Chapter Twenty Six: Kingdom of the Hollow King part Eight- final arch

(Recap)

Yasuhiro ordered that his army of hollows repair the kingdoms of the star princesses starting with Olivia's. Using the gates Yasuhiro built with the aid of the others he was able to create a doorway that they could use to travel between kingdoms.

Seeking means to test the loyalty of some of the others Yasuhiro set up a tournament of sorts to be hosted in the ruins of Olivia's kingdom. Seeking compeditors strong enough to fight against Ichigo Kurosaki he enlisted the aid of the former bount Ryo Utagawa and Aizens's beast Fura via a trade with Shuren. Both of Yasuhiro's competitors having had their powers greatly boosted from being turned into togabito. However in trade for these two Yasuhiro would have to kill Aya and Haseo Leyond a trade the hollow king gladly accepted.

After a brief battle with a possessed Keiti Yasuhiro took the star princesses to the Seashell galaxy where he'd put his plans into action.

(End Recap)

Yasuhiro and the star princesses along with Ichigo, Aya, and Haseo arrived at what was left of Olivia's kingdom. Several buildings had been reconstructed by Yasuhiro's hollows. They had already restored a quarter of the kingdom to normal.

"Thank you Yasuhiro!" Olivia said ecstatic that her kingdom was coming back to life.

"You're welcome Olivia. We plan to restore your palace last. Ichigo have you fully recovered? I've a task for you." Yasuhiro said.

"Yeh" Ichigo said before realizing why he had asked. The hollow that had attacked everyone before was here. He quickly drew his sword. "Is this some type of trap?" Ichigo said surprised by all of this.

"Don't rush to conclusions like that. Under the old law fights started must be finished fairly. Fighting on behalf the star princess is you Ichigo. You and Yoriyuki will battle in the ruins of Olivia's castle. Ichigo you are forbidden to use your hollow powers." Yasuhiro stated before his stunned crowd.

"What?" Ichigo said.

"Hey King my battle isn't with the star princesses it's with the star goddess! But don't worry I'll finish that fight soon enough." Yoriyuki said before leaving.

"Wait that's the hollow that attacked when Sarafina was possessed! Yasuhiro is he working for you!" Midori asked unsure if the culprit behind the destruction of the kingdoms was really Yasuhiro all this time.

"No, I'll explain to you how my authority over other hollows works after this ceremony is complete. As for Yoriyuki I owe you all an explanation. Please be patient as I must follow the laws of my people first." Yasuhiro replied answering Midori's question. "Ichigo Kurosaki you must fight as even I am bound by the laws of old. This is our equivalent of a ground breaking ceremony. You humans cut a ribbon with an oversized pair of scissors we finish old rivalries."

"So I have to fight because you're repairing Olivia's kingdom? You hollows have some strange traditions. Anyways that's fine by me but what of the others? Do I have to fight each time you go to repair a kingdom?" Ichigo said loosening up his guard.

"In short Yes, but I've found a loop hole for you. Your opponents will be Fura and Ryo Utagawa both have battles with you that have yet to complete. You will find them in the ruins of Olivia's castle. Defeat them and that will cover all the kingdom's ceremonies." Yasuhiro stated.

Ichigo nodded his head and departed for the castle. Much to Ichigo's surprise was two enemies he'd faced in the past but only fought one.

"Kurosaki Ichigo I owe you a quick demise. I've already gotten my revenge against Kariya now it's your turn." Ryo said turning a metal pole into a snake.

The large beast Fura, a thing Ichigo only saw once during Aizen's escape from soul society, took in a deep breath before breathing out several menos grande.

"Bankai!" Ichigo yelled. He didn't need his bankai but he had many opponents. Yasuhiro's loop hole of having him fight a small army alone was annoying to say the least.

Meanwhile Yasuhiro turned to the two arrancar, Haseo and Aya.

"You two I don't know how you returned to being arrancar but we've a long standing battle. You two come." Yasuhiro said taking them with him.

To be concluded…
