Renji's breath hissed from between his teeth. His muscles burned, but that was the worst of it. He blinked his eyes a few times to clear them, shook his head. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't get your panties in a wad."
He pushed himself up to his feet, eying the sky speculatively. "I don't know what that was. Kind of like lightning, I guess. Captive lightning." He wasn't much for science, so he didn't really know more than that, other than that lightning liked metal things, and traveling down them to get to the ground. "Well, this is going to suck."
But they didn't really have that many options, not if they were going to cover the escape of those two humans like they said. Another creature dropped low, and he whipped Zabimaru at it, the sword lengthening impossibly to reach the creature.
He was ready for the tooth-grinding pain this time, but that didn't make it any more pleasant. An instant later the creature was cut in half, and Renji was down on one knee again, trying to remember how to breathe.
