Hello all, with all my ideas about this little arc raging through my head it annoys me not to type it all out so…ya, heres the next chapter.
"N-naruto?" Nanao silently said looking at the figure standing where the blonde shinigami fell.
Sasuke stared at the figure as well, he looked down to see the shard Aizen dropped and was a bit shocked. Knowing that Nanao and the others could here him he said "This is bad…Aizen stabbed Naruto with a shard from the Hogyoku…he's half arrancar and half vizard…but he has no self control with the two beings struggling for control…he can strike anyone of us at any moment…" Sasuke said looking at Dante's body who was bleeding, piercing by one of the tails which now had black veins and a red streak on them.
Naruto looked to his right and upwards seeing the black cloaked and orange mask man he was once afraid of; Arashi the man who killed his second sensei Jiraiya, and the wielder of his zanpakuto. There were a lot of things he hated about that man and now he could do something about it with ease. He flashed stepped in front of Arashi who immediately and nonchalantly put his sword up to Naruto's neck.
Naruto gently grabbed the blade then in a rash and deep voice he said "That's my sword…" the blade turned white and five white spikes pierced through Arashi with enough force that it shattered his mask. He leaned closer then said "Great now I can see your face as I watch you die…"
Naruto grabbed the blade of his sword and yanked it backwards which ripped Arashi's arm clean off. He them placed his right hand on Arashi's chest, his arrancar hole was on the top of his right hand as a red orb formed in that arrancar hole. That hole made a cero, which blasted Arashi away, and thus the threat of Arashi was over.
"Bravo, bravo! I can't wait to see what you'll do next…Naruto…" Arturo said grinning as he extended his hand and a black beam in the form of a sword came out.
"Darkness…all I can see…is darkness…is this my sub conscious…tainted by the power of the Hogyoku…by becoming an…arrancar? Was this how Sasuke felt…I wonder." Naruto thought as he plummeted down into the darkness as he eventually fell, but there was no ground beneath him…just more darkness.
He blinked twice and saw two figures standing beside him, one was the spikey haired white man with the blue coat who was in Yamato, and the other had wavy red hair and a strapless black top with a orange bottom dress thing. She wore gloves to her elbows and extended her hand out to Naruto.
"Need a hand?" she asked her voice similar to Kyuubi's
Naruto grabbed her hand and lifted himself up "Kyuubi?" he asked
She nodded
Naruto looked over to the blue-coated man "Vergil…" the name felt awkward when he said it but he knew it was his name.
He nodded
Naruto looked behind him and saw a screen of some sort that was viewing what was happening in Las Noches. "Where are we?" he asked not able to keep his eyes off the screen.
"Well were in your sub conscious…you have been shunned from the Hogyoku…so have we all. It's a fusion of all our abilities…my massive amounts of energy…Vergil's swordsmanship and speed…your inner hollows well abilities so to say…and your memories and facial appearance." Kyuubi explained
"So were just stuck here?"
"Well…ya."
"I feel so useless…what if he destroys the wrong people…what if he turns on Yoroichi or Nanao!"
"There isn't much we can do about it kit…barriers have been placed by the Hogyoku so we can get in to control it and if you were to control it the power might over whelm you and you'll either get consumed again or just explode."
"You gotta be kidding me!" Naruto shouted as he walked until he felt a wall then used his reiatsu and placed his hands on it trying to break through.
Arturo and the hollowed Naruto began to clash blades, once Naruto thrusted his sword to the left to disconnect the clash the energy beam faded. Naruto then sent a punch straight into Arturo's gut making him fly high into the air. As he was flying Naruto began to flash step in a zig zagging pattern until he put his leg behind Arturo's need and grabbed his face with his hand with the arrancar hole. Instead of slamming him down he made another cero, which did the take down for him.
"His power…how much has it's increased…" Yoroichi uttered feeling Dante's presence standing beside her with some blood trickling from his stomach.
Dante kept his eyes fixed on the hollow Naruto then said: "When I first met him compared to my reiatsu I could hardly feel his…it was like a faint whisper but now I think mine is now the whisper…no man could hold that much reiatsu…it's impossible which raises the question…how is he doing it?"
"You little brat…" Arturo said as he got up his face a bit battered but it didn't faze him at all.
Naruto let out a laugh, with a distorted voice he darted downward towards Arturo who simply flash stepped away and watched as he crashed into the sand. Arturo grinned as he saw the ground that Naruto crashed glow red, black veins then stretched across the area as well.
"What the hell…" Yoroichi said as she looked at the black veins, then felt a rumbling in the ground "We have to get out of here, now!" Yoroichi said as she Dante Orihime and Nanao ran.
Nanao looked back to see Sasuke not make a move but still watch the fight, standing directly under the black vein. She stopped then began to shout his name, he looked over his shoulder as the black veins began to rise as tendrils of some sort, Nanao then ran but was pierced straight through the shoulder blade with one of the shadow things. The Uchiha stood on the vein as it lifted he remained calm and simply used it as a ride to get to Arturo, darkness engulfed his hand as he got closer. Nanao was also lifted and was then in Naruto's sights.
Naruto had blasted himself upwards with a mini cero, the black veins on his body stretched out and used as an attack to attempt and impale Arturo with spikey shadow tendrils. The tendrils that came to him he simply un-sheathed his zanpakuto and did rapid slices to chop them down, they then retreated back into Naruto. Once Sasuke got near Arturo he punched the air to send a dark fist at Arturo back fisted it away, little did he know that his fist was pure black. Once he found out Sasuke smiled and closed his fist to make Arturo's hand explode, and once the darkness retreated it wasn't there.
Arturo growled, while Sasuke chuckled he was then sliced in the stomach then wheel kicked into the ruins while a blast of reiatsu hit Sasuke hard making him cough up blood. The reiatsu was more powerful and wild then a regular arrancar or shinigami for that matter. The next tendril to come was the one Nanao was impaled on, Arturo simply sliced her then the tendril as he retreated back to Naruto.
"Hey kit, you might wanna see what Arturo just did…" Kyuubi said as she watched the screen and Naruto's futile attempts to break the barrier.
Naruto walked over to the screen since the screen was in first person he saw his hollow arms holding Nanao who was bleeding from the stomach and the shoulder. "W-what…happened to her!"
"She stopped to see Sasuke standing on one of your tendrils…and when it raised as she ran again it impaled her." Vergil explained
"Sasuke…" Naruto was surprised that he was still alive and paused the room than turned red as it shook wildly Naruto shouted then ran to the barrier and began to punch it, you could tell he was becoming drained from using his energy into trying to break this barrier.
"He's getting angry…" Vergil stated
"Obviously…" Kyuubi said as the two watched Naruto
"Hey I wouldn't do that Naruto, the more energy you waste here and you'll fade away giving this hollowed form one out of three controlled." A voice said as a hologram like figure came toward Naruto.
The figure was in fact Naruto's inner hollow who was wearing white shinigami robes and a black captain's haori, keeping the appearance of what Naruto was when he was a captain for that brief time.
"Weren't you fused with me…how are you here?" Naruto asked slowly stopping and panting
"I was split when Aizen stabbed you with the Hogyoku and automatically absorbed…but after awhile I developed enough energy to transmit my appearance and other stuff like a hologram to talk to you guys, aren't you all lucky?"
Kyuubi and Vergil paid no attention, but Vergil let out a low snarl.
"Awesome…" Naruto's inner hollow said as he looked at the screen. "Seems like your rage has gotten to that hollow form of you."
Naruto yelled while he held Nanao, the yell was distorted and made is reiatsu grow to an insane rate. He laid Nanao down and flash stepped toward Arturo and sent a barrage of slashes toward Arturo, making little cuts lightly come to his arms and everything. Arturo continued to parry his attacks, and after all the force is sword began to crack, Arturo side kicked Naruto then slashed him with an energy beam. He sheathed his sword and placed his hand on Naruto's chest, before he could do a cero Naruto had already stabbed Arturo through his stomach.
"I'm going to slice you into pieces…you trash…" Naruto said ripping his sword through Arturo's mid section then stabbed his shoulder blade, placing his foot on his chest and slicing his sword upwards.
Naruto took a sigh then began to slice repeatedly giving Arturo no chance to regenerate. He then pumped reiatsu into his blade and sliced even harder, he then pulled out Yamato and began to slice. He began to laugh which then turned into a menacing growled as he continued to slice, blood began to lightly get on his hollow "armor".
"This is for all those shinigami you killed Arturo the captains…the soul society…you ruined it…you destroyed Ukitake as well! I won't forgive you EVER!!" He then pumped a large amount of reiatsu into the swords and slashed the pieces that were Arturo.
"Woah…he just got owned…" Naruto's hollow form said
"He's just going to regenerate…" Vergil said
"How do you know?"
"Arrancar if chosen regeneration over than power, can regenerate insanely fast…while this thing was slashing him he was regenerating at small and steady rates…and now he has enough to regenerate once more fully at least…he wont have much energy to spend on regenerating his full body after that…he'll be more careful now."
Once Arturo regenerated fully he immediately let out a large black cero, which came hurdling toward Naruto who slammed both blades into the cero to try and send it at a different direction. Yamato began to crack as the cero became more intense and Naruto pumping more energy into the swords.
Arturo began to laugh "Has all your power gone that quickly, was that reiatsu just for show!?"
Naruto growled as his blades glowed red from heat and reiatsu, Naruto saw the black cero begin to consume him as he them simply spun around rapidly diving inside the cero. His hollow armor began to chip off and sometimes chip off in chunks as he dived into the most intense parts of the cero.
Vergil grabbed his sides and winced, Kyuubi immediately saw and asked what was happening to him, he said. "It's the sword…I take a beating just like it does…but if it breaks I'm set free…if It breaks I'll be able to help Naruto…but once that happens." Vergil shook off his pain like it never happened and breathed out as he began to fade. "I don't know what it'll do once he sees me and him alone…won't be pretty."
"Wait wouldn't that kill us!?" Naruto said a bit freaked out, but didn't get an answer as he faded away.
As Naruto saw Yamato break he simply let go of it and continued to spin rapidly, once he was out of the black cero void he slashed Arturo through the chest then spin kicked him back a ways. Naruto's hollow arm was chipped off greatly at the arms the chest and legs, revealing aqua tinted skin. Naruto growled and gripped his sword as his reiatsu raised once more and he dashed towards Arturo as they began to parry each others attacks.
The cero then simply dissolved as Vergil spun out of it, Yamato in pieces as Vergil sighed. He then took out a pair of gauntlets and greaves and dashed toward the two. He appeared behind Arturo and back-fisted him back, Naruto charged at Vergil and he axe kicked him downwards.
"Too easy…" Vergil said as he saw two red ceros come toward him.
Vergil back fisted one cero and stomped on the other, the greaves and gauntlets taking a bit of damaged but Naruto's cero was redirected at him and the other cero was directed at Aizen and Gin.
"This fight is getting out of hand…should we retreat?" Gin said calmly
"Not yet…I wanna see how this fight goes…" Aizen responded a bit interested even more now.
