From Rebirth To Perfection

Chapter 23 - The Preparations and The Execution

As I return back to my tower that I stole, I take out both Hogyokus out and I put them on the table.

As I look towards my Chaos Hogyokus, he sees that the repairement process is at 40.21% done.

"I gained so much in these two days...." I say quietly as I look at Urahara's Hogyoku.

"... Let's see if this works... " I say as I envelop both Hogyokus in Chaks, while trying to merge them, but it seems it is not working.

"Hmmm... It seems that my Chaos Hogyoku rejects this Hogyoku, but why? " I ask confused, but then I notice a certain... "intent" sort to speak radiating from Chaos Hogyoku. As it reaches me, I sense a certain feeling.

"... It treats it as an interior being, trash. That is why my Hogyoku doesn't accept this one." I say quietly, secretly happy but on the outside slightly frustrated.

"... Well, I don't plan giving neither Aizen not Urahara this Hogyoku... I will temper with it then... " I say as I envelop the Hogyoku with Chaos.

"... This is going to take a while... " I say as I begin the process.

-----------------------------------------

"We are here to inform you that your execution will be held tomorrow. " One of the masked men said to Rukia, who seems to have slightly recovered from loss of her brother and her Captain, although she still has a a sad look in her eyes.

"As we have already mentioned, we conducted the investigation on the strange symbol on your forehead, and it seems to be harmless, although it cannot be removed, all will be for naught tomorrow. You will cease to exist along with that symbol." The masked official said as he left the room along with others.

As they left, Rukia was left there wondering about many things, including wondering about the strange symbol in the middle of her forehead.

"... Why did it hurt when I woke up, but stopped when that man left... " She said quietly. then she started to think about the past, about Kaine and many other things.

"... Maybe Akhil was right... Maybe this is... "

"Despair... "

-----------------------------------------

Many things are happening.

Kenpachi is fighting Two Captains at once.

Renji is running towards the execution site, she thinking about his Captain's death.

"In the end... I never got to surpass him even with me achieving Bankai..." He says quietly as he raises his running speed.

As he runs towards Execution site, Rukia is walking towards the place where she will meet her impending end. As she walks, she notices Gin also walking but towards her and the guards that protect her.

"... Ichimaru... Gin ! " She says quietly while looking at Gin.

"... That is forbidden. You always call me by my full name without honorifics. It's Captain Ichimaru Gin. " He says with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Please forgive my rudenes, Captain Ichimaru..." She says with a slight dear in her voice.

"You actually thought I was serious? Do not worry, I don't tell people. " He says.

"As for why I have come here, it's just that... "

"I wanted to tease you a little." He says as he widens his smile. As he starts to look at the symbol on her forehead, he widens his eyes a little, before he places his hand on her forehead, right at the eye of the symbol.

"Before I forget... I wanted to ask you... Do you want me to help you escape? " He asks, to which Rukia reacts with widening her eyes, which seems to gain a slight amount of hope.

"What are you talking about Gin...? " She asks confusingly, while the guards start to sweat a little.

"Yeah, I can even help the other guys that entered here to rescue you. " He says with a wide smile.

As she is hearing that, she thinks about every encounter she had with Gin, indirect or direct, and how she has this lingering fear of him and his ferocious nature.

He then places his hand from her forehead onto her head directly and after that, be says.

"Just kidding! " He says with a cheerful smile, to which he leaves and say farewell.

As she has realised what he has done, how he gave her hope only to crush it completely in one single sentence, she is suddenly reminded of her encounter with Akhil.

"Do you feel it...? "

One tear falls.

"That's despair... "

Second tear falls.

"The feeling of loss, despair, weakness, all of it combined into one. How does it feel? "

More tears fall.

"Knowing you are weak... "

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH."

She finally falls to her knees and screams all out, as tears fall down. While that is happening, Gin is seen ferociously smiling, like a snake after decieveing it's food that will eat.

-----------------------------------------

As Kenpachi is under the effect of Tosen's Bankai, he finally starts to get bored.

As he thinks of ways to end this godforsaken battle, he finally thinks of a way.

"As Tosen finally stabs him directly, thinking it's over, he realises that this was Kenpachi's plan all along, because he picks him up by a shoulder and slices him off clean.

" Long time no see !!! " Kenpachi says with a smile on his face.

After that Tosen's Bankai finally crumbles, but he does not want to lose, resulting in Tosen attempting to kill Kenpachi again.

"Oh so you really want to die, huh? Then I will grant you your wish." Kenpachi says as he begins to moves his sword towards Tosen, but Komamura stops him. As he does that, he reveals his face for the first time.

"Funny, you seem to not react to my, appearance. " Komamura says.

"That is because appearances don't matter that much in battles. My only question is, since you look like a beast, do you fight just as ferociously? " Kenpachi asks with a smile on his face.

"... You have one critical flaw, Zaraki Kenpachi. And now you will know it. "

"Bankai! "

-----------------------------------------

"Proceed with the execution! " Yamamoto shouts as Rukia is slowly rising towards the top of the platform.

"As Gin and Akhil destroyed my confidence and hope, I finally have a calm heart... " Rukia thinks as she has stopped rising. As the burning bird appears, she in the final moments think of everyone she has met.

"I am sorry... " She says as tears fall from her face.

But right before the bird was to Pierce right through Rukia, the attack got deflected by the man himself, Ichigo Kurosaki.

"... You fool, what do you think you are doing!!?? " She shouts at Ichigo, who seems to be preparing for the second attack.

"Do not be a fool, you can't stop it a seco-" But before she could say the words, the symbol on her forehead started to glow purple, which resulted in great pain for her, which Ichigo noticed, but was extremely focused on deflecting this attack.

But before he could even deflect it, a man appeared with a ball on his hand, which absorbed the reiatsu of the whole attack, which in turn destroyed the whole execution weapon. He then returned the ball to his pocket, and turned behind and looked at Ichigo and Rukia.

Immediately he knew who this man is, and Ichigo threw Rukia downwards to Renji, who in turn started to immediately run away and see what is wrong with Rukia, since she seems to be screaming and crying due to sheer pain of the symbol activating.

Ichigo immediately tries to attack the man, but he simply kicks him towards the buildings beyond this cliff, which destroyed the buildings in Ichigo's path. The man then decided to descend just below the execution site.

As he descended, he looks towards every Captain and Vice Captain present.

"Hello there dear Captains and Vice Captains. Let me introduce myself. " He says as he activates his left eye, which immediately releases a unimaginable amount of Reiatsu, which takes form of a aura of complete darkness which envelops him completely.

The ground starts to shake, crack and fly to the sky due to pure pressure and power this man emits.

"My name is Akhil, the God of Death."
