Free Beating

Orihime didn't move to check on him and just waited for him to do the walk of shame. When Ggio emerged from the rubble, his jaw was still hanging loose to one side. He pushed it into place and the muscles around his neck tightened, locking the jaw back into place.

"How dare you attack me while—"

With another quick Shunpo she appeared slightly crouched in front of Ggio and give him a solid uppercut. He was able to lean back in time, but the force of the punch caused his chin to split open and bleed.

"You done spewing sewage out of your mouth?"

Being snubbed twice, he attempted to kick at her following the momentum of leaning back. However, Orihime blocked with her leg and wrapped her ankle around his calf before sending a punch toward his chest.

Ggio was preparing to dodge just before the fist made contact, but five inches in front of the fist, he could feel something collide into his chest. This knocked the wind out of him, and since Orihime had her leg behind his, he did a backflip into the building again.

Orihime sensed a high Reiatsu coming from him and put her hands forward clasped into each other. When the Cero beam burst through the large cloud of smoke, it landed where her knuckles were pointed. However, instead of making contact with her hand, it hit an invisible barrier and scattered in all directions.

"I knew it, there is some sort of barrier around your fists."

"Looks like you found me out, that's right. Even in the sealed form, I have full control over Hanataba's barriers around me. A weak attack like your fists or Cero can't break through."

Orihime stood gallantly and revealed the Zanpakuto at her hilt. It flashed in an emerald light and changed into its rapier form. Ggio took out his Zanpakuto, unwilling to keep underestimating Orihime. He only chuckled because what he had shown so far was only scratching the surface of his speed and strength.

When he disappeared, Orihime was actually shocked. She realized that Soi Fon was genuine when he was able to sneak attack her with his speed. If his opponent isn't ready for it, this kind of speed would definitely catch you off guard. She saw the short sword coming for her throat just in time to dodge out of the way. However, he was still able to follow up with a kick to her torso.

"Heh, I see. So, there you need to consciously prepare the barrier. So as long as I am faster than you, you're dead."

With his new knowledge his speed shot up another degree. Orihime began blocking him, leg to leg, barrier to sword, and fist to fist. They reached the speed where both her and Ggio were exceeding the speed of light and she had to rely on her spiritual perception to see what was happening around her.

Ggio seemed to notice an opening and went for a strike he knew Orihime couldn't block. When his sword and fist met with barriers, Orihime punched him in the chest, releasing a torrent of spiritual energy in the form of a red beam from her fist.

He intentionally jumped backward creating space between the two of them. There was now a large hole on the left side of his chest below his collar bone. It began to regenerate slowly, but he gritted his teeth in anger.

"You tricked me!"

"You are the one who assumed my barriers limitations. Hanataba doesn't need me to command the barriers to work. Once released, it becomes instinctual."

Orihime was loving this. Not going all out, hiding information, and then explaining it in a sassy way. This was the romance of Bleach. Ggio's annoyed and betrayed look made her chuckle. He wasn't holding back anymore and released his Resurreccion. Two blades extend out from his forearms and a third blade hung from his long braid.

"Bite Off, Tigre Estoque!"

'No violins, must be too weak.'

"I will show you what speed is, you will regret pushing me—"

Orihime cut him off by drawing her Zanpakuto and sending a thrust towards his chest. He blocked it by crossing his swords, but his swords started to glow in emerald light, with cracks appearing throughout. Orihime sheathed her sword and created some distance.

While Ggio was trying to force out the invasive Reiatsu breaking down his sword, Orihime held her palm out while holding her wrist. Three tendrils of light shot out and ensnared the distracted Ggio. Then she held her arm up into the sky. A large, pitch black ball of gravitational energy began forming. Nearby rubble even began to shake as the gravity was increasing. She then pushed the ball up above her head.

Seeing the threat, Ggio struggled to break free from the bindings. The gravitational force was steadily increasing and he became more nervous. He blasted his arm with Cero to slip out of the tendrils and tried to attack Orihime directly.

However, she was covered in layers of transparent shields. He flailed at them pointlessly while Orihime held her hand up focusing on the ball of gravity. Rubble and nearby building material began to be pulled towards the ball.

Everyone on the battlefield stopped for a second to see a giant black ball forming into miniature planet. Orihime chuckled and felt the need brag. When the gravitational force became too much, Ggio was pulled into the ball as well, getting buried in rubble.

"You will know true pain, Chibaku Tensei!"

Beams of red shot out from the point where Ggio was buried and he broke out with a large muscular form. He was attempting to free himself from the gravitational force but it just became stronger and stronger. Orihime was no longer able to keep the Reikoromo up, but the power of the miniature black hole was even pulling on other battlefields.

At this point, Ggio was completely buried. He desperately tried to launch the fang rockets from his mask but after penetrating through a few layers they were pulled back into the gravitational force. Orihime waved her hand downward and slammed the planet into fake Karakura town, causing a cataclysmic explosion which sent tremors to every battlefield. After the dust settled, there was no response from Ggio. Orihime could sense his Reiatsu was dissipating.

Orihime jumped over next to Soi Fon and beamed at seeing her shocked expression. Although the attack seemed to use a lot of spiritual power, the conversion between spiritual power and gravitational force was really cheap. This was definitely not a Kido that just anyone could use.

"Not bad. I can see why Lady Yoruichi vouched for you. Did you create that move just then?"

"Thank you, Captain. I—I had some inspiration from something I saw once. I can't take all the credit…"

Orihime embarrassingly scratched her cheek at the origin of that attack. Not only did she copy the name, but also the line used. At the time, she just went with the flow and thought it was really cool. But looking back she was really cringy at that moment. She even has orange hair!

"Can you use another one on him?"

Soi Fon gestured towards Baraggan on his throne. He had destroyed his armrest in a fit of rage at seeing all four of his subordinates get beaten. Apparently, when Orihime distracted everyone with her spell, Omaeda too the chance to take out his opponent.

"I could, but its very slow and leaves me vulnerable. It's also indiscriminate."

She nodded at that explanation and waited for him to make a move. Baraggan stands up from his throne and takes out his axe. His Reiatsu spikes once he draws his weapon, causing the throne behind him to be obliterated.

"Since your subordinates dared to kill this King's subordinates, I shall kill them in front of you before dealing with you. I am the God-King of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan Louisenbairn. My aspect is death."

Orihime's eyes dilate as her instinct's kick in. Baraggan is already standing next to her and places his hand on her shoulder. Every bone in her arm breaks due to the strange Reiatsu that invades it. Orihime manages to reject it and heal her arm back. The trio jumps back to create some distance, with visible shock at his speed.

"Rot, Arrogante. You see, Soul Reapers, my power is death. Nothing can escape the erosion of time."

The buildings immediately beneath him began to rot away and crumble. As he walked towards them, Omaeda tried to attack with his Zanpakuto. However, the large ball he threw instantly slowed down once it reached a certain distance. Baraggan gently touches the Zanpakuto and a purple rot begans to spread causing the Zanpakuto to crumble and approach Omaeda's hand.

"Let go, you idiot!"

Soi Fan tries to prevent him from getting infected with the rot, but some of it touches her hand. Her hand begins to age and fall apart, down to bone. Just before she cuts off her arm to prevent the spread, Orihime slices at the purple rot with Hanataba. The rot disappears and her hand is healed back to normal.

"You reject the power of death… I do not understand why Aizen left you alive. I will correct his mistake."
