Final Round.

I shove a teaspoon of sugar into it and stirred it, the creamy goodness came alive. I smiled and I guess even Gilbert could see that I was happy. He chuckled and I looked up at him.

"Guess everything went great? He asked and lowered in to hear a response.

"Uh huh". I said with a nod and cautiously looked around.

"Happy for you". He remarked and I scoffed.

"Get me an oatmeal will you? I ordered and he snapped immediately.

"Yes captain". He laughed and wandered off in the shop. I chuckled shortly after and raised my tea cup to drink.

I heard the door of the café creak open, the bell rang and a strange figure appeared closer to me.

"Huh? I gasped as my eyes slid down to catch the person who entered. Expecting a costumer, it was a familiar face. It was Blue bird and before I could even make a move, I saw him reach for his coat. The inner leather, pulled out the strong that led to an explosion.

I was sent sky high and crashing into a wall, the café was destroyed and a slow walking Blue bird was in sight. I struggled to get up but my vision blurred as I felt the explosion might have injured me badly and led to my sudden unconsciousness.

I woke up strapped to a wheel chair, my eyes heavy and saggy. I slowly moved my head upward and tried to get a hang of where I was. There was these tall hanging trees everywhere as though I was in a forest of something. The ground looked devastated as though it was burnt off.

I raised my brawls as I saw Yumeko standing in front of me. She had a grimy look on her face and glared at me in disgust. I glanced around to see Blue bird and other upper ranks of her team.

"Well, well, well…I finally found you! Yumeko snapped and pulled in a step closer.

"bullshit. Like you ever liked me? I grumped and she let out a low moan.

"I did…but with your recent behavior, I don't". She squeezed her face and I scoffed.

"I don't buy it. You are lucky am in this chains, else you'd be dead".

"Really? Bcos you killed Rin, you think you can actually defeat me". Yumeko muttered and I snarled at her. I watched her lean in closer, and whispered to me.

"You captured Glenn, didn't you? I put a tracker on her and now I know where your hide out is". She said and I was spooked.

"my forces are on their way there now. I'll eliminate every last one of you, until you crawl back and come to me. Then I'll turn this world into my playground".

"Don't you dare! I screamed and she giggled, pulling her face away from mine.

"then try to stop me. I dare you".

"I'll never come crawling back to you, ever! I snapped and and chuckled.

"I don't need you anymore. Besides, the formula is alreadt complete and now, this world shall be filled with my puppets". She laughed hysterically and I feared because I haven't seen this side of Yumeko ever.

So when Glenn asked that I shouldn't survive her, she was trying to warn me of the tracker. Regardless of that, I can end Yumeko here, once and for all. Don't worry abou, but yourself and finishing what you started.

"Hey, blue bird?! Yumeko called out and he looked at her.

"Kill Ichigo". She muttered and I was shocked how she said it so casually. Before I could even move, I was punched in the gust and fell off the chair. Luckily for me, the chains shattered by my landing and I was free to fight again.

"Yumeko! I yelled out and she stopped.

"Yes husband". She muttered in a girly voice.

"You're wrong…I always win and I am one step ahead of you". I muttered and she stared at me in awe.

"I pulled a gun from underneath my cloak jacket and aimed for Yumeko. She stared at me confused and in pale as Blue bird pulled in closer to block it.

He stopped the bullet with his bare palm and I scoffed. "Nice shot, Ichigo but such doesn't Blue bird". Yumeko said and pulled her out from behind him.

"I know but this ain't ordinary bullet". I muttered and smiled.

Yumeko eyes widened and she looked at Blue bird, who wasn't moving. He suddenly stopped and started to decay off like a fading paper in the desert.

"How did you? What bullet was that? She snapped and I chuckled.

"Some one's sacred. I stole from guns and ammunition from man hunter. Thanks to Iggy, I was able to stabilize it and create the perfect killer weapon for Blue bird. I already knew he was an experiment but I need to kill this experiment of yours". I said with confidence and immediately got rounded up by Yumeko's forces.

"Go! ensure we destroy the six nines. I'll teach this fool his place". Yumeko mumbled and the ghouls went running.

Before I could utter a word, my hand which had the gun was stabbed by her underground spikes and the gun fell over. I need to run immediately as she kept producing multiple spikes. I dodged every last one of them but couldn't come close to her. Yumeko kept a formidable stance and distance from me, using her spikes to cut and pierce me.

I used my Kagune spikes to shoot at her foot but she just used her ground spikes to block her foot. But despite her first movement, there was till a way to break through. I just need to find it.
