After seeing what Kalia could do, Oromaus was rather amused. The fact that she can use the powers of a soul reaper and a fullbring is quite interesting, but he's seen all that he needed to see. From the sound of things, Oromaus is getting ready to enter the final steps to his plan. However, there's one other thing he's looking into with Amador. Amador was gathering energy into his blades and was expecting some sort of change.
"That's it, Amador." Oromaus said. "Now unleash that power!" Amador unleashed some of the power it was building to see results and Oromaus could see it. He liked what he was seeing. "Good. It's starting to come together real well. Tetsuda!"
"I'm here." Tetsuda said as he entered the chamber. "I want you to go with Amador and see how our little experiment truly works in battle. Kalia Kurosaki would be the perfect subject to aid us in this experiment. While this is going on, I'm going to set the final pieces into place for the World of the Living."
"As you wish." Tetsuda said. Oromaus is starting to put the pieces together for the final phase of his plan. Kalia has to stop this sinister man, but how can she when she's really the only one that can fight?
...
The Kurosakis
"Luckily, it looks like there wasn't too much damage done to the house." Kalia said as she was helping to clean the house after what happened the other day. "I swear, I'm going to rip him a new one when I see Oromaus."
"Language, Kalia! Kazui might hear you!" Orihime said.
"Yeah... I'm starting to question the parenting of me and Orihime back in your world after seeing you in that outfit." Ichigo said.
"It's not my fault. That's just how it came out when I first unlocked my fullbring." Kalia said.
"So, you really can use fullbring?" Orihime asked.
"Yeah. I learned how to use it thanks to Chad and his daughter back in my world. It really helped me out and gave me some extra power." Kalia said as she was fixing up the closet, but then noticed something. "What is with this outfit?" She said as she pulled out a familiar white outfit. When Orihime and Ichigo saw it, both of their faces turned red. "Somebody has some nerve to lecture me about what I wear when someone has this."
"You kept that even after Kisuke tricked you into wearing it?!" Ichigo said.
"Well, I assumed that you... Maybe we... That..." Orihime had no good answer as to why she kept it while Kalia examined it and noticed how open it was in the chest area.
"Wow... My mother in my own world would never wear something so bold." Kalia mocked.
"It's not what you think!" Orihime said as she tried to explain the situation. "Can we please focus?! This Oromaus sounds like he's going to enter the final phase of his plan!" She said that in desperation, but saying it got Ichigo and Kalia to be serious.
"She's right." Kalia said as she tossed the outfit aside. "Oromaus sounds like he's going to enter his endgame soon. I've got to try and do something to try and stop him, but the miserable bastard is hiding until the last minute!" Kalia wasn't the only one frustrated about the whole thing. Ichigo was rather upset about all of it himself. He didn't say anything. All he did was just march right out the door.
"Ichigo?" Orihime said, but the door just slammed shut. Leaving in silence is never a good thing. "Oh, Ichigo..."
"Should we go after him?" Kalia asked, but Orihime wasn't sure.
"Mommy!" Kazui called as he came downstairs. "Kon isn't happy."
"You better believe I'm not!" Kon said as he came down, but he looked like surgery gone wrong. "Orihime, you're hot as hell while acting like an angel, but you are terrible at sewing! Why didn't you let Uryu fix me up?"
"Because you're annoying as hell." Kalia claimed.
"Hey. What's this?" Kazui said as he found the outfit himself. Poor Orihime really has her hands full now.
...
Ichigo
Ichigo just stormed out of his place in frustration. The whole situation is getting to him more and more. Someone claiming to be his daughter is risking her life in a battle that should be his. So many people are in danger and he can't do anything about it. As someone who sees himself as a protector, this situation is really biting down on him. It became so much that he just couldn't hold it back anymore.
"Damn it all!" Ichigo shouted at the top of his lungs.
"I knew you were loud, but that might be a new record for you." Ichigo turned around and was surprised to see Uryu standing there.
"Hey, Uryu." Ichigo said.
"What's wrong with you this time?" Uryu questioned.
"It's this whole thing. I hate all of it." Ichigo said. "I don't have my soul reaper powers anymore, but there are a lot of people in need of my help. Take what happened the other day. Kalia was in real trouble, as was my family, and I couldn't do anything about it. Hold on, what do you mean by "this time"?"
"Ichigo, I understand." Uryu said. "I always took pride in my quincy powers and abilities. I loved being a quincy, but now it's all gone. You and I both went through something like this before."
"Yeah, but we were both able to regain our powers." Ichigo said. "This time, it doesn't seem like there is a way for our powers to return."
"They might if we can defeat the Jigoku." Uryu said.
"But we can't without our powers. It's all in Kalia's hands and there's nothing we can do about it." Ichigo said.
"Not exactly. We just have to focus on what we can do." Uryu said.
"That's easy for you to say." Ichigo said. "You're a doctor, can help people who are injured. What can I really do?"
"You still can help the innocent." Uryu said. "You can do what Chad has been doing. Chad's been using his strength to help people out. We can also try to figure out ways that can help Kalia or help beat the Jigoku, not that you do much thinking in the first place."
"Really? You're trying to poke fun at me?" Ichigo said with annoyance.
"At least it's getting you to forget about your problems, even if it is for a second." Uryu said. "My point is that you need to quit acting like a child that didn't get the toy he liked. Every time you feel like you failed to protect someone or someone overpowers you, you drown yourself with misery. No on is invincible, and you just need to remember to get back up. Stop thinking about what you can't change and focus on ways to make your situation better." Maybe Uryu was right, but what can Ichigo do. Just then, he felt something cold blow against the back of his neck.
"Do you feel cold all of...""Move!" Uryu said as he tackled Ichigo out of the way as a wave of snow and ice nearly hit them.
"What the hell was that?!" Ichigo said.
"Look!" Uryu said as they were faced with Amador. "He's with the Jigoku." Amador held up twin blades, but Uryu noticed some crystals extensions added to them. "Those look like the same crystals that drained us of our powers!"
"What are they up to this time?" Ichigo questioned.
"It's part of a little experiment of ours." They both looked behind them and saw Tetsuda. "The crystals are going to add to our own power after draining it away from all of you. It's a contingency, but we still need to test it."
"What are they talking about now?" Ichigo said as he didn't get it.
"Ichigo, move!" Uryu said as he saw Amador attack with Amador moving out of the way from his attack. Without their powers, both of them could be in real trouble now. Amador held up his twin blades and was getting ready to unleash something.
"Stop!" Kalia arrived just in time as she arrived in her bankai and came down to attack. Amador held up his blades and were able to block her attack.
"Just who we were looking for." Tetsuda said.
"You guys really are the lowest of the low. Attacking people without powers to defend themselves?" Kalia said. "Just how far are you creeps going to go."
"As far as we need to take." Amador said as he spoke for the first time.
"What the hell?" Kalia said as she jumped away from him. "You can actually talk?"
"I don't usually talk to those who will soon be dead. The fights are usually over too quickly." Amador said. "However, I am well aware of how powerful you really are. It is for that reason I speak because I know you will be a challenge to kill."
"Weirdo, but I'm up for a fight." Kalia said. "You two might want to take cover form somewhere. This fight is going to get ugly." She told Ichigo and Uryu. Ichigo hated to do that, but Uryu held him back and knew there wasn't much they could do to help her.
"You're actually the perfect opportunity to test this." Amador said as he held up both his swords and the crystals began to shine. "Sode no Shirayuki." Ichigo couldn't believe he heard that name. Suddenly, ice and snow was launched right at Kalia, but Kalia jumped in the air and avoided the attack.
"That was the name of Rukia's zanpakuto! How did he do that?!" Ichigo questioned. It only got worst as Amador jumped up to Kalia and aimed his swords at her.
"Tobiume!" Amador launched a fireball right at her, but Kalia was able to avoid that. When he landed down on a roof, he readied another attack. "Tachikaze!" Amador kept the different attacks going as he swung his blades around and unleashed razor wind attacks at Kalia. She kept flying around and avoided each attack thrown at her.
"What's with all the different attacks?" Kalia questioned.
"Those... Those are the names of zanpkauto!" Ichigo said as he recognized them. Kalia heard him and almost couldn't believe it.
"That's right. That is the experiment we are working on." Tetsuda said. "We now are trying to gain access to the power of the zanpakuto of the soul reapers who have lost their powers. We are attempting to take that power as our own."
"That's impossible! Only the master of a zanpakuto can use their powers!" Ichigo claimed.
"And we are breaking the boundaries of that." Amador said. "It wasn't easy, but we might have found a way to do so. Now to see how it does in battle."
"So you're using the power you stole from others! You guys really are the lowest of the low!" Kalia said. "Even that won't help you against me!" She said as she dived down at him and tried to attack, but Amador was able to block her attack. "So these crystals on your blades are giving you access to the powers you stole! If I shatter them, you can't use that stolen power anymore."
"We'll see about that. Sode no Shirayuki!" Amador called on that power again with ice forming around Kalia's blade, but Kalia jumped away and was able to break the ice away. "You only have one zanpakuto, but we have stolen the power of many soul reapers. You are one alone against many."
"I might have only one, but it's mine! It's all I need!" Kalia said as she tried attacking him again.
"Tobiume!" Amador launched another fireball, but Kalia used Flash Step to avoid it and get behind him. She tried to attack him, but Amador jumped over the street. Kalia tried to go after him. "Tsuchinamazu!" Amador caused spikes of stone shot right out from under Kalia, but she slashed right through.
"Is that really all you've got?" Kalia said.
"What about this?" Amador said as he held up his swords and they glowed pink. "Senbonzakura." He unleashed petals from his blades and the others almost couldn't believe it.
"No way! They even managed to get Byakuya?!" Ichigo said. Amado unleashed the petals right at Kalia, but Kalia swung her blade around and kept all of them away.
"Is that really all you've got?!" Kalia said.
"Even you can't get all of them. Just look." Amado said as he managed to have one stream of petals move around Kalia and was coming at her from behind. Kalia noticed it with only seconds to dodge. She tried to move out of the way, but her arm still got caught in it.
"Argh!" Kalia could feel her arm getting cut up by the petals and tried to pull away. "Why you little..." Kalia was mad, but she then noticed something. She took a look at her hand and saw it had few shallow and small cuts. "It barely cut my arm."
"Sode no Shirayuki!" Amado attacked with Rukia's zanpaukto's power once more as he unleashed more ice upon her and Kalia got hit by it this time. Kalia was covered in ice and they appeared to have her trapped now. "It's done." Uryu and Ichigo were worried about this, but Tetsuda could see the truth. Kalia was able to break herself free very easily.
"I get it now. I say your little experiment is a failure." Kalia said.
"What?!" Amador said.
"It is impressive you're able to copy the powers of a zanpakuto, but that's not enough." Kalia said. "The truth is that you can't bring out it's full power. Only a zanpakuto's master is capable of doing that. I could tell now that your attacks are nothing more than cheap imitations of the real thing. That ice didn't even feel all that cold, and the blades that made the petals weren't even all that sharp. Besides, it looks like you can only use shikai. Do you really think shikai is enough against my bankai."
"Are you saying that it's incomplete?" Amador said.
"I'm saying that it's a waste of time. You can't use the full power of a zanpakuto no matter who you stole it from!" Kalia said and went on the attack as she went down at him and tried swinging her sword at him again, but he tried to block her again. "This is what the real power of a soul reaper and a zanpakuto can do because they share one united mind! Zanpakuto are alive with their own minds, and it's through this kinship that soul reapers are as strong as they are now!" Kalia twirled around and kicked Amador and forced him back.
"Amador, focus on your own abilities to win this fight!" Tetsuda called as Amador tried pulling himself together to fight.
"Too slow!" Kalia said as she moved a lot faster and slashed against Amador in a powerful strike. The force blew Amador away and knocked him into the streets and Amador was finished just like that.
"What speed and power!" Tetsuda said as he couldn't believe that Amador was killed so quickly. They should have known they couldn't fully bring out a zanpakuto's power.
"And it's your turn!" Kalia said as she turned to him.
"She's right." Uryu said as he and Ichigo faced him as well. "Unless you tell us where we can find Oromaus."
"And why would I do that to a bunch of powerless fools?" Tetsuda questioned.
"Do you honestly think we'll roll over to you just because we don't have our powers anymore." Uryu said. Ichigo was a little surprised with Uryu. He isn't backing down and yet he doesn't have his powers anymore. This was what he was talking about earlier.
"They're right! We're not afraid of you!" Ichigo said.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. You may have won many battles, but we have won the war." Tetsuda said before he vanished in a light.
"What did he mean by that?" Ichigo said.
"I doubt it's anything good." Kalia said as they all had a bad feeling about this, and they were right to be cautious. Just then, they felt the ground shake for a moment. "What was that?"
...
Oromaus
Oromau was putting the final pieces of his plan into action with another crystal...the biggest of them all. The crystal was brought from out of nowhere and placed in the streets somewhere in a massive city. Despite how big the city is, everyone took notice of the crystal and the power it generated affected the very world. As he stood at the top of the crystal, he can't wait to see what will happen from this point.
...
Kalia
"I don't know what that was, but it can't be good at all." Kalia said. This wasn't looking good at all. However, a small glimmer of hope came calling on Ichigo's phone.
"Hello?" Ichigo said.
"Hey. It's starting to look bad." Kisuke said. "Looks like the Jigoku are making a big move, but nothing to fear. I think I finally found a way to destroy all the crystals once and for all." It seems like there's still a chance for them to get out of this mess.
