Bleach: A Grand Adventure

It was another beautiful day in Ponyville, as birds were chirping, flowers were blooming, and the various species that called the town home were going about their days like normal, all while Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down as she moved down the road. To all of the other ponies this was within expectations, she was always doing odd or crazy things, and most of the time she liked to bounce like this, it just showed them that she was in her usual happy mood and that she likely had plans for the day. Pinkie's plan was simple, since some of her friends had gone missing, namely Twilight and Rainbow, she was going to visit the place some of the other ponies had said they were last seen heading in the direction in, the Everfree Forest, and she knew that the only reasons for that were the castle and the Tree of Harmony. With that in mind she was going to visit the Castle of the Two Sisters, search around for a bit, maybe check in with the Tree, and then be back in time for a party she was going to help set up, which she loved doing.

Pinkie found her way to the path leading into the Everfree Forest and continued to hop down it, humming to herself while ignoring the dangers that were out there, she wasn't too worried about the forest anymore, thus allowing Pinkie to reach the old ruined castle in no time.

"Nothing seems out of the ordinary." Pinkie commented, as there were no signs that Twilight had been here, every stone and item looked to be in the same place as the last time she came here, and while she walked through the structure she didn't see anything that might reveal that Rainbow had passed through either.

Something did catch her attention as she moved down one of the old hallways, it was a room Pinkie was sure that none of them had noticed in the past, something that caused her to stop and open the door, revealing a nearly empty room, save for a desk with an amulet resting on a mannequin head's neck. It was similar to how the Alicorn Amulet looked, she recalled how it looked when Trixie wore it, but it was more golden, like how Princess Celestia's royal attire looked, and seemed to pulse with the power of the sun, or a shade of it. She studied it for a moment before smiling, as she felt something, or maybe it was more accurate to say someone, resting inside the amulet, someone she might be able to talk to while she searched the place, as she was sure the Princess wouldn't mind her wearing it for a time. With that thought in mind she slipped the amulet off the mannequin and placed it over her neck, where she felt the presence in the amulet stirring as it realized that someone had removed it's home and was now carrying the amulet elsewhere.

As Pinkie walked around, however, she found that the presence in the amulet either didn't seem interested in talking or it was observing her for a time, though after some time she found that there wasn't much in the castle for her to explore, so she started down the path towards the cave the Tree was in.

Who... are you? a voice asked, where Pinkie found that it came from the amulet, instead of from inside her head where her other side often resided, as Pinkamena was strangely silent today, but this was something that caused her to smile as she continued down the stone path that brought her down to where the cave was located.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie. You looked lonely, sitting in that room on your own, so I decided to take you with me." Pinkie replied, all while reaching the bottom of the path and quickly found the cave that would bring her to the Tree of Harmony, yet she could feel the presence inside the amulet stir for a moment, "I'm actually looking for some of my friends, Twilight and Rainbow, as they went missing recently and I've been trying to find them."

I see. Why would you come here? the voice inquired, though Pinkie found that it was a feminine voice, it was similar to Celestia's and yet different at the same time, but she noted that there was something about what she had said that caused the presence to grow interested in what she was doing, or maybe it was due to her being the first pony the presence could talk to in a long time.

"My friends and I occasionally come here, each of us for a number of different reasons. I just figured that since they were last seen coming this way I'd check these two areas first." Pinkie answered, though at the same time she bounced a few times as she walked into the cave, as this was more interesting than she thought it would be, and it wasn't long before they reached the end of the passage, coming to the large crystalline tree that had the six Elements of Harmony embedded inside it, "But I don't see any signs of them anywhere... they couldn't have just disappeared all of a sudden, could they?"

Not without powerful magic. the voice stated, appearing to regain some confidence after speaking with Pinkie for a few moments, which Pinkie was fine with since she loved to make friends with ponies, and even other races, while also helping others with their problems, though in the next moment Pinkie felt something come from the Tree of Harmony, a soothing presence that she was only now feeling for the first time.

Pinkie found herself swaying for a moment, like she was drowsy for some reason, while at the same time the amulet broke apart as if the magic was freeing the presence trapped inside it, causing a flaming serpent to wrap around her for a moment, before Pinkie closed her eyes as she hit the ground, yet it felt like she was endlessly falling and wondered what she would discover when she finally woke up.

It was night in Karakura Town, a time where Kisuke could relax while keeping an eye on the various reiryoku levels that were scattered throughout the place he called home, as there were several individuals he was keeping an eye on while not getting involved with them right now. He was a tall man with a lean build and he usually wore a dark grey colored coat that had a white diamond pattern on it's bottom half, and under that he was wearing a dark green shirt and pants, plus he usually wore a white and green hat on his messy light-bond hair. Kisuke was keeping an eye on the reiryoku, or spiritual power, levels of the people in the city because he was keeping track of his friend's movements, his friend's son, and several other people that were scattered throughout Karakura Town. In addition to that he was keeping his senses open for newcomers to the city, because someone was supposed to arrive from the Soul Society in the near future to replace the agents that had been slain recently, but, like always, they were dragging their knuckles with their decision on who to send next.

As he thought about that there was a flash in the air above him, above where his shop was located, as what could only be described as a crack in reality opened before Kisuke's eyes, though as he got to his feet he spotted two bodies that fell right through the opening, two girls he noticed, and once they were deposited the opening slammed shut, as if it never existed in the first place.

Kisuke noticed that one of the girls was slightly smaller than some of the high school girls he had seen, in fact her chest was half the size of the one he had seen hanging out with Ichigo Kurosaki, yet she had pink hair that was puffy, which reminded him of cotton candy. The second one was more interesting in Kisuke's eyes, as this one was more like a young adult, similar in age to Ichigo's group, maybe a year or two older, and she was definitely as tall as he was, yet her chest size was definitely on the level of the girl he compared the smaller girl's chest to. It was in that moment that he noticed that neither of them were human, rather they were like anthro ponies, reminding him of the wolf Captain of Soul Society, with both having hooves at the end of their legs, tails, pointed pony ears, and short muzzles on their faces. The taller one had a while body, in fact it was almost alabaster in color, while her hair was either colored to match the sun or it was literal fire, he honestly wasn't too sure, but both of their hair was normal sized, like what humans had, and they were wearing ragged shirts and pants.

The fascinating thing was that he could tell that they were powerful, their reiryoku was off the charts, though it was possible he was overreacting from the portal that had brought them here, to which he decided to shelve the thought as he heard one of the girls let out a groan.

"Wh... Where are we?" the older girl asked, raising her hand to her head for a moment, which was when Kisuke noticed the short horn in the middle of her forehead, unbothered by her fiery hair, plus the alabaster feathery wings that were attached to her back, before the lady freaked out by seeing that she had a physical form, "What the... why do I have a body?"

"It would seem that you two are lost souls that were given a new chance at life." Kisuke remarked, which was a guess on his part, but the way the lady spoke and reacted to having a body, in fact she was more focused on the fact that she had a body of her own and was less interested in him, which was why he came to this sort of conclusion, "Can't say that I've seen a soul be reborn like that, but I've seen a lot of strangeness in the past and can hazard a guess that you two were reborn like this for a reason. Tell me, do either of you remember your names."

"D... Daybreaker." the lady replied, though at the same time, much to the man's surprise as she noticed him standing there, Pinkie got up and was walking around like this was nothing at all, reminding her that the chaotic mare was Twilight's friend and usually did a lot of crazy things, so being able to adapt in mere seconds was normal for her.

"And I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie said, stopping in front of the man for a moment, who seemed surprised by her bubbly energy and the fact that, if his guess was right, that she was able to adapt to having a body again in such a short period of time, all while she glanced out at the city with a wide smile on her face, like she was imagining all the fun she could have now.

"It's a pleasure to meet the both of you. I am Kisuku Urahara, owner of the Urahara Shop." Kisuke replied, gesturing to the structure that was right behind him, a closed shop since it was nighttime, while at the same time finding that the lady, or Daybreaker as he mentally corrected himself, forced herself to stand and seemed to be having a hard time getting used to standing on two legs, meaning she must have been without a body for a long time, "Tell you what, why don't you two come inside with me and we can talk... I'm sure both of you have questions and I might be able to answer some of them, plus I might be able to help you down whatever path you might want to walk later on."

"Sounds like a plan... hopefully I can master walking as well." Daybreaker commented, though at the same time Pinkie just walked over to her like it was nothing and showed her a few moves, meaning the mare was willing to help teach her how to move so she didn't have to worry about falling and hurting herself, especially in front of a stranger.

Pinkie, however, kept the smile on her face, as it seemed like she and her new friends were about to embark on what could be the adventure of a lifetime and she was eager to see what sort of challenges and events it would throw at her and Daybreaker in the days to come.
