Chapter 1: The Classroom Awakening
The smell of chalk dust and stale floor wax hit him before his eyes even opened. It was a scent he hadn't encountered in fifteen years, a scent that belonged to a life he had thought was long buried under the weight of burnout and regret.

Leo opened his eyes.

He wasn't in the sterile, white room of the hospital where he had taken his last breath. He wasn't in the cramped, debt-ridden apartment where he had spent his final nights staring at a flickering monitor, his heart screaming for a break that never came.

He was sitting in a desk. A wooden desk with a scratch on the corner that looked like a jagged lightning bolt.

"Leo? Are you listening?"

The voice was sharp, impatient. Leo turned his head slowly. Mrs. Gable, his high school history teacher, was standing at the front of the room, her arms crossed, her eyes narrowed. The clock on the wall read 10:42 AM.

The date on the whiteboard behind her was September 14, 2012.

No, Leo thought, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. That's impossible. I died in 2027. I was thirty-four.

He looked down at his hands. They were smooth, uncalloused, the skin unlined by stress. He touched his face. No stubble. No gray hairs. He was seventeen again.

A wave of nausea rolled over him, followed immediately by a cold, sharp clarity. This wasn't a dream. The pain in his lower back from sitting too long, the hum of the fluorescent lights, the way the sunlight hit the dust motes in the air—it was all too real.

He had been given a second chance.

The panic that had defined his first life—the fear of failure, the fear of the future, the fear of being alone—faded, replaced by a terrifying, electric calm. He remembered everything. The bad choices. The toxic friends. The girl who broke his heart. The job that killed him. The brothers he failed to protect.

Not this time, he thought, a dark smile touching the corners of his lips. Not ever again.

"Leo?" Mrs. Gable's voice cut through his thoughts again. "Since you seem so interested in the ceiling, perhaps you can tell the class the date of the Treaty of Versailles?"

The class turned to look at him. In his past life, Leo would have stuttered, blushed, and mumbled something incoherent. He would have been the invisible kid, the one everyone forgot.

But that kid was dead.

Leo stood up. He didn't rush. He didn't fidget. He looked at the teacher with a gaze that was far too old for a seventeen-year-old's face.

"June 28, 1919," he said, his voice steady and clear. "It marked the official end of World War I, but it also sowed the seeds for the next conflict due to the harsh reparations placed on Germany."

The room went silent. Mrs. Gable blinked, her mouth slightly open.

"Correct," she said, a hint of surprise in her tone. "Sit down, Leo."

As he sat, Leo felt a strange sense of power. He knew the future. He knew the stock market crashes, the tech booms, the scandals, the secrets of everyone in this room. He was a god in a world of children.

First step, he told himself. Survival. Then, dominance.

Chapter 2: The Ghost in the Mirror
The walk home felt like a dream sequence. The city was different, yet the same. The shops were smaller, the technology on the billboards was clunky, and the people moved with a slower, less frantic pace.

Leo walked past the grocery store where, in his past life, he had bought his first pack of cigarettes at eighteen. He didn't stop. He didn't even glance at the entrance.

He reached his childhood home. The house looked exactly as he remembered, but the feeling of safety was gone. Inside, the air was thick with tension. He could hear his father shouting in the kitchen, the sound of a plate being slammed onto the counter.

"Leo! You're late!" his mother called out, her voice tight with anxiety. "Your father is waiting."

Leo stepped inside, dropping his bag by the door. He looked at his parents. In his past life, he had seen them as monsters, the source of his trauma. Now, he saw them as obstacles. Two people who had failed to raise him, who had pushed him toward the edge until he fell.

"I was in class, Mom," Leo said, his tone polite but distant. "The bell rang late."

"Well, don't let it happen again," his father grunted from the kitchen. "We have bills to pay."

Leo nodded, ignoring the sting. He walked up the stairs to his room, closing the door behind him. He locked it.

He walked to the mirror above his desk and stared at his reflection. The boy looking back was handsome, but his eyes were different. They held a depth that shouldn't exist in a seventeen-year-old. They were the eyes of a man who had seen the bottom of the barrel and decided to climb out.

You have one year, he thought. One year to change everything.

He opened his backpack and pulled out his notebook. He didn't write down homework. He wrote down a list.

Physical Transformation: Start running. Build strength. No more slouching.
Academic Shift: Change major from Sports to Public Service. It was the perfect cover for a future in politics and business.
Financial Independence: Secure a job. Not just any job. The IT company. He knew the owner, Mr. Henderson, was struggling with a specific bug in their legacy system. He knew the solution.
The Brothers: He needed to get them out. He needed money.
Leo closed the notebook. He felt a surge of adrenaline. The fear was gone. The only thing left was the plan.

He walked to the window and looked out at the street. Somewhere out there, the people who had ruined his life were living their lives, unaware that the ghost of their future was already watching them.

"Let the game begin," he whispered.

Chapter 3: The First Move
Six months later.

The change in Leo was undeniable. He had lost the softness of his teenage years, replaced by a lean, athletic build. His posture was perfect, his movements deliberate. He was no longer the invisible kid; he was the one everyone noticed, even if they didn't know why.

He had changed his major. He had started running every morning at 5:00 AM. He had stopped talking to the "friends" who wanted to smoke behind the gym.

And now, it was time for the next step.

Leo stood outside the glass doors of Henderson Tech Solutions. The sign above the door was slightly faded, just as he remembered. Inside, the office was a chaotic mess of tangled wires and stressed employees.

In his past life, he had walked in here as a nervous intern, terrified of making a mistake. He had been fired three months later for "lack of initiative."

Today, he walked in with a resume that was a lie, but a lie that would become the truth.

"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked, looking up from her computer.

"I'm here to see Mr. Henderson," Leo said, his voice calm. "I have a solution to the server crash he's been dealing with for the last three weeks."

The receptionist blinked. "Mr. Henderson is in a meeting. And how would you know about that?"

"I know a lot of things," Leo said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Tell him it's about the legacy database. Tell him I can fix it in an hour."

The receptionist hesitated, then picked up the phone. "Mr. Henderson? There's a young man here. He says he can fix the database."

Leo waited. He could hear the muffled voice of Mr. Henderson on the other end.

"Send him in," the receptionist said, her eyes wide.

Leo walked into the office. Mr. Henderson looked exhausted. He was rubbing his temples, surrounded by stacks of papers.

"You're the kid who called?" Henderson asked, his voice weary. "How do you know about the database?"

"I don't just know," Leo said, walking over to the main server terminal. "I know the exact line of code that's causing the bottleneck. It's a memory leak in the legacy script from 2008. You've been trying to patch it, but the patch is making it worse."

Henderson stared at him. "Who are you?"

"My name is Leo," he said, sitting down at the terminal. "And I'm going to fix this."

He didn't wait for permission. His fingers flew across the keyboard. He didn't need to think; the code was already in his head, a memory from a future where he had debugged this exact system a thousand times.

Ten minutes later, the screen flashed green.

"Done," Leo said, leaning back.

Henderson stared at the screen, then at Leo. "That... that was supposed to take a team of three people a week."

"It was a simple fix," Leo said, standing up. "But I can do more. I can redesign your entire website. I can optimize your network. I can make this company profitable again."

Henderson looked at him, a mix of suspicion and awe in his eyes. "What do you want?"

"A job," Leo said. "Full time. Or part time, whatever you need. But I want a salary that reflects my value. And I want a say in the IT budget."

Henderson laughed, a dry, humorless sound. "You're seventeen. You're a kid."

"I'm the only one who can save you," Leo said, his voice dropping to a low, serious tone. "Take the risk, or watch your business die."

Henderson was silent for a long moment. Then, he extended his hand.

"Welcome to the team, Leo," he said. "Let's see what you can do."

Leo shook his hand. He had done it. He had secured his first step toward the empire.

Phase One is complete, he thought. Now, the real work begins.

## **END O

Episode 1: The Encounter

The story begins with Kenshin, a lively and energetic boy in a neatly pressed school uniform, sprinting down a quiet residential street. The morning sun filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the pavement. Kenshin greets the neighbors as he zooms past, his cheerful “Good morning!” bringing smiles to their faces. His pace quickens as he checks his watch, realizing he’s dangerously close to being late. Spotting a shortcut through a narrow alley, he hesitates briefly before deciding to take the risk. **“This has to save me at least five minutes,”** he mutters to himself, dashing into the alley.
As Kenshin exits the alley, the atmosphere shifts. A group of bullies is cornering another boy, their jeers and threats cutting through the otherwise calm morning. Kenshin instantly recognizes the boy being harassed—

“That sounds like- “
“SHIN!?”

a quiet but sharp-witted student. Shin meets Kenshin’s eyes and grins despite the situation. Kenshin smirks back and calls out, **“Again huh”**
“Oh, hey kenshin”
One of the bullies turns, his face twisted in annoyance. **“Who the hell are you supposed to be?”** he snarls. Kenshin steps forward with a confident swagger, cracking his knuckles. **“you guys don’t learn at all,so what’s the point in telling you”** he replies, they’re annoyed now and take their attention to kenshin. **“ I’m the guy who’s going to help kick your ass. Remember this face ,if you even can?”** said kenshin
The bullies exchange glances before charging at Kenshin, their fists swinging wildly some actually hitting kenshin and landing some clean shots this gave shin some time to take some out from behind. Kenshin now catches his footing and ducks and weaves however, his movements fluid and precise. He lands a solid punch on one bullies, sending him stumbling back. Shin, seizing the opportunity, blocks another’s strike and counters with a sharp jab. The fight is over quickly as the bullies, bruised and humiliated, retreat. Kenshin looming over them all on the floor, his eyes narrowing. **“Here’s your choice: ya leave my friend here alone, or next time i’ll make sure there won't be a next time.”**
“Tch y- yea whatever” they leave begrudgingly not really taking kenshin seriously but backing off for now
As the dust settles, Shin dusts himself off and chuckles. **“Well that’s done with. I honestly didn’t expect to see you this morning’.”**

Kenshin grins, shaking his head. **“I could say the same to you shin. Nice work back there”**
Curious, Kenshin asks, **“Where’d you learn to fight like that?”**

Shin hesitates, his expression unreadable. **“My roommate taught me a few things, he’s a karate student”** he replies casually. Kenshin frowns slightly. **“Roommate? I don’t think I’ve ever been to your place.”** Shin quickly changes the subject, glancing at his watch. **!“We’re going to be late if we don’t hurry.”**

Scene: School arrival
Realizing the time, Kenshin panics, tugging Shin’s sleeve. **“We’re going to miss the opening ceremony!”**

Shin places a reassuring hand on his shoulder. **“Relax. We’ve still got time . Can you still run?”**
Kenshin smirks, the fire of competition igniting in his eyes. **“They used to call me ‘The Flash’ for a reason-.”**
Shin slaps the fuck out of kenshin
Shin stares with an unimpressed look on his face. **“no one calls you that -_- .”**
The two race through the streets, weaving through pedestrians and leaping over obstacles. As they near the school gates, the warning bell echoes through the air. With one final burst of speed, they slide into the assembly hall just as the final chime sounds.
Breathing heavily, they find seats near the back of the room. A shadowy figure watches from a distance, their face obscured. They mutter under their breath, **“He hasn’t changed one bit.”**
A ceremony was held to welcome the students to another academic year as the principal introduced herself and shared a few remarks. She went on to introduce the student body president Saiyaka Ichidori and dismissed the ceremony telling everyone to find their homerooms.
After the ceremony, the students are instructed to find their homerooms. Kenshin and Shin scan the assignment board, their names listed under Class 11A. Excited to be in the same class, they make their way to the classroom. Along the way, Kenshin playfully nudges Shin. **“Ready to tackle another year together?”**
Shin smirks. **“Always.”**
As they enter the classroom, Kenshin immediately approaches a group of students, his natural charisma drawing their attention. **“Hey, I’m Kenshin! What’s up?”** He’s just beginning to exchange names when a voice cuts through the chatter.
**“Is this your attempt at making friends, Kenshin?”**
Kenshin freezes, recognizing the mocking tone instantly. The source of the voice steps forward, a sly grin on their face, and Kenshin groans. **“Oooof course, it’s you…”**
Scene: Arrival of Dante and Karin
As the class settles in, the door swings open, and Dante Koruiyu, an old classmate of Kenshin’s, strides in. His confident smirk instantly draws attention. Dante's eyes land on Kenshin, and his smirk widens into a grin.
**“Yooo, Kenshin! How’s it goin’? Feels like it’s been ages since I’ve seen ya,”** Dante exclaims, walking up to him.

Kenshin leans back slightly, pretending to size him up. **“Danteee ,hahaaa, you look like even more of muscle head >:)”** he teases, making a mock lifting gesture.and nudging shins arm
Dante bursts into a laugh but quickly pulls Kenshin into a friendly hug, lowering his voice. **“That’s not funny,”** he grumbles, though there’s no real heat *behind his words. Kenshin chuckles, patting him on the back. **“i’m sorry ;-;”**
Before their reunion can go any further, a blur of movement catches Kenshin off guard. A student suddenly appears behind him, aiming a kick at his head. Kenshin ducks just in time, laughing. **“WHAT THE-! H-HEY WATCH IT WILL Y-!”**
Turning to face the attacker, he sees Karin Haruno “KARIN!?”Kenshin says, another familiar face from his past. she swiftly delivers a kick to his stomach catching him off guard. Kenshin doubles over, coughing, **“hhrgnn, oow.”**
Shin chimes in after the kick “ Well I wasn’t expecting to see her?!”
Dante also chimes in “ You said it, thought she was never coming back”
Karin crosses her arms, leaning forward slightly. **“You’ve gotten rusty, Kenshin. Keep this up, and I'll even start feeling sorry for you.”**
“That was a cheap shot, You always have to beat me up?ugrh”* kenshin says, groaning in pain from the kick*
, the door to the classroom slides open with authority. Their teacher, Mr. Abarai, steps in. His sharp gaze silences the chatter, and he claps his hands once. **“Alright, everyone. Take your seats and Let’s get started for today.”**
Shin helps Kenshin to his seat as the murmurs start up among the students. **“what was that all about?”* one mutters. “I dunno, kick looked like it hurt though ,”** another adds, prompting a few chuckles. Kenshin rolls his eyes but grins.

Scene: Hollow appearance
The roll call begins, with each student introducing themselves. Names like Dante Koruiyu, Shin Kuchiki, and Karin Haruno come up, each met with varying reactions. Finally, it’s Kenshin’s turn. He stands, giving a small wave.
**“Kenshin Takahashi. Nice to meet you all,”** he says confidently.
Class proceeds uneventfully at first, but as Mr. Abarai begins outlining the year’s schedule,

Scene Continuation: Hollow Disruption
Shin kicks back in his chair, balancing effortlessly on its rear legs, folding a piece of notebook paper with a bored expression. Kenshin side-eyes him, whispering, "Seriously? You look like you’re about to nap."
Shin smirks without looking up. "I’m multi-tasking. You should try it sometime, Kenshin."
*”i hope you fall. -_-” said kenshin
you're always on about something." said karin as she writes in her book

Kenshin blinks, taken back. "What did I do ?" he asks under his breath, confusion written across his face as he turns to her.

Shin remains leaning and keeps his eyes down, snickering softly at the exchange; he says, " she really got it out for you, Kenshin," muttering, he folded another piece of paper into a small, firm triangle.

Dante, having listened to the teasing, snickers from his desk. "You knoww, when a girl acts like that, that means she likes ya kenshin" He grins, nudging Shin with his elbow.

Shin chuckles at the thought

Karin now “WHAT!”

Slightly flustered, Kenshin can't help but laugh "BAHAHAHAHA."

“Oh shut it KENSHINN!!” she says flustered and enraged.

“ALRIGHT QUIET DOWN OR I’LL KICK YOU ALL OUT OF MY CLASS YOU HEAR ME” said Mr. Abarai tired of the annoying yapping

He looks behind eyeing everyone in silence as kenshin gestures to shin

The room falls even quieter, the chalk pressing against the board being all that’s heard.
the air in the classroom shifts.
a faint rumble disturbs the calm. At first, it’s subtle—like a distant vibration. Then it grows louder, shaking the walls and rattling the windows.
Students exchange uneasy glances as Mr. Abarai tries to dismiss it. **“Oh? Well that’s odd , an earthquake maybe? ”**
But the shaking intensifies, and Shin’s eyes narrow, his instincts flaring. Suddenly, he shouts, **“GET OUT OF THE WAY!”**
The ceiling collapses in an explosion of dust and debris. Chaos erupts as students scream and scramble for cover. Acting quickly, Shin pulls Kenshin out of harm’s way, while Dante grabs Karin and shields her.
**“Everyone okay?”** Kenshin yells, his voice hoarse. The students shout back, confirming they’re fine—except for one girl who’s pinned under a large piece of rubble. Kenshin and Shin rush to her side, struggling to free her.
As they lift the rubble, Shin’s senses prick with unease. He looks around, his heart pounding as he spots something monstrous emerging from the ceiling. A huge, grotesque Hollow peaks its head out and observes, looking for something almost.
Shin’s expression hardens. **“Kenshin, we need to move—now!”**
Kenshin glances at the terrified students behind them and shakes his head. **“We can’t leave them. That thing could hurt someone!”**
The beast now finds what it wanted. kenshin.
Shin curses under his breath. **“Fine. We’ll lure it away.”**

It slams down onto the floor raising it’s spiritual power
causing most of the students to fall asleep, now inching towards the two
They come up with a desperate plan: distract the creature and lead it toward a weak section of rubble to create an escape route. Shin taunts the Hollow, drawing its attention, while Kenshin positions himself.
But it doesn’t seem to care and locks eyes with kenshin only and pounces towards kenshin
Kenshin moving out of the way just in a nick of time
It attacks him again, sending him crashing into the classroom door
**“AGCKH!”**kenshin groans
**“KENSHIN!”**shin yells
Kenshin looks up at the creature one more time realizing what it’s after and decides.

**“SHIN! CHANGE OF PLANS, IT’S ME THAT IT’S AFTER I’LL DISTRACT IT,AND YOU GET EVERYONE TO SAFETY!”** kenshin now runs off into the hall

WHAT?! NO! YOU IDIOT YOU’LL DIE! Shin runs to the doorway worried but he trust’s Kenshin will be ok with how fast a runner he is. “Damnit ok” he looks at the other students and goes to help them out of the room.
Kenshin and the hollow rush through the hall turning every corner until a dead end
The hollow approaches kenshin
**“Finally, *it lets out a barking noise as laughter* you’ve got legs boy, BUT NO BRAIN”**
Kenshin shook by its voice and ability to speak.
it rushes in to attack, kenshin now looking for ways to dodge knowing it’s probably futile but then time seems to slow
only for a blur of movement to intercept the attack.
A man in a bucket hat stands between Kenshin and the Hollow, effortlessly blocking the creature’s fist.
**“Who… who are you?”** Kenshin stammers.
The man doesn’t look back, his voice calm but firm. **“Now’s not the time for introductions.”**
Turning his attention to the Hollow, the man addresses it directly. **“A Hollow this bold inside the living world? What are you doing here?”**
Kenshin blinks in confusion. **“ a Hollow?”** he mutters to himself.
“RrrrGhrr YOU’RE IN MY WAAAY!”the hollow growls
The creature lunges again, but the man counters with a devastating blow from behind, sending it flying towards kenshin crashing through the wall and outside the building. **“W- woah”** Kenshin ducks and exclaims. the man jumps out of the hole in the wall disappearing into the wind
“He- he’s gone” says kenshin
Kenshin sees the hollow fall to the ground and dart off now disappearing into the bush cover behind the school
Kenshin is now filled with more questions than answers
Kenshin! Shin says as he rounds the corner “Phew your safe”shin says relieved
Outside, emergency responders arrive, ushering the students to safety.
The students outside are talking about the “earthquake” and about how faulty and weak the school building must be
Shin pulls Kenshin to his feet, both of them visibly shaken. **“We should get out of here before anymore weird stuff happens”** Shin says, his tone serious.
The school is dismissed for the day, with students sent home as repairs begin. Kenshin walks alongside Shin out of the building, his mind racing with thoughts about the strange man and the monstrous creature. **“What the hell was that thing?”** Kenshin finally asks.

Scene Aftermath of hollow
As the remaining students leave the school grounds, Shin realizes that Kenshin has disappeared. Concerned, he begins searching through the nearby streets, scanning the area for any sign of his friend. His worry grows as he remembers the strange events of the day—the Hollow, the mysterious man, and Kenshin’s shaken demeanor.
Just as Shin rounds a corner near the school, he bumps into Karin, who is also on her way home. She raises an eyebrow at him.
**“What’s the rush, Shin? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”**
**“It’s Kenshin,”** Shin replies, slightly out of breath. **“He wandered off somewhere. I thought he might’ve been with you.”**
Karin frowns, crossing her arms. **“No, I haven’t seen him.he still does that?”**
Shin tilts his head. **“What do you mean?”**
Karin sighs, leaning against a nearby wall. **“ It’s his way of dealing with things—getting some air, being alone with his thoughts. It’s been like that since we were kids. Just leave him be”**
Shin blinks, surprised by her insight. **“You’ve known him that long?”**
**“Yeah,”** Karin replies, her tone softening. **“He’s always been like this, especially after his dad… you know…”**
Shin’s eyes widen slightly. **“What happened to his dad?”**
Karin hesitates, looking away. **“He grew up without him but this isn’t my story to tell It’s a tough subject, Kenshin doesn’t like talking about it,but you should take that up with him your self.”**
Shin absorbs this information, feeling a new layer of respect and understanding for his friend.,

“You know karin, you’re not too bad when your not kicking somebody ’” said shin gratefully

Her soft expression shifts to a more stern and annoyed one “oh bug off”
“ehehehe”
Later that evening, Kenshin sits in his dimly lit room, the soft hum of the evening breeze drifting through his open window. His mind races, replaying the chaos from earlier—the Hollow, the mysterious stranger, and the ominous voice in the alley. He stares at his hands, clenching and unclenching his fists.
**“Was it real? Or am I losing it?”** he mutters. His gaze drifts to his reflection in the window. **“No… it had to be real. There’s no way I imagined all of that.”**
The muffled sounds of his family moving about the house draw him back to reality. With a deep sigh, he gets up to grab a snack from the kitchen, hoping to distract himself.

Scene: Shin Arrives
As Kenshin heads downstairs, a knock at the front door interrupts him. Confused, he hesitates for a moment before opening it. Standing there is Shin, his expression serious but tinged with worry.
**“Shin? What are you doing here?”**
**“We need to talk,”** Shin replies, his tone leaving no room for argument. **“Come outside.”**
The two step onto the porch, the faint glow of the moon illuminating their surroundings. They sit side by side on the wooden steps, the silence between them heavy.
**“You looked out of it earlier,”** Shin starts. **“I figured you’d need someone to talk to.”**
Kenshin hesitates before speaking. **“It’s just… today was a lot, you know? I’ve never seen anything like that creature before. And that man… Who was he? Why did he call it a Hollow?”**
Shin percs up at the word hollow. He exhales slowly, his gaze fixed on the ground. **“I can’t answer all your questions but maybe someday the answers will come.”**
They lapse into silence again before Kenshin asks, **“What about you? What’s your story, Shin?”**
Shin’s expression softens, and he leans back slightly. **“I lost my mom a few years ago. She… she was everything to me. After she died, I felt lost for a long time. But then I realized I had to keep moving forward, for her.”**
Kenshin nods, understanding the pain behind Shin’s words. **“I didn’t know. I’m sorry.”**
I didn’t change much for this part but it felt almost odd and out of place a little awkward too
Before Shin can respond, a piercing scream cuts through the night air, sending a chill down both their spines. They exchange a glance before hearing a familiar, guttural growl echo in the distance.

Scene: The Chase
Kenshin springs to his feet, his heart pounding. **“That’s it! It’s back!”**
**“Wait!”** Shin shouts, grabbing his arm. **“You don’t even know what you’re dealing with!”**
But Kenshin pulls free, his determination overriding his fear. Exactly! So their's only one way to find out**”**
**“THIS FOOL—HE’S GONNA GET HIMSELF KILLED!”** Shin shouts after him, gritting his teeth. Reluctantly, he takes off after Kenshin.
The two race through the quiet streets, following the sounds of the growling hollow They skid to a stop at a open empty street where the massive Hollow looms over a terrified young girl. Its glowing yellow eyes snap toward the newcomers, and a chilling grin spreads across its mask.

Scene: Confronting the Hollow
**“Shin, get her out of here!”** Kenshin orders, stepping forward.
**“You can’t fight that thing-”** Shin protests, but Kenshin cuts him off.
**“Just do it! Please!”**
Reluctantly, Shin moves toward the girl, grabbing her before the hollow could get his hands on her. shielding her as he leads her away from the monster. Meanwhile, Kenshin squares off against the Hollow, his fists trembling but his resolve unwavering.
He lunges forward, throwing a punch at the creature’s leg, but it barely flinches. The Hollow retaliates, swiping at Kenshin with its massive claws. He ducks and rolls, narrowly avoiding the attack.
**“You’re fast,”** the Hollow growls, its voice guttural and mocking. **“But speed won’t save you.”** as the hollow kicks shin away and grabs the little girl holding her over his head **“Why don’t you try to attack me I’m sure this poor innocent soul would love to get demolished”**
Kenshin stops as he grits his teeth, trying to find an opening, but the creature ligers the girl over them using her as leverage. With a laugh, the Hollow speaks again:
**“You reek of strength, boy. That’s why I came to your school. To consume your soul. It’s… delicious.”**
Kenshin freezes, his mind racing. **“I Knew it. So everyone WAS put in danger because of me.”**
The thought shakes him, but before he can react, the Hollow lunges again. This time, its claws graze his side, sending him tumbling to the ground.
The revelation leaves Kenshin paralyzed, his mind a whirlwind of guilt and fear. The realization that his very existence might put others in danger weighs heavily on him. Before he can react, the Hollow lunges, its massive claws wrapping around him like a vice.
Pinned, Kenshin struggles to break free, the Hollow’s dark energy sapping his strength. Shin watches from a distance, his expression shifting from shock to distress as he sees Kenshin’s anguish. In that moment, Shin recalls a haunting memory—an incident from his past when his inability to act led to devastation. That same suffocating guilt had once consumed him, leaving scars that never fully healed. The image of that day flashes in his mind, reigniting his determination.
Shin clenches his fists, muttering to himself, **“I won’t let this happen again. Not this time.”** He reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks like an ornate candy dispenser. He pops one of the capsules into his mouth, and in an instant, a dramatic transformation occurs. His physical body collapses lifelessly to the ground, but standing above it is Shin in a black robe, his Zanpakutō gleaming in hand.
Kenshin stares in disbelief, his voice trembling. **“Shin… What… what are you?”**

Shin steps forward, his resolve clear. **“I’m a Soul Reaper,. And I’m going to end this now.”**
The hollow now grabs a distracted kenshin
The Hollow lets out a guttural laugh, mocking Shin’s bold declaration. **“You? End me? What could a brat like you possibly hope to achieve?”**
*Shin readies himself*
Now tell me rrunt, which do i devour first, so delicious how about both at the same time” * the beast opens it’s jaws and brings the two closer to it’s mouth*

Without hesitation, Shin moves with blinding speed at the hollow, But the hollow uses his hand with the girl in a flash clenching tightly and waving her in from of shin,

“NUH UH UUUUH”,it says like a true troll but shin acted quickly and slammed his sword to the ground causing him to ricochet toward’s the hand kenshin was in and severe the hollow’s hand clean off freeing kenshin.
The hollow was bewildered and caught off guard yelling in pain but tried to maintain his composure

It the directs it’s shriek toward shin paralyzing him mid air for a few seconds
The monster uses this time to get the jump on shin and slams him to the ground near kenshin with arm that had a severed hand.
one knee. A wave of weakness washes over him—his energy is fading fast.**”what’s happening, somethings wrong”**
, coughing violently as blood drips from the corner of his mouth. Kenshin rushes to his side, desperation etched across his face. **“Shin! Are you okay?”**
Struggling to stand, Shin looks up at Kenshin, his voice weak but determined. **“There’s only one way to stop this thing now… Kenshin, I have to transfer my Soul Reaper powers to you.”**
Kenshin’s eyes widened. **“What? That’s insane! What will happen to you ?”**

Shin nods solemnly. **“I don’t know But right now, you’re the only one who can finish this.

Kenshin expression turns to a mix of emotions as he struggles to think properly on what to do
If we don’t do this,not just us. But hundreds…”** He grips his sword. And kenshin looks back at the hollows as it licks it’s wound**“ no….”** said shin, “thousands” kenshin wincing at the thought of knowing what comes next. “Will die” said shin hopelessly.
Kenshin only imagining is already frustrated”ALRIGHT! I’LL DO IT COME ON WE DON’T HAVE MUCH TIME!”
. Shin nods with determination places the hilt of his Zanpakutō against Kenshin’s chest, and a radiant light engulfs them both. Kenshin gasps as an overwhelming surge of energy floods his body. His school uniform transforms into a black Soul Reaper robe, and in his hand materializes a sword, pulsing with spiritual energy.
The Hollow, sensing the shift in power, hesitates
“Hrnmm?”
Kenshin gives a rough look at the beast not saying a word but a thousand were spoken with just that short glance.

The tension builds on the battlefield
…
**“GGRAAAUUUGHHHH”** the creature sends it arm with no hand and kenshin but he just on top of the arm and sends a wave of energy slicing it’s other arm with gir inl it setting her free she now runs to shin to feel safe ,
Now i can end i end you for real this time

The creature now knowing it’s out of options uses it’s technique from earlier at the school creating a mist surrounding itself and kenshin hoping to cause him to sleep so it can eat him and get away
Kenshin sends a wave of energy directly at the hollow’s torso through the smoke however, causing an explosion clearing some of the fog but not all and the hollow submerges itself into mist once more,
the creature now sends a kick from the mist but kenshin avoids it and slashes it’s leg off causing the hollow to lose it’s balance and fall over kenshin jumps out of the smoke directly in front of the full moon he charges his blade up once more and sends a big wave of energy down on the dastardly hollow ending it once and for all.
Shin utterly gobsmacked his useless ass couldn’t believe how cool it was to see Kenshin fight like that.
Kenshin falls to the ground panting heavily as he lands on his feet
“Kenshin you did it! that was incredible!”shin said happily in admiration
Kenshin turns to shin who’s behind him giving a thumbs up hiding his want to collapse to the ground.
“Now come on let’s deal with this litte girl, quickly” shin says
He gestures toward the spirit of the young girl who had been held captive by the hollow**““You need to perform a konso on her.”**
Kenshin raised an eyebrow, confused. “A… what?”
Shin sighed, crossing his arms. “It’s a konso. You use the end of your sword’s guard to send good spirits over to the Soul Society. Basically, it’s like sending them to what you people call heaven.”
Kenshin blinked, still processing the explanation. “You just… tap them on the forehead or something?”
Shin nodded, motioning toward the girl. “Exactly. Use the guard, press it to her forehead, and say konso. It’ll help her move on.”
Understanding now, Kenshin walked over to the spirit of the girl, kneeling beside her. His expression softened as he spoke gently, comforting her. “It’s okay. You’re going to a better place. Somewhere peaceful. I promise.”
He gripped his Zanpakuto and rested the end of the guard softly against her forehead. “KONSO!”
a soft light envelops her form. “You’re free now,” he says softly, watching as her spirit fades into the sky.
As the light dims, Kenshin collapses, his body finally giving out. Shin, with the last of his strength, drags himself toward Kenshin’s side. Together, they lay on the ground, battered but alive.
Shin’s voice echoes in Kenshin’s mind as shin looks to the stars above him : **“This is just the beginning, Kenshin. The world you’ve stepped into… it’s far greater than you or I could ever imagine.”**
The words linger as the episode concludes with the caption:
