It had been one day since they had arrived in Karakura town. Maddie had already begun working with the two local ghost experts while the man in red had left early in the morning. This left Danny free to begin his search for the source of this unusually energy.
"I have a bad feeling that the strange energy mom's studying and the threat Clockwork mentioned are related, which means I have to find it before she does I can't risk her getting hurt" Danny thought as he left the apartment the professors had provided for them.
Two white rings appeared at his waist, split and began to move up/down his body replacing his white t-shirt and jeans with a black jumpsuit with white gloves and boots. His skin became paler and shone with a faint glow, his eyes changed from blue to neon green and his jet black hair turned pure white.
"Time for some aerial recon" he thought becoming invisible and taking to the skies.
Dante continued to patrol the streets with his guitar case slung over his shoulder. As he observed his surroundings he let out an irritated grunt.
"Haven't seen a god-damn pizza shop since I got here, how do these people live?" He grumbled staring at a small ramen shop "Well when in Rome…or Japan…whatever I'm starving"
He had barely set foot in the door when he felt a sudden wave of pressure begin pushing down on him.
"What the hell?" forcing himself to stand up he saw several others begin to collapse under the unnatural pressure.
Focusing, Dante tried to pinpoint the source of the energy. His head snapped to the right an eager grin tugging at his lips.
"Jackpot"
Danny was nearly knocked out of the sky when the pressure hit. A large gust of blue mist came out of his mouth. Losing focus he became visible again, not that anyone was conscious to see him anyway.
"My ghost sense's going nuts! What's going on down there?" Danny thought beginning his decent.
"It's coming from that park!" he realised and sped up.
As he neared the park he began to pick out the shapes of the people down there. Two figures in white stood out against the green surroundings. One was a giant of a man making the other appear stick thin by comparison.
As he approached he saw another man, with tanned skin and strange black and red arm lunge at the larger white figure.
Danny increased his speed again "What the hell's going on! What's with the weird vibe coming off him?"
Before he could reach them the giant block the man's punch and twisted his arm nearly breaking it clean in two. Danny stopped mid flight frozen at the sight of the man's mangled arm as he collapsed to the floor.
A sudden scream snapped him back to reality as a teenage girl with waist length burnt orange hair ran to the side of the fallen man. Muttering a few words Danny couldn't hear an orange barrier surrounded the wounded man.
Danny watched in surprise before the giant man spoke.
"Hey Ulquiorra should we tear her limbs off and bring her back to Aizen?" he rumbled looking down with a savage grin on his face.
The smaller one (presumably Ulquiorra) closed his eyes "No her ability is interesting but she's just trash too"
The giant's grin widened as he raised his hand to strike her. Seeing this Danny aimed both his hands at the giant and opened his palms which were covered with a neon green glow.
Orihime looked up as the giant raised his fist grinning manically… until two green beams struck him in the back of the head. The blast left no visible damage but cause both the giant and Orihime to look up at the source of the attack. Floating above them was a young boy with white hair in a black jumpsuit, hands glowing bright green.
"Huh? Hey Ulquiorra is this the guy?" the giant asked
"Don't be a fool Yammy; the target has orange hair and a sword as tall as he is. This is just another piece of trash"
Yammy's look of confusion was quickly replaced with another savage grin as he opened his mouth at Danny and fried a large red beam.
"Whoa!" making himself intangibly the attack passed through him, once it had passed Danny swooped down and continued to fire ecto blasts at Yammy. Orihime watched in amazement.
"The attack missed, no it went through but how?" shaking those thoughts aside for now she determinedly got to her feet "I have to help maybe together we can hold out until Ichigo…" An image of an orange haired teen passed though her mind as she raised her hands in front of her. "No I can't keep relying on Kurosaki-kun to save me. This time…this time I'll fight to protect everyone!"
"Tsubaki, Koten Zanshun. I Reject!" as she spoke her hair pins lit p with one of the petal designs flying off in flash of light transforming into a small black arrow head before firing towards Yammy. Yammy shielding his face from Danny's blasts with his left arm saw Orihime's incoming attack out of the corner of his eye and raised his right palm up to catch it. Once it impacted Yammy closed his fist crushing Tsubaki into pieces.
"Tsubaki!" Orihime cried as Danny shot forward and delivered a two handed strike to Yammy's head. The giant man looked up and smiled catching Danny in his crushing grip. Danny wheezed as Yammy tightened his grip on his chest while pulling back his right fist.
"Go die!" Yammy roared hitting Danny square in the face catapulting him across the park into a group of trees. Trails of ectoplasm blood trailed from his nose and mouth as he fell to the floor vision blurring from the impact. Turning his attention back to Orihime he gave a disappointed grunt.
"Is that all? You really are trash" raising his fist again Orihime prepared to raise a shield when a series of projectiles stuck Yammy from behind. Ulquiorra turned in surprise at the newcomer's arrival to see a man in red coat with platinum hair holding a still smoking black pistol. The man then calmly re-holstered his weapon before setting down his guitar case.
"Hey tubby, aren't you a little old to be playing with kids?" the man taunted
"You're pissing me off trash!" Yammy snarled before launching himself at the man. The man clicked open the case and seconds before Yammy could strike withdrew a large two handed sword and met Yammy's blow head on. The ground cracked under the impact and Yammy was brought to a halt.
"Im…Impossible" he stammered as the man shifted his grip on the weapon and forced Yammy back. Resting the blade on his right shoulder the man flashed a cocky grin and beckoned with his left hand.
"Come on big guy" he said "Let's dance"
