So far, seven members of Ten Rave remain. That might be good, but Ichigo and all the others have yet to find the cave that Ten Rave has been using as a hideout. To make matters worse, Ten Rave draws closer and closer to bringing out the D.E.C. At this very moment, Rose and Izuru stand against Void, the wizard that specializes with Nullification Magic.
"This shouldn't be too hard. How dangerous can Nullification Magic be?" Izuru said.
"Don't let what magic he uses fool you. He's still a member of Ten Rave." Rose said.
"You would be wise to heed that warning." Void said.
"Perhaps, but how about you come out of that tree." Izuru said and started to emit magic power. Void felt his weight increase and the branch broke and he crashed into the ground.
"Gravity and Flower Power"
Rose and Izuru waited for Void to come out of that crash. That's just what happened as Void walked out like nothing even happened.
"So you use Gravity Magic." Void said. "Trying to break my movements by increasing my own weight won't do a thing if I can just nullify it.
"Let's see how you handle this. Gardena Thicker!" Rose held out both of his arms. Vines grew out of the ground and tried to wrap around Void and prick him.
"It's futile." Void said. All he did was wave his hand and the vines just disappeared. "Attacking me with magic is practically useless. Why attack me with something that is guaranteed to fail?"
"We'll see about that." Izuru said. He held out his hand to change the gravity around Void again. Void can feel the weight around him changing.
"Childish." Void said. He held up his hand and created some sort of shield that blocked the gravity around him.
"What the…? How is he doing that?" Izuru said.
"That form of magic is called Wave. It allows the caster to create vibrations that practically repel magic." Rose said.
"In that case, I'll just change it around." Izuru said. He changed the field of gravity around and Void was being pushed to the side by it.
"Change it all you want. It's pointless." Void said. He expanded the wave and bend it to the side so he would be unaffected by the gravity. "Sadly, I can only use Wave around one area at a time. Luckily, I have a lot more at my disposal." He held out his spare hand and shot a blast of different Nullification Magic and blasted Izuru and he got hit hard.
"Izuru, are you alright?" Rose said as Izuru dropped down to one knee.
"I never knew Nullification Magic could be used like that. I feel like I got hit by ball made of lead." Izuru said.
"Any form of magic can be dangerous in the right hands." Void said.
"Such as this." Rose said as he held out his hand. He had giant yellow flowers grow out of the ground. "Careful. These flowers shine a light so bright that they'll burn your skin." All of the flowers shined a light, but Void held out his hand and all of them disappeared.
"You just don't seem to get it. I can nullify any form of magic." Void said. "There is no way you can beat me so you might as well give up the fight."
"Magic can be powerful, but any form of magic has a weakness. You are no exception." Rose said.
"That's right." Izuru said as he used his Gravity Magic and floated the rocks around him. He shot them all at him. Void acted quickly as he flipped backwards and was able to avoid them. "You might be able to nullify all forms of magic, but not objects that aren't made from magic."
"Perhaps, but if all you can do is throw rocks at me, you're doomed to win this fight." Void said.
"Don't be so confident." Rose said. Vines grew out from right under Void and constricted him.
"Moron. I can nullify anything you throw at me. It doesn't matter how I do it." Void said. He focused his waves to his feet and slice through the vines.
"This is becoming a drag. Unless we can figure out how to stop him, this fight is just going to keep dragging on." Izuru complained.
"You don't need to worry about that." Void said as he held out one of his hands and shot out wave blasts at rapid fire, but Rose and Izuru were able to avoid all of the attacks. "Try and avoid this. Cancelation Decimation!" A magic circle appeared under Izuru and Rose in a purple light.
"What kind of spell is this?" Izuru said.
"Don't try to use magic. As long as you're in it, nothing will work." Void said. "Of course, you won't be in it for long." He snapped his fingers and a series of explosions went off in that area. He waited for the smoke to clear and both of them were down. "Taking away the ability to use magic is the same as taking away a bird's wings and makes them defenseless and weak beings."
"Don't act like you've won." Izuru said as he tried to get back on his feet. "Rose, are you alright?" Both of them turned to him, but he wasn't even moving.
"Has he already kicked the bucket? That was easier than I thought." Void said, but was gave a sudden surprise. He jumped right up and flipped backwards and stuck the landing.
"Forgive me. I always like to be artistic." Rose said.
"You look like an idiot in my opinion. A fight is no reason to get artsy." Void said.
"There is never a reason not to be. Now, let's continue with this battle." Rose said.
"Why do you persist? Even as we speak, the D.E.C. is being in the process of being released." Void said. "There's also the fact that my magic cancels out everything you throw at me. You're only dragging this out and making it worse for yourself. As far as I see it, you've lost before the battle even begun."
"Do you ever shut up?" Izuru said. "You keep bragging about your skill and thinking you already won this fight when we're still able to win."
"That's because I already have. The only thing left for me to do is shut you up." Void said.
"Then let us stop all this talking and end it." Rose said. He had vines grow out of the ground and commanded them to attack. Void formed another wave shield and blocked all of them. What Void failed to notice that a tree was bending behind him by Rose's magic. It reached out for him, but Void saw the shadow overlapping him.
"Pathetic." Void waved a spare arm behind him and stopped the magic from flowing through the tree.
"Now I have you." Rose said. He surprised Void by attacking him directly. Rose's leg passed through his shield and kicked him in the head and knocked Void off his feet. Izuru used his Gravity Magic and lifted himself into the air.
"Just as I said earlier. You can't stop attacks that aren't magic related." Izuru said and stopped using his magic to have him drop on top of Void.
"Damn it." Void said as he rolled out of the way. Rose used his magic and catch Izuru. Void was furious that those two found a way to get pass his magic. "I will kill those blonde idiots."
"He's being stubborn again." Izuru complained.
"Such a non-artistic manner." Rose said.
"Enough of this. Will you two just hurry up and die already?" Void said.
"Let's see if you can handle both of us at the same time." Izuru said. Izuru altered gravity to attack Void head on and Rose unleashed more of his vines.
"There's no way this is going to work." Void said as he formed a wave barrier around himself and blocked both of the attacks. "This is a nuisance." He was about to cancel out them as well, but plants grew out from under him and wrapped around him.
"You got carried away and didn't protect yourself from the bottom." Rose said.
"So what?" Void said as he fixed his mistake and used his waves to cut himself free. He took the vines off, but they had thorns and cut himself. "Now, I'm gonna…." Void stopped talking when he saw his waves dispersed and he had nothing to do with it. "What just happened?"
"Now, it's over." Rose said. "The plants that were around you were my own creation. The thorns were filled with a venom that temporarily stops you from using your magic from the smallest prick or cut."
"No." Void murmured. Izuru used his Gravity Magic and lifted him in the air.
"Your use of Nullification Magic is powerful but I'm afraid you lack the actual power to truly fight back." Rose said. "This is where it ends for you." A giant flower grew out of the ground that had blue petals. "Spore Dazzler!" The plant shot out a blast of spores and blasted Void. Izuru undid his magic and Void dropped to the ground and was fast asleep.
"What was that?" Izuru asked.
"A special plant that shoots our spores." Rose said. "He should be asleep for a while and still feel tired even after he wakes up. I'll wrap him in those vines that keep him from using his magic as well. That should take of this one."
"Yes, but his Nullification Magic was powerful. We got lucky he became too confident in his abilities." Izuru said.
"Yes. Losing sight in one's abilities, whether if it's your own or your opponents, can be a dangerous act." Rose said. "Perhaps I can try to find their hideout now that he can't stop me."
"How can you do that?" Izuru asked.
"If I channel my magic power into the forest, I might be able to find their hideout." Rose said as he returned to his meditative state. He channeled his magic power through the plants, but something happened. It was like he was about to crash into something and shot himself open like he woke up from a dream.
"Are you alright?" Izuru said.
"It was like I was repelled, but I felt something." Rose said. "There's something directly under everyone's feet…..something big."
"Do you think it was the cannon?" Izuru said.
"I'm not sure." Rose said.
"Well….how big are we talking about?" Izuru asked.
"Again I must say that I'm not sure." Rose said and that didn't help settle Izuru's nerves. "All I am sure of is that we need to hurry." Izuru was in agreement and both of them took off and continued their search on foot.
…..
Ten Rave's Hideout
Master felt himself lose his connection to his members again as the magic in the hairpins continued to be transferred into the magic circle.
"Are you alright?" Tarantula asked.
"It would seem more members of the Ten have fallen." Dusk said.
"You would be right. Jewel and Void have been defeated." Master said. "Those failures. I chose them because their magic could destroy anyone who dares stand in my way."
"Forget this." Ray said as he got on his feet and was about to leave. "I'm not waiting around anymore. I'll take them all down myself."
"You don't need to leave, Ray." Master said as the magic stopped being transferred and the hairpins dropped. "You have one of the best seats in the house." The magic circle began to light up and started blinking. The seal is almost unlocked and if what Rose sensed was the D.E.C., time is almost up, and if it's as big as what Rose felt, it will bring absolute destruction.

Orihime: Aww, I just realized something!
Ichigo: What is it?
Orihime: It's something important.
Ichigo: What? Is it about Renji, Fissure, or anything about of our friends or enemies?
Ichigo: Next Time: Rupture Disorder
Orihime: No. I didn't do my daily visit to the homeless animals.
Ichigo: You have got to be kidding? We're dealing with life or death here and you're thinking about visiting homeless animals.
