Requiem For the Innocent [Event]

[Kyoshin Oscuro]

"Kill you? Eh, only 'cuz you've annoyed me. Your friend's next..." Having seen that particular Kido spell used before on his last trip to the Mortal Realm, Kyoshin vaguely recognized the incantation and prepared himself for what was coming. Dodging the bolt with Sonido, a somewhat easy task with as slow as his opponent had suddenly become, the Arrancar was about to spring when the two of them were surrounded by inky black barriers of some kind. Since they'd already been in shadows when the barriers erected themselves, the specks of 'light' were only bright by contrast, merely pinholes through which to view their darkened surroundings, not even enough for the two opponents to see eachother with.

Suddenly, the blackened space was filled with Kyoshin's hysterical laughter, the Arrancar utterly bemused but overjoyed with the gift he'd just been given. Sounding as if he were wiping tears from his eyes, he giggled, "Wa-was this... your f-friend? Is h-he tryin' to... help you? I c-can't wait to see his face!"

Not wasting any time, the childish Arrancar dissolved himself into the blackness, still cackling as his form scattered throughout the dark space. Using his Pesquisa to find his opponent in the dark, his hand materialized and tugged hard on Daisuke's chain, as if trying to rip it away from the Shinigami, but this was simply a diversion to throw the redhaired man off. Silently materializing his sword at an angle that would be impossible for the Arrancar to reach assuming his body was in one piece, which Daisuke had no reason to doubt, Kyoshin then stabbed the sword forcefully into the Shinigami's back. Jerking the blade instantly upwards to worsen the wound before twisting it to let out more blood and cause tremendous internal damage (assuming the attack wasn't somehow anticipated), Kyoshin asked tauntingly, "Now, what was your name again? Please, I'd like to give your head a proper introduction when I show it to your friend..."

[Redwinters]

Kyoshin & Daisuke:

“Any other of your kind, and I would believe those words. Despite how you act...something about you is different. You can't hide who someone is when they clash swords.” The shinigami spoke honestly as Kyoshin dodged the kido he had fired. “I’d hope you would wage a war for more than just annoyance, at least. You seem surprised that we’re so willing to protect those around us, to fight to protect the innocent and weak…but on my end I can’t understand how even a creature like yourself has no one they can place their faith in…no one to call a friend, no one to lay your life on the line for. Is there not one thing in your whole army that you would be willing to make sacrifices for? What good is a war when it’s just for bloodshed!?” The large shinigami roared just as the inky barriers began forming around them, catching both men off guard as they were surrounded completely from the outside world.

“Take…” The man recognized the power, and nodded his head knowingly as his eyes seemed to lower somberly. He knew why his friend had done it…and knew it was not an easy call to make. Keeping Kyoshin busy and getting the humans out was the priority. That was their job, their mission. If the sacrifice of one shinigami could save the lives of ten or twenty humans, it would be worth the effort. Take did what he needed to do, and Daisuke accepted the situation he had been put it. “You were always better at the tough calls; Just don’t beat yourself up over it…I knew what I was getting into.”

Then the laughter from Kyoshin echoed in their enclosed space, easily getting the shinigami’s attention as he hoisted his weapon in a defensive position. “Ha, you’re quite jittery when your excited, aren’t you?” He mocked, “But he didn’t do anything to help me. Of course, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you don’t seem to understand…” He stayed motionless when the reiatsu of the arrancar seemed to disperse away. “Though I can safely say I didn’t think he’d have this kind of power…” He thought to himself.

A hand would be placed on Daisuke’s chain and would attempt to jerk it around, but it seemed that in this form Kyoshins strength was weaker…and with the increase Daisuke added to his own strength the espada would find it nearly impossible to tug on the weapon the shinigami held onto in his defensive manner. With incredible effort, he would instead launch the weapon upward…and with its enourmous strength, shatter the ceiling of their “cage,” shining in the light from above so he could at least better see what was happening. This of course did not stab Kyoshin’s blade from stabbing into the man, causing him to gasp out in pain as he felt the weapon pass through him. The blade would move slowly up his body and began to twist causing the man to cough out blood as he growled in pain. Kyoshin asked for his name then; gasping, the man began to mouth an answer. “Haha…Don’t remember?” his free hand grabbed hold of the blade as the light shined down…having the unintentional side effect of revealing Kyoshin in physical form again. “I said…It’s Daisuke!” The mans eyes roared with fire, and with the last bit of effort the man had swung the chain down once more, increasing its weight to its absolute maximum as it fell to give it ridiculous falling momentum as it aimed to crash right into the espada. It was a last ditch effort to fight against the arrancar.

Speed: 10 (Speed in this case is not influencing the speed of the attack, as it is going by the simple astronomical weight the anchor now is to pick up speed and momentum)

Shakan:

Shakan’s movements had surprised the adjucha, giving him enough edge to slice into the beasts left arm as it had attempted to punch him with it. The beast yelled out in pain as Shakan leapt into the air, aiming to give the beast a splitting headache with his next attack; however, the hollow was fast enough to react to the attack and with surprisingly fast reaction time grabbed the wrist of Shakan’s hand before his attack reached it. Then…with NOT so surprisingly, strength, the hollow swung him ass over teakettle into the concrete sidewalk. Most likely, it would cause him to bounce and skid across the ground.

The hollow seemed to laugh in a deep growl at that point, cracking its neck to the left and right. With a loud roar it began charging down the street right at the human, before jumping into the air to simply land on him with its enourmous frame. If Shakan managed to move fast enough, the ground would smash inward from the adjucha’s strength. The hollow, thinking fast, then grabbed hold of the debris it kicked up, and began throwing it effortlessly at the smaller man that it took an interest in.

[Nero Metora]

Nero was in the middle of his barrel roll when he began hearing Nonko reciting another incantation... albeit much more quickly than the previous spell. "Damn shinigami!" The dragon bellowed... he was forced to push himself to his limit just to try to dodge this spell.

Novice Weapon Skill Boost:
Reiatsu: 170
Attack: 160
Speed: 120
Weapon Skill: 50

The large adjucha dove down swiftly among the buildings once again, the pillars that formed Nonko's quickly gaining on him. A few of these pillars crashed down into the buildings Nero dove between, effectively lodging them into place as the dragon attempted to level out between buildings.

With so much of Nero's attention on dodging the kido spell, he wasnt paying much attention to his flight path. The speed and inertia proved too much for the huge creature to avoid all of the buildings, something Nero realised much too late as he was speeding straight towards a tall structure. "Damn it!" Escaped his mouth as he braced himself as much as he could before crashing straight through the building at full speed. The top half of the building would collapse down to the street below taking the dragon with it with a thunderous boom. Once the dust settled the extent of the damage was made clear to him. Rebar from the destroyed concrete had stabbed him in multiple areas. Though not life threatening wounds he felt a tremendous amount of pain.

Nero brushed off the pain and the rubble from his body as he stood up on all four legs. He was in a bit of a daze though... acting as a wrecking ball to a building would do that to anyone. He stumbled down random side streets in an attempt to recover. Meanwhile the three gillian Nero brought with him that were just down the street began to fire ceros at Nonko and Mijek. Though the two were capable of dealing with these ceros they were meant to allow Nero time to regroup.

[Mijek: The Last Oni]

"To many nuisance, but these are something a bit to big to ignore now that they are opening up in the fight. Sanben, kickplate got it?"

His zankai shield pulled up beneath him and then pivoted itself and him with it so that he could kick up and over the cero that had threatened to engulf him. The shield stayed behind to absorb most of the blast before dissipating and reforming for him to kick off again. Without Shunpo he couldn't move in an instantaneous fashion but with his muscles and the platforms he shield was making he cleared the distance in possibly record time without the technique.

"I let myself get distracted with that adjuchas but he has an opponent that has the power to make it a quick end. We onigami must set ourselves apart."

He landed on the first gillians mask grabbing hold at the edge of the masks eyehole as his free arm formed a large drill and jabbed straight through the mask.

"We do not engage in personal combat when hollows mass up."

The gillians head leaned forward as it's eyes tried to lock on Mijek hanging from it's face but then those glows simply died and the mask itself split apart into hundreds of pieces. Small threads of his shikai regrouped and wrapped about his arm again having throughoughly mutilated the monsters entire head from within.

"We level the armies as an army of one!"

He kicked himself off and at the next target, this time moving to pass clean through between the two but with his arms outstretched. His shikai straightened out and as the Gillians tracked his movement the blades sliced their heads clean through as he settled atop an apartment building and retracted both weapons back from the very limits he had stretched them to slice both heads off at once.

"Childsplay to fighting Sanben...."

[Shakan]

Shakan was taken by surprise when the adjucha chucked him like a cotton stuffed rag doll down upon the sidewalk. Oofs and owws escaped his mouth as he regained control and skidded some more on his feet and hands. "Tough son of a bitch... I'll give you that much." He lept backwards using the backward momentum he had to clear the hollow's landing spot, drawing both of his swords in the process. Reitsu immediately flowed into said swords... more specifically into the blades themselves.

As soon as Shakan's feet planted onto the sidewalk he attempted to take advantage of the hollow's landing. In his mind such a large creature would become more sluggish to recover from a landing that large. Using bringer light once more he lept at the adjucha. With his left handed sword he aimed to slice the large hollow's left arm off whilst it was picking up and preparing to throw debris at him. He would then spin right to bring his other blade into play. If the adjucha tried countering with a punch or kick the right handed sword would cut into that limb. If no counter was attempted he'd aim to sever the hollow's left leg.

Regardless of the success of either attack Shakan would leap away from the hollow once he landed to gain some distance. "You will not defeat me, you steaming pile of garbage."

[Anubix Haru]

Anubix simply looked at his oppoent. Hearing many Shinigami and arrancar/ Hollow's screaming and dying around the two of them as they had their own battle. He began to think on what to do with this Arrancar. Capture him and let nonko use him as a test sample? No, that would be just to cruel to be even called humor. Amongest the dying screams, he heard his grand father's voice ring inside his head, and what he said would lead Anubix to his next move pointing his left index finger at Brago."Crown of the King, shatter the bones of the beast, let your six hands place judgement on the wicked, as they bow in your Honor. Destructive kidou number 41. Roku Teikoku Touken...." When he was finished speaking, six swords made out of pure light would appear in the sky above brago, aiming at him. The six swords would come crashing down towards him. If Brago avoids the attack, he'd find Anubix Shunpouing his way right towards him with his Scythe ready to attack and would begin attacking the arrancar with everything he has. But if he fails to realize the attack and doesn't avoid, the blades would pierce through him in his shoulders, arms and even legs. This was a kidou that was souley past through his family line.

Anubix didn't show no mercy in his coming attack's in his Shikai form and would be ready to go Bankai if he needed to go into that form. The more the power, the more fun that could be had in this small little battle ring made up of Shinigami and hollow that were attacking each other. With one distraction, it could end the battle to whatever side that failed to keep they're eye on his or her opponent. Show no mercy towards your enemy for you will not get the same in return. That was drilled into his mind ever since he was little. No matter how the fighting was going, he'd jump back from the fight and prepare for the next attack that he has in store for this Arrancar bug, a very loud surprise.

((OOC: No offense with the name calling))

[Redwinters]

James: (posting AS him for taking too long to post)

Slyx would possibly be surprised that her quick strike actually managed to miss the human’s chest, who’s increased speed allowed him just enough of an increase to his reflex’s to let him narrowly dodge the attack. In that moment he swing his leg around and swipe at Slyx as she tried to back away from him. Unperturbed by the hollow’s unusual threats, he would immediately move forward, speedily moving towards his opponent and throwing a series of kicks her way, hoping that by being unrelenting he would force her off guard.

Shakan's Adjucha:

The first blade managed to make contact with the left arm Shakan was aiming for, slicing into the already injured arm. But when the human tried his second strike, the adjucha decided to use the slab of debris to strike at Shakan instead, causing his sword to collide with the concrete. The reiatsu in the sword allowed it to break the concrete apart, but the human was no strong enough to pass through it and injure the adjucha like he had intended. When he landed and made his insulting remark, the hollows eyes narrowed in anger. At that moment it slammed its hands to the ground causing the sidewalk to shake somewhat followed by it opening its mouth wide, revealing a bright red cero underneath its mask. Its angry eyes stayed fixated on the human, watching him move as it prepared to try and fry him with its power. After a moment of waiting, it discharged the attack dragging the cero beam down the street towards Shakan.

[Brago Kiryuu]

Brago listened as the man recited something. As the kidou was cast he looked up in time to see the six swords. As they descended he jumped using sonido to circumvent the swords and end up above them. As he appeared from his sonido he lifted his blade barely catching the edge of the scythe. The struggle continued as Brago blocked each consecutive attack pushing the blocks further from his body. Using sonido he jumped to the ground. Grasping a shingami that was in battle by the back of his uniform he chucked it at Anubix. Immediately he charged and fired a glowing red cero. This man Brago knew was not someone to take lightly.

((OOC: Not a problem.))
(OOC: I just did the math once you go bankai and i go release just on stats we will be fairly even.)

[Kyoshin Oscuro]

Becoming silent and somewhat somber as Daisuke railed at him, Kyoshin then raised his eyes lazily to the sky as the Shinigami's anchor fell toward him. Sighing resignedly, he said with reluctance in his voice, "Lacerar, Noche Espinosa."

As the massive anchor cleaved into him and nearly split the young Arrancar in half, his sword disappeared from the Shinigami's chest and his Reiatsu exploded outwards, pushing the anchor over with a groundshaking thud. Kyoshin appeared over Daisuke in his Resurreccion, hovering a few feet off the ground with his wounds completely healed. Suddenly, black tentacles would shoot at the Shinigami from all directions, impaling him and growing out thorns of their own inside of his body to destroy him even further.

Leaning over horizontally, suspending himself so that his body was parallel with the ground, Kyoshin reached up and raised his visor, his face about two feet away from Daisuke's. "I don't want to fight, I'm being forced to, but to answer your second statement, yes, there is someone. And perhaps I wasn't expressing myself correctly. You don't annoy me... You disgust me. I loathe you, I despise you; it's taking all the self-restraint I've learned not to tear you to pieces this instant. Because, right now... I'm terrified. Terrified the one I want to protect will get taken from me. That I'll never see her again. Then I see you, joking and laughing while Shinigami and humans alike are dying around you... I don't understand it."

With no more words, Kyoshin's hand shot forward, the bone gauntlet tearing through the other man's neck and cleaving his head from his shoulders. Letting the body collapse, he caught the head with a tentacle and Sonido'd upwards, then located the Shinigami he'd seen before with Pesquisa and sound stepped again, appeared a few yards before him. A twisted grin spread across his face as he addressed his opponent. "So, Rokujo Mountain... What exactly was the plan there? Lock him in a dark box with me and hope for the best? What's your next idea? You gonna throw another one of your best friends at me?"

[Takehiko Rokujo]

"I am not a fool Arrancar," Takehiko said somberly as he watched the headless corpse of his superior fall to the ground, "and neither was Daisuke...we are soldiers Arrancar, and we know when sacrifices have to be made to secure an advantage...while you were preoccupied with Daisuke, I had time to rally our forces and rout most of your army. You no longer have the upper hand."

And it was true, if Kyoshin looked around, he would see that the Shinigami forces were slowly overtaking the hoards of Hollow and Arrancar, while a select few occupied the attention of the Espada and the more powerful Hollows. "To all Shinigami in the field," Take said as he prepared to dismiss his kidou spell, "I'm confronting the enemy commander...for further instructions, seek out Captain Tetsujin, he is wise, and a veteran solider."

Observing Kyoshin, Takehiko let out a small laugh. "Your present form speaks volumes about your character Arrancar," he said as he drew lines on his scroll, creating a series of inky black barriers below them, isolating them from the rest of the battle, "you are the very image of death in Human lore, a black cloaked figure with skeletal features...it shows your arrogance, and your fear...tell me Arrancar, do you believe in anything or anyone? Do you have ideals? Because I believe in protecting the innocent, even if I must dirty my own hands. I believe in my fellow Shinigami, even if they are not as strong or as capable as I am. My ideal world is one where war is no longer necessary, and where if we wish we may find balance through battle for sport, rather that to see the blood of our enemies stain the earth."

Placing his brush back into the hilt of his sword, and securing the scroll at his waist once more, Takehiko drew his sword once more. "Grasp the Truth," Takehiko said as the ink in his crystal blade, and the barrier below them turned crimson, and as the scroll on his waist vanished, "Bankai, Shougami no Goku!" His reiatsu would explode for a moment, before becoming indiscernible once again, as scrolls began to blanket the now crimson barrier below. The dots that had previously littered his Shikai's scroll were also displayed on the new battlefield, much larger and accurate than before, showing the progress of the battle below.

"It's just you and me now boy," Take said as he dismissed his transmission kidou and brought his blade up to his left arm and cut himself, "and I won't be going easy on you." As he finished the cut on his arm, the amount of red liquid in his blade would increase, as he seemed to take a breath. When he had recovered slightly from the effect of the cut, he would slash at the air and shout ,"Hanagata!" sending a Cero like wave of energy at the Arrancar, being sure not to put too much energy into it, conserving the amount of "ink" in his blade.

SPOILER: Click to show

[Sven Delacroix]

Sven's head tilted curiously to the side as he watched the black spheres form. They were new to him, a technique he himself was not entirely familiar with. Sven's Pesquisa scanned over them to try to understand the technique better, but came up short with no knowledge about them other then they were inconsistencies in space. In a way, they were reminiscent of Negacion fields, but it was the closest thing Sven had for comparison, yet a poorly made one at that.

Sven's eyes would then focus on the voice, a silver orb beginning to form in his left hand, as he made a proper introduction towards the Shinigami, his voice speaking warmly, though deceiving at that. "Sven Sutoikku, Cuarta Espada under the Lord of The Deep. It'z an honor, Azerik." Upon concluding, Sven raised his left hand, aligning the silver orb with where the Shinigami was, directly through the black spheres.

Sven would discover how these spheres worked. He was uneasy with just rushing into the unknown globes, knowing only that they may be similar to Negacion fields. Nay, he needed to confirm it, as his mouth ushered the solitary word, "Cero....."

[Redwinters]

***The battle at large***

Takehiko's previous "order" for the shinigami to take on groups of five regardless of division was at first ignored. Many shinigami were in too much of the thick of it, and there was a certain stigma of taking orders from an unseated officer. But as the battle conditions worsened, the soldiers of war began to cast aside their doubts and attitudes when they saw Daisuke's battle reach a fevered pitch. Coming together they began to form squads that were small in number but far more focused, and the ground they had lost was being one back thanks to the incredible interventions of 4th divisions highest ranks in the main streets. With the major roads cleared, it allowed better access for the soldiers to move around the battlefield and give a more strategic advantage to the battle below.

With shinigami funneling in from all sides, hollow forces lost ground that they originally had a foothold in. What once seemed like a fight they were assured to win was slowly tipping in the other direction as the soldiers were motivated by Take's words and the loss of "the anchor of the 11th division," Daisuke. As the major fighting continued to be pushed further and further into the center of the battlefield, the battles began to merge together, turning it all into a chaotic mess. It would become difficult for either side to coordinate as the mass of shinigami and hollow completely surrounded one another. The end of the battle would be decided in these final moments, as the shinigami made their final push.

((Posting order from this moment on, due to the battle become chaotic, will now follow a different posting order. From here on out, you may post whenever you like, so long as you don't double post, or post again before the characters you are interacting with post. (So if Az were to post in his fight against sven, he would merely need to wait for Sven to reply instead of waiting for everyone to reply) So yeah, go nuts and post lots. If you have any questions feel free to PM and I'll try and sort things out. This is the final stage of the event, so try to wrap up your battles))

[Nonko Ryuuza]

Nanako appeared standing above the crashed beast. Her eyes fixed on it as she spoke. "Bakudou 75. Gochûtekkan!" Using the same kidou spelled used by Nonko. There was no doubt she would have a better chance to contain him after his run in with the building. Skipping the incantation she preformed the hand movements for the kidou summoning another set of five thick pillars aimed to hold the dragon down. "Nonko-sama wants you capture you, so I will help him in that." She almost appeared annoyed.

Nonko for the most ignored the others and left the fighting of the Gillians to Mijek. He seemed to be handling them well enough without his aide. Also at this point Nonko's only focus was the creature who attack him. Scanning the area he spotted Nanako and quickly moved to her.

"Good Girl."

He said as he flaw closer hoping to see a pined dragon.

(Remember. Nanako is matched to Mijek's current stats. Also I'm assuming Mijek took the attention of the Gillians from what I read in the post. If I read wrong tell me and I'll make some corrections)

[Hirugane Tetsujin]

"Reform around the weakened officers, each unit needs to keep on man held back to deal with surprises and offer the decisive finishing blow with kidou. Remember, each hollow is taken down by no less then 5 men, if your fighting one alone abandon the target and return to your formation." Hirugane stalked sternly with slow and methodical precision betweem combat zones. Hollows had already started to retreat in some places or so news had said but here more seemed to crawl outta the wood work every minute. The 4 or so groups he had gathered around himself were beginning to meld quite well together despite division differences and he was glad to see them succeeding in taking down much more powerful foes with their combined strength and abilities. Several shikai he had seen he was looking forward to finding a new home in his division for later on as combative medical units because of how they could adapt to a situation of needing to defend a small area versus just kill everything in sight.

A trio of brothers he was especially eyeing as they spear headed his entire group with the other two members merely acting as fire support form the backfield.

"Men, keep clearing out don't go down side-streets to small to maneuver and keep yourselves open and able to move. If they start to run let them we will have to just allow it so we do not lose the lot of you to a trap. Tenijiro brothers your platoon leaders here."

The three brothers turned to salute, at the same time combing assaults to decapitate a large hollow before they were lost to the chaos and Hirugane moved off.

This unit had felt the pressure of a man holding back a tidal wave and falling. Hirugane however had felt it fade to the last vestiges of complete despair before simply winking out of existence. The man would receive proper burial and a heroes parade for the sacrifice he had made for this war to turn. The Tetsujin House would be sure of that.

Ignoring orders he had just delivered Hirugane walked resolutely down sidestreets raising his weapon to obliterate the forces he had known to be waiting in ambush amongst many of them. His old bones ached but he would honor the Generation that had replaced him with such fiery courage and suffered through it just the same.

somewhere along this short jouney he unleashed his bankai but rather then unleashing it on the world around him he and it now knelt before what was left of a the man, clearly the head was missing but Hirugane would not let any shinigami return home without finding it so he might somehow return it to the body.

"May the soul rest before moving on, reborn anew at the light of dawn." He reached one arm out, the giant form of his bankai mimicing his motion to hover above the body. "Like the phoenix you will live forever immortal among the cycle of our souls." With the pretty words through he pressed the red fiery hand down and the body was reduced to nothing but ash before him. He brought his other arm over and then pressed down with it as well, reforming the ashes into skeleton and flesh and for now a blank slate without details.

"Rest here in this form while I continue to clear the way."

The bankai flared brightly before resealing and Hirugane set about administrating the 4th squad relief efforts along with helping them link up with the wandering formations and also start sending them out to the sidelines of the more major battles to administer aide as soon as it became safe.

[Slyx]

Slyx was impressed that he was able to avoid her one attack, but she'd have to play it smart. She allowed a hit in there and then, but this human was now slowly getting on her nerves. She'd slowly begin raising her reiatsu level. When one strike tried to get her near the chest, she lifted her left arm and stopped the attack with a smile on her face. Grabbing the ankle, she'd start spinning James around, aiming him high, she let go of this human. His body started flying in the diraction of a female shinigami that was on top of a building who just seems to be Nanako. Slyx's eyes would look down and see Nero on the ground, so hopefully this human James would hit the Shinigami knocking her off her game and hopefully help Nero out.

She grab a random hollow. Slicing the throat out, she'd devour it making her alittle stronger. Slyx would start bolting towards Nero. As she ran, she howled. Calling for help. A few portal's would open and three Gillan's would come walking through. Cero's began to form from their mouth's and fired at Nonko and Nanako.

[Asao Asakobi]

"Hmm..." Asao analyzed the odd situation before him staying well outta sight of the gathered individuals despite the apparent plight of the human half of the party. He was currently trying to make sense of the giant cross wearing bondage queen. She sort of creeped Asao out in a 'this is the opposite of hiding and not being noticed what the heck are you doing' kind of way.

"They seem to have it handled...i'm just gonna keep clearing the streets around here of....debriss....something that doesn't require alot of attention. Captain never said I had to help the humans that could fight right?"

(is now lurking outside the rose battle as i realy have nowhere else to put him and wanna remin open for help there.)

[Shakan]

As Shakan landed from his second leap with his back still turned to the adjucha he immediately sheathed both of his swords. He felt the ground shake as well as the hollow gathering energy for an attack. "It understood the insult?" The human thought to himself. This was the first time a hollow had responded to such stimulus for him. Regardless... this was a creature he needed to destroy.

-- Novice Weapon Skill Boost--

Reiatsu: 70
Attack: 70
Speed: 70
Weapon Skill: 70

Crimson reitsu began seeping from Shakan as the crystals on his gloves started glowing brightly with the same color. Black veins seemed to begin to form in various parts of the human... even appearing over his clothes. To add onto the change in power the ethereal hand that sliced into the hollow now appeared a bit translucently... except there were two now... one covering over each of Shakan's hands. The human had gone into his complete fullbring form.

He brought his palms aimed at each other in close proximity as a crimson ball of energy began to form and swirl quickly between his hands. "I told you I will not be defeated..." He spoke with a bit of a deeper voice. Right when the hollow fired its cero Shakan launched into action. "Inferno... Divider!" He roared as he spun quickly around in the creatures direction. He outstretched both of his arms which unleashed a large blast of continuous energy. Shakan intended for the blast to push through the cero and obliterate the adjucha. While it was big the inferno divider was large enough to envelope most... if not all of the hollow and with the surprise increase in power for Shakan... it only aided in doing this.

[Anubix Haru]

Anubix shook his head at the sight of what was going on. Taking his left hand, reiatsu was seen gathering at it. His voice low as he began to speak again since he had time to do a kido spell. "Bone of a straggling beast, spire, crimson crystal, disc of steel, when the wind shifts, and the emptiness ceases, let the clash of lances resonate through the relinquished castle. Destructive Kido art number 63. Raikôhô(Thunder Roar Cannon)!" A massive amount of reaitsu just stronger then Brago's Cero was fired as the sound of thunder was heard from it firing from Anubix's hand went racing towards Brago. It hit the Cero and slowly consume it. His attack would continue with it's path to his target and if Brago would avoid it, Anubix would Shunpo himself behind Brago taking the bottom of his Scythe and slamming it into Brago's mid back range making him fall forward.

He could see that Brago was getting desperate for him having to get a human shield, but every Shinigami know's no matter the cost, the Hollow and Arrancar have to be defeated, even if it means one maybe a thousand shinigami die in the battle. It's a risk all of them have to take. He'd move away from Brago with his Scythe's blades on the ground. " Vipers....turn into the creatures..." As Anubix began to speak again, his reiatsu began to spike as the sound of the ground beneath them began to crack. His reiatsu aura slowly began to fade into view as his rei showed it's golden form. The reiatsu looked like a fire over Anubix. "that you truely are....Ban.....Kai..."

The scythe glowed brightly as it would slowly turn into a 72" long Katana and would disappear. His Captain's Jacket and shirt would also disappear leaving him bare chested. Anubix's Captain logo of 10th division would form on his back, and finally. The one sight almost every shinigami almost have forgotten, The two giant snakes came into sight letting out their massive hissing like roar at Brago. "It's time....to end this....Brago"

Shakan:[/u]

The two blasts collided with each other as Shakan intended, causing the two to battle out for dominance in strength. The consistency between the two attacks made it appear as if two hollow had fired cero’s at one another, Shakan himself would notice that his reiatsu was quite similar to the Adjucha’s, being a fullbringer had that effect. The large creature dug its fingers deep into the concrete to keep itself in place, as it released more of its power in its attack. Shakan, even with his increased Reiatsu, would find that the cero was beating out his ability and inferno divider was losing steam. The adjucha’s cero would wear off before it could hit the human, but Shakan’s attack had dissipated without pushing through as he had intended.

The hollow lifted its arms from the ground, and clenched them into the giant’s fists that they were. Its eyes were fixated on the human now, fire within them. It was as if the hollow had come to realize that the opponent it picked was better than it thought; this was not a battle for food or victory, it was for survival now. Energy similar to a cero built up in the monsters hands, though instead of a regular cero it seemed to create gauntlets of its own reiatsu around both arms…a custom cero. Growling, the beast stood tall and towered over the human before letting out another roar and charging at him. The hollow raced forward at its enemy, swinging its charged fists right at its opponent. A series of punches would fly from the monster as it would try to trade blows with the human, it would remain in its position and expected Shakan to do the same. The victor of this battle would be the one who had the most endurance, who could survive the biggest beat down between the two, and it would be decided here.

Battle at large:

Both forces continued to push against each other, now all funneled into the center of the city. It was nearly impossible to keep track of the fight at large now, let alone who was winning. One thing was certain, both forces were being absolutely decimated.

One thing that would easily catch everyone attention was the loud scream of pain coming from the Tercero Espada, Rose. Her yell echoed throughout the entire battlefield. To many of the more loyal hollow, it was disheartening to hear.

[Brago Kiryuu]

Brago snarled as he used sonido to get out of the blast radius only to be hit in the back and knocked forward. Flipping over himself he stood straight up and spun to listen as Anubix released his bankai. The power was borderline brutal and overpowering. Brago gripped his sword as Anubix finished his transformation. Brago laughed as the reiatsu settled over him. He lifted his sword aiming the point at Anubix. His voice a gravely sound he spoke. Levanta la cabeza Gran Lobo.[/i] As the last word left his mouth his reiatsu flared to its maximum and began expanding. The transformation had begun and he could feel his own power coursing through him. His reiatsu formed into a black shell around him and blocked him from view. After a few moments a fearsome roar echoed across the battlefield and the reiatsu cracked and exploded like an egg. Brago stood there his demonic looking form intimidating to most and his power began its effect.
