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

[ryuujinn]

"Honestly..."

 

Reinhardt's voice came from behind, Vereisen and Schmerz sealed once again as do all other dolls in the area. He didn't anticipated such presence, nor did Fui warned them of anyone such as the cloaked lady. His gaze at the lady was both calculating and cold. He does not trust anyone other than bounts, no matter the strength. BUt then, he's no fool either. He knew the lady was more powerful than he is. He would play along, for now.

 

"Shinigamis, Arrancars, Quincies, Bounts, they're all the same. Each race wanted to possess power for the sake of possessing power. Does it entail any difference? If one race get their hands on the Heigou, they will use its power to their own ends, regardless. While each faction bickers here deciding who is more worthy, I suggest you decide it for yourself." Reinhardt remarked, crossing both arms and giving a rather cold aura.

 

The cloaked lady gave a rather misty sigh. She gazed at everyone on the field, giving off a colder aura. She then touched exposed the base of her neck, revealing a seal of sorts. It was there, clearly seen amidst the pale skin, what looked like a small cube. It resonated with power. It was the Heigou.

 

"You all wish to wield such power. To make peace? Am I to believe this? The Heigou was ripped from its former owner, half of it at least, so that there will be a balance of power. And now you all wish to take this half for peace?"

 

The cloaked lady then snapped her fingers, producing a massive field around the perimeter. The box Silvia was holding, which supposedly contained the Heigou, burst into a multitude of colors, producing a barrier around the temple grounds, trapping everyone in. She then removed the hem of her cloak, revealing her face. It was Kyokotsu, the lady claiming to be a true bount. However, she looked slightly, different, and certainly radiated a different level of aura. She then ripped the space beside her, revealing an old man. It was the same man that Saren's group fought, the Zero Division Member, Kyokotsu Garandou.

 

"The guardians of the Heigou stands before those who would take it. This artifact is sealed and must not be touched. Leave now or suffer the consequences."

 

The two guardians unanimously spoke in an eerie, synchronized tone. A small rip in space appeared amidst the other races. It was an exit portal. From within, people could see Seireitei, Las Noches, and a Dark corridor. Each one leading to the world each Faction would deem to return to.

 

"Leave now, or suffer the consequences." The two guardians said in unison in an eerie voice once again. The factions were given a choice. Leave using the portal, or face whatever consequences the guardians had in store for them.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Jisan was under a little bit of confusion within himself. "I didn't mind helping the shinigami keeping peace because I honestly don't care for the bounto[?]. Truthfully I never hated the shinigami at all, sure they slayed a lot of hollow and arrancar but, eh we'll get over it." Jisan said as he turned towards the exit portals and examined them. "So, I just go through the Las Noches one? I think an Espasda ranked arrancar doesn't belong in the middle of Seireitei so these things have to be accurate." Jisan said, not really caring if they got this stone of power everyone wanted, in his opinion if you want to change the world you do it on your own strength.

[.:Blu:.]

Takeda saw that the cloak lady was Kyokotsu all along. "Tsch.... Here we go again...." Takeda said with irritation shown in his voice. "Hey!!! I haven't gone this far just to give up on the damn Heigou!!!" Takeda yelled out in annoyance. Takeda didn't care if she fused with someone. He just wanted to have a reason to fight.

 

Izearya on the other hand now turned his attention to Kyokotsu. "....." Izearya stared at her silently. Takeda looked to all the captains. "Yo! Are we gonna fight are what?!" Takeda yelled out to all of the captains. He was ready to activate his shikai to fight against Kyokotsu. "(Damn it.... but even I now her strength is pass my level.... I can't take her on alone... and I don't even know if all of the captains together can defeat her....)" Takeda thought to himself.

[namelessk]

Sadness formed across Karek's face when he hard what Pandora had said. He quickly spun on his heel to face him. Karek was glad when Akiyama spoke up, but he also had to say something himself. "So is that what you truly believe? All shinigami are not cold merciless murderers. Those who hunted you Bount have long gone. I believe they were wrong for that, but it was what the old Captain-Commander wished to be done. If Fui had not attacked Seireitei long ago, then the Bount now would not even be regarded as a threat or an enemy." Karek said, his voice calm yet wavering a little. Both the Quincy and the Bount saw his race as evil for their actions against both of them. The Shinigami had their hands dirtied with blood from both races for their past actions, and it seemed that they would never be forgiven.

 

Karek then heard Takeda's voice. "What are you saying? We cannot fight them. That old man there was able to withstand the might of three Captains and a Quincy. He took all of our attacks and never wavered. I am sure that that cloaked woman is as strong as him. We would stand no chance to their powers together, even if we did work together." Karek said. He was only being wise. He didn't want to start anything or fight those two figures guarding the Heigou. The Heigou was a powerful object, and if the cloaked woman had it sealed within her neck, then there was no way that they could take it back. What do we do? There's no way all of the factions here will work together in order to retrieve that Heigou, and even after the battle is won, how will we decide who gets it?

[.:Blu:.]

"Well what are we gonna do?! Stand here and give up???!!!" Takeda yelled at Karek. "Are we just going to be cowards and give up when things look tough?! Is that what being a captain means???!!! If it is.... Then I rather be the lowest ranking shinigami possible...." Takeda then looked up towards Kyokotsu and then back at Karek. "I would risk my life if it means fulfilling my mission.... And that's why I became a shinigami in the first place.... I never once done a mission where I don't look forward to dying.... And that's why I'm able to fight at 100%, cause I'm not afraid to lay my life on the line when I need to.... Now then, what do you suppose we do Karek? Give up?" Takeda asked.

[namelessk]

He isn't getting it. There's more at stake than just fighting and losing to them. They were losing precious time standing here arguing like this. Whose to say that the Bount Leader wasn't on the way at that exact moment. He turned to Takeda and then looked back at the cloaked lady and the old man. "That Heigou will not be safe here. There is a man powerful enough to come here and get it himself once he is notified. Do you want that?" Karek asked the two guardians. He could see that they didn't seem to listen to any of his pleas or the pleas of the others. He then turned back to Takeda. "Even if we did fight together and take them on, we would need the help of all of the factions. Hollow, Bount, and Quincy alike. That old man possesses the powers of a Shinigami and a Hollow." Karek said. "And even then, after they were beaten, who is to say who will get the Heigou? How will we decide who it goes to after they have been defeated?" Karek asked.

[.:Blu:.]

"I don't care Karek, but I'm not just gonna stand here and do nothing. And that's treason to be working with the likes of Hollows and Bounts! I don't care! There's gotta be a way to defeat this person. But fine, I'll listen for a minute. So, what is your plan then Karek since you think you know what to do. Please enlighten me on it so I can finish this damn mission!" Takeda yelled out in anger. Takeda hated the fact that he knows the shinigami might need to work with the Bounts and Hollows to defeat this person. Takeda clutched his fists together tightly in frustration.

[Hotaru987]

Since Yoru and Yori didn't exactly know what this thing they were looking for was, they kept quiet listening to everyone else say their piece. Sayori on the other hand was contemplating whether or not to go through the portal. She knew they would need all the help they could get, even if all factions somehow came together. However, Iyusaka was still in need of medical attention, and unless the cloaked lady undo whatever it was to lock everyone's reiatsu she couldn't help him. During the debate between Karek and Takeda she only listened, opting not to even attept to get in the middle of it.

[ryuujinn]

Saren gave a slight moan, softly moving up to stand. He's still feeling rather nauseated from using his Black Gate Techniques. He's recovered his strength at least, and his nausea was no more than the effect of lying around too long. He stood up and gauged the situation. His expertise in spirit particles and reiatsu kicked in, and so does his uncanny ability to detect reiatsu-related objects. He was suddenly hearing voices in his head. It seemed blurry at first, but then it became clear who was speaking. It was Fui.

 

His eyes then glowed, and his body was quivering slightly. In his mind he could hear two people conversing, something about splitting the two pieces of Heigou. Then a vision flashed in his eyes. Someone stabbed Fui, and took out a part of the Heigou. His vision then switched to the point of view of the person who stabbed Fui. The Heigou pulsated, at least half of it, on the hand of the person, while the other half remained lifeless inside Fui. The vision then ended, causing Saren to fall to his knees once again.

 

What was that? The Bount leader has the other half of the Heigou? What does this mean? Saren thought to himself, placing the heel of his palm on his right temple, massaging it carefully.

 

Suddenly, strands of reiatsu shot from the ground and constricted Saren. The strands bound his limbs and body together, finally shooting him towards the temple, his mouth wrapped with a cloth-like substance. Kyokotsu, the lady, then gave a stern look to the rest of the people in the area while Saren was tied to one of the temple's post by the white strand of reiatsu.

 

"Those who knows of the secret will be kept silent and will not be allowed to leave. This quincy has tapped into the Heigou, and saw that which must not be seen." Kyokotsu, the lady, spoke out in her eerie, hushed voice.

[Damiano Tosē]

Sousuke woke up in the morning from his barracks and sat up quickly. He had a little pain in his back from the fight that he had with Zasalamel. "Damn... that surely hurted... but although i did miss alot of action over the past days or weeks when i was out cold. I hope people are still in the Soul Society."

 

Sousuke said as he got up from his barracks and left his top off, bandages wrapped around the left side of his chest. He grabbed his Zanpaktou and left his place, still had his kimono bottom on but top off. He went thruout all over the Soul Society looking for anybody with still existance, he found nobody.

 

"Damn... where is everbody?" Sousuke said as he went to the Chambers and saw nobody.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Jisan was about to leave, except something bothered him. It was all this talk of races and power and who what get what. "That's enough." Jisan's voice was pretty loud and clear, being that nobody else was really talking at the time. "If ya wanna change the world so more why don't ya just do it on yer own power." Jisan said, to all who were at the temple. "May I suggest that you all save just finish um now and scratch out the details later, dang, everything in life shouldn't be as hard as lengthening wood that's already been cut." Jisan said, loud enough for all to hear him.

[Hotaru987]

Sayori could only watch as Saren was tied up only after finally coming too. The woman said something about him having tapped into the power of the Hogeku. This is bad. The guardian is too strong even for all of the captains together...Not only that but some of the captains are either MIA or incompacitated. It would take them help of every fraction here....As much as I hate to say that. But even if every single person here has that same thought our pride is to great. And even if we all somehow work together then how will we all decide who will get the Hogeku? It will only lead to another all out brawl. Sayori sighed.

 

The twins were standing off to the side bordly. They were just about ready for anything to happen. That and for the lady to give them their powers back. "We shouldve just stayed home." Yori mumbled earning an elbow from his younger sister, and superior.

[namelessk]

[spoiler=OOC]Okay, so I don't know why exactly this died when Kyokotsu came. It was just getting to the fun part. The war arc! But, I'm gonna try to revive it now by speeding it up and changing around my plans a little.

 

 

From out of thin air behind Kyokotsu, a hand suddenly reached out. This would frighten her and surprise everyone at the same time since it had been so unexpected. It happened right after Karek had yelled out. The hand then grabbed onto the female 's shoulder and gripped it tightly. Lines formed on the sides of the hand within the air, and then from those lines, cracks began spreading out. Soon, the cracks grew too much, and the air behind Kyokotsu was suddenly shattered. The hand reached out more, and following it was a dark brown trenchcoat, a familiar black shirt with the chain hanging down from the topmost button, black pants with a brown belt strapped on over the shirt instead of underneath, and black boots. Then, the face of the figure was finally revealed, pulling itself from the crack within the air. It was a familiar face, easily recognizable to most there. The famous smirk was on the face of this figure and his determined eyes stared down on everyone.

 

"Hello." the figure said, his gaze glancing upon everyone there before resting on Kyokotsu, whom he was holding onto. "I've found you. Now give it back." he said, his grip growing tighter on her shoulder. His eyes gazed to the male Kyokotsu as well, before moving back to the female Kyokotsu. He was keeping an eye out for the male Kyokotsu in case he made any attacks. "I didn't tap into it only to get trapped and come here for nothing. Now, hand it over." the figure demanded, the smirk still on his face.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What?" Karek asked, disbelief on his face as he saw the cracks forming within the air. He wasn't sure of what to make it. He thought that it was a Garganta opening, but then when the figure whose hand had torn through the air came out of it, he realized that it was a human. "Who is that man? What does he mean tapped into it?" Karek asked around. He hadn't been informed completely on all of this Heigou business, and so he didn't know who the man was exactly. He had never seen him before.

[.:Blu:.]

Takeda's eyes widened with surprise as he saw the enigmatic figure. Takeda's eyes then narrowed as he clenched his fists tighter. "Tsch, didn't expect things to happen like this...." Takeda said in a quiet tone instead of his usual boisterous voice. "That man.... is the leader of the bounts.... Fui Moritaka...." Upon saying those words, the scene zoomed in to show Fui's face, with that smirk of calm and subtle arrogance. That smirk could easily break a normal person's will. The air felt denser, and much more eerie. A slight sweatdrop traveled from Takeda's face onto the ground without a single noise. It was almost absolute silence. "I've fought him before.... He's.... He's not someone to taken lightly.... This time.... He's even stronger than before.... Even my pride is breaking at this moment...." Takeda said as he starred upon Fui with nervous eyes.

[Hotaru987]

Could things have really gotten so bad so fast? Ever since we've got here bad luck has befallen our group, and now Fui has returned. Sayori glanced over at Take beads of sweat rolling down her young face. It took a lot to get Takeda worried, and for him to saw and act the way he did Fui wasn't someone to tangle with. She didn't fight him, but from what she witness back at the seireitei Takeda's worries were not for show. Meanwhile, the twins were looking at the new turn of events now intrigued. "So that's Fui. Hn, he doesnlt look all that tou-""Shut up Yoru." Yori cut her brother off her hands lightly shaking. "You're lucky your pesquisa skills aren't as sharp as mine....But even still...By the way he carries himself you can tell he is strong. Don't go saying anything stupid. Especially with our powers still locked away by that cloaked woman." She ended watching the new comer, who the earlier shinigami called Fui, closely.

[ryuujinn]

Even as the events unfold before the female Kyokotsu, she did not seemed disturbed, neither did the old man Kyokotsu. Both of them looked nonchalant, and casual. The air around the two were unshifting and regardless. The female Kyokotsu then shook her head, and gave a short sigh before she started to open her mouth.

 

"You live again on false pretense, Moritaka."

 

The female Kyokotsu reappeared a few feet to the right, along with the old man. Fui was resting his hand on thin air by then, which was somewhat remarkable. It was impossible to do, and there was no way the Heigou Guardian could've done it, unless..

 

"While there exist this ceasefire, only the guardians can use Sonido, and/or Shunpo." The female Kyokotsu explained.

 

"Yes. We could simply finish you all off here. Not one could've evade either of us." the old man remarked arrogantly.

 

"Silence."

 

The last word from the female was enough to stay the old man's emotions. Without even a whimper or a glance back, the old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Between the two, it seemed that the female was the one in control. That much can be seen, especially with the way she silenced the old man. She then turned towards Fui, and gave the bount leader a slight gaze of intrigue. On the old man's face, there was only contempt and a rather annoyed expression.

 

"Moritaka. I am under the impression that the Heigou is not yours anymore. Your demands will not be granted to you simply because you demanded it." The female Kyokotsu remarked coldly.

 

Right beside her, the old man has already drawn out his zanpakutou. Slithers of bones and blood emerged from the earthen grounds of the temple, and encircled the old man violently. Unlike the female, the old man was more aggressive. Spiritual pressure bore down the entire field like an invisible hand pushing down on everyone. A glint of malice and aggression were present on the eyes of the old man as he gave a sinister grin towards Fui.

 

"Do you want to remember how the Heigou was forcibly split from you?" Old man Kyokotsu challenged, pointing his zanpakutou at Fui.

 

However, from the side, the female one tap the old man's shoulder, prompting the latter to lower his weapon. The female then snapped her fingers, and the power restriction around them was lifted. However, the barrier was still in place, and the last of the portals out were extinguished. There was no going away from the place anymore.

 

"I have given you all the chance to go away unharmed. However. Moritaka has showed himself, and thus, you all have heard what must not be heard. My apologies," The female Kyokotsu drew out her scythe and stabbed the old man with it. Without any reaction, the old man dissipated and became spirit particles, which the female absorbed through her mouth. As the last particle was absorbed, a pillar of light erupted from the heavens and shot towards Kyokotsu, bathing her in a heavenly glow. It was blinding, and no one present could've seen her through the light. The ground shook as lightning started to pound the very earthen grounds of the temple. Within moments, orbs of darkness encircled the pillar of light, followed by a torrent of fire and water, spiraling around the pillar. The earth beneath the pillar rose up, and broke in smaller chunks, encircling the pillar of light. Finally, a vortex of air encompassed the pillar and the other elements. With one extreme surge of spiritual pressure, the temple itself was destroyed, and the maelstrom of elements imploded, sucked inwards by what looked like a void.

 

From within the void, a cackle of energy shot out randomly, decimating everything it hits. Reinhardt dodged an incoming energy as Vereisen grabbed him by the scruffs of his neck. Succeeding energy shots were then dodged by Vereisen using her wings. Other shots of energy went towards the others in the place, including Fui, the shinigamis, bounts, and the Arrancars. One hit from the surges of energy will ultimately destroy anything it touches, even the strongest barriers, shields, kido, and even dolls. But it wasn't homing, and travels in a straight line, albeit shooting randomly.

 

Another full minute, and the void collapsed in on itself, transforming into a humanoid figure. A female stood in the place of Kyokotsu, one that is completely different from her. She has pony-tailed, long, black hair, and a fair, brown complexion. Her upper body was covered with bandages, and along her waist was a tattered Zero-Division haori. She wore a red hakama around her lower body, and has no footwear. Her eyes were deadly blue, and her expression was also one that was serious. Around her neck was a black collar, and an inch above her breast was a small hole similar to a hollow. Inside was the other part of the Heigou, one that activates Fui's full power. It cackled with energy, and current of reiatsu traveled around the female's body. Her zanpakutou is an elegantly long, and deadly nodachi. Its slender blade was bristling with power. The female swung her sword downwards, with little efforts. Its effect was, however, tremendous. It blasted the ground beneath hear and formed a 30-feet deep crater that's about 20-meters wide.

 

[spoiler=[b]Kyokotsu Garandou, Forma Ultima[/b]]

 

 

"Forma Ultima: Cataclisma."

 

Kyokotsu's voice was also replaced by a calm, hollowfied one. It was as if two people were speaking, although a dominant female tone lined the voice. Her visage fell on the entire group of people on the field, including Fui.

 

"I am Kyokotsu Garandou, the Guardian of the Heigou. You are all hereby decreed to die."

 

She opened a palm, and conjured something in front of her. It looked like a doll of sorts, a mannequin without any clothing. Its empty face appeared first, followed by its humanoid, wooden body. Within moments, the entire mannequin stood in front of Kyokotsu, lifeless as it is. She then stabbed her zanpakutou onto the mannequin, giving it life.

 

"Zeige Dich, Weltzerstörer!"

 

The mannequin came to life, and a black rapier formed around its right hand. It assumed a fighting stance and gazed at the opposition. Something was bothersome about the seemingly plain looking mannequin. Its name, when translated, meant "World Destroyer". Zerstörer was already troublesome earlier when he fought the bounts, and certainly had the looks to back it up. This one, however, had a terrifying name, but a rather simple look. What could the doll possibly do?

 

It was then that it split its body into two, cutting off its arm and from it a new doll of the same make formed. The severed limb grew back on the first doll, as its faceless visage gazed down on the others.

 

"Milady."

 

Weltzerstörer said in his lifeless tone. Kyokotsu merely nodded, and in an instant, the replicated doll suddenly drew something on the air, the Kanji for Shadow. Its body started to turn black, like a shadow, and it grew a pair of red, flaming eyes. Without another word, it shot several tendrils of pointed shadow towards everyone on the field. They will have to be taken care of before anything can be done. The tendrils were strong, but were not entirely unblock-able.

[Allesk]

Uwaki released his zanpokutou and extended it to wrap around the incapacitated Kaosu, He the maneuvered Kaosu out of harms way while he himself shunpoed out of the way of the oncoming beams and debris. He pulled Kaosu closer so he could protect him better. "Stupid Quincy." He spat. Kaosu then had his zanpokutou release its hold on Kaosu and when the tendrills formed he spun slashing towards them attempting to cut them down. While he did this he performed bakudou 39, arc shield. To protect Kaosu from the tendrils he could not defend from.

---------------------------------------------------

 

Reifujin screamed as she fell from the collapsing ground and was slammed with an oncoming bolder from the temple ground. Then a beam of light shot out and peirced though her. She was suddenly obliterated. Killed instantly.

 

OOC: I didn't care for her so i figured I'd just kill her off while I had the opportunity.

---------------------------------------------------

 

Adilei released Bo. A orb of wind formed around her and She began to fly around avoiding all the obstacles. When she noticed that Baldur was struggling to avoid everything. She looked around but could not see any of the other bount. She hoped that they would be able to defend themselves. "Bo, help him." She said as a wind orb appeared around Baldur and carried him up towards Bo and Adilei while avoiding the beams and pushing away the projectiles. Once everything settled Bo lowered the two to the ground and Adilei released Schlange. Schlange spewed poison from his mouth at the tendrils eating away at them while Bo conjured violent winds to throw them away from them. Baldur released Krake and he formed into a giant square sheild infront of him to block out the tendrils. "Thanks Adilei." Baldur shouted to her as he sliced through the tendrils.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Whilst all seemed to be dodging and attacking the tendrils, some of the tendrils maneuvered around the shield of reitsu energy and were coming for Kaosu's back. Jisan drew his zanpokuto and the blade of it went bright red. "Cero Slicer..." Jisan said to his sword and then launched a slicing cero attack, rather then the straight forward blast other shinigami's used. Thus, cutting through the tendrils and having them drop to the ground just before they hit. "We don't have time to argue right now, I suggest a temporary alliance, do you concur?" Jisan said, using his Cero Slicer to cut through more tendrils and different obstacles floating in the air.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Silvia knew that she just had to get away somehow. All this evasion was just getting her opponent worked up. She would end up having to fight him if she wanted to leave. She looked back as the smoke came towards her and Drache. In order to avoid it she thought, she would have to leave Drache temporarily. She got onto Drache’s back and jumped off while Drache flew in the opposite direction. She rolled as she hit the ground and noticed the smoke disappear and then noticed her shirt. Drache had returned to the pattern for some unknown reason.

 

Then suddenly she was back at the temple with everyone who had come for the Heigou. The box in her hands then seemed to disappear she noted and now she was leaning on a barrior. “This can’t be good,” she thought until she saw Fui appear. A smirk formed on her face as she knew things would become much easier now that he was here. She didn’t listen to the words the strong female was saying since she knew Fui was strong as well as the other bounts. As the energy came at her, she jumped to the side and dodged it with some ease since she was a fair distance away. As the shadow tendril came though she ducked down and allowed it to go over her.

 

Also as she ducked, she resummoned Drache and took flight into the air above the entire battle to watch it as it went on. “I shall backup Fui once he engages in battle.

----------------------------------------------------------

 

When Kisune, Rogue and Christine appeared at the temple top, they were surprised at what was going on. Kisune looked at his zanpakuto returned to its sealed form and he wondered what was going on. Then as the female made her entrance, Kisune knew it was going to get bad fast. As the female repeated herself, he was about to answer then heard Karek speak. He decided to stay silent after that and protect Sayori, who would be needed a lot when all this was over and Rogue, his wife and vice-captain. Christine stood shocked seeing all the power levels fight with each other. She also noticed the white Reiatsu particles flying around and felt her powers increase just a bit. Rogue stood behind Kisune, so she didn’t see what was going on, but from the conversations going on she knew a fight was about to ensue. As the energy beam came, Kisune grabbed Rogue and Sayori and moved them out of the way. When the darkness tendril came, he released his Shikai and a wall of purple flames blocked the darkness from them. “Rogue guard Sayori while I guard you both. This battle I believe will get bad fast,” he said.

----------------------------------------------------------

 

Turantura lifted up his free hand and caught the blade of Pandora as it came for the slice. If Pandora had gone to his right, it would have been harder to catch the blade, but since it was his left it was easier. With his training with Sven, the Reiatsu didn’t slow him at all. “I am not that easy to defeat,” he said as he sliced diagonally upwards into Pandora’s side. However when the command Cease was heard, his attack stopped and he didn't know what exactly had happened until he used his Pesquisa to see who said it. Since Sven didn’t have any Pesquisa and he was focused on his Fraccion’s fight, he didn’t take notice of Karek at all.

 

When the command Cease was heard by him though, he felt a huge power surge. "Hm interesting. Someone seems strong," he said to himself. However he did not turn around, he just sat seeing what his Fraccion would do. Turantura turned to see the female who had given the command. He decided that he would attack and kill her before killing the Bount.

 

As the energy beam came, Turantura grabbed Sven and moved him out of the way as well as himself. Then when the darkness tendril came, he blasted a cero from each hand into each tendril, deflecting them off their intended path. "Now this shall be fun," he said.

----------------------------------------------------------

[Li††le Mons†er]

Pandora's eyes widened as he saw that Fui arrived. "It seems I am not as reliable as I once was." He said. Then The scene began to alter as the two Kyokotsu's merged into one being. When the beams of light shot out Pandora hot away to the side in a burst of speed evading it. Then once the new Kyokotsu formed Pandora watched as she formed her new doll. He was disgusted with her ability to conjure a doll. She was no bount. Then the doll used some sort of Kanji and shadow tendrils shot towards him. He raised his hands circular grids appearing in front of his hands. The tendrils collided with the grids and disappeared at once. Then Pandora started to make his way towards Fui. He wanted to be close in case Fui needed help. Even if he was unsure how Fui would ever need help.

[namelessk]

"Hmph." Fui said and clenched his hand into a fist as he realized that he was no longer holding onto Kyokotsu. "You're still as stubborn as before." Fui said, his smirk growing wider. He was now grinning as he turned towards where Kyokotsu had now moved and stared at her. "You might as well just hand it over. Save yourself from being broken." Fui said. Though he was grinning, he was still, however, very serious. He wanted the Heigou, and he would do whatever he could to get his hands on it. Fui was moving his right hand to the gourd on his belt when he saw the male Kyokotsu stab into the male Kyokotsu. He knew that these two were the Guardians of the Heigou, but he had not known that they would still be alive, and so he had not told his Bount about the Guardians. After they had not come back for some time, he had decided to track it himself and got trapped, but eventually ripped himself out from the void with what little power he did have left of the Heigou to find them here. Now, the two Guardians were combining, and he watched as this happened, his smirk remaining on his face. He didn't want to fight them to get the Heigou, but if he had to then he would.

 

When the beams of light were coming towards him, he quickly reached into his right coat pocket and pulled out a golden wheel. "Zieg Dich, Blitzrad." he called out. The golden wheel in his hands burst into reiatsu, and around him formed a large wheel made of lightning. It began spinning immediately after being summoned, and generated a mass of lightning around Fui, forming itself into a sphere of lightning. This sphere of lightning increased in power and was enough to take the hits from the light beams. Fui remained within the spinning wheel, watching as the woman stepped out. Damn it. It'll be harder now to get that Heigou back. She has taken her full form. He watched as she used her power to summon a doll, which then proceeded to attack everyone with shadow tendrils. The wheel of lightning continued to spin as the tendrils came, generating even more lightning and power. The lightning generated incredible light and heat, enough to disperse the tendrils that came near it.

 

The look on Fui's face was one of intensity, but he still held the same smirk, though it was slightly fading now. He was getting annoyed with the Guardian. "Give me back my power." Fui commanded as the wheel of lightning stopped spinning around him and rose up into the air. Fui was then gone from where he stood, becoming only a blur. He reappeared in front of the Guardian, a dark blue blade in his hand. He sliced down onto the Guardian, putting power into his swing. How had he gotten a blade? He didn't even use weapons, and if it was his doll, when had he had the time to summon it? His control and power with his doll was truly something if he had been able to summon and shape it in that short amount of time in which he had moved towards the Guardian Kyokotsu. "How long will you keep this up before I break you?" Fui said, grinning as his slash came down on the Guardian.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaishi missed all the action, having been knocked out during it by Takeda. He was just now waking up, as the light beams and shadow tendrils were coming at him. He shook his head and then his eyes opened up wide in shock. He quickly lifted his hand and called out "Ziege Dich, Versteckten Krieger." Before him, blackish gray smoke formed into a samurai warrior with glowing yellow eyes visible in his kabuto helmet. The samurai quickly drew his blades and released with his bakudo, two fast waves of darkness. The darkness waves collided with the light beams and exploded in mid air. Then, the samurai sliced again, four times this time, to produce four darkness waves which sliced into the tendrils coming at Kaishi. The waves continued and were now heading for Kyokotsu's doll. Kaishi looked around the battlefield, and it was then that he noticed that Fui was fighting the Guardian. "When did Master Fui arrive? I have failed him." Kaishi said out loud to himself.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Kasen watched all that was going on with interest. He didn't really even know what they were talking about. Then suddenly, Fui appeared, and he grew more interested. This was the man that the Primera had warned him about. He was too powerful. Then, as Kasen was thinking that, he saw beams of light heading towards him. He quickly used Sonido to move out of the way of them and then just as he had dodged those, tendrils of shadow were heading towards him. "Hey! No fair!" he called out as he formed a cero within his hands. He concentrated it and shaped it into a blade which he then swung around him to cut into the tendrils and destroy them. He stared up into the air at Fui attacking the Guardian. "Primera said to stay away from him, but he also said not to let him get that Heigou thing." Kasen said. He then cupped his hands to his mouth and yelled down to all of the Espada around him. "Hey guys, Primera said not to let that Fui guy get the Heigou!" Kasen exclaimed to the others. He then disappeared in a burst of sonido, moving towards Fui and the Guardian.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Karek was unsure of what to do. He heard Takeda's comment about Fui being the leader of the Bount, but he just didn't know what to make of it. He wasn't sure what he should do at that moment. He looked around at everyone, seeing them just watching Fui and the Guardian as they talked. Who was this man to oppose the Guardians by himself and with such confidence? Everyone was afraid to fight them for fear of being defeated and losing their lives, and this man was now here with a confident smirk on his face, threatening the Guardian and demanding the Heigou. He said that it was his power. Could that be true? Suddenly, Karek was in the path of a beam of light sent out by Kyokotsu's transformation. He quickly shunpo'd twice backwards and then used a shunpo to move into the air to avoid the beams coming at him. His eyes widened at seeing the new Kyokotsu before them. So the old man Kyokotsu and the cloaked woman were one and the same? How could this be? Karek then saw the tendrils of shadow coming at him now.

 

He held his hand up, concentrating on all of the noise going on around him. He focused on this noise and absorbed it into himself. "Reiatsu Screech!" he called out, and a powerful piercing screech of sound was released from his body. The screech blasted into the tendrils, and dispersed them due to the powerful frequency of the sound with reiatsu added to it to disperse the tendril's reiatsu. Karek then moved his hand down and looked around. Then, he remembered about Saren. He quickly cupped his hands together and began chanting as he gathered reiatsu into his hands, "Finesse of a God, hand of a puppeteer. Give me power over all that lives and breathes. Grant me the will to make and break the dreams to which I see fit. Bakudo 35: Binding Doll." Upon finishing, the reiatsu within his hands moved out and formed in front of him. It became an exact copy of himself. The copy turned towards him and stood there, waiting for an order. "Quickly. Rescue Saren. I need to know what exactly it was that he saw. Maybe we can use that to defeat this Guardian and stop Fui from obtaining the Heigou." Karek ordered his clone. The clone then used shunpo and disappeared in a hurry. It was now moving across the battlefield to Saren to help him.

 

Then, even as this happened, Karek heard Kasen shout that the Primera Espada did not want Fui obtaining the Heigou. It seemed that even the Arrancar were afraid of the power he would wield upon gaining it. It was then that Karek decided to do something drastic. He looked up towards where Yomi and Zasalamel were. "Captain Yomi. We should work with these Espada. Their goal is the same as ours for the moment. Let us call a truce with them in order to prevent the Bount Fui from obtaining this Heigou." Karek said. Even though Karek was a playful and funny guy, when times called for it, or when he was about to die, he could become very serious.

 

[spoiler= Bakudo 35: Binding Doll]

Description: Allows the caster to create a doll of pure kido energy that resembles the user. The doll itself has hidden inside of it a binding spell that activates when the doll is destroyed and binds the person that destroyed it for 30 seconds. The doll has less than 50% of the user's power and only lasts for 10-25 minutes before fading away depending on the level at which Karek uses it.

As Sayori was being Saved she made sure to grab Iyusaka since he was still out. From the looks of things our powers were working again. Seconds later energy rushed throug her conferming her thoughts. "Alright Iyusaka-Taicho. Divine help from a watchful eye, repair that which is damaged. Draw in life, expel pain. Hiru 21: Hako o Hirigu." She figured that in his state he won't bemoving anytime soon, and while she was healing him she couldn't attack. So having Rough there to help her was good. "Thanks." Sayori nodded expressing her thanks to Rouge. From the corner of her eyes she saw Karek using his Binding Doll kido to grab Saren. Good, now I don't have to worry about him for the time being...He looks fine from here...Just knocked out... She thought seconds before hearing Karek exclaime to Yomi that we should work with the arrancars for the moment.

 

The twins watched the attacks speed towards everyone, and was easily able sonido out of harms way. Not long later they heard Kasen yell out. "I guess the shinigami's will have to wait. Let's go Yoru..."

[namelessk]

The binding doll which Karek had sent out to save Saren was by now catching up. With one last shunpo, he was gone, only to reappear in front of the tied up Saren. The binding doll unsheathed his zanpakutou and then raised it up as it said "Resound, Hibiki Kaichou." The doll's zanpakutou shifted into the shikai form of Karek's own zanpakutou. karek had purposely given the doll enough power so that it could use the shikai form of his zanpakutou but nothing else. It could only have at the least, 50% of his powers, and so that was what he had given it. If he had given it any less, then it would not have been able to make it across to Saren, for it would have gotten hit by one of the random attacks sent out by Kyokotsu's doll. Now that the binding doll had his zanpakutou in shikai, he slashed down on the ropes of reiatsu binding Saren. His zanpakutou for some reason did not cut through. He sliced once more, but still, it would not break through.

 

The doll also had Karek's intelligence even if it was 50% of it, and so it was able to figure out that the reiatsu binding Saren was powerful, and that he would need to use his zanpakutou to cut through it. The binding doll moved his hand over the tuning fork like zanpakutou and muttered the words "Re." and then sliced down once more. The blades of the zanpakutou reverberated with the sound trapped within them and became a vibrating blade in a sense. This made it much sharper, and as Karek's binding doll cut down on it, the sound within the blades reacted with the reiatsu binding Saren and caused those to vibrate as well, enough that they were dispersed. Hopefully, this was enough to disperse the bindings completely. Karek stood back, watching the binding to see if it would come off enough for Saren to break out.

[.:Blu:.]

Takeda looked at Karek. "Team up with the Espadas?! Are you crazy?! Arrg...." Takeda clenched his fists tightly. He knew that may be the only way to stand a chance, but he hated the idea so much. For generations Shinigami fought against hollows but now forced to work with them? However, Takeda understood that it was only temporarily. "Humph, they got ten minutes...." Takeda stated as he swung his zanpakuto onto his shoulder. "Never thought I would be needing to team up with hollows. Humph, let's see what they think then. (Hopefully.... We can get this over fast....)" Takeda thought to himself as he gave a slight glare at all of the Espadas.

 

Izearya was getting rather annoyed at the situation they are currently in. "..... Working with shinigami?..... Who's hatred for who is stronger I wonder?....." Izearya asked himself.

Kyokotsu did not even blocked the attack and allowed it to cascade down to her body, wounding her. Blood spurted from the wound, as she gave Fui a surprised look. There was contempt on her eyes. The air around them turned deadly cold as something appeared in a flash a few distance away from Fui. It was Kyokotsu! But how could that be? She was clearly wounded, and the damage certainly looked real enough. In a sudden display of trickery, the Kyokotsu that Fui wounded exploded into a multitude of white spirit particles, dissipating as soon as they exploded into existence.

 

"Way of the Onmitsu, 3rd of Shihou," Kyokotsu's eyes gave Fui a cold stare, "Utsusemi."

 

As she finished her sentence, something came from Fui from below. It was Weltzerstörer's real body, moving in from below. It was coated in black flames that engulfed every inch of its wodden frame. Its rapier was also engulfed in the black flames, aiming straight at Fui. The flames seem to dissolve anything and everything it touches, even spirit particles. Its attack was fast, deadly fast, one that presented significant amounts of difficulty into evading or blocking it completely. Fui, who was watching still, has already stretched out a palm, white energy condensing in the middle.

 

"Hado 105," Kyokotsu's hand flared up with power, "Hyokukahou"

 

An intense shot of red flame suddenly emerged from her outstretched hand, heading towards Fui with great speed. It gradually transformed into a phoenix-like shape, with its beak pointing towards its target, which is Fui. Its wingspan is very wide, making it impossible to dodge it sideways. Going up was the only way to go. However, Weltzerstörer was also still on the attack, heading at Fui from below. If he evades upwards, Kyokotsu's doll would certainly catch him. If he blocks, he would certainly have a hard time, especially against two strong attacks.

 

From out of nowhere, Schmerz suddenly appeared beside Fui, on the path of the phoenix, along with Reinhardt and Vereisen. Reinhardt gave Fui a slight nod, and then snapped his finger. Schmerz roared, increasing his flame output to its hottest form, the Plasma White Type. It burned intensely enough that it literally robbed the area Schmerz was in with oxygen, spirit particle, and moisture, absorbing them gradually. He then held out his massive minotaur axe, and placed it in front of the phoenix, ready for the impact. At the same time, Vereisen flew a few feet upwards, her frosty claymore pointed at the phoenix. She then shot an icy wave at it, hoping to weaken it. The ice melted, but it robbed the flames some of its intensity.

 

"Fui-sama, allow me to assist." Reinhardt muttered coldly, focusing his attention towards the phoenix. What luck! Fui now need only to defend against Weltzerstörer's consuming black flames.

 

Meanwhile, Saren was still unconscious. His binding took a lot from him, and being human, he was definitely physically weaker compared to the shinigamis, and Arrancars, and even from the bounts. His eyes were still closed. Suddenly Weltzerstörer's clone, the black doll with the kanji of shadow, suddenly appeared just above Saren and Karek's puppet. It hovered callously, pointing its rapier towards the two. From the shadowy ruins of the temple, a loud growling sound can be hear. Within moments, a large shadow wolf emerged, its fangs bared towards the quincy and Karek's puppet. As this was happening, several other tendrils of shadow started to appear around the grounds, all coming from the shadows of those present. The phoenix provided this, meaning that Kyokotsu did not only planned to attack Fui with it, but also to give support to Weltzerstörer. The shadow tendrils each formed into the same replica of those around the temple grounds, and all shinigamis and arrancars now face their own selves. Each shadow drew out what looked like a silhouette of a zanpakutou, and then spoke each of their respective release phrases.

 

"Let none survive." Weltzerstörer's shadow dummy remarked nastily. "Let's see how you face the exact replica of yourselves. They fight as you do, use powers as you possess, and think as you do. They are you, only in shadow form. And........ they make you feel what you make them feel."

 

Weltzerstörer's remark was ominous, but it was not yet finish.

 

"A riddle for all of you. A mirror reflects not those behind it."

 

A mirror reflects not those behind it. That was the riddle. But what could it possibly mean? The riddle itself is pretty shallow, but it meant something much more deeper than it looked.

 

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]]

 

Hado #105, Hyokukahou (Flaming Phoenix Cannon): The user condenses reiatsu towards one of their palms, just as Shakkaho, but at a greater level of power. The user then launches the condensed flame towards the intended target, after which it transforms into a large phoenix with wingspan of 25-feet wide. It travels at just below transonic speed, and is capable of incinerating even steel without efforts. It also travels in a straight line, burning everything until it reaches its maximum distance of 50-meters. The phoenix radiates brightly around the area it materializes on, thereby casting a shadow on anyone caught in its light.
