"But together we are the Emperor of Death" said Aiko and Aido. Looking at the monster in front of me, I was speechless. I didn't know what to do. Shikai was my strongest form already since I don't have a Bankai and it's only me and Yugana. What are we going to do? It's too risky to call a captain or anyone else, there has to be a way to defeat them.
"Stop overthinking the situation Haya, after all, I still have one last trick up my sleeve" grinned Yugana. She held up her Zanpukto and pointed it to the Emperor of Death.
"Bankai. Umi No Shirei-Kan, Sagi No Umi!" and her sword transformed into water.
"Ooo what's this?"asked Aido.
"The cause of your death!" yelled Yugana and she motioned her arms towards them and the water completely surrounded Aiko and Aido.
"That'll buy us some time. That sphere of water shuts down all of their senses so we can form a plan" said Yugana. Wow, Yugana's Bankai is so strong,so we quickly set up some plans. Not before long we hear boiling water.
We turned around to see Yugana's sphere of water boiling to the point the water is starting to evaporate.
"Let's put this plan into action" I said as Aiko's face was starting to become visible. The both of us charged at the Emperor of Death.
"Kotta Nisshoku!" I yelled and I swung my Zanpukuto, letting the black frost on the blade turn into icicles. At the same time, Yugana spun around making water flow all around her. She then punched the air making the water rush towards my icicles. Since the black ice is at a temperature below -100°C (-148°F I believe) the water that Yugana shot out froze onto the icicle making it bigger.
"You think that'll work on us?" asked the Emperor of Death. When they talked at the same time, their voice sounds really raspy. But, we knew that attack won't finish this fight. This is where part two comes in.
"Take this!" shouted Yugana from behind. She must've flash stepped to get into that position. In the meanwhile, I stepped back and gathered up Spiritual Power.
*Flashback to moments before*
"We need a plan to separate them" I said. Yugana nodded with her eyes closed and her fingers on her chin.
"How about a diversion first, something to distract them while we pull out the big guns and defeat them. Say, your Zanpukuto is an ice type right? Do you have any projectile attacks?" asked Yugana. I nodded.
"Kotta Nisshoku, Icy Eclipse. Fires out icicles from the frost on the blade" I answered.
"Okay, how cold are they?" questioned Yugana.
"Um below -100°C I guess" I answered again.
"Good. You do just that and leave the rest to me!" Yugana almost sounded too happy in this situation.
*Back to Present*
"Weak" said the Emperor of Death as Yugana sent her water flying at them, only to be stopped by the shield. Then with the spear, the Emperor of Death started to attack. Yugana was quick, but somehow, the Emperor was faster. How much of hell's power have they taken?
"Focus Haya. Hesitation will result in losses. But so will fear. Learn to move past them and move forward" said Karashimo. Hesitation? I was hesitating? I looked at my hand and saw that they were shaking, like they're deciding to move or not.
"Look out!" yelled Yugana and I looked up to see a big red plasma ball forming at the end of the spear.
"This ball of plasma not only destroys but if I pity my opponents, this ball of plasma can erase one's memory" explained the Emperor. So that's how they erase my memories! I am going to get back at them.
"NO HAYA! Don't fight solely on hatred. That path will only lead to bad things. Don't allow those emotions to take over your mind" warned Karashimo. The Emperor shot the plasma in my direction but before he release it, a gush of water attacked him from behind causing him to stumble.
"You brat!" yelled the Emperor. When he turned around, his whole back was slowly burning away. Yugana's water is special, maybe it has some sort of kido in it. As he was distracted I though of ways I could beat him. The only idea I can come up with was my strongest attack along with another one. But using the two is extremely risky for not only the area, but for me too. The attack needs a lot of Spiritual energy and I hope I gathered enough.
"Yugana, run as far as you can" I said.
"What?! No! I can't leave you here!" shouted Yugana as she shot more water at the Emperor.
"Trust me" I pleaded though she didn't listen. I didn't want to do it but I have no choice.
"Mayaonaka No Sutoraiki" I whispered. The surround area turned dark and from my feet, ice was starting to for everywhere. Even Yugana's water was becoming slush like. Then the clouds starts to swirl around creating a hurricane in the clouds.
"What's this?" asked the Emperor. Little tiny ravens flew down from the sky. Then in a blink of an eye, they swooshed down attacked the Emperor.
"What the-?! Get off me you pesky little birds" screeched the Emperor. Slowly from the bottom of his(or her) feet, the block of ice was forming.
"Yugana throw some water in there" I ordered. She stared at me before doing what I asked. She shot the water at the Emperor and the ice was forming a bit quicker. But luck never seems to be on our side since I could see that the Emperor was going to burn the water off. That's for part two of my attack.
"Yugana, you might want to step back. Kuroi Toppu" and just like the last time I used it, a blizzard surrounded them leaving no ways to escape.
"You think it'll be that easy to destroy us?! You are naive Haya" said the Emperor shot a beam of red light to the sky and sure enough the ground started to open. In the cracks were the souls that were throw in hell.
"Free us my minions" said the Emperor and the souls attacked us. Using up most of my Spiritual Energy, I was nearly worned out. I can feel my muscles burning with each movement. They were very skilled fighters but I can only assume that the Emperor gifted them with some of his power just so the souls can set him free. The souls were fighting at the skill of a lieutenant.
"Alright that's enough! Go back to where you belong" screamed Yugana as had a wave the size of a tsunami. She swiped her hand to the side and the wave came crashing down washing the souls to the cracks in the floor that they came from. I was extra careful not to touch that water so I won't die because that would suck.
"HOW DARE YOU SOUL REAPERS!" cursed the Emperor. I decided that if I dragged this fight out any longer there might not be a next time.
"Destroy" I commanded and the flurries attacked the Emperor and this time, a large explosion took place. Before I can react, I got caught in the explosion.
"Haya no!" I hear Yugana's voice but it was faint. When the explosion died down, my arms, legs and torso was bloody with a bunch of burns. My eyelids were heavy but I forced them open. I see Yugana running towards me with Squad 10, 6 ,13 , 4 and I think Ichigo and his friends are there too, running behind Yugana.
"Haya are you alright?" asked Captain Hitsugaya. Before I can reply, I felt my consciousness slip away.
