Chapter 10
The Rage of the Monster
Orihime was busy healing Rukia's arms after things settled down with Ichigo and Byakuya around her.
Orihime said "I'm almost done, so don't worry." The shield then faded and Rukia got back up and flexed her arms. She turn to Orihime and said "Thanks Orihime."
Orihime smiled perkily and said "Your welcome."
Ichigo looked back to the spot where Barragans perished then turned to Harribel. "Harribel…" Harribel looked in his direction "Thanks for the save. I owe you."
Harribel blinked and said "No, I'm still in your debt Kurosaki-san."
Ichigo gawked at her "What do you mean?" he questioned the Arrancar
Harribel let out a light chuckle and said "You'll see."
Ichigo let out a sigh and heard a huge crack coming from above. Everyone looked up and saw the sky like scenery showing a huge jagged crack.
Harribel then looked up and said "So it's finally taking it's effect." Everyone looked at Harribel.
Ichigo spoke "What do you mean 'it's finally taking effect' Harribel?"
Harribel looked at Ichigo and said "There are two rules we Espada's must obey for the safety of the Las Noches (Spanish:The Nights; Japanese:Hollow Night Palace)
structure. First the Gran Rey Cero must not be used, and Espadas from Primera to Cuarta (Spanish:Fourth) are not allowed to release their Zanpakutō while inside the dome."
Ichigo remembered the dome creaking when Barragan released his second state. He then ask "Why didn't you release you second state in our fight?"
Harribel looked back at him and replied "Your last move caught me off guard and sparing me made me decide it was unnecessary for you to witness my Second form."
Ichigo then asked "What is that anyway? The second form deal?"
Harribel then answered "The Resurrección: Segunda Etapa is the ultimate state, which, awhile ago I achieve under no ones eye except my Fracción." Her eye drifted to Apache, Mila and Sun-Sun.
Harribel continued "How our Zanpakutō works is somewhat similar to your Sword. When we learn the names of our sword and unleash them we revive our skeleton form, which in most cases looks like an arrancar's former selves, but when those who have achieve The Resurrección: Segunda Etapa, we gain our flesh back, like what you saw before, making us more dangerous than ever before."
Everyone looked surprise. Their Zanpakutō were like their, but while normal Shinigami's Zanpakutō, only their portray their powers sealed into a sword and when unleashed that power takes a form of a weapon, which is signs of achieving the Shikai. When that power is focus to an intense degree and they harmonize with their sword, that person achieves Bankai.
With Arrancar Zanpakutō, that power effect the whole body and in effect gaining a power boost. If Harribel said was true, then their was things about these Sword that answered the mystery why Aizen preferred to use hollow's hybrids, not because of their gullibility, but because of the power they posses.
Byakuya then asked "Are their any Arrancar you know that achieved such a level."
Harribel glared at Byakuya accusingly an answered "Only two I know of. Myself and Barragan, but I only recently learned of his Resurrección: Segunda Etapa, so I don't know if any others have such a power."
Ichigo satisfied, turned his attention to another matter. He thought about how was he suppose to take on Aizen and the remaining Espada's
Meanwhile
Aizen, a brown haired man wearing a white robe that have a sense of royalty to them, sat upon his throne coolly despite the situation.
At his left side was Tōsen Kaname, a dark skinned man with unique branded hair with a clear visor over his eye, concealing his colorless eyes. He held in his right hand a sword with a guard in the shape of a tear with a ring attached.
To Aizen's right was Gin Ichimaru, a pale skin, man with silver hair, and a predator like grin. His sword was hidden in his robe with only the hilt and S-shape guard showing.
In front of the three men, on a lower floor that of the room were three figures kneeling.
The first figure was notable because of his size, towering over the other two. He was muscular, his skin held a tan toned color, a huge hole in his chest, and under his chin was a lower jaw bone with teeth symbolized his species as an Arrancar. He was Yammy.
The second figure looked like a normal sized man with dark hair and a goatee. The abnormalities were the jaw-like necklace that was attached to his chin but rested on his neck and the hole in his chest.
The third figure was covered from head to toe in white robes. His head was covered up by what appeared to looked like a Bull-shaped skull.
Aizen then spoke "It seems as if many of our officer are either dead or betrayed us." he addressing the matter to his subordinates. "In this situation I would ask each of you to eliminate them before they cause any further damage. Understood. You are allowed to use what ever force necessary to eliminate them, including releasing your Zanpakutō." Aizen informed the last of his loyal soldiers with a firm grip of authority.
"Yes, Aizen-Sama!" Yami, and the other two yelled together.
All three got up and left the room.
Tōsen then turned to Aizen and said "Don't you think it necessary for us to go with them Aizen-Sama. If this boy is powerful enough to take on the Trecera and the Segunda Espada, they will surely need more support."
Aizen spoke, not looking at his blind officer "I believe that Ichigo will head strait to me. The other will probable convince him to tackle me and leave the others to them." he then looked rolled his eyes toward Tōsen "I want you and Gin to keep him busy, while I prepare to confront him myself."
Gin then looked at Aizen and said "Oh you think we can't take care of one little ant Aizen-Sama?" Gin spoke to Aizen as if he was teasing him.
Aizen then said "No, it just a personal matter that I feel I should take care of. Now get ready." Tōsen and Gin nodded and left the room with Aizen staring into the darkness.
"If this was going to be a problem you should have killed him indefinite…" Aizen spoke as a man shape shadow formed on the wall to the side of him "…Blackheart."
The shadow spoke "Are you accusing me of letting this happen Aizen?" the shadow spoke in a bodiless voice that echoed throughout the room, it spoke as if angered.
"No, I was simply pointing out your mistake of allowing the boy to live." Aizen spoke calming the thing.
"Regardless of my father's action, are plan will proceed, I'll simple dispose of him myself." Blackheart spoke confidently
Aizen raised his hand "With your permission, I would prefer to face the boy myself." Aizen spoke trying to reason with Blackheart.
Blackheart laughed and said "You wish to face the boy because of your power desires it, Aizen, or do you just wish to see if you more powerful to take on a Ghost Rider." Blackheart spoke trying to search Aizens thoughts.
Aizen looked at the shadow with a grin that gave Blackheart the answer. Blackheart then said "If your so confident in your victory Aizen, then by all means do as you will, but beware Aizen. If you lose and return to me, their will be a price to pay." Blackheart spoke delivering his threat.
Aizen turned his head, closed his eyes and said "Don't worry the boy will be lucky to catch my shadow."
Aizen closed his eyes and opened them "On a side note, are they ready?" Aizen spoke
Blackheart chuckled "They have been gathered and upgraded. By what I can read their power level far surpasses Harribel, Barragan, and Stark combine."
Aizen chuckled "I wished you found them sooner, and maybe you wouldn't have to transferred the powers of Hidden in to them."
"The Hidden's power are only to be used as a distraction if my Father had made an attempt to stop me, nothing more." Blackheart spoke clearing his reasons.
Aizen got up from his throne and walked over to a window. "Regardless, I will be the to fight and defeat Ichigo Kurosaki…" Aizen then closed his eyes and opened them. At the corner of each eye were turning black "…after all, we're both two of a kind."
With the others
With Ichigo and the other, they already made the plan. Mayuri, being left without a Zanpakutō or any information on the enemy had opened a portal to Seireitei (Japanese:Court of Pure Souls) to inform his fellow captain of the recent events with his daughter Nemu.
Everyone else would stay behind to help fight the Arrancar, even Harribel said she would go against her brethren now that she a traitor.
Ichigo was preparing to leave on his motorcycle, only for Uryu to confront him.
"Ichigo, you know We're going to go with you to confront the enemy. So what point of you trying to sneak away?" Uryu asked Ichigo irritated.
Ichigo glared at him "Because this is my fight, I have to end Blackheart, I'm the only one of us that can do it." Ichigo said and started up his bike.
Uryu stopped him in front of his bike and growled "Ichigo, don't you remember the agreement we made before we arrived at Hueco Mundo. We would stick together. Now something new come up and you want to bail on us hoping we're just going to go to the Soul Society, awaiting your return."
"Exactly!" Ichigo said gripping his bike handle harder, And revved it up.
Uryu caught Ichigo by the collar of his uniform and yelled "Ichigo, No matter where you go or how fast you travel, we're going to with you."
Chad, Rukia, Orihime, and Renji heard this commotion and headed out to stop Ichigo.
Rukia approach him first "Look Ichigo! No matter how fast or hard you run were going to be right behind you." Rukia eyes him in his own eye.
Then suddenly a lone figure appeared in between all of then and made an attempt to stab Ichigo, only to get punched away by Chad.
They got a good look at the figure and saw that he was covered from head to toe with white robes, gloves and a human shape skull completely covering the head.
They then felt thousand of spiritual signals, but only two different beings.
They ran and saw all the captain and their allied arrancar ducking or attacking thousands and thousand of the soldiers look-a-likes that just attack them. On top of a pillar structure, they saw two figure, one of them they recognized as Yammy, but he was bigger then last time they saw him. They saw another figure that look just like the other soldier, except his head was covered by a bull-shaped skull.
Suddenly they sense a figure behind them and turned around to see an average size man with black hair, goatee, and a white jaw-like hollow mask on his neck. His arm was wrapped around Orihime's waist as the rest of his body faced everyone else and said "This is a bother, but I have my order's." and the Arrancar disappeared with Orihime before anyone could react.
"Orihime!" Ichigo yelled about to chase after the Arrancar, only for the Bull-headed arrancar to intercept them.
"You will not leave intruders." He the Arrancar spoke to them.
Uryu readied his bow as he spoke "Who are you!"
"I'm Rudobōn! Leader of The Exequias (Spanish:Funeral Rites; Japanese:Funerary Attacking Force)…." Rudobōn stated.
Rudobōn then swung his left arm around him as he said "…and if you think you can defeat me…:, and then whipped it out as he said "…think again! Grow, Árbol (Spanish:Tree; Japanese:Weathered Skull Tree)" and Rudobōn left arm was incased with twisted branched that extended below his waist that looked like roots, and along his back to look like four tree branch decorated with skulls. In his left hand was a lighting shape staff.
Suddenly the skull off of Rudobōn branches started to grow bodies and fell off as his full grown soldiers.
"These are my Calaveras (Spanish:Skulls; Japanese:Skeleton Corps)." Rudobōn informed his adversaries. "My endless supple of soldiers that make of the Exequias. The god-like ability bestowed by Aizen-Sama himself." Rudobōn gloated and the order the calaveras to begin the assault.
Everyone began to fight off the hundreds of clone soldiers
Meanwhile Yammy jumped from his post and landed to where all the Captains were, crushing many of the calaveras.
Yammy groaned as he said "Dart, none of them are the ones I want to kill…" He then grabbed the hilt of his sword that was placed under neither his belt of his uniform and unsheathed it. He then continued "…but this is better then nothing." He then spotted Harribel and Ichigo and grinned.
Yammy then opened his mouth and yelled "Hey Harribel, Strawberry…!" The two plus everyone else looked at him. "You two are the first on my list to kill."
Yammy then raised his sword and head into the air as he shouted "Destroy, Ira (Spanish:Rage; Japanese:Angry Beast)!" and Yammy began to transform.
He grew to the size of a monsters, easily towering over everyone present by a good hundred feet. His uniform ripped off completely only leaving a badly ripped cloth on his waist extending down his legs. His body looked more muscular, as well as a cylinder-like appendage on each elbow and on his back, and a tail with a club. His mask now completely covered his mouth and his tattoo on his left shoulder, that originally said ten, now said zero.
Everyone, but the Arrancar, stared at him shocked "Zero, what's that suppose to mean. I thought the Espada's were one through ten!" Ichigo yelled at Harribel.
Before Harribel could replied, Yammy intercepted her. "Who said are rank went from one to ten? Are rank goes from zero to nine." He then started to through punched at each of his enemy relentlessly and he yell "I am Cero Espada (Spanish:Zero Sword; Japanese:Zero of the Ten Sword) Yammy Rialgo!"
Everyone backed away as quickly as possible from Yammy's strike and started to batter through the Calaveras.
Ichigo then faced Yammy, began to power up and yell "Getsuga Tensho!" and the black crescent energy hit Yammy dead in the chest and it didn't even put a dent in him.
Ichigo got Yammy's attention and he started to lay even more punches then before all focused on Ichigo.
Ichigo pushing his legs left and right to avoid the massive fist and the Calavers that kept charging at him regardless of their own safety. Ichigo the started to spin in a full circle and yelled "Getsuga Tensho!" and the attack formed a full circle getting rid of all the Calavers.
Ichigo then began transformed into his Ghost Rider form and then began to run at Yammy as he powered up and yelled "Getsuga Tensho!" and the fierily blade of energy rammed into Yammy's skin full force. The problem was that the new hit only caused a small paper cut on his chest that Yammy seemed to have ignored. Yammy began to try and step on Ichigo, while Ichigo dodge.
Then one of Yammy's stomps was about to hit Ichigo head on when suddenly a blue dragon that was with out a doubt Harribel's, hit Yammy square in the face and knocking him over. Harribel appeared next to him and help lift him up.
Harribel looked over at Ichigo and said "To answer your earlier question Ichigo. The reason that Yammy's the strongest Espada is because of his combination of both size and power that is unleash when he call his Zanpakutō. With those factors not even the Espadas Primera to Certera can defeating him alone."
Ichigo took this information and cursed under his breath. He then took a look at Yammy slowly rising and took a look into Yammy's soul. He saw sin of many people death under then influences of his untamed rage and enjoyment.
Ichigo then turned to Harribel and said "His soul is corrupted. I can kill him with the Penance Stare, but with his massive size, it's not going to be easy."
Harribel nodded and replied "I agree, even with my Resurrección: Segunda Etapa, I can't control all the blood in his veins sense it's protected by a thick skin and the only possible way I can think of to breach it is if we create a large enough wound for me to force the blood out." Harribel explained to Ichigo.
Ichigo nodded "In other words if I create a large wound, you can bring him down." Ichigo said while receiving a nod from Harribel.
Suddenly a horde of Calaveras started to slash their swords at both Harribel and Ichigo. In response starting to gut each of them and clear them out of the way before they dealt with Yammy.
With Everyone else, they were near the source of the Calaveras, near Rudobōn.
Chad was using multiple shots of his El Directo (Spanish: The Direct; Japanese:The Strike of the Giant) to get rid of the Calveras, but ever time he got rid of a few, many more take their place thanks to Rudobōn's ability.
Renji was swing his Hihiō Zabimaru in random direction, slicing and slamming the many drones that moved too close to him.
Uryu, Apache, Mila, and Sun-Sun were all together dealing with their brand of enemies closing in on everyone else that couldn't fight well or was recovering.
Next Rukia was next to her brother, Byakuya, slashing at the swarming army of Calaveras. Only to be met with the similar problem as everyone else.
Byakuya then turned to Rukia and said "Their only one way to end this." Rukia understood the message and shouted to her allies and friend "Run!" and everyone looked at her question, but followed when they saw Byakuya lift his sword up and let it go.
"Bankai…" Byakuya sword said as his sword started to slip into the ground. When the sword was completely absorb in to the sand, two rows of large blade rose from the ground. "…Scatter, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (Japanese:Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms)." and the blades crumbled into petal-like blades and began to swirl around the area, massacring all the Calaveras.
Rudobōn who had witness Byakuya's Bankai forming had used the Sonido to get away from the assault.
Soon the infinite amount of Calaveras reduced to nothing.
Rudobōn look at the damage done by Byakuya attack, then glared at Byakuya himself and stated "If you think that's going to stop me…" Then six more branches pop out of his back and began to replace the dead Calaveras "…Your dead wrong."
Suddenly all the leaf like blades began to swarm around Rudobōn and what Calaveras he produced and Byakuya then spoke "For someone with a god-like ability, you certainly are pathetically relent on it, and for that insult this death is suitable for you."
The cherry blossoms started to swirl like a tornado till it completely covered Rudobōn. Then Byakuya spoke to his fellow comrades and said "You best stand far away." All the Shinigami's nodded and grabbed hold of the others and Shunpo a great distances away from the site.
Byakuya then spoke "Gōkei (Japanese:Pivotal Scene)." and quickly Shunpo away before the cherry blossoms drove themselves inward, tearing its victims apart and exploded.
When the cherry blossoms cleared the site had nothing left except blood covered sand.
Byakuya recalled his swords back and they began to reform into Byakuya's original Zanpakutō form.
Byakuya and the other then looked towards where they heard a large explosion, and saw Yammy slamming his fist upon the ground relentlessly and figured that Ichigo and their allied Arrancar must be active.
Yammy was swinging his fist and tail in random directions to make sure that his enemies could think of anyway to escape.
As for Ichigo and Harribel, neither could stand still long enough to get a good shot. Yammy kept flinging every part of his body around to make sure they were on the move.
Yammy continued to slammed his fist as he paused and said "What's the matter guys, too soft on you?!"
Ichigo and Harribel he was just trying to slow them down, to get a good shot in.
Suddenly one of Yammy's arm was aiming true by pure luck chances was about to crush Ichigo dead on.
Suddenly hundreds of arrows had struck Yammy's face that forced him to lose his balance and topple over.
Ichigo and Harribel saw Uryu and everyone appearing to their area.
Uryu ran over to Ichigo and said "You go and get Orihime we're take care of him." His eyes then turned toward Yammy, who was getting up.
Ichigo replied "No you need my help! You…" Ichigo protest was halted by Rukia.
"Look Ichigo, as I see it we need to get out of here as fast as possible. We also made a promise to rescues Orihime from Aizen. To sum it all up the longer we stay here, the more likely we'll get kill, so what those that mean to you?" Rukia trying to reason with Ichigo.
Ichigo stood up and realized these was the only way. He nodded defeating, he called his bike over and got on it.
He took one more glace at everyone and said "Are you su…" Suddenly Yammy stood full height and roar to get everyone's attention.
Rukia yelled "GO!"
Ichigo was reluctant, but revved the bike up and headed the direction of the main palace. Where Orihime was likely kept.
Everyone else scatter to avoid Yammy's repeated assault.
Yammy suddenly slammed the palms of his hands on the ground and remained perfectly still. Then the cylinders on Yammy's back and elbows began to get longer, as if they were pulling themselves out of his back.
Harribel recognized what Yammy was about to do and yelled "RUN!" to everyone.
The cylinders began to absorb energy and slammed themselves down back to their original position as Yammy yelled "Terremoto (Spanish:Earthquake)!"
The land mass around Yammy began to shake and rip instantly. Everyone began to jump away from the fissure and ripples of sand created by the quake.
When the land settled, everything was in disarray.
Yammy uncoiled from his position and eyed the damage. He looked disappointed.
"Drat I can to better then that…" Yammy let out a loud yawn and groaned "…,but moves like that are very consuming. Maybe I'll stick to the basics." Yammy then started to smash the areas that his adversaries were at.
Everyone else had recovered from the shockwave Yammy had just had enough time to caught their breath and avoid the barrage of fist and feet.
Everyone had then fallen back to avoid the reckless rage Yammy had displayed.
Byakuya and Harribel had gain enough time to gather energy "Hadō 63
Raikōhō (Japanese:Thunder Roar Cannon)!" Byakuya yelled "Agriarse Torrente!" Harribel said as well.
The blast from both attack hit Yammy square on chest. Yammy stood his ground and took the blast. When things settled he laughed and said "Don't you get it? You can't hurt me! My skin is now the strongest Hierro of any Arrancar, you can't even dent it worth your life!"
Byakuya ignored his gloat and everyone jumped away in time to dodge his fist slam.
Byakuya nodded to Harribel, who nodded in understanding. She then turned to her Fracción and said "Ladies…" Apache, Mila and Sun-Sun turned to her "...prepare to fire."
Apache, Mila and Sun-Sun nodded. All of them started to power up their Ceros, while Harribel, Byakuya, Rukia, Chad, and Renji started to power up his bankai for their own moves.
Apache, Mila, and Sun-Sun yelled "CERO!"
Harribel then followed with "Gran Rey Cero!"
Byakuya then yelled "Hadō 63 Sōren Sōkatsui (Japanese:Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down)!"
With Rukia yelling "Hadō 33. Sōkatsui (Japanese:Blue Fire, Crash Down)!"
Chad punched his left arm forward as he said "El Directo"
Finally Renji yelled "Hikōtsu Taihō!"
Every single blast hit Yammy dead on, cause him to fall over and stir dust up.
Yammy stayed down for a few minutes, before he got up and looked at the shocked impression on everyone. "You know what?! That actually tickled!" Yammy burst out laughing.
Yammy then began to bend his back backwards and charged up his hands with Reiryoku (Japanese:Spiritual Power) and thrust them forward as he yelled "Huracán (Spanish:Hurricane)!" and slammed his hands together to produce a massive wind.
Everyone was easily blown away by the gigantic gust a good 15 miles or so.
Renji then spoke to Harribel "How to we fight a guy like that if all of our attacks don't even dent him."
Harribel then said "If we can create a wound on him, I can use my Resurrección: Segunda Etapa ability to drain him of his blood."
Everyone nodded in response to her plan, but Uryu inputted "But that still leaves the question on how do we cause a wound, if we are luck enough to scratch him?"
Harribel looked at everyone and said "If we can't cause a massive wound on the main body, we must focus our attention causing small wounds around the joints of the body, where the hierro is likely to be the thinnest. If we can create multiple of even small wounds, I'll force the blood to evacuate his body."
Yammy started to charge at an alarming rate, allowing everyone else to scatter out of the path of the rampaging monster.
Uryu had began to absorb power into his Ginrei Kōjaku and fired all the shots he could muster behind Yammy's right knee. Harribel's theory proved correct as the skin let a small bead of blood.
Yammy felt the blast from behind his leg and flexed his tail to strike Uryu. Only for Uryu to use the Hirenkyaku (Japanese:Flying Screen Step/God Step)to avoid the attack and began to hit the same point at a distance to avoid being attack.
Apache, Mila, and Sun-Sun, follow Harribel's order, and Uryu's example, decided to fire their cero's under Yammy's armpit, and produce a small wound like Uryu's. It wasn't much, but it was a start.
Chad had prepared his Brazo Izquierda del Diablo while he ran behind Yammy's right knee. When he came in range, he punched the knee and the energy from his La Muerte (Spanish:The Death; Japanese:The Strike of the Demon) and the blast caused the knee to bleed through a small slit because of the damage.
Byakuya stood his distance and then raise his sword as he chanted "Scatter, Senbonzakura." and the blade of the sword split and began to spin around Yammy's neck produce multiple scratches acts that the blades kept picking at to open a small wound.
Yammy began to wonder what everyone was up to. He thought he they were up to something, he better stop playing around and began to thrash around.
Everyone involved with trying to take Yammy down now found it more difficult to hit his weak points. His thrashing made getting a clear hit almost impossible.
Harribel herself was behind the lines, she released her Resurrección: Segunda Etapa charging up. She knew even with opening a few wound, it would be hard to drain him of his blood, but this made her job easier.
Yammy was having no luck crushing his opponent, because they were jumping around, even when he was thrashing around wildly, never ceasing.
Everyone else had been trying to strike their original targets, only to be meet with only luckily shot. They retreated back while Yammy was in a state of rage that he didn't even notice the departure.
Mila approached Harribel and asked "Is that enough Harribel-Sama?"
Harribel nodded and said to everyone "You've done well, now let me handle the restt." she moved ahead of everyone else and began to observe every bleeding wound on Yammy and then fixed her energy into those small wounds.
She began to flex her arms and body in to a synchronized dance and suddenly Yammy stopped moving and stood strait up. He tried to move, but the muscles in his body were obeying the blood flow.
Once Harribel had a firm grip on Yammy's blood, she began to push it out of his body through the tight wounds. The pressure of blood rushing out caused the wounds to open up an inch more.
Yammy, was not fairing to well. His strength was leaving him and began to feel light headed. He looked down and saw all of his blood dripping out of his body.
Yammy forced what remained of his strength to his neck and began to turn his head towards Harribel. He mumbled "P-Plea-se gi-give it bac-back…"Yammy begged
Harribel glaring at the helplessness said "Fine." She then flexed her arms and the blood flowed into Yammy's mouth, down his throat, chocking him.
Harribel then said "This is nothing personal, but people like you are better off, dead." Harribel then tighten her hand and Yammy's eyes widen for an unknown reason and fell flat on his back.
Harribel eased up and the blood flooded out Yammy's eye, ears, and mouth. Yammy, the Cero Espada, was no doubt dead.
Harribel resealed her Zanpakutō, retuning her to her normal form and fell flat on her back as well. Her Fracción were their beside her ready to tend to her injures. But Harribel had no wound, she was only exhausted and needed a rest.
Sun-Sun the said "You need use to do anything Harribel-Sama?" She and her comrades waited for a response.
"See to the other and yourself, I only need a quick rest." Harribel spoke before she closed her eyes.
They nodded and proceeded to do as they were told, not knowing what lied ahead of them, but neither the less, need all the help they could get.
With Ichigo
Ichigo rode across the desert plain with no other thought, but to recapture Orihime from his enemy.
His path toward the main palace building was more obverse and was approaching it faster then ever.
When he finally arrived at the main gate, he saw the same man who took Orihime in the first place, along with two other men he instantly recognized as Tōsen and Gin.
He halted his bike from advancing and got off facing them.
"Where is Orihime?!" Ichigo spoke in rage at the mere presence of the three men.
Gin took a step forward and said "She inside the palace with Aizen-Sama. If you want her your going to have to go through us first." Gin spoke mockingly, only to enrage Ichigo further and charged at the silver haired man. Only to get pushed back by The arrancar.
Ichigo then proceeded to slash the arrancar in half, only for the arrancar to effortless dodge. The Arrancar the stopped the blade with his left hand.
The Arrancar and Ichigo then jumped away from one another.
The Arrancar then said "Look you don't want to waste time fighting us, and I don't want to fight you, so why don't you just surrender and…" He was interrupted with the child kicking him in the shin.
"OW!" The Arrancar yelled and turned to the child. "What was that for Lilynette?!"
The child Lilynette then spoke "Stop being lazy and actually do as your told Starrk!" she mouthed off.
"Geeze I was just…" Starrk was interrupted by Ichigo's attempt to get pass them. Only for Starrk to draw his sword and speak to Ichigo, who intercepted the Zanpakutō with his own "Nice try, but your not getting passed us that easy."
Ichigo then pushed himself away from Starrk and prepared to stike, but stalled when he saw Stark put his Zanpakutō back in it case.
"What, not good enough for you to release your Zanpakutō, Stark?" Ichigo spoke to the Primera.
"No, I'm about to…" Starrk gave a glance at Lilynette and said "Don't worry." He then turned to Ichigo and spoke "The reason I put my sword away is because that isn't my Zanpakutō, she is, in a way." Starrk explained his action that confused Ichigo.
Starrk noticed this and spoke "When Hollows become Arrancars our power is split in to our body and swords, but when I became an Arrancar, my power split into my body and Lilynette. To see what I'm talking about, watch."
Starrk then put his hand on top of Lilynette and said "Kick About, Los Lobos (Spanish:The Wolfs Japanese:Wolf Pack)." and a shockwave blow Ichigo away.
When he got up he felt the wind in the air moving towards he Arrancar.
When the arrancar was in clear view, his form revealed him dress in a Jacket, with a furry collar that extended along the zipper down to his ankles. His face was covered with part of Lilynette's mask over his left eye. He held a gun in each hand that had bullet casings attach to each of them that entangle his arm and body.
The arrancar then turned toward Ichigo and said "My name is Starrk, the Primera Espada, The Air Bandit."
I'm so sorry for the delay.
I had a little writer's block and I was busy trying to adjust everything to the current story line.
In other words I've edited like crazy so please forgive me.
Bye
