Plot[]
Bleach: Call of the Fullbringer[]
During the fighting in the Seireitei, as Fiona Archer stretches out her spiritual senses to report on the situation to Arthur Callaghan. Among those reports, she reveals that Maeve has gone to assist Eva Kelly in her fight with Junichi Kaneko, Captain of the Third Division.[1] Maeve is later seen with the rest of her group, having escaped their respective battles to meet at the Senkaimon courtyard. After Ewan Dineen opens the spiritual gateway with his Fullbring, Pride in Every Thread, the duo Masato Fujiwara and Kumiko Fujimoto express apprehension about having to run from the Kōtotsu only for Maeve to wordlessly pick them up by their collars and carry them off towards the Dangai. The amassed Fullbringers use their power to move swiftly, creating a large expression of Bringer Light as they leave Soul Society.[2] In the Human World, as the gathered Fullbringers talk about their successful escape, Maeve expresses with approval that their training had paid off.[3] Sometime following these events, the young Fullbringer duo would seek out Xodus out at its headquarters, the Shiro Apartment Complex, tucked away in the suburbs of Karakura Town's Minamikawase district. As they shuffle through the apartments, they are ushered to a room where Arthur is resting and Maeve is casually playing away at a solo game of snooker. With a single glance Arthur is able to discern the problem with Masato's Fullbring, asking Maeve is she wants to handle "this one". Looking up from the table, Maeve looks over the pair for a moment before agreeing. Throwing her pool cue onto the table, she walks toward the pair, pushing them back into the hallway. She remarks that its best if they do "this" in the garden, entering a nearby elevator soon followed by the two Fullbringers. In the garden outside the apartment block, Maeve creates distance between herself and Masato and Kumiko, explaining that before they start there are a few things she needs to find out. The first of which is the Fullbring each of them has, which she remarks upon as she draws a medal from her pocket that transforms into One Shot And Expire. Complying with her request, Masato and Kumiko activate their Fullbrings, Pride of the Gentle Way and Beads of the Rosary respectively. Wasting no time, Maeve tells them to fight, immediately attacking the pair as her Fullbring projects a series of arrows, firing upon them. Caught off guard, the pair are immediately pressed on the defensive, using their powers to flee from the storm of projectiles. Masato flees to the left, and Kumiko into the air, only for both to be surprised by the homing properties Maeve's arrows possess. Masato tries to defend against the attack, generating a barrier of black Reiatsu that intercepts the arrows, though the resulting impact leaves him winded and burned, knocking him out of the air. Kumiko continuously dodges the arrows, trying to discern how precise they are. Believing their homing capability to be fairly rudimentary, she lures them to a safe distance before unleashing an attack from her Fullbring, only for the arrows to dodge her strike in their pursuit of her. Forced to repeat her trick a number of times, she eventually manages to destroy the projectiles. Moving to counterattack, Kumiko flies towards Maeve, and seeing his teammate, Masato does the same, attempting to trap Maeve in a pincer attack. With seeming disinterest, Maeve inwardly remarks that the pair are durable enough, and with lacking concern, simply looses another volley of shots from her position. As the arrows take flight, the same way as they had before, they suddenly change targets, creating a chaotic barrage and leaving the two Fullbringers unable to discern which is headed for whom. In preparation, Maeve modifies the rings on her Fullbring. Again the Fullbringers are halted by the onslaught of arrows. Kumiko again takes to destroying them, only for one of them to get too close, its explosion sending her flying backwards. Masato, likewise, tries to block them once more, intent on forming a shield in front of himself, but instead he grabs onto another force entirely and the arrows in front of him explode limply, seeming to hit an invisible wall. He lunges at Maeve, attempting to pull on her Reiatsu. Sensing the spiritual invasion, Maeve reacts immediately, converting One Shot And Expire into Take the Spear. She notes that her body seems to have slowed down, but nonetheless pulls on the soul of the air to pull herself forward, intercepting Masato with a powerful strike to the stomach from the butt of her spear. With the boy momentarily out of the fight, Maeve focuses on Kumiko, intercepting an attack from Beads of the Rosary by thrusting her spear, whereby an invisible force knocks out her opponent's projectile. In an instant, Maeve closes the distance between herself and Kumiko, attempting to knock her out with a singular precise thrust to the forehead. A close-range fighter, Kumiko rightly predicts the attack, and attempts to dodge, only to find herself stricken regardless. Audibly confused, Kumiko and Masato are both caught unawares as the garden suddenly finds itself engulfed by swarming tendrils of hair. Ewan Dineen emerges, as the hairs strike both Fullbringers, attacking their nerves and leaving them paralysed. While he mocks the situation, Maeve silently picks them up, carrying each of the two under her arms. Failing to get a rise out of her, Ewan sighs as they return to the apartment.[4] |

One Shot and Expire (ワン・ショット・アンドウ・エクスパイア, Wan Shotto Andō Ekusupaia) is an Olympic gold medal that Asuga shares an incredibly deep affinity with. Carved of gold, emblazoned with the iconography of the colosseum and a woman in roman-style dress, holding a crap of what in one hand and a crown of leaves in the other, held above her head. It is further etched with the characters "XXIX Olympiad" and "Beijing 2008" with the Olympic rings set in between them. Her trials, her excitement, her fear, everything Asuga endured on her journey to stand as an Olympic medalist has been ingrained into this medal and as such, the welling of emotion and memory have created a very powerful Fullbring. When activated, the medallion converts into light, shrinking in Asuga's palm before it reconstitutes itself, becoming a handle in her hand that is attached to a large bow-like apparatus. The platform is a clear white, appearing as a T-shaped cross, aligned horizontally with Asuga's arm. The tail of the platform stretches out a ways past the length of Asuga's arm and the arms of the bow are lined with two gold rings each with a fifth ring in the centre of the apparatus. Each of these rings serves to hold a set of large sharp spikes, with those on the arms left to partially hang in the air while the center rests along the length of the body. Each spike has a cylindrical intent just before the shaft turns into a point and a silver tube rests just below that.
