Swords to cut through hypnosis
Moving through the Seireitei with the hill behind them Ichigo ran with a wince as Orihime healed his wounds that remained before his Bankai healed him, Ichigo gave Orihime many thanks which made the girl blush at every praise, they all ran after Griffin after a scouting.
With Shadow rushing beside them with a growl of confusion, making Ichigo turn to him with a raised eyebrow, making him and the panther stop and face each other, the others stopped in confusion.
"Kurosaki, we don't have much time!" ignoring Uryu as he watched Shadow sniff the air with deep chuff's of his whiskers, the demon cat looked up the stairs suddenly with an infuriated growl that evolved into a roar of rage, making the panther's being ripple like an agitated cuttlefish as spikes rose from the smooth fur.
"You can smell Rukia… and a monkey?" seeing the panther turn and growl at Ichigo softly, the teens eyes widened suddenly as the others stopped at hearing a faint ringing in their ears and minds, with Ichigo recognizing the voice of Isane echoing in his mind.
"Acquisition successful!"
Turning to the others who looked around in alarm, Shadow glared up the stairs.
"All captains, assistant captains proxy assistant captains of the thirteen court guard and… all Ryoka. This is Kotetsu Isane, lieutenant of Unohana Retsu of fourth division. Hear my words! This is an urgent message… from Unohana Retsu, captain of the fourth division and myself. Listen carefully, for what I am about to tell you, is the truth"
What followed next was alarming details of the supposed dead captains reemergence as a traitor with two others, this had the entire group discussing this revelation while Ichigo and Shadow looked up to the hill, focusing his reiatsu to sense anything. Ichigo's eyes widened as Kuro yelled in his mind.
"She's up there!" startling the others as he suddenly sprinted with renewed vigor to his body. The others shared a split second before rushing after the teen with Shadow running beside him. The others yelling for him to wait.
"What?" was all the came from Sōsuke Aizen as he stared at Abarai Renji with his false identity, the calm and caring Captain, with Ichimaru Gin and Kaname Tousan behind him, Kaname sporting wounds and Gin… why was his hair stand up everywhere.
Neverminding that, the traitor stared at the resistant Renji before him as he growled in protest, Rukia in his arms protectively.
"I said… no. Aizen!" staring at Abarai with a small amount of irritation, Aizen noticed Gin about to unleash his zanpakutō until he spoke.
"I see. Wait, Gin" raising a hand to his fellow traitor, Aizen spoke.
"You're stubborn Abarai-san, if you won't give me Rukia. Then I cannot hep you. But I'll let you have you're way. Rukia will remain in you're arms. But the rest of you has to go" moving to strike the red haired man, his eyes stared in surprise as Abarai blocked all but one slash to his arms, leaving him bleeding while holding Rukia in his uninjured arm.
"You're defensive skills have improved, Abarai. You've grown. That pleases me, but…" smiling with hidden sadism now, Aizen spoke.
"You've chosen a bad time to be resistant"
Feeling his Reiatsu pulse in irritation as he sensed the battle, one sided as it was above the stairs, ichigo and Shadow were now on the clock as this Reiatsu began to overpower Renji's.
Looking to the right at sensing others approaching, Kuro appeared in his vision with a nod, getting one from ichigo himself, he focused fully into his flash step, making headway upward with record speed.
And upon finally arriving to the top, ichigo's and Kuro's world slowed to a crawl as he watched a brown haired captain lowering his zanpakutō onto a heavily wounded Renji, Rukia watching helplessly, Ichigo summoned Shadow in record time with his Cane aimed directly at the Captain.
Followed by Shadow's neck and head turning into a spear that shot at the Captain's zanpakutō in an intercept course.
The resounding clang was music to ichigo's strained ears as he flashed between Renji and this supposed dead Captain, holding his Cane like a golf club, he swung at Sosuke Aizen who did not anticipate the strike.
Which made Aizen stumble at the pain between his legs, he failed to keep his calm while stepping away. Feeling his legs quiver at the pain, he forced himself to stand calmly as Gin gave a silent snort, gaining a glare of pain from Aizen that silenced him.
Turning to Renji and Rukia with a worried glance, Ichigo spoke while turning back to the captains.
"Renji, you and Rukia alright?"
"Yeah, just didn't expect any of this shit to happen, especially the fucking bastard with glasses being a scumbag manipulator!"
"Well don't worry, I'll try and keep him off of you"
"I didn't want to intrude so I let him in" seeing Aizen keep his calm during the pain, he spoke with a strain in his voice.
"That's alright, despite my pain. Just another ant to step on. It makes no difference" seeing the two glare at him while Rukia frowned in worry.
"Renji, get ready to run" turning his eyes to ichigo as he unsheathed the Wakizashi, Rukia watched in worry as Ichigo held it with both hands.
"What makes you think I'm running, he's a cunning bastard now, he may have more tricks up his sleeve." Raising his broken Shikai, Renji continued.
"He may have broken Zabimaru. But I have my own tricks, plus running away will be pointless if they decide to use that ribbon again" glaring at Aizen as he shifted Rukia in his grip, Ichigo called upon shadow and Griffin for the upcoming fight.
"If we can stun them long enough, we can find a chance"
Smiling as Renji readied himself, ichigo spoke.
"Then let's get this party started shall we?"
"We have one chance at this so don't miss" raising his broken sword into the air, Renji stabbed it into the ground.
"Higa Zekkō!" seeing the broken segments of the zanpakutō float high into the air, they all converged onto Aizen, while Ichigo readied with the Wakizashi poised to strike, and seeing the explosion from the impact, ichigo flashed towards Aizen with a strike ready… only to stop dead in it's tracks… from one finger.
Seeing the smug bastard smile, ichigo's world flared into pain as he was grabbed by shadow and pulled to safety, the panther roaring at Aizen in rage, sending it's head flailing at an amused Aizen, his eyes widened suddenly as he felt thousands of volts hit his system, leaving him open for the spiked mace to hit his stomach. Flashing away in alarm as the two summons, his mind went through thoughts and plans in worry.
'They, are immune to my hypnosis' thinking back to the small hypnosis he had placed upon the boy as he struck. The two summons however, ignored what he made them see in favour of striking him. Staring at the two in alarming anger, he spoke to Gin who had his fox like smile.
"Gin, kill them" seeing the man from before, Griffin dived out of danger, his tail feathers taking a hit, Shadow roared as he swung his head as Gin who smiled passively as he dodged the attack. Allowing Aizen to appear behind a stunned Renji who fell from the strike he should have seen, allowing Aizen a small amount of worry to fade at his perfect Hypnosis still in affect, he turned to Rukia who stared at her two friends in horror.
"Now, get up. Kuchiki Rukia" feeling her collar grabbed roughly she was hoisted to her feet as Gin and the two summons fought.
Seeing the girl before him stand limply, Aizen spoke with a soft smile.
"Ah, I see. You're unresponsive from my Reiatsu"
Leading her towards Gin and Kaname, the bird was finally knocked down from a strike from Kaname who moved to end the birds life if not for Shadow to send a venus fly trap mouth at the blind man who jumped back just in time.
"But there's no need to worry, It just makes it easier to move you" hearing a shift from Ichigo, turning he saw Shadow urging the teen to move while griffin vanished into the teens tattoo's.
Making Aizen frown at the unexpected change for his future plans, he merely ignored it.
Turning to Gin, he spoke.
"Be sure their dead, I wish for no interruptions" feeling a landing behind him, Aizen sensed Komamura with ease, turning to the large wolf man as he swung down upon him, Aizen lifted his arm up with little care.
"AIZEN!"
Feeling the impact roll off of himself with little effort, Aizen smiled as the cloud faded away, Aizen spoke.
"Hado 90. Kurohitsugi" what followed next was a one sided battle with the large wolf man falling in defeat.
Failing to see Ichigo awake and setting himself upright with his right elbow, he watched in silence as Aizen summoned pillars of light around both him and Rukia, Ichigo watched helplessly as the Captain plunged his arm into Rukia's chest…
What followed next was a blinding rage, a rage mirrored by all three of the spirits within his soul, his eyes flashing between a calming blue a deep purple and an unnerving yellow.
Standing up with his wounds ignored for now, Aizens topped and turned in time to see Ichigo plunge hiszanpakutō into his chest, glaring at Aizen with a deep scowl, Aizen's eyes widened as Ichigo spoke with a calm voice among the wind.
"Bankai"
"Kill her Gin, I will handle this my-" was all Aizen managed to say before a vicious right hook sent him tumbling, startling him into releasing Rukia who was caught by the protective arms of Byakuya of all people, his attire somewhat repaired. Turning his eyes to ichigo they widened as Yamato stood with a calm rage in his eyes. Turning to Gin the man fell to his knee's as slash's appeared all over his being, Kaname fell to his own knees at the suffocating rage from the Reiatsu alone.
Turning back to Aizen, the man still had the soft smile on his lips as he held a gem in the hand he stabbed Rukia with.
And seeing the man acting smug.
IT JUST ANGERED YAMATO AND ICHIGO!.
Let's see how he works with one arm, shall we?
Moving fluidly into a stance, Aizen frowned at the quick slash and calm sheathing of the blade, the sound of the clink was all the warning he got before he felt numbness in his right wrist.
Looking down with fear, his eyes widened at seeing his pinky and ring finger absent.
Or better yet, two fingers less…
Feeling his arms open with fresh wounds, Aizen's eyes widened as he felt extreme pain in his now bleeding arms, looking to ichigo, his mind spoke in horror.
'He's immune… to my hypnosis!?'
Scowling in rage as he moved to strike with his remaining hand, Aizen's eyes widened in even more rage as his hand was gripped by Yoruichi of all people, and seeing a Claymore of all things aimed to stab his heart from Yoruichi and a Zanpakutō from Suì-Fēng.
Aizen froze in rage as he glared at Yamato/Ichigo who approached.
Moving to strike the man, Yamato/ichigo noticed Rukia staring at him in awe and shock.
"Don't move. You so much as twitch a finger"
"And you lose you're head" turning to both Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng respectively, Aizen spoke suddenly as he stared over the Seireitei.
"What about them?" turning to see three giants approaching with vicious grins, Yamato/Ichigo stared at the sight, turning to Aizen with a blank stare, the two shared a moment of eye contact before Yamato approached the ledge, raising his free hand, Aizen frowned in confusion before he watched Yamato/Ichigo snap their fingers.
Leaving nothing but silence until a blur slammed into Kaiwan, followed by Nightmare rising up from it's landing with a challenging roar, followed by another figure landing beside them.
"Hey, Yoruichi, I got bored so I came to watch the fun!"
"Kukaku!?" smiling at the woman with the four giants facing off, allowing Yamato/Ichigo to turn back to Aizen who stared back with a shocked look in his eyes. They widened further as he felt a small sharp prick at his adams apple.
And seeing the stoic face of Yamato/Ichigo.
"It's over" staring at the being before him as Aizen froze at the enchanting glare aimed at him, he forced his eyes to Yoruichi.
"What?"
"Can't you see. You're surrounded and at the mercy of a very angry zanpakutō spirit and it's wielder" staring as all the captains minus Kurotsuchi, Aizen stared at the sight for a second… before smiling.
"What's with the smile?" staring at the narrowed eyes of the being before him, he watched in amazement as he grabbed both Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng and leaped back, just as a yellow beam crashed down protectively around Aizen, a panting Gin, and a stoic Kaname who had recovered from the reiatsu.
Seeing the mass of Menos grande as they tore open into the Seireitei, Yoruichi felt herself held protectively by Yamato/ichigo as they all stared at the sight.
Not even hearing all watching the sight, Yamato/Ichigo looked to Aizen who smiled victoriously.
"He's rising" seeing the fat man speak true words, Yamato/Ichigo watched as they went to stop him until an old voice spoke an order.
"Stop!" choosing to ignore the old man to give a deep reminder to the man before him as he rose, Yamato/Ichigo released Yoruichi from his grip to step forward, seeing Aizen smiling at him. He lost the smile however as he watched Yamato slowly unsheathe his blade above his head, eyes glowing with power, the man spoke.
"Here's a reminder of us" swiping above his head once, those watching frowned in confusion as he slowly sheathed the zanpakutō.
And with the clink of it fully sheathed, a wave reiatsu stretched outward, with Aizen's glasses cut in two on his face… followed by a deep cut to forever scar his once flawless face, and the now absent right hand.
Leaving Aizen screaming in pain and rage as he fell to his knee's allowing those watching to stare at Yamato/ichigo in awe and shock.
Leaving his bankai to rest, ichigo suddenly felt his wounds weight as he fell to his knee's. clutching his stomach tightly, he turned to Rukia and Yoruichi as they ran to his aid before he fell unconscious.
