I own nothing except my OC and my ideas.

**"Talking"**

**Thinking**

**"Zanpakuto/Hollow Talking"**

**Zanpakuto/Hollow Thinking"**

Arthur had almost no time before the Captain was on top of him. Kenpachi swung down and sent the teen into one of the walls nearby; causing some of it to cave in. Kenpachi put his blade on his shoulder and frowned at the pile of rubble, "Come on kid, I know you can give me more of a fight then this." As he finished that sentence, the rubble began to shift and rise as Arthur stood up; a smile on his face. His body was covered by a very thin line of white light, and seemed to be unharmed. "Trust me, I'm just warming up, and besides," he craned his neck until and audible crack was heard, "I finally got that annoying crick in my neck."

A maniacal smile found its way back onto the Captain's face, "That's what I like to hear." He charged Arthur again, but this time, he was ready. He caught the blade in his hands threw Kenpachi over his shoulder; sending him through the wall.

Both combatants seemed to become completely oblivious to the others that were present in the hall. All the Lieutenants starred wide-eyed at the demonstration of power and speed that their friend just performed. Isane looked over to the Head Captain, "Should we follow them sir?" No sooner had the last word left her mouth had a large screen appeared from what seemed like thin air. "That is not necessary Lieutenant. We had Captain Kurotsuchi create this screen to monitor the battle from here," stated Captain Kuchiki.

**Back with Arthur and Kenpachi**

Arthur dodged a swing that was aimed at his neck and drove his fist into Kenpachi's stomach, hard. The Captain was pushed back a few feet from the force of the punch, but was otherwise unaffected. Arthur shook his hand to get some feeling back into his fingers. All around the two opponents were piles of rock and rubble. A few were either brave, or stupid, enough to stay and watch the fight. To say that they were shocked would be an understatement. Here was someone who had been there for a little over two years, standing toe-to-toe with one of the most powerful Shinigami in the Seireitei. Arthur was brought back down to Earth when he heard Kenpachi start to laugh. "Come on and draw your sword kid. You won't be able to do much damage to me without it."

He didn't show it, but Arthur knew he was right. His punches had only forced the smiling Captain back and not much else. However, instead of doing so, he only smirked and replied, "Last I checked, you haven't drawn a drop of blood from me yet." Kenpachi's smirk only grew when he heard this. "Well then, I guess I'll have to step it up, won't I."

Faster than Arthur could follow, Kenpachi appeared before him and slashed him across his chest. A moment passed as Arthur's body registered what had happened. After, blood shot out of his body; causing Arthur to let out a pained filled scream. Kenpachi then batted him aside and into a wall. He cut through my armor like it wasn't even there. I guess it is time to get serious. Arthur stood up shakily; the blood stained now falling to the ground in shreds and revealing his well-toned body. A few of the females watching the fight blushed at the sight of it. Looking at Kenpachi, Arthur drew his zanpakuto, "You want me to turn it up? Then let's go."

His reiatsu exploded and forced many watching to their knees. He then shocked everyone when he Shunpo-ed in front of the still smirking Captain and proceeded to cut into his left arm. Arthur then tried to strike at Kenpachi's waist, but was surprised to find it blocked by his hand. Arthur then felt a massive amount of reiatsu flood out of Kenpachi. He looked up to see the Captain with a psychotic smile on his face. "Not bad kid, you actually managed to cut me." He then proceeded to release more reiatsu; making Arthur's legs shake. "I'm gonna go all out on you now. Think of it as an award for wounding me. You're strong, but," He ripped off his eye-patch; adding even more reiatsu, "YOU'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH!" He then punched Arthur in his stomach with unbelievable force; causing Arthur to cough up blood. As Kenpachi went to strike again, Arthur Shunpo-ed away and completely erased his presence.

"Not bad kid, but I'll find you."

Arthur sat down with his back against a wall and tried to recompose himself. Get a hold of yourself. He may be strong, okay a monster, but even a monster can be beaten.

**In the Meeting Hall**

Those watching in the halls were in complete awe. They didn't expect Arthur to wound Kenpachi, let alone get him to remove his eye-patch. A few of the Lieutenants had theirs jaws dropped to the floor. Isane averted her eyes whenever she saw Arthur get hurt; which didn't escape the eyes of her Captain, who just smiled kindly, or the gazes of her fellow Lieutenants. A few of the females blushed quite hard when the top half of his robes fell off. By the time Arthur had hidden himself from the crazed Captain, most were definitely impressed.

Isane gasped as Arthur pulled his arm away from his chest. His arm was covered with scarlet as more blood kept coming from the wound. Isane started to whisper to herself, "Please make it out okay. Please make it out okay."

**Back at the Fight**

Arthur panted as he tried to stop the bleeding. Not good. I either need to win this soon or give up if I'm gonna make it out of this in one piece, and I'm sure as hell ain't giving up! He heard a crash as Kenpachi destroyed another wall. "Come out and fight me!"

He looked around the corner in time to see some debris about to crash on top of a girl. Dammit! He Shunpo-ed towards her and got her out of the way. "Are you okay?" All he got in return was a shocked nod. She was short and had short, black hair with navy blue eyes. "Alright then…" he waited for her to give a response. "O-oh, Rukia. Rukia Kuchiki." Arthur nodded and continued, "Rukia, get out of here and warn everyone else to keep a very safe distance from Captain Zakarai and I." She nodded and got up to run.

"There you are!" But not before she was blasted away by Kenpachi's attack. Arthur was able to dodge, but when he tried to stand up, his chest screamed in protest and he was forced to his knees from the pain. "Careful Kenpachi, you're gonna hurt bystanders." Kenpachi gave a shrug and looked over to Rukia as she got back up, shaking and wincing. "It's not my fault they're weak." He sent her through another wall and scoffed at the scream of pain he heard. "Rukia! Kenpachi stop it!" Arthur tried to stand up, but stopped at the pain that went through his body.

Kenpachi's smirk returned to his face, "Or what? You can't even stand up, let alone make me stop." He started to Rukia once again. Arthur closed his eyes and tried with all he had to stand up. Please, give me the strength.

**Mindscape**

When he opened his eyes, Arthur found himself in the beautiful utopia that seemed to be in his mind with the angel standing before him. "Why are you trying so hard to help one that you do not even know?" The voice was one filled with wisdom and curiosity. "She isn't involved in this. I can't let her get hurt because of me." A small smile graced the angel's lips, "Tell me then, would you give your life to protect her and others in her situation?" Arthur didn't even hesitate with his answer, "Of course."

"Why?"

"Because it's what's right."

The angel nodded with a full smile now on his face. "Then please, allow me to assist you." He chuckled at the look of confusion on Arthur's face. "All you need do is speak my name." Arthur's eyes widened before smirking as he rose from the ground. "Let's go."

**Reality**

Reiatsu flooded the area and caused Kenpachi to stagger. He turned to see Arthur standing up; his wound seeming to give him no trouble. "You ready to get serious kid?" Instead of answering, Arthur lifted his zanpakuto with the blade to the sky and shouted with a deafening boom, "Protect the Innocent, Prodyous!" As soon as the last word left his mouth, the whole area was blanketed in white.

And there we go.

Chapter 7 done.
