2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2- The Encounter

Dante was really bored. After defeating Mundus, demonic activity had more or less disappeared completely, which meant it was back to the same old boring life again. After what happened with his brother, Kat had nowhere to go, and so she decided to pitch in with him at his old mobile trailer. Sure, there were the occasional stray demons here and there, but they were nowhere as challenging as when he battled Mundus's Special Forces. He did however; restart his previous habit of visiting the Devil's Dalliance, the night club that was owned by Lilith, the dead concubine of Mundus. With his mundane life right now, having a little 'fun' wasn't too much to ask. And besides, Kat need not know, he thought to himself. If kat ever found out, it would get too awkward, now that she was living with him. "Speaking of Kat, where the hell is she?" he said out aloud. She did leave saying something about a 'dimensional rift' that had opened up. He was beginning to get worried; it was not like her to remain out for so long, unless it was something serious. Maybe he should go check it out; Well, it's not like he had anything better to do, and he was getting anxious, unlike him, she was only human. Quickly springing up, he wore his favorite red trench coat, sheathed rebellion onto his back, and holstering ebony and ivory, set out to find her. "Maybe today won't be so bad after all" he said and headed out.

-Near Raptor Towers-

Kat couldn't believe what she was seeing. Near the old and broken down tower, at the base where the lake, which was previously a portal to Limbo, now lay a huge gaping hole, a void so black, it seemed to fold the space around it like a fabric being ripped open. From that void, coming out were what seemed like demons of various forms and shapes, until Kat noticed the white mask each of them wore. "No, It can't be!" she said, shocked. She had only heard of these creatures in the old books she had read back when she was still trying to control her psychic abilities with vergil. Thinking about him dampened her spirits again, as she began remembering how he had rescued her when she was at the summit of her despair. "No, can't think of the past now, gotta focus!" she told herself. "I can't believe hollows have appeared, I thought our worlds were kept forever separate….". She had read how the world of Heuco Mundo, where hollows resided and the realm of the dead, The Soul Society and Hell were kept separate and there was no natural way to reach them unless someone deliberately opened a gateway, like the one mundus had at his office. But hollows like these could never have entered here on their own, not without assistance. They had sensed her presence, since she was easily spotted among the normal humans around her. She poised herself, "This is bad, I can't repel so many of them, and they all seem to be pretty strong. I might have no choice but to escape to Limbo. Damn!" she thought. She was just about to make a portal, when a blur or red and blue raced past and headed directly for the hollow approaching her, with its claws out, ready to strike her. The figure jumped and sliced it clean in half, so fast that the hollow didn't even realize it had been cut. "Keep your filthy claws off of her, scumbag!". "Dante!", she said, relieved. "Kat, are you ok?"he asked. Taking a better look, he saw that none of them looked like the demons he had seen before. All of them had one common feature. A white mask and a hole. But like demons, they varied in form, from being animalistic, some with a human build, and some like demons. "What are those things? They don't look like your average demons". "They're hollows Dante". "Hollows?". "I'll explain later, Dante you need to strike at their masks to kill them." she said. "Oh yeah? Finally, some action at last. Let's party!" he shouted, heading to the nearest hollow. The hollow was first caught off guard by his approaching speed, but composed itself quickly to block an incoming slash from Dante. Unfortunately, Dante was much quicker and thrust Rebellion into its mask, shattering it. Seeing this, the remaining hollows started ganging up on him. Quickly drawing his guns, he shot thrice, each finding its target squarely between the eyes of three hollows, before blocking an attack from a hollow behind his back. Morphing his sword into Arbiter, he removed its head clean of its body. Now, changing it to a whip, he reeled in closer to another hollow that was making its approach towards Kat, and using the momentum, deliver a kick straight to its face. There was only one hollow left, which he reeled in using his ophion whip and delivered an uppercut, decapitating it. "Oh? I didn't expect to find a human as powerful as you are in the world of the living". Turning to the direction where that voice came from, Dante and Kat looked out as they saw another creature come out of the hole before it closed up. So they figured this must be the one the boss of the hollows that had been killed. He looked only slightly larger than a human, well built and horns coming out of his head, a white mask adorning his face with a hole in his throat. "Impossible, an adhuchas!" said Kat, not believing what she saw. "Adhu-what?" asked Dante. "Oh, it seems you know of me, woman. That's right, I'm an adhuchas, and don't compare me to those weaklings you killed before human, otherwise I promise you, you'll regret it!". He pointed his hand, where a small red orb started forming. " A cero!" exclaimed Kat. "Haha! Now you'll get blown to bits! DIE!". " Drive!" shouted dante, before sending a powerful wave at the adhuchas's face and slicing it in two. "Im-Impossible! No human can be this strong! Unless-" before he could finish his sentence, his body, now cleaved in two, started disintegrating. " I can't believe you killed him without breaking so much as a sweat! You're really gotten strong, Dante! said Kat. " It was him who was weak. Man, here I was thinking I could have a decent fight after a while, seems like I was mistaken…."said Dante, disappointed. "Even though he says that, he did defeat an adhuchas so easily. He really is strong" thought Kat, looking at him proudly.

-A Few Minutes before-

Rukia and Renji were heading over to where that massive reiatsu was coming from. They were given a mission to investigate the presence of a large amount of hollows at a place called 'Limbo City'. The place sure looked like it, a place of poverty and suffering and one that had sustained massive damage recently. Many buildings were nothing but piles of rubble suggesting something big had happened here. It almost reminded them of the Rukon district where they were lived as children. The reiatsu seemed to come from what seemed to be a TV tower, and massive enough to let them know the kind of hollows that were pouring out. "We need to hurry, seems one of the menos have turned up" said Rukia, pulling out her sword. When they arrived, both of them stood frozen, looking upon the scene below. A 'human' was fighting off these hollows like it was nothing, and noticed how his sword turned to different forms. "A Zanpakuto?" wondered Renji. "No, I don't sense any reiatsu from his sword or him" answered Rukia. Yet, he fought as if it was in his nature, his battle instincts were that of an experienced fighter. Then, both of them noticed the figure that crept out of the Garganta. "An adhuchas! This is bad!" claimed Rukia. Both know how strong an adhuchas can be, having fought them in heuco mundo. " Damn, I guess I'll have to use my Bankai" said Renji, as he drew his sword. Then, what happened next blew the wind out of both of them. The white haired guy, changed his grip, drew back his sword, and slashed towards the adhuchas, making a shockwave appear, that sliced him clean in half. "Ho-How!? He killed it in one hit, and that too just like that!" said an astounded Renji. "He's definitely captain level, if not above, I can't believe a human like him is so strong" said Rukia. They had come to protect this place, instead, became mere spectators. But then again, Ichigo too was a human and he was strong too. But this man didn't give off any reiatsu so it didn't make any sense. They decided to go enquire. The fact that someone so powerful is lurking about was making it uncomfortable. "Hey, you there, in the trench coat, who are you? How did you defeat those hollows?" asked Rukia. "Huh?" he said turning around to look at the two figures approaching him. " And just who the hell are you?" he asked. "Shinigami!" exclaimed Kat, who came over seeing the two of them. "You can see us human?" asked Renji. "I'm a psychic so I know of shinigami and so yes, I can see you" she shot back. This was turning out to be quite the day. First, they come across a human with insane power, and now, a psychic. "You still haven't told us who you are" said Dante, pointing rebellion across them. "Hey, easy pal, like your girlfriend just said, we are shinigami. We came from the soul society after hearing about the hollow outbreak at this town." replied Renji. "She's not my girlfrien-" said Dante with a mortified look before being cut off by Kat. "You're shinigami? This is perfect. Please, you have to take us both to the Gotei 13. There is a serious problem" said Kat. "Why do we have to go with-"complained Dante, before being interrupted by Kat again. "Please Dante, you don't understand. I'll explain everything, but first, we need to go to the soul society." She said, her eyes desperate. Turning to face the soul reapers, she said, "Please, this concerns the Hollows and I believe I know the cause, but first, you have to let me speak with the gotei 13". Rukia and Renji were thinking. She seemed to know of the recent happenings, and maybe it might help them to understanding it. Plus, this man had also defeated an adhuchas so easily, so keeping an eye for them might also be better for them too. "Alright, but you must promise me to tell us everything you know, human" stated Rukia. "Of course, that's why I'm coming in the first place" replied Kat. Rukia then drew her sword to open a senkaimon, but then Kat said, "You don't have to do that, I've already readied a portal to the soul society, pointing to the pattern on a wall. She muttered a few words, with which the circular crest started glowing, opening a portal to soul society. Again, the two shinigami stood speechless. As she entered, so did Dante, grumbling about how 'It was such a pain'. The shinigami then got a hold of themselves, following them into the portal.

That's it folks! I decided to make this chapter a little longer since I felt the first one was not big enough. Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know your thoughts and any mistakes I may have made and finally, Thanks for reading! I'll try to update this whenever possible, trying for a minimum of 1 chapter every week.
