Lord Negar

Negar was in a standstill with Hikifune as neither was actually making a move to attack. Hikifune had released her sword which turned into a kitchen knife with an incredibly sharp edge and tip.

(A/N: No I'm not sexist btw.)

Her pink Reiatsu covered the battlefield and small ripples appeared whenever a step was taken. This was an instrumental part of her Zanpakuto. Hikifune could infect her opponents with her Reiatsu. All she needed was a cut to put it in the wound. Once that happened it would act as a tumour and increase rapidly inside the opponent's body, killing it from the inside out.

"You're awfully persistent, but I'm surprised at your intelligence and calm demeanour."

"Why? Is it because you've been taught that hollows are stupid bloodthirsty creatures?" Negar replied.

"No, I knew hollows with intelligence had to exist you're just the perfect example of it."

Hikifune attempted to kick the sword out of Negars hand but he managed to move back just before it happened.

"Who would've thought there were women with powers such as high as your own. I'm almost impressed." Negar said.

"You say that as if women cannot be strong? With a society much like yours, it's to be expected." Hikifune sighed.

"I treat men and women equally-"

Before he could finish his sentence he felt something on his shoulder. It was a small blue bird made of reiryoku much like the ones from before.

When he looked at it the bird began to swell and the reiryoku increased.

It was a bomb.

The bird exploded and a part of the surroundings was completely destroyed.

"Hmm, not as strong as I wanted it to be but good for a first time try." Yasushi's voice came from behind.

Once the smoke settled Negar seemed fine, save for a few burn marks on his skin but nothing major.

"You must be the other shinigami."

"You must be Negar, your wives told me all about you."

"They're dead aren't they?"

"Yes."

"I see. Well, this is no time to mourn. No time at all."

He pinched his fingers hard enough that blood seeped out of his index finger.

He let the blood drip on to his hands before firing a cero at speeds no one thought was possible.

This entire action happened within fractions of a second.

The cero he fired was different from other hollows. For one it was black and another was that it was distorting the space around it. It was compressing and decompressing as it travelled in the air.

Yasushi noticed it a bit late due to how quickly it was travelling but he managed to get away from it before it could hit him. While the Cero was fast the wind was faster than all.

The impact the cero made on the ground behind Yasushi was simply massive. It created a massive crater that could be confused for a landform. The destruction looked incredibly natural. It was almost beautiful.

Yasushi used a Shunpo to try however he stopped when he felt a wave of Reiatsu coming off the body of Negar.

It was dense, thick and almost intoxicating. It screamed anger in the ears of Hikifune and Yasushi.

'This feeling? What is it? Anger? Sadness? Regret? Weakness? No It was my fault they died. I'm the sole one to blame. The women I cared for, the women I trusted who I sheltered. Gone like the wind. I'm the one to blame.'

"Slither and Crawl, Serpiente grande."

He took his blade and put it to his throat and performed a self decapitation. He cut his own head off.

Out of his corpse erupted a monster. A beast. A puppet controlled by carnage and anger yet it was calm.

Yasushi looked up and saw an eight snake. It had the body of a snake but at its 'Neck?' it split off into eight fierce separate heads. On its body it had small arms protruding off its upper belly with sharp claws. It had red scales over its entire body and redwings which kept it flying in the air. Interesting enough on his original head there was a black hole which looked like a void.

However, the biggest problem was the sheer size of Negar. He towered over the entire area and was as big as a sky-scraper.

"So this is how he maintained control?" Yasushi said. He masked his shock with a laugh as the snake circled around them.

"It's like the Yamata No Orochi? You think we'll find any alcohol here?" Hikifune joked.

"That was a good one!" Yasushi said sarcastically.

"Now let's get on with this, Yasushi. There are more things I want to see."

Now, the problem with this is the mobility that Negar had. He had an aerial advantage and his size meant that he could shrug off damage.

All 8 of its head opened and out of it came out dozens upon dozens of spears made of water which it fired down on to the ground where Hikifune and Yasushi where standing, however, Hikifune stepped up and clapped her hands together.

"Bakudo 90: Tenshi no hogo"

A bright white barrier shaped like a square with a symbol of a snowflake on the front appeared and took the brunt of the attack.

While they rained down Hikifune began her plan. "Yasushi, I'm going to use you as a distraction. I'm sure you know what my Shikai can do. If you can get me an opportunity to infect him with my Reiatsu then we can win. You might die but, if you die I'll die right after so It's a compromise right? I'll back you up with Kido from here but my Zanpakuto isn't fit for these kinds of fights. Yours is."

"That's a lie. If I died you'd just have room to use your Bankai and that'll seal the deal. But I'll go along with your plan, Captain."

"Go out there and show him what Shinigami are made of!"

Yasushi walked behind the barrier and left his source of safety.

Negar noticed and moved all his heads towards him as soon as he walked out.

The lone Shinigami took his Zanpakuto and stared down the snake in the air. 'So it seems he can shape water and propel it at high speeds. I have an advantage here because I can just lower the temperature and freeze it. But could he use that too?'

Yasushi waved his zanpakuto in a circular motion. The wind quickly picked up to the point where the houses behind them were being picked up of their foundations.

Clouds began to form in the sky and small crackles of lightning could be seen from the clouds.

"Now, let's see who will win. A hollow or mother nature herself."

Merry christmas eve to those who celebrate it.

I'm gonna cry when Negar eventually loses. I love him too much
