xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx【 SUZUME CHIYOKO 】 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLoneliness hit me suddenly,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbut it’s only t h e n that I realized,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxafter all that I have ever DREAMED of,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI really don’t like F I G H T I N G ✿✿✿ Suzume smiled, hearing her sister’s message. It seemed as if Elisia had agreed. With that in mind, she lazily watched as Kazuma finally released, before getting rid of her crystal dragon. Ah, it seemed as if he could fend off her attacks with that shining ball. However, was it restricted to simply crystal? Nah, that would be a very weak defence, and she doubted that he would have managed to get his current rank as Binah Sephira like that. Perhaps it was limited to physical means? Even if this was so, it was still a troublesome problem to have to deal with. After all, she dealt with physical abilities, nothing else, unless of course, she utilized Kido spells. It might be best to use those for the meantime. Deciding what to do, she was about to strike, when she realized that he was no longer where she had thought he would be. “Oh s**t,” she swore under her breath. He would most likely go for a simple assault, to either her or Tadashi. Catching sight of him behind her, she crystallized the moisture behind her, hurriedly making a shield. It was done enough to prevent half the attack, but the first half cut through her back, making a diagonal deep cut.
In order to maintain a safe distance, she darted away, turning around so that she could see her attacker again, face-to-face. “Guess I was smart not to underestimate you because you looked young.” she snarled, the pain muddling her senses, “And don’t lie about my sister’s wedding. You most likely came because of that, since all the powerful people were in one place.” Fury rippled through her as she lifted a deliberate finger and pointed it at him. “Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hadō #63: Raikōhō!” she called out, directing the high-level Kido towards Kazuma. Hoping that would distract him for a short while, she lightly touched the wound on her back, flinching in pain as she touched raw skin. Damn. She didn’t want to divert her sister’s attention from anything else, she crystallized her entire back, to prevent herself from dying of blood loss. It didn’t help with the pain, but at the very least, it would be alright for now. About to check how Kazuma was, she froze on the spot, Hei’s voice echoing through the link. From what she had remembered, he had been fighting Zenos, who had seemed to be the leader, or no less than being high up. Had he won? Remembering Zenos’s power the last time they had fought, she shuddered. Then again, Hei, with his powers and abilities, was the only one who could take him on.

⋆⋆⋆∥ ＨＡＫＡＳＥ xＥＬＩＳＩＡ
☇【 ｙｏｎｂａｎｔａｉxＴＡＩＣＨＯ 】 Elisia stopped in the middle of her step, listening to Ciel. Ah, it seemed as if one of the Lieutenants had managed to open up a complete telepathic link so that they would be able to communicate. Good job. Shaking off her other thoughts, she continued on her way, but not before throwing one last anguished look at the battlefield and of course, one of her closest friends, Nu. She was currently torn between helping the injured and Nu herself or going back, fighting Kyo and relieving her sister of the duty. A sudden telepathic message from her sister, telling her to go and stay there, stopped her in her tracks. Deciding that protesting would get her nowhere, she merely told her sister, Alright, but you must look after yourself. Good luck, Zume. Bowing her head to the inevitable, she knew that her sister was growing up and she could no longer keep an eye on her, protecting her from the world. Another reason why her sister had stayed back to engage an enemy, was to prove her worth, as Elisia knew very well, as Suzume’s last major battle had been a little traumatic. All she could do now would be hope and pray that everything would go smoothly.
She whirled around to turn back to Nu and Lee, darting through the battlefield as quickly as she could. Stopping abruptly, she noticed that the Path had obviously aimed for Nu, perhaps to distract Lee. Luckily, Nu had managed to fend off that attack and counter-attacked herself, but how much longer could Nu last? While she didn’t doubt Nu’s abilities, it was difficult to fight with one arm. Swiftly moving, she found herself having to pull back at the last second and keep her distance away from them, as she caught sight of Zenos spinning through the air. Holy crap. Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked for the source of this defeat, pinpointing it to her father-in-law, Hei. Sheesh. He had managed to take out one of the main powers and the one that would have impeded them most. Only half-listening to his telepathic message as she had the proof right in front of him, she shook herself out of her musings. In several swift strides, she crossed the distance between her and Lee. Inclining her head in acknowledgement at Lee, she told him and Nu at the same time through the telepathic link, I’m here to help and assist with anything, although I may have to dart in and out, if there are any injured. However, aside from that, I have nothing else to do, what was my battle has been taken care of by other Shinigami. ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬

 Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi cursed mentally as Suzume was struck. He couldn't attack from long range for fear of hurting her, but Kazuma had already managed to do that. When he was now close enough that a short shunpo would put him into attack range, Tadashi saw Suzume was casting a Raikōhō at the Sephira. He quickly stepped over to her side and added his own shots to the mix with his crossbow.
"Is it bad?" he asked, a bit concerned. If Suzume was hurt too much, it meant she would overexert herself - thus, giving the enemy the chance to get the better of her. Tadashi took note of the odd crystal formation on her back, remembering he wasn't familiar with her powers. Then again, only Hibiki and Eriko really knew about his own abilities - and even then, no one had seen his Bankai. He had filed the report that he was indeed one of the few Shinigami who had attained the final level of their zanpakuto's strength, but that was only on paper. Besides, all anyone needed to know was that he had a Bankai.
Looking towards Kazuma, he continued to fire a volley of spiritual bolts, adding a Shakkaho inside to punctuate the combination.

Kazuma The light is gone,
but I'll make my own.. 
Kaz found her back to be far more sturdy then most, but soon discovered why, he had cut through a last minute barrier to soften the enevitable hit, a smart move on her part. He took notice in the fact that she wasn't much of a close quarter combatant, something he might make use of in the near future. "It is fine, I get that remark more then you could imagine..." He didn't bother trying to defend himself, why bother when he was already labed as the "enemy"? Instead, he made a choice of slicing down their projectiles, finding Suzume's kido surpassing Tadashi's but, most likely due to their respective divisions. While his hands were occupied, Kazuma saw with the corner of his eye, Suzume tending to herself to the best of her ability, her sister was a nurse so this was normal. Turning to the pair he raises his sword, looking to the two. "I commend your bravery and in turn fight with my hardest....." The second he was done talking, a cero roared out of his mouth, adding suprise with pain. Since the two were grouped together, he thought it best to attempt to take them out all in one go. Kazuma had spent long years perfecting his most basic abilities, requiring no visible movement to indicate his cero like most other Arracars, perhaps this was the reason he did not master his second stage release yet.
As soon as the ball of dark red energy left his mouth, he quickly used a Gemelos Sonído to appear behind them, and after image to keep their eyes on what appeared to be Kazuma. He was well above the cero's size range, but enough to see where they would go if they chose to escape, their smartest plan. Twirling his sword again with increasing speed, fire soon building itself, though he did not release it, it was for the chance that they moved, as both were using long range styles, which made this fight all the more annoying for him.
[Not my best work, need to break this cycle~]

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx【 SUZUME CHIYOKO 】 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLoneliness hit me suddenly,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbut it’s only t h e n that I realized,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxafter all that I have ever DREAMED of,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI really don’t like F I G H T I N G ✿✿✿ As Kazuma said that it was fine, Suzume’s face softened a little, against her common sense. Why wasn’t he defending himself? To tell the truth, the people that irked her the most, were the ones that argued and continued despite the fact that she was already quite mad. To be faced with somebody who simply backed down like that, utterly took away all the anger that she had. Instead, a tired look appeared on her face as she ran her fingers through her hair, looking remarkably older than she was. This entire day hadn’t been progressing as well as she had hoped, especially this invasion and Tsukiko’s refusal to take the money. The latter she could understand very well and it was not in her business to interfere, but the first was merely another obstacle. Then again, it was not time to dwell on these things, as right now, she was fighting an enemy. Smiling at Tadashi to ward off any concerns, she concealed all signs of her pain from her expression, assuring him, “Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine. It’ll be fine.” Right then, she noticed the cero which Kazuma had sent their direction. This wasn’t good. She highly doubted that any of barriers she could conjure up at the moment could help at all, so there was really only one option left, which was something that she preferred not to do. “We’ll just have to dodge this one,” she muttered to Tadashi as well as consoling herself.
Throwing herself outwards, away from Tadashi, she hurriedly shunpo’ed out of the way, knowing that Cero could mean the end of her rather quickly. She landed on her two feet, crouched like a tiger as she waited for the attack to pass. Her peripheral vision had one Kazuma, standing at where her back had been faced to a second ago, and another one where he had been just before. The second must be an after-image, since the first Kazuma had already been building fire on his sword, meaning to attack, perhaps. Matching fire with fire might be the best deal at the moment, since she didn’t have much of a choice. She didn’t know what happened to Tadashi, but if he was injured, she’d need to distract Kazuma and then alert her sister through the link. Barely thinking it through properly, she crystallized the moisture around her, the crystal forming around her vital organs to protect herself in case he decided to attack. With a determined look on her face, she darted towards him. At the moment, she was riding on the hope that he would be surprised by such a direct attack. Forming a crystal lance, she hurtled towards him, the lance aiming towards his heart. As soon as she was close enough to be able to penetrate his heart, she continued it, not caring whether or not it worked. Instead, she lifted her free hand, calling out, “Hadō #88: Hiryūgeki Zoku Shinten Raihō.”

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi was naturally gifted in moving and reacting quickly. He'd been an agile Shinigami in the academy, and he'd become an expert in shunpo in a fairly short time. Now, in his Bankai, this natural agility of his was bolstered to the point where he could easily match the Sephira. The trade-off, of course, being that it didn't take much to harm him if an attack should hit. In this situation of a straightforward Cero, Tadashi was able to altogether dodge the projectile with a shunpo after an initial split-second of confusion (due to the fact that he had little clue on how the Cero had been sent out so quickly). He chose to go directly left of the Cero's blast. While he moved, his mind was already analyzing the situation. The Cero was cast with the obvious knowledge that at least one of the two Shinigami would dodge, if not both. Therefore, the Sephira may have intended to use the attack as a distraction. Making sure to note that he should be especially vigilant, he sent a message to Suzume, feeling a bit guilty for leaving the injured girl to deal with the Cero herself thanks to his automatic reaction.
'Did it hit you?' Tadashi asked, not wanting to make it sound like he was worried. He then visually confirmed Suzume's survival and the subsequent chucking of the ice spear while Kazuma was maintaining a position farther above. Electing to not join Suzume's side this time, Tadashi began to flash-step right towards Kazuma. Whatever the Sephira's reaction to the spear thrown at him, Tadashi readied his Shadōburēdo Kakuchō ability and prepared to shunpo with the intent of close-range combat with the Sephira directly to where Kazuma was or would step aside to (as to avoid the spear). The Shadow Blade Extension power would add on the length of a katana blade to each of his claw's edges. The extension itself was perfectly weightless, and on top of that simply resembling shadow (though it functioned as a blade well enough). He planned to get just outside of his own regular striking range in front of Kazuma and then trigger the blade extension, thus being able to reach the Sephira and hopefully slice into him.

Kazuma The light is gone,
but I'll make my own..
With the sudden charge from Suzume, he sighed as he pointed the flames in her direction. "Las llamas del Purgatorio...." The flames, while contained, grew hottter and hotter with the wait, and cuased a sea of flames to shoot forward, Kazuma waving his sword from wide to side to cause a "Wave" action, in the event Tadashi felt like attacking him as well. Her crystal proved to be formiddable, as it withstood the fire for now, but Suzume herself was not made of crystal and would eventually have to back off from the heat, now 4000°F and climbing. The crystal would soon enough melt like all things to nothingness, so he instead looked for the other boy, which came at a cost upon closer examiniation on Suzume. In conjuction, she casted a high level Kido at the man while attacking, an combination befitting her rank. As the lightning charged at him, he quickly rose higher, out of the powerful lightning's rangem as he continued his lethal sea of fire now raining on the two of them, a false move could spell disaster. Tadashi seemed especially intent on rushing him so he concentrated his attacks on him, his weapon more suited for close range, perfect for Kazuma at this point. It they were paying attention, Kazuma was slowly getting higher and higher in the air, simply tilting his spinning sword on the correct angle to continue his attack. Once he was suitably out of its destructive range, ten feet away from the pair, he used his free hand to point at the ground beneath them. If they looked, which they shouldn't as it was after all raining fire, all exposed light was quickly turned to darkness as a massive attack was charging. "I have no need to play with you all, and I hope you will find peace in the next life." After enough charging Kazuma halts the flames, his spinning dying down his hands were now cupping the black ball forming in his hands. "Goodbye Shinigami..." Extending his arms and opening his palms, a giant black cero quickly sped down upon the two shinigami. It was usually served as the finishing move for Kazuma, as he did not like long dragged out fights. They only had a very short amount of time before their destruction, Kazuma already rising up further in case of major collateral damage.

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi handily avoided each of the falling embers without much problem, but found it difficult to near Kazuma. He hoped Suzume's injury wouldn't leave her vulnerable to be struck by one of these. While he was calculating his shunpo movements methodically and rapidly (with the intent of reaching and killing Kazuma), Tadashi looked down quickly towards Suzume. He not only saw the flames bombarding her crystal, but noticed something odd about the air around them. It was turning into a kind of darkness that resembled Tadashi's inner world. 'Something odd is happening,' he reported unhelpfully to Suzume. Tadashi had the impulse to go down and help her, but the only way to really end this was taking out Kazuma. Besides, she could handle herself for the time being.
Suddenly, there was a black orb of energy in Kazuma's hands and the Sephira spoke, wishing them a happy afterlife. Now, Tadashi was absolutely certain that all he needed to do to survive was flash-step far to the left or right and avoid whatever was coming next. However, Suzume was pinned down below and that crystal would certainly not defend against the ominous sphere that Kazuma was even now making the motion to use. 'Suzume, move!' he yelled over the mental link urgently. Tadashi began to flash-step in her general direction, but then halfway the enormous black Cero had been cast and was about to impact. There was absolutely nothing more he could do but to shunpo out of the way, this time taking advantage of the removed limiter on his Bankai and going even faster. He felt a pang of exhaustion upon reaching a safe zone far to the right of the blast zone and took it as both battle stress and the toll for daytime usage. He took a few seconds to compose himself and look towards Kazuma, hoping Suzume had been able to move in time.
Tadashi formed his Sniper Eye and took aim with the crossbow, firing several shots. He mixed in a Byakurai and a Shakkaho with the regular blue bolts of spiritual energy. As per usual, the Kido speed and power were both enhanced as they were fired from the crossbow. After he'd fired a few grace shots, he bounded upwards again, claw in hand. There was an opening now that he simply couldn't lpass up, not even to check on Suzume apart from a mental question along the lines of 'Are you okay?'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx【 SUZUME CHIYOKO 】 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLoneliness hit me suddenly,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbut it’s only t h e n that I realized,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxafter all that I have ever DREAMED of,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI really don’t like F I G H T I N G ✿✿✿ Suzume found herself having to backtrack a little, due to the heat that was emitting from Kazuma. Her crystal ‘armour’ was melting and she doubted that she would be able to stay near for much longer. Gritting her teeth as soon as she noticed the fact that her lightning had not affected him, she darted, effectively dodging the flames as well as she could. Suddenly, it struck her that he was moving higher and higher in the air. Coupled with Tadashi’s reports, she sent him one too, He’s doing something…I think…I’m not sure what either. She scanned the darkness that Tadashi had mentioned, utterly confused for the moment. As she hurriedly went through the possibilities, she continued to dodge, stopping abruptly when she realized that the flames had been stopped. Looking upwards at Kazuma, she found herself realizing what he was meaning to do. That was definitely not good at all. Her eyes wide with fear and shock, she did the first thing that came to mind – protect oneself. Upwards would merely fasten her destruction, while she wouldn’t be able to move far enough in time at either side. Forming a crystalline shield to protect herself, she mouthed twice, “Bakudō #39: Enkosen, Bakudō #73: Tozanshō,” She mentally cursed herself for using her most powerful shield so quickly, before shutting her eyes. No matter what, she didn’t want to see what was coming her way. After all, she might panic and that would do nothing to the crystal that was all that was standing between her and the giant black cero.
The giant black cero descended within seconds of her shutting her eye. Her Enkosen shattered despite her efforts, and her Tozansho was also destroyed as it headed towards her. Luckily, her crystal shield held out for a little longer, but soon enough, it was demolished by the force of the cero. As the smoke cleared from the destruction, Suzume’s figure staggered into sight, visibly battered and bruised, with a million cuts visible on her skin. She was barely alive, yet had enough of her mind together to remember what she was meaning to do. Her glare landed on Kazuma, as she pushed herself to do the last act that she would most likely be able to do today. “Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku,” her voice was barely a whisper as she controlled her remaining strength to firstly trap him, “Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hadō #73: Sōren Sōkatsui.” Watching as her attacks launched towards Kazuma, a satisfied smile appeared on her face as she collapsed onto the ground, entirely drained from the attack firstly and the high-level Kido that she had used afterwards. “Sorry, Masashi-Taichō, I fulfil my duties…sorry, sister, for making you do this,” she choked out. Shutting her eyes once more, she sent an urgent message to her sister, Sorry for the inconvenience…my enemy used a giant black Cero…I think I might need some healing. She spat some blood out on the ground, before rolling onto her back and watching Kazuma to see what he would do now.

Kazuma The light is gone,
but I'll make my own..
He assumed he could have simply dodged Tadashi's assault, but with Suzume down, he felt the need to be injured. Tadashi's bolts was enough to cloud dust all around him, an Arrancar's heirro was nothing to forget about, but it was the point in looking somewhat injured that gave Suzume a chance to activate her hado as she was going down, the stage where one should be most vary of the enemy. Hierro was tough, this was true, enough to go through fights with these liutenants and come out relatively unscathed, but what the shinigami sometimes lacked in brute force, they made up in their spells and tricks, as Suzume now proved. Her shot was impressive for someone on the verge of collapsing, the two worked well togethor, Kazuma had taken notice of this.
He was bloody, bleeding at the arms which he crossed to defend himself against her kido, and surprised, but not so much worried on his condition, he was after all, a Sehira with a few tricks up his sleeve. Keeping a trained eye on Tadashi, he sheathes his sword to imply he meant no more harm before touching ground at the foot of Suzume's feet, peering down at the glaring girl. "Did you know? I have to bleed to actually activate this ability, spells of his magnitude could bruise my hierro, but not cut, yours however..." A cough of blood answered his own question as he spat out the horrible taste of iron he always felt after these battles. He examined the biggest of her wounds. the large X shaped slash, his bloody arm bloody arm dangling above the gash, dripping the Arrancar's blood. "Sangre de la Curación...." When the blood fell upon her wounds, Suzume would feel a burning sensation, followed by a cold sweat, and finally a jolted, energized feeling. Thanks to her "stunts" Kazuma had more then enough blood at the moment to give, but he wondered if she would be angry to be healed by the "enemy" Her gash considerably smaller, any blood that trickled to her other, smaller wounds were healed as well, as Kazuma staggered somewhat, resting his back against a wall. "Now then, realize the futility of your trials....Invertir Renacimiento" In a similar orb of light that first came when he transformed into an adult, he gradually grew younger and younger, his white jacket replacing the worn out samurai outfit, until he stood unscathed, correcting his right cuff. His childish face disguising all the mature things he had done, he had started to walk away, before Suzume found herself capable of standing again. "Again, tell the Bride I did not want this....." He stood in a more dignified way for his size as he looked to Tadashi, the boy, he suspected, was tougher then this, and could easily attack, which was unwise at the current situation. He was now back in perfect health with his only partner lying on the ground, and while she was no longer in any immediate danger, she wasn't exactly in the condition to help him if it comes to that.

Hod Sephira
================================================ Arian Aes ================================================ Burn the living
Cremate the deadDue to the fact that he was midway into an attack, and the fact that Nu sorely outclassed him in terms of speed, Fuerer was unable to react quickly enough to her electrifying attack. Thus, as Nu’s attack made contact from below, the combined brunt of Lee’s zanpakuto and kido attack crashed down upon him from the front. As thousands of volts coursed through his massive body, Furer could not help but let out a bellowing roar as he reverted back to his unsealed form, not out of his own will, but simply because he had ran out of stamina and could no longer maintain it. As he fell from above, Fuerer closed his eyes as his vision began to blur ”I’ll leave the rest to you, Lord Arian.” he mumbled to himself, his consciousness slowly slipping away ”I apologize...” he trailed off as the last remnants of his reishi platform dissipated, leaving to free fall downwards.
=========================================================================
Noticing Fuerer’s massive cleaving attack towards Nu, Arian knew it was nothing more but a distraction as he knew his Path was not foolish enough to engage someone up close, when he knew he was severely outclassed. As such, he immediately began charging another Fire Blast in his palm, waiting for either of them to take the bait, which was just what they did. Due to his Path’s massive size, he remained hidden from Nu up to the last minute when she appeared underneath Fuerer, and thus near Arian. Stretching his palm towards her, Arian fired the infernal blast towards her moments after she landed the critical attack against his Path. Taking note of both Fuerer’s defeat, and Lee’s initial assault, Arian remained fixed in his position, and instead of dodging the attack, simply braced for it instead, as the white ethereal wave swept over him, seemingly freezing him, encasing him in ice. However, his Aura of Fire decreased, or rather, increased the wave’s power by heating it as it passed through it. Thus, although Arian was quite chilled inside the ice, he was still conscious. Overhearing Lee’s incantations, Arian expected a Kido attack to come rushing towards him, which was exactly what happened.
Deciding that the blast would be too much to shield against, Arian activated Inferno, and in a heartbeat, a massive pillar of fire erupted from him, instantly vaporizing the freezing ice encasing him, and causing the Senju Koten Taihos to prematurely explode in mid-air. Blazing past the destructive Kido spells at a lethal speed; they threatened to overwhelm Lee as they rushed towards him as he was directly above Arian. Without pause, or mercy, Arian kicked a slab of earth underneath him, hurling it towards Nu as it was coated by his Burst Shell, aiming it slightly above her to prevent her from rushing towards Lee’s aid. Though he suspected it would not be so easy to outmatch her speed with such a brute attack, Arian was willing to take a bet. Glancing towards the area where Fuerer had crashed in, Arian was surprisingly void of emotion, it was not that Fuerer was still alive, but rather, it was that he had done his duty, that was all, and nothing else was to be added.
Then, the most unlikely of sights was witness by Arian, the sight of Zenos’ body being thrown in the air like a ragdoll, which was followed mere seconds afterwards by Hei, who was now in his resureccion form. Bearing witness to Zenos’ seemingly easy defeat at the hands of Hei, Arian made no visible attempts to aid the man. This was not because he held him in spite, far from it; it was simply due to the fact that he had not been given orders to interfere in another Sephira’s fight. As such, he simply stood there, waiting on Lee and Nu’s counter-attacks not really paying any attention to Hei.Follow your path

__________________________________
_____________________  Lucky dodge Sakuya thought as she watched Tetsu barely avoid her attack. She simply stood there, same hateful gaze, as he made a vain attempt to attack her. Sakuya could have easily dodged, but as the man had sealed his sword earlier she let the attack hit her so he could see how futile it was to attack her without even his shikai active. The attack skidded up her body, not even ruffling her clothes as it couldn’t begin to penetrate her Heiro. Sakuya was sick of the games with the man. He was lucky enough to dodge her once, but if he was going to continue toying around, she was going to make him dead. She used her speed draw to cut the palm of her hand as the man was moving away. Apparently he didn’t trust his comrade’s skills enough to stand there. Sakuya, however, didn’t move as Neida interfered, forcing the other captain into a fight. Sakuya was glad to see her taunting had brought about the desired results as Neida went at the captain full force, causing him to disengage the attack on her and turn his attention fully in Neida’s direction.
Upon turning her attention back to Tetsu, Sakuya noticed his Reiatsu had increased slightly and his weapon had momentarily switched to a scythe before turning back into a blade. The arrogant captain was now asking her name as if he had a right to it. She was only half paying attention to him, however as her attention had been shifted momentarily to the captain that was fighting Zenos. Hmph, so you figure you can beat us by becoming one of us, huh? Even so you’re still just a weak Shinigami at the core. My Zenos won’t die to you. Sakuya’s attention returned full to Tetsu just in time to see the incoming bone spikes. “Tch.” She used using Gemeles Sonnido, leaving a clone where she had been standing while she appeared behind Tetsu. Her hand was raised now and a shimmering silver Gran Rey Cero was being formed in front of it. “You have the audacity to ask my name after you continue to insult me with these childish attacks that couldn’t scratch a baby? I can see from you stance that you are an adept swordsman as well, so let me say this so that you get my point: I will not draw my sword against you any longer. As you are, you're of no threat to me and I reiterate, DIE!”
Sakuya fired the Gran Rey Cero at Tetsu then turned her head in time to see Irene’s demise. Rage boiled within her at the sight and it was further intensified by Aurelius’ ridiculous claim to neutrality. “You claim to be neutral, yet you killed one of my knights. If you’re half as omnipotent as you think you are, you know that makes you an ally of the Shinigami and as an ally of the Shinigami, you are my enemy. It may not be this day, but rest assured, I will crush you as well,” she said to herself as a single tear rolled down her cheek while she watched Aurelius nonchalantly stroll away. She used Sonnido to move next to the grieving Priscilla. She instantly grabbed the other woman by her collar and pulled her up. Sakuya then raised her hand as if she was going to slap Priscilla and anyone watching would be sure that she would, but she instead wrapped her arms around her in a loving embrace. “Now you feel my pain. And now you understand my rage. Irene’s death weighs heavy on all of us. Do not lose yourself to despair. Instead seek to cause our enemies the same pain they have just caused you.” Sakuya then let the girl go. It was very rare that she so overtly showed compassion, but Priscilla had so reminded her of herself after the death of her family she couldn’t help it. I was as if the past was repeating itself, only this time she was watching it from afar instead of being the central character. “Lady Sakuya,” Priscilla said looking Sakuya in the face. She was still sniffling, but she was no longer crying as she had been before. She then went to say thank you to Sakuya, but before she could Nanashi appeared behind her, grabbed her, and disappeared with her. Sakuya’s eyes widened at the sudden disappearance of all her knights. She was sure the Gran Rey Cero had killed Tetsunosuke, so she turned her attention immediately to the Shinigami who’s face she’d seen appear behind Priscilla as he had returned to the battlefield. “I will tell you this Shinigami: Return my Knights this instant or suffer my wrath.”

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ The Sixth Division Captain had cursed himself for being so arrogant; his attack hadn't done a thing to her. Hei seemed to be fighting Zenos, by the way their reiatsu's were clashing, it was like two thunderstorms colliding. He was able to not be drawn to a defenseless position. But their two reiatsu were something he would have preferred not to be around when fighting. Words started filling his head, they belonged to Ciel. 'Νanabantai-fukutaichō...' he thought as Ciel was still speaking. Not even before Ciel could finished, Tetsunosuke concentrated on Kyo's mind. 'KYOSHIRO!! WAKE UP!!!' A bead of sweat pour down his cheek as he thought it would more then likely be pointless to continue. 'Hachibantai-fukutaichō, Date-san... Are you with Kurihara-kun? I fear the worse has befallen my friend. I know I don't need to tell you to help him.' Tetsunosuke finished just as noticed he was staring at a clone. "Hmm... So I should probably pay more attention to my back side." He said before she started talking. He purposely did not turn around to face her. She was correct in all aspect, which made him feel small - in a sense. He knew she was planing to attack him from behind, a wordless Enkosen and a spike of Reiatsu was brought up to his back side right when she fired her Gran Rey Cero. The shield would only last a second before breaking, hitting Tetsunosuke with enough force to knock him out and send his body flying like a marionette. Tetsunosuke was sent away by the blast, smashing against the Hakase estate. He body was on his back side facing upward toward the sky. His eyes were closed but his Zanpakuto was still in hand. His top Kimono had been decimated but somehow his pants were still intact around his waist. Some of the legging had been ripped to the knees.
"Hahaha! Ya took that attack on purpose! And manged to not die, even not in Bankai. Smooth one." The Zanpakuto's voice littered his head. His blooded back was leaking a far amount of blood, and his arms had managed to not be ripped off his body, or even really that damaged. His hair was slowly falling flat on his head as wet; his had sustained damaged to his head as well. "Yer too generous..." No pain came from his voice as he spoke, and the mannerism of his voice had changed. Tetsu's eyes opened to see light, his pupils dilated and his visioned was blurred. "What the... I didn't say you could do this..." The pain filled voice shoot through Sakuzen Kosshi's ears. Tetsunosuke's Reiatsu could be felt coming from the katana in hand. "Nope, ya didn't. But yer disrespecting me by not fighting her with Bankai, AND not using yer full strength. Lemme show ya how it's done." Tetsunosuke's body was now being used by Sakuzen Kosshi. The color of its reiatsu had changed to a due azure/sky blue. "Fine... I'll comply for now, but you know I can step in when ever I want." Tetsunosuke's voice had a very smart alec tone. Sakuzen Kosshi slowly pulled itself out of the hole that was made from the crash. "Dang... Hei's gonna be ticked at ya. Heheh..." It stumbled forward and fell to its face. Sakuzen Kosshi had only practice the move a couple of time, so using Tetsunosuke body was hard for him. It wasn't its own spiritual body, so it didn't function as he would normally function. It laid there for a moment to try and relearn how the body worked. It would take Sakuzen Kosshi a few minutes. "I honestly don't care..." Since crashing into the estate, the drop in his Reiatsu was as if he had been knocked out and stayed that way, Sakuzen Kosshi had not changed it at all. It started to quickly learn how everything worked, but Sakuzen Kosshi still needed to learn a few more things before fighting.

☾ Nibantai Taichō ☽
Fire consumes all without prejudice
Thunder strikes one with divine prudence
She judges those other see unworthy
A tool for those who know it.

It was unteresting to hear Lee's voice so clearly in the battlefield, his voice echoing in the confines of her mind. "Not like we;re losing, let's just pounding on that damn Sephira till he goes down. And Lee....." Making sure her connection with him was solid and would not transmit to anyone besides Lee, and possibly Ciel, she continues. "Don't frighten me like that, I need you calm, we'll get through this together...." Watching as the large Path shrink and fall, she exhales a sigh of relief, before she was forced to move, Arian using the bulk of his Path to hide his actions as he aimed what appeared to be a fiery projectile at her. Standing her ground, she pulls her arm back, stores enough energy, and releases her own attack at his, the attacks nullifying each other in a wisp of smoke and ash. Nu's breathing came as hoarse as ever, her missing limb was taking its toll on her and she knew she couldn't last much longer at this rate, but she held firm, Lee was here, and she wouldn't let anything happen to him.
She was distracted briefly by Hei's sudden arrival, Zenos in tow, as he was literally beating every ounce of life out of the Sephira, perhaps his Mask gave him a more primal thrill for battle, it wasn't the time to judge. Leaving him on his own, Hei clearly showing he still had everything under control, Nu rushes in with Lee to attack, before Arian quickly summoned a pillar of fire, shooting up dangerously close in the same way Nu lost her arm. Before she could help the man, she instinctively punched a rock hurtling at her, a mini explosion knocking her off her feet, staring up at her friend. Lee, I don't think I need to say what will happen if that touches you........

719  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Malchut Sephira - Being of Lowliness
Αναζοωγόνηση: δεύτερο βήμα
[Resurrección: Segunda Etapa] Following his gaze had obviously been a mistake on Zenos' part as the second Hei made eye contact with him, he saw the captain grow in size exponentially as he suddenly became very aware of a sudden, paralyzing fear of this man. Frozen in place at the sight of the skyscraper-sized Vizard, Zenos slowly tilted his head up to look him into the eyes, just before Hei had arrived at his front to slam his hand into his stomach. Zenos was only released from the hold Hei's eyes had over him after he had already been caught by Hei, and his initial reaction was too look back at Hei just as he released and spun him into the air. With blood spraying everywhere in a spiral fashion as he fell beneath Nu, Zenos coughed loudly, spewing blood past his lips. Colliding with the ground, Zenos groaned and held his stomach as he shuffled his feet against the grass and and pushed himself upright. Looking down, Zenos focused his own abilities into his back, which suddenly caused iron whiskers stretch across and fill each hole left by Hei's fingers. Rapidly, this process continued, wherein hundred of these filaments stretched across the expanse of the hole until it was fully covered. The iron whiskers acted like muscle, tendons, ligaments, tissue, and skin all to repair his wound. The area on his skin where it had occurred turned a dull grey color, and hardened to a certain extent.
After sitting up, Zenos suddenly felt like his Resurrección was not beyond him, a feeling he had been getting ever since he had had it forcibly sealed. Sticking out his tongue, he looked down towards it and saw that the glowing rune was falling off of it, which meant to him that the ability had worn off. Staring ahead at Hei, Zenos suddenly summoned forth a rising, hollow column of sand that surrounded him and rose towards the sky in order to strike Nu, whom he had been directly under, out of the sky with it's force. His intent had not been to assist Arian in any way, it had just so happened that he was beneath her. "... Resurrección: Segunda Etapa..." His eerily calm words were followed by the sudden drop of his new and improved Reiatsu that was something equivalent to Hei's when he was using his mask. Suddenly the Sephira shrunk in size, going from 20 years old in appearance to something like 10 years old and making him 4'10" in height as he used Segunda Etapa. His hollow hole opened up by about an inch, his nails lengthened and gained a metallic lustre as his canine lengthened. After this, the only thing left was for a symbol to stretch across his back, though obscured by his clothes, and for his eyes to shift from red to golden. Concentrating his vast Reiryoku into his index finger, he began to force a jet-black Cero to form at it's tip as he aimed his finger at the location he knew Hei was.Zenos looked uncaring and distant as the Cero expanded, widening as it released an immense black wave of dark Reiryoku that turned any exposed light into absolute pitch darkness as it rocketed out of the column of sand to swallow Hei up.
After he had emerged from the hurricane of sand with twelve black blades surrounding him, Zenos took a step forward and vanished, leaving behind five afterimages in his wake, a testament to his speed in this form. Working each of the blades individually, he initiated an assault upon Hei as he appeared in front of him after the Cero had vanished, slashing with each blade in rapid succession from all conceivable angles as he made them break off and go around behind him as well. The four in the front were aimed to slash him across the chest while the two came from behind to silently skewer him in the back, and the rest were to attack periodically from all other angles. At the very last second, when his four frontal blades were to slash. Zenos pulled his dagger from his jacket pocket and thrust it between the slashes of the multiple blades, aiming to stab him in the left leg with his blade and turn the wound into stone. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄
