Chapter 153: Grimmjow

I searched around for a while and found Sado still fighting with Nnoitra. Nnoitra's subordinate Tesra, was dead on the ground with his head smashed in, Nnoitra himself used his Resurreccion and was still missing two arms. Sado on the other hand, had only used his Fullbring on his arms and chest. Looks like the training more than paid off. I changed clothes from the bug shit and blood from before and took out some snacks as I watched the fight.

In the original, Sado had his right arm split in two by Nnoitra but now Sado took two of his six arms. Sure Nnoitra can regenerate but Sado has more than enough power to kill him. I didn't sense Sado's Reiatsu fluctuate nor was he short of breath but Nnoitra was was worse for wear.

Nnoitra: How can a human…be this strong?! Dammit!!

Sado: El Directo! (The Direct)

The blast pushed Nnoitra back because he blocked the attack with all of his remaining blades. The force still made Nnoitra spit out blood, Sado wasn't even trying to kill him merely push him back and show him the difference between them. For his friends, Sado wasn't opposed to killing Hollows but seeing the vast difference between him and Nnoitra, he eased up a bit, Nnoitra also felt this.

Nnoitra: You fucking human!! Are you pitying me?! Me! This Nnoitra?!

Nnoitra used his Gran Rey Cero from his tongue at Sado. Sado simply put out his left arm and took the beam in his hand until it was over. Sado just looked at the slight singe on his palm then looked at Nnoitra. Nnoitra was used to being looked down on from Nel before she was tricked and was downgraded in power. Now, for a human to be doing the same to him, who thinks of himself as the strongest Espada, there is nothing more embarrassing or demeaning for him than being defeated by a being he considers weaker.

Sado: You cannot beat me. Step down or you will be put down.

Sage: Quit showing mercy, Sado. Because if the situation were reversed he wouldn't do the same.

Sado: Sage-san. So you're done on your side?

Sage: Yeah. Just waiting on the Espada's numbers from 1 to 3, Ichimaru or Aizen himself to show up.

Nnoitra: Another human taking me lightly!

Sage: Oh no, I am outright not putting you in my sights. You're too small. If your superiors couldn't stop me, why would I give a fuck about you?

Nnoitra: RRRAAAGGHHH!!!

Nnoitra attacked Sado filled with rage. Even an amature knows never attack in rage because it is only easier to manipulate the opponent. Sado shook his head and charged his left arm. From the many times he saw me attack, he knew that Nnoitra stood no chance against me. If anything, Sado saw himself killing Nnoitra as mercy compared to an easy death with me.

Sado: La Muerte! (The Death!)

Sado's left arm made clear contact with Nnoitra's face, the resulting impact and discharge of Reiatsu caused the surrounding sand to change into glass. The force of Sado's punch made Nnoitra head look as if he was trying to eat his own head until it imploded, killing Nnoitra. Honestly, I was surprised to see that Sado noticed me making a flicking motion. Nnoitra was literally a flick away from death rather than Sado's punch. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

Sado: What kind of pride do you think he would have if you flicked him away like a bug Sage-san?

Sage: First of all, he was a bug. Secondly, you playing with him destroyed him far more than what I could have done. (I turned my head)

I sensed that Rukia fell with the Arrancar who took on Shiba Kaien's appearance, Aaroniero Arruruerie, the Noveno Espada (Ninth Sword). I shook my head thinking, "he was the weakest of the Espada and the only Gullian, why are you so weak, Rukia". I can't judge her too harshly because the appearance he took was that of her former mentor, so her emotions made her fuck up. I noticed that everyone else sensed her fall, but I don't mean her death, just her defeat. Since her Reiatsu took a nose dive I can understand why everyone else thought that.

Sado: Sage-san.

Sage: I know, I felt it too. Don't worry though, she is still alive.

Sado: How can you know that? Her Reiatsu is completely gone!

Sage: Dude, I'm the one who taught you how to sense energy signatures, quit making me look bad and feel out her life, not her Reiatsu.

Sado closed his eyes to feel out Rukia. When he opened his eyes he turned his head and looked at me then nodded. I sensed around for everyone else. Ishida and Renji were fighting the Octava Espada (Eighth Sword), Szayelaporro Granz and Ichigo finally engaged Ulqiorra. I knew Rukia was going to be fine because Soul Society sent four of their Captains as back up.

I kept up with Ichigo's fight in particular because Ulquiorra wasn't able to one shot Ichigo like he did in the original. From what I was sensing, Ulquiorra actually took out his sword to fight Ichigo. He didn't release yet because he was not allowed to within Las Noches. Still, Ichigo was not walking away from the fight with Ulquiorra without a scratch so he had to sustain some damage. I sensed that Grimmjow took Orihime from where the Arrancar were keeping her and headed to Ichigo's location.

A few minutes later and Grimmjow reached Ichigo and Ulquiorra's location. Their Reiatsu spiked but it ended like it did in the original, with Ulquiorra disappearing into the Caja Negacion (Box of Negation). The box is used to punish subordinates, it permanently traps regular Arrancar but it won't hold Ulquiorra for long. Orihime was still used to heal up Ichigo and Grimmjow so they could have their fight. I smiled as I get to watch another one of my favorite fights but Ichigo will have a bigger advantage this time around so it might end faster. I grabbed Sado and flashed to Orihime's location.

Orihime: (Startled) Sado-kun! Sage-san!

Sado: Orihime, are you ok?

Orihime: Yeah, I'm fine. But Kurosaki-kun is going to fight Grimmjow. He imprisoned his comrade and told me to heal them just to fight Kurosaki-kun.

Sado: Don't worry. Sage-san and I are here if he needs help.

Since we were still in Las Noches, I created a couch from the Spirit Particles in the air to sit Orihime, Sado, Nel and I. I brought out snacks and got comfortable to watch the fight. Ichigo spotted us…

Ichigo: Chad! Sage-san! You guys made it.

Grimmjow: Great more people to fight.

Sage: Don't mind us, we're here for the show. (Crunch)

Grimmjow: After him, you're next.

I stared back at Grimmjow with added pressure. The atmosphere encompassed the entire area but the pressure was solely on Grimmjow. He fell on his hands and knees into the white sand.

Sage: You must be tired of living. If you wanna live longer, stick with fighting Ichigo. If you are on your knees from me staring at you don't even let my name pass your lips. Before you lose interest, pretend we are not here.
