(OPENING 1: Diver by NICO Touches the Walls from Naruto Shippuden)

Volume 6: Chapter 15: The Power of a Name! Demonic Flames Vs Eternal Flames!

Previously in DKR:

Aizen and his forces arrived at Karakura Town to manifest his Soul Key to enter the palace of the Soul King. However, Soul Society stands in his path as does Mustang and his group, wanting to settle the score with the man that betrayed Takao all those years ago.

However, the Dark Lord also entered the battlefield with his forces and his newly established Executioners. Sasuke showed the fruits of his training, sniping down multiple Arrancars with little difficulty.

Akumu disposed of Byakuya, Kenpachi and Mayuri first off before going after the true target: Head Captain Yamamoto. Will the Dark Lord's flames prove too much or will he be burned instead?

What will happen next?

And now the conclusion... last left off:

Hollows scream as they're getting clawed, pierced, burned and bitten through by the Dark Lord's Darkling Hunters and Soldiers; easily overpowering them with brute force. Vlad is also assisting, yawning as he wants to join the main fight but he wants to wait until Danny arrives and he knows he will.

Omaeda watches from his hiding spot, seeing as his captain is clashing blades against the human who took down the Arrancar she was about to put down.

Sui-Feng tries to land one strike on the enemy but Sasuke's Sharingan eyes and his training allow him to keep up with her superior speed with his superior reflexes. She snarls, mad by how she can't land a hit on him.

''You have some nerve if you think you can challenge me.'' The Shinigami mocks his attempts to fight her. Sasuke makes no response, simply looking at her with no interest or concerns of his ''opponent''. Sui-Feng glares at the human as she asks him. ''Do know I am head of the Onmitsukido; stealth and assassination.''

Once more, Sasuke does not acknowledge her. Scoffing, Sui-Feng vanishes like nothing before Sasuke could react even with his superior eyes as she appears behind him. She soon tells him from his ear like a whisper. ''That means your little attempts to kill me are nothing more but a warm-up to me.''

She proceeds to thrust her blade at his neck only to get blocked by the Susanoo rib cage forming. Then a skeleton arm forms and Sasuke turns around as that arm swings around right towards her but she dodges, pulling away.

''You done?'' Sasuke now questions her, looking at her still uninterested. Sui-Feng snarls as she comes at him. Sasuke drops his Susanoo as he utters out. ''Shadow Armor.'' Magical wraps around him in the form of dark shadows, taking on the form of a black cloak. He soon dashes at her as Sui-Feng thrusts her sword but Sasuke parries it with his arm. Sparks fly out to her shocked as the sleeve of his magical cloak is repelling her attack and not causing any damage to him.

In that moment, Sasuke then relaxes his bones and enables Cantus Bellax to buff his hand-to-hand combat. He proceeds to perform swift palm strikes/punches and kicks so fast and strong that it knocks the Shinigami backwards and crashes onto the wall of a building, pinning her there.

Sasuke's left eye bleeds as he shouts, taking aim towards her. ''AMATERASU!'' He shoots out his black flames

Sui-Feng evades with Shunpo as she moves so fast around Sasuke in all directions, leaving behind duplicate afterimages of herself all around him.

''What's wrong?'' Each one begins to ask him in a taunt. ''Can't tell who's the real one?''

Sasuke looks around him, greatly disappointed as if she was Naruto. He claps his hands as he shouts, his left eye still bleeding as he opens to show both his active Mangekyou Sharingan eyes. ''BLAZE RELEASE: KAGUTSUCHI!'' Multiple black flames shoot out and take the form of spears that hit through every one of the afterimages, dissolving them.

The real Sui-Feng dodges with her greater speed as she comes at him. Sasuke, however, responds with the spell Shundo, moving so much faster than before to match Sui-Feng's Shunpo. This shocks her as Sasuke kicks her backwards and suddenly she's smacked across the head by the faster Uchiha, sending her crashing onto the ground but lands on her feet.

She looks up as the Uchiha lands on top of a rooftop, looking down at her. This kid is getting under her nerves. She'll have no choice but to put him down.

"Sting all Enemies to Death…" Sui-Feng begins to proclaim as her short sword glows and transforms around her right arm, becoming a wrist blade that resembles a stinger. ''Suzumebachi!''

She flies right at Sasuke who utters out. ''Fuyuujutsu!'' He leaps up and starts to actually fly to the Shinigami's shock. Is he even a human to be able to do that?!

''What the hell are you?'' She demands but Sasuke doesn't answer as he instead starts chanting right above her. "Ever-burning fire of purification, Lord of destruction and sign of rebirth, Spring forth from my hand and throttle my enemy!''

He raises his left arm, aiming down at her as he shouts. ''RED BLAZE!'' He releases a powerful torrent of flames towards her, so hot that they will burn her intensely.

Sui-Feng isn't going to test this as she shouts, swirls of wind surrounding her. ''SHUNKO!'' She releases a powerful pulse of spiritual energy in the form of wind, piercing and blowing the flames instantly. The sheer force also blasts Sasuke off the air and hits onto a wall hard, pinning him. Sui-Feng smirks as she dashes right at him.

''Nigeki Kessatsu!'' She shouts, thrusting her stinger at him to strike him twice on the same spot and instantly kill him. However, her attack never touches him as a powerful wind magical barrier blocks the stinger of her weapon, blocking her.

''Deflexio.'' Sasuke utters out, forming an ice magical barrier at the last moment, blocking her attack on the spot.

''My turn…'' He now utters as a burst of purple energy flows all over him, actually blasting Sui-Feng backwards. She watches in shock as his clothed, half-body Susanoo manifests, showing its massive terror upon the Shinigami Captain. She hisses, coming at him with a thrust of her Shikai but the stinger merely hits the surface of this giant. She can't pierce through the sheer energy avatar of the Susanoo. Then Susanno avatar manifests its purple energy sword tip arrow and swings it at her, hitting and sending her crashing through multiple buildings.

Omaeda is left horrified from his spot, his body quivering as he's never seen the captain getting beaten up so badly like this before. He grits his teeth as he has to do something; he is a Shinigami and a damn good one! The best there-

His thoughts are cut short as he panics, seeing the human looking at him. He drops on his butt and trembles in panic to Sasuke's disgust, scoffing as he leaps up and flies in the air to spot that Shinigami on a rooftop.

Sui-Feng breathes heavily, realizing she can't beat this human the way she is. Damn, to think she would result in that but with that avatar he can summon to protect himself and his reflex; this is her best option.

''… No choice.'' She makes up her mind, going to use it. ''I was hoping to avoid this all together but I lack the firepower.''

Sasuke looks at her, not following what she's-

Sui-Feng suddenly manifests and wraps a heavy metal sash around the building she's standing on and relaxes before she shouts. ''Bankai!'' A pillar of Spiritual Energy shoots into the air in that moment before fading. Sasuke observes and slowly widens his eyes as the woman now has a large, gold armor missile launcher base that encases Sui-Feng's right arm, and comes all the way above her shoulder to form a face shield that she uses to cover the right side of her face. The missile itself is a large pointed gold cylinder with black markings, twice the size of Sui-Feng herself. "Jakuho Raikoben!''

Omaeda is paralyzed in shock that his captain is going to use Bankai of all things. She really hates using it which means she's not holding any punches.

Sui-Feng takes aim with her shield, the missile locking onto Sasuke. In her thoughts; she can't believe that she has to resort to this but she needs to beat him before Aizen's army tries anything.

''This next shot will settle things.'' She proclaims as she doesn't waste time and fires the missile, cracking the building she's on as the large missile flies right towards Sasuke. He too doesn't waste time, igniting Amaterasu as the black flames penetrate through the missile and sets it up, exploding. The radius is massive as Sasuke guards with both a half body clothed Susanoo and the spell, Water Current Barrier; surrounding him in a water-like barrier.

Sui-Feng watches with a small smirk as the explosion spreads across the sky and consumes her target. Even if he blew up the missile beforehand; no one should be able to survive-

However, she widens her eyes to see Sasuke floating in the sky, unfazed and guarded by his Susanoo avatar and the spell he placed. She can't believe this, finding this impossible.

''That's not-'' Sui-Feng starts uttering out loud until Sasuke vanishes. She panics as she turns to see Sasuke now coming at her side, extending his left arm as his hand is engulfed in electricity.

''CHIDORI!'' He shouts, thrusting it at her but Sui-Feng ducks and uppercuts him into the sky with a kick. She starts to revert out of Bankai as she's too slow and she can only fire 1 more missile. However, she was too slow and kicked into the air, Sasuke began to chant. ''Come from the void, oh thunder, and cut down my enemy!''

His Chidori hand and arm start releasing more electricity, flying all over him with Chakra and Magic coursing through him.

is an offensive spell where the user makes a motion which destroys the target with an intense electric attack. While the attack has a limited area of effect, its short incantation makes it very effective at close to medium range.

''AXE OF LIGHTNING…'' Sasuke starts shouting, swinging that same arm as a downward-sweeping at Sui-Feng as it is enhanced to its limit with Lightning Chakra Element added in. ''CHIDORI COMBO!'' He fires a powerful, intense lightning blast that consumes Sui-Feng with such blinding speed and explodes just as fast in impact. The electric attack explodes and destroys the whole building as Sui-Feng crashes onto the ground, unconscious as electrical discharges fly out across her body from the attack.

''C-CAPTAIN!'' Widening his eyes in a hurry, Omaeda runs over to his captain's fallen body. Sasuke scoffs, letting him as he now turns his sight towards Barragan, still sitting on his chair.

''You have some nerve killing my men-'' The once Hollow King begins to proclaim only for the young Uchiha to silence and snipes him with Amaterasu… only to consume the throne chair he was sitting on. Sasuke scoffs, trying to track him and sees him just above him.

Forced to stand up to such a fragile human; Barragan will make him suffer for killing his men.

''Now let me show you that all things die.'' He announces, summoning forth his axe-like weapon. Sasuke gazes up coldly, gripping on his katana tightly.


In the other battle; The Tres Bestias, forced to use their Resurrección forms, are still struggling to evade the rapid, powerful piercing fiery energy beams.

''DAMN BITCH!'' Apacci yells out furiously as she and Mila Rose try to get close only to be forced to pull back by Selvaria's constant spamming her beam attacks from her lance. Sung-Sun slitters behind the Valkyria to attack her only to get nearly bitten by Houndoom, breathing out a burst of Flamethrower at her. She tries to still attack her but Selvaria repels it with her force-field emitting shield, blocking any of her attacks before shooting at her. Sung-Sung dodges and flies back to the others, groaning at how annoying this is.

''Why can't we hit her!'' Mila Rose even complains, finding this unbearable. The only reason they can't do anything is thanks to Selvaria's training in that dimension to let her gain this new speed and reflex. It helps that her training partner is immortal, letting her go all out to practice and improve her flames.

''Doom!'' Houndoom barks, releasing a powerful Dark Pulse that nearly stabs through the Tres Bestias at the same time.

''BAD DOG!'' Sung-Sun yells out in panic, flying for help like the other two.

Rangiku watches, pretty overwhelmed, this strange white haired human with a lance and shield is handling those 3 female Arrancars on their own. Before she showed up; she was going to have to fight them though she did have Momo's assistance.

''Rangiku-san, is she an ally?'' Momo asks, puzzled, having been brief about this Team Dragon Knight. ''Could she be that human girl with the same weapons that helps this Dragon Knight?''

''I kinda doubt it, Momo-chan.'' Rangiku openly admits; certain she's not here to help them.

The Tres Bestias charge at Selvaria in all directions who now thrusts her lance with such speed that she's striking ten-times in a row at the same time. The 3 Arrancars are forced to dodge around the thrusts, not believing a mere human is this fast.

''Blue Flame…'' Breathing out calmly, Selvaria raises her lance to the sides as flames ignite across it before she swings her lance and releases a fiery blue wave at them. The wave erupts fast and instant as the 3 Arrancars barely dodges them.

''WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!'' Apacci and Mila Rose both yell out in distress, finding this so unfair when clearly they have the advantage. Sung-Sun sighs as she bosses both of them with a calm tone. ''Focus, you two. Harribel-san is depending on us to win.''

The two groan towards her but she's right. They all agree as they charge up their Ceros in synch, vibrating the sky by their combined power. Selvaria stands her ground, staring calmly as all three shout. ''TAKE THIS!'' They all fire a 3-way Cero that combines together into a massive blast.

The blast is about to consume Selvaria but she raises his shield as the fiery aura expands around her and Houndoom who forms a Protect, overlaying along with her barrier. The massive beam hits across the surface of the reinforced barriers, trying to puncture through but ultimately the beam gives out as the combined barrier holds.

This shocks the 3 Arrancar girls with Sung-Sun the most shocked, uttering out. ''S-She tanked it?!''

This looked really bad for them until Apacci suggested. ''… Ayon time?'' This shocks the other two with Mila Rose protesting. ''What?! Against her?! She's-''

They're interrupted by nearly getting hit by another of Selvaria's intense blue flame beams as the barrier surrounding her vanishes. They grunt, partly burned for missing way too late as she feels bored. She takes her sight to the enemies and begins shooting out powerful penetrating torrents of blue flames towards Harribel and Hitsugaya. The two were trying to have their own fight until they saw the fiery beam and dodge out of the way.

''Don't attack Toshiro! He didn't-'' Momo speaks up upsetly only to get silence by Selvaria's firm, serious gaze as she shoots a blast at her and Rangiku who barely dodge it.

''Any who stands in my way is my enemy.'' She proclaims with Houndoom howling. ''DOOM!''


Nearby, Metal Sonic stares down at his numerous foes with sharp, narrowed pupil eyes while remaining completely, utterly silent.

Lilynette groans unease by the robotic entity just staring at them, hiding behind Starrk who sighs annoyed as heck.

''So that's a robot huh?'' Ukitake questions with a puzzled face before he smiles, astonished by human's technological advances. ''Well, humans have really gone far with their-'' His words are cut off as Metal Sonic flies at top speed at him, thrusting his claw but misses the Captain who tries to swing at him with the same speed. It slashes through the robot only to reveal it was an afterimage with the real Metal far away from him.

''Fast little thing.'' Shunsui comments with a smug smirk; adjusting his large straw hat. He then approaches the robot, asking him. ''Say, you want to play a game? I'm sure even a piece of metal understands what-''

He stops, realizing that the robot has yet to even speak a single sentence. He sighs in a carefree tone, concluding. ''I take it you don't speak.''

Metal just glares as he comes at him. Shunsui smirks as he engages the robot, crossing swords to sharp metal claws. Sparks fly out from their attacks as Metal is clearly faster in every way but Shunsui can respond to his movement with his own.

Ukitake watches, able to tell his friend is still holding back. Wish he could detect if the robot could be also-

''This is boring…'' Uttering out at this pointless fight, Starrk raises his hand in a gun hand gesture and fires a quick fired Cero at the two. Shunsui manages to dodge but so does Metal, partly burned for nearly touching it. Starrk proceeds to fire even more Cero shots, forcing the two to dodge around them with most nearly hitting them.

''Starrk, hit that thing!'' Lilynette complains at Starrk's aim for taking out the tin can first. Starrk groans, trying to focus to shoot both of them as he yells at his partner. ''Stop yelling! I'm trying.'' He fires even faster than one of the beams is about to consume the robot. However, Metal vanishes at the last second, evading the blast from hitting him. This surprises the Premiera Espada as Metal reappears and slowly turns his head halfway, its black, red pupil eye gazing upon him ominously.

Metal now charges at him as Starrk fires more shots that Metal evades with ease, able to keep up with the beams with his processors improving where to evade them. He comes at Starrk with a claw swing that Starrk easily dodges, even grabbing Lilynette before she fights the thing.

''He is fast.'' Shunsui comments, wondering if that blue rat creature comrade of the Dragon Knight is the same as fast.

''Shunsui, I have a plan.'' Ukitake speaks up, realizing that there's a way to stop the machine. Kyoraku nods to what his friend has in mind.

Metal looks around, scanning where the Espada could have-

''Hey, um…'' Metal turns to Shunsui who blinks at him awkwardly. ''Do you plan to attack or-''

Responding to his question, Metal Sonic immediately charges at him now with insane speed only to miss him entirely. This shocks the robot as Kyoraku is now on his side, smirking.

''Not so fast, aren't we?'' He taunts the robot but Metal turns around with a menacing glare, coming at him as he's surrounded its black diamond sphere. Shunsui doesn't waste time, he chants, leaping backwards to distance himself from his enemy and even pulls out his other sword. "The Flowery Winds Become Disturbed, The God Of Flowers Sings, The Heavenly Winds Become Disturbed, The Devil Of Heaven Sneers."

Kyoraku sets the two blades against each other in a cross, and then pulls away as a flash of light. Metal is unaffected by the flash but not the strong sword swings, repelling and cracking his barrier. Metal backs away to see that his swords have changed into a pair of huge, black, heavily curved Chinese scimitars with silver edges. The hilt and tsuba of each are still the same as they were before but they now sport long red tassels dangling from the end.

''Katen Kyokotsu!'' Shunsui announces as he smiles at the robot. ''Now how about a game hmm?''

Metal looks at him, not following. Shunsui raises an eyebrow as he can hear his Zanpakuto, talking to him for once and she's not happy about this.

''What? He doesn't-'' He starts speaking up, out loud in surprise by whatever she's telling him. ''Hmm… How is he-'' He pauses again, interrupted by his nag of a Zanpakuto spirit as he understands. ''I see. Well that sucks.''

Metal watches, finding this irritated as he's still talking to himself or the sword. ''Why are you complaining? The other guy can play the game though.'' He soon snickers at another scold from his Zanpakuto. ''Oh you.''

Metal lowers its head slightly, finding this irritated and stupid. So much so, Metal Sonic begins to glow and transforms into his Neo form, proclaiming in a cold, robotic voice. ''I am done listening to you speak to yourself.''

This takes everyone by surprise, even Starrk who was about to fire at them again from above.

''… You talk?'' Shunsui questions, finding that astonishing. Neo Metal, instead of responding, raises his right claw and fires a powerful pulse of lightning right at him.

"All Ye Waves, Become My Shield. All Ye Thunder, Become My Blade" Chanting as he moves right in front of his friend, Ukitake raises his blade with both his hands. The blade then transforms slowly, and begins to form two blades. As the blades peel apart, a large red rope-like chain at the base of the hilt lengthens, and silver metal square charms attached to the chain begin to fall, until all five present themselves. The blade is now somewhat thinner than the sealed Zanpakuto, and the tsuba now extends a little bit up the blade.

''Sogyo no Kotowari!'' He shouts as he thrusts his left gripped blade forward and as the lightning hits it, a similar lightning blast shoots out from the right blade and hits Neo Metal to its surprise. The robot staggers back, repelling the discharge. His processor was able to detect that his attack was absorbed, conducted through that connected cable, growing in power and firing it back from the right blade in such a way that it resembles that he fired it instead.

But Neo Metal brushes off his own attack, proclaiming. ''Electrocution is futile.''

Ukitake frowns, hoping that would work but Shunsui is still capable of doing something now that the robot speaks. However, Starrk fires a larger Cero down at Neo Metal who repels with a stronger black barrier. He looks up at the Espada, proclaiming firmly. ''Attacking me is also futile.'' He looks around and lets out a deep whistle.

''Shinigami and Arrancar…'' Neo Metal begins to declare as his eyes glow. ''Transform to your full power and die before the greatness of the Eggman Empire.''

Suddenly, multiple variants of Silver Sonic and Mecha Sonic surround Neo Metal, all of them under his control. ''Your attempts will still be all meaningless!''


The Dark Lord watches around him, smirking as things are turning out as he foresaw.

''Hehe Your forces are losing to mines.'' The black dragon cackles towards Yamamoto, proclaiming his victory as he further mocks him. ''But you know; beating their leader will truly inflict the greatest blow and cause them to all to fall.''

Yamamoto stares both irritated and enraged towards the black dragon. His biggest concern is Aizen, not him and it's pissing him off.

His Lieutenant, Chojiro Sasakibe, appears in front of his Head Captain and proclaims firmly towards the demonic dragon. ''You talk much, monster.'' He then requests his captain. ''Head Captain, leave this to me.''

The Head Captain is visibly surprised by his Lieutenant's decision. He ordered him to protect Soul Society but he require to come and be of help.

''I haven't seen you so willingly to jump into battle like this, Chojiro…'' He expresses, recalling the last time was against the Quincy. The old man soon snickers as he accepts his decision. ''Go!''

Chojiro nods firmly as he dashes at the Dark Lord only to be intercepted by the Dark General, standing in his path.

''I believe my lord wants to fight your commander. I will gladly become my lord's shield against a worthless pest like you.'' The dark knight proclaims, raising his right hand and the Shinigami is suddenly thrusted away as he chases right after him.

The Dark Lord smirks as he gazes now to the Head Captain and declares. ''Now that our second-in-commands will fight, we should do the same. But first…'' He takes on a fighting pose, extending his claws forward and sharply as his dragon pupils sharpen too. ''Show me your full power, your Bankai.''

Yamamoto can't help but snarl at his ludicrous request. No sane being would want to fight a Shinigami with Bankai, no less someone like him.

''You're more naïve if you think you're worthy to fight my Bankai.'' He responds harshly at his demands; not just for how insane it sounds but also the risk of simply activating his Bankai could do? It could be capable of burning and inflaming the whole world in its fire.

The Dark Lord smirks, seeing doubt in the man's face as he further taunts him. ''What's wrong? You think I'm little more than a nuisance? Please, I can feel your desire to kill everything that stands in the way of your peaceful order.''

Yamamoto makes no response but Akumu doesn't need one; he can feel it. Those hellish flames of battle; of annihilating all of his enemies. He can read it all and smirks, mocking his lieutenant's earlier statement. ''That comment about me being a monster should have gone both ways. You've become soft since a 1000 years ago. I guess beating him would make such a monster like yourself to become more tamed, no?''

Once more, the Head Captain refuses to acknowledge him, especially for bringing up his-

''I wonder if Yhwach is still alive, hmm?'' The Dark Lord suddenly questions, mentioning the so-called Quincy God; the greatest enemy for all realms. That hit Yamamoto's patience as he responded firmly. ''My Shikai will be enough to burn through your very existence.''

The Dark Lord just grins menacingly as he manifests his two extra dragon heads, each one roaring powerfully. They all soon start charging spheres of destructive black flames in the form of spheres.

Yamamoto holds forward his cane as he utters out. "All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes…" The cane incinerates as Yamamoto grabs onto the hidden sword within the cane and swings it forward. ''RYUJIN JAKKA!''

''TRIPLE BLACK FLAME INFERNO!'' All three of the Dark Lord's heads roar, breathing a three-way black flame blasts only to collide against Yamamoto's intense wave of flames.

Arkham watches with such interest as the flames become two clashing fire pillars.

''This fight should be interesting…'' He concludes, eager to see the process. Evangeline has no comment, looking down fixated but mainly concerned for Akumu. She wonders if this form is enough… or will he resort to his trump card.


Commercial Break:


Distancing themselves from anyone to interrupt them, Dark General swings his hand downward in a ducking motion as Chojiro is slammed on top of a rooftop. The dark knight looks back at the massive torrent of flames, confirming his lord is fighting against the strong Shinigami.

"It seems our leaders will endure the most intense of flames.'' Dark General proclaims, feeling the intense heat of these flames capable of touching and burning his soul too.

Chojiro stands up, having a firm expression being pushed away to face the dragon's commander but he is not afraid of him.

''You speak confident as if your master will win.'' He speaks up, confident his Head Captain will overcome him. Dark General simply gazes at the Shinigami as he responds in confidence. ''My lord will win, without a doubt.'' His red eyes glow through his helmet. ''And you, Shinigami, will fall before his greatness.''

Chojiro has heard enough as he raises his Zanpakuto up towards him and utters out. ''Pierce.'' His sword transforms into a Rapier. ''Gonryomaru!'' He soon charges at him as the dark knight charges forward and swings his greatsword, clashing steel.

They cross blades, parrying and reflecting the other's strikes over and over with perfect precision. However, Chijori can't seem to overpowered him as the Dark General begins to put pressure into his attacks. The Shinigami is tossed aside by a strong push as the dark knight shouts, swinging his claymore. ''DARKNESS BLADE SLASH!'' He fires a dark energy wave.

Chojiro dodges out of the way rather than to challenge it… only to get smack by the black clad knight's swinging arm and then smack with the back of his fist, sending him nearly crashing through a building. He shakes off, vanishing with Shunpo and swings his sword only for the Dark General to block it with his larger sword.

''Your toothpick can't hope to challenge my mighty claymore.'' The Dark General mocks the size of his enemy's sword before bashes him with his free arm but Chojiro dodges with Shunpo to get to his sides until the dark knight utters, moving his left hand to the spot his opponent would reappear. ''DARKNESS NIHIL!''

Chojiro appears in that spot only to get shocked as he screams stabbing across his left arm by the dark clad knight. The Dark General then proceeds to swing a punch at him but he'll dodge it with- Suddenly, the Shinigami feels off as he suddenly stops as if his Shunpo isn't working. The fist hits him across the face as the knight follows for another but Chojiro swings his sword.

''ECLIPSE SHOCK!'' Dark General shouts as he vanishes, evading the swing with ease. Chojiro staggers as his left arm is not working as the dark clad knight appears behind him with shock speed. The Dark General comes at his side with instant speed as he shouts, extending back his left arm. ''DARKNESS BLOW!'' He swings it forward, engulfed in a sphere of dark energy and nearly connects upon his opponent if he doesn't dodge with Shunpo.

The impact sends the Shinigami crashing through a building before crashing and sliding across the rooftop of another building. Chojiro grinds his feet across the surface of that rooftop to stop himself, gasping as he punches his impaled arm to regain its movement with a charge of Spiritual Energy added into it.

Dark General allows it as he then raises his left arm and shouts as a fiery black sphere forms in the palm of that hand. ''DARK FIREBALL BLAZE!'' The sphere grows and shoots out of his hand, moving fast right to the Shinigami. Chojiro sees it coming as he thrusts his rapier through the fireball, piercing through it, dissolving it. He then charges at top speed at the armored knight who still has his left arm up.

''DARK FORCE BARRIER GATE!'' The dark clad knight utters out, manifesting his hexagon energy shield barrier as it blocks the rapier's thrusting strike and actually reflects the Shinigami backwards.

Chojiro breathes heavily as the black knight lowers his arm as the barrier vanishes.

''Is that all?'' He questions the Shinigami, scoffing at his performance. ''Feeble example of your power.''

The Lieutenant doesn't reply, still breathing as this fight is not going well. He's more aggressive than Ichigo Kurosaki; much more dangerous if he too is holding back. However; he can't beat this wall through normal means… unless…

Frowning as he realizes that move is the key, Chojiro finally utters out. ''… Forgive me, Captain.'' He gazes down at the dark knight, refusing to lose when his captain needs him. ''I will not allow this false knight to best me.''

The dark knight looks at him puzzled as Chojiro raises his sword up towards him, aiming upward as he utters out. ''Bankai!'' Dark clouds begin to form above him. He then produces a bolt of lightning from the blade which extends and transforms into a dome of lightning, stationed far above his head and fastened to the ground by a large number of lightning pillars surrounding him.

''Koko Gonryo Rikyu!'' He proclaims firmly yet proud. Dark General watches this with a surprise gaze before he cackles a bit, speaking up. ''I see. I am surprised you have a Bankai but it will not-''

Chojiro aims with his sword as lightning suddenly shoots down from the dark cloud with such speed that it hits and pierces through the dark general to his dismay, leaving a hole through him. He staggered backwards as the Shinigami watches and briefly startles to see nothing but darkness inside the armor.

''I correct myself…'' Dark General begins to say, grunting, as he gazes as his opponent points once more and another lightning bolt comes down at him. The dark knight parries the lightning with his claymore as the armor begins to regenerate the hole. ''This will be much trickier than I thought.''

Meanwhile, blazing flames and hellish flames clash as Akumu's 3 mouth-way Black Flame Inferno is being overpowered by Yamamoto's flames. He soon pulls back as the center head stops breathing flames as the other two heads continue breathing their flames to stall for time. He immediately shouts, cupping his claws together as water gathers within his claws. ''DARK AQUA ACID!''

He shoots the acid dark sphere of liquid at the torrent of flames but the heat of the raging fire vaporizes the water within seconds.

''Tch, well that didn't work.'' He complains enraged as he then shouts, clapping his hands together. ''DARK TERRA SHATTER!'' Massive boulders are shot out from the ground at the flames but they melt within seconds of touching the fire.

Growling annoyed, the black dragon roars as his wings spread. ''DARK STORM BREAKER!'' Flapping them, his wings release a gale of dark winds upon the flames, actually pushing them towards its user but Yamamoto swings his Zanpakuto again and splits all attacks in half, dissolving them within seconds.

The other two heads of the Dark Lord stop breathing their attacks as the black dragon flies at the Shinigami who stands there. The dragon thrusts his right claw at him only to hit the air. He widens his eyes as the Head Captain is right beside him.

''ONIBI!'' Yamamoto shouts, thrusting his Zanpakuto but with the blunt hilt. The Dark Lord uses his right wing to intercept fast as it blocks the impact… only for this impact to punch a large hole in his guarded left wing. It causes the black dragon to roar in agony, spitting out blood as he roars out, reaching out with his right claw. ''DARKNESS GRAVITY!''

The Head Captain is suddenly pulled down and crashes onto the ground, pin down by the very ground. He struggles to get up but he's just pushing downward by what feels like 10x the human world's gravity. He's dropped to his knees, causing the Dark Lord to laugh as he crashes onto the ground but lands on his feet.

''WHAT'S WRONG?!'' He roars, almost sounding insane with a smug, tight teeth grin. ''I WAS EXPECTED MORE FROM-'' His words are suddenly cut off as he notices the Head Captain is on his knees… but praying? The old man is literally praying?!

Yamamoto soon stops and begins standing up, the full potential of his Spiritual Energy he unlocked with that prayer. The Dark Lord can't believe it, panicking in shock. ''H-how are you resisting my gravitation?!''

''You are naïve.'' The Head Captain simply utters out calmly, gazing at the black dragon as his eyes seemingly glow as if they're raging fire in them.

''My power, my will…'' He begins to proclaim as he walks up towards him, each foot step is like the area becomes hotter and hotter. ''Are raging flames! They have no such weight; only a burn that turns all into ashes!'' He soon dashes up so fast upon the Dark Lord as he thrusts his left fist, shouting. ''IKKOTSU!''

He swings and connects a powerful punch at the black dragon. However, the Dark Lord grins as his body is covered in Black Flame Armor, protecting himself. However, Yamamoto still punches and connects right through the black flames, literally piercing through them and striking through the side of the dragon's chest with such force that it blows a hole through him and sends him crashing down into the city street, destroying an entire block.

Yamamoto watches from the distances as he brushes off the black flames off his arm, finding them ticklish.

Akumu gasps in such pain, bleeding from all three of his mouths. He stands up, struggling as the hole begins to regenerate quickly but he shouldn't have taken this much damage. He was stronger, so MUCH stronger than before and yet; is this the difference of their levels?

Growling furiously to admit that, the black dragon roars across all three heads. The center head opens wide his jaw as a black sphere of flames forms in its fangs. The two other heads open their mouths and aim them towards the center, pouring and focusing their energies into the sphere to become stronger.

Yamamoto watches as he extends his Zanpakuto towards his back and takes aim, readying himself.

''TRY ANYTHING BECAUSE WITH THIS, YOU BURN INTO ASHES!'' The Dark Lord roars furious and pissed as he releases his charged up attack. ''ULTIMATE DARK COMET DESTRUCTION BURST!'' He breathes as the sphere vanishes and quickly becomes a destructive black fiery beam in the shape of a comet.

Seeing his chance, Yamamoto immediately shouts, swinging his sword forward. ''TAIMATSU!'' His swing releases a fiery, great inferno with a simple wave of Ryujin Jakka. The two waves collide upon the other as the Dark Lord's is empowered by the other heads' breathing their own flames but Yamamoto snarls, applying more pressure. Suddenly, his flames quickly burn even hotter and powerful, consuming the black dragon's attack. Then those same flames consume the Dark Lord too instantly and only him in a pillar of hellish flames. He roars in agony as the flames are enough to burn his two other heads in an instant.

''My lord!'' Dark General yells out in alarm, seeing that pillar and the screams of his master in that fire. He tries to assist him but he cannot, dodging Chojiro's lightning bolts.

Evangeline watches, frowning as she wishes to help him but he tells her firmly to not interfere; wishing to test himself without relying on that power. She sighs, finding him ridiculous and hoping he does use it or else his death will be one of her many mistakes.

Arkham has no interest to do anything, knowing one must die on their terms or define fate.

The Dark Lord roars in agony, trying to resist the flames burning across his dragon scales and even melting through them. Akumu can't understand this. He's become so much stronger; this should be-

He suddenly realizes 2 things: The Head Captain is a monster… and this is not his true power yet. He growls madly, knowing he can escape out of these flames somehow but he can't beat him unless he has that power. He grunts even madder, refusing to admit it but… he might be right.

He recalls the last time he spoke to King Darkness, the father of the Dark Lord, the great Overlord Dragon. He grits his fangs, hating to think that being was right but what choice does he have if he doesn't want to lose.

''I want to win…'' He utters out, lifting up his eyes up to the sky where Evangeline is watching him getting smoked. He can't let her think he's trashed when he's clearly more powerful. No, after finally earning her respect, his love; HE CAN'T ACCEPT THIS DEFEAT. He won't… he refuses to become unworthy again.

''… I knew I would have to make that choice; that the day I must reveal my name would have happened.'' The Dark Lord mutters out with a grumbling tone, accepting that he needs that power and thus accepts that man as more than just a stranger. ''… So be it, father. You get your wish.''

Yamamoto watches his fire burn his foe as he utters, turning his back away from the fight. ''Now burn away and scatter into the wind.'' He turns his sight towards the wall of flames that Aizen is inside. He starts walking towards that direction, going to settle things with-

''Darkness…'' Yamamoto suddenly stops walking, widening his eyes in alarm as he turns around just as the Dark Lord's voice erupts in a mighty roar. ''LIMIT!''

The pillar of flames suddenly changes colors from the orange red into a deep, dark crimson glow that pulses electricity. The flames have become chaotic, actually hellish in design. The Head Captain stares in silence but in shock that his flames have been consumed and changed into these more twisted flames. He soon sees a silhouette slowly walking within the raging flames.

''RRAAAWWWRRRR!'' A roar erupts from the silhouette, blowing and vanishing said flames within seconds. It's not just as the roar quakes across the whole city- no, half the world like an earthquake. Arkham has a widened yet intriguing gaze while Evangeline has a surprise expression. The violent quake even blows away the flames surrounding Aizen and his men as the former Shinigami forms a small smirk of interest.

The dissolving flames reveal the Dark Lord but his form has completely changed. His body has become more hardened and molten, skeleton-like scales with red cracking lining across his body. He gains new cracked coated claws, shoulders, waist, knee pads (each gaining a red glowing gem) and tail tip. His wrists have two burning small orbs attached in his arms, releasing a radiant of raging heat. His wings are coated in raging hellish flames in between each gap. His head has transformed, gaining new curly demonic horns as well as horns in between his cheek sides. His face looks more demonic as does his eyes are more ethereal large yellow demonic pupils and red sclera eyes as well as glowing, fiery fangs. He roars viciously, releasing his aura that shoots up into the sky and actually causes the sky to turn a bloody red across all of the fake Karakura Town.

Dark General stares astonished while Chojiro sees this and actually sweats in horror.

Sasuke, Selvaria and Metal Sonic all turn to that direction, actually terrified by what they're feeling.

''T-this is… What is this?'' Arkham begins to question, never feeling such power before; power that resembles an endless abyss. ''I was not expecting he had such a form!''

Evangeline watches in silence and slowly forms a small smirk.

Mustang and Armstrong are horrified by this form, something they have never seen the Dark Lord used before. What is this form? Or rather, to the Colonel's thoughts; is this what Takao warned him about all those years ago about the Dark Lord's true power.

Yamamoto glares cautiously as he theorizes. ''So this is your version to the Dragon Knight's Burst Limit.''

Smirking, the evolved dragon grins as he expresses, spreading his arms to the side. ''Amazing, isn't it? This is the true potential of the Dark Lord; the power I possess! I, Dark Leader Dragon-''

He suddenly starts laughing evilly to Yamamoto's confusion as he immediately corrects himself. ''No. That name no longer has any meaning. I will return back to the name you should remembered all too well; Darkus. Darkus the Dark Lord!''

He spreads his fiery wings and suddenly appears in the air. ''And this…'' He begins to announce as he roars powerfully. ''Is the hellish demonic flames of Chaos; my Chaos Form! Prepare to witness-''

''HITOTSUME: NADEGIRI!'' Using Shunpo to appear in front of the transformed dragon, Yamamoto shouts, swinging his sword with such extreme force and speed as he strikes him across the head to cut right through him and put him down. However…

Yamamoto immediately widens his eyes as Darkus catches his almost unseen, powerful sword swing with both his claws. Smirking as he wants to show him dread, the Dark Lord releases his grip as Yamamoto swings down and connects… but it couldn't even hope to cut deep into the dragon's durable scaled head. All it did was a bit of blood to leak out from his head, dripping and yet this blood is like hot lava, poking and melting a bit of the ground all while Darkus smirks, licking his blood.

''Impossible…'' Yamamoto utters, backing away fast but Darkus suddenly appears in front of him with such speed.

''Naive old fool.'' The dark dragon utters out as he then lets out a monstrous roar, swinging his fiery left claw at him. Yamamoto repels with a sword swing as they clash but the Dark Lord's claws push and slam him backwards. He comes at him with a right claw swing as Yamamoto repels once more with stronger force. They clash sparks but Darkus is swinging faster and harder, not slowing down as the Head Captain is shocked by the dragon's increased power.

''DARKNESS CHAOS CLAW!'' Extending his right claw as it radiates in dark red fiery energy, Darkus roars thrusting forward and strikes Yamamoto who guards but the impact explodes with such force that it sends the Shinigami crashing through a city block and explodes in hellish flames, melting and annihilating all that were consumed in the flames.

Darkus smirks as he flies down fast, flapping his wings to blow away the flames to see Yamamoto face down on the ground, grunting as he tries to get up.

''STAND UP, SHINIGAMI!'' The Dark Lord roars furiously, flying at Yamamoto and literally kicks him into the air. He then opens up its fang, heat emitting from his breath as a swirl of dark crimson flames form around his fang as Yamamoto stops himself in the air, glaring down at the monster.

''CHAOS FIREBALL BLAZE!'' He roars, breathing that sphere as it grows in size and becomes a massive, hellish dark red fireball that shoots upward towards the Shinigami. Yamamoto merely charges forward and thrusts his sword through the fireball, piercing and puncturing through it.

He doesn't even stop as Yamamoto charges at Darkus who watches. The Shinigami is now in range as he swings multiple strikes but each one barely cuts through the dragon's nearly indestructible scaled body. Yamamoto begins to get annoyed, igniting his sword in flames as he swings and the black dragon finally parries and repels his fiery sword with his hotter, flaming claws.

''Show me your Bankai, Genryusai Yamamoto!'' Darkus demands excitedly, thrusting his tail and coils around the Shinigami's neck as it pulls him to the dragon and he viciously claws through him, shredding through his Shinigami robes. ''I want to see the flames that burned Yhwach and make them mine!''

Enraged to hear him bring up that name again, Yamamoto's sheer Spiritual Energy repels the tail around him and reveals the old man's multiple scarred yet mighty body. He proceeds to thrust his sword which Darkus repels with his tail, even tossing the Zanpakuto off his hand. However, Yamamoto doesn't care as he comes swinging with precise punches that Darkus responds; each fist counter back-to-back.

''SOKOTSU!'' Now able to use both his arms, Yamamoto thrusts and unleashes a powerful two-fisted punch towards Darkus who grins and roars. ''CHAOS FLAME ARMOR!'' His body erupts in dark crimson, electrical fire across his body like armor resembling lava. Yamamoto still punches his fists upon the flame but the impact is much more painful for the Shinigami, gasping in agony and discomfort. He pulls back, his arms badly burned while his attack did penetrate through the flames but it only caused small cracks across Darkus' chest that were already being regenerated.

''Ow…'' The black dragon utters with glee. ''My turn.'' He extends back his claws, squeezing them tightly before he throws them forward, shouting. ''DARKNESS CHAOS WALTZ!'' An enhanced version of his unseen rapid punches, each one resembling a hundred fists coming and striking the Shinigami with such speed and force that Yamamoto is literally stunned in place.

Chojiro sees this and yells out in distress. ''Captain!'' He flies to his aid until Dark General gets in his path. He shoots out lightning bolts but the dark clad knight shouts out. ''AGGRESSIVE MODE!'' Dark aura erupts and repels lightning with ease. Dark General Knight begins to charge as red lining starts forming across his armor, even his sharp fingertips as 6 dark fiery orbs form and float around him.

''Where are you going?'' He asks the Shinigami, his eyes glowing with a sense of excitement to go all out. ''Our fight is far from over.''

Chojiro groans as he shoots out more lightning but the dark knight swings his transformed sword and slashes through the bolts, dissolving them with ease.

"Futile.'' He utters as the orbs around him fire instant beams of light at Chojiro who barely dodges them. However, he gasps out blood as two of them stab through the right side of his body and his left arm. He can't lose here; not when he's so close.

He quickly moves his blade across the lightning pillars as Chojiro infuses the immense lightning of the pillars into his weapon. He then charges right at the Dark General his sword with immense amounts of lightning as he moves to attack his opponent with it

''DARKNESS LUNA!'' The Dark General shouts out, releasing dark energy whirlwinds across his body. Chojiro tries piercing the dark waves but they wrap themselves around, restraining him temporarily in place.

''It's decided!'' The dark clad knight declares as he raises his sword and begins to shout, swinging it. ''DARKNESS ECLIPSE!'' He performs multiple, swift slashes one after the other across the lieutenant's body 11 times, each one inflicting such pain before the 12th and the last one slams him downward with such force he crashes and leaves a crater. Chojiro can't move, badly wounded but still breathing. The dark knight lets him live as he flies to assist his lord.

Aizen watches the fight against the Dark Lord about to reach a climax and as much as he should let him finish; he wants to take that right away from him. He soon curls his lips into a smirk as a Garganta opens up as Aizen utters out. ''Time for your intro, Wonderweiss.''

The battle still rages fiercely that most of the Captains still cautious are trying to watch if not for the enemy.

''RYUJIN JAKKA!'' Yamamoto shouts, swinging his sword and releasing an intense wave of flames.

''CHAOS FLAME PURGATORY!'' Darkus roars, breathing out an evolved, more intense version of his Black Flame Inferno except the flames are as hot as magma and the sun. The two opposing flames clash so viciously that they explode by merely touching the other.

Darkus looks down at the Head Captain and snarls at how boring this fight has become. Obviously, Yamamoto is losing steam while the Dark Lord has barely used up his full power.

"Are you done or shall I end things?'' Darkus questions the Shinigami with a cocky tone. ''Show me your Bankai, now and I might spare your-'' A wave of flames hit him directly but they extinguished as soon as the Dark Lord's body heat repelled them off him. Mustang is shocked, thinking his attack might have done something. Darkus snorts with a smug smirk, finding the Flame Alchemist cute before he turns back to the damaged Shinigami, resuming. ''Well, old man? I want to see-''

''You intend to spare my men? Is that what you were about to say?'' Yamamoto interrupts, questioning if that was what he's about to say. Darkus just smirks, nodding as the Head Captain sighs of disappointment.

''You are truly full of yourself.'' He begins to say before he raises and stands his sword into the ground. ''ENNETSU JIGOKU!'' Suddenly, over a dozen immense flames manifest surrounding the whole battlefield area.

The Dark Lord looks around surprised as the Head Captain proclaims confidently yet firmly. ''These flames will end you, Aizen and all of your forces along with the rest of us. No one will survive.'' He gazes at Mustang and Armstrong, simply giving them a nod of apologies for this.

''Such flames won't-'' The Dark Lord begins to proclaim, kicking Yamamoto into the air to attack until he doesn't pursue him, seeing a figure that Yamamoto hits across the back. ''Eawwww…''

Yamamoto quickly swings his sword but his fiery blade is grabbed and said flames extinguished. This shocks Yamamoto as the one who caught his blade is Aizen's trump card, Wonderweiss, already in its released form. The more shocking part is that the multiple pillars he created have all vanished as well.

''What the-'' Darkus utters, puzzled by what just happened until Aizen speaks up. ''My apologies.'' The black dragon growls, looking up to see Aizen above him, freed. ''I just couldn't help but interfere. Wonderweiss is still an infant. You and I have a score to settled.''

The Dark Lord glares at him but smirks, perfectly fine with that as long as-

''You read my mind too…'' The Dark Lord's thoughts are interrupted as he and Aizen look up as does Yamamoto and appearing above them are the Visoreds. Shinji looks down at them, at first smiling before he scowls to gaze down at his former lieutenant. ''Aizen.''

''It's been a long time, Captain Hirako.'' Aizen comments with a small smirk, wondering when he would appear. Darkus snarls, another worm to burn away. Mustang is left rather unease but not complaining to see at least a familiar face here. Though… he does wish Yugi and his team would show up.

The battle in the fake Karakura Town rages on. But who will be the true victor?

Next Time…

Back in Hueco Mundo, Kurosaki pursues and finds Orihime… but also Ulquiorra. Wanting to settle things with him from last time and save his friend, the Substitute Shinigami engages the 4th Espada. However, it proves to be impossible unless he accepts the help of others. Will Teamwork be the key to defeating the Arrancar of Emptiness?

DragonKnight15: I um… sorry, couldn't come up with something funny for this one since well this one is going to be serious. I'll try next time! SO…

Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Strength in Teamwork! Fight the Unreachable Ulquiorra! Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time!


Author's Note: So yea, Sasuke, Selvaria and Houndour, now a Houndoom's training surpass their current limits. Heck, even Metal Sonic's new updates lets him move faster too.

I mean if I didn't do anything with Yamamoto's lieutenant before he died- YEA SPOILER for the Thousand Year Blood War or TYBW for short.

Dark Leader- I mean Dark Lord Darkus Chaos Form!

Happy to finally make the switch and before someone asks; the official reveal of the Dark Lord, the original Dark Lord that Akumu adapts being its successor was revealed in Chapter 72 of DKR Volume 5 and also the prologue of DKR Volume 2 REDO. And this form is basically his Burst Limit. Both forms push the user's limits to max and make them exponentially stronger and stronger. And why not show it off. Happy I did!

Also the importance of a name. I like that concept as you know, anime attack names have power when uttering out the name or the name behind one's power as it is a big deal in Bleach.

Next time, we return to how Team Dragon Knight is holding off. Wonder what's- OH… RIGHT… For Bleach Fans, you know what's going to happen next huh? See you there.


WELL... Next week I can't upload because of RL issues. So next week no DKR.

The next chapter will be uploaded on June 18 and you don't want to miss it! See you then!
