Snippet #1529508

Tōsen nodded solemnly to the volunteers, Eloise, the third Espada, and Luna and Sol Solis who formed the seventh Espada. He smiled slightly at Luna's conviction, but then said in a foreboding voice. "Remember, this is Kenpachi we're speaking of. He hasn't survived this long because of dumb luck." Tōsen nodded quietly towards Jintsuremenu, "Please do." Tōsen half-turned from the assembled party, then struck at the air with an extended finger, immediately tearing the air apart to show the darkness of the Garganta. He stepped through and turned back to face them, "Shall we?" One hand was on his Zanpakutō, Suzumushi's hilt. Zaraki Kenpachi will die by my hand!

Tōsen sped off through the Garganta, leaving behind a trail of reiatsu for the others to follow along on. In seconds, he was in the right area, and opened the Garganta into Soul Society, high up in the sky above the battle between Kenpachi and Banira. Tōsen jumped out of the Garganta, followed by the Espada, and landed off to the side of Banira's battle.

Kenpachi dodged to the side of Banira's attack, but her blade glanced across his abdomen. Finally, she had made Kenpachi bleed by releasing her full power, but only slightly. Kenpachi laughed at her speeding past him with most of the force of her attack wasted, "Is that all you've got?!" But then he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Tōsen had arrived, along with a few Espada he didn't recognize. Kenpachi's attention left Banira, and was now focused on the new arrivals. He turned to look directly at Tōsen, "It's been a long time, Kaname."

"Do not address me with such familiarity, Zaraki!" Tōsen snapped at him immediately, his brow drawn down in anger. "Lord Aizen has ordered that we stop you! Lady Banira, please remove yourself from this place at once!"

Kenpachi smirked at Tōsen, "What's the problem Kaname? Do you want to have a battle between two former Captains?" Kenpachi tightened his grip on his Zanpakutō in excitement. "Why don't all of you attack me at once? That way this'll be more fun!!"

Tōsen began to draw Suzumushi, but stopped when it was only half-way out. "Kenpachi!! Do not tempt me! I can kill you without any help from them!"

"Oh? Did you forget about that time you used your Bankai on me? You forget how you lost?" Kenpachi smirked, "You can't beat me alone, so you should all attack! That way, one of you will be more likely to live and come back to fight me again!"
