Hey guys, Flipkicks here and today is a quick preview of the second arc which is the Tournament Arc and I have to thank Isom for writing the fight sequence once again. The next chapter is being develop as we speak but since I'm still writing the chapter, I thought of sharing a preview for the 2nd arc.

Ichigo gripped the handle of his sword in preparation as Kitana brought out her steel fans and spread them out. It had been years since the last time the two of them had trained together and fought against each other. He never felt this nervous against fighting his childhood friend.

"Fight!"

Ichigo rushed forward with his sword drawn and swung hard. The massive sword cut through the air and smashed the ground as Kitana flipped into the air. Whipping out her fans she swung them with a vicious ferocity as she tried to slice through him. Ichigo reacted quickly blocked the blades with his weapon before pushing back.

"That over-sized butter knife of yours won't do a thing against me, Ichigo," Kitana mocked as she waved her fans, "Why don't you just give up?"

The orange haired teen spat off to the side and said, "I'd like to see you make me."

Kitana smirked and activated the dust in her fans releasing waves of razor sharp winds at the boy.

Ichigo blocked the attack and charged forward but Kitana performed the limbo to avoid the horizontal slash and cartwheeled away to avoid the horizontal one. She was unprepared for Ichigo's arm to burst into dark purple energy and shoot forward grabbing her. She cursed herself for forgetting about Ichigo's little enhancement.

She was then flung up into the air and then brought down hard with enough force to crack the arena floor.

Ichigo then pulled her in close and performed a powerful slash that the woman was just barely able to block, but the result of the impact numbed her hands slightly. Ichigo followed up with a powerful kick to the chin that knocked her upwards.

Ichigo leaped upwards after her with his sword drawn back.

Thinking quickly, Kitana released another wave of wind from her fans and launched herself higher into the air, avoiding the attack. She then redirected her fans and launched herself downward at high speed bringing her heel down on Ichigo's shoulder. The boy shouted in pain, but Kitana wasn't done. She swiftly brought out her fans and started swinging.

Ichigo responded by launching forward with a powerful technique: The Omnislash. 'Now or never...' He thought to himself as his aura began manifesting itself around him.

The two attacks met with great ferocity as sparks flew and rained down on the arena below. The two separated and landed on the ground on their feet.

Ichigo's shirt now had a few cuts on it as well as a few gashes on his chest and arms.

Kitana looked no better as she now had a few gashes on her sides and arms.

Kitana and Ichigo stared each other down. Kitana reacted first by flinging her fans at the boy. The orange haired boy deflected the two projectiles and brought up a block to stop Kitana's follow up kick. A hook punch got around his defense and slammed into his jaw.

The woman then swung herself around and slammed her knee into the back of Ichigo's head causing him to lose the grip on his sword and stumble forward. At this point Kitana's fans boomeranged back to her and she unleashed a blast of wind that knocked the boy off his feet and sent him flying.

Kitana chuckled and said, "You've gotten sloppy Ichigo. Is this really all you can do?"

Ichigo growled and said, "Okay, you want a show? I'll give you a show."

In another flash of light a large swords similar to the Buster sword appeared in Ichigo's hands.

Kitana shook her head and said, "A one trick pony."

She unleashed another wave of wind from her fans, only for Ichigo to vanish before it could reach him.

He sped forward and used his enhanced arm to throw a powerful uppercut.

As his former teammate was launched into the air Ichigo swung his sword. To the entire arena's shock the sword split into different parts, the sword flew up and flew around a shocked Kitana.

"W-What is this?"

She was brought from her thoughts as she saw Ichigo grab one of the extra swords and dashed at her slicing her across her stomach. He repeated this with the other auxiliary swords before he grabbed the largest one floating above them and performed a powerful vertical slash.

Ichigo fell to the arena floor, the sword in his hands as the other swords fell to the ground standing upright. Kitana was about to hit the ground hard until Ichigo managed to catch the warrior princess. Moments later, covered in bloody gashes, Kitana blacked out from the pain.

"Sorry...Kitana."

That ends the small preview of the next arc. It will be revamp and be a bit longer once the official 2nd arc story started. I'll be thinking of ways to show Ichigo's antagonistic side and why he is the main anti-hero of the story and will be showing some part that everyone wants to see (a little romance with Cinder). The next chapter is going to show more of Ichigo's past and the reason why he 'joined' forces with a particular someone.

The poll for my new story "A Promise" will end soon on 2/1/16 and be sure to place your votes on your favorite character and I do want to want to hear feedback on what aspects of the different series that will be going into the story as well aspects of what Ichigo should have from my stories as well. There will be characters from Fairy Tail, Bleach, DXD, Fate (and other characters from Type-Moon) and RWBY. I want to make the story as best as I can and could use some help from authors

Hope to hear you guys on the preview on the next arc and as always, I'll talk to you all later.
