"Sorry 'bout that, kiddo. That's why the call the power gap. A Zanpakuto changes its size and shape based on its owner's reiryoku. And this is the figure of my reiryoku." Renji explained, Ichigo was still on his knees, feeling intensive pain flowing through his entire body that his body being hit by a Groudon.

"Alright, kid, it's about time for me to leave. The air here doesn't suit me very well." Renji said.

'I hoped the first attack would show Ichigo the power gap, that way, he'd know he was no match and back down while his wounds were still shallow. That's what I was hoping for... But of course, Ichigo wouldn't back down just for that, like Ichiro did. Truth to be told, I knew that... But why? Why didn't I... Please, get out of here, Ichigo. Please, I beg you! Just run if you can!'

"Here it comes."

'Run, please! Do this for your dear sister!'

"Nothing to say, eh? Then say sayonara!"

"Stop!"

Rukia jumps onto Renji's arm, stopping him from swinging down his Zabimaru at Ichigo. "What're you doing, Rukia?! Dammit, let go of me! You trying to get yourself into deeper trouble?! Let me go, bakayaro!" Renji yelled furiously at Rukia, as she look at Ichigo.

"Please, run, Ichigo!! Stand! Get it and un away, please! I beg you, Ichigo! RUN!!"

But, Ichigo grabs the hlit of his Zanpakuto, as the two stop struggling and look at Ichigo in surprise. "What the hell... You still have the strength to move?" Renji said, before pushing Rukia out of his arm, as the crimson-haired ponytail Shinigami smirks.

"Just what the doctor ordered. I was just thinkin' what a drag it'd be just finishing off someone who is almost dead anyway." Ichigo got back to his feet, his hair shadowing his eyes, as Renji put his Zanpakuto on his shoulder. "Alrighty then, let's have one last down and nasty bloodletting before you die."

"Ichiro, come on! If you can stand, run as far as you can, please! You have to live, Ichigo!"

Suddenly, the wind starts to howl, gripping on his Zanpakuto's hlit. "What's wrong? If you're not going first, then I'll gladly take the first go." A faint blue reiatsu surrounded Ichigo's Zanpakuto, before the winds got harsher and bigger, nearly knocking Renji away.

'What's with this increase in reiatsu?!'

When Ichigo look up, he moved so fast that he slashed Renji's right shoulder, blood coming out as he grunts,and turns around. "What the hell?!" His Zanpakuto collided with his Zabimaru in the instant he turn around, shocking Renji, as he was toss away into the air, landing on the ground as his headgear breaks apart in half, blood leaking out of his forehead, and look at Ichigo in pure shock, his purple eyes showing insanity, now fighting with pure instincts.

'What... the hell is he... A second ago he was about to die! What the hell'd all this power comes from?!'

"What's wrong, Abarai Renji?! Your movement have gotten hella a lot slow all of a sudden!!"

'Shut up, you overconfident bastard, you've gotten faster.'

"I dunno what this is, but it feels so damn good. Right now, my wounds doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm not even had a tiny bit of worry about losing to you!"

"You insane bastard!" Renji got up, and point his Zanpakuto at Ichigo. "Howl, Zabimaru!" He swings the 6-part segmented blade at Ichigo, his purple eyes turn into insanity and grins, and casualty step side it.

Renji swings them again, and Ichigo knocks them away back to Renji with a kick, the blades retract back and Ichigo rushes toward Renji, jumping up and their blades collides together, before Renjj jumps away and Rukia looking at Ichigo in awe and surprise.
