(Y/N) made his way towards Soi-Fon and Baraggan. He landed right beside Soi-Fon and Omaeda. Baraggan, at the sight of (Y/N), looked intrigued.

Baraggan: You're one of the invaders of Hueco Mundo. We had word that you were captured.

Soi-Fon: (Y/N)? How did you get here? And what does he mean by you being captured?

(Y/N): It's a bit of a long story...

(Y/N) turned his attention to Baraggan.

(Y/N): I assume you're Baraggan Louisenbairn?

Baraggan: So you know about me, brat?

(Y/N): I've heard stories, but seeing you in person I can see why you were King of Heuco Mundo.

Baraggan: What would an insignificant being like you know about being King?

(Y/N): Can't say I know much, however if you're truly the King of Hueco Mundo-

(Y/N) drew his scythe.

(Y/N): Then I'm here to challenge you for the throne.

Baraggan alongside Soi-Fon and Omaeda looked at (Y/N) in confusion. The few seconds of silence was broken by an outburst of laughter from Baraggan.

Baraggan: Not only are you ignorant! you're also arrogant! You should know your place and stop spouting nonsense!

(Y/N): You should start looking for a successor. You could kick the bucket at any moment, gramps. I'm sure (M/N) La Parca thought the same.

Baraggan's attitude immediately changed as he heard the name.

Baraggan: You... Boy... Where did you hear that name?

(Y/N): Oh? Now you're taking me seriously?

Baraggan: Answer me!

(Y/N): If you wanna know so badly, fine. (M/N) is my mother.

Baraggan took a good look at (Y/N).

Baraggan: Like Mother like Son. They know nothing about what it means to rule.

(Y/N): I didn't come here to challenge you to rule. I just want to fulfill my mother's dying wish. If she can't be here to do it, I'll do it for her.

*thinking* Even if its all for 5 seconds

Baraggan: You truly are a child. Don't think for a second, you will be getting away scot-free because of that fact.

(Y/N): This is war. There is no holding back.

Baraggan: At least you're not entirely ignorant.

(Y/N) turned towards Soi-Fon and Omaeda.

(Y/N): Soi-Fon. Omaeda. Let's take him down together.

Soi-Fon: Of course. Do you really think I was going to let you fight him alone? That would be suicide. Besides, once this fight is over, you're going to explain what that whole conversation was about. I won't be taking no for an answer.

(Y/N): I know you wouldn't. It's not like I have anything to hide.

Omaeda: I'll back you two up...

(Y/N): Right...

(Y/N) leaned over to Soi-Fon

(Y/N): *whispers* Is he good support or is he just saying that because he's-

Soi-Fon: He's scared, yes.

Omaeda: You could've at least whispered, Captain!

Soi-Fon: Don't worry, Omaeda.

Omaeda: Huh? What?

Soi-Fon: I'm not expecting anything from you. Stay there and watch. If you die, (Y/N)'s going to take your spot as lieutenant if you don't mind.

(Y/N): You should have more faith in him, he's "YOUR" lieutenant... And at least consult me about that before you announce it-

(End Song)

(Y/N) was cut off by Baraggan swinging his axe that easily cleaved through the building they were standing on. Soi-Fon flash stepped behind Baraggan and went for a kick aimed for the head, however at the very last second, Baraggan grabbed Soi-Fon's leg and threw her towards the neighboring building. Luckily, (Y/N) caught her in the nick of time.

Soi-Fon: When I get within striking distance, the speed of my kick suddenly slows down! It's not as though my movements are slowed because my Spiritual Pressure Is being suppressed. My movements themselves are slowing down!

(Y/N): Do you think his ability controls gravity?

Soi-Fon: I'm not sure.

Baraggan looked down on Soi-Fon and (Y/N) arrogantly.

Baraggan: Can't figure it out? You two must be bewildered because you can't decide the nature of my power. Remember I said that each Espada signifies an aspect of death? It is each Espada's beliefs,their reason for existence, and at times it relates to their abilities. The aspect of death I signify is "aging." Aging, means "time." The largest and most absolute power of death that stands in the way of all things that exist.

In a blink of an eye, Baraggan was suddenly behind Soi-Fon.

Baraggan: If I touch you with intent like this-

Baraggan touched Soi-Fon's shoulder.

Baraggan: -that alone is enough to cause your bones to age.



At that moment, Soi-Fon's entire arm was broken. (Y/N)'s eyes widened in shock. His mother fought someone this insane? And lived on multiple occasions?

Baraggan: It's broken! That can't be!

Baraggan: You can't comprehend it. That's how death is. And from here on, until this battle ends, your mind will be unable to comprehend anything that is about to occur.

Soi-Fon: What?!

Baraggan: Are you ready to die now?

Rot... Arrogante.

(Y/N) watched as Baraggan entered his resurreccion. Baraggan's skin melted from his body, leaving nothing but a skeleton. His clothes changed as he was draped in a purple cloak, with a pitch-black tattered fur collar around his neck.



(Y/N): This has got to be some sort of sick joke...

As Baraggan walked, the rooftops started to shatter.

Soi-Fon: What is that form?! His footsteps are rotting and crumbling away the rooftop!

Baraggan: I told you earlier... I signify aging. All things near me age...and die off.

Baraggan turned towards (Y/N).

Baraggan: What do you have to say now, after challenging me?

(Y/N): *thinking* Way to steal my outfit...

(Y/N) then took a deep breath. After what Baraggan explained, his powers are to rapidly age things. After all, everything eventually dies due to old age. However, would that really apply to (Y/N)?

(Y/N) chuckles...

Baraggan: What so funny, boy?

(Y/N): You say aging signifies death, and you're right. But let me ask you a question. What does age mean to an immortal being?

Baraggan: What?

(Y/N): Ban-

(Y/N) raised his scythe at Baraggan.

-kai

In an instant, (Y/N) was in his black cloak, similar to Baraggan's Purple cloak. And to top it all off, (Y/N) activated Hollowfication.

(Y/N): Isn't it ironic? We look similar, yet we're pretty much antithesis to each other. You, a being of death while I am a being that cannot die.

Baraggan: You? An immortal? Is that your ability? I see, so that's why you were so eager to challenge me. Let's see if you can truly run from death.

(Y/N) looked over to Soi-Fon and healed her arm.

(Y/N): I'll take the hits. You won't be able to recover from his aging abilities like I would.

Soi-Fon: Then I'll find an opening to land a killing blow.

(Y/N) could only chuckle.

Soi-Fon: What's so funny? This isn't a time to be laughing.

(Y/N): You're right, it's just... I remembered something. Remember in the Soul Society, when we fought Kenpachi and you said you hoped that would be the last time we teamed up together.

Soi-Fon recalled the moment and immediately groaned.

Soi-Fon: Things were different back then.

(Y/N): Yeah... We'll reminisce on that later. Right now, we have a King to dethrone.

Soi-Fon: Correction: "You" have a king to dethrone.

(Y/N): Right. Let's go.

To be continued.

I had a lot of fun writing the upcoming battle.
