Returning War Part 1
Chapter 9 The Second Stage of the War Begins! Soul Reapers vs. Espada
(Tenkai Kecchu; Replica Karakura Town)
"And so it's begun the war that will rock the very foundation and balance of the three coexisting worlds; be it Karaura Town, the Soul Society or Hueco Mundo it doesn't matter since all three of these worlds will forever be altered no matter the outcome of this war" said Senken smiling from inside the circle of flames.
oOo
"They're dead, all six of them have been defeated" said Inmenso Armar, a male arrancar and one of Siglo's last two fracciones with ape teeth mask fragments on the top of his head and around his jaw-line.
"Those damned fools only destroyed one pillar" said Envenenar Cuchichear, a female arrancar with snake teeth mask fragments.
"GRRR" grunted Siglo hitting the air causing a slight crack to appear in the sky then walked forward onto the battlefield.
"Uh, Commander Siglo, our deepest apologies sir for the failure of your six generals but with them gone allow us to try and defeat your enemies in their place" said Envenenar bowing before Siglo alongside Inmenso.
"What makes you think you two grunts can do the job my six generals couldn't huh!" demanded Siglo.
"That's just it sir it's because of their failure that we're positive we can win" said Envenenar.
oOo
"Hm" snickered Soi Fon using flash step while each remaining Captain, Lieutenant and Espada scattered and took different areas of the battlefield to face eachother, Shunsui and Jushiro came face to face with Ochocientos, Soi Fon and Ōmaeda faced down Siglo and his last two remaining fracciones while Toshiro and Rangiku faced down Arpia and her sisters, Byakuya in the meantime stayed by the Head Captain's side with Chōjirō.
"So how positive are you that you two fools can win?" asked Soi Fon addressing Envenenar.
"Uh" grunted Envenenar turning to face Soi Fon.
"Are you planning on doing away with our comrades and men down there or did you mean killing all of us? Either way all I have to say is good luck or depending on your reply we'll start with you two" mocked Soi Fon.
"Hm" smiled Envenenar.
"Actually never mind my previous comment, I'm going to kill you here and now no matter what the circumstances are" said Soi Fon drawing her sword.
oOo
"Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake it's nice to see you insolent fools have kept yourselves alive for fifty long years since that day just so I can have the opportunity to make you pay up for your indiscretions towards my fallen brethren" said Ochocientos.
"Hm" said Jushiro and Shunsui with looks of stern confusion on their faces.
oOo
"Think we can take them captain?" asked Rangiku as Nispera, Milanesa and Mismo surrounded her and her captain.
"I know we can" said Toshiro.
oOo
Very well then shall we get the second stage of this conflict underway" said Yamamoto
oOo
"Old man Yama's not taking any chances here" said Shunsui.
"Ya I think he wants us to finish this quickly before Senken tries to make a move" said Jushiro in a solemn tone, staring down Ochocientos.
"As far as I can tell he's always had the means to escape the old man's wall of flame I think he just hasn't made such a move because he's enjoyed watching us struggle to survive" said Shunsui.
"He seems to enjoy treating us like his personal playthings" said Jushiro.
"Who knew the hogyoku could manifest such a sadistic being" said Shunsui smiling.
"Indeed" said Jushiro.
"Still trying to figure out how this guy knows us?" asked Shunsui staring at Ochocientos from under his hat.
"Yes I am, he seems to blame us for something that happened in the past but the question is what?" asked Jushiro.
"It's a long list but we'll figure it out eventually and hopefully before he kills us" said Shunsui.
oOo
"Huhuhuhuhu" panted Ōmaeda in fear.
"Ōmaeda!" shouted Soi Fon.
"Yes Captain" said Ōmaeda.
"You look nervous; are you finally scared this time around?" asked Soi Fon turning her head to her Lieutenant.
"Not exactly I'm just so excited that I wanna get this fight started already" said Ōmaeda.
"Honestly if your still hiding behind that pathetic bravery façade then you truly are a useless moron" said Soi Fon.
"Uh" said Ōmaeda with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Why don't you do us both a favor and make sure to get killed in this battle along with your opponent" said Soi Fon in a blunt voice.
"Uaaah, What are you saying captain! It's not a façade I really do wanna fight and win so I'm not going to run away and I'm not going to die" said Ōmaeda in a nervous tone.
"Fine then do what you want just remember if you don't win and survive I'll kill you myself" said Soi Fon in a more relaxed tone.
"Uh, fine I'll just have to kick my opponent's ass then and even though you still sound like you want to get rid of me I assure you I won't die" said a still nervous Ōmaeda.
oOo
"Here we go; is there anything bothering you?" asked Toshiro addressing his Lieutenant.
"It's nothing, it's just a momentary feel of nostalgia" said Rangiku.
"Alright then make sure to stay focused Rangiku" said Toshiro.
"Right" said Rangiku preparing to draw her sword.
oOo
"Fine then I'll step down but remember this; I want you to slaughter every single grunt that crosses your path and carve my crest into their bodies, don't let a single one escape your wrath and if you so much as return to me alive but defeated I'll kill you myself" said Siglo addressing his last two fraccciones.
"Uh" grunted Envenenar
"Grrr" growled Inmenso.
"Butcher them if you have to but make sure you stain the skies with their blood and declare who's soldiers you are to all who would oppress you!" yelled out Siglo in an enormous rage.
"Yes sir! We are the fracciones of Commander Siglo Deterioro sir! We will crush your enemies and carve your crest into their bodies Commander!" yelled out Envenenar and Inmenso in unison as they stepped forward, standing face to face with Soi Fon and Ōmaeda.
oOo
"So tell us how exactly do you know us? Because we've never met you before" said Shunsui.
"We've never officially met but I did etch your names and faces into my memory when I first witnessed you two and twenty eight other soul reapers slaughtering my brothers and sisters" said Ochocientos in a solemn tone.
"So how did you survive?" asked Jushiro.
"I hid away in one of our secret underground burrows, I even suppressed my spiritual pressure to avoid detection" said Ochocientos.
"I think I'm already starting to paint a picture here of who you are but what's say we get down to business to figure out the rest" said Shunsui.
"Sure thing it's about time you repented for your sin anyway" said Ochocientos drawing his sword and charged at the two captains.
oOo
"Ngh, you two morons won't last a second against us!" yelled out Nispera.
"This is rather unpleasant" said Mismo in a calm tone.
"Stay sharp sisters" said Arpia.
"Uh" said Nispera, Milanesa and Mismo in unison.
"Try not to get overconfident, regardless of their appearance these two are both of Captain and Lieutenant class, underestimating them is the biggest mistake you could make so use your full strength to crush them from the very start" said Arpia.
"Right" said Nispera.
"Hm" said Milanesa nodding her head.
"Yes" said Mismo.
"You wanna go with the usual formation captain?" asked Toshiro.
"Ya you deal with the espada while I take on these three" said Rangiku.
"Can you do it?" asked Toshiro.
"Yes I'm positive" said Rangiku.
"Then do it" said Toshiro leaving the current battle with flash step.
"He's going after sister Arpia" said Nispera.
"Don't move" said Arpia as Toshiro appeared to face the espada while she drew her twin daggers.
oOo
"I implore you all do whatever it takes but you must stop them here! No matter what we cannot allow them to step even an inch within the Soul Society, even if your body is torn to shreds you must do whatever you can to cut them down! Attack now!" ordered Yamamoto. Just as those orders were issued swords began to clash and the ultimate struggle of blade against blade and soul reaper against arrancar began.
oOo
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
"Hehe" smiled Envenenar while standing her ground against Soi Fon.
"Heh" snickered Soi Fon slowly gaining ground against the arrancar.
*CLASH*
"Yaaaa!" screamed Inmenso pushing forward and gaining ground over Ōmaeda.
"Ugh! Ya!" grunted Ōmaeda getting pushed back then punched Inmenso in the gut, sending him flying.
"Uh! hmhm" grunted Inmenso regaining his stance, landed safely on the ground then looked up at Ōmaeda smiling.
"Hmhm" smiled Ōmaeda looking down at Inmenso.
oOo
"Hyaaa!" yelled Milanesa charging at Rangiku with her sword drawn while the Lieutenant continuously dodged.
"Ya!" shouted Rangiku drawing her sword.
*CLASH*
"Hehehehe" laughed Milanesa as she parried with Rangiku for a brief moment before putting some distance between each other.
"Huh" said Nispera noticing the battle between Toshiro and Arpia
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
"That bastard is attacking our sister!" shouted Nespira.
"Nespira wait" said Milanesa.
"Like hell I'm going to wait Milanesa that twerp could seriously harm our sister!" shouted Nespira in a comical anger.
"Be serious would you, sister drew her daggers remember" said Milanesa.
"Uh" said Nespira thinking back to the beginning of the battle where Arpia drew her twin daggers.
"From the moment sister Arpia drew her daggers that white haired boy's fate was set in stone but if you feel you must assist her then finish off this bitch first then deal with the captain" said Milanesa as she faced down Rangiku with Nespira and Mismo.
"Oh ya how could I forget she said something earlier that was quite amusing; I believe you said you'd take us all on at once if I'm not mistaken" said Nespira addressing Rangiku, smiling.
"Well now you hear surprisingly well for a featherhead too bad I can't say the same for your underdeveloped brain" smiled Rangiku.
"What the hell was that! I'll kill you for that!" yelled Nespira in a comical rage while Milanesa held her sister back by the collar.
"You really have to do something about these rage issues of yours you known that" said Milanesa.
"And so the other featherhead starts squawking" said Rangiku slyly smiling.
"What was that who are you calling a squawking featherhead you cow!" yelled out Milanesa in a comical rage.
"Both of you should calm down" said Mismo.
"Grr" growled Nespira and Milanesa in unison turning to their fellow arrancar sister.
"When you get angry it only makes you look weak and not only does it have a direct effect on your efficiency in battle but it makes me look weak as well" said Mismo giggling.
"Damn it Mismo! Who the hell's side are you on anyway!" yelled out Nespira and Milanesa in a comical unison.
"I got an idea lets clobber you first!" shouted Nespira turning to Mismo in an annoyed tone.
"I can deal with that" said Milanesa.
"It was just an insightful thought really especially since your attitudes are like shackles that weigh you down and drag me with you" said Mismo.
"Say that again sis I dare you!" said Nespira.
"I'll say it as many times as I feel like it; your attitudes are like shackles that weigh you down and drag me with you" said Mismo still giggling.
"You are dead sis!" said Milanesa now further annoyed.
"Ya we're gonna slice you up so much you won't be recognizable!" shouted Nespira.
"Then we're going to tear off your body parts one by one!" shouted Milanesa.
"Taunting these girls was a great strategy" thought Rangiku with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"I'll kill you! uh crap" shouted Nespira reaching out to grab Mismo then tripped as Mismo used sonido to dodge her sister.
"You see what I mean" said Mismo.
"And just what the hell are you looking at bitch!" shouted Nespira getting back to her feet, addressing Rangiku.
"Nothing at all" said Rangiku placing her free hand overtop the one wielding her sword.
"Hm" said the three sisters in unison.
"You know if you three morons got serious from the beginning like I thought you would then you would've had a chance at winning this battle if you surrounded me but but now it's too late for that now Growl Haineko!" yelled Rangiku as the blade on her zanpakuto disappeared and turned to a cloud of ash that surrounded the three arrancar.
"How the hell is all this? How do you intend to defeat us with this sand cloud exactly?" asked Nespira walking around.
"Look out" said Mismo tripping Nespira as she banged her head on the ground of the rooftop.
"Ngh that hurt! What the hell was that for sis!" yelled Nespira holding her head.
"I wanted to see if you were truly blind in this flurry of ash" said Mismo.
"Damn you! After this I'll kill you for that!" shouted Nespira as ash began gathering on her back.
"Hm, Ya!" shouted Rangiku slicing the air with her hilt, slicing Nespira's back.
"Nyagh!" grunted Nespira falling to her knees.
"Nespira!" said Milanesa in a frantic tone.
"As you can see you've just witnessed my zanpakuto's ability; the blade turns to ash and by swinging the handle I'm able to cut whatever that ash is covering and so in short I've basically surrounded you with my own weapon" explained Rangiku from behind the ash cloud as she snapped her fingers, turning the cloud into a twister.
"This is weak as hell" said Milanesa and Nespira in unison charging a lime green and a blue cero.
"You've seriously underestimated us" said Mismo charging a yellow cero.
"Now die!" yelled all three firing all three of their cero blasts at once, dispersing the tornado of ash.
"Uh" thought barely Rangiku dodging the assault.
"Did you honestly think that low level of a technique would work! If you did then you're even more of a dumbass bitch than we thought" smiled Nespira.
"We'll crush you where you stand" said Milanesa.
"I kinda thought that wouldn't work but no matter, Haineko!" shouted Rangiku calling back her zanpakuto's technique.
oOo
*CLASH*
"Hehehehe" laughed Inmenso holding his ground against Ōmaeda.
"Ngh! Huhuhuhuhu damn I'm not gonna lose to someone like you!" grunted Ōmaeda pushing forward with all his strength.
"Ngh Die!" yelled Inmenso grasping onto Ōmaeda's collar, tossing him away.
"Yaaaa, ugh" screamed Ōmaeda flipping in circles while plummeting then quickly got his footing back.
"HAHAHAHA!" laughed Inmenso charging, pummeling Ōmaeda into a building.
*FWOOM*
*CLASH*
"Shouldn't you be worried? Your second in command is getting his fat ass kicked by my partner" said Envenenar trying to push forward against Soi Fon.
"Not really if anything it'll be good for him to get his butt kicked around a little since the only thoughts he ever has in that pea-sized brain of his revolve around money, food and his family's business" said Soi Fon holding her ground against the female arrancar then distanced themselves from each other.
"Hm" smiled Envenenar using sonido to attack Soi Fon only for the Squad 2 Captain to use flash step.
"That's pretty heartless of you is that your idea of squad cooperation within the Stealth Force?" asked Envenenar continuously parrying with Soi Fon.
"I don't like a cozy atmosphere in my squad especially since we specialize in assassination and covert missions" said Soi Fon blocking each one of Envenenar's strikes.
"Really; Ugh" said Envenar attempting to kick Soi Fon only for her to grasp onto Envenenar's outreached leg with her own and kick the female arrancar in the face, sending her flying.
"Damn I let myself get overconfident there" said Envenenar falling while Soi Fon created an inverted triangle of spirit energy with three protrusions on each corner.
"Bakudō # 30 Shitotsu Sansen" said Soi Fon as the three protrusions detached from the triangle and pinned Envenenar to a wall.
"Damn it" cursed Envenenar.
"It's all over arrancar" said Soi Fon smirking.
"Grrr" growled Envenenar trying to break free.
"I didn't have time to learn your name but all I needed to learn was that you were affiliated with Senken Fujin.
"Heh of course that's all that's important to you because as I recall you got your bitch ass kicked across the floor the last time you crossed blades with Lord Senken" smirked Envenenar hoping to provoke Soi Fon.
"If you think that's going to intimidate me your sadly mistaken, Sting all Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi" said Soi Fon releasing her zanpakuto causing her sword to shrink and take on the form of a black and gold gauntlet with a small chain linking it to a stinger-like blade on her middle finger. The stinger was twice as long as the normal length of her fingers while the colors and pattern of the Shikai resemble that of a hornet.
"Uh…" said Envenenar in a rather shocked tone.
"Now prepare yourself for death arrancar" said Soi Fon.
