All things in the universe, turn to ashes.

"Phoenix.. You can do that?" John asked in a surprising tone because he never expected that his fire could turn ice cold. This was a totally new discovery for him.

"Of course... My fire isn't all about burning things. My fire will always depend on the host. You never tried with your different aliens." Phoenix said with a prideful tone. When the last time she saw Big-Chill she was excited to try her power with this new alien.

But then he gave birth. She seeing him being 'pregnant' and giving birth made her forget everything. She loved his babies and she got busy playing with them. And later she forgot about the cold fire case.

But here she could finally show her other side.

"We should communicate more. Do you have other forms of fire?" John asked.

"Yes.. I do.." she replied while sitting on his shoulder and seemingly cleaning her feathers.

"Fine we can see about it later. Now let's get busy and freeze some asses." John said as he flew into the battlefield while turning himself to transparent mode. This allowed him to go through the bodies of the demons freezing them and the surroundings.

While killing demons from the inside he made sure he killed from the outside too by using his breath and his cold fire spreading them in all sides. So wherever John it turned into one freezing zone which nobody could move. The bodies of the enemies would freeze, dying in a matter of seconds.

If any vibrations occurred later after the freeze, then their bodies would just crumble. And this same thing happened on the other side of the battlefield with Hitsugaya Toshiro. His Zanpakuto sword was of ice properties and thus his powers had the same impact on the demons as John's. Albeit John's was more brutal as Toshiro hadn't opened his bankai as of yet.

Actually none of the captains opened their bankai. All wanted to show off to the other captains and their subordinates so all were busy using their shikai form. And even with their first forms all of the captains were easily killing the demons.

And even the big earth demons that had emerged. Zaraki and Ichigo specifically sought after them since they both had a bet of who would kill more. And then there were the subordinates of all of Gotei 13.

And even though they weren't as powerful as the Vice-Captains and other higher officers, they still were able to hold their ground with no deaths. The whole battlefield was more like a slaughter and less of a battle.

Mephisto, who kept an eye on the battlefield, was fuming inside. He couldn't leave Lucifer and even though he was hurt he was starting to show signs of exhaustion. Not only were his subordinates being slaughtered but he couldn't go and kill the ants.

And even if he went behind the back of Lucifer, there was this old man who always gave him a bad vibe. But he could notice that the millions of demons which he had, their numbers were dwindling fast.

Finally after exchanging quite a number of blows Mephisto was able to free himself from the clutches of Lucifer as he successfully kicked him away to a mountain range nearby. After doing this he flew to the battlefield to kill the ants who had been hurting his precious souls that he had been accumulating in millions of years were being killed left and right.

As he flew away to the battlefield there was a sharp sword wave that flew towards him. Mephisto had to turn and block it because even at a distance he could feel the sheer heat emitting from the sword wave. And if he didn't block it, then he would be hurt for sure.

"Old man, you should have stayed in the coffin instead of dipping your hands in the later generation." Mephisto said as he flew towards the old man.

"Why does it seem like you need to be taught some manners? You are older than me but it seems you never had a teacher." Yamamoto said as he finally transformed his kane into a sword. He couldn't fight against Mephisto with his body alone.

He needed his Zanpakuto for this.

"All things in the universe, Turn to Ashes."

Said as he released the shikai form of his ryujjin jakka.

And then a huge Reiatsu pressure engulfed the entire battlefield. Even Mephisto who was flying towards Yamamoto to put him in his place stopped in his tracks. The pressure himself made him suffocate.

"Oye.. oye.. The old man is getting serious." Zaraki said as he cut demons left and right.

"This is going to be over soon." Rukia said as she sat on the shoulders of Ichigo while he was killing demons.

"If you want it to be over soon then help me instead of being a burden. You are not helping me in my bet."

"What do you know idiot. It is a practice for you." Rukia explained herself while being lazy.
