"Uryu!" Orihime said. When Orihime was taken away, Uryu managed to find her and come to her rescue. She was going to join him, but Masuru placed his foot down on her from going anywhere.
"If I were you, I get away from her." Uryu said as he was about to launch another bow at him.
"Rinnosuke, Omai, get rid of him." Riesin said. The two of them jumped up and went on both sides of Uryu. Omai went to attack him directly as he slammed his fist down, but Uryu jumped out of the way as his fist left some cracks in the roof.
"Omai, you are such a muscle head." Rinnosuke said. "This one is obviously someone we shouldn't take lightly."
"And how do you suppose we handle him?" Omai said.
"Add some little brain to when you attack." Rinnosuke said.
"I take it you are just the man for the job." Uryu said.
"Perhaps, but we won't know until we actually fight." Rinnosuke said. "Let's see what you can really do before I erase your existence."
….
Ichigo
Ichigo was in his soul reaper form and moved from one building to another as he tried to find Orihime. He looked ahead and saw Karin and Chad and the three of them regrouped.
"Did you two had any luck?" Ichigo said.
"No." Chad said.
"Maybe Uryu had better luck." Karin suggested.
"I hope so. We have to keep searching." Ichigo said as he was about to keep going, but he picked up on some spiritual pressure. "This way!" He led the way and the other two followed.
…
Uryu
Uryu was flying backwards as he unleashed so many arrows, but Rinnosuke jumped up to intercept the attack.
"Shiten Kesshun." Rinnosuke said. Rinnosuke formed a blue square from his powers and blocked each of the arrows. Omai jumped up from behind Rinnosuke to attack.
"Gotei Zanshun!" Omai said and unleashed five attacks at once. Uryu used Hirenkyaku to avoid each of them.
'Their powers are similar to Orihime's, but they're also different. Who are they?' Uryu analyzed and went behind a water tower. "Where are you going?" Omai went after him and reached the tower, but he was already gone. Uryu was heading for Orihime with her right behind Rinnosuke.
"Oh please don't hurt little old me." Rinnosuke taunted. Uryu was about to fire again, but Rinnosuke acted faster. "Koten Zanshun!" Rinnosuke shot the single attack, but Uryu used Hirenkyaku to avoid it as well and aimed from above.
"I've got you!" Uryu claimed.
"Uryu, watch out!" Orihime called out, but he ended up getting socked on his right jaw by Omai. He bounced against the ground and landed near Misha.
'I let my guard down. That was my mistake.' Uryu thought as he spat out some blood.
"Misha, strike!" Riesin said, but Misha wasn't even moving. Uryu got back up and moved back. "Why didn't you attack?"
"I'm sorry." Misha said as she clutched her hat and acted scared. "I'm sorry, but you know my powers don't have any offense to them."
"What good is she?" Omai said.
"Enough of this." Masuru said. "Lord Risesin, this woman is simply impure. Allow me to destroy her."
"I don't think so." He looked behind him and saw Ichigo was about to strike at him, but Masuru jumped out of the way of his attack.
"Fight Fiercely, Yasei Senshi!" Omai saw Chad coming at him with his zanpakuto as a mace and slammed it against him as Omai was sent flying to the ground.
"Keep balance of good and bad, Ikari to Yasashi!" Karin unleashed her black and white swords and swung them at Rinnosuke, but he jumped out of the way. Ichigo helped Orihime up with all of them regrouping.
"More peasants." Zenous said.
"Its fine, Zenou. They're just soul reapers." Riesin said.
"Uryu, are you alright?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll be fine." Uryu said. "We have to be careful. All of them possess the same ability as Orihime, but they're in different formations. The one standing at the top like that I presume is the leader." Omai was still down and Misha was going over cautiously to help him.
"Omai, I'll help you." Misha said as she was about to use her powers, but he sat up.
"I can do it myself." Omai said. "Koten Kisshun." He used his remaining shun shun raikko and was able to heal the whole Chad placed in his gut with him able to sit up again. "If you're not going to fight, get out of the way!" He shoved her against the wall and she knocked her head. Karin saw that and didn't like it.
"You brute! Isn't she on your side?" Karin said.
"Mind your own business. Can we erase all these fools already?" Omai said.
"You're not getting the chance." They all heard someone else's voice.
"Roar, Zabimaru!"
"Hado 33: Sokatsui!" A stretchable sword and a blue flash came at the enemy, but Rinnosuke used his shield and blocked both of the attacks. Renji and Rukia appeared in front of the groups.
"Renji! Rukia!" Orihime said with joy.
"What are you two doing here?" Ichigo said.
"The Department of Research and Development picked up strange spiritual pressure. It was the likes of which that was never detected before." Rukia said. "It was similar to a human's, but different at the same time."
"So we were sent to investigate. I take it these people are the source of it." Renji said.
"Yeah. They were after Orihime." Chad said.
"They all have the same abilities as Orihime does." Uryu said.
"This is starting to become a nuisance." Riesin said. "If all of you are so tough, let's see how you handle an attack for each of you. Dokuten Zanshun, I reject!" All of his shun shun raikko shot out from his wing and shot out in a black aura, but all of them dived out of the way and caused a great impact and all of them narrowly avoided it.
"I've got this. Dairekuto!" Chad shot out energy from his mace and caused all of them to scatter out. Orihime had Zenou in her sights.
'Now's my chance! I've got to stop them.' Orihime thought as she went to attack him, but Zenou started coughing and blood coughed out. When Orihime saw that, she stopped her attack and saw he was in misery.
"Orihime, what are you doing?" Rukia said. Zenou saw her and pushed her back and he jumped up so he was squatting next to Riesin. Rukia raced over to Orihime's side. "Why did you hesitate to attack?"
"That boy….he seems ill." Orihime said. Orihime might be more confident in her fighting abilities, but she can't bring herself to fight someone who can't fight back.
"This is becoming a nuisance. I think it's time we go." Riesin said as all of them regrouped.
"Hang on. Who the hell are you people and what do you want with Orihime?" Ichigo said. "Also, how do you have the same powers as her?"
"Very well. I'll tell you." Riesin said. "We are known as the Roiyariti. Our powers are known as the Shun Shun Rikka, for females, and Shun Shun Raikko, for males. If you are wondering where they come from, it is said that they come from the Hera, the Goddess of Marriage."
"An actual god?!" Uryu said.
"Yes. It is said that Hera was envious of those who were lovers to her husband, Zeus." Riesin said. "Hera resented them, but what others don't know is that she wanted to destroy their possessions and everything they've ever created. So she spread her power through the land when the earth was forming life and formed the Shun Shun Rikka and Raikko. That's why we hold the ability to reject all limitations, even the ones the gods themselves set. It is like WE are gods."
"I knew my original powers were powerful, but I never would have thought that an actual god is where they came from." Orihime said.
"Each of our abilities are divided up in three ways. We have offense, defense, and what you might consider healing." Riesin said. "Each of the six flowers perform one ability. However, each one is different based on the person's characteristics. Though, there is few of us who can have all six flowers perform all the abilities like my son, Zenou."
"Your son?" Orihime said. Zenou zipped down his top and showed the flower as a tattoo covering his chest.
"The power is embedded in his body!" Uryu said.
"But it seems it has a price. Your son is sick." Orihime said.
"Actually, Zenou was born ill. It is the power of the Shun Shun Raikko that keeps him alive today." Riesin said. "I was hoping you would join us Orihime, but I'm afraid you can't. You're impure. Your powers are combined with a soul reaper and soul reapers, as well as all other beings, are insignificant peasants to us."
"Then I would never join I you. I never see anyone like that." Orihime said.
"So be it." Riesin said as he used his rings and opened up a dimensional rift behind him. "Soon, all of you shall bow to us."
"Wait!" Orihime said, but they went through the rift and vanished. All of them were amazed, frighten, and frustrated with what these people are like.
"Look at the bright side. We still got one of them." Karin said as she walked over to Misha who was still unconscious. Orihime was taking this harder than the rest. This is the first time she's ever met anyone with powers like her and she couldn't believe they want to control others.
"Never. We'll never bow to you." Orihime said.
