Some of the characters maybe a bit OC as it will also feature a few OCC attacks that I created for this chapter so please don't hate.

Fourteen: final battle

After Ichigo had marked Orihime as his mate, the young woman's power surged forth. Orihime's true form as the sun princess also began to break through. She became much older as her body developed nicely. Ichigo wasn't one to drool over a woman's shape but, he couldn't help but to admire Orihime's luscious curves. A pair of large white angelic wings emerged from out of Orihime's back as her snowflake pins transformed into tiny fairies. The fairies flew all around Orihime happily as their soft bell-like voices rang out Orihime's name.

"Orihime... You're beautiful..." Ichigo grunted out in pain. Suddenly, without warning a pair of leathery black demonic wings ripped out of Ichigo's back. Also a long reptilian-like tail ripped out of Ichigo's tailbone as the tail had a black flame tip at the end. The missing demonic horn also reappeared as he kept all the markings that appeared on his body. Ichigo could hear Orihime's soft voice and feel her healing light wash over his body alleviating the pain.

*Ouch... That's going to leave a mark.* stated a familiar dark voice in the back of Ichigo's mind.

*Shiro...?!* Ichigo asked in shock not expecting to hear his inner demon ever again.

*Yeah... I'm back king. If I had to guess for the reason why, I would have to say that it's because of your princess and her powers.* replied Shiro.

'So the form that I had just transformed into must be my truest form.' Ichigo thought to himself. *Hey Shiro... It's good to have you back.*

*It's good to be back Ichi.*

After Ichigo and Orihime's transformation, the two went to the Defense Core where all of the sun and moon people where gathered. The two kingdoms began training to learn the fully control their powers and abilities. Meanwhile as the two kingdoms trained. the two leaders of the Hollows prepared to strike against the two kingdoms and the humans.

"It's time that we finally end this once and for all!" roared out Ginjo to the vast Hollow army that stood before him. The Hollows roared out in a rally cry as the large group made their way to the human world. The Hollows wouldn't give up as they desired a place that would satisfy their needs. The human world's resources and countless energy and human souls would finally satisfy their endless appetite. They have done this to many countless worlds and planets as they devoured all of the resources, energy, and souls they could before going onto the next world or planet. This is why they feared the rise of the two kingdoms, the sun and the moon. These were the only two kingdoms in existence that could wipe them out and they feared and hated that.

Several hours had passed since all of the sun people had their powers awakened because of the marks on them made by their moon mates. Each of them had to learn quickly how to control and use their powers. Both Retsu and Orihime were better suited at healing than fighting. With Szayel being a scientist, he could help out with any and all wounded. This left Ichigo, Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Coyote, Nell, Tier, Toshiro, Nnoritora, Yoruichi, Mashiro, and Lilynette to deal with the Hollows and their leaders. Orihime with her full powers released could create a barrier to protect the humans that resided within the palace. Her barriers were much stronger than before as they were strengthened by the six fairies that were once her hairpins. With the proper spell chant, she could have the barrier rebound the energy back to its attacker. Ichigo's powers because of his newest transformation was ten times stronger than normal. So it was decided that he would fight the leaders. That left everyone else to deal with the Hollow army that the two leaders would possibly bring with them.

Night seemed to descend faster than normal as Ichigo could sense a whole lot of Hollows approaching the castle. Ichigo gave a quick kiss to Orihime on her cheek.

"Please be careful Ichigo." Orihime stated.

"Don't worry Princess. I will return to you." Ichigo stated as he and the warriors went to stand outside of the palace. Ichigo could feel Orihime raise up the barrier once they were outside. An army twice the size of the one he faced before with Yami and Aaroneiro descended upon the human world.

*Damn... That's a lot of Hollows.* Shiro stated.

*I know but I know that our people and some of Orihime's people can handle them.* Ichigo replied to his other half. Ichigo could see two beings that stood out from the rest of the Hollows. 'Those two must be their leaders.' Ichigo thought as they looked more human than Hollow.

Ichigo watched as the one with brown hair transformed. Multiple holes opened up on his chest as his wings transformed each having a head and a mouth. His face split open revealing a black skull and all white eyes with no visible irises and/or pupils (Aizen's full Hollow transformation). Aizen unleashed a mighty roar that shook the ground and caused the trees to quake.

"Kill them all. Leave no one alive!" roared out Ginjo and Aizen in unison. The Hollows roared out as they all raced forward.

"Whatever happens... Don't hold back." Ichigo told everyone. The moon people unleashed their demonic forms (resurrection forms) as he could feel their powers surge into and through him. Ichigo could also see the sun people releasing their powers as they too transformed. Yoruichi became much like Grimmjow as her body took on cat-like features only they were made of lightning (flash god black cat warrior princess mode). Mashiro had a bug-like mask that covered her face (visored mask) and Nnoritora had six arms and horns that looked like a scythe come out of his head. Each arm held a weapon (resurrection form). The warriors charged forward meeting the Hollow army attacking the creatures.

Ichigo opened up his newfound wings when he saw Ginjo take off with glowing pink fairy looking wings heading straight for him. Ichigo meet his attack causing Tensa Zengetsu to form in his hands almost instantly. Ichigo had stopped Ginjo's large broad sword from trying to cleave Ichigo in half. Ichigo could see an energy blast (cero) heading his way as he fought Ginjo. Ichigo's tail moved swatting the blast away like it was nothing straight back at Aizen. This caused Ginjo to snarl at the moon prince.

"Getsuga Tensho (moon fang heaven piercer)!" muttered Ginjo as he tried to blast Ichigo while he was up close to the moon prince.

"Blut Vene (blood vein)!" Ichigo whispered as the blood in his veins hardened protecting Ichigo from the blast.

*That damn bastard is using our powers against us!* roared out Shiro mentally.

*Then let's show him our true power Shiro.* Ichigo stated as he could feel his zanpakuto and Shiro's power flow through him. "Hakaisha Kyuuten (heavens destroyer)!"

The blast cleaved Ginjo completely in half causing the energy to devour the two halves of the Hollow so that nothing remained. Ichigo could hear Aizen roar out in anger as the Hollow lord took to the sky charging straight for Ichigo.

"Jinoku-hi Tenka Bakuha (hellfire ignition blast)!" The skull's on Aizen's wings opened up their mouths as fireballs began to pelt Ichigo.

"Shiten Koshun (shield of four heavens resistance)!" stated a soft feminine voice. A barrier rose up protecting Ichigo from the blasts. Ichigo could see both Orihime, Toshiro, and Ulquiorra flying over towards him.

"Latigo (point of a whip)!" growled Ulquiorra as his glowing lance turned into a whip as it wrapped around Aizen.

"Rokui Hokentsujin (six clothed ice binding array)!" roared out Toshiro as ice rose up binding the Hollow lord. But Ichigo knew that this would not keep Aizen bound for long. Ichigo could feel Orihime's hands lace together with his.

"Let's finish this together Ichigo." Orihime stated softly. Ichigo nodded his head as the two began to combine their powers. Light and darkness began to become one.

"Taiyo Tsuki Surasshu (sun and moon slash)!"

The combined attack of light and darkness barreled straight for the trapped Aizen. Aizen managed to break free from both Toshiro's and Ulquiorra's binds but it was too late as the combined sun and moon attack completely killed off the Hollow lord. The four looked down to see the rest of their people kill off the remaining Hollows. They could hear the cheers come from the palace once all of the Hollows had been killed off. The four landed as everyone proceeded to transform back into their normal human form including both Ichigo and Orihime whom swayed a bit after transforming back. Their people gathered around them to keep them from falling.

"Is it finally over?" asked Orihime.

"Not quite my princess." replied Ichigo as the sun princess looked at him in confusion. Ichigo proceeded to kneel down onto one knee before his princess as he took out a small box from out of his robes. He opened it up to reveal a sun and moon ring. The sun was a yellow diamond while the moon was done in several small silver diamonds as it sat beautifully on a copper band. "Orihime Inoue... Princess of the Sun... Will you marry me?" Ichigo asked. Tears began to line Orihime's eyes.

"Yes... Ichigo Kurosaki... Prince of the Moon." she stated as Ichigo took the ring out of the box and slid it on her finger. Cheers went up from their people as they each hugged their mates happily at the union of their two kingdoms.
