Chapter 14

BOOM!

The collision between the fighters destroyed the buildings near them. Ichigo began on the offensive, slashing at the Sajin-lookalike. Byakuya shifted to a defensive position, luring more enemies towards him. King Mickey stayed near Byakuya, maintaining distance away from Ichigo's fights. The nobody captains and other warriors began to split between each fighter in order to overheat them, but had little success in doing so.

Byakuya saw his look-alike stare at him. "Soon, my little "captain"," proclaimed the nobody, "I, Yakxubya, will control everything. You shall go back to the dirt from where you came from! Axsinj, slash him!"

The Sajin look-alike responded, yelling, "Empower, Tekkek!"

A large hand, similar to Sajin's shikai, appeared, but the hand had more aura concentrated around it. It went at Byakuya's direction, but it was sliced apart by petals.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura." Byakuya aimed at Yakxubya, but was disappointed that he was able to dodge.

"Fly all over, Deathinator!" The petals were crimson-red, filled with cold blood. The spiritual pressure felt heavy, as if commandeering respect, but it ended up just tearing apart the buildings near it. "My blades represent your life," said the nobody. "All you did with it was making others wanting to respect you. Your shikai is held without purpose, other that to protect those worthless orphans-"

Yakxubya stopped. He felt several cuts into his palms and his face. "Is this how to bore an enemy to death?" asked Byakuya, smiling. "You expect me to wait with your monologues? How can you call me your half if you just bore people to death? You are really what I was before I met Ichigo. Anyways, you shouldn't know what I did."

"We aren't like any other nobodies." Anger was built up inside of Yakxubya, bursting into the one sentence. "We are special. When Sora stopped Kingdom Hearts from being made, he released memories as well, so we knew what has happened until recently."

"As I said-"

Axsinj attacked again with his sword. A large sword formed around the palm of the hand, and Axsinj yelled, "Do you have any last words, you lame captain?"

"I thought Sajin was smarter than that," replied Byakuya. "Fight like the man he is!"

Byakuya hit his blade on the ground, sending petals all over the field. Both of his opponents took serious damage, yet they looked only more determined. More enemies joined in the fight.

"Bend at will, Willbearer!" Kira Izuru's nobody appeared, aiming at Byakuya's back.

"Sai!" The warrior was forced down, unable to move. Other shinigami aimed at him, using shunpo to cover distance.

"Burn the soul, Darkbune!" yelled Hinamori's nobody, throwing a fireball. Byakuya moved back a few miles into the grand city, determined to get them closer to him.

Meanwhile, King Mickey took over the battle in his area. The shinigami soldiers, all brainwashed, were unconscious while the nobody of Toshiro attacked the mouse. "Freeze upon Hell, Hynoimaku!"

Red darkness appeared from the nobody's blade. "Why are all of your blades different?" asked King Mickey. "I thought that nobodies would have the same powers as they had in their main body, not to mention memories."

"We had memories because of Xemnas," said the nobody. "His Kingdom Hearts that he created contained a memory regainer. The technology was made by him, and he planned to use it for something else until Ansem blew it up. Then, the nobodies gained their counterpart's memories of what happened slowly. Our powers evolve with similar powers of our original bodies, but the meaning behind the blades are different, especially for me, the ice demon Xirotosh!"

The red ice spread across the field. Darkness radiated from the ice into the atmosphere. "Now, feast upon the darkness that is me!" He charged at the king, only to hit the ice head-on. King Mickey came behind him, hitting the boy towards a building. Xirotosh rebounded from the building, throwing ice spells at the king. To the mouse's horror, he started to use arrows at extreme speed levels. He deflected the attacks, only to feel a shadow behind him.

"Blind forever, Hellneko!" Rangiku's nobody appeared, directing a red-black mist towards King Mickey.

"Light!" A glow of light bursted from his blade, hitting the nobody in the body. She collapsed to the ground as Xirotosh advanced near the king. Unohana's nobody summoned her powers at the same time.

"Enlarge, Shadowmellow!" A large manatee appeared, radiating power from its body. It flew towards the king as well, trapping him between his opponents.

"Light Twister!" King Mickey moved in a tornado-like motion, surrounding himself with light. The light was launched from the tornado like missiles, hitting each nobody nearby. The manatee disappeared, and the nobodies moved forward, angry at the mouse.

"Anohxauna! Attack first!" yelled Xirotosh. Anohxauna, nobody of Unohana, moved up and attacked the king with a rapid sword smash, only to have missed. King Mickey countered blows from the nobodies of Hisagi and Tosen, then dodged the attacks of Xirotosh as he threw red ice spikes at him. King Mickey realized the ease at which the battle was taking its pace. No one has showed their true power...they were waiting for him to release it.

Meanwhile, Ichigo and the nobody Yamato were staring at each other. "I never thought that you would come here," said the nobody. "I assumed that you would be dead from what happened in Karakura town. Oh well-time to execute you."

He pulled out his blade. "I, Maxatyo, shall defeat you! Prepare for the fires of hell, as this is-"

"What's with you guys and darkness?" interjected Ichigo.

"We were born into it," explained Maxatyo. "We had powers of darkness infused into us. Now, we have that power into our souls and hearts. It mixed with the light, turning us into a mix of the race. Our bodies are carried by light, but filled with darkness-"

"I think I get it now," said the irritated Ichigo. "Let's finish this-"

Five other nobodies appeared. "Let's not forget my other fellow captains," announced Maxatyo. "First up is Xoers-" Rose's nobody smirked. "Then, it is Xakukyor!" Kyoraku's nobody pulled out his two katanas. "Seixenk!" Kensei's nobody brought out his sword as well. "Ukixaket!" Ukitake's nobody stared at Ichigo with a blank look. "Kenpachix Zaxakir!" Kenpachi's nobody was ready to fight, waiting for his commander's command. "Attack him now!"

The five nobodies attacked Ichigo at once. Ichigo slammed at Xoers, knocking his away from him as Xakukyor approached him. "Sneak around, Dark and Anti-light!" To Ichigo's surprise, he wielded two blades, both all black and white respectively. He tried to go above Ichigo, but he was pushed back by Ichigo's two swords to the ground. Zaxakir slammed at full force, pushing Ichigo to the walls. Ukixaket cornered him, but was surprised as Ichigo raised his blade.

"Blizzard!" He pointed his blade at the nobody, freezing him. Ichigo flew up in time to see the nobody get out of the ice prison, and then saw Zaxakir raise his blade.

"Rip apart the world, Xenorage!" His blade turned sharper, and the aura of rage surrounded Zaxakir. He hit Ichigo, slamming him to the ground. Just as the nobodies were about to celebrate, though, Ichigo got up, looking bored.

"Time to end this, I guess," he said, surrounding himself in reiatsu.

In Soul Society, Byakuya was hiding, trying to plan out his next attacks. Suddenly, another nobody appeared in front of him. "Soi Fong, ehhh..." muttered Byakuya.

"So, the leader of the Kuchiki clan is sitting on his ass, doing nothing?" laughed the nobody. "Well, then-"

She stopped. "What..." she croaked as she disappeared. Byakuya saw a feline woman standing behind the deceased nobody.

"Yoruichi?!" gasped Byakuya.

"What? Are you surprised, young man?" The dark woman smirked. "I taught you better than that-"

More nobodies appeared behind her. "You were supposed to know better." taunted Byakuya. Yoruichi blushed in embarrassment.

"Bankai!" The nobodies were shocked to see Byakuya grin as he dropped his blade, only for it to disappear. "Begone!"

Petals flew everywhere until most of the city was reduced to smoke. "Watch it!" complained Yoruichi. "I could have died!"

Byakuya shifted his attention to the light that was near him. "Good to see you well, King Mickey."

All three saw more reiatsu near Ichigo. "How much more powerful is he?" asked the king.

"More than I thought," replied Byakuya. Yoruichi looked in disbelief at the two, then decided to ask later.

The three watched as Ichigo grinned. Then, he raised his swords.

"Fight or flight, guys. It's your option."
