Chapter 52
Degenerate Star, Collapse
Upon arriving on the scene, Byakuya instantly uses his shikai attack, to cut Szayel into millions of tiny microscopic pieces. He offers no words of greeting, he just attacks. Once done with that ridiculous feat, he turns to face Ichigo, Rukia, the Vaizards, and the lieutenants that support them.
"Rukia." Byakuya finally says, in a low voice.
"Ni…sama…" Rukia says in a shaky breath.
Damn his reiatsu is back in full force already? Not bad!
Rukia ignores her inner hollow, as she keeps her eyes carefully on her brother. She can feel Ichigo is tense, as he stands next to her.
"Hey! Kuchiki! Do you still oppose us?" Hiyori demands loudly, but Rukia puts up a hand, signaling Hiyori to shut her trap.
Ichigo's hollow starts to snicker loudly in his head, and Ichigo is somehow able to keep his face from reacting to his hollow's embarrassing words.
Hey, King! What do you think he would do if we started rubbing our cock on Rukia right now? Can you imagine the look on his face?! He's so full of himself, it would be sure to be an unforgettable memory!
Hiyori scowls, but she also realizes that Rukia is dealing with a family member, so she backs off. Ichigo is sure Byakuya would go nuts, if he actually took his hollow's suggestion, tempting though it may be…
"This notion that you have, about not extracting your inner hollow…why do you feel that way?" Byakuya asks her, in a low tone, and Rukia gives him a pleading look.
"Because I can control these powers, I see the benefit in having them. It wasn't a piece of cake, either…learning how to control them. I didn't seek out these powers, but I've learned to harness them. I haven't mastered it, but my inner hollow and I have made a deal. I have her full cooperation, in exchange for not removing her." Rukia tells him, honestly.
King! Time to cut this boring conversation short, that fairy is back!
"He's back!" Ichigo suddenly interrupts the conversation, and Byakuya's eyes widen, as he feels the familiar reiatsu, of the enemy that he already killed, upon arriving there.
Byakuya turns and stares, at Szayel. Everyone else does the same, as Szayel clicks his tongue at them.
"You didn't think I'd die that easily, did you?" Szayel asks, and Byakuya is unable to respond.
"How many times exactly will we have to kill you, before you fucking die, you homo?!" Hiyori shrieks, and Byakuya is surprised at her outburst.
"I wonder…" Szayel says, with a wicked grin.
Suddenly Ukitake flies in.
"Ukitake…I thought you left before me." Byakuya says, and Ukitake nods.
"Sorry, I got held up, there were many strange looking hollow flying about. I had to take care of them, before I could come here." Ukitake explains.
"How did you kill so many of my subordinates, without releasing more of the secret ingredient?" Szayel demands, and Ukitake scoffs.
"It's easy, when you have my abilities. I think you have no understanding of the enemies that you've chosen to take on!" Ukitake tells him, and Szayel sneers.
If only that brat hadn't destroyed my building…all of my Shinigami dolls were destroyed in that attack along with the building! It's a good thing that I have a back-up plan!
"It seems like enough of the players are here-" Szayel says, but he's suddenly cut off by the ground shuddering and moving, as though an earthquake is taking place in Soul Society.
Everyone looks around, feeling a bit perturbed by the force of the attack…it was just as terrifying as the reiatsu they'd felt earlier, and far more sinister…
Whoa, whoa! King! What the fuck is that?!
Ichigo' s eyes widen, as he recognizes the powerful reiatsu.
Kenpachi!
Unohana watches, as Hinamori and Toushirou open their eyes, and stare wide eyed at her.
"Captain Unohana!" Hinamori exclaims, and Unohana continues healing the Captain Commander.
"What in the hell did she do to us?" Toushirou asks, blushing as he remembers the feeling of having an orgasm.
Hinamori blushes too…she hasn't ever felt anything like that in her life before. It was even more perplexing that Kuchiki-san's bite felt so good that she shivers at the memory of it. She can feel goose bumps running up and down her arms.
"She?" Unohana inquires, and Toushirou clenches his fist.
"Kuchiki Rukia…she stabbed me in the belly with her tail, and…" Toushirou feels his belly, and then he looks at Unohana.
"I already healed it. It was similar to Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ukitake." Unohana reveals, and Toushirou's eyes widen in surprise.
You mean…she made them feel like that too?! Her own brother?! No way! I would never do that to Hinamori!
"Thank you." Toushirou says, meaning it deeply.
Unohana is not given a chance to respond, since the ground beneath them, starts to move…and shake.
Unohana can't hide the shock, when she feels it. She knows what it is, immediately.
"Captain Zaraki…" Unohana whispers, as she closes her eyes to feel the tremors, which are lasting.
"What…what the fuck was that?!" Toushirou breathes, with his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
Hinamori shakes her head.
"You already know…Captain Zaraki just got even scarier." Hinamori whispers breathlessly, and Toushirou nods his head.
"What is this other presence, I'm feeling? It gives me the creeps." Toushirou says, as he feels the presence of Szayel.
"Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ukitake are that way. You should probably rest, a little bit longer. You were quite drained of energy, and you're only now building it back up." Unohana warns him, and Toushirou blushes, because the memory of climaxing…
Kurosaki is pretty damned lucky.
"You learned the name! Do you know what it does?!" Yachiru chirps excitedly.
Kenpachi continues to fight against the imposter Nnoitra, and the six arms are a lot, though he doesn't feel overwhelmed.
"Yeah!" Kenpachi shouts, and Yachiru starts to bounce around, like a ball in a pinball machine, from tree trunk to rock, to the ground, and at another tree.
"Show me, Ken-chan!" Yachiru orders him, and Kenpachi scoffs.
"I don't need it to beat this ass wipe!" Kenpachi tells her, and Yachiru growls, since she doesn't like being denied what she's asking.
"I don't care! I want to see it, Ken-chan! Show me! Show me your shikai attack!" Yachiru demands, and Kenpachi smiles in the middle of battle.
"It could make things more interesting…" Kenpachi allows, and the Nnoitra imposter suddenly jumps back, as Kenpachi smiles victoriously. "Although it means you die for sure, this time." Kenpachi tells the imposter, with the finality quite clear in his voice.
"Yay! Ken-chan, Ken-chan!" Yachiru chants, with a super huge smile, and then she forces herself to sit still, so that she doesn't miss one bit of the magic that is her Ken-chan.
Kenpachi smiles widely, before he obliges his cute pink haired companion.
"Taiho Kyohaku, Botsuraku!" Kenpachi yells, and Yachiru watches in amazement.
All of the reiatsu in his body visibly flies into his zanpakutou, leaving him incredibly weak in the moment just before attacking, which is why Kenpachi loves and wants this attack.
It doesn't make him invincible, on the contrary, it gives his opponent one chance…and one chance only, to make their kill.
The moment is so brief though, that you might miss it if you were too busy being dazzled by the release.
A huge, round, burning light (star) is instantly formed, on the end of his zanpakutou, and then he swings it forward.
The light doesn't grab the Nnoitra imposter, instead, it stops right in front of him. It turns black with lightening bolts of light streaking through it, and then sucks the Nnoitra imposter, in.
Not only him, but the spirit particles that surround the imposter are all getting sucked in, too, at a high rate of volume. The lightening streaks of light quickly disappear within the blackness too.
This causes quite an effect on Soul Society, since the effect of his gravitational pull in his attack, can be felt far and wide.
Once sucked into the blackness, anything that enters its space, instantly shreds in half. Then those halves shred in half. Then those halves shred in half. Nothing that enters that space, is spared.
Everything that goes in, can never be seen, again. It lasts for under thirty seconds, before it collapses on itself, over and over again, until it's as wide around as Zaraki's palm, and then the remaining energy flows back into his zanpakutou.
Yachiru, for once…is speechless, as the attack was more than she could have ever hoped for.
"You know…I don't want to use this attack too often. Too many idiots out there, are mesmerized by the release of a zanpakutou. It may give the opponent a chance to kill me, but it means certain death for anyone I wish to erase." Kenpachi says, as he stares respectfully at his powerful Kure-ji-Burakkuho-Ru.
I always thought that the Shinigami who relied on their zanpakutou were weak, for not fighting on their own damned skills…but now I think I understand a little bit better, why they were so proud…and felt so much stronger.
Kenpachi is able to hold back a chuckle, as he has his next thought.
I can't even imagine what kind of effect I could have, if I ever learned bankai.
Yachiru nods mutely. Kenpachi walks over to her, and sticks her up on his shoulder.
"It's time to go and find Ichigo…we've stayed here, long enough." Kenpachi says, before he zooms off.
It was magnificent, Ken-chan…I'm so amazed…I still can't talk!
"What!? This can't be!" Szayel looks genuinely upset, which has everyone looking at him suspiciously.
"What the fuck is wrong with you now, you ugly freak?!" Hiyori shrieks angrily at him.
Szayel is concerned.
I was completely unable to collect data on that Shinigami…I can't seal him! I have to act now!
"The time has come, for you all to experience what it means, to oppose Szayel Aporro Granz." Szayel says in a rushed voice.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Kenpachi asks casually, and Szayel gasps at the same time as Kensei.
For different reasons, though. Kensei can't believe the guy is so energetic after he put him out of commission. His wounds are healed, and his reiatsu is significantly stronger, and that's saying a lot, considering it was monstrous before now.
Szayel stares at Kenpachi in shock.
He can move that fast?!
"I'm here to take over, and succeed where Aizen failed…" Szayel says, and he growls.
All of the subordinates that I've already released, are dead! I have to bring in the second wave! And…I have to die by the hands of that Shinigami…the only way to analyze his reiatsu is to die…but I only have eight more embryos prepared…if I can't take one of their bodies…I could actually die here! I really will have to use...that. After I analyze this fool's reiatsu.
"That won't happen." Byakuya finally speaks, in an angry voice, with flashing eyes.
"You can't kill me, I think I've already proven that." Szayel says, and he eyes Kenpachi.
"What? You want to fight me? Very well. I'll fight you." Kenpachi says, as he rips Yachiru off of his shoulder and practically whips her at Byakuya, who catches her, against his will.
"Kenpachi…" Ichigo says, but Kenpachi glares at him.
"Don't interfere." Kenpachi orders Ichigo, who simply nods. Everyone backs down a bit.
"Do it again, Ken-chan! I want to see it again!" Yachiru chirps, and Kenpachi scoffs.
"Didn't I tell you I didn't want to use it often?" Kenpachi calls back, and Yachiru yanks on Byakuya's hair, as he tries to set her down. He's unsuccessful in getting her off of him, because she's got a firm hold on his hair.
"I want to see it again! Didn't you hear me, Ken-chan! Show Icchy!" Yachiru yells, and Kenpachi charges forward, without following Yachiru's orders.
"You will be just as ineffective as that Shinigami, you'll see." Szayel announces, before he calls for the second force of fighters to come through.
"His breathing is slow." Unohana says worriedly as she stares at the Captain Commander.
It's taking far longer to heal him than I thought it would take. Might he actually die?
"Something is happening…I need to go." Toushirou says, and Hinamori nods.
"If Soul Society is under attack, then we should go offer our assistance!" Momo says, but when she tries to stand, she begins to sway, and she falls back over.
"Both of you need much more rest. You don't seem to understand, but you were drained of your reiatsu. You need to give your body a bit longer…or else you'll die, trying to fight." Unohana says, effectively ending their struggles to get moving.
"I guess we need to wait, Hitsugaya-kun." Hinamori says, and a few veins pop out on his forehead.
"It's not Hitsugaya-kun, it's Captain Hitsugaya." He corrects her, and she rolls her eyes.
I'm still your big sister, and no matter how powerful you are, it will always be Hitsugaya-kun.
"You're right, of course, but once we're recovered, we'll go and fight together, Hitsugaya-kun." Hinamori says, and Toushirou's head slumps in defeat.
It's not like I can do anything about it. She's family…and you're not supposed to kill family…
Suddenly, everyone's attention is drawn away from Szayel and Kenpachi, as more enemies appear, to fight on Szayel's behalf. They look the same as the last ones, too.
Yachiru refuses to fight, since she wants to watch Ken-chan.
Kenpachi cuts Szayel apart very quickly, and scoffs that the man was so cocky. He looks into the sky, at Ichigo, in his bankai cloak.
Ichigo is flying around, slashing at enemies, while Ukitake is disposing of them completely, before they can release gas of any sort. His hollow is of course, bitching.
You let him take your prey, King!
"It doesn't matter, he'll be back, even if Kenpachi does kill him." Ichigo says in a troubled voice, and his hollow sighs with annoyance in his head.
If it were me, I'd just keep killing him until he no longer had that ability, kind of like how I could keep fucking Rukia-chan over and over again.
Ichigo is a bit annoyed that his hollow is talking about fucking Rukia in the midst of battle.
"I don't call that cooperating…" Ichigo grumbles, and his hollow is clearly annoyed with him.
Cut me some fucking slack, King! You know how good it feels inside of her! Kill these shit heads faster, the quicker we finish up here, the sooner we can get back to Rukia-chan and her…needs.
Ichigo blocks out his hollow, since he's obviously not interested in these pathetic opponents that they're all slaying rather easily. He doesn't want to wonder when he'll be able to hold Rukia, naked in his arms again right now. He just wants to survive to be able to have the chance to do so, again.
A/N-About Zaraki's shikai attack…
Taiho Kyohaku Botsuraku means Degenerate Star, Collapse. The name of that attack, is how a black hole in the universe is created. Hopefully that makes what happened, a bit easier to understand. The effects of an actual black hole, are practically identical to what I described for Zaraki's shikai attack.
You may think that's too powerful, but I remind you that Toushirou has a freaking dragon for his shikai…while the Captain Commander has a ring of fire…so I don't think I overstated Zaraki's power at all.
