"This is annoying!"
Ichigo paced around the hall of Las Noches as he waited for the Spirit Queen to open the door. Halibel sighed at Ichigo's impatience while Nel was sitting on a high pillar, just as anxious as Ichigo. The woman's voiced pierced through the door.
"I only want to talk, Ichigo Kurosaki."
"I'm not talking to you! The only thing you'll hear is the sound of my blade! Come in here and fight if you're not afraid!"
Ichigo fell onto his behind when the unamused face of 'Orihime' appeared in front of him. Ichigo rolled away, attempting an uppercut slash. However, right before his eyes, his blade disintegrated, leaving no trace of a blade. A golden throne appeared behind her as she sat in it, crossing her legs and setting her cheek on her fist.
"Now... we may converse. I do not mind if your friends stay. Interrupt, and your existence... will be erased."
Ichigo stopped when he felt that man's Reiatsu.
"We don't have time! Juhabach is here now! Who knows how many people will die if he is left free! Give me back my sword!"
"Talk to me first... we'll discuss Juhabach later."
"Juhabach!?"
"Where... is Kagura?"
Yoruichi flashed away from Juhabach, sword prepared in her hand.
"Where is Lady Kagura? I can sense her."
'Is he talking about the Spirit Queen?'
"You'll have to go through me to get to the Spirit Queen..."
Juhabach frown as he gazed towards the sky, an angry, agitated look placed on his face.
"Is she conversing with Ichigo Kurosaki? That is whom you are really defending. Step aside, and I shall spare you."
"We won't, you son of a bitch! Grrrraaaaaggggghhhhhh!"
Yoruichi turned as a flying blur dashed beside her, easily swatted away by Juhabach and landing next to her. She noticed a blue and white panther attempt to stand up, legs wobbling as blood covered his crown and face.
"Grrrrr... You motherfucker!"
"Wait, you're gonna get yourself killed! You, get away from him! You'll all di-"
"Renovate! Araña Castillo!"
Yoruichi covered her eyes as the dust exploded, revealing a bony spider with cannons and turrets attached to its fangs and knees as Asguiaro's top half sat in the middle point.
"What the hell are you idiots doing!? You can't beat him like this!
A giant bird-man next to her cawed as he dashed by her, whipping her hair around her face.
"Then help us, woman! Don't just stand there!"
Luders dashed towards Juhabach, sword raised as Asguiaro hopped next to her, aiming his knees at Juhabach.
"Cañón de Artillería!"
Cannon balls made of Reiryoku blasted towards Juhabach, who dodge Luders and Grimmjow and blocked the cannon blasts.
"Their right, Yoruichi. We need all the help we can get if were to stop the Denego and the Vandenreich."
"Kisuke!"
She turned to the Senkaimon opening behind her, revealing Kisuke, Jushiro, Shunsui, and Shinji step out. Juhabach snarled as he watched the people being summoned, but was shocked when a hand grabbed his shoulder, causing him to turn around to whoever dared to touch him. He was surprised at seeing the grinning face of Kenpachi Zaraki, whose eye-patch was already released.
"Yo! Long time, no see, eh?"
"Why do you want to talk with me? Leave me alone! You were never a part of my plans!"
"But you are a part of mine... Ichigo Kurosaki... I've been-"
"Of course you've watched me! So has everyone else in the fucking universe!"
Kagura closed her eyes, shaking her head at Ichigo's blatant disrespect. Clicking her tongue in disapproval, she used her overwhelming presence to force Ichigo into the ground.
"Please respect me, Ichigo. I have done the same for you."
"You... you're trying to stop me! I have to move past you, like every other obstacle!"
Kagura stood up and slowly sauntered over to Ichigo, leaning down to caress his cheek.
"You're so rude and inconsiderate, Ichigo. Referring to me as an obstacle? After all I have done for you?"
"Done for me!? What the hell have you done for me!?"
"After I have used my powers to heal you... so many times?"
"You... that was Orihime! You did nothing! You are not the same person as Orihime!"
She gripped his jaw, producing a fish effect with it as she made the very same kissing effect with her lips towards him, falsely pouting like Orihime, which looked out-of-place on her wicked face.
"But those were... MY... powers, Ichigo... That accursed orb, named after my dear former husband, gave those to her because it thought she was the original. My husband's legacy... giving a look-a-like my powers... because he desired it so. So you should thank my husband, technically, for being so devoted to me that he thought to clone me through Orihime Inoue..."
"She's no clone! She was a real human being! Don't dishonor her in front of me!"
Kagura, shocked, jumped away when a blue energy blade swiped the bottom side of her chin.
"What... what is this?"
"I remembered how the Quincy formed their spirit weapons... so I attempted to copy them... By forming a Cero and condensing it into a smaller, constant form, I can create a blade of Reiatsu."
Nel and Halibel was shocked as they noticed his new ability.
'To create such an ability in such a short time... he's truly stepped into his Arrancar shoes...'
"I call it 'Cero Corte'. Got a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
The creepy, excited grin formed even while her chin was dripping blood unnerved Ichigo, as he imagined painful things happening to him for defying her. Suddenly, she dropped her head back and began laughing like a cliché comic book villain.
"Hahahahaha! You are an interesting man, Kurosaki! I can see why such a woman was interested in you!"
Ichigo stared back at her as she began cackling like a mad hag.
"Ooookaayyy... I guess I'll just kill you before the men in the white coats appear..."
"We're wearing white coats Ichigo..."
"Human joke, nevermind that, Nel."
"I don't get it."
"Shut up, Nel!" Nel pouted and turned away.
Ichigo dashed at the slowly calming woman, who dodged and grabbed the back of his neck, kissing his forehead as she dodged the red beam from the side of her. Ichigo reared his head around, glancing at someone he didn't expect to see so soon.
"Urahara!"
"I should reprimand you about your dating choices, but now would not be a good time."
"Kisuke... Urahara..."
Kisuke and Ichigo narrowed their eyes at the lazy smirk upon the woman's face.
"Two men at the same time? Now I feel like quite the naughty wife..."
"Move, Kisuke! The Spirit Queen's after Ichigo, you gotta stop her!"
Kisuke, eyes widened, stared back at the castle as he looked between both Yoruichi and the distant building.
"I can't leave you here with Juhabach. Ichigo will live... the world is after him, anyway... They'll need him alive."
"No, damnit! Go after Ichigo! Put whatever bullshit feelings between you two behind you and go save him! I can take care of myself!"
"You sure, Yoruichi?"
"Of course, now get going while Kenpachi's occupying him!"
Nodding, Kisuke disappeared, leaving Yoruichi and Kenpachi to face Juhabach while the remaining captains dashed off to battle the other Vandenreich and Denego. Yoruichi turned her eyes upon Juhabach, who ducked under another slash. Looking down at her Zanpakuto, she closed her eyes before raising it to the sky.
"Bankai."
And the heavens roared and crashed upon her call.
Toshiro and Sui Feng laid on the ground, bleeding and weakened as Emma stood over them, very few cuts on her body.
"...Tch, I wonder how Her Highness is doing?"
Emma turned at the sound of a cough behind her. She saw a sickly, pale man with long hair and non-matching eyebrows. He wielded two swords connected by a rope, pointed directly at her as finished his coughing fit.
"Ummm... Not trying to be rude or anything, but can you please try to not die before we fight, Soul Reaper? I'm still bored, and I want at least one challenge before I call it quits."
As soon as she said that, the man began coughing again, causing her to face-palmed herself as she sighed. When Jushiro finally stopped, he glared at her as he readied himself.
"Alright... I'm done now. Let's begin."
"You guys havin' fun down there?"
On top of the golden flower, Shinji stared down at Rose and Kensei with his usual bored expression. Kensei yelled back up to Shinji as he dodged another axe attack.
"Not really... You could help make it easier! This guy's immortal! We need somethin' of the mental persuasion, Shinji!"
"Oh... if that's the case..."
Shinji sat cross-legged as he pulled a candy bar from his robes and watched the ensuing battle.
"Oh, you son of a bitch!"
Shinji took his first bite as he continued watching.
"Be still!"
Aizen dashed around as he watched the old man shoot at him repeatedly with his pistols.
"I'd rather not. This is quite fun."
"Then if you're not takin' this seriously, then let me have the fun."
Aizen gazed over his should at Shunsui, who already released Katen Kyokotsu and was ready to do battle.
"Feel free to take over, Captain Kyoraku."
"Don't mind if I do."
Kenpachi himself was paralyzed as the waves of light flashed around Yoruichi, with one lightning bolt connecting to her hand, which held a small black stiletto.
"Shunshin Satsukiyami..."
"Woman, are you gonna take the fun outta this battle!? Don't be so hasty!"
Yoruichi ignored Kenpachi as she dashed past him towards Juhabach. Disappointment written on his face, his frown was turned upside down as he saw a stumbling figure attempt to get away from the battle.
"Hey! Where ya goin'!?"
The figure began skipping away faster. Behind Kenpachi's head, a joyful Yachiru, happy that her 'Kenny' was back to normal, appeared and pointed towards the fleeing man.
"Forget the Nazi! Go after him, Kenny!"
"I don't wanna get caught in that lightning! You ain't gotta tell me twice!"
Kenpachi rushed to catch up with Realto, who was heading towards Las Noches.
"Come back...! I just wanna chop off a leg!"
"Quite angry... You sure you can defeat me by yourself? It took more than that to fight me last time."
"Cut the bluff... you can't use Zanka no Tachi for months. Without that, you're just an hyped-up Quincy."
Frowning, Juhabach pulled his arms into an a stance, summoning an arrow between his hands.
"Massen Vernichtung Smittel!"
The arrow formed a more rounded shape, flying out of his hands like a rocket. Yoruichi managed to dodged barely as the weapon exploded next to her. While she dodged the basis explosion, the shockwave pushed her away from the epicenter.
"I'll show you, Yoruichi Shihoin... why I am the 'A'... why I am hailed as 'the Almighty'..."
Yoruichi dashed in, stiletto clashing with Juhabach's broadsword in the middle of his speech.
"I don't want to hear it, old man! Rupture, Shunshin Satsukiyami!"
Juhabach used his Hirenkyaku to dash between the multiple lightning strikes. The last bolt was blocked with his hand before he lobbed it at Yoruichi. Before it could hit her, the lightning switched paths towards her stiletto.
"So... it works like a lightning rod?"
"Of course. My Shunshin Satsukiyami is a conducting rod, catching lightning from the heavens and redirecting it with my Reiryoku. Not even Lieutenant Sasakibe's Bankai can match the versatility of mine."
Yoruichi held her hand up, energy and lightning forming at the end of her fist.
"Storm the heavens! Shunshin Satsukiyami!"
Enhanced with her Shunko, the beam was easily twice as large as the explosion of Massen Vernichtung Smittel. Juhabach's eyes widened as the blast struck him as he attempted to escape, knocking him into a tower and blowing most of his body apart.
"GGGGAAAAGGGHHHH! DAMN YOU!"
Yoruichi watched as the explosion rumbled across Las Noches, turning everyone's heads towards the eye of the storm. Out of the rubble, Juhabach, hopping on his last leg, held his bloody right stump as it attempted to regenerate.
"What!? Why won't it-!?"
"I heard Soryu say you were most likely a Denego. I was able to slip a poison onto Satsukiyami before I attacked. If you do, the poison will integrate itself into your system and kill you off anyway."
"You... you... won't stop me from getting my prize! I will be the victor, not Kurosaki!"
"Tch, what are you-?"
The entire are went quiet as the temperature in the air dropped to freezing point. Growling, Juhabach held himself together as the feathers descended from the sky, surrounding him.
"Quincy: Volstandig..."
The area exploded as Juhabach's feathers swirled around him, obscuring Yoruichi's view of him.
"Mutteriel..."
Before he could attack, Yoruichi held her blade to the sky, form a thin streak of lightning that separated and spread the clouds.
"Not on my watch...! Rend the skies asunder!"
The lightning struck down, flowing all around her as she swept her blade into the barrage of feathers.
"Shunshin Satsukiyami!"
Kisuke and Ichigo tried many times to cut Kagura, but failed before they could land a blow upon her. In the middle of their chase, the room shook and rumbled as everyone fell to the floor. Kisuke rubbed his head sheepishly as he stared into the ceiling.
"Yoruichi? She's going all out, huh!?"
"I've... never seen Yoruichi like this..."
Ichigo was left in awe at the destruction Yoruichi was creating. He felt as if her powers alone would rip Hueco Mundo apart.
"She's really scary, huh, boys? Too bad I was rooting for her."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
Kagura smiled a distant far off smile as she seemed to remember something.
"He''s like... a clingy ex-boyfriend... a stalker, if you will... Nothing will stop him from coming towards me... He's the type... who would break his composed state and go into a fit of rage if his trophy is out of his reach. He would simply... remove the obstacle."
As she said that, the Reiatsu drowning Las Noches began to fade, rendering Kisuke into pools of sweat as his eyes widened. He was left speechless as he tried to convert the situation into a dream.
"Yoru... Yoruichi...?"
And then... it completely disappered. And at the same time, across the sands of Las Noches, two souls screamed into the heavens.
"YYYYYOOOOORRRRUUUUIIIICCHHHI III!"
Yoruichi gazed blankly ahead, seeing nothing... just waves and waves of sand... and one building...
Is this... it? Is this... blank place... where everything... ends...?
The answer was given to her as she coughed up blood, the feeling of the hole where her heart was blasted away becoming numb to her. She dropped her newly resealed Zanpakuto, which began to disintegrate, as she fell to her knees. Her last vision was of the flowing black coat of Juhabach as he floated towards the palace of Las Noches before she collapsed to the ground, hair pooling around her face as blood poured out of her fatal wound.
I'm sorry...
Kisuke...
Sui Feng...
...Ichigo...
...But lightning... can only strike once...
