Thank you Rezling08 and Charade for the power stones. I sincerely thank you guys for your support.

Grunt got back to them after she got beat by the Bicorn again. She typed, "I'm back, I feel useless but, I am back." She typed a bit slow and it showed on the screen. She looked on the screen and saw that Fiona and her group was there. She hurriedly typed, "Shite, don't tell them you can contact me. They have to believe that I'm captured for the plan to work."

All three of them looked at each other before focusing on the group. The two men at Fiona's side stopped and went into a fighting stance. Kenpachi said, "Looks like I can have some fun."

Byakuya said, "We don't know which one is the target for her mission. We only know that they are part of it."

The three blew into a ball that turned into a gigai or false body before getting in after Victor said, "Come on out, we know your there." The girl looked more exhausted than the two men.

Kenpachi smiled, "What? You want to fight so badly boy?" He turned to the six year old, "Can I take him into my squad when he dies? He looks fun to fight."

Byakuya said, "He does seem to have the same quality as your squad. Our duty is to protect our queen and get Grunt back, not fight mortals."

Kenpachi said, "That's why I'm asking, you stick in the mud. If it weren't for my consideration for our queen I would be having my fun."

Logan said, "So...who's the pirate and why do you want that puppy?" He was being vigilant cause he could smell that they were dangerous.

Sophia chuckled a bit, "The pirate is Captain Kenpachi Zaraki of the eleventh squad and trust me, you want him to keep that eyepatch on, you may die just with his Reiki being unleashed."

Kenpachi had a hand on his hilt and added, "I can't enjoy the fight with it off as well." He pouted knowing he couldn't fight them.

Sophia said, "We can fight a few bandit groups when we sell supplies to Sandyin village. Who knows, we might find a rogue ninja on the way that you can fight."

Kenpachi's eyes brightened, "As long as I can have a fun fight."

Sophia rolled her eyes, "I'm Sophia, the heir to the spirit king. The one Grunt would often call one of her husbando is Captain Byakuya."

Logan said, "Husbando?" clearly confused.

Byakuya moved his scarf to hide his embarrassment as Sophia explained, "Think the girl version of waifu. She said something along the lines of, 'During my previous life, I had multiple people in my worlds fiction that she would love to date or drool over. Captain Kutchki is one of them.' In layman terms, he's her type and she had a huge crush on him."

Kenpachi said, "Don't know why, nobles are all pains in the bum especially the Kutchki clan who's all about the rules."

Byakuya glanced at him with a bit of disdain and kept his eyes on the men, "My Queen, we should look Grunt before we have to go back. We do have a time limit." He really wanted to change the subject.

Grunt was watching this conversation and if it weren't for her fur, her face would be as red as a tomato, "Why would she say something that embarrassing, I was in middle school when I did that." She grumbled a bit and typed, "Say that again and I will triple the prices of what you can buy from me."

Byakuya glanced at the screen seeing the comment, 'So, Grunt is more than a guide. No wonder she had been anxious since, she left. I really don't get why Grunt uses that alias. Grunt also seems embarrassed so, she's also watching.'

Sophia said quietly, "I know but, it'll probably take a while. This place is weird and if what we were warned about is true, he will try to have fun and ended up getting lost." The he in her mouth was Zaraki cause, he was a fighting idiot and she would've brought someone else with her but, since, Grunt disappeared the mission, shop and lottery tabs didn't work.

Grunt typed, "My main body is asleep and according to you the time between worlds is different...unless, it took six years for the annoying one to create my avatar. Then that'd make sense but, cause the annoying one is a god that watches over the timeline and fate. -\0.o/-"

She was pretty much figuring that Kronos was just messing with them. He was pretty much like Q off Star Trek or Discord from MLP; at least her perception of him, and that he's only messing with them cause he was bored. So bored that he would send people to alternate versions of a world or reality just to see what would happen.

Grunt was looking at the system logs to see what happened during her absence until, Shadow Fiona went to cuddle and tried to put her on her lap. She forgot or more likely didn't know that voice could be transmitted as well as typed messages. She said, "Ack, lemme go, I maybe in a canine form but, I am modeled after three proud legendary beasts." After a bit they heard, "I am not cute...I am not a lapdog, I am a powerful beast that make volcanoes erupt, thunder fall from the sky on command and freeze waterfalls."

[a/n: So, I messed up on the size of Grunt's beast form. Her form is actually the size of a panther or tiger cub at the moment. I wanted her to grow along with Sophia and she will be the size of Clydesdale I think, I haven't decided but, she'll be around six feet tall.]

The voices of Grunt and Shadow Fiona sounded above their heads, "I am not cute, put me down."

Shadow Fiona said, "aww, but your fur is so soft and fluffy like a rabbits."

Grunt growled, "I am not a pet! I am based off the Qilin, Byakko and Fujin! Mythical Beasts that rule over the rain, wind, thunder and fire. Can one of you get your butts up here and save me before she decides to put ribbons in my fur?! This ain't kosher!"

At that the voices stopped and Fiona said, "I never figured my shadow would do that." She was surprised by what she just heard. She didn't know that she had that part of herself. She had always been with warriors so, she couldn't be a girl.

Sophia said, "Yeah, I don't even know why she didn't choose a human form. I remember her complaining about wanting to eat and explore the world. So, it really doesn't make sense to be in a canine form."

Fiona said, "Um, she did say something about it being her prototype avatar and something about wanting to be disguised as a ninja beast. Whatever that is."

The two girls went to the side to let the men talk...well, Zaraki sparring with Logan and Victor. Byakuya stayed near Sophia as a bodyguard. Sophia said, "That kind of makes sense, if she wanted to pretend to be one. Are you sure you want to let those two to challenge him? Anyone with the title of Kenpachi is a scary monster."

Fiona said, "Oh, you don't have to worry about that, those two they have a healing factor and have been alive since, the revolutionary war. Hell, they even fought in the revolutionary war."

Sophia said, "Wow, that is kind of impressive at least for humans." The girls were just talking before the fight between the boys got intense.

Fiona said, "This is the difference between men and women, guys usually like to compare there masculinity before hugging it out. While, we girls can talk it out before someone gets bitchy."

Sophia looked at them and said, "Yup, their like peacocks trying to figure out who's got the prettiest colors for a peahen."

Fiona said, "I would've said monkeys trying to figure out who has the stinkier poop but, yours is more elegant." She glanced at Byakuya and said, "We're talking about them not you. I don't figure you for there type of guy so."

Byakuya said, "I understand, there's usually a difference due to our status." He really wasn't that type of guy to show off his power and his thoughts were to his duty and following the laws of Soul Society.
