13 lines
What the hell was that? A Cero?!
This thing's fighting like a Menos now. With every Soul Reaper it devours it's getting stronger and smarter!
Hey. There's no way a monster like you could go on a rampage in the World of the Living and not get noticed by the Soul Society. So who sent you?
Right, as if you'd tell me.
Burn, Engetsu!
What?!
............
Unh...
That slash in the back was done with a Zanpakuto! By a Soul Reaper! So it's a traitor that's behind all of this!
White...
Ironic, isn't it? He's encased in black armor, yet he's called "White." That's because of the whiteness within him.
It'll take more than what you've got to get rid of me, you piece of crap!
Hyah!
2. Before the boss
11 lines............
What the hell? Who is that?!
A Quincy!
This wasn't part of the plan. I'll deal with her.
No, wait. Let's see how this plays out.
............
Leave her alone!
It's quick! All right, then...
You idiot, what're you doing?!
............
Good boy. Now, stay right where you are.
3. After the battle
22 linesAre you all right?!
Oww. Yeah. Thanks for saving my neck.
No, you're the one who saved me. Protecting me's what got you hurt so badly.
You're right, I hadn't thought of that. Let's call it even then, okay?
Hold still. I'm going to heal you.
Sure. Man, you took out that monster all by yourself. Who are you, anyway?
(Do I dare tell him? After all, he's a Soul Reaper. What will he do if he finds out I'm a Quincy?)
............
My name's Masaki Kurosaki. I'm a Quincy.
No kidding. So you're a Quincy, huh? You're the first real Quincy I've ever seen!
Wow. I mean I've heard a lot about 'em, but I never thought I'd actually be lucky enough to meet one!
(Is something wrong with this person? This isn't what I was expecting at all.)
(I wonder if all the other Soul Reapers are like this)
(I hope they are. Then maybe Ryu, Aunt Izumi, all of us can work towards a better future.)
It's time to go, Katagiri. Masaki's safe.
There is nothing to report here. Understood?
As you wish, Master Ryuken.
The fact that he self-destructed means not only did he surpass the targeted Hollowfication phase, he reached the final metastasizing phase!
But why did he have to pass it on to a Quincy?! What a waste of time and effort!
Not at all. There are times when straying from the initial goal can result in a superior outcome.
It's intriguing... A Hollow created from a dead Soul Reaper decides to target a Quincy of all things, the polar opposite of himself.
Personally, I can't wait to see what happens next.
