Episode 51: Ayame's Limit

Blood splattered to the ground, as Raizen slashed six Zommari's down. He glanced down at his sword. "Nearly there..."

The real Zommari had a slash mark on his stomach, but he had not been defeated yet. Zommari clenched his jaw. "Damn you." He placed his hands together. "Because of you, I am already using my Resurreccion."

"Is that so?" Raizen leaned his sword against his shoulder. "You still won't be able to defeat me."

"Quell. Brujeria!" His neck snapped off to the side, and his irises expanded. Yellow smoke erupted all around him.


Ayame flew toward the Primera. Dann rubbed his hands together, and then he was suddenly standing in the air. I need to create a strategy. He thought. When I got close to her the first name, something started burning against my spirit energy. If I look hard enough, I am able to see it something around her... there is something. Something, but I can't figure out what it is.

Before he could properly form a plan, Ayame flew up into the air. Blue energy exploded around him, and he flew down at the Captain. Ayame punched at his head. Dann pivoted out of the way, and he kicked Ayame in the chest as hard as he could- sending both of them flying backward in opposite directions.

Dann looked down at his leg, to see something was corroding his spirit energy. The nearly see-through liquid was eating away at his spirit energy armor as if it were acid. The energy disappeared, and the acid dropped to the ground. The acid consumed the grass, and burrowed into the ground.

Dann charged at Ayame, who flash stepped behind him. Dann spun around and kicked dirt into her face. He then jumped backward. He watched as the dirt corroded away before touching her. Dann looked around, seeing that there was a small mountain in the background. "Come on, Captain. I think it's time for a change in scenery."

Dann took off, running toward the mountain.

"Son of a... I can't last much longer..." She mumbled.


In Hueco Mundo, the two humans and two Soul Reapers sprinted toward Las Noches. "We've been running for about ten minutes! It doesn't seem like we're getting any closer to the damn castle." Kai complained. "Maybe we should run faster."

"MAYBE!" Laughed a voice behind him.

Kai hit the breaks, and spun around. His eyes widened at his opponent- a man with long black hair, and wearing a white uniform, with a massive spoon-esque dome behind his head. His left eye hidden behind an eye patch. His weapon was a massive battle axe, with two crescent moon shapes, back to back. Beside him was a shorter blond man.

The other three stopped as well. Kai raised his hand. "Don't worry. I can handle these two."

"Kai, his spirit energy-" Mizu tried.

"Shut up, Mizu." Kai smiled. "I can them both down without a sweat. Don't worry about it."

"Don't waste my time." The man with the giant axe said. "The four of you will have to attack me at once if to have a chance of defeating me. I am the Quinto Espada! Do not disrespect me!" He slammed his axe into the ground.

"Kai, this isn't-" Mizu spoke again.

"I said go." Green energy boomed off of Kai, and he grinned even broader. "I'll kick both of their asses!"

"As you wish." Mizu turned to the other two. "Come on, we better start going."

The three took off. "Don't you think it's a bad idea to leave him alone with those two?" Uryu asked. "He might get killed."

"I know. He knows that too, but he knows what the mission is. It is to rescue Orihime Inoue, and protect you two. If someone else shows up, I need to fight them. If both of us win, we will join back up with you."

Kai frowned, and more energy exploded off of him. If I die, then I die. Hopefully I can hold them back for a little while. He thought.

"Damn it!" The Quinto growled and stomped his foot. "Tesra, attack him! NOW!"

"Yes, Master Nnoitra." Tesra, the small blond man, stepped toward Kai drawing his sword. The Soul Reaper pointed his sheathed sword at him.

"Take one step forward, and you're dead." Kai warned.

"TESRA!" Nnoitra growled.

Tesra nodded, and stepped forward. He slashed into Kai's sword. Kai took a step backward, then he stabbed his sheathed sword directly in Tesra's throat. Tesra choked, and started coughing. Kai stepped forward, then slashed down at his shoulder. Tesra lifted his sword to defend himself, but Kai grabbed his wrist with his free hand, then Kai slammed his sword into the side of Tesra's neck.

"You bastard!" Nnoitra roared, slashing down at Kai. Instinctively, Kai dropped his sword and grabbed Tesra by the throat. He swung the Arrancar into The Espada's axe- the weapon easily cutting through the man's flesh.

Kai grimaced, and jumped backward.

"You... made me kill Tesra!" Nnoitra growled.


Rangiku drew her sword, and charged at Rudbornn, just as he unleashed his Resurrecion. Tree branches wrapped around his waist, and lifted him up into the air. Rangiku slashed at the branches. A skull formed at one of the branches, then a body formed under the skull. He drew his own sword, and then blocked Rangiku's sword.

"What the..." Rangiku mumbled and jumped backward.

More skulls formed from branches, and then bodies formed from the skulls, the skulled men walked toward Rangiku, Momo, and Nemu. "What the heck is going on...?" Rangiku growled.

"These are the Exequias." (Lit. Funeral Rites.) Rudbornn looked down at him from his branches. "None of you will get anymore lose to me. You will lose. And you will die."


Back in the Soul Society, Raizen clenched his sword with his left hand, due to his right being unusable. My right arm is unusable... Thanks, Primera. He thought.

The smoke cleared from the area, there stood Zommari. Eyes were covering his entire body, and his white clothes had turned purple.

"What... in the blue hell..." Raizen groaned. "Did your mother let you dress yourself this morning?"

"Do not mock me, Soul Reaper. In this form I will completely destroy you."

"Is that so?" Raizen leaned his sword against his shoulder. "Words are cheap. Show me, Arrancar."

All of the eyes that surrounded on Zommari's body closed. One of the eyes on his left arm opened suddenly. "Now," Zommari said. "I control your right arm. Right arm upward."

Raizen looked down at his arm. It didn't move. "Stop fooling around, Arrancar. I've seen enough. I'm cutting you apart." Raizen charged, and he slashed Zommari across the stomach. An eye on Zommari's stomach opened, seeing Raizen's left leg first.

His left leg bent suddenly, forcing him to the ground. Raizen jumped off his other leg, and flew up into the air. What the... hell? He thought. He couldn't move my right arm, but he has control over my leg now. My other leg is completely fine. Why wouldn't he be able to control my arm? He stopped flying, and floated in the air about a hundred yards in the air.

Wait, I can't use my right arm. So maybe he can only use it when I can. So the Primera ended up helping me out anyway. I need to end this battle quickly, or he might take over my entire body and then make me attack Kensei or Starrk.


Ayame flew toward the mountains were Dann had retreated too. She stopped, and looked around. She couldn't find him. I'm going to run out of Spirit energy if he doesn't show himself soon. "Don't hide, Primera. Fight like you have at least a shred of honor."

"Says the one who's coated themself with poison."

Ayame's eyes widened, and she spun around to see Dann right behind her. She grabbed at his arm, but he flash stepped away. She turned, looking to figure out where he was. She looked up to see Dann flying down toward her, carrying a massive chunk of rock above his head. He roared as he hurled it down at Ayame.

"Oh God..." The rock crashed down over her. Dann floated above the massive chunk of earth.

"Did I get her?" He mumbled. He put his hands on the rock, and he pushed spirit energy through his hand. The entire rock crashed into dust and smaller rocks. Dann saw a human-sized hole in the ground. He looked down into the hole to see that she had burrowed through the ground, to avoid getting crushed by the rock.

Ayame suddenly tackled the Primera into the ground, by wrapping her arms around his waist. The poison burnt through his clothes, and quickly began to burn into his skin. He roared in pain, feeling like Ayame's arms were on fire.

Dann grabbed Ayame's hair, then punched her in the nose with his other hand. Her neck flicked backward, her grip around him loosened- and the threw her into the air.


"What the hell?" Kensei mumbled. "Shit, that's Ayame." He flew toward her.


Ayame flew through the sky, in a partial conscious state. What's going on? She thought. Oh, Kensei's flying toward me... Her eyes flicked open. "Kensei, stop!" Ayame caught herself in the air. "If you touch me, you'll get poisoned."

She gestured down to the ground, where the Primera was screaming in anguish.

"Right." Kensei said. "Where the hell is your Zanpakuto?"

"When I go into my Bankai, my sword disappears- and poison coats my entire body. The only think that keeps me from getting poisoned is keeping spirit energy all around my body. The only part of my body that I don't imitate poison is the soles of my feet."

Kensei nodded. "How much more spirit energy do you have?"

"Not very much longer. We need to hurry up."

Dann looked up at the too, his blood red eyes glared at the two. "Now you're both going to die."


Notes: I have decided that pretty soon I am going to start uploading more chapters to Kenpachi in Naruto, as soon as the person who's currently reading it gets caught up. (Kenpachi in Naruto will continue as soon as my one reader catches back up). I am also writing a Justice League fanfiction. So you guys should go and check those stories out. Fear not, I will not overwhelm myself with work. I'm waiting for the reader to check up before I start updating Kenpachi in Naruto, and I'm only updating the Justice League one whenever I feel like it. And school will be over soon, and I can't drive yet so I don't have a job to worry about.
