Welcome back everyone to another chapter of BotS! I am going to overhaul the first couple chapters so that they don't involve the gamer ability so that it doesn't stick out like the sore thumb it is, this will take time but I'll let you all know when that is finished so that you can reread and judge those chapters when they are all done. I apologize but this story took a turn that I didn't expect and now I have to pay for my own lack of planning when I started this fic. You all may have also noticed the change in title when it happened and the change in the description from a couple of days ago. Thank you for those who are supporting this change and if it upsets you then I'm not sure what to say aside from there are other Gamer stories out there for you to read and enjoy.
On a side not I am changing it so that the Legend of Hiro will only be published on Wednesdays but they will also be longer chapters for those of you who read that fan-fiction as well.
Not many comments so let's us get onto why you are all here and let me turn you over to the feature presentation.
"I'm glad you brought us over here Ryoka." Yumichika gave a passing glance to the rising spiritual pressures of Ikkaku and Tatsuki. "Looks like Ikkaku is having fun." Turning to face Chad, Yumichika drew his blade. "Before I kill you and return to watch Ikkaku finish his fight, I'd like to know your name."
"Yasutora Sado." Yumichika nodded in thanks.
"Ayasegawa Yumichika. You haven't shone fear or have run away from me even though you were given a chance. In return I will give you a beautiful death. Die knowing that you will be remembered as a proud warrior who fought till the end." Chad didn't respond but charged towards Yumichika and sent a powerful El Directo at the 5th seat.
Dodging the blast the shinigami stood as the building behind where he once stood collapsed and fell to the ground in a large dust cloud. He frowned.
"That is a strange power you have, what is it?" The giant lifted his arm and clenched it into a fist.
"My will to protect." Yumichika scoffed at the simple response.
"It matters not, your power holds beauty and that is all that matters to me." Chad bowed his head in thanks before taking a heavy step forward charging another blast of reiatsu. Yumichika settled into a stance and jumped before starting their dance of death. A blast from Chad that Yumichika would dodge before attacking Chad only for the giant top dodge or block with his arm.
Growing tired of the dance Chad felt Tatsuki release her shikai. He grunted in acknowledgment before raising his own spiritual pressure and becoming more ruthless with his strikes. He needed to win so that they could save Rukia faster. His strength would help them win, he just had to remember that he is using this on Ichigo's behalf, even if he wasn't here, it was his wish that brought them here.
Motivated with that thought, Chad charged and slammed his fist into the shinigami's blade, smashing the soul cutter into pieces. Yumichika looked down at his shattered blade and sighed.
"How disgusting, and here I thought you would let us continue to dance. What a shame." The 5th seat knelt down and moved some of his reiatsu through his blade, reforming it. "Now that you have done that I need to kill you. I'm sorry but you will receive a beautiful death to compensate for your ugly actions. Bloom, Fuji Kujaku!" Yumichika's zanpakuto glowed brightly with white light and extended into a sickle-shaped blade distinguished from the khopesh. Chad braced himself.
"Why are you standing in our way?" Yumichika was taken aback by the question for a moment. Caught off balance. He chuckled as he realized the purpose of the question.
"You don't like fighting do you?" Chad grit his teeth. "You picked the wrong place to land if you wanted to avoid conflict. But you fought me before, what makes this different? It matters little when you are going to die anyways but I'll humor your request. I fight because it is in my nature. It is in all of our nature to fight, for weaklings it is for each other but for us at the 11th? We fight for the thrill of combat. We live to die fighting and we will not stop till we die. That is why your friend will fail, and that is why you will ultimately fail. We accept our nature and fight to die fighting. If you want me out of your way then you're going to have to kill me. Why do you fight?" Chad took a moment to think about the question, he knew the reason like the back of his hand but the shinigami's words shook him. Was it in his nature to fight, was he making excuses. He steeled his resolve.
"I fight for Ichigo, I fight to protect what he wants to protect and right now, that is Kuchiki-san." Yumichika tilts his head in acknowledgement of Chad's resolve as that giant's eyes burned a bright blue.
"Then I see you are weak. Pity, you would have made a strong warrior if you embraced your instinct." The giant clenched his fist as his mind tore itself over the shinigami's words. He would have to think about them but for now he had to fight to win. He would win. The two charged each other and an explosion of reiatsu burst around them as the two warred before Chads grew to overpower Yumichika's and the shinigami was thrown back in a massive burst of reiatsu. He slammed against the wall and Chad sighed. Deactivating his arm he watched the unmoving shinigami. He had put more into that than he had before but he knew the shinigami would live and vowed he would ask about what the shinigami meant later.
Tatsuki arrived after finishing her fight with Ikkaku to spot Chad looking over at a downed Yumichika.
"Hey big guy, you good?" She felt the fluctuation in his reiatsu. Worry laced her words but Chad wordlessly sent her a cheesy thumbs up. He would be fine but he had a lot to think about. Now was not the time or the place to be thinking about such things though. They had much that they needed to do.
The two turned and ran into another set of buildings so they wouldn't be caught as their clashes would have brought a considerable amount of unwanted attention their way.
