Rei Shunpoed into the area where a few raging battles were going on. Despite having the better numbers, the Shinigami seemed to be on even footing with the Arrancar. She contemplated stepping in to help, but interrupting a fight would probably be rude, unless invited. Besides, Rei wasn't the fighting type anyways. She was used mainly for support and healing. As a pacifist, she probably wouldn't be much fighting backup anyways. On an emergency call, she had come in running, intending to heal wounds whenever needed. If they needed support, they could just ask. Cupping her hands around her mouth, she stood on the sidelines, calling out to the three Captains. "Bloodlust-taichou! Masterson-taichou! Ichimaru-taichou! I'm here for support! Please don't hesitate to ask for assistance!" she called, bowing humbly to all of them. The battle had seemed to go on for a while, looking at the wounds that allies and enemies alike, had sustained. Clasping together her hands in a worried, fashion, she remained a spectator to the events that unfolded.

Khairan was rather impressed to see how this Espada is able to dodge the blue lightning of Khairan's. Normal Arrancas or Hollows won't be able to dodge this, as the speed of the lightning is incredibly fast. This Espada has shown himself worthy, but not an opponent to Khairan. Khairan is still in the mood of playing around with him. Having both of his attacks to be cancelled, Khairan would stare at the Espada with his faint smile. Perhaps it was rage, anger, and hatred, that made the Espada to shout out loud. By the looks of it, it may seem that the Espada has gotten a little over himself, thinking highly of his abilities. Khairan sighs, hearing him asking his name. "This always happens huh...", Khairan thought himself before answering. "Khairan D.Bloodlust, Captain of the 11th Squad. Happy now?", Khairan replied, he really didn't understand why all of the opponents he faced has asked his name. Though, the same goes for Khairan, he does ask the strong opponents for their names. Khairan didn't like wasting time asking, he would just leave it be as long as they don't tell. It's not that important, since they're not that strong. If he is going to go into resurrect form, Khairan would love to see how strong it can be. All of a sudden, out of the blue, a familiar voice that Khairan had inspired came from a distance. Khairan turns and took a look, unexpected, it was one of the Shinigami Khairan had knew, the name she goes with is Rei Acele Catheirn, 4th Division's lieutenant. Khairan smirks a little, then turns back. "You best stay there, and don't move...", Khairan told Rei, knowing how dangerous the situation is right now.

SpacerMasamune could tell that as a fire user Caleb had the upper-hand however the said shinigami made a mistake in trapping a proportion of the volcano opening in with them. He watched intently as Caleb initiated another attack. Too bad, he'd deciphered both their reiatsus to a stage where he can distinguish them no matter how little they were or where they were, as long as they were around they were in his 'sight'. Neither would notice of course since his single eye appeared a high disadvantage against their four eyes. SpacerAs the last of Caleb's blades reached its final position, Masamune smirked as he swiftly sheathed his blade before unsheathing all three in one motion, letting out an array of azure lightning. "Let's give this a test shall we," he mumbled to himself before charging towards the incoming blast. Recklessness was in his nature, if it was recklessness that is. "Magnum Step!" And as the two forces clashed they sent out a huge blast of energy, enough to cause the volcano behind them to groan in agony. SpacerAs the smoke from the clash thinned, Masamune reappeared standing only a mere feet from Caleb's position, clearly that charge wasn't for nothing. "You put up a good fight kid," he stated, almost as if he was pleased, "Since you're a fire user like my rival, I hope you live up to their notoriety." As the smoke faded completely it revealed a Masamune who had sustained a heavy burn to his right arm and half of his torso, the half that had charged right into that attack. Despite all that he didn't seem fazed at all. Was that statement one of challenge, or was it that the remnants of the last attack reminded him of something or someone?

Caleb was shocked to see Date charging into his blast. He had to have known the flames were going to burn him, but there was some other straegy in mind. When he realized how close Date was, he was really impressed. Though when he said he put up a good fight, Caleb was interested. was he giving up? Or was this his way of saying that he was going to try and end this?
"I must be off today," He said as he lifted up the flaming Donovan, "You just don't seem like you want to die." He swung the flaming blade down against the three blades Date held, and brought the other two flaming blades across his body to cut the Date across his torso. He was hurt, there was no doubt about that, but how badly really?

Looking at Date's recklessness wasn't exactly comforting but with it Kazuma didn't have to act for Masterson's attack for it didn't look like it cared much for friendly fire. "Well seeing as he can take an attack of such magnitude from Masterson and cancel out with it, I"m not finding this fight kawaii anymore and I really don't want to use it" thought Kazuma as if he was not intending to use such attacks against one another but if this was how things were going then he would have no choice.
As soon as Masterson rose one of the three zonpaku-to he wield, Kazuma saw this as an opportunity to start cornering Date, even though Kazuma knew Date was wounded, but for how long and that wasn't a luxury Kazuma was going to let go. As Masterson swung down his zonpaku-to, Kazuma took a stance aimed towards Date and Masterson,whilst facing them, Kazuma retracted his right arm causing the metal like snakes to retract to his back, launching four of the five snakes two aiming directly at Date and the other two swung out in case Date dodged but that was a ploy for the head that stayed by his back split becoming three before grabbing the haori hopefully grabbing Masterson and throwing him out of the way before his blade would have made contact.
If successful Masterson would no longer be in the way for Kazuma dashed towards the location the two were originally in. "Hebi no shukufuku: Shunsogeki" spoke Kazuma lightly for the sound of the hissing the metalic snakes made muffled him out, but as Kazuma got closer to Date but still much distance laid between them, the snakes attacked Date in an omnidirectional assault.

SpacerIn an instant the grip Masamune had on his swords changed. He purposely dropped one of them, and whilst it was falling he used the opportunity to parry Caleb's single sword. As the last sword fell to his feet, he nimbly kicked up, into his left hand before using it to parry the remaining two swords. Of course he had to side-step a little to prevent getting anymore hits. However it was time for the other captain to intervene. SpacerDeciding against pulling out anything else before he completely healed, Masamune instead used the sword in his left hand to redirect the two heads coming straight towards him. His lightning would line the sword so that it would be temporarily redirected successfully. This opened a bigger opportunity for Kazuma's attacks as his snakes were all around Masamune but as soon as his injuries healed, they'd be seeing something else. Spacer"Burns aren't an exciting thing to have exactly," he began, "But my body seems to have gotten use to healing them." The scar from Caleb's initial attack remained while the burns from the last attack began to rapidly fade. Masamune didn't have a resistance against fire but his run-ins with a particular fire user allowed him to heal faster from those attacks.

Caleb was slightly surprised to see that Date still had enough strenght in him to parry his strikes. It was shortly after that, Ichimaru's snakes pulled him away from the Primera so that he could attack himself.
As he was pulled away his flames began to extinguish around the battlefield. The cage he had placed them in sizzled out, even the ones around his blades extinguished if only for a moment. As the burns on Date's body seemed to heal Caleb's jaw clenched. "Guess i'll just have make 'em hotter." He sunk back into his shadow again, but this time he'd wait. Date would expect him to come out of his shadow again to strike him, but Caleb was going to wait for the time to be right and who knows, If Ichimaru got close enough, Caleb would use his shadow.

Hellhole - Caleb is able to enter into any shadow that is big enough to hold his body, and exit out of any shadow that is large enough for his body to fit out of. The catch is that no matter what one of the blades has to go into the shadow first, and the same blade has to come out first. So his enemy has a warning of where he is coming from if he looks for the tip of the blade. Constant Technique once shikai is released, if any part of his body is still outside of the shadow that part can be hurt by an attack. Power Level 8/10 ]

SpacerWhen Caleb disappeared, he didn't disappear from Masamune's 'sight'. His position was still as bright as day to the One-eyed dragon but he pretended that wasn't the case. "Sneak attacks, great choice," he grinned, masking any knowledge he had of Caleb's position. Sheathing all three swords at once he freed up his hands, mostly to allow the circulation back into his injured arm. Stretching his right palm out, it didn't hurt much and most of the heavy burns had healed. Now, just to wait until the snakes make a move. Spacer

As the two snakes rebounded off of Date's blade, they both shoot back some yards away but before Date could react the two snakes made a circle like perimeter of chains 50 yards in diameter around Date with him as the center, the other five heads seemed to continue on in an predictable assault but as soon as the perimeter was made the five snakes separated themselves and while moving at a speed much faster then the assault, revealing it to be something of a feint, for as quickly as the perimeter was made the snakes began circling and arching the orbit like chain, until a orb (sphere) was made. During the finale of the orb of chain's creation, Kazuma had halted his dashed at about thirty yards away from where Date was and as he stopped, an eighth snake head manifested and joined in the orbs creation, sealing Date inside in an almost indestructible cage.
"Feeding time, Uroborosu" spoke Kazuma as he rippled the chain connecting him to the eerie orb, "Senkon Meiraku." As soon as the ripple connected with the orb the sound of metallic hissing was made, while outside nothing appeared to be happening but the inside was a different story, one that only Kazuma and the person trapped inside would know.
Within the darkness of the orb, all eight heads would attack Date with their fangs and if he destroyed them they would simple regenerate and continue the endless assault but if he dodged an attack the chains connecting the snakes heads would create pillars that if Date came into contact with, he would feel the effects of the sluggishness and eventually be bitten and with each pillar the orb would decrease it's overall size making the inside more compact and more likely to become prey to the serpents.

Caleb was able to watch Ichimaru from the shadows, and was greatly impressed by the attack. He had never seen it before, and while he wasn't delusional about Date being taken down so easily, it should damn well hurt him bad. Claeb emerged from Ichimaru's shadow holding the flaming Donovan above his head as it came out first. Obviously he didn't strike his ally.
"Impressive, and is that suppose to suppress him or kill him?" Caleb asked with a smirk. He wasn't trying to insult the Captian, but two of Calebs attacks that were meant to kill his target immediatly had already failed against the primera, so while Date was wounded, he wasn't completely confident that this technique would be able to kill the arrancar.

SpacerInteresting, maybe I'll see how this goes, Masamune thought as the snakes began to make their move, or rather the other Captain. Just as the snakes began to circle, Masamune mumbled, "Tenko," sending out a huge wave of lightning. The last of his injuries had healed and maybe the two on the other side would notice. SpacerFinally the last glimmer of light faded leaving Masamune in the dark, with the only light being his mildly glimmering eye. He decided to allow one to sink its fangs into him, as he parried the others with nimble skills, though with this many he obtained several other grazes. "Poison?" he wondered as his sparks erupted from his hand, "Either way, this many is far from enough." Unknown to those outside, his body began to glow alight with sparks so much so that the snakes could not make contact with his body, only pass through it. As the snakes relentlessly continued their attacks, without any more hitting him, Masamune rubbed his previous bites a little. "This guy's quite the interesting one," he grinned. This was beginning to get interesting. He noted to return to normal the moment a slight opening opened. Spacer

A huge surge of lightning pulses out from Masamune. The surge only possess a weak power as this ability is not actually meant to be for offense. Once activated Masamune can transform (himself or any part of himself) into lightning temporarily at will, however even the most analytical / powerful opponents cannot identify the link between the supposed skill (the wave of lightning) and his ability to fade into lightning.

It's never enough....
The Unrelenting Hunger, Très Espada:
☾ | Aiken Jingeru | ☽
☆☆☆☆☆__________★★★★★
Aiken smiled as the shinigami announced his name. He licked his lips in anxiety at thought of felling such a powerful opponent. He was done underestimating this guy. He obviously had enough strength to not get obliterated by the Primera and Aiken would have to show him due respect lest he lose his own life. Despite this though he would not see this shinigami as an equal. He was just a stronger insect, one that required a little more effort to squash.
In the middle of their minor respite, another shinigami had apparently joined the fray. Aiken's eyes drifted to the female who had no problem announcing her prescense. A gleam shot across Aiken's eyes at the thought of fighting her. He turned back to his opponent and let out a coy remark rather loudly as to address the female shinigami, "It looks like someone a bit more interesting has entered out little game. A secret flower perhaps? She looks so delicious. I guess I'll have to get rid of you rather quickly lest the Primera gets his hands on her when he's finished killing off the other two ants. Poor guy would not know how to handle such a delicate being," Aiken said in his usual condescending tone, shooting a quick wink toward the female shinigami before ultimately focusing back on Khairan.
"Anyways, back to our date, Bloodlust...was it? It's funny that's also the name of my zanpakuto," He said as extended both of his blades horizontally, "And it seems as though she does not like you having it. I feel sorry for you now. She's a rather dangerous one that I can't control sometimes..." The Espada's reiatsu began to skyrocket as a more serious expression took over his face. "But whatever, you'll get to meet her soon enough. You two can settle your differences then..."
Aiken would then lower his head and mumble, "Indulge yourself...Ansia de Sangre..." The remainder of his hollow mask located at the bottom of his hair line on the back of his head would suddenly engulf it. The mask that grew was a simple solid black but with a single horn at the top of his head curved backwards. His hair also flowed from the back in all it's glory. A small slit cut horizontally across the mask as well to allow Aiken to see. Strange entwining acrane symbols then appear on his exposed arms and legs. His two blade would join together to form onto a single hilt with both parallel to each other, gripped by his right hand.
Once the transformation was complete, the Espada would swing his zanpakuto horizontally to dissapate his own reiatsu's pressure. As the surrounding area returned to normal, he peered at Khairen. "I do not normally do this for worms but it's been so long since I've released that you've caught me in a odd mood so cherish this moment as I give you my name." The arrancar inhaled deeply and pointed his zanpakuto at the shinigami. On the left cheek of his mask the number 3 would suddenly appear in a solid white. "Tres Espada, Aiken Jingenru..."
As soon as those words left his mouth the Espada vanished. At an unfathomable speed he appeared behind shinigami and came down with fearsome slash aimed along the shinigami's exposed back. Due to being in his released form both his speed(especially) and following attack would not be something to scoff at.

"Well it's supposed to do both" spoke Kazuma towards Masterson, as Kazuma could sense that a snake head had made it's bite in the target as well as a few chains. "Say Masterson, you don't know what's so deadly about my zonpaku-to do you" spoke Kazuma "well I'll explain, though the chain carries a mild poison while if one is bitten, well we'll see" continued Kazuma as he began to look at the orb. "Hmm, it seems that Masumune-san has found a way to escape the damage, well what matters is that the poison has entered her body" thought Kazuma, his smile ever present as if he was scheming something else after his attack.
"Well Masterson, you might want to get ready, with a big attack" spoke Kazuma as he could feel that his attack was coming to an end. "I wonder what exactly is he doing" thought Kazuma as he prepared to end the assault.
While in the inside of the orb, the snakes seemed to have disappeared, leaving only Date in the darkness filled with pillars all throughout the orb many of the pillars going through Date's astro form. Only the sound that Date was making could be heard inside the orb, no metal hissing.

When Khairan got his words, it may seem like he is going to aim for Rei after Khairan. Nope, not going to happen. When the Espada spoke his name, Khairan got the information that he is Tres, meaning number 3 in Italy language. Inspired he was, it seems like he has proven a challenge. Same name, perhaps the Tres Espada's Zanapkuto is jealous, maybe. Understanding that, Khairan would expect him to do some cliche attack. Indeed, but he went into his ressurection form before doing so. It looks weird, but truth is that all Esapda DO look weird. Smiling at him, Khairan was expecting a great and fast attack. Khairan was ready, but he wasn't ready for such a GREAT speed. Within seconds, he disappeared, merely another second passed, the Espada appeared behind Khairan. Khairan widen his eyes in surprise, but Izanami wasn't the one to be off guard. Izanami's hand basically moved its elbow back in order to block. It did, but the force was rather strong, landing a rather strong strike. Being pushed back some distance, Khairan would expect something different after his upcoming attack. Khairan smirked, then said. "My, isn't that something special now", Khairan praised, he was impressed by his new abilities. Khairan once again ready to let out his Nagashi. Blasting the charged electricity out from his body, Khairan would follow up with his Shikai attack, Senbon, sending out a huge arc that will disperse into hundreds of needles. Khairan will be slowly watching the Espada's reaction, hopefully, this Espada could be a strong challenge.
