At 6:30 on the dot, the airship theme from FFXI started playing, indicating that I should get up to face the day. Seeing my roommate was sleeping (or at least she was pretending to), I grabbed some toiletries that had been purchased in the school store before going into the bathroom to take a shower. I noticed that no one was in there when I knocked so I proceeded to go in, locking the door behind me. Then after going to the bathroom, remembering to wipe from front to back, I went and took a shower.

I must have been in there for a while, enjoying the hot water on my skin when I heard Jade say “Hey Onee-san (big sis), are you going to be getting out soon? I got to go to the bathroom.” After turning off the water, I said “yea I’m just about out. Give me two minutes. I quickly brushed my teeth, got on my bathrobe, and unlocked the door to hear Jade say “Thanks.”

Upon going back into my dorm room, I saw that Ayla was just waking up to the song ‘Kazham’ playing from my IPod touch I said “Good Morning, Ayla. If you are looking to use the bathroom, Jade’s in there already. Was this selection of music nice for waking up to?” I said having set the IPod touch on random shuffle through the songs on my iPod touch. “Not as nice as waking up to the Brass Monkeys. Knowing Billie, she’s already in line for the bathroom so I got to wait.” Ayla said.

I decided to put on a blue blouse and a blue shirt that had been purchased the day before at Cecilia’s. I threw my nightie and used underwear into my hamper and decided to wait on the others before heading to breakfast. I also put back on my broach, which I had put on the nightstand prior to going to sleep. After Ayla got out of the shower, the clock said it was 7:15.

“Why did you wait for me to get out of the shower before heading off to breakfast?” Ayla asked me. I replied “for a few reasons really. One is that I don’t know what hours the Crystal Hall serves breakfast and two is I didn’t want to get there behind the rest of the team.” “Well since its summer, breakfast is served from 7-9 in the morning. Everyone should be heading there now.” Ayla said. With that I grabbed my purse and said “I guess I’ll see everyone else over there”

I was told about the flags at I walked down to the cottage doors with Ayla and I saw the intro packet in my mailbox along with a note that I was to report to Schulscher 105 for powers testing at 8 AM for powers testing. Upon reading that, I said to Ayla “I got to put this intro packet in my room to be read later. I need to get something into my body for energy so I can survive powers testing.” And coming back down from the room the two of us headed off to the Crystal Hall to eat.

The Crystal Hall was much like my old college’s cafeteria was. So I grabbed a plate and got in line. After taking a brief look at what they had, I picked up one Belgian waffle, a couple pieces of bacon, and a piece of sausage, thinking that this would be enough, I headed down to the end of the line where I handed over my temporary student ID that I got from security the night before so I could eat. I also grabbed a bottle of OJ before looking for everyone else. I saw them in a corner with Jade talking about Hello Kitty. Knowing this to be a fake, I walk inside the barrier and the conversation instantly changed.

“So can you give me a hand with understand this math stuff, Fey?” I heard Billie say before everyone turned to me. “How did you find our table?” Nikki asked me. “I heard Jade talking about Hello Kitty so I figured that this must be your table.” Ayla said “She has power testing in about a half-hour.” At that everyone groaned because powers testing takes so long and is pretty boring.

“That’s not the worst of it. There was also a statement about taking placement tests for general high school courses and for French.” I said adding in the information Ayla had overlooked. “Good luck!” I heard from everyone.” I looked at my watch and saw that I had about 20 minutes before I had to go and since I had already eaten I asked everyone “So what classes are each of you attending today?”

Nikki was the first to speak up “I got intro to magic and powers theory.” Billie added “I got math and powers theory.” Ayla said “I got accounting 3&4 and powers theory.” Jade said “I got powers theory and English. Jinn has math and history.” Hank said “I have the same schedule as Billie.”

“So let me guess: the first class is before lunch and has short breaks in it for people to unwind, go to the bathroom, etc.?” I said to the nod of everyone. “Chances are that I will have additional powers testing done by my sponsor directly after my standard powers testing. Based on who they are, I doubt any information about it will end up on a MID.” “Sounds like you got a long day ahead of you. Leave your tray here- I’ll take care of it.” Jade said. With that said I said “I’ll see you all later” before heading off for powers testing.

After showing up I said to the guy who was at the desk “I am here for my power testing.” I said before handing over the notice saying that. The guy said “Ok you’ll be heading into the room behind me and be given more information from Mr. Davison, one of our power testers.” Upon heading into the back I meet up with Mr. Davidson and he said “Ah, Ms. Smith. Good to see you. This part of your power testing isn’t really a testing of your powers. It is more of a placement test and I am to be here monitoring you until you finish, timing you.”

“Good. Let’s begin.” I said to which he added “The test will not take longer than an hour. Sit at computer five please.” So I sat down and was presented with questions about math, English, and science, which I answered to the best of my ability. The calculus questions it presented me with I was only able to adequately answer half of them because I knew how to solve transcendental equations, not trigonometric calculus equations.

After about fifty minutes Mr. Davidson said “I’m surprised you finished early. Please wait while the computer analyses your answers.” After the computer spit out the answers Mr. Davidson whistled before saying “Well looks like you place into college level science and English which I am going to guess are going to be optional for you to take based on your answers. However, your math score while good for a freshman would place you into calculus. While is looks like it may cover knowledge you already know, you lack knowledge about how to do trigonometric calculus functions. Now we move onto the real powers testing. Follow me.”

I followed him into an elevator that went down for what seemed like ages but after checking my watch it was only ten minutes. He gestured to the women’s locker room saying “Get into the suit in there. My colleague and I will be monitoring your powers test here.” Since I was concerned about the possibility of theft I asked him “No one else is getting their powers tested in this lab are they?” “If you are concerned about theft of personal items, don’t worry. No one will steal them.”

With that I went inside the locker room and found the suit. After I went to the bathroom I took everything off and got inside it. I didn’t like the fact that it was skintight and left little to the imagination. I walked out the other door to hear a female voice say “Hello, Ms. Smith. I’m Mrs. Watkins and and Mr. Davidson and I will be doing your power testing today. Normally we’d start off with the Xavier test but Mr. Davidson informs me you already had that done. Have you decided on a codename yet?”

At that statement I thought carefully. There was no way on earth I was going to be using a name from Fullmetal Alchemist or the name of one of my Zanpakto. Names that came to my mind right away didn’t cover all of my powers. So I decided on a name I had on a short mental list. “Yes I’ve decided on my codename. Is DIVA taken?” I said

“No it is not.” Mrs. Watkins said. “You know you have until the end of the spring semester to change it, DIVA. Anyway we’ll begin by running through the gamut. The exemplar testing can wait until later. We’ll start with the Gadgteer/devisor testing. Since reports filed at security mention magic usage, you’ll be heading down to those labs after the exemplar testing after a short break for lunch and the restroom.”

After that, I was led into lab A. I had decided upon what I was going to be making-a PFG with a different kind of power supply than ones I figured were on the market today. I was then given a bunch of items and told to try to make something in under an hour. Seeing that what I was given wasn’t adequate for my purposes, I decided to use alchemy to make the items I needed for working.

I worked furiously on it for about twenty minutes and had it working. However, the power supply wasn’t adequate because I didn’t have my broach and the atmospheric pressure in the room had dropped a lot. I was happy that it would work but I didn’t know how much force it would be able to absorb or for how long.

I was tinkering with it, trying to maximize the usage time when Mrs. Watkins came in and said “Time’s up. It looks like you are some kind of manifestor because of the fact that you have items we didn’t give you.” I replied saying “I didn’t manifest anything. I merely used Alchemy and the law of equal exchange to make some things I didn’t have but needed.”

She was dumbfounded saying “so THAT is why the pressure in here dropped by 25%. You converted oxygen atoms into what you needed. I suggest you don’t do that for heavy elements because you’d pass out. That means you are definite devisor. What have you made in the time given?” I told her “I made a PFG that I am pretty sure it will work but the power supply I doubt is adequate. I estimate it may turn on for about 30 seconds tops.” “Well turn it on and let’s see what happens.” Mrs. Watkins said.

Turning it on, the PFG emitted a protection field for 15 seconds before exploding. After that, Mr. Davidson came on saying “I think we can pin her as a DIV/GDT 3.” Mrs. Watkins said “What about the manifesting? I would peg that as MAN-4/s.” Mr. Davidson cut in “All right whatever you say Onto the Exemplar testing then. Now, DIVA would you please head into lab C for this segment?”

And so I headed over there while preforming some basic tests. They had me lifting weights and I topped out at about 200 pounds, 70 pounds heavier than I weighed. I had lost 2 inches to come out to 5ft 8 in and they had me running on a treadmill. My top speed was about 25 MPH, that of the fastest baseline. They had discovered that I couldn’t walk up more than a 50 degree slope and I was waiting on the one part they never spoke about but I had read online-the danger sense test.

As I was walking at a zero degree slope, trying to figure out how long I could go for I heard Sodenoshidayuki say in my mind “There is someone behind you with a knife. Are you going to do something about it?” My mental reply was brief but swift. “I am going to do nothing. It is best to keep some things hidden even during a powers test.” After this brief exchange I felt a pain and said “OW!”

“Sorry about that.” Mrs. Watkins said before explaining “We had to do a test to see if you have a ‘danger sense’ or if you were a precog and that was the only way to do it.”

They then tested my agility. Not wanting to fudge the test, I stuck to what I had and didn’t change to my thief because not only did I not know if that would fudge the test, I didn’t want to reveal more than I needed to. That choice resulted in me getting hit 30% of the time. I was bruised but knowledge about how to do self-healing specially Alkahestry (healing alchemy) came to the front of my mind, allowing me to come out with bruises rapidly healing.

Mr. Davidson was surprised that after he performed the regen test, it healed back right up in under twenty seconds. “I want to put DIVA down as a regen-3.”

Mrs. Watkins chided him saying “I highly doubt she’s a regen. It’s probably related to a form of alchemy she did on herself. She used it during the DIV test you know.” Deciding it was useless to argue, he said “All right I’ll put her down as a faux-regen 3 as well as an EX-3 on top of the DIV/GDT 3 and MAN 4/s.” I conveniently left out the fact that before my burnout, I could eat as much as I want and not gain an ounce. I chalk that up to genes from my dad’s side of the family.

“Now after we eat you and Mrs. Watkins are going to the WIZ labs for testing.” Mr. Davidson said. “Great. I’m starving. What time is it?” I said. “It’s 12:30 PM. Everyone else is eating in the Crystal Hall but we got sandwiches down here.” Mrs. Watkins said. So I walked over and had enough sandwiches that I felt full. I asked about going to the bathroom with the suit on and was told by her “Sorry. You have to get out of the suit to go to the bathroom. Luckily you’ll get a different suit so you can take a shower and go to the bathroom in the locker room. I’ll see you in lab M in about 30 minutes.

Getting out of that suit, I found that I was very sweaty from all the activity. Tending to my bladder first, I took a shower and then got back into my clothes, grabbed my purse and broach, and headed over to lab M. I found another suit that was identical to the first and got into it.

Exiting the locker room into the lab I heard “Welcome to the WIZ labs, DIVA. I’m Circie and I’ll me the main tester for this portion of the testing. Now would you mind using the provided items to perform some kind of magic?” “I think I can do one better.” I said before thinking “Job Switch: Red Mage/White Mage.”
After this changed my clothes Circie said “Amazing! You must have some kind of Warper or Shifter trait to be able to change your clothes as well.” Mrs. Watkins cut in saying “Let’s have her perform some magic now. DIVA would you please?”

With that I decided to perform some simple buffs on myself. After casting protect V, shell V, Refresh II and Aquaveil in under a minute I hear Circie saying “Yes she’s doing magic. I can sense it. However, it’s not magic most mages use. DIVA, how are you able to do the magic this way?” “I would rather not talk about it. I have other magic I can perform as well.” “Very well, let’s see an example of this other magic.” Mrs. Watkins said.

So again I switched jobs mentally, this time saying “Summoner/Red Mage.” I then proceeded to concentrate on summoning the first Avatar all Summoners in FFXI get when they unlock the job-Carbuncle. With the things I had equipped (and effects I hoped were present in the equipment), I summoned him. “Amazing! She actually summoned an Avatar!” I heard Circie say with surprise. Much to everyone’s surprise but my own Carbuncle proceeded to speak.

“I guess you could call me and my friends ‘avatars’. She has many others but decided to summon me because she can rest with me summoned. With the other summons, she has to maintain her concentration and they will go back where they came from after she runs out of what you call ‘essence’.” “How many others does she have available to summon?” Circie asked in disbelief to which Carbuncle replied “there are 7 others and 6 spirits she can summon. Summoning a spirit can tax her more but allows her to restore some ‘essence’ every so often.”

Circie then proceeded to talk to me saying, “DIVA, can you un-summon him and let’s move to the magic target range.” Mrs. Watkins interjected saying “we have absolutely no readings from the suit so she must have changed out of it. Nevertheless we must find out if she has offensive magic capability.”

At that I mentally said “release” and Carbuncle disappeared. Then although I was a little tired I said mentally “Job Switch: Red Mage/Black Mage” and my clothes changed again. “How many times can you do that?” Circie asked me. I replied “Not that often in rapid succession. I’m kind of mentally exhausted now.” Mrs. Watkins, fearing a burnout was going to come if they pushed on said “Just use one offensive spell on any target, DIVA. Then change back to normal and we’ll call it a day.”

At that I was relieved and decided to use my most powerful offensive spell available, burst II. After a casting time of 30 seconds, one target literally exploded. “Amazing! One second the target was there and the next there was a strong discharge of essence. I want to put her as a combo WIZ/ESP” Mrs. Watkins said to which Circie replied “WIZ/SHI! Not WIZ/ESP.” Back and forth they went for what seemed like ages. By now, I had changed back into the suit which was indicating that I was very exhausted. Based on the sensors but they were still arguing.

After thirty minutes of arguing, they reached a consensus. “We’re going to put you down as a WIZ 3/SHI 1/ ESP 3. We want to do further testing to find out more but it’s getting a bit late and your sponsor has their own powers testing to do. Sadly, we won’t get a look at it. After you exit the locker room, we’ll give you our results to bring to security so you can get your student ID.” I heard Circie say.

After stripping out of the suit I checked the time on my watch. It was almost 3 PM, not yet time for dinner, yet too late for lunch. Figuring that after I got done with business here, it would be 3:30, I resolved to raid my roommate’s stash and see what she had that would give me something to eat. After taking a quick shower and going to the bathroom, I went, grabbed the paperwork and went to security. I waited there for about 30 minutes while the processed the paperwork, asking me to sign my name to some papers.

Using my picture they took yesterday, they added it to my new ID and Officer Davis said “You have a balance of $10,000 on there. The visa you were given is still active but you should stop by the admin to get information to setup your own checking accounts. Meals will not subtract from that balance, as you are on an unlimited meal plan. The school store will accept that payment as well as several businesses in town. However, you cannot buy alcoholic beverages with money on your student account.”

With my new ID as well as my MID in hand, I headed to admin and got the required paperwork. Checking my watch, it was 4PM. I decided to head back to my dorm room to make that spreadsheet for Ayla and possibly get a cat nap. At security I found that my 2nd powers test was to take place at the Heavy Weapons range and that I was to show up at the security building at 6:30 PM to be taken there. I had a hunch that I would be meeting my special instructor there and what they were looking for.

I looked in Ayla’s fridge but found nothing that would satisfy my hunger. I decided to manifest a 6 inch Italian B.M.T from Subway and eat that, putting the wrappers in the garbage can.

Perusing the welcome packet, I noticed that the Crystal Hall opened for dinner at 5 PM and closed 2 hours later. So upon it reaching 5:15, I headed over to the Crystal Hall and picked up some Sloppy Joe’s that they were having, some fries, and a cup of coke before heading over to the table I figured everyone else would be at, based on them being there for Breakfast.

Upon reaching the table, I saw that the others were there with the protection spell in place. Upon sitting down Fey asked “So what were the results of your power testing?” I replied “EX-3, DIV/GDT 3, MAN4/s, faux regen-3, faux AV-1, WIZ3, SHI1, ESP3.” “Dang did they not know how to categorize you?” I heard Chou say

“Actually yes they did not know how. Circie and Mrs. Watkins were arguing about it. Mr. Davidson was arguing that I was a regen when in reality I am not; I just know how to heal my injuries really well. They also said I placed into college level classes for math and science but I have to take calculus.” I said with disgust.

Ayla chimed in saying “Relax. You don’t have to worry. That math course isn’t a requisite to graduate-you just need it if you are going to be doing some stuff involving NASA and orbits and that kind of thing. Did you pick a codename though?” At that I said “Yes. I picked DIVA to be my codename. The testers indicated it wasn’t taken and of all the code-names I had in my head, nothing covers everything I can do so hence the choice. Also, I was pretty exhausted when they did the WIZ testing so that was kind of brief.”

“That’s great.” I heard Hank say. “I had a meeting with my advisor and he suggested that we all team up for Team Tactics next semester. Odd as it may be, apparently Mrs. Hartford wants to see how our powers interact in combat situations.” I butted in saying “Some of us barely know how to defend ourselves! I doubt some of my skills can be replicated in a simulator. They should at least have waited till we took Basic Martial Arts.” Hank proceeded to add “That is exactly what they suggested. We take the two in the same semester. Highly unusual but it was done before.”

After talking for a while and watching both Hank and Billie go back for seconds Nikki handed me something saying “this is so we can communicate without being monitored.” I replied “I am not going to accept a kind of implant, which is what that, is. No offence, Nikki but I’ll try making my own version of it. Maybe not as simple as that but something that won’t be obvious.” I said while creating a Bluetooth-like headset and after mentally turning it on saying in my head:

<DIVA: “testing 1, 2, 3. Testing. Anyone hearing me?”>

<Fey: “I hear you coming in loud and clear.”>

<Chaka: “Lucky you. You have a headset that works on our frequency without a hitch.”>

<Lancer: “Enough chit-chat, ladies. We know that her device works on our frequency. Maybe she can make us more powerful stuff cheaper later on.”>

<DIVA: I have to get going now I got to get to security for my second powers test of the day. I may be too tired to talk to you people later. Due to what I am anticipating the test containing.>

<Tennyo:”And what do you think the test will be.”>

<DIVA: “Now that would be spoiling an anime for you guys as it is tied into that. Regardless I got to go now. I highly doubt this will work while I am outside my body.”>

<everyone: “Good luck with your powers test DIVA!”>

With that said and checking my watch, I saw that it was 6 PM. Wanting to change into something casual as well as take my Soul Pass with me along with stopping by the campus store to get a large safe I said to Hank.

<DIVA: “Hank, could you walk with me back to Poe and to security? I want to pick up a large safe and bring it back to Poe but I doubt I can lift it on my own.”>

<Lancer: “Of course, DIVA I’ll go with you. Although Phase might be the better bet”>

~DIVA: “I don’t want the floor giving way due to her weight when heavy though.”~

So we stopped by the campus store to get the safe. I decided upon one that had a dual keypad/combo lock. Not bothering to look at the $2,000 price tag, we headed off to Poe right away.

<Lancer: “Girls sure know how to shop. DIVA just bought a $2,000 safe.”>

<Fey: “What does she need with a $2,000 safe?”>

<Phase: “The security of knowing our solution to the problem of Duke Nukem is secure till the IP can be restored to its proper owners.”>

<Fey, Chaka, Tennyo: “Oh. That’ll be a relief. Now can you do something about peeper and greasy?”>

<DIVA: “Is having a water gun loaded with water and saying it’s from etonnichuaan violating any school rules if I am bluffing?”>

<Fey: “Is that the spring Ranma was sent into and as a result he turns into a girl when he gets splashed with cold water?”>

<DIVA: “Yes, that’s the spring.”>

<Generator: “Well, as long as it’s not actually CURSED water and you are actually just bluffing, you should be fine. The bluff may keep them away. A simple water gun wouldn’t have a need to be registered with Security provided it looks like a water gun.”>

<Lancer: “Until it is called, however long down the road that is.”>;

<DIVA: “We’ll cross that bridge when it comes. Anyway Lancer and I are in the Kimba Kwarters and have put the safe down. I am off to security and Lancer is going to meet up with you guys after I am safely there.”>

After I got to security, I was escorted into a car by Samantha Everheart. After we drove for about 5 minutes she stopped the car saying “I see the representive from your sponsor over there waiting for us. I’ll stop the car here and they’ll call us when you’re done with the test.” Getting out I was able to see it was Renji waving at us. I didn’t proceed to ask what the test was going to be until after she left and we were walking towards the range.

“So what kind of test am I being subjected to tonight by the Head Captain?” I said to Renji. His reply was rather complex. “Since he didn’t know how much you knew about the sword, he has gather captain Kuchki, Soi Fon, Captain Unohana, and himself along with Kiskue.” Whispering to me he said “I don’t know what you did to convene a Captain’s exam but it must have been worth the effort”

After talking like this for 5 minutes and getting his permission to use his zanpakto (and Bankai) if I could, we reached the field.

Right away the Head Captain started talking saying “Danielle, you are here because you possess and have demonstrated the ability to use a Bankai. That is the purpose of this examination. Your opponent is Kiskue Urahara. Your task is to demonstrate what you can do in conjunction with what lt. Abari reported in the forest on the day you entered burn-out. Captain Kuchki has given me his objections to subjugating you to this matter of test but your power needs to be measured! Let the test begin.”

At that statement I pulled the Soul Pass out of my purse and pushed it against my body. “I see you didn’t waste any time, Danielle Kuchki.” I heard the voice of Kiskue say. “Now let’s see what you can really do.

“She has two swords, Head Captain?” Captain Unohana said to which she was told “It is unusual for a Soul Reaper to have two zanpakto. However, she is even more unique. She has the ability to summon any zanpakto that she knows the release command for, including my own. However, some swords may be harder to control than others.”

“Bankai!” I said and immediately my kimono change to be similar to that of Ichigo’s when he is in a bankai state. “Getsuga Tensho!” I said, letting the attack reach Kiskue. However, Kiskue was able to block it with his Blood Mist Shield, a special ability of his zanpakto, Benehime. “Is that the best you got?” Kiskue said before adding “Could you tell us the name of your bankai perchance?”

“Tensa Zangetsu.” Was all I said. Kiskue also asked me “what abilities does it give you as a result of going Bankai?” I replied “Well Tensa Zangetsu gives me increased speed and strength. But since I do not know the flash-step, the most basic of abilities for a Soul Reaper, speed is pretty much moot.” “Is it moot enough to avoid THIS? Hado #33 Sokatsui!” he said launching a kido as me. I narrowly dodged it before he proceeded to shoot off another and another.

I was able to avoid about 9 of them before I was hit by his attack. “Get up. A soul Reaper doesn’t hold anything back in battle.” “Are you sure you want me to use it in front of the Head Captain and the other captains?” I replied, knowing full well what he wanted out of me. He wanted to see how strong I really was and if I had all of Ichigo’s powers. “Head Captain, I apologize if what I am about to do will disturb you in any way. I have been backed into a corner and have no choice. Know that I will be in full control the whole time however.”

“Very well. We came out here to see how much of Ichigo’s powers you had obtained and therefore you may proceed. We knew full well about Ichigo’s hollow mask.” The Head Captain said.

“All right then, Kiskue. Prepare for a world of hurt!” I said as I summoned the mask. Deciding to keep this as brief as possible, I opened up with another Getsuga Tensho, this one a whole lot more powerful than the one I initially let out. I managed to get in close enough, dodging the kido Kiskue was throwing at me that he actually had to use his sword to block me. We exchanged blows, me landing a couple on him and him landing two or three on me.

It was a surprise when thirty seconds later my mask came off and I came out of Bankai. Panting severely I awaited the verdict from the captains.

“We have decided on the Soul Reaper rating we are going to give you. Captain Kuchki has talked me into lowering you from being the equal to a captain to that of a lt. if only because of your lack of knowledge about the skills of a Soul Reaper and the way you reacted in that fight. This was a 3-1 decision with Captain Kuchki being the dissenting voice in making you the equal to a captain.” I heard the head captain say.

“Well that was a fight I really put my full game on for.” I heard Kiskue say. “Tessai and I along with the other captains are going to be teaching you Soul Reaper skills 3 nights a week once the Fall semester starts up. You had the upper hand in raw strength but lack the speed. That is why you lost. In that way you are a little like Kenpachi Zaraki.”

“Enough.” I heard the Head Captain say and right away Unohana came down to heal my injuries first and the Kiskue’s. After that was done, Renji called security to tell them to send a vehicle out to pick me up.

“That was an interesting Captain’s exam.” Renji said to me while walking back. “I never knew that Ichigo had so much power. It seemed like he was keeping it hidden for a reason.” “There was a very good reason for keeping it hidden-it almost consumed him” I said to Renji’s astonishment. “I had to fight myself twice during burnout-once for control over Zangetsu and once for control over the combo of the hollow mask and my body.”

“Was it worth pulling a Yurameshi in the forest like you did?” Renji proceeded to ask me. I stated quite simply “Oh it’s only worth it under 2 conditions: one is that you want to kill something outright.” “And what about the other condition?” Renji asked. “The other condition is when you simply want to die. For me I met both conditions-I wanted to kill Grimjow but I also wanted to die as a woman. I think I see the security car now.” I said

Getting into it and seeing Samantha Everheart again driving I asked her “How long were you listening in on our conversation?” Her reply was blunt “Long enough to hear the part about pulling a Yurameshi. Why would you want to throw your life away?”

I stated quite factly “I wanted to throw my life away because I was praying for death. I figured that if I died killing Grimjow, I would at least gain some form of peace. I HATED being a guy. Where I am from there are no magic springs, no devisors, and no real-life superheroes. The world where I come from consists of 6 billion baseline people. Magic wishes do not come true there no matter how hard you wish for them.” I said with tears forming in my eyes.

Trying to console me, she said “At least your body and soul match up now. Also, you are lucky that although security knows we are coming back, they can’t hear our conversation. I suggest you see a therapist right away.” At that statement I said “Louis already made an appointment with me for tomorrow at 3 PM in his office.” Samantha added “Louis is a good therapist. What you tell him in a therapy session, no one else in the world will ever find out.”

“Good.” I said as we approached the security office. Accepting the offer for her to drop me off in front of Poe I walked inside and heard everyone asking me

<Fey: “So how did your power testing with your sponsor go?”>

<Chaka: “Were you subjected to the torture of one of those suits with the sensors during the test?>

<DIVA: “Oh it went as I expected it to turn out. The outcome wasn’t what I expected, however. Also, I wasn’t subjected to one of those stupid suits that leave little to the imagination. I am pretty tired though. I think I am going to be heading right to bed.”>

<Phase: “But it’s only 9 PM. Oh by the way, Mrs. Hartford wants you in her office at 1 PM tomorrow. I expect that it has to deal with how you came to the campus.”>

<Fey: “I would almost assure you it’s to expel two stupid devisors who brought DIVA here. That is what is going to happen, isn’t it DIVA.”>

<DIVA: “Part of me wants to kill them for the slaughter of 500 innocent people. Part of me wants to thank them for making the wish I have held most dear come true. What do I do when I am the one handing out the punishment?”>

<Phase: “If what you say is true, then they unwittingly committed genocide as a result of their experiment and you were pulled along for the ride. If that weren’t the case, then you wouldn’t be here in Poe right now.”>

<DIVA: “Thanks for the reminder of what they did, Phase. I’ll keep that in mind when I decide their punishment. I may even tell them thank you. However, I think I’ll make them work for me. Their lab becomes my own. That mess they created still needs sealing on this side and for that I need a Time Lord. I have an idea of how to close-and-keep operating it but I need a Time Lord to develop the part of the program corresponding to their device.”>

<Phase: “Why wouldn’t a regular devisor do? Surely the two who made the gate can fix the problem themselves.”>

<DIVA: “I was told it was a universe rip. My plan is to combine a Stargate and their device. For that I’m going to need a lot of power, a dialing program that can handle two devices, and their lab. The longer the rip sits unchecked, the worse things will get. Simply put, having even a high-level devisor to do the work would result in even more damage because of lost time due to having to code the fix.”>

<Fey: “Oh man you know how to bring problems to campus. I bet Mrs. Hartford is steaming at those words!”>

<DIVA: “She doesn’t know. What she does not know about will not kill her or me. If she knows a fix is in place or is in the works when she is made aware, she will probably be lenient on everyone concerned. I even have Q in my corner.”>

<Generator: “Seems like you got a lot riding on fixing this rip. Anyway you have been sounding more and more tired so just go to bed and get some rest. From how you sounded, the 2nd powers test was very draining, energy wise.”>

<DIVA: “Thanks, guys. I’ll see all of you at breakfast tomorrow even if I am a little late”>

The entire conversation took place while I was walking up the stairs to my dorm room. Ayla graciously opened it for me. Not having the energy to do anything else, I flopped onto my bed and went right to sleep. Ayla graciously covered me with my blankets.

Continued in DIVA in wonderland.
Note: here is the end of Danielle’s first couple days at campus. I have said before and I will say it again: I really need an editor and appreciate any and all comments. Based on what I have said here, you can guess who is showing up next to help work on the problem. If anyone sees any parallels between this and a certain move in Bleach that Ichigo uses, she didn’t use it. I REALLY hope I haven’t confused anyone too much with the quick releases. I might have the next part written after the weekend depending on how it goes writing wise. As for her REAL MID here it is
Name: Danielle Martha Dorothy Smith
Code-name: DIVA
Powers:
EX-3
ESP-4
MAN 7/s (with broach). Man 4/s (without broach)

As for the Soul Society rankings they go from 0-4 (well if you count people like Danielle, 0-5)
0: normal, human being. Not a soul Reaper
1: Basic Soul Reaper. Not currently in the top 10 of a squad
2: basic, seated Soul Reaper. May or may not know the shikai release for their zanpakto.
3: 2nd-seat or lt. position. Can also be a seated officer that knows how to do Bankai.
4: Captain of a squad
5: Vizord (aka Soul Reaper that has defeated their inner Hollow and gained the ability to use its mask. Danielle technically meets this description.)
