"The giant monster is not yet dealt with?" Finn asked, "Come to think of it, Kisuke Urahara still hasn't come out of the Dungeon."
"Oh right... Before we start, let's release the seals. There's no point for it now, anyway." Yoruichi interrupted and turned to Serafall.
Serafall nodded her head and snapped her fingers. Despite the single simple gesture, the sound of her snap traveled across the barrier and the sound spread out throughout the whole base and several kilometers beyond.
The wave of sound instantly unlocked something inside the heads of the people who'd stayed in Orario for the past years. The celebratory mood instantly went away and silence descended to the whole place. A few seconds later, some scream erupted and that signaled everyone to wake up from their abrupt stupor.
Unlike those outside, the inside of the tent's silence continued on and the one who spoke a few seconds later was Liliruca Arde from Miach Familia, "...Those two Familias... How could I forget?"
Everyone had the same sentiment as her.
"Well, that's not really important. Listen to what Loki has to say first."
Loki also clapped her hands to gather everyone's attention, "We are not yet out of danger. In fact, we're in much more trouble. If my guess is right, the disappearance of that 'monster' will make another, much more dangerous, 'monster' descend on this plane."
Everyone stood on alert when they understood Loki's words and the celebratory mood from earlier had completely disappeared.
"Do you want us to prepare? And how?" Allen from the Freya Familia asked, "If the monster you're talking about is even remotely close to that from earlier, the only choice we have is to escape and let those who could fight, stop it."
But before Loki could answer, Yoruichi's head suddenly snapped to the side and she immediately stood up.
"Yoruichi?"
Yoruichi ignored Loki's call and drew her dagger and made a single cut in the space in front of her. From that cut, a single hand came out, and soon a severely wounded person with a missing arm came out of it while casually muttering, "It won't be just a single monster this time. That guy will be bringing his own army and there's nowhere in the whole world anyone can hide."
Kisuke, in his normal form with blood continuously dropping on the ground, sat down beside Yoruichi before continuing, "You, and everyone else living in this world will have no choice but to fight for survival."
Without waiting for any instructions, Line immediately ran over to Kisuke and immediately started her treatment. As soon as her Magic began, a faint silhouette of Kisuke's complete body overlapped on his current one, and the small wounds he had instantly started disappearing, 'By pulling out information from the 'past', she's able to overwrite the 'present' with it. Although it's only limited to restoration and healing, it's still a pretty powerful concept that is only below Orihime's 'causality rejection'.'
While Kisuke was watching and studying Line's Magic and guessing how she envisioned this concept, Yoruichi asked him, "Is alright to talk about this?"
"Yep." Kisuke answered, "That slimy bastard is busy checking if Tiamat is really dead. We have a few hours before his attention turns to something else. Just enough time to make things clear."
Those who had weaker stomachs couldn't stand looking at Kisuke with his ripped flesh that gave a window to his bone. However, the words he uttered gave everyone a shiver and an image of a bloody war of an unprecedented scale.
"First of all, if that 'guy' allows me and those I want to leave, we'll leave. Regardless of what happens to this world."
Despite not exerting any effort, Kisuke's last words felt so cold that they froze everyone on the spot.
Disappointed, Bell asked, "Where would you even go if you said that the war will be on a global scale?"
Kisuke displayed a grin and returned a question of his own, "You're still asking? You already have an idea, right?"
As Kisuke has guessed, those who are sharp enough were able to have an idea that they are not from these lands, at least, they think that they are not from Lower or Upper World.
Bell closed his eyes and uttered in a heavy voice, "...That's really unfortunate."
But then, Ais stepped forward, "Then what if 'that guy' doesn't allow it?"
Intrigued by the changes in her, Kisuke inadvertently stared at Ais out of curiosity until he felt Riveria's sharp stare, "...Well, as much as I hate it, if 'that guy' turns hostile, I'll be the first one he'll eliminate. It's no mystery that I'll defend myself."
As if Ais was very sure that the discussion would turn violent, she replied, "...Nice working with you."
Kisuke couldn't help but chuckle at her response since he has the same opinion as her. And that reaction of his put Loki at ease, 'If he knew he was fighting, he should have prepared for this too.'
All of the small injuries on Kisuke's body were healed and only a few large wounds along with his missing arm needed some healing. He could use his own regenerative ability but he wanted to recover as much energy as possible in case Chaos suddenly decided to come down now.
"In any case, prepare for the worst... And don't trust anyone that you don't know or anyone you don't respect, really." Kisuke stood up and started walking towards the exit and Line wanted to slap his back for suddenly moving but stopped herself and just continued her treatment.
"...Huh? What do you mean by that?" Tsubaki asked.
Kisuke didn't answer her and Yoruichi, Serafall, and Line followed him outside. However, that didn't remain unanswered as Riveria gave her one, "That means 'that guy's' army or a part of it could come from the inhabitants of the Lower World."
'And probably of the Upper World...' Riveria wanted to add but decided against it, 'But they don't need to know something that isn't a hundred percent set in stone.'
"You're not going to follow them?" Loki asked.
And Riveria shook her head, "As he has said, we need to prepare and I'll do my best so that no one of this group and my friends die. They can fend off for themselves and I think Line will be returning after healing Kisuke. After all, this is still our family."
'Besides, if I really leave you in a time like this, I wouldn't just hate myself but also receive a not-so-mild scolding from them.' Riveria thought while releasing a long breath with a wry smile on her face, "Alright, everyone. Come closer. I'm going to teach you all some simple but effective Magic that may very well save your lives. We'll also need to create a network of communication between ourselves so we won't lose each other's positions in case the situation turns chaotic."
