300  ┏ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┓ xxxAurelius - Infinitus ┗ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx┛ Shrugging, the young boy glanced at Ori before straightening up and suddenly arriving at a position to Ori's left, though he was higher in the air than the Sephira was, such that his feet were to Ori's chest level. Clutching the wine bottle, Aurelius turned to face Ori and glanced down towards his face, keeping his distance, but not out of fear. It was out of his desire to have his personal space. "It's pretty simple, brat. The way I know so much about you and Tomomi is the same way I know that you used to live in Romania, are an expert in Long Xing Mo Qiao and died at the age of 30 after you took a bolt to the head from your father. That you're actually 300 years old, 6'8", 170 lbs, and more arrogant that I could hope to ever be. Though arguably, the latter is very easy to tell when you start talking. It's also how I know what your Shimbare and Kuuhaku do, as well as how and when you will meet your end. I can only say this; enjoy it while it lasts." He stopped talking as Yuki had appeared and responded to his earlier taunts, prompting Aurelius to watch in amusement, particularly amused by the Captain Commander's choice of attire; she really was a beauty and had a perfect figure. Once Yuki was done, Aurelius gave him a short wave. "And yes, I am more powerful than you are, though I regret to inform you I shall not be proving it any time soon. I already know what's going to happen and tears really aren't my thing, so I'm leaving. Later, Ciudat Unul." With this, Aurelius' form shimmered like a mirage and faded away as he returned home for the first time in a year.  ℬalance ℐs ℬeautiful

Hod Sephira
================================================ Arian Aes ================================================ Burn the living
Cremate the deadSquinting slightly as he observed Nu not only sustain the whip’s heat, but handle it as well, Arian remained undeterred as he was confident that his strike would incinerate the Captain into ash. Feeling a bit of force from the Captain as she pulled on his whip, Arian braced himself for the backlash of Nu’s frontal attack. Given his set-up, it was impossible for Nu to escape unscathed from her own assault, however, he had made a fatal error in his tactics, one that would soon cause him a world of hurt as Nu used Senka, completely avoiding his attack, and unleashing her own attack upon him.
Arian’s Explosive Ash effect was absent due to the fact that his Aura of Fire had been sacrificed to the sword, as such, the only defense between him and Nu’s attack was his supplemented Hierro, and though it was insanely tough and durable, almost to a fault as it weighed him down like lead, the strike still possessed enough power to send Arian’s mind reeling from pain. Had he a mouth to scream with, Arian would’ve let out a bloodcurdling roar of agony, but as things were, the Sephira’s muscles instead tightened as he felt the intense radiating pain as well as the painful electric jolts that accompanied the sensation that was caused by Nu’s attack. However, Arian was still far from defeated, clutching his blazing sword in his hand, Arian turned around to where he approximated Nu was.
He was soon met, however, by the onslaught of attacks that were launched by Lee. Squinting once more as Lee hid himself using the Sekienton, Arian prepared himself for whatever the Captain would throw at him. A bit surprised at his sudden appearance close to him, Arian didn’t even have time to react to him, as his image melted away, revealing itself to be a clone, but more importantly, an added distraction. Feeling the intense gravitational binding not only on his arms, but on his entire body, Arian scoffed for allowing himself to be caught in such a crucial state. Looking back up at the man as he supported the weight of his friend, Arian had a guess that he was assuming his next attack would defeat him, which was something Arian wouldn’t allow.
However, the limits of his strength and power would soon be tested, as the Tenran erupted forth from Lee’s zanpakuto, Arian struggled in vain against his bindings, the black holes proved to be far more powerful than Arian had anticipated. Peering in to the whirling vortex of wind, water, and lightning, Arian knew he was facing a literal storm, and decided that there was only one thing that he could possibly do. Concentrating each and every fiber of strength left in him, Arian managed to flick his sword in front of him, casting it into the maelstrom that roared towards him. As the blazing sword twirled in the air, it was engulfed by the Tenran, and once inside it, struck the winds that comprised it. This was enough to unleash the inferno that was trapped within, and in mere moments, the entire Tenran tornado, as well as the water and lightning that supplemented it, was burned by a fire stronger than Hell. The winds were consumed, the water was turned into vapor before being consumed as well, and the lightning was overpowered by the fire’s intensity. When everything settled down, Lee’s attack was gone, Arian’s sword was embedded on the ground and the Sephira was still standing, though still bound to the air by Lee’s Kuyo Shibari.
While regaining his strength, Arian was alerted to the sudden, but all too familiar reiatsu as it was dumped upon the entire battlefield, if not then the entire Seiretei. There was no mistaking the power, nor the signature, it was Ori, the Sephira who was now as Aurelius called him, the Perfect Hybrid, but more importantly, he was their leader. As Nu raced off towards Ori in anger, and most of the Shinigami gasped at her reckless assault, and Yuki’s subsequent appearance, Arian managed to finally break free of his bindings, at the same time that his Aura of Fire returned, something he hadn’t expect to take him so long.
Remembering that his task was still far from finished Arian, for the first time since his battle began, moved from his place and started walking towards where his sword had embedded itself. But he was met by Yuki, the Captain-Commander herself, realizing that there was no way he could possibly come close to her speed, Arian decided to abandon all thoughts of launching a counter-attack against her. As the Explosive Ash covering his entire body exploded by the thousands, Arian was given a taste of just how formidable the Shinigami’s leader was. Though, he had no interest in combating her, as it wasn’t his place to do so. True that the attack imposed additional damage to Arian’s frame, the Sephira was hell-bent on enduring through until his task was done. Oddly enough, Arian completely ignored Yuki’s presence and stretched his hand to grip his sword, before once again being rudely interrupted by another appearance, namely Sakuzen’s. Agitated, Arian lashed out at Sakuzen with a powerful backhand that would send him flying if he was caught off-guard. Finally grabbing his sword, Arian scanned the area for his target, Nu, who he found along with Elisia.
Not one to care about anything else other than the task at hand, Arian applied pressure to the ground beneath him, cracking it under foot and separating a sizeable slab from the earth underneath. Grabbing it, Arian hurled the boulder sized earth at Nu and Elisia at extreme speeds, it was mainly headed towards Nu’s direction, but given the projectile’s size, Elisia was most likely going to get caught in the blast as well, seeing as how the rock was now covered as well by Arian’s Burst Shell. Gripping his sword, Arian encased it in fire, activating his Flaming Blade ability. Seeing as how the Shinigami acted with emotion, something Arian had little of in his resureccion, he guessed that he was going to be assaulted quite furiously, Lee was most likely going to hold him in scorn for attacking Nu, especially since she was weakened, and he might as well anticipate some vengeful attack from whoever cared about Elisia.
Zenos was defeated by Hei, and Arian and the others weren't doing so well with their battles. Ori's arrival may be enough to tip the scales in their favor, but Arian wasn't about to get overly confident or complacent anytime soon.Follow your path
Forsake everything else

 ɳɘɪɗɑ Ѻɿȶɪɀɀ ﹃ The Arrancar had thought she was going to finally do in with this Shinigami she had come to detest. But, after her punch had landed, her kick was stopped. A grind from her teeth as apparent as this other Shinigami had appeared. She looked, just two fingers, so she followed it with her originally intended punch, it was palmed, to which caused her to instantly walk away, but her feet had not grip. She floated now, backwards away from the two Shinigami. This must have been the girls power's, to effect gravity - or so Neida pondered. She hated this feeling, for the brief moments, she succumbed to her ability.
The Reiatsu of the Shinigami Lieutenant changed, taking on a stronger feeling, a cloak also presented itself, indicating that Bankai was being activated to the obvious. Just as her arm started to extend, Neida covered her chest, but a feeling in her told her that probably won't be enough. Just as Tsukiko began to open her mouth and talk, Neida's words were hot on pursuit. "Resurrección: Segunda Etapa." She said with a calm voice just before the gravity would hit, the second stage of her Resurrección would take hold of her body, but still cause significant damage to her.
The attack sent her flying backwards, crashing into the ground and causing her to skid to a stop about 6 miles away from where she was. Her panting came now, Tsukiko was aiming to knock her out or kill her while she was in her Resurrección form, but with her Segunda Etapa, she was able to stay conscious for the most part. Nothing her been broken, but a large bruise was present under her skin. She shook her head and gritted her teeth from under the mask that hid her face. Her vision was provided by her outer armor, she could see all around her as she wanted. Having a headache was the least of her worries, she had noticed that Ori had finally awoken and come to Soul Society. A feeling of failure came over her, she was the most loyal Sephira and she had not done in with a single Shinigami as of yet.
Her legs were in shock, she could not move them for the sac of her life. The feeling of failure and the strike from Tsukiko's strong blast had caused her to become temporally paralyzed from waist down. 'Calm yourself...' she told herself in her mind. Her heavy breathing soon leveled out as she knew Ori would be displeased with her either way. Neida could tell that Sebastian and Sakuya were still fighting the good fight. Arian was enduring his wounds, being the headstrong person he is was working for him now.
Their Captain-Commander was now here, this woman seemed strong, her ability to stand up against Ori's attacks. The small child who had not vanished seemed to know more about Ori then almost anywhere; besides Zenos. The Gevurah Sephira wobbled to her feet finally. She could not move her legs just yet, the blast still seemed to be effecting her body more so then she thought, and at the moment, she opted out of using High-Speed Regeneration due to the taxation to her Reiryoku.
﹄ ((I am still having writer's block. DX I am sorry for this post and its entirety. Taigaa, if you want me to edit to where she actually gets knocked out, just say so please. Hope you are not mad))

__________________________________
_____________________  Sakuya held herself back from slicing Nanashi’s tongue out of his mouth when he began to speak. It was annoying but as long as only he knew the location of her Paths, then she would need him alive. This fact was made increasingly annoying by the fact that he also knew that. People always seemed to find courage they wouldn’t have shown before when they have hostages. It was cowardice at its best, hiding behind a veil of courage. “Fine, we’ll do this the hard way then. I much rather prefer the hard way anyhow,” Sakuya said with a shrug. She figured she would just torture the fool and anyone he cared about until he caved. The fact that he was a man made torture all the easier. All men have one particular weak spot that would much rather prefer didn’t receive any damage. She went to move towards him, but he suddenly disappeared. It took her a few moments, but she finally traced his Reiatsu through the chaos of the battle. “Silly little sheep, running serves no purpose if you don’t hide your Reiatsu.”
She went to move in the direction, but Asami appeared in the way. She only half listened to the Captain talk as she was more focused on tracking Nanashi’s Reiatsu. However, it disappeared completely. “Thanks to you, my very important prey escaped,” Sakuya said with a sigh. “Now I'm pissed beyond pissed. Normally I would toy with you, just so you can despair at how truly pathetic your power is, but I am short on time and I have a feeling you won’t be a good girl and go stab yourself to death so I have to do it.” While she was insulting Asami, she was actually excited about the prospect of fighting someone who immediately felt the need to fight at maximum power. Her hand moved to her wakizashi and she drew it before moving it in front of her chest with the point down. “However, I do like that you find me enough of a threat to fight serious so I will do you the honor of seeing my Ressureccion. If you survive more than ten seconds against it, I’ll tell you my name as well.” Sakuya flashed a twisted one sided smile before releasing the blade while at the same time saying, “затмение серебряный лунный свет.” Instead of falling to the ground, the wakizashi floated up into the air above her head where it exploded in a burst of light, leaving behind a 3 foot glowing orb.
She could hear Aurelius taunting her from in her mind, but she ignored him from the time being. She had no time for a so called god that behaved no more mature than the child he appeared to be. His time would come, but not today. Today was the day of reckoning for the Shinigami, and she had to focus on that primarily as Zenos had asked her too. With Zenos’s falling she had entered a state of zen anger. She was fuming, but for now it had given her a strange sense of peace. She noted the appearance of Ori and the Captain – Commander, but decided to go back to her primary goal instead of acknowledging either of them: killing Asami then torturing the location of her beloved Knights out of Nanashi. “Asami Yamamoto was it? Dodge.” Sakuya then drew her katana and performed the same attack she’d used before in her attempt to behead Tetsu. This time however there was an added element, which was why she hadn’t bothered to move into melee range with Asami. Once again, not appearing to have move only apparently switching from not having her katana to having it, she slashed at blinding speed sending two perpendicular shimmering crescents of mostly transparent energy that was her moonlight bala in Asami’s direction. Sakuya wanted Asami to die, but part of her hoped the Captain would dodge so that she could have a little fun for once. It was why she told Asami to dodge instead of die.

♪ Have you ever encountered such a beautiful melody? ♪ ═══════════════════════╕
Kyoketsuki had a hallucination that had been so vivid that he felt the need to block an incoming high level hado from above. He quickly formed an ice shield above his head, but by the time he realized it was only a mere illusion of his own mind, Elisia had already struck him in either arm. He could hear his skin sizzling which implied that there was more damage to be done from the attack. Reacting on a whim, he simply tore off his skin and tossed it to the side, while his regenerative abilities kicked in to repair the wounds. “Acid…how annoying,” he said as he watched the discarded pieces of flesh slowly dissolve away to nothing. He heard Elisia speaking once again and simply shrugged in response to her yelling. He didn’t care about her wedding, Kyo or her pointless need for honorifics and last names. He was a being that believe respect had to be earned and not one person he’d met so far deserved it. They only deserved the death he had so swiftly given to them. “You? Send me to hell? C’mon Elisia, are you really capable of killing an ally in cold blood? Remember, if you kill me you kill Kyo as well. I highly doubt you, who earlier offered Kyo access to the Yonbantai’s blood vault, are capable of such a thing.” Kyoketsuki roared with laughter. “As a matter of fact, I bet you intend to merely subjugate me to the point where you can save Kyo.” He continued to laugh and even let himself get entangled in the vines. “Oh my, look at that. Just as I suspected, Elisia. You merely intend to hold me in place momentarily. If you want to beat me, you have to come at me with the intent to kill me!” He laughed again then maxed out his Reiatsu slowly freezing over the vines allowing him to break free.
Though this process took longer than he’d expected it would. The vines kept growing at an alarmingly fast rate, essentially repairing the ice damage at almost the same rate at which he could freeze them. By the time Kyoketsuki was free of the vines Elisa had left the area and Kazuma had finished fighting Tadashi and Suzume. “She evaded me again,” Kyoketsuki sighed as he scratched his head. He watched Tadashi and Suzume from a distance. “Oh? Is that Suzume, Elisia’s cute little sister? The plot thickens once more. I get to kill two pawns and bait out Elisia once again. My, somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming.” A smile came over Kyoketsuki’s face as he minimized his Reiatsu such that he would be nearly invisible among the giant signatures of the battle, then airwalked upside-down until he was above Tadashi. “Useless pawns get to die first.” Kyoketsuki then used the airwalk platform as a springboard allowing him to add his jumping acceleration to the force of gravity. “First Movement: Spear of the Dragoon!” he said as he maximized his Reiatsu. He was intending to drive his hand into Tadashi’s left shoulder near his neck. The strike would break the lieutenant’s collarbone and shoulder blade, and then collapse his lung, upon which Kyoketsuki would leave him to die a slow death, if it didn’t outright spit him in half to begin with.
Kyoketsuki smiled at the thought of killing such a high-ranking shinigami, but there was suddenly a familiar voice in his head. “This has gone on far enough. Get back in your place!” There was no doubt about it. The voice was Kyo. He has somehow managed to break free of the ice. The most probable reason for this was Sebastian’s ability was somehow being interrupted.
“No!” Kyoketsuki screamed as he grabbed either side of his head. He fell to the ground with incredible force, causing it to crack and crater slightly mere inches from Tadashi. Kyoketsuki writhed on the ground as he fought Kyo for control of their body. “No! I won’t let you have control again. You’re not worthy of it. You….don’t….even…understand your…own ********.” Kyoketsuki’s hair and eyes were wildly switching back and forth between their normal color and their color when Kyo was transformed. His Reiatsu was also undergoing the same process, shifting wildly back and forth between its twisted vampiric form and regular. It was also jumping up and down randomly as Kyo fought to regain control.

|933| 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 listened to Ori with a scowl wishing nothing more than to be stronger so he could make the man eat his words. He had fused with Tomomi their Captain Commander before Yuki had temporarily took the position and he deserved to be punished. Of course deep down he had known it was pointless to search and that Yuki's position would likely become permanent yet some part of him hoped. Lee watched Nu get closer gritting his teeth in response and lowering his gaze for a moment before he became very aware of another presence. Why he hadn't noticed it before was beyond him but quite suddenly Yuki was in front of Ori holding Nu off to the side. Hardening his gaze back up as Yuki tossed Nu in the direction of Ciel he then watched Yuki attack Ori. It was quite obvious that Ori was very arrogant even more so than Hei it seemed. Why was it always the unworthy to be given power? Though even if he didn't want to admit it Hei did deserve the power he had even if he misused it at times. Still it was very obvious this Ori did not deserve his power if he was going to use it to conquer. Watching Yuki make her way over to Hei Lee returned his gaze to his own battle. Arian had managed to maneuver his flaming sword into the attack despite the bakudo binding him which spoke of his strength.
"Your annoying as hell you know that?" He refused to give up however and was not going to let up until he literally collapsed from exhaustion if need be. Still something seemed to be obvious about the man that could potentially lead somewhere. He wasn't immune to heat himself it seemed even if his body had an aura of fire around it which could be useful knowledge. Now he just had to think of a way to get him to use his fire again so he could turn it against him. Yuki appearing beside Arian quite suddenly was a welcome aid and gave Lee the breather he needed however he was not needed at Nu's side. "She is fine Yuki-san and I am fine. Please don't count me out yet. I still have a trick or two up my sleeve besides I am not as exhausted as I look I was just trying to lure him into a false sense of security." Well that was an enormous lie as he was very nearing his limit but at the same time he didn't feel that Yuki would call him out on the battlefield. That could prove to be very counterproductive after all. Watching Sebastian attack Yuki out of anger Lee could only roll his eyes. That a lower level Sephira thought he could stand up to Yuki was laughable. As if on cue Yuki responded by simply focusing her reiatsu into her stare to knock him out.
Nu's mental message to him was ignored for the most part because he was angry with her for doing such a foolish thing. That briefly brought his thoughts on Eriko since the woman was nowhere to be seen even in the absence of gillian. Sighing Lee noticed the black cero almost a second too late yet the cero was deflected by Yuki anyway. Nu had given him a mental warning shortly before but the anger at her was still there. She didn't seem him rushing in and doing something incredibly reckless and foolish. Letting out a sigh Lee turned back towards Arian and watched him launch a rock towards Nu and Elisia releasing another sigh. "I am your opponent now Baka. She is already out of the battle so leave it that way." Turning to the rock he quickly formed a thin barrier around it that would just serve as a way to send it back at Arian. Moving the barrier slightly he spun it in the air quickly so that the rock was going towards Arian then released the barrier and let out a deep breath. The rock was now spiralling towards Arian quickly with the fire around it still.
Now he just needed to get him to use a powerful attack and he would stick to defense for the remainder of the battle. Of course at the same time he had to give the appearance of being offensive if just to keep it not suspicious. To extend his time before exhaustion Lee reverted to shikai pointing the now shorter blade in Arian's direction to avoid suspicion. "I only need Shikai for such an unworthy opponent. I will kill you for hurting her!" Letting out a deep breath Lee pointed his finger at the sky then flicked it towards Arian. "Ametsumari." The large surge of water appeared from the sky looking to crash down on top of him and crush him. Lee doubted it would work though he was hoping Arian would think him blinded by rage. All he needed was Arian to use one strong attack for him to turn against him. A gran rey or oscuras cero would be acceptable. Then finally he decided to reply to Nu so she wouldn't worry to much. 'Just relax over there and no matter what don't interfere in the battle. Keep Elisia safe it is her wedding day after all. After I finish the battle with him I shall be there to knock some sense into you since you seemed to have lost it all.' Turning what appeared to be an angry gaze at Arian to keep up pretenses Lee waited.
"Sacrifice through Danger and Pure Love. That is what the Lily of the Valley symbolizes."

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi had already been on high alert. Obviously, since he was staying out of the battle for the time being, he'd taken care to heighten his already well-tuned senses to aid him in reacting at a moment's notice. Thanks to his would-be killer's snarky comment about how useless pawns die first (as well as shouting out the name of his attack), the shadow over Tadashi's head, and the sudden nearby reiatsu signature, Tadashi was able to simultaneously dodge using shunpo and send a warning message to Suzume to get moving. Fortunately, due to all the warning signs Kyoketsuki had graciously provided the Lieutenant, Tadashi didn't even need to push past the Bankai limiter's level to avoid the attack.
Tadashi was about to launch a counter immediately upon grabbing his bearings upon completing his flash-step a bit north of where he'd been. At this time, his shadow also started to move on its own again. Tadashi knew who the Captain assaulting him was, but didn't much care since he was obviously the enemy and had meant to kill or mortally wound him with that last assault. Still, he was pretty much running on autopilot thanks to the 'blank state' his mind used in battle. He did, however, notice the mad frenzy that Kyoketsuki was inexplicably engaged in. The Captain inside the vampire had likely been awakened at the moment their shared body was about to take Tadashi's life (or at least try to).
Tadashi narrowed his eyes and made a split-second decision regarding the Captain/vampire. He initiated a series of shunpo that would take him right to Kyo's left side. Raising Tenma in hand, Tadashi struck out at the Captain's left shoulder with the claw blades and quickly flash-stepped away after about a second upon completing the attack. If he'd managed to get a cut, there should at least have been a bit of blood on Tenma's blades. He intended to use Ketsueki Sakushi only in the event that Kyo was unable to overpower the vampire. He hadn't warned the Captain/vampire of his intentions prior to lashing out just in case the vampire heard it and resisted. Of course, the two seemed pretty busy at the moment so they might not even notice.
He quickly stepped near Suzume's position and readied himself for whatever happened next.

530  xxxxxxxxthe Sun locks the Heavens xxxxxxxxthe Moon eclipses the Night 博士月子
Jūnibantai Fukutaichō "Yeah, sure." Was all she had managed to her wife after she had been kissed and was told 'good luck'. Obviously she was not disinterested in what Elisia had to say or even against her kisses for that matter, but at the moment Tsukiko had her focused narrowed on Neida and how she had managed to use her Segunda Etapa to lessen the blow of her, and nothing else. It was possible she had forgotten to mention this to her since the subject was not exactly something often brought up. However, this was of no concern to Tsukiko as they had been together for a whole year- Elisia would figure it out on her own. "Lieutenant. And no. What will I do there? Watch him be unconcsious?" She corrected him on how he had labeled her as a Captain, then flat out rejected his suggestion, all the while keeping her eyes trained upon the paralyzed Neida.
"If I go over there now, I might just punch him for being so stupid. An utterly useless tactic, really." Suddenly increasing gravity in an area of about 500 feet around Neida, Tsukiko promptly appeared next to her while keeping the heavy gravity active. The ability had exceptionally minimal effects on Tsukiko, a point which she went out of her way to prove to Neida by appearing a certain way that would not have been possible if she had a sudden weight increase. She initially appeared solidly about a foot off the ground with her hands hidden inside her Bankai cloak and trailing behind her due to her movement. She was somewhat doubled over, bent slightly at the waist and face pointing towards the ground. Her right foot was the first to touch ground, followed by her left as her whole body eased into being stationary again and she straightened her body up. Looking to the side, she allowed half her face to be obscured by her cloak as she flashed Neida a deviant's smile. "This gravity... could kill you if you're not careful." She then made it a point to aim her outstretched finger towards Neida's arms.
With this heavy gravity in place, she could not only immobilize the opponent, but also cause significant internal damage by affecting the circulation of the blood. The heart was designed to pump just hard enough that the effect of normal gravity on the blood was bypassed for an instant. When more gravity was added onto an individual who had not experienced prolonged exposure to it, their cardiovascular system would begin to function irregularly, leaving them very uncomfortable and experiencing that deadened feeling over the entire body. Heart failure was entirely possible if exposure passed the one minute mark, but Tsukiko normally let it up before this as thirty seconds was usually long enough to take someone out. Especially given Neida's position, since she couldn't even move out of the area, let alone even know there was an area where she wouldn't be affected. Tsukiko doubted she would have to resort to that extreme, since she was pretty certain that Neida would collapse before that occured, and after that, Tsukiko would remove it and tend to other things. ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ [Too lazy to add it to this post and cannot be arsed to make a Sebastian post, so I'm just going to say it here- Sebastian got knocked out.]

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ "O-oho... I see what this is 'bout. Can't deal with a Zanpakuto spirit, talk 'bout racism." It smirked while starting to walk away slowly. It lazily glanced at a yelling weaker Arrancar, the annoyance this arrancar's voice provided made it want to kill him itself. With a quickly executed Shunpo, Sakuzen Kosshi escaped the attacks that were about to 'hit' Yuki. While it didn't seem like Sakuzen Kosshi wasn't fighting, that was the truth, it was waiting for Tetsu to recover mentally from the shock of the Gran Rey Cero, something Tetsunosuke seemed to be talking his time with. "This is hell..." It spoke in a low tone, Sakuzen had positioned itself moderately away from all of the fights. The calm expression that showed on Tetsu's face was something abnormal during such a time. Sakuzen Kosshi embraced death, so if Tetsunosuke was to die today, Sakuzen Kosshi would as well, and would accept it.
Strong Reiatsu's were everywhere, it had adjusted the Reiatsu in its sword to cover Tetsunosuke's body so a hindrance wouldn't accrue. The woman Tetsu had been fighting previously was now fighting Asami, while Sakuzen wished that Asami would be knocked out by Sakuya, it suspected that if Asami was indeed knocked out, she'd die after such an event took place. A sudden shock went through its body as it noticed Kyoshiro. "Kyo..." The voice of Sakuzen was slowly fading away as the word was spoken. Control had been given back to Tetsunosuke just as he watched Kyo come down on Tadashi, the easily seen Shunpo that was executed by Tadashi was out classed as Tetsunosuke entered Bankai, shunpo'd and switch the scythe to his sword in all in one bound. He caught Tadashi's attack with his own sword via the flat side. The nodachi size sword was gripped in his left hand as the cloak rolled back to revel his zombified skin. "Stand down, Sakamoto! Learn your place... and stay out of Division's matters that don't concern you." He growled in a deep tone. He easily -with the one hand- took and forced Tadashi back with his Bankai enhanced strength. He swiftly turned around and glared at Kyo with disgust, causing the cloak to billow with the movement. "You call yourself a former member of Rokubantai, and you let that... weak thing... get a hold of you AGAIN!" A grinding noise came from his teeth as he took and lifted his right leg and brought it down on Kyo's back to bring him flattened on the ground. "Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end... Bakudō number 75: Gochūtekkan." Tetsu said with a right lifted fist, five yellow orbs of Reiryoku formed out of his now opened hand, he brought the hand down as he took a knee also, the orbs would entered into the ground and shimmer for a brief second before five chained together tall pillars appeared in the sky just above Kyo.
Tetsu moved from so that the pillars would miss him as the fell on Kyoshiro, causing the ground to sink in further and dust to kick up. "Kurihara-kun will have enough nightmares when he gains control." He said softly stepping away from the pentagon shaped pillars; the cloak billowing out in front of him from the force the pillars had landed with. He took enough steps away so he was ready to cast a stronger Binding spell if needed. It would probably be strange having a Captain who was skilled in sword as well as Kido, but Tetsunosuke heeded it no mind, he had chanted the incantation so the spell would be further backed with efficient strength. "That kid'll not be able to face what he's done after he gains control... ya know what'll happen..." Sakuzen Kosshi said with a slight sadness in its voice. A choking feeling came to Tetsunosuke's throat. He felt like crying as he thought about it. The cloak his Bankai provided wouldn't be adjudicate enough for him to cry out here, for now, he resisted with all his might. His hooded head was shadowed by the cloak as one small tear managed to escape and he kept his head down. Only Aurelius would be the only one capable of knowing he was crying, and the child wasn't currently there. "Kyūbantai and Gobantai fukutaicho's." He lifted his head to look toward them, but his face was still veiled. "Go and tend to another fight... if you hadn't noticed, the Arrancar's leader is here. As well as Sotaicho. I am sure Masashi-taicho and Kirisho-taicho have something they need aided with." He spiked his reiatsu as a azure blue hue outlined his figure, "Also... I'm not asking." He spoke calmly as he wanted them to leave. A ominous present filled the air as he kept his sights trailed on them for a few second before looking back at Kyo. The Reiatsu calmed to a hurricane wind then to a gentle breeze.

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant Tadashi was quite shocked when his attack was blocked by a Captain that wasn't currently controlled by an evil vampire spirit. His first instinct was to bring up his crossbow and fire point-blank, but he was already being pushed back as he decided that it wasn't a good idea. The 6th Division Captain had likely seen it fit to battle the rogue Captain alone, and it probably had looked like Tadashi was going for the kill when he'd flash-stepped forward. Still...Tadashi didn't quite understand what could have possibly been meant by "stay out of Division's matters that don't concern you". If the Lieutenant recalled correctly about half a minute back, Kyo was about to kill him. Even if Tadashi had gotten a more severe wound in on the distracted Vampire Captain than he'd intended, he was pretty sure it wouldn't be nearly enough to kill the man.
The Lieutenant had noticed the odd texture of Testunosuke's skin underneath the black cloak that had formed. It was probably the effect of a Bankai transformation (well, actually, it was pretty much certainly the effect of a Bankai transformation). Tadashi had also felt the force behind the push that the 6th's Captain had rudely done to get him away from Kyo, deducing that though his own Bankai was essentially an exponential boost in speed even without breaking the limiter, Tetsunosuke had been able to time his counter just right and had had enough power to stop Sakamoto in mid-shunpo.
Now back to Suzume's side and struggling to keep his sudden spike of anger at the 6th Division Captain's interruption in control, he saw a level 70 Bakudo he himself could easily use being utilized by Tetsunosuke. Tadashi didn't agree with this method taking the place of his own because Ketsueki Sakushi was a more definite way to confuse and pacify the Vampire Captain simply because it would add another series of screeching voices in the body of two (three, if the zanpakuto was counted) and also pretty much make the eyes obsolete in their function. This meant that there would be plenty of openings in the confusion to attack as opposed to the Bakudo's external influence that could be broken by the significantly powerful Kyo.
By the end of his train of thoughts, Tadashi suddenly heard that he was apparently supposed to clear out of the area. The Lieutenant gritted his teeth in frustration and was tempted to disregard orders. However, he forced the impulse back and flash-stepped over to where Hibiki was. At this point, he sent two mental messages - one for Hibiki, and one for Suzume. Both of them basically stated that he intended to fight by Hibiki's side. He told Suzume this as well just so that she didn't add an unecessary number of help against Kirisho-taicho's opponent.(Crap post, but i'm not very much motivated anymore)

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 sighed. While it was nice that Tadashi was staying with her instead of fighting, she still felt as if she was merely inconveniencing everybody again. Here she was, thinking that she had been getting better. Her powers were basically restored now, although, of course, she wouldn’t be able to throw another high-level Kido for some time. Feeling a sudden rise in Reiatsu near her, she whirled around, only to see Kyouketsuki about to attack Tadashi. Be careful!, she hurriedly sent a message, knowing that it was most likely futile since it was up to Tadashi himself to either take the blow or dodge it. He sent one to her too, funnily enough, and if she hadn’t been worrying about him, she might have rolled her eyes at the irony of the situation. If she attacked, she might end up injuring Tadashi instead. Watching carefully as he managed to land safely next to her, she raised an eyebrow at the vampire, confused by his rapid transformations. This wasn’t going to end good. She grasped her zanpakuto, sliding it out of its sheath in a swift movement. Kyo was trying to get control again, but if the vampire won, she might have to fight again.
She didn’t know what tricks Tadashi had up his sleeve, but she had a feeling he was thinking along the same lines as her. Sensing another presence behind her, her grip on her zanpakuto tightened and her eyes searched for the person, before relaxing as she identified him – just barely from his voice and what he was saying. Nodding to him as she understood, she received Tadashi’s message, sending one back to tell him that she understood. After all, they couldn’t keep on fighting together and it would be troublesome if they got injured again. Groaning loudly as she realized that she wouldn’t be able to really assist in any fights, she moved over next to her sister and Nu. That Arian person that her Captain was fighting, seemed to think that aiming towards Nu was a good distraction, and thus, it would be better if she provided some protection. Of course, her sister could do that too, but Eli needed to save energy for healing. Her eyes warily watched the battle, her hand on her zanpakuto, ready to intervene if necessary.

⋆⋆⋆∥ ＨＡＫＡＳＥ xＥＬＩＳＩＡ
☇【 ｙｏｎｂａｎｔａｉxＴＡＩＣＨＯ 】 Elisia carefully supported Nu, making sure that the girl’s weight was evenly distributed. If she had a chance, she’d have to ask Tsukiko or Hei about the regenerative serum, since it would be the only thing that would be able to restore Nu’s arm. She sighed, thinking of all the problems that had come up. Unfortunately, it seemed as if the Shinigami fighting were getting tired and if these Arrancar fought the way they had been, they’d be in serious trouble. There were quite a number of them fighting, but, to tell the truth, she felt as if she was missing somebody. Frowning as she searched through the faces, she pinpointed the person quickly – Eriko. Perhaps the girl had left for something? She had only caught a glimpse of the girl at her wedding and she had been meaning to, if this battle had not happened, talk to Eriko anyway. Stopping next to Ciel, she nodded at him, attempting to smile as best as she could for the moment. Somehow, she didn’t feel happy or joyful at all, and it was as if all her hopes had been dashed. Then again, that was most likely the side-effect of her wedding being ruined.
As Nu told her to go and do other things, Elisia rolled her eyes. Typical. While some people often considered Nu to be rather strict and stern, since she was the Captain of an assassination squad, Elisia knew another side of Nu – the one that thought of others. Being careful not to injure the other girl anymore, Elisia gently hugged Nu, saying, “Don’t worry about it, Nu-chan, everything’s fine. I don’t think I have any other healings to do for the meantime and I might as well stay here.” She patted her friend’s head as she pulled away, her eyes wide and alert. For now, protecting Nu seemed to be a relatively good task, at least, until she had to go and heal. Catching sight of the massive earth piece that was headed towards them, she was about to block it, when a thin barrier sprung up and diverted the attack back to Arian. “Coward,” she muttered under her breath as she glanced at Arian. It seemed like Lee was getting tired, from fighting all by himself, but if she interfered, would he dislike it? About to say to Nu that she was going to help Lee, her sister abruptly appeared from nowhere, apparently to help Lee if necessary. Relaxing herself, Elisia nodded to ‘Zume, knowing that the best thing she could do for now, would be to stay out of the battle. ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬

Hod Sephira
================================================ Arian Aes ================================================ Burn the living
Cremate the deadHearing Lee speak to him, Arian noticed that the Captain had effortlessly redirected his attack straight back towards him, adding torque to the fire-encased earthen slab as it spiraled towards him. Charging a Cero with his free hand, Arian blasted the massive projectile with a dark crimson beam, causing the Burst Shell to explode in mid-air, covering the area where it had exploded with flames, however, Arian knew it wouldn’t be enough to stop it outright, as the chunk of earth inside it was still present. However, this was no real threat to him, even in his damaged state, as he was able to easily bat catch with his bare hands, clenching the rock firmly.
Lee’s words resonated inside his head, though ‘Baka’ was a word he didn’t know the meaning of, however his statement caused Arian to double-check himself. He was fighting both of them, not only one of them, that was his own self-imposed charge, however, it would be wise to take on only one of them, before moving on to the next. Noticing the sudden decrease in Lee’s reiatsu output, which was caused by him reverting back to Shikai, Arian wondered just what the Captain had in mind. He frankly didn’t believe him, as he was able to blast through some of their Bankai abilities using his power, to claim that he only needed Shikai was a blatant lie to him.
However, he suddenly recalled how Nanashi was able to dispose of Sakuya’s knights using only his Shikai, and Arian was forced to wonder just how much information they knew about the Shinigami and their zanpakutos. Taking note of Lee’s offensive initiative, Arian dragged the slab of earth in front of him and tossed it towards the mass of water that was hurdling down towards him. Following it up, he once again blasted it with two dark crimson Ceros. If all went as planned the first Cero would add force to the massive projectile, before causing it to explode in flames, this, coupled with the rock inside, would more or less nullify Lee’s attack. This would allow the second Cero to go thought whatever debris was left and blast through towards Lee, who Arian hoped would be caught off guard by the explosion.Follow your path
Forsake everything else

The trash washes up to shore ▼ even in this landlocked place ▼ The s**t gets thicker ▼ Its toxic
671
Get it out of my face
Ori's face fell in disappointment as he watched Yuki halt his assault upon her subordinates. Ori lifted his hand to his mouth, the cool metal tingling his senses there, and sighed into it, rolling his eyes lethargically as he did so. "Shinigami and their chivalry gets old quickly. Quite old." Ori's words ended around the time Yuki had begun to speak, in which case Ori stared forward. He had his Anchetă active and keeping tabs on everything that moved and had a Reiatsu signature. When Ori felt Yuki's power spike quickly, his eyes shot to her, but saw nothing. His instinct kicked in and he pushed backwards with his left foot. Yuki would appear to the right of him just as he began to move backwards. One strange thing was that, as he moved, Ori began to lean forward, pushing out his left hand towards the ground, even though he was in the air. He formed a Reishi plate under his hand to grasp, before he abruptly stopped and was yanked forward by where he grabbed, fling him up and forward. He found that Yuki's position was akin to something he had within his lab's database and sought to take at least some precautionary measures, even if there was one downside. His body escaped the invisible streamline cut that Yuki used, but his left arm was cleaved in two at the elbow just as his feet were up in the air. His face held no emotion while he seemly floated within the air, as if his arm hadn't even left his body.
Before his dismemberment, Ori was taking in the situation, seeing as how Yuki had used the oldest trick in the book. With her power and knowhow behind the eyes that she so humbly shot a look with, leaving herself that open would be a fatal mistake, putting Ori, him thinking that Yuki was simply playing with him. In his mind, Ori was to be the one playing with her. It irritated him, but he kept it internal, they would all soon realize their difference in power. Moreover than that, Aurelius's words as he moved backwards proved to be quite the irritating sound as well. It seemed that the b*****d was even cockier up close, which only served to lower Ori's opinion of him; Ori had the problem of being hypocritical and or ignorant upon things pertaining to both himself and another, this time it being his personality. And so, while Ori floated in time for a second or two within his mind, his right arm flung down, grasped the air, and turned his anterior side towards Yuki and the now vanishing Aurelius, his tongue pointed out with a small black orb at the tip, a halo of silver light around it. As he moved around, he consecutively shot out many of his black color Cero towards Yuki and the general area behind her. The total may have counted around 10 to 14 shots.
Upon discharging the Cero, his body would flicker from sight. Ori would come to solidification to the right of Nu, his left and bloodied and dismembered arm slung around her shoulder, seeping onto her and his mouth close to her ear. In an evil and hoarse whisper, Ori spoke, "Oh look, we match. And if it makes you feel any better about your cataclysmic loss, I saved your precious Tomomi from being devoured by Hollow. I believe I committed a favor, not a horrendous act." With that comment, quick and sharp, he was gone again, in front of Nu, his bloodied nub aimed at her, his distance around 8 feet in front of her. "Zero." Just an inch from his nub his black Cero formed and release quickly, aiming to get a point blank at her to keep her down, and to spite her after insulting her twice: Once by comparison and once by a spiteful insult. After releasing this, he appeared away from the group at large and was staring them down with eyes of boredom, though he was entertained internally. He would spare them the pleasure of ever knowing this. His Hierro was currently now completely active, most attacks not augmented to slice through things with ease would have a hard time getting through his own concentrated Reiryoku armor. Stalling to keep them from knowing my power is getting boring. I could kill them so easily with them. Soon perhaps....Soon...
My name is Ori Shikoku De Nō ▲ one you will not understand ▲ I am one you will fear ▲ and one who will break your will Be awed by my power: For I shall never be weak.

646  xxxxxxxxClimb the mountains and get their good tidings. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxNature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. Hakase Yuki
博士雪
Ichibantai Taichō
Feeling his irritation in her mind, Yuki smirked as he moved to counter her after taking most of her attack. It bode well for her that such a simple attack from her was capable of doing such a thing. As Ori opened his mouth to fire a volley of Cero from the tip of his tongue, Yuki immediately switched to the defensive and moved her Rieryoku around her hands as she quickly backhanded nearly all of the Cero out of mid-air with little to no effort with high-speed movements. Only two got past her, but this was simply because Ori had been point blank, and was in no way a downplaying of her speed and aim. As she finished up with this task she noticed that Ori had moved away from her and towards Nu. This was getting increasingly annoying. This guy just couldn't stay with one opponent, but in the back of her mind she knew that it was because he knew that she couldn't fight him seriously and defend her subordinates at the same time.
Lee was busy with Arian, leaving Nu wide open for attack, leaving Yuki with little other options that to protect her herself. Waving her left hand, she erected an Enkosen a foot from Ori's arm, allowing the Cero to collide with it as Ori moved away, both objects cancelling each other out. Lifting her hand, a swirl of black Reiryoku erupted in her hand as she wordlessly cast Kurohitsugi on Ori from this distance before shutting her eyes as her Kidō took effect. Quickly, she spread her body reading ability to encompass the entirety of the Seireitei as she used to gauge the status of her subordinates. Most seemed fine, but some others were not as fine. Letting out a low growl, she retracted her ability slowly, doing one last sweep until her ability's radius collapsed onto her, which it quickly detected an abnormality in her own body, one she had not been expecting to feel ever again.
At first she didn't want to believe it. At first she thought it couldn't possibly be the truth. She wanted to whole heartedly deny what she felt right when her ability hit her, and wanted to believe the ability was experiencing a glitch like it had done when Hei had died. Instantly her hand went to just below her navel, and she refocused the ability and concentrated it on her womb. The realization of the situation at hand only made her break into a cold sweat, her heart beat faster, blood run cold and her eyes widen in surprise, creating a genuine look of fear on her face. She had been this stupid to not notice it yesterday as the night before had been spent with Hei, alone. She was pregnant. "Damn." This certainly put a damper on things as there was no way she was going to engage in this fight any longer, not when she was carrying a child inside her. If she fought, the child would die. But it was certainly a dilemma, because if she didn't fight, the war would be lost. Biting her lower lip, she worriedly looked from side to side until her eyes fell on Hei. No, all was not lost, if she could wake him up, he could fight Ori, and win. With a slight amount of fear lacing her words, she shouted to Tsukiko and Hibiki as she appeared to Hei's side and knelt down next to him. "Tsukiko-fukutaichō, take care of this guy! Hibiki-taichō, take Tsukiko's place against that arrancar! Dammit Hei! Wake up you stupid b*****d! How dare you sleep at such a crucial time?!" Pounding her fist into her brother's chest, she was on the verge of tears as she attempted to wake him up. If was unsuccessful, retreat would not only be an option, but the only one. The winds will blow their own freshness into you,xxxxxxxx
And the storms their energy,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
While cares will drop off like autumn leaves.xxxxxxxxxx [Whatever negative thing you might have to say, don't. This is part of the story and is also paving the way for future arcs.]
