All the movements were so much to take in, her eyes glanced back and forth, between Mock's face, his hands, and the naginata, and her own body, checking for any damages done to herself. As the Hadou, came to her in a matter of seconds, she didn't think of a way to react, except take it head on.
While the attack of winds pushed her back, the reiatsu step she stood on in midair, dispearsed into reishi particles as she dropped to the ground. Thankfully, she missed the Itsuryu attack by a some many centimeters. She spun into a back flip, shifting her center of balance which caused her body to move backwards as she neared the ground. This created a bigger distance between the two once she landed softly onto the ground.
After landing she looked at her body, checking for any bleeding, just in case if Ketsueki Zenchou's blade of the naginata still had the ability to control blood. No, no bleeding, she was beat up, but not to the point of bleeding. Not yet. Just a few shallow scratches.
Just as the crunch of snow was heard she flicked her wrist up in a blurring motion and charged a cero. A large mass of condensed lanvender reiatsu rushed to the captain on the ground. Taking a quick glance to the shinigami that were entering the area, she sighed. With the amount of spiritual pressure in Mock and her battle area, it was surely like being deep underwater to unseated shinigami.
Her tattoo on her back was that of a four. Those who stayed to watch, that was fine, as long as they didn't get in the way. Their squad was already liberated and it'd be a good experience for them to watch and be proud of having Mock as their captain.

Mashiro lay now in some soft grass, or what was left of it at least, in the Squad 13 Barracks. Shinzou and the others left some time ago to Squad 4 for some healing. Since Mashiro was mostly left out of the action with the Arrancars, he had little wounds and the wounds he did have would just be a waste of time for the 4th Squad. So he decided to watch his Captain fight the Espada.When he was in the Academy, Mashiro, has heard rumors about the Arrancars but never had seen them before. Fighting, or partly fighting, that Arrancar earlyer that day had show Mashiro how weak he truly was. I must get stronger.... he thought to himself as his Captain and the Espada exchanged blows.
(( I do not mean to puppeteer here, I was making this post as from the sideline point of view. I also found it interesting if Mashiro would react to the fight. However, if you don't like it Mock-Taichou, I will change it ^_^))

Mikhail had made beautiful speed over to the 13th from Squad 4. As he arrived on scene, nothing more than himself and zanpakuto on hand he whitnessed he scene described to him back at the healing room. An Arrancar had shown themselves in another Squad, this one quite familiar, Rakey. No... His mind jolted as he watched his fellow Shinigami, Captain Mock, and his Espada friend battle one another. Inside he had known this day would come when he'd either have to watch her get hurt or hurt her himself but he had not been prepared for it to be this day.
Standing on below the close to the fray he attently watched each and every ounce of reiatsu exerted. Both the Espada and the Captain were fighting hard, almost too hard for his liking. His heart jumped everytime a blow was exchanged. The stupendous battle before him reminded him of how he himself, Vice Hirimi and Captain Envy faught hard again the Espada Buru. His body still ached from that battle and he felt slightly drained from the three shinigami he had healed back at the 4th but, he had only used the reiatsu needed to heal them. Mikhail still had his reiatsu restraints, the black studs, attached and therefore his reiatsu was being filtered and dammed up as necessary.

(( Heh, ok still new here sweatdrop thanks for tellin me though))
Mashiro looked over at another shinigami that now shared the Squad 13 space with him. " Hello, shinigami-san," he said as he waved. Mashiro was still sitting in the same position as earlyer, but now he had a bottle of sake. " Would you like a drink? found it lieing around." He said as he motioned Mikhail over to him. " Some battle, eh?"

((Shinzou is right, of course. There's no problem in describing surrounding events being RPed by someone else. In fact, being aware of the world around you, and not just your RPC's immediate surroundings and the effect of his/her actions on it, is what distinguishes a good RPer.
To puppeteer someone you would have to describe actions not described by the RPer. For example, stating that a RPC runs away after you menace him/her, would be puppeteering.
It's all good! We are all learning everyday. That's why we're here. If we stop learning, we stop growing! xp ))
Mock was more relaxed, now that his Squad mates were falling back to a safe distance (some even leaving to the 4th Squad in order to have their wounds looked at - a wise decision).
It was uncanny - to say the least - how they would endanger themselves so easily, by coming so close to the battle between himself and La Cuarta. The Captain could consider one possibility for this: Having won against the hordes of Hollows and Menos, and even going to the extent of forcing an Arrancar to retreat, made them over-confident and reckless.
MockaDash would warn them about this fact later, but he was not going to scold them. They deserved this moment! They should be proud of themselves and inebriated by such feeling of accomplishment.
A new Shinigami arrived, going by the name of Mikhail. This was a good sign. It could only meant that all over the place, Shinigamis were being able to liberate the Seretei. Freedom of movement, such as the one required for a single Shinigami to walk from one Squad ground to the other, could only be possible if Aizen's forces were being overthrown.
The 13th Squad Captain wouldn't dwell much on these thoughts, seeing as Rakey was demanding his full attention now.
Quickly raising the dark blade of the naginata above his head, while holding the weapon vertically in front of him, the Captain flourished the Zanpakutou and, swinging it down, he aimed it at the ground in front of where he stood.
Itsuryu! Itsuryu KaijinZenchou! he roared, between the cloud of tobacco smoke that was coming out of his mouth and nostrils. As the first sentence was said, a dark wave of black reiatsu was discharged towards Rakey's cero, and the blade immediately met the ground after releasing it, plunging into its white mantle of snow - then the second sentence came.
The Itsuryu and the cero collided at exactly the same distance from Mock and Rakey, producing a large blast and a cloud of smoke and snow, as the snow on the ground was being thrown into the air.Regardless, Mock's offensive was far from over!
When the dark blade of the naginata pierced through the snow on the ground (right after releasing the dark wave), a second attack had been made. This time, a less evident one - the snow was starting to turn into ice. Not at random, and not in a radial spreading pattern. Actually, the freezing pattern described a straight line from where the blade had touched the snow and where Rakey stood. Freezing at incredible speed, it didn't take more than a couple of seconds for the snow beneath Rakey - and around them - to be replaced by ice.
In fact, since both attacks were released almost simultaneously, after witnessing the exuberant explosion produced by the Itsuryu and the cero colliding, if the Espada troubled herself to look at her feet, she would already see the ice there!
Useless. Focus on your surroundings, Rakey-dono. MockaDash commented, at the fact that Rakey seemed to have forgotten one small, yet relevant, detail - The dark waves released from his Zanpakutou could be (to a certain extent) maneuvered by Mock.
A while back, as Rakey had dropped into the ground in order to avoid the Itsuryu subsequent to the Tenran, she might (or might not) have failed to noticed that the wave of energy, instead of following a straight path, began to arch itself and precipitated towards her. ((In case you're wondering, in this paragraph I'm now referring to the Itsuryu released in my previous post. ))
So now, as the snow beneath her feet had turned to ice, the dark wave was nearly reaching the top of her head! Spreading itself to all sides, the dark wave was now resembling a mantle of death trying to cover the Espada and prevent her from taking an escape route up - it would be impossible for her, at this point in time, to jump up (in whatever direction) without having to face the black wave. Tsurara. MockaDash muttered, in the exact moment that the events being described above were occurring. Half a dozen large icicles promptly "erupted" from the ice around Rakey, and several others immediately from below her. Attempting to invalidate her escape, the icicles, as sharp as metal spikes - being infused with reiatsu - aimed to pierce through Rakey's torso from various angles and directions.
Death from above. Death from below. Death from your surroundings. Mock amused himself, speaking out loud as he smoked from the kiseru. Which one will you embrace? Is the question that now presents itself to me.

Indirectly he spoke to the shinigami that addressed him. "I don't drink on the job." Khail's eyes were kept locked on the fray, they dazzled from the sight of Captain MockaDash, his Blind Eyes seeing the full extent of reiatsu control and release as it happened. Mock-Taichou's power was massive, his reiatsu's levels weren't nearly as high as Mikhail's but the Captain needed not the extra reiatsu, he was able to pour all of his strength and power into the reiatsu he had and successfully release it in a more than impressive strike.
Talking to the shinigami once again he smirked, "Meh, all I have to say is that Captain MockaDash should have no problem fighting this Espada alone. After all, over in the 4th it took a Captain a Vice Captain and a 3rd Seat to take down Buru." Buru was a name that needed no description if one had any knowledge of the Espada. Buru was as high as one could get in the Espada, his power had been immensen and intimidating but luckily Mikhail had been able to survive the encounter and contribute to the fight in a productive fashion.

(( I come from out of the darkness!! ninja Frizzdalded!! ))
Hatsume::. Ignoring what might have set her apart from everything, the kitsune seemed to randomly appear near Mashiro while spacing off in the distance; most likely watching the battle from afar between her Captain and a mighty Espada yet oddly able to focus in on the words of Mashiro at the same time. Within her daze the young shinigami would accidentally bump onto or trip her friend, unless stopped of course while being intriged with the on-going. "You should'ny pick up and eat or drink things you just found lying around Mashiro sama. Afterall, not so long ago there was abunch of hollows here... what if they purposely put that there hrmm.. hrmm?. She flipped her hand up toward's Mikhail, "And aside, he's right!" She suddenly smiled turning her attention towards Mikhail curiously. "Who are you anyways...? Meh name's Hatsume! You having fun making the Sereitei happy too?" She grinned, giving a quirky wag of her bushy tail.

Seeing the Itsuryu Mock shot at the Cero she made. She quickly assumed they would negate eachother. Then as she thought his offense was over her pesquisa sensed reishi. Reishi that was quickly traveling, from below. She looked down quickly seeing the ice already nearing her feet. As she began to run backwards, ready to sonido the dark shadow of the Itsuryu loomed from above.
"Tch!" she muttered as she sonido'd backwards. Her back falling down towards the ground as she pushed with her feet. A jump while using sonido giving her further distance to cover and hopefully, escape the two attacks. While she soared between the two attacks she pointed her left hand to the edge of Itsuryu, where she was probably going to land. Forming a bala in her hand, charging it as long as she could and releasing it. Luckily, with her accuracy it hit, and stopped the spreading of Itsuryu there momentarily.
While her left hand did this, her right was already reaching for her zanpakto-. once her hand touched the hilt of her katana. She felt a sudden sting as the icicles that emerged from the ground stuck her right leg. She let out a gasp in pain. As she finally neared the end of the Itsuryu and shifted her weight giving her an extra push backwards, by doing a backflip. Once she landed, she unsheathed Mamoru from her back and muttered. "Sonic blow..."
With that phrase, the crystal star keychain, which hung off the hilt of her zanpakto- glowed lightly. As it distorted the dimension around Rakey's hands, giving her the ability to deliver a numerous amount of reiatsu enforced slashes. The slashes, so powerful they cause a sonic boom with each and every slice. Since the variable of speed is already taken care of by the spacial distortion from the cosmic energy, she only needed to take care of focusing on the power needed in the slashes.
After what seemed like a second, she had already delivered the blows. These slashes were planned on getting rid of the Itsuryu, the ice on the ground, and reaching to attack Mock. But, this being her first time using this attack, the outcome, was unknown.
Letting out a sigh, she looked to her right, and saw Mikhail. Her blank face let out a small smile, but soon returned to the serious-ness it had earilier. She couldn't let her emotions get the best of her, not when she was fighting with Mock-sama.

Mikhail turned to Hatsume, "Hello, I am Mikhail Bolshevik, Squad 4's 3rd seat." Eyeing her carefully he made note of he significant reiatsu levels and returned a smile at her blatant kindness. "Its a pleasure to meet you. I am thankful Squad 4 was liberated, it would seem that your Squad's liberation is going well. I am just happy to be here to heal whom ever may need it." Politely turning away he fixed his eyes on the battle. It was rough but he was happy to see Rakey, Cuarta Espada, hold her own against Captain MockaDash.
As the wind tussled his hair he took a deep breath in, he could feel the dark pressure lifting from the Sereitei. The sweet smell of blossoming flowers filled his nostrils. He held the breath, afraid to let it go out of fear of losing the sensation that it brought him, the easing affect it had on his mind. No deaths today, Rakey...fight for your life but don't end Mock-Taichou's...pleasae. Soundlessly he pleaded for good wishes, something about him was at peace today. He felt a depressive contentment, it did not weigh heavy on his heart but it tortured his mind. Please, no dieing either of you!

"HMPH" Mashiro sighed as he bowed his head. " Your loss... I don't know how you are on the job, since everyone went to your Squad for healing. Anyhow, its empty." Mashiro lifted the jug above his head and shook it. All that came out was two drops. They hit the ground without so much of a sound. " Ah, Hatsume,"Mashiro said as he moved over a little, avoiding her tripping onto him. " What took you so long? Shinzou and the others left an hour ago.... Ah, no matter. Come sit with me, you too Mikhail." He waved for them to come over as he took a bit of some stale bread. " No need to worry about our Captain, Bolshevik-san. It seems that you don't know much about our Captain, so I will give you a little history lesson...."
Mashiro repositioned himself as he began his short story on the Captain. " Just like most of us Shinigami, Mock-Taichou was living in the Rukongai. He joined the Gotei 13 after learnning the ways of Bushido, or the way of the warrior. Well, he was accepted into the 5th Squad. which is a little Irronci since his weak point way kidou. Anyway, he was recruited by the Captain-Commander himself, or Former Captain-Commander I should say. But this wasn't just some position in the Squad, he became 3rd Seat. Then later becoming his Vice-Captain and right hand. In a way you can say that the Captain-Commander was Mock-Taichou's true Sensei"Mashiro only paused to take aother bite of stale bread, which he passed around to Hatusme and Mikhail. " Well, he was fine for a while before his former sensei, who's name I keep forgetting, went rogue and left the Seireitei to join Aizen. Just like anyone else with their friends, Mock-Taichou left with him. That was during the time Aizen [i[Did call war on the Seireitei, when he kidnapped some Captains.
" Well, believe it or not, but the Captain actually fought with the Arrancars and Espada. Or at least that was until he came face to face, or at least I think it was face to face, with the Captain-Commander. Mock-Taichou changed his ways and returned to the Seireitei. If I am not mistaken he also brought his former Sensei.... gah!... I don't remember that name!" Mashiro slamed his hand on the ground next to him. Before getting back to the story, Mashiro got up and started looking for more food. " Ah! I know there has got to be some type of food around here.... Oh! NOW I REMEMBER! The Name Was Asuma Haruka.... Hey Hatsume, can you help me look for some type of food? I don't care if it has been swimming in Hollow Blood, just something other than this stale bread...."
(( Ok FYI all the info on the Captain, Mock-Taichou, was off his profile in our profile thread. I did, however add a thing here and there, but almost all of it is true. I will change the post if Mock-Taichou doesn't like it biggrin ))

Mikhail turned to eye Mashiro. "I know much about Mock-Taichou. but it seems you know so little about Cuarta Espada Rakey." He sat next to the two and rested with his hands propping him up as he leaned back. "Rakey, I've encountered her once. I was lucky she wasn't in the mood to fight, and I was able to discuss many a things with her." Crossing his ankles he squinted at Rakey, remembering the exact day they met. "Cuarta Espada, she has much much much more power than I do, I am only a 3rd seat with Shikai and some good kidou. We battled and she didn't have to go into Resurreccion to hold me off. Cuarta means 4, shes 4th Espada. She has 6/10's the power of Cero Espada...thats alot for even a Captain to handle." Wiggling his feet and taking slow deep breathes he continued to taste the sweet air. "I have no doubt of Captain MockaDash's power no adeptness to fend off and Espada but Rakey is no push over. Shes knowledgable beyond her years and experience. She is not to be taken lightly in any form of the word."
Sitting on the ground he studied Mashiro. The boy seemed simple enough, a care free sort of shinigami with lots of respect for his superiors but he seemed naive. Mikhail doubted he'd ever faught an Espada member let alone a Vice Captain. Mikhail had done both. Not only had he faught Rakey and Hirimi Shein but he'd also faught Buru, top Espada and more powerful than anyone he'd ever layed his Blind Eyes on.
((Everything I said about Rakey is true and I left out alot.))

Mashiro stopped looking for some food and faced Mikhail, who was watching his every move. " Ah, Mock-Taichou will be able to defeat the Espada-san.... I just hope he doesn't over do it....." Mashiro said under his breathe. He walked over to Mikhail and stood just looking at him. Sometime went by before Mashiro spoke again. " You seem to know a great deal about the Arrancars, or Espada for that matter. I am just a simple Squad 13 Member who is as raw as a plate of snails...." He only paused as he heard Mock-Taichou fighting above their heads. " Do I have potential? I would like to think so, but it has yet to be decided the true extent of my power.
" I have always believed that someone who knows their limmits are far more powerful than those who boast that they have no limmits. In any case it is not my place to lable people as such. Yet, you are different." Mashiro looked up and down Mikhail as if he was reading a scroll of flesh. " It seems to me that even though you are with the Healing Squad, you have a fight in you. As if you wish to become more than what you are, but not trying to get ahead. You mind your place and try not to get ahead of yourself.... Forgive me if I am wrong. I am not a master of reading people, but I do call it like I see it."
There was another silence between the two. Hatsume had not returned yet with food, so they just stood there looking at each other. Finally Mashiro broke the silence. " I do not doubt that this Espada has a great deal of strength. However, you said she is only number 4, correct? That means she is not the most powerful, and that stands to reason that there is a chance that Mock-Taichou can defeat her, right? But tell me about these other Espada... this.. um.... Buru.. what number was he and how did you stay alive?"

Mikhail looked up at Mashiro standing above him. "Potential? All of have a 50% potential to be the best we can or a 50% potential to wither away. You have potential yes but its all what you make it my friend." Sitting up straight he eyed the young shinigami. "You read people well, almost as well I as I do." He smiled, Mashiro could see into him just as others had before.
Looking past Mashiro to the brewing battle he eyed Rakey carefully Fight hard. "Yes, Captain MockaDash has a fair chance of beating her. She has one as well though, the percentage smaller but there all the same." As Mashiro querried about Buru Khail's ears perked. "Buru, Cero Espada (I think...or he is the equivelant to) and when it comes to fighting someone that out matches you by so far you can only rely on your willingness to live and to fight even though it might be hopeless. His power was in a hole nother tier compared to mine, but I fought as if I had a chance and therefore I survived."

Mashiro Morimoto 4th-Seat

" Hmm..." Mashiro looked at the ground with his chin on his right thumb and index finger as if he was in a deep place thinking. the wind picked up and it made his scarf sway to and fro. Listening to Mikhail talk about a Cero Espada made him think just how powerful Squad 4 could really be. In truth he had always respected the 4th Squad, especially since one of their members saved his life nigh on three years ago. A flash back went through his mind on the Hollow Attack. Screams and Shouts went through his brain, but he quickly came back into focus. " Well, it wouldn't matter if she was the 10th Espada or the Cero Espada, Mock-Taichou would not like us in interfere with his battle...."
Mashiro grew angry as he looked at his Captain fighting the Espada and he could do nothing to help. True, he knew that the Captain would not want anyone to get in his way, but he would jump at the first chance he got to aid his Captain. Seeing that there was nothing that he could do mustered a fire in him. He grabbed the hilt of his zanpakutou, which was safely at his side, but he did not have the strength to pull it out. There he stood frozen in anger and fear. No one around him, or at least that is what it seemed, but an empty void.
Mashiro grabbed the whole of the zanpakutou and threw it against a nearby pile of ruble. Sweat was heavy on his face as he squated at the ground. Panting heavily he spoke to in a whisper. " Win, Taichou, win.... so that I too may become stronger........"
