"Resurrecion."
A well of energy surrounds the hollow as they undergo their second Resurrecion. Similar to the situation of Ichigo Kurosaki versus Ulquiora, the ladies are brought an intense amount of pressure as it is hard for even the hollow himself to suppress his accumulated reiatsu of his new form that he had never entered before.
A tornado forms around the hollow that throws everyone off their feet and Axel has to step in with mana threads to drag them all down. In the meantime, Gorgon appears as she prepares her own grand magic spell to blow the hollow away.
Her magic formulas float in the air, spinning in place to form a giant circle made of magic circles. Yet from the brief time since Alaba's appearance, they had devised some sort of new system of magic perhaps but the floating magic circles begin to change.
They do not become layered, or expanding in size but rather change into the material state as the magic circles become crystalline structures that retain their original properties as well as new ones since the very energy in the air flows into them, reducing Gorgon's own energy requirements whilst amplifying the original spells power.
[Prismatic Magic: End of all times] Gorgon thinks the name of the spell within her mind as her own aura is heightened by the spell before condensing into a bright red orb in the center of the crystalline barrier of sigils.
She soon releases the spell which shoots out akin to a beam of destruction that strikes the tornado of energy and immediately splits it apart, soon enough completely shattering it as the beam expands over time to wipe it all out. Said beam flows into a portal that then opens in another space which directs the beam at the last known position of Hollow Xavier was. This process repeats a few times.
"Enough" BANG
The hollow suddenly yells from a spot unseen as he punches the 5th redirection of the beam, blasting it apart as the hollow is revealed in all his charcoal glory. Yet this state does not last long as his immaculate skin is once again restored rapidly but reveals his true second Resurrecion state.
His clothes have well and properly disappeared this time around. At most he retains a few scraps around his wrists which extend into a pair of white gloves and ankles but it might have very well been shredded by Gorgon's magic. Contrary to expectations, his skin has turned a pale yellow instead of somehow continuing to grow whiter and ascend into an inverse coloration of sorts.
A pale white face marked by 3 'droplets' of yellow streaking down his cheeks with a deep black eyeliner that accentuates his sharp eyes. The previous bunny-like ears had grown flatter and wider but only around the middle and tips, the bottom of these ears retains its slim state creating an odd look of fat disks attached to a man's head closer to antennas.
He retains the previous hole in his chest but it has moved slightly more centered to his chest while the previous pink orb, the hogyoku, is now a shining red as it floats in the center of it.
Strangely enough, the now two rows of rotating blood red rings still rotate around the hollows body. Everyone had been under the impression that it was part of the hollows mystical skillset but that might have to be reevaluated. As for the hollow himself, he is baffled that this targeting ring circulating around him was not blasted away when he transformed. His eyes scan it in this moment of reprieve but he is unable to get a concise scan other than it is forged out of blood like energy.
As calm momentarily befalls the battlefield, one thing that does worry Axel who is watching from a distance and nearly good to go in returning to the fight is that the hollow is missing a weapon now.
The reason for this concern is because Resurrecion allows an arrancars soul weapon, similar to a Zanpakuto to reach a new form not limited to weaponry, the most obvious being ulquiorra's wings. In the first state of this evil Xavier's state, he had a rapier, it makes sense for it to still be here but the hollow makes no motion to retrieve it which only makes Axel suspicious.
He shares this suspicion with all people here via a mental link via his blood or divine line (aka his wives and companions).
[Six Paths Style: Extreme Uzumaki Burial]
Taking note of this information, the first person takes the chance to attack while the enemy is distracted. Axel is surprised by his first born, Serena. In a sage mode of her own creation, she bears a single black gauntlet on her left hand.
She bursts out of the ground thanks to her head hunter jutsu as she unleashes an uppercut onto the hollows face which lifts him off the ground. She then grabs his legs and she reenters the ground, maintaining her grip underground to siphon the hollow's power. It certainly doesnt help that the stones around them become far more compressed as well as forming spikes that stab into the hollows body.
Unfortunately for Serena, she was not on the upkeep as her devouring powers format which was a minor variation of Axel's own, was already amongst that which the hollow had gotten used to and could counter the influence of his hogyoku and magic eyes. As for the stones.
BOOM the ground simply crumbles apart as the hollow steps forward, his legs are spread, causing Serena to loosen her grip on one leg and said leg is raised backwards as if to kick her in the face.
BOOM
As it comes down to her face, another new entree makes their appearance with a bang, the ground crumbles further but the shockwaves blows the dust away to show Meredith, the second born from Axel and Aisha makes her appearance as she wears a form fitting body suit and crazed battle hungry grin on her face. Her suit has holes aligned her back that leaves space open for her body to morph as it is in the current state, allowing her own Asura state to be unleashed.
The multiple fists strike against the sweeping leg, holding it in place until the hollow simply repulses them both with a burst of reiatsu. Meredith easily lands and even helps reduce Serena's force so that they both land healthy.
"Worry not everyone, the foe possesses much strength but with my (daughter/mother) by my side, we can turn the tables. A pair of fox girls finally take the stage to bestow blessings upon them all.
"Kokonoe"
Even after so many years, Haruhime retains her original skills which have only been heightened by her motherly divinity. Though in comparison, Aika is the opposite, while as a child, she had been a virtual copy of her mother, she now sports a full gothic priestess style which includes black eyeliner and lip gloss
Both glow in flashes of light as multiple fox tails appear behind them both which move to gather sacred energy around them until it is released as a wave.
For the allies, they gain pseudo tails that elevate their strength while for the hollow, he gains flowing tail linked chains that hold him down. The pseudo tails also grant some healing for any injured like Serena and Meredith who were struck by the blast just now.
The magic chains are then supported by the physical ones as the gundam which still hovers above everyone releases a load of actual scrap that then encircles a teenage boy who bears a resemblance to Raikou. Some lightning can be seen flowing between the metallic scrap as they twist and reform into magically enhanced metal chains that also wrap around the hollow but he is to be disappointed as these chains snap apart instantly just from the residual spirit energy the hollow is releasing.
BEEP BEEP
The hollow pauses in his steps forward as the magic chains hook and unhook with every step he takes to more so slow him down rather than outright stop him like physical chains would. But the confusion for the hollow doesnt end there as he looks up only for something fairly big to land right on top of him, creating a new hole.
The thing that landed on him is quite big on all accounts but the most distinct part is the nozzle resting atop the figure. It is a cannon and thus the rest of it is naturally a tank. All naturally formed by Ignant in his transformed state.
"Get off me"CLANG The hollow commands as he raises his fist to strike the thing on him but said thing shape shifts into a person with a blade arm with rotating blades that spins to cut off the hollows hand but a crisp metallic sound is heard as the boy is sent skidding backwards.
The metal arm reforms into a normal arm as he commands, "dang his body is tough, i thought i've had my fair share of opponents but i guess i haven't seen nothing yet" Ignant states as he shakes his blade arm, waving off the recoil he felt before retaking a combat stance.
"So many damned vermin are crawling around. I don't understand how you can tolerate any of it" The hollow comments, his words obviously directed at Axel who stands up, ready to fight now as he resummons the Rhongomyniad in Cestus form.
Axel rushes forward only to be intercepted midway by the hollow who had moved faster than him. Being kicked in the chest, Axel is sent flying away but the ladies don't stand by and let this happen as Tulips had been the first to react to the enemy and had taken the greatest brunt of the attack thanks to her gigantified claws and Raikou followed up after her, inflicting a variety of cuts upon the hollows body but nothing too deep as his leg had finally connected with Axel, blowing him away.
Axel is blasted into the barrier walls only for a portal to open, bringing him into nightingales clinic where he receives a blast of healing pheromones before continuing his velocity to end up just next to the hollow which he processes faster than the hollow and unleashes his own counterattack.
His cestus slams directly into his spine, now he is the one flying away as multiple bursts of energy following a similar method as the previous ghosts limbs exploded all over the hollows body but now supported by the Rhongo gauntlets.
"It's because I have them by my side that I can do whatever I wish, however I wish. I know that I am not alone in what feels like a hopeless battle. I can fight forever but knowing that im not the only one fighting wills me with the vigor to pull through and take you down."
"Hmph, childish antics, you might be old now but you have never grown up. This bullshit power of friendship only leads to a darker end than even what we had. I took control because he couldn't do what was necessary." The hollow dismisses Axel's words, only relying on doom and gloom to fuel him.
"And what was necessary, from the pieces I've gathered from your combined memories, you alone betrayed him every step of the way because he was unaware of the threat you posed to him. A completely normal person thrust into reckless danger with no barrier to protect him. There was hope for him but it was you who shattered it all." Axel reveals what he knows which only seems to anger the hollow further as he stomps his foot, creating a fissure in front of him, only stopping just before Axel. As he is about to respond, a third red ring is beset by the other two. But only the female audience are aware of this change as the two men face off.
"YOU don't know anything, that pathetic false god was the one who made us the way we are. Don't speak like you know better when you have practically been pampered all your life by these women. I've witnessed the life you live."
"So you're jealous?" Axel questions as that is what it sounds like.
"Why should i be jealous of you, I am simply accepting of my own nature and how you repel your own…" the hollow states but stops speaking as it feels a familiar presence, a red-black swirling portal opens behind the hollow as a cloaked figure steps through.
"Aye, nature is one thing but it was my fault for not properly granting you the nurturing you needed. I had been rash and I had failed you, but it is time for me to make it right, once and for all, Xavier" the man states as the simple cloak on him is blown away to reveal a much taller figure with layers of much thicker cloaks, including a pauldron on his right shoulder. All of black and red coloration. Axel feels a weird connection to this figure through his divine domain.
"YOUUUUU" the hollow doesnt seem to react well to the new presence as he raises his hands like claws and long spikes come out of the gloves like energy projections. He swipes at the armored newcomer only for them to wave their hand to reveal a giant trident summoned out of nowhere as it is vertically aligned and stabs into the hollows chest.
SQUISH SPLURT
Flesh parts with little trouble from the monstrous trident covered in thick red and black veins. The hollow throws up blood from his mouth as his lungs are punctured but he doesnt relent as his claws still strike true and land an eternal scar upon the aged but resolute asian man's face.
"Forgive me, but to properly save you this time around, I must make you suffer some more. I hope you don't hold it against me" The cloaked man requests forgiveness but doesnt relent as he grabs his trident with his other hand and thrusts upward with his voice turning guttural.
"NIHIL"
