Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I missed a bunch, Evil's just gonna come in late, okay? I'm assuming everyone's just fighting, right? ))

Evil landed with a soft thump on the ground, her Captain's robes still swirling around her as she straightened. She still wasn't in a very good mood. She looked around to see numerous battles going on, and her not being in one of them. This angered her further, making her Reitsu spike.

The Bell on her collar jingled softly, as if it wanted something. Evil ignored it, her black eyes peircing the area. Black Reitsu swirled around her, making her look as if she was wrapped in shadows.

"Why are we in this stinking place now? This is Las Noches? Pfft. "

~*Captain of Squad 10*~

Tenrai wasn't quick enough to solidly block any of the Privarion's kicks, but still managed to glace a couple of the kicks towards his face off. 'Now I am getting angry.' said Obiki to Tenrai. Suddenly Tenrai felt several more energy's enter the labyrinth, and cocked his head slightly to the side to see who it was. To his surprise two of the new enteries were Captain Ogato, and Vice-Captain Aiko.

Tenrai turned back to face the Privarion with a wicked smile on his face. "It seems that the more of your kind we kill, the more shinigami that show up to join in the fun." said Tenrai, more confidently than he had intended. He then slashed with his zanpakto horizontally, but pulled in at the last second to intentionally miss. As his sword came across to his left side, Tenrai jumped in the air and lauched a vertical swing going from top to bottom at the Privarion.

[Sorry it took so long to post back, real life stuff got in the way.]

"All too easy...," Ky whispered and then chuckled at the unbelievable ease of it all. Like the puppets which Ky considered the shinigami who were inside the labyrinth together with him, they danced on the stage and "entertained" their arrancar audience, leaving Ky free to make himself more powerful by absorbing hollow souls whom themselves had absorbed countless human souls before as well as tread safely, dealing only with the labyrinth's small fry while the bigger, badder, and stronger sentries headed to where the action was. Of course, Ky wouldn't be able to do it as successfully as he was doing it now without the help of KyCorp technology as well as his natural skill as a Bount to hide his presence from the enemy, but that was only a bonus. The piece de resistance was the fact that Ky was able to orchestrate his master plan under the guise of helping out the shinigami and even going so far as luring out the Sadistic Gale herself into playing a role as a distraction for the whole of Las Noches to attempt to stop. In the midst of the chaos, who would suspect that the barely detectable reiatsu signature which was far, far away from the group of shinigami was in actuality the Bount leader, Ky, himself? His plan was flawless.

Soon, Ky stood face to face with the door leading to the heart of Las Noches itself. With most of the sentries and other powerful arrancar busy in dealing with the assault team, Ky had more than enough time to secure passage. Even if the sentries were able to detect their catastrophic mistake, Ky would have already gotten what he wanted from Las Noches and would probably be on his way out of the facility with a satisfied smirk on his face.

After he had disabled the door's security system, Ky opened it as a gentle breeze rushed out from its doors and in front was a spiral staircase leading to the surface. Turning back one last time, Ky stared back at the darkness as he continued to feel the clashing of enormous presences, he smirked mischievously. "Looks like our meeting would have to wait a little longer, Sadistic Gale. Until then, fight. Fight until your body gives out."

[exits to Las Noches]

Ryan had been about to thank Jan for what he had done when he felt new presences. A lot of them, and powerful ones at that.

Three more Captains, a very powerful Bount - no mistaking that one, it's Ky himself - and...well, there could be no one else with power like that. Feiy's here too, then. Putting the gun away, Ryan instead drew his own zanpakuto. "Asuma Haruka," he said, his voice even colder than before. "I'm sure that you can tell who's arrived now. You have no chance of victory. Lay down your weapon and surrender, because I very much doubt that our reinforcements will grant you the same opportunity for mercy that I am."

Ryan took a look at Jan, nodded, and then used shunpo to pass Asuma and return to the main battle. Just in time, too.

"Bankai," he muttered. He didn't release it as he usually did - there was no time. All he did was use shunpo to get in front of Ogato and Aiko, holding one hand in front of him, palm facing forward. The Cero impacted on the wall of spirit particles, making them glow with energy, and Ryan concentrated hard in order to maintain the wall. The Cero dissipated, but Ryan immediately turned his gaze elsewhere - and his left arm.

The cannon's mouth glowed as Ryan gathered energy. Only time for a small blast, but this isn't an Espada - it won't take that large of a blast to negate that Cero entirely. After about a second, he fired, and the concentrated, energized shell shot toward the Gran Rey Cero, hitting it from the side. Ryan covered his eyes as the shot exploded, destabilizing the Cero and causing an even bigger explosion. "Down!" was the only thing he yelled, throwing himself to the floor - that blast was going to cause a hell of a lot of damage, and he wanted everyone as far from the centre as they could get. At the same time, Ryan let his zanpakuto seal itself again, not wanting to use his bankai unnecessarily when he might need it later.

Aiko shifted herself a tad to avoid hitting her captain and landed heavily on her side, seeing that both cero had been blocked by someone she didn't know.

Damn, what a waste of energy... she thought blankly, almost distracted from the scene around her.

She slid a short distance as she landed, sliding next to Ogato at his feet. Laying flat on her back with her katana pointing upwards, she lookued up at her captain and Hitsugaya.

"Uh...Nevermind...Guess there wasn't a problem after all." she said to Ogato as she looked up, smiled at her captain, then at Hitsugaya too. Quickly, she picked herself up as she remembered this wasn't a training exercise.
She held her blade ready in both hands, her grip on the hilt firm, but not too tight to allow free movement.

"Hey...don't I get a hello Hitsugaya? Well, I guess I'll help you anyway, just because you're my friend." She gave a playful wink, not too fussed if Hitsugaya actually saw or not.

Her attention focused on the Vizard before Hitsugaya, though staying close to her captain.

As Aiko pushed Ogato he was slightly startled. As they landed Ogato shifted his foot slowing down his slide. Once he stopped he stood up with a smile on his face trying not to laugh. When he finally gathered himself he said to Aiko, "I wasn't expecting you to do that. But thanks for the help."

Ogato dusted himself then turned to Toshiro. Grabbing hold of his zanpakuto again his said to Toshiro, "Yeah Toshiro doesn't Aiko get a hello? You can't forget about your friends especially if it's a beautiful lady friend." Ogato turned to Aiko and flashed her a big goofy grin. Turning towards the Vizard he said to himself aloud, "Now that I've got the fun out of my system it's time to get down to business. I've never fought anyone outside the Sereitei before so I'm kinda excited about this. Mainly because I get to use my full power with no remorse."

Ogato drew a line in the floor with his zanpakuto then said to Toshiro, "So our target is Kevin? What kind of name is that for a Vizard. I can't see anyone saying, Kevin is a powerful vizard. I mean that's not even a name that'll strike fear in the soul of a child." Ogato laughed at the Vizard until he began to tear up. Once he stopped he said, "Hey Toshiro do you know his whole name? I want to get one more good laugh."

A wide grin came across Saiko's face, and for a second he began to kind of seem a little... deranged.
He slid over towards Evil in comedy style, shoulder-to-shoulder bump with a wolfish grin aimed at her amusement. "Psst."

He motioned his head over towards the stairs and winked at her. Casually backing away from her, he began walking over towards the staircase that seemed to wrap upwards along the wall, going upwards like a tower out of the Labyrinth. He began whistling, as he slyly made his movements towards their future.
