Notice: Please read the entire chapter, not just certain parts.

Warning: This is a very brutal story with a lot of deaths and gross scenes. This chapter is barely rated T. If you have a weak stomach I would advise some caution with reading this chapter. I cannot stress that enough as this chapter contains one of the more gross scenes in this story.

Recap: After Sosuke Aizen's brother broke Aizen out of prison and resurrected the Espada. However, Aizen killed his brother moments later; but not before some of Aizen's enemies were resurrected also. After Stark retrieved Aizen's sword, Aizen decided to invade Hueco Mundo and send some members of the Espada to invade the Soul Society as well. In Hueco Mundo, Kageroza deflected Toshiro's bankai, Stark defeated Kyoraku and Ukitake but allowed them to live, Renji defeated Moe, and Byakuya began his battle with Ulquiorra. In the Soul Society, Tsukishima effortlessly defeated his four opponents; Ginjo had the upper hand against his opponent, Shinji. However Tsukishima then interfered with their battle with the intent on having Shinji die. Sui Feng continued to battle evenly with Ggio, Poww forced Iba to retreat and began to pursue him, Isane defeated Charlotte Chuhlhourne, and Komamura battled Aaroniero, who assumed the body of Gin Ichimaru. Aaroniero severely wounded Komamura when Kaien Shiba arrived. Kaien told Komamura to help his lieutenant. Kaien then said that he would fight Aaroniero claiming that this was a personal matter. Komamura proceeded to approach Poww and unleashed his bankai. Retsu Unohana battled Abirama Redder and Findorr Calius. After pleading with Abirama to stop attempting to attack Unohana, Abirama claimed that he would kill Unohana and then her lieutenant. This forced Unohana to reluctantly kill Abirama, causing Findorr to fight Unohana for revenge. Back in Hueco Mundo, Shuhei Hisagi battled the Espada Nnoitra Gilga, and Hisagi was forced to unleash his newly developed bankai, with the ending result being both of them falling to the ground unconscious. Nnoitra regained consciousness and prepared to deal the finishing blow to Hisagi, when Gin revealed himself and told Nnoitra to walk away. Nnoitra refused and Gin activated his Bankai response. With one blow Gin defeated Nnoitra. Hisagi regained consciousness to see this and Gin complemented Hisagi on his newly developed bankai. Meanwhile Mayuri and Szayel Aporro continued their rematch. After using a combination of his zanpakto and resurrection power, Szayel Aporro was able to wound Mayuri in the chest, claiming that all of Mayuri's precautions are no longer any use to him.

Chapter 36: The Mad Scientist Laughs

Location: Soul Society

Current Date: First Day of Summer

Szayel Aporro picked up the stick and jabbed it into the chest of the Mayuri voodoo doll. Within a second, blood spurted out of Mayuri's chest.

Szayel Aporro smiled and said, "I bet you did not see that coming Soul Reaper. You should prepare yourself, the act has just begun."

"You do not impress me Espada." Said Mayuri, "You just annoy me."

"I have spent the last three months wondering what I was going to do to you when I incapacitated you, but my mind is clear. "said Szayel Aporro. "You made me feel torturous pain for what felt like a century, so I am going to do the same to you."

Szayel Aporro moved the stick up into the air before jabbing it into the right arm of the Mayuri voodoo doll. Blood spurted out of Mayuri's arm and both Szayel Aporro and Mayuri grinned.

Szayel Aporro noticed Mayuri's grinned and asked him why he was grinning despite the wounds he was receiving. Mayuri responded by asking Szayel Aporro in a pleasant town,

"Did you seriously expect I would go down with that pathetic of a fight? I mean maybe I would lose that badly if I was blind like Tosen, but just thinking that I would lose like that is insulting."

Szayel Aporro asked Mayuri what he was talking about, Mayuri responded by saying,

"When one of your purple extensions engulfed me, I fused a little invention of mine with that extension. I jabbed that extension with a needle full of a special kind of poison. A custom kind of poison." A smile grew on Mayuri's face and he said, "The main effect of the poison is to turn those extensions on you against you. I am not stupid, I figured out the last time we fought that all of those extensions are inter connected."

Suddenly the extensions on Szayel Aporro began to grow larger and larger. Szayel Aporro said in a panicked tone, "What the hell."

Mayuri smiled as the extensions continued to grow larger and Szayel Aporro fell to the ground unable to sustain the weight of the extensions on his body. Mayuri then said in a calm tone,

"The poison was also specifically designed to ensure that, no matter how large those extensions grow they will not burst. I cannot say whether or not your own extensions cannot crush you to death, but they will make sure you cannot stand up."

Szayel Aporro then said, "I though you would do this." Szayel Aporro swung his sword at the extension that was stabbed with the needle containing Mayuri's poison. The extension separated from the wings on Szayel Aporro's body and lay on the ground. Suddenly the rest of the extensions began to shrink and Szayel Aporro stood up again.

Szayel Aporro said to Mayuri, "That was a noble effort Soul Reaper, but I was even prepared for that." (if this was on television, this is where the episode cuts to commercial… and with the paragraph below the episode returns from commercial)

Szayel Aporro said, "A couple of weeks ago I made a precaution of my own that if you somehow managed to take control of all of my extensions, I would be able to rid your control by destroying the soul extension you managed to take over first. The same goes for any extension that you infected or poisoned."

Mayuri said, "I must admit, you thought this out more than I would have ever imagined Espada."

Szayel Aporro said, "Your right about that. Anyways where was I before this little incident took place. Ohh yeahhh, thatss right. I was torturing you."

Szayel Aporro picked up the stick and plunged it into the chest of the Mayuri voodoo doll. More blood spurted out of Mayuri's chest. Mayuri looked at the wounds he had sustained and frowned. More blood then spurted out of Mayuri's chest as Szayel Aporro had once again jabbed the stick into the chest of the Mayuri voodoo doll.

Szayel Aporro then said to Mayuri, "I bet you are starting to wonder how you are still alive. The reason is simple. My resurrection power has many perks that makes it stand out, but it has one con. I cannot deal the fatal blow with my resurrection power. That still must be done with my sword, a cero, or a poison. There are probably a couple of other ways I could murder you, but I want to stick to those three."

Szayel Aporro jabbed the stick into the chest of the Mayuri voodoo doll for the fourth time before jabbing the stick into the left hand of the voodoo doll. Szayel Aporro then said,

"This was the pain I felt when you defeated me four years ago. I hope you are savoring it Soul Reaper."

Mayuri then said, "I sure am Espada. I sure am."

Szayel Aporro then said, "Good, now savor some more." Szayel Aporro jabbed the stick into the left hand of the Mayuri voodoo doll before jabbing the stick into the chest of the Mayuri voodoo doll for the fifth time. Never the less, Mayuri still barred a small grin on his face.

"That grin on you face irritates me." Said Szayel Aporro. "I think I know a way to remove it."

Szayel Aporro placed the stick onto the left cheek of the Mayuri voodoo doll and proceeded to dig the stick into the left cheek of the Mayuri voodoo doll.

All off the flesh on Mayuri's left cheek proceeded to feel and fall off. At last, the grin on Mayuri's face was gone. Blood was the only thing visible on the left side of Mayuri's face. Blood was the only thing covering the jaw bone on Mayuri's face. Mayuri began panting for air before falling on his side.

Szayel Aporro said, "This is normally the time when I would finish someone in your position off, but you have not suffered a century of agony. This does not satisfy, so I will not deal the finishing blow just yet."

At that moment a figure dashed behind Szayel Aporro at an incredible speed. A wound appeared on the back of Szayel Aporro's neck with blood oozing out of it.

Nemu Kurotsuchi stood behind Szayel Aporro with her sword raised.

Nemu said, "Dam, I missed. I was aiming to decapitate your head arrancar but it is still in one piece." Nemu then turned to Mayuri and said, "I am sorry Captain, but it is time we lieutenants began to give some positive help to you all."

Mayuri then said to Nemu, "You lieutenants. What exactly do you mean by you lieutenants?"

Nemu said to Mayuri, "I am not the only lieutenant that has decided to interfere in a battle."

As this is going on Isane Kotetsu flash stepped next to Shukuro Tsukishma, who was standing right next to Shinji Hirako and Kugo Ginjo.

Back where Nemu stood behind Szayel Aporro, Szayel Aporro grinned and said,

"I don't care whether or not you want to join this fight Soul Reaper. It won't change the outcome. You are all weaker than I am and that is all that matters. You and your Captain are going to die right here and everyone one of your allies are going to join you. Whether your allies are in Hueco Mundo or here in the Soul Society, they will all die. All of your fates have been determined, no one can save you."

As Szayel Aporro was saying this, two Soul Reapers ran inside a garganta. Those two Soul Reapers were Ichigo Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara. Ichigo Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara were running to Hueco Mundo.

TO BE CONTINUED

Wow I managed to release this chapter on time; however the next chapter will probably not be released for around a week because of a personal event going on in my life.

One thing I hope you all realized while reading is that I pointed out where the chapter would cut to a commercial if this was an episode. That is because I treat each chapter like it was an episode for bleach. Now while I know some chapters are too long or short too take the length of an episode. That is how I try and format my chapters, with a four-minute recap followed by two nine-minute halves. Just though you all should know and I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and thank you to everyone who has reviewed this story so far.
