CH. 21
"I'm truly going to die this time. There's no way in hell that this is a dream." Those were the few words that Matt spoke in his head as he stared at the cloud of heat waves. Matt didn't know what to do right now at the moment. To be more specific, he couldn't do anything.
"I can't move. I can't even blink." Matt then saw a giant bulge come out of the cloud of heat waves. It quickly resembled an open hand. Only this time, it looked like the hand was going to grab Matt. "Is this thing after me? The cloud of heat waves then took a step closer to Matt who was still frozen in fear and launched his hand at him. "I guess this is it." Matt closed his eyes and waited for the worst to happen. But then, the unexpected happened.
"EL DIRECTO! (Strike of the giant)"
*BOOM* ROOOOAAAAR
Matt heard the howl of pain and opened his eyes to see what happened. When Matt opened his eyes, he saw that the hand that was about to grab him was blown off along with the entire arm. The unknown monster in front of Matt clutched its shoulder while howling in pain.
"Who did that?" Matt asked in his head. He looked around the place to see who could have possibly wounded whatever was in front of him. There was no one in sight around him or the cloud of heat waves. "I don't know who did it but, the voice I heard from him was really familiar. I can feel a faint presence that possibly came from whoever saved me." Matt then saw the unknown monster quickly get back on its ground and it looked like it was looking right at Matt. "I'm glad whoever was here saved me. That sudden attack seriously woke me up." Matt then glared at the cloud of heat waves. "I can't believe that I let myself get shaken up that easily. When Jay got hurt, I shouldn't have stayed frozen in fear. I should have run away from here so no one would get hurt since it looks like it's after me." Matt then reached into his shirt and took out a necklace with a small gold coin amulet hanging from it. The coin looked like it came from another country. He looked at it and smiled as he thought, "Isn't that why you entrusted your greatest treasure to me? So that why I can carry out your wishes for you and throw my punches out there to protect people and for the person I will be fighting with back to back like what you did years ago when you were my age?" Matt then formed a fist with the gold coin amulet inside of his hand. "I can tell that we have different fighting styles, you have more of a defensive fighting style and mine is more offensive like. But that doesn't mean that we have different motives. We both fight to protect people." The coin in Matt's hand then started to glow in his hand and the unknown monster in front of Matt started to become more and more clear to Matt's eyes. He started to see a giant humanoid monster with a white mask with a circle fish face, giant hands and small feet. There was a hole in its chest He walked toward the now visible hollow as he thought.
"So with your help, I ask you lend me strength so I can have the power to protect my older brother and to continue living so I can fight back to back with Seinaru." The fish faced hollow then used its remaining hand to try and grab Matt once again. Matt just closed his eyes again. But this time he was smiling. And Matt still had the gold amulet coin in his closed hand. "Be afraid whatever you are." The fish faced hollow lunged its hand at Matt and grabbed him. Matt's entire body was in the monsters fist.
"Got you!" the fish faced hollow said while grinning evilly. "Your soul is mine." Just as the fish faced hollow finished its sentence, a giant flash formed around its hand and the fish faced hollow went wide eyed as he watched the bright light around his arm.
"Be very afraid you fish faced freak." After that last sentence was heard the hollow felt a sword cut his last hand off. The hollow screamed in pain once again as he felt his own flesh get sliced by an unknown being. The hollow looked in front of him and saw Matt himself, only this time, he had a weapon in his right hand. Matt immediately recognized the sword from his dream that he had earlier today. Only this time he got a full, clear, view of the entire sword. The handle was still black with a white hand guard and small silver spikes across the handle. Matt this time got to see the entire sword. The sword was single edged and was a ruby colored with the gold coin amulet in the center of the sword. The entire sword was 5 ½ feet tall including the handle and the sword was 5 inches wide. Matt looked at his sword in amazement.
"This is the same sword from my dream earlier. How did it get into my hands." The hollow then got back up on its feet and charged at Matt the remaining handless arm.
"I was right to go after you." the hollow said in a nasty voice. "Your soul smells a lot more delicious now that sword appeared. You're mine!" The hollow swung its handless arm at Matt and was about to make contact with him when Matt made an unexpected move even to himself.
*ZSHEEN CRCKLE*
Matt disappeared who was in front of the hollow dodging the hollow's attack. After Matt disappeared a couple of bright green sparks were seen where Matt last was. The hollow had no idea where his prey went off to. Matt then made his appearance with an attack from behind.
*SLASH*
A huge diagonal slash was formed on the hollow's back which was made by Matt and his ruby colored sword. The hollow fell on his knees and Matt immediately disappeared from the hollow's back side to his front. The bright green sparks formed again from where Matt teleported from. When Matt appeared in front of the fish faced hollow, he became speechless on what just happened.
"I don't know what is exactly going on right now. But this feels awesome right now, in fact I feel like I can take on anyone. I was given the power to protect people and that's what I'm going to use it for." After that last thought, Matt prepared for the final attack. He charged at the hollow and jumped a few feet off of the ground to the hollow's face. He the grinned as he said,
"You chose the wrong people to mess with you fish faced freak." He then finished off the hollow by swinging his sword through the hollow's face.
*SLASH*
The hollow disappeared after that last attack and that showed Matt that the battle was his. The moment he touched the ground is when he felt exhausted from that battle. He was panting from exhaustion while leaning onto his sword so he won't fall to the ground. The tip of the blade was dug into the ground. Even though he was flat out tired, he still managed to stare at the sword and mutter,
"What (huff) was that just now? (huff)"
"That was something known as fullbring." said a mysterious voice that came out of nowhere answering Matt's question. Matt turned his head to his right to see someone he knew all too well.
"I should have known that it was you who saved me earlier." said Matt smiling when he saw who was talking to him. "Isn't that right, Yasutora Sado?"
"It's been a while since you've called me by my real name." Chad said while smiling. "Of course it has also been a while since I've had to clean up my adoptive son's mess."
"Heh, yeah, you're right about that." After that last sentence, Matt fell unconscious. Chad managed to catch him before he hit the ground. Chad also had to carry his sword since it was still active.
"Who would've thought that the coin I gave to Matt that I got from my abuelo would be the key to Matt's fullbring." Chad then looked at Matt's feet and saw that there were still faint bright green sparks on the bottom of Matt's shoes. "It's amazing though, he only mastered wielding his fullbring partially and he already is able to use bringer light, a high speed move that allows fullbringers to move from one place to another place nearby. This allowed people with fullbring to evade enemy attacks with ease." Chad then walked over to the beaten up Jay. He looked at him for a little bit and smiled while he said
"How long are you going to watch the show from afar?" Then right on que, a man in a black cloak appeared behind Chad and walked up beside him.
"It appears that my son isn't the only one who has obtained powers similar to his own father." said the man in the cloak. "And it's even amazing that you're son isn't even related to you by blood."
"Yeah." said Chad. "Did you come here because Kisuke sensed Matt's spiritual pressure and sent you to get him?"
"Yeah, he did." responded the man in the cloak. "Is that alright? Kisuke said that it was your choice."
"Yeah I trust him so I'll give him to you." The man in the cloak then removed his hood revealing his face. "Take care of him, Ichigo."
"I will." said Ichigo. Chad then put Matt on Ichigo's back and gave him is still active sword. Due to Matt's very tall height, Ichigo could not completely lift Matt off of the ground. His feet were being dragged on the pavement.
"Tell me," began Chad. "What's with the cloak?"
"Kisuke gave it to me so I could hide my spirit energy. I don't want my son to know about me as a soul reaper yet."
"When are you going to tell him?" Before Ichigo could answer that question, Ichigo started to pick up a huge spirit energy signature not too far away. Chad also picked up on what was going on and he knew what they were going to do next.
"I'll meet you later after this little event has all been sorted out." said Ichigo.
"What do you have in mind?" Chad asked.
"I'm going to sit back and enjoy the show." said Ichigo smiling. He then disappeared heading towards Urahara Shoten. Chad then grabbed Jay and put him on his back carrying him while running away from Matt's battle field.
"Tell me Jay, why didn't you activate your own fullbring and let that hollow wound you like that?" Chad asked. Jay opened his eyes and smiled as he said,
"I knew you would see right through my act. I'll explain later when we get to a safe place from harm." Chad just held a thumbs up sign showing that he understands.
Seinaru
*TAK* Seinaru has just landed where he last sensed Matt which was where Matt had his battle with the hollow. Seinaru looked high and low searching for his closest friend. He managed to feel a faint trace of Matt's spirit energy which surprised Seinaru
"Did Matt's spirit energy increase? I don't remember Matt's presence being this strong before." Before Seinaru could leave, he felt the remains of nasty spirit energy from a hollow. The moment Seinaru felt this, he clenched his teeth and fists showing his anger. He then concentrated hard on trying to find the location of Matt. After much searching, Seinaru found no trace of Matt anywhere.
"Dammit Matt, just where the hell are you?" Seinaru felt a presence above him and looked up. He saw a couple of winged hollows heading toward a specific place. Seinaru at first had no idea what was going on, but he knew that it could not be good. Before he could take one step, he felt a small patch of wind brush against his face for a second. It felt familiar to Seinaru and could not figure out what it was but quickly put two and two together and looked behind him and thought in his head.
"Selena, was that you?"
Alright everyone, chapter 21 is now complete. I hope you all like it this chapter because I'm not so sure how good I did on this one. I really don't know if this is my best work or not. This might have been slightly rushed I don't know for sure. Anyway, I have a favor for everyone who're reading this, when you're reviewing can you tell me how I did on this chapter?
