Madd the Hollowfied
"What you see here is Hollowfication," Madd said, "take a good look because what you're staring at is your demise," Madd readied his sword, "it's been a pleasure Lelouch Kenjima, now you may die."
Madd suddenly disappeared and Lelouch was shocked and then he saw Madd right next to him with his sword raised in the air and Madd brought down toward Lelouch very quickly causing a strong burst on the ground. There was a huge smoke emanating from the burst and Lelouch reappeared in the air and was panted. Lelouch was surprised with what happened as he barely dodged that attack.
"That was too close," Lelouch said.
"Indeed it was," Madd said.
Lelouch was wide eyed and turned his head to see the Hollowfied Madd right behind him. Lelouch panicked and used Shunpo and get some distance. Lelouch faced Madd as he clenched his teeth.
"Are you scared?" Madd asked with glee.
"What?" Lelouch responded.
"You have every right to be; after all, it's only natural to fear great power such as mine and knowing that a mere 8th Seat won't be able to beat me."
Lelouch still clenched his teeth and got in his stance with his Zanpakuto while Madd laughed like a mad man.
"Don't be so sure that you have me beat," Lelouch said.
"Come now," Madd replied, "there's no need to act brave and tough."
"It's no act," Lelouch insisted, "Rise, Teimashu!"
Lelouch's Zanpakuto released and he pointed his released broadsword to Madd while the Hollowfied man merely made a light sound as he readied his short sword. Lelouch and Madd charged at each other and their sword clashed.
C's World
Amatsuki continued to watch in glee in what he was seeing.
"It seems that Madd is satisfied with Hollowfication process I did on him," Amatsuki said, "now then," Amatsuki looked at the vision showing the alternate Human World and seeing Kajiro fight Rai and he was surprised, "oh, well this is unexpected."
Australia
Over in air in Australia, there were strong sword clash occurring. It was Rai fighting with Kajiro as they clashed their Zanpakutos.
"This is ridiculous Rai!" Kajiro complained.
Rai went on the offensive and Kajiro was defending himself. This went on as Rai was swinging his Zanpakuto while Kajiro was defending himself and then he pushed Rai back and Rai skipped back and then he stood.
"Dammit Rai," Kajiro said angrily, "why can't you understand? Why can't you see that I'm doing this for this world?"
"You're only doing this for yourself!" Rai countered, "You just want to rule this world with the army you're trying to create. Worse of all, you're too blind to see the obvious scheme of that old man!"
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
"I know exactly what I'm talking about and you know what I'm saying is true. I'm going to stop you this time Kajiro Sumeragi!"
Rai charged and Kajiro charged and they clashed their blades heavily again.
"If you won't see reason then I'll beat the snot out of you," Kajiro said harshly, "you're just going to fail to stop Schneizel, just like you did six years ago and the people that are aiding you may not live through this time."
"I won't let anyone die," Rai insisted.
"You're a naïve fool," Kajiro insisted, "you're just like my nephew."
Rai was shocked and it allowed Kajiro to kick Rai in the stomach pushing him back. Rai picked himself and got in his stance.
Meanwhile, Sayoko was pushing Nunnally as they were taking a stroll on the sidewalk. Nunnally heard clash sound and looked around.
"Lady Nunnally?" Sayoko spoke, "Is something wrong?"
"Do you hear that Sayoko?" Nunnally replied.
"Huh, hear what?" Sayoko asked a bit confused.
"It's like two swords clashing each other."
"I…don't hear anything."
Nunnally looked back at Sayoko, "Are you sure?"
"Yes," Sayoko said with a nod.
Nunnally wondered and then she looked up and saw something and she was surprised to see two people floating in the air that were in black clothes and it looked like they were sword fighting.
"Miss Sayoko, look!" Nunnally said, "Up there!"
"Huh?" Sayoko looked but didn't see anything, "I don't see anything."
"What?" Nunnally looked at Sayoko surprised and then looked back at the two people in the air, "How could you not see?" Nunnally pointed at them in the air, "There, over there! They're floating in the air fighting."
Sayoko looked at Nunnally with a sad expression, "Lady Nunnally, there's no one up there."
Nunnally looked at Sayoko again confused, "How do you not see them Miss Sayoko?"
"Lady Nunnally, maybe you're feeling fatigue," Sayoko deduced, "perhaps we should head back so that you can get some rest."
Nunnally shook her head, "I'm not tired, how—?" Nunnally stopped herself and wondered as she watched the people up in the sky, "Could it be that I can see them and Miss Sayoko can't…I know I'm not imaging things…why?"
Meanwhile up in the sky, Rai pushed Kajiro back and then he panted and as he just glanced at the ground, he noticed that Nunnally was looking right at them and he was shocked.
"Nunnally," Rai said, "does she…can she see us?"
"It seems that Lelouch's sister can really see us," Kajiro said.
Rai looked over to Kajiro.
Kajiro looked at Rai, "It seems that Nunnally is spiritually aware. Maybe I should approach her."
Rai quickly appeared in front of Kajiro having the blade of his sword on Kajiro's neck and he glared at him.
"Don't even think about it," Rai said.
Kajiro stayed calm, "You're quite protective of her, aren't you? But it's unnecessary, I don't plan to bring her any harm," Kajiro smiled, "I simply want to tell her how her precious brother is doing."
Rai was shocked, "What?"
Kajiro just kept smiling, "I'm sure Nunnally would like to hear how Lelouch is doing right now. In fact, I'll add in a bonus and tell her how Euphemia and Clovis are doing as Shinigami as well."
"But why though? What are you trying to prove? What's there to gain for you?"
Kajiro thought about it and then he shook his head, "Actually, it really doesn't matter and there's no point anyway."
"There's no point?" Rai said surprised, "What are you talking about?"
Kajiro sheathed his Zanpakuto, "Charles and Marianne are making their move right now in Pendragon. I'm not sure if you know this but it seems that CC is with Schneizel."
Rai was shocked, "No, that can't be, she wouldn't."
"She would," Kajiro said with his eyes narrowed, "and she did."
Rai had his head down and clenched his teeth, "Is CC that desperate to…?"
"Frankly, it doesn't really surprised me," Kajiro said bitterly, "hmph anyway, Charles and Marianne along with those still loyal to them are making their move right now to get CC back to them and have her aid them in starting their Ragnarok Connection," Kajiro brought up his right arm, "pretty soon, this world will change and it would be unwise for you and I to be here less we be swallowed up as well."
"Not if they're stopped."
"That would be impossible."
"How can you be so sure?"
Kajiro frowned, "Have you really not noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
"So you really haven't," Kajiro shook his head, "Rai, don't bother trying to stop them. You won't last against a certain someone."
"Certain someone?" Rai raised his eyebrows confused, "Who are you talking about?"
Kajiro sighed, "If you haven't noticed about that person, then I assumed you haven't realized about the other individual."
"Quit being vague Kajiro!"
"All I'm saying is that it is pointless to try to stop them. If you or your so-called allies make the attempt, I assure you, you will fail. Rai, there's no point to continue what you are doing. Join me and leave our Human World. We can come back to it in another time but right now, let's leave this world because if you insist otherwise, you'll either be taken down or swallowed up when Charles and Marianne complete the Ragnarok Connection whether CC helps them willingly or not."
Rai clenched his teeth and glared at Kajiro and then he left and Kajiro simply looked on as Rai was leaving.
"Nothing you can do to stop them," Kajiro said, "because that person will stand in your way and," Kajiro closed his eyes, "as much as it annoys me, that one stronger than both you and I put together…I suppose it really does run in the family."
"Who are you talking about?" Rai asked losing patience, "Answer me!"
Kajiro just simply frowned and sighed.
2nd Division Barracks, Seireitei, Soul Society
Naoto was in his room, reading the books that he borrowed from the archives. He was also thinking about when he met Sosuke Aizen.
"That Sosuke seems like a pleasant guy," Naoto said to himself, "so then…why do I get a sinister feeling from him? He seems to be interested in me and Lelouch…but why?" Naoto frowned, "I don't understand it but something about Sosuke really bothers me."
Naoto couldn't figure it out and just decided to read the books and then worry about his meeting with Aizen at another time. There was a sudden knock on the door and Naoto looked at his door.
"Yes?" Naoto said.
"Kozuki, Captain Shihoin wants to see you in her chambers," A 2nd Division officer said.
"Very well, I'll be right there."
"Yes."
The 2nd Division officer left and Naoto closed the book and set it aside.
"I better get going," Naoto said.
Naoto left his room to go see his captain.
Zanjutsu Hall, Shin'o Academy
Xingke was sitting with his legs crossed and had his eyes closed as his Zanpakuto, Byakko was on his lap. Xingke opened his eyes and saw that he was in his Inner World and there was his Zanpakuto spirit who was just standing with his arms crossed.
"Well Li," Byakko said, "let's go."
"Yes," Xingke said as readied his sword.
Byakko formed powerful tornados and directed them to go after Xingke.
Pendragon, Holy Britannian Empire
In a cell, Gino was sitting in his prison attire and was strapped to a chair. Gino had his head down and he frowned. His cell opened and he looked and he saw Suzaku with a few soldiers with him.
"Well, well, well," Gino said, "if it isn't my old buddy Suzaku."
Suzaku just looked at Gino and had a sad expression.
"What's this?" Gino said as he noticed although he was speaking in a sarcastic tone, "You seem sad. Now how can that be? You're the Knight of One. You control Area 11. You fulfilled your goal so I can't understand why you're sad."
Suzaku sighed sadly, "Gino, I'm here to bring you to His Majesty."
Gino was surprised, "Excuse me?"
Suzaku clenched his fists, "You know about Geass, right?"
"Yeah, I learned about that power seven years ago and that Zero, uh, I mean, Lelouch possessed such power. But why bring that up?"
"As much that it bothers me, Emperor Schneizel posses Geass now."
"Wait, what?"
"Not only that, he wants to test it on someone," Suzaku frowned, "and he wants to test it on you."
"So he plans to make me his puppet?" Gino responded angrily.
"I don't know. I don't know what kind of Geass he has but he wants to find out by using it on you."
"Funny, you said that Geass is an evil power that should never exist and yet…"
"I'm just following orders," Suzaku pointed out, "it's not as though I want to. Please believe me when I say that Gino."
Gino scoffed, "Why the hell should I believe you in anything?"
Suzaku looked down with a sad expression.
"Anyway, we have to go," Suzaku said and then turned to the soldiers, "Bring him."
Sir!" The soldiers said.
Hueco Mundo
Bartley and Darlton as well as his sons were going somewhere and they were walking with a purpose.
"Where are you all going?" The voice of Kewell asked.
They stopped and turned to see Kewell.
"Where are you going?" Kewell asked again.
"That is not something for you to worry about," Darlton responded.
"Not something for me to worry about?" Kewell said surprised, "Should you really be saying that? Lord Arturo will not be pleased."
"Lord Arturo?" Darlton said, "Kewell Soresi, you may sworn allegiance to him but we did not. We never did so we're obligated to serve him.
Kewell was taken back.
"Now you will do well in not bothering us," Bartley said.
"Let's go," Darlton said.
"Yes Father," Darlton's son said in unison.
"Of course," Bartley said with determination.
They left and Kewell was still surprised and then he clenched his teeth.
"Those fools," Kewell said.
Somewhere in Human World
Lelouch jumped back and charged full force against Madd and he swung his Teimashu and Madd blocked it with his short sword. Madd clenched his teeth while Lelouch was just calm and stared at Madd with cold eyes. They pushed each other back and clashed with their blades blocking and countering each other's attacks. They held their blades against each other.
"You're pretty good," Madd said, "I'll give you that."
"Hmph," Lelouch responded, "Hado#11: Tsuzuri Raiden!"
"Huh?"
Lelouch generated an electrical current through his sword, which went through Madd's sword and then struck Madd and he screamed in pain. The current stopped and Lelouch kicked in the stomach causing the Hollowfied man to fall back and land on the ground hard. Madd groaned in pain and Lelouch looked over to Madd. Lelouch then looked over at the temple and rushed over to get to it. Lelouch used Shunpo and reappeared at the hill and was running to get to the temple. Madd saw this and quickly pointed his sword.
"Oh no you don't!" Madd roared.
Madd was forming a red concentrated spiritual energy from the tip of his sword and blasted the red energy at Lelouch. Lelouch looked behind him and saw the incoming blast.
"A Cero!" Lelouch spoke with his eye widened.
The blast struck at the area and Lelouch was able to avoid the blast by jumping up at the last moment and then landed on his feet. Lelouch looked at where the blast struck.
"Tch, I wasn't fast enough," Lelouch said.
Lelouch looked up and saw Madd in the air and then he landed on his feet facing Lelouch.
"Foolish boy," Madd said pointing his sword at Lelouch, "did you really think you would just be able to get to the temple and stop my Thought Elevator."
"Hmm…what do you hope to accomplish with what you're doing?"Lelouch asked, "How did you end up with where you are and how did you end up being Hollowfied?"
"Curious, aren't you? Well, as someone who came from the same world as me, I could tell you…but then, what's the point when you have the intention of stopping this."
Lelouch just narrowed his eyes and readied his Zanpakuto.
"Besides, I already said I was going to kill you," Madd continued, "so really, telling you anything is pointless."
Lelouch sighed, "If you don't wish to tell me, so be it. However, whatever it is your planning will end."
"Don't be so sure boy!" Madd said as he charged towards Lelouch.
"Aoken!" Lelouch said and the blade of his Zanpakuto turned blue.
Madd sword clashed with Lelouch blue emitting blade sword and blue sparks flew and Lelouch used Shunpo again and reappeared and Madd turned to his left side seeing Lelouch raised his Zanpakuto in the air.
"Zetsumajin!" Lelouch roared.
Lelouch did a vertical slash and created a massive royal blue energy and fired at Madd and Madd was surprised. An explosion occurred and Madd had barely got away from the full force of Lelouch's technique and hand he was panting as he landed on the ground. Madd did take hits and Madd's lower left side of his mask cracked and Madd was shocked when he felt it.
"Damn you…you brat!" Madd cursed glaring at Lelouch.
Lelouch just narrowed his eyes and went on the attack again and his sword attack was blocked by Madd's sword.
"I did some damage to that mask of his," Lelouch said in his head, "perhaps…"
Lelouch used Shunpo and reappeared to Madd's right side and Madd quickly blocked Lelouch's blade. Madd pushed Lelouch back and Lelouch readied his sword again.
"Aoken!" Lelouch roared as he brought his Zanpakuto back horizontally, "Zetsumajin!"
Another large royal blue energy attack charged towards Madd and Madd's eyes widened and he quickly dodged the attack. Lelouch looked and saw Madd and clenched his teeth.
"Damn, he's quick," Lelouch said and then thought of something and then he grinned, "All right then."
Madd saw Lelouch's grin and he didn't like it.
"What the hell are you grinning about?" Madd said annoyed.
Lelouch still had his grin and then he readied his Teimashu again.
"Aoken!" Lelouch said as he had a serious expression.
Madd was surprised and charged towards Lelouch.
"Oh no you don't!" Madd said, "I won't let hit me with that again!"
Lelouch suddenly had his right hand out towards Madd, "Hado#33: Sokatsui!"
Madd was caught off guard as the blue flames discharged from Lelouch's palm that had generated a torrent of blue energy and Madd blocked the Kido spell with his sword and then he moved away from the Kido.
"Bakudo#61: Rikujokoro!" Lelouch said as he pointed his right index and middle finger at Madd.
"What?" Madd spoke surprised.
Six wide beams of light slammed Madd's midsection and he descended to the ground and then Lelouch looked over to the temple.
"Zetsumajin!" Lelouch roared as he directed the attack towards the temple.
Madd hit the ground and looked on and realized what Lelouch's intent was and tried to move but was unable to and the temple was destroyed by Lelouch's Zetsumajin technique.
"NO!" Madd yelled and then he screamed and then he turned to Lelouch with hatred, "You damn brat! So that's what you were going for!"
Lelouch was on the ground and then he felt the surrounding and he nodded and then he looked over to Madd.
"It looks like the spiritual surrounding is being brought back in balance again," Lelouch said.
Madd yelled and raised his reiatsu and he was able to break free from the binding Kido. Lelouch was a bit surprised and then he had his guard up again.
"Do you realize what you've done?" Madd asked angrily, "I worked hard in creating it and you destroyed it."
"Oh I'm sorry," Lelouch responded sarcastically, "did you actually expect me to care?"
Madd was shaking, "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" Madd released more of his reiatsu, "I'll kill you Lelouch Kenjima!"
Madd released his reiatsu again and Lelouch clenched his teeth and as he felt Madd's reiatsu.
"There's no way I'm going to get out of this unscathed," Lelouch said in his head, "no matter, I won't back down."
Exelica Garden, Pendragon Imperial Palace
CC was sitting on the hill of the garden and looked up at the sky.
"Soon Lelouch," CC said, "I will be joining you…just hold on until I get there. Then I…" CC silenced herself and put her hand over her heart and then had a sad smile, "I don't get it. It's not the first time that I had an accomplice that was killed…and yet, I feel so much sadness when it comes to Lelouch."
"You really miss my son, don't you CC?" Marianne's voice asked.
CC was shocked and she turned to see Marianne and Charles.
"Marianne…Charles…" CC said surprised as she stood up.
"Surprised to see us CC?" Charles asked with a smirk.
"Well, that's no surprise," Marianne said, "it seems that you made a new contract with Schneizel."
"…Yes, I did."
"CC, it's time we commence the Ragnarok Connection," Charles said, "and this time, there will be no interference."
"Charles…"
"Do you honestly think that I'll allow that?" Schneizel's voice said.
CC was surprised as she, Marianne, and Charles turned and they saw Schneizel with Kanon, Diethard, and Suzaku with him.
"Oh, hello Schneizel," Marianne said with glee.
"Schneizel, you're taking your role as Emperor of Britannia well I see," Charles said with glee.
"Yes," Schneizel said glaring at Charles and Marianne, "unlike you, I'm not ignoring my duties and with what goes on in the world."
"No, you're in control of it with your Damocles."
"I've created the peace that is needed for this world."
"Hmm, so you say," Marianne said then she looked at Suzaku, "Kururugi…"
Suzaku narrowed his eyes and then Schneizel chuckled and he raised his right hand. Soldiers came out of hiding and pointed their guns at Charles and Marianne and the couple looked around seeing that they were surrounded.
"It seems you have us surrounded," Charles said with a bored tone.
"Pretending you're not concern is not going to help you Father," Schneizel said, "I knew you two would come to pick up CC so I had them stationed here to wait."
Charles grinned and Marianne simply smiled.
"So what is your plan Schneizel?" Charles asked, "You do know that gun will have no effect on me and you can forget about trying to shoot Marianne because no one will be able to get her."
"Are you sure about that?" Schneizel said with a grin.
"I am besides, this delay on our plan has gone on long enough, we will activate our Ragnarok Connection and no one will stop us, not even you my son."
"We won't let you succeed," Suzaku declared.
"It doesn't matter what you say Kururugi," Marianne said with a grin, "we will take CC with us and activate the Sword of Akasha and slay God."
Suddenly there were sounds of groans and several soldiers fell on the ground dead. Schneizel, Suzaku, Kanon, Diethard, and CC were surprised when they saw the soldiers being killed and that Bismarck had appeared with his sword and with the Dorothea Ernst and Monica Kruszewski with their own swords in hand.
First District, South Rukongai, Soul Society
Clovis held his sword with both his hands and he closed his eyes and he was concentrating. Clovis gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. Clovis opened his eyes and he saw that he was surrounded by a black space. Clovis looked around and he was hearing a voice.
Human World
The Garganta opened Bartley and Darlton along with Darlton's sons were passing through and then they looked around ascertaining their surroundings.
"Are you sure this is the exact area Bartley?" Darlton asked.
"Yes, I'm positive," Bartley replied.
They heard loud sounds and they were curious as the sounds of clashes and they felt strong reiatsus emanating from a certain direction.
"Over there," Alfred said pointing a direction.
"Father?" Bart spoke looking at his surrogate father.
Darlton nodded, "Let's go, we have things to talk with him."
The others nodded with agreement and determination. Meanwhile Lelouch was in air and he put out his hand towards Madd.
"Hado#33: Sokatsui!" Lelouch roared.
Madd dodged the Kido attack and charged toward Lelouch.
"Hado#63: Raikoho!" Lelouch roared again as he shot the high concentrated lightning Kido.
Madd blocked the Kido with his blade and redirected away from him and then he saw Lelouch was not where he was a moment ago. Lelouch reappeared behind Madd and Madd was surprised.
"Bakudo#62: Hyapporankan!" Lelouch spoke.
Lelouch generated a blueish white glowing rod and threw it at Madd. Madd turned and was surprised as the rod multiplied into a hundred rods and it struck Madd and he was sent to be pinned by the rods to the wall of the destroyed temple. Madd got even angrier at the predicament that he was in and Lelouch reappeared on the ground and looked at Madd.
"It's over Madd," Lelouch said, "you're finished. Aoken!"
Lelouch's blade of his Teimashu turned blue again and Lelouch raised it in the air as Madd was clenching his teeth behind his Geass sigil Hollow mask.
"Zetsumajin!" Lelouch roared as he brought his Zanpakuto down.
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: The conclusion of the fight with a surprise encounter and the confrontation within the Sword of Akasha
