Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Of Captains, 3rd Seats, And Lieutenants!: The Four Aces Alliance Is Cautiously On Guard! (Part 1)
"Hello there viewers...Keiko here...*I proceed to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before once again bringing my attention back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers properly*...Now then viewers...*I proceed to attempt to speak up again, only for a certain someone to then proceed to speak up*..."
"So your name is Keiko? That is quite an interesting name...So I take it that you and Shinko are sisters then?...*A somewhat cheeky sounding feminine voice now proceeds to speak up from a couple of feet behind me. And without even having to turn around, I proceed to address her. Who has long purple colored hair, orange colored eyes, and is wearing an all too familiar looking orange colored ninja type outfit*"
"Ah Ms. Shihouin...or should I address you as Yoruichi? And viewers...for those of you who don't know who she is...then don't you look like the person who...*I proceed to say this, only for Yoruichi to come rushing towards me, and then proceed to stop right next to me. To which she then proceeds to speak up*"
"Hello there viewers...Yoruichi Shihouin here...*She proceeds to say this, only for me to then start getting just a little bit irritated from her sudden interjection. But I manage to keep it under wraps*"
"Ms. Shihouin, might I ask...*I proceed to try and ask Yoruichi a question that I have had lingering for a few seconds. Only for someone else to now come into the frame of shot, and then proceed to speak up*"
"Oh, are we talking to the viewers again Keiko? Because...*Renji Abarai now comes into the frame of shot, along with Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, and Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto. Which not surprisingly, now causes me to get just a bit more irritated. But thankfully, someone else has now come into the frame of shot, and then proceeds to clear up the current mess that was created by Yoruichi's sudden interjection, among with several others*"
"Okay, so if you all don't mind, Keiko needs to finish her fourth wall break to get the current chapter underway. So if you would all please let her do that, then we will both answer your lingering question, as soon as this current chapter has concluded...*Shinko, who has come into the frame of shot with Renji, Toshiro, and Rangiku, now proceeds to help clear up the current situation. Which thankfully winds up doing the trick*"
"Thank you for that Shinko, and you have my thanks...*I proceed to say this, while temporarily turning my attention over to Shinko. To which I then proceed to smile at her with both of my eyes closed. I then turn my attention forwards again, in order to continue to address the viewers*...Okay then viewers...let us now finally proceed into the current chapter...But first things first viewers...a chapter recap is in order...now then...shall we?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"

Okay, so as of the last chapter, we were all now finally transformed again. Well, that was despite me having to tell everyone to search inside the thoughts of a body, that wasn't originally theirs. And, this was...well...how about we just gloss over that. Anyway, getting back to the current situation.
"I summon lightning!" Urd suddenly proceeded to shout out. As she raised one of her hands skyward. And just like before, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky. Only trouble was...
"Don't you have any more tricks then just that one Urd!?" Li now proceeded to shout out to Urd. And he had said it both a ticked off sounding tone, and while a look of massive irritation was also present on his face.
"Li, why don't you use your magic, and stop worrying about other people!" Zachary proceeded to say, in an effort to try and get Li back on track. Which wound up doing the trick.
And, as Crowley, like before, proceeded to once again raise one of his hands, forming yet another forcefield, that wound up deflecting Urd's lighting. Crowley then proceeded to speak up.
"Alright, time to send you all to the grave," Crowley said, as he once again started speaking in the same cryptic sounding language from before.
But, more importantly...
"Hey Crowley?! Let me ask you a question. Why so serious? Also, in the words of Clint Barton's Hawkeye...made you look..." Shinko, who was still stuck in my original body, then proceeded to say, with a SpyXFamily Anya type smirk present on my original bodies face.
"Wait a sec, what do you mean..." I started to say, only to then look slightly behind Crowley, just in time to see both Renji, and Rukia, suddenly sort of warped in from out of nowhere. Only to then realize, that they had used their respective flash steps, to accomplish this.
And upon realizing this...
"Hey Crowley? Have you heard of a sudden freak weather event? Because as Shinko just so kindly put, made you look," I then proceeded to say. To which I just simply went, and nodded slightly at both Rukia and Renji. And once they had both nodded back in response, they then set about helping to dispatch Crowley.
But to my surprise, as well as to the surprise of several other people on our side...
"Now Roar...Zabimaru!" Renji called out. Which was then followed, by his Zabimaru, then proceeding to separate into its 6 segmented form again. To which it then proceeded to make its way towards Crowley. And thankfully, before he could react quickly enough to Zabimaru's Shikai, he was then ensnared in several of Zabimaru's segmented sections.
"Now Dance...Sode no Shirayuki!...San no mai, Shirafune!" Rukia called out. Which was then followed, by her Sode no Shirayuki, then proceeding to glow white. Only, once the light had faded, her Zanpakuto was now completely made of ice. Which in an instant, caused the blade of it, to suddenly and rapidly extend outwards, at an alarming rate, and towards Crowley.
"So, she is able to extend the reach of her Sode no Shirayuki...interesting...And I thought that Shinko's Saint Sword Of Bluebell was impressive," I thought to myself, while I proceeded to glance at Shinko's Saint Sword Of Bluebell in my left hand. Which was Shinko's technically. But you get what I mean.
And, once the now extended and ice encased blade of Sode no Shirayuki, pierced through Crowley's body, right through the left of his back, and then out the front. We all thought, that this fight with Crowley, was finally over.
But, however...
"You think you have all won this fight haven't you? Also, I forgot to mention something to you all, this is not my original body. So your attacks can't kill me. But, that doesn't mean that I can't kill all of you. So, I will just leave you all for the time being, as I have a master plan to attend to. But just know, that none of you are safe by any means. So, until we meet again. Which, may wind up being a bit sooner, then you all might think," Crowley proceeded to say, as he just simply wound up fading out of existence.
"Hey get back here Crowley! We're not done here you coward!" Zachary now proceeded to chime in with, now once again irritated, since Crowley had once again decided to play the coward.
And though this was not the end of our fight against Crowley. For the time being, we had to figure out a way to get everyone on our side, back into our original bodies.
But thankfully, this wasn't going to wind up being much of a problem. In fact...
"So, does anyone happen to have a way that will help get us all back into our original bodies?" Shokuhou proceeded to ask in Rei's voice. Since was still currently stuck in Rei's body.
"Well Shokuhou, it is funny that you should ask that particular question," Urd now proceeded to respond to her question with. While a somewhat knowing smirk, was also currently present on her face.
And this was then followed, by Urd then proceeding to raise one of her hands upwards. To which a bright golden sphere then formed in it. And as it flew out of her hand, it then expanded, and then temporarily blinded everyone else.
But, once it had died down, I then noticed, once I had looked down at myself, that I was back in my original body. Which I was able to confirm by the fact that I was once again wearing my usual Tokiwadai Middle School uniform, and the same mane of long light blue hair.
And more importantly, so was everyone else.
"Hello there everyone, Keiko here again...now viewers...this now marks the end of this chapter...And just for a heads up viewers...the next two chapters, will wind up being non action filler chapters...So viewers...see you lot there...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
And now that the chapter recap is now done. We will now proceed right into the current chapter.
Date: September 21, 2009
Okay, so it was now the following day, since me, Misaka, Kuroko, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, had last dealt with one Aleister Crowley. But, since he had gone back into hiding, it had been decided that the rest of our allies, would remain in Academy City for the time being. At least until Crowley was no longer deemed to be a threat to Academy City.
However, this did present us all with a problem. Because under no circumstances, were we going to be able to have them all stay with us at Tokiwadai. But, with the help of one Misaki Shokuhou, this wasn't going to be a problem.
Which was why we had had her, go and plant certain thoughts into the minds of everyone in Tokiwadai Middle School. Well, all of the higher ups, as well as some of the individuals around Academy City. Because with Exterior having been destroyed, Shokuhou could only use her Mental Out Esper ability at its normal power level. Which was still quite a few people.
Which thankfully, wasn't enough to overtax her, should she be needed again for when we did wind up eventually going against Crowley again.
But, thanks to Shokuhou, we were able to get the rest of our friends vacant dorm rooms, a couple of doors down from ours. Which, given what was going to take place in a few more days time, this was going to wind up proving to be very beneficial.
But, getting to the current situation, which was, well...
"Okay, though it was very nice of Shokuhou to help our friends get those vacant dorm rooms, this still hasn't allowed me to trust her any more then I do right now. Which to be honest Misaka, is not really a lot," I proceeded to say to Misaka, while both her and Kuroko, as well as me, were currently in our respective dorm room, trying to figure out what exactly was going to be our next plan of attack with regards to Crowley.
The only trouble was, just as Misaka was about to respond to what I had just said...
"Why did it have to be this complicated to find a single dorm room!" A now very loud sounding male voice proceeded to yell out. And this was then followed, by the door to our dorm room, proceeding to swing open somewhat slowly.
And in walked, well...
"Hey, you three! Can you tell me where Captain Kuchiki went?" A man with a completely bald head, and wearing a white colored shirt, proceeded to ask me, Misaka, and Kuroko.
And as for who he was...
"Uh...I'm sorry, who are you? And why are you bald?" Kuroko proceeded to ask the man, as she was also currently trying her best not to burst our laughing.
"What was that?! And who says..." The man proceeded to say, as his expression proceeded to then suddenly shift to one of slight annoyance and frustration.
But thankfully...
"Hey Pachinko Head, this is not the time to be talking to them like that. Isn't that right Kenny?" A sort of childish sounding female proceeded to speak up with from behind me, Misaka, and Kuroko.
And without me even having to turn around, my blood, then proceeded to run cold. "Oh...oh good god no...why is he here?!...So this whole situation just got very very unpredictable...And what I mean by that viewers...Is well..." I proceeded to think to myself, while during this very thought, I had turned my attention, slightly to the right of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.
But on the subject of who these three were...
"C-Captain Zaraki I presume?...3rd Seat Madarame...and Lieutenant Kusajishi...to what do we..." I proceeded to try and speak up with. The only trouble with doing this, was that I wasn't exactly expecting Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, to wind up being involved in all of this. As he was the sort of Soul Reaper Captain, that was known to be very unpredictable.
And given what would ultimately wind up transpiring in just a few more days time. This would actually wind up benefiting all of us, in what was going to wind up becoming a fight, that would once again, wind up putting everyone in Academy City, and in at least two other anime dimensions, in grave danger.
"Hello there again viewers...Keiko here again...*I proceed to say this, while traditionally bowing to the viewers. To which I then proceed to bring my attention back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers properly*...Now then viewers...*I then proceed to try and attempt to continue my current end of chapter fourth wall break. Only for someone to then proceed to come into the frame of shot, and then attempt to speak up*"
"Hey Keiko? Would it be alright if...?...*3rd Seat Ikkaku Madarame proceeds to try and speak up. Only for me to politely interject, to let him know, that telling the viewers where he and everyone else were in the Bleach timeline was not going to be necessary*...Ikkaku, it won't be necessary to tell the viewers where in the Bleach timeline you all came from before winding up here. As Shinko has already gone and taken care of that for you and everyone else. Now then, would you be so kind as to have me finish my fourth wall break? As that would be much appreciated...*I proceed to say this, while giving Ikkaku a sort of expression, that is basically letting him know not to try and contest this. Which although he then proceeded to try and do exactly this, he then proceeds to nod in response, as from then seeing my expression, he decides against it*...Good, now then viewers...this now marks the end of this chapter...And so viewers...see you lot in the next chapter...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed, and my head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
