//------------------------------// // Peach 54 // Story: PEACH! (Season 2) // by ChromeRegios //------------------------------// “EeeiiiiaaahhH~!”Rukia screams as she was knocked off, Byakuya slashes the hollow who did in his sister and quickly rushed to her side. “Rukia, are you hurt?” He asked concernedly. “Don’t worry brother, I’m fine...” Rukia gets up and looks around to see more of them coming from the front. “Stay back sister...” Byakuya draws his Zanpaktou then starts chanting... “Scatter, Zenbonsakura...” at the same time, his sword dissolves and simultaneously attacks the oncoming assault of Hollows, leaving them to a shredded state as they turned to ashes. “Brother!” Rukia shouts, as he fails to see a hollow sneaking behind him... "Destructive Spell Number 33!Blue Fire Crash Down!" With that said the Hollow took the full brunt of it, as it fell dead on the ground. “Nicely done, Rukia...” Byakuya said as his own sword materializes on site... Before Rukia can even say a word, more hollows appear on their side... but much bigger and stronger ”This is going to be hard, keep your defences up, Rukia” Byakuya ordered. “Right!”Rukia prepares for the assault... “Rukia...” Byakuya suddenly spoke. “Yes?” Rukia simply replies... “It’s good to fight by your side once more... dear sister...” Byakuya spoke, with a couple cherry blossoms flowing across the wind... Rukia looked at him and smiled... knowing that Byakuya still sees her as his sister... with that emotion felt once more, the hollows and the two soul reapers clashed together creating a bright flash of light, seen even through the darkest of days... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Go! Hyorinmaru!!!” Toshiro freezes as much hollows as he can, then Yoruichi came and shattered the frozen monsters, leaving only chunks of ice on the ground... “How much of these hollows are there in this world?!” Yoruichi kicks off another frozen hollow. “I have no idea, but I bet Twilight is summoning them!” Dash yelled as she flies down breaking as much frozen hollows of her own. “No shit...” Toshiro rolled his eyes. “We got to find Twilight then!” Pinkie bounces to one hollow after another as she cuts their heads one by one... “So we can seize this Hollow onslaught!” Rarity said while, she herself tries to blast some hollows with her magic. “STOP IT?! I’M JUST GETTING STARTED ON KILLING THESE BASTARDS!” Kenpachi yelled in delight as he draws the attention of the hollows to him, then slicing them in half, not even bothered by the constant wounds he kept getting... “COME AT ME BASTARDS!! RAHAHAHHA!!!” “He’s nuts!” Dash said, as she hovers above Yoruichi. “Thats just how he is, Dash.” Yoruichi smiled at her... “Yo! Stop talking and keep breaking!” Toshiro yelled as he keeps freezing some hollows coming at them. Yoruichi stops the chat for now, and continues the assault further; Rarity keeps on blasting random Hollows while Dash and Kenpachi rages around the ground and the sky... Pinkie was talking to a Hollow, which kind of forgotten about the fight and just listened to Pinkie Pie. “What the fuck is she doing?” Toshiro said out loud while taking a glance then freezing hollows still. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SoiFon on the other hand, is defending the south side of the town alone... Flash stepping to one hollow after another, piercing their chest and inflicting an overwhelming damage to each one... “Hah~! This is just a piece of cake!” She gloated as she lands to a nearby branch to admire her handy work... Just then, more ghoulish Hollows leaps towards her, but she quickly cuts them all up down to size, until they fell dead to the ground...SoiFon was busy fighting the front, that she forgotten her back where a few strong hollows ambushed her... SoiFon wasn’t able to manoeuvre fast enough despite her mastery of Flash Step... She was tossed down to the ground losing some of her breath by the force of the landing. A Gillian drops down right on top of her, and started beating her up. Soifon was defenceless and pinned down... her weapon was knocked off her finger, and was just inches away from her reach. She tried for reaching her weapon, but that went in vain when a hollow spots what she was reaching for and kicks it far away from her grasp. “Damn it, how careless of me! I let a weak and pathetic creature sneak up on me!” She blamed her stupidity... The Gillian had, had enough of her sight... it then turned his tendrils to spikes... and pulls back for force upon impact... “Is this it?! Is this where my journey ends?”SoiFon said to herself, she looks at the Gillian with such anger. The Gillian plunges his spiked tendrils towards SoiFon... she closes her eyes already prepared for her demise, breathing her last breath of air... “GETSUGA TENSHO!!!” The Gillian suddenly got split into half, along with the other hollows that were following it. SoiFon was stunned in her place looking at the dead corpses of the hollows before it disappeared into nothing. “That move…” She spun around to see Ichigo standing on the top of a tree holding this great Zanpaktou Zangetsu. “Yo…” Ichigo simply said, while SoiFon sat there looking Ichigo with such radiance while the moon shined over him… just like a saviour in a dire situation. Soi Fon slightly blushed at this, but quickly shook it off… “W-where have you been?!” She asked Ichigo who jumps down from the tree. “Nowhere, thanks to Rukia…” He grumbles, “So… what’s the situation here?” SoiFon starts to relay information to Ichigo on the current situation. “The town is already infested with hollows… the others are trying to push them back, but they kept on coming!” Soi Fon said. “That’s not good… if this keeps up, the town will be in ruins by the end of the night.” Ichigo looks beyond the tree line and sees smoke coming up from the other side. He immediately jumps up towards the tree’s branch leaping from one branch after another and heads to the town to help. “Soi Fon! Keep them pushed back in this area; I’ll see what I can do to help back in town!” He yelled at Soi Fon. Soi Fon can only nod as she stayed there waiting for more hollows to come by. “I don’t believe it…” Discord pants, nearly reaching his limits… “I didn’t think, we could…last…this…long, Will...” He glances to Iron Will. “Yeah? I’m just as tired as you are… but, I think this is our end of the line, brother.” Iron Will looks up, seeing that they were heavily outnumbered. Just as they fought 135 hollows earlier, now the numbers had doubled… and they were surrounded. Scarred, wounded, drained and exhausted. Iron Will and Discord can’t fight any longer… “Well… at least it’s been a good run while it lasted…” Iron Will said. “It’s been a slice… been night knowing ya, bull…” Discord said, already accepted his fate. The hollows growled and jumped at the two wounded warriors, about to kill them and send their souls to oblivion… just when they lost hope, something leaps from the bushes, and attacked the hollows in one swoop, slicing them to pieces… Both Iron Will and Discord cannot believe on what just happened in front of them, just when they were about to die. “What the~” “I told him to be solemn… but it seems, he’s too eager… to help the weaker…” A voice said as it turns out to be Zecora, walking out of the bushes… “Uhm… it’s… he made the right choice on moving ahead of us…” Another voice said, which turns out to be Fluttershy. “Fluttershy?” Iron will called out. “Zecora?!” Discord did the same. “Well if it isn’t our friend the Draconiquis… tell me, how does chaos progress?” Zecora asked, but Discord remained silent. “Fluttershy! I never expected you’d be here in this neck of the woods.” Iron Will asked the shy one, but she remained silent as well… Iron Will and discord soon turned their attention to the white looking creature standing at the clearing, sheathing his weapon back. “Is he one of those hollows? He has that same aura of them…” Discord said, looking at the two mares. “Ulquiorra” Fluttershy said, “That’s what he told us…” Iron Will and Discord looks at him then back at the mares. “Where did you~” Before he can ask, several hollows came roaring towards them. “Leave…now…” Ulquiorra said, as he jumps towards the opposing monsters… “Come on, we should move on!” Zecora said, running out of the cross fire… Iron Will and Discord are too weakened to fight back, so they ran with Zecora and Fluttershy away from the fight, while Ulquiorra fought them alone. Toshiro, Yoruichi, Rarity and Rainbow Dash were exhausted, having just fought 300 hollows in one sitting… “THIS… IS… EQUESTRIA!!!!” Pinkie kicks off a dead hollow to a cliff, as it falls down to the jagged rocks below. “Seriously?” Yoruichi stuttered. “Is she always like that?” She asked Rarity. “Trust me darling… she says things we can’t even understand as well… she’s just being, Pinkie Pie… you’ll get used to it…” “I bet…” Toshiro said, then remembers something. “Hey, where’s Rangiku?” “No clue…” Yoruichi said. “Probably inside the castle…” “Is she now… Better go in and check on her then… Excuse me…” Toshiro sheathes his Zanpaktou and went inside to look for his lieutenant… Just then, Kenpachi returned, having several more gashes in his skin… “Well that’s the last of them…” He then looks around. “What happened to the hollows that Pinkie one is talking to?” He asked. “Dunno… there were almost 20 who went close to her but I never really noticed that much… speaking of which, where did she go?” Dash looks around to find Pinkie was no longer with them. Yoruichi gave up a sigh, and looks at the remaining people and ponies in the area. “Let’s make a parameter around here… make a barrier to prevent further hostile hollows from coming in…” “I’ll do the pleasure of it, Miss Yoruichi…” Rarity suggested. “I’ll leave it to you then, Rarity… The others, come with me… we need to see if the town survived the assault…” After which, they all head to Ponyville… As Rarity runs back into the castle. “I wonder where’s Princess Celestia is?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kon wakes up in a ditch, outside the castle… as how he ended up there is unknown even to him… “Ugh…” He groans. “How the heck did I end up here?” he scratches his head… then looks around. “Whatever, I’m out of that nut job place…” he said, picking himself up and walks away. Just as he was wandering aimlessly, he saw something blue on the way… “Huh?” He raised a brow, and went closer… As Kon goes over, he soon spots blood… His eyes narrowed as he went closer and closer… Already in full view, he saw a mutilated body of a pony… wearing some sort of starry cape, and has a tattoo on it’s flank of a moon and a wand… it’s body was ripped apart, and it’s head was nearly impossible to recognize… Kon stood there, as he knew this one was one of those ponies… “Oh god…” Back at the Castle, Toshiro felt a sudden chill… Rangiku who was already beside him, noticed Toshiro. “What’s wrong Captain?” She asked. “I just… felt, something…” Toshiro said, as he looks down on the floor. “I think something bad happened...” Toshiro looked at her with eyes slightly tearing up. “Captain?” Rangiku worriedly said. “I-it’s nothing…” Toshiro insisted, but still can’t shake the feeling… that he lost something close to him. He just can’t figure out what…
