Roka: Dance Madly, Telaraña

Roka's form started to change as she used resurreccion. Four large spider legs wrapped in cloth grew from her back. A cloth also covered the side of her face where her hollow mask was once located.



(Y/N) was surprised to say the least.

(Y/N): *thinking* Now that I think about... I never questioned if she had a resurreccion or not... She never had a zanpakuto.

Even Cien was surprised.

Cien: Now this is a surprise. I wasn't expecting you to pull off a sword release. That's right, you were originally an arachnid Adjuchas. So how do you expect to fight me? You realize that you can't hurt me using those techniques you copied earlier, don't you? Szayelaporro feared this very type of situation, so he wouldn't have taught you how to use your power at all. Did you take a peek at Szayelaporro's backup data?

Roka didn't answer Cien. She simply thought to herself.

Roka: *thinking* I can only say this after reuniting with Nelliel and meeting (Y/N), but I truly wish to live. To find a dream to pursue. I will fight the man in front of me to protect both Hueco Mundo and the World of the Living. And to keep myself from running away from my cowardice. Now if only I can copy how "that" power works.

From across the battlefield, (Y/N) got up and started to walk towards Cien.

(Y/N): Stay here, Soi-Fon. Your bankai takes a lot out of you so you need time to rest.

Soi-Fon: No... I can still fight.

(Y/N): You don't have to pretend. We know each other's weaknesses by now. Just let me and others handle it.

Soi-Fon: I'm not some damsel in distress! I can-

(Y/N): Because my plan failed, you're left vulnerable. Sending you out to fight someone as strong as Cien will be irresponsible on my part.

Soi-Fon: You trusted me to give you an opening for Aizen. This guy is nowhere near the threat he is. Why don't you trust me now?

(Y/N): I do trust you! That doesn't mean I'm not worried. Besides, the Aizen situation was far different. We had far many more reinforcements than we do now!

Soi-Fon: Do you know what the Stealth Force's motto is? "If a fellow squad member is killed, think of it as a good opportunity. Don't get in-between. Stab the opponent from the back. If there is that big a difference in ability between you and the enemy that you can't even do that, then let your fellow squad member be killed." I'll gladly sacrifice myself to give you the opening you need to-

(Y/N): If that's what you're expecting of me if I ever join Squad 2, then don't expect me to join at all.

Soi-Fon: What?

(Y/N): I don't sacrifice anyone I cherish. My goal is to make sure everyone gets out alive. A mission failed with everyone alive is better than a mission succeeded with dead allies.

Soi-Fon: Why are you being so naive and stubborn right now-

(Y/N): You're one to lecture me about stubbornness! Why are you trying to willingly throw your life away? I didn't bring you here so that you could kill yourself! I can't lose you-

(Y/N) stopped himself from continuing his sentence before turning around.

Soi-Fon: What were you going to say?

(Y/N): Nothing... Just stay here. Once your spiritual pressure comes back, then you can rejoin the fight. And I'm not taking "no" for an answer.

With that (Y/N) took off.

Soi-Fon was shocked. This was the first time (Y/N) got genuinely upset with her. Also, something (Y/N) said stuck out to her.

(Y/N): I can't lose you-

Soi-Fon: But why...

"Oh, don't worry about it too much. (Y/N) will forget about this little scuffle by the time this fight's over."

Soi-Fon turned around and saw Wiz standing behind her.

Wiz: (Y/N) simply believes this is a fight we can win without casualties. No need to get hasty.

Soi-Fon simply sat in silence.

Wiz: Still... To be willing to throw your life away with no hesitation for (Y/N)'s survival is admirable.

Soi-Fon: What's your point?

Wiz: Oh nothing~ I'm just now realizing why (Y/N) likes you so much.

Soi-Fon: W-what do you mean by that?

Wiz: Oops~ Perhaps I said too much. Welp, I shouldn't stay here making small talk. I'll go assist (Y/N), so just sit there and recover.

Wiz walked past Soi-Fon after their small talk as she prepared a fire spell.

She created a ball of fire in the palm of her hand before shaping it in the form of an arrow.



Wiz's spiritual energy rose, as it could be felt from everyone on the battlefield. Even Cien felt it.

Cien: *thinking* The Witch. How did her spiritual pressure get so strong? It's almost close in strength to mine... And she's not even in resurreccion.

Cien then started to grin widely.

Cien: *thinking* So many strong enemies... This may not have been such a bad idea after all!

In Cien's short moment of distraction (Y/N) snuck up behind Cien landing an attack to his back with his scythe.

Cien quickly turned around to dodge the follow attacks that (Y/N) threw at him, but (Y/N) landed a kick to his stomach.



In retaliation Cien grabbed (Y/N) with one of his tentacles to restrain him. Cien then charge a Cero. Right before Cien could fire the Cero, (Y/N) casted Hadō #1. Shō and aimed for Cien's hand, knocking the Cero into a different direction.

(Y/N): *thinking* Now's a better time than any...I hope this works...

Following Ankou's advice, (Y/N) closed his eyes as he started to visualize something. Just then a shadowy arm covered (Y/N)'s.

(Y/N): *thinking* It actually worked? I mean... of course it did. I used it against Aizen.

(Y/N) pulled off a partial summon, This way he could save energy. Similarly to how (Y/N) partially summoned Panzer to hold down Aizen for Gin to use his Bankai on Aizen, he partially summoned Baraggan's hand. (Y/N) used this chance to grab onto the tentacle that had him binded. In an instant, Cien's tentacle released (Y/N) as it started to age due to the touch.

(Y/N): *thinking* I definitely have to use this a lot more...

Cien immediately backed away from (Y/N) after his attempt to age him.

Cien: I shouldn't have taken you lightly... You are (M/N) La Parca's son after all...

(Y/N) was surprised that Cien knew.

(Y/N): You knew her?

Cien: Szayelaporro encountered her once. On the battlefield. It was because of Szayelaporro's immense strength that she was pushed to learn Segunda Etapa on the spot. Though that was long before Aizen made his appearance in Hueco Mundo.

(Y/N): You... You know about Segunda Etapa?

Cien: What do I not know? I'm far more intelligent than anyone here! Even that-

Realization kicked in as Cien realized that he allowed Wiz to charge her attack this entire time.

(Y/N): I don't know about that, buddy.

(Y/N) then partially summoned one of Luppi's tentacles, using Luppi's ability Lanza Tentáculo to land a devastating hit to Cien's stomach. Just then, Roka's Negacion threads wrapped around Cien and (Y/N) casted Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō to keep Cien in place.

Wiz: Ignite.



(Y/N) and Roka quickly jumped out of the way as Wiz released the fire arrow that she had been charging for the last few minutes.

Wiz: Burn, alongside the original Szayelaporro.

From afar, (Y/N) could only look in amazement at the powerful attack that Wiz just used.

(Y/N): Wiz's power never ceases to amaze me...

(Y/N) then looked around for Roka. (Y/N) then spotted her, unscathed but coughing due to the amount of smoke produced from the attack.

(Y/N): How are you feeling?

Roka: I'm fine. Thank you... Did we win?

As Roka asked that question, a familiar maniacal laugh could be heard through the smoke and flames covering the sands of Hueco Mundo.

(Y/N): You've gotta be kidding... He's still up after that?!

(Y/N) started racking his brain for more ideas. He couldn't let Cien stay alive any longer or he may begin to grow even stronger than before.

Cien: None of you have the power to kill me...

(Y/N): *thinking* I may have to use Bankai and Resurreccion at the same time... Though, if I do that, I won't have anywhere near the amount of energy needed to take on Azashiro... I'll hold off for now. It may be time to use "that". If all else fails I'll just have to use Bankai and Resurreccion to beat Cien and risk allowing Azashiro to fuse with the World of the Living. He may have the advantage then but I can't let everyone here die to Cien...

Roka: Just what happened to you while you were in the Garganta?

Cien: Nice try. As if I'd let you buy more time with more talk. Did you think I wouldn't notice you two racking your brains to come up with your next twisted little scheme or something?

Cien, despite his abnormal endurance, was secretly concerned.

Cien: *thinking* I don't know what technique she's planning to use that requires her to stall for time, but does she really expect it to work on me? Not to mention the substitute shinigami's absurd plans and abilities.

Cien: Just what are you planning to replicate with those threads of yours?!

Cien, once again, increased his spiritual pressure, but this time Cien's form changed.



(Y/N) stared wide eyed.

(Y/N): Did he use... Segunda Etapa?

"No, I don't think so."

Wiz said as she approached (Y/N).

Wiz: If I had to guess, Cien finally reached his full power. This whole time, his form was that of his Adjuchas resureccion. If I had to guess, this is what his resurreccion looks like when he's a Vasto Lorde.

(Y/N) took another look at Cien.

(Y/N): You might be right... Look at his hair.

Wiz: Hm?

(Y/N): That yellow streak. It's the same color as Yyldordt's. Szayelaporro became a Vasto Lorde after consuming his brother and regressed when they split. And his brother's personality took over when he fought as a Vasto Lorde. It's all making sense now. His aggressive nature and his change in appearance. He truly is a Vasto Lorde level Arrancar now.

Wiz: At the very least, we now know his power won't increase anymore than it has already.

(Y/N): Yeah, and that gives me some hope... Wiz.

Wiz: What do you have in mind?

(Y/N): We're using Quimera Parca. It's now or never. We can't screw up.

Wiz: We'll need to take Cien's eyes off of us though. After the amount of damage he's taken, there's no way he'll take his eyes off of us.

(Y/N): We aren't the only ones here, remember?

Wiz: I guess you're right.

(Y/N) turned to Roka who's been deep in thought.

(Y/N): What about you, Roka? Do you have a plan?

Roka: I do, but it's taking me a while to get the data necessary to replicate the attack I needed.

(Y/N): And what would that be?

Roka leaned in and whispered into (Y/N)'s ear. Hearing the technique made (Y/N) freeze in his tracks.

(Y/N): You... You can use that...?

Roka: Yes, but there's no telling how long it'll take me to replicate it.

(Y/N): But what if the consequences-

Roka: It's just a replication. I'm not entirely sure if those come with it. After all, my replications aren't perfect. Some of them pale in comparison to the real thing.

(Y/N): I-I see... Well then, let's hope it works out.

Cien: Are you guys done whispering amongst yourselves? Whatever you have planned doesn't stand to my power! Nothing you do will work! Even if you tried to copy my power, I doubt you'd be able to extract 100% of it! You should know that you'd be no match for me with a weakened version of my powers! And no data on Lord Aizen's battle even exist in Hueco Mundo.

...

...

...

Cien: Just kidding! Did you think I was unaware? In the short time since I've been alive, I used to believe I was Szayelaporro! How could I not look into the data stored in Hueco Mundo? Did you think I wouldn't know about the transformation of Ulquiorra and Ichigo Kurosaki and how things ended between them? Or how (M/N) La Parca and the Witch took on Aizen and his two subordinates? I know in detail how Segunda Etapa works from Both (M/N) and Ulquiorra! And you probably thought by copying either of their powers, you'd be able to kill me, huh? Sorry, but it's no use! It was the best chance you had! Had you created either of their powers or Ichigo's, it would've been a bit more troublesome for me to kill you.

As (Y/N) listened, he noticed something.

(Y/N): *thinking* Ulquiorra had Segunda Etapa...? And Ichigo defeated him? So that means Ichigo saw what Segunda Etapa was like in person...

Cien: It's over, Roka! It may seem like overkill to say this right before I end you, but I really hated you! As someone who was created as some kind of alternate personality of yours, your existence only serves to drive my inferiority complex.

"Quite yapping will ya? With that kind of attitude I'm not even excited to fight you anymore..."

Cien could laugh as he heard the new voice entering the conversation.

Cien: And what do you think you can do, Grimmjow?

Grimmjow: You should know better than anyone else. You're the next prey on my list. I've been waiting to kill you.

Just then Harribel, Starrk and Nelliel jumped in front of the three fighters.

Harribel: Take the time you need to prepare your trump cards, we'll hold him off.

Starrk: Make the opportunity count, alright. We might not get another chance.

Nelliel: Let's end this, once and for all.

(Y/N) and Roka: Got it!

Grimmjow: Oi, (L/N)!

(Y/N): What is it?

Grimmjow: Don't forget our deal, alright?

(Y/N): Of course not. I'll hold up my end since you held up yours.

Grimmjow: That's all I needed to hear.

Grimmjow wasted no time rushing towards Cien.

To be continued.

Yeah, this fight takes a completely different turn than in the Light novels. This fight was simply a 1v1 between Roka and Cien. Also can we talk about how cool Roka's ressurrccion is?

Also Finally getting to write a Grimmjow and Nelliel fight scene so I'm excited.
