Episode 36: Kenpachi Falls

The Primera grabbed Kenpachi by the throat, and slammed him into the ground. "You're very strong." He rubbed his palms together. "You wounded me twice. The first time you stabbed me- only the tip of your weapon pierced my flesh, but you still stabbed me none the less. And you cut my hand. Feel proud that you wounded the Primera Espada. But I have grown board of fighting you. You can't win if you don't use your Bankai."

Kenpachi opened his mouth to speak, but Dann interrupted him. "I gave you numerous chances to use other techniques. But you refused- you only fought with your sealed Zanpakuto." He examined his hand. "I'll take my prize now. Maybe you could come after me while I'm in Hueco Mundo. But at the level that you're at right now, you'll never be able to stop me."

The Espada walked over, and lifted the net with Yachiru in it. Kenpachi forced himself back onto his feet. He darted over, and he grabbed his sword. He charged at Dann.

"You don't learn, do you?" He dropped the bag. "I guess I'll have to tell you again- but I'll use my fists instead of my tongue."


Yoruichi and Ayame were attacking Wonderweiss. Yoruichi would fly at him with an attack, jump back, Ayame would attack, jump back, and that pattern as going on. Wonderweiss as taking visual damage, but he continued to attack as if he didn't feel the attacks.

"He just doesn't go down, does he?" Yoruichi pointed out.

"Maybe we should start going for kill shots." Ayame tightened her metal-coated hand.

"It's a lot harder for me to use killing blows because he looks like a child. If he appeared to be a grown man, he would have been dead by now."

"I don't doubt that."


Grimmjow dodged his head backwards and dodged the slash from Toshiro and Rangiku. He grabbed Ranigku's wrist, then he kicked Toshiro in the stomach. He headbutted the Lieutenant, and he hurled her into Hitsugaya.

Toshiro caught her, and pushed her off to the side. "Reign over the frosted heavens... Hyorinmaru!" He slashed down at Grimmjow, causing a torrent of ice to fly at the former Espada. The former Seis flew backwards. He palmed his hand, and a red cero blasted from his hand, hitting the ice- causing shards to fly everywhere. Grimmjow used his Sonido to away from the ice, and he flew at the Captain.

"Sorry, my Captain." Rangiku apologized. "I didn't think he'd be able to throw me like that."

"A desperate fighter can do things that he couldn't do before. We're over powering him, and he knows that. He knows that he'll die- but he wants to take at least one of us down with him."

"Stop it!" Grimmjow yelled, as he flew towards him. "Stop looking at me with that damn look in your eyes! You think you're freaking better than me! Whether you're a human, a hollow, or a Soul Reaper! Anyone who looks at me like that is gonna die!" He roared as he punched at Toshiro.


Kisuke easily dodged Luppi's attack, then he flew towards him, Shuhei, Ikkaku, and Yumichika flying at him all from different sides.

Shit. Luppi thought. It looks like they've got me surrounded. I guess this is as good a time as any. Hopefully it doesn't kill me. Luppi flexed his limbs- making them point towards the Soul Reapers and by extension- himself. All of his limbs glowed with light purple light and the lights formed into a sphere.

"CERO!" Luppi called, as all the Ceros blasted towards himself.

"Oh, man." Kisuke mumbled.


Dann punched Kenpachi in the face, then punched him in the heart. Kenpachi stumbled backwards. The Primera gathered blue spirit energy around his hand, and it formed into what looked like a boxing glove.

Kenpachi charged him, slashing down at him. Dann punched the sword, and it snapped in half. He then punched Kenpachi in the nose- breaking it and sending the Captain flying backwards.

"You've been defeated twice now. Your sword's broken, and you refuse to use your other Soul Reaper powers."

Kenpachi stood back up.

"Tù eres un hombre raro." (You are a rare/strange man). The energy disappeared from around Dann's hand. "I'm bored of this fight." Blue energy exploded off of him, causing everyone- Soul Reapers and Arrancar alike- to fall to the ground, unable to move. Yumichika and Ikkaku- being low ranked Soul Reapers- struggled to breath.

"I won't kill you." Dann said. "But tell me your name."

"Ken... pachi... Zaraki..." He growled, trying to force himself back up.

"I'm going to go to the Soul Society. And I'm going to find the human girl that has loco (Crazy) healing abilities. When I am there, I'll fight anyone who stands in my way. But I won't go out of my way to fight anyone. Do you understand?"

Kenpachi didn't respond.

Dann kicked Kenpachi across the face. "Answer me."

"Give her back... GIVE YACHIRU BACK!" Kenpachi managed to force himself to his feet, but barely. He punched at the Espada.

"Fine." Dann tackled Kenpachi to the ground, and gathered energy around his fists and he punched him hard in the chest. Something snapped under the Primera's fist and sent Kenpachi flying. Suddenly spikes of spirit energy came up from the ground and stabbed into Kenpachi's arms, legs, and stomach. "I avoided vital spots. Pass my message on, or I'll kill you." He lifted the net with Yachiru over his shoulder again. He was suddenly standing in front of Grimmjow who was lying on the ground across from Toshiro and Rangiku- those two were also on the ground.

"Back to Hueco Mundo, Uno Brazo (one arm)." He poked Grimmjow in the forehead with two fingers, and he opened the Garganta around Grimmjow- the passage from Hueco Mundo to the World of the Living.

The Primera teleported over to Luppi, who's Ceros were neutralized by the Espada completely overwhelming his spirit energy. "These fools almost killed you, La Hermano (feminine brother)." He shook his head. "You don't deserve to be an Espada." He snapped his fingers, and Luppi was teleported back to Hueco Mundo via Garganta.

He teleported over to the completely wounded Yammy, who was having trouble breathing because of all of his wounds and the Primera's spirit energy. "You lost to Kenpachi. He is strong, but not stronger than me. Know that you are weaker than me, Estomago (stomach)." He put his free hand on Yammy's chest, and Yammy disappeared.

The Primera teleported to Wonderweiss who was standing back up.

"Estupido (stupid), go to Hueco Mundo." He clapped his hands together, and the two of them where teleported to Hueco Mundo.

The spirit energy in the air instantly returned to normal.


"Umm..." Kuna said. "The Spirit Energy readers in the World of the Living... they just broke. Something overflowed them."*

"That's impossible. Not even a Captain has the power to do that." Akon responded. His eyes widened to see that she wasn't lying. "Send reinforcements to the World of the Living now."


Notes: *Two things that I need to say here. The first is the more simple one. This is not Mashiro Kuna- this is the Department of Research and Development researcher. She's that chick with purple hair and she's got a metal chain. The second thing I need to explain is Dann's spirit energy. Imagine Gin's energy (as shown when Rukia felt like she couldn't breath in his presence) but on a higher scale. He has insane control over his spirit energy, able to create solid constructs with just his spirit energy. This may seem over powered, and it kind of is. So to power him down... The Primera doesn't have a Zanpakuto. Which means no Resurrecion. There is an actual reason why he doesn't have a Zanpakuto, it's not just so he can't be any more powerful. But I'll get into that later.
