To Make The Final Cut
“Feast upon his final breath… and take your seat on the throne of creation… Neo… Rei… Ryu!” Reiatsu built up suddenly around Ken’ichi and swirled like a hurricane. Flashes of the blue energy cracked and exploded in front of his face. His eyes remain closed as he transformed. His hands grew, becoming talon like; he felt his zanpakutou extend and curve, the point splitting into two blades. He rested the weapon upon his shoulder, blades spiking out like the fangs of a giant beast. “This is my release. This will be all I need to beat you, and you will die here at the feet of Rei and I!” Ken’ichi shouted as he raised his zanpakutou. He opened his eyes to reveal empty voids, blazing a fiery red.
In an instant he faded from the spot, appearing a moment later behind the arrancar, Yin Taku. “I hope you’re ready,” Ken’ichi whispered, a sly smile appearing across his lips. The former shinigami raised his blade, before fading again. Seconds later he brought his weapon slicing towards Yin Taku’s. The sound of the blades meeting sent a shockwave through Karakura town. “This form of yours may have made you stronger, but you’re still nothing more than an insect beneath my feet,” the arrancar said, holding Ken’ichi off as he gripped his sword with one hand. ‘He’s strong, I barely stopped his attack,’ he thought to himself. Both warriors continued tricking each other as they fought, blades glinting as they danced in the sky. Neither of them was gaining the upper hand.
‘I hope I’m not to late,’ Maya thought as she raced towards the battleground. ‘He’ll likely get himself killed if he’s not careful.’ The blonde continued leaping from building to building searching for signs of her former teacher. She glanced down at her zanpakutou resting at her waist and then turned towards the horizon in time to see a shockwave flying towards her. “Shit!” she yelled, bending her knees she threw herself out of its way. ‘I guess I’ve found them then,’ she thought, launching off in the direction the wave had come from.
Ken’ichi raised his sword above his head again, preparing to slash downwards, his breathe coming in small pants. ‘This guy is good, I’ve never had so much fun before, but I must end it. I may need Bankai.’ Ken’ichi looked up to see a cero soaring through the air towards him. “Damn!” he shouted, raising his arm in front of his face in an attempt to block the attack. The impact sent the ex-Captain flying downwards towards the city below, a huge crater appearing in the ground where he landed. Yin Taku faded from where he was standing. When he reappeared a moment later he spun out, landing a kick into the gut Ken’ichi. Explosions could be heard as he was thrown into a group of trees. He slowly raised himself to his knees, gasping for breath as he looked towards the man rushing at him. His legs wobbled as he pushed himself to his feet. As he looked at the blurred world around him, trying to regain focus he saw the female Arrancar standing nearby, watching him. ‘I’m almost out here… I can’t take another hit li–‘ His thoughts were cut off by a sharp pain in his stomach. Looking down he saw a sword impaled through his gut, blood seeping out the wound. ‘It… it… can’t be.’ A smile formed on Yin Taku’s face as he held the hilt of his sword. Stepping backwards he drew his zanpakutou out of the shinigami’s chest and placed his hand against Ken’ichi’s back. “Don’t worry, this will be from point blank range… you will not survive,” he said, raising his hand and building up another cero attack. Just as he was about to fire off the cero a bolt hit his hand sending the blast into the air, completely missing Ken’ichi. Yin Taku looked around to see the source of the bolt. Seeing the young blonde shinigami he smirked. “That came from little you?” Maya gripped her wrist, breathing heavily as smoke rose from her palm. ‘That’s about all I could do, but now I’ll have to step in to fight for him.’ She reached for the hilt of her zanpakutou, stopping at the sound of a familiar voice. “I’m… I’m not done yet Maya, leave this to me.” Ken’ichi smiled grimly as he stood up. He held his arms out to reveal a shimmer of blue and yellow reiatsu forming cuffs round his wrists. “I guess I should release these.” “What, what are they?” Yin Taku looked puzzled by the appearance of the reiatsu cuffs around Ken’ichi’s wrists. “Kidou. Bakudou number fifteen, created by the ex-twelfth division captain… before he left that is,” Ken’ichi said, smiling as he spoke. “The cuffs are a binding, holding back my reiatsu, only allowing me to access the smallest amount. Now I’ve removed the binding, my reiatsu will increase by around five fold. I hope you’re ready,” he said again as the cuffs around his wrist faded and an eruption of reiatsu engulfed Ken’ichi, building up almost instantaneously. Yin Taku suddenly felt the intense spiritual pressure pushing at him, causing his knees to buckle under him. He fell onto the ground. ‘This can’t be, how has he got so much power left?’ He struggled, trying to thrust against the pressure. He felt a sword stab through his shoulder blade but when he looked down there was nothing there. ‘Was that his intent I just felt? He’s really prepared to kill me,’ he thought. All of a sudden blood exploded from his chest, but when he stared at Ken’ichi he saw the man hadn’t moved at all. “The way I am now, I’m roughly at around thirty percent power. I believe you’re feeling it: my intent. I will kill you, and I won’t feel guilty about it.” Blue energy exploded around Ken’ichi again, his piercing red eyes glaring at the arrancar. Fading from the spot he appeared spinning in front of Yin Taku, slamming a roundhouse kick into the arrancar’s gut, lifting him from the ground. Spinning again, Ken’ichi slammed into his opponent’s face, sending the big man flying through the air, skidding to a halt next to a tree. ‘I can’t even begin to keep up with his movements. What is he? Some kind of monster?’ Yin Taku thought, his breath coming in short pants. He opened his eyes to see Ken’ichi appear in front of him, his feet slamming into Yin’s gut. The ex-shinigami held out his zanpakutou in front of the arrancar’s eyes. “You have lost,” Ken’ichi said, raising his zanpakutou above his head and thrusting it towards the arrancar’s face. Just before it could reach its target, an explosion of dust built up around the two causing Ken’ichi to stop his movement in confusion. “Destroy using a bullet with their name… Danmaku.” The shockwave released sent Ken’ichi soaring backwards where he came to a halt on the grass. He watched as Yin Taku made his transformation. At first, all he could see was the dust and smoke; suddenly a tail whipped and cut through the cloud. Ken’ichi’s eyes widened as the dust began to clear. Where Yin Taku had been moments before now stood a beast, holding itself up with one hand and foot, tail thrashing around. No human flesh could be seen; only his mask remained, now fully covering his features with what looked like a goat’s skull. Ken’ichi’s attention was drawn to the arrancar’s arm. The arm was normal up to his elbow, from there on his entire forearm had changed into a cannon. Yin Taku smiled, hidden behind his mask. “This is my zanpakutou’s release. You should feel lucky, you’re the first person to see this in battle.” He stood on both feet, gripping the cannon with his remaining hand; a red glow building up within the cannon. ‘A cero. But how can it be releasing so much power? That’s just crazy! I don’t think I can move in time,’ Ken’ichi thought as he watched the blast rocketing towards him. When the cero hit he felt like his flesh was being pulled from his bones as he plummeted through the air. Struggling, he managed to slow his movement, one hand thrust forward like a gun, the other resting across his wrist. Gasping for air he saw Yin Taku appear across from him. “Well done, using one of your own attacks to lower the impact. Clever,” he said. (moments ago) “hado no sanjyu san: sokatsui!” Ken’ichi yelled out, sending a blast of blue energy from his from his finger. The blast made impact with the cero seconds before the arrancar’s attack tore into Ken’ichi. ‘That was close, if that had hit me, I would have been in a troublesome situation,’ he thought, looking at Yin Taku. His breath was still heavy as he tried to prepare himself for the next attack. As he released a breath, the air was knocked out of him violently as a fist hit his gut. He doubled over in pain, closing his eyes. As he opened them he saw he was staring straight into Yin Taku’s cannon. ‘This is not good!’ he thought. As he tried to move away he felt a hand gripping his shirt, holding him back. He felt heat on his face as another cero attack built up. Eyes fluttering shut, he built up his own reiatsu to protect himself. Yin Taku laughed to himself as he continued to fire cero after cero into Ken’ichi’s face. He spun his arm out and threw the former shinigami to the ground, causing a huge explosion of dirt and dust as he landed. Yin slowly floated towards the crater, landing just at the edge of the steep drop. Laughter still came from his mouth as he stared down at the fallen shinigami. “This was way too easy. I mean, I actually thought you might be a worthy opponent to test my full power against. But just like everyone else, you didn’t stand a chance the moment I increased my power,” he said mockingly. Ken’ichi slowly raised himself up. As he stood up a smile spread across his face. “You seem happy for some who’s going to die!” Yin said as he folded his arms across his chest. “I was just thinking,” Ken’ichi said, smiling. “If this is all you’re capable of, then we really didn’t need to come. I mean, you’re strong, but you’re barely a challenge. I’m actually bored. As troublesome as it is, I may be required to use Bankai just to show you how weak you actually are.” His smile grew as he drew his zanpakutou. “But just to warn you, my Bankai is legendary. Rei here is the strongest Dragon Zanpakutou.” “Shit, shit, shit, that’s all I’ve heard from you since the start. You talk the big fight, but every level of power you’ve shown, I have surpassed easily!” Yin Taku raised the cannon again, aiming directly at Ken’ichi, a red glow beginning to build up, larger and larger until it almost engulfed the arrancar. “How many times do I need to repeat myself? I am not a shinigami anymore,” Ken’ichi said, smirking. Yin Taku fired the cannon, the cero attack rocketing towards the former shinigami. The energy enveloped Ken’ichi’s body before dissipating into a dazzling green aura. Through the energy, Ken’ichi’s smile could still be seen. “Ban-kai!”
(And there we have it, tune in next time to see the awesome power of the former 5th squad captain’s bankai, please review, would like to know peoples thoughts!) (ps must thank clouds_on_Cloth for his input, letting me know the full name of one of the kudou's :-) thanks)
