Devil May Cry 5 OST - The Duel
Staring at the very being before him with shock plastered over his entire being, he watched in shock as the man spung his blade slowly while backing away, flashing back to his previous spot, the man stood in wait, twirling his blade with a mocking lack of interest, Byakuya merely took this opportunity to strike while the man was distracted.
Sending a cloud of pink petal blades at Yamato, the man stopped as the cloud was cut to nothing, showing Yamato sheathing his Zanpakutō with his eyes closed, Byakuya felt his entire being shrouded in a dark Reiatsu as Yamato spoke one phrase that became the only warning he had.
"Judgement cut" flashing as the entire hill exploded into a dark aura, the ground was marred with slash marks. Falling to one knee as his chest bled, Byakuya forced himself upright while clutching a broken Senbonzakura.
Moving to stand up a blade was held to his throat, forcing him to look up to the calm expression of the Yamato.
Staring back at the being before him, Byakuya's eyes narrowed in focus as they were surrounded by pink Zanpakutō blades
Making the man look up with a raised eyebrow as the blades froze unmoving.
Looking back down to Byakuya the being flashed away as Byakuya spoke with renewed strength.
"Senkei, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" moving to speak to Ichigo, the noble stopped suddenly as the blades were severed in two by one swing of Ichigp's Zanpakuto.
Forcing them to reform with wide eyes, the Yamato glowed with purple Reiatsu.
Watching Yamato twirl the blade in hand, the man spoke.
"I'm waiting"
Holding a hand out for a Zanpakuto to fly to his grip, Byakuya flashed towards Ichigo who side stepped a stab to his abdomen, leaving Byakuya open for a backhand.
Wiping the blood from his nose at how hard that strike was, Byakuya glared at Ichigo who wiped the blood from his glove.
Moving to attack once more Byakuya stopped as Ichigo appeared above him, stopping himself to avoid a downward slash, Ichigo followed with another.
Forcing the Captain to once more avoid the strike, his eyes widened as he was surrounded by bright blue spiritual blades. Moving to avoid the attack, he stopped in place however as they shot into his being. Making him blanch at the small pricks in his chest. Byakuya looked up to Ichigo as he once more attempted a downward strike.
Only for Byakuya to summon a sword to parry.
Leaving the two at a deadlock.
"What's the matter, where did all this talk of killing us go" shoving the Captain away. Ichigo circled the captain while dragging their Zanpakuto along the ground, the Captain gave a groan as he stood up.
"Of all the Captain's we were hoping to fight, you are the most disappointing" swinging the blade once, the entire dome of pink blades were torn asunder once again.
"When you reawaken from you're defeat, I will be sure to repay the favour of what you did to us" moving to stand in front of Byakuya, the captain watched the being move to turn away if not for the man to lurch suddenly with a voice echoing.
"You took to long" seeing the being choke as a porcelain mask formed over Ichigo's face, the mask radiated hollow Reiatsu as Ichigo rose into a prideful stance.
Crimson Cloud - V's battle theme from Devil May Cry 5
Seeing yellow eyes stare at him through the mask with a V over the eyes. Byakuya stared at the being before him as it suddenly grabbed him by the throat and tossed him back.
"I most likely have a limit to my presence, So I'm going to enjoy this as much as I may please" hearing the smile in the voice, Byakuya watched as the being exploded with a sinister aura.
"SURVIVE THIS, CAPTAIN KUCHIKI!" watching as a wave of reiatsu spiralled throughout the battle field, the beings entire body took on a completely demonic appearance, though the Katana remained the same it did however radiate with power far beyond what it did before.
Seeing the human like face glare at him with clear insanity and power in it's eyes. Byakuya thanked his training for Captain as he brought his Zanpakutō to the right to block a strike, shocking him at seeing a clawed hand grinding against his Zanpakutō.
Flashing away while leaving the being laugh like a maniac, the beings head twitched with the laughter stopping, replacing itself with a calm air despite the hollowness permeating the air around them.
Staring at the being as it stared back, Byakuya's eyes widened as he turned to see the being standing behind him with it's back turned to him, it's hollow eyes simply staring at him.
Turning forward at sensing another presence, his eyes widened at the closeness of the yellow eyes boring into his own.
"You vowed to kill the queen of the frozen lake" feeling his limbs attacked with many slashes, the captain fell to his knee's in agony, forcing himself to look up to the merciless eyes of this being, he felt fear grip him as he watched the sheath release the Katana as it was poised for his throat.
"Farewell in the waters of the afterlife, Kuchiki Byakuya" seeing his life flash before his eyes as the blade moved towards him in slow motion, Byakuya's last thoughts were of Hisana, his deceased lover.
Or they would have if not for the other arm to suddenly grab the blade arm, the demonic appearance shattering like broken glass, showing the human arm beneath.
"We had this handled, Urizen!" dropping the Katana to stop the arm from reaching for the hollow mask, the being growled in protest.
"He must be punished!" seeing his death stumbling away with the Katana floating after it, Byakuya watched in shock as the reiatsu flickered between hells and Hollow.
"Do you think she would enjoy the news her brother had died by our hands!" seeing the being stop it's struggle with clarity, it stood up fully with a glare aimed at him.
"No, the thought of seeing her weep would wound my very being… fine, we will end this you're way, Yamato" reaching for the mask with both hands, the reiatsu flickered back to a calming aura as the mask was broken.
Leaving the Yamato in it's place.
Inhaling deeply to calm himself, Byakuya stood up with dignity as he watched the being turning to him.
"Our apologies, that was an unexpected interruption, shall we continue?" waiting for an answer, the being was about to attack if not for Byakuya raising a hand.
"Stop… I am at my limit of wounds" seeing the being stare in surprise, Byakuya winced as he finally took in his attire, his hair was loose like a wild mane, his haori was in tatters with only his squads insignia remaining recognizable.
And the large wound on his chest, he staggered to leave.
"Despite my honor to uphold the law, I will admit this victory to you, Kurosaki Ichigo, or whichever is in control at this moment." Shuffling away to the exit of the battlefield with his Bankai vanishing, Byakuya continued.
"This victory… belongs to you, just promise me one thing" stopping to turn to the being as it stood in silence, they made eye contact with respect.
"Protect Rukia, in my stead" with that the captain vanished with a flash.
Leaving the being in place before the changes receded to show Kurosaki Ichigo in his shikai's clothing. Panting as griffin emerged from his tattoo's alongside Shadow, they moved to his body to give him support.
"Well, that went better than expected, despite all things considered, he didn't even lay a finger on you when you went super Saiyan on his ass" giving a tired chuckle as he raised an arm for the bird to perch itself, Shadow smooched against Ichigo's legs with loud purrs, getting a head pat from the teen, they all stopped as Kuro appeared, though he looked… healthier than he did before, his skin gaining a livelier tan than it's borderline albino appearance, he smiled to Ichigo with tears falling from his eyes.
"Thank you, ichigo…. For healing me" smiling at the Zanpakutō spirit before him, Ichigo moved towards Kuro who blinked as he was brought into an embrace.
Leaving the two in silence.
"It was a team effort" turning to the unknown voice to the right, they both turned to the true form of Ichigo's Bankai, the being sitting on a throne with the Katana in hand, he gave a smile of respect.
"For now we must continue forth, for those who had helped us are still in battle" moving to speak, Ichigo felt himself about to fall if not for a body to grab him, forcing his Zanpakuto to vanish as Inoue Oirihime struggled to help him stand.
"Orihime, you beautiful creature, perfect timing" feeling himself set up, he turned to see the others approaching him in Shinigami robes.
And this… who was he.
"Who are you?" seeing the man stiffen he spoke quickly.
"Ignore me" shaking his head with a sigh.
The teen looked up with a bright smile that lit up the world, (in Orihime's opinion)
"I'm just glad you're all okay"
"Now let's go and catch up to Renji, I'm tired of fighting as of right now"
Yeah, I didn't know weither to make this fight one sided or fair with Vergil's Yamato and Byakuya's Senbonzakura, I was trying to even it and not make ichigo op, but we got this instead.
Anyway I have a poll for red queen on my profile, have no idea if it's on my profile but there's one for Orihime to get red queen or Tatsuki.
Also along with one asking if I should genderbend either Grimjoww or Ulquiorra for the harem
