SailorStar9: Chapter 49 is up, this is Chapter 50. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.

Chapter 50: Shock! The Father's True Character


"How annoying." Ryuken muttered, the Hollow charging at him. "Don't you know?" he blasted the head off with one shot. "The only way to deal with high-speed regeneration is finish the job before it can regenerate."

"What's… going on?" Uryū was shocked. "Why do you have… Quincy powers? You… have always loathed the Quincy, haven't you? That's why you discarded your Quincy powers long ago."

"And that is why you are a fool." Ryuken sighed. "You have no talent. Unfortunately, my power is not something so easily lost, like yours. Ishida Ryuken, whether you like it or not, our ancestor, Ishida Sōken, bequeathed all of his power and skills, to the man permitted to call himself, 'The Last Quincy'. The name of only one man."

"The Quincy Cross!" Uryū recognized the Quincy pentacle Ryuken had.

"It's as I thought." Mercury noted. "So noisy." She muttered, the remaining half of the Hollow attempted a backstab. "Aurora Execution!" she released the storm of freezing ice of absolute zero.

I didn't even notice the Hollow coming, and he destroyed it in one shot. Uryū was stunned when Ryuken's arrow shattered the frozen Hollow into bits.

"Uryū," Ryuken addressed his son. "You are still an amateur. You're a fool to head off to Soul Society, unskilled and then proceed to lose your completely undeveloped powers. And then, driven by your small sense of pride, you were unable to fulfil your objectives. But, I am able to restore your lost powers to their previous state."

"That's not possible." Uryū gasped.

"You don't believe me?" Ryuken echoed. "It's the truth. However, there is one condition."

"And that is?" Uryū prompted.

"You must swear, henceforth, you will have nothing to do with the Shinigami." Ryuken replied.


"You haven't told him, have you?" Mercury inquired, the pair watched as Uryū headed off. "About you, Masaki, and Shiba Ishhin?"

"There's no need to." Ryuken replied.

"This Spiritual Pressure…" Mercury's senses were on high alert when the two sensed Isshin's power. "So, that guy has regained his powers them." She mused. "Finally…" she turned to the moon. "Everything is set."


SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
