ch. 8

Ginyu Force vs. Shinigami

Izuru and Shuhei were using their flash step while tracking the intruders. They sensed their energy in the West Rukon District. Two aliens were standing in the middle of the road. Jeice and Burter were there.

Jeice, "Have any of you seen a Dragon Ball?"

A crowd of scared onlookers stood before them. They were shaking their heads no in fear. Jeice then held up an energy ball, and the crowd started stumbling backwards.

Jeice, "I am a member of the Ginyu Force! Answer my question!"
Just then, Izuru and Shuhei appeared.

Izuru, "Why don't you leave them alone? Look for the Dragon Balls by yourself."

Jeice and Burter turned around. The ball of energy disappeared in Jeice's hand.

Jeice, "And who might you be? And what's with those ridiculous costumes?"

Shuhei, "Look who's talking. How about you shut up and start fighting."

Burter, "You must be bold to speak to us like that. So, who vs. who?"

Izuru, "I'll take the red head."

Burter, "And that leaves me with the other."

Izuru and Shuhei began attacking Jeice and Burter. Izuru never thought his opponent would move so fast. Every time he swung his sword, Jeice would dodge it. Jeice then kicked Izuru and sent him flying into a house. As the dust cleared, Izuru watched as Jeice held up his hand.

Jeice, "Crusher Ball!"

A red energy ball engulfed Jeice's right hand. Right before his opponent threw the attack, the Soul Reaper got into a fighting stance. The alien threw his attack and hurled it at Izuru. The red energy collided with his sword. He could barely keep his footing from its power. The force from the energy ball kept on pushing him further and further back.

Izuru finally found enough strength to deflect the attack into the air. The ceiling crumbled into dust as the Crusher Ball slammed into it. A large explosion could be heard after the ball landed behind him.

Shuhei found he was being evenly matched as well. His opponent was incredibly fast. He barely had time to swing his sword by the time he saw Burter. He then felt a fist slam into his stomach. This was followed by a mixture of kicks and punches.

Burter, "Sorry, am I too fast for you? Don't be too upset if you get killed. After all, I am the fastest being ever created."

Shuhei found himself on the ground after another kick.

Shuhei, "Bakudo number 62, Hyapporankan."

A white rod of energy formed in Hisagi's left hand. As he got up he threw it at Burter.

Burter, "Only one rod, you must be joking."

The rod then split into several more. Burter stared at the rods, stunned at what just happened. The member of the Ginyu Force was now lying on the ground, pinned from the rods.

Shuhei, "The fastest being you say. Then how come you couldn't dodge that attack?"

Burter, "That wasn't fair. It was a cheap attack."

Shuhei was about to stab Burter in the heart when Jeice flew into him. He let go, and sent Shuhei flying into a wall. Jeice then helped Burter up. Shuhei soon got up and was joined by Izuru.

Izuru, "How you holding up?"

Shuhei, "Fine. These aliens are pretty tough."

Izuru, "That's for sure. We need to come up with a plan, and fast."

Shuhei, "Until then, let's finish this fight."

Jeice, "I'm getting sick of these Soul Reapers. Let's try the Purple Comet Hurricane."

Burter, "Sounds good to me Jeice."

Izuru and Shuhei noticed their energy sky rocket. Blue waves of energy engulfed Burter, while red waves of energy engulfed Jeice. The Ginyu Force members flew into the air and combined their power. The Soul Reapers began dodging several discs of energy. Just then, Izuru thought of a plan.

Izuru, "Hey, Shuhei."

Shuhei, "Yeah."

Izuru, "I'll use Hado number 58. Then, you attack from behind."

Shuhei, "Got it."

Izuru, "Hado number 58." The sword began spinning extremely fast. When the motion stopped Izuru held his sword. "Tenran!" After he said this, a small tornado came from the blade. The tornado was able to deflect the discs that came at Izuru. He looked over and saw Shuhei use his flash step and appeared behind Jeice and Burter.

Shuhei, "Reap, Kazeshini."

The Purple Comet Hurricane stopped and the Ginyu Force members turned around. They both saw Shuhei holding up two large scythes. He threw one of the blades which sank into Jeice's chest. Burter was able to dodge most of the attack and only had an injured shoulder.

Burter whispered, "I need to find one of those Dragon Balls. But right now, I need to get away."

He began to throw several energy blasts around his opponents to create a diversion. As he began flying through the village, he noticed a group of people circling around an object.

Burter stopped, "Get out of my way!", he said while holding up an energy ball.

The crowd dispersed as he gazed upon the five star ball. Burter picked it up and threw one more ball of energy, just to be safe. He then flew into the sky, and away from the village.

Izuru and Shuhei could now see through the cloud of smoke. Shuhei was about to go after Burter, when Izuru held him back.

Shuhei, "We need to find him."

Izuru, "And we will. However, he's too far away." He then looked down at Jeice who was still breathing. "I'm surprised you didn't kill him."

Shuhei, "I thought we could take him back for questioning. You know how Captain Kurotsuchi enjoys his company."

Izuru, "Good thinking." He then picked up Jeice and they headed back to the Seireitei.
