Chapter 7
Everyone moved out as the sun rose over the now stirring town and moved quickly to their positions and surrounded the abandoned inn Aizen and the others were believed to be hiding. Team one: Shinji, Renji, Ichigo, and Ikkaku approached the entrance of the layout, while team two: Hisagi, Toshiro, Isshin and Chad surrounded the rear. Team three Ishida, Hachi and Hiyori arrived at the east side of the hideout while Soi fon, Lisa, Mashiro and Kensei were at the west side. Once everyone was in place they waited for Soi fon's order for all to move in simultaneously to ensure no one would escape.
'Go!' Soi fon instructed through the kido method Bakudō #77. Tenteikūra. They all moved into the building and began their search. Ichigo, Shinji, Renji and Ikkaku who entered through the front moved cautiously inside. After a few minutes walking down a winding pathway Ichigo began to wonder if anyone was even home he decided to open the first door at the hallway and begin searching the rooms. Once he opened the doors he saw a shadow of two people standing in the room. The shadows moved forward into the light so their faces could be seen. There were two men who happened to be arrancars standing in front of them. One had pink hair and glasses while the other had long blond hair. 'Well it looks like our hiding is over.' said the man with the pink hair, 'Am I right, shinigami?'
Meanwhile team two: Hisagi, Toshiro, Isshin and Chad surrounded the back entrance and began to open the door to enter when and loud sound erupted shaking the ground beneath them. Everyone went flying back hitting the ground with a loud thump.
'What the hell was that?' Hisagi asked looking to see if the others were ok as he pushed himself off the ground. Chad hit his head and was knocked unconscious by the blast. Toshiro and Isshin just suffered scrapes but were overall unhurt by the blast and got to their feet.
"where is Chad? ' Isshin asked looking around. He finally saw him sticking out under a piece or rubble. Hisagi helped Isshin pull Chad out. They checked his vitals and knew he was still alive just unconscious. 'Now what?' Toshiro asked 'we are down one fighter and we don't know how many enemies we're up against.' Laughter erupted from behind them. They all froze momentarily before turning slowly to face the source of the laughter. Three shadows emerged from the smoke. One arrancar was Arrancar #103,Dordonii. He had a long face and a Spanish look with black hair and blue eyes. His hair resembled a pair of horns and he had a van-dyke beard and mustache with a red sash tied at his waist. The other arrancar, was Di Roy RinkerArrancar #16. He stopped his laughing once he noticed that they were all staring at him. Di Roy had a hollow mask like a bulky headpiece similar in shape to a hammerhead shark with the right side of his mask wrapped in bandages. The third figure was Arrancar #11Shawlong Koufang. He had a long face and black hair, braided over his shoulder. His mask at on the top of his head, had a portion dropping down to cover the upper-left half of his face.
'Well Ninos,' said Dordonii, 'seems as if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe you came here on purpose?'
'Do you work for Aizen?' Toshiro asked. 'Just tell me where he is and there wouldn't be any trouble.'
'Wouldn't be any trouble? The shinigami says. Well why not, what fun will this be if there is no trouble?' Di Roy mocked.
'Enough talk, reap Kazeshimi!' Hisagi said releasing his zanpukto which resembled two death scythes joined by a metal chain at the bottom. He held one scythe and threw it towards Di Roy who quickly dodged the attack. Di Roy began to laugh, 'I don't think you are taking this seriously shinigami. You really under estimate our powers. Don't you?'
Hisagi pulled his scythe back stabbing Di roy in the back. Blood squirted in the air as Di Roy fell. Hisagi yanked his chain back. Di Roy began laughing once more. "You really think I would be that easy to kill, stupid soul reaper!' Di Roy shouted as he got back to his feet. He pulled out his zanpukto and jumped towards Hisagi. Hisagi threw his scythes. The first one missed but the other got close and he pulled it again wrapping the chain around Di Roy's zanpukto and pulling it out of his grasp.
'You were saying?' Hisagi remarked with a smirk which was quickly wiped away when Di Roy created a cero and sent it flying right at Hisagi. The cero got him in his upper arm.
Isshin attacked Shawlong while Dordoni tried a sneak attack against Toshiro but Toshiro sensed him and was able to dodge the attack by a hair.
'You've resorted to sneak attacks and dirty tactics I see. Well then I guess I wouldn't fight fair either!' Toshiro remarked. 'Reign over the Frosted Heavens! Hyorinmaru!' he shouted releasing his zanpukto to form an ice dragon perched on his shoulders. He thrust his sword forward and the dragon engulfed Dordoni freezing him in an instant. 'Well I guess you weren't as strong as you thought.' Toshiro said while looking back at his opponent frozen in the ice.
Shawlong and Isshin were still in combat. Shawlong was about to release his zanpukto when Isshin sliced his arm clean off in one swing. 'Oh no you don't!' Isshin shouted 'there's no way in hell I'm letting your release your zanpukto and attack me. Burn Engetsu!' he shouted. Flames flowed out of his sword as he used his attack getsuga tenshou. A bright blue light sliced Shawlong in half, blood now covering the floor beneath him as his corpse fell.
Isshin turned and saw that Hisagi just got hit in the arm with a cero and had burn marks around his chest area with blood trickling down his arm. Isshin rushed to block Di Roy's incoming attack aimed at Hisagi's head. Metal clashed with metal and Isshin pushed back with all him might sending Di Roy stumbling back a bit. At the same time Chad awoke and struggled to his feet.
'Woah Chad take it easy. You were knocked out you shouldn't be moving so fast.' Hisagi said.
'This isn't over yet!' Di Roy screamed. ' I will kill you!' he shouted ' better yet I'll just cut out the weakling from your group.' In an instant he disappeared using sonido and reappeared behind Chad stabbing him straight in the heart. Blood gushed from the wound and splattered all over the ground. Chad coughed up blood and heard his group shouting his name in shock. Di Roy pushed his sword in deeper and twisted it in Chad's body causing more blood to gush. Chad's eyes starting rolling back and he collapsed on the floor. Isshin was the first to reach his side and check his pulse confirming that he was indeed dead.
'Chad,' Isshin whispered 'I'm so sorry I wasn't able to protect you.' Isshin closed Chad's eyes and rose to face Di Roy.
'Getsuga Tenshou!' he shouted swinging his blade towards Di Roy. Di Roy moved but it wasn't enough to completely dodge the attack. He was screaming in pain, his right arm was severed at his shoulder and blood gushed out like a rapid flowing river.
'Does it hurt you bastard?!' Isshin shouted and punched him so hard he dislocated his jaw. 'Let me hear you scream now you piece of shit!'Hisagi grabbed his shoulders 'Isshin stop! Its not worth it. It wouldn't bring Chad back!' Hisagi cried. Isshin started to calm down and Hisagi let him go.
'Yes that's true but at least I can give him justice.' Isshin said. He took his sword and stabbed Di Roy in the heart. 'Getsuga tenshou' he said. The attack split Di Roy's body straight down the middle. 'Well that's the end of that.' Isshin said bitterly. Another loud sound echoed in the area.
'the others must still be fighting lets go and help them.' Toshiro said. The rest nodded and started into the building .
The man speaking to Ichigo and his team was Syayel apporro grantz (espada number 8) and his brother Yylfordt Granz stood next to him.
'Well brother, I don't know about you but I think we should fight them quickly and be on our way.' Yylfordt said.
'Remember our orders from Aizen were just to observe and distract, not exactly fight and kill the shinigami.' Syayel said. 'Besides I rather just have a talk with them and have them show me their powers and how interesting they actually are.'
'Well if u want to see my power you're gonna have to fight me!' Ikkaku shouted pointing his sword at the pink haired man. Ichigo put his hand in front of Ikkaku
'No Wait,' Ichigo said ' what do you mean by distraction? And where the hell is Aizen?'
'He's just as dense as Aizen said isn't he?' said Szayel 'you mean you haven't figured out that Aizen isn't actually here and that he has another objective?'
'What exactly do you mean by other objective? What are Aizen's plans?!' Shinji demanded.
'well,' Yylfordt started ' didn't you think it was strange for him to be calm all this time until you brought that woman into Karakura?'
Ichigo gripped his sword tighter, overcome with shock and anger. Tension was showing in his muscles and face as he spoke through gritted teeth 'What do you mean….are you talking about Orihime? What do you want with her?!' Ichigo demanded his voice steadily rising 'What the hell does Aizen want her for?!'
Yylfordt just laughed 'temper, temper. Control yourself all I did was say one thing and you get this angry? I-'
His words were cut short when in that moment of rage Ichigo flash stepped right in front of and stabbed him in the chest. Blood gushed from his wound and down his back as Yylfordt choked on his own blood as he coughed it up.
'I will not ask again,' Ichigo said, his words were dripping with murderous intent 'what does Aizen want with Orihime?...ANSWER ME DAMN IT!' Ichigo shouted as he thrust his zanpukto deeper into Yylfordt's chest making him wince and cough up more blood.
'Brother!' Szayel shouted grabbing the hilt of his zanpukto. Shinji flash stepped quickly in front Szayel to prevent him from attacking Ichigo and blocked his sword swing.
'I am your opponent!' Shinji said 'best if you remember that.'
Szayel gritted his teeth watching his brother helplessly bleed. Ichigo pulled his sword out of Yylfordt and he fell to the ground.
'Some use you are.' Ichigo said 'Shinji I-'
'You don't have to say any more Ichigo, we understand. We can handle these guys, get back to Orihime now.' Renji said. Ichigo nodded and started to leave.
'No its too soon… he needs more time…. we have to buy more time.' Yylfordt whispered feeling himself slowly being dragged into the darkness of death.
'What do you mean he needs more time? Just what are you talking about?' Renji asked.
'Wouldn't matter, by the time he gets there Aaroniero would have already snatched up that woman.' Szayel said 'you would be too late besides its not really your concern because all three of you will die here and I'll use your body parts as specimens for my experiments.'
'Extend Hōzukimaru!' Ikkaku shouted.
'Bankai Hihiō Zabimaru!' Renji shouted
'My, my already going to use bankai? That's kind of pathetic.' Szayel mocked.
'Its not pathetic, I just don't have time to waste with people like you.' Renji said yanking Zabimaru forward attacking Szayel.
'This is going to be problematic isn't it.' Szayel said and turned around to block Ikkaku's thrust. 'So you all are going to attack me at once huh? What about you who said you were my opponent? Why are you just standing there?'
'Collapse Sakanade.' Shinji said. After this he revealed his hollow mask.
'You're a visored then? A shinigami who has crossed over to the hollow side, how marvelous I've never done any experiments with one of you. This should be interesting.' Szayel said grasping his zanpukto handle tighter and clashing swords with Shinji. Szayel was cut on his shoulder and blood gushed from his wound. Wait what just happened I don't understand? Ikkaku landed another hit on Szayel apporo but how? I saw him coming from my left side and blocked the attack but I'm injured on the right? Renji also shot his baboon canon move from his bankai leaving Szayel with deep burns all over his body.
'Welcome to the inverted world Espada! Shinji said with a smirk on his face.
' Oh I get it now, so that's what your abilities are well then….did you still think that would defeat me?' he said while pulling out a small bottle and drinking the contents. The shinigami were amazed to see his wounds slowly heal and close.
'I am not to be underestimated!' szayelaporro shouted as he released his zanpukto Fornicarás after which a black liquid spewed forth from Szayelaporro.
'What the hell is that?' Ikkaku shouted.
'I don't know but I'm going to avoid it.' Renji said
Team four Soi fon, Lisa, Mashiro and Kensei were searching the west side of the premises when they encountered Ggio and Luppi. Luppi was espada number 6 and Ggio was one of the fracciones of Barragan but stayed on the premises.
'Just like you shinigami to stir up trouble.' Ggio said.
'Is that so?' Soi fong inquired 'well if you ask me it's you people and Aizen who stir up trouble. We are the ones who have to clean up after your mess.'
Ggio wasted no time and drew his sword charging Soi fong head on. They both clashed swords relentlessly and the sound of the clashing metal resonated in the area. She threw punches and kicks at him and he kept dodging
'So this is how the captain of the stealth force fights, not too shabby. I'm rather unimpressed.' Ggio used sonido reappearing behind her and lunged at her again. . 'Big mistake.' Soi fon said as she released suzemebachi and stung him on his shoulder. 'that's one' she said.
'now would it really be wise to kill one of the few arrancars here who know about the plan and where Aizen's whereabouts currently are.' Ggio said.
If what he says is true maybe I should just knock him out and take him prisoner Soi fon thought.
'What?' Kensei asked 'if you know something tell us now!'
'Can't you ask nicely or you know at least say please.' Ggio said.
'Ask nicely my ass' Kensei shouted charging towards Ggio. Luppi just stood there watching them fight like barbarians.
'Come now Ggio its time for us to go.' He said.
'Go? Go where? You're not going anywhere till we get some answers.' Lisa shouted.
'I guess its inevitable. We must fight and kill you in battle then before we can leave.'
Kensei and Mashiro hollowfied and began attacking Luppi. Luppi unfortunately was too slow and got thrown around like a ragdoll. Kensei concentrated his energy in his fist and punched Luppi straight into the ground while Mashiro concentrated her energy into a kick to the chest. A combination attack from both of them made Luppi hit the grounds o hard that the ground below him cracked and caved in. Luppi coughed up blood and suffered broken ribs and other broken bones. Luppi was now immobilized and unconscious.
'Luppi! Damn it!' Ggio shouted looking back at his fallen comrade. In his frustrated state Lisa charged him and landed a blow to his cheek as he tried to dodge the attack.
'Damn you.' He cursed, then he felt a sudden pain and was knocked into unconsciousness. Mashiro had delivered a blow to the back of his neck rendering him unconscious. 'well now that's taken care of I will let Hachi know and we will take them back for interrogation.' Soi fon said.
Team three Ishida, Hachi and Hiyori arrived at the east side encounter were startled suddenly while moving thought the inn by an object that looked like a disc shaped blade with a string attached crashing through the door towards them. Before them stood privareon espada Cirucci Sanderwicci with short purple-colored hair, purple-colored eyes and light purple teardrop markings on each cheek. Her outfit consisted of a frilly dress and a pair of knee-high boots with wings on her back.
'So what brings you shinigami here?' Cirucci asked 'If you are looking for Aizen he's long gone.'
'So it would seem.' Ishida said pointing his quincy bow at her with an arrow aimed and ready. 'We are here to gather information…'
'Look arrancar!' Hiyori interrupted 'we can do this the easy way or the hard way…. now tell me what I wanna know. Where is Aizen? What does he plan to do?'
Cirucci laughed, 'as if I'll tell the likes of you.' Uryu started firing arrows at her but she kept deflecting and blocking their attack. 'Is that all you got quincy? Then I guess I have nothing to worry about.'
'Hey! You got me to worry about cause I'm gonna kick your ass!' Hiyori shouted.
'Hmmm….the little midget wants to stop me, how hilarious.' Cirucci said.
'Gorondorīna!' Cirucci yelled and pulled on the whip with the disk and sent it flying towards them. With swift movements she hit Hiyori and Uryu. Hachi reacted quickly and put up a barrier but her disk blade grinded against it before shattering it like glass in an instant.
'Hachi watch out!' Hiyori shouted using flash step to come between the disc and Hachi. She got pushed back a bit by the force of the rotating disc hitting her sword. She pushed with all her might and was able to push it away from her. Hiyori hollowfied and attacked again landing a blow cutting the sleeve off her dress.
'You little bitch! You're gonna pay for that!'Cirucci hissed. Hiyori attacked again and again but Cirucci deflected every attack. Cirucci was able to injure Hiyori's arm with her disc blade. Uryu tried shooting arrows at the same time but Cirucci was too quick.
'what the hell is all this ruckus about?' a female voice sounded in the shadows slowly moving towards them. This woman was Loly Aivirrne, the 33rd Arrancar. She had long, black hair with two long pigtails and her visible right eye was 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. Before she could react to what was transpiring in front of her Hachi created a prison barrier to trap her.
'Hey what the hell is this?' she screamed banging her hands against the barrier 'let me out!'
'Loly!' Cirucci screamed and in that moment Hiyori flash stepped behind her and sliced the cable holding the disk blade. 'what?'
'You left yourself wide open arrancar!' Hiyori shouted. Uryu then shot his special arrow the Seele Schneider in Cirucci's abdomen. Her spirit energy drained and she gave herself up. To be safe Hachi also put her in a barrier. Hachi then opened the seinkaimon and pushed the two prisoners through. At the other end of the seinkaimon were the rest of the stealth force squad members. All anxiously awaiting the opening of the seinkaimon to receive prisoners in Karakura. Once the prisoners were received Hachi closed the pathway and used kido to alert the others that they have prisoners for questioning and to retreat for now. Soi fon then heard Hachi's message to withdraw then called him to their location to transport the other two arrancars. Team one who were fighting with Szayelapporro froze mid fight to listen.
'Well if that's the case my work here is done.' Szayelapporro said opening a garganta behind him. 'Maybe we can finish this another time shinigami.'
'No! wait! This isn't over!' Ikkaku shouted running towards Szayelapporro but the garganta gateway already closed.
'Damn it! That bastard we let him get away.' he shouted punching the ground.
'Wait,' Shinji said 'that was a garganta that he used right? That means Aizen or wherever the others are hiding are somewhere in Hueco mundo forest.
'Hueco mundo forest?! How the hell are we supposed to find them there you know how big that forest is, besides we have no way of creating a garganta yet so we have no chance for now.' Renji said.
'well at least now we have some prisoners and we can get some information from them, let's just hope it's enough.' Shinji said.
