Chapter 1
Multiple Battles with Black and White
Zetsu, with the Black and White halves sharing the same body, found themselves in a wasteland of endless plains. His opponent, or, opponents, happen to be numerous Arrancar.
"What's this?" Scoffed a Blonde Arrancar, "Is it really all of us against one guy?" He had long blonde hair and red eyes. The remains of his Hollow mask sat atop of his head, vaguely resembling a broken helmet. In addition, he wore the standard Arrancar uniform. He was named Yyldford Granz.
"Do not let his appearance fool you," boomed a familiar, echoing voice around the fighters, "He's well capable of fighting against all of you." It was their Tournaments' Benifactor
"I feel so flattered." Chuckled the White-Half of Zetsu. "Don't let your guard down." Instructed the Black-Half.
"What is he? Two-Faced?" Asked Arrancar 22, Abirama Redder. "He seems so creepy," Shuddered Loly Aivirrne, a young, teenage-looking female Arrancar. She had long, black hair with two pigtails which reached down her back, a slender build, and her visible right eye is pink. The remnants of her mask covered her left eye, which was shaped around her eye with teeth dotted along the bottom of the mask, and there was an extension from her mask into her hair which resembles a hair tie. Her uniform included a short, frilled skirt, white half-sleeves worn from the elbows down to the wrists, and what appeared to be thigh-length black-colored, white-outlined boots. She wore white bracelets on her arms, and she also wore a white-colored, black-outlined material that tied around her neck, which revealed a fair portion of her stomach as well as her chest, "It makes me sick!" Her closest friend, Menoly Mallia, remained calm and persuaded Loly to remain calm too. Menoly was a teenage-looking female Arrancar with tomboyish features. She had short, slicked blonde hair with a slight fringe over her right eye. In addition, Menoly had green eyes. Her Hollow mask was positioned around her right eye, completely obscuring it from view, with teeth dotted around the bottom. The location of her Hollow hole was unknown. Her attire consisted of a white dress with short sleeves, which were slit and run slightly past her elbows, and an upturned collar. Menoly's dress wass also unzipped at the front revealing her cleavage. Her dress also exposed her waist and part of her thighs on both sides of her body. A black sash was worn loosely around her hips. As with most Arrancar, she wore black tabi socks and low-heel sandals. Menolys' outfit finally comes a white, segmented choker and a series of white bracelets on her arms.
Wonderweiss Margela, one of the newer Arrancars, Numbered as 77, was looking around in awe of the barren wasteland. He had a thin and somewhat childlike body. He had light blond hair, parted to one side, with the tips fanning out from his face. The remains of his Hollow mask consisted of a three-point tiara on the top of his head. He only had two teeth visible when smiling, freckles and bright purple eyes. He wore the Arrancar jacket with a hole in the middle of his chest, which revealed his Hollow hole and the tip of a mark on his chest. The outfit also had large arm cuffs on the sleeves. HE had a rather large Zanpakuto on his back, sheathed, but he hardly ever draws it. He had an unusual behavior, in which was child-like, even for someone of his age. "Oooooo..." He muttered, turning his attention to Zetsu.
"I don't like the way he's staring at me..." Uttured the White-Half, reffering to the blank stare Wonderweiss gave the two-faced Akatsuki Member. "Ignore him." Replied the Black-Half.
"Who brought along him? The kid is more likely to get us all killed with his constant lack of focus." Scoffed Arrancar 26, Ggigo Vega as he pointed to Wonderweiss. Ggio was a slim, male Arrancar with scruffy black hair, a short braided ponytail, golden eyes, and a youthful, feminine face. The remnants of his hollow mask resembled the skull of a saber-toothed-cat, and were on the top of his head, which resembled a helmet. His Hollow hole was not visible. Ggio wore the white standard Arrancar uniform, but it was customized, which partly resembled a mandarin-style jacket with a small opening at his chest area, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, an upturned collar, and hakama, all of which were white. His shoes resembled traditional martial arts training shoes. His hakama was also slightly different from normal: the legs were close-fitting, and lack the creases normal hakama had.
"Aw give the cutie pie a break~! He's doing no harm~!" Cooed a large, bulky, and muscular Arrancar. His mannerisms and dress style bordered on those of a stereotypical drag queen. He had long, wavy black hair, large glossy lips, icy blue eyes, and curly long eyelashes. While his Hollow hole could not be spotted, his Hollow mask remnants resembled a small tiara with horns, and his Arrancar outfit was customized with feminine motifs. The cross-dressing Arrancar was known as Arrancar 20, Charlotte Chuhlhourne.
"I feel very uncomfortable about being separated from mi'lord, Master Nnoitora…" Sighed Arrancar Number 50, Tesla Lindocrus, a slim, male Arrancar with dirty blonde hair. He had a turquoise marking on his right cheek and wore an eye patch over his brown right eye. He also wore a different style jacket from most Arrancar in that it resembled a lab coat, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and what appears to be medals sewn across his chest. He also wore black gloves and boots. The remains of his Hollow mask appeared to be a thin upper jaw which formed a circlet around his forehead.
"He'll be fine," assured a very tall Arrancar with light green eyes and dark brown hair. His hollow hole was not visible, but his mask remnants consisted of a large plate across his chin with two horn-like appendages. He had two green, triangle-like lines running through each of his cheeks which formed inner circles. He had the hairstyle of a medieval monk. He was known as Arrancar 25, Choe Neng Poww. Poww wore the standard white Arrancar uniform, but it was customized to look like a Chinese garb, with long sleeves which exposed his very large hands. He wore a default hakama like all other Arrancar, and his sandals resembled traditional martial arts training shoes, "Just as we have faith in our Lord Baraggon, you too should have faith in your Master." He, along with the rest of Baraggons' Fraccion prayed to Baraggon for a great fight. The prayer soon ended.
"Now let's take down this mono-colored freak." huffed Arrancar 27, Nirgge Paduoc, a very large Arrancar whose Hollow mask remnants consisted of a thick helmet with short tusks that protruded from the sides. He had wavy, short blond hair, and four short squiggly lines descending from each of his dark red eyes. He had a jagged, chipped tooth protruding from the lower left side of his mouth.
Arrancar 24, Findorr Calius nodded in agreement, He was a slim male Arrancar. The remnants of his Hollow mask consisted of a smooth helmet covering the upper half of his face with eye holes and a row of teeth sewn across his chin like a strap. His Hollow hole was not visible. His Arrancar outfit vaguely resembled a Spanish soldier. He had customized it with shoulder pads, knee-high boots, and a knife-like protrusion on both of his sleeves which extended along the top of his hands. He wore his hakama with the legs tucked into his boots. He had long, flowing blond hair and leopard-like, light purple markings around his gray eyes. "There are 24 of us while that fellow over there has him and himself." Added Findor with a confident, yet calm smirk.
"23 rather smart individuals with 1 moronic half-witt." Added Arrancar 17, Aisslinger Wernarr. He was an Arrancar who abandoned his Human form for greater power for his Resurrección. He had four arms which each contained extended fingers that he could use to shoot his blasts of energy. His Hollow mask was in the shape of a beak, and if left only the upper-left quarter of his face visible. He had no legs. The 'half-wit' he was referring to was his companion, Arrancar 18, Demoura Zodd, who was either an incomplete Arrancar or one that never learned how, or cared how, to seal his power in a form of a Zanpakutō. Demoura maintained features that gave him the appearance of an hybrid between a Human and a Hollow. Demoura appeared as a dark-skinned deformed human, whose stature was disproportionate to that of a normal Human. The remains of his Hollow mask covered the top of his face. He also had two strange linear emblems between this eyes and an enormous and deformed jaw. Demoura used to walk stooped because of his long arms which brushed the ground as if he were an ape. He also had black hair and a dread-locked hairstyle with several ornaments and outstanding earrings at the end of these. Underneath his mask, he had two lines tattooed down his cheeks. His Arrancar hakama wass simple and similar to the ones of most Arrancars. Demoura took offense to Aisslingers' remark. "Hey!" He shouted. Aisslinger ignored him.
"Seems that we have male versions of you two." giggled Arrancar 56, Cyan Sung-Sun to her two female companions. Sung-Sun was a slender female Arrancar with long, flowing, olive-green hair, long eyelashes, and lavender eyes, with three pink dots just below her right eye. Her mask remnants created three hair clip-like extensions on the right side of her bangs. She wore a furry black necklace around her neck. Her outfit consisted of a long white dress with long sleeves, which extended well past her hands, with a single slit in each one, in which she uses to cover her mouth. She also had two thin belts cross-crossing around her waist. The two companions who she was talking to were Arrancar 54 Emilou Apacci, and Arrancar 55, Franceska Mila Rose. Apacci was a tomboyish Arrancar with heterochromia: Her right eye was ice blue, while her left eye was amber with a red outline around it. She had black, jaw-length hair, and her mask fragment was on the top of her head with a horn in the middle. She wore the standard Arrancar uniform, but had shoulder length sleeves with black cuffs with a v-neck, and gloves and collars over her wrists, which were actually her Zanpakutō. Mila Rose was a dark-skinned, green-eyed Arrancar with long, thick, wavy brown hair and large breasts. Her Hollow hole was positioned mid-way between her navel and breasts. Her mask fragments formed a three-sectioned crown around her head and a thick necklace. Her Arrancar attire was heavily modified: it matched to the attire belonging to an Amazon warrior, with multiple armor covering her breasts and upper arms, gauntlets on her forearms, and a white skirt. Both of Cyans' companions yelled at her for such an insulting remark. Cyan ignored them as she turned her head away from them innocently. All three, besides Lilynette, were all Female Fraccions to an Espada.
Thrilled to fight stood Arrancar 16, Di Roy Linker. What remained of his Hollow mask was a bulky helmet similar in shape to a hammerhead shark. The right-hand side of his mask was wrapped in bandages, which obscures his right eye. His right eye was identical to a normal Hollow eye; a white circle surrounded by black shadows. He had square, shark-like teeth, which gave him a slight lisp. For the most part, Di Roy carried his Zanpakutō in his hands.
Arrancar 14, Nakeem Grinda stood silent. He was a large, fat Arrancar who always took a hunched position with his hands crossed on his back. His face was round and wide and he had small, brown eyes. His hair was dark brown and had a bowl hairstyle. He wore the standard Arrancar uniform, a tight jacket and a belt leading a Zanpakutō in his waist. The remains of his Hollow mask covers exactly half of his face. Although he didn't talk so much, he knew what words to say at the right time.
The high, mighty, and prideful Arrancar 13, Edrad Liones appeared to be a very large Arrancar, with long red hair, however, half of his hair was shaved and blackened. The remains of his Hollow mask were merely the eye holes, which rest on his nose, and it essentially looked as if he wears unusual glasses. Edrad usually left his jacket open, revealing the Hollow hole in his chest.
Arrancar 11, Shawlong Koufang was known as the oldest of the Numeros, Arrancars that were ranked below the Espada with Double-Digit Numbers, 11-99, with 99 being the youngest. Shawlong Koufang had a long face and black hair, which was braided and was usually hung over his shoulder. What remained of his mask was on the top of his head, with a portion that dropped down to cover the upper-left half of his face, and a long spike that pointed to his right. The location of his Hollow hole was in the center of his abdomen, but it was hidden by his Arrancar uniform.
Last, but not least, stood Arrancar 61, Rudborrn Chelute, the Leader of a Team of Executioners known as the Exequias. Unlike most Arrancar, his face was hidden. He was distinguished from the other Exequias Members with his bull-shaped skull, instead of the typical human-shaped skulls his subordinates wear. Oddly enough, he was the only one from his Team to be with the other Arrancars. He remained silent, yet rational.
In addition to the entire Group of Numeros, there were three other Arrancars that accompanied them that were once Members of the Espada. The Privaron, or Ex-Espadas, were labeled with a Triple-Digit Number. They were replaced as Espadas because Sosuke Aizen, the Leader of all Arrancars despite being a Soul Reaper, found even stronger Arrancars to take their place.
Arrancar 103 was Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio. Dordoni had black hair and blue eyes. His hair resembled a pair of small horns, and he had a van-dyke beard and mustache. The remains of his Hollow mask consisted of a small plate on his forehead that has horns that mirrored those in his hair. Dordoni's Arrancar outfit was customized, with fringes on the forearm portion of the sleeves, a red sash tied at his waist, shoulder pads, and openings down the front which revealed his black undershirt. He was the goofiest of all the Arrancars, not just the Privaron but was capable of making up for it with great speed and grace. "The weird Jovenzuelo doesn't stand a chance!" He gloated gleefully.
Arrancar 105 was none other than Skullaks' Lover, Cirucci_Sanderwicci. As worried as she was for Skullak, she was prepared, none of the less, to take on their black and white opponent, showing off a sadistic grin.
And lastly, Gantenbainne Mosqueda was also known as Arrancar 107. He had brown eyes and a big burnt orange afro-style haircut with thick sideburns and a goatee. His outfit had been modified to match his particular style, including large frills on his collar and thighs. The remains of his Hollow mask were a sunglasses-shaped plate on his forehead with four teeth coming out above each eye. There was a star in the center of the mask fragment, which allowed Gantenbainne to see when he pulls the plate down over his eyes. He flipped the same visor on as a means of getting ready for battle.
Skullak was known as Arrancar 101, but was not seen around the Group. Cirucci tried her best not to distract herself with the disappearance of her lost boyfriend.
"You may now begin!" Boomed the voice of the Cloaked Figure.
"We can take him!" Laughed Dordoni boastfully, "There are 24 of us, and only one of him!"
Both sides of Zetsu smiled. They stripped their cloak off themselves to reveal a plant-like body in the resemblance of a flytrap. Zetsu began to split himself into two Zetsus, one black with some white oozing from the remaining White-Half as limbs while the White-Half bore new limbs of his own. Their plant like appearance had disappeared.
"Still not enou-" Dordoni was soon cut off by an unexpected trick of the White Zetsus'; The White Zetsu soon oozed and spitted up into multiples of White Zetsus. The multiplication started from 10, to 100, to 1000 and so on.
"You were saying~?" Taunted the Original White Zetsu. "You're in for it now~!" Added the Black Zetsu.
Gantenbainne smacked the back of Dordonis' head. "You just had to open your big mouth, didn't ya?" He huffed.
"Ow!" Uttered Dordoni, "I didn't know the White One could self-replicate!"
"Enough!" Demanded Cirucci, "Everyone else is counting on us to do our share of work, let's get them!"
Rudborrn did not hesitate to plan his first move; He drew his Zanpakutō and uttered the following phrase; "Grow, Arubora!" ("Tree").
Now, when a Soul Reaper releases his/her Zanpakutō, their swords change in form to better suit their battle stratagems, but when an Arrancar releases their Zanpakutō, they take on the form of their previous state of the kind of Hollows that they once were, or a Resurection.
The right side of Rudborrn's body became wrapped in branches reaching down to his waist, where they split off into roots that flared out on either of Rudbornn's sides. Four lightning bolt shaped branches grew out of the upper part of his right arm, with skulls similar to those worn by his subordinates that hung off of each one. He also carried a lightning bolt shaped stick or branch. He can grow six more of these branches, totaling ten, that could spread to the other side of his body. He created dozens of Calaveras, his Minions, from his branches to assist in the defeat of their mono-colored enemy.
Cirucci, Dordoni, and Gantenbainne used Sonido to make the first strikes as the White Zetsus' started charging at the Arrancars. Some Arrancars automatically released their Zanpakutō while others fought with their weapons in their sealed form, with the exception of Poww and Edrad fighting barehanded. Though Wonderweiss just sat around, looking at the sky without a care in the world.
Ggio and Aisslinger were showing the White Zetsus what true speed was all about as they mowed down several dozen White Zetsus. Charlotte and Dordoni announced the grace of their techniques through combinations of Sonido and Cero. Abirama was the second Arrancar to release his Zanpakutō and took to the skies, diving down and slicing at several White Zetsus. Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun wasted no time in working together. They did have a knack for arguing with each other, but when push came to shove, they don't fool around in battle...for the most part. Eventually there ended up being so many that the Feminine Trio had no choice but to sacrifice their left arms to summon their pet, Ayon.
Ayon was a tremendously large chimera-like being with a white deer skull at the center of its head. It had a long, dark brown mane, which flowed to its lower back, with a lighter brown fur that covered its arms and legs. A long, greenish-white snake tail extended from below the mane. In place of feet, it had two black hooves. Being created from Tia Hallibels' three Fracción, the parts of its body were made of parts representative of them. Its lower body and deer mask is representative of Emilou Apacci, its mane and arms come from Franceska Mila Rose, and its snake tail is from Cyan Sung-Sun. Its three creators believed it possessed no ears under its mane, which is why it could never respond to their commands. Neither the less, it was capable of making up for its' ignorance with massive strength and size.
The White Zetsus' kept coming with the original White Zetsu standing behind the White Army.
Then one of the Arrancars noticed something;
"Where's the black one?" Asked Findor as most of his face was revealed with one left, purple-eye.
Ayon then paused, making a low growl.
"Ayon?" Uttered Apacci, "What's Wrong?"
Ayon was shaking, as if something was possessing him. It so happened that something was possessing him! Within the holes of his deer-mask, oozed a toothy-grin with yellow beedy eyes.
"Foolish Freaks!" Laughed the toothy-being, it was Black Zetsu! In the midst of the fight, Black Zetsu was buying his time to see which Opponent to possess to increase the chances of winning the battle. The White Zetsu were a diversion! Ayon started attacking some of the Arrancars, in which lead to the deaths of Di Roy Linker and Nakeem Grinda caused by a Cero.
"Snap out of it!" Shouted Mila Rose.
"You do know that he's technically deaf, right?" Asked Sung-Sun to Mila Rose.
Poww was forced to release his Zanpakuto, Caulderon ("Pilot Whale"), growing in size and weight, to combat the possessed Ayon. Several other Arrancar joined in, but all that fought Ayon were bashed away and severely knocked out by the primitive sentinel. Only the Feminine Triad knew how strong Ayon could get when he would get mad and overwhelemed. And right now, Ayon has already been overwhelemed by the will of Black Zetsu.
"You'll have to kill your ally to get to me!" Sneered the Black Zetsu.
"Not a problem!" Replied the Three Privaron in their released forms.
Dordonis' Release Form, Girlanda ("Weather Vane") had large horns on his shoulders and armor that started at his feet, wrapped around his calves, and protrudes out at his waist with two more spikes. His mask was also extended, framing his face. He had wind-based abilities and had enhanced physical strength in his Released Form.
Ciruccis' Release Form, Golondrina, ("Swallow") Had large wings sprouted from Cirucci's back, that allowed her to fly, though she can be capable of moving them in mid-flight as though they were limbs. They each had ten crescent-shaped blades on them in place of feathers that could vibrate at a rate of roughly 1,100,000-1,300,000 times per second, which could increase their cutting power and allowing them to deflect spiritual particles. Her mask became a beak-like headpiece with a large, feathery mane protruding from it, that covered most of her body and trailing past her legs. She also gained a long, prehensile tail, which emerged from her back. Large pieces of armor that resembled the disc of Golondrina's sealed state form around her shoulders. In addition, her arms became long and slender, with large claws.
Gantenbainnes' Release Form was revealed as Dragra ("Dragon"). Gantenbainne's arms grew longer and became covered in dome-shaped, armor plating, while his punch daggers came to resemble dragon heads. Similar plates also extended down his back until they terminated in the form a tail, which gave him an appearance reminiscent of an armadillo. During combat, he could pulled his mask fragment over his eyes.
"We won't attack Ayon unless you three agree to it." Assured Cirucci.
Apacchi, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun had no arguments, but felt sorry that Ayon had to be put down like this.
With a combination of Dordonis' Twisters, Ciruccis' Feather Blades, and Gantenbannes' Electrical Blasts, Ayon was taken out in seconds. Black Zetsu was about to leave the airborne, scattered remains of Ayon when the Feminine Triad stood in front of him, in midair, with charged Ceros, and soon blasted him. Caught up in 3 different blasts, Black Zetsu Perished. "That was for Ayon." Growled Apacci.
All the White Zetsus' were astonished and horrified at the loss of their comrade.
Now was the chance for the rest of the Arrancars to finish what was started.
No sooner did the Arrancars finally overpower the numbers of White Zetsu. The Original was left standing. They surrounded him with all Zanpakutō pointed at his throat.
"W-wait," He begged of the Arrancars as he crawled backwards across the dirt, "I-Im sure we can come to a sort of agreement…! We can work something ou-!"
He was soon cut off by a Violet Cero that zipped right passed all of the Arrancars and engulfed the White Zetsu. In a horrible shriek, the White Zetsu died without a trace.
Everyone turned around to see who was responsible for the killing blow.
It was Wonderweiss, and he had a glazed smiled to prove his crime.
The lower Arrancars have won.
Round 1, to the Arrancars! While White Zetsu had the constant Numbers and Black Zetsu had the ability to possess anyone without a doubt, the Numeros, along with the Privaron, pulled it off because they had a large variety of skills that could counter the vast numbers of the White Zetsu, let alone Rudborrns' ability to produce more minions should he loose any. Hope you've enjoyed the first Battle, more to come! Feel free to Review or tell your friends about it or do both! Next Chapter coming sooner/later!
