Arc 2: Canon 18: Annihilation [Complete]

[Yuki Ayumu]

Yuki Ayumu watched Sombra Escudo releasing his final level of power. It was magnificent. That was something she could easily agree on. She watched the slides that seemed to show the past lives of Sombra. They told many stories, all unique and it amazed her of such the brilliance of a unique. It looked amazing and she felt at awe watching it. Even the reiatsu that was given off through the release showed Ayumu that this wasn't going to be an easy fight. She had to use her final level of her special C-Weapon. Her Segunda Etapta wouldn't cut it... knowing it didn't even get her close to defeating him when he was only at 4/5 of his power. The female Arrancar felt a sliver of fear run down her spine. It was trembling experience, but it gave the female the incentive to win. The fear of dying was the motivation to win, the source of her arrogance and confidence, and it would be the most human emotion she had ever felt since becoming a Hollow.

"There are many things I dislike in this world, not many things that I'm interested or like, and right now, I can't tell if I really dislike you, or am interested in you," Ayumu said, with a smile that crept up on her face. This would be exciting, "["Kanojo no unmei ni hikari o gaido ni shishi o shiyou!" (Let the light guide the beast to her destiny!)," she let out in a strong, loud voice. She said this as he started to become like a caccoon and burns seem to cover her body. Her hierro deactivated as an odd occurence seem to happen. Ayumu seemed to have started to return to her sealed state. Her hair turned back to the purple waves with golden streaks. Her floral tattoos became stripes once again. Ayumu wore a white v-cut dress shirt that had their sleeves torn. She wore a white skirt that went down to her thighs and white boots that went up to her knees. She seemed to have returned to a differently dressed sealed state, except for one obvious difference. One her right arm there was a large armor-like gauntlet that extended from her hands all the way up to her shoulders. It was purple and in floral designs. There was a blue orb on the opposite side of her palms, another orb near her elbow and a third one around her shoulders. The floral designs were very intricate and even continued past her shoulders and near her head. One her left hand there was also a gauntlet, this one only reaching up to her wrists. There was a blue orb in that one also.

It seemed ironic watching this scenario, one's final form was very divine like and seemed to God-like, while the other's form seemed more simple and more human-like. "I'm not sure your form right now is very pleasing to God," Ayumu said, "I guess I must please the Lord by killing you and letting him judge you personally, once and for all so you will not live another life," she yelled out as she slammed her gauntlet towards the floor. A large shockwave of yellow light slammed out of her gauntlets. The single tree that stood before their battle started to chip away from the shockwave and some of its branches were torn off, yet the tree itself stood its ground. For miles all around them, there were no traces of darkness or shadow. There were many golden light balls that rose from where the shadows once were. The whole entire area all around them were filled with these golden balls of light.

"Kami no Ten no Seisho:Kô no Pesuto!" Ayumu yelled out, as a half dozen golden balls came near her and became an image of her. They stood there and in unison they moved. They all swung their hands, in a flash of yellow light a chain appeared in their hands. The chain was attached to a poled weapon, a two bladed scythe. It was only half of her Zanpakutou and the other half of the trident seemed to be missing. All at once, the Ayumus used Sonido and appeared surrounding the Escudo. They all took their own form and started to attack Sombra by swinging their chains ahead, attempting to decapitate, and/or severe any limbs of his. Meanwhile, the many golden balls that were afloat started to come closer to Sombra. They started to form large six feet swords in mid-air and started to home into Sombra, attempting to stab in. There were about a dozen swords and six Ayumu's attacking all at once, from different angles. With her upgrade in power, this made sure that her attacks would do a massive amount of damage with little escape.

When all of the versions of Yuki arrived to attack, and the orbs started to converge, it became clear that Sombra was already gone. Where he had been, a giant eruption of golden energy remained, a huge pillar. A column that extended to the Heavens, and obliterated all of the swords that came into contact with it. One hundred rings of golden energy suddenly surrounded the area where they were fighting, and it became apparent that something had gripped the back of Yuki's neck. All of them. This all happened faster than the blink of an eye, resulting in it becoming unavoidable to Yuki, that she would inevitably be thrown away.

In this way, the excess versions of Yuki, those who were not original, were suddenly obliterated by explosions of light, while the last Yuki was left alone, not even a hand put on her. As all of the light and energy from Sombra faded, it became apparent that he was several meters away from Yuki. He should not have been that much faster than she was. And yet he had held over a hundred times her speed. Why? How? Then, it became evident from the steaming of his palms. Cero. All of that mass amount of energy, the golden rings, the huge column, had merely been Sombra moving himself by virtue of Cero. He'd used Cero and Bala, or other variations, to propel himself here and there. His attacks had been so powerful that they'd given him speed a hundred times that of Yuki.

In its own way, it was a grand fighting style. But, it said something to Yuki. Sombra knew how to use his power. That was it. Yuki wasn't fighting on the same level as Sombra. She wasn't fighting in the same way as he did. She'd attained Tercera Etapa because of The Baker. He'd told her that she might even feel God-like. She was fighting like a mortal, like a regular Arrancar would. Yuki should be attacking and defending like a God would. With a grand display of her abilities, by utilizing her powers in ways that mere mortals would not imagine, would never comprehend. Sombra was doing it, and he'd destroyed Yuki's doppelgangers. The only way for Yuki to win against Sombra was to follow suit.

[Yuki Ayumu]

Golden balls of light seemed to be a non-stop production. Ayumu was standing there looking at Sombra, he had easily stopped her technique and attack. That shouldn't have happened, it was then she noticed it. He was using his techniques as movements, which didn't make much sense to her. She didn't understand how he was moving about so quickly even if he was using a cero or bala to move. Yuki was in a serious state as she felt time passing by. Time was key to this battle, she needed to defeat him before time was up. She intended on doing so. There was no more fooling around for her, she was in Tercera Etapta and she was going to take this fight with full concentration. " Kami no Ten no Seisho: Seichi!" she yelled out, as she raised a hand into the air. This caused a rapid production of the golden balls of light. They started to be placed in random places.

The ground started to light up and a yellow, golden color covered surface of the white desert. Golden buildings started to rise all over the place, in the outskirts skyscrapers too large and bright to make out started to rise. Ayumu raised into the air and landed on one of the normally elevated buildings. There were many golden balls of light that floated in the Holy City. A golden ball of light started to gather in the sky with other golden balls of light. There seemed to be an endless amount of them. Once the balls came together, they formed a large needle like shape. It looked like a 2 feet long, 6 inch wide yellow senbon needle. It disappeared. It moved at such a fast speed, it seemed it disappeared in half a second. Then there it was, shot down towards Sombra Escudo. The senbon would pierce Sombra, then would shatter into pieces entering his body and destroying it from the inside out. While this was happening, the golden balls of light in the city started to raise into the air. Then the ones that raised into the air were replaced by brand new golden balls.

The golden balls of light in the air seemed to be still for a moment before shooting towards the ground. There were random explosions all over the Holy City, and Sombra would see golden balls of light surrounding him. Whether the senbon needle pierced through the Escudo or not, the golden balls were all around him regardless. "Sombra Escudo, you will die today," she simply said, pulling her right arm back. The purple gauntlet seemed to shine brighter in the Holy City as a lot of light reflected against each other. There were golden balls that constantly surrounded Sombra, the thing was they weren't his orbs they were Yuki's. The golden balls kept surrounding Sombra and followed him. They started to light up threatening to blind Sombra.

[Zou ۞]

Sombra's hard skin resisted the senbon, and his hands flew up, releasing Bala into it as it tried to pierce him. A massive, golden aura explosion released all around Sombra. The converging orbs were obliterated completely, useless against Sombra's giant attack. When everything cleared, it became apparent that several external burns were visible on Sombra. He'd taken some internal damage, but he did not look worried. He flicked his hand casually, and something could be heard. A low, silent screech. Yuki probably didn't realize it, but Sombra's internal injuries had healed. "My healing expertise in this form is God-like." Sombra said. "I understand how to heal my internal injuries by controlling the forces of mother nature, all around me." So that was it. Internal damage wouldn't cut it. Yuki not only had to win this with external damage only, but she still had to fight Sombra's massive power.

"You assumed that you could defeat me in a single attack." Sombra said. He was gone already. "That was a foolish mistake." He was using the Cero Oscuras, which was already so great in power compared to a regular Cero, that it could devastate any Arrancar that wasn't an Espada, or in this case an Espada or Escudo. But, he was using it with his God-like form, which meant that it was already far stronger than believed. A gigantic ocean of black and gold reiatsu materialized around the area for an instant only. That was his Cero Oscuras. An ocean that covered all of Hueco Mundo for a split second only. In that process, Yuki's buildings started to crack and shatter. Some came crashing down. She'd have to renew them. The aura she'd coated the white desert with couldn't stand up to the Cero Oscuras. She'd have to repair that too. Sombra however, already had Yuki by the face.

And he'd already dragged her across the ground. One of his other hands had already slashed across her chest, carving through anything armoring, and drawing out a large splash of blood. And with that, he'd backed off. He was fast when he moved himself with those attacks. When he used Cero to propel himself in that god-like fashion, he was ridiculously powerful. Made more so by having so many arms. He was able to use multiples to do it, and still have two or three to attack with. It was impressive, and terrifying. "You can't end this in a single attack." Sombra said. "The difference in our power does not permit it. If you want to defeat me, you will have to strike me numerous times. If you want to defeat me in one attack, you will have to utilize whatever final attack you may have."

[Yuki Ayumu]

Sombra's powers were far superior that was obvious, but her powers were not that much weaker. He was also had a very arrogant perspective thinking that Ayumu was trying to destroy him in one hit. She wasn't thinking anything to that and he simply downplayed her tenacity. Instantly in her hands a cero formed to match his Cero Oscuras. It was a massive amount of reiatsu and it fired just before Sombra's was fired towards her city. "Cero Garandou!" she said boldly as a large black wave of terror ripped through the sky meeting the other black cero, causing a massive implosion then explosion. Ayumu wasn't going to stop until she couldn't move. The two ceros made a huge explosion, but Yuki's Holy City simply started to repair itself by the constant production of the golden lights. As pieces shattered and withered off the buildings, the golden balls filled in the missing pieces.

Ayumu was expecting a physical attack, she knew it with her God-like instincts. That was why her Holy City was still up and was constantly being repaired. Sombra's hand would be nothing, but as if air was passing by her. "Watch closely," she said, as the golden orbs around her exploded in flashes. The explosions were nothing but like flash bangs going off. Except they didn't faze Yuki, they would only faze Sombra. In Kami no Ten no Seisho: Seichi, physical attacks wouldn't work and would simply pass through one. Ayumu would use this to utilize a devastating attack. Golden balls of light surrounded the male Arrancar and started to form a cube instantly. It started to outline him as he moved blindly. Ayumu instantly used Sonido to follow him instantly a barrage of golden arrows threatening to rip through Sombra as she came closer. Ayumu came closer, and her blinding technique only last couple seconds, about four. It would probably last only half the full duration to someone of Sombra's strength. This only motivated her to attack faster.

The outline of a cube became a transparent golden cube suddenly. Chains ripped out of the inside walls of the cube, there was one for each limb his legs and arms. Another golden chain would rip out from the back wall of the cube to grab a choke on Sombra as a final tenth chain wrapped around his torso. Sombra would notice one main thing, reiatsu couldn't be exerted. It was like turning the switches off a light, as long as the switches were off the light wouldn't be able to shine. Every arm of Sombra's was wrapped with the golden chain preventing any reiatsu strength to break free from it, same with his legs, body and head. This was when he was unblinded and the arrows would pierce right through him starting to stop the channeling of reiatsu instantly. This would stop his healing process from all the damages he would receive. This would stop him from being able to break free at all. " Kami no Ten no Seisho: Zai no Maisô - God's Heavenly Testament: Burial of Sins!" she simply said, as a cero charged in her hands. The golden balls of light started to form various weapons around her, it seemed like rain of golden weapons. "Ken," she said as the golden balls materialized. There were spears, swords (of all kind ranging from katanas to claymores), arrows, daggers, knives, scythes, spikes, and any other imaginable weapons. They all rained down upon Sombra cutting off reiatsu from channeling and ripping him to shreds.

Ayumu wasn't content with the attack, "Sutoraiku," she simply said and more weapons formed raining down upon Sombra. This would shove the cub down into the ground, digging a grave. Ayumu used a Sonido instantly as the weapons rained down, she appeared above of Sombra. "Gran Rey Cero!" she said, as a huge yellow cero shot out towards the cube. By now the cube would look like a magician's sword trickery box with blades running through all throughout it. The cero approached giving no comfort to Sombra. Another cero charged in her hands, "Cero Oscuras" Ayumu said and this time a black Cero ripped from her hands. The black contrasted the golden city vastly and created a blissful scene. There would be a huge wave of black reiatsu, as golden weapons converged into the cero trying to reach Sombra. "Denunciar!" Ayumu's thousands of golden balls of light instantly turned into a weapon and crashed down into Sombra sending him hundreds of meters into the ground. A huge explosion occurred and the earth above the cube buried Sombra. Ayumu stood in mid-air the golden balls of light materializing around her once again as the city repaired itself in the sheer immense of power.

[Zou ۞]

Sombra, despite everything, aimed out an attack while Yuki was aiming out hers. While aiming hers, while focusing such God-like power on him, she could do nothing as his attack hit her. An enormous spear that struck Yuki dead on in the chest, made of light, or something that looked like light. It screeched and glowed, blinding Yuki and cutting off her reiatsu after all of the attacks had hit Sombra. Her Tercera Etapa was forced to shatter, gone in an instant as her entire body was consumed in immobility. In reality, Sombra hadn't had a way to counter her attacks. The only thing he could do was hit her at the same time.

And the attack exploded, covering Yuki in fourth degree or worse burns, all across her body, making it so that not only could she not move, but she wouldn't be able to stand. And, when the smoke cleared, there he was. Sombra Escudo. Normal in height and weight and all that. Normal in arm amount. Holding his sealed zanpakuto. Covered in burns and whatnot, same wound pattern as Yuki, though possibly worse. However, he was, unlike Yuki, able to stumble. He stumbled towards her, smiling all the while. "God...is on my side..." He murmured as he approached. Yuki couldn't move or draw any reiatsu. Everything she could think of was useless. Sombra was getting closer.

It looked like he might win, after all. "God...is on my side..." He murmured again, getting closer and closer to Yuki. His eyes were crazed as at last, he got to Yuki, and raised his blade up high for the finishing blow. He brought it crashing down on Yuki's neck, trying to sever her head completely. His blade snapped against her neck with a crack, and the blade that hit her neck cut slightly, but only a light cut, like ten paper cuts. Blood dripped out, but the blade snapped in half, leaving only half on the hilt. And then, both halves of the blade dissolved, crumbling away to leave only a hilt. Sombra looked down at his hilt.

He did not seem perturbed at all. His body started cracking, and began crumbling away into the wind as well. He was finished, then. He'd injured Yuki, and basically she would have lost if he'd been even 1% less injured. But, he'd hit his limit. While his body was crumbling, he smiled coldly. "God...is on my side...God...will return me to this world. We will meet again, and I will win..." His whole body crumbled away in an instant, vanishing as dust on the wind. He'd insisted on God being on his side until the very end. Who knew? Maybe God really was on his side. Or at least some deity. It was always uncertain in Soul Society.

Winner: Yuki Ayumu
