Chapter 120: Take Conrol, Thing

Chapter 120: Take Conrol, Thing

-SHING

The forest was dark and cold as silence prevailed.

But for some reason, at this moment, it seemed colder. It seemed quieter than usual.

The battles ensuing all over the forest had all come to a halt. The usual BANGS and BOOMS couldn't be heard as a chill breeze travelled through the copious plant life.

In a far clearing in the forest, a figure with an eerie mask could be seen holding a sword.

"Well done, Isaac. You caught it."

Aizen clapped, staring at Isaac holding his sword, travelling at great speeds and grabbing it midair.

"But you still lose."

Isaac dropped the sword as his mask faded from his mask, The Freak deactivating as Isaac's expression could be revealed, frozen in a state of shock as if he were petrified.

"Zach..."

He mumbled, staring at Zach before him, the Ghoul's eyes wide open and staring back at Isaac, impaled through the heart by Eli's hand, crackling with yellow lightning.

Eli stared, his expressions stern. However, upon blinking once and then again, his look quickly changed from one of accomplishment to complete horror.

"What...have I done?"

Eli pulled out his forearm, causing Logan to drop to the ground with a THUD.

This seemed to cause Isaac to snap out of his trance as he stepped forward, soon dashing as he dropped to his knees beside Logan.

Eli stood over them, the events running through his mind as he tried to figure out what went wrong.

"That was supposed...to be him. I saw him...standing there."

Eli mumbled, darting his eyes between Aizen and Logan.

"Zach!"

Logan's eyes were barely open, the colour in them fading as Isaac could see him barely conscious.

This fact was further proven as Logan slightly turned his head, looking at Isaac.

"W-Well...I guess I kinda...deserve this, huh?"

Logan muttered, his lips curling upwards as he joked.

Isaac's lips pursed as he glanced at the hole in Logan's chest.

"Stop talking, you idiot. Why isn't he healing?!"

Isaac yelled desperately, turning his head to Eli, making the boy flinch as he did.

"I used H-Hamon...it's made to vanquish Vampires...the Undead," Eli answered, his voice shaking.

Isaac bit his lip, sweat dripping down the side of his face as he furrowed his eyebrows.

A hum could be heard as red Vitaflow pills were summoned into Isaac's hands. The same Vitaflow pills he'd snatched from Silver long ago.

'Come on, come on, come on!'

Taking them all, he placed them in Logan's mouth, forcing close his mouth as he pulled his head back, causing Logan to gulp loudly.

Despite this, after a few seconds, nothing changed as Logan remained as he was.

If raw RC Cells weren't enough, his flesh wouldn't have a better effect.

Isaac saw this as his breathing quickened, almost hyperventilating as he darted his eyes around, searching for a solution.

With a hum once again, he summoned anything that could heal from his Dimensional Space.

Potion, Senzu Beans, he summoned them all.

Without thinking, he brought them closer to Logan's lips.

-GRAB

"Stop, he's a Ghoul, that'll only hurt him!" Eli grabbed Isaac's arm before it was too late.

This seemed to bring Isaac back to his senses as he dropped the potions, soon tightening his fist as he struck the ground.

"Damnit!"

Failure after failure.

First Oliver, then Merlin and now...

'No matter what I do...no matter how strong I become...why do I keep losing so much?'

Isaac scrunched his eyes closed as he lowered his head.

"It's f-funny...death makes your mind so clear."

Logan caught Isaac's attention as the boy looked up, and coughed blood as he spoke as Isaac scurried to him, holding up his head so he didn't choke.

"Save it, man," Isaac spoke with a pained expression on his face, knowing what was coming.

Isaac yelled, stuffing his mouth with dozens of Vitaflow pills but not swallowing, his eyes directed toward Eli as the boy froze for a second, soon giving a stern nod as he tried to compose himself.

'Get a hang of yourself. Fix your mistake.'

He knew Isaac was aware of Logan not being able to ingest potions, after all, he'd just told him.

But he trusted him enough to think he'd thought past this.

-SNAP

"Now!"

The tails suddenly unravelled like ropes being cut as Isaac dropped face-first to the ground, instantly directing all the Nen he could muster to the glutton in his stomach.

With a gulp, he swallowed the countless Vitaflow in his mouth.

Though he was still Starving, he was himself.

With this, a golden figure appeared behind Eli, the both of them raising their arms by their side as they yelled.

"THE WORLD!"

-TIK TIK TIK

-ZMMMMMM

With space distorting for a second, Eli stood in a world identical to usual, the only difference being everything had lost its colour, completely frozen and unmoving.

Eli first looked go Isaac, seeing him still trying to gain his bearings.

Running over to Logan, who had just hit the ground, Eli couldn't help but pause and stare.

And as he did, he widened his eyes as he forgot to breathe.

'How...he's a human.'

The black eye and red pupils and Kagune had completely disappeared, leaving only the white hair.

If that wasn't enough, the sudden increase in blood loss suggested Logan had lost his high durability and the small healing kept him alive for so long.

Putting aside all his questions, because if Logan was now a human, he had seconds before dying.

Therefore, Eli grabbed all the solid medicine and placed it in Logan's mouth.

'The liquid won't move while time is stopped. I need to be quick.'

With this, the Golden figure behind Eli disappeared, and with it, time resumed.

-GULP

Logan swallowed whatever was in his mouth as Eli instantly poured the liquids into his mouth.

One bottle, two bottles then three. It wasn't long until everything had been emptied.

During all this, Isaac was able to crawl beside Logan as he and Eli watched in anticipation.

"Why...isn't it working?"

Isaac muttered.

"It is. He was at the brink of death, the medicine might be having some difficulty."

Difficulty? Even after all this?

"Come on, Zach..."

'I can't lose everything.'

Isaac gripped Logan's clothes tightly.

"I can help."

Isaac and Eli snapped their heads to the side to where the voice came from.

Stepping out of the forest, a female figure the both of them recognised stood in their line of sight.

Eli was the first to speak.

"Vanheart."
