Volume 6: Chapter 7: Overcome the Mad Genius! The Risky Exchange!
In the previous episode of DKR:
The fight against Szayelaporro wasn't going to Ed's group, even when Danny's group arrived only to have their powers suppressed too. Their options were limited as the 8th Espada taunts the former Arrancars of their downfall and their "master's". However, just then, Judai arrived to save the day… for his powers to be suppressed as well.
But Judai had a plan and commenced it by challenging the Espada to a duel by using his ego against him. It worked as Szayelaporro accepted. The duel commenced and immediately the Espada showcased his superiorly by having cards like Non-Fusion Area to stop Judai's ability to Fusion Summon and other cards to keep his Life Points always at 4000 and having huge advantage while summoning his Myutant. Not beaten, Judai put his trust on Yubel and summons her evolved forms to help him out. Not given up, Judai's determination restored some of the power of the Philosopher's Stone – Sabatiel and used it along with his new hero, Elemental HERO Acid Neos, to defeat Szayelaporro once and for all.
Humiliated and enraged in his crazy nature, Szayelaporro prepared to make them suffer until Haruto now arrived, all part of Judai's plan. With the Wizard of Hope now on the battlefield, will this be enough to beat this overwhelming foe?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
"G-GET RID OF ME NYA?!'' Ichigo utters in horror by Harribel's statement. The Espada eyes her with a firm gaze, not lying to her. The red cherry head slowly frowns, looking away.
''I see…'' She utters out softly, looking back at her with hesitation. Must she fight her now? If she doesn't, she'll perished.
Breathing heavily, Ichigo begins to say with a determined face. ''Well I'm not scared. I just…'' She slowly hesitates, looking sad as she doesn't want to fight her or the other girls. ''I don't fight you all, and not like this. I just… I like you all.''
This surprises the other girls, each eyeing the other. She may be a human but the mere idea that she cares for them, one of the enemy; is honestly overwhelming.
Tier just crosses her arms, also feeling the same with her. Human or Arrancar; any female she stares upon has earned her respect and this one is no different.
''… The time will come that we will fight…'' Tier then begins to speak up, looking back at Ichigo. ''But right now, I too also don't want to fight you.''
Ichigo blinks surprised as the Espada explains herself. ''Aizen-sama has instructed me to get rid of you but he never clarified if I had to kill you or let you leave.''
This astonished Ichigo, blushing red as she gets it, smiling.
''You are too kind, Harribel-san.'' Sung-Sun expresses calmly as Apacci also adds with a grin. ''I think if you were the leader instead of Aizen, the Hollows wouldn't be as aggressive as they are now.''
Mila Rose smirks in agreement. Ichigo smiles at the 3 before she says with a small frown. ''I guess I should go before someone checks up on your orders.''
Tier nods, thinking it's a good idea. Ichigo nods as she prepares to leave until the Espada pauses and finally says. ''… I shouldn't tell you this.'' Ichigo stops in her tracks, eyeing her as she says. ''But there is another that Aizen-sama captured.''
This shocks the red cherry head. So Aizen didn't just capture her? Then who else? The girls are shocked that Harribel would tell her that but they won't object.
''She's located to the tower to the far right from here.'' Tier informs her as she points her hand towards the tower near them. Ichigo nods, going to see who it is and get them out of here… somehow. She really doesn't have a plan but she'll come up with one.
She turns around and heads to the door but not before Harribel then says. ''And Ichigo Momomiya, I do hope we don't meet again.''
Ichigo stops in her tracks, frowning as she begins to speak up. ''… I wouldn't.'' She turns around and has a big smile. ''I want us to meet again, Nya!''
Tier stares at her calmly as Ichigo waves goodbye to them and runs off in a hurry. She soon sighs, trying to not smile.
''Is this a good idea, Harribel-sama?'' Sung-Sun asks, hesitated as she's glad that Ichigo won't be killed.
''I think I understand Harribel-sama's reasons.'' Mila Rose then says with Apacci nodding in agreement; all of them having to get to know her and feel no harsh feelings or dislike towards her. In fact, they wished she didn't leave.
Harribel doesn't say a thing, only hoping Aizen-sama will be merciful for her actions or if this is what he wanted.
Ed and the other watch as Haruto has arrived. Szayelaporro frowns of annoyance but does ultimately smirk that he gets to play with another lab rat.
Judai snickers again, glad he finally showed up as he teases him. ''What took you so long?''
Haruto cracks a smirk back as he responds, walking up to him. ''Other than getting lost in this maze; what do you think?''
The brown-orange headed agrees with him as he pulls out the Violet Golem PlaMonster from his blazer as it jumps off and leaps onto Haruto's shoulder. This causes Ed and Uryu to realize why Judai dueled the Espada; he was stalling for time using that thing of Haruto as some kind of beaconing.
''I asked Haruto to give me one of his familiars so he can track me down.'' Judai explains to the others why he had it. ''Clever, right?''
''Really clever.'' Danny comments with a small chuckle. Edward also smirks, finding that really damn clever. Renji sweat drops, surprised that even worked with how damn annoying the-
''How amusing.'' The group turns towards Szayelaporro, having heard the whole thing and he can't help but smirk. He pushes his glasses as he says, his gaze lock towards Haruto. ''I did calculate your 'magician'-''
''Wizard.'' Haruto immediately corrects him. This causes the Espada to be silent with a small frown before he resumes with a small smirk. ''… Whatever you call yourself, it doesn't matter. These walls also negate your little magic too.''
Ed soon panics. So he came up with a strategy against him too?!
''Really huh?'' Haruto, however, just scoffs as he switches rings with the Water Wizard Ring and flips its front downward. ''Which form?'' As he flips the two levers on the ends of his belt.
''SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN!'' The Wizardriver announces excitedly as Haruto shouts, sliding his left hand over the center of his belt. ''Henshin!''
''WATER, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver proclaims as Haruto raises his left hand forward as a blue magical circle manifests. The circle moves towards him as swirls of water fly out and transforms him into Wizard Water Style. ''SUI-SUI, SUI-SUI!''
Pesche and Dondochakka panic to see his transformation but he's not the only one. Szayelaporro slowly widens his eyes in shock, yelling out in shock. ''IM-IMPOSSIBLE! How? My walls shouldn't…'' He even tested this with some sample of his magic from his fight against Grimmjow.
Wizard lifts up his right index finger and wags it as he proclaims. ''You can't nullify magic without understanding it, without truly being a magician, a wizard.'' He then points that same finger at him. ''And that will cost you.'' He slides that hand over his belt.
''CONNECT, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as a magical circle forms on his side and he slides his hand in there and pulls out the WizarSwordGun. He twirls it, grabbing the back end of his sword and declares confidently. ''It's Showtime.''
Szayelaporro just grins as he orders his mindless Fraccions. ''Entertain our guest.'' They shriek, charging at Wizard with the fastest leaping at him and Wizard ducks and immediately twirls around and stands up as he slashes through the Arrancar, killing it. This staggers the other Fraccions as Wizard turns around to face them.
''If your plan is to send your lackeys to fight someone…'' The magic Rider begins to tell the Espada before mocking him. ''Then next time fight your own battles.'' He walks forward, flipping his sword into gun form. The Fraccions hiss and charge at him with the big one swinging his massive fists at him, hitting where he was as well as cracking the ground. However, the Fraccion is shot across the head as Wizard is on top of him, blasting him till it drops backwards on the ground.
Other Fraccións charge at Wizard at all ends but he simply evades their charging attacks, evading them with ease by stepping around them without looking. This enrages the mindless Arrancars, coming at him with swings of their swords only for Wizard to twirl and perform a flying spin kick, 360° degree kicking their attacks back as he fires a shot at each one. Each bullet flies around their targets and snipe their heads, shooting them down. Each one drops hard as Wizard lands on the ground, twirling his gun all while eyeing the stunned Szayelaporro.
''T-this guy is crazy!'' Dondochakka utters with a drop jaw mouth. Pesche nods rapidly, even saying. ''And he's insanely strong too.''
''You've spoiled my entertainment!'' Irritated by this insult, the Espada yells at him, dashing with Sonido to appear to his side and swings his sword only for Wizard to fires a shot in the air within that moment and the bullet flies right at the swing and it pushes the Espada backwards.
''No, I'm spoiling your cruelty.'' Wizard mocks him with a firm tone, swapping rings in his right hand. He then walks up at him, firing multiple rapid shots that the Espada uses Sonido to evade and gets behind him, grinning as he thrusts his blade through him. Liquid shoots through Wizard to everyone's shock but Judai and Ed know that's not blood.
''LIQUID, PLEASE!'' Szayelaporro staggers, hearing the voice of the Wizardriver as Wizard erupts into water liquid that wraps around the Espada, slamming him around the wall and ground, bouncing around over and over. It then tosses him through the other side of the wall, smacking hard and cracks the surface.
Wizard reforms as he slides on a different ring and slides it over his driver. ''BIG, PLEASE!'' He thrusts his right hand forward, going through a magical portal and the arm on the other side grows massively large and stomps the palm of his hand hard, breaking through the wall.
He pulls his arm backwards, reverted back as he tells himself cautiously. ''Best not test my luck against these Espada unlike last time.'' Reminded of his fight against Grimmjow previously.
Wizard then flips his weapon to sword form and, flips the hand on his weapon up and slaps his left hand on it.
''COME ON A SLASH, SHAKE HANDS!'' The weapon announces as Szayelaporro suddenly appears to his side with a swing but Wizard bends to the sides, nearly evading the swing. He takes aim with his sword at Szayelaporro's chest to his dismay as he prepares to swing. ''WATER SLASH STRIKE! SUI-SUI-SUI! SUI-SUI-SUI!'' He swings multiple swings, firing powerful water slashes that blasts the Espada away while Wizard backflips away.
Szayelaporro breathes heavily, his front of his outfit nearly torn apart to reveal his bare chest. He glares at Wizard who somersaults up and comes at him, unaware the rider swapped rings in his right hand and swipes that hand over his driver. The Espada vanishes and next thing happens is their swords clash or rather Szayelaporro had tried to kill him but Wizard blocks his swing effortlessly.
"VERY NICE! BLIZZARD!'' The Wizardriver announces as Wizard guards with his WizarSwordGun, sparks flying out from it and the Espada's swords and then ice forms and covers Szayelaporro's body. ''THE BEST!''
The encased Espada crashes hard on the ground as Wizard lands, flipping his sword once more in Gun Form and fires multiple bullets all over the room, hitting each wall and ceiling. This only last for a few seconds before the encased Szayelaporro breaks free of the ice, exploding into shards.
Everyone watches astonished with Pesche and Dondochakka speechless by this guy. For a human, he is close to an Arrancar. The others feel the same with Ed thinking they might have a chance against-
"Hahaha…'' Wizard looks forward to see the mad genius Espada beginning to laugh at first relaxed before going full on madman. ''HAHAHAHA!''
The others watch worryingly as Szayelaporro, calming down from his laughter, rubs his top of his hair upward, grinning as it gently falls down and he taunts the rider's little trick. ''You think your little shots could destroy the walls of my laboratory?''
Wizard doesn't say a word. The Espada snickers as he proclaims. ''Of course you have no words. You never stood a chance against my genius. None of you did.''
''… Is that a fact?'' Szayelaporro then frowns as he eyes the Rider who flaps the end of his coat. He doesn't follow what he means by- By… Szayelaporro begins to feel a change of temperature that only he would be aware of. He soon realizes it with widen eyes. ''M-My room…''
He stares and soon the others notice that the whole room is frozen in ice. It was so quick that no one noticed it.
''I froze it.'' Wizard announces to be the one behind this, his bullets coated in the Blizzard Wizard Ring's powers. But this is just Phase 2 as he pulls and switches his Water Style Ring with the Water Dragon Ring. ''And now my real magic act.'' He swipes his left hand over his belt.
''WATER DRAGON!'' The Wizardriver begins to announces as the ice walls and ceiling start to morph into water and wraps themselves around Wizard, becoming a pillar of water that quickly becomes a water dragon, spiraling around like a typhoon.
''JABAJABA BASHAAN, ZABUN ZABUN!'' The Wizardriver chants excitedly as the typhoon explodes and emerges from it is Wizard in its Water Dragon form. But what's more importantly is that the walls and ceiling of the room have vanished, all of it gone revealing the outside Las Noches.
Szayelaporro looks around with a horrified expression, not believing this just happened. How? Not only that but Wizard is flowing with more magic than before, amazed by the energy around him.
''The frozen walls dissolve into water and were absorbed into him, giving him extra power!'' Uryu theorizes in astonishment, not thinking another but a Quincy could do that.
Wizard hums, not aware he could do that too. He just figured this would remove the room.
''BAN-KAI!'' Not wasting anymore time, Renji shouts as his Zanpakuto erupts in energy and transforms into his Bankai form as the large snake-lion weapon howls. ''Hihio Zabimaru!''
Ed smirks, clapping his hands as he slams them, sparks flying out as he transmutes an iron hammer he picks up, having his trademark cartoon face on the front of the hammer's face.
''Nice job, wizard guy!'' Pesche praises Wizard who sighs and corrects him, slightly irritated. ''Just Wizard, would you!''
''Come on Wizard Guy. You saved the day!'' Judai also praises him, teasing him too. Wizard groans with Danny questions Judai. ''You enjoy teasing others, Judai.''
''Taunting.'' Judai corrects him with a grin. Ed sighs as he tells the rider. ''Yea well I'm grateful. Thanks Haruto.''
Wizard nods as he and the others all face at Szayelaporro, worrying. He just lost his Fraccións and now his tower. This couldn't get any-
''Hey, mad genius!'' The Espada looks up at the group with Danny calling him out. ''I think Judai told you this but our teamwork is about to put you in shame.'' He then slams his right fist into his left palm. ''And you're going to regret it. I'm going ghost!''
A white ring surrounds him and splits up and down, overlapping and transforming the young teenager into his Phantom form.
Danny flies right at top speed and lands a powerful punch across Szayelaporro's face, staggering him heavily as he's sent flying until he's coiled around by Renji snake sword and tosses it right to Ed who bashes his hammer across his face, actually cracking his glasses.
''COPY, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces by Wizard swiping his right hand, running at the Espada, as he gains a second WizarSwordGun. He leaps in between Ed bashing his hammer again at the Espada who snaps and tries to slash him only to get intercepted by Wizard's swords and pushes him back. He and suddenly Uryu slash their weapons as Szayelaporro blocks them.
''Go, Neos!'' The pink haired Espada turns in a panic only to get punched across the face by Neos, slamming and crashing into the ground, rolling like a skipping stone. He manages to gain control and floats on the ground, panting as his face is badly beaten by the 2 punches and the hammer markings. Pesche and Dondochakka can't believe the humans are actually hurting him this badly.
''Y-YOU DAMN-'' Szayelaporro curses out angrily only to get spikes stabbing through him by Ed's transmutation. Edward snarls as he asks him firmly but smirking. ''How does it feel not getting your way?''
Uryu swings his Seele Schneider as the bladed arrow slashes across the Espada's side and damages his outfit. Wizard follows with precise slashes that launches the Espada in range of Renji who swings Hihio Zabimaru, smacking him around like a ragdoll before he crashes into the ground.
Szayelaporro grunts in pain, pulling himself up only to get bombarded by Danny, blasting a barrage of ghost rays. The Espada flies away fast only for Ed to transmute a massive earth fist that smacks and bashes Szayelaporro back onto the ground.
''Give up!'' Ed yells at him, already fed up with him and his insane game.
Szayelaporro breathes heavily, floating back up as he looks furious with a crazy stare
''You think this will best me? You really think you have bested me?!'' The Espada yells at the group as he moves his sword over his head. ''Then allow me to show you all how foolish you really are.''
He opens his mouth wide and does the most disturbing thing they're going to see: he is trying to swallow his sword from the blade into his mouth swirling his tongue almost around it. Edward soon panics, remembering this.
''Sip.'' He begins to say as the sword glows pink before he swallows it whole. As he did his entire body begins to swell in enormous spiritual energy, covering Szayelaporro in mist and immediately emerges in his Resurrección form.
''Fornicarás!'' Szayelaporro announces with a smirk, presenting his almost godly presence before his foolish enemies. Wizard is actually surprised by this, slightly; he was expecting something more monstrous.
''Crap, I forgot he can do that.'' Judai utters, also forgetting about this form as did Danny. Ed sighs, feeling the blame too.
''Can't be helped.'' Wizard tells them, twirling his swords for Round 2. ''Let's defeat him for good!''
The others nod in agreement, taking on battle poses to confront the transformed Espada.
Yugi's group continues walking through the desert, using the instructions that Starrk gave them but there's one problem: This desert is endless and the fake sun doesn't help it.
''HATE. THIS. PLACE!'' Both Jonouchi and Hiroto complain loudly, dripping in sweat and looking drained. Anzu sweat drops, also feeling the same dread too for just being here too.
''Are we… HUFF… even going the right way?'' She asks Yugi who looks perfectly fine, having gone through training to handle such pressure.
''Pretty sure but if we reach nothing, then I'll Burst Limit.'' He responds calmly, not wanting to use Burst Limit yet since it's likely Aizen has something to detect his presence if he does and to keep his energy at a minimal. But… he is tempted just to reach her.
Jenny looks at him and can see through his worries, telling him. ''Yugi, I know you don't want to spend any energy until you need it-''
''And I have to Nee-san.'' Yugi then tells her with an apprehension expression. ''If I don't, then saving Ichigo-kun will be impossible.''
She eyes him and just smiles, finishing what he interrupted. ''I was going to say if the situation becomes dread, use all of your power and do what you have to.''
Yugi blinks awkwardly, eyeing her and slowly smiles, nodding. ''I will!''
He then begins to think about the chance that the Espadas might become walls for them, especially to him, and if they need to save Ichigo quicker.
''If by any chance an enemy stands in our way…'' He begins to ask of everyone beside him. ''Nee-san, Masaya-kun, everyone; I'm counting on you all to go on ahead without me.''
''Yugi…'' Jenny mutters softly with Jonouchi vowing. ''You have our word!''
Masaya also nods, knowing that Yugi is willingly to be the enemy's target so they can save Ichigo. He'll do what he can and so would he.
Will Yugi and the others reach and find Ichigo.
Commercial Break:
Jonouchi: I hate this DAMN FORSHAKEN PLACE!
Edward: Okay guys, we just have to injury this freak and win, hopefully.
Ed and the others are still facing off against Szayelaporro, now using his Resurrección form to fight them. Pesche and Dondochakka watch from afar, knowing this fight will be harder with the Espada now at full power.
Gulping as he remembers what he can do, Edward orders everyone. "JUST ATTACK HIM AND DON'T LET HIM CATCH YOU OR HIS LIQUID! HE MAKES CLONES OF YOU!''
"… WONDERFUL IDEA!'' Szayelaporro proclaims eagerly, shooting out his liquid from his tentacle-like wings. Ed just smirks to the Espada's confusion as Wizard twirls his left hand as the black liquid suddenly shoots in reverse and hits into Szayelaporro instead. He gasps angrily.
''Really? You fell for that one?'' Edward mocks the so-called smartest Espada who growls and vanishes through Sonido and appear behind Uryu and Renji, planning to use them as hostages.
''Teatro de Titere!'' Szayelaporro declares as his wings move in. Before the Shinigami and the Quincy could react; they are both grabbed by each of the Espada's wings and oddly wrap them almost swallowing them. The others become alarm but Wizard who switches rings.
''NOT AGAIN!'' Ed shouts, giving a look to the rider who's one step ahead.
Szayelaporro snickers evilly as he expresses, licking his lips. ''Now enjoy-''
''LAND DRAGON!'' His words are cut off as Wizard charges at him follow by Ed transmuting pillars to hs sides. A yellow magical circle manifests from underneath Wizard, overlapping him as he transforms into his Land Dragon form. ''DAN DEN DON ZU DOGON, DAN DEN DOGON!" He then slashes the ground with both his swords as the pillars suddenly expand and grow larger into spikes that shoot out towards the Espada.
Szayelaporro smirks as he's about to dodge it until he feels heavy, that being Wizard's Gravity magic as the spears stab through him.
''GAAAAWWW!'' The Espada screams as the enhance pillars rips through his wings and freeing both Uryu and Renji who quickly move away.
''… I never want to talk about this.'' Renji tells the Quincy with a face of disgust. Uryu just agrees, adjusting his glasses as he too doesn't want wish to discuss this.
Szayelaporro hisses heavily, gazing at Wizard furiously, about to attack him until Neos kicks him back. Wizard switches the ring on his right hand as he leaps up while swiping that hand over his belt.
''DRILL, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as Wizard's right leg is covered in a stone-like magical drill as he performs a Rider Kick at the Espada who counters. ''Telon Balon!''
His damaged wings move themselves forward, surrounding its owner almost like a shield. They wrap him so quickly and thick which forms into a ball as it floats. The drill kick connects and pushes the Espada backwards, kicking him away as his shield falls apart.
Pesche and Dondochakka watches as they eye each other and nod, needing to help them.
''Hey, you guys have our backs?'' Pesche asks Ed who blinks, eyeing him and questions him. ''Let's hear it!''
He whispers something in Ed's ear as he nods and then widens his eyes, giving a look at him and Tiki face. He sighs as he nods, going to try their plan. He explains the plan to the others as Wizard kicks Szayelaporro backwards. He holds his ground, becoming mad as he fires a Cero at him. The rider dodges by digging into the ground. The Espada grunts as he's suddenly punched by Neos again.
Danny now fires a combination of Ghost Stingers and ice powered Ghost Saucers as well as Edward transmuting multiple spikes from the ground, hitting the Espada as Renji bashes him with his giant whip snake weapon and Uryu firing multiple energy bows.
Wizard switches the ring in his left hand before he swipes it over his belt.
''HURRICANE, DRAGON!'' The Wizardriver chants as Wizard runs forward, being lifted upward by the green magical circle manifesting behind him. The green energy wing dragon wraps around him and transforms him into his Hurricane Dragon form. ''BYU-BYU, BYU-BYU-BYU-BYU!" He flies around the Espada as he takes aim with his two WizarSwordGuns as its barrel tips glow electricity.
''COME ON A SHOOTING, SHAKE HANDS!'' The weapons begin to chant as Wizard fire their triggers. ''HURRICANE SHOOTING STRIKE! FU-FU-FU! FU-FU-FU!'' He fires powerful, wind electrical shots that pierce through the Espada partly, causing him to gasp in pain.
Breathing heavily, Szayelaporro tries yelling out. ''Y-YOU WILL-'' He staggers when he sees Pesche standing on top of Dondochakka. The Espada widens his eyes as Pesche manifests a purple Cero while Dondochakka forms a yellow Cero. Their attacks overlapped to each other, combining and forming a large, swirling sphere.
''CERO SINCRÉTICO!'' The two shout as their combined Cero is fired as a multicolored beam.
''HIKOTSU TAIHO!'' Renji shouts, swinging his Bankai form Zabimaru and fires a dense, cannon-like blast of concentrated red spiritual energy from Zabimaru's mouth.
Uryu fires a single Heilig Pfeil from all the Spiritual Energy from the destroyed room and unleashes it.
''Such foolish-'' Szayelaporro begins to say, about to move away until Wizard summons chains that wrap and bind the Espada in place. He now panics as he can't get away as the 3 attacks hit him, screaming as he explodes.
Immediately both Pesche and Dondochakka drop on the ground, completely drained after using that technique.
Everyone watches with Danny, asking in a hopeful, uneasy tone. ''W-we actually got him, right?'' Judai doesn't answer as the smoke clear up.
Soon Szayelaporro is revealed but his body is beyond well; holes all over its body and badly burned and bleeding out. The Espada breathes heavily, coughing up blood.
Ed looks at him, feeling almost bad for him but he had it coming sadly. Still, he doesn't like killing, even if it is the only option.
''It's over, smartass psychopath!'' Edward calls him out as he wants him to leave. ''Now run off so you can lick your wounds!''
Renji startles about that as Uryu is about to protest until the Espada begins to speak up. ''O-Over?''
The group watches as Szayelaporro is pulling himself up, laughing weakly as his body suddenly becomes pink, liquid-like smoke in the form of a cloud. This shocks everyone with Danny, with widened eyes, asks puzzled. ''D-did he turn into a cloud?''
Ed doesn't like this as the cloud quickly flies towards them but Wizard quickly gathers wind around one of the defeated Fracción body and tosses it right into the liquid-like cloud. The cloud literally absorbs itself into the body as it starts to move on its own, confirming it is not dead but starts screaming in pain. Everyone watches in disbelieve as the body husk like a mummy before exploding out of its body is Szayelaporro from the stomach, completely healed and smiling cocky while covered in fluid.
''W-what the hell?'' Almost everyone utters the same with Danny muttering, face palming his face. ''I-I think I've been scarred.''
Edward glares with a panicking stare, not possible that this freak just did that. It's like he came out of the body like some kind of parasite.
''Much better.'' The Espada utters softly, adjusting his glasses as he grins, narrowing his eyes towards the group.
''W-what did you-'' Judai tries to demand cautiously only for Szayelaporro to start laughing as he reveals his ultimate trump card. ''Hahaha! That is my final ability, my greatest ability: My immortality Gabriel!''
''… Bible much.'' Judai then states the obvious. The Espada just ignores that statement as he explains his ability. ''It is the flawless revival ability, allowing me to entering my victim by using their fluids and body to repair all the damage I have taken-''
''BY IMPREGNATING?!'' Danny yells out loudly, really wishing he can bleach his eyes from what he witnessed.
''Correct. It is the kindest of abilities, killing my target and granting me a new life.'' Szayelaporro then expresses, chuckling proudly of his ultimate ability that no Espada can or will ever possessed. ''You could say I am a phoenix, the perfect being to exist beyond all of reality!''
The others glare as this guy is that dangerous. Wizard, however, remains calm as this Espada is just like any monster and just like any monster; he'll put an end of t.
''… Then like a phoenix, I'll burn you out because for you, there will be no finale.'' Wizard declares, vowing to stop him with all of his power. Szayelaporro just laughs at his declaration, reminding him with his ego written all over his face. ''Like I said, it doesn't matter what you do to me. I am the perfect, immortal being!''
Wizard doesn't care as he's bested a being like that and this is no different.
''…'' Ed is silent, looking back at the corpse of the dead Fracción that he came out of. Wizard switches the ring in his left hand, about to do something but Edward interrupts, questioning the Espada. ''Your ability implants what remains of yourself in that liquid into the target like a parasite, feeding on them.''
Wizard looks at the alchemist as the Espada responds with a grin. ''Correct.''
''And so that target is basically your host, your cocoon you discard when you are revived out of them.'' Ed then asks to Danny's uneasiness, not wanting to hear any more of that. Uryu, however, is puzzled why he's asking that. Could it be!
Szayelaporro snickers, praising him for acknowledging his genius and their despair. ''Precisely! I am overjoyed that you understood my powers but now you understand the hopelessness of your situation too!''
''…'' Thinking it over silently, Edward realizes that there is a way to win. But… it's really risky and it might not work the way he wants it; yet it's that or nothing. He has to try as he eyes the others and tells them. ''I got a plan. Just follow my lead and get him really damaged.''
''You sure?'' Danny questions him, not even sure what they can do but seal the Espada away somehow. Edward just looks at every one of them, meaning it.
''You got it then!'' Judai responds eagerly, trusting Ed's plan. Pesche and Dondochakka are forced to watch, leaving the rest to them.
Szayelaporro just snickers evilly, finding it all amusing as he taunts the so-called alchemist. ''OH?! You really think you can actually beat a perfected being such as I, little human?''
The others panic as an angry vein pops across Ed's forehead as he clenches his fist tightly and his face is a tightly, biting grin with a gazing, narrow eyes. He's doing his hardest to not snap, holding himself together but he SO wants to tear him apart.
''You really love to tick me off so badly…'' Edward questions him with a tone that's screaming to yell like a madman and proceeds to do so, slamming his hands together and slams them onto the ground. ''BUT HELL, DAMN YES!'' Sparks flying out as he transmutes multiple pillars shooting out from the ground.
Szayelaporro just flies over the spears but not the assault of Ghost Rays that Danny is firing as well as Uryu shooting Quincy arrows. He blocks and repels them with his wings just as Neos, transforming into Brave Neos, punches through his wings and sends him crashing into the ground.
The Espada shoots up as he fires a Cero at the group only for Wizard to leap between the blast and the others, swiping his left hand over his belt.
''FLAME, DRAGON!'' The Wizardriver finally responds firmly as a more enhanced red magical circle manifests before him, moving towards him and overlapping him as the beam hits him but the attack becomes fire for his power.
''BOU-BOU! BOU-BOU-BOU!'' The driver chants passionately as the swirls of great flames consumes Haruto before said flames become the shape of a dragon before they dissolve and Wizard emerges out in his Flame Dragon form, dual swinging his WizarSwordGuns in sword form. Szayelaporro dodges him as Wizard charges, both sword engulfed in flames as he thrusts the left one which he evades but Wizard then twirls around, keeping his guard, as he swings the right sword. Szayelaporro also dodges that one, distancing himself only to get in range of the Quincy's snipping aim.
''Licht Regen!'' Uryu shouts firing and unleashing a devastating volley of spiritual arrows towards the Espada. Szayelaporro sees them coming as he uses his swings to guard, tanking the arrow shots but not Wizard getting to his back as he slashes him in a x-shaped slashes. He shrieks in agony, trying to turn only to get bashed by Renji's Bankai, its fangs trying to rip through him if not for him to fly out of there.
''This will not-'' The Espada utters irritated by this game, shooting out his ink. Brave Neos now transforms into Storm Neos as he flaps his wings once and blows all the liquid away from everyone with mighty gust of wind.
Szayelaporro hisses as he tries to form another Cero only for Renji to shout, swinging his giant whip snake sword right at him. ''HIGA ZEKKO!'' The whips of his weapon detach into segments, flying down fast like meteors with each having a shape energy blades on all sides.
''Go, Storm Neos! Ultimate Typhoon!'' Judai then shouts as Storm Neos unleashes a powerful typhoon-like storm that pushes the Espada onto the ground as it carries the blades of Renji's attack right at him, stabbing through him. Szayelaporro yells in fury, trying to move until Danny lets out a deep breath in and shouts, exhaling it all. ''GHOSTLY WAIL!'' He unleashes his ghostly wailing mouth blast upon the Espada, causing him greater agony but also the time Wizard needs as he switches rings and flips the right lever of his driver.
''LEPARCHI MAGIC TOUCH GO!'' The Wizardriver begins to announce, repeating that phrase 4 times before Wizard slides the left handed ring over his belt. ''VERY NICE! SPECIAL!''
Wizard crosses his arms before spreading them wide as he is lifted upward. ''THE BEST!'' His body erupts in flames as a flaming dragon manifests from a magical circle appearing behind Wizard before entering him from his back and emerging from his front as Wizardragon's head. It roars fiercely before it breathes an intense wave of flames, consuming the Espada as he screams in agony.
The attacks all exploded as Szayelaporro is shot out, badly damaged but still holding his superiorly.
''T-This will not…'' He begins to utters, confident in his victory until he sees a figure through the smoke of the flames, recognizing it as Ed. The Espada grins as he comes at him and stabs his hand through him only to panic as he hits a statue of Ed with his cartoon face but also wearing his red cloak. He doesn't know that the real Ed moves from behind him, without his cloak as he shouts, extending his wrist bladed automail back.
''THIS IS FOR CALLING ME LITTLE!'' Ed yells out furiously, getting the shocked Espada's attention as the alchemist thrusts his blade and stabs through his chest with it. Szayelaporro gasps with such horror before he grins, laughing as his body begins to become the same pink cloud from before to everyone else's shock.
''Y-You really are a fool!'' The Espada begins to inform him with a confident grin as his cloud form is absorbed into Edward's body.
''ED!'' Danny shouts in terror as well as Judai, assuming that Ed had a better plan than get absorbed. However, Ed just smirks as he claps his hands together.
''Yea I am.'' He openly admits before becoming serious and slams his hands onto the ground as fast as possible, screaming it out as he feels the Espada feeding on his body. ''BUT I'M A RISKY, SMART FOOL!'' Powerful bolts of electricity flash underneath the Alchemist, consuming his body entirely.
''…'' Next thing Ed knew as he opens his eyes as he's standing in a white void of nothing other than a few ancient gates and one just behind of him. The gate is a pair of doors resembling a set of large stone tablets engraved with a mural, floating in an endless white expanse. Though the gate has nothing behind it which is why it looks like a massive tablet. He recognizes this place all too well just like that day he and his brother tried to bring back their mother.
Ed turns to his gate, staring at it before he turns around and groans. ''Great…'' He begins to express annoyance by the one he's staring before. ''I never thought I would be here again.'' In front of him is a black thing, shaped like a human but without any human features, all except his grinning mouth. This entity Ed knows little about but his name; the Truth.
''Brings back memories huh?'' Truth begins to speak, still smiling to see him again.
''…'' Ed just glares silently, not wanting to relive those painful memories as he tells him off. ''I didn't plan to come back yet until I take back Al's body but I didn't have a choice. I've come to make an Equivalent Exchange with-''
''Oh I know.'' Truth interrupts him still smiling, fully aware why he's here. After all, he knows all. Ed isn't going to question why he knows it and instead asks him. ''And if you know what it is, can it be done.''
Grinning more, Truth then responds as he points his right thumb to the right. ''Why don't we ask your guest?''
Ed sighs, turning to the right and sees Szayelaporro also in this void and his expression says enough that he's taking it so well.
''W-what is this place?'' The Espada questions, awe by where he is and what's looking at. He then sees the tablet-like gate so foreign to him as he turns to look at Edward but then widens his eyes to see a black humanoid entity but his appearance resembles his own minus that grinning face.
''W-what is that black thing, taking on my form?'' Szayelaporro questions, heavily alarmed by this thing. It is not a Hollow but something much more disturbing. Truth just grins, telling him. ''Why, I am you. All things are me.'' As the Espada sees his shape through this thing.
That was an insult to the Espada, denying his ridiculous statement. ''What utter nonsense! Nothing is me! I am original, I am perfection!''
''… Really?'' The Truth, however, asks with a small frown that quickly becomes a grin again. ''Well today is your lucky day! You will become more perfect!''
Szayelaporro looks puzzled as suddenly Ed's gate shakes and begins to open up revealing a dimension a shadowy void with several shadow-like ethereal hands protruding from it and a single large, red pupil eye within. The shapeless void and its extremities look gazing upon Szayelaporro's horrific expression.
''For you will see what lies beyond your gate.'' Truth begins to say as a pair of shadow-like arms stretch out and grab themselves instantly on the Espada. He panics, trying to get away but his body refuses to move as he's pulled towards the gate. ''But be wary; it comes with a price.''
He panics as his body begins to blacken, screaming in panic. ''GET AWAY FROM ME!''
Ed watches as Szayelaporro tries to break free and fly off the grip of these hands but they just pull him faster and harder inside the gate. He's never expressed such terror as he tries to crawl away. ''LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!''
His fingers dig deeper to get away but he couldn't. He soon sees a shadow in front of him, looking forward and it is Ed, looking at the frightened so-called genius.
''You want to know why I'm an alchemist, why I think you're not perfect?'' Ed begins to tell him somberly with a firm gaze as he looks into the abyss. ''Well you're about to find out.''
''AA-'' Szayelaporro tries to utter out only for the hands to finally rip him off his grip and he's pulled into the endless abyss, screaming. ''AAAAAWWWWW!'' The doors of the gates soon close in front of Ed as he breathes heavily, somehow experiencing what he's staring at; the endless knowledge of the Gate of Truth. Only reason he's not screaming is he's been through that already, having gotten used to that.
''Quite a risky, cruel choice you made.'' Edward turns around towards Truth, smirking.
''…'' Ed is silent as he's not happy for what he did but there was no other way to stop him. ''I'm not proud of it, but it had to be done.''
He soon looks back at a Gate that is clearly his brother's, frowning. He gazes back at the so-called Truth and reminds with a finger point. ''I will save my brother. Remember that!''
The Truth just grins as he asks him. ''Do you know what an alchemist, what a human would never risk?''
Ed raises an eyebrow staring at the voidless figure, not sure of the response. Truth just grins, answering him. ''Their own life. Life to them is irreplaceable and yet for you, you risk it for others.''
''…'' Edward is silent by his words, looking away as he mutters with a sadden voice. ''… Someone has to.''
With that said, the Gate opens up again as Ed walks inside willingly, going to face his demons. The Truth watches as the doors close and he grins, knowing he won't disappoint him. ''And that's why you're interested to observe.''
In real time, only a second pass as the lightning vanishes and Ed drops on his knees. Everyone watches confused with Renji asking, dumbfounded to what just happened. ''W-what was that?''
Ed suddenly and immediately throws up the liquid from his mouth as a massive chunk of something drools out from his mouth, follow by vomit. He breathes heavily, spitting out saliva as he yells out, struggling to even shout. ''HATE. YOU! SO. MUCH!''
The others watch, worry if that was Edward or the Espada.
''Ed?'' Danny calls out as the blond headed stands up, grunting as he adjusts his black blazer. Renji becomes cautious as he questions him. ''You sure this is still the short stomp?''
Snapping, Ed turns around and goes into one of his rants, attacking Renji with spinning arm attack resembling windmills. ''WHO'S AS SHORT A FUCKING TREE STOMP THAT WISHES TO GROW UP BUT CAN'T BECAUSE OF THE SOIL!'' The Shinigami panics heavily, actually evading away from his spinning arm attacks.
The others sweat drops with Danny confirming it. ''Yea, it's him.''
Wizard sighs, reverting back as Haruto asks the alchemist. ''What did you do?''
Ed calms down enough, breathing heavily as he looks at him and explains it. ''Equivalent Exchange. I perform it… with him in me.'' As he looks at the vomit of liquid, the remains of Szayelaporro.''
Haruto startles but actually believes him. After all, Wiseman tried to use alchemy and the Sabbath to create the Philosopher's Stone- OH Right. He pulls out the ring. Maybe this could help Ed? He'll have to tell him after they return back to their world.
''I had to go through… that hell again…'' Ed begins to mutter, his head still feeling light headed as he reaches and puts on his red cloak from the dummy statue of himself. ''But I knew the mad genius might become overwhelmed by the Gate of Truth.''
Judai stomps his left fisted hand onto his right palm, remembering that Ed told them of that day he got access to Alchemy without those transmutation circles.
''I had to give up something so I used him as the means for the toll since he was technically a part of me, well was.'' Ed explains, risking that plan on using Human Transmutation on himself. 50-50 it would work or not but he had to try.
Uryu now understands why Ed wanted them to damage Szayelaporro but leave the finishing blow to him. His entire plan was to force the Espada to enter his body and Ed used that for this plan.
''As for him well…'' Ed then begins to say, turning around as he stares at the pile of liquid on the floor, all that remain of Szayelaporro and the worst part is he can't even try to reform even if he wanted to; he lost the thing that gives him function. ''His brain is what he lost; the one thing that he loves above anything else.''
The others eye the pond of their enemy as Edward expresses with a sadden voice. ''Ironic honestly. He thought he was the smartest thing in the world…'' He frowns, feeling petty for him. ''But he's just like the rest of us, a peon in this vast, endless universe.''
He looks at the others with his hands in his right cloak's pockets as he says, almost like telling them he's not like him. ''As a man of science, it's my job to understand life and how it works with the best of my abilities and improve on it for the stake of life itself. Not to use others to make yourself perfect.''
''You didn't need to tell us that. We know you're not like him.'' Danny reminds him, getting the message. Ed isn't so convinced with the life he's lived and the sin of his actions have done to his only brother. Like right now; this was the only way to stop Szayelaporro. Does he regret his choice? Yes… but it was them or him. And even though he is not exactly dead… he kinda is living a fate worse than death.
''… Sometimes I wonder…'' Edward mutters, sometimes wondering if he is, looking back at the pond of liquid that was their enemy. He looks sad, having this but he'll try to move on; for his friends and his promise to Alphonse. He will keep that promise.
''Well I think you're nowhere near like him.'' Everyone looks at Pesche, panting as he's up on his feet as well as Dondochakka, laughing in kindness. ''We think you all are awesome non-enemy guys!''
Edward oddly cracks a smirk as he proclaims. ''We should keep moving with-'' He suddenly staggers and drops on the ground, sitting. This alarms everyone with Judai breathing, also pretty drained too.
''Yea, you guys will need a moment-'' Renji begins to say only to hit the ground too, his Bankai depowered. ''Okay, us too.''
Haruto, however, pulls out a bag of plain sugar doughnuts and eats one before swiping a different ring from his right hand.
''CONNECT, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver chants as an orange portal manifests. He reaches his arms in the portal and pulls out the Machinewinger.
''I can keep going.'' He tells the group, taking another doughnut bite. ''Besides, I'm sure the others will come soon.'' He mounts on his bike as he slides on his helmet and pushes down its visors. ''Try to catch up.''
He revs the engines and drives off across the sands of the desert. Ed scoffs as that guy is way too cool for them.
Danny is still good on energy as he suggests to the others. ''I should follow him or find the others too.''
''Go. You're more useful out there than here.'' Edward advises him, knowing they can't find Yugi and the others faster and much easier but him. Danny nods but not before Judai warns him. ''Watch your back Danny! Remember, we still got scarier Espada guys to deal with''
Danny sighs, fully aware of that especially with the white chalkboard Espada out there. He shoots upward and flies off with his legs becoming ghost legs, flying away at medium top speed. The others watch as they hope the others are doing better.
Running as fast as possible within the tower he's in, Kurosaki looks for any clues where Momomiya is, already in his Bankai form and Nel gripping on his right shoulder.
''Hey, Itsygo!'' She begins to call out to the Substitute Shinigami but no response. Ichigo is thinking deeply on what the former Espada, Dordonii, told him about truly becoming a demon in order to fight other demons. Will that really be the only way to fight the Espadas or Aizen? Can he really-
''ITSYGO!'' Ichigo snaps out from his deep thoughts by Nel's scream follow by her biting his shoulder. He yells in panic, stopping on his tracks and questions her loudly. ''WHAT?!''
Nel eyes him, worryingly as she tells him. ''I felt something up ahead! Like outside.''
The orange headed raises an eyebrow as he focuses and detects a fight and a familiar energy fighting over there. He soon startles, uttering out. ''That's Chad!''
He can tell his friend is struggling and doesn't waste time, dashing to the closest wall and slashes through it, exploding it and shoots out of the tower.
On the other side of the outside of the tower, Sado is tossed aside and hits through a wall.
''WAA!'' He yells, hitting the sand ground badly hurt.
''Damn weakling.'' Approaching really unsatisfied, Nnoitra expresses with his open front teeth showing as he carries his massive scythe/axe weapon over his shoulder. ''To think I have to face this damn weakling again!'' He was actually expecting a challenge, not an easy win.
''Nnoitra-sama, we should worry about dealing with the rest of the intruders-'' His subordinate, Tesla, tries to suggest about going after the other intruders but immediately the Espada with a death glare as he shuts him up angrily. ''SHUT UP, TESLA! I decide who I want to go after!''
Gulping, Tesla simply obeys. Nnoitra soon grins, admitting that he's not wrong to suggest that but he also enjoys making his victims to suffer.
''Now where was I?'' The Espada begins to question, walking up over Sado and starts stomping his foot across his back and keeps doing so over and over. Nnoitra just laughs of enjoyment, going to make break this one slowly so-
The Espada suddenly stops as he feels something near his throat. Tesla staggers as Ichigo has just suddenly appear, pointing Tensa Zangetsu across his master's neck.
''Stop stomping on my friend.'' Ichigo orders him coldly. Nnoitra soon dashes away, distancing himself as he grins, recognizing him.
''Oh hey, you're the human Shinigami weakling that Grimmjow can't even beat.'' He proclaims with a smug smirk. ''What fancy seeing you-'' His words are cut off as he's suddenly blasted across the chest by a Getsuga Tensho that Ichigo fire, blasting away. Tesla barely saw it as he runs to his master's aid, shouting. ''Nnoitra-sama!''
Nel is speechless as Ichigo twirls his blade before turning around and rushes to his friend's aid.
''Chad, you're alright?'' He asks him, trying to pull him up. Chad breathes heavily, eyeing him and smiles; being saved by him again. ''I-Ichigo…''
Ichigo just smirks, telling him. ''Oi, relax pal. You'll pay me back once-''
''I-Itsygo, w-we need to run away.'' Ichigo becomes alarm, eyeing Nel on her back and she looks freak out. He doesn't follow until he feels a rush of Spiritual Energy flying out from behind him.
''Oi!'' Ichigo turns around fast, guarding in the last second as Nnoitra, coming at him undamaged, swings his weapon upon the tiny jet black blade, sparks flying out between both weapons. He grins, expressing his joy of that last weak attack. ''That tickle.''
Ichigo glares, holding his ground as he pushes the massive weapon back as he swings at his chest, slashing him but he widens his eyes as the blade only cause sparks to fly out across the enemy's chest. He quickly backs away so Chad doesn't get in the crossfire.
''Bastard, are you an Espada?'' Ichigo questions the enemy who grins. He sticks out his tongue, revealing an Espada tattoo with the number 5 on it.
''Nnoitra Gilga, Fifth Espada.'' Nnoitra introduces himself to the orange headed. ''And I'm a hell a lot stronger than that weakling Grimmjow!''
Ichigo glares, worried as this guy should be stronger than Grimmjow but weaker than Ulquiorra. Guess he doesn't have a choice but to fight him.
''Like I care! I'll defeat you Espada and save Momomiya!'' He declares determinedly, charging at him. Nnoitra grins as he responds back, charging as well. ''And you'll fail too!''
The two swing their weapons, clashing again fiercely. Nnoitra grins at this, going to finally enjoy himself.
Ichigo grits his teeth, holding his ground as this guy is strong. He'll need his Hollow Mask to-
''GAAAW!'' Ichigo startles, narrowing his eyes to see Chad getting slashed by Tesla across his back. ''Chad!''
This distraction allows Nnoitra to stomp kick Ichigo so hard across the gut, staggering him, before launching him and crashing on the sand, somersaulting before he hits the ground as well as sending Nel off Ichigo's back and hits on the sand too.
Annoyed by this, Nnoitra turns around at his lackey and commands him furiously. ''Tesla! Do not interfere!''
The Arrancar startles as he backs away from the injured Chad. Nnoitra scoffs irritated as he starts saying while approaching Ichigo. ''Honestly, I taught you better! Using this weakling's friend is useless unless I get more pleasure out of-'' However, his words are interrupted as his eye caught Nel and it widens heavily, almost traumatized him temporarily before calming down.
''Oh…'' Slowly forming a grin as he now approaches her and stands over the little child. She looks up and panics with frightened eyes.
''Long time huh, Neliel.'' Nnoitra asks her with a smug, evil grin; not expecting this turnaround but loving it already.
Ichigo, now transformed as Mew Ichigo, reaches the tower that Harribel instructed her to come. She sighs of relief; glad no one took her Mew Pendant. Weird though? That or Aizen is that confident she couldn't escape. Well look who's talking now!
''This must be the place…'' She says softly, running inside the tower. She moves swiftly to reach what resembles prison cells. Huh? Guess she got lucky living with Harribel and the girls than this lonely place.
''Hello? Anyone here Nya?'' Ichigo calls out, checking each room. So far no one seems to be in any of these-
''Momomiya-chan?'' Mew Ichigo soon blinks awkwardly, a voice calling out to her as she turns to the next cell door. She sweats, actually recognizing that voice but no; why the hell would she be here?
She rushes over and pokes inside only to be facing at the one in the locked cell: Orihime Inoue. The cat girl has a freak out expression, droplets of sweat falling off her head before she screams out in a shocking panic with freak out eyes. ''NYAA?! O-ORIHIME-CHAN NYA?!''
Szayelaporro has been defeated but will the others of Team Dragon Knight handle the Espada of Despair?
To be continued…
(ENDING 1: Motherland by Crystal Kay by Fullmetal Alchemist)
Next Time…
Ichigo is struggling against Nnoitra as he learns a shocking truth about the little girl who's been close to him. Refusing to give up on her as the Espada torments her; he tries to protect her but it isn't turning in his favor… until Naruto arrives before them. Glaring at the Espada he struggled before, Naruto has his rematch against the Fifth Espada with his new power.
Judai: So that Truth guy, is he God or-
Edward snarls: I HOPE NOT. I might pop a vein if he is.
Judai: More than you've already have?
Edward gives him a cold gaze.
Ichigo: Do you mind? We're in a middle of our own fight.
Edward: Yea-yea. Naruto, go say your thing.
Naruto just nods as he proclaims serious: Yosh. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Grudge Match! The Power of a Sage! Please remember to read, enjoy and review.
Edward blinks: Huh?
Judai: Yea, Naruto is not playing around anymore!
Author's Note: RIP Szayelaporro… I know about the Hell Arc but like that's a little late to do anything with. I WILL SAY THIS… Bleach's new manga arc (when we get there) and Boruto will not be things (sort of) in the future of DKR (since it will end with the TYBW and War Arcs). Some elements may become a thing but I won't say which ones. And if they're added, they'll be different than canon.
So I did a FMA thing too with the Gate of Truth. Happy I did that as without Mayuri to kill Szayelaporro, something else had to happen to finish him so why not this risky gamble Ed did. This is not farfetched. He did that with Gluttony in the series (and will likely do that again in DKR?) and it was ironic too.
Next time, Sage Naruto joins the fight!
Early upload for a reason!
So last week, my laptop broke, AGAIN. This time the processor and I still don't know if it can be fixed or what. So how am I am to upload here? Simple. I had to spend money to fix my brother's old laptop and use it as my current one or most likely my current laptop... if it doesn't break too. So right now that's the plan.
I was debating to extend the time on the next chapter of DKR to one more week due to this... BUT screw it! I want you guys to enjoy these next chapters. I will likely make it 2 weeks after Chapter 11. We'll see! I will let you guys know when we get there.
For now, enjoy the next chapter next week!
