(I only own the OC, not all of the cast of Freezing and Bleach.)
It took me five months and several and I mean SEVERAL Writer's Blocks, but in the end, it's done: Chapter 10 of the Nova Slaying Shinigami. Sorry for the very long wait everyone and I hope you will like it as much as I do. I added some references from Five nights At Freddy's(The Dolls), another friend's fanfiction To My Death I Fight(Really you should read that, it's amazing!), and lastly... pieces of different fight scenes from when ichigo fought Byakuya and later when he fought Oko Yushima. I haven't done a chapter this long like this since I did Sekirei EX's last chapter, so I hope you will love it, I think it's completely kick-ass. Have fun, y'all! XD
The Nova Slaying Shinigami
Chapter 10: Rumble In The Manor
Seishin along with Yoruichi, Rukia, Tia, Nel, Satellizer and Rana all stood together with their Volt Weapons at the ready as they glared down at Esdeath and her team. The blue haired leader made a cocky grin on her face as she looked down at each of the members and she finally sees their KI beginning to show.
"I've been waiting for a fight for so long." Esdeath said smugly. "Now, I can finally say that we have now gotten ourselves our worthy adversaries."
"Can the chatter, Esdeath." Seishin rebuked. "I already heard from Kaho that you're pretty strong for the leader of the Jaegers. So let's see how skilled you really are."
"Let's..." Esdeath chuckled. "Kurome... you'll fight the girl who controls ice."
"Rukia, are you up for it?" Seishin asked.
"Yeah," Rukia replied as she looked at Kurome with ambition. "I think this Kurome girl might be a good opponent to fight against."
"Good." Seishin replied.
"I'll fight Kalawarner." Satellizer suddenly spoke; Kalawarner simply squinted back at her as a response.
"...and this Bambietta should be a fun opponent." Rana added. "I'll fight her."
"Better watch what you said, girlie-girl." Bambietta said. "You might just regret it."
"Ok then... Yoruichi who will you face."
"Candice Catnipp, huh?" Yoruichi smirked while she cracked her knuckles. "Let's see who's faster, me... or her..."
"Heh, I'll take on that green haired girl." Raynare said as she looked at Nel. However her smug smirk was quickly turned to a look of surprise as Nel's childish nature was replaced with a look of seriousness.
"I'm looking forward to breaking those wings, little angel." Nel rebuked which made Raynare growl.
"I will face Akame." Tia said. "She has a similar aspect than I do. I want to see her aspect first hand. When I'm done, I'll help you defeat Esdeath."
"Tia Halibel…" Akame glared directly at Tia with a grim look. "I will take you down before you will ever come to help him."
"Then I'll take you down quickly." Halibel rebuked making Akame scowl.
"Alright then, let's take these Jaegers down and save our friend!" Seishin ordered with his friends charging towards their chosen opponents.
About five minutes later after Seishin and the others have entered the mansion and faced Esdeath, a set of running feet and gasps of air were heard all across the school grounds. Kaho was running to find help... while on the run from Esdeath's servants; the same trio of Second Years who were beaten by Seishin and Rana the other day.
"Have to... find... help!" Kaho said while gasping for breath while sweat ran down her face in streams.
"Get back here, First Year!" Audrey cried while the three girls continued pursuing Kaho.
"We can't let her get away!" Trish yelled as she tries to catch her with her volt weapons.
She ran as fast as her legs could carry her across the red brick sidewalks; it wasn't long until she was captured by them. Audrey then pinned Kaho against the walls with Trish keeping her still by setting the tip of her twin broadswords against her throat, despite her struggle to break free.
"Aw, why do a first year like you want to run and get help?" Mika said while wearing a smug smirk on her face. "Is it because you're weak... or just scared of being beaten by us?"
Kaho then remembered the times she saw Seishin has helped out many people and changed the outcomes of many others. She also remembered what Seishin had told Kaho earlier today.
...
"Seishin, how are you this strong?" She asked him. "It's not every day we have such strong Pandoras in our school. Come on, what's your secret?"
"It's no secret; I just train every now and then." Seishin replied with a chuckle. "Kaho you're strong as well, I know that from the first day we met."
"Aw, Seishin... Thanks for the kind words, but I'm not strong like you, or Rana, or Satellizer." Kaho looked down. "I wish I could, but in the end, I'm not. You already had seen me when those three second years attacked us. I couldn't defend Kazuya yet alone myself."
"Kaho..." Seishin placed his hand on her right cheek and softly caressed it, causing her to blush. "I believe that even First Years are just as powerful as their seniors. I believe you have something to fight for... It's not the weapon that makes a Pandora strong, nor the amount of Stigmata you have... It's the reason to fight for is what makes the Pandora strong."
"Seishin..." Kaho blushed and smiled.
"Your time to become strong will come soon, Kaho." Seishin said as he kissed her cheek. "I believe in you..."
...
After her remembrance, she stopped trembling and turned towards the three second years with seriousness in her eyes, which made the three girls stopped smirking.
"Something's different about her." Trish said.
"Yeah... I don't like it." Audrey added.
"My reason for getting getting help isn't because I'm weak... and I am CERTAINLY not scared of you!" Kaho snapped at the three girls causing them to look at her with wide eyes. "It's my job as a Pandora to find and help others... and I don't need any Second Year bullies to tell me what I can or can't... DO!"
Kaho immediately manifested her volt weapons and swiftly retaliated them, slightly wounding them and ripping their clothes causing them to wince in pain a bit and cover their bosoms in embarrassment. Audrey then looked back up at Kaho who glared at the three girls.
"Damn you!" Audrey cried. "How are you getting this power?"
"Seishin... He's my inspiration." Kaho said until she noticed Elizabeth, Chiffon and the other girls returning to their dorms. They stopped when they saw Kaho and the three Second Years, they immediately ran towards the scene of the problem.
"Kaho!" Chiffon cried. "What the heck happened?"
"Let's just say these three girls needed... discipline." Kaho bravely replied. "I could explain more, but Seishin and the others are saving Kazuya. They're over at Esdeath's mansion."
"I never expected you to hold you own against them, Kaho. I'm impressed." Ingrid smiled at the young First Year, before she turned her attention to Chiffon and the others. "Elizabeth, you and Kaho go to Esdeath's mansion. We'll stay behind to tend to these three and then we'll catch up afterwards with some back-up."
"Good luck getting there, you two." Audrey said which got her attention. "Mistress Esdeath will take you two down without mercy."
"Not even your playboy of a Pandora, Seishin will beat her now." Trish said.
"I wouldn't underestimate Seishin Samayou so easily." Elizabeth rebuked. "No matter how bad the odds are, Seishin will overcome them. That's one of the reasons that I love about him."
The girls growled as Elizabeth, Chiffon and Kaho both ran towards the direction to Esdeath's mansion.
Meanwhile; back at Esdeath's manor, the fight between Seishin and his team against her and the Jaegers began with everyone splitting up to face their opponents in different locations, leaving Seishin with Kazuya and Esdeath in the semi-frozen meeting room. The two glared at each other with their weapons firmly grasped in their right hands, waiting for who makes the first move... but for Kazuya; who was by the door watching what happened felt like hours had passed.
(Now playing Time to Attack(Breakbeat Mix))
As a piece of ice broke off from one of Esdeath's earlier attacks, it slowly fell towards the floor. Once it had hit the ice covered floor, Seishin was first to make his move. He ran with his volt weapon held to the side in the blink of an eye as he closed the distance between them. Just as he came within arm's reach, he skidded to a halt and swung his volt weapon.
Though she had heard of how skilled Seishin was, it was nothing she couldn't handle. When Seishin swung his volt weapon, she merely leaned back allowed the crimson blade to harmlessly fly inches from the tip of her nose and then tries to attack him by turning her body in a full 360 to lunge her sabre towards his chest. Seishin immediately caught on to her attack and replied with shifting his waist to the left to evade her blade, while using his volt weapon to help parry the blade away.
"As I thought, he's very skilled, " Esdeath thought as she regained her poise and retaliated with her, swinging her blade diagonally towards his left shoulder. He countered by blocking her blade with his and delivered a right roundhouse kick to her left temple. The hit was connected, but she regains her ground after skidding two feet away from Seishin.
"Just as I thought, you are an admirable fighter, Samayou." Esdeath stabbed her blade in front of her and wiped the trail of blood off the left corner of her lip. "You're leagues above the Untouchable Queen and that Tibetan girl, just like those three Second Years you met had mentioned." Seishin's eyes squinted as he now knows those three girls he met works for Esdeath. "Therefore, I have a proposition for you."
"A proposition; what are you getting at?" Seishin asked as he lowered his guard. Esdeath knows that he could anticipate what move she could make so she lowered her guard as well to relax themselves in the tide of battle.
"I wish to appoint you to be my Co-captain of the Jaegers, Seishin Samayou." Esdeath announced. "With your powers we'll rule this school."
"Screw that, I'm not buying your excuse." Seishin rebuked, not wanting to hear the rest of her offer.
"Hear me out, Seishin." Esdeath interrupted and continued explaining. "As an offer, we'll let Kazuya go. All you needed to do is give up your trivial pursuits such as protecting some weaklings like Kazuya or that Kaho kid. Can't you see that they're holding you back, it's the weak that are destined to lie beneath the boots of the strong in this school, and those that can't accept that are meant to be just easy prey for the Novas… That; my friend, is Survival of the Fittest."
Seishin could just flat out say 'no' to her, but her offer is very well beneficial. He knew that Kazuya would be safe if he chose to join her, but doing so means not just him, but his friends to give up their honor as Pandoras and swear allegiance to Esdeath. His choice was clear and he knew what he wants to say.
"To join you means giving up my reasons to become a Pandora, along with Satellizer and Rana to give up their honor that makes them strong? I say... TO HELL WITH YOUR OFFER ESDEATH!" Esdeath was stunned that Seishin would blow off her offer after everything she wanted to give him. "I have a really bad problem with people with power swaying others to join you. It sickens me completely. After what you've done to Kaho and insulting Kazuya, I will never join with someone like you!"
Esdeath's eyes were covered by both her hair and the visor of her hat; the grip on her sabre has tightened to the point that he could hear the hilt creak from the pressure and an aura of pure evil began seeping out of her like a dark fog. The only thing that's revealed within the aura was a wry smile.
"So that's your choice, Seishin..." Esdeath muttered aloud as she made a small chuckle. "Very well then. There's only one thing I can do now... and that's to kill you and your friends for defying my offer. I'll make your deaths a slow and agonizingly painful moment I'll never forget!"
Esdeath chuckled menacingly as she immediately charged towards Seishin with her intent to kill as an aura of ice enveloped her blade. Seishin growled as he immediately prepared for what's about to happen, he gripped his weapon tightly in his grip and readied himself. Flames were enveloping his blade as he charged towards her; the two clashed as streams of ice and flames were scattered all across the room.
(Saung fades)
Meanwhile, Rukia traveled through the endless maze of toys in search for Kurome. After experiencing her trip to the toy world during her bout with Riruka, Rukia became more aware of what things might come for her. Little did she know; a few plush dolls were spying on her preparing to attack.
The first was a brown bear that wears a black top hat and bow tie. Its light blue eyes were lightly shown from the shadows. After a few seconds when Rukia turned around the corner, he then called out three more dolls to join him. A faint chuckle was made as a lavender-colored bunny with maroon eyes and a red bow tie which was partially obstructed by his chin. Beside him was a bright yellow anthro chicken with black eyebrows, magenta eyes and wore a white bib that reads, "Let's Eat!" Lastly a crimson colored fox with a black eye patch over his right eye and a hook for a right hand joined them.
As Rukia was walking deeper into the toy maze, she stopped as she heard faint squeaky steps slowly approaching her. She held her volt weapon tightly and waited to see what will happen next. A second after a wall of toys began tilting over, her intending to trap her in the debris. However, she immediately dodged the falling toys by using her Accel Turn to run to the far corner of the wall. Before she could sigh in relief, the fox immediately made an attempt to strike down a Rukia while her guard's down. Rukia noticed the doll diving at her and countered with leaning to the left; watching the fox fly by her and then sliced the doll, head first in half.
"Ah geez…Here we go again…" Rukia said aloud as she looked around for any opposing enemies other than the fox she sliced in half. Her instincts were right as the bear, bunny and chicken all rushed in to attack her. The first move was made by the chicken as it charged towards Rukia while carrying a fork and knife in its hands. Rukia simply made quick haste to the doll by slicing off the head and arms. Her attack enraged the bear and bunny as they went in to fight her as a tag team, only for Rukia to freeze them with her volt weapon's power.
"I'm impressed with your skills, snow girl." Kurome said as she appeared behind Rukia with her volt weapon in her hands. Her choice of a volt weapon was a katana with a red cross tsuba with a black hilt. On it has the name of her weapon etched on the white stripe on both sides of the hilt with a red tip on the bottom of the hilt. "You're very agile for a young woman."
"Thanks for the compliment," Rukia replied while she held her sword tightly, "I'm assuming that sword of yours is the reason those dolls are moving on their own."
"That's right." Kurome answered as she held out her weapon to Rukia. "Yatsufusa is the name of my weapon. With it, I can turn any inanimate object I see or want into my own personal toy. Empress Esdeath got me these dolls and stuffed animals so that I can play and hone my skills."
"I can see that." Rukia answered.
"Heh, since my dolls love you, I'll give them a chance to fight you again, only this time it's fight until you drop." Kurome said as she raised her volt weapon up over her as it began glowing a dark red aura causing her dolls to reform themselves until they were whole. Rukia sighed in disgust as Kurome's dolls stood in front of her with their 'musical weapons' in hand and an army of killer dolls beside them.
"Oy… Where Riruka when you need her?" Rukia muttered as Kurome's dolls immediately charged towards her.
Elsewhere, Satellizer and Nel are both out back. Nothing but trees all around the moon lit area as the two Pandoras traveled deeper into the darkened forest. As the two progressed, slashes made of pink and yellow lights were falling down on them. Satellizer and Nel suddenly caught on to what's about to happen and deflects them all with her Lanzador Verde.
"Thanks for the save, Nel." Satellizer answered.
"You're welcome." Nel replied as she looked around, catching their presences until she turned to her top left. Both Raynare and Kalawarner looked down at the two girls with their choice of volt weapons; Raynare has a light violet double edged spear with a pink hue emanating off the edges of the blades. Kalawarner has a golden double edged spear; though it's sharp, one side was jagged.
"So, you're friends with that Samayou kid, huh?" Raynare rhetorically asked. "I never expected a powerful man like him to have such friends like you and don't take advantage of his essence."
"I think they're too scared to handle someone like Seishin." Kalawarner joined in with a smirk on her face as she placed her left hand on her hip. "I can tell just by looking at him that he's very strong. If Empress Esdeath didn't pick him first, I would like to give the boy a good time."
"I highly doubt he would go with such harlots like you two." Satellizer rebuked causing the girls to cease smirking.
"Do you even know who you're talking to?" Raynare asked with seriousness in her voice.
"No, and we don't even care." Nel calmly rebuked making the two fallen angels' faces squint in anger. "Whether you're with Esdeath or not, you're an enemy and enemies must be dealt with."
Raynare's grip on her weapon tightened for a second, then she along with Kalawarner charged towards Nel and Satellizer. The four clashed and sparks of many colors were made all around the forest. Just within that very second, Satellizer performed a Double Acceleration to surprise Kalawarner and succeeded with a downward slash against her, sending her flying back first into the ground.
"Kala!" Raynare growled as she turned and glared to Satellizer who simply glared back for a second. As Raynare charged towards Satellizer with her lightstaff in hand until Nel appeared and clashed blades with Esdeath's commander.
"Your fight is with me, not with her." Nel said as she immediately pushed her back with immense strength. The green haired Espada charged towards Raynare as quick as she can and swung her lance upward in an attempt to strike Raynare, but the Jaeger's commander immediately parried the lance away and tries to impale her staff through Nel's chest; only for her to use her Accel turn and smacked her from behind into a tree.
Kalawarner quickly got back up and charged towards Satellizer and the two clashed. Each of their moves were evenly matched without any sign of slowing down. After one more clash, the two stood their ground.
"I admit, you are indeed strong for a Junior, Untouchable Queen." Kalawarner said as she prepared herself. "But... it's not gonna be enough to take me down."
"We'll see about that..." Satellizer said as she gripped her Nova Blood tightly. "It's time I don't hold back; let me show you what I learned from my training with Seishin."
Elsewhere, Yoruichi was fighting against Candice on the rooftop. Candice's choice of volt weapons was a pair of white gloves, matching ankle length boots with the lightning bolt marks on it and wings made of Lightning which she calls it "The Thunderbolt;" giving her the power to manipulate and launch strong bolts of electricity. However due to Yoruichi's immense speed from her Shunko armor and her Accel Turns, makes her evasions against strong attacks simple easy. Seeing that happen, made the Thunder Queen pissed off.
"You insufferable bitch! Why can't I hit you?!" Candice cried while she balled her fists and slammed them on her sides.
"Aw, what's the matter Queenie?" Yoruichi teased her while she has her arms crossed under her large assets. "I'm not even warmed up and yet you can't even hit me. I must say, your skills are getting very sloppy."
Candice growled at Yoruichi's response. Her teeth were gritted and sparks of electricity were emanating around her hands and arms, Yoruichi chuckled calmly at the look Candice made.
"Geez, girls today are all talk and no muscle." Yoruichi continued. "They say they're tough, but don't show it. Honestly, I feel rather embarrassed for facing an opponent who talks the talk, but doesn't have the bite to go with the bark."
"Damn...! I won't take this coming from someone like you!" Candice growled menacingly like a rabid cat at Yoruichi's remark. She then resorted to using one of her special attacks; she raised her hand out in front of her and used her electricity to manifest a lightning bow. She pulled her other arm back as she aimed at the Flash Goddess. "Let's see how well can you dodge this? This attack has the power of a five gigajoule lightning bolt, more than enough to blast you to dust! Galvano Blast!"
As Candice released her bow, a barrage of arrows shaped like lightning bolts were launched like missles flying in supersonic speed. That attack did surprise Yoruichi a little, but it's nothing she couldn't handle. She jumped into the air and vanished seconds before Candice's attacks hit the area. Candice smirked thinking that her attacks had hit her, until she heard a sigh coming from behind her. She turned only to see Yoruichi unscathed.
Is that all?" Yoruichi scoffed.
Candice growled while she tightened her fists in a fit of rage. Seeing how Yoruichi's speed out classed her abilities, she decided to do the next best thing..."Why you... Galvano Javelin!"
Candice manifested a javelin of lightning and immediately threw it towards Yoruichi with immense speed. Yoruichi smirked and sighed as she used her Accel Turn, only for Candice to reappear behind her using her Lightning Jump. Yoruichi was surprised at what had just happened and before she could react, another of her Galvano Javelins were formed and thrown at close range, hitting Yoruichi and an explosion the size of a tree was made. Candice smirked as she watched the explosion, thinking Yoruichi was dead.
"How did you evade my attacks?!" Candice cried. "There's no way you could evade it with your Accel Turn, I would have sensed it on the spot!"
"Then you should've paid close attention." Yoruichi chuckled. "What I did wasn't an Accel of any kind. it was Shunretsugeki. It allowed me to evade your attacks in supersonic speed. Now it's my turn... Tempest Turn!"
Yoruichi knee'd Candice in the chin, lifting her into the air for just a second, only for the green haired girl to recieve a barrage of rapid punches all around her that Yoruichi calls Musō Renbu. Yoruichi's punches lasted about thirty seconds, until she landed the final blow on her chest, sending her flying into the forest, nearly five feet away from the manor.
"D-Damn... her...!" Candice growled as she struggled to get back up. "I... am not... done y-yet...!" Candice struggled to get back up, but the beatings she got taxed her severely and with that she passed out.
"Oops... I think I overdid it, a little." Yoruichi said while brushing the back of her head while chuckling sheepishly, feeling embarrassed of herself a little. "I better go find the others. They should be done with their matches by now."
Meanwhile in the backyard maze, the Tibetan Pandora was struggling a little against the Bomb Making Pandora named Bambietta. Her Volt Weapons was simply silver gloves on her hands, which she calls, "The Explode;" she held her right hand out revealing star shape marks in the middle. With a sadistic smirk, she channeled her energy through from her stigmata into her hands, then with a wave of her hands, she releases a barrage of ten energy balls; each with the blast force of ten cannonballs. Rana used her Accel Turn to evade most of her attacks.
"What's the matter, girly-girl?" Bambietta said with a smug smirk on her face while launching her barrage of energy balls she calls "Bomber Shells" towards her enemy. "You said that I was a fun opponent... I guess I am too much to handle after all. Although... I'm having a blast!"
"Bambietta's pretty skilled with her Volt Weapon... I have to find a way to get in close!" Rana thought while evading each of her attacks. She continued pondering until she scanned the area closely, looking for an opening. Just then she encountered a small opening in Bambietta's barrage.
"Got you!" Rana immediately used her fastest Accel Turn and emerged beneath Bambietta, surprising her. With her speed, Rana immediately landed a barrage of punches on the Bomb Maker, just like her sparring match against Yoruichi. After one final kick on her left temple, Rana sent Bambietta flying through seven walls of bushes until she landed; head first into the ground.
Rana was breathing heavily while watch what's going on, until Bambietta slowly began to get back up like nothing happened. She brushed the dirt off her uniform and wiped the blood off the side of her head. Rana stood her ground and prepared for what may happen next.
"I guess I underestimated you, Little Tibetan..." Bambietta admitted. "You really know when to pull your punches and when not to. Now, I won't have to hold back."
Rana was surprised when Bambietta was holding back all this time; Bambietta immediately used her Tempest Turn which made five copies of herself as she charged towards Rana with immense speed. As she got close to her, she connected a heavy punch to Rana's stomach. She smirked as she followed up with a barrage of punches that were just as fast as her bomb barrage and finished it off with a cobra strike at her chest, sending her through five walls of bushes until she landed; back first onto the ground.
Rana slowly rose back up, only to see Bambietta preparing her attack. She held out her hands and two orbs of light, slightly bigger than her hands were formed. She smirked as she finished charging her attack.
"Good luck blocking this one... Bakugeki (Bombing Raid) !" Bambietta raised her hands into the air and fired her attack. Multiple bombshell orbs of energy were shot three feet into the sky, only for them to return down towards the young Tibetan with double the speed. The second the first few landed around her, they began to explode. Rana immediately dashed towards her hoping she'll make another hit within the opening, only for Bambietta to lower her right arm down and prepares to fire one of her Bombs. Knowing she will take some damage, Rana went through with her attack. She cocked her fist back and just as Bambietta fires one of her bombs, Rana clashed it with her fist with equal force, causing the bomb Bambietta fired to explode. The bomb maker covered her eyes from the smoke, only for Rana to appear behind her.
"By the way, do you know when to plan a counter attack?" Rana asked while smirking, surprising Bambietta. "...It's after surviving your opponent's attack!"
Rana landed a heavy punch into the bomb maker's stomach sending her flying towards the trees. Before she could get time to recover, Rana charges in while using her Holy Gates. The young Tibetan immediately entered her Tempest Turn; creating three copies of herself and spun around Bambietta, confusing her until she charged in and began beating her like a rag doll. After her ten second barrage, she then reappeared in front of her with her fist in front of her stomach.
"Burning Fang!" Rana cried as she releases a torrent of thermal powered energy through her, crushes her ribs and damaged her organs. Bambietta cough out some blood as she struggled to stand while glaring at Rana.
"Damn..." Bambietta muttered as she fell back and passed out.
"Sorry... but you brought this to yourself." Rana stood back up using will power alone. She turned and started walking out. "It's been fun, Bambietta..." She said while she deactivated her volt weapons.
Elsewhere, Tia and Akame's fight went into full swing with the two of them in their Pandora Modes. Halibel's Pandora was her Ressurrecion form; a bone-like collarbone with extensions that did little to hide her breasts, shark fin spaulders on her shoulders with protrusions on her back, and a thin spine like structure that ran down her stomach. She also wore a miniskirt made of bones and knee high boots. Akame's Pandora Mode made her scleras turn black and her pupils glowing red. Red tribal markings appear around her body and a dark gastly aura enveloped her and her volt weapon. The two clashed all across the poolside. Sparks of yellow and red were made all around as the two were fighting while using their Double Accel Turns. After one immense clash, Tia and Akame were merely a few feet from each other; their uniforms slightly ripped, little scars were shown and sweat was formed on their eyebrows.
"I underestimated you, Halibel..." Akame said while staring at her with her cold eyes. "Your skills are rather remarkable, for someone wielding a big sword.
"Likewise with your skills, Akame." Tia replied. "Your Volt Weapon is rather strong; ...Murasame, am I right?"
"Yes;" Akame said as she looked at her Volt Weapon. Her weapon was a normal katana but with a red hilt, matching red prongs, and the name of the weapon written on a white stripe in katakana. "Murasame is strong, because of its ability to kill someone with one hit... The poison within the blade when it strikes an opponent seeps into its heart, killing them instantly. I do admit with each of those small scratches, I would think you would die from my attacks early on."
"It's going to take more than a little poison to kill me, Akame." Tia rebuked calmly while her eyes squinted at her. "These scratches don't mean anything to me. Once a shark finds its prey, it'll do everything to tear its prey up until it's consumed. You are my prey and for that... you shall fall, only then I shall help Seishin fight your leader."
Akame squinted her eyes as she readied herself; she entered another stance with her weapon at her side pointing at Tia. While the latter applies to Tia as well as she stood her ground while holding her weapon out to the side. The two exchanged looks before they charged towards each other.
"Here I go, Akame!" Tia said.
"Eliminate!" Akame coldly said as she and Tia entered another Tempest Turn. The two clashed in supersonic speed while being in their Pandora Modes. Sparks of gold and crimson struck all around the pool like fireworks on the Fourth of July. Tia and Akame fought relentlessly; matching blow for blow, wound for wound, Tia and Akame fought their best. The Shark Empress knows Akame is strong, but it's time Tia ends this fight. After the two came out of their Tempest Turns, Tia immediately slammed her with her peta sword sending Akame a few feet away. She then raised her volt weapon while pointing towards Akame; with a brief glow, a small portion of water the size of a disco ball enveloped the blade of her weapon.
"La Gota..." The first of her water bullets was launched towards Akame. She anticipated it and stepped to the side, evading the attack, but it was enough time for Tia to appear behind her preparing to fire another. The second attack was launched and Akame immediately tries to block it; although it was of no avail as Tia stood in front of Akame, with her blade pointing at her at close range, instead, it glowed a bright yellow aura.
"Ola Azul..." She quietly said as she launched an energy projectile at her, piercing through the water bullet and sending Akame flying into the closest pillar in her direction. Tia quietly turned around and was about to help Seishin against Esdeath until she felt a dark aroma coming from behind. She turned only to see Akame emerging from the rubble she crashed into.
"I'm not done yet..." Akame said as she stood on top of the rubble. Tia didn't say a word as she readied herself for another round with the Red Demon. The two charged with their weapons raised, ready to strike. They clashed against each other, matching them move for move. Within the clash, Tia quickly used her Trident attack to bring the clash to her favor. The attack wounded Akame around the shoulders, arms and a bit of her torso, which she then followed a swift kick to her right temple sending Akame a few feet away from the young Espada. Dazed; Akame tries to look up at Tia while gripping her weapon tightly, only to see the water in Esdeath's pool rise up into the sky.
"You are now... Cascada." Tia launched a surge of water at Akame. She tries to escape it, but the water was too big to escape and too strong to block. Akame was caught in the current as she was slammed hard into the nearest tree. The waterfall died down and all Tia sees was Akame's unconscious form. Tia sighed and was about to leave until she felt Akame's poison slowly affecting her. The Espada gasped for breath as she struggled to fight the poison's effects for a second.
"You fought well, Akame... I respect your loyalty to your leader, but in the end, it's going to take more than that to take me down, yet alone Seishin... " Tia thought as she slowly got back up and walked off. "Seishin, I am coming."
Meanwhile, Kaho along with Chiffon and Elizabeth arrived to the entrance of Esdeath's manor. As they opened up the gates, they noticed Kaho being fatiqued. The two third years then picked the young first year up and laid her by the gate walls.
"Kaho, you should rest here." Elizabeth said while she wiped her head with a hankerchief. "You did your part; Chiffon and I will take it from here."
"W-What about... K-Kazuya?" Kaho asked them.
"You can leave that to me..." Chiffon said as she patted her head. "Don't worry, Kazuya will be fine... as for Seishin, he already won his fight against Esdeath. Stay put and we'll be right back."
Kaho nodded and watched as Elizabeth and Chiffon ran to the entrance, only to run into Tia and Yoruichi.
"Tia, Yoruichi!" Elizabeth called them. "Are you two alright?"
"We're alright." Yoruichi replied. "We're just about to get find Rukia, Rana, Satellizer and Nel. I'm sure they had finished their fights by now."
Just then, Rana arrived in time to see them. She was brused up from her fight with Bambietta, but she shrugged it off with just her will alone; despite the number of times she almost fell to the floor.
"Rana, you're hurt!" Tia said as she helped her up.
"I'll manage, anything to save my beloved." Rana answered. Tia was rather impressed at her sacrifice; she noticed that Rana's risking everything just to save her friend. A small smile was made on her face as she closed her eyes.
"You have my respect, Rana." Tia replied, then she turned to the others. "We're going to split up; Yoruichi, you go find Nel and Satellizer, I'll go find Rukia and Rana, go with Chiffon and Elizabeth and get Kazuya out safely."
"Alright!" Everyone agreed as they all split up, just like Tia said.
Back in Kurome's toy room, Rukia's fight against Kurome has proven to be anything but easy. She took so much beatings from her dolls' attacks that she may pass out any second; she was breathing hard while struggling to keep standing, but her will to win kept her from passing out. Kurome smirked as she watched her opponent enduring so much pain from the beatings she got.
"I'll admit, you're pretty strong for a petite woman like yourself." Kurome admitted. "You should've died from all those beatings I gave you, but you held on... You even froze more than half of my toys!"
Rukia continued glaring at her opponent while gasping for breath. Her uniform was mostly ripped; her skirt was torn; nearly explosing her panties, her shirt was ripped as it showed hald her bra and minor scars were shown on her arms, legs and face.
"This is fun! That means we can continue even longer!" Kurome continued cheered when she clapped her hands. "I'm looking forward to seeing you fall to me and my toys soon enough!"
"Sorry... but I am going to end this, Kurome..." Rukia muttered aloud which made Kurome stop for a second as she watched her with her hair covering her closed eyes a faint white hue emmitting around her body and a cold chill was blown from all around.
"Wh-What's going on? Where is this cold air coming from." Kurome asked as she watched her remaining dolls getting frostbite. She gasped as she watched her very toys turning into ice.
"I haven't mastered this, but I'll end this quick... Now, PANDORA MODE!" Rukia's eyes began glowing white before she was enveloped by a white mist veil. Kurome covered her eyes while enduring the harsh cold Rukia's giving out. After a few seconds, Rukia emerged but with a whole new look. Her hair was white as snow; she wore a white, ankle-length kimono with lined patterns. The robe has an attached ornate collar, edges, and shoulder design with long, wide sleeves. There are long, flowing ribbons tied at her back that form numerous large loops. She has a small ice flower formation at the center of her chest, and a half crown of ice which extends around the back of her head.
"Wha... What's that..." Kurome asked nervously.
"Hakka... no Togame..." Rukia replied as she opened her eyes and in an instant, the remains of Kurome's dolls were frozen solid. The Puppet Master was shocked that Rukia possessed that much power and was able to overwhelm her. Kurome was scared of Rukia's power and tries to run, but Rukia's Ice Rope Connection trapped her like a rat. The Ice Princess reappeared in front of her using one last Accel Turn and delivered a swift but heavy punch to her stomach. Kurome took one last look at her opponent before she fell and passed out.
Rukia then began to return to normal one bit at a time. It wasn't long until Tia arrived to see Rukia on her knees, panting heavilly while regaining her body heat.
"Rukia! Are you alright?"" Tia cried as she ran to help her up. She then turned to see her opponent passed out on the ground and every single toy Kurome has was frozen and shattered to pieces. "What happened?"
"I'll tell you more about it, later... Right now, we have to find the others." Rukia panted as she and Rukia went for the door.
"Right now, Yoruichi is heading for Nel and Satellizer while Elizabeth, Rana and Chiffon are getting Kazuya out." Tia replied. "We'll meet up afterwards."
As Tia and Rukia left to reunite with Rana, Chiffon and Elizabeth, the battle between Nel and Satellizer against Raynare and Kalawarner is getting more intense. The four were fighting their best until they landed back at their respected spots; gasping for breath. Their uniforms were messed up pretty bad, from semi-torn tops to ripped skirts, revealing a hefty amount of upper and lower cleavage. But all that matters to Satellizer and nel is that they must win at all costs.
"Those two are rather strong;" Kalawarner said to Raynare. "It's surprising they could fight us this long and haven't passed out."
"It seems that their bond with Seishin is the reason that they're hanging on." Raynare answered while glaring at the two girls... until she thought of an idea as a wry smirk was worn on her face. They then turned back to the two facing them.
"Nel, be ready..." Satellizer said.
"It's time we end what little chances you have for defeating us..." Kalawarner said with a smug smirk.
"Let's..." Raynare added, wearing a wry smirk on her face.
"PANDORA MODE!" Both Raynare and Kalawarner were enveloped in a bright white glow. Nel and Satellizer held their ground as they stared back at their opponents. After a few seconds had passed, both Kalawarner and Raynare are in their Pandora Modes. Raynare wore a black leather bra that did little to hide her endowed breasts, her matching leather thong-like piece while supporting her hips by three thin straps, gloves that ran up her arms with small chains on them and spiked shoulder guards on her shoulders. Her black angel wings were stretched out in its glory.
Kalawarner's Pandora Mode is somewhat similar; she wore a leather bra was her size but appeared smaller to make her breasts a little bigger. Along with the black leather gloves that ran up to her upper arms(without the shoulder guards), she also wore a leather thong with two thin straps under her long skirt with a split on the side that reveals her right leg. Lastly her wings are stretched out along side her partner.
Both Nel and Satellizer were blushing very hard at their Pandora modes as they were very much revealable, but they had to immediately had to brush their blushes aside so they can focus on defeating the Fallen Angels.
"I take it that you're impressed at our new appearances..." Raynare asked while smirking
"If by impressed you mean mortified, then yeah." Satellizer replied as it made Raynare's smirk turn to a growling scowl, "and I thought Miyabi was slutty, but you two have taken it way too far."
"No matter, thanks to our combined powers, it will be enough to take you two down." Kalawarner said as she manifested two of her spears and Raynare with her double sided spear.
"Let's do this, Nel!" Satellizer cried as she began glowing which surprised Nel, Raynare and Kalawarner. "It's time we end this right here, right now!"
"Right!" Nel replied as she tossed her volt weapon up in the air.
"Pandora Mode... Activate!" Satellizer and Nel were both enveloped in a white light even brighter than Raynare and Kalawarner's. After a few seconds, both Nel and Satellizer are in their Pandora Modes.
Satellizer's hair turned white, her eyes turned golden yellow and her body glowed with a white light with blue rings formed around the wrists and ankles. Lastly a white aura enveloped her as her hair and clothes were caught in the light updraft. Nel's Pandora Mode is unique instead of her body enveloped in a white aura or covered in armor, Nel emerged in her Ressureccion in the form of a brownish-green centaur. She has on white elbow guards, gauntlets, and gloves on both her arms and her hollow mask was formed on her head.
"Whoa..." Satellizer gasped.
"Hop on!" Nel said as she got on Nel's back and the two began charging towards the two angels.
Raynare and Kalawarner immediately charged in with their Accel Turns but seconds before their attacks meet, Satellizer and Nel immediately jumped into an Double Accel. Raynare and Kalawarner stopped to see blurs of green and blue swarm around them. The two then unleashed waves of violet and gold at the green and blue blurs.
"Now Nel!" Satellizer cried.
"TEMPEST TURN!" The two entered their Tempest Turns seconds before the two waves hit them. Satellizer and Nel were able to make four copies of themselves and with their combined strength and speed, the two overwhelmed Raynare and Kalawarner. Satellizer attacked them with her Nova Strike and Nel with her Lanzador Verde; the two struck them from behind, sending them flying ten feet through trees into a large boulder, immediately knocking them out.
Nel and Satellizer watched where the two angels landed while they deactivated their Pandora Modes.
"That went well..." Nel said as she turned to Satellizer.
"Yeah," Satellizer replied as she took a deep breath to recollect herself. "Come on, let's go find Seishin."
Just as the two girls were about to leave, Yoruichi arrived just in time.
"It seems you got things under control." Yoruichi said with a smirk while crossing her arms.
"We did." Nel answered cheerfully.
"How's Seishin?" Satellizer asked.
"I haven't checked on him," Yoruichi replied. "Tia should be picking up Rukia and Elizabeth with Chiffon and Rana are getting Kazuya. Come on, we better hurry."
"Right!" Nel and Satellizer agreed.
Back inside the manor, Seishin's fight against Esdeath continued; The two continued without any sign of slowing down. After another clash, they jumped back; preparing their next attacks.
"Hagelsprung!" Esdeath summons a giant pillar from the tip of her sword with a forward swing of her sword, she threw the pillar towards him.
"Sen Taiyou!" Seishin cried as he unleashed a high density beam of fire at the same time Esdeath used her Hagelsprung. The two immediately clash creating an explosion of steam that covered the entire room like a thick fog. While he was covering his eyes from the steam, Esdeath took this to her advantage and hid in the fog. Seishin looked around as things grew quiet and Esdeath was nowhere to be seen.
Before he could react, a deep slash was made on Seishin's chest. He cringed from the pain that her volt weapon have inflicted. Just then, he spotted her next attempt and successfully blocked it, only for Esdeath to leave a gash on his back' almost hitting his stigmata. He continued looking around for her to show until he decided to stop and let his ears be his eyes. He closed his eyes and listened to everything that's in the room; he then heard Esdeath from behind as she was coming out of her Accel Turn in an attempt to incapitate Seishin. Before Esdeath could connect her move, Seishin immediately parried her attack and successfully made a downward slash across her chest down to her stomach. Esdeath cringed in pain from the feel of a sword slashing one's skin, but she smirked all the same as she enjoyed her fight against the male Pandora.
"This is amazing, Samayou..." Esdeath said while gripping her sword tightly in her hand. "I already knew you won't be so easy to kill. Through the days I've been here, I never met an worthy adversary... until now."
"Same to me as well." Seishin replied with a smirk on her face. "I faced a number of rivals, but you are rather different. Still and enemy's an enemy and I will stop you!"
"Well then, come and try... but I doubt you'll ever defeat me." Esdeath rebuked as she charged towards him. Seishin did the same and the two clashed once more as fire and ice both enveloped the room. Kazuya watched the whole thing and was amazed.
"They're fighting so hard out there, like gods clashing against each other, trying to see who's stronger." Kazuya thought until the doors beside him open up, only to see Chiffon, Rana and Elizabeth peeking in.
"Girls, you came." Kazuya whispered.
"Kazuya! Thank Kunlun you're alright!" Rana jumped into Kazuya and pinned him to the ground, hugging him.
"Is that Seishin?" Elizabeth said as she watched the two fighting. "Wow, he's really good."
"I'm impressed he's holding his own against Esdeath." Chiffon said. "I hope he could defeat her."
Just then, Tia, Rukia Satellizer, Yoruichi and Nel arrived into the manor while carrying their unconscious opponents.
"Seishin! We're back and we got Kazuya, so now you don't have to hold back anymore!" Yoruichi cried.
Seishin smirked when he heard what Yoruichi said while his eye shifted to Kazuya with the girls. He then returned his attention back to Esdeath.
"Alright, Esdeath... time I change the outcome of this battle." Seishin said as he slowly began to push Esdeath back, however he was surprised to see her smirking maliciously.
"Yeah, but it shall be me that will change this!" Esdeath used her power to push Seishin away and then with a swing of her sword, she used her ice powers to encase the floor and the doorway in ice and a cold chillling air covered the area and "Seishin Samayou..." Esdeath said as she slowly looked up at Seishin and the others. "I am impressed that your team bested mine... It shows that my team are useless to me now. No matter, I will crush you myself without the help of those weaklings slowing me down."
"Do you even hear yourself, Esdeath!" Seishin rebuked making her scowl; he then pointed to the unconscious forms of the members of the Jaegars. "You called your own team; the team you formed, weak? I feel sorry for the girls who worked alongside you. They're strong, very strong in my book. Honestly, they don't deserve a leader who discards them because they lost a fight. A true leader trusts and cares for his or her team despite their strengths and weaknesses.
Seishin used his Sen Taiyou once more to blow the frozen doorway open. He then de-activated his Volt Weapon and turned away towards his team. Throughout the speech he made, the only person who overheard it a little was Akame. She was surprised to see someone like Seishin who's sympathetic to those that fought his friends.
"I'm done with fighting you now, Esdeath Partas." Seishin continued without looking back at her. "I don't deserve to fight against stuck-up opponents who care only about themselves. To me, the person who's weak... was you all along."
Silence loomed the entire room as Seishin started walking towards his group as they all were about to leave. A light blueish aura enveloped Esdeath; who's hat covered her cold eyes.
"I will never let you leave... Seishin Samayou." Esdeath muttered aloud as it made Seishin stop as he felt a chilling power rising from her. "Those words mean nothing to me; the weak must be punished and since you wish to protect the weak; even if that includes my former teammates, then I shall end you before you have the chance. Now, it's time I show you MY TRUE STRENGTH! Activate PANDORA MODE!"
(Now Playing Power to Strive)
Seishin and the others watched as Esdeath was enveloped in a bright aura with the cold air howling and swirling around her as it went faster and faster. Within a few seconds an explosive burst of cold fog was made and a figure was standing in the middle. Esdeath emerged wearing a ice-white battle armor that's just as similar as Ingrid's but her hands were claws and parts of her gauntlets, chest armor and the helmet are jagged, making her appear like the abomitable snowman. She raised her head up and glared at Seishin through the ice blue visor on her helmet. An grim chuckle was then made.
"This Pandora Mode is a special one I've created." Esdeath began explaining. "It enhances my ice powers ten fold. Not even your Ice Princess and Water Queen there can last a second against my power.
"Let's play, Seishin Samayou." Esdeath said with venom in her voice as she took one step and immediately entered her Triple Acceleration; vanishing out of sight before reappearing in front of him, attempting to grab him.
"Everyone move!" He cried out to the others. They immediately moved from the door, but Seishin wasn't able to evade it in time as Esdeath's ice cold hand smashed his face. The impact sent him flying through the doors to the front yard. Esdeath stood in front of him as he began to get back up.
"Come on, Seishin! Get back up so I can knock you back down!" Esdeath re-materialized her volt weapon; her rapier has a jagged ice hilt to match her Pandora Mode while enveloped in the ice blue aura. Seishin didn't answer as he slowly got back up; he noticed Satellizer raring to fight Esdeath.
"Everyone, stand down." Seishin said while he never took his sight away from Esdeath. "I'll handle this..."
Satellizer heeded his words and stayed with the others as they all stood back. Elizabeth and Chiffon watched as Seishin stood back up despite the physical and spiritual wear and tear. He took a couple of breaths to regain his composure. Elizabeth remembered hearing the students' rumors of Seishin's fight against Ingrid and the new power he used against her.
"Seishin, why don't you use that power you have when you fought Ingrid?" Satellizer asked him which piqued Esdeath's attention.
"You're holding back, Samayou?" Esdeath asked while clenching her fingers and then she immediately charged towards Seishin with intense speed. The two clashed with everything they got. "You have another power that you're trying to hide and you don't even want to show it? I think you are the weak one for holding back that power."
Seishin remembered the time Kisuke talked with him in his classroom during the month timeskip. He showed the young man the recording on his whiteboard of his fight against Ingrid and the Hollowfication ability he used.
...
"Seishin, I am impressed at your ability to hollowfy." Kisuke said as he sat beside him. "That power did increase your strength to new heights, more than what Pandora Mode has."
"I'm glad to hear, Kisuke." Seishin replied as he looked at the recording. Kisuke was rather surprised he didn't smile at what happened. "Although, when I fought against Ingrid with that power, I can feel that I able to hold it for about seven seconds."
"It appears that you're right." Kisuke said as he looked at Seishin's charts on his tablet. "Your hollow powers are strong, but short lasting."
"If I was in my shinigami state I would be able to summon my mask and keep it on for as long as I want." Seishin sighed with a scowl while he tightened his fists. Kisuke patted his back to cheer him up a little.
"If you plan to use it again, then I won't stop you." Kisuke suggested as he turned off the recording. "I have faith you can do this, Seishin. Ichigo, myself and the others had seen you turn your disadvantages against your enemies. I'm sure you can handle it, kid."
Seishin turned to Kisuke who was smiling at him calmly while he patted his head. He grinned and chuckled as that regained his cheerful attitude.
"You're right. Thanks, Kisuke." Seishin replied.
...
As he stopped reflecting on his past, he and Esdeath broke off their clash, but not before Seishin charged towards her with a Tempest Turn. Four duplicates of himself immediately swirled around Esdeath before they charged in at all sides. Esdeath smirked as she anticipated his Tempest Turn as she used her Weissschnabel to pierce him at all directions. Seishin immediately spotted her counter attack and dodged most of them; only a few managed to leave minor cuts on him.
"Show me your power, Seishin!" Esdeath cried as she made a downward strike towards his chest. He immediately dodged it be jumping back, only for Esdeath to use her Grau Horn to pierce him. Seishin spotted the pillar and managed to evade it... barely as the pillar flew a few inches from his chest. Esdeath used her No-Interval Double Accel to reappear on top of him and with a swift downward kick, she sent Seishin falling down to the ground, leaving a crater in its place. Esdeath landed in front of the crater while staring at his unconscious body.
(Song ends and plays CLU from Tron Legacy)
"Seishin Samayou, you disgust me..." Esdeath said as she turned her sights towards the others. "If you can show me your power, then I shall attack your friends to make it happen."
"You will have to go through me to get to them!" Satellizer cried as she entered Pandora Mode once more and charged towards Esdeath using her double Accel. The second Satellizer appeared behind der, Esdeath immediately blocked her blade with her rapier. While Satellizer's fight continued, Seishin then heard his inner hollow's voice calling out to him faintly and his astral form reappeared beside Seishin.
"If you need a hand in the battle, I'll be happy to lend you my strength once more, kid..." He said with a smile as he placed his hand on his back and a faint white and red glow emmitted and merged his powers with him once more.
As Satellizer's fight continues, she recieved a swift but deep cut appeared across her chest from her stomach from Esdeath. She endured it for a few seconds and continued fighting on, despite her disadvantage in strength.
"Give it up, Untouchable Queen..." Esdeath said as she effortlessly parried each of Satellizer's attacks. "You may be strong; just as I heard from the others, but against me, your attacks won't do a thing to me!"
"We'll just see!" Satellizer rebuked when Esdeath pushed her away and used her Weissschnabel against watched as Satellizer blocks each of them with her volt weapon and her Accel Turns. Esdeath smirked while closing her eyes for a second until she opened her eyes while holding her hands parallel to each other with her thumbs pressed.
"Mahapadma..." A blue aura then enveloped her for a brief second until everything around her stood still like time has completely stopped. As she opened her eyes, she saw Satellizer in front of her, charging towards her. She slowly walked towards Satellizer with her rapier tightly in her hands; her sadistic gaze in her glowing eyes gleamed as she stared at the helpless Pandora stuck in time.
Kazuya struggled to break free of Esdeath's ability as he helplessly watched Esdeath successfully stab Satellizer through her stomach. The Ice Queen snapped her fingers and time resumed as she watched Satellizer screaming in pain from the stab wound. As Esdeath was about to make the final move, Kazuya immediately used his semi-mastered Freezing ability causing Esdeath to stop in her tracks.
"I won't let you hurt my friends!" Kazuya growled as he tries to keep Esdeath contained in his Freezing field.
"I'm impressed that your Freezing field could stop me; I've underestimated you Kazuya." Esdeath said calmly, "However that power alone won't stop me and I'll make sure ot it! Weissschnabel!"
Dozens of icicles appeared around Esdeath; targeting, Kazuya, Satellizer, and the others if they get in her way. Despite the pain in her stomach, Satellizer struggles to look up at Esdeath who noticed her looking back down at her injured foe beneath her.
"Heh, any last words before I end you and your friends and take your crown?" Esdeath smirked grimly down at Satellizer as she raised her hand, preparing to unleash her final move.
(Song interupts)
"Hono Ryūjin!" Before anything happened in a blink of an eye, a voice was heard and Esdeath was caught in a flaming dragon as it flew to the nearest column and crashed upon impact. The icicles aimed around them were melted by the attack's heat.
Esdeath broke out of the rubble after a few seconds and was surprised to see Seishin standing on his feet. His jacket has several tears and the right sleeve was completely ripped off. His pants has some dirt and blood stains. Despite the minor scars, interal fractures, and streams of blood running down his head, Seishin stared at the Ice Armored Pandora before him.
"Esdeath... you want to see my full power, then fine I won't hold it back." Seishin said calmly as he took a deep breath as he spreaded his legs out, twisted his side a little and raised his left hand in front of his face.
"It's about time you do so." Esdeath stood back up and shrugged off the dust off her Pandora Mode. "Let us see who's stronger: You... or me."
"Trust me, Esdeath... I'll end this, in an instant." Seishin's cold eyes glared at her through his fingers. "Now, Volt Texture... Hollowfication."
(Now playing Turn The Tables (Breakbear Remix))
Seishin was enveloped in a dark crimson blaze, swirling around him like a wildfire. Esdeath and the others all watched as the flames spun faster and faster for a few seconds until Seishin opened his eyes and the flames dispursed revealing his white dragon hollow mask with the red lines around the eyes, snout and jawline. Through his mask shows his black and glowing red scleras. A calm growl was heard from him while he shifted his eyes to Kazuya and the girls and then to Satellizer.
"Hollow... I knew it was you who helped me. Thank you once again..." Seishin thought as he returned his sight back to Esdeath.
"So that's your full power?" Esdeath rhetorically asked. "Don't make me-" Before Esdeath could finish speaking, Seishin immediately used his Accel turn while he scooped up Satellizer and landed a swift but powerful kick at her right temple. The kick sent her flying through seven trees from the left side of the front yard. He then reappeared in front of the others while laying Satellizer down gently.
"S-Seishin..." Satellizer looked up at Seishin while he gently laid her on her stomach.
"Stay still..." Seishin said as he ripped the back of her dress and gently placed his hand on her back where her stigmata are at. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Ereinbar Wave..." The stigmata on his right arm and back began to glow and released a small freezing area of his own for a few seconds before it faded. Satellizer felt the flow of his energy in her as her stigmata began to glow and her wounds immediately heal up in seconds.
Everyone was amazed at his new power while Satellizer immediately got back up. She was surprised that her wounds were gone.
"That power..." Satellizer said as Seishin immediately paused her.
"Hold that thought... Esdeath's not done yet." Seishin said calmly as he turned around to see Esdeath charging towards him.
"Seishin..." Elizabeth called him as it got his attention. He slowly slid his mask to the side as he smiled at her and the others.
"You guys take a few steps back..." He said as he watched then move back until they're by the door. "That's good... You'll be safe there, I won't let any attack from Esdeath get to you..." He then used his Triple Acceleration and charged towards Esdeath until the two clashed leaving a large shock wave in its place.
The two in their Acceleraton Turns moved so fast that neither one can follow their movements. Sparks of ice and flame were made all over the front yard. Blow for blow, the two fought with even strength like never before, until Seishin began taking it up a notch once he headbutted Esdeath away.
"Accel-Tempest!" Seishin took an old trick from Ichigo as he went even faster than Esdeath that it left him afterimages of himself as he swarmed all around the Ice General.
"How is he that much faster than me!" Esdeath looked around frantically as she couldn't read his movements.
"What's the matter?" Seishin's echoing voice came from one of the afterimages before immediately switching to another, "Am I going too slow for the great Esdearh Partas? I thought you said we were evenly matched? Perhaps I should go a little faster. That might put me on your level."
"Don't you think you're the best of me! Weissschnabel!" Esdeath unleashed an barrage of Icicles and have them home in on Seishin due to her Pandora Mode's abilities. Seishin immediately spotted the icicles coming towards him and immediately flew off from them.
Chaining his Accel Turns and his manuverability, he quickly evaded each of her attacks; only to see several waves of Esdeath's Weissschnabel and multiple Grau Horns aiming for him. He then used his Double Acceleration to evade them and then jumped up into the sky while the waves of icicles rush towards him.
"It's over, Seishin!" Esdeath cried as she watched each of the icicles hit him. Kazuya and the others were shocked as they saw all the icicles supposibly hit him, only for Esdeath to be shocked as Seishin did his Tenburinjin and deflected every icicle Esdeath fired before he vanished.
"Is that all you got, Esdeath!" Seishin said as he reappeared behinf her as he prepares to strike her from behind. Just then, Esdeath did the same hand styles when she fought Satellizer as a blue aura enveloped her.
"Mahapadma!" Esdeath immediately made time and everything around her freeze. She turned to see Seishin's blade inches from her neck.
"Seishin Samayou... you exceeded my expectations in strength and power." Esdeath said as she chuckled calmly while manifesting a sword made of ice in her left hand. "But now... it's time to end this battle! But don't worry... you'll die know you have my utmost respect!"
(Now plays main chorus of Stand Up Be Strong)
Just as Esdeath successfully struck Seishin with the ice blade through his face, she was surprised that what she 'killed' was another after image. As Mahapadma's ability dies down, she then looked up as Seishin dived down, leaving a deep cut in the front of her armor and then he immediately gripped Esdeath's right arm. Esdeath was shocked that Seishin survived her strongest move and that he's in close range of making his move.
"A wise Pandora once said: 'The best way to plan a counter attack... is after survivingyour opponent's attack!" Seishin said as he made his battle roar while his power began skyrocketing than ever before and a set of eight dragon wings emerged from his back. His zanpaktou was enveloped in crimson flames, preparing for one final attack as he turned it so the hild was pointing at Esdeath.
"Damn you, Samayou!" Esdeath screamed as she tries to lay a punch on him but due to the gash along with the wear and tear in her armor, it was slow enough for Seishin to shift his head to the right and evaded it.
"This is the end, Esdeath Partas! Sen... TAAAIIIYYYOOOUUU!" With a powerful yell, Seishin successfully landed his strongest hit on Esdeath creating an blast with the force of a nuculear bomb, leaving a mushroom cloud two feet taller than Esdeath's Manor. Everyone all stood their ground and watched in awe at Seishin's massive power.
(Song ended)
Esdeath; who took the full blunt of his attack, laid on the ground; motionless with her eyes opened. Her Pandora Mode was completely destroyed, and her uniforms completely ripped off from the top down as it revealed her endowed chest.
Seishin; who stood beside his friends, looked at the beaten Esdeath. Elizabeth then walked up to Seishin and called out to him. He turned while he deactivated his power and looked at her calmly.
"Are you ok, Seishin?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He happily answered. "All that matters is that both you and Esdeath's Jaegers are alright."
"What about her..." Rukia asked refering to Esdeath. "What will we do with her?"
"I'll talk to her, you all just stay here." Seishin replied which shocked everyone.
"Are you crazy?" Chiffon asked worriedly. "What if she attacks you again?"
"I'll be fine, Chiffon. Trust me..." Seishin turned back to the smoked crater Esdeath is in and walked towards her. When he arrived, he looked at the almost naked Ice Queen before him.
"I... I never imagined... that I would be the one who lost... to someone as strong as you." Esdeath weakly spoke as she looked up at Seishin.
"Esdeath, if it makes you feel better, I'm not that strong." He answered which surprised her.
"Then how... How were you able to best me in battle?" She asked.
"I have people who you call 'weaklings' to give me strength." Seishin responded in a somewhat cold manner.
"Then I have no regards..." Esdeath calmly chuckled with her eyes closed. "Go ahead and finish me off, only then you'll have the title of 'Strongest Pandora.' Put me out of your misery, Seishin Samayou."
Seishin looked at Esdeath who closed her eyes and smiled as she was willing to die by his hands. He reflected on some of the times he was in the Soul Society as he fought some random rivals from different squads and spared them from causing any more bloodshed. He then took in what she said about Survival of the Fittest and how the weak must be punished. He knew that what he thinks of it; what her clan thinks is wrong. He knew it's more than being on top.
Thinking that she would be finished by Seishin, Esdeath then felt two hands and that she was being flipped over, revealing her nine stigmata. She opened her eyes and saw Seishin as he placed his hands over her stigmata.
"What are you doing?!" Esdeath cried. "I deserve to die by your hands. You deserve to be at the top of the status quo."
"No," He bluntly replied to her which surprised. "Killing someone of one's equal won't make anyone human... it would make them like cold-blooded monsters."
"Then my father's law on Survival of the Fittest?" She asked.
"Esdeath... There is more to life than just being the strongest." Esdeath was shocked at what Seishin said. " Hold still, Ereinbar Wave..."
Seishin closed his eyes as his stigmata glowed and a small freezing field stretched all around her back until it faded. Esdeath then felt the energy flowing as her wounds began healing until she was good as new. She then got up while Seishin walked back to his friends.
"Seishin... why didn't you finish me off while I wasn't moving?" She asked.
He stopped when she asked him that very question. Everyone all looked at the male Pandora as they await his response. He slowly turned back to Esdeath and to her surprise, she saw the brightest smile Seishin has for the very first time. "It's because killing good looking Pandoras is not my thing." Esdeath's heart skipped a beat, her blush intensified and her eyes widened at the very sight. But just then, Seishin slowly leaned down as he fell to the ground; slowly passing out. As he looked up, he saw one last glimpse of Esdeath, his friends and the some of the school staff rushing towards him before everything went black.
The next day came and Seishin slowly woke up and took in the new sights. As he shifted his eyes, he saw several 'Get Well Soon' cards, flowers and presents all around the bed. As he sat up himself in the mirror in front of him and saw that his chest, right leg and both his arms along with his forehead covered with bandages.
"I'm in the infirmary... But how did I get here?" He wondered until he heard the nurse tell some people to come see him. He saw Elizabeth, Satellizer, Rukia and his friends all walking in to see him.
"So you're finally awake, Seishin." Yoruichi rhetorically asked as she smirked at him.
"Seishin!" Rana and Nel ran to jump on his hospital bed and hugged him tightly. A blush was shown on his face despite his face turning blue.
"Thank Kunlun, you're alright!" Rana cried.
"We thought you have died in that fight!" Nel added as she hugged him tighter around his neck. "But I'm happy that you're alive!"
"You girls..." Seishin smiled once again at the girls as he stretched his arms after Nel and Rana freed him from their hug.
"Just don't scare us like that again, ya idiot..." Rukia said as Seishin chuckled calmly.
"I'll be careful. Thanks, Rukia." Seishin replied.
"Seishin..." Satellizer called him as she gave him a meal from Burger Queen. Seishin smiled as he kindly accepted it and started eating it a little. "I'm happy that you're alright." A small smile was shown on her face when she finished speaking with him.
"Thank you, Satella." He replied and then turned to the others. "What had happened and how long was I out?"
"You passed out out last night, right after you talked to Esdeath." Kazuya answered. "You were badly damaged from the fight."
"I see..." Seishin said while taking a bite out of his burger, then something came to mind after he remembered the fight. "How's Esdeath's Jaegers? Did they wind up like me or something?"
"The nurses checked them out earlier today in the other room. Despite the minor injuries; excluding Bambietta who is still healing up, the others are alright." Elizabeth answered. "I was with Ingrid and Chiffon that time when we were checking on them."
"I'm glad, thanks Elizabeth," He replied. Just then, another person walked into see him, he remembered that black hair and red eyes from before. Despite the bandages on herarms and right leg, she was able to walk pretty well.
"Seishin, am I right?" The girl asked.
"Yes, and I know who you are as well... Akame." Seishin replied.
"I heard of what you said about us and how much you showed sympathy for us, despite what we did..." Akame said. "On the Jaegers behalf, I would like to apologize for our actions... and to thank you for what you said."
Seishin knew that Esdeath was the one who ordered them to kidnap Kazuya to bring him and the others to her manor as a trap to fight them. However he knew that each one are pretty strong, especially against their fight against the Novas. He decided to just let the past be past and move on to the future.
"It's ok, Akame." He answered with a calm smile as he patted Akame's head. "I already knew you and the others were pretty strong, despite following your leaders orders. What had happened now is in the past; but instead of using your powers for your own purposes, help us with taking down the Novas. We'll need all the help we can get."
Akame smiled at Seishin, now seeing that there's another person other than her sister who cares for her. She calmly nodded as she agreed to what he said. Just then another person walked in. Everyone was surprised and moved out the way as they let the other person see Seishin. He was shocked to see that certain student as her blue eyes gazed down on his.
"Empress Esdeath!" Akame gasped as she moved out her way, only to recieve a gently pat on her head. Akame looked up at Esdeath with a surprised look of her own.
"I'm glad you and the others are alright." She calmly answered before she turned her attention back to Seishin.
"Seishin Samayou... The Wandering Spirit." Esdeath said as she looked at him. "Such a fitting name for a man like you."
"Eh... Thanks?" Seishin replied while tilting his head in confusion.
"I have been thinking over the things you said to me..." Esdeath explained. "About being a true leader and why you can't kill me. You were right. I've acted like a fool believing that weak should be beneath the strong, but after what I had seen in battle, I underestimated you and your team."
"Esdeath, you are a good leader and one HELL of a tough opponent." Seishin said while smiling happily which made her blush even more. "I never had someone like you an equal to me. There are moments when I would be thinking i would be at the end of my rope, but al least we gave it our all...
Esdeath haven't seen anyone like him admit that she's someone's equal in terms of strength. Her heart began racing after seeing his smile once more.
"That smile again...; he's the one..." Esdeath thought as she gazed at his warm smile.
"Esdeath, you're an amazing girl;" Seishin continued as he put his food to the side of his bed, "you may thing your powerful because of your own power, your power became so strong because of the bonds your have wih your team." Esdeath stood with her hair covering her eyes as she took in Seishin's words."So instead of being a ruthless leader who cares about power, why don't you and your team work with our juniors so they can be strong to handle the Novas."
"Seishin... I want to thank you... for giving me and my team a new chance." Esdeath said. "...and for that i have something for you."
"Aw, you don't have to give me anything-" Seishin said until he felt something wrapped around his neck. He opened his eyes to see a collar with a metal chain that stretches out to her hand; a shocked and worried look was shown on his face as he looked up at Esdeath who smiled down at him.
"From now on, you belong to me... my fire dragon..." Esdeath said as she held the chain in her hand.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Everyone cried.
"Seishin is my new love!" Esdeath stated while gripping on the chains accidentally pulling him over. "I don't want anyone else to claim him!"
"I won't allow someone like you to take my boy friend away!" Satellizer cried as she materialized her Nova Blood.
"He's not your boyfriend!" Yoruichi said as she materialized her Shunko.
"He's mine!" Everyone else cried as they materialized their volt weapons and charged at her.
"Come at me then!" Esdeath cried as she materialized her rapier in her other hand. "We'll see who's Seishin's one true soul mate!"
"Aw, come on! Can't we all just get along?!" Seishin cried as watched everyone began battling out in the infirmary. Esdeath evades each of their attacks while countering with her attacks, until she accidentally stepped on his crotch. Seishin felt the full sting of her heel on his manhood as his pained cry echoed all over the school.
