Tournament: the best of the Best: Semifinals!
1. Ulquiorra vs. Grimmjow
(in the ring)
Announcer: Welcome to the semifinals! Thank you for coming here today! For the first match, it's feline/lunatic Grimmjow versus the emotionless Ulquiorra! You may begin!
Grimmjow: Does that moron ever shut up?! Whatever, looks like it's just you an' me, Ulquiorra. No backing out now… heh heh… (smirks at Ulquiorra)
Ulquiorra: ……If I kill him, Aizen-sama will just appoint someone else in his place. Most likely, that person will be stupider and more persistent. If I simply give him a serious injury, onna can heal him…… (continues to think about his options)
Grimmjow: Hey, hurry up over there! I'm bored!……… (Ulquiorra ignores him) -- you, If you won't come to me, I'll come and kill you! (charges at Ulquiorra)
Ulquiorra: (sidesteps and sticks his arm out, catching Grimmjow in the neck) silence, baka. I will come when I feel like coming, not before.
Grimmjow: gags (attempts to grab Ulquiorra's arm and fling him down, but misses and loses his balance)
Ulquiorra: baka… (suddenly charges forward and kicks the semi-helpless Grimmjow high into the air)
Grimmjow: -- -- -- (long stream of curses A/N due to my personal code, I am forbidden from putting Grimmjow's and other people's bad language into print)
(Ulquiorra sonidos over to where Grimmjow will land, then, as Grimmjow falls towards him, sticks his hand into Grimmjow's hollow-hole and slams him into the ground using the edge of said hollow-hole to increase the force. Something breaks. Not Ulquiorra's hand. Ulquiorra then steps back, allowing Grimmjow some reaction/recovery time.)
Grimmjow: …… (temporarily stunned) koff so… you actually… have some fight in you… eh? (gets to his feet) --, that hurt. Guess I'll have to pay you back double, won't I?
Ulquiorra: (charges up an energy blast) stop talking, baka. It's irritating.
Grimmjow: Oh, no, you don't! (slams his own Cero into Ulquiorra's, forcing the two opposing energies to meld and clash. Both Espada are blown backwards by a large explosion. Smoke engulfs the arena.)
(in the crowd)
Aizen: …Interesting… so Ulquiorra can be aggressive… I must learn how to tap into that aggressiveness when we return to Hueco Mundo.
(on the sidelines)
Sango: those two remind me of two certain pairs over here… (looks pointedly at Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Itachi, and Sasuke, the latter of which ignore her)
Inuyasha: I haven't a clue what you're talking about!
Sesshomaru: There are many things you are clueless about, half-breed fool.
Inuyasha: Hey! You're going down for that! (attacks Sesshomaru)
(in the ring)
Announcer: A fight has begun on the sidelines! Someone, separate them! Back in the arena, still no sign of the combata—wait, what was that?
(Two shapes can be seen through the smoke. One, the taller is dashing toward the other, smaller figure, which is just standing up)
Grimmjow: I got you now, Ulquiorra! Die! (draws zanpakutoh and stabs the smaller arrancar)
Ulquiorra: … (moves just enough so that the zanpakutoh misses its target)
Grimmjow: What the --? (His zanpakutoh missed Ulquiorra's chest, and instead pierced the other's jacket collar at the neck)
Announcer: I believe this is game over for our smaller contestant, folks! Hang on, what's this?
Ulquiorra: (grasps the blade of Grimmjow's zanpakutoh) too bad, trash. You missed. (tightens his grip, the blade cutting into his hand, and breaks Grimmjow's zanpakutoh)
Grimmjow: What the--? Oh, --! You --, you broke my sword!!
Ulquiorra: (vanishes then reappears behind Grimmjow) Exactly. You tried to stab my hollow hole, baka. Announcer, this round is over. (Point-blank cero to Grimmjow's head. Grimmjow's head is blown off)
Announcer: ………note to self: never annoy Ulquiorra…… (recovers mental capacity) And the winner of this round: Ulquiorra Schiffer! Ulquiorra will move on to the finals! Eh, Orihime, could you please reattach Grimmjow's head with your Souten Kisshun? His fans are looking a bit scary right now, and I'd hate for a massacre to occur if they try to kill Ulquiorra.
Orihime: Hai, I'm coming… (looks a bit harassed and tired no wonder, she's been busy since the tournament started)
Ulquiorra: onna, you will rest when you have finished healing him.
Orihime: (almost jumps out of her skin not literally, people.) Eep! Ah, yessir, Ulquiorra-san……
(in the crowd)
Aizen: ………interesting…… and I used to think Ulquiorra was a pacifist…
(on the sidelines)
Karasu: heh heh heh… that one will make an excellent kill…
Sasuke: Are you forgetting something, creep? You've gotta get through me first!
Karasu: heh, I plan on it. Just don't go down too easy, kid. I want a good fight to take the edge off my bloodlust… heh heh heh…
Naraku: that one's even creepier than I am… (inwardly shudders)
END
A/N: I hope I didn't screw that one up too badly. I'm getting a bit tired of this, so I'm really glad it's almost over. Just two more rounds… sigh Anyway, Sasuke vs. Karasu in the next round! In other news, I might revise this into paragraph format instead of its current format. Also, I'm starting a new Tournament! Whoo! It's the Best of the Bad, where I sic my favorite villains and creepy weirdo freaks on each other! May the most disturbing person win! (Man, that sounded weird.)
