The Nueva Espada

Chapter 17:Sword Summit

The result of the clash of Jakuhō Raikōben and Lanza del Relámpago was an explosion that could be seen throughout the entire seireitei

The two attacks created a large of orb of fire, dyed with the green energy of Ulquiorra's Lanza del Relámpago, that was roughly 5000ft in circumference, even though the battle and the blast was in the air, the explosion practically vaporised the ground below them, leaving a enormous crater in the ground underneath them.

A whole fifth of the seireitei was vaporised, destroying the Squad 2, 3, 4 and 5 Barracks, and killing countless soldiers.

The two combatants were, needlessly to say, sent flying.

When the two attacks collided, they were sent gliding through the air from the from the beginning of the collision, before the shockwave of the blast kicked in, sending them flying back. literately miles away

The pressure was so great that Ulquiorra had trouble righting himself until he managed to stop, just feet away from one of the walls of the Seireitei, the attack had literately blasted him across the Seireitei.

Knowing that his battle had taken place roughly in the centre of the seireitei. he could only guess that the captain he was facing was sent to the other side of the Seireitei, and unlike him, she didn't have wings that could slow her fall nor did she have High Speed Regeneration which he quickly used to take care of the burns of his arms and his chest.

Ulquiorra could only assume that the Captain was either vaporised in the blast or sent flying into the walls of the seireitei

Either way, His battle with the captain was as good as done, He quickly sense a nearby reiatsu begin to fall, he wasted no time in rushing to the scene

On the highest tower of the seireitei, a man overlooked the surrounding chaos

He had been unfazed by the massive explosion that had destroyed a good part of the seireitei

The surrounding war only meant only one thing for him…

Kenpachi Zaraki was looking for a fight

"Which one's the strongest?" The Sinister captain smiled "Hmph…he's already fighting right now…and so is Ichigo"

"What about that one Ken-chan?" the little girl on his shoulder asked, referring to the nearest source of Reiatsu "He's pretty close, and he's strong too"

"Come to think of it…he might just be a good opponent" Kenpachi smiled before he rushed off "I don't recognise his reiatsu, he isn't the one I fought in Hueco Mundo…but he should be fun"

"I'm coming for you Espada, and you better put up a fight!"

The Noveno Nueva Espada collapsed to his knees, panting heavily as he dropped to his knees

He had lost

"You beat me…Niño" the spanish accented arrancar chuckled to man who had defeated him

"Where's Ichigo?" he asked casually "Is he here with you?"

"Why should I tell you?" Dordonii asked with a slight laugh

"You'll die if you don't" he stated calmly

"And I'll die if I do" he smirked "I'm a Nueva Espada, I serve my lord 'till the very end"

"Then you'll die a fool" he muttered quietly as he brought back his blade

"I'm sorry…Niño…Kurosaki-sama" were Dordonii's last words before his head was cleaved off his shoulders

His killer watched as the head of the Arrancar rolled off it's shoulders and hit the ground with a mild *Thud*, he wiped the blood off his blade as the Arrancars body dissolved until there was nothing left
