__________________________________
_____________________  Sakuya knew what time it was when Zenos and Sebastian left the room. She stood up a one smile present on her face. The time of reckoning had come. By the end of the day the Seireitei would be no more. "Teresa." She said to her Path as she readjusted her Zanpakuto. Teresa didn't speak, instead she simply nodded. The two of them made their way to the door as well, but Sakuya stopped before exiting. "Neida," she turned to look at Neida, a devilish smile on her face, "since you're so worried about who's gonna be a burden, the one who kills less captains has to spend the next week naked. I will enforce the bet if you lose by the way, so you'd better bring your A game." She flashed a smile that indicated she was dead serious, then turned to leave. Once they were a decent distance from the meeting room, Teresa finally spoke up. "Lady Sakuya, if I may, why did you suggest such a ridiculous wager?" Teresa asked, a tinge of curiosity in her voice. Sakuya continued walking never turning to look at Teresa as she responded. "In a word: Inspiration. Because, whereas I could care less about being naked, that uppity c**t Neida does. She thinks I don't notice the looks of disgust she gives me whenever I'm around Zenos, but I do and that means she can't stand the thought of being looked upon in a sexual way. She'll push herself and fight at 100% just so she doesn't lose the wager. I have no doubts that she'll lay waste to many a Shinigami without second guessing herself now." Teresa's eyes widened at that. What she had thought was a mere jest by Sakuya had turned out to be a tool to aid a comrade without openly admitting it. Sakuya was quite the crafty one after all, it seemed. A few moments later they arrived at Sakuya's room. Sakuya kicked to door open without hesitation. Inside the rest of her Paths were sitting awaiting her orders to move out. "Alright you whores! It's party time! Get your s**t and let's go ******** these bitches up!"
In the skies above the Seireitei, not too long after Zenos began running amok in the Hakase estate, a second Garganta appeared. This one was much larger than the last as eight females walked out of it line abreast. The one in the center of the formation was wearing different clothing from the others. Sakuya stared down upon the Seireitei in silence for a moment. Her eyes held so much fury one could almost see the rage swirling in them. He mind drifted back to the two families that she'd lost to the Shinigami. They'd taken so much from her. So much happiness gone because of the very people that were now just six hundred feet below her. Lastly, her mind wandered to her fondest memory of her father from that night at Honnoji when he was telling her the origin of her name as a child, the last time she would ever see him smile. Tears then began to stream down Sakuya's cheeks, even though she kept her furious gaze and stoic silence. "Lady Sakuya?!" the Blossoming Knights save for Teresa all said almost in unison. None of them had ever seen Sakuya so much as shed a tear, much less have them streaming down her face as she did now. Teresa knew full well the depths of Sakuya's pain, however, as she had been the Sephira's sole confidant for many years. She closed her eyes then gently placed a hand on Sakuya's shoulder. Below them the battle was raging full blast. An entire building was a block of ice and Zenos and his pets were leaving a wake of destruction starting at a large garden. Teresa spoke finally in the soft tone she normally used around Sakuya. "Lady Sakuya, what would you have us do?"
Sakuya felt the weight of Teresa's hand on her shoulder and it brought her back from her thoughts to the situation at hand. "I want you unleash your Resurreccións and kill them. Kill them all. Don't leave one ******** maggot behind. Lay waste to this shithole with your doombringers." Sakuya's words came with such coldness that the temperature seemed to drop when she spoke. Acknowledging her Mistress's orders Teresa pulled her claymore free and held it in front of her face. "You heard Lady Sakuya!" The other knights quickly drew there blades at once and held them in front of their faces in the same manner as Teresa. "Bridge the realms of light and dark, сумерки." Their voices harmonized in a beautiful chorus as they all spoke and unleashed their Resurreccións. Their combined Reiatsu would make those on the ground pause to see if it has suddenly become dark out as it gave those that sensed it the feeling of looking at a field of stars. Teresa's tail whipped from side to side as she turned her head to ensure everyone had transformed. "All Knights, fire at will! Leave no trace of our Lady's enemies!" Teresa's voice came as commanding and stern. It was the voice of a true leader. Indeed, as ordered, they all engaged their вулкан and took aim. There wasn't anything but clicking at first as the guns took a moment to wind up to speed, but once they were all hell broke loose. Bala sprayed from the line devastating large swaths of the Seireitei as the Knights turned together, focusing their fire to an area that was about 100 yards in radius at any given time to deliver the most damage at one time while Sakuya watched on, her expression unchanged from before.
Down below, anyone unlucky enough to get caught in the hailstorm of bala would be instantly pummeled to death before they could even think what happened. Buildings were flattened, streets were cratered, everything was being reduced to gnarled rubble in the wake of the attack, and those that were too weak to avoid it were no exception._____________________

782 YES. ALL BALA WERE TAKEN CARE OF.  Nąηąsнι
Jūichibantai Fukutaichō Nanashi opened one eye to take a peek at his captain who had spoken after commenting on Tadashi and Aurelius' little bout, something Nanashi hadn't seen due to the 98 pund girl obscuring his vision and currently and playfully shutting his eyelids every time he opened them. This time though, as Nanashi eyed Asami in his peripheral, she followed his gaze, slightly taken aback that she had any idea Nanashi was playing with her. "Nn. If I told you, you'd never believe me. I barely believe it myself." Grinning, Nanashi turned back to Aika who had just thumped him in the forehead. He sat in silence for a few minutes until tiny pebbles caused him to look around in curious confusion, failing to look up like he idiot he was. However, the sudden feeling of something approaching fast caused him to jump up, knock Aika onto her side, and snatch the falling spear out of thin air just before it could skewer Asami's face. A second and third one neared them as well, but Nanashi dealt with them accordingly by using the spear he had caught to bat them away effortlessly.
He noticed that it had jagged edges, but lucky for him his Reiryoku hardened around his skin to provide an extra defense, meaning that the spears had barely grazed him. Still though, that meant they had been quite sharp. Looking up just in time to see Zenos go after Ciel and Ciel deal with it accordingly. Straightened up, he was quick to reach for his katana, draw it, and drive the kissaki and the shaft of the blade into the mask of a panther hollow that had lunged at him. He had done all of this without looking it's way, as his gaze was trained on Sakuya and her... women. "Ugh, this is why I hate girls sometimes." He remarked upon hearing Sakuya scream like a crazy person. "No offense, dear." He added, patting Aika's butt which his way of telling her to make herself scarce so he could concentrate on the matter at hand- the weaker Arrancar that were following the silver-haired monkey. Lowering his katana as the hollow turned to dust, Nanashi silently watched Aika wave goodbye as she vanished and the turned his attention on the knights as they released their identical Resurrección, which was an odd sight to behold, but not something Nanashi cared about.
Taking note of the sudden guns that appeared, Nanashi was quickly on the move, using a Shunpo to move to a distance of 300 feet away from them, but putting himself between the rapid-fire bala and the ground below. Hefting his katana, he cast Teresa a glare and jumped straight into Bankai, needing it badly for this next feat. "Bankai, Taishaku Kaiten Sōshinome!" At the pupil of the eye set into his trident's top, a cosmic energy began to crackle around it like electricity, quickly forming a barely visible orb that one would have to strain their eyes to even make out. Expanding outwards, the orb began to completely disappear once it reached a few feet in diameter, expanding out to set the edges of his Bankai space, a large sphere that was 430 feet in diameter and had it's limits accentuated by an ethereal barrier that was visible only to Nanashi himself and any one that may grab onto his trident, though it would take several seconds for the barrier to make itself known to anyone else even if they did so.
As the bala came towards him and the, Nanashi stood motionless, as though he had no idea where they were. That was, however, very false. While his Bankai was active, anything within his space could be located by thought, a by product of Mugen Shinkuido as he must be able to know where everything is to move it. "Daikōshōshin: Mugen" By uttering this simple command, he designated each and every bala that had been fired and suddenly and through an invisible force, sliced them in half, then made them disappear entirely. He stood, staring Teresa down for a few seconds before tossing his trident into the air and watching it fall to the ground, cracking his neck as it buried itself into the garden below and tossed up large amounts of dirt alongside it. "Shinkuido..." He stated plainly, suddenly causing the reappearance of each and every bala that had been cut in half and willed away mere seconds ago. The only problem facing the knights now was that the bala were once more between Nanashi and the knights, but they were barrelling towards them instead, leaving them to deal with their destructive force instead of the Shinigami below. ...Ara?___

Hibiki Kirisho
- Squad Nine Captain -
================================================
 The gods trembled
The demons flockedHibiki gave of a light smirk as he slowly shook his head. Given the severity of his encounter with Aurelius, Hibiki wasn’t all too surprise that his anger would reach such levels. Truth be told, his Lieutenant reminded him of himself a year back or so, and he found that thought to be rather humorous. Noticing Tadashi open what looked like a sake gourd, Hibiki made no visible response to it and continued enjoying the snack he had acquired for himself. He hoped that the rest of the day would prove uneventful, things were starting to become stressful for him in the Human World, and a long day of rest and relaxation looking at such beautiful scenery would do wonders for his health, even though the scenery was courtesy of a man he still hated.
However, his simple wish would never come to reality. Due to his self-imposed training in the Human World, Hibiki had gotten quite better at sensing the reiatsu of other people. But, whether he was more proficient in tracking reiatsu now, or not, would not matter, as even the daftest of Shinigami could sense the reiatsu that Zenos let out when he entered his resureccion. His eyes widened in utter shock as his gaze shot up, just in time to see several giant metal spears descend upon their area ”S**t.” he cursed aloud, not caring if anyone heard him as formality was hardly an issue any longer. Using Shunpo to immediately vacate the area, Hibiki managed to avoid getting impaled by the spears as his hand quickly drew his zanpakuto, which was concealed behind his back, covered by his jacket. The odd positioning of his zanpakuto meant that it caused him a great deal of discomfort, but he didn’t want to leave his zanpakuto behind, not out of a sense of danger, but because of the fact that he would never hear the end of it from Kaze once the party was over.
”I told you.” commented his zanpakuto, a comment Hibiki shrugged off as he looked on to see Zenos, who was now on the ground, summon several Gillians and Menos Grandes from two separate Gargantas. Gritting his teeth, Hibiki entered Shikai to try and distract Zenos until the others released their zanpakutos. However, the Sephira proved to be too quick, and was successful in isolating himself and Ciel in a one-on-one fight. Cursing once more, Hibiki finally calmed himself down long enough to notice that Tadashi and Nu were already starting to take care of the sudden emergence of hollows in the venue. Hibiki was about to join them, when another spike in the area’s reiatsu, garnered Hibiki’s attention. Despite his improvement, his reiatsu detection was still a bit slow, and by the time he looked up, Sakuya’s knights were already launching their attack.
Preparing to go into Bankai, Hibiki was interrupted by the sudden, but welcome appearance of Nanashi, vaguely remembering the Shinigami from his record books. Hibiki watched on as Nanashi seemed to enter Bankai, and was honestly impressed at how easily he was able to dispatch the Bala that were hurdling towards him, much more so when he saw him redirect the Balas back towards Sakuya and her knights. Deciding that the Menos Grande and the Gillians would prove to be a hassle once the other Sephiras entered the field, Hibiki immediately entered Bankai ”Bankai. Tenrai Kazeoni!” he yelled out as his dramatic released caught the attention of several Menos Grandes, deeming him to be a great threat to their invasion. This act of seeming intelligence disturbed Hibiki for a bit, but it didn’t matter. With a snap of his fingers, Hibiki switched his Bankai into its Fukuro mode, causing several scattered winds to explode from the single massive tornado. Raising his right hand diagonally over his head, and lowering his left hand in the same manner, in a rather dramatic pose, Hibiki willed the multiple blade fragments to swirl around him in a deadly vortex, proceeding to cut through most of the Menos Grande in the area. Once his foes were dealt with, Hibiki condensed the blade fragments into a single chakram, switching it to Tengu before throwing it in the middle of a group of Gillians ”Fujin. Tori.” he spoke, and with a snap of his fingers, the chakram blade exploded into a single massive hurricane, decimating the Gilian forces, as Hibiki seemingly teleported in the middle of the hurricane. Once done, he reverted his zanpakuto back to its Shikai form as he waited for the Sephira’s inevitable back-up.The winds were unleashed

Sora Kazama, Sanbantai Fukutaichō 
Sora ignored the others momentarily as he stared off in the distance for a moment not catching what was being said for the moment. However hearing Ciel speak up Sora turned back towards him grinning and nodding for a moment. "I agree the Taicho should be ashamed of themselves. Nice to meet you Ciel-kun. Of course do your thing." Turning back towards his Captain Sora observed him for a few moments since no one else seemed to be speaking to him. Suddenly an announcement was sent out and Sora turned towards it's source staring at the Captain idly. Shrugging and turning back towards his Captain Sora completely missed Aurelius' display of power. Letting out a yawn Sora closed his eyes. "Taicho I'm gonna go take another nap wake me up if something exciting happens. Bye!" Turning around and running off without another word Sora settled underneath a tree in a secluded area of the garden and leaned his head against the trunk.
Seconds later he was sleeping and dreaming of wonderful things. After what only seemed like a few minutes Sora was awakened by a huge reiatsu falling over the area. Jumping up he narrowly missed being impaled by a spear causing him to jump back missing another spear by sheer luck. "WHOA!" Hissing appeared in his ear in the tongue of his spirit. 'Idiot. You almost killed both of us you lazy good for nothing. Get up and defend yourself.' Waving the hissing off Sora let out another yawn. 'Shut up Hebi-baka. Like you could do any better worthless snake. Now just watch in awe and enjoy the ride you stuck up thing.' Pulling his zanpakuto out Sora twirled it around for a few moments before making his way back to the main area and turning to see where Zenos made off to. Seeing the end of the attack on Ciel Sora stared on in slight awe. "Whoa?!" Pausing for a moment and ignoring the mass of hollow pouring from the garganta Sora considered helping Ciel since Zenos seemed rather strong.
Then came the appearance of Sakuya and her paths causing Sora to forget Ciel. Watching Nanashi counter the sudden release of all the bala Sora decided on helping Nanashi instead. Zenos May be incredibly strong but Nanashi was facing far worse odds. Also besides knowing him to be the Eleventh Division Sora had no idea how strong Nanashi was. "Utsusu Benihebi." Going into shikai for the time being Sora took off towards Nanashi once he got within twenty feet he literally skidded to a halt. "I am hear to assist you in any way I can Juichibantai-fukutaicho." Holding his hands out defensively he eyed the tips of his claws for a moment before gazing up at the women. "Too bad they are women. Oh well I suppose." Glancing to the side Sora noticed Hibiki as well in the area giving him a slight nod before returning his gaze to the arrancar.

|777| Masashi, Lee, Gobantai Taichō"Telling me to go. But hands beg me to stay. Your lips say that you love. Your eyes say that you hate. There's truth in your lies. Doubt in your faith. What you build you lay to waste. There's truth in your lies. Doubt in your faith. All I've got's what you didn't take. So I, I won't be the one. Be the one to leave this. In pieces. And you, you will be alone. Alone with all your secrets. And regrets, don't lie. You promised me the sky. Then tossed me like a stone. You wrap me in your arms. And chill me to the bone. There's truth in your lies. Doubt in your faith. All I've got's what you didn't take." 
Lee nodded at Nu's first statement, though he didn't mind all that much considering it was in her nature to keep tabs on everyone. "Indeed you have been caught." Hearing what it was over Lee gave her a slight nod listening to what she had to say, though he offered her a statement in between her speaking. "I do not think ill of you Nu-taicho." He could never think ill about the girl considering their history together, all those years working as Captain and Lieutenant. The bond formed during those years was not something he took lightly. Letting Nu get it all out without interruption Lee simply stared at her patiently. The thoughts she had were plaguing his own thoughts as well concerning why he did it. Well he knew why he did it, he just didn't know how that damn music got in his head to begin with. Lee felt if he didn't kiss Eriko that the song might just keep playing in his head over and over again until he did. Of course the song only played once really, but the possibility of it playing more was still there. Not that Lee didn't want to kiss Eriko to begin with, he wouldn't have did it if the urge wasn't there. Lee just normally wouldn't have did it how he did it.
Nodding to the end of Nu's statements Lee cleared his throat calling after her, yet at the same time not stopping her. "Of course Nu-taicho, you know I extend the same offer to you correct? I appreciate your concern though." Rubbing the back of his neck for a few moments Lee let out a small sigh leaning his head back. He felt odd about the situation, on one hand he agreed completely with Nu concerning what she had to say, on the other hand well no there really wasn't anything else was there. Lee felt briefly as if he had lost control of his mind for some reason, but after a moment allowed it to go to the back of his mind. Retreating into his mind Lee would have normally immediately sought Nami's thoughts, yet they weren't talking as often anymore. That was a saddening thought considering how often they used to talk.
Closing his eyes for a moment quite suddenly they shot open and narrowed ever so slightly at the familiar reiatsu. What was he doing here? Given how Zenos released his reiatsu it was quite obvious that this was not a social visit. Jumping up Lee summoned his zanpakuto from the dimension, unsheathing it, then deflecting two spears by simply hitting them enough they simply landed around him. Seeing the mass of hollows pouring from the opened gargantas Lee held his blade to his side. "Sobieru, Namihime." Pointing to the sky he flicked the same finger at the mass of hollow pouring out. "Ametsumari." A large surge of water shot from the sky towards the hollow, covering a large area of the hollow. Watching as the water crashed down on them Lee turned towards the other shinigami present. Scanning the group quickly for any sign of Nu or Eriko, Lee seen neither of them and sighed.
"Mizumi, Mizusaki." After the two words uttered the blade of his shikai turned into fast moving water molecule, then swinging the blade in an arc he released a wave of water towards another group of hollow. Disappearing in a flash Lee appeared behind a couple adjuchas class hollows cutting them down before they even had time to react. It was odd but the hollow seemed a lot smarter than usual, though they certainly weren't fast enough to keep up with a Captain class shunpo. Using shunpo to move through a couple more adjuchas, Lee spotted Nu off by herself fighting. More arrancar had arrived but the others were taking care of them, and Zenos was preoccupied with a Lieutenant. If things turned for the worst with the Lieutenant Lee would jump in to fight against Zenos. Whether he could defeat him or not was called into question, Though Lee knew part of a battle was psychological and therefore allowed himself to feel he could defeat the Vampire. "Nu-taicho you faring alright?" Standing in front of a large group of advancing gillian that had ceros forming, Lee stood his ground there were people in the gillain's path after all. "Suijinheki." On command the wall of water shot up in between the gillian and himself, blocking the ceros they had formed for the time being. Still something needed to be done about the small fry before they killed everyone while the higher ranks were focused on the arrancar.
"Sacrifice through Danger and Pure Love. That is what the Lily of the Valley symbolizes."

xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx【 SUZUME CHIYOKO 】 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxLoneliness hit me suddenly,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbut it’s only t h e n that I realized,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxafter all that I have ever DREAMED of,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI really don’t like F I G H T I N G ✿✿✿ Suzume snapped back into attentiveness and her head whipped upwards, just in time to see the pebbles falling to the ground. They weren’t intended to entirely cause that much pain, it seemed, as for now, they were merely irritating and nothing else. However, her eyes widened as she noticed the spears which had materialized now. “Oh, s**t, this is going to be painful,” she swore under her breath, speaking more to herself than anyone else. Hastily jumping up from her seat, she dodged the spears using shunpo, making sure not to get hit by any of them. Who was attacking? Pinpointing Zenos, the Arrancar who had attacked them a while ago when she was just a new Lieutenant, her eyes narrowed. Goddamn it. Couldn’t they have even left them along for at least this day? After all, this was a pretty special day for more than just one person. Ah well, they couldn’t choose when to fight or whatever. Letting out an over-dramatized sigh, she scanned the nearby area, watching with admiration as Nanashi single-handedly dealt with the approaching Bala. If only she could do something like that. Scolding herself for wistful thinking, she swiftly drew her own zanpakuto. There went all the enjoyable time of simply relaxing and drinking.
Seeing a sudden movement behind her, she twisted her body, ready to defend herself if necessary. Funnily enough, the weight on her back was now less, as she finally recognized who had been there – her sister. It looked as if everyone needed to fight now, not just those who were prepared to. Not only were there two high-level Arrancar from what she could see, but with Zenos, Menos and Gillian had come. This was going to be a much more difficult task than before, especially since all of them couldn’t have even taken on Zenos when he had been by himself. Fervently hoping that Ciel, the Lieutenant whom Zenos had targeted, was still alright and was a pretty decent fighter, she decided that she’d might as well assist the other Captains in killing some of the lower-level Arrancar. “Bankai. Abunakkashii Konmei.” she muttered, going into her Bankai. Pointing her zanpakuto, which she had decided to keep for now, at a nearby Menos, she forced it to crystallize the Menos, before shattering it into several different shuriken-shaped pieces. She manipulated these to fly at the other Menos, hereby getting rid of some more. Looking at the seemingly endless line of Menos and Gillian, she pulled an annoyed face. Were they going to simply keep on coming?

⋆⋆⋆∥ ＨＡＫＡＳＥ xＥＬＩＳＩＡ
☇【 ｙｏｎｂａｎｔａｉxＴＡＩＣＨＯ 】 Elisia cursed loudly, something that she had been hoping not to do, as something hit her on her head. Then came another, and another, as she finally shielded her head with her arm, looking up. What she saw, made her freeze with fear. Zenos. She should have known that this day was going to be ruined by something. Noticing the spears, she pushed herself away from Tsukiko, a spear landing directly where she had been sitting. Her breathing quickened as soon as she realized how close she had come to being impaled by a spear. The next few spears that were nearby, were relatively easy to dodge and a straightforward thing, as long as one managed to note exactly where the spears were falling from. Seeing the fact that there were apparently also Gillian and Menos to deal with, she groaned aloud. She rushed quickly over to Tsukiko, giving her wife a quick peck on the cheek. It seemed like there wasn’t much time to lose for the moment, as unfortunately, some of the servants and others had not been as fortunate as her and had been badly injured by the falling spears. “You look after yourself, alright, Tsuki?” she hurriedly told Tsukiko, forming a half-hearted smile as she ran off to direct people. Nanashi had dealt with the bala from the second Arrancar, so that was one less worry at the moment.
After telling one servant to go and round up all the Fourth Division healers he could find, she untied the ‘train’ of her dress, the red-coloured part, handing it over to a servant so that she was only left in a white dress. There was no time for distractions or complaining about the fact that her own wedding reception had become a battlefield. Perhaps it was good after all, that her parents had not come, as they would most likely have found themselves caught up in this fighting. Staying on that more positive train of thought, she noticed her pouch lying on the floor nearby, dropped by a servant when he had fled away from the enemies. She picked it up, fastening it in place, before understanding that her healers wouldn’t be able to go into the battlefield unless she cleared up some of the mess for the meantime. Zenos was fighting with a Lieutenant and she could not do anything about that for the moment, while it seemed like the other Lieutenants had teamed up against the girl Sephira and her allies. Whipping past her sister, she grabbed her zanpakuto, thanking ‘Zume with a nod and a smile. She needed to fight and it was a good thing that she had brought her zanpakuto after all. “Bankai. Rukki Huang,” she whispered under her breath, drawing her zanpakuto and releasing her Bankai before continuing, “Taurus.”
Her eyes scanned the area for a suitable area, before settling on a group of Gillian. She was going to unfortunately have to wreck the Hakase estate in her attacks, but perhaps, she’d be able to fix it later, although looking at it, it seemed wrecked enough already. Concentrating her mind on them and pinpointing the middle Gillian, she clicked her fingers. Almost immediately, a massive earthquake unsettled them, being contained within the distance of them. She repeated this about twice more, before stopping and taking a few deep breaths. Her peripheral vision picked up a Menos coming her way and she whirled around, materializing and swinging her zanpakuto to simply cut its head off. To her utter surprise, instead of being instantly killed like all the other Menos she had encountered in her life, it instead dodged, before aiming for her left arm, where her guard was down. Picking up her pace a little, she blocked its attack, getting over her surprise relatively quickly before creating an earthquake underneath it, slicing off its head as it was momentarily distracted. Alright, that was weird. How the hell had they managed to make these Menos intelligent? Shaking her head, she shunpo’ed over to Nu and Lee’s side, asking worriedly, “Are you two alright?” While she trusted their ability to fight and look after themselves, it didn’t prevent her from worrying about them all the same. ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬

Hod
============================================================================= As the ongoing war proceeded, a rather wide Garganta ripped through space as it appeared a few meters or so below where Sakuya and her knights were. From the black cavity that floated in the mid-air emerged two heavily armored figures, one wearing a half-plate of silver colored armor, and one wearing a full plate of gold colored armor. Upon fully exiting the darkness of the Garganta, they would reveal themselves to be the Hod Sephira, Arian Aes clad in silver armor, and his Path, Fuerer Kaiser clad in golden armor. The stark differences in their personality would immediately make themselves apparent as the mass array of Balas hurdling towards the arrancar above them caused Arian to step back a bit in utter surprise, while Fuerer bit his lip and immediately yelled to the Gillian below, or at least those who were still alive ”Gillian! Use several negacions upon Sakuya and her Paths, now!” he yelled out with a stern and commanding voice. Obeying the higher ranking hollow’s orders, the Gillians fired several beams of translucent yellow light towards Sakuya and her Paths, bathing them in the dimension-isolating barriers and shielding them completely from the Balas, whether they liked it or not.
Still a bit caught off-guard Arian was once again surprised as Fuerer turned around and bowed towards him apologetically ”My apologies for initiative, sir.” he stated plainly and before Arian could make a response, he faced Sakuya and her Paths and bowed in the same manner ”My apologies for my uncalled for intervention, madams.” he spoke, all in the same serious and monotone voice. Noticing the fact that several of the initial wave of Gillians and Adjuchas were already being dispatched, Fuerer lowered his brow as he turned around to once again speak to Arian ”Sir, permission to give orders to the hollows, sir.” he had chosen to ask Arian himself, as Zenos was preoccupied with his battle, and Sakuya more or less only cared for herself, Zenos and her Paths, a fact that was all to evident given the gossips he had overheard with some of the hollows.
Scratching his cheek uncomfortably, Arian managed to stammer out a response to his Path’s request ”Uh, yeah, sure. Knock yourself out.” he managed to reply as he was still wondering why his Path was asking him for permission, him of all people. Though the thought bothered him, Arian didn’t bother to try and ask Fuerer, as he had a feeling he would most likely get interrupted.
A feeling that was correct as Fuerer immediately snapped his fingers, calling the attention of each and every Gillian and Adjuchas. With a stern and commanding voice he spoke aloud without fear of the enemy overhearing him ”Wave PC, resort to Plan D-2.” with that the Gillians and Adjuchas suddenly ignored the Captains and Lieutenants and proceeded in firing several high powered blasts at everything within the estate, killing servants, tearing apart landscapes and destroying a sizeable portion of the building with every blast. Knowing that the destruction of one area was far from enough, Fuerer opened another Garganta and spoke aloud into the darkness ”Groups RD-N to S. Commence attack.” from the other end, an open Garganta leading to several Gillians and a handful of Adjuchas carried out Feurer’s instructions as the hollows opened four Gargantas leading to the four Rukongai Districts, North, East, West and South. The hollows that emerged from the Gargantas were a raiding group at best, but were more than enough to cause chaos and destruction in the Rukongai Districts. Once the initial counter-planning was done, Fuerer turned around to face Arian, who was a bit awestruck at his Paths level of command. Once again bowing his head, he spoke ”Sir, would you like to--?” surprisingly however, Fuerer was cut off as Arian gave him a thumb up, surprising the Path even further.
Nodding, Arian smiled as he replied ”No problem, time for me to charge in and swing my sword like a maniac, right?” Arian’s surprisingly correct answer dumbstruck Feurer a bit as he simply nodded. Smiling, Arian stretched his arms as he drew his sword and pointed it at Sakuya ”Yo, Sakuya! Up for a little competition? The one who can fight with the most Shinigami, wins the right to boss the other around for a week. Ready? Set, go!” yelled Arian as he gave no room for Sakuya to decline the challenge, something that would either irritate her or make her laugh, Arian hoped it was the latter. As he allowed the reishi beneath him to bring him down, Arian jumped down midway and landed on the ground at such a surprising force that he not only cratered upon impact, but split the upper layer of rock as he kicked up rubble and debris all around him. Coughing a bit as he emerged from the cloud of dust, Arian gave his massive b*****d sword a swing or two as he waited for the first Shinigami to attack him, giving off a bright and genuine smile as he did so.

790 Ability to use Garganta in the Seireitei is now neutralized. xxxxxxxxthe Sun locks the Heavens xxxxxxxxthe Moon eclipses the Night 博士月子
Jūnibantai Fukutaichō Nodding quickly, Tsukiko smiled, choosing to leave her answer at that, if only for Hibiki's sake as she didn't deem it prudent to make fun of him any longer. It was nice to have a small time alone today during the reception, even though plenty of alone time would be coming once everything was over with. She was certainly looking forward to that. Her happiness was pretty short lived after being interrupted by Aurelius, and then Zenos' sudden appearance. Tsukiko let out a frustrated sigh and rose to her feet as Elisia ran off. She commented as a spear whizzed over her right shoulder, slicing the strap of her dress apart, causing the front to fold over and reveal the white bra that lay beneath. Her clothing situation was quickly resolved as she released Shikai. Upon release, Tsukiko's dress altered in appearance, the entire ensemble becoming a black halter top that looped her neck with a thin string, leaving her shoulders and back bare, and a matching pair of brocade pants
After this, a matching black long coat appeared over her shoulders, falling to the ground and sporting a mandarin collar and longer sleeves that fall past her hands. Her release was just in time to witness Nanashi dispatch the Bala with his Mugen Shinkuido, something she was proud to say she knew the mechanics of. Just then, the gold armored pretty boy ordered the Gillian use Negación on the currently victimized Sakuya and her girls. As soon as he began to speak the word Negación, Tsukiko's ears twitched in response and she cracked a gleeful smile, and quickly activated Taishita Kukan Kudaku - Sekai no Kichikukan to create eight miniature black holes within the Negación the second they were formed. They only lasted for an instant, but in the small window they were given, they utterly annihilated the Negación by warping space/time and blowing the dimensional rift apart, leaving Sakuya and her paths in the same danger they had faced to begin with. In the eyes of he who had commanded the attack, Fuerer, it would appear that the Negación had vanished before they could even work.
"To be perfectly honest," She began to no one in particular since no one was close enough to hear her. "I've been waiting for someone to do just that." She did not bother to go after Fuerer, as she was sure someone else could take him. He was, after all, far beneath her power. For now she would just concentrate on the Gillian, as they were far more abundant and very destructive. Unfortunately for Fuerer though, the Gillian going after the building itself only managed to get one shot on the large back deck before they were suddenly lifted into the air and forced into the Sekkiseki barrier above, reducing them to Reishi upon impact. It was clear to her that as long as she destroyed the hollow, the higher ranks would continue to summon them. Reaching into her pocket, she produced a small capsule that she tossed into the air. It exploded, and a hypersonic wave suddenly ripped through the Seireitei, slamming any open Garganta on this side shut. They would not be able to open them up from the Seireitei, but Tsukiko could do nothing if one was opened from the other side. They wouldn't know that though, which was why she wasn't worried about it just yet. And even if they did figure it out, it's not like they had inter-dimensional communication abilities.
A Gillian approached her, shuffling it's large pointed feet as it prepared a cero to fire at the building. Tsukiko glanced up at it just before she began crushing it with several tons of pressure, squeezing it into a sphere the size of a basketball. Once the Giillian was crushed, it landed in th palm of her outstretched hand where she began to idly toss it a foot in the air, let it fall, catch it, and repeat. For a few seconds she continued this process until finally she lifted her hand, pointed it towards the nearest Gillian horde and set a powerful repelling field behind it to shoot it into the masks of three Gillian that were conveniently lined up for her. "On my wedding day, huh? It just had to be today of all days... b*****d." Growling, Tsukiko repeated the process of crushing another Gillian and using him like a cannonball to kill other Gillian. No adjuchas had dared to approach her as of yet; not after seeing what she had done to the colossal Gillian. ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ ₪ [Technically they would have never been able to cast a negacaion faster than Bala could travel a few hundred feet, but I'll ignore it since I wanted to do this. xd ]

Tetsunosuke Harasawa Sixth Division's Captain ◥ Tetsunosuke let out a soft belch as he finished his meal. He expressed an elated face as he took a chug of his water. A loud gulp came from his throat as he sighed with relief. He placed his arms behind his head and closed his eyes. Tetsu was ignoring everyone around him for the sole reason of just not caring today. He'd been alone for a while now, well, not to long, since Kyo became Captain a while back. It was amazing for Tetsunosuke to not say a sly comment to Aurelius, even though the tyke was present and actually near him. Hibiki's words to his Lieutenant drew his attention, his left eye popped open, Tadashi seemed to look constipated. A sigh expelled from his lungs as he deduced that Aurelius was probably taunting him.
Tetsunosuke looked over to the other party guest. He was leaning back in his chair, having it cocked on two of it's legs as he was pushing from the table's legs. He lazily -with his eyes- glanced to the people that were visible closes to him. A yawn escaped him as he casually picked some sleep from the left corner of his right eyes. He noticed some knives were now hovering around Tadashi's neck. "Oh geez..." He brought his palm to his forehead and looked away. "Oi~! Aurelius! Don't use my name with the "F" bomb..." He threw his hand up with a light wave as he thought Aurelius was playing with Tadashi, "You kids... Hahaha." Tetsu ignored what happened next. He actually knew that they weren't joking around, and Aurelius had been ticked off. But did not involve himself into other Division's issues. He had his own to take care of.
Tetsunosuke pushed his chair away from the table and cocked his next toward the sky. It was a beautiful day, such a celebration deserved such a day as this. He smiled with his lips as he looked back down to his table. He saw his dirtied plates and scooped them up. A waiter had quickly saw this and took them from Tetsunosuke's hands, apologizing instantly. Tetsu insured them it was OK, and not to worry. "Now that I'm done eatin'... What's there to do 'round here?" Tetsunosuke mumbled to himself, peeking over to Hei. He shook the idea off, "Where's Kurihara-kun, dang it." He murmured. A sick feeling arose in the pit of his stomach. Kyo's Reiatsu, the one he had been keeping tabs on all day had changed just now. But to top that off, an Arrancar's Reiatsu was felt over head. A large amount of sweat had formed on his brow. His head shot up to see Zenos' pebbles falling toward the ground like ice in a storm; but would hit harder. Tetsunosuke watched as Steel Spears plummeted toward the ground, aiming to skewered the earth asunder. An easy dodge for Tetsunosuke as he danced through the spears with a Shunpo. The quick succession Flash Steps landed him a few yards away from his previous standing point. A back drop of red hue fell over everything as the Gillian class Hollows began to fire their Cero shots. Tetsunosuke was in range of one; he took Sakuzen Kosshi out of the back of his clothes - only the sword. It became endowed with bone as he concentrated his Reiryoku into it. In all one swift motion, he had taken a fighting stance, the blade had extended already and was become double bladed and serrated. "Fushi Kenjutsu... Hone Ken." He shot the blade forward in a slicing motion, it first dug into the earth, tearing it some -knocking grass into the air. The blade made contact with the Cero blast, slicing it in half in one clean cut. The blade was still extending as it cut the Hollow that had fired the blade at him. An Adjuchas level Menos soon appeared behind him, thoughts of going unnoticed must have filled the head of the Hollow as it plummeted a fist to Tetsunosuke's back. Tetsunosuke snapped the end of his sword's bone and moved it with his right hand to shot backwards to pieces the hollow's hand. Going through like butter, Tetsunosuke moved his body in time to feel the wind of the would be oncoming punch. He sliced upwards once again and drew the blade out of the Hollow's hand and arm. The blade had gone all the way up to its shoulder. Blood unleashed itself onto the once beautiful garden as Tetsu leaped into the air, "Haien." A malice filled voice came from Tetsu's words as his spelled unleashed a purple flame that would incinerate the Hollow to death.
A sigh escaped him as he immediately and wordlessly went into Shikai, his sword changing it's hilt in size along with the natural length of its blade. Hollows had emerged unto his spot, attempting to strategically surround him. The kept their space between him as they began to each charge a Cero. The five large humanoid Hollows each were suddenly struck by a bone that pierced from underneath them, each having their heads skewered and the Cero Blast prematurely exploding, leaving a broken apart bone tip. Their bodies vanished as Tetsunosuke turned his sights to find Zenos. The Arrancar had been fighting Ciel it seemed. Who was surprisingly holding up against him. The in-flight Zenos, but his mind wasn't settled on that. 'Kurihara-kun... why is your Vampire in control?' Tetsunosuke's mind was distracted. His vision was settled on Zenos.
Tetsunosuke was snapped free of his thoughts as multiple Resurreccións were felt. The reiatsu made him glare upwards once more. The darkened area, Tetsunosuke felt unsafe. He immediately went air born, pushing off the unsettled ground into the air. As his air was pushed down by the velocity of his leap, he peered upward to watch where he was going, the Sephira's Paths had unleashed a hailstorm of Bala blast. Nanashi had become between the storm of Bala, using his Bankai to fend off the blast. Tetsunosuke stopped himself, and sealed his Shikai, he watched Nanashi rebound the attacks to the Arrancar and her paths. A smirk came over him as he watched in amazement of his powers. Hibiki's dramatic released caught Tetsu's sight as Hibi' was aiming to deal with the infestation problem. He sent a lot of the hollows to their judgment. Tetsunosuke looked back quickly to the Arrancar, it'd appeared their allies had shown up and defended them. Which caused Tetsu to curse under his breath. Tsukiko used her ability over gravity to cancel the Negación, Tetsu wasn't surprised at her ability to do so. Once again, the wave of Bala were heading toward the Arrancars. Tetsunosuke stabbed Sakuzen Kosshi forward, he was about maximum distance his sword could travel, but he thought he would try anyways. The boned blade shot forth, hurling toward Sakuya as she stood by her Paths. With much precision, he had aimed the blade to take her neck off. The vertically placed blade had traveled through the Bala blast, being strong enough to not be diverted any. This was his first attack on a potential deadly opponent.
◤ ((To clarify- Tetsu is in the air, about the same height as Sakuya and her paths, and is using Fushi Kenjutsu: Hone Enchō to try and cut Sakuya's neck))

__[666]__⌠ H i d e k i < ⌂ 朱 出 来 […] 得 血 ろ ⌂ > U c h i r o ⌡ ▬▬▐ J ŭsanB a ntai Taichō Feeling: G a m e T i m e ? "Truth is simply a conception..."
Hideki had just finished playing his pieces when his right eye moved to the commotion that had been going on between Aurelius and another man he did not know well. This bothered him little, and he simply pushed the piano bench backwards with his thighs and stood placing his hands on the top of the piano as he did so. He then turned on point, moving his hands to his sides, and bowed, whether or not any saw this was up to them and was merely a formality on Hideki's part. He came up from the bow when he felt an immense pressure envelope the area. Hideki's eyes widened with the feeling and then his brow furrowed to a grimace of distaste. At the wedding? Who would do such a thing...knowing full well... Hideki's thoughts fell short as his head flung to the sky only to see a rain of steel falling to him. His immediate thought was every one else's well being, strangely enough, but he acted to save his own and dodged the first one to come down towards him, shifting backwards. After this shift, another was on its way, causing him to twist to the right, open his legs, allowing the pole to land between them, and then grabbing that pole, bending backwards, to avoid yet another one.
He lifted himself from his curved position and lifted to the top of on of the poles, balancing on his toes. His formal wear shoes made this a more than difficult feat, but he performed well. He followed Zenos' movements with one eye while the other processed everything else, allowing him to pinpoint where Zenos was after his initial attack was finished. This, too, however was interrupted by the appearance of Gillian and Adjuchas, as well as Sakuya and her deranged knights. Hideki decided to fend off some of the Gillian first, as they would become bothersome in larger numbers, and pushed off his pole, doing a twisting flip into the air before vanishing from sight.
He would reappear just before the Gillian's Garganta, around the time Nanashi would stop the Bala from reaching anybody, and would lift his right and left arms in a crossing movement in front of him. His fingers would contort and then pull back as his palm spiraled open to make way for two cannons. Hideki frowned just as he did this, mumbling, "This was one of the nicer of my suits..." Soon after his sighed remark, the sleeves of his suit would rip from place as The cannons rapidly gathered reishi. Just seconds after his suit would be ruined, small bursts of medium sized beams would fly from Hideki's hands, moving to the face of every Gillian targeted. Hideki would softly glide through the numbers, rolling, or rather twirling in a fluid motion, around their massive curl toed stomps, all the while shooting them in the masks with his beams, cracking them from the dense beam.
After ridding an entire 40 or so Gillian that continued to rush through the gargantas, Hideki lifted off the ground only to execute a front flip and land on his two feet, right next to each other, his arms out to the sides, as if on a cross. He would then bend at the knee and push off the ground, his legs pulsing with a blue static energy, and fly into the air, whistling, before turned to find many Adjuchas killing of innocents. His attention turned to them and he was on them with in seconds, his foot shoved into one and shoving away as he climbed toward the second one. Hideki had now pocketed his hands, and was using leverage and his legs to cause damage to the forces. He would fluidly move from one to the other, executing many Muai Thai moves, all that came naturally to him, as well as improvised kicking. This was going to be a long battle, this much apparent to Hideki; he wanted to conserve energy.
"...Where nothing is in stone."

1190  ┏──────────────┓ xxΖenos Λthanasius xx[Immortal Stranger] xxxxαπό το έδαφος ┗──────────────┛ Malchut Sephira - Being of Lowliness
Hardly expecting the Lieutenant to react so quickly, or for that matter hurl him a hundred feet into the air, Zenos was momentarily caught off guard and only barely managed to right himself as he crashed into the ground. He landed on his right knee, his left leg bent close to ninety degrees before he rose to his feet in time to hear Ciel respond in his native tongue. Zenos shot him a blank look, if only to reassure him that he was still paying attention. He recognized his fighting style instantly; Aikido which was a martial art that focused on redirecting the attacks of the opponents rather than opposing them head on. Considering Ciel had chosen to use Aikido rather than punch Zenos in the gut, Zenos surmised he was very physically weak. Dusting himself off in a very calm manner, Zenos cocked his head to the side just in time to watch the Lieutenant release his Zanpakutō which formed, of all things, a book and a pen. Zenos would not lie that this act came as a shock to him, even causing his mouth to slide every so slightly open in surprise. It was barely noticeable, but it was there. After Ciel had spoken some choice words, he couldn't help but notice the effects of his abilities activate.
First and foremost, though he had no idea the runes had appeared on his tongue, he felt as though his brain had been instantly hardwired to speak the names of his attacks. The next thing to take notice of was the spherical runes that spiraled around him before vanishing into thin air. Zenos wasn't stupid, so he quickly assumed there to be a barrier of sorts and extended his fine-tuned Pesquisa to wash over the black-haired boy, Finding nothing, Zenos picked up one of the spears he had thrown and lunged forward, appearing just outside the area while still "falling" towards it, stabbing toward the area he had seen earlier with the spear. At first, there was absolutely no resistance, lading him to believe he was good to go, but his finger slipped into the sphere, the runes flashed over it's surface and he suddenly felt as though he was decked in the face by the hand of God himself. In an abrupt change of direction, Zenos soon found himself flying across the garden, and into the pond, creating a tremendous splash upon his entrance.
All of a sudden, Zenos realized that he had no idea when he was doing here, like his memories had been wiped clean by some unnatural force. As he floated towards the bottom, Zenos tried desperately to remember what it is he was in a lake for, or for that matter, what he was even supposed to be doing today. He could not recall getting orders from Ori, yet he couldn't recall not getting them either. Opening his mouth to ask himself "where was I?", only bubbles could be heard by his ears as air and garbled noises were expelled from his lips. Finally touching the muddy bottom of the lake, Zenos caused the lake to turn black as he rotated onto his feet and kicked up, rocketing his body into the air where he landed safely on the ground he had torn up earlier with his spheres. After that, because Zenos was quite clever, he needed only to look around the decide what he should be doing. His spears were everywhere, so he must have attacked; Ciel was the closest individual to him, so he must be his opponent. His was in his Resurrección, so he must have had to stop pulling his punches in order to beat him. This was getting ridiculous- it should not take him so long to put a Lieutenant in his place. It seemed a year of not fighting decent opponents- none of the other Sephira had measured up to his standards- had dulled his senses. Now thoroughly annoyed by the tenacity of one Shinigami, Zenos lifted his right hand, extended his pointer finger, and flicked his aim to settle on Ciel. Concentrating his vast Reiryoku into his index finger, he began to force a jet-black Cero to form at it's tip. Zenos looked uncaring and distant just before the moment of release, and a second prior proceeded to speak the name of his attack, though he didn't really know why he was doing so. "Σκοτάδι μηδέν" Instantly he felt his power dwindle while the feelings he had come to associate with his release instantly vanished. The feeling of his Titanium Skin over his chest was gone and the feeling of being able to actually feel any earthen material in the vicinity vanished alongside each other. His Cero Oscuras was fired, but since his Resurrección was sealed just as it was released, the power was reduced to a mere Cero that had the ability turn all exposed light into absolute pitch darkness.
His shock was characterized by both the widening of his eyes and opening of his lips to convey and expression of absolute shock. The spears he had created vanished into thin air as their ties to him were no more. Zenos was nearly at his breaking point- he was very annoyed that he had been tricked not once, but twice by a mere Lieutenant. As far as Zenos was concerned, Ciel better wash his neck and prepare to die, because he had just made it personal. His Resurrección was gone, that much was certain, but he still had many a powerful weapon on his side, namely his monstrous strength and other assortment of hollow abilities. Lifting his hand to draw a Garganta, he realized that he was no longer able to do so, which he quickly related to the hypersonic wave he had experienced a minute prior. Breathing a frustrated sigh, Zenos managed to collect his thoughts and emotions which very rarely showed themselves, and without wasting any further time, touched his thumbs together and moved to Ciel's right, leaving behind an afterimage. Once he was to the Lieutenant's right, Zenos directed his finger which had a dull grey spread on it, indicating that he was forming a Gran Rey Cero yet again. Instead of firing it right away, Zenos held the potent Cero back and instead moved above him, then to his right, then to his back where he released the actual Cero itself, but quickly formed another one as he appeared to Ciel's front just as the Cero left his finger, the purpose being to keep Ciel trained on the Cero in his hand and make him think one had not been released. The multiple feints had the purpose of making a pattern of keeping the Cero at bay, even though it proved to be a false pattern, in Ciel's mind, it was not supposed to be. "Μεγάλος βασιλιάς μηδέν" A half second later, he released the second Gran Rey Cero, using it as an added attack along with a distraction. Yet again he had to speak the names of his cero before he used them, however, on the first Gran Rey Cero, he merely whispered it. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄[Realistic fights are fun. I just wish half of you would do stuff like this. 3nodding ]

Tadashi Sakamoto
9th Division Lieutenant The situation was no longer just a battle against a few Hollows accompanied by a tough Arrancar. It was already clear that this was the prelude of a long and bloody battle, foreshadowing an even greater war. Tadashi felt Bankais activated all around him, as well as spikes of spiritual pressure that could only be the Sephira's Resurrecciones. Reluctantly, Tadashi decided that picking off Gillians and Adjuchas wouldn't cut it anymore - he had to use his Bankai. He knew he couldn't avoid it, of course, but the physical toll was murderous on his body if he were to remove Tenma's daytime limiter. On top of that, he didn't even have Bankai for over a year, and most people needed decades to use theirs with ease. Putting the claw Tenma up and placing his other hand in a ready position, he took a deep breath and readied himself.
"Bankai - Kurimuzonmūnraito Nyūyoku Tenma." A sphere of blackness surrounded Tadashi for a moment, and then washed away, leaving behind some of itself to shape the additional things that came with Bankai. First, the crossbow - it began as a shapeless blob and formed itself into an ethereal version of the shooting weapon on his left hand. Then were the extensions to Tenma's claws. They began as blackness, then became the natural steel that came with a katana. Lastly, there was a black cloak that appeared to replace Tadashi regular clothing, though the hood was down. Some Bankai's were powerful attacks - others were transformations. Tadashi's was a transformation of sorts that would allow him to move at incredible speeds. The Bankai also accomadated his aptitude for Kido, the crossbow serving as an amplifier for all Hado. IT was also very versatile - he could remove the crossbow and even switch the hands that held the weapons.
The first thing Tadashi did while he was on the ground was activate Jiko no Kage no Sōsa, an ability which brought his very shadow to life (to match his current form) and served as a portable impaler that could move on any surface and strike from below the ground or from walls. It would do little against Gillian, but the smaller Adjuchas would be picked off slowly by the surprise attacks. The shadow itself could act independantly, leaving Tadashi free to do something seperate. Tadashi did not yet notice, though, that the lesser Hollows were no longer attacking moving targets but rather random structures and simply wreaking havoc.
Looking up at Sakuya's group of knights, Tadashi instantly decided they would be a suitable target for the Kido crossbow. Though their attack had been nullified, they were still a threat if given the opportunity to use such a devastating technique. Equipping his Sniper Eye, Tadashi took careful aim from his position on the ground and murmured," Hadō #88: Hiryūgeki Zoku Shinten Raihō." With the way he aimed, Tadashi knew that if the knights stayed in their exact same position, all of them would probably get hit. And not only was the Hado powerful on its own, it was both focused by a proficient user of Kido and its strength was magnified two-fold by the Kido Zofuku ability of the crossbow.
After the Hado had been cast, Tadashi immediately flash-stepped away, picking off Menos and Adjuchas quickly as he waited to see the result of his attack. He was simply moving now as not to be found out instantly as being the one who'd fired the attack.
