One-Shot 4: Army Vs. Army
As Ichigo and Tia went up to deal with the central 46, the rest of the crew stayed down to ensure that nobody would get past them. They waited until everyone that went to kill Ichigo appeared before them. The head captain was absolutely furious at seeing all who were standing in their way.
"This is an urgent and serious matter!" The old man bellowed out. "Either you all move, or you will be destroyed along with the boy!"
"FUCK YOU OLD MAN!" Grimmjow shouted as he fired a cero to the head captain.
To his surprise, Ukitake absorbed the attack with one of his zanpakuto and fired it back at Grimmjow with the other. Grimmjow was yanked out of the way by Apache who had a wide grin on her face.
"Probably should've told you he could do that before we left." Kisuke said behind his fan. Grimmjow scoffed at the man in annoyance and turned his attention back to their adversaries.
"If all of you will not move," the head captain started as he brought out his zanpakuto, flames already engulfing the area around him. "Then all of you will face the same fate that Ichigo Kurosaki shall face!"
And with that, the soul reapers went on the attack against Ichigo's crew. There was a clash of blades and energy flying around the place as complete chaos swirled around the area. The only ones not involved were the head captain and Unohana. The former because he wanted to save his energy for when Ichigo comes down, while the latter did not want to partake in any more conflict ever since Ichigo relieved her of her former self.
Grimmjow and Apache were dealing with a few of the lieutenants as a team. They had been an unstoppable force for quite some time now ever since they found out they were a great match for each other. Neliel and Nyx were also that way as well. The two simply clicked when it came to fighting at this particular moment. Even Yuzu and Karin, who only had a very brief moment to learn how to use their powers and the bit of pure reiatsu that Ichigo gave them, were holding their own against lieutenants and even a few captains. Albeit, Kuukaku and Kaien were keeping the two safe from anyone the two couldn't handle. The arrancar's, both old and new, were holding their own against oncoming soul reapers and kido corps members. Chad, Orihime and especially Uryu were also taking care of any and all soul reapers that came at them. Hogyoku and Kyoka Suigetsu stood close to Orihime as support more than anything.
From what the head captain could see, they were losing against Ichigo's forces. If they didn't do something soon, then they would surely be decimated in no time. He watched as his fellow captains were being beaten by either the exiled soul reapers, the humans, the arrancar, or that one Quincy and knew that he had to step in. Without wasting any time, the old man pulled out his blade and readied himself to intervene.
Before the head captain did that, Yoruichi had just defeated her old student, Soi-Fon. Soi-Fon had tried to hit her former teacher and the woman she once looked at like she was a goddess with her Suzumebachi. When that didn't work, she had tried Shunko only to realize that Yoruichi's was far more mastered than hers. She was knelt down on the floor and breathed tirelessly as she could feel her body start to shut down on her.
"I'm sorry Soi-Fon." Yoruichi said as she looked to her beaten and bruised former protege. "But I refuse to have you or anyone else killing Ichigo."
"Why?" Soi-Fon asked as she struggled to lift herself up off the ground. "Why do you value that monster more than you value me?" She looked to former personal goddess with tears forming in her eyes.
Yoruichi sighed and lowered her head before raising it to answer. "Because he's not a monster. He's my son."
Soi-Fon lowered her head and passed out from her injuries while Yoruichi sighed in sadness. Before she or anyone else could react though, the head captain had released his shikai. Flames shot all around the area and the crew could feel the intense heat that surrounded them all. It was starting to get hard to breath and to even see above the flames. Some of the arrancar had tried to fire pass the flames with cero, but that was completely useless as the cero would simply dissipate in the flames.
The head captain sighed in relief as he assumed that this little war would be over before it would even start. Unfortunately for him an the rest of the soul reapers that were present, a certain long, black haired teen decided to make himself known at that very moment. Ichigo and Tia flashed down in front of the soul reaper forces and stared them down for a few brief seconds before Ichigo decided to rid the flames all together. Ichigo did this by simply waving his had hand to the flames, blowing them away with little to no effort. This surprised the soul reapers but didn't even faze Ichigo's crew at all.
"Wow. You know it's really weird how fires can go out so fast just by some wind isn't it." Ichigo joked to the old man. He noticed the looks of confusion and maybe even shock at what he had just done and possibly what this meant for the what happened to the central 46.
"Ichigo Kurosaki!" The head captain bellowed out much to everyones surprise. "What did you do?!"
"Well, for one me and Tie just got finished taking care of the central 46." He started in a calm tone as he looked to Tia with a smile. He turned back to the old man and saw the look of shock much like everyone else. "And now I'm about to tell ya this, we're about to leave. If any of you decide to come and attack us again, then next time won't be so well for ya'll."
Ichigo opened up a garganta for everyone in his family to leave through. Just when they started making their way inside, the head captain had released an intense amount of spiritual pressure. Everyone in Ichigo's crew stopped and turned back to see the head captain stare straight at Ichigo with killer intent. Ichigo sighed and turned to the old man with a look of disappointment. The old man looked to the teen with clear anger in his eyes and flames spreading across the entire area.
"You have disrespected our laws and our ways for the last time, Kurosaki!" Yamamoto bellowed in anger as the flames started to rage even further out of control. "You expect to simply kill the very backbone of our ways and then just walk away with no consequences?!"
Ichigo looked to the Yamamoto and gave one defiant smirk. "Yeah. Pretty much."
That was the last straw for the old man. He raised his zanpakuto into the air and summoned the full might of his power into one colossal flame. He sent it straight at the teen and his family with a roar of his energy. Everyone within the garganta were either on edge or simply terrified by the head captains attack, but Ichigo hadn't even flinched. In one swift motion that many would think impossible, Ichigo used his blade to cut through the flames, disappear from sight completely only to reappear in front of the old man nano-seconds later. Yamamoto didn't even feel that he had been stabbed through the chest until he felt himself suddenly losing blood. He looked down to himself and could tell that he had lost this battle. Yamamoto looked to Ichigo and saw that the teen had a look of both sorrow and disappointment. The now dying head captain could tell that the teen did not want this to happen, and yet, he could tell that Ichigo would not hesitate to do the same to anyone who threatened his family. That type of conviction was something that had caused the old man to let out a small smirk. At least he could die knowing that the one to bring him down was truly worthy of it.
Ichigo removed his blade and Yamamoto fell to the ground, lifeless. Every soul reaper present watched in both shock, horror and awe at how easily Ichigo had defeated their leader. Said teen looked to them and gave a stern look to them all before heading for the garganta. He had done what he set out to accomplish, and now it was up to all of them to decided whether to continue the attack, or finally yield to someone whom they would never be able to defeat.
