(Y/N) was staring down Harribel and her fraccion. This is it. Do or die time.
(Y/N), without even using the command, activated his Bankai while also activating his hollowfication at the same time.
Harribel: We're on a tight schedule. We'll get this done before the invasion on the World of the Living.
Apacci: We'll get it done in a minute!
Harribel: Save Ayon for the war, no need to use it here.
Fraccion: Right!
https://youtu.be/H1GZ8jBHkHw
All of Harribel's fraccion released at the same time, just like their second encounter. (Y/N) started his assault by summoning Luppi and Panzer to keep the fraccion at a distance. Thankfully, thanks to the nature of Hueco Mundo, (Y/N) pretty much lost no energy summoning two arrancars.
(Y/N) instantly went on the offensive against Harribel by throwing his scythe at Harribel. Although caught off guard by the initial attack, she was still able to dodge it, albeit narrowly. (Y/N) didn't let that deter him as he casted Hadō #1. Shō to redirect the scythe's trajectory. The sudden change in direction prevented Harribel from properly defending against the attack, getting pierced in the side by the scythe.
(Y/N) then casted Bakudō #26. Kyokkō, a new spell that he learned from Hachi, to turn invisible and hide his spiritual energy.
Harribel: He has new tricks... He's fighting completely different from the first two encounters. He's even using Hueco Mundo's dense reishi to his advantage. He's a strategic one...
Harribel removed (Y/N)'s scythe from her side, but the moment she touched the scythe she felt a large amount of spiritual energy sapped from her body. She originally wanted to keep the weapon away from (Y/N) but knowing that her energy was getting absorbed by simply holding it meant she would have to break the scythe.
(Y/N) wouldn't allow that as he reappeared, breaking the Bakudo spell, immediately casting Hadō #63. Raikōhō point blank in Harribel's face.
(Y/N) picked his scythe up and continued his assault. (Y/N) increased his speed, creating afterimages.
Harribel wasn't fooled though. Harribel charged a cero and released the attack through her sword, creating a large arc that wiped out every single afterimage and hit (Y/N) at the same time.
Harribel took the opportunity to push her advantage, attacking (Y/N) with multiple piercing attacks with her sword. The attacks came at blinding speeds, preventing (Y/N) from blocking all of them.
Harribel's sword glowed once again, as she charged an Ola Azul. She thrusted her blade in (Y/N)'s direction. (Y/N) blocked the attack but the attack dealt a lot of damage regardless.
(Y/N) ignored the pain, spitting up some blood in the process. He then dashed clashing blades with Harribel.
(End Song)
(Meanwhile) With Panzer and Luppi
https://youtu.be/bCVBPUf6sn0
Panzer was fighting the front lines while Luppi was acting as support. Apacci was currently firing a Cero at the two arrancars. However, Panzer simply blocked the attack with his shield-like arm. Panzer took little to no damage, but the attack was only a distraction as Mila Rose took this as an opportunity to bypass Panzer's shield and stabbed Panzer through the chest.
Panzer used this opportunity to hold onto Mila Rose, not allowing her to escape. Luppi then capitalized on the situation by using Jaula Tentáculo, using all of his tentacles to attack Mila Rose. Mila Rose took the full brunt of the attack. Panzer followed up by hitting Mila Rose with his shield, aiming for her head. When the blunt attack connected, Mila rose Made contact with the ground and bounced off the hard ground of Hueco Mundo. Panzer followed up with one last attack, swinging his shield arm and hitting her, sending her flying.
Sung-Sun: For mindless soldiers, they're definitely coordinated. Did (Y/N) teach them how to fight like this?
Mila Rose got up, the wounds on her body being made very apparent.
Mila Rose: Obviously. If this was the original Luppi, he would never fight as intelligent as this...
Sung-Sun: They took a disadvantage and turned it around in their favor. Despite us having the numbers advantage, they're making up for it with great combination attacks.
Apacci: So what do we do?
Sung-Sun: Allow me to take the lead on this.
...
Sung-Sun: Muda
The area around Panzer and Luppi became foggy as the area was clouded in smoke. Panzer and Luppi stood back to back to ensure they weren't flanked, however, it was hard to sense or see anything.
In an instant, Panzer was tackled by Mila Rose, leaving Luppi wide open. Apacci rushed Luppi while she had the opportunity. Luppi tried to defend himself with his tentacles, but Apacci dodge all the attack attempts and landed a fierce dropkick.
From Sung-Sun's sleeve, multiple snakes came out, wrapping themselves around Luppi and Panzer, restraining them.
Sung-Sun: Now, let's give it all we got.
Apacci: Way ahead of you!
Mila Rose: On it!
All three arrancars fired a Cero at the same time at the two opposing arrancars.
*BOOM*
The explosion was massive covering almost the entire battle field. More smoke covered the area as the sand from Hueco Mundo fell from the sky from the resulting blast.
*cough cough*
Apacci: Hey... *cough* Did we get them?
Mila Rose: We had to. We had them binded.
As the smoke slowly cleared the area, the two soldiers were nowhere to be found. In their place, Wiz stood there, and behind her were... 2 coffins?
Wiz: Quite the light show you put on. I have to say, I'm impressed.
Apacci: Huh? Who are you supposed to be?
Sung-Sun: May I assume you're another arrancar?
Wiz: Indeed! I'm sorry for being late to the party, but from here on out, I will be your opponent.
Mila Rose: No offense but you hardly look up to the task.
Wiz: Looks can be deceiving. You're looking at the one and only member of (Y/N) (L/N)'s fraccion!
Sung-Sun: Huh? I'm a bit confused. Sure, (Y/N) may have the abilities of a Hollow but he's still a Shinigami. Why would he have a fraccion?
Apacci: She's just spouting nonsense! Let's just dust her and be done with it!
(End Song)
Wiz: You can try it. But you won't succeed. You all will find out soon enough the vast difference of power between you and I.
https://youtu.be/x-dulmqX2_0
Apacci was the first one to approach Wiz. Apacci threw a punch which Wiz effortlessly grabbed and retaliated with a kick to the face followed up by a kick to the stomach. Apacci got up and out of anger, casted Bala. However, Wiz just blocked them all with her parasoul and pushed her back.
Apacci: You're one slippery bastard!
Wiz: You should use less vulgar language. (Y/N) seems to want to keep you all alive. If you're going to serve him when he becomes the next King of Hueco Mundo, you'll have to set a better example.
Apacci: What the hell are you talking about? My loyalty is to Lady Harribel and her only! Besides, why would a Shinigami take over anyway?
Wiz: That can be discussed once the fight is over.
Apacci rushed Wiz once again. Wiz jumped back, landing on one of the coffins she brought with her. Wiz tapped on the coffin and out of the coffin came Panzer, shield first, hitting Apacci directly in the face and dragging her into one of the pillars of Las Noches.
Wiz: You ran into that one yourself. Pay better attention to your surroundings next time. Also don't take such easy bait.
Mila Rose: Apacci's down for the count.
Sung-Sun: We shouldn't let our guard down. She's a dangerous one. She's cooperating with (Y/N)'s minions.
Wiz: I'm glad you've noticed.
Meanwhile (Y/N) POV
(Y/N) was in awe as he watched Wiz from the corner of his eye. She was capitalizing on Panzer and Luppi's are work and evens saved them when they were in a bad spot
He didn't know why, but (Y/N) felt something different about Wiz, but he didn't know what.
Harribel on the other hand wasn't sure who the newcomer was, but she knew she was way stronger than she was letting on. She overheard the conversation she had with her fraccion. She only let Apacci live because (Y/N) wanted them alive. She was implying that she could've easily killed them the moment she stepped foot on the battlefield.
Harribel: *thinking* Who is that girl, really?
Back with Wiz
Wiz: So, which one you are up next?
Mila Rose and Sung-Sun hesitated to approach Wiz as they were sure what other trickery she had up her sleeve.
Wiz: no volunteers, huh? No matter.
Wiz dug in her bag, taking out a comical looking bomb out of it. She then threw it in the vicinity of the two arrancars.
Wiz: Fetch!
Sung-Sun and Mila Rose quickly dodged out of the way.
Wiz: There's more where that came from!
Wiz took out more bombs and started throwing them. The explosion from the bombs kicked up sand and smoke, covering the battlefield. Blinding the opponent, Wiz decided to use the opportunity to tap the second coffin. This time, Luppi came out of the coffin, and immediately grabbed onto Mila Rose and Sung-Sun.
Sung-Sun: We fell for the same trick twice.
Mila Rose: Damnit!
Wiz: And this is where this fight ends.
Wiz whistled and a final coffin fell from the sky, landing on both girls. The coffin opened to reveal that it was full of bombs.
The bombs went off, causing a massive explosion that shook the surrounding area.
As the smoke cleared, it revealed Sung-Sun and Mila Rose in their base forms, barely hanging on.
Sung-Sun: How pitiful...
Mila Rose: Damn it... we failed you Lady Harribel...
Wiz: Stand proud, you fought well. It only made sense considering your opponent was I! Waleska Inez Zulema!
(End Song)
From a distance, Harribel was in shock. She's heard legends of an arrancar by that name.
Harribel turned to (Y/N)
Harribel: She claimed to be a member of your fraccion. Why is that?
(Y/N): It's a bit of a long story.
Harribel: Regardless, you both must be stopped. I was right about you, (Y/N). You're potential is far too high. The way you adapt. Your resourcefulness, Your versatile abilities, and your way of attaining allies. You're too much of a wildcard to Aizen's plan.
(Y/N): You give me too much credit. I haven't done much if I'm being honest.
Harribel: No, I'm just saying what I think. Now then-
Just then Harribel and (Y/N) were interrupted by multiple spiritual pressures entering the battlefield.
(Y/N): Why did things go so wrong...
(Y/N) looked over to in the distance to see Ichigo had defeated Grimmjow but another Espada was face to face with him. And next to Ichigo was-
(Y/N): *thinking* Is that Nel? How did she get so huge?
(Y/N) realized that Nel's mask was no longer cracked. Nel took the form of a grown woman and it seems like Nel was going to fight the new Espada in Ichigo's place.
There was still one last spiritual pressure to talk about. (Y/N) turned his attention to the last newcomer and saw a man with shaggy brown hair. He made his way right next to Harribel.
???: You're fraccion looks like they're about to croak any minute now...
Harribel: Do not worry, I'll have this situation cleaned up in a second. I'll be able to get them to an infirmary before we head out to the World of the Living.
The Espada in question looked over in Wiz's direction and his reaction shifted slightly.
???: With that girl of the field, that's highly unlikely. It's a bit of a drag but I'll help you out this once. If we let her run loose we'll have more work to deal with. I'd rather not have that.
https://youtu.be/cho2NsCKZZc
The Espada flew down to meet with Wiz.
Wiz: I didn't think I'd have the pleasure to fight the Number #1 Espada.
???: Don't get me wrong, I'd rather not. But I have a job to do and you'll certainly get in the way of that. I'll have to deal with you first.
Wiz: Well if that's the case. I'll have to go all out from the start.
Wiz's body started to glow as she started to grow in size. Her body morphed into a more adult body, similar to Nel. Wiz's outfit also started to change. Her top hat changed it's form into a Witch's hat and her dress turned into a uniform of sorts that came with a cape. As the glow faded, Wiz had a wide smirk on her face.
Wiz: Finally, my original form. It's good to be back.
???: *Signs* Baraggan isn't going to like this...
To be continued.
I know this chapter feels very Wiz focused but I promise next chapter will have a lot more of the (Y/N) and Harribel fight. I had to set up Wiz for the upcoming chapter. Speaking of Wiz.
Writing Wiz fight scenes have been extremely fun. Writing her feels like I'm writing a cartoon character sometimes. Also the nickname "Wiz" fits a lot more, now that she looks like an actual Wizard (Or in this case a Witch).
