Returning War Part 1
Chapter 13 Disaster Situation; The New Battleground is Karakura Town!?
(Tenkai Kecchu; Replica Karakura Town)
"Hm this is getting rather dull I think it's almost time to take this war to a new battlefield, hehehe" snickered Senken from within his fire prison as a small light appeared on his fingertip.
oOo
"Hm well this isn't good" said Isshin staring down the bird-like creature standing before himself and Rangiku.
"Indeed we need to be careful" said Rangiku.
"Elemento Fusión, just as it's name suggests the three of us have fused our bodies together creating a phoenix transformation that commands several different elemental forces and the best part is we still maintain our individuality" said Nespira's voice ringing out from the phoenix-like creature.
"Damn well this isn't good, I picked one hell of a time to come out of retirement" thought Isshin nervously smiling.
oOo
*CLASH*
"Hrg" grunted Toshiro trying to gain the upper hand but then jumped back when Arpia took a slash with one of her daggers.
"Your strength is impressive captain, you truly wear that title well" said Arpia.
"How long do you intend to waste time talking? If you don't fully concentrate on this battle…" said Toshiro using flash step to appear behind Arpia.
"Yes?" Arpia said closing her eyes.
"…You'll die!" shouted Toshiro swinging his sword only for Arpia to raise one of her daggers in defense.
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
*CLASH*
oOo
"Lets begin then shall we!" shouted Nespira as the transformed phoenix disappeared.
"Uh where are they?" asked Rangiku in panic.
"Right here" said Nespira's voice echoing from the bird beast as she called down a thunder shock.
"Heina….AAAAAAGH" shouted Rangiku as she was struck and felt thousands of volts coursing through her body.
"Lieutenant!" shouted Isshin rushing to Rangiku's side only to be blocked by a sudden wall of earth.
"Oh no you shouldn't get involved in fact why don't you just get outta here!" said Milanesa's voice from within the phoenix as she hurled a wind gust at the earth barrier, mixing the two together and continued it's path towards Isshin.
"Wind and earth huh interesting combo but it's too slow for me" said Isshin easily dodging the storm of earth and wind.
"Oh really then lets try this" said Mismo's voice from within the phoenix as she called down a thunderstorm.
"Hah is this supposed to stop me!" shouted Isshin in a playful voice as he dodged the thunderbolts.
"No but this will!" shouted Nespira's voice as she grasped onto Isshin with the bird's talons of wind and sent him flying.
"Aaaagh!" shouted Isshin as he was sent flying into a building.
*FWOOM*
oOo
"Ah What!?" said Toshiro visibly shocked while Arpia came at her with her twin daggers again.
*CLASH*
"Both Rangiku and Isshin are down what the hell is going on!?" thought Toshiro in a worried tone.
oOo
Rangiku's charred body began to fall to the ground below.
"Damn it what the hell was that, oh no Lieutenant" said Isshin regaining his composure and dashed over to where Rangiku was falling and caught her just seconds before she hit the pavement.
"Ngh" grunted Rangiku in immense pain.
"Damn Rangiku's in some serious pain it almost looks like both her body and insides have nearly shut down from that immense exposure to electricity, well this is ironic I've spent the majority of my life as a doctor yet I can't help her now she needs someone who knows how to use their spirit energy for medicinal purposes" thought Isshin as a shadow loomed over him.
"Die fool!" shouted the voices of all three arrancar at once as they clotheslined Isshin with one of their phoenix wings, sending him on a direct collision with the road while Rangiku was sent flying into the air.
"Okay now that one hurt, it looks like they just cracked a few of my ribs" though Isshin doubling over in pain while he was sent skidding across the pavement, causing a large indent.
"Bakudō # 37. Tsuriboshi" shouted Izuru cushioning Rangiku from further harm
"Bakudō #61 Rikujōkōrō" shouted Rukia binding the three arrancar's combined phoenix form with six interconnected rods of Kidō.
"Hya!" shouted Shuhei wrapping the chain of Kazeshini around the phoenix's talons then thrust down, sending the three fused arrancars pummeling to the ground.
"Damn you all!" shouted the three at once as their body broke free of its binds and took it to the sky.
"Bakudō #63 Raikōhō" shouted Kenrichi electrocuting them with very little effect.
"Well this is embarrassing getting rescued by a bunch of bratty lieutenants and their Captains especially since one of said Captains is my future daughter-law" said Isshin weakly.
"Shut up Isshin we're only saving your ass cause we owe you for rescuing Rangiku" said Shuhei.
"Well it appears that these guys have decided to interfere" said Mismo voice from within the phoenix.
"Ah who the hell cares them more there are the more we get to kill" said Nespira changing voices with Mismo.
"Just be careful those are both Captains and Lieutenants down there" shouted Milanesa.
"So this beast is a combined form of three arrancar and they appear to be able to switch control, rather interesting" said Kenrichi analyzing the situation.
"It's confusing more than anything" said Shunsui rubbing his head.
"Izuru I want you to get going on the first aid and make it quick" ordered Rukia.
"Yes Captain" said Izuru gathering up Rangiku while holding onto Isshin by his arm.
"Don't you dare think you can get away from us!" shouted Nespira's voice sending a wave of earth at Izuru.
"Bakudō # 73 Tozanshō" chanted Izuru as an inverted pyramid barrier surrounded him and the wounded.
oOo
(Within the Barrier)
"How are doing over there Isshin?" asked Izuru.
"I'm fine just a couple of cracked ribs but worry about Rangiku for now according to the brief analysis I conducted both her body and her insides are close to the point of shutdown" said Isshin supporting himself by using his zanpakuto.
"You're right about that" said Izuru as he began healing Rangiku.
oOo
"Hm I fear my zanpakuto's shikai abilities might be useless in this fight as well as abilities that have the elemental force of wind and earth" explained Kenrichi.
"What makes you say that Captain?" asked Shuhei.
"You saw it didn't you Shuhei? My Raikōhō had very little effect on them in fact it almost looked as if it was absorbed through they're electrified head so I'm willing to wager that attacks of lightning, earth and wind are ineffective against them in this form because each part of there body is made up of one of these elements" explained Kenrichi.
"Makes sense so what do we do now?" asked Shuhei.
"We fight of course, your zanpakuto may be useless in a fight like this Kenrichi but you can still use other methods you are a captain after all" said Rukia stepping forward.
"Heh I knew that Rukia I was just wondering how to start but as I said this fact might just be true for my shikai but if I could have an opening to use my bankai then we could easily take these guys out" said Kenrichi smirking.
"Then let me start things off, Dance, Sode no Shirayuki; San no mai, Shirafune" said Rukia releasing her zanpakuto by holding it in front of her and turned it counter-clockwise causing the sword to change into a blade with a pure white appearance then followed up by gathering moisture in the air causing her zanpakuto to extend and pierce the transformed arrancars through the body.
"Ngh, damn her!" shouted Nespira as the beast's earth-based body began to freeze.
"Shuhei strike now!" ordered Rukia.
"Right, Bakudō #62 Hyapporankan!" yelled Shuhei throwing a rod of kidō at the transformed arrancars.
"Huh so since you couldn't defeat us with elemental force you decided to use kidō how…huh what!" mocked Nespira's voice from inside the phoenix which changed to fear as the one rod multiplied into many and pinned it to a nearby building then followed up with a quick assault of spinning slashes.
"Time to go for a ride girls" said Shuhei wrapping Kazeshini's chain around the phoenix and started twirling it around in circles then loosened his grip which sent them flying to the ground below.
*FWOOM*
"Damn it" shouted Milanesa's voice controlling the phoenix body to get up and take to the sky once more.
"Well why don't we finish this up" said Rukia appearing before the merged trio.
"Heh don't think it will be that easy we can still control our elements remember!" shouted Milanesa as chunks and boulders of earth shot up from the ground below towards the group.
"Damn it forgot about this trick" said Kenrichi dodging the flurry of boulders with the others.
"It's a very interesting distraction" said Rukia freezing and breaking the chunks of earth.
"Heads up fools!" mocked Nespira's voice from within the now free beast, summoning a thunderstorm upon the group.
"Scatter!" shouted Rukia as herself and Shuhei split up while Kenrichi stayed put.
"Captain look out!" shouted Shuhei
"I've had enough of this farce, Bankai!" shouted Kenrichi releasing his bankai by drawing in the assaulting thunderbolts and reforming them into the giant knight.
"What the hell!" shouted all three arrancar in unison fear.
"Ikazuchinaito Joutei" said Kenrichi with a look of malice in his eyes while his giant bankai knight came into full view behind him.
"We need to split now!" shouted Milanesa as all three arrancars separated from each other, ending their transformation.
"Too late!" shouted Kenrichi bringing his sword down in one quick motion causing his giant to do the same.
"AAAAAGH!" shouted all three arrancars as they were overwhelmed and brought to there knees.
"Juhaku" said Rukia stabbing Sode no Shirayuki into the ground, effectively freezing the three arrancars in place.
"Damn it" said Nespira trying to break free of the ice.
"Well finish us off!" shouted Milanesa in a defeated tone.
"Hm, I'm choosing to spare your life despite what you've done" said Kenrichi resealing and sheathing his zanpakuto and walked away.
"Damn you! AAAAAAGH!" shouted Nespira breaking herself and her sister free of the ice then lead them in another assault against Kenrichi only for a blaze of flames to engulf their bodies.
"W…What!?" said Kenrichi in shock.
"Never take your eyes off your enemy isn't that one of the fundamental rules I taught you Kenrichi" said Yamamoto approaching the three of them with Byakuya in tow.
"Master" said Kenrichi turning to the head captain.
"Head Captain Yamamoto and my brother" said Rukia in shock.
"I'll finish this, Scatter Senbonzakura" said Byakuya releasing his shikai, surrounding the three arrancar in a display of blades that resembled cherry blossoms.
"AAAAAGH!" shouted all three in their final bloodcurdling screams while being cut by the flurry of blades.
oOo
So the three harpy have lost it's no matter I'm finally ready to bring this war into it's final stages" said Senken firing three thin and strong beams of energy which pierced the fired and continued on a collision course with the three remaining pillars
oOo
"Well that takes care of that" said Byakuya resealing his zanpakuto.
"Not yet" said Yamamoto looking up at the ring of fire that was entrapping Senken.
*FWOOM*
*FWOOM*
*FWOOM*
The sound of the explosions alerted everyone on the battlefield
"What!" shouted Shuhei turning to the sight of the explosions in a terrified shock.
"The pillars, they've been destroyed!" shouted Kenrichi.
"And that means, Karakura Town is returning!" shouted Rukia in fear as the reversion process began and the replica town began to completely disappear, leaving the real pone exposed.
"So this was what you were planning Senken!" shouted Yamamoto in an uncontrollable rage.
oOo
"HAHAHAHAHAHA prepare for the real battle Soul Society!" laughed Senken still within the ring of fire
