Welcome to Gaia! ::

[crashes in from Lemo's Lab]

The outside corridor of the Maniak Wing was peaceful. Clean. Silent. All that suddenly changed when one of the outer walls from Lemo's lab exploded as an armored Bount crashed through, scattering rubble and debris all over the once clean corridor.

With the power of Xeion's kick still overpowering his body, Ky had no choice but to allow the momentum to take him and wait for it to die down as Ky tumbled violently across the floor of the corridor, damaging the floor and creating sparks due to the friction with the concrete when his orihalcum body made contact with it. His violent trip came to a stop when he crashed on the metal railings, hence putting a stop to the ride.

Standing up, Ky shrugged off the dirt from his armor and rubbed his chest since it was the only part where he felt pain. The orihalcum protected Ky from receiving additional damage from the violent rolling as well as the crash, but to think that a physical attack from Xeion was able to make Ky feel pain even tough he wore the toughest armor around which could even withstand time itself without losing its quality made Ky think just how dangerous his lieutenant had become.

Ky smiled. "Well, well, it seems as if the White Rabbit is actually a monster in disguise," muttered Ky as the adrenaline started coursing through his body due to excitement. Raising both his arms, both of them transmuted and became gattling guns, aimed at the hole to Lemo's lab and opened fire, sending a relentless wave of armor-piercing bullets with no regard as to whomever was inside as long as it was able to hit of keep Xeion busy. "C'mon, Xeion, get out here right now! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Even though Ky did this, he wasn't going to let himself be tricked by Xeion's cunning tactics and prepared for anything he might try. Readying his hydras, Ky continued his assault on the hole while his hydras were on standby, ready to attack anything organic that came within a 10 meter radius of him.

With Hawk's lance coming within the range of Ky's hydra's attack circle, one of the tentacles flew toward Hawk's direction and intentionally went past the arrancar's line of sight as well as tapping Hawk's weapon which was aimed at Evil's left eye, changing its course. Then, the hydra head jackknifed back, but this time rushing past in between Ashley and Hawk's cero as the head went back to Ky. With the distraction provided by that one hydra head, it gave Evil and Ashley a chance to avoid Hawk's attacks although that wasn't the intended effect Ky had in mind, but still beneficial to the shinigami Hawk was fighting against.

Turning to Hawk's direction, he hissed. "b*****d, don't involve yourself in other people's fights if you don't want other people to get involved in your own, you nosy piece of garbage!" Ky mocked in a serious, angry tone of voice then returned to face the hole in the wall and shouted, "Get the ******** out here, Xeion!!"

Kotsu the new born arrancar drew ever closer to the fighting already taking place. Like a mouse in a maze he was drawn to the scent of blood and the chaotic energies of opposite reietsu clashing against each other. He stopped only for a moment to try to feel out the energy levels of the enemies here. What he found brought an evil grin to his face. "If he only knew" he muttered to himself in some ironic humor. He began walking down the corridors of Las Noches trying to find the best place to put a door.

Hawk was not impressed, and he was barely getting started, because he wanted to do damage ot this being. He was anxious as she pinned his arms, moving in for the kill..

"That's right Captain, show them..." he said coldly, then pushed off the ground, shifting his weight to the arms that Evil was detaining and used them for leverage. She used a sonido's equivelant of a flash step, and shot his knee straight at Evil's jaw, twisting his body sideways and rolling the lance to where it slipped out from under Evil's foot.

He then rolled his shoulder with the weapon at her feet, hoping to make her go into a complete 180 degree spin from her feet getting swiped out from under her and the knee's force.

As he made his way into the tower, Jan could feel many spiritual pressures inside. It seemed that a battle was already taking place, but the Shinigami meant to be rescued was still alone. Calling back to the Shinigami that had been following him, Jan tried to formulate a quick plan. "We're gonna try to get in and out of here relatively quickly so we can head to the next group of prisoners. There's so many others here already that we shouldn't have much trouble getting through, but you never know for sure, so keep your guard up!"

Jan ran around the room, trying to get through the fighters, but it seemed that at least one Arrancar remained engaged. Perhaps he would get in the way...?

((Bit of a pause before moving on, to give anyone who want to stop us a chance.))

As Xeion struck Ky, after blow after blow hit him without so much as a form of resistance from Ky, Xeion couldn't help it but feel worried. If Ky were to willingly subject himself to harsh beating like this, it could only mean that he had something else in mind. Ky was like that, in Xeion's perspective since he knew him very well. He was the type of person who would let his opponents fall into a false sense of security then deal a heavy blow when the opponent's guard is down in a place where a strike is least expected.

True enough, Xeion's theory proved to be correct as one of Ky's Hydras lunged at him from behind. Xeion was barely able to dodge the colossal thing by somersaulting back as it grazed past his back when he was in mid-flip. Xeion thought that he would be safe from Ky attack since he expected the Hydra to be the only one that attacked, but it just so happened that Ky had prepared a strike just for him and it was only then Xeion realized that the Hydra head was merely a distraction to give Ky an opening as his metal hands took hold of his face in a vice-like grip.

Without hesitation, Xeion quickly enforced his face with a protective blanket of his reiatsu to cushion the powerful attack on his face he expected from Ky. He managed to do this just in the nick of time as Xeion felt a large force hit him squarely on the face. The power of the strike, even though he had already cushioned his face, was enough to send Xeion flying through the air, across the corridors, traveling at over 180km per hour. Shifting his weight, Xeion stabilized his body in mid-air before jamming both his swords down in the ground so as to lessen his momentum until he came to a stop.

As soon as the momentum gave out, Xeion dropped to his knees when he returned on the ground with blood trickling down the side of his mouth. He didn't even realize it, but the force of Ky's attack sent Xeion across for 450 meters, excluding the distance which accounted for Xeion stopping the momentum which would have amounted to a grand total of 510 meters, but since the Maniak Wing was so huge, not to mention the fact that they were fighting on a long, straight corridor, Xeion needn't worry about hitting some walls.

Looking at the figure in the distance, Xeion squinted his eyes to get a better view and saw that it was seemingly walking towards him in a slow, steady stride. Xeion grit his teeth and knew that he had to make a counterattack so as not to give Ky another chance to attack him.

Wiping off the blood from his mouth, Xeion charged his swords with reiatsu and swung the both of them together in front of him. The force of the reiatsu-powered slash created an attack wave of razor-like wind in the form of the slash Xeion had just made as it charged forward to meet Ky's figure, but Xeion knew that a simple attack like that wouldn't be enough for someone like Ky, so Xeion quickly thought up of another plan, something which Ky wouldn't quite expect.

"Walls of iron sand, a priestly pagoda," Xeion chanted, pushing off with his right leg into a shunpo to meet the advancing Ky. "Glowing iron-clad fireflies, standing upright, silent to the end," Xeion continued as he was now right in front of Ky. Without losing momentum, Xeion moved to the left, crouched slightly, and performed a moving leg sweep with his right leg to knock Ky off his feet. After doing this, he quickly turned back and held out his hand, shouting the name of the spell he was chanting to complete it. "Bakudo #75, Quintet of One Kan Iron Pillars!"

Suddenly, five thick, large, high, and heavy pillars, made of pure iron, appeared from the ceiling and dropped onto Ky as their their weighty forms intended to pin Ky down on the ground so that he couldn't move so that Xeion could end the fight quickly since they had already caused more than enough collateral damage on Las Noches to keep them busy for a while. Besides, it seemed as though their fight wasn't really attracting the one person whom Ky was supposed to attract -- Feiy-sama -- for an reason unknown except to Ky himself. Another thing about ending the battle quickly was that it would also mean that Xeion could convince Ky to say sorry to Rakey-san for all the things he had said to her as soon as possible, thus making everyone happy again.

"Xeion-san.." Saiko said... Well this is a bit of confusion, what the hell is he doing and who's he fighting? Saiko's mind contemplated.
Saiko was already upset because he had to be dealing with what the Espada kept trying to do to Evil, but he was attacking his cousin as well!? He went to react as he saw Evil's zaigou strength flare, and suddenly the leader of the Exequitas from back in the labyrinth too.
"Soo, you want a piece of a Kenpachi? eh!?" he yelled, creating a light around him, bringing a blanket of spiritual pressure over all those around, intensifying gravity for all of them because of the amount of fights in one area.
"Tch, this is perfect since the spiritual pressure is nice and thick for me... 'Mira Bakuha'!" he shouted.
Bis sanpakuto brought a reflection on all of the spiritual energy, including Evil's zaigou reiatsu and blasted it out of his blade's edge as he swung towards Verdugo.

Very good little saint, you seem to be controlling your skills a little better. A voice told him in his head.
His head began to burn, like a headache as the wave barrelled its way past Ky, Xeion Evil and Mocka at its main target, Verdugo.
