♋ Maiban entered the council room. He saw Marta Nicole's boys firing off at the pillars where each espada was to sit. He scoffed, he wasn't very fond of the two but that was something he kept to himself. Stepping deeper in he looked around noticing no one else was in there but the three. He looked them down. Something felt different. He couldn't place it but it was definitely something. He figured it would be explained in the meeting so he didn't ask any questions. "So we're still waiting on the others, huh?"♋
...And I love it"

☆Lobo Renesido☆
As Lobo entered the Council, a bitter air filled it. His eyes were sharpened, and his gaze was fixed upon the woman he had just met but not a while ago. Lobo knew what was going on, he knew what she had done. Lobo's body began to fill with an emotion of the likes he had never stumbled across before. It was a wrenching feeling, twisting all his pain an anger into one. Lobo felt rage, a rage the exceeded any he had felt before.
The woman that stood before him had stolen his life, no more than that, she had stolen his purpose to living. Lobo had spent year training, becoming stronger, dedicating his life to the sole goal of defeating Cillian, and Marta Nicole Earthbound, so easily stripped that chance away from him. Without thinking, Lobo's hand gripped the handle of his sword, causing the bitter cold air to intensify.Just Kill her, Kill her, Kill her minions, KILL EVERYTHING. The Voice of his past self screamed in his mind, tempting him, urging him, COMMANDING him. The grip Lobo had on his sword tightened, his normally blank face filled with the intense hatred that twisted it into shapes that seemed unnatural to him.DO IT, DO IT , DO IT , ENDDDD HER......
But just like that it stopped, the entire event was only a few seconds, however to Lobo it felt like hours. Lobo released his grip on his sword, and his face returned to its normal position. Lobo began to talk half to himself, half out loud. " What is the point in letting myself get this angry, when it is my fault. I was not strong enough to end Cillian's life when the chance was presented to me, but she was. so I guess now I have to move on." Lobo walked away from where he stood, taking a stance in the corner of the room, contemplating his existence
Shortly two figures passed through the council doors. One short and petite the other tall and elderly. Arbutus and Salte had returned from the Forest of Stones. Salte hopped off to find a perch outside the ring of rubble that had once been the ring of pillars. Arbutus walked up to the others, It had been obvious what had occurred in his absence. He had not sensed Cillian at all as he had returned. So what he had felt only briefly had been truth. The Ternary had taken an opportunity and defeated the current ruler.
"Mission Accomplished," The old man said with a short bow to Marta Nicole. He stepped to one side and stood at attention, hands clasped behind his back. Nothing showed on his face, no emotion that hinted at what he thought of the situation.
---
Salte sat perched on a tall pile of rocks, watching the others. It was a rather different crowd that before. Seemed there had been quite the turn over in management. The lesser Arrancars that populated the peanut gallery with her eyed her, but kept their distance. They could sense that she was not the delicate flower they had met before. She could almost hear Fosser in her head joking about her missing an admirer. Here eyes locked on the Skylight twins. She had admirers alright. But that was for only them to know. More than a few eyes watched her from the gallery, some with barely concealed distain others with envy or even infatuation. But none dared to try, not here anyway.

"Rage my be my biggest flaw, but I'll make sure its the last thing you see!"
_Ignion walked in to meeting hall, renewed and fresh. His demeanor was different than before. He walked by Lobo & Maiban. He saw Arbutus & Salte and gave them a nod of acknowledgement as he stood against the pile of rubble. His gaze then shot to the Ternary, his piercing golden eyes cutting through her. His voice had a sinister echo to it. I see someone has been quite the opportunistic lil Espada. This will be an interesting. He chuckled a lil as he turned to see the gathering of lower hollows. He snarled at them as if to say "Know your place maggots!"
Marta Nicole looked around at the gathered Espada and lower ranked Arrancar. She could see question on some faces and understand on others. It didn’t matter what they knew or thought they knew or didn’t know at all. The Cera would be explaining things soon enough.
Marta Nicole pitched her voice to summon silence, “Earlier this day I consumed Corrona Blanca and, took her place as Primera of Las Noches. Upon hearing this news Cillian Folamh, the once Cera, attacked me. As you can plainly see we were the victor and, for our spoils we took his power as our own.” She paused for a moment, “I am the Cera now.” Marta Nicole paused to let that sink in before she continued, “As it stands only one of other the rankings has changed. Arbutus Menziesii is now the Segunda.” Both Adán and Zyne drew their swords, “We will take challengers now, should there be any.”
Then Marta Nicole waited. Some might be foolish enough to try. Some however would be wise enough to realize that there was no point. She was far too powerful right now and, far too attentive to every member of the room. Besides it had been a long time since any Natural had held this much power. The situation was far too unknown for anyone to try something drastic. Still fools would be fools and the Ternary couldn’t fight that.
They would have to explain to Arbutus why he had not been promoted to the role of Primera. The Ternary believed in have a few weapons in reserved. Besides she didn’t want people to question her for making too many changes all at once. Marta Nicole did not want this to end in anarchy.
That being said people could leave now if they wanted but, they would miss the rest of Marta Nicole’s revelations if they did. She wanted to be sure that her fellow Arrancar were going to attack as soon as the Ternary left to go back to their domain. She wanted to get the attacking part out of the way now. It would save time in the long run. It would also give a chance for those with questions to ask them.

"They all fear me...
♋ Maiban listened in silence as Marta Nicole explained what had happened. He wasn't happy. When she offered challengers his entire body tensed up. He wanted badly to release and lunge at her, but that wouldn't be wise. Not only did she have her own strength but the two boys. The odds were stacked for sure if he went in. If Cillian couldn't beat her he knew he couldn't... yet. He was eagerly awaiting her to finish up, from here he planned to get straight to training. He would keep it under wraps though, for if she saw he was getting stronger she may catch on and end him. So as hard as it was he closed his eyes and simply took a breath. Opening them again he had found more calmness. "Those two brats will go too." Maiban laughed to himself. ♋
Arbutus listened to the explanation, no change or movement gave anything away, one way or the other. He acceted his promotion with a simple nod. It had made sense in two ways. He had devoured the previous segunda, and it would cause unrest if the naturals took over completely. The Ternary was quite powerful now after taking Cillian's power. He did not need to fear Cillian losing intrest and discarding him.
Watching the other Espada he did not miss how each wanted badly to accept Marta Nicole's challange. A few barely restrained themselves, plainly noticing their gap in power. This would cause trouble later of course, but it could not be helped. The Arrancar of Las Noches were driver for power.
The old man patiently waited for the others to respond.

Salte blinked when Ignion entered the room, he looked completely different from before, mask and all. He also seemed a bit meaner now, but that might be because he was daring anyone to question his position. The espada always acted differently in the council room, like a bunch of lions barely keeping from attacking each other for dominance.

"Rage my be my biggest flaw, but I'll make sure its the last thing you see!"
_Ignion wasn't shocked by her news. He was actually amused. I had a feeling that's what happened. Survival of the strong I say. He said with chuckle. With great power comes great responsibility, plus karma is a enormous b***h. What you have done to Cillian will come back to take a bite out of your a** "Cera" He said playfully. ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Lobo returned to himself as Marta Nicole began her speech. She spoke of her new power, something he was sure that all the other Arrancar were already aware of. Lobo knew that she and he were similar. They were bound by different laws than the other Arrancar. They were both Natruals. And though he had heard that in terms of power that they were weaker, the current standing of the Espada showed otherwise.
Now, with nowhere left to turn, no reason to live, Lobo turned to Marta Nicole Earthbound, A shining example of the sheer capability that Naturals had. But in his mind, he was still torn on what she had done, what she had stolen from him. He pushed himself to try, try and accept the fact that indeed he was weak, but he could not. Every muscle in his body twitched, wanting to attack, wanting to kill her, yet at the same time, he wanted ever so zealously to follow this woman into the future she might lead them into.
Lobo was in both Physical and Mental strain, his body began to hurt, and it felt as if he was struck inside of his own eternal prison, to be forever trapped in this one moment in time, a moment that would alter the course of the rest of his life. Going against the Arrancar, the Espada, he would only get so far until he got himself killed, yet part of him was ok with that, part of him wanted the mutual destruction, even if he could not take out Marta, he knew he could take out a large part of her coalition. But the other part of him wanted to become stronger, stronger so that nothing could stand in his way, and through the Espada, and training with the other Naturals, he could do that.
Once again, he body relaxed, and time moved at its normal pace, he looked at Marta Nicole with eyes that could only be equated to black holes, absorbing everything before them. Then he spoke, loud enough for all the Arrancar to hear, in a voice filled with challenge, question, and anger. ” Tell me something Marta Nicole, tell me why I, no why we, should follow you. I believe I speak for everyone when I ask what it is you plan for us, or do you intend to blindly lead us into the void. Give me a reason why I could no turn my blade on you right now, tell ME why I follow you. Give me this and you shall have either my eternal allegiance, or a vengeful enemy.” His word brought forth the kind of tension that could choke a man. Anything slight could set off a reaction that could get many killed, but at this point, Lobo’s only concern was Marta’s response.
Marta Nicole listened to Ignion and could feel Maiban’s desire to lunge. She already knew what they knew. She did not plan to die of old age. Nor did she plan to retire. She already knew that one day she would die at the hand of someone either looking for more power or looking just to survive. That was the way of this white washed world. Still she did not respond to either of them.
It was Lobo Renesido that got a response, “Because the Soul Society knows we exist now. We already know that the Shinigami don’t like Hollows and they certainly don’t like unknowns. As soon as they figure out how they will make plans to destroy us.” Marta Nicole smirked, “Tell me Renesido can you fight the Soul Society all on your own? If you can feel free to leave. What is one more enemy to an Arrancar after all?” The Cera took a single step towards the Tercera, “But before you go know this.” Marta Nicole made eye contact with all the Espada, “You all should know this.” Her gaze turned back to Lobo, “I protect my own. I will not send you into battle if I would not go myself. I will not leave you behind to die just to ensure my own survival. Swear your loyalty to me and, I will ensure that unless you are stupid you will survive while I am Cera of Las Noches.” Marta Nicole gestured to the boys on either side of her, “Call me odd because of it but, I value loyalty.”
Marta Nicole was not like Cillian who simply saw Arrancar as tools for his own recklessness. She knew the value of loyalty. She was not asking anyone in this room to trust her, blindly or otherwise. She was not asking them to prove themselves trust worthy. They were Arrancar and Arrancar looked after themselves first. Still she would tell the truth. If they were loyal to her she would be loyal to them. Perhaps that was not the greatest incentive in the world but, in Hueco Mundo it was different. Perhaps the intrigue of it would keep Lobo in Las Noches for now.
As for her plans, which were fairly simplistic, she would be more than happy to share, “As for my plans, I plan on making Las Noches strong, as strong as it can be. We have enemies from both the Soul Society and Arturo Plateado. When those battles come, for they will come whether we start them or not, I plan for Las Noches to emerge stronger as a result. To do that we must first strengthen what we have and learn of our resources.” Marta Nicole was still smiling an eerie smile as she asked the room at large, “Any more questions?”
Let Lobo leave if he wanted to. Let whoever wanted to leave, leave. What was one more enemy to an Arrancar? Or two? Or three? Or even four? Enemies were the way of both Hueco Mundo and Las Noches. If Marta Nicole gained new ones today so be it? She would face the challenge the same way she always did. If she survived she became stronger. If she failed she was dead so it no longer mattered.

♋ Maiban nodded listening to her speak. She promised them a greater future and claimed to have 'large plans' for them all. Maiban wasn't sold. "What else is a leader to say? 'I'll now ruin your lives!'? No, no a leader would always sell the dream to their followers, and so far she seemed no different. " As skeptical as he was Maiban would play her game as long as need be. "So is that all?" He wished to leave and go train, he had to be strong enough to handle her should the time come. ♋

"Rage my be my biggest flaw, but I'll make sure its the last thing you see!"
_Ignion laughed at the scene before him. He was amused by them. He saw Maiban itching to kill her but restrained himself. Lobo was concerned for how well the Marta would lead tem. Ignion didn't care walking up to her he gazed at her with his glowing golden eyes. So tell me ol' powerful natural, where does the Diaz Espada fit into your plans. He narrowed his eyes at her waiting to hear her response. ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Arbutus did not feel a response was necessary. The Ternary knew to whom he owed allegiance. "Yes a plan would be wise," He said finally. Hopefully Marta Nicole had something in mind. A tangible goal was a far better than a vague ideal. He was certain she was far better at managing this place than he.
Salte, still sitting atop her high perch, was a little unnerved at the level of bloodlust in the room. It seemed several of the espada had intended to take cillian down themselves and were pissed at losing their chance. She wondered if any of the other lesser arrancar here were fraccions too.

sorry for the short post, not much going on right now
