Ch. 7 The Battle for Hollywood
One day after the arrival of Captains Kuchiki, Kyoraku, and Ukitake...
All of Seiretei was empty. Hollywood, a large city in the World of the Living, had been filled with EVERY available Soul Reaper that could be found and assigned. All Captains, Liutenants, and Seated Officers were present and ready for battle. They wouldn't have to wait long.
That day, Hundreds upon hundreds of Garganta's opened up across the city, and Hollows and Arrancars of all shapes and sizes had emerged from them. The battle had begun. The chipmunks had been placed inside a special room the Soul Society had built under their home, that could be assembled and dissasembled in less than 10 minutes. 2 Seated Officers had been assigned to guard the door, while all of the others began the assault.
Takeshi wanted to find and kill Antonio Pevedra, he was certain that he was the one behind this attack. Plus, he had a little score to settle with him. Antonio had killed his fiance, a Soul Reaper like himself whom he had fallen in love with at the Soul Reaper Academy. Since her death, he had only one thought on his mind, to find and kill that Arrancar.
Takeshi slaughtered Hollow after Hollow, Arrancar after Arrancar, until he found who he was looking for. He attacked, calling out his loves name as he charged...
Satoshi parried an attack from the Arrancar he was fighting. This wasn't going to be difficult, "TSUNAMI BAKUHATSU!" he shouted, swinging his blade at his enemy. The attack anniahlated his opponent. Turning to find another, he saw a Garganta open. Emerging from it was the one Arrancar he never expected to see...
"It's, it can't be!" he shouted, "Arturo! Arturo Plateado!"
"So, some Soul Reapers decided it would be ok to attempt to stop me." Arturo sneered, "I guess I'll have to kill all who oppose me, and find the soul I seek for my ritual."
"You'll have to get past me first!" Satoshi shouted, pointing his Zanpaku-to at Arturo, "I'm the Captain of Squad 9, Satoshi Yamashita, and I'm the man who's gonna kill you!"
"We've gotta help!" Alvin Seville shouted at the others in the safe room.
"Alvin we're not going through this again!" Dave said, "It's too dangerous out there!"
"Dave they are out there fighting and dying for US!" Alvin shouted, "The least we can do is help them!"
"Alvin you aren't going anywhere!" Brittany shouted at him, "We have a daughter to take care of, and she's already frightened enough as it is!" Melody sat in her arms, crying.
Alvin ignored her as he went to the door and walked out, ignoring the cries of his family.
Takeshi's Bankai proved to be useless against the Arrancar he now fought. Antonio was too strong with his Ressurcion, he would have to use his brain to win ths fight. He pushed for the advantage by using all his skill to launch a simple kido spell, then regained some ground as the two fought in midair.
Alvin started searching for Satoshi and Takeshi, looking around, he spotted them in the sky. He heard the door to the house open behind him as Brittany came outside, Melody still in her arms. "Alvin, please come back inside," she asked him gently.
"No Britt, I love you and our daughter, and I'm gonna fight to protect you both."
He charged as a large Hollow grabbed Brittany and Melody in it's hand. It quickly separated Brittany from her daughter, and as the baby screamed, the Hollow dropped Britt to the ground as it began to move towards it's master, Arturo.
Takeshi sensed the Hollow and managed to cut it, leaving Antonio, he dropped to the ground and cut the Hollow's hand off, as Mel dropped to the ground he used his Flash Step to catch her. Turning at the right moment, he then stabbed up as Antonio tried to attack him from behind. He landed on the ground, Antonio sititng there with the blade in his chest. He opened his mouth and something red appeared, a Cero! Takeshi knew he couldn't avoid it, and before it was fired, Brittany jumped up and knocked Mel out of his hand, landing in it. Alvin caught his daughter and jumped as Antonio fired his last attack on Takeshi, and Brittany.
Brittany Miller and Takeshi Yamashita died saving that little girl.
Satoshi saw the explosion take place from afar and felt both traces of Spiritual Pressure vanish. "NO!" he shouted, driving off Arturo and praying it wasn't true. He knew it was, they were gone, and it was all because of Arturo.
"YOU BASTARD!" he shouted at Arturo, "You may be the only Arrancar to never be slain by a Soul Reaper, but that ends today!" he shouted at Arturo, holding up his sword, which had a small blue ring around the crossguard. "It's about time I finished this battle, for the sake of Justice, I WILL defeat you!"
Arturo smiled.
"BAN-KAI!" Satoshi shouted.
