Her arc was shattered to pieces which didn't really faze her that much only made her walk closer until she stopped when he heard what he said. "Wait no please!" Aya said but to late as the man pierced through his stomach which made her gasp, but then grab her head in pain. "Fuck...... I can control it..." Aya mumbled as she looked up at her son again only for anger to fill her mind, all she saw before her vision went dark was her son screaming. A dark ball then wrapped around Aya and after a few second two red eyes appeared in the ball only for it to vanish revealing a much different form of Aya, her ultimate demon form. Her Zanpakuto was also gone as well. Leaving her standing there as she looked at the man and pointed her index finger at him, yet instead of a hado steel shot out of her finger tip straight at the man, however halfway towards him it then split into multiple streams of steel that took different paths towards him. All the while Black shadows kept flowing behind her.
The being retained its smile the entire time, when Aya pleaded and began her transformation. But when she did transform, his expression returned back to the emotionless state it was, with a hint of disappointment
"Your arrogance knows no bounds, it is rather...how would I put this...disgusting?"]/i] It said as she fired off the multiple streams of metal. A sheepish smile formed across his face as they approached him
[i]"Because of that, I will teach you a pain only a mother can feel" The multiple streams of metal pierced his body, but nothing came out of the wounds. Suddenly, multiple holes appeared over Hozumi's body, at the exact same spot which the streams of metal pierced the being. Blood came out of his mouth as he attempted to scream, but blood filled his lungs. Shortly after, his body fell limp. It appeared as if all life had left his body
"The pain of watching your very own son die before your very eyes, knowing there was nothing you can do. Once his purpose is served, and his life is drained. You have my permission to die. Until then, know your place and watch" It said as the streams of metal shattered once again and Aya would begin to feel the temperature to significantly drop. It would also feel as if Aya's demon energy was being drained by the being. He moved Hozumi closer towards him with his tail and began to open his mouth, ready to bite at Hozumi's neck
-- Meanwhile --
Hozumi dropped onto an endless white road, with no end in sight. Around him was a sight like no other as he stood up "Woah" Stars and moons surrounded him, each one different from the last with a just as great beauty. "Where am I?"
"The gateway from this life, to the next" Hozumi quickly turned, a confused expression forming on his face "What the? A goat? Why the heck would a goat be here?"
The goat chuckled, Hozumi's eyes widening "Did you just chuckle?! I didn't know goats could do that!!"
"You can do whatever you want, even a goat like me can become a god" Hozumi laughed "I doubt that, why would anyone pray to a goat?" Silence filled the realm for a moment, but was interrupted as the goat began to hit Hozumi's head with its feet
"Don't look down on me just cause I'm like this!!" "Ow ow, yes sir yes sir! I get it!" The goat stopped, clearing its throat and taking a step back
"Do you know why you're here Hozumi?" Hozumi looked down, sad as certain memories began to come back to him "Because...I died..."
"That is correct, or to be more specific you are on the verge of death. As you know, all mortal beings will one day experience death. When that day comes, I will guide the-" Hozumi interrupted his talk, raising his hand "Could you turn into something different? Its kinda hard to take a pep talk from a goat" Silence filled the room once again, cut off as the goat hit Hozumi on the head again multiple times
"Show your elders respect!!" "Yes sir, I'm sorry!" He said, covering his head to avoid getting hit more. The goat stopped, going back to where it was without a hint of movement
"I suppose I could change forms, although It'll take a toll on my body" A white plasma like smoke began to seep from its body, blocking all vision. Even Hozumi's eyes couldn't see through this smoke. The smoke which covered its body moved and changed shape, standing upright now. The smoke faded away, revealing its new form
Hozumi smiled and nodded "Strangely enough, yes.. It feels like you're more like me" Hozumi said with a smile. Viole smiled back
"It does, doesn't it. Weird huh" Hozumi nodded "Very, its like you know who I am! Wait do you?" Hozumi asked, raising an eyebrow. Viole nodded
"I know you, I know you very well Hozumi. I've watched over you your entire life. Wishing there was something I could do when you were in danger but...I was forever bound to this realm" Hozumi scratched his head "So you're my guardian angel?" Viole scratched his head
"In a way, yes. But who I am no longer matters Hozumi. Not anymore.All that matters is you, you must live. You must fight and do what I failed to""But I'm dead...how can I fight when I'm dead?" Viole smiled
"Simple...I will sacrifice something for your life " Hozumi's eyes widened "Y-you'd do that for me?" Viole nodded with a smile
"Of course, I would do anything for you" Hozumi began to catch on "Who are you really? You and I...are really alike. I can see it with my eyes, its like you're..." His eyes widened "Are you my father?!" Viole stood silent, turning to look at the vast ocean of stars
"I was hoping you didn't realize" Hozumi smiled, tears of joy forming as he began to walk towards him "My mom never told me much about you, but I knew I'd find you one day!" He began to run towards him but the road began to shatter, a gap forming between him and Viole
"Its time for you to go back Hozumi, I'm sure your mother is worried sick""I don't want to go yet! There's so much I have to ask! Who are you! What are we?!" Viole smiled, the gap between the two of them closing as Hozumi and Viole stood face to face. Viole wrapped his arms around Hozumi
"I am the proudest father there is, to see you so strong so young" Crystal like tears began to come out of Viole's eyes as the realm's foundations were breaking and shattering. The moons that once stood in the sky began to sink and shatter into the darkness below
"Hozumi, I'm sorry I've missed you being born. You growing up. I'm sorry that I will miss seeing you in the future, when you become a powerful warrior that will know no bounds. But do not ever forget, I love you. I will always love you, no matter what Hozumi's grip tightened as he began to cry "Don't go father!!" Viole ruffled his hair, a smile on his face
"I won't go, I'll always be in your memories. Its time for you to go Hozumi, there are others waiting for you" Hozumi held on to his Viole's clothes tightly "No! I won't go!" His hands phased through Viole's body as the floor beneath him shattered. Hozumi plummeted downwards, extending his hand out to Viole "I'LL SAVE YOU ONE DAY FATHER!! I PROMISE!!" He yelled as he continued to plummet. Viole smiled, standing in the darkness
"You've already saved me. Goodbye, my son"A being, radiating a light so blinding that it shined throughout the entire dimension
"Are you sure about this Lessa? Are you truly willing to give up your immortality for just one insignificant being?" Viole turned to the being, a warm smile on his face
"Yes, what is the point of having all this power if we don't put it to any use? My son isn't like me. He has the determination to bring about change" The other being remained silent
"So be it. Farewell Lessa" Viole smiled, as everything around them began to shatter and fall
"Farewell Rah" Viole said as his body began to fade away.
-- Back to reality --
The black being bit down on Hozumi's neck, but instead of blood a crimson black miasma came spewing out of the wounds. The being coughed, pulling its tail from Hozumi and jumping back. Its face had partially melted from the miasma. Its tail was corroding and breaking
"How is this possible?! Gah! Mortal beings can't harm me" Its eyes widened, grinding its teeth and looking Hozumi
"Lessa, taking over your son. How detestable" Behind Hozumi was a nearly invisible apparition of Viole
"I hate it just as much as you do, but you will not break free of Hell today, return back to the realm which you belong in" Multiple black staves formed out of thin air, piercing the beings body. Chains formed on the edge of each stave, connecting to the massive hole behind it. The being grinned
"You've won today Lessa, but this is just the beginning. No matter what, i will break free of Hell. Then I will kill everything you hold dear, and once I've sowed the seeds of destruction, I'll be coming after Rah. I'll kill all of you for sealing me in that Hell hole! THE SKY WILL ROT!!!!!" It yelled, the entire forest shaking from his yell. The trees shattered just from the yell, braches of quartz falling all aroudn themThe chains began to pull its body back towards the hole. It grabbed onto the ground as it was dragged into the hole, the grin never fading
"I won't go alone!" Its arms extended outwards, its hand growing and grabbing Hozumi. Viole's eyes widened as it grabbed Hozumi, but he phased through them.
"Don't do it!" Viole yelled as his body began to fade away. It grinned
"Too late"The being jumped back into the massive hole, pulling Hozumi down with him. The being laughed hysterically as it fell down into the pitch darkness, an unconscious Hozumi falling with him. Lucy woke up, seeing Hozumi being dragged into the whole as the entire forest was being broken apart. Lucy quickly got up on her feet, looking at her surroundings and taking a second to collect herself.
"I'm sorry Aya, but I can't let you go down there. Down there is Hell, and if you go. You won't come back. I promise I will bring back Hozumi. I hope I get to see you one day, Sentan Hakuja. Mod 5" A white portal formed above and below Aya, the both of them going closing in on each other and transporting Aya back to the Soul Society. As Aya was being teleported back to the SS, Lucy ran with all her might as the Forest began to come down and cover the giant hole with its many branches. She leaped through a small gap, falling downwards
"I'm coming Hozumi, until then. Stay safe!" She yelled, as she plummeted into the unknown darkness.
