By day three, the ocean was frozen for miles, and an enormous castle of ice bigger than any recorded before had appeared miles outwards. To the North of the land, the huge Ogatago army of White Guardians marched to the South, from which the most massive Shinigami army ever formed marches as well.

The two armies have already met and done battle multiple times. After all five days, huge craters were left in the ground, and the wasteland was truly black and lifeless. Forces from Las Noches appeared on Day 4, and forces from both Xcution and Redemption on Day 5. All have converged into another, single large battle. However, by the very end of day 5, the vast majority of the forces were forced to retreat.

But now, as this horrifying conflict draws near an end, the Game Master himself has appeared in a random place in the wasteland. His reiatsu can be sensed from anywhere.

[Zieg Revolver]

Chaos, utter chaos and destruction, that is what had ensued the past 5 days in the state of California. Within such a short time, the spiritual armies had made the state a no man's land and the newly appoint captain of the 5th division had been apart of it, wasting no time to display his place in the squad. Having accepted the position upon self discovery of the talents he possessed being sole suited really for the 5th division, Zieg led a company of his unseated members as the ranged artillery of the shinigami. Eventually, they had dug themselves in and had spread themselves widely across the battlefield to cover the area, firing a massive quantity of kidous and grouping the magical zanpakuto users together to fight in unity. It had been one of the most destructive, bloodsheds, Zieg had ever seen in his spiritual lifetime. Zieg understood that any human lives that were lost would be restored, guaranteed by Death-Sama, but it was still a shocking display of what hell on earth this war was bringing to the human world. All this death, all this bloodshed, all this destruction, and they had only made partial progress of ending the war.

All this though, was not what was troubling Zieg the most in his mind as he stood besides Enma, no, what troubled him was the fact that the Game Master was suddenly calling for peace. Now, of course Zieg did not trust the Game Master in the slightest amount and with the fact that Zieg had discovered that the Game Master had been converting spirits of undead shinigami into his Guardians made him feel like this was a trap. To Zieg's knowledge, they had not halted the process of the creation of the Guardians, meaning that the bigger names of undead shinigami were no doubt being put into certain Guardians but he had yet to hear word of one showing up. With all this going on, what was the Game Master doing calling for a stay of arms and to reveal something to the shinigami and other armies? Was this simply a trap or was there now a threat that was beyond the Game Master that it concerned him to reveal it to the others.

"This doesn't feel right, Commander-sama, Hades-sama. Such a will to cause death and destruction but then to call for peace to display something that we are unaware of? What if this is trap?" Zieg asked them lowly as they advanced towards the signature the Game Master was giving off. Indeed, ever since their encounter, Zieg had stuck with calling Enma Hades. It only seemed fitting to the strongest of the captains to have such a nickname and Zieg didn't know his real name anyway. A trap was the most obvious idea and no doubt this would be stated somehow if either shinigami answered him. He really just wanted their opinion on the matter and he already assumed that they were ready if this was indeed some kind of trap that the Game Master had laid. The three of them were not going to go down that easily. Afterall, Enma and the captain commander were the two strongest shinigami of the Gotei 13 and Zieg was not going to be a push over, not in this fight. Enma was really the only captain to see what Zieg was partially capable of and now Zieg returned back to his roots, back to using kidou. In the back of Zieg's mind, he even wanted to ask Enma to train him in the use of the magic of shinigami, for he literally seemed to be a sorcerer to Zieg. However, that was for another time.

[Zou ۞]

A chuckle resounded as the one known as the Game Master presented himself. All had already arrived, and the Game Master was the last one to do so. He was by far the most intimidating one present. His height was something of an impressive stature, and so of course was his mouth. His huge, enormous grin with the perfectly straight white teeth was daunting. His eyes were overshadowed by the darkness cast by his white top hat, made to match his white cane, white tuxedo with black rose in front pocket, and white dress shoes. However, if he tilted his head up a bit, one would be able to see black sunglasses on his eyes, tinted completely. He had a gaunt face, pale as a ghost, and his grin never faded or changed positions even once, except to vibrate slightly when he chuckled.

Arriving simply by method of materialization, the Game Master was there standing in face against all those of such great power who as well had arrived. He had called them supposedly for peace, but what he really did with that peace remained to be seen. At last, however, after some silence, as no one else began talking, he responded to what Zieg said. "I came for peace, believe it or not." he said openly to all of those of such immense power that had arrived to face him. "But it is not the ceasefire which you may have envisioned when you received my request of a peace. I request not armistice or peaceful negotiation, but unconditional surrender. I expect all of you to surrender unconditionally to me today. And I want each of you to state your honest opinion, even if the decision makers will disagree. The weakest of you will tell me, and the strongest will tell me. Whether or not you surrender, I mean."

He spoke tacitly, and his grin never trailed off. However, what he was doing was something which they would soon understand. They had seen those mechanical "White Guardians" which were used. And they had learned that the origin was spirits of deceased Shinigami. The reiatsu too. All Shinigami that had died within the last few centuries had been harnessed, and implanted in those mechanical warriors to form the Game Master's army. However, a larger shock had yet to come. "Surely, you know of my White Guardian Army." the Game Master said. "I will not ask you to surrender without first knowing what you are up against. In total, I have 30,000 warriors at present. If you will still fight me knowing that, all of you should tell me now. After that, I will show you one last thing, after which I desire your final decision."

As consensus moved back and forth, general agreement was "no" to surrender. In fact, this was unanimous. Not a single person that had arrived at that point was willing to surrender. And so Zieg was left to his decision as well.

[Zieg Revolver]

"No." Zieg stated right after his superiors, keeping his attention towards him and even took a step forward suddenly. It was the slightest but it was still notable as he began to speak. "This revelation, I am to assume it is to do with the bodies and souls of the dead that Satsujun had presented to you in exchange for Hougyoku. Yes I am aware of them but perhaps you already knew of that as well. It is doubtful you are unaware of the discovery of your fuel source, what you are using to power these wretched beings you call Guardians. What gives you the right to tamper with those who have passed beyond our sight? Surely you can't justify what you have done to attain an army has a righteous act. Have you no moral consciousness for the resting dead?" Zieg spoke out against the game master angrily, it quite obvious that the newly promoted captain was quite troubled by the "man" that stood before them. It was quite troubling to Zieg that the man showed no remorse for his actions, he seemed to have the mind set of Captain Sayuri but far worse for noone has been able to stop him yet. Worse though, was that Satsujun had assisted the man in doing it.

"Seeing as you mention your White Guardians before you reveal what you have in store for as, I can only link common sense into what you have done. Ive been fearing it ever since I faced the Guardian that accompanied Satsujun when Captain Sayuri boldly faced again him. Have you finally extracted the essence and powers of the major players and completed your army?" Zieg questioned the tuxedo wearing mad man as he glared fiercely. Of course, when Zieg was talking about major players, he was speaking of the likes of Old Lightning, Azeru Cho, Kira Gosei, Saifullah, Maldaga Sasori, Saix Shinra. These were only several of the names that Zieg was aware the game master had in his possession. Although it was true that Zieg did not if there were more beyond the list he knew, the ones that he had knowledge of struck fear into his heart if they had been brought back from the dead and forced to fight against him and the other members of the Gotei 13. "It is but a guess, so you can surely prove me wrong... And I realize that we do not even have a name of pleasantry to call you besides, simply, a Bastard." Zieg threw in as well, still quite out of anger more then anything. He wasn't attempting to be cocky, he just hated the fact that this guy has caused so much damage, so much disrespect and so much death and they didn't even know his damn name!

[Zou ۞]

Blackness. This was the first thing to be seen as the Game Master stood and grinned. Blackness. It rose out of the ground in seeping wisps of smoke and fog, in tendrils of reiatsu and light. This very blackness that threatened to engulf hearts and souls, and endanger the world; This very darkness had come to prey upon them all. An evil, absolutely sickening aura began to crush down on all who were present. Even the strongest of those who were there began to show reactions to what was happening. Enma himself widened his eyes, and even the likes of Sonken Kouhai and Kyousou Ningen gasped in shock and horror. Sparks of some sort of black electricity were seen dancing in certain areas, indicating a massive spiritual pressure. It was like the whole world shook.

And then, they could be seen. Materializing from the utter blackness, they were all visible. There were many of them. Thirteen in total. They were all identical, and their armoring bodies gleamed in the sunlight. The glints made them seem somehow majestic. Identical to the White Guardians, these monstrosities had only two key differences. First, rather than green, the gems that made their "eyes" were a pristine silver. And, as opposed to the White Guardians, these demonic presences were smooth black. They were Black Guardians. The reiatsu that they gave off in aura was incredible. Some of it was even recognizable. One of them was Old Lightning, the 34th Captain Commander. Another was Saix Shinra, a powerful Squad 11 Captain.

"Yes, you are correct, Zieg Revolver." the Game Master cheerfully confirmed. "I have used the Hougyoku to extract the essence of these long dead men, these powerful warriors, and I have created the generals of my army." The names were engraved into the armor, from left to right. Mythik Suiraisu. Sokujin Akai. Ketsueki Nami. Kenshin Tarento. Hara Lucious. Kira Gosei. Haruko Tsuchin. Saifullah. Maldaga Sasori. Saix Shinra. Aryuu Juuken. Tamajosho Aryuusai. Azeru Cho. Some of the strongest names in history. Some were more questionable, but most were of daring, incredible power. Two of them were Captain Commanders. However, one more thing seemed to be the most absolute of the moment. "However..." the Game Master said, continuing on, "They are merely further support. They are not my ace in the hole."

A white butterfly suddenly drifted through the air, onto the Game Master's waiting finger. "A while ago, before this war began, a vicious hollow appeared in the human world. It had an innate power of absolute adaption. This hollow, my gift, was soon captured by Las Noches. Following, an arrow with instructions was found in Las Noches. Following this, under my bribe, the Central 46 sent Sozen Kuchiki to terminate Vizard Leader Zouma Santeku. The subsequent aggression in response from the Vizards led to crippling of three, and a later and inevitable death of two. Through my manipulations, this war began. The one who posed the greatest threat to me was destroyed early on, and everyone else was subsequently weakened through the missions that were undertaken. And Las Noches especially aided me, in making the hollow I provided them stronger."

The Game Master grinned. "I am motivated as a servant of Lucifer and as the demon Berith to bring about chaos and destruction to your worlds. And now...the fruit of my labor must be shown to you." His hand lashed out, and the butterfly was suddenly crushed by it. And all of a sudden, blackness began seeping forth from that hand, which had crushed the white butterfly. Rising also from the depths from which the Black Guardians had come, so too came two more figures. With chains dangling from their wrists and ankles, and from their chests too, Sayu Mihai and Sosboro Geita of the Vizards began to rise. And, so too did one more. Human sized, and yet with feathers on one arm, fur on another, scales on one leg, and blubber on another, a white, beast-like figure formed. The mask was distorted, and looked like the skulls of dozens of creatures mashed together into the ugliest thing imaginable. The hole in its chest center was enormous, and the beast had a muscular body. It was a Hollow. That aura...was recognizable, and Kouhai confirmed it with his stare. It was the hollow that had been sent to Las Noches.

Flames, black in color, lit the air behind the Game Master, forming a single message. All the worlds are destined under my declaration to crumble. -Lucifer

"Behold..." the Game Master declared, as all of his newly summoned forces glared down the opposition that had arrived to stop his plan. "This is The Hell Message."

There was a pause, and then at last the final deal from the one known as the Game Master.

"Surrender, and submit yourselves to servitude to the forces of Hell. Or there will be damnation."

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg stood there as he watched the Game Master simply grin at him afterwards, there suddenly being a darkness that rose from the very earth itself. Zieg's eyes bugged out of his head as he saw this, stumbling and falling onto his backside from the shock as he gasped. He did not expect such a thing to occur, he couldn't have predicted that. The pressure and aura that he felt, the intensely was crushing upon him. He had to physically cross his arms over his head and hold it due to the feeling that was literally weighing down upon him. He could barley handle it but he forced himself to watch, to witness to coming forth of the generals. His mouth stood a gaped as he gasped, his arms and back shuddering with fear as the nightmares that he envisioned had come true. He knew it was no coincidence that there were thirteen of these Guardians, it made perfect sense to what they were. Their appearance surprised him but their existence did not. However, as he listened to the Game Master confirm but then state they were still only pawns and not the truest of threats. With this, Zieg uncrossed his arms and slammed them against the ground as he slowly forced himself to raise, while listening and watching the Game Master as he began to speak of his doings.

"The hollow..." Zieg murmured in his mind as he recalled a certain report. It was from Kurosaki, who had stated the Arrancars had gained possession of some kind of uncommonly powerful hollow. Zieg really hadn't taken to mind that this hollow would actually be the doing of the Game Master and the Arrancars have simply doomed themselves and the others by strengthing and keeping alive such a hellspawn. However, the biggest shock was the Game Master's revelation of having bribed the Central 46 to order Sozen to kill the former vizard leader Zouma! "No... Impossible... Commander...?" Zieg trembling asked the Strong Man, looking towards him and was further shocked to see the look on his face. Not even the captain commander had suspected a bribe to have accorded among the members of the 46!? How was it even possible that they had been bribed!? Zieg could not believe what he was hearing as the Game Master revealed the seeds of destruction that he had truly weaved. They had been puppeted by the Game Master to their doom!

After all this though, the final piece of work came forth from the crushing of the white butterfly from the Game Master. Zieg literally flinched from the action and from the blackness that spurted out, staring in horror as to what arose now. He barley even recognized the two vizards that were chained to the apparent vasto-lorde that bared down on them all. It was a horrendous sight, one that struck fear to the very core of Zieg. The Game Master had already spoke of him being a servant of Lucifer, and a demon named Berith, that in which brought an entire new aspect to the war. Afterwards, the Hell Message appeared, Zieg's eyes glistening with terror as he read it. Zieg really couldn't even comprehend what he was seeing and had heared. They were up against a denizen of Hell, against a hollow bred and fed to kill them all, against beings fueled by some of the strongest spiritual beings within their history and they only had two choices. To live and serve under Lucifer and Hell or to make a stand and fight against the swarming darkness that laid before them. Zieg couldn't just stand there now and say nothing to the decision, he knew what his decision was and was not going to be quiet about it when he shouted a single word. "NO!"

SPOILER: Click to show

"The beings, no, the heroes of both the spiritual world and Earth will put a stop to you. We would never serve under the banner of Hell, nor will we surrender to the likes of you, your master or any other wretched spawn of Hell!" Zieg roared at the tuxedo wearing man. "Does your master, does Lucifer, honestly believe that he will prevail when all is said and done, Smiles? What version, in both your and his mind, of this that Hell comes out ontop? Yes, maybe more and more of your army and beings of Hell will swarm our world and maybe it will be too much for us in the end but what then? There would be, nothing. Hell will rule, nothing, because if we cannot protect and save the worlds then you damn well better believe we will avenge them and will leave you with nothing but barren land to sit on your asses. You will not get a receive the single, most quietest, whimper of surrender from myself and I would like to see anyone present here that wouldn't agree with me." Zieg ranted on, his eyesight then beginning to sweep over all the beings that were not part of the Ogatago.

"No matter what your goals are, no matter what our differences, hero or villain, we all do have a common outcome and that outcome is to be. To be in a place of life and prosperity, to continue on this life and improve the worlds in our own ways. Even you cannot disagree that without a reason a being, there is nothing. Would you honestly settle for damnation rather then unite under a single banner to maintain the goals you seek in the end?" He shouted the question at Satsujun, throwing his arm out to the side as emphasis on it. Would the spirit prince believe he could defeat the Game Master solely or, would by some chance, actually comprehend the chances of fighting together? "Of course its foolish to offer an everlasting peace, it is impossible to do so. All I suggest is we fight side by side to live, to continue our never ending struggle against one another and not allow Hell to manipulate our actions any longer! Zieg furiously shouted out of pure instinct and adrenaline, it driving the fear he had back down into the pit of his stomach. They had faced impossible odds before, so why would they surrender to Hell?

[Zou ۞]

The Game Master grinned a grin so wide it was as if his face would split. "You talk as if you have seen and come to truly understand Hell." And then, just like that, he turned away from those whom he had come to meet. His aura grew even more merciless. He was so powerful...it unimaginable. And yet, were he truly the true form of the demon Berith, appearances would have been far different. There should be no doubts, the Game Master was nothing but a Shinigami whose body had been possessed by a demon. How this had happened was uncertain. Their enemy was safely in Hell, and only this puppet of him existed to torment them. And yet despite this, he was doing a very good job of it. Though, at that moment, he was beginning to walk away.

"Expect total and absolute destruction." the Game Master said. "And not even death will save you. When you die, Hell will still take you. Death and life both can lead only to existence within Hell." Enma was about to move to attack, when suddenly he was gone. He tried shifting in place, and simply vanished. And, one of the thirteen Black Guardians had also vanished. If memory served to order, the one that had been Old Lightning had vanished. Could it be it had been fast enough to take Enma and disappear with him? Could it be that Enma was then going to be forced to face off against the awesome powers of the Captain Commander, Old Lightning? What in that case would happen? Where had they gone to fight?

And then, suddenly, Sonken Kouhai attempted to move as well, and was also gone. Azeru Cho's Black Guardian had vanished. When Kyousou Ningen attempted to move, he was gone, as was Tamajosho Aryuusai, the 33rd Captain Commander's Black Guardian. Therefore, a few remained. Aijou Manako, whose eyes were dancing with bitter rage, seeing the man before her who was responsible truly for the death of her loved ones, and who was personally controlling the Vizards that were deceased. She launched outwards, heading with a roaring scream towards the Game Master. However, she was suddenly grabbed from both sides by Sosboro and Sayu, who disappeared with her. They'd left the party too.

"Find them." Satsujun said coldly, for he too stood there. He glanced at his ally, the masked one known as the Phantom Reaper. "Aid Aijou. We still need her." The Phantom Reaper nodded, and disappeared in an instant. This of course left only Satsujun, Kuroi Naito, Nikolaos Mansayev, and Death-Sama. And yet, there were others who could fight them too. In an instant, Kuroi was gone, along with the Black Guardian that had been Sokujin. Following this, Death-Sama vanished, along with the Black Guardian that had been Kenshin Tarento. Following, Nikolaos Mansayev vanished with the Black Guardians that had been Ketsueki Nami and Mythik Suiraisu. Then, Satsujun was gone with all of the others. All that remained were the mighty Hollow, the Game Master, and Zieg. And one more Black Guardian. Saix Shinra.

In an instant, Zieg would find himself in a forest area, isolated with the one that was the Black Guardian that represented Saix Shinra. It said nothing, for it was only a machine with the powers of Zieg's former Captain. It only stood there, observing him, waiting for him. It tracked his movements, and it stood there with its reiatsu pouring around it in gold and blue colors. The power that it boasted was indeed incredible. Whatever happened to Zieg next, surely things were about to get fairly complicated. This was not going to be an easy fight to win, and that was actually for certain.

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg gritted his teeth as the male turned his back towards him, stating that Zieg was basically assuming too much of what Hell was. Indeed, Zieg had never experienced or seen hell before, but that didn't mean he was going to like having someone's back turned towards him. "You..." Zieg growled as he took a hold of his zanpakuto's handle, preparing to charge at the back turned male. What halted him was the sudden disappearance to Enma, in which caught his eye as he looked at where he had been in shock, confused. "What...?" Zieg asked out loud as he was dumbfounded, seeing blinding fast movements move out of the corner of his eyes. He turned his head each time, just to see noone there when there was someone. One by one this happened, and soon, it was only him, the game master, the monstrous hollow and the Guardian labeled his former captain. Before he knew it, he too was seemingly teleported away from where he was, appearing in what seemed to be a forested area. He growled and glowered at the being that was before him, eying it up as he felt the presence he had been longing for such a time. "I doubt you can hear me... hell, I don't even know why I am going to say this, but if by some wild chance, Captain, I am sorry for not being able to save you from this fate..." Zieg stated sadly and lowly as he looked down at the ground for a moment, silencing filling the air. This seemed to be quite a hard moment for Zieg, having to go against practically the one man that he looked up to his entire shinigami life.

SPOILER: Click to show

"No... no, you are not my captain... you know what you are...?" Zieg suddenly stated coldly, as his eyes rolled up to look at the Guardian as he kept his head tilted down, glaring at it fiercely. It seemed something had just awakened inside of Zieg, a burning fury he had never felt before, a fury that was justified and not out of control. "You are a thing, a shell that is filled with a great man and a thing that has no idea the amount of hurt that is going to come towards it!" Zieg shouted as he lifted his head and raised both of his arms up into the air as his body was consumed by a roaring pillar of crimson red and aqua blue reiatsu, swirling around him drastically as it tore up the earth around him. That same reiatsu suddenly began shifting color, becoming a cloud white as it began lowering, condensing and forming around Zieg in the similar shape as the armor the Guardian had. The only difference was, two, thin, wing shapes formed from the back of it as it shined and pressed against Zieg. It was a remarkable sight, one that normally would catch the eye to the average being at least but the Guardian would probably just stare forth and await Zieg.

Suddenly, the white reiatsu changed color, shifting entirely into a dark, sea blue colored as it began to take a metallic form, becoming more and more metallic and armor like suddenly. Before the guardian would know it, the armor had fully take shaped, covering Zieg's body from the bottom of his neck to his feet, gauntlets, leggings and all. Everything about the armor was metallic, besides a circularly, sea blue, gem that was at the center of the armor, seemingly powering it. The wings spread apart as Zieg lowered his arms, a wrist cannon appearing out of slots under each arm as he closed his fists, taking a normal vertical guard with his arms. Both wrist canons would notably be charging, preparing to fire. The armor was not bulky, it seemed to be a second skin really on the fifth division captain. It was still armor of course, and it looked rather impressive. Of course, this would be the first time Zieg used this out on the field of battle, he had kept this technique secret for quite awhile now. Now, he finally had his chance to use it and to display the strength he possessed.

"In the name of Captain Saix Shinra, I will break my entire soul and body to defeat you! No matter what it takes!" Zieg furiously roared as his wings flapped once with tremendous strength, propelling him forward with rocket fast speed. At least, would have if he had not disappeared from sight from using a shunpo. A circular ring of wind exploded from where he was after the wing flap, causing the branches and leaves of the trees around them to dance wildly. He near instantly appeared above the guardian about ten feet, punching both fists down at it. As he did this, both of his wrist cannons fired downward onto the guardian, two rather large, condensed, blue balls of reiatsu soaring out of them. Each traveled at a stat speed of 500 and, upon impact of whatever, would erupt in a vicious explosion of reiatsu. Upon firing, Zieg instinctively made the wings flap back, having felt the recoil of the firing, using it to land back against a tree, looking to see if he had hit his target.

An echoing voice, a machine's, boomed from the Black Guardian, as if from a loud speaker. Initiate Phase 1: Saix Shinra Untapped. The voice was that of a man, whereas previously it was the voice of a woman with all of the White Guardians. This one was powerful, without a doubt. In an instant, it had taken off, disappearing to dodge Zieg's attacks. It was...fast! It was unimaginably fast compared to Zieg. It disappeared instantly in a single column of black light and fire. It had a similar "step" system to the White Guardians. This meant that it probably had similar attack systems to the White Guardians too. And, in fact, Zieg was soon to find this out for himself. The Black Guardian's disappearance was much faster than he was.

But, on top of this, the Black Guardian's reappearance out of that step was the more challenging part. As soon as it reappeared, he'd see four things. First, there were two enormous black metal blades extending from the wrists of the Black Guardian. Second, on the bottom wrist, since the blades were on the upper wrists, there were black cannons. Huge twin beams of reiatsu instantaneously fired out, columns of black heading directly towards Zieg. A sensor would be able to tell one thing, and this was that the concentration behind the beams was intense. Getting hit by those would not be wise. But they were quick beams, and did not extend for far too long when firing out against Zieg.

Instead, rather, the Black Guardian made it to the front of Zieg with another movement, appearing there and slashing with both blades in a huge, arcing slash. Wind exploded around Zieg, the sheer windpower pushing in on him to prevent his movement to dodge and escape. The speed was beyond his, and that physical strength was incredible. It was like gravity had increased, and was pressuring down onto him just from that single slash set. Both blades, if they hit, were going to sever his arms at the shoulders, and carve him into a turkey. It was strange. Perhaps he had never noticed it before. The power of Saix Shinra. His former Captain had been unimaginably strong, and now he was experiencing that for himself.

Meanwhile. . .

Enma stood there, facing off against his own Black Guardian. The one that had been labeled as Old Lightning. "You're just a shell." Enma noted. His eyes were sad as they gazed out at his enemy. His crushing aura and reiatsu were spilling outwards tremendously. "But if any part of the old man is in there, forgive me. When Zouma Santeku attacked, I was not there to aid you. And, I was never quite able to thank you for taking me in." The Black Guardian said nothing of course to Enma. Rather, its eyes lit up in a sort of glow, and it disappeared in a blur, moving towards Enma with incredible speed. Enma exhaled slowly as he saw it approaching him. That beast with the powers of a Captain Commander.

Enma's Zanpakuto blade was drawn in an instant, and it clashed with the two large black blades of the Black Guardian. He saw his Zanpakuto crack at two places, and he was blasted backwards by raw, physical power. Skidding back, Enma whirled as the Guardian continued approaching him, gliding with flames jetting from the boots. "Bakudo #61: Red Rikujokoro." Enma noted. In an instant, six red pillars of light enclosed over the Black Guardian, attempting to neutralize movement. It was heavily solid. Reiatsu began flaring around it however. Though it initially broke free, by the time it did so it was too late. Enma had made it close by, and had spoken incantation. "The Crest of Turbidity seeping out, An insolent vessel of madness, Boiling up, denying blinking, obstructing slumber, the princess who creeps, the mud doll; ever disintegrating, unite, oppose! Filling the Earth, know your own impotence! Hado #90: Kurohitsugi!" A black box materialized around the Black Guardian, huge, daunting. And then dozens of enormous black swords of reiatsu stabbed into the box. An explosion of reiatsu occurred, shattering the box. The Black Guardian's armor had a few scratches on it when unveiled, but nothing more. It slashed, and Enma blocked.

Zieg had a clear view of the Guardian's escape from his position, sneering as it disappeared in a column of fire. This was bad, the Guardian had quite the speed advantage on Zieg and he needed to prepare an attack now. As he sneered, two large shoulder cannons popped out from their appropriate positions on the armor, flaring with reiatsu along with his wrist cannons. The shoulder cannons had a much larger attack then the wrists but they took a few seconds to charge fully, so Zieg needed to wait that long. Luckily, in some sense, he had time to kill because he needed to avoid the Guardian's beam attack! Zieg did take into account the blades and cannons of the Guardian, noting them in his mind that it had them like the other Guardians. Seeing and reacting to it instantly, Zieg shunpo'd just in time to evade the piercing beams of the Guardian, which would utterly destroy the tree Zieg had had his back to just a moment ago. Having vanished from sight, the fifth division captain appeared about 15 yards away from his original position, facing the last known direction that the guardian was in. He couldn't afford to pause though, however, for he had experienced this before. Having fought the Guardians time and time again, he had learned that they preferred to use their movement technique to appear infront of or behind their target and slashed. Hence was why Zieg was already charging a attack and why he had his back to a tree, though that wasn't guaranteed to help him.

He knew just fast a Guardian could move at their movement speed and knew there was quite a difference between that and a shunpo. It was like a Sondio, so if it used it he knew the result would be instant. This was answered when it appeared infront of him, bingo. Indeed, Zieg was faster now then he had ever been, except in shunpo. However, the Guardian was faster still in the end. Zieg could not change that but he knew he had to retaliate, to use this in his advantage. Before long, the Guardian was right there, using another movement technique to be right infront of him, bringing its blades down upon him to slash off both of his arms. Zieg could feel he couldn't move, he recalled the strength of Saix was quite beyond anything he had ever seen. The man would accidentally put holes through the dojo that Zieg had set up with just playing around. What Saix was truly capable was something Zieg was both fortunate and unfortunate. Fortunate for he never was on the receiving end of Saix's colussal strength until now, unfortunate that he could only guess that Saix's strength had been tremendous and was not something to try and test against. He knew he couldn't allow himself to be slashed by the blades, that indeed would be the end for him. But how exactly was he going to do guard himself if he couldn't move a single muscle from the Black Guardian's attack?

This is where all four of the cannons would come into play.Seeing as he could not move, thanks to the tremendous power of the guardian, he had to rely on the cannons to be his form of attack. This was why he had charged them before he shunpo'd to avoid the beam attack. It was cutting it close but all four cannons would be charged as the guardian had appeared and was slashing downward at him, barley a split second. At this moment, it happened. All four cannons created a tremendous boom as a colussal beam of reiatsu literally exploded out of the cannons, it enveloping the guardian as well as blasting Zieg back with brutal force, sending him crashing back through tree after tree after tree. The beam was ungodly big, easily 50 percent larger then the ever famous kido hado number 88. The attack was literally point-blank range, and was moving at a stat speed of 800, there was no way to avoid it because of its sheer size plus the range was too close. It took down an enormous section of the forest on the guardian's side, but would the class 1 technique do enough damage? That remained to be unseen as the captain hauled himself up to a crouching position, panting more then gradually. His face was burning red, scorched and burned from his own attack, as well as bruised from what he had done. What would happen now?

A huge surge of reiatsu exploded forth from the slash of the Black Guardian, splitting apart the blast itself. It was a huge explosion of reiatsu that actually parted the blast, so that it flowed on either side of the Black Guardian. Despite Zieg's attack having great strength, it was still absolutely and utterly parted in the face of raw power. It was a mix of absolute lack of reiatsu control, and enormous spilling power. Furthermore, it was added onto in extreme release form by the physical strength possessed by this utter monster. Zieg was experiencing something he had forgotten that Saix had been famous for. Saix had such a massive, overflowing tangent of reiatsu, that he was able to release it in storms, unlike anyone else alive, save for Okusa Shogen.

Saix had been able to release it in huge bursts to part and destroy entire techniques if their reiatsu strength did not surpass his. Regardless of size, he had been able to make things bigger, with a flow of golden reiatsu. This was what Saix had been capable of doing. The monster that Saix Shinra had been had been captured in this Black Guardian, but also improved. Saix had used only one blade. This monstrosity used two. On top of that, Saix had not been able to control his reiatsu so well as to release it in a blast like those cannons. And yet, the cannons had added reiatsu to the attack, releasing it so that even more came out than when Saix Shinra himself had originally done it. The giant, explosive attack had been enough for the Black Guardian to repulse Zieg's strike.

The Black Guardian began marching towards Zieg after that, taking its time. If it had been Saix Shinra, the towering behemoth of his reiatsu would have been outflowing, even though Saix himself had been short. If it had been Saix, the laughter would have been heard as the monster approached. This was what it had been like for all of Saix's enemies in the past. They had faced this intimidation. They had faced a seemingly unbeatable monster that could repulse or withstand every single attack that they threw at him. And so, Zieg would feel this fear now. This intimidation. He was about to experience that which had made the legend of Saix Shinra. That was...his ultimate pain. And, with a single, descending strike of one of the blades, the Black Guardian sent a huge wave of gold reiatsu towards Zieg.

Meanwhile . . .

"Initiating Shikai Release: Raikiri." The Black Guardian chimed as Enma backed off from that slash. His eyes widened as the blades retracted. Flames were produced along the shoulders of the Black Guardians, and lightning materialized all across the fists. Powerful bursts of electricity pulsed. The Black Guardian rushed towards Enma, who had no choice but to release as well. "Illuminate, Tomoshibi!" Enma declared. His Zanpakuto glowed, and transfigured into a golden staff with a flame hovering at the tip. The flame was golden, and small. It turned red as soon as the release was completed, and what appeared to be a magic circle made of light, filled with arcane patterns, materialized in front of Enma. The punch from the Black Guardian was blocked in this way, by running into Enma's shield.

Regardless, the physical power of the whole thing forced Enma to be sent skidding back. And, before he got another chance to attack, the Black Guardian was upon him again. Just like Old Lightning's combat style. Fists of lightning dancing and blasting to attack. Enma was being pressured. He was trying to block with his red shield, but he was losing ground. He knew it was only a matter of time before he faced some kind of damage for this continuing onslaught. It was obvious. In that case, whirling to the side, Enma moved away from attack range momentarily. Though the Black Guardian soon gained on him again, his flame had turned black. A large blade of reiatsu formed at the tip of his staff. When he began attacking however, sour news. The voice chimed. "Initiating Bankai Release: Raikiri Jigoku."

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg stared in disbelief as he saw his attack had been completely blown away by the armor, not expecting it to be able to slice through his kind of attack so easily. That was when Zieg remembered Saix's ability to basically destroy reiatsu techniques that do not have a strength advantage over his own. The reiatsu strength factor had to be in the favor of the attacker, it could not be even or less by any standers or else it would be obliterated. "Tch... What was a thinking... I still need to learn..." Zieg grunted as he stared unblinkingly at the Shinra Guardian. Zieg of course was referring to his mistake: to the mistake of using a secondary technique rather then his primary abilities. Zieg did need the speed and strength of his armor to properly evade and counter attack, but the armor technique was going to be useless if he could not even damage the Guardian! An error in his part and it was going to cost him the ability to use the technique again for this fight and be able to be closer in matching the speed of the armor though he could barley do that anyway. The upside of this was that he now had the ability to use kido and his zanpakuto once again. Although the armor was a powerful technique, Bankai was his most strongest and it had to be used.

With that said, the armor suddenly shattered completely, disintegrating into a plume of reiatsu and said reiatsu sunk into the skin of Zieg. It would be revealed that Zieg's skin was lightly red, as if he had been sunburned, this caused by the effects of the armor. Normally, the armor would of severely damaged Zieg if it had been destroyed but he destroyed it with his own will and had done it before any severe drawbacks took place and it allowed him to recover the reiatsu he had lost from activating the armor technique. The fight was draining him though, and the technique had not helped either. He had to finish this soon, or else he would be killed by the armor. "Bankai!" Zieg roared as he unsheathed his blade from his zanpakuto and aimed it at the armor, whom was still advancing towards him. As he stated his release, he became consumed in a pillar of red and blue reiatsu, it lasting for second before dis parting and revealing Zieg to be wielding two miniguns, the barrels of each both spinning and aimed at the armor. As they spun, two orbs of reiatsu were gathering, one on each end of a barrel. Zieg was preparing his Atsuen Danmaku technique but he had little time. This was because as he charged it, the Saix armor slashed a giant wave of reiatsu at him, intending to crush him into nothingness.

Zieg barred his teeth as the orbs grew larger and larger, the couple of seconds seeming like an eternity as the wave drew closer and closer. Finally, reaching their maximum size, the technique was ready. "Atsuen Danmaku!" Zieg screamed as the orbs shattered and two dozen cero-like blasts fired up and formed together in a wave-like formation, matching the attack the armor had sent completely. The two attacks collided but only struggled for a split second as reiatsu strength advantage was declared. This was displayed as his attack completley consumed and blasted apart the wave the armor had sent. With having over 400 points more of reiatsu strength then the armor, the destruction effects of Saix's slashes were null and voided. The attacks were now heading for the armor himself, destroying everything in their path as they came closer and closer to it.
