Ichigo finally arrived and came to save Orihime and Lucy. He just burst right in and knocked Grimmjow away with magic power flowing through him. Grimmjow was excited for this fight. This might be the concluding battle between the Fairies and the Panthers.

"I was hoping you would show up." Grimmjow said.

"Ichigo." Orihime said as she and Lucy were glad to see him. Ichigo turned to look at her. Orihime saw he had a serious and killer look in his eyes and Ichigo saw she was covered in injuries.

"Orihime, did Grimmjow do that to you?" Ichigo said.

"Maybe I did." Grimmjow answered for her. Ichigo turned back to him to give him that look.

"Then, you better get ready to die." Ichigo threatened.

"Ichigo vs. Grimmjow"

"Bring it on." Grimmjow said. "I was hoping we get to settle the score between us. We didn't get to finish our last fight, but this time, they'll be no pulling out. I'm about to blow you away." Ichigo didn't bother with a response. He build up power and slammed his hand against the ground.

"Night Spirit's Piercing Heaven!" Ichigo shot the blast, but it didn't go to Grimmjow. It moved right past him and blasted D-Roy and the control console with D-Roy getting knocked out. "That should stop the giant."

…

Outside

Everyone saw the giant stopped moving and that was a good sign since some of them were injured and became exhausted from fighting it.

"Ichigo and the others did it!" Nagato cheered.

"What a bother." All of them looked and saw Levy and Gajeel returned to the guild.

"Levy and Gajeel?" Gray questioned as to why they were here.

"Lucy sent us a message and explained everything." Levy said.

"I was hoping for some action, but we got here too late." Gajeel said. "Oh well, at least I got one heck of a meal." Gajeel ran right for the giant and got to eating with him being an Iron Dragon Slayer.

…

Ichigo

"So you decided to stop the giant instead of starting with fighting me." Grimmjow said as began to loosen his muscles.

"That's what I originally came in here for." Ichigo said. "Now, you've got my undivided attention. Orihime, Lucy, you better stay back. Things are about to get ugly."

"Just be careful." Lucy said as she tried to help Orihime stay up. Both of them were powering up for this fight with a red aura around Ichigo and a blue aura around Grimmjow.

"Let's go, Grimmjow. Since your magic is all blue, I'm going to make your body black and blue." Ichigo said.

"Bold words. Bring it." Grimmjow dared. Ichigo was the first to attack as he gave him a right hook across the face. Then, he flipped and kicked him against the head. Grimmjow fought back as he tried to kick him, but Ichigo moved back.

"I'll admit he has skill, but I won't be beaten." Ichigo said.

"Don't kid yourself. You can't beat me." Grimmjow said and went to attack. He swung his legs around, but Ichigo was able to avoid them. "What's the matter? Are you scared?" Grimmjow gave it another spin, but Ichigo jumped back. "You're not getting away." Grimmjow held out his hand. "Gale Spirit's Claw: Stickers!" He shot out five small blue spike-like projectiles, but Ichigo jumped to the side.

"You missed." Ichigo said.

"Did I?" Grimmjow said. The spikes changed direction and Ichigo spotted that.

"They can change direction?" Ichigo said for he wasn't expecting that and he couldn't react to them in time. They hit him in the back and tossed Ichigo into the wall.

"Ichigo!" Orihime called out.

"That looked like it hurt." Grimmjow mocked. "You can run all you want, but that attack will always hit its target." Ichigo took a hard hit, but he wasn't down and out of this fight already. "You still want some more?"

"If that's all you got, I'm wasting time." Ichigo said. as he tried to act tough, but he did take a hard hit.

"Careful what you say. You know that it will just come back to bite you." Grimmjow warned him, implying he was going to beat him down.

"Oh yeah? Let's go you overgrown cat-man. You or your magic doesn't scare me." Ichigo said.

"Gale Spirit's Roaring Slash!" Grimmjow thrusted the wind from his hand and hit Ichigo right in the chest to try and push him deeper into the wall.

"That's brutal." Lucy said.

"Please be okay." Orihime begged.

"Not so cocky anymore? Don't tell me I already took him down." Grimmjow said.

"You haven't!" Ichigo shot through the dust and rammed right into Grimmjow. He decked Grimmjow a few times before he grabbed him by the collar and arm and tossed him up to the ceiling. "Night Spirit's Lunar Reap!" He shot out the crescent shaped blasts and blasted Grimmjow. Grimmjow fell through and down the smoke from the attack, but he ended up landing on his feet.

"Not bad." Grimmjow said.

"You aren't so bad either." Ichigo said. Grimmjow kept the fighting going as he jumped forward and pounded Ichigo across the face. This was getting hard for the girls to watch.

"That's it. I won't stand by and watch this anymore." Lucy said as she reached for her keys.

"Stay out of this." Ichigo said. "This is between me and him. Besides, I don't want you two to get hurt any more than you already are." That was half the case, but other case was that this felt like a matter of pride to Ichigo. Neither of them knew why, maybe they were trying to prove who was stronger or an act of dominance to see who was the better spirit slayer, but neither of them wanted to lose to the other.

"That's what I like to hear. I'm going to beat you to a pulp just like I did to the other two." Grimmjow said.

"Other two? What other two?" Ichigo questioned, but he already knew he was going to hate the answer.

"That little girl that makes ice and a guy with blonde hair and a ponytail. They were both part of your guild." Grimmjow said.

"You mean Rukia and Suegaps? You hurt them too?" Ichigo said. That was added to the list of the reasons he needs to beat Grimmjow.

"I did and you're next on my list." Grimmjow said. He jumped forward and drove his knee in Ichigo's stomach. Grimmjow was chuckling and it turned into laughing with him rapidly punching Ichigo and for a finishing touch, he gave Ichigo a strong uppercut under his jaw.

"You bastard!" Ichigo shouted as he was rearing his head back himself. Grimmjow saw where his next attack was coming as he pulled his head back and the two of them banged their heads together. The two of them kept clubbing at each other and it was getting harder for the girls to watch.

"Both of them are going so hard. I've never seen something so aggressive." Orihime said.

"I know." Lucy said. "They both are spirit slayers and I guess they're power was made to shatter someone's fighting spirit. This is the first time I've ever seen two spirit slayers go at each other like this. It's just like when a couple dragon slayers go at each other and trust me Orihime when I tell you that it doesn't go well for both sides." Ichigo punched Grimmjow across the face and Grimmjow returned the favor. Both of them hit the other in the face with their left fists, then the left, and finally both of them had their legs clash against each other.

"I see what you're talking about. I don't think I've ever been this nervous." Orihime said for she was scared of the outcome. Ichigo and Grimmjow tried to push back, but they both ended up jumping back. Both of them used up some magic power and physical strength with both of them panting a little.

"You getting tired?" Grimmjow said.

"Not even close." Ichigo said as he could feel his adrenaline pumping. "This is pretty intense. I've never fought anyone with the same kind of magic as me. As weird as it is, I'm actually enjoying it."

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself because this is the last fight you're ever going to have." Grimmjow said.

"Let's see if you can back up all that talk." Ichigo said. He took a deep breath in. Grimmjow knew what he was doing so he did the same. Lucy could also tell what they were about to do.

"Uh oh! Orihime, we better take some cover." Lucy said.

"Night Spirit's…."

"Gale Spirit's…."

"HOWL!" Both of them unleashed their breath attack and they collided against each other with so much magic power canceling each other. It was practically blowing everything else away.

"This is insane!" Orihime said.

"Why are we even still here?" Lucy questioned their choices.

….

Uryu and Chad

Both of them won their battles and were able to regroup. They weren't aware what was happening, but they could feel the magic power that was happening around them.

"Do you feel that?" Chad asked.

"Yes." Uryu said. "There's no doubt in my mind that this has to be Ichigo's doing. I sure hope he knows what he's doing."

…..

Outside

So much magic power was happening inside. The built up became too much and the top of the head exploded and created an opening in it and everyone saw it. Even interrupted Gajeel while he was in the middle of eating.

"The top of the head just blew off!" Lilly said.

"That's got to be Ichigo's doing." Renji said.

"Ichigo, you better be careful in there." Erza said.

…

Ichigo

The explosion caused so much dust to fly around and Ichigo noticed the giant hole they made in the ceiling and saw clear sky. The only thing Ichigo didn't see was Grimmjow himself.

"What? He disappeared." Ichigo said as he looked around for him.

"Where'd he go?" Orihime said. She and Lucy were able to get out of that explosion unharmed, but they didn't see Grimmjow anywhere.

"I'm up here." Ichigo looked up and saw Grimmjow over the hole they made as he stood on the edge. Grimmjow took a deep breath in and they could see all the air flowing into his mouth.

"What's he doing?" Orihime said, but Lucy and Ichigo knew full well what he was doing.

"Of course. He's known as the Gale Spirit Slayer. That means he can feed on air." Lucy said.

"He's replenishing his power." Ichigo said and Grimmjow ceased his feeding.

"You got that right." Grimmjow said. "With fresh air like this, I have an infinite supply to keep me going."

"Can't Ichigo do the same?" Orihime said.

"That would be great, but he needs to be in a dark area like in a shadow or has to be night." Lucy said.

"Too bad for you, Ichigo." Grimmjow mocked. "I've got an infinite supply air to rebuild my energy and you've got nothing."

"I'll still beat you." Ichigo claimed. The two spirit slayers continued to clash against each other, but Grimmjow can replenish his energy whenever and Ichigo can't. How is he suppose to beat him?

…..

Orihime: It must be amazing to be part of the strongest team. I heard that Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Erza was years ago.

Ichigo: Sure was. I'm not sure Fairy Tail could have won all the great battles they've been in if it weren't for them.

Orihime: Imagine what it must have been like if we were the strongest team.

Ichigo: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Ichigo: Next Time: Strong to Stronger

Orihime: Come on, Ichigo. It might be great if things stay the same, but sometimes change happens.
