"I believe that's three of your general's now defeated am I correct?" said Arpia addressing Siglo who became further angered.

"I'd watch it Arpia, Siglo's entering dangerous anger territory" warned Ochocientos.

oOo

"Very nice work there Lieutenant Kira" said Rukia coming down to greet her Lieutenant.

"Thank you Captain Kuchiki" said Izuru bowing.

"The war has just begun and already we're receiving no end of trouble I can only imagine the level of dangerous opponents Kenrichi, Shunsui and Ikkaku are facing not to mention the fact that neither one of the espada have made a move yet" said Rukia standing over Fenix's dead body.

"I'm sure they can survive" said Izuru.

"Kenrichi and Shuhei I see as having no problem but Ikkaku worries me the most especially from what I hear happened last time" said Rukia.

"But he's released his bankai this time so he couldn't possibly lose again; could he?" asked Izuru.

"A soul reaper's power is never measured by whether he has mastered his sword Izuru it's more how he behaves when using that power and even though Ikkaku's corrected his mistake by openly revealing that power rather than keeping it hidden there is still room for him to fail especially since he shares a common disposition and mind set with his deranged captain" explained Rukia.

"I see your point" said Izuru.

"Come on, Head Captain Yamamoto wanted us to report in when we defeated our individual opponents" said Rukia leaving.

"Right" said Izuru following.

"Your power is in fact very real captain but it's still not good enough" said Tambien distancing himself from Kenrichi and fired a pitch-black cero from his palm.

"Too slow" said Kenrichi easily dodging the blast using flash step.

"Is that so" said Tambien appearing behind Kenrichi.

"What!" said Kenrichi jumping back away from the arrancar.

"Do you get it now my speed and strength are all equal to your own!" shouted Tambien charging.

"Bakudō #61 Rikujōkōrō" said Kenrichi binding the arrancar with six interconnecting rods of Kidō.

"So your finally taking this seriously unfortunately you'll have to do better than that!" yelled Tambien breaking free while Kenrichi disappeared using flash step.

"Is this better! Hadō #63 Raikōhō!" said Kenrichi from a distance generating a yellow orb into his hand then fired it at Tambien as a massive concentrated strike of energy.
"It's not going to be that easy!" yelled Tambien once again firing his cero causing the battle of the blasts to end in an explosive stalemate.

*FWOOM*

"What will happen now?" thought Tambien as the smoke from the explosion blocked both combatants' fields of vision.

Hadō #4 Byakurai" rang out Kenrichi's voice as a thin, concentrated lightning bolt pierced through the smoke veil and cut through Tambien's shoulder.

"Ugh" grunted Tambien backing away holding onto the hole in his shoulder.

"Oh so it looks like my luck held true and I managed to get your shoulder" said Kenrichi walking through the smoke as it cleared.

"Damn you" growled Tambien.

"Since you've managed to survive this long I do believe you've earned the honor to see my shikai" said Kenrichi raising his sword.

"Oh joy" snarled Tambien.

"Crackle and Strike Ikazuchinaito" said Kenrichi as his entire body became outlined with electricity while his zanpakuto changed shape and took the form of a yellow blade with a spiky hilt of the same color and blue spikes protruding from the grip handle.

"I must say I'm impressed" said Tambien witnessing the display.

"Then lets go" said Kenrichi charging at Tambien.

oOo

"The Captain's getting serious I see" thought Shuhei.

"Don't take your eyes off me!" yelled El Ray kicking Shuhei into a building.

"So this is your bankai" said Trasgo smiling noticing Ikkaku wielding three over sized bladed weapons connected by an equally large chain.

"Ya this is it but do me a favor big guy and don't tell anyone you saw me using it!" yelled Ikkaku charging.

"So be it" said Trasgo drawing his sword.

oOo

"Come on show me what this sword of yours can do" said Tambien pushing Kenrichi away with a single slash of his sword.

"Furea-Raikou!" yelled Kenrichi releasing a burst of blinding lightning energy.

"Damn" thought Tambien shielding his eyes.

"Raiden Kyoubou!" shouted Kenrichi unleashing a frenzy of lightning bolts from the sky by swinging his sword back and forth.

"These blasts are moving too fast I'm not sure how much longer I can keep dodging" said Tambien barely dodging each continuous strike of lightning.

"The thing about lightning arrancar is it never strikes the same place twice!" shouted Kenrichi thrusting his sword downward causing an enormous lightning bolt to strike from the sky.

"DAMN YOU!" yelled Tambien suffering the full force of the assaulting lightning.

oOo

"That was the Captain Kenrichi's thunder lightning frenzy, I'm surprised he resorted to it so quickly" said Shunsui lying in a pile of rubble.

"Hey fool up here!" yelled El Ray assaulting Shuhei with a barrage of balas.

"I'm done fooling around with you" said Shnsui from behind El Ray.

"It's about time you got serious" smiled El Ray.

oOo

"I'm surprised you're still alive" said Kenrichi addressing a very charred Tambien.

"I am one of Commander Siglo's general's so don't even think about underestimating me now Howl at the Moon, Desierto Lobo" said Tambien in a weak tone releasing his zanpakuto causing his whole body to become enveloped in a shroud of sand.

"What's this now?" thought Kenrichi seeing Tambien emerge from the sand sporting a coyote appearance.

"Allow me to introduce you to my true form Desierto Lobo now allow me to show you it's strength!" said Tambien slicing the air, sending a wave of sand at Kenrichi.

"Erekutorikku-Kyojin!" said Kenrichi manifesting two electrified fists from his zanpakuto, punching the sand wave and suddenly producing a glistening light.

"heh farewell captain" said Tambien slashing the air once more revealing the glistening light to be shards of glass sent flying at Kenrichi.

"Ughguyaaa" shouted Kenrichi in a blood-curdling scream as his body and clothes became shredded by the assaulting shards.

"Honestly your pretty dumb for a captain if you didn't know what would happen if you mixed electricity with sand" said Tambien sending wave after wave of sand at Kenrichi.

"I did know what would happen arrancar the only reason I fell into such an obvious trap was because I just needed to clarify if you had control over the glass as well as the sand" said Kenrichi dodging the continuous sand attacks.

"Well now that you know what do you intend to do about it I've put you in a position where I've turned your zanpakuto's techniques to my advantage and it will stay that way as long as we control these two elemental forces!" shouted Tambien continuing his assault with Kenrichi dodging every wave.

"He may be able to control his sand and the glass we create but there's only fatal flaw with such a technique I just hope it works" thought Kenrichi backing away.

"Don't tell me your running away" said Tambien snickering.

"Hardly just strategizing and I know exactly what to do in order to defeat you" said Kenrichi.

"Then show me this strategy!" yelled Tambien sending out more waves off sand.

"Erekutorikku-Kyojin!" said Kenrichi manifesting the two electrified fists from his zanpakuto; punching the sand wave and once again producing glass shards.

"HAHA you've made this too easy!" laughed Tambien thrusting his claws forward sending the assaulting shards of glass in Kenrichi direction once more.

"Just as I planned" said Kenrichi levitating Ikazuchinaito in the air and lightly hit the hilt, causing it to spin like a fan.

"Huh what's he doing?" asked Tambien.

"Hadō #58 Tenran!" shouted Kenrichi grasping onto his sword's hilt and sent a tornado flying in the direction of the glass shards, scooping them up and redirecting them at the arrancar.

"Damn you!" yelled Tambien trying to gain control of the shards only to fall victim to the combined shredding power of the Kidō tornado and his own attack.

"Your resiliency is astounding" said Kenrichi seeing a bloody Tambien emerge from the assault.

"Damn you to hell!" yelled Tambien now visibly angered.

"Bakudō #61 Rikujōkōrō" said Kenrichi binding Tabien's body with the six interconnecting Kidō rods.

"This won't hold me for long soul reaper!" shouted Tambien.

"No but it will hold you long enough to keep your sand out of my way" said Kenrichi pointing his zanpakuto up at the sky.

"What!" thought Tambien.

"Hageshii-raiu Ryu!" yelled Kenrichi as he pointed his blade at the sky creating a dark thundercloud.

"What the hell! What is that!" demanded a panicked Tambien as a giant dragon entity made of pure lightning emerged from the sky.

"This is your final hour; Tambien Garra!" shouted Kenrichi thrusting his sword downwards causing the dragon entity to fly out of the clouds and engulf the arrancar in a seismic blast of electricity.

"YAAAAGH" yelled Tambien in relentless pain as his body began disintegrating under the weight of the high voltage concentrations of electricity.

"Farewell Tambien Garra remember my name for all eternity: Captain Kenrichi Yabureme of Squad 9!" said Kenrichi sealing and sheathing his zanpakuto.

oOo

"And that makes number four" said Ochocientos smirking as the sky cleared of the dark clouds created by Kenrichi.

"Grr" grunted Siglo clenching his fists.
