After he had frozen a good portion of the water, Toshiro had rushed upward past the Hollow Hunter and into the air, keeping the ice from moving in the ocean around it. Dark clouds formed over top and cold winds blew over them. He spread the ice out in tendrils to grip onto any land below or surrounding anchors so the ship wouldn't float in its ice case away from the island.

The sudden cold made the Hollow Hunter even angrier. Now unable to reach the source of this cold, he looked for another Soul Reaper to try and bring him down.

On the ice, Izuru struck the ship several times with his zanpaktou, Wabisuke. The tons of metal became ten times heavier and even Toshiro's ice couldn't hold it up. But that was fine, it was supposed to happen.

The ship began to sink, bringing the Hollow Hunter to alarm. Did they think sinking it in ice would kill it? It decided to prove them wrong…but the ice looked so unforgiving.

Rukia awaited her turn, watching the ship sink lower and lower. When the runway top of the ship was nearly level with the ice flat Toshiro had made, she stabbed Sode no Shirayuki into said ice.

"White Tree!"

More ice flowed from where she stabbed into already existing parts and spread towards the ship. The entire carrier became encased in ice, making it light once more and stopping its decent, while also making their opponent uncomfortable. Her ice mixed with Toshiro's spread the ice field farther.

The monster had gotten over its fear of ice, now completely surrounded by it, and leaped at the still standing Kira. He was unprepared for the attack and quickly fell to the ice, the force asserted by the Hollow Hunter cracking it. Claws rose to deliver the final strike and consume the Soul Reaper.

"Got your back, Kira!" Yoruichi darted in and kicked the beast square in the chest, sending it skittering across the ice and back onto the ship. Once there, she turned to Izuru. "Get yourself to Unohana, we can finish it."

The blonde nodded and stood shakily, Flash Stepping towards the Squad Four Captain and current only doctor.

Now the Soul Reapers still left in the fight were on the ship, along with Mercer. Deciding to play with them, the Hollow Hunter swung its head back and forth between them, as if choosing which one to fight with. It knew what it wanted though, and that was the ice winged Captain hovering a little ways above it. One little jump and…

"Bankai." Byakuya's calm voice drew its attention as he dropped the blade. "Senbonsakura Kageyoshi."

Alex gaped somewhat as the sword sank into the ice covered ship like water, having not seen the actual release of Byakuya's Bankai, and never on such an intense scale. Enormous blades then rose from the ground and surrounded them before breaking into what seemed millions of petals. It was all he could do to keep himself up with both Hitsugaya and Byakuya's Bankai now activated without a limiter.

The petals surrounded them, forming a sort of barrier that trapped them all inside, the Hollow Hunter as well, and darkening their surroundings. Row upon row of shining pink blades encircled them.

"Slaughter-scape." Called out the owner of those thousands of blades.

"You know, I did not expect this." Alex looked around at the trap they'd set. Yoruichi snickered.

As if he'd set off a siren, the Hollow Hunter turned to charge Mercer head on. Red flags went off in Alex's head and he turned, morphing his arm into a shield to fend off the charge. Ice cracked as he was pushed towards the edge, coming dangerously close to the blades.

"It isn't my turn yet, you son of a bitch." Alex snarled and morphed his other arm into a blade.

One quick stroke and the Hollow Hunter stumbled backwards, the gash across its chest already healing. But that was all Yoruichi needed to step in for her turn.

"Shunko!" She shouted.

The white energy enveloped her and she used all her martial arts expertise to beat the Hollow Hunter down.

"Snap, Tobiume." The screeching call sounded off followed quickly by the fireball from the pronged blade.

The fireball scorched its back, a tough kick to the gut knocking away its breath. The beast thrashed, trying so very hard to hit the fast moving she-cat. At one point it turned to charge the girl with fire, Momo, having learned she was being kept safe by the ice Captain, therefore someone he would come down for. By forcing Toshiro down, it could take him out and get rid of the nasty cold still filling the air.

Facing Momo, Yoruichi came at its back, and an idea crossed its foul mind. Bone stretched as the back spines shot out and caught the woman mid-air. It missed any major organs, but rendered her left arm useless and caused excruciating pain. She did get in her fair hit as the Shunko powers still worked and blasted off the spines.

As the Hollow Hunter turned to finish off the purple haired she-cat, Momo finished up with a strain of incantations. The first put a barrier in front of Yoruichi. The second extended out from that barrier and crafted pillars into a sort of cage, making the shield turn trap. The final kido spell lit the trap inside and set the Hollow Hunter aflame.

Writhing in pain at the hurtful blaze, it took no notice to Momo helping Yoruichi to the side of the battle where Byakuya was, as he kept himself safe among his own blades. She became a part of his safety circle and Momo took back to the fight.

"Alright Momo, it's Kurosaki's turn." Toshiro told her, hovering next to her for a moment before taking back to the air.

"Right."

The shield was lifted back up, the Hollow Hunter still burning, and Ichigo raised his sword. His Spiritual Pressure swirled around him in a light blue color, different from the black and red Alex remembered seeing in his Bankai form.

"Moon Fang, Heaven-Piercer!" The orange haired teen called, swinging the blade down towards the Hollow Hunter and letting the powerful stream of energy crash into it.

"That should put it out, get it now Mercer!" Yoruichi called to the virus from her sitting position near Byakuya.

Wasting no time he rushed towards the downed beast and lifted his sword arm up to finish the job. The timer clicked down and the Soul Reapers inside Byakuya's Senkei waited with baited breath. The blade arm came down.

The Hollow Hunter vanished and Mercer's arm struck iced metal.

"The fuck?"

He managed to pull back and move before the Hollow Hunter, suddenly behind him, struck him down.

"It's learned Sonido!" Hinamori gaped.

"Not good." Toshiro hissed.

Now twice as fast as before, Alex's shifting tricks did no good to defend against it. He used his claws to move faster, but they did hardly any damage and he was always hit right back.

"Snap, Tobiume!"

The fireball came again only to be avoided, the Hollow Hunter in front of the tiny Soul Reaper. It grabbed her around the neck and lifted her up.

"Momo!"

Hitsugaya darted down and stabbed through the Hollow Hunter to force him to let go. Not too far behind, Ichigo and Alex arrived to help. Its current victim was thrown away, caught by Byakuya and pulled into the safety zone, before it turned to its three new opponents with a guttural snarl. Three blades were turned on him.

Ichigo struck first, swinging his huge zanpaktou down at the head of the monster. Claws cut off the blade's path and pushed the Substitute back, lashing out when Hitsugaya came in for a rear attack. Hyorinmaru snarled in his Soul Reaper's Inner World as he realized the Hollow Hunter was spreading the virus through touch now, though it was useless against the Soul Reapers, especially the ice Captain.

Leaving the girls in the safety zone surrounded by several glowing blades, Byakuya pulled himself into the fight, bringing one of the other multiple glowing swords to his hand. The glow faded and left him with a normal looking katana blade but had the power of several.

After pushing Toshiro and Alex back with a Devastator, Ichigo hanging off by the side to get ready for a Getsuga Tensho, the Hollow Hunter immediately turned towards the newcomer and narrowed yellow eyes, its spines growing somewhat in a threatening manner. Still the Squad Six Captain kept moving forward.

"Way of Destruction Number Thirty-Three, Blue Fire, Crash Down." The noble recited, hand aimed towards the beast with the sword in his other hand.

The blue Spirit Energy burst forth in a wide beam that engulfed the Hollow Hunter.

Using the same shifting abilities as Mercer, it put up a shield and got out of the beam before it did too much damage, before using Sonido right up to the shocked Captain and stabbing its left arm, a bladed arm, into the noble's stomach.

"Shit!" Mercer rushed forward again, lopping off the bladed arm with his own and freeing Byakuya from the terror. The noble fell to the icy ground with barely any conscious. Alex sent the Hollow Hunter flying with a Muscle-mass powered kick.

The thousands of swords diminished as its wielders life did and the ice field around the frozen ship came back into focus, letting the other Soul Reapers see the damage that had been wrought from the inside. Alarmed by her brother being so fatally wounded, Rukia rushed over to him and attempted a small healing kido spell. The light was beginning to leave his eyes, but he made one last attempt to weaken down his opponent.

"Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six. Way of Binding Number Sixty-One, Six-Staff Light Prison."

Six flat beams of yellow energy slammed into the Hollow Hunter's middle, effectively paralyzing it as he attempted to latch onto the elusive Alex. It could not move, could not defend, it could hardly even look around at the noble to glare defiantly with bloodlust fury.

"Better." Alex sneered, turning his arm into a whip and slinging it forward to wrap around its neck and snap it.

It looked like they finally had it, the force of Alex's pull beginning to audibly crack at the spine, until the Hollow Hunter used a burst of massive viral Spiritual Pressure and obliterated his prison, grabbing onto the whip and pulling a now shocked Alex towards it, sinister claws ready to instead deliver the killing blow to Mercer and consume the Blacklight Virus.

Many things happened at once. The Soul Reapers saw Toshiro dart forward in between the claws and Alex, Hyorinmaru blocking the talons from doing their job, Alex being thrown back towards the others with a Bakudo spell.

As if anticipating it, the monster lashed out with his regenerated sword arm and struck the ice Captain hard, leaving a gash across his chest and sword arm, making him drop Hyorinmaru as he lost feeling in it, and breaking his Bankai.

And although no one else noticed it, Hitsugaya saw the broken Hell Butterfly that served as his translator get blown away in the freezing winds he himself had made.

Kinda getting bored with the one a day thing, so happy early Christmas, i will be posting all the chapters and finishing it today :)
