Nel came out from inside Lost Treasure's airship. She came and rescued Ichigo before Lonark could finish him off. Although she's a spirit slayer like Ichigo, are two going to be enough to counter act the power of Lonark's Chaos Magic.
"Nel, thanks for the save." Ichigo said. Nel looked at him with a smile.
"It was my pleasure. I'm glad to see you're not seriously harmed." Nel said. She then turned her look back to Lonark and grew serious. "So he's the one responsible for attacking my guild. I heard part of your conversation."
"Yeah. He happens to be the master of this guild. Taking him down is the only way to stop these guys." Ichigo said.
"So you were responsible for wrecking my ship." Lonark said as he thought back to the noise and the smoke he saw before Ichigo revealed himself.
"That's right. I wrecked it so you have no chance of escaping. Now that I'm here, you'll be lucky to walkaway alive." Nel threatened.
"Light and Night"
"Ichigo, let me take your place in this fight." Nel said.
"Not going to happen." Ichigo said. "Don't get the wrong idea. You have every right to beat this guy after what his guild did to yours, but he's too strong to fight alone. I think it might be better if we fight this guy together."
"You both can come at me and it won't change a thing." Lonark said.
"Nel, we have to get that key. It unlocks some kind of power that would not be good if he gets his hands on it." Ichigo said.
"What is this power? You owe me that much of an explanation since I'm from the guild you destroyed." Nel said.
"You can just forget it. He's not going to tell us anything." Ichigo said.
"Very well, ma'am. You deserve to know the truth." Lonark said.
"Are you kidding me?!" Ichigo said feeling a little inadequate.
"This key is known as the key of history for a reason." Lonark said. "The power I seek has the ability to alter history. With that power, the entire world's history can be mine to do with however I please."
"No way! How can that even be possible?" Ichigo said.
"How did you even learn of that kind of power in the first place?" Nel said.
"Nothing but from an anonymous source is what told me." Lonark said. "That source gave me the information and where I could find this key. All I had to do is dig it out."
"I may not know who told you that, but you will suffer from their mistake of attacking us in the first place." Nel said.
"Are you ready? His magic is claimed to be of light and dark together." Ichigo said. "So let's show him our power of light and night working together."
"That does sound nice. Let's do it, Ichigo." Nel said as two opposite elements decided to come together and fight as one. The two of them sprinted right at him. Ichigo tried to pound him, but Lonark stepped to the side. Nel jumped up and swung her leg at him. Lonark held up his arms to block the impact, but he was still pushed back.
"Night Spirit's Moon Fang!" Ichigo unleashed the fang attack and it struck down on Lonark. Nel gave herself another jump and was over to Lonark's right side.
"Light Spirit's Holy Arrows!" Nel shot out rays of pink light with arrowheads on the end and Lonark got blasted as they pelted against him.
"This is truly a spectacular fight. I never thought I get the chance to fight against those who can use the forces of light and dark like this." Lonark said.
"It seems he's enjoying this." Nel said.
"Let's see if he finds this enjoyable after we knock out a few teeth." Ichigo said.
"Chaos Silencer!" Lonark unleashed the tendrils again, but Nel was ready for them as she held out her hand.
"Light Spirit's Reflect!" Nel created a glass wall of pink light. The tendrils hit the wall and they were reflected right back at him.
"What?!" Lonark said as he was completely surprised and got hit by his own attack.
"That was awesome. How did you do that?" Ichigo said.
"It's one of my spells of Light Spirit Magic." Nel said. "It reflects the attack while converting my own energy into it and doubling the attack."
"Wow. I wish I had something like that." Ichigo said.
"I'm not holding anything back after what this monster did." Nel said.
"Unreal. I never thought it be hit by my own attack." Lonark said as he got back up and the effects of this battle with his body bruised and starting to get beaten.
"This guy still won't go down." Ichigo said. "If only we can get some extra power, but I can't feast on that Chaos Magic even when there's dark energy in it. I can feel it, but I can't get a bite into it."
"Have you really tried?" Nel said, but now that Ichigo has thought about it, he hasn't. "We have to end this. We need to combine our powers. I bet if we both howl, that should work."
"Good idea." Ichigo said.
"That won't work." Lonark said as he held up his hands and was powering up his Pandemonium spell again.
"Let's do it now, Nel! That spell he's about to use is a big one." Ichigo said.
"Okay." Nel agreed and both of them took a deep breath in.
"Night Spirit's Howl!"
"Light Spirit's Howl!"
"Pandemonium!" All three of them used their attacks and they ended up colliding. Pandemonium was powerful, but the two howl attacks were able to keep it back. The different kinds of magic were in a stalemate until the colliding powers exploded and all three of them were trying hard not to get blown away.
"I shall not fall." Lonark said when the wind settled. He just simply refused to give up the fight. "Ultimate magic power is within my grasp and I shall not let it go."
"Yes, you will." Nel said. She wasn't going to quit either until he pays for trashing her guild. "Light Spirit's Meteor Strike!" Nel was covered in a pink light and tackled Lonark before anyone could even blink.
'She's incredible.' Ichigo thought as he was amazed at how powerful Nel really was. 'I use to think those in Blue Pegasus were just pretty faces afraid to get dirty. Now, I see I was wrong.'
"I'll be taking this back since it was on Blue Pegasus' grounds." Nel said. She reached behind him and was able to take the Kleidi tis Istoria.
"No! Give that back." Lonark demanded.
"I don't think so." Nel said as she moved back from him.
"That's mine and mine alone." Lonark said as he reached to get it back.
"You heard the lady." Ichigo said as he pounded Lonark across the face. "Why are you so desperate to have that dumb key? Why do you want it so bad?"
"As I told you, it can alter the past." Lonark said as he pounded Ichigo. The two of them kept trading blows as they exchanged words. "You have the ability to gain back what you've lost. You can bring peace and order, acting like a god in situations. If I have that power, I can be a legend." Lonark gave Ichigo a fist to the face and separated the both of them.
"So you want to be a legend? If you ask me, you don't deserve that." Ichigo said.
"What the hell do you even know?" Lonark said. The two of them jumped up and collided their fists as both their magic powers was bursting out of both of them, being covered in black and blue.
"Ichigo, stay strong." Nel said. Both of them seemed to be even, but Lonark was starting to be pushed back.
"I'm being pushed back? How?" Lonark said.
"You think you need to change history to be a legend, but you don't deserve to call yourself a legend. Not after all the destruction you caused." Ichigo said as he pushed through and pounded Lonark. Ichigo grabbed his hand with Chaos Magic and held it close to his mouth.
"What are you doing?" Lonark said. Ichigo started to suck in and the magic was flowing into him.
"Nel was right, I should have given this a chance." Ichigo said. He was devouring the Chaos Magic, but it was affecting his body as pain was running through him.
"Let go!" Lonark shouted as he kicked Ichigo back and Lonark got free. Ichigo held his head in agony like he had a massive headache. "Idiot. Chaos Magic has light and dark elements in it. Slayers can't eat anything, but their own."
"That's what you think. My idol has done stuff like this countless times." Ichigo said. He fought through all the pain and gained control of the power as he was surrounded by black colored magic with streaks of blue in it.
"Impossible! His body was able to absorb it." Lonark said.
"As I was saying, it takes more than all of whatever you said." Ichigo said. He jumped in and started beating down on Lonark. "You need to have a reason for fighting. You need to think of others before yourself. It's not enough to have power. There's something you don't have that will never make you a legend." He gave Lonark a devastating blow right to the face. "You can't be a legend when you have no heart."
"Amazing. I've never seen anything like him before." Nel said for it was her turn to be amazed. Ichigo build up all of his power and took his stance.
"Spirit Slayer Secret Art! Black Moonless Chaos Night!" Ichigo used the Chaos Magic he devoured and used all of what he had in his attack. He swung his arms down like he did against Grimmjow, but the arch had blue streaks in it. It struck against Lonark and sliced right through the ground. Shockwaves traveled through the entire land and in the air. The dust was clearing and you could see where Ichigo's attack cut through and Lonark was on the ground. He as just a little conscious, but didn't had the strength to get back up.
'I've lost. Lost Treasure has been defeated. Fairy Tail might have defeated us, but I doubt that even they can handle the other two.' Lonark thought before he lost conscious.
"Ichigo, did it! He beat the master of Lost Treasure." Nel cheered. Ichigo was breathing hard since he burned through a lot of his power and was feeling lightheaded from eating that Chaos Magic.
"Ichigo!" Nel shouted and got him another tight embrace that was making it hard for him to breathe. "Thank you so much Ichigo."
"Sure. Sorry you didn't get to deal the finishing blow. I know you wanted to make him pay for your guild." Ichigo whispered, but that was probably a bad idea.
"I don't care about that. All I care that he was defeated and you did it." Nel said.
"Nel, I…." Ichigo couldn't speak anymore as he passed out from exhaustion and being unable to breathe. Nel pulled back to see what she did and passed out.
"Ichigo, don't die!" Nel cried as she held him tighter and making things worse.
…
Orihime: Isn't it a relief when all the fighting is over.
Ichigo: Sure.
Orihime: In the end, we all become friends.
Ichigo: Except the enemies and the best part is that a new adventure can begin.
Orihime: Yeah that sounds like fun, but enemies can become friends too.
Orihime/Ichigo: Next time: One Piece
Ichigo: You should hang out with Lucy more often. You two are more alike than you might think.
