"I was kind of hoping I run into you. We never finished our last duel." Susuke said as he held his sword upside down. "Carve, Kazebuza." Susuke was readying himself to face off against Uryu. His sword changed into a shape like a chainsaw as the chain was made out of spirit energy that buzzed around.

"So that's your zanpakutō?" Uryu said.

"Yes, and wait till you see what it can do." Susuke said.

"You might want to be careful how you go at this. You've sensed it, haven't you? Three of your comrades have already fallen." Uryu said. Susuke used the flash step and appeared behind him.

"You shall fall with them." Susuke said as he reared his sword back and attacked, but Uryu used hirenkyaku to avoid his attack and reappeared across from him. "You can use the flash step too?"

"It's not the flash step. It's known as hirenkyaku because I'm a quincy." Uryu said.

"A quincy? I guess that would explain why you're abilities are different from the soul reapers." Susuke said.

"Don't put me together with the soul reapers. I'm not really a big fan of them." Uryu said.

"Then why are you helping them?" Susuke said.

"All I know is that Masara has to be stopped and she will." Uryu said as he pulled back and fired an arrow, but Susuke blocked it.

"You're arrows aren't going to help you this time." Susuke said. He swung his sword and shot shards of spirit energy at Uryu. He jumped to the side and avoided them.

"What was that? He can shoot spirit energy from his weapon in shards?" Uryu said.

"That is the power of Kazebuza." Susuke said and launched more. Uryu jumped away and the two ran side by side. Uryu fired multiple arrows, but Susuke was able to shoot them all down with his energy shards. 'Is it me or are his arrows growing stronger.' He thought. Uryu used hirenkyaku again and appeared above Susuke.

"I've got you now." Uryu said as he launched more arrows, but Susuke used the flash step and managed to escape.

"I see now. We're in a spiritual place and that allows your attacks to grow stronger since you absorb the energy around us." Susuke said.

"Good answer. My abilities allow me to absorb reishi and the entire soul society is made of this stuff." Uryu said.

"Interesting, but Kazebuza also absorbs the energy around so I don't have to worry about running out." Susuke said.

"Then let's see which style is superior." Uryu said as he pulled out a seele schneider. He spun it around on the tip of his finger as it scraped the ground. Susuke went in for a close range attack, but Uryu ducked down. Susuke went back around, but Uryu used the seele schneider to block him.

"What an interesting weapon you hold. It takes the form of a sword, but I can feel the buzz around the edge." Susuke said.

"It's called a seele schneider." Uryu said as he jumped back and started to absorb reishi from the spots it cut, even from Susuke's zanpakutō. "It weakens the bonds of reishi for me to steal. What's more is that it can be used as an arrow." He placed it with his bow and Susuke tried to evade it as he moved from one spot to another. "You're not getting away." He fired it and it nearly hit Susuke, but it caused him to lose balance and hit the ground. "Now I've got you." He launched multiple arrows and they all circled around and came at Susuke from both sides.

"Nice try." Susuke said as he spun around and fired more shards and knocked some of the arrows down and moved out of the way.

"Impressive. You still can used so much power in your attacks even after your weapon grind against the seele schneider." Uryu said. "It's such a shame. If we weren't on opposite ends, we could have gotten along real well."

"Perhaps, but that's not the case." Susuke said. Uryu started jumping from roof to roof and Susuke went after him.

…..

Girusei

Girusei left the area he was at in ruins. He kept walking and didn't even seem bothered by the fact that Susuke was battling someone. He looked up ahead to see that Chad was just ahead of him.

"You're that boy from the other day." Girusei said.

"I've been looking for you." Chad said.

"This is as far as you go. I can't allow you to do this." Chad said as he pulled out his sword.

"You're going to try and stop me. You couldn't even keep up with me the last time we fought." Girusei said as he pulled out his own sword.

"That was before, and this is now." Chad said as he went and attacked, but Girusei was able to block him. "You won't get away with this. You and the others will be stopped."

"You weren't a match for us before and you aren't this time." Girusei said. He grabbed Chad's arm and tossed him into the wall. "Had enough?"

"Not even close." Chad said as the two started clashing their swords together. The two giants started to face against each other.

…

Uryu

Uryu stopped all of his jumping in an open field in the Seireitei and Susuke landed on the walls that surrounded the area.

"You managed to keep up." Uryu said.

"I'm not one to play cat and mouse. Let's just put an end to this." Susuke said as he launched more of his energy shards, but Uryu did a great jump and avoided him. Uryu fired his arrows, but Susuke ran along the wall to avoid them.

"Is that all you've got? Why don't you come down here and actually face me like a man." Uryu said.

"How dumb do you think I am?" Susuke said. He launched his shards into the ground and caused explosions. "Did you not think I wouldn't wonder why you lead me here? Since you lead me here of all places and made a jump like that, you must have set something under the ground and that would be mines." He jumped down and looked through the dust and smoke.

"Credits for figuring it out." Uryu said.

"Just come out. Where are you?" Susuke said. Then he saw five rays of light run against the ground and surround him as he couldn't move. "What is this?" The dust cloud circled around and saw he was in the center of a pentagram.

"This is known as Sprenger. I used the dust cloud to set it up." Uryu said. "With just a single drop, this fight will come to an end."

"Have you forgotten what my zanpakutō is capable of?" Susuke said. "It allows me to absorb spiritual energy, no matter how much." He struck it in the ground. The light from the pentagram was starting to fade. "All you did was give me more energy."

"Have I?" Uryu said. Susuke was wondering what he meant, but saw the spirit energy from his blade was shattering.

"What's happening?" Susuke said. He pulled up and saw a seele schneider was under the ground and it was injected into it. He looked further down and saw his ankles were wrapped in wires connected to two more that formed the pentagram. "Where did this come from?"

"I've set this whole thing up." Uryu said.

"What are you talking about?" Susuke said.

"I knew you would figure I've set mines and how to break the Sprenger." Uryu said. "When I was setting it up, I placed some wires that wrapped around you with the flow of reishi and you fell right into my trap."

"But how could you have knew this was going to happen just like this?" Susuke said.

"I didn't." Uryu said. "The only thing I needed to know for this to work was your zanpakutō's capabilities."

"It's capabilities?" Susuke said.

"Yes. You didn't use it when we last fought and you haven't revealed it to anyone." Uryu said as he adjusted his glasses. "When you told me that it absorbs spirit energy around you, I made a few adjustments. I didn't come looking for you because I wanted to settle things. I knew you were the brains of the group and the only one who could deal with you is a genius such as myself."

'I don't believe it!' Susuke thought. 'I was always at the top of my class, but I've never met anyone like him. He attacked me to get my attention. He lead me hear and knew I figure out there would be mines and used the dust cloud as a cover to set this trap. Finally, he placed in this seele schneider and these wires to keep me in place. He was one step ahead of me the entire time. Amazing, he outsmarted me!'

"I'm sorry about this." Uryu said as he pulled back another arrow. "This is where it ends for you." He fired it and it struck Susuke in the chest as he was sent flying back. "My condolences."

…

Chad

Chad and Girusei continued to fight each other. Girusei continued to clash his sword with Chad's as Chad was being pushed back. Chad blocked one more of his attacks, but tossed him back.

"It's time I put an end to this. Fight wildly, Yasei Senshi!" Chad said as his sword changed into a mace.

"I see, let's begin. Crunch, Jishinkiba. (earthquake fang)" Girusei said. His sword changed into a staff with a C shape blade on the top that held three black balls on top of each other on the bottom. Chad tried to swing down his mace, but Girusei blocked it with the top of his staff.

"How did he…" Chad didn't finish as Girusei used all of his strength and tossed Chad over him.

"I hope that isn't all you can do." Girusei said as Chad pulled himself up. "It seems you have much to learn about zanpakutō."

"What do you mean?" Chad said.

"They are divided in many ways. There are those made for combat, which seems to be yours." Girusei said. "There are those that are used for kidō. Also, there are the ones divided by the elements. We have fire, water, wind, light, lightning, plant, ice, and mine earth." He slammed his staff down and rock spikes rose from the ground.
