In the darkness of the hallway there is nothing, just Ulquiorra Cifer and Ichigo Kurosaki fighting to the death, oblivious to everything around them oblivious to Orihime's screams of sadness for them to stop, stop the fighting, stop the death, stop it all. "Ichigo you cant win, you are only human I will be victorious" Ulquiorra said in his usual monotone voice "you will not win, you are a meager worm who should die in the flames of my wrath!!", "stop it please, stop" Orihime cried tears falling in a pool by her feet, the sound of a cero engulfs her ears "Ichigo!!!", "Orihime, Shut up I wont die anytime soon" Ichigo yelled in pain, "Give it up Ichigo you cant beat me I am too powerful for you" Ulquiorra said as the smoke cleared. Ichigo charged at Ulquiorra, their swords clashed for a few seconds before ulquiorra jumped back. "I am tired of this", he declared in his cold, unemotional voice. He jumped up on a pillar, his reatsu glowing a ominous black. "Murcielago", Ulquiorra's reatsu fell as a black rain down arround him. Ichigo stared wide eyed as the black wings of Murcielago spread and cover him in shadows. "No you cant scare me with your Resurrection dont even try you coward!!" Ichigo yelled trying to hide the fear in his voice from his enemy as the spear like sword sliced through his left cheek sending a searing pain through his body "Aaagh", "your pain is my joy ichigo I hope you die slowly so i can enjoy my victory much more", "you wont get that chance Ulquiorra" a garbled voice said from the darkness "what is this trick" losing his cool for a second as the black blade cut down his arm, "Aaaagh, kurosaki you will pay for this!!", as he flew into the darkness above, " hes gone we should...", "Kurosaki-kun watch out," Orihime pushed him out of the way as a blast of cero pummeled down on her, "Orihime nooo!!", "now you see the pain I will cause you all of your friends will die", "No your wrong we will not die to you arrancar or espada we will destroy you all", she lay on the ground motionless, "Noo Orihime" his mask falls away in a cloud of darkness as does his Bankai, he cries over her motionless body "shes not dead...yet" the air grows heavy with reatsu as it gathers around Ichigo in the form of a skull "No one is allowed to harm my friends, you will pay for this" he turns around Bankai in hand and the hollow covering his entire left side, "good now we can have some fun" as the two clashed in the middle of the room
