The shinigami wasn't exactly happy with his small victory, he had wanted to cut the arrancar in two but had forgotten the full effects of his fellow captains bankai, still it did not matter as he was not even noticed by the hollow woman. As soon as he finished his attack on her she went straight for Gengyo clearly completely focused on breaking his bankai, this had Mana guessing that she felt threatened with her abilities sealed. Still the elder captain didn't care if this bankai was active or not, if it was to be released he would simply be able to activate shikai and really cause some harm. It seemed his wish was heard by Gengyo as the captain used kido to try and restrain the arrancar while releasing the bankai abilities, another kido master waited outside the barrier ready to seal Esmerelda as well leaving Mana with the job of protecting an exposed Gengyo from any potential backfire. "Teach what it means to be unshakable, bring the world crumbling to your feet, cry out in rage and power, leave no traces behind Jishinmusume" despite his words it seemed as if nothing had changed about his zanpakuto. If one got close enough to the captain they would release how wrong they were as his body was emitting powerful vibrations with the ability to make craters and cause earthquakes if he saw fit. Next thing anyone knew he was in front of Gengyo placing himself in-between the espada and the captain and becoming his soul defense as he recovered himself from his earlier kido spell. As a defensive fighter he made no moves to attack the arrancar, hopefully the two shinigami's kido would be enough to keep the espada confined until they could think of something else.

『Shizuko Yukimori』
Shizuko felt an outpouring of energy as Captain Gengyo's Bankai ended. Yes, it was good she was here - the strength of the Reiatsu of whatever being he had held inside was easily past that of Captain-level.
Luckily, Captain Gengyo had managed to see her, and gave the command to drop her Kido. Unfortunately, if she left his field of vision, he would once again lose memory of her, and would be unable to see her Kido unless it directly interacted with him, meaning he would need to touch it.
It was good news, however, that these same things would effect the being that was the intended target. not being able to see the large pillars would drastically reduce her ability to dodge them.
Shizuko finally allowed the five orbs to sprout upward, before bringing them back down into a circle around her clasped fists, which she then slammed into the ground. Using every ounce of control she had at her disposal, Shizuko managed to angle the dropping pillars diagonally along one of the spokes of the Noble Eightfold Paths, adding the velocity-boosting properties of the support Bakudo to the projectiles.
The instant the pillars made contact - either with the Arrancar, or the ground - Shizuko dropped fully to the ground. She was already injured, in Bankai, and was about to engage in what might very likely be a battle of Reiatsu strength with a being with much more available power than her. She kept still, wanting to conserve as much energy as possible to maintain her Kido.
Gengyo was a slippery little thing, barely staying just out of reach, when suddenly the barrier dropped. As it did he fired a kidō at the espada, at the same moment she had a fun idea. While the bakudō flew at her, Esmeralda would open a Gargantua around her blade, using a similar technique as when she activated the pillars to hide her blade beyond the rukongai.
With her blade gone the woman would let the kidō hit before hearing Gengyo yell for someone to drop a spell. Fallowing his gaze she was surprised to see a girl she'd not felt before, though her face showed no sign. Thn looking back to the 6th captain the girl slipped out of her mind leaving just a gut feeling danger was in that way.
She made no attempt to dodge the second kidō, much like the first one she made a show of seeing it and not moving. The shinigami would be able to tell she allowed herself to be caught without much effort. While the kidō were pinning her down, Esmeralda noticed the masked man's sword had a change in energy. It no longer was steady as the sealed blades were, it was pulsing or vibrating. Did he use sound? Wind? Shockwaves? Or just vibrations? She'd need to find out later. Laying under the pillars she just laughed, "guess you caught me boys." She said in the same mocking tone as always.

『Shizuko Yukimori』
To say the least, Shizuko was suspicious. From her (rather poor) vantage point, it was obvious that the Arrancar had allowed herself to be hit, and was making no attempt to fight the bindings. However, now that she was successfully contained, Shizuko was confident in Captain Gengyo's ability to hold her by himself.
With that, Shizuko dropped her Bankai, allowing memories of herself to re-enter the mind of others. Sighing, she closed her eyes and relaxed, concentrating on her breathing. Her Reiatsu could once more be sensed, and hopefully she would receive medical care soon. As it was, she was content waiting for the much more urgent business of the captured enemy to be dealt with.
[OOC: Broke posting order with this short post, cuz Shizuko needs to drop Bankai and get some medical care.]
Gengyo, breathing heavily as he walked over and resealed Tsukurite Yasuragi while putting him back into his scabbard, gave a nod of thanks to Mana before releasing one Hell Butterfly to the 4th Division and one to the Captain-Commander himself. The message for the 4th Division? 6th Seat Shizuko Yukimori was in dire need of their services. The one bound for the head hotdog stated simply that they had managed to capture an "Arrancar" who called herself Esmeralda, the so-called Primera Espada...whatever that meant.
As he sat himself down in front of the Arrancar, Gengyo seemed almost a different person. He was way too calm. Gengyo knew full well that her sword had not disappeared on accident; she'd probably sent it back to her superiors to indicate she'd been taken captive. Also, he'd been using Kido way too long not to know full well that she'd allowed herself to be hit by those seals. On second thought, while she was still here, he murmured an incantation and very casually said,"By the by, "Bakudo #99 Part 1: Kin."And right on cue, the straps wrapped around her body as she lay there, and for extra insurance, some extra was pinned to the ground by those exceedingly strong and heavy weights. If she'd had any plans of breaking free of two high-level Bakudo, she'd never bust out now that he'd added the second strongest binding he was legally allowed to use. Then he began talking to her."Right now there's two ways we can do this," he said, not even acknowledging her false manners. He was calm, cool, and collected; even being genuinely polite towards Esmeralda despite her being the enemy.
"Either you cooperate with us, tell us what we want to know, and we get our Hollow Extermination specialist to kill you quickly and painlessly once you've outlived your usefulness....or you don't cooperate with us, we still find out what we want to know, only instead of killing you mercifully, we just hand you over to the Research and Development guys and you will spend the rest of your natural life as nothing but a guinea pig for whatever twisted experiments, tests, and studies strike their fancy, stripped of whatever dignity you may possess. The choice is entirely yours, Esmeralda."
As he sat there, waiting for backup to arrive, Gengyo could feel his own stamina starting to waver. He was nowhere near his limit, but he made the mental note that he might wanna stick to the lower levels for a bit.

Boss, it's Shikitei-taicho. Seijitsu-taicho, 6th Seat Yukimori-chan, and myself have captured an Arrancar. She called herself "Esmeralda de la Vega Garcia" and made mention of herself as the "Primera Espada." She is secured with multiple high-level Bakudo. Please advise...oh, and by the way, 3rd Division Lieutenant Takashi-kun and 10th Division Lieutenant Krin-kun are here with us.
Binks Sake
This is Shikitei-taicho of the 6th Division. 2nd Division 6th Seat Shikzuko Yukimori requires immediate attention. Simply follow my reiatsu from this Hell Butterfly to find us.

Thoughts: What's going on? OOC:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
Lieutenant Lina Carmine had been inside of her barracks writing up reports when she received a Hell Butterfly with a message telling her that the Sixth seat of Division Two needed immediate attention. So of course Lina quickly stopped what she was doing and ran as fast as she could, following the reiatsu left by the Hell Butterfly. It only took minutes before she arrived as her attention was drawn to the area around them. It looked liked quite the battle had occurred and she quickly took notice of the woman that was being interrogated by Captain Gengyo while she saw Captain Seijitsu was making sure the woman remain where she was, and then Lina saw the Sixth Seat Shizuko in bad condition. It was at this point that the Lieutenant decided to make herself known"I came as fast as I could Captain Gengyo!"she said before quickly making her way over to Shizuko as she knelt down and placed her med kit beside her. Lina quickly began to pull out the basic items she'd need"Captain's, I'll get to the two of you if it's needed as soon as possible OK?"Lina called out lightly before looking at Shizuko"Please tell me, where does it hurt the most? Does anything feel out of place at all?"she asked, deciding to get a first hand response before doing anything else.

『Shizuko Yukimori』
Shizuko groaned lightly before speaking. "Anything out of place? Perhaps my intestines." She allowed a small smile to slip onto her face. Her family had always been believers in the idea that you should not let your pain control you.
"I was attacked by one of the giant Hollows. A portal opened underneath me as I was attacking another, and I was caught off guard. My stomach was hit, and I believe there is some internal damage. As I have very little understanding of Kaido, but still had a job to do, I stemmed the bleeding by cauterizing the wounds with Hado #31, Shakkahō." Indeed, if examined, one could see that the flesh of Shizuko's abdomen was not only torn and cut in several places, but also burnt and charred.
Shizuko stopped speaking - she had given the healer an accurate summary of the causes of her wounds, and saw no reason to continue.

The tenth division captain didn't seen the least bit happy with the outcome, the arrancar was caught but she was still keeping her cocky outlook on the whole situation. Gengyo was being far too easy on her for the liking of Mana, he was the warden of all prisons in soul society and he also enjoyed punishing the wicked although his cruel side was one rarely shown to others outside of his division. The elder captain had seemingly lost his cool at the understanding that rukongai was abolished, or at least part of it had been, he wondered how many hundreds or thousands of deaths might have occured, all of them supposedly under the protection of the gotei thirteen whatever good that did them. With a sour face the captain approached Gengyo and Esmeralda after the sixth division captain's speech on how she could be treated, he stood between them with a stone cold gaze. "No. There will be no outcome where this arrancar gets a painless death, I'll make sure of that... she's gotten off too easily already, this abomination isn't getting any mercy or guest treatment here!" as he spoke he let the tip of his sword rest on the hollows head. The vibrations coming off of his blade were constant and powerful, rattling Esmerelda's mind and making her capture a lot less comfortable than it had been before. The captain made no sign of halting his actions, he hoped that if this wretch actually had a brain it would suffer irreparable damage after he was done, if not he'd at least slow her brain function and limb function for awhile. He pressed the tip down to increase the vibrations wondering how quickly her regeneration could help her get passed the terrible sensation that must be overtaking her. Leaning down closer to the woman he raised his mask to show a grim smile that promised only pain to her if she was to be stuck here, he seemed to be enjoying himself. "I'm going to fight tooth and nail to get you in my custody, and once I have you I'll bring you into my strongest cell, in solitude I'll practice my bankai's strength against you, think of it as my gift to you, nobody has ever seen my bankai before, at least nobody still alive.. I can already think of such ways I could use it to torture you, ways to maximizie the pain you feel... then you can heal and I can begin it all over again, the only sensation you'll know for the rest of your existence will be the pain I bring you, this I can promise you" at this moment Mana didn't look like an upstanding captain of the gotei thirteen, his obsession with violence betrayed him. If he got his way Esmeralda would never know peace, it seems the news she had brought him had affected him more greatly than some may think. It would also seem the rumors of Mana Seijitsu and the tenth division's cruelty were not rumors, he could be a very dangerous man and it could raise questions as to what actually went on beneath the tenth division grounds, or in it's cells.
Listening to the options given to her by Gengyo, Esmeralda couldn't help but laugh a little. "Dignity I'm a hollow, we are no more then flames in the world, we burn up and eat everything in our path. No dignity no love no compassion. We devour all that lies before us. If you don't like fire you could consider me a snake, but I prefer fire." She said whistling a little tune, as the masked man. She had kept an eye on him and his dancing blade this whole time. So as he moved the tip to touch her head, she began moving her head with the vibrations lessening the pain. It was a tiring process, moving one body part at sonido speed like this was far more effort then moving one's whole body. Smiling at him, "so Gengyo's into bondage and your into SnM huh masked cutie. Wait no Warden Masked Cutie? No I got it, Warden Cutie! Well could you lower the vibrations my back has a nasty knot in it." Even though her words kept their politeness and mocking, her voice would reveal a bit of fatigue.
The little whilst she had done caused one of the hollows to leave while the remaining 19 attacked the two captains and 3 lieutenants with more vigor. Ten hollow attacked Gengyo and Mana in hopes of freeing their commander, six attacked the squad 10 and 3's lieutenant, while the remaining three went for Shizuko and the 4th lieutenant.

Thoughts: That should do it..... OOC:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
Lina listened to Shizuko very carefully before nodding her head and reached into the med kit and pulled out a small headrest and placed it on the ground, slowly moving Shizuko to lay down on the headrest so that she's have better access to the wound. Her hands began to glow as she began the healing process. One hand remained a hair length away from touching the wound, healing the deep internal damage while the hand farther from the wound was healing the nasty outer damage. Lina was thinking of how this woman even survived with such a nasty wound, however instead Lina gave her a soft smile"I must say, cauterizing the wound was probably one of the best things you could have done...."she complemented as she glanced towards her face for a moment"I know some people who would have just kept on running into the fight with their guts hanging out!"Lina said as she continued healing the horrible wound. This was one thing she learned when joining Squad 4, never let the patient know just how bad the wound truly was. Keep a positive air about you no matter what, stress would only hurt the wounded in the end.
Finally After some time Lina slowly removed her hands from the wound and patted it down with disinfectant before wrapping it with some gauze and medical tape"That should do it!"Lina announced before looking at Shizuko"I'd recommend staying away from battling for awhile. While I did heal most of the wound, the rest of the healing must be done naturally, I'd even recommend avoiding strenuous training for a little bit....."she explained, giving a little bit of a "Doctors recommendation" on what she should or shouldn't do.

And this was why Gengyo could not be in the 13th Division. He had far too much compassion, even to the point of feeling sorry for Esmeralda when she told him basically that emotions meant nothing to her. Still a child in many respects, he was, with his apparent hopeless naiveté.
He was just about to remind Mana of his place in the world -- for his remarks were what Gengyo believed to be inhumane torture -- when the Hollows came back for more. s**t! He'd forgotten about them. He'd been so distracted by the ESpada that he'd almost totally neglected to remember that they still had a problam to deal with. And of the ones remaining (which was far too many in Gengyo's opinion) ten were headed his way; no doubt in an effort to free Esmeralda. As unlikely as it was to break the sort of bonds he had her in without perhaps another high level Arrancar, Gengyo never took chances and quickly re-released Tsukurite Yasuragi to Shikai and intercepted the two that were closest. As he met them, being slightly airborne, Gengyo spun around and delivered a crushing spinning kick with his heel to one and sent it to the ground, momentarily stunned but still not gone. The other one, as it closed, he smacked with a hard backhanded fist sort of thing, and knocked it a few meters away, similarly shell shocked. Jesus, these things were impossibly strong. Almost all of these Hollows had obviously taken an insane amount of punishment from the Shinigami and yet the Shinigami were in desperate need of some training or these were some jacked up breed of super-Hollows. Currently he was feeling like he'd rather still be fighting Esmeralda. At least he could actually hit her and know he'd done something.

『Shizuko Yukimori』
Shizuko sighed with relief as she felt her out-of-place intestines being mended by the Lieutenant. "The next best thing, maybe, but an adequate substitute for Kaido it is not." She joked, relieved as the burning sensation of her self-inflicted 'healing' faded. "If strenuous training is out of the question, then perhaps at a later date you would be inclined to teach me Kaido? I admit, in the past I have held the healing arts in dubious regard, but feeling the effects firsthand... well, there is something to be said for not having to resort to such extremes as I did."
Watching as the three Hollows attacked, and the way Lieutenant Carmine acted as her shield, Shizuko felt a pang of guilt. She did not like to need protection. She wasn't unique in this regard - she doubted very many Shinigami enjoyed feeling powerless when facing their enemies. Reaching into her meager stores of remaining energy, Shizuko began chanting. "Turn the seas, spin the clouds, twist like fire, and warp the earth. Hado #56. Kō Kusukuryū Kunō!" Four spirals of energy launched from her outstretched hand, impacting one of the Hollows. It's limbs began to warp, and Shizuko knew that it's insides were reacting int eh same way. It bellowed in pain,but Shizuko ignored it - she was not in a particularly merciful mood, which was why she chose one of the less lethal, but far more painful options in terms of Kido.

Thoughts: I have to protect Shizuko! OOC:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
Lina had gasped in surprise when the Hallows had attacked stood up, drawing her zanpakuto as she glared at the hallows approaching her and Shizuko. She however was surprised when Shizuko completely undermined what she had just recommended"Shizuko I understand you want to help but please don't push yourself!"Lina said as she glared at how the hallows had avoided Shizuko's attack'These guys are cut from a different cloth then most other hallows...I'll have to...'she quickly nodded to herself as she placed her hand on the blade of her zanpakuto"Light the sky with a purifying blaze...Lumière!"she called as her blade changed to a fluctuating black and white appearance, although not much else seemed to change about the blade besides the coloring. Once the Hallows were within her range she swung her blade at the air in front of her, releasing a black flame that went towards the hallows and managed to hit one of them and it was quickly wiped out as the other two charged towards her. Lina then held her position as she prepared herself for another attack.
