Welcome to Gaia! ::

The first espada just simply watched how his widespread cero unleashed through his right hand only sent the head captain flying and didn't even scratch him,after all his opponent was one of the only people he had ever encountered numerous times while he was part of the seretei.Faintly smirking under his high collar he watched the captain before he noticed another several other high reiatsu signatures,looking towards an other familiar signature he saw it was another espada with the rank under quatro.closing his eye's for a bit he opened them again looking at daven.

His eye's widening in surprise the first espada brought his two hands together and began to clap his hands together.It was a rare thing to see the first espada praise someone especially a shinigami."Your reiatsu feels so much more powerful than it used to be,Daven"the first espada felt the pressure being emitted from the captain daven and the other shinigami that decided to release their zaigo and inner hollow.He then placed his hands back into the pocket's within his coat."And on top of that-"The pressure that the captain released was steadily increasing pushing down on the first espada but it did not seem as if the first espada was bothered by the force."-You issue out an order to kill us all."He laughed a bit mocking the captain before speaking a bit louder."Ishi,Temor did you hear him,He's going to kill us all."Pulling his right hand from his pocket he moved it up to his face and then used it to brush away the hair that now blocked his eyesight.

"Who the hell do you think we are?"He muttered under his coat while plucking the pair of glasses from his nose he threw them to the side as his own reiatsu began to increase rapidly matching that of the Zaigo that stood before him.Their reiatsu were grinding against each other."I guess enough words have been wasted for now."The first espada said aiming his right hand towards daven again,reiatsu particles began to form in front of his palm again into a small energy ball which was thrown down unto the floor launching a lot of debris and dust upwards around the first espada's form.

Bursting out from the cloud of dust the first espada moved towards daven at an blurring speed,pushing himself of the ground with his left foot he added a rotating movement to his leap stretching out his left leg at the last 4 inches he was launching a spinning kick aimed at the captain's head.

Daven was laughing. Triox's taunts didn't matter a bit to him.

The foot came at Daven's head, and he held up his hand, stopping the kick from impacting totally. "Rala." The Reido blasted from his hand as fast as a Bala attack, with the same impact. It struck Triox on the knee, doing the very damage to him that a bala would have done to someone else.

"I've learned a few tricks since we last met. I expect this will be the last meeting we ever have."

Daven's left foot lashed out at Triox's other knee, and this strike was followed up by eight or ten punches to the midsection of Triox, each with a Rala enveloped in them.

The punches combined did cause him to stagger backwards a bit, and Daven whipped around and lashed out with his foot at Ishi, striking her in the head while she knelt over the injured Shinigami.

"Good bye my old enemy."

[crud... this is what comes of not signing on for a few days stare ah, well... I'll post, but I promise not to interfere ^^... this is going to be long ><]

The trip from the labyrinth to their current location was mostly a blur. Kurai was vaguely aware that Rawtoon had helped both she and a heavily-wounded Toshiro escape the ever-changing maze that was the entrance to Las Noches. No, wait... Maybe he'd carried them both. In any case, she'd been far too preoccupied by Toshiro's wounds to protest any manhandling.

She glanced to Toshiro, muted gold eyes meeting his vibrant green. They were colored with remorse, and she knew he blamed himself for her capture and subsequent torture. It's not your fault, she wanted to say. She opened her mouth, but he'd already dropped his gaze.

Raw released Toshiro, and he dropped to the ground, using his power to ice over the bleeding shoulder wound. The smell of fresh blood stopped abruptly as he arrested its flow. The cold burn of his ice pervaded the air as he completed the patch job.

She bit her lip, knowing the ice patch would only relieve the pain and bleeding, not reduce the severity of the wound. She went to tell him so, but she was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a new entity. A woman, by her shape. Arrancar by scent.

Kurai's lips pulled back in a snarl as a shock of fear jolted through her. Hawk's torture had damaged her more than she'd ever admit. She recognized the deep-rooted something in her psyche that twisted her stomach with fear just from an arrancar's scent. It hadn't been there before Hawk. Before...

She was left no time to examine this newfound weakness. The arrancar was charging a powerful energy point-blank at Toshiro's chest. Frozen. Why was she frozen? Why couldn't she move? Some force locked her limbs, a numbing paralysis slipping down her spine. When had Hawk broken her so badly?

Kurai's scream was lost in Toshiro's as the arrancar forced her bala into his chest. The smell of his burning flesh and blood was overwhelming. She could hear his heart struggling to beat, the rhythmic pounding stuttering nearly to a halt. Dying... My Toshiro is dying.

Wake up! The words stuck in her throat as Toshiro closed his eyes. Then, he was moving again, and a new, unfamiliar power billowed from him. His comforting icy scent mixed with a new, dry scent. The scent of bone. Hollow bone. No... Kurai's mind refused to process this new development.

Not...? But his harsh, distorted voice confirmed it. An inner hollow. Toshiro has an inner hollow. Shiro's... He's a-- "Vaizard," It came out as a whisper, constricted as her throat was with fear. Afraid... Am I afraid of Toshiro? Of this Arashi?

His scent wasn't the same. The ice had a deeper, smoky edge. But his aura. Surely-- it was the same, but the familiar pale blue and silver was roiling with an animosity she'd never seen before, a thirst that made Kurai feel sick. She sat down hard, one hand pressed to her mouth, as Arashi moved to engage the arrancar woman.

[sooo...loooooong XD]

Reido was still a new technique Temor barely knew anything about so it did bring a suprised reaction to his conscience, but on the outside you could never tell the difference. It brought some difficulty to the fight plan and tactics that Temor had in mind for this fight. Staying positive though Temor knew that all he would need is a little more display of what this attack could do and then he would know how to fight around it. It was one of the many aspects as to why Temor was so successful in his fights with receiving minimal damage and inflicting the most amount.

So his eyes stood fixated on the Zaigou as the man once again backed up a couple paces to create distance only this time Temor could feel the reiatsu of the man build. Feeling a little insecure of what events were gonna take place next Temor let out a constant low frequency of spiritual pressure that worked as a radar to keep track of everyones position in the room. It was a new technique Temor had only used twice before, but it served him well in the past so he used it here and now for this fight. He now knew of the events taking place around him with the other espada and even Daven. It brought him back to a calm feeling that he would need in this fight in order to react instantly.

Lights appeared from every corner of Temor's eyes as they surrounded him. He didn't make any sudden moves at first as he just felt out and observed what the lights were doing around him. Then the concentration of reido started to appear from all side and Temor didn't even care for the technique anymore. He just tried to keep his focus on Shiboo, but as soon as the Zaigou disappeared Temor began to use his spiritual pressure technique to find him out. The Reido blast from every direction and Temor clenched his katana with both hands tightly as he finally located the Zaigou being directly above him and behind the Reido blast hurling down. He moved accordingly launching himself skyward as the unseen hands attempted to grab Temor from below him. They made contact with his body and instantly burst into spiritual particles giving Temor not even the slightest sign of resistance as he made his way upwards. His body collided with the Reido as his shoulder took the bulk of the impact. The blast also gaveway with a huge resounding boom and reverted into shreds of spiritual particles. He was then in striking distance of the Zaigou throwing two massively powerful slice up first then down both aiming to cut the man in two. Using both hands gave the slashes a lot more power then Temor's usual one handed attack and ensured that if it landed would seriously injure anyone who stood in it's way.

[Long posts make me tired whee ]

((OOC: Yay, long post from me. Sorry it took so long!))

As the man grunted a mock taunt she couldn’t do anything more than chuckle before she made contact with his chest, ripping into flesh and bone alike. Feeling his ribs buckle beneath her knuckles was empowering, if she didn’t hate fighting so much this emotion surging through her entire body would be addicting. Then his words were echoed by a blood curdling scream of agony. Her smile quickly faded when she realized what exactly she was doing. It was the kind of feeling a person would get out of realizing that they had just slapped a child out of anger rather than discipline, or a man standing over another man’s body after he had shot his opponent dead. Realizing that her actions where completely un-honorable in every way possible she wanted to do nothing but run away from the pain she caused. As she stared at the man, she quickly realized that his mindset was changing from accepting death, to let his mind be swamped by rage and pure murderous intentions. As quickly as her mind went from guilt it shifted receded back to pure hollow instincts where this fight just became a fight between two hollows. The kind of fight she had nearly every hour of her life before Aizen accepted her as an Arrancar. Her smile returned as he small woman realized what he had just done to himself.

Ishi’s Pesiquisa was higher than most other Arrancar because of her Nurturing specialty enabled by her past rank as fourth Espada. With every movement she could nearly feel every muscle move through the allies and opponents in this battlefield. As she felt a sharp pang in the back of her mind she realized that his attack was aimed at her rather than his opponent. She simply moved to a crouched position and performed a back flip pushing both hands off of his ankle and pushing her into the air. Landing in the same position she was before she brought attention to the man she looked back into Toshiro’s shifting eyes.

As his eyes fluttered shut she slowly rose to her feet and turned to the other woman, charging energy into her hand she snapped her fingers and a bala formed between her thumb and index finger. She simply smiled at her ready to finish her off, but quickly realized that the man had quickly stood and snatches her by the throat. Her eyes shot wide open as she slowly looked at him with pure shock and fear. The bala faded away quickly as she simply watched him, unable to breath and comprehend what was happening her mind went into complete shock. All she could muffle was a shocked and whispered ”Wha-what?” She listened to what he said, the man before her was just seconds away from death just to be swallowed by this monster within. Her mind raced with how this could even happen. Then her mind shot back into her memories, Hogosha was Buru Riki’s inner hollow, but he was able to free himself and create a body for himself. Looking at the beast her shocked look upon her face shifted into another smile. Though she struggled to breath she gave him a mock kiss in the air with her lips, the pop from the kiss was echoed by the crushing spiritual force of a fourth Espada, her eyes began to glow white, along with a light glow that began to emit from her flesh. Her hands where engulfed in white light. ”Invertir” She chocked, and just as she stated the title of her ability either hand shot up and grabbed a hold of his arm. Wrapping him up in the light as well…

She simply shot him a mocking smile and cocked her head to the side, ”To be honest? I don’t care…” With that she pushed her energy into his body, draining the blood and bodily tissues from his very flesh, looking over to Kurai the blood and body tissues missing or damaged on her body where being completely mended from the flesh from Toshiro’s body. Looking back at the inner hollow she simply glared into his eyes as she pushed the process to take place even faster, healing Kurai and draining Toshiro. To be sure the man couldn’t get away she buried her long claw like nails into his arm to fasten herself to him.

[Gahh Ishi! My personal space! 5 second rule!]

"AHHHHHHH!" Arashi yelled as his power was stolen from him with every passing second. He looked at the woman that was stealing away his power. Making his control over Toshiro's body almost impossible if Toshiro was at true strength. He formed a snarl on his face. Almost hissing at the woman. His jagged teeth was like an opening gate to the frigid breath that coming out of his mouth. he knew this woman wasn't scared. A pure hollow, nothing more. This was the wrong move. He desired it all. Her flesh, her bone all of it. She even brought him close enough so that he could feed. She already did half of the work. He stopped screaming and looked into the woman's eyes. Desire. Was what his eyes told her. Almost as if he lusted for her. No... she was a meal. He leaned down toward Ishi's neck and licked it. The amount of reiatsu that was coming off of her flesh was so appetizing. He wondered if she could feel it. Better yet, she dug into his back with her nails, causing him to bleed. He liked it as well. She did not want to leave. He did not want her to leave either. His body was wrapped in a blinding light. His body tensed up slighly before he turned his entire body into ice. This is the power Toshiro could never have. The power he would never have control over. Turning ones body into complete ice. He could still feel his own heart beat up against his chest. She could break him, yes... but he would be able to regenerate. So please... don't break me. He thought to himself. He wrapped his own arms around Ishi, then he froze them together. From the legs up to their torsos. Arashi then laughed loudly before sinking his teeth into her neck. Biting down, he cut through flesh and muscle. He could see and smell her blood. He was drinking it, eating her flesh. The sight would be horrifying. As blood came out from her neck, he became re-energized. Her blood gave him power. This was his source of power, of food. Reiatsu enriched blood.

The shifting and flowing of the reiatsu was like reading a book to Daven. He knew what was happening and he was trying to fix it, but there were other problems as well.

He wanted to help Toshiro, but he knew that it was going to be a case where he had too many irons in the fire. Kurai was in trouble, but Daven couldn't do any thing about it.

So while his attention was focussed on Triox, he yelled orders. "Kurai, get Toshiro out of here back to Earth. If you can't do that, SNAP OUT OF IT. Get the hell out of here! Retreat!"

Daven blocked several strikes by Triox, he took a couple others in various parts of his body, all of them minor strikes. I didn't want to jump to the End Game yet, but it looks like I have no choice.

He shunpoed to a location that Triox would Sonido to, and he started a dance to trap Triox in such a way that he could be on top of him. Each chance he had, he blocked a punch, tried to punch at him, stepped in the path of a Cero fired by others, letting his reido cancel it out.

Finally he managed to jump to a location where Triox jumped to microseconds later. He was close and it was time.

He fired a point blank Reido blast at Triox, equivalent to the Grand Rey Cero that the Espadas could do. It flashed out of his left hand, enveloped Triox, blasted around him and hit the other Espada in the area and blasted Toshiro out of his Vizard state.

Daven jumped to the opposite side of the battle area, and fired another one almost simultaneously, trapping everyone in the blast range again, hitting everyone from two sides.

He was tired, but he had to keep the pressure up. There were too many people in danger or who needed to die. He knew that the shinigami would be okay, that Shiboo would be more than fine, and that those who had hollow energy would be really messed up right about now.

He hoped that this attack would be enough to take most of the hollows down, so he didn't have to go to his bankai release in this state. He didn't want to destroy all of Las Noches.

Watching Toshiro, his former lieutenant, fight this arrancar he seen no reason to jump in for his own reasons. When Tenrai jumped behind Toshiro he had to make a split discussion. Since Tenrai forgot about the incoming Gran Ray Cero he had no choice. Ogato shunpoed in front of Toshiro and slashed downwards releasing a roaring wave of reatisu forking the blast. Not wanting to attack Ishi the wave vanished as the cero came to an end.
