|628| Masashi, Lee, Gobantai Taichō"Telling me to go. But hands beg me to stay. Your lips say that you love. Your eyes say that you hate. There's truth in your lies. Doubt in your faith. What you build you lay to waste. There's truth in your lies. Doubt in your faith. All I've got's what you didn't take. So I, I won't be the one. Be the one to leave this. In pieces. And you, you will be alone. Alone with all your secrets. And regrets, don't lie. You promised me the sky. Then tossed me like a stone. You wrap me in your arms. And chill me to the bone. There's truth in your lies. Doubt in your faith. All I've got's what you didn't take." 
Lee watched as the path was defeated a look of apathy on his face as he watched the man fall to the ground. He had tried to warn the man that he was severely outclassed earlier so as far as he was concerned it was the man's own fault. Hearing Nu's words in his head Lee let out a small sigh allowing himself to relax his tense muscles for the moment. 'Yeah I hear you. Just be careful alright? I think I already mentioned killing someone for making you cry. The same goes for hurting you physically Nu-chan.' Looking down at the frozen form of Arian as the kido rushed towards him Lee narrowed his eyes slightly as Arian suddenly exploded in the familiar inferno that cost Nu her arm. Watching as the kido was hit midway Lee expected the two to just cancel each other out. Then out of the smoke from the kido exploding the fire continued to climb higher towards him causing his eyes to widen slightly. "Tozanshō, Enkosen, Kyōmon." Saying the three barriers in rapid succession Lee watched as the pyramid grew around him, which was then reinforced with an enkosen stretched around the pyramid thanks to his skill in kido, and finished off with mirror door reinforcing it further.
Thinking that it would be enough Lee waited and watched in slight horror as the fire continued on melting the barriers with seeming ease. Eyes widening as he looked down at what could potentially be his death Lee brought his blade up and swung down completely releasing a wave of water down the middle of the fire. The fire erupted around him though not directly thanks to the wave of water. Feeling the extreme heat from the fire Lee spun in a circle with his blade extended. "Sazanami." Releasing highly pressurized waves from his body they shot out protecting him from being roasted alive as the fire died down. Breathing heavy Lee noticeably had some burns on his skin though Elisia had addressed him deciding to reply to her directly. 'No Elisia-taicho. Go help the others we can handle ourselves just fine. I am sure others need medical attention.' Cold eyes staring down at Arian Lee was considering the possible different counter attacks. The man was seriously becoming an annoyance. Then Hei and Zenos entered the scene directly in between Arian and him. Watching Zenos get attacked and seemingly defeated Lee gazed over at Hei coldly as Hei spoke mentally. Sending a wave of water down at Arian letting it soar right past Hei Lee scoffed and replied to him.
'Please tell me you aren't letting your hollowfication affect your brain. If you seriously think that is going to defeat him so easily when Yuki literally cut his brain in half then you are a fool.' Surveying his injuries for a moment in indifference Lee figured it could have been a lot worse. Turning back to Arian Lee prepared to move in case the man decided to explode in flames again. The man was becoming such an annoyance Lee was prepared to use Bōsōmizu to hopefully end the battle soon. Then came the huge amount of sand erupting underneath Nu and attempting to swat her out of the air. 'Look out Nu.' Then Zenos did something that actually left Lee speechless and released his Segunda Etapa. Eyes widening as he stared at the man in shock Lee wondered when exactly Zenos had gained that. Turning to Hei as Zenos attacked him Lee stared at him for a moment wondering if Hei would be taken off guard or not. Then Lee gazed back down at Arian with hatred deciding to wait and see how Hei reacted before deciding on a course of action with Hei.
"Sacrifice through Danger and Pure Love. That is what the Lily of the Valley symbolizes."

☇【 ｙｏｎｂａｎｔａｉxＴＡＩＣＨＯ 】 Elisia was a little surprised when Lee told her directly that it would be better if she went off and helped others. Understanding, she nodded, but lingered for a little longer, whispering, “Chiyudō #17: Keikatsu.” Lee’s burns would heal, and that was all the injuries that she was able to see at the moment. Very well, Lee-taichō, but take care. About to depart, she had only taken one step when out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the massive sand column that was rapidly rising towards Nu. Uh-oh. That wasn’t good. “Cancer.” she mumbled under her breath. Almost a split-second later, the plants shot up towards the sky, the vines wrapping around Nu in order to safely carry her down. Hopefully everything would go alright here, since there wasn’t much more that she could do for the moment. Look after yourself, Nu-chan. she told her friend, before turning on her heel and zooming through the crowd. There wasn’t a specific battle as such that she was meaning to enter, but she was supposed to be healing and looking for people to heal. Scanning the area as she moved through, she stopped next to Tetsunosuke’s injured body.
“Breathe, Harasawa-Taichō, and try not to move for a bit. I need to heal you,” she warned him in a stern voice, knowing that there was a liability that he might think she was the enemy if she didn’t tell him by her voice. “Chiyudō #30: Iyashi,” she muttered, making sure that her patient was comfortable before she started. There was no cloth to get in her way so she was easily able to complete an examination of him rather quickly. He was pretty badly injured, most likely from a strong Cero or something similar to that. Hurriedly cutting herself, she let the healing solution in her blood slowly heal firstly his back and his head – the two places that she could tell the damage was severe – before moving to heal the minor injuries. “Libra.” she said, thinking that she might check whether he was alive or not. Funnily enough, the scale didn’t stay still as it normally should, instead it kept on swinging between one side and being perfectly balanced in the middle. A confused expression appeared on her face, as she tried to decipher its meaning. That meant he was conscious or conscious on the inside and unconscious on the outside. She had been about to ask, when she suddenly jerked upwards, her eyes full of fear. “Impossible,” she breathed, her eyes staring blankly at the space in front of her. Her sister’s message had finally gotten to her, and she found herself now utterly terrified about her sister’s fate. Pulling herself together, she absentmindedly patted Tetsunosuke, forgetting that she didn’t know whether or not he was conscious or not as she told him, “Your body might be a little sore, but it should be perfectly fine soon enough. Call me if you need anything else.” With that, she hurried off towards where she had been before, her mind overridden by conflicting emotions that would simply not leave her alone. All she could think was, Please, not Zume, I can’t stand losing her…please… Her pure alarm drove her faster, to push her body beyond her limits, as she didn’t know what she could expect there. ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬

"Tch.....cheesy line there Lee....." Huffing to herself lightly, he watched as Zenos crashed below her, already rising to his feet, his unique way of healing helping him in that matter. Hearing Lee's warning, he looked down to find a rising column pillar of sand shooting up towards her. Before she could do anything to it however, she was wraped in vines that safely took her out of the strike zone, as well as carried her down slowly, a head looking for the cause came across Elisa as she left, her message ringing in her head. "Yeah, you too Elisa.." Arriving on the ground shortly, she quickly walks over to Lee, the last bits of his injuries healing as she rested a hand on his shoulder. Before she could speak, however, she was silenced by Zenos's Segunda Etapa, a new ability since the last time he was here. From there, nothing seemed to change about him but his appearance, appearing as a child now, but vastly more powerful; and faster.
Her eyes had trouble keeping up with him as he practically mugged Hei, as if his Cero wasn't enough. Twelve eerily sinister looking blades traveled with him, Zenos using them as his main offensive technique, to attack Hei, using his hidden dagger for last.

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
 The gods trembled
The demons flockedSensing the sudden appearance of a Kido spell, Hibiki knew it was the work of Hideki. Noticing that it was the Kurohitsugi, Hibiki stepped back a bit to make sure he wasn’t caught alongside it, though given the fact that his Uchiwa attack had pushed Neida backwards, he didn’t have much to be afraid of in terms of getting caught in the cross-fire. Catching Hideki’s portal open just at the corner of his eye, Hibiki turned to face the man who seemed to be visibly tired, not so much that he was panting heavily, but it was still a bit odd for Hibiki ”Given the offensive potential of the attack, it will most likely take her some time to recover.” Hibiki spoke as he waited for the Kurohitsugi to fade ”Though I don’t expect her to be finished just yet, she’ll most likely be fatigued.” Hibiki was a tad bit confident that Neida was down for the count, something that would prove to be his downfall soon enough.
Just as the black shroud of the coffin began to peel away, Hibiki faced the dark structure as he waited for Neida to appear. He expected her to either be unscathed due to a last second defense, or extremely injured due to the power of the attack. What he didn’t expect was for her to be both unscathed, and still have enough power to launch a counter-attack, just as the Kurohitsugi that was supposed to do her in peeled back. Eyes widening upon the sight of the insanely large Cero Oscura, Hibiki’s mind didn’t bother to figure it out if it was one or two, as it would disastrous for him to be hit either way. Switching his Uchiwa blade into Fujin, before switching it to Fukuro, Hibiki knew he only had a short amount of time to react. As the massive darkened Cero swept over the area they were in, Hibiki disappeared in a blink of an eye, relocating himself using Tori to one of the Fukuro blade fragments hovering around the area. It would seem as though he had successfully escaped, however, the window of opportunity was far too small, and as Hibiki’s figure reappeared slightly above where the Doble Cero Oscuras had landed, one could see that the entire frontal area of his white dress shirt had been torn off, exposing the bruised skin underneath. As the remnants of his entire upper garment fell off him, Hibiki panted a bit, as she bore witness to Neida’s Segunda Etapa, a form he had not expected.
Knowing that Hideki had some form of dimensional travel, or whatever it was, Hibiki knew that the attack wouldn’t be enough to do him in just yet, he had either escaped or defended against it, something that Hibiki would most likely find out sooner or later. Watching as Neida started to approach them, Hibiki fought back the urge to reply to her taunt, she was a powerful opponent, and they would do well not to provoke her, or underestimate her. Keeping his Fukuro about him, the blade fragments swirled around him randomly as he waited for Neida’s next move. Hearing a voice in his head, Hibiki realized someone was using Tenteikura, as it was the only possible reason why he was hearing a voice in his head. Listening closely, Hibiki understood the basic mechanism behind it and attempted to initiate a mental conversation with Hideki "Given that she has fully released, what do you propose we should do to handle her without getting killed?" realizing that it was a bit easier than he had expected, though perhaps because of his skill in Kido, Hibiki formed another mental connection to Tadashi, who, in Hibiki's haste to take care of the Sephira, had been left behind by his Captain "Yo, how you holding up?" he spoke "Sorry about leaving you behind, but I figured you could manage. Anyway, best of luck to us all then." with that he refocused back towards Neida as he awaited Hideki's response. He felt a sudden spike in reiatsu where he could feel Hei's reiatsu from, but he deemed it too risky to turn away from Neida.The winds were unleashed

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant 'Damn, damn, damn!' Tadashi exclaimed in his own mind. Kazuma had simply slipped past him and gone to Suzume. He didn't even bother firing any bolts down and instead chose to rocket downwards, holding the claw in a menacing position above him. The Shadow Blade Extension was clearly visible on the claw, making the range of each blade like a spear's. Tadashi saw Kazuma was unarmed, and that he was also doing something strange to Suzume by using his blood. Tadashi didn't much care for what he was doing as much as how to kill him for doing it. The battle and bloodlust was now rising rapidly. Usually the stress of battle would stimulate these killing intent senses earlier, but there hadn't actually been much combat for him apart for some crossbow shots. It seemed Kazuma could only avoid his melee strikes and brush off his crossbow shots (which should have at least punched holes in the hierro).
As Tadashi was about to lash out, he saw his shadow suddenly duck into Kazuma's and smirked. The shadow was about to impale the Sephira from its ground position. It was like some kind of land shark - it looks for its next target until the opportunity arises, then it disappears unseen before the target and strikes out. Now ignoring Kazuma and hoping the shadow would do its job, Tadashi flash-stepped right to Suzume's side and, after removing the crossbow by absorbing it back into his body, scooped her up with his free hand and stepped away in the blink of an eye, taking full advantage of his Bankai's agility boost.
He knew Suzume was hurt, and he also figured that whatever Kazuma did was negative to her health as well. Tadashi scanned the area frantically for Elisia or some other healer and brushed off a message from Hibiki without even a reply thought. Then, remembering that 'thought link' system, he messaged Elisia. 'This is Tadashi...I have Suzume,' he said quickly, hoping she'd find him.

__[622]__⌠ H i d e k i < ⌂ 朱 出 来 […] 得 血 ろ ⌂ > U c h i r o ⌡ ▬▬▐ J ŭsanB a ntai Taichō Feeling: G e t t i n g S t a r t e d "Truth is simply a conception..."
Rolling his right arm in its socket, Hideki listened to Hibiki while he spoke. Hideki's eyes were focused on the Kurohitsugi. "She shows some talent worth mentioning, yes. We have nothing on her, and she could have everything on us. Be cautious." Hideki slipped his hands into his pockets, inhaling deeply and shifted in his place while the damage, or what should have been damage, would be shown. His eyes could barely make her out in the shadows of his Kidō, so he switched his eyes to their Night Vision mode and modified it to focus forwards and let in only light coming from there into his retina. His eyes caught glimpse of a changed appearance, but only a glimpse, as just when he saw her it was blacked out by something.
Hideki's eyes widened as he felt Hibiki vanish from beside him. He refocused his eyes, and changed to his normal vision at the same moment. The mass of energy surging his way was to close for him to think of going anywhere that would be beneficial to his well being. This resulted in him taking the brunt of the beam, throwing him backwards like a rag doll. It impacted Hideki on his upper right torso area, hitting his shoulder. It threw him back for a few feet before Hideki opened a portal to Datenshi's realm both in front of him and just behind Neida. It would absorb the attack and redirect it immediately out behind Neida. Hideki was aiming to distract her while he moved around. The area that the Cero hit was suffering from second degree burns, leaving a few blisters and some broken skin; more than anything the area was uncomfortable with the remaining part of his tuxedo ripped to shreds in that area.
Disappearing from his spot behind his portal, where Neida could not see him, Hideki would reappear directly across from Hibiki on the other side of Neida, with his hand held out in front of him. He contacted Hibki with his mind before he proceeded, allowing him to know his plan. We just slow her down so we can get in deep. Her weak spot is the neck area, or so I have chosen to deduce. Keep note though. I saw something in the shadows before she countered us. She is still hiding something. Any way, I'll try to slow her. Taking a deep breath he shouted out, "Bakudō #21: Sekienton! Bakudō #12: Fushibi! Hadō #73: Sōren Sōkatsui! Bakudō #26: Kyakko!" Hideki lifted his right hand to the sky, forming the Sōren above him, casting a blue light around him, then lowered it to in front of him while a small red orb formed with the blue orbs core, this being the Sekienton. His eyes focused on Neida and shot the beam forward, whistling for her. Upon impact, the explosion would cause a read smoke to cover her area, keeping her from seeing anywhere near 10 feet in front of her clearly or even at all, as well as unleashing the Fushibi net that would bind her to Hideki's foot in a large spider-like net. The Kyakko that Hideki casted was for Hibiki's own benefits, covering him in a cloak that would make him invisible in every way to Neida, allowing him to attempt to sneak towards her in the chaos that was the flurry of Kidō.
I'll leave it to you to get to her now... Hideki was panting, now. His chest heaved up and down, at this point his reiatsu was not exhausted, but it was heavily taxed at one time. Hideki would do his best to keep his normal speed like this, though that would prove to be quite irritating to do.
"...Where nothing is in stone."

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 had already given herself up for dead, drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness as she attempted to divert her mind away from the pain that she was in. Nevertheless, she was unable to ignore and detach herself from her body as her body suddenly experienced a burning, then freezing and finally a jolting sensation, before a pleasant feeling spread through her injuries, the pain dulling before fading completely. Hesitantly peeking one of her eyes open, she slowly gathered herself together, testing each one of her muscles as her sister had taught her to. Who had done that? She knew very well that her sister was not in the near vicinity, due to the fact that she could not feel her sister’s presence. As she noticed some blood that was left on her through one of her eyes, she realized that was most likely what healed her. That was strange. To say the very least, she knew that her sister’s abilities incorporated healing with blood, but she knew of no other Shinigami that healed in that manner. Working faster than usual as a result of her near-death experience, her mind jumped to a hasty conclusion – the only logical possibility at the moment. Since there was no Shinigami nearby capable of healing, that only left one of the Sephira to have healed her, as she had no idea of what their abilities were.
Rolling her shoulders to work out the stiffness, she vaguely recalled Kazuma saying something about telling the Bride, who was obviously her sister, that he didn’t want this. Her sister had been rather angry at Kazuma, when Suzume had taken over, as she argued about their wedding and the fact that it had been ruined. Sheesh, these creatures were rather strange, to say the least. Suddenly remembering that her sister would have gotten her last message and would be heading this way in a panic, she sent another one to reassure her sister, saying, I’m fine, Eli, don’t worry about me anymore. Go heal the others if you must. I was healed…it seems like you’re not the only one that heals with blood. With that done, she opened her eyes fully, blinking several times. Someone was carrying her, it seemed. Seeing Tadashi, she pulled an apologetic smile, inwardly annoyed at herself for having to inconvenience another person yet again. “It’s alright, Tadashi, I’m fine now,” she told him, “I’m healed for one reason or another. What happened to Kazuma?”

⋆⋆⋆∥ ＨＡＫＡＳＥ xＥＬＩＳＩＡ
☇【 ｙｏｎｂａｎｔａｉxＴＡＩＣＨＯ 】
Elisia put another burst of speed towards her, as soon as she had gotten Tadashi’s message. While there was an element of relief there, it also confirmed what Suzume had said firstly. At least, Zume wasn’t alone and entirely defenceless. Thanks for telling me, Tadashi, I’m on my way there right away and-- her message cut off halfway as she received her sister’s second message. She skidded to a hasty stop, a frown appearing on her face as she absorbed what she had been told. Another healer? No, that was impossible. She knew all the abilities in her Division and nobody had anything like that. Perhaps a Sephira then? The Sephira’s abilities were unknown to her, except for Zenos, who obviously controlled sand and stone and was a vampire too, from what she had seen of him. If there was a healer on their side too, it might make things troublesome, as it would mean that the Shinigami did not have that advantage anymore, despite the fact that the Sephira, half the time, didn’t seem to need it, as they managed to heal themselves. Very well, Zume, but don’t let your guard down. If there is anything wrong, don’t hesitate to flee and signal to me. I will be there if you need me. she conveyed the message again to Suzume. Sighing softly, she wondered exactly why the Sephira had healed Suzume in the first place. Well, it wasn’t her place to barge in or interfere and she should just be thankful that he/she had done that in the first place.
Suzume said she’s fine, but if anything comes up, please call me. Thanks for looking after my sister, Tadashi, she sent one to Tadashi also. Hopefully, everything would go alright over there, but she knew that her sister would merely feel guilty if she went over there, so that was not an alternative. Instead, Elisia nodded strictly to nobody in particular, telling herself, “You don’t have time to delay, go and do your job.” Her mind flickered briefly to Tsukiko, as she wondered how the girl was doing. It had been a short time since she had last seen Tsuki, but to her, it felt like an eternity. They’d have time after all this, perhaps, if everything was sorted out before long. That thought cheered her up immensely as she whirled around, turning back to where she had come from. Right now, she felt like she was a yo-yo, being dragged forwards and backwards all the time. All her thoughts vanished as soon as she noticed the injuries that Hideki and Hibiki had sustained from Neida’s attack. However, almost a second later, Hibiki all but vanished from her view and although she tried multiple ways of sensing where he could be, it proved futile. Ah, well, she’d deal with him later. Slicing herself, she gathered some blood in her hands, before shunpo’ing and appearing right in front of Hideki.
She pressed her bloody hand to his upper-right torso area, before saying, “Uchiro-Taichō, you really should take better care of yourself.” While her tone was entirely serious, she flashed a smile at him a split-second later, as she rummaged through pouch for a bandage. As soon as she found a suitable one, she wrapped it around his shoulder and torso, taking care to be gentle. A worried look appeared on her face as she noticed that his breathing was rather heavy, from over-exertion or something similar. This Sephira must be quite a powerful one to make Hideki like this. “You look after yourself, alright?” she said, absentmindedly patting his cheek. Bobbing her head, she shunpo’ed away so that she was out of Neida’s range. She was going to need to heal Hibiki after all this was done or if there was an opportunity, and for now, she was concerned about Hideki’s condition. There were no other immediate injuries that she needed to tend to at this very moment and she’d might as well linger about to see whether she would be able to lend a hand in any way to help in this battle.

 Can't we all see that the fighting we do
PAOPUPAOPUPAOPUis pointless?
PAOPUForget it......
The battlefield is my playground,
PAOplay with me~
Kazuma The light is gone,
but I'll make my own.. 
Strolling now, trying to get as far away from Suzume and Tadashi as possible, he was attacked yet again, by Tadashi. Sighing to himself, deciding to hold nothing back, he merely touches his sword, muttering. "Armadura de Dios Sol" His abilities were not as strong as his pre-released form, but it was enough efense for him at the moment. What was curious though, was that he did not attack Kazuma, Kazuma's own shadow tried to. The problem was, however, was that before his shadow struck, he activated his ability, eliminating his own shadow, while casting everything one. With no threat left as Tadashi left to carry a perfectly healed Suzume for odd reasons, he continued his stroll, before something else random comes. He was in no mood to fight, he had his personal quota of blood spilled, and that was enough for him. His outfit was perfect, as usual, any remains of battle not shown physically, as he always was. Using a sonnido for more distance, he leaves quietly in search of other Sephira, in case they need any assistance.

871 [Lobo de Temor 3/6]   Hakase Hei
Jūnibantai Taichō
"...allow me to show you a fate worse than death." Taking a moment to respond to Lee's know-it-all statement, he cast him a glance, enforcing Miage-nyūdō no Ome into his stare to do the same to Lee that he had done to Zenos mere seconds prior. "Who the hell said anything about defeat, anta? I merely said that was easier than I had thought it would be. Pay attention when I speak, you may learn a thing or two." Upon feeling the increase in Zenos' Reiatsu, notably how the feeling of it was much like his own Reiatsu when he was using his mask, Hei turned to where Zenos had lay, and prepared himself, knowing well what few things were coming next. Though he couldn't see Zeno's transformation, he certainly heard the words he spoke, and accurately predicted his use of a Cero Oscuras by gauging the formation of Reiryoku simply by feel alone, and took the appropriate counter measures for it; summoning his ultimate Inugami; Cerberus. Out of the shadows it crawled, forming rapidly just as Zenos was about to release the Cero Oscuras, and with the static sound of a Sonido, put itself in between the Cero and Hei. The two objects collided, and as Cerberus halted the entire Cero itself, it also exploded in a mass of shadow, both effectively cancelling each other out.
Zenos was quick to follow, and Hei was also quick to be ready, though admittedly he was put on the defensive quite a bit. It was one thing to be a master swordsman, but dealing with 12 blades and Zenos' dagger at once was tough for anyone. Arguably, he would have stood a better chance against this technique if he had been using Hyakuman Shōhisha's Bankai, but he needed this form to beat Zenos in a battle of stamina, and it was necessary to see it to the very end in order to wear him down. Turning his arm diagonally in front of his chest, he swung it towards the blades, using his Hierro to counter the blades, though they inevitably proved to be too much for him and left four gashes across his arm. Ignoring this minor annoyance, Hei gave them one more push to temporarily knock them back while he created many more black spears to tangle up the remaining blades that he could see and yank them towards the ground.
Unfortunately, he remained ignorant to the blades coming to his back until the very last second, and by sacrificing protection to his front, he halted one of the blades by grabbing it with his bare hand, allowing the second to pierce his lower back, and for Zenos' dagger to drive itself into his left leg, and then be removed, turning the wound to stone. Obviously he knew this meant trouble, he didn't need the sudden stiffness of his leg to tell him that, so he promptly, but very briefly entered a form known as Kuon Eisō, which consisted of the black spears wrapping all around his body to conform to his shape and frame in order to create a situation in which he was protected and could move freely, but also where he could use his mind to move himself, even if his bones were broken, similar to the Quincy technique, Ransōtengai. Of course, the movement ability was limited so it wasn't suitable for battle in the sense that the Ransōtengai was. With the spears guiding his pitch black body, Hei kicked off from the air to land on the ground several hundred feet away from Zenos.
The spears fell of his body and disappeared into the shadows, and after examining the wound on his leg, he recalled Zenos once telling him that the technique would not wear off like his other attacks did, but would instead have to be removed by surgery. Seeing as how there was no surgery to be done on the battlefield, he made the obvious choice of grabbing the wound with his claws and quite literally pulling a chunk of his own flesh from his leg and tossing it aside. Around this time, High-Speed Regeneration had already taken care of the gashes on his arm and the hole in his back, so it was only a matter of waiting a few seconds before his leg was fully healed. Slapping his thigh in an effort to show Zenos that he was no longer wounded, he stood up and drew his katana, placing Lobo de Temor in his mouth. He took a step forward and was suddenly behind Zenos as though he had passed right through him. As he had moved, a white tiger had manifested itself with his movements as a medium and appeared to deal three slashes across Zenos' chest with it's claws. This, however, was not the case, as Hei's movements had been so rapid that he had actually aimed his swords to slash him across the chest with all three swords while h was still invisible to the naked eye. Quickly slipping his swords back into their respective saya, Hei used a Gemelos Sonído to move behind Zenos and aim a kick to his upper back to send him towards the ground. "So, you have one of those, eh?"

Jūichibantai Fukutaichō Nanashi turned his eye onto Sakuya as she shouted her annoying, hate filled words at him. He narrowed his only visible, at least to her, and then slipped out of this expression, replacing it with a wide grin. "Knights? I don't know any knights. Nope... Not a clue." Folding his arms across his chest, he raised his head to look at the sky, his hair obscuring his eyes as he contemplated on what she had just said. "Knights... knights... knights... Oh!" Quickly tapping his fist into his open right hand, he nodded quickly in her direction, but then quickly shook his head. "You mean the girls that were getting trounced by the Lieutenants? The way I see it, they're safer where they are now." This was, of course, not his actual reasoning for moving them, but Sakuya couldn't deny that his words held some amount of truth to them- they had been taking a beating from the Lieutenants. "Unless, of course, you want me to bring them back out so I can kill them this time. I was nice last time, the next time I will not be so merciful. Unless you think you are capable of stopping me from sending each of them into space where they would die in seconds." Without pausing for a response, Nanashi shook his head again as though Sakuya's potential response meant absolutely nothing to him.
"I didn't think so. Where they are, they shall stay, though I might let them out for good behavior. I think, though, that anyone would die with out food for a couple hundred years. It's also dark where I put them, they might just go insane and kill each other." Shrugging, Nanashi gave her a wide grin and glanced around at his colleagues, who did not seem to be faring so well. At the moment, he wasn't sure who he could help. Hibiki was still fighting Neida, now all alone, Lee and Nu were fighting Arian at once, Hei was fighting Zenos, Elisia was tending to Hideki, and the rest of the Captains didn't seem to be doing anything, which was pretty messed up considering the number of wounded. There was also the matter of their Captain Commander, who was still missing, and for good reason, since she couldn't possibly know what was going on at the current moment. "Tch. Why has no one thought to do this already?!" Fuming, he vanished on the spot and arrived near the first Division, which was far enough away from the battlefield that he couldn't be seen by Sakuya. He quickly located a Jigokuchō that attached itself to him, and ran off towards the location of the 1st Division's Senkaimon. Hardly able to explain himself quickly enough to the attendants at the gate, he quickly delivered a flying kick to the both of them before opening the Senkaimon and disappearing inside to the Human World. |Exits|...Ara?___

Ʌsami ϒamamoto
Jūichibantai Taichō
╚══════════════╝
With my fist in your face...
Asami had been lost in thought for a few minutes as the fight had raged around her. 'Sorry guys.' She put the thoughts into the web which spread out and went to each and every shinigami present. 'Got distracted for a minute.' She shook her head for a moment as she fully came back to reality. "Guess its time to get in this fight and get serious." She smirked as she saw Nanashi with one of the stronger looking opponents. 'Tetsu, looks like you could use some help.' This time her thoughts were sent to Tetsu rather than everyone. 'Hope you don't mind if I cut in.' As her thoughts traveled to the man she disappeared from her spot and reappeared near Sakuya. "Hi there. Tetsu's a little busy right now so I'll be stepping in for him."
With another Shunpo she moved away from the girl. "The names Asami Yamamoto. Captain of the Eleventh Division, and you are?" Asami knew the girl was a b***h and didn't expect her to return the introduction. But Asami had done her bit anyway since it was just how she was. "I'm sorry but I'm not going to hold anything back on you. So I'll be starting with my...." She paused for a moment before speaking the final word. "BANKAI!" The final word was a scream as opposed to Asami's normal calm tone. Instantly she was enveloped in hundreds of thousands of hexagonal squares that surrounded her body and destroyed her clothing, reforming into her Bankai outfit. After the hexagonal shards formed into the bandages and clothing that covered her body tattoo's began to grow on her skin, coming out from under the bandages to cover most of her body. At the same time two feathers appeared on her face, one on either cheek. The one on her right cheek being silver with the quill pointing down, the one on her left cheek being black with the quill pointing upwards. A pair of silver "brass" knuckles formed on her hands that instantly shifted into a pair of gauntlets that covered her knuckles and part of her hands as well as her wrists, with thin tendrils running farther up her arms. "Now then, shall we dance?" Asami asked this with a smirk on her face. She knew the woman was strong and that alone Asami would quickly go onto the losing side. However she figured for a few minutes she would be fine on her own, until Tetsu got himself together to help her out.
... and your face on the floor.

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi looked at Suzume and realized he'd just been carrying a perfectly healthy girl in his hands for no reason, as if he was abducting her. 'I suppose this means you are not scared of women anymore?' mocked Tenma, punctuating the statement with a devilish chuckle. Tadashi blushed furiously and immediately found a patch of ground to set Suzume down. He sent a 'Not a problem' thought to Elisia and a vocal "Forgive me" to Suzume. He then recalled the method of healing the Sephira had used - blood. That was certainly something he hadn't heard of before, considering Tadashi used blood for his torture technique as opposed to healing. Looking for said-Sephira/good samaritan, he noticed the boy had fled the battlefield.
"It seems he ran for it..." observed Sakamoto with some mixed feelings. On the one hand, he still wanted to murder the little b*****d as per his natural battle instinct, but then he remembered he'd spared a Shinigami's life rather than administer the finishing blow. He supposed it would be better to ignore the Sephira for now and find a new target. Looking over at Suzume, he asked," Well...do we seek out a new opponent together, or seperately?"
Tadashi knew that even with his Bankai, he'd have a difficult time with any one-on-one battle with this calibur of enemy. Still, most of the battles didn't require such a match because most of the allied Shinigami were engaged with an opponent already. He could either join Hibiki and Hideki alone or stick with Suzume and assist someone else.

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 winced slightly as she noticed the fact that Tadashi was blushing. Then again, if she had been in his position, she’d most likely react in the same way. Perhaps it might have been better for both of them if she had just told him at the beginning that she was alright. As he placed her on a patch of ground and apologized, she waved his apology away. “Don’t worry about it, thanks a lot for helping me, anyway,” she forced herself to be nice to him, remembering to hide all signs of her irritated manner, as she was infuriated by the fact that a Sephira had chosen to heal her. Thankful for being alive, yes, but still pissed off. Kazuma had run off, apparently, and they were left with no enemy for the meantime. Maybe he simply didn’t want to fight or something like that? She sighed. These Sephira were weird beings, to say the least, and she had no understanding whatsoever now of the way they worked.
As Tadashi asked whether they should seek out a new opponent together or separately, a fierce look appeared on her face, as she thought it through. While it would be nice to be able to take out an opponent together, she doubted that she had enough energy to be able to fight and support him as she had done before. She would heal in a few minutes or so, but in that time, he would have to simply stay here, waiting until she got her energy back. Nah. Her gaze rested on her sister, who was healing Hideki. It might be better if they actually continued to fight, instead of wasting any time. All the other possible opponents were rather powerful, and two Lieutenants taking them on might be a little bit much. Hei was already fighting Zenos, and with all the attacks there, she doubted that any of them could make a difference. “I think it would be better if we separate as my power’s not entirely back and I’m not sure how long it would take,” she carefully said, “I’m sure that your Captain will most likely need your assistance, and I’ll just stay here for a bit. I’ve got enough energy to protect myself if necessary, and I’ll join in another battle when I’m all ready again.” Flashing him a smile, she clambered to her feet, rolling her shoulders again.

381  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Malchut Sephira - Being of Lowliness
Αναζοωγόνηση: δεύτερο βήμα
[Resurrección: Segunda Etapa] Zenos was a little surprised by the fact that Hei had taken to completely removing the petrified flesh from his leg instead of just using his that Bankai of his to reverse its effects. Witnessing that, he surmised that either High-Speed Regeneration used less energy than that particular aspect of his Bankai, or that he was incapable of using it at all. Given Hei's prior displays of power, not just today, but over the many years he had known him, he decided that it was the latter on the grounds that High-Speed Regeneration, which required sufficient Reiryoku to perform, couldn't possibly use more Reiryoku than a Bankai that Hei could keep active for an extensive amount of time. With that in mind, he knew he could get away with using his Titanium Skin for this entire fight, and not worry about his Seigenshi compromising its structural integrity. At that moment, just as he was preparing the envelop his whole body in the ultimate Hierro, he sensed that Hei had moved behind him after he had drawn his swords. With the Titanium halfway up his torso, he blinked to witness white tiger coming straight at him, attack him, and promptly vanish afterward without seemingly doing anything.
Knowing well that Hei wouldn't do something so grand without a purpose behind it, Zenos decided it must have been a high-speed attack delivered by Hei and deduced that about a half second before three gashes that had been halved due to his Titanium Skin being there, appeared across his chest just before his Titanium Skin continued to cover his whole body. Curling his upper lip, he held onto his chest with his right hand and turned to catch Hei's ankle with his left hand, easily stopping his momentum and causing Hei to fall over and be hung in the air upside down in front of Zenos. As his wounds closed up beneath his Titanium Skin, Zenos stood staring down towards Hei's eyes before silently nodding his response to Hei's question, then proceeding to bury his titanium-enforced knee into his chest twice, then calling forth steel cables from the ground that began to twist themselves into a helix shaped before they whipped into the air and shot towards Hei's body to skewer him over and over. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄
