Recap: "Kill Ichigo Kurosaki, so he will be chained to Hell! If he wants to leave here he'll have no choice but to destroy the Gates!" Shuren ordered.
Ichigo charged at Shuren with his Zanpakuto ready to swing. Once in front of the Sinner, he swung, but Shuren blocked it with his fire.
Kokuto started fighting Gunjo and Taikon, and Brielle went for Garogai.
Ichigo thought it was strange that the three Sinners that were fighting his friends were here. He hoped that they were okay, but he then thought that his friends would have to have killed them for them to be here.
"So, mind telling me why all you Sinners are here? I didn't think it would be this short of a time for Rukia, Renji, and Uryu to kill you. Are you just that weak?" Ichigo looked toward Brielle since she was the one that voiced out his own thoughts, minus the mocking part. He pushed away from Shuren, and then used his Zanpakuto to point at his soul sister.
"She has a point. Why are all of you here?" He asked.
Shuren smirked. "It was all part of the plan. We wanted only you to be here, so we had to separate you from your friends. Sadly two of them are still here. Once you were separated, the Sinners were to die, and then come here," he explained.
Ichigo can tell that Brielle was just going to listen while cutting up her enemy with her Dark Crystal sword. Kokuto was the one to ask the next question. "But how did you get here so fast?!"
Shuren's smirk darkened. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He didn't answer the question at all; he just went back to fighting Ichigo.
"Okay, Mr. I'm too Evil to Give a Straight Answer. How about you answer to this!" Brielle shouted while using her whip to throw Garogai at Shuren. Before they collided, Ichigo followed up the motion with a Getsuga Tensho. The energy beam hit, and the two Sinners fell to the ground.
Ichigo laughed at what his soul sister did. She must be bored out of her mind to start being sarcastic and/or a smart mouth. He watched Shuren kick Garogai off of him, and once he got back onto his feet, he aimed a fire ball at Brielle, only for her to lean back with her hands touching the ground, letting the ball of fire fly past, and then kick up with her feet into a handstand, only to do a complete circle with her feet landing back onto the ground and standing back up, all while smiling like she didn't just do anything to anger the Sinner beyond belief.
Ichigo was trying really hard not to laugh, but that was becoming difficult when he can hear both his inner Hollow and demon laughing like there is no tomorrow. He was saved, because Brielle said, {We should just kill them. We're just wasting time here while Yuzu is getting farther away and into danger.}
{You're right. Let's finish this ASAP,} he replied.
Thanks to Ichigo not paying attention to his opponent from trying not to laugh and replying to Brielle, he didn't see Shuren come up from behind. The Sinner grabbed Ichigo and threw him toward the lava pit, hoping to kill him, but Kokuto came out of nowhere and saves him by pushing him away from it.
Once he stood back up, Gunjo started stabbing him in the shoulder and side, and pinning him into place with his tentacle arms. Kokuto sliced some of them, but it wasn't doing much to get him out of his situation.
"Aw, that was so sweet of you. Tell me: was it worth it?" Taikon asked mockingly.
Kokuto tosses his sword at the one that just mocked him, but Taikon just ate it. This turned into a mistake since he pulled on the chain that was attached to the sword with enough strength that Taikon was pulled into the lava pit. After that he jumped in, taking Gunjo with him.
"Kokuto!" Ichigo shouted. He was too shocked at what the Sinner that helped him did that he didn't hear nor see Garogai mention the two other Sinners' names, only to get kill by Brielle.

This is a very short chapter. -_- How many words are in it? :( 684 words, and that's not including the recap. Wow, I haven't written a chapter that short in a while. Even the side chapter was longer than this! DX
P.S. We have 4 chapters left. They'll be longer than this. How do I know this? It's because I wrote down all the summaries for this fanfic already.
Ichi: This is a short chapter. :(
Shiro: But it was funny! :D
Enj/Bri: Well, that's what happens when I don't want to do a fight scene and being bored. When I'm bored, Darkness is bored, and when she's bored, she makes people suffer.
Ichi: I noticed… :(
Enj/Bri: Please review! ^-^
