 『Shizuko Yukimori』 Groaning at Noire's seeming love for the dramatic, as was evident by the fact that he did not simply put down Mana, Shizuko Shunpo'd over to her zanpakuto. Now that Shizuko was able to once more use Kido, her Zanpakuto was of utmost importance, as it would vastly increase her abilities.
It was a good thing she did, as was shown by the attack headed straight for Noire from the small, cloaked figure. Though she wasn't entirely sure, she had a good idea of who it was - Mana's Zanpakuto spirit. If she had more time, Shizuko would have reflected on how similar Noire and Mana were - both had very interesting and unique relationships with their Zanpakutos.
As it was, though, she barely had time to act. Unable to release to Shikai, as the attack would hit by then, She threw up a hastily-erected Bakudo #73. Tozansho. While it wasn't enough to completely stop the attack, hopefully it would nullify it enough that being hit wasn't a death sentence for Noire.
With the defense taken care of, Shizuko began prepping for the getaway. "Homage to you, O you lord of brightness, governor of the temple, prince of the night and of the thick darkness. I have come to you. I am shining, I am pure. Bakudo #41, Shadow Blister!" She was using one of the Kido she had created, Shadow Blister. Even as the final words left her mouth, the shadows immediately around her began stretching and bleeding towards each other. Soon, everything within 100 feet would be coated in darkness, leaving everything within blind.
With her tracks covered, Shizuko Shunpo'd towards Noire, intending to grab him and continue out of the area of the darkness. "We have a task to complete, Noire, and with all due respect, it is not the death of Captain Mana. We will be better served by leaving now - I have little doubt that the 2nd Division has received word of what is happening here and is on their way as we speak."

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|| Noire Mistalune ||xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<=>||Sovereign||<=> "I am this world's Sovereign... Theme: End JishinmusumexxxxxWatching Shizuko in action Noire began to thank himself for making the right call on her. She was definitely a valued investment. His voice quiet, he whispered so that neither Mana. nor his zanpakutō could hear him. "Thanks... But, Shizuko... What about the others? We can't just abandon them. Not when we've come so far." He noted she made an attempt to blind them for their escape. "All we need to do is break his blade. His spirit will dissipate then. But... How?" The the idea came to him. He would let Shizuko distract Jishinmusume. "You keep her busy. And I will go for his blade that's still bound. I'll use one special technique for it." He felt completely confident in her ability to keep Jishinmusume busy. xxxxxHolding out his palm, Noire stated, "Bakudō no. 26 Kyokkō." Using light, he bent it and curved it to hide himself. Lowering his reiatsu to a significantly low amount, he moved slowly towards Mana's direction using the spell Shizuko activated as further cover. All Shizuko had to do was keep Jishinmusume busy long enough for Noire to get to Mana and break his blade. As long as he did not draw attention to himself this fight was over. He knew if Shizuko or himself received any more fatal wounds this was going to be bad. They needed to be extra cautious."...Bow down and recognize your King!"

  The petite berserker was visibly upset by the shady tactics of her opponents, she missed her initial strike and then darkness overcame her, they were cowards who refused to face her head on. They would fight her whether they liked it or not, nobody could hide from the very spirit who created the mountains, the queen of tectonic shifts, she would split them in two like a cavern. "You cant hide from me! I'll show you the true might of my powers, darkness or not you wont be safe from my onslaught!" the spirit hissed with much venom, she couldn't forgive these whelps for hurting Mana like they had, her father figure was barely alive because of them, she'd make sure they paid the price with their lives. Jishinmusume was more proficient with the abilities than Mana, she was faster, although not as physically strong, still it didn't matter as her opponents were already weakened for her. The zanpakuto planned to end it all now, they wouldn't survive what she had planned and it all began with her next move. Clapping her hands together she used the same ability Mana had just done to destroy some of the bakuda restraining him, fifty feet around her the vibrations would send anything in her immediate area flying including Mana who had been keeping low to the ground knowing the danger Jishinmusume was about to create. After this she immediately followed up with a second attack sending it in the direction she had last seen Noire, she let out a single high pitched note which carried immense power, it tore up the area in front of her spanning one hundred feet wide and three hundred feet long, Mana had been blown further away and therefore only took a little damage from the wave, it deafened him slightly and bruised him, if the enemy duo were any closer they could expect to be deafened, heavily bruised, and depending on the range they could be facing broken bones. It didn't end there. She was going overkill, her next attack was a joint one, Mana knew this was her ace in the hole and that was why he pressed himself close to the ground to stay out of its path. Using her bankai powers Jishinmusume shot out the two gauntlets attached to the wire, she then began to twirl in a circle at high speed sending the extended fists and wire clockwise repeatedly. After this she fired out the same vibrational beam that Noire had likely come to dread, the beam was shooting from both gauntlets at a constant rate, spinning in circles for ten seconds and reaping heavy damage, destroying many buildings in the division and crushing parts of the wall. This zanpakuto spirit was an even greater force to be reckoned with than Mana had been, truly a creature of destruction.

『Shizuko Yukimori』 Shizuko, who had attempted to follow after Noire, was blown back by the initial stages of the Zanpakuto's attack, coming to rest on the floor only to be sent tumbling once more by the wave of vibrations that tore even the ground itself apart. crashing into the ground, she could feel the lacerations opening on her body as her flesh was torn against the earth. Shakily standing, she found she couldn't hear. The vibrations must have destroyed her eardrums, or temporarily damaged them enough to prevent her from hearing.
The attacks had thrown her clear of the now-complete darkness from earlier, appearing to her as a shaded area, but to everyone else, it would be a void as dark as the night sky. She was unable to locate Noire due to his Kido, and could only hope he was safe. gripping her Zanpakuto, she released to Shikai, determining that she would need the increased Kido strength in order to take on the spirit, as well as conceal what she was casting, without weakening the Kido with abandoning the incantations. "Fade, Shizuka."
Deciding that an area attack would be the best idea, in order to prevent her position from being given away, Shizuko mentally sifted through her known Kido. Quickly deciding on the initial attack, she began casting. "Go - tear flesh, shatter bones. Sink your teeth in and feast. Hado #55. Suchīru Ryūsandan!" A dozen small metallic-looking balls materialized in her hand, and she cast them into the darkness, where they spread along the ground, positioned to blast the area with shrapnel.
Dodging one of the destructive beams that utterly destroyed the portion of wall behind her, Shizuko set about casting another Kido. "Fall, be crushed under the weight of your own hubris. Hado #84. Gravitational Collapse!"
With any luck, the Reiatsu-draining properties of the second Kido would adequately reduce the strength of the spirit's onslaught to allow the shrapnel to pass through without being utterly destroyed. Shizuko held off the the second incantation for Gravitational Collapse, wanting the Suchīru Ryūsandan to detonate at point-blank range before the two-part Hado completed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|| Noire Mistalune ||xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<=>||Sovereign||<=> "I am this world's Sovereign... Theme: The Final KidōxxxxxForced out his hiding, his kidō was disrupted. The vibrations were heavy and Noire dug his heels hard into the ground to maintain his balance. As the mass series of attacks came, he shunpoed in between the claws, avoiding their direct damage, but feeling them scrape across his left shoulder which had already been previously wounded. He winced in pain and came to knee, before rolling to the right to avoid the beams. Donning his hollow mask, Noire held out his middle and index fingers her formed what appeared to be a purple cero. Condensing his reiryoku rapidly, he yelled, "Cero Crepúsculo!" As the final drilling tail attack came, it was met by Noire's condensed cero at about mid-range. The two attacks neutralized one another. Suddenly however, Noire began to feel his reiatsu lowering. He heard the numbers 55 and 84. He had to get out of there fast. xxxxxUsing his Sonído Audaz, he now moved incredibly faster than before. His reiatsu signature disappearing with each sonído. Making his way to the far right, he hoped he had cleared at least a couple hundred feet. He no longer felt the draining affects of Shizuko's binding. "Since we are at the apex of this battle, I will reveal one of the Kidō Corps greatest triumphs and our greatest of secrets... This is most likely my final kidō technique. From the Heavens shall reign down your judgment... its verdict of death." Knowing this fight could not go on much longer, Noire decided to take advantage of her powerful attack which would keep Jishinimusume completely busy. Ignoring 84 and 55 would be her end. He began building up a massive amount of reiryoku, perhaps his last kidō of all. However, Shizuko would not recognize this spell either as it was one of the legendary forbidden spells. Forbidden for their sacrificial natures and the raw power that they unleash. "Call unto the quake that towers above the clouds, the machine of synchronicity, lurking in the white lights that strike down to punish the guilty. Frenzied Wolves reach out to hunt for blood and iron! Shatter the bonds of judgment and choke the sky until it cries out in anguish! Surge! Mar! Destroy the unfurnished swells and strike at the heart of all reality! Shidō no. 102 One-Thousand Thunder-Crashing Fists of Heaven!" From his palm came a mass stream of lightning that ripped into the sky above the 10th Division. It continued as Noire stood still. This was a spell that brought fear into the hearts of all who witnessed its magnificence. If completed, not only would the fight be over, but the 10th Division would be annihilated.1/3 charging period for Shido 102 "...Bow down and recognize your King!"

『Shizuko Yukimori』 Shizuko cursed to herself, realizing that she should have expected the spirit with a built-in grappling system to be able to pull herself out of the Kido. She was once more sent flying by the explosive attack, but quickly managed to right herself and land mid-air.
Though she kept out of the way of most of the stingers, one managed to find her, and sent itself directly towards her chest. Clapping her hands together around it, she quickly cast another Kido. "Bless unto my form that of an iron corpse. Bakudo #42. Shigo Kōchoku!" Choosing to target both her hands with the Kido, Shizuko was able to use her new strength to hold the stinger at bay, inches from impaling her chest, but was unable to push it back.
She was running low on Reiatsu, but this fight was still not over. She Shunpo'd away, still holding the stinger, hoping that whatever it was that Noire did, it would be powerful enough to end the fight. She had confidence it would - it wasn't everyday that a Kido above #99 was used.

Theme: The Final KidōxxxxxNoire smiled as the clouds began to form over the 10th Division. Soon, the lightning would be ready to reign down at whatever Noire focused. He noticed Shizuko struggling and prayed she would be strong enough to keep Jishinimusume busy for just a little bit longer. xxxxxUnnoticed by Mana and Jishinmusme, Noire smiled. It would all be over soon. Even Shizuko knew it. Their victory was soon. He would crush them in a single blow.2/3 charging period for Shido 102 "...Bow down and recognize your King!"

Ubiquitouch Just a quick post to give Noire his opening. Don't feel pressured to take the hits, if you do it wont mean your death as next post Jishinmusume will be gone. Plus it'd probabl be hard for Shizuko to walk if she got impaled by them, Noire would have to carry her and I don't think Shizuko is the type to allow that. xD

『Shizuko Yukimori』 Finding herself pulled towards the spirit, Shizuko softly cursed herself. Of course she would still be able to control the segments. Grabbing hold of one did nothing more than let her know where Shizuko was.
Letting go of the spike, she quickly Shunpo'd away once more, avoiding the other stingers that had converged on her location. She undid the Kido on her arms, and groaned in slight pain - even with the Kido reinforcing them, the vibrations made her arms feel like they had just blocked heavy blows for countless hours.
Shizuko made her way to stand next to Noire, safely out of the range of the Kido he was charging. "What is it?" She asked softly, in awe of the power.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|| Noire Mistalune ||xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<=>||Sovereign||<=> "I am this world's Sovereign... Theme: The Final KidōxxxxxHe knew that the spell had come to its fruition. Reaching into the sky with his manipulation of the reiryoku, he then unleashes one-thousand bolts of lightning which crashed randomly throughout the front-half of the 10th Division. Any structures were reduced to rubble. The remainder of the wall had been brought down. Holes formed in various places. Focusing at least two-hundred bolts towards Mana, they would come down from the sky with the intent to kill. They would strike at his blade with the intent of destroying it to a degree where it was blown up into ten separate pieces. Even if Mana or Jishinmusume were to take the lightning on directly, it would pierce through and destroy the blade they were aimed towards. xxxxxHe turned towards Shizuko, smiling as he knew the battle was over. "One of the 10 forbidden spells as decreed by Court 46. Shidō no. 102 One-Thousand Thunder-Crashing Fists of Heaven. It is a sacrificial spell. In exchange for losing the ability to cast anymore spells for the battle, a spell of such caliber is unleashed after absorbing a mass amount of personal reiryoku. It is used when victory is guaranteed or as a last resort. No Kidō specialists would be so bold otherwise." His voice was warped from his mask still being on his face. He removed it as his eyes returned to their normal coloring. He wouldn't need it anymore. Noire was absolutely sure that they held no chance of surviving this battle-ready. Even if they did, they would be in critical, even more-so fatal positions. "You've done well. I have no second thoughts about taking you with me. That was one Hell of a battle... Mana fought bravely."3/3 charging period for Shido 102 "...Bow down and recognize your King!"

As the sixth seat retreated once more Jishinmusume knew something wasn't right, the clouds in the sky and the lightning building up was a bad sign, it was directly overhead the sealed state of her zanpakuto. The spirit was able to realize their plan but it was too late, it seemed Mana also knew what was happening but was unable to communicate it to her due to his weakened state. She knew if the attack struck her blade she would be destroyed and the battle would be over, she wondered if it would be possible to get one final attack in before everything went to hell although it was unlikely seeing as the lightning seemed about to strike at any moment.
Mana realizing the devastation of the spell, knowing it would destroy if not completely disintegrate his zanpakuto was worried for the safety of Jishinmusume, his zanpakuto spirit was akin to being his daughter and he wasn't going to allow any harm to come to her. The distraught captain despite his current physical strength and the bindings that clung to him was able to muscle up enough power to run at the zanpakuto, shielding it with his body just as the lightning came down to strike him. He was pleased to know in his final moments that he had lost his life protecting someone dear to him, perhaps Jishinmusume would be reborn among another shinigami in soul society and continue to serve justice.
Seeing what Mana was up to the zanpakuto was furious and worried, the lightning was already crashing down and she had but a split second to act before the tenth division captain would be obliterated. She knew he would lose the battle but if she could stop him perhaps he didn't have to lose his life, that was her main goal now. She used her skills in hoho to pratically teleport to Mana's location using her strong legs to kick at his chest and the black pillars around him which sent him flying into the large wall surrounding his division. "Idiot! You can't die and leave me alo-" her words turned from scolding her friend to a scream of pain as the lighting struck her and the zanpakuto at her feet, The body of Jishinmusume was incinerated by the lightning and the blade itself broke into pieces from the impact of the forbidden kido, rendering the zanpakuto completely useless and destroying the threat that was Mana entirely.
The captain was launched to safety, although roughly as his body collided with the wall surrounding his division creating a crater where his bloodied body lay. He was no longer moving however he was awake, his eyes as wide as moons as he watched his greatest friend and adopted daughter destroyed by Noire's treachery. He was silent and stunned for only a few moments before he became unstable and riled up. He struggled in his binding breaking free form the crater and falling to his knees as he tried desperately to break free of the kido which held him, all the while screaming out the name of his lost one. "Jishinmusume! Jishinmusume!! JISHINMUSUME!!!" he let out a strangled cry akin to that of a defeated predator, he felt as if a part of him had been eradicated along with his zanpakuto and the fury he held earlier was pushed into the back of his mind, now only despair set on his thoughts and in his face. His body slumped to the ground, his face meshing with the dirt as he closed his eyes and let a few tears meet with the grass. In the end he was still weak, not only did he fail as a captain to deliver justice, he failed his friend and let her be taken away from him so easily.

『Shizuko Yukimori』 Shizuko watched the display of emotion, not understanding what she felt. She expected disgust, at such a blatant display, but she was surprised that what she felt was more akin to pity. "Yes, he did. We should collect the ones you came for, and depart."
She glanced at Noire, concerned. "Do you need any assistance? Such a powerful Kido must take a great toll on one's body." She was unsteady on her feet herself, but she still had the strength to offer, and so she did.
"Before we leave Soul Society permanently, though, I would request a moment to collect some objects of sentimental value to me, if you would permit it." She needed to visit her family home - there were objects there that belonged to the Yukimori family, not the Gotei 13, and she intended to keep them.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx|| Noire Mistalune ||xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<=>||Sovereign||<=> "I am this world's Sovereign... Theme: Jishinmusume Destroyed, Mana Captured.xxxxxNodding, Noire replied, "I will be fine. Meet me at the Senkaimon." Turning to Mana, he walked past him and found his red robe under some rubble. Tossing the pieces off, he dusted his robe and placed it back on his shoulders. Then he approached Mana, before grabbing Jishinmusume's hilt. "You will now free my brethren... In exchange, I will collect your zanpakutō's pieces. Furthermore, as of now, you are now my prisoner. A fitting title for the pathetic former Warden." Shunpoing to gather up all the pieces, he placed them in the pockets of his red robe. Reaching for Mana, he gripped his collar and drug him towards the cells. xxxxxUsing his reiatsu sensing skill, Noire drug Mana across the ground which was now heavily mishapen and damaged. He would feel all the bumps and scratches. Any wounds would bleed out on the ground in a trail leading to the cells. As they reached the cell of his brethren, Noire pulled him up with one arm using his collar. "Open the doors. Now." Dropping him face-first into the door so that he would slide down against it, Noire waited for Mana's obedience. If he failed to comply, Noire would have continually tossed Mana into the door until it opened. Even if that meant multiple times.[Exit to Desolate Courtyard] "...Bow down and recognize your King!"

Mana became a shell of a man as the arrogant Noire taunted him about his victory, none of it mattered anymore now that Jishinmusume was gone, he could no longer feel her presence anywhere. He didn't care about anything anymore, nothing but grief filled him and he refused to think of anything but his missing spirit, a hole the size of an arrancar's was created in his heart. Being a prisoner did not affect Mana as Noire might have wanted it to, nothing he tried would provoke the captain out of his slump. Even as the snakes hand wrapped around his neck and began to drag him away he did not reply or seem to even comprehend what was happening outside of his sorrow. Before he knew it he was in front of the desolate chambers and Noire raised him up and ordered him to open the doors to the prison, however Mana did not. He looked at the ex-captain with dull lifeless eyes and an expressionless face until he held him against the doors by his neck and rammed him again and again into the surface. His abdomen wound bled with each knock and the back of his head also began to seep before Noire gave one finally push with all of his strength and sent the captain flying through the now destroyed doors.
