Chapter 14 - The Clash (2)

Szayelaporro Granz, Aaroniero and Zommari made their way to the world of the living, each holding the positions of the eighth, ninth and seventh Espada respectively. 

Aaroniero wore an odd elongated mask that covered his face and he wore a dress garb that covered his whole body, a noble coat that possessed several frills. The Espada currently had his hands together as he stood in the air with his companions, he felt annoyed by the idea of combat in the human world. 

Zommari was a tall, muscular dark man with very prominent large lips, his hollow mask fragments were in the form of spikes on his head that seemed like a mohawk, bone earrings and a thick boney necklace. His uniform was made up of the standard Hakama and a mandarin style long jacket with an opening at his chest. He had his hands behind his back and his eyes were closed as if he was concentrating. 

Out of the three he had the least amount of complaints about their mission whatever his Lord Aizen asked of him he would deliver.

Szayelaporro was a tall, thin man with pink hair his hollow mask remnants were in the form of his glasses. His clothing consisted of a white long shirt with three black stripes that covered his torso, he wore regular pants and gloves that matched the black and white motif of his other clothing. The only part of him that was exposed was his head. He folded his arms as he waited.

Zommari noticed his pouting face and issued him a command. "Stop with childish behavior Szayel, our mission is to draw in the Soul Reapers nothing more, then we can return to Las Noches." Zommari talked to the pouting pink haired man as one would with a child, which did not escape the attention of the eighth Espada.

"Easy for you to say Zommari, all you have waiting for back home is your meditation session while I have limited time to return in order to finally have a moment with our most recent ally. Ah, just imaging the wonderful experiments I could conduct on him has me so excited! But, now I'm stuck here with you two and those pests-"

Szayel stopped talking as he and his allies found their target fly towards them.

"Orange hair, large sword. He fits the description of Ichigo Kurasaki." The masked arrancar spoke as the young man approached their location which was just above a park in the small city, he flew towards them with anger written all over his face.

Zommari simply sensed for the locations of his subordinates that hid their presence, however he showed surprise as his eyes seemed to shoot open, before he spoke the other two espada noticed as the other beings approached.

"A moth man, a metal man-and is that woman flying on a reishi disk. No, I do not sense any reishi and their spiritual energy seems to be on the same level of the civilians here in the city." The ninth Espada noted as he and his two superiors awaited their foes, Ichigo stopped a small distance away from them to converse with the odd beings.

"Why are you guys following me? From what you said your kind of a third party, so why help me out?" The substitute shinigami asked the moth man who he recognized with some issue as the dark haired Kevin from before. Kevin had his eyes glued on the three beings that were a distance away from them, he could feel Gwen and Rook approach from behind.

"That's true, but the idiot would be pissed if we just stood by and let you handle this by yourself." The mouth man grinned, which made the young Kurasaki see his now light blue teeth which caused him to shutter a tiny bit. "Plus saving people and beating the shit out of bad guys is kind of our bread butter."

"Oh, that moth man he looks like an alien Rudborrn described to me! Ok change of plans I'm going to capture him." Before any conversation could be had the pink haired man circulated his spiritual energy throughout his body, the spiritual energy took on a pink-violet color. In the seconds it travelled through his being it felt as though his body was being electrocuted, healed and rejuvenated.

He approached with his mad drive evident as it oozed off him, his two foes were surprised, however their instincts kicked in as Ichigo grabbed his zanpakuto Zangetsu which was shaped like a large khyber knife. He prepared to block the Espada instead he received a kick to the stomach which forced him back a considerable distance and made him curl up slightly.

After that Kevin released some fidget gas from the pores on his right arm that froze the moisture in the air thus creating an ice spike over his now black and blue arm, in the next instance the spike met the steel of the eighth espada. The pink haired man tried to push back the moth man, however he was shocked to see that he stood his ground. 

Upon further view of the moth man Szayel saw that he had grey hair and amber eyes, with black and white skin, he wore an all black suit and boots. The mad smile on the pink haired man's face rubbed the half-alien in the wrong way, he tried to apply more force to push him away only to see that both of them were at a standstill.

That fact did not escape the mad man's notice. "Oh, my, we seem to be on equal footing in terms of strength, I do not know how I feel about that honestly because among us Espada I'm on the weaker side physically." Szayel was in bliss as he analyzed his opponent only to then have to dodge an attack in the form of another arm clad ice spike.

"Yeah, I don't really care about any of that, just here for my idiot best friend." Kevin spoke as he shattered the spike on his with his physical strength and rushed forward with an ice mace that formed over his hand.

Time seemed to move slower for the both of them, Kevin had no fear in his heart, only the burning desire to finish the fight to get to Ben, his foe also had the same desire, however he wanted to capture the anomaly before him to satisfy his mad desire for knowledge. And so the two clashed ice fragments fell to the earth as a sign of the collisions of sword and mace

"Friend you say! Could his name be Ben Tennyson by any chance?" The Espada saw the odd colored face of his opponent seem to go white due to shock, he smiled and closed the distance between them and soon he felt the soothing feeling of his sword piercing the flesh of his opponent.

His zanpakuto ran through the alien hybrid's torso. He was careful to not hit any vital points, after all there is more to learn from a live specimen than a cadaver.

"Holy shit!" Ichigo saw his would-be ally get impaled right before him, his other two allies flew behind him without a word.

"Good Szayel, now for the rest." Zommari directed his sights to the other three individuals before him, Ichigo's anger rose as he held onto the metal suit wearing man and girl who rode atop a blue disk.

"Aren't you going to do something?! Your friend just got impaled!" His answer came in the form of Gwen's fox-like grin and her action of pointing towards Kevin and the pink haired man.

The Espada felt something being pulled away from the core of his being which caused his face to become as white as a sheet, the wings of his opponent which went limp after his strike flapped with new found strength. The opposite was true for him as it felt as though his left arm which he held his sword with began to lose strength rapidly.

"W-what is-?!" 

"Damn it. That guy really had to complicate things this time around didn't he? Ah, doesn't matter, it just gives me all the more reason to send you guys high heaven!" Kevin's mutant hand grabbed the blade of the sword while his amber eyes stared right into the core of Espada before him. The pink haired man fell to his knees as a considerable amount of spiritual energy was sapped from his body, Kevin stood above him while he felt his horns grow out from his head.

The hybrid removed the sword and felt the rush of energy in his body. It was different, not too unlike mana or chi, but it had its quirks. Soon Kevin swung the arrancar above his head like a lasso and tossed him towards his companions with terrifying speed.

Which just left a flabbergasted Ichigo to stare at Rook and Gwen for an answer, which the suit-clad alien answered.

"Kevin is an alien known as an Osmosian, his species can absorb DNA and energy to wield as their own." The man in the suit kept it short as he eyed the other two beings clad in white to see their reaction.

"Oh, ok, I guess that explains it-what you guys are aliens?! Aliens are a thing?!" Kurasaki did not receive an answer, however he saw the pink haired man be rescued not by his companions instead he was saved by a figure who leaped from the ground with high speed into the air and grabbed the body of the weakened Espada.

The being wore the typical arrancar colors however he was massive compared to others he had arms longer than his body, clown like dark hair, his mask covered his right eye and nose it had teeth that grew from the bottom.

The pink haired man was in the giant's hands. He cracked open his eye lids slowly and recognized the person who saved him, he snorted and laughed.

"Haha, Medazeppi...thanks for rescuing me." The pink haired man was met with nasally noise as a sign of acknowledgement.

"Hmm, you revealed our trump card to Szayel soon, now Lord Aizen will be informed." Zommari said as the masked Espada seemed to nod and a figure in a white cloak rose to meet him, the figure seemed to hunch forward and create chirping like sounds. Then another figure rose to stand by Zommari; this one was another figure that wore the arrancar, the standard uniform with a cloak that covered their head and body. 

"Lord Zommari, your orders." The newest cloaked figure asked.

"Take care of them while I handle Kurasaki."

"No, your mutts aren't allowed to touch them!" The pink haired man yelled, soon screaming was heard afterwards.

"Holy!" 

"Oh, now just wrong."

Kevin and Gwen audibly reacted as Ichigo seemed like he was ready to vomit as Rook shuddered at the sight of the espada consuming his subordinate. They slowly appear more energized as the less of the large being was left.

"Ah. Yes that's much better and like I said those three are mine especially tall and dark over there." Szayel's lower face was covered in blood as he pointed his sword at Kevin with his crazy smile half way between rage, joy and ecstasy. 

"Ok, boys it seems like we're out numbered so I hope one of you doesn't mind having to dance with another partner." Gwen said as she stretched on her blue disk, Rook held out his left and with a glitch on a digital device his hand grasped his proto-tool the difference this time being that it lacked the omnitrix badge instead it simply had the red PLUMBER badge. The tool shifted from its base gun-like shape into its spear form.

"How come you don't want to take two on yourself a bit since you let loose." Kevin still had a bit of pink haired mad man's energy inside him so he had to be strategic in what DNA he mixed in next. From his bike lock he summoned several small clumps of DNA Conductoid, Petrosapien and Aerophibian.

Soon his horns took on a copper appearance, his face stretched as his teeth enlarged, his torso got bulkier as his skin took on diamond-like properties. He grew a tail that ended in a copper tip. His mass forced him to hunch over as his moth wings resembled that of a bat, his hair became a wild mane and his eyes took on a green hue.

"You guys seem wonderful to be around." The young shinigami said sarcastically, which was lost on Rook.

"Why thank you mister Kurasaki you seem pleasant as well." 

The two forces then stared each other down then they all flew towards one another and then a blue light shone and they all disappeared.

"Ah, children still ignoring collateral damage I see, now where to send you, hmm? Ah, that should be perfect!" On a far away building a man in white lab coat fiddled with a golden pocket watch.
