 桜木 " Nu" Mitsuru Naohito [二番隊] 「人は...大切な何かを守りたいと思った時に本当に強くなれるものなんです」
It was clear that Arian was now nothing more then an animal. To brush aside such a high level kido and still remain fighting, it seemed this wasn't a fight Mitsuru could win simply with endurance. Hell, if it came down to just bare endurance, he had her beat in spades. Peering over the corner of the building she was hiding behind, she could only watch with sick disgust as he slowly began to consume his own wings, wondering why he could have wanted to cut down his own mobility. Once it was done he soon let loose a mighty torrent of flames in a cone like fashion, easily answering her inner question. It seemed that he still hadn't located her position, but with an area attack like that, it was just a matter of time before he found her, charred or otherwise. As her building was just starting to get razed she quickly jumped into the air, high above Arian as he continued to burn every building in the vicinity to the ground, the building she was hiding just seconds before bursting into flames and collapsing already. Though he is ignoring it, she could still see he was getting injured, which meant she could still hurt him at least. This was fortuante news as it appeared as though every time he transformed, the previous damage she dealt only grew less and less.,. She had to strike hard now while he was still vulnerable.
"Humph...." She knew it would have been a matter of time before IT would begin to surface. Wasting all her vizard abilities so early in the game, she basically let that hollow roam freely in her mind as she fought, and now it begins to annoy. "Not your day? The last thing she needed right now was to be occupied with mind battles. She just wanted to beat him, and get to Lee. She had no doubts on his safety, years of service with him told her of his strength. Yo her, he was invincible. "
Yeah yeah, just got get killed. I don't want to die because of your crappy mistakes." Perhaps realizing the negative effects on their conversation, such as the possible destruction of hers and its own intertwined life, the Hollow wanders off into further portions of her mind, leaving Nu to think and come up with something. Looking down, she only had a little strength left, enough for a finisher at any rate.
"Raimei Bakuha" Her body quickly converted into pure electricity, glowing a whitish blue as she crackled, small sparks popping every now and then. Though he seemed busy with burning everything in his path, there was a good chance that he heard something, so she had to strike now. Since she lacked the energy to continue this fight for much longer, it was in her hopes to incapacitate him by striking his head with the full force of her remaining energy before he got a chance to burn her to ash. Coming down at 60/000 m/s, her speed wasn't the issue. The issue was how was Arian going to react to the uncoming lightning bolt. He could, as predicted, fall to the ground, paralysis overtaking him, and giving her enough time to retreat to a safer place, perhaps finding Elisia before continuing. If she was off by even a second, he could try to brush aside her attack, kill her, then fall down, which was the worst possible outcome. Still, with the cliche thoughts of Lee in her mind, she came barreling down towards the behemoth, ready for the outcome. She came at him fist first, as it would be the last thing to be set aflame. It was probably easier to melt her then it was to melt the metal in which her arm is made of.
「ボクは大切な人を護りたい...その人の為に働き、その人の為に戦い、その人の夢を叶えたい...それがボクの夢」

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
 The gods trembled
The demons flockedAs the eerie quiet fell upon the battlefield, Hibiki looked on at where his Asa no Kiri had crashed, expecting Zenos to survive the onslaught and rise up any moment now. During his assault, he noticed several inconsistencies with Zenos’ defense and general reaction to the multitude of attacks he had delivered. Though it was true he focused every last shred of his reiatsu pressure into Zenos, if the Sephira’s frame was that fragile then Hideki alone should’ve been able to bring him down. Because he wasn’t subjected to Koudo’s fearsome reiatsu he didn’t know that it was he that allowed Hibiki to strike Zenos down like he did, but he certainly knew something was wrong. The fact that even in his Vizard form he was unable to beat down Zenos on his own meant that Hibiki couldn’t let his guard down even for a second. And as the lightning cracked upon the ground, Hibiki was prepared for the worst.
Eyeing his opponent as he regenerated, Hibiki felt it odd that he wasn’t all too surprised at the extent of Zenos’ regenerative capabilities. Witnessing the Sephira’s rebirth, he should’ve been completely dumbstruck, but perhaps the fact that he expected his fore to survive utter annihilation helped lessen the shock to his mind. Watching as Zenos stumbled about and proceeded to vomit out what looked like mercury, Hibiki was grateful as it seemed his barrage was powerful enough for it to carry some after effects. Lowering his gaze to meet Zenos’ head on, Hibiki let out another wave of reiatsu, carrying enough wind to push his hair back as Zenos fixed his as well. Taking note of his fangs and the sinister tone his voice held, as opposed to his usual monotone voice, Hibiki reminded himself of Zenos’ status as a denizen of the night. Seeing as his vampire side was now the predominant one, Hibiki mused that perhaps he could defeat him by making a cross with his fingers and slamming the figure into his forehead.
Setting aside such ridiculous thoughts, Hibiki countered that if he could walk in broad daylight then he certainly wasn’t going to be affected by half-hearted display of faith. Focusing his mind back on the battle at hand, Hibiki instinctively began a shunpo to evacuate the area the very moment Zenos disappeared. However, the Sephira’s speed greatly outclassed his, and he soon found Zenos’ arm speeding towards his chest. As always he was about to use Su to escape, but the location of his Bankai stopped him from doing so. As though Su transported him so quickly it looked like he had teleported, he was by no means bypassing space during the trip, and if he were to do so right now he’d just push himself spiraling towards Zenos’ arm, killing himself even quicker.
”Tch. Run away, run away. Is that all you ever do?” interrupted his inner hollow. The taunt was enough to trigger Hibiki’s fury, overriding his natural instinct to flee. Letting out a guttural roar, Hibiki moved his left hand to block Zenos’ thrust, biting his lip as the Sephira’s superior strength shattered the metal bands that protected it, and easily pierced through the flesh. His entire hand went numb as it made its way through it, passing between the radius and ulna. The pain was enough to knock him out, but before his consciousness slipped away he managed to rouse himself back awake and promptly twisted his now disheveled limb ”Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro” he spoke amidst the pain as six beams of light stabbed themselves into his and Zenos’ arm, effectively binding the Sephira in place, at the cost of his entire left forearm.
But it was do or die at this point, and before a moment could pass the Sephira would suddenly find a large chakram blade firmly embedded upon his back, if not then the force would certainly be enough to cause some major internal damage. A second later, a bright crimson flash would then impale itself upon Zenos’ chest and abdomen, before widening to bathe his entire upper body in Hibiki’s cero. The Vizard was at his limits at this point, though his mask was far from exceeding its duration, several cracks could already be seen lining the eye sockets and mouth piece, and underneath the ivory plate Hibiki was visibly panting as well.The winds were unleashed

The trash washes up to shore ▼ even in this landlocked place ▼ The s**t gets thicker ▼ Its toxic
Get it out of my face Ori's eyes became slits upon the metal mask as they narrowed at the sight of Hei and Yuki being engulfed into his Uchuzu. He was not naive to think that something so simple would kill two of the strongest shinigami within the Seireitei. Moving his 'bladed' hand down to his side Ori focused to peg where they would really appear. Not too long after, he felt their signature some ways behind him and quickly turned towards their direction, his face back to a demure look of interest. Lifting his bladed right hand in front of him, his hand became metal, as did about an inch past is wrist, his elbow, and parts of his torso. The torso area became like a skin tight breastplate. Ori made note of what Yuki placed in her system as he watched them, waiting. With Hei's movement and conjuring a mask, Ori scoffed silently in his metallic sound. He had felt many use such a source of power in different battles, and the fact that this man had one was no news from the first bout upon invasion. His feelings only proved that he had taught others to do the same. At this time, however, he felt as thought he had forgot something completely. As if something he had known well simply vanished from his memory completely. He tried to search for it, and found that he could only remember its name. Uchuzu. He no longer even knows what it does, or rather did. Slamming his left hand, fisted, into his respective thigh in frustration Ori returned his gaze toward Hei and Yuki, the former of which was now pouring reiatsu over the area.
Hei's reiatsu caused Ori to grimace from the feeling, but nothing more than that and when it was over Yuki moved to a form akin to his own. What came next surprised him like no other thing ever really had. Yuki fused with Hei in an elaborate, he could suppose, display. This was a curve ball for Ori and he had never expected this to happen at all. It was not a theisable thing for him, without complete dominance of one entity over the other, much like him and their previous Captain Commander. Being that he was already shortly stunned by the actuality of what just happened, when they appeared in front of him and landed a kick on his hip, Ori flew back and grasped his hip in his hands. It shattered the joint and pain was flooding his mind. How they had managed to use Hei's canceling particles to touch him without affecting their own body, was beyond him. Ori had never seen this in his life. When they attacked again, things had gone similarly. He fell back and the elbow drop slammed into his torso, nearly touching his spine, and shot him to the ground, of which he collided with such force as to create a 50 foot crater both in width and in depth. At the moment his body touch the ground and collided with it, the electricity his body was made of would disperse into the open air in thousands of short-lived strings and the metal would melt off of his body into the ground beneath him.
Ori was bare in this crater, now shrouded in a cloud of dust. His eyes squinted and strained to look above, his vision fading in an out of focus. His over all epidermis and surface of his dermis was burned to a large degree. His hip was completely broken and a large amount of his lower abdominal organs were far from being okay. Shaking his head, Ori struggled to move his arms to lift himself up off the ground. This caused a lot of skin to break and bleed, which caused him to howl in pain through the dust ridden hole. Once sitting up, Ori took a few deep breaths and flipped so his back was facing up and used his good leg to wobble up to his foot. Once in this position Ori sucked in a large amount of air and, almost instantaneously, the dark red skin began to become peach colored. Beneath his skin, his hip began to reconstruct its self, and the same was what happened to his organs. Once he was in pristine physical condition, Ori clenched his fist and felt for Hei and Yuki, now deemed Yuei, before uttering, "This is my last draw. You little....pains..."
Clasping his hands together he used the small amount of reiatsu, compared to his normal amount, to activate his [Gaia Corpul]. His body converting to dirt and diamond, his feet merged with the ground below him. Throwing his hands up towards Yuei, many large pillars of earth would lift towards them. Not directly, but into the sky. These were Ori's 'highways'. Using once that was around 5 feet from Yuei, Ori disappeared into the ground and appeared out of the pillar, an enlarged fist flying for them at around 100 miles per hour. Ori wanted this done with.
My name is Ori Shikoku De Nō ▲ one you will not understand ▲ I am one you will fear ▲ and one who will break your will My being is power: There is no reason to be afraid.

"How are you doing?" She asked Hei, her voiced came from a mouth-shaped lightning formation that covered his own, and as she spoke it moved like a normal mouth would. "Never better." Hei quirked an eyebrow behind his mask and arranged his Seigenshi to form a mist around them, letting it eat up the Reiryoku that held Ori's earthen form together and eventually seal his Resurrección and Hybrid powers if he stayed inside long enough. Likewise, Yuki's lightning suffered to the same degree, and since she had to become solid once more, Hei was ejected from her lightning and seconds later, Yuki's body became solid once more.
"What are you doing, I thought we needed this form." Hei shook his head in response to Yuki's confused statement, and put his hand to her stomach to move her away. "No, we need that, so prepare yourself." After a moment of hesitation, Yuki nodded and allowed herself to fall out of the cloud of Seigenshi, seeing as she couldn't use Shunpo inside it. Once she was out of it, the Captain Commander moved her hand to the Tekkō on her right arm and unhooked the clasp at her wrist, then the clasp near her elbow, causing the Tekkō to open up and fall to the ground. She did the same for the one on her left arm, and as soon as both were removed, she could feel the foreign Reiryoku that had come from Tsukiko and Kato flowing through her body. It was hot and uncomfortable, and the sooner she let it go the better she would feel. As Yuki began to prepare herself for Uranometria, Hei returned his attention to Ori, and dispersed his Seigenshi so that he could make use of his other abilities. He had been reduced to Shikai after using all of that energy to maintain his and Yuki's combined form, and even though he could still use the mask to use Iroazayaka while surrounded by the Seigenshi, it would be a waste of his mask's duration. Instead, he chose to keep the mask and both Shikai active to use less Reiryoku. Seconds after dispersing the Seigenshi, he utilized a Shundo to move next to Ori and land a kick to his chest before using the kick's momentum to turn him around 360° and open his hand to unleash a barrage of light particles from it right towards Ori's face. Meanwhile, Yuki stood still, holding her hands away from her torso, palms in the air while she incanted the potent Hadō.
"Aeon stands firm round God; Cosmos is moved in Aeon; Time hath its limits in the Cosmos; Becoming doth become in time. Survey the heavens and open them wide. Through the shining of all the stars of heaven, make thyself known unto me. O Tetrabiblos, I am one with dominion over the stars. Release thy aspect, a malevolent Gate. O Eighty-eight signs..." The landscape suddenly changed, the three of them being surrounded by what appeared to be space filled with stars and 88 multi-colored, miniature planets. Noticing the change, Hei turned his eye on Yuki after firing the particles at Ori, and then kicked the ground to shoot himself away from the area as he had no desire to take the Hadō intended for Ori. "Shine. Hadō no Hyaku: Uranometria!" As she finished and Hei moved away, the Hadō activated and the planets suddenly flew towards Ori at an accelerated pace to strike him with significant force along and an overwhelming amount of cosmic energy. The Hadō did not last for long, and about a minute later, the scenery changed back to normal, allowing Hei to witness Yuki slip into unconsciousness. With the Hadō done, Yuki let her hands fall to her side, too tired to keep them up any longer, and while her eyes fluttered shut, she toppled backwards before she was caught by Hei. Just before she was fully out, Yuki took control of her body and put it into a hibernation state by suspending her biological functions to relieve her body's need for food, water, and oxygen. Hei eased Yuki's body onto the ground, brushed her bangs from her face and cast her a small smile before turning away to see how Ori fared. Just as he did, his mask turned into black Reiryoku and dispersed into the air.⋄xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx⋄

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ The Vizard quickly retorted with a protective stance as the unscathed Arrancar stared Tetsunosuke down before opening his mask, and lifted his hand in a suggestive way. A gasp befell Tetsu as his guard was dropped some, he knew that Jacques hadn't stooped to the level of tricking him into lowering his guard. As his right hand loosened from the sword, Tetsunosuke moved it up toward his face to dismiss what time he had left on his mask. After it turned into reishi and disappeared, he would have heaved a sigh if he wasn't in his Bankai. Tetsunosuke moved to fix his still intake Shihakushō; his only line of armor.
"Arrancar, I can say the same for you. But my strength isn't enough to pierce that shell of yours. We are each others worse enemy it seems." Tetsu said this lightly; his voice had returned to normal. In the back of his mind, he still felt like he was being underestimated and not being fully fought. The Sephira continued on, it was a shook to hear such words from Jacques; Tetsu questioned himself on if it was a trap. "You've stated some thoughtful truths there, Jacques Jonghelinck. But you know as well as I do; you have someone you wish to meet..." Tetsunosuke's hand tightened around his sword. He recalled what Jacques had said to him just sheer moments ago. "you told me you had made a promise... to not get hurt. I hate it when promises are broken!!" He raised his voice at Jacques and should emotion throughout his body. "I don't have anyone to make promises to like that. I truly hate this fight for it brings to light things I wish to hide." Tetsu carried a sad tone now in his voice. "I can feel... this connection with you. I must have inherited some insanity after Hollowfication. " Tetsu smirked at even admitting to this. Hearing Jacques call him by title and surname only made him shake his head,."You got stuck with the most pathetic Captain, I apologize." He added with a slight bow of his head as he rubbed it with his free hand. "Why not an Option D? You kill me, and chase after your woman. By now, you should have noticed that she is fighting; it's Grand Kidō Chief, Masashi Lee. But... there's someone else there as well." Tetsu used his left eye to quickly map out the area around Neida, Lee and now Tsukiko. Tetsu looked him in the eyes and took a step forward in the air. "I can't choose option A, I already let one of you go today because she was outta my league. If I willingly let you go, I'll be marked as a traitor and be put to death, I'm a coward and don't wish to die like that. I can't choose Option C, because I won't allow myself to willing let you be tortured as a POW. Hakase Hei might resort to experimenting on you, or they would beat you, making it a slow death. Option B... doesn't sound like you think I am fighting with every ability I have, and the same goes for you. But is that true?"
Tetsunosuke was ripped between making a choice. "Option D: I am serious about it. I'm not going to let you just walk over me. But you have something you're fighting for, right?! Why does it feel like there is no tenacity behind your promise? Aren't you a man? Since when do I choose people's destinies for them?! If that were the case, Tomomi Iwakuro, Suzume, and...Kurihara Kyoshiro would be alive now! Do you not honor your own words?! 'If my armor fails, I will forget all restrictions of my body. If my sword fails, I will use my bare hands. If my hands fail, I shall use my legs. When my legs fail, I will bite and gnaw at you.. only when I have no way to fight you, will I ever be willing to die by you. If you kill me, do not hesitate to kill me quickly; that is only what I ask of you, hollow Shinigami.'" Tetsu had an angered look on his face. He was a man of words and actions. He stood behind his words and meant them; he thought the same of Jacques, but now he was spewing out of this nonsense. Tetsunosuke gripped his toes into the reishi platform and Shunpo'd forward. He reappeared right in front of Jacques with his Hollow Mask; his right hand had moved and gripped the sword, bringing it into a swing at Jacques' chest. It had already been proven he wasn't going to harm him, Tetsu was now angry and wanted to fight him. "Which option would you choose?!" Tetsu shouted as his sword would be about to slam against the armor.

┗I am below the Praise, the Majesty, the Splendour, the Submission.┓
_____ ┗I am below the Pillar of Mercy, Perpetuality, the Victorious..┓
__________┗I am above the Kingdom, the creation of the creators..┓
___________________________ ┗But most of all.. I am the reflection of all my Brothers and Sisters;┓
___________┗The Balancer of their reflections..┓ Time Is Running OutJacques had listened to him speak, being silent the entire time. He watched his face for the emotions that ran through the man. He was angered, saddened, yet had a sort of spirit to it. When he heard who Neida was fighting, he thought she could hold her own, but Tsukiko's presence was another matter to him. As for the mentioning of what could happen if he was a PoW, it did not bother him too much.
He smirked as the Vizard told him the words he used not long ago; they had not left his mind yet. He thought on them for a bit before he realized Tetsu had begun to come at him again. Jacques rose an arm and stopped the blade with his hand. He held on to the blade, enough to stop it, but not enough where it wouldn't release. Jacques' mask and armor around his neck folded back and he stares at Tetsu, "Captain Harasawa.. you tell me this things, yet I can't just leave. Neida must take care of herself, it would be condescending of me to say I need to come to her rescue. I can't say I won't show remorse if this is the last time I see her, but I won't say that I would retreat upon my emotions if she died. I am not a man anymore... I am a modified Hollow, a Sephirot. You don't know the feelings that come across me, being who I am... As a Hollow, I was born to hatred, and only wanted to feed. I hated, I fed, I killed innocent people to become stronger so that I could just survive. I made myself strong on the outside, so that I could keep my softness on the inside. Once I became the Yesod.. these emotions filled me, and I felt things I hadn't felt since I was probably human. I felt things beside hate. I was once fueled by hatred, lived by that hatred, yet now I live with content.. Now, Vizard, I am not saying my destiny is fully set by your choices, but the time being my destiny is in your hands, and yours in mine."
Jacques let go of the sword and walked for some distance before he found his book. He walked back to the Vizard and held it up, "Everything I've done, seen, heard.. it is written in this book. Well, all that mattered. I recorded my first emotions as a Yesod. I forgot one thing, though... Neida is not my woman. She dislikes men to a degree, but we have always gotten along..... to a degree. Now, if I became a PoW, do you think that would be the greatest torture I've endured? Death is not a welcoming idea, here or in a cage. I would rather die with someone I love at my side... but being who I am, do you think that will happen anyways? We all die, on the battlefield, in a cage, under authority, or just because we have reached that time; right now, I have chosen where I wish to die. I wish to die when my time has come; in a cage, right here, or next to my love.. I care not." Jacques wouldn't mind to die next to Neida, but he couldn't interfere. His form slowly falls from himself, and his sword materializes down. The sword stabs down in to the ground, "Now, Captain Harasawa, I relinquish myself to you, and you only. As bonds go, someone who breaks it is a coward and unfaithful; anyone, even Hei. Being who Hei is, I doubt someone like himself would break a code." He leaves his top off of himself, still a little warm from the battle, and liked the air on his skin. | Translations: | || OOC: || ""

☆ ★ ☆ ★ Δkiyama Σriko
十番隊
Jūbantai-Taichō  Eriko did not lift her gaze to the spirit fox as she spoke, not even when she made her name known to them. Honestly, she did not care in that moment about who they were exactly. Mentally, she was still playing over the past few minutes of her life, those that she could recall, and trying helplessly to make sense of them. Emotionally, she was all over the place. The heart of Lee-chan belonged to someone else. Cho had to possess her body in order to win a fight. What was wrong with her that she could not hold her own in anything? Why did he choose her? Why was she so unstable? She had made such progress over the past year or so. What happened to that? There was a time when Cho trusted her undoubtedly to hold her own in a fight without the use of any spiritual support. Now, half of a fight depended on it. It was too much. It felt like no matter what she did, no matter how far she went, she would always be Akiyama Eriko, a child with a collar, chained to nothing particular but chained all the same. "I can't do this. I can't!" she said suddenly, breaking the silence, tears rolling from the corners of her eyes as she struggled to sit herself up. Her limbs pained her so much, increasing the present water flow as she kept trying to move upwards.
"Akiyama," Cho whispered softly, placing a gentle arm on her master's tummy but exerting enough force to keep the other woman in place. She turned to face Shiruba-Fukutaicho and Tsuyatsuya, offering them a strained smile. "It's very nice to meet you formally. I apologize about Akiyama's previous choice of reference to you, Shiruba-Fukutaicho. She does not get along with m...poeple as well as she would like to think." Her words jumped as Eriko was not letting up on her futile struggle. "Like I said, I am Cho and my master is Akiyama Eriko, Jubantai-Taicho. Sorry about this," Cho managed to say before a loud shriek was emitted from Eriko's mouth. She was not seizing per se but her body was shaking uncontrollably and her face was soaked in salty tears. The screams continued without end, it would seem as she begged for something to stop. Cho was not sure if Shiruba and Tsuya-chan would know what it was but in that moment, it did not matter. She had to calm her down. The spirit looked back at the pair, all pretense of stability gone, begging them for help of any kind. It seemed like forever before she eventually moved from her master's side and began searching the room for anything. As weak as Eriko was, she was feeling that, too. However, someone had to take care of her. She had done it for so many other people while growing up. "Hold on, Akiyama. Do not go crazy over this! I need you." Cho kept moving through shelves and cupboards, grabbing towels and meds as she saw them but honestly, she was feeling almost as overwhelmed as Eriko.

Shiruba Uingusu, 11th Division Lieutenant
シルバーウイング、第11部中尉
 Neither Shiruba nor Tsuyatsuya could really anticipate the cries. It felt unearthly to hear; not so much as loud but it felt...painful. Not for his ear, but in his heart, Shiruba felt as if he could feel her sorrow, as if he could feel the waves of torment, of infidelity and he instantly felt like he and Eriko were not so different. He did not realize just what was trapped within the injured body he saw and he looked at Tsuyatsuya, more in pain then in pity...
'We have to assist...' Tsuyatsuya spoke to Shiruba through his mind, 'She needs something to help her calm down...her pain is terrible. It is like yours...when I first found you.'
Shiruba did not want to be reminded of those days; the days that drained past him like waves of the sea as he did everything he could to prove himself worthy to be of the Gotei 13, to prove that he was not some young gun who couldn't amount to anything. He wanted strength, he wanted to be looked up to as someone important. Not necessarily admired, but to be worth something to his people and to his clan...
Maybe Eriko was the same? Maybe she had been working so hard that she wasn't feeling like she could be who she really was? Whatever the case was, Shiruba couldn't leave her like this and he slowly walked to Eriko, breathing under his lips, "Surasshu hanareta kage, Tsuyatsuya..." which caused his sword's outer shell to evaporate to reveal the inner form of light within and he then spoke as softly, "Gantoretto" causing his sword like form to dissipate and form around his lower, right arm, becoming a gauntlet of light that he would softly rest on Eriko's forehead...
The light generated from the glove would act like a warm towel against her forehead, a relaxing, thermal energy that Shiruba hoped would help her relax as he softly hushed her, helping her rest on her back as he softly rubbed her forehead, speaking to her in a gentle voice, "It's okay Eriko...don't worry...you're safe here. You don't have to fight anymore. You don't have to prove anything. Rest now...rest dear Eriko..."
He knelt down close to her, his eyes conveying compassion and serenity, focused on her and tried his best to soothe her, his other hand softly coiling around her fingers, trying to help her get a grip on herself and to assist her with getting back to a normal state...
Where there are tears, I shall be...涙があるところでは、私がしなければならない
On silver wings I fly through the sky...銀の翼で私は空を飛ぶ...
Through burdened eyes I have watched...負担の目を通して私が見ている...
In a tortured body I endured pain...拷問本体では私は痛みをこらえ...
In the light I burn with the truth...光で私は真実を上げて燃える...
In the darkness my sin taints us all...闇の中で私の罪は、すべて私たちに汚染します...
The Divine Mouth of the Seven Tails has freed me...セブン尾の神の口は私を解放した...

 ɳɘɪɗɑ Ѻɿȶɪɀɀ ﹃The female Arrancar had taken damage from the ensnaring Bakudo Hado combination, most of her armor on her chest had pilled away and looked singed. She'd noticed that her Cero's hadn't done much besides be a hurdle to jump over. "I am amazed at how you display your IQ level so easily, joseiki-himemiya." Her voice hid the small bit of pain she was feeling until her High-Speed Regeneration kicked in. The pain from her chest soon subsided as she heaved an inward sigh. To Tsukiko, her attacks were turned to meaningless obstacles, but Lee had managed to be struck by some of them. As the moon suddenly vanished, she saw Tsukiko move to bring something out. "s**t... stupid b***h." She said aloud as she felt her Garganta forcibly close. Tsukiko entered Bankai as Lee used his own Bankai technique in hopes to kill Neida. Lee's wave fell on Neida, as darkness sieged itself all around. Her vision was omnipotent all about her body, but she still couldn't see for a few moments. Feeling the water quickly heat up around her, she devised a plan with haste; her body was being burnt as she thought. Her sight hadn't adjust, but with her Siempre Pesquisa, she was able to sense the water's reishi move out to form a sphere around her. Sensing that this would turn worst to terrible, she move both of her arms to her chest to have her fingers impale to become covered in blood; after that she moved both of them to an outstretched posture. "Curva Gran Rey Cero!!" She yelled before the water, with a hundred plus pound crushing force befall her. With her ability to split the Gran Rey Cero and move it in a precise way, she was able to block some of the water's killing intent by having it circle around her. While some of the water got through, it was enough to cause her a tremendous amount of pain; feeling as if someone with an amazing amount of strength had punched her. Before her Gran Rey Cero ended, she concentrated more Reiryoku to her chest, "Doble Cero Oscuras!" Her weak voice shouted once more as two beam erupted to the left and right of her; finishing most of the water off. As the water misted around her, she used Sonido Ligero to land on the ground; baring only one leg and half of her arm at the moment. Her armor had all but be ripped off by the water's power. Her numb body landed right side first on the ground. "At least... it wasn't just a male her defeated me." She said with hazed over eyes. Her labored breathing showed her diaphragm as she felt her regeneration trying to save her. Her trunk wasn't unharmed, though most of her armor was destroyed, her left chest was missing some; along with some of her cheek on the same side. Neida's right arm regenerated first, along with the missing parts of her left leg. Her head was intact still as were her organs.

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ Tetsunosuke, with an aggravated look, took a step back after his sword was released. Tetsu felt like he had came to a bridge he was forced to walk over. "You talk like you've got it all under control." Tetsu said with a softness in his voice. The Captain listened to his words, while they sounded like ramblings of a mad man, for some reason, he felt encouraged by them. A smile arose on his lips for the first time in a long while, it was a smile of happiness. "Jacques, I think we became who we are now at the wrong period of time. I'll do as you wish, for now..." He said; raising his hand, he casted a wordless Sajō Sabaku. By most standards, it was weakened due to battle fatigue, but he esitmated that it would be enough to hold Jacques back when need. He held onto the end of the Reiryoku chain and moved his head. "You're able to use your Sonido still; so keep up as I go somewhere." Tetsunosuke said. Measuring the strengths of all the Sephira's, he thought that it would be best to check on Lee's fight to see how him and Tsukiko were holding up. After Shunpoing his way to them, with Jacques in bondage following along, he made it there just as it a sphere of water took shape around something. "Hmhp... looks like I wasn't needed." Tetsu said as Jacques would more than likely appear out of his Sonido at the same time.

He would willingly be bound and lead by the Captain, using a sonido so he wouldn't end up being dragged. He comes upon the scene with Tsukiko and Lee. Jacques glanced to Neida and his eyes widened, "Neida.." His voice came out in a desperate tone. As if calling for her to get back up, but only Harasawa would be close enough to maybe hear the whisper.
Jacques walks to Tetsu and stands next to him, "Captain Harasawa.. You said it seemed like I had everything under control; indeed, I did. I was hoping you would come here.. I knew you wouldn't let me go without seeing her at least one last time.... but this won't be the last." Jacques flexes and breaks the reiryoku chain, sonidoing to Neida. Jacques slams his sword down in front of them and looks at the Shinigami, "Stand back!" Jacques knelt to Neida and had a smile on his face, "Look at yourself, girly.. you've gone and broke yourself." He chuckles and picks her up in his arms. He turns around and looks at the Shinigami, "I am sorry to say this, but... 'til another day, we shall meet again. Enemies, or friends.." He glanced only slightly towards Tetsu, but stopped before doing so, as he did not want to get him in trouble. No, Tetsu had not willingly lead him here so he could escape; as far as Jacques thought, though. The sky above began to open and Gillian Menos peered through. A beam came down upon the two Sephira, and the two, with Jacques' sword, began to rise in to the air. Jacques looks back to Neida in his arms, "I'm sorry, if you think this is wrong.. I didn't feel much like watching you die. It would have been a real downer." Jacques smiles to her and holds her close. He looks back to the Vizard, and stares at him. Tetsu might not have noticed, but as Jacques had been beside him, he had slipped his little book inside of the Vizard's sash. The Negación would begin to close as they reached the Menos, "We are more similar than you think, Vizard. Our paths have paralleled each others, to this point. You have spared my life, and that of Neida.. I thank you, my friend." Jacques, although saying this, knew Tetsu wouldn't hear him. | Translations: | || OOC: || ""|Exits with Neida|

|810| Masashi, Lee, Gobantai Taichō"I cannot stand who I am, I'm this man. With this blood on my hands, in this blood I am damned. So watch my wings burn as they burn in the fire. Don't scatter the ashes, no need for the choir." 
Lee watched everything as if it was in slow motion noticing Tsukiko was making an effort to totally ignore him and anything he had said. Her childish nature didn't really surprise him all that much considering she was just a child in a grown up body. There wasn't much else for him to do aside from apologizing. Something he had already done and she ignored him on as well. Watching as Tsukiko forcibly made Neida's garganta technique useless, Lee then waited as his wave crashed down only for Tsukiko to release her bankai and form the water into a sphere around Neida, then choosing to have it collapse in on itself. The amount of pressure from the attack was extreme and could potentially crush her, however he couldn't see the attack in action as darkness fell. Feeling Tsukiko grab his sleeve and move them then came Tsukiko insulting him, Lee just ignored her finding her want to verbally insult him to be childish. It wasn't long before Elisia arrived and began healing his wounds. Remaining silent the entire time Lee shook his head no as she asked if he could think of anywhere else he was wounded. Then realizing she couldn't see either verbally replied to her. "No Hakase-taichō I am quite fine now thank you. I trust you are alright as well?"
Then suddenly he felt himself get flicked by who could be none other than Tsukiko, and given her strength and the unexpected nature he fell backwards. Then came more insults that Lee simply ignored for the most part rolling his eyes at her as he returned to his feet his eyes having adjusted. "I never said I was going to kill myself. And if you hate me so much you should have chose to help someone else. I could have handled her with Uranometria if the need did arise. Surely you didn't come here just to tell me how stupid I am. Out of all the people here why would you chose to help me? There are others in worse shape. You claim to not want to see me kill myself in your own words but why? What have I really done in my life worth living for Tsukiko-san? There are others more deserving of surviving that have perished today. Why me?" He had long since abandoned preparing for the hadō, and despite his words had spoken quite calmly in response to Tsukiko, not really feeling like getting into another argument with her at the moment. He had also abandoned the use of Tenteikūra since Tsukiko had obviously not intended to use it in the first place. Seeing Neida fall and speak Lee let out a small sigh. Taking a step forward with the intent of ending the female Sephira once and for all, he stopped as Tetsunosuke arrived with a captive Sephira. Why the hell did he take the Sephira captive? Hearing tetsunosuke speak Lee raised an eyebrow in his direction as his eyes slowly drifted to Jacques. Then just like that the Sephira broke through the bakudō and moved next to Neida speaking to her quietly.
Getting ready to unleash an attack with the hopes of perhaps killing them both Jacques suddenly stood up with Neida and after a few brief words was rescued by negación. Silently cursing and giving up on using an attack Lee turned to Tetsunosuke with narrowed eyes. "Why the hell did you let him live? He IS the enemy Harasawa-taichō and despite your personal feelings it is your duty to protect Soul Society. By sparing his life, you, have allowed him to escape with another Sephira that could potentially come back and end more lives. Are you really prepared to be responsible for that?" Shaking his head Lee watched as the two Sephira disappeared completely, then proceeded to seal his bankai and sheath his zanpakutō. Rubbing his temples Lee let out a small breath in frustration. "What were you thinking? Quite frankly for your actions I would not be surprised if you were placed under arrest. Why would you spare an enemy? Not just that but why the hell would you spare him and put him under some half assed bakudō that he could break out of quite easily. Did you want him to escape? So help me if they come back and kill even one single Soul I will personally hold you responsible." Letting out another frustrated breath of air Lee turned to Tetsunosuke to hear what the man had to say for himself, not bothering to hide that he was disappointed in the man's actions. While it probably didn't mean much to Tetsunosuke if Lee was disappointed in him, it was astounding to Lee that Tetsunosuke had spared Jacques AND Neida earlier that day. It was simply not the right kind of conduct for a Captain.

872  xxxxxxxxthe Sun locks the Heavens xxxxxxxxthe Moon eclipses the Night 博士月子
Jūnibantai Fukutaichō In order to provide light, not for herself, but for Lee and the newly arrived Elisia and Hideki, Tsukiko had recalled her little moon and was currently tossing it about afoot in the air and catching it in her outstretched hand repeatedly. "Bakabanashii." She spat, taking amusement to the Sephira's final statement as she tried to heal herself up. "Didn't you know? You lot have more to fear from the women than you do the men of the Seireitei. That's why mom's the Captain Commander; that's why I just beat your a** like it was nothing. Of course, I'm also better than you." For the moment, she had no intention of retaliating again; kicking a horse while it was down was not her style. To further her reluctance to hit her again, she promptly cancelled her Bankai, relieving the surrounding area of its night and letting daylight flood the area once more. As soon as the light hit her, she made Kōgetsu disappear into what appeared to be thin air before looking away for the moment, convinced she no longer needed to pay attention to Neida. She soon discovered she was wrong when, after looking to Tetsunosuke -whom she assumed had beaten Jacques due to his presence-, she saw the Sephira arrive next to him and subsequently thank him for sparing him, then appear next to Neida.
Tsukiko abruptly turned on the spot, and a large mass of electrical energy erupted from the front of her torso, but it was too late and was stopped by the Negacion which took both of them away. "You... great... big... idiot..." She wasn't sure where to begin, honestly, the sheer hypocrisy of the current situation was enough to make her want to rip out her own hair in frustration. Tetsunosuke's anger at Aurelius for getting involved, his anger at her father for turning Hibiki, his overall anger at everything, and then he went and did this. "You..." Lifting her shaking hand, she jabbed her finger in Tetsunosuke's direction and spoke lowly to him. "I kept quiet... for a long time... But after this... you have... no right... to ever say... anything bad... about my family... ever again... And if you do... I will destroy you..." Lowering her hand, she went back to repetitively flexing her fingers while unconsciously pushing Lee's head further into the ground. She was still glaring at him, even though a part of her knew he was either going to ignore her like the coward he was, or get angry at her like the child he always acted like.
There was not much for her to do now; she was unimaginably frustrated with Tetsunosuke right now, so much so that she had yet to even properly greet Elisia. Finally, she lifted her foot from Lee's head and then slammed it back down about an inch from his feet, cracking the earth where she struck, and then let out a frustrated scream. After this, she labored her breathing and attempted to cool off before stepping right past Tetsunosuke and using her shoulder to purposefully bump into him. Naturally, being far more structurally sound than he was, she would win that contest of strength and continue on before she arrived next to Elisa. Tsukiko remained silent for a moment as she took all of her frustration and put it in the back of her mind, and then she finally spoke up. "You… aren’t hurt are you?" She asked softly, slipping her hand to the back of her neck and inspecting her upper body with only her eyes. "You're fine now, right?" Leaning closely, she brushed her lips against Elisia's before whispering softly to her. "Please don't worry me like that again." Following this, she made full contact and pressed her lips into Elisia's and kissed her dead on to express her affection and worry. Taking Elisia's hand into her own, she continued her display of love until finally breaking away from her a moment later. "Okay...?" Her voice was barely above a whisper now and she had slowly guided Elisia against a nearby pile of rubble that had likely been the result of the recent fight, if not the rowdiness of the Sephira from the past year and a half. For the moment, she kept the girl pinned to the rubble, not with excessive force but instead just enough to suggest that Elisia not move.  ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪

ɳɘɪɗɑ Ѻɿȶɪɀɀ ﹃[Listening Pleasure]
The pressure of Lee's Bankai soon disappeared as another one came. This Reiatsu felt like one she's sense before, but in her weakened state, she could care less. Her dulled visioned seemed to fool her as she peered up at this newly arrived foe to see a familiar image, "Jac-" was all she could murmur from her slouched state. By now, blood had mixed with the mud she was laying in, and her image looked horrendous. Not only was she defeated, but her pride as the Gevurah Sephira was tarnished. "I am not worthy. I feel disgusted with myself." She thought as she could almost cry.
As she stayed lying, she could feel mud splash around her as a sword plunged forward; the voice was Jacques', and for the first time, she smiled for hearing a man's voice. With the entirety of her right arm fully being regenerated now, she lifted it up as he picked her up. "You are the most foolish man... I've ever acquainted, Jacques Jonghelinck." She said this while brushing the side of his cheek with her only hand. A tear finally pushed its way to her ducts and trickled down her chin. Her visioned had finally returned some as she glanced him over. Jacques looked weary, and she felt terrible for having to depend on him. "Ori-sama will be displeased with us; Zenos as well. I told them... this would end poorly." She said as her hand feel to her chest. By then, her Segunda Etapa had canceled and her Zanpakuto rested on her naked body. Not caring about being unclothed, she allowed herself to stay in his arms. Neida noticed the Negación had picked them up to carry them away, she felt relaxed. She shook her head no as he asked her his question, "I am in no position to deny your assistance." Neida said with her weakened voice. "I am glad... that Vizard kept his promise." She managed to say before fainting in Jacques' arms.

__________________________________
_____________________  Sakuya was impressed with Kodo’s display of defensive prowess as he not only came out the other side of her assault physically unscathed but also countered. The kick did send her sliding backwards toward the ground, however, Sakuya recovered before impact. Seeing the man rushing towards her for what was sure to be a follow up attack, she reflexively used a counter of her own specifically developed for these type of situations. In an instant she brought her swords together then slashed them downward at a 45 degree angle to each other in a shape that would look like an upside down V. To the inattentive observer it would appear that Sakuya simply got nervous and countered too soon, having overestimated her opponent’s speed. That assumption was what the counter was meant to create. In reality she had opened two garganta that were no wider than the tips of her blades between the two of them and if Kodo continued his reckless charge, he would find himself in various pieces as the parts of his body that lined up with the garganta would enter them while the rest would be left behind to ponder the newfound divides between them.
Despite its potential deadliness however, the garganta trap was merely a ruse for the most part. Something to delay the hulks charge for even a fraction of a second as she prepared to spring the real trap on him that was originally intended to be Hei’s undoing. Sakuya found herself chuckling at Kodo’s words because they were part of the very instrument of his demise. With each sentence, each roar, bellow, guffaw, contented sigh or anything which resulting in him bringing air into his lungs he was inhaling the pollen that she had so blatantly spread over the battlefield during her segunda etapa transformation. This pollen may have seemed harmless, but it was actually the mechanism for her power in this state. It was why she could shape her cero into various forms, why they could be redirected at a whim, but most importantly and deadly, it was why she could remotely coalesce the reiatsu for her Rose Cero separate from main body as the pollen itself was still a part of her being. After all, why bother cutting through the armor of a tank when you can simply set off the semtex you hid inside earlier and liquefy all the occupants. Kodo was that very tank, coated in a nigh impenetrable armor, but Sakuya’s trap was set long before he could even begin to consider a counter and he was loaded with her pollen. Lungs, esophagus, stomach, sinuses, all were coated with hundreds of death beacons just waiting for the signal.
Sakuya merely stood there swords ready to counter in case he got in another attack as she began focusing her reiatsu and building a Rose Cero in each of Kodo’s lungs. The cero would expand and explode tearing his lungs to shreds and possibly other organs due to their inability to burst forth through his heirro causing the blast to be contained entirely within his chest cavity. The only way he could survive the attack now would be to have regeneration abilities or manage to get more than 300 feet from her before the pair of cero formed, but being as they had close to the same speed from what she could tell that wasn’t going to happen. She smiled as she spoke was she assumed would be the last words Kodo would hear, “Betrayed by the very air that sustains you, your life is mine to take. Wither and die shinigami!”
