Chapter 21
Renji and Gohan 25% vs Szayel
"Dammit!" Renji yelled. Things were not going well for the powerful soul reaper. "If only I still had my bankai. I would've finished this by now!"
"WAAAAUUGGH! Wh-where am I!?" Dondochakka screamed, looking around for Renji. As soon as he saw him, "REEENNNJJJIII! Where are we!"
"Oh, right... he's still here..." Renji muttered in his head. "I'm a little busy, you freak, now stand back."
"F-FREAK!? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO MEAN TO ME!? I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU!?" The large arrancar cried.
"Sigh, we're back to the comedy routine, aren't we." Szayel moaned. "This is getting boring. Don't you have any other attack pattern that I haven't seen yet?"
"Tch. Shut the hell up!" Renji yelled.
"Is that your response to everything, soul reaper?" Szayel asked.
"RRRRAAAUUUGGHH!" That infuriating, know-it-all espada is really pushing the pineapple head. Renji launched his shikai at him in a blind rage. "That'll shut you up." Renji said, as the sword was able to cut the espada.
"...Interesting. Your power increased when I angered you. Is that your true power?" Szayel asked.
"It's pure will power!" Renji yelled.
"Ugh, an answer only an idiot would give..." Szayel said.
"Hey, shut up, jerk!" Yelled a voice, causing everyone to turn around.
"G-Gohan!? What are you doing here!?" Renji asked.
"Isn't it obvious!? I'm here to help you. And to be honest, you could really use it." Gohan said.
"OH, SHUT UP ASSHOLE!" Renji yelled, throwing a nearby stone at the half saiyan's face.
"Oww... Sorry..." Gohan whimpered, holding his face.
"Oh, geez, here we go again." Szayel said.
"Shut up, you!" Renji yelled.
"By the way, what exactly are you? I didn't even sense you were there until you showed yourself." Szayel asked. This was an interesting specimen, after all.
"My name is Son Gohan, a half human, half..." Gohan started.
"SHUT IT! Let's get this over with, and then we'll help Rukia and your friend." Renji interrupted.
"S-sorry..." Gohan apologized, then suddenly raised his power to his (25%) maximum.
"Hmm, I was expecting something a little... more." Szayel said, with a disappointed look in his eye.
Not a word came out of the clone, as he jumped at the espada with everything he had. Surprising the espada as he was able to land a blow. "Hah, now who's slow." Renji taunted.
"Shut it, soul reaper. He's the one who hit me, not you." Szayel said.
"Grr... I'VE HAD- Calm down, Renji. Can't you see he's playing you? He's making you mad on purpose." Gohan said.
"Huff, huff, thanks, kid, I needed that. By the way, did you win your battle?" Renji asked.
"Er, kinda. Why?" Gohan asked.
"If you won, then you shouldn't have a problem dealing with this guy, right?" Renji continued.
"Um, I suppose so..." Gohan whispered.
"Well, what are you waiting for? I would do it myself, but I don't really habe a bankai right now." Renji said.
"Would you be mad at me if I said I split my power to three clones, so now I'm only at 25%?" The half breed chuckled, as he put his hand behind his head.
If looks could kill, Gohan wouldn't even exist at that moment. Renji was not angry, however. He was only unamused at his aquaintences incompetence. Renji was going to scold Gohan for coming into battle unprepared, but was picked up by the giant masked arrancar. "Renji, Gohan's come to save us! Can you believe it!?" Dondochakka exclaimed.
"Let go of me!" Renji yelled.
The clone continued his assault on the espada, who had been laughing at his enemies foolish quarrels. Regaining his composure, the espada had dodged the clones punch, who then followed up with a swift kick to the side. Damaging the espada, Gohan #3 backed away. "MASENKO-HAA!" He yelled with the full intention of knocking his opponent out. The blast was hit, dead-on, point blank. "Phew... that guy's tough."
"I'm not finished yet, boy." The espada said, through the smoke. He was right, he's not done, but it was obvious he was injured.
"I know, that's why I didn't say 'was.'" Gohan #3 said.
"Heh heh, I forget, what are you exactly?" Szayel asked.
"My name is Son Gohan, a half Human, half Saiyan." The clone answered.
"What are you doing with that girl, kid!?" Grimmjow asked.
"Umm, taking her back with me..." Gohan #2 said.
"I see... That's too bad, since I need to borrow her for a bit." Grimmjow said.
"Hmph, and what if I said no?" The young half saiyan said.
"Well, I was hoping you'd say that. To be quite honest, I wanted to kick your ass since the first time I saw you." Grimmjow stated.
"Fine then. Orihime, hide, ok." Gohan #2 said.
"Umm, ok. I'll just... leave you both to it." Orihime said.
"Tell me something before we start. What do you need Orihime for?" Gohan #2 asked.
"I need her to bring Ichigo back to full strength. He's pretty tired after his fight with Dordonii." Grimmjow said.
"Wait... you want to heal Ichigo?" The clone asked.
"Yeah, got a problem with that?" The espada responded.
"Well, if that's what you wanted, you should've just said so." The clone said. "Here, I'll go with you."
"Tch, fine, you can come if you want. Just don't get in my way." Grimmjow said.
The end of Chapter 21.
I apologize for any readers that are still waiting for an update. I haven't had much chance to work on this story since I've had so many things I needed to do, like school, which isn't over for a few weeks. Graduation is just around the corner. Wish me luck
