Fipp: So, in order for Ichigo to defeat Aizen, he can’t see his Shikai.

Which means he can’t see at all.

Which might be okay if he could sense someone’s spiritual pressure.

But he can’t.

Well, at least it’s nice to see Kenpachi slice Yammi to bits.

Squad Eleven Arc: Fight to the Death

The light faded, and the rumbling became silent.

Ikkaku popped out of the sand and began to cough up the parts of the desert he swallowed. “What the hell,”

“This is horrible,” Yumichika said, trying to get all the sand out of his hair. “It will take me days to clean!” He turned to the dazed and confused Yachiru. “Poor you, you have more hair then I do.”

“Are we dead?” she asked, her eyes replaced with little spirals.

“Technically speaking, yes, but that is not important.” Yumichika stood up and patted himself to get rid of the sand.

“What the hell was that light?” Ikkaku said as he jumped up and began to look around. “And where the hell is-?” His eyes widened. “No.”

Yumichika raised an eyebrow in confusion and turned to where Ikkaku was looking, only to gasp in shock. “This can’t be,”

“What’s happening?” Yachiru asked in confusion. She then quickly shook her head to clear her head. “What’re you guys staring at?” She then turned around, and immediately wished she hadn’t.

“God-sonofa-dammit!” Rock Hammer cursed and falling to the ground. Nearly his whole body had been blown away in the last strike, and his mask now sporting a series of cracks.

“That was certainly more then I expected,” said Visor, who was also greatly injured, but not as much as his partner.

“That bastard,” the larger hollow growled as he looked up and across the field. “Looks like we managed to kill him.” He stared at downed figure surrounded by blood-red sand.

“Yes, yes he is.” Visor then quickly grabbed Rock Hammer by the neck, sinking his claws deep into his flesh and lifted up.

“What the hell?! What are you doing?!” Rock Hammer yelled.

“Sorry about this,” Visor said with no hint of regret in his voice. “I’m hurt, and this is the best way to heal my injuries.”

“What? Wait! No-!”

Visor then opened his mouth and bit into Rock Hammer neck, tearing out a large chuck of his flesh and spilling a torrent of blood. He then swallowed the flesh and threw the corpse behind his back.

The wounds that were all over his body then healed up, and within moments he was completely healed.

“There, all better,” Visor said, cracking his neck to the side. “That was certainly an ordeal. If I hadn’t had killed him, things certainly would have-”

He then quickly summoned one of the ribbon blades from his body and used it to block the attacks of two people.

“So you did that?” asked the one with feathers on his eyes said.

“Who are you?” Visor asked, effortlessly pushing the two newcomers back.

“We’re just the guys you are going to kill you!” the bald one yelled. They both then jumped forward.

Yachiru’s eyes became wide at the sight.

“No,” Ikkaku whispered.

“It can’t be,” Yumichika said.

In front of them, only a dozen meters away, was Zaraki Kenpachi, slain.

“But-but how did this happen?”

There was a heavy silence amongst the three.

“That guy,” Ikkaku growled, drawing his sword from its scabbard. “He did this!”

“That one in front of us,” Yumichika said, also drawing his sword. “That ugly thing in front of us looks like a human, but its reiatsu is that of a hollow.”

Both of them gripped their blades and dashed at the creature.

Yachiru only stood there and stared. She then began to walk forward until she was at the body and dropped to her knees.

She placed her hands on the body and wiped away the dust, sand and blood from the body so that she could get a better look at the face.

It was true.

This was Ken-chan.

And he was dead.

She screamed.

Visor looked at the two newly appeared shinigami with bored eyes, as the looked at him with bloodthirsty eyes.

“Are you with that last shinigami?” he asked. “That captain that I just killed?”

“So you did kill him,” Ikkaku hissed.

“Of course I did, and now you two will die.”

“And what makes you think that?” Yumichika asked.

“It’s so simple it doesn’t require any thought,” Visor said. “Since you two are not captains, and I was able to defeat a captain.”

He vanished.

He reappeared between the two of them.

“I should kill you two easily.” He the punched the two of them in the sides and sent them flying into opposing ends of the canyon.

Yumichika crashed painfully into the rock wall and bounced off, only to be punched to the ground by Visor who quickly appeared next to him. He then reached down and grabbed Yumichika by the throat and began to choke him.

“See?” Visor said, slowly increasing his grip on the shinigami’s throat. “If he could not kill me, then you have no chance.” Several ribbon blades grew out of his back. “Anything you want to say before I kill you?”

Yumichika struggled to speak, before he managed to say something. “Normally, I would reside to death, than do this in front of another member of my squad,” he coughed, “but, I’m willing to make an acceptation since you killed my captain.”

Visor raised an eyebrow. “What?”

Azure blue reiatsu then flashed around Yumichika, and his eyes glowed this color. “Spilt and Deviate, Ruri'iro Kujaku!” The blade of his zanpaktou then exploded into a number of colorful vine, forcing Visor to release him and jump back.

“So, that’s your zanpaktou’s Shikai form”” he asked.

“Yes, yes it,” Yumichika coldly said. The peacock feather-like vines then rushed towards Visor and wrapped around him. “I see, so its capable of leeching my reiatsu from me. Impressive.” He then reached his hand out and grabbed one of the vines and pumped a large amount of reiatsu into it.

“What are you doing?” Yumichika gasped. Why was this man intentionally giving reiatsu to his Shikai? Then to his surprise, the vines began to grow and expand.

“Anything that absorbs, can only can in so much.”

The vines then exploded, sending Yumichika to the wall, knocking him unconscious.

“Fool,” he said.

There was then a loud scream. He turned around to see the bald shinigami leaping into the air.

“You’re going to get it now!” Ikkaku yelled as he drew his weapon. “Bankai!” He then exploded in red reiatsu.

Visor then brought out several ribbons to block the red mass, only to feel massive blades crash down on them.

The red glow vanished, revealing Ikkaku holding a massive three-section weapon. “Ryumon Hozukimaru!”

Visor pushed Ikkaku back, having the shinigami land on the sand. The dragon crest on the center blades was already half-way filled.

“So now it’s your turn to fight me?”

“You bet! And when I get done with you, I’m-!”

Ikkaku stopped in mid-sentence as he felt stabbing pain in his back. He slowly turned his head around to see a dozen ribbon blades shooting from the ground behind, through his the blade of his Bankai, and right through him.

“Pitiful attempt,” Visor said, bringing his blades out of the sand and drawing Ikkaku towards him. “But, it’s to be expected.” He then pointed his hand out, and blasted him with a massive, point-blank cero.

When the light faded, Visor released Ikkaku, causing Ikkaku to fall to the ground, his Bankai shattering into a million pieces.

Visor looked down at the down shinigami, before vanishing.

Yachiru cried near the body of Kenpachi.

How was this possible? He never lost a fight! Never! Sure, there was fight when Ichigo first stormed the Soul Society, but that ended in a tie! He could beat anyone!

He beat Tousen. He beat Maki. He beat Nnoitra. He helped beat Yammi. He beat Midoriiro.

But, he lost here.

What would she do now?

“Mourning for the loss of your captain?” Yachiru froze as the cold voice behind her. She barely had time to turn around before she was kicked and sent right into a wall.

Yachiru’s head hit the stone, causing a large bleeding gap that pushed her to teetering between consciousness and unconsciousness.

“Such a waste of the Seireitei’s finest,” Visor said, pointing his hand to the vice-captain and began to charge a cero.

“Damn, it,” Yachiru coughed, her vision going dark,

Visor fired the cero

At this point, Yachiru could see very little, but she was certain she was something green and white appear between her and the cero, and caught it.

“What the-” Visor gasped as the cero then grew smaller, before instantly firing back at him, creating a massive explosion upon impact.

“What,” Yachiru asked.

“Damn it all!” Visor asked, walking out of the smoke created from the attack, clearly angered that his own cero had been fired back at him. “Just who the hell are you?!” he asked the figure between him and Yachiru. “Wait, I know you. The last time we met, you tried to convince me to become an Espada.” Visor smirked. “It has been a while, Nelliel Tu Oderschvank.”

The arrancar captain stood silent before Visor. She then turned her head to the side. “I’m sorry I couldn’t make it in time Yachiru. The Senkaimon opened only a few minutes ago.”

“Nel-chan,” Yachiru said.

“I will try to finish this as fast as I can. Please hold on.” Nel turned back to Visor. “You’re powerful, aren’t you? I can tell that you’ve grown Vasto Lorde since , just by standing here.” She then drew her sword and held it horizontally in front of her. “I myself am a Adjuchas-class hollow, so fighting you with anything less then my full power would be suicide.” She then raised her other hand and rested it against the tip of her sword. “Declare,”

The last thing Yachiru saw before everything went black was Nel entering her released form.
