The Soul Reaper

CHAPTER TWO

THE QUINCY

BEEP BEEP BEEP

  Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes. "Ichigo..." She said. She then sat up, and rubbed her head. "Wow, what a weird..." She looked at the gaping hole in her wall. "Dream.." Her eyes were wide. She got out of bed and looked out of the gaping hole in her wall. "Hopefully Applejack can help fix this," She said, feeling the rough edges of the broken wood. "I wonder if Twilight knows anything about soul reapers?" She asked herself.

  After breakfast, Fluttershy went over to Twilight's house. She knocked on the door. After a few seconds, Spike answered the door. "Oh Spike! Is Twilight home?" Spike nodded.

  "Would you like to come in?" He asked her. Fluttershy nodded, then entered. Twilight came downstairs, "Oh, Hi Fluttershy." Twilight picked up a book from the ground and place it on the shelf."Do you need something?" Fluttershy nodded."Do you know anything about Soul Reapers?" She asked politely. Twilight dropped the book she was holding with her magic.

  "Twilight? Are you okay-" Twilight walked over to Fluttershy and slapped her so hard she tumbled into a stack of books. Spike ran over to Fluttershy. "Twilight! She had just asked about them, why did you hit her?!"

  Twilight, now realizing what she had done, covered her mouth in horror of what she had done. "Fluttershy, I-" Fluttershy backed away from Twilight. "Fluttershy, please-"

  "Please, Don't hurt me!"

  Twilight was heartbroken. She never wanted Fluttershy to say 'Don't hurt me' to her. She turned away from her friend, and said, "I hate soul reapers." Fluttershy looked at her friend. "Why? Why do you hate them?"

  Twilight sighed. "Because I'm a Quincy."

  Fluttershy looked at Twilight, confused. "What's a Quincy?" She asked.

  "The Quincy are pony mediums, having the ability to detect the existence of Hollows. It all started when they began training to confront Hollows in order to defeat them, the same as Soul Reapers do."-She showed off her reishi bow-"Most of the Quincy were destroyed by the Soul Reapers over 200 years ago in order to prevent the destruction of the world. Quincy are the complete polar opposite of Soul Reapers."

  Fluttershy nodded. "But.." She thought for a moment. "If you could of saved me last night, why didn't you?"

"Because those damn soul reapers got there first!" Twilight stamped her hoof on the ground. "When I got there, the were placing you in your bed."

  "Well if it weren't for them, I would be dead." Fluttershy said quietly.

  Twilight, not hearing fluttershy, shook her head. "I knew you would be involved sooner or later. Your spiritual pressure is too high." Fluttershy looked at Twilight, then bowed her head.

  "I'm sorry..." She squeaked out. Twilight turned around, "DId you say something?"

  "I'm sorry. I had no idea about hollows, or soul reapers, or quincys. I'm sorry I got involved, I-"

  "Stop. You don't need to apologize. It's not your fault, I should've told you sooner. You're the only one I've noticed who has high spiritual pressure in Ponyville." Twilight helped Fluttershy up, "We need to get you to control that spiritual pressure of yours, it could draw more hollows to you, when I may not be able to help." She looked at her door. "I know just the person to help you with that." Fluttershy looked at the door also.

  "Who can help me?" She asked. Twilight smirked.

  "Kisuke Urahara." She said.
