A couple of Sonido brought Cillian to where an odd portal had been and he promptly tossed the radioactive piece of ice a few hundred feet away from him. There, he took a few seconds to observe the burnt flesh of his palm and arm, price for carrying the load he had brought along, before turning his attention back to the portal. It was through this rip in time and space that two Shinigamis had entered Hueco Mundo without sounding the alarm. To say that it was aggravating would be an understatement because something had gone past the defense mechanism Cillian had set up. It was still floating in midair, stable even after so long. Through it, Cillian could see what appeared to be a deserted town, its inhabitants most likely evacuated long ago. Without a doubt, the Shinigami should be aware of it by now which made his following moves a bit riskier, but all the more thrilling.
To make sure that the Espada knew where the meeting was to take place, Cillian increased his Reiatsu so as to give away his location to the beings within Las Noches and most likely to the Shinigami on the other side of the portal. In the distance, a rumble could be heard and felt as vines and plants slowly snapped, one after another, at the onslaught of an invisible force.

The Empty Strife
The Cera Espada
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
A thought crossed Cillian's mind as seconds turned into minutes in his wait and the nauseating Reiatsu emitted from the frozen body a few strides away increased in power. Wordlessly, he Sonidoed to her and ripped open a Garganta behind her encased body. It would be a long trip, but her inability to move made calculating the trajectory a simple thing. A small Bala, just enough to help her cross the void between Descorrer portals was shot her way. The impact lifted her from the sand and cracked the thick block of ice surrounding her body. No doubt, it would be just enough for her to eventually break free unless something else helped her escape her prison, something like a fall from few hundred feet high in the air and into the location Cillian had managed to trace from his human's deceased partner's communication device. It was time to give Bellatrix her due.
_Ignion left his sparring match with Maiban to report to this summons of Cillian. Seeing how he was the first to arrive he walked to Cillian. Whats up Cero? He then caught the scent of rotting flesh. Damn that wreaks! Im guessing that was our lil radioactive orchid huh? He stood there looking at the portal and could smell the stench of soul reapers on it. So it seems we have some unwanted guest huh? Should I go and show them some hospitality?
Ironically, it was the Decima Espada that had arrived first from what appeared to be a scuffle. Hopefully nothing was damaged beyond repair; concrete and stone could be easily replaced, but the same could not be said for Arrancars, at least proper Arrancars worth Cillian's time. Ignion's comment made Cillian look down at the inside of his arms and palms where his skin had made contact with the ice that had encased Mel while he had carried her. There was indeed a light layer of burnt skin and rotting flesh. It wasn't the pain that bothered Cillian for that it was more of a dull sting than anything, but the smell that would be following him wherever he would go for the next few days. "Yes, that was our radioactive orchid. I'm afraid that she has withered by now so I thought it fitting to send her to an old friend as a parting gift,"he answered before turning towards the portal that had caught Ignion's attention. "I was about to explain this when our new Tercera barged in. The guests have already been taken care of, but they have left the front door open, something I don't particularly like, but door are two way passages."
"By now, the human world should be dealing with what has become of Mel Du Sable. You are young so you may not know of this, but she was the last of the second generation of Arrancars. They were extremely powerful, but highly unstable. She was never meant to last this long. With what my predecessor had left me, I pushed back this day as much as I could, but it was a real miracle she lived past her 1st century."
"What she would do to the human world should keep the humans and the Shinigami busy for a little while. In other words, this is our chance. Unfortunately, our main objective won't be to destroy the Gotei 13, not today at least." There, Cillian paused and turned towards the north. "Can you feel it?" Unlike the presence of single spiritual beings that appeared as small spots of energy in their mind's eye, a veritable tidal wave of pure Reiatsu was looming in the distance. "During my earlier visit to the Forest of Stone, the wall of sekkiseki keeping all that at bay, I may have destroyed more than I should..."
_Ignion took in Cillian's words as his wounds from his bout with Maiban began healing. Part of him wanted to jump through the portal and watch the result of Mel being dumped onto the world of the living's front door, but as Cillian said that time will come. He then turned his attention to the north and could feel the immense pressure of reiatsu coming from that direction. It excited him, his primal instincts reading the immense pressure as if it was a worthy foe. A smile painted his face. Yeah, yeah I can feel it Cero. So what do you propose we do about it? If you ask me I think we need to close it if it is going to cause future problems for us.
"Definitely. I am quite surprised to see that no apparent measures have been taken to close this portal." As if to demonstrate what he had just said, Cillian approached the portal and poked his arm in before retreating. Nothing had happened; no barrier had been set up to prevent the crossing. "Perhaps it is as much of an enigma to them as it is to us, but right now, it plays in our favor."
Just then, a mixed group of Hollows, Menos Grande and Arrancars arrived. None of them were exceptional Reiatsu level but all of them were of great size. They appeared agitated, both unsure and excited after identifying where the portal in front of them led to. "The Shinigami have built their base inside a Shakonmaku membrane produced by a wall of Sekkiseki. I will attack Rukongai as a distraction for they know of my identity."
"The previous Cuarta had brought back valuable information after his last visit to Rukongai before he had passed away. In what the Shinigami call Mt. Koifushi lay a line of sewer exhaust that connects Rukongai to Seireitei. Of course, the barrier prevents us from using it as a gateway and that is where these Menos Grande and their ability to create Kumons that lead into Seireitei despite the barrier that surrounds it. The exact layout of Seireitei is still unknown to us, but we have the coordinates needed to transport you lot into the sewers. It may be a be crammed underground, but not many guard them so it will gain you some time. From there, try to mine as much of their sekkiseki as possible. You have [14 real life days] to do so before we will open another Kumon and use Negacion to extract you from that location. Do you feel comfortable doing so alone or would you rather wait for a partner?"
Lobo Stood silent for a moment as Cillian grabbed the body and left. Though he had not been defeated, he had definitely lost to Cillian. However, in his failure he was presented a chance to become stronger so that next time, Lobo's Victory was assured. And though Lobo felt strongly about Cillian he did not quite hate him, the only thing that gad made him mad was his insufficiency in defeating Cillian, A feeling long since passes leaving him in a better mood.
Lobo did not want to stay where he was too long, and the structure were beginning to cave it from his battles. Following Cillian's lead, Lobo exited into the dunes of Huuco Mondo. There he saw Cillian and the Red Haired one talking to each other about something. Lobo had wondered where it had gone, so he looked around to see where it had might been placed. His eyes wondered around searching, until he saw a strange rip in the sky. Lobo had never seen anything like it, though there had not been much that Lobo had seen. He had not spent much memorable time outside of the Frozen Heart, His home. Many things from this world, let alone the world beyond Huecco Mundo, were known by Lobo. Many a time he wondered what it would be like to venture beyond.
Cillian was giving the mission to the Red Head, and though he had asked him to if he wanted people with him, Lobo stepped in before he could answer "Perhaps I can accompany him, since I work for you now, it would be a good introductory mission for me" He looked at the Red Head. "Perhaps we can get along better." He was unsure on how the Red Head felt about him, but based on thier first encounter, There was definitely some strong feelings there. Perhaps working together would make meads, or make them stronger. Either way Lobo would get a chance to go to the Shinigami world.

►Name: Ignion Las Dragunda ►Rank: 10 ►Sexuality: Bisexual ►Mood: Calm ►Current Thought: What up Cero?
"Rage my be my biggest flaw, but I'll make sure its the last thing you see!"
_Ignion spun his head around as Lobo chimed in before he could answer Cillian. Hearing that he wish to burry hatchet made Ignion laugh. "Yeah I'd like to burry the hatchet in your head wolfy" After laughing to himself he placed his hand on Lobo's shoulder. I don't see why not. It will make for a great chance for us to bond, after all our first encounter was a bit harsh. If you don't mind Cero i'd like to have wolfy here as my partner.
The Tercera had taken the initiative which suited Cillian just fine. "Very well. I would suggest you stay away from the sekkiseki stone and protect the muscles from a distance so that your powers won't be sapped away." He paused there, as though weighing his options before adding. "While you are there, feel free to do some…sightseeing while I keep them busy. One of the Arrancars that had previously held the title of Primera never returned after her trip to Soul Society..." With a small inclination of the head, he ordered the assembled Hollow and Fraccions to ready themselves while he approached the wormhole that would transport him to Rukongai.
"Two of you are leaving, I would like to see both of you return," he simply said as farewell before leaping through the bright ring that bridged both worlds. It was a sharp contrast to the darkness that came out of Hollow-made Garganta meaning that he would need extensive research before he could figure out how to properly seal it. Unbeknownst to him, his previous actions had been what had created this wormholes by disrupting the balance between worlds.
A few minutes after Cillian left for Rukongai, one of the spectating Menos Grande roared, drawing large Garganta passage that led into the bowels of Seireitei. As soon as it did, the crowd of Hollows rushed through them, avid for what damage they could potentially do onto their natural enemies.
_He nodded at the words of the Cero and watched as he stepped through the wormhole. Ignion turned to Lobo and scratched his head. I guess this means we gotta get to know each other. The name is Ignion Las Dragunda, Espada #10. I may be lower in rank but im no push over either, just ask Espada #4 He learned the hard way. I'm a lil hotheaded but that doesn't make me a incompetent, in fact im quite brilliant. My anger just gets the better of me is all.
He stepped towards the wormhole he, Lobo, & the horde of hallows were taking and motioned for the hollows to flood the portal. Turn his head slightly away from Lobo he smirked. Come on wolfy, its time for the Fire & Ice devils to play guard duty my friend. He chuckles as he steps into the portal behind the legion of hallows.
Cillian hastily emerged from the wormhole and spun around, Bala at the ready just in case his opponent had chosen to follow him instead of returning to Seireitei. A quick scan of his surroundings revealed the presence of the group of Hollows he had sent to Seireitei. They were unscathed for the most part and, ever the opportunists, were eyeing his injuries with concern and hope in their eyes.
Sensing their hidden intentions, Cillian grit his teeth and released even more energy into the cells of his body, trying to accelerate meiosis while he focused back on the problem at hand. This wormhole, as useful as it had been, needed to go, but Cillian wasn't sure what to do for once. It was a phenomenon he had never observed before and he did not have enough data from which to extrapolate.
For now, he could not afford to take his time to analyze the situation and could only take a few wild guesses before acting. The wormhole connected two realms together; surely, a Hollow's ability to use Descorrer could affect it so Cillian drew a thin line in the space between the wormhole's ever oscillating edges.
As expected, the Garganta widened until its dark edges met those of the wormhole and fused into one, but, although they had similar results, they were still different from one another. Before long, the Garganta destabilized the wormhole, forcing it to collapse dangerously quick into itself like a miniature black hole that swallowed sand and Hollows alike.
Cillian only made it out of its range in the nick of time by testing the limits of his Resurreccion's power and pushing himself away in a powerful leap after which he remained seated in the white sand dunes, far away from what he assumed to be the Sekkiseki he had ordered the Hollows to retrieve. He was as composed as ever outwardly, but he would be lying if the events had not taken a toll on his body. The last thing he needed was those pesky stones sucking away even more of his strength.
He was covered from head to toe in burns and had gaping wounds on his back. Seeing him in such a state would be a first for many Hollows that would surely come inspect what was the source of the commotion. He really couldn't be bothered with reinforcing his authority right now so he remained in a sitting position while he shifted his attention to understanding his body better so that he may heal himself.

As the Ternary raced they did their best to pull their spiritual pressure in as tight as they possibly could. They had no desire to broadcast there increase in strength. Once they saw the Cera concentrating on healing his injuries Marta Nicole stopped. There were no words needed between the Ternary at this point. The boys raced ahead to take up positions on either side of Cillian. It was not quite a position of protection. It was more like a pose designed to encourage conversation.
Zyne dipped is head once, “Cera. Welcome back. Much has happen while you were away.”
Adán nodded his head as well, “Yes, I believe that our Mistress wishes to speak with you in great length.”
Yes she did. Marta Nicole wanted to speak with Cillian about a great many things. She wanted to reemphasizes their original arrangement as well as express her shock and disapprove at sending even the two strongest Espada save him to the Sea of Purity without safety precautions. If he treated even the most loyal Arrancar like that how would he treat those who openly wanted him dead? How would he treat those like Marta Nicole and her Skylight twins who were only here and serving him because it was the most logical option?
Marta Nicole finally reached Cillian and bowed slightly before rising, “Cera. You’re arrival is welcome. However we might want to retreat to inside Las Noches. That at least will provide some protection from the threat coming our way.”
Her lips were a thin line as they pressed together. Her eyes were flashing with both warning and anger. Cillian had a lot to catch up on and, here was not a good location to do so. Marta Nicole hoped that Salte and Arbutus would follow her lead and, not just start speaking about all that had happened and all that was discovered. Now that Marta Nicole thought about it even without her change in power and possibly rank she had technically been in charge of Las Noches while the others had been gone. That was good. Maybe the other Arrancar would think she was just talking about a mundane report and standard Arrancar caution. The Ternary were trying to suppress their spiritual pressure so to avoid alerting any of their increase in power. They had no desire to fight while everyone was in danger. They were not sure how successful they were in achieving that goal. It was very possible that all of the gather Espada could sense the strength the Ternary were hiding and knew that only Cillian was stronger. At bare minimum Cillian would most certainly know that something was different.

►Name: Ignion Las Dragunda ►Rank: 10 ►Sexuality: Bisexual ►Mood: Calm ►Current Thought: Lets go Cero
"Rage my be my biggest flaw, but I'll make sure its the last thing you see!"
_Ignion stepped through the wormhole right as it was collapsing and used his resurrection form to escape the black hole effect. Floating in the air as he watched the cero. He was unsure as to how the cero was going to use the stone they had been ordered to gather. Landing next to the hollows, but at a distance from the stone, he ordered them to move the stone to a safe place. Coming out of his resurrection form he came to stand by the cero as the quinta was addressing him. I agree. your wounds are too great to be sitting out in the open like this lord cero. He then turned his gaze to the quinta. I don't believe we've officially been introduced comrade, Im Ignion Las Dragunda, 10th Espada, my lady. As he awaited her response he extended his hand in order to help the cero inside to safety.
Ignion couldn't help but take into account the cero's state, seeing someone so powerful in such a state. Ignion's beast like instincts suggested he just outright kill the cero, but his dragon honor wouldn't allow it. He simply had too much self respect to resort to such tactics. If Ignion was going to kill you he rather you see it coming.
Lobo hopped out the portal which had swallowed him up and taken him out of the Soul Socoty and back to Huuco Mundo. The sight that laid before him was evem more interesting. Ignion, a strange trio that he had met when he when he first invaded Las Noaches, and a substantial weakened Cillian. Lobo was unsure of what could have done this to him, however that burn and wound that were on his body led Lobo to believe he had breen through some sort of ordeal.
Lobo was surprised that Cillian would let himself be so close to someone who only just resently try to kill him. Lobo could take this opportunity to finish him, and finally fulfill himself. However, Lobo didn't want to. Not only was Cillian surrounded by his supporters, but Lobo's urge for knowledge and understand of the world he had now thrown himself suppressed him.
Lobo throw a glance over at the Arrancar trio. Something about them seemed familiar, akin to himself. Though they were all Arrancar, Lobo's high perceptuals could feel a difference in between himself, and Ignion. Lobo was not sure what set them apart, but he had an idea it tied to the word, "Natural", he had heard when he had gotten into the meeting chamber a while ago. Lobo continued to stare at them, in a seemingly awkward manner that stemed from years of soical solitude.
Finally Lobo turned back to Cillian and looked at him with a stoic face."Cillian, I agree with the other two that we should get you back to Las Noaches, however; when we get back and you feel better, I have several questions for you. Namely the importants of this Aruthro character. We ran into some of his work, and I thought you might know something to help me understand it." Lobo had became a rather curious being in his first adventure to the outside world. Perhaps, he could make more allies and connections that would help him in the future.
Salte Pichi arrived shortly after Marta Nicole, her sonido was not as fast as the espada's and she had lagged behind a bit. Her first impluse was to rush to Cillian and begin healing him, but there were a bunch of otheres about. A herd of big hollows with some kind of rock, and two other espada. Taking a position behind Marta she waited for instructions, staying in CIllian's line of sight if she was called.
The air shimmered a second later and a tall elderly arrancar stepped into view. Taller than the rest of the a espada, but not quite as big as the lesser hollows. He took in the Cero's state for a moment, "Welcome home. Lord Cero."
Arbutus was distracted for a moment by what the hollows seemed to be struggling with. His brow rose when he recognized what they had. A sizable chunk of Sekkiski stone! If his theory panned out this would be quite valuable. With a wave of his hand the stone lifted off the ground despite it size, and began to move toward the palace. A mass of vines and tough roots had attached themselves to the bottom of the stone and were used like legs. In this way the stones properties would not harm the hollows or arrancars that got near it.
