Somewhat disappointed at chapter 460. But it was nice to see some Ichigo and Rukia interaction. The chapter felt more like fan-service anyway.

Chapter 4: Uncontrolled Rage

His friends fall... His comrades fall... His eyes watch on in anger…

Ichigo watched as his friends fell to the ruined buildings. He repeatedly cried out Aizen's name in anger. He continued with even more ferocity when Aizen began walking towards him. He listened to his own voice, and to Aizen, completely blocking out everything but his enemy. He did not hear the sounds of his friends' bodies harshly meeting the cold cement, or the crumbling buildings, or the tufts of fire burning uncontrolled through some areas of the city.

Stepping down on the ruined streets, Aizen slowly walked over to the frantic and struggling Ichigo. Casually, Aizen walked over to Ichigo; watching as Ichigo unknowingly hollowfy. "AIZEN!" The orange haired substitute shouted as the darkness enveloped his entire right eye. The traitor leaned down and grabbed Ichigo's chin before jerking his head to the side. "AIZEN!" Ichigo's voice beginning to distort, as white bone began to grow just above his temple.

"Amazing, you are still under complete control of your own body yet you are undergoing hollowfication." Aizen studied Ichigo's process before letting him go. His right iris now golden in color, no longer a soft amber, glistened from the anger and rage swelling up in his heart. "So you have stopped the process without even thinking about it. It appears that your emotions are not strong enough to light the ambers in you."

The vizard heard nothing from Aizen. He only continued to shout his name and struggle against the bindings.

"I will light the flame in you. A very flame that is pitch black in color… A flame home to darkness." Aizen said as he turned his back to him. Seizing this chance, Ichigo broke free of the kido and swung at the back of Aizen's head. The blade connected with a hexagonal shield, which stretched only the length of his neck. Irrationally, Ichigo's blade ignited with a black shroud of reiatsu as he struck at the back of the head again. At this gesture, Aizen flickered out of Ichigo's view.

His eyes widened before he cried out, "You bastard! Where are you?"

"Hado 63, Raikoho." The yellow lightning slammed into Ichigo's back, forcing him across the ruin city sliding on his chest.

"Shit!" Ichigo cried out as he got up to his feet, ignoring the stinging pain in his chest that came from the scrapes and burns.

"Stop." Aizen simply said as Ichigo broke out into a sprint at Aizen. "I said stop." Ichigo began speeding into a shunpo. "Did you not hear me?" Aizen asked as he blocked the black sword with ease. Ichigo released a Getsuga, clashing against Aizen's blade to no result. "You must have grown deaf." Aizen muttered darkly before with a flick of his wrist, he cut Ichigo from the left hip to his knee. With another, he impaled his blade in Ichigo's right shoulder and slashed his way through Ichigo's shoulder down to his elbow, eliciting a cry of pain and curses.

"You still have yet to hollowfy completely despite the fact I have utterly defeated you and your friends. It appears I will have to do more to your psyche." Aizen said as he grabbed Ichigo by the back of his neck and began dragging him, to which Ichigo began spouting profanities and vowing to kill Aizen. "Your vows mean nothing if you do not have the intent to kill me." Aizen said as he tightened his grip on the back of his neck. "I will give you reason to do so and I will ascend beyond the need of reason."

Aizen roughly threw Ichigo down to the floor and bound him with a low-level kido. After that, Aizen walked over and removed several chunks of debris.

Ichigo watched carefully, before realizing that Aizen had grabbed a white cloth. His eyes widened as he saw a raven-haired bespectacled man slowly lift his head and glare at the traitor.

Ishida narrowed his eyes and quickly struck out with his Seele Schneider. His blue eyes widened as he felt a sword impale through his abdomen. "…Shit!" Ishida cursed out as his blood began to seep through his white clothing.

"YOU BASTARD!" Aizen quickly withdrew his blade from Ishida as he smirked at Ichigo's reaction. His actions managed to speed up the hollowfication, as the mask had been fully developed across the right side of his face; but he was disappointed when the mask stopped growing beyond the bridge of his nose.

Turning away, Aizen walked over to another pile of debris and extracted Renji. The 6th division fukutaicho did not budge an inch as his red hair was strewn across his face, hiding his eyes. Aizen raised his hand and pointed his palm out at Renji. In an instant blue energy washed over his body and virtually wiped out any trace of him.

"RENJI!" Ichigo cried out as his mask began to reach across his lower jaw and forehead.

"I am not done, Kurosaki Ichigo." Aizen walked over and grabbed another person by their petite wrist. Ichigo's eyes widened as he recognized the trademark hairstyle.

"RUKIA!" He shouted out as he began to try breaking the kido. He watched as Rukia open her half-lidded eyes and attempt to break free of Aizen's hold by trying to pry Aizen's fingers off of her with her petite hands.

In an act that would complete Ichigo's process and be etched in his dreams, Aizen raised his sword above his head. And he brought down his sword on Rukia.

To Ichigo, the world had been slowed down dramatically. What was a second of Aizen raised his sword felt like an hour to him. His throat felt dry as he watched the sword fall down, cutting though her clothing and into her body. Her violet eyes widened for a brief second as she gasped out at the feeling of a sword cutting through her.

With a roar, Ichigo broke free of the kido and quickly snatched Rukia out of Aizen's grip. He held her tightly against his chest, her head resting against his shoulder. The cut from Aizen's sword was deep based on the blood pumping out of her wound. It stretched from her chest down to her waist. Her blood soaked out of the shihakusho and began staining Ichigo's.

Rukia raised his head slowly and looked at Ichigo's half transformed face into his wide eyes. She raised her delicate hand up to him and slid it across his mask. "…Ichigo…" She called out his name softly. Her hand reached to the edge of his forming mask, and she gripped it with her fingers. Giving a light tug, Rukia's hand fell back down as she called out Ichigo's name again. "I…chi…go…"

"Rukia!" Ichigo shook her, trying to wake her up, careful to not excite her wound. "Rukia! RUKIA!"

With a diluted voice, Ichigo roared out, dark reiatsu flared out from Ichigo's body as his mask reached completion. The menacing aura soon quickly swooped over Aizen as he watched without even a flicker of emotion. He opened his mouth to mutter only one word, "Good."

From afar Gin watched the reiatsu flare not wearing his fox smile or his narrow eyes. He had opened his eyes slightly and frowned while feeling the terrible reiatsu. He watched as Ichigo held Rukia closely before his anger completely consumed him as he thought back to his days as a small child living with Rangiku. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

The mist of reiatsu faded away in streaks of dark strings fluttering in the air. Aizen observed one of them before turning back to stare at Ichigo's new form.

His orange hair was now stretched out, reaching down to his waist. His mask covered his head much like a skull, with two thick vertical stripes going downwards. His eyes could not be seen through the slits in the eyes as they were completely black. Tufts of orange hair sprouted along Ichigo's collar, wrists and ankles, his skin no longer retaining his somewhat tanned pigmentation. Now pale in color.

The transformed Ichigo cried out a hollow's shriek as the strings of black reiatsu stopped fluttering away from him. Aizen turned around as he watch the strings slowly turn into sharp needles as they began speeding back. Aizen quickly weaved his body around, careful to avoid the speeding reiatsu.

Looking towards the direction of the reiatsu Aizen' eyes widened as the needles stabbed themselves against Ichigo's body. "What is-" He was cut off as the hollowfied Ichigo roared out and the area around him exploded in a dome of fierce reiatsu.

Aizen shunpo'd away managing to avoid being swallowed up. He raised his sword and knocked aside a streak of reiatsu flaring around violently. Aizen narrowed his eyes as he raised his arm to shield himself against the massive winds whipping debris around. Raw reiatsu flared into the skies, piercing through the clouds. Some of that raw reiatsu lashed out at anything that was near, breaking up streets and any remains of buildings into a fine dust.

As the dome of raw power began to dissipate, Aizen could make out Ichigo's form. Ichigo's form had hardly changed from the form he had taken earlier. There was only two things that caught Aizen's eyes; the horns that reached at least a meter in length, and the hollow hole in his chest.

"So you have become a hollow… Kurosaki Ichigo." Aizen watched as the completely hollowfied Ichigo walk towards Aizen. In a split second, Ichigo disappeared and clashed blades with Aizen. "Have you lost your mind to do a frontal attack on m-"

Not finishing, Aizen leapt backwards to avoid a pale hand that struck out at him.

"You have truly lost yo-" Once again Aizen was interrupted as he felt a sharp pain erupt from his back. He tilted his head and winced as he pulled out a fragment of black reiatsu. Just as he did, the hollowfied Ichigo charged up and slashed down on Aizen, carving a wound from his right shoulder to his right hip.

With a hollow shriek, Ichigo impaled Aizen through his stomach and quickly pulled out the blade. Aizen scowled and narrowed his eyes in pain as Ichigo grabbed his left forearm. The hollow dropped Tensa Zangetsu, leaving it embedded into the ground. With his now free arm, he grabbed Aizen's left shoulder and tugged with his left arm, ripping Aizen's left arm off by the shoulder.

"Shit!" Aizen cursed out as he was thrown aside. He sat up and belched a goblet of blood. The traitor looked up and his eyes widened as red reiatsu gathered up at the tips of the hollow's horns.

'Cero?'

The red beam flashed out and struck Aizen head on. Aizen shouted out in pain, before the Cero completely engulfing Aizen's screams and shot off into the horizon.

Ichigo stood straight, looking at the direction he had blown Aizen away. From afar, Byakuya slowly raised himself onto his arms gazing warily at Ichigo. Knowing firsthand as to how vicious Ichigo can become as a hollow.

The Head of the Kuchiki mustered up his voice to speak, "Kurosaki Ichigo, is that you or your hollow?" The hollowfied Ichigo turned around and faced Byakuya. His pale left hand raised up to his chin and cupped his mask with his fingers.

Slowly, he raised his mask up while speaking, "I am…" he said in Ichigo's normal voice, much to Byakuya's relief.

"NO ONE!"

Byakuya's eyes widened before he regained his composure. "So you have truly transformed into a hollow, haven't you?" He raised himself onto his feet and gripped Senbonzakura tightly.

"Feh… I told you, Ichigo… That if you ever wanted to use my powers, don't freaking die!" Hollow Ichigo shouted out the last line, as he began laughing. "I told you I would throw you down and crush your skull whenever you give me a chance!" Then he looked over to Byakuya. "I'll start by killing his friends!"

He flashed out of Byakuya's sight before reappearing and smashing his palm against Byakuya's nose. "You lowl-"

Hollow Ichigo did not allow him to finish as he caught Byakuya's scarf, giving a rough tug, he lifted Byakuya a foot in the air. Quickly reacting, Byakuya tried to free himself by slashing at Hollow Ichigo's arm. Just before the sharp edge could meet the pale flesh, Hollow Ichigo grabbed Byakuya's wrist. "Oh no you don't!" Hollow Ichigo moved in, with his mask in place, about to skewer Byakuya with his horns.

"Sokatsui!" Byakuya quickly fired off the kido and quickly shunpo'd away.

"Bastard!" Hollow Ichigo pointed his horns at Byakuya again, this time about to fire a Cero. Just as he was about to fire, he was knocked aside by a white left fist slamming into his cheek.

"Get control of yourself, Ichigo!" Chad shouted his arms regenerated thanks to Orihime.

"Kurosaki!" Hollow Ichigo looked up, only to meet a blue arrow smashing against his mask.

Hollow Ichigo felt his mask, his fingers brushing against a crack at the cheek bone. Immediately his eyes dilated and he gritted his teeth. "HOW DARE YOU HARM ME!" A wave of reiatsu poured over their heads, bringing everyone but Byakuya to the ground.

"Damn it!" Ishida cursed as he was forced on a knee.

Byakuya took a step forward about to charge and fight Hollow Ichigo until he saw someone run to him. He instantly recognized the figure, "Rukia! You fool!" He immediately began running.

"You've come to die huh?" Hollow Ichigo said as he watched Rukia, wounds healed, run towards him, half her shihakusho starting to fall off, but not enough to reveal her chest. Hollow Ichigo pounced, and raised his sword against Rukia.

Byakuya was only a few meters away as Hollow Ichigo began to bring his sword down.

The black blade was swung down.

Sweat poured from Byakuya's head.

Rukia closed her eyes, expecting a sword to go through her.

Byakuya cried out, "RUN! RUKIA!"

The cold blade met her pale shoulder, and she gasped at the contact.

And it stopped.

"Don't hurt my third daughter, you moron."

Rukia snapped her eyes wide open as she realized Kurosaki Isshin had arrived and stopped the blade. Her brother's eyes went wide at the newcomer.

"Isshin-san!"

"You…" Hollow Ichigo said slowly before he slashed at.

Isshin stood there with his sword in his hand pointing at Hollow Ichigo. "My, my… Looks like I have to beat some sense into you.

Father vs Son!

Alright, late and short chapter. The next two chapters will arrive in 3 days from each other.
