CHAPTER 55: RELEASE!
"And for insulting my FANTASTIC BEAUTIFUL CUTE WONDERFUL SPELL-BINDING ENCHANTING MAGICAL GLITTERY MASTERFUL INTRICATE DELIGHTFUL outfit," Vallencie sneered. "I will unleash an ultra powerful attack on you and force you to take back your words!"
Yumichika raised his eyebrow. The fight had barely started and yet it was already ridiculous beyond his imagination and expectations.
"Brillo en la gloria y la victoria, La Flor Brillante!*" Vallencie raised his head towards the sky dramatically and screamed at the top of his lungs.
Vallencie screamed so loudly that his high pitched, squeaky voice echoed throughout the whole of Soul Society. Yumichika shut his ears tight. Vallencie was exactly like Charlotte Cuulhourne, only more annoying and ugly. Ikkaku even turned his head to see what had happened. Grinkke simply remained as devoid of emotion as he had been. He took out his large Zanpakutou and swung is towards Ikkaku. Spotting the giant blade from the corner of his small eyes, Ikkaku quickly reacted to the impending danger and avoided the attack. A small shred of his black pants was brutally separated from him. Grinkke, determined to keep going on the offense, quickly lunged towards Ikkaku and sent a series of slices and slashes flying at him at an unthinkably high speed. Given his huge size, it would be assumed that Grinkke moved slowly and that Ikkaku could beat him in terms of speed easily. However, Grinkke really surprised him. He had an incredible speed for his huge stature and it was almost on par with Ikkaku's speed. Ikkaku instantly realised that he did not have much advantage over Grinkke in terms of speed and had to overpower him in terms of strength.
Yumichika came face to face with a blinding, pink smoke with glitter flying in all directions. He rolled his eyes. Vallencie could not get more dramatic. It was so perturbing, seeing such a hideous sight like him transform with such grand effects. A gentle breeze blew past, blowing the pink smoke away. Right in Yumichika's face stood Vallencie, decked out in a glittery silver mini skirt, glittery sky blue halter neck top and a glittery pink flower in his long purple hair. His eyelashes seemed to have grown longer and curlier, his fingernails were painted with shiny purple nail polish and he even wore a pair of shiny black stilettos. Yumichika was speechless for a moment, before bursting out into laughter and rolling on the ground. His laugh echoed throughout the whole of Soul Society. He laughed till his stomach hurt badly and he was unable to get up. Ikkaku tried to resist the urge to look, fully aware that he had to focus on his battle with Grinkke and that it was not the right time to lose his concentration. He wondered how ridiculous Vallencie would look and expected that he would look so funny, that he would not be able to recover from his laughter.
Twirling a strand of his hair, Vallenice proudly did a twirl to show off his outfit to his opponent.
"Well, Shinigami..." He smirked. "Aren't you stunned by my AMAZING BEAUTIFUL CUTE PRETTY GLAMOROUS VIBRANT UPBEAT HIP FANTASTIC battle outfit, Resurreccion style?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Yumichika was still laughing and rolling around on the floor. "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! HAHAHA! WHAT A RIDICULOUS OUTFIT!"
Vallencie's proud expression suddenly turned into a furious, annoyed one. It was almost as if fire was burning in the depths of his eyes and his heart was overloaded with extreme anger. Yumichika, too bothered with laughing at such a ridiculous outfit, did not notice the sudden change in Vallencie's face. Vallencie quickly whipped out his blade and slammed it down. Yumichika dodged just in time and his life was spared, but his hair was not. He stared at the few short strands of his raven black hair, lying motionless on the ground. His beautiful hair had been mercilessly chopped off by that... THAT HIDEOUS, WEIRD ARRANCAR! Yumichika clenched his fist tight and grasped the hilt of his Zanpakutou hard. There was no way that he would agree to let Vallencie off the hook for damaging his precious hair. His eyes fixed hard on Vallencie, he released Fuji Kujaku and let his blade spilt into four claw-like blades. Using Shunpo, Yumichika charged towards Vallencie and aimed straight for Vallencie's hair. Vallencie quickly defended his hair and the two continued to exxhange blows with each other, hoping to damage each other's hair or clothes and further provoke each other.
Sounds like those two are having some sort of cat fight... Ikkaku sighed on the inside, as he struggled to resist Grinkke's huge blade which was forced against his Houzukimaru. Grinkke had a sly smile plastered all over his face, while he mercilessly forced his blade against Houzukimaru. Ikkaku was well aware that the force applied against his Zanpakutou was more than enough to split his newly released Zanpakutou into pieces.
Tayomi gripped her Zanpakutou tight as she forced herself up. Even though she managed to decrease the impact of her injury, it was serious enough to torment her while she was lying down. Hitsugaya was able to somehow sense that she was in pain as well, but he knew that there was no way that he would be able to stop her.
"Hey Viquierra..." She muttered, bothering to make eye contact with her opponent. "You're exactly like Ulquiorra, aren't you? Abilities and all..."
"Yes." Viquierra replied in a monotonous voice and nodded. "Yes, we are completely alike."
"Then, you have a second Resurreccion, don't you?"
Viquierra paused for a moment before nodding his head. Hitsugaya and Ichigo both turned to look at Tayomi, both in shock. They had always thought the battle was nearing its end, yet it was far from being over! Tayomi had resolve burning in her eyes and she smiled. Those hours of lying down and analysing her opponent had paid off quite well after all.
"Why don't you release it?"
"Why should I?"
"We're both hiding our powers from each other. I don't know about you, but I'm sick of this battle. So, let's end it as quickly as possible."
"Alright. And you, woman, will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Bring it."
Tayomi stepped back and grabbed both Ichigo and Hitsugaya's hands. She gripped it tight as she watched Viquierra's weapons multiply rapidly, his claws grow sharper and his reiatsu grow stronger. A strong gust of wind swept through the entire area. Tayomi, Hitsugaya and Ichigo all released their reiatsu at the same time, creating an overpowering wind and causing the ground to shake violently. A pale blue aura, a pale yellow aura and an icy white aura glowed and lighted up the entire Seijotokyorin. The sky darkened instantly and hail began to fall from the sky, while lightning streaked across the navy blue sky continuously. It started to pour heavily and a huge bolt of lightning struck the Seijotokyorin, robbing it of its ceiling and completely taking off the roof. The heavy rain fell on Viquierra, Ichigo, Hitsugaya and Tayomi, all of which were left unbothered by the horrendous weather and were fully focused on their battle.
"Wow. Tayomi-chan, Hitsugaya-kun and Ichigo-kun... They're really going all out, aren't they?" Ukitake sighed.
"Well, knowing Kurosaki," Ishida spoke as he pushed up his spectacles. "Seeing him release such a massive amount of reiatsu isn't unlike him at all. Considerably flashy in his battle, as per usual."
"Can we just begin fighting already?" Kiiyaa had begun to grow exceedingly restless and impatient. "UGH! I can't be bothered wasting time on you three. La furia de los mares, Shar Fantasma**!"
Mayuri snickered as he watched a long white horn grow out from the top of his opponent's hollow mask. Her New Espada garment transformed, with her skirt growing shorter and the formation of a white fin on her back. Her eyes turned dark blue, likening it to a stormy sea. Her right hand turned into a black, sharp fin. She immediately lunged towards Ishida, who quickly dodged his attack while taking out his Quincy Bow. He decided not to use Seele Schneider yet and leave it for the last. Ukitake took out both of his Zanpakutous and Mayuri simply snickered, slowly unsheathing his Zanpakutou. Both of them did not seem to have any intention of releasing their Shikai yet. Ishida instinctively shot a series of arrows at Kiiyaa, all of which narrowly missed her. She was moving at such an incredibly high speed, that her movements could barely be spotted. Ishida focused harder and shot a thousand arrows at a time, with a few hitting Kiiyaa but only leaving her with minor scratches. Her reaction was fast enough, such that she could use her newly transformed fin to block Ishida's quick arrows. Mentally counting the number of times he could use Seele Schneider, he knew that though things were not looking up, it simply was not the right time to use it now. He persisted with shooting countless arrows, while Ukitake attacked from behind Kiiyaa. Using her large black fin to block out Ishida's arrows, Kiiyaa used her other hand to grab Ukitake's blade. With his eyes widened and his mouth hung agape, Ukitake was clearly shocked by Kiiyaa's incredible show of strength. Using her bare hand to stop his blade without spilling a single drop of blood was an amazing feat. So, this is the power of the New Espada... Mayuri instantly interrupted his thoughts by releasing his Shikai and lunging straight for Kiiyaa. The middle blade of his trident pierced right into Kiiyaa's arm and she let out a terrifying, high-pitched scream as blood poured from her wound. At that instant, she realised that not only was her arm injured, it also could not move. Gritting her fist, she used her large black fin and brutally severed her arm, further increasing her power. The ground rumbled as her reiatsu grew stronger. Ishida, Ukitake and Mayuri covered their eyes and bent down, so as not to be swept away by the gale caused by Kiiyaa's newly gained powers.
A black fin grew from the wound where her arm was severed. The fin was razor sharp, with a few tiny spikes at the end. Suddenly, Kiiyaa disappeared into thin air, before coming behind Ishida and sending him flying face-first towards the wall using force from her large fin. Crashing through the wall, Ishida struggled to get up and climb back into the Captains' Assembly Hall, rallying himself to continue the battle. Ukitake gripped his Zanpakutou tight and released his Shikai as well. Kiiyaa quickly released a huge Cero, not expecting Ukitake to absorb it and find her own attack backfiring towards her. She hurriedly dodged, before using Sonido to appear behind Mayuri and attempt to stab him back. Mayuri cackled and sneakily avoided her attack.
"Well then..." He laughed. "Let's bring you back to the lab for a nice round of dissection, shall we?"
