"A quincy with a sword?" The thought passed through Temor's mind like a freight train that brought up many other questions. Though the quincy's mere presence was a distraction Temor had to stay focused on the situation. The espada's outter appearance however showed no sign of concern or worry as he simply glared into the eyes of the quincy while scanning every aspect of his appearance. Then as the quincy attacked Temor reacted accordingly.
The blades of espada and quincy clashed erupting in a celebration of sparks and sound. With each parry however Temor noticed that there were spirit particles residing in the quincy's questionable blade. The spirit particles meant to do extra damage were of course neglected thanks to the espada's special ability, but the attacks themselves were being observed as Temor took steps back to view them more clearly. Finally after feeling like he has seen enough of the unsual attacks Temor went into a counter attack vertically parrying the quincy's blade downward into the granite making sure it would get lodged within the defense. After that the espada quickly brought his zanpakuto back up then down in two vertical slashes both aimed at the quincy with lightning speed. The attack itself was fluent and almost had to be if it had any chance of working, but the espada also started building reiatsu in his right hand in preperation of what was next.

Destruction would soon notice the physical manifestation of himself had suddenly been jerked in a downward motion, and lodged into the granite.. he wasn't a power addict, and really could take such a well-armed and greatly skilled swordsman at this rate.. The arrancar's speed and sword skills were quite formidable but bland in the sense he'd seen it numerous times before... His unorthodox fighting tactics always had an extra plan, or something that would allow an edge of some sort... In this case, it was simply the lingering black bandage that tied to the hilt and expanded out to float and such... This single object from the blade had been disregarded during the slashing on purpose.. 'Skilled' Swordsmen, to him, were smarter people who held better reflexes and more bullcrap behind there words... Actually making them stupid people...
Now, both hands on the hilt, he would let go and abandon the large, 5"4' manifestation of himself... It protruded form the ground quite far, and in a diagonal direction, leading up and past his head... With a little reishi manipulation and a sneaky movement.. Destruction would choose to fly forward, and drag the blade through the granite, making it more long-wise in his opponent's point of view.... The ending position was Destruction sitting beneath the large blade's dull side, his left hand holding the sharp opposite end of himself to brace it.. Not getting cut or effected in the slightest bit, of course.... By the time the first slash met the top of the blade, his right arm was slowly being coiled, wrapped, and consumed by the large black bandage... Now.. He'd already learned a blast couldn't harm him, or some slash filled with reishi... No... He needed something performed in a different fashion to harm this man.. He needed to implode the spiritual energy before he could break it down... To dismember his own attack and damage with the outcome.. Not the attack itself...
What better way to do this, then by performing his favorite, and signature technique.. One of the few thought of solution to this arrancar's strange trait... No longer sitting crouched beneath the diagonal blade, he could suddenly use the tightly wrapped right arm across his chest and towards the man's right arm... To him, this was the one that emitted a reiastu source. The plan wasn't evident but the outcome was simple... This arrancar, and Destruction, were both gonna explode...
[Problem.. just be sure to come back.. I want you to be here when you lose an arm :3!]

Jubei simply smiled at the espada's attack upon him. As the first thrust was dodged, it only pierced him through his right shoulder. The former prisoner was prepared to die, but expected a different outcome after feeling Saki's energy signature. With the rest of Temor's thrusts being blocked by his comrade's weapon, Jubei would chuckle lightly as he answered, "No, I don't mind at all...little man. But, it would've been better if you showed up sooner. Let me guess, you were stuck in a tree?" Jubei openly joked with Saki, mainly because he saw him as an equal. They'd sparred before and he knew what the short fighter was capable of. As he watched Saki press forward with his attacks, the former prisoner would reply, "I've studying everyone as they fought. I hope you can continue to keep things interesting for me."

Gemini realized his mistake, but it was already to late, he felt a sharp pain run through his body as Alarico's claws cut upwards into his sides, luckily for him he was able to grab his wrist before he caused entire side be sliced open. Sadly though the damage was done, and a large cut ran up his side stopping just at the start of the ribs. The pain was excruciating, and he almost blacked out from the blood he was losing.
Still gripping Alarico's wrist he forcibly pulled the man's claws out of his side, and with a grin, mixed with pain, pulled out the katana at his side. He then brought his foot to the ground , and pushed Alarico's hand away from hos own body, as Gemini swung his sword at the shoulder the hand belonged to.
-Torsin-
Torsin dodged must of the fragments of granite that fell around him , but some of the small pieces hit him causing small cuts to form around his body, with each dodge he climbed higher up the pillar after Temor, then a large piece of granite slammed into his left arm making a large cracking sound when it hit his arm before sending Torsin into the ground. Staneding back up he felt his left arm.
"Crap that rock broke my arm it two places."
He said as his left arm stayed limp, and useless for now thanks to Temor, and those pieces of granite. Looking up at the top of the pillar Torsin saw that someone had stolen his opponent, he also noticed without looking that Gemini was hurt and was still fighting. Then he felt an ancient evil crushing down upon him, this meant Sin was wanting to go free it had been so long since Torsin had felt this feeling, and even know he was scared of it.
To block off this feeling Torsin focused on his Wife, and Son, and after only a short few seconds the evil faded away along with a scream of rage that only Torsin could hear. With that Torsin went running up the pillar, after Temor which was still "His" opponent. Reaching the top he waited to see what this newcomer was about to do. He knew it wasn't nice to interfere with an attack, but after the man's attack was done, Torsin was stealing his opponent back.

______-<<<<<AlaricoAlarico - Octava EspadaWhile fighting Gemini, Alarico was keeping a constant eye on the shinigami that sat on top of the pillar. Even though he seemed to be doing nothing, Alarico had a feeling that he was hiding something.
He twisted himself in mid air as he felt a strong hand grab his arm. He was not trying to block the attack with brute force alone, but rather force it to become an opening for an even stronger attack. Gemini had made the mistake of leaving Alarico's left arm free. He brought his left hand up, the tiger claws blocking the katana as the time Gemini had taken to draw his katana had given him sufficient time to prepare.
Alarico was now facing the pillar while standing in mid air using reiatsu in his feet. A drop of blood dripped from the fingers of his right hand, which was faced at the pillar and the shinigami sitting on it. The hand began to glow bright orange as a ball formed, the energy it gave off was enough to make any lower seated shinigami feel faint and pass out. Finally the ball sizzled with energy, and fired at the shinigami as well as the pillar. With Gemini right in front of Alarico, only a miracle would allow him to pull through. "GRAN RAY CERO!" He roared, loud enough to be heard by everyone. The broken bones in his jaw cracked and jingled against each other, but the fired up espada hardly seemed to notice.

While continuing to observe the battles, Jubei noticed the power of the Alarico's attack form up from behind. But, in his current position, he was unable to move. It would be at this point that Kingusari would take on a life of it's own and extend to a farther limit. While trying to form into a barrier to protect it's master, the chains couldn't extend fast enough. Changing shape, the chains could only form into a funnel and attempted to redirect the cero towards Temor. However, this had merely been a quick fix and though he was protected Jubei's outfit would begin to smolder from the intense heat of the blast. In the mist of the this chaotic scene, the former prisoner only smiled as he focused his reiatsu into further protecting him from the attack. Once the dust and smoke cleared, a large section on the top corner of Daven's walls and a bit of the top of the pillar was destroyed. However, the pillar itself continued to remain in tack and the former prisoner still remained at it's center...as smoke continued to rise off his burnt uniform.
By now, the 'Yakushi' technique had greatly intensified and Temor would really begin to feel it's effects. As his bone fragment would start creating pain, the resonance would also intensify with the channeling of Alarico's gran rey cero.

The espada for the first time was stuck in a bind between an explosion of his arm, a gran rey cero and an annoying arrancar killing sound. It was a handful for anyone to handel, but Temor wasn't one to give up so easily. Thinking fast and critically the espada stayed still so that the Gran Rey Cero would take it's course engulfing him in it's blast. The espada's special ability was put to the ultimate test as he stood in the blast while the wraps around his arm made by the quincy were singed off and Temor would be set free. As soon as the espada was once again able to move freely again he jumped out of the remainder of the Gran Rey Cero blast, but the explosion from the quincy's attack still caught him and sent Temor skidding to the edge of the top of the pillar.
Staggering to his feet using his zanpakuto as a crutch Temor was now covered with a burns on his right arm revealing what was under his glove the whole time. The number 2 on his forearm was finally visible along with the scars from countless fights the espada had been through. The wind held it's breath creating an ominous silence as Temor spoke, "Fill their empty hearts with terror, Fuerza de Divinidad [Force of Divinity]." The words echoed as the espada became illuminated within a golden yellow light transforming his body into his true form. Temor's zanpakuto had enscriptions that lit up with the spiritual energy that was setting him free from his prior "human" form.
As the light from his spiritual energy vanished it showed the espada's true form. Two sheated katana's on his back positioned in opposite directions as they went along his now visible spine that connected to a long, serpent like bone tail. His mask had no detail as it was just a smooth surface with two holed that shined brightly with the espada's memorable eyes. The spiritual pressure emitting from Temor was immense and would suffocate any low level being within the area. The gloves of the espada were however back on for some odd reason, but the number 2 remained glowing on the espada's right forearm. He stood motionless and his eyes shined so bright that they could not be seen observing anything, but they had no purpose now as the espada's "main sense" was in full effect. With no sword in hand it looked like the perfect opportunity for someone to strike, but who would dare attack first.

"Goddammit.. It might have well been the Doom Blast to completely stop my attack... If he'd have fired a blast from that arm, he'd have seriously lost the limb... Now he's released, and I doubt getting that close will be possible in this stage.. the boy has to take over if there's even a bit more chance of survival.." With a scoff, and a sudden gasp, he would find himself slowly floating backwards, standing and riding on the air.. In a surge, Saki's reiastu supply would seem to expand and increase... He'd gone into his second stage, having gained control once more... his mind came into play and the Persona before left, once again sealed into the blade for optimal strength... Now, as the reiastu and reishi formed wind-tunnels that spiraled about his body, he would grip the blade will force possible.. The bandage on the hilt, once lingering, was now nearly destroyed but soon found itself growing back from forming reishi particles in the atmosphere.. Once reformed... Red reishi particles would form, and seep onto the scarf, singing holes like acid slowly burning through...
"Goddammit.. H-...He's Second Espada... Im not gonna last too long unless I pull everything off.. I've gotta bring forth every bit of my being... I'm a smart boy, though... I can do this!!" the small voice rang through the air, as Saki huffed and suddenly threw his arms, still holding the blade, downwards in a swift slashing motion. His reistu once again surged, still visible and forming a visible aura about his body.. "I might be small, but he'll see..." With a sudden surge, he would fly forward.. Hirenkyaku... It was, surprisingly, more speedy then usual.. By a bit. He seemed to literally disappear, reappearing a few feet in front of the released Espada, and gritting his teeth, eyes filled wit determination as the atmosphere around him began to mold itself.. Reishi, eventually, was completely shaping itself, and swirling around the both of them..
With the motioning of his left hand, he'd send forth a small orb of his own destructive energy type.... he knew, full well, that this wouldn't make it... But... its use was the explosion that occurred upon being split.. It would automatically implode on itself and consume his opponent in a cloud of golden and black smoke... This gave him a chance to further 'Stall' for what was to come.. He merely needed to distract the arrancar until it was time to attempt to deal damage. keep distance, and formulate the entire battle while doing so...

"Ye Lord! Mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" Yoh spoke; he would let the spirit energy flow through both arms once more. Both his arms rose as the palms were c**k at the target and center just right. "Hado Number 33: Sokatsui!" Yoh roar loudly. A burst of blue flame blaze shot from his palms wasting no time. The fire blast dash through the air swirling in circles heading right for a hallow at full speed, the impact was so strong the hallows mask shatter into pieces. The one who cause this mess was no other then Yoh Zala of squad nine. Riding upon the scene on his hover rider. A gift of the technical department about 7 months go. The blast up from directly above and was heading for Temor. "Is this how you want to go out kid, you don't stand a change againist that esapda. So yeah can we high tail it out of here before I end up dead as well.? I can get up to 250 on my hover board......" Yoh said, as he was rapidly shooting down to the ground.

The attacks have been issued and Temor was ready for anything that was about to happen. Noticing the quincy vanished Temor already knew where he would reappear since the only opening would be in front of the espada. So before the quincy could even reappear Temor put his head down spinning counter clockwise forward and around the position directly in front of him. When the quincy had reappeared with an attack the espada was already to the quincy's left getting around and past the quincy. Temor's tail simultaneously swept the floor aiming to trip the quincy before the above shinigami's hado would fall upon the espada's previous position putting the quincy in danger from the shinigami's attack.
Then what looked to almost be like teleportation Temor vanished using sonido that was so quick that risen dirt or debris had not pulled in the direction the espada was headed until he reappeared. As soon as the espada had reappeared he had already had one of his katana's within his left hand and pouring with his reiatsu. Temor was now positioned in front of Jubei already lunging with precision aimed directly at the shinigami's center just above the stomach and under his ribs. It was dead center set to hit unless the shinigami would drop his attack and save himself. The reiatsu pouring down the blade ensured that no defense made from spiritual energy would block the attack as the espada's katana would just pierce through it.

Having been thrown into a very strange situation, Saki was suddenly sent back, having been tripped, or at least forced into an odd direction while floating.. He made a complete turn, warping his speed and spinning as fast as possible to have it effect him as much as it really did.. he turned, however, in time to meet the Kidou... With a low "Rahh!", Saki would hold his right arm out, and shoot a small bullet-stream of grenade-like orbs.. once the first had made contact, it'd burst into golden reishi particles.. the others got past the impact and also imploded.. However, still not stopping his spin, Saki would continue to flip in place, starting to act like a gyroscope... He outstretched his left arm, and with the right held the large blade over his shoulder and across his back in one rapid motion... The bandage, quickly, strapped itself around Saki's torso and his entire body surged, his skin tone turning golden, and gaining an aura while the physically visible aura created a large spear-head to cover his entire body frame...
"Godammit.. he wouldn't keep the distraction.. he was too fast for it to work.. looks like my plan has to go premature... JUBEI, DON'T MOVE!!" As his arm went out, the numerous reishi particle,s having been formulating upon there spreading would actually dissappear, riding the air as if they'd used there own Hirenkyaku... Saki's, however, wouldn't possibly be fast enough to brace his blade to match the Espada's, and he sure as hell couldn't take the impact as well as when he was unreleased... Now appearing short of the location... Saki was ready to take the blow... Jubei would suddenly find that reishi was surrounding his location.. thus, his chance for escape.. if he would simply focus, he could temporarily ride and 'Burn Out' all the available reishi near him.. He need not manipulate, for Saki was doing this for him.. he was, forcibly, going to attempt to use Hirenkyaku on his friend as to move him from what was to come... It was his job to simply catch on, close his eye,s and pick a direction that didn't involve being sliced to death...
Now.. Saki would appear crouched, his body golden, and his eyes wide open.. "True Pyrotehnic Suicide!!" Saki's arms were now in a defensive post, just like the rest of his body.. As the blade went to slice beneath his rib, his eyes would jolt open.. Upon contact... Saki exploded... The force, however, was directed.. Upon being hit, an entire wave of smoke and reishi particles would sear forward.. Saki would appear on the opposite side of this large smoke cloud, his lower torso area sliced, along with his clothes.. But no blood... not one drop.. It was a miracle.. or.. It was Ransotengai, having sealed and laced the wound and the torso area knowing he would be taking it... he'd deal with the true, unbuffered pain, later on after this was over.. For now, his body belonged to the Pillar, and his Comrades.. Working as hard, and with as much thought as possible to protect them... Saki would have only expected the straight impact would at least slide the Espada back, knowing it wouldn't be enough to do more to scratch him everywhere.. he merely needed to be parallel with him, standing a few yards above the pillar where he now slid on the air.. Awaiting what was to come next... he did, however, have to restart his plan...

Watching as the chaos around him progressed, Jubei could do nothing but smile...as his comrade attempted to protect him. It no longer mattered now, for there had been enough time for Kingusari's resonance to take full effect. The pain within the espada's bones would triple and cracks would start to form. Leaping into the air, Kingusari would cause more pain with the 'Yakushi' technique. As each chain link was pulled from protecting the pillar, the cracks within Temor's bone fragments would grow and intensified the physical pain...while starting to effect him mentally. The espada was indeed powerful, but now he was dealing with several shinigami and the effects of the 'Yakushi' technique. Also, there was another added problem...Jubei was now able to attack freely. If Temor continued to stay within the area, then he'd have to fight with his bone fragments slowly breaking apart. Continuing forth into the air, Jubei shunpo'd to a safer distance...while letting the resonance do his dirty work.

The explosion created by the quincy formed a devastating crater within the ground about 10ft into the granite. Temor however had shielded himself using his arms as a last second attempt for protection while dropping back a few steps. The blast was more concussive to the espada as the spirit particles [reishi] used in the explosion did nothing to injure Temor in anyway. A massive cloud of dirt did however cover the area from which the blast was created concealing the espada from visual sight of the surrounding enemies.
The bones of the espada began to feel the effects of Jubei's technique, but since he was in his release form Temor felt no serious pain yet. It was merely a numbing sensation that would simply grow more violent until there was pain [2 more posts] then break [4 more posts]. Using the cloud of smoke and dirt to his advantage Temor built a great amount of reiatsu into his hands. He then began to grip his katana with both hands channeling the reiatsu into the weapon and then he thrusted it strongly into the granite below him. The katana shined brightly through the smoke as the reiatsu being used built.
"Did you all forget? Your task was to protect the pillar and you've already made the biggest mistake. You left the pillar unprotected and vulnerable yet again." The espada's voice echoed throughout the smoke. "Gran Rey Cero." It would only be the second time the espada had used such a destructive technique and the first time ever doing it in his release form. The cero would erupt out of his katana downward with incredible power easily breaking through the rest of granite and Jubei's defenses reaching the pillar and splitting it down the middle. Failure.....

[*Plants OWN3GE Sticker On Forehead*.. I totlly deserve this sticker... But.. I'll remove it after I survive this impact, and..Well..]
Saki's eyes widened as the blasts re-coil effected him to great extents.. He couldn't see because of swirling and forming debris, as his eyes were closed.. he couldn't protect the pillar.. But he, at least, was able to help protect his friend Jubei.. It was a double edged sword.. Too bad the Shinigami's Forces throat was slit in this.. Saki now was near-blinded form the explosions and debris, coughing and flying backwards in a surging movement.. His arms were held tight together, and the blade was still across his back... With his face in a position as if he were ready to cry.. The small boy gave a low roar and suddenly, from all around his position, fireflies appeared.. Glimmering, golden creatures.. at least several small.. As they formed, gathering from reishi particles in the atmosphere and then sucking massive amounts of reiastu from his body.. he would suddenly begin to stand upon a large fluttering one, about eight feet high, and five feet wide.. its wing-span was pretty damn wide and he'd seemingly thrown a lot into this.. "G-Goddammit.. I HATE YOU!!" he gave the loud scream, his fireflies.. and the structure he now rode upon.. began to move towards the released Espada..
No longer thinking, the boy was unleashing a lot.. the mass of spiritual pressure having gathered around him was almost a late 'Last Ditch Effort'... No longer caring, he burst forward... Before long, the Espada would find that the glimmering smaller structures were beginning to creek and make there little noises as they began to whir and fly about at rapid rates... It was, quite obvious, they were going to explode.. They were going to erupt, and nuke at such a close range.. These small structures.. And then the big one Saki was atop.. he was, now, going to attempt and literally Nuke the Espada... With all he had..
