Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Enters from Labyrinth]


Evil entered the courtyard from the Labyrinth, looking shocked to see such a large group of Shinigami here. She paused for a moment, taking them all in before glancing back at Zaine. Then she spied her 3rd seat, having somehow escaped his cell, fighting with an arrancar. She debated about whether to address the clearly confused group of Shinigami, but then decided her presence should be enough to calm them down. She made a 'titch' sort of noise, then shunpo'd forward, towards Kasen and Nera, with Yamoto in between them. "You!" She roared at Nera. Her Reitsu was intimidating, the force of it crushing to anyone below Vice Captain. She snarled, stepped forward, her eyes still a deep black and the Zaigou symbols etched across her body. "You! You took my 3rd Seat! Now you're going to pay!" She glanced at Yamoto and nodded to him, but was otherwise focused on the arrancar.

Her fury was evident. It seemed to seep from her very pores. What gave the arrancar the right to just steal her 3rd seat like he was nothing but baggage? Her Zaigou form was making it harder for her to come up with rational decisions, and she was getting even more pissed off by the minute.

The wind suddenly picked up and raged within the courtyard walls as circles of dirt began to lift into the ominous air of Las Noches. This display from nature only lasted a few seconds until it slowly stopped and then lead the people within the area back into an eerie silence. Within that silence came a sound that would be familiar only to those who would have encountered this espada before. It was the sound that would announce the arrival of the segunda espada. The sound gradually got louder with every passing second as it echoed off of the walls of Las Noches in an attempt to instill fear within those weak hearted among the shinigami. Just as the sound reached it's maximum volume it turned into a piercing screech and then fell right back into silence.

"Shinigami..." said a deep toned voice from within one of the hallways leading to the courtyard. Two shining yellow eyes pierced the abyss of darkness that filled one of the hallways. The strong glare of these infamous eyes looked as if they were peering into the eyes of every shinigami individually that looked down the hallway. That same glare would feel as if the espada was searching the very soul of those who met it's gaze. Strangely, no spiritual pressure could be felt coming from the espada as he stood within the darkness.

Stepping into the moonlit courtyard the sound from before could finally be identified as the espada's zanpakuto dragging across the tiled floor. Majority of the face of the espada was still hidden within his jet black hair only allowing some of his features to be seen, but his eyes were by far the most visible as they looked to have held their own light as they glowed and illuminated his face from within his hair. "What business have you here shinigami?" spoke the espada yet again. "Turn away now or you shall all perish under this night's sky by my blade. Those are your options."

[Intro]

"Kasen......What the hell happened to you? How did you allow yourself to be taken." Zaine said quietly, he had not spoken once upon arriving in the courtyard only standing next to Evil with a frightening rage swirling in his eyes, the hatred he felt at this moment for the female arrancar who had taken his friend was palpable in the air, once could almost taste it. "And why should we keep her alive? When she was the one who kidnapped you?" he continued, only one arrancar was more despised by him at this moment, the one who had stolen Ami which led to the kidnapping of Ash, he was barely containing the urge to attack something, even the second espada himself, if it would bring his comrades back he wouldn't have paused, even though that would have been his death without a doubt. However even as angered as he was he knew that any such actions would be useless and only a boon to the enemies, he barely noted the unusual prescence of the other shinigami there.

Evil didn't relax as Kasen was able to get away from the arrancar. She was still pissed, but realized she needed to be diplomatic in this strange situation. She sighed, cracking her fingers on one hand. She still stayed in her Zaigou form, because she thought, with good reason, that there might be an attack. She had gathered from the people around her that the majority of them had been teleported here for some reason. She didn't know why this was, but she figured she could get some information from Temor. She was still worried about Ash and Ami however, and found herself in a Catch 22. If she left to go rescue them, she'd be leaving innocent Shinigami here to Wolf God's knew what fate. If she stayed here Ash and Ami might die. She growled, grinding her teeth together in frustration. The powerful scent of the strong espada filled her nostrils with a stinging presence, and she resisted the urge to gag. "Espada...I could ask you the same thing. It appears most of the Shinigami here have been teleported here for some unknown reason. Plus, it seems you've made hostile actions towards the Sereitei in kidnapping my 3rd seat." She said in a deadly serious voice. Her reitsu was still imposing and her black eyes were enough to send shivers up anyone's spine. She knew perfectly well who she was talking to, but didn't feel the need to use pleasantries. It was enough that she was restraining herself while in Zaigou form and didn't begin to tear him limb from limb.

The foolish bount attempted to launch an object at him but his aim was clearly off. He would have easily dismembered the poor soul but he knew very well it was rather due to his anxiety's, resulting from the situation at hand, that made him act so irrational. He was though rather relieve to see Evil's presence, but that was for a fleeting moment till he felt the dark energy penetrate the environment. Eyes glistened from the darkness of the corridor only to slowly reveal the presence of an Espada. Evil and the Espada began a rather unfriendly conversation and if this led to a confrontation it would be of great danger to the lower level shinigami's, who would be in the crossfire. It was the perfect time to stop further escalation and he needed to reveal his theory on the situation.

"Commander Evil, I believe this Espada does speak the truth with regards to the current situation. I believe he, as well as the leaders of Las Noches, are in the dark as we are. Consider the situation, we for one are brought here unconscious, yet when we wake up not only are we unharmed in any way, not a single enemy is guarding us to ensure we remain captive. I believe it also relates to the capture of the members of your squad. It would seem someone wishes for us to fight each other as to what purpose I may not know. The stage though has been set by the puppeteer for us to fulfill their wishes. We though have a choice to not be a part of this play."

Turning directly to evil.

"Evil, I can see you have more pressing matters than to focus attention here. I trust the words of this Espada and I believe we can find safe enough passage out of here. If they had intended to harm us we would have been harmed or entrapped the moment we went unconscious, yet we still have all our weapons and tools."

He did not know how the commander would react, but he himself did not wish to see pointless bloodshed. He could clearly see Evil was better served retrieving the lost than guiding them out of here.
