Welcome to Gaia! ::

About time he got out. Captain Iles had been stuck in that musty Seretei forever now. He was a Captain so barely ever got to have fun anymore. This time though, He had cashed in a favor. It was a beautiful day to do just that. Blue skies you could get lost in, huge white clouds, and tons of hollows. With a slight grin, Captain Iles crouched on the roof of the town's governmental building. Scanning the surrounding area, he didn't see any of the hollows. There wasn't even a blip on his radar. Something was wrong.
Suddenly the sky ripped open behind him, A large black figure emerged from the rip, the sky looked as if it was a computer screen and the pixels were going crazy. Menos. With a swirling leap, The captain launched himself high into the air, landing soundly on the tip of the Menos' nose.

"Where are your buddies?" He asked with a coy smile.

The menos roared, letting out a wierd metallic clang of a noise. Suddenly red light erupted from it's mouth. Tossing it's head back and forth trying to remove the passenger standing on his mask. He continued to spout off cero blasts not realizing he couldn't hit the captain.
A content grin appeared on the Captain's face. He put his hand on the hilt of his Zanpaktou. He removed it from the sheath and swiftly cut the air two times. The captain then jumped back onto the Governmental building. The Menos' mask suddenly split into six pieces, and it's body began to fall apart in multiple place and evaporate. For some reason the captain still felt ill at ease.

"Something still isn't right here," He said to himself.

Jumping down he began to search for the other Shinigami who had come with him.

Lukas was leaping from rooftop to rooftop, looking left and right. Something was definitely wrong alright. They had brought a load of shinigami with them and only a faint few were left. Picking up the speed, he suddenly appeared next to Kasuki, running along side her. Although there was something off in the air, Lukas had a wry grin on his face.

"Well Captain Nichel, Looks like this thing is going to get interesting. I'm not sensing but a few of the shinigami we brought with us." A shot of intense Reiatsu passed through the air, "Wait."

He stopped in midair, and grabbed the other captains arm. He began to look around warily. A deadly seriousness passed across his visage. He let go of Kasuki and put a hand on the white hilt of his zanpaktou. His knuckles whitened as he gripped it tightly, and tilted it to a drawing stance.

"Get ready Captain. Arrancar."

The third arrancar stepped slowly out of the gaping black hole with a wry smile on his face. “Looks like we’ve got some vermin that need to be taken out,” muscular arrancar said watching the other two split up before landing on the ground. The arrancar’s mask began on his right eye and wrapped around to the back of his head where one large spike was located. He yelled to his two comrades “You’re taking to long, screw it I’ll finish this,” he opened his mouth as wide as he could letting the energy build and a bright red light form in front of his face. It launched toward the male captain “I hope you enjoy my Cero shinigami.” The muscular arrancar threw his head back laughing uncontrollably. "You two better hurry if you want what’s left of the shinigami in this town, after all those captains are finished since I'm here.” He threw his head back and began to laugh to himself once more.

The arrancar’s laughing was replaced be an angry scowl as he watched the captain deflect his cero. Then as if he didn’t witness it he began to laugh again “So, you wish to be the first to die by my hands shinigami,” asked the masked man. “Well I would be more than happy to fulfill your wish,” and then the muscular arrancar drew his zanpakuto. Despite the muscular arrancar’s ignorant look and arrogant attitude he placed himself in a skilled stance. “You won’t survive this even if you are a captain,” the arrancar then charged forward with both hands griping the hilt of his blade. “Now die and let me continue our slaughter worm,” screamed the heavily built arrancar. He swung at the captain’s right shoulder bringing it down with all his might. His face turned to a fierce smile looking as if he wished to be covered in the shinigami’s blood.

Kasuki whirled around to find that Captain Iles engaged in battle with one of the Arrancar. She narrowed her eyes as she tried to locate the other two that split up from the larger Arrancar.

She quickly grabbed the hilt of her katana and wrenched it from the hilt. Jumped jump up to fight beside Lukas, driving the giant hollow back. "Why are they here?" Kasuki shouted to Lukas as she did a backflip to dodge a blow from the arrancar.

The large muscular arrancar rubbed his head where the captain had thumped him. “You’re not going to get away with that shinigami,” said the large arrancar as he sheathed his zanpakuto. He then noticed the other captain and a bead of sweat travel down his bald head. He began to smile a second later “Looks like I’ll get to kill two birds with one stone.” He sonidoed past the captains appearing behind them giving him the perfect opportunity, “Bala.” A wave of Balas erupted from his fists heading straight at the captains. He fiercely continued the attacks for several seconds before he stopped lifting his hand to his mouth and giving a long low whistle. Suddenly three more large black holes ripped the sky open and the heads of Menos appeared in each one. They broke through and stepped into the human world preparing to take the lives of all the shinigami. “The large bald arrancar began what seemed to be his trademark laughter.
