A New World I Never Noticed Ch.50 (Final Chapter)
Saki looks at the sky
Ichigo: Saki? What's up?
Saki (Hollow): It's nothing. I'm just glad it's finally over, though it feels quite weird to be a Hollow again.
Ichigo: Do you think Ignis and Yuki-Onno are happy now?
Saki (Hollow): Who knows? Most likely they are. For years they have suffered and now they can finally rest in peace. I wish I could say the same thing about the others.
Renji: Others? Oh, you mean the Circus.
Saki (Hollow): Yeah, even though we were strong, we still felt lonely in our hearts about who we are. That's why Creas why remaining parts of themselves. So they can never forget who they are.
Mai: Saki…
The Stealth Force and Soifon arrive
Soifon: Hold it right there, Hollow! We know who you are and you're under arrest!
Ichigo: Soifon! What are you doing here?
Renji: This isn't good. They're about to kill Saki.
Saki (Hollow): What? Hold on a second, I can explain…
Soifon: There is no need for a Hollow to speak for himself, especially under these…
Byakuya: Cancel your orders, Captain Soifon.
Everyone notices Byakuya, Kenpachi, and Toshiro
Rukia: Brother!
Renji: Captain, are you alright?
Toshiro: We're fine. Just a little uneasy, but we can make it.
Kenpachi: I can't believe I let that little bastard knock me out! He better be glad he's dead!
Byakuya: Either way, the Hollow you are trying to pursuit is not the enemy. All of us here can vary that.
Saki: Shinigami…
Byakuya: We are not letting you let live, boy. Ignis was the one behind of this, not you. So for whatever crime you commit, you shall be killed for it, but not for this one. Come. We are leaving.
Byakuya, Kenpachi, Toshiro, the Stealth Force, and Soifon leave by a Senkaimon
Midori: That was a close one. Glad the Captains were here, huh Saki?
Saki looks down at the ground
Ichigo: What's wrong? You should be happy that they let you live.
Saki (Hollow): It doesn't make a difference. I'm still going to die anyway.
Ichigo: What are you talking about? I'm sure if we talk to the Old Man, then you could…
Saki (Hollow): That's not what I mean. You see, if I were to separate the body that me, Ignis, and Yuki-Onno shared then I would eventually die off.
Everyone is shocked
Mai: What? You knew about this…
Saki (Hollow): Of course. If the fusion between an Orphan and a Hollow is incomplete, the Hollow would die off because the "heart" the Crea was given when the fusion was made is not longer supporting the Hollow. Therefore, the Hollow would have an estimate time before it would disappear. Since I was barely alive when the fusion was made, I knew that once the body was separated, I would die.
Ichigo: But that doesn't make any sense! You fought for everyone, but you still insisted on doing this!
Saki (Hollow): I told you that I planned it from the beginning.
Ichigo: But…
Saki (Hollow): Ichigo, do you still have the portion of Pandora's Heart?
Ichigo: Huh, oh yeah, what about it?
Saki (Hollow): Give it to me. If you give me that portion then I will be able to live on. I told you, I planned it from the beginning. But as soon as you obtained Pandora's Heart, I thought you guys might say something about me dying off, so I think that if I have that portion, I'll be able to live.
Natsuki: Is that so?
Saki (Hollow): Yes, Pandora's Heart grants whoever obtains whatever they want. So if I want to live on, I can use that portion to do so.
Ichigo: When did you find out about this?
Saki (Hollow): Back when Ignis controlled the body. He was able to use Pandora's Heart for many different purposes such as reducing damage or increasing his spiritual pressure.
Ichigo: Alright I get it, here.
Ichigo transports the portion out of his body and gives it to Saki
Saki looks at the portion and crushes it in his hand
A light surrounds the area
Everyone is shocked
Ichigo: What the…
Mai: What's going on?
Six figures rise from the ground
The six figures reveal to be Alexander, Jasmine, Vincent, Jomei, Nero, and Helena
Ichigo: Is that… no way…
Saki: I told you, Pandora's Heart can be used in many different ways. It can even bring back life.
Alexander regains consciousness
Alexander: Huh? What in the world…
Alexander notices Saki
Alexander: Saki? Is that you?
Saki (Hollow): Yes. Welcome back, brother.
Alexander begins to smile
Alexander: You used Pandora's Heart, didn't you? I somehow knew you do something like this.
The others regain consciousness as well
Jomei: What? Are we…
Helena: Alive?
Alexander: Saki. Thank you.
Saki (Hollow): No need to thank me. You guys deserve a second chance at life after all the pain y'all gone through. So I used Pandora's Heart to bring back all the members of the Circus back to life.
Ichigo: Quite a smart move never thought of it.
Saki (Hollow): Just because I'm a Hollow, don't think I lose who I am. By the way, you guys are reborn as humans now, so you no longer have any powers, but you can still see spirits.
Vincent: Well that sucks. I loved using my powers.
Jasmine: Shouldn't you just be glad that you're alive.
Vincent: Whatever.
Saki begins to cough hazily
Alexander: Saki, are you alright?
Saki begins to fade away
Everyone is shocked
Saki (Hollow): Guess it's time for me to go.
Jasmine: What? But you said that you revived everyone who was part of the Circus back to life, right? So why are you…?
Nero: Saki's not part of the Circus. Remember he left.
Alexander: What, but you…
Saki (Hollow): Sorry, I knew I couldn't make up for some of the mistakes I made… but I at least wanted to…
Alexander: Shut up.
Saki (Hollow): Huh?
Alexander: You've always done enough. Don't talk bad about yourself. At least try to talk smart for once.
Saki (Hollow): What are you talking about? I'm…
Alexander: You still don't understand. We are grateful for everything you've done. In fact, out of all of us here, you're the only one who still remained to be him to the end. Unlike me, I've lost myself through this entire mess. But you still kept that promise you made to yourself. You swore that you will help those you care about rest in peace. And that's what you've done.
Saki (Hollow): Brother… Thanks. Thank you everyone. Thanks to all of you, I've enjoyed my second chance in life. I have no regrets to leave behind, expect that I wanted to stay with you all until the end. If this entire day was my life, then I lived a good one.
Mai: Saki… rest in peace. You've deserved it.
Ichigo: I hope to see you again, when you reach the Soul Society.
Saki (Hollow): Yeah, looking forward to it.
Everybody notices the sun rising
Saki walks slowly towards it
Saki stops and looks at the sun
Saki vanishes within the light of the rising sun
A few days later
Ichigo wakes up in the Infirmary
Ichigo: Huh? Why am I…?
Mashiro: Ah, Ichigo, you're awake.
Ichigo: Mashiro, why was I asleep?
Mashiro: You fell out after Saki disappeared. You probably wasted all lot of energy during the fight.
Ichigo: Yeah…
Ichigo remembers the battle
Ichigo: So where's everybody at?
Mashiro: There waiting for you. Come.
Scene changes to the outside field of Fuka Academy
Ichigo, Fuki, and Mashiro arrive at a picnic where everybody is at
Orihime: Ichigo!
Ichigo: Hey, guys. What going on?
Chad: We're having a party to celebrate our victory.
Natsuki: While you were sleeping, we had enough time to invite everyone.
Yamamoto: Yes. We are glad to come.
Ichigo notices all the Shinigami Captains and Lieutenants, as well as all the other HiMEs
Ichigo smiles at the sight
Mai puts a drink at Ichigo's ear and surprises him
Mai: Morning, sleepy head.
Ichigo: Man, that's cold!
Mai slightly laughs and hands Ichigo the drink
Ichigo smirks and accepts it
Everyone cheers in excitement and begins the celebration
Scene changes to the train station
Alexander looks at Fuka Academy from a distance
Jasmine: Alexander! Hurry up! The train is about to leave!
Alexander: Coming!
Alexander broads the trains with the others
Helena: So where are we going?
Nero: Yeah, you not actually good with directions.
Alexander: I don't know. We are the "Circus" after all. We'll go whatever the train takes us.
The train begins to move
Saki: (I don't know what lies beyond for me now. I don't know what it's like to part with the ones you love. But, I do know whatever I go… it'll be a place where I can finally rest. Who knows… maybe I'll end up in a new world I never noticed.)
The End
