As Lerouge eyes widened from fear.
Guerra speaks to him, expressing frustration.
"Today was supposed to be a good day off, I finally get a little bit of rest from my duties but you came in here barging in, ruining my arena, threatening to kill my people, and you nearly killed my mentor!"
Guerra headbutts Lerouge's nose, making blood come out of it, Lerouge breaks free from Guerra's grip through pulling hard and began to try and claw him consecutively at fast speeds. But Guerra uses the sword to deflect the attacks, learning how to use it along the way.
Lerouge front kicks Guerra in the gut and slashes the air with his claws, making a giant yellow claw mark in the air and was heading towards Guerra. He momentarily makes contact with attack with his sword but then sliced through it like nothing, Guerra uses his sonido and impaled Lerouge through the chest using the sword.
In a desperate attempt, Lerouge placed his hands on Guerra's face and gouges his eyes with his thumbs, Guerra screamed out in pain.
"AGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! You BASTARD!!! GAHHHH!!!!!"
Guerra lets go of the blade that has impaled Lerouge and placed his hands on Lerouge's forearm bracers, trying to force Lerouge to let go.
Lerouge, all bloody and beaten up. Was able to speak.
"I'm NOT letting go of you!!!!"
Guerra began finding ways to force Lerouge to let go, he began to bash his head hard with his left fist, causing bleeding in his foreheard and some fractures in his skull, but he continues to gouge his eyes out.
Guerra pulls out the sword in Lerouge's stomach, causing him extreme pain and litres of blood to drip out, Lerouge's grip loosens and Guerra took this opportunity to punch him really hard and forcing Lerouge to finally let go of his eyes.
Guerra couldn't see through his eyes but he can sense Lerouge's spiritual pressure. Knowing that Lerouge can barely fight, he pours immense reiatsu into the sword.
Guerra opens his eyes, he's in another World, he's in a black void with a moon used as a light source, standing in a perfectly flat giant rock on it's surface.
He realizes that he's no longer in the arena.
"HEY! WHERE AM I?! THIS ISN'T THE ARENA??!!"
He hears a raspy voice, responding to his shouting.
"Hey, hey! Quiet down will you?"
Guerra looks to the direction where the voice came from, only to see a man with white pale skin, wearing a king's cape that's dark red and tattered, has bandages all over his body, wears tattered shorts, does not wear any footwear, and wears a golden crown. His face resembles a young man, short black hair, the sclera and pupils of his eyes are completely black and the iris is red.
Guerra gets incredibly confused and the amount of questions in his mind only grows.
"Who are you?... What is this place?...."
The mysterious man replies.
"I am the manifestation of your soul, I am what your heart desires, I am the source of your power, I am your Zanpakuto."
Guerra's eyes widened as it comes to a shock to him that he was somehow able to attain a Zanpakuto despite being a hollow.
"A.... A Zanpakuto??? How???"
"And this! Is your inner world."
Guerra gets confused even more and scratches his head.
The mysterious man speaks to him.
"Look.... We don't have much time to talk as we are in danger, so I'll keep our interaction brief. I know that you want to protect the Empire you have built, and I want to help assist you as you are my only master that I will be loyal to.
Please, use my strength to gain the upperhand in this battle, beat him for both of our sakes, to preserve what you have built. You made a promise to yourself that you are gonna become the strongest and eventually be at the top of the food chain, if so.... Call out... my name."
Lerouge sees Guerra staying completely still, holding his blade, not attacking.
He gets confused and says.
"Are you mocking me of my injuries by staying still?! The audacity of such action... You think you're gonna win this because I'm severely wounded?! Think again!"
He rushes to Guerra and prepares to claw him with his left h, so he sticks it out.
As he got closer, Guerra regains his consciousness and screams out while raising his Asauchi.
"Reawaken! Ushinawareta kōtei!"
A Shikai manifests in the Asauchi. The size of it is as big as a Great Sword, the Shikai resembles that of a Sakai Takuyaki Grand Chef Knife (apart from the handle), it has a crossguard that has a jagged, angular and asymmetrical design and has a hole in it as it is a hollow Shikai hybrid, the handle is short, making it a one handed Great Sword and tapers slightly, ending with a pommel with the Shinigami skull symbol but with horns. The spine of the blade is white and so is the handle, the edge is black. The pomel is connected to a chain that's wrapped around Guerra's right wrist, making the weapon usable for long range.
Ashido sits back up and sees Guerra's Shikai up in the air, he speaks up and admires it.
"Unbelievable...."
Guerra cuts off Lerouge's forearm, he screams in pain.
"RAGGGGGGHHHHHHH... D-damn you....."
He takes numerous step backwards and tears off a piece of his clothes and uses it as a torniquet for his torn off arm to stop the bleeding. Lerouge then rushes in to Guerra but he feels as something is wrong, he feels slower.
"What the hell?! Something is wrong... I-I feel slower....."
Guerra responds to his problem with full confidence, knowing what's happening to him.
"My Shikai's special ability activates when I cut someone with it. It randomly selects one of my opponent's stats such as Intelligence, Perception, Strength, Speed, Reiatsu, or Reiatsu Control, and reduces that stat by a random amount between 10% and 40%. The reduction will always be at least 10%, but never more than 40%. I can keep slashing you with my sword for your other stats to be reduced at random. In other words, my ability is based on luck."
Lerouge eyes widened and looks at Guerra in fear. He feels tingles in his spine and his body shakes anxiously.
"Th-that's impossible! A hollow can't just g-get a Shikai!"
Guerra responds with intent to murder Lerouge.
"I also don't know how.... But one thing is for sure... Your arrogance lead you to your own demise.
Guerra stucks his blade up to Lerouge's heart. Killing him instantly.
We cut to Ainora, Wilfred and Thorfyll, fighting in a 2 vs 1 situation.
Ainora is battered up while Wilfred and Thorfyll are bearly scathed.
She yells at both of them.
"This battle isn't fair! It's a 2 on 1! Atleast have some honor in battle?!"
Wilfred scoffed and responds to Ainora's statement.
"To be fair... You guys were the one who barged in here when your target (Guerra) was simply minding his own business, putting him in a disadvantage. Making YOU guys the dishonorable ones, we are here to simply return the favour.
Ainora grits her teeth in anger.
"You..... Idiots!!!!!!"
She touches her Zanpakuto and shouts out he Resurreccion's name.
"Send them flying! La Rey Pajaro!!!"
Dust gathers around them and Ainora takes a form of a bird, she has gained wings in her back, and she also has bird feet that's armed with sharp claws.
Wilfred smiles and excited with the fight.
"Now we're talking! Befriend! Camarada!"
Wilfred changes into his Resurreccion form (I assume yk what it looks like, so I won't elaborate with it's looks. Refer to "Hot Competition!" for info.)
Ainora flaps her wings towards Wilfred and sharp feathers came charging towards him. He deals with them by clapping with his gauntlets, causing immense force making the feathers to fly the opposite direction towards Ainora which she quickly dodges them by flying to the air.
Thorfyll turns into a ball and comes rolling up to Ainora, she dodges immediately and Thorfyll tries again. But Ainora flys higher and shoots out a Cero, but missed Thorfyll. As she was distracted Wilfred punches her hard with his left Gauntlet, sending her flying thoughout the arena.
She stands back up slowly despite her broken bones, she tries to fly but realized she couldn't, she looks to her right only to see her right wing beaten up.
She expresses her frustration.
"Damn teamers... They'll pay someday."
She looks to her front only to see Thorfyll rolling towards her, hitting her in the face, causing her to fly again and crash into the chairs that are meant to the audience, knocking her out unconscious.
Thorfyll stands back up while Wilfred slowly walked towards Thorfyll's left side.
Thorfyll said with a hint of disappointment.
"Well.... I didn't expect it to be that easy, I was hoping for more since this is my first time seeing a Resurreccion."
