Chad's body was like a wrecking ball as it crashed into the building. Flying out the other side, he righted himself mid-air and landed hard on his feet. Coming into view from the dust and debris, the green-haired girl stepped out of the gaping hole in the structure with a wide grin on her face. "Good reflexes," she said. "Ya blocked my attack, and ya righted yerself mid-tackle so that ya wouldn't hurt yerself too much on impact. I'm impressed." Chad stayed silent as he extended his left arm out to his side. A clear liquid erupted from his fist and covered his arm. As it solidified, it changed to white with a red stripe running down the length of the center. His fingertips had red diamond shaped marks on them, and a large spike protruded from the shoulder. He raised his shield arm in front of him and held his left arm at the ready. The arrancar's grin widened. "Yer Yasutora Sado, s'that right?"
"Yeah…" was his short anwer.
"Well ain't this my lucky day, then. I heard 'bout yet powers. Ya fight wit yer fists, right? Me too," She tapped the small kodachi that was strapped to the back of her waist. "Sword fightin's fun an' all, but I like me a good ol' brawl." She raised her fist up in front of her, and brought her right knee up to her stomach in a fighting stance. "Ya got any particular fightin' style ya like t' use?"
"…Not really, no," he replied.
"Me, I'm a kickboxer. Nothin' too fancy, but it gets th' job done." Setting her leg back down on the ground, she cocked her head off to one side. "You ain't much've a talker, are ya?" When Chad remained silent, she just grinned again. "I see. You jus' wanna get th' show on th' road, am I right? Alrighty then." The girl gnashed her pointed teeth together a few times. "Oh, an' th' name's Domino Yeltz Boone. But you can call me Yeltz. I guess it's only fair ya know my name since I know yers, Yasutora Sado."
"…Call me Chad," was the boy's only reply.
Yeltz grinned. "Alrighty then, Chad. I can't wait t' gnaw th' skin off yer bones!" She moved forward quickly, using her Sonído to disappear and reappear closer and closer. Just as she was right on Chad, she vanished. Whirling around, Chad had just enough time to swing his right arm up to block a crushing roundhouse from the arrancar.
Sliding back a few yards but keeping his feet planted, Chad sprinted towards his foe, his left hand open. Blueish disks of static energy were forming at his fingertips and sparking around in his palm. There's no need to prolong this battle…! He thought as he rushed forward. The spike on his right shoulder split open into three prongs, and blue energy blasted forth. Swinging his right fist at Yeltz, he cried, "El Directo!"
The green-haired arrancar dodged to the left, easily avoiding the attack. "You'll havta do better n'at, Chad," she called out with a smile.
"I am," he said, clenching his left fist. He threw a left hook hard into Yeltz's side, catching her off-guard and knocking the wind out of her. Her eyes went white on impact, and spit flew from her mouth. "La Muerte."
With an explosion of blue, Yeltz went flying sideways into a building, smashing through it and causing debris to fly everywhere. Chad let his fists fall to his sides. It's not over yet, he thought. I still have to help the others. Running back to the hole he had originally flown through, he was about to climb through when he felt something tug at the back of his shirt. "We're not done here." Chad was thrown backwards through the air and landed tumbling in the street. Getting to his feet, he saw Yeltz standing before him, looking mostly unscathed but for a burn mark where his fist has hit her. "Ya thought that attack would put me outta commission?" she snarled, baring her teeth. "It'll take a lot more n'at t' put me down, boy." Moving faster than Chad could react, her fist made contact with his chin as she rocked him with an uppercut. Chad almost bit his tongue off as his teeth gritted together and his body rocketed skyward. That attack barely fazed her… Yeltz appeared above him, her right leg raised high in the air. Chad moved quickly, twisting his body in the air so that his shield arm would block the attack. Yeltz's leg came down in a powerful axe kick, and Chad was hurled back to the earth like a meteorite.
Yeltz landed safely on the ground as Chad was slowly getting to his feet. He might have blocked the kick, but the impact had sent him smashing into the ground back-first. He wiped the blood from his chin, never taking his eyes off the arrancar. One quick blow won't be enough to take her out. I'll need to keep connecting strong hits to wear her down. Overhead, he saw the air flash, and for a moment a large bubble-like dome was visible in the sky before vanishing. Someone must have put up a barrier, he thought. Good. Now I don't have to hold back. His right shoulder began to blaze again, and he pulled back his fist. "El Directo!" Throwing his fist forward, a large blue wave of energy erupted forth. Yeltz easily sidestepped the blast, grinning at Chad all the while. Chad charged forward, both fists clenched tight. Yeltz stood her ground, her eyes almost beckoning Chad closer. Chad connected a strong left to her face, and her neck snapped back from the force. Within seconds she recovered, and countered with a swift uppercut to his gut.
The two of them exchanged blows, Chad throwing slow but strong swings while Yeltz delivered quick stinging hits. Throughout all of this, Yeltz was laughing maniacally. "This is great," she cried, a crazed grin streaked across her face. Her eyes had gone wide, and her pupils were large and black like a shark's. Blood was flying amongst the two of them, though whose blood it was at this point was hard to tell.
Chad knew that Yeltz was allowing them to fight like this because she enjoyed it; she was much faster than he was, and although Chad was physically stronger she could have easily overwhelmed him with her speed. He had to take advantage of this while he could. If I can just connect a few more strong blows…
"Chad, yer slowin' down," the wild arrancar shrieked, throwing a flurry of kicks his way. "I don' wan' this t' end yet!" She was right; more and more of her attacks were starting to hit him before he could dodge or block. He was getting tired. But so was she.
"I do," Chad said, jumping back out of range of Yeltz's attack. "El Directo!"
This time the blast made a direct hit, and it send Yeltz soaring backwards like an azure comet. Chad raced after her, not wanting to give her any time to recover. He found her stumbling to her feet from a crumpled car she had smashed into. Chad's left fist caught her under the jaw, and before she could even lift the ground his right arm slammed her into the ground. Chad raised a clenched left fist, sparks flying around his arm. "La-"
A strong kick caught him in the side, and he stumbled as he lost his breath. Yeltz sprung into the air, blood dripping from her nose and mouth. "RAAAAH!" It seemed that the more blood she tasted, whether it was Chad's or her own, the wider her pupils got. The whites of her eyes were almost invisible at this point as she pounced towards Chad, mouth agape in a mad battle cry. Chad rolled away from her as she threw an axe kick that split the ground open. Yeltz shrieked again as she leapt at the boy, looking more like a crazed beast than a person. She landed on top of him and unloaded a burst of furious punches on his face. "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE," she chanted as she continued to beat Chad. "BLEED BLEED BLEED BLEED DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!"
Chad finally yelled and threw her off of him using his reiatsu. As they both got up, Chad's right shoulder began to blaze again. Yeltz pounced with a roar, but Chad was ready this time. "El Directo!" His punch hit her in the chest again, and she went tumbling backwards. Again she got up, and again she pounced. Her bloodlust had blinded her to reason. This time, she landed on Chad again and began to punch and scratch at his face. In the mad flurry of it all, Chad was able to get his right arm free and grab Yeltz by her shirt. He pushed her back, and then curled his left hand in a tight fist. "La Muerte!" he cried as his fist crunched into the side of her head, knocking it to the side with a painful snapping sound. She rolled off to the side as he slowly got to his feet, blood pouring from his face in various places. She lay still for a long time while Chad just stood breathing heavily while blood dripped from his body.
Eventually, her body shook as though it was shocking itself back to life, and she stood up slowly. She was wobbly on her feet, Chad could see, and her head was leaning uncomfortably to one side. "Ya… Ya almost broke mah neck with tha' one…" she mumbled, shambling towards Chad. Her body didn't seem to be cooperating with her anymore. "I c'n barely move…" She chuckled roughly, and then coughed up a bit of blood.
"It's over, Yeltz," Chad said, wiping the blood from his face with his shirt. "You're going to die."
"Heh… Heh heh… Nah… It ain't…" she fell to one knee, panting heavily. "It ain't over…"
"I'm sorry it had to end like this," Chad said, turning away from her. "I didn't mean to do this to you…"
"Don' ya dare… Turn yer… back to me…!" She was getting up, slowly and weakly. She pulled her sword from its sheath and raised it in front of her face. "I still have… A' ace in th' hole…!"
Feeling her reiatsu rise, Chad turned around, remembering. No…
"Didja ferget," she said, smiling in spite of her appearance. "We arrancar… we have a released state. Jus' like th' Shinigami…"
Dammit, no! Chad had no time to react. It felt like time was standing still.
Yeltz's small blade began to glow with a faint green light, and the air around her began to whip around her like a small hurricane. "Hunt… Jaquetón Blanco!"
Hey guys, BlackShenlong here! Sorry I have not updated in a while! I was just finishing up the school year, and I wasn't having much writing inspiration anyway. But now I'm back, and I plan to be updating a lot more coming up. I'll be honest, it was really hard writing this chapter because Chad has really boring powers in my opinion, but in the second part of the fight I think I can have more fun with my OC's resurrección. Hope you guys like this chapter more than I liked writing it! And thanks for sticking with me!
