Chapter 18- The Arrival of the Hollow Storm! An Old Foe back 100 Times Stronger!
Later that day, during the 1st period class, the new "students" were being introduced.
"Hello everyone," Rukia called out cheerfully, "I'm Kuchiki Rukia, please to meet you all!"
"She seems familiar," One student muttered.
"God, she still acts like that?" Ichigo thought as he sighed.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yusuke Nanu," Nanu chirped, "I'm so happy to meet you!"
"Damn, that girl is hot!" A guy whistled.
"What I wouldn't give to go out with her!"
"Go for it, she seems like the type to kick your ass if you do,"
Nanu's eyes twitched madly but she smiled politely.
"They're probably fake," One girl whispered.
Nanu was in front of the girl's desk in a flash glaring down at her.
"What did you say?" She growled.
"Whimper" The girl gasped back.
"Hello everyone! I'm Hiriko" Cho called out happily winking to a few girls, "But the girls can call me 'Cho-chan',"
He walked down the aisle and bowed to each girl praising them until Ichigo personally kicked him to his seat.
"Idiot," Ichigo muttered.
"Hello everyone," Miho greeted a bit shyly but still cheerfully, "I'm Miho Clyne,"
"She's got nice legs,"
"And that hair,"
"Wow she's hot!"
"Nanu's hotter, but she is a head-turner!"
Just as Miho took her seat Shinn stumbled into the room. His hair was a mess and several numbers had been scrawled onto his wrist and he had several smudged bits of lipstick across his cheek.
"Um…I'm sorry I'm late," Shinn apologized, "A bunch of girls tried to…"
"Name?" The professor interrupted impatiently.
"Oh! Sorry, Ichijoji Shinn," Shinn replied standing straight.
"You're kinda short for high school," The professor remarked.
"Um…sorry," Shinn said slouching over in embarrassment as he walked to his seat.
"Hello Shinn-chan!" Nanu called out waving.
"Make sure to meet us at the back door Shinn-chan!" Miho added.
"You lucky bastard!" Several students screamed, including Cho.
"Eh?" Shinn squeaked as several students crowded around him demanding to know how he knew who the two were.
"M-my, Shinn-kun is popular!" Orihime remarked.
"Mizuiro, looks like you got competition," Chad remarked.
"Well it's worth it to see Asano go crazy on some other guy," Mizuiro remarked.
"What a bunch of idiots," Tatsuki sighed, "Going crazy over another cute guy is not healthy,"
"Tch, more shinigami trash," Ishida muttered under his breath.
"Um…will everyone return to their seats?" The professor asked.
Suddenly a flurry of cell phones suddenly began ringing.
Miho, Shinn, Nanu, Rukia, and Cho all pulled out their Soul Society phones.
"Hey!" The professor cried, "Cell phones are strictly forbidden!"
"Um…sorry sensei but I have to go to the bathroom!" Shinn cried.
"Me too!" Nanu added.
"Um…" Miho began but Rukia stopped her.
"Two will be enough to handle one spirit," She whispered so that no one else could hear, "This is better, they won't suspect anything if we take turns,"
"Let them go," Cho agreed, "If Shinn's gone more girls will focus on me!"
Meanwhile Shinn and Nanu ran towards the location of the order.
"Hope this thing works!" Shinn cried pulling out a small pill.
Flashback
"This is a special form of soul candy in that your body will merely expel you spirit then return to a designated area," Urahara explained, "However you will only have three hours as a shinigami and after that you will be immediately returned to your gigai, you must wait at least one day before taking another pill or else when your gigai expels your spirit you will not be able to control your spirit power, making you a threat to everyone around you,"
End Flashback
"Here we go," Shinn murmured popping the pill into his mouth.
A flash of light shot out and Shinn saw himself literally peel away from his body.
He looked down and found himself once again dressed in his familiar black uniform along with his zanpaku-to secured at his side.
Nanu followed his example and transformed into a shinigami as well.
"Let's go!" Shinn cried as he started forward.
"Wait!" Nanu yelled grabbing his shoulder.
"What?" He asked worriedly.
Their bodies crawled back up to their feet and slowly trudged down the street toward Urahara's shop.
"So cool," Nanu remarked.
"Um…okaaay," Shinn sighed.
The two resumed their quick run towards the hollow's location.
"What's the soul pressure level?" Shinn asked.
"900," Nanu replied, "Pretty high for a material world hollow but we probably won't have to use our shikai's against it,"
They found themselves in a large clearing that must have, at one point been a park of some kind.
"This is odd," Nanu murmured, "The reading says it should be right here,"
"And it's right!" A voice snarled.
A tall heavily built hollow burst out of the ground and loomed over them. It was powerfully built and had a face that was twisted in an inhuman expression of absolute glee. Throughout its body several stitches ran along its body as though it had been sown together from many pieces.
"MuscleCrunch…" Shinn whispered.
"Who?" Nanu asked.
"He…he was the first hollow I fought…but I cleansed him, he shouldn't be here!" Shinn murmured.
"That's right," The hollow sneered flexing his hand tightly, "But Aizen-dono saved me…and recreated me into something much stronger!"
He punched forward and would have crushed Shinn completely had he not thrown himself back.
"See?" The hollow cackled, "Using only a fraction of the strength I has you scrambling for cover!"
"Unleash your fury upon the world, 4th Spell Burn!" Nanu cried shooting a ball of fire out slamming right into the hollow's side sending it crashing to the ground.
"You shouldn't underestimate us," Nanu growled.
"Tch, you guys are nothing," MuscleCrunch sneered as he stood back up.
"Oh?" Nanu shot back, "Then why lure Shinn and me out here? So that you would have at least a sliver of a chance in beating us?"
"Haha!" The hollow laughed, "You think you guys are special?"
He slammed the ground with his fist bringing up a massive boulder that he easily palmed as though it were a football.
"The reason why I lured you all the way out here…" He began as he crushed the boulder till nothing but fine dust slipped through, "Is so that my friends could eat yours!"
"What!" Shinn thought anxiously.
Back at school all the windows shattered and a horrible wail could be heard across the hallways.
All of the shinigami's phones began to ringing again except now they were practically tearing themselves apart with the sudden flow of hollow's detected.
"W-what's going on!" Rukia whispered as her phone shrieked helplessly as the orders poured in.
"Mine too," Cho added.
"Will you please turn off your phones!" The professor shouted over the wailing.
"I'm sorry sir but we have to go," Ichigo replied running out of the class, "Let's go!"
Miho, Cho, Rukia, and Ichigo all ran out before anyone could say anything.
"Sado-kun," Miho called out.
"Yeah," Chad replied agreeing to the unspoken request.
The two stood and ran towards the door.
Before exiting she spun around and regarded Ishida.
"Ishida-kun, aren't you coming?" She asked worriedly.
"Um…no, I'd best stay behind," Ishida mumbled looking down at his feet.
"Ishida…" Orihime whispered before she heard Chad call out to her.
Meanwhile back at the plain…
"Damn!" Nanu snarled as she flew back and landed on her feet.
"Hehe…not so easy now is it?" MuscleCrunch snarled as he raised both his arms.
He slammed them down creating a column of energy to shoot out and send Nanu scattering for cover.
"Burst, Raikaze!" Shinn cried.
His sword shuddered violently before it transformed into its gunblade form.
"Transformation's becoming more and more erratic!" Shinn thought frustrated, "I have to focus!"
He swung down towards his opponent but suddenly MuscleCrunch disappeared and reappeared right behind him.
"Last time I was nobody," MuscleCrunch hissed, "Now I'm strong!"
He backhanded Shinn into the ground where he tumbled and rolled until he slammed into a tree.
"Agh!" Shinn gasped as blood poured out from his mouth.
"Shinn, dammit!" Nanu snarled, "Double-handed knife strike!"
She split into her two copies and swung down from opposite ends but MuscleCrunch easily used his shuunpo again and avoided the cuts.
"Look out!" Shinn cried.
MuscleCrunch reappeared from above and lashed out with his foot catching Nanu across the chest sending her crashing into the ground.
"Dammit!" Shinn swore, "You're not going to hurt her!"
He reared back and unleashed a wave of spirit energy that merely ricocheted off the hollow's thick hide.
"Too bad," MuscleCrunch sneered, "You'd better get stronger!"
"He doesn't have to," Nanu cried as she struggled up, "Unleash Shudako 2! Ascend shikai!"
She held her dagger together and slid one hand down. A second dagger, identical to the original, peeled away revealing two equal and twin daggers in both her hands.
"Let's take this to the next step shall we?" Nanu growled as suddenly six copies behind her appeared.
"Agreed," MuscleCrunch replied grinning as he suddenly plunged his hand thought the hole in his chest.
With great effort he slowly pulled out a massive zanpak-to from the hole in his chest and lifted it easily with one hand.
"Nanu!" Shinn cried, "Be careful!"
"Aren't I always?" She smirked playfully.
She and her other six clones ran towards MuscleCrunch with the intent to kill.
