Fandom Bleach: Hell Unleashed

[EtherealDarkling]

Tetsu's face unwrapped its grim expression to reveal one of minor surprise as he saw his kidō spell crumble and slow down. The other named James had suddenly appeared to crush the attack, of which greatly confused him as he would be able to detect when he would approach them. "..What? How could a level 75 bakudō be stopped in this fashion?" he thought aloud as the two enemies met up with each other. From just a few yards away he could overhear the one named Liron boast about the ability of his weapon that weakened the enemies movements and attacks after inhaling the fumes from his weapon that had been referred to as Taneju. Tetsu felt an unfamiliar shakiness that resonated from within him, causing his mind to teeter on the brink of dizziness. At hearing this information, Tetsu shook his head and sighed deeply, trying his absolute hardest to not give off any waver of apprehension. As they dispersed, Tetsu, with a bit of trouble not familiar to him, had managed to catch up to them and faced the both of them head on. ".....Do you really want to go this route with me? In case you haven't noticed, there are reasons as to why my zanpakutō has not been drawn or even released yet.." He patted the flat end of the thickly bandaged sword to enforce his statements. "I'll ask you this once and only once. So please, accept defeat now and surrender yourselves to us or face the consequences by my own hands." Tetsu's expression remained blank as he stated this, making his usual passive expression seem distant. The hilt of his blade began to vibrate and shake as his wavering reiatsu began to affect it. "Looks like I might have to take this up a notch after all. I just hope it won't go that far." The low cackling from his zanpakutō echoed in his ears at it threatened to release itself due to the cells causing his reiatsu to become a little less stable.

 

[CrystalFalls]

Choumi gasped as the reiatsu she formed below her feet shook, starting to dissolve. It would be a nasty fall if dropped from 80 feet in the air, shinigami or not. She screams slightly as the solid platform dissolved under her left foot. Her reiatsu felt slippery, and the impeccable control she had over it now felt like it was nonexistent. She willed herself to disappear in a cloud of butterflies, closing her eyes tightly as she forced her spiritual energy to comply. She appeared shakily on the roof of a building near by, gasping for air at the close call.


She was impressed by how well the captain handled the situation. And that's the difference between captain class and the rest of Soul Society, she thought, shaking her head. She wasn't going down there until her reiatsu was under control, or else she'd just be a burden.

 

[WrittenHollowness]

Ryujii felt his own reiatsu levels fall drastically after their encounter with his opponent's commander. No doubt, his strange occurrence had to have been affecting his comrades as well. After a split second of thought, the lieutenant nodded toward his captain, to let him know he had the situation covered, and began focusing his remaining energies. With their power being drained he only had one option in order to maintain. "Intertwined with the body and mind, set flight to defy the king of Gods and rise above their lot," Tengoku trembled in pleasure as the awaited release of his power approached. "Let the songs of the Holy ones tear through the darkness! Shin no Hosuto no Nageki!!!" A burst of spiritual pressure echoed throughout the area accompanied with the sound of an angelic choir singing wordlessly. Ryujii, his appearance changed with his Bankai, sank into the ground and started his pursuit of his two targets.

 

[Krystael]

Kishi nodded, already having been reading herself for the catch by gathering reishi under her feet, but was thankful for Itsuki's bakudo. The teenager straightened from the crouch she had landed in, looking around in confusion and interest, her head snapping towards new energies once she sensed them, one seemingly familiar... she didn't have the time to think about it, there was someone approaching them, through the air. One of her green eyes bled immediately to gold, her relationship with her hollow much more symbiotic then it had been before, and much more responsive to a fight.


The teen was about to jump forward into the air to meet the oncoming threat herself, when Torres burst past her, his movements whipping her hair and clothes forward with the force of it. Angrily shoving her hair back, she glared at Torres's back, barking out his name, "Torres! What are you doing!?" Internally she screamed in frustration, only to follow after him a moment later.


"Dream HiMizu!" Her blades split apart, growling as she did so, her body poising to release her fiery attack, only waiting for an opening where she wouldn't fry Torres s well. Her eyes were studying the one that was coming for them, although she had noted the ones seeming to stand back and watch.... Why were they just letting this one come forward? What was the point, shouldn't they all be trying to attack instead of just sending one... Hopy shit, it was Riyoshi. What the hell happened?!


_________________________________________________________


The one standing a bit behind the other two frowned, agreeing silently. They would have to execute this perfectly, as easy as she tries to make it sound, it would actually be fairly difficult.


A dark brow raised slightly in question of her last statement, "Except that the one they are currently fighting is their own friend. And they are extremely squeamish about morals, at least the shinigami are is. This may take a bit longer than you are expecting."

 

[backlash]

The speed that Torres and Riyoshi approached each other was phenomenal. In an instant, Riyoshi and Torres were right next each other and words were spoken quickly.


"Kill them." Riyoshi spoke out to Torres.


And within the next instant, Riyoshi was on his way to Kishi's location.


~~~~~


The man stood with the other two and looked upon the newly arrived group.


"That is the thing. They might try to save him, but if he gives no choice, then they will have no other choice but use force. Now the pawns that are there are set up to ensure that force is used." The man spoke to the other two next to him.


~~~~~


Pete and Jack looked upon the arran car with a smile.


"Now we will see how the new riyoshi will deal with them." Jack spoke out as he looked upon Riyoshi.


"Why did he just pass him up?" Pete asked.

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Tetsu watched as his lietenant activated his bankai, an approach already forming in his mind. He stood still for several moments, deep in concentration. He knew that he'd needed to act quickly, with the gas already in his system, despite his efforts to redirect it before he breathed in any more. The trembling reiatsu made it difficult to focus so that it would be more stable, but eventually he was able to bring his plan into fruition. Though his zanpakutō was not in its shikai form, the wrapped blade emitted a small quantity of black smoke from within the wrappings and it levitated from inside his haori. With a tug it was free, Tetsu gripping the sword tightly as not to lose his focus. The blade shook violently and the cackling laughter from before grew louder in volume. The blade vibrated lightly as it pointed itself at the two enemies. "Congratulations, maybe one of you will be the few who have ever crossed blades with this sword." Tetsu smirked lightly, the rest of his expression ringing out alertness. And with that, Tetsu was on his way, breaking out into an all out sprint from behind Ryujii, acting as his counterattack for whomever he targeted.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

Torres shot towards the duo and with a movement, faster than his usual unreleased speed thanks to his mask being whole being was already past the group that had held Riyoshi. Re-sheathing his sword having already slashed his opponent faster than they could see thanks to his Sonido.


---------------------------------------------------------


Liron smirked as the Shinigami followed like flies as he fired out seeds that grew into venus fly trap plants that would lie in wait anything that close by that had reaitsu they would consume and devour, even pure kido spells they could eat. Although they could only eat something once and then their mouths would be full. Liron made sure to fire at least 5 to keep the Shinigami occupied as he made his way to his fruit which looked almost full grown.


He suddenly looked around for the Hollow.


"Hey, where did that bug go?"

 

[WrittenHollowness]

Ryujii phased through the ground swiftly, taking note that roots were beginning to tunnel into the soil. He passed through as many of the plants as he could manage, utterly destroying them in the process. The organisims seemed to have some kind of over-charged ability to tamper with their reiatsu at their master's will, which would be useful in different circumstances. But, the duo failed to realize exactly who their opponents were and why they were in the highest tier of the Gotei 13. Ryujii sensed spiritual pressure above his head and surfaced with a mighty jump. He said nothing as he swiped his entire arm in a horizontal fashion. The appendage, as sharp as his blade, was guaranteed to strike home.

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Tetsu followed closely by Ryujii until the Venus flytrap plants began to form, which promptly made his lieutenant phase into the ground. The first couple attempted to shred his haori in order to grab him; he used flash step in rapid succession with a little strain on his body as a result. Thankfully, Ryujii rid him of his pursuers and he peered out ahead to catch a glimpse of Liron from afar. With a swift slash of his sword, he activated Bakudō #45 Kyokkō, his body running full speed into the rainbow colored space. As he made his way to Liron, he could make out Ryujii arise from the ground, already in his swinging motion towards the enemy. Using the spell's ability to conceal himself, he traveled his way to Liron's left and then began leveling his reiatsu in preparation for another barrage of kidō spells.

 

[backlash]

James looked upon the shinigami as he called upon bankai. With a smile upon his face the armor grew fully across his body and he kept an eye upon the shinigami. One vanished under the ground and the other seemed to vanish into thin air.


"I want the bankai brat." James said as he looked at Liron.


Thrusting his arm towards Ryujii, James smiled for he knew that the blade would hold no power behind the hit.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

Liron knew James would take care of Ryujii, so he turned his attention to Tetsu or where he once was. He then fired off seed bullet after seed bullet as they smashed into the ground, growing thorny vines that began grow all along the area turning it into a death trap, firing until they continue to grow over the entire area and one grew out past Testu's Kyokkō, pulling it away and just almost stabbing him as more thorny vines grew towards him to impale him.


"How cute, you think I need to see you to kill you."

 

[WrittenHollowness]

(cue "On the Precipice of Defeat")


Ryujii had no time to react defensively to the attack. The man's arm barreled toward him covered in the same armor he was using earlier before. The shikigami stood there as the armored hand hit his chest--and passed right through. The lieutenant smirked as he let himself and his zanpaktou solidify around the enemy. The sound of bells turned the song of his banki to haunting notes and Ryujii was sure there wasn't much time to waste on playing with his meal.


"Since you are stuck here, how shall I finish you?" he asked the armored man, secretly impressed with his resilience. Maybe in another life, they could have been a dynamic duo--sword and shield. It didn't take just anyone to take a hit from Tengoku ans stand, in shikai form no less. This man deserved nothing but respect from his opponent, and this lieutenant wasn't going to deny him that right. He released the man from his hold and took a few flash-steps back.


"I am Hitachi Ryujii, Lieutenant of the 9th Divison. It was an honor to fight you." He stated, eyes glinting steel in the light cast through the leaves.

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Tetsu's reiatsu began to stable itself as the time staying hidden passed for a few moments. The area around him began to shook as a barrage of vinery began to grow from around him. One of them nearby had pulled away the curtain of the spell and it quickly dissipated as the vinery traveled further and nearly stabbed him. "Shit." he thought as the vinery tangled itself around him. At this point, Tetsu was beginning to lose his temper, the moving vines lacerating his haori and the exposed skin on his arms. The two enemies have shown that they had little concern over who they were dealing with and they were treating them as if they were toys. It was time to take things a step further. A dark blue energy began to surround and crackle off of Tetsu's body, his blade began to emit more smoke from within its wrappings, this time causing them to unravel itself from the sword. The laughter coming from the sword increasing to its maximum volume. "Punish.." He mumbled darkly as the sword split itself apart into 7, instantly they swung violently at the vinery, slicing up the area around Tetsu until he felt the vinery tangled around him begin to break apart. Snatching himself lose, he strolled his way forward in a calm manner as the 7 swords cut their way through until he the full body of Liron was visible. Once finished they all arranged themselves in a semicircle from behind him, the earth around the area began to shake violently at the ocean deep spiritual pressure. Tetsu's face held a snarling expression as he uttered the rest of his release. "Gōman-ō."

 

[Krystael]

Kishi pushed past Riyoshi, she didn't have any wish to fight her friend just yet if she didn't have to be totally honest. She wasn't even two seconds behind Torres, an almost feral grin on her face as she moved forward, slashing down with her right blade only to stab forward with the left, using their shock to her advantage. Resealing her blade and sheathing it before the man had even hit the ground she frowned, "I thought Sinners or whatever were supposed to be stronger then that?"


The teen looked over to Torres as if to confirm that that kill had indeed been to easy. Not that it was really killing... Right? Ugh, she didn't have time for this moral bull shut, they needed to deal with Riyoshi and get out of here, their time limit was coming up short soon, "Torres?" The question hung, as she made a polite hand gesture, motioning him forward first. To be honest, she was a bit worried about his mask, but it wasn't something she hadn't seen before, just... Weird to be seeing it now.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

Torres smirked as both enemies collapsed, having been cut down so easily. He was definitely disappointed. He looked up remembering their time limit. They had best move unless they wanted to be stuck here and he did not wish to be stuck in another sunless abyss of emptiness.


He turned around and using Sonido, rushed to grab Riyoshi, forcefully if necessary and literally drag him back up to the original area they had come from, as he shot up, using a small Cero to give himself extra push.


"Come on, let's take him home and get out of here." Torres yelled at Kishi angrily, even though he had no reason to be.


--------------------------------------


Liron was forced to jump back as the strange blades sliced through his vines so easily, like tissues. Now he had seven swords to attack with. Liron was getting annoyed, but regardless he still had his ace up his sleeve. The fruit would be ready in just a few minutes and then they would all die!

 

[EtherealDarkling]

Tetsu wasted no time as Liron jumped away to avoid him and his released state. He broke into another all out sprint, his rapid flash step causing him to zig-zag, his seven swords trailing behind him in a spiral resembling a serpent. His feet drifted across the ground as his right hand shot out forward. "Bakudō #61, Rikujōkōrō!" The 6 arrowhead beams quickly attaching themselves to the enemy before him. It was unknown to him whether or not Liron was able to break through it, but he didn't want to take that chance. Shortly thereafter, his left arm swung upwards as the ground below began to break apart, a white glow shining from within. "Bakudō #66, Shin'en no rensa!" Heavy and brightly lit chains snaked out of the ground and honed in on the enemy who was still airborne. Once attached, the chains would violently snatch him and slam him into the ground. If that did happen, Tetsu would take the opportunity to end this fight. His swords scattered forward, surrounding the area where the white chains arose from, ready to attack on mental command.

 

[CrystalFalls]

Choumi studied the fight going down underneath her, trying to suppress her fluctuating reiatsu. It would do any good for her to go down there and lose control of herself halfway through, and activating her bankai was her absolute last-resort, as her bankai was a bit disturbing. She felt the spore she'd inhaled earlier creep through her body, making her lose control even further. In a way, she slowly readjusted to the chaos inside herself, still not at the best of shapes, but enough to teleport without leaving parts of herself behind.


"Flutter a thousand wings," she muttered underneath her breath, a bit irritated at having to resort to using commands for her shikai once again. She reappeared a distance away, safe enough to not be in immediate striking range, but still be able to see the battle clearly. "Vanish into a thousand blades." She watched as the sword in her hands dissolved into small butterflies the size of pennies, and as they descended towards the plants, intently on slicing them apart.

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi watched as Kishi flew past him and headers for the sinners. A tear built up in his eyes as he knew they would be slain. Landing upon the spot in front of Noah, Riyoshi picked him up and placed him upon his shoulder.


"We need to head out before the guardians show up. They will be looking for me." Riyoshi said out loud to Kishi and Torres.


Just as he was about to take off, his wings spread wide and a forceful hand took a grip oh his wings. Looking over his shoulder, the tear dripped down his cheek.


~~~~~


"I don't care whom you are. You fight like a coward. Why don't you stop dodging me and fight me like a man!" James yelled out as he glared upon the vice captain.


~~~~~


Jack looked upon the arran car and the vizard. With a smile upon his face, he took in a deep breath.


"I am glad to see that Riyoshi made some new friends." He spoke out as he and Pete were cut in half and disintegrated into the ground beneath.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

As Torres, Kishi and Riyoshi dashed towards the exit of hell, they managed to make it to the first level before a group of Guardians started chasing after them, They started phasing through the wall cas they reached out to try grab them.


Torres just continued to race forward, heading for the exit. He was breathing heavy and low as he used Sonido to keep speeding up.


-------------------------------------------------


Liron was hit by the first spell as the rods slammed into his midsection, incapacitating him as he fell to the ground as his Bakkoto's tendrils grew all the way across his arm, along his right shoulder as it began to grow across his face as the chains shot out and wrapped around him.


Liron just laughed as he was restricted as he looked up to the giant fruit that had been growing above his fruit, having led the Shinigami to this area.


"It's too late now!" He yelled out for them all to hear.


"My fruit is ready, it has slowly been growing.... It has been fed all my reiatsu through Taneju and now it is finally ripe and you will all die, I may die as well, but I don't care as long as I take you retched Shinigami with me. We will be free one way or another."


The fruit he had shot up during his battle with Subara had finally grow ripe, it was now the size of a beach ball and was bright red and glowing as it pulsed and throbbed. It pulsed one last time before it began to glow bright yellow as it exploded creating a massive explosion that began to encompass the entire area all the Shinigami and the outlaws had been fighting, obliterating anything in it's path, starting with Liron as he was eradicated into dust as the explosion expanded outward towards the others.


(How you get out of this explosion is up to you, as for Liron he is finished and dead. Please don't GM and make it seem like it wasn't an easy take to avoid this attack, it is a suicidal attack using all his remaining power.)

 

[Krystael]

Kishi strained to go faster as the hand of the Guardian started to reach for them. She could see the exit, it was within reach! The teen tried to ignore the way her heart was pounding and how ragged her breathing was. Shunpo shouldn't be this hard for her, but occupied with the terror from Hell's Guarding's, she wasn't exactly shunpoing in a normal situation. Her eyes set as the hand started to drop down on them, "Jump!" Jumping over the hand and running across it a bit, she used it as a platform to jump forward and force her way through the opening.


Ducking and rolling on the ground, she landed hard, but was immediately up on her feet to turn and watch for the others to come through, knowing that they had been right behind her. Hopefully none of them got grabbed in the process.

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi was last in the group and with noah upon his shoulder, he would not let the guardians get them. As the giant hand slammed upon the ground, he followed Kishi and leaped over the hand and as they came to the opening, he threw noah through the slit and towards kishi. Turning in mid air, Riyoshi began to glow green.


"You will not be taking me alive! Dragons cage!" Riyoshi yelled out as he placed his hands in front of his chest.


His wings vanished and a giant green orb formed. Forcing his hands out towards the Guardian, a giant skeletal cage formed holding it down.


Continuing his path towards the opening, Riyoshi fell upon the ground and rolled a few times. Laying face down upon the ground, Riyoshi was not moving or breathing.


~~~~~~


James seen the attack that Liron used and just smiled.


"Always with the flashy techniques." James spoke out as he didn't try to evade the attack.


Taking in a deep breath, James looked upon the shinigami with a smile. If he tried to run from the attack, he would ensure that the shinigami wouldn't.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

Torres kept using Sonido to try stay ahead of the Hell's Will, even launch some Bala at them, but it barely fazed them. It was insane how strong these things were, totally out there....


Even Riyoshi's cage did little as the Guardian just started phasing through it, that ultimate technique of just passing through solid matter was truly amazing.


However it was enough just for them to say that fraction ahead as he also jumped through the portal, following Riyoshi and Kishi.


They all landed back in the abandoned mining area in the real world, with Mr Uralt standing before them still using his energy to hold open the portal. He finally released his reiatsu, allowing the portal to slowly close behind them before the Guardian's followed.


-----------------------------------


Meanwhile the mysterious trio had followed Torres, Kishi and Riyoshi without their knowledge to the portal and watched them enter it.


"Ok, now. Do you thing, using your power to jam the portal open, but just a tiny bit so they won't notice. We don't want them to know anything.... yet. We only need to keep the portal a jar, from closing completely."

 

[Krystael]

Kishi grinned as she saw Torres make it through the ever closing portal, still panting, but obviously not worried about it. The teen couldn't help the upbeat feeling coming off her, or her excitement, as she moved forward to clap their friend returned on the back, "Riyoshi!" She was careful not to hit Itsuki as well as she did so of course, "I'm so glad we managed to get you back, we were worried about you."


She looked over expectantly at Torres, obviously prompting him to say something to Riyoshi as she did so. Torres didn't always get the whole 'interaction' thing, not that she minded, but it did make things a bit awkward in certain sitatuins.


Green eyes flicker over to the almost closed portal, a crease appearing in her brow. She could have sworn... Never mind, it was probably just a little bit of left over air escaping Hell.


_________________________________________________


A grin pulled at dead grey features, sharp teeth showing, "With pleasure..." The man's voice broke out in a soft purr like rumble, obviously takingjoy in being able to stretch his legs so to speak a bit.


A small second of concentration, and a little wave of his glowing blue hand was all it took to misdirect and misguided the assorted shinigami vizard and Arrancar gathered, to give his own group time enough to slip through the portal unnoticed as well.

 

[PyroWarriorZ]

"Well you knuckleheads actually did it. Not only did you make it back alive, but you actually managed to get back your friends. I'm an actually a little impressed. You are still all a bunch of twits, but I'm impressed." He said as he waved his newspaper at them, almost scolding them as grandparent might. He then started sipping on some coffee he had seem to brought as he walked away.


"I would suggest you get some rest, hell can really take it out of people. More then they realize..."


Torres slowly scraped himself off the ground as he brushed off the dust from the dirty ground of the mine.


"So now what?" He asked, seemingly back to normal as his mask had crumbled away.

 

[backlash]

Riyoshi's head moved slightly to the left and a breath exhaled through his lips. The hit upon his back got him to focus on the surroundings around him.


"What happened?" Riyoshi said as his eyes glanced over at Torres.
