Kenshin was relaxing at his office, as he was enjoy a simple cup of tea with his new ally, Tobias Clark, as they were both alerted by the arrival of several interlopers. "Ugh, again?" Rolling his eye, Kenshin looked at his friend and noticed he nodded his head, as Kenshin vanished using shunpu to rush over to the scene. Once arriving, Kenshin was surprised to see the events unfold right before his eyes.
He noticed a full blown fight between Raiku and a masked individual along with the appearance of three more intruders inside the Seireitei. Among them, the current Lord of Hueco Mundo was present. He sighed as he appeared in front of the man, with a casual smile on his face. "Don't tell me that you've dropped down to the level of these masked individuals as well Aero!" Chuckling, Kenshin drew his zanpakuto and got himself into a decent fighting pose, as he kept his guard up, not knowing what was going to happen next.

Raiku Sato Squad 10 Captain
Raiku noticed the initial blade thrust, and quickly put on his hollow mask. Then as Zetsu turned to decapitate him, Raiku used the reflexes granted to him by his bankai to reach up and grab Zetsu's sword blade, though his hand took severe damaged, he had used the durability given by his hollow mask to keep it from completely cutting his hand. Raiku then gripped Zetsu's sword blade with enough power to keep Zetsu from simply ripping it away. Then Raiku raised his own sword with his free hand and swung down, "Kuroi Shuurai." Then a large black wave would quickly come at Zetsu, and would cause moderate damage if it hit. However, to simply dodge the attack, Raiku made sure that Zetsu would have to let go of his zampakuto to be able to do so.

With the fights getting underway and more Captains showing up, Aero was getting excited, he didn't know what to do, until he felt the familiar spiritual pressure. With a huge smirk coming across his face he turned around facing the newly appointed Head Captain of the Gotei 13, Kenshin Hiroshi. Slightly flaring his spiritual pressure he stepped forward towards Kenshin, now standing just a few feet away from him, his mindset was calm, even though they were enemies it was still like seeing an old friend, an old rival. "It's been too long, Hiroshi. I see you've finally stepped up from that s**t hole you were in. What do you do now? Do you play the daddy role for your Captains?" Pausing for a moment he was waiting for a reaction from Kenshin, he was waiting to see how long it would take for him to get pissed off. "Though according to my intelligence, not many of your Captains trust you. Hell you had one betray you and is now fighting against you with other traitors from the Soul Society." He stood still looking straight into Kenshin's emotionless eyes, Aero was happy at this point, he was ready to test his strength and against Kenshin, it was all the better.

ＹＵＫＩ ＶＩＡＮＥＹ________________________
ｌｉｅｕｔｅｎａｎｔxxｏｆxxｓｑｕａｄxxｔｅｎ
Yuki had been trouble the past five days and the only way to ease her thoughts was to train for this war. She has been in the dojo practicing her movements and strength. However Yuki thought that might have been a bit hash towards Raiku, sighing she made her way to his office as she tried to gather words. However turning a few corners, Yuki seen a large hole in front of the entrance of his office. 'A cero...' Yuki thought as she shook her head. All of a sudden as she was about to got into his office fully, Yuki felt two strong spiritual presser, however one was odd and stronger. Thoughts filled her mind a she hurried towards their direction.
Yuki arrived at the clutter of massive spiritual pressures that made her feel uneasy and slightly shaky, however she brought her own odd spiritual pressure from hiding, making her shakiness controllable. Shunpoing onto a roof top, she seen Raiku fighting a powerful masked man, with another Captain fighting a woman. 'This must be the group who now want to start a war..not mentioning Raiku is facing their leader...that idiot..' Yuki thought, unsheathing her Zanpakuto. Turning her head more, she seen the Head Commander facing the newest member of the masked, and the newest Caltain to betray the Gotei 13. Yuki was overall at stand still realizing that the Espada Lord was also teamed against them, not every surprising, she thought. These people were stronger than her, yet..they were invading her "home" and one is trying to harm someone that she swore to protect. However Yuki couldn't move, her body was being fought over, Noctis was holding her feet to the ground whispering coldly in her mind little negative thoughts. However Yuki watch Raiku fight their leader with everything he had, blocking the blade with his own hands and she could tell that they were barley cut, then yet he had the threat of his hollow taking over. Yuki cursed to herself as she was forced to watch all the fights take place for a few moments before braking the bond on her feet to the ground.
Shunpoing closer and placing her hand over her face, she formed her hollow's mask and quickly whispered to herself, "Let snow come within..Ice slash." Yuki had went to Shikai, her appearance changing as well with her zanpakuto. Yuki was now above both men, slicing her zanpakuto in the air in an arc shape sending a large body of water towards the masked man, if it would make any contact with his body it would instantly freeze him for a short time, but Yuki knew he was wiser and would mostly likely dodge. "White Ribbon.." Yuki said with a cold echoey voice, right after sending the body of water. Quickly the skies darken and her blade began to glow a pure white as Yuki quickly made white ribbon in mid air. After a few seconds the ribbon flew towards Raiku's hands and wrapped itself around his injured hands, quickly melting and sealing the cuts slowly.

As he watched the arrival of more of his former comrades, Grimm let out a small sigh as everyone else in their invasion group began to fight. Though he had slightly had his chance to fight it was against a couple of nobodies, he wanted to fight someone he knew he would be tested against, thus far there was no one worthy. His eyes immediately averted to the arrival of the Lieutenant of Squad 10. He watched her stand for a few moments watching Zetsubo fight Raiku, and then he saw her intervene getting in the way of Zetsubo's fight. Sighing again, he used his shunpo to appear in front of the blast of water and deflected it with his zanpakuto. After he was done deflecting the attack, he used his sheer movement speed to slice through the ribbon that was healing Raiku. He had his back to the Captain and to Zetsubo, his full attention on the Lieutenant."You should've remained in hiding Yuki. You are a fool to think you could help your comrades." Brandishing his zanpakuto and tightening his grip on his he looked at the young shinigami, no remorse for wanting to fight against one weaker than him. He knew he could take her with ease, but he really didn't wish to fight her, there was only one person he wished to fight and he could not feel his presence. He would have to settle on this lieutenant for now. "I will give you one chance to leave with your life. If you deny this opportunity you will die." Keeping it simple, Grimm held his zanpakuto at the ready waiting for her answer. If she decided to leave he would stand down, if not he would not hesitate to attack her.

Oleander appeared out of thin air and as he did so a pressure engulfed the Seireitei. Oleander walked through the choatic mess and as he did so the draft that he, himself created from his movements revealed the dusky pink linning on the inside of his Captain's Haori. Oleander walked through out the Seireitei from his office to see who or whom he would meet up with. Oleander's pale appearence and raven black hair along with the device on his face there was no way that anyone could mistake him for someone else. Well the Haori was a good give away to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A smile grew on the blind captain’s face as he heard the female voice speak his own name and position. He was less impressed at her knowledge of him and more interested in the fact that her voice was refreshing to hear amongst the three other males that she came with. He wasn’t surprised in the slightest of her intelligence, even if he didn’t know how she had acquired it. Why attack an enemy you know nothing about? He listened to her speak, admiring her voice as a change of vocal scenery, noticing her many titles and original position. Her name ringed a bell when she had said it, as he had recalled coming across it when he had visited the archives right after becoming a captain. This woman had been set up to be executed, but escaped the day of. He couldn’t remember why she was to be executed, though he was sure it didn’t matter now that she was here alongside the other invaders. He nodded at her in acknowledgement, having no need to respond with words to her. If any, he would say that it was his job to be one of the first who responded to threats, but he had a feeling she knew that already.
His blindfolded eyes were pointed in Nocella’s direction, even while Aero had taunted him. He didn’t like the arrogance that the Espada Lord had, even if he was powerful. Koetsu always thought to respect his opponent, weaker or stronger, it didn’t matter. It was simply a philosophical rule to him, and because of that he held disdain for the arrancar that allowed himself to get his species roped into this conflict. He said nothing to Aero as well, his decision not to speak much had rendered him resistant to taunts and therefore observant of strategies to get him to make himself vulnerable. Even if he could fight with the Espada Lord evenly, the arrancar had other allies that could theoretically join in on his battle.
There were no rules in war, no chivalry or respect. Just each side winning through any means necessary.
Koetsu’s ears had twitched as he noticed the arrivals of more Shinigami, including his head captain. His bakudo, as menial as it was to perform, had been quite useful as it had brought reinforcements with much more haste than what would have happened naturally. The odds were even now, and it was then that Koetsu began to evaluate the situation. None of the invaders, aside from the newly active Grimm, had attacked or even made a decision other than dodging or blocking Koetsu’s opening attack. If they were here to invade and destroy the Seireitei, then why were they so relaxed and incompetent at their jobs? No matter. He’d wonder about the answer to his question after the battle was over. Now that Kenshin was here, he could battle without being outnumbered, and his target was the ex-captain who knew his name. He trusted that Kenshin would easily handle the Espada Lord while he battled Nocella.
He dashed forward towards Nocella, noticing her sitting position and making a decision based off of it. His left palm glowed with yellow light as he moved towards her, charging up a hado. It was number thirty two in the series, “Okasen”. The projectile flew at her lower midsection, faster than he was running, and he expected her to block it effortlessly. So he had used Shunpo to close the distance, ending up a half a second behind his fired Kido. His zanpakuto raised high into the air, and he brought it down with both hands on the handle of his weapon. He was going for the head-splitter technique, one that was simply his momentum driven blade crashing down towards the top of her head. This double-mounted attack would leave him vulnerable to counter-attack if she had blocked it perfectly, which he didn’t think was likely, while he would be able to adopt a defensive position if she had chosen to simply Shunpo away.
His attack would test his opponent’s tactical responses once more, and at least get her to take the battle more seriously. She was here to invade and destroy after all.

xxxThe Captain was completely silent, using only body language to communicate with her. Well, she supposed it didn't matter anyways. She was here, he was there, they were supposed to fight. Small talk would be useless, unless she wanted to find out what he ate for breakfast this morning. Nocella gave a light sigh as he directly engaged her in battle this time, instead of aiming to oust all the invaders. What a drag. While she was the ex-Captain of the Eleventh Division and had the necessary love of fighting, sometimes you just had to draw the line. Though not particularly in the mood for fighting right now, due to Zetsubo and Aero, it seemed like she had no choice. Their idiotic actions of attacking the Seireitei with a three manned squad was suicide. If that was the case, they should have waited for their reinforcements to gather before heading out. There were plenty of hollows in Hueco Mundo and M.A.S.K members waiting to be called to battle. Both knuckleheads had decided to go solo. And why wouldn't they? Men were simple-minded, charging straight forward without heed of their surroundings. If their mental capacity was even half of a woman's, she'd combust from sheer surprise.
As the Captain launched a Kido at her then went in for close range, she had to applaud his tactics. A standard move, the long range attack would serve to either distract the foe, or open up a defense in the target. Meanwhile, the secondary close range strike would go for a fatal blow where the opponent would least suspect it, slipping past the defenses of when the opponent went to block the long ranged strike, leaving them wide open. It was elementary, and Nocella had long since felt the push and pull of a warrior's tactical outputs. Though the Captain was indeed faster than her; then again, who wasn't, she followed his movements with her eyes, letting her body react accordingly without much though. Just as the Kido was about to reach her, she spotted the Captain step into a Shunpo, raising his blade above his head. A simple downward slash, she predicted. Leaning forward, she used the full advantage of the slightly ramped roof, sliding her butt off of it as she fell with a minimalistic amount of effort on her own part. As soon as she slipped off the roof, the Kido sliced at thin air above her head, where she had previously been sitting. Latching onto the roof's edge with her right hand before she completely fell out of reach, she used her downward momentum to curve and swing her body back up. At the same time the Captain's swing was coming straight down, Nocella's right leg was swinging up towards his left ribcage ina roundhouse kick. Along with her momentum and gained speed, her blunt force blows weren't to be trifled with when infused with her vast spiritual pressure. If he had been anything under the rank of Lieutenant, he would be sent flying a good few meters. Based on his power levels and intelligence files, her kick wouldn't do much more than give him a nice bruise, based on the comparison between their Reiryoku levels.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Koetsu couldn’t say he wasn’t impressed at his opponent’s craftiness in combat. A simple use of the roof they were standing on allowed her to dodge both his attacks, and her counter-attack was imminent. Thinking quickly, as her foot came closer to him while his swing continued to fall through the air where she was, he curved the remainder of his swing diagonally in such a way that it would turn his body and push the left bicep of his arm outwards to catch her roundhouse kick. He thought about swinging towards her leg instead of the way he went, but quickly realized that her leg was faster and would reach him first. Her reiryoku-infused foot had collided with his left bicep, pushing the arm in closer to his chest, eliciting a grunt of pain from the captain. Though she had missed her mark, the attack had still hurt, and he could feel that she might have bruised it underneath his haori and kosode. If he had been faster, he would have been able to reinforce his own skin with his reiryoku to minimize the damage, but he really hadn’t expected the roof maneuver. Her use of reiryoku-enhanced hakuda inspired him to teach himself to use it more in the future.
He had begun to wish that these invaders hadn’t declared war on the Seireitei. Nocella was a great opponent, but her standing meant that one of them would have to die in order to meet their own set objective. He gave a nod of solemn satisfaction towards her, as the battle continued.
Her leg would still be in the air after rebounding off of his arm, and he played that fact to his advantage. Sliding forward, enough so that her knee was perpendicular to his lower arm, he enacted three moves in one fell swoop. First, his sandaled foot had quickly moved to try and step on and catch the fingers that she used to latch onto the roof when she fell; he aimed to prevent her from moving again easily. Then, his left arm, the bruised one, had reached around her leg, aiming to grasp it and lock it down with his arm and his side. His third action, this one coming a few seconds after the first two, was a grass-cutter sweep with his zanpakuto, going towards her midsection again, with the objective to slice right through it. He would swing with enough momentum so that he could bring the blade in to block another reiryoku-powered hakuda attack in case she had been able to dodge again.
This time, he was testing her speed. Would she be able to catch on to what he was doing and avoid his attack?

xxxBy the time Koetsu had launched his counterattack, Nocella was still in an awkward position from her last attack. Right fingers still on the roof, body turned completely upside down from Koetsu's point of view, right foot extended, it wasn't exactly the best place to be. Especially with a quick opponent. Though most everyone could certainly outrun her in the speed section, her reflexes and reaction times were superb enough to make up in that category. The only drawback to that was that it usually only applied to her stationary form. As soon as she felt pressure on her fingers, she withdrew her hand, not intending to escape, but to put herself in a suitable position to block or attack. At this point, knowing his speed, trying to dodge a blow from this range with his speed was going to be impossible. She didn't nearly have enough time to get her feet onto solid ground to push away from him. Like lightning, she thought of the best course of action she could take, excluding scenarios and thinking out possibilities like a supercomputer calculating data.
As soon as she slipped her fingers out from under the Captain's foot, she pulled her knees into her chest, curling up into a ball as she continued her flip. This simple singular action served to do many things at once. To begin with, the most obvious thing it did was pull her foot out of the reach of his attempted grapple. It also made her a smaller target, allowing her to only narrowly avoid his grab by a few centimeters. The more unobvious result, at least to the untrained eye, was that curling into a ball and reducing the area of her body spread greatly lowered the air resistance and drag speed it took for her to complete her 360 spin around the roof. While it might seem inconsequential, it bought her precious milliseconds of time that it took for her to react to his high speed moves. And that wasn't all. By curling into a ball, she completed her rotation back to right-side up quicker and easier. After all, a ball turned easier than a stick, didn't it? Her calculated moves were enacted with pinpoint precision; simplistic, elegant, maximum utility, and a show of true raw potential.
Now flipping right side up faster than before, she immediate uncurled out of her position to plant her feet on the edge of the rooftop. The crouch she was forced to land in, due to the momentum of her landing, gave her the perfect opportunity to vault from the rooftop. Even despite her craftiness in her tactics, his ending counterattack slid his blade down the side of her foreleg, cutting through flesh and giving him the honor of first blood. Flipping once more from the edge of the roof, she landed squarely on the ground in a crouched stance, left hand on the hilt of her Zanpakuto and right hand holding the mouth of the sheath. Pushing down on the sheath where the sheath's mouth and the sword's crossguard met, the reverse end of her Zanpakuto went up, aiming the handle of her weapon towards the ground. "Femme Fatale Style, Kiretsu!" she called, quickly cutting the koiguchi of her blade and drawing the entire length of the Zanpakuto clear out of the sheath with one move. Due to the positioning of her blade, her sword slashed diagonally upwards, flinging a sizeable amount of reiatsu that was channeled into the blade. The sheer reiatsu coming off of the swing created a wide air cutter composed entirely of pressure, cleaving straight through the building and rooftop of where Koetsu was standing. In an immediate follow up move, she took the momentum of her swing to do a full 360 circle, coming back around for a similar secondary slash that would create an x-shaped cleave in the building when it hit in rapid succession.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The battle had taken an interesting change in direction. Koetsu, though wounded on his arm himself, had been the first to draw blood from his opponent, and she had moved from the advantageous rooftops to the ground below. He had heard the gymnastic movements that allowed her to dodge his grapple and wished that he could have seen it with his own eyes. This Nocella, if not too fast, was certainly elusive in combat, far more than he had expected her to be. The way she dodged his attacks and reacted to his movements, it was almost graceful; as graceful as he could feel at least. It was times like this where he regretted swearing off his vision; he always missed out on the beauty of combat with someone as strong as or stronger than himself. He missed out on faces too, with only spiritual signatures and sounds as ways to recognize others. He had definitely memorized her voice in all this, as he was sure he’d hear it again. He had a feeling that the invaders would be pushed back and forced to retreat to their lair or wherever it is they hid. He had a feeling he’d meet with her again, so that voice of hers stuck around in his head.
He sheathed his zanpakuto, preparing to jump from the roof, when he heard her speak the name of a technique, alongside a powerful slash that unsheathed her blade. He felt the reiatsu leave her blade as a wicked slash, one that flew quite fast at Koetsu and the rooftop. With haste and not much time to make another decision, he pushed off the rooftop into a backflip, feeling the reiatsu slash sail below him, clean through the rooftop and most of the building where he previously stood. He fell towards the ground after his flip, about to shoot a restraining bakudo, when he heard her spin and fire another slash of reiatsu at him. Having been in mid fall, there wasn’t much he could do with his body to dodge it like he did the first. His zanpakuto was sheathed, so there was no deflecting it with his blade. He gave a second of thought, before both his hands shot out towards the projectile flying at him, his left hand a palm and his right hand a pointing index finger. “Sho.” A speck of his own silver reiatsu had jumped from his finger, flying directly into her wave. The reiatsu wave flew back towards its owner, as if puppet strings had manipulated it into returning. In reality, he had only used the first hado to push her attack back at her. Simplistic really, though it had killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he ‘dodge’ her attack, he ‘attacked’ her back, as well. His open palm channeled the energy of another low-level hado, “Byakurai.” again, this one aimed at the shin of her left leg. He figured that she would be guarding her own returned attack, and wouldn’t expect for his attack to shoot towards her leg.
He wasn’t a Kido expert, but he certainly knew how to use the low level ones very proficiently. In fact, he enjoyed them more than the higher ones. The greater the number, the longer it took to channel reiatsu and use, which meant more vulnerability or a higher chance at dodging. The lower leveled kidos had far more use creative combat situations.
He landed on the ground, moving himself to a position where he was directly across from her, both of them on the ground without the annoyance of advantageous rooftops to stimulate the dodging of attacks. He unsheathed his zanpakuto, holding it in front of him, ready for her responses.

xxxAs Koetsu turned the force of her attack back at her, Nocella simply sidestepped the returned attack. Though the air pressure was completely invisible, it would be a shame if Nocella didn't know the status of her own attacks. The length, width, speed, velocity, pressure...all that fun stuff was calculated into her brain like an encyclopedia. What would normally be a deadly blow to an unknowing opponent was like a partner in dance with Nocella. In perfect synchronicity, she moved against her attack, letting it just glide past her at the last second, as it smashed into the building behind her. As the terrain shifted, she gave a slight smirk. She much preferred open ground as opposed to obstacles. It gave a sense of freedom, and left combat face to face with nothing but your opponent and your weapon. No tricks, no hiding, no trying to deflect blows. You either attacked or defended with your own power, or you were screwed. There was nothing to help you on empty terrain. Unfortunately, the Seireitei was composed of walls upon walls of buildings and streets, making it a complex maze of roadways. Not to mention there were other pairs of fighters that were doing battle around them. She didn't fail to take notice of her surroundings, lest an enemy force leave their fight to backstab her at any time. No distractions would ruin her tactical calculations.
As he launched a secondary Kido to back up his ricocheted attack, Nocella once again slid away from the completely linear beam that was aimed close to the ground near her leg. Letting it narrowly zap past her thigh, she closed the distance between them in a dash. She fully expected him to be prepared for her counterattack, and prepared he was. The same tactic usually never worked twice, due to the fact that seeing it once gave great insight into his battle moves. Not only was it predictable, but he had to be a little more creative if he was going to catch her off guard to land a few blows. The wound on her foreleg wasn't serious, and she barely felt the pain or the hindrance of the injury. High off the blood rush and adrenaline coursing through her veins, she was fully absorbed in the notion of combat, going through all the movements and sword strokes. Despite the reluctance to battle before, no respectable Captain of the Eleventh Division didn't have fun during a match.
Gripping her sword with her left hand, she slashed at the Captain with a swing parallel to the ground. The following action happening so quick, it seemed to occur nearly simultaneously, a flick of her wrist changed the position of her blade to a reverse grip, allowing her to swing the pommel of the blade at his upper chest. To finish off the thrice launched attack, her free right hand slipped the sheath out of her belt, aiming for a blunt force blow at the stomach with a precisely timed stab. Happening all in rapid succession, she entire display of moves took a little over a second to execute. Three moves launched almost simultaneously at him, in theory, at least one of the attacks should be able to slip past his guard if he didn't react accordingly. The first horizontal slash was meant to be blocked. His most logical course of action would be to raise his blade to counter. After all, he had it lifted, and blocking her blade with bare skin would only cause him further injury if he wasn't prepared for it. All this was merely premises, or a precognition of how the events would, or rather should, theoretically play out. After purposefully allowing him to deflect the first strike, the secondary strike of her reversing her grip on the blade with such fluidity would literally roll the edge of her blade around the Captain's own, allowing her to slip past his blocking guard. The third strike was a fail safe after her second attack struck. In the event that the second strike didn't hit, the third one gave another opportunity for a direct hit, so as to not result in a complete failure. Again, it was all theoretical. Many other things factored into this plan, the most important one being that he held his Zanpakuto with two hands. If he had one hand free, the second attack would surely fail, if he caught the pommel of her blade in time. But her first strike had been a powerful one, and she was hoping that he realized that he needed two hands to fully block her reiatsu infused attacks, lest he falter or stumble in his footing form the force.

As Raiku had grabbed Zetsu blade which he was expecting something like this from Raiku whom do anything to protect his comrades, he watched as the blade had came down towards him along with the reitsu. Grim eyes closed a little, which with ease he side stepped away from the attack even letting go of his zanpakuto for a quick instant to dodge. Though in short noticed he had noticed the arrival of his lieutenant whom had began to heal Raikus hand, healing the blade into Raiku which was going to make things somewhat worse. He looked up and saw the arrival of Grimm and then looked at Raiku, which under his mask he had a slight smirk because he also felt the arrival of Kenshin."Well well well...you've decided to come out of hiding."he had thought to himself, which he used his overwhelming speed to grip the hilt of his zanpakuto.
He looked at Raiku with a calm look and"Some very impressive strength you have there...captain I can imagine what you do with this strong grip."he said calml but comical way. Zetsu humor had slightly came out he was complimenting the man, at the same time being funny."Though now its me that have you actually."he said once more. "Dākuinpakuto haka (ダークインパクト墓: Dark Impact Grave)"he said as the blade began to glow a light purple. With a instant, since the blade was already in Raiku then Zetsu didn't need anymore tactics to use this technique. Now that Zetsu's blade had been stuck in Raikus grip, he would began to feel some of his reitsu slowly draining into the blade (10&#xma;x).

Raiku Sato Squad 10 Captain
Raiku's face took on a look of irritation when he heard Zetsu's comment. "Wow, I've have to say, that joke was so wrong, on so many levels dude. I mean it, never say that again....ever." Raiku then began to notice that the blade was beginning to steal his reishi. Raiku then groaned in frustration. "If I survive this fight, I am definitely going teach Yuki not to heal a wound that has an enemy weapon still in it. Especially not if its a zampakuto, because of all the weird crap these things do." Raiku was thankful for the thought though. He then looked over in her direction briefly, and saw Grimm confront her. Raiku became enraged at this, since he knew what that monster had done to his own squad. He hoped Yuki could handle him, since Raiku knew he couldn't get away from Zetsu. Raiku then looked at his hand again and he raised his own zampakuto, which still had raikiri active. Raiku then pointed the tip of his blade at his hand and quickly made an incision on his hand around where Zetsu's zampakuto blade was. He then ripped his hand the rest of the way out, and his face showed the immense pain he felt from doing that. "That was not fun in the slightest." Raiku was angry now. He had ended up losing about 4% of his reishi, but he knew what he had to do. Raiku faced Zetsu as his injured hand bleed onto the ground. "Alright Zetsu, you've seen my bankai. However, I'd like to show you something that I've never shown anyone else. It's called my Shattered form, or more formally known as Second Stage Hollowfication. Our fight will be over within about five minutes now, because that's how long the form will work for." Raiku then placed his hand towards his mask. He made a light tap on the forehead piece and then instantly a thin crack formed down the mask and reishi poured out. It surrounded his entire body, and he quickly emerged in a form similar to his full hollow form. However, there were a few aesthetic differences. For one, his mask still resembled his normal vizard mask instead of looking bestial. In addition, his hollow armor appeared more loose, since it lacked the muscle details of a full hollow form. "This is my shattered form, I am still in complete control despite my appearance. I would explain further, but I simply don't have the time." Raiku's voice still had his general tone, but his voice sounded completely like a hollow's now. Raiku threw Zetsu back his zampakuto, and then disappeared. Raiku then disappeared and reappeared to the right side of Zetsu. Raiku then threw a reishi-enhanced punch at the right side of Zetsu's face, which would shatter the man's mask. Zetsu would have a hard time avoiding this, not only due to the fact that the speed of his punch was immense, but also due to the fact that Zetsu wouldn't have been able to track Raiku's movement to where he was, due to the fact that there was nothing to trace. Raiku had used his shattered form's ability to teleport to travel over there.

He listened to Raiku recommend him not to use such a joke, which did he care? Not really, he was joking to show Raiku how uninterested he had become with the captain."If you say so captain..."he replied calmly. Though he had jumped back once the man had became enraged after seeing Yuki being confronted by Grimm. He brought his eyes back to face Raiku's eyes as he saw the man began to cut himself to remove Zetsu's sword."Interesting..."he said tom himself thinking what was Raiku up too. When the man began to speak about him showing something else new, this has caught Zetsu's interest once more. As Raiku began to explain about his shattered form, he listened but honestly was tired of the man talking. Once Raiku took on the form of his next stage, Zetsu right eye opened a little bit as he watched the make hone this new form.
"Very..very interesting..."he said, he knew something was different of the captain when he looked into the mans eyes earlier. This man had reached a different level of evolution which was different from Zetsu own evolution. Though in a instant Raiku had vanished, which Zetsu couldn't feel where his power had went. In that same moment, Zetsu had felt a powerful force hit his mask which had sent him flying through a few walls. Once he had hit a building a large explosion had form. Zetsu whole right side of his mask had cracked, which had revealed his actually vizard mask. The man had slowly stood up as he used his enhanced vision to see where Raiku was standing.
"Hmmm...so all I need is five minutes.."he said to himself. He had felt his mask which he had felt his mas had been broken revealing his vizard mask. This had ticked Zetsu that his mask had been broken, which he slowly closed his eyes. He then opened his eyes."Fine.....I guess I should get serious."he then rushed towards Raiku slashing his blade at the being.
