Chapter 8
Now the training arc will be a longer one since I wanted to go into both Issei and Ichigo since I wanted both of them to learn how to unlock their TRUE Bankai. Ichigo will have his true Bankai while Issei will be able to learn how to unlock his Bankai.
Also I wanted to add that Queen of the Duke, my Shadow King of Sekirei's and the Path of the Emperor will be getting some editing thanks to my beta reader so those three will be a bit slow updating.
Oh and I wanted to say that I figured out how to go my Gamer DXD I've been trying to go for awhile now. Might of the Magus will still be updated but I'm trying to expand it so I don't accidentally rush it. Third Psyqualia user shall return as well as Issei-Chan! But it'll be awhile so...I shall take Queen of the Duke, Shadow King of the Sekirei's, Fiendish Godslayer, and Death Battle will be postponed.
Anyway, onto the show!
Issei was in the makeshift forest as he kept trying to locate Muramasa but it wasn't easy since Muramasa knew how to hide himself in the forest before he felt Muramasa come from behind and try to slice his back.
"Gh!" Issei grunted as he narrowly escaped the strike as he tried to use his strings to capture Muramasa but failed as Muramasa dodged it and countered with his own attack that almost ensnared Issei but Issei dodged it before using his strings to get into the trees. Once he was situated in the trees, he summoned his bow and took careful aim at Muramasa.
'He knows all of my tricks with the strings so I can rely on them as I did against Soifon and the others. He said that I had to learn how to combine all of my powers but my Quincy bow and my Fullbring aren't compatible with each other since one is for far range while the other is suited for close quarter combat.' Issei said to himself as he fired his arrows at Muramasa, who was actually a clone which frustrated Issei before he saw multiple clones of Muramasa appear in the forest floor as Issei began to fire the arrows at the clones but it wasn't easy since the clones were able to use the strings to stop the arrows or deflect them away from their intended target.
Issei then began to see that his tree was being surrounded which forced him to leap and use his Hirenkyaku to try and get away from his opponent. 'Muramasa can't use my Quincy or Fullbring abilities so this means I still have a chance.' Issei said to himself as he took a breather as he was hoping that he put enough space between the two of them until he felt a string around his ankle as he was dragged away from his spot.
'What the? When did he?' Issei asked himself as he recalled the clones surrounding the tree he was shooting from but what he didn't know was that Muramasa laid a trap by wrapping a thin but strong string that even Issei couldn't see or detect around his left ankle.
Muramasa then smirked as Issei came out of the forest yelling until he was being forced to surrender by a sword pointed at his throat. "I win." The Zanpakto said as Issei sighed to himself as he looked down at his own failure until Muramasa poked his partner on the forehead
"Your going to beat yourself up but the reason why I challenged you is because you have to see your own weakness. Ever since you started training in using your powers you've been trying to stay on Ichigo's level or even Uryu's but the problem is that you'll never become as strong as them. Uryu has a much stronger affinity with his Quincy heritage and far more training than you. Ichigo on the other hand is a hybrid of both Hollow and Soul Reaper powers which means his own power is higher than even yours." Muramasa explained as he sat on the ground next to Issei as he revealed two strings. One large and thick while the other one was small and thin.
"The difference in your power is similar to these strings. When Ichigo Kurosaki first had his Zanpakto when Rukia gave him her powers then the sword reflected his own spiritual energy. His spiritual energy and reserves are massive and on par with that of a Captain while your spiritual energy and reserves are that of a Third Seat. You managed to not just defeat a Third seat that had the potential to become one but you also managed to defeat a Lieutenant along with being able to deal damage and came close to defeating Captain Soifon. Unfortunately your tricks won't be able to do anything against Soifon since her speed out speeds yours by a larger margin due to her being Yoruichi's student and also having far more experience than you." Muramasa explained which made Issei feel down as he learned that he wouldn't be strong enough to even get close to the Captains until Muramasa patted his head.
"However, your not weak. You have some strength and skills that you can use to counter or trap your opponents but that won't always work when a person is stronger, faster, or smarter than you. I was watching your battle against Soifon before Yoruichi brought you here and personally, the way you are now will not be enough to even overcome Soifon in the final battle. She has Bankai, and more tricks up her sleeve while you need to learn how to combine both your Quincy and Fullbring. Your Bankai will be your trump card to use against her but you need far more training and experience to properly use it. Given the time we have right now, we don't have very long which is why you must be prepared to do what you can." Muramasa said as he got up and summoned his Zanpakto.
"I will teach you how to better use your strings and there is actually a technique which will be able to help you gain an advantage over your opponents. Your step aunt didn't want to tell you this because of her fear that the Soul Society will attack you should they learn of it which is why I want you to only use it in extreme emergencies. Is that clear Issei?" Muramasa asked with a serious tone that made Issei nod in agreement with his partner as he stood up and summoned his bow.
"So what'll we do first?" Issei asked as Muramasa smirked at him.
"Simple. Teaching you how to combine your Hollow Energy and Ascalon's power with the Quincy bow." Muramasa said as the hellish training began.
Ichigo was clashing with Zangetsu as he was trying to find the real Zanpakto until the old man shook his head in disappointment as he clashed with Ichigo. "Is this really the limit of your resolve? You've picked up over a hundred copies of what you believed was your sword and yet it shattered right after clashing with me. You won't be able to unlock your Bankai. Not in this state." Zangetsu said as he looked at Ichigo panting heavily while looking at Zangetsu to try and defeat him but none of the swords he chose were the real one.
'This isn't good. If this continues then he'll be wasting his time. Even with the power he has now, Ichigo is not ready to face a foe like Byakuya Kuchki. Should I...' Zangetsu questioned as he knew that if Ichigo accepted the other side of him then it would give his partner a massive advantage over the Soul Reaper Captain but the problem was if the true entity of his power would be willing to help him.
[Hah! Why bother thinking about it? You know as well as o do that he needs both of us to take down that bastard. It's time we tell him the truth! The sooner the King knows of his heritage the better he will be when he gets some answers from his old man.] Hollow Ichigo said as he cackled happily inside of Ichigo's mindscape before Zangetsu lowers his sword and sighed at the hollows laughter.
"Ichigo. There is something you must know. The time we have and the way your struggling to find your Bankai is futile, which is why it's time I tell you about the true origins of your powers." Zangetsu said as he stabbed his sword in the ground and explained much to his partners surprise
"Usually Soul Reaper powers are passed through lineage, but there are some Shinigami that are an exception to that, and they are usually not that strong in comparison." The old man said before Ichigo asked him.
"So one of my parents or grandparents was a Shinigami?" Ichigo tried to clarify until Zangetsu explained.
"Correct. It was your father actually."
"WHAT?! How is that guy a Shinigami, he can barely run his own clinic, how the hell is that possible?" Ichigo yelled only to get a shrug from the old man.
"I do not know but what you should know is that you are a hybrid. A hybrid with a Shinigami, a Quincy, and a Hollow." Zangetsu said getting a mortified look from Ichigo.
"I-I-I'm I'm related to Ishida, Nooo, if, if I'm a Quincy do I have to wear those weird cloths too?" Ichigo groaned on in misery as a black cloud formed over his head.
Ichigo's Zanpaktuo watched with a large sweatdrop on the back of his head as he watched Ichigo get depressed over being a Quincy.
"Ahem." The man voiced sternly, getting the orange haired teen's attention.
"Sorry Zangetsu but this is...a lot of shit to take in." He replied doing a complete 180 on his original behavior getting a larger sweatdrop from the old man as he sighed at him.
"What do I do?" Ichigo asked his Zanpaktuo Spirit until Zangetsu replied to him.
"You should confront Ishida and ask him for some training or talk to your father about that." Ichigo's Zanpaktuo spirit informed causing Ichigo to think about confronting his father about something like this. 'I'll ask Ishida when I see him after this is over.' Ichigo quickly agreed to himself.
"As for your Hollow. Remember that the Hollow is a part of 'you', so don't suppress it, embrace it, don't fear it, because if you fear it, you will fear yourself in the process." The old man voiced philosophically getting an understanding nod form Ichigo until he heard cackling as he turned around to see the pale Ichigo he saw when he almost died against Kenpachi.
"Hehehe…Hello, Partner." The White Ichigo voiced with a psychotic grin.
"I can already tell who are. Your my hollow powers. Am I right?" Ichigo stated causing his white look-a-like's grin to falter slightly. "It's that's the case then why are you here?" Ichigo questioned getting an eye roll from the white Ichigo before he replied.
"That's simple. The old man thought it would be better for you to confront you." The Hollow replied as he explained his origin. "Before I begun, I want to ask you something. Do you think it's normal for someone to have both a Hollow and a Soul Reaper's powers along with Quincy abilities…Eh Ichigo?" The White look-a-Like questioned as Ichigo pondered a bit until he replied.
"That thought has occurred to me, but I just thought I was an anomaly." Ichigo said as the White Ichigo just chuckled lightly at him.
"HeHehe…you're an idiot as always Ichigo." The White Ichigo voiced. "Let me tell you, how it really happened. The truth is that you got your Hollow powers from your dear old mom." The hollow informed.
"What that doesn't make any sense at all!" Ichigo yelled before he held his white look-a-like by the helm of his white Shinigami garb. "Explain." Ichigo demanded as the Hollow just rolled his eyes before replying.
"Hehehe. You did get them from your mother. You see, long ago a Shinigami's quest for power caused him to try and create a Hollow/Shinigami Hybrid. This Hybrid attacked your mother and injected her with its own Reiatsu, transferring a portion of itself into her, Ichigo." The White Ichigo informed. "The Hollowfication started to convert your mother to a Hollow, but the process was stopped or sealed. Even though the Hollow Reiatsu was stopped from converting your mother into a Hollow, it was still able to move throughout her body. When you were conceived, the Hollow Reiatsu was able to infect your infant body. It latched onto you, fused with you." The White Ichigo finished with a psychotic grin.
"You attacked my mother!" Ichigo yelled before he tried to attack his White Hollow. Only to be held back his Quincy powers.
"Calm yourself Ichigo, The beast that attacked your mother and the being in front of you are two completely different people." The Quincy manifestation insisted.
"What he says is true, Ichigo. The beast that attacked your mother was a mindless puppet without any form of conscious thought." The White Ichigo insisted, causing Ichigo to calm down.
"So you were with me from the very beginning?" Ichigo asked.
"Of course I was idiot! Did you not just here my fuckin story!" The Hollow yelled.
"Geez. Sorry I asked." Ichigo muttered as the White Ichigo spoke to him.
"Now that, that's out of the way. It's time to give you our name." The White Ichigo stated.
"Wait, before that. I want to know what will happen to the others, if I use you as well, will it affect the the old man?" Ichigo questioned.
"No Ichigo." The old man stated. "While the Hollow and I are your sources of power, wielding both of us at the same time won't harm us in any way." The Quincy manifestation informed.
"Wait, you guys are stronger than other Zanpakto's?" Ichigo questioned before the old man nodded and explained.
"The reason 'We' are the most powerful Zanpaktuo you have, it's because of our natures. I, being the Quincy allows you to manipulate the Reiatsu and Reishi that surrounds us and pull it toward us constantly, and with the Hollow Passively absorbing the Spiritual Energy. Our powers are constantly growing which means you can become much stronger than you are now." The old man informed, causing Ichigo to nod in understanding.
"I…see." Ichigo muttered.
"That's not all, Ichigo." The White Ichigo voiced getting the orange haired teen's attention. "With me here, you'll get access to Hollow-like powers." The Hollow stated which made Ichigo confused some more.
"How does the work." Ichigo asked as the Hollow replied with a cackle.
"Oh, it's fuckin Easy. Just focus 'My' Reiatsu onto your face and you'll create a Hollow Mask. With that Mask you'll be kicking-fucking ass!" The hollow cackled out.
"If you're a Hollow, how come you're being so helpful?" Ichigo asked before the Hollow replied.
"While I am, Crazy, Insane and Blood thirst. I am you, deep down. I am you, your desires, your dreams, your fears, your hate, your love, your instinct, everything you are, I am. Short version: I'm just a more badass version of you!" White Ichigo ranted.
"Yeah, sure." Ichigo waved off before he readied himself. "Okay, I'm ready…for your name or names, whatever." Ichigo muttered.
"You already know our name. Ichigo…all you have to do is say it." The Quincy manifestation said causing Ichigo to focus.
"Engulf myself In the Darkness…to Protect the Light, Zangetsu (Slaying Moon)!" Ichigo announced as he was engulfed in pillar of light-blue Reiatsu, the Spiritual Pressure intensified shifting from light-blue to Black with a crimson outline, then shifted to a pure pitch black before fading revealing Ichigo. Who held a large black sword with a blade shaped like a Khyber knife, the handle of the sword was about as long and wide as Ichigo's forearm, there was a thin, hollowed-out portion running along the back edge of the blade from the base to the middle of the blade, in his left hand.
And in his right hand was a relatively small blade compared to the larger one, but the blade was about as large as Ichigo's arm and had a more Trench knife look to it, with a hand guard around the handle.
Ichigo felt his Hollow's Reiatsu coming from the larger blade and his Quincy Reiatsu coming from the smaller blade. The Orange haired teen glanced at the impressive blades, before looking at the sprits that inhabit the blade. "Thank you for putting your trust in me…Zangetsu." Ichigo voiced.
"You should know, Ichigo. If you get your ass handed to you, I will kick your ass. I don't want to be used by a weakling!" The Hollow yelled before cackling.
"Of course, Zangetsu." Ichigo stated. "Do you want me to give you guys a nickname?" Ichigo asked.
"Fuck no. Zangetsu is already a badass name!" The hollow yelled and Ichigo agreed it was a pretty cool name.
"Fine, how about I call you Shiro-Zangetsu (White-Slaying Moon), and you Kuro-Zangetsu (Black-Slaying Moon) because it will confuse the hell out of me to refer to you both as Zangetsu." Ichigo said to the Zangetsu Spirit.
"It is acceptable." The old man voiced evenly before the named Shirō spat back.
"Acceptable my ass, all you did was added colors to our name!" Shiro-Zangetsu yelled.
"What the hell is so bad about it?!" Ichigo yelled back.
"It fuckin sucks!" Shiro yelled as he head butted his head against Ichigo's who was looking at him annoyed.
"I don't see you coming up with anything better!" Ichigo yelled back.
"Because you asshole, Zangetsu was a fuckin badass name before you ruined it!" Shiro argued, the arguing would have continued but the two Ichigos were then tied up with some strings which made the two stop but the two Ichigos turned to face to who tied them up to see Issei standing there holding the strings with his gloves.
"If you two are done with your dick measuring contest then can you two lower the volume to a ten? I'm trying to train in using my powers and it's not easy hearing two banshees screaming at the top of their lungs." Issei said in an annoyed tone causing both of the Ichigos' eyes to twitch slightly before they pointed to each other.
"But this Cockbite started it/But this Asshat started it!" The two yelled at the same time.
"Oh you sorry ass motherfucker, you want some!?" Ichigo yelled as he readied his two Zangetsu blades.
"Now you're speaking my Fuckin language!" Shiro announced as he summoned his own sword, which was mirror perfect to Ichigo's large blade only it was white until Issei tied the Hollow up in more strings as the old man Zangetsu hit the top of Ichigo's head with his own blade.
"Ow! What was that for?" Ichigo asked before being cut off by the old man's glare. "Your friend is correct. Stop playing around and focus. We need to continue training you to unlock your Bankai. Thank you Issei Hyoudou. You may put him down now." Old Man Zangetsu said as Issei let Shirō go until he bowed to Kuro.
"Of course Kuro Zangetsu. My apologies for not being able to do much more but my powers are rather limited." Issei said as he took a look at his Shikai before Kuro Zangetsu patted his shoulder. "There is no need to apologize. Your training is helping you and granted you aren't a hybrid like Ichigo but you are getting stronger in your own way. Muramasa trusts you so trust in him." Kuro said before Issei bowed in response before leaving the two.
However as soon as he made his way to the bunker, Issei was suddenly dizzy as he felt himself being taken somewhere until he found himself in a jail cell while looking around to see what happened to him.
"Hello, Issei Hyoudou. I'm glad to see that it was successful." A voice said as Issei turned around to see Sosuke Aizen standing behind him with a small smile before bowing slightly. "My name is Sosuke Aizen and I would like to offer you something you need in order to combat your enemy." He said as Issei readied to defend himself but Aizen stopped him as he held a hand up and revealed he was unarmed. "Don't worry. I'm only here to talk. Not to fight."
Issei scoffed at him and replied. "Oh really? If that's the case then why did you fake your death and pin it on me? I was nowhere even near you when I 'supposedly' killed you. Also you worried Momo so much so tell me why I should believe or accept anything from you?" Issei asked as Aizen didn't seem fazed by the question before reaching into his haori and pulled out a cube of sorts that held a small dark purple marble.
Issei could fell its power radiating from the cube before looking at Aizen. "What is this?" Issei asked concerned for his safety before Aizen explained what it was.
"This is the Hogyoku. It will allow me to make your Fullbring even stronger. The problem is that your Fullbring is weaker here and won't be able to help you as much since it's power comes from Hollow spiritual energy. The Hogyoku will allow it to evolve and become even stronger for you to use against your enemies. You do wish to rescue Rukia Kuchki, no? If so then it would be foolish to turn down this gift I'm offering you." Aizen said as Issei looked at the cube for a moment until his body moved on its own as his hand reached out to touch the marble.
What was that old saying? Either make a pact with a god or deal with a devil.
Issei felt his Fullbring glow bright red as he looked at them take a different shape as they slowly morphed into a new pair of gloves. (Tsuna's Vongola gear minus the ring.) Issei was in awe of his new gloves before clenching them and looking at the devil he made a deal with. "What do you want in return. And before you say some bullshit like 'I don't owe you anything' then that's a load of bullshit right there. Everyone wants something so tell me what you want." Issei said before Aizen smirked as he was impressed by the boy and expected him to thank for the new power without thinking of the consequences.
'This boy is smarter than he lets on.' Aizen pondered before replying to Issei's question. "Simple. I want you to kill Mayuri Kurostichi. Do that and I also want to have a chat with you again when you and your friends leave the Soul Society after saving Rukia Kuchki. Can you do that?" Aizen asked as Issei looked at his gloves for a moment before clenching them.
"...I'll do it."
Squad 12: Mayuri Kurostichi's Personal Lab.
Mayuri was patching himself up before planning on his revenge against the Quincy that put him in such a state before he slammed his fists on the table in anger.
"Damn that Quincy. When I get my hands on him, I'll gladly enjoy dissecting him and seeing what makes him tick including those pathetic Ryoka. I'll make sure to enjoy myself while collecting the data from their bodies." Mayuri said in glee without noticing that he was being looked at by his soon to be assassin.
'I've already killed Yumichika. This guy definitely deserves to die.' Issei said in his mind as he had his bow ready and locked eyes with Maryuri before shooting an arrow at his throat which hit its mark as the scientist coughed blood before the scientists body was pulled up by some of Muramasa's strings before his neck was cut by the strings around it.
'Farewell.' Issei said to himself as he let the strings slice off his head before feeling the body go limp. The Fullbringer then walked into the lab and looked at the decapitated body and head before burning the dead scientist with a flaming Kido spell. "Enjoy Hell."
He then turned away from the body and looked at Aizen holding Nemu's unconscious body before Issei looked at him. "It's done. He's dead so I did my part of the deal."
"Good. And you won't tell anyone about our deal, correct?" Aizen said with a hidden meaning that Issei could see right away before he nodded.
"I promise. I won't mention our deal to anyone but you wanted to chat with me later on right? Why even talk to me? I thought you would've been more interested in Ichigo since he's a hybrid with all three races." Issei asked as Aizen before he spoke to him.
"Ichigo Kurosaki wouldn't have understood my reasons for what I do but you on the other hand are more observant of people. You play the act of the good person but deep down, your mask that you wear is just to hide your true self. You pretend to be nothing but a pervert however I can see your true self. You hide behind the mask because you hate the idea of betraying or lying to others since they go against your dream. Being a hero." Aizen said as he turned to face Issei and ask. "Tell me Issei Hyoudou. Do you believe the Soul Society is Heaven? Are the Soul Reapers heroes? Allow me to offer you some advice then. This world is nothing more but a cover to hide the sins of the past Soul Society and their captains."
"What do you mean hiding the sins of the past?" Issei asked as Aizen tossed Issei a flash drive of sorts before leaving the area.
"If you truly wish to know the truth and what the Soul Society has done then it's best you look at that flash drive when you get home. The captains now are far from innocent compared to their counterparts when the Head Captain and Unohana were captains of different squads." Aizen said before vanishing with Nemu before Issei looked at flash drive before pocketing it in his pants.
As he headed back, he recalled the words that Aizen had told him and questioned his dream. 'I really wanted to be a hero but am I a villain pretending to be a hero?' Issei asked himself before Muramasa spoke to him.
[I asked myself that same question when I was abandoned by my Koga.] Muramasa said much to Issei's surprise before Muramasa continued his explanation. [My power allowed me to bring out the Zanpakto spirits of others which I thought would be able to help the others understand their partners and realize we weren't simple tools but people as well who feel emotions too. Problem is Koga saw this as a way to control others and used my power to control other Zanpakto spirits and have them turn against their partners. Eventually when he was banished and hunted by the Soul Society, he tossed me aside in the World of the Living. Ever since then I questioned both myself and my power if I was guilty as well because of my power but after I met you and got to know you more and more, I began to realize that Koga was the one who abused my power just like how he abused other Zanpakto Spirits to attack their own comrades so I don't see you as a villain Issei. Sometimes heroes must do what others cannot do. It's similar to some of the other heroes in your shows that you watched with Irina. Know that even if Ichigo and the others don't trust you, know that I do and I'll always stand at your side.]
Issei smiled at his partners words before wiping his tears as he cried from the joy of hearing his partners past but how he sees him. "Thank you Muramasa. Thank you. You really are the best partner a guy like me can ask for." Issei said as he greeted Yoruichi at the bunker, before apologizing for being out for so long.
"Sorry but I lost track of time. Had to deal with a couple of Soul Reapers but I managed to evade them and made sure I wasn't followed." Issei said before he felt an unfamiliar feeling in the arena as he looked to see Renji training with Zabimaru.
"Is he on our side?" Issei asked as Yoruichi nodded with a smirk. "Yep but we have a problem. The execution was moved to tomorrow." Thai surprised Issei as he was then kicked in the back by Yoruichi, who was serious about this. "Now go get back to training. You got a long way to go before your ready for my pupil." Yoruichi said as Issei nodded in reply as he had Muramasa set up his forest again until Issei felt something in his heart.
'Is this...' Issei pondered as he held Muramasa out and let out a sigh.
"Bankai." He said as his body was now consumed by a violet light until his body was covered in strings along with his sword until the strings fitted Issei and transformed along with Muramasa's blade until he opened his eyes to see his new form.
Issei was now wearing a form of regal white armor, giving him the impression of a warrior deity of the eastern world but his sword amazed him the most since the look of the weapon reminded him of a sword meant to slay the Gods. (For appearances sake, the Bankai sword is Kokushibo's sword when he's not holding back) The sword radiated power as Issei was still in awe of it before he heard Muramasa speak to him.
"This is a reflection of your inner self. A true weapon for someone who is ready to fight against the world's most powerful. The sword of a hero." Muramasa said as Issei was in awe of the blade before saying it's name.
"Myoujingiri Muramasa. The Cutting Gods and Demons. Incredible." Issei murmured in awe as he saw Muramasa appear before him and had his own sword out.
"Are you ready?" Muramasa asked as Issei smirked at him before swinging it back as the strings that hung off the branches glowed brightly.
"Hell Yeah. Time to learn how to become a Godslayer." Issei said as he charged at Muramasa, who smiled at his partner, before raising his sword to clash with the blade.
Days Until Execution: 1
Aizen smirked at the feel of power under the Soul Society as he looked at Nemu's body before injecting her with a vial of some red liquid. "Let me see what you did with this girl Mayuri. She will be a more useful pawn to me than the mere tool you treated her as." Aizen said as he looked at Nemu's eyes open as her body shook as if she was trying desperately to find someone to save her but she couldn't speak until her eyes changed to that of a puppets before Aizen spoke to her.
"Now the puppet is in place." Normally no one would be freaked out by this but the problem is that Nemu spoke the same words that Aizen said as if she was being controlled by him.
And Scene!
The Execution is coming. Prepare for the Captains Clashing with the Ryoka. Now as for Issei's Bankai...
Myoujingiri Muramasa. Issei's Bankai. Cutting Gods and Demons.
A true weapon for Issei who was meant to fight against the world's most powerful.
Appearance when activated:
Issei will be covered in regal white armor, giving him the impression of a warrior deity of the eastern world.
As for the look of the weapon and abilities, the look of the weapon Kokushibo's sword when is not holding back, which will grant Issei's blade the ability to send a powerful force like attack that pushes the enemy away and cuts through any sort of offense and defensive technique like a hot knife through butter.
The strings would be able to absorb the spiritual energy from the attacks or the area around it and channel it into the user so that they can use it to increase the power behind Issei's own attacks or defenses. Also the threads of white reishi that come off the blades branches will be able to bind any opponents. Also using the strings waving from the branches to create cobwebs to create his web to surround the area he's in.
Let me know what you think in the reviews and if Issei should fight Soifon, Tosen, or Aizen for the fun of it. As for why I had Mayuri dead, reason is because I wanted that sadistic bastard to die for what he did to not just the Quincy's but also to his fellow subordinates. Nemu will have a more interesting role in this one.
Now as for the deal Issei made with Aizen, the deal was that Aizen gave Issei's Fullbring a new form thanks to the Hogyoku, similar to how Chad's Fullbring changed in his fight at Hueco Mundo. The new Fullbring will appear in the Execution Clash.
Next update will be:...
A Dark Descends Upon Beacon...
Issei was breathing heavily as he looked in shock as he saw a massive spider woman smile at him. "Hello boy. Mind if I take a look in your mind?" She asks as she attacks Issei and begins to make him suffer.
The Team Learns Of An Ancient Grimm...
"A Nightmare Grimm?" Ruby asks as Glynda shook her head at the question.
"No. This is a Nightcrawler. A spider like version of the Nightmare Grimm. Instead of taking on the form of a seed, a spider like Grimm enters the host and let's it's master enter the victims mind and breaks them by having them live their worst fears. The only way to save him is to enter his own mind." Glynda said as she clenched her fist over the glass while watching Issei continue to have cold sweat while the doctors try to help him.
Ruby looked at her sister and her team before they nodded with her. "We're in. Let us enter his mind and save him. Issei would've done the same for us."
The Past Shall Now Be Revealed...
"Stay close to me. We need to find her first so we can save Issei, as much as I really want to kill that woman." Luna said as she led the group of seven into the woods until their eyes were in awe of a rundown church that had a seal on it before Luna stepped up to it and removed the seal before sighing at the person who was emerging from it.
"I hate you with all of my being."
"I know."
"If you die in here, I won't lose a wink of sleep."
"I know."
"Will you help us save Issei or stab him in the back again?" Luna asked with narrowed eyes as the voice looked at her eyes and nodded.
"I, former Fallen of the Grigori, swear to help you save Issei Hyoudou."
But the Worst Fears they must face...
"Hello wannabe Dragon? Still looking for mommy or trying to kill our sister?"
"Your just a scared little girl who only knows how to run and toss the ones we love away.
Are...
"Do you really deserve love 'Untouchable Woman'? Your just a machine who doesn't know how to feel."
"Guess your still the same scared boy who hid while his parents died that night."
"Your not a Valkyrie. Your a girl who needs a boy for strength."
Themselves...
"You want to be a Hero of Justice? Don't make me laugh Ruby. That's not our real dream and you know it. It's a cute our mother left for us when she abandoned us."
The Nightmare in Beacon: Coming soon next year.
