Uryu let a large arrow fly. The arrancar laughed. "Kill me, will you?" Just before the arrow impacted his face, the spider arrancar opened his jaws wide. He chomped into the cerulean bolt, and the explosion it emitted engulfed his entire upper body. When the dust cleared, the arrancar stood grinning. "You're going to have to do a lot better than that, Mr. Ishida!" The arrancar scuttled forward, moving stunningly quickly for a creature that size. It smashed a pointed leg on Uryu's position, but the boy dodged out of the way. The leg impaled the concrete with ease, leaving a gaping hole the size of a basketball. Uryu darted behind his opponent, drawing his bow again. Before he could get a shot off, however, one of the spider's back legs whipped him in the chest and sent him flying backwards. Uryu hit the ground hard, but was able to roll back onto his feet quickly enough. Looking up, he could see the arrancar charging a yellow ball of energy in front of its mouth. "Adiós."
DiAnglez began rapidly firing off Cero blasts like a machine gun. Uryu moved forward just in time to avoid being hit by the energy barrage. Running down the street at full speed, he could hear the arrancar's beams blasting the ground just inches from his body, could smell the burning pavement, could feel the small chunks of concrete bounce off him. He darted down an alleyway, but took a hit to the shoulder before he was out of range. "Shit!" He rolled into the momentary haven the alley provided him, gripping his injured shoulder. The top layer of skin on his shoulder had been burned off, and blood was beginning to stain his white Quincy uniform. Gripping his shoulder, Uryu moved through the alleyway, sticking to the shadows as much as he could. The clouds overhead were growing thicker and darker as time passed.
Uryu darted out of the alley, and was immediately greeted by the arrancar moving in front of him with Sonído. DiAnglez grinned. "Where are you running to, little bug?" he hissed, his distorted voice ringing in Uryu's ears. Uryu went to draw his bow, but the arrancar grabbed his arm and lifted him into the air. "Sit still." The spider's wrist blade pierced into Uryu just underneath the ribcage. He cried out in pain, and the arrancar snickered.
Uryu was thrown through a nearby window into a small convenient store, and crashed through a shelf of candy bars. Uryu tried to get up, but he couldn't seem to get his body to move. His muscles were tightening up, and he was losing feeling throughout his body. "What's…happening…?" he called out rigidly.
"You're feeling the effects of my poison," the arrancar answered. Uryu could hear the arrancar's voice, but he was lying face down on the ground so he couldn't tell if the spider was in the room with him or not. "Or, I guess, you're not feeling much of anything at all anymore…"
After a moment, Uryu slowly began to get to his feet. "Did you forget? I can move my body using reishi threads. It doesn't matter if you break my bones or paralyze me…" Uryu stepped out of the convenience store, and immediately his eyes went wide. The entirety of the area was covered in silky white webbing. It covered the buildings, the street, the cars, the light posts, and arched up overhead so that Uryu was trapped inside a relatively small dome.
"Oh yes, I remembered," the spider yelled down at Uryu. Looking up, the Quincy saw the arrancar standing on the side of a building just as if it was the ground. "I was just trying to buy time." Uryu fired an arrow at the arrancar. The arrancar dodged out of the way long before the arrow came close to him, so Uryu stopped the arrow mid-flight and then redirected it at the dome overhead. It didn't break through completely, but it did tear the web up a bit. However, the web immediately began mending after being damaged. "My web is self-repairing, Mr. Ishida," DiAnglez was now behind Uryu, standing no more than five feet away. The boy reeled back and drew his bow. "You won't be able to open a hole up long enough to escape."
Uryu's body was trembling all over. He was controlling everything with his threads, but he couldn't feel any of his limbs and he was slowly becoming more and more tired. I'm losing too much blood already… He thought. He needed to wrap up this battle quickly. "I'm not planning on running away, Mr. Spenzir," Uryu said with a quivering smile. "I still have to kill you, remember?"
The arrancar did not seem amused this time. "I'm not sure if you've noticed yet, but my web trap shuts out all outside interference. I bet you can't feel any of your comrades' reiatsu anymore." Uryu hadn't notice, but now that he tried to concentrate, he realized that the arrancar spoke the truth. The only reiatsu he could feel were his own and DiAnglez's, but when he tried to feel for the others it was like they weren't there at all. "I am still aware of the outside activities, and I've just sensed that Mr. Sado has successfully eliminated one of my comrades. However, it seems that he lost his life doing so."
"…You're lying." Uryu growled.
The arrancar chuckled humorlessly. "Regardless, this means that we are down a man. And I am aware that my other comrade is fighting someone stronger than Mr. Sado, and this comrade is weaker than the one who was already eliminated."
Uryu was silent for a moment. "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because it means I need to end this fight now so that I can ensure Lord Mu's plan succeeds."
"Lord Mu?" Uryu had not heard this name before. "So is this the man you're working for?" The arrancar remained silent. "Is he the captain who showed up with you all?"
"I do not serve that man." The arrancar stated bluntly.
"Then I must assume we haven't met this Lord Mu yet. Am I correct?" The arrancar said nothing. "I'll take that as a yes. One more question: Is this 'Lord Mu' the one who kidnapped Mr. Urahara?"
"I owe you no answers," DiAnglez said, his hands flexing. "Enough talk." The arrancar opened his mouth, and a yellow ball of energy began to charge. Uryu fired off a large arrow at the ball, and it exploded. Uryu was knocked backwards a ways, and when he was finally able to get to his feet again the spider was gone. Uryu moved cautiously but quickly down the road, his bow drawn and at the ready. He could feel the spider's powerful reiatsu, but it felt as though it was all around him so it was impossible to pinpoint a location. A laugh echoed off the buildings. "Now it's my turn to hide, little bug," the voice came from all around. Uryu remained vigilant, trying to avoid being hit in a blind spot. "As long as some part of your body is touching my web, I can follow your exact movements without even looking at you. And then I can strike where your guard is weakest…!"
A flurry of Cero blasts came bursting from the sky. Uryu rolled out of the blast radius and fired of a few dozen arrows back, but they all were heading for a target that wasn't there. This isn't good, Uryu thought to himself. I can't shoot something I can't see! Another barrage of Ceros fired on Uryu's position. He jumped back, and then the arrancar was right there in front of him. DiAnglez whipped the boy with two of his legs, and Uryu was sent flying. He smashed through a wall, then through another, and another, and then he was rolling on the ground until he hit another wall and stopped. It took him longer to get up this time. My Ransōtengai's starting to waver… I'm more exhausted than I thought. Uryu ran down an alley nearby. He wanted to try to stay out of sight for just a moment, just to gather his thoughts…
The arrancar appeared before him, his expression emotionless. Uryu went to draw his bow, but his hand was hit by something and it knocked him back. Looking at his arm, he saw that it was now covered with the white web. "Over here, Mr. Ishida." Uryu looked up to see the spider's legs coming his way again. He raised his bow as a shield, and although it softened the actual blow it didn't stop him from being smashed through the wall behind him. Uryu coughed up blood as he staggered to his feet again. The arrancar was moving towards him slowly, his hands flexing as he walked. "You've hit your limit, it seems," the distorted voice rasped. "I guess it's time for our little game to come to an end."
Uryu's eyes slanted. He tore the webbing off his arm and drew his bow again. "Agreed." He fired off a large barrage of arrows, and the arrancar countered with his Cero. There was a blast of light, and in the aftermath Uryu darted from the building and back out onto the streets. He ran down and alleyway, then darted up the sides of the surrounding buildings until he was on the rooftops.
"It doesn't matter where you run to," DiAnglez called. "I know where you are."
Uryu chuckled. "You'll have to catch me, though!" He darted from the roof to another, and then to another, moving as quickly as his body would allow. I've got one chance left to end this…
"You're rather quick, little bug," the spider shouted. Uryu knew that he wasn't far behind. "But it seems that running is your only true talent. Uryu touched down on a large rooftop and moved to jump again, but his leg was hit with a blast of web and he fell. "No more." DiAnglez growled. He fired off dozens of web shots from his mouth until the rooftop was covered by a box of silk.
Uryu stood up slowly, drawing his bow back. He fired one arrow, then another, and then two more after that. The arrows missed the arrancar by a large margin, and only managed to pierce each of the corners of the roof. Uryu fell to his knees, dizzy and out of breath. "Damn it…"
The arrancar let out a shrill laugh. "How sad… You can't even fire an arrow straight anymore…" He scuttled slowly towards Uryu, his wrist blades poised to strike. Uryu quickly got up and fired an arrow at the arrancar. It pierced its target and lodged itself in the spider's chest. The spider hissed in pain and lashed out at Uryu, sending him crashing into one of the corners of the rooftop. "Bastard… I was going to give you a quick death, but now I'm going to drag it out," the arrancar fumed. "I'm going to peel off your skin down to the bone, and then I'm going to pull out each bone one by one, and then once you're just a sack of skin left then maybe I will grant you freedom from this earth!"
Uryu chuckled. "It won't come to that, I'm afraid," he said, pulling out a small tube from his coat. "This fight is over."
"What the hell are you talking about? What is that?"
"This… Is Gintō," the Quincy boy said. "Using these in conjunction with the Seele Schneider I fired around the rooftop, I can create a massive detonation. You just made things easier by sealing us in this web arena."
The arrancar laughed, but there was a touch of fear in his voice. "You can't do anything like that. Your reiatsu's much too low at this point!"
"Gintō is basically liquefied reiryoku. When I pour this onto the Seele Schneider, it will connect each one together and trigger an explosion within the borders. I could have just shot the corners of the rooftop, but by shooting your body as well I've effectively made you one of the conduits of energy, thus increasing the damage that will be inflicted upon your body. In short: After this attack, there won't be anything left of you."
DiAnglez took a step back. "B-but if you detonate that in here, you'll be caught in the explosion as well! You'll die, you fool!"
Uryu scoffed. "Don't treat me like an idiot. I'm aware of all of that," The Quincy sighed. "Even so, I have to do this. I can't let you harm the others." Uryu closed his eyes.
DiAnglez Spenzir stood, body shaking. "I won't lose… Not to you… Lord Mu must succeed!" He lunged forward, mouth agape and wrist blades ready to plunge. Uryu let his Ransōtengai fade, and the silver tube fell from his hand. Sorry, Ichigo, Uryu thought to himself, a small smile creeping onto his face. You won't be able to save everyone today…
The rooftop was consumed by the sapphire detonation, and the silky web dome sparkled in the light.
Hi everyone, BlackShenlong here! Finally, the epic conclusion to the battle between Quincy and arrancar is here. Sorry if there are spelling and/or grammar errors. It's like 6 in the morning and I just can't read over this... Anyway, thanks for reading!
