Chapter 62: Down To Six
Back within the Soul Society, the captains were all in shock by Shen's little stunt. At first, they knew Shen was strong but if they worked together using their Shikai's they thought they would at least have a chance however now they saw that was a foolish wish as the rest of the captain kept their distance from Shen.
"Oh come on don't feel discouraged to attack me just because I can kill you." Shen held his arms open, welcoming anyone to attack showing he still didn't take any of the captains seriously. The captains where currently restrained in a way and their restraints were one another. Most of their Bankai would accidentally get their comrades swept up as collateral damage so they couldn't go 100%.
However, it was clear out of all the captains the one who couldn't contain themself was Komamura who suddenly spoke. "You may disrespect us but… I won't allow you to sully the pride of the Gotei 13." A rush of Red Reiatsu exploded out of Komamura as he looked at Shen. "This is what you asked for don't blame me. Bankai! Kokujo Tengen Myo' o!" The air shook as a massive figure appeared out of thin air.
"No, don't!" Yelling out to Komamura Shinsui wanted him to tell him to stop, but Komamura couldn't hear him as his Reiatsu burning like a blazing fire reached its peak. Standing taller than even a Menos Grande a warrior covered in black armour with red skin peeking through here and there stood behind Komamura as it fell to the ground. Its sheer weight alone cracked the floor of the Seireiteias it stood menacingly with its gaze focused on Shen.
With his mind focused Komamura didn't waste any words as he raised his Zanpakuto into the air which his Bankai copied, raising its massive sword into the sky. "HGGGAAAA!" Letting out a roar Komamura slashed down towards Shen and even though his own strike did not reach the giant copied this motion slashing down towards Shen. As Shen stood there for the first time in this entire fight, he activated his passive three tomoe Sharingan making the whole battlefield clear up before his eyes.
'A powerful Bankai but just like your Shikai it's slow.' As the blade inched closer, Shen moved out of the way but only ever so slightly staying in the proximity of the edge of the blade. As it flew past his face, Shen clenched one of his fists while covered his arm with Haki and then proceeded to cover that arm in a layer of crimson Ki on top of that. "Ha!" Shen launching his arm forward Shen hit the broadside of Tengen Myo' o's blade.
For a moment, it seemed nothing happened however that didn't last for long as Komamura felt a sudden pressure pushing against his blade. In an instant, a crack appeared on the blade's surface circularly. This also replicated on Komamura's Zanpakuto, which made him gasp.
With a single punch, Shen had broken off a tip of Komamura's Zanpakuto as the fragments disconnected from the rest of the blade. But as the separated chunk of the blade began to fall, Shen reached out with both hands grabbing it by its broadside. "This is yours, right?" Flashing Komamura a smirk Shen quickly began to turn around swinging the chunk of the blade like a frisbee before letting it loose.
Usually, Komamura could dodge something like this due to its size and speed however because his Bankai was out Shen's target was obviously that instead. Looking at the makeshift fly, Shen thought to himself. 'The worst part about that Bankai by far.' Hitting its mark the chunk of Tengen Myo' o's blade stabbed right into the giant's chest ignoring its armour entirely. And like magic, a large gash appeared on Komamura's chest.
"GAH!" Spitting up blood in his helmet Shen had countered his attack in a matter of seconds as the gash on his chest continued to leak blood. Due to the shock, Komamura stumbled back before falling onto one knee which was cloned by the giant. "Damit I told you not to attack!" Shunsui wanted them to find a chance to regroup and figure out a plan however, Komamura attacked before he could think of a way to get them out of this situation.
"We don't have time to wait around like this." Seeing what happened to Komamura Soi Fon pushed fear aside as she rushed towards Shen. Watching another one charge in Shunsui cried out again. "Captain Soi Fon stop!" However, now that Shen had his Sharingan activated even the slightest movements that he might have missed before didn't go unnoticed. Activating Shunko Soi Fon quickly vanished from where she stood only to appear behind Shen in a piercing position.
While performing this action, Soi Fon heard Shen's voice as he spoke at a volume only she could listen to in this split moment. "It's a shame you're going to lose another arm…" As Soi Fon's eyes widened, Shen turned his head slightly just enough for one of the eyes to stare at Soi Fon as she felt her heart freeze in fear. Disappearing from where he stood, Shen appeared next to Soi Fon who was now piercing into the air.
Turning her head slowly in that instance, Soi Fon felt her wrist become gripped by Shen as she cried her head. 'No… No… Not again!' Grabbing her upper arm with his free hand, Shen proceeded to slam her the side of Soi Fon's elbow onto his knee breaking it instantly. Countering yet another captains attempt of attacking him the other captains only began to catch up with what had happened as a cracking sound echoed through their ears.
Looking over Ukitake along with the remaining captains were stunned in place to see Shen pulling Soi Fon by her wrist as he began to swing her around like a toy. At this point to only think connecting Soi Fon's upper and lower arm was flesh and muscle and even that was being ripped as Shen swung her around above his head.
Completing one more arc, Shen only showed a smug grin as Shen threw Soi Fon to the ground like a ragdoll slamming into the ground with earth-shaking impact. [Soi Fon Defeated. Reward: 442329 XP and 367 SP] Not long after throwing Soi Fon Shen was greeted with a notification. Looking at it for a brief moment, Shen sighed to himself. 'How the mighty have fallen. Looks like losing two arms really lowered her worth.'
Witnessing this cruel scene in front of them the captains had no words however Komamura who Shen had turned his back too was gritting his teeth. "You! You bastard! There was no reason to go that far!" Ignoring his pain, Komamura prepared to attack Shen as he boiled with anger however he didn't get to ignore that pain for long as Shen's eyes flashed more pain invaded his body as more wounds appeared.
This was the first time that all the captains witnessed Shen's Mangekyou ability as eight spears made out of the manipulated void came out of 8 portals surrounding Shen. Two spears pierced into one limb altogether cancelling Komamura's attack as his Bankai and in extension, he was turned into a pincushion.
"And so…" Raising his head slowly, Shen spoke in a menacing tone as his eyes left everyone petrified with an unknown feeling clogging their minds. "The Gotei 13 is down to six."

Aizen_Dleitch A fierce chapter for the captains looks like Shen is done messing around with them as two of them fall within a matter of minutes. How will Shen deal with the others and what could possibly stop him at this point?
Hope you enjoyed this brutality filled chapter I was feeling a bit dark today :D
