"Mamoko...Mamoko please get up!" I opened my eyes to see Loka Luha's deep purple one's.
"L-Loka Luha? Wha-what are you-?" she cut me off.
"Mamoko, this is very important." I sat up, a serious look on my face. "Not all zanpakuto have been reunited with their wielder. Momo Hinamori, Rangiku Matsumoto, Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake, Sajin Komamura, Byakuya Kuchiki and Chojiro Sasakibe have yet to recover them." my eyes widened. They have some of the most powerful zanpakuto..."And what's more, Byakuya Kuchiki has abandoned the Soul Society. He has been marked a traitor." my eyes widened even more.
"But...Captain Kuchiki is a man of the law...he wouldn't, he wouldn't do this." Loka Luha nodded.
"I understand that, but I'm afraid this is true. I got you up at this time so we can work on bankai, so we can assist in defeating the remainder of the zanpakuto." I nodded.
"Alright." I closed my eyes, prepared to train.
~The Inner World Of Loka Luha~
When I opened my eyes, I was once again in the field with the glowing purple flowers, the sky painted orange, pink, and purple. However, floating a few feet off the ground, multiple replicas of Loka Luha's sealed form. The real Loka Luha stood before me, zanpakuto in hand.
"As before, you must defeat me in battle. To do so, you must either knock my sword out of my hand, or find your sword out of the hundreds of zapakuto in this field. Once you do so, you will unlock a new power with the both of us, and we will discover bankai. However, I shall not hold back as we fight. And because you want to achieve bankai so quickly, I cannot guarantee that I will not kill you." I took a deep breath and nodded. I grabbed the nearest sword.
"I understand." Loka Luha nodded.
"Then lets begin. Fly!" her zanpakuto soared at us and I dove to the side. She struck again, and I placed the sword in front of me to keep the point from piercing my stomach. She put more spiritual pressure in the zanpakuto, and my weapon cracked. I jumped up, throwing my now useless weapon to the side. She snapped the weapon at me, grazing my arm as I jumped the left. She snapped her sword again, and I dove to the side, grabbing another zanpakuto on the way.
"She's so strong..."
"Fly!" the zanpakuto soared at me again, and I placed my sword in front of me so the shikai didn't wrap around my arms. If it wraps around any part of my body, the poison could enter my blood stream...and I'd be done for. The current situation turned into an all out tug-of-war, ending up with me letting go and grabbing another sword. All of a sudden, she charged at me, and I held my sword in a defensive position. Suddenly, she disappeared and reappeared behind me, cutting my shoulder deeply. I turned swiftly to block the following attack. I jumped backwards before flash-stepping forward to attack, which she blocked. She flash-stepped into the air, and brought the zanpakuto down, leaving me to flip backwards and out of harms way. She crashed into the ground, piercing the field with her weapon. She flash-stepped towards me and attacked me in a flurry of horizontal and vertical strikes. I did my best to block all of them, earning a few small cuts to the face and arms.
"She's so fast..." I flash-stepped backwards to avoid a serious slash to the stomach. She jumped up again, her sealed form held vertically over her head.
"Fly!" I jumped backwards, but Loka Luha managed to grab onto the sword I was holding, yanking it out of my grasp. She then flash-stepped towards me, kicking me hard in the stomach. I was thrown back yard or so, and I grabbed the closest sword. Loka Luha shook her head.
"Wha-what?" I asked, confused.
"You shouldn't be so rash as to randomly choose any weapon you see fit." she lunged at me, and she sliced the sword I was holding. My eyes widened. "Because you don't know if it's going to be weak." she slashed at me, cutting my chest as I jumped back.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Loka Luha asked. "You are very hurt." I shook my head.
"No, I want to continue. I must!" I lunged forward, grabbing another sword in the process, "I'll do whatever it takes to get stronger!" now was the time to be on the offensive. I attacked with a series of spins, slashes and stabs, all of which she either dodged or blocked.
"Alright then." she flash-stepped backwards. "Then let us progress onto the next step."
"The...next step?" Loka Luha nodded.
"Sometimes, you lose your zanpakuto, and is forced to fight hand to sword combat. A great disadvantage." she snapped her fingers, and all the replicas of my zanpakuto disappeared. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "You have to be fast and strong. But you also have to be smart. You have to learn to survive without your zanpakuto. Can you, Mamoko?" She lunged at me, and I jumped back.
"We'll see."
Will Mamoko achieve bankai? Review!
