Hey! This is a fanfiction, writing out an Alternate Timeline of the anime known as Bleach, a timeline which occurs within our real world! Inspired by real dreams I've had, this story is my outlet to write a story about said dreams. I hope you enjoy...
DISCLAIMER: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR MAJOR EVENTS AND CHARACTERS OF BLEACH AND ITS SUBSEQUENT LIGHT NOVELS. If you don't wish to be spoiled, then do NOT read until you have seen all of Bleach and know of the light novels Can't Fear Your Own World, WE DO knot ALWAYS LOVE YOU, and Spirits Are Forever With You.

As my blade releases, I swing my axe and fire a wave of ice at Mashiro, freezing her leg solid and tripping her up. She pouts to herself as I slowly approach her, kicking her in the stomach and sending her flying towards Kensei.
She lands and runs towards me again, using a Mashiro Kick to hit my face.
However, I catch her foot with my axe and slam her into the ground. I step on her stomach, reaching down and crushing her mask. I kick her limp body back towards Kensei, his expression showing slight shock.
"Wow... I can see why Head Captain Kyoraku wants you arrested. You really are a threat to Soul Society, if you can defeat a Vice Captain so easily.'
"Well, it's Mashiro. She was weak, didn't stand a chance. You, however, will be a tougher challenge, as I don't have a Bankai yet."
"You don't have a Bankai? Hah! Then you'll just be fodder to me." He releases his Zanpakuto, Tachikaze, as he points his army knife at me. "A giant axe isn't fast enough to block a small knife!"
"You may be right..." As Kensei lunges at me, I freeze a shield on my arm and block his knife. "...but my arm can block it! You're forcing me to improvise, Kensei. You're just making me stronger!"
As soon as I say that Kensei sucker-punches me straight in the gut, knocking the wind out of me and sending me flying. As Nel breaks my fall, I catch my breath.
"Even in just Shikai, he's a monster! But I have an idea. I just need him to get close again."
I charge towards Kensei, but instead of aiming for his chest or head I aim for his right arm. As I slash his arm I say "freeze" under my breath. As Kensei shoves me back again his eyes widen.
As he looks down at his arm, the wound begins to blacken. My plan worked just as I intended. I used another aspect of cold to afflict frostbite on his arm. It falls limp as he tries to move it.
"You... what did you do?! Why can't I move my arm?!"
"My power, is the power over all things cold. That includes frostbite, which is now spreading over your arm. Pretty soon your arm will freeze over and, as gruesome as it is, it will fall off."
Kensei begins to panic. His arm has already started icing over, as his arm is mostly a blackened blue by now. Sweating profusely, he looks like he's genuinely scared.
"A Zanpakuto that can afflict frostbite? Impossible!"
"Yet it's happening to your arm right now. I think that's proof enough.'
"You... You monster!" He roars in pain as his arm finally falls off. Enraged, it looks like his reiatsu is flaring up uncontrollably. He picks up his Zanpakuto with his other hand and says the words I wanted to hear.
"Bankai!! Tekken Tachikaze!!" His Bankai wraps around his arm but the links behind him only reach halfway, not connecting because his other arm is missing.
"Now, Nel!!" I step back as while this was all happening, Nel had activated her Resurreccion, Gamuza. Now in her ibex-centaur-like state, she rears up with her lance.
"Lanzador Verde!" She yells as she flings her lance right at Kensei. At the same time, I charge towards him, swinging my axe. Kensei goes flying, a stab wound from Nel's lance and a slash all down his chest from my axe. It seems as though the fight is over.
But... Kensei gets up. He isn't unphased, as he staggers to his feet, but he's still in somewhat decent condition. His expression has gone from stoicism, to anger, and now to utter unrelenting rage.
"You really think that's gonna beat me?! Even with one arm I'll kick your ass all the way outta Soul Society!!" He roars as he charges towards me, his fist connecting with my chest.
It felt so painful. Tekken Tachikaze allows Kensei's fist to hit his opponent, but as long as his fist is touching you in some way you'll keep being bombarded by explosive blows. So, as Kensei's fist keeps touching my chest, it feels like I'm being barraged with punches all over. Nel comes to help me, however, by retrieving her lance and stabbing Kensei's side with it. He yelps and lets go of me, as I cut the air with my axe, summoning a cold whiteout blizzard over the area.
Tsuchiya finally has a named attack! What did you think of Tsuchiya's small scrap against Mashiro, and now the first portion of his fight against Kensei? Without Nel, Tsuchiya definitely would have a much harder time against Kensei. Do you think Kensei will brave the Weeping Blizzard and defeat Tsuchiya?
I hope you enjoyed, and thank you so much for reading!
