The Experiments of the Mad Scientist

Tatsuki, Uryu, and Pesshe exit the room of large red pillars and start to run through the hallways once again. They find no Hollows or Espada for a little while. All they can see are long empty hallways and the desert outside. They continue to run until they just stop.

"What's wrong?" asked Pesshe.

"Chad's spiritual pressure has disappeared," said Uryu.

"I don't know who that Chad guy is, but may he rest in peace," said Pesshe.

"He's not dead! He probably just passed out or something. We have to get to him before someone finishes him off," said Tatsuki.

"No," said Uryu.

"What do you mean no? We have to save our friend!" said Tatsuki.

"Did you forget why we came here in the first place? We came here to save Orihime. Chad already knew that he could die if he came, but he didn't care. I don't think he's dead, but we have more important issues to deal with right now. Plus, I sense Renji's spiritual pressure up ahead. We have to help him fight whoever he's fighting. He's struggling," said Uryu.

"Fine. After we help Renji, I'm going after Chad myself," said Tatsuki.

"Do whatever you want. Come on. Renji's up ahead," said Uryu.

Uryu, Tatsuki, and Pesshe continue to run down the long hallway. They get to the part of the hallway where they sense Renji's spiritual pressure and stop running.

"He should be here, but there's a wall here," said Uryu.

"That means that he must be under us. Step back," said Tatsuki.

As Pesshe and Uryu step back, Tatsukia activates her special ability and kicks the wall. Instead of a portion of the wall falling, nearly the entire wall comes crashing down.

"Oops. I didn't think my kick would be that strong," said Tatsuki embarrassingly.

"You guys came?" asked Renji.

"We sensed your dwindling spiritual pressure and came to help. You don't look like you're in good shape," said Uryu.

"Don't pester me, Quincy," said Renji.

"Your kicks are pretty strong, little lady. You seem like someone that I would want to dissect," said the Espada.

"I won't be dissected by anyone and don't call me little lady!" exclaimed Tatsuki.

"I guess I should give my name first. It would be disrespectful not to. I'm the octava Espada, Szayelaporro Granz," said Szayelaporro.

"Number eight, huh. That's a relief. Your ass beating will be easier because you're so weak," said Tatsuki.

"Don't act like you're so strong. You don't even have a number. Plus, who are you guys?" said Szayelaporro.

"Tatsuki Arisawa. Remember that because it's the name of the person that will send you to Hell," said Tatsuki.

"You're very cocky. Hopefully, you're not all talk," said Szayelaporro.

"She may be, but I'm not," said Uryu.

Szayelaporro turns his head and sees Uryu standing behind him. Uryu quickly places a Seele Schneider in his reishi bow and quickly shoots in at the Octava Espada. Szayelaporro is unable to dodge and the Seele Schneider lodges itself under his throat. Szayelaporro falls to his knees, seemingly dead.

"He was supposed to be mine, Uryu!" exclaimed Tatsuki.

"Stop complaining! You should appreciate that I dealt with him so easily!" exclaimed Uryu.

The Octava Espada starts to crazily laugh, interrupting the mini argument. The Seele Schneider snaps in half and disappears.

"I should have known that you were a Quincy! I want to dissect the both of you!" exclaimed Szayelaporro.

"How is it possible that you tanked Seele Schneider?" asked Uryu.

"Are you a fool! Did you believe that one arrow from you could defeat me! Did you believe that just because it went in that it worked! I'll enhance you after I'm done experimenting with you!" exclaimed Szayelaporro.

Uryu instantly shoots multiple arrows at the Espada, but they don't affect him at all. A Hollow behind him tries to smash him with its fist, but Tatsuki jumps down and kicks the Hollow's head off.

"If your arrows didn't work on him, then I won't be able to beat him alone. We have to work together if we want to win," said Tatsuki.

"Don't act like I'm not standing here? You guys hopped into my fight, but I won't let you guys outshine me," said Renji.

"How can we beat this guy?" asked Tatsuki.

"He isn't too strong, but he can take a punch. We will need to hit him with an attack that's fatal and very strong," said Renji.

"Tatsuki, Renji, hold him down. I need to get behind him," said Uryu.

"What are you going to do?" asked Renji.

"You'll see," said Uryu.

"How much time do you need?" asked Tatsuki.

"Twenty seconds should be enough," said Uryu.

"That should be easy enough," said Tatsuki.

Tatsuki punches her fist.

"Let's teach this geek a lesson," said Tatsuki.

"I'm following your lead," said Renji.

"So, this will be a test of strength? This should be exciting. Stand back, guys. I want to analyze their teamwork," said Szayelaporro.

"You don't want any help? You're going to pay for that stupid mistake!" said Tatsuki.

"Will I? Show me your strength then," said Szayelaporro.

Tatsuki dashes towards Szayelaporro. She jumps up and prepares a powerful kick. She then darts towards the Octava Espada and prepares to destroy him. Believing that the kick won't do too much damage, Szayelaporro just puts his arm up to block the attack, but this was a mistake. Once her foot makes contact, his arm is nearly broken. The ground beneath them cracks and breaks.

"How is it possible? That kick shouldn't have been enough to do this much damage," said Szayelaporro.

"I told you made a stupid mistake. Renji, now!" said Tatsuki.

"I'm on it," said Renji.

Szayelaporro looks up and sees the soul reaper above him. Renji sticks out his hand.

"Hado Number 31: Shakkaho!" exclaimed Renji.

A red sphere of energy appears in Renji's outstretched hand. Renji launches the Kido attack and it hits the Octavo Espada. The impact of the attack creates a medium-sized explosion. Szayelaporro gets severely burned by the attack. Even Tatsuki gets harmed a little bit.

"Just as I predicted," said Uryu.

Szayelaporro turns around and sees the Quincy standing behind him with a Seele Schneider in his hands.

"By taking a combination of Tatsuki and Renji's attacks, I was able to get behind you. You seem to like to look down on your opponents. You just sit there and allow us to attack you. That was your mistake," said Uryu.

"So what about it, Quincy? Are you saying that you have won?" asked Szayelaporro.

"The simple answer would be yes. Now, you will suffer the consequence," said Uryu.

Uryu places the Seele Schneider on the ground. The smoke clears and reveals four more Seele Schneider implanted into the ground. The Reiatsu from the weapons seep out and appear under the Espada.

"What is this?" asked Szayelaporro.

"You may act like a genius, but there are even some things that you just don't understand. Should I explain your situation to everyone here? It's the end for you, Szayelaporro Granz," said Uryu.

Uryu pulls out a silver tube of liquid and pours it on the Seele Schneider in front of him. The Reiatsu from the Seele Schneider creates a Quincy Sign and traps the Espada.

"Dammit!" exclaimed Szayelaporro.

The Reiatsu explodes, seemingly killing the mad scientist.

"Is he finally dead?" asked Tatsuki.

"He should be. Sprenger should have been a powerful enough ability to destroy him," said Uryu.

"I'm not dead yet!" exclaimed Szayelaporro.

The three squadmates turn around and are shocked that the Espada is still alive.

"How is he still alive?" asked Tatsuki.

"I don't know, but that bastard is a strong one," said Renji.

"How are you able to stand after taking that much damage?" asked Uryu.

"I didn't know of that Quincy technique! It's so strong and deals so much damage! I must have it! Only I can have it!" exclaimed Szayelaporro.

Szayelaporro grabs a Hollow next to him and takes a big chunk out of its mask. His injuries completely heal like no battle even happened.

"Lumina!" exclaimed a Hollow.

"Shut up! We'll create a new Lumina later," said Szayelaporro.

"How did you heal that fast?" asked Uryu.

"My Fraccion are just a method of recovery. If I eat them, I heal instantly. I made them for that only purpose," said Szayelaporro.

"You monster," said Uryu.

"I think that you meant to say genius," said Szyaelaporro.

Szyaelaporro turns around and starts to walk away.

"Where are you going! We're not done with you!" exclaimed Tatsuki.

"I'm going to change my clothes. Would you want to fight me while I wear this ragged attire?" said Szyaelaporro.

"You still dare to underestimate us after we nearly killed you. You're insane," said Tatsuki.

"Shut up and use your small brains to plan out your next moves. I will be doing the same thing as I change my clothes," said Szyaelaporro.

As Szyaelaporro walks away, the group starts to run out of the room. They exit the room and run through the long hallways.

"Why are we running!" exclaimed Dondochakka.

"It should be obvious. We came here to save Orihime, not fight some Espada. Even though I would love to beat that bastard, we have more important things to do," said Tatsuki.

"Now that we have Renji, we can go save Chad and Rukia after we get Orihime," said Uryu.

"The opening is up there. We can finally escape that mad scientist creep," said Renji.

As the group runs through the opening, they find that the large room is full of Szyaelaporro's Fraccion.

"These are his Fraccion. Why would they be here?" said Uryu.

"It's because we're in the same room," said Renji.

"Welcome back. Did you enjoy your run?" said Szyaelaporro.

"How did you change so fast? It has only been a minute," said Tatsuki.

"I like to do things very quickly. Now then, let's begin the second act," said Szyaelaporro.

"How did you know that we would be here?" asked Uryu.

"I know the layout of this place like it's my flesh. There are cameras in all of the walls and all of the corridors can be arranged by my own will. When you guys ran out of the room, I simply just rearranged the rooms so you guys would just end up back in this room," said Szyaelaporro.

"You're not even a challenge. We easily destroyed you, so what will change now," said Tatsuki.

"Losing to low-level warriors like yourselves was a bad joke. It's an embarrassment that I will have to use my full power, but I can't lose here," said Szyelaporro.

Szyaelaporro pulls out his Zanpakuto and sticks it in his mouth.

"Slurp, Fornicarus," said Szyelaporro.

Szyaelaporro's body starts to puff up and explodes, leaving blood all over the place. After blowing up his shell, Szayelaporro has turned into a butterfly-like creature.

"What the hell is that?" asked the group.

"Now, we can officially begin the second act. To be more accurate, this is the end of the final act," said Szyaelaporro.

Szyaelaporro's back bursts open and clones of the group jump into the room.

"Are these copies of us?" asked Renji.

"It should be pretty obvious. Instead of fighting you guys, you guys can fight yourselves and hopefully kill each other," said Szyaelaporro.

"It seems zen-like. Wise masters usually say that you have to fight yourselves before you fight your enemy. This is such a bad joke," said Uryu.

"This is going to be fun," said Tatsuki.
