Chapter 659 - The Souls of Kaneki (1)

Boom!

After Kaneki's voice conveyed a promise to his friends and Heroes, his body got up and grabbed a Katana made from the seven balls of fire that came out of his chest.

And delivered a quick and powerful slash creating a powerful explosion that devastated his and Kotori's surroundings.

Kotori: How cute.

But even with his new weapon, Kotori withstood it with all the power she had copied from Kaneki.

Kotori: I don't know what you did.

Clench! Crack!

Kotori: But it's useless!

Punch! Boom!

In the Stadium*

Natsuki & Shino: No way!

Itsuki: Hey isn't Kaneki supposed to have a power boost after all that?!

Murmur~

Everyone watching were all surprised, they all expected Kaneki to become stronger after all the flashbacks he just had.

All of them expected Kaneki to become more powerful, but it seems like it wasn't the case.

Kotori stored huge amounts of her copied power in her fist and landed an explosive punch that sent him crashing.

Natsuki: Wait something is weird with Kaneki.

Querxes: You noticed something Mizutani-san?

Natsuki: Yes. Kaneki's soul...

Back in Fake Shimotsuki*

Kotori: Hmm? What the your soul-

Natsuki & Kotori: is not in his/your body?!

Kotori's thoughts*

(I knew something was off, Kaneki-chan's eyes were completely black after he got up and his attack just now was a lot weaker, but if that's the case how is his body moving?)

Natsuki and somehow Kotori both saw that Kaneki's body was missing his soul

After seeing her brother's body missing a soul, she turned her eyes towards.

Swoosh!

Kotori: !!!

The 6 Balls of fire.

Kotori: You're kidding right?!

After the creation of the Katana, the remaining 6 balls of fire suddenly had a golden glow to them and began moving on their own.

One of them unleashed countless tendrils from it's flames and rushed through the ground like worms heading towards Kotori.

Pierce!

Sizzle~!

Kotori: Argh!

The tendrils immediately shot out of the ground and flaming spikes that pierced through Kotori's body while burning her.

Swoosh!

After being temporarily restrained by the flaming spikes, the Ball of fire that the spikes came from suddenly flew towards Kotori with incredible speed.

Kotori: !!!

Tear!

Reacting quickly Kotori forcefully tore her body off the spikes before quickly regenerating the damage parts of her body and preparing to unleash a counter attack on the incoming Ball of Fire.

Swoosh!

Kotori: !!!

But suddenly Kaneki appeared beside the ball of fire with his pure black eyes staring directly at Kotori.

Flash!

As she was caught off guard, the ball of fire's light grew brighter.

Kaneki: Osananajimi Slash!

Burst!

Slash!

Kotori: ?!?!?!

In an instant Kaneki had the Spider Sword in his left hand.

After acquiring Shino's relic, flames covered the two swords as Kaneki swung them cutting both of Kotori's arms cleanly off.

Kotori: Heh!

But even so Kotori smiled, clearly enjoying that her brother was able to damage her even in her current state.

Kotori: Let's see what else you can do!

Steam~ Crack!

Immediately after getting her arms cut off, Kotori regenerated her arms and turned both regenerated and separated arms into Guns.

Kotori: Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bang! Blast!

All 4 of the guns she made all fired all kinds of bullets, bullets that would give status effects like poison and paralysis.

Bullets that explode and dragon shaped bullets made of Dragon flames.

Swoosh!

Kaneki began running and maneuvering through his surroundings trying to shake off the bullet being fired at him.

Kotori: Hehe~! You won't escape Kaneki-chan!

Swoosh!

Kotori: These bullets are controlled by me as well!

Kotori having full control over the bullets meant Kaneki couldn't escape them, but he didn't need to.

Swoosh~!

Flash~!

As Kaneki turned to face the bullets, another one of the Balls of Fire came appeared in front of him and let out a bright flash of golden light.

Shine~!

Kotori: Heh!

As the golden light disappeared, Kaneki had the Dragon Scythe in his left hand and the Spider Sword on the right while his entire body was covered by the armor the Dragon Scythe would create.

Clang!

Twirl~!

After receiving both Dragon Scythe and Armor, Kaneki forcibly combined the Dragon Scythe and Spider Sword by their handles and twirled them rapidly almost immediately.

Swoosh~!

Kotori: Oh this is interesting.

As he twirled both relics, the bullets were caught by the air currents that were being made.

Kaneki: Osananajimi Flare.

Swoosh!

He then threw the two combined relics, spinning as they flew towards Kotori alongside the bullets that's were caught by them.

Kotori: Rage Cannon!

In an attempt to counter, Kotori shot an amplified Rage Cannon blast towards the incoming attack.

Flash!

Swoosh!

But from behind another flash of golden light appeared and from it.

Spread~!

Kaneki who was in DreadMoth Humanoid Form flying directly behind the weapon.

And once the relics spun to the perfect position.

Kaneki: Imouto Kick!

Kick!

Burst!

He gave it a very strong kick accelerating it even further.

Swoosh!

Pierce!

Kotori: Bleurgh!

With the boost from Kaneki's kick the weapons flew straight through the amplified Rage Cannon blast and piercing through Kotori's chest.

Kotori's thoughts*

(Even without his soul, without his abilities, Kaneki-chan is holding his own against me WHAT FUN!)

Clang!

Kotori: Okay then I should go crazy then!

Buzz~!

ROOOOOAAAAR!

Thunder~!

Immediately after removing the weapons from her chest, Kotori unleashed many attacks at once.

All directed towards Kaneki.

Boom!

He was directly hit by all of the attacks, creating an explosion.

Swoosh!

Kotori: Don't you think I'm done yet!

Kotori 2: There's more where that came from!

Kotori created many blood clones surrounding Kaneki from all angles.

Crack!

Each one of them using amplified copies of Kaneki's powers and forms.

Kotori: Here I come!

Blast!

Bang!

Boom!

They all began to relentlessly unleash their immense powers at Kaneki not letting him have any room to react.

Flash!

Kotori: !!!

But once again another flash of golden light flashed through the smoke.

Buzz~!

Swoosh~!

Huge Beetle wings emerged from the smoke and blew it all away revealing Kaneki wielding the Kabuto shield.

Swoosh!

Kotori: Shin'yū Crush!

Bash!

Kaneki charged towards the main Kotori with the rwo huge mandibles growing from the Kabuto shield.

Kotori: !!!

Crush!

The Mandibles closed and began to crush Kotori with incredible force.

Wriggle~!

Pierce!

In an attempt to escape Kotori created a tentacle driving it through Kaneki and grew many spikes that bursted out of his body.

Click!

Kotori: Huh?

Kaneki: Bang!

Kaneki the pulled out a gun and shot Kotori's face at point blank.

Tear!

This decapitated Kotori's head from her body as the shot was very powerful, that's because this gun was.

Kotori: The Omega Blaster?!

The Omega Blaster, Yuzuki's gift to Kaneki.

Grip!

Kick!

After he decapitated his sister, Kaneki grabbed her body and kicked it towards her head.

Kotori: Woah!

Hop!

Crack!

Seeing her body incoming very quickly, Kotori used her hair to jump in order to dodge her body before reattaching to it instantly.

Flash!

Swoosh!

At the same time another flash of golden light had appeared and Kaneki appeared right beside Kotori before she could get back up.

Click!

Kotori: !!!

Kaneki had his Web gun Jera on his right hand and the Omega Blaster on his left.

Kaneki: Tomodachi Blast!

He began rapidly shooting both guns at Kotori.

Kotori: Argh!

Each bullet hitting Kotori pushed her back and each shot delivering a heavy blow.

Kotori: Tch!

Crack!

Kotori turned her arm into a gun in order to retaliate. But.

Bang!

Shatter!

A shot from the Omega Blaster shattered both her arms preventing for her guns to form.

(I have to gain some distance.)

Swoosh!

After determining that being at close range with Kaneki was very dangerous, Kotori started to move trying to gain some distance from him.

Swoosh!

But Kaneki followed pursued her closely while continuing to shoot her.

Kotori: Damn my brother is very persistent.

As she continued trying to get farther away from Kaneki.

Swoosh!

Kotori: Woah!

The last Ball of fire came flying towards her.

Swoosh!

She narrowly dodged it, but as she did she immediately realized that was a big mistake.

Flash!

Upon contact with Kaneki, the last Ball of fire let out one last flash of golden light.

Shine~

The light covered Kaneki's body before disappearing and revealing him wielding, the Liberator and the Katana made by the Balls of Fire.

Glow~!

The Katana in particular was glowing with many colors at the same time.

Grip!

Tightening his grip on both swords, Kaneki crossed the two swords.

Kaneki: Yuusha... Strike!

Swoosh!

Slash!

Kotori: !!!

In an instant Kaneki had sliced Kotori's body into hundreds of pieces.

Back in the Stadium*

???: What the?!

???: He's actually beating her?!

???: Kotori Ai is getting beaten? He's not even using any abilities.

Everyone in the Stadium were all surprised by Kaneki suddenly being able to beat Kotori up despite barely using any abilities and just using relics.

Yuuka: Hey you said Kaneki's soul was missing right? Could those balls of fire bei pieces of his soul?

Natsuki: Probably and that Katana is probably a piece of his soul too.

Miku: Yikes and he's barely even using any ability.

Yuuka: I think his own abilities are still disabled, and the only real ability he used was the Kabuto shield.

Sachi: But what's with the name of the attacks he's doing?

Chikao: Who knows, maybe each one is based off his "heroes"? Like us?

Querxes: that might be the case.

Itsuki: Hehe~ maybe this is the power of friendship.

Keiko: Haha~ yeah it might be.

Querxes: Cringe.

As the Higanbana girls, Querxes and Itsuki and Keiko were talking.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Kaneki's screams suddenly filled the air.

Chikao: Hey what's happening?!

Glow~!

Yuuka: The sword is glowing?

Burst!

The Jumbotron displayed Kaneki seemingly in pain while the Katana he was wielding was glowed with many colors brightly.

Burst!

Querxes: What?!

Itsuki & Keiko: What happened?!

Higanbana girls: Kaneki?!

What happened next was the 6 Balls of fire came out of the sword and it was not just them.

Back in Fake Shimotsuki*

Kotori: This looks like a lot more trouble.

Sizzle~

Countless dark balls of fire also came out of the Katana.
