Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No, of course not. That would be absurd." She cocked an eyebrow at him and lowered her hand to her side, letting her blood just drip out. She felt her heart slow down, signaling that the organ was responding to her wound and sudden difference in the flow of liquids throughout her body. Any second now the heart would recalculate itself and and the "blood" would stop leaking out. This was a built in fail-safe for the sole-purpose of preventing waste of the superhuman drug and the acid stored in her body. Sure enough, within the next few seconds, she stopped "bleeding".

"Yes, of course. As if I could feel pain, I'd need nerves for that. Fresh out of those, as it stands." Tsukiko again cocked an eyebrow, but this time at Elisia, and spared her a grin. "Save your breath, Elisia-chan. You couldn't heal me, very few parts of my body are organic. My skin is not one of them. Synthetic skin with a rubber base. Top secret, hush hush." She smiled her quirky, seven year old smile and looked at her hand. "Nope... unless you can reverse damage like that Orihime woman then there's not much you could do." She spoke of Inoue like anyone around her would know of her. While records of Kurosaki Ichigo and his friends were not necessarily kept locked up so tight that no one could get to it, they certainly weren't paraded about. Only those lucky enough to get their hands on old documents would ever know about them. When she realized what she had said, she waved this comment off and returned focus to Elisia's earlier comment. "The mines, I doubt they will need tending to. They just... boom." She emulated an explosion by first cupping her undamaged hand, letting the tips of her fingers touch, then spreading them out quickly. "Not much to it, really. Aside from the awesome way it works, of course."

Lee remained silent as the others began talking again nodding to Elisia at the mention of her being able to bind with light so he had a chance to try. Then Takumi mentioned being able to do an elemental binding and Lee nodded again slightly relieved that he didn't have to try though he was still planning to try. He listened to Aoshi explain his Zanpakuto to everybody making a mental note of how interesting that sounded. He then watched Tsukiko and Aoshi as they did their little thing noting the way Tsukiko's blood seemed to melt into the ground. Then the blood stopped just as Elisia approached her and they began conversing back and forth. Lee only caught bits and pieces of the conversation as he stopped listening pleased with the plan and began to relax while waiting for the hollow to return.

Yoshiezawa finally arrived to the area where his vice captain was. His body faded in quickly as he was using Shunpo to get there as fast as he could. He looked around and saw that there were several Shinigami all surrounding an area. Yoshi walked over slowly to the group seeing an abundance of blood that had dropped onto the floor, strangely of different colours. "Lieutenant Tsukiko I have arrived. Sorry about the delay". Yoshie's eyes were fixated on his Lt, not seeing her in action before but only from a distance he wasn't sure what his Lt was capable of or even what her personality was like. His eyes shifted quickly to the weird coloured blood that was pooled on the floor before darting back up towards Tsukiko. 'What is this... Blood? Better not ask yet.' Yoshi thought to himself trying his best to keep his thoughts from showing.

Elisia flashed a brief smile at Takumi. At least she could stop referring to him as the 'other Lieutenant'. She noticed the new person. Apparently he wasn't a Lieutenant, although he was obviously in Tsukiko's squad. Did he know her very well? She did not bother to think properly, sitting down and relaxing so that she would not be stressed when the Hollow finally arrived.

Tsukiko quirked Yoshi an eyebrow and gave him a slight nod, showing that she had at least acknowledged him. She was quiet for a few moments, then the Gillian appeared. She had been anticipating this, but that didn't make it any better. She frowned and looked up at the oncoming hollow from different Garganta. "Tch... and me without a single bladed weapon." Tsukiko said right before becoming transparent as Reishi gathered around her entire foot. She ran towards them, creating foot shaped imprints in the ground as she moved. Shukuchi, an exclusive move that she used, specializing in rapid steps as opposed to the long strides in Shunpo. She arrived at the foot of a throng of gillains and leapt into the air, overrode the fail safe in her heart and released the super human drug from her veins. By flicking her wrist at the group, she splashed the drug over about 7 of them. It took a few moments, but the drug seeped into their bodies and went to work. After the drug took effect, they had their perception of time slowed down by trillions of times. "And that's how we do it in the 12th Division!" She laughed and jabbed her finger in their direction before her arm began to give off a dagger-shaped glow. "Hikiyoseru ga hajikikaesu, Jūshin." She made a move of her hand and the other three near her Garganta dropped to the ground like magic.

[Tsukiko took out 10 Gillians. The rest of you need to note how many you kill/take out so I don't have to count and so we know how many are left.]

Yoshi gave a small smile and nodded at his Lt as she nodded to him but soon after Gillians started to appear, but by the time he could act upon Tsukiko, his Lt, had already fired off using one of her many techniques to dispose of the Gillian. He watched in awe as his own superior took these down like they were just play toys. ‘I didn’t know she was this strong he thought to himself as he watched Tsukiko jump into the air and releasing some sort of drug from her vains. “I heard of that move but I have never actually had the chance to witness it first hand, slows down their reactions I think…”, He spoke quietly to himself but anyone close enough would be able to hear his own thoughts. Without having any bladed weapons this was an amazing feat to behold as she was taking them all down without breaking a single sweat to fall down her forehead.

Yoshi, although seeming very much astonished by the feats which his Lt was performing, was still disappointed due to the fact that there was no need for his own help. ‘I at least want to fell my blade cutting though the soft flesh of that of a Gillian’ . As Yoshi thought to himself he began to give a quick gallop towards one of the paralysed Gillians and plunged one of his knuckle blades into the white plain foot of the large beast. He then placed both of his feet onto the foot of the Hollow and pushed off flipping in mid air to reach the other foot, which looked exactly the same. Yoshi dived, with his hands held out in front of himself, into the other foot of the Gillian causing another wound.

Blood trickled down these two wounds but something seemed to happen. Small electrical surges could be seen by these wounds, this causing the nerves of the Gillian to swap meaning if the Gillian tried to move his right foot, the other foot would move and vise versa. Yoshi thought to himself as he admired to seeming impressive feat to himself at which he had just done ‘Pointless… But so cool!’. Yoshi would then pull the blades out of the foot of the Hollow and jumped back to watch his own handy work while admiring Tsukiko and awaiting for her next impressive move.

((Umm.. I am guessing that only ten Gillians came out of that Garganta.))
