AN: all right welcome back to the 2nd chapter of my bleach fanfic I'm going to make this one longer because I now realise how short the first one was. Lets go I'm pumped.
An arrow pierced through the area. several more followed, only to be deflected by Senbonzakura's petals. Uryu continued to shoot arrows from avery direction using his Hirenyaku. Uryu suddenly appeared behind Byakuya and lunged at him with Seeleshneider only for it to be deflected by a horde of petals. Byakuya pulled his hilt backwards away from uryu. A thousand petals came rushing from behind uryu. Uryu got swept aside by the storm of petals.
"I yield, Soul reaper" Uryu exclaimed
"good decision" byakuya replied
Uryu followed byakuya and another squad 13 mamber back to kiyone to mark off the board. His fight was the first to finish.
"Damn it, I had planned to come out on top" Uryu thought
"I guess I'll just have to watch from the side lines. hmm, where is Ichigo?"
Ichigo was one of the few matches that hadn't started because of Renji getting lost.
The two readied themselves in the allocated area and prepared to fight each other. Ichigo stood watching Renji with a serious look while Renji was nearly laughing for an unknown reason.
"GOOO" the referee said
Ichigo and Renji lunged forward and flung there swords at each other. they clashed and kept swinging at each other viciously. out of no where Ikkaku flew into the ring and crashed straight into Ichigo. Ichigo and Ikkaku flew into a nearby wall and Renji Laughed histerically.
"HAA ha ha ha, Ikkaku, what the hell are you doing" Renji laughed
"That bitch, Soifon knocked me flying with some explosive punch thing" Ikkaku replied
Ichigo stood up and punched Ikakku in the back of the head. Ikkaku turned around and started punching Ichigo aswell. The two started brawling and rolling around on the ground. Renji just kept laughing and he fell over and started rolling around on the floor. Ichigo picked up Ikkaku and threw him at Renji. Ikkaku got back up after land on renji and waved back at Ichigo and went to his battle. Renji got up and readied himself, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes. Renji decided to pick up the pace.
"Hey Ichigo, How about we go Bankai, I wanna show you some of my new tricks" Renji shouted across the area
"BAN-KAI" Ichigo replied
Ichigo was surrounded in shadow and then flashed a white light and his black coat appeared along with the new Zangetsu. The blade was longer and thinner, along with ridges along the back of the blade. Ichigo gave off little spiritual pressure in his new bankai and stood ready, waiting for Renji to show up in his.
Renji shouted out the two syllable word and a crimson wave quickly rushed over his body coating him in a crimson aura, He flashed a white light and reappeared with a fur piece around his neck and Bone armour his body and limbs. He had a helmet made of bone with little tufts of the red fur sticking out from the bottom and the back. His face plate was rested on top of his head. Zabimaru appeared aswell. It was alot longer
with red metal running along the sides. The Spiritual cables that linked the pieces together were less unstable or static and now appeared silent, still and shone a darker shade of red. the fur along the back of it's head bone was much longer, running down as long as nearly three pieces of bone.
"THIS, Ichigo. Is My New Bankai" Renji shouted happily
Ichigo shrugged his shoulders and sighed
"Average" he replied
Renji raised Zabimaru skywards and leaped backwards. Zabimaru came down and caught Renji on It's head. Ranji held on to one of it's new horns while holding It's tail in the other and directed it towards Ichigo. Flew at an incredible speed towards Ichigo and attempted to crunch it's jaws down on Ichigo. Ichigo blocked it with his sword on the top jaw and his foot on the bottom. Renji shouted
"Hihio Zabimaru Point blank Baboon cannon"
Ichigo's eyes widened in shock. The back of Zabimaru's house started glowing a bright crimson and white. Ichigo attempted to escape Zabimaru. Zabimaru only clenched down harder on Ichigo, slowly pushing him backwards. Zabimaru's mouth started swirling and letting off little bursts of spritual pressure.
"Hihio Zabimaru" Renji said.
"Baboon bone cannon mark 2"
Zabimaru suddenly released It's charge at Ichigo. The Cannon blast swallowed Ichigo. Ichigo grabbed his face.
The smoke cleared. Renji stood standing on Zabimaru. Zabimaru towering above the sei rei tei. Ichigo was no where to be seen. Renji searched the area. Out of nowhere Ichigo appeared next to him. The two stared eye to eye for a few seconds. Renji looked in shock at the Hollowfied Face of his rival. Ichigo stared back, half insane, ready to snap at any moment. Ichigo growled. He brought zangetsu up slashing renji's armour to pieces only barely missing him. He held Zangetsu above his head and Renji's for a few seconds.
"Yield. . . " Ichigo screeched, the hollows voice overpowering his own.
Renji quickly flicked his wrist and dropped at an incredible speed towards the ground. He landed with a smash, but still on his feet. he made Zabimaru surround and inclose him fully and tighten until Zabimaru couldn't move anymore. Zabimaru suddenly started spinning rapidly like a large ball spinning. out of the middle came an exhausted voice.
"Hihio Zabimaru Grinding Bone circle" Renji spoke
Zabimaru's tight clench opened and revealed Renji in the middle of a Bone Cyclone only six metres tall. Ichigo, out of instinct because of his mask, rushed at Renji. Renji waited until Ichigo was within slashing distance.
"Hihio Zabimaru Grinding Bone Cage" Renji shouted
Zabimaru enclosed around Renji and Ichigo again and kept spinning and grinding Ichigo up against the other bones enclosed in a complete circle. Ichigo managed to get close enough to Renji to whisper to him.
"Getsuga... TENSHOU" He shouted
Rays of light and pressure began to release from the cage of bones. the bones exploded in a massive white and light blue blast. Ichigo stood above the grounded and wounded Renji. Ichigo coughed blood and aimed Zangetsu at Renji.
"You've gotten alot stronger." Ichigo stated.
"Yield" he said calmly
"I Yield" Renji coughed
The two returned to Kiyone and updated the placings. Only three matches remained in the second round and two involved captains. Ichigo looked up at the placings on the board.
