Chapter 24- Battle of The Beasts
Ikkaku was fighting a big arrancar with dark red hair and his hollow mask fragments on his head to form two horns that stuck out of his head. The arrancar’s zanpakuto was a standard katana with a green hilt and diamond-shaped guard. They were fighting outside of Las Noches.
Ikkaku: Is that all you’ve got?! *attacks*
???: You’re too strong! >_<
Ikkaku: Hey, come on…I was still holding back. :| Is that really all you Espada can do?
???: Well, I’m not the melee type.
Ikkaku flash stepped toward the Espada and struck him with his zanpakuto sheathe and blade from both sides. The Espada blocked his attack with his own sword and arm. Ikkaku attacked recklessly but extremely quickly and soon managed to cut the Espada across the chest with his sword. The Espada jumped back and his wound quickly closed up.
???:
I don’t like this…please don’t fight me…if you do I’ll be forced to kill you. please go away T_T
Ikkaku: What the hell is with this guy 0_o? Hey, punk, I’m going to kick your damned hollow ass in a second if you don’t get it together!
???: I told you to leave. You didn’t listen…why? Why? WHY?! WHY?!?!?!?!
The Espada’s body bulged and he became a hulking behemoth, easily over 14 feet tall. His hair extended to waist length and when he stomped on the ground, it cracked and formed a small depressing. The now huge Espada looked down at Ikkaku and smiled. He held his palm in front of him and on it suddenly appeared the number “8”.
Ikkaku: What the hell are you?
???: Heh. I warned you. What you saw just now was my suppressed form. This is my true form. I may seem weak at first, but after my opponent refuses to leave, I see that he has the will to battle and I let loose my real form. So, you ask what I am, eh? Octova Espada, Simon Marechini. *smirks*
Ikkaku: 8th Espada? *smiles* That’s better. That’s the kind of warrior I want to fight. Not some wimpy kid! Now, Espada, come!
Simon charged at Ikkaku and punched him with his right fist, pushing Ikkaku well into one of the pillars that led the path to Las Noches. The pillar crumbled on top of Ikkaku and kicked up a whole bunch of sand and dust. Ikkaku got up quickly and jumped out of all the rubble to quickly attack Simon. He hit Simon with his sheathe and then with his zanpakuto, spinning it around and turning it whenever Simon blocked it to deliver multiple attacks in one strike. Simon grabbed Ikkaku with his hand and threw him up into the air. Ikkaku went flying but began to air walk by solidifying the Reishi particles in the air of Hueco Mundo. Ikkaku held his sword horizontally to his side and then he thrust it at Simon, with the point aimed for Simon’s face. The sword cut through the air and just as Simon was about to grab the sword, Ikkaku said…
Ikkaku: Grow, Houzukimaru!
The zanpakuto turned into a very long double-edged spear that was surrounded by a whirlwind of great reiatsu, giving it more cutting force. The spear ripped right through Simon’s hand and continued toward his face.
Ikkaku: Split and Coil, Houzukimaru!
Houzukimaru split into three parts suddenly that coiled around Simon’s neck and made several cuts on the Espada’s neck as it grabbed onto it.
Ikkaku: Now Crush Him, Houzukimaru!
Simon: Cut that shit out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simon released his spiritual pressure and ripped Houzukimaru off of his neck, throwing it back at Ikkaku crushed. He unsheathed his zanpakuto and pointed his horns at Ikkaku. Suddenly a dark green cero formed at the tip of both horns and fired at Ikkaku. Ikkaku flash stepped out of the way and avoided the cero.
Ikkaku: Not bad, not bad at all. Now I can stop holding back. Bankai!!!
Simon: Hmph. Amazing. A Captain’s Bankai. I suppose I should do the same! Sing, Cabra (Goat)!
An explosion of reiatsu between the two fighters clashed and made the sand and dust spiral around them both in one huge whirlwind that extended for a tenth of a mile. As the dust and smoke cleared around Simon, he was wielding a huge new set of horns and a giant zanpakuto that was shaped like a tree branch. Next to his sheathe was a pair of panpipes. His upper body was that of a man’s, but his lower body was that of a goat’s. As the smoke cleared around Ikkaku, he was wielding three over-sized weapons connected by an equally large chain. Ikkaku's two main weapons were Chinese Monks’ spades and a standard Guan dao. Both had a traditional horsehair tassel at the hilt and a long cylindrical weight for a pommel. The pommels were connected by a heavy chain to the center section, which resembled an axe-like blade with a parallel handle forged into the blunt end and a dragon crest on one side of the blade. Despite all three weapons being of near-ridiculous proportions, Ikkaku wielded them very easily and with little effort. Ikkaku held one blade in each hand and let the central portion float behind him.
Ikkaku: Ryūmon Hōzukimaru. Unfortunately for you Sangre, I have to end your life quickly!
Simon: You think so, eh? *takes out panpipes* Prepare yourself. Song of Death!
Simon played a tune that shook the ground and began to make Ikkaku cough and panic. Ikkaku coughed up blood and fell to the ground face-first. Simon walked over to Ikkaku with his giant sword and pointed it down at Ikkaku. Simon forced his sword down on Ikkaku and it collided with Ikkaku’s left sword. Simon looked surprised that Ikkaku was still able to move. Ikkaku pushed up and sliced through Simon’s sword easily, continuing toward him to his entire right arm off from the shoulder.
Simon: ARGH!!! Damn!! What the hell is this?!?!?!
Ikkaku: I didn’t tell you my name…you know its common courtesy to tell your opponent the name of their killer. 11th Division Captain and the 13th Kenpachi…Ikkaku Madarame. *points both blades of Ryūmon Hōzukimaru at Simon* and I’m your killer, Espada.
Simon: What? How are you alive?
Ikkaku: I only get stronger when my opponent hurts me in my Bankai. Now…die! Ryuukokyuu…!
Ikkaku’s blades all began to glow red and they merged together to form one huge blade that looked like a giant crest. Ikkaku pointed the blade of crest at Simon a huge vertical blast of red reiatsu shot out at Simon before the Espada could even move, cutting him in half. Ikkaku looked at the Dragon’s Crest on his sword. It wasn’t even close to full,only being a little less than halfway full.
Ikkaku: Sorry, Sangre…looks like my full power would’ve been too great for you. *seals zanpakuto* Not even worth my time >:}
