Guerra readies a cero and fires it towards Shiba.
Shiba counters it by simply aiming his open palm hand and tanking the whole thing, leaving his palm to attain only scratches.
Shiba uses his sonido and uppercutted Guerra to his stomach, sending him 16 meters in the air.
Shiba uses sonido again to catch up with Guerra, who is still in the air, just to grab and throw him towards the ground at full force.
Guerra crashed through the ground, breaking and shaking the ground violently, big pieces of the ground were flown everywhere, killing hollows around him.
Shiba lands on the ground, he slowly walks towards Guerra, laying down on the ground.
Shiba speaks with arrogance in his voice
"It seems I've overestimated you, EMPEROR OF THE FOREST!"
Shiba jumps in the air, heading towards Guerra
As he was falling towards Guerra, at the landing he points his elbow towards Guerra's gut and hits it. Causing Guerra even more pain.
Guerra was able to push away Shiba by sending a powerful punch that he was able to block and step away.
Shiba laughs then speaks.
"I can't believe that I panicked over you?!"
Guerra slowly stands up, his back arched.
He uses his sonido to get up close with Shiba, he striked with his left fist on the neck of Shiba.
Shiba didn't budge at all, his reaction was of disappointment.
Suddenly, a red orange light was appearing on the fist of Guerra that was on Shiba's neck.
Guerra speaks quietly, with a raspy voice due to the pain.
"Cero..... COMBATIR."
Shiba's eyes widened, as the light red orange light gets brighter and brighter.
Guerra screams as he finally unleashes his cero.
The force of the punch was so powerful, Shiba was sent flying through the air along with other hollows that were behind him.
Shiba hits the already worn down fortress. The whole thing collapsed on him.
As the dust settles, around the ruins of the fortress.
Shiba crawls out of the rubble, revealing that his hierro has been bypassed, and his neck given an awful deep wound shaped like an imperfect hole.
He screams in pain.
Shiba slowly stands while covering his wound with his left hand, he speaks.
"Y-you....."
Guerra explains what he just did.
"Cero Combatir. A special type of Cero i developed that's mainly used for close quarters combat. And you're the 1st victim of it in actual- Ngrgh.... Combat."
He chases after Guerra with his sonido.
Guerra sees this and runs away from the battlefield and enters the deep forest.
Shiba screams as he enters the forest.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME!!!"
As Shiba was still after Guerra. He gets in between 2 seperate lines of Gillians, ready to fire their ceros.
Shiba's eyes widened again and screams.
"NOOOOOOO-"
BOOM
A big explosion emerged from the forest.
We cut to Shiba, with his skin burnt and some of his limbs missing, but still alive.
Guerra comes downs from a branch of a tree, he then reiterates grimly.
"You may have physical prowess.... But you lack mind and techniques. (picks up Shiba*)
You will be used for experiments in my lab. While I conquer the North and annex it into my empire."
Shiba stares him down with hate and anger.
We cut to one of the many adjuchas officers in the Northern army that's in the battlefield.
They mutter to themselves.
"I could barely sense Shiba's spiritual energy! Has he been... Defeated?!"
He screams to his men.
"EVERYONE!!!! RETREAT TO THE FOREST!!! SHIBA IS GONE-"
The officer is tackled to the ground by an adjuchas commandante.
The Northern troops immediately headed to the depths of the forest to escape the battle.
Gillians continued to fire on them to do as much damage as possible before all of them escaped.
In the aftermath, about 4000 hollows fought in the battle, the total casualty count of both sides in the quick battle, are: 1289
Each side took half of the casualties.
The day after the battle we cut to Research Lab of the empire.
Shiba is tied to a wall, with his limb back.
A pink adjuchas with weird wings injects a needle onto him.
Shiba's spiritual power began going off the charts, it was too much for his body and he began to scream out in pain.
"AUGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
His body began to glow as result.
The adjuchas was happy with the result, he looks obsessed and crazy with creation, regardless.
Guerra walks in the room with his commandante.
Guerra speaks
"Is he ready to be consumed?"
The adjuchas ignores him, Guerra stares at him but ultimately ignored him.
Guerra walks up to Shiba and tears off his right arm.
Shiba couldn't feel the pain as he already is in pain.
Guerra consumes it. He clenches fists as he feels a rush of dense spiritual energy inside of him.
Once the rush was over, a researcher comes up to him and began talking to him.
"Emperor! According to our research, That arm was worth about exactly 47 adjuchas in terms of consuming them."
Impressed by such feat, Guerra praised the scientist.
"Ah. Well done, it was a great decision to assign you guys to the lab."
The scientists, pleased greatly. In unison they shouted.
"It is our duty! Our emperor!"
The pink adjuchas injects another substance into Shiba.
His limbs started to regrow, slowly.
Shiba's eyes widened and began panicking and screaming as he realizes what his fate will for the rest of his life.
"NONONO NO!!!!! I DONT DESERVE THIS!!!!!! LET ME OUTTTTT!!!! PLEEASEEE!!!!"
Sometime later.
Scouts from the empire were able to discover the hideout where the defeated army was and they reported it to Guerra personally.
Guerra arrives at the entrance of the hideout with thousands of hollows behind him.
The remaining Northern adjuchas officers confronted Guerra, one speaks up.
"Stop! We do not wish to fight! We want to join-"
Guerra fires a cero at him, not letting him be able to finish his words, killing him.
The Gillians followed suit and unleashed destruction on the camp. Leaving very few survivors.
The survivors were taken in for more expirements.
In a few weeks. All of the North was taken, leaving only an emperor to rule the Forest.
The following week, at the Western Palace, where it was renamed to "Ciudad Capital".
Guerra's coronation was held once again. But this time, he was crowned as the Emperor of The Menos Forest.
They were inside the throne room(again). Where it was attended by hollows from every possible corner of the forest.
A special crown was hand crafted to Guerra, made up of parts of Shiba's mask. (He's still alive.)
An old friend of his, the former rebellion leader, holds the crown for him and bestows it upon Guerra's head while he kneels.
The crowd cheers wildly for their new emperor.
After the coronation, he holds a meeting with his Commandantes.
The Commandantes kneel before him while he sits in his throne room.
He speaks with something in his mind that he's been planning for a while now.
"I have gathered all of you here to alert all of you our next move."
With all the commandantes interested, they keep silent and listen.
"Our next goal is..... The Surface of Hueco Mundo."
