Chapter 1761 Stanley's secret
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Leonidas group arrived at the other side and left the car.
"Soldier field." Aka said.
"Wonder how this one will go." Victor said as some soldiers attacks them.
Alex looks and takes out his guns to shoot at them. Booker fires at some while taking cover.
Aka punches and kicks many back as Leonidas protects Elizabeth from any of them.
"Something is off about them." Shiro said.
"Yeah." Victor said.
Draco then freezes others as they kept going.
They move towards a gate that requires something called Shock Jockey.
"Must be another Vigor." Leonidas said.
"Well only one other way to go." Aka said.
"Yeah. At least this means another power." Leonidas said.
"Let's go." Draco said.
"Maybe the Hall of Heroes have it?" Elizabeth suggests.
"Yeah let's try it." Victor said.
They went towards the building.
They see a elevator and enter it but it doesn't work.
"Great, now what?" Victor frowns.
"I can fix it." Shiro said as he goes to work.
They waited as Shiro messes with it before it was on.
"Okay let's go." He said as they went inside.
Then it started to move as they waited.
"A bee." Elizabeth said.
"Just kill it." Booker said.
"No killing Bees. They're important in keeping the planet's ecosystem running." Leonidas said.
"Damn nerd." Victor said.
"Shut it. Without bees plants will die. They need pollination. I am already trying to figure out several ways to protect the bee population and keep their numbers up." Leonidas said sternly. "No bees means no more pizza or those strawberry sundaes you love."
"Hey! I drink them because of Yang." Victor said.
"Let me just." She then opens a rift making a window to let it out.
"Interesting. Your powers to open tears into other places is very impressive." Leonidas said. "Hmm that must be why they wanted you."
They saw the songbird on the other side.
"Close that thing fast!" Aka said.
"Guess I didn't do enough damage." Shiro frowns.
"Who cares about that now!" Victor said as Elizabeth shuts it.
"We need to get rid of that thing." Booker said.
"Or turn it into a ally. There must be a controller of some kind for it." Leonidas said. "If we can find it and get it we can turn it against them."
"I don't think that's a normal robot." Shiro said.
"True. Still it's a interesting thing. I would like to study it." Leonidas said. Alex was thinking about the songbird and was worried about what would happen if a piece of the All-Spark touches it.
"Now before you even do that, warn us." Booker told Elizabeth.
"Ok." Elizabeth said a bit down.
"You can say it nicer." Aka said. The elevator then stops and opens up.
Draco goes forward as they followed him.
They look around and sees some mechanical men with white wings that were different presidents of the US like George Washington. Then they find another crate.
"Bucking Bronco?" Alex looks at one. Leonidas and Booker takes a vigor each and drinks them getting new powers.
"Very good." Leonidas checks his arm.
Booker tries his new power out on a empty crate causing it to go into the air.
"Wow." Booker said. Leonidas then looks at Elizabeth.
"You should drink one too. Just in case." Leonidas said surprising them.
"Why?' Elizabeth asks.
"To defend yourself since something might happen." Leonidas said handing her Bucking Bronco. "But it is your choice."
"You do know that she's sheltered. She doesn't have the will to fight." Draco said.
"The will to fight is something everyone has. They just need to figure out what they want to fight for." Leonidas said. "Elizabeth you want to see Paris right? And to not be put back into the castle again?"
"Y-yes." Elizabeth said.
"Then you need to choose here and now to have the power to fight for your freedom and your dream or not have the power and if something happens lose your chance here." Leonidas said.
She thinks about it and takes a vigor. She looks at it and makes her choice drinking it, Elizabeth grunted and feels the change.
"Okay, let's keep going before someone comes." Aka said.
"Yeah." Elizabeth said.
"Wait a moment." Leonidas said before he gives her a bottle of Possession, Devil's Kiss, and Murder of Crows. "Drink them one at a time."
The others had to wait until she was finished.
"Are you done?" Victor asked Leonidas.
"Yes. Figured we should let her drink them real quick." Leonidas said.
"Let's keep going. Someone is watching." Alex said.
"Yeah I can feel it." Aka said.
"Wait a minute. Whoever is watching us are you a enemy of Cormstock? If so we may have the same goals so let's talk." Leonidas said loudly enough.
Nobody answered.
"Keep going. And we'll find a clue, nobody ever answers." Victor moves forward.
Leonidas sighs.
"I was hoping we could avoid a fight when the true enemy is Cromstock." Leonidas said. "Elizabeth doesn't have the same protection we do."
"Then watch her. We're seven in total to protect her." Victor said.
Leonidas nods as they move on.
With the others
They arrived at Dionysus Park going forward.
"Well I managed to find another train but it's locked hope you all can find a way to make it go." Sinclair said.
"Great. Any ideas?" Zack asks.
They then got a call. "Maybe I can offer assistance. The names Stanley and if you all can get rid of the little sister's for me after you drained the water i'll open it from security room."
"Rid of them?" Yui frowns.
"You know, do your thing and everything will be fine." He explained.
"Fine." Zack said. "You better keep your word."
They went to search for the little sisters before a splicer got sent to the ground.
They looked up and saw Mommy holding a little sister that wasn't cured yet.
"They're all my babies!" She said
"Hey Mommy. Well we need to cure her before you can take her home." Yui sighs.
She stretches down and presents her to Delta. "Here you go."
Delta groans in thanks as he takes the girl.
He then puts his hand on the girl curing her.
The moment he did he and Zack got a message.
"Father, Zack, the reason for Stanley to send you after the little sisters is because he's hidding something they carry in the memories." Eleanor told them.
This makes Zack frowns with Delta also frowning a bit.
Mommy looks at Delta before picking up the little girl.
"Well, hope to see you again. As your such a kind man."
He groans back.
"Hmm Maybe Leonidas can give you a way to talk again." Mommy said.
"But just actions are better." She laughs while going up.
"Is it me or is she flirting with him?" Hank asks.
"Maybe she likes Delta." Yui shrugs.
Mommy takes the little girl to a room and opens it reveal many little sisters.
"Here you go." She sets her down. "Mommy will come back girls."
"Ok Mommy." They said.
She smiles and goes out.
The group went through the place looking for more little sisters.
A Spider splicer jumps behind Kazuo, but he turns around shooting bees making him grunt.
Then Zack slashes the Splicer's head off. Another came but Kazuo throws a orb splashing him. Then they heard a big sister's screams.
Kazuo then rushes off to where they hear the screams.
The splicer looks back and sees her come down and changing at him stabbing the splicer many times.
"They'll never let me get hurt." Kazuo said.
The Big Sister pats his head. She then runs off as they went to find another little sister.
"Hmm I wonder if Leonidas can do something for them." Yui said. "Something to give them their freedom from those suits."
"I don't know, it seems too dangerous. Maybe we can have the helmet removable." Zack said. "For now let's just finish this and get to Eleanor."
They all nod.
"I wonder if there is a building or something they store a ton of ADAM." Hank said.
"We'll see that later." Zack said.
They ran around the place and saw another little sister as her big Daddy was fighting against another since they got mad a each other.
"What in the world?" Yui questions in surprise. "A big Daddy fighting another one."
"They must have made them mad with each other." Zack said.
"Well let's stop this before the Little sister gets hurt." Hank said as he goes to use his powers to shut them down.
But one shoots a explosion killing them both
"Daddy!" The Little Sister screams in horror before crying.
They went towards her and the little girl goes to Delta. "Daddy, you always protect me from the monsters."
"Who could have made them fight?" Yui questions as they take what they could from the Big Daddies.
"It could have been mid fight. All that matters is we have the little sister." Recorder said.
"Yeah but still. It gives me a bad feeling." Yui said.
Delta carries the little girl with him while they followed him.
She leads them to a body nearby and starts getting the ADAM as they fight off the Splicers.
"I really hate these guys." Zack said.
"Same. Still the fact these Plasmids are addicting is concerning." Hank said.
"Oh come on, Kazuo is not even a normal kid." Zack said.
"True but we can't not worry about him with these Plasmids." Yui said.
"Yui, he has that nebula gas inside of him. That eats up any negative effect." He frowns.
"Oh right. Speaking of which I don't think he used Night Rogue lately." Yui said.
"Seeing how he has OOO I don't blame him, it's a better form." Zack said.
Yui nods.
"Yeah it is. The various combos he can do makes thing easy." Yui said.
"But he still uses the gun." Zack sees Kazuo shooting others with the gun.
"Well it is still a gun." Hank said.
The little sister was finished and they took her to the next place.
"I wonder how many more little sisters we have to find." Zack said.
"Do you see how big this place is? Probably a lot." Yui said.
"Too bad we didn't bring Team B to help." Hank said. "Then again we have Recorder with his endless bodies."
"We need them out there in case something happens." Zack said.
"True. Speaking of which you think Dusk is robbing someone again?" Yui asks as they found the next body and the Little Sister get to work.
"I wouldn't be surprised, Draco had to ask Eric and Sota to watch over him." Zack said.
"Yeah. Though I did love that one song he was listening to on the radio. It was called Sanctuary and it was sang by Nami Tamaki. It had a good message." Yui said.
"Wait, Dusk listens to music?" Zack said.
"I don't know why you're surprised at that." Yui said. "Practically everyone does."
"Not all, he didn't seem the type to be listening to music as I learned a lot about thieves." Zack said.
"He isn't a bad thief though. He just steals from bad people. Remember what Sota said when he met Dusk?" Yui questions.
"Yeah I know. Still doesn't excuse him trying to steal my Master Sword." Zack said.
"Don't remind me. He almost took my mace." Yui said.
"He nearly took my Lightsaber." Hank said.
"Our shield too." Recorder said.
"And don't get me started on that perverted bird of his." Yui said annoyed. "It kept flirting with me until Ichigo showed up."
"Just punch it." Hank said.
"I did." Yui said. "Dusk did say sorry for Kir's behavior and gave me some really good chocolate to make up for it."
The little sister was finished and they went to the manhole for Delta to cure her.
"Father, Zack, I found more, when I told Stanley about what he did to Mother, he sold me to the orphanage, he's the reason why I became a little sister." Eleanor said.
This makes them angry and surprised.
"So that's why he wants them gone so they don't tell her." Zack said.
There has to be more so they went after more little sisters going down the entire place was still covered in water damages.
"So far these Splicers have been pretty easy to deal with." Zack said as he uses the Megaton Hammer and Hookshot to kill some.
One goes near a bee bomb corpse as it explode hitting that guy with bees.
Recorder takes some down with his Zanpakuto
Mommy came. "Found another." She shows a little sister that was hugging her.
Delta groans a hello to her.
The little sister looks at Mommy. "Don't worry, mommy is here."
"Mommy." She said before hugging her.
Delta then healed her too as the little sister was back to normal.
"Father, Stanley was worried that Mother would find out through the little sisters so he flooded the entire area." She told them truth.
"So he did this because he was scared. How many people died because of him?" Zack questions
"Well good job you guys, come back and i'll open the train for you." Stanley said without him knowing what happened.
Zack makes a signal not to mention what they just know.
They nod as they head to the train while also grabbing anything useful.
Kazuo was at the ADAM machine as buys more plasmids.
But then a Big Sister appears and gives him more ADAM.
"Oh thank you." He smiles.
She pats his head before leaving.
"Those big sisters are too nice to him." Zack said.
"But the fact they are means they're helping us instead of being enemies." Yui said.
"Kazuo must be seen as they're child. Like how a big Daddy watches over a little sister. Since he's the only little boy we have seen it's why." Hank said.
"That makes sense." Yui said.
Another big sister came and she's holding Tony in her arms as he bites on his nails.
"They seem to be fond of Tony too." Hank said in surprise.
L"Did you seriously call your friends too?" Yui said and Kazuo nodded.
"Recorder you might want to have your extra bodies look for them." Zack said. "Just in case."
They saw Mica on top of her Big Daddy as she cheers.
"She seems to be having fun." Hank said.
"How did she get that big Daddy?" Yui said.
"Well there is a lot of them. Heck that might have been one we shut down a while ago." Zack said.
"I think that's the one when we the train got hit by the priest's rocket." Hank said.
"I think you're right." Yui said.
"Okay i got everything I need." Kazuo smiles.
They nod at this.
"Then let's get going." Zack said. "You and Delta can take the Plasmids on the train."
They group went forward but then they heard Lamb. "Despite what we've been through, we have a common enemy Delta, it was Stanley that sold you to Ryan and made you what you are now."
Delta stops.
"The more I found out the more I want to arrest him." Zack narrows his eyes.
The door of the security room opened. "Here, you can have your revenge."
"Oh no! I didn't know Lamb knew." Stanley said. "Please! I didn't know! Just go, the train is opened!"
Delta glares at him but decides to leave his fate to Zack.
"It's not worth it. He's just a simple man that can't do anything." Zack goes to the train.
The rest follow Zack as Stanley was surprised they spared him.
Delta pulls the lever and they went forward.
"You are bigger men than me." Sinclair said.
"Sometimes, revenge doesn't give you what you want." Hank said.
Note: Elizabeth got some of the vigors they got to help her as the others met Stanley but spared him since they're not monsters that go for revenge.
