//------------------------------// // Peach 27 // Story: PEACH! // by ChromeRegios //------------------------------// “Aaaahhhhh!” Ichigo flings backwards, caused by tree trunk being thrown at him. “Ichigo!” Rainbow Dash flies over to him and checked up Ichigo if he’s hurt. Ichigo lands on a huge pile of mud, as he grovels along the puddle. Dash helps him up, but Ichigo shoves her away. “Get out of here Dash! You're in no condition to stay here!” Ichigo yelled, he wanted for her not to get hurt and was only concerned of her well being. But Dash, being so stubborn as she is, she won't go without him. “I can leave you like this, Ichigo! You're my friend, and friends stick together!” She said, with great honor on her voice. After all... she is the Element of Loyalty. Ichigo knew, that despite his own stubbornness, he knew very well that she won't leave him alone, even if... a huge hollow was in front of them. Ichigo stabs his Zanpaktou to the ground and used it as a guide to help himself up. Ichigo glared at the huge hollow who was preparing for an attack... “Alright, Rainbow Dash,. If you're going to stay, you're going to help me.” Ichigo proclaims. Dash simply nodded and prepares herself to help him at all cost. “You see that mask on that thing?” Ichigo points to the mask of the hollow, Dash spots it and wonders what will he do with it. “I want you to distract him for me, can you do that?” Ichigo said. He knows he’s putting an innocent ponies life here, but he has to kill it or it might go to town and do even more chaos. Dash agreed to help, then flew right in front of the hollow, despite her injured wing, she forced herself to do as she was told. “HEY KNUCKLEHEAD! OVER HERE!” Dash taunts the monster, then she sticks her tongue out making all sorts of outrageous facial expressions as she possibly can. Ichigo felt he was about to laugh, but he sucked in his gut and focused at the matter at hand. He immediately flash steps along the branches and charges right into the face of the hollow! The hollow felt his presence and knocks him down ward. sending him careening down the earth, smashing straight creating a small crater. Ichigo climbs up, brushed and has a small gash on his leg, but was still able to fight. “DAMN IT! How could he ever knew where I was going to strike?!” He said in frustration of his plan didn’t actually work. Ichigo spots Dash was still going at it, getting the hollow more and more agitated. He knew this was a bad sign, if this hollow gets mad, he will literally kill Dash if he doesn't stop her irritating the monster. “Dash! Get out of there now!” Ichigo shouted, hoping she would hear him. Dash took a glance below, but by doing that, she lets herself open. Ichigo sees the hollow slams its giant tentacle towards Dash, sending her crashing on some trees... “RAINBOW DASH!” Ichigo shouts and focused his glare on the hollow... His rage went beyond compare, he was responsible for her, and he can’t bear to see her get hurt, but it was too late, he could not warn her too fast, he should have grabbed her and took her to a safe distance, but his lack of common sense, seems to be not in his favor. “That’s it...” Ichigo said, as he stood there... “I hate not being to help someone in time, I hated my head for not making such rational thinking...” He said to himself. “But because you hurt my friend...” Ichigo’s Spiritual Pressure becomes greater... “And now...” He points in his Zanpaktou towards the hollow. “You die...” Ichigo builds up the power and prepares to take his most powerful attack... Though he can only use it in Bankai, this one was an exception. With his rage and Spiritual Pressure combining... his power levels starts to increase... “GETSUGA...” Ichigo prepares to swing Zangetsu. “TENSHOU!!!” Ichigo sends a gigantic stream surges towards the hollow, bigger than his normal Getsuga Tenshou. The crescent light slices through the hollow, breaking its mask at the process and disintegrating through the light, and exploding with such force that the forest literally bowed down to the power Ichigo just shown. After the blast, Ichigo went to find the injured Rainbow Dash through the forest. Later... Luna, Trixie and Spike arrived at the spot where Ichigo had his battle with the hillow. Trixie gazed at the destruction and carnage left by Ichigo himself. “My word... What happened here?” Trixie said, asking a very vague question. “Hmm...” Luna senses something in the air. “A very powerful magic was used here recently, we may have missed it...” Luna proclaims. “Sure looks like it...” Spike said, as he scoops up the scorched earth around him. “It doesn’t seem hot...” He said feeling the black soil on his claws. “This is some magic I never encountered before...” Trixie said to the two. “Indeed...” Luna agrees. Spike was about to say something when he spots the whole area has a very huge crater in the center. “Oh my gosh! What made this?” He said, nearly falling at the crater as he goes close to it. “Be careful Spike... you won't want to fall into that deep thing, now do you?” Luna said, as she grabs him back to safe distance. “Whoever is responsible for this... sure is a dangerous pony to be walking around here.” Luna said to the both of them... “You think so?” Spike asked Luna. “Yes.” Luna simply said... As they looked around the area, Ichigo went out of the tree line, with Dash in his arms, Injured and unconscious. Luna spots him walking out and quickly trots over to him. Her eyes soon spots Rainbow Dash in his arms. “What happened to her?” Luna asked, as Trixie and Spike followed closely behind. “She’s just out cold, don't worry.” Ichigo said, assuring them that she’s fine... But in reality, she broke several ribs and snapped her wing very badly... Luna gave a glare to Ichigo, knowing that he was lying... Ichigo knew very well that she could read minds, so he just gave her the “Please be quiet.” look. Luna understands him, he just doesn't want anyone to worry, and he will find a way to get Dash fixed up... but for some reason... his thoughts ran to one person and one person who can only help.... Mayuri...
