Chapter 21- Unforgiveable
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. ~Mahatma Gandhi
The captains split up once they entered Las Noches. Each one went their own way, but little did they know that the Espada were each seeking out their own opponents to fight. Soon, every captain came across their own opponents. Izuru ran with Carlie. They came across a Sangre with black hair, a small mustache, and a short beard. His outfit was very colorful and shaped like that of a 17th century outfit. His sword was in its sheathe on his left. Izuru took out his sword, but Carlie stayed calm.
Carlie: Calm down Izuru. We’ll be fine. After all, there’s two of us captains. The Espada won’t be able to stand up to that power.
Izuru: Yeah. Sorry, I shouldn’t have overreacted.
???: Hmm? Quien Estan?
Izuru: What’d he say?
Carlie: It was Spanish. He asked “who are [we]?”.
Izuru: You know Spanish?! O_O
Carlie: Yeah…Me llamo Carlie. Se llamo Kira Izuru…ella esta…
???: So, you speak Spanish. An admirer of the language, I see. Good to know that people still care.
Carlie: So you can understand us.
???: Very well actually. Unfortunately, I have to take your lives now. Allow to me to introduce myself. I am the Septima Espada *reveals tattoo on right shoulder*, Fresco Berenos.
Izuru: Nice to meet you, Sangre. But we’ll be the ones taking your life today.
Fresco: Tu es Loco Chico. Show me what you’ve got then!
Izuru unsheathed his zanpakuto and released it.
Izuru: Raise your Head, Wabisuke!!
Izuru’s sword changed into an odd-shaped blade with a square head that was curved in the form of a hook.
Fresco: Hmm…that’s a weird sword, chico. What does it do?
Izuru: Why don’t you come and find out.
Fresco: That’s a bad move, chico. Let’s see…*unsheathes zanpakuto*
Fresco attacked Izuru from the side with a sonido preceding his assult and he knocked Izuru into the wall. Fresco struck Izuru with his zanpakuto, but Izuru blocked with Wabisuke. Next, Izuru followed through with the attack and struck Fresco’s zanpakuto three times. Fresco jumped back and thought.
Fresco: (He had an open attack. Why did he go for my zanpakuto instead when he could’ve just struck me point-blank. That means his shikai’s ability must be something that affects my zanpakuto, and not a projectile-based or kido-based one. Wait a minute…my zanpakuto is heavier…)
Izuru: So, you’ve noticed haven’t you? You’re really smart
Wabisuke’s ability is to double the weight of whatever it strikes. So I hit you sword 3 times. How much did it weigh before?
Fresco: 2 pounds. So…my sword now weighs 16 pounds, eh? That’s dangerous, chico. (Luckily, I can wield anything as long as its under 100 pounds). *smirks* But, what can a sword like that cut?
Fresco sonidod behind Izuru and was about to strike him with his sword, but Izuru’s elbow met Fresco’s gut and knocked him back. Izuru charged at Fresco as Fresco moved backward. Fresco had his arms outstretched to his sides, so Izuru took advantage of that by stretching out the hook end of Wabisuke to lock around the back of Fresco’s arm, and he pulled, taking the arm with him.
Izuru: Hadou 33: Soukatsui!
A powerful shot of blue fire blasted toward Fresco and exploded when it hit him. He brushed off the dust and debris that fell on him from the damaged surroundings and remained calm. As he charged at Izuru, he was stopped by Carlie’s voice.
Carlie: Freeze the World, Yuukihime!
Carlie grabbed her scythe-zanpakuto and slashed at Fresco with amazing and graceful speed and skill and even managed to cut him a few times. Fresco blocked her other slashes with his zanpakuto while he held off Izuru as well. By now, his sword weighed 32 pounds and when he swung it at Carlie’s scythe, it pushed her back.
Carlie: Izuru! Hold off on the slashes for a second.
Izuru: Sorry, senpai.
Carlie was able to overpower Fresco with some effort and she managed to wound him with a few ice shards and ice blasts. Kira watched the battle. Everytime Carlie’s blade struck Fresco’s, a burst of ice shot out and froze the ground. The force of the two fighters was incredible. Fresco finally overpowered Carlie and pushed her back long enough to charge a cero in his hands after forming a circle with them.
Fresco: Artistic Sangre Cero!
A powerful, colorful cero full of lightning and energy shot out at Izuru and it had an incredibly wide range! Izuru focused all of his reiatsu into Wabisuke and tried to block the cero but it was too much. Izuru was blasted into the wall and sustained serious injuries. He slowly got out of the rubble and broken parts of the wall and solidified the Reishi particles in the air to “fly”.
Fresco: This is pathetic. I’m going to end this quickly. *holds zanpakuto in front horizontally*
Carlie: Izuru, move out of the way so I can handle this!
Izuru: NO! Carlie, please, let me do this on my own! *holds zanpakuto in front*
Fresco: Spread your feathers…
Fresco crushed his zanpakuto’s blade and the guard spurted out thousands of tiny feathers of reiatsu that began to surround his body in a spiral of wind and feathers. When the feathers calmed, they began to fall off of him and soon revealed Fresco in his Resurrecci?n form. He had a beak that opened up at the top of his head and his jaw now and colorful wings on his back and hands, but his facial appearance didn’t change much.
Fresco: Pavo!
Izuru: This is your Resurreccion?
Fresco: Yes, chico. Now prepare to die. I’ll kill you and finish off your fellow captain as well. Azul Luz…
Fresco opened his mouth and a blue light emerged from his throat and came out quickly, blinding Izuru and filling the battlefield with its brightness. Izuru couldn’t see anything in this blue light and suddenly a cut appeared on his arm, and then another cut appeared on his cheek, and finally one appeared on his chest. Blood gushed out of his wounds and poured onto the ground. The light cleared and Izuru fell to the ground, hitting it hard. Fresco walked over to Izuru and prepared another Azul Luz, but this time it was stronger. He released it and at that time, Izuru gripped his zanpakuto.
Izuru: Bankai………
Fresco flew back from the great amount of reiatsu that released when Izuru said that word. He had released his bankai and the smoke that surrounded him began to clear. When it cleared completely, Izuru was standing there, wearing a ragged and scruffy outfit. It looked rigid and torn, and it wasn’t by any means elegant. But the blade itself was elegant enough. Izuru’s zanpakuto looked like a standard Wabisuke with two of its blades attached to each other, facing opposite directions. The point where the two blades met had a sharp point sticking out of it. The entire sword glowed with a blue and brown aura of reiatsu that surrounded Kira as well.
Izuru: Yurusu Wabisuke (“Forgive the Apologizing One” or “Forgiveness of The Apologizing One”)
Fresco: Nice sword, chico. Tell me, what the hell can that cut?
Izuru struck Fresco’s wings three times each with incredible speed and he flash stepped back to a safe distance. Fresco’s wings smashed into the ground and pulled him down completely. He couldn’t even move.
Izuru: Yurusu Wabisuke’s ability has two choices. Depending on the target of attack, it can either cube the weight of whatever it strikes, or multiply the weight ten to a hundred fold. I struck each of your wings three times. I hope, for your sake, that you can carry up to 100,000 lbs of weight. Otherwise, this is the end.
Fresco: Wait! *charges cero*
Izuru: It’s no use. It’s too late. I’ve already set this attack into motion. This will be…your execution.
Izuru positioned the hook-end of Wabisuke under Fresco’s neck, but when he did, Wabisuke disappeared and a huge guillotine appeared out of the Reishi particles that Wabisuke disappeared into. Fresco’s head was already through the guillotine’s stocks.
Izuru: Setsudanki…U_U
The Blade came slicing downward on Fresco’s neck and sliced it clear off like it was nothing. As Fresco’s head fell, his body began to deteriorate and when his head hit the ground, it created a crater that extended with a 4 meter diameter.
Izuru: Looks like you made the bad move after all, chico. U_U
