Seto smiled. "I know as much about you as you think you know about me. And, we both like it that way." Seto took note of the Ayakashi distance. "I think....I think its interesting that the hollow who would travel Hueco Mundo looking for ailing and dying hollows to show moments of peace in their past...It's interesting that you ask how it will end."
"A fact you bring up, why?"
"You want to know how this will end. I want to know why it started. Why did you side with Aizen?"

"With every decision, everything changes, Tetsuya." Koga stepped toward. "With every decision. My decision to join Sousuke Aizen was the same as yours. We saw an end that no one else could see. To get to that end, we had to live."
"And, now...Why do you stay?"
Koga laughed as he stepped toward the Shinigami. "Not for your Lord Aizen. He holds no more power in this realm. Neither do you."
"So, who rules this realm?"
"Rule has returned to the hollows...For now." Koga's gaze shifted quickly to the right then back to Tetsuya. "But, right now, it is imperative that you remember all of what you are. And, are capable of."
A sudden wave of unease wash over Seto as placed his hand to the hilt of his blade. "Why?"
"Because you will die if you don't." Koga took a step back. "And, I need you to live."

Teruo appeared behind the Shinigami. Before the man noticed or had a chance to react, he drove his right hand straight through the Shinigami's shoulder. "Oh, dear Dead One!"
Seto yelled out in pain. His eyes grew wide as Koga quickly disappeared. "Sada!" he growled struggling to move in the Ayakashi's grasp. He looked down at the the blood arm flexing through a hole in his shoulder.
Poison flowed from his mouth as he grinned over the Shinigami's shoulder. "Give me a reason to let you keep your arm, love...And, perhaps...Perhaps I will let you have it."

Seto growled as he reached behind him and grabbed Teruo. “Fuck you!” he shouted. He took a shallow breath as he let go of Teruo and shunpo’d forward. He was, for a moment, free of the Ayakashi’s hold. But, the damage had been done. Seto looked at his right now. He could barely move his fingers.
“I figured, love, we could start this fight bang.” Poison continued to flow from his lips.
Seto inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly. He did this a few times in an effort to calm himself. “I like you better when you sound a little less like me, Sada.” he growled. “But, you want a fight…I’ll gladly beat the fuck out of you with one arm!” Seto unsheathed his blade and called forth Chinmoku’s power.

Teruo licked the warm blood from his fingertips. He laughed at the Shinigami’s little display of power. “Well then, dear Dead One…Give it your all.”
Chinmoku hissed loudly as it pushed its way toward the Ayakashi, cutting through and tearing up the marble beneath them. As Chinmoku pushed Teruo away, Seto increased the distance by shunpoing as far as he could. “Shit…” he mumbled.
“Shit indeed.” grinning Teruo, appearing behind the Shinigami. He swung at the man who duked and dodged every swipe of his poison tipped nails. He caught the flesh of the Shinigami’s damaged arm with the tip of his nails and dug in. Tightening his hold, Teruo grinned. “Oh. Come now…Do fight back. I would rather this not end quickly.”

Seto tapped the hilt of the jagged Chinmoku against his thigh, sending the hissed dark cloud crashing toward Teruo. The cloud of Chinmoku surrounded them, crashing into Teruo with every movement twist and turn of the jagged blade in his hand. While the shards of Chinmoku did not fail to hit their mark…They did nothing to harm it.
“Your Speck will have to do more than throw a tantrum…” laughed Teruo. “This Heirro of mine…Best of luck, Tervaden…But, do remember…If you can cut me, my blood is worse than my bite.”
Seto shunpo’d away from the Ayakashi. “Not much of an issue if I take your head, now is it?”

“I am begging you to try!” laughed Teruo. He moved with the Shinigami, palming his face as he attempted to shunpo away from the fight. “Stop fucking running and die!!” The two flew through the top of the third tower and out of its side. Teruo let go of the Shinigami and kicked him, sending him through the base of the closest tower.
Teruo licked the fresh blood and flesh from beneath his nails. “This? This is Master Tervaden? Or Seto Tetsuya? Or whatever the fuck you’re calling yourself these days, dear Dead One. This? The Fox was more intimidating in his sleep. Perhaps, your constant state of confusion isn’t for show.” Teruo appeared beside the Shinigami as he lay on the ground. He crouched down beside him. “Perhaps you are a weak and broken man.” Teruo sniffed the air and smiled. “I am a bit disappointed. But…Admittedly excited.” Leaning close, Teruo whispered to the Shinigami.
“I finally get to feast on the fool.”

From a distance, Koga watched as the Daemon lifted the Shinigami’s damaged arm and placed his hand in his mouth. In one swift turn of his head, Teruo tore off Tervaden’s arm.
“Surely that isn’t all you’ve got.” mumbled Koga. He watched as Teruo tore off bits of the Shinigami’s arm in his mouth and swallowed it. “All your hatred…And, your fear…Personified..Literally eating away at you…Are you giving up?”
Koga disappeared from where he had been and reappeared standing over Tervaden. “You look like Hell.” Koga smiled. “The very reason why you’re still alive.” Watching as the Shinigami slowly and clumsily rose to his feet, Koga’s smile widened. “Ripples…” he whispered.
“What?” grunted Seto, resting to one knee.
Koga walked over to the Shinigami and leaned over until he looked the Shinigami in the eyes. “You win this fight, Tervaden.”
“How the fuck does that fucking happen, Koga! I’ve got one arm!!”
Teruo licked his lips and looked at the Seer and Shinigami. “Have you come to join the fun?!”
Koga smirked then disappeared. But, his voice could still be heard. “You’re holding back…”

“I fucking hate you.” growled Seto. He looked to Teruo who was still licking his lips. “What the fuck are you looking, you piece of shit?”
“You should be dead…” groaned Teruo. “Or, at least closer to dying. A perk of your three days in Hell.” Teruo laughed. “Imagine being the Vessel of a god then spending time in Hell. But, having nothing to show for it. If ever there was a need for an example of a waste of power…You are absolutely perfect.”
Seto inhaled deeply. He held that breath. Teruo was right. He was the Vessel of a god who spent time in Hell…Like Kita…His own abilities remained amplified from having been a vessel. Unlike Kita, he didn’t like it. So, he kept the new and true limits of his strength hidden.

“Well, look at you.” Teruo smiled as he licked his lips. “Are we through fucking around?” he asked, feeling the Shinigami’s reiatsu flare. “Is the real fight about to start, dear Dead One?”
“Fun fact,” groaned Seto, the pain of his missing arm becoming slightly more unbearable. “Unrestricted, Chinmoku can cut through anything and moves faster than your eyes can process.”
“Bullshi-” Teruo stopped mid-word. He brought a finger to his cheek as a bead of blood rose to his skin. He grinned.
“Told you…” sang Seto.
Poison began to flow from Teruo’s mouth again. “And, just what am I supposed to do with this bit of change? Be afraid?”

“I don’t give a fuck if you’re afraid.” said Seto. His knees buckled as he took a fighting stance. “But, I’m annoyed and tired…And, I’ve only got one arm now…Kita’s going to fucking love that…” Seto exhaled loudly and shook his head.
“Koga said I’-” Seto’s words were cut short as Teruo appeared in front of him. The Ayakashi hammered him with two heavy blows to the chest, sending him flying across the sands and into an already crumbling tower.
“I deserved that.” groaned Seto. “Monologuing in the middle of a fight…like a fucking villain.” He pushed himself free of debris that had fallen on top of him. “I’m okay. Oh fuck…I’m still doing it.” He looked around for Teruo but could not find him. “Oh shit…”

Without warning, Teruo appeared before the Shinigami and grabbed him by the throat. He lifted the man off his feet. “Oh, dear Dead One…” With his free hand, he dug deep into the man’s side and injected his poison. “I’ve grown tired of this game. So now, why don’t we have a bit of fun.” Teruo flung the Shinigami to the side. “A bit more poison in you should do the trick.”
Seto gave what seemed to be a growl mixed with laughter. “Hoping I swing wild in the hallucinations your poison will induce?”
“Why are you going to tell me that you’re unaffected by my hallucinations because your little Speck gives them too?” Teruo licked his lips, feeling the strange chap from the chilling air. “Because that isn’t how this works.”
“That’s right…” said Seto. “All of you seem to think that Chinmoku’s only power is causing hallucinations…”
“Because that’s all it does, Dead One.”

“Well, I hate to break it to you, love.” Seto rose to his feet and smiled. He looked down at the bladeless handle in his hand. “That’s not all he does…”
Teruo narrowed his eyes. The Shinigami’s composure was not as it should have been. He was calm. He was focused. And, not at all dying… “Your blade is a glorified paper shredder.”
“He’s a fucking black hole!” shouted Vale, tightening his grasp on the hilt of his blade. A violent wind surrounded them, as the massive black cloud that was Chinmoku appeared in the sky. Seto’s eyes glowed faintly as he looked at the Ayakashi. He watched as Teruo looked side to side, trying to grasp the size of Chinmoku’s cloud. “Nearly forty miles, if you’re curious.” He shook his head. “There is no escaping it. Consider yourself lucky, Sada. Not many people have seen this.”
“What is this?”
“This…” Seto looked up then back at the Ayakashi. “This is my bankai.”

The Shinigami’s power raged across the sky of Hueco Mundo. It began sucking in…everything. He looked at the Shinigami who stood calmly beneath the chaos. This seemed to be a different man entirely. Teruo narrowed his eyes. It was a different man. The Shinigami now appeared as his zanpakuto’s spirit - a tall winged man anchored to the realm by chains at his waist.
“What is this…?” mumbled Teruo, crouching as low as he could in the violent storm. His eyes grew wide as he watched the sand shift beneath him. The realm gave into the power of the Shinigami’s storm. The towers of Las Noches - the entirety of Las Noches was taken up into the storm. Dead trees, stone, sand and hollows were devoured by the storm. Enough sand was lost beneath him that he began to lose his hold.
“You are not this strong…” he whispered. Though, there was no reason to. The winds were so loud, he could barely hear himself. “You won’t win!”

“I am…” said Seto, his voice could be heard booming over the raging Chinmoku above him. “And, I will.” His gray eyes focused on the Ayakashi. “What are you afraid of?”
Teruo growled beneath his breath. And, for the first time in the fight, he drew Naraku. “I am not afraid…Throw your tantrum.” he shouted to be heard. “Naraku can do far worse.”
“Your blade can do no such thing.” answered Seto tilting his head to the side. “There is only one power you can not copy. And, that is mine…”
“Oh fuck you!” shouted Teruo. “You know nothing!”
“I helped create you, Sada Teruo.” Suddenly, the winds died. Anything caught in the air at that moment, fell to the ground. “I will be the one to end you.”
Just as quickly as it stopped, the winds picked up again. But, far more violent than it had before. “Choushinsei.”
