Linuen Frost
Third Seat, Seventh Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
Linuen giggled softly as Shizuka absentmindedly patted his head. At that same moment, he sighed in relief because he felt so secure, safe and...
Suddenly, he felt the presence of yet another figure. But this time, it was not one of the Gotei or their allies, the Espada. It came from a man, who was named Yokozuki and a former soldier of the Gotei. Linuen sensed the dangerous aura of the man at once and then immediately held out to his Zanpakuto. "This man is affiliated with the power that caused this phenomenon, Linuen..." Alestha's voice ringing out deep from Linuen's soul. He nodded in recognition as he agreed in her statement. True to her words, the ice was enveloped by a strange force which the Third Seat found extremely foreign. Considering that Linuen, too, was a user of an ice-based Zanpakuto, he found this case alien to him; it seemed as if it was not of normal ice at all. It was manipulated ice.
The man named Yokozuki began a riddle-seeming monologue which greatly disturbed Linuen. It was most unlikely because Kei Aoi, who was the Third Seat's former mentor, sometime spoke like that but it was not at all disturbing. Maybe it was the foe's presence, or the man's aura, Linuen did not know; however, Linuen was all aware of the sinister feeling the man gave to him. The Third Seat pulled his sword and then sighed heavily as members of the Gotei made their own first strikes particularly the captain-commander, who was aptly called Senka; the captain of the Twelfth Division, a woman bearing a strange-natured sword, and were both repelled by the enemy. Linuen shook in fear as he saw the strength of the enemy.
"Linuen, stay by my side if you want, but I won’t stop you if you wish to move somewhere else. However, please take care to at least stay near the group, since I hope that you don’t intend to get ambushed if something happens." Linuen's captain began, "Shiva is the only enemy here and if the Espada do turn up, don’t fight them. Hopefully, if everything works well, they’ll be on our side." She added and then she dashed towards the sides of Tsukiko and Tyrus, who had been ready to strike any moment. This time, Shizuka left him to do her task - to protect Soul Society. Linuen nodded to himself and then discovered just in time to see the vice-captain of the Third Division, a young-looking Shinigami bearing charismatic features, head towards a member of the Fourth Division. He was a member of the Thirteenth Division, so why did he go to the Fourth Division's side? Linuen wondered to himself.
Fourth Division was the medical support group of the Gotei elite.
And then, the man began yet another speech, much to Linuen's horror. "Hold your strength. Do not be intimidated, you foolish boy." Alestha exclaimed to which the Third Seat flinched in shock. He nodded reluctantly as he clutched with what courage he had left. Suddenly, the voice of Yokozuki changed; it was the voice of Shiva now, who continued the speech for him. She spoke of hell and destruction of worlds, much adding to Linuen's growing panic deep inside him. Linuen, who found it better to do something than get intimidated by the foe's apocalyptic words, dashed towards the side of Mikito, before a Fourth Seat of the Fourth Division.
"I'm Linuen Frost, a Seventh Division member." Linuen gasped as he pulled out his katana and then made a rather unfocused battle stance due to the panic he was feeling.
And then, the stone which Yokozuki brought released a tremendous force that enveloped the entirety of the place. The enemy was enveloped by a strange mist and the force engulfed the figures around him. Linuen was consumed by it in seconds and was unable to move. Fear. Fear ate Linuen's senses and he wanted to call out to Shizuka but he needed to become strong for her so that he doesn't stay as useless as Tyrus Ares told him long ago.
It was then that the captain-commander, who performed her Shikai release of her Zanpakuto, saved the rest of them from the grips of Yokozuki/Shiva's strange stone. But on the downside of this that after making the release, the ground and air before all of them all shook to the powers of the captain-commander. Linuen made a yelp of shock as the force that earlier enveloped him was ripped of the power of Senka and the earth was rattled by her force instead. He fell at the ground but immediately regained his footing after a moment of struggle. The ground trembled. The air seeming-shattered. Linuen gaped at the portion of the full power of Senka.
Linuen gave Mikito a faint smile as he saw the vice-captain scramble back to his feet, too. "The power of the captain-commander..." Linuen gasped shortly, looking at Senka. "Is something too strong for someone to be meddled with..." Alestha's voice ringing softly as her tone was filled with great amazement. Linuen clutched what's left of his courage and waited for the next move of Yokozuki.

Tyrus Ares
Captain, Thirteenth Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
Tyrus Ares was enveloped by the force that the strange stone at once, just like those before him. He found himself being strangled by the power of Shiva. He was being choked. He was immobilized. He was rendered useless in a matter of seconds. But before all hope is lost for the Thirteenth Division captain, he was saved from the grip of the strange pressure by the release of Senka's Zanpakuto.
The Shikai release of the girl's Zanpakuto was extremely powerful, far something beyond his wildest imagination. When the release phrase was called out, the ground shook and the air sounded like it was shattered into pieces. The snow upon the trees around the area was whisked off by her initial release - Tyrus was surprised to see the trees still standing high after the shake. The air rattled before them as if its entire composition was touched one by one by Senka's power, which greatly amused Zebulun. "This girl..." The voice of the young boy, who was Tyrus Zanpakuto, rang out from deep within. "She has the power I would not even dare thinking to clash with." He added, his voice full of wonder. Tyrus, meanwhile, took a while from raising himself at the kneeling position he was reduced at.
Then, he looked at the status of Shizuka, who joined them earlier in the front line, get onto her feet. Tyrus gave her one totally-off-the-scene smile as he looked at her. "Tipsy?" He joked and then turned once again at Yokozuki and Senka, as the latter discussed about the power of Shikai enough to destroy Shiva, perhaps. Tyrus had his doubts, of course. Shiva, if the stories were correct, was the creator of everything. Well, the creator would not be beaten by one Shikai, would she? Nonetheless, Tyrus Ares once again regained his formal battle stance, a special subject he mastered whilst under Kei, and then waited for the coming steps from Yokozuki. ((Short post... Putting another description of the events would cause the redundancy from Linuen's post...))

Yokozuki Nekkyo
Sanbantai Taichou
 [Due to the fact that Lint In My Pocket (he's stepping down from his Captains spot) is not very active and I've been given permission by both him and Hiraka, you'll have to deal with the next part, or talk to Hiraka thanks =D]I've been given permission to control Nayton.
Not slightly interested in the girls display of power or comments for the time being, the mist covering Yokozuki faded, revealing a man thirsty for power, the stone floated slowly around him in a circular fashion. "That reminds me, certainly you've all noticed that this stone was not the one found in Seireitei yes? Certainly you aren't blind." He began chuckling to himself more tauntingly, as if he was trying to provoke the shinigami. "But where oh where could it be? Certainly it didn't vanish into thin air did it?" It was true, the stone, after being ripped open from the separate dimension it was staying, had left, believing it went to Shiva, the shinigami had no way of tracking it. "Of course it didn't, but I wonder if you know that it didn't actually leave Seireitei, in fact, it's been nearer to you than you first thought, so near in fact, that it was with you when you retrieved the injured from the sight of the battle." He looked to Ashely directly. "With you when you comforted an old friend." This time he shot a glance to Yukito and then to Tyrus. "And left with you, when you came here, here to this forsaken world. Oh yes, it's been that near to you, and yet you've not noticed its cry, its thirst for the mist of which she shall feed it, and now you will know just where it lays, isn't that right, Nayton, Miwasuji." Nayton, whom had arrived only moments ago felt eyes starring at him, from all over, or so he thought, a sudden burning sensation rose in his body as he began to jerk around and squirm. "It..it burns.." He stuttered out quietly, unable now to move his body, the veins in his body began to glow brightly, as he then yelled out in a sudden outburst of agony.
"You see, Shinigami, there are three stones. The Dawn Shard, which I hold, The Mid-Light shard, which resides in Nayton's heart, and The Dusk Shard, its whereabouts sadly are still unknown. One to protect, one to war, and the other.." Nayton continued to scream, as his skin was turning black, it was being burnt from the inside eyes, his hair left his body as flames from his nostrils and eyes. In a matter of moments, Nayton was nothing more than a more figurative stick man, the burning that took place was not normal, as it actually transformed his body. His feet were points, his hands as well. He still held a human like shape for a head, however there were no facial features, his mouth was also gone, the point where his nose would normally be was no more, his hair vanished. There was not a single imperfection on his body, it was a completely even color of black, the only difference is as the spot where his heart was a bright light shone out, it sparkled for a moment before bursting from Nayton's body, extracting along with it a grievously large amount of blood and smell so foul the the very air seemed to die. "And this my dear shinigami, is how her resurrection shall be made, but you can stop it, all you need to do is kill your friend, he's still very much alive, he's completely aware of what's happening, feels every ounce of pain, he's dying anyway, you might as well just kill him." Yokozuki chuckled.
'Someone needs to kill him'

 ɱikito Ϩikijiro
未希飛 偲稀児郎
The Young Sansenki
========
"⓿nce upon a time, there was a white rabbit and a black rabbit. They both fell in love and hopped all over the meadow ƬʘƓƎƬƕƸɼ. They both hopped over the grass and through the bushes, and hopped onto a pile of leaves ƬʘƓƎƬƕƸɼ. The pile of leaves were actually camouflauge for a bear trap, and snap the bear trap went, with the two rabbits killed immediantly ina a mess of guts and blood. They died ßƦʊτλʃʃϒ, but they died ƬʘƓƎƬƕƸɼ." "
=======
Mikito's smiled and nodded towards Liunen as he came towards his side, "Mikito Sikijiro, thirteenth division." introduced Mikito as he continued to stand his ground agsint the reiatsu. It was going okay for Mikito until he saw Nayton appear, Mikito's jaw dropped and when the stone came out of Nayton...he was... He was gonna do!
No... He can not die!
He can't.... He can't
It was too late, what had Yozuki meant when that was the way Shiva's ressurection was going to be made?
Why...?
"No! Nayton-taichou will not die! The fourth division or maybe another division can..."
The screaming from nayton broke into his thoughts and naive words, and Mikito couldn't focus. If Nayton were to be saved, would he able to be live with the shame of being possesed by Shiva? And would he even go back to his normal ways?
Tears began to gather in Mikito's wide eyes and he convered his mouth with his hand that was not holding his zanpakotou to muffle his breathing and attempt to calm himself down. unable to watch the pain and suffering. This was gruesome.
This was too much to handle. =====================

996  
As soon as the pressure was dispelled, Tsukiko felt more at ease now that she no longer had to deal with it. Her relief, however, remained short lived when a new source of grief made itself more apparent- Yokozuki's continued dialogue. At this point, it didn't even matter that the Gotei 13 was the least of her concerns, she wanted to deck Yokozuki in the face for talking so damn much. It was enough to drive her batty; she absolutely detested it when people couldn't shut up! The entire monologue proved to her that Yokozuki, or apparently Shiva since she seemed to be the one speaking, couldn't figure out when to shut up or realize that his or her antagonizing speeches were clearly not working. "Oh, how I want to say something to that man..." Doing her best to keep it together, Tsukiko finally reached her breaking point when Yokozuki targeted Nayton, who she recognized as the man who had launched a wave at the Shinigami back when Zenos had left. Without saying a word, Tsukiko vanished with a Shunpo and appeared to Nayton's front. She was well aware of what had happened to his insides just by looking at the effects of his outsides, and she didn't need Yokozuki's incessant provocation to tell her what needed to happen. A glance was enough to tell her he was doomed as it were, and despite Mikito's cries, death was the only option.
"I suppose I alone hold the capacity to do this... Everyone else is too much of your friend, I think. Goodbye." As her soft utterances left her lips, she rapidly toggled the button on her secondary weapon, having moved it near his chest as she was speaking, causing the concentrated laser to extend and retract in less than a second to gauge out his heart for a swift, relatively painless death, and send him toppling to the ground after he was dead. She remained silent for the moment, rustling her robes as she put the weapon back before she turned away from Nayton and looked towards Yokozuki. "What is this... stupid feeling... now of all times..." Screwing up her face into a pained expression, a single visible tear cascaded down her right cheek --apparently she was not so stone-hearted enough to kill him with no remorse after all-- and then screamed at him. Her body quivered for the time being, and a few tears followed the leader, but she appeared to ignore it externally as she battled her sorrow on the inside. "Is it not enough for you to claim divinity that you have to mow down everything that stands in your way?! What the Hell is wrong with you and this stupid Shiva b***h anyway?!" She jabbed her finger in Nayton's direction, and then quivered some more as her feelings teetered the fence of anger and sadness.
Despite her lack of concern for the Gotei 13's affairs, Tsukiko was not familiar with death in any form; she was certainly not prepared to have to kill someone, no matter what front she put up while doing so. Unfortunately, Tsukiko was the kind of person who could do it, but then harshly feel the effects after the fact. "There, you've made your point abundantly clear to me! Shiva's no Goddess, she's a child with a superiority complex, and that's all she ever will be! Take your incessant babbling, shove it up your rear end, and do what you're going to do so someone, anyone, can knock the cobwebs out of your collective heads and shut you up for good! By this point, her shoulders were heaving, falling and rising with every breath she took --even though breathing had no meaning for her-- and she was visibly angry with Yokozuki. It wasn't even the talking anymore that bothered her, but the fact that people never changed; there was always that one person who decided they wanted it all because they deemed themselves better than everyone else. It was sickening. Tsukiyomi had long since come out of her hiding place, and displayed a meek expression as she loosely raised both hands while her owner yelled at Yokozuki. She had been watching, attempting to make a grab for her to calm her down, but it had been no use; either she was too timid to attempt it or Tsukiko was just too frustrated. Eventually Tsukiyomi dropped the attempt and let her arms drop to her side while she curiously watched her master deal with this situation; she was no more familiar with death than Tsukiko was. ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ [I think that he should change them now, yes?]

There was no doubt that this girl was powerful, especially to be able to perform all those things at once as well as free her own comrades from what had happened. That was definitely one person that people should really not attempt to get upset or make an enemy of. However, as the mist cleared, she again concentrated on their main enemy, one that was thankfully visible at the moment. Her eyes narrowed and she barely concealed the burst of anger that flared up suddenly at his mocking manner, unwilling to let this man get what he wanted for the moment. For whatever reason, he seemed to be alluding to something, telling them details that would lead to a discovery of the place of the stone found in Seireitei, yet withholding the final answer to torment them. This new Yokozuki was getting on her nerves, even though she told herself over and over again that this was Shiva’s doing. What sort of an enemy was she? It was most likely the weak type that manipulated others while hiding in the background, only to discard them later on, either fleeing if she lost or staying and gloating if she won. “Coward,” she whispered, barely able to be heard if one listened really hard to her, “If you want something, fight for it yourself on equal grounds.” She knew very well that the day that an enemy did do something like that, would never come. It was simply easier and safer in the long run to use others. Then again, she guessed that if she was intending to achieve a goal herself, she would most likely fulfil it in a roundabout way as well, so who was she to judge people?
She snapped back into attention just as he called the Sixth Division Captain’s name, her mind running through all the possibilities and piecing the puzzle together in a hurried sense. Damn. That would explain a lot and unfortunately, did not bode too well for Nayton. That was soon made clear to be an accurate guess as he suddenly began to scream in agony. The sound pierced her eyes and staring at him, she was unable to tear her gaze away from him. Her body seemed to freeze as well as she slowly dragged herself out of it, the sight of the burning Nayton screaming through her mind, seeking as much attention as possible. Despite her body’s refusal to move, her mind was functioning and she came to only one answer for everything, that Nayton had to be killed. There was no chance that anyone would be able to save him, even the Fourth Division and certainly not one of the others. It was only when Tsukiko moved in to perform the actual deed since some, including Shizuka herself, seemed to be unable to move and do anything properly, that she finally managed to slowly drag herself away from Nayton and towards Tsukiko, who, although she had been the one strong enough to do what the others hadn’t been able to, was apparently as affected as the rest of them. Somehow she wished that she could yell and scream like the other girl to express her feelings towards this entire situation, but she knew from experience that it would not help her at all. Not only that, but most likely, Shiva and Yokozuki, well, the twisted version of Yokozuki that they had been stuck with, would have wanted this result in the end. She didn’t doubt their capacity for revenge or their liking for other people’s grief, it simply suited them too well.
While she could identify with perfectly what Tsukiko was going through, since she had experienced many deaths after joining the Gotei 13, she pulled herself together before shunpo’ing next to Tsukiko, on the other side of Tsukiyomi. Several reasons came into play for her movement, mainly because of a sense of pity for the suffering that the girl had went through and partly because she owed the girl her life. The others could deal with the battle and Senka would cover her back if anything, so there wasn’t too much harm if everything ran smoothly. Placing her hands firmly on both sides of Tsukiko’s shoulders after a brief, visible moment of hesitation, she stared at the other girl, her expression grim, before softly making her best effort to soothe her, since anger would only cause problems later on, “Jūnibantai-Taichō, calm down. I’m sorry about the fact that out of all of us, you were the one to have to do this. Anger is not going to help anything and I understand what you are going through at the moment, but take a few moments to calm down. Fighting in this state will merely hurt yourself more.” She shrugged her shoulders in a helpless manner, “Getting enraged by this will simply give them what they wanted in the first place and it’ll leave us no better than we were before.” － ⋆⋆⋆ －

 Mikito Sikijiro, Young Sanseki of Squad 13
--------------------------------------
Mikito flinched as Tsukiko made the killing blow, it was just like watching his dog being put down....
Wait, what dog?
Mikito shook away the confusion and left that thought for later, breathing more calmly, he at least had one good thought in his head, Nayton was at peace. Better that being burnt on the inside out.
The grip on his zanpakotou tightened till his knucles turned white, his head began to throb with rising anger, and he bared his teeth like a dog in rage, "You coward." was all Mikito could say to Yozuki as his eyes flared with anger. He knew better than not to attack Yozuiki right now, he might have a dangerous trick up his sleeve that could risk his own life, maybe even the others.
Meeting Tyrus's eyes, he wondered what he was able to do, control the seasons? Rearrange bones?
Send up massive barriers?
If Yozuiki began his attack, he would be finnally be able to show Tyrus what he can do, and put Yozuiki the jackass under the grave.
That bloody b*****d deserved to die a painful death.
And so did that dumb Shiva who brought nothing but sadness and despair.
His thoughts becoming more based on defeating his opponents, he went into a more confident battle stance ready to fight whatever Yozuiki sent at them.

Eight Division Captain
============================================Yukito Shun============================================
 It is through skill that we fightWhile waiting, Yukito scanned the arctic horizon for any signs of the enemy amidst the bleak white background. His encounter with Zenos and the brainwashed Shinigami, coupled with the detailed reports and information briefing told him to be alert for anything. This ranged from abnormal spiritual pressures, sudden inexplicable inner whispers and even the possible appearance of Shiva herself. However, what the briefing lacked was how to prepare for the sudden face tackled and subsequent application of a full-on death grip to the face by a child possessing enough physical strength to easily fold steel like laundry.
As Senka cried out loud while holding on to Yukito’s face, the Captain utterly lost his composure and stumbled about, most likely as a result of loss of oxygen to his face. Feeling his head about to go numb, Yukito was on the verge of passing out when the childish Commander-General was thankfully plucked from his face, without dragging off some of his hair, or worse, some of his flesh.
Gasping for breath, Yukito immediately collapsed on all fours to the ground, panting heavily and visibly sweating. Though the girl obviously didn’t mean it, her choke hold was enough to bring Yukito to the brink of collapse, and if left to her own devices, the Captain would’ve probably died on the spot. Cause of death, getting suffocated by a child, one rank your superior and ten years your junior. That would’ve been quite a statement during his military burial.
His head still numb, Yukito was unable to take note of the people around him, specifically Shizuka, as he didn’t have the composure nor spare the breath to greet her. The loss of breath was substantial enough that by the time Yokozuki had appeared, Yukito was still a bit out of it, his vision a bit blurred and the sweat on his face beginning to cool down, resulting in a rather uncomfortable feeling for the usually relaxed and composed Captain.
However, when he caught him glancing towards him, he silently bid his tongue to snap his senses out of their stupor. He wasn’t sure why but he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, which was confirmed when Nayton, who had just arrived, was suddenly beginning to blacken, like a stick that was thrown onto a fire. Dumbstruck, Yukito averted his eyes angrily towards Yokozuki who was he thought was the cause of his comrade’s immolation ”Yokozuki! Stop this no--“ he yelled, before the sound of flesh being ripped out caught his attention.
Turning around, Yukito managed to see Nayton fall to the ground lifeless as Tsukiko stood idly by, most likely being the one that put him out of his misery. Yukito was silent for a while as he listened to Tsukiko’s words, saying she was angry at this point would be an understatement. Finally realizing that Senka had made an attack against Yokozuki, Yukito silently released his Shikai, his second sword sublimating into a mist behind his back, before using the very mist that accompanied Yokozuki as a camouflage. He had to assume that Yokozuki didn’t come here on his own, there were most likely many more of his ilk hiding, waiting for their chance to strike. Seeing as how Senka was their most powerful combatant, it would be best if she didn’t use up too much energy at the start, however given her childish impulses Yukito had to assume that would be hard to achieve, thus their best bet was to back her up and keep her from sustaining damages until the confrontation with Shiva.
[I'll edit if there's anything wrong with it.]It is through unity that we win

Yokozuki Nekkyo
Sanbantai Taichou
Yokozuki shook his head, placing a hand on his forehead and the other crossed atop of his folded elbow, he smiled and laughed. "And what is wrong with this? How else do the powerful become stronger if not to weed out the weak? If not to destroy any and all that might hinder your plans for greatness? You have a lot to learn, you truly do." Yokozuki shot Nayton's body a look, it was with no deep satisfaction to Yokozuki himself that Nayton was dead, but Shiva was more than pleased with what had transpired. "There is a difference between those who are talk and those who truly wield increible power, I assure you Shinigami, I am more than talk, I hold that which makes me able to speak so freely." Yokozuki allowed one eyebrow to elevate slightly higher than the other, giving Tsukiko and rather 'matter of fact' look. "That which I speak, I shall now make you understand. That man that you have just slain, truly you did him a great deed, but either by your hand or by the passage of time, he was going to die, his fate was sealed long before this day, with his death I shall use his body to initiate my resurrection, you killing him or allowing him to live has played no part in this story, you've only displayed the one weakness those with a heart have, pity for the suffering and for the weak, that's what makes you all so susceptible to destruction." Nayton's body floated from the ground, it began to break down into a dust which spewed from the air, it was at this time that the control on Yokozuki's body faded, he shook with confusion only for a moment, though his focus quickly changed to the group in front of him, and the strange power that was now surging from his shocked body. He looked as if he had been subjected to great torture and torment, as if he was the emboiment of everything that was disgusting in the world.
"Wh...what...what...what....what..." He couldn't stop mumbling to himself. He brought his shaking hands in front of his face, searching them over, he came to the realization of everything that had transpired, for even though he was unconcsious everything that he did under her control he was now fully aware of. "WHAT HAVE I DONE!" He screamed aloud, though it seemed to transfer quickly into screams of pain, similar to Nayton. Blood began to burst from all manner of areas over his body, it mingled with the fine powder that was in the air, another stone now became visible, it was bright pink and oval shaped to a degree, yet the top half was bigger than the bottom section. As Yokozuki's screams lessened a bright light flashed out, blinding anyone in the area for a time, no matter what they would do to shield themselves, this light could not be blocked from view, nor its potency. When it vanished, a woman, odd in appearance, though beautiful, stood among them, she smiled viciously as she looked to Yokozuki, his head hung low, before coming back up to once again stare at the shinigami. His mind was no longer possessed to the extend it was before with Shiva, he was to a point his own person again, but the influence that Shiva had on him was stronger than before, no longer possessing the stone, which now lay in Shiva's hand, along with the new one that had only recently emerged, Yokozuki was breaming with a new strength that Shiva gave to him, he was still a tool, obviously not wanting what was happening on himself, though not having a choice, he lifted up his sword. "Bankai!" He yelled vigorously, another bright light hit the group, and when it vanished, Yokozuki stood there, giant metal like wings, a floating sword and a monstrous looking tail.

 I Am Shiva As her powers had now fully regained, her eyes visibly changed from a faded gray to a brilliant crystal blue. She observed herself for a moment, looking over her arms, she slowly felt the softness of her hair once again, she looked to the sky, it was sight that nearly made her shed a tear. "It truly is something when seen through the eyes of a physical body." As her robes sifted to and fro as she gathered herself, she was not to observant of the Shinigami, for nearly five life times of man she had been sealed away, forgotten by the accursed hypocritical gods that called themselves the 'rulers of all', she was truly soaking in the thoughts of her freedom, as her plan of complete domination of all the worlds would sooner than later come into full fruition. As she contemplated all that was to commence, she couldn't for any extended period of time neglect their presence, and as she faced them, her aura was that of a being, revived and renewed from a desolate space where she was cast. "I fear I..I may have misjudged just how prodigious it would be.. to have an actual body again." Though appearing to be addressing the Shinigami, she was at this moment still talking to herself. It was only when eyes of such blue focused on them that she meant business now with the Shinigami. "To you, I extend my hand no more, for grace, I shall not allow myself to be merciful, for I am a goddess, I show mercy but few times to beings far below my stature." Allowing a steady flow of reiatsu to fall upon them, though this time it would not be dismissed ever so easily."The gods in which all place their trust, and yet make their lives known to so few, those beings that rule with an iron fist, that betray those who seek their aid, but give power to the wicked." Her eyes feel with a certain look of disgust and disregard to the Occurian's power and absolute law, only followed by her all together forgetting them, she continued.
"My power is equal and my kingdom as great, I shall fall the world of man and beast, shinigami and hollow, and decree upon them all a new order, a new kingdom for which I shall rule for all eternity, hark, the Occuria shall be no more, we are free from histories pace, we shall right a history, a new history, we are their puppets no more!" Sending her hands forcefully to the sky, it began to rain down giant boulders of hail, massively destructive, their force matched by their strength, though crumbling when nearing Yokozuki, for she still had use of this target. The coming of this storm was a mere warm up for the goddess, stroking once again her hair, allowing her fingers to run through it like silk, a powerful gust of wind shouted down from the heavens just as she released it, allowing it to flow. "Now, become one with me, become one with eternity." Levitating high into the air, her reiatsu outflow increased tenfold, even high ranked beings would feel the initial effects of this power, it was not only weightily strong, but it held an immensely cold tingle to it that chilled even the fieriest spirit. As either stone released itself into the air, Shiva called upon their power, shortly after streams of red and white energy could be seen leaving the small stones as it was absorbed into Shiva's body. She amassed so much power from the stones that she began to emit a fearsome amount of energy, though this was short live, she was only using a tiny bit of the stones powers to boost her mind control abilities. "Now, come to me, and serve me well." With the widespread gesture of her hands to either side of her body, small blueish arrows blasted forth, heading towards all that were free of her command, even to those who had already once resisted, as this time the power behind the process was far greater and would not be so easy to evade or block with mental strength.

|1068| Kazama, Kazuhiko, Ichibantai Fukutaichō 
Kazuhiko watched as the laser like weapon Tsukiko had was seemingly effortlessly deflected by the same thing as Senka's kick. Obviously the barrier was magical in nature and could deflect attacks that were powerful themselves. After all the laser sword Tsukiko was using if it was like a laser could with enough time cut through most known substances. Still Kazuhiko was unsure of the nature of her weapon and given that he was not a scientist, could surely not even begin to understand it's inner workings or anything of that nature. All he could do was make guesses. The captain (or was it former captain now? Kazuhiko couldn't really recall.) called them all misguided fools and then took on a somewhat creepy tone. Was he suddenly a woman?! As the voice that spoke through Yokozuki began talking a clear view of the man's eyes were shown. At the blue color and deathly feel they emitted, Kazuhiko deduced that the man must be possessed by this so called goddess.
Despite the power being displayed by Yokozuki up to this point Kazuhiko had to doubt this woman's claim to the title of goddess. She had power but then again to what extent did her power go? Not to mention if she continued acting through others, then she couldn't very well be all that powerful or she would just kill them all and be done with it. As the voice continued speaking suddenly the stone floated between Yokozuki's palms. What was it doing? Then suddenly Kazuhiko felt an undeniably powerful reiatsu fall down on him that took his breath away the instant it hit him. Whether this was because he had not been expecting it, or if it was just that strong Kazuhiko was unsure. Either way he could just barely breath again after his breath had been taken away. Each breath was painful almost and very labored. Damn his weakness. Wincing as he tried to move, Kazuhiko realized that were he to attempt to move it would take way to much energy to just move, and he didn't want to waste all his energy so early. Instead he simply stood there motionless and waited.
Almost as soon as the voice finished speaking through Yokozuki his captain spoke up almost in a mocking way in Kazuhiko's eyes. As she continued he had to admit that she made a good point or two. Watching her release her shikai he was instantly aware of the moving ground beneath him. Falling was inevitable however as he moved to get to his feet he realized he was no longer exposed to the monstrous reiatsu. Not to mention her release had dispelled other things. Looking on in awe towards Senka, Kazuhiko couldn't help but both admire her, and yet fear her at the same time. Such power at such a young age! Obviously he knew she wielded a great deal of power, but just how much until this point was something he was unsure of.Watching the others for a few moments he returned his attention to Yokozuki as the man seemed totally unimpressed by Senka's display of power. Yokozuki then went on to start an explanation of some kind of stone. Listening for the final explanation Kazuhiko turned towards Nayton with a shocked expression. He had the stone?
Then suddenly the man stared jerking around and squirming and he spoke of how it burned. What was going on? Watching in horror as he took on a transformation Kazuhiko gripped his zanpakutō tighter than before. As the transformation neared it's end Yokozuki spoke of ending his suffering. Kazuhiko had no real connection to the man and therefore would have made a movement to try and end his suffering, however before he could even flinch towards him Tsukiko was there and ending his suffering. Watching in sadness as the man fell to the ground and Tsukiko suffered the effects of killing someone. Listening as Tsukiko let her anger drive her to speak towards Yokozuki, Kazuhiko once again gripped his zanpakutō tighter than before. All this talking was not doing much for him. If things continued to drag out like this then more people would be killed. Shizuka moved to comfort Tsukiko and then Yokozuki went on to talk even more. As the speech came to an end and Nayton's body began to break down, Yokozuki briefly came back. The man sounded horrified by what he had been doing.
Watching as blood began to seep from everywhere on his body, and then went to the same place as Nayton's remains, Kazuhiko got another horrified look. What was happening now? Why did he not possess the strength necessary to help his allies from being hurt? Then somewhat suddenly to Kazuhiko an attractive woman stood before them. A short time afterward, Yokozuki went into bankai and stood still as if waiting for an order. Listening to Shiva talk a steady flow of reiatsu began to fall on him. Next the woman called down boulders of hail from the sky that began descending upon them all. Kazuhiko focused on avoiding any that neared him for the moment. Then a vastly strong reiatsu fell on him that was chilling to the bone. Kazuhiko actually stopped moving and rubbed his arms for warm that had seemingly left. Then as a last display of power she sent out blue arrows. Kazuhiko did his best to dodge the arrow, but given the current conditions he was inevitably caught in the chest by it.
Grabbing his head in pain with his right hand as he felt his control being stripped away he fought against it with all his will, but it seemed to be a losing battle. His left hand began to shake as he stood there. "Sōtaichō-sama please forgive me...I don't think I can...resist. It's too powerful. Don't let me become a tool. Not for her amusement. I don't want to hurt anyone." Already he slowly began losing control of his body one part at a time. As the process neared his end Kazuhiko slowly held his zanpakuto out in front of him, but had it pointed towards his chest. Then without hesitance or restraint he drove it into his right shoulder hoping the pain would bring him back to his senses. He didn't want to be the cause for the death of a fellow shinigami if he could help it.

Captain of Squad Five
Akusuna stood witness to all that was going on, incapable of doing anything to better the situation yet. His hand was constantly on his Zanpakutou's handle, waiting for the moment to strike. As Nayton suddenly transformed and collapsed, Akusuna found himself watching the others around him closely, wondering who else was in danger from such a gruesome event. It was too late for Nayton, but Akusuna had no intent to let another fall like that.
It was at this point that Shiva finally made her appearance. Akusuna watched as she rose, then felt an incredible pressure fall upon them. It wasn't the first time he had been forced to stand against such power, but it was on a completely different level than he'd experienced before. If it hadn't been for the sounds of thunder as the landed around him, Akusuna would not have even had a chance to notice the giant hail fall. He dived aside as one cratered where he stood mere moments ago. His head felt clouded and his movements were sluggish. Something was affecting his mind and preventing him from focusing properly. Although he had never felt this before, he could easily guess what it was from all that he had heard.
Jumping away from another boulder sized hail, Akusuna felt pain burst from his shoulder. He felt the small blue arrow burn it's way into his left shoulder, making him hiss with pain. It was becoming even harder to concentrate now, especially with the pain now burning into his mind. At this rate, either the boulders or the arrows would kill him. He needed to take a moment to relax and regain his strength, and he wasn't going to get it standing around. He moved over towards the other Captains, while avoiding the boulders, and stuck his hand skywards as well.
"Bakudo 73, Tozansho!" he cast, creating as large of a barrier around as many Captains as he could. The barrier would prevent the boulders from breaking through, at least, and should be safe from the arrows of Shiva for a while. Sitting upon the ground, Akusuna attempted to clear his head and dull the pain in his shoulder. He created a small door-like hole on the side of the barrier, not in direct path towards Shiva, and announced, "If you must leave the barrier, go through there. If you are wounded, I recommend staying under this cover."
With that said, Akusuna focused on trying to fight off Shiva's mental invasion, for there was no barrier to prevent that but his own mind.

Tyrus Ares
Captain, Thirteenth Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
Tyrus Ares flinched in shock as soon as he saw the Twelfth Division captain, who appeared so sudden before Nayton, and struck the man down with split-second attack that event the Thirteenth Division captain had difficulty in realizing so. His jaw fell slightly open as he saw the gravity of Tsukiko's attack; she heartlessly struck the man without hesitation. Perhaps, she did have one but it looked like she had not thought about it. After all, Tsukiko was a soldier of the Gotei elite and it was necessary to ease Nayton's suffering. After a moment of shock, Tyrus' expression was replaced of sadness that made him frown slightly as he saw the figure of what-was Nayton topple at the ground. Kei Aoi once told Tyrus that grieving was necessary and that crying was normal; well, Tyrus was not going to cry but he was grieving already. And with that, grieving once was enough. He turned to look at the pitiful image of Yokozuki, who remained mind-manipulated, and despised him for being so feeble-minded.
Tyrus strode forward to Tsukiko's side and brushed his right hand to her left arm in recognition of her semi-breakdown. It was true. It was harsh. Tsukiko was truly not that cold-hearted to kill a man who joined them for a moment. Nayton did not deserve it. Tsukiko did not deserve it. Luckily, Shizuka was there to be for Tsukiko but he knew all too well that the Seventh Division captain was on the verge, too. But all in all, the event that caused all of their suffering rooted to one spot: Shiva. Tyrus then pulled his katana and then made a perfect battle stance as he glared at Yokozuki.
Then, he become completely expressionless as Yokozuki began yet another speech about the weak and strong; about weeding them out and leaving the strong. Tyrus remained silent all those times and listened to the man's continuance of explaining the theories of a great society, or world, in that matter. Tyrus watched him an emotionless manner that betrayed everyone, even to those whom he knew very well, of his true feelings. His late mentor was the only one who had the ability to read Tyrus' expression during these times and Tyrus was defeated on how the former Fourth Division captain did so.
He looked once as Nayton's body suddenly floated and then disintegrated into dust and then thought that a great man just disappeared along with the air. Pity. But he promised that he would never grieve again. Tyrus then turned to Yokozuki only to find the man baffled on what to do; the control over Yokozuki was lifted although the Thirteenth Division captain wondered until when will the curse be lifted from him. And then...
Tyrus' eyes widened as the enemy's every orifice, no, all parts of his body overflowed with blood. The Thirteenth Division captain flinched as he watched the torture of Yokozuki and was blinded for a moment by a bright flash. Then, he wondered for the longest of time as he saw the new arrival of the scene. Yokozuki, once again bound by Shiva's control, went into Bankai and then shifted into a winged warrior with a monstrous-looking tail.
Shiva took the form of an extremely beautiful woman with long hair and a strange glow upon her. Tyrus stared at her for a moment as she began a conversation with herself. Once again, his jaw fell open once she motioned to the Shinigami and then explained the nature of her arrival. A new world order. That was her plan. She moved like a silk but emanated of a sinister aura despite the goddess feeling. Other might find her presence too wondrous to behold but not to Tyrus; she was like an antagonistic figure of a highly-climatic novel that would always aim to destroy the hero until the end of the story. But sadly, this event was not a story for Shiva was real before all of them.
His mind snapped of its deep thoughts when the sky rained of giant boulders of tremendous strength. "Disintegrate!" He called out loud and then with a short wave of his katana, it turned into a dagger with a wavy-natured blade. "Disintegration Ward!" He yelled out loud and at once, he projected a burst of reiatsu around him and created a circular bubble. When the very first of the boulders struck the bubble, they crumbled into thousands of pieces as they underwent an swift molecular deconstruction just as Tyrus wanted them to. It was also that time when Akusuna, who happened to be as swift as Shiva in her attack, conjured the seventy-third Bakudo, which is named Tozansho or Inverse Mountain Crystal. The barrier formed and everyone around Akusuna's area was protected by the Bakudo. Tyrus nodded in recognition of the captain's fast reaction. "Thank you, Akusuna-taichou." He said and then turned once again to Shiva only to be engulfed by her bone-chilling spiritual power. Tyrus Ares trembled for a moment before realizing that being scared was not an option for the Gotei elite.
He turned just in time, too, as Shiva made a widespread gesture of her hands and shot small blueish arrows. Tyrus Ares' eyes widened just in time as the arrows struck and then his mind went...
... blank.

(Sluggy post, I'll edit it if there's anything wrong with it)Mikito Sikijiro, Young Sanseki of Squad 13
--------------------------------------
Mikito gasped as the overwhelming reiatsu began to wash over him like a merciless tidal wave, he sank down to his knees and tried to fight against it, with all of his strength he pushed against the reiatsu to hs onees, saliva dripping from his mouth from all the effort from staying up.
"Can't... Move...."
Mkito saw that he was under a shadow of something very large and looked over his shoulder to see what was above, only to see a giant piece of hail whirling his way. Mikito quickly tried to shunpo but an arrow pierced through his leg before he could move, and he fell back down feeling helpless as a puppy, "Ares...sama..." gasped Mikito as he tried to move. 'GET UP!' Screamed Takai-Usagi, 'Please get up!' pleaded Takai-Usagi once again in his head. Mikito mumbled something, amd tried to crawl, his head was hazy from fighting against Shiva's control, and he was becoming weak from the spiritual pressure that almost devoured him.
Asukana's barrier didn't reach him, and the boulder was coming fast, Mikito was losing his power and the fight against Shiva's mind control, Mikito's mind was losing before a faint voice screamed in rage and despair, 'Mikito!'
Mikito momentairly regained his senses and released his shikai, his zanpakotou broke into pieces and reformed around his legs and arms morphing clawed gauntlets and boots with geometrical patterns. Mikito dashed to the right before the boulder hit him, and he fell to the ground, he used alot of energy just to move his body. 'Not yet Mikito, not yet!' reassured Takai-Usagi in his head, Mikito saw a few more boulders falling and his mind moved on it's own, he grunted and extended his ability a bit more, "Ban...kai..." The shikai that he released broke into a frenzy of ribbons and started forming around Mikito, his appearance drastically changed into a very strange armor and he rushed over to Liunen and Unohana as the pelt of his bankai extended like a parachute and shrouded itself around the both of them like a shield, as the fur on the pelt was as defensive as steel, the arms of the pelt wrapped around Liunen and Unohana and pulled them under the pelt of his bankai. Suddenly, he began running on all fours like a rabbit towards Asukana's barrier, dodging the boulders quickly and expertly while he was gradually losing conrtol over his body, as they reached the barrier, the arms of the pelt pulled Unohana and Liunen out from under the pelt of his bankai. The pelt shrinked back to it's normal size when the frenzy of arrows stopped, and then the pelt melted back to his zanpakotou, and then the bankai pelt disappeared, revealing two blue arrows sticking out of his back, and having Unohana and Liunen unscratched. Grinning as he slowly turned around towards Ares he laughed, "See...? I...protected them... I..." Mikito fell foward limply as he the pupils of his eyes disappeared, leaving a cold, hallow brown that were his eyes.
'MIKITO!'
Screamed Takai-Usagi, she could feel Mikito change, he was going under Shiva's control, Mikito's eyes lit up everytime his zanpakotou said his name, but they reverted to the glassy stare everytime.
He was still going under Shiva's control.
Was there any hope left?
