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

[Hotaru987]

Sayori gave a tired, but grateful smile towards Jun Fon when he moved her away from he up coming battle. She felt bad that she wouldn't be able to help him fight, but at this point she would be more of a hinderance than a help. The Quincy, she think he said Saren, made the first move; Moving on top of a building and fiering arrows towards Jun Fon. Unfortunately, she missed what happened next as she tried to fight the up coming darkness that threatened to over take her system.

 

Soon, however, that became a fight unbeatable. Slowly her eyes closed, her head lolled off too the side, and her body went limp as she became dead to the world.

[ryuujinn]

Saren watched as the arrows head straight towards Jun Fon. However, from the corner of his eyes, he saw Sayori fainting gradually. There was an inexplicable expressions lining his eyes once again. He lowered his bow, and used Hiryenkyaku to move towards Sayori immediately. He placed what looked like a small golden cube in her mouth, gently letting her swallow it. He then pressed a palm to her forehead and felt her neck for a pulse.

 

"You shouldn't be here, shinigami. I don't want to involve you in my fight," Saren then placed a silvery substance on Sayori's neck, causing spirit particles to converge towards her, "This should make you feel better. Now stay there."

 

Saren used Hiryenkyaku once again, reappearing on the structure he once stood, and waited for Jun Fon to respond to his attacks.

[Azure Flame Kite]

"Why don't you follow your own advice, oh great quincy-dono," Jun Fon taunted, smirking as he dove forward to avoid the arrows. "If you don't want us to generalize you guys, don't generalize us, either. What you say maybe true about you and I, but don't think that means I'm not holding back either." 'Karouga, can you lend any of your strength?' he mentally questioned his zanpakuto spirit, only to receive a moan in response. Apparently, that meant 'yes,' because his reiatsu began to steadily rise. The pain in his body began to vanish as reiatsu began to pour out of him. He immediately began to use a fraction of it to harden his skin, not only that, but he began to become engulfed in a golden flame. In a barely audible voice, he whispered, "Blazing Fang: Flame of Rebuke. Catch me if you can, quincy-san." Raising both of his arms, he charged towards Sarin with a speed that didn't shouldn't have been possible with his injuries.

 

[spoiler=OOC:] Blazing Fang: Flame of Rebuke:

This is a state that only Jun Fon can enter. By entering this state, his speed and strength increase 2-3 times his regular amount. It's sort of like a halfway point between shikai and bankai for him. In this state, the power of his flames increase, and a golden flame rolls off of his body like steam.

Sven turned and looked over his shoulder as he walked away. "Before I go, I'm going to make more suffer. Try to stop me if you can," Sven taunted Yomi. Then in an instant he was gone. Near the western entrance of the gate he appeared after the sonido he performed. "Now to do what I said I was going to do," he said to himself. He opened his mouth and performed another Cero Eliminas. The maroon cero with golden electricity blanketed part of the western edge of Soul Society, causing much more destruction and chaos. Cries of the wounded and for the dead through the burning buildings grew loud. Sven gave a laugh as he pointed his palm to the western entrance of the gate. A cero blasted into it and destroyed it, allowing Sven to make his exit. Sven walked through the gate onto the other side, where it seemed no one was guarding. "I could have entered here and come in better, oh well," he said with a shrug. He opened a garganta and looked back to see if anyone came to challenge him before he left.

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

BTW, jcbballer, its "Saren", not "Sarin". xD.

 

 

 

Saren looked unfazed by the sudden spike in Jun Fon's Reiatsu. Instead his mouth curved into a thin smile once again. He renewed his quincy bow, and opening a bottle of silver liquid, pouring it around his legs and ankle. He then heard Jun Fon taunting him with his own words.

 

"Shinigami, your arrogance will be your downfall-----" Saren muttered but was cut off as Jun Fon suddenly charged at him with blinding speed. He immediately reacted by moving upwards, in equally blinding speed, his legs glowin brightly.

 

"You still underestimate my capabilities, shinigami," Saren drew his bow, looking very serious, "You reiatsu is like a beacon to my arrows."

 

As he finished his statement, a barrage of more than a hundred arrows rained down towards Jun Fon, avoiding obstacles and walls, and heading straight towards the captain as if metal being drawn to a magnet.

 

"Let me tell you this early, shinigami. Reiatsu and spirit particles are my specialty. The more you use, the easier I will defeat you." Saren said coldly, glancing once again towards Sayori, checking if she was alright.

[Hotaru987]

What the....I'm starting to feel better...Am I in the 4th division aleady? If so...What happened to Jun fon...

 

Sayori opened her eyes, only to see that she was still in the same place as she was before. Every second that passed she was slowly feeling better, and she could feel her reiatsu steadily increasing. But she didn't understand...How was that possible? She's not healing herself and Jun Fon doesn't have healing abilities. As far as I know.. Even if he did he wouldn't have had the time to heal me. So who-

 

...The Quincy....

 

Sayori's eyes widened at Monoroki's revelation. She thought she saw someone in white...But just thought she was imagining it. Those must've been his hands as well. Sayori looked at Saren confused at why he would help her, when it's clear that he doesn't like us Shinigami. I mean he's trying to kill one right now. So why heal one and kill the other?

 

I thought all Quincy's hated Soul reapers...

[ryuujinn]

Saren couldn't help but feel at ease when he saw Sayori opened her eyes. He gave a small smile to himself, and proceeded to assaulting Jun Fon with more arrows that seem to home in on the shinigami captain. Every now and then, Saren would weave in and out of the air, trying to get a better view of Sayori when he can help it. A few more barrage and he finally decided to use Hiryenkyaku to move towards the female shinigami captain once again.

 

He reappeared in front of her, looking rather casual, his bow lowered. A golden cube is clearly visible in his left hand where the pentacle quincy cross hangs.

 

"How are you feeling? The reiatsu cube should be taking its effect now, as well as the spirit fluid. Your reiatsu should be restored in a while. Here," Saren extended his left hand, handing over the golden cube he was clutching, "That's a reiatsu cube I made myself. It'll replenish reiatsu and if the person has been applied by the spirit fluid, it'll heal physical injuries as well."

 

Saren turned his back towards Sayori for a moment, before speaking again, "And don't even think of giving it to anyone else. I've completely control over my items. Anyone who eats that other than the person who's reiatsu I attuned it with will surely die."

[Azure Flame Kite]

"Son of a-!" Jun Fon quickly skidded to a stop as he saw the hundreds of arrows heading towards him like a magnet. He began to backpedal, hoping to draw all of the arrows away from the now-unconscious Sayori. Once he felt that he had gained enough distance from her, he stopped. "Flame Wall!" He threw his hands down, and a huge wall of orange flames erected from the ground, shielding him from most of the arrows. Some of them made it through, though, and three actually scratched him. "Practice what you preach, quincy-san," Jun Fon wagged his finger playfully as the barrier of fire fell. "You have yet to provoke me into using bankai yet, and if using my spiritual pressure gives me a disadvantage, then so be it." Yep, training for all those years with Urahara, Yoruichi and Tessai really helped him out.

[Hotaru987]

That must be what's on my neck.

 

She examined the cube in her hands fasinated at what Saren created. She closed her hand around the cube, considering what he said about sharing the cube. If that was the case then no other person would touch this but her. He was right though, even now she was begining to feel refreshed. "But...I don't understand. Why are you helping me?"

 

"I'm a Shinigami...You're supposed to hate me and try to kill me. Not help me so that I could very well fight against you. Thanks to you I'm almost at full strength....So why?" She just didn't understand why he would help her like her this. Sayori wasn't sure if he would answer her seeingas he was in a fight himself, but it wouldn't hurt to try. From the corner of her eyes she saw Jun Fon draw the arrows away from her area before blocking them. He seemed to be unharmed, aside from his earlier injuries, for the most part.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

[spoiler=OOC]I just wanted to ask you, Ryuujinn, how do you think I am doing in this RP so far? Just want to get that question out of my head.

 

 

Nato gasped slightly as he saw Muertos Grande reform, and bash away the spokeperson with one fist blow, slamming him into the East Gate. He was sure powerful, and even with the wound that Nato had inflicted on him, he was still able to move and attack. "This... this can't be true!" he gasped for himself, then he noticed -- wide-eyed in fear -- that Grande had fired off a Cero directly at his position, and he insinctively Shunpo'd upwards to dodge it, but noticed that Muertos had his quarterstaff in hand, appearing above him by Sonído, and smashed at his head.

 

"Sh!t!" he exclaimed, and brought his spear-like Zanpakuto upwards to block the attack, but was send sideways by the impact of the attack, and floated slightly in mid-air. Then he noticed some blood gush from his side, as the attack had grazed his body. "S-Sh!t..." he groaned. "This fight... will not be easy... I-I'd hate to have to release my Bankai just yet... but somehow, I think that will be the only way to win..."

[CarlinFan]

Akiyama raised his head to look directly at this massive Arrancar's four eyes. After a moment, Akiyama rolled his own eyes in annoyance at the prospect of having to kill this foe, a task that would undoubtedly be quite annoying.

 

Without a word, Akiyama shifted rings, chaning from Earth to Water. His Zanpakuto reverted to its original Daisho form as the golden rings revolved behind Akiyama. When the Water ring rotated into place behind him, Akiyama activated his powers of levitation granted by this ring. He shot up into the air, coming to a hovering stop directly before the Arrancar's face. Akiyama raised his left hand, pointing two fingers at one of the creature's eyes. "Hado 63: Raikoho."

 

As the golden Reiatsu blast lanced out towards his foe's eye, Akiyama flew further up into the air so that he now floated about two yards above his foe.

[ryuujinn]

Saren took a few steps towards Sayori, dusting his white clothing. He stared at Sayori with a distinct look on his face, one of kindness and care. He smiled thinly at the question raised by the shinigami captain.

 

"Perplexing, is it not? For someone like me to show kindness to someone like you," He touched Sayori's hand gently, then pointing a finger from the opposite hand towards the reiatsu cube, "Keep it. If you want to stab me, you're free to do so. I need not state my reasons for helping you. All you need to know is that I did it out of my own free will."

 

He turned towards Jun Fon who seemed to have successfully blocked all his arrows and looks like he's in for another round. Saren shook his head, drawing out two Seele Schneiders from his satchel. He secured it via his belt, then reformed his crescent moon-like quincy bow, aiming at Jun Fon. He shot several hundreds, nearly a thousand arrows, scattering them in all directions. The arrows curved towards Jun Fon from nearly all directions, except behind him, homing in again.

 

"Speed versus speed it is. After all, brute strength is useless against me," Saren remarked, disappearing from his spot, then reappearing behind Jun Fon, his quincy bow missing, and instead, he formed two swords made out of reiatsu using the Seele Schneiders he drew earlier, one in each hand, "I am no hypocrite. My ways and words are true."

 

He aimed a cross-slash towards Jun Fon using his Seele Schneider, giving the shinigami captain a few seconds to block, since dodging was impossible. What's more, the nearly a thousand arrows are already nearing his position, making the situation very dangerous if he makes a wrong move.

 

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

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

You're doing good so far, Abarai Renji. Realize that the battles so far are hard because everyone is being stalled for the arrival of the Captain Commander. Much like how the shinigamis in Bleach are before they became insanely strong. :)

 

 

Muertos Grande caught wind of what Nato muttered as he sent him flying away. His eyes glowed a bright yellowish color, as if he was suddenly inspired to fight. He landed on his foot expertly, clutching his quarterstaff sideways. From his position, he could see that Raizou has died, and that his twin brother has been eliminated by a white arrow. He also saw Espada Diyes, El Higante, engaged in a battle with another shinigami captain.

 

"Impressive, and interesting, you shinigamis are," He remarked mistily, eyeing Nato rather curiously, "You've survived nearly everything I threw at you, even if by a hair's breadth. I admit, you're one interesting opponent."

 

His eyes suddenly looked serious as it glowed an intense yellow color.

 

"But Zasalamel-dono requires only your heads." He muttered mistily, aiming his quarterstaff at Nato.

 

Suddenly, Muertos Grande disappeared from his position, reappearing behind Nato in a quick and steady manner, aiming a deadly strike towards his exposed back.

 

"Bala de Medianoche" He muttered, firing a black, needle like projectile towards Nato's exposed back. It travelled faster than Cero de Medianoche, and looked like it's enough to cause significant damage.

 

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

 

El Higante quickly regained himself just in time to see Akiyama fire off a Kido towards him. He instinctively raised his claws, blocking the attack, but pushing him back for quite a distance. There was a mixed look of ecstasy and surprise in his face as he brought down his smoking left hand.

 

"Raikoho!" He suddenly shouted. A bright golden flash erupted from his right hand's index claw, surging towards the shinigami captain, cackling with energy and strength.

 

"You are a fool. My zanpakutou is named Carne Corrupta, and any attack or sword I strike with it, I can copy without effort, and even adding something of my own." El Higante remarked, pointing at the energy he just released.

 

On closer inspection, liquid organic substance spiral around the golden energy. The substance throbbed and bubbled, as if alive. There was something abnormal in the way the substance was encircling the energy, as if it was merging with it.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

Nato turned back and saw a needle rushing towards him, as he barely side-stepped it, the breeze it caused making his hair wave violently and his clothes ripped up a bit as the needle grazed his Haori. "Damn! That was a quick attack..." Nato examined. "It must be some sort of Bala. It's quicker than his Cero, so it has to be a Bala. Damn it! There seems to be no stop to this dude. If only... a thunderstorm was here." he thought to himself. "Then my Zanpakuto's abilities would be greatly enhanced." he sighed, and stood up straight, aiming his spear-like Zanpakuto at Muertos.

 

"I am surprised by you Arrancars as well. I've slain a few, but none is as intriguing as you, or your twin brother. Too bad he died, I noticed. His Reiatsu died out a few moments ago. So I guess this means we have to go all out." Nato held his Zanpakuto. "Here I go!" he Shunpo'd in front of Muertos Grande, clashing his spear together with his quarterstaff, managing to get a hit on him and pushing him back a few feet.

[Azure Flame Kite]

Jun Fon merely smirked as he glanced around, seeing arrows in nearly all directions, and the quincy waiting at the only opening he had provided, slashing at him with two Seele Schneider. Bending backwards, he caught the twin reishi swords with his tonfa, simultaneously switching off the flames covering it. Then, with a loud roar, a pillar of golden fire erupted from his body effectively shielding him from the arrows. 'sheet!' his eyes widened as he felt the Seele Schneiders begin to slowly saw through his shikai. Flash Stepping away before the rest of the arrows could be blocked, he reappeared ten meters away, raising another wall of fire to block the rest.

 

"Sorry," he apologized, by now he was beginning to pant. "As much fun as this, I'm going to have to end this now; be grateful, you're about to be one of the two people in the Soul Society to see this." He bent down into a horse stance, tonfa facing backwards. "BANKAI!" he was engulfed in a pillar of dark azure flame, gradually lifting him up off the ground. He curled into a ball, a metamorphosis beginning to take place. In a flash of light, his reiatsu skyrocketed, and the flames dispersed, revealing a floating cocoon containing Jun Fon. Suddenly, a fist shot out and punctured the sphere; he extended his other limbs, blowing it apart, and a drastically changed Jun Fon could finally bee seen. He was hovering slightly above the ground, his body posture resembling a cross: His torn shinigami uniform had now turned to the color of blood, and three belt-like bands were loosely wrapped around his neck, covering everything below his mouth; a large red hat with a 'W' stitched in front had appeared on top of his head, causing his hair to fall down in front of his face, flare out slightly on the sides and spike out in the back. It also fell forward so that a shadow covered his right eye, leaving only an unblinking left one visible.

 

Casually crossing his arms, he threw them out once again, causing the azure flames surrounding him to disperse. He landed softly, slowly walking five steps before stopping. Putting his hands behind his back, he flicked out two twisted, demonic-looking swords, holding them in a reverse grip. He flourished the twin blades before crossing them in front of his chest, and the blade split into three. In a gruff, soft voice, he muttered, "Demonic Blazing Wolf Fang."

[Hotaru987]

I don't get him...He's too confusing...

 

Do not worry for now. Jun Fon is in trouble

 

Sayori stood up, and looked at Saren seeming to be in two minds. On one haNd she knew that she should protect the Seireitei, as well as her fellow Gotei 13...And even though she was the one to bring it up she would feel bad if she tried to kill him after he saved her life. She was always taught by Byakuya to repay her depts. It was something that he made sure to instill in her, and right now she owed the mysterous quincy a lot.

 

...You can't let Jun Fon get killed....

 

Sayori nodded to Monoroki's chastising voice, "I know..." Just as Sayori was about to go in and help the male captain, he seemed to be able to block Saren's attack and avoid the arrows shot at him. Suddenly Jun Fon went into his Bankai completely surprising Sayori. She watched him in awe, as she had never seen his Bankai before. For now I'll just continue to watch But if she needed to fight him, she doubt she would fight to kill him, but only too stall or get him tired enough to want to retreat.

[ryuujinn]

Muertos Grande backflipped in mid air as he was pushed back by Nato's attack. His wound was now fizzing, and his mid section looked like it was blurring out of existence. He covered his midsection with his free hand, causing large amounts of dark clouds to cover the wounded area. His yellow glowing eyes flickered in and out of existence as the dark clouds seemed to react to his wound.

 

"Damn. Zasalamel-dono will not be pleased at any loss incurred here." Muertos Grande remarked to himself, positioning his quarterstaff in front of him again.

 

The area immediately around the Arrancar suddenly become covered in dark clouds, encircling his entire body once again. His quarterstaff glowed darkly, as if a prelude to an ominous ability. Nearby trees swayed from the wind, and dust flew up in the air as the winds gather around the dark clouds, encircling Muertos Grande violently, glowing darker and darker along with the quarterstaff.

 

"It seems, we have stalled long enough."

 

Black lightning surged from Muertos Grande's body, replacing the dark clouds that encircled him. His wound is still fizzing, but the Arrancar seemed to not mind it at all. His glow yellow eyes have sparks, literally shooting off from them, specifically from the sides. His quarterstaff has black lightning encircling it from tip to tip.

 

"You said you can control lightning, shinigami. Well, I am going to give you what you want. Since Muertos Doble is dead, I can use my coup de grace, my true form," Muertos Grande slammed the tip of his staff on the ground, causing black surges of electricity to hit the earth around him, "Try manipulating this."

 

"Relámpago Oscuro Grande"

 

A massive charge of dark energy erupted from the tip of the quarterstaff, surging towards Nato at high speed. It tore apart the ground directly beneath it and singed the nearby trees it passed by. The very atmosphere around the lightning seemed to die out.

 

"I can't waste time on you anymore, shinigami." Muertos Grande remarked darkly and mistily.

 

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

 

Saren used Hiryenkyaku to quickly establish distance between him and Jun Fon. He sensed a darker presence nearby, but he dismissed it and focused on the opponent in front of him. His face didn't looked too surprised at all, but he drew out his quincy bow once again, preparing for anything Jun Fon will throw at him. He give a quick glance at a quickly recovering Sayori. As soon as he felt Sayori's reiatsu nearly back at full, he gave a quick sigh of relief, then focused his attention towards Jun Fon.

 

"Bankai. Impressive. That's the pride and joy of your kin, isn't it?" Saren said coldly, testing the fluctuations in the reiatsu around him.

 

He gave another sigh as he concentrated on Jun Fon's own reiatsu waves, as if trying to attune himself with it. After a few more seconds, he closed his eyes and drew his bow, forming what looked like a three-pronged arrow that looked different from the normal quincy one. It sizzled with energy, forming white sparks of electricity around it. Saren glanced at Sayori once again, making sure she was not in the way of the arrow.

 

"This is the pride and joy of my clan, whom your kin killed." Saren exclaimed coldly, gathering more spiritual particles towards the arrow.

 

"Tengoku no Yajirushi"

 

Saren let loose a thin, white streak of light towards Jun Fon, quickly repositioning himself at another angle, and firing an arrow of the same quality, then another angle, until he has covered all 360 degree angles around Jun Fon.

 

"For my kin." Saren muttered under his breathe.

[Hotaru987]

Sayori caught the glance Saren passed at her, and the quick sigh of reliefe. Sayori forced herself to push her curiosity to the back of her mind, as he shot many arrows at Jun Fon. Howeverm these arrows didn't look like any arrows she had seen before from a Quincy. It seemed that each of the arrows were charged with electricity, and had a three-pronged shaped. Soon Jun Fon was surrunded from all angles by Saren's arrows and they were closing in fast. Sayori knew that he probably wanted her to stay ut of the fight, but she decided to help him out of this jam.

 

Besides, thanks to Saren...I'm completely healed. Both my reiatsu and my injuries.

 

"Dance in the Breeze, Monoroki." She said, her sword changing into her two fans, before she shunpo'd in the middle of the ring with Jun Fon. With the flick of her wrist, the wind drastically picked up forming a tornado, which was just a swirling mass of her green reiatsu, with her and Jun Fon in the middle sheilding them from all sides. "I just thought you needed a quick break, thats all." Sayori said to Jun Fon over the rushing winds.

 

"It's harder to block these than I thought..." She muttered increasing her reiatsu, and in turn the wind picked up even more. Once she felt the resistance from the outside stop the tornado disappated and she shunpo'd back to her position out of the way.

[ryuujinn]

As Saren finished his last barrage of arrows, he noticed Sayori entering the battle field, drawing her own zanpakutou. There was another inexplicable expression visible on Saren's face as he saw the female shinigami conjure up what look like a wall of wind, trying her hardest to block the specialized arrows.

 

"You shouldn't have done that." Saren remarked then his eyes widened as the remainder of his peculiar arrows started to break from his control, homing in on Sayori.

 

He immediately picked up the pace, using nearly twice as much speed from Hiryenkyaku to execute a jump-in between Sayori and the nearly dozens of white, three-pronged arrows heading towards her. Saren held out his palm, causing seven of the arrows to dissipate in mid air, while the remaining 4 continued unfazed. He then carefully channeled spiritual particles towards his bow, and aimed a quick shot at the middle body of the three arrows, dissipating them too. As he did this, he saw the last arrow curving away from him, and heading straight towards Sayori. In one final desperate act, Saren pushed Sayori away, allowing the arrow to pierce his shoulder cleanly, producing a puncture wound.

 

White surge of energy flooded the wound, and then all throughout Saren's body, flooding out towards the ground and holding him, rendering him immobile. With all his might, he turned his head towards Sayori, a thin smile barely visible on his face.

 

"I'm glad I made it in time. You shouldn't have blocked those arrows with your reiatsu. They react to strong spiritual presence very easily," Saren coughed blood out, "If they had hit you, you would've surely died. I guess I'm lucky I'm not a shinigami. The effects are...... milder."

 

Another burst of white light, and Saren was blown away, hitting the wall with his body. He lied limply on the wall, half-awake. Smoke issued from his injured body. He tried to stand up but the force of the impact was too powerful, making any movement nearly impossible. He gazed at Sayori.

 

"Ah. This is shameful. To save the enemy with my own body. Truly. Had it been in different circumstances, I wouldn't have cared, but you," Saren pointed a quivering finger towards Sayori, "You reminded me of the only good thing in this life. My sister. And your pathetic kin took her away from me!"

 

Tears lined Saren's eyes, cascading down his cheeks as he recalled how the shinigamis slaughtered his entire family, leaving none alive. He punched the ground beside him with his quivering fist, then turning to look at Jun Fon.

 

"Tsch. You lucky bastard." Saren remarked loud enough for the shinigami captain to hear. He then stared at the moonlit sky, waiting for what happens next.

 

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

 

Meanwhile, in the Western Gate where Zasalamel and Sousuke were fighting, the Arrancar has already lost patience for his opponent. He backflipped in mid air, and pointed two opened palms towards his opponent.

 

"I grow tired with this, captain-san," Zasalamel's hands started to glow whiter and whiter, "There seems to be some commotion inside Seireitei that merits my investigation. I will leave you here."

 

A white flash of energy suddenly erupted as Zasalamel finished his sentence, covering nearly the entire Western Gate Area. The flash was bright enough to blind anyone who's eyes were opened. As the light subsided, coils of energy formed around Sousuke's hand, body, and legs, holding him firmly to the ground. The yellow spots on the field also released yellowish coils, merging the loose ends of the light coils, forming some sort of chain.

 

"For the time being, stay there. I wish to see something for myself." Zasalamel remarked, a worried look clearly visible across his face as he turned to stare over at the Eastern Gate.

 

Somehow, I know this familiar reiatsu. Why did he suddenly appear here? Zasalamel thought to himself, using Sonido to move quickly.

 

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

 

Zelmen Clock, you've been away for a bit, so to move the plot along, since I need Zasalamel to do so (seeing as he's the main Antagonist here right now without the Primera Espada and the Leader of the Bounts), I'm using some sort of binding thing. You can probably break out of it anyway, just so there's a logical explanation as to why Zasalamel can move to other places again. Once you post, you may state how you break through the chains.. xD

 

[CarlinFan]

Akiyama's eyes widened in momentary surprise. He hadn't expected this brute to be a mimic.

 

He regained his composure in a moment, using his levitation abilities to dodge over the blast, albeit barely. He felt the heat as the Reiatsu passed directly below his legs.

 

Not wasting any time, Akiyama flew at his greatest possible speed over to El Higante's head, landing atop it. He whirled so that he and the creature's face pointed in the same direction.

 

"No, I am not a fool. You are, for being arrogant enough to explain your powers to me." With that, Akiyama knelt on his right knee, flipped his blades downwards, and drove them directly into two of El Higante's eyes.

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

Nato's eyes widened slightly as he saw the attack charge towards him. Anything that came in contact with it seemed to disintegrate into nothingness, the ground was ripping up and torn asunder, and Nato only imagined what it could do to him if it hit him. He knew however that he was quick enough to dodge it. With his wound inflicted on the Arrancar, the battle had suddenly taken to his favor. He used Shunpo to dodge the attack, moving upwards into the air.

 

"Your techniques are quite intimidating, Muertos Grande." he admitted, looking down at him with a calm, collected face expression, which seemed almost unfazed by now. "If that attack had hit me, I'd probably be dead by now. But as you can see, I am far more faster than your average Shinigami." he stopped in mid-air then, looking down at the Arrancar. "I've never really wanted to release this, but you give me no choice. It seems that my normal attacks won't destroy you, nor my Zanpakuto's Shikai. So I suppose I have to give you the fullest of my abilities." he then held Sandāburēdo in front of him in a horizontal position, and whispered out the words;

 

Bankai

 

In an instant, Nato was covered in lightning, his form being a big blur of crackling energy and sizzling thunder, and his Reiatsu flared up even more as thousands of rocks and debris masses scattered from underneath him, the pure pressure creating shockwaves that could be sensed all over Soul Society's vincinity. As his Bankai began to shape itself, the skies instantly began to rumble and darken, as the skies around Serireitei's Eastern Gate were filled with pitch-black storm clouds that began to rumble loudly with lightning and thunderstorms.

 

As Nato's Bankai finally formed itself, the lightning around him dispersed and was absorbed into itself. The form of it was like a cruel, fan-shaped construct on his back, with protruding spikes and barbs around the eight spikes that created the "fan", four on each side of his back. His chest, waist, legs and feet were also covered in an armor made of pure gold, shining brightly in the flashes of lightning that now crossed the skies.

 

"Ten no Sandāburēdo!"

 

[spoiler=OOC]Ok, just a few things I wanna say, for the lolz;

 

1. If THAT was not an EPIC Bankai scene, then I dunno what is. XD

 

2. This is an excellent Background Music for Nato's Bankai; At least I think this is

 

[Azure Flame Kite]

Jun Fon stayed silent through the insult, looking at the seemingly dying quincy. He couldn't drop his bankai, because that was the only thing keeping him conscious. With a low groan, he put his swords behind his back, sheathing them, and slowly walked up to Saren. He stopped just in front of the quincy, looking down with his single visible eye, his shrunken pupil traveled to the fully healed Sayori, then back down to Saren. Jun Fon silently bent down and slowly picked the quincy up bridal style, so as not to aggravate the wound, and began to walk towards the 4th division without saying anything to anyone. After ten steps, he stopped, turning his head slightly and signaled Sayori to follow him before continuing to walk.

The attack caused El Higante to shatter into a multitude of crystalline pieces. His last expression was of shock and regret. Crystal fragments fell down to the earth slowly, as if the first snow of winter. The towers of crystal around Akiyama also shattered into a multitude of pieces, covering the ground beneath the shinigami captain. A gentle breeze blew, scattering the remains eastward, towards the darkened Rukongai Districts. El Higante is no more.

 

"Or am I?"

 

A voice suddenly echoed from out of nowhere. It was different from El Higante's own, as if from an entirely new entity. It was more serious and menacing, compared to El Higante's low and provocative voice. Above all, there was also a difference in Spiritual Pressure, for this one was more cold and chilling compared to El Higante's robust and heavy reiatsu.

 

"You didn't think I'd die that easily, did you?"

 

The crystalline dust that blew towards Rukongai slowly reformed into an entity. It spiraled in the air, forming first a pair of feet, then legs, gradually forming the midsection, the hands, then the arms, moving on towards the torso, the neck, until finally, the head. It compacted onto the form, enhancing it with detail. The hands were covered in claws similar to El Higante, but that was the only resemblance. The body is coated in metallic liquid substance, and there were lines around his body detailing some sort of armor. His claws were dripping with brown substance, and his arms were covered in spiky, metal-like needles. His facial features were also different. Instead of the five eyes El Higante sported, this one only has two completely black eyes, no nose, and a thin mouth that curved into a smile.

 

"I know. I Know. I'm such a killer. Genius aren't I? Who would've thought Zasalamel-dono's tricks would be useful to me and my brother?" the figure said in a menacing, yet jolly tone.

 

The figure dusted himself off before posing like someone sitting on a chair, only he was sitting in mid air. He held his right hand casually, wiping off his forehead.

 

"I am El Higante, and I am not him. I am him, but he is not me. Confusing no? You see, this is what happens when two Arrancars are fused together by unnatural means." El Higante remarked, waving his hand sideways, as if trying to fan himself, "For the purpose of our conversation, call me El Higante. And I see you're intent on killing me. Pity really. I could've used the company a little while longer."

 

He suddenly disappeared from his position, nowhere to be seen. The atmosphere became extremely chilly, and not the icy sort of chill. The atmosphere was cold with terror, something only this personality of El Higante can do.

 

"You see, the thing with copying abilities," A set of crystal spikes erupted from the ground, trapping Akiyama in the middle, "I don't forget anything I've copied at least once. For instance, did you know I've once killed an adjucha who have an uncanny ability to harden his reiatsu like steel?"

 

From within the reflective facets of the crystal, El Higante's visage surface, and he was smiling very wide.

 

"I know El Higante," He sighed a bit, "Rather, I know I've already said a lot about my abilities and all, and have continued to expose every bit of my resurreccion. I know, its annoying right? Like its the biggest mistake an idiot like me can commit."

 

His smile turned into a devious smirk, as if the devil himself was smiling from within the crystals.

 

"But that's because I am the most arrogant Arrancar you'll ever meet. I am arrogant and boastful of my abilities, and I have overconfidence in them, regardless if they will be my downfall."

 

His face disappeared from the crystal, reappearing with his entire body once again on the empty space somewhere above Akiyama, assuming his sitting pose again, this time a makeshift coffee cup made of crystals is floating near him. He gently took a sip from this cup and smiled at Akiyama.

 

"You have Ten Seconds to get out of there, or you'll die from being impaled to death by countless spikes," He took another sip, "And do try to smash your way out. You're more than allowed to cheat."

 

He ended his statement with a another devious smile.

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

Yes, very nice description. :D That's an interesting Bankai Theme as well.. xD.

 

 

Muertos Grande's wound was still fizzing and cackling, this time more violently. He waited to see if his coup de grace would work. To his surprise, Nato has still much left in him to execute a shunpo, dodging the attack completely. His eyes flickered in and out of life as he made coughing noises.

 

I'm running out of time. My existence is nearly at its limits. Zasalamel-dono will not be pleased. He thought to himself, covering his wound once again with his free hand.

 

His eyes grew wider as he witnessed Nato's bankai unfold in front of him. The shinigami captain was shining as lightning flashed across the now darkened skies. Muertos Grande looked fazed, but he held his ground, holding the quarterstaff in front of him. There was an intense look in his glowing yellow eyes, the look of someone who cannot go back as a failure. He was determined. It was either he die here or die later at the hands of Zasalamel, but between the two, he'd rather die now.

 

"Shinigami, failure is not an option for me. I will kill------" He was cut when someone suddenly grabbed the tip of his quarterstaff tightly. The tip glowed yellowish, as if it was charged. Muertos Grande's eyes widened as he saw who was in front of him. For the first time since he entered Soul Society, his eyes depicted heightened fear and was extremely terrorized. He sank to his knees as if knowing he was going to die.

 

"Zasalamel-dono. I-I-I didn't know you w-w-where going t-t-to----" He stuttered mistily but was shut off by Zasalamel with a cold stare. The Arrancar's bandaged face half covered by his trench coat's collar looked extremely serious. There was no doubt that he was not in the mood for pleasantries.

 

"Numero 12, zip it. I am not here to reprimand you," He glared at Muertos Grande as the latter looked relaxed, "But we will have a talk about your loss later. Right now, I've picked up that familiar reiatsu. Go recuperate someplace, and find me that person who's reiatsu I kept feeling since earlier."

 

Muertos Grande nodded profusely, not arguing anymore, focusing on just going away far from the Arrancar as soon as possible. As soon as Zasalamel gave him the order to depart, he left the area without anymore thought, disappearing in a thick, dark cloud. Zasalamel dusted his white trench coat before rounding towards Nato.

 

"You're pretty talented to have caused Numero 12 that much damage. Perhaps we can arrange a deal, captain-san," Zasalamel tightened his gloves and stretched his arms, "How about you just go back to your barracks and let me wait for my fraccion until he gets back, huh? Or would you rather play with me?"

 

Zasalamel's voice was playful, yet a hint of seriousness can be heard clearly within it. There was no arguing that this particular Arrancar was by far, a graver threat than any of the Hollows or Arrancars that appeared and his presence pose a very high degree of danger towards Seireitei. But from the way he talked, one would immediately deduce that he is intelligent enough to calm himself down and not pick unnecessary fights.

Sayori silently walked beside Jun Fon as he carried the wounded Quincy. So that's the reason...It's because I remind him of someone dear to him. She looked at Saren sadly, feeling completely resonsible for his condition. If she hadn't gotten in the way then he wouldn't have been hurt. But what about Jun Fon?...What would he have done?

 

She could see he was already on his last leg, and the only thing keeping him awake was his Bankai. She was thankful for Saren, for healing her because now she could return the favor.

 

"I'm sorry...Saren for reminding you of her..." She finally said, "And I'm sorry for what we've done to you. It probably won't mean anything, and it won't change what has already happened but..."

 

She glanced at his wound on his shoulder, before a small green orb encased only the wound. Her eyes then returned to Saren's sadly, "I'm also sorry for that...I should've just stayed out of the way." While talking to Saren she kept a close eye on Jun Fon. She knew he was tired, and if push came to shove she would be able to get them to the 4th division if he collasped. From somewhere else a large amount of reiatsu suddenly passed through the seireitei like a shock wave. She recognized the energy as Captain Nato's.She hoped he was ok.

Jun Fon glanced to Sayori as he felt the shockwave of reiatsu, Nato must have gone bankai. He didn't want Sayori to leave, mainly because if he collapsed, there'd be no one to save him and the quincy; he'd probably live, but the quincy would definitely die. He nudged he with his shoulder to get her attention, and slowly shook his head; one of the drawbacks of his bankai was that he became more like his zanpakuto spirit, and almost completely lost his ability to talk, and could only communicate by groans and battle cries (sucks, don't it?). Besides, Nato was strong enough to take care of himself, if not, Akiyama could always give a helping hand once he was finished. He began to slightly speed up his walk, in hopes of not collapsing before getting to the 4th division.

[spoiler=OOC:]Lol, ryuujinn. I forgot Zasalamel was at the west gate.

 

 

Sven realized after blasting through the gate that Zasalamel, the number 2 Espada, was there fighting another captain. Then when he saw him disappear in a sonido leaving the captain he decided to follow to find out what the next step was. He used his sonido to appear next to Zasalamel. "Though I hate to interupt you if you were doing anything," Sven began, "I have personally destroyed most of Soul Society, nearly killed a captain without even using my Resurrection, and destroyed two ends of the gate that protects them. Not to mention the wounded and dead that now fill their medical area. What is next." He looked at the shinigami who was there almost forgetting that he was there. "Do you want me to kill him?" he asked.
