Chapter 14: Ulquiorra and Nnoitra Vs. Kyoraku and Ukitake
After Grimmjow had defeated Kenpachi, things started to get really heated with the battles taking place. Ulquiorra stood in front of the usually laid back captain while Nnoitra stood not to far away and in front of the white haired captain. They knew their orders and knew what to do. Both espadas exchanged a quick glance at one another and, in a surprising show of cooperation, nodded to each other.
"Well, it looks like we're not at a great start." Kyoraku started as he smirked at the pale espada, both blades drawn. "I see that Aizen informed you all of who we are eh?"
He received no answer from his opponent and before he could speak again, Ulquiorra pointed his finger towards him. Without a moments hesitation, Ulquiorra fired his teal cero at the unsuspecting white haired captain.
Ukitake quickly released his shikia and captured the cero in his left blade. Before he could really absorb and then fire it back though, Nnoitra appeared behind him and went for a slash to his left side. Luckily for Ukitake, Kyoraku blocked the attack, saving his old friend. Ukitake fully absorbed the cero and fired it back at its sender. Fully expecting this, Ulquiorra simply caught his attack in his hand and flung it away from himself. Unbeknown to the four here, that cero managed to hit a certain, giant warrior in the background. The sound of a loud crash could be heard from where they were.
Ulquiorra drew his blade, knowing that his plan had worked in taking out another captain, and pointed his blade at Ukitake. Ukitake prepared himself as did Kyoraku. Unfortunately for them, the very next second they felt a familiar pressure approaching them. They turned and saw the former captain of squad nine, Kaname Tousan.
"Oh boy." Kyoraku said to himself and Ukitake as they saw the blind traitor draw his blade.
The two thought things couldn't get any worse, but unfortunately, an opening garganta with a single glowing yellow eye proved them wrong.
Not done.
