Only Making It Worst

As Byakuya looked down at the ground below him, his eyes moved from Shen to Rukia. After a moment, Byakuya began to descend to the earth below while speaking. "Rukia, this is your final warning. Move aside." Landing on the frost-covered ground, Byakuya made a crunch as a light fog covered the area.

Looking at Rukia in the eye, Byakuya waited for a reply only to receive silence even so Rukia's face clearly showed she couldn't care less about what he was saying, especially with the amount of blood lust she was emitting towards him. Taking this as her answer, Byakuya closed his eyes for a moment as he held his Zanaputo in front of him.

Twisting his arm, he allowed Senbonzakura to fall to the ground; however, even as it touched the floor, there was no collision. Instead, the sword went through the ground, which began to ripple like water as the floor started to fade. "Bankai." With that simple word, thousands of blades began to rise in rows behind Byakuya.

Watching this scene from behind Rukia, even Shen was slightly mesmerized by what he was witnessing. 'This should be interesting to watch before I head off.' Thinking that a portal to his dimension opened as a pitch-black chair made its way into the world. Sitting down lazily, Shen made it clear to Byakuya he had no intention of fighting him himself.

Turning her head to look at Shen Rukia looked as though she was seeking confirmation, which Shen responded with a nod. Taking a step forward, Rukia prepared to face Byakuya on as he fully activated his Bankai. "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."The rows of swords began to glow as they burst into tens of thousands of cherry petals, each one representing a blade.

Controlling Senbonzakura Kageyoshi mentally Byakuya sent forward a wave much more significant than his Shikai. With this, Byakuya believed he could take both Rukia and Shen out at the same time however, as his Bankai rushed towards the two of them, something caused him to pull his attack back quickly. Floating next to Shen were the two Ki spheres containing Toshiro and his Zanpakuto.

'This should be enough incentive to make sure he only fights Rukia.' Although Shen didn't have to use Toshiro as a shield, he wanted Byakuya to focus his attention on Rukia. Otherwise, he would have just blocked the attack with a barrier instead. Taking advantage of Byakuya pulling back his attack, Rukia quickly disappeared from in front of Shen appearing a little ways behind Byakuya.

"That won't work twice." Byakuya knew Rukia planned on getting into his safe zone like before to finish this battle quickly, however, other than Sebonzakura Kageyoshi increasing the number of blades, and it also increased its speed. The moment Byakuya turned his head, the place Rukia was going to strike from was blocked off by a wall of cherry petals.

The increased speed began posing a problem to Rukia as she backed away while holding up her hand. Aiming her palm at Byakuya as a blue flame appeared in her palm as thousands of cherry petals followed her. "Sokatsui!" A massive wave of energy was released from Rukia's palm, flying straight at Byakuya colliding with Senbonzakura. As the forces met, it was like a liquid hitting a wall. Both Sokatsui and Senbonzakura rejected each other, forcing themselves upwards.

As the blue flames from Rukia's attack began to fade, Rukia had been able to create an opening in Byakuya's defenses. Rushing in Byakuya's face remained indifferent as all of the cherry petals that were in the air began to fall back down like rain. Getting closer to Byakuya, Rukia finally noticed that she was being trapped within Senbonzakura.

As the flood of pink continued to crash down, Rukia was in too close to escape. "This is the end Rukia." Byakuya spoke as he moved his open hand, pointing at Rukia before closing his hand as if crushing something. And as if reacting to Byakuya's movements, Senbonzakura's speed increased collapsing in on Rukia, creating an explosion of cherry petals destroying many structures in the process.

The result of the explosion caused debris and blades of Senbonzakura to fly in different directions, and some even flew straight at Shen, who was still sitting down as if watching a movie. As the debris flew within a certain perimeter of Shen, it was blocked by his Ki Barrier. Sitting there, Shen seemed not in the least worried about Rukia as he opened the system menu.

...

Manipulation Sorcery[Lv 2(Passive Growth)]: The user can seek out any negative feelings within a person's heart, allowing them to control their target using those negative feelings as a drive. This technique unlocks the potential of the target and boosts their strength however, if the target is too strong, then they can not be manipulated. The higher the level of this technique is the more hidden potential is unlocked, thus making controlled targets stronger.

100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva[Lv 3]: Controlling there nen, the user can summon a sizeable multi-armed statue behind himself shrouded in a golden yet crimson light. When the statue uses its arms, it can attack in an almost infinite array of combinations making it almost unpredictable.

Focusing his eyes on Manipulation Sorcery, Shen thought to himself. 'Its been on level two for quite a while. It shouldn't take much longer until it hits level three, then I'll get to see how much of a boost this technique truly gives.' While Shen had no problem with allowing Rukia to grow stronger, he wanted to know just how much power she had locked away.

"Keep pushing her to her limit Byakuya. You're only making it worse for yourself."

Rukia still has eight levels of hidden potential to unlock as she continues to fight against Byakuya. In the meantime, how do you think the other captains are doing? And whatever happened to Ichigo?
