Returning War Part 1
Chapter 7 Shuhei's Dilemma! The Frenzied Assault of the Reaping Blades
(Tenkai Kecchu; Replica Karakura Town)
"Well I do believe that's now four of Siglo's generals defeated, I never should've wasted the effort transforming those six fools into arrancars if I'd have known they'd be defeated so easily; on the other hand these conflicts have provided me with quite a bit of entertainment so I guess it's not a total loss" said Senken smiling while still hearing the sound of conflict within the circle of fire.
oOo

*FWOOM*
"Ugh" grunted Shuhei getting up from underneath some rubble.
"Amazing isn't it; just how powerful I've become by raising my spiritual pressure" said El Ray charging at Shuhei.
*CLASH*
"Oh no this won't due" said El Ray forcing his sword down further, cutting Shuhei's shoulder.
"Ugh" grunted Shuhei.
"Toro, toro, toro, toro!" shouted El Ray parrying with Shuhei then kicked him into a telephone pole.
"Not so fast" thought Shuhei rebounding off the pole then charged at high speeds towards the arrancar.
"Not good enough" said El Ray dodging as Shuhei ended up sliding into the same pile of rubble but emerged seconds later.
"YAAAAA!" yelled Shihei charging again.
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
"Watch your feet" said Shuhei attempting to make the arrancar trip.
"Heh" snickered El Ray smply kicking the sword away from him then grasped onto Shuhei's arm and tossed him into the air.
"Damn it" cursed Shuhei noticing El Ray following in pursuit.
"Here I come!" shouted El Ray swinging his sword.
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
"Hehe" snickered El Ray as he used sonido and took a slice at Shuhei's left arm then turned around and fired a crimson red cero from his mouth.
"Ugh" grunted Shuhei getting back up from the cut to his arm and nearly dodged the assault.
"It's useless in this battle I have you caught in an everlasting trap" said El Ray immediately following up with a barrage of crimson red bala blasts while Shuhei attempted to dodge every one.
"Ugh!" grunted Shuhei as he got caught in a barrage sending him plummeting to the ground like a stone.
"Well that was no fun you dropped like a rock after suffering a bala attack that used only half of my collected spirit energy" said El Ray.
"That was only half!" thought Shuhei in distress regaining his composure and stood face to face with El Ray once more.
"So tell me Lieutenant do you honestly think you can defeat me now? I mean lets be serious you haven't shown a single sign of that happening ever since I raised my spirit energy" said El Ray smirking while crossing his arms.
"Huhuhuhuhu" panted Shuhei.
"You're looking a little tired why don't you just back away and allow me to destroy this pillar" said El Ray using snido to appear right in front of Shuhei with a raised arm and sword.
"Uh" said Shuhei in shock.
"Now wouldn't that be better than dying, Lieutenant" said El Ray jabbing Shuhei on the head with his blades hilt then punched him in the gut sending him flying.
"Grr" said Shuhei briefly falling then used flash step to appear behind El Ray in an attempt to finally slash him.
"Honestly your joking right" said El Ray grasping onto Shuhei's arm.
"Grr" growled Shuhei trying to break free.
"There are so many things I can do to you right now but why stray from the classics" said El Ray kneeing Shuhei in the gut and tossed him into the bridge with a cero following in short pursuit.
"Gya!" shouted Shuhei in a brief moment of pain then stabilized himself on the ropes of the bridge.
"You really are a stubborn one aren't you? I'm surprised you're alive" said El Raty meeting Shuhei on the bridge.
"Man your even more of a pain in the ass than my last opponent, what are you trying to say? I've have had a better chance fighting someone else" said Shuhei.
"Precisely, after I released my spiritual pressure my power easily became equal to that of a captain meanwhile your nothing but a second in command Lieutenant, evidently showing that while you could've stood a chance against one of my weaker cohorts, you had no chance of defeating me from the moment we crossed blades" explained El Ray.
"You can quit called me Lieutenant I told you from the start that I'm Shuhei Hisagi" said Shuhei.
"Forgive me, I guess I felt that there's really no need to use your name since every opponent I face dies but you've earned my respect and as such I'll finish this in the design your most accustomed to and by that I mean this struggle will end when I slice and dice you Shuhei Hisagi; Charge and Impale Toro Cuerno" said El Ray smiling as he released his zanpakuto causing spirit energy to engulf his body then reappeared with a more bovine-like appearance.
"So this is your released state" said Shuhei looking on as the arrancar had sported armor resembling that of a bull with hair growing out of the arm and leg plating while horns grew out of his head and wrists and his feet turned into hooves.
"Precisely and although it looks quite bulky I assure you it's made me both stronger and faster" said El Ray.
"If you think this intimidates me your sadly mistaken" said Shuhei.
"Oh trust me this isn't meant to intimidate you" said El Ray using sonido to appear under Shuhei.
"Huh" said Shuhei in shock.
"It's meant to kill you!" yelled El Ray using his horns and horn-blades, snapping the support ropes where Shuhei was standing, causing him to flip backwards.
"Nice going, you avoided my horn blade perfectly" complimented El Ray.
"Save your compliments for someone who gives a damn" said Shuhei briefly spinning back.
"Seems you still has some fight left in you" smiled El Ray as the two combatants charged at each other.
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
"In this fight it's like a matador fighting a bull, the one with the quickest reaction time is the winner the only question is: Is the matador going to dominate the bull with his red cape or will the bull impale the matador with his sharp horns!" said El Ray standing his ground while blocking Shuhei's blade.
"I guess we'll just have t find out!" yelled Shunsui backing away and releasing the band around his arm, which soon started to glow.
"Ugh!" grunted El Ray as the band exploded in his face, effectively blinding his field of vision.
"Bakudō #62 Hyapporankan" said Hisagi manifesting a blue-white glowing rod in his hand and threw it at El Ray, which soon duplicated from one to many upon contact.
"Damn" said El Ray as he soon found himself pinned to the street by the Bakudō spell.
"I guess the matador wins!" yelled Shuhei pushing forward with a two handed thrust.
"Don't underestimate me soul reaper" said El Ray sending out a barrage of horn blades from his wrist.
"Uh" grunted Shuhei using flash step to dodge then landed safely on the ground.
"Hehehehehe" laughed El Ray.
"Damn it" thought Shuhei as he dodged another barrage of horn blades from the arrancar's wrist.
"Projectiles!" said Shuhei in confusion looking up at the sky.
"Precisely, but it's not wise for the matador to take his eyes off the bull so it appears that the bull has won" said El Ray breaking free and fired more horns at Shuhei who had his back turned.
"Damn" said Shuhei barely dodging then took to the sky.
"Don't even think of getting away soul reaper!" yelled El Raay firing a combined barrage of horn blades and bala blasts.
"Time to end this" said Shuhei continuously dodging and deflecting the combination of balas and horns.
"It's over for you soul reaper!" shouted El Ray.
"Reap, Kazeshini" said Shuhei releasing his zanpakuto which surrounded him in an orb of wind, deflecting the combined barrage then reemerged wielding dual chain-linked kusarigama weapons with two scythe blades on each.
oOo
"It's about time Shuhei" said Kenrichi observing the fight from a distance
oOo
(Tenkai Kecchu; Pillar #3)
"Shuhei…You always take so long to release it" said Izuru.
"Yes he does" said Rukia.
oOo
(Tenkai Kecchu; Replica Karakura Town)
"He's finally taking things seriously" said Toshiro.
oOo
"Hehe, that kid has a serious problem understanding the word efficiency" smirked Soi Fon.
oOo
(Tenkai Kecchu Pillar #4)
"So this is the true form of your zanpakuto eh Shuhei Hisagi" said El Ray.
"Ya this is my zanpakuto; Kazeshini but to be honest with you I'm not too fond of it so I try and avoid using it as much as possible" said Shuhei.
"For what possible reason could you want to avoid using your own zanpakuto?" asked El Ray.
"Just look at it and you'll see why" said Shuhei in an intimidating tone holding the blade in front of his face.
"Uh" grunted El Ray in a fearful tone.
"Now you get it, the shape of my zanpakuto's shikai looks like it was made for the specific purpose of reaping lives" said Shuhei throwing his zanpakuto causing the blades to spin at such rapid speeds towards El Ray it slightly cut his face before using sonido to dodge.
"Uh, what!" thought El Ray feeling the scars on his cheeks then dodged again as Shuhei threw Kazeshini once more.
"Hyaaa!" yelled Shuhei slashing down with one of the blades.
"Not close enough" said El Ray using one of the horns on his head to deflect.
*CLASH*
"You blocked that blade but where's the other one?" asked Shuhei
"Huh, damn it" said El Ray using sonido to dodge the second incoming blade that was spinning towards his back then attempted to take a slash at Shuhei
"See ya" said Shuhei taking a dive to dodge the horn blade.
"Your not getting away from me!" yelled El Ray charging his cero from the horns on his head.
"Hmph" snubbed Shuhei pulling on the chain that connected his blades sending them both in the trajectory of El Ray's horns.
"Huh, Gyaaaagh!" yelled out El Ray as his horns broke off, Kazeshini's blades then continued onto the arrancar's shoulders, spurting blood into the air and sent him pummeling down into an alley.
*FWOOM*
"Ugh" grunted El Ray limping out of the alley.
"Very hard to predict it's trajectory isn't it arrancar? Are you afraid?" asked Shuhei looking down at El Ray with the intent to kill in his eyes.
"Like hell I am! I'll split your skull open!" shouted El Ray.
"Really well I know I am" said Shuhei.
"What the hell do you have to be afraid of! That blade of yours! Or is it your enormous amount of speed and power! Because if you are then allow me to show you what else you should fear!" yelled El Ray charging at Shuhei.
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
"You can't win! This is the end of you Shuhei Hisagi!" yelled El Ray pushing Shuhei down.
"Hm" smiled Shuhei pulling on the chain once more while falling, slicing El Ray's entire left arm off.
"Uh" grunted El Ray in shock.
"The truth is arrancar if you don't fear the blade you wield or the strength of an enemy's blade then you don't even deserve to call yourself a man and if you can use that fear to make you strong then you become invincible" said Shuhei spinning his blades around in his hands.
"Uh" grunted El Ray in fear.
"Finally afraid I see then lets begin this as equals" said Shuhei.
"YAAAAAGH!" yelled El Ray firing a barrage of ceros, balas and horn projectiles at Shuhei only for him to dodge using sonido.
"Too slow" said Shuhei from a afar throwing Kazeshini once again causing it to spin at rapid speeds, splitting through El Ray's mid-section.
"Gyagh" grunted El Ray as the two halves of his body pummeled to the ground while Shuhei retracted and resealed his zanpakuto then sheathed it.
"Well in the game of matador against bull I guess the matador wins" said Shuhei standing over El Ray's body.
"Nicely done Shuhei" said Kenrichi walking up to his lieutenant.
"Thank you Captain Yabureme what now?" asked Shuhei.
"Now we…huh" said Shuhei as he was suddenly stopped by a rumbling.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Kenrichi tring to keep his footing.
"Captain look!" said Shuhei in shock, pointing to Ikkaku's pillar crumbling down and a giant goblin looking arrancar standing behind it.
oOo
(Tenkai Kecchu Pillar #3)
"What the hell is that thing! It just leveled the pillar" said Izuru with a distressed look on his face.
"Most likely, Ikkaku's opponent in his resurreccion form" said Rukia scowling.
oOo
(Tenkai Kecchu Pillar #2)
Ikkaku!" yelled out Yumichika knowing instinctively what happened.
oOo
(Tenkai Kecchu; Replica Karakura Town)
"Ikkaku's down" said Toshiro.
oOo
"How the hell was he defeated when he used his bankai!" said Soi Fon in distress while every other Captain and Lieutenant present looked on with glances of despair except for Byakuya and Yamamoto.
(Tenkai Kecchu Pillar #1)
"You really were a pain in the ass, you made me release my Verde Diablo but at least your dead now and you look like such a tiny ant from up here" said the now giant, goblin-looking Trasgo looking down at Ikkaku who was lying on the ground defeated while his bankai reverted back to it's shikai state.
