Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 27: Training Arc, Takedown

Kazui's POV:

"GETSUGA TENSHOU"

I launched my attack towards Kenpachi. But something was different with that attack. This time, the colour of the energy blast was black and red, just like the energy from my Shikai activation. The weight and strange feeling that I had felt earlier from my blade disappeared when I released and now it felt lighter.

The direct attack hit Kenpachi in the chest, blowing him backwards and dropped him into the ground. I had no time to waste. I had to get Kensei as well in order to surpass them.

I used Shun-So-Hi to rush my way towards him when he wasn't expecting. I raised my sword and released another Getsuga Tenshou. Surprisingly, Kensei dodged the attack and punched my chest. The blades from his knuckles pierced into my rib cage and I felt it shatter. I spat even more blood after Kensei continuously punched me, the explosive force adding even more damage to my body.

The strength I felt was beginning to leave me, and I couldn't do anything about it. But I did know one thing that I could do. If Kensei was able to use his Bankai against me, then I can use a couple of tricks of my own.

Using my Fullbring, I was able to control the fabrics of my Shihakusho to cover up my wounds, reinforcing that area. I used my Zanpakuto to then launch myself up with a Getsuga Tenshou, hitting Kensei along with it. With a throw of my Zanpakuto, I struck the arch behind his head and dragged him up with me.

This was a good start. In his dazed state, I can land some hits on him and render Kensei unconscious so that I'll at least handle one of the two captains. But he was prepared. Even though my Zanpakuto pierced through his armour, he still had enough strength to land a punch to my jaw. I felt a loud crack and my jaw felt dislocated.

It didn't hurt as much for some reason. Probably since I already felt like crap that my mind wasn't bothered with the pain in my jaw. I could still reject this. I've had worse.

I used my Sotenkisshun to heal my wounds and spat some blood onto the floor. I planted my sword on the ground and took a breather. Kensei landed in front of me, a few injuries left, but still ready to go.

"You good, Kazui? I hate to break it to you, but you need to keep up or else you'll just be a burden to the Soul Society. Hurry up, unless you wanna end up dead in battle", Kensei states seriously.

My jaw was still recovering so I couldn't answer. Finally, I picked my sword back up and faced him properly. This was no time to chat, so I gotta fight. Screw this, I'll just attack with all I have.

I dashed towards him and struck one of his arms, pinning him onto the dirt ground on one knee. Kensei tried to kick me in the face but using the hilt of my sword, I blocked it easily. Somehow, I didn't see that this was just a diversion and got punched, the explosive force once again my cause of pain. I gritted my teeth and stabbed Kensei in the stomach as payback for my injuries. With a quick side dash, I was able to evade his next fist and used the bandages once again to my advantage.

By using my hybrid technique to its full extent, I could travel around Kensei to the point where he couldn't keep up with my speed. And along with that advantage, I used the bandages and wrapped it around his neck. I then used my full strength to slam his head on the ground. I know that might seem harsh, but to be fair these were captains. They've survived worse, and along with that it was like they were trying to kill me.

With that final strike, Kensei was down. Blood leaked from the back of his head where I hit him, but not enough that it looked like he had blood loss. That's good. Wouldn't want to accidentally kill a captain.

I sighed and turned around. But before I could try to recover another blade tried to hit me. If it weren't for my quick reaction time, I wouldn't have survived.

"Don't think you've killed me yet, Kazui!", the crazy captain exclaimed, pushing his jagged sword against my large one, "You haven't even landed a cut on me!"

My face fell as he stated that fact. It was true, and I saw it on his very own body. There was no sign of any scars or recent cuts on his chest. Not even an injury from my previous Getsuga Tenshou. How? How did he not even look that injured compared to me? But never mind that, I needed to focus.

This man is an absolute beast. I don't know how to beat him, but I promise, on behalf of my family, I will.

"BRING IT ON! KENPACHI ZARAKI!"
