Chapter 7
Ichigo, Gin and Starrk looked at each other. Ichigo did not recognize him but he felt a familiar aura that Gin made with his creepy smile.
"Have I seen you before?" Ichigo asked Gin.
"We did. Ya were a gillian back then. I'm the one who gave ya all those other gillians. Gathering them up and feeding ya was a quite an investment, ya know?" he said.
Ichigo blinked as fragments of the memory came back. But it was enough to identify him.
"I'll kill you!"
Gin and Starrk was drawn back by surprise by the sudden outburst. Starrk was a bit slow to respond, but Gin wasn't.
"Shoot to kill-"
"Eat this!" Ichigo shouted as he pointed a finger at them. "Cero Destruccion!"
Gin's eyes opened slightly as the energy the cero began to draw exceed an Espada's Gran Rey Cero.
"Dodge it!" Starrk realized this slightly sooner and he jumped out of the way just as it fired.
Shinji groaned as he struggled to get up. Once he got up, he looked about and then inspected himself. He was bleeding badly, but it was okay; he wasn't dead. He looked about and saw Hiyori. "Hey, you dead?"
"..."
"Shit..."
"I'm not dead, baka.."
Shinji sighed.
"I just can't believe he's now taller than me..."
...
"That's hat got you stopping up there-"
But before he could finish, a giant red cero ripped through the town right behind him.
"W-What the hell!" Hiyori yelled, despite the injuries that screamed at her for screaming.
"This reiatsu..."
"What?"
"It's too similiar to Isshin's."
"!"
Kensei and Ulquiorra both froze and looked to the site of destruction that now laid upon the town.
Kensei's immediate attention, however, was on the townspeople. They had already began to ran away as explosions of their fight started so there weren't much people in the town. But those who did stay were now fleeing for their life.
At that instant, Ulquiorra saw a crack in Kensei's defense and took the shot.
Kensei noticed this but too late to keep himself from being injured. But he also saw a crack and gave his best shot with his explosion. "Supernova!" he shouted. His zanpakuto glowed white before it exploded four times, producing exploding shockwave. Ulquiorra flew away but the shockwave caught to him and hit him.
Kensei and Ulquiorra both took this chance to run to the warehouse where the cero had erupted out of.
Ichigo was on the floor under Gin's zanpakuto. "Is that how you repay your benefactor?"
"..."
"Fine, be that way."
Slice.
