The earth trembled as the gargantuan beast reconstituted itself.
No longer resembling a human, Gerard finally became a true colossus with his head replaced by an ornate helmet.

"Fools."
Even his words carry weight as the very core of your souls shake with each spoken letter.
"When will you learn?
No matter how hard you struggle, no matter how much you resist...
Your fate was sealed the moment you faced me.
Now... you shall know the true extent of Gods might.
Perish along your sins so the new world can be born!"

The massive fist soars through the sky, the gusts of wind it whipped up obliterating all structures in the vicinity.
Should it connect you will no doubt be wiped out.
But you've had enough...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaeXN-MByjU

Your fists tightly gripped you stood up and faced the incoming threat.
And without blinking you stared down the titan facing you.
With a surge of power filling up your body you raised your hand.
Gerards momentum was cancelled as his fist came to a screeching halt.
Your gills flapped in the violent wind the quincy whipped up and you heard the words of the giant.

"I-Impossible!"

Appearing next to you in the form of a black blur Asher greeted you.
"Hehehe...
It never gets old, does it?"

"I'm glad to see you finally decided to join."

Not feeling like making jokes right now you coldly responded to the freshly minted hollow while holding Gerard in place.
"Asher...
Let's end this.
Together."

Smiling with his new mask Asher cracked his knuckles.
"Took the words right out of my mouth!"

With a flick of your hand you swatted the gigantic arm out of the way, revealing the Sternritter for you.
You in your resurrección and Asher with his new body raised your hands in preparation for the upcoming assault.
Your objective is clear: Find Gerards cross and obliterate it.

"GO!"
You ordered Asher and he gladly obliged, dashing towards Gerard at lightning speeds.

Repeatedly kicking the air he jumped higher and higher which prompted the titan to act.
"You think I'll let you?!"

His hand shifts and moves in an attempt to block the incoming hollow.
But as Gerards arms traverse miles at a time they suddenly come to a screeching halt as he feels something dig into his flesh which is practically bursting with reishi.
"W-WHA-"
He tries and tries to break the glowing threads that wrapped around him only to find it digging into his flesh, drawing blood.
"GUWAAAAAAA!"

He reeled forward as Asher kneed him in the stomach.
In a vain effort to protect himself he moves his still free hand.
Your eyes twitch at this as you observe a line of purple light darting across the sky in a jagged pattern, bouncing around on invisible platforms of your creation.
With vague gestures you soon envelop the entirety of the giants body in your glowing web and with a simple pull hang him up by his arms.

You shout as you look at the hamstrung quincy.
"ENDLÖSUNG: GLEIPNIR!

With a smile Asher observed his bound opponent and made his way to the head of the giant.
Cracking his knuckles he chuckled at the helpless quincy.
"So God...
Let's find out who will you pray to!"

Then Asher went to town on Gerard.

With a barrage of punches so fast you could only see them thanks to the Hogyokus aid he obliterated the head of his opponent.
However he quickly came to a stop as he soon realized something.
As the head of Gerard bubbled around him in an attempt to reconstitute itself Asher turned around and screamed at you.
"HE CAN SHIFT IT AROUND HIS BODY!"

"Then there is only one thing we have to do..."

Clapping your hands together and entwining your fingers you commanded your strings to move closer to one another.
As if they came alive the many godly threads sliced and diced the quincy until he was naught but a pile of meaty chunks floating in the air.
Seeing how the parts were already drawing in reishi from the air to reconstruct the body Asher wasted no time and began searching for the medallion.
Like a bolt of black lightning he crossed the battlefield, biting, striking or otherwise destroying what parts he could.
But he had no luck in locating it.

"Shit!
Where is it?"
He grumbled until his eyes lingered on something.
"Of course!"

Altering his course he stopped in an instant and went towards Gerards spine in a straight line.

Spinning like a buzzsaw he cut the rearranged spinal column of Gerard neatly in two with his heel.
And once the cord was exposed so was a brilliant light that tried so hard to hide from you.
Grinning with his sharp fangs Asher reached in and tore the bloody thing out in a visceral display.

"DEAD ON!"

https://www.jspell.com/public-spell-checker.html

Crushing the fragile thing in his palm Asher sealed the fate of the Sternritter.
And yet... you had no way of knowing what would happen.
In a scream of pain and anguish all the power that the heart of the soul king amassed was violently expunged into your surroundings.
Now covered in what looked like the glistening tears of Gerards soul the Soul King Palace and the void surrounding it.
All the flesh that stretched and grew to accommodate all that power suddenly collapsed and deflated as the bits congregated in one pile.
From the puddle of gore one man emerged wearing a viking helmet, desperately clutching a broken sword and shield.

Landing next to your radiant image Asher gave voice to his disdain.
"This guy doesn't know when to quit!"
Before he marched off you placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Wait!"
You pointed at the bloody quincy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeSpNvPW9G8

But he was not just bloody.
His skin turned inside out, his muscles hanging on by just a thread, his bones shattered into many small fragments, each clearly visible as it's jutting out of his flesh.
"It's a miracle he's still standing."

"Heh...
It suits him well!"
Asher chuckled.

But Gerard was not as amused.
Despite being only a pile of meat only barely held together by divine intervention he still has the strength to shamble towards you with his broken armaments.
"Sinners... all of you!
You strike out against god in your ignorance- *cough*
Not realizing you're just adding fuel to your own funeral pyre...
Heh... Hehehe...
I guess I can't avenge my brother after all.
But that's okay... Because you...
At the end of this... you...
You will burn in the deepest pits of Hell for all eternity... Siegfried Krieger!
Hope ya made your peace! Because now... not even God will forgive you!"

Saying his final words Gerard finally collapsed in a violent coughing fit.
He only managed to keep himself from landing face first in the dirt with the help of his shattered blade.
Meanwhile Asher just laughed at this.

"How amusing.
Who would've guessed he'd be such a sore loser."
He then took a step with the clear intention of finishing off the defeated viking.
But before he could take another you tightened your grip on his shoulder.

"Asher..."

"Yes?"

"Make sure to eat him."

"U-Uh?"

"This will be your first feeding...
So make sure to remember it.
What makes us hollow."

He swallowed nervously before giving you a nod.
Slowly with uncertain steps he made his way towards the unsuspecting Gerard.
Looking down at the pathetic sack of made to which he was reduced Asher felt uneasy.

"Come on...
Finish it!
Give up your last shred of humanity and forfeit your place in the new world!
Join your foul creators!"

"Okay..."

Gerard looked up with a cold shiver running along his spine.
Asher answered without hesitation and without a shred of remorse in his voice.
And for some reason Gerard had a bad feeling slowly overwhelming him.
It didn't take him long to figure out why though...

Seeing that growing, pulsating hunger in the fresh hollows eyes growl.
The sheen of saliva trickling down the side of his mouth.
And that one almost lustful lick.
In that moment... the heart of the soul king skipped a beat.

"OHGODN-"

Letting out a growl that grew louder and louder Asher pounced on his prey and began mercilessly tearing into its flesh with his claws.
Bit by bit he tore through muscle, sinew and bone before scraping it all into his mouth by the handful.
With loud slurping and crunching noises he made quick work of Gerard who found out an odd and slightly inconvenient side effect of his power.
Once enough of his body entered the hollows stomach the rest of him followed suit as his viscera flowed through the air and straight into Ashers mouth.
By the time he was finished there wasn't as much as a single drop of blood left of the once mighty Sternritter.

Now growling and grunting he stood hunched over where his opponent was but a moment ago.
With every breath his muscles flexed impatiently, his eyes sought new prey as his hunger urged him.
Despite being quite menacing you decided to walk up to him.
At first he lashed out at you and managed to scratch your cheek with his claws.

Only once he saw your blood on his hands did his bloodshot eyes return to normal.
In a fit of panic he began apologizing.
"K-Kaizar!
I- uh... This isn't-"

But you just ignored his pleas and hugged your foolish son.
"And now you know."

Feeling defeated he let down his guard and returned the gesture.
"So this is it huh?
I uh... When can I rip this damn thing off?"

"Soon.
But we should tend to the others first..."
>>
After unmerging with the Hogyoku you searched for your friends and began healing them after gathering them up in one place.
Most of them were alright but Marr was in a horrible condition.
With his spine severed and a massive gaping hole in his chest it was obvious that he needed immediate medical attention.

As you looked over his wounds you began questioning Asher while he tended to the others.
"An iron clot around the edges of the hole..."

"Had to do it.
Otherwise he would've bled out...
Heeey princess! Welcome back!"

"B-Brother?
Whoa... you died.
Congrats."

"Heh.
Thank you.
Erm... would you please help your mother?
I want to make sure Dante is alright."

"Okay."

After reverting the hole in the chest of the big guy you turned your attention to Nnoitora and slapped him awake after making sure he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
With a groan he looked at you with his sole eye.
"Ugh...
Wh-whahappened?"
Helping him stand up you explained to the dazed arrancar that you managed to handle the quincy.
"That so?
...
Shit.
I missed out again, didn't I?"

After a sigh he grabbed his own head, lamenting his own misfortune before the reality of the situation sunk in.
"W-WAIT!
Asher died?"

"Yeap."
You point at the man in question.
"Look."

Asher stood above his son and slowly caressed his cheeks.
"Come on sleepyhead.
It's time to wake up."

"Ugh...
Just five more minutes dad..."
Suddenly Dantes eyes snapped open.
"D-DAD?!"

"Hehehe.
Glad you finally noticed."

"So it... wasn't a dream?"

"Afraid not.
But look at the bright side.
Once this is all over we can finally have a dinner together as family!"

Nnoitora tried his best to hide his own tears at the scene but failed miserably even with his many arms.
Flustered and insisting that he doesn't give a damn he he tries to save himself from the embarassment.
"Okay okay! I get it.
So...
Guess we should decide how to proceed..."

"Is that even a question?
I'm ready as always!"

"Not you.
Marr is out of commission and will require constant attention so Asher should stay with him.
And I'm also getting nervous about the safety of Tia and Sophia."

"So what's the plan then?"

>Let's ask what they think
>I guess it's just you and me now

Well... it looks like we have another slow day today.

Whatever.
>writing
>>
"Looks like it's just you and me now..."

"Heh...
Works for me!"

After helping him up you made your way to the others, all of whom have awakened already.
Even Marr with that freshly healed wound of his was coming around.
While scratching the back of your neck you heard Tia greeting you.

"Hey..."

"Hey.
So erm...
I guess you were brought up to speed."

She nodded.
"We were.
Just give us a few minutes and we'll be ready."

But you shook your head.
"No...
You've already done more than enough.
We'll handle the rest from here."

"But-"

"Kaizar!"
Asher stood up.
"You can't expect us to just sit idly by!"

"I can.
Because you've endangered yourself enough.
Now with only the final bastards left I want know you guys are safe!
And that includes you too! I'm gonna leave some slime here and I need you to heal everyone with it.
Especially Marr."

"Listen to the boss fresh meat!"
Nnoitora also spoke up.
"We'll need the backup nice and ready should we fail...
And I think I speak for everyone when I say that a newly transformed hollow who isn't even aware of his capabilities shouldn't be thrown at the front lines!"

"U-Ugh... fine!
Just make sure to give us a call when you win...
Or when you lose."

After letting out a rather large amount of slime you patted Asher on the shoulder.
"I'm counting on you!"
Then you turned to Sophia and pat her head.
"And I'm expecting you to keep everyone in check pumpkin!
If they misbehave make sure to knock some sense into them!"

Now leaving your friends behind you made your way towards the very center of the realm with Spoony in tow.
With both of you in your released states you made quite an imposing sight as you marched across the shattered realm.

"So...
What do you think the next dickholes powers will be?
Literal invincibility?"

"Honestly I wouldn't put it past them."

Upon arriving at the same area where you were before you both unleashed the full might of your spiritual pressures.
That should serve as a sufficient knock, you thought to yourself.
But when you didn't see the wunderkind anywhere you began to worry.
Extending your spiritual pressure to the top of the stairs you picked up not one but several spiritual signatures.

"Let's go Nnoitora!"

"Yeah!"

Not bothering with the stairs you used Sonído to fly past all of them and landed at the large open area right before the castle.
But to your shock you found a massive hole blasted where you assume the gate aught to be.
And in front of the flaming entrance were the quincy you just felt: Two of them lying unconsciously on the ground while the third of them was currently being strangled by the kid that whisked you away the last time you were here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufzxB24ibyw

Letting go of Uryus neck he turned to you with a rather unnerving grin on his face.
"Ah... so you arrived at long last!
Kukuku...
Well I was getting bored of toying around with these traitors anyway.
So... Allow me to introduce myself!
Gremmy Thoumeaux; Sternritter V - The Visionary!
And I'm afraid I'm the last one of His Majesties children whom you'll face!
As these traitors just murdered our beloved grand master.
But fear not! I'll do my best to entertain you dear guests!"

You put up your guard and Nnoitora raised his scythes in anticipation of the coming attack.
But not only did nothing happen but Gremmy didn't even create a weapon to fight with.

"Great... another fucking weirdo!"
Nnoitora grumbled and you couldn't agree with him more.

However just as he said that you could hear a loud crunching noise coming from your friend.
Judging by his shocked and pained expression that wasn't a pack of nuts that spontaneously broke in his pockets.
Coughing violently Nnoitoras blood began leaking out of his mouth as he stared at the quincy boy in utter horror.
"What the fuck?!"

"Uhuhuhu...
Hurts doesn't it?
Having every bone in your body broken at once!"
The boy gloated.

"SHUT UP!"
Nnoitora growled and lashed out at the laughing boy, sending forth a shockwave with his zanpakuto.
The shearing wind even managed to sever a few strands of Gremmys hair.

"I-Impossible!"
The boy was flummoxed when he saw your friend not only able to move but to retaliate as well.

"KAIZAR!"

"Yes?"

"Grab those quincy pricks and go!
I'll handle this little shit alone!"

"Fine...
But you're not allowed to die!
You hear me Nnoitora?!"

"JUST GO ALREADY!"

Without wasting any more time you used Sonído to quickly reach the three quincies and picked up each of them.
But before you could make your way to the entrance you found a forcefield being erected in front of it.

"You think I'll let you get away?"

But Nnoitora was quick to react.
"YOU THINK WE GIVE A SHIT?!"
With a kick Nnoitora sent the tiny quincy flying while you headbutted the barrier hard enough to shatter it.

Jokingly you turned back for a moment and shouted to Nnoitora.
"Try not to step on his neck too hard!
Seems a little scrawny to me!"

"WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!"

Flipping around in the air Gremmy began hovering and wiped some of his own blood off with the sleeve of his jacket.
Seeing the crimson fluid staining his clothes managed to excite the boy quite a bit.
"I'm going to enjoy destroying you!"

Merely by extending his hand forward the Sternritter summoned his weapons...
A bunch of conventional guns.
Now granted there were a LOT of them and quite a wide variety as well, he even conjured a few rocket launchers here and there.
But it did not change the fact that they were regular fucking guns.

Laughing like a maniac the quincy unleashed his little wall of lead and explosives right at Nnoitora.
However even in his state of berserker rage Nnoitora still saw how dumb that all was.
In a world where you can shrug off blows from swords the size of small vehicles just by being strong enough this little shit decided that the best weapon to attack someone with literal iron skin was a fucking AR-15.

Needless to say he simply closed his eye and rendered himself completely invincible to whatever Gremmy might have thrown at him.
Even the high yield explosives he took to the face paled in comparison to what people could squeeze out of their soul if they really put their mind to it.
So with only minor damage done to his clothing he appeared before the annoying little quincy and cut all his little toys into tiny cubes with his six scythes before hitting Gremmy in the face with a fully charged Cero.

But as he was sent flying Gremmy had some time to think things through.
Now that is not to say that he came up with an actual way of fighting Nnoitora.
No no...
He merely realized where he went wrong.

"That's right!
How could I forget?!
This guy has the thickest iron skin of all the hollows!
That must be how he's able to move with every bone in his body broken!
It's acting as an exoskeleton!"
Gritting his teeth he spun around and brought himself to a stop.
"BUT DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY!
I AM THE STRONGEST YOU LITTLE HOLLOW!
YOU HEAR ME? THE STRONGEST!"

Suddenly a massive stone hand formed in the sky, ready to swat Nnoitora away.
But the arrancar did not feel any fear and instead he raised his scythes in an attempt to cut that thing to ribbons.
With one cut the stone construct was cut in half and as they parted he slipped between them.
As he appeared before the arrogant quincy he raised his scythe and promptly severed his top half from his bottom half.

"And I just about had enough of you arrogant quincy pricks!"

Gremmy just stared as the hollow spat at him.
He couldn't believe his own eyes.
This man... this hollow was somehow besting him.
Unable to accept that he began boiling with rage.

Through sheer force of will he fused his bodyparts back together before landing on his own two feet.
Staring up at Nnoitora he began cackling like a madman.
"You know what?!
Fuck this! I will NOT stand for this!
I AM THE STRONGEST! AND I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU EVEN IF I HAVE TO RAZE THIS ENTIRE DIMENSION TO THE GROUND!
NOW TREMBLE YOU PATHETIC WORM! TREMBLE AT THE POWER OF THE VISIONARY! THE POWER OF IMAGINATION!"

His form began to bubble as if it was a boiling liquid and from the foams a new Gremmy stepped forth.
Looking just as insufferable as the other one this one resumed where the original left off.

"I can shape the world however I see fit!
If I can imagine it, it will come to be!"

"And if I imagine a copy of myself..."

"I can double my own strength-"

"by imagining twice as much!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ71AUNdjL0

Suddenly a great ball of fire appeared on the clear blue sky.
A massive meteor appeared out of thin air and now it was heading towards the Soul King Palace itself.
As he saw the expression on Nnoitoras face Gremmy couldn't help but laugh like a maniac.
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnjwd16vpPs

For a moment there Nnoitora felt overwhelmed by this image.
He did not expect such a drastic jump in power just after creating one clone.
But here he was, staring down a blazing orb of death.
The sheer ridiculousness of the situation made him chuckle a bit.

"Well if I die then at least I'll die knowing that asshole just had some REALLY uncomfortable flashbacks..."

Closing his eye he began controlling his breathing.
He needed focus, absolute focus if he were to do this.
His senses sharpened to a razors edge and he could feel his own spiritual pressure disappearing as he got it perfectly under control.
Then when his eye snapped open he did what needed to be done.

Kicking the ground he shot himself into a collision course against the meteor.
With six blades on the ready he charged without a hint of hesitation in his eye.
The first swing cut the falling rock in half, the second quartered it up and he continued like this until he reached a hundred slices in just a second.
Now the flaming chunks of rock rained down on the Soul King palace, giving the otherwise serene realm an apocalyptic feel.

And as fire continued to shower everything Nnoitora landed before the two Gremmys who were rendered speechless.
"I'll say it only once you little shit...
If there is someone who's the strongest... it's my boss!
But for you... I'll be more than enough!"

Aaaand that's as far as I can go for today...

Omake #3: Feeding habits

As the Soldat went limp after only one punch your ears brought your attention to something.
That strange guy who greeted you so enthusiastically and yet withdrew just as fast from the battle was now clapping at you.
He looked like he was just done shooting a shampoo ad with that freaky hair of his.

"Impressive.
Most impressive.
It looks like the rumors did not exaggerate regarding your capabilities."

"And that's your reason for just standing there while I mopped the floor with your people?
To sate your curiosity?"

"You could say that.
But don't let those small fry bother you too much.
After all the fun is only about to start!"
Then he spread his arms as he manifested his spirit weapons, a bunch of black spikes that hovered around him.
"Now then... Kaizar Soize...
Let's find out whether or not someone as mighty as you can feel fear!'

The spikes attacked you simultaneously as Äs Nödt launched them at you.
Though fast it wasn't their speed that you worried about. Rather their numbers.
One by one you deflected the quincies projectiles, swatting aside or outright shattering them in the process.
In the end you managed to perfectly block every single one of the black needles and you congratulated yourself once you saw just how much destruction they are capable of based on the amount of damage they dealt to the surrounding area.

But for some reason the quincy seemed very satisfied with himself despite not managing to put even a scratch on you.
"It is always so amusing to watch people of your caliber fight!
So sure of yourselves as if nobody could even pose a challenge to you!
Well... Kaizar Soize...
I just have one question to you: What is one such as yourself afraid of?"

You raised your hand in preparation for what was about to come but Äs Nödt just stood there with his arm spread and his head cocked at an almost 90 degree angle.
And just as you were wondering about what he was planning on doing you noticed something strange.
Strange black markings began to spread along the veins on your arms.
For a few seconds you tried to scrape whatever was on you only to realize that the viscous black substance was inside you already.
Looking back up you saw the eyes of the quincy narrow with joy.

"Allow me to properly introduce myself Kaizar Soize!
I am Sternritter F - The Fear!"

His words rang in your ears and more than anything else the implications did in fact manage to scare you.
And it didn't take long at all for the actual effects of the black liquid to kick in.

As you looked at your arm you saw your skin slowly peeling away by itself and letting your flesh fall off and pool under your feet like some sort of liquid.
The nerves in your body suddenly came alive and started tearing themselves away from you.
All the buildings around you turned into mounds of mutilated and fused together bodyparts, their faces stuck in perpetual agony.
Under your feet the ground turned into an endless field of blood, viscera and centipede like creatures feasting on the gore.

Your heart beat faster and faster as more of them surreal landscape unfolded before you.
One moment the sky turned red and the sun opened up like a giant eyeball staring down at you.
Beyond the horizon you saw gargantuan figures of incomprehensible size staring down at you and throwing dices around in some bizarre game of chance.
But the worst part... the worst part only came afterwards.

Beyond Äs massive stakes emerged from the ground with the dissected corpses of your friends and family proudly on display.
Their organs fallen out of their bodies and spread all over the ground below them.
You could even hear their agonizing moans and pleas from all the way over there.
And that quincy bastard was loving every second of it.

"Such a wonderful expression!
It just goes to show you how much of a universal force Fear is!
Even someone like you is not free of its grasp!
Yes you may be more resistant than others but that's rational fear!
Irrational fear is absolute! No being can transcend it!
For you see all that lives fears and all that feels fear lives!
It is both the driving force behind life and its undoing!
It is so marvelous to see someone as mighty as you being reduced to a scared little child!"

Suddenly your eyes snap to where the Sternritter was standing.
Staring him down you take a few moments to take a deep breath before speaking to him.
"Yeah... and?"

"...
What?"

"You made me scared... congratulations.
What's next?"

"A-Are you mocking me?"

Not answering that question you touched your sword and spoke the command.
"Mend and Maim..."

After a massive explosion of force you made your way towards the quincy and grabbed him by the mouth, shoving those stupid spikes of his into his jaw.
Äs let out a muffled scream of disbelief as you tightened your grasp until you ripped his mask off and dug your fingertips into his cheeks.
Pulling your free hand back you punched him in the stomach with all your might.
The sound of his ribs shattering was music to your ears.
>>
You let go of his face and the tatters of his mask fall off you finally get to see that ugly mug of his.
Now you are no longer wondering why he was so adamant about wearing that ridiculous mask that made you think his Schrift was the "It's not a phase mom!".
But regardless of that Äs fell to his knees, grasping at his gut in pain.
When he looked up you were given a pretty good demonstration of the expression you made mere moments ago.
It was clear that he did not understand how you could still function after being affected by his Fear.

"I hate children..."
You spoke up.
"Not kids mind you.
Just people like you.
Weak and pathetic people like you who assume everyone is like them...
And those who drag down others to their level instead of rising up."

You then proceeded to stomp on his head and drive him into the mud.
Leaning down you began whispering into the whimpering quincys ear.

"You make a move and I'll pop your head like a fucking zit. You hear me?!
Now Äs...
Let me educate you a bit.
Your power is the equivalent of jumping out of a closet and going Boo!
Once the shock wears off... it's not that effective.
Yes there are things that scare people. Death, loss, failure, the unknown.
But unlike you most people can grow beyond that."

Lifting your leg off of his head you walked to the side of Äs and kicked him in the stomach hard enough to send him flying.
Once he landed you took a good long look around the twisted hellscape he conjured up.
"And I find it positively hilarious that THIS is how you want to bring down supernatural beings.
I mean... do you honestly think everyone is as weak as you are?"

"W-Weak?!"
Äs coughed as he struggled to get up.
"You call me weak?!
Acting so high and mighty... thinking yourself to be beyond reach...
Yeeees... I know...
I'll drag you down to the deepest pits of Hell itself!
I'll reduce you to a crying, gibbering madman! Yeeees!
Once I'm done with you you'll eat those words of yours! AND YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE DEAD!"

Rolling back his eyes the Quincy revealed his cross behind his eyeball.
Not wasting a second you used Sonído and with a quick snatch you tore out the eye of Äs out of its socket.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

He screamed incoherently as blood poured out of his now empty socket.
And with a satisfying squish you crushed his ocular organ in your palm before kicking him in the chest hard enough to knock him over.
Taunting him as you stepped on his neck you stared down the pathetic wretch that was the Sternritter.

"Go ahead.
Make me...
But if you think I'll be courteous enough to let you after this stunt of yours then you'll have to think again.
Now...
Say... my... name..."

"Haaa- haaa... K-Kaizar!
Kaizar Soize!"

"Wrong!"
You stomp on his neck hard enough to crack the stone underneath.
"Say my name Mister Fear! SAY MY FUCKING NAME!"
You spoke with a savage grin.

"...
...
...
OHGODN-"

Omake #4: Reunion

If there is one thing you absolutely hate about Japan and by extension the Soul Society is the summer.
You were never a fan of the blistering heat unless you had some cold beer to ward it off with.
But adding this humidity to it and you feel like crawling back to your little palace basked in eternal twilight, release your sword and coil up under a tree.

The heavy air feels like it's suffocating you while the heat is sapping your strength.
And working during this time instead of relaxing or doing something productive like fishing is making you quite angry.
Letting out a groan as you push the handle of the cart in front of you makes you feel like a fucking animal.

"How much?!"
You turn your head slightly to the right and asked Takeshi the obvious question that's been on your mind for a while now.

"Not much!"
He answered while sweating so much that he was putting your slime production to shame.

Though, much like Rike, he received your contact he rarely if ever made use of it.
So you found it particularly strange when he gave you a call.
And now you deeply regret that he did...
Looking back at the massive cart as it towers above you made you wonder just how exactly these are supposed to be moved around.

After about an hour of hauling that freakish amount of cargo around you found yourselves collapsing upon arrival.
With both of you heaving from exhaustion you looked at your gargantuan carriage and cursed loudly.
"Of course... these pieces of shit... didn't give us any shade at all!"
Turning to your son you finally asked the important question from him.
"Who the fuck... even uses these?"

"This one... is Jidanbos responsibility...
But he got a heat stroke."

"Fucking great..."

As you cursed that fool for getting sick and by extension ruining your day a flock of people slowly crept out of the shadows.
At first you only saw some of them poke their heads around corners and only once they were sure about you not being a threat did they fully reveal themselves.
Though they walked ever so slowly they became more and more comfortable with your presence and picked up the pace.
On rather average looking man stepped over to Takeshi, completely ignoring you and your white garbs.

"E-Excuse me Master Shinigami...
Could this be-"

Almost immediately afterwards Takeshi jumped up as if he suddenly stopped being exhausted.
Jumping up at the cart he grabbed the sheet of cloth protecting the carried goods and pulled it off.
With the contents of your little caravan revealed he started shouting to the crowd.

"People of the Kusajishi district!
We brought you water and food as a gift from the Seireitei!
Come take what you need! And don't worry, there's plenty for everyone!"

But despite how tempting the bottled, clean water and the fresh fruit combined with the preserved meat and packs of rice were nobody dared to make a move.
What's even more bizarre is how these people are clearly starving. Well not literally since they don't require food but it's obvious how they crave it, especially the water.
Luckily for you it didn't take too long for you to realize why they didn't jump on this occasion as a group of rather repulsive individuals made their entrance.

"Kihihi!
How nice of you shinigami to give us these presents!
Okay everyone! Enough gawking at our stuff! BEAT IT!"

Takeshi however didn't take this kindly.
"Hey! Just who do you think you are?!
This belongs to everyone!
If you want some of it you can get in the fucking line just like everyone else!"

"Tch... look at this shinigami bitch!
Thinking he can order us around!"
The gang members suddenly drew their weapons as they took offense to Takeshis comment.

"Why you-"
The boy reached for his sword, ready to cut down these men like pigs.
But you stepped in and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Takeshi..."

"Aww how cute!
The shinigami has a little friend!
What's wrong bitch? You want to die as well?"

Completely ignoring the thug you continued your sentence.
"Go ahead and start giving out the goods.
No need for you to stoop to their level."

"HEY! YOU IGNORING ME?!"

Without another word you used Sonído to appear right in front of the man who was visibly shocked by this turn of events.
Staring him down you raised your hand to his chin and with a flick of your thumb hit the underside of his jaw with enough force to send him flying several meters backwards.
Once he stood up he opened his mouth and the shattered remains of his teeth poured out of his mouth with copious amounts of blood.
As he screamed at this you looked at his fellows and spoke.

"Yes...
Because if I didn't I might mistake you for a cockroach and step on you out of disgust...
Now scurry... while I'm still nice enough to hold myself back!"
Though shaken it is clear that these hardened thugs won't back off just from that.
One of them came screaming at you after a brief moment of hesitation while swinging his sword around.
"Bad move..."

Not even bothering to block him you allow the man to strike your forehead with his katana.
Unfortunately for him he didn't exactly expect your skin to be made of iron and even if it didn't your reiatsu would've been enough on its own to stop him.
His sword broke promptly in half and the skin on his palms ripped open under the duress as he stared at you in disbelief.
"What the fuck?"

Not feeling generous anymore you struck him in the abdomen with considerable force.
Not enough to outright kill him but enough to make him shit blood for a few weeks.
Seeing further proof of your power the remaining brigands grab their injured allies and ran with their tails between their legs.
>>
With the situation defused you returned to your sons side and aided him with the distribution of food among the locals.
All the while you inquired him about the situation here.

"Is it this bad everywhere?"

"No...
Not even close.
But the farther you get from the Seireitei the worse the living conditions get.
And poverty breeds violence..."

"Then why don't the shinigami do something about it?!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm willing to bet this is not something that usually happens."
You point at the carts.

Sighing partly in defeat and partly in shame Takeshi answered your question.
"You're not wrong...
In fact I had to organize this as a... charity of sorts.
The various squads gathered together and gave however much they felt like sparing.
Still... I got a considerable amount but... yeah...
Originally these carts are not even used for this.
They are used to send tribute to the various noble clans."
He paused for a second.
"Makes me sick."

As heavy as the subject may be you still couldn't help but smile.
"Well well well... looks like we agree on something!"

"Yes.
But we speak of this to noone!"

It took about another hour 'till you managed to hand out all the rations.
On the plus side there was apparently a bit too much so you could afford to uncork a few bottles of water during all this so you could pour it all over your body.
"Ah... much better!"

"Why did you just drench yourself?"

"My mucus dried up.
The flakes stuck to my skin.
But add a bit of water and it's good as new."

Shaking his head in disbelief your son sat down under one of the nearby buildings shadow.
Agreeing with his thinking you did the same as you finally had time to relax.

"You know...
We still have to drag that thing back."

"Don't worry about it.
Now that it's empty it should be a piece of cake.
And with the sun setting maybe things will cool off a bit..."
You reassured your son and made a hopeful wish.
But it's true that you'll have to head back soon.

However as you closed your eyes to enjoy these couple of minutes you felt something hitting your leg.
Slowly looking down you saw a small leather ball bouncing around as a little kid rushed to you, apologizing profusely.
"SORRYSORRYSORRY-"

Once the boy got close he stopped running as you grabbed his ball and handed it back to him.
"Oh it's nothing!
Here!"

"Thank you!
Hey...
You are the guys who brought food and water to everyone!
You guys are so cool!"

Takeshi blushed profusely at this.
"Hehe! You think so?"

"Especially you!"
The boy pointed his finger at you.
"How you kicked the butt of those guys!"

You smiled at him.
"I'm just glad I could help."
But as you said that you noticed an elderly couple approaching from behind the boy.
"Friends of yours?"
You pointed at them.

"Oh!
Hi mom! Hi dad!"
>>
"Hayato!
How many times do we have to tell you?
You can't stay out for this long!
Now come on! Dinner's ready!"

The old lady spoke to her kid and as she did a strange sensation started to overcome you.
An odd and alien feeling, something bothered you but you just couldn't put your finger on it.
And it was driving you mad.

But that's when the elderly couple actually noticed you.
"Oh my!"
The old man twirled his moustache in a way that sent down chills along your spine.
"You are the two gentlemen who brought the food!
Master Shinigami and... whoever you are good sir! We are indebted to you!"

"P-Please!"
Takeshi blushed profusely.
"There is no need for that!
We are just happy to have helped!
So you don't owe us or anything!"

"Oh but I insist!
A job well done shouldn't go unpaid!"

And that was when realization struck you like a lightning bolt.
That line... that one line was the final piece of the puzzle that gave you sudden clarity.
The thing that made you finally see the full picture.
This realization scared you beyond words.
Try as you might you couldn't muster a single word and instead just muttered incoherently with your eyes wide open.
You didn't even hear the rest of their conversation so you can only assume by Takeshis reaction that they invited you for dinner.

"Nonono!
There is no need for any of that!
We'll have to get back to the Seireitei anyway!
So... how about you repay us by enjoying your meal?
Are we agreed?"

"My such a well mannered boy!"
The old lady pinched the boys cheek and then they said their farewells.

But as they left you suddenly felt empty.
Reaching out with your arm at first you quickly had to stop yourself from doing anything stupid.
Now with your hand shaking as you desperately try to hold it back Takeshi spoke to you.

"It's things like this that really make it all worth it!
Huh Kaizar?
...
Kaizar?"

Closing your hand into a fist you mustered all your mental strength.
"Y-Yeah."
Standing up you tried your best not to look at your son.
"Let's go...
I'd like to finish this before it gets dark."

"Okay! Okay!"

As he stood up however you stopped in your tracks.
"C-Can I ask a favor from you?"

"S-Sure?"

Feeling yourself tremble you turned around and without making eye contact or saying a word you hugged your son.
He must've felt your shaking because he hardly reacted for a few seconds and once he did he simply returned the hug as you started slowly sobbing.
