One of the four sections of the Rukongai, an area that surrounds the Seireitei. When a spirit is released from Earth they end up in one of the four districts. But because of the confusion and random placement it is rare to meet up with your family or friends again. Districts are numbered one through eighty based on their distance away from the Seireitei. The first district is the safest, Shinigami often patrol these areas and some still live in the lower numbered districts. As you move further out from the center things become more lawless though. Gangs inhabit the outer districts of the Rukongai. But even in the best areas of the Rukongai life is far from easy, people have to truly work just to make a living. Very few Shinigami choose to venture out into the Rukongai unless they are in a patrol party.

Percy moved deftly through the pressing crowd of the Eastern Rukongai. Many of the faces here were familiar to them, and Percy even recalled the names of a few of the merchants and even beggers that he passed. This was one of the busiest sections of the Eastern Rukongai district, and many people were about. Merchants called their wares out, they voices a drop in a storm of sound. It was in these crowded locations that Percy often felt he had the most privacy. When you are one face in a crowd, you go largely unnoticed. Percy shamelessly watched people as he made his way through the city. Most were normal citizens, going about their business. Percy spied a gang tough man, arms crossed, guarding a door. Percy assume this door led to a seedy brothel, a gambling house, or an opium den (or some combination of those three). Percival payed no mind to the likely-illegal activities that were going on. That was a battle that the Seretei would lose.
Instead, Percy turned down an alley, out of the pressing crowd. He took a deep breath and began walking, counting doors. When he got to the fifth one, he knocked twice and entered.
Inside, it was dimly lit. Everything within the room Percy sat in was velvet or silk, the walls draped with crimson fabric that made him feel as if he were inside a large stuffed apple. There were no chairs, or even tables in this room, only cushions on the floor, and a small brass brazier for the burning of incense. Nobody knew of Percy's visits to lady Faewen, and he intended to keep it that way. He looked through the blinds more than once before the seer entered.
Lady Faewen was peculiar as any self-proclaimed seer could be. She was tall an slender, like a stick fallen from a wind-blown tree. Her skin was sickly pale, with a greenish tint, leaves and vines woven into her hair. Her eyes were unnaturally large, pools of piercing blue always watching, always weighing, piercing through whatever they came to rest upon. It was these blue eyes that came to rest upon Percival, sitting before her.
"The hour grows late and a great battle is won. He should be celebrating and istead he comes to seek sge wisdom from Faewen of the twilight. She wonders if she has the answers that he seeks, and if he should hear them in any case... And yet... His heart is heavy, and his path is hidden from him. He seems to need help, and Lady Faewen is sworn to help those who need it. Especially when so much is at stake..."
Her voice was light and high, like the wind gently caressing the hanging leaves of a willow tree. Her eyes never rested, going from one eye to the other, to the mouth, to a space just behind Percy. She seemed to be endlessly searching, but for what, Percy did not know.
"The other day, after the battle, when Animus let me go, I saw Hiro... I saw him as clearly as I see you now. I know I was unconscious, but he spoke to me. He told me I should try to find a place on the Gotei Thirteen..."
Faewen regarded Percival for a moment, before gusting forward, her eyes within an inch of Percy's.
"As the weariness of battle overwhelms him, the comforting words of an old teacher warm his heart and temper his spirit. He comes to Faewen when a sage appears to him of its own. Lady Faewen sees what this Hiro sees. Percival is the descendent of a tyrant, but he is greater than that. He will save many lives, or take them. The choice is his. He will lead, one way or the other. The leaves have spoken"
::-:: Achana Sonozaki and Lilith Sonozaki ::-:: - LethalLovers -
Achana and Lilith had arrived in the Eastern Rukongai with two new bodies from the flames and wreckage of the Sparring Arena. Azazel and Belial, their two new corrupted companions. They looked similar to Achana, but had their differences, being the lack of mask fragment or Hollow hole, but complete corruption seeped from them. They were certainly Hollow entities, and even had zanpakuto, granted, empty and void of power, but still their own. "Alright, girls. Loot, pillage, and for gods sake, don't forget the ra...well..you know what I mean.", she said with a wicked grin as she made some lewd gestures. She had no qualms about ordering her Fraccion to take part in violating the innocent and destroying the weak. This was their punishment for not evolving and becoming stronger under the Jokaisho Pillar's influence. True horror and terror would not be fully understood until the Soul Society was left burning. The scarlet harlot of Bablyon the Great was here to bring ruin to her enemies, and the followers were her prophets, spreading her divine destruction to the masses.
Lilith looked to Azazel and Belial before she snapped her fingers and pointed in the direction of a small cluster of houses. "You heard the mistress, get to destroying, looting, and well...you know..", she said as she mimicked Achana's gestures. "And do not forget, I out-rank the hell out of you two...hmph!", she added indignantly. She was not keen on competition for Achana's affections, but she knew well that no single person could ever keep the Espada prospect to themselves exclusively. Lust and debauchery went hand in hand, and thus with it came the freedom of polyamory. Lilith then shrugged and looked to one house that, she could tell people were cowering in from their spiritual energy, and she simply fired a single bala through one of the supports on the roof. This caused the roof of the house to collapse inward, likely pinning and trapping anyone inside, if not killing them outright. "They make this way too easy...", she remarked in a bored manner. "Now with two more, we're not going to get to have any fun, Mistress.", the white haired Arrancar added. Azazel and Belial looked to each other, before the two grinned in unison at Lilith and they approached her before leaning in and kissing her on either side of her cheek. "Worry not, Lilith-san, we will not steal your thunder...merely amplify it.", they spoke together. It seemed that each one took a turn saying a word, so it was hard to tell which one was speaking. They might as well have been one entity. The corrupted beings turned on the houses of the peasants of the Eastern District and grinned as they dashed into one, and began to punch out the supports. "Let us follow Lilith-san's example, Belial.", Azazel said to her counter-part. "Really bringing the house down, Azazel~.", the other of the twin soul said with a devious grin as she mirrored Aza's actions. This was just the beginning of something horrid.

Sakura Sanada
The young Shinobi knew her mission, secure the pillar which fell on the Northern Rukongai, but now that was bigger threat at hand. The same reiatsu pressure that had attacked the northern Rukongai had now come back and began to attack once more. "Ever since that damned pillar fell we have had nothing but troubles." She would say aloud to her zanpaku-tou spirit in her blade. She knew her spirit would be in its daily meditations so she didn't expect an answer in response to her. Still, there was a feeling of dread washing over her, as she approached the multiple Espada class presence hanging about her home district, the East. She was surprised at the lack of Shinigami already responding to this threat, but she figured they were all fighting to secure that pillar. It wasn't long before she could see the troop of Hollow, and Hollow kin. Her blood ran cold as she drew in her spiritual power, but letting it explode outward with her Shunko activating. If Sakura was going to win this, she was going to have to burn hard and fast even then she hoped to merely stall them to another showed up to fight. Leaping through the air she tries her best to make contact with what appeared to be the leading Hollow's neck with her spiritually enhanced foot.
::-:: Achana Sonozaki and Lilith Sonozaki ::-:: - LethalLovers -
Achana could feel the energy from Sakura even as she kept a damper on it. She did nothing to react to the fact that she felt the ninja coming from a long way off as she periodically used Pesquisa to get a bearing on the situation, like a spiritual radar. The red queen was more interested in seeing how her Fraccion would react to the possibility of a little play toy. "Things should start heating up soon...", she muttered.
Then it happened, the activation of Shunko and the rush of spirit energy, Achana suddenly felt alive as she blurred and side-stepped Sakura's attack, leaving her to impact with the ground before she reappeared outside the likely resulting crater from the attack with her arms folded. "Sneaky, but not quite enough for me. They sent an assassin to deal with me instead of a Captain? What a slap to the face~.", Achana remarked playfully as her Fraccion all dropped what they were doing and came over to join their mistress in examining Sakura and sizing her up.
Azazel and Belial immediately started to jump up and down as they realized what was happening. "Lilith! Let Lady Lilith break her neck! Please? Please? Entertain us~.", they said in an odd tone, as they spoke in unison. They were twins and the evil that was taking place there was soon to come to a crescendo. "I don't want to freaking break her neck...", Lilith muttered. "I want to impale her head on a spear and lob it at the Gotei's walls for trying to touch Achana!!", she roared as she picked her scythe up and started to walk forward, only to be stopped by the very mistress she was going to defend. A hand rested on the Fraccion's shoulder and pulled her back in line. "No no, let's let her try that again... Or maybe shape up with some diplomacy? Give me something valuable and we'll leave. Make an offer...", she said with a voice as sweet and poisoned as ever...her aura activating now as those within her sphere of influence would no longer be willing to strike her unless their resistance was primed.

Zero entered the eastern district from the northern district. The pillar was secured when he had left the area, and hopefully things stayed that way. As he approached closer the presence felt all too familiar. It was of the thing that made him retreat before. "Ugh.. that's just my luck." he would mutter to himself. 'Meowster, I don't like this. It's spooky.' his little robotic cat friend would speak in his mind. She had stayed on his shoulder since they left the northern district. To be honest, he was thankful for her continued presence. As he got closer he could see Sakura who had managed to miss her mark. Jeez for a ninja she didn't have the best footing. This was the second time he caught the ninja in a not so graceful situation. As the red queen began to speak about diplomacy he stepped in and spoke up. After all, he highly doubted little miss golden spoon was going to even entertain the thought, or she would be all for it. Either way he didn't think Sakura was going to be helpful, but it would be nice if she was. "Looks like you're in the wrong neighborhood again." he would speak up. He was careful to keep his distance. Not that it did him much good last time, but it was still his best option. "I don't mean to intrude, but you want something valuable? What do you want?" he would ask somewhat curiously.
Lucy arrives on the scene with Zero as she looks back thinking about the pillar, along with Tomoko and Isabella. The patients that were being treated in that area Lucy had hoped would stay that way along with Isabella. Isabella is Lucy's love after all and Lucy hopes to return to Isabella very soon after this is dealt with. The way it looks, the shinigami women Sakura attacked without warning against the Arrancar group she had sensed; the one with the long black hair seems to be their leader; as she is strongest which she keeps her distance as well along with Zero. Lucy wishes to not cause any further aggitate what was already caused by Sakura. Lucy could hear Zero mutter but didn't know what the words were, too quiet which Lucy notes. Lucy though hears him say to the lady like he knows her and must of seen things like this before. The next thing that popped up was about something valuable being tossed to the Arrancar lady. Lucy even had her scythes put away before showing up to show not being hostile; but yet she memorizes where her scythes are so if she needs to quickly draw them, she can do so. Lucy didn't say anything as for her being quiet is the best thing at this point as she is only following Zero's lead and has a med kit just in case things go south. Though Lucy hopes nothing goes wrong as she listens to Zero and keeps her ears open for the words that will be exchanged. 262 words x 2[Winter]=524 x 1.7=891 words+ 2163 words[Last Post From Northern District]=3,054 words
Hoping that she wasn't too late, Natsumi was making a B line straight into Eastern Rukongai. She knew as long as the Sanada Clan existed there that nothing terrible would happen to the denizens, but these presences were strong, very strong. It made her blood boil thinking about the intense fight that all of Soul society had before it from these threats. "Sorry, if I am late." She would state as she flash steps in along Zero. Sadly, it seemed other Shinigami had appeared before her, to have their share, though only one of them seemed to be fighting? Everyone else either just stood there watching or was waiting their turn like it was a tournament. Natsumi would release her spear and rest it across her shoulders, "Um...we aren't just Lady Sakura fight 4 opponents at once are we?" She looked towards the red haired captain then to the woman dual wielding scythes as if for an answer, but it doesn't last long. Soon she flash steps into range of the Arrancar dressed in white with her spear at the ready. "Well lets even the odds~ Two on Four sounds fair!" The Eleventh division member wasn't much for the tactical approach, though she knew her opponents out matched her, but she had to do something to help Lady Sakura in her fight against these Hollows.
It wasn't too much of a surprise that her Shunko infused kicked was dodged so easily but the Vasto Lorde level Hollow. A grin would cross her face as she watched each of those followers react to her failed attack, it was then she released the weak point of one. The Fraccion dressed in white, wielding a large scythe had to be held back by her mistress. He anger would be an easy point to exploit, and to take her down. As if her attack hadn't missed before, Sakura stands and readies herself with Zanpaku-tou in hand. A soft laugh crossed her lips as a Hollow asked for some diplomacy, and stated she would take something of value in order exchange of leaving; to just make an offer. "I wouldn't guess you'd accept your own life for trade, would you?" The young teen Shinigami taunted, as she glanced over the four opponents before her. 'Can I really take all four of them at once?' She would think to herself as she felt a chill run up her spine. Her normal method of fighting might be harder to pull off with multiple opponents, but she would sure as hell try it. Several familiar presences would be felt in the area, and as Sakura looks over she can spot Zero, now sporting his Captain haori, a new Shinigami following suit; maybe his squadie, and the daughter of her gate guards, Natsumi. She was happy to not be alone, though the fight may still fall to being a three on four, but with the extra allies Sakura knew her survival chances were higher. A soft nod was all the young vice captain gave as she held her blade steady with a new found resolve. Her eyes would roll slightly as she heard the new captain speak up of how the Arrancar was in the wrong neighborhood again, but then asked what she would want in exchange for leaving. "If there is something we have, that she wants then that is all the more reason not to allow her to have it, Zero!" Sakura would speak up before Natsumi would flash step on the field before her. It wasn't a surprise that the eleventh division Shinigami would be itching for a fight, but it made Sakura wince each time the other girl referred to her as 'Lady' as if she was actually some royal.
Quickly and easily, Sakura would shake it off as she began to move once more she would use her flash step to enhance her speed before forming three more of herself moving around the group of Hollow-kin. She was hoping this would be enough to make her vanish to the senses of those not keeping up with her. Each of the copies mimicked her perfectly, even as she swung her blade down. The force was so great that one could audibly hear the weapon cutting through the air, but it was to no avail as the young teen had not been in range for the attack of her spiritually charged blade to strike any of the invaders to the Rukongai.She would keep moving even after the attack trying to not allow her momentum die down. The vice-captain knew she needed to keep moving as if she stopped then the Arrancar and her followers would have a field day with her.
Passively Activated Maai: Opponent's with less SP than Sakura's own SP +20 can not hide their presence or set off traps within her aura. [2 SE per Post] Realm of Nothingness: If an opponent doesn't have more SP than Sakura's SP +40, they are unable to track her by any means outside of a physical line of sight. If her Spd is higher than her opponent's then they lose track of her the first time she uses a movement technique, or one that obscures their view. [4 SE per Post]
Activated Momentum: When Sakura attacks, she can pay to increase her attack with a [Momentum Counter]. Each counter increases the attack power of her abilities by +5, while if her speed is higher than her opponents they lose -2 Clarity. Up to five [5] counters can be placed, and if Sakura wishes she can willingly lower her counter count. [1 SE per Counter] - [1/5 Counter] After Image Assault: If the opponent's Int or Def [whichever is higher] is lower than Sakura's Spd, then their speed is reduced by -15 when determining their reaction to this attack during the Clarity calculation [Atk Speed - Clarity = X vs (Spd -15)]. [+2 SE to cost] Shunpo [Flash Step]: Spd +15 = Movement Speed [1 SE]
Attack Mumyo Jinpuu Ryuu Satsujin Ken - Mizuchi: Creates a 'blade' of pressurized air that moves at Sakura's Spd +10, and has a power of her Str +15. These blades can remain in the air for later use at the cost of -5 power per post left unused, while remaining hidden to those with less Int than Sakura's Int +5. [1/3] [Attack Speed: 110] - [Attack Power: 145] [45 Int :Needed to see the attack]

Achana blinked as Sakura decided to come forth from the disgrace of her failed assassination attempt to the effect of trying to confuse her. Her pesquisa simply allowed her to keep her eyes on her as she evaded Lilith's vision, but the Red Queen was having none of the attack coming for her from the Shunko Powered ninja and the audacity of the Eleventh Division officer, Natsume. "FINE! If you resist me, you will fall!", Achana roared as her Fraccion fell back and she flickered at the speed of a sonido backward, before she aimed a hand up and leveled it at Sakura and Natsume, them being in close proximity of each other...
... This all seemed so familiar. Had Achana killed people like this in the Rukongai before? It did not matter to her at this point as she gathered her cero energy into her grasp, yet the souls of those she had consumed were inside of her, wailing at the sight, even if at the back of her subconscious.
The cero then roared forth with the terrible ferocity the Espada level, Vasto Lorde Class Arrancar was capable of as it expanded to cover an explosive range to encompass Sakura and Natsume. "Cero Tormenta!", the red queen called out as the red and black storm of Hollow energy exploded in an attempt to consume them both in it's unholy fury. If it did not kill them outright, it would at least get the message across.

Lucy being a Kido master that she is, she witnesses more of the attack that Natsumi and Sakura do. Lucy had hoped that Achana herself would kick them off to the side since she can tell, they are no threat to her. However despite all the dodges that Achana appears to do, they only continue their assault trying to take her down which she witnesses her speaking in such seriousness. Lucy feels the spiritual pressure of Achana as she roars with her Fraccion backing off. Lucy was feeling something, it was like something was humming but it was getting louder as the hand of Achana rose upon Natsumi and Sakura palm out. Lucy however with her being a Kido master, she crunched her teeth together thinking"Darn it!, get away from there!" Lucy then quickly grabs Zero as she flash steps bringing them further away from the attack. Lucy doesn't know how big the impact of the cero could have, but with Zero being a high ranked person as he is, it would be a bad blow if he died on the battlefield. Lucy though examines her spirit energy she has left, she still has plenty but soon or later, she would have to deactivate her bankai. Lucy didn't plan to die on the field either but she knew that Sakura and Natsumi attacking as hard as they are, they are only going to only push the Arrancar to drop more attacks. Lucy also figured fighting such a strong foe like this one isn't the smartest move, to her its like chess, do you risk your pieces or do you take your time with your moves so that you may avoid too many mistakes. As much as she would fight Achana herself, she knew that day isn't today and it will be a long time before she herself would ever be a equal to her. Lucy though felt like she was talking herself down but Its the fact, she was no equal with the female arrancar that is attacking right now, the best option is to give the lady something and ask her to go home in return. It will save many lives and Lucy is willing to do what she can to get Achana to go home. Isabella was on the back of her mind, what if she died today? Would she be forever in sadness due to her death? Lucy thought about it and figured since they are dating, it would cause something tragic of the sort. Lucy then rose a bit keeping her distance from Achana's aura she can feel like its a barrier, but its one that can't be touched. "Listen, we need to get those two to calm down, fighting this lady is not the good option here. With me as a Kido master, i can feel the deeper power of this one and its not one to mess with. Lets do what we can to preserve lives and keep everyone safe. Think of it as chess, you must play your pieces right and if you play them wrong too many times, it will cost you your intended end result. Overall, your pieces will be lost as well, i am sure you already know that don't you, Vice Captain?" Lucy asked Zero with a serious tone to her voice as its proof in itself that Lucy knows just as much as Zero that another option then fighting this lady will be best to do. 578 words x 2=1,156 words x 1.7=1,965+ 3,504 words from last post calculation=5,469 words

Zero watched as things around him escalated rather quickly. Sakura scolded him for trying to reason with the enemy. "Do you even strategy?" he would say with a sigh. Apparently the ninja had never heard of putting up a false front. Another Sanada member would show up, and begin to help Sakura. The woman would even call the girl 'Lady Sakura.' It made him sick to his stomach. These two were not helping what he had planned at all, going in with full force when they didn't have the means to do so. "It makes sense, guess you never had to use your wits. I bet the only thing you have to think about is when mommy and daddy are going to pull the strings to get you that captain spot." he words were full of venom. It was an unusual sight for the happy go lucky 12th division to say such serious things. However he had enough of this. As expected, their continuing to fight had sent the arrancar into a frenzy. As the attack was launched Lucy had grabbed him, and pulled him away. The attack was not sent in his way, but hey her heart was in the right place. She would school him on chess, and try to talk some sense into him. "Hey hey, did you forget who you were talking to. Is there anyone smarter than me?" his tone would change when speaking to her. "This fight is now inevitable." he would say in a matter of fact tone. Lucy may technically be the weakest one there, but at least she had some sense. "Go get help. I've got this." he would say before starting to move where he was pulled from. "Oh and Thank you. You've got potential you know?" Zero would move back into motion, making haste to where Lucy had pulled him from.'This is a bad idea, meowster, but I'll do my best. Calm down a bit, don't let that girl get the best of you. We can do this' Elly would speak in his mind. The little robot kitty cat's words would get him back on track. He would stuff his hands in his pockets before looking over the ring leader of the freak parade. "So, tell me about yer mum." he would say in a somewhat playful voice.
Psychology - Tell me about your mother : Zero asks the target about their mother. If Zero's intelligence is higher than the target's, the target either tells zero about their mother, is inflicted with extreme anger, or is simply confused. While in this state the target is stunned, unable to perform offensive or defensive actions for two turns. If the target is attacked the stun is broken. Cost: 5 SE per initial use, and 3 SE per turn in effect. (For the love of god, do not attack Achana)
The young lady with twin tails would not find it much of a surprise as she felt the presence of Lady Sakura melt away into nothing to all her senses but sight. This was a technique she had seen the young mistress training with her father before as part of her art of assassination. Still, despite the speed in which the young lady moved, Natsumi still found it rather easy to keep up with her visually maybe due to all her training along side her. A smirk would form as she watched the ninja create a blade of air which seem to hang, invisibly to most, in the air till the shinobi would need to release it. However her pride in being able to see the blade nearly blinded her to the actions of the Arrancar that the Sanada heir engaged. The sudden build up of spiritual pressure was the first warning of something bad to come, and with a quick tap of her foot, Natsumi would use shunpo to flicker from sight, only to appear out of the blast range. Sakura did not seem to be so lucky, or it would so appear amongst the flash of black and red energy. Her gaze would fall back to Zero whom seemed to have pulled back as well as he spoke ill of the young mistress, and it took all she had not to snap back in the defense of the Sanada heir. She wouldn't remain silent as the captain spoke about the fight being inevitable now, "I only stepped in cause you, and that good for nothing lady with you were simply standing around as Lady Sakura faced off with four opponents. Have some pride, and stand up for something other than your own personal safety!" Natsumi would grind her armor clad boot into the soil after she spoke, only after realizes that she have just remained quit. Luckily it seemed that the Espada-Class Arrancar had at the least called her Fraccion off, though that might all change if the fight was pressed further. It also didn't bold well that they would seemingly have a divided front between them with Zero and Lucy standing aside to allow their comrades to be killed. Her attention would snap back to the fight as she looked over to Zero once more, this time asking the Vasto Lorde Arrancar about her mom? Seriously weird.
::-:: Achana Sonozaki and Lilith Sonozaki ::-:: - LethalLovers -
Achana Sonozaki grinned wide as her Cero Storm nearly killed Natsumi and Sakura. The message had been sent alright, and it was one of destruction and pain awaiting those who resisted. Then there was a brief pause in life as the Vasto Lorde Arrancar's attention had been caught by Zero. A strange feeling came over her as he asked her a question. It was as if there was some sort of psychological process to his manner of speaking that caused her to stop for a moment and tilt her head in mild confusion. "My mother? She was a prostitute. My father was the boss of the Sonozaki crime family...as soon as I became old enough, I killed the both of them and took my place as heiress of the family, leading it into a dark age of slaughter on the streets of Tokyo...Anyone crossed us, they got to deal with my goons...It's actually no different than what I do right now, except my goons can level this entire sector of the Rukongai.", she explained with confidence and a sick grin that might twist anyone's stomach in knots. It was clear she was pure evil, but Achana made it look so good at the same time.
Azazel and Belial, on the other hand, were not at all amused with Zero's tactic and they looked to each other before nodding. They were twin souls in communication and it seemed like a plan was being formed between the essences of lies and hatred. "Mistress is a little out of it..", Azazel said as she stepped forward while Achana spoke about the arbitrary past. "..So here is the deal. If you want us to leave...", Belial spoke up as she draped an arm around her 'sister's' shoulder. "..You will need to pay up. Jokaisho Shards, Soul-Infused Metal...Whatever, you've got, we will need ten units of either.", Az finished. The terms of the cease-fire had been set, now if they would take the group of intensely powerful Hollow beings up on their demands, that was up to them.
Lilith, on the other hand, was keen to keep quiet this time. The white haired Arrancar picked her teeth idly with a tooth-pick as she watched the twins step up and do their job as mouth-pieces when Achana was incapacitated. The fact that two prominent Soul Reapers had been injured badly by the Cero Storm attack only seemed to please her, but there was that part that made her want to instantly jump at Zero and rattle his little skull for even trying to mess with her Mistress. "Make sure you start coughing up the goods soon. I'm getting itchy, and when that happens...people die.", she said with narrowed eyes as she looked to Lucy now. She was obviously the weakest there, and snapping her neck would be so easy for the intensely powerful Fraccion.
While the Shinigami were making head-way with the impossible task before them, now came a decision that needed to be made. Pay the bribe, and get the Hollow to leave or risk more lives and the habitability of this sector of the Rukongai. They were already faced with the North being under constant attack due to the Pillar. Losing another quarter of the spiritual habitat would likely cause some severe issues with the balance of the peace that was tension-filled to the brim already at this point.

With a flare of reishi flooding the area from the Espada level opponent, Sakura was swept up within the Cero Storm that was cast upon the area, unable to escape the blast. She could feel, thanks to her Maai technique, that her friend Natsumi managed to avoid the raging blast of pure spiritual power. The resulting explosion threw the twenty-something girl from its blast, while consuming the blade which she had previously hung in attempt to damage the Arrancar. Sakura would slowly, steadily, raise to her feet to hear Zero mocking her bout not thinking, and how she must be so lucky to have her parents buy her position within the squad. This caused the girl to grind her teeth as she walked to this male and female Shinigami combo that were judging her for her actions. Once she gets within reach of the two of them her left leg gives out and she grabs Zero's captain cloak to hold her balance. The female ninja silently cursing herself as she had planned to act tough, say a few words then join in what ever plan was being cooked up to deal with this new Hollow threat. Instead she showed this weakness... though she quickly corrected herself. Her eyes locking with Zero's in a fierce glare, "Is that how you think of me? A spoiled child, who only gains something if my parents buy it for me?" Her left hand reaches over to clutch the badge on her right arm, "Like this is a game to me?" Her gaze remained fierce, before looking to Lucy and back to the captain, "Then hold them off with Natsumi's help. I will get her out of her, before she really gets hurt." Her right hand still holding that captain's robe tight in hand, "When I return... I will show you. I have the power and ability to have earned this position." Without another word, Sakura releases the captain and scoops up Lucy like a princess, though with some struggle from the damage to her body, before she used her shunpo ability to fade out.
