Author Notes: Kazui has now moved on to the main Alphabet of the Sternritters.
As you probably read, Kazui's Zanpakuto has nine odd objects on each of its tails- a Grim Reaper wielding a Crescent Moon Scythe with a Man's face (Right Crescent), a Gray Wolf Beast with a Buffalo Skull Head with a Crescent nose horn (Full Moon), a Cheshire Cat like Feline (Right Half Moon), a Winged Anthropomorphic Moose wielding an Arched Bow with a quiver filled with arrows (Left Half Moon), a Scary Rabbit Hand Puppet wielding a Scimitar (Left Crescent), an Owl Girl Magical Witch (Waning Gibbous), an Anthropomorphic Clock Hand "Mustached" Clock (clarifying that it's a Grandfather Clock this chapter) with an Infinity Symbol on its Forehead wielding a hidden Cane Sword (Waning Crescent), a Chinese Themed Princess (Dawning New Moon) and an Androgynous Crossdressing Boy with Glasses (Dusk New Moon). They each have their own powers, personalities as later chapters reveal and themes centered around Moon symbolism.
As a side note, you might be noticing Giselle's a might bit nicer than her canon counterpart- an parallel timeline fanfic, so her personality might not be completely the same. Also to everyone saying Giselle is either male or female- I'm going for the middle. As I mentioned in previous notes, I'm turning Lille's transformation into something more dignified than what we got in the original manga. Also it acts a preemptive spoiler, it reveals who dies in the prequel stories I did.
I've also decided as of 9/30/16 to extend some of the fights to make the Sternritter fights more impactful. And to give more hints that he got a lot from Orihime in terms of personality. Also Lille's fight is extended into the next chapter due to needing a cliffhanger this chapter.
Chapter 12: ß- the Final Letter-Z-Y-X1
(JJBA Adventure- Diamond Is Unbreakable Soundtrack: The Fate Which Still Remains plays in the background)
While Masaki and Mawanari's Spiritual Pressure increased significantly beyond Ichigo's- Giselle's was almost undetectable- because it was that massive that only a few of the people there could detect it, a complete contrast to how weak she initially seemed 10 years ago. Those few being Kenpachi, the Royal Guard and Shunsui. Only, Mayuri was able to keep track due to the special implants in his body to detect any level of Spiritual Power. The others were definitely confused by this change in Spiritual Pressure.
"First, Ichigo's mother, that man and now a Vandenreich Elite- what's going on?!," Rukia said with a tone of alarm.
What's that woman doing here...I thought she died 10 years ago...when she..., Isane thought angrily.
"That's the Stammbaum (Family Tree) at work baby,." said a lively and energetic voice from behind Kiyone and Isane.
"What," Isane said as she looked behind her to see the man behind her.
He was a short, dark-skinned man with thick, black hair that was shaven and dyed green on the sides of his head. He wore a variation of the Soul Reaper uniform- featuring instead a green undergarment, and a shortened hakama that exposed his lower legs. Worn over this, was a white, sleeveless puffer jacket that bore the Royal Guard emblem on its back, as well as the alternating circle and diamond pattern of a captain's white coat along the bottom. His attire was completed by gold-framed sunglasses with blue lenses, and a pair of green slippers that were gold trimmed and had a shoe/sandal-like appearance. His name was Ōetsu Nimaiya- the God of the Sword and creator of the current Generation's Zanpakuto.
"Head Quincy Leaders have a unique power that originated from Yhwach. A successor would inherit their predecessor's Soul instead of reincarnating and then merges with theirs to form a being with both memories and powers in unison, adding on with future generations. Over a thousand years, it repeated 28 times- Ichigo's the latest. And with Kazui defeating him, the little rugrat will be the final one for the 2nd Generation. You dig?," said Ōetsu explained with a subtler version of his lively tone.
"Ichigo probably fought first...then his mother...then his grandfather...then Giselle's Ichigo's great grandmother?! she doesn't look like that though," Isane replied coming to a realization
"It's because she's manifesting in her preferred state. If the fight goes a-blazing higher than a rocket- she'll turn into the age that she died in- her age that she was at her prime when she birthed Uryu and Ichigo's granddaddies-, you should know right?," Ōetsu said with his serious eyes shining through his glasses.
"You said the final one...won't he pass on to the Soul Society if he dies later in life.," Kiyone asked the sunglass wearing man.
"You're not reading between the lines- ß is the last letter of the Quincy alphabet, so there's no need to die so that power passes on- no more letters to pass onto.," Ōetsu said in a calmer more solemn voice.
"You don't mean...!," Kiyone said with a wider gaze and expression of horror.
"Kazui will achieve Nirvana- the ability to exist outside the cycle of rebirth, lasting infinitely-eternally even after the universe fades away and the infinite numbers of eternities fade away- he'll live forever after this.," Oketsu answered with upmost gravity to his words.
"Won't that be a curse?," Isane asked with a tone of concern towards the boy.
"Maybe if he has company, he won't be lonely...I really hope he does...it'll be lonely being number one..shining bright for everyone," Ōetsu replied with a subtle smile.

Kazui stared at the girl, his form turning back into his orange haired Soul Reaper state with his Zanpakuto sealed. The girl smiled and manifested her Vollständig wordlessly- a bony structure of bat like wing bones appeared on her back.
She's not like Daddy, Grandma or Great Grandpa...she's probably had more time to be taught in the proper Quincy way...I wonder if she likes a moose...yeah...I thought getting a rhino would make people think I'm cool..., but it was the moose...the moose... I wonder she's into a moose too since I'm her latest reincarnation- we should have the same interests., Kazui thought initially with an analytical track before going off in an odd tangent.
Using Hirenkyaku she appeared in front of Kazui who looked bewildered as to what was to be expected of the girl. She then hugged him adorably causing Kazui to blush.
"So cute, you're like Ichigo only less of an ass- it's making me flutter inside," Giselle said as she hugged him tighter- this time more bone cracking in the ribcage area.
"Ah... do you like to have a moose?- I thought about it and I actually think a moose is cooler than a rhino- I only said rhino because the kids at school bet I couldn't do it...thought if I got the rhino Hollow, he'd probably eat them. Do you know any non-violent moose that I can find for a pet?," Kazui said in a confused tone as he continued to blush before going off on a bizarre tangent.
"Well, they are aggressive, the trick is to give them space before you get their trust and open to you- their kicking makes this exciting when you're together with one. I've checked personally," Lisa said in a stern tone as she pulled her glasses to her face with an odd nostalgic blush as she smiled that creeped out most of the people around her- even made Yoruichi looked in wide eyed bewilderment.
Since you said, I'm not liking what you meant by that, Nanao thought as she imagined a very censored image of Lisa with a moose.
"Hee...You're odd, a little like me. The problem here is that you and Ichigo have a wild imagination with women- proper dresses completely covering the body for him and skimpiness for you- you little perv- so I'm hot in your mind eh?," Giselle spoke with an undertone of anger in her goofy tone as she continued to squeeze Kazui's body with her hug.
Ha! Kazui doesn't know anything about women. All he sees in them are cooties I bet, thought Ichika in a cocky expression with her eyes closed with a smug grin and her arms crossed. Nemuri was confused by Ichika's odd aura of jealousy, to which the black haired girl did not understand fully.
"Actually, I admit Kon's made me always like the sexy look on girls..though I'm a little worried to ask the girl I like to be sexy too if she doesn't like it. Also I have something Kon calls a crossdressing feitsh.," Kazui said in blasé tone with his eyes closed upwards and a subtle smile, reducing his blush back to normal. This caused a massive uproar of reactions.
One half of the female group including Rukia, Sui-Feng, Ururu, Momo, Riruka, Jackie, Ikuni, Nanao, Hiyori, Isane, Kiyone, Ms. Ochi, Ichika, Ryo, Tatsuki, Michiru and a few female Full-Bringers were either mortified from the reveal or looking disappointed that the boy wasn't as innocent as they thought.
Another half including Yoruichi, especially Chizuru, Rangiku and a few Full-Bringers were very pleased, giving the boy a big thumbs up as they smiled mischievously in his direction, though he still unaware of their presence.
And the third group, Mahana, Orihime, Nemuri, Mashiro, Shutara, Kukaku Kirio, Lisa and a group of Full-Bringers had already known about this trait, overall neutral on the subject or too naive to understand the implications . Orihime notably broke her pained expression for the first time since the fight began, placed her right hand on her forehead and sighed with some levity.
On the man side of the group towards the left, Yokochini, Kaoru, Yukio,Tsukishima, Rose, Kenpachi, Tenjin, Mayuri, Ikkaku, Shunsui, Ōetsu, Ichibe, Love and few Full-Bringers were either impressed by his pure honesty or utterly uninterested in the boy's response due to their lack of intimate romantic fantasies- especially on Kenpachi and Mayuri's behalf.
Moe, Toshiro, Renji, Akon, Kensei, Iba, Sajin, Shuhei, Byakuya, Marechiyo, Ganju, Genshiro, Hachigen, Kisuke, Tessai and some Full-Bringers had wide eyed, jaw dropped expressions of complete disbelief of the pure image of the boy being shattered. Some dropped to their knees in whitened shock and others were in a daze of denial.
Keigo meanwhile, felt an uneasy shiver of dread as if he knew Kazui did something unusual again.
(Bleach Soundtrack: BL_29 plays in the background)
"Aw, you're honest, girls like that in a man. Especially one that's into his feminine side," Giselle said with a blush and a wink.
Yeah...since you're both anyway, thought Isane with peeved disgust as she looked on.
She then kissed Kazui on the lips to everyone's shock or utter lack of interest.
"This doesn't count as my first- since you're technically me as well.," Kazui responded with an innocent expression on his face, not registering the kiss just then.
"I hope you don't disappoint," Giselle said with an eerie, happy tone as she backed away from Kazui.
Giselle let go of Kazui, clicked the heart buckle on her belt and an arched bow popped out above her to then grasp. The bow had a heart shape in the middle center with two arms shaped like linked bones branching out of it. Giselle then grabbed hold of the heart portion with one hand and pulled back on a Reishi string with her other hand to fire like a normal bow.
"You've done well to make this far, to be honest- you're better than Ichigo who had to resort to Vollständig just to stay ahead. Now you're facing Z-A...and I won't be as sweet as the three before me- Heilig Pfeil!," Giselle complimented the boy before firing her Reishi arrow- the arrowhead was shaped like a cartoony human skull.
Kazui blocked the arrows, by unsheathing his Zanpakuto- and wordlessly activating his Shikai to some of the onlookers' shock- the blade then acted as a shield from the strikes. Giselle emerged behind the boy and prepared to fire another round. Kazui to her surprise, grabbed her right leg and threw her to the ground. He made an apologetic look before he struck to stab her through the heart- only to be blocked by her Ewiger Blut. Both smiled with the resultant response- one of shared blood-lust.
"No fair, ending it so quickly. A shame though, if you did stab me I'd have used my Shrift on you- to make you a zombie with my blood.," Giselle lamented as she stared at Kazui with a ghoulish expression.
Kazui beamed a sparkly happy expression to her confusion. The onlookers were either pleased or disturbed by the boy's apparently insane personality that shared an affinity with hers.
(Bleach Soundtrack: BL_40 plays in the background)
"Aw...you have a macabre power...Awesome!," Kazui squealed with glee as he leaped away from Giselle.
"Alright, since you're intrigued. I'll say this- The Zombie allows me to control whatever my blood touches as a corpse. A single drop for a weak enemy to reach the brain, having to be cut down to the heart to release enough blood to control a strong guy to cover the entire body. I can use it on my fellow Quincy- thought they have to die first- though its bad for a public image though. The corpses can either speak in broken sentences or not at all- they have better reactions if they died with fresh cells. Luckily..in this state...the corpses don't have the special properties to infect like I can. Also I can heal lost limbs by taking the ones from the dead to reattach to my own, even to my allies and even reattach limbs of the zombies that loses their limbs. And finally, I can heal and endure any fatal injury. But, if you cut me...I will go down easily...go down easily...," Giselle explained with an increasingly morbid tone, much to some of the onlookers' disgust, some intrigued and Kazui it was met with wide-eyed admiration towards the woman.
"You're being awfully honest about this...though technically, it's me doing it so it's not wrong..., but I'm not silly enough to reveal everything to myself...," Kazui then monologued to himself with a confused expression with his head titled to the right.
"Oh, you see I'm holding back a little-I can't lie to myself completely..," Giselle talked to herself on Kazui's introspective monologue with a sweet laugh as she titled her head in the opposite direction.
The hell I am watching- we went from Ichigo being cut in half- to catgirls that stabbed a kid several times- to gun towing knights fighting a silver haired Super Beep with fox tails and now this- the hell will happen next, thought Shinji with a single seat bead on the incredibly unusual situation happening below.
"Oh...I didn't notice you peoples, I'm very absorbed into this fight...you all be as good as Ms. Captain Feng at stealth," Kazui naively said as he noticed the onlookers above.
Is this his way of saying we're weak, thought most of the onlookers with annoyance, but couldn't argue with this kid because he didn't mean it on purpose.
(Bleach Diamond Dust Rebellion Soundtrack: Nightmare plays in the background)
Giselle bit her tongue and shot a blood projectile at the boy who zoomed to the side instantaneously to dodge contact. She fired a volley of them until she panted in exhaustion due to the boy's increased speed of dodging the attacks.
She then flew closer to him and engaged in a punch out brawl with their Ewig Blut activated. Kazui laughed his head in enjoyment while Giselle looked annoyed that she wasn't being caused to bleed due to their equal levels of strength.
"I guess tricking you into cutting won't work either. Right, now- this Vollständig is like one of your sealed Zanpakuto. I need to say its name to activate its power- to go like Shikai- and then if little ol' me is pushed- I go into my ultimate state- like a Bankai. It's what separates the A-Z and succeeding generations," Giselle explained with a happy, yet haunting expression.
So that's why she's able to do it without saying anything- she's two trump cards...hee, hee, Kazui thought happily with the thought of his enemy becoming stronger.
"Ok.," Kazui replied with a dull tone and blank stare that contrasted with his actual thoughts.
"Sariel- Vollstandig: Schnitter von Gott (Reaper of God)," she declared as a blue-violet torrent surrounded her, then it happened.
Kazui felt for the first time- aside from his mother being upset for going too far- fear as he hallucinated a Grim Reaper behind him. He recomposed himself enough to remain calm- calm enough to enjoy the fight.
Giselle emerged from the torrent, taller and older than she was before- being around a foot taller than Unohana's height and around 44 years in appearance. She had a curvaceous figure with longer hair compared to her flat chested previous state- including an extended antenna that went towards her waistline and oddly, she had a noticeable bulge in her lower pelvic area similar to a man's... She now wore skeletal themed armor that was designed like a traditional kimono with long sleeves with a section revealing her navel. Her wings were larger and more pterosaur-like in structure, reaching 13 feet across. She now had a Pteranodon skull instead of her previous small hat on the top of her head. She bore an eerily calm expression on her face along with more mature feminine grace. Her bow was altered into a bone constructed scythe with a vulture head where the black blade and the handle met.
"I'm back to this form again after 10 years...my powers from needing to use blood to make zombies to actually bringing anyone back from the dead with Gott Helfer (God's Helper). Also if you get cut once, bleh, you die. Also I can regenerate from blood cells in this state," Giselle said in a calm womanly voice of eerie grace to the boy who was oddly pleased with the way that she described her powers.
Kazui smiled in anticipation- manifested an orange version of the Tsuki-Kazui fused form of Bankai. After a moment, they took seemingly vanished and several clash waves occurred across the area to most of the viewer's shock- they couldn't see the clashes.
The two were evenly matched in weapon-manship, but Giselle continued to smile even flirtatiously kissing Kazui on the cheek once she pinned their weapons away from his face.
"Time to show you want I mean by bringing back people from the dead.," she said to the boy as she slit her right wrist with her scythe. The globs of blood became 13 spheres that solidified into large and more humanoid shapes.
The forms once solidified, stood in front of Kazui and all major fighters who had died in battle: Gin Ichimaru, Kaname Tousen, Izuru Kira, Kugo Ginjo, Giriko Kutsuzawa, Genryusei Shigekuni Yamamoto, Isshin Kurosaki, Ulquiorra Cifer, Yammy Llargo, Aaroniero Arruruerie, Szayelaporro Granz, Zommari Rureaux and Baraggan Louisenbairn looked down at the boy who smiled with glee at the chance to face more strong foes.
"Here they come.," said Giselle, signaling the fallen warriors to attack Kazui, who become more frenzied with bloodlust.
Several of the onlookers were ready to enter the battle and beat her to death for this amoral action. Only to be stopped by the completely white eyed glare of Ichibe.
"If he doesn't go through this. He'll always have be forced to fight with a sheathed resolve. Do not forget, he is a Soul Reaper like all of you- and drastic measures that he'll be forced to do must be learned today," he said with a grave and patronizing tone to chide his perceived immaturity of their intentions.
They back as they calmed themselves to look at the fight going on.
Kazui had become a madden silhouette that was clashing with Giselle and the manifested undead. He bestially bite into the nearby Kira's neck until he tore it off and slice the beheaded body horizontally in half. Rose looked to the side in disgust of this action.
Ichika looked horrified while Orihime looked sternly as she felt this was necessary.
(Music continues)
As the fight progressed from the shadowy silhouettes, it became apparent how quickly Kazui was progressing- he'd be overwhelmed, did slightly better in the next clash, was on equal grounds by the third and then finally surpassed the incoming target with ease. Despite lacking in most Soul Reaper skills, Kazui had strength that surpassed his father when he fighting these opponents when the latter was several years older at the point that these opponents would be very difficult for Ichigo. It was a vision of insanity- Kazui would tear through Segunda Etapa and Bankai using opponents with the ease of a casual fly swap. Kenpachi grinned at the boy's strength while the others tried to hold in their anger.
Realizing her last reanimated minion was just defeated, Giselle took a ritual stance as she twirled her scythe in a circle, prepared to finish the fight.
"Vollständig- Finale: Gottes Plage (God's Plagues) - in my final state, my presence alone causes everything to become undead," she said as a dark purple aura surrounded her, causing Kazui to retreat backwards with an instinctive sixth sense that this final form would be similar to the 1st Espada's strikes- only this caused instant death rather than decaying.
Kazui...it seems it's time to use the 7th Face, Tsuki's voice barked at Kazui from his mind.
Got it...so you trust me a little more..., Kazui inquired internally with skepticism.
Just to survive..., replied the silver beast with a snide tone towards his Soul Reaper partner.
Kazui then pointed his Bankai sword vertically upwards as the aura dissipated to reveal Giselle's final form- a black female robed figure with a Pteranodon skeleton embracing its back, she wielded a massive scythe with the Vandenreich symbol with a purple coloring and her face was completely hidden aside from view aside from two blue orbs that acted as her eyes. She then noticed that Kazui was doing something with his Zanpakuto.
"Kao Nana: Hangetsu No Hidari no Tenshi No Shika No Ite (Face Seven: Left Angel Deer Archer of the Half Moon)," Kazui declared as he lowered his Zanpakuto flat as a being materialized on the surface. It was a grayish brown anthropomorphic moose with silver antlers, two feathery wings on its back and wielding an arched bow in the form of a half moon.
"A Soul Reaper using a Quincy style power...no fair," said Giselle' peeved matured voice with an otherworldly pitch from the hooded cloak.
The moose then pulled its bowstring, which caused a spiral shaped arrow to manifest and fired it at Giselle- completely shredding her form in spite of her Ewiger Blut.
Kazui breathed more heavily after that strike as the moose dematerialized. The cloak began to fall down.
(Music Ends)
(Bleach Diamond Dust Rebellion Soundtrack: The Baddest Presentiment plays in the background)
After suffering defeat, the falling cloak did something unusual- it reformed as two human bodies instead of one like previously. They stood midair as if on an invisible ground in front of Kazui.
They were a pair of twins and identical in form- tall and rather slender men, whose head were completely bald and featured a third eye seemingly tattooed at the center of their forehead.s Each of their ears were encased by a circular, headphone-like covering further surrounded by a dark-colored trim. They were a black version of the standard Vandenreich outfit.
Shunsui and Genshiro clenched their fists in silent fury upon seeing them.
"We are Royd Loyd and Loyd Loyd- We are Y-The Yourself collectively. For we share a Shrift- the power of turning into our enemy and replicate their abilities. Royd can replicate memories and personality while Loyd can replicate powers and techniques. The only way to overcome this is a power that is stronger than what power we manifest," said the two in tandem with each other in middle pitch monotone voices as they looked down at the boy as they slowly turned into two Kazui Kurosakis identical to the original.
"The powers you did right now, we know how to use it. Though from what we've learned-," said the first fake Kazui with his Zanpakuto raised with a happy tone.
"You almost beat Ichika to death by accident when she caught you in your Bankai completion- thought you've repressed that thought," said the second with a more demeaning undertone of mockery. It caused Kazui who previously happy fighting Giselle to go quiet with silent anger.
Ichika shivered as she held herself as she remembered the trauma, much to Rukia's confirmed horror. Kazui was both angered and incredibly saddened by this fact that he repressed- one of the many reasons, that he never went all out or for the kill- he didn't have complete control of his Bankai.
The two then lunged at the original Kazui and clashed swords. In between, they would summon bows identical to Kazui's moose's bows to fire arrows towards the boy. He managed to dodge them, only to be kicked in the stomach and be forced to skid a few inches back in pain. They continued using Kazui's techniques as they caused him to lose galloons of blood with each successful strike- using the strength that Kazui suppressed. One had his techniques perfected, while the other would speak about several guilt inducing monologues inaudible except for Kazui's ears to listen to on how he was more of an unnecessary existence than his father, who they saw as slightly less unnecessary.
"...You should be glad that we're stopping you before you get stronger. You're overshadowing everyone, you unnecessary brute of violence.," said the fake Kazui with the memory powers in a demeaning happy tone.
"Vollstandig-Zachriel-In Gottes Bild (In God's Image)," they said confidently to Kazui's shock as the two returned to their previous form, melded into one being and were shrouded by a blue torrent.
The being remerged from the torrent as a seemingly transparent, featureless humanoid form with two large mirrors acting as its wings.
"Perfekte Klon (Perfect Clone)," said the being in a stoic tone as it resumed Kazui's form, now only singular. This one felt more complete than the two separately.
"This is strange...staring at me like this,"the fake Kazui said with a spacey tone identical to the original as manifested the moose guardian from earlier. He shot it through the bow's stomach. However, to the imposter's surprise, the real Kazui positioned his Zanpakuto like a downward upper fang.
"Ok...Kao San: Hangetsu Niyari To Migi No Kyodai Shishi (Face Three: Right Lion with the Half Moon Grin)- it can eat anything, even abstract concepts," Kazui declared quietly.
"Vollständig Finale: Namen Gottes (Names of God)," said the fake Kazui breaking out of character in shock as he turned into different Kazuis of varying ages, genders and shapes- a gigantic half-moon mouth materialized in front of them.
They launched Kazui's previously used attacks during the fights starting with the bout with Ichigo- only to be slowly eaten by a manifesting grinning mouth in spite of their combined Ewiger Blut protecting them, which then spit out them as a single liquid that hit a nearby planet.
Kazui sighed in relief knowing that he wouldn't have to listen to them anymore.
(Bleach Diamond Dust Rebellion Soundtrack: Encirclement Battle plays in the background)
The liquid then reformed itself into another form.
It was a young dark skinned man with short white hair and a black mark shaped like a crosshair over his right eye, which is constantly shut. His attire consisted of he wears black gloves embroided with a winged X; a dark-colored, sleeveless shirt with a dark brown, furred pauldron on his right shoulder; dark brown pants; dark pant legs with missing sections near his calves which are attached to his shirt; and dark-colored shoes. He wore a dark brown, furred bicron on his head. He drew out a special type of black rifle from the Reishi in the environment- Its forestock was mostly covered in dark brown fur, except for a section on the underside near the end of the forestock. The end of the long barrel had a black, plus-shaped extension on it, and the stock was composed of two long, triangular protrusions that stabilized the rifle against his shoulder and torso.
Sui-Feng glared at him with silent fury with a slightly raised fist.
Kazui attempted to prepare another assault using the mouth type power, only to see the man had closed in during the time that he went from staring down he landed and noticing him in front of his battle stance.
"Schhwaff.. it's over.," said the man calmly as he pointed the muzzle towards Kazui's chest.
Kazui suddenly felt a hole in his chest- completely circular had suddenly manifested in his chest, which made him fall slightly backwards. Ichika screamed in misery and immense guilt.
The dark-skinned man turned around, but stopped when he heard a voice talking back.
"Bleh...I guess I died," Kazui replied sarcastically- this time as the silver haired form who flipped the dark-skinned man the finger.
"What is-," the man said in surprise with a wide eyed expression of disbelief.
"Kao Ichi: Shokō No Shingetsu No Ten No Ōjo (Face One: Heavenly Princess of the Dawning First Moon). As long as she uses the healing liquid on me, I can heal from anything," the boy said as an elegant Chinese themed princess figure in golden royal dress with blue water flowing behind her body materialized on the right side of Tsuki-Kazui. On closer inspection, she had a remarkable resemblance to Orihime in both hair, face and eye color. something that was not lost to the original Orihime who smiled gently.
The liquid behind her went into Tsuki-Kazui and reduced the hole until his chest was back to normal.
"Ok, first- a rabbit that can multiply, golden scythe slashes, arrow shooting moose, conjuring a inter-dimensional mouth that eats anything, a were beast transformation and now regeneration liquid- how many abilities do you need?," Shinji said to himself.
"One, three, five, seven and eight- you're revealing your trump cards too early...that will cost you the fight later on," said the man in a perceptive tone until he was caught off by the next thing he saw.
Several golden scythe shaped energy projectiles, which had been launched by Kazui fired towards the man.
"I am Lille Barro- The X- X-Axis, my power is to use my rifle, Diagramm (Diagram) to pierce anything I fire at with perfect accuracy. The rifle does not release a bullet; rather, it simply pierces everything between the muzzle and the target, leaving its power unable to be blocked by any barriers as a result. If both of his eyes open, I can fully use The X-Axis, which allows my rifle to pierce through whatever I shoot at and renders my body intangible. Though the power will only work for a short period of time when my life is in danger during battle, if I opens his eyes a total of three times in a row during a battle, I am permitted to keep them open for the entire battle. Even if you were to somehow cut this rifle- If part of the forestock is cut off or destroyed by an enemy attack, I can reform it with the appearance of black metal instead of dark brown fur," the man explained his powers with a grave tone
"Then good news...I fired enough so you can use all three. I hope you're standing up after this.," Tsuki-Kazui said with a mischievous tone.
Just as he said, when one was able to strike Lille- the latter opened his closed eye to become intangible for the duration of the impact blast. This repeated two more times until all of the attacks phased through him.
"So you're like a impossible concept now- good Niyari Shishi eats those," Tsuki-Kazui said with a crescent shaped grin as the X then looked behind to see the mouth materialized ready to devour him.
It chomped on Lille, ignoring his intangible power causing the man to cough blood.
"Where's your Vollständig...will it turn you into a hole-y angel with hole wings and then a giant owl-dragon-centaur-angel thing?," Tsuki-Kazui asked with a confused expression. Lille looked shocked.
That's exactly what my old Vollstandig was like. How did he know?, Lille thought to himself.
"Yes.. that was Jilliel (Judgement of God). Lord Yhwach said how ridiculous it looked and how the others would snicker at its appearance- so I changed it before the war 10 years ago," Lille responded as if recalling an unpleasant memory. He manifest his sealed Vollständig- a pair of feathery wings as he remained imprisoned with the jaw of the floating mouth.
"Oh...oh, Tsuki-Kazui said as he realized the implications of his words. Sui-Feng sighed as she remembered the fight from 10 years ago.
"Gadreel- Krieg von Gott (War of God)," said Lille as his form became shrouded in light.
Chapter 13: ß- the Final Letter- X2-W-V
