Chapter 22 Segunda Etapa
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
The masters and the grandfather of Draco have arrived at Hueco Mundo with the Shinigami.
"Well Draco it seems you always find a way to get into trouble."Mutaito said.
Draco grunts and his grandfather saw the box Mila Rose was carrying."I see that Nezuko is sleeping."
"Yes, which is good so she won't have to see this kind of fighting."Draco said.
"But why are you all here?"Alphamon asked.
"As we told you the war is starting, so it's your move."Wu said.
"Your move?"Uryu said.
"You didn't think they were just going to sit around."Mutaito said.
"Gramps wanted us to help."Yachiru said.
Szayel thinks of a plan but then saw Nnoitra charging foward. That idiotic barbarian, this requires a more precise call not brute force.
Victor blocks his weapons and pushes him back.
"But why are you here, I thought you guys labeled Orihime as a traitor and wouldn't come to save her?"Ichigo said.
"We were able to convince them with help from another person."Mutaito said.
"Athe was cool."Yachiru said.
"Athe?"Aka said before his eyes widen."Lady Athena, where is she?"He looks around.
"Athena, a goddess is here."Szayel got worried.
"You knew they were here?"Uryu said.
"Of course, I sent them here."Mutaito said surprising them."I asked Team Light to come here to investigate a evil, I didn't tell him the entire reason so they wouldn't be caught."
"I see."Draco nodded since some would have been stupid.
"Now it's time you take your friends and prepare to the next stage."Yoda said.
Nnoitra was still fighting Victor and Tesla runs foward."Lord Nnoitra."
"Hmph."Leonidas shoots snakes at Tesla binding him.
"Very interesting, this mark you've made is very promissing, you are a interesting one, I'm also fond how you were able to turn your own parents into puppets."Kurotsuchi said.
"How did you..."Leonidas was in shock.
"Know about your creations? It's simple."he points at Uryu."See that Quincy there, I had injected him with observational bacteria. I have been witnessing all of his events within Hueco Mundo including the fights with that Espada."
Uryu then paled."You did what?!"
"Oh great, here comes a speech."Kurotsuchi said.
"You darn right, bacteria? When did that happen? You mean from that one fight? How long have you been watching me? How much have you seen?"Uryu demanded.
Kurotsuchi just rolled his eyes.
"Hey don't ignore me."Uryu said.
"Enough talking, don't treat me if I'm not here."Nnoitra said.
"Your rather loud aren't you?"Kurotsuchi said.
"Yeah, you should see when someone is stronger than you."Victor said holding both swords.
Rukia and Chad got up and they got surprised to see what's happening.
"Wait, what's going on?"Rukia said.
"Hey you woke up."Aka said.
"Yeah, who are you?"Rukia asked.
"Well, my name is Aka, a member of Team Light."He smirks.
"Wait."She then remembers that name, her opponent always said that he wanted to consume Team Light.
"Yes, I must say now that you are awake your more beautiful then I thought."He said.
She stares at him before blushing."What?!"
"What he's flirting with her?!"Renji was in shock.
"Give it a rest, he does that a lot."Draco said.
Rukia was shaking while he was holding her hand."I don't think this is the right time."
Then the ground next to Nemu shook and a tentacle grabbed her shocking them.
"Ha, you should have been paying attention."Szayel said.
"Let her go."Alphamon said.
"Don't even try anything, one wrong move and I'll crush her."Szayel said.
"If you think taking me as a hostage will you make you win, then you are mistaken."Nemu said.
"Silence, you will only speak when spoken."Szayel said.
Leonidas then thinks of a plan and then he saw Kurotsuchi take out his sword."Bankai!"
They then saw it glow before transforming into some kind of hybrid of a humanoid and a insect.
"What is that thing."Yui said.
Draco saw it spew out some kind of purple gas."Everyone get out!"The others jumped away while Szayel got hit by the gas.
"What's this, some kind of bacteria, I'm sure that I can adapt."He then sees the parts of his tentacles explode with the gas."What?"He then punches another one and sees his arm getting numb."If only I had more time."He then sees the creature go towards him."Damn damn damn."Then it ate him, they saw it getting up and chewing with one tentacle that was hanging out which is the one holding Nemu.
Kurotsuchi then looked behind him and saw Leonidas come out of the ground making him smirk."My, what a interesting trick."
"Why thank you, this techique allows me to become one with the ground, I used it to avoid that attack."Leonidas said.
"Yes, but seeing your other techniques you could have avoided it too with changing bodies."Kurotsuchi said.
"Maybe so, but it's better to be safe than sorry, if not it will cost your own life."Leonidas said.
They then heard Nemu screaming.
"What?"Leonidas looks at her and sees some kind of gas coming out of her mouth.
"You really thought you killed me."They heard Szayel's voice as something was growing out of the gas."Behold, my most brilliant techinque Gabriel."They saw him coming back."It allows me to be reborn inside of my enemy thanks to my own energy, I devour my way through my host, now I am reborn."They saw Szayel come back landing on the ground.
Leonidas looks at Nemu who fell to the ground and he gets angry, he saw her form that was very pale.
"Did you both get that, by constantly renewing my body I will continue to exist for all eternity, do you understand, that is immortality. Eternally repeating that cycle of death and rebirth, an existence such as this... truly, mine is what may be called a 'perfect existence'!"He then points at Leonidas."The concept of mortality does not exist no matter how many times you try you snake."
Leonidas walks past him and kneels down to Nemu to look at her.
"Who are you?"Nemu said looking at Leonidas.
"Aw, what's wrong? Can't stand seeing another person on the verge of death, of course you are a hero so this must hurt you."Szayel said and he then laughs."But no matter, this girl is like the empty cocoon a butterfly leaves behind, similar to how you described making a new body with a snake shedding it's own skin."
Leonidas lifts his right arm up and changes it back to normal making Szayel stop, he then sees Leonidas put it in front of Nemu while lifting her head up, she then bites it and to his surprise he saw her getting healed.
"That's impossible!"Szayel got shocked seeing that.
While Kurotsuchi was interested.
Roka goes to Leonidas side and checks her vitals."She will be fine."
"What did you do?! Tell me!"Szayel said.
Leonidas gets up while putting Nemu down."The power of the Uzumaki clan."He then stares at Szayel."You see the Uzumaki clan is a special type of people that have great abilities that I added into my own body, one of them is the chains you once saw me use, the second is high reserves of energy and the third one you saw is the ability to heal another one by letting them bite the user."He then shows other bite marks."These marks were from Roka."
She then blushes being reminded.
"I allowed her to bite me to take some my own energy to heal herself, it was the only way to heal her while we developed the curse mark, this power is a act of kindness something that you could never understand, I picked these powers for more than just for battle."He then changes his arm back.
"How delightful."Kurotsuchi smiled."You have such amazing abilities that you added into your own body."He then looks at both of them."And is that all you can do, after all one of you called yourself a perfect being."
"I like to show off my skills in battle."Leonidas said.
Szayel then saw Nnoitra arm get sliced off by Victor letting a axe come down, he then smirks and uses his tentacles to pick it up and throws it towards Leonidas.
Roka saw that and said:"Leo, looks out!"But he got sliced in half by his waist shocking them.
Szayel smirks but then he saw many snakes come out of both halves of his body and they pulled him back together before he was healed himself.
"Did you really think I wouldn't have a counter against something like that, should my body get cut in half the snakes will simply pull me back together."Leonidas said.
"Leonidas."Mutaito said getting his attention."It's time for you and the others to go."
Victor hits Nnoitra back and transforms back.
"What the hell do you think your doing?"Nnoitra got angry.
"What does it look like we're done."Victor said.
"We are not, not until one of us is dead."Nnoitra said.
"Yeah right, heres a little secret, I was saving my power in the devil trigger."Victor said.
"What, you were still holding back."Nnoitra got mad.
"Yes."Victor said.
Leonidas changes back and puts on his shirt, he then sees his pendant on the ground and he picks it up before putting it on."Yes, it's time."He looks at Nemu one more time and he could sense this girl was damaged before coming here.
Nemu stares at Leonidas before Roka goes to his side, she didn't feel the type of kindness given to her like how he did.
"Well Szayel have fun."Leonidas said.
"Let the Shinigami deal with them."Wu said.
"Not much of a fight, but go on, we'll fight later I'm excited to fight a demon."Kenpachi said.
"I need to collect these two speciments before they're damaged too much, so I'll let you go this time."Kurotsuchi said.
Team Light then took they're allies foward while Szayel and Nnoitra watches them leave with anger.
"One of these days, I will surpass you Leonidas."Szayel said.
The group ran foward together and Nel said."Will they be alright?"
"We did most of the fighting, they can't barely stand anymore."Victor said.
"Yeah, I think they can do it."Leonidas said and he looks at Ichigo."Also we didn't get introduced, I'm Leonidas."
"I'm Victor."He said.
"Aka."
"Zack."
"Kazuo."
"I'm Hank."
"And I'm Draco, also it seems you met Yui already."He said.
"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki."He said.
"That was amazing what you did Victor."Orihime said.
"Why thank you."Victor smirks."But now we need to take you back."
"Yes, I'll open a way out."Harribel said.
But then Starrk appears behind Orihime grabbing her shoulder.
"Sorry, but I'll be taking her."he said.
"Starrk!"Aka got shocked.
He looks at them."Never thought you would betray us Harribel."
"Starrk listen to me, Aizen is only using us, don't listen to him."Harribel said.
He then looks at Nel."Never thought I would see you again Nelliel."
"Starrk please, Harribel is right."She said.
"I don't have a choice."He said.
"Wait Starrk!"Aka runs towards him.
"Sorry Aka, I really thought we could have been friends."He then sonido's away
"No!"Victor said.
"He took her away."Apacci said.
"But where?!"Loly said.
Harribel used Pesquisa and looks at the tower."She's in the throne room."
"Let's go."Victor said.
They then ran foward to the area.
"This doesn't many any sense, why kidnap Orihime again?"Hank said.
"It must be appart of Aizen's plans."Draco said.
They then heard Aizen's voice."I congratulate you for all your efforts, you've gone through to rescue Orihime Inoue. Your welcome to take since I have no further use for her."
"What?"Victor said.
"What does he mean?"Ichigo said.
"Her ability to reject fate is quiet intriguing, but her only purpose was to bring soul society's captains here."Aizen said.
"He used her bait!"Yui said making Victor angry.
"Now that the soul society is now here, I shall begin the destruction of Karakura town to create the spirit key, if you want her back come and get her."He said.
"Aizen!"Victor growled.
"Also a last few words to my former allies Team Light, I am impressed for you to switch sides of my loyal Espada, I hope you both come to Karakura town there you shall see what your have thrown away."Aizen said.
"Just you wait."Victor said.
"What do we do know lady Harribel?"Apacci asked.
"If we don't go to Karakura town everything will be destroyed."Renji said.
"Don't worry."Yoda sent a message to them."The shinigami aren't ignorant to let a important place unguarded, Aizen is going into a trap."
"He is?"Ichigo asked.
"Yes, now save your friend."Yoda said.
They kept going until they saw the Rudobon and his group appear."No one will pass."
Then the fraccion, Privaron, Loly, Menoly, Chad, Rukia. Renji and Uryu went to face them.
"Don't worry we'll take care of them."Mila Rose said.
"You guys just go and help your friend."Loly said.
Team Light looked at each other and nodded as they ran foward.
"Take care of Nezuko!"Draco said and Mila Rose nodded.
They then arrived and busted through the door to see the throne room that had a big hole from Ichigo's fight, standing there was Ulquiorra and Orihime.
"Everyone!"Orihime was happy to see them.
"So you have all arrived."Ulquiorra said.
"Let Orihime go!"Ichigo said with his sword out.
Ulquiorra looks over him making Ichigo mad since he didn't consider him a threat, his eyes were at Team Light, Nel and Harribel.
"So you betayed us for petty reasons as love."He said.
"You wouldn't understand, I truly do love Draco."Harribel said.
"It's doesn't matter if those feelings are true or not."He said.
"It doesn't have to be this way Ulquiorra."Aka said.
"What do you expect me to do, swear my loyalty to the Shinigami?"He said.
"No, just stay out of this war."Yui said.
"And remain a neutral party."He said.
"Yes."Hank said.
"How were you all able to betray us?"Ulquiorra asked.
"Huh?"Yui said.
"How were you able to betray us? You have been in Hueco Mundo for so long, you have lived among, fought along side us, yet you betrayed us."
Draco stares at him and said:"We are Team Light, we defend those that are in need, we do not kill the innocent, did you really think we would do it?"
"No, I know of your own morals, and you made most of those arrancars including Harribel follow you with love and friendship."he said.
"It's shows they're more human than you."Zack said.
"It doesn't matter, now I must get rid of you."Ulquiorra said.
"We'll see about that."Ichigo said and he charges at Ulquiorra.
"Wait, Ichigo!"Yui said.
They clashed blades making a big spritual pressure happen.
"Were coming."Victor said and they took out they're weapons charging at Ulquiorra.
Zack takes out a sword called the Monado and slashes at Ulquiorra with both fo his swords.
Then Hank, Yui and Kazuo attacked Ulquiorra who used his Sonido away until Ichigo slashes him from behind.
"Guys leave him to me, just protect Orihime!"Ichigo said.
"No way Ichigo."Aka said.
"We need to work together to get a chance to beat him."Hank said.
"Plus Draco is already doing that."Victor said.
Ichigo saw that Draco was standing next to her.
Harribel was watching the fight and raised an eyebrow, Ulquiorra was always one to see the odds of a fight and not make any mistakes.
"This is unlike him, Ulquiorra was never this reckless to fight all three of them."Nel said.
"I don't like this, we must be careful."Harribel said and Nel nodded.
They floated to the sky and started to attack Ulquiorra at the same time with Yui and Leonidas blasting him from a distance.
"She's already one of us."Ulquiorra said making Orihime sad.
"That's not up to you to decide."Ichigo said.
"Yes, its Lord Aizen's."He said.
"Give it up, we didn't join you and neither will she."Victor said.
Ulquiorra saw his point and he charges up a cero and shoots at it, Leonidas then goes in front and used his AT field to block it.
"So that shield can stop a cero."Ulquiorra said.
Ichigo saw his chance and tries to attack him only for Ulquiorra to dodge it and try to slash at him but then a orange barrier stopped the attack, they saw it was Orihime who did it.
"Nice work."Victor said and she smiled.
"Why did you protect him?"Ulquiorra asked making her nervous.
"It's called the right chance moron."Yui said.
"Really or it could be something else."Ulquiorra said.
"Orihime thanks for the save, but leave this to me, Draco Harribel, Nelliel protect Orihime."Ichigo said.
Victor glares at Ichigo, before he goes to attack Ulquiorra again.
But then Yammy bursts through the wall and he was bigger, he looks at the group and smirks."So betrayed us after all you guys."
"Yammy."They said.
"You've finally awoken Yammy, I see your healed."Ulquiorra said.
"Yeah."He then saw Nel."Who are you?"
"I am Nelliel, the former third espada."She said.
He smirks."So the current and former one, this should be fun."
But then Draco punches him through the wall and said:"I'll keep him busy."He then jumps out of the room to fight him.
"Hope Draco can deal with him."Hank said.
"Are you kidding, it's Draco we're talking about, even if he doesn't want to show off his power he won't get hurt."Victor said.
They then saw Ulquiorra go outside flying up.
"Oh no you don't!"Ichigo follows him.
"He's going to release himself."Harribel said.
"Oh no!"The guys then went after him with Harribel coming along.
"Let me go too!"Orihime said to Nel.
She looks at her and nodded taking her too.
They then saw Ulquiorra changing and he was now in his released state, fighting against Ichigo.
"Destroy, Triburon!"Harribel changed.
"Declare, Gamuza."Nel puts Orihime down and transforms too.
"Wow!"Yui saw Harribel's new form and how much skin she's showing off with a big arm blade."I wonder what Draco would have said if he saw her."
Ulquiorra knocks Ichigo away before the group went in front of him.
"You better surrender."Leonidas said.
"Surrender, why?"He asked.
"Simple, it's eleven against one now, with Harribel being your superior."Victor said.
"No."They saw Ichigo get up."This... Is my fight, stay out of it!"
Yui got mad and elbows him in the gut surprising them."You are stupid!"She then punches him in the face."Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"She kept hitting him before holding him by his clothes."Why are you always trying to fight others by yourself, we had trouble fighting him and now you want to face him in your condition, even if Orihime heals you, you can't win!"
Ichigo stares at her in shock and Zack said:"Man, she's pissed off."
"She's is smarter than him."Ulquiorra said."She's able to determine the situation in hand and realised the best chance all of you have is fighting me all at the same time."He then stares at them."I must tell one truth I wasn't going all out."
"What?!"Harribel got shocked.
"I shall show you true despair, behold, the segunda etapa."He then gets covered by darkness with a hint of green.
The entire area changed with a crushing darkness making them worried, then they saw Ulquiorra appear with his white coat is gone, revealing his slender white torso, with his bare chest patterned so his Hollow hole appears to be dripping black, blood-like liquid. his waist becomes covered in something similar to black fur, which covers his arms and legs, his fingers grow claw-like extensions, and his feet resemble talons, the irises of his eyes turn yellow, and the sclera become green, the tear-like marks under his eyes increase in size and turn black, Ulquiorra's mask is completely gone and he has two large bat ears.
"What?"Victor said looking at the form."He has a second form."
"But that's impossible."Harribel said.
"This is a form unique to me, not even Lord Aizen knows about it."He said.
Victor then changes into his devil trigger form with the others transforming too with Hank using his fire dragon slayer magic.
He then appears behind Harribel, he prepared to strike until he used his hand to block Nel's lance, he tossed her asside but she recovered quickly, Harribel then tries to slash at him with tiburon but he blocked it with his bare hands, he then throws her away.
Team Light attacked him only for Ulquiorra to send most of the team outside leaving only Yui, Victor and Zack.
"La Gota!"
"Lanzador Verde!"
Both Nel and Harribel attacked Ulquiorra at the same time, he dodged them and appears next to Nel and rips her arm off.
"Nel!"Victor yelled out.
Ichigo charges at him."Getsuga-"But Ulquiorra grabs him but the mouth.
"Now to show you true despair."He then charges up a Cero Oscuras.
"Stop it."BYui said but he fires a blast through his chest sending Ichigo to the ground.
"That monster!"Yui said.
Orihime screams at the sight of Ichigo lying on the ground, Victor was now mad."Your going to pay for that!"
He then charges at Ulquiorra who blocked his sword, he then breaks the blade shocking Victor and then charges up another Cero sending Victor away and he crashes to the ground reverting back to his base form.
Victor got up only for Ulquiorra to stabs his arm through his chest.
Orihime got scared seeing him like that, Ulquiorra then kicks Victor away and he gets up slowly with his hole regenerating.
"Why don't you give up, theres nothing you can do, accept your despair."Ulquiorra said.
"Despair."Victor said."You know nothing of my despair."Ulquiorra stares at him."A long time ago, I know what that felt."He looks at Orihime face, the same sad look he saw from his lost love."What I feel now isn't despair, it's anger."He then lifts up his sword and stabs himself shocking them.
"Victor!"Nel and Orihime said.
"What is the point of that?"Ulquiorra said.
"I always wonder, why did my father give me the Rebellion, it must have some kind of special power, but now I know what it is, it combines both demon and man together."Then his sword's other half goes towards him and they merge with his body making a big pillar of red energy making the darkness light up, then it stopped and they saw Victor in his new form, it was a form that was more feral and demonic than his previous one.(Dante's Sin Devil trigger form.)
He looks up to Ulquiorra and roars.
"Victor?"Orihime said.
He looks at her and she gets scared before he nodded making her smile.
He looks back at Ulquiorra and he summons his new sword, Devil Sword Victor.(it's the same one Dante uses.)
He then prepares himself to battle against Ulquiorra to show him the true wrath of a demon.
Note:Heres Ulquiorra's battle, most of the team got sent away, they are now helping out Draco after they got kicked of the tower but now Victor has now unlocked the Sin Devil trigger to use it against Ulquiorra.
