Volume 6: Chapter 14: The Three-Way War! Battle in Fake Karakura Town!
Previously in DKR:
Irritated by the woman questioning his life, Sasuke engaged Evangeline with the intent to kill her to learn the truth of his brother but there's a reason why she's known as Dark Evangel; outclassing all of Sasuke's attacks and withstands them like nothing. Brought to near despair and nearly about to be killed; Sasuke awakens the humanoid Susanoo and seemingly sniped down the immortal vampire- No, she resurfaced and giggled; admitting that he's worthy of joining the Dark Lord's group.
After Akumu used his dragon powers to heal and bypass the blindness of Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan powers; the young Uchiha accepted Evangeline's offer to become her student for the pursuit of greater power. Now he, Selvaria and Houndour will train under Evangeline for 2 weeks within her special pocket dimension world.
Now with things about to return to the present, what is the Dark Lord's play?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... Present time, 2 weeks later since last left off:
Akumu paces around, checking his watch. He can feel damn Aizen already on Earth and Evangeline has yet to show up. He growls, not concerned of needing her for this fight but wanting to impress her. After all, a woman of her standards deserves a strong, powerful male like yours truly. And he doesn't want Aizen to get what he wants.
He continues walking around impatiently while his general watches him; sweat dropping behind his helmet by how frustrated his lord was.
"She should be coming out soon, my lord.'' He assures him with a calm voice. Akumu eyes him and growls a bit, replying. "I know but my concern is Aizen is about to appear to get his stupid key.'' He scoffs at such nonsense as the Soul King is a mere tool to the ones that created life and why he will surpass them. ''Soul King or not, I am the one who will rule over all existence!''
''How do you know he's coming?'' Arkham asks, very curiously as he's leaning on the wall and reading a book. Akumu looks at him and responds firmly. ''I can feel it.'' And then he felt a spike of energy, happening to where Aizen is arriving from. He's about to make his move so he hopes Evangeline doesn't waste any more time.
Aizen and his remaining forces travel through the Garganta, about to arrive at Karakura Town.
''You sure Ulquiorra-chan got this, Captain Aizen?'' Gin asks his great leader, wondering if the task is a little much with all those intruders still in Hueco Mundo. Aizen has no issue with Ulquiorra's loyalty that he will fight to protect Las Noches… and become the strongest test subject to Ichigo Kurosaki's strength.
''I trust Las Noches safety to his hands.'' He simply says before Gin then asks with a sly fox smile. ''And what of the Dragon Knight and his comrades?''
Aizen doesn't answer right away; also positive about seeing them here.
''… We'll expect them eventually and if not, shame.'' He responds, not minding how it goes either way.
They're about to reach their destination as Tosen begins to frown, proclaiming. ''Aizen-sama, about our odds…''
''I'm not worried.'' Aizen interrupts calmly, always expecting this would happen if things did not play out the way he wanted it. ''I knew things would happen. For now, through…'' The portal opens up to the other side as Aizen stares at it, rather delighted. ''We have old faces to greet.''
Soon the 3 emerge, standing on the sky over Karakura Town… and waiting for them also in the air, is the Gotei 13; all captains present with Head Captain Yamamoto, standing in the center with his crane firmly in his hand. Aizen looks at all of them as Gin spots Rangiku, grinning as he's happy she's here among almost all the other Lieutenants.
Aizen cracks a small smile, expressing joy to see so many faces. ''How nostalgic to see you all here, waiting for us.'' As his Espada army arrives from their own Garganta portals.
Every Captain present, especially Hitsugaya, glares at the man except Kenpachi who's so excited to fight him, Mayuri who is looking forward to dissecting him… and Yamamoto who seems the calmest but he's just the eye of the storm.
''You cause such a ruckus, boy.'' Yamamoto is the first to speak up, looking up at the former Captain who brought shame to all Shinigami and now aims to kill many to upset the balance of their world. "Betraying Soul Society, plotting to kill thousands of innocent lives; does it not make you any less than a monster?''
Aizen looks down at the old Shinigami; the oldest and the leader among them and only looks at him petty as he responds with an amused, intelligent voice. ''Genryusai Yamamoto; how many have you killed to achieve your ''peace''? Was it 10? 1000? Or a million? And I don't mean just Hollow but any, including Quincies.''
Yamamoto begins to gaze irritated towards this naïve youth.
''What I'm doing is no different. But my peace is of a necessary change, a revolution to end a cycle. Someone like yourself could not understand such a thing.'' He proclaims his ideals, his purpose of his goal with a small smirk before he becomes serious, staring down at all the Captains. ''None of you.''
''End a cycle?'' Aizen's eyebrow raised by a strange yet familiar voice. He scans across the Shinigami present but none until that same voice speaks up furiously. ''All I'm getting is that you betrayed Takao for a nonsensical delusional dream!''
Aizen now looks down and slowly smirks, spotting him. Standing on top of a rooftop is the Flame Alchemist, Colonel Mustang, and he looks pissed.
''Oh? You're a face I haven't seen a long time…'' He begins to proclaim, finding this truly funny as if he's traveled through time. ''Roy Mustang-kun.''
Mustang glares coldly at the condescending, arrogant and overconfident scumbag.
Watching them from a faraway distance with sniper guns; Lieutenant Havoc groans worryingly, still taking aim with his sniper as he puffs a smoke from his cigar. Lieutenant Hawkeye also grunts but for his smoking. ''Do you mind?''
''I am extremely scared ma'am.'' Havoc expresses, finding this really insane, they're going to try to shoot down some guy under the Colonel's command. It's like a suicidal mission that will turn ugly very quickly. He looks at Riza and asks her. ''How do you think the Colonel feels?''
She doesn't reply, simply being calm but it annoys her that the Colonel has been distant but she doesn't blame him.
''I'm actually worried for him… I mean, after what happened to Major Hughes.'' Havoc then says, noticing how different the Colonel has been like this since Major Hughes' death. In a way; it was his best friend and the Major was always the one who smiled carefree about any situation, even showing photos of his daughter and wife around. He frowns as it wasn't fair how he died.
''…'' Silent, Riza takes aim with her sniper gun at Aizen, waiting for the signal as she responds. ''Same.'' She doesn't mention that the Colonel was like this already once… when Takao Muto died.
Mustang gazes coldly at Aizen as he eyes the other Shinigami and tells them. ''Hate to interrupt your private party…'' He apologies before he looks back at the man who he hates right now. ''But this bastard and I have a score to settle.''
Leaping beside the Colonel and Lieutenant Armstrong as he proclaims, doing manly poses and nearly removing his coat. ''And I am here to assist! Behold the strength passed down from the Armstrong-''
''Not now, Armstrong!'' Mustang yells in a panic at him to stop him acting like an idiot in the middle of a dangerous battlefield.
Aizen looks down at him and cracks a small smirk, responding to his statement. ''Score? If you're referring to back then, well that was nothing more but a flex of your inferior strength versus my superior one.'' Referring to their little spar and he came out the victor. Seems the alchemist hasn't forgotten it.
Mustang looks back at him seriously as he replies. ''I'm not afraid to fight you because what you're doing is bringing more pain to those who aren't part of this!''
Reflecting on his time in the Ishvalan War; he remembers the horror inflicted there and how much he hated it, how much he wanted to change this. He decided there he would become the Fuhrer and when he told Takao his goal and well; he laughed and wished him luck with an honest smile. He asked him why he laughed and well…
''I laughed because if anyone else became Fuhrer, they wouldn't be a true ruler like you! You want to be the ruler of your land because you hate loss and that is what a true leader should feel!'' Takao's voice says with a carefree, smiling face that left the Colonel back then flabbergasted but he smiled that day.
Takao was always like that; wanting to see people not fall back to despair and give them hope. He recalls how strong that man was… and how unfair he and the woman that fell for him and became a family both died that day. Sufferess… that monster scarred the lives of so many and Mustang would learn who told him where Takao was living; the man before him.
''Someone like you who doesn't value the lives lost has no right to be anything more but a smug!'' Mustang yells out with a death glare at the Shinigami. Aizen looks down at him and just cracks a small smile, further insulting the Flame Alchemist. He reaches to his right gloved hand, stretching its fabric and prepares to snap-
''Jokaku Enjo!" As his cane fades away to reveal his Zanpakuto, Yamamoto immediately swings it towards the 3 rogue Shinigami and engulfs them within an immense wall of flames; keeping them imprisoned there for the time being.
Mustang is shocked as the Head Captain reverts his sword into a cane and proclaims with a deep sigh. ''The youth are always full of themselves.'' He looks at the human colonel and tells him. ''Human, Aizen is our concern. Though, I will admire your resolve. We will have to work together to slay the rest of his army.''
The colonel doesn't say a word, just nodding firmly.
''Hahaha! I admire such stern confidence! So says the proud Armstrong of many-'' Armstrong starts preaching such manliness until he's silent by Mustang's gaze. He gulps as he apologies. ''S-sorry, Colonel.''
Barragan watches this and snarls, sitting on his floating throne chair as he proclaims. ''You've gotten softer, Shinigami.''
Yamamoto turns back at the once proud Hollow King to a minion of Aizen's, calling him out. ''And you've become nothing more but a lap dog of that boy, Barragan.'' Barragan growls by his comment, irritated.
''Smug old timer.'' The young Arrancar, Vega, comments with a smug face. Barragan just glares as Aizen's voice speaks through the flames. ''My Espadas, dispose of the towers binding this fake town to the real one.''
This shocks every Captain with Mustang uttering in sweat. ''That's why this place is so empty.''
''Mayuri thought it was unnecessary to create a fake replica of Kurosaki's home and place everyone and the real town away.'' Captain Shunsui Kyoraku expresses, adjusting his straw hat. The madman Shinigami scoffs at his comment as he responds with a tightly grinned face. ''Like I said before, making the town; a waste of resources. A few bodies wouldn't harm anyone.
''It would upset Kurosaki. The boy cares for this town.'' Komamura argues in protest to the mad genius, further scoffing.
Mustang makes a face; forgetting how oddball death gods are. He smirks though, knowing Takao wouldn't mind it.
''Everyone, prepare yourselves for battle!'' Yamamoto commands as Kenpachi smirks. ''About time-'' He's about to charge in but Byakuya stops him with his sword in front of him and proclaims logically and firmly. ''Not yet. Aizen is still an obvious threat.''
''Tch, you're no fun.'' The battle hungry Shinigami grunts, wanting to fight.
''We'll handle these forces, leave the rest to us.'' Hitsugaya proclaims as he flies to engage the 3rd Espada.
''Should be easy dealing with the small fry.'' Sui-Feng proclaims, dashing at the 2nd Espada's forces.
Starrk yawns with Lilynette pushing him forward to fight the enemy but he refuses.
Shunsui sighs as Ukitake smiles, telling him. ''Guess we have our foe huh?''
Mustang watches from his end, hoping Konoha's forces show up for his big plan. He pulls out a communicator, having been trying to call Kakashi but no luck. What's happening over there?
''…'' Still waiting, Akumu frowns silently and irritates, checking his watch. She's taking way too long, already past the 2 WEEKS he told her to-
Suddenly the globe glows and in an instant, Evangeline appears out of thin air as well as a trained Sasuke, Selvaria and the evolved Houndour, now a powerful Houndoom.
''We're back~'' She proclaims happily, wearing a rather attractive swimsuit outfit with a beach hat and sunglasses.
''…'' Akumu looks at her, aroused by her sexy, womanly body but he can't bang her yet; he has to calm down as he grunts. Evangeline giggles by his attitude, telling him. ''Grumpy much, Akumu. Need a small break inside-''
''Later. We're going.'' Akumu calmly tells her, wanting some vacation AFTER he deals with Aizen. He pauses and looks at her, smirking. ''Eva, you look very hot.'' Evangeline grins, hoping to hear that.
Akumu then eyes Sasuke and questions him. ''You ready then, Sasuke?''
''More than you.'' Sasuke proclaims, showing the signs of his training as well as his trained mon's partner who barks determinedly. ''Doom!'' Selvaria just smiles, happy to hear it.
''Eggman, is-'' Akumu then begins to bark on the doctor's maintenance on Metal Sonic who responds right away. ''Metal is fully prepared!''
Akumu smirks, adjusting his tie as he proclaims eagerly. ''Time to move out, ladies and gentlemen!'' He walks forward with an eager grin. ''The show has started.''
Commercial Break:
Mustang watches with his arms crossed as Armstrong is astonished by the battles happening. This is a once-in-a-life-time for mortals to see death gods clashing against their opposites. The fights are seemingly going well for the Shinigami, some protecting the pillars surrounding the fake Karakura Town from swapping with the real one with all the civilians in a deep, unconscious state.
''They seem to be handling things well.'' Armstrong comments with Mustang watching with his arms crossed, more fixated towards the wall of flames sealing Aizen and his main men. ''Yea.'' He simply says, wondering how long he plans to stand around with this hopefully counterattack.
The fights continue as Sui-Fong is about to deal with her opponent. The Arrancar to Barragan, Vega, is humiliated greatly. Even with his Resurrección, he can't land a hit to beat his opponent.
"Damn Shinigami!'' He yells in frustration while the assassin Shinigami scoffs down at her opponent. ''I was expecting more the enemy.'' She prepares to end his life.
Vega glares as he comes at her but the assassin Shinigami prepares to eliminate him… until she sees multiple purple flashes and she widens her eyes.
''OMAEDA, MOVE YOUR FAT ASS NOW!'' Sui-Fong yells at her lieutenant who's already running for his life from his elephant. He trips as he slams head first into the ground… However, that helps him avoid a massive purple energy arrow stabbing through his opponent. Not only that but multiple of the same energy arrows hit through each of the rest of Barragan's Fraccion except Vega who manages to dodge it as well as the other Espadas and most of the other Arrancars.
''W-WHAT was that?!'' Lilynette yells in distress with Starrk also confused. Barragan doesn't move as the arrow could never touch him due to his ability.
''W-who the hell-'' Vega begins to complain furiously, looking up at where that attack came from and to his surprise; standing on top of a rooftop from afar is Sasuke. This confuses the Arrancar. ''A human?''
The Uchiha doesn't say much as he leaps and moves so fast that he lands below the Arrancar to his shock.
''You're an ally of Kurosaki?'' Sui-Fong questions this stranger only for Sasuke to scoff and firmly responds, gazing at his murderous Mangekyou Sharingan eyes. ''No.'' His left eye bleeds as he releases Amaterasu upon her but she dodges it at the last second. He just moves his eyes towards the Arrancar, releasing the black flames at him.
Vega barely dodges it too, hissing madly. ''Damn human…'' He comes charging at Sasuke aggressively. ''DON'T GET INVOLVED!''
Sasuke watches him coming as Vega thrusts his claws forward but only hits the pavement of the rooftop, exploding it, while Sasuke has leaped over him.
''Your movement is predictable.'' Sasuke utters coldly as he twirls around as Vega thrusts his arms upward, only to get kicked by one foot and then smacks him across the head across the other leg. The impact shatters the forehead skull-like helmet. This causes Vega such pain as Sasuke somersaults and lands behind him, barely taking a sweat.
Vega actually scoffs out blood, breathing in agony as he turns around, still floating in the air and his eyes are covered in enraged red veins towards the human giving him his back as if he's nothing.
''DAMN YOU!'' Vega roars furiously, charging downward at him. However, as he does; Sasuke begins to utter a chant. "One flash of lightning to cut through the night, spring forth from my hand and throttle my enemy!'' He twirls around so fast, stunning the Arrancar as Sasuke raises his left hand towards his enemy and soon shouts out. ''WHITE LIGHTNING!'' He fires an intense, magical electric attack, blasting through the Arrancar within seconds.
Sui-Fong is shocked as the Arrancar gasps out blood, a large hole across his chest by that powerful lightning magic spell.
''BLAZE RELEASE: KAGUTSUCHI!'' Sasuke then shouts, manifesting his Susanoo as he thrusts its purple energy sword, coated in black flames, and hits through the Arrancar. Vega screams as the flames quickly consume him and he fades into nothing.
Sui-Fong watches this speechless while her Lieutenant trembles in the corner, freaking out heavily. Barragan watches this with a firm, irritated gaze that nearly all of his men were killed off by this one human child. What the hell is he?
Things were not better as the Tres Bestias were all nearly one-shot by the rapidly, intense fiery energy shots from Selvaria, firing them from her lancer. Not just her but also the Shinigami in her sight.
''Shinigami or Arrancar…'' The Valkyria begins to proclaim as her eyes glow and a blue fiery aura forms around her. ''Any who stand in my path will be incinerated.''
''DOOM!'' Houndoom howls as she breathes Flamethrower at the enemy.
''…'' Metal stares ominously at Lilynette's unease, hiding behind Starrk who looks annoyed.
''What's the meaning of this?'' Barragan begins to demand, irritated by these unexpected reinforcements. However, that was far from the truth as a roar echoed powerfully above them. This alarms everyone as soaring out of a dark fog like a serpent is the Dark Lord, smirking as Dark General hovers behind him.
''Hahaha! It seems I just arrived!'' He proclaims overconfidence. Aizen hears him and forms a small smirk, uttering calmly. ''Late as well.''
''The Dark Lord, here?!'' Mustang utters, gritting his teeth as he didn't think the dragon would show up.
Watching all of this from above and undetected, Evangeline observes sitting on a throne chair that's floating on a magical platform pedestal. Arkham is watching right beside her as she expresses annoyed. ''It rather annoys me he won't let me join in this slaughter.''
''I'm sure he wants to save his trump card for last.'' Arkham ensures her, certain that is part of the Dark Lord's plan.
Evangeline agrees though it's likely Akumu trying to impress her. Oh that man is that prideful. She can't help but smile to see him succeed.
The black humanoid dragon looks at the Shinigami not fighting the enemy and proclaims with a polite bow. ''Soul Society, my apologies for appearing when you lot have your petty hate towards Aizen…'' He then lifts his head and grins evilly as he proclaims. ''But the one who will win in the end, who will kill Aizen and you all; is I!''
''That demon…'' Mustang mutters annoyed, having a perfect plan only for this more arrogant bastard to show up to ruin it.
Yamamoto simply looks at the black dragon, finding him even more beautiful than before.
Byakuya suddenly appears before the dragon and proclaims firmly. ''You have some nerve to come here where you're not welcome, beast.''
The Dark Lord looks down at him and immediately breathes out a Dark Fireball Blaze right at him. His fireball is quickly repelled by a wall of Sakura Blossom petals from Byakuya's Senbonzakura.
The black dragon growls as he proclaims confidently towards Yamamoto. ''Fine, I'll deal with these worms before I go after you, Head Captain.''
Byakuya isn't hearing any of this, raising his hand as his storm of petals flies right at the black dragon and hits him, blasting him into a building. Dark General dodges the petals, moving away to see his lord crashed into the building and yet he shows no concern or need to rush over there. After all, his lord doesn't need him right now.
In a few seconds, that same building explodes in flames as the Dark Lord shoots out of it, grunting as he brushes off the dirt he got on his scales.
''Was that all you got?'' He declares disappointed. Byakuya looks at him, only seeing another Aizen; another monster willingly to kill lives for his selfish actions, especially the place that belongs to Kurosaki. He owes that boy a lot; for his sister and his philosophy as a brother rather than a man of the law.
''Kurosaki has already told me plenty about you and I have no interest to spare you. You are his enemy thus you are an enemy of Soul Society and life itself.'' He declares proudly, going to do what he must to stop such evil from damaging his home. He raises his Zanpakuto before twirling it upside down and utters out, dropping it. ''Bankai.''
The sword hits a pond-like ground as it fades away and before Akumu knows it, multiple large blades raise from the ground, surrounding them.
''Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.'' Byakuya proclaims as he raises his hand forward as all the giant blades glow and glow pink, transforming into thousands of thousands pink petals. They all fly right at Akumu in all directions, slamming their sharp blades upon him.
Byakuya observes, confused if the enemy has a death wish for letting his attack-
His train-of-thoughts are interrupted as a pillar of black flames, burning away all of the petals and reveals the Dark Lord floating in the air, smirking with his arms crossed and his body covered in black flames.
''My Black Flame Armor protects me from your silly sharp petals. So I suggest you-'' The black dragon begins to mock the Shinigami until Byakuya waves his other hand as massive waves of petals form and slam themselves upon the black dragon, blasting him from one direction and then to another. They're slamming him around like ping-pong before a wave slams him downward onto the ground.
Byakuya looks down and to his dismay the Dark Lord is standing up, showing some scratches but they're regenerating slowly with a smug grin.
''Is that all you got?'' The black dragon mocks his attack, brushing off the damage with a swipe of his claw. Byakuya is visibly shocked as he raises both hands as all the waves of pink petals fly downward at him. The Dark Lord proceeds to breath out Black Flame Inferno as he spins around, making it resemble a twister that burns through all the waves of petals, leaving none.
However, Byakuga appears behind the Dark Lord with Shunpo as the black dragon feels him and turns around.
''HADO #4: BYAKURAI.'' Raising his left hand's index and middle finger together, Byakuya proclaims firing a powerful lightning shot meant to hit through his chest… except the Dark Lord roars out. ''DARK LIGHTNING BLAZER!'' The lightning is suddenly redirected around the black dragon as it hits the tip of his right index claw.
''I don't have time to play with my food this time.'' He proclaims as he turns and raises that same claw, releasing a dark lightning blast that Byakuya barely guards with a wall of petals but the attack still pierces through the wall. The Shinigami pulls backwards, gasping as blood leaks from his wounds. He has to end the fight now, uttering out. ''SENKEI!''
The scattered petals glow and fly around them before they become floating swords, numbering in the thousands, which form four rows. These rows float just above each other, and circle around Byakuya and the Dark Lord in a continuously moving, column-like array, sealing them inside.
The black dragon looks around him and scoffs, unimpressed. He looks at Byakuya who raises his hand and 1 of the floating glowing swords appears in his hand and takes the form of his Zanpakuto. He comes at him with swiftness but the black dragon responds with his claws, sparks flying out before pulling back. Byakuya manifests a second sword to counter the other claw of the dragon, trying to stab him which goes deep into his arm and forms another sword to cut him down but his tail blocks and shatters the sword.
He pulls back as the black dragon rips off the sword in his arm.
''Kurosaki fought against the law of Soul Society because he found it unfair how it was used against my sister. He wished to change the laws I was blindly protecting over my own sister.'' Byakuya begins to declare a speech, having made mistakes and now he will redeem them. ''I will not make that same mistake. I will protect the home he cares deeply.''
The Dark Lord looks at him before he smirks, roaring. He manifests his two extra dragon heads, each one roaring as his body is consumed in a pitch black aura with red lining coursing through his body like red veins, his claws engulfed in red flames and each of his head's eyes glowing pure red.
''Funny thing about protecting something you love…'' The black dragon starts saying as he suddenly vanishes and appears right behind him, grinning as he had already seen into his memories; his darkness, his greatest loss. ''It doesn't bring back your dead wife.''
Byakuya immediately widens his eyes with such hate and fury as he turns around with a strong swing only to get tail whip away with ease. All three of the black dragon's heads grin to see him act in such impulse. Arkham overhears that, snickering as he forgot the Dark Lord can read one's mind though he wonders if it works on the weak minded or rather those this emotional or dragged onto something precious.
''And this makes my victory that much easier!'' The Dark lord shouts excitedly as all three heads breathe out multiple fireballs at him. Byakuya slashes them, losing a sword but summons another to replace his lost weapon with an enraged gaze. He won't forgive such a demon for what he said as his body erupts in white Spiritual Energy. The black dragon stops and watches with a smug smirk.
''You will vanish from this world!'' Emerging from the white energy, Byakuya proclaims as he welds a pure white bladed sword with pure white wings form on Byakuya's back, as well as a halo-like circle, made of concentrated spiritual energy. His aura even takes the form of a bird, chirping out loudly. To think he would resort to using Hakuteiken but this will settle things in one blow.
He soon charges forward, flying right at the black dragon who stands there with all 3 heads, grinning excitedly. Byakuya comes at such speed at him, nearly in range… until the Dark Lord roars, charging at the Shinigami as his body erupts in Black Flame Armor and then he spins around rapidly.
''BLACK FLAME HURRICANE!'' All 3 heads roar, spinning faster and faster as the flames become a massive fiery storm of black flames. Byakuya panics as he still thrusts forward into the black flames only for this storm to spin and spiral rapidly and hotter. This power was too much for the Shinigami, doing his hardest to penetrate deeper until the hurricane finally overpowers him and explodes.
Mustang watches in worry as the storm ceases as Byakuya crashes into the ground, burned across most of his body and the Dark Lord emerges. He laughs proudly, finding that enjoyable as he demands for a greater challenge. ''Who's-''
''RIGHT BEHIND YOU!'' Immediately dashing behind him, the black dragon is suddenly cut from his back by Kenpachi's unsharpened blade. Evangeline actually startles a bit as the Shinigami's slash cuts right through the Dark Lord, splitting him in half.
Sighing disappointedly, Kenpachi rests his sword over his shoulder as he comments with a scowl. ''That was it? Hell, that was damn too-'' He speaks too soon as the two halves of the Dark Lord suddenly slam themselves onto the other and literally reattach themselves together. This shocks the Shinigami as the wound from his slash heals instantly. The black dragon turns around, his gaze towards that Shinigami rather unimpressed.
''Was that all?'' The dragon snorts as he then proceeds to breathe a Black Flame Inferno, his flames consuming the Shinigami in his flames instantly. Laughing like a murderous psychopath as the flames are blown away by yell energy that briefly shaped itself as a skull face, Kenpachi emerges with a grin as his eyepatch was burned away, releasing his full power.
''I was hoping to fight you without full power BUT LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!'' The berserk Shinigami laughs as he swings his Zanpakuto right at him with multiple, stronger swings. The dark humanoid dragon doesn't bother blocking or repelling the attacks as each deep cut is instantly healed up. However, as Kenpachi swings a stronger downward swing; the Dark Lord's tail immediately thrusts forward and blocks the slash and even coils around his sword.
This doesn't encourage Zaraki as he tries yanking the tail off his arm but instead he's pulled up by the black dragon, looking at him with a scowl.
''At least the other one bother to go all out against me.'' Akumu comments, feeling his massive raw Spiritual Energy but that's incomparable to releasing one's true potential and this man has yet to reach his. ''Pity.''
He raises his right claw, engulfed in black fiery aura as he shouts, slamming that claw across his face. ''DARKNESS CLAW!'' Kenpachi sweats as the intense fiery claw slams itself across his face with such force before the flames glow and explodes upon him. The impact sends the burned Kenpachi crashing into the ground. The Dark Lord smirks, having won until he panics to see Kenpachi rising up, grinning as he's still covered in flames. Growling, Akumu snaps his claws as the flames suddenly become spears that pierces and pins him into the ground and yet Kenpachi is laughing as the Dark Lord shoots down more spears to pin him all over. Akumu growls annoyed by this one.
Aizen feels that and smirks. Under other conditions, he would not want to fight Kenpachi as his stamina and endurance are monstrous but a monster like Akumu can actually challenge and suppress him.
The Dark Lord gazes at Unohana and scoffs, ordering her coldly as he knows she won't fight him. ''Go off to that brute. I'll deal with you later.''
She doesn't say a word as she flies down, astonished that the version of the Dark Lord is that strong.
Akumu now turns his sight to Mayuri, looking at him with a disturbing, grinning expression as the black dragon smirked evilly. ''How about you, madman?''
''You would make an excellent experiment. Oh yes, no doubt about it.'' The twisted scientist comments, having been watching his fights and can't help but want him badly. To understand his body structure, his powers and anything that will bring him interest. HE MUST HAVE HIM.
''Very well! Nemu!'' Mayuri begins to order his lieutenant who appears and bows to him. ''Yes, Captain.''
''Prepare the thing I made for this moment.'' He tells her as she nods, dashing away. Mayuri looks back at the dragon and grins, uttering out as he raises his Shikai sword form. ''Bankai!''
Purple mist covers around him and manifests out of it is a giant, caterpillar-bodied creature in a red cape. It has a golden baby's head and arms, and a silver halo hovers around its head. ''Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo!''
The Dark Lord scoffs, greatly unimpressed and disgusted by this thing.
''A big baby head isn't going to-'' He starts insulting him until the golden baby breathes out a smoke of purple poison, spreading and covering him.
''It's futile to survive Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo's poison. The only ones unaffected is yours truly while everyone else is basically their death sentence.'' Mayuri proclaims overconfidently. However, the Dark Lord roars and blasts the poison away from him. ''RRRAWWWRRRR!''
The Shinigami observes with a smug smirk, concluding by how the dragon doesn't look poisonous. ''Poison Immunity hmm?'' He then slowly grins widely.
The black dragon scowls irritatedly as he speaks up. ''I don't know what's funnier: Your little puff fog of death or-'' Suddenly, the Dark Lord stops speaking. In fact, he stops breathing and moving. He can't even move a muscle like he's become a solid statue. Mayuri flies towards the black dragon, seeing him like he's a stone statue and slowly forms a wide grin.
''Ah, as expected! My genius is unbounded!'' Mayuri proclaims pridefully on his genius as he explains. ''You see Nemu collected your blood from your last encounter against the Dragon Knight and even his blood too.'' He scowls a bit about requesting to meet that human child and ''test'' him but he was warned firmly to not even be close to him.
''I'm forbidden to touch the human boy but his blood served an excellent substitution; studying and testing his and your blood for any possible weaknesses.'' Mayuri further explains, doing these experiments for the protection of Soul Society and of course his own curiosity. ''And thus, I created the perfect paralysis; flawless and perfect against even against you dragons or half-dragons.''
The Dark Lord doesn't even blink or move in response to this. Mayuri snickers, forgetting to shut his mouth since he'll die now.
''Now then…'' He proclaims, raising his sword up. ''I believe our game is over. I look forward experimenting on your body.'' He thrusts his sword at the paralyzed dragon and stabs… and it is instead caught by dragon claws. Mayuri widens his eyes as his sword is caught by the Dark Lord's claw, smirking evilly.
''Paralysis, you say?'' Akumu questions him with a humorous smirk. ''Hate to disappoint you but us dragons are unaffected by such effects just like poison. In fact, the moment I froze lasted for less than a second!''
Mayuri is shocked, meaning he was pretending to be paralyzed just to mock him.
''But then again, science always underestimates the unknown.'' The black dragon comments with a scowl before he slams his other claw and sends him crashing onto his Bankai, smacking both through a building.
Evangeline watches from below and smirks; not surprised that Darkus was playing around.
The Dark Lord watches as Mayuri floats out of the building, wounded and his Bankai damaged but he ignores this pain by the mere expression of surprise.
''That… that can't be. I tested-'' He begins to question this variable that stunned him. How did this- He soon understood in awe. ''Of course, your organ system adapts and improves!'' The Shinigami grits his teeth and grins widely, finding this so much more impressive than his own immune system. ''NOW I MUST HAVE YOUR BODY!''
The Dark Lord looks down at him as Mayuri then proclaims excitedly. ''Behold the glory of my genius! I modified my poison that it will atomized your cells and body piece by piece in less than a microsecond.''
The black dragon looks puzzled as Mayuri shouts at his lieutenant. ''Nemu!'' She bows from a distance, pulling out a hand device switch and presses it. The Dark Lord sees it and quickly roars, clapping both his claws upon the other. ''DARKNESS GRAVITY!'' A burst of dark gravitation pulse echoes across his body. At that moment, nothing happened to the black dragon to Mayuri's surprise.
''Why didn't-'' He begins to question until he's suddenly pulled right towards the Dark Lord and just like that is stopped right in front of him. He feels his limbs and bones in place, squeezed apart by an unknown force.
''Confused now? Good.'' Akumu proclaims with a smug smirk, loving to see his opponent in this helpless position as he now explains himself. ''My Darkness Gravity allows me to bind anything I desire with my power. That includes all forms of liquids and gasses, like your poison, and compresses them back to nothing.''
Now that causes Mayuri to crack a small laugh, expressing rather dumbfounded. ''My, and I was under the impression you were just a brute.''
''I appreciate your honest opinion no less your intelligence.'' Akumu then says, seeing that this Shinigami is different from the other fools and begins to give him an offer. ''Why don't you join my side hmm? You'll do what you want with no if or-''
''Hahaha!'' The Dark Lord is staggered by Mayuri's sudden laughter, calming down as he smirks and declines. ''Oh it would be so much easier to do so but you're right; I am quite smart and know better than to side with the enemy. That's why Aizen would have never recruit me into his little traitorous group; I would betray him in an instant or else I would be hunted down by Soul Society thus no research, no time to play.''
''… What a twisted sense of loyalty.'' The black dragon mutters, taking back his word as this man is just Orochimaru but with a damaged moral compass. He snorts. ''So be it.'' He roars as he charges up a black sphere of energy from between his fangs and roars, releasing it. ''DARK COMET DESTRUCTION BURST!''
He fires his destructive black energy shaped comet attack, slammed upon the paralyzed Mayuri and the comet crashes him onto the ground before it explodes.
''Captain!'' Nemu yells out in hurry, dashing away to aid her master.
The Dark Lord snarls, letting her go as he proclaims. ''Now that I'm done with them…'' His eyes lock towards Yamamoto as he grins. ''It's just you and me, old geezer.''
The Dark Lord and his forces appear with an explosive intro. Will they continue the pressure in this way-way lock?
To be continued…

Next Time…
The three-way battle between Soul Society and allies Vs Aizen and his army and the Dark Lord and his army rages on as the dark dragon now engages the Gotei 13's Head Captain, the strongest Shinigami with the most powerful Zanpakuto. Will the Dark Lord he's all bark or will bring dread upon those foolish to challenge him?
Arkham: So the Dark Lord will gladly show his full power against the so-called ultimate Shinigami hmm.
Evangeline: Akumu will win. His power will bloom and destroy all.
Dark General Knight simply nods.
Akumu: I will show you flames beyond flames! Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Power of a Name! Demonic Flames Vs Eternal Flames!
Evangeline looks at her script and scoffs: Not even Negima ever made me do this. FINE. Fine… *coughs* Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time. *blushes angrily* Who enjoys this nonsense?
Author's Note: Again, I needed to do this for reasons and stuff involving the past like Aizen and Mustang knowing each other. This will be covered... before DKR reaches its end. All part of the plan.
And of course the Dark Lord, his allies and early established Executioners (not the full version yet) entering this battlefield.
Next time it will be… well… you know, so let's see who gets burned first.
