As soon as the order came, the arena was bathed in chaos, keeping Cooler's orders in mind the team divided into the previously specified groups. Ichigo, Ishida and Yoruichi went to the left, Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Aizen went to the right, and the Captains moved straight ahead.

The Captains stopped their advance when they saw Universe 3's Narirama spinning towards them at great speed.

"I'll take care of him." Kenpachi eagerly announced, however Tōshirō stopped him

"What!?" the eye patched Captain growled

"It's too dangerous to attack him head on. We can risk any heavy injuries so soon."

"Don't be so sure about that." Someone laughed from behind them

The Captain of the 10th and 11th Division turned around coming face to face with Botamo and Magetta, Tōshirō looked back at Narirama and saw that they were being cornered by their opponents, even if he was sure Narirama would simply go through all of them.

"Can I fight now?" Kenpachi growled, sarcastically

"Take one, and I'll take the other."

"Fine." Kenpachi said, lunging at Botamo

Byakuya starred down the incoming Universe 3 fighter, he drew symbols in the air with his hands before saying "Bakudō #9. Geki", a red energy engulfed Narirama who was frozen in place with his arms still raised to his side. The spell itself was weak, and Byakuya knew it wouldn't last, but he already had that detail in mind as Hit landed on Narirama's left hand and Basil landed on the right. The impact alone was enough to dissipate the red energy and throw the modified fighter off of balance, taking advantage of the opening Byakuya followed it up with "Hadō #33. Sōkatsui". The barrage of blue flames swept over Narirama but failed to hit the other two fighters to quickly made their escapes.

Botamo threw several punches at Kenpachi who easily avoided each blow, following it by hitting the bear in the face with his free hand and pushed him into the ground. Botamo simply rolled back to his feet and went back on the attack, going head first into a Captain's downwards slash, it hit him in the shoulder and was simply bounced back.

"Give it up. Your attacks won't affect me." Botamo remarked, with a confident tone

Much to his surprise his opponent was unfazed, on the contrary his grin became wider and he attacked him once again. Trying to damage Kenpachi Botamo fired a blast directly into his face, the Captain however took the blast and kept on the attack, raining several sword strikes on the Universe 6 fighter. Going for a left hand Botamo saw his efforts fail once again, as Kenpachi grabbed on to his hand and pulled him towards him, moving his blade towards Botamo at the same time, trying to stab the bear. Using his free hand Botamo punched Kenpachi in the gut, finally getting some separation between himself and the madman, once more he opened fire bathing the Shinigami in several blasts.

Meanwhile Tōshirō was fighting Magetta, and had found that most of his attacks were unable to faze his opponent albeit he had yet to use any of his ice related abilities on him.

"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens, Hyōrinmaru."

Unleashing his Shikai Tōshirō sent a dragon shaped flow of ice in the direction of the Metalman, who replied by firing a stream of lava at it effectively neutralizing the ice base attack. The Shinigami went around Magetta while he distracted and did a downwards slashing motion releasing a wave of ice that hit his opponent, however given Magetta's natural body temperature the ice quickly began to melt. The Captain raised his opened hands towards the Metalman and called forth his next attack "Bakudō #63. Sajō Sabaku", a rope of yellow energy wrapped around Magetta immobilizing the Metalman's upper body.

"Leave the rest to me." Byakuya said, approaching the young Captain

Botamo had just dodged one of Kenpachi's blows when he saw the vulnerable Magetta, knowing that they had made a mistake by involving themselves in such a drawn out battle so early on he decided to retreat.

"Retreat!" he shouted, getting Magetta's attention

Upon hearing his teammate's command, Magetta began to release high amounts of steam in an obvious attempt to cover their escape, much to the surprise of the Captains the steam cloud grew inside rather quickly.

"No need to go after them." Tōshirō pointed out, with Byakuya nodding in agreement

Botamo was ready to jump into the cloud, which meant that for a moment his eyes were off Kenpachi, had it been any other time it would have been fine, but then he felt it. The sensation was almost alien to him, something that he was sure he had never felt, pain, and not the pain that came from being sent into the ground. Looking at his left shoulder, his eyes widened, a small cut decorated it, the damage was shallow but it was there, for the first time in his life Botamo saw his own blood.

"What!? I thought you said nothing could damage Botamo!" Champa protested, looking at Vados

"I thought so to. I guess everything has its limit." the Angel replied, with a somewhat surprised look on her face

"Your arrogance will be your down fall, Champa." Cooler remarked

"What did you say!?" Champa growled back

"Your fighters underestimated my forces. So, allow me to educate you, that madman is Kenpachi Zaraki. Captain of the 11th Division in the Gotei 13. And there isn't a fighter in this Tournament he can't cut." Cooler roared, making sure all of the Gods heard him

"You seem to have grown rather fond of his abilities, Lord Cooler." Zeke remarked, in a low tone

"Silence." Cooler growled back

The maniacal laughter of the Captain brought him back to his senses, and once more bathing Kenpachi in blasts Botamo jumped into the safety of the steam cloud, making his needed escape.

"No, you don't!" Kenpachi growled, running into the cloud not wanting to let Botamo escape

"Should we go after him?" Mayuri asked

"Let the steam dissipate. Or we may end up splitting up." the young Captain replied

"Lilibeu of Universe 10 has dropped out." the Grand Priest announced

Surprisingly Kenpachi managed to chase both Universe 6 fighters out of the cloud and to another area of the arena. Magetta, who had freed himself from his binds, turned to face the Shinigami, while Botamo fell on his ass at the sight of Kenpachi, his face distorted in an expression of pure fear.

"Y-You monster! H-How did you manage to h-hurt me!?" Botamo cried out, his hand on the small cut

"Just had to adjust my strength and movement to your power." Kenpachi replied in a bored tone

"But is that all you can do?" he growled, raising an eyebrow at Botamo

Kenpachi looked down at his fallen foe, his expression transmitted a total loss of his will to fight, how boring to think he had gotten excited over the prospect of fighting this bear, when in the end his ability was reduced to one annoying ability.

"What a pain…" Kenpachi sighed, being interrupted by a kick to the face which sent him stumbling into the ground

All eyes went to the new comer, it was Majora from Universe 4, luckily for Botamo and Magetta his attention seemed to be focused on the Shinigami, so the duo took the opportunity and left them to their fight.

Aizen and his group had also come across enemies, he was dealing with Jimizu from Universe 2, while Ulquiorra and Grimmjow were facing, Chappil and Hop respectably. Grimmjow, who had yet to draw his Zanpakutō, was in a heated exchange of blows with Hop, who he had to admit wasn't all that bad at keeping up with him.

"Not bad pretty boy. But, let's see how you handle this!" Hop growled, bringing her claws down on the Arrancar

Grimmjow quickly drew his blade, using it to block her attack, following it up with a spinning kick sending her crashing into the ground.

"Not too bad yourself, pussycat."

Ulquiorra hit Chappil in the gut with his opened hand, with no result, the Arrancar followed it up with a quick to the side of the head that had the same result, jumping away from the Universe 9 fighter, Ulquiorra watched on as he laughed.

"Were you even trying? I didn't feel any of that." Chappil laughed

Chappil lunged at the Arrancar, throwing a right hand at Ulquiorra, who vanished using Sonido just to reappear above his opponent firing a Cero down on him, before landing behind the resulting cloud of smoke. A hand sprung from the smoke, making its way towards the Arrancar's throat, having Ulquiorra's left hand to block the incoming attack the Universe 9 fighter spun around trying to hit the Arrancar with his tail. In reply Ulquiorra let go of his hand, and grabbed on to his tail followed by pulling Chappil towards him, when the dragon like fighter got close enough he took aim for his face and fired a point-blank Cero.

Jimizu used his Instant Transmission to move around Aizen, using the fact he was too fast for his opponent to react to try and get a hit in on him, however so far, his efforts had failed, but he attributed this to his relatively low power level. Still he continued, since he knew that even the strongest of opponents would eventually make a mistake and be open to one of his attacks.

"I must commend you. Even if you aren't able to detect where I am, you have been doing a marvelous job keeping up with my attacks." he remarked

Suddenly it was an if a mountain had fallen on him, the air grew thicker and heavier, so much so he was forced to his knees, unable to use his technique. Slowly his head forced itself up to look at the new approaching Aizen, the Shinigami stopped just a few feet from him with a kind and understanding expression.

"Instant Transmission, I am rather familiar with that technique at this point. But at your level, you simply don't have enough power to use in your attacks, in order to make your strategy effective, against opponents like me. Hadō #31. Shakkahō" the resulting red orb hits the Yardrat full force, sending him flying out of the arena

"Jimizu of Universe 2 has dropped out." the Grand Priest announced

Hop was sent flying into her teammate, who much to her shock had a few burnt marks on him, she redirected her eyes back to Grimmjow, the Arrancar had a toothy grin as he walked slowly towards her.

"We need to get out of here." she whispered, understanding the seriousness of their situation

"Do you need any assistance?" Aizen asked the Arrancar

"Shut your mouth, Aizen. This is my fight." Grimmjow growled back

"I wouldn't dare getting in your way. That is why I asked, Grimmjow." his creator said calmly

"Jump!" Chappil ordered

Both Universe 9 fighters jumped, with Chappil unleashing a wave of fire on the trio, believing that his attack was enough to distract his opponents, both Chappil and Hop landed and began to run away. They didn't get far as Ulquiorra appeared before them, the Arrancar went for Hop hitting her in the gut with his opened hand, sending her flying into the edge of the arena. Chappil fired another wave of fire which his opponent masterfully avoided, replying with a kick that sent Chappil towards the edge of the arena.

"D-Dammit…" he hissed, grabbing on to his gut as he staggered back to his feet

"To think I would go out like this." Hop added

"Cero." was the last thing Ulquiorra said, before blasting them from the arena

"That was my prey." Grimmjow protested

"Chappil and Hop of Universe 9 have dropped out." the Grand Priest announced

"Impossible! He eliminated 2 fighters in a row…" Roh gasped

His eyes went to Goku's fight with the Trio De Dangers, just to see the other members of his Universe that were making sure no one would help Goku be taken out of the arena with a single powerful blast.

"I can be! Who dares…" Sidra protested, looking for the culprit, when Hisada started laughing

"Good work, darling!"

The Trio De Dangers stopped their attack to look at the one that had attacked their universe, Bardock slowly made his way towards them, with a serious expression and his arms to his side.

"Don't stop because of me. The only reason I took all those guys out, was because they thought I was going to interfere." Bardock said

"Hey, Bardock!" Goku greeted

"Do you happen to know where Frieza is?" his father asked

"No."

"I see."

Just like that Bardock was gone, after this it didn't take long for the rest of Universe 9 to be eliminated, with the last member eliminating himself so as to escape Frieza's torture. Per the rules, they were all automatically transported back to their Universe.
