 Yuan's eye narrowed a bit and his smirk shrank. He was a proud warrior... but he was no fool. In measuring the odds, he had to consider that Xeion had just been healed, which made him start to doubt his right arm, still scared from the cero that had been flung back at him. And he had already used his Insight three times, not to mention a Gran Rey Cero. Yuan was downright frowning now. He snorted a bit, glaring at Xeion with his confident smile. You don't know everything I am capable of, so don't go jumping to conclusions just yet. Yuan held his right arm straight out to the side, his False Zanpakuto clutched in his hand. Irradie Hakuya! The blade would seem to burst into a white light laced with black energy sparking through it. The energy would run across Yuan's body, turning his hair dark and covering him with his Hollow armor. His right arm, in particular, had grown in size, and an odd crystal seemed to be lodged in it's palm. The armor ran from claw-like feet up to his thighs and formed in an odd pattern over his chest that resembled eyes. His shoulders and arms were covered, and odd blades seemed to run up, out of his back and hang around him like some sort of dark regalia. The remnants of his mask, which had surrounded his normal-looking left eye stretched across to wrap his black right eye. Lets try this once more shall we? Yuan said, a more serious tone in his voice this time.

Xeion nodded to Yuan-san's proposal, his eyes squinting, giving a more serious look, behind his deep, blue shades. Just as previously, he went into the 'showdown' stance, positioning his body for optimal angling and speed in order to perform that one move that would be able to bring this fight to a close once and for all. Now Xeion knew why Yuan-san was able to dodge most of his attacks -- it was his eyes that helped him maneuver through every non-lethal move he pulled at him. Impressive use of technique, though now that he revealed his secret, it was like he had revealed to him the blueprint of his defeat.
When Xeion manipulated the dimensions around him, Xeion hastened the time-stream around him, giving him a much faster movement speed this time around, a total of four times his current speed. If Yuan-san's eye can see into the future, Xeion knew that there was no way to defeat him using conventional methods of melee attacks at his usual speed. To counter that, Xeion simply devised a simple plan in order to get around that kind of handicap -- move so fast that even though Yuan-san can predict when and where his strikes were coming from, his brain wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed he was going. In addition, Xeion also had one thing up his sleeve which would prove to be the most devastating, yet non-lethal, move he had in store for Yuan-san.
At once, Xeion reinforced his sword-hand with a mixture of cosmic energy and reiatsu energy, preparing to use another series of Silent Edge, but this time around, were much faster considering that he was already in a dimension with an alternate time-stream. A hastened time stream. "It was a nice match, Yuan-san," murmured Xeion to himself, for he knew that everything would be over in a flash. Literally.
Taking a step forward, Xeion pushed off into a shunpo with four times the speed, appearing right in front of Yuan-san before he could even finish blinking. In minuscule span of time, Xeion knew that the fight was going to be over. Although Yuan-san would probably know when and where the sword strikes will be coming from, just like before, there's probably no telling as to whether he can even dodge every single one of Xeion's slashes, even with his powers of prediction. Then, in one, fierce heartbeat, it began. Xeion's final move in his fight against Yuan-san. Yuan-san was probably able to hear its name just before the move began. Xeion called it, "Chrono Slicer".
There is a phenomenon in the scientific world known as 'Over-Rev'. Human eyes can capture objects at an incredible rate of 300 frames per second, meaning that they capture a single image of the world every 0.003 seconds then send the information to the brain. In reality, since the brain must give off directions while processing huge quantities of information at such high speeds, it can only process up to about 80 frames per second. However, in certain kinds of situations where it can see that a threat to its life becomes close, such as with Xeion's attack at eight times its usual speed (since Silent Edge attacks already allow Xeion to attack at four times his attack speed, adding the hastened time to it would amount to eight times the speed of a normal sword-slash), the brain automatically shuts down all information and processes all 300 frames. However, the human body, even a highly-trained one, is unable to keep up with this accelerated process, as the physiological limit of a human's muscles has a reflex time of 0.2 seconds. Compared to the eyes, the muscle is very, very slow. With this in mind, this can explain the human phenomenon where a single second feels like 10 seconds or even a minute long. In that stage, it feels as though one's limbs are frozen. As if time has stopped.
In addition to this information, Xeion was now performing slashes at eight times his usual speed, and along with the Silent Edge's properties beefing up his, already hastened strike speed, it means that, with respect to the physiological limit of human muscle tissue, Xeion slashes Yuan-san every 0.0002 seconds, even faster than the rate human eyes can process things. Even though Xeion knew Yuan-san's eyes weren't normal and it may or may not have the ability to process more frames than the human eye or even information about the direction of an attack four seconds into the future, it didn't matter. Xeion's slashes now were simply too quick for even the most trained human to react against.
Although this attack might sound omnipotent in nature, this technique still has its limits as Xeion could only maintain this attack for a maximum of one second before his muscles give out due to the strain of force-performing beyond their physiological limit, and Xeion then would be subjected to a series of incredibly painful muscle cramps, but by that time, Xeion had already slashed Yuan-san 5000 times. Of course, Xeion only aimed for the parts of Yuan-san's body that won't give him any fatal wounds, and even though Yuan-san's armor was thick and gave him ample protection, his sword-strikes incorporated Silent Edge attacks which are infused with cosmic energy, allowing these types of sword strikes to bend dimensions themselves and reach their target. One can say that those who are attacked with Silent Edge slashes are 'destined' to receive it no matter what. This method of injury ignores the target's defenses, henceforth armor, magical protection, and anything else are useless against it. However, Silent Edge attacks can still be guarded or parried by using swords and other hard objects, just like any sword strike, but these types of cases are rather rare, and only the most highly-skilled warriors have a chance of accomplishing such a feat, as Silent Edge attacks usually reach up to incredible speeds, demonstrated when Xeion clashed with the Gran Rey Cero. Coupled with the fact that these Silent Edge attacks were being done in a hastened time environment, there is no way of guarding against such incredible, one may even say absurd, speeds.
No matter what Yuan-san had, the attacks were simply too fast to avoid. Nobody would blame him if he were to fall by this time though. He put up quite a fight and Xeion recognized him and his power, not to mention the unique ability he had. It was just that Xeion wanted to end this fight as quickly and as peacefully as he can so that the other four Arrancar may leave in peace and Xeion wouldn't need to have to injure them any more. Hopefully, the other three Arrancar would see this show of strength and think twice of proceeding if their plans, if they planned to do so at all now they've witnessed something as incredible as that.

((Considering that Xeion would find it difficult to move in the next post...I'm not sure he can. Still, I would try and think up of a realistic way to get over that. Oh, and thank you, Yori-san.))

((Sooo... I'll just make my post as if nothing changed then?))
The speed exhibited by Xeion was amazing. Yuan was able to keep up with him with his eyes, Insight wasn't his only ability, and he was using that as well. But it was impossible for him to keep up and evade or defend. However, Xeion was unaware of Yuan's true power. Hakuya, Yuan's resureccion gave him a power known as Fukushahadō (Radiation Surge). As Xeion charged him, Yuan wouldn't have time to do much, but he didn't have to do much. Yuan merely opened his claw-like right hand. Not even bothering to lift it, a loud bang rang through the area and the bright white light laced with black energy shot out of Yuan's hand in an powerful wave. Everything in front of Yuan would be encompassed in the energy, shot out in a cone outward. Everything the energy touched, would suffer damage from rapid internal combustion. Like going through a powerful nuclear microwave. However, Xeion's fast attack would serve him well. Though Yuan's upper chest and shoulders had armor to help lessen the blows from Xeion's blade, his abdomen and sides took the full attack. As Yuan fell to his knees, his resureccion crumbling and reforming into his now broken blade, the Fukushahadō would be cut off, likely before it became mortal. Xeion's powerful control over the energies around him would also likely serve to aid him in surviving the blast. Then, something unexpected happened. Yuan caught himself on the hilt end of his halved blade. He himself was surprised. Very surprised actually. That he wasn't dead was amazing to him. It seemed that Xeion hadn't aimed to kill him.

The three arrancar who all stood by the side while the battle between the other, unfamiliar arrancar raged on until its climax which only happened in just a blink of an eye. The three arrancar began to sweat out of worry and fear. For the first time in their lives, they were worried that they had bit on something more than they could chew as the man whom they saw before them, the man who wielded his magnificent blade with such deadly grace, defeated the other arrancar in just a split second. They also feared that the man himself was a threat to their master, Aizen's, plans. His power was dangerous, a prominent threat to his kind. If they were to just leave him there, the man would surely become much stronger. They were in luck though as the man, tired from exerting himself in that final attack, made him weak. But still, seeing as how much power and skill the man had, they knew not to rest on their laurels just yet.
"Very impressive..." "...young man..." "...though it's too bad you have to die," said the three arrancar in chronological order, each activating their resurrecions after saying their parts. The first one shouted "Bite," the second, "Smash," and the third, "Stomp". After they had finished releasing their respective resurrecions, they went near each other and assimilated with each others' bodies, forming a giant bat-like hollow which immediately took to the skies after they had finished forming. The hollow bat, looking down from the sky, then spoke. It's voice was like three voices all speaking at the same time. "It seems as though you value this place and the town in the horizon. What would happen though if I let you choose which one is more important to you...," murmured the creature then snickered, flying off to Karakura Town with great speed.

Masato walks through the gates a waves to the guards. Taking that long walk up the driveway gave him time to think about what he had to do in the next couple of days. He was tired, dirty, smelly, and just wanted some alone time. The last couple of days had been hard on him and a nice hot bath and a bottle of Ky's best red wine where just what Masato needed.
Making his way to the main enterance Masato enters the building and is greeted by one of the staff members. Masato says, "I'm going up to my room to run a hot bath. Please have one of the staff bring up one of Ky's best bottles of red wine from the celler, a chilled glass, and one of my favorite cigars. I don't want to be bothered for the next 24 hours understand?" The staff member shakes his head yes and turns to carry out Masato's orders.
Masato makes his way upstairs and down the hall to his room. It has been a long time since he was home per say. He was gone for three years on his training quest and then just as he returned to the mansion, Ky had his training exercise so Masato hadn't been to his room for a long time. Openning the door and walking in the room looked the same as when he left it. Ky's staff took care of everything for him. The room was kept clean and new sheets where on the bed for him.
Masato goes up to the double doors and opens them and steps out onto his balcony. Letting the fresh air hit his face, Masato goes back into his room and starts the hot bath water. There was a knock at his door and a staff member comes in with the wine and his cigar. Masato thanks the staff member and dismisses him.
Masato drops all his dirty cloths to the floor and get's into the bath. Popping the cork on the wine bottle Masato take a long drink of wine right from the bottle and smiles. Letting the hot water wash away the last couple of days .....

Xeion skidded to a stop after he had finished with the attack. Although he noticed that there was a spark that came from Yuan-san's hand just a short while ago, he was simply moving too fast to notice anything else. Of course, just as Yuan-san would figure it out, the dense composition of the cosmic energies which made up the hastened time dimension around him acted like barriers as well, but since they had absorbed the high amounts of energy that came from Yuan-san's attack, along with the fact that Xeion was totally weak now, it would soon be clear that the hastened time dimension wouldn't be able to sustain itself without support.
Slowly, the dimensions around Xeion began to distort and the mirage-like distortion soon faded away into cosmic energy particles which scattered into the atmosphere before disappearing completely. While in a 'showdown' end pose, Xeion could feel the muscle crams start to kick in. Thrusting Elena into the ground and leaning on her for support, Xeion grit his teeth, bearing with the pain he had to endure. It was like his tendons were being squished in a red-hot vice as the feeling of the intense muscle contractions, which caused the muscle tissue to rub against each other at high speeds, producing the burning feeling Xeion was feeling, overwhelmed his body. This time around, pain was the price to pay to defeat an opponent without killing him, but even so, Xeion smiled. He was happy.
The smile he had beaming from his face disappeared though when he sensed, and saw, the three other arrancar transform into a giant creature, hell-bent on making his day worse. With the monster's words, Xeion grit his teeth; yet again was he faced with another predicament where things just kept on coming and coming, even though Xeion tried his best to stop them. When it rains, it pours, as the saying goes. Seeing the bat fly off to the town, Xeion thought of following it to where it was, but not before doing something first.
Turning around, Xeion slowly made his way toward the heavily injured body of Yuan-san, even though moving meant the pain he was feeling would get worse. As soon as he reached Yuan-san's body, Xeion, while leaning on Elena, placed his left palm onto Yuan-san's body. Green, healing reiatsu started to flow out of his palm and into Yuan-san, healing the damage done to him by his previous move, but slower than usual, as the healing reiatsu came in small portions because of the damage Xeion had sustained and also to the fact that he couldn't get enough concentration because the intense pain distracted him from healing Yuan-san as quickly as possible. But even so, he still tried his best to heal Yuan-san and alleviate him of the pain he was feeling. It was Xeion's nature, no matter how strange it might seem. "That was a good match, Yuan-san," whispered Xeion, smiling for a bit.

((Lol, Maybe you have been, perhaps you are that old, but I guarantee that I am not as young as you seem to think I am. And when you said "bring me a chilled glass" I naturally assumed you meant a chilled glass of wine.))
Yuan kneeled as he was healed by Xeion. Feeling his wounds close and the pain fade. Yuan's fist clutched around his hilt. As Xeion finished, Yuan pushed up off the ground and spun around, bringing the short, broken blade to Xeion's throat. WHO THE ******** DO YOU THINK I AM!! I'm not one of your damn shinigami allies! I am your enemy! Shinigami treat Hollows like animals! Why the hell should I treat you any differently!?! Yuan glared at Xeion as he held his blade close to his throat. After a few minutes, he snorted, frowning and lowered his broken blade. He bent down, picking up his blindfold and covering his mismatched eyes and mask. Tsk! Someday that sentimentality of yours is going to get you killed. And you won't get any tears out of me Xeion-kun. Yuan was still beat up pretty bad. It was time to pull a retreat. Snapping, Yuan opened a Garganta. Before entering, he looked back. Watch out. Cause the next time I see you I'll kill you. And don't forget what I said before. Someday, the whole Gotei 13 will know my name. The day you hear my name spoken throughout Sereitei, will be the day you know I have surpassed you. With that, Yuan stepped into the Garganta, closing it behind him.
