 ”So… let me get this straight. I just play this… thing for as long as I can?” asked the rather confused man as the young brown-skinned boy nodded in response ”Pretty much, yeah. You’ll be compensated, of course.” with that the white-haired lad extended a brown envelope with the unmistakable mark of the Gotei 13’s 9th Division. Opening it, the man found a sum of money enough to last him until he died, and then some. Closing his mouth, the man coughed a bit to shake off the feeling of utter joy and shock ”What’s to stop me from just taking this money and not upholding my end of the bargain?” the man asked. Smiling, the lad temporarily removed the headset from his ears before swinging around his backpack, opening it and rummaging through it to find something. Pulling out a folded piece of white cloth, the lad showed the back side to the man who was once again caught in surprise ”The wrath of a shinigami Captain should suffice as insurance, correct?” speechless the man simply nodded. Pocketing the money, he then set up the lad’s machine. Once he turned it on, he was surprised as music erupted from the black fishnet like surface of the two boxes. Turning around to ask the lad what it was, the man found that he had already left. With no other choice the man simply continued playing it, attracting the attention of nearby children.
Floating well above the Rukongai village, the lad smiled as he reminisced about his past life here. He had arrived via the time-travel spell like all the others, though he had other matters to attend to besides simply fighting off the invaders, something he had already asked permission for from Captain-Commander Senka, though he had a feeling she had already forgotten, either by accident or on purpose ”Right, now that that’s settled, on with the show!” shouted the lad as he pulled out a pair of trench knives. Immediately afterwards, lightning struck him and with a massive surge of reiatsu, a bolt of electricity jolted off from the area at lightning speeds, making its way towards the Seiretei Academy, its trajectory and destination already clear.
Just in time, as the Aine Aceline aimed yet another explosion at Hibiki, the surge of lightning stopped directly in front of the Captain, revealing the lad himself to be the bolt that zipped through the entire length of Seiretei in a matter of seconds. Without a word, the young man grabbed Hibiki by the collar and tossed him out of the area before surging off towards him to evade the explosion. Once that was done, he once again grabbed his collar and used Shunpo to relocate both of them to a safer nearby location.
[Near 7th Division, near Hibiki, from Rukongai # 80]

☼☼☼☼Lexaria◙Anterion☼☼☼☼
≈~≈~≈~≈~≈~≈~≈~≈~≈~≈
St☼rs are the forge of the universe. Having completed her primary objective, Lexaria continued to observe the various battles from afar. Unlike the others she hadn't read completely through the dossier on the Intemporel, so she was now taking mental note of their various nuances and combat tells. Taiyounari was extremely unhappy about the lull in combat. Even now Lex could hear the spirit's voice in her mind, "There is no need to watch. Let me loose so that I may turn all the world to ash. I want to burn them all and let the ashes run through my fingers. Why must we simply observe? Every part of me is craving the moment I light them all ablaze. Allow me to show them the flame that even gods cannot tame, Lexaria!" While she normally wouldn't listen to Taiyounari's suggestions as the spirit had made it quite apparent she was a homicidal pyrophiliac many many times before, a fact that she had shared only with her father, Lexaria felt that it was time for her to stop sitting on the sidelines for now and join in the fray with her allies. "Fine, Taiyounari. I've observed long enough."
"Yes. Finally. Burn it. Burn it all." Taiyounari replied, her voice brimming with anticipation. Just as Lexaria, went to move however a screaming girl came flying up from the ground below. With any hesitation, she slid Helios back into it's straps before holding out her arms and catching the recruit who had now reached the top of her arc and began to fall back to earth. The girl continued screaming with her eyes closed for a moment before she realized she had stopped moving and slowly opened them to see a clearly annoyed Lex staring at her. "Are you quite done?" Lex inquired as she looked over the recruit in her arms. "S-sorry. I thought..." "...That you were going to die? No. Thankfully someone saw you and tossed you out of the line of fire before it was too late. Why are you still out here? All students were ordered to evacuate to the bunkers." The girl looked away sheepishly before responding. "I had to go to the bathroom really badly so I went first and by the time I got done everyone was gone. When I tried to go to the bunkers alone I got surrounded," the girl replied laughing with embarrassment.
Lexaria's eyes widened with as much anger as shock over the situation. It was then that she found herself speaking almost involuntarily. "Foolish child! Do you not grasp the severity of your folly?! This is no laughing matter! When you are given an order to evacuate by your commanding officer you should heed it for your own safety. If you cannot manage a task as simple as getting your bowels under control in order to ensure the continuation of your very life, then how can you expect to control your sword in the face of the enemy? Nay, I say you shall be cut down without effort as surely as we move through the air. At the very least, have the foresight to secure an officer for an escort. There is no room for embarrassment in a life or death situation. Learn this lesson well, and do not let it be lost from your memory anytime soon. If you cannot handle that task, then let me know now so that I may feed you to the insatiable flames of my Zanpakuto." As she finished speaking, Lexaria gave the girl a stare that was so cold it could give someone frostbite while Taiyounari began to heat up the air around them. "Mmm...yes...let me roast her flesh," Taiyounari moaned in ecstasy. The sudden heat increase snapped Lex out of her fit and she slowly began to calm down while simultaneously reducing the temperature of Taiyounari. By the time Lexaria had fully calmed herself the tongue lashing had more than done it's damage. The girl was sobbing openly in her arms now. "I-I'm sorry. I always me-mess up like...like this. Everybody te-tells me that I'm a big....failure. You even have to c-carry me like a child be-because I can't airwalk."
The sight of the girl crying filled Lexaria with regret over the words she had let loose in anger and she sighed before speaking in a more centered and inviting tone. "Look. Don't cry. I'm sorry I let emotions get so out of hand and I yelled at you like that. It was uncalled for and very out of line," she said as she began to carry the girl towards the bunker, taking an aerial route to avoid the avant garde for now. "And don't listen to what the others say. You aren't a failure until you accept it. I was a pariah during my days in the academy as well. I would let my rage get the best of me, still do sometimes as you just saw, and had trouble controlling my Zanpakuto as a result of it, causing many...incidents so to say. The most notable of them was when I lit the instructor's haori on fire one day during Kido training when I became frustrated. The class thought was funny but he didn't find it very amusing." She laughed at this in an attempt to a rapport with the girl and the sound of a chuckle let Lex know it was working. "He said I would never amount to anything as a shinigami, but I think my captaincy proves him wrong. It's all because I didn't let what people were saying about me discourage my self-esteem. So...um..."
Picking up that Lexaria was looking for her name the girl interrupted and said, "Reina or Rei for short." Lex looked at the her and nodded then said, "Right, Rei, I'm Lexaria, or Lex if you're so inclined. So, back to my previous point, as the rappers of this period would say, shake dem hataz off n worry bout doin yo thang, Rei-Rei." They shared a laugh at that statement as they arrived at the entrance to the bunker which had a veritable swarm of avant garde slinking about outside. "NO! Don't befriend her. Punish her! BURN HER!" Taiyounari growled. Lexaria sighed but didn't acknowledge Taiyounari for the moment as she knew her zan was about to get it's murder fix for the moment, "Alright Rei, here's the plan: The bunker has definitely been locked off by now so I'm gonna give you the code to unlock it so you can get inside. Only academy instructors and Captains are allowed to have this code so tell absolutely no one and if anyone asks I keyed it in myself. I'm gonna clear away this group, then I'll set you down so you can unlock the door and run inside to safety while I hold off any others that show up." Rei nodded in agreement with the plan. Lex could see a determination in her eyes that had to have been the same determination her father saw in hers when he first took her in: the look of a pariah that had found someone that not only accepted them, but believed in their ability when no one else would. Satisfied with what she saw in Rei at that moment, Lex leaned over and whispered the unlock code to the bunker entrance to her. "Ok, I got it," Rei said enthusiastically.
"Alright then. Party time!" Lexaria said as she shifted held the girl by her waist in her left hand while she drew Helios with her right, "2nd Gear, engage! Mure Bakugekiki!" Another glyph appeared on the sword and shattered in the same manner as the first followed by a hissing sound as Taiyounari's concentration increased once more. The avant garde hadn't taken notice of them just yet, but that was about to change. They shuffled about aimlessly as usual then a group of explosions ripped through their numbers sending their inflamed forms flying in every direction and leaving the path to the bunker open. Without a moments hesitation Lex dropped to the ground and let Rei go. Much to her surprise, the girl didn't leave right away, but instead stopped to give her a hug. "Thanks, Lex, I hope we meet again someday." "Count on it. Now go. They're already starting to regroup." As the girl entered the code and disappeared into the depths of the tunnel to safety, Lexaria gave her one last smile, albeit a melancholy one, as she knew she would never see Rei again. Judging by the fact the she never once made contact with her in the future, Lex could only assume that Rei would die long before she herself became a shinigami. A sad thought, but it was a fact that one had to accept when traveling into the past that not everyone you meet would live to see you again in the future. She would've liked to have given Rei something that may aid her in avoiding her own demise, but changing the timeline by doing so could have serious repercussions for their own time and she wouldn't risk that. "Alright you ********. I'm bored. Who wants to dance?!" she said turning her attention back to the avant garde for now before clearing away as large line of them with a wall of flame much to Taiyounari's elation. She then slowly began leading them away from the concealed entrance to the bunker, for fear that the higher ranked intemporel may discover it's location and go after the inexperienced trainees for hostages if they lingered there too long.

[528] Things seemed to go downhill in terms of Anya’s mood while awaiting Fuyu’s response. He had obviously heard her, she was not one to be entirely quite when she did speak in front of people, and yet he did not acknowledge her at all. Regardless of his reasons, this set upon her the attitude of an arrogant man who solely felt he was higher than everyone. When he did finally speak to her, it was to address her fallen father and his apparentness as Fuyu’s wanted opponent. Slipping her right hand through her left arm and vice versa, Anya crossed her arms and softly tapped her right foot on the smooth ground beneath it. His attitude has already begun to wear on her nerves and she was close to getting too excited to fight correctly.
Tsukiko stepped forward, or rather Emrys stepped forward, first to attend to the prudish man before them. She gave him a vial of drugs that would heal him and told him to take it to restore his strength for his well being depended on it. Even then, the man denied wanting to use it unless Anya’s father was restored to fighting condition. Fuyu spoke as though Anya was a toy, something that ‘didn’t interest’ him. How dare he!? Internalizing the anger, but letting it pour out, Anya took in a deep breath and as she let the breath out, heavy heat waves were emitted from her mouth and over all body, causing small pieces of debris to catch fire and burn up. Her eyes shot at Fuyu as Tsukiko retaliated with a seamlessly invisible attack towards the man. The tone of voice Emrys used at the end of his address as Tsukiko was clearly Hei-sama. Anya had come to know his voice well and to respect as well as fear it, if heard in battle at least. She has never had to experience the latter, but she has been told many stories from her father and the Hakase’s as well as books of history.
Anya’s mind refocused on Fuyu and her lip curled as her cheek twitched up, creating a grimace of distaste. “Interested or not, you will learn to pay attention to one who is going to end this ego you have.” Clenching her fist, she lifted her father’s body into the air using her telekinesis and moved him into the research facility for safe keeping before vanishing from her spot on the ground appearing in the air at the same level of Fuyu but about 20 feet away her right hand held towards the man. “Ignorance can be bliss in some cases, can it not?” Within the palm of her hand, an orb of solar energy flashed into appearance, forming into the shape of something akin to an orange, in color as well. It was then shot forth from her hand towards Fuyu at a great speed, able to close the gap between her and the man within a 5 second time frame at the most. The attack would singe and burn as well as throw Fuyu back if it were to land and aimed to do these quite well.

Condemning Me Today The day was till young, and though Yuki was anticipating a trip to the human world resort, as usual, she continued to do her usual routine work around her gardens. She eventually ventured away from her toils and head for the portal to the resort, after grabbing a large bag from her personal quarters. Knowing full well there was a pool, Yuki, however, had no desire to go swimming, the smell of the ocean and the crisp cool air on a beach chair sounded plenty relaxing to her, and besides, a mental image had appeared in her head of just what would be happening with a pool around so many others who would be undoubtedly enjoying this day off. After arriving at the portal, Yuki noticed a few others arriving, a party of seven, with one person in particular seeming a bit upset. As Yuki came into view of the others, they all seemed to stop, looking rather surprised and unsure as to what they should do. Yuki simply gestured them to go first and so five did, leaving Yuki and three others behind. "Shall we go then?" Yuki's voice whispered gently as she pointed towards the portal, though the others took it more as a command rather than a friendly 'Lets go have fun!' As Yuki and the others exited the portal, they gave her a bow and then leapt off in a frenzy to get to the pool, each one shoving the next trying to get into the lead, Yuki giggled, it was nice to see such energetic souls. She ventured into the lobby then out into the main pool area.
[Main Pool]
Yuki placed her hand just above her eyes to block the sun from blinding her, she noticed a good handful of people all around the pool, though she was simply scouting out a good place to sit and soak up some warm sun. She spotted a chair on the left side of the pool and immediately headed for it. After claiming her spot, she rummaged through her bag, pulling out sunglasses, a large white brimmed hate and sun block. Yuki also pulled out a container full of an orange liquid, which was freshly squeezed orange juice Yuki had prepared earlier that morning. Yuki took a large gulp of her home made brew before capping it and placing it back in her large bag, which seemed to contain many other items as it was bulging outwardly. Yuki was wearing a white blouse, short white shorts and a very light green hand knitted sweater. After placing on her accessories, she laid back and allowed the warmth of the sun to sooth her into a relaxing state, her body felt like it was melting under the suns gaze, she loved the feeling. Yuki was paying little to no mind to the others, only enjoying listening to them enjoying themselves. ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ ͇ Only Forces Another To Complete Your Focus Tomorrow "A haven yea. Yet it must fall ere we be saved.
Too frail a shell, and the humans should not thrive.
Too stout a shell, and they would not die.
Slaughter and salvation. Two irreconcilable focuses we bore.
Yet bound were we in a cocoon prison impervious to our power.
And so we thank you, for granting us our longed-for birth.
We are the abandoned one, born but now to die.
Our name is Orphan. By our hand the world shall know redemption!"

 ✁《 HAKASE ELISIA 》▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃As the ground slightly trembled under her feet, her common sense instantly kicked in to confirm the fact that this battle for Seireitei was progressing faster than she had originally believed, especially if she, in a rather isolated spot at this moment in time, could feel the effects of fighting. Steadying herself, she spared the briefest of glances to Seth, making a spur-of-the-moment decision as she stepped forward towards him, her hand stretched out to his face. The Teidenkitai worked almost instantaneously, mostly as a result of the injuries that he sustained before. Her face was impassive, betraying only the slightest touch of guilt as she caught his unconscious body with her right arm, muttering a soft apology, entirely redundant since he had no chance of hearing her. Staring at him for a little bit, she shrugged her shoulders, commenting in an offhanded manner, “Well, I’ll be long gone from this time if he wakes up…” They had wasted too much time talking and attempting to reason this out here. She should have done this at the beginning, or not have allowed Hideki’s spirit to put all the responsibility on her. Hoisting Seth’s body over one shoulder, she discarded all those thoughts hassling her before taking off towards her intended destination.
Her footsteps were meant to be as quiet as possible, but the pitter-patter of her footsteps, as she made her way across Seireitei, could easily be heard, as her anxiety propelled her faster and faster forward. Enemies were all around and it had been a miracle that she had not meant a foe along the way. Perhaps the others had distracted them and she had a feeling that no enemy was really willing to fight somebody that would not fight in the first place. Sufficiently calm enough to slow down her pace and catch her breath for a few seconds, she soon realized that she was standing right in front of the desired building. The Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho. Shock coursed through her entire body and she shivered, anticipation building up in her mind as she stared longingly at it. She was not allowed much time to ponder or muse over everything as she had already felt a heated battle going on nearby. Being outside was risky, though she could pinpoint several Shinigami on this foe. In a deft movement, she flicked the hood of her cloak over her face once more as she entered.
The hospital was busy as expected with nurses and healers darting this way and back. Approaching a rather stern-looking 4th Division member, whom she knew would not know her in this time, she gently transferred Seth from her shoulder to his arms, telling him softly, “He was injured on the battlefield and he seems to be fine now, but please make sure of it.” The Shinigami opposite her blinked in surprise, only remembering after a moment of silence to fulfill his job as he hurried off. She watched his retreating back, her worries over Seth at rest. Luckily enough, the people around her seemed to have little time to worry about another Shinigami, since she had let out a little of her Reiatsu so that they wouldn’t mistaken her for an enemy, and thus, she crossed the hospital without too much difficulty. Her nervousness increased as she counted her steps to distract herself before crossing her fingers and hurriedly going into where Tsukiko was.
Despite the ridiculous amount of mental preparations that she had gone over and over again before, she was still thrown off-balance by the sight of the child-form of her wife. While she had several recollections of what she was supposed to expect, they had dimmed over the years and had been largely replaced by her current appearance. A red blush spread up her cheeks as she stared at Tsukiko, breathing deeply in and out as she tried to get over this sudden surprise.
“Holy sh----” she cut herself short, amending her words as she remembered that this was still a young girl in front of her, “----ugar. I forgot how young you were. You are.” Entirely muddling up all her words and floundering for a rescue route, her hand gripped the door handle out of necessity as she struggled to stand upright and keep a relatively level mind. Feeling that it would be more appropriate to be polite on their first meeting, she kneeled down beside the girl, half in a sign of respect and half because of the lack of feeling in her legs. “Hakase Tsukiko-san,” she uttered in her most formal and stiff voice, “You…won’t remember me, I’m guessing, but I…um…certainly do…especially since…” Her tone slipped as she hurried her words along, feeling her body tense in embarrassment once more, “I came with the others from the future. By the way, I’m…Elisia.” She raised her eyes to glance once more at the image of her wife in this time, as she sought to explain this situation as simply as possible without seeming like a stalker, but there wasn’t too much that could do that at all.
“……I-I-I’m your wife.”

博士雪
Ichibantai Taichō
[Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho]
It was a few minutes before Rei made it to the Hospital and ducked into the front lobby; time enough for Senka to launch Vide into the street and slam his face into the ground. The nurses at the desk shrieked as the quake hit their building: pictures threatened to fall off the wall, desks and chairs wobbled, and a few books hopped off the shelf along the back wall. It was a minor one and there would be no significant damage as a result, but it was unnerving just the same. Rei steadied herself, waiting for it to quickly pass by, and then joined the rest of the staff in scrambling to check on patients. It was a few moments before she managed to extract herself from the crowd, zip up an empty stairwell, and hustle down the hall to Yuki's room.
When she entered, she could see Kuzumi in the corner, occupying a single chair. Emiya had nodded off and was sitting in his lap, hooked up to an IV and her wounds were dressed. Kuzumi, who had his hand tenderly lain across the bandage on her stomach, looked up as the door creaked open. She exchanged looks with him, but neither said a word. Senka and Anya occupied the crib a foot or so from the humans; they were alert and biting on opposite ends of a small blanket. A glance to the right showed that Tsukiko was sleeping, curled up, at the foot of Yuki's bed, who was in the same sit-up position as she had left her. The nurse beside the bed moved to Rei as she entered, and had a quick discussion involving the vial that Senka had given Rei.
It took a moment or two to convince her that the stuff wasn't going to kill Yuki before she got the correct dose into her IV. "Will that do, Rei-san?" She asked softly. Touching the bed's railing lightly, Rei looked from Yuki back to the nurse and nodded slowly. "Let's hope so..." Under the impression she was no longer needed at the moment, the nurse made a move towards the door but stopped short of exiting. She turned around and met Rei's eyes, wearing a puzzled expression. "Most of the staff is terrified; I've heard a great deal of roars, explosions, and then there was that shock wave just now. What in the world is going on out there?" Pausing to consider how to best answer this, Rei shuffled her feet and flicked her eyes towards the human male in the corner, who was now all ears. "Well, from what I understand, it's an attack. I'm told that it's a group of supernatural beings—"
Yuki lay listening with her eyes shut tight. She was very groggy upon awakening. The words she was hearing seemed to be traveling very slowly from her ears to her brain, making them difficult to understand. Her limbs felt like lead; her eyelids too heavy to lift. She exhaled a raspy breath, and Rei nearly tripped trying to get back to her side. Quickly taking Yuki's hand, she dropped to her knees and procured water in a cup, seemingly out of thin air. Bringing it to Yuki's mouth, she tipped it back and Yuki relished in the cold liquid hitting the back of her throat. A few gulps of water later, Rei set the cup aside and brushed Yuki's hair from her face, then palmed her cheek with a concerned look. Finding a bit of strength in her, Yuki put her hand on Rei's and tried to open her eyes. She caught a bunch of fuzzy shapes before they slid shut.
"Yuki-sama, it's me... Rei. How are you feeling?" Rei said softly. It was as though Yuki's memory was on fast forward; the apartment — the war — falling, and then... blackness. Her ears rang, and a swarm of other memories came flooding back to her. Hei had spoken to her numerous times while she was unconscious, and although she hadn't answered, she had heard it, understood. Sitting up with a jolt, Yuki braced herself and panted heavily while the nurse and Rei shot her worried looks. Rei looked like she was about to say something, but decided against it. At her feet, she saw a girl curled up, sleeping — she recognized her to be Tsukiko immediately, she was her mother after all — and to her right she saw a crib, which have been holding Senka. "Hei, where's Hei?" She asked hoarsely, looking to Rei.
"H-he's in—" Rei stammered. It was difficult for her to tell Yuki, who had just come out of a seven-month coma, that Hei was in prison and wouldn't be able to see her. However, Yuki realized it on her own and finished with, "Maggot's Nest, right," before tearing the blanket off her body and attempting to get off the bed. She felt a sharp pain in her arm and was pulled back into the bed by the combined effort of Rei and the IV in her arm. Landing on the bed, she swore loudly, causing Tsukiko to stir. Only Kuzumi had noticed this; everyone else was paying too close attention to Yuki, especially Rei. "Mistress, you musn't move just yet! Please stay put!" Rei pleaded with her, still holding her hand tightly. "I want to hold my daughter! How long has it been since she's seen her mother!?" Yuki snapped.
"Then I'll get her for you," Rei responded calmly, immune to Yuki's frustration. Studying her for a second, Yuki conceded and relaxed, allowing Rei to retrieve and hand Senka to her. By this time, Tsukiko sat up and rubbed her eyes, sleepily calling out, "Mommy?" Yuki beckoned her forward, cradling Senka, but Tsukiko slipped off the bed and walked over to kiss her cheek and took and empty chair. She wasn't really in the mood for affection, and busied herself with her communicator — trying to get an update on the status of the portal — while Yuki apologized for being short and Rei brought her up to speed, explaining the stuff that Hei had left out of their conversations. Just then, Elisia entered, and most eyes turned towards her, no one seemed all that shocked to see her. Yuki recognized her as being older immediately — as did Rei — Kuzumi didn't know her, and Tsukiko was too engrossed in what she was doing to notice her.
Yuki watched her carefully for the moment with an air of curiosity; Rei busied herself with purifying the accumulated dirt and grime that had built up on Yuki since her last bath. Swinging her legs back and forth, she only broke concentration when Elisa kneeled in front of her. Her head still down, she raised her eyebrows as she listened, and finally looked up at the last sentence. Naturally she didn't understand what she was talking about. Blinking, she gazed vaguely at her before turning to look at her mother, who responded with a small, reassuring nod. She pocketed the communicator and locked eyes with Elisia. There was a nagging feeling in the back of her mind that she knew her, but with her memory gone, she couldn't remember how she knew her. She reached out to poke her in the face and, satisfied that she was real and not a hallucination, she slid out of the chair. "Lady, I have no idea who you are, and I'm no one's wife. I'm only nine, my daddy would kill me if I tried to get married. And only boys and girls get married. Who ever heard of two girls marrying?" She sounded incredulous, as if the very idea was completely unheard of.
Having nothing more to say, she went back to what she had been doing, seconds before receiving a sharp blow to her head. Yuki had been fruitlessly trying to take a swing at her for her manners, but when she found that she couldn't reach, the nurse had hit her across the head with her knuckles in Yuki's place. While Tsukiko groaned in pain, clutching her head, Yuki mouthed a thank-you to the nurse, who left them to their vices. Yuki offered Elisia a sympathetic smile and a mild shrug. "I'd venture to guess she's not quite to that point yet. From what I understand, she's so consumed by work that she still thinks boys are disgusting. I'm sure that's a relief for her father..." Drifting off, she looked to Rei who seemed to read her mind. "You want me to take them, don't you?"
Yuki nodded. "It's for the best, I can't go into hiding without at least lending a hand. Get them to Hei, break in or break him out if you have to. At this point, I don't care." With that, she pulled the IV from her arm and slid off the bed, passing Senka to Rei, and then she slipped into her clean Shihakusho, which was draped over the back of the soft chair that Hei slept in many a night. It was unclear whether she noticed that her haori was missing or not, but whatever the case, she slipped out of the room, but not before passing a hand over Emiya and healing her injuries in a split-second. She was out the door quickly, sashaying down the hallway and turning many heads. All around, people were running into things, dropping what they were holding, or stopping mid-sentence as they stared incredulously at the sight of Yuki up and about. After reaching the front lobby she was tying her hakame-himo, having dressed while walking, and stepped out the door. Seconds later, her Reiatsu spiked and died in an instant, and three dozen Avant-garde surrounding the hospital were reduced to dust. The winds will blow their own freshness into you,xxxxxxxx

After lunch the girls had managed to escape the confines of the estate after overhearing their sisters talking; now they were a giddy audience to the Space-Time transfers. They stood amongst those that had chosen to watch this event, but were completely invisible to those that were with them. They had stood quietly watching for the most part, trading thoughts between one another for a while. Kangen was moments away from leaving when Riku suddenly turned her eyes to the empty space next to her. "Let's go with them!" She said excitedly. Risa froze, absentmindedly twirling her wand in her hand. She responded seconds later, uncertainty in her voice. "I don't think that's a good idea, onee-chan..." But it was too late, Risa barely had time to finish her thought before she could feel that her sister had darted from her spot. Riku silently aimed her own wand at Kangen's pocket and muttered "Securus Expandere" to magically expand its capacity. She then changed herself into a pygmy marmoset and climbed up his leg and jumped into his pocket. Risa, who could feel what her sister was doing, sighed, followed suit and landed next to Riku seconds later. They both returned to their own bodies and were reduced to a fit of silent giggles. Risa had apparently gotten over any misgivings quite quickly.
[Present Time - Rukongai #80]
They waited with bated breath as Kangen stepped forward to be transported, and were all ears as Lee spoke the incantation, hurling them into the past. Seconds later, they figured it was all over and two furry little heads poked out of Kangen's pocket. The Rukongai was immediately recognizable, and both watched tentatively as Kangen went about his business in the area. They quickly became restless with the delay of entering the Seireitei. "God, could he be any more boring?" Riku's impatience echoed loudly in her sister's head, who was sympathetic of the feeling. However, she was not known for being rude either. "Onee-chan! Be nice!" Risa replied sharply. It seemed to have been enough as Riku fell quiet up until Kangen pulled out his weapons and prepared himself for moving into the Seireitei. They both ducked inside his pocket as the lightning crashed, and watched through the opening in the pocket as the morning sky went from clear blue to midnight black and back again in an instant; it was like staring into a strobe light that only worked once. They rubbed their eyes, seeing spots. The only reason they had been able to keep up with him was because the space they were in was anchored to his pocket; it was essentially engulfed in another space the instant Kangen deconstructed himself, and was reattached the instant he was whole again.
[Near 7th Division]
Two heads poked out of his pocket once more and two sets of beady eyes surveyed the area. Completely discombobulated from the trip, they both scrambled over the edge of the pocket with great difficulty and tumbled down toward the ground at Kangen's feet. After a quick transformation mid-fall, they landed on their human feet, thoroughly dazed. Riku staggered forward cross-eyed, and dropped to her hands and knees to get her bearings; Risa grabbed hold of Kangen's pants to keep herself from falling over. "Stop the ride, I wanna get off..."
"I am never doing that again." moaned Riku. They shook off the sick-to-their-stomachs feeling and finally righted themselves, conversing as though Kangen didn't even exist. "What year is it?" Wiping her palms on her front, Riku squinted towards the sun as Risa shrugged her response. "Iunno. I dunno dates yet, do you? Risa inquired hopefully. Riku shrugged just the same, but put on a frown just after. "I'm in the same class as you, dummy."
Then why'd ya ask me first?" Risa hissed. For a moment, they looked on the verge of getting into another fight, but then two figures zoomed past nearby, catching their attention. Seconds later the earth at their feet suddenly shifted, throwing them off balance. They made a grab for each other for stability, and by the time it passed they seemed to have forgotten all about their squabble. Under the impression that they were the soon-to-be victims of some Hellish attack, the twins drew their weapons timidly and took turns cowering behind one another until a scan of the area turned up no results. Only Kangen was there, but he was no enemy. Realization hit them like a ton of bricks, it had to have been Senka. Relief washing over her, Risa shoved her wand back into her pocket. "Onee-sama." They said together, flatly, exhaling sighs.
Eyes wandering, it only took a second for Risa to spot Aceline and Akane. "Ah! It's the old lady Kitty told us about!" Pointing excitedly at Aceline, she tugged Riku's arm who whirled around to get a good look. A suspicious grin crept across her face, a look that was never good.
"Ooh! Let's turn her hair the color of barf!"
"Or make all of her clothes see-through!"
Then they seemed to have an epiphany, for both turned to the other and spoke together. "No, glue her hand to her face!" With that, they burst into a fit of giggles and began an excited dash in the direction of Akane and Aceline.
[Just for clarification, those two won't and don't fight.]

םoµεɴ ☪ ɪɴᴛεɱρoʀαʟ [South Road, just East of 10th Division Training Grounds]
The retaliation from Senka came quickly and incredibly hard. The child had an surmountable amount of strength in her small and deceiving frame that Vide had a gist of, but was clocked with the true reality of in her attack. Vide’s head plummeted into the ground with an immense force, however to help aid in the actual damage, he bellowed out a Mégaphone into the ground, loosening the particles of earth into incredibly small particles of dust, of which his body fell into. With this action, the dust shot out into the air, filling it with its fine and dense ‘fog’ and quite possibly into Senka’s eyes if she were so unlucky to have it happen at a close range. In the façade of staying still, Vide shifted softly, throwing more dust into the air, into a crouched position. Leaning into his right leg in the crater, he had his left leg fully extended, as if stretching his groin, with his left arm placed on the ground just between his legs.
Letting a small smirk befall his face in the chaos of the dust, Vide extended his right hand to the side causing a pulse of dark energy to emanate for a short second before the Vibrobscur broke from its contained form and volleyed for Senka’s body. The small grims poured out from Vide’s hand, swarming Senka’s being with terribly high, banshee shrieks and terrifying screams. The overwhelming presence of the ‘ghouls’ could be heard a few yards away from where they actually were and blotted out Senka’s body as they tempestuously soared around her. Vide made his move in this small instant, pushing up on his left hand that was placed upon the ground, using it as a focal point and spinning his body on it, throwing his legs out in a fit of power, causing the dust to part in a circular area and possibly hitting Senka if she was close enough at that point, before shooting into the air and regaining his balance mid-flight.
Moving his right hand outward, his index and middle fingers came together forming a small orb of concentrated energy at the tips. Vide neared the apex of his ascent at that point and flipped forward, throwing his foot into the air, executing a short timed Hâte, and slamming into the ground with his right hand out to his side and his left hand slapped upon the ground. A combination then occurred; A Grandes Transitoires de la Terre erupted from below Senka, aiming to grab her and keep her in place for a short period of time while Vide threw his right hand’s energy orb in multiple directions showering Senka’s general direction with a well timed Grande Rangée de Coupe de la Terre. The attack was well planned out, but he was still in the dark with Senka’s abilities and power and such, proceeding would be and could be difficult.
Standing from the crouched position he was in from the counter, Vide pulled at the base of his gloves, readjusting their tautness on his hands and cleared his throat. “It may be that you know of me, how I work, what I did, etcetera. However, what was written after can always be altered in simple ways. The chaotic nature of events is what makes the past more of a variable when one travels to it. It is why science fiction frowns of altering the past, no matter the circumstance. You may, however, be correct in your assumption or assertion that you ‘know everything about me’ but it shall all come to light in the end, shant it?” Vide shifted within his clothes and coughed slightly from the dust particles that managed to create a fuss within his throat, softly waving his hand in front of his face to clear the air of most of them as best he could. “You are incredibly formidable, child, but do not interchange formidableness with arrogance. Tis’ what a fool does.”

 ManamiTenkai When his Captain had gotten struck by the lightning, Tenkai froze in his tracks and grit his teeth. How could he be so stupid? Rushing in like that without thinking, it wasn't like him. Ready to go help his Captain escape the battlefield, he was nearly struck himself, narrowly missing by three inches. Though most of the strikes were surrounding Hibiki, he still had to dodge a few that were shooting his way. Most were easy enough to move out of the way of, but one caught him in his left leg as he was running, causing him to tumble and gasp out in pain. Immediately, his hands went to the tingling appendage and began to rub, glaring up to the unknown enemy. She was really beginning to irritate him now, and when the numbing sensation in his leg passed, he soon got back to his feet.
Once he stood however, he felt the ground lightly shake and spikes shoot up all around the area. Quickly, he left the area before the worst got to him, spikes erupting right next to his feet as he ran to a safer distance. He didn't want to leave his Captain there, but at the moment, he had no other option. This b***h is annoying the hell out of me. He had made it away from the spikes, only to see them get sucked back into the ground as quick as they came. It seemed pretty useless then to have gone all that way to get away, when they were gone just that quickly. Of course, he couldn't have known that it would be done so fast. He figured this would be the best time to go and get his Captain, when yet another attack was launched. Hibiki was saved by someone else he did not know, and the woman had vanished, likely going after the other woman. So many people that he had no knowledge of, it made him anxious.
Speeding off once more into Shunpo, Tenkai unsheathed his Zanpakutou with his right hand, holding it backward and out in front of him. "Basuto!" The blade of his sword began to crack and crumble before blowing away behind him, from his speed. The remaining hilt molding, and meshing around his hands, crawling up his forearms and creating silvery-white gauntlets that cover his hands and arms. Narrowing his eyes, he went faster now, coming upon the fighting between the two unknown women. The enemy seemed to have the upper hand, cutting the other in the wrist with her attack, though the 'friendly' woman countered with a powerful attack of her own. It was not, he decided he would attack, while she was occupied trying to block or dodge the other woman's strike. Running at full speed, drawing ever so closer, his arms outstretched, fingers apart and aimed toward the enemy. Now, ten feet from the two, he yelled out and grinned. "Kuki Misairu!" From each fingertip, small bullet-shaped compressions of air shot forward at a high speed, each bullet aiming for a different part of her body. Her legs, arms, torso, and head were all targeted. If it had connected, it would hopefully slow her down enough for the other woman to follow up.

✁《 HAKASE ELISIA 》▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ The pounding in her ears and the beating of her heart slowed to a constant rhythm as those final words had been forced out of her mouth. At the exact same time, she noticed the fact that they were not in private as she had originally thought in her daze but instead, surrounded by a mini-audience. Gritting her teeth together, she attempted to place a smile on her face, resulting in nothing but a grimace, which she soon wiped off her face in an effort not to scare her wife. Or rather, her to-be wife in this era. She debated over the idea of greeting Yuki or one of the others, but dismissed it as it would seem extremely rude to come out with such a thing that she had before and to get distracted with other things. She slipped back into her usual demeanor, her face not even betraying the twinge of pain that ripped through her heart at the look of confusion that Tsukiko gave to her. It was a silly feeling, since her wife didn’t obviously know her at this time, but it brought up too many of the nightmares and memories that had haunted her before. Momentarily sidetracked by the stiffness that was spreading in her knees, she forced herself to train her gaze to focus on Tsukiko, praying that all her efforts wouldn’t come to a hasty end.
As Tsukiko met her gaze, a jolt ran through her body and a sudden yearning to hug and kiss her wife, rippled through her, which was only stopped by the reminder of the youth of the girl. The poke was like a bucket of cold water as well, which soon stopped any ideas that she was having about throwing all caution to the wind. Steeling herself for the answer, it still stung a little, but this time, she managed a more realistic smile, the recent happy memories with the Tsukiko in her time and the fact that they were going to get together nevertheless dulling the pain drastically. Awkwardly rising to her feet, she nodded expressionless at the girl. As that setback was quickly overcome despite her initial misgivings, laughter threatened to burst through that impassive façade at the sight of the nurse hitting Tsukiko in place of Yuki, hurriedly concealing it with some coughing instead. Cracking into a grin and in a much better frame of mind now that the burden was off her shoulders, she bowed her head in politeness to Yuki, slipping into a stiff tone again as she replied, “Thank you, Sōtaichō, I’ll remember that. And thank you for your help in the future.” There were other things just on the very tip of her tongue – about her new children, about Senka growing up and becoming the new Captain commander and other events from the time she had just come from – but luckily enough, Yuki had began a conversation with Rei at that time as logical thinking hit her at the same time. Biting her tongue, she kept it all back, remembering that it wasn’t good to tell people in the past about their future. Not good at all.
Watching as Yuki passed on instructions to Rei before leaving herself to join the battle, Elisia stayed silent, her mind working overtime to figure out exactly what she was meant to do now. After all, she had completed the task that she needed to perform – warn Tsukiko ahead of her past self – and she couldn’t just jump home right now. There was still time before the battle was over and all of them were returned to the rightful place in time, so….what to do? Glancing at Rei once more, she asked, “Would you like me to help with anything? I’m not in any particular rush at the moment so…if there’s anything, just tell me.”

899   Ηakase Senka
博士雪
Ichibantai Taichō At the first sign of the sound-based Mégaphone, the air around Senka's body began to vibrate harshly. The potential damage to her eardrums was stifled by her waves; she was left listening to a loud ringing sound. Continuing to move the air, the waves dispersed the dust coming upward, and she said her piece to Vide before standing back up. Anticipating his retaliation was not difficult, few people took that without a fight; it came seconds later in the form of hooded-phantoms pouring from Vide's outstretched hand. The dark constructs melded into black abyss that swallowed and lifted her into the air, then projected their terrifying screams, trying to drive her mad. Her own frightened shouts echoed throughout the dust from the energy surrounding her.
However, she couldn't even hear them; Vide's Mégaphone — like most sound-based attacks — was able to inflict the ringing sound in her ears just before her own technique was able to snuff it out. The ringing annoyance drowned out the dying screams and Senka floated calmly in the darkness. She stared blankly at nothing, shouting realistic screams when she deemed appropriate, biding her time until she was released. The abyss cleared a bit later and she caught sight of Vide springing into action again. Senka had to repress the urge to laugh at this, and put on a strained look as she was kicked backwards a distance. In mid-flight, she twitched her middle finger, giving the sword in Chachamaru's hand a tug. The blade was yanked out of the saya by the thread attached to it, and it zoomed towards her.
Senka touched down one foot following the other, and was not surprised to be met with his next attack. She was still watching his movements and was matching them with the attacks she was already aware of, predicting what was coming next each time. The spikes of earth shot up suddenly and her eyes widened in fake-shock; being an emotionally-manipulative ten-year old, she was actually quite convincing. A large spike erupted out of the ground behind her, lancing her top and skewering her haori, but only sliding against the dense reiryoku surrounding her body. She had little time to flinch before she was quickly pinned to it when two more grazed her stomach and neck, tearing into her top in both places.
The make-shift cage, crude yet effective, held her in place to be cut up by his following attack; provided she ever let him get his way, that is. The sword — having come from over seventy feet away — finally arrived, landing in her left outstretched hand. It took little effort for her to parry the energy blade at insanely high-speeds, sending it elsewhere with a turn of her blade. Just before the spikes were sucked back into the ground, she laid her hand flat upon the one that lay across her stomach. She let out a little grunt; to anyone it would look like she was just trying to get free. What was actually going on was another matter entirely; she had pushed a harmless shockwave into the spike, letting it run semi-free throughout the ground. Looking defeated, she dropped her hands and let her head hang. Seconds later, the spikes were sucked back into and she relaxed on her feet.
Vide began to speak and Senka looked down, annoyed that her top was ruined. It was worse still that she realized she had nothing else to wear. Her annoyance was all but squashed as Vide droned on; he was causing her delight to fade away. Seeing as how he was just as boring as the 46, he was competing for the second spot on the "Stuff That Puts Me To Sleep" list; her daddy reading her a story was the top. Luckily she had other things to think about; her "harmless little wave" was already causing all sorts of hell below the ground as he continued to talk. Tapping each finger to her thumb, she counted up the seconds, gazing vaguely at the sky as Vide's words became the cries of birds and the sound of rushing water.
When all was said and done she lolled her head to the side, gently biting her tongue as she looked towards him cross-eyed. Senka pointed the tip of her sword at his feet and — as if by magic — the ground in a forty-foot radius beneath him suddenly gave way. The wave she had sent into the ground had been rapidly shifting bedrock for the better part of the last few minutes — creating a sinkhole — and now all that was left to support Vide's weight was not substantial. It collapsed, plummeting sixty feet to the bottom of the hole and a grin spread across Senka's face. She knew well he could float, so it wasn't like he was going to fall to his death. But what she also knew was that Intemporel couldn't gain traction on nothing, and was counting on that to cause his movements to falter. "Shindō." She said calmly. Holding the sword tighter now, Senka drew her arm across her chest, then snapped it back to it's original place, striking the air like it was solid with the edge of her fist. The sound of breaking glass filled the air as Senka struck, the air literally cracking, sending a powerful shockwave in Vide's direction. She directed the point of impact at Vide's location, but she was unable to help the fact that it would shake the area indiscriminately, dealing decent amounts of collateral damage.

Seth hadn't said a word since coming to the medical facility. He believed Elisia's reason for leaving him was simply due to his immense burden of an existence. He laid there in a rather unflattering bed. He could hear the cries of battle all over, even now he wasn't safe, somewhere near this very building a battle was warring, he wasn't sure what was going to happen, he didn't know if he was going to be safe, and yet, he didn't care about his own safety. Seth was supposed to stay where he was until it was safe, the room was dark, and full of jittery woes, Seth sat upright, his small silhouette cast along the floor by the light from the window directly behind him. Seth's face was blank, almost, twisted, he was consumed by a feeling of need, need to prove himself again. His legs turned towards the edge of the bed and soon touched down on the cold floor. Others in the room noticed him leaving, but were too terrified to speak, to make noise of any kind. Seth plucked his sword that was leaning against the wall by his bed, he tied it to his Obi and left the room. He headed in the direction that he knew a battle was wagging, but by this time, he was out in an area well lit, and, if he was noticed by one of the medical staff, or another person he had run into before, such as Elisia, he knew he wouldn't get far, and so, he needed to make sure that he wasn't detected, or his plans would be in vain. Seth slowly creped along the corridor, dashing here and there as nurses came into view. Seth was consistently holding his hand on the grip of his sword, he was on edge, though that would be putting his current state of mind mildly. Seth sped quickly through the corridors, it was gigantic building, and so, the fighting that was happening near it wasn't affecting his currently location, but as he continued near it, he could not only feel but see the devastation that was being brought on by this surprise war. Seth quickened his pace, hoping to be outside as soon as he could, however, at a certain point, he came into an area that had lost all power, and what more, part of the building had literally been obliterated, he was staring out into the vastness of Seireitei. And below, he could see figures battling, he knew that this must be the group that was currently engaging in a fight, he began to descend down, he was going to help end this battle, he was going to prove to himself that he was not what his mind wanted him to believe.

Aceline's hair flared and billowed in suit in the air as she moved with ease to dodge the fiery attack from Akane's pistol. Aceline's previous smile arose on her lips as Akane spoke down to her once more -- the way she displayed her superiority issue was highly detestable in a woman such as Akane, or so Aceline thought. Knowing you were superior than someone and just assuming you were, are two different attributes in her eyes. A small laugh finally escape her as sweat ringed down her face from the explosion of fire harmlessly before her out of reach. "And you assume I was traveling at my fastest." She smiled earnestly with closed eyes.
Just as Akane assumed the pistol at Aceline's face and right as she pulled the trigger for two seconds, Aceline had entered her Tachyon Phase and went into Tachyon Shift. Three whitish figures of her body would appear around Akane simultaneously. Two would be two feet away from her at an angle to her left and right out of harms reach of the bullets, and the other would appear right behind Akane about a five inches away. A forth appeared with them as well, but was six feet above Akane in the air. The Acelines to Akane's flanks were using Tachyon Burst to attack as were the others. The one toward her right performed a kick that would lash out a crescent shaped wave of energy that was charged by the very accelerated atoms in Aceline's body. The one on her left had assumed a stance that focused her arm in front of her to fire off a beam of energy. The Aceline behind Akane used her entire body to cause a spherical explosion that centered around herself. And the Aceline above Akane took a kiba-dachi stance (a stance much like a Sumo Wrestler would take) and she channeled the atoms in her legs as she moved them and channeled the energy up to both palmar regions of her body and punched both hands, from her coxal region, downward to cause two circulatory like attacks that intertwined and advanced at Akane from heaven above. The original Aceline, in Tachyon Phase, did not move from her spot, bullets may have flown because of what the simultaneous Acelines did, but this would not affect what the other Acelines did, which would be irrelevant whether she was hit or not by the reiatsu empowered bullets. The attacks the Acelines performed happened in conjunction with Akane's first trigger pull; this would make Akane unaware of each Aceline because the Tachyon Shift would not be sense and would be able to carry out their attacks on Akane, leaving her no window of opportunity to dodge or retaliate to the attacks due to their speed of performance and her occupancy of the two second window of firing.
As the attacks would collide with each other, and Akane as the focal point of the entire operation, a large wave of energy would erupt from the spot and reach out twenty feet, leeching onto Tenkai and swallowing him up in the attacks as well. And even Risa and Riku if they had gotten close enough two the origin. Aceline had performed Tachyon Warp to escape her own attack since she did not want to be caught up in it. Her grimaced face showed some hurt from the bullets she had been hit by, but it was nothing she could not handle while in the state.

Division Four Captain ℐourney ₦o ℳore Kougji only barely blocked Eden's attack, sustaining minimal damage as the abundance of power hit him like a wall of stone. He was forced back quite a ways. Breaking his defending stance, Kougji immediately assessed the new situation, Eden was closing in fast, Kougji didn't have nearly enough time to even blink before her blades were barrelling down upon him like a heavenly fire come to destroy him for his sins. "s**t!" Kougji barely screamed as the first of many steel edges "Tsuitou Yaiba!" Kougji echoed out quickly, and as he did, the X upon his back transformed into two blades, which he held firmly in his hands. Placing them in front of him, he blocked one attack after another, but the strength behind each strike made Kougji grimace more and more, before he appeared to look as if he was about to break. "Such power!" His thoughts ran wild at this point, trying to determine what action to take, he'd never felt such overwhelming power, it was as if she some sort of supreme being, how could any of the captians fight such immense force? As the last blade came around in a spiral from the ninth volley of strikes, Kougji had enough time to curve his sword in towards him and blast it out in which to deflect the on coming attack, at which point he did the same for the other and managed to then make some distance with a much needed shunpo. He appeared on a dividing wall, the only one still standing that surrounded the court yard they were in. He eyed Eden for a moment, trying to determine just what in the world he was going to do. A strong gust blew past him, an ominous silence fell upon him, if he didn't find a way soon, he was really going to lose, her powers, strength, speed and mostly her spiritual energy, which was constantly pouring from her, just that alone made him twitch with the heaviest of unease.
He brought his two blades up in front of him, thinking of a strategy in which to weaken her, or at least he thought. For the time being, he couldn't concern himself heavily on the other two, they were after all Lieutenants, but he needed to focus on draining that energy from her. "Dekarukomanii" This attack, while Eden may think it to be an attack on its own, was actually a distraction, he knew from last time it wouldn't work, as the air began to surrounded Eden, he saw his opportune moment, he lunged, with a power shunpo, he came right up beside her, he stuck his left blade into her side and his right blade into her stomach. "Tsuitou Yaiba!" He screamed again, initiating the other part of this abilities effect. Incredible amounts of reiatsu began pouring into Kougji's blades, it began to surround him, instantly healing his fatigue, restoring him to perfect health, though he had no serious injuries on him currently. He removed his blades quickly, and with near impossible to see strikes, lobbed off Eden's head, cut her mid section in two and sliced both arms away from her body. He distanced himself again. He wasn't sure, with the amount of spiritual energy he had drained, he didn't think it possible for her to use that regenerative ability again, but he wasn't ruling anything out. "Both of you! Attack her immediately!" Just to be safe, he wanted to make sure she was in an even worse state, by using his ability, he needed to take a moment to soak in the spiritual energy, so he didn't have a chance to attack. ●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•●•

Fuyu could tell that Tsukiko was preparing something almost instantly as objects on the battle field began to seemingly disappear. He was observant and something causing a change to the battle field, even if minimal wasn’t something to go unnoticed. As things continued Fuyu didn’t make a move until Lee's attack was launched. With a snap of his fingers Fuyu erected a Danku in front of him, with enough distance that even if an explosion caused the shield to crack he would be at a safe distance to remain unharmed. Though he was unsure of what exactly the girl had done he knew the shield, reinforced with what little power he had remaining would be enough to stop the two attacks. At the moment the attacks connected with the Danku, Fuyu jabbed himself in the neck with the vial, causing a surge of power to erupt around him as his power was instantly restored thanks to the older Tuskiko. The surge of power erupted around Fuyu, resembling a wolfs head with open jaws, containing enough power behind the eruption to push the small girl who was preparing to attack him, as well as deflect the orb that was launched towards him, along with the attack from Lee that had made it through the Danku due to Fuyu‘s diminished power. The eruption caused the orb to collide with the ground, where it exploded and threw debris in all directions, the blade from Lee was dispersed into a mist of water, which Fuyu quickly shot backwards away from, creating more distance between him and the girl who had previously been 20 feet away.
He chuckled as the ethereal wolf head died down, looking as if it was absorbed within the gauntlets on his hands. With a small flick of his wrist he snapped his right hand into a fist, as he did so his fingers cracked and with that sound a multitude of white blades were sent towards the girl who had sent the final attack towards him, behind the blades hundreds if not thousands of white petals trailed. As this attack was launched an orb of condensed kidō formed in front of him as he almost instantly withdrew his two daggers and threw them through the orb. The orb was a condensed Bakudō #98: Jibōrensa, which gave the daggers the properties of the Bakudō. As soon as the daggers neared Lee and Tsukiko the chains would erupt from them and attempt to bind the two and then pierce them through their hearts, regardless of where they were pierced however, if the daggers made contact the kidō would be fed into the wound and cause the chains to erupt out the other side of the wound and bind the body even further. However, before the daggers had enough time to travel more than a few feet away from Fuyu’s body he used Shunpo to follow behind the blades that were flying towards the girl with an extremely forceful kick that would be aimed for her abdomen. Hit or miss he would disappear from the spot, almost instantly appearing next to Lee on his left side.
As Fuyu appeared he was already in mid-punch with his fist aimed for the mans stomach, directly behind Lee’s back a barrier erupted that upon contact would force the man forward, so if attempting to back step the punch he would be thrown forward into it, causing more damage from the punch or otherwise if knocked back from the punch, cause him to be thrown forward and out of the way. At the same time he extended his left hand, and spoke rapidly and under his breath so as not to be understood, as fourty lightning bolts erupted from the ground below Tsukiko all aimed towards her but from varying directions, causing varying angles, they were also not aimed at one central spot making them harder to avoid. The lightning bolts would not vanish however, instead they would solidify and spread out forming into a spider web that would be electrified and wrap around Tsukiko if she was in range of any of the bolts, hit or not.
[[Any questions? Seki was formed behind Lee, Byakurai was used in conjunction with Mugen Ririsu, which was then looped into Tenma Ami.]

םoµεɴ ☪ ɪɴᴛεɱρoʀαʟ [South Road, just East of 10th Division Training Grounds]
Senka's obvious expression of dull enthusiasm gave Vide a detailed picture into her mind set. His talking was lulling her into a want for sleep, and thus what he probably said, and most expectedly, went thru one ear and out the other. Even from a distance, Vide's eyesight was quite keen, and his attention to detail was not hindered by distance and as Senka seemed to lull around, he noted her hand, which softly kept time with something. Whether it was due to a particular peculiarity she had or is she was indeed count for something, was beyond him, but he made a note of it to be sure that if the latter truly faced itself, he would be ready. Looking over the surroundings, nothing seemed to be out of place. However, when his eyes returned to Senka's frame he noticed that she was moving her blade to point to his feet. A growing sense of uneasiness bubbled from Vide's gut, moving through his entire body but not being outwardly expressed.
When the ground suddenly buckled beneath his feet, and the eyesore of a sinkhole made its presence known, Vide softly free fell down into the gaping maw within the earth. A blank expression glazed over his face, he straightened into a line and gained momentum, falling down diagonally into the 60 foot hole. It wasn't a long distance by any means, but it was large enough to do this much. as he descended, Vide moved about the rocks, breaking the larger ones with his fists, creating a fine dust that filled the sinkhole. As he neared the bottom of the hole, he slowed time over his body with Arc de Temps, as well as the dust, allowing him to set himself on the ground with ease and kept the dust suspended within the air. Keeping the minor but effective Arc de temps active, Vide slowly stepped about in the hole before coming to the middle.
Cracking his neck, Vide shook out his body before a grotesque, bone popping noise could be heard coming from his body. The sound waves would not make it out of the hole, but if one were to be near him, it would not be a pleasant sound at all. As his bones underwent a metamorphosis, they grew in size, shape, and even density. His silver hair became much fuller, growing out much longer than before. His muscle build became incredibly larger, almost 3 times over. His shoes soon fell off his feet as they became paws; his hands ripped free of their gloved confinement to become large clawed appendages. His skull stretched itself forward, forming his canine snout and his teeth sharpened to a point. The over all transformation gave him a 2 foot height increase, now being a gargantuan 8 foot 3.2 inches, as well a hefty physical boost. All of this happened within a matter of seconds and the elderly many that once stood in the middle of the sinkhole was replaced by a large were-form that was a light-silvery blue aside from a triangular patch upon its chest as well as its paws, which were a deep navy blue, with a 'mane' of silvery hair tied together with a black bow-tie.
One of Vide's soft ears perked up as he heard the shattering of glass, which should not be heard naturally, given his position. Pulling his large mass close to the ground, Vide's large claws gripped into ground and braced, ready to move at a moments notice. His ears were completely sensitive in this form, much like a wolf or canines would be; being able to pick up sounds at higher frequency with ease. Thus he heard the charging shock wave headed his way and as it came closer, the suspended dust began to scatter, the ground began to shake, his muscles began to tremble. Vide's glowing eyes shot one glance at the on coming wave of power and quickly shoved backwards, throwing a claw into the ground to turn his bulk around and dashed for the edge of the sinkhole. His speed was incredibly more fortified and his movements at normal dashing speeds were near impossible to see, being much like a specialized shunpo in appearance and speed. Once he reached the wall, Vide crouched into his hind legs and in one forceful bound, shot forth from the sink hole, releasing Arc de Temps, and leaving a streamline of dust as it pulled out of the cloud into the clean air. The shock waves epicenter broke into the sinkhole, but the outer waves moved over Vides body with minor damage that only included a soft knock back while he was within the air.
Shooting his head towards Senka, Vide landed on the ground with a great thud and a loud howl that would echo into every reach of the Seireitei. It was chilling to hear, even in the day time. Soon after the howl drug off into silence, Vide was gone from his spot across the sink hole and upon Senka's left side. He was running on all fours for greater mobility and speed and as he neared the child's body, around 5 feet, Vide would swing his right claw up towards the child. Coming from close to the ground, Vide aimed to hit her into the air with the force of it, his claw carving thru the ground as it moved for her body. As he did this, regardless of it hitting or not, Vide would then move into a slide along the ground, where he would unleash a Pistolet Loup up towards Senka's bottom. Not seconds after releasing the orb of energy, Vide would shoot from the ground and up into the air after Senka and swing his clawed arm towards her abdomen, using Forte-Paume to send out energy with it and following it with a quick Lame D'air by way of flicking his claws together. If all went well his attack would leave some sort of mark, but regardless, Vide moved about on the ground to gain distance from the child and stood in wait, still ever keen on his surroundings.
