SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 2 out, this is Chapter 3 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny. Heck, even the pairings aren't mine.

Chapter 3: One Hit Kill, Suì-Fēng, Bankai!

"He's a monster." Ōmaeda gaped in shock. I've seen all sorts up until now, but none of them come even close. This guy's way more dangerous then Aizen. We can't get near him, we can't touch him, there's no way for us to attack him, let alone defeat him. But that's not the real problem. He turned to Suì-Fēng. He caught up with Captain Suì-Fēng. That means, his attack is such that no one of the Gotei 1 can escape.

"Ōmaeda," Suì-Fēng voiced. "I believe you said that your duty is to assist me. Then, you fight him. He's yours for a bit."

"You mean one-on-one?" Ōmaeda asked.

"What else is there?" Suì-Fēng fired back.

"Well?" Baraggan questioned. "If you're not going to come at me, then I'll come at you."

"Make sure you protect your right arm." Suì-Fēng instructed and headed out to make her preparations. "So you can cut off the part that turns to bone and make your escape. He's yours."

"What can you do alone?" Baraggan mocked.

In any event, I can't get close to this guy. Ōmaeda was planning his attack strategy. I have to keep an adequate distance. "No matter how I look at it, this is reckless." he whined, retreating. "One-on-one against this guy? What is Captain Suì-Fēng thinking?"

"Try and make this interesting for me." Baraggan was hot in Ōmaeda's heels.

"Shut up!" Ōmaeda landed on a street and turned, Zanpakutō at the ready. "Mocking me like that. I'll show you a thing or two. Smash them, Gegetsuburi!" he activated his Shikai.

"It appears you wish to rot away your Zanpakutō." Baraggan noted, seeing the spiked ball swung at him. "Very well."

"Time out!" Ōmaeda changed the chain's course, letting the spike ball hit the surrounding building.

"Weren't you aiming at me?" Baraggan was not impressed. "The way you were self-destructing, it would seem you couldn't do a thing."

"Let's see if you can catch up with me." Ōmaeda taunted, leading Baraggan on another chase.

"How boring." Baraggan tsked. "All you're doing is running away, after all.

"Over here." Ōmaeda called out, tossing a handful of rocks at Baraggan, who used his ability to rot away the stones. "Get them!" he sent a wave of debris at his opponent.

Baraggan merely expanding his miasma to turn the rocks into dust. "Good thinking." the Second Espada praised. "You can't attack with your Zanpakutō, so you attacked with other objects. But something like this is useless."

"I know about that." Ōmaeda retorted. "How about this?" he swung Gegetsuburi up against the glass windows of the building beside him and dragged the spiked ball diagonally across the windows, turning them into glass shards.

"How many times must I tell you?" Baraggan repeated. "Do you really think you can hurt me with this?"

"From the very start, I never thought of something like that would have any effect." Ōmaeda fired back, his Zanpakutō removing the building's foundation and enabling him to drop the whole building onto Baraggan. "I know this won't kill him, but it should be able to buy some time." the over-sized Lieutenant burst out from the debris.

"Buy enough time, you say?" Baraggan chuckled. "You say interesting things."

"No way." Ōmaeda gasped when Baraggan's Respira miasma shot out through the gaps of the rubble pile and turning the debris into dust.

Time has no meaning against my powers." Baraggan declared. "The frightening thing about aging, is the aspect of death that I signify, is that I can even control time. It's time you suffered the Dying Breath: Respira. Haven't you realized?" he managed to chase Ōmaeda to the air. "If you're going to hide, then all I have to do is eliminate the places where you can hide. By doing that, I'll flush out that Captain who's hiding somewhere. You're working hard at running away, you mound of flesh." he chased after the fleeing Ōmaeda.

"For crying out loud, why isn't my Zanpakutō a Kido-type that shoots out fire or ice?" Ōmaeda wailed. "That's it." an idea came to him. "Kido. Kido can reach him. I've figured out your weak point. Bakudō #21: Sekienton!" I ended up blinding myself. He coughed, dashing out of the red cloud. Now that I think of it, I can hardly use Kido, damn it. "Captain!" he wailed. "Help!"

"What a pathetic cry," Suì-Fēng muttered, hiding in an alley with her Ginjōtan wrapped several times around the building beside her. "Imbecile. I couldn't even leave you in charge for a moment. Right, that should do it."

"Looks like you have nothing more to offer even if I let you run free." Baraggan declared. "Time to finish it." and materialized Gran Caída. "Gran Caída, a guillotine that's too good for you. Rot away and die."

"Bankai!" Suì-Fēng called out, flaring up her Reiatsu and walked up the fire escape, using her overweight missile launcher as a walking aid. "Jakuhō Raikōben."

That's the first time I've seen it. Ōmaeda gawked. So that's Captain Suì-Fēng's Bankai? What's with that shape? How is she supposed to fight with that? That's a Ginjōtan. He recognized the metal sash around his Captain's waist. The steel sash you wear under armor. Why does she have such a heavy thing wrapped around her body? With that wrapped around her, even Captain Suì-Fēng's mobility would be limited.

"If possible, I wanted to end this without using this Bankai." Suì-Fēng admitted. "This Bankai goes against my pride as a member of the Onmitsukidō. It is too huge. I cannot hide with it and it's too heavy to move freely with it. And it's attack..." she pointed the rocket at Baraggan. "It's too flashy to be called an 'assassination'. Take this!" she fired the missile at her opponent, sending the projectile spiraling towards Baraggan and resulting in a dome-shaped explosion cloud.

Omake: Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book

In the Squad 13 barracks, Sentarou and Kiyone were doing paperwork.

Kiyone: I wonder if Captain Ukitake is alright.

Sentarou: Hey, don't you think we should be fighting for Captain Ukitake?

Kiyone: You're right.

Sentarou: I'll get ready. (Exits barracks office)

Kiyone: (Daydreaming) Captain... (Ukitake kneeling on the ground, turning to the audience with his face sparkling) Or maybe he's already... (Ukitake lying on the ground unconscious, with a sparkling face) Or worse yet... (Ukitake gets slashed across the chest, still with a sparkling face)

Kiyone squeals girlishly with a blush on her face.

Sentarou: (In samurai armor) Hey, I'm ready.

Kiyone: (Gushing as she pulls out her camera) Camera, camera.

SailorStar9: In the next chapter, the massive explosion sends Suì-Fēng flying, but Ōmaeda manages to catch her, protecting her from crashing into a building. Just then, a huge Garganta opens up and reveals Wonderweiss and another gigantic hollow named Hooleer next to him. Wonderweiss then screams loudly, shattering the ice that Halibel was trapped in and allowing her to escape unharmed. Wonderweiss then blows out the smoke remaining from the missile out of Baraggan, making him resume his place. Wonderweiss finally has Hooleer blow away the flames surrounding Aizen, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen. Just when the Shinigami begin to panic, the Vizards make an unsuspected arrival at the fake Karakura Town right in front of Aizen, Gin and Tōsen.

Now that's done, read and review.
