Welcome to Gaia! ::

So Vizard-san... Guess it can't be helped can't it??? Mock inquired of Jan, as his reiatsu returned to its usual "form", assuming a less menacing aura... I mean, we do have our priorities... Saving the imprisoned Shinigamis!!! As Mock finished those last words, Verdugo released the burst of energy towards Saiko.

What the??? He said, as he looked back and had time to watch Saiko deflect the attack, with some effort...

While listening to Jan's words, Mock reached for his wakizashi inside his kimono. Slitting his left palm with the blade, he let the blood run through the length of it, tainting it dark in the process. Suddenly the wakizashi's blade grew to the size of a nodachi's, and the Shinigami's reiatsu tenfolded, spiking in an aura of dread around him. This ominous aura was almost tangible to those around MockaDash, who spoke, with eyes pitched black... On second though... We do have time to play, don't we? He smirked, as he licked the wound on the palm of his hand...

Raising his right hand, with the kissaki (the edge) of his Zanpakutou pointing at Verdugo, Mock asked. Since you seem to know the way, Vizard... I'll let you choose... Shall we stay and fight? Or shall we move on, and leave all the fun to the remaining Shinigamis here? He frowned, as if unhappy with the second option...

Yet again Ky was at the receiving end of one of Xeion's brutal attacks. His fast kicks and swift movements all look like a blur to Ky as Xeion hit him again and again. It may look that Ky was getting a savage beating to those that observe from afar, but this "beating" was what Ky wanted. For every hit he sustained, his anger would grow stronger. If Ky's anger grew, so too would his Overdrive for anger was the main source of energy for a Raven's ARC Overdrive, the strongest ability a Raven had, stronger than Raven ARMS, even.

An Overdrive occurs when a Raven looses control of the calmness required to keep the ARC stable during ARC control. When a Raven looses his calmness, the alchemical power of a Raven's ARC would forcefully release itself in a Raven's body, increasing his powers tenfold and release it into a single, powerful attack unique to each and every Raven like the ARMS system. If a Raven had brought out his AMRS when an Overdrive is activated, that dramatic increase in power would become even higher than a Raven's Overdrive without releasing his ARMS. Although powerful, the effect of and Overdrive, however, is severely straining to both the Raven and his surroundings as a sudden release of such massive powers would exhaust a Raven even more and would require them to rest for at least three days and even more if his ARMS is activated and Overdrives are usually explosive in terms of their release type. for a description on how explosive, think mini-nuclear explosion.

Ky's armor grew redder with each strike that hit him, laughing maniacally as Xeion slashed him over and over again. The sparks that Xeion's slashes caused illuminated his eyes in a devilish manner. "More, more, give me more power!!" shouted Ky and launched his hydras at Xeion with four of them intending capture Xeion while the other four would attack him physically. Once again, Ky's Blitzkrieg Cannon charged up, gathering all the energies it could around him. If even one of his hydras were to catch even a part of Xeion, it would prove difficult for him to escape from the Blitzkrieg Cannon's powerful alchemical laser.

Xeion had been too preoccupied with striking Ky as well as maintain control of his ARMS to notice the Hydras that came at him until it was too late. Four of them caught Xeion's limbs and clamped their metal jaws tightly so that Xeion couldn't escape their powerful grasp. The other four Hydras then struck Xeion's body with great force equivalent to a one ton sledgehammer's strike, slamming into his stomach, ribs, chest, and lower abdomen. Although Xeion had a constant protective aura around him, the Pride Barrier, as a result of Elena's second-stage shikai release, reducing all the damage he would be receiving by almost half, Xeion felt those painful strikes as each one causing him to spurt out blood.

Just after, Xeion raised his head wearily at Ky who was preparing to fire another shot from his Blitzkrieg Cannon. His limbs were held by Ky's Hydra's and there was no possible escape for him and since he had just taken damage, he couldn't summon a Dark Mirror to absorb the powerful laser beam. Instead, he had to rely on his ARMS and hope that their aura shields would hold against the power of the Blitzkreig at point-blank range.

When Xeion saw that Ky was about to fire, the Knight Sabers flew in between Xeion and shot, forming a circular defense patterns which resembled the sun, automatically activating their aura shields. The beam immediately made contact with the Knight Sabers' aura shields and the resulting pressure which resulted from the clash of offensive and defensive energies shattered the ground beneath them. The Knight Sabers were no doubt able to provide Xeion with a powerful defense, but the force of Ky's beam was so strong that it started pushing his body back.

The clash between Xeion's ARMS and Ky's Blitzkrieg Cannon lasted only for a few seconds with the energies of both sides began to wane. Finally, unable to sustain their defensive aura, the Knight Sabers flew out of their formation and allowed the beam to pass right thorough. When it did, the beam had already lost most of its killing power, but it still had some attack power left equivalent to a reiatsu-enforced punch which came from Feiy-sama herself. The weakened beam of energy hit Xeion exactly at his solar plexus, the power of the strike jarring loose his limbs from the grip of Ky's Hydras, sending his body flying across the entire length of the long corridor before he made contact with the ground, rolling like a rag doll until his body naturally stopped when it lost momentum as he lay motionless on the ground, his eyes devoid of all expression.

Ky saw his beam hit Xeion, causing serious damage to him as he flew and crashed a good distance away from him. Smiling devilishly, Ky flew over to where Xeion lay motionlessly in order to get a closer look at him. Landing, Ky approached Xeion's, tapping his head lightly with his armored foot. "Hey, Xeion, get up. We're not done yet...," Ky mumbled to the motionless Raven, but Xeion still lay there, silent and unmoving. Annoyed that Xeion was non-responsive, Ky grit his teeth and began to step on Xeion's head out of anger then kicking him mercilessly. The anger in his mind made Ky think irrationally and one could say that Ky was some sort of a different person now. "Get up, get up, get up, get up!!" Ky shouted in rage, continuing to kick Xeion over and over again, pummeling Xeion's body with heavy kicks. "I didn't order you stop, Xeion. Now, get the ******** up or I'll continue to beat the s**t out of you until you do!"

The crackle of static preceded the arrival of Beowulf Lonfan. He appeared at the edge of the wing, leaning against a wall. He was the last obstacle within this area. His shirt had been torn off in a recent fight. His body glistened in the flickering light of the torches. The torches themselves seemed to increase in intensity, as if a new fuel burned in its place. With a thought, the flame seemed to run down the wall and across the ground. With a snap of his fingers, Wulf signaled the flames to rise, creating a wall of bluish flame. Wulf's voice came over the flicker of the flames. As he spoke, the air seemed to have a chill, even though the fire was burning.

"You see, I do not enjoy seeing my lord's adversaries within these halls." He stood up straight, his posture giving the illusion of a kingly nature. "If you were to just turn around, I would not be required to annihilate you."

Slash entered the large dark wing, walking at a quickened pace as to reach where everyone was before it was too late. His footsteps echoed as they struck the ground. Their repetativeness heightened as he sped up, feeling familiar reiatsus nearby.
There we are, now just wait until I reach you... he thought snidley.

Rounding the corner, a hidden smile appeared under Slash's mask as he sa multiple figures scattered out, most engaged in combat. There was his target, already in released-form attacking Evil, the Captain of 10th Division. He noticed her easily, even though she was in a completely different form than they were when they all traveled underground through the Menos Forest. She was still the same person, even though in Zaigou form; so Slash wanted to equally show respect to her no matter what form she was in. He respected power, and someone like her deserved a greater respect than others.

This is why Slash was a little hesitant to cut her off in battle, but it was why he came in the first place. Slash removed only one of his zanpakuto, holding the blade coated in a shiny liquid tinted purple, aiming steadily at Hawk. He moved quickly, coming from behind the arrancar, jumping into the air, and chopping downwards stealthily. His aim was not to disrupt the match that seemed to be having trouble getting started, he merely wanted to exact his revenge and give possibly an opening for Evil to attack this motherless piece of hollow filth.

((Hey, Xeion, I know I said that I won't post until Rakey and the others arrive, but it's been, like, two whole days already and Chiu's not gonna log on to Gaia as frequently as she used to, hence taking away my one source of leisure RP whenever I get on. Do we really have to wait for Rakey and the others to post? I'm getting sooo~...bored now... stare ))
