Welcome to Gaia! ::

((feel free to make this situation even more insane if you really want to throw yourself in... I'm always prone to coming in on the worst of situations myself... >> And yeah, I still can't think of anything to do that isn't useless so have a character rage post.))

After the other Arrancar seemed to take no action, Katsumi's attention turned back towards Ky. She couldn't look away as she saw what he was doing to the other. Normally, something like this honestly wouldn't bother her, but seeing someone whom she knew being treated in such a fashion was something that made Katsumi's anger grow, especially as she couldn't really do anything to change the situation.

Of course, it was obvious that Ky's intention was to make Rakey and Katsumi angry... but he knew what he was doing so it was working quite well. She simply glared at him, not wanting to say anything as it would only give him satisfaction at having accomplished his goal.

At the same time, she couldn't help but be a bit angry at Ringo, for having given up so easily. Had she been in the other's situation, she would have probably come up with some way to strike back at the other, even something simple. But of course, everyone was different so there had to be some reason Ringo was the way she was.

((Real nice, Mr. Pervert...I hope nii-nii beats you...))

Ringo cried even more when Ky had her way with her. She bit her lip, trying her best not to scream, as he did what he did with her body. The feeling she had was absolutely revolting. It was the same feeling she had while she was getting raped before she was killed. Ringo cried, helpless, until she heard a click from behind her. She then heard a voice which could only come from captain Ryan of squad 6. He had come to possibly save her, but by then, Ringo was all drained. She didn't care any longer what Ky did with her. She was physically and mentally exhausted and just cried. That was the only thing she could do. Anything else would be useless.

((Just read through the past pages to get an idea of where you guys were.))

After what seemed like an eternity for Xeion, he was finally able to move his fingers, then his hands, and was now able to get a glimpse of the fight he had failed to see as the life in his eyes returned. When he did so, however, he was greeted by the most horrifying, most degrading, and most shocking sight he had ever witnessed in a while -- it was his sister, Rin-chan, being sexually molested by Ky. Xeion knew his sister very well and he knew her trauma before she died. Once again, it seemed as though she was experiencing the same thing she went through before she died. As her brother, it was painful for him to just look. He felt helpless as he couldn't move, seeing his sister get molested like that and by the fact that his friend and Raven commander was doing it made it hurt even more.

As he watched the traumatizing scene play out before his eyes, his memory returned him to when he and Rin-chan were training. They had just finished and were chatting happily over some ramen under a big tree out in the outskirts of the Sereitei. He remembered her confiding in him about how she remembered the gruesome and humiliating way of how she died and his promise to her to always protect her and not let that happen again -- that was the entire reason why he adopted her as his sister in the first place. However, that concept of always protecting her shattered before his very eyes. It was then Xeion realized that he had broken his promise, not once, but twice. He was helpless as Ky did what he did with her, breaking his promise of both protecting her and not allowing that incident before she died to happen again. His voice back then began to play in his mind, adding more to his misery.

"Rin-chan, as your brother, I'll promise to protect you always and forever, ne?"

"...As your brother, I'll promise to protect you always and forever, ne?"

"...As your brother, I'll promise to protect you always and forever..."

"...As your brother...protect you always and forever..."

"...Protect you...always and forever..."

"...Protect you..."

"...Always and forever..."

Then, Elena spoke and everything that happened after that began with these few words.

"Overdrive charge complete."

All of a sudden, a blur passed quickly in between Rakey-san and Kat-chan. In a flash, Geheimnis was slammed against the wall behind it, creating a crated on the wall due to the force that slammed him so hard. This all happened in the blink of an eye as Xeion, with his head down, appeared behind Ky, beside Ryan-taicho, and put his hand gently on Ryan-taicho's gun which was aimed at the back of Ky's head. Dark-red and pitch-black reiatsu replaced Xeion's usual blue one as it pulsed all over his body. Because his head was bobbed down, the strands of his hair covered his eyes, but it was apparent that he was crying. "Please, Ryan-taicho...let me handle this...," he whispered gently then disappeared once again.

Reappearing a good distance away from Ky, Xeion was now carrying Rin-chan in his arms, his head still down and crying. How was Xeion able to move so quickly? Well, he basically used cosmic energy to bend the dimensions around him slightly so that he was moving in a completely different dimension than the current one -- a dimension where things moved 1/4 times slower than the normal speed which gave Xeion just enough time to save Ringo before Ky could continue harassing her. Gently putting Rin-chan down in the middle of Rakey-san and Kat-chan, Xeion began to clean Ringo off and fix her clothes like a brother would do if his sister fell down and dirtied herself. He didn't talk while he did all this which more than expressed how sad he was because of what happened.

After doing this, Xeion gently caressed his sister's face before he leaned in and kissed her forehead. Standing up, he slowly walked over to Rakey-san and kissed her on the forehead as well before he went to Kat-chan and did the same. Although the forehead kisses looked like the inappropriate thing to do since they were usually considered as an act of affection, they were in fact, not, in this case. Like what he did before, it was a sign of asking for forgiveness, but instead of asking it for Ky's sake, he was asking it for his sake this time because of his failure which led to all this horrible things to happen. His kiss already told the three girls what he wanted to tell them, something which even words cannot express -- Xeion's deep sadness.

Turning around to face Ky once again, Xeion began to walk toward Ky, raising his head to reveal a smile while tears flowed down his face. He was sad, but tried to hide it with a smile since he had always thought that smiling always lessens the most painful experiences in life and it was something he taught to all of the students he had under him, but even this didn't provide respite for the pain in his heart.

The Knight Sabers which had grown inactive for quite a while immediately came to life and flew to Xeion's location from where they were placed. Elena, his zanpakuto, also joined in as she rematerialized herself from a Dark Mirror and placed herself firmly on Xeion's right hand once again. She was already out of her shikai and hat returned to her normal appearance, but that was all part of what was about to happen next.

"O pitiful shadow, cloaked in darkness...your presence has brought great pain and immense suffering to those around you...your hollow soul drowns in your sins..."

As Xeion did this, he slowly raised his left hand up to his blue shades and grabbed the bridge of his blue glasses and began to slowly remove his shades by the bridge.

"I'll show you...what death is..."

After he finished chanting, he completely removed his blue shades, revealing the red eyes of a Revenant which he hid behind those blue shades of his which acted as a powerful seal to keep the Angra Mainyu inside him at bay. After much training, however, Xeion managed to take control of the Angra Mainyu inside him after the Dark Tower incident, but only for a limited time before he had to put his enchanted shades back again. As he did this, a little girl, about the age of 13, with red eyes and raven-black hair, sporting a traditional, all black seifuku with a red scarf, appeared atop one of Las Noches' towers, accompanied by three other people -- one handsome man, one old man, and one young woman, the old man and the young woman both wearing traditional kimonos with one wearing full brown while the other wore a light-blue one with several butterfly designs. The little girl bowed her head and sighed before all of them disappeared in a pitch-black portal, leaving the place.

The entire dimension around all of them began to distort before everything went pitch black. A small chime from a shrine bell was heard before the darkness quickly faded as Ky and Xeion, along with Ryan-taicho, Rakey-san, Kat-chan, and Rin-san, were transported into a different area all together. It was blatant that they weren't in Las Noches any longer. They were standing in a vast meadow, surrounded by deep, red roses with an equally red moon, shining in the sky which was the only source of illumination in the land. Circled around the vast meadow were numerous trees which seemed to be alive and moving. A gentle wind passed through the weird area, giving the place a surreal, yet creepy feel to it.

But it wasn't just the place that changed as Xeion was now wearing something completely different than his Raven uniform before.


His Overdrive had been activated as the energies from his Raven's ARC synchronized with himself and his ARMS, thus giving them a completely different look. Xeion now looked like a shinobi of some sort, with red and black armor and loose, blue and white clothing underneath. But the most distinguishing part of the set was the eye guards Xeion wore. Although it covered his eyes completely, there were some gaps in the armor on the left part, and if one would look closer, one could have a better look at what a Revenant's cursed eyes looked like. The Knight Sabers which floated around him also transformed, and instead of broadswords, the Knight Sabers were now in their lance forms due to the Overdrive -- Dragon Slayers.

"Is this what you want...Ky? Did you want to go...to a much deeper place this time...around? Well...congratulations. Welcome...to the World of Nightmares, Level Two: Red Garden," spoke Xeion in a different tone of voice -- one filled with intense sadness and remorse. The pain Ky caused was just unbearable that Xeion couldn't help but shed his usual tone for now.

"Ky...you've done a most heinous crime. You have not only insulted a woman's dignity...you also made the most unbearable, most unforgivable crime known to knighthood. Ky...you made a woman cry...," he said, raising Elena to him. "But most of all, you made me cry as well...because that woman...is my sister." Xeion's reiatsu pulsed which made the wind blow twice as hard in the surrounding area as if it, too, was angry and resonated with Xeion's emotions of pure sadness.

((Hey, does anyone know where the prisoners are? 'Cuz I wanna go get them and end this thing. It's getting really slow. >.< Well, for me anyway.))

((Thank you Xeion. ^^ Do you know how many there are and their names? if no one minds I'll just sneak in and grab them while everyone is distracted...But people can still continue their battles if they wish. ))

(( XD Evil will save you some pets Xeion. >.< Thanks again, I'm gonna go save those prisoners now. ^^ ))

Evil sighed, sliding her zanpkato back into it's sheath. She looked around, seeing everyone involved in their own things at the moment. Her eyes sparked briefly and she smiled.

She'd finish this thing and save the hostages. That was what they were here for, right? Not to fight excessively and ignore those that had been captured by the enemy.

She closed her eyes briefly, searching for the reitsu signature of those who had been captured. She had a paper in a pocket in her Captain's robes with the names and faces of those who had been taken.

Her eyes opened, a determined look stamped on her face. She strode off in the direction of the Reitsu of the hostages, before speeding up and eventually flash stepping to their location.

~*Captain of Squad 10*~

Rakey let out a deep breath of relief, seeing Ringo out of Ky's hands and back to them. Tears rolled off her cheeks, as her resurreccion melted away, her eyes now visible, and her horns shrunk back to small bumps, her arms returned and her legs turned from the deer legs, back to the normal legs they were. Her zanpaktou dropped into her hands, and she hung it on her back. She watched Xeion give her a kiss on the forehead, it held the same, if not a similar meaning as to when he gave her one in the Surveillance and Torture Center. After Xeion-san walked off toward Ky, Rakey knelt down to Ringo-chan, looking her in the eyes,and whispered to her, "I'm sorry," she stopped, and wiped the tears on Ringo's face. She felt so guilty for letting Ringo, her friend, get into Ky's hands.

Rakey's eyes were released from Ringo's face when she saw Ryan approach Ringo. She slid back a bit, assuming he was going to say something to her. After saying some stuff, he turned to Katusmi and said, "If you wish to follow us, then follow, but if you wish to stay, you may stay. That is your choice and no one else's."

Rakey had a feeling that staying here wouldn't be a good idea, so she stood, watching Ringo and Ryan converse. While they did she walked over to the door, and opened it, holding it open and waiting for the others.
