Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tetsunosuke Harasawa

First Division's Lieutenant

◥

Tetsunosuke felt anger inside himself grow... he wanted badly to just cut Aurelius straight down the middle, but he couldn't. He felt like a lamb being lead to a sacrifice. The Spīritus that the crumb-crusher released made Tetsunosuke almost take a knee. But he refused to submit to him. "Wh-what is this..." He gritted. He soon figured out that it was simply a mind over matter situation and struggled to come over it.

After the little trick he pulled off, he knew that Tomomi had been attacked by his own attack, but knew that his Captain wouldn't fall victim so easily. Tetsunosuke Flash Stepped out of the way of the falling building. His scythe was in his right hand, but he didn't want to destroy it, in case it was some sort of trick. He was Air Walking now toward the others. His face had a soured look as he walked. "Why the heck are their so many seated officers here that are just getting in our way." He murmured under his breath at the disobedience of no one listening to orders when they're given.

Good, Gobantai Taicho had finally shown up, and it appeared Hei's daughter had planed something. Lee was driving that plan into action when Tetsunosuke was finally close enough to them. "Kyūbantai-Taicho, I doubt Elisia-fukutaicho's medicine will have much effect on Tsukiko Hakase." Tetsu stated, basically saying what he thought was obvious. "Goteijūsantai [Gotei 13], now that Sōtaichō is free from Aurelius' grasp, don't let him end back in his hands. Now, we remain on the defensive till Jūnibantai-taicho, and/or Yonbantai-taicho arrive, if they do. If we have to, we will have to let three million human's be sacrificed... We cannot let the entire Goteijūsantai fall victim to Aurelius." Tetsunosuke's words had authority to them, he knew the Tomomi probably wouldn't agree with his statement about the humans, but if they were to die along with several Captains and Tomomi, here and now, then Gotei 13 would be in a very bad situation. He knew that he had to take authority of this situation some way. "Gobantai-Taicho, Jūnibantai-Sanseki... thank you." He said softly as they did rescue his Captain. "Now... let's keep our head's on our shoulders and think of a plan and wait for back up. No more recklessness, if another order is disobeyed, I will strike you down myself." Tetsu was very honest about this.

A pair of arced Japanese sliding doors appeared just on the other side of Hei, ushering forward a bright white light. A dark silhouette appeared within, greatly contrasting the background. The Senkaimon's doors slid shut, behind Yuki, trapping their light behind them, though still some shone through the small openings near the top. As the doors faded, Yuki became more clear. She was dressed in her normal uniform, actually everything about her was normal for the moment, save the fact that she had each hand in the opposite sleeve, such that he arms were folded and her sleeves touched near the middle of her body. What was more was that she had her eyes closed and retained a calm, serene expression, despite the destruction of this city. Her serenity was broken when her eyes snapped open and she lid her arms from her sleeves, dropping them to her side.

She vanished, appearing in the middle of the Shinigami that were standing around and held both of her hands out, pointing one at a side of the building each. She had her middle finger rested in the crook of her thumb as though she were preparing to flick the air. "Bankai. Hadō no Goju Hachi: Tenran; Atsugai." She flicked both of her fingers and created two bursts of pressurized air that widened as they traveled away from her hands. Both Tenran erupted simultaneously, fusing with her Atsugai and greatly augmenting it's strength. The pressurize air would strike the buildings and blow them apart, knocking the debris far away, sending it several thousand feet away. Lowering her left hand, she kept her right extended and knelt down next to Tomomi, wordlessly casting Zenji to bring about a complete recovery for the man.

Beneath the sleeve of her right arm were the right-angled markings needed for Tenteikūra: she had drawn them before hand. "Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens. Bakudō Nana Ju Nana: Tenteikūra." She spoke softly, so her voice wouldn't carry over to Aurelius. Bringing her right hand up, a glowing, outlined square appeared in space just half a foot from her palm. Many glowing, Reiryoku-based root-like branches extended from the square as Yuki mentally linked herself into the minds of the Shinigami present.

Dropping her hand, Yuki stood perfectly still, watching Aurelius as she conveyed her psychic message, delivering it without a hint of unease or distress in her voice. "Good day, Shinigami of the Gotei 13. Listen, and listen well. I bear a message from Hei. He has concocted a battle plan while watching through surveillance bacteria. No, I should say that he figured this out after factoring in all of your individual abilities long before this battle was conceived. I will explain this once and only once, so commit it to your memory. Now; if you have not released, please do so now and then find a method to bind your Zapakutō to your belt. Tomomi-Sōtaichō, release your Reiatsu and focus the cold air into a sphere around the boy about seven feet out. Elisia-fukutaichō put yourself next to Akiri-taicho and shield yourselves with a spherical Bankai-level barrier, focus on it, it must not break. Akiri-taichō, once this is done, release your Reiatsu and focus the heat into a sphere inside the sphere created by Tomomi, but do not allow them to touch, do not lose focus no matter what happens. The passage of light from cold to hot air will distort the air around him, giving cover for the rest of our plan. Hibiki-taichō, move closer to Lee-taichō and Nu-taichō and create a cyclone around yourself and them to serve as a voice muffler.

Lee-taichō, Nu-taichō, once the cyclone has been erected, cast Kuyo Shibari on Aurelius, both of you use it twice and layer them over each other to create a 36 point star around his body, where the 4 middle holes are centered on his chest. We can't afford to take any chances, so use it and use it quickly, Aurelius won't be able to counter it on the grounds that it is not a projectile Kido. Tetsunosuke-fukutaicho, use burrowing bugs and have them transport the containers Hei gave you to the area beneath the boy and bury them in the ground, but not too deep, leave half an inch between the top of the container and the ground. Arrange them in a perfect circle with a single one in the dead center of the circle. Tomomi, I have a final message from Hei; "You were right, I have made many mistakes, allow me to correct them. Hold your ground for three more minutes and I'll put this baby to rest." " Then her connection was broken, and she went silent as she awaited the Shinigami to follow orders.



[So basically now, it all boils down to timing. This was set up by Taigaa such that those involved do their best to post in the order mentioned. The others may feel free to support, but not get in the way. 3nodding Message Taigaa with any questions.]

Hibiki listened to Tetsunosuke as the Lieutenant reminded him of Tsukiko's 'unique' physiology. He agreed that it probably wouldn't affect her, not in any way beneficial probably "Now, now, I doubt we have to resort to that." he spoke, jokingly perhaps as the thought of resorting to such a loss was unacceptable to him. His attention was then caught as Aurelius ripped another building from its foundation and used it to attack them, he was toying with them at this point, making them use up their energy. Hibiki was about to take care of it, since it was all his Bankai was good for, but was beaten to it by a new arrival, Hakase Yuki. He looked up towards her as she effortlessly destroyed the buildings with her Bankai, he recognized the Bakudo she was using and waited for the telepathic transmission to begin, meanwhile re went back to waiting for Aurelius to make some kind of move, again. He listened closely to their plan, especially his part as he didn't want to screw up, not at this crucial a stage. Once the connection was broken he looked behind him towards his 3rd Seat "Well, back to work I guess. Tadashi, you take care of the others while we carry out the 12th Squad Captain's plan." he then moved towards Captains Lee and Nu, a bit calmer and reasonable than before "Captain Lee, I apologize for my rudeness towards you earlier. Shall we start with our part then?" he gave his Shikai a twirl, as he prepared to released his Bankai for a second time during the battle.

With a quick jerk of his arm, he brought his Shikai in front of him "Bankai." the shuriken's four blades once again extended into a large uniform cross-like pattern, before beginning to spin at an increasing speed. He hurried the process along as his purpose this time was not to deal damage to the opponent but to provide cover for his teammates. Soon enough, the bladed wings appeared and his Bankai reached completion, manifesting itself as its default Fujin form. The six cyclones spun around him before Hibiki concentrated their center rings into one area, creating a singular cyclone of immense speed and power. "This should about do it. Even if you shout from inside this, I doubt your voices could be comprehended from outside." regardless he put more spin into the rotating central blade, just to be sure his part was played out without flaw, he then gave a nod to Nu and Lee signalling that they could begin whenever they were ready.

[Edited]

Lee watched Tsukiko plummet to the ground a little sadly wishing it hadn't been necessary to do that to the girl and figuring touching her would be quite dangerous at the moment. She was likely to still have a current on her skin or at the very least ready to be discharged out of her body. Giving Tetsunosuke a slightly amused look as the boy decided to try and use some authority to get everyone to 'play nice' and follow orders so to speak. At the thank you Lee simply rolled his eyes clearing his throat in the process and lowering his voice. "Don't be an idiot. If I was to let Sotaicho-san die after all this then everything up to this point would have been pointless. Therefore I need no thank yous and I would keep my threats to yourself Fukutaicho not everyone is as dismissive of such things as I am." Lee was simply speaking about the fact that the little threat at the end could not prove to have the desired effect if Tetsunosuke wasn't careful. Listening to Aurelius Lee stood still taking in every little detail no matter how small and sighing at the end of his little speech. Deciding to respond to the boy through a quiet tone he spoke up barely audible to the boy and those around him.

"You would do well to remember that while we may appear so not all of us are so weak. I do not see why if you have the power to erase you can't simply create more Hollows to inhabit Hueco Mundo. We could even stop killing what little ones show up for the time being in order for more to be created. I understand your power just fine and may not know the full extent of your power but I have a close enough idea. As you say we may not have a defense against such things but until now there has been no need for such things. With time we will likely develop ways to protect against things such as that. I do not deny it was our own power that did most of this damage despite not having been here. I expected as much from you and therefore have to wonder what would happen if someone was able to do the same to you? Still if talking will do no good then we will have no choice but to continue to fight I am afraid."

Lee had not missed how Aurelius had looked down at Eriko making him curious as to why he had looked down at her exactly. Had an attack of hers been used to cause the initial damage that was clearly visible on some of the Shinigami? Preparing to do something to destroy the buildings Aurelius had used yet again it proved futile as Yuki arrived. She quickly disposed of the buildings and then cast Tenteikūra and began conversing with with them all mentally to avoid being overheard he assumed. Listening to the entire plan Lee couldn't help but see the brilliance in the plan and was more than ready to do his part if only to finish this little battle for the time being. Holding his left hand out to the side his Zanpakuto slowly materialized inside a square barrier before his hand grasped the sheathe. Bringing his right hand over he took hold of the hilt and slowly pulled it out of the sheath holding it at his side.

"Bankai." The word spoken was slightly determined yet on the quiet side as he closed his eyes his blade transforming in a flash of light. Next he proceeded to bind his blade to his belt then let his hands fall down to his side. "Not even so much as thanks.." The words were in response to Tomomi giving the Commander a slightly amused look before returning his gaze to the boy. Hibiki arriving was expected if the plan was going to have any kind of chance and therefore him speaking was also expected because of their exchange moments ago. "Think nothing of it Hibiki-taicho. I will admit my words were specifically spoken to get a rise out of you in order to sell my little display. Though I won't say I don't believe they were all true the words spoken directly to you and about you were false. You did a great job keeping the children alive long enough to put this plan into effect. I still do believe it is inevitable that their plan will succeed now or in the future though. Just my belief is all. Well Nu-taicho it is good to see you more or less unharmed." Waiting for Hibiki to do his part it wasn't long before they were surrounded in a cyclone to totally muffle their voices to the outside. "Okay nice job now lets take care of the kid for the time being. I trust you are capable Nu-taicho. Kuyō Shibari. Kuyō Shibari." Using two as instructed he layered both one on top of each other and made his two were layered as instructed to construct half the star. "Your turn." Now his mind turned to Eriko as Lee had the strong urge to make sure she was alright fighting it for the time being. There would be time for such things later. Hopefully....

Tadashi watched the other Captains execute the plan that the seemingly brilliant Squad 12 Captain had formulated. He was helping Eriko strenghten the protective barrier.

"Kind of makes me wish I was a bit stronger so I could be in on it," he mused aloud. Only Eriko heard him, as she was nearby.
