 ɳɘɪɗɑ Ѻɿȶɪɀɀ ﹃Neida heaved a sigh after hearing Kazuma's remarks about her. Kazuma's unsettled behavior to an ally resting their hand on his shoulder was slightly amusing, considered that only Arrancar's Reiatsu were present in the Seireitei at the current moment; at least, the ones she could sense. But Jacques did not seem to have any hidden attentions, just to let Kazuma know where he was coming from, or whatever reasons it was for man to hold one another shoulders. "Well, sorry to burst your boy's bubble, I'm not interested in anyone." She smirked as she commented on their remarks about Neida being a suitable mate for Kazuma. "Don't be so uptight, Jacques, I am not too pissed off by your comments." She said with a normal tone with honesty.
She did not bother saying any sort of good byes to Kazuma as he left her and Jacques. Neida hated being alone with men, so this meeting between them was about to end with her leaving; but Jacques' words were... enlightening. She had turned and was about to walk away without Sonido'ing away, but her head was cocked to the side as she listened to him speak. Her body did a turn around as she looked him in the eyes. "I never would have imagined Zenos obtaining feelings for Sakuya, especially the way he's treated her all this time." Neida caressed her chin with her free hand as she thought how this could have happened. She looked back to the tall Yesod Sephira before speaking once more. "Indeed, this is a handicap to them. But nonetheless, it is not of our concern. Ori-sama can deal with it when, and if, they choose to forfeit their post for the sake of one another. But, Jacques, do not speak so ill of Sakuya, she is a Keter after all, her fall will not come easy. Only by a strong opponent like an Hakase will she fall to. For no pun intended, she's the Keter of Faith after all..." She winked with a small smile. The Sephira started to walk away, stopping only after a few steps to talk once more with him, hoping it would not be the last.
"Jacques Jonghelinck... please take care of yourself when the fighting begins. For a man, you are not half bad." Neida said softly as her back was turned to him. She was looking down at her feet as she spoke, though her face showed not affects of what she had said, no blushing, nothing that a normal girl might have done when she said something of such meaning; though she only harbored feelings of trust toward Jacques. Unlike Zenos, she never tried to act on emotions toward another person she may have considered someone she could get attached to. With a stop of her quiet moving feet, Neida popped her head up and let out an inaudible exhale. She looked to the wall, almost like she had heard someone let out a sigh of amusement. Neida shook her head, considering it to just be the wind as she continued to walk away from Jacques, and unknowingly a member of the family she was speaking of moments ago. ﹄

___________┗The Balancer of their reflections..┓  Jacques had chuckled as Neida made her joke; he was sure that she wasn't too interested in anyone, and Kaz was too spontaneous and energetic for her taste. He had agreed in her second sentence; he did seem to have acted a little straight-edge about it. As she had responded to what he had said about Sakuya and Zenos, he thought on it a little more. Maybe she was right? What would Zenos be doing with... Sakuya? Was it just a game he was playing, as an attempt to get at something? Jacques shook the thoughts away, "No, no.. Zenos is mean to the Keter, but he wouldn't treat her as a tool for something as simple as her body.. that does not seem like him to me."
He closes his eyes as she mentions Sakuya's power. He nods, "Neida, rank can mean nothing at times.. In a war, long ago, a King - a very great king - was struck down by a crossbow.. from a simple cook. Death is easier than we believe it is; we squander our years, and believe ourselves to be near immortal." He sighs and rest his head upon the flat bottom of the blade to his zweihander. Jacques watched Neida walk, and raises his head to stand straight as she says his name. He is taken back some by what she says, and smiles at the last part. He chuckles, "Come now, Neida.. you think a tough boy like myself is gonna let a Shinigami kick his a**?" He chuckles a bit and waves her off. Jacques crouches and jumps in to a sonido, going across the sky towards his cabin. He would sit upon a seven foot wide stump of a tree he used to build most of his cabin. He drops the end of his blade in to the ground, the weight of which was easily capable of sticking the blade upright. Jacques stared at the sky, "Even a King can fall from his horse.. if I am but the pillar of which I hold my Brothers and Sisters; what shall happen to me?" He took out his little book and began writing what had happened in the day. His memory did not remember words as clearly as he could remember pictures. As such, most of his book had what had happened in that time, and very little dialogue.

1274  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Malchut Sephira - Being of Lowliness
Tearing his gaze away from Sakuya, Zenos' expression returned to its blank default arrangement as he looked upon Jacques who had just barged into Sakuya's room like he owned the joint. Well aware that Sakuya would not take kindly to this, he applied pressure to her backside; not enough to keep her down if she really wanted to get away, but enough to convey that he was wordlessly telling her to calm down. Staring over her shoulder with the most expressionless face imaginable, Zenos listened to Jacques speak as he had little choice in the matter. He apparently had misgivings in regards to the inactivity of the Shinigami, which was understandable for some. However, since Jacques was a Sephira and thus within the circle of intelligence, he should have been well aware of why nothing had happened yet. Zenos himself knew exactly why they hadn't moved; there was a nine-month gestation period for humans, and following that the mother would need an extended amount of time to both re-cooperate and get back into shape from the lack of exercise associated with pregnancy. Because of this, he was unperturbed by the long wait for their retaliation; that and the fact that his lifespan was infinite, so a year and some change was not a big deal for him.
His stoic gaze was trained on Jacques location, even as he disappeared with a Sonido, and he paid little heed to his words in regards to what he didn't like. He knew all too well what Jacques was referring to, then again a monkey could have seen that in the look he had given Sakuya. Zenos slipped his hand from her waistline and rubbed the back of his head, running his hand through his silver hair. "Bothersome..." He said quietly, barely above a whisper. It was mildly irritating that they had been noticed by not one, but two other Sephira on this day of all days, and it was only a matter of time before one of them spoke. He didn't pin either of them for being keen on keeping stuff to themselves and if it came to pass that he found out that either of them had spoken about it, he would be quick to deal them a punishment even if it was in the middle of a battle. As he turned his attention back to Sakuya, Ori's voice interrupted him and stole his attention as it echoed throughout the Seireitei. At the time he was unaware of where it was coming from, and as his speech continued he found himself not caring about its origins. All he knew now was that any time after about eight and a half hours from midnight, he was cursed to be interrupted by everyone and everything.
While he found himself not caring about what Ori had to say, his interruption became Zenos' breaking point and though he did not outwardly change his expression, the desire to bury his hand in the chests of Kazuma and Jacques was beginning to take precedence over his agenda of staying in Sakuya's room for the time being. Excluding Sakuya as of this morning, he did not care for any of them on any sort of emotional level- not even Ori- and while he might leave them alone or treat the latter with due respect, he would not be stopped from getting annoyed at any of them and doing something about it. Ori had also managed to annoy him this morning, and it was only the fact that Zenos had no way of killing their leader that stopped him from trying. However, he did remind himself that he would outlive him, and that alone provided reassurance for him. As his voice died away, Zenos caught the unmistakable sound of a Garganta ripping open with his sensitive hearing; which he should not have heard at all on the grounds that the Sephira were not allowed to leave. He nearly dropped Sakuya as he swiftly stood up. He had still managed a grip on her, but given his sharp nails, he had probably just created eight puncture wounds on her back and two on her stomach. Instead of checking to see if this was the case, he hastily released her onto the ground and let luck take over that she would land on her feet. He appeared to ignore her for the moment- which wasn't his intention- and he turned away as he expanded his Pesquisa across the Seireitei while remaining eerily frozen in place, almost as if his Aionion Petrosis had backfired on him and he had become a statue.
With the only Pesquisa in existence that could actually search for physical bodies and not their Reiatsu, Zenos probed the Seireitei with his eyes shut, pinging the locations of each and every Sephira who appeared as white flames across a black background in his mind's eye. Once he had found all of them, he counted nine bodies; there were only eight Sephira, which meant that someone had arrived. From memory, he quickly mapped out the Seireitei in his head and laid the white flames over the crude map, seeing the locations of each individual body. Dropping the seal on his own Reiryoku trace, Zenos traced their Reiatsu, and upon noting that three of the four bodies at the labs were giving off Reiatsu, he knew that the Shinigami was there. From that, he easily deduced that it was Hei as no other Shinigami would both use a Garganta and arrive near the labs first. "So it begins..." He said, letting his monotone words fade into the air as he picked up his jacket and threw it around his shoulders, and then erased his Reiryoku and then sounds coming from his body. While adjusting his clothing, Zenos looked over his shoulder to cast Sakuya a trademark blank stare and then turned away just after letting his parting words hang in the air. "Get ready." Once outside her house, Zenos promptly vanished and then solidly reappeared about a three hundred feet away from Hei after tracking him.
Pocketing his hands, Zenos began a casual stroll towards the Vizard captain, staying in his path, and after a minute or two, the two of them met in the center. Zenos stopped and cast Hei an amused stare as he took in the sight of his long-time rival. He could see that he had cut his hair, that his uniform was properly colored, and most notably that his katana were missing, which was interesting in itself as it appeared- outwardly- that he too had abandoned swordsmanship. Of course, this held no relevance to Zenos as he had no intention of engaging Hei in combat; he would let him be someone else's problem. The corner of his mouth twitched as if he was trying to form a smile, which he did manage after a second or so. Despite this, however, his eyes still held no emotion, and held no warmth. "Have you improved... Hei?" He asked in monotone as he lifted his hand to his mouth and pricked his thumb with his fang and then pointed his palm in Hei's direction. Silver Reiryoku began to gather towards his palm, zeroing in on it in the form of four bent beams that rotated around the quickly forming sphere of Reiryoku in the palm of his hand. As the Cero began to increase in size, the wind began to pick up, buffeting his body until the Gran Rey Cero was released, spinning like a razor before it compressed and decompressed and turned into a massive blast-like wave that was sent straight towards Hei. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄Aionion Petrosis - Eternal Petrification

 WHY CAN'T YOU
PAOPUPAOPUPAOPUSEE?
PAOPUForget it......
I guess I have no choice,
PAOlet's get this over with.Kazuma The light is gone,
but I'll make my own.. 
Perhaps it was the quietness that conquering the Seireitei provided, but Kazuma was soon relishing the peace and quiet. Back in Hueco Mundo, he was usually left to his own devices, but there was always that off chance that someone wanted his position. In their system of ranks, it was easy to see someone trying to slit another's throat during the night, but here, with all the power hungry upstarts back in the desert, he could honestly nap without having to set up traps before he could lay his eyes to sleep. Just as he was about to drift into a dream, a loud blast rang from somewhere close to his position. Lifting an eye, he would have dismissed the blast as another one of Neida's venting methods, but recognized the cero to have been far too powerful for the target to have been just a building. As a self titled master of Cero, it was easy to identify the blast as one that came from at least a Gran Rey, but why? He could not sense any shinigami, but the blast was coming from the 12th Division Labs, a site most kept away from.
"This can't be good......"
Rising up from his lying position slowly, he quickly checks his guns, making sure they are fully reloaded before anything else. Then, after a few quick stretches to get the blood circulating once again, he uses a sonnido to appear a good hundred feet away from Zenos, Kazuma just making it in time to see the Gran Rey blast towards Hei. The sight of the shinigami was enough for him to groan; it had to be this one. Out of all the shinigami he had witnessed during the fight, he made it a clear goal to, whenever they came back, to avoid this one, their Captain Commander, and certain others who he deemed would be very bad for his future health. "s**t....." He could wonder why noone had detected Hei but Zenos later, the fact remained that if this one showed up, that means the others were coming. Easy to think that Zenos could handle himself, not thinking such a thing would be insulting Zenos, Kazuma instead uses sonnido to return back to where he first saw the others, Hei's destroyed home.
Instead of finding Jacques AND Neida as he had hoped, he could only see Neida as she was walking, apparently she hadn't noticed Hei's initial arrival either, but she had to have heard the Cero. "Neida! Shinigami spotted by the tweltfh Division Labs, Zenos is fighting back the Hakase guy, Hei. Bye!" Before giving her enough time to retort, he was on the move again, searching every ounce of his brain to the locations of where the Sephira had made their homes. Arian had made his home in the Fourth Division barracks, and he was a bit of a drinker so he could catch him if he was still in bed. It only took a few sonnidos to reach Arian's place of residence, only to find the lumbering man jogging out and about, most likely searching for everyone else. "Yo Arian! Fight going on at the Twelfth Division Labs! Zenos is handling Hei, but this just means that the rest will be here soon! Ya better get ready!" Again he was gone, this time in search of Jacques. Unfortunantely, unlike the other Sephira, he chose to live not in the main buildings, which made it harder for him to find them, as he was not exactly the most proficient with pesquisa.

Hod Sephira
=========================================== Arian Aes ===========================================  The blood has dried
The embers are deadDespite him agreeing that orders were orders, Arian still wished that Ori was mistaken in assuming today to be the day that the Shinigami would return. He had grown quite fond of living in Seiretei, the grass was much more pleasant to sleep on here, rather than the sand that prevailed inside Hueco Mundo. Then again, considering its usual residents, it should come as to no surprise that the worlds are stark contrasts of each other. Sighing for a bit, Arian tried his best to enjoy the peace while it lasted, before war broke loose.
Soon enough, it did, as the flash of reiryouku from the distance meant that the war has indeed begun. Judging from the power, Arian guessed it was a Gran Rey Cero, though he was keen enough to what it was, he didn’t know who fired it, or where it had been fired, until Kazuma showed up to inform him. The Sephira had arrived so quickly, and spoke so fast that by the time his words registered inside Arian’s head, he was gone once more, leaving Arian to stutter out a short ”Uh, sure thing.” before falling silent to try and process what Kazuma had said ”Twelfth Division Labs, Zenos is fighting Hei, got it.” he reiterated as he nodded ”Alright, let’s do thi--“
Arian yelled out, before suddenly feeling the call of nature beckoning him. Obviously, this was rather poor timing on Arian’s part, and though the situation was dire, his bodily functions took precedence as Arian looked around to see if anyone was there, before bolting back into the Fourth Squad Barracks to relieve himself. A few minutes afterwards he came back out ”Alright, for real this time. Let’s do this!” he yelled out, raising his fist into the air as he ran towards the Twelfth Division Labs. His heavy armor meant that he was perhaps the slowest of the Sephira, to make up for this, and to cover up the fact that he had no sense of direction, Arian decided to run towards the fight in a straight line, plowing through walls and jumping over ponds as he ran towards his destination. Needless to say, his progress was readily seen, as several walls now bore holes on them.But the fire still burns

The trash washes up to shore ▼ even in this landlocked place ▼ The s**t gets thicker ▼ Its toxic
Get it out of my face
Letting his eyes slip closed, Ori was on the defensive. One could call the feeling he had intuition, however, the feeling stemmed from the fighting spirit he had latent within his scientific being. It sensed that blood was going to spilled this day, and that it was close to happening. This made his stomach uneasy, for he had no clue what actual fortifications the opponents had at all. For all Ori knew, Hei could have created a super soldier. This was merely a speculation, and nothing to completely dwell on at all, as well as something that was purely conceptual. To have done something on that level would have required a vast amount of resources that were either destroyed here, within the Seireitei, or vastly short of supply within the Realm of the Living. While Ori's mind licked over these subjects with the quickness of a hare, he had his Pesquisa active and was readily searching the Seireitei as a whole with wave after wave of scanning. He picked up on seven of the Sephira with every pulse, as Zenos had his Reiyoku erased by his technique, though one thing became quite odd. There was a small sliver of Reishi output above the 12th Division Labs, something Ori often recognized to being a Garganta, however he had nothing come from it, to his senses, and found it closed with this idle movement.
Peaking his interest, to say the least, Ori stood from his leaning position, slipping his index finger loosely around Kuuhaku's Tsuka, closer to it's Tsuba, and began to fall backwards. Kuuhaku began to grain against the dirt, and when Ori was around the descending angle of 30 degree's, he vanished with a small circle of dust rising around his area as he did. He then appeared high into the air of the Seireitei, some feet just below the curve of the Sekkiseki barrier, at the same angle Ori had vanished from. Thus, he was still moving in the same motion as he was on the ground, essentially executing a back-flip in the air. He stopped himself as his bodies momentum arced and he was facing the ground. His eyes scanned the area around the Labs fiercely, but from the distance he was at, it helped only a little. Using logic to figure out the place of the possible intruder, Ori focused on the area around Neida and the others. If it was an intruder, they would surly make their way there before attempting anything.
Pulling his right leg up to his chest, so his knee was touching it, Ori pushed it down, forming a foot hold of Reishi under that foot. He was launched towards the ground with the speed of a Peregrine Falcon. His robes billowed with the force of the wind that rushed by him and he stopped about 100 feet above the immediate area. Just as he slowed himself and crouched in the air, a Gran Rey Cero, the color of which he determined it to be Zenos', shot through the area. Ori's eyes followed it as it billowed outwards and found it was directed to one man he remembered, Hei. Ori's eye lifted inquisitively as he wondered why he was the first one here. It did not matter much to Ori, but it was still something interesting. From what Ori gathered, Yuki was the more powerful, of the obvious twins, as well as the Captain Commander. Should she not be here before everyone to lead the assault? It was semantics on Ori's part, so he let it run off his mind as he crouched and watched the two.
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 My being is power: There is no reason to be afraid.

451   Hakase Hei Jūnibantai Taichō
"...allow me to show you a fate worse than death." With his Reiryoku currently untraceable and the Sephira clearly unaware that he was around, Hei expected to have a while to himself to check up on Yuki's living quarters. As he made his way there, utilizing a few hundred Shunpo in between faded appearances, he activated his eyes' secondary use and scanned all around him. He was only checking in a large area all around him in all directions so at the very least no one would sneak up on him with their Reiryoku suppressed. By the time he had gotten within a few hundred yards of his sister's former place of residence, he came to a halt when he saw a figure appear abruptly in the middle of his path. Zooming in on the figure, he recognized it to be Zenos, which he assumed it would be anyway, and saw that he was walking towards him now. Following suit, Hei humored the Sephira and walked toward him in a straight line, only stopping when Zenos stopped which created seventy or so feet between the two. Even as Zenos cast him an amused stare, and then forced a smile that was made eerie by his emotionless eyes, Hei could only return his faces with the same indifferent expression that was normally set upon his face.
He watched, albeit with little interest, as Zenos prepared his Gran Rey Cero and fired it towards him, apparently in an effort to see how he had improved. Hei didn't really have any intention of showcasing any new talents he may or may not have acquired, so he dealt with the potent Cero by palming the first part of the blast and pausing while holding the rest of it's force back before flipping his hand over and tossing it straight into the air at Ori, whom he had noticed when he arrived. "Maybe I have, Zenos. But that is not for you to decide. I have no intention of fighting you, as I have already beaten you once. But, if you care for a repeat of the last time, you may try and get in my way." With this, Hei lowered his hand and began a slow walk towards the First Division as he was in no hurry at this point. By the time he neared Zenos, he walked directly past him while posing a question for him, the answer to which he would listen to as he continued walking away. "So, what are you going to do; will you actually fight the others? This isn't like you, Zenos. I can hardly believe that you would have come here so quickly without a reason, yet you were the first to engage me. Is it... the girl?"
[It would take Zenos time to get to Hei, and in that time he was moving. I like how everyone decided they were "fighting" at the labs though. rofl ]

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
The gods trembled
The demons flockedLetting out a quiet but long sigh, Hibiki gave his arms one last stretch before making his up into the rooftop. It had been a full-year, maybe even more, since he had last visited Soul Society, and though he was used to this kind of homecoming, since he had a tendency to reside longer in the Human World, the fact that their home was a base for the enemy was something that disturbed Hibiki to no end. Though this wasn’t the first time he thought about it, he wondered what the Sephira might have done to their respective barracks, seeing as how they did massive structural damage when they first invaded, Hibiki dreaded the thought of how much destruction they might have caused during their stay. Of course the repair costs would be astronomical, not to mention the documents he had stored in his office were most likely burnt by now. And though he still remembers most, if not all of them, due to his pseudo-photographic memory, it would be a pain to rewrite them all, and in triplicate no less.
Disheartened by this thought even before the battle began, Hibiki scolded himself for being so easily distracted. They were going back to do battle, not to scold the Sephira and make them clean their mess up, though the thought was certainly amusing, if not a bit far-fetched ”Amusing that you care more about your trivial papers than you’re staff.” commented Kaze as Hibiki arrived on the rooftop ”It’s not that. If I didn’t know where they were I’d be worried of course. Where else am I going to find staff that works for minimum wage? Help is hard to find nowadays” Hibiki replied casually, because of his staff’s poor combat abilities, they were the first to evacuate Seiretei when the invasion began. A few months later, Hibiki received a letter from them saying that they were on vacation in California. Hibiki was tempted to force them into fighting, but then he realized that they’d probably get cut down before the fight even started, so he left them to their own devices.
Noticing that the Senkaimon was already open, and that no one else was on the rooftop, Hibiki assumed that the others had gone before him, so he made haste to catch up and entered the portal. Upon arrival, Hibiki was utterly surprised to find that Seiretei was relatively intact. There were some debris here and there, but generally speaking it was safe and actually hospitable, something Hibiki found to be odd. However, before Hibiki could dwell on the matter, the bright flash caused by Zenos’ Gran Rey Cero caught his eye. Thinking that the fighting had already started, Hibiki dashed towards the location at full speed.The winds were unleashed

|344| Masashi, Lee, Gobantai Taichō"Hold it together. Birds of a feather. Nothing but lies and crooked wings. I have the answer. Spreading the cancer. You are the faith inside me. No, Don't, leave me to die here. Help me survive here, alone. Don't Remember! Remember! Put me to sleep, Evil Angel. Open your wings, Evil Angel. I'm a believer. Nothing could be worse. All these imaginary friends. Hiding betrayal. Driving the nail. Hoping to find a savior. No, don't, leave me to die here. Help me survive here, alone. Don't Surrender! Surrender! Put me to sleep, Evil Angel. Open your wings, Evil Angel. Fly over me, Evil Angel. Why can't I breathe, Evil Angel?" 
Lee arrived part of his thoughts on what he had just done before leaving. Perhaps now wasn't the best time to reveal such a thing but she had asked him earlier in the day if he had made a choice. Though Nu wasn't the only person that his mind was on at the time. He should have waited. The possibility of Eriko knowing and perhaps getting hurt during the battle because she wasn't in the right state of mind to fight. Nu should have been fine in his eyes using the action as an excuse to come out alive. Lee knew he sure as hell wasn't about ready to die after everything. Not bothering to notice who was around he moved quietly towards his former division area curious about the state of things. His stealthy approach towards his former division helped along by the fact that he had no reiatsu at all to sense. Therefore he was not worried about being followed and ambushed all that much. Upon arrival he gave things a once over before turning his attention to the bright flash in the distance from a cero that judging by it's size was a gran rey cero.
Looking on for a moment and silently trying to decide if he should go investigate the disturbance he eventually headed that way. The cause having likely been because a Shinigami had been engaged. Lee would arrive on the scene and hang back to see if assistance was needed. He wasn't moving particularly fast just in case he was seen or being followed and made sure to be mindful of his surroundings. After all given the amount of time the Sephira had been here they had likely set up more than enough traps. Well at least Lee would be disappointed in their foes if they didn't set traps. After all why should they care what state Seireitei is left in as long as the Shinigami are dead? Either way Lee continued heading towards the site of the cero with his hand firmly on his sheathed zanpakuto.
(Ugh I feel so uninspired here lately for some reason. Hopefully this doesn't become common.)
"Sacrifice through Danger and Pure Love. That is what the Lily of the Valley symbolizes."

651  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
Aside from her dear little brother, Yuki was the first to arrive, which allowed her to fix the location of the Senkaimon's exit; which was in the whereabouts of the former Hakase estate. She reasoned that with the reappearance of the Shinigami in one certain location, the chance of the Sephira's attention being drawn to that location and then them attacking the structures was fairly high. Thus, if she picked a spot that was already reduced to ash, then there wouldn't be a problem. Stepping out onto thin air, Yuki solidified Reishi beneath her feet and immediately sent out a sonar-like wave using her Body Reading ability that spanned all across the Seireitei in every direction. It instantly told her everything she wanted to know; the Sephira's locations, their general health, moods, whether they had sufficient sleep, their Reiryoku reserves and other such seemingly trivial things. As she retracted her Seireitei-wide scan, Yuki glanced 78 feet below her at the sight of the lack of burnt rubble and the abundance of flat nothing which was growing minor vegetation here and there.
"Looks like someone was angry..." Letting her words drift off into the air, Yuki took a step forward, not bothering with not being seen, and began to walk across the sky as crimson-colored Reiryoku began to pour out of her body like flames while embracing her, wrapping around her form and inching up her body. It never retained a single shape, constantly moving as parts of it broke off and floated upwards as they began to lose their hue and fall apart from being away from her. The fabric of her haori at her neck suddenly began to bulge and move around until seconds later, the head of a tiny kitsune poked out of her collar and let out a tiny squeak as it looked around in curious wonder. Moving onto her shoulder, the minature animal glanced down tentatively at her ample chest and in one single leap, jumped straight into her cleavage and made itself at home in between her breasts, where it drifted off to sleep until it was needed. Yuki glanced down at this action by the fox and quirked an eyebrow before shaking her head slowly from side to side. "You might make a certain someone jealous by doing that, Rei."
After a sufficient amount of her Reiryoku had leaked out of her body, Yuki let her Reiatsu cascade from the heavens, falling to the ground as it spread across the Seireitei, targeting the Sephira and projecting fear and doubt into the hearts of those who could not stand up to her. She had little worry about being noticed, and there was certainly no need to be as she was perfectly capable of dealing with the Sephira. It was slightly arrogant on her part to think this way, but it was also the truth so she didn't feel guilty about it. Finally, after a minute or so of walking, Yuki vanished solidly on the spot and appeared on top of a building that was closely located to Zenos and Hei, as well as Ori. Coming to a stop, Yuki allowed her hands to disappear inside her sleeves as she stood atop the building, staring quietly at the motionless Ori. For the sake of preserving her own energy, she had no intention of moving until he did. That was, unless he took too long to do anything, in which case she would attack first. In her peripheral, she saw that Hei was walking away, and she was slightly curious as to where he was going, but she quickly brushed it aside as it was no concern of hers at the moment. Since she had no need to physically watch anything, Yuki slid her eyes shut, and three minutes after turning it on, promptly shut off her massive Reiatsu and compressed it back her body as she stood waiting. 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 [And that's 15/10 Pressure, so hindering to 13/10 and debilitating to 9/10. Don't forget. xp ]

Mitsuru Naohito

Rest your head now, warrior
I won't let them come
Slaying all those who oppose
To the rhythm of the drums

The Second Division Captain soon came after Lee, watching as he in the direction of his barracks., While she could have followed, she felt that he wanted his space to think upon matters. He could always be found later, he wasn't going to leave. The thought somehow comforted her, but now wasn;t the place for usch thoughts, now was the time to noticed their leader up in the air, displaying the easiest sign of their arrival since the cero that she had picked up coming from the twelthfh division labs. Having lacked propert reaisu defenses and the sort, it was hard for her to stand for a moment, but she managed, as she began to unfasten her haori, since it wouldn't serve her any good. Underneath her haori was the uniform of the commander-in-chief of the Onmitsukidō, restyled for her needs to be both practuical, yet stylish. Wrapped around that was her Ginjōtan, which took her some time to remove and set on the grouond with a loud crash. Already she could feel herself lighter, all the time wearing such heavy gear would have that effect, and with that newfound increase of speed, she dissapears in a shunpo to her own division, just to see what she could salvage.
Reappearing in front of her old office, she was prepared for the worst, but it still stung. Most of it was in shambles, her division not being spared any of the destruction. Her metallic arm grabbing a large boulder, she easily moves the stone out of the way to reveal her desk, crucshed by the large rock. All documents stuck underneath the granite was preserved, so she could still see the date in which it all hit the fan. Sighing to herself, she begins walking out of her barracks to the main streets, a hand running through her hair as she spots what could be made out as the old shops and buildings, most of them were preserved so Soul Society wouldn't be all that crumbled, but that didn't mean it would be easy to recover from all this. Where everyone else ran off to, it seemed that's where all the enemies are, so she supposed that's where she will be as well. With only a few shunpo she appears on the building adjacent to Yuki's though hers was shorter. From her height she could see Zenos and Hei clearly, though it seemed whatever "fightZ" she thought she would see was nothing now. She couldn't understand why Zenos wouldn't fight, but ever since he came to visit Hei's funeral, it didn't seem like he would be an easy man to read.
She could have taken a hit at the man. It wasn't overconfidence as it was her firm belief that she could close the distance between them, even pull on her mask and slit his throat, all it would take was an instant, but Yuki was here as well and she too could have taken the man, finish him faster then she could as well, so there had to be a reason why both Hei and Yuki were not fighting him. Looking around, she tried to sense the real reason but soon found a possible reason in the form of Ori. It wasn't as though he had the face of Tomomi, but he had the faintest feeling of the man who she once could have bashfully said was her closest friend, possibly more. She had now long since discarded her connections and regarded him like any other enemy, just stronger. He would have certainly be a problem if she tried to off one of his best men so soon in the battle. With enemies not above striking her when she seemed vulnerable, she kept an eye on Ori, her other focused on Zenos, bot were dangerous, but together in one place was just asking for trouble. Still, from what she could sense, there were others heading for the area, but not all of them were on their side. One specifically, was a familiar feeling, more then simple sensing as it was a sort of intuition, something that could only picked up on the battlefield. Leaving the two Hakase siblings to deal with this, as they were THEIR top men, Nu left in a final shunpo, overlooking Arian from a building overhead. From the sun's angle, it left her shadow looming overhead along with the buildings.
"Yo! Looking good Arian...."

⋆⋆⋆∥ ＨＡＫＡＳＥ xＥＬＩＳＩＡ
☇【 ｙｏｎｂａｎｔａｉxＴＡＩＣＨＯ 】 She firmly placed her feet on the ground as she arrived in Seireitei, looking around herself with curiosity. This place was not entirely recognizable, but it seemed known to her memory in a way. Her eyes closed, leaving only a small slit on which to look out of in case anybody should chose to attack her for any reason, as she breathed in the familiar air, letting the atmosphere wash over her. Home. This was where they belonged and where they were always destined to stay. Despite her misgivings from before, she completely knew now that this battle would be worth it – the fight for their homeland. The nostalgia and joyfulness was soon replaced by a more sombre and grave attitude, which manifested itself on her face, as she recalled the people that had lost lives. After this fight was over, she would have to make sure that every single one of her subordinates had a marked grave and were remembered after this. “Those who grieve are loved,” she uttered her division’s motto in a clear voice. Although she knew that time was precious at this moment in time, her feet seemed to take a different approach to her mind as she soon found herself moving at a rapid pace to her old Division’s areas.
It was outside the storage area that she decided to slow down to an eventual halt, as she was hoping that there might be several intact supplies that she would be able to use in the upcoming fight. Unfortunately, all the medicine would be all unusable now, due to the fact that it was not been suitably kept but instead hastily thrown into random shelves by her rushed subordinates. On the other hand, she managed to find and stow away into her pouch, several sets of bandages, syringes and other random medical equipment that would be needed in the upcoming fight. After that, she knew that there was no point in delaying her return back into the fray, although she stopped briefly, her feet freezing halfway through a step as she laid eyes again on her Captain’s quarters, her lips curving into a faint smile that lit up her face. However, she managed to drag her eyes and her attention away from there so that she was able to head towards where she had noted a bright flash from something before. Most likely, the fighting had started and she pushed herself to go faster, so that she wouldn’t miss anything. She was forced to pause again and nearly dropped to the ground as the pressure of Yuki suddenly dropped from nowhere. Taken by surprise, it took her several moments to fight the effects of it off, only managing to reduce it a little with her own contained Reiatsu. The reduction of the effects was just enough to get her being able to function almost normally and she continued on her journey, albeit at a slower pace.
She came to the area after a short while, spotting Zenos, Hei and Yuki at first glance. However, they confused her as Hei seemed to be slowly and casually walking somewhere and Yuki seemed to be standing there with her eyes closed despite the presence of their enemy, Zenos. While Hei’s bravery could be admired in a way, she couldn’t comprehend why he wouldn’t attack Zenos at all, or why Yuki wouldn’t do so either. Wincing as she knew that it would be foolish for her to intervene, she instead pinned it down to an unknown reason – perhaps there was a danger? Exploding mines all around? That reason was a little far-fetched, but she couldn’t think of many others. An ambush? The possibilities revolved around her head, but she darted away from there, spooked by Yuki and Hei’s lack of a reaction. Since Zenos was here as well as their own two most powerful Shinigami, it was likely that other people would be heading here and she did not want to get caught in the mad rush. She landed next to Nu, just barely keeping herself from tripping over her feet and stumbling off the building. Following her friend’s gaze, she glanced at Arian briefly, her focus lingering on him for only a second, before she turned to Nu and nudged her friend in an affectionate manner. “Good luck, Mitsuru,” she whispered, before crossing her arms and looking rather nonchalant about everything as if waiting for something to happen. ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬

Hod Sephira
=========================================== Arian Aes =========================================== The blood has dried
The embers are deadCrashing through a total of thirteen or so walls, Arian paused for a bit to catch his break his face visibly dirty due to the dirt he had acquired from repetitively tackling stone walls, though they were already structurally unstable due to the last war, it was still an unpleasant experience, one that had Arian coughing up dust as he took a breather. Looking back behind him, he realized that he actually hadn’t gone that far as the Fourth Squad was still visible from where he was, though it was a small speck on the horizon it was still there, meaning Arian had made little progress, most likely due to his weight slowing him down.
Discouraged by this, he sat down on a large piece of rock nearby, deciding that if the invasion had indeed started then the enemy would most likely appear in several areas instead of amassing themselves into one single location. Whistling as he waited, Arian was caught by surprise by Yuki’s spiritual pressure as it cascaded down upon them like a waterfall. Thankfully, his own immense spiritual pressure prevented him from succumbing to the effects, but he still felt it and guessed it was not just a mere hollow show of force, but a warning of sorts, indicating that she was not afraid to make herself known, something that gave Arian the jitters.
However, his dread was soon replaced by surprise when a shadow suddenly overshadowed him, looming over him like a hawk would do to its prey. Hearing his name called out, Arian turned around to see who it was, only to be blinded by the sun moments after he had lifted his head up, a rather foolish move on his part ”Ah, my eyes!” he yelled out as he reeled back out of his seat, causing him to fall over in a kneeling position as he rubbed his eyes. When that didn’t help to cure the blindness, Arian looked opened and closed his eyes repetitively using his hands, making it seem like he was hitting his face when seen from a distance. When he was finally able to see clearly, Arian didn’t dare to look back up again and simply asked out loud ”Who are you?” all the while facing in the correct direction, but his head wasn’t elevated and instead made it look like he was talking to the building itself, rather than the person perched on top of it.But the fire still burns
Inside my head

777  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Malchut Sephira - Being of Lowliness
As Hei lived up to his expectation of not showing off just yet and instead opted to redirect the Cero towards Ori, Zenos put his bleeding thumb in his mouth and sucked the remaining blood off it as he followed the Cero's new path with his eyes. With the wound "clean," he moved his hand into his pocket and refrained from regenerating the wound so that it would heal by itself like a normal wound would. After all, there was little sense in wasting even a little bit of energy on healing such a tiny wound, especially if he could use it for a Gran Rey Cero again. Naturally he remained silent as Hei responded in a manner that was to be expected of him, and only moved his eyes to follow Hei as he stepped past him. He didn't doubt Hei would win again, which was also part of the reason he wasn't going to bother to try again unless he was ordered to do so. His fake smile had long since been replaced by a deadpan expression, which was what remained as Hei started speaking again, this time about Zenos coming this way first, as well as a short question about Sakuya.
At the indirect mention of the female Sephira, the muscles around his eyes twitched, which was about as close to an angry look he was going to pull at the moment. Hei had somehow found about that, which seemed utterly ridiculous even if he was a genius with great insight. Their time together this morning wasn't even something he could find out about unless he was trying to find out if they had been together. It had to have been that either Jacques or Kazuma had spoken of it to Neida and Hei had overheard. Zenos, of course, reasoned it was Neida they had spoken to since she was the only Sephira in the group of four that were at the labs that had not directly seen them together. Whichever one of them had said something would be punished, provided they survived this battle, and it was taking a little more effort than normal to keep his cold exterior up.
Looking to his back left as far as he could without turning his head, Zenos followed Hei with his gaze until he was out of sight. "I cannot find any meaning in killing them, but at the same time I also have no reason not to." He said in regards to what he intended to do, as he was not going to respond to Hei's obvious attempt at getting an emotional reaction from him. He was at his mind games again, it seemed, and it was working; Zenos was just good at hiding his emotions. As Hei walked away, Zenos spared a quick glance towards Ori, then one to Yuki whose pressure he had not felt due to the Reiatsu-erasing field around him, the one that erased his own Reiryoku. It appeared the female Shinigami had no intention of going after him, so with that knowledge he promptly vanished from sight and reappeared near Hibiki as he entered a large area that was completely surrounded by thick, roofed walls save the sole entrance in the middle of the south wall. Sometime during his Sonido, Zenos had removed his dagger from his jacket and was now holding it at chest level, but in a reverse hold so the point of the blade was facing down.
Staring at the Shinigami as he neared him, Zenos uncurled his fingers from the dagger's hilt and let it drop to the tiled floor beneath his feet where it split a tile right in half- down the middle- before it came to a complete halt. Instantly, the entire ground and much of the walls surrounding the area turned to stone, and as soon as this occurred, Zenos lifted his left foot and brought it crashing down onto the floor, an act that broke and splintered the stone floor apart into large slabs of stone that flew into the air. Vanishing from sight, Zenos appeared near a large slab which he then forcefully back-kicked towards Hibiki before he vanished again. Zenos repeated this process many times over, moving rapidly from one place to another and kicking the slabs towards Hibiki each time- even if he moved around- causing various afterimages of himself to appear as he moved away. By the time six seconds had passed, Zenos had kicked a total of 23 slabs at Hibiki, before he finally came to a halt on the wall furthest from the entrance, standing calmly on the tiled-roof as if he had done nothing. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥
Tetsunosuke was sitting on a bench enjoying an ice cream treat. During a cool day like this, the place he bought it from wasn't busy and had the shortest line; since Tetsu had a short patience. While he finished the cone of the sweet treat, his wrist watch started beeping at him. A serious look came over him as his eyes opened and looked at his watch. With a chewing mouth, he mumbled something that sounded like, "already?" as he stood. He flipped the watched button to make it stop as he reached into pocket; reaching for the gikongan. Tetsu made his way to an ally and looked around; he quickly ingested the pill as his soul was forced out of the body. "OK... this is important... it's time to start the operation, just try to not be suspicious. Well... I don't really care, but I don't wanna get yelled at anymore than I already am." Tetsunosuke gave a salute with his two fingers as he Shunpo'd to the top of the building ahead. The gigai would just go about acting like a normal person, for now. Since leaving his Gigai abandoned would bring more trouble than just using his mod soul he was given. He flicked his wrist to his Zanpakuto, Sakuzen Kosshi, he unsheathed it. "Kyoshiro, I am not going to let revenge consume me. Since I don't know how you died... and it's not how I live." His legs gritted away from each other as he sunk the sword forward into the front of him, it disappeared into a dimensional rift, he pulled it back as a Senkaimon would appear as he did. He was rightfully greeted by a Jigokuchō (Hell Butterfly) fluttering to around his head. "Tomomi, I will protect the Seireitei that you died for." Tetsunosuke initiated his first step forward to his preordained destiny, almost monorail train; only being able to go on one set path, Tetsunosuke would have to take this path, hoping that if derailment were to happen, it'd bring his life to a full understanding of what he must do for himself. Tetsunosuke walked through to the Dangai, he looked around as time would flow unnaturally here, he wished he could take advantage of this place and bring back the ones who've lost their lives so he could have a few last moments with them. But sentimental thoughts would have to become abolished during this time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tetsunosuke - like many others - would walk out onto the first steps onto the Seireitei for the first time in long year. It had seemed longer, but at the same time, it seemed shorter. His Shihakushō wouldn't billow about as he walked a few steps forward; his clean Haori would though as he progressed. With a reluctant sigh, Tetsunosuke was able to determine where he was quickly with his Left Eye. He closed his right eye as his artificial left eye took control of the normal vision and drew out a map in front. Like as if he was flying in the sky, he was quickly able to zoom out from where he was and see which Captains, Lieutenants, and Arrancar were in the area. "OK... I am by th-" A hindering Reiatsu suddenly fell around him, Yuki's no doubt; but it was only being aimed not at everyone. With just one step, he had traveled a good distances and was beckoning on the trail of one, his next step would be that of a normal walking pass. He looked down the corner of the ally as he saw who it was; indeed, he had found an Arrancar. A girl at that, she had long brown hair and what appeared to be a hair piece as a remnants of a Hollow Mask. A smirk befall him as he look her up and down. She was well endowed, perhaps too well; possibly making any normal girl who saw her either jealous or thankful they weren't burdened with such large bosoms. "I don't hold any grudges against you, Arrancar. But it's nature that brings me to do this." Tetsunosuke said, looking down as he drew his hand toward his Katana. His muscular fingers and right hand would encompass the blades hilt as he would - with assurance - draw the blade from his sheath and dictate it to the front of his body; allowing his left hand to follow suit, gripping the bottom of the hilt in its rightful place. His dual-type Reiatsu would quickly become apparent as he unleashed it; being not that of Shinigami, allowed him a unique distinction. Like that of an old food, that's had added flavors to it is what Tetsunosuke's Reiatsu would feel like to those who've felt it before. It would also bring up thoughts of this man, if they were paying attention, reminding them of who he was, what he's been involved in with them, and what was formally capable of. But his Reiatsu would also carry that of a new resolve; one that was determined to live his life to how he saw it to be lived; nothing was going to stop him from doing this. Right now, these Arrancar, this Sephira, was only an obstruction, something that was to test him, something that was to dull his iron, so that afterwards it may sharpen to perfection.
As Tetsunosuke was reading his body in the couple of seconds that had pass, a slow steady heart beat was quickened as his eye shot open and he dug his foot into the ground. He was aiming to preform a Senka, hoping for her quick death, so she and more than likely, himself, would have to suffer through a fight. In an instant, he was appearing behind her, his Shihakushō and Haori billowing from the movement. His hand quickly went into a Chiburi as he turned to the left and watch what had happened to her. His body wasn't fully turned, but enough so that he could look with his left eye. With a finished exhale, he hoped that he would see he fall like a siren who had just gained legs. "For the hopes of anyone... will be that when they're gone, someone sheds a tear for their lose." Tetsunosuke said, sounding like he knew what he was saying, or acted on it.
