Muahahaha sweet my comp works normally now and doesn't get in the way now. Awww too bad, I only had like 20 views and 1 review. I cry. Not really. I don't think I am that good of a writer anyway. Well its all good, just thought of this idea and needed it to be on paper. As always I don't own bleach, btw do I have to keep saying that? Someone tell me, its kinda getting annoying for me. (AN: when I use italics, it means a thought)


RECAP: Zangetsu- Well I hope you can fight because it looks like I need all of the help I could use against these three.

Ho and Ban- Oh how very touching. Now destroy Guhl, Gunther!!

A burst of water speed fast and its aim was true, but Nel swallowed the attack and fired it back at double the power. It hit the priveron espada and sent him into a shopping cart.

Zangetsu- It appears I was right. It wasn't for show after all.


Rain started to fall as the group stared at who would make the first move.

Zangetsu- I really hate the rain, its unsuitable.

Bladescream, (flicking on a bunch of switches) - Oh, it's raining. Good thing I came prepared.

At once, rods formed on the platforms and then extended out to form weirdly shaped umbrellas.

Gin- How'd ya know that it was gonna rain?

Bladescream- Oh I guess its just intuition.

Ichigo- Wow you're really prepared, that was very unlike you.

Bladescream- Well I guess it's just a talent. Now go back to watching the match.

Ishida- Guess that he doesn't have a different personality after all.

Back down in "Karakura Town"

Zangetsu- Wow, this rain bores me. I should end this quickly. BANKAI!!

Instead of the traditional tattered robes like the ones Ichigo had on, he was wearing white tattered robes and his sword was gray.

Nel- I agree. Maybe I should end this also.Lanzador Verde.

A spiraling shaft sped its way to the trio, but the aquatic twins deflected it with a well placed shield.

Water Bounts, (AN: I will just say this, because it's easier than going back to their names) - We think differently. This extra sprinkle suits us.

Gantenbainne, (pulling his visor over his eyes) - This rain doesn't bother me, as long as my partners have an advantage, its all good. Let's get this over with.

He places a well aimed blast against the spirit form.

Zangetsu easily flash steps right behind Gantenbainne.

Zangetsu- You're right. We should end this fast. Too bad you're too slow to begin with.

The rain puddles turn crimson as the blood splashes around his blade.The water bounts turn the blood into a death mask and covers Zangetsu's face. He starts suffocating.

Zangetsu- skdjfusijlzkjcjsdu (translation, what the hell happened?)

Water bounts- hahaha we control blood as well. After all, it does have water in it. Do you want to know what technique kills you before you pass out? Its called shukketsu fukumen (bleeding mask)

Nel- You can understand him?

Water bounts- Well he is talking into the blood. It's not exactly that difficult.

Hinamori- Ewww that move is really disgusting.

Mayuri- An ingenius way to win, it's very clever. I hope that I could learn that move sometime.

Hinamori and Toushiro shuffle away from him.

Nel- how long can zangetsu hold his breath? I have to end this quickly.

Water bounts, (as if reading her thoughts) -The expected time that anyone has held their breath for is three minutes under this.

Nel- Why have you not done this to me?

Water bounts- To be honest? It's really more of a strength thing. It takes out about three-fourths of our reiatsu combined to initiate this move. Which means Ganten, (points at the arrancar), it's up to you to keep her busy for three minutes.

Ganten- No problem. I think this should about do it. Doragon kyouran, (Dragon Fury)!!

Nel dodges it with ease, but his attacks keep getting faster and faster.

Ganten-Ha arrancar! Although we are similar in the fact that we were once former espada, you cannot defeat me that easily. My attacks will keep getting faster and faster with speed.

Nel- Damn! I can't win by just dodging his attacks. And I already tried one of my strongest attacks and it didn't faze the twins, maybe I should try that approach. But it almost cost me last time.

A blast from Ganten hits Nel when she wasn't paying attention, singing her shoulder.

Nel- Ow! That really hurt.

Ganten- Oh quit your complaining. I don't seem to recall this as a tournament of complaints.

It's a tournament of battle! Get your head in the game.

Nel- sigh I feared that I never would have to use this technique if I could help it, and this tournament doesn't seem like something worthy of using this, but zangetsu is dying and I must help him.

Bladescream looks thoroughly pissed off, while Zangetsu has fallen unconscious.

Ganten- What are you talking about? Its time I ended this with my most powerful attack. Dios, Ruego Nos Perdone diosu ruego nosu perudōne, (Master, bestow forgiveness upon me)

Nel, at the same time, calmly- heki sono houto ranpu, (pierce the way of light).

A bright light shines through as Nel discards her lance and is equipped with a bow made of pure light.

Nel, as quick as she can say it- Hope and light of the heavens give me strength. Kantsuu za ankoku, (penetrate the darkness).

Everyone missed it. One second an arrow formed on the bow of Nel, the next second, it was driven straight through the hearts of both of the water bountou simultaneously. They both gasped for breath as they fell down, breaking their bloody prison of Zangetsu. Zangetsu immediately gasped for breath, and turned to thank his partner.

But he found he could not. In order to save his life, she risked hers by not deflecting the shot aimed at her. She was frozen in mid air, as she crashed on the floor crumpled up in a tangible heap of limbs and hair. Her mask fragment broke off of the top of her skull. Zangetsu instantaneously ran up to her prone body and inspected the damage done. He sobbed after his fallen comrade. He hadn't met her personally, but he knew her through Ichigo and from when he was talking to her, he felt as if she had been a positive influence on the bright haired boy. Now she was unconscious, maybe even dead, and all just because he couldn't fight against simple water? It didn't seem right.

Zangetsu- You are gonna pay for what you did hollow.

Ganten- Hey now, it's a battle. Things like these are bound to happen. Besides, you're a shinigami spirit. She's a hollow. You couldn't have known her that long.

Zangetsu- She wasn't just a normal hollow. She was my friend, my partner and she saved my life. Now you have to face the ultimate price. Getsuga tenshō Katto Getsuei (cutting moon technique)

This last part was said very quietly so the arrancar in front of him would not hear it.

Being the lunk head that he was, he calmly blocked Getsuga Tensho, but he didn't notice the new attack.

The new attack, a streak of white traveling behind the black contacted on impact with his chest sending him out of bounds.

Bladescream- Whoa that was deadly!! We need to get an instant replay of that. Unohana, Isane! Would you please go heal, all of the contestants seeing as how they all suffered damages?

He didn't need to say anything because they were both healing already. Zaraki smacks him on the head.

Zaraki- Do you need to really tell them? Everyone down there is in almost near death condition.

Bladescream- Oh really? Is it because you think you need to protect your Unohana chan?

Zaraki looks like a tomato with a cleaver. He was about to bash his head in when Urahara deflected his attack.

Urahara- Zaraki taichou. You don't wanna kill the host of this tournament do you? Then you couldn't fight anymore.

Zaraki, mumbling- I guess so.

Bladescream- Phew! That was really close, thank you Urahara

Urahara- Don't thank me you swine. I just want the prize whatever is at the end. I'm greedy like that, and besides I don't think anything will be accomplished if he just hacked and slashed you. And besides I'm right here. I don't want blood splattered on my clothes (he laughed at this)

Bladescream- just happy to be alive I guess? Oh well lets bring in the next fight.


I am going to end it right here, because I can't find the notebook I use to write down the people, so I can't tell what is next right now. I hope to find it soon, pray for me! Anyway read review and vote, and btw I am so sorry for anyone who anticipated this to be out yesterday, I just had way too much to do. Anyways l8ter fellow readers.
