Welcome to Gaia! ::

'A telepath?' Hibiki asked himself, he hadn't encountered that word in quite a while and it took him a few seconds to remember its definition. If he was correct, it meant that it was someone who possessed the ability to read mind's and other similar abilities. As Captain Nu continued with her narration of what she knew of Aurelius, Hibiki tensed even more at the thought of what a weak-looking child such as Aurelius was capable of. 'Mind-reading capabilities, the ability to project barriers around himself and telekinetic abilities.' the more Hibiki thought of his abilities, the more tensed he became.

Nu continued, telling Hibiki Aurelius' objective in the Human World. He was grateful for the information, but was perplexed as to how Nu had came to possess it, then again the 2nd Division was higher up in Seiretei's hierarchy than the 9th Divison, this fact bothered Hibiki for a bit but he dismissed it to focus on the situation. "Balancers?" he finally spoke out, intrigued by Nu's classification of Aurelius. What exactly was he balancing out? Weren't the roles of spiritual balancers given to the Shinigami? How was erasing hundreds of human souls going to balance anything out? A myriad of questions and thoughts flooded Hibiki's mind, but he shut them out, he'd soon have his answer anyway. He lowered his zanpakuto for a bit, but still gripped it in his hand "Tadashi, you heard Captain Nu, lower your sword a bit. Bring it back up if and when this, Aurelius, shows hostility." after instructing his 3rd Seat, Hibiki listened to Nu and Aurelius' conversation closely. He took notice of Lucid's actions, but decided against simply sitting back and watching. He was tasked to patrol the Human World, if anything went wrong here, it'd be his neck that would be on the line.

Tetsunosuke Harasawa

First Division's Lieutenant

◥

Tetsunosuke stood in front of the Soul Society's Senkaimon. A jigokuchō (Hell Butterfly) had just came and rested on his shoulder, informing him that more human souls had just vanished... the entire city population had just plummeted. With out saying a word, he unsheathed Sakuzen Kosshi and it immediately went into it's Shikai. He held the putrid smell back, wanting to make a surprise attack on the suspected Crumb-crusher... or so he was thinking that's who it was. The gates opened finally as the jigokuchō took off in front of him, Tetsunosuke followed patiently behind it. He started calling off a round of incantations. It seemed like he was rattling on with nonsense...

Finally, the gates to the Human World opened, which Tetsunosuke took off with a quick run and jump out the gates - the gates had just opened when Tetsu leaped from inside of them-, he had suspected that his best chances would be to go high above the city, which he was right on. "Bakudō number sixty-three: Sajō Sabaku-" His left hand was stretched out as chains shot out all from Reiryoku around him and made their way toward Aurelius; wrapping tightly around him (or the barrier...). "Hadō number eighty-eight: Hiryūgeki Zoku Shinten Raihō!!!" He shouted loudly as he used more of his Reiryoku to send the gigantic electrical blast of Reiryoku that formed into a dragon and pounded against the boy; the blast of Reiryoku then had a ginormous explosion. He landed on his feet with an Air Walk and pulled Sakuzen Kosshi in it all scythe glory in front of him, he then fired several volleys of three foot long spear shaped bones at the boy where he was last seen. The disappeared into the smoke that was left behind from his Hadō.

Beads of sweat had formed over his brows as he panted softly; his shoulders raising and lowering as he did so. His eyes narrowed as he closed his mouth and breathed through his nostrils for a moment. "Crumb-Crusher, AKA Aurelius the Infinite, 3rd in Command of the Exaequare army, and a twerp at that." Tetsunosuke shouted loudly for all the shinigami in the vicinity to hear him. He had remembered what he had stated who and what he was. The jigokuchō fluttered around his head finally as it did this for a few moment. It finally went back into the Senkaimon, which abruptly closed behind it.

Turning her head a few degrees, she was surprised to finds the Soutaicho, ey that didn't stop her from punching him softly in the arm. "Now you show up?" Glancing up, a surprising lack of sunlight proved there was something big above and her suspicions proved it in the form of a building shooting from above. "Aurelius is deleting humans from existence, just as he said he would, there also appears to be a building heading straight for us. Eriko, get down!"

With two hands, she begins to chant different Bakudō. "#37: Tsuriboshi...." With a free hand, she calls forth the star shaped cushion made from spiritual energy to come forth, to slow down the falling building at least a little. "Bakudō #81: Danku." With her other hand she brings the long barrier sprouting from the ground, on an angle, to take the hit of the slowed building. The barrier cracked and splintered, but the speed at which the building was moving was considerably slowed by her previous Kido, allowing the wall to take the impact and prevent further destruction, Nu staggering as the concentration it took to cast such spells hit her. Being the former lieutenant of Division five had its moments of usefulness, like the practices of high level Kido. Regaining her footing, she could only put up a smirk, a façade for her to hide her low amounts of energy. "He better try something new, I don't have all day for this crap…."

Without so much as batting an eye, Aurelius projected a quite large, red-tinged, spherical barrier around Tetsunosuke as he began his attack. The barrier was a rejecting kind, and it took the opponent's attack and rebounded upon them with added force. As his Kido came flying, it would strike the edge of the barrier, which was mere inches away from Aurelius' transportation barrier, and be absorbed into the barrier itself,. creating a ripple effect along it's surface. A few quiet seconds passed as the chains surrounding Aurelius' transportation barrier were broken apart by sheer force of mental will and broken down to their most basic elements, which was pure Reiryoku. Aurelius turned his gaze onto Tetsunosuke as the barrier began to shrink in size, though still keeping Tetsunosuke within. Once it was significantly smaller, the Kido suddenly re-emerged from the barrier, larger and more powerful than before and cast itself back onto Tetsunosuke himself. "I do believe I told you not to bother, impudent weakling. Getting weaker, Nu?" Aurelius looked towards Tomomi as he arrived, simultaneously taking the pillars that had been stopped or broken and breaking them in smaller pieces with his mind. He had created several hundred cinder-block-sized pieces of stone and arranged them neatly around the perimeter of the shinigami. "You have twenty minutes to kill me or I will erase the proper amount of humans from this planet. Six million humans, Shinigami. Six million. Quite a gracious offer, I think, as nothing is stopping me from leaving right now." He erected the same barrier around the Shinigami, the red-tinged rebound barrier and began flinging the stone slabs into the barrier. The barrier would then absorb the rocks, rippling each time and once they were all in, they began to emerge on the inside of the barrier, significantly larger than before. They shot at the unsuspecting Shinigami from all directions, just as the ground beneath them would deteriorate and give way.

Groaning at this new predicament, she unsheathes her sword, cleaving each stone that comes her way in two. As long as they didn't touch the barrier, she surmised, this would be simple enough; she just had to figure out a way to hit the boy from inside the barrier, not to difficult. When the floor began to give out, she simply air walked, staying in place, as she continued to slash. "Keep talking Bozu, I'll make you burn soon enough..." She couldn't use her shikai, that would only deplete the oxygen that they needed, and her bankai wouldn't be much of a help at this situation. What she needed was someone with the ability to strike from a distance, outside of the accursed dome barrier, otherwise, she would only watch as this boy will kill six million humans, and it was her duty to stop such a tragedy.

"Tomomi.." She called as she kicks a rock aside. "Any ideas?"
