(With Chad and Jackie)
"I'll see to it that they get back to Soul Society." Nemu said in her 'chameleon' gigai, carefully placing the Travel dollhouse they've been using into her carrying case. Giriko still hasn't woken up from when they were in France and they figured it was time he get some real medical attention since none of the Fullbringers had any themselves, Riruka was going with them since she's the only one that could control the dollhouses. "Again, I apologize for being so late, but I didn't have sex with my boyfriend for a couple months and I was thirsty."
"I know the feeling." Jackie mumbled, looking at Chad. "Big guy here is too much of a boy scout."
"I'm still considered a minor." Chad defended, feeling slightly embarrassed by the turn of the conversation.
"Yeah yeah." She went on to mumble about 'age of consent' and how they were both legal by Japan's laws, but not the United States, where Jackie came from. "Anyway, thanks for this guide on Greek Mythology." She said to Nemu, who nodded.
"Considering what Uryu reported a while back, it only made sense." The artificial soul said as she finished packing. "You decided to head back towards Greece, which is where some of the most famous heroes came from. If there were legacies of Joan of Arc, King Arthur, and even Gilles de Rais, who knows how many are from the Greek world. Plus, there's more than heroes out there, so watch yourselves." She picked up her case and opened a special Senkaimon gate. "By the way, Orihime says hello. She's heading for the Celtic lands." And just like that, Nemu left through the gate.
Chad and Jackie continued on their way, backpacking and camping their way to Greece on foot. There was little training they could do to strengthen their Fullbrings, but they did whatever they could. Racing, sparring, anything that could enhance their skills and abilities as they made their way across the land. Rare was the day when one of them wasn't tired from training, trying to push themselves to their physical and spiritual limits. Days and weeks passed as they entered and continued through the land Greece, keeping an eye out for any evidence on Quincy in the area. They finally got a sense of a strong spirit, several of them, when they were traveling in Thessaly.
"Says here that Mount Pelion was the home of the centaur Chiron, the trainer of heroes." Jackie said, looking them the guidebook when they started searching the mountain. "Also says here that he was poisoned, gave up his immortality, died and joined the gods of Olympus."
"So if he's dead, whose occupying that area of the mountain?" Chad asked as they continued to follow the Reishi of whatever was up there. "His replacement?"
"Either way, Chiron trained most of the great heroes and most of those people left kids behind. This might be a gold mine of potential for the Vandenreich if they successfully find any of them." They continued on before sensing something in the mountain trees. "And now we're being hunted." Jackie said in a whisper, both Chad and her going getting ready for a fight. "Clean Bubble." Jackie activated her defensive Fullbring, focusing on good and happy memories to keep them in her impenetrable shield. They continued up the mountain, keeping mindful of the being following them, and roughly two hours later they reached a dead end. A cave the size of a small apartment, good for escaping weather but not much else.
"The trail ends here, but it doesn't seem to actually lead anywhere." Chad said, leaving Jackie's bubble to further analyze the stone. "This whole area seems to be filled with some kind of energy." He raised a hand and pushed forward, sinking into the rock like it was smoke. "Illusions, of course." He jumped back into Jackie's bubble and yelled out to whoever. "We know you're hiding! I ask that you reveal yourselves! We're not your enemies!"
"That goes for you too, whoever was following us from the midpoint on this mountain!" Jackie yelled back, hearing the leaves rustle with agitated movement which was followed by a figure dropping from the trees.
"It's a relief to hear you call yourselves peaceful." They heard a calm and collected voice speak as a man wearing a white and blue tunic with leather armor appeared, with long brown hair that reached his lower back and riding a brown horse. At least, they thought that at first before recognizing the horse's head was the man's body. "I am known as Chiron, and I welcome you." He announced, shocking the two Fullbringers.
(Inside Chiron's Home)
They entered through the illusion to find a shining Greek temple with statues of what could be assumed to be ancient heroes holding up the roof, wide and open space where someone twice Chad's size could move around in comfort, a hunter camp on one side with a deer being drained of blood and a small farm on the other side with a couple goats and some chickens. Deeper inside was a library filled with books and scrolls, many bedrooms, a large bath, and all with dozens of braziers and an opening in the top of the mountain. The group sat in what could be considered as the commons area with a platter of bread, cheese, fruits, milk, and tea. Across the Fullbringers was the mythical trainer of Greek heroes, calmly drinking his tea, while a girl dressed in green and black with feline ears and a tail pulled along a man with spiky blonde hair and silver armor with an orange cloth by his ear.
"For the last time Achilles, no one wants a cake that we don't have time for and your baking skills are atrocious." The girl said as they stood at Chiron's side, though she was glaring at the Fullbringers.
"Atlanta, be nice to your brother." The centaur lightly scolded before smiling at Chad and Jackie. "Sorry for the lack of a proper spread, I wasn't expecting guests. I am Chiron, as I've said, these are my students and adopted children, Atlanta and Achilles." The pair nodded at their respective names.
"Are they of the ancient heroes' bloodline, reincarnations, or just random people that were named after said heroes?" Jackie asked before she could stop herself, the Greeks subtly becoming more guarded as a result of the question.
"Sorry for the sudden question from my friend." Chad immediately said, trying to defuse the situation. "We have to ask that because we've encountered other 'heroes' that were under attack or falling into a villain's hands. My name is Yasutora Sado, she's Jackie Tristan, and we're facing a war where our enemy is trying to gather other heroes."
"Are you recruiting then?" Achilles suddenly asked, smirking confidently and excitedly. "Because, if so, you can count me in!" His enthusiasm surprised the Fullbringers, since they weren't expecting it to be this easy. Then Chiron chopped his son on the head.
"Achilles, don't be so eager to join a war you have nothing to gain from." The centaur scolded. "I've taught you to be a warrior, but a smart and wise warrior. Neither of which suggest you jump headfirst into battle recklessly."
"But why train us if we have nothing to fight?" Achilles countered the point his teacher made. "I'm not jumping into a battle, I'm volunteering for a war that is still being prepared. I'm certain they'd tell me everything I know, and I doubt it would serve anyone if people like us stayed on the sidelines. Besides," he turned to Jackie and Chad, "the big guy doesn't seem like a bad person. Am I right in assuming that you aren't native to Greece? That this war might threaten the whole of the world?" The pair nodded. "Then you can count me in." Achilles said with a smile, Chiron could only sigh in annoyance.
"Could you explain how you were able to track me and how I can prevent that from happening again?" Atlanta suddenly said, gaining everyone's attention. "Do that, and I'll fight for your side as well." Chiron's irritation and parental concern was exasperated by Atlanta's declaration, something she noticed. "I'm a huntress teacher, I'm at my best when no one can sense me. They sensed me the moment I started stalking them and they were prepared. If what they say is true, then I need to be ready."
"Stubborn," Chiron sighed, "just like the originals. And to answer your questions from earlier, Ms. Tristan, they are indeed the reincarnations of Achilles and Atlanta. Atlanta still bears a part of the curse that turned the original into a lion, making her more feline, but she uses it to perfect her hunting ability. Achilles is also a blood descendant that is the reincarnation of his ancestor, but his curse was changed into having enhanced durability instead of nigh invulnerability. I found both as abandoned babes on my mountain and took them both in as my children, and trained them as is my duty as the legendary teacher. If you want my children to aid you, I'll need to see how you measure up as heroes yourselves."
"Of course." Both Fullbringers said, Chad being sincere while Jackie mumbled under her breath. "Anything else before we begin?"
"Who are your opponents?" The centaur asked. "If they're going to attack, we should know how to identify them."
"Of course." Chad said while Jackie fished something out of her backpack. "Our enemies are called Quincy, humans that have learned to manipulate ambient spirit energy to use as weapons." He told them about the history that led to the first war and near genocide of the Quincy, the circumstances of their return, the dangers they presented, and the threat of Yhwach. "They are best identified by the five pointed cross that is their symbol." At that, Atlanta's cat ears perked up.
"Five pointed cross?" She asked for clarification. "Would they also be wearing white military uniforms? Because I think I saw some of them before." Chad and Jackie froze as the news hit them.
"Show us where."
(Hidden Cove)
Atlanta took the group down to where she first saw the suspected Quincy appearance, not really concerned since she thought they were simple tourists. Once there, they found what could only be described as a smuggling operation with nearly a hundred Quincy. They watched as Vandenreich hauled around crates and cages full of Greek monsters, moving around a short Greek bireme ship bearing no visible symbol aside from a near invisible Quincy cross on the sail. Shock gave way to other emotions as Achilles looked eager for combat, Atlanta and Chiron were more cautious as they studied the area, while Chad and Jackie tried to keep everyone's heads down.
"I should've come back sooner." Atlanta cursed as she passed a pair of binoculars to Chiron. "There were only a few at first, but I thought it wasn't an issue. Guess I was wrong." One of the cages shook furiously, a Quincy shooting the being inside with a spirit bow which only served to anger the occupant. "Poachers. How disgraceful." The cage burst open with a cyclops breaking out, roaring in anger at his treatment. An anger that was short lived when a spear pierced through its head directly from the eye, casually throw by a man with round glasses that was clearly the leader of the group.
"A Sternritter." Chad cursed, remembering his last encounter with one of the Quincy elite. The Sternritter in question now looked like a cold and unfeeling officer of the army, one that seems more content with just killing everything in front of him that isn't worth converting to a Quincy. "This is bad." He looked around to find a way to get closer and get more information when he saw Atlanta notching her bow. "STOP!" He whispered harshly.
"Sternritters are elite soldiers with special abilities." Jackie quickly explained. "If you jump in recklessly, the only result will be your death. Especially since you can't hide your presence to them yet." The archer growled in frustration at their current helplessness before noticing something odd.
"Is that Jason?" Atlanta asked, spying a blonde man in a white and blue tunic with orange cloth around his waist. "Definitely connected to the original Jason, but why is he involved? You said they're gathering heroes themselves, but Jason was completely useless as a fighter."
"But he still led the other heroes of the Argonauts Atlanta." Chiron reminded the girl. "And a silver tongue can be more dangerous than any sword or spear. I'll get in close and try to listen, be ready to flee if I get captured." The centaur descended further down the way to close in on the Quincy, Chad and the others keeping an eye on him and the Quincy just in case they needed to move. Tense minutes passed with the only notable change being Chiron losing his horse form for more mobility before he returned, bearing a look of calm fury. "We have one week. Let's get ready.
(Back at Chiron's temple)
Day 1
The group threw themselves into training themselves in preparation to attack the cove and the Quincy inside. What had Chiron so on edge was the news he heard from Jason and the Sternritter, Quilge Opie. The news was that Jason was attempting to sell out other Greek heroes to the Quincy, and any number of them would be dangerous to have as enemies. The question was, which hero would be the target? He wanted to keep an eye on the cove, but the group needed training. However, Chiron was the best teacher in all of Greece for a reason. Achilles and Chad were to spar while Jackie taught Atlanta how to control her 'Reiatsu' as the Fullbringer called it.
"You've definitely got strength Sado." The Greek warrior said, "but you're lacking in speed and technique." They were trading quick blows, both dodging and deflecting attacks while getting a gauge of their abilities. "Like so!" He quickly caught onto Chad's arm and got it into a lock, making his side vulnerable to any assault. "I don't know what martial arts they have in your 'Soul Society', but I suggest you pick up something." Achilles let go as they restarted their stance for another round, the warrior smiling confidently. Suddenly Chad was in front of him, almost like he teleported, with his hand just hovering an inch away from his body.
"I'll admit, I am lacking in that regard." The Fullbringer admitted, rubbing his joints from the stress of using Bringer Light to move that fast. "As you can tell, 'power' is my strong suit over technique and I'm not exactly the fastest. In fact, my martial arts training as a whole was barely longer than a year before I devoted myself to training and understanding my own specific powers. Everything else was making sure I was strong and durable enough to keep up." Achilles felt himself smile, the sudden ferocity of the attack making his blood boil for combat, but he held himself.
"I can help you learn Pankration. It might help." He suggested as they resumed their spar. Atlanta's training into sensing Reishi, was not going as well.
"Don't use your hearing!" Jackie scolded, moving too fast for Atlanta to react thanks to her Dirty Boots and kicking the girl in the gut. "You're trying to see the spirit of a person." The huntress was blindfolded but was still able to dodge, after a few punishing kicks from the Fullbringer, thanks to her trained hearing. Now, Jackie upped both her speed and her force so that Atlanta was too slow to react. "If you don't catch up, you're going to end up dead." She warned as Atlanta forced herself back to her feet.
"Again." The huntress demanded.
Day 4
Since souls grow in power rapidly in response to near death experiences, Atlanta managed to gain the ability to 'see' spirits and sense Reiatsu after being brought to the brink of death for an entire day. After that was a matter of learning how to control her Reitsu so that she wouldn't be exposed when she took over spying on the cove, which was much easier than getting beaten to near death. With that skill under her belt, she and Jackie went to the cove and had Chiron return to the temple. Chad and Achilles now sparred in Pankration, which the centaur was overseeing before deciding it was time for a break.
"Enough!" Chiron gently called out after Chad put Achilles in a shoulder lock, the two disengaging from each other. "Achilles, go get some water. Chad, I'm curious about your 'Fullbring' abilities. Mind if we talk about them?" Achilles went about getting the water while Chad and Chiron left the temple.
"Basically, how they work?" The Fullbringer asked as they walked into the outside, Chiron nodding and waiting. "Fullbring is the basic ability of pulling on an object's soul, something anything has and we can manipulate that in certain ways. My increased speed is from 'Bringer Light' which is pulling on the soul of the ground or air to accelerate my movements. Fullbringers also access their own respective abilities from something they have a strong attachment to and mixes its soul with their own to gain those abilities. Jackie loves her boots and her memories with them influence their abilities. For me, it's my arms and my pendant." He said, grasping his medallion. "I've always had great strength in them and this medallion is the representation of my promise to my grandfather and best friend."
"Do you only take pride in your arms?" Chiron suddenly asked, getting Sado's attention. "I understand taking pride in the strength of your arms, but what about the rest of your body? Do you not have any pride in your legs or your torso? You have great strength in your whole body Chad, so why does it only cover your arms?" Chad looked at his figure and wondered that very question.
Day 6
"So, I've been wondering." Chad started as he and Achilles entered the baths of the temple. "What's it like being the reincarnation of the Achilles?" The Fullbringer asked the hero, who took a moment to think about it.
"Honestly, sometimes it feels like there's a voice in my head giving me advice." Achilles admitted before chuckling. "Problem is, that voice doesn't have any advice beyond fighting. So, guess that voice is pretty much pointless." The two shared a laugh before the frantic voice of Atlanta broke them out of it.
"Everyone assemble! Now!" They heard her call out, prompting the two to get out and get dressed. "They just got their first real victim, and it was Medea." She said as they appeared in old fashion Greek tunics, Chiron next to the huntress as he made the map. "Must her fate be to suffer because of that bastard Jason again!?" She growled, her former life's anger at her former comrade rising to the service.
"Stay calm Atlanta," Chiron ordered, "control your anger, don't let it control you." He finished drawing the map and faced the assembled group. "The story of Medea bears a legacy of magic, heartbreak, and betrayal. The original Medea was charmed by Aphrodite to betray her family and country for the sake of Jason, a man she's never met before, and was tossed aside in favor of another princess. She herself had so much potential that Hekate herself taught the princess magic. Her reincarnation is undoubtedly as skilled as her original self and would be a great asset to any side that had her. Atlanta, what is the current situation at the cove?"
"Several Hellhounds, a couple of Cerberus, a few Cyclopes and Minotaurs, a chimera, and it seems like the Calydonian Boar was reborn as well." The huntress reported, turning to the Fullbringers. "That boar is mine, the original Atlanta killed it and now it is my turn." A few grunts from Chiron brought the girl's focus back as she continued the report. "A couple dozen Quincy and Jason himself, but no Sternritters. The Sternritter from earlier is supposed to appear at noon for pick up."
"Then we'll attack at first light." Chiron decided. "Achilles, Chad, Jackie, the three of you will free the monsters and attack the Quincy. In the confusion, Atlanta and I will recover Medea, then Atlanta will join you in destroying the monsters. Get some sleep and be ready."
(Hidden Cove)
They moved silently, racing down to the smuggler's base and readying their assault. Chiron and Atlanta made their way to the cave where Jason had the 'best' prizes while Chad, Jackie, and Achilles circled the perimeter. Achilles had his spear and shield while Jackie and Chad had their Fullbrings ready, prepared for the eventual battle to come. The sun started to rise, setting the ocean on fire, when Chad and Jackie began to move. The two Fullbringers blurred out of sight, smashing locks and hinges on cages to release the many monsters, unleashing the beasts on the Quincy.
"The animals are free! THE ANIMALS ARE FREE!" One of them yelled out as the monsters charged out and began wreaking havoc. A cyclopes charged out and smashed a Quincy underfoot before bellowing out a loud roar, followed by the rest of the monsters attacking. In the confusion, Achilles charged out with a smirk as he indulged in battle.
"Come on! Is this all you've got!?" He challenged, running a couple Quincy through before throwing the bodies into the water and turning it red with blood. "I had higher expectations!" He continued on while fighting both Quincy and Greek monsters.
'He's not wrong. These guys are far weaker than the ones we originally saw here.' Chad thought, fighting through the crowds of Quincy and monsters. 'Something's off.' He quickly grabbed a random Quincy and jumped away from the fight, standing on the water, holding his victim by the throat. "Where's the Sternritter?" Sado demanded, painfully squeezing but not choking his target.
"S-s-sir Quilge... not here!" The Quincy managed to gasp out while Chad continued to crush him in his hand. "T-took Jagdarmee... unit... and l-left! G-gave Jason.... one week to.... get results!"
"So you're only Soldats?" Chad asked, getting a nod from the Quincy. "Good." He quickly snapped the soldier's neck, a far easier end than anyone else would give him, before turning back to the chaos that was unfolding. "Now's as good a time as any to test this." His Reishi engulfed his whole being before it quickly shifted into his Diablo Gigante, only wrapping around his body like an armor. "Okay, not dying. That's good." He kicked off the water and charged back into the fray, smashing through everything before punching a crater into a rock wall. "Still new to this." He ripped his hand free and dodged as a bull headed figure charged at him. "Let's do this." He said, accepting the challenge.
(With Chiron)
The centaur and huntress moved the moment they heard the first scream, bolting into the cave while others rushed about in the frenzy. Atlanta even found the cages of the chimera and Calydonian Boar, shooting out the locks with her arrows and freeing the beasts within. Lucky for them, the animals were more interested in revenge against their Quincy captors than the pair going further into the cave. They soon heard the sounds of crying and irritation.
"What the hell is happening out there?" Atlanta scowled upon hearing and recognizing that particular voice, a tone of arrogance that rung back from bygone days. "I told that Quincy fool to leave some elite troops! 'Not until you produce results', well now you'll lose some good product. At least I'll get to keep you out of my hair."
"I didn't want anything to do with you!" A voice full of fear, innocence, and sorrow cried out. "But you just can't stop torturing me, can you!?" Chiron and Atlanta nodded to each other as they went further in, watching as Jason tried to drag a cage onto the bireme from earlier, which held a young girl inside.
"Medea." Atlanta whispered in recognition of the young girl. She wore a lavender purple gown, had lavender colored hair in a ponytail that reached her lower back, and it was covered in dirt and mud from less than gentle treatment. The huntresses wasted no more time as she charged forward and tackled Jason, knocking him away from Medea's cage, which was caught by Chiron. "Hey captain~. Remember me?"
"That will be quite the unpleasant experience for him." The teacher said as Medea tried to crawl away inside the cage. "It's going to be alright. You have nothing to be afraid of anymore." She still looked apprehensive of the centaur.
"You... you're NOT here to kill me?" She asked, disbeliving anyone or anything would help the infamous witch. Even if she was technically a clean slate due to reincarnation.
"We're here to help. Come child." Chiron gently said, interrupted by screams of agony. All from Jason.
"That's not supposed bend that way!" He cried out. "THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BEND THAT AHHHHHHH!" A scream that followed a sickening crunch that sounded like bones getting broken.
"Now it does." Atlanta calmly said. "Isn't that nice?" She soon made her way to the cage. "I wish we could meet under better circumstances Medea."
"Atlanta? Is that really you?" The young spellcaster asked, earning a smile and a nod from the huntress.
"Master, get her out of here." Atlanta said as she turned back to Chiron. "I'm going to help the others slay all the monsters. We can't afford to let any of them run loose." Without waiting for a response, the huntress ran off to begin her hunt.
(In the middle of the cove)
Chaos reigned in the cove, all the skeleton crew of Quincy smugglers were dead and so were many of the beasts. Chad was wrestling with a Minotaur twice his size, Achilles was battling the Chimera, Atlanta was fighting alongside Jackie after shooting her arrow directly into the Calydonian Boar's eye and brain, all while Chiron took Medea to safety. The young spellcaster took that option, but only after spending some time kicking Jason in the family jewels. Meanwhile, Chad's training shown through as he dominated the fight with the bull monster. The beast had the greater size, but Chad had the greater strength and speed. He grappled with the bull as it charged at him before twisting under it and throwing the beast over his shoulder. The Minotaur landed head first, horns breaking off from the impact, before Chad Spartan kicked the beast in the gut and sending him flying into the rock face.
"Makes this quick." Chad whispered to himself, generating a large spirit construct of his fist. He threw his punch and smashed it into the Minotaur, reducing the beast to paste. With that done he immediately dispelled his Fullbring and dropped to his knees, panting from the effort. "Not coughing up blood... good sign." He muttered as he got back up and fled the cove, no longer bearing any energy to continue the fight.
"Looks like Chad's out." Achilles remarked, seeing the man move before returning his focus to the abomination in front of him. "Now, let's see. If I remember, the first of your kind died choking on molten metal." The chimera before him roared in rage, a serpent for the tail, a vicious lion on the left side, a goat on the right, the two heads side by side, and the middle looking like a disturbing mix of the two beasts. "I could follow tradition," he spun his spear while bringing up his shield, "but where's the fun in that?" He smirked before charging.
The chimera roared out a torrent of flame from the lion head, forcing Achilles to raise his shield while continuing his charge, protecting himself from the worst of it. When his shield began to get too hot, absorbing so much direct heat, he dropped and slid to close the distance, only to be met with the charging head of the goat. He managed to block it with his shield, but without the time to make it into a deflect instead of taking the full force of the blow, he felt the wind get knocked out of him as he became trapped beneath the chimera. The beast pushed itself onto its hindquarters, preparing for another attack, but Achilles readjusted his grip on his spear and thrust it into the chimera's chest as it fell toward him. Moving quickly from there, he let the beast's weight push it further onto his spear before grabbing the lower jaws of both heads and pulling them down, effectively impaling the beast. Not content with that, he took his shield and bashed the two heads repeatedly until they hung limp. The serpent tried to strike, but he dodged and caught it by the neck before snapping it.
"Looks like I pierced it's spine. Haha! That was lucky." Achilles laughed, inspecting the damaged before pulling his spear free. He turned to look for more prey, but Chiron returned to the battle and it looked like all the other monsters were dead. He found Jackie tending to Chad as he and his two companions went over to the Fullbringers.
"Looks like you've exhausted your energy, but it hasn't affected your life force." Jackie said, breathing a sigh of relief before noticing the centaur and heroes. "So, what are you planning now that you know?" She asked, making the group look to each other.
"With Jason's smuggling ring out of the picture, I think the legacy of the other heroes should be safe... for now." Chiron started. "But, now that I've seen the evil of this 'Yhwach' for myself, I don't think even I can sit idly by and wait for this to blow over." He turned and began trotting back to the temple. "I'll get Medea and I'll join you in your war."
(Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers)
Next Frankenstein
"She seems to be making good progress." Nozomi said as she and Kisuke watched as the Frankenstein mod soul continued to fight in another combat test against more Hollows, this time of a stronger level. "Though, not feeling pain is more of a detriment than an aid. Maybe make the skin tougher..." She started mumbling on before Urahara caught her.
"I know this particular mod soul needed a lot of attention, but you did make sure to make progress with the other experiments?" He asked, snapping her out of the trance.
"The only real progress with those Teigu comes from ones that we have physical samples of. Like the 'Devil's Extract' ice one. If Ichigo can get a sample of that 'Incursio' then I know I can make a break-though on that front. Meanwhile, I've started on the next Frankenstein model and I know this one will be an improvement." She handed him a file.
"Why is she in a swimsuit?" He immediately asked, looking over the specs of the new body.
"My team's own words, 'Franky-chan is too cute to not do that.'" Nozomi answered. "Can I have something to shock them sir?"
"Get Frankenstein to do it." He answered, hearing the last Hollow die. "After you fix her... again."
