After pinning Aika to the boulder, Koneko, and Sakura wanted to rush towards Kisuke to stop him from doing anything further. But just as they take their first steps, Yoruichi blocked their way.
"Yoruichi..." Sakura furrowed her brows as she said her name.
"You're misunderstanding things here, Mom. Kisuke isn't trying to hurt Aika-chan." Yoruichi calmly said.
"Then what is he doing?" Sakura didn't back off and continued to ask.
"He's giving her the chance to control her abilities and increasing her latent potential," Yoruichi explained.
"A chance?" Sakura's brows furrowed deeper.
"Yes, just a chance." Yoruichi nodded.
"What if she failed?" Sakura's voice is now growing colder.
"She'll turn into a monster that can't think." But Yoruichi continued to look at her eyes and spoke calmly.
"Then what are you planning to do if that were to happen?" Sakura's aura is now flaring up, and some of her Demonic Powers are also leaking out.
"Confine her somewhere until Kisuke finds a way to reverse her transformation. And if that is not possible, then we'll kill her ourselves." As if she didn't notice her change, Yoruichi stated their plan without hesitation.
"You...!" Sakura was shocked at her words as she didn't think they are capable of initiating this kind of plan and can become so cold-hearted when it fails.
Obviously, the onlookers are also shocked by her words. Akeno is especially worried about Koneko, 'Are they going to do something similar to her!? No! This won't do! I have to stop her from coming here!'
Yoruichi ignored their reaction and smiled, "You misunderstand again. We wouldn't proceed to do this if Aika is in real danger. Although all of what I said is true, chances of that happening are very minimal."
Sakura looked at her eyes and can't tell if she's lying, but she can at least tell that Yoruichi is very confident with her words.
Sakura sighed after a few seconds of contemplating, "Haahh... I'll trust you two this time. Don't mess it up and put Aika in danger. Let's go, Koneko-chan. We'll watch from the sidelines."
Yoruichi's smile grew bigger and answered, "We won't mess up."
She then turned around and pulled out four knives with inscriptions and threw it to the four corners of their location encapsulating her and the rest inside a transparent blue barrier.
"This is...?" Sona asks in wonderment.
"A barrier just in case a battle broke out." Yoruichi found a seat and took it, taking out her yogurt to watch the upcoming show.
Everyone saw this and returned their attention to Aika who is still pinned in the boulder, but she's already trying to escape while letting animal-like growls. The white matter already formed a half bone mask on her face while her the iris of her eyes turned golden with black sclera.
"What's happening to her?" It was Akeno who ask this time.
"Well... To make it easier to understand, that's her power going out of control. If she can't control it before she completes her transformation, that will become permanent." Yoruichi answered her despite not liking her very much.
Outside the barrier, Kisuke is intently staring at Aika and her changes. He is constantly scanning her with his soul and see how will her Sacred Gear affect the formation of her Zanpakuto. And Kisuke was intrigued at what happened.
Aika's Sacred Gear absorbed the Zanpakuto while it is forming and went to its place to become the Shinigami's 'Zanpakuto'. Her Sacred Gear even helped her fuse her physical body and soul body to help facilitate and adapt to the Reiatsu-Ki mixture. When Kisuke saw this, he felt cheated, 'Just like that? What the hell am I doing with my time...'
Kisuke continued watching, and just as he expected, the Reiatsu-Ki consumed all the dragonic aura to strengthen itself.
Inside the barrier, Ophis is also watching this unfold, although not as much as Kisuke. She can only see that there are some unknown changes to the Sacred Gear that it is now using some kind of energy that she is not familiar with.
Ophis had another shock today when she noticed that the strange energy is slowly consuming the dragonic aura which includes her energy until it completely disappeared. She tried looking for her snake and control it but failed. Ophis looked at Kisuke and became curious about the man himself for the first time as he is the instigator of this event.
When the dragonic aura inside Aika was fully consumed, her Hollow side completely took over covering her upper body with white matter together with the newly forming Shihakusho.
"GRAAAHH!!!" Aika roared and successfully shook off her bindings, dropping herself to the ground.
"W-What is that!?" Sona shouted. Akeno and Sakura also has the same question running in their minds.
"Sona-chan... Have you ever heard of a human transforming like this?" Sakura asks.
"Never heard of it... Akeno-san, what about you?" Sona passed the question towards the last conscious outsider.
"I've studied a lot of things on various topics to help Rias but I've also never heard of it. Tsubaki-san, do you know something?" Akeno then turned to Tsubaki.
"I would have to disappoint all of you, but if it is about that, you should ask these two." Tsubaki then pointed to Yoruichi who is happily eating her fifth cup of yogurt and Koneko who is watching worriedly. Both of them looked at Tsubaki but didn't say anything. Sakura and Sona sighed as they won't be getting anything from them.
Kisuke finally made his move and held his palms away from himself, with their arms extended out to the sides, before clasping his hands together, with the fingers intertwined intricately, "Bakudo No. 99, Kin (Prohibition)."
An invisible force swiped Aika's arms towards her back and several black spiritual fabrics tied it up and impaling it with iron shafts.
Due to the sudden movement and strangely heavy fabrics and shafts, Aika fell to the ground groaning. But she didn't give up and tried to stand up again.
Kisuke knew that it wouldn't take long before she breaks it so he continued. He slammed his fingers into the ground and released white spiritual energy, "Bakudou No. 99 Bankin (Full Prohibition), Prologue - Halting Wraps."
White spiritual fabrics appeared around Aika and covered her from head to toe as she shouts towards Kisuke.
"Refrain - Serial Hundred Bolts." Several metal bolts suddenly appeared in front of Kisuke and launched towards Aika impaling different parts of her body.
Just one chapter for today! And probably just one every day until next week or the week after that.

Aika is now laying on her back watching the world decay. She already opened a hundred or so boxes but found nothing.
"What the hell is this? Isn't there some sort of clue?" Aika muttered blankly staring at the black hole.
" "Are going to give up?" " Aika suddenly heard two contrasting voices of the little girls who disappeared earlier.
Aika looked up and saw them standing five meters away from each other, "I guess I shouldn't. I don't want to become like 'that'." Aika stood up and proceed to open boxes again and again.
" "Are you just going to ignore Father's advice?" " The two spoke behind her.
"Father?" Aika tilted her head in confusion. The only figure that comes to her mind that these two are calling father is the bastard who threw her in this situation, "Wh-" She wanted to ask the little girls who are they referring as father, but she suddenly remembered Kisuke words as he stabs her in the chest, 'Get the red string?'
Aika looked around and found no red string, 'All of these are boxes! How useless!' She then recalled Yoruichi's lesson and training regarding detection, 'If it's my power, I should be able to detect it right? Yosh, let's do it.'
But as she scans the boxes according to Yoruichi's method, all of them felt the same to her and nothing seems to be different in all those boxes. She's getting frustrated as the world is now about to disappear when suddenly she noticed a bunch of white strings coming from the boxes.
Aika was enlightened. She focused her detection skills on those strings and they became more apparent. As she is doing this, a red string is sticking out like a sore thumb, and she understood what Kisuke meant.
Aika pulled it along with the box it is attached and opened it. She saw a hilt of a Japanese sword and questioned if the whole sword is here or just the hilt because of the box's size.
" "Hurry! Pull it out" " The little girls shouted at her.
Aika put her hands on the handle and pulled it but it's stuck so she has to use all her might to pull it.
" "Hurry! Hurry! The world is about to collapse!" "
"Ugh... I... KNOW!!!" Aika used all her strength to pull it one last time and she succeeded, pulling out a two-meter long nodachi.
The moment she pulled it out her attire suddenly changed into a Shihakusho and the world instantly returned to its former appearance.
"Wait... I'm not going to attend some funeral now, do I? When can I get out?" She commented as she inspected her new attire.
" "Congratulations, Mother. Allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Aeternam Somnium (Everlasting Dream)." " The two of them spoke the same time again, but when they heard each other's name again, they started another war by throwing red and black balls of energy against each other, creating large amounts of explosions.
"STOP!!!" Aika shouted at the two ballistic little girls and they stopped, "Why are you fighting? Aren't you two siblings?"
" "She took my name!" " They pointed at each other as they explain their reason.
"Although I somehow understand what that name means, but why are you fighting over such a lame name?"
" "Because it's my name!" "
"Who gave you that name?"
They looked at each other and then looked back to Aika shrugging their shoulders, " "I don't know." "
Aika stayed silent for a moment before making her decision, "Come here, you two."
Both of them approached her with a confused look and waited for her to speak.
"I somehow knew that that name is very important, but I really think that it sounds lame. Since you two have the same name, don't fight over it." Aika patted both of their heads, but they look unsatisfied. They don't want to agree to her.
"But it's going to be annoying differentiating you two with the same name, so I'm giving you two a new one." Aika continued.
" "A new one? You want to discard my name?" " The two of them didn't feel well and was about to send Aika back outside and never let her use their name again.
"Of course not. I know how important that name to you two if you're both fighting for it. Since the two of you consider me as your mother, I'll give you additional names so the two of you will have a different set." Aika explained.
Aika faced the red-haired little girl and said, "You will be Akane (Brilliant Red)."
She then faced the black-haired little girl, "And you will be Kaguya (Bright Night)."
Akane and Kaguya looked at each other and smiled. They turned to Aika and exclaimed, " "We like it." " For the first time, the two acknowledged each other.
"Great." Aika is happy that they stopped fighting as she has a feeling that she has to resolve it. After they accepted their new names, Aika felt light as a strange power started to course inside her body.
" "Mother! Show Father our true selves!" "
Aika then loses consciousness as she returns to the outside world. She still wanted to know who are they referring to as 'Father' and why, but she subconsciously knew it and just let herself be taken by the flow towards outside.

"What is that spell? It looks lackluster but somehow, I feel that I won't be able to make any move if that cloth binds me, not to mention those bolts." Sona furrowed her brows as she inspected Kisuke's 'magic'
"It's not from any popular system... It's not even using a magic circle... How does that work?" Akeno muttered which was heard by all of them.
'There are too many unknowns. All we know is that he's an expert in space magic, and everything else is unknown. Where did it come from? From some ancient practitioners? And how did he learned it? For now, I have to remember every detail to search for information about it later.' Sona thought as she looks at Yoruichi.
Sakura was also thinking of the same thing, more or less. She didn't expect that her son is hiding something this big and didn't know what to think of it. 'We should have a proper talk later. But I doubt that he'll tell me everything just like the first time. I have to remind him that he shouldn't go too far in towards the dark side, or else, he'll regret it. I should at least that much as his mother even though I knew that I'm not doing a very good job in it.'
"Are you going to do the 'Final Song'? You might end up killing her." Yoruichi suddenly spoke after seeing Kisuke still not taking back his Reiatsu-Ki.
"I'm not, but just in case... Hmm?" Kisuke then suddenly smiled at Aika's change in the aura, "Looks like she succeeded..." After inspecting closely, his smile suddenly froze, "And she did it all the way... Damn... That's cheating... She's way worse than that strawberry."
Not so good author here~
Just some clarifications from the last chapter about errors that are pointed out by Peace12345 and Sheenius.
.
Thanks for pointing it out.
.
The problem Peace12345 pointed out is that MC's mother just let it go too easily. I should have added some introspection on Sakura's side to explain her thought logic. It should also show some of her past thought processes.
.
For Sheenius, I totally forgot to add Yoruichi's thoughts. It should be something like 'Kisuke can pull her out of that state before critical level anyways.' and others. And right, Aika can't fight her inner hollow. Sorry...
.
For now, I'll note it down and edit it later.
.
Anyways~ Enjoy~ And thanks again for pointing it out. I really appreciate it.
