Fatal separations
"Move it MOVE IT MOVE IT!" rolling out of the wave of ice with Rukia safely in his grasp, Ichigo stared at the rogue Zanpakuto with Harribel striking the woman with her blade, the two were set in a deadlock with Shirayuki, while Loki had been taking pot shots with a sealed Zanpakuto, his own logic working against them as he came close to being frozen on several occasions.
Staring at the two ladies fighting, Ichigo narrowed his eyes before summoning a doppelganger, sending it to assist Harribel, the blonde sent a thankful nod to him before back flipping to avoid a slash that was sooner moved to block a downward strike from the Doppelganger.
Moving to his side as the Zanpakuto became preoccupied with the doppelganger, Harribel spoke while looking over Rukia.
"Is she stable?" nodding in relief, Ichigo spoke.
"Yes, she is, whatever Loki stopped her from doing put a big strain on her reiatsu-" whatever else he was about to say, was halted by the sight of Loki being flash frozen as he was thrown away.
Moving to protect Rukia, another figure appeared beside Shirayuki who was about to approach Ichigo until he spoke.
"You are taking too long" turning to the man with a surprised gasp, Shirayuki relaxed somewhat while Loki glared at the Zanpakutō before them, breaking his head free of the ice prison, he turned his head to ichigo with a wince.
"Ichigo, that's the Zanpakutō, keep Yamato away from him!" turning to Loki, the sight of his once cheerful face stunned Ichigo as it showed one expression… fear.
Turning back to the man, Shirayuki was about to approach Rukia and Harribel until Ichigo moved between them, glaring at the woman, she was about to attack until Maramusa spoke.
"Return to the others… " turning to the man who "Free'd" her, the ice Zanpakutō left with a flash, leaving Ichigo against the man whose blank face became a smirk.
"So you are the father of those children, barely old enough to walk yet have the power to call their Zanpakutō" seeing Ichigo tense up at the mention of his children, the father scowled deeply until Yamato's voice echoed beside him.
"Calm yourself Ichigo, He is attempting to rile you up, make you sloppy in you're anger" turning to his Zanpakutō, he gave a small nod of gratitude before steeling himself, seeing Muramasa smile slightly, the man spoke.
"I see, you listen to you're Zanpakutō, more than the other Shinigami here it seems" getting a bark of laughter from Loki as he freed himself, the wolf stood calmly while brushing himself of ice, his Zanpakutō appearing in his right hand.
"Alright dipshit, time for you to go back to daddy so we can kill the ugly fucker" getting a glare from Muramasa, Loki tensed up to charge until his eyes widened as Ichigo suddenly lurched onto his knees, coughing up blood suddenly while Muramasa frowned at the figure's appearance after they appeared beside him to the right. Making Ichigo's eyes widened at the sight of Yamato, littered with cracks with an obvious look of pain himself.
"You were distracted" glaring at Muramasa before he vanished, Ichigo stared at Yamato in despair as the Zanpakutō slowly unsheathed the Katana in his hand.
Moving to get up, Ichigo felt an arm pull him up quickly, making him and Loki blink in confusion as another Yamato stood beside Ichigo… only he was demonic looking.
"I managed to fight off the Zanpakutō's influence… it hurt like hell that is for sure" seeing the Zanpakutō panting with his own cracked body, his however glowed.
"Kill him, that's the only guess I have at this point to get my full power back" falling to one knee as he faded, Ichigo turned to Loki who nodded before he lunged forward alongside Ichigo as he sent a barrage of slashes, ones which the Cloned Yamato returned, leaving the air between them booming with shockwaves, with Loki sliding under a stray slash aimed to behead him, Loki threw himself into the air as the ground exploded. Turning to kill him, the Yamato clone realized it's mistake as Ichigo flash stepped behind him with the real Yamato impaling him in the chest, while a gun shot left a large hole between the eyes.
Followed by the clone breaking down into reiatsu… before the real Yamato stood holding his head, his demonic appearance absent.
"That was… uncomfortable" walking to the Zanpakutō spirit, Loki brushed him of any dust, confusing the Zanpakutō before being brought into a hug, making Yamato share a confused look to ichigo who shrugged.
Walking to them with a sigh of relief, Harribel went to speak if not for Muramasa to appear behind her.
Turning in alarm, Harribel felt her entire body split in pain, not her flesh though… something else.
Giving a cry of pain and agony, Ichigo and Loki spun to her in alarm as she was thrown away from Muramasa who smiled with interest as a silhouetted figure appeared to his left. Sporting a feminine figure, it's right arm becoming a large two sided blade serrated like a Great white's, bulky shoulder guards, it's head resembled eerily like Harribel's, hair and skin colour that was exposed, adorning her back was a fin that glowed with Reiatsu and a tail that left the ground with gouges with it's lazy swinging.
Staring at Harribel with recognition, the being before them looked to it's left hand in astonishment and confusion.
Staring in alarm and fear, Harribel spoke softly with no one but the being before her hearing her.
"Tiburón" looking to Harribel as tears fell from her eyes, the Hollow creature went to speak if not for it's eyes to flash black upon Muramasa placing his left hand on it's back.
"Attack them" upon that order, the Beast gave off a howl as it lurched towards Harribel who stared in horror, her death approaching if not for Loki to block the set of jaws with his own arm, showing Senza's influence as he struggled with the hollow.
Staring at the mindless beast with tears falling from her eyes, Ichigo pulled her away as Loki was forced to the ground.
"I COULD USE SOME HELP YOU KNOW!" snapping out of his trance, Ichigo took on his Bankai with his Katana mid way of being unsheathed. Before the hollow vanished through Sonido, making Ichigo spin with his blade stopping the jaws of death from taking him.
Staring into the lifeless eyes as he slid back, Harribel spoke, pleading.
"Tiburón, please stop!" moving to help Ichigo, her Arrancar mask was no longer present, a shocking sight before Ichigo's attention was brought back to the hollow as it spun to Harribel with a vicious roar.
Swinging it's right arm with yellow Reiatsu shooting towards Harribel, if not for Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng to swing in and pull her to safety. Making Harribel fall to her hand and knees with wide eyes, breathing heavily, she looked to her hands in alarm.
"Yoruichi, get her out of here!" turning to Ichigo as he and Loki were striking and dodging the hollow, Yoruichi grabbed Harribel who reached for the hollow before she vanished through Yoruichi's and Suì-Fēng's Flash step.
Seeing this, Loki ducked under the large blade before back flipping over it as it did a follow up slash, while Ichigo was jabbing it's neck with his Katana. The Hollow/Zanpakutō of Harribel gave a choked roar before it sent the two flying with a blast of reiatsu, sending them skidding before it lunged at Ichigo who held it at bay as his own hollow reiatsu rose to the challenge, Urizen's emotions enforcing Ichigo's resolve as he forced the Hollow back.
Vasto Lorde vs Vasto Lorde as Ichigo's wings grabbed the Hollow's shoulders, forcing it back before Ichigo brought his demonic head to bash it back.
Staggering it for a moment, Loki zipped by the duo with his golden Zanpakutō sheathing itself with the hollow's body staggering as it gained bruises and claw marks over it's being.
Making Loki frown as it gave a sorrow filled roar before vanishing, making them tense up for a sneak attack… only to get none as the Hollow's reiatsu began to fade in a direction to the right.
"It's too far to chase" turning to Loki as he released his Zanpakutō's sheath, he sighed while running a hand between his ears.
Before the teen could say anything, Yoruichi returned with a worried look to her face.
"Ichigo, It's Harribel!" staring in worry at that one sentence, Ichigo felt a sense of foreboding as he followed quickly.
Leaving Loki in place before he looked to the direction the rogue hollow spirit fled to.
Closing his eyes to sense where it was going, he frowned at sensing the other rogue Zanpakutō in that direct area.
Opening his eyes, he sighed.
"A hollow Zanpakutō hybrid, looking for kindred spirits"
I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
