*edited* Crap! Sorry about that! >.< ))  ~* Evil Wolf*~Evil burst onto the scene less than a second after Powchii forced the orb into her chest. She disregarded the bount for a moment as she rounded on her subordinate, lunging and grabbing her viciously by the scruff and shaking her, her eyes full of fury and worry. Her heart thudded painfully in the chest and she screamed, "What the hell did you think you were doing?!" Her voice was harsh and had the Alpha's bite to it and she dropped her, breathing a little heavily before looking at the still present bount. She could tell by a scent difference in her pup that something had happened, and she was not easily fooled. "You! You slimy bottom feeder! What did you do to her?!" Her Zaigou rage was starting to fuel her anger, plus the stench of the bount was stinging her extremely sensitive nose, making it burn and want to shred him to pieces. Her reistu flared and exploded around her, the symbols etched onto her skin began to writhe, looking like serpents crawling all over her. She was sick of this bullshit, first capturing her 3rd seat, then abducting a 4th squad member who she was looking after, then having the gall to mess with her 4th seat and her pup. Evil was thoroughly pissed off now. Just the pure pressure of reitsu would be enough to bring her fourth seat to her knees and leave noticeable dents in the labyrinth walls around them. If he tried to run, she'd disintegrate him with a reido. Her whole being at this moment was for killing Hollows, and she was ready to do it, but she was sure she could dispatch a bount just fine. All she needed to know was what he had done to Ash. ~*Commander-General of the Sereitei, Captain of Squad 10*~

 Suddenly the soft tapping of foot steps where heard as a figure began to emerge from the shadows of the labryinth. Hagane emerged with his hands tucked away in his pockets his eyes peering through at Evil as her obvious rage seemed to flare more and more with each passing second. "It would appear your a tad pissed, why exactly?" He asked his right eye seeming to gleam a rather more magnificent yellow than usual. It was a seeming misplaced excitement that seemed to bubble up from being in the presence of Evil. It was like starting in your first varsity game, he felt butterflies in his stomach this excitement seeming to continue to rise up as her reiatsu flared. "That's a quite impressive reiatsu you have" He uttered taking in a deep breath of it, instantly he categorized it. A look of intrigue washed over as he sensed something a bit new, he had a speculation as to what it could be but figured he shouldn't assume anything at this point.
"So anyway I suppose I'm here to fight you, I would much rather have chatted so I could figure you out a bit more. Perhaps we'll get to do both" He said his left hand withdrawing from his pocket as it came to a rest by his side. His zanpakuto was sitting on his right side on a sash most likely revealing to Evil that he was in fact left handed. "How rude of me, I'm Hagane Tori. You may have the first attack I guess" He stated, Hagane was more of a counter type person anyway. He preferred to respond to moves instead of making them. Which would be good considering his job here wasn't to attempt to kill this shinigami but simply prolong her entry into Las Noches as long as possible. His feet slid a bit on the ground making his stance just a tad wider than his shoulders, allowing him to properly respond to whatever attack she would dish out. "Wasn't there some famous saying?..... Hell Hath no fury like a women scorned... I suppose I'll be putting that to the test today." He mused a slight tone of sarcasm in his thoughts. He wasn't sure how he should feel about fighting such a strong opponent so early in the game. He certainly couldn't give away his release to her yet, meaning he wouldn't get to have much fun.

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil shuddered as the powerful smell of Espada hit her nose. It grated on her, burning her nostrils and making her whole body tingle. She was something designed to destroy these creatures and now here was one that had practically fallen into her lap while she was royally pissed off. her eyes narrowed, not wanting to look away from the Bount in case he might make a run for it. She growled softly, her whole body trembling. She had her back to an Espada who was just egging her on to fight. But she needed to focus on the Bount in front of her who had done something to her pup. She gritted her teeth, the two desires raging over her and making her reitsu amp up again. She honestly didn't care if anyone noticed her, because she wanted to make them scared. She wanted them to see the consequences of thinking they could just kidnap a Shinigami from her Gotei 13 and get away with it. She'd burn this whole godforsaken place down if that's what it took. Her shoulder muscles tightened as she addressed the Espada. "Hagane is it? I ask that you kindly shut up while I try to talk to this bount here, I'll get to shredding you up soon enough." she said, her voice thick with the loathing her Zaigou instincts created, the hatred of the Hollows and their very kind, which disrupted the balance of Souls in the existing worlds. ~*Commander-General of the Sereitei, Captain of Squad 10*~

Ash yipped in surprise as Evil grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and shook her like a disobedient pup. To her Alpha's credit, she had every right to be angry with Ash. She'd disobeyed orders, broken rank, even tried to ignore the commands of her Pack leader and captain. It was insubordination she knew she should have been sorry for, but she couldn't bring herself to feel contrite. Not when Ami was still in danger.
As Evil dropped her and rounded on Powchii, Ash phased back into her human form. On her hands and knees, she fought against the wave of dizziness that washed over her. The icy chill of whatever Powchii had placed in her chest coupled with the bite of her Alpha's words made her shake, breaking out into a cold sweat. Despite her discomfort, she pushed herself to her feet, using the wall for support, only to be forced back down by Evil's spiritual pressure. Her eyes were hectic and bright, a broad range of emotions flickering across her face-- panic, fear, pain, but always back to that hot anger towards Ami's unknown kidnapper. She didn't look at all sorry for breaking rank, but it wasn't out of disrespect for her captain.
If she was lucky, Evil would be distracted enough by the double threat of the Bount and the newly-arrived arrancar to keep track of Aislinn in a few minutes. Then Ash could slip away. It was borderline mutinous to think this way, but she knew Evil was a powerful warrior and had two others to support her. Only Ami could ever cloud Ash's priorities like this. She knew it was her one true weakness, but it was one she gave into whole-heartedly. If love was going to make her do foolish things, she might as well be properly foolish and break all the rules at once. Now if only she could move under this immense pressure...
Did you lose something precious, Aislinn? A voice, silky smooth and dark whispered in the pup's head. As soon as Powchii had carried out his task, Jes felt the connection between herself and Aislinn strengthen. Now she needn't amuse herself with vague, unfocused dreams. If things went according to plan, their bond would shortly become much, much stronger.
[Hooray for crew edits ^^ - Jes]

Hagane stood surprised by her answer, "By all means take your time, kill the whelp if you need." Hagane said phlegmatically. He was in no rush to engage her, Jes simply said distract her so if this little bount would waste time he had no desire to interrupt it and possibly piss her off more. Besides Hagane could relate, if one of his subordinates left only to get injured by an offender he'd be pissed off as well. "She's Like a lioness, probably the most efficient form of a leader. Compassionate yet fierce when need be, I can easily respect her. I should keep my guard on high I'm not supposed to let anyone by so that little one may try to one, I guess the bount shouldn't pass me either. So I can kill him, but I'll leave the shinigami alive for now. Bikou may want to touch this captain too" He thought his mind seeming to branch down the endless tree of possibilities involving these three.
He watched the little one, his took in a deep breathe being able to feel all the emotions pouring out of her. "Jesus, it's like sitting in a wedding. You shouldn't be such a slave to your emotions, it could get you killed" He said easily being able to sense the strong sense of passion he guessed love was involved. So he was being a bit hypocritical because he would honestly do the same for his, though then again no one knew who she was. His stature was stoic waiting for the captain to engage him figuring all the time she wasted was part of his success.

Powchii merely stood in place before the wolf, his usual expression seemed vacant and blank. Even in the presence of someone as powerful as Evil he calmly stood firm and made no attempt to run. Her energy was bearing down on him and without the Shinyogo integrated into him he wouldn't be able to raise a hand against her without being mamed. He raised a hand and sarcastically fanned himself, "If you really wanted to know what I've done to her you'd let things play out and see what points to where." he didn't budge, a drop of sweat slid by the side of his left eye.
'Move~' Gekko's voice echoed in Powchii's head, it's reverberations grew more violent as it died off.
Powchii quickly silenced his dolls, "What I did is of little importance now." he said giving the captain a passive wave. He pointed at the now human form Aislinn, "Besides if she had been honest with from the start you could have prevented this whole thing. So~ lets just classify this as a case of neglect." he said musing with the wolf. He pushed his right hand deep into his jacket pocket, squeezing the small orb in his hand tightly. He took a deep breathe and waited for any opening he could get.

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil's eyes narrowed as she listened to both the espada and the bount at the same time. She didn't like having to divide herself like this, guarding her flank and keeping the bount and Ash still in one place. She could tell by Ash's body movements and the emotions radiating off her that she wanted to get away. She couldn't help but sneer, her anger starting to reach a new, more dangerously high peak. The Zaigou symbol on the back of her right hand glowed fiercly as she was ready to tear the bount and espada to pieces. She took in a deep yet shaky breath, trying to calm herself. First, she needed the correct information and then she could deal with the pair, and then Ash. "Case of neglect my a**. Tell me right now what you did to her and where Kasen and Ami are being kept. I don't have time to deal with subordinates." She snarled, her Reitsu cranking up even more, now visibly swirling around her. instead of the orange it was usually colored, it was now tinged with black due to her being in her Zaigou form. She was very quickly losing her patience and tired of talking. ~*Commander-General of the Sereitei, Captain of Squad 10*~

Powchii pulled the Shinyogo from his pocket and held it close to his chest, "I really don't have time to play." he said as he pulled his scarf off revealing the red spot on his chest. Since the Shinyogo had been removed the bleeding hadn't stopped, but the orb Jes supplied him had stemmed it to the point where Powchii could function on average standards. He took a deep breathe and unzipped the white shirt revealing his bare chest, the black hole in the center of his chest was an oddity, but the ribcage that formed outside of his body was even stranger. He didn't want to force the Shinyogo back into himself under the current situation, but he needed to if he wanted to stand a chance against Evil.
The light from the Shinyogo was sucked into his chest, it's light completely vanished and filled the hole in Powchii's chest. Once it was fully absorbed it formed a small Bount Crest on his chest, the crest had a pale light that seemed to dance around inside of him.
"Hm~ you even took a bit from the wolf." Gekko said noting the hints of Shinigami reistu now captive in the Shinyogo.
Genma chuckled in excitement as the orb restored the gaps in Powchii's strength.
Powchii's energy increased tenfold, but he hid it. A small spike could be felt, but he quelled it before it exploded. He exhaled and stood straight up, acting as though nothing had happened. He casually zipped his shirt back up the wrapped the scarf around his neck. He took a fighting stance, "I am unaware as to the whereabouts of 'Kasen' or 'Ami' so there's no use in trying to find out more from me." he shook his head, "As for Aislinn. . . That information is for me and my employer only." he took a step back and called fourth Gekko and Genma.
"Hello~" Genma greeted happily greeted.
"Hmph." Gekko grunted.
Powchii reluctantly took a formal stance, "If you intend to fight me I'll gladly oblige." he said leaving the descision to Evil.

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil didn't look too scared by the bount's sudden movements, the hole in his chest, the orb being absorbed inside of him, or even the sudden increase in strength he seemed to receive. "Employer hm? Is it Ky perhaps? Though I doubt it since he would just order you. I would have to guess that it was either Jes or Temor then since you're allowed into Las Noches without being hindered. Am I getting warm little leech?" She said snidely, way beyond pleasantries or any sort of patience. He'd given her enough so that she could investigate the rest on her own. She glanced at Ash, her eyes sparking with fury. "Stay." She hissed, once again using her Alpha speech to impose her will on the young pup. She never liked to use this lightly, since she felt it wasn't fair, but this was an extreme situation and should be handled as such. She could feel her eyes dilate as she scented the air, practically tasting the blood that ran through their bodies even as she heard it and their hearts thumping. The sound was starting to drive her mad and she cracked her knuckles, the sound loud, very similar to how firecrackers popped. "I suppose you're of no more use to me then. I'll just find your 'employer' and get the rest I need from there." As she said this she'd began to charge a reido, letting it dance on her fingertips and collect energy before she'd fire it. As soon as she was done she lifted her hand almost lazily, spreading her fingers so that they encompassed both his dolls and him. "Reido." She said softly, her eyes narrowed into a glare as five medium sized beams shot from her fingertips and shot towards Powchii, having covered the short distance between the two after she uttered the word in less than a second. ~*Commander-General of the Sereitei, Captain of Squad 10*~

Powchii's actions were just as quick as Evil's. He brought his right arm high up to the left side of his head then brought his hand across the air infront of him. Five blue blades composed of electrical energy formed in the air a few feet in front of him. He then brought his left arm high up into the air by the right side of his head, five red shield composed of the same matter formed over the five blue blades.
"Genma!" Gekko shouted.
"Gekko!" Genma cried in response.
There was a bright flash and a thick wall of yellow electricity erupted from the ground. It took a solid form one it completely formed, the wall it created was a sleek looking, clear wall. He wasn't sure of the power of her 'Reido', but he knew his defense had never failed him before.
"What a harsh blow." Gekko said.
"It's to be expected from one like the Commander General." Genma added.
Powchii let his hands fall from their positions, the swords and shields faded, but the wall remained, "You aren't cold, but you're close." Powchii said in response. "I might work for Ky, or I might worrk for Jes/Temor. The fact that I walk around with 'unhindered' makes the latter of the two seem the more logical choice, but have you taken into thought that the Bount have an aliance with Jes?" he said shrugging. He held both of his hands out, a blade formed in his right, a shield in his left. "I'm afraid I can't let you pass." Powchii said, "Whether it's fool-hardy or not, I'll honor the terms of our agreement." he let the wall in front of him fade and pointed his blade at Evil, "Your move once more." he let the calm between them heighten his nerves.

“Stay?” The same cool voice that had echoed in the pup’s head now resounded in the Labyrinth corridor for all to hear, mocking Evil’s command. There was no spiritual signature to be felt, but suddenly the shadows that lurked in the nooks and crannies seemed darker, more like ink than an area obstructed from the light.
With a static pop that heralded a sonido, Jes appeared. Though usually content lead from the shadows, there were some things that had to be handled personally. Few in the Seireitei knew of her or her powers beyond vague reports. Even fewer knew of her appearance. Although striking, there was nothing to suggest that she wielded the power of the Primera and maintained control over the whole of Las Noches. Her Espada tattoo was hidden beneath her crimson kimono top. Even her blade was simple and unassuming—a long, black bladed dagger. Yet, if the shinigami Captain-Commander was bright enough to narrow down the list of Powchii’s possible “employers,” she might determine Jes’s identity.
But that was just idle musing. Knowing who she was wouldn’t help Evil prevent what she planned to do. Jes’s features were smooth, betraying no real emotion, but inwardly, she was elated. The shinigami really were making her plans far too easy. All she needed was one last component and they’d been kind enough to deliver it at her doorstep.
Kneeling beside Aislinn, she caught the pup’s chin between her long, pale fingers and tilted her head to one side as though assessing the craftsmanship of a weapon. She smiled then, but there was absolutely no friendliness in the gesture. The pup was perfect for her needs, but based upon the feelings Jes sensed rolling from her, she wouldn’t get very far without locating Ami, too. She wouldn't be an effective leader if she didn't know what went on in her territories. Ami's reiatsu was weak, as though hidden, but it was enough for Jes to locate her. Her whereabouts presented a small issue. If she didn't move quickly there might not be much of Ami left. That wouldn't do at all.
"No. We must be going," Her slim fingers encircled Aislinn’s neck. She rose, dragging Aislinn up with her. Jes was so tall that the pup’s feet left the ground. It was unlikely that Ash would resist, crippled both by her captain's command and heavy spiritual pressure. As an afterthought, she addressed the Bount. “Don’t get killed Powchii. You’re useless to me dead,”
With that, she vanished, taking Aislinn along with her.
[Exit with Ash]

((Oh, I hope you all don't mind Evil's language. She's PO'd and her Zaigou form is pretty brash, so don't take it personally. )) ~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil's turned to watch Jes come and then make off with her other pup. Her shoulders slumped, her fury suddenly whiffing out as if were a candle flame and a stopper had been put on it. She looked blankly at the spot where Ash had been moments before. Her intelligence on Jes was hazy, since she was still only a new leader of Las Noches, but her overall knowledge of the place was pretty good. She could find her way around if she needed to. Suddenly, her throat tightened and she felt something bubbling up from it, making her shake. She clapped her hand to her mouth and began to giggle, then uncovered it and laughed hysterically, her eyes wild and gleaming. "What the ********! What kind of Captain Commander am I if I can't even keep a hold of my own pup? Everyone just slips through my fingers as if they were nothing but sand..." She snickered, her voice bordering on hysterical. Then she froze again, her features cold and uncaring. The sudden flip in her emotional state was enough to confuse anyone, but quite frankly didn't give a damn. Now she had a scent. Now she had a face. Now she knew who had taken Ash and most likely the 4th squad member would be there as well. Her upper lip curled into a sneer and she regarded then Bount and then the Espada. "You both aren't worth the energy. One of you tell me where Ash has been taken or I'll go find them myself, since it doesn't matter to me." She said, tapping the side of her nose slightly, showing she knew how to follow a scent trail, even if it was choppy. She debated about whether or not she should rescue Kasen first, since he could most likely help her. "Where's Kasen?" She asked the Espada, her voice cold. In the inside a flame of hatred and fury was beginning to smolder again, the delayed responses of the pair only adding fuel to it's fire. She hated just standing here and wasting time. "TELL ME WHERE HE IS! WOLF GODS DAMN YOU!" She roared, clenching her hands into fists. Her visible reistsu made popping and crackling sounds, starting to go out farther and farther from her body as she released more and more. She hadn't even released her Shikai yet. ~*Commander-General of the Sereitei, Captain of Squad 10*~

Hagane watched her flare seeing her reiatsu boom after Evil was taken, "I'm afraid I have no useful recollection of the information you seek. Perhaps you could do something to cause it to surface, after all there is a lot of memory in this 1000 year old mind" He said tapping the side of his skull with his right hand. His guard was on high, that blast she fire, a reido was it? It's signature was different, not like a kidou. Most similar to a cero if he had to guess, though Hagane had concluded that he should stay away from that blast at all costs. "How many others are you? Your obviously not all shinigami. I've felt tons of different reiatsu and some of that flaring up now is completely different." Hagane said hoping to get a name to categorize this new feeling that was surrounding him.
His eyes flickered to powchii before flickering back to Evil, "It's a two on one. The only trouble is I have no knowledge of his abilities. I believe Evil has to do with fire, last time I checked. That could be tough to combat, but I wonder if she can get burned with her own fire. I suppose there's only one way to find out. This will be a good test to see how I can fair against opponents at the next level" He mused his eyes fixated at Evil. He was meticulously scanning her trying to look for a tell or something, but it became increasingly hard with this dual personality seeming to take over.

~* Evil Wolf*~ Evil sneered when the Hagane brushed her off, obviously stalling for time. She didn't like being forced to stay in one place while she had other things to do, like go and rescue THREE people now, and still keep tabs on Zaine and Tenshu, who still hadn't shown up yet. She ignored his questions about the Zaigou, deciding if he wasn't going to answer any of hers she wouldn't answer any of his. She rounded on him, her shoulders squared and her fangs bared. She growled menacingly, the sound low and threatening. "I'll just question your Master then if you have 'no useful recollection' of where Kasen is." She said, her voice sharp and pissed off sounding. She began to walk forward, towards the espada and where she could tell the general scent and power signature went when Jes had sonidoed out. She cracked her knuckles, rolling her head and popping her neck as well. She didn't care if he moved or not, she was getting through him one way or the other. ~*Commander-General of the Sereitei, Captain of Squad 10*~

Powchii added to Hagane's statement, "Neither of us do, so attempting to get any more info from us is useless." Powchii shook his head and let out a sigh. He turned his attention to Hagane who was stalling, he was gathering information. He relaxed the grip on his sword and shield letting his mind analyze the current situation.
'Are we letting her by? Or are we stalling?' Gekko asked.
'I wanna play some more!' Genma said happily.
Powchii didn't respond, he was locked in though. . .
She's incredibly powerful, but that's to be expected from the captain-commander. Her power keeps increasing and it seems to have no ends, but she hasn't even released Shikai, or Bankai. From my knowledge she's a fire type Zanpakuto, as to the extent of it's abilities I'm unsure. Then there's Hagane, Jes's 'escort'. I'm unsure of his abilities at all, but I am sure he's just as powerful as any captain in the seretei. So I'm sure he'll be a decent ally. As for me, well I know my strengths and weaknesses. But the reunion of the Shinyogo allows me to call Foudre. The only one to have seen it is Kenji and Pad, Kenji is no more and Pad was busy fighting Kenji himself so not a single person knows its mechanics or powers. Overall I think we'll be able to stall out and by enough time for Jes.
He reassumed his stance. Blade pointed at her and shield kept to his left side at shoulder length. Back when he was younger he was a called a Paragon, an expert in the arts of offense and defense. He was a knight for hire, and one that was never beaten. He still maintained his skill and was constantly grooming and honing any new techniques he learned.
