she raises a hand. "But I butchered those fuckers."
Shiro grunts hearing her words.
"My family's killers. That's when I realized... I am a killer too. And a good one at that. I've been missing a part and I found it, his ideals, what are yours?"She asked.
"I protect the weak."He said.
She frowns and grabs one of her robots by the limbs."Still..."She rips them off."So naive."
She then has many of her robots attach they're limbs to her back and she made a giant spear from the arms.
Shiro got ready and readies his sword.
"If you believe in your ideals, then you are ready to die for them!"She said.
"Let's go then."Shiro said.
"Then come."She motions him.
(Insert A Stranger I Remain here.)
She charges at him swinging her weapon around and he dodges it many times before he uses his light form to go behind her.
"Using your devil fruit?"She said.
"Why wouldn't I use all my abilities, it was the mistake you did last time."He said.
She chuckles and her arms glowed.
"Haki?"He said.
"Yes, we had to adapt."She said.
She charges at him with her arms pointing foward with knives and he had to block them using his shield.
"Air Stike Shield!"He makes a energy one to stop her before she jumps back.
She then jumps to a tree looking down at him and he frowns at her.
She then swings her weapon foward making Shiro dodge it even more.
"They learn Haki just to counter my logia, who taught you that, it must be Tomura?"He said.
"Not a bad guess, it seems Tomura Shigaraki would be your first guess."She said.
"Why wouldn't it, he's been a pain in my ass."He said.
"True."She admitted.
She charges at him and he then slashes her robots that came to attack him.
She then kicks one at him and he dodges it before it explodes.
He got pushed to the side but recovers, she swings her weapon but he dodges her and punches the air making it crack.
She got surprised before she got blown back by the shockwave.
She recovers and sees Shiro charging at her and noticed he was now using One For All to power himself up, he then strikes it and uses the explosion Quirk to strike at her many times and she grunts.
She slashes at him making Shiro block her attacks and she noticed something on his face, he was smiling but it was not a evil or malicious one.
"Carolina Smash!"He crosses his arms and slashes at her destroying her arms that were added to her leaving only with her normal ones.
She got sent to the ground and closes her eyes to accept her fate, he stares at her and she smiles but then he puts his sword away before walking to the other side shocking her.
"What?!"She gets up looking at him."Your not going to kill me?!"
"I told you, i'm not like you."He said.
"You actually believe in those ideals, why, why lie to yourself!"She said.
"I never lied." He said. "Unlike you, I never killed my parents killers." She got stunned. "Both Shishigami and Blackbeard were broken by me, but never killed, because that is power."
"Why, why are you so different from Jack?"She said.
"Because Raiden was only a teacher in my swordsmanship, my true mentor is Deku. "He said.
"Deku?" She got surprised to hear that name. "The Number 1 hero."
"Yes, he was the one that taught me and told me this." He puts on a big smile. "When you have to save someone, they're usually in a scary situation. A true hero saves not only their lives, but also their hearts... That's what I believe. So no matter how scary things get, give 'em a smile, as if to say, "I'm a-ok". The people in this world who can smile are always the strongest."
She was stunned at his words. He means them.
"Which is why makes me stronger than you, I found out that i'm the son of the World's Strongest man, and gained a new family, plus if I were to fall to your level I could never face her again." He then remembers Sakura.
"Her?" She said.
He shows a picture of Sakura.
"You... Did all this for this girl?" Mistral said.
"Yes, i'll smile on for her, I might be sad but i'll keep being happy just for her." He said. "As Deku was the symbol of peace, I am also going to become that, and that's something that either of your group can take that away."
He walks away leaving her there.
Mistral stares at him."Could his ideals really make him stronger?"
She looks at her hand, she thinks about the things that happened, he never killed his parents killers and yet chose to live the life of a Hero, he chose his own path.
Shiro went outside of the forest and saw Meeshell. "Are you okay?"
"Yes." He nodded.
He takes her away and he kept his ideals and he was happy that he did.
Note: Here's Shiro vs Mistral, yeah he didn't kill her to show how different they are, while Shiro did kill, it was more because he didn't have a choice, as the ideals of Deku are strong inside of him compared to what he learned from Raiden's past, also the Wu-Tang Clan fighting like that was based on a PS1 game from a long time ago so they can look like that.
