Hollowed Soul

Forty One- true face of evil

Author Notes: I claim no rights or anything associated with the Bleach series and/or its characters. This story is completely my own idea as it is told from Ichigo's point of view. Some of the characters maybe a bit OCC so please don't hate!   Also I am featuring some new attacks that I had come up with that I had also used in other Bleach stories for this story. 

OC characters: I claim no rights to any of the OC characters that I am using as they belong to other readers on fanfiction.net whom are allowing me to use them with their permission as Ienzo Viristio belongs to Antex-the Legendary Zoroark

Forty One- new face of evil

I quickly turned back around to see the blast clear away from Kokuto to reveal that he no longer looked human.  He had taken on the form that closely looked like my shinma form only much darker.  His skin turned to a light grey color as his white hair became much longer as it now fell to his waist in length.  A pain of long tan bull-like horns ripped out of his head as he had my demonic black leather wings and long reptilian tail.  His eyes looked like Shiro’s but instead of the irises being gold, they were blood red.  I could hear Shiro gasp in the back of my mind.

*It’s not possible.  How could he be like us?* Shiro asked.

{He isn’t a true shinma like you and Ichigo but rather an artificial one.  Meaning….. somehow he had acquired the power belonging to a shinma.} replied the Hogyoku.  I could hear Shiro spit out a sharp curse as we both knew that there was only one of two ways that he could have gained the power.  One was to be born with the power kind of like Shiro and me or to have taken the power from a previous shinma.  {Be careful Ichigo, as we don’t know if he knows how to use the power of a shinma.} added the Hogyoku.

*Are you ready Shiro?* I asked my hollow half.

*Always King.  Let’s put this bastard down once and for all.  All I want to do is go back home and put all of this chaos behind us.* replied Shiro.  I couldn’t agree more with him.

“Ichigo is he?” asked Renji.  I shook my head no.

“What can we do to help?” asked Ienzo.

I frankly didn’t know how to answer his question.  Kokuto threw his head back laughing.

“No matter what you do, I will have your power.  I will be free from this place.  With your powers, I will rule hell!” stated Kokuto.

*Jesus….. can we say psycho much?* asked Shiro.

*You are telling me!* I replied as my allies moved to attack Kokuto.

“Gancho Toxicos (toxic hook)!” snapped Ienzo as he unleashed poisonous energy from his claws and shoot it.  It almost was like a bala (bullet) but much stronger.

“Kuromeru Enkou (black death flame)!” snarled Kokuto as black flames surrounded Kokuto protecting him from the blasts.  He turned glaring at Ienzo.

“Lanza de Relampago (lance of lightning)!” snapped Ulquiorra as he threw a lance made of lightning at Kokuto.

“Ryusenka (dragon hail flower)!” shouted out Toshiro as spears of ice shot at Kokuto.  “Whatever you do, you best do it fast.  We will buy you as much time as we can.”

“Hikotsu Taiho (baboon bone canon)!” snapped out Renji as the snake head to his bankai shout out a blast that looked like a cero.  “Best hurry it up Ichigo!” added Renji.

{Kurosaki…… use our strength and power along with yours.  It may leave you completely weakened but, Kokuto must be stopped.} stated hell.

*I understand.  Don’t give it to us all at once as I think that is what Kokuto is expecting you to do.  He knows that you are stepping up to help me stop him.  I think he has this planned from the very beginning.* I told hell.

{I believe that you may be right about this Kurosaki.  So much about Kokuto’s behavior and telling us to summon you for help is beginning to make sense.  We were blind to his plans.}

*It happens!* replied Shiro.  Hell began to pull its power into me as I moved to attack Kokuto to keep from realizing what was going on.

“Getsuga Tensho (moon fang heaven piercer)!” I snarled unleashing a large blast of reishi.

“Jigoku-hi Tenka Bakuha (hellfire ignition blast)!” snapped Kokuto unleashing a large fiery blast.

“Tormenta de Plumas (feather storm)!” snapped out Ienzo as he swung his feathered wings to cause the feathers to shoot out protecting the group from the blast.

“Tenmukei Kokushikon (heaven spiritual cutting fang)!” I snapped out unleashing a much more powerful blast from my zanpakuto.  The blast hit Kokuto hard as we had to keep him off balance.  *Hit him with your strongest attacks.  I can only get one shot at this!* I yelled at my team mates mentally.  The four of them nodded their heads as they pelted Kokuto with their strongest attacks.

Hell’s power poured much stronger and faster through me as Kokuto didn’t seem to notice much.  When finally Kokuto noticed, it was already too late.  Not only was Hell’s power coursing through me but I could also feel the powers of the Seireitei and Hueco Mundo coursing through my body.

“Sorry Kokuto but this is the end.  Sanjuu Kon Bakuha (triple soul blast)!” I snapped out unleashing a very large and powerful destructive blast.  Every inch of not only my power but also the power from the three realms slammed out of me and into the attack.  The attack ripped through Kokuto as he was killed instantly.  I collapsed suddenly as the guardians that I was merged with had unfused from my body.  My shinma form ripped through my body as my claws ripped into the ground like it was a lifeline.  I needed not only energy but also blood.  The pain proved too much for me to handle that I collapsed.
