Ichigo and Ulquiorra's duel just started and both of them were giving it all they've got because Ichigo wanted to save Orihime and defeat Aizen, while Ulquiorra wanted to finish him for good. Ichigo had Nelliel the Antelop Knight with 2000atk points and his Swordsman of the Black Blade at 1900. He was at 3400LP. Ulquiorra still had all of his life points and he just played a strange card known as the Void of Nothing.
"What does that do?" Ichigo said.
"You'll find out soon enough." Ulquiorra said. "I summon my Bat of Despair in attack mode." A bad with a depressed look came on the field and had 1300atk points. "Next, I use my bat's ability. If I lower his attack points by 200, I can summon a new monster." His bat's points dropped to 1100. "I summon my Imprisoned Draco." A black lizard with wings in its ribs came on the field and had 1200atk points.
"Two level four monsters that are dark attribute. This can only mean one thing." Ichigo said.
"That's right. I unite my level four, dark attribute Imprisoned Draco and Bat of Despair." Ulquiorra said. Both of his monsters became dark energy and came together. "I unite summon Murcielago." His monster was a white mouthless being that wore what looked like a dress with horns and black feathered wings with flowing black hair and it had 3000atk points.
"3000atk points?!" Ichigo said.
"That's right. All of them will be used to destroy you." Ulquiorra said. "I use Murcielago's ability. He can destroy one card on your field if I use one unite unit." One unit went into its hand and fired a green blast that destroyed Ichigo's swordsman. "Now the effects of my Void of Nothing activates when a card on either of our fields is destroyed. You can send your top card to your graveyard or lose 400LP. The choice is yours."
"Mine?" Ichigo said.
"Yes. You better choose carefully." Ulquiorra said.
'If I want to last against him, I need all the life points I can spare.' Ichigo thought and placed his hand upon his deck. "I'll send the top card of my deck to the grave."
"Don't forget that he can still attack." Ulquiorra said.
"That's something I don't get. Why didn't use that ability to destroy Nelliel. You would have done even more damage if you attacked my swordsman instead of her. You also know of her ability." Ichigo said. "You could have also destroyed both of my monsters with that ability if you wanted."
"Two reasons." Ulquiorra said. "One is that my Murcielago is unaffected by any of your monster's abilities. You won't be able to stop this attack. The second reason is because I want your defeat to be as slow as possible. You wallowed in despair the last time we dueled. This time, I will make sure that you won't be able to duel ever again as you fall into a deeper despair. Murcielago, attack with Dark Zero." His monster held out its finger and fired a powerful black and green blast.
"I might not be able to stop your attack, but Nelliel has another ability." Ichigo said. "If I use her unite unit, I can deal twice the amount of damage to you." Nelliel struck her lance at her last unit and fired a pink blast when she got destroyed. Ichigo's points dropped 2400, but Ulquiorra lost half of his life points and now had 2000. "At least I finally dealt some damage to you."
"Perhaps, but there's still the matter of my Void of Nothing. You must make the choice again." Ulquiorra said.
"Fine. I'll send another card to the graveyard." Ichigo said as he discarded again.
"I will end my turn." Ulquiorra said. He got shocked and his life points dropped to 1600.
"What just happened?" Orihime said.
"It's the side-effect my spell. To leave it on the field, I have to give up 400LP." Ulquiorra said.
"Sounds like all I have to do is hold out for four more of your turns and you'll be done for." Ichigo said.
"Do you really think you'll be around long enough for that to happen?" Ulquiorra said.
"My move." Ichigo said. 'I better do something, but what? That monster of his can destroy one card with that unite unit and I have a sneaky suspicion he's going to make sure he has one.' He thought. 'This should by me some time.'
"Are you going to make a move or not?" Ulquiorra said.
"I'll just summon my Underworld Guardian in defense mode." Ichigo said and his monster came up with 1300def points. "That will end my turn."
"Desperate." Ulquiorra said as he drew his card. "I could use Murcielago's ability, but I know of its ability. No matter. You can't leave your field like this the whole time. I activate my Eye of Witness. This allows me to look at the top five cards on your deck."
"Fine." Ichigo said. Ulquiorra saw his Soul Seizer, Reaper of Spirits, Kon's Ladies, Training Mannequin, and Soul Siege.
"Since I see three monsters, my spell will allow me to gain 400LP and I can draw three cards." Ulquiorra said and blue sparkles were emitted and his points went to 3200 and drew three more cards. "Now you have to send those five cards to the graveyard."
'Uh oh. I think I see what Ulquiorra is trying to do. I've been going at this the wrong way.' Ichigo thought. "You coward. You're trying to destroy my deck. Why don't you settle this like a real duelist and use force." He said.
"Oh please. It doesn't matter how you win as long as you do win." Ulquiorra said. "This is why Lord Aizen entrusted me with this card. You would have to choose between losing your deck or all of your life points. It's a slow and cruel way to ensure your destruction."
"We'll see about that." Ichigo said.
"I activate my Regenerate Resurrect." Ulquiorra said. This spell will give me another 100LP for each monster in my graveyard. That equals 300." His life points went up again to 3500.
"Trying to regain power? I'll just have to make sure you don't have any cards left to do that." Ichigo said. "What else do you got?"
"Since I can't destroy your monster, I'll place two face downs and end my turn." Ulquiorra said. He got shocked again and had 3100LP. 'The pain feels real, but I must bear with it.' He thought. Orihime seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with him.
'Something strange is going on. It's almost like Ulquiorra is in pain.' Orihime thought.
"My move! I'll just play a face down and end my turn." Ichigo said.
"Ichigo, please be careful. I know you can win, but Ulquiorra is carefully playing his next move." Orihime said.
"What makes you think he can?" Ulquiorra said.
"I know it in my heart." Orihime said.
"In your heart?" Ulquiorra said.
"That's right. I've always believe in Ichigo and in all my friends." Orihime said. "My heart knows that they always prevail and I know my heart is right."
"Ludicrous." Ulquiorra said. "My eyes of mine see everything and if they can't see it, it doesn't exist. Therefore, the heart does not exist."
"Do you ever stop talking?" Ichigo said. "The heart actually does exist. I've followed my heart all the time. It was my heart that led me here. The heart knows what's best and if you don't think it's real, you've got one heck of a problem."
"I've heard enough out of you." Ulquiorra said. "I think it's time I showed you what the true face of despair looks like. This card will drag you down to its darkest depths."
"If you're trying to psyche me out, it isn't going to work." Ichigo said.
"We'll see about that." Ulquiorra said. "First, I activate Forcing Terror. As long as this card remains on the field, I make all the decisions."
"You?" Ichigo said.
"That's right. Now, I will choose to destroy your life points or your deck." Ulquiorra said. "This isn't the worst part. The time is now. The time for you to face the embodiment of your end." Then, something strange happened. His monster was glowing a bright green light that was almost blinding.
"What's going on? What are you doing?" Ichigo said.
"Unitetion evolution."
