Okay, they are that bad.
I'll just make stuff up then.''

''Then it's decided.''
She sits down next to you and slowly runs her fingers through Sofias hair.
''She's a little angel, isn't she?''

You look down at her and remember the first time you held her in your hand.
Granted, it wasn't that long ago but you still feel like it's been ages since that moment.
The anxiety, the unconscious fear that you might cause her harm was almost too much.
Luckily the eagerness within was far stronger coupled with your parental instincts.

''She is...
But damn it, I'm not looking for her getting older.
My hair's gonna go white from chasing off her suitors...''

Harribel chuckles at that.
''Well at least you won't have to worry about that for a while at least.''
Then she pauses for several seconds.
She looks like she wants to talk but she's very hesitant.

''Is... something wrong?''

''N-no. Not really.
You... said something about taking her to the shinigami.
To... Rike.''

*sigh*
''Yeah...
At some point I'll have to get around to do that.
But I still don't know if it's smart or not.
Bringing her to the shinigami that is.''

''I'm not talking about that.''

You pause for a moment.
''I know.
Sorry. It's just... I don't like talking about it.''

She nods.
''That's understandable.
Then... how about you tell me something about her?
You shared precious little with me regarding Rike, despite mentioning her sometimes.''

You let out a sigh and give in to her suggestions.
It's clear that she's set on this.
''Well... where should I start?''

''Let's see.
How about why you chose her.''

''Heh...
Want to see how you compare?''

''Perhaps.''

''Then I'll have to disappoint.
I didn't choose her, she chose me.''

''Oh. It seems we are similar then.''

''In some ways.
She was always so lively.
I called her ''Flower'' but in reality she was like a bumblebee, always buzzing around.
Her determination was admirable, anything she put her mind to she saw through till the end.
And her laugh... she could enjoy life to such a degree that it seemed like she could clear a storm with just a smile.''

''She seems nice.''

''She was kind. Almost too much.
I'd say she was too good for the world. For me.''

''But she chose you.
You said so.''

''And I still don't know why though.
I was a small, pathetic and chunky little boy.
Yet... for some she decided to become friends with me when we were little.
Ended up marrying her.''

''Sheesh.
Talk about overcompensating.
Is there anything she wasn't endearing at?''

''Jealous?''

''Mostly about the smile.''

''Heh... I don't know.
I grew quite fond of your chompers.''
You run your fingers along her teeth.
''And I became rather good at reading the mood of others just by looking at their eyes thanks to them.
So that's a bonus.''

She chuckles at that and when she finishes you resume.
''But... if you want to know that badly.
She was a terrible cook, despite being able to bake very well.
I still have nightmares about the abominations she created.
And saying that she had two left feet would be an understatement. She almost broke my leg during our wedding dance.
And... I hate to say this but she was terribly naïve.''
You shake your head.
''Always assuming the best and seeing the good in peoples action, even where there was none.''

''Did she... know what your did in the army?''

You shake your head.
''No point in telling her.
She wouldn't have understood.
Or... maybe she would but she'd still kid herself.''

''I see.''
She entwines her fingers and stretches her arm behind her back, making a satisfying cracking sound in the process.
''Now how about you compliment me for a change?''

''Listing your strengths?
Do you want me to sit here all day?''

She boops you on the nose with her index finger.
''I love how you can weasel your way out of things in the most endearing way.''

''Yeah, I know.''
You let out a satisfied grin in the process of answering her.
Then you slowly hand Sofia to her.
''Here.
I shouldn't make the Sheriff wait any longer.''

''Hey!''
She grabs hold of your hand.
''Be careful, okay?''

You smirk at that.
''Who do you think I am?
And besides, it's Starrk!
How bad could he be?''

With that you leave the house after waving goodbye to your wife and your little girl.
After mere minutes, even though you're nowhere near the arena yet, you can see just how big of a crowd is gathering.
Marveling at the sheer volume of people you kinda forget where you are and soon enough you feel someone or something bumping into you.
For a moment you get staggered but manage to find your footing before you fall over.

You look up to see a rather large, quadruped hollow that looks remarkably similar to those long necked dinosaurs.
His reaction speed is quite slow but he manages to notice that he almost knocked you over.
That long neck of his twists and turns in a spiral motion to look at you.

''Watch where you're going twerp!
If you don't want to get sq-''
And then he stops.
You see beads of sweat appearing on his mask as he starts to shiver like an autumn leaf in the storm.
''E-E-Excuse me!
I-I-I didn't mean it-''

You assume your menacing look and give him a passing glance.
''You should be more careful!
It's you who has that fat body! So pay attention to where you're stepping!''

''W-W-Will do!''

''Good.''
You return to your original course and can almost hear the hollows sigh of relief as you do.

Upon getting near the coliseum you can see the Exequias hard at work.
Each of them are busy either herding the crowd or trying to regulate the entry of people and failing miserably.
Poor guys, they probably weren't expecting such a difficult shift either.

But at the very least they are kind enough to let you pass without a problem.
And the funny thing is that once you do one of the guys in the line start shouting profusely.
He demands why you of all people get special treatment but the Exequias simply call him an idiot and tell him that you're one of the contenders.

That whole scene kinda made you laugh.

As you walk through the tunnels located within the stone complex and towards the ring itself you find someone standing in your way.
At first you aren't able to make out who it is but as you get closer and closer his identity gets more obvious if a bit surprising.

Alistair is leaning to the wall with his arms crossed as he's waiting for you.
The moment you get close enough he takes a step forward to get in your way.
''Kaizar...''

''Alistair.''
You offer him a handshake and he accepts it.
''Thank you for your hard work.
I assume the fortifications are also handled by you.''

''Yup.
The crow might make my skin crawl but DAMN he makes some fine stuff.
Those magic spells of his are comin' in real handy.
Also, this little show of yours should be the perfect training for them.''

''Training?
Is... is that going to be safe?''

''Oh? Oh yeah!
I figured we'd need at least an army to contain what you're about to unleash.
It's just that we don't have nearly enough guys that are proficient in Onmyōdō yet, so most of the guys making the barrier are trainees.
But don't worry, they are mostly there to pour energy into the walls.''

''...
I hope you're right.''

''Eh...''
He waves you off.
''Don't think about it too hard.
Last time I checked we got some real powerhouses in the building.
If shit gets dangerous we'll just ask them for help.
But... with that said Kaizar.''

''Huh?''

''I'd appreciate if you didn't murder my subordinate.
I don't know what he did that deserves such a huge punishment but I don't care.
Just make sure he comes back in one piece, okay?''

You pause for a moment.
''Oh... OH!
That's right.
You don't know!''

''Don't know what?''

''Nothing!''
You smirk.

''Okay, you know what?
Fuck off the edge of my dick!
I hate it when you do that! Every time you make that face my limbs either get chopped off or I get blown up!''

''As a wise man said: Don't think about it too hard.''

''Fuck off!''

You simply walk past him as he starts becoming visibly more angry.
''Also, my regards to your wife.''

''Thanks.
She doesn't care, but thanks.''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvm1aR8FrNg

Leaving Alistair behind you finally arrive in the ring where an impatient Starrk is tapping his foot on the ground.
To your surprise Lilynette is right beside him.
''Hey Starrk!
He's here!''

''Hmmm?''
He looks up towards you.
''Finally, you're here.''

''Sorry for the wait.
Lot's of assholes bumped into me on the way here.''

Starrk looks at the roaring crowd.
''Well at least you made it. Good.
Looks like they are getting impatient.''

''So... how do you want to do this?''

''I prefer going all out at the start.
No point in tiptoeing around.''

>>1410637
Whenever you say shitty weather, I just picture just illegals throwing shit at you.

>>1410646
we don't have any.
There is a big fuck off iron fence on the border.

And dogs on our side.

Shitty weather just means the typical spring bullshit where it can rapidly change between cold, hot, dry and wet all in one day

So spooky, besides bleach have you thought about running any other anime/manga based quests?

>>1410649
No, not really.
Mostly because I have no really good ones.
I'm only willing to run in an established setting I know very well.

And no good ones come to mind that I know extensively.

I'm actually planning on making an OC quest next

>>1410648
Oh did that get built fully? And fuck, i wasn't aware the weather there varied so fucking weirdly.

>>1410650
Eh just asking, any anime quest that aren't bleach, naruto or one piece you would want to see? Me personally i would l love a Tokyo ghoul quest.

>>1410653
Welcome to the south, where it's spring one day, winter the next, rainy the day after that, and then so hot you'd swear you were stuck headfirst in satan's unlubed asshole.

At least the food's great.

>>1410659
We only have Sun, potholes and Snow here within very defined times.

>>1410653
we have a continental climate here.

And it's mostly Spring that's fucky like that because it's just a transition between winter and summer, made even more extreme by the ridiculous winter we had this year.

Autumn is much better because it simply cools down over time and only the wind causes problems.

>>1410653
On the eastern border, yes.
It's not 100% fool proof but it's more than infinite times more than other countries have (i.e. nothing)

''I disagree!
Come on Starrk! Just enjoy the moment!''
You raise your hands invitingly to your opponent.

''I will...''

He then takes off his poncho and tosses it aside.
Almost immediately the escaping reiatsu starts rapidly expanding outwards.
The violent energy could be only compared to an explosion that lacks the heat.
The changing pressure of the air causes your ears to start making popping noises, luckily your eardrums didn't explode outright.

But the moment the shockwave hits the walls of reishi the unruly audience became deathly silent, their mouths hanging wide open.
Starrk is strong, no question about that, but only you and a VERY select few were privy to that knowledge.
To most denizens of Vanaheim he was just that one Exequias member that was always bumming around the place, not doing anything and yet he always did what was needed of him with surprising efficiency.
And now they know the reason why.
In their eyes you see their world crumble to dust as the guy who's always mistaken to be homeless man turns out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing.

He gives you a stern look and speaks up in an emotionless manner.
''Let's do this Lilynette.''

The girl doesn't answer. In fact she doesn't even respond.
She simply pulls herself inwards to her center nervously as Starrk pats her head.

Blue energy begins to emanate from Lilynette pretty much the moment Starrk touched her head.
The power she's leaking is simply astounding, made even more impressive by the fact that you didn't know Lilynette had such a huge reserve of power.
Or perhaps she doesn't and this is simply Starrks doing.
You can't be certain.

Then... Lilynette disappears and Starrk speaks up.
''Kick about! Los Lobos!''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMWnoJhBNF8

Starrk is then enveloped by... well, no reason to sugarcoat it.
A simple torrent of insanely dense reiatsu.
The energy within there is quite terrifying as it swirls around Starrk in the shape of a protective cocoon.

Once the dust settles and the wind of reiatsu grows weaker you get to witness Starrk in his Resurrección.
You can't help but laugh in your nervous state.

''Boy... you don't know the meaning of holding back, do you?''

Starrk stands up from his crouched position and looks at you with his only remaining eye.
Strange how he has two hollow holes now, one in his chest and one in his left eye, but it's understandable since he just consumed Lilynette into himself.

''No, not really.
Well then. Let's get started.''

He draws one of his guns.

You can't help but whistle at Starrks new form.
''I didn't think you'd actually assimilate Lilynette... so that's surprising.
Other than that, nice guns.''

''Thanks.''
Starrk then looks at his gun.
''Lilynette.''
He pauses for a moment.
''Lilynette!''

''What?!''

''He complimented you.
Say: Thank you.''

''Shut up Starrk and let's get this over with!
You know I don't like being like this!''

You pause for a moment in shock.
''D-did she...''
Then you shake your head in disbelief.
''Oh who am I kidding?
Of course she's the gun and she can talk!''

Starrk nods.
''It's best not to think about it.''
Then he raises his gun at you.
''Now then... If you're not gonna use your Resurrección...''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tONfEAQdDiQ

You quickly draw Basilisco and raise it up in your ready stance and just in time to see a strange blue light growing within the barrel of Starrks pistol.
He then pulls the trigger and your suspicions get confirmed.
That bastards gun is firing Ceros.

Putting both hands on Basilisco you grab it tightly and swing the blade, contorting your entire body as you do so.
With so much power behind your downward slice you manage to cleave the blue Cero right in half.
The two fragments fly past you harmlessly and hit the yellowish, Negación like barrier behind you.

Starrk is obviously a bit taken back by your stunt but he quickly recovers from his confusion.
''I assumed you were gonna dodge.''

''Well... you guessed wrong.''

''I suppose.''
He points his gun at you again and begins charging once more.

This time you actually pay close attention to the charge time of his gun in an attempt to figure out his fire rate.
But then...
You see a blue flash appearing from somewhere else.
His other gun.

Realizing your mistake you also see that your previous strategy won't work.
If he fires both Ceros at you it might just be impossible to brute force your way through both.
So you dodge.

Using Sonído to carry your body across the battlefield you try your best to avoid the incoming attack.
This one is just as fast as the last one but it's obviously stronger.
And in addition to that you see that while Starrks right hand is extended forward, straight as a line, his left hand is crossed above it and aiming at you while you're mid flight.

He pulls the trigger once he's locked onto you.
Same exact projectile speed but it's weaker than the one he just fired.
The moment it gets close enough you swat it away using Basilisco as a bat.

Grinding against the stone ground you crawl to a halt as you're finally clear of Starrks attacks.
You can't help but let out a confident grin, not because you're that sure about your victory but because it became abundantly clear that this fight is going to be a pain in the ass.

Starrk immediately sighs afterwards.
''Oh boy...''

''What?''

''That transparent, huh?''

''You know...
I was always wandering how you can put so much effort into lazing around.
Right now I'd kinda prefer if you went back to doing that, instead of putting all that energy into kicking my ass.''

''Sorry.
Not gonna happen.''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D0plglGBdA

He then raises his right hand gun at you and begins firing Cero after Cero after Cero without any buildup or apparent downtime between shots.
So that whole priming each shot before firing was just a façade, meant to trick you into giving Starrk an opening.
As the blasts come in rapidly you do your best to weave between the shots and get closer to your opponent.
More times than you're comfortable with a few charged balls of death get dangerously close to your face but you manage to avoid all of them.

Once close enough you swing your sword across Starrks face but he leans backwards to dodge it.
Now his back and hip at an approximately 90 degree angle he starts falling backwards.
After he does a handstand with only his left arm he raises the gun in his right and fires as he springs up.

Jerking your head to the side you avoid the shot and use a fast forward lunge to close the distance.
The idea was to get in as close as possible to him since guns have a minimal range under which they are next to useless.
But as Starrk sidesteps your stab he pushes his right arm forward and shoots another Cero right at you.

Just barely managing to avoid it you see him drawing the gun in his left hand from its holster. But something's wrong.
Instead of aiming at you it appears that he wants to deliver an uppercut right into your stomach.
And once the pistol is in line with you he pulls the trigger.

You're sent flying backwards as the stronger of his two guns manages to hit you square in the chest.
Twirling in the air you manage to orient yourself in such a manner that you land on your feet but fall to your knees immediately afterwards.
Panting from the searing pain you look at Starrk.

''The hell was that?!''

''Gun kata.
The bastard child of martial arts and gun combat.
Hugely impractical and more for show.
Well for normal humans.''
He scratches the back of his head as he says that.
''Feeling like using your Resurrección yet?''

>Do as he asks.
>Show him that he's not the only trickster around
>He's using a basic hollow technique, you'll start doing the same

''Yeah, about that...''
You raise Basilisco and point it at Starrk.
''I don't think you've earned it yet.
Tell you what, let's have another go and if you succeed then I'll do it without another word.''

Then the second you finished that sentence Starrk raised his gun and fired it off immediately without any warning.
His instantaneous and surprisingly fast Ceros are a real menace.
This one was particularly powerful and it hit the mark dead on.

As the blinding blue energy fades away only your legs remain from the knee down.
Silence falls on the crowd once more as everybody is staring at the smoldering remains in shock.
In all that confusion Lilynette starts screaming like a banshee.

''STARRK! YOU GOD DAMNED IDIOT!
YOU KILLED HIM!''
Not paying any attention to her Starrk slams the pistol into his head.
''OUCH! YOU ASSHOLE!''

''Be quiet!''

''BE QUIET?!
YOU JUST ICED HIM!''

But as Starrks eyes are moving around, looking for something he feels a hand touching his shoulder.
He begins to uncontrollably shiver at the sensation of your touch and he turns around instinctively with his gun raised.
However rather than it doing anything useful for Starrk you simply bite down on the top part of Lilynettes barrel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIiYPJQWnfA

''OWOWOWOW!
HEY! WATCH IT!''

Starrk just stares at you in disbelief.
''H-how?!''

Then as one of your eyes begin to glow red you let out a deep laughter and slash across his face with Basilisco.
Starrk found himself in a difficult situation. Either his head gets lopped off or he abandones one of his weapons.
And while he makes the hard decision he does it just the fraction of a second too late and you manage to give him a small cut.
As your opponent is sliding backwards he quickly reaches for the bridge of his nose and finds what's very similar to a paper cut leaking blood.

You take Lilynette out of your mouth and start twirling her around.
''Ple-e-e-ease stop!
I'm getting nauseous!''
Chuckling a bit you toss her back to Starrk who snatches her out of the air.

''Nice gun.
Sadly the distribution of her weight is not to my liking.''

''How...''
He asks you.

''Slime clones.
Always works.''

''Hmph...
I see I under estimated you.''

''Heh...
You have no idea.''

''Okay then...''
He draws both of his guns at the same time.
''Lilynette...''

''S-Starrk?''

''No more messing around.
I'm getting shivers just by looking at him.''

''R-right!
Ready when you are!''
Starrk then takes aim.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT0WpdrCJYE

Your grin growing ever wider you no longer feel the need to suppress your power consciously and instead let it flow freely.
As you start laughing and your reiatsu begins to fill the area you make a mad dash towards Starrk whose first instinct is to start firing at you immediately.
From his right gun comes a steady stream of Ceros that are rather annoying to dodge and from his left come singular but very powerful blasts.
Luckily he holsters his left gun every time he fires so there aren't a whole lot of those.

Just as he fires another powerful Cero from his left and gets ready to holster it you take that as your chance to go in.
Though it's hard to see through Starrks VERY good poker face you'd say he's pretty confident right now.
Knocking his right hand armament aside you move in closer but as you do he raises his left gun before holstering it.
But he certainly doesn't see what's coming next.

Before he could fire off another shot you plug the chamber with your index finger much to everyones surprise.
Starrk even hesitates for a moment due to his sheer confusion but eventually decides to pull the trigger.
...
And nothing happens.

The shock on Starrks face is priceless.
You pull your finger free and you can already hear Lilynette screaming in terror.

''Ew! Ew! Ew!
IT'S GROSS!
STARRK! HE JAMMED THE CHAMBER!
IT'S ALL STICKY AND GOOEY!''

''What-''
Starrk tries to ask you but he quickly finds your knee planted firmly between his lungs and colon.
He haunches forward, grasping at the area where you just kicked him and you just walk away from him.

''Step one: Divert the enemies attention with a fake attack!
Step two: Blindside him with a move he can't predict!
Step three: Kick him while he's down!''
You gloat.
''Maybe you're the one who wrote the book on how to fight dirty but I'M the one who revised it!''

''Noted...''
Starrk finally manages to stand upright once more.
''So... changing the fire rate didn't work, lying about the recharge time didn't work...
Do we have anything else?''
He asks from Lilynette.

''Erm... we have That?''

''Oh... right.''
Starrk then raises both of his guns and they transform into a pair of swords right before your eyes.

Things are starting to look interesting.

Feeling confident in how things are heading you raise your sword.
''In that case...
Allow me to fulfill your wish Starrk.
MEND AND MAIM! BASILISCO!''

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdYkIF3C7PY

With your resurrection your full power is coming back to you and as the sealed portion of your reiatsu is also released the two spiritual pressures within the sealed off arena finally collide with one another.
Sparks begin to fly around as the two rather large reiatsus begin to grind against each other.
With jolts of electricity striking the ground and turning it into glass both you and Starrk begin to smile.

''Finally!''
He speaks up.

And with that he began charging you.
It was a rather large shift in paradigm for him but it was necessary due to his new weapon.
You raise your hands in a guard stance as he gets closer and closer.

However this doesn't mean you'll block his attacks.
The idea is that you'd much rather avoid what he has in store for you altogether and only parry should it become unavoidable.
And for the most part it works.

As Starrk swing his two blades around you do your best to punch their sides and change their course.
Every time it's the same, an attack with his left hand which is meant to open up your defenses with the actual strike coming from his right.
The same goes for when you are on the offensive, a simple parry with the left hand and a quick riposte with the right.
It honestly feels refreshing when he starts incorporating his legs into his sequences.

But within that storm of blades and flying fists you notice something.
This is all too straight forward for Starrk.
So you quickly focus your attention on his movements, his patterns, anything that could elude to the trickery.
And finally you figured it out.

Seeing how his current method of attacking didn't work Starrk decided to abandon using his left hand altogether and simply cut out the middle man by striking you with his right hand sword immediately.
But you're not falling for his trick.
You know the sword coming from his right is going to stop just short of hitting you.

Putting up a fake guard in anticipation of his attack you grab hold of the searing hot Cero blade.
When you see the left armament coming in for the killing blow you can't help but smirk.
Letting go of the sword you just grabbed with one hand you quickly stop the other one with your now free hand.

''Did you really think I wouldn't realize you're ambidextrous?!
Don't look down on me so much Starrk! I've seen you aim with both hands!''
You gloat.

''Tch...
You're truly a monster Kaizar...
My hands got torn open when I struck you... I didn't want this to happen...
Oh well.''

''Huh?''
You couldn't help but wonder at what Starrk meant by that.

But then it hit you.
The searing hot pain. And the loss of both of your hands.

I swear if we lose this fight because of that last role. Also did we finger bang his female half by ramming our finger into her barrel?

>>1410948

We regenerate, a hand is nothing.

>>1410948
I vaguely remember that Lilynettes butt is the guns Hammer.
And her head is the muzzle.

So you made her suck on your finger basically

>>1410955
Checked and we failed the DC so...yee

Oh thank god.

As you tumble away from your opponent you find yourself laying on your back with you new stumps hurting like hell.
After you collect yourself however you stop wincing and focus your powers in order to sprout a new pair.
Using these fresh limbs to stand up you look at Starrk who now appears to be holding a pair of MASSIVE greatswords rather than the two relatively normal looking longswords he previously had.

He swings one of them over his shoulder and lets it rest.
''My condolences to your wife.
Tell her I'll gladly pay for the cleaning service.''

Giving your new hands a squeeze just to make sure they are functional you look at Starrk.
''Tch...
Damn it. How could I forget?''

''Gran Rey Colmillo...
Please don't resent me for this.
I wasn't planning on using them, you kinda forced me to do it.''

''Yeah. No hard feelings.
A hand is basically nothing for me.''

''Damn... You really are scary.''

But with that said you find yourself having quite a bit of distance between yourself and Starrk.
If you're going to think of a way to deal with him, it's now.

Figuring that right now it'd be for the best to try and overpower Starrk when he's willing for a straight up fight you begin screaming.
Sweat begins to roll down your forehead as you keep shouting for an alarming amount.
But once you hit the threshold you stop and speak up.

''ASSAULT MODE!''

With the blood within your body coming to a boiling point and steam escaping through your pores you feel the all too familiar strength filling your body.
Now after using it quite a few times you finally feel accustomed to the form.
And while it still hurts it's still nothing compared to when you first achieved it.

Starrk raises an eyebrow at that.
''So... that's the form he used to beat Marr.''

''W-What are you gonna do Starrk?''
Lilynette asks him.

''Isn't it obvious?
I'm gonna have some fun!''

After raising one hand you beckon Starrk to come closer to you.
And he gladly obliges.
Dragging his two very heavy blades behind himself he begins to charge at you.
Just by the way he needs to move around with those things you'd guess that they must weigh a ton.
And if your previously cut off arms are any indication they are sharp as well.

However rather than going through with his charge attack Starrk changes his course and instead begins to run in circles around you while carving rather large tunnels into the ground with both of his weapons.
Once he ran around 3 laps around you he finally decides to make his move and lunge at you from the back but not slight off to the side.

Using your tail as a pivot you turn around to respond to Starrks assault head on.
The first attack of his is an upward stab aimed at your chest.
As they get closer you drive your elbows into the from the top to cause them to crash into the ground.
However as they do Starrk does a flip forward while still holding onto his swords.
He almost manages to dislocate his own shoulders but in turn he manages to deliver a double kick right in your face.

After landing back on your feet you see Starrk lifting his greatswords with the greatest of ease and rushing you again after mumbling something to Lilynette.
He begins charging you once more but this time he claps the two weapons together to form the mother of all swords to smite you with.
Despite the ease with which he can wield those monstrous hunks or reishi it looks like he's actually struggling with what he's planning on using on you.
Putting his entire body weight into the swing and turns around behind his back while dragging the weapons with himself.

What started out as a low attack on the left has swung around and became a high one coming from the right with the full force of whatever Starrk might've put into it plus his own weight and plus gravity.
Just by looking at it you can see how badly it'd hurt you if it hit.

So naturally you decide to collide with it head on.

Pulling back your left fist and focus as much reiryoku into it as possible you punch the blades so hard that it produces an effect very similar, if smaller in scale, than the one observed during your fight with Marr.
A powerful shockwave begins shaking the very foundations of the Arena as you struggle against Starrks attack.
And then you see it.

From the corner of your left eye you see a shadow darting past the battlefield.
You can't help but speak up.
''Got you!''

Still struggling with the paired greatswords you raise up your right hand quickly and in a way that your left arm is obscuring it.
You extend two of your fingers and begin focusing on them at which Starrk gets really nervous.
He looks to the side where you saw the shadow and speaks up.

''WATCH OUT! STA-''
But before he could finish you deactivated Assault mode and with the extra power gone from your body the swords begin cutting your left arm in half.
''WHOA!''
Starrk yelps in surprise.

But it's too late.
Lowering your right hand just a bit to poke out from under your left one you fire off the Cero you just built up and hear it colliding with something.

Once you manage to dislodge the swords from your arm you take a closer look at what you hit and you see...
A second Starrk.

He's lying on his side and groaning quite loudly.
The other Starrk that mutilated you rushes to his side.
''STARRK!''

''Lilynette?''
You ask her but she pays no attention to you.

The one you assume to be the actual Starrk sits up and gives you a rather defeated look.
''Okay... I give up.
This is not gonna work.''

You raise an eyebrow at that as your wounds are recovering.
''Are you sure?
I could go on.''

''Nah...
It's fairly obvious that I can't beat you.
Not like this anyway.''

You shrug.
''How about fighting normally then?''

''Nah...
Maybe next time.
I don't think I'd be stupid enough to try fighting you any other way again.
And I'm just beat...''

You shrug and extend your good arm to him.
''Very well.''
After you help him up you ask the obvious question.
''So what's up with this?
You can clone yourself now?''

''N-no.
Remember how I split my soul into two and that's how I became an Arrancar?
Well that's my deal. I can split my soul into fragments.
This is just an image created from a very tiny fraction of our soul and Lilynette is inhabiting it for now.
I kinda got the idea from your goo substitute.''

''Hmmm...
They do say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.''
You then seal your powers back into Basilisco.
''Now then... How about a drink?''

''Only if you're paying.''

''Heh... cheap skate.''

And I think that's a good place to stop.
But I'll resume, if not on Saturday then on Sunday

See you guys until then

Out of curiosity: what effect did our fight with Starrk achieve on the crowd?
>Further realization that everyone we have ever used Segunda Etappa in front of was a Soul Reaper, dead, or both.

>>1411277
>was a Soul Reaper, dead, or both.

Well since there were no quincy or fullbringers or bounts around yeah. Since Shiggydiggies and hollows are both already dead. Ghosts.

>>1411509
You know what I mean.
Aizen hit corpse2, levels of corpse heretofore considered unlikely.
Unohana may have been there.
Sadbat is watering flowers in Heaven.
CaptainSalt was there and murdered BlindBug himself.

>>1411817
Someday we'll work our way up to corpse9, where contact with the corpse of someone we killed will turn whoever touched it into another instance of corpse9

>>1412317
Oh fuck me.
I have no idea how I managed to fuck that up...
Okay, here's the corrected one:

>>1411277
Their thought process was something like this:
>Starrk is Stronk? The fuck?
Starrk uses Resurección
>OH FUCK! STARRK IS REALLY STRONK!
They start enganing in a fight that has more mind games involved than a game of Paradox-Billiards-Voxtroyan Roulette-Fourth Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip poker.
>The Fuck is Going on?!
Starrk and Kaizar decide to fuck it and start bashing each other in the face
>Okay, we can follow this. But it's still fucking scary

>>1411817
Unohana was there.
what I can't remember if Isane was presant or not

And for a moment there I had trouble figuring out who you meant by Captain Salt as no canon characters were given that name.
But I figured it out. I like the nickname

After sealing your powers back into Basilisco you walk up to Starrk and extend your arm to him.
He chuckles a bit and accepts your assistance.

He looks at his copy which Lilynette is inhabiting.
They both nod at the same time and the copy starts to break apart alongside Starrks Resurrección.
Slowly the reishi particles begin to collect in one place and you see the silhouette of Lilynette taking form.
Once they are done Starrk has returned to his regular form and Lilynette became her own separate entity.

''So...
How about that drink?''
Starrk asks you.

You turn to look at Lilynette.
''Do you drink?''

''Huh?
What's the catch?
You're usually more of a hardass than this.''

You shrug.
''Nothing.
I'm just in a good mood.''

''Then if you're paying I'll accept!''

''Good.''
You turn around and signal them to follow you.
''Shall we?''

Leading the two of them out of the arena you immediately start seeing the problem with your situation.
Dozens of fans, including both attractive women and VERY enthusiastic fighters, have gathered outside waiting for either Starrk or yourself.
Looking at the cowboy behind you his feelings about the situation were rather apparent.

''Ugh...
You didn't tell me this would happen...
What a pain.''

''The curse of popularity Starrk.
But don't worry, they'll get bored eventually.
So let's use the back door until then.''

He blinks a few times.
''There is a back door?''

''It's more of a service entrance.
They mostly use it to bring in all the food while the audience is busy blocking the main entrance.
Let's go.''

Concluding that he's going to need to rely on secrecy he donned his poncho once more, making him much harder to detect via Pesquísa.
After making your way through the back entrance and through the various nearby back alleys you finally end up at a reasonable looking little tavern.
Treating both of your opponents to a well deserved drink like a good sport you leave them just around the time when the noise from the marching crow was getting louder and louder.
For a moment you almost felt bad for Starrk but then you remembered that he asked for this.

Leaving Starrk alone with his newfound popularity you made your way back home.
Luckily for you the majority of the gathered up audience has already dispersed so your walk home didn't take too long.

Upon entering you were greeted by an eager Harribel.
''Welcome back!''

''Hey there Dear.
Anything happened while I was gone?''

''Nothing much.''
She grabs hold of your head and nudges it from left to right as she examines you for injuries.

Letting out a sigh you touch her hand and pull it away but keep hold of it.
''You know I can't get hurt dear.
Don't worry too much.''

She pauses for a moment.
''I know.
You just look dirty.''
She lets go of your hand and starts making her way to the bathroom.
''Your meal is in the kitchen.
I'm sure you can handle it.''

''Yup.''

After heating up your lunch you sat down and started eating the curry Tia prepared for you.
Shortly afterwards Tia came in as well with a bunch of cotton balls in hand.
And as you were busy shoveling food into yourself Tia took care of you.
Taking a bottle of alcohol and pouring it on the cotton she cleaned off all the dirt that got mixed with your blood and hardened into a black mess.

By the time you set your utensils down and thanked her for the meal she was also finished with you.
''There.
Now you look like someone I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with.''

''Very funny!''

She chuckles a bit at that.
''Now then...
From what I've heard-''

''Oh god they're already talking about it?''

''Is it really that surprising?''

*sigh*
''I suppose not.''

''But as I was saying.
I heard you had it rough.
So I'll just let you rest.
Please keep an eye on Sofia even if you decide to take a nap.
There is some milk in the fridge should she get hungry.
And I trust you can make yourself dinner.''

''Huh?
Are you going somewhere?''

She nods.
''I received an invitation from Ms Kurosaki.
She said it was urgent.''

''Hmmm.
That's odd. Did she say what it's about?''

''No. But apparently there will be a big crowd so she asked me to only bring one person at max.''

''Oh?
Who might that be?''

''I chose Sung-Sun.
Mila Rose and Apacci have plenty of stuff to do as is.
I didn't want to bother any of them.''

After that conversation ended, true to her word, Harribel headed out to grab Cyan before heading out to the human realm.
Pretty much right after you kissed her goodbye and locked the door you made yourself a mug of hot chocolate and threw yourself on the couch.
Gently blowing on the scorching hot liquid to cool it down you pull a blanket out from within the couch and tucked yourself in.

But just as you got comfortable you heard noises coming from the next room.
Sighing loudly you got up and went to get Sofia.
After bringing her in you found yourself relaxing with your daughter and laughing at the brown moustache she got after taking a sip from your mug.

For a moment there you started wondering.
This is pretty much the first time Harribel is not at home for any extended period of time.
Now's your only chance to do ANYTHING you want with your daughter without having to worry about your wives wrath.

You let out a grin.
''Sofia.
What do you say we go out and have some fun?''
She lets out a satisfied little giggle as you poke her on the nose.
''Then it's decided!''

After locking up the place and pulling all the curtains shut you flick the air while holding Sofia in your arm.
As soon as the Garganta opens up you step through.

Not soon after Sofia burries herself in your chest and moans in a scared manner.
You try your best to calm her down.

''It's okay Sofia.
Don't be afraid, daddy's here.''
After hushing her a few more times she finally calms down.

With newfound curiosity she's staring deep into the dark abyss, no longer afraid of its mystery.
After popping over to the living world however her attitude changes.
At first you shield her eyes so the sudden outburst of light doesn't damage her.
But pretty much the moment you lift your palm her eyes widen in bewilderment.

Sofia is looking all over the place, trying to reach out for everything around her.
It's easy to understand why though, since this is her first time seeing many of autumns colors.
It's sadly still difficult to find shades of yellow, red or orange in Hueco Mundo.

Feeling immensely satisfied with her reaction you snatch a few leaves from the air and give them to her.
''There you go!
Leaves.''
At first she puts them in her mouth but she quickly spits them out once she starts tasting them.
''Hehehe.
Come on, there is a whole lot more I want to show you.''

Your path leads you through a small park where you see a bunch of children playing on the fields.
No doubt they're trying to get in as much playtime while they can still go outside before the harshness of winter arrives.
But to your surprise one of the dogs that are playing with the children stops and his ears perk up.
Stopping dead in your track you can see the dog staring right at you.
It begins walking to you and it becomes clear that it can detect your presence.

Once he's right in front of you, you crouch down so you're leveled with it.
He slowly walks closer to you and begins sniffing Sofia who then reaches out for the canine in her curiosity.
The dog lets her touch him and even licks Sofias hand, which your daughter greatly appreciates.

Sadly you didn't get to pet the puppy as its attention was drawn elsewhere when a bunch of older kids started showing up.
It became very clear, very fast that their intentions were less than good.
A chubby older kid started pushing around the smaller ones, taunting them in the process.
They dared the smaller kids to do something and demanded to leave if they didn't.
Now you're not one for child abuse but you also have a particular hate for bullying.

''Hey... Sofia.''
Your daughter reacts to her name and looks at you.
''Look over there!''
You turn her so she can see the other kids.

Forming a fist with your free hand you prepare for a flick and take aim.
Your target is not the bully, rather the piece of dirt under his feet.
As you release your attack the overweight boy trips and falls.

File: japanese-market.jpg (112 KB, 650x325)

112 KB JPG

Now the laughing stock of the entire playground, the bully runs away on the verge of crying once he manages to get up.
He might not have been hurt at all but landing face first as he's intimidating his peers managed to destroy him on a variety of levels.
One might even call it divine retribution.
And as an added bonus it seems that your daughter greatly appreciates slapstick as she begins to giggle loudly.

But after being done with that you decided to resume your walk as this was but a small detour.
There is one particular location you'd love to take Sofia to and it's still ways to go.

On the way there you take a moment to talk with your daughter.
''Now Sofia...
You may not get this. But if you do!
Should we come across a black cat could you do me a favor and barf on her like you did with me that one time?''

Sadly she doesn't seem to respond to you.
*sigh*
''I thought as much.''

After a bit more walking you finally arrive at your destination: Karakura Towns commerce district.

Now if the colors of nature managed to take your daughter by surprise all the stuff that's present here must be quite astonishing for her.
The market you've arrived at is simply so big and has such a variety of goods available that you're willing to bet that if you know the right guy to talk to you could buy pretty much anything here that's legal.

But deciding not to waste your time aimlessly wandering around you make a beeline towards what you came for: The stalls selling pastries.

Holding Sofia tightly you pick up your speed just a little bit and snag a single piece of sugary goodness from each of them.
After gathering a variety of shortcakes and sweets you jumped up to one of the taller buildings and sat down at the edge of its roof.

Once you're comfortable you give Sofia one of the pastries to nibble on.
It looks like that the cakes are more to her liking than the leaves are and she gives voice to her joy by giggling.

After indulging in the treats yourself however you find someone disturbing your quiet little moment as someone is apparently screaming your name.

''GOOD MORNING KAIZAR-SAN!''

>>1412638
Alright who has the balls?

>>1412638
Is the baby startled?

''Orihime?''
You speak up once you spot the orange haired girl amidst the drifting orange leaves.

It's rather strange that you'd meet her here of all places but it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Letting out a sigh you jump off and just as you're about to land you cushion your fall by making a soft mass of reishi just under your feet.

''Good morning to you as well.''

She looks like she's about to say something but then she notices Sofia clinging onto your shirt.
''OH MY GOSH!
IS THAT A BABY?!
SHE'S SOOOO CUTE!''

You look around the area as all bystanders start giving Inoue weird looks as she starts screaming to herself.
''Erm... I think we should take this somewhere more secluded.''

''O-oh...''
She begins whispering.
''I... forgot.''

After finding an isolated place with a bench you both sit down and Orihime simply loses all connection to the outside world as she's trying to communicate with Sofia.
''Erm...
What are you doing?''
You ask her.

''Oh I can speak baby!''

''What?!''

''It's true!
I had a baby sitting job once.
There I learned that I can understand their language somehow.''

''...
Okay.
What's she saying?''

''Well she's not much for talking.
So that's why I'm trying to start a conversation with her.''

Meanwhile you notice Sofia trying to reach out for Orihime with both her arms stretched outward.
You look at her and quickly figure out what she wants and pull her closer to yourself.
''No. That's bad!''

Orihime looks at you confused.
''Huh?''

''N-nothing. I was talking to the baby.''

She lets out a huge gasp.
''Do you speak baby as well?!''

Again, you're left speechless by this girl.

when she was asked in high school what she wants to become when she grows up she answered: GIANT KILLER ROBOT w/ LASERS!

>>1412704
If we slapped her in the face with some goop and made her a vizard would that help her out in the character department?

I kind of feel sorry for the poor girl, being reduced to nothing more than a waggling pair of tits and an annoying voice.

>>1412711
She's a fullbringer not a shinigami.

>>1412711
The goo? That's not enough.
Nothing short of the Hogyokus nonsense could help her

>>1412682
>I heard there is an even at the Kurosaki household, you weren't invited?
>Start introducing her to your daughter.

>>1412709
wouldn't you want to be a giant killer robot with lasers?

>>1412704
>>1412709
Yeah she was a bit retarded early on but later she was more of a ditzy klutz I think.
But yeah, you're right sad that she was never really a developed character and instead got a shoehorned happy ending for her.

>>1412716

Well we do have it in our chest.

I'm not saying we should use it now, but it is an option.

Okay

>>1412709
I'd totally become a killer giant robot with fucking laser beams and plasma cannons if given the chance.

>Hogyoku's face after seeing Orihime's mind

>>1412720
>>1412725
That's not the point.
The point is that she answered to the school consultants that she unironically wants to become a killer robot.
That IS her dream! She's so detached from reality that it's not even funny.

>>1412721
The only thing that had the potential to make me like her was her inner struggle when she was captured by Ulquiorra.
Her inner struggles were real and you could really feel for her as she became very relatable.

FUCK! She was debating whether or not to destroy the Hogyoku when Aizen just handed it to her!
SHE COULD'VE SACRIFICED HERSELF TO SAVE EVERYONE!

But nope.
She bitched out.
Even though she could've rejected the plotrock from existence, she didn't.
And that was the end of her character ''arc''.

More like a straight line down

>>1412739
PEOPLE LIKE THAT ACTUALLY EXIST. We just usually don't let them on tv.

More like this

>>1412748
I get that but here's the thing from the stories point:

She destroys the rock.
Aizen either just kills her on the spot or sets up his underlings to torture her.

Either way the entire audience will sympathize with her and start rooting for her success, even if they hated her before.
And the heroes get even more validation to keep going.

In it's current state it confirmed the hatred of many and made many others join that band.
Orihime could've become something great at that point. Instead she remained bland and unlikeable

>>1412757
Alot of people actually would't risk there own well being doing something like that, I hate the cunt but people like her exist just without the magic time magic.

>>1412757
She certainly could've become a great fleshed out character there yes, but the fact that Kubo never really touched on what happend there or generally to her off-screen.
Maybe she was hypnotized into restoring the plotrck instead of whatever she was planning or god knows what.

But Kubo continued to not flesh her out afterwards.
Her desire to be a person Ichigo can rely upon? Suddenly there in the last arc.

>>1412762
Yeah. But she has the time magic.

If you're given all that power and waste it, why have it in the first place?

The only purpose of her powers is to render any damage dealt to the good guys, or anyone for that matter pointless.

>>1412704

Or perhaps she fears the responsibility and the burden of her powers so much that she subconsciously hampers herself so she can't develop them to their full potential.

Not everyone has the fortitude to sit and rule under the Sword of Damocles.

Or maybe she's just there to have big boobs and bigger potential but Kubo forgot about all that.

>>1412770
Funnily enough, I think her boobs got bigger as the show went on...

>>1412763
>>1412764
>>1412770
>>1412762

Let's just all agree to blame Kubo for the travesty of Orihime's lack of character agency, development, and the forced fate of becoming Ichigo's breeding sow, even though they didn't have enough chemistry to boil fucking water.

>>1412783
They most definitely did

''So anyway...
This is my little girl Sofia.''

''Oh wow...
I didn't know hollows could have kids.
Congratulations!''

''Thank you.''

''M-may I?''

You nod and raise up Sofia so Orihime can get closer to her.
She almost immediately starts tickling the little girl.
As the two of them begin laughing at once you can't help but smile at how endearing they are.
Dull as she might be that Inoue is still a sweet girl.

''But... this reminds me Orihime.''

''Huh?''
She pauses and looks up at you.

''What are you doing out here?
Are none of your friends around?''

She shakes her head.
''I'm just doing some shopping here at the market.''

''You're doing the shopping?''

''Yeah.
I live alone so I have to.''

''O-oh.
I-is it a touchy subject?
If so then forgive me for asking.''

''No. It's fine.
My parents died when I was very little.
So my brother Sora raised me for most of my life.
But... ever since he's gone I'm alone.
I do the shopping here usually because it's a bit cheaper than the stores.
And the ingredients here are MUCH better too! So I can cook a lot.''


''I... I'm sorry.
But at least you became quite capable as a result!''

''Yeah!
I can clean on my own, do the shopping and cook!
Hey! Do you want to give it a try?
I brought some of my homemade cookies with me!
They are filled with butter, cheese and gummy bears!''

Your stomach twists into a knot, signaling that if you dare to eat that thing it'll not hesitate to shut off for ever as revenge.
Swallowing hard you politely refuse her offer.

''N-no thanks.
I had a meal not too long ago and I uh... acquired these pastries already.''

''Okay! More for me then!''
She then takes out one of those rather odd looking cookies of hers and chows down on it.
After finishing it however she has a rather serious look on her face.

''Erm... I actually wanted to thank you.
But I didn't really have the chance to do so.''

''Huh? Thank me?
For what?''

''The others told everything you did for them.
You saved the others and helped all of them one way or another.
Tatsuki, Chad, Kurosaki-kun and sometimes even Uryu praises you!
Tatsuki-chan especially.
Ever since meeting you she changed a lot.
She's more confident and... I think she's a lot happier too.''
Then Orihime leans in closer to you and begins whispering to you.
''I even heard that she got herself a boyfriend.
But don't tell her you heard that from me!''

You struggle to contain your laughter but a few snickers do manage to get through your blockade.

>>1412801

Huh, is her brother still a hollow, cause we might actually have met the guy if he wandered into town.

>>1412806
No. In canon it was Grand Fisher and his mooks hollowfying.
He passed to SS safely in this timeline

>>1412808
Cool, good for him.

But as Orihime is wondering about what could have been that funny about what she said something catches your attention.
A voice coming from deep within your soul. Your old acquaintance, the Hogyoku.
Though it usually remains dormant and only shows itself once matters concern the orb itself he sounds pretty agitated right now.

''Young Master...
I beg of thee!
Liberate me from the presence of this wench!''

''What's wrong?''
You almost completely zone out as you communicate with the Hogyoku.
What little of your mind remains in the present is focusing on holding Sofia in a safe position.

''Oh... you do this too, huh?''
Orihime muses to herself.

''Master... Are you aware of this womans abilities?''

You nod.
''To an extent.
But I never had the chance of observing it up close.''

''Then allow me to enlighten you.
Back when one of my halves were sealed within Kuchiki Rukia it came in close proximity of hers.
Her soul resonated with mine... She felt an overwhelming sensation of uselessness and wished to do something about it.''

''Oh no...''

''So according to her wish I granted her the power to stand on her own.
To protect what she wishes and to fight for whatever cause she might believe in.''

''But?''

''But she has tarnished my work by squandering the potential bestowed upon her!
It infuriates me!
Especially since her mind is so chaotic it pains me to peer into it!
Please master! I can't remain in her presence for much longer!
Her constantly shifting thoughts are driving me mad!''

You let out a weary sigh and Orihime gives you an odd look.
''Is something wrong Kaizar-san?''

You give Orihime a stern look.

''Orihime...
We've got to talk.''

''About what?''

''You.
More specifically, your powers.''

''Huh?''

''You thanked me because I helped your friends.
But I'm sensing something... something else that's bothering you.
You're grateful to me because I helped them where you couldn't, isn't that right?!''

''W-what?! Nonono!
That's not what I meant! I'm just grateful-''

''I vaguely recall you wanting to help them.
Then was that just a lie?''

''N-no but-''

''You acquired these abilities of yours but still you couldn't be of assistance to others!
And that's eating you up inside, isn't it?''

She pauses for a moment.
''Y-yeah.''

''I knew it...''
Following that you stand up and extend an arm to her.
''Grab my hand.
We're going to go and train!''

''R-really? L-like right now?
B-but your baby-''

''Oh you'd be surprised.
Now: Grab. My. Hand.''

After a very small amount of consideration she looks up at you and her determination is already visible.
''Okay.''
She extends her hand to you.

With a wicked smile you help her stand up and then open up the Garganta once more.
She hesitates for a moment as she gazes into the darkness but eventually decides to step through.
''Where are we going?''
She asks as the gateway closes behind her.

''To your house.
You can drop off your groceries there.''

''H-how do you know where I live?''

You don't answer her but instead point at your nose.
As you lead her along the walkway you open up the portal right inside her apartment.
She quickly hurries out and puts her groceries away before returning to your side.

''No...
Get back in there.''

''H-huh?''

''Do you expect to train in a skirt?!
Go and grab some pants!''

Nervously she stands at attention and even salutes you for some reason before giving you a ''Yessir'' and hurrying back in.
To her credit she doesn't take for ages to change and comes back to you in a green track suit.
''That's better.''
You nod at her before closing the portal.

>green track suit.

Now I'm sad because I'm reminded of the most wasted potential character ever in recent memory.

>>1412948
Brah...
He's going to be featured heavily in the next arc.
And if the intro is any indication he's getting his Mystic form back

>>1412916
Damn, an arrancar arc of our own would've gotten a lot of priceless reactions from the gang and soulsociety.
>>1412948
God damn it.

>>1412960
Yeah... I was really looking forward to it as well.
Oh well

The next time you opened up the Garganta the portal ended up connecting you to a rocky, mountain area.
As you step through you look around and see Karakura town off in the distance.

''Right...
This place should do.
It's unlikely anyone will show up here.''
You walk around the plateau you just found and find it satisfactory.

Meanwhile Orihime is shivering a bit.
''Achoo!
Oh my... it's cold up here.''

''It's just the wind.
Once we get started you'll complain about how hot it is...''

She looks around and shivers once more as the cold wind hits here.
''Won't I catch a cold that way?''

''I have means of dealing with that.
And did you come to complain or to train?!''

She stands at attention once more.
''To train Sir!''

''Good.''

''B-but... how are we gonna train?''

''Hmmm...''
You put your hand on your chin and start pondering.

Her powers are obviously oriented towards supporting others, providing defense or healing. That sort of stuff.
If she got in some practice with shielding or repairing things she might become a decent frontline medic.
Or...

It's pretty clear that she's very meek and squeamish.
That makes her ill suited for combat but it can also hinder her healing.
As, if you remember correctly, she operates on a time manipulating power that's tied to her emotional state.
The possibility that she'll just shut off and becomes unable to heal anyone if she's subjected to too much horror is all to real.
By attempting to turn her into a powerful fighter with healing abilities, like yourself, you might be able to fix that.

Oh geez, this is just like that one episode of the Dog Whisperer where Cesar Milan was tasked to discipline two hyperactive golden retrievers.

It almost broke him because those two dogs were just too damn friendly and refused or didn't take to his training because Cesar was too used to dealing with overly aggressive or neglected dogs. They just thought he wanted to play and nearly wore him out until he had to write an entirely new playbook for golden retrievers.

>>1413137

Dammit, we're in exactly the same boat.

We're used to training badasses or potential badasses, not, well, empty headed teenagers with more power than they have any right to have.

Even Ichigo at least kinda earned his power, barely, after a few beatings at least.

''Well the way I see it...''
You remove your hand from your chin and look straight at Orihime.
''If your powers are directly tied to your mental state then it's best if we train your willpower first.''

''That's right!''
An unknown voice spoke up and you immediately put your hand on Basiliscos pommel.

''Who said that?!''
You demand an answer from the mysterious individual.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFlG7KN6OqY

Then to your surprise Orihimes hairpins begin to divide into six fragments and these fragments turn int little flying but humanoid creatures.
''I did!
You got a problem with that?!''
The black little sprite growls at you.

''Tsubaki! Please don't be mean to him!''
Orihime asks the tiny thing.

''A-Are these your...''

''That's right!''
The very effeminate but still male sprite speaks up to you as it, alongside the two female ones, fly to you.
''We are Orihimes power.
Each of us draws from a different emotion of hers to power our abilities.
And all of us has a distinct purpose to fulfill.''

As the male in the red dress speaks to you the female ones are drawn to Sofia.
''Oh my! A baby!
How cute!''
They fly dangerously close to her and you snap at them.

''Hey! Get away from her!''

They get scared and scatter away from you.
But seeing as they got the wrong idea (mostly) you point at your daughters arms that are reaching for the tiny fairies.
''She has a bad habit of putting everything she can grab into her mouth.
And believe me, she'd eat you. No doubt about that.''

''Oh... I see.
Then allow me to thank you for saving us!''
They start buzzing around you like flies, asking pointless questions from you.
After a while you feel like you've had enough of their niceness.

''SHUT UP!''
You snap at them.
''We came here to train!
Not for a freakin' teaparty!''
You turn your attention back to Orihime.
''You! You have a shield, right?!''

''Y-yeah.''

''Good.
Put it up.''

''Santen Kesshun!''

As Orihime reaches forward 3 of the 6 sprites go to her and after crossing each others path in the air form a triangular shield before her.
Satisfied with this you walk up to it and give it a backhanded slap and the whole thing just shatters to pieces effortlessly.
You look at how easily it broke apart and then look back at Orihime.

''That was weak!
Again!''

''B-but...''

''But what?''

''It'll just break again...''

You slap yourself in the face at that.

>>1413217
>''It'll just break again...''

Well with that attitude it will. She's too dense to understand the point to this training, isn't she?

''Ugh...
Okay. J-Just trust me on this one.''

''O-okay.''
She puts her arms forward once more.
''Santen Kesshun!''

The shields is before you again.
At first glance it doesn't look any different but you give it the benefit of the doubt and slap it once more.
Exactly like last time it shatters in the same manner.

''See? It broke again.''

You're left speechless.
''Y-you didn't change anything about it!''

''Because you told me to make it again so I did.''

Okay, maybe she just doesn't get it.
''Orihime... make it again.''

This time she doesn't hesitate and raises the shield again.
But now you raise up Sofia like in that movie you saw the Lion King.
''Sweaty! Spit.''

To your surprise she actually understands what you want her to do and you can already see her cheeks puff up as water begins to gather in her mouth.
Then she shoots it out in a condensed ball of water and it hits the shield right in the middle.
...
And it shatters once more.

Putting Sofia back into a more stable position you speak up to Orihime.
''You see? My newborn can break it.
That means it's weak! Either make it stronger or change something about it so it DOESN'T break.''

''B-but... this is as strong as I can make it!''

The fairy in the black clothing then flies up to her and starts pulling on her hair.
''HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT OUR POWER DEPENDS ON YOUR EMOTIONS YOU STUPID GIRL!''

At this moment you feel like that little sprite is your spirit animal, or the manifestation of your rage.
Either way Orihime is simply begging him to let go of her rather than actually paying attention to what he's saying.
Taking pity on the girl you walk up to her and pinch the little buggers wing and toss him aside effortlessly.

''Okay.
Perhaps we tackled this from the direction.
Maybe we'll need to go back even more towards the basics.''
You walk a safe distance away from her.
''Now watch!''

You gradually stop suppressing your power and it starts to rise.
Once Orihime feels the full force of your reiatsu you conclude that it's time to kick it up a notch and start actively pumping more energy out.
''HaaaaaaaAAAA!''
Screaming is entirely optional but it helps to pump you up.

''See?
Emotion is power.
Using them is the key to drawing out your true strength!''
Your daughter begins to giggle as you start glowing blueish-green.
''Even my daughter gets it.
Now... Search your feelings Orihime!
Call forth your emotions and build them up until you explode!''

She clenches her fist and ''crouches'' down in the most girlish way possible.
''HNNNNNG!''
Her screaming, if it can even be called that, sounds pathetic and half hearted.
But to her credit she manages to muster some reiatsu.

This is getting sad to watch.
''Okay... at least you get what I want you to do.
Now... you just need to get the ''explode'' part...''

''B-but... that's dangerous, isn't it?''

''Ugh...
Listen! You can't worry about harming others or yourself in a fight!
That's just the nature of things!''

>>1413303
At least the dude one is willing to help us with this, the others are just floating around with their thumbs up their asses.

>>1413335

There must be something that we can do to Orihime to trigger some sort of rage button or determination button.

Those spirits of hers are kinda part of her subconscious or something, aren't they? Maybe we can have a huddle with them to try and get some insight into how to make her less passive and more proactive with her powers. Or perhaps even turn her passivity into a strength somehow.

You're left scratching your head about what to do next.
Anything you come up with may sound good on paper but the second you give it more thought you realize that it wouldn't work on Orihime.

''Just forget it!''
The black sprite flies to you.
''I've been trying to knock some sense into this boneheaded dumbass ever since I was born.
It's like playing chess with a horse, she just doesn't get it.
Luckily for her that head of hers is truly thick and can take some serious punishment...''

''Forget it!''
You shut him down quickly.
''I haven't backed out from anything like this in my life and I won't start now!''

Then you take a good look at Orihime who is just kicking rocks around as she appears to be a bit bored.
But... you can hear the voice of the Hogyoku calling out to you once more.
''It's as I've told you.
This is the work that I'm the least proud of.
And it's not only her fault, I've given her a power she can't use.
Perhaps I made a mistake...''
The Hogyoku pauses for a moment.
''Maybe... there is a way to fix this.''

''And that's?''

''She's lacking the drive to utilize her power to its fullest.
So the answer is that we give her some more emotions to compensate.''

You pause.
''How do we do that?''

''Perhaps linking her to you might solve the issue.
If we expose her to a hollows hunger and desire to kill...
Yes, it might serve as a catalyst to awaken her rage and her killing intent.''

As you're thinking about that you notice something odd.
The tiny sprite knelt down before you.
''The hell?''
You ask it.

''F-Forgive me father!
I haven't realized it's you!
My deepest apologies for my inappropriate attitude!''

You can hear the Hogyoku once more.
''How curious.
It sees me as its creator.
What's more, it detected my presence...''

''You didn't expect this?''

''No.
This is a truly interesting turn of events.''

As interesting as that bit of info is you have other things to worry about.
Orihime is still stuck in a ditch and you can't seem to get her out of it.

>Try the Hogyokus advice and link her to yourself

If that doesn't work, maybe we can have her try teaching us something that's really near and dear to her heart and act so intentionally dense and have such bad taste that we test the limits of her patience?

>>1413367
>>Try the Hogyokus advice and link her to yourself

>>1413367
All we need to do is convince her to protect a rock or something on the ground and then try to smash it. Maybe a bug somewhere. Clearly. In all seriousness though if we could get her to focus and give her a goal in the right now to distract her from her own idiocy it would probably help. Doesn't actually matter what.
