Ichigo has been able to find Lost Treasure's airship. All the members except Lonark has been defeated. Now, it's all up to Ichigo to keep Lonark from leaving.
"It is amazing that your guild has come this far, but I must uphold my responsibilities as master and you shall take all the punishment for your guild's interference." Lonark said.
"Are you just going to keep bragging or are we actually going to fight?" Ichigo said.
"You should learn to watch what you say." Lonark said. He held up his hand and the same attack he used on Ichigo before powered up at the ground Ichigo was standing on and detonated. The time has come for the final battle between these guilds.
"Chaos"
Lonark thought he had Ichigo that time, but he saw Ichigo fly straight up and out of the cloud and was heading his way.
"Did you really think I fall for the same trick twice?" Ichigo said. Ichigo came down from above and he tried to pound Lonark with his magic, but Lonark held up his arm and blocked it with Ichigo's. He grabbed Ichigo's wrist and tossed him back to the ground.
'Interesting. His attack was stronger than from our previous encounter.' Lonark thought. 'Is it possible that defeat just made him stronger?' He decided to get a closer look and jumped off the airship and on the ground. 'I'll have to push him to his limits to see how strong he truly is.'
"Night Spirit's Moon Fang!" Ichigo unleashed his fang attack, but Lonark avoided it and was heading straight for Ichigo.
"You'll have to move faster than that." Lonark said. He thrusted his hand into Ichigo's chest and pushed him back.
"He's strong. It's no wonder he's the master of this group of scumbags." Ichigo said. "Still, his magic is strange. I can't figure out what it is."
"Try to get out of this." Lonark said as he held out his hand like he was holding something in his palm. It light up and white and blue orbs surrounded Ichigo. "Chaotic Disruption!" He squeezed his hand and all of them started to detonate. Ichigo tried his best to avoid them, but he was still blown back by the power.
"What's going on? What kind of magic is this?" Ichigo said.
"I suppose I can at least explain the origin of my magic." Lonark said. "My magic is the very form of the forces of light and darkness in harmony. When the two forces combine, all that brings is chaos. This magic is known as Chaos Magic."
"Chaos Magic?" Ichigo said.
"It's one of the many forms of Lost Magic." Lonark said. "I control the very power that is made when light and darkness are together. No, I take that back. I am that very power."
"Can such power actually exist?" Ichigo said.
"You're witnessing it, aren't you?" Lonark said. "You haven't seen what this magic is truly capable of."
…
Rukia and Orihime
Rukia was helping Orihime move through the forest. After their battle with Merinda, Orihime used up a lot of her power. The two of them thought it might be better to try and find the others since both of them had gone through some strength.
"Are you holding up okay?" Rukia asked.
"Yeah. I'm sorry if I'm slowing you down." Orihime said.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. Let's just try and find the others." Rukia said. Both of them kept trying to move, but something jumped down in front of them. They were scared because they thought it was another enemy, but that passed in seconds when they saw it was only Uryu.
"I'm glad to see you two are safe." Uryu said.
"Uryu. We're glad to see you." Rukia said.
"You two aren't hurt, are you?" Uryu said.
"No. We're both just a little worn out. We ran into some trouble with Lost Treasure, but we were able to take care of her." Rukia said.
"I was victorious in my battle as well." Uryu said. "I also ran into a few members of Blue Pegasus. They've taken care of the underlings and they found Chad and Renji." It was true. Shinji and Hachi found Renji and Chad and were treating their injuries.
"What about Ichigo?" Orihime asked.
"I'm not sure. No one has heard from him." Uryu said. "However, Nelliel is still out here. She'll probably find him. As for Lost Treasure, the only one left should be the master."
"Knowing Ichigo, he's probably facing him right now. I just hope he knows what he's doing." Rukia said. Orihime was still concerned.
"Ichigo, please be careful." Orihime whispered.
…
Ichigo
Ichigo swung his leg with it covered in his magic, but Lonark held up one arm and blocked it. Lonark grabbed Ichigo's leg and tossed him behind himself.
"Night Spirit's Piercing Heaven!" Ichigo placed his hand against the ground and the energy flow through the ground and heading for Lonark, but he jumped out of the way. "Damn it. Nothing I've tried has even worked."
"Admitting defeat? Don't be so hard on yourself. You fought the good fight, but you never stood a chance to begin with." Lonark said. "It's too bad you're a Night Spirit Slayer. I know you grow stronger by eating darkness, but you can't do that with my magic."
'That's right. He said his magic carries traces of darkness in it, but since half of it is also light, I'm not sure if I'm able to eat it.' Ichigo thought.
"As entertaining as this is, I have work I have to get back to." Lonark said. He held his hands horizontally and formed a spiraling blue and white orb between them. Ichigo could tell this was going to be a big one and he was running low on power, but he saw something that might be able to help him. He ran to his left and headed for the side of the airship. "I ask thee to destroy all holy and all blacken to bring disorder. Pandemonium!" Lonark unleashed a devastating spiral blast and it was heading straight for Ichigo. It caused a massive explosion that was heard around.
…
The Others
Uryu and the girls heard that explosion and could see a small trace of smoke from it in the sky.
"What could have caused that explosion?" Orihime said.
"That has to be where Ichigo is." Uryu said.
"That's got to be it. I wish we could help him, but we used up a decent amount of magic power." Rukia said. "All we can do is hope he makes it out of there alive."
…
Ichigo
Lonark caused some serious damage, but was starting to regret it thinking he might have damaged his airship.
"That might have been overkilled." Lonark said. "The ship better not be damaged. I can't reach my destination without it if anyone else tries to get in my way."
"Is that so?" Lonark wasn't expecting to hear that voice. He waited for the dust and smoke to clear out of the way and saw Ichigo was still standing and he was eating up the shadows of the airship.
"So that's where he was running off to." Lonark said.
"That meal was a big help." Ichigo said as he stepped back in the fight. "Since I'm back to full power, you're going down." He charged right for Lonark and hit him right in the gut and knocked the air right out of Lonark's lungs. He grabbed Lonark and turned him around to have the Kleidi tis Istorias face him. "Since this is so important to you, I guess all I have to do is break it to pieces."
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Lonark warned.
"I'm not falling for your tricks." Ichigo said. He pulled back his fist and slammed it against the key, but it backfired on Ichigo. "YEOW!" Ichigo pulled back with his hand in pain and did what he could to soothe the pain. "What the hell? What is that thing made of?"
"A substance that's stronger than Titania's adamantine armor and that armor can stop a Jupiter cannon." Lonark said. "I actually did try to warn you. Hundreds of years ago, the creator of this key kept it safe for the hope that the power it would unlock is used for good. However, others feared that with power as great as that, it would be used for evil as well."
"So why didn't they just use a material that would be easy to break?" Ichigo said.
"This metalloid is the only thing that can withstand that power during the sealing or unsealing." Lonark said. "Didn't you think it was strange it was buried rather than destroyed?"
"I never did understood why people never just destroyed keys to unlock something or destroy that thing themselves if it could be used for evil." Ichigo said.
"They do it in the hopes that items or power could be used to benefit humanity or use what is necessary again to seal it all away." Lonark said. "Take this key for example. It might be the only thing to seal that power away again. That's why it's made of a material that can't be destroyed."
"What power? What are you after?" Ichigo said.
"I'm not going to keep repeating myself, but that's why it was buried in the ground. People hid it away in hopes that this power would never be used for evil, but that was long before the Blue Pegasus guild was founded. It was just dumb luck they were here." Lonark said.
"So that's why Harribel didn't know a thing about it." Ichigo said. "I don't know what power you're after, but there's no way I'm going to let a guy like you have it."
"You've been around for long enough. When I'm done, they'll be nothing left of you."
"So far, you're nothing, but talk." Ichigo said. "Night Spirit's Dark Cross!" Ichigo tossed the cross, but Lonark jumped over it. "Going somewhere? Night Spirit's Howl!" Ichigo unleashed his breath attack and hit Lonark dead on, but Lonark flew right the smoke and was heading straight for Ichigo. Ichigo jumped back before Lonark crashed into the ground.
"Chaos Silencer!" Lonark unleashed tendrils of blue and white energy to try and pierce Ichigo, but Ichigo was agile enough to avoid them. "You can't keep running. Eventually I'll catch you."
"Are you so sure about that?" Ichigo said.
"What do you call this?" Lonark said. The tendrils were able to bend and twist as they wrapped around Ichigo.
"Oh man." Ichigo said. He tried to break free, but he could barely move at all.
"Let's see if you try and avoid me now." Lonark said. He powered up another blast of Chaos Magic with his other hand and fired it. Ichigo tried his best to move out of the way, but he was trapped. That was until Lonark saw someone jump off his ship and went down near Ichigo, but he didn't get the chance to see who it was as his attack hit and made another dust cloud. "Who was that?" He waited for the dust to settle to see who it was. The wind carried it all away and he saw Ichigo's savior as Ichigo as free and the person who saved him held him close.
"Nel!" Ichigo said. The Light Spirit Slayer has joined in. Blue Pegasus is now taking part in the fight. The chance for them to have revenge has come.
…
Orihime: They say opposites attract, but at the same time they fight.
Ichigo: Yeah. It's just a complex relationship, but it doesn't apply all the time to everyone.
Orihime: Really? What do you mean?
Ichigo: Take people for instance. Some of them are always fighting just because they hate each other. Yet, there are some of those that fight, but end up becoming great friends. Of course that doesn't apply to anyone.
Orihime: Does that apply to you with Renji, Uryu, or Rukia since you guys always seem to be fighting?
Ichigo: Next time: Light and Night
Ichigo: Well….can we just move on to the next part of the story already?
