(Soundtrack of Choice: Harmonize)

'A lowly hollow?' The man spoke agitated. 'Do you honestly believe I will fall down that easy brat?'

The Imperial guard smirked. 'At the very least you can provide me a bit more entertainment!' He then transform his great sword into a pair of twin dangers and then disappeared from sight, only for the general to quickly block a stab from one the daggers aimed at the back of his neck, before launching a counter swipe to cut the Quincy in half. But Gremmy immediately flipped over the blade.

The blond man then began to stab and swipe at the General with his daggers, with such speed and force that his moves created razor winds that slashed apart the now crumbled tiles of the courtyard. All the while Gremmy kept speeding up and increasing the rate of his attacks. Which once started a mere dozen to well over a thousand. Yet the General in spite of his enormous size, continued to block the blows with almost indifferent ease, not even bothering to follow the nimble Quincy with his eyes.

That is until Gremmy stepped on the flat side of the General's weapon, transformed his pair of daggers into a massive white hammer, and then swung it directly at the Hollow's face with such force, it unleashed a shockwave that pulverized, several walls, bridges, buildings, and towers outside of the courtyard.

However the General mearly caught and grabbed the hammer with his free right hand before quickly crushing it into pieces.

'So you seem to be quite adept at melee...' Gremmy praised slightly and then conjured a twin pair of white golden encrusted guns in both of his hands. 'Let's see how you do with range! He challenged and immediately fired off hundreds of reshi bullets at the General who proceed to block them with his Halberd. But upon doing so they exploded on contact with such force that they shook the entire area. Yet the Arrancar continued remain no worse for wear.

But as soon he swiped his sword to disperse the dust of the explosion. The General soon found both his arms and legs bounded by a silver metal chain, with both having sharped ends of it that were grabbed hold of by Gremmy.

'Not nearly as well as I thought...' He teased his foe and then locked up in the sky. 'And right in the center of the dead zone too'

The General then widen his eyes a bit when he saw a white and golden nuclear bomb headed straight down at him and right before he could react any further it denoted right after meeting the Arrancar half way. Resulting in a massive column like explosion that could be seen all over Las Noches. While Ichigo looked on at the scene stun and speechless.

'Did that guy...just dropped a nuke on him!?' Ichigo nonplussed in thought. 'I mean the cookie thing is one thing, but this is like something from a freaking cartoon sketch'

Gremmy then smiled and giggle upon looking at Ichigo's expression. 'Pretty impressive right, Kurosaki?' He boasted while walking away from the explosion. 'I design the white bomb to only explode in a concentrated area of a dozen feet to avoid collateral damage while maximizing its destructive power' He then smirked. 'Still think that I need help?'

Ichigo remain silent for a moment as stared out at the explosion and sigh. 'Maybe not...but I do know that guy is far from finish'

And then as soon as the shinigmai said that a the giant Arrancar emerge from the explosion casually, while sporting only a few burnt marks on his person. Which were then quickly healed. Which made Gremmy widened his eyes in surprise.

'So that man was able able to take a bomb powerful enough to level half of the Siberstadt and just barely gets singed by it...and then he just heals whatever damage that was dealt to him?' Gremmy commented while focusing his eyes on the General. 'Well he isn't some lowly hollow I'll give him that'

'Hmph...' the General huffed. 'Well, that final attack definitely sting me a bit. But is that really all the most powerful of the Star Knights has to offer?' He then readied his Zanpakuto. While Gremmy conjures a board sword in his right hand. 'Well if it is...' His spiritual then rise and glowed a shade of gold. 'Then allow me to show you what actual destructive power is like, before sending you all to oblivion!'

Then all of a sudden greats torrents of winds wrapped around the General's blade and uttered the name of the attack.

'Furia Del Viento' (Fury of The Wind)

With a single swipe from his weapon, several gigantic tornado blasts of wind were launched from it. Which were so huge that they dwarf even the tallest towers of Las Noches, much to Gremmy's shock. However before the destructive attack could reach its target, Ichigo stepped forward and channeled his spiritual energy into his larger Zanpaktou.

'Gestuga Tenshou!' He roared out and then unleashed a concentrated slash of spiritual power that match and completely canceled out the roaring blasts of wind. Which in turn made the general smirk.

'Now that is what the level of power I was expecting' He complimented. 'Someone who can actually rival the might of my King. Instead of some dancing Jester, throwing around parlor tricks'

Gremmy then frowns at that comment. 'Parol tricks?' He said coldly and began to rise his spiritual power. But then Ichigo placed a hand on his shoulder.

'Don't let him get to you' The Shinigmai reasoned but Gremmy merely rolled his eyes and the teenager looked away in annoyed. 'Looked I am sorry for interfering with your fight and all. But I am not someone to just stand around and do nothing when someone is in trouble' He then turns his attention towards the General. 'You can chastise me after we take down this guy together'

Gremmy then stared at Ichigo for a moment and then groan 'Uggh...You know despite not being related to his majesty, you sure do act like him Kurosaki...' He commented while creating a double of himself. 'Solstice Tier Four Spear of Mars' he announce and his double guns then transformed into a bronze spear, with a ruby encrusted on its blade. 'For despite all the protection you need you still couldn't help but stick your neck out to protect others, regardless if they needed it or not' He then twirled around his celestial weapon. 'But of course, with the two of us working together, both of us can now focus on protecting the other without worry'

Ichigo smirked while branding both of his dual-wielded zanapktou. 'Works fine by me' He agreed and soon both Quincy and Sternritter attack both at once.

Meanwhile on the other side of Las Noches

Cien smiled in amusement upon confronting Lille Barrow and Royd Lyoud, while the two kept up their guard up.

'So, it would seemed the imperial guard and the failure mole have finally come to face me' The scientist said sarcastically. 'Oh I so do wonder what sort of methods you would use to take me down'

Lille then focused his eyes on the Alchemist, and analyze his spiritual power and as expected it was far beyond any other Arrancar or Espada he had ever sense. Yet he doubt that was the man's only strength.

Barrow then looked towards Royd. 'Can you copy him in order to get his memories?' He question but the younger shook her head.

'I have already tried that, but there is something in this room that is preventing me from activating my Schrift and I can also guess it's the same for yours too' Royd explain and Cein then clapped both of his hands.

'Oh so you already figured out the purpose of this room already?' He praised mockingly before branding a sinister grin. 'I suppose you are not a complete failure after-all...but that is not all this room does'

Suddenly Lille Barrow found out his entire rifle dissipated and in half a second later he found out that Cein was suddenly upon him with his zanpakuto already swinging down his head. But luckily with his razor sharp reflexes he managed to narrowly dodge the blow with only a small strain of his hair cut off.

'Well ain't the surprises just keep popping up?' Cein commented. 'You managed to dodge my attack even when your flying step was disabled' he then bend his sword arm backwards 'Though it would have shamed your status as an Imperial guard if you couldn't right?'

Lille then barred his teeth. 'Easy to say for a coward who would use petty tricks to even the playing field' He insulted but Cein merely snorted.

'Please, you have the power to pierced through any defense instantaneous, while also simitanusly being intangible and your own lackey would have been the perfect mole with his appearance and memory replication if not for own lack of acting talent' The Alchemist then readied his sword. 'If anything I am just being resourceful'

Then all of the sudden he sense a powerful blow coming for his neck and immediately raise up his zanpakuto to block the blade and it hit him with such strength that it actual managed to strain his arms and to his bewilderment it turn out the one who delivered the blow was Royd.

'Then that makes one of us scum!' He shouted out before pushing the Alchemist back and began rapidly launching blow after blow on his foe, who much to his confusion and wonder, actually hade to focused and parry his opponents strikes.

'Interesting...' Cein commented though this time much more genuinely. 'So you were always this powerful mole?' He question while Royd increased the pacing of his attacks.

'As someone who could only copy the appearance and form of my target, My Schrift didn't had much use in combat and so I made up for it by training myself to be that most powerful Quincy that I can be!' He answered boastfully before kicking Cein in stomach and pushing against a pillar.

But instead of hearing a growling of e, it was giggles.

'Excellent...' Cein declared joyfully with the biggest grin Ryoud had seen on the man's face. 'It seems that I have severely underestimate you boy' He then crushed the pillar behind him to dust with his bare-hands. 'In fact I think I'll just disabled the seal on the rest or your powers just see what you can really do!'

'Don't bother...' Lille muttered while standing beside the right wall of the with had a metal device on it. 'Because I'll undue the seal myself'

He then charged his spiritual into one of the pods.

'Spendenschild!' (Denotation Shield)

Then a moment later the metal pod began to glow a bright blue alongside, dozens of others that were attached to all the other walls. Cien could then only look in shook as they all exploded all at once and completely blown up the room they were all in.

When dust settled, The Alchemist who was unharmed by the explosion tried to find were Lilie was, only to immediately see a the barrel of a rifle aimed right at his head.

'Try, to disable my powers now' and with that the Imperial guard shot the X-Axis at Cein and the beam went straight through his forehead.
