Karma POV

"It's hard to believe that it's been two months since I got pregnant already." As I rubbed my belly, I said, "Harribel, I'd like to show you how far I've come and the power I have gained." I said as we drew our blades, "I won't hold anything back this time Karma. I expect you would show me the same respect." she said as she changed her grip on her blade so the blade was pointing down, "Hunt...Tiburón!" she said as water exploded from behind her engulfing her, suddenly she cut through it revealing her new form.

"Roar Leona." I said as I transformed, "TRIDENT!" she shouted as she fired her attack at me, "Llama Espada." I said as I slashed sending flames crashing into her attack and dispelling all three strikes easily. I could tell from that one interaction, that I had far surpassed her. I knew that with my new power I could defeat any of the Espada with the accepting being Ulquiorra. It broke my heart to know that I was in a realm that my dearest friend and mentor could never achieve. Harribel continued her assault on me, I blocked and parried her attacks only using a quarter of my full power in my Resurrección form. Finally, the pain grew too much for me to handle, I shrank my blades onto my wrists and caught her blade, "I'm sorry. I can't keep holding back, it dishonors you as a warrior." I said as I let go of her blade and opened a Garganta. "Allow me to show you a realm that transcends the full might of the Espada. A power so great that It could potentially destroy Hueco Mundo." I said as we went to the world of the living. "Resurrección: Segunda Leona, Cazadora." I said calmly.

Harribel POV

"Resurrección: Segunda Leona, Cazadora." Karma said calmly as black flames engulfed her, lightning erupted from within the flaming tornado arching around it wildly. Suddenly a slash dispelled the sight and Karma in her new form was standing before me. I looked at her in awe and with pride seeing how far she's come.

"This is the full strength I can summon at this point. I realized from your first attack that you will likely never achieve this form." she said, "H-How did you do this?!" I asked in awe, "I discovered that power can achieve my goals, but I needed more. If I want my child to be safe then I must destroy the mere thought of anyone opposing me." she said as she returned to normal. 

Karma POV

I wandered around looking for strong hollows to defeat in an attempt to get stronger. But I came across the remains of a great battle. "Oh, a new victim? Come enter the serpent's den." a woman said as she emerged from the sand before me.

"You did this?" I said "Surprised? I am Arrancar 108 after all." she said, "Only 108? You're not worth my time then." I said as I began to walk away. "I'm going to enjoy killing you." she said coldly, "Envenomate...Cobra." she said as she held her blade pointing downward with both hands behind her head. Wind galed around her encasing her in a tornado of sand and Reiatsu, suddenly a dagger flew at me wrapping around me and binding me with dense chains of Reiatsu. "You will not escape me!" she said as she emerged in her Resurrección.

"I'll dig my fangs into you and infect you with my venom!" she laughed as she lunged at me, I broke free of my chains and drew Rosa Leona to block her, however, she slithered around my blade and tried to stab me. I grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground, "ROAR LEONA!" I snapped as I transformed into my Resurrección and placed my blade against her throat. "Now give up or die." I said coldly, "No." she said as she stabbed my leg. My body went numb and my vision blurred. I fell into the sand paralyzed "D-Damn it!" I said, "Now who's the weak one here?" she said arrogantly as she pulled me up by my hair and placed her dagger against my throat, "Now die!" she laughed as she began to slit my throat, "S-Segunda Leona!" I shouted before she could break my skin transforming into my second Resurrección. "Cazadora." I said coldly as she was flung away from the explosion of my spiritual pressure, I stabbed my spear into the ground to brace myself, "W-What the Hell are you?!" she said in terror, "I-I am the woman who will rule Hueco Mundo." I panted exhaustedly as she sealed her Zanpakuto, "If that's true, please allow me, Okui Venenosa, to join you." she said, "Fine just do something about the venom." I said, "Use this." she said as she injected the antidote into my chest. I felt my strength return so I sealed my Zanpakuto. "Let's go." I said as I took a step and began to fall, "Here let me help you!" Okui said as she caught me, "My venom is neutralized thanks to the anti-venom, but you're going to feel its effects for a while still." She said, "I'm pregnant, is my baby alright?!" I asked worriedly, "They'll be alright my venom paralyzes the victim's muscles while slowly making its way to their heart." she said, "That doesn't make me feel better." I said as I noticed the remains of her mask poking out from her hair, it resembled the hood of a cobra. "You're not gonna stab me in the back, are you? I won't be surprised, you are a snake after all, but I will be hurt." I joked, "Wouldn't dream of it. You'd kill me with that spear of yours." she said.
