Chapter 11: Toshiro And Komamura Vs. Stark And Halibel

After their respective leaders had filed them out, Toshiro found himself in front of a dark skinned woman with blonde hair. He examined her demeanor and stance and could tell that she must be a strong arrancar. Toshiro drew his blade without any hesitation and looked straight at her with a cold stare.

"You must be captain Toshiro Hitsugaya of squad ten. Correct?" Halibel asked him, surprising the captain for a moment.

"Did Aizen tell you about me?" Toshiro asked her, still giving her a cold stare.

"Yes." She said as she drew her blade as well. "Both he and Ichigo told me about you. Lord Aizen told me that you can manipulate ice while Ichigo told me that your form was rather sloppy when she faced you." Halibel noticed the twitch in his eye at the mention of his performance against Ichigo. "My name is Tia Halibel. Espada number three, and I would appreciate it if you surrender instead of facing me little boy."

Toshiro went wide eyed at the sound of her rank. He gritted his teeth in frustration at being told to surrender and shouted out. "BANKAI! DAIGUREN HYORINMARU!"

Halibel could tell that Aizen's plan had worked. Rile up Toshiro to cause a tantrum and take advantage of it. She smirked behind her mask at how easy it was to manipulate the small captain, until a large fox like captain placed his hand on Toshiro.

"Captain Hitsugaya, control your anger." Komamura started in a calmed tone. This too calmed Toshiro down as he began to realize what the espada had tried to do.

"I guess Aizen's told you much more about us than expected." Toshiro said to her in a calmed tone. He got in stance and was ready to face this espada.

Halibel wasn't too worried about facing both her assigned captain and another, but where exactly was the one who was assigned to face Komamura? Suddenly, a gloved hand placed itself on her shoulder and she sighed.

"Where were you when we dispersed Stark?" Halibel asked him as he stood by her side.

"Just decided to watch instead of get involved for a bit, geez." Stark started while taking his hand off of her. He knew not to get on her bad side at times like these. Stark turned to their targets and sighed a bit before scratching the back of his head. "Geez, a kid and a fox man? They don't pay me enough for this."

"Lord Aizen doesn't pay you at all, same with Ichigo." Halibel said to him, mildly annoyed. She readied her own blade once again and charged towards the boy. She clashed with Toshiro, pushing him back several meters in the process.

Komamura didn't take his eyes off of Stark for a second as the man in front of him simply stood there with a bored expression on his face. He seemed uninterested in what was going on and, in Komamura's opinion, looked bored.

"And who pray tell would you be?" The captain asked the espada.

Stark scratched his head for a second before yawning. He didn't bother to answer him as he simply fired a blue cero out of nowhere at lightning speeds. Komamura barely had any time to bring about his Bankai to defend himself as the blast destroyed most of the monstrous giant. Komamura was left breathing heavily as he sunk down to a rooftop and fell to one knee. Stark joined him a few seconds later and simply stood there with his hands in his pockets as Komamura struggled to stand. Stark looked up to see that Halibel had not held back against the boy. She was now in her release form and showing him no mercy in the process.

Toshiro was still in Bankai and trying his hardest to keep up with the relentless espada. Unfortunately for him, she was far more faster than he was and showed no mercy, but at one point she had a clear opportunity to strike him down and didn't take it. Toshiro backed away from her and took a knee on solidified air to catch his breath. Halibel didn't even look tired as she stood there waiting for another opportunity. Toshiro decided to go for broke as he stood up and held his blade into the air. Halibel took a defensive stance as she wondered just what the young captain was planning. Suddenly, a large dark cloud appeared above her and started to snow. Halibel watched as this happened and didn't know how to react at first, but then a snowflake landed on her arm and froze it into an ice flower. She went wide eyed and had tried to strike at the cloud, or at the very least stop the snowfall. She was too late. The snow had fallen all around her body, encasing her in ice flowers. Toshiro took a deep breath as his battle was over now.

Stark looked on in shock that Halibel was taken out by such a technique. He would have stared more, but then he heard Komamura shout out.

"BANKAI!"

Before Stark could properly react, a giant sword came crashing down onto him. Komamura took a few breaths before standing up and flashing away from the espada. He stood next to Toshiro and they both released their own Bankai.

"Now for the rest of-" Toshiro started only to be interrupted when a large blue light shot into the air where Stark was.

Stark flashed next to the mountain of ice in his release form and destroyed it all, releasing Halibel. She hunched over before thanking him and the two prepared to do battle once again.

Done.
