Kisuke, Viktor and Yoruichi were currently roof hopping to an area on the outskirts of town. The trio silently traveled through the night. Kisuke signaled them to stop on the top floor of an abandoned car park.
"This is the place and our assistants should be here shortly." As if his words triggered reality into action they saw two hollows making their way towards them.
The hollows were slightly bigger than the one Viktor had first encountered. One resembled a large humanoid bear the other was an amalgamation of fish, frog, and human. Its masked head was of a piranha, its torso was humanoid with long lanky arms which ended in sharp claws and from its waist down it resembled a frog, flippers included.
Viktor gave the pair a disgusted look. He had already figured out what Kisuke wanted so he charged forward with a super man punch towards the bear. The bear didn't get a chance to put on a proper defensive before he was struck on the top of his snout driving him into the ground.
Viktor then used his super speed to move out of the fish/frog things strike which allowed him to grapple the arm and using his forarm hyperextended the creature's elbow causing a loud crunch the hollow's arm, he moved his head back and hip tossed it at the quickly approaching bear hollow.
Kisuke and Yoruichi observed the fight and were analyzing his fighting style. Viktor never stood in the same place for long, he was constantly moving using fast debilitating strikes to knock one opponent down then moving on to the other. He would grapple them into each other's way so they couldn't surround him. They were impressed by his style but as they have lived for a long time and most that time was in the form of military service. They had come as close to perfection when it came to hand to hand combat as any beings alive. They saw a great foundation to build on if they decided to train him.
The fish/frog hollow finally had one of its legs grabbed and was used as a club on the bear. When the bear was thrown far enough away Viktor slammed the frog on the ground a few times and while the frog was dazed Viktor stomped one of his feet onto it's thigh causing breaks in the the femur and pelvis. He used both hands to grabbed it's already held leg and pulled. It was a brutal and ruthless fight which was all the more apparent when the the hollows 'flesh' gave out and the leg was ripped from the body.
Viktor jumped away from the frog hollow and used it's now bleeding appendage as a club on the now cowering bear hollow. The hollow attempted to retreat but Viktor threw the leg and hit the bear slowing it down. The bear fell and rolled to face the fast approaching Viktor. He was preparing a cero but never got the chance because Viktor pushed off with his feet and instantly appeared in front of it, It was struck by Viktor's left hook on the right on it's forehead.
The strike caused it's mask to crack. Viktor had maneuvered to the bears blindside and grabbed it by the back of the neck. He triggered his Devour sikill which caused the hollow to become two different colored mists on was black and white the other was not actually mist but blue motes of light. Viktor was surprised for a moment and decided he would look into it later. He inhaled the black and white mist. The motes of light dispersed.
He picked up the frogs dismembered leg and brought it to the now panicked hollow. It had been trying to regenerate enough to be able to run away. Viktor looked down at the hollow, he threw the leg at the hollow it flinched and lost sight of Viktor.
Viktor had supersped behind the hollow and put his hands on either side of the hollow's head and kneed the back of hollow's neck it wasn't dead yet, but it was on its last legs. Viktor turned to to look at Kisuke, "I will use my Devour ability one last time then I need to go somewhere isolated because I feel like this evolution is gonna be different than usual."
Kisuke and Yoruichi flashed stepped next to the him and Kisuke readied his equipment, then nodded at Viktor to proceed. Viktor Devoured the hollow and like before the hollow became a black and white mist and blue light motes. He inhaled the mist and the light motes faded away. Viktor was tingling all over. "I need you to take me to your training grounds now..." He had passed out and was caught by Yoruichi. She and Kisuke picked up his arms and put it around their shoulders and used their quickest flash steps back to the shop and down to the basement training grounds.
During their flash steps they would feel him convulse and his temperature would fluctuate from burning hot to ice cold. They had made it just in time into the basement and laid him on the ground before stepping back.
Viktor laid convulsing and contorting on the ground. Yoruichi was worried and Kisuke was busy analyzing their guests condition. Yoruichi couldn't take it any longer and started to walk to Viktor to at least hold him down but blast of reiatsu exploded from his body. Kisuke noticed Yoruichi had jumped back before she could be hurt by the blast and he quickly erected a barrier around Viktor.
Viktor's body was still on the ground contorting while his body was processing the evolution. His adaptable body was refining the best qualities of hollows and was in an endless cycle of destroying and rebuilding his body. White viscous liquid was being expelled from his orifices.
Kisuke and Yoruichi were regretting putting the young man through their experiment because from what they could see he was going through hollowfication. He was not a shinigami so he would not become a visored but a pure hollow and at the current rate his reiatsu was steadily growing he would be a Vasto Lorde.
Yoruichi had already resigned herself to putting the young man out of his misery. Kisuke wasn't called a genius for nothing, he was currently trying to calculate ways to posibly save him. He was nearing the end of his possibilities and then a thought struck him like a thunderbolt. The hogyoku could help, He pulled the hogyoku from his personal space and opened a hole in his barrier long enough for him to toss into Viktor's mouth while he had been mid yell. Viktor swallowed it and froze.
---MEANWHILE IN VIKTOR'S MIND PALACE---
He and Cortana in her hologram form were watching his body going through the evolution. This had been the first time Viktor had been able to disconnect his body from his mind. He watched on helplessly as Cortana ran scans and they came to a conclusion... they fucked up. They had miscalculated.
Viktor had the capability to convert himself to a visored which had been one of his goals in this universe but the mistake had been impatience. He should have become a shinigami first. All other cases of hollowfication had been shinigami first so their souls had been at the prerequisite strength and been able to convert to visored.
Neither he or Cortana knew what he would become and as much as he tried he couldnt take control of his body. He thought he had been completely protected by Gamer Mind against someone or something controlling him. He never took into account that a spiritual entity could bypass his mind and control his body. He was now a prisoner in his own mind. Viktor was raging on the command deck of the infinity while Cortana was computing possible solutions. He just wanted to obtain the powers of a visored, damn it!
They then saw Kisuke toss something at him, he recognized the object before it was swallowed up by his body. The moment that his body automatically activated his Devour ability everything froze. Cortana who was still running scans asked Viktor a question, "What the hell was th..." Viktor didnt get a chance to hear the end of the question because he now found himself floating in a multicolor void and was being drawn to the center of it.
He wasnt able to move his now weightless body but he could still move his eyes and saw a demonic looking hollow also being drawn to the same place as him. He didnt know how long it took him to travel to were he was being pulled but eventually he saw a sphere of hazy energy and in the center he saw the hogyoku. As he passed through the sphere of energy he noticed it acted as a membrane and as soon as he passed it he felt the familiar weight of his body and he found he could move again.
As soon as that realization hit him, he heard the sounds of something heavy landing some distance behind him. He turned around and saw the demonic hollow start to stand from its kneeling position. The hollow was 9 feet tall. It had long slender limbs, it's arms that were currently hanging at it's side, were so long that its wrists were at it's knees. The hollows was slim but it was not gangly, it's muscles were actually very defined.
It had a type of horned helmet that had 2 inches of space down the middle. It reminded him of Corvo Atano's mask except instead of string holding both sides together it was cartilage tissue. There was no face under the mask just darkness. The teeth were like the pirahna's but slightly elongated and definitely bigger with the bear's large canines. The eyes were the familiar black sclera with golden irises.
The horns started above and behind the ears and curved outward slightly before curving inwards but the points jutted out above it's eyebrow ridge. It reminded him of Albedo's horns in Overlord but the tips pointed forward.
The most dramatic difference was that it didn't have just one but 7 hollow holes down his body in a straight line and from what he could remembered from his previous life they seemed to coincide with his chakra points.
He knew this was a strong hollow but he was wondering where it came from because there was no way this thing was a hybrid of the two he had killed. The moment was broken when the hollow roared. The hollow decided Viktor was it's enemy and attacked.
Viktor didnt know if he would survive this encounter but he sure as hell wasn't going to go down without a fight like some punk. The two charged at each other and clashed. The battle raged for what seemed like an eternity. They didn't use any of their abilities it was just a knock out, drag out brawl. They injured each other numerous times but their high speed regeneration, durability, stamina and strength prolonged the battle.
The perception of time in that energy sphere was skewed, in that sphere the two figures had been battling for months. Viktor didnt know or care how long he fought but he knew he had to end it soon because both were learning each other's moves and he was starting to tire out and was starting to lose more often than not.
He had finally resigned himself to not being strong enough to win the fight but his last desperate gambit would ensure that even if he died the hollow wasn't going to win. He baited the hollow into one of its horned charges and he allowed the hollow's horns to impale his chest. He coughed up blood then gripped the horns and used the last of his strength to do a jumping twist. He heard the hollow's neck snap. He knew it wouldn't stay down for long but he planted his feet on it's hips and flexed his body until he had been able to rip its head off.
Viktor now lay on his back with the hollow's head still impaled on his chest and noticed that his wounds were not healing. He just laid there waiting for the end to come and smiled at, being able to beat the lanky bastard. Well, he was going to find out if he was going to meet his family in heaven or he would be sucked into this universes equivalent, Soul Society or maybe hell, he had killed a lot of people after all.
He decided to at least get a closer look at the hogyoku before he found out. He slowly sat up and started to stand but fell down. He crawled to the hogyoku but once he reached it, it pulsed. The hollow then became a mist that flowed towards the crystal. The crystal then gave one more pulse and shatterd and became a violet mist which intertwined with the black and white mist of the hollow. The mists slowly twisted around each other like a rope upwards they then flew down and towards Viktor. He didnt get a chance to think before he felt his mouth open and the mists were sucked inside. He lost consciousness soon after.
--- 2 WEEKS AFTER HOGYOKU INCIDENT---
Viktor felt like his body had been run over by a tank. Everything hurt. He opened his eyes and the light nearly blinded him. He quickly shut his eyes and groaned. "Oww... Cortana, what the hell happened to me? Why does my everything hurt?" he asked in between groans.
"Chief! You're awake! Thank The Creator! You stupid moron you scared me to death!" Cortana loudly exclaimed in his head.
"Not so loud, Cortana. Literally everything hurts. Give me a minute to meditate and I'll meet you in The Infinity."
He took a breathe and meditated, He found he could now separate his mind from his body and appeard on the bridge of The Infinity. He had barely taken stock of his location when a surprisingly more solid hologram Cortana barreled into his chest and hugged him and knocked both over.
"Well this is new, since when have you been able to become corporeal in the palace?" He asked the sniffling girl. He gave her a hug and rubbed circles on her back to comfort her. He kissed the top of her head and noticed her blue hair was soft and silky. "We're not dead sweetheart, there is no reason for you to cry. We made a mistake but now we will be more careful so we don't end up in a situation like that again." He cooed as he held her until she stopped crying and sat both of them up.
"So, what happened after I disappeared?" he asked as he gently wiped the tear form her cheeks.
"You big moron! You had me worried about you. You bet your well sculpted ass we won't be in a situation like that again." She scolded. She sighed and began to explain what had happened during his unconsciousness.
"After Kisuke threw the Hogyoku the hollow in control of your body used Devour on it. From what my scans revealed it was too much power for your body and soul at the time. After you disappeared, which you will tell me all about soon, Your physical body was encased in that hollows bone tissue. Sort of like a caterpillar in a cocoon. Your body was in some sort of stasis before it completely melted. I knew you hadn't died because the palace still existed.
You were without a body for 2 minutes. The cocoon kept violently blasting reiatsu for a period of 8 minutes. After the eight minutes, the reiatsu completely dropped off. Kisuke and Yoruichi thought you had died. What actually happened, was that your body was reformed. Once the body was complete the cocoon cracked and your new body fell out. The cocoon became mist and was sucked inside your body. Your mental self also appeared here but you were sleeping. You disappeared again but I was able to verify that you were just unconscious.
Kisuke used his computer to scan you. I also ran some scans and then hacked Kisuke's computer. He almost noticed me but I was able to copy the info and compare it to the results of my scans.
The great news is that your body, has been refined. Your strength, durability, stamina and regeneration have far surpassed what would be considered human. You can now most likely lift at least 100 tons, your durability speed and stamina have slightly surpassed Superman. Your brain is beyond most beings, your reaction time and processing speed are unheard of, and may cause you to develop psychic and telekinetic abilities in the future. Your senses have been enhanced again.
The good news is that with your body going through that pupal stage you have refined it which has improved its overall performance. Everything just functions better. The changes have caused another change though, your default appearance has changed. Before you looked like a very muscular 19 year old. Now your body has lost most of its bulkiness and you have slimmed down.
The reason is your muscle fibers have all been converted to a hybrid of fast twitch and slow twitch muscles. It's like that one Manga you read. It has all been converted to 'pink' muscle. You are stronger but more streamlined. Your tendons and ligaments are both stronger and more flexible, your bones are denser and more impact resistant. They are probably stronger than Wolverine's adamantium encased bones. So we can cross that off your objectives in the MCU.
Your soft tissues are also denser and more efficient by a factor of 100. I doubt there is any poison in existance that would affect you for more than a few minutes and by then your body could have already become immune and filtered out the rest. Your skin is puncture and cut resistant yet softer than any being we currently have knowledge of.
We will have to test that against a zanpakto at a later date. Your blood has mutated to carry 100 times more oxygen. Over all, everything is more efficient, and stronger, damage resistant. It also had the side effect of aging your body to its physical peak. You no longer look like someone in their late teens but someone in their mid twenties which in turn has made you more handsome. That perverted cat comes into your room to drool all over you while you had been recuperating.
The bad news is that your regeneration is so high that you may age very slowly, if at all. You may have just become immortal. Well you can still die, but it won't be due to old age. The other negative is that you have become a hybrid spiritual/physical being. Per Kisuke's research you have become a pseudo living visored.
That leads me to our other concerns, after poking around Kisuke's research on shinigami/hollow hybrids, I've discovered that the original visoreds were a combination of adjuchas class hollows and shinigami. Your transformation can be equated to a combination of a high captain class shinigami and an arrancar. You may even be considered an ascended being in this universe. You are at minimum, captain class. Which is causing problems because you currently cannot control your huge reiatsu and are leaking about 25% of it. That is why you are in the training grounds under 5 reiatsu concealing barriers. Kisuke is worried that your metamorphosis may have been felt in Soul Society"
Viktor sat in stunned silence as he took the the information in. He wanted to get stronger but this is just ridiculous. What is he? Some sort of OP mc in a shitty fanfic? What a headache, looks like its back to starting all over again with control training.
"Cortana, Thank you for being my friend and always watching my six. I'm sorry I worried you and caused you to cry. I promise I will do my utmost to never make you cry again. I have a task for you. I need you to go through all of my combat and training memories and refine my current training regime to take in my new capabilities into account. We will get rid of all the things that will no longer work and make the things that do, more effectivefor my new physique. I will also need to ask Kisuke for an asuchi so I can use that to help seal my power. The whole situation is just weird, How did those two puny hollows become Arrancar level?"
"I actually have a theory on that, we won't be able to test it until you finish the shinigami training Kisuke and Yoruichi are going to put you through. My theory is that both the hollows weren't just absorbed by you, but by your shadow wraith abilities."
Viktor felt like he had just been kicked in the balls. It made perfect sense. His shadow wraith abilities derived from Noob Saibot and if the MK universe had hollows Noob would be considered as one of the top two if not the top of the food chain. His Devour ability combined similar abilities and those two are both spiritual abilities.
That would explain the shadows underneath the mask of the hollow instead of flesh. That was a literal shadow wraith hollow. Fuck! He was pretty sure his zanpakuto spirit will be Noob Saibot.
"Cortana, Thanks once again. Your theory pans out, my inner hollow was not a hybrid of the two I Devoured but my shadow wraith ability after consuming the two hollow. This is a lot to take in so, I'm gonna take a nap. Please prioritize my sense training for your revision of the training regime that needs to be taken care of first then we can move on to reiatsu training with Kisuke and Yoruichi. By the way, was kisuke able to get any samples of me? I thought The Creator said it was safeguarded unless I gave my permission."
Cortana giggled, "Your security measures were indeed implemented by The Creator. He was unable to take samples. He put up quite the tantrum." she continued to laugh at Kisuke's misery.
Viktor then gave her one last hug before going to the captain's quarters to take a nap.
---
Viktor had reviewed his revised training regimen and decided to implement it once he returned to his body. He awoke to find Yoruichi being a creeper. "I take it you have taken advantage of my current invalid state, haven't you, perverted kitty."
Yoruichi was shaken out of her daydreaming by Viktor's deadpan statement. She became flustered and started to deny it but she caught a glimpse at his little smirk. She became enraged and vowed to herself that she would make him pay during training. She hurrumphed and walked out of the make shift room to get Kisuke after scratching his stupid face for causing her to be labeled a pervert just for being associated with him.
A scratched up Kisuke walked in to grumpily check in on Viktor. "You woke up from a life and death situation and the first thing you did was pick on Yoruichi? Thanks for that, by the way. So how are you feeling? Any pain or other symptoms to be concerned about?"
Viktor gave Kisuke a breakdown of his current condition and gave an 'explanation' of what happened. The reason Viktor had been fairly open with Kisuke about his abilities and situation was two-fold. First, it was so outlandish that he would think that Viktor was messing with him. Second, Kisuke was a brilliant scientist so he was going to come up with explanations for his situation and abilities on his own, at least this way he can manipulate the story somewhat.
He was also planning on using a memory scrambler on the Urahara shop residents once Cortana analyzed it and customized it to effect everyone but Viktor.
"That is quite the story, Avery-san. after your ordeal, Yoruichi and I have decided to train you and your knew visored abilities, so you can at the very least control your reiatsu and not hurt the populace by just being near them."
Viktor made a pensive face and 'begrudgingly' accepted. Inwardly, he and Cortana laughed at how simple it was. Viktor's plan has been to strengthen his soul, which he had and to kill and Devour the hidden quincy king. That mustache having bastard would make him stronger and he would help this universe in the long run.
--- 2 WEEKS LATER---
Two figures could be seen having a violent spar. The combatants were Yoruichi and Viktor. During his first two weeks of training, He and Cortana had finally confirmed that he showed up 3 years before the start of cannon. Viktor thought it was perfect because it allowed him time to train and prepare a few surprises for the residents of this universe.
The spar was stopped after Yoruichi slammed Viktor into a boulder. 'Guess she's still upset that she is the victim of my trolling.' he thought chagrined at her violent lessons.
