Rose flinched from the sudden increase in intensity from Miwa’s electricity when she was charging her Cero, hiding the force of Henry’s arrow against the side of her arm which left behind another brand. However by that point the increase in power was too late to deter her from firing off the specialized attack. At that moment The Tercero had assumed the fight would be over against the young human who was engulfed in the attack and had already suffered a slash to her stomach. Much to her dismay, however, the electricity building up around the two continued to increase and the girls reiatsu became far more uncontrolled making it difficult for Rose to make out her appearance even with Presquisa. Things moved quickly, and from what Rose could make out it seemed as if the human was attempting another slash against the espada, but the attack never came. Instead Miwa severed her own hand and, using the energy she had gathered, destroyed her sword to force the two apart. The release of energy on the inside of Rose’s cero forced her to end it early as she was pushed back from the explosion. Her boots grinded against the cement at her feet as the surge of energy burned against her forearms; lifted in an attempt to block some of the incoming damage from the attack. This caused the entirety of her sleeves to be burned away, and showed visible damage done to both her arms from elbow to wrist. Smoke from the explosion would conceal her from the other humans, though she could still “see” their reiatsu. Miwa’s own was much easier to examine now that she had drained so much power. Rose looked down at the severed hand she had grabbed with her own…now a charred mess from the damage the cero had done to it. “You would fight against death so vehemently…?” Her voice asked softly, shaking her head lightly in disbelief. “Lord Karzan will not fail, so I must not either. I will fight to protect my family, just as you protect yours. It’s clear by how desperate you are to achieve victory that I can not take any chances with your kind…Our survival depends on it.” She admitted, tossing the hand into the smoke and debris which landed close to Henry and Drystan. “To protect them…and to give you the chance to unite with those you have lost…” Her voice lowered into almost a whisper among the chaos around them. A sharp wind flew past them in the area they fought as she lifted her sword, pointing it at her abdomen. “I will defeat you. Vidente de la luz…” The name echoed outward as Rose’s white hair was suddenly flung upward towards the sky and her sword began glowing a brilliant bright light. When this happened she stabbed the blade into her stomach, causing it to disperse within her, and engulfed her in the same powerful light. This light spread from her and began expanding in every direction for roughly twenty feet, more than enough to capture all three humans within its light if they did not move. Within the light emerged an enourmous mechanical cross, its sides grinding into the buildings to the left and right of them as it stretched nearly thirty feet upward. The sound of gears moving made it sound like there was an enormous clock ticking in the very minds of Rose’s opponents. Chains from this cross extended outward from slots all around it and “captured” Rose. The tied and chained her to the front of the cross, keeping her somewhat fused with the machination. “I will do what I must, for both our sakes! Now...come!” Her voice echoed to the three as head looked down upon them blankly. 2 gears at that point seperated themselves from her "body," floating in front of her. She did not attack, however, she waited for their next move and made sure she was prepared for it. While her spiritual pressure had increased it was far to hard for her to concentrate it on the three due to how big of a boost it was, meaning for the moment they were uneffected by it.
Reiatsu: 190 + 20 + 75 + 10 = 295
Attack: 170 + 20 + 75 + 10 = 275
Speed: 60 + 20 + 75 + 10 = 165
Weapon Skill: 110 + 20 + 75 + 10 = 215
Weapon skill posts: 3
At the moment of release, a large beam of light shines down upon the cross regardless of where it is. The light has a radius of about 20 feet and any caught within (aside from rose) becomes weakened, lowering all of their stats by 10. The light lasts for 3 posts, and the stat penalties length accumulates the longer they remain in the light. Being exposed to it for one post makes the stat reduction last 5 posts, 2 makes it last 7, and 3 makes it last 10. Once these three posts are up the light returns to the cross, and is not longer accessible until her zanpakuto is sealed again.

Henry, who was still trying to keep himself going against the enormous spiritual pressure, was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of another spiritually aware human. He looked at the older human hesitantly, not exactly recognizing him at first. His head nodded quickly though, as he realized it was the alchemist he had met once before. “Drystan!? They drag you into this too?” He questioned, surprised to be seeing the alchemist at all, let alone in the middle of the battlefield. His eyes jolted from the human back to the cero that engulfed Miwa in front of them, “Listen, this ahrancah is not messing around, and vee need all the help vee can get! I hope that’s vhat you’re here to do. …The othah Quincy, they vant nothing to do vith this battle…” He mentioned the last part solemnly, as another branding arrow appeared in his left hand.
“She’s tough,” Henry began to explain as electricity was building up around the cero; whatever was going on inside still hidden to the two boys. “But the espada’s heirro is too strong even for her. As it stands now vee can’t even touch her. The areas I've branded with my arrows are more vulnerable...but even then we don't have the skill to utilize them effectively.” The quincy sounded desperate as his legs trembled slightly at the sight of this reiatsu that emanated from Rose. “I hope you came here with a plan…cause I can’t think of one,” He said before his voice was drowned out by the explosion from within the cero which allowed Miwa to break free of the blind hollow’s grip. It only took the boy seconds to realize HOW Miwa got away…by cutting her own hand off.
Quickly the quincy darted towards her, “Miwa Senpoy,” he called clearly out of breath as he got up to her. “No time to examine the wound, but I’ll be able to help you once vee get out of here…I hope.” He muttered to himself as he looked at her stubbed arm. While Rose began speaking out towards the three, the quincy quickly jabbed the branding arrow into Miwa’s arm…creating a “mark of shame.” To Miwa, the brand would suddenly stop the blood flow from the wound and relieve her of the pain…though it would not “heal” the wound. “It’s only temporary,” he warned, “But it should keep you in this fight a little longer.”
With that, the light from Rose’s resurrection rapidly grew towards them. It passed over Henry and it would pass over Miwa too if she didn’t move; unfortunately Henry did not have the reflex’s to get out of the way. As the Light hit him he felt like his energy was being drained, making the environment even worse on him. He stumbled back, doing his best to make his way out of the lights radius. “How are vee supposed to fight that!?” He yelled aloud in shock as the cross-shaped machination appeared before them. This was bad…this was very bad. Still, Heinrich knew he couldn’t just run…not now. He knew he definitely could not harm her now…but he was running out of his branding arrows. By now he only had at most three left before he couldn’t make anymore. No…they needed a plan. “Either of you got any ideas…? Or should vee start praying?” Henry stood at the ready, waiting to hear what the others thought they should do to challenge this hollow. He could tell Miwa wasn't gonna give up, and knew Drystan was intelligent enough. There had to be a way...

Listening quietly, as events unfolded before him, Drystan absorbed and analyzed the situation they were in fighting this Hollow. Out of the three of them, Miwa had the most chance of doing serious damage, which made the loss of her hand a crippling blow to any offensive strategy he could come up with. Looking at the female Arrancar as Heinrich spoke about his branding arrows, Drystan made use of his Radharc, his special Vision that allowed him to see the flow of Reiatsu, and took note of how the brands disrupted the Espada's own flow. Taking into effect what he had observed so far of the woman Espada, she was heavy on defense, and she had a Cero developed specifically to defend herself. If as a group they adopted a defensive strategy, they could force her out of her comfort zone and initiate counter attacks more successfully than if they charged at her head on. Explaining what he had just observed to Heinrich and Miwa, Drystan began to formulate a rough plan. "It's definitely not gonna be easy," he said quickly as Rose began to act, "but Henry's brands give us an important advantage...if I can get in close to her, I think I can disrupt the condensed reiatsu that makes her skin so hard to cut, but only in the branded areas. Once I disrupt her defensive reiatsu, Miwa can attack her more successfully, and Henry can try some of his other tricks...I'll defend both of you as best I can.Then, on instinct Drystan used the runic circle on his left hand to form another small one in the air above Miwa's stump, and a jet of fire raced out from its center singeing the flesh and cauterizing the wound. The glowing runic circle vanished along with the flame as Drystan spoke again saying, "When this battle comes to an end, I can probably help with that missing hand of yours, no promises though.After he had relayed the plan to his comrades, Drystan looked to see the Espada woman changing forms, and a light spreading out towards them. Realizing the light was not mere theatrics from the reiatsu coursing through it, Drystan slammed his hand down on the ground, and in a flash of lavender light, a stone hand would come out of the ground below Miwa and move her away from the advancing light, giving her a better chance of avoiding it. He and Heinrich could be caught up in it, but Miwa was heavily injured already, and the cornerstone of their offensive, so she needed to remain unaffected. Reiatsu: 90 - 10 = 80
Attack: 90 - 10 = 80
Speed: 100 - 10 = 90
Weapon Skill: 80 - 10 = 70 |

Miwa's eyes veered slightly to the right, as she heard Heinrich usher the name Drystan. Just great, that fucking pervert was here as well. Oh well, his skills might prove somewhat beneficial. Miwa pondered among herself as the Quincy ran up to her, saying a few select words as the Quincy jammed an arrow into the raw flesh of her missing limb, causing her to cry out angrily towards the fellow human. "Just what the fuck do you think your......" She stopped midsentence as the pain subsided from the wound, her face turning flush as her head turned away avoiding the Quincy's gaze. Yes, it was an improvement, but to a fighter, it was disgraceful, so Miwa had mixed feelings about it. Her thoughts were cast aside, as she now stared intently at the Arrancar who had just released her blade, eying the large cross now fused with the Espada, the static flaring around her person and the pressure pushing upon her indicating the massive change in power of the Arrancar. She was so distraught by the Ressurecion she didn't even notice the runic circle appearing nor feel the flame scorch her severed limb due to the effect pf Heinrich's arrow. She merely just muttered under her breath, "So that's a Ressurecion...." Of course, Abel Nox, the only arrancar she had fought before had either no release or just chose to hide it. She could now see why it was a force to be reckoned with, but it only served to bring a smile to her face. Can't have it be too easy now. A slight rumbling underneath Miwa alerted her to something down below, as her knees bent in anticipation, the large hammer in hand reforging itself into a large shuriken as her electricity flared up again, as the large stone hand rocketed out of the earth below, catapulting Miwa into the air. As she landed, she irritatingly muttered Drystan's name, before turning her gaze upwards towards the flash of light that soon followed the Espada's release. Her figure would land gracefully on the ground her stump pressed up against the ground, as she soon took off at a full sprint to avoid the unnatural light, which Drystan's actions hinted it was more then it appeared to be. As she skidded to a halt, a quick somersault was initiated as she rotated herself around to face the Arrancar once again, the light seemingly ceasing to cover any more area. Smiling maliciously, she called out to Drystan. "Then you had better do it fast, because this is now personal." Waving her stubbed arm briefly in front of her face, her other arm flung the oversized Shuriken towards Rose, as the chains on Miwa's body vanished, her reiatsu flaring up once again as it steadily dimmered, becoming more concentrated. The Shuriken on the other hand, was consumed in the pulsing blue electrical current.

Once the light had reached its farthest point it would remain there, letting off a small hum sound as if it where generating some form of energy. It was the sound of the light dampening the energy of those caught within it. The chains and metallic pieces of the cross shifted and tightened around Rose, but the brands the three humans discussed would still be visible. Unfortunately the arrancar’s reiatsu was too strong for her to actually even take notice of the brand; they were still affecting her body but there was no means for her to locate or “see” them because her own reiatsu hid them from her. The screaming coming from the brands was irritating, but Rose’s increase in power allowed her to ignore it for the most part now.
No, her attention was on these humans. They spoke beneath her, trying to think of some sort of plan most likely. The brands were too loud to accurately hear what they were planning, but she did notice the girls reiatsu begin to concentrate and become more refined. It seemed her powers increased somewhat, but it also allowed Rose’s vision to more accurately see the girl…and what she saw was Miwa using her remaining hand to hurl a large shuriken-like weapon at the espada. At that moment, two bolts of light struck the two gears that floated overhead and activated them. The two gears began to spin wildly as they flew over to the throwing star and intercepted it. The gears would slam into it from the front and back, sandwiching it until it ran out of steam, and then allowed to fall harmlessly to the ground.
“Even your speed can not save you now, human. ...My defenses are even greater in this form.” She spoke out to them while her gears blocked Miwa’s attack, her voice echoing like she was speaking through a megaphone or something similar. On cue with this, slots around the cross began to open, revealing four additional chains that moved and twitched telepathically. “…Now accept your fate; you must die so that we may survive!” With that, two chains flew forward towards a near by car and “linked” to it. At that moment it would effortlessly be lifted into the air by the chains and flung at the human girl. Meanwhile the other two chains flew towards Henry and Drystan, respectfully. Each chain surged with white energy that cackled like electricity until it suddenly solidified into a blade-like shape. The two chains would soar towards them, aiming to cut them down with vertical slashes into the ground at them.
Rose herself remained stationary throughout all these actions, her mind controlling her resurrection instead of her body; the body that remained fused to the machination of the cross. “I will not fail, Lord Karzan.” She reassured herself quietly under all the noise, trying to boost her small ego just enough to keep her with some confidence. “We will win, and everything will be better for us. …I mustn’t be weak now…I must be strong, for them. Kyoshin…I will show you that I can protect myself…I will prove it to myself as well.” She thought timidly as she watched her attacks play out. It was a bit ironic for such a hulking form to lack self confidence...but that was Rose.

“I mahnaged to hit her tvice, once on her arm and the other time…” He cleared his throat somewhat, as he saw Miwa’s weapon fly overhead, “ On her chest, Drystahn. At this point, neither ahe gonna be easy to get to for you…but I’ll do my best to distract her.” Raising his free hand he created another branding arrow before placing it on his waist for easy access later, “If I can, I’ll try and hit her vith ahnother to give us more places to hit her, but I can only make two more…so vee better make these count.” The young man took in a deep breath, trying his best to calm his nerves. It was obvious though that he was shaking and just shy of panicking; it was taking everything he had just staying there and continuing the fight. He ran across the area they were fighting, concentrating all his energy into a similar boost of power that Miwa preformed on herself to give him some of his lost power back. As he did so he sent a volley of arrows towards the espada to try and distract her, knowing they would not damage her at all. “Ack…I’m so screwed… I should have listened to the other quincy. At least they vill live like cowards instead of dieing like one.” He muttered quietly to himself as his arrows harmlessly bounced off the giant cross, it didn’t even seem like it got her attentiong. …Probably because she could not see it. “Vait…” He thought on it, every time he had fired attacks at her she had never truly been able to register them…his arrows were too “weak” for her senses to pick up on them. With her current level of reiatsu they were most likely near invisible to her. As he began preparing to use his next branding arrow, the cross opened sections of it and revealed more tools of murder for Rose to use on them. “This is getting ridiculous…” He sighed in exasperation as one of them jettisoned towards him. He didn’t have time to react; it was far faster than he was. So with a pray he tried to leaping backwards to avoid getting outright eviscerated by this thing and tried his best to fire the arrow towards ANY portion of the arrancar’s physical body. Just as he released the arrow the sword would swing past him, the tip quite easily managing to cut right down the front of his chest; a spurt of blood followed the blade as Heinrich yelled out in pain as he received a very large injury on him. Any deeper, and it would have been fatal. He created his last branding arrow…he needed to or the blood loss would kill him, and used it on himself to prevent the wound from getting worse. There went the last of his brands…hopefully it would be enough. His arrow would continue on its path, though, on a trajectory with Rose’s left arm. If it hit, both her sides and her front would be exposed to the branding's effects, hopefully giving Drystan an easier chance of getting to her and giving them a better chance of being capable of harming her.
Reiatsu: 80 - 10 + 20 = 90

Hand still on the ground from when he had moved Miwa, Drystan materialized two stone walls in front of himself, so that by the time the bladed chains had destroyed the walls, he had already ran around them and made a dash for the Arrancar. "Over here you crazy heifer!" Drystan shouted as he ran, changing his shield into a scutum for better coverage, "You're not gonna hit me if you sit there all day!"As he continued to run toward her, Drystan would make sure he was securely behind his shield, which was just as strong as any Zanpaktou thanks to it being constructed partially from reishi. If she attacked him with the chains head on, he'd probably be pushed back, but he had a plan for that. |

"Stupid bitch, haven't you ever heard the saying the bigger they are, the harder they will fall." Miwa jeered towards the hulking cross as her Shuriken was intercepted. Miwa had expected that much to happen. Unlike Drystan, who was a bit too analytical in her opinion, Miwa preferred to be more straight forward, trying to gather some understanding how the device the Arrancar was bound upon worked. Her eyes briefly shot towards the gears which were struck with a brief illumination before intercepting her Shuriken.
Her eyes also caught the opening of areas of the cross, as her knees bent, preparing for retaliation, the large hammer once again forming in her hand, as the chains heaved a car into the air. Miwa made sure to stay just out of range of the unnatural light, as it seemed to possess supernatural ability, as she kicked off the dirt. The car came crashing into the concrete, strring up slabs of the material as another dust cloud engulfed the area. Miwa's body flung itself backwards, just barely avoiding a near fatal collision with the car. It was ironic, as a child she was told to look both ways before crossing the street, to avoid being hit by a moving car. She just had no idea she would nearly be hit by a car that came not from the street, but the sky. Taking the cue, Miwa let a forced laugh escape her throat, as her eyes closed.
First thing was to concentrate on her own reiatsu, as it began to dim down, the sparks becoming less dangerous, eventually subsiding, as Miwa had stifled her own level to hopefully one that would be undetectable to the Espada, making it appear as though Miwa had become a hood ornament for the aerial vehicle. Thus making her appear as dead. However, as Miwa's only hand gripped tightly around the forged hammer, she still needed enough of her aura to pull this off. Several spectral chains levitated outwards from Miwa's person, latching onto the car, movable through her polarity alteration and a technique one could best describe as static electricity. It caused Miwa's socks to stick to the back of her head much to her annoyance, and the same force controlled the Tesla Coils that now connected to the mass of metal.
Whispering amongst herself, eyelids still clenched shut, she heard Drystan's voice shout out. Yes, that's it. Distract the cocky bitch, Miwa though herself, as she focused on the car, letting a steady current flow into the car, making sure the polarity was negative. As sparks leapt from the hood, the Tesla Coils retracted, wrapping back around Miwa's limbs as she now focused the same principle into her large hammer, the bronze of the hammer now sparking violently with the same negative charged. Now came the moment of truth..
Heaving the massive hammer up with her single hand, Miwa's body begun to spin, using centrifugal force to get the hammer off the ground, as Miwa spiraled towards the car, her amputated arm resting underneath the hammer for support. Then it came, The blunt force of the hammer made contact with the bumper of the car at a low angle as it swung upwards, the momentum gathered with the hammer distributed towards the car, as the added benefit of the similar charges caused a repulsion between the two objects, launching the car back towards Rose at double the speed she had sent it at Miwa, while Miwa flew backwards from the impact of the two as well. Landing on her knee, Miwa's hand let go of the hammer, biting her lower lip as she watched the car rocket towards Rose, hoping the other two would provide sufficient enough distraction for Miwa to get a hit in. At the very least, she should be able to destroy part of that infernal contraption.

Rose looked ahead towards her opponents, watching as her attacks went towards each of them one by one. Her vision had become a melting pot of colors as her mind tried to adjust all the incoming reiatsu into some sort of visual form. It led to some confusing moments during her attack because, for a brief moment, it had appeared that her attack had hit all three of the humans. The quincy’s sky blue reiatsu seemed to clump down to the ground as he yelled out in pain while the other human boy’s lavender shape was sliced in two (not realizing that what she had sliced in two was the wall of concrete he had created in front of him), and finally Miwa, who’s electric blue form dimmed like a candle that was burning out for the last time. In that moment of expectations she had thought that perhaps she had actually managed to defeat the tenacious trio.
That was until she heard the human boy insult her, calling her the equivalent of a fat cow. She frowned at the insult, genuinely upset at the name calling. His lavender reiatsu had shifted from where her chain had cut, catching her off guard as he dashed directly for her with his form obscured due to the shield that hid most of his body; it made him look like a rectangular block of lavender. Unlike the other two she was not sure what to expect of this one, so she took no chances. As he approached her two more chains would exit from openings made across the top of her cross heading straight for the large shield he held in front of him. As these two chains rocketed towards him, the first chain that had attempted to cut him would circle around from where it had cut into the ground to try and snake behind him and stab him in the back.
The woman gritted her teeth as she would try to ensnare the alchemist from both sides. She anticipated some sort of trickery from him so she would also remove the chain near Henry and lifted it overhead of Drystan, poised to strike. At that moment he had two chains flying towards his front, one coming from behind and another aiming right down into his cranium. In her mind, she thought she had him trapped, and with the other two “dealt with” he would have no aid from them. She thought.
But as that brief moment of anticipated victory crossed her mind her vision was overtaken by the human girl’s once more. It was her pesquisa warning her of the incoming car that Miwa had somehow sent right back at her. Gasping as her mind registered what had happened she activate the protective gears and command them forward from their positions to intercept, but it was not enough time to completely stop the attack. As the two gears crashed into the four-wheeled vehicle they only managed to slow it down as it literally sandwiched the espada between itself and the cross she was chained too. The collision basically completely ripped the car apart, causing the obliterated vehicle to land in a heap at Rose’s feet, and left the espada coughing and heaving in pain from getting the wind knocked out of her. The tenancity of this human was frigthening to the espada, who immediately chastised herself for even thinking of the word "fear."
Through out all this confusion, she had not even registered the arrow that had brushed across her left arm, leaving one last brand on her. The infernal noise generated from the brands intensified, and with the collision of the car her concentration was severely broken. Even Drystan would notice as Rose’s chains from behind had suddenly veered off target from the quiet woman’s lack of focus, allowing him to only need to deal with the first two that would collide with his shield.

Henry, still collapsed in a clump on the ground, watched the brand on his body do its job and prevent the injury he received from being lethal…for now, anyway. He would definitely need medical attention as soon as possible if he wanted to get out of this alive, but at this point so did Miwa. He lifted his head when he heard the chain close to him begin to grind against the ground and lift up. Panic seeped into his mind as he thought it would strike him once more, easily ending him in his currently prone state. However, it instead flew over to Drystan who had gotten the attention of the espada and who in turn was launching an all out attack on the alchemist.
Heinrich, looked over at the pale looking arrancar, seeing that his final branding arrow had indeed hit her in the spot he had aimed for. At least that was some good news, but Drystan still needed to be able to get to those brands to weaken Rose’s hierro. Cringing in pain, the quincy lifted himself from the concrete back onto his legs as the roar of a car flying overhead scared him nearly half to death. His fear turned to confidence as it smashed into Rose’s body, which mixed with his brands caused a great enough disturbance that broke her concentration. Of the chains that threatened to entwine Drsytan, only the two aimed towards his front had a chance of hitting him now. Henry knew that if they hit his friend, it would only delay their small opening to get through her heirro. In order to beat her, they needed Drsytan to get to her physical body right now.
Getting to his feet, the quincy moved as fast as he could towards the incoming chains, firing his arrows rapidly towards the espada’s head as a distraction to her eyesight. Once he was in close enough range, the young man would intercept the chains with his body, tangle them up in his bow to stop them from even touching Drystan. This, of course, had the side effect of allowing the two chains to stab into his abdomen and forcing him to the ground. “Gyaah! AAAAH!” He cried out as blood shot from his mouth from the injury. Quickly though he threw his hand up and pointed it towards the brands on the arrancar. “I'll be fine yust keep moving, now’s yer kance! Vee can't afford for you to stop!” He yelled out through his pain as he struggled to keep the chains from going deeper into his body by using his bow as a buffer.

Drystan's eyes widened as things unfolded. He was pleasantly surprised to see the car distract the Espada woman from her attacks, but when Heinrich intervened with her frontal assault, Drystan couldn't stop himself from shouting for the young Quincy to stop. When the bladed chains punctured Henry's abdomen, Drystan couldn't stop himself from flinching, but he continued to run at the Quincy's insistence. "You shouldn't be so reckless, we need to stick to the plan!" he shouted back in an effort to maintain a semblance of balance. As an Alchemist, the one thing he abhorred was human sacrifice...so he would make sure Henry lived through this, once he had given them the opening they needed.
Using Alchemy to make his sword vanish into a series of particles in the air, Drystan jumped and used the concentration of reishi he had just made to launch himself at Rose, holding his left hand facing downward and shouting "Ga!" as a runic circle flashed into existence beneath him. From the center of the circle fired a wide beam of energy, which pushed him toward the Espada at a speed he would not have been capable of normally. He landed face to face with the woman, his right hand reaching forward, as his left hand gripped the chains that held her in place on the cross.
"Sorry about this lady," Drystan shouted as his hand made contact with one of her breasts, the location of Henry's first brand, "but we just can't allow you lot to do as you please anymore!"
As he spoke there would be a bright flash of lavender light, as he used Alchemy to shift the reiatsu in her body, using the weak spots the brands had made as a catalyst, he removed her Hierro from the branded areas. It wouldn't last forever, but it would last long enough to decide their fate.
"She's all yours Miwa!" he shouted as he jumped back and fell to the ground, "make her a right sketch ya gersha!"

Miwa winced as she watched the Quincy pull a martyr act, as her eyes watched Heinrich sputter blood. As she watched Drystan pull his usual magic act, her legs would begin propelling her body forward as she ran under the Arrancar's light towards the large cross.
Reiatsu: 150+20-10=160
Attack: 120+20-10=130
Speed: 170+20-10=180
Weapon Skill: 135+20-10=145

Halting in front of the cross, she kicked at the dirt below her feet. First with her right foot, as a surge of reiatsu revealed metal chains wrapped around her ankle. She then did the same with her left foot, as another chain sought to shackle her to the earth. Her stubby arm would then come to run along her stomach as two more chains wrapped around her abdominals, the ends securing themselves to the ground as well. It was not merely for looks, Miwa had something better planned, something she did not do very often, but she needed the brace of the chains to assure her mark made it's target. She had about 20 feet of Tesla Coil, which would allow her to get level with the Espada, as her eyes shot daggers towards the Arrancar, who was now being groped by Drystan as he grabbed a handful of the Arrancar's breast. Surprisingly enough, it didn't strike her as odd. Ever since their first meeting, Drystan had came onto her, it was only natural he'd find his first woman chained to a cross. After all, she couldn't get away. Miwa just never expected she'd be working alongside a shady individual like Drystan, but he bought her some time for a follow up manuever. Yet Miwa's thumb rotated around in her palm, she gently rolled some sparking materials in her hand into the shape of a ball not much larger than a marble. Sure, it wasn't very big, but it still spelled disaster. The Coils that latched Miwa to the ground would prove it's potency. Clutching her hand shut around the iron marble, Miwa nodded briefly towards Drystan, as she hopped forward, bending her knees as she shot a surge of electricity at the ground, propelling herself towards Rose. Her arm would point itself towards Rose as she became level with the Espada, fist clenched, as she tilted her arm to the side. Pushing the marble to rest on the tip of her forefinger and her thumb, a burst of electricity engulfed the small marble shooting up Miwa's arm as she smiled. "Tell me, you ever hear of a magnetic railgun?" Miwa would coldly exclaim, as she adjusted the polarity in her arm to match the one contained in the marble as she lined up her thumb with the brands on Rose's chest. Thunder erupted around the area, as the marble launched off Miwa's forefinger towards Rose. To anyone watching, the resulting explosion that shot the little marble would appear as a high speed and highly electrified Cero of altering blueish hues, although in actuality it was merely a small rounded piece of metal that would hit with the force of a speeding bullet train, directed straight towards Rose's chest at nearly point blank range. Of course, this was not to say the railgun did not have its disadvantage as the resulting recoil had effect on Miwa, as the explosive aftermath caused her body to rocket backwards, the chains anchoring her to the ground causing her to come to an abrupt halt as she landed in a heap on the ground, the whiplash feeling as though it was too much a toll on her person. Her body made a deep thud in the ground, as the Tesla Coils faded, leaving deep bruises where they kept her from flying too far. As Miwa pushed herself onto her back, she would glance towards her right arm, which was now deeply reddened with burns from the sheer heat of the electricity that propelled the railgun. Her chest heaving, Miwa forced herself into a sitting position as she glanced towards the Arrancar to analyze the damage she had inflicted. |

The pained yell of the quincy made it clear that his blue hue had intercepted the chains poised to strike at the alchemist, surprising even her that he would intentionally harm himself and yet it only further proved how dangerous these people were; so willing to get themselves killed for desperate attacks. Still catching her breath and doing her best to ignore the loud screaming radiating in her mind she had to patiently muster up her next couple of attacks to make sure that they happened, if she tried to multitask too much it would be impossible to be accurate as long as these brands were scrambling the rhythm of her reiatsu.
As she was thinking of how to react, her vision was filled with that of the lavender color that represented the newer human. She gasped at how close she had allowed him to get, cursing those brands once more as they were damaging her perception of the battlefield greatly now. “What are you-!?” She yelled out through gritted teeth and cutting herself off as she felt the pressure of someone’s hand on her chest, a rather specific portion of her chest. She was being groped! By this boy! The portion of her face that was not covered up turned bright red in both anger and utter humiliation. “G-Get off of me this instant!” Her voice impulsively said out of nervousness and disbelief that he would do such a thing.
At the sound of her voice her cross seemed to react instinctively, however, as two slots opened to the left and right of her waist and allowed two more chains to exit from them. Just as Drystan preformed the technique he intended to do, he would find two chains shooting out from the cross at point blank range. Before he could even release his grip on the chains that bound her to the cross, he would find himself impaled much the same way Rose had impaled Heinrich. The chains would extend far enough to force him off of her and slam his spine into the concrete next to Henry at full force. Following up on the attack, the cross then sent energy down the chains that were linked to both boys, causing them to be electrocuted by the reiatsu that conducted into the chains that now linked to them.
Her attention was diverted once the perverted human was off of her, though. While still focusing on her essential torture of the two boys, she had lost track of Miwa and was shocked to see her too so close to her. “It’s too much. It’s too much to keep track of all three of them! Not with all this screaming in my ears!” She criticized herself as her face was clearly strained; sweat drops dripped from her soft cheeks and her hair was wild and unkempt. Her mind was trying to process too much at once; the colors of their reiatsu and separating those from the colors of their attacks, the ringing in her eyes from Heinrichs brands, keeping track of all her chains and gears, and finally just trying to keep her mind focused. It all would have been possible to handle, easy even, if it weren’t for the infernal noise generated from those brands. Her strained mind did have to wonder though, what could this human possibly do to harm her now, in her current form? She then found out.
A small marble exited Miwa’s good hand, and shot into Rose’s chest with a chaotic burst of electricity. Up until the moment the small ball collided into her chest did she think her heirro would protect her…but once it passed through her skin she only managed to let out a gasp of air before the attack hit full force. For a moment, it appeared that the marble had only done a small amount of damage to her front, puncturing a wound in her. "Kyoshin, L-lord Karzan..." It was delayed, for a moment everything ceased, including the torture to Henry and Drsytan. Weakly, Rose’s head seemed to lower in pain…and then it happened. A booming sound, followed by the cross that her back was pressed against to be completely drenched in blood that exploded out of the backside of the arrancar. While the attack was strong enough to pierce her, it was stopped against the front part of the cross, leaving intact but clearly ravaging the pale body of the hollow. The area fell silent once again, only the distance sounds of the other battles being heard as the four were motionless. Finally, a small…pained gasp was heard from Rose. It was followed by a cough of blood, a single cough…truthfully it was more like a heave that was followed by a gush of blood from her mouth.
Painfully, the head of the arrancar lifted itself up…before all the pain seemed to hit her at once. Her mouth opened wide, she let out, “AUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUH!” A scream of Excruciation echoed across the entire battlefield; never before had Rose felt something as painful as what Miwa had just done to her. Desperately her head focused in on the girl, the only thing of reiatsu that she could make out. Beyond Miwa’s reiatsu, her vision was so completely broken by this point everything else was grayed out…but she could still see her. As blood flowed from her mouth, white energy came together at the three ends of her cross and met at the center, creating a cero. It was all she could manage. Aiming the blast at the girl, she fired it with all her remaining strength.

"Gyaa!"
The cry escaped Drystan's lips as he was smashed to the ground next to Heinrich. He smiled weakly at the Quincy before the pain of the electrocution set into him, and he began to scream as his broken body felt like it was being torn apart from the inside.
When the pain stopped, he had barely enough energy to look up and see what was happening, and raised his head just in time to see the blood splatter from the Espada's back. He leaped for joy in his mind, pleased that they had managed to put an end to this fight. His elation was short lived, and what little blood that was left in his face drained as he saw Rose begin to charge a Cero. "RUN YOU MUPPET!" Drystan managed to shout as he too coughed up blood. With his hands resting on the ground, he summoned up as much energy as he could, and used Alchemy to put a stone barrier between Miwa and the energy blast. It would hold for no more than a second, but it was better than nothing.

Henry fared no better than Drystan, as the chains finally pushed back his effort to stop them and fully impaled the young boy into his abdomen, forcing him to the ground in a lump on the floor. He struggled to move but it only made the pain worse as the chains dug deep into his insides. He cried out in immense pain, but it was only made worse once Drsytan landed next to him. He had barely made eye contact with the other human before the energy of Rose's reiatsu tore them to shreds.
The wound Henry had closed with his marke had opened once again, blood flowing from it due to his rapid movement. He screamed in pain, but it was drowned out by the sound of the electricity and his own twitching body which literally was slamming its limbs into concrete as a reaction to the negative energy flowing into it. His arms and legs bled from the force of hitting the street over and over again.
When it finally subsided thanks to Miwa's attack stopping the hollow, Henry had fallen unconscious and was in critical condition. A pool a blood was forming from the wounds left behind from the attack. Another thing that would be noticed was that the brands were fading from Rose's body, with Henry losing consciousness he could no longer will them to remain on her body. Thankfully Miwa had preformed her attack before that happened.
Henry lay motionless, defeated and near death. He let out a small prayer that his eyes would somehow open again before he closed them in a whimper from all the pain that had been caused to him.

Stumbling forward onto all fours, Miwa glanced forward as she heard Drystan call her a muppet. Oh the nerve of that guy. Her irritation with the odd name didn't affect her for long as she glanced up to see the illuminating white light marking the beginning of Rose's Cero. Eyes widening, she quickly pulled herself upwards as Drystan wall shot upwards, providing an additional defense, but not one Miwa could just hide behind. She knew that perfectly well as she struggles to regain her composure, the acidic pain of the burns she had sustained from her last technique afflicting her greatly in addition to exhaustion consuming her body.
Holding her right hand outwards, Miwa began to charge up another current through her arm, gathering materials into her palm, as she clenched her teeth in agony. The lapping electricity did very little to sooth the burn that extended along the full length of her arm, extend increasing the pain as the large shield began to reform itself as Miwa lumbered away from the blast, pushing the shield out to separate her and the light.
For the first time in a while, fear consumed Miwa. She was unable to move like she had before, and while she had been defeated before by these Hollows, she never came to terms with her own mortality. Abel, Addict, even the beginning of the hollow invasion never really put Miwa face to face with death. As she halted behind her barrier, her eyes loomed just over the makeshift one Drystan had placed up, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. She just never expected that light to be that of a Cero.
Tears welled up in her sapphiric eyes as she applied yet more of her reiatsu to the shield, her own reiatsu consuming her fragile body in a blaze of blueish electricity as her reiryoku hit a climax, drawing upon every ounce in her reservoir to merely survived. Even as she silently wept, her tears became highly concentrated orbs of her reiatsu, sparking into several fragments as they hit the ground at her feet. Small fissures appeared beneath her feet as her polarity alteration technique blindly tore through the concrete, using what little conductors contained below her to turn the earth at her feet to a consistency of sand as the light dawned upon her.
The Cero blasted against the barrier Drystan had set up, the fracture lines emerging across the surface as the wall gave way, the flash of impending doom now bearing down upon Miwa's own shield, as cracks formed along the shield's surface. Miwa's reiatsu flared aggressively, though she could no longer feel any pain as Furina had gone beyond her control, taking over in a maelstrom of electricity that had shut down her nervous system as it consumed her. Miwa's eyelids closed slowly as everything now seemed too distant to even be real. It was just a dream now. The last thing Miwa heard was the shattering of glass as she faded away into unconsciousness, her limp body being slammed into the sandy area at her feet, a geyser of her reiatsu shooting upwards as her body was buried under rubble.

Rose was unaware of what her attack had managed to do; no focus could be spared on it. When the cero fired, cracks and fissures crawled along each edge of the cross and made their way towards the center. The audible snapping would grow in intensity as it reached where the pale arrancar had been secured. Just as the cracks reached her body they stopped; a pause as if to reflect on the destruction that had been caused to all the participants. Then, all at once, her resurrection shattered into white reiatsu; the energy flowed around the heavily injured espada and gently placed her to the ground before finally flowed into her hand and contorted into the shape of her Zanpakuto once more. The injured hollow lay on the ground motionless as strands of hair drooped over her bandaged eyes.
Then suddenly, a gasp of air followed by a sharp pain in her chest once more. Blood escaped her mouth once more as she heaved onto the pavement she laid on. Her mind begged the pain to go away, or for her to pass out and be done with it, but it hurt her too much and her mind could literally not turn away from it. “Augh-AAAH!” She cried out again pursued by a whimper. Tears welled up and stained the “cloth” around her face as she tried desperately to sit up onto her knees. What had gone wrong, had she underestimated the humans? Surely that was a part of it, but Rose did not seem to think of it that way. “I’m so weak…” Silently her doubts crept in as she fell to the ground once more, her body incapable of holding her up.
“I did everything Lord Karzan said; used everything Kyoshin taught me and I still failed…” Though her mind seemed to give up, the damaged body would not. Incapable of standing she would bring her right arm forward followed by her left and drag her body across the ground. Weakly, she crawled away from the “perceived” danger of the humans as she was unaware of their current condition. “ …what will happen to me now? Why wasn’t I good enough…?” Her body crawled further and further away, painting the ground in a streak of red blood that escaped her injury. “What good am I to this family? That human was right, I was weak and ignorant.” It was not just her body that was injured; her fragile ego had nearly fallen apart. The only thing keeping her going was her body’s desire for self preservation.
Eventually, she managed to return close to where she had first landed…the bodies of the adjucha that followed her still littered the ground along with the shinigami Kyoshin had killed. “Kyoshin…” She muttered as her head lifted to try and find his darkened reiatsu. She was too dazed, she could not keep track of him but it only added abandonment to her feelings at the moment. She cursed herself once more, she should not have expected him to come for her…this was the way arrancar were supposed to be. This was good that he was not here. Then she made a realization; her feelings had gotten in the way. Despite what she had feared, she had grown close to the other arrancar…and like she feared it made her weak. “I don’t want this.” She said aloud as she fell into a more comfortable position on the ground.
Then the pain returned. A jolt in that started in the wound and traveled down her spine. “AUAAAH! T’AAAH!” Her face shot upward in agony and cried out again. There would be no rest for Rose, the injury would not allow for that. So she would continue to crawl, for as long as it could be allowed. Back into the streets she would go, hoping some of her strength would return to her as she did.

*Ka-Ting*
Asao prodded his blade before the wounded arrancar as if to let her know he was there, in her state it might be taken as an offensive step but he was only really trying to let her know not to try and crawl into him.
"Learned something today I bet..." A voice she would not likely be able to trace to a body said to her as a softer noise of something placed in front of her was heard. "I don't really wanna be the guy who killed an espada today...to much attention so take that and crawl yourself back home to your realm please." The voice sounded dis-interested entirely in finishing rose, or even hoping to touch her in such a weakened state. Luckily Asao had sent off all the other shinigami in the area so nobody would see him avoiding a sure kill.
Slowly his footsteps moved off, fading into the background of the world around her. He'd left a few basics, antiseptic and pain relievers to get her on her feet if she tried hard enough and a bandage to do it's magical bandage duties of healing everything given 3 episodes of being worn.
"So then...the humans...which one owns the hand?" He said, tilting his head lazily as he surveyed the three spread out slightly on the wasteland battlefield. "Start with the bleeding one I guess..." And so Asao, having characteristically gotten the arrancar away from him in a way to avoid needing to mention her on any of his records set about fixing the humans back up. The boy Henry was passed a handful of false blood to fill his body back up with air processing molecules and with a few minutes Asao had cleanly fixed most of the major damage to his blood vessels, major arteries, and even the luckily small damage to the organs his rib cage carried.
Drystan the alchemist was a much easier affair as his wounds had managed to miss major organs entirely. Another setup of false blood just to be safe, though he had not lost so much and this was just to be safe, and Asao quickly patched him up with his needle and thread, pulling out internal blood before finishing with his hand pump carried in his pouch.
As he tuned he found two other 4th squads medics working on the girl, lucky for her as he didn't exactly carry new skin or an ability to do anything more then stabilize a broken bone as he had done to a few ribs between the two men.
"Wait...your missing her hand....Here." He reached into his robes and tossed the hand to them before standing up to glare out at a small gathering of hollow that had followed the medics in. "Sigh....you guys brought them with you....oh well...I'm down to the last deep hit shot so a few hollows should charge him back up nicely in case somebody else comes back...." He leaned forward, sagging forward really, as he stalked to the edge of the line and with a shout of bankai eradicated a whole side-street of the beasties.
"By the Way you two....fix the other guys up would you...couldn't do much on them."
"But sir...they are already treated...wasn't that-"
"Oh good your already done...make sure to put somebody commended you for saving three humans from near death got it." He said, lazily turning his head to look over one shoulder. "Can't believe how good a job you guys do in a pinch."
(okay since i wasn;t clear enough, sorry i am really bad at doing that..again sorry.((Asao can;t use Chiyudou so he justs stitched you guys up in his god like manner of being awesome at it. you need to be careful with the stitches , and your wounds would still be visible as the stitching at least. so be careful about moving around right now. As to the blood that would be able to get you guys back on your feet but with the stitches...your still pretty done for now and need to recover. As to Miwa's hand..i tossed it to the random npcs i inserted that way so that instead of Asao doing his thang and re-attaching it even better then before and with it fully working she had the option of not having it re-attached. Cause I remember her mentioning...tesla coils and her hand once before....)) In conclusion, your shirtless cept for the girl cause she got real chiyudou, your covered in stitches inside and out in heinrichs case, just outside in drystans, and Miwa has the choice to have her hand re-attached fully or...whatever her old plan was.)Sorry for not being clear on that...again...my bad.)

Drystan's eyes opened as he woke up, not sure of when he had fallen unconscious. He looked down at his stomach and blinked in confusion, as he realized his wounds had been patched up. Sitting up frantically, he looked around and saw that the same could be said of Heinrich, and that two Shinigami were reattaching Miwa's missing limb, and tending her other injuries.
"Bloody hell," he muttered to himself with a sigh as he got to his feet and looked at the sullen looking Shinigami with the badge on his arm. "Is she dead?" he asked the badged Shinigami, referring to the woman Espada. He did not expect her to be...but it was best to make sure.
