While dangerous to a common human the walking undead were of little threat to the pair. Without intelligence or strength to match the group, the number of casualties inflicted just keep rising on their side. That said Diana find it surprising that when they were close to the group that attempted to bring the kidnapped women with them, they simply left the women be and attack them instead.

"I declare...I thought they would have they would give us more trouble than that." Anna replied with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Indeed but this works for us. The last thing we need is for them to start using the girl as meat shield."

The women that were kidnapped in first place were understandably in a considerable source of distress and Diana didn't think they would readily accept their words after what had just happen. She glanced at Shida who was engaging the zombies as well as Hyakuji who decided to attack the doll directly. After a moment of consideration she finally decided on what to do.

"Edward, lead these women to safety. You have the best sensory ability among us so try and find a route with as little enemy as possible.
Anna, I need you to accompany Edward. This could be a trick to make us lower our guard and recapture the girls once more."


"Fair enough. Combat isn't exactly my forte anyway." Edward replied with a tip of his hat.

"We'll come to back you up should you have yet to wipe out whoever was in charge." Anna offered to which Diana would smile in response.

"Appreciated. Let's do this."

With that, Diana would split up from the pair to join Shida and Hyakuji. Resheathing her sword, her gauntlet and boots start to glow with Hollow Reishi. Remembering Nicholas's tactic, she would rush towards the cars whose passengers had left in a panic. Using reishi to massively enhanced her strength, she lifted a car and twirl around before throwing them in the direction of the zombies with the intention to crush them under the weights of tonnes of metal. Whether the attack connected or not, Diana would throw two more towards the doll next so as to grab it's attention.

Shida was able to strike and defeat a couple of undead stopping their first set of zombies with guns. He looked around to see alot of them had already been cleared by Muimina and Daina's crew. Shida sighed, he's great in one vs one fights due to his affinity for martial arts, but since he doesn't have a special attack with his shikai like Muimina, group combat is not his specialty. Suddenly a few more gun carrying undead show up and start firing at Shida. What is with these gun zombies only shooting at him. But the bullets bounced off his barrier as he rushed them, going for a couple of quick strikes. He started with a slash to the zombies face with the blades on his gauntlets, then followed up with a wide kick to knock a couple out of the way, and finished his assault with an overhead smash on one of their heads.

Shida then jumped back just in time for a car to be thrown through the crowd of undead. Shida looked over to where it came from to see Diana threw it. He looked at her and said "A car? Really? It works but what about the owners?"

He watched as the black bolts of energy hit the face of the doll. He wondered if he did enough damage to defeat it completely, but looking at his surroundings it looked like they needed to attack more aggressively to achieve that. When he looked at Shida, he noticed that there were more zombies coming his way as they continue to barrel him with gunshots. He got worried a bit. Would he end up gory meat? He pondered, but knowing the Second Division from their spar before, he knew he could defend himself well, he wouldn't succumb to these ugly ducklings. Glancing in Diana's direction, he realized Edward and Anna were no longer to be found, perhaps they were now taking the ladies to safety.

A lot of undead were still swarming over them, they needed to wipe them out faster and prevent a lot more casualties. He noticed there were no more people or cars running around, only vehicles parking on either side of the road, as the surroundings looked like a post-apocalyptic area where buildings continue to burn in flames, all the while the undead freely roamed around the city.

He was a few meters away from the two, much closer to the doll. Zombies continue to run towards his direction, attacking with whatever weapons they have in their hands. He was about to counter one strike when he heard a clanking metal towards his direction. He ducked, and he figured it was a car thrown from behind. When he peered over, he saw Diana lifting another one, in order to avoid getting himself hit, he moved closer to her before she threw another one aiming at the giant doll. It wasn't like he thought she would intently throw one at him, he was just clearing the way for her to hit the enemies easier. Again, he looked in Shida's direction, he was busy defending himself, almost having a hard time countering the attacks of the zombies, so he charged towards his direction, tearing the enemies like cow's meat with a flurry of slashes from his sword.

The zombies that abandoned the women they abducted, to help face off Diana and the others, would find themselves crushed under the weight of two cars. The cars thrown at the strange puppeteer would explode on impact as smoke filled the street. Obscuring the current massacre that is going on. The women would be confused with what's going on after hearing the explosion from a distance and try to run away to find some place to hide before being stopped by Edward and Anna. While hesitant on trusting them at first with the way they are dressed they start to think the two to be secret agents most likely with the Secret Intelligent Service here to rescue them, so they comply and find a place to hide out with them.

The cloud of smoke covering the area obscured the resulting massacre. As bones were broken, rotten decomposed meat were sliced and smashed, and even the stitched up fresh cadaver found itself fallen apart at the hands of these three individuals. The smoke clears and it is then that the sight of what they accomplished is shown. Blood and gore littered the streets, along with broken bits of the skeletons. The blaring alarms of the cars that piled up on the crushed corpses were the only thing breaking the silence. Though it looked like every single one of these fake zombies were taken care of.



However turning to the strange spiritual construct that was controlling them, they would see it breaking down into Reishi that was floating off all in the same direction, as if pulled by some mysterious force. There was something odd about the Reishi, it felt incredibly human, and not like Quincy and Fullbringer. It almost felt like it was made out of the energy of regular humans. Even there has been no human with a high spiritual level known to be able to perform something like this. A mystery on top of another mystery, the question is now what will they do? Do they follow the Reishi or do they have something else in mind?

"Hell yeah!"

After dropping tonnes of steel onto the remaining army of undead, Diana wiped her hands slightly just in time to hear Shida raising concerns about about throwing cars at their foes. Indeed, he does have a point about the owners but at least they weren't inside the car when she threw them.

"Collateral damage. Don't worry about it." she replied, waving her hand dismissively. Well, she probably had to talk with the owner and discuss the payment later. Maybe Red Lotus would allow help pay for those damage hopefully.

Noticing Muimina had back up towards her, Diana nodded slightly in response. The women they had rescued were no longer near but she could feel the reishi signature of both her colleagues so she wasn't too worried about them. She was about ready to brandish her gunblade once more to face the creature when it suddenly broke down into reishi particles which didn't feel like anything she encounter before. Not only that, it look as if it was drawn somewhere away from them. She turned towards Shida and Hyakuji.

"I'm gonna follow those reishi particles. If you two got any objections, let's hear it now."

There was no telling what they can expect at the end of the road so she was open to any suggestions the pair may have based on their wealth of experience.

Shida watched as the zombies that were once an army began to dwindle in numbers extremely quickly, many of them were now burning and falling over as the thing that was controlling them began to fade into reishi and flying off all in one direction. That was far from normal and needed to be followed as soon as possible. It could lead to the creator of that puppeteer. Diana then said they should follow it and Shida couldn't agree more. "Lets go before we lose its trail" Shida then started running toward it when he felt a presence nearby, he looked to his left to see a few of his patrol members following him running across the buildings. Without stopping his pursuit he said "Glad to see your all here but I think we three can handle whatever's ahead you guys split off and help civilians and try to rescue any women being captured by these undead. We dealt with the ones on this street but there is a whole city under attack.

The patrol members all said in unison "Yes sir!" before flying off in different directions. Shida then looked over to Muimina "If any 1st division shinigami appear you should give them the same orders"

Hyakuji noticed the doll was slowly vanishing and turning into some kind of reishi particles. Diana and Shida were about to follow it, while the First Division Third Seat thought for a moment. What if it was a trap? Maybe the enemy was trying to lure them, at their disadvantage. If they were to follow it, they would have to be extra careful and wary of any surprise attacks or ambush.

"It's only wise to follow it, however, we need to be extra careful. The enemy might have set traps or ambush us along the way."

Hyakuji remembered about the women, and the possibility that the enemy might send another doll or horde of zombies to capture more.

"Maybe it's also best if Anna and Edward keep protecting the civilians from the zombies. There might be another possible attack within the city the moment we follow the trail."

He started running after the two. Hyakuji noticed there were patrols from the Second Division following them until Shida ordered them to disperse to save other civilians. Shida then met Hyakuji's eyes and ordered him to do the same. The shinigami from the First Division frowned upon his command. Did he just forget their relationship? Why was he bossing around? For some reason, ever since their first meeting, Hagane-san had a way of getting into the nerve of the First Division Third Seat. Hyakuji narrowed his eyes. Iridescent blue iris glaring at the Second Division Third Seat.

"Should I remind you Hagane-san? That's not how the chain of command works in Gotei 13. You're way out of line into ordering me what to do. I am the Third Seat of the 1st division tasked with auditing the reports and correcting the misconduct of all shinigami and you are committing a violation by bossing around."

“This is a verbal warning, let’s not make it an official written one.”

It might sound power-tripping to others, but Hyakuji was only stating facts. The Gotei 13 was pretty particular about hierarchy, while shinigami from other divisions could work together, they could not in any way break the line of command. Third Seats couldn't direct other Third Seats, nor could they act on their own unless it was a message or directive from the higher-ups. Besides, Shida didn't know he was in the World of the Living for a different purpose, he had no patrols with him since his original mission was top secret. Hyakuji was being careful to hide that fact.

What would take a car a few hours drive to reach this destination would take these superpowered individuals only thirty minutes as in the distance they could see what appears to be a lake with a castle situated on an island in the middle. The specks of Reishi going into the castle as it seems they found the base of the supposed perpetrator. As they would get close they would then see how large and oppressive this castle looked once getting close to it. The large gothic architecture looming over them on this dark cloudy night, the only thing connecting the castle to this lonely island was a large stone bridge that must've taken years to build to connect to the lakeside.

"Enter if you dare."



Walking across the stone bridge things become eerily silent. Some stains of dried blood appear scattered across the bridge. Most likely from the corpse puppets that came through here before. Many crows and raven flock over them as if giving them an omen to stay away. As soon as they would get to the front door they would find it open on itself. And once entered it would shut behind them as they take in the sight of the entrance hall.



While the outside suggested the castle itself to be ancient it seems that the inside is refurbished and even given electricity. It was then footsteps would be heard on the upperfloor. Looking down at them is what appeared to be the silouette of man. His appearance obscured by darkness as he stands in one of the few spots the lights do not touch. Everything about him seemed to be human, if his spirit and soul seemed human, but they can't deny that it's the same feeling they got from the puppet that was controlling the corpses.

"Almost Human"

"Do not be afraid, I know why you are here Shinigami. Though I didn't expect you to bring a Fullbringer as well. You probably have a lot of questions starting with how do I know what you are? If you come with me I'll tell you all that I know, what I am, why I am doing this, and how. I am sure your captains in the Gotei 13 would be interested in this knowledge," the strange man said.

He then walked over through a door on the upper level, beckoning them to follow him.

he would soon agree as well though he request caution on their part. A suggestion that Anna and Edward keep protecting civilians was made to which Diana nodded slightly in response.

"Duly noted."

As she lead the way they soon made contact with reapers, some of which faces she somewhat recognized during their fight against Menos Grande stampede in the city. Shida would immediately ordered them to assist with the rescue of civilians in other areas to which Diana was thankful, her team do not have the numbers to cover the whole city.

After which he told Muimina to do the same if he encounter the first division but apparently Muimina take that tone as too authoritative. She wasn't about to get herself involved in whatever squabbles they may have but exhaled slightly and hoped that it didn't escalate into a fight between them. They would be doing the enemy's job for them if that happens.

Their journey took them to a lake where a giant castle looms over them ominously. Having lived in London her whole life, Diana frowned slightly and glanced at the pair.

"Before anyone ask, no I don't think that castle is a cultural heritage. I never even seen it before."

There was no way this castle had pop up just like that, more than likely it was concealed by supernatural method. Upon arriving at the stone bridge, Diana didn't enter immediately and look all around them. The lake acted as a moat but other than that Diana did not spot any visible protection that prevent them from entering. Before she can even say anything, there was a voice that dared them to come inside.

"Who dares Win aye?" Diana quipped though she wasn't sure if any of the pair actually know the motto of British SAS. She placed her hand on the door and turned towards them.

"If you want to call for reinforcement to surround this place, inform them our last known location or have them bomb the shit out of it if we don't make it out alive, you should consider making the call now."

With that, Diana would send a gps text message informing Edward of her last location. Once that was done, the door was shoved open before she stepped inside, revealing that the one who awaits them was someone human. Or humanoid at least.

"Yo, where the girls at? Thought this was gonna be a party." Diana asked, her tone flippant. She's lazily scan her surrounding but in truth she was looking out for traps and the like.

Shida looked back at Muimina with his eyebrow raised "You alright? I was giving a suggestion not an order. I'm not after your job so no need to act like I'm trying to overthrow you. This is combat, ranks don't matter, we all die the same. So how about you stop acting all high and mighty and lets be respectful to each other. We are allies, not rivals."

After a few hours they reached some large ass castle in the middle of nowhere. Shida looked over to Diana as she said this castle never existed before today. "Oh cool a random ass castle pops up out of nowhere seems like fun." As they walked up to the door Diana said something weird. "What?" She then explained what she ment. "Oh ok" Shida then grabbed his black butterfly and sent it out to give a message to his patrol members of his last location and to send back up in a few hours.

Once they got into the door a strange man was at the top of the staircase inviting them to talk as he had info the Gotei 13 might be interested in. "Ya, no. See if you weren't attacking and kidnapping we might be willing to listen, but since this isn't the case, this is more then likely a trap. So instead you have a choice of coming with us without resisting, or you could resist, we kick your ass, and take you in."

"Whatever. Just mind your own business next time."

It was somehow difficult for Hyakuji to understand social cues sometimes. Part of his early life, perhaps, being an aloof person, he was never that sociable. Even now as a shinigami, he would always distance himself from people and would only let people in he found interesting... or those people who had taken a particular interest in him. He must have misunderstood Shida, but was quite proud to admit his mistake. Not in front of Diana Chase.

The trail of reishi led them to a mysterious castle, there was a long stone bridge that connected the grand palace to the main road. The whole area was almost covered in fog, and birds telling of bad omen were resting on either side of the road ahead of them. Even so, without slight hesitation, the three spiritual beings dared enter. The silver-haired girl warned the party that she knew not that the castle existed before. She could only tell them that if she was a native Brit, perhaps she was, otherwise, she wouldn't make such a claim. Maybe it popped out of nowhere? Quite impossible, maybe the original structure was concealed? They had to figure out yet.

When they reached the other side, Diana opened the door to the castle. The interior was surprisingly new, compared to the old facade of the said fort. And they were welcomed by the mysterious figure upstairs.

Hyakuji tried to sense the vicinity for traps or possible ambush. They were lured into enemy territory, it would be ridiculous if the enemy had not prepared anything for his expected guests. Apparently, the mysterious man knew their kind, and he only wanted to talk? After all the ruckus he caused in the city? Unbelievable, there must be more to it than that. He had probably abducted some women already too. And they needed to rescue them as well.

As usual, Shida was quick to give his opinions on the matter, commanding the eerie host to come with them or fight. Hyakuji was more refined than that. Given the damage that the man had caused to the city, it would probably more appropriate to drag him off and kill him immediately, but the incident then, would remain a mystery. Besides, he told them something that would probably be of interest to the Gotei 13. Being in the First Division, this was some kind of offer too hard to resist.

"You have a nice lobby, why don't we just talk here? Unless you have traps set for us wherever it is you plan to take us?"

Sympathy for a Count

It was then a voice emanated from out of nowhere.

"I was going to lead you to the study so that you can all sit down and be more comfortable, but since you are my guests if you wish to talk here in the main hall then so be it,"
the voice said.

It was then a mist came through the door in which he left, as the mist moved down the stairs to a couch as it took the form and silhouette of that of a person. It then formed into a man in gothic archaic clothes, long gray hair, a pierced lip, and what appears to be a strange tattoo on his left hand.



"I am Dr. Leopold von Sauer, the owner of this house and the last member of my clan. The women you came here to rescue are unharmed and I have no ill intentions towards them. But I need them so that I can save my species from extinction, we are a rare breed you see, I may look human and feel like a human but I am what we refer to ourselves as Bounts. An unintended creation of a Shinigami scientist many years ago who tried to find a way to become immortal, and through us, he came very close. As we are able to live longer then humans dare to dream," Leopold explained.

Through a ring of his bell, a tea set floated to him, carried by a smaller and weaker version of the puppet master that controlled the corpses. After it poured him a cup he then took a sip from the tea before continuing.

"We were artificially created beings made with no soul yet given life when our ancestor's bodies went hurdling through the portal the scientist created in an attempt to save his research and flee from those who viewed his work as dangerous. No soul of our own, in order to ensure our existence, we had to devour the souls of others to survive. Though we refrained from eating the souls of the still living, one clan was even rumored to devour Hollows and were able to gain Hollow like abilities as a result, while my clan ate the souls of the wicked before they become Hollows. In a way saving them from a fate much worse than death itself."
Leopold said with a somber tone in his voice.

He then took another sip of his tea as if he was having a casual conversation.

"You know it's great to be talking with someone after so long, I've been alone most of my life. This castle that we're in usually has an illusion Vrajă to hide and the rest of my clan used to live here. And after they perished for a while I was alone so I moved out and lived amongst humans and even became a doctor. And one day even fell in love with a human woman, all was well for a while, until that faithful day. Now I find myself back here," Leopold said.

As he said that faithful day his hands trembled and his eyes had a stare as if remembering a traumatic experience. You can tell something happened to this man to drive him to do this. And that maybe he isn't fully psychologically sound.

Despite their differences, Neither Shida nor Muimina were willing to go along with the host invitation. They both voiced their own reasons for not doing so while Diana simply shrugged as if deferring to the majority. Cosy and inviting the internal of this castle may be, she find little to no reason to abide by this stranger's request.

Diana folded her arms across her chest slightly as the man introduced himself. It didn't ring any bell though she would check the reaper's reaction from the corner of her eyes if any of them show any reaction to such a name. He would then regale his tale of how his people came to this world, essentially informing them that his kind are an artifical being much like a robot or an android.

"Can you two confirm any of this or is it a load of bullshit?"

The man had specifically said that he was the last of his clan which she assumed meant that he had them kidnap for reproductive purpose. If the intention were simply to consume their soul, then he would have been less selective with what kind of people his armies of undead would bring back to his castle. Diana decided to confront him on this rather than pursuing the romance between him and the human woman.

"Yeah that's cool and all but why the hell do you need to kidnap our women like some goddamn Viking? Flowers and chocolate work just as well if you want to court someone."

Shida listened to the man explain his story and who he is, until he heard the word bount. He looked at him wide eyed for a moment before Diana suddenly called out his tactics as bullshit. Shida grabbed her shoulder "dont get near him" he then looked at Muimina to see if had the same reaction to the doctors words. Scanning his face to see if he knew what Shida knew. Shida then looked at Diana and said "I don't have the full story, only what info our intel corp have on them, back when I first accepted this position I started to read through old files to learn as much as i could. I came across a file with most of its info blacked out about a scientist, whose name was redacted, who tried to create a way for shinigami to be immortal only for it to go wrong creating a new species that got sent into the reincarnation cycle onto earth, the old 2nd division members found one of these beings eating a plus. The scientist was banished and the beings were named Bounts. Bounts are similar to the human legend of vampires, but instead of drinking blood they devour human souls, and are immortal as long as they feed. And from what small amount of info we could gather about them before the intel corp assumed them all dead and closed the file, their soul pressure is similar to humans making them hard to track. They also tend to prefer feeding on people with higher spirit pressure, which means full bringers are probably a delicacy to him. Good news is they die like everyone else no need for special spells or special items."

Shida then puts his hand on his sword before continuing "Now that i've poked a little hole in your little, save my race, reason why the hell did you take these women. To feed, or slaves."

Bounts. It had been quite a while since Hyakuji heard that term. The first time was during his earlier years in the First Division. Howeverm being uninterested in most things, he didn't really bothered getting his nose on stuck on it. Until he came across it again during the time he was reviewing the old reports from the other divisions in the hope of finding something relevant to his master's disappearance. Everything Shida told was true. It wasn't new to him however that there were still Bounts existing until today. Shida said that the intel assumed them all to be dead, but the report of some cases regarding Bounts were in a separate top secret file. For one reason or another, he couldn't figure out who in the Gotei 13 was responsible for hiding it, the elite group sure was full of mystery. For a moment, he hesitated if he needed to disclose such a delicate information, but perhaps, it was inevitable so he did.

"There was a case file reporting the existence of rare breeds, who feed on wicked souls preventing them to become hollows. Just as how Dr. Leopold here described himself."

"However, I still couldn't quite figure out why you abduct women....a replacement for your beloved? Life, doesn't work that way." Hyakuji somewhat felt sympathy towards the man. He understood him, having lost his beloved Ayame during his past life. Regardless, love was not something any one could easily dismiss. At least for him. It would take time, heck, he wasn't even able to move forward until today. He was still carrying a grudge against himself, being eaten by a large wave of regret everytime he would remember her death.

"No one in their right mind would do these things. You claimed that your clan fed on wicked souls in the hope of "saving" them. Why bother with innocent lives now?"
