Volume 6: Chapter 9: Guts above Despair! Defeat the Impenetrable Iron of Hatred!
Previously in DKR:
Mew Ichigo found Orihime as the other prisoner, surprised that she was captured by Aizen for his Hogyoku thing. Orihime asks her to leave her here, wanting to be useful and destroy the crystal that Aizen has such importance for… but Ichigo declines, not going to leave her here. They try to escape, even when things were bad when Loly appeared but Ichigo made sure it didn't become a problem… until Grimmjow appeared and spared the cat girl after he took Orihime to get Kurosaki to fight him. Mew Ichigo sweat dropped, helpless to do anything as they vanished and now she's searching for Yugi.
Ichigo was in a dangerous fight against the 5th Espada, Nnoitra, as he revealed that Nel was once an Espada, wanting to discourage the Shinigami to abandon her. Of course that was not who Ichigo was; refusing to let this monster hurt his friend. He tried to protect her but was obviously outnumbered until Naruto arrived, fully charged in Sage Mode. He assisted in beating down Tesla and engaged Nnoitra, settling their rematch from long ago. However, this time Naruto is much superior to base Nnoitra but he was still new to Sage Mode and was sucker punched by the transformed Tesla. Ichigo protected Nel as he was beaten up heavily. Watching in dismay, Nel couldn't watch anymore and through this emotional moment; it reawakened her true form and slaughtered Tesla.
Thanking the two, Nelliel now prepared to engage Nnoitra. Will our group defeat such a foe?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... last left off:
Ed and group breathes, recovering some of their strength; wondering how Haruto and Danny are doing finding-
"There they are!'' Blinking, they turn to see Usagi and Sonic's group arriving together in the wide open space that once stood a tower. Rukia smiles to see Renji and the others are okay.
"What happened here?!'' Ruby expresses in surprise, seeing destroyed walls and stuff all over them. Ed hums, trying to explain it in a way that won't sound… cruel or evil.
''Eh well… You see-'' He begins to explain only for Judai to reveal the truth, straightforwardly. ''We killed an Espada! And you guys?''
Usagi startles with Ed pointing his finger viciously at Judai, yelling at him with an enraged face. ''IDIOT! DON'T SAY IT IN A WAY LIKE-''
''Same!'' Usagi soon speaks up smiling to Edward's shock, his pupils shrink and drop his jaw. Even Renji is left speechless, not sure how to feel.
''Us too but Shadow took my thunder.'' Sonic also says with a narrow gaze towards the black hedgehog; wanting to beat the voodoo guy without killing him. Shadow scoffs as he questions him, his arms still crossed. ''Are you still complaining about that?'' Sonic shakes his flat hand, so-so still mad.
Ruby is awed, looking down as everyone is able to commit. Is this what a hero should do? No, she can still do things differently; well that's the idea. She snaps out as she asks curiously. ''And the others?''
''Haruto went ahead as did Danny.'' Judai explains that the two went to find the others while they were recovering their strengths. Ed rested plenty, stretching his arms and legs as he proclaims, adjusting the flexibility of his automail arm. ''Might as well join them.''
''… Catch up then.'' Shadow then proclaims as he suddenly teleports before the group's surprises. Ruby thinks and smiles. ''Best I follow him!'' She's wrapped in her cloak, vanishing leaving behind rose petals.
Ed sweat drops heavily with a paralyzed expression, uttering out defeated. ''… N-Not on your own, idiots.'' He drops his head at how reckless they are. Judai just smiles, hoping the others are okay. He is surprised no one noticed that Uryu straight up left. Guess he wanted to help out too.
Pesche and Dondochakka are the quietest, sensing this familiar Spiritual Energy and knew who it was; their eyes shining brightly that she's returned!
Gritting his teeth, Nnoitra glares enraged as he's been looking at the woman who always looks down upon him. He got rid of her and yet she's back to irritate him.
''Even now you haunt me with those damn eyes!'' Nnoitra begins to proclaim before he snaps and charges at her like a wild beast, wanting to devour his prey. ''NELLIEL!''
Sighing, Nelliel vanishes before his eyes, shocking him. She then appears behind him, swinging her sword with a slashing upward pose. Nnoitra barely has time to react as he guards with the ends of his weapon and blocks the slash but the impact launches and blasts him away with ease.
Landing on his feet, Nnoitra lets out a furious battle cry before coming at her again. He swings faster at her but Nelliel side-steps with ease swing, evading each strike. Nnoitra becomes madder as he swings a strong swing but Nelliel blocks and easily withstands it to his dismay that she overpowers his strength and pushes him off his guard and lands a swift slash across his chest. Nnoitra gasps as he thrusted into the ground, skidding across the sand. He pants heavily, gritting as Nelliel continues to look down at him; confirming that his skills have not improved since all those years ago.
''AWESOME! Nel- Nelliel-chan is super strong!'' Naruto proclaims astonishingly. Ichigo is quiet, agreeing with him. The way she moves and her swordsmanship is like he's expected.
''She really is an Espada.'' He comments with Naruto panicking, uttering out in surprise. ''WAIT REALLY?!'' Ichigo makes a face, wondering how his mind works sometimes.
Nnoitra growls as he comes at her again but Nelliel parries and reflects his swings with little minimum effort.
''You still rely on strength and power over skills and self-improvement.'' She begins to lecture him, frowning at his growth and sighs of disappointment. ''You're still the same as I last fought you.''
''Shut up!'' Nnoitra yells out furiously as he comes at her again, this time pushing Nelliel back to her dismay as he nearly slashes her if she doesn't dodge it swiftly.
''You're weaker, losing that edge from long ago!'' He points out smirking, having been fighting while Nelliel has been a child for too long, unable to train like she used to. She calms down, expressing calmly. ''And yet it changes nothing. I will not lose to you.''
This crosses Nnoitra who vows with a raging voice. ''THEN I'LL CRACK YOUR SKULL ONCE MORE!'' He sticks out his tongue, charging up swirls of energy on the tip of his tongue and fires his destructive beam at her. ''CERO!''
Nelliel stands her ground as the beam is coming at her and she isn't even moving. Naruto panics but Ichigo can feel her Spiritual Energy building up. The beam connects only to get absorbed in Nelliel's mouth, sucking it up to Nnoitra's horror, forgetting she can do that.
Fully absorbing it, she soon lets out a shout as she fires a pink energy blast from her mouth. ''DOBLE CERO!'' The blast is fast and connects, exploding upon Nnoitra. The smoke of the attack spreads but Nnoitra emerges from the smoke, scoffing as he takes some damage.
''I will not let you get the best out of me, ever again!'' He yells out furiously, coming down at her as Nelliel engages him with another sword clash.
Ichigo is still amazed by Nel's skills but Naruto notices with Sage Mode that Nelliel is slowing down, seeing her panting suddenly. He gives Ichigo a look and he actually reads it.
Indeed, Nelliel begins to breathe, noticing her lack of using this body but worst she feels her energy is draining fast. Nnoitra grins, just noticing it as he speeds up right in front of her, shocking her as he holds his weapon over his head.
''YOU'RE DONE FOR!'' He shouts, swinging downward to finally cut her again only to get a palm strike across the gut chest by Naruto.
''FROG KUMITE!'' He shouts as he presses his fist and the impact blasts the Espada away who grinds his feet onto the sand. He gasps heavily as Naruto stands in his way as does Kurosaki even as his back is still bleeding.
''N-Naruto! Ichigo!'' Nelliel utters in shock as Naruto gives her a nod. ''Don't push yourself, Nelliel-chan.''
''Leave this to us!'' Ichigo declares, not going to let her fight him and get hurt again. Nelliel eyes them with a small frown, feeling wrong to be protected when she can fight but she can't deny their want to protect her.
Nnoitra breathes in deep hisses, his eyes showing veins to see them.
''DAMN PESTS!'' He yells furiously, about to charge forward until a voice shouts out loudly. ''KUROSAKI!''
Ichigo immediately makes a face of terror, recognizing that voice as he yells complaining, turning his head to the side. ''AH DAMN IT!''
Watching as he crashes onto the sand ground, Grimmjow arrives with a smug smirk. This shocks everyone with Nnoitra uttering in dismay. ''Grimmjow? A weakling came to help me?''
''Help you? Why the hell should I-'' Grimmjow begins to protest but his words are interrupted as he notices Nelliel and his eyes stagger. ''Isn't that-'' He questions, actually looking at a ghost. He even drops Orihime who lands on the sand, grunting as her eyes are spinning before she grabs the sides of her head, eyeing Ichigo and utters in surprise. ''K-Kurosaki-kun!''
The orange headed Shinigami blinks awkwardly before he loses it. ''… Eh, Inoue?!'' He yelps in shock as he points, horrified to see in this hellish place. ''WAA! WHY ARE YOU HERE?!''
Orihime blushes awkwardly too; not meaning to make him panic like that as she utters nervously. ''W-well um… You see… I…''
Growling as she's not getting the point, the blue haired Espada reveals. ''Long story short, Ulquiorra took her under Aizen's order. I've returned her to you so we can settle our score.''
Ichigo makes a face, awed that he would do that but he's not against it.
''But you know, I'm going to postpone it.'' He soon forms an eager grin towards Nnoitra, wanting to chop down this scum. ''I want to kill that bastard first.''
Nnoitra hisses madly, not believing he would do this to him at a time like this!
Naruto is a little thankful for this until he gets a big idea, turning to the long orange head and he asks her. ''Orihime-chan, please heal her!'' As he points to Nelliel, breathing as she touches her head. ''Just heal her cracked skull head thingy! Trust me!''
Orihime makes a face, not sure about this but Ichigo nods in agreement. She doesn't need to question him as she responds determinedly. ''R-right!''
''Oh and heal his back too.'' Naruto then tells her, pointing at Ichigo's back, who gives him a look. He doesn't have time to-
''Get healed, idiot!'' Kicking right into Orihime's side, Grimmjow threatens his stubbornness. He wants a rematch; not a one-sided handicap.
Kurosaki groans as Orihime blushes as she chants as 3 of her hairpin pedals fly out. "Soten Kisshun, I reject!" A warm orange barrier manifests, surrounding Nelliel and Ichigo as Orihime begins to ''heal'' them. The former Espada startles as she begins to feel well as does Ichigo.
''Grimmjow…'' Uttering out enraged by his choice, Nnoitra loses it and charges at him furiously. ''YOU DAMN TRAITOR!''
Turning around as he forms a small smirk, Grimmjow blocks and clashes against Nnoitra's weapon with his sword. Sparks fly out as he tells the 5th Espada off. ''Oi, us Espada have no reason to be allies with each other.'' He then pushes him back and kicks him only for Nnoitra to block the kick with his foot but it still pushes him backwards. ''Especially someone who looks down at everyone for being weak.''
Nnoitra still hisses as he comes at him only to get blasted by Naruto's Rasengan.
''Time to settle this.'' Naruto declares, coming at him until a shadow forms above him. He panics, looking up and it is Tesla, still wounded but furious as he roars. ''YOU WILL NOT HARM NNOITRA-SAMA!''
Naruto times it and dashes backwards, evading his massive fist as he comes charging and jabs him with his elbow that pushes him forward, cracking the side of his body. He gasps, twirling but stomping his feet to not fall backwards.
''You just don't-'' Naruto begins to declare, crossing his fingers to form another Shadow Clone until his Sage Mode wears off again. ''… Crap.'' He mutters out in panic.
Naruto tries to leap back but Tesla lands in front of him, thrusting his fists towards him as he roars. ''YOU WILL DIE!''
''NARUTO!'' Kurosaki shouts, trying to get up but the fists were coming at Naruto too fast. They soon connected but not onto the shinobi but metal. Naruto blinks awkwardly as the giant double fisted attack is blocked by a shield, Alicia's shield as she holds her ground in her Valkyria form.
"What? IMPOSSIBLE!'' Tesla utters in dismay while Nnoitra watches with a growl; more pests show up.
''Phew, just barely.'' Running up, Ryan pants heavily as he's relieved they spotted that light from earlier.
''Alicia-chan, Ryan!'' Naruto utters out of joy, glad to see them. Alicia smiles, also glad they're okay as Ryan expresses with a small grin. "See, told you this was the right path.''
''Not complaining.'' She responds before gazing firmly at the enemy, slamming his fists onto her shield and not budging.
''DAMN HUMANS!'' Tesla roars, full on berserk while Nnoitra notices something is really wrong with this. ''Wait Tesla!'' He begins to warn him but he's nearly slashed by Grimmjow who comes at him.
Annoyed by his banging, Alicia bashes and pushes the Arrancar backwards as the stunned Arrancar sees Ryan running at him, extending back his right fist as he shouts. ''DRAGONAUN BIG BLOW!'' He thrusts that arm forward and punches upon the Arrancars's chest with such force and impact that it breaks his bones.
Tesla yells in agony, actually paralyzed by the blow. He tries to move only for his pupils to shrink down, staring down at Alicia, already in front of him, as she aims her lance towards him.
''So long.'' Alicia bids her goodbye with a wink before her eyes burn red and her lance erupts in intense blue flames, shouting out madly. ''BLUE FLAME!'' She ignites a blast of intense flames, burning and vaporizing Tesla, not even able to scream as only his bottom half of his body dropped, badly burned too.
Nnoitra watches this and he grits his large teeth, grinding them furiously.
''Tesla… that fool…'' He begins muttering about the death of his second-in-command but not by how easy he died but by who as he loses his temper. ''DYING BY A WOMAN!'' His Spiritual Energy erupts to Ryan's worries while Alicia glares firmly.
''Sexist much.'' She proclaims, causing Naruto to stagger as he remembers that's the word that he wanted to call that Espada before they fought. ''OH YEA! THAT'S THE WORD!''
Breathing heavily as he just lost his servant, Nnoitra has had enough. ''ENOUGH OF THESE DAMN GAMES!'' He begins to scream as he quickly lifts up his scythe over his head. ''PRAY!''
The group watches in alarm as Nnoitra's weapon pours out spiritual energy from the empty space of the blade. In that instant his entire body explodes in spiritual energy, altering and entering his Resurrección form.
''SANTA TERESA!'' Yelling as he swings his dual weapons, Nnoitra emerges in his full-power form. Grimmjow scoffs, figuring he would go all out.
Naruto stares as he grunts, having flashes of that form when he was possessed by the Nine-Tails. He groans as that means he has to beat this time.
Will our group do the impossible?
Commercial Break:
Alicia sighs annoyed: I really wished we didn't have to fight this guy but too late to complain.
Naruto: Don't worry. This is where we finish this!
Alicia sweat drops, really hoping to avoid fighting an actual Espada since their last foe was a strong Arrancar but NOPE.
''So this is an actual Espada…'' Ryan comments, gulping as he realizes how scary these guys really are before he laughs awkwardly. ''At least it's only one of him.''
This doesn't cheer the Valkyria up as she tells Naruto. ''Guess we don't have a choice but to beat him together.''
''Yea! I just need some time.'' He responds, needing time to set up Sage Mode. Alicia nods, going to give him time. Naruto then runs up to Orihime healing Nelliel after she heals Kurosaki at full strength. He then asks her in a panic. ''Please heal her quickly, I have a plan!'' He whispers something to Nelliel, surprising her before she eyes him and nods. Naruto smirks, hoping for that plan.
Ryan spots Chad and rushes to his aid, trying to pull him where Orihime is healing the other woman as Naruto pulls out his scroll. Nnoitra sees this and charges at him only to get intercepted by Alicia, glaring as she reflects him with her flaming shield.
''DIE!'' Nnoitra yells enraged, swinging his weapons at her but Alicia parries them with thrusting strikes and blocking with her shield. The Espada grins as he forms extra weapons with his extra arms, swinging one of them at her weak point but Alicia nearly manages to dodge it and then twirls her body, her lance engulfed in flames as she blocks another swing from the four arm.
''FLAME LANCER!'' She shouts, thrusting her blue flaming lance at him but Nnoitra tanks it with a grin; knowing nothing can-
Suddenly the flames explode upon him to his dismay, blasting him backwards and scourging most of his body.
''I WILL SHRED YOU INTO-'' Beginning to yell enraged by that, Nnoitra pounces forward at her with all four weapons. Alicia tries to guard until a blur intercepts and pushes the Espada backwards with a single swing. It's Ichigo, now donning his Hollow Mask as he lets out deep hissing breaths.
''I won't let you harm anymore of my friend!'' He proclaims as he dashes at him and with one clean, unseen swing; Ichigo slashes off one of Nnoitra's arms to his dismay. ''MY ARM?!''
''DRAGONAUN WAVE METAL!'' Taking this chance, Ryan joins in with the Dragon Braver and swings an energy wave from his sword, composed of metal. The energy wave hits Nnoitra's chest, causing him to vibrate before stunning him. It stuns him enough for Ichigo to come at him and swings the arm but to his surprise so did Grimmjow, slashing his other arm.
Nnoitra screams in agony as two more of his arms are slashed off. Losing control of his temper, the Espada lets out a furious shriek as he reforms new arms and generates new scythe weapons too. ''DAMN YOU! YOU TWO DIE FIRST!'' He comes at him only for Naruto's voice to shout. ''FROG KUMITE!'' The air literally punches Nnoitra away from the two, staggering him as he turns to eye to see that spiky blond head again.
Naruto smirks, using that time to summon another clone from his scroll to expel it and enter Sage Mode for a third time. Nnoitra lets out a furious cry as he comes at him, swinging his scythe blades that Naruto catches two as the other two swing horizontally towards both sides of his rips only for two clones to manifest and catch them too. The Espada growls, trying to push his swings forward only to get kicked by Kurosaki and punched by Ryan, blasting him away.
''BLUE FLAME!'' Taking aim, Alicia fires her torrent of fiery blue flames right at him. Nnoitra turns to see the flames coming at him but he evades with Sonido, moving away only to panic as Grimmjow is behind him. He laughs sinisterly, firing a Cero with his left hand that hits him directly and vaporizes two arms.
Nnoitra groans angrily, tanking the attack as he reforms two new arms and scythes. He turns and swings his weapons at the Espada but Naruto intercepts with a strong kick and then performs Frog Kumite to strike both main arms. The Espada widens his eyes as his arms drop down in place as well as dropping the weapons, paralyzed to his horror. Naruto then crosses fingers and creates two Shadow Clones, each forming a Rasengan on both of the original's palms.
''RASENGAN BARRAGE!'' Naruto shouts, dashing forward and slams the enhanced double Rasengan across Nnoitra's chest and blasts him backwards. He grinds his feet across the sand, his chest steaming of heat and pain from that attack.
''Huff… Huff…'' Nnoitra breathes heavily, staggeringly as he looks up and startled by Naruto's firm look of disappointment.
''That look…'' The Espada utters, taken back that a split moment; he saw a reflection of the old Nelliel from back then. He slowly grits his teeth, losing it as he screams furiously. ''YOU DARE MOCK ME!'' He charges only to get thrusted by Alicia's lance and then Ichigo slashes him back.
''Last round!'' Naruto declares as his clones surround him and they begin to form a Rasengan in the palm of the original as the clones rotate and reshape it. The others notice it, meaning this is Naruto's last trick to finish the fight.
Nnoitra just shrieks in anger as he sticks his tongue and bites on it. Blood drips from it as the liquid swirls around the tip of his tongue and begins charging up energy. Grimmjow panics, warning the others. ''DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT FIRES!''
Nodding without a second thought, Alicia cries out as flames raging in her lance. She takes aim and fires a destructive blue torrent of flames. ''BLUE FLAME!''
''DRAGONAUN WAVE SAND!'' Ryan shouts, swinging and firing an energy slash made out of sand.
Standing beside them, Sado is restored as he extends back his shield arm and shouts, thrusting it as he shouts. ''EL DIRECTO!'' He fires a beam of light from it.
Howling, Ichigo surges in black-red energy and swings a destructive wave. ''GETSUGA TENSHO!''
The three fire their attacks along with Grimmjow, firing a Cero. Nnoitra just laughs as he shouts excitedly. ''DIE! GRAN REY CERO!'' He fires a much grander, more powerful Cero blast that collides and clashes against the 5 other attacks. It seems certain that the group's combined attacks should be enough but Nnoitra's is pushing their efforts with ease.
Nnoitra laughs excitedly, knowing none of them will survive-
Just then, he hears sharp shrieks, almost wind. Nnoitra turns and slowly widens his eyes to see the gleaming, sharp sounding attack that Naruto is forming. It's the Rasenshuriken.
''THIS WILL DECIDE IT!'' Naruto begins to shout furiously as he extends his arm back, holding his ultimate large, spiraling sphere, Shuriken-shaped technique. ''WIND RELEASE: RASENSHURIKEN!'' He immediately swings the arm holding the attack forward and literally throws the Rasenshuriken, moving through the air like a projectile.
This shocks everyone with Alicia and Ichigo freaking out in unity. ''HE CAN THROW IT NOW?!''
The Rasenshuriken spins faster and travels so fast that it collides upon the other's attacks and begins to absorb their attacks to Kurosaki's amazement and expands in size. Nnoitra panics as Naruto's attack actually cuts through his Gran Rey Cero, splitting it through.
Nnoitra panics as the shuriken flies right at him but he dodges with Sonido in the last second and reappears above them. Everyone panics but Naruto smirks, shouting out excitedly. ''NOW, NELLIEL-CHAN!''
''WHAT?!'' Nnoitra yells in shock, turning around in slow motion and slowly widens his 1 eye in horror to see her. Nelliel is standing in front of the moving Rasenshuriken as she begins to absorb it, inhaling calmly and with such focus and speed. The part that shocked the 5th Espada is that the skull head of Nelliel and her scar from long ago are completely healed and restored.
''Oh… crap…'' He utters in dismay, too stunned before Nelliel smiles and soon shouts, shooting out the combined attack she absorbed right above him. ''DOBLE CERO!'' She fires a much larger pink Cero blast, quickly hitting and consuming Nnoitra too fast for him to react. The attack consumes him and explodes upon impact, releasing a destructive radius of power.
''GAAAAWWW!'' Nnoitra screams in agony as the attack heavily damages him and he drops and hits the ground instantly.
''Wow…'' Ichigo utters in astonishment with Alicia and Ryan nodding. Grimmjow scoffs with a small smirk.
''Good thinking with that-'' Kurosaki begins to praise Naruto's plan with Nelliel… until he turns and startles that Naruto is gone. ''Naruto?'' He looks around, not seeing him.
Nelliel breathes calmly, turning to the direction of where Nnoitra crashed. She frowns, knowing this fight will end with his death and she can't help but feel bad for what comes next.
Gasping in pain, Nnoitra tries to stand up but his body is actually trembling, losing his extra arms that refuse to regrow. It isn't by Nelliel's Cero but that thing she absorbed from that pest. It's like his body has been pierced by needles and even his Hierro can't work.
''D-Damn it…'' He gasps in agony and disgust, not believing he would lose like this. No, he can still be the victor. He will break her again and kill all of them and then… His train of thought is interrupted by a shadow as he looks forward and widens his only eye.
(Now playing OST: Hurricane from… Boruto (It is a really good song… not the series))
''You…'' He utters as Naruto is standing there, glaring with a Shadow Clone beside him. Naruto is more than certain; he's going to end this fight here and now.
Nnoitra looks at him with disdain, recalling the monster this human became doesn't compare to what power he has now. It's insulting, it's not possible; it's like a damn nightmare!
''How…'' He begins to question before he snaps in intense fury. ''HOW CAN YOU HAVE THIS MUCH POWER LEFT?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!''
Raising his right arm forward and pointing it at him, Naruto responds confidently and firmly. ''I'm the guy who will become the future Hokage, the guy who has no limits and never gives up! The guy with the greatest of friends and power to fight beside them!''
He glares seriously at him as his Sage Mode eyes shine brightly as he and his clone begin to form a Rasengan on the original's right hand. ''Someone like you who fights for yourself and your hatred towards everyone can never beat me, ever!'' He vows patiently, never going to lose to him.
Those words were a mockery to Nnoitra, causing him to snap all of his remaining patience.
''You arrogant…'' Beginning to speak with such disgust, Nnoitra screams as he comes charging at him. ''WEAK BASTARD!'' He swings with both scythe weapons but Naruto and his clone leap over his swings. He watches as Naruto forms another Massive Rasengan but this time it continues growing more and more, becoming so large that it eclipses Nnoitra to his absolute dread.
''I'll bet this will be the first time you've ever been hit by an attack like this head-on!'' Naruto begins to shout as his clone vanishes, grabbing hold on the growing sphere. ''Hope you savor it!''
The size of his spiraling energy sphere is so large that it resembles a small moon. Nnoitra panics as he shoots out another Cero but Naruto immediately swings the attack forward, completely overpowering it and nullifying it as he descends rapidly at him. Nnoitra growls as he thrusts his blades into the attack and immediately they flatten and dissolve in his very eye.
''SUPERMASSIVE RASENGAN!'' Naruto, his eyes for a moment altering into the Kyuubi eyes but also Sage eyes, shouts as he thrusts the massive attack right upon the Espada. The impact pins and slams not just Nnoitra but shakes the very ground, erupting and carving through the ground while the sand blasts upward in its near vicinity and pressure.
''T-THIS CANNOT…'' Yelling mentally, trying to hold it on with his superior Hierro; Nnoitra is gritting his teeth in such pain as his own defenses are failing him. ''BE POSSIBLE?!'' The attack finally overpowers him and explodes in a bright sphere of light that everyone can see.
''AAAAWWWW!'' Nnoitra lets out a horrific scream before he's silent and the attack vanishes. What remains is a massive crater as Naruto gently floats and lands on the ground, panting heavily in sweat, steam floating out from his hand.
(End of OST)
The others run to see this and are amazed that Naruto finished him off.
''He did it…'' Ichigo comments while Ryan nods with a smile.
''He's grown.'' Alicia, reverting back to her normal form, comments with a soft smile. However, that moment lasts until Naruto holds forward his right hand and begins to shout in agony, freaking out as he does. ''IT HURTS! WHY DID I DECIDE IT WAS A GOOD IDEA MAKING A GIGANTIC RASENGAN LIKE THAT?!'' He starts crying in agony as his hand bones were sticking out and bleeding intensely.
''…'' Most of the group are silent, sweat dropping while Alicia sighs, uttering upsetly. ''I'll go get the idiot so Orihime can heal him.'' She runs off to get the crying baby while Nelliel watches and smiles softly, thinking he's still pretty cool. In fact; they were all.
As she takes Naruto to be healed; struggling to even move, Nnoitra gasps heavily and breathes. His arms are crippled; his body isn't moving; he can't even get up. He grits his teeth, not believing a mere human could hurt him this badly.
''D-damn him…'' He curses out, trying to do anything even more until he sees a figure approaching him.
''H-Help me…'' He begs, sounding annoyed to even ask for help but he has to live so he can kill that-
''Help you?'' Nnoitra widens his half closed eye, looking up to see the Sixth Espada above him. Smirking, Grimmjow pulls back the collar of his jacket and shows the scar that Nnoitra cut him from the time he fought the Dragon Knight and the cat girl human. He blocked the attack but it still scratched his skin, scarring him.
''You remember this?'' He asks the defeated Fifth Espada with a twisted grin as he remarks a similar line he told him from back then. ''Didn't you tell those two that you would finish the job that this weak Espada couldn't?'' As he charges up a Cero with his right palm, aiming it at his head.
''… YOU SON OF-'' Terrified at first, Nnoitra snaps and begins to scream furious before Grimmjow fires the shot and then absolute silence. Nnoitra's body soon falls limp, not even stirring to move. He was dead.
Grimmjow looks down at his dead body and finds it ironic; a comeuppance most suited for an Arrancar as boastful and opportunist as him. The fool. He starts chuckling a bit though as he proclaims. ''Now I'm a step closer to being the true King.''
He soon uses Sonido to return back to the others, watching as Orihime finishes healing Naruto's body who sighs of relief. He grins as his right hand was good as new, better than ever actually as his Chakra is back on max.
''You guys really took a beaten.'' Ryan comments on how bad Ichigo, Chad and Naruto had in their fight. Chad nods, just relief that he's still breathing.
Alicia nods as she eyes Nelliel before she asks Kurosaki. ''So who is she? She looks familiar.''
Ichigo sweat drops, not sure where to-
''That's Nelliel-chan!'' Naruto speaks up with a grin, not caring how weird that sounds.
''Ah, I see…'' Alicia begins to say with a soft nod, her hand under her chin… until she immediately widens her eyes and lets out an open mouth, a loud shocking expression. ''HUH?!''
Soon Ryan freaks out heavily, uttering nervously. ''H-HOW?!''
Ichigo scratches the back of his head, not even sure how as he just says. ''Like you're asking the wrong person for this. This stuff always happens.''
''Yea, like my Harem Technique! I can show you-'' Naruto begins to say with a grin only to get pinched across his ear by Alicia, warning him annoyed. ''You do that stupid technique and I will break your ribs!''
Naruto sobs in agony but also shocked that she knows about that, trying to say nervously. ''H-How do you-''
''Ichigo told me.'' Alicia responds as she releases her fingers off his ear. Blinking, Naruto immediately points his right index finger aggressively towards Kurosaki, yelling at him. ''WHY YOU TOLD HER THAT!''
''SHE MEANS MOMOMIYA, IDIOT!'' He yells at his assumption. Naruto soon blinks awkwardly, pausing and it makes sense now, uttering like a clueless idiot. ''Oh yea…''
Ryan sweat drops, wondering how someone who's quick and thinks fast in battle could have a peanut mindset.
Grimmjow approaches Nelliel as he proclaims with a smug smirk. ''To think that Nnoitra gloated how he killed you and it was all a lie.'' He scoffs, disgusted at the idea that someone so full of himself could best a higher skilled warrior. ''Bastard truly was weak.''
She eyes him with a firm, calm look before she replies. ''I see you also haven't changed either, Grimmjow.'' He slowly smiles though, seeing that he's not the same wild beast seeking to devour anyone; he has a goal now. ''But I'll say you've grown a bit.''
Grimmjow looks away, scoffing. Nelliel still smiles before she asks him sternly. ''So will you too oppose Aizen-san?''
''…'' Grimmjow looks at her calmly with a fierce look, confirming he will but for his own pursuit of power. He then asks her. ''So you will too?''
Nelliel looks at him and slowly smiles, expressing kindly as she eyes Ichigo, Naruto and everyone else. ''Pesche and Dondochakka are my family and you are my friends.'' She holds her sheathed sword to them, vowing determinedly. ''I will fight with those who are true warriors and true companions.''
''… Can I hug you?'' Naruto asks for affection which leaves the others uneasy. Groaning as he doesn't want to hear it, Kurosaki turns to Orihime as he begins to tell her with a small smile. ''Inoue, let's go back-''
Suddenly Ichigo, Grimmjow and Nelliel all soon widen their eyes as appearing like a blur, undetected, is Starrk now holding the shoulder of a shocked Orihime. The others soon panicked heavily with Naruto the most freaked out as he wished he was still in Sage Mode to sense him coming.
''Starrk!'' Grimmjow growls madly but also terrified. The Primera Espada looks at him, sighing as he says. ''Grimmjow, Aizen-sama will have a word with you later. Hopefully you won't be punished completely.''
He then turns towards the green haired woman and expresses with a sense of joy. ''Welcome back, Nelliel.'' He then faces Ichigo as he proclaims. ''Also, my apologies.'' He immediately vanishes along with Orihime before his eyes.
''INOUE!'' Ichigo shouts, turning fast and can feel her Spiritual Energy and where she's heading.
''Ichigo wait!'' Alicia begins to warn him to not go alone but he doesn't listen, immediately dashing and performing Shunpo to fly with insane speed to that direction. She startles as she groans, muttering loudly. ''That moron! Naruto we need to-''
''I need a moment to use Sage Mode again!'' Alicia makes a face, turning to look at Naruto who's not in Sage Mode thus not stronger right now.
''Well summon a clone and-'' Alicia begins advising him only to look back and blinks as Naruto is now sitting in a meditation pose with 2 Shadow Clones beside him, also meditating. She groans as Ryan sweat drops, suggesting. ''Never mind.''
Nelliel eyes Grimmjow that he's not going after him. She frowns, knowing they'll have to wait since Starrk is taking Ichigo's friend to Aizen and if they pursue right now¸ they'll be dead.
Alicia frowns, worried in letting her friend dash to who knows what danger he's about to fight in, muttering out with concern. ''Ichigo, careful.''
At this time, Yugi forms a frown as he detects Starrk's aura, taking someone else familiar to Aizen's and Kurosaki is in hot pursuit. He knows it's not Ichigo but he can't detect who it is in this place. He doesn't like this; assuming Aizen took someone else. But who? Plus, he's somewhat feeling the others but they're scattered all over the place and unable to fully feel what's happening like a TV channel in static. It's frustrating.
Jonouchi and the others can tell Yugi has this strange look of worry before he asks him. ''Yugi, you've been really tensed.''
Jenny agrees, not wanting to alarm him yet but she's begun to feel an aura but it's messy and she can't sense it so well here.
''Yea… I'm glad you guys can't read auras like I can.'' Yugi responds, trying to smile as he feels two messy auras coming at them and frowns. ''But sadly it's a lifesaver for what comes next.''
Jenny raises an eyebrow until her dog senses can smell out something really evil like-
''Hehehe, look who finally showed up.'' A familiar voice speaks up, alarming mainly Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda who are more freaked out. Yugi sighs, turning forward calmly as appearing out of thin air is both Maximilian and Yami Marik who is sticking out his long, disturbing tongue.
"I was wondering when you two would get in our way.'' The tricolor head proclaims, figuring this moment would happen with a calm posture.
Yugi is now confronted by the two that took his Ichigo and now it's time to settle things. Will his training pay off against them?
To be continued…
(ENDING 1: Motherland by Crystal Kay by Fullmetal Alchemist)
Next Time…
Appearing before him again, the revived Arrancar Maximilian and Yami Marik stop Yugi and his group from advancing. Wanting a bit of payback and stopping them from getting in their way; Yugi prepares to fight them but Jonouchi joins in; having a score to settle with the monster that tormented so many people, especially Mai. Hesitating, Yugi trusts in his best friend as the two fight their foes. Will they succeed?
Alicia looks at Nelliel with a stunning expression, not even sure where to begin: UM… So were you always a child?
Nelliel: N-No. Not actually. It's a long story, Alicia-san. *eyes her clothes and blushes of embarrassment, realizing the faces Ichigo and Naruto had* I may need a change of clothes.
Ryan blushes redder: Y-YES MA'AM!
Alicia gives him a look at Grimmjow: Not going after him.
Grimmjow: Let him soften Ulquiorra. Kurosaki won't die by him… though…
Alicia giggles, able to tell he worries for his rival: Ah I see, well let's go after him! Or at least you two should. We'll catch up as fast as-
Nelliel shakes her head: We'll all go together. Just give me a moment to adjust my Spiritual Energy so my form doesn't break apart again.
Alicia agrees: Sure. So then-
Ryan: MEANWHILE… Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: Rematch against Fear and Domination! Fight for your friends, Jonouchi vs Yami Marik!
Alicia sighs: Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time… SIGH, Ichigo better come back to resume this role.
Author's Note: Is it just me or is it always weird that in the Final Arc of Bleach (not Animated to that part as of this date), that it would make more sense if Grimmjow and Nelliel should have known each other. Like not like Nnoitra who hates weaklings and women; Grimmjow seeks out the strong not caring if they're a man, woman or child… or creature? Yea, King of the Jungle. Anyway, hmm… interesting pair.
Yes, I saw the scene of Naruto beating that Android Delta in Boruto… WTF! ANDROIDS?! Look, Boruto, STOP COPYING DRAGON BALL! Like you have space aliens, now we have Karma Marks and ANDROIDS?! I really hate Boruto. I did like that fight a bit on the strategy sense against ANOTHER NINJUTSU ABSORPTION NONSENSE and the Supermassive Rasengan. So I borrow that attack here. WHY NOT?! And Grimmjow got the last laugh. Ironic fate. RIP Nnoitra… You had it coming.
Next time is the rematch of rematches. Will Yugi with his new training be enough against Dragon Killer Arrancar Maximilian while Jonouchi has his long awaited rematch against the Arrancar revived Yami Marik? One way to find out!
