Bleach: The Annihilation of Everything.

To Margaret, all was as right as it could be at the moment. In the living world of Karakura town, Margaret was living her modest, humble dream of running a flower shop. Not a large business, but enough to get by and relatively quiet. As she thanked the latest customer for her purchase, Margaret looked outside for a moment... and frowned.

A Menos was near the town. She supposed that something about the town seemed to draw larger hollows here - and due to her predatory nature, she knew a bit of what that was. There were plenty of people with strong souls in this city, making it a prime hunting spot for Hollows. Hollows like the one she used to be before she finally regained her identity as an Arrancar.

However, she didn't want to concern herself with that. Hollows that showed up will get defeated by any of those detestable shinigami here. If they left one too long, then perhaps Margaret would be inclined to, ah, put them out of their misery.

"...Oi oi oi oi oi!" Kieran looked out the window and saw Jabberwock on a rampage along with the other monsters earlier, "Alice isn't helping at all! More or less, she's made it worse!"

Mami looked out the window and frowned. "Hmm... well, I worried that it would come to this." she sighed. "Those two can be quite the handful sometimes. I do my best to take care of them, but I do suppose they need a parental presence." she suggested to Kieran.

"A parental presence? You mean someone who would be like a mother to them?" Kieran asked.

"Yes." Mami nodded. "I can't always be there for them either, and they dohave a... strange upbringing."

Kieran sighed. "Alright. I'll think on it. Meanwhile, can you get Alice and Caster back here?" Mami nodded and took out her soul gem. Transforming into her magical girl form, she leaped out from the apartment balcony.

Alice and Caster both saw Ouja point his venosaber at them. "Alice," Alice asked her Caster, "Why is he so mad? We were only just playing..."

"Don't worry Alice!" Caster said with a happy expression as she stood between Ouja and Alice, "Alice will protect Alice!"

Caster may have low combat parameters... but she was still a servant. She was still perfectly capable of taking down a normal human with ease. "Onii-chan," she smiled at Ouja, "Do you want to play? Or do you want to have tea? Alice will be happy with either!"

Master Of The Puppets

Alice and Caster were far from angry as Ouja were. In fact, they were kind of... excited? Instead of a deadly battle between two really real and dangerous monsters Alice and Caster were cheering as if they were kids at a live sentai show in Japan.

"Jabberwock~!" Caster called out as if she was a 5 year old boy yelling a kamen rider to do the rider kick, "Do that! 'Alice Eater'!"

Jabberwock reared back and let out a resounding roar as a malevolent aura flared around him, increasing it's strength. And with that, Jabberwock launched it's fist at Genocider.

Master Of The Puppets

Femme saw Ouja combine his mirror monsters into genocider, the chimeric mirror monster, and knew that now was definitely the time for retreat. Grabbing onto Blancwing, she allowed herself to be raised into the air.

Next time, he would be hers.

"I'm scared." Alice whimpered, seeing the monster that was Genocider and hugging Caster for comfort.

"Don't worry!" Caster said to Alice. "So long as he doesn't have that, Jabberwock is completely invincible."

"Hm... yeah, you're right!" Alice cheered up. "As long as they don't have the sword that doesnt exist, Jabberwock can win!"

At that time, Jabberwock turned it's head around for a bit, trying to figure out where Evildiver and Metalgras had gone before seeing the combination that was Genocider. Roaring once more, it lumbered towards Genocider.

Toku for Tokusatsu. It's a term for most Japanese children live action fighting shows like power rangers, kamen rider and ultraman.

Master Of The Puppets

Femme struggled to get up, knowing perfectly well what Ouja was about to do. She knew that she only had one option, and that was to use her trump card. However, her hands were on her advent deck and was about to draw a card when something interrupted their battle.

The Jabberwock, the "child" that Alice and Caster had told Kieran wanted to play lumbered towards the area, it's large yellow eyes trained on Metalgas, Evildiver, Venosnaker and Blancwing - whichever monster around them that looked meanacing. The Jabberwock roared as it moved to "end" the battle that Kieran was worried would damage the city too much - after all, a battle can't go on if all of it's participants were dead.

On a nearby rooftop, Alice and Caster watched with large smiles on their faces.

"Ahaha, this is fun!" Caster clasped her hands in joy. "Jabberwock is having lots of fun too!"

"But are you sure this is okay?" Alice asked with more curiosity than worry. "If we break something, then big sister Mami and big brother Kieran will get mad at us."

"Don't worry Alice." Caster promised her, their hands clasping together. "My friend is really well behaved!"

Master Of The Puppets

Femme was surprised by Evildiver, although in all truth she really shouldn't have. Being tossed back by Evildiver, she flew in the air for a moment before landing on the ground, slowly getting up and fighting off the pain.

"Oh god, strange things are flying in the sky." Kieran groaned as he looked out the window of his apartment and watched Evildiver and Blancwing, as well as Metalgras and Venosnaker as well as a bunch of other puppets. "Those are definitely from someone's puppets."

"Hmm... whatever shall we do?" Mami asked, watching outside along with Kieran. "If we leave them be..."

"I think we should someone to help." Kieran mused. "I really don't want to get involved, but..."

"Oh! Oh!" Alice raised her hands. "What about me and caster?"

Kieran turned to the living room table. "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Caster nodded with a large smile. "And besides, that child wants to play too!"

Master Of The Puppets

Femme had done exactly as Ouja had predicted, making the mistake of thinking the same work would work twice. Teleporting behind Ouja, she prepared to strike at him again, unaware that Evildiver was moving to attack her.

Blancwing hovered around the battlefield, unable to aid against the other two mirror monsters due to the bamboo forest.

Master Of The Puppets

Femme frowned as she watched him call all three of his mirror monsters. She knew that if he combined them into Genocider, then she wouldn't be able to win in a final vent clash. Normally. However, she still had tricks up her sleeve.

"If you want to see death so much, then start with your own!" she snarled back as she moved to meet Ouja with her Blanc Visor, still ready to use teleportation at a moment's notice to her advantage.

Master Of The Puppets

Femme could have done her next move the moment Ouja began charging at him, but she waited for maximum effect. As Ouja got close to her and swung his sword she activated the secondary effect of her Guard vent, an effect unique to Femme's shield - short range teleportation. Ouja's swing collided with nothing - not even a block - as Femme teleported right behind him before following up with a stroke of her own with her rapier.
