Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 33: Training Arc, Sort of Victory

Kazui's POV:

"CONQUER, MUGETSU!"

Black energy flowed out of my body and blade as I shouted out my Zanpakuto's name. It was mixed with both red and blue energy as well, adding onto my Spiritual Pressure. This hasn't happened before. The only additional colour that was usually with my activation phrase was red, but it seemed to have changed when I asked Mugetsu to lend me some power. I felt a lot more powerful than usual, but this wasn't enough.

I was about to raise my sword again, but Kenpachi slammed his own sword against me.

"Only one boost per battle, Kazui!", Kenpachi smiled, his Spiritual Pressure crashing against mine, "Wouldn't want you to overpower me too quickly!"

"Is that how it is? Then let's do it!"

Blow after blow I tried to push down Kenpachi to the fullest, but he also put up a good fight. His strength was now matching my own, so in this fight we were equals. My speed and strength increased. I kept up with his strikes and I struck with attacks of my own. Black smoke surged from my blade as I kept on hitting Kenpachi. Based on my performance before, I was better. His arms, chest, and legs were covered in cuts and slashes by me. But I still needed to do something that I had done back in the Zanpakuto's dimension.

The reason I had (almost) beaten Mugetsu was by absorbing his Spiritual Energy and adding onto my own power. That was how I was able to release a much more powerful version of a Getsuga Tenshou. But for now, I need to absorb as much of his energy as I can before using my second phase.

"Getsuga Tenshou!"

I released an attack consisting of red, black, and blue energy towards Kenpachi, striking him directly. It hit his face and knocked him backwards, sending him an extremely long distance away from me. Bolting towards Kenpachi, I sliced downwards and cut his sword arm mid-air. Blood gushed out of his arm. This even surprised him. He narrowed his eyes again, smiling as he raised his blade once more. I already expected that such attacks wouldn't affect Kenpachi that much, nonetheless it was the only way to keep him closer. Ranged attacks could be easily avoided based on how strong they are. Close attacks on the other hand would be more difficult, so a Getsuga Tenshou at close range would prove effective. It may be a diversion, but it sure worked. Kenpachi's face was streaked with blood and injuries. That manic grin wouldn't leave. Well then, I'd have to try a little harder to put him down.

With one swift movement, I stabbed my sword into his gut. Digging the black blade into the inside of his stomach and securing it. I narrowly avoided all his attacks but along with my other injuries, his cuts proved superior. The pain I felt from a blade was something I was already used to. These injuries were nothing; I had one goal to do. To stop him from attacking me, I raised my other hand. I haven't done this before, but this was one time that I'd have to use this.

"Hado #31: Shakkaho"

Generating a crimson orb of energy, I fired it. The attack was extremely unstable since I didn't know how to control the way I made it. The spell exploded immediately and temporarily stopped him from swinging in surprise.

Still flying through the trees, I hybrid dashed down and dragged Kenpachi down with me. The blade was still trapped in his body, and using the bandages I pulled Kenpachi down and slammed him onto the floor.

This man just wouldn't back down. He didn't even land on his knee, let alone the rest of his upper body on the floor. His feet were planted straight onto the floor.

"It seems that you won't admit defeat, Kenpachi"

"I'm not going down to a person like you. I want to see some more effort"

He crashed his sword against me once again, pushing me to the ground. The waves of aura around him was slowly seeping into my blade. It seems that he was unaware of this fact and kept on swinging his sword. I grinned when noticing this. The ability was working more effectively as my blade made contact with his. The buildup of Spiritual Energy was now amplifying faster than before, and this will be the source of Kenpachi's defeat.

"Something funny? You seem to have a lot more fun than before cuz you looked gloomy at the start of my battle"

"Sorry, Kenpachi. I just had the most amazing realization", I laughed while my blade crashed into his, "This time...IT'LL BE MY VICTORY!"

With my strength, I pushed Kenpachi away and gained some more distance from him. I had gained enough Spiritual Energy from Zaraki that my sword was aching to release such power.

I am the final form of Getsuga Tenshou, the ultimate form of utmost destruction.

Destruction you say? I guess I must put that to the test. I'll rely on you, Mugetsu, to help me deliver the final blow.

A burst of Spiritual Pressure emitted from my body as the unstable energy remained inside of me. I have to do this now. This was the final opportunity to end this fight. I will prove my strength and win. Raising my Zanpakuto, I hybrid dashed upwards and appeared above Kenpachi. The energy swirled around my blade and was dispersing the force everywhere it felt like it. Both my blade and me were ready to fire the last attack.

"GETSUGA ENKOJO"

Dark flaming energy was fired from my blade and blitzed through the air. The branches of trees were breaking, the ground split and cracked under Kenpachi, and our surroundings were shaking. Red sparks of energy crackled around the attack. I felt rage and fierceness from the colour itself. Blue swirled around the huge crescent shaped strike as well, feeling the stillness and control that kept its shape.

It was absolute destruction, and Kenpachi was the one who tried to withstand it. The ground was pushed down and crushed under the weight of Getsuga Enkojo as he kept on holding on. Flames licked the skin on his body as the attack burned through his defense, until finally he gave out. The energy strike crashed onto the ground and exploded on contact. Smoke covered the area as any remnants of the attack disappeared. As the smoke disappeared, the large shadowy figure remained.

His body was propped up by his Zanpakuto while his lower body had been the one to give out. His captain's uniform was ragged and torn apart; Shihakusho smoky and full of cuts. And then the legs that gave out, and without a doubt his knees touched the ground. Despite all of that, Kenpachi still grinned and looked at me.

"Good job, Kazui. You managed to bring me down to my knees with that one attack. You're quite the opposite of weak", he announced with a rough voice, "I hope you grow even stronger, so we can fight again"

"Yeah, same with me"

Kenpachi slowly stood up and walked deeper in the forest, but not after calling out, "Remember, that wasn't my full strength. I haven't even used my Shikai or Bankai in that fight. Be glad you're still alive"

"Thank you, Kenpachi. I'll see you later"

I watched as his back faced me, his figure disappearing in the shadows. I felt exhausted as my stamina finally depleted at the last second. My Shikai turned into a normal Zanpakuto, so I placed it inside of my sheathe. I won this battle.

I won.
