Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating in so long, really. I don't really have much free time to work on stories anymore, plus my motivation to do so has taken a heavy hit. BUT, that may be on the verge of changing! With any luck, my weekly schedule should be opening up a little more soon, so please keep up the support! Anyhow, here's a little preview for Part 2!

Sword Magnet II Preview

Ichigo and Grimmjow stood apart, preparing for combat. Orihime was out of the way atop one of the pillars, with little Nel next to her.

Ichigo, already in bankai, remained silent, observing cautiously while a burst of energy obscured his opponent from view. However, he couldn't have been any less prepared for what happened next.

"Oi, Pantera! What the hell are you doing?!" Grimmjow screamed in frustration at his now revealed zanpakto, much to Ichigo's confusion. "I was going to fight the guy! Get back here!"

Ichigo's face fell into a look of tired exasperation. 'Why do all the weird things happen to me? And why am I getting a feeling of Déjà vu?'

The feline girl instantly latched onto him again, this time standing and rubbing her cheek against his.

Orihime and Nel slowly descended on her orange shield, sending their friend an inquisitive glance at the girl hugging him whilst humming happily. Ichigo responded with a 'Don't ask because I'm not sure myself' look.

Ichigo was running forwards at a fast speed, heading deeper into the castle. He ground to an abrupt halt when he caught sight of an enemy ahead. Not just any enemy either, but the fourth espada Ulquiorra, a particularly powerful and frightening foe.

"Murciélago, what are you doing?" Ulquiorra asked, his tone carrying a lilt of surprise.

The now named zanpakto spirit turned to face him. "Forgive me master, but I am curious."

The fourth espada tilted his head ever so slightly. "How so?"

"Wait, what?" asked Ichigo warily. "As long as I don't try getting past you, then you're not going to fight me?"

Ichigo lowered his blade involuntarily out of disbelief. The strongest opponent he had faced so far didn't want to fight, but to talk philosophy? What was next, the three of them sitting down for tea like friends?

Did you guys like that? These are random snippets from what I've currenlty made and planned. If all goes well, Sword Magnet II should have its first chapter up and ready for the weekend. Til next time!
