Monday October 1 ,2001 6:30 P.M. Soul Society, Bleachverse
Mayuri looks around in the half destroyed Shinigami Research and Development Institute trying to collect what's let of his lab after it was hit by a Getsuga Tenshō from Ichigo which leveled the top half of the building. Renji and Rukia are looking around as the wounded are carried away, only 12 were wounded by falling debris within the lab , no one has been seriously injured from Ichigo's attack . All the Captains excluding Squad 2 Captain Soifon are at the site of the half leveled lab.
" My lab , it's been destroyed , DAMN THAT KUROSAKI ! " Mayuri shouted.
" We have worse problems than that, Ichigo has broken into Hueco Mundo and is going to take back Orihime " Unohana replied.
" That fool, does he realize that he's walking into a trap ? " Yamamoto shouted.
" We tried to stop him but he was too much for us ! " Renji stated.
" Why didn't you two release Bankai ? " Byakuya asked the two.
" We tried too but we were then hit by his Getsuga Tenshō. We were hit by the falling debris and couldn't see his escape " Rukia explained to Renji.
" We need to go there and get them ! " Sasakibe stated.
" Problem is that moron destroyed the lab shortly before going into the Garganta , we can't go to get him " Mayuri shouted.
" DAMN IT ! " Yamamoto replied in anger.
" Don't worry, i know who to call to get us through " Unohana said calmly as she dials on the phone.
Meanwhile at Kisuke's shop
Yoruichi is training with Chad . Chad comes at Yoruichi with a series of punches and kicks while Soifon lifts weights with her legs .
" That Chad kid really has some skills ,at least in boxing but he can't how to beat her with such unrefined blows " Soifon said to herself as she lifts massive 2 ton weights with her legs.
Meanwhile Chad tries to hit Yoruichi with a right hook but Yoruichi hits him in the stomach and pushes him into a rock.
" Is that the best skill you got ? " Yoruichi asked .
" She keeps blocking and countering every hit i throw at her ! " Chad said to himself.
Kisuke rushes downstairs in a panic to go to talk to Yoruichi.
" What is it Kisuke ? " Yoruichi asked.
" It's Ichigo, he's broken out of the Hospital " Kisuke answered .
" What ? " Yoruichi shouted.
" He broke out of the hospital and go into the Garangta " Kisuke stated.
" And nobody stopped him ? " Soifon shouted.
" They tried to but to no avail. The Captains were informed too late to stop him " Kisuke replied.
" Is Unohana still on that line ? " Yoruichi asked Kisuke.
" She is ! " Kisuke answered as she snatches the phone from Kisuke.
" Do you hear me Unohana ? " Unohana asked.
" Yes i do , we're planning to send the Captains to the shop just to... " Unohana explained to Yoruichi only to be cut off .
" Don't send anyone around here, me and the Vizards would handle this , tell Ibiki to stand by " Yoruichi stated.
" That's the thing. We can't contact Ibiki at all ! " Unohana replied.
" What do you mean ? " Yoruichi shouted.
" Ichigo kinda destroyed the lab ! " Unohana answered.
" Shit ! Ibiki is bound to be in trouble , i got to go ! " Yoruichi stated as she hangs up the phone.
" What to do ? " Soifon asked Yoruichi.
" Stay here and watch over Chad , i need to get Ichigo back as well as your Vice Captain " Yoruichi replied.
" Yoruichi, you got a call ! " Kisuke said to Yoruichi.
" From who ? " Yoruichi asked.
" It's Ibiki ! " Kisuke answered.
" What ? " Yoruichi shouted.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Ibiki tires calling the Soul Society on the Soul Phone due to the fact that she lost communication with the lab device.
" What are you doing calling on the Soul Phone ? " Yoruichi asked Ibiki.
" My communication stopped working a half an hour ago. I had to sneak out to an alley to make this call, what's going on here ? " Ibiki answered.
" There has been some technical difficulties ! " Yoruichi answered.
" You couldn't have picked a worse time to do so. I was in the middle of downloading the entire map of Las Noches " Ibiki stated.
" Shit , that moron ! " Yoruichi replied.
" What moron ? " Ibiki asked.
" Ichigo destroyed the lab, we can't get feedback anymore. Just stay out of trouble " Yoruichi said to Ibiki.
" Right ! " Ibiki replied.
" I'm going to assemble the Vizards, find Orihime and try to make sure she's safe " Yoruichi said to Ibiki.
" Okay then ! " Ibiki replied as she puts away the phone.
Meanwhile at Hueco Mundo's 22nd Passageway
Ichigo makes it to the place with his sword in hand.
" So this is Hueco Mundo huh ? It's much smaller than expected ! " Ichigo said to himself as he digs into his pocket and pulls out a blue tie remembering Orihime.
3 days ago
" You should take this ! " Orihime answered as she gives him a blue tie.
" What is it ? " Ichigo asked her .
" It's my brother's tie . I always keep this to remind myself of my brother and pray to him everyday hoping he's safe in the afterlife " Orihime explained to Ichigo.
" Are you sure you want me to hold it ? " Ichigo asked her.
" We're in love right ? This would be the tie that binds the bond between us Ichigo " Orihime replied as she puts the tie around Ichigo and hug each other.
" I don't have anything to give you right now " Ichigo said to his lover.
" You done enough Ichigo , you saved my life numerous times and thanks to you my brothers soul could rest within the Soul Society " Orihime replied as she goes to her little shrine of her brother goes on her knees to pray.
" Do you usually do this ? " Ichigo asked Orihime.
" You don't pray ? " Orihime asked him.
" I kinda outgrew it ..I used to pray with my mother and i prayed numerous times my mother would come back for me but my prayers were never answered . I started to believe that those who ran the churches and temples were no different than the con artists like fortune tellers and psychics and anyone whose trade involves taking money from people for things that they cannot see.. I never really believed in any mainstream religion before but after seeing spirits, i'm starting to think there really is a higher power out there and it could be the answer to all this religious conflict that raged for thousands of years . I occasionally prayed when it came to her funeral but i couldn't help to wonder why a beloved god would take a fine woman like my mother away and leave my family broken " Ichigo explained to Orihime.
" So you're agnostic ? My brother and i were Buddhists and we regularly prayed together , the whole reason i come here every day is to pray he is in a better place. I started to lose hope much like you have about a god existing but after going to the Soul Society and obtaining powers of my own, there's no doubt someone out there . Before he was turned into a hollow and attacked me , me and him use to talk about you Ichigo " Orihime stated.
" You did ? " Ichigo asked Orihime.
" I never thought such a small crush would blossom to love in just 5 months flat " Orihime answered.
" Well there's one thing i have that i haven't used in a while ! " Ichigo stated as he hands Orihime a necklace with a heart-shaped emblem which is a small picture of Ichigo as a little child and his mother Masaki .
" Ichigo, you look so cute as a kid ! " Orihime said to Ichigo.
" I kept this all the times when i did pray in occasion. While i might not accepted mainstream religion , i did had thoughts of a creator,after all i knew an afterlife existed if i can see souls . I prayed to myself that one day in would know the answers to life, that i'll know whether a god could exist or not and what he'll be like and pray i no longer have to be spiritually aware so i can live an normal life . I want you to wear it for me and i'll always wear this tie even when it's not the occasion to wear it " Ichigo explained to his soulmate.
" Thank you Ichigo ! " Orihime stated as they both kiss each other in the mouth.
" You're welcome ! " Ichigo replied holding on to her hair.
" Will you always be by my side Ichigo ? " Orihime asked him, looking at the orange haired teen with pleading eyes.
" Of course Orihime ! " Ichigo answered.
" Promise ? " she asked as she lay her head on his chest, eyes closed.
" I promise i will never leave your side, now, forever and always ! " Ichigo replied as they go to kiss again .
Present Day
Ichigo puts the tie around his head and wears it like a bandana.
" I plan to get you back at all cost ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" What are you thinking coming here by yourself ? " Zangetsu asked.
" I told you , i'm getting back Orihime !" Ichigo answered.
" This is suicide ! " Zangetsu stated.
" Yoruichi said that she had the Vizards there to help . I can take this easy now " Ichigo replied as he walks around Las Noches only to see the floor start to collapse and he jumps up to the other side.
" Looks like the enemy set up traps ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" These amateurs ! " Ichigo replied as he outruns the floor traps only to see a large black ball come at him at the other side.
" Watch out Ichigo! " Zangetsu stated.
" Please , this is nothing ! " Ichigo replied as he effortlessly shatters the boulder with ease.
Ichigo then rushes into a corridor where he meets two Arrancars , Aldegor and Menis. Both have been demoted recently for attempting to rebel against Aizen and having the original guardians of the underground passageway Demoura and Aisslinger.
" Looks like someone has finally came here ! " Menis said to Aldegor.
" Finally, i thought we would've been forever without a decent fight ! " Aldegor replied.
" Are you Arrancars ? " Ichigo asked.
" No shit sherlock , what's with that tie around your head ?" Menis answered with a question.
" It looks stupid ! " Aledgor stated.
" Shut up , this represents the love i have for Orihime ! " Ichigo replied.
" Doesn't matter though , you don't look like your Vice Captain level , we can take you easily " Menis stated.
" Oh really ? " Ichigo asked.
" Watch me ! " Menis shouted as he goes to slash Ichigo but Ichigo catches his blade barehanded .
" Impossible, how did he do that ? " Aledgor asked shocked to see that.
" That sword anti enough to hurt me ! " Ichigo said to Menis as he kicks Menis into Aledgor.
" Shit, he's so strong ! " Menis stated .
" Let's not waste any time fighting him ! " Aledgor replied as they each draw out their Zanpakutōs and go to release their forms.
" Stab Erizo ( Spanish for Hedgehog) " Menis chanted as he grows three segmented, tail-like appendages that have sharp ends to attack with and the remains of his Hollow mask move to cover his entire face, he also gains a red fur mane on his neck.
" Get them Jabalí ( Spanish for Boar) " Aledgor chanted as he grows six hinged appendages from his back, which are used for both defense and attacking and has thick Hierro armor protecting his neck and upper body and he gains muscle mass.
Both of them come at Ichigo. Ichigo dodges Alegdor's punches while blocking all of Menis attacks with just his wrapped Shikai .
" Is that the best you two can do ? " Ichigo asked the duo .
" Hardly. We got started ! " Menis answered as he goes to attack Ichigo with more of his tentacles.
" That's not enough ! " Ichigo replied as he slashes the tentacle arm in half and decapitates Menis with his Shikai unwrapped.
" MENIS ! " Aledgor shouted as he watches his head roll on the ground.
" You're next if you don't leave here ! " Ichigo said to Aledgor.
" YOU BASTARD ! " Aledgor shouted as he charges up a Cero.
" Idiot ! " Ichigo replied as he cuts Aledgor in half with Getsuga Tenshō around his blade which cleanly cleaves through him.
" That was a bit ruthless ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" These guys are Hollows, no matter how human they look, they're all evil creatures " Ichigo replied.
" You remember what Grand Fisher said ? " Zangetsu asked.
" Yes, i couldn't forget that bastards ugly face ! " Ichigo answered as he thinks back to the past.
4 days ago
" How are you so strong ? I thought a mock Arrancar isn't suppose to have much power higher than a Menos " Ichigo asked Grand Fisher.
" Foolish little brat , did you think i was a mere mock Arrancar ? What you said before might be true about all normal hollows before me but i was no ordinary Hollow. Before the Hollowfication i was easily on the strength level of a 10th seat, i was only outclassed in power by the Gillain " Grand Fisher answered.
" You were that strong ? " Ichigo asked the Arrancar.
" Of course i was, next to Metastacia i was the most powerful non Menos hollow in his hollow army. I was appointed by Aizen to gather souls for Aizen to create his own Hōgyoku " Grand Fisher answered.
" His own Hōgyoku ? " Ichigo asked.
" That's right, when Aizen drove Kisuke out of the Soul Society, he attempted to take the Hōgyoku from Kisuke Urahara so he can create the Arrancars in his attempt to overthrow the Soul Society. Aizen took pride in my ability to lure souls to their deaths and i was used to go to the world of the living and even the Soul Society to gather as many powerful souls as possible to send to their deaths for 54 years " Grand Fisher laughed at Ichigo.
" 54 years ? That explains how you evaded the Soul Society for so long . Aizen kept you as his pet so you can fetch him spirits like his dog " Ichigo mocked the Arrancar.
" Don't insult me boy . You're in no position to be throwing insults around . I'm partially the reason why the Espada army exist today, thanks to all the souls i collected for Aizen's Hōgyoku , Aizen was able to start creating his Arrancar army and it was going to be complete however 20 years ago, his Hōgyoku reached it's limit and he couldn't finish creating Arrancars anymore so he tried for 20 years to obtain the Hōgyoku he now process and he knew that arranging me to fight you would pave the way to his success " Grand Fisher explained to Ichigo.
" So you're saying Aizen made his own Hōgyoku ? Also what do you mean he needed souls ? " Ichigo asked.
" Aizen used human and Shinigami souls as well as hollow souls whereas Kisuke only used hollows in his perfect version. To create the Hōgyoku, a ton of spiritual power must be gathered to make it . Kisuke found ways around it that didn't require the sacrifice of human lives , Aizen however didn't have the same amount of resources so he made countless versions that used human and Shinigami souls " Grand Fisher explained to Ichigo.
" You monsters, using spiritual beings to power that infernal device just so you guys can have power. Also what do you mean i have to do with Aizen getting the Hōgyoku ? " Ichigo asked Grand Fisher.
" All the battles you've fought from the point you gained your Shinigami powers to now were all arranged by Sosuke Aizen as part of his plan "Grand Fisher answered.
" What? What the hell are you talking about ? " Ichigo asked him shocked to hear this.
" Rukia was unknowingly under a special Gentei Reiin(限定霊印,Soul-Limiting Symbol) set up by Aizen for that mission which reduced her power by 50 times making her merely the strength of a normal unseated officer , then Aizen arraigned the hollow attack that would give you Shinigami powers. Aizen also allowed you to bond with Rukia for a time being and then when you were getting to know each other threw a Menos Grande after you defeated me in battle. Kisuke already knew about Rukia giving her powers to you and knew a death sentence was inevitable so he put the Hōgyoku there not knowing Aizen predicted the event and know you know the rest " Grand Fisher explained to Ichigo.
Present Day
" These Arrancars, there all monsters. They're filthy hollow scum who kill innocent people so they can obtain more power. They're nothing like Shinigami, they're the greatest threat to this world next to the Shinobi. It's because of them, i lost my mother , it's because of them Rukia was nearly executed and it was because of them that Orihime lost her brother . That bastard nearly destroyed my city and took the woman i love. I CAN NEVER FORGIVE THEM ! " Ichigo ranted as his temper flared only to hear a rumbling within the room.
" Ichigo , the room is collapsing ! " Zangetsu stated only to see sand start coming into the room.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as the entire room collapses.
Then suddenly a massive explosion occurs which sends a ton of dirt flying upward with Ichigo jumping out within his Bankai state holding his sword with his tie still on his head.
" That was a close call ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" I thought, i'll be trapped there forever ! " Ichigo stated.
" Good thing you used Bankai ! " Zangetsu replied.
" Damn how far is this Las Noches ? " Ichigo asked his Zanpakutō spirit.
" Around 100 miles west of here , that large castle from a distance " Zangetsu answered.
" Damn, that place is as big as a mountain ! " Ichigo stated.
" Yep ! " Zangetsu replied.
" I'm not that good at math but given how fast i move in Bankai in base speed , it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes " Ichigo said to his Zanpakutō as he dashes to Las Noches.
Back in Las Noches
Aizen has called a meeting with all the Espadas to come to the table to talk to them.
" I heard we've got intruders ! " Barragan said to the group.
" Intruders ? " Grimmjow asked.
" Apparently , the 22nd Underground Passageway was destroyed " Dordoni stated.
" The 22nd one ? That's rather far from here ! " Szayel replied.
" It would've been more interesting if they'd went into the Hōgyoku's room instead " Nnoitra said to the group.
" I'm tired as hell, don't be so noisy ! " Starrk said to Nnoitra.
" Honestly Starrk , you never change ! " Harribel replied.
" Hopefully we get to clobber these guys, i'm bored " Yammy shouted holding his head up with his right hand.
Aizen walks into the room with Gin and Tōusen .
" Good evening my dear Espadas. It seems that we're under attack but let's have some tea first , Gin Tōusen " Aizen said to the Espadas calmly and casually.
" Right ! " both of them replied as he hands them the tea. After a minute, everyone has tea.
" Now that we all have our cup of tea, we can begin . Tōusen, show us what we're dealing with " Aizen said to the Espadas.
" Right ! " Tōusen replied as he turns on the projector showing Ichigo rushing in.
" There's one lone intruder heading towards Las Noches , that person is Ichigo Kurosaki " Aizen said to the Espadas as he drinks tea as all the Espadas look at him.
" So that's the Ichigo Kurosaki we heard so much about ? " Araoniero asked.
" Ridiculous , when you said were under attack, i assume there was an army. That's just some lone punk who couldn't even beat the 6th Espada " Baaragan arrogantly stated.
" I must admit, he's one handsome man ! " Szayel replied while licking his lips.
" That's the bastard who took my arm . He owes me a beating ! " Yammy shouted.
" That Ichigo Nino doesn't seem all that strong ! " Nnoitra stated.
" I wouldn't underestimate him. He has power on par with a Tailed Beast hidden within him " Aizen replied.
" Is that so ? Why is he coming here ? " Dordoni asked Aizen.
" That's because we have his girlfriend , Orihime Inoue " Aizen answered.
" Ha, you expect me to believe he can take on a Tailed Beast ? It took the combined efforts of several Espada and Akatsuki just to capture one. He looks far too weak to do such a feat " Nnoitra arrogantly stated.
" Weren't you listening ? Aizen states that he's a Tailed Beast threat " Harribel stated.
" Please. i can handle him myself ! " Nnoitra replied.
" I doubt that highly. None of the Espada have the strength to take him on in a 1 on 1 battle with the exception of the First Espada " Aizen said to the group.
" Is his power that great ? " Starrk asked.
" Tōusen roll the footage ! " Aizen answered.
" Right ! " Tōusen replied as he plays the footage.
One Week ago
KN6 Naruto and H2 Ichigo clashed within Konoha causing massive scale destruction to the village.
" RRRAOOARGH !" Kyuubi Naruto roared as he emerges out of the 1 mile diameter, 1,000 foot deep crater.
" RAAHAHGH !" Hollow Ichigo roared looking confused to see 6 tails emerged.
" RRAGAHAWARH ! " Kyuubi Naruto shouted as he punches Hollow Ichigo in the stomach and send the hollow flying back into Konoha and into the Hokage Monument with a single chakra arm punch stretching 23 miles long .
" ARRAGH ! " Hollow Ichigo moaned in pain feeling on it's chest. The Hollow hit the monument but the monument took no further damage.
" MUUUGHGRAGHWH ! " Kyuubi Naruto roared as it sharpens it's claws and comes at Hollow Ichigo moving at 3,300,000 ft/sec (2,250,000 MPH )
Both Hollow Ichigo and Kyuubi Naruto clash blows with each other once again matching each other in power .
Kyuubi Naruto charges right at the Hollow but Hollow Ichigo counters swinging it's sword and the power of the sword swing creates a 3,000 foot semi radius shockwave creating a crescent shape fissure around the area he leveled. Kyuubi Naruto is knocked back into the crater. Hollow Ichigo then comes at Kyuubi Naruto with a fury of sword slashes but Kyuubi Naruto blocks with it's claws.
" MMUUHHAGAGHHA ! " Kyuubi Naruto roared as it creates a shockwave sending rocks flying up into the air and then sends hundreds of rocks flying at Hollow Ichigo then breathe fire on them and sends the rocks flying at the Hollow.
" AARRGHWAHA !" Hollow Ichigo countered as i he fires a fast cero from it's horns blowing up the rocks.
"ARRRGHHAWAHRAH ! " Kyuubi Naruto roared as it shoots a rapid fire stream of chakra blasts moving at 1,980 shoots per minute firing 825 shoots at the hollow.
As the battle dragged on further, they charged up a massive attack.
" RAWR ! " Kyuubi Naruto roared as all the bubbles condense the Chakra bubbles into a black sphere that grows 3 feet in diameter.
" GYAYAHAHAHAHARAWHARAH ! " Hollow Ichigo roared as it's cero grows to be 6 feet in diameter.
Kyuubi Naruto in 6 tails stare at Hollow Ichigo in it's second form across the entire village. The 6 tails stands within the Main Gate ruins while Hollow Ichigo stands at the ruins of the Hokage palace .
" RAGGAHAH ! " the four tailed demon growled as he grows larger and it's belly swells like a balloon and it's mouth opens up.
" GYAYAHAHAHAHAWHAR ! " Hollow Ichigo roared as it fires it's super powered cero at Kyuubi Naruto.
" ARWAHGAH ! " Kyuubi Naruto roared as the sphere detonates inside the body and the Chakra is fired from the mouth as a powerful beam.
Both beams come right at each other. The blasts then collide at the center of the village within Konoha stadium ruins and then both of them detonate .
The blasts connect with each other directly as they shoot up into the sky as the explosion levels everything within a 30 mile radius . The explosion sends all the debris flying from the village everywhere throwing everything around the village. The Konoha General Hospital, the last remaining building is obliterated by the explosion and Yamato's wooden wall is completely destroyed as the building is sucked upwards shattering into bits .
The explosion rips apart the ground within the village . Some of the villagers melt and burn violently under the intense blast that penetrated the underground shelters. Some people are being violently thrown through rocks and debris and others are being hit by flying debris.
A massive 50 mile high , 20 mile diameter mushroom cloud loomed over the ruins of Konoha as the blast died down. Konoha was reduced to ruins. Konoha was now within a massive 10 mile diameter , 3 mile deep crater extending from 1 mile east from the Hokage's palace ruins to 1 mile west of the main gate. 80% of the entire city is now below the crater. The size of the explosion was the equivalent to 200 megatons, 4 times the power of the Tsar Bomba and the equivalent to the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.
Present Day
" So that explains his unreadable power , he's like those creatures we captured . Back at the World of the Living, his power fluctuated between being barely above the 6th Espada to stronger than my own. Either one of those two could of killed me on the spot, even with a Second Release " Ulquiorra said to himself .
" That's alot of power he wields ! " Baaragan stated.
" Relax, he doesn't process control of this power and would most likely not release this power anytime soon " Aizen said to the group only to see Grimmjow leave his seat.
" Where are you going Grimmjow ? " Tōusen asked Grimmjow.
" I'm going to deal with him ! " Grimmjow answered.
" You aren't allowed to leave here ! " Tōusen stated.
" Shut it. I'm not going to wait until that bastard becomes a walking nuclear bomb, i'm killing him right now. Besides , we have a score to settle " Grimmjow replied.
" Grimmjow , i wasn't done talking . It would be best if you sit back down " Aizen said calmly to Grimmjow as he uses his Reiatsu to paralyze Grimmjow until he drops to his knees.
" Damn , what power . I should've known not to have messed with him ! " Grimmjow said to himself.
" Members of the Espada, we have Ichigo Kurosaki as our special guest . Don't underestimate this kid but at the same time don't panic either . Return to your quarters and sit and wait until the enemy comes to you . Just remember the depths of my power. Even with his monster form, he's no match for us if we stick together " Aizen explained to the group.
Meanwhile at the Vizard Hideout
Shinji is watching TV relaxing , Kensei is busy lifting some 5 ton weights while bench pressing, Lisa is busy looking at lesbian porn , Hachigen is busy reading a book, Hiyori is boxing with a punching bag as well as Mashiro, Love is busy reading Shonen manga and Rose is playing the violin when Yoruichi walks into the base.
" Guys we got serious trouble ! " Yoruichi said to the group.
" What is it Yoruichi ? " Shinji asked
" It's Ichigo, he's broken into Hueco Mundo ! " Yoruichi answered.
" What ? " Shinji asked shocked to hear that.
" That Idiot , how can he do something this stupid ? " Hiyori shouted.
" Is he trying to doom us all ? If they capture him, they win ! " Kensei shouted.
" This is bad, how did he just escape so easily ? " Lisa asked Yoruichi.
" Unohana claims that she was training Kenpachi so she wasn't around , Isane thought that Unohana's Kido/Hakuda attack would of left Ichigo out cold for a day but she was caught off-guard and knocked out. Ichigo then intimated Hanataro into telling him where Squad 12 is at and he found the Garganta and now he's officially ruined the mission of Operation Halcyon " Yoruichi explained to them.
" This is very bad, we need to get to Las Noches as soon as possible , there's no telling what would happen " Shinji stated.
" If he turns into that Hollow form , we'll all be in serious trouble ! " Hachigen replied.
" It took us everything we got last time to stop him , we barely won ! " Love said to the group.
" My girlfriend's Vice Captain is also within the crossfire and being held captive with Orihime. We must get there and stop Ichigo from going into his inner Hollow otherwise they're both going to die and he'll be captured by Aizen " Yoruichi said to the group.
" We need to save him ! " Rose stated.
" We don't have a moment to lose ! " Kensei replied as everyone walks out of the hideout.
Meanwhile at Hueco Mundo
Ichigo charges closer to Las Noches and closing in on the fortress moving beyond the speed of sound when he then notices a series of creatures emerging from the sand . 10 Menos have manifested themselves to take on Ichigo.
" Menos ? Is that all ? " Ichigo arrogantly laughed as he moves around at supersonic speeds and easily cuts all the Menos into pieces .
" RRAWARGH ! " the Hollows roared as 500 of them swarm Ichigo.
" Bring it on you Hollow scum ! " Ichigo shouted as he starts hacking the hollows into pieces with his fury of slashes effortlessly munching down the smaller weaker hollows with his Bankai's speed and power.
Out of the sand emerges an Adjuchas with a purple turtle shell and pink body towering at 12 feet.
" Looks like i found a delicious Shinigami to eat ! " the Adjuchas said to Ichigo.
" Get outta my way ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Not until you're dead ! " the hollow roared as it spins around and tries to hit Ichigo with his shell similar to a Koopa.
" Bitch please ! " Ichigo replied as he stops the spinning shell with his right foot pinning the turtle down
" Impossible, you stopped my attack without trying ! " the Adjuchas stated.
" That's because i'm in Bankai ! " Ichigo replied as he stabs through the head of the turtle Adjuchas, killing it instantly.
Meanwhile Three Hollows watch from a distance as Ichigo kills off multiple hollows with his Bankai with ease. One of the Hollows is a little girl with incredibly wide eyes and the canines on her lower jaw are larger than usual with the remains of her Hollow mask making up a cartoon-like skull which sits on the top of her head. A crack runs along the left side of the mask and four teeth on the left side of the skull are broken off. She has a large scar coming down from her forehead to her nose and a crimson line that stretches horizontally across her face below her eyes. Her clothing consists of a simple green gown with a hood which covers her entire body.
She's with two partners. One of them is a humanoid Arrancar whose head is almost completely covered by his mask, which resembles an insect-like head with large mandibles and horns. His large left eye, yellow in color, is visible through an eyehole on the front of his mask. However, his right eye is concealed by a purple eye patch, which is attached to his brow. The Arrancar has blond hair, some of which sticks out from under the back of his mask. The majority of his body is purple, but he wears a white, armor-like vest that covers the upper part of his torso, as well as white armor on his forearms and shins. He also wears a loincloth around his waist, which is a lighter shade of purple than the rest of his body. His Hollow hole is positioned near his stomach, directly beneath the edge of his vest. The Arrancar walks around barefoot, and has only three toes on each foot
The other partner is has a large, heavyset, but dumpy body with short appendages with small, white hands and feet. He wears a hooded yellow bodysuit which is covered with black polka dots of varying sizes. His head is very large, being almost as big as his body, and unlike most Arrancar, his Hollow mask covers his entire head, and the eyes and mouth also function properly as if it was his real face. His mask resembles a stereotypical tiki mask with exaggerated colorful features, including large eyes and teeth, as well as a prominent nose.
" What a monster , Nel if i die ,please remember me ! " the purple skinned Arrancar said .
" I'll never let anything bad happen to you Pesche, Dondochakka ! " Nel replied.
" I knew Shinigami are evil but this is ridiculous , he's slaughtering them all ! " Dondochakka responded.
Ichigo then turns around and walks towards the trio and heads towards them.
" You think you can hide from me ? " Ichigo shouted as he dashes towards them.
'" We're done for ! " Nel shouted as she cowers behind Pesche.
" It's all over ! " Pesche cried.
" It was nice knowing you ! " Dondochakka replied hugging them only to hear a stabbing sound
They all look to see Ichigo stab through the head of a very large Adjuchas with a scorpion like body.
" Damn, you found me ! " the Adjuchas said to Ichigo before dropping to the ground.
" I have no time to waste, i shouldn't waste my Bankai like this. I'll just stick to my Shikai, i'm getting closer anyways " Ichigo said to himself as he turns back into his Shikai state and passes by the trio not noticing them .
" But you won't be as fast ! " Zangetsu stated.
" So, i can still use my Hollowfication to increase my speed for a bit if i move too slow " Ichigo replied as he travels across the desert.
" That was too close for comfort ! " Nel said to the group.
" It's a good thing we're weaker than Menos, he barely noticed us " Pesche said to the group.
" Yeah , if that was the case, we would of been killed ! " Dondochakka replied.
" He's pure evil, he killed so many hollows. I swear, i hope someone strong comes around and kicks his ass " Nel responded as she looks at the bodies of Hollows piled up .
Back at Las Noches
Skullak is currently training with Asslinger and Demoura while Cirucci is training Loly and Menoly.
" Come on , you two , come at me with everything you got ! " Skullak said to Demoura as the brute charges at the Arrancar with his fist while Asslinger charges up a Cero between the palm of his hands.
" Come on you , put more spirit into those blows ! " Cirucci said to the two female Fracción who are battling it out in a fist fight.
" Aizen loves me more ! " Menoly said to Loly as she throws a right hook at Loly but Loly dodges the attack
" No , he loves me more ! " Loly replied as she throws a right front kick at Menoly but the blonde Arrancar blocks the kick .
" Those two crazy boards, all after Aizen ! " Gantenbainne said to Cirucci as he drinks some sake.
" That's the only way to motivate these girls into getting stronger " Cirucci replied.
" Where's that Inoue girl ? " Gantenbainne asked.
" She's in her cell right now resting up " Cirucci answered only to see Dordoni walk into the room.
" Guys i have some interesting news ! " Dordoni said to the group.
" What is it ? " Cirucci asked.
" There's a Shinigami breaking into Las Noches approaching the perimeter " Dordoni answered.
" What ? " Skullak asked.
" Yep , a lone Shinigami. I heard that the two defectors sentenced to the 22nd Passageway where completely annihilated " Dordoni explained to them.
" Completely annihilated ? " Loly asked.
" Aizen said for us to be on our guard in case he attacks " Dordoni said to the group.
" How does he look like ? " Menoly asked.
" He's a well-built Nino with a black sword , orange hair and hazel eyes, he has the eyes of a killer ! " Dordoni replied.
" How can one Shinigami be such a threat ? " Skullak asked them.
" Yeah, the guy has a deathwish coming here to Las Noches " Cirucci answered.
" Boy it's a good thing you got us out of the 22nd Passageway otherwise, we would of been completely annihilated by the Shinigami " Aisslinger said to Skullak.
" Indeed, we would of been butchered if we still there " Demoura replied as he stands there.
" What to do now ? " Cirucci asked.
" We'll talk to Aizen in person about this " Skullak answered.
" What about us ? " Aisslinger asked.
" All of you resume your training !" Skullak answered as the group leaves the training room.
Meanwhile at another part of Las Noches
Ibiki still within her Arrancar disguise when she encounters a young good-looking man with down spiky, blue hair and wore a red visor glasses. He's wearing a blue shirt with white sleeves with red circles around the sleeve part of his shirt between his hands and elbows. The center of his shirt had a yellow curved end rectangle with a clear gray in middle of it and wore white pants. His mask remains to the form of headphones around his neck . A black panther hollow and a red and black condor hollow . The panther is on the Arrancar's right leg, while the condor is on the Arrancar's left shoulder.
" Who are you ? " the Arrancar asked Ibiki.
" Who are you ? " Ibiki answered with a question.
" Saundo Webu, these are my pets Ravijji and Slazer " the man answered holding his pets.
" Which one is which ? " Ibiki questioned the Arrancar.
" The hollow panther is Ravijji and Slazer is the condor ! " Saundo replied.
" This guys gives me the creeps ! " Ibiki said to herself.
" GRRWARGH ! " the Hollow panther growled as it looks like it's ready to pounce .
" ARRAAACK ! " the Hollow condor screeched as it gets ready to attack.
" Strange, these pets only act this way when someone is up to no good " Saundo said to Ibiki as he gets closer only for Burak and Sukorupo to appear.
" Hey, she's not our enemy ! " Burak said to the hollow.
" You're always scaring me ! " Sukorupo stated as he holds to Burak from behind.
" Come with us ! " Burak said to Ibiki as he walks her away.
" What was the deal with that guy ? " Ibiki asked.
" He the most feared of the Números , he's Arrancar #57 Saundo Webu " Burak answered.
" Why is he most feared ? " Ibiki asked.
" That's because of his personally, he almost doesn't have one. He almost completely emotionless and almost never shows any emotion at all. Just by staring at him, many get shivers down their spines. Even that creep Gin is a bit scared of him. Gin never smiles went Saundo is around. Even Aizen himself feels uncomfortable when Saundo is around. He rarely talks , but only talks when he feel like it " Sukorupo explained to Ibiki.
" So what are you guys doing around here ? " Ibiki asked.
" Just hanging out , what are you doing here ? " Burak questioned the group.
" Looking for Orihime, you know where she's at ? " Ibiki asked.
" She was last seen within the construction site where the Construcción team is at " Burak answered.
" Construcción ? " Ibiki asked.
" Construcción ( Spanish for Construction) team, who are the ones who repair any of Las Noches damages whenever it gets damaged . They're also one of the few Números team the Aizen has some respect too. Without them Las Noches would've took a lot longer to have its past damages repaired and it wouldn't been repaired as fast. They really enjoy their job and are proud of it, being that They are the most respect of all the Números " Burak explained to the fake Arrancar.
" Fine, i'll search there ! " Ibiki replied as she leaves the area.
Elsewhere in Las Noches
In their personal quarters near the construction, the Construcción team were hanging out with each other. Ranpeji is still complaining about the new girl how killed Buroru to his friends. One of the Arrancars sitting on the couch trying to rest is a muscular, but a bit ugly guy. He has dark green hair, red eyes, and is wearing a green uniform. His mask remains was on the sides of his head, above his ears. Three Arrancars are playing a game of pool, one of them has black and blond hair with light orange eyes and wearing a black and yellow uniform. His mask remains covered his whole face and look like a hockey mask. The other one has red hair, yellow eyes, and is wearing a red uniform and his mask remains covers his chin and the last one tallest member in the group and wears a red and white uniform. He had black hair with red highlight in it and reddish-orange eyes. His mask remains was on his both of his cheeks and took a triangle shape that reached down to his chin. The last one is the tallest member in the group and wears a red and white uniform. He has black hair with red highlight in it and reddish-orange eyes. His mask remains is on his both of his cheeks and takes a triangle shape that reached down to his chin.
Another Arrancar is messing with his chemistry set, the Arrancar has dark gray hair, red eyes, and is wearing a white, gray, and black uniform. His mask remains looked his fangs that were on both side of his cheeks and go down to the bottom of his face and the last Arrancar is sitting in his chair looking over the documents of the Palace. That Arrancar has blond hair, red eyes, and wore a yellow uniform. His mask remains took a triangle shape on his cheeks and stop at the bottom ends of his nose.
" Shut up , i'm trying to rest here ! " said the dark green hair Arrancar.
" But that bitch killed Buroru , we can't just let her slide for that Rongu Hauru " Ranpeji stated.
" He's just a low-level Arrancar like you, you're the only one who's not a Números within the Construcción , don't push it " Rongu replied.
" We heard an intruder would be coming here soon, we must prepare to rebuild " said the Arrancar holding the documents speaking with an German accent.
" Can it Suku Rappa and that annoying accent of yours ! " Ranpeji shouted.
" Quit your whining, i'm working on this chemical compound ! " the dark gray hair Arrancar stated .
" Why do you work hard on that chemistry set Mikkusu Masuta ? " Ranpeji asked the dark gray hair Arrancar.
" It's to test the bounds on the mortar we're working on so it would have better tensile strength and larger resistance to blunt force " Mikkusu stated.
" Screw that, i'm going to find that Luna bitch and make her pay ! " Ranpeji stated.
" We have work to do soon , this is no time for petty revenge schemes " said the black and blond hair Arrancar.
" I don't care Haitawa , i'm not working until i kick someone's ass , if anything i prefer kicking ass " Ranpeji replied.
" We have no clue how much damage we need to repair , we need you here " said the red-haired Arrancar.
" I told you Obarodo, revenge comes first ! " Ranpeji replied.
" Calm down and think about this ! " said the black-haired ,red highlight Arrancar.
" I had enough talk Suka Benja ! " Ranpenji replied as he leaves the area .
" Great, now i have to be the one to carry most of the gear ! " Rongu mumbled to himself.
Meanwhile at Harribel's Palace
Harribel is in a hottub with Starrk both of them naked but the water is covering Harribel's nipples when Harribel's Fracción appear.
" Is it true that Las Noches is under attack ? " Mila asked Harribel.
" Yes but only by one person ! " Harribel answered.
" Still what if he's really strong ? " Apache asked.
" Then don't fight him , it's best you girls stay away from the Shinigami then and hang out here with me " Harribel replied.
" But we haven't seen Rey anywhere ! " Sun Sun stated.
" Let me find him ! " Lilynette replied as she walks away .
" Be careful Lilynette ! " Starrk said to her.
" Okay, you don't have to tell me twice ! " Harribel replied.
Meanwhile at Barragan's Palace
Barragan is sitting on his throne room concerned about the power of Ichigo.
" So he's that strong ? How is it possible for a human to achieve the power of a Vasto Lorde, how is it possible that these Shinobi could fight on par with Shinigami and Arrancar ? Nothing makes sense anymore " Barragan said to himself as he sits on the throne.
" We hear the place is going to be attacked by Shinigami soon, what shall we do ? " Ggio Vega asked.
" Stay here in this palace, he's too much for you " Barragan answered.
" How strong is he ? " Findor asked .
" He's above Captain level , he shouldn't be taken as a joke " Barragan replied.
" Lord Barragan, you seem nervous " Choe stated.
" I'm not nervous, you forget how strong i am ? I should've been the first Espada, no one has power above my aging power. The mightiest and most absolute power of death. It stands in the way of every living being. No one is above it " Barragan explained to the group.
" Yeah, we shouldn't worry at all. Barragan is god, he'll smite those who dare challenge his power " Niggre replied.
" We fear nothing as long as the great one is here " Abirama said to group.
" Indeed ! " Charlotte replied.
" On the contrary, we have everything to fear . A Shinigami who's achieved Bankai now has the power of a Vasto Lorde within him , he could be the greatest threat to all of us " Barragan said to himself.
Las Noches Gates
7:00 P.M. Ichigo has arrived within the outside area of Las Noches 500 meters from the gate in his Shikai form. Ichigo holding his Shikai looks around to see if anyone is nearby .
" This place is huge , i think this place is much bigger than a mountain " Ichigo said to himself as he looks at the top.
" Going by the dimensions, it's at least 10km in radius and over 6km high " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" How did you make such a guest ? " Ichigo asked his Zanpakutō spirit.
" Because i paid attention in math class unlike you" Zangetsu answered.
" Why did Aizen make this place so huge ? It's almost as big as Karakura Town, if not bigger . It's hard to believe that this is even a building " Ichigo stated.
Suddenly creatures come out the sand and come to attack Ichigo. One of the creatures is giant cyclops mummy wielding a giant club and towers at 30 feet high, another creature comes out of the sand is a 20 foot tall humanoid manta ray with bladed wing arms and a thin long tail with a string on it and the last creature is a 15 foot tail jellyfish hollow.
" Looks like have an intruder in this place Kurage ! " the manta ray said to the jellyfish .
" Indeed Mantarei ! " the jellyfish replied back to the manta ray.
" We crush puny Shinigami insect ! " the cyclops roared as it beats it's chest like a retard .
" Don't get too excited Cíclope, this guy isn't even a Vice Captain. There's no way he has a chance against 3 Adjuchas " Mantarei said to the Cíclope.
" That's what you think ! " Ichigo replied as he draws out his Shikai and goes to attack the Adjuchas.
Ichigo goes to attack the Manta Ray but the Manta Ray Adjuchas blocks all of Ichigo's sword swings .
" Is that the best you got Shinigami ? " the manta ray said to Ichigo as he goes to slash Ichigo but Ichigo blocks it's slash.
" Hardly ! " Ichigo answered as he pushes the Hollow back and then goes to stab the Adjuchas in the head but is smacks back 20 feet away by a tentacle.
" Don't forget about me ! " Kurage said to Ichigo as lunges it's electrified tentacles at Ichigo but Ichigo dodges them with Shunpo and goes to slash the creature with his sword but the sword bounces off it's skin.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked shocked to see the sword strike fail and only to be grabbed by the monster .
" My Hierro is made of a rubber like substance, unlike normal Hierro, any sword strike is useless against me " Kurage explained to Ichigo as he electrocutes Ichigo with his powerful lightning tentacles .
"ARRGH ! " Ichigo shouted as he tries to resist the lightning current with his Reiatsu but then the jellyfish extends his tentacles out 600 feet long.
" Now Cíclope , crush him ! " Kurage said to the cyclops.
" Right ! " Cíclope replied as he swings his club and smashes the ground creating a 300 foot radius shockwave seemingly crushing Ichigo but Ichigo has revealed to have blocked the blow.
" Impossible, he blocked Ciclopes strike shortly after being hit by Kurages electric tentacles. He's stronger than a normal Vice Captain " Mantarei said to himself.
" You got to do better than that ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes Ciclope with immense force but Ciclope stands there unfazed.
" Foolish Shinigami. Ciclope's Hierro is much stronger than a normal Adjuchas . You can't cut me with sword based attacks " Ciclope explained to Ichigo as he punches Ichigo 300 feet eastward mashing him through a 3 story rock formation. Ichigo gets back up and goes to attack the Adjuchas.
" What the hell are you guys ? You're no ordinary Adjuchas " Ichigo asked them.
" We are the Three Adjuchas Gate Guardians of Las Noches . We have been chosen by Lord Aizen for each of us has a special ability that makes us twice as powerful as an ordinary Adjuchas. There hasn't been a single person who broke into Las Noches in the last 45 years that made it through us. If you can't even get through us, what chance do you have against the Espada or Aizen " Mantarei explained to Ichigo.
" So if the jellyfish guy has soft Hierro that is rubble like and the cyclops has hard Hierro, what is your power ? " Ichigo asked Mantarei.
" These blades you see here cleave through Hierro like butter as well as Zanpakutō thanks to a special mineral found in Sekkiseki stone that my body produces, largely because i'm the only Hollow who has survived eating that rare stone . It's surprising that your blade managed to withstand the cuts on your blade so far however that was only a practice slash from me " Mantarei explained to Ichigo as Ichigo notices a crack on his Shikai blade.
" Damn, these guys are going to be harder than i thought " Ichigo said to himself.
" Ichigo , look for their weakness . They must all have some weak point " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" I just need to find it ! " Ichigo stated as he resumes his fight.
" Time to crush you ! " Mantarei shouted as he dashes at Ichigo and comes at him with a series of sword swings but Ichigo dodges each of the blows.
" I can't let him touch my blade or he'll break it ! " Ichigo said to himself only to see bandages come at him like tentacles.
" Take this ! " Ciclope shouted as he has his cloth wrap around Ichigo.
" Damn it , i can't move ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to break free.
" Silly Shinigami. Ciclope's cloth is harder than steel. It's the reason why you can't cut me " Ciclope explained to Ichigo as he holds Ichigo tight.
" Good , hold him down while i charge up my Lightning Cero " Kurage said to Ciclope.
" Right ! " Ciclope replied as he holds onto Ichigo.
" Wait a second, that eye of his is the weakness ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" Finish him off already Kurage ! " Mantarei shouted.
" Right ! " Kurage replied as he fires the blast towards Ichigo.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he kicks up dirt which gets into Ciclopes eye.
" Ahh my eyes ! " Ciclopes shouted as he's forced to release Ichigo from his grip and Ichigo knocks back the lightning blast which hits Kurage.
" ARRGH, can't move ! " Kurage shouted only to see Ichigo above him .
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo shouted as he creates a large blue wave that creates a 500 foot long, 3 foot wide, 10 foot deep fissure which cuts the hollow in half, killing him.
" ARRGH , son of a bitch ! " Ciclopes shouted as he goes to crush Ichigo with his club but Ichigo dodges the attack with Mantarei behind him.
" I got you now ! " Mantarei shouted as he comes at Ichigo with a powerful slash but Ichigo dodges which the slash easily cleaves down a 5 story rock formation.
" Now to deal these two ! " Ichigo said to himself as he shoots a weak Getsuga to alert the monster.
" You son of a bitch ! " Ciclope shouted as he grabs Ichigo again with the bandages.
" Hold him down Cliope ! " Mantarei shouted as he dashes at Ichigo and stabs through Ichigo .
" ARRGH ! " Ciclope shouted as it was revealed that they stabbed an afterimage and the attack actually pierced through Ciclopes.
" Boy, i never thought i could use the afterimage technique even in Shikai. That battle with the Nine Tails must of increased my speed to a far greater extent " Ichigo said to Mantarei.
" Ciclope ! " Mantarei shouted as Ciclope holds onto his punctured stomach only to see Ichigo behind him.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he swings down on his Shikai with his right hand slamming his Zangetsu into the ground creating a 600 foot blast radius which vaporizes Mantarei and Ciclope and sends an explosive wave blasting a 20 foot high ,10 foot wide hole into the wall of Las Noches.
" Looks like you made it in ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" Something feels different ! " Ichigo said to Zangetsu.
" What is it ? " Zangetsu asked.
" My power feels completely different, it took far less effort than i thought it would to take on those Adjuchas " Ichigo answered.
" What do you mean ? " Zangetsu asked.
" I shouldn't be this strong in Shikai. Before ,even with increased power with the Vizards, i had trouble fighting 3 Adjuchas at once, these guys were twice as strong as a normal Adjuchas and yet i defeated them with barely a starch. That and the Afterimage ability " Ichigo explained to Zangetsu.
" I noticed, your power must of increased as you were healed up " Zangetsu stated.
" Whatever, i'm going to get Orihime back ! " Ichigo replied as he rushes inside the massive building of Las Noches.
Meanwhile at Aizen's throne room
Aizen watches the battle from the monitor with Gin and Tousen.
" Boy, Ichigo has improved . He killed the equivalent of 6 Vice Captains without releasing his Bankai " Aizen said to Gin.
" Those 3 top-tier Adjuchas are only parallel to the strength of the Guardian of Menos Forest " Gin replied.
" I was certain that Ichigo would of at least need Bankai to take on these Adjuchas combined attack power ,even with his increased power " Tōusen stated.
" Looks like Ichigo is like a Saiyan. He gets stronger from his near death experience. It seems that the Rasenshiruken attack still left fragments of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox energy within Ichigo, therefore his body has been supercharged by the Nine Tails Chakra . Ichigo is now twice as powerful as he was when he fought a week ago " Aizen explained to the two.
" You're telling me he's stronger ? He's already become 2 times stronger than a Captain , you're telling me that he could possibly take on the Espadas ? " Tōusen asked Aizen.
" At this point, there's no telling how much stronger he might become " Aizen answered as he watches the monitor.
Meanwhile throughout Las Noches
Ibiki hears the sirens of an intruder breaking into the fortress .
" There's an intruder within this place , this isn't good " Ibiki said to herself as she then sees the Construcción team heading out.
" Hey , there ! " Rongu said to Ibiki.
" Have you seen Orihime Inoue ? " Ibiki asked the guys.
" I heard she's within the holding cell within the 990th floor at sector 0 within the central chamber west of Aizen's throne room " Suku Rappa answered.
" How many rooms are in this massive palace ? " Ibiki asked.
" 5,124, 706 rooms in total and 50 sectors . Each sector is the area of 1,320 feet in diameter , the size of several city blocks " Suku Rappa answered.
" Over 5 million rooms, that's enough to fit the entire population of Tokyo within this dome. Why would Aizen make such this place so huge ? " Ibiki asked.
" It's because this would be his outer heaven. Once he rules the world, this would be the center of his empire, Las Noches. The greatest castle city known to the universe . Soon more Hollows would become Arrancars and we can have an Arrancar army easily within the millions once Aizen creates the Ōken " Suku explained to Ibiki.
" I see, can you tell me the exact directions to this place ? " Ibiki asked him.
" There are 46,765 elevators around this fortress. On the roof of Las Noches, you would see 5 towers, each of them easily as large as a skyscraper. Go to the largest one, the one the size of the empire state building. There you will find Orihime Inoue's cell That is sector 0 . May i ask why you're doing this ? " Suku asked Ibiki.
" No reason, just checking on the prisoner ! " Ibiki answered as she leaves to the top of Las Noches.
Meanwhile at Floor 1 of Las Noches
Ichigo rushes through searching room to room for Orihime .
" Orihime , Where are you ? " Ichigo shouted as he rushes around the place looking for Orihime .
Ichigo walks into a deadend within the hall and sees a wall within the way.
" Looks like we went the wrong way ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" No, looks like i'll just create a new entrance " Ichigo replied as he slashes down the wall which then has him come into the Fracción training room.
" What the hell was that ? " Loly asked Menoly.
" We got an intruder ! " Menoly answered.
" Who is this guy ? " Aisslinger asked.
" Don't know but i'm going to crush him ! " Demoura replied as the smoke clears up to reveal Ichigo.
" Arrancars ! " Ichigo said to them as he stares at them with a mean look on his face.
" What's with the tie on your head ? " Loly asked Ichigo.
" My girlfriend gave this ! " Ichigo answered.
" Who's your girlfriend ? " Menoly asked.
" YOU BASTARDS TOOK HER FROM ME ! " Ichigo replied as he swings his sword which Loly dodges.
" Looks like he's going to be a tough one! " Loly said to Menoly.
" He's so cute, perhaps we should keep him as a pet after we defeat him ! " Menoly replied.
" Ha, as if . None of you guys have the strength needed to beat me " Ichigo taunted as he swings his sword creating a shockwave which pushes back the Fracción.
" He's immensely powerful ! " said to Demoura.
" How can that be ? " Demoura asked Aisslinger .
" Just the swing of his sword creates a shockwave " Loly stated.
" What is he ? " Menoly asked.
" Let's not take chances and release our swords ! " Aisslinger replied as he draws his sword.
" Then let's do this Poison Escolopendra (Spanish for Centipede )" Loly chanted as a whirl of violet, dark Reiatsu is released from her dagger and she incases her body in a dark purple fog in a toxic-mist fashion. Loly then takes on the form of a centipede-like creature. Her mask grows and covers both of her cheeks. She grows armor over her legs, arms, breasts, and neck. Her arms take the form of two long centipede-like creatures. They have the body of a centipede without the head. Two large bony protrusions shove off her shoulder-blade, bone casing encroaching her ribs and breast, covering her center. The centipede-like extensions that curve out of these, are a total of 4-6. Her hair and face are unchanged, with her hair blowing across her face in the field of battle. Her legs become engrossed with a similar centipede appearance, appearing as plates.
" Sting, Escorpion ( Spanish for Scorpion )" Menoly chanted as she draws her Zanpakutō and goes into her Resurrección form, releasing a dark green aura around her body . After the green cloud has disperse, it's revealed that Menoly's shirt is gone, which has been replaced with claw like armor covering her entire chest. She also has some armor on her shoulders, waist, and cheeks. The collar around her neck has extended and covers her whole neck. Her hands become large pincers and she has a massive scorpion tail and stinger behind her.
" Crush Elefante Hombre ( Spanish for Elephant Man ) " Demoura chanted as he transforms from his human form into his original per Arrancar state . Demoura maintains features that give him the appearance of an hybrid between a Human and a Hollow. Demoura appears as a dark-skinned deformed human, whose stature is disproportionate to that of a normal Human. The remains of his Hollow mask covers the top of his face. He also has two strange linear emblems between this eyes and an enormous and deformed jaw. Demoura tends to walk stooped because of his long arms which brushed the ground as if he were a primate. He also has black hair and a dread-locked hairstyle with several ornaments and outstanding earrings at the end of these. Underneath his mask, he has two lines tattooed down his cheeks. His Arrancar hakama is simple and similar to the ones of most Arrancar.
" Blast Disparar Garra ( Spanish for Shooting Claw ) " Aisslinger chanted as he goes from looking like a cross between Kakashi and Ryūken to his original state with four arms that protrude out from under the rear of his cloak.
Meanwhile at Aizen's throne room.
Aizen watches Ichigo prepare to fight the group.
" This is where the fun begins ! " Aizen said to Tōusen .
" What are the power readings Gin ? " Tōusen asked.
" Ichigo went back down to 5,000 RYK , Menoly is at 1,400 RYK , Loly is at 1,500 RYK , Aisslinger is at 2,500 RYK and Demoura is at 3,000 RYK " Gin answered.
" Let's see how well Ichigo does this time with 4 Vice Captain level Arrancar, let's see if that increase of his wasn't a fluke " Aizen stated as he watches the battle.
Back at the Fracción Training room
Ichigo dodges a strike from Demoura which causes the ground to shake . Ichigo dodges another punch from Demoura which easily smashes down a wall . Ichigo then see Aisslinger behind him with Sonído.
" Take this Uña Tirotear (Spanish for To Shoot A Nail ) " Aisslinger chanted as he fires 108 shots at Ichigo by extending all of his arms out diagonally from his body and rapidly fire blasts of energy from each of his fingertips but Ichigo manages to bullet time the shots and dodge them.
" You got to do better than that ! " Ichigo stated as he then sees Demoura come at him with more punches.
" Take this and this and this ! " Demoura shouted as he creates a series of powerful explosions with his punches but Ichigo moves out of the way only to see an incoming tentacle from Loly.
" Got you ! " Loly shouted as she pushes back Ichigo 30 feet but Ichigo regains his footing and hold back her hit.
" Is that all you got ? " Ichigo taunted only to see the ground melting under him and his blade covered in smoke which forces him to move away.
" Idiot , trying to block my attacks are useless. My tentacles melt anything that it hits , instantly eroding them " Loly explained to Ichigo as Ichigo then picks up his brunt blade and goes for a Getsuga.
" Fine, then i'll just blast you from a distance ! " Ichigo replied only to see Menoly behind him.
" Take this ! " Menoly shouted as she lunges her tail at Ichigo but he dodges and goes to cut her head off but Menoly blocks with her claw.
" One sting of my stringer and i can kill anyone with my powerful cell destroying poisons, I just need to bypass the Hierro of the enemy and hit them in the veins for my poison to spread. These pincers of mine allow me to weaken and crush Hierro as well " Loly explained her abilities to Ichigo as she cracks Ichigo's blade a bit.
" Los Puños de Bala ( Spanish for Bullet Fists) " Demoura chanted as he charges Balas in his fists and goes to punch Ichigo with a series of fast punches but Ichigo dodges the punches only to see Loly charge up a Cero in her mouth .
" Cero Tóxicos ( Spanish for Toxic Zero) " Loly chanted as she combines her poison with her Cero and fires a dark purple blast towards Ichigo but Ichigo barely dodges the blast and almost gets hit by the poison with his shoulder grazed and burned badly.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted as he holds on to his shoulder with his Reiatsu stopping the poison.
" Damn it, i missed the shot ! " Loly stated.
" But i won't miss this shot ! " Aisslinger replied as he charge up all the fingertips to form one large Cero which condenses into a large bullet like projectile.
" I can barely move ! " Ichigo said to himself .
" Take this , Cero Tirotear (Spanish for Zero Sniping) " Aisslinger chanted as he fire a highly dense but powerful Bala blast as strong as a Cero moving at 7,884. 8 ft/sec (5,376 MPH ) . Ichigo barely blocks the blast and his Shikai cracks from the force of the blast and he's pushed back 100 feet but he still stands only to see Demoura charge towards him .
" Enfocar Ponche ( Spanish for Focus Punch) " Demoura chanted as he focuses his spiritual power in his fist and creates a shockwave which sends Ichigo 300 feet away with his Shikai knocked out of his hand.
" Time for me to finish this ! Veneno de Explosión ( Spanish for Venom Blast) " Menoly chanted as she fires acid from her stinger and claws moving at high speeds which hit where Ichigo is at creating a massive wave of corrosive energy however a blue wave of energy surrounds Ichigo protecting him from the blast and he picks up his Shikai.
" How did he survived that attack ? " Aisslinger asked them .
" Time to get serious ! " Ichigo said to the group as he dashes at them with blue Reiatsu and his eyes glow blue .
" Take this ! " Demoura shouted as he goes to punch Ichigo but he blocks the blow with one hand.
" Sorry not good enough ! " Ichigo replied as he slashes Demoura's arm with ease.
" Demoura ! " Aisslinger shouted.
" What's going on with his power ? " Loly asked as she sees Ichigo's spiritual power go back to normal in appearance.
" It doesn't matter, waste him ! " Menoly answered.
" Uña Tirotear (Spanish for To Shoot A Nail ) " Aisslinger chanted as he fires 108 shots at Ichigo but Ichigo easily cuts apart all the bullets with his Shikai.
" Those bullets aren't as fast as Uryu's arrows " Ichigo said to Aisslinger shocking him.
" What the hell ? How did you do that ? " Aisslinger shouted .
" That's a good question , my power wasn't this high when i used Shikai before " Ichigo said to himself as he easily dodges the strike from Loly.
" Not bad but try dodging this ! " Loly shouted as she sends her tentacles towards Ichigo but Ichigo uses a powerful slash to cut Loly's tentacles off .
" You're not touching me with those again ! " Ichigo stated as he looks at Loly cry in pain.
" ARRGGH! MY ARMS ! " Loly shouted only to see Ichigo come at her from behind.
" Take this ! " Ichigo replied as he slashes Loly in half with a two-handed slash.
" LOLY ! " Menoly shouted as she looks at her friend die in front of her.
" I got you now , Cero Tirotear (Spanish for Zero Sniping) " Aisslinger chanted as he fire a highly dense but powerful Bala blast as strong as a Cero moving at 7,884. 8 ft/sec (5,376 MPH ).
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he swings down on his Shikai and fires a blast through Aisslinger's attack and vaporizes the Arrancar .
" ARRRGH ! " Aisslinger shouted before vaporizing into dust.
" Aisslinger ! " Demoura shouted.
" Who's next ? " Ichigo arrogantly asked them.
" YOU BASTARD ! " Menoly shouted as she charges up her Reiatsu.
" Enfocar Ponche ( Spanish for Focus Punch)" Demoura chanted as he focuses his spiritual power in his fist and creates a shockwave leveling everything within a 300 foot radius but Ichigo manages to block with both hands on his Shikai.
" I got you now ! " Ichigo shouted as he stabs through Demoura's chest .
" ARRGH ! " Demoura shouted as he coughs blood from his mouth.
" Meigetsu (明月, Harvest Moon) " Ichigo chanted as he fires a blast through Demoura killing him instantly and leaving a massive hole through his torso
" Take this , this is for Loly . Veneno de Explosión ( Spanish for Venom Blast) " Menoly chanted as she fires acid from her stinger and claws moving at high speeds which hit where Ichigo is at creating a massive wave of corrosive energy which causes Ichigo to melt.
" ARRGGH ! " Ichigo shouted as his skin melts .
" Ha , that's for my friend Loly. I loved her ! " Menoly shouted only to see it was an afterimage.
" Looks like i can use this ability more than once " Ichigo said to himself.
" Impossible ! How did you dodge point-blank ? " Menoly asked Ichigo.
" You're too slow ! " Ichigo answered as he swings his Shikai and decapitates Menoly with a single slash.
Meanwhile at Aizen's throne room
Aizen and his comrades observe the battle between Ichigo and the Fracción .
" Looks like Ichigo passed without using his full power ! " Aizen said to the group.
" Amazing, his power peaked at 10,000 RYK. Not bad for a Shikai " Gin stated.
" It's amazing how powerful he's become so strong ! " Tōusen replied .
" This day keeps getting more interesting ! " Aizen responded.
Meanwhile at the 222th floor Sector 3
Skullak hears the report and is shocked to hear that his newly acquired Fracción were among the first causalities.
" Sector 43 has been breach, current casualties reported with 4 deaths . Números #33, #34, #18 and #17 have been confirmed deceased . Intruder is confirmed to be Captain level ,all Números and Fracción approach the intruder with extreme caution and avoid direct combat " the P.A said to the Arrancars in the base.
" No ! It can't be ! " Cirucci shouted.
" This is bad, Aisslinger and Demoura, we go way back. How could they fall so easily to just one intruder ? " Skullak asked as he hits the wall.
" Loly and Menoly were foolish kids but they were too young to die this way , this isn't fair " Cirucci answered as tears come down her cheeks.
" Calm down Cirucci , there not gone forever . Remember what Orihime is capable of doing , i'll go and find a way to bring them back " Skullak stated.
" Orihime can bring back the dead ? " Cirucci asked.
" Ulquiorra told me that he saw her bring back the dead a while ago , it's possible given she has abilities beyond spatial regression " Skullak replied.
" Dordoni, Gantenbainne come with me. We're going to kick that Shinigami's ass " Cirucci shouted as she is joined by Gantenbainne and Dordoni.
" Be careful you guys ! " Skullak replied.
Meanwhile at Floor 2 sector 43
Ichigo advances to the second floor of Las Noches within sector 43 when he sees a Bala fired towards him but Ichigo dodges the blast.
" We meet again Soul Reaper! " Yammy said to Ichigo as he looks at Ichigo with anger.
" We meet again , this time you're not getting out of this alive ! " Ichigo replied.
" What's with that stupid tie on your head ? " Yammy asked.
" Orihime gave it to me , speaking of which , where is she ? " Ichigo asked Yammy .
" Like i'm telling you ! " Yammy replied.
" Then i'll just beat the crap out of you as badly as you did to my friends " Ichigo said to the brute.
" Ha, i remember the beating i gave you and your pussy ass friends ! " Yammy stated as he thinks to the past.
One Month ago
Yammy's pov
I remembered when i came to Karakura Town looking for you . Ulquiorra and i landed within the shithole that was your town. I easily killed hundreds of souls with my Gonzui . That whore and that weakling Mexican we're the first come there and they saved that pile of trash for a human from my assault.
" Orihime , listen Tatsuki and leave ! " weak ass Mexican said to whore who was healing trash.
" Ulquiorra is that guy one of them ? " i asked Ulquiorra .
" You should be able to tell in one glance that this guy is trash ! " Ulquiorra answered.
" I see ! " i stated as weak ass Mexican prepared to fight him.
The battle only lasted 3 seconds for my strength easily tanked that pitiful human and i broke that bitches arm into 3 pieces . That whore rushed to his aid trying to help him .
" Chad get up , Chad speak to me , Chad . Hang on ! " whore said to worthless human fodder .
" Ulquiorra , how about her, is she trash ? " i asked my best friend about her.
" Yes Yammy , she's trash ! " Ulquiorra answered.
" Wake up ! " she said to her pathetic trash for a friend as she struggled to wake him up.
That worthless ginger whore barely blocked my finger strike with her retarded weakass shield.
" This girl, what is she ? " i asked my friend.
" Sōten Kisshun (双天帰盾, Twin Sacred Return Shield) " she chanted as she began to heal that trash's arm.
" How are you able to heal that guy ? More importantly, how is he still alive ? " i asked her.
That worthless whore tried to fight me , big mistake.
" Koten Zanshun (孤天斬盾, Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield) I reject " Orihime shouted as she desperately tried to hit me with her strongest attack but i easily shattered her Tsubaki like it was paper .
I was about to kill her but then you showed up to save me .
" Just who the hell are you ? " i said to you.
" Sorry Ichigo, i couldn't do anything . If i was stronger , i could've stopped this " she said to you.
" You did everything you could, i'll protect you and all my friends " you replied as you released your Bankai.
" Did he say Bankai ? Hey Ulquiorra, is this guy ? " i asked my friend.
" Yeah.. it's amazing how your senseless ruckus lured him out so effortlessly . The orange hair and ... the black Bankai, yes he is our target Yammy " Ulquiorra answered.
" Yes ! " i shouted as i go to punch you however your Bankai's power was so immense , you effortlessly blocked punch.
" Are you the one who ripped Chads right arm ? Then i'm going to take your right arm too " you said to me , you moved too fast for me to react and you effortlessly cut through my Hierro and took my right arm .
" Damn you little runt ! " i shouted at you.
" Looks like you're pretty tough if you can still insult me ! " you replied to me.
" Need some help Yammy ? " Ulquiorra asked me.
" Stay back ! " i answered.
Then it happened, you were being paralyzed by the fear of me . I then kicked your ass relentlessly.
" STAY BACK ORIHIME ! " you shouted trying to warn her only to get bitch slapped back into the ground.
Present Day
3rd Person pov
" And now i'm going to do the same to you before you can even turn Bankai , how's that bitch ? " Yammy asked Ichigo.
" You assume i need Bankai for a second-rate Arrancar ! " Ichigo answered.
" What was that ? How dare you insult me ? " Yammy shouted as he goes to punch Ichigo but Ichigo easily dodges Yammy's slow punches.
Ichigo comes at him with a vertical slash which nearly takes the Arrancar's head off with the swipe and creates a 5 foot fissure within the ground but Yammy ducks down to avoid the strike but Ichigo uses a sweeping slash to try catching Yammy and then uses a two-handed slash to try slashing the Arrancar but he dodges the blow. Yammy goes to punch Ichigo but he misses his blow as it creates 10 foot diameter, 3 foot deep crater in the ground. Ichigo uses his Zangetsu to smack Yammy with the blunt edge to the face , sending Yammy flying 300 feet away .
" ARRGH ! " Yammy shouted.
" How lame, is this the best you can do against me ? " Ichigo asked Yammy as he walks closer towards him.
" His strength increased greatly but how ? " Yammy stated to himself as he charges at Ichigo with his right hand.
" That won't work ! " Ichigo taunted as he grabs his fist with his open left palm and holds his fist " You punches can't hope to damage me and your speed is nothing within using Sonído " Ichigo stated as he throws Yammy 500 feet eastward .
" You dickhead ! " Yammy shouted as his fist glows with blue Reiatsu and he comes at Ichigo but Ichigo dodges his punch with ease which causes a large explosion leveling everything within a 200 foot radius.
" Too slow ! " Ichigo shouted as he hits him in the left check with a right slash then slashes Yammy though his arm and then hits the large Arrancar in the stomach with a left body blow with his right hand covered with Reiatsu then hits him in the neck with a right hammer fist with the hilt then sends him flying with a left rising slash sending him flying 200 feet in the air through 10 floors but Yammy regains balance and goes to counterattack.
" Die bitch ! " Yammy shouted as he does a flying punch which Ichigo dodges creating a 400 foot radius shockwave.
" Not a bad attack but not good enough ! " Ichigo shouted as he kicks Yammy in the face and then grabs him and throws him through the ground with a chokeslam. Ichigo goes to stab him in the neck with his Shikai.
" What was that ? " Ichigo asked Yammy.
" I'll tell you what that was . It's a Bala ( Spanish for Bullet ) . While not nearly as powerful as a Cero, its speed is 20 times faster . Now die you bitch " Yammy shouted as he punches the air firing another Bala hitting Ichigo.
" ARRHG ! " Ichigo shouted as he falls to the ground.
" DIE! DIE ! DIE ! DIE YOU FUCKING BASTARD ! " Yammy shouted as he hits Ichigo 7 more times with his Bala hits manages to seriously damage Ichigo.
The smoke clears up to reveal Ichigo is on the ground with 3rd degree burns all over his body.
" Now that you're done, i'll finish you off " Yammy said to Ichigo as he charges up a Cero from his right hand but it was an afterimage .
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he swings down on his Shikai and fires a blast through Yammy's right arm cutting the arm off.
" ARRGGH ! Not again ! " Yammy shouted as he holds onto his arm socket.
" Are you really surprised i can cut you with my Shikai when i effortlessly cut off your arm with just Bankai ? " Ichigo asked Yammy.
" YOU BITCH ! " Yammy shouted as he rips off the jacket flexing his muscles.
" You can flex your muscles all you want, with one arm you're power is only halved and your body has token too much damage to be of any threat to me " Ichigo arrogantly taunted.
" You filthy little worm , did you really think this is the full extent of my power ? You weak ass bitch, i haven't even begun to fight seriously " Yammy answered.
" You're bluffing, you're at your limit . You have no way of fighting me " Ichigo stated.
" Did you forget i have a Zanpakutō bitch ? " Yammy shouted as he slowly draws out his blade.
" Shit, i almost forgot that he had a Zanpakutō , still his body is too heavily wounded to be a threat to me " Ichigo said to himself as she comes at Yammy .
" Be Enraged Ira ( Spanish for Anger ) " Yammy shouted as he releases his sword creating a massive explosion of red energy followed by a red smoke cloud.
His skull ridges become more pronounced taking on the appearance of two large purplish-gray head coverings extending to the back of his head. His white mask fragments fuse to his face, becoming his actual lower jaw. His red markings extend back from his face into two long flame tattoos. The majority of his body is tan in color, with his thin ponytail becoming longer. His body transforms drastically with his torso being largely the same but at the base attached to large elephant-like caterpillar-like legs, eight each extending back from the torso connected to the body at white carapace covered joints leading to up to the base of a bony tail club, similar to that of an Ankylosaurus. On each leg he has three large toes that extend back from the front to the back of the leg. He has five large black cylindrical tubes form on his back about half of the length of the tubes on his elbows. He has six black rounded nodules along the length of his forearms. Large purplish-gray cylindrical tubes form on his back and on his elbows, the latter of which can be used as piston-like rams. While releasing into this form his number changes from 10 to 0, by the 1 disintegrating leaving on the 0.
The release from causes a cave in and 5 floor to collapse with Yammy's increased size.
" What the hell ? You gotten much bigger and what happened with that tattoo ? " Ichigo asked him.
" Meet the 0 Espada Yammy ! " Yammy gloated.
" 0 ? Impossible ...What the hell ? What just happened ? " Ichigo asked the 76 foot high Arrancar.
" Did someone tell you guys that the Espada ranks went from through 1 to 10 ? It's actually ranked 0 to 9 " Yammy answered.
" You gotta be kidding me ? Even your right arm fully healed ? " Ichigo asked.
" I'm actually the strongest Espada because i'm the only Espada that change his number by conserving power before using my Resurrección. I'm Espada no# 0 Yammy Riyalgo ! " Yammy explained to Ichigo.
" So, that's your release form ? I was expecting much better actually , your Reiatsu is barely above Grimmjow at base form " Ichigo said to Yammy.
" What do you mean much better ? " Yammy asked.
" For a #0 Espada, your Reiatsu isn't all that impressive . That guy named Lee and that Deidara guy had far higher Reiatsu than you " Ichigo explained to Yammy.
" Try me bitch ! " Yammy replied as he stands there.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo chanted as he shoots a powerful blast at Yammy but the Arrancar easily blocks the blow with his massive right hand .
" Ha that weak blast won't work ! " Yammy shouted as he releases a red Reiatsu wave creating a 500 foot radius explosion which blows away Ichigo and sends him flying. Yammy then charges up a Cero in his mouth.
" Die Bitch ! " Yammy shouted as he fires a Cero from his mouth.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he's hit by the massive 10 foot diameter Cero as it creates a large 1,000 foot radius explosion .
The blast levels up to 100 floors and creates a 120 foot diameter hole through floors 1 to 6 destroying over 600 rooms. The smoke surrounds the area with Yammy standing there .
" There's no kill like overkill ! " Yammy said to himself only to see massive wave of energy engulfing everything within a 300 foot radius in a whirlwind.
" Bankai : Tensa Zangetsu (天鎖斬月, Heaven Chain Slaying Moon) " Ichigo said as he reveals his black sword from the cloud dust cloud and reveals he doesn't even have a starch from Yammy's Cero .
" Impossible, how did you just tank that ? " Yammy asked Ichigo.
" Isn't it obvious, i used the same amount of Reiatsu to tank your blast " Ichigo answered.
" Don't mock me ! " Yammy shouted as he goes to punch Ichigo but Ichigo easily dodges the attack.
" Too slow ! " Ichigo replied as he moves at 6416.7 ft/sec(4,375 MPH) and easily hacks off one of Yammy's feet .
" ARRGGGGHWARGH ! My Leg ! " Yammy shouted in agonizing pain as he falls down to the ground.
" That form is too slow for me ! " Ichigo answered.
" You bastard ! " Yammy shouted as he fires a 10 foot Bala from his right hand that moves so fast it manages to push Ichigo back a bit while he blocks it.
" That attack was fast for something so big ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" Take this ! " Yammy shouted as he fires 20 Balas in punching motions which push back Ichigo 600 feet while he's blocking. Yammy shoots a two-fisted Bala which heads towards him but Ichigo smiles and heads towards Yammy.
" Ha, try keeping up with me now Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH).
" What the hell ? He's moving so fast that i can't even keep up with him ! " Yammy said to himself getting nervous from seeing so many afterimages .
" What's wrong ? Can't follow me ? Am i too slow for you ? I can't still go a bit faster " Ichigo arrogantly taunted as he moves around Yammy which causes Yammy to get confused.
" SHUT UP ! " Yammy replied shouting at Ichigo as he fires more Balas to try hitting Ichigo causing 6 explosions but all missing their mark.
" Hah, you missed me ! " Ichigo stated as he dodges the Bala and slices off all the fingers on Yammy's right hand.
" ARRRGGH! My fingers ! " Yammy shouted as he holds on to them with his left arm.
" That's some pretty weak Hierro. Grimmjow could effortlessly catch my barehanded in base state but you can't even manage to block it with that large size of yours in release form ? You really are pathetically weak . If you're suppose to be Zero Espada, then the rest of the Espada must really suck by comparison " Ichigo arrogantly taunted the giant.
" What was that ? " Yammy asked .
" It's easy to flaunt your powers and increase your muscles but it's not going to get you anywhere if you simply can't even use high-speed movement . What's so good about having that much power when you can't even catch an enemy right on your shoulder ? That form of yours seriously limits the effectiveness of your fighting ability " Ichigo explained to Yammy as he sees him standing on his shoulder and them feels a cut on the shoulder.
" You bastard, Grimmjow is trash compared to me " Yammy shouted as he hits Ichigo with his tail knocking him down into the ground and creating a 600 foot radius " Ha, am i too slow now bitch ! You think this is my full speed you whore ? Try blocking all these punches " Yammy shouted as he throws 20 punches in 10 seconds at a downed Ichigo which is enough to easily level a city block however Ichigo gets back up with only minor wounds while blocking his punches.
" Is all the strength you got ? I survived far worse with that Chūnin with the bushy brows, hell these random Arrancar i fought were a better challenge than you " Ichigo said to Yammy as gets up without a starch and then uses Shunpo and slashes Yammy across the chest leaving a mild gash with his Bankai.
" BITCH ! " Yammy shouted as he falls down to the ground .
" This is for attacking my friends ! " Ichigo shouted as he kicks Yammy in the nose causing him to bleed from it.
" ARRGH ! My nose ! " Yammy shouted as he holds his nose with his left arm.
" This is for attacking Tatsuki ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes Yammy's tail off .
" ARRGH ! My Tail ! " Yammy shouted as he staggers in pain .
" This is for Chad ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes Yammy's right arm with ease cutting it off.
" MY ARM ! " Chad shouted as he holds on to his right arm socket
" And this is is for Orihime ! " Ichigo shouted as he covers his right hand with Reiatsu and smacks Yammy across the face knocking him to the ground cracking his jawbone.
" Bastard , I'm going to crush you ! " Yammy shouted only to see Ichigo disappear .
" This is for attacking my town ! Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō which cuts Yammy in half.
" Im... Possible ! " Yammy shouted as he falls to the ground dead from the brutal assault while Ichigo only has minor injuries.
" Chad, Orihime, Tatsuki, you've all been avenged ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" It seems your wounds from the last battle healed up pretty fast " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" I know, i think it must be Hollow Ichigo doing this ! " Ichigo stated.
" He must of been exhausted if he has yet to try to take you over " Zangetsu replied.
" He did help repair my wounds and he manifested twice, i think that there's even limits to his power !" Ichigo explained to Zangetsu.
" Maybe you should ask and interrogate the Arrancars rather than killing on sight " Zangetsu stated.
" Fine then !" Ichigo replied as he jumps upstairs from the hole Yammy left behind.
Meanwhile at the 100th Floor sector 43
The Construcción team head out to see the massive 120 foot diameter,120 foot deep hole within the area caused by Yammy's blast and they encounter Ichigo.
" More Arrancars ! " Ichigo said to them as he's still in his Bankai form .
" Where you the one who did this ? " Suku Rappa asked Ichigo.
" Yes and if you value your lives, you'll tell me where's Orihime Inoue " Ichigo answered.
" We're not telling a stranger like you anything ! " Obarodo stated only to be stabbed through the chest by Ichigo and killed off.
" You're not telling me where she's at ? " Ichigo said to the group.
" Shit, he's so fast, he killed Obarodo in a blink of an eye ! " Haitawa stated.
" I just killed an Espada and several Fracción , you guys have no prayer against me " Ichigo replied.
" We'll rather die than to tell you anything " Mikkusu Masuta said to Ichigo.
" We rather die than to talk !" Suka Benja replied.
" Do your worst ! " Rongu Hauru shouted only to be sliced to bits as well as all of them except Suku Rappa.
" You killed all my men . We were just construction workers " Suku said to Ichigo.
" So you work on building this place huh ? You subhuman abominations are a threat to the Soul Society, this fortress is a military target. I'm here to level it and kill every last ally of Aizen if that's what it takes to get Orihime back. " Ichigo explained to Suku.
" Calm down , you're going too far i'm nothing like the other Arrancar " Suku asked.
" Were you created by the Hōgyoku ? " Ichigo asked Suku.
" Yes but ... " Suku answered only to be cut off by Ichigo.
" No exceptions, you're a creation of Aizen. Aizen is pure evil, he created the Hōgyoku with the souls of thousands, Hollows are evil they eat human souls. Put two and two together and that makes all Arrancars evil minions of Aizen " Ichigo explained to Suku.
" You're a fucking racist ! " Suku shouted.
" Don't compare yourselves to humans. Humans are born , not created. Arrancars are all evil given they're all creations of Aizen. I'm not racist, i have a best friend who's Mexican, a girlfriend whose half dutch and the woman who trained me was black. You Arrancars eat souls, that's what makes you evil " Ichigo explained to Suku.
" I'm not telling you jackshit then ! " Suku stated.
" Too bad, given you said you were the one who helps build this place. You must die ! " Ichigo shouted as he cleanly decapitates Suku in fury .
" Calm down Ichigo, don't you think you are being a bit racist ? " Zangetsu asked Ichigo.
" Arrancars aren't a race , they are a creation. Hollows don't have hearts, no matter how much they resemble humans. They would never equal a human ! " Ichigo answered as he walks away from the bloodbath he caused.
" How are you going to find Orihime ? " Zangetsu asked.
" There are hundreds of Arrancars, one of them is bound to talk " Ichigo answered.
Meanwhile at the 990th Floor sector 16
Ibiki arrives heading the P.A announcements about Ichigo's rampage.
" The Construcción team and Yammy Riyalgo have been killed in action. Sector 44 heavily damaged from battle, target is confirmed. Suspect is within his teens , muscular build , age 16, 5'9 . Assailant has orange hair and brown eyes, suspect is Japanese born of possible Caucasian descent " the P.A said to the people within Las Noches as Ibiki sees Calaveras rush downstairs.
" That moron Ichigo is actually helping with the diversion needed to get Orihime out however i doubt he can last much longer . He might of killed the # 10 Espada but he can't take all of them at once " Ibiki said to herself.
Back at the 100th floor
Ichigo rushes down the halls as he looks for Orihime when he's stopped by Calaveras and Rudbornn.
" Freeze, you're under arrest ! " Rudbornn said to Ichigo.
" Please, you think fodder like you have a chance against my power ? " Ichigo asked while still in Bankai.
" Surround him and take him out ! " Rudbornn commanded as he has 101 Calaveras charge up a Cero .
" Yes sir ! " the Calaveras replied as they each fire a Cero at Ichigo .
" Kuro Tsukigata ( 黒月形 Black crescent Moon ) " Ichigo countered as he swings his sword 360 degrees to create a barrier like blast to deflect the attacks and all the Calaveras are killed off in one attack.
I 'm clearly outmatched in my current state therefore i'm going to show you my strongest ability ! Grow Árbol (Spanish for Tree) " Rudbornn chanted as he releases his full right side of Rudbornn's body becomes wrapped in branches reaching down to his waist, where they split off into roots that flare out on either of Rudbornn's sides. Four lightning bolt-shaped branches grow out of the upper part of his right arm, with skulls similar to those worn by his subordinates.
" What is this ? " Ichigo asked.
" Allow me to show you my best technique Los Guerreros Calaveras ( Spanish for Skull Warriors ) " Rudbornn said to Ichigo as he creates 10 Calaveras but the Calavera have bullhorns and spike shoulder pads with Samurai armor on their body.
" What is this ? " Ichigo asked him.
" These are Los Guerreros Calaveras ( Spanish for Skull Warriors ). The soldiers you been fighting before were all on the level of a 3rd set or Vice Captain, each of the skull warriors here are half as powerful as a Captain. Each of their swords are made especially to pierce even released Espada Hierro. I created this in case any of the Espada above me one day try to go against orders , i wonder how would a human fare without the ability to harden their skin " Rudbornn explained to Ichigo as he has his men move at 3,666.6 ft/sec (2,500 MPH) catching Ichigo off guard.
" Damn, they move much faster than the last guys ! " Ichigo said to himself as his katana is easily cut like a knife through butter with the tip chipped a bit.
" Los Guerreros Calaveras ( Spanish for Skull Warriors ) have blades that channel Reiatsu into sonicwave which allows them to do both external and internal damage , there's nothing that cut block the cutting power of their swords " Rudbornn said to Ichigo as he has his men chase after Ichigo with their blades.
Ichigo clash attacks with the 10 Los Guerreros Calaveras created by Rudbornn .Each of the skull warriors here are half as powerful as a Captain. Each of their swords are made especially to pierce even released Espada Hierro because their blades channel Reiatsu into sonicwave which allows them to do both external and internal damage , there's nothing that cut block the cutting power of their swords . They all knock back Ichigo and waste no time in going full power.
" Damn, these guys are tough ! " Ichigo said to himself .
" Take him down quickly ! " Rudbornn commanded as he has all his soldier charge up a Cero between their hands which are normal red Ceros while Rudbornn charges up a purple Cero with a razor like aura.
" This isn't good ! " Ichigo said to himself as he's about to get hit by Rudborrn's strongest attack as all the Calaveras form a circle around him.
" Fusilamiento ( Spanish for Execution Firing Squad ) " Rudbornn chanted as all the Guerreros Calaveras fire there Ceros at Ichigo with Rudbornn firing a Grand Ray Cero towards Ichigo. The explosion levels everything within a 1,200 foot radius causing 10 floors to get leveled 1,000 foot east of the hole created by Yammy.
" Phew, that was too close for comfort ! " Ichigo said to Rudbornn who's behind him .
" Impossible , he escaped my attack but how ? " Rudbornn asked as he sees 12 Ichigo's around the clones.
" Take this , Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) , within a few seconds, Ichigo slashes down all the Guerreros Calaveras .
" How is that possible ? " Rudbornn asked.
" Those afterimages work for one attack , time to die ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes down Rudbornn nearly cutting him in half.
" Damn it ! " Rudbornn shouted as he falls to the ground only to get stabbed by Ichigo again.
" Farewell Meigetsu (明月, Harvest Moon) " Ichigo shouted as he fires a Getsuga Tenshō through Rudbornn killing him instantly and blasting a 2 foot diameter 1,000 foot deep hole through the ground.
Ichigo then returns to his Shikai state slightly worn out .
Meanwhile at Harribel's Palace
Harribel hears the news of what's going on.
" This is bad ! " Harribel said to the team.
" Lilynette wasn't too far from where the attacks happened ! " Starrk stated.
" We got to save her as well as Sheelal and Rey quickly ! " Harribel replied.
" What about us ? What if that monster Shinigami comes here of all places ? " Mila asked nervous.
" Run away as fast as possible , you stand no chance against a man who defeated both an Espada and the Captain of Exequias " Harribel answered.
" Is he really that powerful ? " Apache asked.
" I don't think any of the Espadas 5 to 10 can handle him " Harribel answered as both her and Starrk rush to save Lilynette from Ichigo as well as Sheeal and Rey.

Grimmjow hears the news of Yammy dying and Ichigo's progress through Las Noches.
" So Kurosaki defeated Yammy ? He's improved alot since i first met him " Grimmjow said to himself as he goes into flashback.
3 weeks ago
Grimmjow' s pov
I remember the whole journey to here was for the simple purpose of killing you and cleaning up anyone who was a threat to the Arrancars. We gathered at Karakura Town 100 meters above the city on September 7 ,2001 7:55 P.M. My worthless Fracción, Shawlong Kūfang , Edrad Liones , Nakeem Grindina , Yylfordt Granz and Di Roy Linker came out of the Garganta .
" Just as i thought, so they did call backup from the Soul Society . Did anyone see you leave Hueco Mundo ? " i inquired Shawlong.
" Of course not Grimmjow ! " Shawlong answered.
" What ? " i asked.
" I felt several strong Reiatsu on the way here. That doesn't register with Ulquiorra's intel " Shawlong stated to me.
" Whatever , that retard was never really useful ! Start a full-blown search. Shawlong , Edrad, Nakeem , Yylfordt and Di Roy , let's destroy this area, kill everything that moves " i stated with a menacing tone.
" Right ! " all the other Arrancars replied.
It less than 5 minutes, Di Roy was killed by some Shinigami bitch with a fine ass which had Reiatsu on par with a Vice Captain and then there was you Ichigo. I decided to give you my special greeting.
" Which one of you is stronger ? " i asked the both of you.
" Run ! Run away Ichigo ! " that fine black-haired bitch said to you but then i impaled her between the stomach and heart .
" I figured it wasn't you ! " i said to the poor dead bitch as i dropped her to the ground, said to see such a fine ass die .
Then you came at me with your pathetic excuse of a sword which looked like a meat cleaver without a handle but it was so weak that i causally deflected it with my pinky and launched you 300 feet in the air.
" What the hell ? How did you do that ? " you asked me.
" Quit yankin' my chain bitch ! " i said to you .
" Damn it ! " you shouted.
" Come on, turn Bankai, i don't want to waste time fighting you at this pathetic little state of yours " i taunted you while that Gigai was tending to your fatally injured friend.
" Are you okay Rukia ? " that doll asked the fallen Shinigami.
" Do it or i will punch you full of holes like i did to your fine bitch and then have a little fun with her if you know what i mean " i stated with a fanatical tone and sadistic smile.
" YOU BASTARD ! You will pay for what you did with Rukia ! " you replied with anger consuming you as you puts your two hands on your Shikai and then releases enough Reiatsu to engulf a city block in a blue Reiatsu " BANKAI " you shouted as your robe is replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat with red lining that is closed at chest, you sword actually shrunk from 1.75 meters to a Daitō (大東 Japanese long sword) with a black blade instead " Tensa Zangetsu(天鎖斬月, Heaven Chain Slaying Moon) " you shouted as you came at me with pure rage in your eyes .
You moved to attack me with your Bankai but you were so slow that i easily stepped out of the way and your sword was so weak that i was able to catch that twig with me bare hand. I then used it as leverage to throw you a great distance by kicking you in the stomach causing you to cough up blood and then sending you flying across a mile north from your house in the suburbs through a streetlight in downtown Karakura town and created a 30 foot diameter 10 foot deep crater from your violent fall. i then danced in the air and then comes down at 1,508.6 feet per second(1,028.6 MPH) then once close to you , i dashed at 4,525.8 feet per second(3,058 MPH) with a dashing punch but you managed to block the punch but i landed a kick on your face and send you flying 100 feet.
I then walked towards you and then grabbed you and the proceeded to punch you over 100 times, it was fun pounding that dumb ugly face of yours then launched you into the air and kneed you in the back of the head to knock you down.
" God you suck, is that all your Bankai gives you, a meager speed increase? You're a serious disappointment " i arrogantly mocked as i looked at you disappointed that you barely put up a fight however you surprised me with your attack.
" Getsuga Tenshō (月牙天衝, Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer )" you shouted as you launches a powerful blast in the form of a crescent moon and you hit me head on . I managed to block the attack but you still left me with a large burn on my chest and a massive cut extending from my right thigh to my left shoulder as well a cut on both of my wrists and the left side of my pants and however you struggled to catch your breath and was out of your own Reiatsu .
" What the fucking hell was that ? Ulquiorra never told me about that technique Shinigami " i asked you.
" Am i still disappointing you Arrancar ? " you asked me with a grin on your face.
Suddenly your Inner Hollow Ichigo tried to take over your body.
" Leave me alone ! " you shouted as you struggled to control your Inner Hollow.
" Hey Shinigami , Don't tell me your already at your limit ? And just when you were actually worth killing, now it's my turn try to maintain that form for a bit longer so i can enjoy killing you " i stated as i pulled out my Zanpakutō. Before i could release, i was interrupted by Kaname Tōusen " What the fuck are you doing here Tōusen ? " i asked as he looked with a shocked and angry look on my face.
" Sheathe your sword, Grimmjow ! " Tōusen commanded with a calm , stoic look on his face. i was forced to sheathe my sword back in it's holder and looked at Tōusen.
" Why the holy fucking hell are you here ? " i asked with an annoyed look on my face.
" You know why i'm here You take it upon yourself to invade the real world, you mobilized five Arrancars and then lose them all in are in violation of your orders, Aizen is furious ! Grimmjow come ,your punishment will be decided in Hueco Mundo " Tōsen stated with a commanding harsh threatening tone as he opens up a Garganta to Hueco Mundo.
" Whatever, blow it out your ass you gay ass cocksucking hypocrite " i replied as i spit at Tōusen's face.
" You are so going to pay for that ! " Tōusen said with slightly anger in his voice as i walked away with Tōusen .
" We're you going ? " you asked with anger.
" Shut the fuck up, we're going back... to Hueco Mundo " i answered.
" Fuck You , you come here, attack us and just leave on a whim ? " you stated with anger in my tone " STOP FUCKING AROUND AND GET BACK HERE! " you shouted with fury.
" Gimme a break! You're lucky he came, i can tell just looking at you that move of yours you hit me with damages your soul. You could only handle two or three more of those attacks but even if you use over 100,000 of those attacks, it's irrelevant against my released form " i gloated.
" Released form ? " you asked with shock.
" That's right, this Zanpakutō isn't just for looks . You can barely cut me while i'm in base form. Don't forget it, just pray you never hear this name again , Grimmjow Jaegerjacks the sexta (6th) Espada. Next time you see this face and hear this name, it would the last thing you ever heard !" i stated before returning to Hueco Mundo .
Present Day
" Hopefully you can prove to be a real challenge this time around ! " Grimmjow said to himself.
Meanwhile at Sector # 35 Floor 235
Nnoitra rushes to fight Ichigo with his Fracción Tesra with him .
" So this Shinigami Ichigo killed Yammy off ? " Nnoitra said to Tesra.
" Yes master Nnoitra ! " Tesra answered.
" He just might be worth fighting after all ! " Nnoitra stated as he rushes downstairs to fight Ichigo.
Meanwhile within the #644 elevator of Las Noches
Skullak gets the news that Ichigo has killed Rudbornn , his best friend.
" Leader of Exequias has been confirmed dead , massive damage to sector 44 of Las Noches " the P.A. said to the base.
" No, not Rudbornn too ! " Skullak said to himself as he clenches his fist thinking about the past when Ulquiorra walks into the elevator while they are at the 390th floor .
" What are you doing ? " Ulquiorra asked Skullak.
" I'm heading up to get Orihime ! " Skullak answered with a mad look on his face.
" I was going to deal with the Shinigami myself ! " Ulquiorra stated only to be grabbed by Skullak.
" I need you to help gather all of the currently slain Arrancars and get them for me , after that, we'll deal with him " Skullak replied.
" Fine then ! " Ulquiorra responded as he gets off the elevator and goes to gather the dead.
Meanwhile at the 990th Floor , Sector 16
Ibiki walks down the hall getting closer to Orihime as she goes to the stairway to climb up to the dome of Las Noches when she's stopped by a Bala which almost hits her.
" What the hell ? " Ibiki said to the attacker who is then revealed to be Ranpeji.
" Looks like i found you at last you bitch ! " Ranpeji said to Ibiki.
" You again, what are you doing here ? " Ibiki asked him.
" I told you, i came here to avenge Buroru, and that's what i plan to do " Ranpeji answered as he pulls out his he comes at Ibiki with his steel whips.
" I have no time to fight you ! " Ibiki replied as she dodges the whip which puts a hole within the nearby wall.
" Come on Luna fight me ! " Ranpeji shouted as he swings his whips around which dodges the whips and blocks the attack with her Zanpakutō.
" I guess i have no choice but to fight you so you can join your friend " Ibiki replied as she gets serious and goes to attack Ranpeji with a series of sword strikes however Ranpeji swings his whip smashing Ibiki at the cheekbone which causes the fake jawbone to collapse.
" What the hell ? " Ranpeji said to Ibiki.
" Ah shit ! " Ibiki said to herself .
" YOU'RE NOT AN ARRANCAR ! " Ranpeji shouted as he stares at Ibiki shocked at what he sees.
" What are you talking about ? " Ibiki asked him trying to play it off.
" No Arrancar can survive having their fragments broken , you must be a Shinigami spy " Ranpeji shouted as he looks at her.
" Damn, he saw through me ! " Ibiki said to herself as she sees Ranpeji get serious.
" I'm going to kill you even more so than ever Stomp Down Martillo Neumático ( Spanish for Jackhammer) " Ranpeji chanted as his legs fuse together and take the form a jackhammer, while long and thick whips come out his wrist. He also gains a metal helmet and armor over his upper body too
" This isn't good ! " Ibiki said to herself as Ranpeji goes for an attack.
" Now time to die ! " Ranpeji shouted as he goes to kick Ibiki with both legs for a dropkick , but the Shinigami dodges the attack and watches it easily smash through walls.
" He's pretty strong ! " Ibiki said to herself only to Rapneji using hsi legs to move faster using the vibration of the jackhammer legs.
" Take this ! " Ranpeji shouted as he fires a massive shockwave from his right leg which Ibiki dodges which easily blasts through 10 walls and leaves a 10 foot diameter hole in the wall.
" He's fast as well ! " Ibiki said to herself as she see Ranpeji refuses his legs.
" You're wondering what's going on huh ? That's the speed and vibration of my Martillo Neumático ( Spanish for Jackhammer) . The drills move so fast , it' allows me to produce a shockwave from them however using my control of Reiatsu, i can also fire these shockwaves in the form of energy blasts towards you .Even my whips can do that " Ranpeji explained to Ibiki as he swings his whips and they unleash a shockwave which chop down two large pillars with ease and push Ibiki back a bit despite her blocking the wave.
" Shit ! " Ibiki shouted.
" Take this ! " Ranpeji shouted as he does a series of powerful kicks with his jackhammer legs which Ibiki barely blocks as she's hit 56 times by the attacks then knocked away.
" Damn it , he's too fast to evade ! " Ibiki said to herself only to see Ranpeji jump up with both legs fused together.
" Take this ! " Ranpeji shouted as he hits the ground smashing through Ibiki with his jackhammer legs however it was an afterimage. Ibiki is revealed holding her stomach behind Ranpeji.
" Looks like i can't let you live for finding out my secret , time to kill you Whisper Shizuka Kazeshibō (静かSilent Wind Death ) " Chokorēto chanted as her sealed Zanpakutō turns into a black fan with blades on each end of the fan releasing Reiatsu engulfing everything within a 50 foot radius in a whirlwind.
" I see, you really are a Shinigami ? " Ranpeji asked Ibiki .
" Allow me to show you the full power of my Zanpakutō " Ibiki replied as she then goes for her attack " Museidoku ( 無声毒 Silent Poison ) " Ibiki chanted as she releases a nearly invisible poison mist that looks like wind waves which Ranpeji dodges. Ibiki dispels the mist dome.
" What the hell is that weak attack ? " Ranpeji asked as he stares at Ibiki.
" I've only got started ! " Ibiki answered as she charges at Ranpeji and they both clash attacks with each other.
" Take this ! " Ranpeji as he fires a shockwave blast from his left foot towards Ibiki causing a 200 foot radius shockwave but Ibiki uses Shunpo to move at 4,693.3 ft/sec (3,200 MPH ) behind Ranpeji.
" Odorusori (踊るそりDancing Razor ) " Chokorēto chanted as she spins her fan creating razor winds , Ranpeji barely dodges the strike then uses Sonído to move at 1,173.3 ft/sec ( 800 MPH)
" Take this ! " Ranpeji shouted as he uses a strong whip slash but Ibiki effortlessly dodges the attack.
" Too slow !Kazaguruma (風車, "Windmill") " Ibiki chanted as she kicks Ranpeji with a devastating kick through 8 walls 660 feet away.
" Did she get faster ? I don't recall her being this past " Ranpeji asked himself as Ibiki appears right in front of him and goes to attack him head on.
" Sukai Jōbikiru ( 天上部切る Sky Uppercut ) " Ibiki chanted as she hits Ranpeji into the air then appears above him and kicks him into the ground again.
" Damn it ! " Ranpeji shouted .
" Muonautā Fūsokuyari (無音アウター風速やり Silent Kill Wind Spears ) " Ibiki chanted as she generates 10 nearly invisible wind spears to surround Ranpeji but uses Shunshin to barely evade them. Ibiki then appears right in front of Ranpeji.
" Shit ! " Ranpeji shouted as he kicks the ground releasing a shockwave but Ibiki easily evades it .
" You're moving too slow ! " Ibiki said to Ranpeji.
" I don't get it, how could she have gotten so fast ? " Ranpeji asked Ibiki only for Ibiki to appear to do a finishing blow to Ranpeji.
" You're done for ! " Ibiki chanted as she goes to cut Ranpeji.
" Take this ! " Ranpeji shouted as he hits Ibiki directly in the face with the whips but the attacks have no effect.
" What the hell was that ? " Ibiki asked.
" What ? Impossible, i hit your directly with both whips ! " Ranpeji said shocked to see the whip having no effect.
" Looks like Museidoku ( 無声毒 Silent Poison ) has taken it's effect " Ibiki said to Ranpeji.
" What ? " Ranpeji asked.
" Museidoku ( 無声毒 Silent Poison ) , is a colorless , odorless gas that weakens the muscles in your body, decreasing your speed and power drastically until your muscles collapse and you can't move anymore " Ibiki explained to Ranpeji.
" Damn it ! " Ranpeji replied.
" I must say, the poison had a delayed effect, it was suppose to paralyze you right now but your pretty tough however how long you think you can last against the poison . Right now your 4 times weaker than me " Ibiki explained to Ranpeji .
" Damn you ! " Ranpeji as he gathers Reiatsu around his feet and dashes at 469.3 ft/sec (320 MPH ) but Ibiki easily avoids the attack and appears behind Ranpeji.
" Now your 8 times weaker than me and only 3rd seat level . Soon you would be paralyzed and unable to move " Ibiki replied as she kicks him through more walls. Ranpeji gets back up and uses his Reiatsu to try breaking the poison.
" Take this ! " Ranpeji shouted as he fires a massive Cero from his mouth which lightly burns Ibiki and he was able to break the poison temporarily.
" What the hell ? " Ibiki asked.
" You think i can't resist huh ? It might not of been as strong as it was but it was still strong to burn you a bit , time to stop holding back " Ranpeji answered as he jumps into the air and spins around.
" What is he doing ? " Ibiki asked herself.
" This is my strongest attack Perforación el Ciclón ( Spanish for Drilling Cyclone ), no one had survived this attack " Ranpeji shouted as he spins around with his body glowing red and he comes at Ibiki like a Cero.
" Museifūha(無声風刃 Silent Wind Blade ) " Ibiki chanted as she generates wind around her blade and her blade glows blueish white and she fires a powerful horizontal slash that cuts down everything within a 500 foot radius.
The blast clears up to reveal that Ranpeji has been cut down and Ibiki is mildly injured from the battle with her Arrancar disguised almost completely destroyed.
" Damn it, i can't even use Sonído . My body took a bad beating as well , i need more time to.. " Ranpeji said to himself as he struggles to get back up. Ibiki steps on his back and grabs him
"I must admire you for managing to briefly break out of my poison mist and used such a strong attack even with diminished strength however you can't even move. I would end this quickly by lobbing your head off " Ibiki said to Ranpeji.
" No ! Please don't ! " Ranpeji said with tears in his eyes.
" Too bad! Don't worry with your muscles stun you won't feel any pain! " Ibiki replied as she snaps his neck with her barehands and kills him.
Meanwhile Burak , Saido and Sukorupo have been watching the whole time as see Ibiki go up to the rooftop.
" I can't believe all this time she was a Shinigami ! " Burak said to the team.
" I feel betrayed, she didn't come off as a Shinigami ! " Saido stated.
" She's too nice for that ! " Sukorupo replied.
" We stand no chance against her , it's best we just pretend we never saw her " Saido responded as they leave.
Aaroniero Arruruerie's Palace
7:30 P.M. Ichigo walks out to the sandlot of Las Noches, a 3 mile long desert like area which is below the dome of Las Noches. Ichigo is within the western end of the sandlot walking across a 2,000 foot long bridge which leads to the 50th floor of a 1,000 foot high, 200 foot wide and long building. Ichigo notices that the sandlot has a sky and a sun.
" What the hell ? A Blue sky . How can there be a sky within a building ? And more importantly how the hell is there a sun ? Oh well hopefully Orihime is in that building " Ichigo said to himself only to see 20 Calaveras chasing after him .
" That's the bastard who killed Rudbornn , get that guy " the Calaveras shouted as they chase after Ichigo who is worn out a bit .
" I don't have time to waste with them ! " Ichigo shouted as he cuts down the bridge and rushes into the building but the Calaveras use airwalking to scale back up and pursue Ichigo inside the building .
" Get him ! " the Calaveras shouted as they come at Ichigo .
" Damn it, that battle with their leader really worn me out ! " Ichigo said to himself as he goes to draw his Shikai only to see them all killed off with a series of fast slashes.
" Well, i wasn't expecting more company around here " said a mysterious voice as he reveals himself.
The mysterious voice belongs to a young man with aqua green eyes and spiky raven black hair. He's wearing the normal uniform with his lieutenant badge on his left arm as customary. He had a tattoo of the Shiba family crest on his arm.
" Who are you and why the hell you look like me ? More importantly is that a Lieutenant's badge from Rukia's Squad ? " Ichigo asked the mysterious stranger.
" Rukia ? How do you know that name, who are you ? " the man asked Ichigo.
" I'm Kaien Shiba , nice to meet you ! " Kaien answered shocking Ichigo.
" Impossible, Rukia and Kukaku told me the story about you . You died 40 years ago " Ichigo stated.
" 40 years ? Boy time passes by fast, here in Las Noches, there's no real way of telling time " Kaien replied.
" Rukia and Kukaku told me about you and said i looked like you, i can see the resemblance now " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" So you know my sister and my close friend ? And the face you look like a distant cousin , it's very fuzzy but i believe that you might be related to me somehow what is your name ? " the Shinigami asked Ichigo.
" Ichigo Kurosaki, substitute Soul Reaper !" Ichigo answered.
" Kurosaki huh ? My memory is fuzzy , i could've sworn that you were part of the Shiba Clan given you're Reiryoku is similar to my own . I remember that among the clan that my uncle was one of the strongest Shinigami to ever live was born and was the only one to ever used the Third Release of a Zanpakutō and was once Captain of Squad 10 and have trained even Byakuya Kuchiki " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" What ? I don't know anyone in my family that can do that. My Dad can't even see spirits let alone be part of the Shiba Clan " Ichigo stated.
" I see , so you can't possibly be related to the Shiba Clan if you're a substitute Shinigami and your father was a human, still how is it that you have Captain Level Reiatsu ? No human i ever met that somehow gained powers either by accident or by reckless Shinigami powers have ever gained past a 3rd seats strength let alone a Captain " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" So how are you still alive ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" Have this bread and sit down, i have a million things to tell you and i bet you need to tell me something as well " Kaien answered as he hands Ichigo some bread.
" Okay ! " Ichigo replied.
" That night when my spirit began to crumble at that battle i had when the Hollow took me over and Rukia was forced to kill me, Rukia took me to the Shiba House to inform them of my death . During that time of death, my spirit shattered. Rather than dying and being reincarnated with none of my memories like any Shinigami was, i was thrown into Hueco Mundo instead " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" Wait but that still doesn't explain how you're within the form of a Shinigami now " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" That Hollow was one of Aizen's experiment with the Hōgyoku. Everything it was destroyed, it would just return back to Hueco Mundo and Regenerate . It was a pretty effective trick, however since the hollow had fused with me, the regeneration restored my body to it's physical prime . I struggled with my inner Hollow but in the end i won and took control of the form you see here " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" How did you get through all that ? " Ichigo asked him.
" Well if my guess is corrected , i was simply too powerful in mind , body and soul to be enslaved by some hollow " Kaien answered with an arrogant gloat.
" Aren't you the arrogant one ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" You're the one to talk, what kind of moron would charge in head first to a battlefield where they have zero clue where to go ? " Kaien answered.
" I did it to save Rukia i gotten stronger since then. I'm stronger than a Captain, therefore i should be even stronger than the Espadas by default " Ichigo arrogantly stated.
" So you saved Rukia ? " Kaien asked Ichigo.
" Yes but we'll talk more on that later, why are you still here ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" Simple, i'm here for revenge just like you. I wish to get stronger so i can take Aizen's head for ruining my life . Aizen still believes that i'm under his control and that i 'm his tool. I even joined the Espadas in order to assist in the revenge plot. When i heard that a fellow Shinigami was coming by, i thought it would be a good idea to dress back in my old Lieutenant gear so they don't try to kill me " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" How did you become a Espada ? Don't you need to be at least Captain level in power ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" Yeah, however i can tell you're not an ordinary Shinigami either. Like you, i have an inner Hollow and like you i've surpassed the limits of my rank. I'm on par with at least a Shinigami Captain however i lack the skill or versatility needed to rise up to the ranks of the Espada so i'm only 9th " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" What's with the sun in the sky as well as the sky ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" That blue sky is the dome of Las Noches , created by Aizen. That light you see that you confuse as the sun allows Aizen to observe anywhere he chooses . The dome alone is 6 miles in diameter. At the bottom of the dome is the sandlot where hundreds of thousands of hollows are at . All Espadas have skyscraper sized buildings exclusive to themselves and their Fracción whereas the Números and imperfect Arrancars inhabit the surrounding interior walls which encircle the rest of Las Noches. Each of the walls around the sandlot are 6 miles wide and long and make up of 50 sectors " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" Why would Aizen make such a huge palace ? " Ichigo asked.
" His ego is as big as this mountain sized palace and this place is as large as Mitre Peak " Kaien stated.
" What ? " Ichigo asked.
" The mountain within Karakoram, Pakistan ! " Kaien replied.
" You've been to Pakistan before ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" Yep, when i graduated from the academy 115 years ago and drafted as Ukitake's 3rd seat, my first mission was within Mt Karakoram back when it was still a colony of britain. That was when i unlocked my Shikai by slaying down my first Adjuchas and that was where i would meet my soon to be wife " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" I see, i haven't been anywhere but within Karakura Town " Ichigo stated.
" Right i forget that you've recently gained our powers so you haven't seen the world like a real Shinigami has " Kaien answered.
" I been dying to ask this question but haven't had the time to answer it , how can the Soul Society protect 6 billion people with only 6,000 Shinigami ? " Ichigo questioned the former Shiba member.
" You're so naïve , you really think the Gotei 13 is the only part of the USAFL ? " Kaien asked Ichigo.
" USAFL ? " Ichigo asked.
" Yamamoto isn't the only Captain Commander either. Allow me to briefly explain a bit of history to you. The Gotei 13 is just one part of the United Shinigami Armed Forces league. The North Aijano branch just happen to be the most powerful branch of all Gotei 13 organizations " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" North Aijano ? " Ichigo questioned the former Vice Captain.
" North Aijano is one of the 7 great nations within the Soul Society, as you can tell, it's heavily influenced by asian culture, primary Japanese and Chinese culture. There is so little that you know about the Soul Society itself and everything but i rather explain the military organization structure instead of boring you with a history lesson " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" Fine, i'm listening ! " Ichigo replied.
" The Gotei 13 that you're familiar with already are part of 6 branches within the Teien 7 . The Tenien 7( 庭園 The Garden Seven) are Seven Gotei 13 like sects within each continent with an army as large as the Gotei 13 with 13 Captains and Vice Captains of their own with each leading 6,000 active troops . In short, it's a joint organization of 91 Captains and 91 Vice Captains led by 7 Captain Commanders in total there are 42,000 active troops that serve to protect the Soul Society from extreme threats to the security of the people within that world " Kaien explained to the Substitute Shinigami .
" What about the world of the living ? How can you protect the Soul Society and the World of the living at the same time ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" Around the last 100 years, the Soul Society struggled with that problem. Around the second human World War, we had the Shugo 60 to sort out and take care of normal hollows, they upgraded to the Shugo 130 , 21 years ago to response to the growing population " Kaien answered.
" Shugo ? " Ichigo asked.
" The Shugo 130( 守護 The Guardian 130 ) are 130 local armies with each having 1,200 Shinigami protecting a country led by seated officer level Shinigami in the Gotei per country. They serve under the Gotei 13 and are meant to protect the humans from normal Hollows and are basically Shinigami who are not assigned to a squad and recently graduated from the academy. In total , there are 198,156 Shinigami protecting the world " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" What about Rukia ? Was she part of Shugo ? " Ichigo asked.
" Nope, those who have potential to grow to seated officers are accepted into the Gotei 13 and rise up the ranks to become Vice Captains and Captains one day. Those who are only destined to be average Shinigami for the rest of their lives and never have the potential to unlock Shikai are drafted to the Shugo 130 " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" So what was Rukia doing within Karakura Town months ago ? " Ichigo asked.
" She was assigned to a C rank mission to lead the Shugo Shinigami within Japan and then you know the rest. After all Espada have been briefed about you and we know everything thanks to Aizen " Kaien stated.
" What does Aizen want with me ? " Ichigo questioned the former Vice Captain.
" I don't know the details but then again it won't matter because soon i'll gather enough power to kill him one day " Kaien answered.
" Aizen is too strong, even i can't take him on yet " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" I know but i must do it, that bastard took away my wife and she was killed by the Hollow who took my body " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" I see ! Still, why not sneak out of here ? " Ichigo replied.
" I can't leave here yet, i would barely make it out of this city sized palace alive and besides even if i did, they would hunt down and kill Kukaku and Ganju and i can't put them through that " Kaien stated.
" Well it never hurts having someone as strong as you fighting on my side, how about we join forces and waste these Hollow scumbag ? Together we could kill most of the Espadas off alone " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" I see , first i need to test how strong you are before anything ! " Kaien stated.
" Very well then ! " Ichigo replied as he draws out his sword.
" How gullible , he's buying into my trap. There's no way he could still have so much energy after fighting several dozen Números, Calaveras and Rudbornn, not to mention Yammy . I shall pretend to spar with him and only then would i steal that body of his " Aaroniero said to himself.
" Bring it ! " Ichigo said to Kaien as he then sees Kaien above him with two hands on his sealed sword.
" Take this ! " Kaien said to Ichigo as he uses his sword strike to hit Ichigo but Ichigo easily blocks against it with one hand.
" You got to do better than that ! " Ichigo replied as he pushes back Kaien's sealed sword back with his Shikai.
" Whoa, that sealed sword of yours is stronger than i thought it was " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" This is my Zangetsu, it's in Shikai state ! " Ichigo stated.
" So you have a constant release Shikai ? I thought that ugly blade of yours was your sealed sword. I must say, it's not that impressive looking " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" What was that , like a Vice Captain has a better looking Shikai " Ichigo arrogantly stated.
" Well i do at least, allow me to show your my Shikai .Rankle the Seas and the Skies Nejibana (捩花, Twisted Flower)" Kaien chanted as he holds his sealed sword upside down and begins to twirl it in his hands as it glows, transforming into a cross between a trident and a ji (a Chinese halberd) with a crystalline appearance. Like the ji, it bears a horsehair tassel, although it is blue instead of the traditional red; similarly the two side blades are straight with concave edges as opposed to the usual crescent blade. The end of Nejibana turns into a corkscrew/drill shape. Water flows freely from both the trident and the end.
" Whoa , what an incredible weapon ! " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" Still think that clunky blade holds up to my Nejibana's beauty ? " Kaien asked Ichigo as he shows off spear techniques reminiscent of a dance using one wrist as the center of rotation while using constantly flowing water with every arc and slash, and each crushing blow creates large waves.
" What is this ? What an impressive amount of speed and skill. He's far above Renji and Renji was tough " Ichigo said to himself.
" Here i come Ichigo ! " Kaien shouted as he swings his Shikai which Ichigo dodges which almost hit Ichigo with a torrent of water.
" He's fast ! " Ichigo said to himself only to see a vertical downwards swing come towards him but Ichigo blocks with two hands on his Shikai and he struggles to hold back the strike.
" Not bad Ichigo, but let's see how well you do with two hands on this blade " Kaien stated as he puts more pressure on Ichigo which has the ground weigh down from the pressure.
" Not good enough ! " Ichigo replied as he glows with blue Reiatsu and pushes back Kaien's attack which creates a wave of Reiatsu and water canceling out both attacks.
" Not bad, you have alot of strength to blow a direct blow from my Nejibana . Most Vice Captains i know couldn't handle a direct strike like that and overpower it with sheer brute force . Even with fighting two Espada level Arrancar and numerous other Arrancars, you still have the strength to contend with my Shikai . You are really something Ichigo " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" Enough talk ,let's resume ! " Ichigo replied as he continues to clash with Kaien.
Kaien goes for a clockwise horizontal slash but Ichigo manages to block the blow with his Shikai and swings his Zangetsu by the cloth and almost hits Kaien with the blade but Kaien dodges the attack and it punches a small 3 foot diameter hole 10 feet of Kaien revealing some sunlight.
" Not a bad trick but it's not good enough ! " Kaien said to Ichigo only to notice sunlight and see Kaien move away.
" Why did he run away just now ? I was open when i swung Zangetsu like a flail. If he was fighting me seriously, he could of hit me off guard and won the fight " Ichigo said to himself.
" What's wrong Ichigo ? " Kaien asked Ichigo.
" I know your game ! " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" Shit , don't tell me he figured out my weakness ! " Kaien said to himself .
" You're holding back on me , there's no way you could be this weak in Shikai if you have fused with your Hollow powers " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" What are you talking about ? " Kaien asked Ichigo.
" I fought a Vice Captain who has been Hollowfied and she was able to force me into Bankai with just a sealed sword, you're obviously holding back your true strength. At this rate, even Rukia or Renji with Shikai could beat you " Ichigo explained to Kaien.
" You gotta be kidding me , i've been giving it my all so far . He's blocked every blow i dished out, how is it possible at his weakened state that he could still be this monstrously strong ? " Kaien said to himself.
" Now it's my turn to force you into being serious ! " Ichigo stated as he dashes towards Kaien .
" Damn it ! " Kaien said to himself as he's pushed back by the force of Ichigo's Zangetsu.
" Come on, fight me for real ! " Ichigo shouted as he swings his blade which pushes Kaien's Shikai back .
" I guess i have no choice but to be serious then , Hado # 33 Sokatsui " Kaien chanted as he fires a blast towards Ichigo but Ichigo cuts the blast in half.
" That's child's play ! " Ichigo stated as he does a series of 30 fast stabs which Kaien is forced to block against in Shikai.
" I don't get it, this guy has no real skill yet he's pushing me back. The speed and power of his Shikai is much greater than expected. I'll need to weaken him alot more to take his body " Kaien said to himself as he then sees Ichigo graze his right check with his Shikai.
" Ready for round 2 ? I haven't even got started yet " Ichigo said to Kaien .
" Very well then ! " Kaien answered as he gets serious and uses Shunpo to appear behind Ichigo and almost slash Ichigo across the back pushing him back .
" Damn, his speed increased ! " Ichigo said to himself as he barely dodges a stab to the face which cuts a few strains of hair.
" What's wrong Ichigo can't keep up ? " Kaien asked Ichigo as he kicks Ichigo in the stomach and smashes him into a wall.
" He's tough, i can see how he's related to Kukaku. That blow really hurt " Ichigo said to himself as he then sees Kaien come at him.
" Take this ,Hadō# 54 Haien (廃炎, Abolishing Flames) " Kaien chanted as he fires a purple fireball at Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the blast.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he jumps into the air and goes to cut Kaien but Kaien blocks with one hand and pushes Ichigo back.
" Come on Ichigo, you got to come at me like you intend to kill me " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" But i don't want to kill you. Kukaku won't be too happy to know that you were still alive and i killed you " Ichigo replied.
" Well, you can't expect to beat me if that's all you got, you pale in comparison to my skills " Kaien said to Ichigo as he comes at Ichigo with more power and speed.
" Here he comes ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" You got nice reflexes but let's see how fast are they against this attack " Kaien stated as he does a series of fury lunges moving at 3 stabs per second for 6 seconds but Ichigo blocks them all with his Shikai as he is pushed back a bit from the force of the stabs.
" Got you ! " Ichigo as he goes to punch Kaien in the face with his right hand but Kaien dodges and jumps onto a wall and then jumps down for a diving strike with his trident following with a wave of water.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he dodges the wave of water and the strike. Kaien then uses Shunpo to be behind Ichigo.
" Try stopping this strike ! " Kaien replied as he hits Ichigo with a left roundhouse kick knocking Ichigo 100 feet into a wall.
" Not a bad but that isn't going to be enough to beat me ! " Ichigo stated.
" Not bad Ichigo but try dodging this attack Seigiame ( 正義雨 Rain of Justice ) " Kaien chanted as he fires 10 kunai like blasts of water at Ichigo but Ichigo blocks them with his Shikai only to see the raven haired Shinigami jump 50 feet high and do a lunging stab which the Substitute Shinigami blocks with his cleaver blade however he's being pushed down by the overwhelming force of Nejibana.
" I can't hold back his attack ! " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to hold back the attack but is forced to Shunpo to escape the attack.
" Take this Kaiōhōkō ( 海王咆哮Roar of the Sea King )" Kaien chanted as he fires a powerful water blast towards Ichigo but Ichigo dodges it.
" You got to do better than that ! " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" Then try this attack for size Yabukōji (薮柑子, Spearflower) " Kaien chanted as he holds Nejibana as if he is ready to thrust it forward while a ball of water forms within the tips which have a spiral effect .
" Now that's more like it ! " Ichigo said to Kaien.
" Careful what you wish for Ichigo, this attack carries great force and is a quick method of breaking through an Arrancar's Hierro due to its precise aim. I'll try not to kill you but it's going to hurt like hell if you are hit by it " Kaien explained to Ichigo.
" Then i'll counter with this ! " Ichigo replied as Ichigo glows with blue Reiatsu and his eyes glow blue and Ichigo puts two hands on his blade.
" Impressive Reiatsu but let's see if it can stop this ! " Kaien shouted as he quickly gives his trident a spin as he thrusts it forward to form a spiraling water blast towards Ichigo.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he swings his Shikai like a baseball bat firing the wave as it collides with the water wave.
" His Getsuga is as strong as my Yabukōji ! " Kaien said to himself as he grows the blast to the size of his body.
" What power ! " Ichigo stated as his Getsuga Tenshō grows to the length of Ichigo's body.
" I can't overpower him ! " Kaien said to himself as his Yabukōji grows as big as the Getsuga .
Both attacks causes the skyscraper palace below to shake violently from the attacks . After 30 seconds a large explosion occurs which causes the tower to shake. The explosion clears up from the inside to reveal that the tower has a 30 foot diameter hole going from the 50th floor to the 52th floor . Kaien then notices the light touching his body and he feels his skin burning.
" ARRROOOOOOOOAARRGH ! " Kaien shouted.
" Shit ! I didn't mean to use that much power ! " Ichigo shouted as he looks at Kaien's face melt only to see the true identity of Kaien.
" Damn it , you shouldn't have taunted him to use his attack ! " the female voice of Aaroniero said to the male one.
" It was working well until you started nagging ! " the male voice replied.
" Who the hell are you ? " Ichigo asked Aaroniero .
" I guess it's no use lying to you. Allow me to reintroduce myself then " the male voice of Aaroniero said to Ichigo.
" We are the Noveno Espada Aaroniero Arruruerie ! " they both answered.
" What's going on ? " Ichigo shouted.
" When you blasted the wall, you negated our transformation power and we were forced into our true form " the female voice said to Ichigo.
" So you tricked me all this time ? " Ichigo asked them.
" We were planning to wear you down so once you ran out of Reiatsu, we can take your body " the male voice answered.
" Not quite , this isn't a transformation ability ! " the male voice answered as he uses Sonído to go into the shadows and return to his Kaien form .
" What are you talking about ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" I'm the only Gillian out of all the Espada ! " Kaieniro said to Ichigo.
" So , what's your point ? " Ichigo asked him.
" You're aware that in general , no Gillain would be powerful enough to join the ranks of the Espada. Only fully developed Adjuchas can be an Espada and yet here i am, bestowed with the number #9 . Do you know why ? " Kaieniro asked Ichigo back.
" Why ? " Ichigo questioned the Arrancar.
" Out of every single Arrancar in existence, i'm the only one who has the infinite ability to evolve . When Metastacia died, crumbled and returned to Hueco Mundo to reform , i fed upon it and absorbed it's power back when i was merely a Gillain " Kaieniro explained to Ichigo.
" You ate it ? That was your kind ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Back when i was a Gillain. I was starting to develop into an Adjuchas and i had this one unique power that put me a cut above the rest " Kaieniro explained to Ichigo as he takes out a brown tentacle from the left sleeve.
" WHAT THE FUCK ? " Ichigo shouted.
" My ability is Glotoneria . Any Hollow i see , i can devour them and receive all their powers and abilities " Kaieniro explained to Ichigo.
" You bastard ! " Ichigo shouted.
" All this power is what i received is when i ate that hollow who contained the body of Kaien Shiba. Me and Kaien are one in the same now. I contain his experiences and all of his techniques . It would've been more fun to have met my sister again or Rukia, those would've been... " Kaieniro explained to Ichigo only to nearly get hit from a casual Getsuga Tenshō from an enraged Ichigo.
" YOU BASTARD ! You hollows are all monsters , it's bad enough you attack humans but to turn on your own kind like that. Your worse than insects , i never met Kaien in my entire life until now but to know that his death was in vain and to know Aizen created that hollow to bend events to his favor and to make a low life creature like you stronger is beyond infuriating. It's not enough that i have to save Orihime , I'M GOING TO MASSACRE EVERY LAST ARRANCAR WITHIN LAS NOCHES ! " Ichigo shouted as he smacks Kaieniro through the floor having the Arrancar fall 50 stories downward through the basement level with Ichigo following suit with blue Reiatsu around him .
" Calm down Ichigo, i want you intact when i consume your body " Kaieniro stated.
" Not happening, eat this Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he swings his Shikai like a baseball bat firing the wave which creates a large explosion which causes the building to shake again.
The explosion clears up to reveal that Ichigo's attack was deflected by a Kido barrier around Kaien.
" Ha , you missed ! " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" Maybe so but i got you where i want you to be at, now i got the edge ! " Ichigo stated.
" You idiot, you just put me in a place where i can fully use my powers without fear of light .Devour Glotonería (Spanish for Gluttony) " Kaieniro chanted as he turns his lower body into a huge, purple blob-like mass resembling an incredibly bloated invertebrate, with dozens of stubby tentacles and large mouths complete with teeth all their own.
" What the hell is that ? " Ichigo shouted as he falls to ground level where he sees the large tentacle beast .
" This is the result of all the Hollows i've eaten up until now . Don't think that this release form is anything like that of all those other Arrancars. My Glotoneria allows me to use the abilities of every hollow eaten ... All at the same time ! " Kaienrio explained to Ichigo.
" How many hollows is that ? " Ichigo asked.
" 33,650 . From this point , think of this battle... As army 30,000 Hollows ... All lined up to defeat you ! " Kaieniro explained to Ichigo.
" Big deal, i fought the equivalent of a million hollows before with the Nine Tails , you seem even weaker than that Yammy guy. I won't need Bankai to defeat you as long as i blast away this building and reveal you to the light " Ichigo said to Kaieniro as he goes to charge up another practice swing.
" I won't let you ! " Kaieniro replied as he has one of the mouths open and fire a Bala at Ichigo which Ichigo dodges .
" Damn that was fast ! " Ichigo said to himself as he sees a bunch of tentacles come at him which grab his sword and hold onto it.
" Take this , Hado 11 Tsuzuri Raiden(製本雷Bound Lightning) " Kaieniro chanted as he sends lightning through his tentacles electrocuting Ichigo .
" ARRRGH ! " Ichigo shouted as he 's electrocuted then thrown into a wall.
" What's wrong Ichigo ? I've only gotten started here " Kaieniro said to Ichigo as he moves towards Ichigo.
" Take this , Getsuga Tenshō ! " Ichigo shouted as he fires a Getsuga Tenshō towards Kaieniro
" Absorción Plam ( Spanish for Absorbing Palm ) " Kaienrio chanted as he absorbs the Getsuga Tenshō.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked Kaienrio.
" That was Hollow # 9928's main power, time to show you Hollow # 1997's power " Kaniero answered as he shoots the Getsuga back at Ichigo form one of the mouths .
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he's knocked back by his own blast.
" Try dodging this , Hollow power # 12,234 " Kaienro chanted as he shoots laser beams from his eyes which Ichigo barely dodges.
" Damn, he has all these Hollow powers ! " Ichigo said to himself as he dodges his tentacles.
" Hollow Power # 3449 " Kaienrio chanted as he shoots sticky goo which traps Ichigo onto the ground.
" Shit , i can't move ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Playtime's over , Yabukōji (薮柑子, Spearflower) " Kaien chanted as he hits Ichigo dead on with the amount of power knocking him into the ground.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to stand .
" Time to take your body ! " Kaienrio shouted as he stretches out his brown tentacle to grab Ichigo with his power however Ichigo stops him.
" Bankai " Ichigo chanted as he slashes Kaienrio's tentacle and pushes him back with the force of his sword swing and reemerges in his Bankai state.
" I see, you released your Bankai huh ? Time for me to unleash my full power as well Mil Ejército Demonio(Spanish for Thousand Demon Army)" Kainerio stated as he shoots liquid that creates over 30,000 hollows around him .
" What the hell is that ? " Ichigo asked.
" That's my army of 30,000 hollows, they may look like normal hollows but each of them has been imbued with Menos level power. Think of it as fighting over 30,000 Menos Grandes " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" I see , then i'll just maul all of them down ! " Ichigo replied as he dashes through the Hollows slashing them up as they get towards them with each swing of the sword becoming harder and harder.
" He's doing well for an amateur. He's moving so fast that none of the Hollows are able to land a hit on him so far , at this rate, he'll kill me unless.. " Kaieniro stated only to see all the Gillain enhanced hollows killed within 2 minutes.
" You're next ! " Ichigo shouted as he charges to stab Kaieniro.
" Ichigo stop ! " Kaien shouted only to stop Ichigo.
" What the ? " Ichigo said shocked to hear Karen's voice.
" Please Ichigo don't kill me, i'm still trapped in this creature " Kaien said to Ichigo.
" What are you doing ? " Kaieniro said to Kaien.
" Taking back my body ! " Kaien answered.
" No ! " Kaieniro shouted as he's forced out of release state and turns back to normal.
" What's going on ? " Ichigo asked Kaien.
" Damn that hollow, it took control of me and since then it's been trying to establish dominance, please forgive me for what i tried to do " Kaien answered.
" So you too have trouble controlling your hollow ? " Ichigo asked him.
" Sorry Ichigo, its' that i wish i can get rid of the monster. How about we get Orihime to help ? " Kaien answered with a question.
" Fine then ! " Ichigo replied as he grabs Kaien's hand only for the tentacle to grab his sword.
" Sucker ! " Kaienrio shouted grabbing Ichigo's sword.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo shouted.
" Zanpakutō Destruction " Kaieniro chanted as he shatters Ichigo's Bankai into pieces leaving only his robe and without his sword.
" SHIT ! " Ichigo shouted.
" You fell for it boy , if anyone touches the tentacles on Metastacia, their Zanpakutō will be destroyed instantly. This effect was limited to once a night, and was the only reason Metastacia had such an easy time against a Shinigami lieutenant. It seems you still maintain the cloak but what good would that do if you can't cut me down " Kaieniro explained to Ichigo as he redraws his sword again.
" Bastard ! " Ichigo shouted.
" You fool , we tricked you. Kaien is nothing more but a shell we used for our gain ! " Kaieniro stated.
" I'll make you pay ! " Ichigo replied.
" Devour Glotonería (Spanish for Gluttony) " Kaieniro chanted as he turns his lower body into a huge, purple blob-like mass resembling an incredibly bloated invertebrate, with dozens of stubby tentacles and large mouths complete with teeth all their own.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he gets smack into the wall by the tentacles.
" Hahahahaha ! You remind me alot of Kaien of should i say myself. Without your Zanpakutō, you're powerless against me. I originally used to be the 5th Espada however the newer generation of Espada came and surpassed my level of power even with their Zanpakutō's stolen from them, you on the other hand have no skill and your sword fighting skills are mediocre at best, you can't hope to beat me now even if you're in Bankai state " Kaieniro arrogantly taunted as he smacks Ichigo into a wall.
" Shut up , i don't need a sword to handle scum like you ! " Ichigo replied as he gets back up .
" Well i'm about to do to you like i did to Kaien , i'm going to play with you like a puppet and once i devoured your body, i'm going to use your body to go to your world and have you slay your friends and family " Kaieniro said to Ichigo.
" That's not happening ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Think on how much power you would give me . The power of a Vice Captain gave me enough power to rise to the ranks of an Espada, you have far higher levels of power than that and with your spiritual energy, i can not only be two beings but our power would far surpass all the other Espadas now time to take your body " Kaieniro said to Ichigo as he launches his tentacles at Ichigo.
" Shut up ! I WON'T LET YOU HAVE ME ! " Ichigo shouted as he fires a black and red blast which burns away Kaieniro's tentacles.
" Impossible, how are you able to attack without a Zanpakutō ? " Kaienrio asked as he gets back up.
" What was that just now ? " Ichigo said to himself as he stands up .
" I guess i'll have to smack you around a bit more then " Kaieniro said to Ichigo as he charges at Ichigo.
" I told you, i'll crush you with my barehands if i have to " Ichigo replied as he uses his Bankai cloak speed to disappear from sight.
" Where did he go ? " Kaieniro said to himself only to see Ichigo in the air.
" Let's see you survive this ! " Ichigo shouted as he creates a massive sonic boom from the top floor which starts the collapse of the tower.
" He's moving so fast that the sonic boom is causing the tower to collapse " Kaien said to himself.
" You're going to pay for all the people you hurt ! " Ichigo shouted as his right hand glows with black and red Reiatsu.
" I got to stop him , Yabukōji (薮柑子, Spearflower) " Kaien chanted as he shoots a blast towards Ichigo but then a red beam cancels it out.
" Die ! " Ichigo shouted as he punches through the octopus creature that is Kaieniro's legs.
" ARROOOGRAGH ! " Kaienrio shouted as the explosion then occurs with the entire tower exploding with the explosion leveling everything within a 1,200 foot radius.
The explosion clears up to reveal a 82.5 foot diameter ,23 foot deep crater where the tower once stood with Ichigo emerging out of the ruins with goo and blood all over his Bankai robe . The punch creates an immense destructive force ,equivalent to 52 Tons of TNT ,slightly more destructive force than the FOAB bomb ,destroying 1,560 meters ^3 of rocks . Ichigo's Bankai blade reconstructs from Reishi and forms around Ichigo's hand again.
" That was a close one ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" What was that just now ? It felt i fired a Cero but there's no way i could've , could i " Ichigo stated.
" You need to be more careful when fighting ! " Zangetsu stated.
" That guy might not of been as strong as Yammy but he was certainly a tougher opponent to fight. All that matters is that Kaien has been avenged " Ichigo replied as he walks out of the crater.
" What are you going to do now ? " Zangetsu asked Ichigo.
" Wipe out every last Arrancar here, they all need to die , then i'll rescue Orihime " Ichigo answered as he dashes away in his Bankai state.
Meanwhile at sector 32
Harribel and Starrk feel Aaoniero die as well .
" This is bad ! " Harribel said to Starrk.
" He said he's going to kill all the Arrancars with Las Noches ! " Starrk replied.
" I never liked Aaroniero or Yammy however the fact remains that they are still part of this organization. This puts Sheelal and Rey at risk " Harribel said to her lover.
" We also need to save Lilynette as well ! " Starrk replied.
Meanwhile 2,500 feet from Aaroniero Arruruerie's Palace
Several Arrancars are drinking beer too drunk to realize that Ichigo is attacking Las Noches . Sheeal is with Rey Triuton who's drunk off his ass when Lilynette walks into the bar .
" There you are ! " Lilynette said to Rey as he's drunk.
" I would like another ! " Rey replied to the bartender.
" You had enough ! " the bartender replied.
" I'll tell you when i have enough ! " Rey stated as he stumbles over.
Suddenly a very big and muscular guy with blonde man with a big jaw and red eyes. He is wearing a red visor over his eyes and is wearing a purple and gray uniform and his Zanpakutō took the form of a large double-sided hammer. His mask remains was a plate on top of his head who starts talking about Aizen.
" Guys,l i heard some sinner is attacking the base " the guy said to people.
" Give it a rest Ragun Attsu ! " Rey replied.
" About that, Harribel wants you back ! " Lilynette said to Rey .
" In a minute ! " Rey replied as he grabs another drink and puts it at the table.
" Aizen is Grand and Glorious, he would crush the fool who dares mess with him " Ragun said to everyone only to see an Arrancar through the door and slammed into the bartender table.
" Who is that ? " Sheelal asked as Ichigo walks into the bar slowly in his Bankai state.
" A Shinigami ! " all the Arrancars shouted as they get up to draw their swords except for Rey who's still drinking .
" Yo Rey, there's trouble let's get out of here " Sheelal said to Rey.
"After i'm done drinking ! " Rey replied as he drinks down some sake.
" Where's Orihime Inoue ? " Ichigo asked the group.
" So you must be the sinner who goes against Lord Aizen " Ragun asked Ichigo.
" Damn straight ! " Ichigo answered with an arrogant look on his face.
" Time to teach you a lesson coming here uninvited kid " said the Arrancars as 23 Arrancar come at Ichigo.
" Really huh ? " Ichigo replied as he lifts his arm and within a split second cut down all the Arrancars with a single fury of slashes.
" I'm out of here ! " Sheelal shouted as he runs away from Ichigo.
" You're not getting away ! " Ichigo shouted as he's about to attack Sheelal getting away only to be hit by Ragun's punch.
" El Ponche ( Spanish for The Punch) " Ragun chanted as he focuses all his spiritual pressure into his right fist and slams it down on Ichigo's head , creating a massive blast of power that destroys everything within the bar .
" Ouch, that hurt ! " Ichigo stated as he only feels Pain equal to a bee sting .
" How are you still standing ? " Ragun asked only to be decapitated by Ichigo 's blade.
" Because i'm in Bankai Bitch ! " Ichigo answered as he wants towards Lilynette and Rey.
" Shit, he just killed 24 Arrancars without breaking a sweat and he's heading towards me and Rey " Lilynette stated as she hides behind a table.
Rey turns around to see Ichigo but is drunk and confuses him for one of his friends.
" Hey, want a drink ? " Rey asked only to have his cup cut in half by Ichigo.
" I'm underaged , i can't have a drink but you can tell me where's Orihime ? " Ichigo answered as Rey looks around to see dead bodies everywhere.
" What the hell happened here ? " Rey asked Ichigo.
" I killed them all , and your next ! " Ichigo answered as he draws his blade.
" You bastard. i'll make you pay ! " Rey shouted as he draws his sword.
" Ha, you're clearly wasted. I'm in my Bankai state, there's no way you can take me without releasing your sword " Ichigo stated only to be pushed back by Rey.
" Don't... underestimate ... Me ! " Rey replied moving around in a drunken stance as he charges at Ichigo.
Ichigo and Rey clash attacks with each other . Rey surprisingly holds his own with Ichigo even within his drunken state . Rey pushes Ichigo out of the bar and jumps 300 feet in the air to fight Ichigo. Ichigo goes to do a horizontal slash but Rey manages to parry Ichigo's hit.
" How is he able to fight me ? I'm in my Bankai state, there's no way my power has decreased that much after fighting 3 Espada level Arrancars " Ichigo said to himself as he dodges a blow from Rey.
" You'll pay for hurting my... friends ! " Rey said to Ichigo as he pushes back Ichigo while stumbling back.
" What is your rank and who are you ? " Ichigo asked Rey.
" Arrancar # 32 Rey Tiburón ! " Rey answered as he smacks Ichigo back 20 feet away.
" How can a Números be this strong ? I thought they were only Vice Captain level " Ichigo said to himself as he jumps into the air.
Ichigo and Rey clash blades again which causes the ground to be uplifted 7 feet high from their powerful strike within a 20 foot radius. Rey uses his right hand to aim his sword at Ichigo's face but Ichigo blocks the blade and then Rey's arm and throws him into a 20 foot rock and comes at him with a right horizontal slash but Rey blocks the strike and uses a one hand sword lunge but the ginger teen dodges and does a two-handed slash but Rey blocks the blade.
" Take this Proyectil Azul ( Spanish for Blue Projectile) " Rey chanted as he fires a powerful blast at Ichigo which sends him 300 feet into a 5 story building pillar.
" Damn that hurt ! " Ichigo said to himself as he gets back up and gets serious .
" Take this Bala Martillo (Spanish for Bullet Hammer) " Rey chanted as he fires a barrage of light blue Balas hitting Ichigo head out.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted as he gets hit repeatedly with the Balas.
" There's no use trying to defend... My... Bala Martillo (Spanish for Bullet Hammer) is twice the power of a normal Bala " Rey chanted as he fires more Balas at Ichigo which then levels the pillar.
" Damn , he's strong, either that or i've lost alot of power ! " Ichigo said to himself as Rey charges at him .
" I got you now ! " Rey stated as he's about to finish Ichigo off .
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo countered as he uses his Getsuga Tenshō to form a saw like blade which cuts through Rey's Zanpakutō easily cutting the blade in half and cutting Rey across the chest and sending him flying into the ruins of the bar. Ichigo lands on the ground looking for Rey and looking at Rey's body.
" He's too strong, it's best i play dead and hope he goes away or at least until Master Harribel comes into the ruins of the bar " Rey said to himself as he suppresses his heartbeat and Reiatsu.
" Looks like he's dead but make sure Aizen doesn't use Orihime to revive them, i'll reduce them all to dust " Ichigo stated as he gathers black and Red Reiatsu around his blade.
" Shit, he's going to kill us all and reduce us to dust ! " Rey said to himself only to hear a Cero hit Ichigo in the head.
" Take this ! This is for killing Rey ! " Lilynette shouted as she fires a spam of green Ceros at Ichigo.
" Looks like i missed an Arrancar ! " Ichigo said to himself as he uses Shunpo and aims his blade at Lilynette
" AWWWWRGH ! " Lilynette screamed as Ichigo stops his blade an inch towards her neck.
" What the hell ? Why are you here ? What's a little girl doing here ? " Ichigo asked Lilynette.
" Listen! Arrancar don't have ages ! " Lilynette answered as Ichigo draws back his blade.
" Get out of here, i don't care if you're an Arrancar or not . I can't bring myself to kill a child, especially one as weak as you " Ichigo stated as he walks away.
" Shithead ! " Lilynette shouted as she watches Ichigo disappear.
" Lilynette ! " Rey said to her.
" What is it ... Rey you're alive " Lilynette said to Rey.
" But all my friends and the bar were killed off " Rey replied as he gets back up holding on to his chest.
" Are you alright ? " Lilynette asked.
" He cut through my Hierro but fortunately he missed my vital organs and only grazed the bones of the ribcage, had not for my sword blocking his blow, he would've split me in half " Rey explained to Lilynette as he falls down .
" Hang in there Rey ! " Lilynette said to the Arrancar as she tends to his wounds trying to cover the wound to stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile at the ruins of Aaroniero
Harribel and Starrk look at the ruins of the tower caused by Ichigo's attack . They look at the splatter of Aaroniero's blood which covers the ruins within a 300 foot diameter, 50 foot deep crater when Sheelal arrives to tell them what happened .
" Guys , Rey needs help ! " Sheelal said to the two.
" What's going on ? " Harribel asked.
" He's fighting off the Shinigami ! " Sheelal answered as he rushes to the area as well as Harribel and Starrk.
They arrive at the ruins of the bar where all the Arrancar have been slain except for Lilynette and Rey.
" Rey are you okay ? " Harribel asked Rey.
" I'm okay guys , i just need a drink and maybe some rest " Rey answered.
" I'm so sorry Rey, i should've stood and fight while you " Sheelal said to Rey.
" That's okay ,you did the smart thing and came to us . Now let's get Rey to the hospital " Harribel stated..
" Right ! " Lilynette replied as she holds Rey up and carry him away.
Szayel's lab
7:45 P.M. Ichigo runs through the lab searching for Orihime when Szayel walks down the hall.
" My my, what a handsome young fellow we have here as a guest " Szayel said to Ichigo as he stands there calmly .
" Where's Orihime ? " Ichigo asked Szayel.
" Hmm, you're after that ugly whore huh ? I'll tell you since i'm not that much of a fighter. She's located within sector 0 at the very top of Las Noches , the problem is that i can't let you get there " Szayel answered.
" Then i'll have to cut you down ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Easy there , you're a bit jumpy when it comes to your sword. I have no interest in fighting you. I hope we can establish a dialogue together , if you're willing to take a chance and trust me . I think we'll both benefit, hell i can use such a hunky man like you around the lab . After all it's been awhile since i had a partner here . Perhaps we can do stuff with each other now rather than fight " Szayel explained to Ichigo while flaunting his body.
" Sorry to disappoint you but i don't swing that way , i hold nothing against you if your gay however what i do hold against you is that you're an Arrancar created by Aizen and you must be destroyed. I'm not going to allow you to manipulate me like the last Arrancars , i came here to rescue Orihime and kill every last of your filthy Hollows " Ichigo shouted as he uses his Bankai to dash at Szayel.
" Hmm, how predictable ! " Szayel replied as a yellow ray of light appears around Szayel and negates Ichigo's Bankai.
" WHAT THE FUCK ? " Ichigo shouted as he reverts back to his Shikai state.
" The dumb ones are always the cute ones, i'm afraid you can't use your Bankai here " Szayel replied.
" What the hell did you do ? " Ichigo asked Szayel as he struggles to release it.
" All the information of your Bankai , it's shape, abilities, even the way which it arrives to spiritual composition from your Reiatsu. All of this has been delivered to me in the prefect condition and with that information, i simply created a mechanism to seal your Bankai within these quarters " Syazel explained to Ichigo.
" How did you get all that information on my Bankai ? " Ichigo asked Syazel.
" When didn't i ? We been watching you since the Soul Society incident when you first used it on Byakuya Kuchiki but most notably i put special microscopic spirit bugs within the body of the 6th Esapda. We been watching you for a while Ichigo and it's so easy to make a counter to your Bankai. We have all your battle data assessed from the last few months. Admittedly i have yet to tap into the data of your recent fights within Konoha so i don't know how much stronger you become since you first fought Grimmjow " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" You really are scum ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Well it doesn't matter. At any rate, there's no possible way for you to win or escape now , this is the first time i've had a soon to be boy toy capable of using Bankai before my eyes . To be honest, i'm quite excited . Normally i'll kill you but Aizen finds you far too valuable and i can see why, that ripped muscular body is so delicious , starch that, i'm very excited to fight you " Szayel said to Ichigo as he raves about Ichigo's body.
" Great, i'm stuck with not only a Arrancar but a flaming homosexual rapist " Ichigo replied as he unwrap his Shikai.
" Bring it on honeybuns ! " Szayel responded as he stands there with Ichigo coming towards him.
Ichigo goes to do a horizontal slash but Syazel blocks the one-handed strike with his right hand and parries the attack .
" What's wrong ? Looks like you don't have all the information on me as you thought " Ichigo shouted as he swings his blade multiple times with Szayel blocking the attacks.
" My you're very strong, then again i can't expect anything less from a beefcake like you ! " Szayel replied as he seems to struggle with Ichigo's blows.
" Looks like just knowing how i fight isn't enough for you to keep up with me " Ichigo said to Szayel as he swings his blade across Szayel's.
" Shit ! " Szayel shouted.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he swings his sword horizontally then downward and then pushes him back with a thrust.
" My , that sword is so big i don't think my little old body can take it ! " Szayel shouted as he see Ichigo come towards him.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he swing his Shikai by the cloth like a flail towards Szayel.
" Just Kidding ! " Szayel replied as he effortlessly stops Ichigo Shikai flail with one hand.
" Impossible ! " Ichigo shouted as Szayel swings his sword knocking back Ichigo with the shockwave.
" You're strikes are incredibly slow . You don't even compare to my data " Szayel taunted Ichigo.
" Damn you ! " Ichigo replied.
" You still haven't figured it out ? You were merely dancing on the palm of my hand " Szayel replied as Ichigo then notices Szayel hasn't moved from his spot.
" Impossible, he barely moved an inch while blocking my attacks " Ichigo said to himself.
" So you finally noticed ? " Szayel asked Ichigo.
" You blocked all my attacks without moving an inch " Ichigo answered.
" I was testing to see how strong you were , but ... It seem this is all you got without your Bankai ? It's amazing you made it this far being this weak . I can see how you beat that moron Yammy, he had strength but seriously lacked brains , besides even with the power boost i gave him, he's still the weakest of the Espadas " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" What do you mean power boost ? " Ichigo asked Szayel.
" Too bad Yammy was killed before he could've released that power, i doubt you would've stood a chance against that form anyways given how sloppy your fighting is " Szayel answered.
" Wait what are you talking about ? " Ichigo asked Syazel.
" He was once one of my best experiments but that's in the past " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" You're behind that #0 Espada thing ? Please explain " Ichigo asked Syazel.
" It's a long story, i'll dumb it down for you so even a hot beefy simpleton like you can follow " Szayel replied.
" Fuck you faggot ! " Ichigo replied.
" Thanks for the compliment but let's save that kind of talk for the bed. Either way let's get to the point. Yammy was originally below even Aaroniero in power and for a while was an incomplete mock Arrancar similar to Grand Fisher before becoming an complete Arrancar with the Hōgyoku. Yammy naturally became an Arrancar by breaking his mask . After Aizen completed his first Hōgyoku, he became a Números level Arrancar with only Vice Captain level power. Yammy like Aaroniero had so much potential as an Espada that Aizen himself told me to increase his strength " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" So Yammy is a modified Hollow ? He didn't seem that powerful for someone so modded " Ichigo stated.
" Trust me when i said he was much weaker. It didn't help that the hollow known as Yammy lacked Intelligence int he first place and was far too arrogant of his power to train to get stronger like the rest of the Arrancars. I gave him special power enhancing drugs to test the limits of his power and that's how he emerged as the Espada you know " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" So why did you guys work so hard on him ? " Ichigo asked Szayel .
" He might of been a mere hollow in the past but thanks to his unique ability to steal Reishi to increase his strength, he was very useful for us . Yammy's Gonzui (魂吸 Soul Inhalation ) devours as many souls as possible within a large radius of Yammy, in order to rapidly increase the size and power of his Reiryoku. Yammy prior to self Arrrancifacation was stronger than Grand Fisher, with his own Arrancarfcation, he emerged to be as powerful as a Gillian and with the Hōgyoku, became Adjuchas level and with my help, Espada level. The power to steal Reiryoku is what made him such a big deal back then and his second form " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" Second form ? " Ichigo asked.
" Thanks to special drugs that enhance his size and power whenever he's enraged , at his most enraged , he grows to be skyscraper sized and gets a boost of power. Strength wise, i put him somewhere between the 5th and 6th Espada " Szayel replied.
" So you guys really value this guy at one point ? " Ichigo asked.
" Yammy was originally going to be used to create the Ōken by leveling your town with his mega Gonzui sadly though he never lived up to our expectations as # 0 Espada . The drugs we put within his body vastly increased his point to the point he can hold his own with Kenpachi Zaraki in his enraged form however his power never went any higher than because of the laziness and stupidity of that brute combined with his immense arrogance believing himself to be actually the #0 Espada . Hell he disappointed me when he couldn't beat the former 10th Espada without using his enraged form however that was in the distant past . Since then far stronger Arrancars have emerged and given Yammy never trained to live up to his true potential, he became essentially a joke . Zommari was the same way " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" Who the hell is Zommari ? " Ichigo asked.
" He was the former 7th Espada , he stole it from a fellow Espada thanks to my help. I drugged up his opponents drink in order to help him win. His ability to control people and objects was unique and he had so much potential but he was immensely arrogant and because of that combined with the fact he never went beyond a Vice Captains power level , he was killed pretty recently and replaced with a far stronger and more competent Espada but the best modifications i ever done was Metastacia. i painstakingly created that creature and modified him for a full year only for it to go to waste when you killed the 9th Espada " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" So you're the one who's responsible for that ? You're the one who killed Kaien Shiba and put Rukia through so much grief ? " Ichigo asked.
" It was delightful , in addition to making one of the best modified Hollows, i made a bunch of Shinigami cry . Aizen wanted me to make him a special hollow, one that had the ability to fuse with a person's body by firing his tentacles at them. He was also given the power to destroy Zanpakutōs. With the Hōgyoku, it became on par with a 3rd seat Shinigami, that's the reason why Kaien Shiba was killed off " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" Why Kaien ? " Ichigo asked Szayel.
" Kaien Shiba was one of the most talented Vice Captains within the History of the Gotei 13 . He even trained the likes of Byakuya Kuchiki prior to him becoming a Vice Captain and then a Captain and trained Rukia Kuchiki. Kaien excelled in almost every thing he did, he was a kido expert, master swordsman , Hakuda expert and Shunpo expert . He was a high tier Vice Captain who was said to be came close to achieving his Bankai. He was also one of the few who was on to our secret. Aizen decided to science him forever " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" So you had Kaien killed off ? " Ichigo shouted.
" We could've sent out an Espada or a group of Adjuchas to do that but before we did, we discovered a rare Menos Grande that was partially evolving into an Adjuchas . It had two heads, one of them looked more like a Menos while the other had it's own look. It's body structure was more of an octopus but it was still at the form and size of a Menos. It had the unique ability to evolve infinitely. Aizen knowing how strong this rare Menos was the one who order Metastacia to kill Kaien and take his body, and i think you know the rest by now " Szayel explained to Ichigo only to get a cut on his face.
" You bastard, you ruined people's lives with your inventions , i'm going to kill you worse than i did with the other Espadas " Ichigo shouted as he dashes at Syazel with both blades on his sword with rage in his eyes.
" You think such a weak attack could cut my Hierro any deeper ? Hahaha don't make me laugh" Szayel arrogantly mocked but Ichigo uses Shunpo to appear above Szayel and cut Szayel's left arm trying to block the then swings his Shikai at Szayel ,Szayel uses Sonído but Ichigo still manages to cuts his face from the bridge of his nose.
" I'm just getting warmed up ! " Ichigo replied as he comes at Szayel with a series of powerful slashes but Syazel starts to block them better.
" Damn , that bastard is far stronger than i thought . I won't be able to beat him so easily, even in his Shikai state. Time for plan B " Szayel said to himself as he gets away from Ichigo.
" You're not getting away , i'll destroy this place and kill you with my Bankai Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo countered as he swings his Shikai like a baseball bat firing the wave as it collides with the wall but it bounces back towards Ichigo.
" These walls were designed to repel all energy based attacks. Anything less than a Bankai isn't going to level this place " Szayel shouted as the blast comes back at Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the attack.
" If i can't hit this place , then i'll hit you instead ! " Ichigo replied as he fires another Getsuga Tenshō , this time at Szayel.
" Anulación ( Spanish for Nullification ) " Szayel chanted as he slaps Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō , cutting the blast in half.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo shouted.
" By analyzing its structure and Reiatsu, i can negate any attack up to 2 times my own power with Anulación ( Spanish for Nullification ) . Face it, without Bankai, you have no real way of damaging me now . Fracción, attack him but don't kill him. I need to ravish that body of his before anything " Szayel said to the Fraccion as they all appear around Ichigo.
Most of them are incomplete Arrancar; they neither carry Zanpakutō nor do they appear entirely human. The majority of them all wear a similar pattern of clothing to Szayel's, sporting the three stripes that run down his chest on their person. Only three are notable appearance wise , two short and obese Arrancars who are almost identical in appearance except on has a short black pony tail, while the other has black pigtails. The other one is much larger than any of Szayel Aporro's other Fracción, with disproportionately long arms. He has clown-like black hair protruding from each side of his head and the remnants of his Hollow mask cover his right eye and nose with teeth coming out of the bottom. His left eye is all-yellow and he has a dark pink stigma as an eyebrow.
" What are those ugly things ? " Ichigo asked.
" These are my Fracción, they're not as powerful as the other Espadas but numbers make up for that. I have 12 of them and each of them with the RYK of 600 RYK, they're each as powerful as a 3rd seat . There's no way you can take them all out and me at the same time. Looking at your current power , you only have 5,000 RYK, which i got to admit is2,000 RYK higher than my own right now however let's see you contend with me while fighting these guys off as well " Szayel explained to Ichigo as one of them tries to punch Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the blow and cuts one with his Shikai.
" Come on, you need to do better than that ! " Ichigo replied as he goes to attack Szayel only to be blasted by the same Fracción by a Cero.
" Ichigo, you moron. All these Fracción are the equivalent of a Gillain on their own, they're capable of High Speed Regeneration . Unless you destroy all of their vital organs or brain, they'll keep coming back up " Szayel said to Ichigo .
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted as he blocks a massive punch from a 15 foot Fracción and pushes it back. Ichigo jumps into the air and clashes blades with Szayel.
" Think you can overcome numbers ? Even if you could beat us 1 vs 1, it doesn't mean we can't defeat you all at once " Szayel said to Ichigo as he dodges Ichigo's strikes .
" I'll just have to kill the puppet master ! " Ichigo replied only to get sucker punched by one of the big Fracción .
" Ha, you think it's so easy fighting these things. Trust me when i say this but they hit much harder than they look " Szayel laughed as Ichigo gets back up.
" I'll remember that ! " Ichigo replied as he wipes off the dirt on his face as he goes to fight off the Fracción.
Ichigo jumps into the air and sees one Arrancar come towards him with a flying punch but Ichigo smacks him down with his Zangetsu. Another Arrancar much skinner follows Ichigo and shoots a Bala towards him but Ichigo dodges the attack as well and comes toward the Hollow and swings down his sword and pushes him back 20 feet away with a cut on it's chest. One of the Arrancar surprises Ichigo coming from the top and tires to do a flying punch but Ichigo dodges the attack. Ichigo then dodges a swipe from a much bigger Arrancar and goes to slash him but the blade didn't cut through.
" Impossible, my Zangetsu didn't cut him. How ? Something's not right here ! " Ichigo said to himself as he looks in shock that his blade failed to cut it.
" Sorry honeybuns but it seems your power has been sealed " Szayel said to Ichigo as Ichigo is punched by one of the Arrancars into a wall.
" ARRGGH ! What do you mean sealed ? " Ichigo asked only to notice a skull symbol on the middle of his chest.
" What i did there was put a special Gentei Reiin(限定霊印, Soul-Limiting Symbol ), This cuts your power down by 90% , in short you're 10 times as weak as when you started. With your reduced power , you can't do anything to resist my power " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" How do you know power levels and statistics like that ? " Ichigo asked Szayel.
" Easy Ichigo. These glasses i wear calculates your power level and it feeds me all the stats and data to my head. The remains of my Hollow mask take the form of rectangular-framed glasses but i modified them to give me the edge in battle. Right now, your power level is at a pitiful 500 RYK, barely enough to do damage to any of my Fracción " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Face it you can't win . I know all of your moves Ichigo, Aizen had me study you very thoroughly " Szayel said to Ichigo .
" Did he, i heard that you said that you've yet to study the battle between me and Naruto thoroughly or the battles i had within Konoha. You picked a fine chapter to omit you know " Ichigo said to Szayel with a smile on his face.
" So , who cares. I immobilize you Bankai and while i can't seal your Shikai, your power level is so pitifully low , that sword might as well be a twig by comparison . You don't have much skill to begin with . You merely rely on brute force and you rarely think in battle " Szayel arrogantly laughed.
" Well it's time i use that brute force to break your seal ! " Ichigo replied with a smile on his face as he puts his hand over his face and summons energy around him.
" What do you think you're doing ? " Szayel said to Ichigo as he sees black Reiatsu glowing from his body.
" I'm going to give you a hell of a surprise ! " Ichigo replied as he starts to weigh down the ground and form a 1 foot deep crater around him.
" What's going on ? How is this possible, his power is increasing ? It's at 1,240 RYK " Syazel said to himself as he sees Ichigo glowing with more power.
" MUARRWARGH ! " Ichigo shouted as the mask starts to form around him and the Reiatsu glows around his body and the seal is starting to fade.
" Shit it's 3,679 RYK , he's breaking the seal ! " Szayel shouted .
" Allow me to show you the power you should of factored in " Ichigo replied as he becomes covered in Reiatsu.
" Fracción , shoot him down ! " Szayel shouted.
" RWAARGH ! " all of them roared as they all charge up their Cero's at once.
" Take him down !" Syazel shouted as he fires his own pink Cero with the other Cero's causing a massive explosion.
However an explosive wave appears and knocks back all the Fracción with Ichigo emerging within his Vizard mask.
" How's it hanging there ? " Ichigo asked Szayel .
" Impossible, when did you master you Hollow powers ? " Szayel shouted.
" It's thanks to the battle with Naruto that i was able to achieve this level of power " Ichigo answered.
" Shit , his power is 25,000 RYK . How is that possible without a Bankai ? I need to release fast " Szayel said to himself only to see Ichigo draw his sword and swing it.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he swings his sword releasing a massive energy wave which lightly burns Szayel's left side of his body from the grazing of the blast while he easily kills off all the Fracciónes excluding the two obese Arrancars who run away.
" Not bad, that Getsuga Tenshō is more powerful now in that mask state however it's not enough to kill me as long as i can reduce the damage " Szayel said to Ichigo with light burns on his face only to see Ichigo behind him.
" Idiot... That wasn't a Getsuga Tenshō, that was just the air pressure of my sword created just by cutting the air via practice swing " Ichigo said to Szayel as he swings his sword again and clashes with Szayel's blade pushes him back shattering his sealed sword. Ichigo then charges up an intense amount of Reiatsu around his body which becomes blue flames
" Impossible, his power jumped up to 50,000 RYK . I got to block! Anulación ( Spanish for Nullification ) " Szayel shouted as he puts an barrier around himself.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo shouted as he swings his sword which creates an immense wave of light .
"AWWARROGGHGGHWARGH ! " Szayel screamed in horror as his barrier breaks.
The blast shoots a bright beam of light from the 660 foot diameter palace to the top at the sky . The blast punches a 10 foot diameter hole into the top of the sky above Szayel's lab. The blast generated 60.5 tons of TNT and leveled 1,820 meters^3 of rock from the blast. The smoke clears up to reveal that the entire top half of the lab has been completely destroyed with Szayel standing there with a massive cut across the chest and 3rd degree burns on the top half of his body holding his broken Zanpakutō in his right hand while his left arm is gone from the cut . His upper body has been blackened with his face halfway gone revealing the muscle tendons and jawbone. Smoke is coming out his burned body.
" How are you still standing from that ? " Ichigo asked Szayel.
" My vital organs were nearly destroyed and my Hierro has been damaged beyond repair ..." Szayel asked as the two obese Arrancars come towards him.
" Are you okay Szayel ? " the two Arrancars asked him.
" Are you that badly damaged that you didn't hear me, how the hell you survive that attack ? " Ichigo asked.
" I told you that i analysed every detail of your Reiatsu, even if i never seen an attack before, i can still disperse the attack and reduce the damage " Szayel explained to Ichigo as he struggles to stand.
" Looks like you're unable to fight too bad , i'll just make sure this next one wipes you out of existence " Ichigo replied as he charges up more energy .
" I'll just reduce the damage ... Reduce the Damage... REDUCE THE DAMAGE BITCH !" Szayel shouted in intense pain as he drops his Zanpakutō and uses his remaining arm to grab one of the obese Arrancars. and throws them into the ground.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo shouted shocked to see Szayel attack his own Fracción.
" Time for some medicine ! " Szayel shouted as he bites through the skull of his Fracción.
" WHAT THE FUCK ? " Ichigo shouted as he's shocked to see such a brutal act of cannibalism.
" ARRWWRGH ! " the Arrancar screamed as it's being devoured by Szayel.
Szayel first rips through the skull and then rips the ears off the Arrancar. Then he tears the face off while it's still screaming and munches through the jaw. Syazel then starts ripping the skull like a savage animal until there's no head and then drinks the blood spewing out of the veins of the neck like it was water from a water foundation. Syazel then rips out the lungs and shoves them down his mouth crunching on them and removes the still beating heart and eats it spewing blood all over his face , Szayel then munches on the intensities and organs and finishes the rest of it's body
" What the fuck am i seeing , he just eat his own kind ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" BUUAAARH ! " Szayel said with an as he finishes his meal and all his wounds have fully healed while eating the arm and licking the blood off his fingers.
" He just ate his own Fracción as if it was a chicken . Now i think i became a vegetarian for life " Ichigo said to himself as he vomits in horror of what he just saw.
" Lumina ,Lumina ,Lumina ! " the Arrancar cried out as it mourns his deceased twin.
" Quit your whining. Your twin brother tasted like chicken , i'll just make another one! " Szayel shouted.
" Yes sir ! " the other Arrancar replied as it leaves what's left of the lab.
" YOU BASTARD ! YOU JUST ATE YOUR KIND !" Ichigo shouted.
" Did i surprise you ? You almost had me with that attack there, i severely underestimated you Ichigo. They're like regenerative medicine. If i eat one of them when i'm hurt , it'll heal me of all my wounds . That's what i made them for " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" You monster ! " Ichigo shouted.
" You seem surprised that an Arrancar would do this . Hollows eat each other, why not eat other Arrancars ? " Szayel asked Ichigo.
" I'm going to crush you , you cannibalistic faggot ! " Ichigo shouted as he holds his blade with anger as he charges at Szayel.
" Sip Fornicarás (Spanish for You Will Fornicate) " Szayel shouted as he releases his power by swallowing his sword. In his released form, the lower half of his body becomes a multitude of purple tentacles reminiscent of a sea anemone. His feet extend from under the tentacles, which are then replaced by a layered dress-like garment which pushes back Ichigo with a tentacle.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked as he sees Szayel in his release form.
" You're going to pay big time for destroying my lab " Szayel shouted. as he swings one of his tentacles towards Ichigo.
" That won't work ! " Ichigo shouted as he blocks the tentacles with Shikai and Hollow mask but it opens up.
" Idiot ! " Szayel shouted as he uses his one of his " wings " to eat Ichigo and then spits him out, one of the strands of his "wings" becomes engorged and bursts with purple liquid, creating a small doll that has Ichigo's likeness.
" What the hell is that ? " Ichigo asked.
" They're pretty and colorful, aren't they ? " Szayel asked Ichigo.
" Still playing with dolls ? I don't see how's that going to save you " Ichigo answered.
" This is my special ability Vudú (Spanish for Voodoo), It creates a small doll that has the victim's damage done to the doll's internal organs, accessed by taking them apart and removing the organ is done to the original, debilitating them from the inside " Szayel stated.
" What the hell do you mean ? " Ichigo asked.
" I didn't expect a simpleton like you to understand this. Understanding comes quickest through experience" Szayel stated as he grabs the pink color tablet labeled Stomach.
" The Stomach huh ? " Szayel stated as he crushes Ichigo's stomach.
" ARRGH ! " Ichigo shouted as he feels intense pain to his stomach as he pukes up stomach acid and blood from his mouth." What ? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED ? " Ichigo asked is shocked as blood comes out of his mouth as well as stomach acids.
" You see Ichigo, you might have an advantage in brute strength but brute strength means nothing if you can't even get the chance to fight back. You're my bitch now Ichigo and i'm going to have my way with your body " Szayel explained to Ichigo.
" Son of a bitch ! " Ichigo shouted as he dashes towards Szayel to cut him down.
" My you don't seem to know when to quit ! " Szayel replied as he snaps Ichigo's right Fibula .
" ARRGH! " Ichigo shouted as he falls to the ground but he holds on to his Shikai while still in Hollow Mask form.
" I just severed you Fibula, you shouldn't try to move in your state " Syazel shouted .
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he stands back up barely standing with one leg.
" I must admit, you got spunk to raise your sword after taking so much damage however, it's not enough for me honey " Syazel taunted as he grabs the small pill labeled humerus
" ARWWAAH ! " Ichigo shouted as he falls down with his right arm cracked forcing him to drop his Shikai.
" Looks like you lose Ichigo , you can't hope to fight me in your state, you can't even hold your Zanpakutō . Sure you still have that mask on but it does you no good if you can't move your body " Szayel said to Ichigo .
" Damn you ! " Ichigo shouted.
" You all get surprised from just a small thing, and you don't see what's ahead. Just like kids. Humans, Shinigami, and Quincy... they're all the same. They're equally inferior. If there's a reason for you to be destroyed by Aizen-sama, it's because... of your inferiority however you're much like us, you're very different than a human and Aizen wants you at all cost " Szayel explained to Ichigo as he tries to get back up
" You're the ones whose inferior . You Arrancars are trying to be like humans but you lack hearts. All Arrancars are cold, cruel, ruthless, arrogant, impulsive, brutal, battle-hungry monsters who see nothing more but to destroy lives. I'll be the one to exterminate you guys " Ichigo shouted as he shoots a blast out of his hand which hits Szayel 's right arm forcing him to drop the Voodoo Doll.
" Impossible did he just fire a Bala at me ? " Szayel said to himself.
" What was that attack just now ? Was it a Cero ? " Ichigo said to himself.
" What the hell ? You damaged my arm , you're going to pay ! " Szayel shouted.
" I'm not letting you get that doll ! " Ichigo replied as he dashes towards Szayel.
" Guys, take him down ! " Szayel said to his throne as it's revealed to be two massive Arrancars with gray bodies.
" That isn't going to work ! " Ichigo shouted as he cuts both creatures in half and send them flying 300 feet from the swing of his Shikai while in Hollow mask.
" What the hell ? " Szayel shouted only to see Ichigo grab the doll and slash Szayel through his right arm.
" That's my doll ! " Ichigo said to Szayel as Szayel staggers back, Ichigo gets his distance and places the doll away from them.
" Damn you ! " Szayel shouted.
" Bankai ! " Ichigo chanted as he turns into his Bankai form with his Vizard Mask on . A powerful gust of wind creating a massive wave of energy engulfing everything within a 600 foot radius in a whirlwind.
" Looks like you turned Bankai but with your injures, you're below 25% of your power " Szayel arrogantly laughed only to see Ichigo disappear.
" 25% is more than enough in this form ! " Ichigo replied as he slashes Szayel's check with his Bankai blade and cuts off all the tentacles and cuts Szayel across the chest within a few seconds.
" ARRGGH ! " Szayel shouted as he's pushed back by Ichigo.
" Still think you're a match for me ? I only gotten started ! " Ichigo stated only to feel pain in his stomach, right arm and right leg.
" Impossible , he's at 125,000 RYK even at his weakened state . I'm only 30,000 RYK , he's far stronger than me " Szayel said to himself.
" Had enough ? " Ichigo shouted as he taunts Szayel.
" Bastard, i was going to allow you to live as my sex slave but i give up. YOU MUST DIE ! " Szayel shouted as he charges up his attack.
" What are you doing ? " Ichigo asked.
" Gran Rey Cero " Szayel stated as he shoots a pink energy blast at Ichigo which comes towards Ichigo
" That's not going to work ! " Ichigo replied as he puts his hand between the blast and negates the attack tanking the Cero without any damage .
The Cero destroys what's left of the lab reducing the area lab into a 130 foot diameter, 35 foot deep crater with Ichigo and Szayel floating in the air . The Gran Rey Cero generated 192 Tons of TNT, over ten times the explosive force of the MOAB . The blast leveled 5,740 meters ^3 of rock forming the large crater .
" Impossible, how did you tank a Gran Rey Cero ? HOW ? " Szayel shouted only to see Ichigo throw the doll towards him.
" Take that as a parting gift ! " Ichigo said to Szayel .
" Hahahahaha! You arrogant fool, you just signed your death warrant. I'll just pull out the heart and crush it and you die " Szayel laughed as he holds the heart pill but before he can do so, he feels a stab inside him.
" Ironic isn't it , being stabbed in the place you wanted to stab me through . Hurts doesn't it ? " Ichigo said to Szayel as Szayel struggles to hold his chest as a river of blood comes out.
" Bastard ! You missed... the heart and punctured my right coronary artery " Szayel shouted as blood comes out of his mouth.
" I know , you're going to bleed out and die a horrible death just like Kaien did but allow me to get some payback " Ichigo stated as he stabs Szayel through the stomach.
" ARRGH ! " Szayel shouted as he pukes out blood and bile.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he kicks Szayel causing his ribs to burst out his chest cavity and stick out.
" ARRGGH...AUGCK ! " Szayel screamed in pain as he feels the immense pain of being tortured to death.
" How about this ? " Ichigo shouted as he punches through Szayel and rips out his large and small intestines.
" URRACAK ! " Szayel screamed in pain as more blood is spewed everywhere.
" Let's not forget about this ! " Ichigo replied as he slices a chunk of the lower body from Szayel, castrating him in the process.
" ARRRRACK ! " Szayel shouted as he screams in agony as he bleeds out everywhere. Ichigo then punches Szayel into the center of the crater.
" I'm done with you , you're beginning to bore me ! " Ichigo shouted as he then puts pressure on Szayel's head while in Bankai Vizard mask.
" Please... Don't ..Kill me , all i wanted to do is ... bring peace to the Hollows " Szayel begged Ichigo with tears in his eyes.
" That shit doesn't work on me ! " Ichigo replied as he mercilessly crushes Szayel's head spilling brain matter everywhere with his eyeballs flying around. Ichigo reverts back to Shikai and his mask breaks .
" Looks like you really took a beating from this Arrancar " Zangetsu said to Ichigo as Ichigo is barely able to stand .
" Looks like i have no choice but to find a way to heal myself " Ichigo replied as he walks around only to see one of the obese Arrancars alive.
" There's one to heal you ! " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" No way, i'm not eating that !" Ichigo stated.
" But Ichigo, if you continue any further, you're going to die . That Arrancar has no purpose other to get eaten" Zangetsu stated.
" Still eating something that looks human doesn't seem that appealing " Ichigo replied.
" It's either that or walk around at less than 25 % of your full strength and get killed " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
Meanwhile at Hueco Mundo's 22nd Passageway
Yoruichi, Kisuke, Tessai, the Vizards and Kukaku are looking around the leveled passageway when they see a massive wall of sand there.
" Looks like Ichigo's rampage started here ! " Yoruichi said to the group.
" And from the looks of it, really went berserk ! " Kisuke stated.
" We have no time to lose, we need to get through this " Shinji said to the group.
" Right, there's no telling what that moron is doing right now ! " Kukaku replied.
Meanwhile at Orihime's cell
Orihime sits in her cell with a happy smile on her face knowing Ichigo is here for her and kicking ass.
" Ichigo, i know you're out there fighting for me , i hope you save me from these people " Orihime said to herself only for Skullak to walk into the room.
" You're needed Orihime ! " Skullak said to Orihime .
" For what ? " Orihime asked.
" Just come with me and don't ask too many questions " Skullak answered.
" Right ! " Orihime replied as she walks with Skullak out of the room .
Meanwhile Ibiki is invisible hiding from Skullak as he walks by Orihime .
" Where are they taking Orihime ? " Ibiki asked herself as she follows them via tracking device.
Meanwhile at sector 22 floor 694
Ulquiorra carries the body remnants of Aaroniero to the morgue with it's mask fragments in a sandwich bag and places him next to an unreleased dead Yammy who was cut in half lying next to a decapitated Menoly . Rudbornn is lying their dead with a hole through his torso like Demoura , Loly has also been cut in half and lying their dead next to a bag of ashes that is labeled " Aisslinger ". Several Calaveras bring in a few more dead bodies.
" Looks like Szayel Apporo has also succumbed as well " one of the Calaveras said to Ulquiorra.
" He's killed 37 Arrancars so far , Ichigo's power surprises me " Ulquiorra explained to the Calaveras.
" Looks like we're getting more casualties, Ichigo Kurosaki has killed 12 more Arrancar and was last spotted eating one of them " one of the Calaveras explained to Ulquiorra .
" Eating Arrancars, it doesn't seem to be in his character ! " Ulquiorra replied.
Meanwhile at the Medical Bay , Sector # 13 , 570th floor
Harribel is within the Hospital with Rey getting treated by the doctors within the facility.
" Is he going to be alright doctor ? " Harribel asked.
" He's lost some blood but he'll be fine , he just needs a week of rest " the doctor answered.
" I see, thank you ! " Harribel replied.
" It seems like he'll pull through after all ! " Starrk said to Harribel holding on to her.
" That Shinigami is going to pay for this ! " Harribel stated as she clenches her fist.
" It was a good thing Lilynette was there , he would've killed me had not for her " Rey said to them.
" It was nothing, i wasn't able to beat him at all ! " Lilynette replied.
" Don't be so down on yourself. He would've killed Rey had not for you ! " Starrk stated.
Suddenly Mila, Apache and Sun Sun rush into the hospital to see what's going on
" What are you girls doing here ? " Harribel asked them.
" We ran no sooner we heard that Rey was taken down " Mila answered.
" That and the Shinigami came dangerously close to our palace but ended up taking a detour to Szayel's place " Apache explained to Harribel.
" We would of been mauled down if he came to us " Sun Sun stated.
" Then you girls did a smart thing to come to us like Sheelal did ! " Harribel replied.
" Is Rey going to be fine ? " Apache asked.
" Yes , he is ! " Harribel answered as she walks out of the room.
" Where are you going ? " Starrk asked.
" To end this nonsense ! " Harribel answered as she leaves the hospital room.
" But Harribel ! " Starrk asked.
" Protect them with your life Starrk, i'm counting on you !" Harribel replied as she leaves the room.
Szayel Appro's Lab Ruins
8:00 P.M. Several Arrancars head towards the site where the explosion took place with their swords drawn out heading to take care of Ichigo. 43 Arrancars led by a Arrancar with White hair and pale gray eyes who looks like an 18-year-old , his mask remains is an arrow pointing upward on his forehead.
" So that bastard managed to kill Szayel ! " one of the Arrancars said to the white hair leader.
" Szayel's last status report stated the Shinigami was heavily wounded and exhausted. We should be able to finish him off if we work as a team " the leader said to his teammates as they march to the ruins.
Meanwhile Ichigo is fully healed up while spitting at the ground.
" Yuck, i can't believe i was forced to eat a living being where it was alive and it tasted horrible " Ichigo shouted as he feels sick.
" Technically you lobbed it's head off and killed it painlessly as opposed to ripping it apart while it's still alive " Zangetsu stated.
" Doesn't make me feel any less like shit through . Still that medicine works like a charm, it not only healed my wounds but also restored my Reiatsu " Ichigo replied as he looks at his undamaged body.
" Be sure to keep some of the chunks within the pocket of yours " Zangetsu said to Ichigo.
" No way in hell, i already feel bad having to stoop as low as cannibalism , i'm not doing it again " Ichigo shouted.
" Have any other way of healing ? " Zangetsu asked.
" No ! " Ichigo answered.
" Then take them ! " Zangetsu stated as he then sees 43 Arrancars led by the leader of the Arrancar.
" Hold it right there ! " the leader of the Arrancars said to Ichigo only to see not a single starch on him.
" So you guys were looking for me ? Wasn't expecting me to still be standing " Ichigo stated as he unwrap his Shikai.
" How are you unharmed ? " the Arrancar leader asked.
" Don't underestimate me ! " Ichigo answered.
" Guys , get him ! " the leader said to the group as they all charge at Ichigo with their Zanpakutōs .
" Please , you need to do better than that ! " Ichigo replied as he creates a cutting wave which cuts all the Arrancars in half with the vacuum wave with his sword.
" Incredible , you cut all of them with just a shockwave. You're strong " the Arrancar leader said to Ichigo.
" Just who are you ? " Ichigo asked.
" Arrancar # 36 Fran Santonio and you're going to die today " the white-haired Arrancar answered.
" Ha, a mere Arrancar is no match for me ! " Ichigo stated.
" Let's see if you can fight me while weakened Propel, Libelula ( Spanish for Dragonfly) " Fran chanted as he draws out his sword with a lime green hilt and smoke covers his body. Once out of the smoke , his mask has moved to his shoulders, making two protective pads. Four transparent wings sprout from his back, striped with red. His shirt become tight against his body, appearing almost segmented-like.
" Is that all you got ? " Ichigo arrogantly taunted .
" Hardly, watch this ! " Fran answered as he dashes at 4,525.8 feet per second(3,058 MPH) hitting Ichigo in the face sending him flying 300 feet into a 50 foot high pillar.
" He's so fast , i barely saw him coming ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" I'm the fastest among the Números that are not Fracción. I'm also one of the rare Números that can do Gemelos Sonído " Fran said to Ichigo.
" Gemelos Sonído ? " Ichigo asked.
" You're not familiar with that ? Allow me to show you Gemelos Sonído (Spanish for Sound Twins)" Fran chanted as he creates 2 clones of himself.
" So, clones ? I've seen that trick 9,000 times already " Ichigo stated thinking back to his fight with Naruto. He blocks one of the clone's kick only to be punched by the real deal.
" By adding in a few extra steps,i can create a clone of myself. Truthfully,it's akin to playing a magic tricks are meant to surprise the opponent, so please don't be embarrassed if you couldn't follow what i did and were startled because of it , just because you fought someone using this technique before doesn't mean it's anything comparable to my own " Fran explained to Ichigo.
" You're technique is hardly anything special Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo shouted as he swings his Shikai to fire a powerful blast towards Fran .
" Estampido Supersonico ( Spanish for Sonic Boom) " Fran countered as he creates supersonic blast with his wings which negates the blast and causes Ichigo's ears to hurt so badly that bloods comes out of them and blood comes out of them .
" Shit , i can't hear anything ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to hear.
" My Estampido Supersonico ( Spanish for Sonic Boom) creates a airwave that is 4 times faster than the speed of sound, it's a high-end supersonic blast wave that no one except an Espada can dodge . The vibrations from my wings are powerful enough to damage the person from the inside out . These wings amplifies the sound that is generated inside to it's maximum, like a speaker however using my Reiatsu, i can channel it into the body of the person " Fran explained to Ichigo as Ichigo drops to his knees.
" Damn, my body is barely moving ! " Ichigo shouted only to see 3 clones surround him flying 300 feet high and each 500 feet from him.
" Time for the finishing blow Tercera Estampido Supersonico ( Spanish for Triple Sonic Boom) " Fran chanted as his 2 clones all put there hands out and flap their wings firing a massive jet of supersonic wind from the flapping of their wings at Ichigo which creates a 300 foot radius wave of wind however the wind clears up to reveal that Ichigo is in his Bankai state.
" Allow me to show you real speed ! " Ichigo stated as he dashes towards Fran .
" Fine then , take this ! " Fran shouted as he comes at Ichigo with a punch moving at 4,525.8 feet per second(3,058 MPH).
Fran and Ichigo crossed attacks with each and both land 300 feet from each other. Fran however is cut deeply across the shoulder and falls on his knees as his attack wasn't nearly fast enough to hit Ichigo.
" That blow was Mach 4 right ? That's far too slow to hit me in this state , i move up to Mach 11 in my Bankai state " Ichigo explained to Fran.
" It's not over yet, it's 3 on 1 .Think you can take me ? " Fran said to Ichigo.
" I know i can ! " Ichigo answered as he stands there arrogant and ready to attack .
" Tercera Estampido Supersonico ( Spanish for Triple Sonic Boom) " Fran chanted as his 2 clones all put there hands out and flap their wings firing a massive jet of supersonic wind from the flapping of their wings at Ichigo but Ichigo effortlessly dodges it and he cuts them down with a Shunpo slash.
" Damn it ! " Fran shouted as he falls to the floor .
" Now to end you ! " Ichigo shouted as he charges up a Getsuga Tenshō within his blade.
" Take This ! " Dordoni shouted as he hits Ichigo in the back with a Cero causing him to flinch a bit .
" Dordoni ! " Fran said to the Arrancar as he appears with Cirucci and Gantenbainne.
" More Arrancars to be slaughtered huh ? You guys keep appearing like cockroaches within this dump you call a home " Ichigo said to the Parrvion.
" You son of a bitch. You're killing members of our race ! " Cirucci shouted.
" We can't let you go here unpunished here ! " Gantenbainne replied.
" Just who are you guys and how you intend to stop me ? " Ichigo asked them .
" Cirucci Thunderwitch , former 10th Espada and 105th Arrancar and i'm going to waste you for killing my Fracción Loly and Menoly " Cirucci answered.
" Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio former 6th Espada and current 7th Espada " Dordoni answered ,this time in a much more serious tone.
" Gantenbainne Mosqueda, former 7th Espada and current Arrancar 107 " Gantenbainne stated.
" Ha, you guys think i can't take three of you out ? I fought 4 Espada level Arrancars and neither of them have been able to defeat me " Ichigo arrogantly taunted.
" So you think you can take us all by yourself huh ? How foolish are you ? " Cirucci shouted.
" That's loco. You're no match for us combined , just give it up " Gantenbainne stated.
" Arrogant Ninos need to be punished ! " Dordoni replied.
" Then bring it on ! " Ichigo taunted.
" Whirl Giralda (Spanish for Weather Vane) " Dordoni chanted as he releases his weapon without sheathing his sword. Two enormous cyclones come from exhaust spouts on the armor covering his legs, wo bird-like extensions jut out from these cyclones.
" Dragra (龍拳 Dragon Fist)" Gantenbainne chanted as his arms grow longer and become covered in dome-shaped, armor plates, and the punching daggers come to resemble dragon heads. Similar plates also extend down his back and form a tail, giving him an appearance similar to an armadillo. He pulls his mask fragment over his eyes in combat.
" Rip Off Golondrina ( Spanish for Swallow )" Cirucci chants as large wings sprout from Cirucci's back, with each having ten crescent-shaped blades on them in place of feathers. Her mask becomes a beak-like headpiece with a large, feathery mane protruding from it, covering most of her body and trailing past her legs. She also gains a long, prehensile tail, which emerges from her back. Large pieces of armor that resemble the disc of Golondrina's sealed state form around her shoulders. In addition, her arms become long and slender, with large claws.
" Now things are really heating up ! " Ichigo replied as he charges up his Getsuga.
Meanwhile at Aizen's Throne Room
Aizen ,Gin and Tōusen are drinking tea watching the monitor when Wonderweiss appears wondering what's going on .
" Ichigo's current Bankai level is at 50,000 RYK. Looks like Ichigo lost alot of Reiatsu fighting Szayel " Gin said to Aizen.
" It's not that , Ichigo can't fully control his Reiatsu . His Battle with Naruto has caused him to lose his ability to control his Reiatsu entirely. At it's lowest state, his Bankai is only 50,000 RYK while at it's highest level it's at 200,000 RYK . Fighting countless Arrancars and several Espada does take it toll on his body. He's still only a human, no matter how powerful he becomes " Aizen explained to Gin.
" ... " Wonderweiss grunted pulling on Tōusen's robe.
" What is it Wonderweiss ? " Tōusen asked the little Arrancar.
" UUUU ! " Wonderweiss answered as he points at the screen .
" Looks like he's quite fond of you ! " Gin said to Tōusen.
" Pure beings are fond of each other, although i'm not quite sure where his pureness lies yet " Tōusen stated.
" Interesting him not liking me makes sense now ! " Gin stated.
" To be honest, i believe anyone would be wary of you but more importantly, look at his foes " Aizen replied.
" The Privaron Espada ! " Gin said to Aizen.
" PPPARRAVV...ION ? " Wonderweiss asked.
" You're barely arrived here, so you barely know about the Privaron Espada . Allow me to explain , the 3 digit numbers is the proof of their rank, those who are between 101 and 110 have all been demoted from the Espadas . All of them are far above Lieutenant level and are at least Low Tier Captain level " Tōusen answered.
Meanwhile at sector 22 floor 694
Orihime is brought to the room where Skullak walks her over to see the body remnants of Aaroniero to the morgue with it's mask fragments in a sandwich bag next to a unreleased dead Yammy who was cut in half lying next to a decapitated Menoly . Rudbornn is lying their dead with a hole through his torso like Demoura , Loly has also been cut in half and lying there dead next to a bag of ashes that is labeled " Aisslinger ". Several Calaveras bring in a few more dead bodies.
" Orihime , heal these people ! " Skullak said to Orihime.
" No, i refuse ! " Orihime replied.
" What do you mean no ? " Skullak asked.
" You guys are monsters, i saw through the charade that you guys were trying to do. You were hoping i become one of you right ? Not happening , Ichigo is here and he's going to rescue me from this place. I can't let myself be intimidated by the likes of you " Orihime explained to Skullak.
" This isn't about that. I was hoping that you'll be like us, so we can be friends " Skullak stated.
" You people attack my town, nearly kill my friends and you just want to be friends ? Bullshit i'm not doing it " Orihime replied.
" I had nothing to do with that attack, listen just heal the bodies " Skullak said to Orihime.
" No ! " Orihime replied only to see Skullak draw her sword.
" Listen Orihime , i don't like using force but i'll do anything to get my friends back . Don't temp me " Skullak shouted as he holds his blade towards her.
" Why are you threatening to kill me ? Lord Aizen doesn't approve of this " Orihime asked only to see the blade get closer.
" I don't care what Lord Aizen said, i'll kill you if you don't heal my friends " Skullak answered .
" Why do they even matter to you ? Why do you care if they die or not ? Did they not fail you ? " Orihime asked him.
" It doesn't matter at this point , just please revive them ! " Skullak replied.
Back at the sandlot
Ichigo struggles to hold his own against the 7th Espada and the two Privaron Espadas . Ichigo blocks a kick from Dordoni and holds it back only to see Gantenbainne behind him and almost punches Ichigo in the face however he's hit down by Cirucci's left-wing.
" Ha, still think you can take us all with just Bankai ? " Cirucci shouted as Ichigo regains his balance .
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo shouted as he swings his Bankai sword to fire a blast towards Cirucci.
" Absorción ala Cortador ( Spanish for Wing Cutter Absorption ) " Cirucci countered as she disperse the blast with ease.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked.
" Absorción ala Cortador ( Spanish for Wing Cutter Absorption ) uses my feathers and reverses the rotation process of the feather so instead of dispersing and deflecting energy attacks from me, it absorbs them to increase my power or to heal my wounds. These things make up for all the energy i waste in my release form , sorry to rain on your parade but this is where it ends " Cirucci explained to Ichigo.
" Damn , then i'll just need to take you down with a physical strike ! " Ichigo replied as he dashes towards Cirucci.
" Vulcana la Perforación ( Spanish for Vulcan Drilling ) " Dordoni chanted as he does 51 fast kicks per second which has the cyclones peck at Ichigo smacking him into the ground damaging him.
" Damn what speed and strength ! " Ichigo said to himself as he gets back up despite being hit by multiple kicks.
" I got you now Niño ! El Uno Picotear ( Spanish for The One Pecking ) " Dordoni chanted as he uses one of its tornado creatures bit Ichigo's torso with it's jaws.
" ARRGGH ! " Ichigo shouted as he's cut in half by the jaws.
" That was disappointing Niño ! " Dordoni said to Ichigo only to see he bisected an afterimage with Ichigo behind him.
" I got you ! " Ichigo shouted as he comes towards Dordoni only for Gantenbainne to attack.
" Puños de Dragon ( Spanish for Dragon Fist ) " Gantenbainne shouted as he punches Ichigo in the back creating a 100 foot radius explosion sending him flying into a 5 story rock formation. Ichigo emerges out of the rubble feeling on his back.
" Damn what a punch ! " Ichigo said to Gantenbainne .
" That was Puños de Dragon ( Spanish for Dragon Fist ), it combines the power of a Cero with the speed of a Bala with my punches to create a fast and powerful shockwave, giving my punches a much greater range and potency to them " Gantenbainne explained to Ichigo.
" I see, i guess it's time i get serious ! " Ichigo replied as he clashes with Gantenbainne.
Ichigo and Gantenbainne clash strikes with Ichigo blocking his powerful punches within his Bankai state. Ichigo goes to slash Gantenbainne however he dodges the blow and goes punch Ichigo but Ichigo blocks with his sword and cuts Gantenbainne's right arm a bit. Ichigo goes for his attack but Cirucci jumps in and goes for her attacks .
" Let's see you block this ! " Cirucci shouted as she does 12 swipes of her claws at Ichigo but the Shinigami manages to block each hit. Cirucci then swings her tail to knock out the black blade out of Ichigo's hand.
" What the hell ? Those claws are sharp ! " Ichigo said to himself as Cirucci gets her distance and goes to attack the Substitute Shinigami.
" Take this ! " Cirucci shouted as she sends all 10 feather blades towards Kurosaki.
" Shit, got to dodge ! " Ichigo replied as he evades the blades which easily cut down a 10 story pillar. Ichigo then grabs his sword again and comes at the Privaron.
" Too slow ! " Cirucci shouted as she sends out 3 more steel wing feathers towards Ichigo and cut him into 3 pieces however the orange haired Shinigami used another afterimage to escape the attack and come at Cirucci from behind.
Take this ! " Cirucci shouted as she goes to slash Ichigo but he blocks with both hands on his Tantō.
" Damn ! " Ichigo shouted only to see the tail come at him and smack him into the ground.
" Now time to crush the Niño " Dordoni shouted as he goes for a flying kick.
" Saku Getsuga ( 裂く 月牙Ripping Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he swings his sword 20 times at hypersonic speeds to fire a barrage of circular Getsuga Tenshōs which knock Dordoni back and gives Ichigo enough time to react to the attacks.
" This is more like it ! Now i can fight with all my power Niño ! Ave Mellizos ( Spanish for Bird Twins ) " Dordoni chanted as he generates wild and powerful tornadoes which from 12 tornado bird creatures .
" Shit , more of them ! " Ichigo shouted only to see Dordoni come at him with another attack.
" Take this Niño ! " Dordoni said to Ichigo as all 12 tendrils come at Ichigo forcing him to dodge the attacks.
" Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) to cut apart all the tendrils but they regenerate. Ichigo then jumps to attack Dordoni who's 400 feet above Ichigo.
" Get back Dordoni ! " Gantenbainne said to his partner.
" Right ! " Dordoni replied as he jumps out of the way.
" Dios ,Ruego Nos Perdone (Spanish for God Forgive Us Pray) " Gantenbainne chanted as he fires a giant yellow flash of energy at Ichigo which creates a massive 600 foot radius explosion.
" ARRGH ! " Ichigo shouted as his back takes some burns before falling down to the sand.
" Now to finish him off ! " Gantenbainne shouted as he dashes at Ichigo with Reiatsu around his right hand.
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he fires a powerful black Getsuga towards Gantenbainne .
" Negación Escudo ( Spanish for Negation Shield ) " Gantenbainne countered as he summons a shield to block the attack but the attack shatters the barrier however stops all damage from the blast itself.
" Looks like he's putting up a fight ! " Cirucci said to the group .
" Nothing less from the guy Aizen had wanted for a while ! " Gantenbainne stated.
" That Niño is tough ! " Dordoni replied.
" Damn it , i need to get more serious . I can't fight all 3 of them in just Bankai state . I'll just attack by their weakness. That woman with the feathers can't be hit by energy attacks however that means she can be hit by sword strikes. That Afro guy has the most amount of raw strength but he lacks speed and the weird guy has speed but not enough power. I'll just have to advantage of their weak points " Ichigo said to himself as he thinks of a plan.
" Let's quit playing around ! " Cirucci shouted as she sends 10 of her feathers at Ichigo but Ichigo evades them and comes at her with a sword strike.
" I got you now! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to cut her in half.
" Ala Cortadola ( Spanish for Wing Cutter )" Cirucci countered as he reforms her right-wing to block Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu and stop it from cutting her with the wings starting to chip away at Ichigo's blade.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo shouted.
" The spiritual particles around the edges of Golondrina's wings vibrate at a rate of roughly 1,100,000-1,300,000 times per second, increasing their cutting power and allowing them to deflect spiritual particles " Cirucci explained to Ichigo as she pushes his blade down and starts to crack it.
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he struggles to cut through Cirucci's feathers however is only able to hold back the blades and cut through one of the feathers however the Reiatsu from the attack regenerates the feather.
" Fool, trying to use Reishi on my wings is useless ! " Cirucci laughed.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Now die ! " Cirucci shouted as she splits Ichigo in half however it was an afterimage and Ichigo appears around Gantenbainne.
" Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) to confuse Gantenbainne.
" That won't work fool ! " Gantenbainne shouted as he punches the ground creating a 800 foot blast radius which knocks Ichigo into the air.
" Barón Puntapiés Alto ( Spanish for Baron High Kicks) " Dordoni chanted as he uses a backwards kick that sends Ichigo flying 1,250 feet into a 12 story building sized pillar.
" Whoa that failed miserably ! " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to move.
" Let's finish this guys ! " Dordoni said to the two .
" Right ! " Gantenbainne and Cirucci replied as they each go for their finishing moves.
" Picoteo del Ciclón ( Spanish for Pecking Cyclone ) " Dordoni chanted as he spins around in a cyclone forming a 500 foot diameter , 5,000 foot high tornado which then expands 12 tendrils 4 time as long as the tornado spinning around within a 360 degree angle which all hit Ichigo.
" ARRGH ! " Ichigo shouted as he takes a hit from the attack.
" Rugir de Dragon (Spanish for Roar of the Dragon) " Gantenbainne chanted as he puts both hands together and does a powerful two-handed punch that then fires a point-blank range dragon blast that levels everything within a 1,200 foot radius .
" ARRGGH ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to move with blood everywhere.
" Now time for me to end this ! " Cirucci laughed as she charges up energy.
" I got to escape , i can't let myself die , it's too soon ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to escape.
" TOO LATE ! Diez Energía Hojas (Spanish for Ten Energy Blades) " Cirucci chanted as she fires all ten of her feathers homing onto Ichigo as they all explode at the same time as the explosion levels everything within a 1,200 foot radius.
" Looks like he's dead ! " Gantenbainne said to the group as they see the Ichigo fade out as all this time, they hit an afterimage.
" Impossible, that was all an afterimage ! " Cirucci shouted only for Ichigo to appear in front of them .
" Surprise to see me ? Well i guess i have no choice but to fight with all i got " Ichigo said to the group.
" You're bluffing , you're in Bankai form already . You can't get any stronger ! " Dordoni stated.
" Time to end this ! " Ichigo responded as he forms his Hollow mask on his face which forms a black aura around his body which unleashes a powerful gust of wind creating a massive wave of energy engulfing everything within a 1,500 foot radius in a whirlwind.
" What an immense amounts of Chakra ! " Dordoni said to himself as he struggles to avoid being overwhelmed.
The black and red Reiatsu whirlwind clears to reveal Ichigo is now wearing a Hollow mask . The mask is pure white on the right side and possesses a total of ten red stripes. Ichigo's eyes irises become yellow, and he has black sclera and pupils. His body glows with a dark amount of Reiatsu.
" How did he gain that power ? " Cirucci shouted.
" Don't matter, i'm taking him down with my strongest punch , Rugir de Dragon (Spanish for Roar of the Dragon) " Gantenbainne chanted as he puts both hands together and does a powerful two-handed punch that then fires a point-blank range dragon blast but Ichigo puts his left arm out and nonchalantly cancels out the attack barehanded.
" Is that all you got ? " Ichigo asked Gantenbainne.
" Impossible, how did you do that ? " Gantenbainne asked only to get punched through the stomach and cough out blood and falls to the ground unconscious from a single punch from Vizard Ichigo .
" Impossible, he one shotted Gantenbainne with a single punch ! " Dordoni shouted as he stands there shocked to see that happen .
" Doesn't matter, he can't cut this attack Diez Energía Hojas (Spanish for Ten Energy Blades) " Cirucci chanted as she fires all ten of her feathers homing onto Ichigo.
" Child's play ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes all the feather blades hundreds of times similar to the way he canceled out Byakuya's Bankai.
" Impossible, he sliced my feathers into thousands of pieces... " Cirucci shouted as she falls to the ground noticing that she has a large gash on her back with Ichigo behind her.
" Sorry but you're far too slow to hit me with an attack " Ichigo said to Cirucci as she falls down.
" I got to get out of here and get these guys to safety we stand no chance against ... " Dordoni said to himself only to be slashed through the chest by Ichigo.
" That was far too slow ! " Ichigo said to the group as all three of them fall to the ground defeated.
Meanwhile at sector 22 floor 694
Skullak senses Cirucci falling to the ground with her Reiatsu decreasing.
" No, NO ! " Skullak shouted as he punches the wall .
" What's going on ? " Orihime asked as she brings back Loly and Menoly first.
" Cirucci is down, stay here . I'll get her , please revive her " Skullak said to Orihime as he rushes out to retrieve Cirucci and his fallen comrades.
" He really does seem to care for these guys, maybe not all Arrancars are that bad after all " Orihime said to herself as she finishes reviving Loly and Menoly .
Loly is the first to wake up as well as Menoly.
" Where are we ? " Loly asked as she looks at Menoly.
" How are we still alive ? " Menoly asked only to see Orihime there.
" I brought you girls back from the dead " Orihime answered.
" Impossible, there's no way a mere human has that much power " Loly shouted .
" Yeah, like i'll buy that ! " Menoly stated only to see Orihime bring back Aisslinger from ashes .
" I'm alive again ! " Aisslinger shouted as he gets back up.
" Impossible just what the hell is she ? " Loly asked Menoly shocked to learn Orihime's true power.
" She's a monster, what the hell is this woman god ? " Menoly answered.
Back at the Sandlot
Ichigo sees the Privaron Espada still alive from the attacks that took them down but are struggling to move. Ichigo removes his mask and is in his Bankai state and comes towards them .
" You bastards are still alive ? " Ichigo said to the group.
" Why did you attack this place ? " Dordoni asked him.
" I came here for Orihime and to exterminate the Arrancar threat " Ichigo answered.
" You arrogant son of a bitch, you think that you can kill all the Arrancars yourself ? You're dumber than i thought " Cirucci stated as she coughs up blood.
" We'll see who get's the last laugh ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to stab Cirucci .
The blade is then blocked by Grimmjow who appears in front of him.
" Ichigo, what's up ? " Grimmjow asked with a smile on his face.
" You again ? " Ichigo asked Grimmjow.
" You created quite a mess here, mind i join the party you're throwing ? " Grimmjow asked .
" Trust me buddy, you're among the people i'm tempted to kill the most out of anyone within Las Noches " Ichigo replied.
" Ha, did you forget how your little Bankai couldn't do shit to me ? " Grimmjow arrogantly laughed as he stands there.
" Did you forget how my Bankai's attack gave you that scar ? " Ichigo answered .
" Not a bad counter hopefully you're fighting as improved as much as your comebacks . But i doubt i need to even use my sword for this fight " Grimmjow arrogantly stated.
" Then it's time i stopped holding back ! " Ichigo replied as he raises his Reiatsu.
" Damn right , Unless you wanna die ! " Grimmjow shouted as he goes to punch Ichigo however Ichigo catches his punch and kicks Grimmjow in the face and sends him flying 300 feet into the air with Ichigo flying into the air holding his sword with both hands.
" Time to end this ! Kuroi Getsuga( 黒月牙Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo shouted as he fires the blast towards Grimmjow which hits him directly.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Grimmjow has light burns on his arms from the blast with his sword drawn out .
" Damn , i wasn't expecting this much of an improvement from you. You little shit ! " Grimmjow shouted only to see Ichigo in front of him.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he swings with both hands on his blade pushing back Grimmjow then uses Shunpo to appear behind Grimmjow.
" What the hell ? " Grimmjow asked himself only to see Ichigo behind him.
" Am i still too slow Grimmjow ? " Ichigo asked the Arrancar as he creates an air pressure wave which smacks Grimmjow into the ground 650 feet away from the Privaron Espada.
Grimmjow gets back up from the attack and gets serious.
" That's it , playtime is over ! " Grimmjow shouted as he sees Ichigo come at him with a dashing slash and he fires a Cero at Ichigo.
" A Cero ? " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to hold back the Cero but it's then cut in half by the Bankai. Grimmjow then appears behind Ichigo and goes to attack the Substitute Shinigami .
" Take this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he clashes blades with Ichigo and push each other 200 feet apart .
Ichigo and Grimmjow clash attacks again this time struggling to overpower each other with sword strikes . Grimmjow goes for a one-handed vertical slash but Ichigo blocks the blade with both hands on the grip . Both of them go on top of a 30 foot diameter , 300 foot high red pillar like building to clash strikes. Ichigo blocks a stab from Grimmjow only for Grimmjow to charge up a Cero .
" Crap , not again ! " Ichigo shouted .
" Die ! " Grimmjow shouted as he fires a Cero towards Ichigo.
" Kuro Tsukigata ( 黒月形 Black Crescent Moon ) " Ichigo countered as he swings his sword 360 degrees to create a barrier like blast to deflect the attack. Grimmjow then uses Sonído to appear behind Ichigo.
" I got you now ! " Grimmjow shouted as Ichigo blocks the blade with both hands while Grimmjow removes one hand on his sword while holding back Ichigo and charges up a Cero coming close to Ichigo's face.
" SHIT !" Ichigo shouted as his head is blown off from the explosion.
" Looks like i win in the end ! " Grimmjow arrogantly taunted only to see it was an afterimage .
" Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) confusing Grimmjow.
" Where to hit ? " Grimmjow shouted only to see they all attack at once,'
" I got you ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to slash Grimmjow but Grimmjow dodges the attack.
" Hahahahahaha! This is great, with you i can fight at full strength ! " Grimmjow stated.
" Good because i came here to crush you and all other Arrancars " Ichigo replied.
" So you wanna kill me ? I like that , don't hesitate to come with me with the intent to kill because i'll choke the life out of you and prove which one is stronger " Grimmjow shouted as both of them dash at each other again.
Ichigo and Grimmjow clash attacks with each other. Grimmjow goes to slash Ichigo but Ichigo dodges via backflip and blocks a second strike while backfilping . Ichigo and Grimmjow clash 10 blows with each other until clashing again which they struggle to overpower another.
" Not bad huh ? " Ichigo asked Grimmjow.
" I have a question for you , why did you come here alone ? " Grimmjow asked.
" Are you retarded ? I'm here to rescue Orihime and kill all the Arrancars " Ichigo answered.
" I see, still what would you do if i were to tell you that we managed to hurt Orihime mentally " Grimmjow stated.
" You bastards ! What did you do to Orihime ? " Ichigo shouted as he pushes back Grimmjows blade.
" That's more like it . You said you're here to kill us Arrancars, looks like you finally followed the path of your instincts. It's amazing how much alike you are from us Ichigo " Grimmjow explained to Ichigo.
" You're wrong, i'm nothing like you monsters . You're all arrogant, heartless and brutal and you hurt innocent lives " Ichigo shouted.
" And you're any different ? What if those hollows you been killing all this time were no different than humans and the way you went by killing them is like that of an Arrancar " Grimmjow stated as he clashes attacks with Ichigo again.
" Shut up ! Don't compare me to an Arrancar ! " Ichigo replied as he pushes back Grimmjow and then dashes at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) cutting Grimmjow's shoulder.
" Son of a bitch ! " Grimmjow shouted only to see Ichigo above him.
" Take this Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō which pushes Grimmjow back a mile away cutting through everything it it's path . The powerful explosion clears to reveal that Ichigo's Black Getsuga created a 1/4 mile long , 30 feet deep , 5 feet wide fissure.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Grimmjow managed to survive with similar injuries to the ones he suffered in the last encounter. Grimmjow managed to block the attack but sustained a large burn on his chest and a massive cut extending from his right thigh to his left shoulder as well a cut on both of his wrists and the left side of his pants.
" Damn, that murderous look in your eyes . I love that look on your face , you earned yourself worthy of my release from. Now time to get down to business ! Grind Pantera(Spanish for Panther)" Grimmjow shouted as he holds it up, like the start of a low sweep stroke, with his right hand. The sword glows as he puts his left hand up to it. He then takes his hand along the length of the blade, with a swift motion, while calling out its release command, in turn releasing a torrent of spiritual power that causes tremendous gusts of wind in the immediate area. Wind gust engulf everything within a 2,000 foot radius
Grimmjow emerges out of the torrent of wind with his appearance drastically changed to something more feline and predatory. His teeth become jagged and sharp, his hands turn into black claws and his feet become black clawed paws, similar to that of a cat, along with a slender whip-like tail. His hair becomes very long and flowing, and the markings around his eyes enlarge and extend to the tips of his ears, which become cat-like. He lost his distinctive jaw mask, which is replaced by a sort of a headgear on his forehead. His clothing changed to become a form-fitting white segmented armor. He has blades protruding from his forearms and his calves.
" What happened to your injuries from earlier ? " Ichigo asked.
" You see when an Arrancar releases his sword, they are healed of minor wounds . Not only that but we gain increases in speed, strength, stamina, durability and spiritual power, Now let me show you my true power ROOAAGH ! " Grimmjow roared creating a 500 foot shockwave just by screaming slightly overwhelming Ichigo.
" What the hell ? He just created a shockwave just from screaming ! " Ichigo said to himself only to see Grimmjow dash towards him at 32,083.3 ft/sec(21,875 MPH) right in front of Ichigo.
" Here i come Ichigo ! " Grimmjow shouted .
Grimmjow and Ichigo clash attacks with each other even more. Ichigo tries to move out the way but Grimmjow punches Ichigo through several 300 foot pillars and a mile through the sandlot and before he can recover, Grimmjow kicks him up into the air . Ichigo turns around to look behind him only to see Grimmjow attacking him, Grimmjow slams him with a claw strike into the ground causing a 2,000 foot explosion. Ichigo is bleeding from his head with a slash wound on his chest and his robe has been damaged.
" What's wrong, you can do better than that ! " Grimmjow mocked Ichigo.
" Take this Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō hitting Grimmjow head on and creating a powerful explosion that levels everything within a 1,000 foot radius however Grimmjow is unfazed by the blast and laughs like a maniac.
" Now you're talking , eyes...i hate those goddamn eyes so much! And that's the reason you must die !" Grimmjow shouted.
" So that wasn't enough huh ? Time to end this ! " Ichigo responded as he forms his Hollow mask on his face which forms a black aura around his body which unleashes a powerful gust of wind creating a massive wave of energy engulfing everything within a 1,500 foot radius in a whirlwind.
" What an immense amounts of Reiatsu ! " Grimmjow said to himself as he struggles to avoid being overwhelmed.
The black and red Reiatsu whirlwind clears to reveal Ichigo is now wearing a Hollow mask . The mask is pure white on the right side and possesses a total of ten red stripes. Ichigo's eyes irises become yellow, and he has black sclera and pupils. His body glows with a dark amount of Reiatsu.
" You're finished ! " Ichigo said in a deeper tone as he uses Shunpo to move at 32,083 ft/sec (21,875 MPH ) and hit Grimmjow with his Bankai to cut a deep gash going through the skin and cutting the muscles tissue from his right shoulder and right pectoral ab to his groin . The force of the swing creates a large 49 foot deep , 180 foot diameter crater producing 512 Tons of TNT and leveling 15,200 meters ^ 3 of rock.
" ARRGH ! " Grimmjow shouted as he staggers back.
" Got you ! " Ichigo taunted only for Grimmjow to strike.
" Take this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he fires a Bala from his right hand which hits Ichigo back 20 feet and damages his chest.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as he holds onto his chest.
Meanwhile at Barragan's palace
Choe, Findor and Gigo are watching the battle from the rooftop as they see Grimmjow and Ichigo clashing at hypersonic speeds.
" What is this Shinigami ? " Choe asked the group.
" Whoever he is, his power is very high ! " Findor answered.
" He'll easily defeat any of us . It's amazing how strong he is " Gigo stated.
" Agreed, this is a battle of the Espada . For a young kid , he can hold his own well " Barragan replied.
Sandlot
8:15 P.M. Grimmjow in his Pantera mode clashes with Vizard mask Ichigo in a battle of high-speed attacks. Grimmjow comes at Ichigo with a claw slash but the Substitute Shinigami thinks fast and blocks his strike as the energy collision levels everything remaining within a 400 foot radius. Ichigo and Grimmjow jump into the air and go to attack but Grimmjow swings his claw and releases a powerful shockwave of Reiatsu knocking back Ichigo 1 mile away into a 300 foot pillar.
" This guy isn't going down so easily , he keeps coming with more destructive force by the second. His Reiatsu fells endless whereas my Vizard mask has it's limits. I only managed to increase the time limit of my Hollow Mask from 2 minutes when i fought Hiyori to 5 minutes at max . 2 minutes has passed by so far and it just feels he's not even coming close to slowing down. I wish i could process that much control of my power " Ichigo said to himself as he sees Grimmjow dash at him .
Grimmjow and Ichigo charge at each other again and clash attacks creating another 400 foot radius shockwave which Ichigo blocks Grimmjow's right claw with his Bankai. Grimmjow goes for an elbow to the back of Ichigo's head but the orange haired Shinigami intercepts the blow blocking with his Bankai. Grimmjow aims a kick to Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the Espada's kick and counters with a slash aimed at the chest but the tough Hierro blocks the strike.
Grimmjow and Ichigo then come at each other again. The Substitute Shinigami aims for a strike at Grimmjow's legs but the panther like Arrancar jumps over the strike and uses Sonído and aims a slash at Ichigo's back but Ichigo dodges the attack only to get hit by one of the tails and sent flying 1 mile west into another pillar .
" Damn it, he's not going down ! Crap, only 150 seconds left ! " Ichigo said to himself as his Vizard mask starts to chip.
" DIE ! " Grimmjow shouted as he comes charging at him.
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he fires a powerful wave of energy but Grimmjow blocks with an energy shield around him.
" You need to do better than that ! " Grimmjow shouted.
" He shielded that attack with nothing but Reiatsu ? This isn't good. I'll need to hit him when his defenses are low " Ichigo said to himself as he dodges a claw swipe aimed at his head and counters by slashing Grimmjow across the chest but it was only a slight cut .
" RAAGH ! " Grimmjow shouted as he charges up a Cero in his mouth and fires a blue Cero from his mouth which creates a massive shockwave leveling everything within a 2,000 foot radius however Ichigo uses his Reiatsu to shield himself from the explosion.
" You're not the only one who can use their Reiatsu as protection ! " Ichigo stated as he comes at Grimmjow again.
Ichigo sees Grimmjow lunging at him with a high-speed punch but Ichigo blocks the attack. Ichigo then dodges a kick from Grimmjow and then blocks an elbow strike from Grimmjow and pushes him back with a horizontal slash which lightly cuts Grimmjow's chest and the Espada is pushed back however Grimmjow gets back up and rebounds straight towards the Substitute Shinigami.
" Take this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he hits Ichigo dead on and create a massive 3,000 foot radius explosion sending Ichigo flying 1 mile southwest into a pillar where Ichigo goes 20 feet through the ground.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo said to himself as the mask has chipped away from his right eye and forehead exposing half of the right side of his face from eye to his hair.
" Come on , fight me Ichigo ! " Grimmjow shouted as he dashes towards Ichigo.
" I got to take him down with this next attack ! " Ichigo said to himself as he sees Grimmjow come at him.
Grimmjow and Ichigo clash attacks with each other again . Grimmjow evades a slash from Ichigo's Bankai and goes for a double claw slash but Ichigo dodges the strike and kicks the Espada in the counters with a dropkick into Ichigo's face knocking Ichigo back into a pile of debris 20 feet high.
" Take this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he charges up a Cero and then punches the ground creating a fissure wave extending towards Ichigo but Ichigo uses Shunpo to escape as the blast from Grimmjow creates a 530 foot long , 30 feet deep fissure .
Ichigo then uses Shunpo to do a fast slash but Grimmjow blocks with his tail. Ichigo goes for a vertical slash but Grimmjow uses Sonído to get above Ichigo and goes for a sneak attack but Ichigo appears behind him and hits Grimmjow down with a powerful sword slash that smashes down the ground creating a 500 foot radius implosion wave.
" 2 minutes left ! " Ichigo said to himself as he sees Grimmjow get back up and come at him again.
Ichigo and Grimmjow go a running slash and they clash attacks yet again. Grimmjow is cut across the shoulder as well as Ichigo but Grimmjow manages to push Ichigo.
" Not bad but try this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he throws 3 punches towards Ichigo but Ichigo uses Shunpo to get behind Grimmjow and swings down his sword.
" I got you now ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to slash Grimmjow.
" Take this ! Garra de la Pantera ( Spanish for Claw of the Panther) " Grimmjow shouted as he hits Ichigo dead on with 5 darts which hit Ichigo directly into his chest and knocks him down.
" That was nothing ! " Ichigo shouted while ignoring his injuries.
" You're out of breath , don't give me bullshit that it didn't hurt " Grimmjow said to Ichigo as he shoots a dart into a pillar which causes the skyscraper size pillar to explode on impact with ease.
" What was that ? " Ichigo asked.
" I hit you with 5 of these attacks already, it's amazing you're still standing . These darts can slice through hills with enough effort . You're powerful but your still human, you're at your limit " Grimmjow explained to Ichigo.
" At my limit ? Not even close ! " Ichigo replied as he repairs his mask and gets ready to fight.
" You're tough but i like that, i'm going to rip you to shreds " Grimmjow shouted only for his forehead piece to crack.
" You look pretty banged up yourself ! " Ichigo stated.
" Nah, you're wrong too ! " Grimmjow replied as he charges onto Ichigo and they both clash attacks.
Grimmjow and Ichigo charge at each other again and clash attacks creating another 400 foot radius shockwave which Ichigo blocks Grimmjow's right claw with his goes for an elbow to the back of Ichigo's head but the orange haired Shinigami intercepts the blow blocking with his Bankai. Grimmjow aims a kick to Ichigo but Ichigo dodges the kick and counters with a slash aimed at the chest .
Grimmjow then gains a speed boost and moves at dash at 49,500 ft/sec(33,750 MPH). Ichigo barely dodges a slash aimed at his head only to be hit by a Bala to the face . Grimmjow goes to attack Ichigo up close with his right hand but the Substitute Shinigami dodges the attack. Grimmjow goes for a series of fast punches and goes for a haymaker but Ichigo blocks with his Bankai and goes to slash Grimmjow but the Espada dodges the blow . Ichigo blocks a devastating kick from Grimmjow and goes for a stab towards Grimmjow's left arm but the Espada uses Sonido to dodge the strike and go behind Ichigo to do an elbow strike but Ichigo jumps above the attack only to get hit with a punch that he narrowly blocks .
" I got you now ! " Grimmjow stated as he fires 3 Balas at Ichigo.
" Time for a speed boost Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo stated as he creates 12 afterimages of themselves moving at 60,000ft/sec(40,900 MPH) and manages to outrun all the Balas
" Try dodging this ! " Grimmjow shouted as he fires a massive 10 foot diameter Cero towards Ichigo .
" Kuro Tsukigata ( 黒月形 Black Crescent Moon ) " Ichigo countered as he swings his sword 360 degrees to create a barrier like blast to deflect the attack. Grimmjow sends another Bala at Ichigo but Ichigo uses his Reiatsu to bypass the blast and hit Grimmjow
" Damn it ! " Grimmjow shouted as the impact of Ichigo's sword slashes deeply into Grimmjow's right arm .
" Now i got you ! I got used to your attacks ! " Ichigo said to Grimmjow as his mask is 75% gone with only his upper left side covered.
" I see, then i'll have to step things up and crush you to bits " Grimmjow shouted as he shoots another Bala at Ichigo.
" I only have one minute left , i got to figure out that kids attacks . So far what i deducted is that he attacks blindly and has little regard for defense unless i shoot an Getsuga Tenshō at him. Now i know how to beat him " Ichigo said to himself as he goes to attack Grimmjow " Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo stated as he creates 12 afterimages of themselves moving at 60,000ft/sec(40,900 MPH).
" He thinks he can beat me , think again ? " Grimmjow said to himself as he shoots out 12 Balas to attack Ichigo at once but they hit the afterimages.
" Got you ! " Ichigo shouted while in mid-air as he swings down his Bankai and creates a cloud of dust blinding Grimmjow .
" He created a smokescreen to conceal himself ! " Grimmjow said to himself as he sees Ichigo attack from the right side. Grimmjow charges up a Cero.
" Getsuga Tenshō " Ichigo shouted as he fires a blue wave of energy at Grimmjow uses a Cero to cancel it out.
" Is that all you got ? " Grimmjow taunted only to see Ichigo behind him.
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō which pushes Grimmjow back 4 miles away cutting through everything it it's path . The powerful explosion clears to reveal that Ichigo's Black Getsuga created a mile long , 30 feet deep , 5 feet wide fissure.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Grimmjow has a nasty gash across his chest and blood coming out of his chest.
" You bastard ! " Grimmjow shouted as he struggles to stand from the attack.
" Give it up Grimmjow , you have no chance of winning ! " Ichigo said to Grimmjow.
" You bastard, i'll never give up ! " Grimmjow replied as he charges up a blue Cero at Ichigo.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked as he sees the Cero charge up.
" This is a Cero that only the Espada can use, Gran Rey Cero " Grimmjow shouted as he fires the blue energy blast,the blast spins like a razor upon release as it compresses and decompresses . It hit's Ichigo directly but Ichigo was able to block with his Bankai blade and tries to push it back .
" There's no use blocking this blow . Gran Rey Cero can't be blocked with such a weak guard , now die " Grimmjow stated as he pushes Ichigo a mile away.
" Shit ! " Ichigo shouted as the blast creates a 4,000 foot radius explosion causing the fortress to shake a bit .
" I got you now Ichigo ! " Grimmjow shouted as he then looks at the smoke to see Ichigo with half his Bankai robe gone with blood covering his left arm and burns revealing Ichigo took some damage from the attacks.
" Damn, that attack was powerful ! " Ichigo said to Grimmjow.
" Don't give me that look. It's like this every time. No matter how badly i beat you up, you always act like you're going to win in the end . You think you're stronger than me ! I'm sick of that thinking " Grimmjow ranted as he comes at Ichigo and goes to strike but Ichigo blocks with his blade.
" Sick of what ? Being treated as an equal by a mere human ? ! I think i've been taking you lightly because no Arrancar is equal to a human" Ichigo asked as he pushes Grimmjow back.
" I don't care if you're a human,Shinigami or Arrancar ! I'll crush every last person who looks down on me " Grimmjow replied as he leaps 500 feet into the air
" What are you doing ? " Ichigo asked Grimmjow .
" You'll be the first one to perish in my attack, Desgarrón ( Spanish for Tear ) " Grimmjow chanted as his claws glow and then he makes a slashing motion that creates giant "claws" of solidified energy from the end of each finger.
" What is that ? " Ichigo asked.
" Desgarrón ( Spanish for "Tear ) My greatest technique. With this, i'll crush you " Grimmjow answered as he sends his right claws towards Ichigo pushing Ichigo back 1,200 feet.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted.
" You're finished Ichigo Kurosaki ! " Grimmjow shouted as he drags Ichigo a mile away and then goes to strike Ichigo with his other energy claw.
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings his sword and then leaps up to cut through the blue energy claw waves and dashes towards Grimmjow.
" Impossible , he broke through my Desgarrón ! " Grimmjow shouted.
" I'll crush you Grimmjow, ill make your entire organization pay and take Orihime back with me ! I can't afford to lose to you, Grimmjow ! I must crush all the Espadas " Ichigo shouted as Grimmjow is unable to move.
" Shit ! " Grimmjow shouted.
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō .
The blast levels everything within a 4,000 foot radius and knocks Grimmjow back to where the Privaron Espada where at.
Meanwhile at sector 22 floor 694
Orihime finishes bringing back Aaroniero to live from the mask fragments in a sandwich bag next to a unreleased dead Yammy who was cut in half . Menoly and Loly are there watching her heal Arrancars with no effort. Rudbornn is standing there with Aisslinger and Demoura.
" Incredible, how is it that a human processes this level of power ? " Aisslinger asked the others.
" That girls like an angel ! " Demoura answered.
" I don't know how i'm alive but i must thank her somehow ! " Rudbornn said to the group.
" You're amazing Orihime ! " Loly said to Inoue.
" Indeed, we owe you our lives ! " Menoly stated as Aaroniero gets back up .
" We're one again, perfect ! " Aaroniero said to themselves as they walk away from the room only for Ulquiorra to come with the mutilated body of Szayel and place it next to Yammy.
" Alright guys, the ones who have been recently revived would come with me to gather the rest of the slain Arrancars and bring them back to this room " Ulquiorra commanded the group.
" Right ! " all of them replied as they leave to get the bodies left in Ichigo's wake.
" Ichigo, please come for me soon ! " Orihime said to herself as she starts to heal more dead Arrancars.
Meanwhile at sector 22 floor 294
Skullak rushes down the stairs only to bump into Harribel .
" Skullak, where are you heading off to ? " Harribel asked Skullak.
" I'm heading out to save Cirucci, the Shinigami is planning to kill her " Skullak answered.
" So you're looking to kill him too ? That bastard hurt Rey " Harribel stated.
" What about your Fracción ? Where are they ? " Skullak asked.
" There with Starrk, safe from the chaos outside ! " Harribel stated.
" Good, it would be bad if they're weren't ! " Skullak replied as they both head down the stairs.
Sandlot
8:20 P.M. Ichigo is finished eating another chunk of Szayel's Fracción's flesh to restore all his Reiatsu and heal all wounds . Ichigo is notably disgusted .
" This tastes horrible , worst yet i have to eat this to move forward " Ichigo said to himself.
" It helps us greatly ! " Zangetsu answered.
" I only have one more left, looking back at it, i should've carve up that Arrancar to more chunks but i was too disgusted with the idea of having to eat this shit . Still i saw how that Arrancar healed himself , these Espadas are far stronger than i thought. I didn't think that even with my current level of power that i would have so much trouble against Grimmjow " Ichigo explained to Zangetsu.
" Makes me wonder about the other 5 Espadas , how can you hope to best them all if you struggled against the 6th Espada ? " Zangetsu asked Ichigo.
" Simple, i have yet to use my strongest technique ! " Ichigo answered.
" You mean the Getsuga Kussakuyari (月牙掘削槍 Moon Fang Drilling Lance ) ? " Zangetsu asked.
" Yes, i could've ended the battle without using my Hollow Mask if i used that technique " Ichigo answered .
" What do you mean ? " Zangetsu asked.
" It goes back to my battles within Konoha ! " Ichigo stated as he goes into flashback mode.

When i was fighting that Lee guy, he turned into his fifth Gate and was Starting to overwhelm my Bankai state.
" Fifth gate: Gate of Limit (杜門, Tomon) " Lee shouted as his body starts to glow and the ground beneath me shook and broke causing rocks to shoot up as a jet of Green Chakra shot up into the air . Lee unleashed an immense surge in power has created a massive 1,500 foot tornado around the area and sucked up anything nearby him sucking up the ruins of the neighborhood.
" Damn it, what an immense whirlwind, all this caused by simply releasing his Charka ? " i said to myself as i struggled to see him.
" Here i come Ichigo ! " Lee stated as he dashes at 60,000ft/sec(40,900 MPH) moving so fast that i couldn't even see him .
" He's too fast, i can't react ! " i stated as i barely blocked Lee's punch with my Bankai only to be sent flying 1,000 feet westward. Lee then appeared right in front of him.
" Come on Ichigo, show me your full power so we can fight as warriors. I guarantee holding back on me won't help you anymore " Lee said to me as he tries to ignore the strain on his body.
" Save it, i can still win this without hollowifying ! " i replied as he gets back up to fight him.
Strength and speed wise he was almost on par with Grimmjow. I was trying conserve my power for the Nine Tails however he was easily overpowering and speedbilzting my Bankai state. That's when i used my attack.
" Getsuga Kussakuyari (月牙掘削槍 Moon Fang Drilling Lance ) " i chanted as my Bankai becomes a large energy drill i held it with two hands as an aura of my Vizard mask appears over me and my eyes glow blue while my eyeballs were black.
" What is that attack ? " Lee asked.
" This is the result of my training " i answered.
" I see ! " Lee replied.
" You may be a different level than the other Shinobi, but I don't give a shit. It's the same. If I have to beat you, then I'll beat you. That's all there is to it " i said to Lee as i came at Lee charging at him
" Hidden Lotus " Lee chanted as he goes to strike again but i used Shunpo and came down from the sky with my Jutsu.
" Take this ! Getsuga Kussakuyari (月牙掘削槍 Moon Fang Drilling Lance ) " i chanted as i hit Lee with an aerial attack hitting Lee's right and left arms as Lee struggles to block them.
" ARRGH ! " Lee shouted as the blast spins and builds up spiritual energy like a drill inflicting extreme piercing damage as the attack compresses into the body and all the spiritual power hits Lee at once causing a massive 3,000 foot radius explosion .
Present Day
" In short, i can use this technique once every battle . Once i use it, My Bankai shatters and reverts back to sealed form immediately after use for it . I could've beaten Grimmjow without using my mask however i would be left vulnerable to other Espada for another 30 minutes . With my Vizard Mask, the attack should be powerful enough to crush even the top Espada " Ichigo explained to Zangetsu as he then sees Grimmjow get up who is heavily wounded who's reverted to his sealed form.
" Bastard, so you still had some power left in you. I don't lose ...I'll never go down.. to someone like you ! " Grimmjow shouted as he slowly limps to Ichigo and goes to stab Ichigo but Ichigo slashes his blade in half.
" You're done Espada ! " Ichigo shouted as he appears behind Grimmjow and is about to stab Grimmjow .
However the clash of a blade is made as Ichigo knocks back an a massive axe wielded by Nnoitra.
" Damn it, you got in the way ! " Nnoitra said to Ichigo.
" Nnoitra, what the hell are you doing here ? " Nnoitra asked.
" So you came to save your friend ? Well, nothing is going to save him from... " Ichigo asked Nnoitra only to see the axe hit Grimmjow in the back shocking Ichigo.
" Seriously, you're a sore loser Grimmjow , just die already ! " Nnoitra shouted as Grimmjow falls to the ground.
" Shit ! " Grimmjow shouted as he falls to the ground.
" What the hell ? That was your own kind ! " Ichigo shouted.
" He was weak, we don't tolerate weaklings in the Espada . What's your name ,Shinigami ? " Nnoitra asked Ichigo.
" My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and i'm here to kill you all " Ichigo answered.
" Ichigo huh ? You must be that Inoue girls boyfriend . I must say you have a fine catch for a girlfriend " Nnoitra stated.
" What did you bastards do with her ? " Ichigo shouted.
" It doesn't matter, it would barely matter in a second when you're dead ! " Nnoitra replied as he raises his Reiatsu and swings his axe which pushes back Ichigo and Ichigo is forced to block Nnoitra's axe with his Bankai.
" What power. How can someone so skinny be so incredibly strong ? " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to hold back Nnoitra's strike and is sent flying 300 feet away.
" Take this ! " Nnoitra shouted as he swings down his axe while jumping in the air to hit Ichigo but Ichigo blocks with both hands on his Bankai struggling to hold back Nnoitra's one-handed axe swing as the force of the blow creates a 50 foot diameter, 10 foot deep crater.
" Shit, i can't hold it ! " Ichigo stated as he pushes it back a bit and uses Shunpo to dodge another strike.
" Pathetic, that wasn't even a warmup and yet you were that easily overpowered " Nnoitra said to Ichigo.
" I see, you think is the full extent of my Bankai ? Hardly. In fact the problem here is that i'm only getting started. Nothing is stopping me from getting back Orihime " Ichigo explained to Nnoitra.
" That's the kind of line a guy says when he thinks he can rescue a woman and thinks that as long as his woman's safe, he can win ! You think you can get to sector 0 without fighting me ? Think again " Nnoitra asked Ichigo as he shows Ichigo his tongue with the Tattoo # 5 on it.
" 5 ? " Ichigo asked.
" That's my rank. You barely managed to hold your own with this chicken shit pissant here , I'm way stronger than him . Sorry i forgot your name already , oh well it's not going to matter at this point " Nnoitra answered as he pushes back Ichigo 50 feet away with a casual swing.
" Don't underestimate me ! " Ichigo replied as he jumps up and goes to slash Nnoitra but Nnoitra blocks the blow with his axe.
" You got nice moves for a weakling ! " Nnoitra shouted as he knocks Ichigo 500 feet aside.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo stated as he gets back up.
" You thought that you could go all out in the middle of the enemy's base and not be defeated ? I watched your whole fight with Grimmjow. I know all your moves and tricks " Nnoitra explained to Ichigo.
" I see, but can you actually keep up ? " Ichigo answered as he uses Shunpo to get point-blank of Nnoitra.
" He's fast ! " Nnoitra said to himself only to see Ichigo's blade fail to cut even a single layer of his Hierro.
" What the hell ? " Ichigo asked.
" I guess thing only looks sharp. I shouldn't even have bothered to dodge " Nnoitra answered as he headbutts Ichigo and send him flying 100 feet away.
" Damn, his head is as hard as steel ! " Ichigo said to himself only to see Nnoitra standing up.
" You're boring me ! " Nnoitra shouted as he goes to step on Ichigo's head only for Ichigo to block with his Bankai blade.
" I'm not going down , i'm rescuing Orihime ! " Ichigo said to Nnoitra as he goes to attack Nnoitra but the Espada blocks the blade with his wrist and jumps up to attack Ichigo.
Ichigo and Nnoitra clash attacks with each other. They clash with a series of blows however Ichigo is constantly overpowered by Nnoitra's one-handed casual swings while Ichigo struggles to hold it back with both hands on his blade. Ichigo is almost entirely outclassed by Nnoitra 's raw power and Hierro as he struggles to land blows . Ichigo is then kicked in the face by Nnoitra and launched 330 feet away . Nnoitra walks towards Ichigo with an arrogant smile .
" You can't defeat me ! Don't it , attacking me is futile, you can't cut my Hierro . No sword can cut me , i have the strongest Hierro while you wear a stupid necktie on your forehead " Nnoitra said to Ichigo .
" That stupid necktie was something that Orihime gave me, that is the reason why i came here to Las Noches , to rescue her ! " Ichigo replied as he generates enough Reiatsu and slashes Nnoitra lightly across the chest.
" What the hell ? " Nnoitra asked as he sees a light cut on his chest.
" So much for indestructible , time to come at you with my Bankai's full power ! " Ichigo shouted as he comes at Nnoitra .
" I got you now. Don't get so happy you got a lucky slash on me ! " Nnoitra shouted only to see Ichigo behind him.
" Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at 12,833 ft/sec ( 8,750 MPH) to confuse Nnoitra.
" He's fast ! " Nnoitra shouted only to see Ichigo behind him .
" You're strong but you lack speed . Try dodging this ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to stab Nnoitra only to see Nnoitra block the blow.
" Bastard ! " Nnoitra shouted.
" What's wrong ? You 're looking pretty nervous " Ichigo arrogantly laughed as he appears behind Nnoitra .
" What the hell ? " Nnoitra shouted.
" Take this ! Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō which pushes Grimmjow back a mile away cutting through everything it it's path . The powerful explosion clears to reveal that Ichigo's Black Getsuga created a mile long , 30 feet deep , 5 feet wide fissure.
The smoke clears up to reveal that the 5th Espada only has a very light burn and no starch on his body and only the left sleeve was burned off as well as the spoon-shaped top part of his collar .
" Boy that wasn't a bad shot ! " Nnoitra said to Ichigo as he stands there unfazed.
" Impossible my Black Getsuga couldn't even cut him , it barely even scratched him ! " Ichigo said to himself.
" That was the same move you used to put a scar on Grimmjow's chest huh ? Not very impressive . I assume that Black Getsuga is 2 times more powerful than your Getsuga Tenshō and it given it wasn't enough to hurt me, that was your best shot right there . Pathetic , i'll teach you a lesson about the gap in power between a pissant human and an Arrancar " Nnoitra explained to Ichigo as he goes to strike Ichigo.
Ichigo struggles to fight on par with Nnoitra's release from and struggle . Nnoitra swings his axe down and manages to overpower Ichigo's two-handed Bankai blade . Ichigo dodges a horizontal slash which splits a 5 story rock in half from the forcewave and tries to stab Nnoitra in the neck but Nnoitra dodges with Sonído .
" Saku Getsuga ( 裂く 月牙Ripping Moon Fang) " Ichigo chanted as he swings his sword 20 times at hypersonic speeds to fire a barrage of circular Getsuga Tenshōs.
" Ha, that weak attack won't cut me . That attack isn't even enough to starch me " Nnoitra arrogantly taunted only to see Ichigo in front of him.
" That wasn't what i was aiming at. You might have Iron Skin but your eyes aren't the same " Ichigo replied as he stabs Nnoitra through the left eye.
" ARRRGGH ! " Nnoitra shouted as the blade passes through the head.
" The eye is the most vulnerable part of the body, if i pierce through it, i hit your brain and with that blow,you're dead " Ichigo explained to Nnoitra only to have his sword grabbed by Nnoitra who somehow survived the stab through the head.
" Just kidding ! " Nnoitra shouted as he stabs through Ichigo's chest.
" ARRGH! Impossible , how did you survive a blow through the skull ? " Ichigo asked Nnoitra.
" How many times i have to tell you Shinigami ? You're sword can't cut me . You're wondering how is it that anyone can survive a sword through the skull, it's simple, they can't however your sword didn't pierce my eye my head , it passed through the Hollow hole in my left eye " Nnoitra explained to Ichigo as he reveals his Hollow Hole in his left eye.
" SHIT ! " Ichigo shouted as he struggles to move with blood coming out of his chest.
" That means, that was the best you can do Shinigami " Nnoitra shouted.
" Shit, he pierced through my chest , damn it . I'm losing , i can't lose like this " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to move.
" Now time to die ! " Nnoitra said to Ichigo as he goes to behead Ichigo.
" Damn it , move, move ! " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to move.
" Ichigo, miss me already ? " Hollow Ichigo said to Ichigo moves his arm and easily slashes Nnoitra through the chest leaving a mild gash .
" ARRGH ! " Nnoitra shouted only to see Ichigo's wounds healing up.
" You think you can beat me so easily ? Hahahahahaha ! " Hollow Ichigo said to Nnoitra speaking through Ichigo.
" What the hell ? How are you healing ? I punched you in the heart, you should be dead " Nnoitra said to Ichigo.
" Hichigo, what the hell are you doing here ? " Ichigo asked his inner Hollow.
" Don't worry Ichigo, i'm not here to take you over yet or more importantly, i can't at your state . I'm stilling recovering my power " Hichigo answered.
" Why are you helping me out ? " Ichigo asked his Hollow.
" Because he took my processions. Nobody takes something that belongs to me too . What's your's is mine too, Now get back Orihime . Don't hold anything back" Hichigo stated.
" Right ! " Ichigo replied as his eyes glow yellow with blue Reiatsu glowing around him as his wounds heal up.
" What's this ? Where's this power coming from. He wasn't this strong a second ago ? " Nnoitra said to himself as blood comes out of his chest.
" Looks like you're no longer invincible now, looks like we're at level ground now. At least i know i can cut you down " Ichigo said to Nnoitra.
" How can he have recovered from a stab to the heart ? Is he really this strong without that demon " Nnoitra said to himself.
" Here i come ! " Ichigo shouted as he dashes at Nnoitra but Nnoitra blocks the blow but it's pushed back by Ichigo and his glowing Reiatsu.
" You think you can cut me with a lucky blow , get serious, you can't get lucky twice " Nnoitra stated only to be cut on his left forearm.
" How about now ? Still think you're not able to be cut ? " Ichigo asked Nnoitra as he gets away from his axe blow.
Ichigo and Nnoitra clash blows again, this time with Ichigo. Ichigo sees Nnoitra jump into the air and spin his axe creating a 300 foot whirlwind which Ichigo stands in and then swings his axe at Ichigo but Ichigo blocks the attack and pushes back the attack and slash through part of Nnoitra's axe and slices through the bridge of the nose.
" Shit ! " Nnoitra shouted.
" Your Hierro is useless, i've gotten use to the density of your skin and thanks to that i can finally cut you " Ichigo said to Nnoitra.
" Used to it ? " Nnoitra asked.
" By focusing enough Reiatsu and shaping it into my blade, i can now cut through you like a knife through butter " Ichigo explained to Nnoitra as he concentrates his Getsuga Tenshō into his blade.
" Big deal, you still can't win ! " Nnoitra stated as he goes to attack Ichigo but his attacks miss.
" You might be stronger than me but you can't hope to hit me with slow attacks like that and now that i can cut you. I can kill you " Ichigo stated as he swings with both arms in his hand and hits him with a concentrated sword strike which pushes back Nnoitra.
" What immense strength, he's overpowering my strength ! " Nnoitra said to himself as he 's being pushed back 50 feet by Ichigo and then knocked back 150 feet further.
" Now die ! " Ichigo said to Nnoitra as he comes towards Nnoitra.
" Take this ! " Nnoitra shouted as he fires a Cero at Ichigo .
" That's not going to work ! " Ichigo replied as he cuts the blast in half only to see smoke cover him from the explosion cloud. Nnoitra then dashes in with his hand focused like a knife
" I've got you know, you can't hope to survive being pierced in the skull " Nnoitra shouted as he hits through the cloud and seems to pierce Ichigo's skull only to see Ichigo is wearing his Vizard Mask.
" Miss me ? " Ichigo asked Nnoitra.
" Shit ! " Nnoitra shouted only to be cut by a powerful black wave of Reiatsu which engulfs everything within a 1,500 foot radius.
Nnoitra emerges with a massive cut through his chest going from his left shoulder to right hip and a very deep gash at that.
" You almost got me that time , i figured i put on this mask to end this fast . I know your tricks , your strong but you lack speed . You'll never be able to land a hit on me " Ichigo said to Nnoitra.
" Damn you , i'm the strongest... i can't die . I WON'T LOSE TO YOU ! Pray Santa Teresa (Spanish for Praying Mantis)" Nnoitra shouted as he gains more power as a golden-yellow Reiatsu shoots out from the gains an extra set of arms, which take on an insect-like carapace and clawed hands, with each hand holding a large scythe-like weapon as well. The scythes themselves resemble the appendages of a praying mantis, and have a small golden tassel at the end of each staff. He also gains a golden marking extending from his forehead to below his right eye, as well as a pair of horns on his head, his left horn longer than his right, resembling a crescent moon. His hollow mask also changes, becoming torn, with the teeth extending over the hole itself.
" What the hell ? You have 4 arms . Is that even possible ? " Ichigo said to Nnoitra.
" Are you retarded ? We live in a world where people shoot laser beams from their mouths, people have magical swords, people can even walk in the air and people are strong enough to cleave skyscrapers in half with ease and you think my arms are weird . You really are a naïve human ,maybe you should focus on the fact i healed from your wound " Nnoitra explained to Ichigo as he's only left with a scar.
" That was a hit from me with my mask on , how did you recover from that ? " Ichigo asked Nnoitra.
" I must say, for my Resurrección to not fully recover from that blow , you must of had some strong striking power if i can only stop the bleeding " Nnoitra said to Ichigo.
" This is bad , i can't take anything to chance ! " Ichigo said to himself as he charges up his Bankai.
" Let's see that blade try to cut me now ! " Nnoitra shouted as Ichigo dashes towards him .
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō at point-blank range however Nnoitra manages to block it with one axe hand.
" What ? Is that the best you got ? " Nnoitra asked Ichigo before slashing him with 3 other hands and pushing him back 100 feet from the force of the strike.
" No way ! He blocked with only one arm, damn it ! " Ichigo said to himself as he bleeds out on the floor from his chest.
" You're sword had no force behind it Shinigami , time to get that Orihime and make her my pet " Nnoitra said to Ichigo.
" Your pet ? " Ichigo asked.
" You know, pet. She's going to be my bitch for now on , she's going to cook and clean for me and even suck my dick " Nnoitra answered.
" She'll never consent to that , she loves me with all my heart , she'll never go with Arrancar scum like you " Ichigo stated.
" Shut up, i don't care. If anything, i enjoy breaking women . A little bit of sexual torture and she'll be mine " Nnoitra replied.
" You bastard ! I'm not letting you touch Orihime ! " Ichigo shouted.
" And you're going to stop me ? Get real, you're outmatched , get used to it " Nnoitra said to Ichigo as he walks away only to get one of his arms slashed off.
" You're not touching a hair on Orihime ! " Ichigo shouted as his blade glows with black and red Reiatsu with his body healing up.
" Ichigo. This is the last time i'm healing you up, screw up and i'll take over and i'll be the king " Hichigo warned Ichigo .
" Don't worry. i can still cut him. I'll leave him with only one arm left before i kill him " Ichigo replied.
" Don't get too excited , i've only gotten started. This is the first and last arm you'll be cutting off . I'll rip you to shreds with all 6 arms " Nnoitra stated.
" 6 arms ? I see only 3 arms ! " Ichigo asked Nnoitra only to see Nnoitra regrow his fourth arm and grow two more arms.
" Ha, you're not cutting off all these arms ! " Nnoitra shouted as he swings his blades at Ichigo.
Ichigo with his Hollow Mask clashes with Nnoitra's release from while using two hands on his Bankai blade with Getsuga Tenshō blade. Despite having the speed and range edge, Nnoitra has great amounts of power and is able to push back Ichigo 50 feet away. Ichigo goes to slash his face but Nnoitra blocks with his blades. He uses one free arm to pierce Ichigo through the chest.
" ARRRGGH ! " Nnoitra shouted as he goes through Ichigo's chest only to see it was an afterimage.
" Too slow ! " Ichigo shouted as he slashes off two more arms from Nnoitra using his blade covered with Getsuga energy.
" Damn it, that was a dirty trick ! " Nnoitra shouted.
" So was sneak attacking me earlier , problem is that you move too slow. I can still beat you with enough hits " Ichigo stated as he holds his blade.
" Bring it ! " Nnoitra shouted as he goes to slash Ichigo but Ichigo moves out of the way.
" Zanzō (残像 Afterimage ) " Ichigo stated as he creates 12 afterimages of themselves moving at 60,000ft/sec(40,900 MPH) and run circles around Nnoitra.
" You think i can't see through that ? " Nnoitra shouted as he slashes Ichigo but it was an afterimage.
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he slashes Nnoitra's axe's and slashes his other 2 arms off but he regrows all his limb so fast that Ichigo is left vulnerable to attack.
" Got you now ! " Nnoitra shouted as he slashes Ichigo across the shoulders and Ichigo staggers back barely dodging the blow.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted.
" You must've been holding back on Grimmjow to conserve your strength, either that or you get stronger every time you fight. Either way, you weren't this strong when i saw your battle with Grimmjow . Either way time for my full power " Nnoitra said to Ichigo as he charges up a Cero from his mouth and his scythes .
" Shit. I can barely move my arms , he slashed me pretty deeply ! " Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to get his hands up.
" Cero Siete (Spanish for Seven Hollow Flash) " Nnoitra shouted as he charges up a cero in his mouth and Ceros glowing on his axes and he fires them in a massive blast.
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings down his sword with both hands and fires a powerful Black Getsuga Tenshō however the blast is canceled out by Nnoitra's Cero.
" This Cero is 7 times the power of normal Cero , there's no way you can stop this blast ! " Nnoitra shouted as the blast goes towards Ichigo.
" OH SHIT ! " Ichigo shouted as the blast hits him and explodes.
The blast destroys everything within a 2,500 foot radius.
Meanwhile at Barragan's palace
Choe, Findor and Gigo are watching the battle from the rooftop as they see the explosion
" What is this ? " Choe asked the group.
" Nnoitra's Cero Siete ! " Findor answered.
" Cero Siete ? " Choe asked.
" Nnoitra's Cero Siete(Spanish for Seven Hollow Flash) is a highly powerful Cero, 2 times stronger than a Grand Ray Cero. That Moron should've known better than to fire such a powerful Cero inside Las Noches " Barragan explained to Nnoitra.
Meanwhile 1 mile away
Gantenbainne, Grimmjow , Dordoni and Cirucci stand there heavily wounded when they see the mushroom cloud and feel the sand blowing towards them from a close distance.
" Damn , what an explosion ! " Gantenbainne said to the group.
" Ichigo's not surviving that blast ! " Grimmjow stated as he struggles to withstand such a blast.
" Is he trying to level the fortresses ? " Dordoni asked.
" That moron ! " Cirucci answered while she coughs up blood .
Back at Ground Zero
Ichigo is at the bottom of a 61 foot deep, 223 foot diameter crater with burns on most of his body. The blast generated 1 Kiloton of TNT, 1/15th yield of the Hiroshima Bomb. The blast levels 29,400 meters ^3 of rock within the sandlot and sends a small mushroom cloud into the air. The top half of his body is burned from the blast and covered with 2nd degree burns and 25% of his mask cracked from the blast. Ichigo struggles to stand but he can't move.
" Hahahahahaha ! Looks like this is the end for you . Now i'm going to finish you and then make your girl my pet for life " Nnoitra laughed as he comes closer to Ichigo walking down the crater .
" I told you, you're not touching Orihime ! Orihime is mine , i won't let you harm her ! " Ichigo shouted as he stands up and glows with intense anger.
" You're finished , you have nothing left . With your injuries, it's amazing you can still pick up a sword " Nnoitra stated.
" Then allow me to show you how i use my sword with this attack " Ichigo replied as he grabs the chain of his Bankai with his Getsuga Tenshō compressed into the blade and then twirls it around in a clockwise fashion spinning it around while still wearing his Vizard mask. Ichigo charges up Reiatsu around him which becomes a dense black and red spiral of energy that becomes an energy drill around him . He stops twirling around his Bankai as the energy forming around his sword.
" What the hell are you doing ? " Nnoitra asked Ichigo.
" Killing a scumbag like you ! " Ichigo answered as his Bankai becomes a large energy drill he holds with two hands as an aura of his Vizard mask appears over him and Ichigo's eyes glow blue while his eyeballs are black.
" Ha, funny joke . You barely survive my blast, this time i'll kill you for sure " Nnoitra shouted as he charges up his Cero.
This is the end, time to take you down with everything i got ! " Ichigo replied as he holds on to his mask reforging it and then swings his sword with Getsuga Tenshō energy on it revealing his Bankai now looks like a black and red lance.
" Cero Siete (Spanish for Seven Hollow Flash)" Nnoitra shouted as he charges up a cero in his mouth and Ceros glowing on his axes and he fires them in a massive blast.
" Getsuga Kussakuyari (月牙掘削槍 Moon Fang Drilling Lance ) " Ichigo chanted as he dashes through the Cero and dispels it with his drill.
" Impossible, he canceled out my strongest attack ! " Nnoitra shouted as Ichigo comes towards him.
" It's over Nnoitra ! " Ichigo shouted as the attack hits through his arms.
" NOOO! " Nnoitra screamed in pain as Ichigo's drill goes through his chest and blasts a hole through Nnoitra.
The attack drags Nnoitra a mile away before exploding . The blast spins and builds up spiritual energy like a drill inflicting extreme piercing damages as the attack compresses into the body and all the spiritual power hits Nnoitra at once causing a massive 1 mile radius explosion forming a vertical spiraling black red Reiatsu wave shaped like a drill.
Meanwhile at Barragan's palace
Choe, Findor and Gigo are watching the battle from the rooftop as they see the explosion as it comes towards them.
" What is this ? " Choe asked the group.
" It's huge ! " Findor answered.
" It's coming towards us ! " Choe shouted.
" Stand back guys ! " Barragan replied as he forms a barrier around himself and the Palace as the blast wave sends rocks hitting the barrier .
" That was a close one ! " Findor said to the King.
" Of course it was, had not for me, the place would be blown to bits " Barragan said to himself.
Meanwhile 1 mile away
Gantenbainne, Grimmjow , Dordoni and Cirucci stand there heavily wounded when they see the mushroom cloud and feel the sand blowing towards them from a close distance.
" Damn , what an explosion ! " Gantenbainne said to the group.
" Damn it, he held back on me ! " Grimmjow shouted as he struggles to withstand such a blast.
" What is that Nino ? " Dordoni asked.
" I have no clue ! " Cirucci answered while she coughs up blood .
Meanwhile at Aizen's throne room
Aizen feels a bit of shaking within the throne with the cup of tea spilling over.
" What a nosy tremor we got here ! " Aizen said to Gin and Tōusen.
" That attack Ichigo used was at 1,000,000 RYK , what an immensely strong attack " Tōusen said to Aizen.
" I wasn't expecting this attack to be so strong ! " Aizen stated.
" That's madness, with that much spiritual power, one could create an explosion the size of the Hiroshima bomb " Tōusen stated.
" It seems all that training Ichigo did with the Vizards paid off well ! " Gin replied.
" How did Ichigo get this powerful in such a short amount of time ? " Tōusen asked.
" You're telling me, several months ago he couldn't fight a measly Menos and now he has the Reiatsu of 4,000 Menos Grandes " Gin answered.
" ... " Wonderweiss wondered as the ceiling starts to crack.
" Ichigo, you cease to impress me with that power of yours ! " Aizen said to himself looking at the screen.
Meanwhile at sector 17 floor 32
Harribel and Skullak feel the rumbling nearby to feel Ichigo's Reiatsu.
" This Reiatsu, it's so high that it surpasses any of the Adjuchas level Espadas " Harribel said to Skullak.
" Could it be the intruder ? No wonder he was able to defeat 5 Espadas and multiple Arrancars " Skullak replied.
" It's a good thing my Fracción are safe ! " Harribel said to the Arrancar as they head down to the sandlot.
Meanwhile at the Medical Bay , Sector # 13 , 570th floor
Starrk is within the Hospital with Rey getting treated by the doctors within the facility. They all felt the shockwave .
" What a powerful Reiatsu ! " Starrk said to Lilynette.
" It came close to matching that of a Vasto Lorde " Sheelal answered.
" Is that the power of the Shinigami attacking ? " Mila asked.
" We would've stood no chance if we stood there long enough " Sun Sun answered.
" No kidding , the explosion happened pretty close to Harribel's palace . You all would've dead if you stood there at the moment " Rey said to them.
Meanwhile at sector 22 floor 694
Orihime finishes bringing back Yammy who was cut in half by Ichigo.
" I'm alive ? " Yammy asked only to see his dog there.
" You're been revived by me , now go away. You're dog wants you to be alive " Orihime answered.
" Yeah, now i can play with my dog ! " Yammy replied as he walks away with his dog being the last person she revives for now.
" Orihime . Are you alone ? " said a mysterious voice.
" Who's there ? " Orihime asked only to see Ibiki there.
" It's me , Ibiki ! " Ibiki answered.
" Are you from the Soul Society ? " Orihime asked.
" Yes, i been sent to get you out of here . The task force should arrive soon " Ibiki stated.
" Thanks, is Ichigo part of all this ? " Orihime asked.
" Yes, for the moment , he is ! " Ibiki replied.
Meanwhile 20 miles from Las Noches
Yoruichi and the team of Vizards arrive with Kukaku , Tessai and Kisuke riding a magical carpet heading to Las Noches when she gets a call.
" What is it Ibiki ? " Yoruichi asked.
" It's me, i got Orihime here and ready to leave whenever your ready " Ibiki answered.
" Good, stay out of sight and when the time comes, try to escape with Orihime. Where are you located ? " Yoruichi asked.
" Sector 22, floor 694 ! " Ibiki answered.
" Stay there, we're going to breach the palace in 5 minutes. Kukaku , Hachigen , Lisa and Hiyori would come by and take you out of harms way , stay put " Yoruichi commanded.
" Right ! " Ibiki replied as she hangs up the phone.
" What was it ? " Kisuke asked.
" Ibiki has gotten Orihime ! " Yoruichi answered.
" That was a bit too easy though ! " Kukaku stated.
" Yeah something doesn't feel right about this at all ! " Shinji replied.
" Ichigo has proved useful after all , according to reports, he killed off 5 Espadas by himself sent by her text messages " Yoruichi stated.
" 5 by himself ? He's really improved ! " Love said to the group.
" He might of token out 5-10 but mind you 1-4 are far stronger than him, even with his current power . There's no way he'll win , especially if he has reached his limit at this point " Kisuke explained to the group.
" Still, he took 5 Espadas . 5-10 are mostly Adjuchas level Arrancars who are all on the level of a captain, that's no doubt a power feat " Kensei stated.
" I can barely take on more than 1 Espada by myself !" Hachigen replied.
" This Ichigo guy was far stronger than i though " Rose said to the group.
" It's safe to say neither of us say this coming " Mashiro said to the team.
" What can i say, that kid has alot of promise ! " Lisa stated.
" Alot more than i'm willing to give him credit for ! " Hiyori replied.
" He's after all the son of one of the strongest Captains within the last 200 years ! " Kisuke replied as they get closer to Las Noches.
Back at Ground Zero
The smoke cloud clears up from the massive explosion which formed a 125 ft deep 459 ft diameter crater, produced by the attack, the explosion was the equivalent of 7.5 Kilotons of TNT, nearly half the explosive force of the Hiroshima Bomb. The smoke clears up to reveal that Nnoitra has been blasted in half with his entire abdomen destroyed and his heart ruptured. Ichigo walks towards Nnoitra who is now dead with cuts on his arms and two gashes on his shoulders with 2nd degree burns on the upper body and half his robe gone. He's no longer in Vizard form and his Bankai reverted to his Shikai and he's heavily exhausted.
" He's dead , his Hierro was useless against this attack . No one can hope to block this attack, with this all the Espada before me will fall " Ichigo said to himself only to see someone rush to the crater.
" Master Nnoitra , no it can't be ! " Tesra said to Ichigo as he holds Nnoitra's bisected body.
" He's dead, you'll soon join him ! " Ichigo said to the Arrancar.
" You're out of energy , you used your strongest attack and for that, i'll crush you and avenge Master Nnoitra Crush Verruga (Spanish for Wart ) " Tesra chanted as he reveals to be in release form.
" Bring it ! " Ichigo replied only to be punched by Tesra and sent flying 500 feet to the edge of the crater.
" Die Shinigami ! " Tesra shouted as he tries to pound Ichigo but Ichigo dodges his attacks.
" Take this ! " Ichigo shouted as he goes to slash down Tesra.
" Cero Córnea (Spanish for Zero Cornea ) " Tesra chanted as he fires a powerful Bala from his eye which knocks back Ichigo.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Take this ! " Tesra shouted as he fires a Cero at an injured Ichigo and hits him creating an explosion.
The smoke clears up to reveal Ichigo is fully healed after eating the chunk of Szayel's Fracción which healed all his wounds and repaired his cloak. Ichigo also turned into his Bankai state.
" Looks like this medicine ignores the recovery time of my Bankai however i still can't use my mask for now " Ichigo said to Tesra.
" Why you ! " Tesra shouted as he tries to punch Ichigo but Ichigo punches the Arrancar 2,500 feet away with a casual punch knocking him through a pillar.
" Now you're dead ! " Ichigo shouted as he dashes towards Tesra only to be slapped by Cirucci's tail.
Cirucci is still standing while in release form however is bleeding badly.
" It's not over yet ! " Cirucci said to Ichigo.
" Ha, you can't fight me by yourself. You no longer have any feathers for attack " Ichigo arrogantly taunted.
" If i can't use them , then i'll just discard them ! " Cirucci stated as she removes her extending arms and wings and the tip of her tail splits in half and projects a large, pink fan of spiritual energy.
" What are you doing ? " Ichigo asked.
" You're clearly weakened. You can heal yourself all you like but you can't fight the strain forever . This is a war Ichigo, we we're born to defeat and kill every single enemy, to be defeated is unforgivable and to allow comrades to die is even worse than that " Cirucci shouted as she swings her tail at Ichigo but Ichigo blocks it barely.
" I can't block the attack , it's so powerful ! " Ichigo said to himself only to be pushed back 20 feet from Cirucci.
Ichigo dodges multiple slashes as each slash cuts down rocks with ease . Ichigo struggles to block them but Cirucci overpowers them with her attack . Ichigo tries to block with his blade but each strike pushes him back.
" Ha, your Bankai can't cut these attacks ! " Cirucci shouted as she goes to strike Ichigo again.
" Noko Kuroi Getsuga( 鋸黒月牙Sawing Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo chanted as he tries to cut the blade in half but Cirucci withdraws it and goes away from Ichigo.
" When i stop and think about it , i really don't have an desire to fight you up close . If we fight with blades with equal power, the one with the longer reach wins " Cirucci said to Ichigo.
" I see ! " Ichigo replied as he holds his sword with two blades.
" Ala Cortadola Gradiator (Spanish for Wing Cutter Gladiator ) " Cirucci shouted as she fires a giant arrow like attack at Ichigo.
" Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; Black Moon Fang ) " Ichigo countered as he uses the blast to cut the arrow in half and now dashes towards Cirucci.
" Shit ! I'm dead ! " Cirucci shouted
Before Ichigo can stab her through the heart , Skullak appears and blocks with his sword drawn out .
" Sorry but i'm not letting you hurt her ! " Skullak said to Ichigo.
" Who are you ? " Ichigo asked.
" You've caused too much trouble for us, therefore i must crush you where you stand " Skullak answered.
