Episode 50: Dann versus Raizen and Ayame
Starrk grabbed Lilynette by the shoulders. "Are you ready?" He asked her.
She nodded, and the two flash stepped up away from the battle.
Zommari stepped forward to chase after them, but Kensei flash stepped behind him, putting his knife to his throat.
"Make one move, and you're dead." Kensei warned.
Zommari turned to him. "Do not stand in my way."
"What're you going to do about it?" Kensei jerked his knife toward the Arrancar's throat, but Zommari Sonido'd to the right, effectively dodging the knife.
Dann launched himself forward, punching at Raizen's head. Raizen jumped to the right, and slashed him across the shoulder. Dann planted his feet on the ground, and then threw a hook at Raizen's ribs. Ayame caught his wrist with her Zanpakuto-coated hand, and threw him backward.
Ayame swung a punch at him, missing his shoulder by an inch, but the protrusion snapped off, stabbing into him. Dann jumped backward, as Raizen leapt over Ayame and slashed down at him. Raizen grabbed the blade, blood splattering into his sword- causing his sword to become slightly more pink. Dann swung Raizen into Ayame, and then leapt up into the air.
Pivioting in midair, he divebombed toward them, as he put his hand on his shoulder wound, and his shoulder healed from Raizen's first slash, and Ayame's poison disappeared.
"Did you see that?" Ayame asked.
"Yeah." Raizen responded. Dann landed on the ground, debris flying toward the two.
The two Captains flew up into the air, avoiding the debris. Dann looked up at them with his blood red eyes, and grinned. "Ya know... you guys are pretty strong. I'll battle you two for a while, but I doubt that you guys would be able to defeat me."
Raizen flew down toward him, Ayame close behind him. Dann leapt into the air to meet them. Just as the two men were nearly in arm's length, Raizen flash stepped away, and Ayame punched him directly in the nose. Dann fell out of the air, reaching for his nose. Before he could reach it, Raizen slashed down at him.
Dann caught his sword with his dominant hand, blood running down the sword- darkening the tint the slightest bit. With his free hand he went for his nose, but Ayame kicked at his head. He lifted his shoulder, tanking the kick. With his hand, he rubbed his nose.
Blue spirit energy blossomed around his right arm, and he tightened his grip on Raizen's sword, attempting to snap the weapon. Ayame punched him hard in the ribs, then her hand slipped off him, and the protrusion pointing out of the other side, broke stabbing into him. Dann clenched his jaw, and then kicked Raizen in the lower stomach then jumped backward.
Looks like I'm on the defensive. Thought Dann. Good.
Raizen charged and slashed at Dann. Doing a front flip over the Soul Reaper, Dann punched him hard in the shoulder blade. Raizen cried out, as he heard something snap.*
Raizen dropped his sword, but picked it up with his less dominant hand. Raizen slashed at his side. Dann dodged to the right, and then punched him in the chin. Dann leapt backward, rubbing his side. Something small was stabbed into his shoulder. He spun around to see Ayame hand stabbed a pair of protrusions into his arm. He grabbed her wrist, and threw her into Raizen.
Ayame flash stepped to avoid tackling Raizen. "Are you injured?" Ayame asked him.
"I can't use my good arm, and it hurts like hell."
"Ah, so you're perfectly fine."
"Shut up..."
"How many slashes until you're going to be able to use your Bankai?"
"Too many."
"Damn."
"Are you two done?" Dann asked. "If you're going to just sit there and talk, I'm going to find Starrk and hunt him down."
Ignoring him, Ayame continued. "You go back up Kensei, I'm going to use my Bankai."
"Are you sure?" Raizen asked.
"If this fight goes any longer, I won't be able to use it at all."
"Alright..." Raizen flash stepped away, flash stepping behind Zommari.
A few minutes ago, Kensei and Zommari were in a battle. Zommari had drawn his sword, and he was slashing down at him. Kensei blocked with his knife, then he threw up Zommari's blade, then stabbed at him.
A blade came down, crashing into his back. Blood splattered onto the ground, Kensei groaned, then spun around.
"I am the fastest Espada." Zommari said. "I am so fast that I can create Sonido Clones."
The first Zommari slashed at Kensei, but he lifted his hand to his face. A white hockey mask appeared on his face, and he roared. He spun around, slashing the first across the chest- the clone disappeared. Zommari suddenly duplicated into nine different forms.
Kensei clenched his jaw, and looked around. Which one should I attack? He thought.
Suddenly, Raizen appeared behind him. "I can take these guys. You go recover."
"Whatever." Kensei's mask disappeared, and the flash stepped away.
Raizen slashed the clone closest to him, then spun around and slashed two more down. Three simultaniously attacked- one downward slash, a horizontal slash, and a stab at his side.
The Captain jumped backward, then he jumped forward and slashed the three across the head. The remaining clones began creating more doppelgangers. Raizen growled, gripping his sword tighter.
"Bankai..." Ayame mumbled. "Takeuchi no Kami." Ayame began glowing a bright red. The red disappeared, and Ayame's gauntlet was gone.
She's disarmed... Dann thought. What the hell?
Ayame charged at the Primera.
She's charging at me the same as when she was still armed. Is her sword invisible? Dann thought. Blue energy glowed around his entire arm, and he punched at Ayame's head. She threw her own punch, without even attempting to dodge or block.
Ayame's hand slammed into Dann's spirit energy-armored shoulder, and Dann's armored fist collided with Ayame's fist.
The spirit energy began boiling, and disappearing. The Primera flew up into the air, and he made the energy disappear. He watched, as something for the most part translucent, fell from the sky and crashed into the ground and ate through the grass and soil, burrowing deep into the ground before disappearing.
Dann looked in curiousity. "What is that technique that you're using?" Ayame flash stepped, suddenly being an inch from his face. Dann Sonido'd backward, before Ayame could grab him.
Was that acid? Dann thought. I don't understand what's going on.
Mean while in Hueco Mundo, the Soul Reapers were invading.
Uryu Ishida along with Yasutora "Chad" Sado charged toward the castle of Hueco Mundo, known as Las Noches.
"Remember, the objective is to find Orihime!" Uryu yelled.
An Arrancar charged at them.
"We don't have time for this..." Uryu groaned.
"As the great Iron Maiden once said..." A voice said from behind them. "Be quick, or be dead." Kai Umino leapt out from behind Uryu, and he slammed his sheathed sword down into the Arrancar's skull, cracking it open, making the Arrancar disappear into smoke.
Mizu, stepped forward. "What my music loving brother is trying to say, is that you might want to move faster. We'll even back you guys up."
"Right. Let's go!" Uryu yelled, not slowing down in the slightest.
With the Espada along with Aizen and his cohorts sealed away by Yamamoto's fire, there was only lower leveled Arrancar open.
The Soul Reapers that were in Fake Karakura Town were standing on a massive white building.
"It's time for the crowd controllers!" Shouted Yachiru. "GOOOOOOOO!"
"Scatter. Senbonzakura." Mumbled Byakuya. Flower pedals flew around his body, and then flew toward a handful of Arrancar that were charging toward the building the Captains were.
Kenpachi grinned and leapt down to the ground. Kenpachi charged toward a massive group of Arrancar, slashing at them wildly.
An Arrancar with a mask of a Texan longhorn was standing on a building, several buildings away from the confrontation, watching the two Captains take down the Arrancar.
"You look pretty comfortable up here."
The Arrancar turned, to see Rangiku Matsumoto, Momo Hinamori, and Nemu Kurotsuchi standing there. Rangiku was the one that spoke.
A small Arrancar Sonido'd up to him. "Do you want my help, Rudbornn?"
Rudbornn turned, and smacked him across the face knocking the small Arrancar off the building. Rudbornn turned to the Lieutenants. "The three of you won't be able to defeat me. No one will be able to defeat me, because of my power." He gripped the sword at his hip, drawing it. "Grow... Arbol."
Kensei flash stepped over, and found Starrk.
"Hold on!" Starrk yelled, holding his hand up in the air. He walked up to the Visored.
"What was that about?" Kensei asked. "What exactly are you doing?"
"You don't think that I was just sitting here doing nothing, did you? I set a trap and you almost triggered it."
Notes: *I looked up if it was possible to break your shoulder blade, and in fact, it is. It is rare, but still possible. It could be caused by blunt force, like a hammer or baseball bat. A standard Arrancar is definitely stronger than a human with a hammer.
Well guys... we did it. We reached the goal that I had set for thirty follows, favorites, and reviews. I wasn't expecting to reach this goal so soon. I am planning out the special episode that I had planned out... but I won't seriously start writing it until I reach forty five follows, favorites, and reviews. By then, I will be at a point where I can write the episode where it makes sense.
