---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Renji was running as fast as he could when he heard the scream. It was high pitched and sounded like a knife cutting through the night air. Renji's heart caught in his throat as he pressed on as fast as he could.

Renji stopped on a rooftop to try and pinpoint Ember's spiritual pressure. He could feel her but couldn't see her anywhere. Renji looked down just in time to see Ember slash her blade upward and catch the arancar off guard. A small but effective cut formed on he arancar's face.

A smirk came to Ember's face and Renji could finally see how bad she was hurt. There were deep cuts in both her shoulders and her stomach had a gash on it. There was also a small cut above her hair line, probably where she got knocked into the wall. Renji watched as the arancar unsheathed and lifted his blasé in a deadly manner. That's when Renji acted.

Ember's eyes widened as she saw Renji in front of her, holding off the arancar, Alzeid. "Renji!" she exclaimed surprised. Renji turned his head a fraction of an inch to look at her. "Hey. Miss me?" he answered in a joking voice. From where Renji stood he could see Ember's wounds more closely. They were all deep and most likely painful but so far not dangerous unless he didn't get her help in time.

Ember saw the anger that rose in Renji's gentle eyes but she had no idea why though. Her head was starting to spin a little and she felt so sleepy. Renji turned back toward his opponent but threw him of with a toss of his sword. The arancar jumped back and landed on his feet. Renji slung his sword on his shoulder then jerked his head at Ember "Did you do this to her?" Renji asked the arancar.

Alzeid smiled "I take it you don't like my handiwork" he laughed. Renji narrowed his eyes and nearly growled. Alzeid laughed again "Are you going to stop me?" he asked sarcastically. "That or I'll have to kill you." Renji said darkly. "You think so?" Alzeid said but with a tone of seriousness in his voice. Renji was about to answer him but then the arancar disappeared.

Something sounded behind him and Renji whirled around to see Alzeid holding Ember up by her waist with his sword to her throat. Renji's eyes widened again and this time he did growl "Put. Her. Down." he told him. Alzeid chuckled "A risk either way, huh? You make a wrong move and I kill her. You back off and I kill both of you. A double edged sword don't you think?" the monster said grinning.

"Renji, go I'll be fine" Ember said in a hoarse voice because of the sword against her throat. Renji looked her dead in the eyes and saw no fear there for herself only for him. Renji shook his head "No way. I'm going to help you finish this. No matter what" Renji said still looking at her. Tears pricked Ember's eyes but they never leaked. "Aw! How sweet!" Alzeid mocked them "I'm going to be nice for a moment just because I want to play with you two even more. Ready? Catch!" he yelled as he threw Ember roughly at Renji who caught hold of her easily.

Her legs nearly gave in but Renji scooped her up and cradled her with one arm while still holding his sword in the other. Alzeid clapped his hands in his new spot about ten feet behind the pair. "Very impressive. You're very quick." he said. Renji gripped onto Ember then leaned down and whispered in her ear "Hold on". Ember weakly grabbed a fist full of his robes as an answer.

The two men started rushing each other and they both got hits on each other. Renji also had a cut on one of his shoulders but his wasn't as deep or as painful Ember's. Alzeid wasn't much better. Renji was breathing heavily trying to catch his breath. He felt a tug on his robes and looked down into Ember's dark green eyes. "Renji, just stop. You're hurt." she said weaker now than she was before. She'd lost a lot of blood.

"I'm not quitting" he said still panting a bit. A few feet from them Alzeid, yet again, laughed "I'm not finished yet." Then he leaned and punched the ground with his fist. Renji and Ember were sent flying but in the process. Renji accidentally let go of Ember. They both flew a couple of feet away from each other. Ember flew in the middle of the street while Renji hit a light pole.

Renji struggled up and was about to run to Ember when he was stopped by Alzeid. The arancar laughed and gripped Renji firmly on his throat. Renji struggled for breath but Alzeid's grip was like iron. "Did you know that if I snapped your neck right now your head would collapse and you would suffocate? That is if you didn't die instantly from the breaking of your neck." Alzeid grinned at him "Let's try and see what the outcome, shall we?"

Alzeid's hand gripped even tighter cutting off Renji's oxygen but he kept applying the pressure slowly so Renji would suffer. "Ready to die?" Alzeid asked but something happened. A horrible wet noise.

The two looked down and a saw that a sword was protruding from Alzeid's stomach. The two men looked behind them and saw Ember standing there. It was her sword that inside Alzeid. She was leaning heavily on her sword for support. Ember took a deep breath "Burn, Sheikra".

Alzeid shrieked and dropped Renji on the ground, gasping for breath. Ember yanked Sheikra out of Alzeid and backed up a few steps. Alzeid had a wound that was both gushing blood and burning gold fire. "You have one minute until the fire reaches your veins and burns you from the inside out. You can either run to the river which is over ten miles away or you can sit there and hope it doesn't kill you. Risky business, huh?" Ember said breathlessly. Alzeid yelled angrily and lunged again at Ember screaming "If I'm going down I'm taking you down with me you little brat!!" Alzeid unsheathed and started to release his zanpakto. Ember only had one choice of what to do and if she didn't do it quickly both she and Renji would die. Ember gripped her sword and screamed "Bankai!"
