Ok...This chapter was supposed to be Tōshirō vs. Archangelo. I worked a good half-day on the chapter, done very well...then the power on my laptop dies before I could charge it...Now if that was the only issue fine, it's got back up saves and stuff...but it somehow corrupted my word program and now it refuses to open! T_T I can not access ANY of my Documents and It's driving me Crazy! I'm taking it to some Computer guys tomorrow to see if they can fix it, but till then I wrote this chapter (Which I completely forgot I needed to do) on the Doc Manger here on fanfiction so you guys don't have to wait to long between chapters.

Reveiw Below, let me know.

ALMOST FORGOT *SPOILER WARNING* Chojiro sasakibe has abiltys shown in the Managa and not the anime yet so I'm just warning ya about that!


Leonardo stayed above Korin in the trees and fired kunai knives down below at him. Korin slashed away at the kunai and jumped to reach Leonardo. Every time Korin got close, Leonardo would just jump higher and to another tree.

"It's amusing." Leonardo spoke. "Seeing you try in futility to attack me."

"Maybe you should fight like a man!" Korin snapped.

"Quick to temper." Leonardo replied. "I'm having a blast playing with you."

"SHUT UP!" Korin shouted. The blade of Korins Zanpaktuō began to glow with a black aura.

"What is that?" Leonardo asked himself.

Korin held the Zanpaktuo up and held it with both hands. "Kage Sōkon!" Korin slashed the air in front of his with his sword, releasing thin wave of black energy that clean cut through everything in it's path. The wave cut through the trees at angles causing them to come crumbling down around the area. Leonardo disappeared into the debris of falling branches, leafs, and trunks and vanished from sight.

"Damn it!" Korin said as he looked around for his enemy. "Where'd he go?"

As Korin searched for Leonardo, the Peccatore signore hid under a open space beneath some debris, keeping his Presence down to minimum.

*I wasn't expecting that.* Leonardo thought. *I guess I should quit playing around and-Hm?* He sensed another fight nearby, not going to well. *Carla seems to be having some trouble.*


Carla di Sfarzoso held her bleeding arm as she stared down Chōjirō Sasakibe. Carla was cut up and injured all over, while Sasakibe was untouched.

"You are a pain in the ass." Carla sneered.

"You are the one who wanted this fight." Sasakibe said. "It's not to late to surrender or retreat."

"BITE ME!" Carla snapped. She threw one of her scythes at Sasakibe's head which he parried with his sword. The scythes chain then wrapped itself around the sword and Carla used the leverage to hold the sword down. Carla then leaped into the air, holding the other scythe ready to strike down on Sasakibe.

"Hadō 63 Raikōhō." Sasakibe chanted and fired a stream of Lighting out of his left palm at Carla. Carla acted quickly and pulled back loosening up the chain around Sasakibe's sword from the chain. "Now behold the true power of Gonryōmaru."

Sasakibe held his sword, pointed strait at Carla. The swords tip sparked and a bolt of lightning fired out of the sword. Carla called back her other scythe and used both the block the lightning bolt. The Bolt struck Carla's Zanpaktuō, shocking her hands and forcing her to drop her Zanpaktuō. Sasakibe then kicked her out from under her feet. Once Carla landed on her back, Sasakibe had his blade pointed at her neck ready to cut.

"I am a gentleman and I am giving you this one chance." Sasakibe stated. "Surrender and I'll let you live. You will be taken captive and interrogated-"

"Interrogated?" Carla laughed. "What do you hope to get out of me? Who's the strongest of us? Where do we reside? What are our plans? Truth is I don't know any of that."

"You must know something." Sasakibe asked. "You leader is the strongest."

"Just because he is in charge doesn't mean he's the strongest." Carla explained. "Or maybe he is, I don't know. I've never seen his power."

Carla then looked up at the sky and saw the setting suns light reflecting through the trees.

"There is only one thing I know." Carla continued. "Singore Maziro is observering us right now...and I am more afraid of him then I am of you."

Carla then grabbed the blade of Sasakibe's Zanpaktuō with her bare hand. She griped the blade so it pierced her skin and blood dripped out. Steam rose from in-between her fingers and Sasakibe realized something was wrong and pulled his sword out of her grip. As Sasakibe retreated to a further position, he looked at his Zanpaktuō and saw that the blade had melted.

"What is this?" Sasakibe asked. "Acid?"

"Steam." Carla answered. "Like when water becomes hot, it becomes air and rises buring what it makes contact with. The steam from my blood becomes so hot that it can melt even the steel of a sword."

The steam from Carla's bloodied hand rose through the trees. On contact, leaves would dry up and die. Some would even combust into small flames. Carla then picked up her Zanpaktuō as she got to her feet. She twirled the chain around one of the scythes ends as she glared down Sasakibe.

"I am irritated." Carla announced as she pointed the other scythe at Sasakibe. "And Now I'm serious! I WILL kill you!"

"So you were holding back before?" Sasakibe asked. "Alright, I guess I shouldn't hold back anymore either."

"...Say what?" Carla asked.

Sasakibe lifted his sword above his head. "Bankai!" Sasakibe called. "Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū!" A bolt of Lightning shot up from the blade into the air and turned into a dome of lightning that became fastened to the ground by several lightning pillars. Dark clouds formed over head with the activation of this Bankai. With the forest partially burning, some rain water would be welcome, but these were thunder clouds.

"...well shit." Carla groaned at how out matched she was.

Sasakibe directed lightning, from the clouds, to strike at Carla. She tripped backwards and the lightning struck the tree she was on. As Carla fell, another bolt of came strait down after her. She threw her scythe at a tree branch, which the chain wrapped around Carla used it to swing forward, dodging the lightning bolt and using the leverage of her swing herself upward in sight of Sasakibe. Carla threw her other scythe at him, while he directed another bolt to strike at her. The lightning bolt landed a direct hit on Carla, shocking and knocking her back, and the Sycthe just missed Sasakibe cutting his across the cheeck.

"Thats it..." Sasakibe said as he watched Carla fall to the earth. You should have took my offer of surrender. You fought well Peccatore."

"Coltello Nero."

Sasakibe was stabbed in the back by a shadow knife. The knife pierced him strait threw the chest. Sasakibe turned his head to see the knife attached to the steel Armband of Leonardo.

"Thats how you treat a lady?" Leonardo asked. "You call yourself a gentleman."

"H-how-" Sasakibe struggled to speak.

"How did I sneak up on you?" Leonardo said. "Wasn't hard. With your lightning storm it was easy."

Sasakibe try to move his arms to direct his Bankai, but couldn't move, the Pain in his chest intensified.

"My Coltello Nero." Leonardo continued. "It's basically an instant kill. My most powerful attack. I became a Signore using this attack. I held back on the attack to keep you alive."

"Why?" Sasakibe asked feeling his strength fade. As his Strength faded, his Bankai regressed and his Zanpaktuō returned to it's sealed state. The sky began to clear and the late afternoon sunlight broke through the clouds.

"You can use Bankai." Leonardo pointed out. "But you are only a lieutenant. How is this Possible?"

"I train." Sasakibe said. "I...I keep some of my strength hidden to...to..."

"Hidden strength?" Leonardo asked. "You mean to say you hold back your power? I see."

"Are you going to kill me?" Sasakibe asked.

"No," Leonardo said pulling his blade out of Sasakibe's back. "You are Carla's prey, she will cleanse your soul. I have my own target to cleanse." He then pushed Sasakibe off his branch and he fell. Then Leonardo fled from the area.

Carla was spazzing out on the ground with the electric current flowing in her system. The pain caused her body's joints to bend and twist violently. After a couple long seconds the pain stopped and the electricity subsided. Carla then took the time to catch her breath.

"Damn...it...*huff*" she muttered. "How...the hell...*huff...am I..." she tried to talk to herself.

Carla was looking up and saw Sasakibe falling from the sky. She noticed the wound that pieced him from his chest through his back. "How?" She then remembered when she threw her scythe at him, she got struck by lightning before she saw it hit him so she assumed her weapon did that.

"Now's my chance!" She said as soon as Sasakibe hit the ground. She looked around for her weapon, found it right next to her and grabbed it.

"Uggh," Sasakibe moaned as he tryed to get to his feet. As soon as he lifted his head, a chained Wrapped itself around his neck, choking him. He looked up at Carla who had the scythe chain wrapped around his neck and the scythe blade on the chain ready to cut off his head.

"It's over!" Carla said. "I win."

Carla eyed Sasakibe's right arm and his lieutenants badge. She ripped it off his arm and looked at it.

"Trophy." She told him. "Now you die."

Carla then pulled on the chain, causing the blade to do what blades do...


Korin was on the other side of the forest when he felt the disappearance of Sasakibe's Spiritual pressure.

"Chōjirō?" he asked himself. "Nah, no way. They didn't kill him."

"Why are you so surprised?" Leonardo said appear on the tree across from where Korin was. "Carla is a somewhat formidable opponent. Beside's that we are the righteous. The righteous shall always triumph over the wicked."

"You are so Preachy!" Korin growled. "All that righteous-wicked talk still sounds like Bullshit to me!"

"Enough talk!" Leonaro insisted. "Now show me your hidden power!"

"What hidden power?" Korin asked.

"You have been holding back." Leonardo said. "Your earlier attack showed as much. Any worthy enemy would attack with everything he has!"

"I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Korin said.

"Fine." Leonardo spoke drawing his sword and knife. "I'll make you show me then!"
