Tsukiko half-crawled, half-stumbled away from the two, trying to escape their reach. Shizuka's inviting touch no longer meant anything now that a man had tainted her. Shuddering, she clutched at her shoulder with her fingers and even with the realization that she was causing a scene, she cradled herself while her nails began to tear at the fabric of her clothing. "Mistress." A voice rang out inside her head, it was the timid Tsukiyomi projecting her thoughts into Tsukiko's brain. "Mistress, please... please pull yourself together."
"I can't." She called back, her tone reflecting her body, wavering as she shuddered to herself.
"But you must!"
"I killed him, in cold-blood... I killed someone who didn't deserve to die! What if he was right, that boy... what if he could have been saved? I killed him!"
"You had to." Tsukiyomi, in light of her master's current mindset, sounded a little more confident at the moment; it appeared that, perhaps, the two shared inversely-proportional feelings.
"No! I killed him, and now I'm reduced to this... Nothing, I am reduced to nothing! I can't stop myself, how can I go back to them, anyone... when I can't even cope with this!"
"Mistress..." Tsukiyomi now wore a face of concern, her timidity had faded away, and now she gingerly approached her master, sinking to her knees behind the female and embracing her. "Mistress, you were too young to be told this after the fact, but... your father was beside himself with grief when you died. But he managed to bring you back, mistress. He gave you this body. You're not shaming yourself by feeling bad or crying, you're not shaming your family either. You will, however, bring shame to yourself if you don't get up and fight. If you feel bad about killing him, then you have to make sure his death meant something!"
Hearing this, Tsukiko's eyes snapped open, her vision returned, her ears began working again, and the tears started falling. "Why.. why did not one tell me about this?" To say she was shocked was an understatement, her knowledge of her own death and recreation was minimal at best; she had asked her servant once and the subject had been changed. She dared not approach her father, nor her mother, so it remained a mystery. But now... Hei had cried? It didn't seem possible, not Hei who was rock solid, but Tsukiyomi wouldn't lie. "That's right... I wouldn't." As if reading her thoughts, Tsukiyomi reassured her of this, and with a nod, pulled away from Tsukiko, only to stand up just after and ease herself back. She cast a look to Shizuka, to see if she was waching; in the interim, Tyrus had already been hit by an arrow from Shiva. Looking down, she saw the same was true for Tsukiko, an arrow was in her shoulder and rapidly sinking inside. It must not have been solid, and she couldn't touch it, but nothing happened to her after that. The mind-control that Shiva had desired fell prey to the unique structure of Tsukiko's mind; it was thwarted by the fact that Tsukiko was a machine. Of course, Tsukiyomi had no idea what to make of it, but when nothing happened, she stopped worrying about it.
Tsukiko's hold on her own shoulders lessened, her nails stopped as they reached her skin and her fingers retracted before they did damage. Tsukiko looked down at her arm to see that she was still shaking, and, after grabbing her wrist with her other hand to stop it from moving, she bit her lower lip and pulled up her sleeve. "That's right, I..." After a brief hesitation, Tsukiko plunged her nails into the skin of her own wrist and took hold of the artificial skin that surrounded her chassis. "I am my father's daughter... a Hakase in name and blood." After shedding her final tear, she pulled back the skin, ripping a long strip free from her body and dropping it onto the ground. "Even if my blood is fake," Like any normal person, Tsukiko's wound was bleeding quite profusely, but amidst the blood was the unmistakable shine of metal beneath her skin; there were no bones, only solid metal a sight that gave away -- to Shizuka who was the closest -- that there was more to her than meets the eye. She had removed her skin in a symbolic gesture; it was not meant to make her feel pain, for she could not, but instead it was meant to remind her of who she was. "I am still.. His.. daughter. I'm sorry, father. I will correct my mistake." She whispered to herself, now stumbling to her feet as her sleeve dropped down her arm to cover her wound, but doing nothing to hide the strip of fake skin lying on the ground next to her feet, covered in fake blood and the sticky residue of the makeshift superficial fascia used to bond the skin with her frame. By the time she reached her feet, Tsukiyomi was beaming, and as Tsukiko reached for her own sword, her real one, the spirit flickered away while Tsukiko wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and then narrowed them as she looked at Yokozuki. "I may not have been able save Nayton, but I can do my best to help Yokozuki. Her sword now fully from it's sheath, Tsukiko held it in front of her and turned her attention to Shizuka, but did not turn her head. "If you will, keep that a secret. And... thank you." Her words came bolder now, she appeared to have cleared her head, and was aware of what needed to be done. She was, in a sense, strangely grateful for Shizuka's help, and at the same time, wanted her secret to remain this way.
The pressure in her legs began building, rising to dangerous levels until, in a brief moment of release, the ground around her feet exploded as the pressure in her leg pistons were released, resulting in a single bound from her location to Yokozuki's, which was noticeably a step higher than her Shunpo should have been. While in mid-jump, her katana split into two, which she pulled away from one another before they turned into her Shikai's dagger forms. "Bankai. Gessekai Tsukiyomi!" As she appeared before Yokozuki and spoke her Bankai's name, a drastic change fell on the environment. First, upon the generation of Tsukiko's Bankai membrane, a vast area around Tsukiko, which covered the entire battle field they were using, was suddenly and abruptly plunged into a realistic night. The membrane that was created stretched across the sky in a massive dome, blocking out all light and heat, but remaining intangible to everything else. It served to create a realistic night sky as well, one that showcased the proper alignment of the stars and the phase of the moon for the current time of the year, so much so that it literally appeared to be night time for no reason. Tsukiko offered Yokozuki a glance in his general direction, her expression was stern now. "I know you're in there, and I will try my hardest to save you. I apologize in advance if I hurt you. Prepare yourself, I am no pushover." The daggers in her hands turned to nothing, becoming non-solid lunar energy once more and fading into the air as she raised her finger, giving life to an exact replica of the Moon -- three feet in diameter--- on the very tip of it. After rolling it back into the palm of her hand, she moved it in front of her chest, placed her other hand on top of it, and then released a concentrated wave of lunar energy with substantial concussive force from the replica Moon -- named Kōgetsu -- before she gave him a chance to respond. "Getsuei."  ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪

Linuen Frost
Third Seat, Seventh Division
Sereitei, Soul Society
After Mikito's short introduction, everything happened in a fast pace; Linuen Frost failed to keep up with everything that happened. He saw the commencement of the speech of Yokozuki as he was joined by Nayton, the Sixth Division captain and who seemed to be once again under the influence of Shiva's dark control. Linuen gasped in shock as he watched the comrade of the Gotei elite stood beside the traitorous Yokozuki.
But the third seat's shock was pushed to the limit as Nayton was suddenly struck by an invisible force; the latter was burned from inside out, which caused Linuen's stomach to lurch forward but he was able to hold it. He watched the man as he turned to a burnt crisp of a man which greatly resembled a stick figure drawn by children. Linuen shook his head in disbelief as he realized that it WAS the Sixth Division captain turned to a living, burnt puppet by the force of the stone. Yet, as he saw the figure, he knew, too, that Nayton was not yet dead; he was played by Shiva to stay alive and live long enough to experience the horrible transformation. Nayton was used as a living plaything in this twisted game made by Shiva. It was then that a solitary tear fell from Linuen's eyes as his hands trembled as he clutched his blade.
Linuen let out a cry of horror as soon as Tsukiko, who was the Twelfth Division captain, skipped in front of Nayton and put an instant end to his suffering. Subconsciously, Linuen reached out to the burnt man as he toppled to the ground as tears fell from his eyes like a raging river. No. Not again. "Not again! Not again! NOT AGAIN!" The third seat cried out in horror as he backed away slowly in panic. He was shaking his head and his hands held his head as he shook it, trying to reject the gruesome scene that occurred before Linuen. On the process, his katana gave out a dull thud as it fell at the ground. "YOU STUPID BOY!" Alestha exclaimed in rage. "Manage your emotions! Discipline your mind! Close yourself from pain!" She added as the katana shook intensely from the ground as if ready to strike Linuen at any moment.
Yet, as if not hearing her words, Linuen continued to back away as he cried in panic, his voice overwhelmed with undeniable sobs of horror. He kept repeating Kei's name again and again as he tried to close his mind from the harsh bloodbath that just happened. He wanted to run. He wanted to go home. He wanted to go back at Kei Aoi's house. He wanted to end this. End this.
The next thing Linuen knew, he was woken up by a bright flash. He fell at the ground, face smeared with tears, and then gazed in shock at the appearance of yet another figure. It was no doubt that it was Shiva. Linuen gave another cry of horror mixed with panic and began to pitifully crawl out of the field, unable to take in the horror that encased the entirety of the battle. "LINUEN!" Alestha cried out loud from deep within his soul. "I've never been so disappointed of you in my entire life! YOU'RE A COWARD!" She screamed at the top of her lungs that immediately sent a bitter cold all over Linuen's body; he flinched and the third seat toppled backwards, unsure what to think anymore.
"I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Linuen cried out loud to his Zanpakuto. "I want to go home! I want to back to Sensei! I don't want this anymore!" And with that, Linuen gave one loud shriek of panic.
"YOU CAN'T! YOU CAN'T GO HOME NOW! KEI AOI IS DEAD! DID YOU HEAR ME?! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!" Alestha screamed at Linuen. "You can't turn back, Linuen! THINK! You still have ones that will be alive enough to love you back! SHIZUKA! TYRUS! THINK! The world is not revolving around you just to hear you rant about not wanting how things turned out! GROW UP! You're not a child anymore!"
Suddenly, large chunks of boulders rained downed from the sky that came from Shiva's initial attack. Linuen was able to gasp in shock once before a particular boulder moved towards the third seat's direction faster than that of Tyrus and Mikito; this boulder came first. "No!" He yelled out loud as he reached to his katana. At once, Alestha flung from the ground and then spun towards Linuen; however, she was not going to make it.
But all of the sudden, the boulder struck an invisible barrier that seemed to have been there long before the boulders were thrown at the group. The chunk of ice stopped suddenly and then immediately began to disintegrate into thousands of pieces. It turned to small rocks, then pebbles and ultimately, into dust. Linuen's jaw hung open as he watched the boulders that followed fall into the same situation as the first one, dissolving into thousands of pieces. And then, Linuen and Unohana was grabbed by a swift figure that protected them from the hail. He looked up and then saw the figure of Mikito, who was now in his Bankai release, and then brought them to the barrier which Akusuna just conjured.
It was at that time when Linuen turned to look at Tyrus even though his entire face was smeared of tears and panic. He saw, for the briefest of seconds, the captain look at Linuen's eyes just as he thanked Akusuna for the barrier and then turned to Shiva. Suddenly, they were all enveloped by a bone-chilling reiatsu that came from Shiva and made Linuen so scared more than ever. Yet, he found a source of strength once again, in that eternal abyss of voidness: Tyrus. He reached out to the Thirteenth Division captain.
And all of the sudden, Tyrus' eyes went instantly blank and his head bowed down. Linuen cried out in shock towards the captain, no, his friend... no, his last memory of his Sensei... no, no, no... He couldn't find the right words to describe Tyrus. Yes. Linuen called out to person who made his life complete. Love, was it, perhaps?
"TYRUS!!!" Linuen called out at the top of his lungs.
It was then that the bluish arrow that Shiva sent towards all of them reached Linuen. "LINUEN!" Alestha called out. "NO!" Linuen exclaimed, still reaching out to Tyrus. "It is what truly protects us!" A familiar voice rang to Linuen's senses. He turned his tear-smeared face towards the direction of Shiva and saw, even at the faintest of glance, the image of Kei Aoi standing against the light. His former Sensei smiled and nodded at his former trainee. Linuen's eyes overflowed once again of tears.
And then, he was consumed by darkness. Linuen fell at the ground with a dull thud as his entire mind went blank.

747   Ηakase Ϩenka
博士雪
Ichibantai Taichō It was one thing to be dismissed, and quite another thing to be completely ignored; the young child did not like either reaction to anything she had to say. Senka was quite used to being the center of attention pretty much wherever she went, and to be ignored like this only served to irritate her. All of the monologuing in the world couldn't curb her temper at this point, yet that didn't seem to matter; Shikozuki just kept talking and talking. If it had been night time, she might have confused this so-called "fight" with her story-time, the rare occasion in which she did not have to share her father with anyone else. Only this story was boring, and had no dragons or princesses or anything her childish mind could be captivated by. It was just words, all of it, boring words that meant nothing to her; discussion meant nothing to her, she had already said she wanted to see Shiva so she could punch her in the face. She got her wish a little while later, but first, several things had to happen. Senka watched out of the corner of her eye, glancing down at an angle towards Nayton as he was hurt by Shikozuki; she did not appear to be affected by this, and she had a good reason not to be.
First, on the surface she was the Captain Commander; it was her responsibility to remain level-headed at such a sight, and she shouldn't dirty her hands with the task of killing him when there were several others closer than she. Furthermore, she could see that he was doomed anyway, so getting worked up about it was senseless. Senka, however, soon regretted her decision, because after she witnessed Tsukiko strike down Nayton without a second thought, she was also the first to catch the tear that fell from her eye. "Onee-chan..." For the moment, she was frozen in place because it was new to see her sister upset; Tsukiko was supposed to be eternally happy, she wasn't allowed to be sad. As she watched Tsukiko break down, Senka found herself unable to move and remain in place, watching out of the corner of her eye like she did not care. For two reasons she did not move, or could not move, the first being a sense of duty to remain near Shikozuki in case it decided to take action, and the second was that she was simply frozen in place, unable to understand the situation. "Onee... chan..." These soft words escape her lips before she was snapped back to reality by Shikozuki's ramblings once more, or rather, Shiva's, who had finally showed up.
Senka turned in time to see a boulder hurtling straight for her, and in the nick of time, she tore her body out of place and destroyed the boulder with a finger, or at least that's what it looked like. In reality, she had moved her finger between her body and the flying boulder, and once the boulder had gotten within range, she channeled an invisible shock wave inside it to reduce it to dust, which also gave the appearance it had vanished. She did not have to wait long for anything else, as she saw an arrow coming towards her face. Senka could not move her hand in time to repeat the process, so she instead opted to tilt her head to the left and allow it to zip past her ear and continue on it's way. She finally turned back to Tsukiko and saw her rise, a sight that put a small smile on her face, happy that she was better. Turning her attention to Yukito, whom she noticed lurking, she blinked and cast him a look before returning Shiranami to his saya without sealing her Shikai. Once the sword was back where it belonged, she took the two ends of the white cord in either hand and then tossed it over her shoulder so that she may affix the saya to her back to mount it there for easy drawing. By this time, Tsukiko's Bankai had plunged her surroundings into night, and since she was used to this effect, she simply took a step off her platform, wrapping her body in Reiryoku to lessen gravity around her, and then allowed herself to levitate as she folded her arms across her chest so that she may watch the next events unfold. It was time to gather information on Shiva.

Not only that, but Tsukiko was a noble, for heaven’s sake, and she didn’t doubt that the girl would have mixed with the ‘lower-ranked’ or those that were not-ranked at all, like Shizuka herself. There was no uncomfortableness, funnily enough, to actually looking in the other girl’s eyes or simply placing her arms where they were. It oddly placed her at ease and some of her previous anger at Yokozuki died away, replaced by something a little gentler and softer. However, as Tsukiko suddenly shifted away, she withdrew her hands reluctantly, embarrassment clouding her mind as it seemed to her that the girl had disliked her method of comforting, which she was not intending to do ever again. Firstly lying Nayton’s body on the ground, she slowly approached Tsukiko, her hands palm-up as she attempted to show to her that she wasn’t intending to harm the girl. The progress she made towards the girl was step by step and took an excruciatingly long time. Bending down, she arranged herself so that she managed to half-shield the girl from curious eyes as a public breakdown was never something that anyone wanted people to see.
Not used to situations like this, she found herself at a loss for what she was meant to do and was only able to hang around helplessly, making reassuring sounds while keeping herself at a relatively safe from the girl. “Please come back…this is only hurting yourself,” she uselessly uttered, her own words having an unclear meaning to herself. The giant boulders had been hard to miss and it was quite simple, as soon as she concentrated, to dodge all of them without hurting herself, except for some minor cuts from small pieces that had broken off the larger ones. Concerned with what was happening in front of her, she only noticed the blue arrow because she had been alerted to the presence of Shiva, the new arrival, whom she had turned her focus to for the briefest moment due to the unfamiliar Reiatsu that was surrounding them. She threw herself out of the way of the blue arrow, simultaneously sliding her zanpakuto out of her sheath and activating her Bankai to hurriedly bring up her mental defensive shields around herself. Shooting a quick look at Tsukiko, her eyes widened in surprise as she saw the arrow embedded in the girl’s arm. Panic shot through her and she darted over to the side of the girl, just in time to hear Tsukiko’s words of her being a Hakase and her father’s daughter. However, she definitely did not expect the girl to rip off her skin, let alone what was lying underneath it. “Metal…?” she asked herself, doubting her own eyesight as she had not thought that such a thing would be possible. Tsukiko’s arm at the very least, was completely made of solid metal and from the previous statement of her ‘blood being fake’, Shizuka had a feeling that this wasn’t the end of it. Completely dumbstruck to say the very least, she merely stared at where the skin had been previously, before remembering her manners and politely diverting her eyes, despite the endless amount of questions that were streaming from her mind at this moment.
Waiting silently as the girl went to pick up her sword and clear away the remainder of the tears, she did not know what she was waiting for although the girl did finally talk to her. “I understand, I will not tell anyone.” was her only reply as she inclined her head in agreement, while choosing not to respond to Tsukiko’s thanks. It was not that she was regretting her decision to slip in next to the girl, but she simply thought that she had not done much. After all, she had just been there to lend whatever support and it had been nothing compared to what the girl had done for her. The faintest of smiles appeared on her face as relief flooded in that Tsukiko was fine, but now there were more problems than before. While she could barely feel the pushing presence of Shiva thanks to her shield, but the others would definitely be attempting to drag themselves away from Shiva. Her shield could only accommodate one or two more, but it would get thinner and thinner, leaving more of them in danger of being forced under her mind control. Deciding to leave those terrible choices to later when it became desperate, she hoped that Linuen would be fine, although she did not have time to check up on him now. Instead, taking note of the fact that it had changed into nighttime right now and hiding her shock, she moved forward, positioning herself behind Tsukiko in case the girl might need any back-up anytime soon.

Eight Division Captain
============================================Yukito Shun============================================
 It is through skill that we fightWatching and listening intently as Yokozuki’s rambling continued, Yukito struggled to keep his mind clear of anger, knowing it would mean certain death for him, especially in this kind of situation. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Nayton’s body sublimating into dust, and though he didn’t have the faintest idea of the mechanisms behind Tsukiko’s method of attack, he was certain that the Captain didn’t intend for the Shinigami’s corpse to disintegrate, thus he believed it to be the work of Yokozuki, but then Yukito’s assumptions were immediately disproven as Yokozuki’s face suddenly changed its demeanor, going from utter arrogance to pure shock. Realizing that Shiva’s hold on him must’ve weakened Yukito immediately called out to him ”Captain Nekkyo!” he yelled, before he shut his mouth at the sight of Shiva materializing herself out of Yokozuki’s body.
This was no illusion, no avatar or visage which Shiva would use to communicate with them while she herself remained out of harm’s way, this was the real deal and that chilling fact made the entire situation even more fatal. If not for his strict code of conduct, Yukito would’ve most likely spat out a curse as the very being he was hoping to avoid a direct confrontation with appeared in front of them, directly bringing the fight to them. He had been relatively ignoring Shiva up to now, as she was obviously merely talking to herself, a trait he picked up on people who deemed themselves to be of higher stature than the rest of the people around them. However, the sudden cascade of reiatsu upon them forced Yukito to focus on her entirely. Yokozuki had undergone Bankai release, which in itself was already dangerous, but the sheer difference in their being drove Yukito to address Shiva as the main antagonistic force in the battlefield. He was confused as to who these Occurians Shiva spoke of with such disdain were, Yukito was caught by surprise as the goddess unleashed a veritable hailstorm upon them, composed of unrealistically large hail stones.
Due to his fast reflexes, he was able to dodge all of them, but the goddess was far from finished with them. As the goddess began to accumulate even more power, she released another wave of godly reiatsu, driving Yukito to his knees. It was then that he suddenly found the all too familiar mind invasion, only this time it was far stronger than that he could imagine ”Ah!” came the sudden cry from within his inner world. Fearful for Kasumi’s fate, Yukito quickly delved into his inner world, only to find that the once misty, yet serene plains had been replaced by a white sheet of dead cold snow. Shaking away the shock, he searched the area for Kasumi, before finding her in between two massive intertwining pillars of ice, running towards the shivering girl, Yukito’s eyes widened in shock as he saw that the pillars encased the frozen bodies of Gin and Kiba, protecting Kasumi even in their current frozen state ”…R-run…” came the stuttering whisper of Kasumi ”Run!” she yelled, before a sudden burst of cold air swept over her, freezing the girl from head to toe before it raced towards Yukito. Frozen in his tracks, the Captain barely moved an inch as his body was encased in ice, leaving him numb.
As the frost enchanted arrows whizzed towards him, Yukito’s arm suddenly flickered, before the arrow was split into two, but still continued on their trajectory now only as two projectiles instead of one. Standing eerily silent in the middle of the arctic weather, Yukito’s figure, along with the entirety of the landscape, was suddenly bathed in the dark embrace of night as Tsukiko activated her Bankai to confront and hopefully subdue the possessed Yokozuki. Removing his eyes from the two combatants, Yukito scanned the battlefield, analyzing all of them, or at least those who were not under Shiva’s control. His eyes immediately searched for Senka, finding the child to be seemingly preoccupied he then looked around for Shizuka, finding her near Tsukiko, whose powers he knew nothing about, and though it would be in their best interest if Shizuka was taken out to remove her mind powers from the mix, he couldn’t it risk. Thus he switched to another Captain whose powers he was quite aware; in fact, one might say he had a front row seat to witness them. Truthfully he could’ve just targeted any of the lower seats, but he knew that if he did so he’d be making himself wide open against counter-attacks by the Captains, so he’d just leave them in the hands of the others.
Finally deciding on his prey, Yukito coldly whispered ”Bankai.” the effects of which began to silently manifest themselves in the cold mist surrounding them. Without warning, Yukito suddenly dashed towards Akusuna, deeming his kido spells to be a potential hindrance against them. Utilizing Kazemai, Yukito sped dangerously close towards Akusuna, his already fearsome speed enhanced by the gust of wind that accompanied the technique ”Silver Mist.” he uttered as in mid-flight, ordering one of the wolves to encompass him and render him invisible. However, at such speeds, the shroud was rendered imperfect, and glimpses of Yukito’s figure could be seen behind the shroud. But this was no real setback and the Captain continued towards his comrade with killing intent, brandishing his blade he aimed to split Akusuna in half, separating his torso from his legs by utilizing the Nadegiri technique ”Captain Myori! Jump!” he cried out in vain from inside his head, the pain of having to fight his comrade was something that was far worse than death for someone like him.
[Just read the last paragraph if you want the short story. xd ]It is through unity that we win

Captain of Squad Five
Akusuna had just finished bandaging his arm, and was rubbing the confusion out of his head, when a familiar presence approached from behind. The killing intent of the presence was the only reason he knew to dodge. He crouched low to the floor and pulled his sword out, performing an iai to hit Yukito with the back of his blade. He side-stepped around the Captain too, sheathing his Zanpakutou again and chopped with his hand at the back of Yukito's head. It wasn't that strong of an attack and was only meant to stun the man.
"I am not one of the possessed, Yukito. Don't worry." Akusuna said, not realizing that the Eighth Squad Captain was possessed instead.
It was at this moment that his ears started to ring again, more loudly than before. Groaning, the Fifth Squad Captain staggered a bit and clutched at his head. It was like the sound was filling his mind and echoing more and more loudly. The pain was unbelievable, but even worse, Akusuna's concentration was slowly getting torn apart. Every time he tried to shut out the noise and pain as he had before, it would just start again somewhere else in his head. The Captain was beginning to wonder how much more of this he could take.

 Mikito Sikijiro, Young Sanseki of Squad 13
--------------------------------------
Mikito shruddered and shivered as he lay there limply, internally, he was trying to fight Shiva's control, and on the inside of his concious, there a major problem in his Zanpakotou's world.
Quote: See, Mikito's zanpakotu world is a complex looking place, where it is always night but everything is illuminated clearly, animals would usually roam about, and objects would float around. But this time it was different. Seeing Takai-Usagi in the distance he sprinted towards her, realizing the fact that it was snowing, which wasn't good. 'Mikito.... her power... she's taking control Mikito... you can't... she can't...'Mikito noticed she was binded by chains made out of ice, and Mikito tried to break the chains, but suddenly, chains errupted from the snow and wrapped themselves around Mikito, "What the?!" The chains restricted Mikito's movements and he fell to his knees, but whenever he tried to break free of the chains, he'd feel this extreme pain that seemed to come out of nowhere, "Mikito... focus... you can't lose... you can't!'
While that was going on in Mikito's head, Mikito's body in Asukana's barrier just wasn't Mikito anymore.
The black and white reiatsu he'd normally emit transformed into a cruel icy blue. It was wild and uncontrolled, and it seemed that he was controled like a puppet, as tears fell from his glassy and cold eyes,
"I'm... sorry..."
There was another darker and evil Mikito that invaded his body which was created from Shiva's mind control, and although others would fight this "Mikito" The only true person that could fight this evil Mikito was the real concious of Mikito, bounded by chains inside his own head.
Takai-Usagi screamed in pain as Mikito released her into shikai.
Quote: And inside Mikito's head, Mikito noticed that Takai-Usagi screamed and shouted in worry, "What's wrong?! Are you hurt?!" Takai-Usagi nodded painfully as she panted from the sudden out burst of pain, "Mikito, in the real world, the Mikito that was you became somethinge else that's... not you, although it has taken control of your body, you have enough will to not lend it your... our bankai..." Takai-Usagi smiled almost proudly despite her pain, and seeing her pain, Mikito tried to release the chains and break them, but they only became tighter and tighter. 'Argh... I can't do it...'
In the real world,
The Mikito's shikai release was a pair of clawed gauntlets and boots, and the Mikito drew a wide white circle in front of him. "Usagiakakarui."
The strange floating circle of white turned into a hole, many glowing rabbits jumped out and started flying towards Asukana like homing missles,
"I. Got. You." Said Mikito slowly and darkly as the rabbits glowed intensly before... "Gaugh!" The Mikito held his head in pain and the flying-white-glowing-rabbit-homing missles turned the course into Yukito and exploded like fire works.
"No... I have full control of your body you puny shinigami." said The Mikito to itself, taunting the real Mikito inside him, turning towards Yukito, he bowed apologetically, "My control isn't whole yet, I may have some interference in my fight." The Mikito turned it's evil eyes towards Asukana as he drew a wide black circle over head him, "Higuretobu."
The black circle turned into a hole and fifteen black rabbits jumped high in the air, they all floated there for a pause as long as a hiccup to charge energy, and
then the black rabbits dived down at Asukana at the speed that your eyes can barely follow, and if they were to make contact with him, it would have the same effect of being hit by a lazer gun.
Quote: Meanwhile in Mikito's head, "How did you do that?!" cried Takai-Usagi as the evil Mikito momentairly lost conrtol of Mikito's body. Mikito frowned in thought and shook his head, "I don't know... I was thinking of something but I can't really...""WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT?" Demanded Takai-Usagi with a voice of great authority, "I can't remember! It was just this thought, and then before I knew it I had control for a second!" Takai-Usagi bit her lip and explained in a shaky voice, "Mikito... please recall your thought... please, maybe it was a source of your strength or something... please remember!"Mikito sighed and closed his eyes with a frown, he could barely remember, sometimes a flicker of a thought, but that was it... OOC:// Basically, when there's a quote, it's what's happening inside Mikito's head, as he is conflicting with "The Mikito" and trying to regain control.

 - Akira - Matoko -
______________________________________ Eleventh Division Captain "You've lost. Thats all there is to it." ______________________________________
Akira had watched what had happened, silently, motionless and becoming abit hard to see. This was his objective, for now. Even if it was a few steps backward. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tsukiko facing conflict, since she had taken the now former captain's life. "S-s**t." He said through a shiver of coldness. "Should've let me get that done..I think I could handle it a little bit better..right now though, we might need Tsukiko.." He though calmly, looking back to Shiva finally. He stayed relatively close to Shizuka, to make sure she'd be able to act with out worrying thoroughly about someone having her back, until he attacked at least. First came the ice. They were as easy as side-stepping, left or right before he could be struck. Easy enough..He made sure the others were fine-- well, as fine as they could be for the moment. He saw the small arrows blast toward himself, as well as anyone who wasn't under control. and he jumped up to the side of a tree, and kicked off of it, avoiding any that were on a straight path.
"She hasn't been out in the open for more then 5 minutes and already I hate this psychopath.." He looked at Shizuka once again. It hadn't taken much, but his eyes caught the small glimpse of metal, and his mind quickly made sense of it, took a note, then dismissed it. He saw Shizuka was slightly stunned from the sight, and he murred a bit. "Captain-Hatomi, please don't get distracted..We don't--" He heard Tsukiko now prepare to pay her debt, then he drew Raikou with a loud, "SHLING!" It almost echoed, and then he let a smirk stretch across his face. "Bankai: Kurokishi Raikou." The thump of a sonic boom sounded off, and his form was cased in a black and white orb for a brief moment, and it shrank, seeming to coat him in an energy, somewhat. Perfect..with all this reiatsu, this should be easy." He said. Tsukiko had blasted off, and head toward Yokozuki.
Now, he looked skyward at Shiva. He heard she had been revived only recently after some life times of being sealed away. These were his thoughts. "Perfect..this means that after being sealed so long, it'll take her a moment to get her full power back.." He pointed his index finger up at Shiva's head, and spoke clearly. "Hadou #4 Byakurai!" He said, and the bolt left his finger, literally as bolt of lightning, threatening to pierce her skull as it was in it's path.
