Chapter 7 – Beginning Of The End

Zoro saw the avalanche of sand back in the direction he left Luffy and Chopper. "Luffy can handle him, whoever it is," thought Zoro as he prepared his six arms for an attack.

Kenpachi looked solemnly at Zoro then closed his eyes. "His power's grown quiet a bit," he thought. "I have to use Kendo."

Kenpachi placed both hands on his blade, which was a first for this fight. "Did you know Zoro that putting both hands on a sword can make your blows a lot more powerful?"

"Of course," said Zoro, still in an offensive stance.

"I don't like using Kendo because it ends the fight too quickly, and frankly, I think it's a little annoying to use," said Kenpachi as his spiritual pressure made the air thick. "But I think you can handle it."

Zoro had had enough waiting and charged Kenpachi with all six of his arms in a thrust.

Zoro stuck Kenpachi with a serious look on his face; he'd never fought someone who could sustain so much damage as him.

Kenapchi swung down at Zoro with a smile on his face; he was thinking the exact same thing.

Zoro dug each of his swords into Kenpachi's stomach and slashed outwards. Kenpachi came down on Zoro hitting his shoulder his entire right side off in the massive explosion that happens every time Kenpachi uses Kendo to swing his blade.

Both warriors stepped back in pain. Kenpachi looked at his stomach and smiling, he relished the pain of battle.

Zoro was less then amused, "Damn! My fuckin arms!"

Kenpachi took his other hand off his sword and reverted back to the stance he was using before he decided to use Kendo.

"You'd better give up Zoro, I don't wanna kill you, and maybe I can fight you again."

"Never!" yelled Zoro as he charged Kenpachi, bleeding profusely. "I'll never lose to another swordsman, never!"

"Idiot," said Kenpachi as he sliced through Zoro's swords remaining swords and one of the swords in his mouth. Kenpachi's sword went into Zoro's head and cleaved his brain in two, killing him instantly.

"Fool doesn't know when to quit," said Kenpachi as he shouldered his weapon and walked off towards the wave of sand he had noticed.

L, Ed, and Al were walking down towards the city. "So, what's your plan L?" said Ed as he walked along side of Al.

L, still inside of Al, replied, "You know I cannot tell you that Edward, just trust me for now and I can guarantee your safety." "Now tell me," continued L, "It's true the two of you are alchemists? Like the kind in old lore?"

"Yea, I suppose," replies Edward with his hands behind his head.

"Good, it was fortunate I found you two."

Ichigo was nowhere to be found in the city. He flew off the second he killed Alucard.

The minute the three reached the city L hopped out of Al's chest and began his trademark crouched shuffle ahead of the two. "Where are we going?" asked Al.

L didn't respond, instead he kept walking until he found what he was looking for. L entered the old McDonald's and went into the back where the meals are cooked.

"What are we doing here?" said Ed as L stuck a knife in the door of the microwave bypassing the microwave's safety feature.

"Al, will you please open your chest cavity?" said L.

"Ok," said Al, opening his stomach.

L motioned for Al to lean closer to the microwave. L fit the microwave inside of Al, next to the collar around his blood seal and started it.

L lifted his machine gun and yelled aloud, "It's time you died Al," L fired his machine gun on Al's back, the bullets all ricocheted of course.

It was only the audio L was concerned about. He was making it sound as if he was killing the two brothers as the microwave fried the circuitry of their collars.

Al stepped back from the microwave and it was Ed's turn, Ed understood what was happening at this point and quickly started the microwave up again and leaned his neck close to it.

"AL!" he yelled, "What have you done? You've betrayed us L!"

Al was of course, fine; Ed was simply playing the part. L fired off 3 shots into the ceiling the second before Ed's collar malfunctioned.

"I've done it," said L aloud, "Why do I feel regret? Why do I feel as if I shouldn't have killed those two poor unsuspecting boys? Who am I kidding? I can't complete the rest of this game alone! I'm better off dead!"

L turned the microwave on again and leaned closer to it, just as Ed had done. L fired a shot into the ceiling into the ceiling giving the impression he killed himself. With all of their circuitry fried L began the next phase of his plan.

Aizen and Beyond Birthday arrived at a house with a large crater next to it. "There is someone inside that house," said Beyond Birthday pointing to the house.

"Now we shall see if you've been telling the truth about your eyes Ryuzaki," said Aizen as he entered the house before Beyond Birthday.

Aizen was greeted by a shotgun blast by Light Yagami. Aizen simply disappeared before the shot hit him with a simple flash step.

"It appears you weren't lying after all Ryuzaki," said Aizen as he appeared behind Light and laid his sword across his neck.

"RYUZAKI?!?" thought Light. He could hardly contemplate what had happened. "L has beaten me?" Ryuzaki stepped into the house with the Glock G22 he got from Maka Albarn loaded and aimed at Light's head.

"Hello Light Yagami," said Beyond Birthday as he aimed his gun at Light's head. "My eyes tell me that it's your time to die."

"Impossible!" thought Light "L has the shinigami eyes? Is he messing with my head?" "Damn you L!" said Light as he fought against Aizen's grip.

"L? What does L have to do with anything?" said Beyond Birthday aloud.

Light looked confused. "L, what are you talking about?"

"You think I'm L? How sadly mistaken you are. I am B."

Light's eyes opened wide, "You look exactly like L."

Light's mind was working faster then it had ever worked before, "B isn't L, but B knew my name, B said it was my time to die. He can see names and times of death. B has the shinigami eyes, which must mean he is from my dimension. B, B, B, B… The BB murder cases! I've already killed this person! This person is Beyond Birthday!"

Beyond Birthday had had enough of this person's insane ranting, "Goodbye Light Yagami."

"Your name is Beyond Birthday! You were behind the BB murder cases!" said Light hoping to throw Beyond Birthday off track.

Beyond Birthday paused in absolute shock, but just for a moment, he then fired his Glock G22 and hit Light square in the head, killing him.

"What an interesting one that was," remarked Aizen as he let go of Light's dead body.

Light's dead body fell down the flight of stairs that it had been standing on top of and came to rest right at Beyond Birthday's feet.

"Is your name really Beyond Birthday?" said Aizen as he descended the stairs.

"Of course not," said Beyond Birthday as he examined Light's body. "The Program probably drove him insane, what kind of a name is that anyway?"

Beyond Birthday noticed a notebook tucked into Light's shirt and he removed it.

Beyond Birthday read it silently to himself as Aizen walked outside disregarding Beyond Birthday.

"It appears you have been telling the truth about your eyes Ryuzaki."

"My name is Beyond Birthday," said Beyond Birthday suddenly sounding more hostile and in control.

"What do you mean Ryuzaki?" said Aizen turning to look at Beyond Birthday.

"The book isn't lying," said Beyond Birthday holding up the notebook, "The person whose name is written in this notebook will die."

Aizen looked confused.

"I wrote your name down Aizen, and guess what? The date of your death changed. You'll die in 5 seconds, my eyes don't lie, even if I do."

Aizen instantly knew he'd been betrayed and unsheathed his sword. "Shatter Kayoku Suigetsu."

"Oh please," said Beyond Birthday, "You're already dead."

Before Aizen could do anything with Beyond Birthday under his shikai he died of a heart attack.

"I'm back in the game," said Beyond Birthday walking away from the massacre.

*****

Luffy was in the middle of a heated battle with Gaara. Luffy's Gear 3 fist was traveling towards Gaara's ultimate offensive attack, Halberd of Shukaku.

Luffy was in a rage as he sent his huge fist plummeting at Gaara.

Gaara maintained his composure, sure of himself, as his hardened halberd flew at Luffy's inflated hand.

The two connected and Luffy cried out in pain. The halberd had gone straight through his arm and up through his shoulder. His arm popped like a balloon against a needle. Gaara smiled. Luffy was still deep in his sand.

Gaara began to pull Luffy downwards. Luffy shot unhurt hand out to a nearby tree and grabbed ahold. The sand still held him and continued to pull him down, unearthing the tree Luffy was grabbing onto in the process.

Gaara's head silhouetted by the sun was the last thing Luffy saw as his head was completely submerged in sand.

Gaara went back to where he first saw Luffy and Chopper and collected their grenades and the German Luger Zoro had left there adding them to the sniper rifle he had been issued but hadn't needed to use yet.

Gaara heard something and turned to look at the new person who had just showed their face. Gaara was face to face with Kenpachi Zaraki.

"So you made the sand wave, eh little boy?" said Kenpachi smiling evilly.

24 down, 11 to go
