Chapter 3: Advanced Hollows encountered.
May 27, 2014, Gotham City, 8:00 AM
Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Ikakku and Yumichika are finding someplace to eat. A kind of place where it's not too expensive but not too cheap either and they want something "American" like to fill their stomachs. Ichigo looks around found a not-too-shabby cafe, it ain't fancy or anything but this will do. They enter the cafe and they were greeted by the owner.
"Welcome to Jack's Cafe, I'm Jack please have a seat." he greeted
The Team nodded and find their seats, they sat and look up their menus. The Menu consists of Cheeseburgers, French Fries, Hotdogs, Chili Dogs, Pizza, Tators, Donuts, Desserts, Fried Chicken, basically every junk food you can think of.
Ichigo is disgusted at this saying "Man, no wonder why people in America are so fat." he stops looking at the menu for now and sees that Rukia, Renji, Ikakku and even Yumichika are drooling their mouths in delight while looking at their menu. Ichigo thought about it and said "well we are in America after all. And like Yoruichi said, we should enjoy this to the fullest, so there's nothing harm of trying these out at least."
The Waiter goes to their table and asks "May I take your order?"
Ichigo faced at the waiter and said "oh yeah, we are tourists here so uhh... do you have any recommendations here."
"... I see." The Waiter said, he thought about it and then said "please wait a moment, we'll give something that we truly recommend." he goes back to the kitchen for their order.
Renji, Rukia, Ikakku and Yumichika are definitely looking forward to this.
"I may be looking forward to this but, for the sake of my beauty, i must not gain too much weight." Yumichika proudly said. The four of them are dumbfounded at what he just said.
"Well it doesn't matter, what matters is is that i get to eat all of it and no share for any of you." Ikakku proudly smirks.
Renji and Rukia are enraged by this. "WHAT! ARE YOU NUTS!? I'M STARVING TO DEATH HERE!" Renji shouted.
"YEAH! LEAVE SOME FOR US! I WANT TO EAT A CUTE CHAPPY THE RABBIT-SHAPED SUNDAE SUPREME!" Rukia shouted as well.
Ichigo looks at Rukia dumbfounded and whispers "that's not even a thing."
"WELL I'M A LITTLE MORE SELFISH TODAY SO HOW ABOUT YOU HAVE THE BONES AND THE REST OF THE JUNK AND I'LL HAVE THE REST!." Ikakku shouted back.
"WHAT!? NO WAY!." Renji shouted back as well.
Renji, Rukia and Ikakku arguing on which shall have all the food. Ichigo is starting to get annoyed by this and had an annoyed mark on his head.
He growls and said "Will you guys shut up!, we will definitely be kicked out because of you three. This is our first trip and our first time eating here and I don't want this to turn into a disaster. got that!?"
Renji, Rukia and Ikakku looks at Ichigo, with no choice they nodded and started to calm down.
Ichigo whispers "Thank God." he relaxes a bit while waiting for their order.
Bakery Shop, Gotham City, 11:00 AM
"FUAH! SOOO GOOD!" Orihime screams in delight as she took a delicious cupcake into her mouth. Yoruichi saw this and couldn't agree more, she had never tasted a cupcake this delicious.
"I know right?" Yoruichi said while munching her cupcake.
"So, how do you like it?" the owner of the bakery said.
"It's great Miss!" Orihime said in delight. "Are there more?" she questioned.
The baker smiled and said "yes, there is more. I'm so glad to have tourists like you two to enjoy my sweet little pastries."
Orihime chuckles sweetly and responded back "Thank you so much."
The Owner goes back to the kitchen to make some more for them. While they were enjoying themselves Yoruichi asks "Hey Orihime."
"Mmm?"
"What do you think of Ichigo?"
"Ichigo is so cool, he is strong, he is a great friend, he is-"
"That's great and all, but i'm talking about what you think of Ichigo as a Man. Do you love him or not?"
Orihime suddenly stops eating her cupcake and drops it off the plate, she then blushes in tomato and stutters.
"W-Well, i-i mean i-i i-i -i-i" She started stuttering repeatedly. Yoruichi snaps her fingers to wake up Orihime and asks.
"Well?"
Orihime with her head back down thought about it and said "I-I- I Love Him. with a blush on her face.
Yoruichi smirks and then Orihime continues.
"I love him, I love him so much, I can't stop thinking about him. His words, the way he touches me in a caring, comfortable manner, the moment we face and have a conversation, Everything about him gives me butterflies to my stomach." Orihime finally admits it. She confesses that she is in love with Ichigo Kurosaki.
Yoruichi asks "Since when did you fall in love with him."
"When i first meet him, everybody in our school judges him as a "delinquent" or "troublemaker" because of his natural-born bright orange hair. But i never judge him for that since he and i are the same. I was in fact bullied for that after my big brother died, they even cut my hair using brute force." Orihime said
Yoruichi's finger twitched but decided to say nothing and keep on listening to her.
Orihime continues "it wasn't until i met my first true best friend Tatsuki who is also a childhood friend to Ichigo and i decided to get to know him. And the more i spend time with him, the more i admire him and even had a crush wit him. Underneath his bad-boy persona, he is very protective, caring and gentle about me. One time where i got bullied by the girls where Tatsuki is not there, Ichigo rushes in and protect me, although he doesn't hit them, he just outright scares them and threatens that if they lay a hand on me, Ichigo would not hesitate to beat them up to a pulp, so they apologize to me and i have never seen them lay a hand on me since."
"Another time where i almost got harassed by some random stranger until Ichigo shows up and beats him up to a pulp. He asks me if i'm okay but at that time, my clothes got ripped, he turns his head away and gave me his school coat."
"There is this time where I got my leg injured during a volleyball class. Tatsuki helps me but Ichigo… w-well he bridal c-carry me" Orihime blurts it out with embarrassment. Her cheeks are red as a tomato and continue "whi-while he was bridal carrying m-me to the nurse room, h-he asks "a-are you okay?" i nodded, he -then-then put his face a b-bit closer to m-me and-and s-said "a-are you sure?" At this moment Orihime couldn't take it anymore and her face started to heat up so much that i'm sure everybody could smell it around the bakery.
Yoruichi calms Orihime down and brings her a glass of water. She breathed calmly this time and decided to take her time to continue.
Orihime said "Thank you." now she continues "He is very good when it comes to children, specifically to his two sisters a-and he is not a delinquent. Many people push that idea but he's not, the reason why he's going a lot of fights is either through self-defense or hurting the innocence. He got high grades and is studying hard not just because he wanted to succeed but also because he doesn't want to deal with any more problems. His orange hair is causing trouble so he doesn't wanna add more by having low grades"
"During the Rain, Me and Tatsuki decided to hang out at my house, i ask Tatsuki what was Ichigo like back then. She stated that Ichigo was a crybaby, he was bad at karate and she even defeated him when they spar but whenever he cries, his mom came and well… he stopped crying as if he never cries to begin with. It was all okay until, the incident happens… her mother… died that day."
Yoruichi widen her eyes in shock and then convert her face that expresses empathy.
Orihime took a deep breath and keeps on continuing "After her mother died, Tatsuki stated that that is the last she saw Ichigo broke down in tears." Orihime then took a deep breath again and says "I understand what he feels, i lost a brother as well. I think that's why he was so driven on protecting others… including his loved ones."
It then turns to silence and Yoruichi is processing Orihime's story. Now that she thought about it, both of them have some similarities. They're both bullied because they have different hair colors, they lost a loved one and now desire to protect the ones they love. The difference is that from Yoruichi's perspective, Ichigo protects someone by brute force and ensures that they're safe meanwhile, Orihime wanted to protect others but she is the one that is protected. Like Knight protecting a princess.
"That's why i want to understand more about him, i want to be by his side no matter what. I want to get stronger, strong enough to protect him." Orihime said.
Yoruichi smiles and thought that even though a knight always protects the princess that doesn't mean the princess is useless and is trying her best to be useful and less of a hindrance. In fact most of the time, the Princess is the one who lends support from the knight that needs it and even protects them.
"I know this may be selfish of me but, i-i'm really jealous of Rukia, she is strong, tomboyish like Tatsuki, not to mention she… she is close to Ichigo and in fact sleep in the same *sobs* room as him. I just don't think i have a chance… but, as long as… *sobs* as long as Ichigo's happy and i'm still *sobs* friends with him, i think i'm okay with that." Orihime said but with tears on her face. Even though she loves Ichigo, she realized that his happiness matters and if he chose Rukia or any other girl, then great, she'll wish him and his future partner for the best even though deep inside her heart, she will never like it.
Yoruichi shook her head and said "That may not be true Orihime. You can't know unless you have made a move. Also, you don't need to worry about Rukia, She confirms that both she and him are just friends, a sibling relationship.
Orihime looks at Yoruichi and dried her tears with hope on her face "R-Really?"
Yoruichi nodded "Yes, i'm not guaranteed that he will like you back, but if you don't make a move and confess your feelings to him now, you'll have a slim chance after this and who knows, maybe you'll regret it later for not exposing your true feelings to him. What better chance to confess right now is here in America.
"But aren't we on a Mission?" Orihime asks
"Sure but, we are also having fun. It's not like we are going to work every time and then."
"And besides, what better way for a man and woman fallen in love, kissing, cuddling, taking each other's clothes off and do some naughty, lewd things in bed than here." Yoruichi said it without shame and Orihime thought of the image where Ichigo is on top of her in bed naked, while Orihime lies down and is naked as well and she's ready to get pounded by Kurosaki- Kun. she blushed as red as a tomato when she thought of that image but she couldn't help to admit that it was a good image.
"Orihime it doesn't have to be right now, just take your time and confess when you feel it's right but don't wait for too long where we all return to japan. Just believe in yourself but also take things with a grain of salt. Once the time is right. You can confess your love, Understand?" Yoruichi stated.
Orihime nodded.
"Good"
And now both of their orders are served. Will Orihime make a move and confess, we'll never know.
Department Store, Gotham City, 2:00 PM
Both Rangiku and Toshiro are in a department store, buying some fashionable clothes, Rangiku got the most clothes out of it, trying from dresses to jackets to pants to bikinis and so on and so forth. Toshiro is just going to buy a hoodie and pants and that's it. That's not to say he didn't like these clothes nor he thinks they look terrible but he had a simple sense of fashion out of all the groups that's why. With Rangiku getting out of the dressing room, wearing a cowgirl suit and asks.
"How do i look?"
Toshiro responds "looks cool."
Rangiku pouted and said "seriously? You say that every time i change clothes, can't you think of a different complement even just for once?"
"Ummm… looks nice?" Toshiro with both of his arms shrugs and an awkward smile on his face.
Rangiku roll her eyes and said "whatever"
She grabs all the clothes she brought and put it in a cart, it was time to go to the cashier.
Both of them go to the cashier until Rangiku stops and Toshiro looks at Rangiku and said: "Hey, you all right there?"
He looks at Rangiku's face and her eyes wide, he looks at where her eyes are pointed and… he gets it now. There was a Black and White T-shirt named "GIN"
Rangiku with her head down and her eyes became hollow. Toshiro comforted her and feels a bit better this time, they then go to the cashier and bought all the clothes and exited the department store, although they won't forget the t-shirt name on it, why did Gin decide to betray the entire Soul Society and work for Aizen, we'll never know.
Gotham City, 3:00 PM
The Group are currently satisfied with their Fun Time. Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Ikakku and Yumichika after they had a great meal, decided to go to various locations in Gotham City. The Park, The Beach, The Mall, you name it.
Orihime and Yoruichi after testing various sweets in every bakery shop decided to go to the department store that Rangiku is going to.
Rangiku and Toshiro after they went shopping decided to go to Theatres and watch a newly released One-Hour Romance Movie. After watching it though, the two had mixed feelings. Toshiro find it cheesy and just not his cup of tea whereas Rangiku loved it a lot and found it very cute.
Toshiro smiles and thought "but hey at least, she's smiling for now". After that both of them go to a cafe to get something to eat before they meet up with the group and find someplace to stay.
Gotham City, 5:50 PM
Ichigo and his friends finally reunite and ask "So, how's your time guys?" to which Toshiro replied.
"It's… fine." while he carries three shopping bags with one hand
"IT WAS AWESOME!" Rangiku responded back with eight shopping bags in both of her hands.
"I can tell that with THAT many bags" Ichigo thought.
"We even went to theatres to watch a Romance film and it was sooo good! Seriously, there was this scene where the main girl got bullied and then the main boy protected him, the main girl gazes upon him as her heart beats so loudly and looks at the main boy like he was a knight in shining armor.
In another scene where both of them study for the upcoming exam and both of them tries to reach the eraser and suddenly their hands are held, they blush so redly like I think they're gonna turn into a tomato.
Oh and this final scene and my favorite scene of all, where the main girl confesses her love for the main boy and the main boy accepted it and said: "I love you and i will always be by your side, mind, body and soul."
AHHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT, IT'S SO ADORABLE"
"So cheesy and cliche Isn't that like every Romance movies here even in Japan." Ichigo thought with a deadpan expression.
"Orihime and I go to most bakery shops or even vending carts to try out some sweets, sugary delish. We even shop on a department store that Rangiku goes."
"I see" Ichigo said
"THEY WERE SOOO GOOD! Take this cupcake for instance, they're so fluffy, so clean, and *nom* Taste soooo Delicious!" Orihime screams in delight as she took a bite of her cupcake.
"We even brought plenty of sweets for you guys, Want some?" She asks.
"Erm, we'll take it later," Ichigo responds.
"How bout you guys? What're you all doing while we're out?" Rangiku asks.
"We were eating at a cafe we found, we found loads of people staring at us thanks to these two idiots' table manners." Ichigo said while pointing his thumb to both Ikakku and Renji.
"Eheheheh" Renji awkwardly laugh while scratching his cheek with his finger
"Hmph, Can't help it ya know" Ikkaku stated.
"Ichigo rolls his eyes and said "We've gone to various places. From Parks to beaches to malls. We were just exploring the place that's all. Anyways, we were going to stay here to complete our mission right? So, where are we staying?"
Toshiro stated and The Team looks at him "Oh that, we have made reservations for that thanks to the Soul Society. Follow me"
The Team nodded and follows Toshiro.
Gotham City, 6:00 PM
The Team follows a medium-tall hotel building but this hotel had a different aura to it, Is that Hotel full of… Spiritual Pressure?.
They enter the entrance and The owner said "Welcome si- Captain Toshiro!?"
"How are you doing?" Toshiro asks
"I'm fine sir, i didn't even know that you come this early, i thought you and your group would come by tomorrow."
"Well we have no time to waste. So, you have our keys?"
"Why yes of course" As the owner give two keys to Toshiro.
Toshiro asks the team "Shall we go?" The Team nodded and they follow him to the elevator, they waited inside the elevator until it's open they follow suit and there's their room. Number 102 on the right and Number 103 to the left. Toshiro opens the 102 door and sees it's a medium-sized room with 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 living room and 2 bathrooms for each boys and girls.
"Hmm, this is not bad?" Ichigo thought.
"One of the Bedrooms had a bunk bed so that makes it 4 of us each living in there." Toshiro stated.
"I'll sleep in the couch." Ichigo said.
"Okay then so, Number 102 is for Orihime, Ichigo, Rukia and Renji."
Orihime froze at what Toshiro said and blush in red. She thought "W-What!? I'm in the same room as Ichigo? I know Renji and Rukia is there but, to b-being the s-s-same room as Ichigo is… is." She stutters and blushes as red as a tomato.
Ichigo looks at Orihime and asks "You okay?"
Orihime comes back to reality and faces Ichigo with Red cheeks on her face, She waves both of her hands comedically and said "N-No! Not at all, I-I'm good."
"You sure?" While cocked his eyebrow.
"Y-Yeah you don't need to worry about me" Orihime said while taking a deep breath, her face is no longer flushed red but she thought "Phew, that was close"
Ichigo shrugs and listens to Toshiro.
"That leaves us the four us to Room Number 103 on the left." Toshiro said and looks at, Rangiku, Ikakku and Yumichika.
"But wait, what about Yoruichi, where' she stayin-" Ichigo ask but was interrupted by Yoruichi and said.
"I'm staying with them of course." She stated but with a manly voice tone.
They look at Yoruichi and they saw her in her cat form. She turns into a cat and her entire clothes disappeared without a single trace.
"I wonder she kept all her clothes now that i think about it" Ichigo thought.
"I'll sleeping on the couch, Ikakku and Yumichika you get the bunk bed and Rangiku you get the last bed" Toshiro said.
Yumichika raised his hands and said "No! No! No! I'm never going to sleep next to this guy ever again, he snores so hard that not even covering my ears with two pillows or cotton will work"
Ikakku shouted at Yumichika "HEY I DON'T SNORE! I-"
Just as Ikakku retorted, Ichigo pulled out his phone and play a voice recorder and it record Ikakku's snore and it was very LOUD. Like SO LOUD.
Ikakku stops retorting and listens to his snore at the voice recorder with a shocked expression on his face and said: "that-that's my snore?"
"It's reality, face it" Yumichika said it straight to the face of Ikakku.
"This is during the time you took a nap at the airport, loads of people can't fall asleep or are annoyed at how loud your snoring is so we fill your mouth with stuff and that shuts you up" Rukia said.
"W-what kinds of stuff"
"I won't tell you"
"Alright Ikakku you sleep in the couch, Yumichika you sleep on the single bed, and I and Rangiku will sleep on the bunk bed, Yoruichi you sleep in our window or something."
Rangiku smirks teasingly and said "Really? Hope you never do something illegal while i'm asleep captain"
Toshiro's cheeks flushes red, knowing what Rangiku said and shouts "Y-You're wrong! I won't do anything like that! I-i mean i'm not even that kind of man to begin with!"
"Whatever you say Captain" Rangiku winks and Toshiro is getting more flushed in frustration. He took a deep breath and calms down and said.
"A-Anyways *ahem* i hope we fulfill our mission and catch Aizen once and for all"
The Team nodded and Toshiro stated "Now let's get some rest everyone, it seems that this day has no hollows attacki-"
HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW HOLLOW
They look at their badge and it seems that Toshiro is wrong, there are hollows a bit nearby. The Team took their mod soul except for Ichigo who took his badge instead and Orihime who didn't take her soul out of her body.
The Mod soul who took their gigai for now hides in their room except Ichigo who took his physical form to his room. Now in their Shihakusho outfit and their zanpaktou sheathed. They exited the hotel and go to where the hollows come from. BUT, before that, CYoruichi lends out masks to every member of the team. It was a black mask that can cover the entire face with yellow eyeglasses on each side of the mask. This mask helps so they can avoid causing trouble for people who can see hollows and superheroes that can know their identity.
Gotham Park, 6:15 PM
The Team goes to Gotham Park and there are 15 hollows. The Team split up to 3 groups. First Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime. The second is Ikakku, Yumichika and Renji. The Third is Rangiku, Toshiro and Yoruichi. They split up and go defeat five hollows each.
*Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime*
Four hollows rampaging two wounded little girls and was about to get caught until.
"SLASH!"
Ichigo grabs the hilt of his zanpaktou, Zangetsu and cut one of the hollows hand.
"Orihime! Heal them" Ichigo said
Orihime nodded and proceeds to heal them. "Don't worry you are all safe" with a gentle, assuring smile on her face.
The two innocent girls are crying out of hope and said "Thank you miss"
"You're Welcome. Now after heal the two of you run out of here as fast as you can, okay?"
They nodded and their wounds completely healed.
One of the hollows roar and proceed to charge at Orihime only for it to be-
"SLASH!" by Rukia with her zanpaktou unreleased for now. She slashed right straight to the mask and the hollow disappeared.
"Let's Finish this Rukia" Ichigo said.
Rukia nodded and the duo slashes three remaining hollows sending them straight back to the soul society once and for all.
"I think that's it" Ichigo said.
After Orihime healed the two, they thank her for healing them and defeating those invisible creatures. Orihime said no problem although she is not the one who defeats them. She told the two girls to run to the park exit as fast as they can and nodded. They ran.
"Looks like that's all of them" Ichigo said.
"But wait, it stated there are fifteen hollows and that's why we were grouped into three so we can attack five of them each. And we only attack four hollows, what happened to the last one?"
Rukia said.
"Who knows, maybe it goes to the other five so that makes it six or-"
*DOOM*
Ichigo was interrupted by strong spiritual pressure. It wasn't as strong as Kenpachi or any eleven captains even Toshiro but, it's still stronger than an average hollow.
"W-What is this spiritual pressure?" Rukia questioned.
"Is it a Menos Grande?" Ichigo asks
"N-No it doesn't. Even if it is, this spiritual pressure is different from a menos grande. It's weaker than a menos grande but it's different from any hollows we fought. It seems like an average hollow but it's beyond that."
"W-What's that supposed to mean"
"I don't know that's the best i can explain"
"Umm g-guys." Orihime said while pointing her finger on to a hollow but seems different.
They look at the creature and hold their guard up.
"Stay close and be carefu-"
"SLASH!"
Until Rukia was interrupted by claw slashing through her torso, the claw was dripping with green liquid.
Rukia suddenly drop between her legs in a prone position. She tried to move but it's useless.
"RUKIA!" Orihime screamed.
"WHY YO-"
Until he was interrupted again… only this time he dodged his claws.
"Rukia, are you alright? Orihime heal her"
Orihime nodded and she went to Rukia and heals her.
"Rukia are you okay?" Orihime asks.
"It hurts but, it's nothing." She responded.
The wound heals however there is one problem.
"Wh-what's wrong?" Orihime asks.
"I-I can't move!? The wound is healed yet, i can't move"
"WHAT!" Both Orihime and Ichigo screamed.
The Hollow laughs and charges at Ichigo with his claws.
Ichigo guards his sword up to block it. The Hollow looks like a regular hollow however there is one difference. There is tech and machinery on the right side of it's body from the head all the way up to it's foot.
"What kind of hollow is this?" Ichigo thought and The Hollow disappeared and appear right behind him. Thankfully Ichigo blocks yet again and move back a little to stay away from this newly-released mechanized hollow.
"He's too fast, guess i'll have to use-"
"Just leave it to me King"
Ichigo widens his eyes in shock and suddenly he saw a black goo inside of his eye fully covering it.
"Tch… Get the hell out of my mind, i don't need you.
"Oh i don't need you either but, what i do need… IS YOUR BODY!"
He began to struggle, struggling to keeping his sanity sane, fighting against his inner hollow so that he can control his body once more but, the inner hollow seems to put up a good fight and is trying his best to dominate Ichigo so that he can have his body.
"Grrgh! Grrr! Rrrgh!" Ichigo grabs his head hard and begins to shake. Desperately trying to hold on. The Mechanized Hollow charges at Ichigo while he still can and stabs him with his claw-
"I REJECT!"
It saw it's projectile only for the mechanized hollow to disappear and miss. Orihime wanders around where this mechanized hollow could be… only for it to appear behind her and tries to slash her with it's claws.
"ORIHIME WATCH OUT!" Rukia screamed.
"CLANG!"
Only for Ichigo to block it. He asks "You okay there Orihime?" with a forced smile on his face.
Orihime with her eyes wide but she nodded nonetheless.
"Good you stay with Rukia, i'll handle the rest."
Ichigo pushes his claw and cuts his arm then-
"SLASH!"
He deals the final blow to the right side of his mask.
"Did we do it?" Ichigo questioned.
"Yeah, i think we-" Rukia said until she froze while lying down, Orihime had a shock expression of her face and so does Ichigo.
This mechanized hollow heals. Regular hollows can't heal so how is this possible?
The Mechanized Hollow maniacally laughs and disappears.
"Tch.. where is he." Ichigo with his guard up, trying his best to catch that hollow. Is it behind again? from the front? From up?. He can't tell.
"I told you, just leave it to me King"
"Grr.. shut it, i'm trying to focus"
Suddenly the ground shakes Ichigo looks down and realized thankfully, he dodges quick enough and there it goes the mechanized hollow came from below the surface. How did he get there? Who knows.
Both Ichigo and this Mechanized hollow clashed their claws and sword. Ichigo is slashing up it's right arm and his right mask but it was no use in general as the hollow keeps healing and healing. So all he could do is to just dodge and slash.
Orihime is trying to figure out what she can do to help, she might fight alongside Ichigo but her projectiles are too slow and she may be just a liability what can she do?
As Ichigo keeps attacking it's right arm and right mask. She had an idea.
"Ichigo! What if you attack the left side of it's body." Orihime said
Ichigo thought of that before, the reason why he holds it on for now is that the machine might be indestructible but now, it might be worth a shot. Ichigo cuts it's mechanic left leg alongside it's claw and it worked, it's not indestructible as he thought and thankfully the mechanic itself cannot heal. He then cuts his right arm and leg and… it doesn't regenerate at all.
"Just as I thought, Rukia stated a regular hollow can't regenerate unless you're a menos grande however, what better way to remove the regeneration effect than that machine that regenerates the hollow." Orihime thought and screamed
"Go Ichigo!"
"Finish him off!" Rukia screamed as well.
"Right!" Ichigo responded back and release a bit of his spiritual energy all the way to his zanpaktou. Then, he shouts his signature move.
"GETSUGA TENSHO!"
"SWOOOOSH!"
One Getsuga Tensho was all it takes. The hollow disappears, passing through the soul society.
"Huff Huff Huff" Ichigo pants and said "Did-Did I get him?"
"Yeah, I-I think you did." responded back
"Phew, Thank God." As Ichigo lies down with one knee keeping him steady, Orihime catches up to him and began to heal him.
The rest of the Team meet up to see Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime but, they look a lot more exhausted than they do.
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you guys struggled with a low-level hollow" Ikakkucsaid.
"It's more than that, it's a regular hollow yes but, it has this tech and machinery stuff half of his body" Ichigo responded back.
"Tech? Machinery half of his body? We have never seen a hollow like that or maybe you're just imagining."
"It's the truth, look at Rukia, even her wounds have healed, she can't move a single finger"
"That seems... like a mystery, maybe it's Aizen's doing but we could only guess. Anyways, let's discuss this tomorrow, for now, let's go to our room and rest." CYoruichi said.
The Team nodded and after Orihime healed Ichigo, they head back to the hotel and decided to take a nap.
Upon the helicopter, inspecting the park. There it lies with a woman wearing a business suit and a tall, bald-looking man wearing a suit and tie as well. Smirking Villanously and said
"So those are Soul Reapers, they look interesting, especially the Orange hair one wielding a giant sword. Too bad every single one of them are wearing a mask though."
To be Continued.
