"Hello there viewers...Shinko here again...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open them both up again, in order to continue, to properly address the viewers*...So anyways viewers, before I proceed forward with this current upcoming chapter...and like always viewers...a chapter recap is in order first...now then viewers...let us begin the chapter recap now, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed*"

Okay, so things had now gotten a little bit out of hand with me having suddenly told Keiko to at least try and hear the female out. Especially since I had just witnessed Keiko just use her iron sand composed sword to slice through and completely shear and shatter her dark pink Claymore sword, pretty much all the way to its guard.
But, as Keiko was about to learn, there was actually a very good reason, as to why I had approached this particular situation in this sort of manner. And what I mean by this is...
"What are you implying with your statement exactly Bluebell?" Keiko now proceeded to ask me. Which now that she had calmed down a tad from being irritated. Keiko was now going to learn exactly why I had approached this current situation in my current manner.
And sure enough...
"I mean after all Keiko, all it takes...is a 'single spark'...isn't that right Keiko?" I now proceeded to say. Which upon me putting just a bit of emphasis on the words 'single spark,' Keiko then realized what I meant. Well, when I say that...
"Uh, so Bluebell? How about you stop acting like the Riddler for a moment okay? I mean after all viewers, Jim Carrey was crazy enough in the role as it was. Alrighty then," Keiko now proceeded to say. Which she had said in this manner. Not just while sounding almost like Jim Carrey had sounding in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. But also because, this was apparently due to Keiko now knowing exactly what I had been trying to say to her.
But not surprisingly...
"Uh, Keiko...what are you and Bluebell talking about? Stop speaking in riddles. Because for all I know, the viewers have probably stopped reading by this point. And it would've been in a large part to you and Keiko speaking in this manner," Zachary now proceeded to speak up with saying to Keiko.
And this was while I had not taken notice, that Zachary currently had a complete small eyed and comedic looking expression on his face. Which pretty much all but indicated, that he didn't quite understand what me and Keiko were exactly trying to do, by saying our respective, and honestly quite cheesy sounding statements. Well, it was cheesy sounding to Zachary anyway. But to me and Keiko, this was actually sort of the norm for both of us.
But thankfully...
"My Zachary, aren't we just 'one card short?'" Keiko now proceeded to say. And just before Zachary had then proceeded to then get irritated at Keiko's currently somewhat cheesy sounding statement....
"Forget it Keiko, just proceed! He doesn't get it!" I now proceeded to say, in an effort to now try and defuse the currently escalating irritated expression on Zachary's face.
Which once I had seen that this had done the trick...
This was then quickly followed, by me then proceeding to quickly leap forward at a pretty good speed, with my Saint Sword Of Bluebell drawn back. And a split second later, my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, all but disintegrated the rest of the dirty blonde haired girls dark pink colored Claymore sword.
And this was due to the fact, that at the moment that my Saint Sword Of Bluebells blade, made contact with the guard and handle of the dirty blonde haired girls dark pink colored Claymore sword. The rest of it simply wound up shattering into several pieces, and then simply disintegrated into nothing.
But, just as this had happened...
And because I wasn't prepared for it enough, in order to react in time. I was then struck in the back by, an all too familiar looking white colored arrow at speed.
"Oh sorry, am I interrupting?" Uryu Ishida now proceeded to speak up. As he used one of his white gloved fingers to adjust his glasses slightly on his face.
And not surprisingly...
"That depends Uryu...are you prepared to see our response?" Keiko now proceeded to say. While still with her iron sand composed sword in hand. She then proceeded to leap forward towards Uryu.
And not surprisingly, Keiko's iron sand composed sword, wound up simply swinging at air. Since Uryu just simply went, and proceeded to easily dodge Keiko's current advance on him.
"You're going to have to try harder then that to land a hit on me Mrs. Arrogant," Uryu somewhat snidely said back to Keiko in response.
"Oh, I'm not the one you should be concerned with keeping your eyes on Uryu. Didn't anyone ever wind up telling you that it isn't rocket science, to not take your eyes off of the main intended target? Isn't that right Rukia?" Keiko now proceeded to say, with a smug looking smirk now finding its way onto her face.
And sure enough...
"Now Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!...Some no mai, Tsukishiro!" The voice of one Rukia Kuchiki now proceeded to say. As she called out her Sode no Shirayuki's Shikai.
And not surprisingly, and as I had intended. Uryu wasn't able to react in time. As an all too familiar wall of ice, then surrounded him, trapping him inside, and thus, he was currently unable to move. At least, for the moment.
But strangely...
"My Uryu, aren't we just 'Cold As Ice?'" Keiko now proceeded to say. Which just after Keiko had said this statement of hers. I then noticed that Zachary had wound up with having a sweatdrop, now proceeding to form, and then slowly make its way down one side of his face.
"Well Keiko...I guess that it is the thought that counts after all...I mean after all viewers, Cold As Ice by the band Foreigner, can wind up being quite the catchy sort of song to listen to on occasion...isn't that right viewers?" I thought to myself. Which during me having this very thought, I had briefly turned my eyesight, slightly to the left of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.
But, I still currently knew all too well, that our fight against the Quincies, was still far from being over. And to make matters just that much more complicated. We now had these females with dark pink colored and magically enhanced Claymore swords, to deal with now as well. And though we did not know who they truly were yet. We would learn of a newer type of magical girl, called a Reflector.
"But you see viewers...Oh right, Keiko here again...*Keiko proceeds to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers as usual. To which she then proceeds to bring her attention and eyesight back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers. She also now proceeds to clear her throat, as she then proceeds to continue, to properly address the viewers*...And for now viewers...this now marks the end of this particular chapter...But like last time viewers...we will get right back into the action in the next chapter...so viewers...see you lot there...okay?...*Keiko proceeds to say this, while smiling with both of her eyes closed, and her head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
"Well said like always there Keiko...Zachary here by the way again viewers...So viewers, as Keiko herself just so happily put...we both look forward to seeing you all in the next chapter...okay?"
"And that was well said from you as well Zachary...So viewers...all three of us, look forward to seeing you all in the next chapter...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed*"
And now that the chapter recap is now done. We will now proceed right into the current chapter.
Date: April 17, 2021
Okay, so given the current situation. What with Uryu currently frozen in a wall of solid ice that had just been created from Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki's Shikai. We were all about to learn, that this, was only the beginning, in what was soon going to become, and all out fight across dimensions. Even more so, then it was already.
But, getting back to the current situation at hand...
"Uh...Keiko...so that was your witty one-liner? To quote a song title from the band Foreigner?" I now overheard Zachary now proceed to say, in regard to Keiko. As I could pretty much tell, that he wasn't exactly a fan, of how she had just gone and stated, that Uryu, was 'Cold As Ice,' in a somewhat cheesy sort of manner.
"Oh lighten up Zachary! And besides, aren't you sometimes cheesy in this sort of manner yourself on some occasions?" Keiko now proceeded to say back to Zachary in response. While giving the sort of all too similar smirk, that one Anya Forger from Spy X Family, or Frieren from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, both sometimes tended to give on occasion.
And not surprisingly...
"Uh...well Keiko...you see...the thing is...Oh why do I need to bother with answering you, that's not the point that I am trying to make here Keiko! And you know full well what I am trying to say! So stop trying to flip it back to me like that! I mean my goodness, you're as irritating of a professional gas-lighter as those Vtubers from Hololive tend to sometimes do on occasion to each other!" Zachary said. Which while he was giving off a sort of deadpan looking expression. I then noticed that he had proceeded to briefly turned his attention, as well as his eyesight, slightly and briefly to the left of him, in order to briefly address the viewers.
But to my surprise...
"Oh really Zachary...so that thought you just had isn't self contradictory then?" Keiko now proceeded to say. Since she was somehow able to tell that he had been speaking to the viewers in a thought based fourth wall break. And this was due to the fact, that Keiko also tended to give a similar sort of expression, when she did her thought based fourth wall breaks.
And not surprisingly...
"Oh Keiko, whatever do you mean?" Zachary now proceeded to say back to Keiko in response, in a very feeble attempt, to try and feign some sort of ignorance.
"Nothing Zachary, nothing at all..." She proceeded to say. Which during this thought, Zachary had noticed, that she briefly turned her attention, as well as her eyesight, slightly and briefly to the right of her, in order to briefly address the viewers.
But then...
"Hey Keiko? You're doing it again," Misaka now proceeded to say to her in response. Which she had said to Keiko, with a deadpan looking sort of expression present on her face. Which was in order to help let her know, that now wasn't exactly the best time, to be addressing the viewers. Which pretty much clued me in, on the fact that Keiko had been doing a thought based fourth wall break.
But as for the reason as to why Misaka had told Keiko this. Well that reason was as follows...
Because while Keiko was dealing with Misaka regarding her fourth wall break. I was then able to just notice, that the dirty blonde haired girl, had now proceeded to put both of her hands into a sword holding like stance. And to my surprise, and in a quick flash of light, her dark pink colored Claymore, wound up materializing back into her hands. And not even a second later, she proceeded to leap forward towards me.
But thankfully, I was able to use both my quick reflexes, and my Saint Sword Of Bluebell, to easily block her blade. And as it slammed against my Saint Sword Of Bluebells blade, I was then thankfully greeted by the comforting fact, that the swing lacked any sort of reverberation. Which, had been present, back when Viento had slammed his heavy sword against mine, back when we were still fighting against Raindevila. Which was all the way back in our original canon anime timeline, back in 1996.
But getting back to the situation at hand...
"Hey Keiko, pay attention, we have a situation to deal with here!" I now proceeded to chime in with saying to Keiko.
As when Keiko looked over in my direction, she was then greeted by the same dirty blonde haired female from before. Only she now once again had her dark pink colored Claymore sword in hand. Which she currently had its blade pressed quite firmly against my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. And her Claymore looked to be completely undamaged now.
And this, came as a shock to her...
"Well then it seems that I will have to be a little more thorough this time with destroying her sword!" Keiko now proceeded to say. Which, with her iron sand and electricity composed sword still in hand. She then proceeded to attempt to leap forward, in order to make completely sure this time, that her sword didn't have a chance to come back together again.
But unfortunately...
"I wouldn't try that tactic of yours if I were you little miss sparky," the very annoying sounding voice of Quiche now proceeded to speak up with. As he then simply wound up leaping in front of Keiko, with both of his Sai drawn, and had used them, to block her advance on the girl with the dark pink colored Claymore.
"I don't have time for this, out of my way you pervert!" Keiko now proceeded to say, as after she had proceeded to lightly scoff with a tad bit of frustration. She then proceeded to take a pretty hefty swing at Quiche, with her iron sand and electricity composed sword.
But strangely...
"You don't mind if I 'cut in' on this now, do you?" The unmistakable voice of Kenpachi Zaraki now chimed in with saying.
And, now knowing full well that she needed to get out of the way. Keiko then, now slightly fearing for her own safety at the moment, proceeded to leap to the side, and then action roll out of the way. And this was just as Kenpachi's Zanpakuto, had proceeded to slam against Quiche's Sai with a great amount of force. Which caused a sort of reverberating metal crashing noise.
But more importantly, the force of his swing wound up generating so much force, that it wound up knocking both of the Sai out of Quiche's hands.
And as a sort of follow up...
"Now then, do you have any last words before I proceed to carve you up like a Turkey?" Kenpachi proceeded to say to Quiche, as he held the tip of his Zanpakuto quite close to Quiche's throat.
And, this was then followed, by Quiche then proceeding to smirk. And at first I didn't know why. But, with the sound of an inhuman type roar, now proceeding to reverberate throughout the area that we were all in. I then knew exactly why.
And upon the appearance, of a quite inhuman looking creature. I then realized something...
"Yep, that is clearly a Chimera Anima....Which for those of you viewers who don't know what that is...it is a sort of creature, that was used quite a bit by the Cyniclons in the Tokyo Mew Mew anime....In fact, it is actually the main go to creature of the week so too speak, that they used during each and every episode...And just so you know viewers... things in this fight, aren't about to get any easier, anytime soon..." I proceeded to think to myself. Which as usual, while I had been having this thought, and also had my attention slightly diverted to the dirty blonde haired girl with the dark pink Claymore sword. Since I still had her blade pressed quite firmly against my Saint Sword Of Bluebell. I had briefly turned both my eyesight, as well as my attention, briefly and slightly to the left of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.
"And that viewers, is going to wind up becoming quite the understatement...Oh right, sorry...Keiko here viewers...*Keiko proceeds to say this while traditionally bowing to the viewers as usual. To which she then proceeds to bring her attention and eyesight back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers. She also now proceeds to clear her throat, as she then proceed to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers...this now marks the end of this particular chapter...But don't worry yourselves viewers...as we will be getting right back into the action in the next chapter...So then viewers...with that still very much fresh on all of your minds...I will see you lot in the next chapter...okay?...*Keiko proceeds to say this, while smiling with both of her eyes closed, and her head, tilted to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
"Thank you for that Keiko...Zachary here by the way again viewers...Now then, as Keiko herself just said...We will both look forward to seeing you all in the next chapter...okay?"
"Indeed Zachary, and thank you for that...So viewers...see you all in the next chapter...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed*"
