CHAPTER 10

"Let's go Orihime." Ichigo said and he put Orihime in his shoulder.

"Ichigo what are you doing?" Orihime asked blushing.

"We are going to jump from here, it is gonna be a waste of time if we simply stay looking around for a stairway." Ichigo replied.

"It is that...I am too much heavy." Orihime said hiding her face with her hands of embarrassment.

"Hey don't worry, you are not as heavy as I thought." Ichigo said, then Nell appeared and kicked Ichigo in the crotch. "You brat."

"You can't say things like that to a lady! You have to say that she is light even when she isn't." Nell said scolding Ichigo.

"It is okay, Nell." Orihime said a little embarrassed.

Then Ichigo jumped off the building with Orihime and Nell, in the ground for their shock they discovered that Grimmjow was alive. "I am...not...done yet." Grimmjow said panting as he returned to his normal form, he started to walk towards Ichigo but then he was grabbed by Baraka.

"You aren't going nowhere mister, not until you let Reptile treat your of wounds." Baraka said holding his friend.

"No way! Let me GO!" Grimmjow released himself from Baraka's grip and he rushed towards Ichigo only to be hit by a strange weapon near the neck.

"Grimmjow you sore looser, this orange haired boy is my opponent." A slim tall Arrancar with a four blade scythe like Zanpakuto said.

"Nnoitra, you son of a..." Grimmjow started to say then Nnoitra dashed and stood on him.

"So stubborn, why don't you just die?" Nnoitra raised his weapon to kill Grimmjow but then Ichigo and Baraka protected him, Nnoitra jumped back. "Hey Goro!"

Then the Shokan appeared and grabbed Baraka by the head. "I don't have nothing against you is just that I don't want you to get hurt." Goro said and he threw Baraka.

Ichigo was distracted by Goro and barely protected himself from another attack of Nnoitra. "Ha! First he kick your ass and now you let your opponent save you?" Nnoitra asked ironically, but then he saw that Grimmjow have disappeared.

IN ANOTHER PLACE

Arturo was carrying Grimmjow in his shoulder. "Don't worry bro, Doctor Reptile isn't here, but I know the right guy that can take care of you." Arturo said as he continued to run.

BACK TO NNOITRA

Then Nnoitra noticed Orihime rushing to help Ichigo. "Tesla!"

Then the blond Fraccion appeared and held her. "Don't make me hurt you." Tesla said.

Ichigo was distracted by Tesla's action and was kicked by Nnoitra."Damn I would never guess that such thin guy like him would be so strong." Ichigo thought.

"Let me show you something." Nnoitra said and he stuck his tongue out of his mouth showing a tattooed number 5. "Now do you understand your situation? This is my rank as an Espada, you suffered to beat that thrash of Grimmjow and I am stronger than him." Nnoitra said and he grabbed Ichigo by the head and smashed him on the ground, and he kicked Ichigo making him fly. "This was impressive wasn't Goro?" Nnoitra asked to the Shokan Prince.

Goro merely crossed his four arms and looked away of the Espada with his eyes closed. "*Hmpf* If for you impressive means attack two injured men or order your Fraccion to cowardly attack a girl, so yes it was indeed impressive much beyond the imagination." Goro said scolding Nnoitra that then was launched by a Getsuga Tensho. "Now that is something that I can consider impressive." Goro said grinning.

"Wait a sec, where is Nell?" Orihime thought as she looked around.

"Is there any problem?" Tesla asked.

"No, it is nothing." She lied.

"Yes, I remember now, that little girl if, I am not wrong she is..." Tesla stood looking around then he put his eyes in a boulder. "There." He said and started to charge a Cero.

When Tesla shot the Cero Goro stopped the attack with one hand. "There is no need to use this violence." Goro said and he jumped to behind the boulder and returned with Nell in his shoulder and he put her on the ground.

Nnoitra that was fighting Ichigo noticed the girl. "Well well well, look who is here. Long time no see you." Nnoitra said walking towards Nell.

"Wait... Do you know Nell?" Ichigo asked.

"Nell? This is the name that she told to you? So she wasn't being totally sincere to you, then allow me to say the truth to you, she is Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck an Espada!" Nnoitra said taking Orihime and Ichigo by surprise.

IN THE 8th ESPADA PALACE

Renji and Uryuu were fighting Szayel and they along with Pesche and Dondochakka but then they were back in the room they were. "What hell is happening?" Renji asked.

"Hello friends, now that I am here, what about we restart our fight again?" They looked around and saw Szayel. "Don't look at me with these widened eyes, did you really think that I would let you escape so easily? My palace is full of cameras so while I was changing my clothes I was watching you, and reconfigured the corridors of the palace to send you back to this room, I suppose that you are feeling yourselves pretty idiots by now, walking all this distance and ending in this same room." Szayel said cockily, then he noticed a gray robot with red eyes. "Look a Tekunin cyber-ninja, I am flattered that Sektor care about me but..." Szayel was starting to say but then the robot dashed and kicked Szayel in the head sending him flying, Shang Tsung that was watching the fight widened his eyes.

"Shut up pinky." The robot said.

Uryuu recognized the robot's voice. "Wait a sec, is that you Smoke?" Uryuu asked.

"Ha! I am glad that you recognized me with this new outfit." Smoke said ironically.

"How did you ended like this?" Renji asked.

"Well I was walking around looking and then I found my old robotic body, the rest I think that you know." Smoke said, then they noticed Szayel standing there with a creepy smirk forming in his lips.

"Now you made me angry." Szayel said and drew his sword. "Now you shall witness the full power of the 8tj Espada Szayel Aporro Granz, Slip Fornicaras." Szayel swallowed the sword his mouth emit a glow and he released pink Reiatsu and the room was covered by a mist, when the mist cleared away Szayel was fully transformed.

"I can't stay out of this fight, not now." Shang Tsung said as he jumped near to them and he assumed fighting position.

"Now let's start the 2nd act of this show...No, I should say that the 2nd act is ending." Szayel said and he unleashed a black purple liquid from his back.

BACK TO NNOITRA

"Did you really that she was harmless? I must say that I am impressed of how she lied so good." Nnoitra said.

"I am not an Espada!" Nell said denying Nnoitra's statement.

"Did you lost your memory?" Nnoitra asked.

"No! But I never lied to anyone!" Nell said.

"So you came here to end our last fight?" Nnoitra asked.

"No, I just came here to follow Ichigo, please Ichigo you have to trust me." Nell pleaded but Ichigo remained silent.

"Oh please, just shut up." Nnoitra said and he tried stomp on Nell only to ichigo deflect his foot with a punch.

"Of course I trust you." Ichigo said and he transformed to his lizard Hollow like form and he hit Nnoitra in the stomach with his tail making him fly some meters.

"I swear this boy..." Nnoitra thought as he used his weapon to stop, he pulled the chain of his weapon and threw it at Ichigo shattering his Hollow body. "Too easy!" Nnoitra jumped and stomped on Ichigo and grabbed his arm. "So fragile, now I understand why Shao Kahn wants to conquer your planet and extinguish your race." Nnoitra said and he broke Ichigo's arm.

Nell watched helpless her friend being injured and then she was enveloped by pink Reiatsu raising a cloud dust.

IN THE 8th ESPADA'S PALACE

"Well well well, has been a long time since I felt this Reiatsu, it is so...nostalgic." Pesche said.

IN SHAO KAHN'S THRONE ROOM

"Reiko...Did Aizen recruited a new Arrancar?" Shao Kahn asked.

"No my lord." Reiko replied.

"I see, so who is this strange individual?" Shao Kahn questioned.

IN THE PRIVARON ESPADA SECTOR

"Nell...is that you?" Grimmjow questioned.

The Privaron looked at him. "Ying Yang take care of my brother while I'll check out what is happening." Arturo said and he sonidoed.

"I'll go with him as well, stay here Aisslinger." Skullak said and he sonidoed.

BACK TO NNOITRA

When the cloud settled Nell have transformed in a young woman, Nell sonidoed and took Ichigo away from Nnoitra. "Is that you Nell?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes Ichigo, thank you for protecting me, now it is my turn to protect you." Nell raised, the wind moved her hair revealing a tattooed number 3 in her back, Nell rushed towards Nnoitra and slashed him in the chest, Nnoitra tried to slash Nell but she evaded with a jump and kicked him in the face, this didn't discouraged Nnoitra that stuck his tongue out and shot a Cero, Nell stopped the Cero with one hand and swallowed it and she shot a purple Cero that hit Nnoitra and caused a big explosion.

"Master Nnoitra!" Tesla released Orihime and ran to assist his master.

"What incompetent sucker, this is what happen when you underestimate your opponent." Goro said and he left to help Nnoitra as well.

Orihime and Ichigo were looking at Nell and then she ran towards Ichigo and gave a back-crusher hug on him. "Nell, please stop Nell, you are killing Ichigo!" Orihime said desperately.

When Nell looked to Ichigo that had almost faint. "I am sorry Ichigo!" Nell said and she hugged him even more tightly and he screamed in pain, than Goro was sent flying by by a punch in the stomach delivered by Nnoitra that was raised with help from Tesla.

"This is for calling me incompetent sucker!" Nnoitra said to Goro. "Thank you for helping me." Nnoitra said to Tesla and then he was punched in the stomach by Nnoitra. "But this don't mean that I wanted it!" Nnoitra shouted to his subordinated and turned his attention to Nell. "Cero Doble, I forgot this ability of yours, it is so fuck annoying. You have committed a mistake if you thought that strength of the Espada remained after all these years, this number three in your back means nothing." Nnoitra concluded smirking.

BACK TO THE FIGHT WITH SZAYEL

Renji activated his Bankai and his clones did as well destroying the palace. "I was starting to think that they were imitating me and I was right." Renji turned to Uryuu and Smoke that were rising from some debris. "Pretty smart uh?" Renji asked to Uryuu and Smoke.

"SMART? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" Smoke asked furious.

"This recklessness almost killed us, you are acting like Ichigo!" Uryuu said annoyed,

"Please, comparing me to Ichigo, it looks like that you aren't praising me." Renji said.

"Trust me, he isn't praising you." Smoke said with ironic tone.

Then Szayel emerged from the debris. "My gosh, what am I going to say to master Aizen." Szayel snapped his fingers and the clones were destroyed. "This way of fighting was becoming bothersome." Szayel said and he enveloped Uryuu with one of his wings, and then a doll resembling Uryuu popped out of a cocoon in his wing. "Mr Ishida won't have to do a thing, because now this doll will make all the moves he have to do." Szayel said and he poked the Doll hard in the forehead and Uryuu was injured in the forehead, then Szayel pulled the Doll apart. "What? Did you think that by pulling the Doll apart the person would be cut in half as well? Fools, the Doll is meant to do this, do you see these colorful parts? Pretty cute aren't they? It looks like child's toy, let me see here...Oh yes this one here is good, the stomach." Szayel destroyed the Doll's stomach causing Uryuu to vomit, Renji tried to attack Szayel but he was enveloped by Szayel's wings and he created a Doll of Renji. "You garbage, I hope master Aizen will destroy all of the beings that aren't Hollows." Szayel said and he laughed maniacally.

BACK TO THE FIGHT WITH NNOITRA

Tesla chuckled as he saw Nell fighting his master. "This is so nostalgic, it remembers me of the old good times." Tesla said to Goro.

Start Of Flashback

Arturo and his brother the 12th Arrancar Grimmjow were watching a fight between Nell and Nnoitra. "*sigh* She is gorgeous isn't she?" Grimmjow asked to his brother as he looked at Nell.

"If you are so in love with her, why don't you ask her for a date? It could end in some fun for you two in the night." Arturo said smirking suggestively. "Look, her fight has ended it is you chance."

"Nah, a lady like Nell would want nothing with a guy like me." Grimmjow said sadly.

Arturo scowled. "Stay here." Arturo said and he started to walk towards Nell.

Grimmjow realized what his brother was going to do. "No Arturo don't do this! You are going to ruin everything!" Grimmjow pleaded, but it was already too late, Arturo whispered something to Nell that giggled and she left winking to Grimmjow. "What did you say to her?" Grimmjow asked to the smirking Arturo.

"And thus it matter to you? What is important is that you have a date, and all thank to me." Arturo said with a cocky grin in his face.

LATER

Arturo was playing Poker with Ggio, Nnoitra, Aisslinger, Yammy, Yylfordt, Di Roy, Findor, Edrad and Grimmjow. "So, you have a date tonight, don't you?" Aisslinger asked to Grimmjow.

"Yes." Grimmjow replied.

"It was about time wasn't it?" Arturo whispered to Ggio that held a laugh.

"I don't know what you saw in her, she is such whore." Nnoitra said.

"Gay." Arturo whispered to Edrad that barely hold his laughs. "So, what do you have?" Arturo said to his companions, they showed their cards Arturo smirked and showed his cards. "Full House, I won." Arturo claimed, the other threw their cards of frustration. "Hey Grimmjow, Nell wasn't waiting for you now?" Arturo asked and Grimmjow ran. "Hey Aisslinger Ying is waiting for you in her room." Arturo said to the former Fraccion that sonidoed to his lover's room.

LATER IN ANOTHER PLACE

"I don't understand this obsession about defeating Nell of yours Master." Tesla said to Nnoitra.

"This is something that I consider unacceptable Tesla, a woman defeating a man in battlefield, I'll defeat her no matter what." Nnoitra said to his subordinate.

NEXT DAY

"Pesche Dondochakka, where are you?" Nell asked looking for her Fraccions. "It is lunch time!" Nell walked out of her palace and she found Nnoitra. "Not you again."

"Fight me now." Nnoitra demanded and Nell said no. "Really? Even after what I did?" Nnoitra showed Nell's Fraccions that were seriously injured. "I ripped off their masks, is this a good reason for you?" Nnoitra didn't finished his question and Nell rushed towards him and kicked him send him flying, Nnoitra barely recovered from the last attack and Nell came to stab him in the chest but then he disappeared.

"What..." Nell thought than she was hit hard in the head by a blade.

"I've got you." Nnoitra said as Nell fell to the ground. "Tesla! Szayel! Let's get rid of this thrash!" Nnoitra ordered.

OUTSIDE LAS NOCHES

Nnoitra took Nell and threw her out of the palace then she transformed to a child. "This pathetic form suits you well." Nnoitra said grinning as he entered the fortress. "My father would be proud of me."

WHILE INSIDE LAS NOCHES

Grimmjow and Arturo were looking for Nell. "I hope she is fine." Grimmjow said concerned. "Damn who am I trying to fool? I probably did something that angered her, and now she is avoiding me." Gimmjow said now desperate.

"Calm down sick freaky, I know that you aren't the perfect guy but I am pretty sure that you didn't done nothing wrong...Her screams last night are the tip." Arturo said then Nnoitra appeared.

"I don't think that you'll find Nell, she is pretty good in hide and seek." Nnoitra said smirking as he left.

"Why you .." Grimmjow wanted to slice Nnoitra to pieces but he was interrupted by Arturo.

"Yeah, I know too that he is involved in her disappearance, but we don't have proofs...for now." Arturo said to Grimmjow.

End Of Flashback

"This is taking too long, I think that I don 't have other choice." Nell said and she hold her Zanpakuto horizontally and she was covered by pink Reiatsu, Goro realized that Nell was about to Resurrect and he dashed towards her but was already too late. "Declare Gamuza." Nell's energy burst and she had transformed to a centaur with a spear.

In another place Arturo and Skullak were watching the fight from a building. "She is going to have problems fighting Goro and Nnoitra at same time." Arturo said.

Skullak looked around and saw Motaro walking there with a Chinese Halberd. "Hey Motaro! Goro is cowardly fighting a centaur lady with Nnoitra!" Skullak shouted.

"Son of a Bitch." Motaro thought, he dashed towards Goro and hit him with his metal tail, Motaro didn't stop and he charged a green flame like energy in his Halberd and he shot a slashing energy blast at Goro sending him flying and he followed.

"Great, just when I was needing his help." Nnoitra complained.

"Lanzador Verde." Nell threw her spear and send Nnoitra flying.

BACK TO THE FIGHT WITH SZAYEL

"Dondochakka did you feel that? Mistress Nell Resurrected, if she used her full power then we shall use our full power as well." Pesche said and he drew a blue sword. "Dondochakka unleash Bawabawa!" Pesche ordered, Dondochakka opened his mouth and a giant worm popped out of his mouth and attacked Szayel that dropped the Dolls.

Shang Tsung's hands were covered with fire and he clapped his hands and spread his hands summoning two tall fire monsters. "Destroy Them!" He ordered pointing to Dondochakka and Pesche, the monsters dashed towards the Arrancars but then Dondochakka drew a spiked club and destroyed them.

"You'll pay for underestimating us." Pesche said and he jumped to Dondochakka's back a Gatling-gun appeared in Dondochakka's mouth and he started to charge a yellow Cero while Pesche charged a Purple Cero and they combined their Ceros. "Cero Sincretico!" They shot the merged Cero, Shang Tsung jumped out in time but Szayel didn't and he was apparently hit.

BACK TO THE FIGHT WITH NNOITRA

Nell was about to finish Nnoitra but then she returned to her child form, Nnoitra tried to attack her but Ichigo rushed to defend her only to be knocked down by the Espada. "Master Nnoitra, do you want me to finish him for you?" Tesla offered.

"Please do it." Nnoitra said and he restrained Orihime.

"Crush Verruga." Tesla Resurrected to the form of a giant humanoid warthog like creature and started to mercilessly attack Ichigo.

BACK TO URYUU AND THE OTHERS

The dust settled and Szayel appeared intact. "Interesting attack, if I hadn't analyzed your Reaitsu before I would be defeated, but unfortunately for you all this is the end." Szayel said.

Shang Tsung summoned a demonic broadsword from the ground. "Could leave the Quincy for me?" Shang asked to Szayel. "I've already absorbed the soul of a Shinigami, but I never absorbed the soul of Quincy." Shang explained as he put the tip of his sword in Uryuu's chin and made him face him.

IN AARONIERO'S PALACE

The 7th Espada Zommari Rureaux found Rukia and Kenji in the ground. "The boy won't last too much but this girl still lives." Zommari said and he drew his sword.

WITH CHAD

Chad had defeated the Privaron Espada Gantenbainne Mosqueda and now both were seriously injured but luckily he was found by Kenji's twin older brother Toby. "Don't worry Chad, I'll take you out of here." Toby rushed to help Chad and then a Kunai hit him in the thigh.

"I do not think so." Toby looked to his back and saw a humanoid horned chameleon with sharp fangs and claws along with some Rudbornn and the Exequias walking towards them.

"Who are you?" Toby asked.

"It is me Chameleon one of the survivors of Zaterra, but now that we introduced ourselves let's get down to business." Chameleon said and he drew a sword that was in his back. "Rudbornn could please kill those fallen thrash on the ground while I kill this boy?" Chameleon suggested to the Arrancar as he fought Toby.

BACK TO ICHIGO AND ORIHIME

"I think that this is my end." Ichigo thought as Tesla tried to smash him with a punch but he felt nothing.

"Hey Ichigo..." Ichigo looked up and saw that someone protected him. "Long time no see you."
