Chapter 12

Ten minutes after Liltotto came to the Urahara shop, Zensuke, Yoruichi and Kisuke listened to what the young girl had to say.

Regarding her orders from their Majesty to take down Rukia or Zensuke, how none of the Bambi's wish to do such a thing, yet when he heard about Bambietta, and what Liltotto thought she might do, Zensuke was left with a sense of wonder of what was truly going on, more so than ever before.

"So, you believe she is going to follow through with your Majesty's orders in either killing me or Rukia-chan. Why does he want this? I haven't ever done anything to the Quincy, and neither has Rukia-chan."

Liltotto shrugged. "I wish I knew, but I can't say what's going through his mind. When we arrived after he sent us here, I was so confused because…well, you're here, and so is your father, Kisuke Urahara."

Zensuke and Kisuke look to one another in perplexity.

"And we're important because, we're Shinigami? Or is there something we're missing?" Kisuke wonders, wishing he had all the information.

Liltotto nods. "According to our database, you two are a no contact order. Bambi wasn't aware when you first met…" Liltotto sighs. "If only she read more then this could've been avoided, but she, Candy and Meni didn't read the Daten, at least Gigi does."

Zensuke was in the midst of processing this information, while Kisuke strums his fingers along his chin.

"So this Majesty of yours, what are his goals?" Kisuke decided to ask, so many questions racing around his mind.

"Couldn't say." Liltotto replies. "Not because I don't want to tell you, its because I genuinely don't know. We only met him not long ago, he said we had potential to be strong, and gifted us with our powers. We were supposed to do duties for him, and if we did, then we'd receive promotions to join the elite, that's what Bambi believes anyway. But the mission to take you, or Rukia Kuchiki down…it didn't sit right with us, even Bambi looked as if she didn't want to do it."

Zensuke folds his arms. "But you're thinking she'll try something?"

"I believe she might, for the good of our future. You don't understand what it means as a Quincy to stand beside his Majesty, he's a very important person to our people, and if we were his elites, then there's no telling how far we'd go, but disobeying him, could lead to huge consequences. There's no reasoning with him..."

Zensuke hums, and begins thinking on what to do next.

Kisuke puts his hands behind his head. "So, lets focus on what we can do, and stop your friend first."

Liltotto nods a single time. "Its what I think is best."

Kisuke snaps his fingers. "Then leave it to me, my sons got a prior engagement that he can't miss the opportunity for, and if time is of the essence, then I'll be able to deal with Bambietta-san, even if she does decide to fight."

Liltotto couldn't argue, since she knew like his son, Kisuke was also quite smart, and strong.

Yoruichi furrows her eyebrows, and looks to Zensuke. "Zensuke, the time..."

"Yeah, I've gotta go in a few minutes, the time is nigh, as they say."

Kisuke stretches his legs, and cracks his neck to the side.

"Then, I'll be going to meet up with this Bambietta-san and stop her, seems she hasn't gone for Kuchiki-san yet so we're fine." Zensuke glances at his father. "I'll make sure she doesn't kill anyone else. Be rest assured, I'll deal with her, and when you come back, you can work your charm on her~"

Liltotto looked at Kisuke, and saw his whimsy in all its glory, raising an eyebrow.

"He seems a little too lax, can he be trusted with this task?"

Yoruichi and Zensuke stifle a laugh, while Kisuke face faults, jabbing a finger at himself.

"I'm a serious guy you know? I happen to be a former Captain-"

"Squad 12, I know. Formerly Third seat of Squad 2." Liltotto informed.

Zensuke and Kisuke were impressed her Quincy King had gathered so much data on them, and also a little concerned that they were able to get so much, wondering what else they knew.

Yoruichi clears her throat, looking at Liltotto. "Don't worry, he might seem goofy, but he's a smart man."

Liltotto sighed. "Alright then, if this is the best way. Then I suggest we begin making a move, I'm sure she's going to think because I'm not around, she might have the best opportunity to go."

Kisuke throws up his hand, grabbing his sword cane at the same time.

"Very well, I guess this is it then~" Kisuke looks to his son, and adopts a kind smile. "Leave it with me, go and get that King. I know you've got this."

Zensuke nods in thanks. "On the safe side maybe inform the Visored. We don't know if this Quincy King might show up, what the heck he can actually do, so its best to have safety in numbers, and their Hollow powers would be bad news for the Quincy's. I've already informed Nel-san and Orihime-chan the basics of what's going on, so they're prepared should something happen." Zensuke looks apologetically to Liltotto. "Sorry, I know she's your friend, and I don't want to have to hurt her."

"But, its for precautionary reasons which I understand." Liltotto expresses. "His Majesty, is a man who can be unpredictable, I truly don't know what's going to happen once he finds out this has been stopped. But after spending time here…I can't find myself agreeing with His Majesty, I just can't do it…"

Zensuke saw the young girl looking as if she was going through the motions, pulls in closer, and gently pats her head, showing her a kindness that Liltotto couldn't help but adore.

"Don't worry, we'll get this sorted out as quick as possible, and help Bambietta-san, you all, okay?"

Liltotto takes a sharp inhale. "Thank you, I know what I said just then…it couldn't have been easy to hear, considering the things you've done for Quincy, now the King wants you taken out. I still don't understand what His Majesty's goals are in doing this, if this is a loyalty thing, or if he simply wished to test you or something, I wish I knew."

Zensuke could clearly see and hear the turmoil she had, wishing to do his best for the young girl, and the other Quincy, knowing that they inherently weren't bad people, and so he hoped they'd be able to sort it out soon.

"I couldn't say either, but whatever it is that's going on, we can sort it out, together. I'll just go and deal with a walking skeleton. I wish it didn't coincide, but I've managed to set up a situation where I can take him down without worry of other enemies."

"Helping people, its what you do." Liltotto exhaled. "I remember you coming, when that madman came, and going around to check on all the Quincy after stopping him, and offered healing, supplies, and gave us a peaceful place to live…I remember that kindness, and I know the others remember too."

Zensuke couldn't help but adopt a small smile, hearing that he had made a good difference in their lives is all he ever wanted, he didn't care for rewards, he didn't care for recognition, he cared for people, and how to make their lives better.

"I'm glad I was able to help. This King of yours…I don't know what he's about, what he desires, but if you girls wanna get away from that, then I'll do my best to protect you, you have my word."

Liltotto felt a pulse from her heart.

Back then, he saved them from a madman.

And now, he was willing to put his life on the line for them.

Liltotto inches closer, and takes his hand within her smaller one.

Zensuke blinks, as Liltotto exhales, showing a resolve in her eyes.

"Thank you. We'll do whatever it takes to make sure we can not only survive, but thrive."

"Then lets do it together." Zensuke finalized.

Liltotto felt his hand squeeze her own in a kind manner.

She felt the warmth he radiated, and she felt comforted by it.

Whatever was going to happen next, she felt like she could rely on Zensuke for help, and in turn she'd provide any assistance that she could, and hopefully stop Bambietta before she did something she'd regret.

In the dead of the night sky of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan's meaty fingers rapped on the makeshift throne he had commissioned for himself, outside of Las Noches, within the Menos Forest.

Having sometime alone, albeit with some Hollows around acting as bodyguards, and his court, Baraggan kept looking at the arm Aizen lazily reattached, seeing the scarring, and even on his jaw that Zensuke had kicked off during their first meeting, his sloppy reattachment, feeling the anguish he endured thanks to that Shinigami he reviled.

"To think that man was able to do such things to me…!" Baraggan let out an almighty roar.

His feet stamped on the ground, dust and sand blowing up all around him.

His Hollows all begin to grimace, Baraggan's anger was growing by the second, and his face was becoming a picture of distorted anger, he couldn't hide the anger he was feeling, the rage that was being induced into his being.

"That damn Arrancar…getting the better of me...I have to kill Aizen, but this Arrancar is tricky. If I could get my hands on his power, then adding it to my army, even through a sacrifice, then I'd be able to destroy that Shinigami, and reclaim what's rightfully mine…"

He breathed in slowly, when he felt something very strange.

One by one, even two by two, and three by three, some Hollows he had with him, began vanishing out of existence, his eyes looking around, and saw two of his Hollows being cleaved right in half, shocking him.

"We're under attack!" Baraggan snapped, grabbing his axe. "Contact my Fraccion and have them-"

Before Baraggan could get out his command, he heard his Hollows being killed off.

A blur phased into his line of sight, managing to cleave, and cut down all of the enemies all around him.

It was astonishing, even Baraggan felt hesitation beginning to enter his soul, watching as his Hollows were all reduced to nothingness.

Then he was left on his own.

He breathed a shallow breath, his eyes and senses searching for the mystery attacker.

"Show yourself, and I might be lenient with you." Growled an angry Baraggan, tightening his hand on his axe.

"Lenient with me huh?" Baraggan heard coming from behind him. "Now, aren't you quite the funny King?"

Baraggan's frustrations grew, as did the power he was outputting.

His spiritual power begins ebbing all around him like the sea, the very sands all around him shifting underneath the pressure.

"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Baraggan immediately turned, wielding his large black axe, and swings it out.

"Whoa there, you're gonna hurt someone with that, maybe even yourself." A voice called out, stirring Baraggan's soul.

When seeing a hood, Baraggan believed it was his enemy and the voice had only reinforced those beliefs, so he went with full force, fully intending to take out the target, his axe flying through the air at rapid speed.

"If you think you can get away from me this time Arrancar, then you've got another thing coming!" Baraggan was arrogant, and adamant at the same time.

However, the instant the axe came towards the hooded figure, he simply dodged at point blank range, and then swung out his sword, slicing across Baraggan's face, the Arrancar letting out a loud howl, and came at Zensuke with a myraid of slashes, but the young man evades, and parries all of the attacks.

"You little bastard, show yourself! Show me who you are, and I'll take great pleasure in feeding you to my army!"

"I always seem to have to deal with those low on sanity~" Zensuke offered his voice in a rather whimsical tone, thinking of certain people he's had dealt with in his life.

Clutching his axe tightly between his fingers, Baraggan watched the hooded figure as if scrutinizing his appearance, wishing he was able to see the young man so he could assess who it was he truly was fighting.

"I am your King, you will obey and lay your life down for me!"

"Your heinous highness, let me lift the burdens off your shoulders, and purify your very soul as I cut you down." As Zensuke said it, he begins pulling down his hood, revealing his face for the first time.

Baraggan, upon seeing the sky blue eyes, and the golden blonde hair, became confused.

He looked for the remnants of a Hollow mask, but saw nothing at all.

"You…you're not an Arrancar. You're a Shinigami!" Baraggan yelled, confusion and frustrations building as he began sensing the levels of power Zensuke was releasing, it was like a volcano all around his form. "What are you dong here Shinigami!? Why do you feel like an Arrancar!?"

"You know the one Shinigami you were looking for? The one that beat Tosen? That's me~" Zensuke admits, flashing a peace sign, enraging the Arrancar even more.

"You're him…the one Aizen was worried about…it was you, the Arrancar, all along…" Baraggan felt his soul take another hit, his body beginning to shake under the intense pressure Zensuke's spiritual powers released.

His breath felt as if it was clogging up his throat, his eyes feeling heavier as Zensuke draws his Zanpakuto, twirling it in his hand, and aiming it towards the King.

"It was me, all along." Zensuke swirls his sword in front of him, as darkness begins to flow off the blade in small particles. "Annihilate, Kurohime."

As soon as he said it, Baraggan felt an ominous feeling erupt inside of his heart.

The area grew pitch black, even darker than Hueco Mundo already was, as shadows and darkness all began to form on Zensuke's silver blade.

The darkness encroaches up the sword, and up Zensuke's hand. As if blending together with the sword, the shadows begin swirling around the blade.

When the swirling darkness crumbled away off his blade, revealed in the place of his silver blade, a beautiful everlasting midnight black steel, in the shape of a katana, midnight black tassels hanging off of the butt of the sword, swishing around in the wind.

Breathing hard, Baraggan's clutch on his axe waned for a moment, allowing Zensuke to raise his arm to the sky, his sword pointing to the very moon resting up above, and channels his swords power, black energy like darkness swirling around the blade like a vortex.

Baraggan couldn't trust it, he felt the power coming off it was something he'd only recall having seen one other time, and it was a feeling he'd never want to experience, his anger being replaced by growing concern, and worry.

"Scream, Kurohime!" Accompanied by a high pitched deadly sound, Zensuke releases a crescent moon shaped wave of darkness for Baraggan.

Baraggan's time dilation field managed to kick in, and it slowed down the speeding crescent moon of darkness.

But it only let Baraggan narrowly avoid the attack, getting a severe slice across his arm, bleeding heavily thanks to the effect of Zensuke's swords darkness absorbing the flesh and bone of the Arrancar, bursting the wound open even more.

"Arrrggggggghhhhhhh!" Baraggan let out an unholy scream, as blood rained down onto the floor.

His hand that held his axe felt like it was shaking, and he looked at Zensuke with eyes filled with the desire to kill.

"You shall die for laying your sword on me!" He rushed Zensuke, and tried to take him out immediately, his axe swinging with the force of a truck, dust and sand spiraling all around as he came down with his blade.

Zensuke in turn blocks with his own, generating a shockwave all around the area, sands being burst up, smothering the trees which were also being broken down by the clashing of blades.

That's when Zensuke saw Baraggan trying to reach for him, believing he knew what he was doing, to touch Zensuke, and to age his body to break.

So Zensuke pushes him back with a heavy swing, and dodges being grabbed by the enemy, as Zensuke launches closer.

"My field shall slow your time!" Baraggan snaps, and attempts to dodge out of the way.

However, the moment Baraggan thought his time field would help him, Zensuke's movements didn't seem to slow down.

In fact, he got even faster, using Shunko to boost his speed, and his foot embedded into the face of the enemy, his nose breaking underneath the heavy foot strike, blood erupting from his nose, as his neck was forced to bend backwards, the pressure of the kick causing the enemy to go flying backwards.

As he broke through trees, and stone, Zensuke flash stepped above him, his sword raised into the air, and his blade gathered darkness all around it, Baraggan feeling his body trembling at the sight of the darkness, an affect Zensuke's Zanpakuto naturally gave others.

"Razor, Kurohime!" Zensuke's blade produced sharp black energy dagger sized crescent moon shaped razorblades, and with a swing, Zensuke fired them off like bullets, raining down towards the Arrancar.

Baraggan, still being flung across the forest, watched as the razors came firing down towards the man.

Holding out his axe, miasma begins to flow off of his body, surrounding his very being, the sands below, and the rocks and trees surrounding him, began begin reduced to nothingness, his power was ageing them out of existence.

"ROT! ARROGANTE!" Baraggan screamed out his release command, and his body began changing.

All of the flesh he had, seemed to melt off of his body, and reduce his form to a skeleton, a regal looking one. His axe had changed into more of a sleek design, black and he had a purple looking cloak attached to his body.

Zensuke saw the arm he cut, the bone underneath was cracked, looking so brittle that if he touched it, it would break immediately.

The razor sharp blades of darkness were engulfed by the miasma of decay, as Zensuke flash stepped to the ground, watching his razor technique being consumed by the miasma, or so Baraggan thought.

One managed to get through, and dug into his skinless face, dragging through the bone, chipping off the bone as it flew down into the ground, Baraggan howling in anger, and came down onto the ground heavily, putting a hand to the section of cheek bone that had been carved out.

"You think you're going to get one up on me Shinigami boy?"

"I came here for the purpose of taking you out, so I wont be walking away from this fight until you're…well, I was going to say reduced to bone, but you already are that, so lets go with reduced to dust."

Baraggan felt his anger flowing through him, as he releases a wave of miasma at Zensuke.

"Think you can escape this power?! Your Zanpakuto might have some strange darkness power, but my power will rot all, even Kido rots underneath it, and your sword is going to rot underneath my power as well! So prepare to perish boy!"

Rotting all in its path, Zensuke stayed stationary, as he held out his sword, twirling the blade, calling out "Cocoon, Kurohime." and following the command, a cocoon of darkness surrounds the young Captain.

Baraggan was feeling happy to see Zensuke remaining in one place, believing his power was going to be able to destroy what the cocoon possessed, and also to be able to obliterate the power of the young man, along with his body in one fell swoop.

"This is the moment you die! My power is able to rot everything, you shall know that everything in this world ages, and your power isn't the exception!"

As he said it, the miasma washes over the darkness.

The darkness does indeed begin to break down, an arrogant smirk on the skeletons face.

But that was replaced worry as he saw the darkness cocoon simply causing the miasma to vanish as well, a mutual destruction that in Baraggan's mind, shouldn't have been possible.

"You really love making grandiose claims, don't you?" Zensuke mused, as the darkness cocoon all vanished, as did the miasma, leaving him completely safe and sound from the effects of the attack bestowed onto him.

"What?! Your sword! How did you do that?!" Baraggan roared.

Zensuke twirled his blade, showcasing it to the skeleton Arrancar.

"Your power to rot everything can truly be a worrisome ability. My girl here isn't immune to time either, she can rot as everything can, but when played with right, she's able to unleash her might. She's very protective over me, you see, and she's always wishing to absorb all the pain, anguish that I could feel, and disperse it away."

Baraggan couldn't say if it was a bluff.

If he was trying to make Baraggan insecure.

He didn't know.

"You little bastard. Coming to my home, and saying such things to me! How dare you!?"

"No, Baraggan. How dare you? You came into the homes of Nel-san and her brothers, and you tried to devour them, you came into the lives of people I care for, and brought them into dangerous compromising positions. So don't pretend I'm the bad guy here, your time is nigh, seems like Hueco Mundo could do with a new ruler."

As he said it, Zensuke swung out his blade, and the area around him blackened.

Baraggan felt this fight wasn't going to be an easy one, he was going to end the life of the Shinigami, while Zensuke was thinking the same thing, he was going to end the life of the King, once and for all.

Meanwhile, Rukia was going on about her day, with Orihime in school still, though it had finished for the day, Orihime was helping Tatsuki with her karate lessons.

She thought about what Zensuke would be up to, recalling he was going to be fighting the King of Hueco Mundo, hoping against all hope that he was able to come home soon.

"Captain...please be okay." Rukia thought, gazing into the sky.

However, she wasn't alone for long, and she felt a presence behind her.

She turned, and saw it was Bambietta, and her eyes looked cold, almost emotionless, yet at the same time, her fingers were quaking, which she was clearly trying to stop herself as she kept her fists as tight as they could be.

"Bambietta-san…what's wrong? Has something happened?" Rukia asks kindly, having come to see Bambietta as someone she could consider a friend.

Sure they started off on the wrong foot, but she thought now, they could become friends, they at least had fun times together.

Letting out a small sad breath, Bambietta tightens her eyes, Rukia looking on in concern.

"You know, I never thought when I came to this town, I'd be…I'd be able to call a Shinigami, my friend."

"Yeah…" Rukia wondered where this was going.

Bambietta's eyes fly to the sky, letting out hard breaths.

She clutches her chest.

Her throat felt dry, her eyes kept blinking as if searching for something to keep them open.

It worried Rukia, seeing her friend in distress.

"Bambietta-san, you can tell me what's going on...I can help." Rukia tried her best to help.

But when she got close, Bambietta turned her eyes down to her, and her hand went up.

Immediately, Rukia saw the shaky hand exude her Reishi, in the form of an orb.

"Bambietta-san…what're you doing?" Rukia asks, her hand going for her blade.

She didn't know if Bambietta was going to attack, why she even would.

Rukia thought they were friends, allies, and they had put this behind them.

But Bambietta shed a tear, as she gets into a position to attack.

"I didn't want it to come to this. When I apologized that day we went to see Don Kanonji, I really meant it. I never wanted to do this to you, but I've got no choice now, I've got to fight against you, and I've got to win this fight, for the sake of the others, or our King will kill us. I can't ask for forgiveness, there's no other way out. I have to take you down!"

Bambietta, feeling anguish inside her heart, raised her hand, and her orb swirls within her palm.

Rukia looks at the young girl, as she pulls out her sword.

Allowing her sword to come out, Rukia begins swirling her blade around to activate her Shikai, knowing she'd need to do that now.

However, Bambietta was fast, and crossed the distance as Rukia called "Dance!" but the Quincy thrust her palm to the Shinigami, regret, and pain in her eyes, her movements somewhat dulled as her mind clouded with many harsh thoughts on herself, what she was doing.

In the moments hesitation, Rukia went to retreat, when Kisuke came zooming in, and slapped Bambietta's hand to the sky, sending her Reishi ball flying up high, safely detonating away from everyone else.

"Sorry, Bambietta-san. We haven't met, but my name is Kisuke Urahara, and I can't let you harm Kuchiki-san here."

As he said it, Liltotto came and stayed close by.

Yoruichi had gone to make sure the other Quincy wouldn't get involved.

Bambietta looked at Liltotto, wondering what was going to happen next...

Back with Zensuke and Baraggan, the Arrancar looked completely forlorn about fighting this kind of opponent, Baraggan flows his miasma all around him.

Looking like an ocean of miasma, Zensuke stayed calm, examining its properties, as Baraggan raised his axe to the sky.

"I am the King of Hueco Mundo! I've been alive for many centuries boy! And I'm not letting you, or anyone walk over me! I will destroy yooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Baraggan unleashed a slash from his axe, sending a wave of miasma for Zensuke.

Zensuke responds with crescent moon waves of darkness, calling out "Scream Kurohime!" and clashed with the miasma, Baraggan noticing the miasma waves were being broken through, to the point that his power was able to erase the eroding power he had, and came flying at him.

So he had to put up a dense wall of miasma all around his being to block the attacks, knowing he couldn't allow it to drop, or he'd be skewered by Zensuke's darkness.

Managing to block the attacks, Baraggan raised, and swirled his hand towards Zensuke, firing off a large torrent of miasma.

Zensuke this time leaps high into the air, believing it would be best, he went so high that he towered over the miasma.

"Get back here!" Baraggan yelled, and fires off multiple blasts of miasma, decaying all of the surrounding white trees.

Zensuke, thanks to Shunko and his own natural speed, managed to avoid being hit while in mid air, and then he raised his blade to the right hand side, summoning darkness all around his blade, causing the very sky to turn even blacker.

A form appeared in the darkness, a face at that.

It looked like a demonic looking Dragon, in the shape of a long body, and when Zensuke called out "Dragon Raid, Kurohime!" he unleashed his sword with a long wide slash, the Dragon demon creature howled into the nights sky, as it came down towards the enemy.

Baraggan turns his eyes up to the sky, refocusing his efforts as the Dragon dangerously came at him, changing the direction of the miasma, and has it all form a massive barrier that extended for over a mile, rotting everything it touched.

"Try it!" Baraggan baited.

"Alright then." Zensuke mused, as the Dragon came down towards the miasma wall.

Rushing right towards the, the Dragon managed to blast right into the miasma, and despite its rotting capability, the darkness Dragon was still coming at him with impeccable speeds, as if it was swimming through the ocean right now with near no resistance.

"No! Why?!" Baraggan yelled, raising his axe to clash with the Dragon of darkness.

"I told you, my girls special." Zensuke's words only drove Baraggan's rage higher, exactly what Zensuke was hoping for.

"Everything rots in this world! Your Dragon of darkness is no exception!"

"Indeed, you're correct. The Dragon is rotting, but its doing something as it does rot."

"Tell me!" Baraggan demands.

Zensuke snorts. "Yeah sure, let me divulge all of my powers in an instant to you so you can come up with the perfect counter? Do you think I'm an idiot or something?"

"You shall perish!" Baraggan roars, as the half eaten by miasma Dragon came flying at him, so Baraggan encompasses his blade with his Respira ability, the miasma gathering and violently clashed together, creating a struggle between them.

Baraggan felt his body being pushed back, despite the Respira ability working.

He saw the Dragons darkness being peeled away, piece by piece.

Yet so was his miasma, and at a faster rate.

When the Dragon got in close, Baraggan swung down, and cleaved through its body, only to hear "Scream Kurohime!" and a crescent moon shaped wave of arkness came for him, speeding at him like a train, and because the Dragon dispersed his miasma, it had a clear cut path to him.

Baraggan received the heavy black slash to his the right hand side, slicing off his arm, and consumed in the darkness to the degree it fell apart as it came down to the ground, looking like white little twigs scattered across the sand.

Baraggan's chest on the right hand side had also been damaged, bones cracked, and broken, his axe having been destroyed on one side when he tried deflecting the attack.

"You…You can't do this to me…" Baraggan breathed hard, his miasma spreading all around him.

"I can, and I will." Zensuke replies, moving across the ground, his feet digging into the very earth itself.

"This has to be your Bankai!" Baraggan chose to believe that.

A mere Shikai couldn't have done what he thought it did.

But Zensuke revealed the truth.

"This is my Shikai." Zensuke reports, Baraggan's face dropping considerably.

Baraggan couldn't accept it, and flew into a blind rage, firing himself up into the air, and then came down like a missile, his miasma all around him, causing everything within a miles radius to be turned into nothingness, sending all that power at Zensuke.

Adding to it, Baraggan swung out his axe repeatedly, firing off incredible waves of miasma that could kill many people.

Zensuke however used his incredible speed to get all around them, as he approached, kicking off the sand as he did so, and closed the distance.

As he did, Zensuke twirled a full 360 degrees, and called "Dragon Raid, Kurohime!" which summoned his iconic Dragon of darkness that speeds off from his blade, and swims all around him through the air, breaking down the miasma as he does so like a moving field of protection, albeit not as great as his more defensive abilities, but this allowed Zensuke to keep pressing forward, avoiding the bits of miasma that got through.

"He's dodging at such range, his Dragon is protecting him...he's taking my strongest attacks..." Baraggan watched with abject horror as he closed the distance, and came at him with a few slashes.

Baraggan tried blocking with his blade, his axe slamming hard against Zensuke's own blade, being chipped away and broken down as Zensuke's blade cleaves into it, since it had already been weakened before, now it was losing pieces with each clash, chunks of metal falling down to the floor.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Baraggan got his remaining arm taken off when he tried coming at Zensuke with a fist surrounded by miasma, being fired up into the air, where the darkness Dragon opened its mouth, and swallowed the arm hole, causing it to vanish from sight, while protecting Zensuke from the out of control miasma, leaving Baraggan now armless.

Zensuke watched the Arrancar breathe harder and harder, looking at him with a distorted worried look.

"T-This can't be. I can't lose to a Shinigami…!" Baraggan couldn't believe it.

He didn't accept it.

He wanted to finish off Aizen for what he had done.

He couldn't die to what he thought was a mere Shinigami.

"This is the end, Baraggan. Your arrogance, is one of your undoing's." Zensuke informs, and pulls close.

Baraggan breathed harder, and harder, and kept firing off waves of miasma at Zensuke, hoping his Respira ability would get through.

But Zensuke's Dragon kept getting in the way as it spun around him, managing to take the Respira away from Zensuke.

However, Baraggan saw a chance when the last pieces of the Dragon vanished due to his miasma, so he used this chance to attack, and rushed Zensuke, managing to get within his guard, and came down with his mouth, so he could breathe Respira right onto Zensuke.

Victory…so he thought.

His breathed out a hard wave down onto Zensuke's form, only to reveal it was an after image.

"No! He's...behind me!" Baraggan sensed him, and rapidly turned.

However, the real Zensuke appeared behind the Arrancar, and looked back at him, raising his sword to the sky, darkness erupting all around his blade.

"Bind, Kurohime." As he said it, Zensuke threw his sword outwards, causing a net of darkness to erupt all over the skeleton.

Baraggan grins. "I'll rot your bindings..."

Before he could finish, Zensuke stabs down into the darkness net, and calls out "Erupt Kurohime." resulting in darkness spheres beginning to erupt across the netting like small twisters looking little miniature black holes, comprised of dense spinning darkness Reiatsu, spinning faster, collecting Reiatsu into dangerous points along the netting.

Baraggan widens his eyes, struggling to break free from Zensuke's binding net, his miasma trying, but failing to fully get him out as Zensuke steps back, and leaps into a tree.

"This is one of my strongest techniques." Baraggan's eyes widen as Zensuke's sword goes out, looking at the menacing skeleton. "This is where we part, it was an honour, King of Hueco Mundo."

"No, you can't do this to me! I am the King! I wont lose to a mere Shingami!" Baraggan looked on in despair, as Zensuke raised his blade to the sky.

"So long, King Baraggan. Now goodbye." As Zensuke spoke, the mini black holes began creating a chain reaction with one another, resulting in a huge explosion that cleaved away the sands, and trees for nearly a mile.

The darkness explosion towered to the height of a skyscraper, a shockwave shaking all the trees it didn't obliterate in the forest.

Baraggan's howls died as the sound of the resulting explosion overshadowed his voice.

After the explosion died down, Zensuke looks down to see the crown of Baraggan's on the ground, albeit badly damaged, Baraggan's body completely destroyed.

Zensuke went down to the ground, examining the golden crown which he had saved, whistling at the sight of the ornate crown.

"All hail the King." Zensuke murmured, glancing to the right. "Or should I say Queen?"

As soon as he said it, a beautiful young woman came into view, looking to Zensuke with an expressionless face...

Back in the Human World, Bambietta's eyes flew between the three people there.

Rukia, Kisuke, and finally Liltotto.

Bambietta looked at him with a distraught expression, and then to Liltotto.

"Lil? What, what did you do?"

"I couldn't let you do it, I figured out you would do this, save us the pain of having to take out someone we consider a friend." Liltotto conveyed, pulling closer. "You've always been like this, so I have to stop you, and yes, I went to the Shinigami, because this isn't right. Zensuke Urahara, and Rukia Kuchiki, we can't kill them, they've been nothing but kind to us, even when we were the aggressors."

Bambietta didn't know what to think.

She thought that if she did this, she'd spare people she cared for from His Majesty, and she couldn't let anything happen to them.

Kisuke saw her going to her jacket pocket, and stopped her, snatching her wrist and kept it out.

"Don't do that."

Bambietta grits her teeth, showing a large amount of rage within her eyes.

Her powers begin to flow around her, Liltotto called out "No, don't!" but Bambietta looked at her, her eyes lowering to the ground, a feeling of pain surging inside of her heart, breathing a little harder than before, and her Reishi grew larger around her.

"Her explosive power I take it." Kisuke brought up his hand, and activated some barriers all around her, so her explosive force didn't detonate and kill anyone else, though he also believed by the way she was shaping her power, it wasn't actually going to hurt any innocent humans, he just made sure that was the case.

Rukia watched on with saddened eyes, wanting to understand why this was happening.

"Sorry Lil, but I gotta do this." Bambietta unleashed her powers, firing off a strong powerful explosion all around her.

Kisuke's barriers managed to stop the explosion from spreading, but he was impressed to see her explosive force was enough to completely shatter his barriers, as she sent off a few arrows for the older man.

Kisuke had no trouble batting away the arrows, drawing his sword, as the young girl leaps into the sky, her eyes landing on Rukia, and begins pulling back the arrow forming on her bow, her eyes meeting Rukia's own.

In the moment she did, Bambietta felt an expression of remorse, pain, remembering the good times they had together.

But then she remembered His Majesty, and what he'd do if he got his hands on her friends, so she half heartedly fired off an arrow towards her.

"Bambi!" Liltotto yelled, enlarging her jaw, and snatched the arrow out of the sky, devouring it completely.

"Lil..." Bambietta looked to Liltotto, shaking her head.

"Stop, we'll find another way." Liltotto reasoned.

"What other way? You know how strong he is..." Bambietta fired back.

"He is, but we'll find something, not this." Liltotto tried to persuade.

As she was distracted, Kisuke appeared behind Bambietta, and his hand pressed up against her back.

"Bakudo 63, Sajo Sabaku." Thick golden energy chains spring out of the ether, and circulate around Bambietta.

"Get off!" The Quincy was caught by the chains, Kisuke bringing her down to the ground.

"That's enough now." Bambietta scowled, as he held his Zanpakuto out, ready should she try and detonate. "No more explosions now."

"You don't know anything!" Bambietta yelled. "If I don't do this, then the others, me, we're finished! Do you think His Majesty is going to tolerate failure of this magnitude? No! He's going to end us for not doing our duty!"

"That's why you're going to tell us everything we need to know, so we can help you out." Kisuke surmised.

Bambietta didn't get it. "Why?"

"Because my son chose to believe in you, and I believe in his judgements, so I'm doing the same thing."

Bambietta twists her neck to the side, not sure what to think.

Stuck between what she was supposed to do.

Fight back, not fight back, listen to Liltotto or...

However, seconds later, as Bambietta was mulling over what to do, something strange occurred.

Rumblings began within the sky.

The sound of what appeared to be cracking, almost like glass filled their ears.

"What the..." Rukia looked up, her face draining of colour when she saw a hole in the sky, and Hollows beginning to fly out of it.

Liltotto looked, her face paling. "Bambi, tell me, please tell you you didn't use Hollow Bait…"

Bambietta shakes her head. "I swear I didn't! I'd never do such a thing!"

Liltotto looked at Bambietta, seeing her genuine surprise.

Kisuke tightens his eyes on the sky.

"Someone called the Hollows here, this is way more than I've ever seen come to a single place before on their own." Kisuke concluded, as he felt presences of Hollows of Gillian class, and more. "And now they're swarming to Karakura…what the hell is going on…? The town…"

Kisuke never expected this, and he was inclined to believe Bambietta hadn't done this, judging by the shocked expression on her face.

But whoever had, has called a legion of Hollows to descend onto Karakura, and while Kisuke had a good guess, he wondered why he'd even do this.

Rukia looked to Kisuke, who in turn tightened his eyes.

"I'm calling Captain Zensuke." Rukia surmised, and brought out her phone.

As she did, Kisuke wondered if this was Aizen, and if he had anything to do with this.

If so, then his timing couldn't be worse…

Within Hueco Mundo, the beautiful young woman who's face was covered by her jacket came out to Zensuke, moving closer, her blonde hair pulled back into three longish ponytails, a sword on her back, the handle sticking out to the side.

Who appeared, was Tier Harribel, Third Espada.

She stayed stationary for a few moments, locking eyes with Zensuke.

"You did it." Tier begins, moving closer.

Zensuke adopts a small smile. "Looks like. Thanks for keeping the barrier up, now all I've gotta do is use this data during this fight, mess with it, and have it play out a little time later, where everyone will feel the 'mystery Arrancar' has slain the former King, and you'll not be suspected as you'll be with others, all's gonna work out pretty well, I've even managed to cover my Reiatsu from here."

Tier nods slowly, approaching him. "Everything's done with the King, now what?"

"I've gotta head back out, got a situation being dealt with, though with my father there, I'm not too worried. But gotta check just in case, as next...well, it seems Sosuke-san is going to be moving soon. You sure you still wanna be partnered with me? I predict things are about to get wild."

Tier folds her arms. "I made my choice long ago to stand by you. I'm not about to change it now."

"Fair enough~ Thank you~" Zensuke sings, pulling closer, and put the crown on top of Tier's head. "Suits you, ever think of becoming the Queen of Hueco Mundo? After all this is hopefully done, they could use a good leader like you."

Tier looked at the crown, showing a small amused look. "If I was needed, I'd step up."

"I'm sure Hueco Mundo would welcome…" As he spoke, his phone went off, and saw it was Rukia. "One moment."

He answered and had a quick conversation with her.

Once finished, Zensuke turned to Tier who could see the shock in his eyes. "What is it?"

"Karakura's being raided by Hollows, Soul Society will pick up on this soon. This has to be Sosuke-san."

"What is he up to? None of the Espada have been sent to Karakura, I'd have known about it." Tier reasoned.

"He wouldn't waste the Espada with whatever he's up to now. I think he's reached past where he can wait, knowing he's not got many options left. He's now forcing a situation to go in his favour because all his other plans to entrap me and my father have failed, and is going with a wild plan. I've gotta head back, whatever he's up to, he's got to be stopped."

"I'll do what I can from here, see if I can deter Hollows, and slay them, I'll keep in contact." Tier added.

"Right, be careful." Zensuke speaks swiftly.

"You too." Tier finishes.

Zensuke and Tier split off from one another.

Zensuke knew the time had come, Aizen was making a move, so he was too, and whatever Aizen had planned, he'd stop it, no matter what...

Meanwhile, Aizen looked out of his office in the Seireitei, he thought about how this day was going to go, as he had already put his plan into motion.

He knew today was the day.

"Hey, Momo-chan~ Come for a quick delivery~"

"Ooh, thank you Zen-chan~"

Aizen could see from where he was, Zensuke's Gigai (though he thought it was the real deal) and Momo happily talking to one another, his eyes fixated on the young man, as Momo giggled, and swayed as he spoke cheerfully.

"Looks like the time has come, Zensuke-kun. You are one of the biggest obstacles, along with your father, but you know me more than your father, you're more dangerous to my plans. If only you'd come to my way of thinking, I wouldn't have to do this. But for the future of my goals, I've got no choice...lets see who wins this time, Zensuke Urahara, my friend..."

Aizen looked somewhat remorseful, for what he was about to do.

He did care about Zensuke, they were friends.

Aizen thought he was probably the only person who could understand him, having grown up in similar conditions, and thought together, nothing would be impossible.

But alas, Aizen knew Zensuke's way of thinking diverged from his own, so he had to make a drastic move to do what he needed to do.

And now, he had set his plan in motion, ready to take care of what was needed for next…

End chapter!

So, this chapter Zensuke had his confrontation with Baraggan, and showed more of his swords capabilities, while Baraggan thought he would have the advantage, but thanks to Zensuke's planning, and skills, he got overwhelmed, and got destroyed. And the big reveal of who's been supporting Zensuke in Hueco Mundo, is Tier! More of their backstory shall be shown at a later date, how they met, things like that~

Meanwhile, Bambietta made her move against Rukia, but Kisuke and Liltotto came to stop her, though now with Hollows pouring into Karakura, we'll have to see what happens between them, and what Bambietta is going to choose to do now, if she'll carry on or what she might do now things are getting more wild.

Then at the end, Aizen's finally making a move with seemingly attacking Karakura, but what he's gonna do, we'll see soon!

Well, until next time, thanks for reading!

Zensuke; Nemu, Orihime, Rukia, Toshiro (fem), Rangiku, Yoruichi, Momo, Nel, Tier,
