As Orihime and the others tried to figure out how to defeat the Roiyariti, they already made their move. Riesin had all six of them gather and caused the Jinsei Hana to bloom. Zenou drank every bit of the nectar that was in it. When he did, his body exploded with spiritual energy and began to transform.
"What's happening?" Ichigo said as they all tried to block out the shockwaves from the spirt energy.
"Be prepared for anything." Rukia said.
"Yuzu, you better take cover somewhere. This is going to get ugly." Karin said.
"No. I want to help." Yuzu said.
"Out of the question. Go!" Karin said as she pushed Yuzu out of the way. The spirit energy began to settle as it all compressed into an orb. Inside, Zenou moaned as the power was pulsing through him. Riesin took great pleasure in seeing this.
"Excellent. The final pieces are coming to place. Zenou is about to have unimaginable power." Riesin said. Zenou felt all the power and unleashed a loud scream as he burst the energy away and he was flying in the air in his new form.
"Is that Zenou?!" Orihime said as she and everyone was either amazed or nervous. Zenou looked just like one of the six flowers of the Shun Shun Rikka. He had wings coming out of his back with the flower still on his chest, but had one on both his hands. His body changed as well. His legs turned blue and ran up his sides with his chest, back, and arms white. He also seemed to have gain some color to his face and the dark circles around his eyes were gone.
"He's changed. He looks just like one of those fairies Orihime uses." Uryu said. "He also seems to have gain some color to his face making him look healthier." Zenou opened his eyes and began to get a feel for his power.
"How do you feel, Zenou?" Riesin said. Zenou checked for any signs of his illness and he didn't feel a single symptom.
"Amazing. I've never felt better in my life." Zenou said. "My illness is gone! I feel like I've been reborn!"
"That's good. It's just as I told you. Give it a test." Riesin said. Zenou agreed to that. Since he has a new body with new health, he wants to try it out. Zenou turned over to a building and held out his hand. A black a purple glow came from his hand. The building glowed the same color and it completely disintegrated. Zenou felt the power that came from it.
"That was just the tip of the iceberg." Zenou said. Orihime and the others were coouldn't believe what happened right in front of them. Rukia took a good look at the area of the building that was just there and saw there was no trace of it.
"That building….it's completely gone." Rukia said. "It's very existence has completely vanished."
"I can't believe he could do that with little effort!" Orihime said.
"It doesn't matter. We still have to stop him." Ichigo said as he tried to keep a grip on himself and his zanpakuto. He build up energy around the blade. "Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo swung the blade and unleashed the attack. Zenou saw it coming and formed a shield to block the attack.
"Was that suppose to harm me?" Zenou said. Ichigo used his great increase of speed to appear right in front of him.
"I've got you!" Ichigo said as he swung down and slashed against Zenou. Ichigo was able to wound him, but Zenou didn't even flinch. Ichigo sensed something was wrong and moved away from him.
"Smart move on moving away." Zenou said as a glow came from the wound and it closed up. There wasn't even a scar left on it.
"His powers are unreal and I don't think he's even getting started." Chad said.
"I'm not going to let that scare me off." Renji said as he build up his power. "Bankai!" He unleashed all his power and entered his bankai state with the wooden snake swirling around him. "Hihiho Zabimaru!"
"You're wasting your time. Not even a captain's bankai can stand up to me." Zenou said as he turned to him. "If I chose to, I could erase your entire bankai and you if I chose to."
"Bold words." Renji said.
"Renji, don't tempt him." Rukia said as she stood next to him and ready to fight. Despite her words, Rukia knew that fighting them was the only way they could stop them.
"You truly have no idea what I can do now." Zenou said.
"Let's see!" Renji said as he commanded the snake to strike Zenou, but Zenou just disappeared. "Where'd he go?" Zenou actually moved a lot faster than they could see. He moved past Rukia and Renji and struck them down instantly as they both dropped to the ground.
"Rukia! Rengi!" Ichigo called out.
"No!" Misha called out, but she soon realized that Riesin dropped the rope a while ago. She was able to get away from him.
"That's it! Bankai!" Orihime said as she unleashed her bankai. Her bankai had all her six flowers flying around her with pink veil that went from the back of her head to her ankles. "Megumi Hogohana!" She wasn't going to stop there. "Megumi Hogohan: Kogane no Taiyo!" The six came together and formed a sword blade on the guard and it shined gold like a sun.
"You still wish to fight me?" Zenou said.
"I'll do what I can to stop you." Orihime said.
"Just get rid of them already." Masuru said.
"No." Zenou said. "I've just received this new power. I've never felt better in my entire life. I think I'm going to play with her. I want to have some fun with these powers. After all, if I just erase everything now, I might never get this chance again."
"You're going to toy with her. Very well." Riesin said.
"No, I'm stopping you." Orihime said as she went to attack, but Zenou kicked her in the gut and sent her flying across town and he went after her.
"Orihime!" Ichigo shouted. He was going to go after her, but Riesin used his Shun Shun Raikko to keep him from going anywhere.
"I don't think so. This is the first time my son will actually have some fun." Riesin said. "I can't let you get in the way of that."
"Out of my way!" Ichigo said as he flew down and slashed at him, but Riesin moved out of the way.
"Ichigo!" Chad called out and wanted to help.
"I know what you're thinking and don't do it." Masuru said as he stepped up to Chad. "You have me to deal with."
"Fine. Fight Fiercely, Yasei Senshi!" Chad said as turned his sword into a mace. Uryu was on the lookout for an enemy and saw he was faced with Rinnosuke.
"I think it's time we settled matters between us." Rinnosuke said. That left Karin and she was up against Omai.
"Word of advice, this is no place for a little girl. Just drop the swords and walkaway." Omai said as he pounded his fists together.
"Not a chance, big creep." Karin said and pulled out both of her swords. "Keep balance between good and evil, Ikari to Yasashi." Karin had her katana transformed into the black and white swords and was ready to fight. Meanwhile, Orihime crashed down after being sent flying. Orihime managed to get back up as Zenou landed down. He was fully enjoying his new power.
"This feels amazing." Zenou said.
"Was it really worth it?" Orihime said as she used her sword like a cane.
"It was." Zenou said as he took in a deep breath. "So this is what it's like to fully breathe. So this is what it's like to be restless. So this is what it's like to have a clear head. I've never felt so alive!"
"And just what do you plan on doing with all this power?" Orihime said.
"Are you still on this? I told you that I will fulfill my father's wishes." Zenou said as he started to walk closer to Orihime. "At the moment, I plan on enjoying my new power. I want you to come at me with all you have."
"If that's what you want. I have to do what I must to save you!" Orihime said as she flew right at him. She swung her sword, but Zenou formed a shield and blocked it. Zenou held up his arm to her. All he did was open up his hand and it unleashed a shockwave that sent her flying back. Zenou could destroy Orihime entirely in an instant if he wanted, but he just wants to toy with her. At the same time, Misha rushed over to a wounded Rukia and Renji.
"Hang on, I'll help you." Misha said. "Goten Kisshun." Misha used four of her flowers and formed a purple barrier around the two of them and did her best to heal them, but she sensed something powerful. 'There's an immense amount of Zenou's spirit energy around both of their wounds. I don't know if I can reject it.' She thought. She looked around and saw all the fighting was going on. Seeing as how these people tried to protect her, she had to help them. 'No. I can do this. If I can keep helping them, all this fighting will come closer to an end.' She wasn't the only one who took in the destruction. Yuzu tried to stay hidden and looked around.
"This is all horrible." Yuzu said as she looked all the destruction and to see her beloved brother and sister with their friends in the middle of all of it. "Ichigo, Karin, everyone, please come out alive." Failing to stop their plans, this could be their last attempt to stop the Roiyariti.
