Chapter 445 - Hela VS... (I)

[Urahara Shop, Karakura Town] 

"Why did you not answer my phone calls? Apologise now!" Rukia demanded as she continued to give stinkeye to Urahara. Urahara simply chuckled nervously. 

"Hahaha… I was busy with something important" Urahara gave a weak excuse as she chuckled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head. 

Rukia's glare intensified. It was clear that Rukia didn't seem to buy Urahara's excuse and she was clearly unimpressed with his behaviour. Urahara finally released a sigh when he saw that his act didn't work. 

"Sorry" Urahara muttered weakly and hung down his head. Yoruichi was sitting at the window sill as she continued to watch the conversation with an amused look in her eyes. 

"Fine…" Rukia finally decided to drop the matter and sat down on the opposite side of Kisuke Urahara. .

Tessai entered the room with a tray in his hands, he placed the tray on the table and Urahara picked up one cup while Tessai extended the other cup towards Rukia. Rukia accepted the cup with a small smile on her face. 

"What can you tell me about Quincy?" Rukia asked and took a small sip. 

Urahara remained completely silent for a minute. "It has been quite some time since anyone had asked me about Quincies" Urahara mused as he continued sipping his tea. 

"...It is… was a tribe scattered throughout the world, they specialized in destroying Hollows" Urahara muttered and Rukia tilted her head in understanding. 

"Quincies were rendered extinct 200 hundred years ago, that is why I used past tense" Urahara said in a neutral tone. Rukia was shocked by the revelation. 

"How did they come to be?" Rukia asked curiously and Urahara gave her a small nod to acknowledge her question. 

"They were humans like Kurosaki Ichigo, at the beginning they could see spirits just like him so, with time they discovered the existence of Hollows and they started to train in order to destroy Hollows" Urahara said and he gave Rukia a calculative look. 

"Their mission was to destroy Hollows just like Shinigamis but they differed on whether or not Hollows should be killed. As you know Shinigamis purify the Hollows and send them to Soul Society" Urahara said and Rukia nodded her head as she reached a conclusion. 

"...Whereas Quincies destroyed Hollows, completely killing the Souls. I kind of understand and agree with their logic as Hollows get to enjoy the peace of Soul Society even after killing so many" Urahara said and looked straight into Rukia's eyes. 

Rukia didn't know how to react to Urahara's statement. "Quincies believed that by destroying Hollows they were avenging their loved ones and that belief is why Quincies were destroyed" Urahara said coldly as he also finished his tea. 

Rukia was about to ask something but she was interrupted when her Hollow Locator started to beep. Rukia lets out an irritated growl as she pulls out her Hollow Locator only to find that the Hollow was killed. 

"Looks like Ichigo is doing a good job" Rukia mused excitedly but once again another Hollow appeared on the screen. This one was also destroyed only after a couple of seconds. Rukia frowned in confusion. 

Urahara solemnly shook his head and stared outside the window. Both Yoruichi and Tessai had similar looks on their faces. "What is wrong with this thing?!!" Rukia exclaimed hysterically as several Hollows started to appear inside the city. 

"What the hell is wr…" That was all Rukia was able to say before all of them felt a massive amount of Spiritual Pressure. They felt like their whole being was going to be crushed by the Spiritual Pressure. 

The next second, the Spiritual Pressure was gone. Cat Yoruichi's head shot towards Urahara who had a horrified look on his face. 

Urahara also gave her a look and both of them nodded their heads. Urahara shot up from his position and grabbed his cane and used Flash Step to disappear. 

Only Urahara and Yoruichi were able to sense that the Spiritual Pressure was heading towards the location of Ishida Uryu. The two of them were quite familiar with his Reiatsu. 

Rukia simply plopped down on the ground with a terrified look on her face. Her whole body was trembling in fear. She had never imagined that someone's Spiritual Pressure could be so strong. 

While Rukia was still shaking like a leaf in fear, Urahara had almost reached Uryu's location. 'Please… just a little bit more' Urahara begged inside his mind and he reached Uryu. 

His relief turned into horror as a woman clad in a green and black Skin tight suit also appeared beside Uryu and the woman swung her sword with the intention of beheading Ishida Uryu. 

Urahara grabbed the back of Uryu's uniform and pulled him back. The woman's glowing green eyes focused on him. The woman knew that she would miss it but she didn't look displeased, in fact, she looked cheerful. 

The woman simply grinned as she licked her lips. Her eyes were filled with menace and Urahara could feel huge amounts of bloodlust pouring out of the woman. He had seen that look before in the eyes of the First Kenpachi… 

Once again the woman started to release her Spiritual Pressure and Urahara felt like he was standing in front of Captain Commander. 'This is bad' Urahara thought as he finally recognized the woman. 

"It's nice to meet you, Hela-San" Urahara decided to greet the woman as he gave her a small bow, and the looked woman started to cackle in mad glee. 

'Yep, definitely, a mistake' Urahara cursed inside his mind. Kisuke Urahara might look completely calm and strong on the outside but he was panicking beyond measure inside his mind.

Ishida Uryu was currently gasping for air due to the immense amount of Spiritual Pressure the woman was releasing. His eyes rolled back and he finally passed out. Hela noticed that stopped releasing her Spiritual Pressure. 

"Pathetic!!" Hela spat out in disgust as her eyes were once again focused on Kisuke Urahara. "You aren't pathetic like him. I am impressed" Hela said as she nodded her head. Before Hela could continue a Hollow appeared at the end of the street. 

Urahara's eyes also flicked in the direction of the Hollow for an instant but they focused back on Hela. "Arise" Hela said and Astral Figures started to form out of her shadow. 

'Is this her Zanpakutou ability?' Urahara wondered but then he shook his head as the sword in Hela's hand wasn't a Zanpakutou. 

"Kill all the Hollows appearing in this city" Hela commanded the soldiers and they spread out after giving her a nod. Since Hela's astral army was a part of her Death Powers, her army also had the ability of purifying a Hollow. 

Urahara was shocked beyond belief when one of the astral figures killed the Hollow down the street. 'She had her own army!' Urahara gasped inside his mind. 

He hasn't seen this in the visions. "Now, they will take care of the Hollows in this city while I take care of you" Hela said excitedly as her bloodlust started to increase. 

'Don't kill any of them. You can kill the Hollows and you can beat the shit of them but don't kill anyone' Hela clicked her tongue as she heard her Husband's voice inside her head through her connection. 

She was really excited as she was going to kill all of them but no she had to change her plans. "What's your name? You know my name but I don't know yours?" Hela asked in a displeased tone. 

Urahara wondered why Hela was suddenly displeased. "Can I refuse your offer?" Urahara asked in a hopeful tone. He simply wanted to get away from this woman. 

Hela was unimpressed by his refusal. "Since you don't want to tell me your name, you can die nameless" Hela said as the sword in her hand disintegrated. 

Urahara was immediately on alert… he knew that he wasn't going to get away so easily but it was worth trying. Urahara pulled out his Zanpakutou from his cane. 

"Awaken Benihime" Urahara muttered and with a red flash, Urahara released his Shikai. He wasn't sure if his Shikai would be enough or not but he didn't want to release his Bankai in a residential area.

Hela pulled out her Zanpakutou from her shadow. "Reign Supreme, Heiwa" Hela called out as her Zanpakutou transformed into a rapier. Urahara was shocked as Hela possessed a Zanpakutou. 

Even though he was surprised, he knew that couldn't lower his guard. "Scream Benihime" Urahara said as he swung down his Zanpakutou. With a howl, a red beam was launched towards Hela. 

"El Escudo" Hela said and a green barrier formed on her as she swatted away the beam. Urahara was shocked that Hela was even able to use Kido Spells. 

Hela lunged towards Urahara as the ground beneath cracked. Urahara sidestepped to dodge Hela's Zanpakutou. Hela's grin widened as she started to thrust her Zanpakutou towards Urahara.

Urahara quickly led Hela away from the knocked out body of Ishida Uryu. Hela noticed that but decided to play Urahara's game. The Quincy was already down so he wasn't going anywhere and her husband had already told her not to kill anyone. 

Urahara was still able to dodge or parry the attacks but it was hard for him. "Release your Bankai or you will die" Hela said with a grin and pointed her palm towards Urahara. Urahara's eyes grew wide in fear but it was too late to dodge.

"Hado #78, Zangerin" Hela muttered and a yellow flash erupted from her palm and it engulfed the form of Kisuke Urahara...

A/N: The collab I was doing with GOB is currently on hold due to his exams and he won't be free until the end of the December so I have planned to write a new fanfic on my own.

Well, it was an idea I have been playing with for quite sometime. It is going to be a HP World fanfic with a female MC as there are not many good fanfics with a female MC. I always wanted to write a female MC. So, the story will be Yuri.

Now, I know that is a turn off to some of you but its an idea I wanted to write about so there is that. The story will be take place in the timeline of Grindelwald war... So that would be new.

It will be a weekly release with a chapter size of 7k-10k words. I have already started the first chapter... I will add a ping when I start posting my new fanfic...
