Little credit? She still doubted the fact that she could pose too much of a problem of Adachi, especially since he was the Captain Commander. For heaven’s sake, she doubted that she could even stand for long against another Captain, since she would be deprived of her zanpakuto and except for her relatively lousy and rusty fighting skills, she had only one other useless ability, which could tell what was the truth and what was a lie, to help her in battle. What would she do with that? Find out who would win? Even the thought sounded utterly stupid to her and she nearly felt like palming herself in the face or knock that idea out of her head. It seemed that the last few late nights had a great effect upon her sanity. Perhaps it was time she managed to get herself checked and see whether her mind was in the right order. Seeing Unohana was leaving for a battle, she blinked back her surprise before sending her well-wishes to the girl, “The best of luck to you, my dear, and I hope everything runs smoothly. Have fun!” Turning back to Nobu, she quirked an eyebrow as he mentioned his thoughts on the situation. With a thoughtful look on her face, she mused on the situation, “Well, I’ve never personally fought a Fourth Division member and I’m not sure of their skill. Then again, the Division’s not everything, you know. Ill-informed? How did that come about?”
Glancing at the cups as well as the bottle of sake, she shook her head, politely refusing it, “Nah, it’s alright. I try not to drink on my days off, since I’ve got a very weak tolerance for alcohol.” That in itself, was somewhat of a lie since she actually could take quite a decent amount of alcohol without appearing drunk in the slightest, but she had a personal dislike for alcohol of any sort, as she had dealt with too many drunk cases in her life. Other people were entitled to it, but she would rather refuse. It, funnily enough, did not come as much of a surprise that Nanashi apparently had sake in his room. For some reason, she felt like he was that sort of person, but then again, she was making judgements based on first impressions, which were, as she knew, not very accurate at all. As the conversation turned to the battles, she briefly let her gaze land on the fight, before turning her attention back to the other male. “I’m not entirely sure, actually, perhaps it might be a draw? Unfortunately, I don’t know the ability levels of these fighters.” Looking around herself in a half-confused manner, she continued, answering his last question with a degree of uncertainty, “To tell you the truth, I’m not sure where Sujoo is. I sort of rushed here from my office so that I would have some free time and so far, I don’t believe I’ve seen him. Hopefully, he’s not up in the office working or something like that and missing this…”

Linuen Frost
Third Seat, Seventh Division
Linuen Frost turned just in time as Shizuka and Nobu discussed about the Fourth Division. Suddenly, he remembered his mentor once again: the jet black hair, warm smile and those strange yet graceful gestures of Kei Aoi. He smiled softly, too, as memories of his mentor surged in his mind like a raging river. Then, he thought that not even in death will he ever forget that man who inspired Linuen. Just like Kei before, of course, Linuen grew attached to his new captain. And he promised to himself that never will he ever put his captain's life in danger.
You are growing more sentimental each day, Linuen.
Linuen smirked and then closed his eyes, plunging his mind into Alestha's, his Zanpakutou, world. "You need a little bit of sentimentality from time to time, Alestha. I think you need some; you could appreciate it, y'know." Linuen said to the scandalized-seeming face of his Zanpakutou.
Emotions are...unreliable, unpredictable and troublesome. I see no need for it. Everything must be precise and calculated.
"Pity..." Linuen whispered softly as he drew himself back into reality once again. He looked around and saw that the spar of the Fourth Division and Thirteenth Division about to start. He took a seat somewhere in the crowd yet visible enough to see Shizuka on his line of sight. After all, if she did find him lost in the party, she'd have all the right to be furious.

1126  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Primera Espada
The sound of a zipper could be heard across the general area of the festivities, presiding even over the multiple shouts and cheers of excitement, and the chatter of the unsuspecting Shinigami. From this noise, a seam in the sky emerged, cracking and breaking open as a Garganta ripped open across an expanse of otherwise empty sky. From the swirling torrent of black energy, Zenos emerged with his Reiryoku and Reiatsu erased, and took a step out onto empty air, creating a platform of Reishi beneath his foot before pulling the other one up next to it. Just before the portal snapped shut behind him, Zenos tugged the two objects he was pulling along, causing them to slip out of it and come to dangle at his side. Without waiting another second, the Primera solidly vanished from where he stood, only to reappear some feet away from the largest congregation of the Shinigami Captains and their subordinates. With his solid reappearance, the Espada cast the crowd a blank stare, expecting cries of terror and gasps of shock within the second. His keen eyes scanned the area, making a mental note where everything was while he had the chance. Exhaling a small breath, his eyes fell on Mikito and Unohana who were in close proximity to each other, apparently preparing to fight. As he continued to scan the crowd, he took in the positions of those who he noted to be Captains by the sight of their white haori, some of which gave away their Division based on the back. Though he was unaware of all of them, he quickly tabbed their locations; the 7th who was accompanied by a black-haired, older looking man and near both the 5th and the 12th, the 6th who was with the 13th- the 8th being in close proximity, the 1st who was located in the arena, the 11th and 2nd who were near the 1st, but had been both somewhat abandoned by him, the 9th who was with someone else of no concern, and finally the third who was by himself. This made up the entirety of the Captains of the Gotei, or at least the ones that were alive.
Zenos had the final two pieces of that puzzle, both being held by their hair and bleeding profusely. As if to antagonize those present, Zenos effortlessly lifted both Nanashi and Ashley up by their hair and presented for all of them to see, then tossed them like rag dolls to a spot twenty feet ahead of him, then pocketed his hands once he was rid of them. At the area where they landed- Ashley draped across Nanashi- blood began to pool around their bodies, pouring out of the hole in Nanashi's chest and the hole in Ashley's stomach. Zenos cast his indifferent stare across the area as he silently awaited the reactions of the Shinigami present. He was expecting it any second now- the screams of rage by those who were close to them and the cries of terror from those who did not hold the power to be a captain. It was hardly unjustified, their anger and fear, that is. After all, two Captains were dead and had been brought in by a single person, so there was no reason for them to assume he hadn't done the both of them in. On top of that, he had extinguished their lives and ripped them away from their friends, so there was bound to be some emotions being tossed around. Though he remained perfectly still, he had already made it perfectly clear; he absolutely meant business and there would be no room for pussyfooting around his appearance. He absolutely detested irrelevant questions that arose when someone of his race showed up. "What do you want!?" "Why are you here?!" Those were just two of many redundant questions he had to hear whenever he showed up anywhere. By presenting his trophies to the Gotei, he had hoped to answer their questions, as the answers should have been obvious at this point.
As if to further his point, he swayed to the side and suddenly appeared in four other places, scattered across the area as he utilized the High-Speed movements of Gemelos Sonído, using this to confuse the masses in regards to where he actually was. They would get their answer a few seconds later when the image of him closest to Nobu, Shizuka, Linuen, and Zetsumei, suddenly moved from its place. Zenos appeared in front of Linuen with his back to the Shinigami, only to move onto one foot and deliver a spinning back kick to his chest, with the appropriate force to send him flying away. Just after he passed Shizuka a blank stare out of the corner of his eye while following the momentum of his kick, he vanished from sight. Zenos solidly reappeared standing next to Ashley and Nanashi, with his right foot propped up on her lower back. Despite this action as being widely attributed to being a show of dominance over the body being stepped on, Zenos exhibited none of that excitement and sense of accomplishment. Instead, he kept a very indifferent expression while he pressed down with his foot and scanned the area. He had yet to remove his hands from his pockets ever since putting them there a moment ago, and because of this, he looked quite off guard. It wasn't entirely obvious why he had chosen to go after Linuen when he was surrounded by two captains, but the only reason was to create an example- a brief display of his power that might instill the others to approach him with extreme caution. Some might call his actions dishonorable or cowardly as it was clear he was substantially powerful, yet he decided to go after Linuen who was easily weaker than those nearest him. However, there was no "dishonor" or "cowardice" behind this action; he had simply picked him because he was there. Once done pressing down on Ashley, he switched his footing and promptly kicked her in the side, knocking her off of Nanashi and sending her tumbling lifelessly across a short expanse of ground, possibly three feet as he had not put that much force behind his kick. Then, as if he were getting ready to add insult to injury, he pulled his hand from his pocket and looked down at Nanashi while he casually pointed his extended index finger towards his head. He prepared a dull grey cero at the tip of his nail and released it several seconds later: it would blow his head off if it were not intercepted. Now he was curious to see who valued him enough to stop him from further destroying his corpse. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄[Don't forget: No noises come from his movements or his body, and his Reiatsu and Reiryoku are gone for all intents and purposes.]

Eight Division Captain
============================================Yukito Shun============================================
 It is through skill that we fightHearing the rather sudden and joyous of Captain Nayton Miwasuji, Yukito turned around just in time to see the Captain flinging himself towards him, something that surprised Yukito, but he tried his best not to show it, though it was difficult not to. Thankfully enough, the Captain resorted to much more proper forms of greeting, something Yukito was quick to reciprocate, bowing in response to him ”A pleasure to meet you, Sixth Division Captain, Nayton Miwasuji. Yes, I was hoping in taking part in the festival tournament. Though, it seems I am a tad bit too late as it has already commenced, perhaps I can squeeze myself in later.” spoke Yukito, honestly wanting to take part in the battles, unfortunately for him, he, along with everyone else in the vicinity, was about to do just that. He had already nodded to Si as he went off to take part in tournament, it seems he was running late as well, hopefully he had managed to take part.
The festival was an exciting, yet relaxing occasion, a break from the mundane and stressful job of being a Shinigami. However, just as the Garganta ripped through the fabric of space, so too did it rip through the air of serene calm that prevailed over the area. Hearing the unexpected, yet all too familiar sound, Yukito immediately shifted all of his attention towards the rift in space, watching as Zenos stepped out of the black cavity, dragging two bodies along with him. Given the distance, Yukito was unable to see them, but the situation was dire nonetheless. Before Yukito could even blink, Zenos was gone, leading him to deduce that he hadn’t shown himself solely to dump the bodies, no; he was here for a fight. As per their rank and Division, Yukito knew that it was up to the Captains of Division 1, 13, 11 or 2, to handle the intruder. But being a Captain, or rather, being a Shinigami, he couldn’t just stand around doing nothing. Shortly after Zenos’ disappearance, several sounds of cries of shock and terror were heard where he reappeared, mostly from the crowds of people near the area. This allowed Yukito to make an estimate where he was ”Captain Miwasuji, we should head over there at once. The others could be in need of our assistance.” spoke Yukito as he sped off towards the area, guessing that the Captain would follow suit.It is through unity that we win

 ☀Jūsanbantai Taichō☀☾Yukimura Takinata☽"I've been defeated and brought down. Dropped to my knees when hope ran out. The time has come to change my ways. On this day I see clearly everything has come to life. A bitter place and a broken dream. And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind. I'll never long for what might have been. Regret won't waste my life again. I won't look back. I'll fight to remain. On this day I see clearly everything has come to life. A bitter place and a broken dream. And we'll leave it all behind."
---------------------------------------------------
⇨Yukimura had been watching things with a bored expression especially as the first fight ended. Why did he even decide to attend again? Was it really because there was literally nothing better to do? Rolling his eyes and adjusting his zanpakuto better Yukimura stood up to leave. Turning to Jurisho Yukimura cleared his throat. "I think I am going to head back to the office. Have fun." Ignoring his third seat participating in the battle Yukimura prepared to leave when the sound of a garganta opening rang through the area. Eyes widening slightly as he turned to the garganta Yukimura reigned in his emotions staring at the man standing before them. Then the sight of Nanashi and Ashley turned his stomach. Two Captains? Well he was obviously one of the higher ranked Espada. Putting his hand on his zanpakuto he did not need to ask the common questions. He was obviously here to fight and who cares what he wanted. He had killed two Captains after all. Yukimura held nothing but hatred for the man as he presented both bodies then tossed them effortlessly just in front of him. Then the Espada disappeared solidly to attack a third seat which was basically ignored. There was no need to even do anything.
Just as he was about to go retrieve the two Captains just to make sure they were dead Zenos reappeared. Yukimura glared watching him kick Ashley a few feet away. While just that small display of speed told Yukimura he was outclassed in terms of speed at the very least. Still the absence of any kind of reiatsu made Yukimura wonder how strong he was exactly. Oh well he had to try. Using Shunpo he appeared in front of Ashley facing Zenos and reaching down grabbing her wrist then used shunpo to move back. Setting Ashley back on the ground Yukimura looked up only to be met with the sight of the cero hovering above Nanashi. s**t. Gritting his teeth Yukimura recognized there was nothing he could do and let Zenos continue. Looking down at Ashley Yukimura bent down and put his fingers to her neck beofre hanging his head. There was nothing. Then after a moment or two he felt it faint but still very much there. Eyes widening again Yukimura quickly took off his haori and put it to the open wound of her stomach pressing down. Moving his free hand to her face and lightly tapping it to hopefully arouse her. "Wake up..." The words were whispered and Yukimura was still trying to keep an eye on Zenos. Hopefully someone kept him busy. He was not very skilled in healing kido after all and therefore hopefully he wouldn't be needed to attempt to heal her. Maybe Nanashi wasn't dead after all. Now Yukimura regretted not helping him as well.
---------------------------------------------------"On this day its so real to me. Everything has come to life. Another chance to chase a dream. Another chance to feel. Chance to feel alive. Fear will kill me, all I could be. Lift these sorrows. Let me breathe, could you set me free? Could you set me free? On this day I see clearly everything has come to life. A bitter place and a broken dream. And we'll leave it all behind. On this day its so real to me. Everything has come to life. Another chance to chase a dream. Another chance to feel. Chance to feel alive."

 Mikito Sikijiro, Young Sanseki of Squad 13
Mikito drawed his blade and gave a flicker of a smile before he noticed the gargantua ripping through the sky, and much to Mikito's shock, the arrancer held two captains and threw them carelessly down. He then suddenly dissapeared and attacked at random spots at a such incredible speed, more faster than Mikito had seen before...
The young kid's air was taken out of his longs as the bodies started to get in focus,
"Ashley Taichou... Nanashi Taichou..."
Whispered Mikito with a breaking voice, Mikito couldn't bring himself to use his kido to stop Zenos. Mikito knew dreadfully in his heart that Mikito would never be able to stop Zenos at all, that Zenos was better at everything than Mikito, than those two captains he had defeated. Mikito didn't know whether to take a step foward to help, or take a step back and seem like a coward,
"Goddammit.."
Cursed Mikito, his body wasn't able to move, it was if he was frozen in time. The only thing he was able to do is watch his captain take care of Ashley, and he slowly craned his neck to Nanashi and Zenos... something said that Nanashi was dead, a horrible feeling was stirring inside Mikito about that horribly horrible fact.

I keep burning for you Nayton smiled, he was excited to see the combatants in action, it would be a very wonderful series of events, he knew that it would make for passing the time. He had wondered if he would join after all, thinking for a moment, he suddenly was reduced to a horrified feeling. His overly jolly exterior was suddenly shattered by the sudden zipping sound that now echoed through the air, he knew all to well what this was, but it dazzled his mind why would their be an appearance of a hollow in Seireitei? What could possibly be their motive? Seeing Zenos, Nayton's eyes narrowed, though he felt nothing close to power coming from the being, this gave him suspicions on how strong he was, given the ability to do so entirely. "Yes, of course." Agreeing with Yukito, he ran after him. Nayton hadn't noticed Nanashi or Ashely, but at their sight, he gasped in horror, he couldn't believe two captains could be taken down by a single man, this only proved Nayton's earlier suspicions, this man was someone not to be played with. Now appearing nearest Adachi and the others, he drew his sword, an expression of worry. "This man..." Sweat began to appear on his face, seeing him display his other worldly speed, he would not risk a foolish attack. "He obviously posses an amazing amount of power, but to what extend." Whispering to himself, he sat back, waiting to see what the others would do, he was waiting for orders even, he pushed back away from the crowd he was in, his sword still drawn though, ready to try and intercept any sudden hordes of Hollows he was almost expecting to see burst in.

 Dai Sen-Seki ภobu ץana.• `■ - □ ( ● I ○
j-ūbaﾐﾗｺﾅntai  I 've wanted to see the last of my kindThe commotion had commenced far too fast for Nobu to have even the slightest chance of reacting in a defensive way, he was completely thrown off, not knowing what to do or who to do it too. Nobu was, however, instantly prepared for battle, drawing on both his sword and courage, turning on his homes attacker, he stood with bravery, determination, and, most of all, a shattered heart and mind. His eyes grew blank with sorrow, his face became as plain as the sky, he stumbled forward a bit, sword now laying tipped on the ground, he shook his head. "N-no way." He spoke softly, his unarmed hand waving the sight of his dead captain, he felt a rush of heat fluster him, his eye lids went half over, his head not knowing which direction it should lean, he was silent, the scene obviously disturbed him much more than one might think it would have. "Taichou? Taichou?" Nobo fell to his knees, he didn't have the strength to stand. "How? How could you have been killed?" At this time, Nobu hadn't even fully realized Zenos at all, he wasn't even aware that he had done anything. Crawling forward a bit, Nobu began to snap back into reality and back into what he was being faced with, his momentum picked back up, his face now becoming red with pain and anger, he got back to his feet. "Are..are you the one that has done this?" Knowing full well that the man in some way had a hand in the death of his leader, Nobu never intended on letting him speak, or answer for his beastly acts. "Never in my life, have I felt so much...despiration to kill someone." Fully disregarding anything else that was commencing around him, not taking into account that the Captain-Commander himself had not yet taken action. "I'LL KILL YOU!!" With a sudden express outburst of passionate rage, Nobo sprung into action. "BANKAI! GROW WILD INTO ALL SEASONS! SHIZENKAI!" Screaming wildly, the ground beneath him cracked away, forming a large staff that Nobu now held in his hands. "KAZAN!" Hitting the ground four times, the earth began to shake, all around parts in the ground began to explode with giant eruptions of extremely hot volcanic plasma. "DIE YOU b*****d!" Springing forth now as the ability was commencing, he rushed into Zenos aiming to take his head off.

Linuen Frost
Third Seat, Seventh Division
Excited as he was moments before, Linuen's smile faded as soon as he heard a distant, ripping sound that somewhat - and comically - like a zipper. Nonetheless, the moment he turned to the origin of the sound, his breath ran out of him like a man running from death. He froze in horror as he saw an unknown figure materialize around the festival area. The enemy stood there motionlessly as he pulled two seemingly rag dolls on both his hands. Linuen gave off a yelp of horror as soon as he discovered that the two figures before the unknown foe-seeming man were the bodies of two captains of the Gotei elite: Nanashi and Ashley.
Thoughts ran wild. Breathing became a harder task now. And above all else, Linuen's mind screamed of panic. He clutched his chest with his hand and felt himself move slightly to Shizuka, his captain. After all, he did promise to himself that he would never, ever let someone or something hurt her. And above all ---
It hit faster than any speeding bullet as the figure magically appeared in front of Linuen. His thoughts ran dry. He knew, deep inside, he was too slow to get himself out of this little snag. "Shizuk---" He was able to utter as the spinning back kick struck Linuen ever so swift and yet hard. A single sigh escaped from the Third Seat's mouth as he spun in the air and crashed at the nearest stall, completely obliterating the entire mini-shop and those around it. That moment, the people around the area where Linuen last stood yelled in horror and ran for their lives as they saw the unconscious body of Linuen dangle from one of the broken wood of the stall.
Linuen moved no more.

Her eyes narrowed as she took in the sight of the two battered and injured Captains and she deduced rather quickly that he would have been the one to have killed them both. It was jumping to conclusions at the moment, but since he had been the one who had done that, had now let them all have a good look and had not denied anything – everything was pointing towards him having done it. Clenching her teeth together, she forced her anger to subside, controlling her emotions as she had done so often before. It was rational thinking that would help now, not rushing in and attempting to try anything stupid. “Don’t try anything, Nobu,” she uttered in a clear voice to the person next to her, whom she knew would be angry at Zenos for obvious reasons, yet she knew that if he attacked, it would be literally suicide. Her face stayed calm and her voice stayed even, something that was usual and completely different, most likely, to the others around her. When he ‘disappeared’, she swung around, not drawing her zanpakuto at the moment, but keeping a wary eye out for him. He was fast, she could tell that well enough, and fast enough that she couldn’t trace his movements properly. Spinning around, she caught sight of him kicking Linuen as well as sending a blank stare her way. She promptly ignored any anger or frustration that arose from her as well as his stare as she kicked off the ground, shunpo’ing at her full potential to be able to catch Linuen.
She was unable to catch him before he crashed into the stall and she just barely managed gently extract his unconscious body from the broken wood of the stall. Looking at the other people with cold eyes, she warned them in a cold voice, “Panicking will hardly help the situation and certainly, I wouldn’t advise you to scream or carry on the way that you are in at the moment.” While she would have usually been her more persuasive self, her nerves were too frayed to attempted any calming down or crowd control. Then again, she realized with some bitterness, the others were never going to be able to get anything done if the crowd kept on going mad like this. The crowd and the masses would be easy targets if they were not subdued before too long. “Damnit!” she cursed loudly at the fact that she was torn between two things, before sliding her zanpakuto out of its sheath and muttering, “Rise, Getsuei.” Her zanpakuto shifted to a thinner, almost transparent blade as her Shikai was activated, but she discarded it without another thought since it would be useless to her at the moment. Seeing that Nobu had not done as she had said and was instead attempting to attack Zenos, she firstly dealt with that, forcibly sending calm into him and suppressing the anger as best as she could, while she yelled out at him, “Nobu, stop this before you get yourself or someone else around you killed!” While she wanted to desperately do something about the fact that Zenos wanted to further injure Nanashi’s corpse, her duty was now to the living and the fighters would take care of the situation.
Gently throwing Linuen’s body over her shoulder, as she had no other place to put him and he would be safest with her, she kept an alert eye on her surroundings, knowing that she was now a prime target, due to the fact that she would be slowed by Linuen. Yet, she concentrated her powers not on attacking Zenos or defending herself from potential targets, instead driving the emotion of calm into each and every person in the crowd. There were no qualms about the fact that she was using force to calm them as she knew that they could not interfere. Before long, the screams and shouts from the crowds soon subsided and they became subdued, albeit confused about exactly why they were in that manner. Turning to the nearby crowds, she started to direct them away from Zenos, motioning for them to leave as she told them over and over again that it would be safer for them to be gone. There was a little more order and less chaos now that the masses were not panicking, but she allowed them to leave in a scattered, disorderly manner as she knew that she simply did not have the time to order them around. Throwing a panicked glance towards Zenos, she desperately hoped that someone else, hopefully one of the Captains, would interfere since she had her hands full with her current task at hand.

Captain of Squad Five
The appearance of the Espada was truly a surprise, causing Akusuna to jump up from his chair. He noted two Captains, neither of which he recognized, were bleeding with holes clean through them. Judging from the haoris, one of the dead Captains was the fourth squad captain, which meant saving them became even more slim. Still, Akusuna watched the Espada for movement, wondering what the man's intent was, until he suddenly disappeared.
A crash from behind alerted Akusuna to the Espada's location, albeit temporarily. Looking around, Akusuna saw that another man had been kicked into some stalls, right before the Espada disappeared once more. Looking back towards the field, he saw that the Espada was back by the dead bodies. One of the contestants, the man from Tenth Squad, had lost his reasoning and decided to attack, even though it was clear that this Espada would kill him if he tried. On top of that, it appeared that the Espada wished to destroy the bodies of the fallen, as if to disgrace the Shinigami.
"Hado 1: Sho." Akusuna cast, aiming to push the contestant away from the Espada before he did anything foolish. "Bakudo 81: Danku."
The second kido was aimed at the space between the Espada and the Captain, preventing the cero from destroying the man's head. It wasn't much, but it was all Akusuna could do in the given time.
"Yasoa, restrain that contestant." Akusuna ordered, then flash-stepped onto the field before the Espada. He didn't attempt anything, but waited for the other Captains to join. In the meantime, he took this time to visually analyze his opponent as much as possible, while he still can.

Mikito Sikijiro, Young Sanseki of Squad 13
Mikito felt sanity and hope flying out the window as the Fukutaichou went wild, he watched as the ground broke and an inferno dance skyward into the air. He watched as the captains quickly one-by-one appearing into the field.
Suddenly regainning a bit of his senses Mikito shunpo'd out of the arena onto the bleachers before a horrible fight breoke out, before he shunpo'd he whispered to Unohana,
"Sorry Unohana, we better not be close around for this fight..."
Mikito then realized that Ashley was Unohana's Taichou, and felt immsenly bad, remebering seeing one of the 3rd seats get kicked by the espada, but also remembered that someone else was taking care of Lieunen, what was Mikito able to do?

Z E T S U M E I XXXXXXXXXXXⅫ Junibantai Taichou" The minute we are born, we are 𝖉𝖎𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖌. It's up to you if you want to live longer, or die quicker... " ┄⊰ The lack of response made Zetsumei frown a bit, but it was quickly gone as two newcomers of the event were heading down to the arena. Zetsumei didn't even notice Unohana showing up and speaking to the other Taichou before she was called down, he was once again in thought about his experiment. The fight didn't even get to start, everything was interrupted from the zipper-like noise coming from the sky, Zetsumei instantly knew it was from a Garganta, which made him interested in what was coming out, and he looked up at the sky where it was coming from. An arrancar came out, that was it, a little odd, maybe he had a death wish? That's when he noticed what the Arrancar was holding: Two limp and very recognizable bodies, the bodies of Nanashi and Ashley Taichou. A sense of grief hit him, as he watched the arrancar come down to the ground. It was obvious from the start this arrancar had power, he must of been at least Segunda, but most likely the Primera that is if he was part of the Espada.
As the events unfolded down in front of him, Zetsumei just stood there watching. The arrancar suddenly disappeared, the speed was intense and even.. beautiful. The explosion of a food stand caught his eye, Linuen was the first victim here of the arrancar's wrath. The Arrancar then came back to his first position, kicked Ashley's body away, and prepared to add further insult by blowing the head off of the already-dead Nanashi. It's a good thing Yukimura Taichou moved Ashley's body, now he himself could take action. As the gray cero charged, Zetsumei took a step forward up in the balcony, the other Taichou were already gone and he was the last one in place spare for his Fukutaichou who was still present unless she left without him noticing. The moment the cero was fired from the Arrancar's index finger, twenty bones resembling a rib cage erupted from the ground around Nanashi's upper-body and formed a shield. The bone was covered in blood proving that it was the stronger bone, the very bone that comes directly from his body and not just created.
An explosion was be caused from the direct contact of the shield from the cero, but it would protect Nanashi's head and do more damage to Zenos due to the close range of the explosion. Reason for Zetsumei to revive Nanashi? There was something he wanted from the body before it would be obliterated: a blood sample and possibly brain matter for his research. And the fact that he was a Taichou probably played a part in his reasoning somewhere. The bone protecting the body would be fairly damaged, but held it's structure perfectly. Of course this in terms damaged Zetsumei's body as well, it was the very bone coming from his body after all. Just the moment after the explosion more bone came from all around Zenos from the ground, this bone was more created so there were vast more quantities. Another ten spiked pillars ripped out and directed to Zenos' head and mid section. This was to possibly get the Arrancar away from Nanashi's lip body, but if a little damage was done too then that would just be an added bonus. He looked down at Yukimura Taichou who was attempting to wake Ashley Taichou, he frowned a bit hoping Ashley was still alive. Not only was one of the very few good friends he had, but she was the perfect host for his experiment, someone who wouldn't get rejected by it and actually survive. Her living was very beneficial to him in every way.
With a small grin Zetsumei leaped off the balcony, and into the arena with the others and the Arrancar. Where he once stood, up in the balcony, two small holes were made where his feet were showing that the bone came out from under his feet and through the structure, into the ground, and out wherever he chose. Whether of not Zenos was hit by the last pillars of bone or not, they would provide a cage to protect Nanashi's body where it lied. When he arrived in the arena, Nobu already released his bankai and came at Zenos with a full frontal attack, very foolish on his part. When emotions took over your thoughts and you charge at an enemy, nothing good will ever be the outcome. Zetsumei felt generous, he would try to stop the emotionally crazed Shinigami from bringing his own death to himself. Once again pillars of bone raised up in front of Nobu and curled up for if he attempted to jump over them he would hit his head harshly and could possibly be knocked out. Zetsumei was almost hoping Zenos went after him, he was the only one who was occupied with dieing or helping someone else, plus if Zetsumei got the chance to fight the Primera, he would be able to study him easily.
