Hessian Does A Thing - Volume 1 Chapter 50 Bankai
Sokyoku Hill
“Very well, I will allow the Ryoka to return home.” Yamamoto lied to appease the girl about to be executed.
“Thank you very much” Rukia smiled in relief
“How cruel, he has no intention on sparing them.” Vice-captain Kotetsu muttered
“It is not cruelty, Isane. It’s kindness.” Captain Unohana spoke from the side
“Captain Unohana! Where have you been this whole time?” the vice captain asked surprised as she hadn’t seen her.
“If this is the unavoidable fate, the least we can do is ease her of any worries. And give her peace of mind.” she ignored the questioning about her whereabouts
Half a dozen men in ritualistic robes stood around the giant spear known as the Sokyoku. Through multiple hand signs, the ropes that sealed the spear came undone.
“Raise the prisoner!”
Three slabs of stone rose up from below Rukia and rose her towards the air. Then beneath the Sokyoku, a torrent of flames was unleashed. The inferno engulfed the spear as it also rose towards the air by itself. The scorching flames took the shape of a giant bird similar to a phoenix.
“Kiko-oh! The spearhead of the Sokyoku has taken on it’s true form as the officiating executioner to render the ultimate punishment!” Head-Captain Yamamoto announced. “Execution will be over when the prisoner’s body is pierced by it.
All of those present gazed up at the magnificent form of power above them. The prisoner, Rukia Kuchiki peered at her executioner unafraid. In the end, she closed her eyes, making peace with her life.
“Farewell” she finally said as the Sokyoku made to execute her.
“Hey.” came the familiar voice of the protagonist
Everyone present looked up in disbelief at the Ryoka who stopped the Sokyoku with a single sword.
“Impossible! He stopped the Sokyoku, which was said to contain the power of a million Zanpakuto. With only a single Zanpakuto!? Just who is this guy?” Captain Soi Fon unconsciously hyped him up
“Nanao, do you think that’s the one that Ryoka was talking about?” Captain Kyoraku asked
“Yes, it matches the reports.”
“I see, so they were the ones who made it in time.”
As if outraged, the Sokyoku backed off and let out a primal roar. Ichigo noticed that the flame bird was backing out for a second attack.
“Fine, bring it on.” Ichigo spoke as he readied himself
“Stop Ichigo! Enough already! You won’t be able to stop the Sokyoku a second time! You’ll be torn to pieces” Rukia cried out
“ICHIG-” Rukia’s scream was cut off as everyone noticed an incredibly loud music echoing through the air.
“THIS IS YOUR TIME TO PAY!~”
“THIS IS YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY!~”
“WE MADE A SACRIFICE AND NOW WE GET TO TAKE YOUR LIFE!~”
The music became even louder as the sound of roaring engine came from the sky. All those present looked up towards the air to see the young magician standing at the hood of his humvee. Hurtling straight for the Sokyoku with a maniacal grin.
“WE SHOOT WITHOUT A GUN!~” Hessian lowered his stance on the hood as he put on some gloves
“What is that!?”
“WE’LL TAKE ON ANYONE!~” The sokyoku wasn’t impressed as it waited for the impact.
“IT’S REALLY NOTHING NEW, IT’S JUST A THING WE LIKE TO DO!~” Right before impact, Hessian clapped his palms together as the silhouette of a world briefly appeared behind him
“YOU BETTER GET READY TO DIE!~” Everyone was dumbstruck when the Sokyoku couldn’t handle the magical weight of the Humvee. All the captains and Vice-captains were forced to move out of the way from the giant crashing inferno before them.
Once the dust settled, the crowd’s jaw dropped. The grand executioner that was the Sokyoku, was now a giant roasted chicken dinner on a giant plate.
“CHICKEN DINNERRR!!!” Hessian shouted his victory cry to the world and began to laugh maniacally.
Hessian POV
Chicken’s pretty good. Could definitely use some ranch or something though. I look over to the old man as I wave to him.
“Sup old man! I have returned to wreck your shit! I even brought you dinner!” I give a smile to him
“You… YOU IDIOT!!!” Ah damn his voice can get loud I think as I cover my ears.
“Do you have any idea what you’ve done!? The Sokyoku was the Symbol of Repentance for countless years!” he rambles as I stop my ears from ringing.
“Jeez, fine I’ll turn it back.” I say as I turn to notice the big Vice-Captain Omaeda was taking a bite from the roast.
“Hmm, this is actually pretty good. I give it full marks” He says as he takes a few more bites
“See this guy gets it” I point to him with a thumb.
“STOP YOU FOOL!” The old man roared even louder.
“Omaeda!” Captain Soi Fon grabbed him and dragged him away.
“But Captain! It’d be such a waste to leave it!” unfortunately his captain ignored him
I turned the giant roast back into the spear through magic. Huh, the spear is actually moving away from me. Guess it’s pretty traumatizing, getting turned into dinner.
“There, now then I’m back for round 2.” I turn back to the Head-captain with a challenging grin.
I don’t wait for his answer as I flash step multiple times in another direction. Reaching a clearing far away from the hill, I stop and notice the old man got here first.
“It’s rude to keep the elderly waiting, brat.” he rubs in the fact that he was faster than me.
I could have gotten here faster if I used magic! I turn to notice Captain Ukitake and Kyoraku with Nanao. Wait, I was expecting a 1v1 kinda deal here.
“Hold up, this is my rematch!” I point at the two captains that just casually showed up
“Now now, don’t be so stiff. We’ll just observe for now.” Kyoraku waved off
“Kyoraku!” Ukitake yelled in disapproval
“Relax Ukitake. We’ll deal with our business after he loses.” he placates his fellow captain
“HUUH!? WHO THE HELL SAID I’M LOSING!?” I shout out indignantly
Before the conversation could continue they seemed to disappear off to watch from a distance. I turn back to the old man as he held up his walking stick. The wood turned to ash to reveal his Zanpakuto. His reiatsu intensified and I felt it was completely bear down on me.
“No more words need be said. Show me what you can do, brat.” I watched his his spiritual energy become a scorching flame. He hasn’t even released his Zanpakuto and it’s already on fire.
I reciprocate the gesture as a boundless dominating pressure is released from me. If his reiatsu has a fiery trait, then mine has a dominating one. The two pressures collided and came to a standstill at the center. I unsheathed Nanashi from my belt. I no longer had to call out it’s name to release. I flipped it and held it by the blade, pointed directly at my chest. The head captain raised a brow at the odd display.
“Bankai.” with a single tug, the blade was thrust through my chest.
“Kyoraku, why are we standing aside? If we fought with the Ryoka, we’d have a higher chance of victory.” Ukitake questioned as the group stood by to watch the battle that was about to begin.
“Relax Ukitake. Even if we were to team up with him, there’s no guarentee that we wouldn’t simply get in each other’s way” Kyoraku explained “Besides, I think the kid can at least tire the old man out.”
“Do you really hold him in such high regard?” Ukitake questioned
“It’s just a gut feeling is all.” he said
“What… is he doing?” Nanao asked as they noticed Hessian pointing his own blade to his chest.
They watched as the young magician pierced his own chest with his blade. His words echoed out clearly for all to hear, despite speaking softly.
“Bankai.”
There was no incredible explosion, nor any loud sounds. Merely a short flash of light. Then the pressure came. An unending pressure that felt like it was directly locked on all beings in the vicinity. The oppressive will of a higher being. The Vice-captain Nanao immediately dropped to the ground, losing the ability to breathe or cry out assistance.
“This pressure…” Captain Ukitake’s eyes widened
“It’s getting a bit hard to move…” Kyoraku spoke as he tried to shield Nanao from the pressure. However it didn’t help so he was forced to move her even further away.
The Head-Captain Yamamoto opened his eyes with an intense gaze towards the Ryoka who had obviously only recently attained Bankai. His sword was gone, replaced by 5 resplendent blades growing from his back in various sizes. The blades were shaped into a single sword wing that were emitting an endless amount of spiritual essence. Hessian’s eyes opened to show nothing but a resplendent glow.
“Mumei no Chten (Nameless Apex)”
The name echoed through the world.
