Bleach: Garganta-A World of Darkness:Soul Society {PG-16}[Started/ Accepting by PM]

[Allesk]

Horyuu raised his left hand catching Ze'birovas foot stopping the kick. "Please, do not touch me. Besides it appears the others have already noticed." Horyuu said releasing his foot as the others arrived. Horyuu condensed his reiatsu around him. Unsheathing his blade it automatically formed into it's shikai. "unholy damnation!" a flood of darkness flowed over the gargantuan minions eating away and parts that touched the darkness. The darkness then faded away and mist formed slightly around the blade. Horyuu sighed and reached into his pocket his pulled out little white cubes and threw them at the remaining gargantuans when withen range they burst into white ribbons that wrapped them into a ball with binding symbols along it. They were then summoned to Horyuus lab in the seireitei. "More test subjects." Horyuu grinned. More gargantuans began to appear.

[ryuujinn]

"This sensation," Faust suddenly looked serious as he stared in the direction where Alvaro was going, "That girl has come back with a few friends."

 

Faust shook his head rather uneasily as he felt sudden spikes of reiatsu going off from where Alvaro is heading. It was a mix of shinigami, and a familiar reiatsu, Gargantuans. He could feel a spine tingling sensation as he flexed his fingers and limbered up.

 

"Curious. Curious." He muttered casually, eyeing the direction Alvaro went to.

 

In a flash, he was gone, leaving a ripple in space and sand in the air. He traveled fast, trying to catch up with the extremely fast Alvaro.Somehow, he knew wherever they were headed, strong people are present. He couldn't help but smile behind his fox-mask.

[Reaper of Shadows]

Evlin calmly flashtepped out of the way of Kris's weapon, before reappearing next to Derven. "That's not a good idea," she said, as the obliterated chains reformed and grabbed onto Derven before he could get away. "The person who tries to forcibly removed those Reiatsu chains gets caught in them themself. Too bad for you. It won't be so easy to escape those." She then walked up to Ze'borova, ignoring everyone else. CHains were once again wrapped around his body. "And don't think I forgot about you. I remeber what you said the last time we met. I've got something special planned for you when my Master's done with you. I can't wait," she whispered into his air. She then latched onto his still form using reiatsu and was getting ready to leave when...

 

"Shadow Cero!" Alvaro yelled, shooting a large black Cero at Evlin. She turned around, smirking, before raising her hand and deflecting the Cero. It zoomed back toward Alvaro, before stopping, and targeting Evlin again. This time, she simply held up her hand, and the Cero exploded against it.

 

"Where do you with you're going?" Alvaro asked. "Don't think you'll escape alive this time," he yelled as he rushed at her.

[Mr.WHAM]

Ze'borova was getting increasingly angry. These chains were siphoning off his strength so that he couldn't escape. The brief momemt that had occured that allowed him to be free was met met with a little happiness. However then they came back stronger than before. He knew the Zanpaktou he just picked up was special but, he didn't want to risk it. Pierce the body, Trap the Mind & Join the Spirits, ran through his and Alvaro's head. Then he felt himself being dragged in the Garganta. He ripped at his captors causing some of them to fall out. However, there was too many of them and his movements too constrained. They would pull him inside the Garganta soon, along with the other they had captured.

[namelessk]

Karek's body floated within a space of nothing but darkness. His body floated along unconscious while he was regaining his reiatsu. Reiatsu had flooded his body in all that time that he had been floating within this massive space of nothingness. He was now finally ready to leave this place as he had no more reason to remain here with his reiatsu back fully healed. Karek's eyes flew open, and he looked around him, confirming his suspicions of his surroundings. He could see nothing within this massive space of black, but he did know that there was a way out. The Arrancar and Shinigami were now temporary allies, and so the Cuatro Espada who had put him in this place would have made it so that he could find a way out if he so desired after he had fully healed.

 

Karek lifted his right hand and flexed it. He then turned it, staring through the blackness before him at the shadowy outline of his hand. He then lifted his left hand and flexed it in and out as well, testing it. He felt no bodily fatigue, a sign that he had healed completely. He then reached down to his left hip and touched his zanpakutou hilt. You alright there Hibiki Kaichou? There was no reply, and Karek grew worried, for he thought that Hibiki Kaichou may still have been drained of energy from the Unification. "Y-Yes...I...am okay. I was just in slumber awaiting for you to wake up." Hibiki Kaichou's voice resounded within Karek's head. "Alright, then that settles it. Let's get back in there and help those guys." Karek said.

 

He began gathering his reiatsu, even taking a stance to do so. His reiatsu flared around him as he did, forming a dark blue aura around his body. Soon, the aura enveloped him and then it rushed forward through the blackness. The dark blue reiatsu tore through the blackness within the surrounding area, and then it began to pull apart. Karek saw cracks begin to appear in the air in front of him. He saw the light beginning to peak through as the cracks grew wider and wider. He then reached out with his right hand and stabbed through the already growing cracks, making them even wider. His hand shot out into thin air in front of Faust, no doubt surprising him as he quickly traveled across Hueco Mundo. Somehow, it seemed that the place that Karek had been pulled into was always connected to Faust. Karek poked his head out of the large crack that he had made and stared at Faust. He then tore at the cracks even more, pulling them to his sides and shattering the air around him completely. He landed softly on the ground after falling out of the hole he had just created. He stared around and then looked back at Faust. "Thanks for that. Now, would you be so kind as to fill me in on what happened while I was healing?" he asked.

[ryuujinn]

Faust was taken by surprise when he saw a hand shot out from his chest. He wondered for a while then remembered putting someone in an alternate space. Soon, someone tore open the space around his chest and there emerged Karek, completely healed. Faust looked thoughtful at the newly recuperated captain, the torn space on his chest reforming slowly.

 

"Ah yes, welcome back. As you can see," Faust deflected a blade aimed at his back with a back-hand strike to the flat surface of the blade, "We're under siege by Gargantuans, again. Monsieur Zeb seems to be in trouble too, and your captain commander has finally arrived."

 

Faust pointed at Erontoc, then pulled out his zanpakutou, slashing a gargantuan across the face cleanly.

 

"You know, we could use the help right now, Karek. But mind you, don't touch those chains around Zeb. They're tricky, as well as that Evlin."

 

As he finished his statement, Faust fired a Cero towards a group of gargantuans, effectively scattering them, killing most.

[namelessk]

"Hmm...interesting. So they did lead us here for a purpose." Karek muttered to himself. When he saw Faust point out the Captain-Commander, his gaze moved towards him. "Ah...Hello Captain Commander. Nice to see you alive and well. For a moment there, we weren't sure whether you were alive or not." Karek said with a sincere expression across his face. "Well then, since you guys need my help, then let me lend a hand." Karek said as he drew his zanpakutou. He then rushed forward and began to slice through countless Gargantuans from left to right, cutting them into halves through vivisection and bisection. "How do I save Capt. Zeborova without touching the chains?" he called back to the others. Think Karek. Think. How do I release him without touching the chains?

[Allesk]

Horyuu being the head of science had plenty of gizmos and gadgets. reaching into his cloak he pulled out a spiritual clamp. This clamp drains the reaitsu of anything it is clamped onto and cause it to wither away. "This may work. If not I have one other option but it will be very painful for You two." Horyuu said indicating that we was talking about the two tat had been captured. Horyuu flash-stepped to where the two chains met and clamped the spiritual clamp onto it then jumped back evasively, in case the chains came at him. Horyuu Looked at the chains at waited to see if there was any result.

[Mr.WHAM]

The chains surrounding Ze'borova did not chase after Horyuu. The clamp that was made slowly melted down as the chains grew white hot and relased a blinding flash. Ze'borova was not happy. He knew what was happening and with his free hand, grabbed the Zanpaktou and stabbed it into the ground while having it touch the chains. Then a surge of lightning came through the chains as Ze'borova felt his reistu leech off of him and the Lightning surged into his body. He now became quite familiar with his surrounding as he realized the chains had done. They literally took his reistu and converted it into pure lightning. They had used the information they had from his shikai to send his own brand of attack coursing through his body. He absorbed some of the lightning but even with his self-built resistance and the Zanpaktou grounding the lightning, it was still enough to make him howl in pain. He couldn't absorb it all but it allowed him a brief energy burst. He swung the chains around and his captors were afraid as they could see each others face as Ze'borova swung the chains and had them collide with each others skull. They redoulbled their efforts now dragging him in the Garganta as it began to close, with him inside and the Gargantauns began to retreat as Evlin smiled.

[Allesk]

Just before Ze'borova was pulled in Horyuu threw a capsule at him the burst into a purple poweder. the purple powder moved along his body and into his pores. "It's so we can have eyes on the inside." Horyuu whispered to him. "Man, I thank Mayuri for all the technology he has invented. It's a life saver some times." Horyuu said with a smirk. "We should probably hurry to the seireitei if we are going to get more comrades and strengthen our numbers. That is if we wish to ever rescue Ze'borova." Horyuu looked around at the others waiting for someone to say something. He pulled out a monitor screen and turned it on to see how Ze'borova was doing. But it was far to dark to see anything at the moment.

[Reaper of Shadows]

OOC: darn YCM, i posted somthing, but apparently it didn't take, soo here it is...again, also, i have created the ooc thread for Garganta, so any questions/comments/ooc post should go there

 

Evlin smiled as Ze'borova was pulled into the Garganta, and it closed. "Excellent," she said smugly. "Mission accomplished. Lets go," she said, motioning to the Gargantas, and they began to file up, ready to leave.

 

"I don't think so," Alvaro said, as he charged at Evlin form behind. He sliced at her with his blade, and Evlin dodged it easily. She then kicked out at Alvaro. He flew away.

 

"You can't beat me," Evlin said smugly.

 

"I don't have to," Alvaro said as he vanished, too fast to track. Evlin's eyes widened in suprise as Alvaro appeared in front of her, a glowing black orb in his hand. He thrust out the hand with the orb, nailing her in the chest. There was a black falsh, as the orb exploded outward, reforming into a spider web of reiatsu strands. Alvaro smirked. "Escape that. That's my special Sombra Caja Negacion, infused with my own reaitsu. You can't escape."

 

Evlin bowed her head, so that her expression was hidden. Her body began shaking, as she was wracked with sobs. But she was in fact laughing, a fact that was revealed when she lifted her head. "It seems that you've forgotten about something," she said, before vanishing, the web melting around her. She reappeared behind Alvaro, suprising him, before whispering in his ear, "I control shadows too." With that, she jumped back, escaping with the rest of the Gargatuans into a Garganta that sprang open, before closing quickly.

 

"Dammit," Alvaro shouted to himself.

 

_______________________________________

 

"Simple," Evlin said as she emerged next to Ze'borova. She turned to the rest of the Gargantans. "Mission accomplished. Lets go." She turned back to Ze;borova. "Stop struggling," she said. "You want to be at your best when you meet my master. And, to make sure there are no foul ups." She reached down, and grasped the end of the chain that was wrapped around Ze'borova. She closed her eyes. The chain glowed white, before absorbing reiatsu from Ze'borova and transferring it to Evlin. She moaned in delight. "Such reiatsu. So powerful so dense. I see why my master wants that artifact." Seeing Zeb's look of suprise she smiled. "Yes, we know about it. I've tasted your reiatsu before, and it is far more potent this time. Why do you think you're here." With that, she turned around as a beam of light fell from the sky, before gathering them, and whisking them away.

[Mr.WHAM]

"You know about sheet concerning my reistu you little trick," Ze'borova said angry. He let her taste what he could do. His reistu spiked barely and crushed Evlin under its prescience. Then he let up after seeing her stumble and kneel to her knees briefly. "Now, tell me. Where is Oblivion. I want to know what the hell you want before I go on my killing Spree. What they hell are you bastards exactly anyway. Release these chains from me and In 10 seconds I will cut you down. 10. Let me free for 10 seconds. AndI will kill you. Make note Evlin I will Kill you." Ze'borova's heart beat faster as even beong around him contained a malice to murder & destroy. To leave them with nothing and let them burn. His Broken Feral Heart was beginning its descent into his darkness.

[Reaper of Shadows]

Evlin stumbled, slightly from suprise, and slightly becuase of the message that Oblivion had sent to her telepathically. Bring the fool to me. Now. She turned back to Ze'borova. SHe walked up to him, and backhanded him across the face. "No fool. it is YOU who know's nothing about Reiatsu. If you did, you wouldn't be here." She turned away. "We Gargantan's are masters of reiatsu. We have uncovered nearly all of its secrets, and are working on uncovering the few that remain." She held her hand out, and shot a Cero at Ze'borova, point blank. However, before it hit, it stopped. "Do you see. We are masters of reiatsu." She balled her hand into a fist, and the Cero dissapated. "So save your empty threats Shinigami. You'll get your chance to meet my master. You'll get your chance, right now." Evlin said, before throwing him into the throne room. She followed, before closing the door. She bent down to Ze'borova, and whispered in his ear, "Show weakness, and you will die. And don't ask questions." She then straightened up.

 

"Is this the fool?" a voice called from the shadows.

 

"Yes, master," she replied, bowing.

 

"Release him."

 

Evlin held out her hand, and the chains around Ze'borova disappeared.

 

"Excellent. Now, it begins," Oblivion said as he walked out of the shadows.

[Magnet Soldier]

"Damn it." Eron cursed, as the last of the gargantuan's disappeared into the Garganta along with Ze'brova and Derven. "We lost two good comrades." Eron pointed out. "And one other. The new captain of Squad 11. Even if he wasn't brilliant, it's better to have an extra Captain." Kris said, jumping towards Eron, while wiping a head off his blood-stained blade. He sighed and sheathed his blade, watching Eron do the same. "Ze'brova had that weird-yet powerful- Zanpaktou and Derven's a powerful man. Both are devastating losses." Eron exclaimed, walking to the front of the group. "And if the Gargantuans are that desperate to get their grubby little mitts on it, it must be powerful. We have to get back both of them, and the other captain aswell. Now, this is probably the most dangerous thing we have ever done, but we will have to go to their lair, the centre of a Garganta. Most of us will die. But we must not let the Gargantuans to get any more of these objects, for the sake of the three worlds." Kris sighed. Now isn't really the time for speechs. He thought.

 

Meanwhile, Derven's eyes fluttered open. He groaned and rubbed his wrists, deep red marks dug into his flesh. He looked at his surroundings and groaned again. He was in a cell. The walls were lined with mould, dank green mould that stank like dead flesh and looked like vomit. He looked for the doors or bars, and found none. The cell had no entry or exit, so he guessed that you had to have high reiatsu to break out. He tried to call upon his reiatsu, but found none. "Damn, they must have drained it." He cursed, reaching for his Zanpaktou. It was still there, which he thought was suspicious. "Pierce the heart and burn the soul. Sotheria." He whispered. Nothing happened. He sat down and placed the blade infront of him, trying to speak to it. No answer. Then he looked at the hand guard, and noticed it was a different blade. "Damn things are making a fool of me." He muttered, angrily.

[Reaper of Shadows]

((The OOC thread is up for OOC related topics. Check it out when you have a chance))

"We're not strong enough to do that yet," Alvaro said, finally speaking up after sielntly fuming at himself. I can't believe that Evlin did that, making a fool of me. Next time that we meet, I will end her. "As much as I'd love to get Ze'borova and Derven, we don't have the manpower. We didn't even bring our allies with us. And we can't get back to the human world without going through Garganta, so we can't go and get reinforcements." Alvaro began pacing back and forth. "Oblivion set us up perfectly. He trapped us so that we are here, with no option, but to do what he wants. Our only choice right now is...we need to head to Soul Society. At least there, we will be able to find some allies. But to get there...we have to go through the Garganta. I can open one without a problem, but once I do...there's not telling whats going to happen. I have a feeling that he wants us to go there, so I don't think we'll encounter any problem...but there's always that chance that we will. Any thoughts?"

[Allesk]

Horyuu folded his hands behind his head and a contemplative look appeared on his face. "If we enter the garganta now and face the wrath of their brood we will surely die. Two people and one item are not worth it. We can keep tabs on Ze'borova through the virus like cameras I inserted on his body before they made of with him. Our other option go to Soul Society and recover others to aid us, but risk ourselves by entering the garganta. In which they can ambush us and pick us off easily. Or remain here and fade into nonresistance. The last is obviously out of the question and the only one that seams to be slightly rational is going to soul society although it is a high risk. The other question is, is everyone at full strength from our last encounter from when you first arrived here because the same thing could happen during our trip to Soul Society. This is only how I assessed the situation, but regardless we are in a terrible position." Horyuu looked around, he had some much thoughts built inside him but first he needed to reach Soul Society to restore his new self to his former self. At the moment he was much weaker then he originally was.

[ryuujinn]

"If I may, Espada 00."

 

Faust suddenly dropped in on the conversation. He knew better than to do that, as Alvaro could have slitted his throat without question, but he has to do it. He can offer them a solution to their problems, at least in theory. He did not intend to accept any losses on their side, not especially when he saw Evlin made a fool of the person he looked up as a leader.

 

"Espada 00, I cannot help but overhear your conversation with the shinigami scientist over there," Faust pointed at Horyuu before staring back at Alvaro, "And I may just have a way to get all of us across dimensions."

 

Faust gestured at everyone present to come near him, intending to explain himself only once. He did not like explaining over and over again, and to a crowd this size, he didn't intend to repeat himself even once. The space around him rippled slightly, then stablized as he stood still, looking around.

 

"Alright. A Garganta is made by tearing the fabric separating the dimensions of the worlds and by then refers to a tunnel of whirling energy. Once we enter it, we're clearly placed under the mercy of those vile abominations called Gargantuans. However, what if once the tunnel is opened, the space unto which we move were to be altered? And by alteration, I mean, we travel on a separate space, an alternate road towards the end of the Garganta."

 

Faust took in several deep breaths before continuing.

 

"I possess the ability to bend space. If, perhaps, we pool in our reiatsu together, I could produce the alternate space necessary for us to walk safely towards the end of the Garganta without the Gargantuans interfering. Here's what I propose," Faust fixed his arrancar clothes before resuming his speech, "Espada 00 could open us a Garganta towards Soul Society. That would alert the Gargantuans, but as he does that, I rip apart a parallel road in the Garganta that is connected to Soul Society, a road existing in a dimension only I have access to, a road not even the Gargantuans can destroy even if they collapse the Garganta itself. However, there are a few things to this strategy that you must know."

 

Faust sat on the ground, getting really exhausted from speaking a lot.

 

"First, The Garganta must be maintained while I connect a road from this place to Soul Society. It means that if Gargantuans suddenly appeared from Espada 00's Garganta, you must fight them off long enough for me to establish the connection. Let's hope they don't get wind of our operation and collapse the Garganta before I could connect."

 

"Second, I will require a significant amount of reiatsu. I'm afraid even in my Segunda Etapa, I will not be enough. I need at least two more people with reiatsu greater than or equal to an Espada's Segunda Etapa to channel energy towards me so I can complete the connection."

 

"Lastly, the completion of the path requires that I maintain absolute focus. Therefore, you must not allow me to be interrupted by any Gargantuans as I make the gate. If we're successful, we can cross to Soul Society safely, even without the Garganta. And by the way, this is a one time deal. I meant to use this ability to cross to Soul Society before, by myself, but seeing as we need this one now more than ever, I guess this is fine."

 

Faust then stood up, approaching Alvaro quite casually. His eyes were filled with an unexplainable emotion, as if he was analyzing each and every one present around him.

 

"Espada 00, what do you think?" Faust asked respectfully, bowing his head.

[Magnet Soldier]

"Well. If you need reiatsu, I'm here. I dont know if It'll be enough in my normal form though, so I'll go into shikai. This will also allow me to defend myself if necessary too." Eron suggested. "But I'd stand back from my Shikai. It's power is immense and, well, undetectable." He added as a warning. Then he stepped back and allowed anyone else to come forward. "I'll do it." Kris said, raising his hand. Eron shook his head. "No. For two reasons. Number one is that you'd have to go into Bankai to fufill his requirments, and we dont want a person down if we get attacked. And two is that we need you to help attack the Gargantuans." He explained. He looked around for anyone that could fufill the needs of Faust. Alvaro seems to be the only one capable. He mused.

[namelessk]

Karek was upset with himself for failing to think quickly enough when he saw Ze'borova pulled into the Garganta. He hung his head, ashamed that he wasn't able to think quick enough. His hopes grew a little more though when he heard Horyuu say that he had implanted a camera into him. He then listened intently to the plan that the others were proposing. Then, when it was Faust's turn to speak, he listened even more. He had grown respect for this Arrancar in particular for helping him, and so he would take every word he said seriously.

 

"An interesting plan. Except, there aren't many people here that have as much reiatsu as he needs." This in fact was a lie, for Karek knew exactly that he could muster that much reiatsu when he went into his Unification form. But that would drain him alot, and plus he didn't want anyone to know he was in total sync with his zanpakutou. This was something that not even the Captain-Commanders of the past could do. He was even sure the current Captain-Commander could not do it. It was a rare ability only few possessed and only few had the time and patience to master. However, he had never heard of anyone else in history learning and mastering, meaning that it was probably an ability only unique to him or that he was the only one that was able to master the ability.

 

"I'll help to defend against any Gargantuans that attack." Karek said as he walked off. He didn't want anyone to know that he in fact did have the necessary spiritual pressure needed. it was selfish, but he needed to keep that fact a secret, even from the Captain-Commander. If the Captain-Commander found out, he would surely reprimand Karek for keeping that ability a secret from him and probably promote him to be one of the Soul King's personal bodyguards. Karek liked being in the Gotei 13, and so he was going to make sure to keep that a secret.

 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Meanwhile, in Oblivion's lair, Juul stood against the wall with his hands folded. He stared at Evlin as she came in, watching how she was so easily submissive towards Oblivion's will. He then saw her bring in a shinigami. He instantly recognized the Shinigami from the battle that they had in the small town. That Shinigami..why is he even here? What does Oblivion want with him? Juul quickly uncrossed his arms at the sight of Oblivion who had now come into the room and lifted himself off of the wall. He inched closer to see what was going on. He wanted to know what Oblivion wanted with this shinigami. He listened intently as Oblivion came forward.

[Reaper of Shadows]

Alvaro stood contemplating, going over the plan in his head. He closed his eyes, thinking, before smirking and opening them up again. "Its a crazy idea," Alvaro began. "And extremely risky. But it seems to be the only feasible option that we have, so I guess I'm for it." He looked around at the others, nodding when they volunteered to do things. "Excellent. Of course, I'll be one of the ones donating my reaitsu. It makes more sense, considering that I'm opening the garganta in the first place." He turned back to Faust. "Okay. It seems that everything is ready. I'm ready when you are."

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Evlin shrunk back into the shadows of the room as Oblivion walked forward. The amount of reiatsu that he was emanating was enough to make a sweat a little. She moved over to Juul. "I've never seen master this excited. I almost feel bad for the Shinigami."

 

Oblivion walked toward the now free Ze'borova. "Stand boy, and look at me." Ze'borova did so, but threw Oblivion a disgust filled look. "Oh, seems like you've got some spirit," Oblivion said, before his reiatsu spike and Ze'borova went flying, hiting a wall 20 feet away and crumpling to the ground. "We'll have to do something about that, won't we." Oblivion began walking in Zeb's direction. "But first. Where is my artifact!? I can sense that you are in posession of it. Now give it to me, and I promise to make your death less painful thatn it would have been originally."

[ryuujinn]

Faust gave a cunning smile from underneath his fox mask. The preparations were complete, and its only a matter of time. He glanced at his allies once more then towards the empty space in front of him. There was a few things to consider, but they're more or less trivial. He needed to make sure the plan stays in course, and the pathway they needed depends on how well he can stabilized it.

 

"Oui, monsieur. Let us being." Faust remarked.

 

He drew out his zanpakutou from out of nowhere, causing a slight ripple on the empty space around the sword. He then placed both hands on the handle and pointed it upwards, the tip of the zanpakutou glowing brighter and brighter.

 

"Sever the Void, Espacio!"

 

Faust's body disappeared from existence, leaving only his zanpakutou in mid air. A burst of white energy shot out from all around the blade, growing brighter and brighter. The glow was suddenly followed by a massive blast of energy from deep within the empty space around the sword, causing it to shatter into a multitude of pieces, all glowing brightly. Finally, the pieces formed one by one into a full bodied Faust, without the mask. His fox-like face looked exactly as his fox mask in Arrancar form, his armor now also sports a Yin-Yang symbol in the middle.

 

"Well this would be my Segunda Etapa form. And now, Espada 00, if you will. That Garganta must now open. Remember, the rest of you needs to fight off the Gargantuans while I set up the dimensional tunnel for us. Also, anyone who's going to lend me their reiatsu must not stray too far away from me. That would be troublesome." Faust remarked, giving everyone a foxy smile.

[Reaper of Shadows]

Alvaro smirked. "Shouldn't be a problem." Although I hate doing this uneccessarily, right now I have no choice. He pulled out his blade, and ran his hand along it before sighing. "Here we go." He held his blade up shoulder height, perfectly parallel to the ground. His reiatsu began to rise as he tightened his grip on his blade. "Blacken the night! Cosechar de Sombra," he said, and a wave of black reiatsu exploded out from his body, obscuring everyone's vision. The wave then condensed back into Alvaro, forming a black mask that grew two white eye slits. Two horns grew out of the top of his head, before curving down toward his back. His blade turned pure black with flames dancing along the hilt. "Now we can begin," he said in a low gutteral voice. He held up his free hand, and drew a single line in the air. Where he traced his line, the sky opened up, revealing a gaping maw of blackness.

 

"Lets go."

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Evlin jerked up in suprise. "No way..." she began.

 

"Take care of it," Oblivion said, not turning away from Ze'borova. "Those fools think that they can intrude in MY dimension. Well too bad for them. DESTROY THEM ALL," he shouted.

 

"Yes!," she said, before Shunpoing out of the room. She ran down the halls of the palace, screaming out directions. "Alpha and Beta squadrons. To sector 7. We've got intruders," and as she spoke hundreds of gargantans began leaving the palace, headed toward the intruders.

[Mr.WHAM]

"Hmmm Alpha. I like that name...And as for artifacts, I have no idea what your talking about. Thanks for freeing me though I needed away out." Ze'borova smiled as he drew the Zanpaktou. He knew that they were talking about this. He remembered the phrase that went through his mind. It's a long shot, but...here goes nothing. Ze'borova released a mass of white reitsu temporarily blinding those in the room. The doors were still open and he used his Shunpo to leave. The Zanpaktou pierced through the reitu as well as any other object in his way. "Okay so that's what you do." No wasting time he sped out and away from Oblivion and his palace and went to find the troops. He wouldn't leave them without a proper fight. Aku. Soku. Zan. They shall not make it.

[Magnet Soldier]

Eron sighed. It had started, and his Zanpaktou was about to be revealed. Luckily, everyone besides Faust and Alvaro were standing far back, and the two mentioned, were extremely strong at the moment. "Well then. It's time to start." He sighed, drawing both his blades. He twirled them around his arms for a bit, before placing them on top of each other. A mass of reiatsu exploded outwards, causing a small sandstorm. "Asphyxiate. Kukyo." He hissed, before the sandstorm subsided, and the sand settled. His reiatsu had al but disappeared, and he appeared unarmed. He saw confused looks on the faces of those around him. "Dont worry about me." He assured them. "None will get near me."

"Alright, we can start this thing now." Faust smiled, then opened a palm towards the Garganta which opened.

 

His palm glowed transparently, but bright enough to blind people staring directly at it. The Yin-Yang around his chest-plate started to rotate counter clockwise, blurring the boundary between yin and yang. The air around Faust started to hum, and the space was producing gentle ripples, which seemed to extend towards Alvaro and Eron, exactly underneath them. The ripple started to drain reiatsu from the two of them, and transferring them to the glowing palms of Faust. Massive ripples now started to form around his extend palm, growing larger and larger, merging together until it formed a hole big enough to let even a 7-foot giant to pass through with ease.

 

"ZETSU!" Faust exclaimed.

 

From his free hand, he suddenly thrusted his zanpakutou which seemed to come out of nowhere. As the tip of the sword made contact with the ripple, it shot out a thin line towards the inside of the Garganta, penetrating the gaping maw's blackness, and heading straight towards its other end. This time, the ripple around Alvaro and Eron's feet started to grow, draining more reiatsu. Faust's eyes started to glow extremely brighter, his body shaking a bit from the influx of energy.

 

"Keep your positions, Espada 00, and captain-commander." Faust remarked, continuing to slowly plunge his sword into the dimensional rift he created.
