Keigo and the rest of his friends were in complete shock as a purple light suddenly engulfed the entire area and readjusted his eyes after the moment passed. He realized that Ichigo, Riruka, and Orhimie, were gone.
'Wha-where the hell did they all go?' Asano stuttered, and when he saw Arruruerie standing in front of them, he realized that Aaroniero was also gone.
'Oh, my partner and I just transported them to different parts of the city with our Separación No Vinculante! 'The power to teleport ourselves and others within twenty miles. All so to make it easier to defeat and devour all of your!' Arruruerie declared with a bloodthirsty howl and grin.
Keigo, Tatsuki, and Mizuiro as they readied themselves.
'Okay, Asano, you are the one who took down an Espada, and this bitch is only two ranks above that one, and she also doesn't have her partner. So...you think we have a chance?' Tatsuki questioned, and Asano then swallowed and breathed.
'Maybe, but we can't afford any mistakes in trying to take her out. Because while she is only two ranks above Old Fish Legs...her spiritual power is nearly doubled the amount of his, and there is no telling what other abilities she may have under her disposal on top of dealing with her hollow army.'
Keigo then furrowed his brows in concentration as he stared down at the Espada 'If we are going to make it out of here alive, we will have to take her out in one shot and nothing less.'
Tatsuki then nodded in agreement, and Mizurio hummed in approval.
'He is right….' the short, dark-haired man mused as he looked upon and analyzed Espada's power. 'Lower tier or not, they are still an Espada, regardless of how skilled and powerful I, Tatsuki, and Keigo are. None of us are on the level of a director like Orihime or Riruka, let alone Someone like Uryu and Ichigo.'
Mizuno took some black coins from his pocket and charged them with his fullbring. 'I can only hope our strategy will work, or someone can come in to bail us out soon.'
The short-haired man then lunged at Aaroneiro. 'And I hope that you are okay as well…Ichigo.'
Meanwhile, Kurosaki
Ichigo stared at the Espada, recognizing him as Nnorita, the 5th Espada from his world and one that nearly killed him when he was worn down after fighting Grimmjow. He could tell that, just like the Ulquiorra of this reality. This version of him is much stronger than the Nnoritia he fought.
'Huh, What's wrong? Aren't you going to say something, brat, or are you just going to keep staring at me?' the Esapda mocked his enemy, but Ichigo scoffed at him.
'All I am doing is just waiting for you to make the first move,' he said with a gruff voice. 'Or unless you want me to strike you first?'
Noritia's then scoffed dismissively, 'As if you have any rights to act honorable…' the Espada disappeared in a blur of sondio.
'After what you have done to Neil'
Ichigo's heart then tightened as he felt the brush of pushed air that came from the blade of Espada's giant crescent zanpakuto. Which was just a few centimeters away from decapitating his head had he not ducked his head down at the last second.
Ichigo then used the Hirenkyaku to get himself on top of a nearby building while Nnoritra hung his gigantic crescent-bladed zanpakuto over his shoulders. With his ever-present grin plastered on his face.
'Figures that now that he is now one of the top 4 Espada and thus meaning this Noritia would get much more powerful if he uses his Segunda Etapa of his' Ichigo thought as he weighed his options.
'I could try to defeat him before he could use his second release. By Unleashing just a single instance of my full shinigami powers and taking him down in one hit…but given how powerful this guy is. There is no telling if I can pull off something like that or not' Ichigo then let a deep, resigned breath before readying his reshi swords. 'There is nothing for it...I will have to wing it.'
Nnoitra then huffed. 'Well, are you done sulking up there or going to fight me already!?' The fourth Espada shouted, and Kurosaki knowing that he had no time to ponder, blitzed himself to his enemy and locked blades with him, and before long, the shinigami Quincy and the brutal Espada began trading blows in a deadly dance of blades
Their strikes unleashed shockwaves so devastating that the very city blocks they were fighting in had their roads, sidewalks, and buildings ripped apart from their very foundations, and Ichigo knew that if he did not find a way to end this battle soon. The rest of Tokyo would be leveled to the ground not long after.
Later with Orihime and Riruka
'Well, this is quite a pleasant surprise,' Aaroniero commented as he strolled towards the two girls as they readied themselves.
'At first, I thought I only had a few field agents to deal with. But for two directors of Xcuation to come here…' the man laughed. 'It's like being given an early Christmas present.'
Riruka sprouted a nerve in a fury upon hearing the comment. 'Hey, don't try to the right us off as your next meal, you walking freak show! We were given the title of director for a reason, and if anything, you are the one that is considered small fry to us!' She boasted, but Aaroniero merely chucked in amusement.
'Oh yes, pleased, keep mocking me for thinking that I am a low ranking Espada, I dare you! It makes it more worthwhile to realize what happens to those who underestimate my power!' He roared, and then immediately, his left arm transformed into a brown deformed appendage with a huge gaping mouth in its center while hosted by several moving tentacles.
Which is disturbingly enough the form of his zanpakuto.
'Devour Glotoneria!'
Broderie's command and body transform into a purple mass of red eyes, mouths, and boiling skin. With His arms and legs seemingly made out entirely of octopus-like limbs. On top, he lacked anything resembling hands or feet. At the same time, the remains of his hollow mask have been merged into the entire right side of his face in a twisted, deformed fusion of flesh and bone.
Then immediately after, he releases his Ressurection. The 8th Espada then pulled a red spear that appeared to be made from his muscle fibers out from behind his spine and upon grabbing hold of the weapon. He then attacked the two women with the intent to impale them.
However, right before he could strike them down, Orihime and Riruka used bringer light to evade the blow, and when the spear stuck down on the ground. The earth around it suddenly vibrated before vaporizing into dust—much to both of the fullbringer's shock.
Aaroniero took delight in seeing their expressions before twirling his spear, launching several bolts of orange energy, and making the two women dodge. But when both noticed the energy balls landing into nearby buildings, they saw them explode on impact and completely level them to the ground with enough force.
'As you can see, my two little morsels. My ability glotoneria allows me to use the powers of any hollow that I devoured. Such as one with the power to vibrate objects until they are reduced to atoms or summon energy bolts that detonate on contact and many, many more!' Aaroniero boasted, and then, to Riruka's and Orihime's apprehension, more of the mutant hollows appeared to surround them.
'With my abilities and my devoured, you two little girls are ultimately outmatched by the vast number of abilities at my disposal despite all your status and power!' the man then bare a horrific grin, 'And soon both you and your powers will be added on to our collection!'
Aaroniero then used Sonido to flash in front of his two foes. His spear at ready to cut them...
But to his shock, the shaft of his weapon was caught barehanded by Rirukia with ease and then gave the Espada a disinterested look.
'Don't get overconfident small fry,' she insulted coldly and then before the Espada could react. An R initial suddenly glowed from under Riruka's fur. At the same time, another R letter appeared on the base of Arrurerie's spear. Which then suddenly disappeared in a flash of pink light.
'What! The Aaroniero shouted in bafflement and then, in frustration, gestured his infected hollows to attack Riruke.
Unfortunately, for them. The redhead, despite being outnumbered, rapidly shot at all the hollows with her hidden gauntlet by the dozen before they all disappeared in a flash of pink light.
But that only made the Espada even more frustrated.
'Urgh! Just finish her off already!' he angrily ordered, and soon, hundreds if not thousands of the devoured swarm Riruka in a literal tidal wave of bodies. He hoped that I would finally be overwhelmed and snuffed out that dispersible spoiled girl.
But Riruka did not look phased as she twirled her body around, and a heart-like circle suddenly appeared on the ground below her feet and spread out below the tidal wave of hollows.
'Party Invite,' she shouted out, and in an instant later, the entire army of hollows that numbered in over the thousands disappeared in a flash of pink light. Much to the Arrurerie's disbelief.
'How are you able to do this, you brat!?' the 8th Espada cried out in frustration. While Riruka just pulled her right eye-led down mockingly.
'Let us just say that when dealing with the directors of the Xcution, we are a little more troublesome to handle than our field agents,' the Red-head quip, which only made Aaroniero frown in annoyance for not picking easier victims.
Later on with Chang Du and Wonderwiess.
High among the skyscrapers of Minato Tokyo district. The battle between the Sternritter of Iron Cang Du and the sixth Espada Wonderwiess a range on. As Quincy and Arrancar clash against each other in a deadly fast past duel of blades.
Yet Margela had to admit that he was being pressed. For the very moment, the sternritter activated his Shcrift of the iron. He suddenly became invulnerable to everything the Espada threw at him. The blade of his zanpaktou bounces harmlessly off his skin, along with being utterly unfazed by the punches and kicks he landed on him. All the while, Quincy still attacks him relentlessly.
Then, the Sternritter suddenly rushes down at him from the sky, and., in a moment of reflex, Wonderwiess then launched a cero at point-blank range. I hope that a concentrated blast of spiritual energy would get at least him off balance.
But Chang keeps charging right through the doom blast itself to his shock. The strength of his iron skin was so potent that it allowed him to easily brush off even the kinetic force of even a cero, and in a moment later. The shade-wearing man was upon the blonde Espada with his bladed gauntlet raised and then struck down.
CLING!!!
Only for Wonderwiess to raise his claymore just in time to prevent his skull from being split open in two. Though Du still left his mark as blood dripped down from the top of Espada's head.
'Well, now you are pretty powerful, aren't you?' Margiela laughed in praise and then used his zanpaktou to push Chang Du back.
'Honestly, if I keep toying with you like this, you might even get a lucky break in killing me' Espada's childlike face then darkened. 'Which is sadly why I will end this here and now!'
Wonderwiess then placed the flat side of claymore in front of his face.
'Close Off... Extinguir!' He spoke, and soon the Arrancar's entire body was engulfed in a massive blast of purple spiritual pressure that made all the air within the area dense and heavy while also unleashing a powerful shockwave that sent everything not nailed not to the ground flying. Then when the explosion subsided and the dust cleared. On the 6th, Espada unveiled his Resurrected form.
The Arrancar now wore gray-suited leather armor. He wore silver metal pads on his shoulders and knees and a sleeveless vest that showed off his lean yet muscular arms. He wore a white metal horn helmet with hollow eyeholes covering his face, save for a tuff of his blond hair hanging down from behind his neck.
Seeing that his enemy was now getting serious, Chang Du then unleashed his full power to match the strength of the released Espada. He raised his arm, holding his sakeria glove, and released a pillar of spiritual energy that drew in all the nearby Reshi around him. As it dispersed, the Sternritter revealed his Vollständig form, which consisted of four large floating wings of reshi in the form of iron slabs floating behind his back and two more enormous metal claws covering his arms.
Then without even sparing a single word, the two mortal enemies clashed once more.
Meanwhile, Robert and Zommeri
The elder Quincy then sighed in frustration as the fight with the 9th Espada proved far more hindering than he ever expected as he hid behind the wall of a nearby office building while clutching his wounded, bleeding shoulder.
As he found out from his own experience. Zommeri, upon going into his ressection. Gain the ability to subjugate and control anything that his fifty-eight eyes on his body laid their sights on. Which, unfortunately for Robert, included his right limb. But thankfully, he was able to serve the Indians to prevent his hand from choking him while he could still use Ransōtengai to move and fight with his damaged arm. It provided no good if the 9th Espada managed to tag his head.
'Well, Robert Accutrone, do you still dare to underestimate me!?' The Zommeri spoke out loudly as he hovered around the buildings despite his lack of legs. 'Even as you quiver before my Armor of love?'
Robert then Grumbled. 'More of embarrassment in allowing myself to be caught off guard, he readied his reshi gun. 'But other than that, I am quite dandy, well thank you very much.'
The elder Quincy then used his gun to shoot through one of the walls and rooms of the skyscrapers and, to Zommeri's mild Surprise, right at him as well. But unfortunately, for Accutrone, the 9th Espada could still use Sonido to evade the shot with ease, even in his legless form.
'Ah, I see...' Zommeri mused. 'You plan on using these buildings to protect yourself from my Armor while using your navigation ability to track down my excite location and gun me down by shooting through them' the Espada then smiled. 'Cleaver...'
Then his face turned into a harsh frown as he then outstretched his arms. 'Sadly, however...even that cleverness will not save you.'
Then to Robert's shock, he saw through one of the holes of the shot buildings that Zommeri began charging ceros from all fifty-eight eyes on his body at once.
'Cero disparo rotundo' (cero satter shot), the Espada spoke lowly, and soon all the fifty-eight eyes fired the doom blasts all at once. He demolished the nearby structures into rubble and unleashed a massive dust cloud. But he was also destroying whatever protection the sternritter had against his armor ability.
Then as the dust settled, Zommeri saw the Quincy still standing, though protected by a cross guard shield from the power of his ceros. Which then made the Espada smirk.
'You, done well to defend yourself, Quincy captain. But even you must realize how pointless it is to defend against me. My superior speed and power will eventually overwhelm you' Zommeri boasted. But to his surprise, Robert merely chuckled at him.
'Really? Do you think you can overwhelm me? And I thought you respected my abilities' Accutrone mocked and then shot right through his shield to catch the Espada off guard.
But the latter merely sneered in irritation.
'I told you it is the point-' Zommeri was about to chastise his foe until he realized there were several Ginto in the air surrounding him.
'Großartig Gritz,' Robert uttered, and immediately, the capsules erupted into several layered shields that surrounded and covered the Arrancar, trapping him inside.
Zommeri then howled in frustration. 'Do not dare force me to repeat myself; your little tricks will not work on me!' the Espada then tried to launch another cero disparo rotundo, only for Robert to knock on his shield.
'Do not even bother. The Grobartig Gritz was designed to contain the full power of an Espada's Ressccion, even if you fired a great ray cero from out of each of those eyes of yours. It will only result in you getting roasted alive.'
Robert then pointed his gun at the entombed Espada. 'It is over.'
Zommeri was about to make another spiteful retort until he felt another's spiritual presence waning and then grinned. While Robert, upon recognizing it, felt his heart sink.
'Well...I know that it is over for at least one of you quinces the ninth Espada spoke ominously.
Things will be heated up for the fullbringers, the Sternritter, and Ichigo himself. It will only get more intense from here on out and given that I am displaying a lot of powers and abilities and powers. I might make a list of those that appeared in the story.
Twin Reshi blades: These twin swords of reshi are a Quincy technique that Ichigo developed to maintain his cover in the alternate world. While much less power than his twin Shiki zanpakotu. Ichigo can nonetheless channel his shinigami powers within. To the point of making them powerful to hold off and even defeat the 5th Espada grimijow in his Segunda epta form in a single strike.
Rules of Nature: The fullbringer of Keigo Aasno. With the power to break the laws of physics of anything, it comes in contact with the fabric of the space-time continuum.
The fullbring itself was inspired by nature's metal gear revolution soundtrack rules. The original would be named after the song itself before I decided to try something more original.
Flams of Glory: Tatsuki's Fullbringer. Which allows the user to manipulate fire and heat through their hands and feet. Its power and strength are significantly tied to Tatsuki's rage and pride.
It is more refined than her superhero Kakura town uniform and more powerful.
Lock and Loaded: Mizukei's fullbringer. Which can turn any object within the user's hands into a deadly weapon and the ability to see and lock on any weak points on the target, such as their vital organs.
Its main power is similar to the mask of accuracy from Bionicle.
Separación No Vinculante: An power from a hollow with the ability to teleport themselves and others to different locations within a limited area.
Anyway, see you next time!
