764  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Primera Espada
Upon contact with Akusana's Danku, Zenos' exceptionally powerful Cero shattered the Kido apart on contact, allowing tiny fragments of remaining dull grey Reiryoku to flow through the gaps made and continue on towards Nanashi's head. Of course, these would do little but cause small burns to his skin. However, these pieces were stopped by Zetsumei's shield of bone, which summoned suppressed amusement at their teamwork. Either Zetsumei had no faith in Akusana's Kido, or he was blind to it. Whatever the reason, Zenos lowered his finger and pocketed his hand now that he had failed. Since it was not his primary objective to blow his head off, he had no reason to relentlessly pursue the goal, even if he could take care of those bones if he decided on it. Zenos glanced to the side, towards Yukimura and Ashley, as he heard Ashley take a breath- so he hadn't killed her after all. She had a surprisingly large life-force to stay alive after taking all of those wounds. For a few seconds, he remained irritated that he had been outwitted by her, but that feeling quickly disappeared when he reassured himself that it mattered very little. The fact remained that he could have killed her if he had just hit her again, and there was no disputing that, so it was not a slander against his power. As bone erupted from the ground around his feet, he played it off with little concern, simply admiring their appearance for a second or two before he sensed something else was coming, prompting him to lower himself and launch himself into the air with nothing more than a jump.
At the height of his jump, Zenos used a rapid Sonido towards the ground, landing several feet in front of Nobu as he continued barreling towards him with little regard for his own life. Zenos' strength added to gravity and the momentum of his Sonido caused the ground to quite literally explode as he made contact with it, upsetting the structure of the bones Zetsumei had conjured to keep Nobu out of harm's way, and causing them to topple to the side. At roughly the same time, Nobu would also be tossed backward into the air with the force of the explosion beneath his feet, launching him just past Akusana's Sho- yet another attempt to save Nobu. It was almost disgusting the way they constantly tried to save each other. If you pulled something like that in the Espada, you would only get laughed at. As Nobu was pushed into the air, Zenos promptly vanished, reappearing just above him, nearly parallel to the ground as he seemingly flew in an arc over Nobu's head. Zenos opened his mouth the second he made his appearance, and in an instant, far faster than before, he charged and released a Cero right at his head and landed on the ground behind him while turning his gaze to Akusana, making it appear like the Captain was his next target.
This turned out to be little more than a feint, or it least that's how it would appear when Zenos solidly appeared to Zetsumei's right, nearly standing shoulder to shoulder with the the Shinigami. Or at least he would have been if not for the eleven inch difference in their heights. Zenos remained perfectly silent as he stood still, seemingly admiring the scenery behind Zetsumei, then he was gone again. But he did not retreat, instead arriving at a place just in front of the Captain as his stared him down, emotion devoid from his expression. Within his left pocket, there came the sound of snapping fingers and there was a sudden expanse of darkness at his left outer thigh as a garganta formed there, but somehow within the pocket itself. Should one be able to see inside his pocket through some sort of x-ray vision, they'd see that his hand was gone from the wrist down, and it's location would be made apparent as Zenos' gaze, which had been transfixed on the scenery behind Zetsumei just as he had arrived, fell down to meet Zetsumei's own eyes. A second Garganta would in turn open up just to Zetsumei's right, launching a Cero from it's depths before snapping shut. This was not the end of his assault- that had actually been a test. Zenos stepped forward and used Sonido to appear directly in front of the Captain in much closer proximity this time, and shifted his weight onto one foot and whipped his other towards his stomach to deliver a bone breaking blow. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄[Eww, short. Edit: Changed Arian to Zetsumei... yeah I copied that cero thing from another post. Too lazy to rewrite it. sweatdrop ]

Captain of Squad Five
Akusuna's kido seemed to do little but slow down the Espada, but that was all that he needed to do. The man had already made his next move, making an attack on the contestant. Someone had created a bone cage to protect him, which the Espada effortlessly smashed. After watching the man fight, Akusuna could see how this man was able to kill two captains. However, that couldn't stop Akusuna from trying to protect him.
As the Espada moved to kill the Contestant, Akusuna once more threw a kido. "Bakudo 81: Danku!" he cast, doubling it's strength this time with more concentration. The blast was intense, and the kido was destroyed, but it prevented the cero from reaching Nobu. As the young shinigami fell, Akusuna let his arm drop and took a deep breath. So many kido in such a short time would easily tire one out, especially with how fast Akusuna had to react to that last attack. Truthfully, he had intended to use it to protect himself, but the Espada's change in target forced Akusuna to use the spell on the young man instead.
The Espada had landed on the ground, throwing a threatening glance at Akusuna before disappearing to deal with the Twelfth Squad Captain. Turning to watch the battle, Akusuna began preparing a number of bakudo and hado, planning on casting them simultaneously. It was a powerful attack, but required time to set up. Thankfully, the other Captain appeared to have the Espada's attention.
A cough to his side caught Akusuna's attention. He glanced over to see the Fourth Squad Captain coughing, then lying still once more. Even with such an injury, she was still alive. There wasn't enough time to move her, but, thankfully, there was already a Fourth Squad member on the field.
"Unohana! Save your Captain!" Akusuna yelled at the other contestant, who was being pushed out by one of the other Shinigami. With hope, she would see that the Captain was still alive and do something about it. In the meantime, Akusuna needed to finish preparing his spells before it was too late...

Z E T S U M E I XXXXXXXXXXXⅫ Junibantai Taichou " Science is just a cemetery of ideas, and doesn't know it's debts to imagination... " ┄⊰ As Zetsumei predicted, Akasuna's Kido didn't deflect the entire cero, a good call by the Taichou of Squad Five, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, his attempts to protect Nobu failed, but alas, it was still the Shinigami's own fault to let his emotions get the best of him. As Zenos appeared to his right, he stayed in his place looking forward. The small amount of time they were standing next to each other seemed like hours, and all Zetsumei could do was slant his eyes a little and grin keeping his gaze forward. Then the Primera was in front of him, his gaze still didn't move, considering the Primera appeared in the way of his eyes. Just as the Garganta opened up right next to him with a cero firing at him, Zetsumei grabbed the handle of his zanpakutou and started to block the cero. He held it fairly well until the ground started to crumble under his feet, noticing this instantly he tilted the blade of his zanpakutou at a forty five degree angle and directed the cero up into the sky.
The Primera appeared in front of him again and launched a powerful kick to his stomach. Stabbing his zanpakutou back into it's sheath Zetsumei leaped up just enough to miss Zenos' foot by a couple inches and threw a roundhouse kick towards the Primera's head while still in the air. Throwing his feet down right after to meet the ground sooner, Zetsumei opened his hand into a flat palm, and would throw it forward at an alarming speed. When or if his hand makes contact with the Primera's chest or anything else, bone would rip out of his palm to either pierce into what he makes contact with, or launch it back pretty far. Whether or not anything worked Zetsumei was just messing around with the Primera so that he could possibly learn more about him, for now, he'll just have to make sure either he doesn't make a mistake or get anyone else killed, cause he'd get chewed out later if he did. In a quick glance to Ashley-Taichou, he couldn't see yet if she was showing any signs of still being alive, she better be...
( Well I certainly hate how short this is, but I can't remember anything I was going to type before :/ )

XA S H L E Y ★__________________XXXXXXXX - " I've touched the cold, dark fingers of 𝕯𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖍... "┏━━━━━━━━━┓
► | こうきょ - じょしん| ◄
┗━━━━━━━━━┛ " So fragile yet so 𝖉𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖔𝖚𝖘 "XXXXXXXX_______________________XXXXXXXX ☠→→⋯ The darkness was overcoming her again, this is not the first time she's been this close to dieing. One time before when she was a small child, after witnessing her father being murdered and beaten into mush in front of her. She felt tapping on her cheek, her eyes twitched a little bit and one opened slowly. She saw a woman, she looked so familiar, and Ashley was laying in a small room composed of just the bed she was in. Sitting up slowly and holding her head from the headache she was suffering from, she looked to her right the woman was smiling at her, speaking, but Ashley couldn't fully understand what she was saying. Then it dawned on her who this woman was, it was her mother. The very thought made her eyes widen, but her vision was still messed up. In the next moment someone opened the door that led to her room, it was a man in a white haori. It was hard to recognize who it was exactly because her vision was so blurry for some reason but the man looked like he was the previous Taichou before her? Anyways, he started speaking but just like when her mother spoke, she couldn't understand anything. Wincing Ashley suddenly grabbed the side of her head, it felt like something was hitting her, not very hard, but in her dream it felt like she was getting hit with bats.
"Wake up..." The voice echoed in her head many times, before a bright light hit her in the eyes. One of them opened slowly and she started to feel all of the pain from before again. Her empty eyes slowly gazed over to Yukimura Taichou, who was putting pressure on her large wound on her abdomen. "Where's Nanash..." She could barely speak, and her words turned into mumbles before she let out a few loud coughs that let out more blood to run down her cheeks and mix with the black tears, together they made her easily look dead. She heard fighting in the background, and that's when she realized she was in the Seireitei where the Main Event of the festival was taking place. How did she get here? Did someone come and save her? Those were questions she could ask later, right now she had to concentrate on surviving. Death wasn't going to reach her today, she wouldn't allow it, and especially not by an arrancar. Speaking of which, was that who they were fighting?
Ashley heard faintly a Taichou ordering Unohana to help her, one thing she didn't want was to have her squad seeing her vulnerable like this. Her eyes closed again and her body started to shut down quickly, this was something her body did so that it can recover on it's own without the mind being able to move it any further thus making the body take longer to recover. Though it would seem Ashley was slowly passing away as she went limp, but it was like she was paralyzed all over her body except she could still talk and see. It wasn't like her body did this uncontrollably, Ashley can do so anytime she wanted, but there was hardly any times where she actually had to. All she could do was look up at the sky and over at Yukimura Taichou, who was a Taichou she saw little of, but she was happy to see him. Even Zetsumei would be a sight for sore eyes even though he was always trying to experiment on her. "What's... happening..?" She said managing to get the two words out, you could tell she was having trouble speaking with the wound she had and all of the other damage she's suffered.

 ✿ Unohana Retsu ✿ - 4th Seat Of Yonbantai - Though ready to fight, the instant the sound ripped into her ears, Unohana could do but little more than looked puzzled and worried, the sight of an arrancar could only ever spell trouble, and she knew this all to well. The man dragged in with him two bodies, one, she instantly knew to be her Captain, the other, she knew was Nanashi of squad ten, the horrified expression on her fair face was something of a shock, she rarely looked so distressed. There was nothing she could do given her current situation, she'd stand no chance trying to retreive her captain from this man as it were, and whats more, she could sense the overwhelming power from him by the fact that she could sense nothing, even his movements were quite. She saw him attack Shizuka's lower seat, wishing she could rush in and help, when her Captain was rescued from the man, she knew that Ashely was in a grave state worse, so ran quickly to her side.
Bending down, Unohana placed her hand on Ashely's forehead, by the look, she had been through a fate worse than death, and she wondered if she'd have the ability to save her now this far gone, stumbling for a moment, she stood then, addressing Yukimura. "Keep your distance." Unsheathing her sword, she released Minazuki. "Iyasu, Minazuki." At once her sword blew away into a green smoke, before fully transforming into a large one eyed manta-ray. The creature stood there and looked an Unohana for a moment. "I wont let you die, Taichou." Tears came to her eyes however, though speaking confidently, she was thinking of the worse case scenario at this point, she would die, and she would have been unable to save her. "Kyou!" A gentle beam of green light appeared from Minazuki's eye, hovering over Ashely, it stopped the seriousness of her injuries for the time being, replacing lost blood and internal organs that had been damaged with temporary ones, along with healing her at an extremely slow rate. "Shuuzen!" Ashely was surrounded by a blue smoke emitted from Minazuki's mouth, eventually creating a bubble around her, aiding in the healing process, comforting any pains that she might be having and completely eliminating fatigue/tiredness. "My apologizes, taichou, with your state, I cannot move you, until you have healed a small amount more, this is all I can do, I will get you out of here as soon as I can." Unohana turned to the battle, she cringed at Zenos.

 ☀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 looked down at Ashley willing her to breath. Sure she had a faint pulse but she wasn't breathing. Sighing he prepared to do CPR when suddenly she began breathing again. Returning pressure to her wound to slow the bleeding Yukimura was increasingly becoming aware that perhaps he might have to attempt to heal her. However slowly her eyes opened and fell on him. He gave Ashley a stare back not breaking eye contact with her as she asked her question. The sadness creeping into his gaze for a moment. "He is over there. It doesn't look good. I haven't got around to checking him for a pulse but I don't have much hope." Looking back at the battle for a minute he returns his gaze to her. "Then again you don't look too hot yourself. And you are at least alive. So maybe a little hope is in order." Seeing the blood and tears on her face Yukimura ripped a clean piece of his haori off and carefully wiped her face clean as best he could. After a moment or two of silence as realization appeared on Ashley's face Yukimura sighed. "Sorry. What....happened? Actually on second thought. It's probably best you don't do much talking. I certainly can't be confused with a doctor but..."
Ending right there as one of the other Captain's called for one of Ashley's division members to come take care of healing her. Yukimura knew he wouldn't want one of his division members to see him like that however there wasn't much that could be done. Her body went limb and Yukimura thought she might perhaps be passing on until her eyes continued moving. At her question Yukimura sighed. "The Arrancar. Well who am I kidding? Espada. Showed up out of nowhere during the games dragging yours and Nanashi-taicho's limp bodies. The worst was feared and as the Espada attacked a third seat he returned and knocked your body aside. I retrieved you to make sure you were really dead and the battle still rages behind me." Moving aside for Unohana to take over Yukimura stood up and after a moment unsheathed his zanpakuto holding it down at his side and giving them the privacy they might need. He wasn't about to leave them undefended however in case Zenos decided to finish the job. At mention of moving her Yukimura cleared his throat. "I am not sure moving her at all would be a good idea. The Espada is preoccupied yes however if he decides he doesn't want you leaving with her well. Then we will have two healers out of commission."
(Not sure what else to type. -_-)
---------------------------------------------------"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."

550 ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Primera Espada
Missing his target did not cause Zenos to lose face- it's not as though he was using his top speed for anything other than Sonido at the moment. He humbly accepted Zetsumei's evasion, and he shifted his gaze to watch the terribly slow Zetsumei follow up with a kick to his face, which he did not bother to dodge, given that Zenos was significantly more powerful than he was and he had his own very dense Hierro backing him up. As such, when it connected with his head, he budged a little, but not by much, and when Zetsumei would move his foot, he would see that Zenos' face was devoid of any emotion in response to the kick. In the gap of time between the kick to his face and Zetsumei's next move, Zenos' uprighted himself and watched silently at yet another sluggish move by Zetsumei, at least to him. As the palm hit his chest, the bone erupted from Zetsumei's hand and skewered him through the sternum and the heart in rapid succession, prompting him to cough up blood with an expressionless face. Then he blew up in a puff of smoke.
In reality, by the time Zenos had missed kicking Zetsumei in the stomach, he was already gone from his current location, leaving behind an after image courtesy of Gemelos Sonido. Naturally, just like any other after image by Gemelos Sonido, this one was real enough to bleed. In fact, this was the only reason the bone had gone completely through his body. Had it been Zenos' actual body standing there, the bone would have gone through a bit of his Hierro and left a cut in his skin about a quarter of an inch deep. He didn't have the highest defense for nothing. Truth be told, he didn't feel like hanging around an opponent who wasn't going to take him seriously after he brought back one dead captain and one on the brink of death- it just wasn't amusing to be taken lightly. He liked serious fights, and he had over 900 years of combat experience to tell him that Zetsumei was not using his full power against him. For this reason, he was calmly walking towards Akusuna while Zetsumei was busy kicking his after image in the head, though he was quite a ways away from the 5th Division Captain. Having his back turned so easily to the 12th Division Captain was meant to be an insult, a clue to what Zenos thought of him at the time. Of course, Zenos had only presented this to him, he certainly didn't expect him to care what he thought, nor did he care if he cared. While the Akusuna had his attention on someone he had called Unohana, Zenos was just stepping to his right, exiting from his teleport-like Sonido. On the instant of his appearance, his left arm vanished in a blur and moved to stab Akusuna right though the right lung with a flattened hand. His hand-stab was almost creepy how casually he performed it, as he had thrusted his hand towards his chest like it was as normal as breathing. Akusuna would be his next opponent, and hopefully the Captain would take him seriously, or he might just kill this one right off the bat. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄

Eight Division Captain
============================================Yukito Shun============================================
It is through skill that we fightArriving at the scene of battle, Yukito’s eyes immediately darted towards the bodies of Ashley and Nanashi, both of which he could now identify. The anger that this scene created in him was nothing to scoff at, however, his expression remain placid, save for some wrinkles appearing on his brow. Two Captains were now lying on the floor, most likely dead, but tending to that that would be the job of Division 4, or whoever else was experienced in medical practices. This was no time to panic; rather, calmness of mind was important to them not only surviving this conflict, but to win it.
They all had a job, a duty, and to Yukito, his was clear. A handful of Captains had already made attacks to Zenos, while the others were divided between taking care of the injured, a wise decision. As the Shinigami launched their attacks, and as Zenos dodged them with ease, Yukito made a relative gauge of his abilities. Wordlessly entering into Shikai, which was possible as he had mastered Bankai, Yukito allowed the wolf to hide, which was quite easy for it because of its mist-like properties. And even if Zenos were to do a scan of the area, their reiatsu signatures, at such close proximities to each other, would allow them to meld into one single spiritual entity on Zenos’ radar.
As Zenos’ Gemelos Sonido disappeared, Yukito dashed into the fray. If the man’s ferocity was any clue, he most likely wouldn’t stop attacking just yet. True enough, as Zenos reappeared dangerously close to Akusuna, Yukito was close enough to intercept it, disappearing with a Shunpo to appear just behind him. He didn’t doubt the man’s ability to sense him coming, and was prepared for a counter-attack or an evasive maneuver. But he knew that anyone would have a difficulty defending from two or three attacks, which was what he was planning, hoping that the others would attack him in unison. In a flash, Yukito brought his sword down into Zenos’ right shoulder, as since his left side was preoccupied, preoccupying his right side would only make him much more vulnerable to an attack. The attack was precise, in that if Zenos were to disappear from his place, Akusana was in no danger of friendly fire from Yukito.It is through unity that we win

Captain of Squad Five
It seemed that the Twelfth Squad's Captain no longer entertained the Espada, as he moved towards Akusuna now. In all of his observing, Akusuna noted that the man had constantly dodging the attacks, but not blocking. Obviously, speed was his greatest strength, but that still left the question of why he didn't block. The only guess Akusuna could come up with was that the man wasn't as enduring as he appeared, though it was still too little to know for sure.
Akusuna saw the Espada disappear, meaning he was going to attack Akusuna's side, just like he did with the Twelfth Squad Captain. Twisting, Akusuna saw his enemy just in time to see his hand blur. There was little Akusuna could do to block it, but he kicked back anyway, lessening the blow to a powerful punch from it's dangerous jab. The blow threw Akusuna back through the air, knocking him off his feet temporarily. Behind the Arrancar, Akusuna saw another Captain appear and attack, thankfully, giving him just enough time to finish casting.
"Bakudo 63: Sajo Sabaku!" Akusuna cast at the Arrancar. It was a mere binding, but a powerful one at that. Even more, having just attacked, Akusuna knew there couldn't be enough time for the Arrancar to dodge. However, the casting wouldn't stop there.
"Bakudo 61: Rikujōkōrō, Bakudo 9: Horin!" Akusuna added, throwing two more powerful bindings. Even if one wasn't enough, Akusuna hoped they would slow the Arrancar down for one to connect. Holding the other end of his last cast, Akusuna brought his other hand to the rope and cast, "Hado 88: Hiryugekizokushintenraiho!"
Sending the energy down the rope, the spell should have hit the Arrancar at near point blank range. With hope, Akusuna would find out just how good this man's defense really was. Akusuna landed and climbed to his feet. Just in case the spells missed, or worse, the Arrancar remained standing, he drew his Zanpakutou and waited for the smoke to clear.

741 ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Primera Espada
Withdrawing his hand after it struck the 5th Division Captain's chest and created a cut in his skin from the minimal contact it was allowed, Zenos casually reached over his shoulder and caught the 8th Division's blade before it struck his shoulder. He could not have been louder if he had tried, and it just made things easier for Zenos. Zenos spared him a small glance out of the corner of his eye as he heard the first part of the Kidō that were to be used against him. Because his right arm was already in the air, the Sajo Sabaku only managed to bind his left arm to his side, which was of little consequence to him. Already privy to Akusuna's intentions by this time, the Primera took to stomping on the ground just before the second Bakudo was going to come for him, sending up rubble into the air, which took the Rikujōkōrō's beams before they could strike him. Of course, Yukito would take one in the back given his close proximity- unless he moved, which was unlikely considering he had yet to release the blade he was holding. In the midst of the flying debris, a energy rope came flying towards Zenos, which he ignored while getting a better hold on Yukito' blade, then administering strength to it to lift both the blade and Yukito into the air, where he would then hurl the Captain towards Akusuna just as the Hadō would strike Zenos.
After the Hadō ran through the Horin and struck Zenos' body, it created a culminating explosion that was moderate in its own right. The force and presence of Reiryoku allowed the Sajo Sabaku to break apart, freeing Zenos who emerged from the cloud without a scratch on his body. Had he taken damage and regenerated it, or had he avoided damage altogether? That would not be something they ever discovered. His clothes were worse for the wear, to an extent, being torn in a few places which was enough to irritate him considering he just changed. Step after step, Zenos walked away from the explosion, approaching the two casually. He lifted a finger, and shot a Cero in an obscure direction, right towards Yukito's mist-wolf which he had found easily with Pesquisa. Their similar signatures meant nothing to the delicate sonar-like properties of his Pesquisa. The Cero was not meant to harm, only to make a point that he knew something was out there. As he casually approached them, he extended a hand and tapped the empty air, prompting several dozen Garganta to rip open across the area, displaying to all that cared to watch exactly how Zenos had ended Nanashi and fatally wounded Ashley, through special screens within them. Now, allowing them something to watch, he finally released the seal on his Reiatsu and allowed it to descend from the skies, crushing those who stood no chance against him, and heavily hindering those who might have a shot. Fear was a primary response from those who had never felt the staggering power of the Reiatsu of the Primera Espada. Fear and Hopelessness. If that weren't bad enough, his Reiryoku filled the air like a thick dust, spreading all over to choke and gag all of those within the area.
Finally, because he was bored enough, he released his Resurrección without drawing his dagger, but oddly enough abstained from using any of his Resurrección techniques, only taking advantage of the two Cero he was given access too. With the silver, almost metallic Reiryoku gathered around his body, the dull grey Reiryoku that congealed there was perfectly hidden, even as it shot into the ground. Zenos lifted a finger and pointed it at Yukito and Akusuna, gathering dull-grey Reiryoku at the tip like he was preparing a Gran Rey Cero, but then he flicked his finger upwards as the Reiryoku vanished, summoning something worse than a Gran Rey. From the ground beneath their feet, a massive pillar of Reiryoku erupted, shooting skywards as it buffeted them with its intense power, also throwing dirt and lingering rocks in the ground up at them as well to add to their damage. It was nothing to be trifled with, as it was more powerful than a Gran Rey Cero, and he had made it quite wide to prevent them from scurrying away like frightened children, and expect to escape the blast radius. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄[Already talked to Dante about the toss, he said it’s cool. Also, SCPX, it's cool that he jumped back, but with a stab like that; it wouldn't turn into blunt-force. It would remain a stab, just shallower. I went with it, but he would have a small cut on his chest from Zenos' nails.]

(That's fine. I thought you were hitting him with the palm of your hand and not the fingers. I don't mind a cut, as long as my insides aren't blown out. smile ) Captain of Squad Five
Akusuna caught the other Captain and stumbled back from the throw. As the smoke cleared, he could see that the Espada had hardly been hurt at all, even though his clothes showed that he had still been hit. As the Espada approached, revealing the other Captain's trick, Akusuna could see that even the two of them had little they could do. The other Captains were needed, and all the lower-class Shinigami were just in the way. Akusuna helped the other Captain onto his feet and spoke quietly to him.
"I can hold him off temporarily. You must get the other Captains and get the younger ones out of the way." Akusuna said, knowing that this meant he would be in a high risk. "Please, hurry, as we have little time."
The Espada had started showing his battle with the other two Captains through his Garganta, probably with the intent to anger the others. However, Akusuna took the time to prepare once more and analyze the Espada's fighting techniques. When the Espada's reiatsu spiked though, he knew it was for the worse. As the Espada pointed at the two of them and started charging a cero, Akusuna did the first thing he could think of and pushed the Eighth Division Captain away. Gripping his Zanpakutou, Akusuna yelled, "Bankai!" right as the world around him exploded in a massive pillar of energy.
As the dust settled, Akusuna remained standing, burned in spots, but otherwise alright. His Zanpakutou had changed into it's rapier form, but the most noticeable feature was how Akusuna was slightly transparent now; a sign of his lack of existence in this plane. The switch had happened just in time, saving his life, but not soon enough to prevent a little damage.
Solidifying again, Akusuna put his sword in front of him, aiming at the Espada's head. He only wanted to know one thing before they started their fight. "What is your name, Espada?" he asked, while praying the others would return in time.
Akusuna Myori

That was her job done and hopefully safely. Since she had a feeling, or most likely, realized from the others’ attempts to attack Zenos, that her Shikai would not be helpful in this situation, she quietly murmured, “Bankai. Tekateka Getsuei, Gengetsu.” She had skipped immediately to her second form, needing some form of attack/defence if she was going to have to deal with this Primera Espada and she knew that while it was her weakest, it would also inconvenience Zenos himself if he attacked her immediately. A massive scythe was in her hands and she delicately held it, making sure that it would not hurt anyone else around. Yet, she knew that she had to be careful in a situation like this because she could not take too many wounds or else, she’d end up killing herself instead of hindering Zenos. This was a terrible situation to be in anyway, since out of the thirteen Captains, one had been killed, one was barely alive and one was taking care of Ashley. That meant they still had a force of ten, but unfortunately, this person seemed strong. Adjusting Linuen’s position on her shoulder, she realized the fact that she needed to help the others in their fight and she would not be able to do that with her Third Seat on her back.
Making a hurried decision, she shunpo’ed next to Yukimura, Ashley and Unohana, before carefully laying Linuen next to Ashley. She looked up at them with fierce eyes, a silent sign that she was entrusting them with the safety of one of her Squad members, before she moistened her lips and whispered, “Please look after him, I cannot lose a member. I am going to assist with the fighting so please, please, please make sure he is alright.” Her voice cracked on her last please, but she knew that she needed to be in the fight before anything else happened. With a firm nod to them, she shunpo’ed away again, but was halted briefly by the sudden release of Zenos’ full power. She gritted her teeth together in a bid to force herself not to scream aloud and instead, unable to reach Akusana in time, she grabbed Yukito and hurriedly shifted herself as well as him to her alternate dimension, where neither the attack nor the Reiatsu would affect them. Waiting for a few seconds as the attack faded, she then swiftly merged back into the real world, dragging Yukito with her so that they appeared in the same spot they had been in before. “Sorry about that,” she apologized in a few words, knowing that he might be a little confused as to her grabbing him and the sudden shifts from one dimension to the next as she released her hold on him. Hearing the end of Akusuna’s question, she forcibly entered Zenos’ mind, her mind reeling for a split-second by the sheer amount of information contained within it. She made a hurried exit, remembering the fact that she could find herself lost in the mind if she wasn’t carefully, but not before she found out several important pieces of information that might be needed as well as his name. Tightening her grip on her zanpakuto just in case he would decide to attack immediately, she replied to Akusuna’s question in a clear voice, while she fixated her gaze on him.
“Zenos. Zenos Athanasius is his full name. Aren't I right, Primera Espada?”

 [Nanabantai Fukutaichou]
- Sujoo Nagai - Sujoo, who until this time, had been completely inebriated back at his office, woke up to hear a scurry of screams rushing into Seireitei, he was, of course, immediately alarmed and rushed, or staggered, to his window to see what the commotion, he was amazed at the amount of people flooding into Seireitei, more, the area, Rukongai residents here? Something serious must have happened. He could barely feel heightened Reiatsu's coming in the direction in which the festival was being held, though, he also knew he was supposed to be there, but he was taking a day off, he wondered if he his captain was wondering if he was working. Placing his thoughts in order, he tidied himself, grabbing his sword and securing it tightly in his obi, he cracked his neck and then went for the door, it was then that Sujoo's mind was completely cut off, he went dead as a zombie and fell to the floor. In his mind he saw only blackness, he was standing in it, thick with fear and wonder. "Wha-What is going on?" It was then that Sujoo heard a voice, a rather pacuilar one, calling out to him, it wasn't clear at first, but it continued and soon rang to him as clear as a silver bell, Sujoo, unsuspecting and slightly weakened in mind, gave in, not able to put up a fight against the inhuman powers that were now working on him.
As he blinked twice, he stood, eyes as black and deadly as the night, his posture and functionality was perfect now. "Of course, at once." The voice inside his head told him a command, and, he sprung into action, leaving his office, and entering into the chaos that awaited him but a foot away. Once outside, people ran past him screaming and trampling others. He hadn't bothered with them until a woman got in his way, he quickly drew his sword and slashed her quickly down the chest and into her abdomen, killing her almost instantly, this, of course, only added to the cries and shouts, now people running in a new direction. A man came in his way this time, he stuck his sword through the mans gut and literally ripped him in half. Moving onward, a small child was frightened by his appearance, he hesitated for a moment, but the voice was continuing its control, he swung his sword high in the air, when a voice cried to him, a squad member of his division came in front of him and the girl, she ran, but the man remained and had his hand on his sword. "Please fukutaichou! Stop this madness!" Sujoo, continued onward now, leaving the man that had confronted him heaped on the ground in a pool of his on blood. Arriving at the base of the mountain, Sujoo began using flash steps to reach the top, in doing so, the fight yonder came into view.
Seeing the situation at hand, he analyzed all that were present, the Espada, the three Captains, the other captains, and the other squad members. He began walking calmly towards them, the voice was calling out for blood, it was telling him to kill everyone present, though completely impossible, he went after the one person that was there that he knew best, his Captian. "Curse, Jinkusu." As the black wing appeared and his sword grew in length, he walked closer, appearing away from the group of people, but still behind Shizuka, he pointed his sword at her, apparently ignoring the current situation at hand, completely ignoring the presence of the Espada and disregarding the fact that Shizuka was in her Bankai state, he called out her name "Taichou, Shizuka Taichou." His voice was menacing and almost speaking in a taunting way, though his face was still blank. "I'm going to carve my mothers name into your skin, please, don't hesitate to oblige, you'll make me deal with a difficult situation." In one single powerful thrust, he burst off the ground, leaving a very large mass of destruction behind, his sword pointed direction at Shizuka's head.

Jurisho Sakasora
Squad Thirteen Lieutenant
Jurisho had been quite absent minded for the past little while, not paying any attention to her Captain or the fight, she had been picking her ears or watching the grass behind her rustle back and forth. Until the unsoundly rip of a Gargantua blasted through the entire surroundings did she actually start to pay attention, she was left to wait an order or maybe just sit there and watch, as she would be of no use. It surprised her just how fast the battle had started, she grabbed her sword out of its sheath from instinct, not in a battle ready way, she watched the speed of the intruder, his strength, and his overall demeanor, he was a monster. "What kind of guy is this?" She saw then Nanashi and Ashely, two captains? She couldn't believe that two captains would have rendered useless against this man, how could that be? They both looked on the brink of death. She waited in anticipation when Zetsumei and Akusuna confronted the man, she was nervous about the turn out, after all, if he already nearly killed two, what was another two going to do to him? Being knocked back on her a** from his release power, she coughed helplessly with his power suffercating her, she couldn't breathe, she almost passed out, though she eventually regained herself, to a point, she was still badly stunned.
As her Captain saved Ashely, she rushed over to him as Unohana was preparing to heal her, she looked to Nanashi, this man acted as if this was a game, toying with him. Nobu's rushed attacked had ended in his unknown state, dead or alive, the fool. "Taichou... what do you want me to do?" She was lost in the situation, it looked like everyone had gotten out of the area safely at least, as Shizuka appeared she laid down Linuen, he was knocked out by the man. She looked back as Shizuka left, leaving to help the others, there was so much commotion. "Should I help in some way?" She knew that Yukimura wouldn't command her to fight, she'd only, if anything, jeopardize what the other captains were fighting for, she wondered why the Captain commander hadn't stepped in, then again, if he had to fight every war, then there wouldn't be a need for the others. In any case, she was itching to be useful. "I await your orders Taichou.." She moved closer to the battle field, Unohana was healing Ashely, she feared the worse for Nanashi. It was then that Jurisho noticed Sujoo, Shizuka's Lieutenant walking towards them, in his Shikai. "He isn't planning on trying to fight is he!?!?" She screamed out to no one in particular. "Sujoo wh-" Seeing his pointing his sword at Shizuka she was struck with horror, was he attacking the Espada or Shizuka?
It was then that Jurisho felt a very odd sensation throughout her body, it felt as if something was pulling on her, pulling on her mentally, she was trying to shake off the weird feeling, trying to stop whatever was happening to her, but she felt as if she was loosing for she began to lose her eyesight, she put her hand out trying to feel for something, eventually sticking her sword in the ground for some stabilization, veins appeared in her forehead, her lips were quivering as were her eyelids. "I..don't know what is happening..taichou..." Unable to withstand the mental pressure that was being forced on her, she was, like Sujoo, taken over by some unknown force, her quivering and mental battle was over, with her being the loser. Standing once again and facing Yukimura, a wicked smile appeared on her face. "Our mother beckons us to return to her, those who refuse have no importance to her." She didn't aim her frustration toward Yukimura or Ashely, but to Unohana, she lifted her sword hip length and rushed after the lower seat office, aiming to cut her down, Yukimura would have merely seconds to stop her as she was in such close proximity to her.

Linuen Frost
Third Seat, Seventh Division
Linuen coughed blood at once as soon as his mind shifted into the reality once again. Suddenly, he felt his entire body envelop with pain he could not even put into words; it struck him hard, extremely hard. As if the bone-crushing, mind-snapping pain was not enough, he felt the most horrible flesh-twisting sensation in his chest area that made him twitch involuntarily though his body clearly was in no condition to do so. He writhe like an earthworm for a moment before stopping still, his thoughts and pain calmed down though not fully. After a moment or two, his pain subsided but not fully though enough for him to bear.
Linuen tilted to his side, trying to cope up with everything that happened since he recent fall. Sadly, with all the actions and noise coming from all sides of the battlefield, it was almost impossible to distinguish what was happening to everything. His eyebrows met as he managed to make the first sign of frustration. He tilted to his other side again, though all these times he kept his eyes closed, and then felt everything before him. Linuen was fortunate enough to hear Shizuka reveal to everyone on the area about the real name of the foe, indicating her swift penetration of the enemy's mind to know what she could muster from him.
"Taichou, Shizuka-Taichou..." A familiar voice called out to Linuen's superior. Though it was completely guts and not in a form of real evidence, Linuen thought that Sujoo, also his superior, sounded somewhat off the hooks. However, maimed as he is, he could not be sure about his hearing perception. He waited for a moment to feel most of Sujoo's aura before he passed judgment. But the funny thing was: why did he bother when Linuen couldn't even manage to stand up?
"I'm going to carve my mothers name into your skin, please, don't hesitate to oblige, you'll make me deal with a difficult situation." Sujoo proceeded, much to Linuen's shock.
The Third Seat's mind raged about moving from his place.
