(Y/N) was in shock. Wiz had changed forms.

(Y/N): Is- Is that Wiz's release form?

Harribel: No. The one known as Waleska has regained her true form.

(Y/N): True form?

Harribel: Legend has it, there was an arrancar that rivaled the King of Hueco Mundo in strength. There was only one person she trusted to be a part of her fraccion.

(Y/N): I know the story. (M/N) La Parca and her right hand, Waleska Inez Zulema.

Harribel: I'm surprised you know it.

(Y/N): Wiz herself told me the story. (M/N) was my mother.

Harribel was surprised by the information but it immediately made sense.

Harribel: So that's why she claims to be a part of your fraccion. It all makes sense. Now then, let's wrap up this fight.

(Y/N): Right.

https://youtu.be/1lBNKtLfTEk

Harribel in an instant started to fire multiple Ola Azul's. (Y/N) dodge all of them.

(Y/N): *thinking* She's trying to keep me from closing the distance while also trying to stop me from throwing my scythe. I just need to stop her from moving.

(Y/N) casted Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō, but Harribel evaded the spell. It seemed like Harribel was adapting to his tactics.

(Y/N): *thinking* Damn it! Despite the advantage I have in Hueco Mundo, she still has the upper hand on me. Not only that, she still hasn't used her release form yet!

Just then, (Y/N) a bit of his spiritual energy returned, signifying that one of his arrancars had returned to him. (Y/N) then had an idea.

(Y/N) then flash stepped towards Harribel, once again moving fast enough to create after images.

Harribel: That trick didn't work the first time, and it certainly won't work the second time.

Harribel was able to lock onto (Y/N) then again. But just as she was about to hit him, a sword materialized out of thin air, blocking her attack as (Y/N) summoned Siegfried. Siegfried's sudden appearance caught Harribel off guard for a split second, long enough for (Y/N) to land a slash to her back.

(Y/N) followed up his attack by casting Bakudō #61. Rikujōkōrō again, this time being successful.

(Y/N): *thinking* Alright, all or nothing.

(Y/N) then started casting an incantation.

(Y/N): "Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, gray fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired."

Hadō #91. Senju Kōten Taihō

Similar to his fight with Hisagi, (Y/N) summoned 10 pink energy blasts that all homed in on Harribel. However, right as the spell was about to make contact with Harribel, (Y/N) heard something that he didn't want to hear.

Harribel: Hunt, Tiburón.

Water surrounded Harribel, blocking the spell in the process. Harribel then cut through the water, revealing her Resurrección.



All the previous damage she took was now healed and Harribel wasted no time returning to the fight.

(Y/N): I guess it's time to brainstorm another plan...

(Y/N) and Harribel clashed once again, however, Harribel's new weapon proved to be much more than (Y/N) could handle as the sword's increased size made it harder for him to reach Harribel. At this moment she had the advantage in range.

Harribel: I wanted to save my energy for the war but you've proven to be a problem.

Harribel overpowered (Y/N) as she knocked him into one of the pillars of Las Noches. Thankfully, Siegfried caught (Y/N) before he was thrown into the pillar.

Harribel kept up the pressure, as she pointed her sword towards (Y/N) and Siegfried like a sniper. Water started to come out of the gill-like slits out of her sword and covered the end of the blade.

Harribel: La Gota.

Harribel started to shoot water in the shape of a shark teeth. (Y/N) and Siegfried evaded the shots coming their way. As the projectile hit the floor, it caused a geyser of water with the impact of an explosion.

(Y/N): We cannot get hit by that. Alright, Siegfried, I need you to distract her for a few seconds.

(Y/N) casted Bakudō #26. Kyokkō to conceal his presence. Siegfried then charged his spiritual pressure.



Harribel then shot another barrage of La Gota at Siegfried. Siegfried, now powered up, reflected a few shots and evaded the last one and closed the distance between himself and Harribel. Harribel attempted to stab Siegfried but the arrancar sidestepped it and charged up a devastating sword slash.



Despite activating Hierro, the attack was still strong enough to cut through her skin. In retaliation, Harribel knocked back Siegfried with the blunt end of her sword, sending him flying.

Harribel: Now, where is he hiding?

Horrible couldn't see or sense (Y/N), much like when he used the technique earlier in the fight.

Harribel: If he won't come out voluntarily then I'll force him to.

Harribel raised her sword in the air

Harribel: Cascada.

Harribel summoned a surge of water that flooded the area. (Y/N), while in hiding, returned all of his summoned arrancars to prevent them from being hurt from the resulting attack. (Y/N) then released Bakudō #26. Kyokkō.

(Y/N): Preparations are complete.

(Y/N) reappeared from behind Harribel, attempting to aim for her neck but Harribel caught on just in time to narrowly avoid the attack. Harribel created distances between them but realized something odd. Attached to (Y/N)'s scythe was some sort of rope made of spiritual energy.

(Y/N): Bakudō #4. Hainawa

Instead of using the Bakudo spell on Harribel, (Y/N) used it on his scythe.

(Y/N): *thinking* I have to prevent Harribel from creating more distance between us.

(Y/N) thought of emulating Hisagi's Shikai, by using Bakudō #4. Hainawa as a tether for his scythe. (Y/N) remember how Hisagi was able to keep him at bay with his chain and sickle and tried to do the same.

(Y/N) throw his scythe, controlling the movement of his scythe with Bakudō #4. Hainawa. The first swing landed successfully, landing a slash into Harribel's shoulder.

Harribel quickly shot another La Gota at (Y/N). The water projectile landed a clean hit on (Y/N) causing a massive pillar of water to erupt. (Y/N) got up from the attack, bloodied and his Hollow mask half cracked.

(Y/N): She hits like a truck...

(Y/N) rushed back in throwing his scythe. Harribel knocked the scythe away and anticipated where (Y/N) would swing his scythe next.

(Y/N) Threw his scythe again, moving in a straight line. Harribel flew upwards to dodge the attack but (Y/N) predicted this and pulled on his tether upwards, dragging the scythe in the air and landing a successful hit on Harribel.



(Y/N) used this chance to go all out. (Y/N) attacked Harribel with a barrage of slashes.



(Y/N): *thinking* I might just win this!

Harribel: You were a fine opponent, (Y/N). I'll admit. Despite being enemies, This fight has taught me a lot about you. Although I said you'd be a threat to Lord Aizen, I do hope you stick around a bit longer.

(Y/N) charged in, hoping to land a lethal blow, however...

(Y/N): Huh?

The moment (Y/N) saw Harribel holding a familiar cube that he saw not too long ago. A Caja Negacion. The same cube Grimmjow used to seal Ulquiorra.

(End Song)

Harribel: I am terribly sorry that I had to cut this battle short. However, time is ticking.

(Y/N) was completely enveloped in the energy produced by the cube and sealed away.

(During the (Y/N) / Harribel Battle) Wiz's POV

???: Waleska... Would you please turn around and evacuate the premises?

Wiz: What's the matter, Starrk? I'm not a good enough opponent to motivate you? You may be one of the strongest Arrancars in existence but even you should know I'm probably one of the only arrancars left that can give you a challenge. That's all you ever wanted right? Someone you can call an equal.

Starrk: *scratches head* No offense, you may be strong but you're not (M/N) or Barragan... Besides, I'm not feeling a fight right now. I'm only here to capture the human girl and return her to her cell.

Wiz: I see... Unfortunately, I can't let you do that.

Starrk: Out of all people to fight, it had to be the Witch of Hueco Mundo*signs*. Why couldn't she have stayed hidden. This is a drag...

https://youtu.be/fhZ3Y_8_2Gk

Starrk drew his sword and slashed at Wiz multiple times, however, Wiz just dodged all of them.



Wiz: I realized you didn't bring little Lilynette with you. You truly don't want to take this fight seriously didn't you?

Starrk kept quiet as he fired a cero point blank at Wiz. Wiz created a barrier around herself in an instant to block the blast.

Wiz: Fly away!

Wiz created a gust of wind that blew Starrk back multiple feet.

Wiz: Smash Them!

Wiz then manipulated the ground around Starrk, creating a giant boulder made from the surrounding debris and dropped it on Starrk. Starrk, who was now under the boulder, cut through the rock with ease and got off the floor.

Starrk: You know you can't win so you're trying to keep me away from the girl, aren't you?

Wiz: Who knows~

Starrk then teleported out of sight. Wiz immediately teleported in the direction of Orihime to stop Starrk from getting closer to her.

Wiz: Eyes on me~

Wiz got close to Starrk and grabbed his hand that he held his sword in and started to freeze it. The ice started to spread throughout Starrk's body.

Starrk: What a pain...

Starrk raised his spiritual pressure, causing the ice to shatter. However, Wiz didn't let up. She attempted to freeze Starrk again, this time, freezing his legs. Starrk swung his sword at the ice and broke it. Wiz took this opportunity to place her hand in front of Starrk's face and charge another elemental attack.

Wiz: Fly Away!

Wiz casted another wind spell. This spell was a lot stronger than the last one. Starrk attempted to anchor himself in place by stabbing his sword into the ground. However this left him open for an attack.

Wiz: Burn!

A Magical circle materalized aboved Starrk as a huge pillar of fire was summoned, engulfing him completely.



Wiz: *thinking* This isn't looking good. (Y/N) or Ichigo needs to wrap up their fight quickly...

As Wiz was thinking that, Starrk swung his sword, clearing the flames that surrounded him.

Starrk: Are you done?

Wiz: Nope!

Starrk fired another Cero but Wiz materialized a mirror in front of her that reflected the cero right back at Starrk.

Starrk brushed off the attack and teleported in front of Wiz landing a slash on Wiz.

However Wiz simply turned into a cloud of smoke.

Starrk: A decoy?

The real Wiz appeared behind drawing her sword that was hidden in her parasoul. She swung her sword with finesse.

Starrk narrowly dodged it.

Wiz then charged Starrk, hitting him with precise strikes.



Starrk then regain control of the situation. Starrk watched Wiz's movements closely and started to block attacks. The impact from the clashing of blades was felt throughout Las Noches.

Starrk: You're getting serious, huh? I was hoping you wouldn't.

Wiz: For someone who's supposed to be stronger than I am, you certainly look more stressed than I do.

Starrk and Wiz traded blow for blow. Any hit Wiz landed on Starrk was returned in kind, however, much stronger.

Starrk eventually landed a kick that sent Wiz flying. As Wiz recovered from the attack, she started to cast a wind spell.

Starrk: You're getting too predictable, Witch.

Wiz: Heh, you really think so?

Wiz casted the spell, firing it directly at Starrk. Starrk simply dodged the attack by taking flight. Wiz then smirked.

Wiz: Rain Down!

Starrk looked up and realized what Wiz was planning. Above him was a rain cloud. The cloud let out a gigantic thunder strike, sending Starrk back down to the ground.

Starrk got up and brushed himself off.

Wiz: Still standing? Geez, you're not number 1 for nothing.

Starrk: I almost broke a sweat for a second. Maybe I was wrong about you.

Wiz: Was that a compliment I heard?

Starrk: You may stand a chance if you use your resurreccion.

Wiz: Fine then. If you're so eager to see it-

(End Song)

Just then a purple light illuminated the area. Wiz looked towards the source of the light and saw Harribel, using a Caja Negicion on (Y/N).

https://youtu.be/QGd8RS1TeJo

Wiz: (Y/N)!

*SWISH*

Wiz: Damn it!

Starrk took Wiz's quick distraction to sneak past her. Wiz took chase, trying to catch up, however Starrk was too quick. Wiz saw from a distance, Ichigo, Nel and another Shinigami who seemingly showed up not too long ago, finishing their fight against another Espada, Nnotira. They couldn't react to Starrk's sudden arrival as Starrk easily grabbed Orihime and disappeared in an instant.

Wiz couldn't catch up in time and lost track of his spiritual energy.

Wiz was furious at herself.

Wiz: (Y/N) got captured and I couldn't even stop his friend from getting captured. I'm no different from back then...

Wiz started to think about how she couldn't save (M/N). The same thing was happening all over again.

Wiz: I failed...

...

...

...

Wiz: No, I'm not going to let (Y/N) have the same fate.

Wiz looked over to Ichigo.

Wiz: Ichigo! We have a problem.

Ichigo looked over to Wiz confused.

Ichigo: Huh? Who are you?

Wiz: Huh? It's me Wiz! I returned to my original form, like Nel!

Ichigo: Really?

Wiz: Yes! Look, that's not important right now! Listen, the situation is far worse. (Y/N) was captured by Harribel, Espada #3!

Ichigo: What? No way... (Y/N) said he would've won!

Wiz: From the looks of it, (Y/N) was winning. Harribel wasn't looking too good. Harribel probably used Caja Negacion as a last resort.

Ichigo: Just like what Grimmjow did to Ulquiorra...

Wiz: Yes. However, hope isn't lost. Remember what Grimmjow said. "Caja Negacion is not something that's made to work against other Espada". (Y/N)'s Half Hollow. If he's strong enough to fight against an Espada as strong as Harribel, he can for sure break out of Caja Negacion. However by the time that happens he very well might be in the World of the Living. He'll basically break out during the middle of the war.

Ichigo: So you're saying (Y/N) will be fine?

Wiz: For a while, yes. (Y/N) will most likely use this time to regain his strength and heal up. However, he'll be confused about what's going on during the war. (Y/N) will have to adapt to the situation on the fly.

Ichigo: (Y/N)'s the kind of guy that can do something like that.

Wiz: For now, we should worry about Orihime. We must track her down. Ulquiorra must've broken out of the Caja Negacion that Grimmjow put him in by now. His first priority will be to capture Orihime. Which means Starrk is heading towards Ulquiorra's location.

Ichigo: Then let's go!

Nel: I-I'm coming to!

Nel entered the conversation between the two, also in her original form.

Wiz: You go on ahead... As much as I would like to assist you in rescuing Orihime, there's still another threat currently present.

Ichigo: Huh? Who?

Wiz: Yammy Llargo. The number #10 Espada.

Nel: I see what you're getting at. Yammy's release ability puts his raw strength above everyone else in the Espadas.

Wiz: Correct. Left unchecked, he can ruin our chance of escaping Hueco Mundo.

Ichigo: Then let's get to it! Let's save Orihime and (Y/N)!

Wiz and Nel: Right.

Wiz turned to the new Shinigami that was present.

Wiz: You! Can you direct me to the rest of your comrades? They'll need assistance taking out another Espada.

???: Eh? I guess.

Ichigo: Do your best, Wiz. You too Kenpachi!

Kenpachi: Hmph. Worry about yourself, Kurosaki.

The group had come up with a plan to save their comrades and they were ready to put it in motion.

To be continued.

I did my best to showcase in these last two chapters how much strategy (Y/N) is capable of and I hope I demonstrated it well. Things like working side by side with his Minions and using Bakudo spells to increase his scythe's range. I originally got this idea from the Ichigo vs White Ichigo fight, but in story I think (Y/N) would get the idea from Hisagi, who has a similar weapon to his.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. The ending of the (Y/N) vs Harribel fight. Now, I will admit. There's still a lot of questions about the Caja Negacion that have not been answered. For example, when someone breaks out of the Caja Negacion, do they get dropped off at a random location or do they use a Garganta to create a gateway to where they want to return to. Ulquiorra has been shown to return to the throne room, where he would most likely go rather than to the battle field where he was sealed at.

There's also the question of "does the Caja Negacion vanish after use or do the Espada that use it, hold onto the cube?". And if so, what happens if that espada travels to another realm (Soul Society or World of the Living). Does the prisoner reappear in Hueco Mundo or to the location of the person that seals them?

Because I don't have the answers to any of these questions (and it hasn't been elaborated upon) i took liberties in upcoming chapters about (Y/N)'s situation. I hope you guys don't mind.
