Ichigo left out a quit breath of relief. Before dissipating his reshi blades.
'So it was enough after all' he muttered to himself while looking at his arms and hands with blunt Arteri still pumping through them Barely'
Kuroskai then looked back to Grimijow still falling down in the air. As his Sengunda Etpa faded away until he reverted back to his unreleased form and Ichigo in that same moment of compassion for that Espada of his world rush to his fallen enemy and grab hold of him.
'Lucky for me, he never bothered to correct the flaw of his technique and left it vulnerable enough for me to shatter it…had I not used a bit more of my shingmai power and compressed it into my blades…well let's just say me losing an arm would be that lest of my worries' Ichigo thought to himself as he lowered grimjow down to the ground and then looked towards the rest of the battlefield.
To his relief. It would seem that quinces and the fullbringers were able to fight off the hollow hoard with many of them recovering their wounded and dead. Yet all of them felt at awe from feeling the power displayed between the black prince and the 5th espada while others looked at the hundred mile crater in the far distance as smoke and fires still flickered out of massive hole and rising up to the sky above
'Dame…now I know why the shingmai in my world place limiters on themselves. If any of them were this powerful. The entire surface of the world of the living would have been leveled' he mused to himself. Until he heard someone stutter behind him.
'You…fucking bastard!' Grimjow cursed out weakly as he barely pulled himself up from the ground and limply pointed his sword at Kurosaki 'this…this isn't over you hear me…this isn't over!'
Kurosaki then looked at his foe and sigh in resignation. For it seems that matter no what reality they are in some things would never change.
'So I guess you want to finish were we left off?' Kurosaki asked before forming back his two blades of reshi. 'Find by me'
However as Ichigo readied his stance, the Espada then hesitated. Looking unsure of what Kurosaki was doing.
'So wait…you are actually going to finish me off…and not offer me your forsaken mercy?' grimjow growled while ichigo looked irradiated.
'Look Grimjow I have learn long ago that guys like you don't surrender unless you end up dead or knocked out. Though In all honesty I rather let you go so you can make yourself stronger and fight me again instead of fighting you in that half dead state of yours. But since you were willing to threaten the people I care about…well. you didn't leave me with much choice but to finish you off'
The wounded arrancar was then left stun at what Ichigo said…before his face morph into absolute hate.
'Don't you dare play that bullcrap with me! The last time you offered mercy to any of us Espada. You shattered my predecessor's soul sleep and chain! Destroying her powers and reducing her to a complete wreak!' Grimjow snapped. Which caused Ichigo to pause.
'…What?'
'Nelihi the 5th Espada before me you bastard!' Grimjow screamed out which made made ichigo gasp in complete and utter bafflement at what he just heard.
'I…destroyed Neil's powers?' Ichigo asked again still not fully believing what he is hearing. Which Grimmjow just took as an even further insult.
'Oh don't play dumb with me Kurosaki, you did more then just destroyed her powers. You humiliated her, beaten her insulted everything she stood for just for daring to having honor and ideals before you toss her back to huedo mundo like discarded waste! Grimjow then tighter his hands into a fist. 'Just to teach the rest of us hollows a lesson…'
Kurosaki then remain silent for a long moment as he took everything that his, now much more justified enemy had stated to him.
'So…it would seemed that me being a Quincy wasn't the only thing different here.' He thought grimly. But whatever other thought he had was put on hold when he saw the wounded arranar continued to walk or rather stumble weakly towards him.
'I swear that I will get payback for what you have done to her and I refused to suffer the same fate even if I-'
Then suddenly a deccaor open upon from behind Grimjow and from within it a massive aura of spiritual pressure filled the entire area silencing the 5th espada in an instant and as for Ichigo it caused him to break out in a cold sweat. From not just from the overwhelming prescience he felt but also by the familiarity of it and by looking at the one who step outside the dimensional doorway his gut feelings were proven true.
Ulquiorra.
The Espada like Grimjow wore a black version of his outfit. Though his shirt had no selves exposing his pale, thin yet musclar arms and his coattails had a tattered edge. Along with keeping both of his hands in his pockets and sporting the same emotionless expression Ichigo recognize all those years ago. But even more foreboding was the fact he could tell this Ulquiorra was much stronger then the one from his world.
The Quincy Shingmai then gulped as he readied himself. For he knew full well the clear difference in power between the top 4 espada and the lower ranked ones and he would be an idiot to assume it would be any different in this reality. Even now Kurosaki was readying himself to unleash the full scope of his shingmai powers. Not even thinking risking the chance of withholding his power to maintain his cover.
Not against this opponent.
Ulquiorra then looked over to Ichigio Kurosaki for a moment and then to the injured grimjow. Before closing his eyes.
'It is over Jiberjack. The Quincy and fullbringers have managed to repels your forces and have killed the tenth Espada Grandfisher. It is time to retreat' the espada stated but Grimijow just shot him offending look.
'Like the hell I am!' He shouted. 'This fight isn't over until one of is-'
'So you would rather die a worthless death and shame the memory of your fellow Espada Neil is that it?'
Ulquiorra question and mocked while Grimjow lowered his head in shame.
'Unless you are ignorant or in denial, Kurosaki ichigo has not once unleashed his full powers against you. Even with your use of the Sengunda Etpa and if you continue this foolishness of yours it would only result in your destruction' the paled Espada harshly criticised while Grimjow could only pout and avert his superior's gaze.
Seeing his point has been made Ulquiorra then turn his head towards to Kurosaki who stared right back at him.
'It would seemed that you have developed a new power Kurosaki Ichigo, but though turns out it came at the cost of the degradation of your powers as a Quincy. Shame...if such a thing had not occurred you would been quiet a formidable foe to overcome, reserved for our absolute strongest' Ulquiorra commented while a ichigo mealy growled in annoyance.
'I can assure you that whatever new power I have now is more then enough take down both you and grimjow at once as need be. So if you want to brawl I suggest you cut the condescending bullshit and bring it on!' Ichigo boasted while Ulquiorra gave off a very faint smirk.
'And do you think I would be foolish enough to be goaded by you Kurosaki?' The Esapda mocked while Ichigo spun a nerve.
'I am wondering if you are going to waste my time talking or get your ass out of here' the Kurosaki snapped back while his spiritual power began to rise. Yet Ulquiorra still looked at him dismissively.
Yet behind the cold espada's indifferent demeanor or a spark of curiosity ignited within as he analyzed Ichigo's spiritual pressure.
'Interesting…it would seemed that beneath his Quincy spiritual pressure there is another type hiding beneath it yet just about to burst through the surface. But I can't quit recognize it' the pale espada then narrowed his eyes. '
No that is not quite right…I in a way do recognized it however if my suspicions are true. That just leaves the question on how such a thing hung is possible' Ulquiorra lamented in thought. But before he could question orange haired teen further. He sense the incoming fullbringers and Quincy zooming in on their location cutting their time short.
With little choice Ulquiorra let out a sigh and step further into the desccor with grimjow in toll.
'You have very peculiar power Ichigo Kurosaki and one that I never thought would even be possible to be achieve …' The espada stated and Ichigio then realized in an instant what his enemy was getting at.
'…and even more so I now understand why go all out of the way to hide that power...But regardless of whatever power that may be. It will soon be crushed by the might of huedo mundo and the god king Barragan'
Ulquiorra then turn his face away from and stared into the void of the garganta.
'Until we meet again…sinless shingmai' he spoke. Before walked into the dimensional cut in space, closed it behind him and disappeared.
Ichigo then stare into the distance at the ready. Before letting out deep breath and dispersed his reshi swords. Before once again thinking about his situation.
'Alright…so the shingami are apparently not well like by the Quincy if their usual power is usually determine as sinful and Ulquiorra has already found at that I am one...Well at least no one else found out about it' ichigo thought to himself and then from the corner of his eye he saw Keigo walking towards him while supporting Bambietta hunged over his shoulders.
'Yo Ichigo!' The brunette called out with a smile which was also shared by the sternritter and who Ichigo also returned before using Hierugyuku to appear right before them.
'Seems that you were able to kick that Espada's butt all by yourself even with that second form of his. Heh and to think me and Ms. Bambietta here all were all worried about you over for nothing' Kegio said cheefully. While dark haired women below shot up a nerve in annoyance.
'You idiot I wasn't worried about Kurosaki beating up that prick. I just didn't want leave him with all the fun when one the top espada showing up that's all' the sternritter stated but Keigo gave her a sheepish look.
'Oh? Well, that wasn't what I heard when you beg me to-'
'SHUT UP!' Bambeitta yelled at Aasno who then wisely decided to keep his mouth. While the bruised black haired women then look up to Kurosaki.
'Anyway Ichigo, I'm glade you sent that bastard running back with his tail between his legs as usual and with the hollow hoard now dealt all we need to worry about is-'
Suddenly Bambeitta stopped speaking as her body began to shake, before coughing massive coats of blood. Causing both Keigo and Ichigo to look over her in terror as her condition worsen.
'Damn it...' Keigo caused as he then quickly pushes Bambettia to Ichigo who quicky caught her in confusion. 'Ichigo go get Bamebetta to the hospital now!'
'What?' Kurosaki asked but this only made the fullbringer snapped at him.
'What do you mean WHAT!? Ichigo!' Keigo screamed at him furiously. 'If you don't get Bamebettia medical service now her will undergo soul suicide! NOW MOVE!'
Kursoaki mind then went blank upon hearing that term soul suicide and then darted his eyes to Bamebetta in further horror upon seeing that a hollow hole was forming on her chest.
However during the midst of Ichigo taking Bambietta' to the hospital as fast as possible. A lone male sternritter whose body, head and face was covered by a cloak, hood and googles. Stared directly at ichigom Ichigo and Keigo. Having sense and witness all the battles that occurred within the area.
The unknown man then lefted up one of his left index finger and placed it over a white earpiece in his left ear and spoke into it with a deep gravel voice.
'I want to form a council meeting with the commanders of the Heiliges Kongreich an urgent matter needs to be addressed'
