And this was a construction site literally littered with I-beams. And to lift an I-beam you would need more than just human effort. You would need a machine. Preferably a mobile machine – and professionals of the trade would call a mobile machine something very specific.

To move around such heavy loads in a construction site, be it I-beams or gravel, you needed construction vehicles.

And as I felt the power of the rider seep out of me and into the vehicle I rode in, I grinned. Omaeda was opening a Senkaimon to take Rukia away? Maybe his Captain wouldn’t approve, but since she was occupied at the moment and he apparently defeated us, there would be little backlash – that was probably his reasoning, if I had to guess.

Being occupied with getting back to the Soul Society, he only noticed when it was too late to respond that I was about to literally bulldoze him away. Dropping Rukia, Omaeda spun to meet the blade of the bulldozer with his sword. I can’t imagine much further reasoning from him as he was preoccupied trying to slow me down.

Unfortunately for Omaeda, this thing would not be stopping for him. I bailed the bulldozer and left it to barrel him down into the main structure of the incomplete building. The sound of an I-beam being struck resonated as the vehicle, still aflame, continued to press into Omaeda. Finally, the beam snapped.
