"I reject... Sicarius..."
There was no explosion of Reiatsu or anything, but the words struck deep into the core of Ichigo as he watched the pendant burst into a black shadow that darted around the Denego.
"My name is Realto Havenworth. And I shall be your end, Rukia Kuchiki. I can only hope you live up to the Kuchiki Clan standards."
Rukia gave no answer as she waved her hands around, the ice flowing around as they attempted to shred Realto. But she was caught off guard when they flew right through him. Shocked, she attempted to move before a hand gripped her shoulder, pulling her back as he whispered into her ear, sending a jolt of fear throughout her body.
"That was Existere... an Advanced form of Sonido..."
She watched him as her shards clearly pierced his fleshed, but saw movement on a distant sand dune, confirming that he was still alive.
'How the hell? It's like... he's leaving a clone behind...'
"I'm not leaving a clone behind... It is not that simple..."
He stabbed her from behind, unsurprised as he turned and blocked her pure-white ice blade. The shock clearly shown on her face made him smirk as he continued.
"...unlike yours, that is."
However, she smirked as well, leaving him to recoil, narrowing his eyes at her.
"What are you...?"
"Go no Mai, Yukionna."
The clone woman melted as he watched the puddle form around his feet, picking it slowly before it froze, sticking him to the ground. Glaring over his shoulder, he saw the woman standing away from him, facing her friends as she walked away. Seeing shadowy spots appear on the ground, he glanced up, noticing the pale blue clouds flying over him, until he realized they weren't clouds at all.
"What!?"
"Shichi no Mai, Ame no Hyouden..."
The rain of hail and snow descended, colliding into him and smashing him to ground. Rukia walked towards the rest of the group. As soon as she was about to reach them, a hand stretched out of the frozen snow, clasping her leg and pulling her towards the ground.
"You really didn't think that would stop me, now did you?"
Rukia struggled until she finally broke free, attempting to kick a body that wasn't there. However she noticed the arm of the man was still attached to her leg, which she promptly ripped away from her leg. Hearing the crackle of thunder, she and the group looked to the sky, where an orange and yellow streak of lightning dashed towards the ground.
"Shunko!"
"Captain Shihoin!"
"Light up the sky, Satsukiyami!"
The man was caught in a grand explosion, nearly throwing Las Noches away from its foundations. Yoruichi, hand on her hip, stood valiantly as the smoke and quaking finally cleared away. She tore away her short sleeve haori and passed it towards Rukia as she watched Realto finally stand to his feet. However, his attention seemed to be somewhere else.
"My Lady... why have you come?"
"I'm sorry if I'm stealing your fun... but I sensed the Soul Reapers. I would have assumed you needed help."
Ichigo, finally managing to move into a kneeling stance, was frozen as a familiar voice resonated behind him. Turning, both he and Uryu were the first to nearly trip over themselves.
"Ori-Orihime!? You're-!?"
The woman stared blankly at the two of them as the group recognized her.
"That... is not my name... I'm sorry to have mislead you, Ichigo Kurosaki."
Ichigo was about to dash to grab 'Orihime', but Uryu grabbed him before he could. No matter how close her appearance was to their former friend, the messier locks and the lack of hairpiece clearly revealed to him that this woman and the Orihime they knew were not the same. Her presence was one of...
DEATH.
'Definitely nothing like Orihime...'
"But she's-!"
"Does she even feel like Orihime to you, Ichigo? I feel... as if this woman could erase my existence with a single swing."
When the gentle breeze whispered by them, they knew that woman behind them was not Orihime. Before any of them could react, Nel and Halibel quickly grabbed Ichigo, dashing towards Las Noches.
"He-Hey! Put me down!"
As Ichigo struggled, Nel buried him further into the valley of her breasts as she attempted to protect him.
"No way, do you know who that woman is!?"
"No, but she looks like-"
"No... your friend looks like her. That is the Spirit Queen."
Ichigo, barely managing to peek out from Nel's melons, stared in interest at Halibel.
"Don't you answer to her!?"
"No. We answer to the Spirit King, though we share the same goals with the woman."
"Which is...?"
"Keeping the Old One locked away."
Mentally frowning, realizing what he would have to do sooner or later. However he attentively shot away from his flesh pillows when he realize what she said.
"Wait, you mean that's the woman Juhabach wants!? I thought she was locked away! He said he needed keys to free her!"
However, his question went unanswered as Nel and Halibel stood silent as they opened the door to the entrance of Las Noches. As the door closed, they saw a flash of orange and a twisted grin outside of it as it closed in her face.
"You can't run from me forever... Ichigo Kurosaki..."
As the door closed, Ichigo oddly felt like he was in the middle of a horror film... or worse, like he was being watched by Aizen as he watched the last of her disappear behind the door, the room becoming silent as they waited for her to take the door down. Halibel finally answered Ichigo's question from a while back.
"That's what I want to know. And I want to know who freed her."
"Oi, the name's Nicholas... I'm about to fuck you up, pretty boy."
Rose scoffed as he faced the burly man, unwavering as he drew his axe. Next to him, Kensei readied his knife, preparing to activate his Bankai if necessary.
"Rose... This enemy... doesn't feel right at all. I know what your Bankai consists of. Don't hesitate to use it if necessary. I'd rather die than lose to this guy."
Rose turned to look Kensei directly in the eyes, unsure about his request.
"You sure? I don't want to-"
"No. Use it if necessary, Rose."
"Alright. I-"
"Hush up all that fuss!"
Rose was interrupted as Nicholas slammed his axe between him and Kensei. Surprised, the shockwave from the blow blasted him and Kensei nearly a mile away. Kensei twirled his knife, clasping the handle with both of his hands.
"Bankai! Tekken Tachikaze!"
The smoke and dust cleared, revealing Kensei with purple armbands and twin trench knives who dashed forward, right hand raised in the air for a punch.
"Bakudantsuki!"
Gathering red energy into his fist, he brought it down with force upon Nicholas's axe, causing the man to recoil backwards as he attempted to defend himself. Slowly and slowly, his axe began cracking and breaking apart before he jumped back, unwilling to defend from it any longer. Kensei gave him no break, dashing for an explosive uppercut. Nicholas raised his hands before shouting out.
"I reject! Mor-"
However, he froze when he heard a melodious tune in his head, rendering him shocked. Looking around for the sound, he noticed the blonde Soul Reaper playing his... katana? Rose strummed his fingers on his unsealed Zanpakuto, causing the music to whisper through the air.
"...Do you hear my melodies, Hollow? I can see by your reactions that I'm right... Good. That completes my prelude... time to move into the finale..."
"What!?"
"Ban...kai..."
"Stay out of my way. I don't need you getting caught in my path."
Toshiro scoffed as Sui Feng dashed towards Emma, who quickly drew her rifle, clashing her Bayonet against Suzumebachi. Sui Feng ducked under the bullet that was shot from the rifle, attempting a sweep kick. Emma jumped, gun preparing to aim before the tip was frozen, blowing ice shards out instead of a bullet. Sui Feng cursed as the ice shredded her arm, turning to yell at Toshiro, who dove in for a slash while Emma was surprised. Clashing again with Toshiro, she was suddenly stabbed in the chest by Suzumebachi.
"Sorry... but you're just not fast enough!"
Toshiro quickly realized something was wrong when Emma faded away into nothing and turned to see her standing, hand outstretched with a chain and pendant shaped like an eye.
"I reject, Oculus."
The eye burst into a dozen tiny gold orbs, surrounding Emma as she sat still. Toshiro and Sui Feng sat, waiting for something to happen.
"What... was that?"
"My Eximo. The release of my powers. I see you are confused... you are most comfortable with Resurreccions, where we Hollows turn into monsters... Denego are more human than anything. Our Eximo is not an explosion of power, because our raw strength exceeds any power an Espada could have. So it is not a release of our true forms, or a transformation. It is simply the power of rejection."
"The Ryoka woman told us as such, but I don't understand this... rejection."
"Eximo rejects Human, Hollow, or Soul possibility. It makes the impossible to others... quite possible for us. An example... my release is named as such because it allows me the eyes of the world."
"Eyes of the world?"
"I can see anything, anywhere, at any possible time. At least, as long as I'm on this world. The entirety of Hueco Mundo is under my gaze, so your sneak attack, Miss Soul Reaper..."
The Sui Feng next to Toshiro faded as the real Sui Feng stood shocked as she faced the barrel of the rifle to her eye.
"...won't work when I can see all around me..."
"Sui Feng!"
A loud bang rung across the empty desert of Las Noches.
"Bankai..."
As Rose strummed on his unsealed Zanpakuto, a golden flower appeared from the ground, surrounding him, Kensei, and Nicholas. Pollen and dust whirled around the golden tomb, creating the sound of wind chimes through the area.
"Play, Kinshara... Sokyoku Dai Juusanban..."
"What the hell is this!?"
"...Benzaiten."
And then it all cleared away. Nicholas gazed around in confusion, anxious to see what would happen next. Kensei jumped back and landed next to Rose, who held his Katana, glowing with golden energy, in front of him.
"Now, hopefully, you're better at this than you were during the Captain Exam. The last time, you sucked at this and I had to get a haircut."
"Shut up, Kensei...! My beautiful art is gonna rock the stage, so stand back."
"Fuck this shit! I reject, Morsus!"
His hidden earrings burst, leaving studs behind as the energy from the rings covered his body. His unseen tongue ring and belly ring did the same.
"Rose! Hit 'em now!"
Angrily strumming his Zanpakuto, the pollen whipped threw the air, exploding as they scattered around Nicholas. Kensei moved closer to Rose to keep safe as he watched the explosions commence. The dust cleared, revealing Nicholas's broken body, hunched over as he laughed.
"Hahaha! That didn't hurt at all! Is this all your Bankai can do, Captain!?"
"Shit. Rose, I'm goin' in. Cover me!"
Kensei dashed in as whips of golden light stretched past him, attaching on to Nicholas. Tuning his handle like a guitar, Rose created more pollen that scattered towards Nicholas.
"That explosive pollen won't work!"
However, when no explosion commenced, he was rendered speechless as the world began darkening and closing on him. Forcing his eyes open, he was confused when he saw two versions of the white haired captain dashing at him. More of the music rung through his ear, angering him.
"Quit with that crappy ass music! It's pissin' me off!"
"Monosugoi Arashi!"
Kensei punched Nicholas, slamming a tempest of wind and energy into his chest, blasting an entire hole into the side of Rose's Bankai.
"What the hell, Kensei!? Now my precious Kinshara looks ugly!"
"Stop bitching, Rose! We don't have the time, he's getting back up!"
True to Kensei's word, Nicholas, whose clothes were tattered to Adam and Eve proportions, raged as he ran back into the flower, axe held high as he laughed.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Motherfucker... This guy's worse than Kenpachi!"
"My Eximo... it rejects all form of pain! I am immortal! Bwwaaaahhhhaahahhahaa!"
Rose sweat-dropped as Kensei readied himself.
"Pretty sure I read this in Shounen Jump before..."
"There's no time for your Manga references!"
"My apologies, Captain Feng. I tried to freeze the bullet before it got you."
"Don't worry about it... it's too late now..."
Sui Feng held her hand over her left eye, which was blown out. Toshiro hovered next to her, Daiguren Hyorinmaru released as he stared at Emma.
"How are we gonna hit her if she's that fast? If she can see everything?"
"Those orbs..."
Toshiro looked up towards the golden orbs, which seemed to blink as they twirled and twisted in the air.
"They're like... satellites... they record the images and send them to her. I saw one look at me when I tried to ambush her."
"So we either move around them... or we destroy them."
"Both of those would be your best options... but I can see both you before you attempt that. I'll kill you before you get a chance."
Both of the Captains mentally prepared themselves as Emma spoke to them, reloading her rifle all the while. Popping the last shell in, she snapped her stock back on the barrel and aimed at them.
"I hope you two have something special in store for me. I want someone to entertain me before I go after Kurosaki."
Glancing at Grimmjow, who was joined by two other male Espada, battle against another Denego, Yoruichi turned her attention back to Realto.
"So... I understand a bit of this Existere. You reject your Reiatsu away from you, leaving behind your physical body, which is covered by Reishi. That remaining Reishi then uses Sonido to catch back up with your Reiatsu. The spark of Reiatsu is where you're going to move to and the Reishi protects the body until it catches up. It's basically a Gemelos Sonido and Blut Vene into one movement. And your Eximo, Sicarius, allows you completely reject your bodies existence. "
"..."
"Hollows using Quincy abilities, eh? That's intriguing. But you're not fast enough to keep up with, sweetheart."
Realto's eyes widened when she flashed and kicked him in the head, following up with a slash. Realto attempted to block, but failed as the lightning struck his chest too quickly for him to react. He crashed into a pillar. Yoruichi attempted to follow-up, but was held back by a hand on her shoulder.
"Who the fuck is-!?"
She paused when she saw the wicked grin of Juhabach over her shoulder.
