[You're baiting me and I don't appreciate it. I understand that you're attempting to back me into a corner where I have to ask the shinigami for help, but people simply aren't that easily manipulated. I would rather you had asked if I wanted a role in this plot rather than dropping it so unceremoniously into my lap.]
Jes was proud, it was true. But she wasn't stupid. She had merely attacked to prove a point: no intruder, no shinigami or Bount or any creature in between, could travel her domain without her leave. That the knights, or rather their controller, seemed so quarrelsome and desirous of a fight was of no concern of hers. What did irritate her was their silent disregard of her authority. That they had the audacity to storm Las Noches, dragging with them a ragtag group of bewildered shinigami was just plain insulting. Even she wouldn't treat her natural enemies, the shinigami themselves, with such cavalier disdain.
It was this thought that made these ridiculous beings bearable. Though usually content to command from above, Jes was not above combat. She found herself almost delighted at their apparent ability to regenerate. Upon first glance, it would seem that Jes herself was at a disadvantage. For those who knew her power (and few, if any truly understood their scope), it was clear that she had no emotions off which to feed and augment her strength, nor did the knights exhibit any memories or exploitable psychological faults that could be translated into devastating nightmares and illusions.
Yet, if the knight's controller believed Jes to be backed into a corner, he or she was sorely mistaken. Their controller had made the mistake of challenging Jes in her own territory where she commanded literally hordes of hollow and arrancar alike to send at these armored things. If not particularly skilled, a large enough army could certainly overcome a small group by sheer weight of numbers.
"I would ask you again to leave Las Noches at once," Jes spoke again, deadly quiet. "But I suspect you tin cans won't, or perhaps can't, comprehend. I'd ask whatever power controls you to leave me be at once. But you won't do that, will you?" She raised her voice to address the veritable crowd who had piled into her chambers, one after the other. "Nor will the rest of you. There was a time when all who engaged in combat adhered to a certain level of decorum, not the least of which was respecting your enemies. I can see such traditions are now dead... Unless one of you would prove me wrong?"

((Ugh, this again. And now 80 posts in a week.))
Jan simply sat on the ground when the knight-thing stood up. Already knowing what to expect, he hit the floor with the pommel of his katana a few times to loosen a piece of stone. "These annoying things don't take damage from energy based attacks, whether a Shinigami's Kido or an Arrancar's Cero. It's obviously a major pain in the a**."
Putting his two swords on the ground, Jan picked up the rock and threw it at the armor. Hitting the top of its head with a satisfying "clunk," Jan sighed as he drew its attention. "After a certain amount of time, it explodes or something and we get knocked out. Last time, we ended up here... But I doubt getting knocked out again will send us back to Earth."
((2/80))

((This is all part of the story, Jes. Besides, with all due respect, I'm the one who has the role to play here at this point in time, not you, my queen. Allow me to take it from here.))
"Well, well, I guess you need some help here, my queen" a voice from within the darkness as a figure of a tall, muscular man emerged from the tunnel and gazed upon the battle before him. It was Ky, leader of the Bounts and Ravens as well as president and owner of one of the world's largest multi-national corporations, KyCorp. It had been a while since he stepped out of his laboratory, due to preparations with the Ex Machina system, but he was glad he did at the right time. It looked like hell had broken loose.
"Allow me to take care of this so as you shall not sully your hands with these insects, my lovely fraulien."
Turning to his side, he heard a part of what Jan, the leader of the Vizards, said. Ky smiled at his remark. It was clear that Ky thought that Jan's statement was completely false. "That's because you aren't doing it properly, you foolish Vaizard."
Unsheathing his rapier, Ky swung it once to the side before thrusting it forward with great force, allowing his alchemical energy to seep out from his hands to his sword and thus transmuting the once straight blade into a whip-like form that shot towards the Phantasms. By turning his wrists and applying alchemical energy to improve his control, Ky effortlessly skewered through their chests until all of them had been impaled. Ky was not done yet, however, as he sent out another burst of alchemical energy, transmuting the tip of his, now whip-like, weapon into an anchor-shaped figure too big to pass back through the hole it had previously made before.
The Bount leader smiled and his eyes burning with excitement. "Time to reel in the catch!" shouted Ky and, using his monstrous physical strength, pulled his rapier back with such force that along with it, the Phantasms, too, were also sent flying back to him. A wave of the hand disconnected the base of the whip-like weapon from the hilt and Ky, now having nothing to hold him back from simply stepping to the side, did so and allowed the mass of armors to crash onto the floor with the whip-like weapon still impaling them. Immediately afterward, Ky placed his hand on the ground and erected a dome of thick granite to cover the heap of Phantasms.
"Phantasms are powerful close-range fighters that can stand toe-to-toe with the best and are dangerous when in groups. This is why it's preferable for those who had not encountered them to not engage them alone. For those who have, though, here's a tip," Ky said and snapped his fingers, turning the whip-like blade that impaled the Phantasms into a bomb of some sort.
A powerful gust of wind from an explosion which came from where the dome was ripped through the halls of the court, blinding almost everyone with the wind and the dust. When everything had settled down, the place where the granite dome once stood was now just a medium-sized, but deep, crater filled with charred remains of what used to be armor. "A Phantasm's weakness is that it does not attack unless you attack first. This is why your first attack should be fast, hard, and final. Also, their magic protection is only as good as their armor. If you let loose an energy-based attack after you've breached its outer-layer of anti-magic armor, they're as vulnerable as sheep are to wolves."
After dealing with the Phantasms, Ky turned and began to fix the crater he had made. He did not want to disrespect his mistress by not cleaning up after himself. While he was doing so, Ky could not help but feel worried from what he saw. "Those damned dogs of Genesis...it's about time they made a move," thought Ky to himself.

A large boom echoed throughout the room as the reappearance of the segunda espada was made. Without hesitation and as quick as his arrival was Temor threw a terrifyingly strong lunge that connected with one of the Phantasm's armor and hit dead center in the middle of it's chest. The attack was enough to crack the armor and forced the Phantasm backwards. Temor kept the tip of his blade upon the intruders chest as he followed the back peddling Phantasm continuously keeping it off balance until finally slamming it's back into one of the wall's within the room. Temor's blade sunk right into the armor upon the crushing impact from the wall and the espada instantly forced his blade upwards tearing the creatures armor in two pieces. His right hand had somehow already been surging with reiatsu as he then shoved that hand into the gaping tear while repositioning his zanpakuto along his side. "Cero..." called out the espada with a suttle tone in his voice as a familiar red blast of spiritual energy erupted with great force within the body of the Phantasm.
The espada's "main sense" had already been released so there was no need to observe those in the area just yet. His main focus was on the knights now and his senses keened in on their composition and structure. This first attack was more than likely overkill for a regular opponent, but Temor wanted to be sure that the other knights and intruders in the area should know that this is the last place they wanted to be.

"WAHHH!!" The dramatic screech could be heard from a mile away, Herieo's voice easily distinguishable amongst the more serious tones of the area. After a large gust of wind hit him with a percussive blow, he'd been shot into a whirlwind that spiraled him closer to the mess going on. To think, about thirty seconds ago he was getting ready to spring into his Shinigami form and start punching at an army of blood-red knights. Next thing he knew, he was barely able to see, and flowing about a room of weird people! With a thud, he'd land down amidst the crowd, crouched and wobbly as his body fell limp beneath him. He was in his Shinigami form, the human body suddenly regaining life to crouch beside him. "Ahem.. Herieo...? I'm sure you were too distracted by that candy bar to see what just went on but I think it's time we started to get the hell away from this mess.. That uber-powerful guy with the bounto presence just screwed over an entire army, single-handedly and with more skill then I've ever seen any spiritual being produce. I say we leave and go off somewhere where we won't get curb stomped by pure energy give-out.." The doll was panting and somewhat nervous looking.. Herieo, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention. His head was a blur, peeking in every which way at the numerous people.. His Reiraku sensing abilities, after constant interactions with potent spiritual beings, were improving at a scary rate.. He could feel that pale-skinned lady, the 'Bounto' thingy Pokken just spoke of, and several other key figures in the room.. It was pretty damn exhilarating. "Whatever, Pokken! I wanna watch this! These people have swirly energy give-offs.. It's like visible radioactivity waves! A buncha odd colors in thick shades.. No, ribbons!" Herieo continued to 'Ohh' and 'Ahh' at his personal findings.. Being here didn't seem to be as dangerous as Pokken had thought.. Quietly sitting back and watching wasn't hurting him.
Pokken seemed awestruck at his words, giving in as he shook his head in distress. "The kids an idiot.. I'm gonna keep this body safe though!" After muttering this to himself, he would sigh and stand, leaving the Substitute Shinigami to watch and absorb information. The boy's body would be safe.. His spiritual body, on the other hand, had to fend for itself.. The pilot to that body wasn't so bright, and damage was obviously in it's future!

((Yes they are already dead, though for the sake of catering to everyone's interest, let's just say that the Phantasm Temor-san destroyed was one that Ky did not detect. 3nodding
I'm sorry if I caused quite a lot of trouble, everyone, especially to Jes-sama... sweatdrop ))
With the last of the Phantasms dealt away via Temor-san's rather overzealous method of disposal, the Dark Court once again fell back to its air of eerie silence. With how both Ky and Temor-san destroyed the Phantasms, it was clear that they were not as tough or indestructible as once thought. However, with this little incident, the one who was controlling these unmanned knights already knew that there was something that wiped out an entire squad of Phantasms in one, fell swoop. With that said, one really could not expect things to end here -- this was only the beginning, the gathering of the dark clouds that would signal the arrival of a massive storm.

It didn't take too long before Ky finished rebuilding what used to be a crater back into Jes' unsullied granite floor. With his superior knowledge and skill in the alchemical arts, there was no doubt that he can do such a simple task like this, especially if it were his mistress' properties that were destroyed. Having that done though, there wasn't anything Ky needed to do in the place anymore, so he just decided to get up and make his way back to his lab to make preparations to leave Las Noches.
This decision came out from nowhere, but Ky knew that Genesis was active and already out to get him, so he wanted to make sure that nobody else would get involved in this fight. The arrancar and shinigami showed the unwillingness to get involved and in a way, that was acceptable for the time being. They were still too young and inexperienced and in time would prove themselves to be stronger than they could find imaginable. For now, at least, they had some time to enjoy their freedom to do as they please.
"Jes, I'll be returning to Earth for the time being. I will not involve Las Noches in my affairs, so I would appreciate it that you respect my decision to do so. I will return when the time comes, so until then, I thank you for your help, my queen."
With a respectful bow and serious face, Ky took his leave. Somehow he felt sad he had to go, but he knew it must be done. While he was slightly sad, his iron face hid that emotion quite well, a trait he had learned from spending so much time with another iron-face, the queen of Las Noches herself, Jes Minozuka.

There he was, Ky Di Verrater, self proclaimed prince of the bounts and owner of Ky Corp, but to Powchii Ky was nothing more then a pretentious a**. Powchii so far hated him as a leader and he saw not much difference between him Jin, both would lie their subordinates without ever thinking twice. His fists balled up as he thought to himself, 'Why!? Had you merely asked I would have provided you a distraction, but to trick me is a far less forgivable act.' he had to fight the urge to attack Ky, but seeing as though no attack was warranted he would feel like an a** to attack him out of nowhere. He had never really shown an actual hate towards any person he had met, but to Ky his dislike of the person was very clear.
He turned to Jes, "I'd better go with him." he said dryly. Powchii really didn't want to go, but since he had been working for Jes he hadn't left Las Noches and he thought he should probably go with Ky just so he could make his position with him very clear. He shook his head disdainfully then vanished.

Natsuo, the arrancar, appeared from the shadow of his sonido into the room. His knowledge of the shinigami penetrating Las Noches were known to some extent, and made note of minimal threat towards himself. This tireless shinigami intrusion was upsetting to Natsuo as he was waiting on the sidelines long enough, and decided to get some.
"Permission to assist, Jes-sama...?" he asked with a polite smile, hiding his true intentions. For if he went against the shinigami, there may be a chance of minimal success due to lack of numbers. But if he were to assist the espada that was heading towards Earth, some real results may be given.

*Enter from the Courtyard*
Running into the room Kasen looked around then turned behind him and shouted ,"This way Zaine!" Kasen shouted as he looked back and then noticed something about this particular room. A dark feeling fell upon him when he laid his eyes on the one person he hoped in his his life he would never actually meet face-to-face, Jes. "I'm guessing this isn't the restroom..." Kasen said as he tried backing out of the room before he knew two things when entering a room with Jes; Either stay and try to have a pleasant chat, or the obvious choise, run for you dear life. Unfortuanetly, he took the worse choice. "Well, I'm guessing tea and crumpets are out of the question, Jes, Queen of the Arrancar." Kasen said as he looked at the person before him and tried simply stalling for anything to happen.

"You should watch your tongue, knave..." Natsuo told him with a threateningly tone with base like steel in his voice, yet having warningly melody to it. Natsuo crossed his arms, covering them within the sleeves of his arancar overcoat.
"...Lest you know how to deal with what's coming to you," Natsuo finished his sentence looking over to him out of the corner of his eye. He smiled again giving a small wink.
"Jes-sama...." he looked back over towards Jeswaiting for instruction.
