__[431]__⌠ H i d e k i < ⌂ 朱 出 来 […] 得 血 ろ ⌂ > U c h i r o ⌡ ▬▬▐ J ŭsanB a ntai Taichō  Feeling: R e a d y "Truth is simply a conception..."
Hideki's brow furrowed as he felt his pocket become somewhat lighter. He felt around in it and felt one lollipop missing. He took a slow blink, only to see that Yuki now had a lollipop in her mouth. When she could have done that was completely beyond him, but he could not be mad at someone if they took from under his nose with out him noticing at all. Hideki simply laughed softly both at himself and at the fact that Yuki wanted a lollipop. He let his arms fall back into their normal positions after the 'excitement' ended.
Hideki's attention kept falling on the two young women who were quite infatuated with each other. Tsukiko and Elisia were becoming more and more public with their relationship. It was not a bad thing to Hideki at all, and he welcomed it. Perhaps now, Elisia would not get so flustered at the topic. Hideki's main goal was so that Elisia would not get flustered, it was the whole reason he teased her. He welcomed the sight, but it brought back memories he would rather forget than to bring up. So, Hideki shook his head and found that Caelum was now on his way down to them. He lifted an eyebrow at the sight.
Sue him for being 'racist', but for someone he expected to look completely old and dusty, Caelum was an odd change. Hideki expected a beard and someone who had to hold themselves up with a cane that was not really needed and was simply a weapon that was used in dire cases. The Caelum that his eyes saw now was actually quite young. He certainly was proper, or at least formal, albeit he was wearing leather. Hideki slowly moved his hand back to his Tsuka, and though Yuki threw her hand up for them to hold, Hideki kept going until his palm was on it. He felt safer that way, though he would end up spamming kido from a distance before ever approaching.
Hideki listened to her talk and his response. They were definitely set in their ways and he knew that Yuki knew it. She was asking out of politeness for the idea. However, Hideki wanted to hear Tsukiko's question, whenever it would come up. She brought them here, or at least he knew that. Perhaps most everyone else here thought that Yuki brought them here on business, on an attempt to attack their stronghold, but Hideki knew Tsukiko was behind it. He waited in a slight bitter silence between the two as to what to do now.
"...Where nothing is in stone."

523  xxxxxxxxthe Sun locks the Heavens xxxxxxxxthe Moon eclipses the Night 博士月子
Jūnibantai Taichō Tsukiko's gaze fell on Caelum as he showed up and if she had had a heart, it would be thumping in her chest at this very moment. It wasn't because she was scared, but because she was incredibly on edge. Here he was; the only one who could bring Hei back to life and she couldn't even ask him yet. For now, she'd just have to play along with the idea of trying to kill Caelum should Yuki's negotiations fall through. Upon hearing Caelum's response to Yuki, Tsukiko had a nagging feeling in the back of her mind that she should have asked Aurelius exactly how to beat this guy or how to at the very least play to his interests. The problem had been that she was so caught up on finding out if Hei could be brought back that she hadn't even considered how to kick his a**. "s**t." She swore in regards to her lack of planning, which could have easily been taken as a curse on Caelum for not agreeing.
Now regretting that situation, Tsukiko drew Jūshin openly, not bothering to hide her movements as she was sure that he could tell any way. Wordlessly she entered Shikai, which was evident by the change in her clothes. Upon release of her Bankai, thick yellow-green lines drew themselves up her lower back, spanning up the stretch of back and over her shoulders where they passed her collar bone, narrowing upon arriving here. They terminated once they reached the tip of her cheeks, changing into a closed circle with a ring around the outside. Her Shihakushō altered in appearance as well; her kosode became a black halter top while a matching pair of brocade pants replaced her hakama. To replace her Haori, and really only for looks was a long coat that fell to the ground, sporting a mandarin collar and long sleeves that fell past her hands. After this, a hooded cloak appeared over these clothes, covering the top half of her face, yet doing nothing to hinder her vision.
"Jiniteki Jūryoku." Raising her right hand as a closed fist, she flicked her fingers out and designated the ruins under Caelum's feet, and gave them their own gravitational pull, and a rather strong one at that such that it would force Caelum to remain rooted to those ruins, regardless of whether he broke them apart or not. After doing so, she lifted both hands which were hidden inside her sleeves and causeda sphere of compressed gravity, 25 feet in diameter to appear just above the Exaequare leader. Black, non-uniform lines circled the sphere like latitudinal lines that are sporadically placed across the face of the sphere. The force behind the sphere itself is staggering and enough to debilitate even the most muscle-bound, sturdy individuals. Tsukiko didn't wholly expect this to drop him, in fact she didn't have much faith in her gravity being very effective against him, but she still needed to see how he reacted to attacks. With a flick of her hidden right hand, she dropped the sphere on his head a mere second after it materialized. ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ Tetsunosuke made sure not to be to close to Elisia when she sat beside him. His expressive with a small smile and an up lifted face. Despite all that had transpired, he was in a fairly decent mood. He looked at her when she was looking at him, he followed her eyes unto the fortunes as she read them aloud to him and anyone else who was listening. "I prefer the last one the most. You just have to be able to decipher them... not to difficult." He smiled while staring at her. He tightened the lid on his flask, then stored it away in his shitagi from where it came.
Tetsunosuke felt the urge to stand and turn to a certain direction to see what caused the sudden feeling he felt. His brows furrowed as he saw the Exaequare leader in his full attire. He was actually fashionable, to an extent. Tetsunosuke couldn't lie, he was sort of impressed by his attire and how he moved. Though, now wasn't a time to gawk nor be defenseless. He took and set his left hand on the place where Sakuzen Kosshi hilt met saya. A smirk entered his lips as the man flicked he wrist. This Caelum, seemed cockier then Hei; Tetsunosuke tried to keep his calm, but his heart was pounding in his throat and ears. When Caelum pulled his glasses back onto his face, and opened his eyes right before the set on his nose, Tetsunosuke saw what he was odd to him: blindness... maybe he was wrong. But he had seen people with blind eyes many times. His eyes narrowed at the thought, but he didn't let it plague him. Caelum shifted his hands to his side and denied Yuki's request, his heart sank, he knew that he would now have to fight, which he would mentally prepare for in the next milliseconds. 'Does he have powers like Aurelius or Dolor, perhaps even both? I don't know what he is capable of... should I go straight into Bankai to try and harm him?! Dang it... I'm thinking to much at once.' A bead of sweat trickled down his chin and feel off it onto the ground. As soon as it struck the rock surface, Tetsu had decided what he was going to do. Right about the time he decided to move his foot and unsheathe his Zanpakuto, Tsukiko had started her assault. He clenched his teeth at her power to control gravity. He started off by saying an incantation to release the Kidō he was about to use at a stronger level, "Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku!" As the names of the spell escaped his mouth, the white chains billowed out from around him and shackled themselves to Caelum about shoulder high all the way down to his waist, locking his arms to his side. He wasn't the greatest at Kidō, but he could still throw out a spell or two that were stable and strong. After the spell, Tetsunosuke would hold off on releasing Sakuzen Kosshi and just hold the sword in both hands out in front of him. He would protect Elisia if Caelum tried going after her, after all, she was their healer (aside from Yuki).

≎Akiri Minami≎
≎Sanbantai Taichō≎ 
After gripping the forearm of his fuku-taicho Akiri gave the older male a glance and a very rare smirk. He liked the man though for now Akiris mind was on far greater thoughts. He had only just arrived at the top of the hill and was now already departing after listening to the Captain-Commanders speech. Looking around it seemed not everyone cared for what she had to say and when the Zan spirit of another began to talk Akiris own inner partner muttered. "Will someone please shut the pigeon up. Damn bird" Needless to say no one but Akiri heard the annoyed complaints of the flaming knight though his face did not even hint that he himself took any notice. Now that it was time to leave Akiri moved to the desired location and watched as each captain began to phase from view, leaving for a world unknown.
It took only a second to arrive and when he finally appeared Akiri slowly opened his crimson eyes, a slight glowing ting eminating from the flaming hues as he took in his surroundings. It seemed he had reappeared a small bit away from the rest of the group though he was still within ear shot to hear the conversations of the others and the final arrival of the leader himself. It was obvious who the man was due to the way he carried himself and the general feeling that emanated from his body. Moving from behind the stones that concealed his entry into this crumpled old city Akiris eyes finally fell upon the man giving off this feeling of unease. Not moments ago he had felt Yuki's power rise sharply and drop just as quick. Seemed no one was taking any chances and the boy captain was not about to do so either.
Moving over to the others he took his stance with folded arms beside the new Jusanbantai Taichō who he only knew by name. Hideki Uchiro. He had never talked to the former Fuku-Taicho and he was not even sure the man knew who Akiri was. Like them he was new to the captains rank but Akiri was given the rank before them. Not that a few weeks made a whole lot of difference when it came to experience with such a high rank. Standing beside the taller man Akiri was far smaller then the 6'7'' giant reaching only 5'5'' himself. He said nothing to Hideki as his eyes were fixed on Caelum only to be torn away when Tsukiko-Taichō made the first move. Perhaps an act to test the proverbial waters as it were but it put Akiri on high alert if he was not already that is. He made no move to draw his blade though his muscles were relaxed and his body calm so he could react in a moments notice should the situation demand it.
"Don't worry...........you wont be screaming for long"

402  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
Unable to respond to his sudden hand movement with the reaction he had desired, Yuki clenched her teeth at the mention of her longings. She hadn't realized that she was letting on such things, though she was hardly her deceased brother and wasn't well versed in shutting herself off. Shutting her eyes and rubbing the bridge of her nose, Yuki let out a frustrated sigh at what she could only describe as stubbornness. Maybe that statement of his would have been less frustrating had Caelum been someone who knew the Gotei intimately, because at least then he could say without a doubt there was nothing they could do to fix this situation.
However, he didn't even know her name, so it was painfully obvious he had no idea of what each individual was capable of and therefore should not be speaking as though he did. She did not reveal her name, but it would remain unknown as to whether it was out of spite or that she just forgot. "So be it." As she lowered her hand from her face and opened up her eyes to witness Tsukiko draw her own Zanpakutō, the little fox jumped into it and changed into her Zanpakutō. Releasing alongside Tsukiko, Yuki's katana melted down into her Shikai's tanto which was still sitting inside it's black saya, causing her Reiatsu to spike as it had earlier, before capping off and concentrating itself on only Caelum.
"I had really hoped to avoid senseless fighting, such a shame. As for why I am here, it has little to do with who I may miss, but rather the humans you intend to erase." Taking note that Tsukiko had used her abilities to pin Caelum to the ruins, that Tetsunosuke had used Sajō Sabaku to tie him up, and that Tsukiko was about to drop a Dai Henkyu on him, she lifted her tanto and slid her left foot back, bending forward on her right, keeping her elbow bent before stabbing it towards him like a fencing maneuver. "Go no Tachi: Takanami." The stab generated a burst of air that let out the sound of a gun firing as the air projectile, which was roughly the size of an apple, shot towards Caleum, reaching him in seconds. She had aimed it at his forehead, the weakest side-effect being whiplash if it hit as it was capable of punching through a wall. 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

 ◄【 Caelum Terminus 】► When discussion fails...
Caelum's eyes widened at the sudden outburst movement from Tsukiko. No other outwardly response could be seen, and even then, his eyes were hidden behind glasses. He felt himself begin to get pulled downwards to the spot around him. Caelum nodded down to the left as he acknowledged its effectiveness, as he simultaneously softly went to move his right foot, to no avail. With his head titled Caelum smirked and looked up to see the large, if not huge, orb above him. He straightened in his posture and looked forward, a large piece of the ruins suddenly becoming dislodged and lifting up behind him. He used Speculum Dei to copy the power that was used to anchor him, and used the large piece of ruin to do so. He made the attraction to him far greater than the one below him, pulling him towards it.
Caelum's head lifted to look upon the large orb that was headed downwards and lifted his hands from behind him. He held one above his shoulders and out to the right, and one at chest level to the left. He, again, used Speculum Dei to copy this move, forming a copy of the orb. Caelum formed his in line with Tsukiko's, sending it forward to ram into hers. Just as he went to return to his composed look, by crossing his arms, Tetsunosuke's Bakudo laced around his body and constricted his arms to his chest. Just as this occurred, he saw Yuki jump to action. She fired an odd type of projectile, made of air, but still massive for something so quick. Caelum quickly formed another large orb to block the incoming blast of air, even if it was small, and sent the orb forwards towards the Shinigami. Just after sending it out, he used his Spiritus to break free from the Bakudo, something he copied as a back-up. "Dear me, I did not expect for such a large attack upon me for denying your request. A play to be Robin Hood. That is what I see here. Protect those who cannot protect themselves. I am afraid what I am doing for them is something that must be done. An imbalance is intolerable and cannot be over looked."
Caelum lifted his arms up and took a breath in, not a deep one, simply a breath. Just after moving, Caelum threw out his right hand and uttered "Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku." Chains would fling up to wrap around both of the captains, up to their shoulders. Caelum did not expect much from it, as it did not last long on him, but it would buy him some time. He slid back to a standing position and looked towards the group of Shinigami, adjusting his glasses. "You see, I have watched the various races, and the best I can compare my situation to, is to a raid of Hollow. Say Hollow of a incredible number were to attack the Realm of the Living. You would have to respond by duty. I am responding to the amount of humans with my duty. It is not something I can ignore in the least." Caelum ended his statement by moving his left hand behind him, bent at the elbow and laid across his lower back, and moving his right hand in front of him, flat and palm towards his face.
A swift end to you shall be given.

|647| Masashi, Lee, Gobantai Taicho"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 didn't reply to Tetsunosuke's question though silently he thought Gobantai-Taicho was slightly less formal as to him it sounded almost as if the man didn't bother to learn names of his superiors. Was it true? Likely not but Lee preferred to be referred to by name anyway. At the mention of teaching him higher kido Lee again didn't reply right away though after a few minutes he said quietly. "Get in line." Ignoring what conversations were being held Lee was quite suddenly aware of Yuki's tremendous spiritual pressure pushing down on him. The pressure was causing him to visibly sweat for a few seconds before it lessened evening out then becoming almost nonexistent. 'Wow that was amazing. I was farther away during the funeral so I didn't feel the full effects of it. Now however I seen how monstrous her spiritual pressure truly is.' Opening his eyes Lee gazed down at Yuki keeping his expression unreadable before returning his gaze to the sky and closing his eyes again.
More senseless talking filled his ears before a new presence approached followed by a new voice welcoming them obviously being who they had waited on. Letting out a few deep breathes Lee got to his feet and brushed himself off holding his arms down to his side as he waited for the order to begin attacking leaving his eyes closed for the moment and not facing Caelum. After a small exchange between Yuki and Caelum it became apparent quite quickly that there was going to be no budging on the part of Caelum. That meant they would have to fight the man which shortly thereafter Tsukiko started the battle officially. Attacking Caelum with her zanpakuto's abilities coupled with the added attacks from Tetsunosuke and Yuki it seemed as if the battle could be over.
Unlikely however given the man's status so therefore Lee held off on adding an attack in to see his reaction. It became apparent immediately that the man definitely had something up his sleeve when all of a sudden he was able to move and created an orb like Tsukiko's sending it to cancel out her orb. Then came the copy of the bakudo used against him making it quite obvious he could somehow copy moves. How many could he copy though? Was it even limited or simply unlimited? That was something Lee was more than willing to try out as he unsheathed his zanpakuto. "Sobieru Namihime. Mizumi. Bankai." First his zanpakuto went into shikai then the blade turned into water before finally he was engulfed in a small orb of water before it fell away revealing his bankai with the blade still being water. "Himi." With the word the blade instantly froze over and Lee let it fall by his side again as he prepared to enter the battle.
Then using the fastest shunpo he could manage Lee disappeared making sure to leave an after image behind to hopefully hide his attack as he appeared behind Caelum and instantly used senka to send two stabs to the areas senka targeted before kicking off the ground away from Caelum and pointing the kissaki of his zanpakuto at the area where the heart is located breathing one final word. "Kawatama." A small pressurised surge of water shot from the kissaki towards it's intended target rather quickly. Continuing to move back Lee stopped once he was at a reasonable distance away. Sparing a glance in the direction of the others Lee's eyes quickly moved back to Caelum while waiting for some type of reaction. "I find your unwillingness to compromise to be slightly foolish. It may be your duty to do this yet doing so is not something that can be allowed. Humans have little to do with this." Why Caelum couldn't simply find some way to build the hollow population back up was beyond him.
"Sacrifice through Danger and Pure Love. That is what the Lily of the Valley symbolizes."

⋆⋆⋆∥ＥＬＩＳＩＡ xＲＩＹＵ
☇【ｓｑｕａｄxｆｏｕｒxＣＡＰＴＡＩＮ】 Elisia crossed her legs, thinking about what Tetsunosuke had said. She was right now, attempting to divert her mind away from the frightening Exaequare and onto different thoughts. If she did not do this, there was a chance that she might leap out and try to strangle or kill Caelum for his words. This guy was one of the worst people-- No. She was not going to go down that path and let her anger take care of her. What had Tetsunosuke said about the fortunes she had gotten. Something about the last one was the best? Huh. A flicker of movement and colour caught her eye and she turned to see the fact that Tsukiko had released her Bankai. It seemed like it was basically inevitable that a fight was going to happen. While Tsukiko and Tetsunosuke had already attacked, she did not want to do anything for the moment, at least, until Yuki gave some indication that they were meant to fight. Anyway, it would be best if she stayed in the background for the meantime as she was a healer.
Yuki had already attacked him, so there was a plain signal for all the Captains there to get ready and launch attacks of their own. “Time to go, I guess…” she mumbled quietly to herself as she watched the attacks rain upon Caelum. It seemed like their attacks were futile for some reason. Her eyes opened wide as she saw that he had firstly managed to produce a similar orb of Tsukiko’s Bankai and then afterwards, he had used a Kido spell. There was something not completely right about this. Of course. He must have some sort of ability to copy moves or something like that. This was going to be nasty and a hard enemy to take down. Her eyes narrowed on Caelum but her gaze briefly flickered to Tsukiko out of concern. Hopefully, Tsukiko would be alright soon enough, huh? Anyway, she’d most likely end up distracting or getting in Tsukiko’s way.
They’d have to work together on this one, it seemed – all the fighting Captains at once. She would not move for now, but merely keep her strength up for the injured. Tapping Tetsunosuke on the shoulder, she leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Go to the others, you’ll have to collaborate for this enemy, I think. I’ll stay back for the meantime and if there’s any injured, I’ll make sure that they are healed and protected. Go, you need to help…Quickly, before he attacks again.” ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬

551 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
Watching both Tsukiko's and Tetsunosuke's moves get replicated and used against them, Yuki came to the conclusion that he was copier of sorts. Seemingly handy, but probably not without weakness. She had noticed he did not copy her Takanami, whether that was because he had no need to, or because he could not was unknown to her at the moment. If it was because he could not, Yuki believed that she had spotted a weakness of his, or at the very least an inability. "I see... " She began, stowing her tanto just before the Kidō bound her arms to her side. Her expression had become more serious and her posture less relaxed, even before the Kidō took effect. "Then allow me to make an observation, Caelum. You were under the false impression that we would retreat if the order was not retracted, no? Strange, I would assume one as old and wise as yourself would know that when a heavily-armed army such as this one comes knocking, that there will be a fight breaking out if they don't get what they want. To overlook that is sheer ignorance; is it so high up on your throne that the clouds shield your eyes from common sense?! Allow me to bring you down to Earth!"
As soon as she spoke the word "down", her invisible foot was already bearing down on Caelum's right collar bone from the front. She was not worried about him using Lee's abilities on her, because she would simply dissipate them before they could come in contact with her body, nor was she worried about Caelum attempting Senka either, because she didn't think he could use it. This entire combination of moves was to test whether or not he could use moves without the prerequisites they required. For instance, a sword for any of her Kendo techniques, or Shunpo for Senka and Utsusemi. As soon as her foot was to connect, her body would become solidly visible again, revealing that she was no longer wearing her Ginjōtan. As her gaze locked with Caelum's, she was close enough to see inside his sunglasses and take note that he didn't appear to have pupils, though she wasn't sure if her eyes were playing tricks on her or not so she callously cast this observation aside to be dealt with and tested at a later time.
Around a second after her connection, her Haori suddenly tore apart as Kidō energy was focused into her arms legs and covered her back. "Sōkotsu." She mouthed as she appeared behind Caelum, driving both of her fists towards his back, putting the proper amount of power into it to blow him apart. As soon as she appeared behind him, the image in front of him faded from sight, leaving behind strips of her Haori as payment for the Utsusemi. Likewise, the image of Yuki stuck inside the Sajō Sabaku disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving behind her Ginjōtan which fell to the ground with an audible thud and threw some dust up into the air. Apparently she had used an Utsusemi right around the time she had said "bring" and used her power over flow to disrupt the Kidō while in the middle of her unsurpassed Shunpo and break out of it.
[This is probably confusing to someone, I just know it. It's quite a bit of information for her movements and I don't think I did a very good describing and ordering them. So please, don't hesitate to ask me to clarify something. >_<] 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

◄【 Caelum Terminus 】► When discussion fails...
Caelum was observing the enemy lines from their very origin, watching as Lee moved to attack. His change from Shikai and then to Bankai was not all to surprising to Caelum, but it was noted. Lee's technique was somewhat amusing as well, though expected as Caelum did not expect him to cut anything with a stream of water. Once Lee moved, however, Caelum moved. He softly uttered, "Bakudō #63: Sajō Sabaku." and took a step forward as Lee became apparent behind; Caelum using his Oculus Mentis to know this far quicker than the others. The chains would wrap around Lee the moment he was even slightly physical, as Caelum knew his position, and in conjunction with the Bakudo, Caelum used his telekinesis to exert a pressure upon Lee, pushing him to the ground and holding him there.
Caelum returned to his stance just towards the end of Yuki's small speech and he proceeded to answer her, "To presume such a thing would be naive. I had very much hoped-" Caelums words were stopped prematurely as he felt a sudden beginning pressure upon his upper body, collar bone area. As the pressure began to push, Caelum pieced two-and-two together and found it to be a kick. In an act to lessen the damage, Caelum bent at the knee and leaned back, letting the kick rolled off of him and back towards Lee. Caelum stopped his decent with his left hand that was behind him, just a few inches off the ground. It would look like he was a ramp as his back was nearly on the floor, but his feet were planted and he was only bent at the knees. Caelum shoved off and came to stand once again. He pat off the dust on his clothes and began to walk to be between the two parties, Lee and Yuki and then the rest of the Captains. "To continue what I was explaining. I had very much hoped you all would be on your way as I really did detest the idea of having to fight, alas it was expected when I saw such a large party. However, your powers are the exception. Those are the only things I did not for tell, and rightfully so, do you not think? As for that man's opinion, Humans have everything to do with this. They are the imbalance and they cannot correct it themselves. Every time they kill, two more are born. You all are the only ones to stand up for them, and sadly that has brought you here to me, the root of your problems." Sighing, Caelum adjusted his collar and used his telekinesis on both Yuki and Lee, in an effort to slow down Yuki, though after the display of her own Reiryoku via Reiatsu, Caelum anticipated her to be able to break free easily. He held his guard up with his right hand and waited for them to move yet again.
A swift end to you shall be given.

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ Tetsu clenched his teeth as their techniques were copied and turned on them. The chains that wrapped around the unexpected Rokubantai-taichō had a tight squeeze to them. He grunted and raised his Reiatsu to break free of the accursed bindings. It was easier then he thought it would be after he finally managed to break the chains that held him. He exhaled slowly as a small bead of nervous sweat roll off his cheek and then from his chin. He slightly flinched as Elisia tapped his shoulder. He was on edge more so then he thought he was. "R-right... Riyu-Taichō, take care." He scrunched a smile out of the corner of his lips and took a few steps away from her. The haori-less Captain stopped after a few steps and inhaled through his nose. He closed his eyes and pictured the enemy in his mind. Since he was a Kendo Specialized Division Captain, it was time he started fighting with his sword. 'Caelum... leader of the Exaequare, so far he's shown he has the power to use Telekinesis and copy our powers. Everything has a limit, so I have to keep this limit in mind. ' He thought with closed eyes.
He dug his feet into the ground and Shunpo'ed with the best one he could conjure. His Shihakushō top flew open with his first step, to revel his muscular physique. His black hair was pushed back away from his forehead; all these attributed were visible the split second Tetsunosuke exited his Flash Step just to the right of Caelum, his blade was to the right of him, and both hands were it, with a tight grip on the handle, he'd slice through the Exaequare with his full strength. After he was out of his Flash Step, he opened his eyes to see he was in the right spot where he wanted; he took Sakuzen Kosshi and pushed it out in front of him, cutting the foe horizontally in half. As the blade would make contact, Tetsunosuke would pull with his left arm and pushed with his right. After a quarter of the way through his swing –after the blade would have made the cut-, he released the blade with his right and brought his left out of the force of the swing of the sword. As the sword was fully on Tetsunosuke's left side, he drew the sword back to his right hand; catching it right under where the tsuba would be. Now, Tetsu would be behind Caelum, more toward his left; in which he would follow up with a diagonally placed slice across his back.
((Hope it is not confusing. . . @~@; ))

734 xxxxxxxxthe Sun locks the Heavens xxxxxxxxthe Moon eclipses the Night 博士月子
Jūnibantai Taichō Though somewhat surprised that she had her own technique copied and used against her, it happened to be the smallest thing on her mind at the moment. Just before the Kidō was able to grab her, she felt it coming and launched herself into the air through a combination of Kokū Shukuchi and Shukuchi Mukyō, watching as the chains grabbed at nothing and were forced to drop to the ground. Riddled with indecisiveness, Tsukiko bit her lower lip in confusion as she tossed ideas around in her head. Watching Yuki go after Caelum and his reactions to her moves, it became more apparent to her just how his powers worked. However, she just didn't care at the moment. As soon she saw Yuki and Lee be stopped by some invisible force, Tsukiko saw her chance and vanished from sight, bearing down upon Tetsunosuke.
A split second after Tetsunosuke had swung at Caelum, Tsukiko was standing between them, blocking his blade with her bare hand, more specifically the butt of her palm. The blade cut through her skin and struck the chassis beneath, creating the sound of metal on a stronger metal. "Sorry..." She apologized, her face showing no signs of being truly apologetic. As soon as he moved again, Tsukiko tracked him and moved with him, driving her foot to his side to knock him away from Caelum. Now with her back to the Exaequare and a mere four inches away from him, Tsukiko looked at her mother with an expression that betrayed the current cold facade that she was exhibiting. Lifting her hand, she sent out a wave of gravity to knock the Sōtaichō out of the way of her next technique; she did the same thing to both Lee and Tetsunosuke seconds later.
Taichi Sōji Tama's inner sphere formed around herself and Caelum, creating a constant outward repulsion of gravity to make getting near them impossible. Afterward, it's outer sphere took shape, creating a field that pushed towards the inner sphere, at the sametime drawing outside matter towards the inner sphere, creating a crushing force between the two fields. Turning to face Caelum, she pulled a small device from her robes and bent over to set it down on the ground and flip a small switch on the side of it. The device began to emit white noise, the purpose of which was to drown out the sound of her voice after it got about seven feet away, thus preventing anyone but Caleum from hearing her voice. Just like before, for exactly the same reason she had not told Yuki what she truly intended to do, she was also keeping this conversation a secret because she did not want to get Yuki's hopes up only to have them come crashing down.
Folding her arms under her chest, she walked around to the front of Caelum and looked him in the eyes, her expression changing to one that held all the seriousness and determination in the world. "I have a proposition, for you. My colleagues intentions are to either change your mind about this human extermination business or to kill you so can't give out that order any more. Don't get me wrong, I intend to do the very same, but there's something I want even more than that. Aurelius told me that you are capable of reattaching a soul to a biological body if it is still intact, and I do not believe he was lying to me. Now, the way I look at it, you owe Hei a favor for not killing Aurelius when he had the chance, and you owe me a favor for taking him off cryogenic stasis. As a favor to Hei, I request that you bring him back to life, right here, right now. As a show of good faith, I'll release Dolor once I am certain he is alive once more, and after that, as a return favor to myself, you will send me back to the Soul Society. Do we... have a deal?" Holding her ground, Tsukiko showed that she was not scared of this man. In her left hand that was hidden in her sleeve, she clutched a small watch face-like device that was tuned to receive radio waves from one of the machines in Hei's body. If he was alive again, they would start working, and this device would tell her.

◄【 Caelum Terminus 】► When discussion fails...
"Interesting..." Caelum spoke under his breath as he watched Tsukiko jump into the air, avoiding the Bakudo entirely. This was something he was not expecting, as he assumed they would 'auto-attach' themselves to the enemy. A foolish act of faith on his part, of which he cursed himself for internally. However, with his over all attention turned to Tsukiko, he still noticed Tetsunosuke's movement towards him. He could only figure where he was going until Tetsunosuke's actual self was able to visually see again. Once this occurred, everything was easy. He found him to the right and about to strike. Caelum moved his right arm from in front of him to go and put in front of the blade, using Telekinesis to halt the blade, but his defense was improved by Tsukiko, who blocked the attack for him.
A surprised look played across Caelums features and he lifted his head in an intrigued way. He moved to the side as she looked towards Yuki, not wanting to get in the way of anything that may happen. Caelum could only venture two things from Tsukiko's break from the 'pack': Her own agenda or a public defection. He assumed the aforementioned, but still played the part of an unknowing man. When she shoved Yuki and Lee away and formed her orb around Caelum and herself, Caelum changed his bearing. He let his guard down and held his hands to his side as she placed a small device on the ground. When Tsukiko finally looked up to him, he took a breath and crossed his arms across his chest. Caelum's lip quirked to one side as she spoke of debts paid to him and his brow's even furrowed somewhat when she wanted him to reattach a soul. It was a shame that his subordinates speak to much, but that was what had happened, he had accepted that.
Sighing as Tsukiko ended, Caelum pulled his glasses from his face with his left hand, and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his right hand, every small movement in this type of area emphasized his wearing of leather with soft leather-on-leather noises. "You must be related to him to want him back as bad as you do. To go this far is enough to tell that. I can only assume for the other woman out there, but I believe her to be of relation to both of you as well?" Caelum replaced his glasses and held his hands at his back and began to fiddle with the black crest that was in a holder on his lower back. He was reasonable but to replace a foe of that caliber would be a mistake on his part, however, his situation as it is, is not favorable at all. Licking his lips to wet them, Caelum looked to Tsukiko. "You, young lady, are well versed in negotiation. You also played to my liking of the act. Your deal is accepted by me. I will regret reviving him, but if it will have you leave without a fight, I welcome the deal."
Caelum lifted his right hand up in front of he and Tsukiko. A small swirl of light whirled around his forearm and then his hand, condensing into a small white orb floating just above his palm. The orb has a strange protrusion at the base, it was a small lock. He used his fingers to grasp the orb and then closed his hand on it. The sound of something unlatching would be heard before the orb would dissipate into an ethereal stream of white light from the cracks of his hands. "There. Your soul is back. Now, if you would remove this from around us? I am sure you would like to see him now, yes? I would like you out of my hair at the moment to say the least." Caelum reached out and tapped Tsukiko on the shoulder, forcing symbols to appear all over her body, the symbols that would transport her back to the Soul Society.
A swift end to you shall be given.

Jūnibantai Taichō The device in her hand beeped, and her right hand flew to that sleeve, pulled it up and she revealed the device in her hand, pushing towards her face so that she could read it. Her hand eventually found it's way to her mouth, cupping it as tears streamed down her face. "He's alive... alive..." She stood stunned for about a half minute before picking up the device on the ground and turning it off. "Yeah... she's my mother..." Looking towards Yuki, she felt a nudge on her shoulder where Caelum had touched her and looked down to see the same symbols that Aurelius had made appear all over her body. Putting her finger to her lips, she uttered a short command that was wirelessly transmitted to Dolor's cage. Something within the rods clicked and they detached from each other, turning off the Sekkiseki barrier that suppressed Dolor's abilities and causing the rods to fall to the ground and shatter upon contact. Looking at Caelum, she tilted her head after wiping the tears from her eyes. "Make sure that b*****d knows who freed him." She said, just before vanishing, causing her field to fall apart.

|305|Masashi, Lee, Gobantai Taicho"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 simply looked down at his form as the chains wrapped around him holding his arms down at his side before an unknown force obviously from Telekinesis pushed down on him. Sighing Lee closed his eyes taking a few moments to get a breather before he opened his eyes again. "Shunko." The word was barely above a whisper as the kido energy formed around his body blowing apart the upper part of his uniform. Then taking the time to focus all the energy around his arms Lee pushed outward with all his might added to the kido feeling the chains around him loosening by the second. When the kido was finally broken Tsukiko had appeared beside Tetsunosuke and after a few moments it became quite apparent that for whatever reason that Tsukiko was stopping his attack. So she did have an ulterior motive for coming here that she wanted to remain hidden.
Then Lee was hit with a wave of gravity sending him back but also allowing him to move properly again. Getting to his feet a few moments too late Tsukiko encased her and Caelum in a field of gravity then using a machine to drown out whatever was being said. 'So that was her plan all along? Figures. So Aurelius was right in using the odd choice of words.' Dusting himself off Lee waited patiently for Tsukiko to finish her deal with the devil so to speak. Then came Dolor being freed making Lee sigh tiredly as Tsukiko left for Soul Society leaving them to deal with Caelum and Dolor more than likely as she went off for her reunion or whatever she was doing. "So what now Sōtaichō? Shall we continue fighting?" Lee figured the answer already but decided to wait until Yuki had spoken before leaping back into battle.
"Sacrifice through Danger and Pure Love. That is what the Lily of the Valley symbolizes."
