Chapter 2: All hell breaks loose
'Thanks for letting Captain Komamaru take revenge on the girl sir' Soi Fon said to Yamamoto.
'There is no need to thank me Captain Soi Fon' Yamamoto replied 'He is the one with the most motivation to fight the girl so he's the best choice.'
'You little girl, why are you a soldier? There's no need for one as young as you to fight.' Komamaru asked his opponent.
'Ha why do you fight? You're just a glorified dog.' Bambietta replied. 'Oh I should probably tell you, In the Vandenreich army there are normal soldiers and the sternritters and within the sternritters there are 3 different ranks of power. First you have the soldiers who you would call lieutenants there are 20 of this rank we call them the äußeren Sterne. Then you have the ones you would call captains, there are 5 that hold this rank, they are the persons who hold one of these letters: K, R, I, E or G. We call them the Krieg Masters and finally you have our boss, the leader of the Vandenreich, the strongest of us all and the man holding the letter B Juha Bach.'
'All right thanks for the information. I have one more question: what is your rank and letter?' Komamaru asked.
'Ah that's a good question doggy, I am one of the Krieg Masters for I am the one who's called by the letter E 'the exchange' Bambietta Basterbine.
'Is that so? Then you better live to up to your rank and title.' Komamaru calmly stated before charging in with his released zanpaktou in hand.
Bambietta dodged his initial blow and countered immediatly leaving Komamaru no chance to block and thus leaving him with a shallow wound in his left arm. He growled and rushed in again this time making sure Bambietta wouldn't be able to dodge it. She however did block it and the opponents engaged in close quarter combat. Komamaru soon had to back out, Bambietta was way faster then him and her sword even packed a bigger punch too. How the hell could she be way stronger than him? He saw no choice but to activate his bankai even though he didn't want to use it untill she used quincy: vollstandig.
Bambietta was surprised when het opponent already called out his bankai so early in the battle. She could have sworn that he was holding back during the exchange of blows just now, she might actually have to use her special ability against the bankai if she wanted to win this without using vollstandig. Because even though vollstandig didn't destroy all her abilities like it used to back when it was still called Letzt Stil it did leave her with a very small amount of reiatsu for a full 2 weeks. In those weeks even an academy student would be able to beat her. There's no doubt that they were lucky the shinigami didn't know about there loss of power after using vollstandig.
Komamaru charged in again but this time his bankai did the same. Bambietta was so lost in thought that she had no time to dodge or even block and was hit right in the flesh by both Komamaru and his bankai. A few tense moments followed, did Komamaru already defeat his opponent? It appeared the answer was no, she could stand no more and only barely remained concious. As a result Komamaru released his bankai and walked up to his opponent to finish her once and for all. But it was at that moment that she spoke, it was barely hearable but she said: 'Exchange my pain with my opponent' and with that it suddenly becaim painfully clear why she was called 'the exchange'. As Bambietta stood up with only a shallow wound in her left arm Komamaru collapsed no longer able to move as he had deep slash wounds across his chest, the same wounds his opponent carried only a few moments ago.
'So doggy how does it feel to be so wounded by your own attacks. You do realize I let you hit me on purpose right?' Bambietta cheerfully stated. But before Komamaru could even attempt to answer captain Soi Fon attacked his opponent in a flash leaving her with a homonka on her back. And with that all hell broke loose. For having stepped in someone else his fight all the sternritters exept Juha Bach charged forward and all the shinigami did the same. And all this happened while Komamaru's drew his last breath and closed his eyes for good.
Soi Fon found her opponent in Bambietta Basterbine and they took off to a more secluded spot to fight each other with Omeada following his captain to help her. Ikakku, Yumichika, Hinamori and Hachigen teamed up to take down two sternritters who looked exactly alike and they too took off to a secluded spot. At the same moment Renji, Rukia, Nanao, Hisagi, Kira, Nemu, Yachiru, and Rangiku where goaded into a 8 on 1 match by the Krieg Master R 'the roar' Jerome Guizbatt. All the other shinigami entered one-on-one fights with a random sternritter.
'It's a total chaos' Unohana thought to herself as she undid her braid and prepared to fight her opponent a tall musculair man who kept on bragging. His name was Driscoll Berci and he called himself sternritter O 'the overkill'. Apparently he got stronger every time he killed something. What a worthless ability thought Unohana to herself, of course you get stronger every time you fight everybody get's stronger during a good fight. Right next to them there were once again two Kenpachi's as if one wasn't bad enough for the enemy. He certainly has a strong shikai ability, as if splitting in two while each body remained as strong as his pre-shikai self wasn't enough both bodies also gained two way stronger swords and to top it all of he can only be killed if both bodies were to be destroyed at the exact same time other wise the bodies would just certainly took pity on his opponent, a strange man with a strange looking mask who calls himself sternritter M 'the mask' Aristicles Arruro.
The battle was going on for about a half hour now and for now there were no more casualities on the shinigami side and only one on the sternritter side, it was of course Aristicles Arruro Kenpachi's opponent. His ability was actually pretty good, he could use his mask to suck in power from his opponent's sword making its cutting power way smaller but he had the misfortune of fighting Kenpachi because he just sliced him in half using raw power. Kenpachi had already moved on to help in fights were the shinigami in question was losing, one of his bodies was helping Isane Kotetsu for which Unohana was very grateful while his other body aided Lisa Yadomaru who was already badly hurt because she accidentally wound up with a Krieg Master.
Yamamoto had gone straight to Juha Bach to cut him down as he thought he would have the best chance against him. Never had he been so wrong. He had spent the last half hour being hit by own arrow after the other and has only managed to hit his opponent twice: once in the chest and once in his face. And the bad thing is he was already using bankai.
Yamamoto unfortunetly wasn't the only shinigami who was being knocked around. Soi Fon proved to be no match for her opponent Bambietta and Omaeda wasn't helping either. He already lay to the side too injured to fight properly. Bambietta however had a total of 5 homonka' son het body bur was now so accustumed to Soi Fon her speed it would be very unlikely that Soi Fon could hit a homonka for a second tired of playing around more decided to finish it and charged a arrow so strong Soi Fon would be death the moment it would hit her. Soi Fon could only watch in shock as a arrow was shot at her too fast for even her to dodge and too strong to block, she closed her eyes and waited for death but it didn't come and when she opened her eyes again she saw Omaeda collapsed in front of her with the arrow through Gegetsuburi and his own heart. And for the second time today she lost someone close to her and she fell unconsious. Bambietta decided to spare her as she put up a fun fight and she didn't want the fat man's sacrifice gone to waste and as she herself was hurt too she decided that instead of taking up the fight against someone else she returned to the Vandenreich's base.
By now the only reason Driscoll was still alive is because Unohana wasn't paying full attention to the fight as she was too distracted by the sight of Kenpachi. His had ripped of his own shirt as it was just in the way and his musculear body was in clear view. Unohana had to literaly tear her eyes of him every time her opponent decided to attack again and that became harder and harder as her mind continued to daydream about Kenpachi. And his shikai ability certainly didn't help as she found herself thinking about having both of Kenpachi's bodies in bed with her and she was almost too involved in this particulair dream as her opponent had already charged in again. She was however so angry with him for waking her up from that dream she cut him in half before he could even see she had moved. Unohana decided it would be for the best that she joined another shinigami in its battle, one strong enough to protect her if her mind were to drift off again so she decided to join one of Kenpachi's bodies.
Meanwhile Yamamoto had just been dealt a fatal blow by Juha Bach. He was so stupid for attacking while he had activated Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger. But Bach suddenly felt a huge amount of reiatsu behind him, a reiatsu twice as strong as Yamamoto's and as he turned around it was already too late. Sasakibe had activated his bankai and had sent a massive amount of lighting down to Bach. Bach just barely survived, he was too wounded too move or even talk. The reason the attack was so strong is that Sasakibe had put all of his life force into that one attack and so he turned to dust. Bach's second in command Haschwald sounded the retreat and all sternritters who where still alive suddenly vanished. Haschwald took Bach with him.
Kyouraku quikly ran to Yamamoto who was still clinging to his last breath. He even managed to say: 'You must lead them Kyouraku you are the new Captain-Commander.'
