YumYum495: I am glad you enjoyed the chapter. I know you said that I didn't have to answer you questions but I will answer this one. The Bronze Plate armor is something I came up with because her armors that were listed didn't work with the scene and the people she had to fight. I hope you have been getting enough sleep. I know how it is when we don't. It sucks.

Kenpachi1: I am happy you are enjoying the story.

"I guess I do then. That would explain why my inner spirit is still asleep. Not once since being here has my blade departed from my back. That is the only reason he's been asleep since I got here. You counted on me never wanting to part from him." Teal eyes narrowed knowingly, "What you didn't count on was me figuring you out. Too bad for you."

The red eyed man growled storming over to where the Zanpakuto blade fell off the stage. Toshiro could still feel his magic draining slowly but he focused on the man as he walked back over with his blade. Sitting up straight he waited for the opportune time. By the time the man reached him he was forced to let go of the blade as it nearly flash froze his hand making Toshiro smirk as he heard a voice he had missed dearly at this point. 'DON'T TOUCH ME!'

Now:

The red eyed man held his hand as he backed away from the frosting of the stage caused by the sword. Now that the red eyes were forced out of his inner world the hole that had been in his Spiritual Pressure was closing up. It closed quickly allowing Toshiro to flash freeze the chains on his and Natsu as wells as the center podium holding up the Dragon Statue. With those frozen they were broken quickly by the Dragon Slayers causing the statue to fall to the ground with a loud thump. This made the red eyed man yell angrily, "How dare you! You have no right to do this! You will not deny me!"

"Sorry, but I think we are."

Natsu quickly pulled the fire that was along the wall he was facing boosting his magic while Toshiro picked up his Zanpakuto. He unsheathed the blade as Natsu stood next to him with a cocky grin, "Not so tough without your groupies are you?"

While the over confidence annoyed Toshiro he let it go in favor of paying attention to the red eyed man. He looked furious as he eyed them. "I will get my power one way or another even if I had to force you to."

The white haired Dragon Slayer snorted, "You were already doing that."

"You weren't giving my men a chance to explain. My man had to take drastic measures."

Teal eyes narrows irritated, "We weren't giving him a chance to explain for a reason. The first thing he said to us to go with him. He said he would explain when we got to where we were going. That was the only explanation we got. Why would we go with him without a proper explanation?"

Natsu nodded as the flames around his fists intensified, "Yeah, and the way he was acting didn't make us want to go with him anyway."

The red eyed man sighed, "Things didn't have to be this way." Toshiro got ready as the man looked at them and shook his head. "I guess I'll have to do this the hard way." Toshiro tensed as the man held out his hand, "I wish I didn't have to do this but to ensure my power is strong I will." Shadows shot off the man's body forcing Toshiro and Natsu to dodge as shadow golem formed in front of them.

Natsu grinned, "Let's play!" He shot forward his fist blazing with fire. Toshiro waited for the Fire Dragon Slayer to get close before charging forward himself. When Natsu got hit in the face and sent flying away Toshiro jumped over his flying body and onto the golem's back. Stabbing the blade into the golems back caused it to cry out and swing its arms wildly to get the ice user off its back.

Happy with his test the half Soul Reaper jumped off the golem and landed next to Natsu. "It may be tough but we can defeat it. I can cut into its skin with no problem."

"That means roasting it should be real fun then." The pinkette replied with a wild grin, "I'm all fired up for this." Toshiro nodded in agreement darting forward with his fellow Fairy Tail member. When the golem tried to hit them the two separated and attacked from two different sides. Toshiro cut the right side while Natsu sent a wave of fire on the left. In response the golem spun with its arms waving around wildly. The two easily dodged it's wild attempt to hit them.

Teal eyes narrowed as he decided to watch the Fire Dragon Slayer take on the golem. Clearly it was immune to the elements but not the strength of the attacks. So long as they made contact with their attacks they could easily beat the golem. The stage shook causing the white haired male look behind him and sigh. 'Why? Why do the villains always have to have another one?' He jumped up calling out, "Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens, Hyorinmaru!" The blade looked the same but had the addition of a thin chain and a crescent moon blade at the end. Swinging the chain around he slashed the ground already knowing that elements could do nothing to the golem. As cuts were made on the ground icicles formed in their place. With him as high in the air as he was Toshiro could see Erza easily fighting against the three that had helped set up the ceremony. The guy who could do the heat lights and the guy who could do the chain were out of the equation as they were knocked out in their own corners. That left the one that could move the room around.

As he was going down he could see the golem that fighting him looked ready to catch him. However the golem found a rude awakening as the white haired boy twisted in the air and cut the golem on the face. Ice grew where the cut was but fell off not moments later. In anger the golem tried to slam its fist into the just landing male only to find its fist stuck in the ground with ice. Toshiro acted quickly and cut the golem's head off. With the first golem down he turned to help Natsu only to find that the pyro managed to defeat his with a final punch to the face. The pinkette cheered, "You see that? You are no match for us."

Toshiro watch as the red eyed man sneered at Natsu, "I'm going to drain you dry of magic then kill you myself."

Teal eyes narrowed but was pleasantly surprised as the pinkette pointed at the man glaring angrily at him, "Many have tried and failed. You will be another because I will not lose to you."

The Soul Reaper could tell what Natsu said was true. The fact that he reminded him of Kurosaki helped him know that it would take a lot more to take him down. His personality may be brash but it was because of that with this kind of person that they would succeed. It was just how things worked with them. Toshiro shook his head, 'I swear if I end up comparing the Fairy Tail members to people I know it will be like I never left that place.' He felt at ease with Natsu, much like he did with Ichigo. Natsu was the kind of person you could really depend on even if he was a bit of a fool about it.

Seeing the state that the red eyed man was in gave Toshiro an idea. "Dragneel, follow my lead." The teens burning eyes looked at Toshiro as he nodded. The Fire Dragon Slayer jumped into action at the same time as the Ice Dragon Slayer. Both of them were delivering heavy blows forcing the red eyed man to be on the defensive. "Keep up the attacks I need to try something."

Natsu just gave a nod as the Toshiro looked at the side of the wall. The pink haired male was grinning as he continued to deliver attack after attack. The red eyed man growled, "I'll make you regret turning against me. Mark my words."

"All talk no bite." The fire wizard replied delivering a kick to the man's head. The man went flying and crashed into the wall. The two went to charge at each other but jumped back when ice flew in between them.
