Built Differently

"What do you mean I might not get a Bankai? why?" He is starting to believe that Zangestsuha is trying his best to get the most reaction out of him.

"Don't panic and listen to me." Zangetsuha didn't want him to misunderstand what he meant so he quickly tried to clarify everything.

"Let's begin with my first statement, I told you that your zanpakuto will always be in its released form and there's a reason for that which is, It can be considered not only your Shikai but also, your spirit weapon as a Quincy and your Fullbring vessel as well. You will understand the significance of such a thing when you get out of here and start better understanding your abilities. And the reason you MIGHT not have a Bankai is that you might develop a Vollständig first."

Zangestsuha didn't waste any time as he explained in a single breath, although it was annoying to have to explain everything to him like that instead of him discovering everything on his own like most others. He didn't want Shin to get hurt or something because he didn't know enough about his own ability. There's also the fact that even if he didn't tell Shin, he would have discovered soon after anyway so better make sure he had all cards in hand for a better result.

"And, what's a Voll- Vollstandig?" Shin didn't know what it was but he felt a little sense of familiarity after hearing the name.

"Vollstanding... is the equivalent of Bankai for Shinigami and Resurrection for Hollows. The power increase it offers is no less while it also greatly increases your existing ability, it's in no way inferior to a Bankai. You can think of it as the perfected version of the Letzt Stil technique Ishida used against Mayuri, of course, it naturally has no particularly great side effects as well. " The spirit words surprised Shin, but thinking about it, it kinda makes sense.

If Shinigami had it, Hollow had it, why Quicys wouldn't have it as well?

"I suppose I can't Bankai because it's the Quincy equivalent of Bankai, right?" It's true that it would be a little too op to have access to the two at the same time, If Ichigo could do something like that in the manga how would he be defeated by anyone? He would just crush everyone on his path with pure power.

"You suppose well, It's impossible for someone who possesses a Bankai to also get a Vollstandig and vis versa. So you might have to make a choice when the time comes, keep that in mind."

Finally, he was done with the long-ass explanations, he could now rest.

"Very well then, thank you for being cooperative." He bowed a little, he definitely liked Zangetsuha and how he choose to give him the information he needed without hiding anything.

Shin was the kind to kind that wanted to be in control of everything, even more, when it was about knowledge and information. As they say, knowledge is power and right, this sentence had more meaning to him than ever.

Since they were pretty much done with the conversation, Shin decided that instead of letting Zangetsuha send him off, he'd rather do it himself thus he called upon his ability and manipulated his own shadow, and slowly, he started sinking into it.

Foots, Legs, Waist, torso, neck, he was almost gone when he heard the spirit's voice for the last time.

"Shin, always remember this, although I have been saying, Quincy's side, Shinigami's side, Fullbringer powers, and the like. It was just a way for you to get a better understanding of my words. Those powers ultimately are no more what they were supposed to be, they are and are not at the same time, through their coalescence they became something else, something more. They are your powers and yours alone." The Spirit barely had the time to let out those last words before the young- no the man was totally gone.

Seeing that Shin already left, Zangetsuha sat back on his chair as he once again served himself a cup of tea. Slowly taking a relaxed sip, he let out a sigh as he felt the entire inner world changing.

It grew significantly bigger as new scenarios never seen before came into existence, new flowers, new trees, now cities radically different from the one he was currently in, he could everything change around him. Planets, Suns, Solar Systems... he could feel everything happening in real-time.

The cause? Shin. Perhaps he did it voluntarily or perhaps he it unconsciously, what is sure was there was a change and Zangetsuha felt like there would be more, not only here but also in the outer world.

"He is totally going to cause a commotion." The spirit let out those words with a smirk, he didn't doubt it, and he is going to enjoy every second of it.

.

In the outer world, as Zangetsuha called it, nothing of major importance happened since Shin's soul disappeared.

Isshin decided to stand guard and look after his son's physical body while Tensai went about his business, Urahara was already sleeping on the side. At least it looked like such was the case.

Yoruichi was also nowhere to be seen, she left thirteen minutes after Shin left, nowhere know where she went but seemed like something weighed on her mind.

It's been around an hour since the boy left and there was still no sign of him, although he himself believed that the boy was in no danger, Isshin started to get a little worried.

How to fault him? It was just a poor dad worrying for his beloved son, after all, the worse is he couldn't do anything about it.

But it seemed that the "Soul King" heard the Shinigami's prayer as just now there was a movement.

A shadow appeared and grew in size, it didn't appear where Shin disappeared but instead, it surrounded and completely swallowed Shin's physical body.

Feeling the change, Isshin's guard went up as Urahara's eyes quickly shot open, and using his movement technique he appeared beside Isshin as they quietly observed the situation.

Soon the Shadow recessed as Shin's figure come into sight, he was in the air, floating not standing, his eyes were closed and he didn't seem to be conscious.

"Shin?" Isshin called out but he got no response, and as he started walking toward Shin, he was surprised to see Urahara put a hand before him, stopping his walk.

"Wha-" He couldn't finish his sentence as an immense spiritual power burst out of Shin's body, the entire basement started shaking as if there was an earthquake and the ground around Shin started cracking under the pressure.

"What is happening?" Yoruichi and Tessai didn't seem to be far away as they directly appeared just after, not only them as they came along with two kids, Jinta and Ururu.

"It seems like it worked, but he is doing this unconsciously, he should soon come back to his sense." Urahara explained with a serious expression.

"How is this working? His spiritual power is lower than before." Yoruichi who was currently in possession of all her faculties calmly stated. She knew it would be useless to freak out.

"That, I also wonder, let's ask him when he-" this time it was Urahara's turn to be cut off while he was speaking as Shin's spiritual just suddenly considerably increased, becoming way more potent than it was before. As a result, the pseudo-earthquake became even stronger and the crack on the ground became even larger as if the earth himself wanted to flee away.

"This... I think we should just watch how the situation progresses." Isshin gave his opinion as he concentrated on the scene before him.

None spoke after that as they looked at this scene in marvel.

Not long after, with another abrupt burst, Shin's spiritual power once again increased tremendously, letting everyone at a loss for words for a moment.

"If... If he keeps going like that, the barriers installed around the place to keep spiritual powers concealed and hidden will crumble and break apart." Tessai announced as he quickly started to reinforce the barrier with his own spiritual power.

Just as he did, another burst of power happened, letting everyone in shock, this level of spiritual power was just too absurd in their opinion.

"Let me help you." Isshin said to Tessai as he also started pouring his spiritual power into the barrier.

"Me too" Urahara also joined them.

Gradually everyone present did so, pouring as much spiritual power into the barrier as they could.

Gradually Ten minutes passed and sighs of relief could be heard from here and there as nothing else happened.

Five more minutes passed, and finally, Shin slowly opened his eyes, but once again everyone became greatly surprised, but this time the reason was for a completely different reason.

As shin posed his foot on the ground and walked toward them with a smile. Isshin couldn't help but ask out loud what everyone was thinking quietly.

"Shin, What happened? Your spiritual energy, it... it has... completely disappeared!"
