Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Still waiting for Ringo's response... stare

:lurks: ninja ))

As soon as the two arrancar girls hit the hydras, the sheer force of their hit was enough to knock back the hydras which once again slammed into each other, consequently veering the armored being off his course at Ringo's face and crashed on a nearby wall, jarring loose some large slabs of rock which fell on it. The trio were successful in defending themselves against the armored being, but in doing so allowed Ky to go on with his plan uninterrupted as Geheimnis proved more of a distraction for them. When Ky shot the ground and temporarily blinded the girls with the dust, Ky discreetly went out of his fusion with Geheimnis, creating a brief flash of light, and lowered his reiatsu to an undetectable level which the Bounts were so famous for as demonstrated by Jin Kariya and his group before as Geheimnis distracted the group, giving Ky to sneak past, undetected.

Appearing suddenly from behind Ringo, he wrapped his left forearm around her neck and drew a blade near her heart. Since she was just standing idly by a moment before, Ky assumed that she would be the easiest target to pick off. Ky also noticed that Rakey and the other arrancar gained immunity from the electricity and increased power just when that girl started playing her music, leading Ky to think that her flute-playing had something to do it. Therefore, if Ky took out the flute-player first, then the others would all fall as well. However, he might as well have a little fun with it.

"I admire you three for giving me ample entertainment, but please allow me to entertain you all as well. Equivalent exchange and all that," said Ky with a devious smile, tightening his hold on Ringo. "If both of you move, this b***h dies. Even if you use sonido, I'd already skewered her or snapped her neck and she'll be dead when you reach her. So, care to let me have some fun or would you want us to play with one less playmate?" asked Ky mischievously.

Rakey smiled seeing they had successfully saved ringo from the armor figure. But her smile quickly vanished when she saw Ringo in Ky's grip. "Kuso,((Sh*t))" She muttered, her eyes were full of anger but could not be seen, for they were hidden behind her mask.

Ky's smile irritated her, it made her want to slam his face into the ground. But his orders were clear, if she moved her friend, Ringo, would die. Even if he sonido was fast, his reflexes were probably faster, her shoulders dropped, and she brought herself up to stand straight. She bit her lip, not sure what to do. She couldn't run to her, Katsumi probaly couldn't run to her. Xeion, she thought worried about what had happened to him. She glanced back to see what his current state was. Was he moving or was he still immobile?

Her fingers tapped her thigh, as she looked at Ringo, she was probably terrified, and it was all her fault. If she had been more attentive she could've sonido'd to her before anything happened. Or could've spotted Ky's prescence, something, she could've done something about it. But here she stood, watching her friend, her life, it was like it was standing on the edge of a cliff.

Ringo was happy that her friends came through for her, but her smile quickly faded and turned into one of great fear as the man they were fighting appeared right behind her and held her hostage, his powerful arms making it hard for Ringo to breathe, almost choking her. Tears began to form in the sides of her eyes and became apparent that she was in pain. The feeling she had in her right now was the same feeling she had when she died. She was terrified beyond belief and her friends couldn't do anything about it. Her nii-nii was also silent as the monstrous man had everyone playing to his tune. It disgusted Ringo, but she was too terrified to even move. The only thing playing in her mind were the words, It's happening again...it's happening again...!

Ringo already knew what was about to happen next. Her experience told her what the man was going to do with her. His words already suggested it, and Ringo knew all too well what he meant by what he said. Ringo felt dead inside as her spirit grew dimmer and dimmer. She dropped Oninoteki and accepted her fate, neither squirming nor trying to escape for she knew it was futile to do so. "Rakey...Katsumi...please...take nii-nii to safety...," she murmured, a faint smile forming on her lips and her eyes turned dim, expressionless, hopeless. There was nothing more she could do, but at the very least, she wanted her nii-nii to be safe and escape with two of her friends as quickly as they could. That was the only important thing in her mind right now. If she allowed the evil man to have his way with her friends, she couldn't stand for it. If all of them escaped, he would surely kill her, but in that sense, they won because they didn't do what the man ordered them to do. Even though I'm weak...I won't lose to you..., thought Ringo.

Katsumi panicked as she saw Ky take hold of Ringo. It was an underhanded tactic, but the most logical for him given the situation. She looked around quickly, trying to see if there was some way to help the other out and wishing that she had some form or projectiles when someone else came into view.

She glanced at the newcomer, another Arrancar who's reiatsu seemed to possess a fair amount of strength. However, he was unfamiliar to Katsumi, as most of the Arrancar were due to her long absence from Las Noches. She hoped the newcomer might be able to provide Ky some distraction, though another Arrancar was unlikely to understand why a Shinigami was worth protecting.

((Yes I am basically at a loss for something to do that won't ******** us over xD))

Sin continued to stand perfectly still, his left hand hanging limply by his side while he judged and weighed the situation. A quick glance stolen toward the female arrancar's direction revealed everything. It was obvious from the look in their eyes that the shinigami had some worth in keeping alive; why, Sin did not know, and he contemplated blowing right through the girl to assault the Bount. However, he did not... he had other things in mind. Turning away, he slowly stepped out of the scene opposite the Bount. Once he was in the shadows, there was a metallic sound and then nothing. Sin was gone.

The walls around the group seemed to tremble suddenly... all that could be heard was a dull roar.
