I know I said no thanks but I couldn't resist...
Thanks to everyone who made this story possible... nd thanks to MR. Tite Kubo. I still dont own bleach..(maybe next time)
"You stray little twerp..how did the thought of you thinking you could kill be even arise in your mind." Wood smirked as he held Nenshou by his throat. "I should feed you to the Hollows, let them devour your soul..an ironic death..dont you think?" Nenshou said nothing, he just closed his eyes and let the blood run down his chin. Wood punched Nenshou with his free hand, Nenshou spit the blood out. "Answer me when I talk to you. I should feed you to the Hollows and let them devour your soul...an ironic death..dont you think?"
"I'm too retarded to answer your question, sorry."
"What...you dare mock ME. The one who literally has your life in his hands." Wood laughed. "You see, Nenshou, I always liked you, you were so funny, so irrelavant, thats what you are, nothing but of speck of nothingness taking up space along with the other specks..wasting your life. You see what would it matter if I killed you right now? You would just go back to being a human, but still a speck of nothingness just taking up space along with the other specks. Your technique is horrible, and that Bankai of yours...dont get me started." Wood looked down and raised the choking hand higher, making Nenshou grab Wood's hands. "Look at you...so pitiful..so weak.. on the verge of death... You see I'm having this horrible dilemma..."
"Oh my god..Will you just shut up and do what your going to do...the big bad guy speech..is getting so old."
Wood chuckled. "Oh, eager to die, are we?"
"I dont know..you tell me."
Wood laughed. "Very funny." He tightened the grip around Nenshou's throat. "I will not be played with." Wood raised his sword. "So you get your wish.."
"Wood..!" Nenshou looked to see Akane limping back over to Wood, who was smiling a ghoulish smile. Nenshou noticed that see had burn marks all on her body and had a broken leg. "Piggy back ride." Wood dropped Nenshou and slowly walked over to Akane, grabbing her tightly, holding her close. Wood looked into her eyes, smiled, and stabbed her. "What..you betrayed us."
"Yeah, he seems to do a lot of that these days." Nenshou muttered to himself.
"No..well yes..You see Akane..i was never with you nor against you. I was just part of the plan." Wood slowly let Akane fall and stabbed her once more. Then turned his attention to Nenshou.
"Hado #9 Strike!"
Wood was engulfed in a red light. "Ha..you're going to need a better kido spell than that to contain me." Wood said, trying to move. He struggled then soon relized he couldnt move. "What!"
"Even a weak kido can become powerful if used by a sufficient user."
"Oh if it isnt liutenant Ooshiro."
"Captain Zashiari Ooshiro of Squad 12. Coming to rescue him."
"What no trying to avenge Raven?"
"Nope, I'm smart enough to know when I'm not ready...but I will be soon." Zashiari walked over to Nenshou and picked him up, hung him over his shoulder, and flickered away.
"All part of the plan!" Wood laughed as he used Shunpo and disappeared.
"Shoototsu, Mugen Mizu Nami!" (Crash, Endless Water Wave) Kaito's mask became a beak, as a pair of wings shot out from his back. He laughed as his wings stretched out. "It's been so long, oh so very long. Now its time to get oh so serious."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say." Nagi smiled. "I'm going to rip those wings from your back and beat you with them."
"What, do you think that you can even defeat me...do you know what I am?" Kaito bellowed.
"A seagull." Yorishiro asnwered blankly.
"Im the ultimate form of the Hollow. I am a Vasto Lorde."
"What how is that possible, the Vasto Lorde population is to meager for a Vasto Lorde to even become an arrancar, the souls you would have to eat are immense." Yorishiro said.
"Ha, do you still read those old textbooks little boy, we've grown, we have evolved. The head honcho has provided a means for us Vastos to reign supreme. But sadly, our philospher's stone is running dry and...but enough with my useless drabble. I have played around with you two for too long. It's time to die."
"Would you stop running and fight." Ariel muttered.
Sariel looked at his baby sister...He looked at how much she's changed, how much she grew, it was a long time before they saw each other and Sariel didnt want the first reunion to be a fignt. It was never his intention for her to get hurt, but it happened. He left the Soul Society in order to become stronger, to never be weak again. He took the steps it took, how ever unnessecary they seemed. Ariel and the others wouldnt understand, to Sariel, it was something he had to do. He became a Hollow, became stronger, until one day "God" sought him out, and helped him become what he is today. He looked back at his sister, really looking at her, looked into her eyes, seeing what a always saw, his best friend. Look at her...she can take care of herself now. "Very well, I supposed your a big girl now, no more coddling." Sariel drew his zanpakuto and pointed it at Tariken. "Wolfboy, I'm ready."
"Finally." Tariken put his gameboy in his robes and slowly got up from where he was sitting, picked up Hikage Hime, and looked at Ariel. "You ready?"
Ariel nodded looking at Tariken and Tariken nodded back, Tariken ran towards Sariel, swinging his giant blade. Sariel dodged the first strike completely, parried the second strike, jumped landing on the claymore's blade, then kicked Tariken's head sending him flying.
"Chapter 2: Passage 1: Ho..Hinotama." Holding her book in her left hand Ariel raised her right hand, becoming overtook with flames, it shot a fireball the size of a baseball at Sariel, which hit him directly in the chest, sent him flying.
"Tariken, throw me." Nagi ordered. Tariken looked up at Nagi and nodded. He got up, picking her up, and threw her directly at Kaito.
Kaito swooped down to meet her, with his sword raised and at the ready. Nagi swung at his head, Kaito met with a parry, then tried to stab her. Nagi guarded down, punching Kaito with her free hand. Kaito took the blow, kicking Nagi in her previous wound. Nagi winced then cursed as she somehow managed to grab one of his wings. Kaito struggled to get her off, he barrel rolled, but it worked to no affect, Nagi finally brought him to the ground, face first, but not before slicing his wing.
Tariken kicked at Sariel but to no effect, Sariel just evaded the big leg, and manuvered around it, drop kicking Tariken in his chest as he hit the ground he dodged the attempted slicing of Yorishiro, Sariel used his hands to flip over Yorishiro, cutting his shoulder while in the air, and landed gracefully on the ground. As the blood squirted from Yorishiro's shoulder he ran towards the fallen Kaito, with his glaive raised trying to stab him, Kaito quickly hopped up, slinging Nagi at Yorishiro, Yoshiro caught Nagi and placed her on the ground. As Nagi was placed on the ground, she parried an attack from Sariel, who kicked Tariken in his chest, then flipped over Nagi, kicking Yorishiro in the head, and landed next to his partner.
"Come on Kaito, stop playing around and help."
"You look like you got this under control, I dont think I should intrude."
Kaito and Sariel looked around to see everyone was surrounding them.
"Chapter 4: Passage 1: Mizu...Pound Them Without Hesitation... Yurusumaji Doshaburi."
Overhead the bellows of the gray clouds were heard, in loud ferocious roars, as lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the downpour of freezing rain that pounded at the skin of the Soul Society.
"No...Castizo...you're that deep in the darkness...that you actually have a resureccion." Hideyoshi muttered to himself.
"HAHAHA! I am the pinnacle of greatness. But I don't want to fight a brat and a loser...i want the big dog...i want Hideyoshi.. Sin..come!" Suddenly Nao and Kentori felt a sharp pain in their backs. They both looked back to see a guy with straight horns coming out of both sides of his head had blasted them. "Sin..don't kill them just keep them busy...awww..what the hell...you haven't had the pleasure of murder in a while have you? So do what ever your heart contents."
"Yes..Master." Sin smiled.
Overhead the bellows of the gray clouds were heard, in loud ferocious roars, as lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the downpour of freezing rain that pounded at the skin of the fighters below.
"Now...Hideyoshi...we finish the fight." Castizo flapped his wings and flew at Hideyoshi picking him up and flying into the sky. Castizo grabbed Hideyoshi by the throat as they flew up, punchoing him in the face with his free hand. Hideyoshi dispatched some of the blows with his arm and started punching the face of Castizo as well. Castizo smilled as he dropped Hideyoshi, who was falling faster than you can say it, kept his stern look as he fell. Castizo flickered in front on the falling Castizo, kicked him several times, then opened his wings, falling back. "Muerte Pelota!"
Nao looked at the giant ball that was aimed at Hideyoshi, but quickly adverted her gaze, to try to find Sin. "Stop running!" At that second, Sin appeared right behind her as the massive crater was formed by the Muerte Pelota.
"Tenrai-Kage" Kentori slashed Nagai Tanken and a wave of darkness rushed towards Sin. Sin glanced back to see the aqttack and flickered away leaving Nao to take the blow. She also flickered appearing next to Sin, kicking him towards Kentori. Sin caught himself in mid-air and flickered behind Nao. "Bala." Sin raised both his hands and firing both at Nao and Kentori. Kentori cut through his, watching as Nao nimbly dodged hers.
Hideyoshi slashed at Castizo, foreseeing the dodge of the attack he just dealt. Hideyoshi quickly turned around just as Castizo flickered behind him and peirced Castizo in the stomach. Castizo at that second blew fire onto Hideyoshi.. Hideyoshi quickly patted down the flame and took off his robes, rubbing the burn he just endured. I see what I have to do...to beat him. Hideyoshi looked at Nao.
Nao punched Sin causing him to fly back, Sin flew right into Kentori's arms, arm locking him, Nao started to punch him in the stomach rapidly. Sin grimaced as he used Sondio to get out of flurry of punches, causing Nao to acidentally punch Kentori, making him fall to his knees. Nao looked back at Sin and flickered behind him roundhouse kicked him in the head. Sin tripped her, jumped, then landed on her stomach. Kentori ran towards Sin slashing at him. While kicking Nao he nimbly dodged each blow and was able to even sidekicked Kentori between blows. Kentori caught Sin's fourth kick, flipping him in the air. Nao quickly started to kick Sin upwards then flickered above him, stomping him on his back. As Sin fell from the blow Kentori used Tenrai-Kage to cut Sin in half. Sin flickered away and left the attack for Nao to receive. Nao nearly dodged the attack, getting a deep gash in her left side.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed.
"Castizo this is your last chance...to give up this foolishness!!" Hideyoshi bellowed.
"Bala." Castizo fired a small ball aimed at Hideyoshi's head, nearly missing.
Hideyoshi stood firm as the attack went passed him..not even a blink. As a matter of fact...for the first time ever. Hideyoshi's eyes were blank..no emotion..just blank pools of water with moonlight shinning over them. "Fine..Have it your way." a silverish blue aura surounded him causing his reiatsu to become visible. He raised Ryuuno Tsuki which was becoming curved similar to the shape of a cresent. "Nao! Kentori! Leave!"
"No, General I won't leave him, I swore...I swore...I would kill him. I refuse...Not till his blood is bathed on my Zanpakuto."
"Ha, the mere thought of you even dreaming that you could defeat Master...is quite funny." Sin laughed.
"Well if its so funny how about I kill you next."
"The utter thought that you can even kill me is even funnier, I love playing with my victims giving them a great work out, then feeding them to the Hollows, getting the Hollows nice and juicy...then devouring them. Why I believe the humans call the circle of life. This is nothing but I mere workout..."
"I said...leave!!" Hideyoshi shouted.
"And I said No" Kentori told him.
"What the Hell is your problem, if General Hideyoshi tells you to leave...you leave." Nao picked Kentori up and disappeared.
"Sin..follow them and show no mercy."
"Yes master."
Castizo watched as Sin disappeared, smiled, and set his gaze upon Hideyoshi. "Now the climatic battle resumes, good vs evil. Tell me Hideyoshi...who do you think will win?"
"No one Castizo, it doesnt matter if one of us wins...we both lose..we both lose a friend, a companion, a fellow brethren that use to fight side by side for the same cause..."
"Blah...Blah...Blah...Don't you ever shut up about the past...oh we were brothers, oh we were friends...who cares..this is me now...this is how I always was...you were just to blind to see it...humans...they are so weak...they long for power... their lust for power brings about war, death, chaos. So why should I have to protect those humans souls...you see Hideyoshi...I have seen the light..i have seen the truth...why should I protect something thats going to die in their fruitless quest for power...when I can have it. Let the powerful become more powerful. And so...thats what it became. Thats what I became. More powerful...I joined the Hollows with that strength..and quickly rose to the ranks proving that I was the best...proving that I am powerful. Hideyoshi, do you understand...what I've been trying to tell you...through our youthhood? Do you understand me, tell me Hideyoshi!"
"Sadly, yes."
"And you are wrong about another thing...with loss comes gain."
Rain poured down on the two, freezing the skin. Thuder roared in the sky and the lightning came crashing down between the two.
Hideyoshi and Castizo flickered towards each other. Hideyoshi slashed at Castizo who dodged each attack. Castizo then slashed at Hideyoshi, they met at a stalemate. They looked into each others eyes. As they dispatched the attacks they smiled. This was like old times to them...and even if Castizo didnt admit it..it was nostalgic. Castizo cut Hideyoshi across his burn while Hideyoshi cut Castizo's left arm. Castizo winced as he shot fire out of his mouth, Hideyoshi quickly blocked it with the flat side of his zanpakuto, slashed at Castizo's arm.
Lightning crashed down to the sky leaving the Soul Society surround with light.
Blood squirted.
Castizo watched as his right arm fell to the ground.
Angry. Castizo impaled Hideyoshi with his left hand. Both coughed blood.
They both stood there. Not dead. Just basking it the moment. They both knew...really knew...that this would be the absolute last time they would ever have to see each other.
They knew that once they released each other, that there would be only one attack. Hideyoshi and Castizo looked into each others eyes...one last time. And for the first time...Hideyoshi saw real emotion in the eyes of Castizo Sombre.
"I'm sorry. Castizo Sombre, I enjoyed the time we spent together...it was very...no..nostalgic. Kokoro no Kou."
"I see you finally mastered it."
The light that surrounded Hideyoshi expanded surrounding Castizo...
And slowly but surely Castizo began to wither away.
"Hideyoshi..."
blue particles started to float in the sky.
Hideyoshi..not wanting to see his best friend die...turned and flickered away..and for the first time Hideyoshi's eyes was the saddest color...pale as the moonlight.
"Sin..Come."
"Master..what has he done to you?"
"Take me back...I have to tell him I failed."
Sin picked up what was left of the withered Espada and flickered away.
"Wow, Reikoku, your so full of surprises. Who would have thought a Datenshi would be a Soul Reaper. Tell me how do they even allow you to continue reaping souls?" Liam looked at Reikoku, who looked down. "OH! WHAT! Reikoku your kidding me, you mean to tell me they don't know? If you don't mind me asking, how did this come about?"
"It's none of your concern."
"AWWW, Reikoku, don't do this to me. This is like the only time we'll ever have to get to know each other, before I slaughter you. So if you would be so kind."
"No."
"Well I guess I'll have to kill your loved ones."
"Ha, that's actually pretty funny. Kaiyen, Kentori, Yuri, and Akira can all take care of themselves, so go for it. I doubt you'd even lay a finger on Yuri or Kentori while Kaiyen is around and Akira would freeze you where you stand before even flipping the first page."
"See, Reikoku, I'm starting to think your underestimating me...I wouldn't dare think about it...lets see who could I kill...exactly no one...you're alone..you're an outcast...a freak. You're like me, you cherish the precious screams of people as the plead you for their bleak and pointless lives. I know this because you went to Hell, so I know youre bad Reikoku. I know you're a murderer. But something happened in that ascension to a higher place who unknowingly call the Soul Society. Reikoku we've been to Hell and back, lets rule over the Soul Society with an iron fist, crush who oppose us."
"No, I'm not like you...I've changed.."
"Fuckin' right you have. You lack the skills to kill, well I know you kill cause your a Soul Reaper, but you wanna kill me so bad, and you have had multiple chances to kill me just during this conversation alone. You see Reikoku, you don't want to kill me, you love me, well you love the thought of someone else like you, just as ruthless, just as uncaring, pissed off at the world, admit it, you're just like me and I am just like you...So, you told me to let out the beast, the demon, the real Liam...so now I'm telling you...Let out the real Reikoku, not this pussy."
"Ha, Ha, you're right, I could have killed you at any time I chose. But I do love the thought of someone on equal terms with me, it does make it fun." There was a lite chuckle from Reikoku. "But the thought of you and me, even becoming partners in enslaving the Soul Society...is far-fetched. I would kill you before that even took place. I'm too greedy. And plus I quite like it up here...its much better than down there. Here's something you could even understand even though I'm a Datenshi...I'm still Captain Reikoku Moujuu of Squad 11 of the 13 Court Guard Squads, and you are still an intruder, and you still must be dealt with in the only manner possible...Death."
"Yeah. Finally all this talk was boring me, lets see which Datenshi will win, the mutt or the one with a hole in his person." Liam laughed."Healing Wind." a bright shade of green circled around Liam, Liam laughed as his wounds slowly closed.
"Kuyamu..." Reikoku's zanpakuto started to glow a bright white. "I'm going to beat you with my bear hands. They have taken as many lives as they could, without hesitation. Please allow me to punish them with as many as they can take, with as much force that is possible. Allow me to show them GREED. Musaboriku Yukushin" At that second, Reikoku's zanpakuto shattered.
"Oh, I've heard of Musaboriku Yukushin, but I've never seen it. This will be fun." Liam said as his mask regenerated onto his face. Liam raised Shitsumeikage and pointed it at an idle Reikoku.
Overhead the bellows of the gray clouds were heard, in loud ferocious roars, as lightning streaked across the sky, followed by the downpour of freezing rain that pounded at the skin of the Datenshi below. Liam laughed and Reikoku smiled, but slowly Reikoku's smiled faded as Liam stopped laughing. Reikoku looked into Liam's eyes and for the first time Liam actually looked serious. There was raw determination in both eyes, they weren't the eyes of a demon, the eyes emotionless passion that was only brought out during the battle between the two, that loved to fight. Then Reikoku started to wonder that if he and Liam were really the same is this what his eyes looked like about now? They waited, stood there idle, watching each other, waiting for one another to make a move. Liam had already planned out the course of attack, and so had Reikoku, all they need now was the perfect opportunity.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed.
Liam and Reikoku had disappeared. They reappeared close to each other, Liam rapidly slashed his zanpakuto, aiming for Reikoku's head. Reikoku nimbly dodged each attack, punching him in the stomach. Liam took the attack, kneeing Reikoku's stomach, then flicking his head, used Sonido to appear behind him, slicing his back, as the blood squirted out of the back, Liam once again used Sonido to appear in front of Reikoku, who was anticipating this pattern of attack, and stabbed him in the stomach. Reikoku smiled as the blade pierced his flesh, he grabbed the blade, pulling Liam and surprising him, Reikoku began punching Liam in his face multiple times, right left then right again. Reikoku then punched Liam directly in his chest, causing Liam to slide back a couple of feet. Reikoku preceded to take the blade out of his stomach quickly, throw it to Liam, who caught it, and grinned.
Liam didn't grin, he didn't find this funny at all. How is he doing this? Dispatching every thing I throw at him. Liam closed his eyes trying to review the Musaboriku Yukushin. But he couldn't Reikoku wouldn't allow that, Reikoku flickered towards Liam, with his fist raised and clenched. Liam quickly opened his eyes and parried with the flat side of Shitsumeikage. Reikoku brought back his other fist and hit Liam dead in his jaw, sending Liam flying. Liam hit the ground, looking up he saw Reikoku foot coming down from the sky. He quickly used Shitsumeikage, sending the blade through his foot.
Reikoku jumped back from the blade and landed on his other foot, he slowly put his bloody foot down to see if he could walk on it, he couldnt. But he would have too. Liam flickered over to Reikoku, and slashed him vertically down his chest. Reikoku grabbed Liam by the throat, throwing him to his left, as Liam went soaring, and landed at the base of the Sokyoku, Liam looked up, upon impact, to see Reikoku running towards him. Liam tried to wiggle out, but he was to far in. Reikoku preceded to pummel Liam, then yanked Liam out of the groove he caused, bashing his face into the wall. He suddenly stopped and let Liam fall to the ground.
Thunder roared once again.
The rain slowly washed the blood away from Liam's face, Liam tried to open his left eye, but couldn't. Liam knew it, Reikoku knew it. The fight was over.
"No, I will not...I will not lose to you.. the Fuzen Datenshi. I refuse to..." Liam slowly got up, but fell back down. Liam got up once more. Ran towards Reikoku. "If I die, your coming with me!" Liam impaled Reikoku through his chest. Reikoku coughed up blood. And so did Liam. Liam looked down to see that Reikoku had also impaled him through his stomach with his fist.
"Musaboriku Yukushin, the technique of the Datenshi of Greed, you attack the enemy with their fist until they can no longer take it, as you attack, the force of the blows you deal with become greater, letting the enemy take more than they can have." Reikoku recited. "Kuyamu.." Danwokudasu appeared back into its sheath.
Liam leaned against the base of Sokyoku, slowly sliding down until he was sitting. He placed his hand over his mask. "How...Why...W..W..Why cant I kill you...? Wh..what do I have to do...? Tell me Reikoku..TELL ME!!"
"Liam...I really dont know...attack relentlessly...without heisitaion."
"I did..."
"Well...then I dont know."
Liam slowly ripped his shattering mask off his face and threw it to the ground, then it shattered. Liam looked at his wound to see that the mask was starting to reform there...healing him.
"Reikoku...thank you..for finally showing him that he cant win...no matter what. That good always trumps over evil.."
"You're wrong...good doesnt trump over evil...evil trumps over good..until it consumes it self...giving good a chance to prevail."
"Well...whatever."
The rain slowly stopped and the gray clouds disappeared. As the sun shone brightly through the clouds.
Liam limped over to Reikoku extending his hand. Reikoku grabbed it. "You know Reikoku...in times like this..its best to let bygones be bygones. Reluctantly, this isnt one of those times." the creepiest smile in the world formed on Liam's face. "Cero." Reikoku quickly let go of Liam's hand only to get blasted in the chest. "I told you Reikoku...I will not lose to you! But I will not kill you...You see Reikoku you are so much fun...I've decided to let you live..only so we can continue this fun little game. So until next time..." And in an instant..Liam was gone.
"You...son of a bitch...Liam...there wont.." he coughed up blood. He looked at the blurry sky and let out a gasp of breath...and died.
"Tch..Tch...Tch..Poor Reikoku...it seems I have enjoyed the little game you and Liam played as well, so I cant let you die. No...I need both Datenshi but first I need that key." A person in an Arrancar coat slowly walked over to Reikoku and placed his hand over the wound...reviving Reikoku.
"be a next time.." Reikoku quickly raised up to see a man with brown hair and brown eyes. "Who the fuck are you."
"I'm a lot of things...A mastermind... A king...A savior...A hero...The man who just saved your life...a God."
Reikoku smiled. "Well "God" what do you need me for?"
"You're nothing...just a part of the plan..I need you for something...you'll know when the time comes...Reikoku the Fuzen Datenshi.."
"How do you know of my past?"
"Like I said...its all part of the plan...just like today..it was nothing more than a mere distraction.."
"Distraction from what?"
"Its all part of the plan...Young Datenshi..." the man slowly turned around and walked off.
"Well does this God of many talents have a name?"
((spaced for dramatic effect))
The man calmly turned around and smiled. "Sosuke Aizen."
Then in a blink of an eye..he was gone.
