I don't own Bleach

"Time to die, Shinigami," the figure said. He rushes forward and attacks Byakuya who quickly draws his blade and clashes with the lance. The two push against each other's weapons but the man overpowers Byakuya by kicking him in the stomach causing him to go flying through a few buildings.

"Ni-sama!" Rukia cried. Renji grabs her shoulder to stop her.

"Byakuya can take care of himself, Rukia. We've got bigger problems at the moment," he said pointing his thumbs towards the army. Rukia nods and they head into battle.

Tides of Fate Chapter 3:

Death to the Dead

"Be careful! You have your limiters on so you're much weaker!" Sunsui yelled as the Shinigami charged into battle, "Don't hold back for a second or let your guard down!" Everyone nodded yelling "Hai!" and attacked.

"Bankai!" Toshiro yelled, "Daigren Hyorinmaru!" He goes in slashing at some members impaling them with his ice. Rangiku backed him up. Shu glanced over at them and turned his head back to the enemies in front of him. He stretched his arms out and two metal cables with small claw-like hooks came out of his sleeves.

"Here I come!" Shu yelled launching the cables out in front of him. He quickly grabbed one foe by the neck and broke his neck. He retracted the cables back to under his sleeve and prepared a Bakudo No. 62 Hyapporankan without saying anything. He launched the purple rods at the enemies and caught several foes in them. He then picked them off with multiple unspoken Byakurai's.

"Impressive," he heard a voice behind him say. He quickly jumped back and got ready. He noticed that this man was dressed in pure white. An Arrancar.

"Who're you?" Shu asked. The Arrancar drew his blade (a traditional fencing blade except it was pure black) and pointed it at Shu.

"5th Seat of the 12th Military Regiment- Jose Roberto and your end, Commanding General of the Kido Corps Shunre Kaizer," he introduced himself.

"Huh, Regiment you say?" Shu said raising an eyebrow, "So, I guess that's what you have instead of Squads?" Jose only nodded before charging.

"En Garde!" Jose yelled and Shu dodged. He then made a hand sign and a lightning bolt came down on Jose. He was relatively uninjured (Most likely due to Hierro) but had a few burns. "It does not look like I should play around. Prepare! I am about to unleash my fu-" Shu interrupts him by kneeing him in the stomach shocking Jose.

"If you have time to monologue you have time to fight!" Shu yelled. Jose became angered and flew up highter.

"Thrust! Latigazo [whiplash]!" His blade suddenly turns into smoke and surrounds him followed by a burst of reiatsu which dissipated the cloud. In its place is Jose but with his Hollow Hole in the middle of his chest. He was covered in bony plating with spikes coming out of his shoulders, ankles, and knees. Half his face was covered by a fox mask with the snout protruding out. He had pointy-tipped fingers and toes with black scalera and golden irisis. He wielded a whip. "Die! Wretched Shingami!" he yelled charging at Shu who scrunched his eyes and jumped back.

"Hado No. 54 Haien!" Shu said swiping his arm launching a purple crescent shape at Jose hitting him and exploding. He charged out with a few chips in his armor and raised his whip bringing it down. Shu easily dodged but he heard the sound of the whip crack and felt a sudden pain in his arm and found it bleeding. "What?" Shu said clasping the injured spot on his right arm before narrowing his eyes. "So, your whip hits me even if I dodge, huh?" He said looking over to Jose, "But there's a catch isn't there?" Jose readied his whip again but this time remaining stationary.

"No talking remember?" Jose said launching the whip at Shu who erected a barrier with a hand-sign.

"Right, sorry," Shu replied. He began to circle Jose who struck with a side-swipe. Shu quickly jumped up and dodged it but this time he didn't get harmed.

Huh, what? I didn't get hurt this time. Shu thought narrowing his eyes. He knew something was up. Why was he hurt the first time but not the second? It was clearly something to do with the Arrancar's Zanpakto's abilities. Wait, why was the release command Thrust when a whip is never effective at thrusting? Release Commands always had something to do with the ability so why-? Wait, that's it he's got a theory. He charged forward and Jose cracked his whip at him. Shu quickly dodged but did so with precision. Paying attention to the tip of the whip as he did. And his theory was proven correct so he jumped up and successfully dodged the ship. He was pretty banged up from the attacks and had bruses and was bleeding but was smiling.

"I figured it out," Shu said smirking. Jose cocked his head and glared menacingly at Shu.

"What do you mean?" Jose asked.

"How your Zanpakto works," Shu replied. Jose became shocked and his eyes grew wide. "It's fairly simple really. Everything that's around say 10 to 20 feet in front of the tip of your whip is hit as if it were hit by the whip. Simple but effective none the less. I applaud you for not gloating about. Most warriors feel the need to gloat of their power. Good Job."

Jose smiled, "Yes, well I am nothing if not a true sportsman. I admit myself beat in this game of deception but don't think I've shown you all of my tricks." Not wanting to give Jose a chance to show off his powers Shu rushes in.

"Ama no Nuhoko!" Shu yelled summoning up a red kido spear and charged at Jose preparing to impale him.

Jose continued smiling and began charging a cero. Shu couldn't stop his momentum and was bracing for the impact but then Jose said, "Cero: Barrera." Instead of discharging at Shu the Cero expanded outwards into a wall which caused a powerful explosion that sent Shu flying back with the spear. Shu narrowed his eyes and threw the spear at the barrier. The spear narrowed and elongated in nearly an instant and struck the Cero: Barrera causing a large explosion. Jose was seen on the other side a bit shocked. He apparently hadn't expected the Cero to break. He brought out his whip and fired several slash shaped balas at Shu who quickly dodged. He tried using shunpo to get closer but not to much avail. He realized with his powers so severely sealed he could probably win. He looked around and saw the other Captains and Lieutenants weren't fairing all to well with their battles either. Except Kenpachi. Kenpachi never had any trouble or got his butt whooped. Ever. He was considering his options but was having trouble under the pressure of Jose's attacks. Both Balas and Ceros alike were being fired at him. He then reached behind him and pulled out a few rectangular prisms and threw them into the air and suddenly all of the Ceros and bala were directed towards them. He took this opportunity to begin an incantation.

"Ye priceless Star-Crossed Lovers. Enjoy your blackened tears. Weep in the sun and Sing in the day. O' Cupid bring down your love-hating wrath down. Black Hearts come together and send everything back to wince it came. Thrust their chests from their very brains!, Hado #1 Sho!" Shu cried and the tip of his finger glowed blue and it looked and felt like something was rushing away to both of them but quickly thrust all of the air back and caused an even larger hole to appear in Jose's chest creating nothing more than a big cavity as he fell to the ground. Suddenly a large group of Arrancar appeared behind Shu who quickly tried a butt barrier. It worked…. sorta. It merely took the all the Arrancar by surprise seeing a butt-shaped barrier but they quickly got their minds back but before they were able to go around it Shu heard a familiar voice.

"Tsugi no Mai: Hakuren!" Several Arrancar were taken by surprise as they were swiftly frozen solid and the Ice was quickly shattered by Hoho Zabimaru.

"Huh, you really did make a barrier shaped like a butt interesting," Renji casually remarked.

"Thanks for backing me up Renji, Rukia," Shu said. They nodded towards him.

"Any time," Rukia replied.

"Cover me, I'm going to try and contact the Soul Society with a Kido and I need absolute focus on the Kido," Shu said. Renji and Rukia nodded and Shu landed on a building and began.

Somewhere else

6 figures draped in white cloaks and wearing hoods with 5-pointed crosses on them appeared from some mass apparently made of shadow in a dark place.

"Wow, this place is reeeeeally spooky," one of them, a girl, said.

"That doesn't matter," said the shortest of the group, another girl.

"Tch, it ain't nothin'. Is this reeeeeeally all the security Muken can offer?" A male asked.

"I doesn't matter," replied the one in front, a male, most likely the leader, "Besides most of the Shinigami are worried about the Captains and Lieutenants trapped in the Fake Karakura barely anyone's watching Muken right now. We just need to get in, break out all of the ones who agreed to assist us and get out with making as little ruckus along the way."

" And "collect" the corpses of the ones who will be useful to us but didn't agree to assist us," another girl slurred.

"That too," the leader said, "Move out."

Author's Note: Sorry this is late couldn't quite figure out how to do the fight scene and got a bunch of work for school which takes priority. First fight scene done any advice on that and how to improve them since there will be ALOT would be most appreciated. Thanks for reading! Callian31 signing out!
