No One's POV
Within the ground as the battle commences above:
"Hurry Jiggles, or we'll be late to catch up with Kenny," called Yachiru who jumps up and down impatiently as Orihime tries to catch her breath. The two were separated by Uryu and Chad since more hollows attacked and Orihime was lucky to have found Yachiru along the way. She senses the battle and feels the fear gripped on her heart of how her friends are doing in battle.
"Alright let's go Yachiru before more show up," Orihime smiles sweetly at the girl as the two continue onto their own destinations. She wanted to make sure Yachiru was alright with Kenpachi and then help Ichigo and the others. They pass rubble and something in the sunlight caught Orihime's eyes as she stopped from following Yachiru.
"Jiggles, I'm going on ahead. You should find Ichigo and the others, see ya later," Yachiru waved at Orihime who nodded and continuing to look at that spot. She slowly walked towards the shiny object and eyes widened at what they were.
"What are these things doing here in a place like this?" wondered Orihime as she picked them up quickly and searched for Ichigo and the others since they would know what to do with these.
During the course of the battle:
Aizen watches the fight from a distance and believes he should begin his plan. He still feels the smirk placed in his face as the Head Captain and the 13 Court Guard Squads have no idea that he was standing near the Head Captain this whole time. He wonders that all this would have been possible if Minerva had not taught Nightshade illusionary magic to confuse their opponents. Now all he has to do is wait for a sign within the battles to make his move in eliminating his pets and pests. Gin views this and feels a bit of fear for Rangiku who seems to have trouble with water user and hopes she can make it out alive. He can also tell that Aizen is starting to get impatient since they removed the girl from the battle for him. He still wonders what this man's plan is for the girl and especially her zanpakuto who he keeps hearing Aizen mention frequently now. Aizen looks toward Nightshade and nods since he could see Chomei, Kazue, Takuji, Sakura, Gesshin, and Takamori beginning to lose their battles. As for those not named they had already lost to most of the Captains who are now returning to the Head Captains side with the vizards as well.
"Hey Yamamoto, how long is he going to stay in there?" Shinji inquires as the Head Captain stares at the three figure trapped within the walls of fire. Deep down inside he feels uncertainty and glances around to see if this maybe an illusion or some sorts.
"I don't know, but something does not feel right," He comments as he strokes his beard between his fingers. He is about to state a theory from his mind when he heard someone being stabbed from behind and all look to see Sui-Feng, Amagai, and Unohana along with Hiyori, Hachi, Lisa, Maron, Rojuro, and Kensei falling towards the ground hard with some cuts all over their body. This alerts the other members who are still weary but are prepared as Aizen appears across from them along with Nightshade, Tousen, and Gin with an evil smile on his face.
"Aizen how did you escape the attack and harmed my allies so quickly?" Yamamoto questions as Aizen glances towards the fakes in the barrier of fire.
"It's all of Nightshade's work that we fooled you and attack some of your men. Now if you excuse me I have some pest to get rid of, Nightshade, Gin and Tousen deal with them. For as of now, I will return," Aizen bows and completely disappears as the others go after him only to be distracted by illusionary copies of him and the three he left behind.
"Sorry but none of you are leaving anywhere alive," Nightshade chuckles as he vanishes when Shinji tries to cut him.
"Why don't you just give it up already? You're no match for me my sweet Kazue," sighs Kyoraku as the girl stands before him panting hard since he released his sword into its shikai form. He understands she does not mind death, but he cannot bring himself to just cast that before her. Kazue was about to remark when her eyes showed fear as she quickly hurried to Takuji side, alerting all three men as she pushes him aside. A blade pierces her heart as Takuji watches his only sister figure die in front of him by the hands of Aizen. He watches her fall towards the ground and quickly rushes to her and gently places her on the ground. His tears began to fall as she spits out blood and a puddle on blood begins to rise from her back.
"No, No h-he said that if I tried my best y-you wouldn't have to d-die. Why please Kazue d-don't leave me here all alone. Why did you even save me," Takuji clenches his fist as he hides his eyes beneath his hair. Kazue tries to reach to touch him gently but watches her hand fall weakly. She watches him and speaks in a light tone for him.
"Because…you…are…my…little…brother…and…it's…my…job…to…ensure…you…live…for my sake. So please don't cry Takuji, and run away from here before you are next as well," Kazue ushers her little brother as he shook his head 'no.' She tries once more to reach for him only to watch Aizen stab him as well from behind. Takuji falls onto her body as she glares at Aizen in pure hatred.
"I don't need weaklings, so it's best you two die. It's a fitting ending for you two," he smiles as he walks away from the two, For once her life, Kazue doesn't want her brother to die, but watches him turn his head towards her with blood dripping from his mouth. What caught her attention were the tears that fell from his eyes as he smiles towards her.
"Now we can die together big sis, and be together forever," Takuji coughs blood as he speaks weakly towards her. She could feel her own tears brimming and hugs her little brother as they both turned limp and become cold except for the warmth of their hearts connecting. Kyoraku grips his sword as he side glances at Ukitake whose face shows pain and sadness for those two siblings they had fought. Suddenly out of nowhere Aizen appeared in front of Kyoraku starling the man and slashes him across the chest deeply as he falls towards the ground. Ukitake was about to attack when a blade came from behind as he was stabbed by Gin who smiled coldly. He fell following Kyoraku as well.
"Hm… so know that we have taken almost down all allies do you want to continue cutting down the other weaklings as well?" Gin asks as Aizen nods and smiles as Head Captain Yamamoto arrives with only Shinji since the others had fallen as well except for Komamura who was battling Tousen.
"I will not allow you two to pass," Head Captain Yamamoto held his blade as Shinji followed him.
"Did you already forget about me?" smirks Nightshade as he appears with two of himself and blocks Yamamoto and Shinji from following. Aizen stays put as he watches Nightshade put a good show while Gin leaves to see if Rangiku is alright.
Within the ending of battles…
Renji pants hard after releasing his bankai to defeat this man and releases it to rest. This man was hard to take down but he was glad it was over. He turns his head to the left to see Izuru finish off that emo looking guy and Shuhei taking his opponent down as well. He looks to his right to see the girls loosing against that girl who challenged them. He starts to rush forward until he sensed hollows appear around them. He cursed as he tried to fight back, but the hollows were destroyed by someone else.
"Celestial Dragon's Wing Attack," called a familiar voice as Lucy appears next to Renji who was surprised by that attack.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be hiding," he glares at the blonde as she scoffs.
"No way am I hiding. Besides right now almost everyone here is being taken out, so shut up and let me help," Lucy snapped as he stared at her in surprise. "Anyway Ichigo went to help out that bald guy since his opponent is using support magic."
"Renji, what is she doing here?" called Shuhei surprisingly as Lucy noticed the tired look on his face and Izuru. She even caught some major injuries that needed to be tending to. She clenches her fist knowing she doesn't know any healing technique to help them.
"I'm here to help and I get it that you don't trust me. Even so I'm going to show you that I'm on your side. Please let me help," Lucy gives them a hopeful look as the others begin to wonder what to do.
"I cannot allow that young lady. Your actions from the Seireitei show you are an enemy," Head Captain Yamamoto appeared with injuries, but still stood tall against Lucy.
"I'm telling you it wasn't me, because I had no recollection. I wouldn't side with Aizen too, you need to reconsider sir," Lucy begged to Head Captain Yamamoto who was in deep thought. The others waited to see what was going to happened next as a voice filled of chuckles spoke.
"Really and how are they going to just let you in Lucy? I controlled you and made sure you attack Ichigo and the 13 Court Guard Squad remember," chuckled Nightshade as he appeared with a smile on his face.
"You how did you manage to beat Shinji and where is Aizen?" Yamamoto questioned the man as he just shrug.
"Lord Aizen is busy facing Kisuke Urahara and Yoriuchi. As for that guy he couldn't see through my magic," smirked Nightshade as he eyed Lucy with interest.
"I remember now you're the one who attacked me that night," Lucy stares in anger as Nightshade grins.
"That took you long enough even so how are they going to believe you?" Nightshade smug smile made Lucy clench her jaw as the others look towards the Head Captain for his decision.
"Lucy didn't do anything," a voice chimed as everyone looked around for the source.
"It was us because we heard about your plan," announced Gemi as he appeared from behind Lucy.
"Yeah and Lucy would never do anything like that," Mini agreed with her twin. Everyone stare in shock at the two small individuals who stood near Lucy.
"What in the hell are those?" Renji watches in confusion as he sees the two twins stare at him.
"We are the twins of the zodiac, please to meet you soul reapers and evil jerk that tried to use our Lucy," the two answer at the same time as Renji, Shuhei and Izuru were wondering if they were going mad.
"I remember you two little midgets whacking me in the head and then I dropped the girl after being blinded by a bright light," Nightshade recalled angrily as how he was about to leave with Lucy only to be ambush by two little bright lights.
"We send her away somewhere safe and changed into her to fool you," the two transform once more as Lucy making everyone stare again with wide eyes.
"If that was possible how did I get this cut on my arm?" Lucy glances at the wound as Gemini looked at the soul reapers and then back at her.
"We got it from a black haired girl that you know and I guess our wounds reflect back to you somehow. It's hard to explain I guess," Gemini sigh at the short answer to how Lucy got her wound. The Head Captain stood quiet and was about to answer when something came at him and send him flying, alerting the four of a female figure standing where he was at.
"Seriously you soul reapers need to pay attention or you're just going to die easily," smirked Shiori as she turned to face Momo and Rukia who try to attack her from behind. Izuru, Shuhei, and Renji were about to help when Nightshade appeared blocking them as the fight continue on. Lucy was about to help when she noticed Orihime being targeted by hollows and went to her aid quickly. Upon her arrival, she slashes through the masses of hollows and grabbed Orihime to a safe distance.
"Thank you Lucy," Orihime smiled gratefully to Lucy as she smiled back as well. They heard the sounds of blades colliding and watch the soul reapers fight in their weaken state against Nightshade and Shiori. Lucy frowns as more hollows began to appear from a giant hole in the sky. Orihime follows her line of sight and grips her hands tightly at what they could possibly due to save their friends. Lucy thinks until something strikes at her and she distances herself a little from Orihime.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" Orihime wonders as Lucy gives her a side smile.
"Just watch," Lucy gathers her energy and prepares to perform an attack. Light shimmers along her and she clasps her hands together in a prayer like position. "Celestial Dragon's Prayer."
Stars began to shine as everyone looks up and watches as it strikes all the hollows and enemy forces. Once that is completed it hits the allies only for them to feel their major wounds disappear a little. Lucy releases a breath and then is smashed into a hug by Orihime who was thankful for her for using such an attack.
"That was amazing…oh yeah Lucy do you know what these are?" Orihime asked as she pulls out two golden keys with symbols on them.
"Those are…" Lucy looks at them bewilder and grips her fist tightly.
With Toshiro…
"Would you at least hold still for a little?" Karin complained as she misses Karistu who gives her another cut. She hisses and distances herself once more from the boy.
"Give up already and just become my woman," Karistu grins as she glares at him.
"Fat chance," Karin scoffs as she glances at Toshiro worriedly as he blocked another attack from Toshi.
"Toshiro just fall for me already and besides that girl is the opposite of your zanpakuto. She even said she hated you," Toshi jabbed Toshiro with those words as he gritted his teeth and try to ignore them.
"Toshiro don't listen to that stupid garden tool," Karin shouted as the two stared at her in the confusion "garden tool."
"How dare you insult me like that you good for nothing tomboy," Toshi finally understood what she meant by those words.
"Um…Karin what did you tell her?" Toshiro raised a brow in questioning as she sighs.
"She meant to call her a hoe genius," Karistu smirks as Toshi sent a daggering glare towards him.
"Shut your mouth," Toshiro glares at Karistu as Toshi blushes about Toshiro standing up for her. Toshiro sighs and turns to Karin who sees his concern and pretends that it doesn't fade her.
"Karin, let's switch partners," Toshiro glances at Karistu as Karin stares at Toshiro in confusion.
"Toshi uses an ice zanpakuto and I think its best you face her. My only guess is that Karistu has the same element as you," Toshiro explains as he appears near Karin. Karin thinks for a moment before something in the sky caught her eye.
"What the hell?" Karistu said in confusion as he was slammed by a group of stars that cut him as he did his best to block them. Toshi had the same thing happen to her and screamed in pain as the stars slowly disappear.
"Wow where did those stars come from?" Karin thought in awe as Toshiro had a proud smile on his face.
"That was Lucy and I'm guessing we should be ending this soon. Let's go Karin," Toshiro positions himself as he flash step towards Karistu who blocks his blade last second. Karin watches for a little and returns her attention to Toshi who was glaring at her.
"That Lucy is going to die either way, so I probably be the one to comfort my love," Toshi fantasizes about Toshiro and herself while Karin narrowed her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Karin clenches her fist as Toshi smiles cruelly at her.
"Lord Aizen's plan wasn't about restoring the cube. This whole time he has been after one person and now he will make sure to gain the power she has within herself," Toshi slashes at Karin who dodges and swings at Toshi who grabs her blade startling Karin.
"Lucy Heartfilla will die by this day and you won't be able to stop it. Goodbye Love Rival," Toshi grips Karin's blade as she raises her own and is about to kill her. A blade pierces her heart and she turns her head a little to see an angry determined Toshiro whose gaze made Karin shiver in unease.
"There is no way she will die and I won't let that happened. It seems like your battles have now cease Toshi," Toshiro pulls his blade out as Toshi gives him a sickly smirk and catches his eyes. Karin looks for Karistu and sees him incased in ice and looks back to see the interaction between Toshiro and Toshi.
"Then be prepared my love for if she doesn't die, then what do you think may happen to her once she returns," Toshi spits out blood as she smiles evilly while Toshiro winces at the mention of her returning from where she came from. His eyes shadowed pity as he watches Toshi fall and destroys the incased ice of Karistu which shatters into small pieces. Toshiro grips his sword's handle tightly as Karin wonders what she should do. She glances at his back and slowly appear behind him. Toshiro turns to let Karin know not to worry, but is embraced in a hug. He stands there unsure of what to do, but hugs her back as well. After a while, they let go and nod to head for the battles up ahead. As they continue to get closer, Toshiro fears for what may come up ahead.
Back to the battles…
Momo and Rukia jump away from the boil water that Shiori releases and flash step out of the way of Nightshade's earth attacks. Renji and Izuru try to focus the man's attention on them, but he simply ignores them. Shuhei attacks Shiori who collides with his blade as well, but only to be hit by a rock hand from behind. He slams into a couple of buildings only to appear within the battle of Komamura and Tousen and decides to face against his own teacher once more. Lucy looks at the two keys in her hand and hears a wave coming towards them. She grabs Orihime and places her on a tall building where some of the injured laid.
"This is bad everyone here is injured and the battles are close by. What are we going to do?" Orihmie wonders worriedly as she watches Rukia and Izuru get a direct hit from a wave. Momo tries to aid Renji but is slammed against large rock hand. Lucy ponders on what should be done when she sees someone appear injured badly with Yoruichi and Kisuke in their arms. The two girls run to help the man set the injured down, and Lucy feels a shiver go down her spine. She turns to see Aizen staring at them with a bemused smile which put her in unease.
"Mr. Kurosaki, what should we do? It would take time to evacuate the injured," Orihime frowns and looks at all the injured people sadly. Lucy sees this and wonders what she should do to help.
Meanwhile Aizen comes up with an idea, and sends telepathic thought towards Shiroi and Nightshade who look in his direction for orders. Minerva told him that Nightshade has the ability to send thoughts to his allies create illusions and control the earth which left in a happy mood.
My lord what is it the two thought in respect as Aizen smiled.
Destroy the building containing the injured and force the girl to unleash her potential so Tialong while be summoned Aizen commanded as he prepares to attack the celestial spirit.
Yes my Lord the two flash steps behind their opponents surprising them as they use their strongest attack.
"Boiling Point Tsunami," Shiroi smirks as the huge wave alerts every one of her attack.
"Earth Stone Hands," Nightshade smiles evilly as two hands surround the building and prepare to attack. Orihime and the others brace for the impact while Lucy appears within the distance to face the upcoming attacks. There has to be a way somehow, but what is it? Please someone show me the way Lucy grips her sword's hilt tightly as the two attacks grows near. Aizen waits for her to summon her shikai and wait for the dragon to appear. Lucy feels something lightly tingling her hand as she looks down on her left to see the two keys glow brightly. Then she takes a deep breath and raises the two keys towards the direction of the attack. A single chant appears in her mind as she spoke them aloud.
"Looks like it's the end for your friend," laughed Shiroi as the soul reapers tries to think of something quick.
"That was too easy and I can't wait to see their faces. There is no way she will be able to stop those attacks," grinned Nightshade as Renji and Momo glare at him. Suddenly something golden catches their eyes and they see Lucy holding two keys in her hand. She performs a magic circle and reopens her eyes determinedly.
"Open Gate of the Maid, Water Bearer! Aquarius, Virgo!" Lucy chants as the water that was going to attack them revealed a mermaid. She has a long blue fish-tail, blue hair, large breasts, and dons a revealing blue bikini top. She wears two gold armlets on both of her arms and wrists; she also wears a headband and three piercings on her tail and a golden belt on her waist. A dark blue tattoo is on her collarbone of the zodiac sign of Aquarius. She has an urn in her arms as well. The stone hands are destroyed when a woman with short pink hair and blue eyes spins from out the ground. She wears a typical maid outfit, consisting of a black under coat and a white, frilled-trim apron with shackles on her wrists. Everyone stared at them in amazement until the two turned to Lucy.
"Punishment time Princess?" Virgo asked as everyone sweat-dropped at "punishment."
"Tch…where the hell are we blondie? And I have a thing or two to say to you," Aquarius glares at Lucy as she stares at her in confusion and fear.
"Do I know you too?" Lucy asked as the two spirits stood still in surprise and hurt.
