Chapter 4

Protector's Wrath

When the dust cleared, it revealed the four Arrancar women from before. They were all starring at him and Orihime on the cliffs. All, but the blonde hair Arrancar had their weapons out, preparing to strike when necessary.

"What are you doing here?" Ichigo yelled at the Arrancar, so he could be heard.

The horned Arrancar just yelled back. "What do you think? Kill you and get the chick back to Aizen-sama, you Idiota (Spanish:Idiot)."

The blonde haired Arrancar spoke "Apache, calm yourself." she spoke calm, but her eyes never leaving the shinigami before her.

The Horned Arrancar, named Apache quiet instantly at her mistresses words. "Yes Harribel-Sama." she said quietly revealing the blonde arrancar name.

"Hey Apache, if we face this guy, can you deal with him on your own or are we going to have to do the work for you." The Amazon looking Arrancar said with a cocky grin at Apache.

"What the hell that supposed to mean, Mila?" Apache yelled at the Arrancar named Mila.

"I'm just saying that if you're too weak to handle him just step aside and let the rest of us take care of him." Mila spoke with not only a cocky smile, but a cocky tone to her fellow Arrancar.

Apache just formed her own cocky grin and said "I could say the same thing to you Mila. Your so weak I'm surprised you could lift ten pounds with both arms" They started to slam their heads together, leering fiercely at each other.

The quiet looking Arrancar just looked at them and said "You two are so immature." She said with a bored tone that mirrored her face.

"What you say Sun-Sun!" Both Mila and Apache yelled at the Arrancar Sun-Sun, who just looked away, put her sleeve over her mouth and rolled her eye.

Both Orihime, and Ichigo had sweat dropped at this display of character these Arrancar showed. If it wasn't for Harribel watching them, he thought they would have completely forgotten them.

Suddenly a new figure appeared. A tall black arrancar. He had the stander uniform. His head had spikes in the center of his head, going from the crown of his head to the back. A skull cross bone earrings on both ears. He also had a bone like necklace around his neck. He had a sword that was an arm length long and the guard had small spike around the edge.

The three Arrancar women, Sun-Sun, Apache, and Mila bowed their head lightly at the present of the newcomer.

Halibel just look and said "Zommari, what are you doing here?"

The arrancar named Zommari just said calmly "I'm here to finish the job that Āronīro couldn't finish Harribel-sama." He eyed Rukia showing he was planning to kill her. "But it appear that I have to do more. If you'll allow me?"

Harribel just nodded and said "Do what you will."

Zommari bowed show his gratitude. And turned his head toward the Shinigami standing in his way. He unsheathed his sword, pointed it at Ichigo and said "What is your name Shinigami?"

Ichigo knowing their was going to be a fight got his own sword out in the fighting position and said. "Ichigo Kurosaki, and yours"

"Zommari Leroux the Séptima Espada (Spanish:Seven Sword; Japanese:Seventh of the Ten Sword)" he said as he disappeared in a wave of static and appeared behind Ichigo and swung his blade horizontally.

Ichigo saw this and was shocked by the speed and quickly Shunpo away, missing the blade.

Zommari realizing he missed said to were Ichigo was "Impressive, you dodge my Sonido (Spanish:Sound; Japanese:Transfer Effect)."

Ichigo stood his ground knowing this guy was playing with him. He saw him disappear in a wave of static, and appear behind him again. This time he backed flipped and sliced him. Only to cut nothing that appeared to be an aftermath image, while the real him stood two feet away.

"The Gemelos Sonido (Spanish and Japanese: Sound Twin) is my special technique. Of all the Espada, my is the fastest." Zommari

"Neat trick. But…" He disappeared in a flash behind Zommari and slashed. Knowing it would be a dud he turned himself around to his back in time to slash the real Zommari. "…I got a few of my own."

Zommari appeared again unharmed and Ichigo started in shock.

Zommari then said "By that expression, you thought you got me. My Gemelos Sonido is not limited to two aftermath clones, but…" He disappeared and five more appeared around Ichigo. "…But a maximum of five." They all stabbed him in the gut and Ichigo spit out blood. Orihime had her hand over her mouth and was horrified.

Zommari was revealed to be in front of Ichigo and slid his blade out "Farewell Ichigo Kurosaki. The reason for your demise was you arrogance of your thoughts of victory."

He then heard a low but heavy panting noise coming from the body before him.

"So your still alive?" Zommari said. Orihime was a bit more relief at this but still worried.

Ichigo on the other hand wasn't breathing so hard because of the wound. But the same thing that happen with Nnoitra was happening again. He heard the screams of not Arrancars, but Shinigami. He killed to saint his own hatred. Killed when he didn't need to defend himself. All those screams he heard when he made contact with him, It was burning him.

Harribel notice something odd was going on. First the boy surviving a fatal wound. Then when that wound was form she felt a change of energy in the boys reiatsu pattern.

Zommari walk forward to Ichigo noticing the reiatsu as well. Thinking it was best to kill him now before thing got out of hand he lifted his blade up and swung it down quickly.

A loud bang was heard and felt by Orihime that sat with both Rukia and Chad away from the fight and put her shield up.

Harribel and her fracción shield their eyes from the dust and burst of energy. They were also terrified. They felt like a intense evil looking down upon them, ready to slaughter them. When the dust settled they saw…

Zommari felt the blast more severely and was pushed back. When he look he saw the same thing that the other Arrancar saw with indescribable fear.

Ichigo standing with his usual ghastly appearance with the Hollow mask and a body that was encased in flames.

Ichigo pointed his finger at Zommari and said in his normal deep echoing voice "You…Guilty!"

Zommari and Harribel fracción were confused by what he meant. While Harribel stood, starring interested.

Meanwhile, on the side where Orihime, Chad and Rukia were at. Rukia and Chad were starting to wake up from a sudden blast that sounded like a gun firing next to their ear. They got up and saw they were right next to each other and looked around and saw Orihime and a little girl beside her.

"Orihime?!" Both questioned the women in front of them, who turned her head in confirmation of their suspicion, and then they saw a skeleton with robes and covered in flames holding a black sword, standing in front of a dark skin Arrancar.

Orihime seeing her friends wake said "Oh hi Rukia, hi Chad!" See greeted her friend.

Although they both had a lot of questions, Rukia the only one to ask them. "Orihime what are you doing here, what's Chad doing here, and what the hell that thing over their!" she pointed her index finger at the flame encased figure.

Orihime rubbed the back of her head hearing all these question, but before she could answer any of them, they all heard Zommari voice.

"This is indeed an unexpected surprise. What have you done to yourself Kurosaki-san?" He spoke in his stoic tone.

"Ichigo!' both Rukia and Chad thought shocked at the identity of the figure being Ichigo.

"None of your business Zommari." Ichigo snapped at the Espada.

Zommari tilted his head down and closed his eyes. "Very well…" He then disappeared and five of him appeared around Ichigo and stabbed him in multiple places this time. "…You will not survive this one again."

Imagine the look on his, Chad, and Rukia face, who just saw and shock thinking he was died this time. But shocked once more when they saw Ichigo head move down in front of him and punch Zommari five feet away.

Zommari got back up and said " I see. So you can't be killed just by stabbing you. I'll just have to try something else." He then spread his legs out and bent them, and put his arm in a position as if he was meditating. With his sword flouting in front of him.

"Suppress, Brujería (Spanish:Witchcraft; Japanese:Sangha of Bewitching Eyes)" Smoke erupted from him and revealed his form.

His entire body was covered in eyes from his head, body, hand, and his pumpkin-like legs.

Ichigo starred at this form autonomously. Knowing it was more dangerous then it looked. Suddenly he thought it was about to attack and Shunpo to the left. Nothing happened.

"You were wise to move, but your too late Kurosaki." He said as Ichigo left hand showed a mark that looked like an eye with a sun like edge. His hand started to go to him intending to choke him. Through his willpower preventing this from happening.

"This is Brujería's technique, Amor (Spanish and Japanese:Love). It is able to take control of anything I see. Normally the weakness of this technique is for me to see my target. But with Fifty Eyes. I Have no blind spot."

Ichigo was listening to all this, but still struggling with his hand. Finally in frustration, he loaded a lot of hellfire in the mark and the mark disappear being overloaded.

"Impressive…" Ichigo turned his head to Zommari "So you used your own energy to stop my Amor by overloading it. I applaud you, but can you stop this one." An eye suddenly blackened again and the mark appeared on his head.

When I strike any part of the body I can control that part, But if I strike the head I can control the whole body."

Suddenly Ichigo whole body was moving against his will. His body turned to Orihime and the others.

"I think I'll have you end your friends lives for me. All except for the girl…" He indicated Orihime "She is still needed for Aizen-Sama."

"I Don't Think So!" Ichigo voice raised and fire started to pour out of his body and the mark on his head vanished. He then cried

"Getsuga Tensho! (Japanese:Moon Fang Pierce of the Heaven)"and black flames-like energy were erupting out of his blade at Zommari. An explosion was insured when the energy made contact with Zommari

When the blaze stopped. It revealed a huge skull decorated ball. An arm flung out from the ball revealing Zommari slightly harmed and panting. He looked furious.

"You…Unforgivable!" Zommari grunted furiously He unleashed another one of his spells to strike, only for Ichigo to block with his own energy and the attack dissolved.

Zommari saw his normal attacks weren't working, but was preparing another When he felt Ichigo's Blade on his neck.

'P-P-Please spar me." Zommari begged

Ichigo just said "Did you hear that very line from you victims. The ones you despise for there very existence. The ones you killed just to saint your own hatred against them. The ones…"

"Enough!" Zommari interrupted "What do you know of our suffering by your hands, Shinigami!" He yelled furiously.

"You who hunt us, kill us just thinking you helping us, You know nothing!" He shouted even more.

Ichigo heard this words and knew this guy had the same thoughts as Nel. Thinking Shinigami were the bad guy and they were the neutral. He also knew that unlike Nel, his soul spoke otherwise. He felt hatred towards all shinigami. He killed any that crossed his path. And that was an unforgivable.

"You have your rights to think of us as your enemies, but you must be prepared to take the consequences of you action Zommari." Ichigo said as he lowered his blade and Zommari head turned and met him in the eye

Ichigo then grabbed his neck and made him look directly in to his eye.

"Look in to my Eyes! Your soul is stained by the blood of the innocence. Feel their pain!"

Zommari started to scream and felt the same thing as Nnoitra had. Unimaginable pain. Only receiving it more with every sin he saw until finally he dissolved in to nothing.

Ichigo seeing his next victim gone turned his head towards the ledge Where the other Arrancar were only to see they were gone.

He turned his head back to where Orihime was, and also found both Chad and Rukia were awake and gawking at him. Well more Rukia then Chad, But he could still tell Chad was just as shocked about what happen.

Before he could explain anything. He felt like something huge was descending upon him.
