William stared down the 5th Espada with cold eyes.
"Kurosaki, get back over to the others." He said without looking at him.
"Be careful, this guy is strong." Ichigo said as he got up.
"Tell me, how long have you been a captain?" Nnoitra asked. William rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I didn't come here to talk, I came to fight." He said. Nnoitra's face lite up in a huge smile.
"Well then, try not to disappoint me." He said as he opened his mouth to fire a cero at him.
"Brother look out!" Deion called.
"Relax Deion," He said as he drew his sword and blocked the cero with a swing.
"You forget that for almost 90 years, I was 3rd seat of 2nd division." He stated before he disappeared.
'What the hell?' Nnoitra said to himself, only for his skin to be broken.
'There's no way he could that!' the Arrancar thought.
"Man you have some tough skin, it took me over a thousand slashes to cut that one area." William said from behind the Espada.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Nnoitra demanded.
"I just said I had to cut over a thousand times, you must have bad hearing." The captain said with a smirk. This only made Nnoitra even angrier.
"There is no way that you can beat me! I am the strongest!" he shouted.
"But I thought you were #5?"
"Come again?" Nnoitra said dumbfounded at the statement.
"You said you are the strongest, but you don't hold the rank #1. How can you be the strongest if there are four people above you, and Also Aizen, Gin, and Tosen?" William said with a sly look. Deion, Ichigo, and Momo all facepalmed while Orihime thought about what he said.
"Captain William does have a point." She said.
"Orihime, I think he's just messing with him." Ichigo said.
"Oh." She said before they turned their attention back to the fight.
"Damn you bastard!" Nnoitra roared as he launched himself at William.
"Smile, Kurohime." The captain said quietly as his blade changed into a small black kunai. The massive sword and the tiny blade met as the two owners clashed and jumped back from each other.
"There is no way that piece of shit can stand up to my might!" the Espada roared as he charged once more. William jumped into the air and slashed at his neck.
"Just die shinigami!" Nnoitra shouted as he opened his mouth to use another cero.
"You just don't know when to quit do you?" William said as he dodged it and swung the kunai to create chains to burst out of the sand. Nnoitra used his oversized weapon to cut the chains before they could wrap around him.
"What was that bullshit? You must be weak if you need those pieces of shit to fight!" the 5th Espada roared as he charged forward and brought his blade down upon the captain.
"Nii-San!" Deion shouted.
"Stay back 6th seat, this fight is out of your league." William said as he could barely hold back the Arrancar. Ichigo watched both of the combatants very closely, noting every movement they made. He noticed the when William countered a strike, he would drop his reishi a little. Nnoitra would slow his blade down at the last second before every attack.
"They are both holding back." Ichigo said. Deion turned to face him. "What do you mean holding back?" he whispered.
"Both of them are either slowing down of weakening the force and power a strike should have." He said. Deion turned back to the fight and watched closely.
"Damn your right…"

"Alright, how we stop this fucking around and do some real fighting!?" Nnoitra suggested as he and William were in another blade lock.
"What do have in mind Arrancar?" William asked. Nnoitra broke the lock and jumped back a few feet.
"This!" He shouted as he lifted his oversized blade up.
"Pray, Santa Teresa!" the massive out pour of reishi exploded from the Espada. When the dust settled, Nnoitra gained an extra set of arms, which take on an insect-like carapace and clawed hands, with each hand holding a large scythe-like weapon as well. The scythes themselves resemble the appendages of a praying mantis, and have a small golden tassel at the end of each staff. He also gained a golden marking extending from his forehead to below his right eye, as well as a pair of horns on his head resembling a crescent moon, with his left horn longer than his right. He gains several white, tendril-like appendages around his torso which extend over the sides of his abdomen. His Hollow mask also changes, becoming torn, with the teeth extending over the hole itself.
"This can't be good." William said as his chest bursted with blood before he could blink.
"Nii-san!" Deion cried once more as he struggled to save his older brother, but Ichigo was holding him down.
"You are in no condition to fight!" The death berry shouted at him.
"Let me go Ichigo! I already lost Grimmjow, I'm not losing anyone else!" Deion roared. Momo came over and slapped him in the face.
"And do you think we want to lose you? Captain William can do this, I know he can." Momo said. Back on the battlefield, a heavily bleeding William looked at the ground as he watched his blood flow out of him.
'Well, I never thought fighting like Kenpachi was such a bad idea.' He thought.
"One small hit from my release and your already down captain? Pathetic!" Nnoitra snared as he kicked the 5th division captain in the face and hooked him with one of his blades. William took this chance to cut the arm off.
"Now who is pathetic?" it was then when Nnoitra began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" William asked.
"You! If there's one thing I can't stand, it's losers who keep on going even though they know they can't win!" he shouted as he instantly regenerated the arm William cut off and Launched him at the captain once more.
"You are weak, nothing to me! I should even have to use my release on a lowly creature as you shinigami! You will know who the strongest Espada is! Me, Nnoitra Gilga!" He declared as he charged a powerful cero. William's eyes narrowed as he quickly slashed his blade to match the cero.
"It's time I stop messing around." He said as the two attacks hit each other with overwhelming force. The dust blew all around the other as Orihime shielded them as best she could.
"He was holding back that much?" Deion exclaimed. William powered up and charge once more, only to be swatted away.
"You are nothing more than a fly to me pest." Nnoitra said as he stomped on William's chest.
'I can't win without doing bankai, but what if I lose control, I could hurt them in the cross fire.' He thought as he ignored the pain.
"I will not let you." A soft female voice said.
'Hime-Chan, you were listening?' he asked in his relaxed tone.
"Will you stop calling me that, and yes. I dislike this Arrancar now, kill him however you see fit. I shall restrict myself so I won't hurt anyone you don't want to die." She said coolly. William smirked as he caught Nnoitra's foot and stabbed him in it.
"YOU BASTARD!" the Espada roared in pain.
"You should know that all captains of the Gotei 13 are not weak as them over there." William said pointing at Deion and Ichigo.
"Hey!" Both of them exclaimed.
"As I was saying, you can be damn sure I'm not weak at all, so sit back and wait for your life to end." William said menacingly as he began to glow with a red aura. It was a feeling of evil that washed over everyone.
"Hell is a big place. You can find many things within it's gates. It was lucky, she found me." He explained. The sand began blow dangerously in every direction as William began to build up power.
"What do you think you are doing? Whatever you try, it won't help-."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" William snapped at him.
"Why should I, you are shit to me." When he finished that line, Nnoitra's face was full of fist when the 5th division captain punched him so hard, he flew into a tower.
"Pay attention, you might learn something." He said coldly. The evil feeling became darker and darker as William builds up power.
"What is he doing?" Ichigo asked. "I have no idea, Momo?" Deion looked at his Lieutenant. She shook her head,
"No, I have not seen this ever." She said.
"Master… this… feeling" Judo suddenly choked out.
'What is it?' he asked her.
"This power… it is… My sister!" she exclaimed. Back on the battlefield, William held his small Zanpakto up to the sky.
"This is the power of a captain of the Gotei 13." Up above, storm clouds began to form.
"Bankai." He muttered as lightning struck the area. His kunai began to grow. First a curve formed in the blade, stretching out a few feet. Then, the bottom of the blade became a staff. A hood formed on his Shihakusho under his Haori, and it pulled itself up over his eye.
"This was why for the past 30 years before I became a captain, I was know as in 2nd division as 'The Maggot's nest Reaper'" He stated.
"Kurohime no eien no yami." He declared. The sky was darken out with his scythe slanged on his back, William walked towards the Espada.
"Let's go for round two now." He said as he swung the scythe around, nearly taking off Nnoitra's head if he didn't block. William move the large bankai very quickly as he slashed at the Arrancar with incredible speeds. The back blast blow huge amounts of sand all around.
"Damn you shinigami! You think you are better than me? You are just like the rest! Every fucking one of them, they have the gall to take pity on me. And they don't even know how much they're hurting me by doing it. I don't do 'mercy'. Strong, weak, infant, monster. I just smash them all to pieces. I don't give them the chance to get up a second time." He ranted as he grew another pair of arms. William narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Arrancar.
"You are one sad creature. I feel almost sadden to kill. You are a dog that has been kick, but I'm here to put you out of this hell you call life." He said coldly as he jerked his scythe upward and made a deep gash across Nnoitra's face.
"Tell me Nnoitra, why does a being like you serve Aizen?" Nnoitra regain his stance and locked blades with him before answering.
"Ain't any chance of salvation for us. Never has been. With or without Aizen, that's never gonna change. If there's one thing I'm grateful to that guy for, it's the fact that he gave me power. Thanks to that I've been able to savor greater battles than ever before. I'm gonna be strong. Stronger than anyone. If I'm gonna fight the ultimate enemy, then there can't be anyone else stronger than me. I'll take 'em all out. No matter what it takes." The Arrancar stated.
"Enough of this talk shinigami, let's see which one of us dies first!" a cero charged at the tip of his tongue, but when he fired, William caught it with his bare hand.
"How? What the hell are you pulling?" Nnoitra demanded. William smirked as he rested his bankai on his shoulder.
"Kurohime, in shikai or bankai, has this ability to suck out by opponent's reishi slowly. Soon, all of it will be gone, then I'll kill you with it in one massive attack." He said.
"You bastard." Nnoitra cursed as he held up all six of his arms.
"THEN I WILL CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!" he shouted. William was caught off by the outburst and felt a blade enter his back, just missing his spine and heart. He coughed up a small amount of blood.
"Captain!" Deion and Momo both called. Deion grabbed his Zanpakto and tried to get up.
"I got to help him!" He exclaimed, but Momo pressed her lips to his to make him stop.
"I want to fight with as much as you do, but he told us not to." She said.
"Look." She pointed out. Deion turned to his brother get back up.
"You're getting weaker Nnoitra." He said. In rage, Nnoitra charged blindly at the captain.
"Bad move." He stated as his blade became darker.
"Reaper's endgame." A large creature sprang from the tip of the scythe with one over four time his size.
"This is the end, farewell Arrancar." A huge black beam shot from the scythe, striking Nnoitra. But when it cleared, Nnoitra was still standing.
"I'm still alive you N-." his last word was cut off when the bankai scythe was dropped and it transformed into an altar. At the end of it was a woman in a black kimono. She gave the Arrancar an eerie smile.
"You soul is mine." She stated matter of factly. All Nnoitra could do was watch as hundreds of chains wrapped around him in pulled him into a black void, sealing him for thousands of years in the hands of Kurohime…

The sky finally broke with light as Captain William sealed his bankai. The stares of the four others he was fighting to protect met his cold eyes.
"You guys going to get out of here or what?" He asked them.
"Bro- I mean captain, what do you mean?" Deion asked.
"You were sent in to rescue the Lieutenant, I was sent to deal with the Espada." He said.
"Now take Kurosaki, Hinamoir, and Inoue and go. But if you may, Miss Inoue." William said as he pointed at his wounds.
"Yes sir!" Orihime resounded as she made her way over to him. When she was about half way, they all heard a buzzing noise. A man with a lazy look on his face, and a wolf bone mask fragment, appeared out of nowhere.
"Sorry, I have to burrow this." He said. The guys all drew their sword and charged, but he had already grabbed Orihime and disappeared. All three of them struck at the same time, but missed.
"That did not just happen!" Ichigo said. Deion also looked up in disbelief.
"No, no, no, no!" He started to shout out. Momo began to scan the skies, searching for the orange hair girl and the Arrancar who took her. Then Ichigo picked up on a familiar reishi.
"Ulquiorra." He hissed.
"Come on you two, let's go!" Ichigo called to Deion and Momo. They both nodded as they all jumped into the sky, but not before Momo scoped up Nel. William watched the three of them head for one of the far towers.
'Good luck… You're going to need it…'

With just over 12 hours to spare! Chapter 34 and we conclude this part of the Arrancar saga. I felt that Captain William needed to show off his power so I had him fight Nnoitra. This will be the last time we will see him for now. Also, you will find out just what happened during his past and how it could effect this whole war.
New moves!
Kurohime no eien no yami (Eternal Darkness of the Black Princess): This might be the evilest bankai besides the old man's. he looks like a western Grim reaper in this bankai. There is a scythe in an anime call Black rock shooter, he bankai is based off of that.
Reaper's Endgame: his most powerful attack. It takes anyone caught in the beam and sentence to hell, or to be Kurohime's play thing. You are basically dead if you are the one she gets or sends to hell. It can backfire on William if she does not take the victim, so she will take anyone else as payment.
