Grimmjow’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second as the wave of energy surged towards him. But then, his lips curled into a defiant smirk. With a growl, he thrust his arm forward, his reiatsu flaring brilliantly. "Gran Rey Cero!"
A swirling sphere of blue energy formed at his fingertips, crackling with destructive power. Grimmjow released the cero, the beam roaring to life and colliding with Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho. The resulting explosion rocked the entire street, sending shockwaves that shattered nearby windows and uprooted trees.
As the dust and debris settled, both fighters were still standing, though visibly worn from the clash. Ichigo’s breathing was heavy, sweat trickling down his brow. Grimmjow, on the other hand, seemed to revel in the chaos, his eyes alight with feral joy.
"You've gotten stronger, Kurosaki," Grimmjow admitted, rolling his shoulders as if loosening up for the next round. "But so have I. Don't think for a second that you're the only one who's been training."
Ichigo didn’t respond with words. Instead, he raised Zangetsu and charged, his determination unwavering. Their swords met again, the force of their strikes creating shockwaves that rippled through the air. Ichigo’s strikes were precise and controlled, driven by his need to protect, while Grimmjow’s were wild and fierce, fueled by his lust for battle. Grimmjow suddenly shifted his stance, his speed increasing as he began to move unpredictably. Ichigo struggled to keep up, blocking blows that came from seemingly every direction. Then, with a cunning feint, Grimmjow slipped past Ichigo's defenses and delivered a devastating punch to his midsection. Ichigo doubled over in pain, but before he could recover, Grimmjow was on him again, his claws aiming for a lethal strike.
But Ichigo wasn’t done yet. Gritting his teeth, he channeled his reiatsu into his arm, catching Grimmjow’s wrist mid-strike. The force of their collision sent sparks flying, the air around them crackling with raw energy. With a roar, Ichigo swung Zangetsu in a powerful upward arc, forcing Grimmjow to leap back to avoid being bisected. Ichigo took a deep breath, his eyes locking onto Grimmjow's. "I’m not here to enjoy the fight, Grimmjow. I’m here to end it."
Grimmjow's grin widened, but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Then end it if you can, Kurosaki." With a roar, Grimmjow launched himself at Ichigo, his movements a blur. Ichigo met him head-on, their blades clashing with a thunderous force. This time, Grimmjow didn’t let up. He pressed his advantage, his attacks a relentless storm that pushed Ichigo to his limits.
But Ichigo had more than just raw power. He had purpose. As Grimmjow swung for his head, Ichigo ducked and countered with a sweeping kick, catching Grimmjow off guard and sending him stumbling back. Without missing a beat, Ichigo leapt forward, Zangetsu a blur of motion.
Grimmjow snarled, blocking the strike but barely able to deflect the force behind it. He twisted, aiming a punch at Ichigo’s side, but Ichigo was ready. He caught Grimmjow's fist, his grip ironclad, and with a burst of reiatsu, he threw the Espada across the street.
Grimmjow crashed into a building, the impact leaving a massive crater in the wall. He stood up slowly, dust and debris falling from his shoulders. His eyes met Ichigo's, and for a moment, there was a flicker of something almost like respect.
But it was gone as quickly as it had appeared. Grimmjow charged again, his reiatsu flaring even brighter. Ichigo braced himself, his own energy rising to meet the challenge. This time, when their blades met, there was no holding back. Every strike was a clash of wills, a test of their resolve.
Ichigo could feel the weight of every life he was protecting, every promise he had made. And he knew that no matter what, he could not afford to lose. With a final, desperate surge of power, Ichigo pushed Grimmjow back. He raised Zangetsu high, his reiatsu swirling around him in a vortex of black and red. "This ends now, Grimmjow!"
Grimmjow’s eyes widened as Ichigo brought Zangetsu down with all his might, the blade cutting through the air like a scythe. In that moment, Grimmjow knew he was facing not just a warrior, but a protector. And that was all the reason he needed to keep fighting.
