Bleach: Rise of the Bount [PG-13][Co-Owned by Ryuujinn][Second Arc][Accept via OOC]

[Hotaru987]

Sayori mearly nodded and stood back as Iyusaka delt with the attack sent by Reinhardt. "I'll just stay back here Iyusaka-Taicho." She said moving back with a blank expression. Maybe I should've listened to Yumi when he sugested that I also return to the 4th division...Oh well, can't worry about it now. She though shrugging at the last thought. Her eyes narrowed when she saw Sven there seconds later, along with Kasen, and...Another arrancar? No, this one is different then the rest. Every fiber of my being is telling me to run. Who is he?.....Could he be this Lord Ganz that Zasalamel was reffering too?

[.:Blu:.]

"That's a pretty intense heat. Stay back Cpt. Kuchiki, this bount means business." Iyusaka stated as he continues to watch the battle between Izearya and Schmerz. Izearya was unfazed by the heat of both the pillar and the axe, however, he was surprised by the speed of the axe. Izearya, with lightning quick speed, unsheathe his zanpakuto and blocked the axe. As the axe made impact with Izearya's zanpakuto, it forced him back quite a few feet. Izearya then in a flash, appeared in front of Schmerz and attempted a cross attack from Schmerz's left shoulder. But before Izearya's zanpakuto made contact with Schmerz, Izearya disappeared and reappeared a few inches above Schmerz and attacked him vertically.

[ryuujinn]

Schmerz merely laughed off the attack, the intensity of his flaming armor becoming nearly impervius. It has now transformed into a dark blue shade. The zanpakutou merely landed harmlessly on the minotaur's hide. The blue flames were licking the blade of the zanpakutou, and are heading straight towards Izearya himself. Schmerz didn't even bothered moving from his spot.

 

"IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO, ARRANCAR? I THOUGHT SHINIGAMIS WERE THE ONLY WEAK SPECIES AROUND." Schmerz bellowed, stomping the ground underneath him.

 

The magma bed rose up, heading straight towards Izearya, then Schmerz swung his axe towards the Arrancar, sending another explosive outburst of now intensely blue flames. The flames travelled towards Izearya at twice the speed of the earlier attacks, nearly at the speed of Sonido.

 

Reinhardt produced his seventh cone of ice cream since the battle started, licking the snack. He glanced over at Schmerz, and looked rather surprised that the minotaur has turned his flames into a dark shade of blue. He gave out a small sigh, then glanced over at the ice dragon head on his left shoulder.

 

"Vereisen, Schmerz is going all out. You want to have a go too? Then again," Reinhardt said licking his ice cream, "If you go, I'd be out of ice cream."

 

"Boss, don't worry. That horn-head may not be the brightest doll around, but he's got the muscle and the brute strength. Remember when he survived that point blank Cero before with only minor burns? He wasn't even wearing his armor. I'd worry about his opponent more if I were you." Vereisen spoke softly, her voice sounding extremely confident.

 

Reinhardt nodded as he started licking his ice cream again.

[Allesk]

Kaosu jumped directly into the air not moving forward or backward avoiding the ice spike shooting at him from below. He then fired three arrows into them both causing them to shatter. Kaosu landed directly where he originally stood. When the tsunami came rushing at him Kaosu began to move back shooting arrows at the spike behind him letting him move backwards. Thankfully someone stepped in and blocked out the gigantic wave. "Thank you without that I would have been a goner." He said to the shinigami that was aiding him. Kaosu lost interest in his current battle with the bount leader. He knew he would not stand a chance. Instead he directed his attention to an oncoming bount. Kaosu fired four powerful arrows towards the new bount, Baldur. Baldur already had his two dolls unsealed and Krake who was floating over his shoulder and Hundert-schnitt a hilt in his hand. Krake glided down in front of Baldur and deflected the arrows causing them to ricochet and hilt buildings.

 

"Sorry I'm late I got lost." Baldur said with a smile. His hands had been bloody from absorbing pathetic unranked shinigami he found along the way.

 

Baldur pointed the hilt at Kaosu and it extended outwards shooting at him with intense speed. Kaosu flipped into the air and shot an arrow at the blade slamming into it and causing it to be knocked off course puncturing a building. Kaosu then shot three full powered arrows at Reinhardt hoping to catch him off guard and hit him. If they had hit it would shoot through him like a hole punch.

[namelessk]

"Interesting." Fui said as he saw how his water was pushed back so easily and by some mysterious force. Fui then watched as the javelin-like projectile cruised towards him, moving through the water. He watched it's course, and was curious as to why it moved in that way. It moved through the water, following its exact course. This was weird because the water had zigzagged, and if it was moving on a set course through the water, then it meant that something was guiding it. Could the javelin-like projectile be made of lightning? Was it conducting through the water to get to Fui? Or even conducting off of his reiatsu?

 

Fui was not sure of all of this, but he was not going to take any chances. The dome of lightning quickly receded, and he flipped upwards from it, moving into the air. He then landed some feet away from the lightning wheel and watched the javelin-like projectile cruise towards him. He clenched his fist and then pushed it towards the projectile. The wheel spun even faster as lightning surged around it even more. It then spun straight towards the projectile, on a collision course with it. The collision of the two created a large explosion and threw up smoke around the area. "What are you planning Arrancar? How were you able to do that?" Fui asked Zasalamel through the smoke.

 

He reached his hand out and caught something. It glinted gold. It was his wheel-like doll, Blitzrad, but in it's sealed form. Fui had resealed it as it collided with the projectile so that it was not destroyed in the explosion. He pocketed it and then stared at Zasalamel. "You interest me hollow. I would hate to kill you. You can still take my offer and leave." Fui said.

 

"He does not have to go anywhere. But, this constant pointless fighting should stop." a mysterious voice said. It would be familiar to most, but not all. It was the voice of Ganz Lagarto who had just appeared in the air with his hands in his pockets as usual. He stood within the air, staring intently down on Fui as well as the other Shinigami and Zasalamel. Kasen just then appeared next to him with a huge smirk on his face. Ganz slowly hovered closer to the ground and then began stepping down as if he was moving down a flight of stairs.

 

"What is with all of this fighting?" Ganz asked as he finally reached the ground.

 

"No one asked you to come here." Fui said to Ganz as he narrowed his eyes.

 

"I have my reasons as you have yours...Bount." Ganz said slowly. He then turned towards Zasalamel and then to Izearya. "You have done well Zasalamel. I have gained all of the information I needed on them." Ganz said without turning to Zasalamel. "Izearya, I did not ask you to come here. I had already sent Kasen to relay my message." Ganz said, this time turning to look at Izearya.

 

Fui could feel the immense amount of spiritual pressure coming from this man. He could sense the powerful aura which the man held. "Are you numero uno?" Fui asked Ganz.

 

Ganz simply stared back at Fui, no emotion on his face as he did so.

 

"Of course. He's the Primera!" Kasen exclaimed, answering for Ganz.

 

"That's enough Kasen." Ganz said as he closed his eyes. "Zasalamel, Izearya, Sven, let's go now." Ganz said.

 

"You think after interrupting my fight that you will leave?" Fui asked as a smirk formed on his face. A powerful amount of reiatsu began growing around him, shrouding him. The reiatsu around him glowed a dark blue and continued to grow in power and spiritual pressure. Fui was obviously upset now and he was preparing an attack. His smirk grew wider as he continued gathering his reiatsu.

[ryuujinn]

Zasalamel's eyes widened when he felt a massive, familiar reiatsu appear somewhere near him. He quickly looked up, and saw the Primera Espada, Granz Lagarto, walking closely, followed by Kasen. From the mere sight of the lead Espada, Zasalamel quickly brought down his nodachi, and kneeled in front of the Primera. He even shut down his magnetic field, and lowered the intensity of his magnetic Hierro.

 

"Primera, you need not have came here. You could've send word, or sent a runner to get us back." Zasalamel remarked, keeping his head low.

 

As Granz ordered their retreat, which Zasalamel took note of and stood up, the Bount Leader seemed to have other things in mind as he heard the remark made by Fui towards the Primera Espada. He quickly spun around, looking extremely furious. His eyes looked deadly, and there was a hint of anger lining the red pupils of his eyes.

 

"You would dare address the Primera Espada like that? Know your place, trash!" Zasalamel exploded in anger. His outburst completely destroyed the entire ground he was standing on, leveling the ground and forming a crater. His hair was standing up and his entire body was cackling with energy.

 

"YOU DON'T CALL FUI-SAMA A TRASH!" Schmerz bellowed, charging towards the Segunda Espada with blinding speed, blue flames trailing behind him.

 

As his horns neared Zasalamel, the Espada simply held out a hand and grabbed the bull's nose ring almost effortlessly, leaving Schmerz extremely surprised. His gloves also seemed to be unaffected by the intense heat that the minotaur was giving off, as if his own reiatsu was overpowering the burn.

 

"No one. And I mean No one speaks to the Primera like that! You are trash. and trashes must be disposed off!" Zasalamel remarked.

 

This time, his entire body glowed between yellow and white, still keeping Schmerz in place by holding the minotaur's nose ring. Schmerz tried to loosen the grip by violently moving his entire body, but somehow he was stuck. Zasalamel's cloak was now getting torn off by the energy surge around his body, and his vest was instantly obliterated. His bandages on his face was becoming unravelled, revealing the entirety of his face for the first time in front of everyone. His azure-blue, flowing middle length hair swayed in the gusty winds, and his light-red eyes stared at Fui with intense anger. By now, his trench coat has completely been destroyed, revealing his toned upper body and a set of six packs abs. A minus and plus sign appeared on his chest, and an equal sign suddenly emerged in the middle. On his shoulders, a pair of white, blank hollow masks appear, serving as shoulder guards. The energy burst continued to flow until he closed his free hand into a fist, producing a massive shockwave that rippled outwards.

 

"Segunda Etapa: Magneto Oscuro - El Gran Negacion." He muttered in a light voice.

 

He then lifted Schmerz effortlessly off the ground, a feat that is in itself impressive, seeing as Schmerz was nearly three times his height, and more than a hundred times his own weight. He flung the minotaur effortless towards Reinhardt, prompting the Bount to stand up and erect a wall made of ice. The wall itself was not strong enough to contain the impact, sending Reinhardt crashing towards a nearby, ruined house. He released Schmerz in time before he was crushed by the minotaur's weight.

 

"Bount, you have stepped the line. To speak like that to the Primera is an atrocity. I will not let this one slide." Zasalamel said angrily.

 

From around the Segunda Espada, massive amounts of spirit particles converged into what looked like solid, spherical orbs. There were five encircling him, all becoming larger and larger. After a while, it became transparent, and elongated, stretching to form a lance-like projectile. Zasalamel then brought up both hands and opened his palms, yellow, white, and a certain, distinct transparent reiatsu forming in the middle.

 

"El Gran Lanzador!" Zasalamel finally shouted.

 

The Lance like projectiles suddenly dispersed and shot out from their places, heading straight towards Fui, Reinhardt, and Baldur. The intensity of the attack was tripled when Zasalamel also fired three Cero's from his palms heading towards the three bount targets.

 

Reinhardt was the first to react as he erected twenty layers of ice in front of him, hoping to stop the Lance and the Cero altogether.

 

"Come on, Vereisen, hold." Reinhardt said, desperation was lining his voice.

 

Unfortunately, the lance pierce all twenty layers and homed in on Reinhardt, along with the Cero. The bout was surprised at the level of intensity that the attack has shown, suggesting that Zasalamel was more than fired up when he attacked. He had to make a move or he will die.

 

"Ziege Dich, Vereisen!" Reinhardt shouted in desperation.

 

The ice around his left arm suddenly crawled out of his body hastily, forming a tall and slender, icy blue dragon in humanoid form in front of him, holding a massive shield and a claymore made of ice. The dragon roared, causing a massive wall of ice to appear in front of her. She also swung his sword, producing an ice nova of sorts. It crashed with Projectile, slowing it down, but was not enough to stop it. As it collided with the wall, Vereisen pushed forward, trying to block the lance. As the Cero also impacted the wall, she was forced to increase the layers of the wall. After a few moments, the wall exploded, pushing Reinhardt backwards further, his head hitting a wooden post. He automatically fell unconscious as his doll reverted to its unreleased form, forming back into a small snow flake on the shirt of Reinhardt.

[.:Blu:.]

Izearya sonido'd back a few feet and sensed Ganz prescence. He then turned around and saw Ganz. "My deepest apologies Lord Ganz, I was trying to get things moving along faster........." Izearya stated as he gave a bow. He then turned back towards the bounts as they made their statements. Iyusaka was surprised to felt another immense spiritual pressure. "(This one's spiritual pressure is just as powerful as the bount leader, damn it.........)" Iyusaka thought to himself as he raised his zanpakuto up behind his back.

 

"Cpt. Kuchiki, becareful, this arrancar must be the leader......" Iyusaka stated as he carefully watched the actions of the arrancars and bounts. Awhile later, Zasalamel released his Segunda Etapa and attacked the bounts, knocking out Reinhardt. "(Damn, that one is extremely powerful......)" Iyusaka thought to himself. "Don't be surprised shinigami, this is the power of an Espada........" Izearya stated towards Iyusaka. "Lord Ganz....... should we leave?" Izearya asked in a calm voice.

[Hotaru987]

Sayori nodded at Iyusaka statement already coming to that conclusion. "I know." But the thing that also surprised me, She continued in her thoughts, Is the extreme power that exploded from Zasalamel. He was obviously toying with us before, but if he had been serious I doubt Yomi, Saren and myself would've been able to handle him. Expecially not with out battered bodies. Just how strong are these Espadas. True I knew that they wouldn't be weak, but they've surpassed even my own expectations...

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven listened to the Primera and prepared himself to leave. Then he watched Zasalamel, erupt into a furry. 'Well, if he dies, I take his place,' he thought with a smirk. Then he noticed a shinigami arrive with the Quinto Espada, he knew something must have been wrong. He also took note that it was the shinigami he had thrashed upon his arrival. Sven walked over to the Quinto Espada and asked, "What is this shinigami doing here?" He let out a small sneer as he did this and placed his hand on his zanpakuto. "I can get rid of her, right now considering she is the enemy," he stated with a scour.

[Hotaru987]

Sayori glared at Sven hearing what he said. She hadn't stopped using the wind to listen, as with all of the explosions it was hard to hear what was being said. And that Espada is starting to irk on my nerves. She watched his grip tighten on his sword, and she did the same her sword still in her hand from helping Iyusaka escape from the ice prison. "Looks like I might be dancing with an familiar face..." Sayori mumbled to herself.

[.:Blu:.]

Izearya closed his eyes as Sven asked him a question. After Sven had finished, Izearya opened his eyes. "She was listening to Zasalamel and my conversations with the bounts earlier........ She hid her spiritual pressure pretty well....... but as you know Sven, nothing can hide from my Pesquisa......." Izearya stated as he noticed Sven gripping his zanpakuto. "Don't do anything rash........ you'll have your chance to slaughter as many shingami as you want later......... right now we have other problems......... besides, the shingami wouldn't dare to attack....... at least if they're smart........." Izearya stated in a calm tone as he coldly glanced at the two captains then focusing his eyes once again to Zasalamel. "(Humph, that Espada has one cold look.....)" Iyusaka thought to himself as he turned to Sayori. "Don't make any hasty moves Cpt. Kuchiki, we're outnumbered at the moment...." Iyusaka stated.

[Allesk]

Krake shot up getting himself in between the arrows and Reinhardt. He intercepted the arrows flying at the distracted Reinhardt. They deflected off his diamond body. When Baldur noticed the arrancar readying an attack he began to prepare himself. Baldur slammed his legs into the earth grounding himself. He pointed Hundert-schnitt directly at the oncoming lance and Krake spiraled down over Hundert-schnitt and liquidized forming into a thick and large arrow pointed wedge over the hilt, it then solidified. This happened in one swift movement and it all flowed together perfectly. Baldur gripped Hundert-schnitt with both of his hands and tightened his body ready for impact. Hundert-schnitt shot out directly forward but at the same time blades shot out perpendicular to the blade elongating outward these blades shot into the ground to hold it steady and keep the blade straight. The lance met the arrow like head and split around it causing it to slam past Baldur and explode into two buildings behind him. the friction along Krake caused him to become extremely hot and explode outwards into a inky-diamond substance.The substance glowed then Krake reformed infront of Baldur. Krake was however immensely weakened. Hundert-schnitt constricted back into the hilt in Baldur's hands.

"I will not be able do guard off much more." Krake said in a low hoarse voice.

"Yeah I know I'll rely on more of my own abilities for a while. Just go get Reinhardt and protect him." Baldur replied to Krake.

Krake rushed to Reinhardt, his tentacles acting almost spider-like. Two tentacles dropped down and wrapped Reinhardt and secured him onto Krake's back. Krake then returned to Baldur's side.

[ryuujinn]

In the 4th division barracks, Yomi woke up. His face is covered in sweat and there was a look of surprise in his face. Saren was standing beside his bed, conjuring what looked like a set of golden cubes, and a couple of silver tubes. He tried to sit up, and get the Quincy's attention, but his body was aching more than he's ever anticipated.

 

"Yomi, you shouldn't move. Unlike me, you've exhausted your reiatsu more than its limits. Fighting and moving about for more than a day, not to mention having used your bankai more than twice is extremely reckless." Saren remarked, shoving a golden cube down Yomi's mouth, much to the shinigami's surprise. The Quincy also poured silver liquid around Yomi's bandaged body.

 

"What did you do?" Yomi choked, swallowing the cube in one gulp.

 

"Curing you. This sinister fluctuations in reiatsu and that sudden spike in reiatsu strength meant that something is happening in the Northern Part. However," Saren looked towards the door, staring in the direction of the Northern Area, "That Espada earlier, Zasalamel. This pressing and strong reiatsu belongs to him. But why is there such fury and anger lining the reiatsu?"

 

Saren's face contorted with confusion and curiosity. He wanted to know what was going on in the Northern Area. He stashed the remaining golden cubes and silver tubes in his satchel and stood up, heading towards the door. Yomi grabbed his arm as he was about to exit.

 

"What is it? You're healed now, aren't you? Don't try to stop me." Saren remarked coldly towards Yomi.

 

"I'm not going to stop you. I will go to the Northern Area too. If what you said was true, and this Zasalamel is furious, then I must defend Seireitei. Not to mention I worry about the captain who's facing him now." Yomi remarked with a worried look on his face.

 

As they were about to leave, He saw Captain Nato being admitted into the ward. Saren also looked thoughtful as another shinigami captain entered the medical facility. Yomi gave Saren a curious look as the Quincy started to move towards Nato. Saren then shoved a golden cube down Nato's throat, and poured the same silver liquid across the captain's body, the same way he did with Yomi.

 

"I though you hated Shinigamis?" Yomi asked as Saren got back.

 

"I did." Saren replied blankly, the using Hiryenkyaku, disappeared from his spot.

 

"That boy never ceases to amaze me." Yomi smiled, using shunpo to move towards the Northern Area.

[.:Blu:.]

Izearya was awaiting a response from Ganz, when suddenly he felt the spiritual pressures of two captain-level shingami and another quincy. "It appears we will soon have more unexpected surprises......." Izearya stated calmly as he looked towards the direction of the spiritual pressures. Iyusaka could also feel the presence of the spiritual pressures. However, he didn't felt it as strongly as Izearya. "(Three more people are coming. It's hard to make it out, but one of them seems to be coming from Yomi, another from Takeda, and the final one seems to be from a quincy........ Interesting......." Iyusaka thought to himself. "Cpt. Kuchiki, it looks like our comrades are arriving soon." Iyusaka stated.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

As Yomi and Saren made their way to the Northern Area, Takeda appeared right beside them with his zanpakuto sheathed. "Hey sorry to barge out of nowhere. Been awhile since I last saw ya Yomi,and who's he?" Takeda asked while he pointed at Saren.

[ryuujinn]

Yomi was a bit surprised when Captain Takeda appeared from out of nowhere. He was too preoccupied by the thoughts of what was happening on the Northern Area to notice Takeda's approach. Saren didn't looked too thrilled, however, when he saw another shinigami captain approach Yomi and him.

 

"Oh, Takeda-san. It's been a while. I haven't seen you around these parts for a long time. And this," Yomi gestured towards the Quincy beside him, "Is Saren, a Quincy who's helped Kuchiki-san and me, also Nato-san earlier."

 

"Don't get too full of yourself, Yomi. Kuchiki-san wants to help you, that's why I helped you. You should thank her. If it was up to me, I'd have left you dead, or shot you down myself." Saren remarked coldly, moving ahead of Yomi and Takeda.

 

"Don't worry bout that, Takeda-san. He's just like that. Anyway, I've felt several outburst of reiatsu in the northern gates. I wonder which captain's fighting that Espada. I sure hope they're okay." Yomi said, his face filled with worry once again.

[.:Blu:.]

As Saren moved ahead of them, Takeda's face showed signs of irritation. "What the hell is his problem?" Takeda asked Yomi. He then calmed down again and looked at Yomi, giving a confident smile. "Heh, we gotta spar sometime again. You may have beaten me that last time, but I'm gonna destroy you the next time, hehehe." Takeda stated while giving a bloodthirsty smirk. "Anyways, the last time I was there, Iyusaka, Jun Fon, and me were fighting against some bounts. This whole Espada crap is new ta me. But it doesn't really matter, I'll destroy them." Takeda explained.

[Hotaru987]

Sayori frowned when she sensed the spiritual pressure approaching. "I know...It's Yomi-Taicho and Saren...I hope they're ok and not pushing themselves. They were pretty banged up when I left them." She said to Iyusaka, staring off in that direction worry creasing her brow. "Let's just hope they're not going to be dead on their feet when they arrive." She said sheathing her Zanpakuto. "Seems like Takeda-tacho is there as well..."

[.:Blu:.]

Iyusaka looked back at Sayori, noticing her worried look. "Cpt. Kuchiki." Iyusaka said as he gave a reassuring smile to her. "Don't worry, I know Yomi for awhile, and let me tell you, he's not a pushover." Iyusaka stated as he continued to smile at Sayori. "And I'm pretty sure this Saren you're talking about is not the weak kind either." Iyusaka stated to try and reassure Sayori. He then turned back to face the Bounts and Espadas. "And Takeda sure is a hothead. I told him to stay at the 4th Division Barracks for proper medical treatment. {Sigh} I guess some things never change....." Iyusaka stated.

[ryuujinn]

Yomi gave Takeda a hearty smile when he heard the challenge, and gave him a salute, acknowledging the challenge. He the stared ahead as he saw a few sparks of reiatsu go off from the distance. His face suddenly was filled with a worried look. He kept thinking what was happening.

 

"Takeda-san, let's not get too reckless. Who or whatever is in the Northern Gates, they sure have enough reiatsu to fight us off on a greater field." Yomi remarked.

 

Saren, meanwhile, looked extremely focus. He can detect minute movements in reiatsu, and could tell that Sayori is also among one of the captains present in ground zero. He could also tell that it was indeed Zasalamel that released, mainly from the reiatsu he's reading off. Then his body started to feel the chill when he felt two extremely strong reiatsu also present, as if both are completely of completely different level.

 

"Yomi, whoever is at the Northern Area of Seireitei, they have reiatsu far vast and greater than anyone there. There are two of them, and one seemed distinctly familiar, similar to Zasalamel's reiatsu composition, an Arrancar perhaps. The other feels like human, but not human too." Saren remarked, a look of seriousness present across his face.

 

Yomi and Saren's eyes met and both nodded. They both knew that there was something in the battlegrounds to the North that poses a massive threat to their existence. In Yomi's head, he was hoping the Captain Commander shows up any time soon. The battle has become more desperate, and they may not be enough to contain the threat this time.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven released his grip slightly, but not fully. "Heh maybe you right. She couldn't do anything anyways," he said mostly to himself, but loud enough for Iyusaka to hear. Then he noticed how he was speaking to the shinigami. "What are you, in an alliance with the enemy. You do know that is treachery correct," he said coldly retightening his grip on his zanpakuto. Though he was having a conversation with Iyusaka, he felt the spiritual pressures of the 3 beings. The two being shinigami and the last a quincy. 'Hm, I recognize one of them. He saved the pathetic weaklings in that medical barracks. He would be fun to go against,' Sven thought with a smirk.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

Nato had been brought to the 4th Division Barracks, as he had been found lethally injured and almost drained of all his Reiatsu storages. Not only had he been fighting over his own capacities, but he had been using his Bankai to the utmost of its abilities, and it had been taking an extreme toll on his body. When he felt something being shoved down his throat, however, he woke up gagging, seeing a Quincy as he seemed to be healing him.

 

"Ugh! A-Ack! D-Damn it... can't you at least warn me before you do something?"

 

He coughed a bit as he felt the gold cube slide down his throat, down to his stomach, and when the silver liquid poured onto his body, he slowly felt it being healed and cured. He was impressed of the miraculous treatment, and calmed down as he saw it happen. He sighed a bit then as both the Quincy, and what seemed to be Yomi, disappear from spot, moving towards the northern area.

 

"Always on the move... dammit... and here I am, just being recovered. I can't get a break, I guess..."

 

He stood up with surprisingly ease, seemingly completely healed from the QUincy's treatment, as he used Shunpo to travel to the Northern Area as well, before he saw Yomi, the Quincy, and also Cpt. Takeda gathered at once spot. He stopped at their location, moving up to them.

 

"Sorry I am late, I had yet some time to collect my mind and gather up my conscience, it seemed." he said, turning to the QUincy briefly, muttering a 'thanks' before turning to Yomi. "Anyhow, what is the news? What is this talk about events at the Northern Area? As you should know me by now, Yomi-San, information is my most vital key. So if you have anything to share, I am all ears."

[.:Blu:.]

As the group continued to travel towards the Northern Area, Nato appeared alongside the group. Takeda gave a giddy yet eerie smirk. "HA! Nato, just the person I hoped ta see! Later when I'm done defeating Yomi over here, I'm gonna challenge you next and beat you!!!!" Takeda stated loudly as he continued to move with the group. "And if ya want information, there's a crapload of enemies outnumbering the captains. So let's help them out a little huh?!" Takeda stated with a bloodthirsty grin.

 

-Meanwhile-

 

Iyusaka sensed another familiar spiritual pressure. It was Nato, one of the captains that is able to impress Iyusaka when it comes to fighting. "(Heh, so looks like Nato is coming out to help too huh?)" Iyusaka thought to himself as he can't help but give a smile. Izearya then turned and stared at Iyusaka with cold eyes. "Don't act so happy........... No matter how many captains come to help.......... all of the Soul Society will be destroyed......... There's no stopping it........" Izearya stated calmly as Iyusaka's smile faded into a serious face.

[namelessk]

"Trash? How dare you call me trash?" Fui demanded as his reiatsu flared up even more to match Zasalamel's already flared up reiatsu. "No one insults me or my race by calling us trash." Fui said in a chilling voice as his famous smirk formed across his face. Even when angry he still smiled it seemed. But this smirk was more chilling and cold than the others had been. Anyone who saw it would now know that Fui meant business and that he was now getting serious.

 

Fui watched as Zasalamel's reiatsu spiked even more and he took on a new form. "Interesting. I thought Arrancar only had one form?" Fui asked. He then saw the lance-like projectiles, three of them this time, and cero heading towards Baldur, Reinhardt, and him. They seemed wickedly powerful, and this was proved true when he saw them knock Reinhardt unconscious even after he had summoned his doll to protect himself. "Reinhardt." Fui called out without looking towards him.

 

It was in that moment that Fui's reiatsu spiked even more and an unbearable pressure descended on the battlefield. "You hurt one of my best men." Fui's cold voice stated. Ganz simply stood there and withstood it, closing his eyes as it descended upon him. His own reiatsu spiked a little to push it back, but it was only a minor spike that it was barely noticeable. That Bount...if things keep up, he will destroy this place.

 

"Zeige Dich, Schwerkraft" Fui's voice mumbled as the lance-like projectile and cero headed towards him. He moved his fists together into a side fist bump, and the rings on his fingers seemed to lock together where it looked as if one fit into the other. The two rings together then formed into a circle which glowed a sinister dark blue. The circle then exploded out and grew larger, covering most of Fui's body as a large shield. The shield was half white and half black with small circles engraved around it, with each small circle alternating from white to black for every other one. In the center of the shield was an engraving of the Bount symbol with lines extending from the outside of the circle to the symbol.

 

The shield's center spiraled and opened up just as the cero and lance were growing closer. A powerful suction then took effect as they grew nearer, and they were quickly sucked into the center of the shield. The shield then closed and glowed blue. These attacks. They're too powerful. I can't send them back at him or they'll destroy this place..along with me. Fui then angled the shield so that it pointed upwards, and it opened up once again. As soon as it opened, an enormous blast of reiatsu was shot out, aiming straight up into the sky. Fui watched as the blast of reiatsu, overpowered with excess energy from having been converted from the cero and lance, exploded within the air along, creating a large cloud of smoke which shrouded the field in slight darkness and sent powerful shockwaves around.

 

Fui then lowered the shield, and it seemed to simply disappear as it shrunk away. "I'll give you that one Arrancar, but you will not get me with another attack such as that." Fui stated coldly, his smirk still there. He lifted his hand and waved it in and out, signaling for Zasalamel to attack him again.

 

"Enough!" Ganz suddenly called out, his voice in the same monotone as before but with more authority to it. "I appreciate your loyalty Zasalamel, but that is enough. You could destroy this place with your Segunda Etapa. If he possesses a real threat, I will handle him myself." Ganz said in the same monotone. Ganz's eyes then shifted around, staring at all of the newcomers to the battle without saying a word.

 

"Handle me? Who do you think you are?" Fui asked, fury growing slightly in his voice. Fui raised his right hand, and the water at his feet lifted into the air. It then shot forward in one single wave. As it reached Ganz, it split down the middle and then slammed into him from the sides, sharprning as it did to act like a pair of scissors. Ganz simply stood there as the water came at him, closing his eyes even as it grew near.

 

The water crashed into Ganz, cutting him in half and vivisecting him at his midsection. "You should calm yourself. Your king is in check." Ganz's voice echoed around Fui. Fui raised his shield in front of him, and a hand seemed to appear there, stabbed into it. A small dent formed where the hand had stabbed. The arm connected to the hand then appeared as well as the shoulder and then the chest, and continued down to the legs. Finally, the head appeared, revealing it to be Ganz. In the blink of an eye, he was gone, reappearing some feet to Fui's right. "Anger never helps one in a battle. It only clouds the vision." he said, staring at Fui with the same emotionless expression.

 

Fui was immensed in the battle before him, but he still could sense the reiatsu of the approaching captains and the Quincy, Saren. Even if they do bring reinforcements, no one will be able to stop me now.

 

[spoiler=OOC:] Sorry for the long post. I couldn't get on yesterday because I fell asleep as soon as I got home and I didn't even get to finish my homework. Also, sorry about the wait for the Captain-Commander. He will be coming soon. I want to drop him in in a situation where Seireitei looks desperately hopeless without him. It looks hopeless now, but I mean super hopeless. :p

"Where is the Captain Commander when you need him?" Sayori mumbled still standing behind Iyusaka, watching the battle between the Arrancar and the Bount. "I sense that all of the captains present will be here soon." She thought for a while before turning to Iyusaka, "Where is Jackle-Taicho? I know I sensed his bankai earlier but I haven't been able to sense him for a long while...I hope he's ok." Things aren't looking too good right now...I wan't to be optimistic, but I don't even think Jackle is alive anymore...

[.:Blu:.]

After hearing what Sayori had asked, Iyusaka's face became grim. "Cpt. Kuchiki....... I'm afraid Jackel is dead....... I was close to him during the hollow invasion of the gates...... He was killed....... I'm sorry you have to hear this......" Iyusaka stated in sorrow. "It's always sad to lose a comrade......." Iyusaka said as he turned around and face Sayori with a warm yet saddened smile. "It'll be alright..... Trust me....." Iyusaka was then cut off by Izearya. "Stop giving false hope and promises shinigami....... Jackel, as you call him, die because he was weak.... there's no denying that fact..... you can try to cover it up with foolish words like that..... but in the end, the truth is the truth........ stop living a false fantasy........" Izearya stated in an emotionless tone.
