Running for your Life

While Grand Fisher was about to unleash his strike Hisashi slowly drew his right blade arm back before it suddenly shot forward piercing right through Grand Fisher's skull from behind and destroying his mask in one fell swoop. He didn't even get a chance to regret his life unfortunately. A rather undeserved merciful end for such a monster.

[Based on Grand Fisher's ability to read the memories of someone who's body he is piercing and finding the face of their most loves one. Instead allows the user to read their memories and copy any memories allowing them to learn their techniques.]

[However due to this being limited to memories the user is only able to use techniues they can physically perform. For example user can learn how a Hollow spitting poison does so, but without a poison gland they wouldn't actually be able to perform the move.]

'I guess all that training paid off after all, that was almost too easy.' he thought to himself.

If there was enough time he would have wanted to devour him for spirit power, but that wasn't enough though. He had to complete his performance. Immediately he changed his [Illusionary Aura] from making him invisible to an exact copy of Grand Fisher himself.

He pounced out of the river looking like Grand Fisher revealing himself to the two of them. Ichigo became terrified while Masaki panicked knowing exactly what was coming for them. She did her best to cover Ichigo.Unfortunately since she lost her Quincy powers she was unable to protect them and "Grand Fisher" Hisashi opened his mouth wide as he dove towards her figure and swallowed her whole leaving only a terrified and wailing Ichigo on the riverbank.

Before anyone troublesome could show up he dove back into the river and switched back to being invisible. By now the remains of the real Grand Fisher had also already dissipated and he swam down along with the river flow as fast as her could for the next few minutes. Managing over 120 Mph with the help of the river's water flow.

Masaki was kept in his mouth without swallowing her. At first she was so shocked she didn't even struggle, but once she regained her wits she started struggling fiercely, trying to escape his mouth. Unfortunately she was only barely stronger than a regular human. Having lost all of her special Quincy powers leaving only her pure physical power which for Quincy really wasn't much more than an in shape human.

It didn't take long for her to wear herself out fighting back against the pressure in his mouth and her struggles began to die down.

After a few minutes about 10 miles downstream Hisashi burst from the river surface unfurling his wings from underneath his carapace which allowed him to travel much faster than he could swim. He burst out at 675 Mph rushing away from Karakura. He couldn't maintain this speed for long as it was akin to sprinting at top speed, however the further he could get away the better and he was worried Masaki would suffocate if she remained in his mouth for too long.

He managed to get another 40 or so miles away in 10 about minutes before he landed in some kind of forested area away from any human infrastructure and quickly spat Masaki out. She immediately started gulping for air and she was already significantly weakened because of the struggle and lack of oxygen.

'Well that wasn't quite the way I thought I'd be eating a girl the first time in my second life.' he chuckles internally, unconsciously trying to distract himself from the pain in the ass this was going to be.

When she finally regains her breath and a modicum of strength she quickly scrambles to her feet and backs away keeping a tree towards her back for safety unsure of what more she can do. She doesn't know where she is, she doesn't have any power and most of all why the hell is she still alive?

Also she knows that Hollow had swallowed her and spit her out, but for some reason she couldn't see him. He should be right there though as he obviously spat her out. Did he leave while she was recovering?

Everyone knows basic Hollow are primal beasts that just prey on anything with Spirit Power, the more the better. According to any logic she should be dead the moment he caught her and she entered his mouth. Worse yet, she wasn't sure what happened to her son.

"Well... hello there. Did you catch your breath?" he said awkwardly.

She was a dumbfounded. Though rare some older basic Hollow would talk, but they never seemed to use this as a way to really communicate they would use it to abuse, manipulate and taunt their prey further.

"First off. Your son is fine so calm down." he said trying to assure her of what was likely her greatest worry, even more so than her own safety probably was.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot to undo my camouflage. Let me change back, this must be quite uncomfortable" he said before she could even collect herself and answer.

He suddenly appeared out of thing air, except she didn't recognise him because he looked like his normal self. She was surprised seeing this four legged and two armed bug looking Hollow.

'Where's the hamster?' she wondered.

"Where... where is the other one?" she asked cautiously as she kept scanning the surroundings while faithfully keeping the tree covering her back from danger, fearing she would get attacked at any moment and that they were just playing with her.

"Oh, you mean this one?" he asked while he transformed back into the appearance of Grand Fisher.

Masaki blinked, this was too strange. 'It can transform and turn invisible? Is this really just a basic Hollow?' she asked herself.

'Shit, I seem like one of those mentally unstable villain types monologuing now don't I? Well let's try our best anyway.' he thinks to himself.

There was an awkward moment of silence as they were both stuck in thought and not sure how to move forward with this conversation. Masaki was utterly confused and Hisashi was trying to think of a good way to take care of this.

"Well... this is going to require quite a bit of explaining. I guess starting from the beginning chronologically is going to be best." he says.
