((Yes, she would XD))
Sara shivered as long, crimson-clad arms wrapped around her, enfolding her into a protective embrace. Jes had arrived much faster than she had anticipated, and Xeion, in his stubborn, willful way, had ignored her warning. Her heart stuttered as Jes addressed him. The Primera's voice seemed calm, but there was an underlying threat to her words. Sara hoped Xeion would just take her advice and go, but, considering his kind persona, he would never want to leave her behind.
Sara turned beseeching eyes to Xeion, wishing he would leave as she had ordered. Away from this nightmare, he would be able to move on, to master Azuhi, to grow strong-- to never think of her again. If he saw what she knew Jes was going to do, it would wound him to the core. I need you to forget me, Xeion, she thought, wishing she could say it aloud. I never want you to look back and think of me. She was almost grateful when Jes warned him away.
"Jes?" Sara weakly caught a fold of the Primera's red kimono in her hand. Her grip was feeble, but her intent was true. Even if she knew her fate, she couldn't live with herself if she didn't at least try to change it. "Just one thing-- please, let me keep just one thing. Even if it's small. Please--"
But she fell silent almost immediately, realizing that she was begging. She didn't want Xeion's last real memory of her to be like that. Her tone changed, no longer pleading, but infused with peace and calm. "No... Let Xeion go free. Promise you won't hurt him. That's all I ask,"

Xeion just stood there and continued staring at the scene, his eyes never wavering from the sight of both Sara-san/Rhia-taicho and the new Arrancar who, from what he had heard from Rhia-taicho, was called by the name 'Jes'. "Jes-san...that's a pretty nice name," said Xeion, examining the new Arrancar in a discreet fashion, made easier by the fact that he always wore his blue shades to hide his cursed eyes. From his observation, Xeion saw that Jes-san, from the way she held Rhia-taicho, seemed to care for the shinigami in the same manner as Feiy-sama would, or did, anyway. From that, Xeion knew that this Arrancar didn't have it in her to leave behind her wounded friend to kill him, meaning that Xeion was safe...for now. Taking advantage of that opportunity, Xeion made one last request.
"I said that I will see this story through until the end and that's what I'm going to do," his voice resounded, holding a gentle yet stern tone when he said it. "I won't look for you nor will I neglect mastering Azuhi. I just need...closure. That's all I ask. This is why I want to stay -- for nobody else's sake but my own."
This selfish remark was quite forced since Xeion, in truth, just wanted to see if Sara-san/Rhia-taicho would be okay. Of course, when he said that remark, he hoped that both wouldn't be offended by his 'selfish' desire to make sure that Sara-san/Rhia-taicho would be okay. Although he trusted Jes-san to take care of the person whom Xeion respected in the same manner as he respected Feiy-sama, he just wanted to silence all traces of doubt inside of him. He wanted to see the truth with his own, cursed eyes so his spirit would be at peace, knowing that Sara-san/Rhia-taicho is safe in this new world in her new life.
"Besides, my eyes are already tainted with the vision of countless sins. One more horror couldn't hurt, could it?"

"Do as you will, shinigami," Jes's tone was cold and unfeeling, but her eyes were already back on Sara. They seemed a little softer, somehow. The trademark blood red was tempered and softened into a shade of rose madder. She brushed a hand across the shining skin of Sara's cheek.
"You know I won't do that," Jes said softly, tilting Sara's face to hers with gentle fingers. She knew what it was that Sara had stopped herself from asking. "When I'm finished, she'll be gone, and nothing will remain. Not the color of her hair, nor the shade of her eyes. But you already knew that, didn't you, Sara?"
She lowered her face to Sara's, resting her forehead against the hers. "You won't even remember her name,"
And with that, she kissed Sara deeply, slipping a tongue between the girl's lips as shadows boiled their way up her throat and into Sara's mouth. Immediately, Jes was in Sara's mind, weeding out each memory that pertained to Feiy. There was a glimpse of her face, the feel of her skin, the taste of her mouth, her voice, her touch, her kiss, her scent, her body moving beneath Rhia's, their love, their brief moments of passion, and finally the swish of her sleeve as she left the room and Sara's memory.
The shadows that marked Jes's powers were crawling from every dark crack and niche, growing into a dense mass and billowing around her. They crawled over Sara's form, sinking into the cuts in her skin and dulling the glow until her skin returned to its original tanned shade. Still, Jes poured her Shadows into Sara, repairing all the damage that had been done while she had abused her powers. Though healing would take time, the sheer amount of energy Jes was instilling in her would ensure her survival.
And when it was finished, Sara's mind was quiet and clear. Both Rhia and her lover were gone, entirely consumed by Jes's power. The Primera could sense no trace of their presence in Sara's mind. She could feel Sara's body relax, suddenly free of care and worry and pain. Jes's own mind was at peace, too. Sara was safe and in her arms. And she was hers alone. There was no Rhia to conflict with her emotions, no Feiy to break her heart. My dear little hawk is finally mine.
Yet, perhaps it was the echo of Rhia's memories influencing her own feelings, but Jes couldn't ignore a lingering sadness. It hurt to see her sister, her indestructible protector, so terribly frail. But then she's not my sister, at all, Jes reasoned, tamping down on the feelings evoked by the soul of Rhia's sister inside her. She broke the kiss for a moment, knowing this sudden influx of power would render Sara quite shadow-drunk and not entirely in control of her faculties or emotions.
She looked up at Xeion, red eyes darkened by feeding on Sara's memories. "You want to leave, now," She told him, gently keeping Sara's gaze from him. Her shadows billowed over her shoulders, surrounding her in a dark, threatening cloud. Although she was not in the mood to attack Xeion, she could feel his sadness and it was tempting to feed again. Still, she refrained. She even tamped down on her shadow's ability to elicit fear and painful memories in those around them. She could honor Sara's request to an extent.
[Since Sara's sort of out of it, now, I think you could post to this, Xeion ^^]

((Thank you for your help, Jes-san. Let's RP again sometime. 3nodding )) "And the rest is silence," murmured Xeion in a hushed tone then fixed his glasses. True, what Xeion had just witnessed was disturbing to quite an extent, but it was nothing new for Xeion. For him, it was just like any other vision his cursed eyes brought to him every once in a while -- his curse and the cursed Angra Mainyu inside of him as an ever-present reminder of him being a Revenant and the cursed heritage that entailed it. The never-ending nightmares, the darkness that creeps within the inner recesses of your soul, the unbelievable pain and suffering you have to relive every once in a while being a living vessel of all of the world's sins. It was perfectly natural. "Please take care of Sara-san, Jes-san. I shall be taking my leave now," Xeion said, bowing with respect; and with that bow, he turned around and left, continuing his journey back from whence he came. His footsteps echoed throughout the staircase because he didn't have to run now and had the chance to take his time with his ascent. Although he promised not to think about it anymore, Xeion couldn't help but cry at this point as tears ran down his cheeks. Rhia-taicho and Sara-san were now gone from his life, just as Rhia-taicho had requested him to think. To him, they were just memories, phantoms of times long past, never to be seen again. It was a sad thought, but at the very least, Xeion found comfort in the fact that both Rhia-taicho and Feiy-sama both followed each other's footsteps even until the end. "They truly are inconsiderate," muttered Xeion in jest, continuing the silent ascent to the roof. [BGM: Chain (Magnificentral Mix)) While he did so, Xeion felt Azuhi shaking. He was too sad to notice that the zanpakuto spirits inside of him had finished talking and had now settled on an agreement with each other, as Xeion was about to find out when he drew Azuhi out from her scabbard only to see the blade shining like a miniature star -- so bright that Xeion found it hard to catch even a glimpse of her frame right now since she was cloaked in a brilliant light. "What the--!?" Xeion exclaimed in surprise, but before he could utter out another word from his lips, Elena interjected. " Azu-chan and I have already agreed on something, Xeion-kun. She agreed to stay with us, but decided to change herself to suit your reiatsu. Be grateful that a girl is doing so much for your sake!" "Eh!? You mean Azu--!?" Once again, Xeion was interrupted when the light totally eclipsed everything. When the light disappeared though, Xeion was left wide-eyed as he gazed upon the new sword in his hands -- it was a totally different one from the zanpakuto. Instead of the black hilt, hers was now pure white, like an angel's untainted wings. Her once guard-less neck now had an ornate guard above her hilt's collar. The blade-steel was pure, perfect, and clean; soldered together perfectly as if the sword was made with pure love with every stroke of the hammer. The blade edge was perfectly symmetrical -- no hints of imperfection nor flawed angling -- and straight, topping it off with the beautifully-curved blade and point. Flawless -- that was the sword was, just like pure love was flawless. " Azumi...that's my name now. Azuhi...is gone since Feiy is gone. I am...happy to be your sword now...Xeion...-sama." Xeion's shock slowly turned into joy when what used to Feiy-sama's zanpakuto spoke to him, though she was still quite nervous, as her tone of voice showed. "Azumi...that's a nice name. Don't worry, like your namesake, we'll give you a safe residence where you can grow. I mean, a sword forged out of the love deserves nothing less, right?" Xeion replied, smiling, while Azumi remained silent though she was happy that Xeion said those words, but was just too embarrassed to say it out loud. " Yes...Xeion-sama..." With his new sword, Azumi, Xeion felt happy once again as he sheathed her back into her scabbard. Not only was he left with a wonderful memento, but with Rhia-taicho's help, they recreated the once tainted zanpakuto into something new -- something pure. Maybe it was Rhia-taicho's blood? Maybe it was her love? Or maybe it was something else -- nobody knows for sure. However, what was certain now is that Azuhi had been reborn as Azumi, a sword that was created to achieve great things. "Thank you, Feiy-sama; Rhia-taicho. Thank you for everything." [exits]

[Enters from Labyrinth]
The knights quickly spread themselves out, securing an air-tight defense perimeter around the courtyard. Anything they saw, most of which were Arrancars, were quickly knocked out and hidden from sight in order to maintain the secrecy of their mission. Then, just as they were finishing up with the last of the Arrancar passersby, a female knight with fiery, crimson hair emerged last from the entrance to the labyrinth and stood herself in the middle of it all. Soon, she started chanting indecipherable words that could only be described as a series of murmurs and mumbles as a dimensional rift opened up above her. Knowing that they had no time to lose, the female knight had to work fast because if not, something might happen again similar to that entire fiasco on earth. She did not want that and CATHEDRAL made it clear to her not to allow it to happen again if she can.
True to her orders, the summoning finished in record time as three hundred-foot crystal obelisks descended from the sky and crashed down onto the courtyard, but mysteriously did not make any sound as their hard crystalline bodies smashed onto the ground. Following right after their arrival, dimensional barriers formed around the three obelisks and hid them away from sight and keeping their existence a secret from those who did not know of their presence yet or what they have done on this day.
As quickly as they arrived, the people in white disappeared with a quick chant from the female knight in the middle. It was as if they were ghosts, appearing and vanishing like the wind having finished doing their task. Now, all that was left is one final place before everything would begin.

Kasen ran from where his cell was and was running in a large hallway before he halted his movements and suddenly something came to him. "I have no idea where the heck I'm going..." He said out loud as he tried figuring out where he was exactly heading. Closing his eyes he sensed at least five spiritual pressures being released, Ash and her unknown companion were someone where could not find any presence, meaning somewhere he could barely feel. Evil and Zaine were in the labyrinth meaning he would have to find a way out. Tenshu was out of his comprehension meaning he couldn't help the one who needed the most help, so he decided to run through the hallway until he found a way out of it.

"Where do you think you're going?" Nera asked as she had sonido into the hallway a moment before. She turned her head slightly as she looked at him and asked him ,"Who do you think you're going to help? Its obvious that puppling is gone, the others lost in the labyrinth." Nera said as snapped off her bracelet and placed it upon her zanpakuto to show she was ready for battle. "This time you shall become mine and never feel life again!" Nera said as she pointed her left fist at him compressed her reiatsu at her fist. "Bala." Within a quick shot, the bala speeded out of her fist towards Kasen to strike him down quickly.

"What the......" Yamoto awoke form his sleep to find that he wasn't in the same place that he had been during the battle. It was weird they had been on the verge of defeating the enemy when the entire battalion colasped after the knight had relased it weapon. "There version of shikai I am guessing, but that only explains how we were all knocked out. It doesn't help me figure out where we are." Then at once the area surronding him hit him like a two ton truck. This was the last place he had expected to find himself in unwillingly. It was the courtyard of Las Noches, the center of the entire arrancar complex. "How the hell did we end up here?" Yamoto had no time to answer because at that moment he saw what a single arrancar firing a bala at what seemed to be a shinigami. Without hesitation Yamoto appeared infront of the lone shinigami, and shot his right hand out towards the speeding bullet. His right hand began to glow with a black reiatsu and a soon as the bala made contact with the hand both the bala and the reiatsu surronding Yamoto's appendage disappeared.
"I have no idea what is going on right now, but that doesn't matter because from the looks of it arrancar, you are trying to kill this shinigami and as a captain of the gotei 13 and a shinigami myself I can't let you have the pleasure." Yamoto glanced at the boy behind him. "What is your name and what squad are you in?"

Kusari Korosu
Squad Seven Fourth Seat and Drunkard  ((I got art, so new pic!)) Kusari awoke to the fifth squad taichos voice. <********, my head." he held his hand up to a spot covered in sand and dried blood. Looking around he analyzed the scene before saying, "I knew it. It was a giant teleporter just like I told that substitute." He made no mention of how he had dismissed that theory though. Noticing the running shinigami and what he could only assume were arrancar following it, which was confirmed by Yamoto, he added, "And with good karma, comes bad Karma. ******** my life, I just want this day to end." He laughed as he thought about how long he might have been out for.

A dull throb at the base of her skull brought Micah back to consciousness. Groggily she looked around until she caught sight of the Shinigami and Arrancar. "Whst the...Where the hell did you idiots take me! And why the hell'd you do it!" She flipped up to her feet and held her fist's up, ready to hit, kick and spit should one of the men or the woman move towards her. Perhaps we should run, Micah. All of these Shinigami and the Arrancar are incredibly more powerfull than us. Be smart for once. Ignoring her doll's voice, the young Bount began to back away. She held it in, but she was scared out of her mind. She should have stayed home, and now Ky was going to kill her if she got out of here.

"O-OWWY! I hit my head after I fell asleep from that explosion. Dangit, I thought my punch would finish it off! Too bad.. I'ma go get some ic-" Herieo's words stopped suddenly, as he looked to the right of him towards his limp human body. It was beginning to stir, Pokken's mumbles heard from his own mouth. "Pokken..? What happened..?" Confused at his new surrounding, Herieo began to walk towards his body. He helped Pokken stand, now face to face with himself. "Herieo.. That thing.. That thing you guys were fighting had a weird weapon. Throughout the entire fight, it emitted odd frequencies. A high pitched eruption of said frequencies caused us all to go unconscious.. Dammit, I should have warned you guys once it's timer started bothering me.. It's my fault." The mod soul apologetically tapped it's stuffed animal form against the mouth of Herieo's body, Herieo himself hoping into it to catch it from falling. The miniature Pokken toy hopped onto his arms, shrugging it's own shoulders once, then proceeded to dive into the boy's hood. Herieo smiled and nodded his head to the doll, turning his attention to asses the situation at hand. It seemed the other Shinigami were here.. Some still unconscious, and some just awakening like himself. He didn't pay attention to there actions much though. He found himself wandering down the central hallway, he'd jut seen an unfamiliar Shinigami run through..

The eyes drifted from the darkness, opening to quite an unexpected scenery. The city of the earth dwellers no longer was present but in its place was now the interior of what must be a mighty fortress. He glanced around noticing the slightest stirs in others. He himself had yet to move beyond perching himself upon one knee as he sought to understand what had occured. In an instant he knew that the armor that they had been teleported to the lair of the enemy. Well, this will certainly save the trouble of finding out who's being these activities
He looked onwards noticing a shinigami, searching for his route. Yamoto, who had also been transported along with all present in the city, was now in motion headed towards the shinigami. He did not know why he moved so fast towards him until he felt the reaitsu presence that was quite disturbed in nature. He had felt this kind of reaitsu disturbance once before when he fought the arrancar, Zane. It would seem as if we are not only in the presence of other arrancars but within their domain. It must be Las Noches. he deducted.
With this knowledge it was clear they were in quite a disadvantage. Their numbers lacked and clearly the arrancars had the element of surprise. He left Yamoto to handle the situation with the other shinigami, while he proceeded to group together the others. It was ever important now than ever that they work in unison, to navigate through the challenge that lay in front of them. As the stirring continued he stood up with his sword unsheated.
"Fellow comrades, gather yourselves as you will require all your strength and fortitude in this time. We now find ourselves within the enemies grounds, Las Noches. They have clearly brought us here with unfriendly intentions so we must all be prepared to fight. In this time we all need to work as one. The individual beside you may not be in your squad or may even be a stranger but it is neccesary that we treat them as if they are your squadmate. We will require the full cooperation of all to demonstrate our full strength and defeat those who have done such a deed."
It was rather untypical for him to perform such a speech, in such times though it was needed. Many would be confused and possibly rattled and they needed to be sent a clear message of what may lay before them. Act together or fall one by one. It seemed one individual had not gotten the message as the childlike figure who had attacked the armor in a sporadic frenzy was already running off to unknown danger. Sigh...well he is only a child he said to himself as he placed a hand upon his forehead.
As he thought more on the situation it occured to him that despite them being in the arrancars facilities, it may not be their act alone. Hell, it may not even be them who performed the act at all. For one if they were to transport them unconscious would they not be bounded right now without weapons? The enemy would not take chances to allow destruction within their domain with powerful shinigami present. They had all the advantage when the party was unconscious so why take any risk? Secondly, he sensed arrancar presence but none specificially here at the moment other than the one chasing a shinigami who had not been part of the party. It would seem rather irrational to have no guard in place, allowing the shinigami free passage. He could not confirm his suspisions but it was rather probable a third party was behind this that had nothing to do with the arrancars. To what purpose this third party had, he did not have the slightest of ideas.

Taking her rhinestone bracelet from her right wrist and chucking it at the Shinigami who had just made an out of place speech, Micah screamed at him like he was an idiot. "I just want to go home you Jerk! Why are you trying to drag me into your stupid fight? I- I just want to go home!" As her voice cracked, the young Bount sat down and pulled her knees to her chest, trying not to cry. Now her fear and despair were plain as day now, sobs shook her thin shoulders as her Doll's voice tried to comfort her. Zarri's voice went from inside her head to audible as he took physical form unbidden. Micah, don't cry. We'll get out of here. Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you." The large, white horned serpent coiled protectively around the teen girl and glared in the direction of the fueding Shinigami and Arrancar.

Soujirou appeared in the courtyard, still unconscious. He actually had fallen asleep even before everyone was knocked out. Before anything had happened, actually. He just sat on the ground and had watched the other people do...stuff. He didn't actually want to help out, as he didn't know what was really going on. He drifted off into slumber after a while, for he was just sitting there.
And now there he was, passed out on the ground. And on top of him? Torakun, his stuffed animal. Torakun was perfectly fine, considering that he was a stuffed animal. He would sit on top of Soujirou, acting as his "protection". And also acting as an indicator for anyone that was trying to find him. Well, anyone that knew that Soujirou had a tiger stuffed animal, anyways.
