An all-out battle between the Roiyariti has begun with each one of them facing a powerful member. Misha was trying to heal Renji and Rukia, but it was already looking bad from the moment Zenou gained all new power.
"You're mine!" Chad said as he swung his mace, but Masuru formed his shield and blocked the attack. "You won't win!"
"We've already have and there's nothing you can do to stop us." Masuru said. "Santen Zanshun!" Masuru unleashed three of his flowers to attack Chad, but Chad moved away from all of them. "You can't continue to run. Just have a look around and you'll see that your friends are being destroyed as we speak."
"That can't be." Chad said as he looked around. Uryu was fighting Rinnosuke, Karin was against Omai, Ichigo is against Riesin, and he could sense Orihime struggling against Zenou.
"See? You and your friends will disappear here." Masuru said.
"You don't know us very well. Even when it seems like the odds are against us, we find a way to win." Chad said and continued to fight against Masuru.
…
Orihime
Orihime was having a hard time against Zenou. Even with her bankai and in its best form, Orihime could not keep up with Zenou's new power and speed. As for Zenou, he's just been toying around with her.
"Come on, Orihime. I want to have some fun with my new abilities." Zenou said. "Come at me with everything you've got."
"I will." Orihime said as she went to attack. She swung her sword, but Zenou held up his arm and was able to block it without even getting cut. "What?!"
"Is that it? Your boyfriend had more power in his attack." Zenou said and pushed her back. "Not that it would matter if you could cut me or not. I can easily heal myself. Don't let that discourage you. Give it all you've got!" He gave Orihime a powerful kick and sent her flying into the sky. Orihime flew through the air and noticed Zenou got right over her.
'How could he be that fast?!' Orihime thought as Zenou gave her an axe kick and she plummet straight into the ground and into a crater. Orihime tried to climb out with blood running down her head and she could barely get back up.
"Are you already reaching your limit?" Zenou taunted. "I was hoping this would last longer, but if that's all you've got, I am a little disappointed." Orihime wasn't giving up as she managed to stand on her feet again.
"I won't give up. I'll find some way to beat you." Orihime said. "I don't care how strong you are or how strong you think you are. My friends are counting on me to win this battle and I'm not going to let them down."
"Your friends you say? I hate to break it to you, but your friends won't be coming to save you." Zenou said. "They'll all be erased before this day ends."
…
Chad
"Dairekuto!" Chad unleashed the attack, but Masuru brought his shield back up and was able to block the blast.
"I'm telling you that it's useless." Masuru said, but Chad wasn't going to stop. He came and swung his mace around, but Masuru kept using his shield to block every attack and Masuru shook his head with disappointment. "You just don't listen, do you? Nothing you do is going to…" He didn't finish as he felt his shield was breaking.
"Don't be so sure!" Chad said as he gave it one more powerful swing and he was able to break through the shield. Masuru acted quickly and was able to avoid getting hit in the gut by the spikes.
"How did you do that? Are you some sort of demon?" Masuru said.
"I don't give a damn about your powers." Chad said. "I'll keep smashing and smashing away at your shield until you stay down."
"I see. I guess my simple powers aren't going to be enough this time. I'm going to need a stronger shield." Masuru said.
"Stronger shield?" Chad questioned.
"You see, we each hold a fourth ability, or another depending on what each flower can do, with our powers." Masuru said. "It's where we take two aspects of offense, defense, or healing and combine them for a new ability."
'I think I get it. It's just like how Orihime uses her shield and Tsubaki for her Shiten Koshun.' Chad thought. 'However, that is Orihime. What can this one do?'
"You can't defend yourself with this." Masuru said as he crossed his arms. "Triten Zankesshun." His bracelet lit up and all his flowers were released. The ones for attacking formed a shield in his right arm and a sword of nothing, but energy in his left.
"A sword and a shield?!" Chad said.
"That's right. This sword can slice its way through anything and everything. The shield is able to block the same." Masuru said. "Separately my attack and defense abilities are strong, but this technique amplifies that power by tenfold."
"Let's put that to the test." Chad said as he swung his mace, but Masuru held up his shield and blocked the attack the recoil of the attack sent him flying back.
"You were warned." Masuru said as he slashed through a building and the whole thing came timbering down. "I am a knight and I punish those who defy the Roiyariti. Your punishment shall be death."
….
Uryu
Uryu and Rinnosuke sought out to finish what they started a while back. Uryu fired arrow after arrow, but Rinnosuke kept blocking each one. Uryu tried to have them bend and curve around, but Rinnosuke was able to see through his tactics.
"Are you finished?" Rinnosuke said.
"Not even close." Uryu said. 'I'm not beaten, but I'm not getting anywhere. Even if I launch all of my arrows simultaneously, he's blocking each one and I can't get through his shield.' He thought.
"I know what you're thinking." Rinnosuke said. "You're thinking this isn't getting us anywhere and I agree. I think I have just the thing that can turn the tide of this battle."
"What would that be?" Uryu said.
"Watch. Kinshan Senshun!" Rinnosuke pulled out two of his flowers. The one used for attack and the other used for healing. Both of them circled around Rinnosuke and formed bue circles above and below him.
"What is this?" Uryu said.
"I'll show you." Rinnosuke said as he looked around the area. He bent down and picked up a sharp rock from the debris.
"What are you doing?" Uryu said. Rinnosuke took the rock and stabbed himself in the left hand. He tried to keep himself from moaning in pain. Uryu didn't understand what was going on. Then, without warning, the flower at the bottom flew at Uryu and pierced through his left hand. "What just happened?"
"That's my other power by combining my healing and offensive abilities." Rinnosuke said as he took the rock out of his hand with blood flowing down. Uryu looked down at his hand and saw it was bleeding as well. "This ability links our two bodies. Any pain that is dealt to me will be dealt to you as well."
"I see. So if I attack you, it's going to be like I'm attacking myself." Uryu said.
"That's right." Rinnosuke said as he grew a devious smile. "That means that you can't kill me without killing yourself."
"But how am I the one being affected by it?" Uryu said. "All you did was stab your own hand. How come that pain was put on me of all people?"
"Well, your arrows continuously bounced against my shield." Rinnosuke said. "Since traces of your energy was placed in my Shun Shun Raikko, you're the focus of this power. You're completely at my mercy. I'll keep myself on the verge of death and heal myself. You're done for." Uryu is in a lot of trouble. He can't attack Rinnosuke without attacking himself.
….
Karin
Karin was fighting hard against Omai, but he was much bigger and physically stronger than her. Omai unleashed his five flowers, but Karin used her swords to deflect each of them, but each blow kept pushing her back. Omai ran up to her and was going to give her a right hook. Karin crossed her swords and blocked the attack.
"Is that all you've got?" Karin said.
"Not even close." Omai said and he sensed the others using their other abilities. "Looks like Masuru and Rinnosuke unleashed their special powers. Morons. We don't need them against these guys."
"Don't let your guard down." Karin said. "Shiro Surasshu! Kuro Surasshu!" Krin unleashed a black and white slash. Omai jumped out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough. One of the slashes hit his arm and cut it right off. "I've got you."
"Well, I didn't want to do this, but I hate feeling left out." Omai said. "I'll show my other ability. Kerushan Zeroshun."
"What is he doing?" Karin said. One of Omai's flowers flew out of his earrings and placed itself on his chest with waves of red energy flowing through him and it caused his arm to grow back. "What the hell?!"
"That's not even the worse of it." Omai said as he leaped towards her and with great speed that Karin didn't see coming. He drove his knee in Karin's gut and caused some blood to shoot out of her mouth with her sliding against the ground.
"What was that?"
"That's my ability." Omai said. "Kerushan Zeroshun takes my healing power to regenerate any part of my body that is damaged, but there's more. The more damage I take and that is healed, the more powerful I become. With this, I could crush you whenever I please. You should have just stayed away little girl." All of them are in a serious situation. Is there a way out?
…..
Ichigo
Ichigo was the one fighting Riesin. He kept slashing away at Riesin, but Riesin was able to counter each of his attacks.
"Just give it up already. You're only postponing the unavoidable." Riesin said.
"No way. We aren't going to give up that easily." Ichigo said.
"Really? You might want to take a look around." Riesin said and Ichigo did just that. He saw Chad being pushed down, Uryu at Rinnosuke's mercy, and Karin being struck. He could also feel that Orihime was in a lot of danger and things weren't looking good. The Roiyariti was about to finish them, but something stopped them. Omai was cut off by a wall of ice, Masuru was pushed back by a blast of wind, and Rinnosuke was stopped by a flood of petals.
"Looks like we made it just in time."
"You disgraced us and you shall suffer for that."
"Nothing like waiting till the last minute to save the day. Classic hero trait." The three saviors was Shunsui, Toshiro, and Byakuya, three of the captains. Perhaps there is still a chance.
