Requiem For the Vizard Elder [Kuro]

[Redwinters]

As the two shinigami clashed in Take’s attempt to stop Kuro from firing such a powerful attack within the crowd, an arrancar in particular took notice. Dressed in a long “trench coat” like version of the espada attire, he stood hidden from the eyes of the others on the field, even Kuro and Take. His long white hair was tied in a pony tail in the back, and a mask remnant that covered his right eye seemed to have a “target” like symbol on it. Taking notice of the pure power that the vizard seemed to control, his masked eye looked up towards him. “Yes, you’ll be an adequate target.” He said quietly though surprisingly the man he looked at, Kuro, would hear what the arrancar had said. It was as if the hollow was speaking directly into his mind. It would not be surprising if Kuro did not register that he had heard it at all.

Lifting his curved sword, the hollow immediately released his Zanpakuto. His form became more armored, with hollow bone growing from his elbows and knees and his back as well. It gave him a much more skeletal appearance. In his hands was a very unorthodox weapon, however. It was not a blade but resembled a large rifle of some kind. Carefully bringing the scope up, he lined a shot up between Kuro and Takehiko, gave a small grin, and pulled the trigger to the weapon. From the barrel came an enormous turquoise blast of energy which under normal circumstances would have knocked the hollow backward, but his bone like protrusions were used as shock absorbers to keep him in place.

“Get away from your friend, I want you to myself.” Kuro would hear once more, before he and Takehiko would easily sense the blast of energy that fired from the arrancar’s zanpakutou. The blast would fly between them if they separated before dispersing in the air. If Kuro looked down upon where the shot was fired, he would notice the arrancar grinning madly up at him before fading away; turning into ash in actuality. Kuro would most likely not be sure what he just did but one thing was for certain…it was not sonido.

[Kuro Akuma]

The binding spell would close around the elder as the shinigami would find himself in front of him. As he knocked his hand upward Kuro would quickly disperse his attack the powerful cero vanishing instantly and the cold eyes of the elder would lock onto that of the shinigami as he preached to him. Lowering his hand again and playing it against the binding spell he would grab it causing it to break. "Your right I don't know what got into me I guess I still have something to learn about this good guy thing." Kuro replied as he gave a friendly grin and began to rub through his hair sort of embarrassed that he had given such little thought to exactly what power he held. "You know you shouldn't put yourself in harms way like that a little longer and that could of killed you aswell. However I appreciate the lecture apparently I have to get use to considering others around me."

The rubbing through his hair would come to a halt as his face grew serious. A voice had singled him out and being no stranger to voices within the elder knew that it was in his mind. Below be would feel an immense spiritual pressure rise which instantly caught the elders attention. Shortly after he would see a beam if energy heading towards them."Looks like I have someones attention, watch out dont want this hitting you seems pretty strong" Kuro then jumped back allowing the ray of energy to separate the two as he pinpointed the location of the enemy. For a second he saw the bone like appearance of the attacker and knew that he was an hollow. However his visual of his opponent would cease as the beast seemingly faded into nothing but ash. His visual lost the elder began tracking the reitsu of the hollow searching got anything similar to blast he fired. His zanpaktou held firmly in his hand as he did so, trying to limit the chances of a sneak attack by being prepared.

[Redwinters]

Kuro’s would find his attempts to sense the arrancar difficult as the enormous battle going on below him easily masked the hollow’s reiatsu when it was not in use. What Kuro would sense was the reiatsu and energy being released by every hollow, shinigami, and human far below him. It was a diverse mess of reiatsu that would make detecting one over another far more difficult than usual.

“Kuro Akuma; what are you doing even?” The voice rang out in the vizards head once again. “Helping the shinigami? That isn’t like you.” His voice was acidic and taunting, but because it was being projected in Kuro’s mind, he could not use it to find his opponent. “You’re a killer, a monster. This nice guy persona just doesn’t suit you…” He laughed chaotically.

“And it certainly-” He spoke up once more standing on a rooftop behind where Kuro was looking. Placing the large white colored rifle on the edge of the rooftop he put his “crosshair” shaped eye to the scope and aimed it right at the backside of the vizard as he continued, “-Won’t save you!” The last part he actually yelled out as he pulled the trigger to his weapon once more. This time, though, the round fired was much smaller. It was like an actual bullet from a rifle and moved much faster than the first one did. It Kuro was too slow, the attack would pass right through his back and into his chest.

However, the arrancar thought the attack might be avoided, so as the bullet flew past Kuro (if the vizard avoided it) he would lift his left hand and yell out, “Concussion!” causing the attack to suddenly explode near the vizard with concussive force in an attempt to catch him off guard.

[Kuro Akuma]

The hollow continued to taunt the elder speaking directly into his mind. It seemed that he knew the man which wasnt such a suprise considering Kuro had formed an alliance with the group of humanoid hollows back when Anubis was their leader. Kuro smiled as the hollow tried to mentally put him at an disadvantage trying to make him question his recent motives. "Your correct I am a monster. Difference is now I'm a monster to people like you. Now stop your hiding so I can tear you apart like the killer you think I am." He would hear the sinister voice of the hollow from a distance behind him. Shortly afterwards he would feel the energy the same as before with the first blast fired towards him.

A large rectangular square would form behind the elder. Being as skilled as he was with kidou he didn't need to chant anything for his spells in fact he didn't need to say a word as the 81st binding spell came between him and the attack." Now that I know what you reitsu signature is things will be a bit easier. Kuro smirked devilishly staring at the arrancar before vanishing using shunpou. His reitsu spawned a few feet away from the arrancar his zanpaktou still sealed."Prepare yourself!!" The vaizard yelled as he approached swinging his blade downwards to the shoulder of the beast. While he did so the hollow would find a red light trying to engulf him if it did so he would find himself unable to move if only for a instant just long enough for the elder to complete his attack.

(Kidou being used is geki a low numbered binding spell)

[Redwinters]

“Kido…” The arrancar muttered through clenched teeth as he saw the blast from his weapon blocked by the barrier from the Vizard. His eyes watched as the vizard slowly turned himself to face the hollow before he blurred within the “gunner’s” eyes as he shunpo’d right down upon the roof he had stationed himself. Quickly his crosshair eye moved with expert position…as if it had a “lock” on Kuro; this almost look like it forced the arrancar to move his body so that his eye stayed locked on to the vizard elder. This meant he saw immediately when the elder reappeared in front of him.

Kuro raised his blade and prepared another kido without incantation, but the red aura that began to encase the arrancar would miss its target as he once again turned to ash. Now that Kuro was upclose, however, he could see how the technique seemed to work. His footing seemed similar to sonido, but as he took the steps to perform the technique he seemed to literally catch fire and “disintegrate” into ash, allowing him to pass through the kido. He would then reconstitute himself in another ignition of fire, reappearing completely whole only a few inches away from where Kuro had swung his sword.

Immediately, the arrancar would lift his rifle and fire the weapon point blank. The tourquise blast that released from it would easily destroy the section of the roof Kuro was standing on, and Kuro would need to be quick to dodge such an attack at close range. If he looked on he would see that the arrancar’s “eye” still followed his every movement. “There’s no catching me by surprise, Kuro Akuma. Once you’re in my crosshairs there’s no escape, my eye will always follow you wherever you go. That is one of the powers of my…aheh, resurrection.” He explained as the eye seemed to glow and fixate on the Vizard. An odd thing to note, however, is that he seemed to use the English term for his Resurrección, as if he were mocking its name or something. Kuro would certainly notice that there was something off with this arrancar from the others.

"You talk big, but you'll never change. As much as you want to you'll always be just a step away to becoming what I am." He laughed mockingly, as if being a vizard was an ailment.

[Kuro Akuma]

Once the arrancar reappeared Kuro braced himself instantly, he would coat himself with his reitsu giving an armor like effect much similar to that of the arrancars hierro ability. The blast crashed directly into him the force of the attack not only destroyed the roof, but also sent the elder crashing into the building smashing down a few floors before coming to a halt being embedded into the concrete wall of the structure. There he would sit for a second as if he had been defeated with one blow. Above the arrancar would hear a sudden laughter from belowas the vaizard have a sign that he was still alive and well. Kuro then appeared on the destroyed roof standing on a piece of the roof that hadn't been destroyed in the blast. His shoulder was completely exposed now, his clothes torn from both the attack and the debree from his decent into the building. A wound formed on his arm showing the exact spot where the attack had landed blood slowly spilled down his arm, but it looked as if he was in no pain.

"Not bad arrancar, your certainly more unique from those below tell me just who are you?" Kuro asked as he lifted his zanpaktou so that the blade rested on his shoulder.

[Redwinters]

The arrancar looked on as Kuro was blasted away. Casually he took a few steps forward up to the edge of the remainder of the roof, peering over to see the damage he had caused. A scowl crawled across his pale face as the vizard seemed to laugh off the attack before shunpo-ing near the hollow once again. His regular left eye was widened with surprise before slowly narrowing at the elder spirit who showed no signs of pain despite his injury. “Like I said…a monster.” He spat out at the ground as cracked his neck to the left and right as if to say he were “getting serious.”

“More unique…?” He hissed, leaning his rifle against his arm, “I should hope so. I’ve been through far too much to be anything like…them.” He threw his left hand up as he scoffed the notion. “No, I have no stake in the battle below; I’m sure the “current” espada have no idea who I am even…It’s been far too long since I’ve interacted with them.” His normal eye lowered, looking on as hollow and shinigami alike died by the hundreds. Returning his gaze to the vizard, he continued, “To you, Kuro akuma, I am Buer, and I’ve come a long way to find someone like you. And now that I’ve found you, I’m the one who’s going to send you to hell…” He threatened menacingly as he placed his rifle in both hands.

With a burst of reiatsu Buer turned to ash once more, appearing to the right of Kuro. Once there he would fire a single shot, similar to the smaller one from earlier. This one whistled sharply as it left the barrel of the gun. If Kuro tried to dodge it, he would notice that the bullet would change directions and attempt to follow him. Clearly, it was some form of homing attack. “Better start moving,” He recommended with a snicker as he loaded another homing shot before firing again, giving Kuro two to deal with.

[Kuro Akuma]

As the arrancar spoke threatening to send him to hell the elder would shake his head before removing his zanpaktou from his shoulder. "I see well then allow me to make your task a bit difficult. The arrancar would once again fade away using his unique sonido ability and as he emerged back a blinding light would shine emitting from Kuro's zanpaktou as he released his shikia.

As the light in the area faded Kuro would be felt hovering a few yards above the arrancar his zanpaktou now the form of a gunblade. It seemed the two were similar in their abilities, however Kuro would prove he was the best marksman anyone had to offer. Once the arrancar fired his shots the elder watched as they began to curve towards him quickly he would aim down at the hollow firing his own beam though it liked size its speed was tremendous. He then vanished as the first shit reached him appearing not to far away from where he stood originally, his hand held out a few inches from his face which quickly slide down a black mask forming with haste around the elders face the hue in his eyes a golden color matching the golden stripes on his devilish mask. His reitsu spiking instantly showing his power had increased aswell. With both the arrancars shots homing towards him from different directions the elder waited planning to move at the last second and force them to crash into each other.

While he patiently waited he would say,[glow=blue]" Ho-mingu Kujo"[/glow] Knowing the arrancar would more than likely attempt to dodge his first attack Kuro then aimed and fired another this one would have an homing ability, seeing that his first one didn't he tried to catch the arrancar off gaurd with this one.Its size was much larger than the first but travled a lot slower than the first aswell. All the while the attacks from the arrancar closed in.

[Redwinters]

Beur’s left eye closed in a wince at the activation of Kuro’s shikai, but his right eye remained unaffected as it seemed to glow brightly and continued to follow the vizard’s movements. The arrancar had fired off his homing shots at Kuro, who lifted his own gun-like weapon at the white haired hollow. Beur assumed he’d try and use the weapon to counter his shots, so he maneuvered the two blasts to separate to the left and right to avoid getting hit by Kuro’s attack.

He was mistaken, though, as the Vizard aimed his weapon down upon Beur instead. The bolt fired was thin, but incredibly fast; Beur tried to move but by the time he registered his mistake the shot pierced into a section of his chest before firing out the back end. The shot went clean through him, leaving a bleeding wound in the upper part of his chest but it only managed to stagger him temporarily. It was clear it had injured him and he was feeling the pain, but the arrancar was tough enough to push past it and still act at full strength.

The Vizard wasted no time to distance himself from the arrancar and with a maneuver of his hand formed the iconic hollow mask he was known to have. Beur growled as he realigned his iron sights on Kuro, who used a special ability related to his zanpakuto before trying to move and force Beur’s shots to collide. What Kuro would witness, however, was that one of the “bullet’s” merely curved its direction and passed under the other one. The sharp whistling would continue as they circled around and came at the Vizard from behind.

Beur grinned maliciously as the slow moving ball of energy barreled towards him. Kuro had made a mistake in distancing himself from the arrancar and now Beur was gonna take advantage. While his homing attacks circled around to the Vizard’s backside Beur fired off another of his enormous blasts of energy from the rifle. To Kuro’s surprise it easily would overtake his homing attack before it even got close to the arrancar…and the blast continued on a collision with Kuro himself. With the Vizard pincered Beur turned to ash once more, picking a new position in which he could snipe at his opponent. He waited patiently to see how he handled the attacks coming his way before preparing his next shot.

[Kuro Akuma]

" Tch.." A low sinister echo now varied in is voice a side effect of his hollowfication. His attack had been blocked and the homing attacks had circled around and began to rush him from behind. Another larger attack lunged towards him from ahead. Something that the vaizard would take advantage of at the precise moment. Taking a small capsule from the inside pocket of his battered jacket he would crush it as the two attacks collided with his location.An explosion would erupt and smoke would fill the air. The body of the elder would begin to drop from the sky seemingly lifeless, his sword slightly gripped in his hand.

However his eyes would be open as he scanned for the arrancar. Before the attacks crashed into him the elder had used an item made by his own company. It enclosed him safely in a veil of light protecting him from harm rather easily. He didn't want the arrancar knowing such a thing though making it seem as if he had been hit full on. Finding the reitsu of the arrancar his eyes locked in on him as his body continued to seemingly plummit below to the chaos that filled the streets. Kuro's plan was set he would play defeated for now. If he had out smarted Beur he figured he would either follow up with an attack to make sure he had been defeated or look for another opponent the arrancar himself said that he was here to fight so defeating someone so ready would more than likely anger the hollow more than satisfy him specially considering he had his hopes up on a good battle.

(Light bomb activated)

[Redwinters]

Beur kept his iron sights on the vizard even after the blasts had managed to collide with him. His crosshair eye scanned through the smoke, and followed the vizard’s decent as he plummeted down towards the war far below them. Beur didn’t buy it though for one simple reason, which he happily pointed out. “Next time you want to fake your death, put that little mask of yours away! I know it would have broken apart if I really did you in!” He mocked the Vizard in his head with his attempt to fool him, and with the hollow’s rifle already positioned on Kuro, he happily took a precise shot at the prone warrior, aiming directly for his chest with one of his fast moving precise bullets.

“I need you dead, Kuro Akuma, not playing possum with me!” He yelled out as he faded, changing his position once more. From his new view point he would take another shot at the vizard before moving again and taking another. It was clear he was not messing around now, and was definitely irritated that the vizard had even tried to pull something like that on him in the middle of their battle. Kuro would need to act fast, because where he put himself was completely exposed to Beur’s shots…and the arrancar was not letting up on them.

[Kuro Akuma]

" Ha.." Kuro lightly chuckled as Beur explained why Kuro had seemingly failed his plan. In reality the arrancar had fallen right into the vaizards plan just as he figured Beur would do. It seemed that Beur liked to keep his distance from Kuro and from his previous tactics after nearly every shot the arrancar fired he would fade away with his unique sonido like ability. Expecting such a tactic the elder had plotted an ambush for such a thing. Once Beur faded out again Kuro tracked him, gaining control of his body again quite easily the elder would dive down his plummit to the ground dramatically increasing in speed. Beur bragged that his eye would continue to be locked onto him regardless of what he did, this time he counted on that.

Avoiding the beam attack by a narrow margin the elder would find himself zooming a few yards over the battlefield. Low enough that if it had not been for the arrancars keen targeting ability he would of most defintly lost track of him. Which made the elder confident that he would lean on his ability heavily now. As Beur began to emerge from his ash like state Kuro had locked in on his position and flew towards his direction still hanging low using the buildings as cover to make sure the arrancar was focused on him. His low dark echoing voice would quietly say " Tenjingunze" Low enough that only himself would be able to make out what he had said. Beur would take aim once again and as he fired a light would shoot down towards him. The light had the ability to basically freeze the arrancar in place if even for a moment in order for a small fiend to attack him. Knowing what he had started and expecting the hollows full attention due to his ability he figured Beur would pay no attention to what was going on above him if he noticed at all. Kuro then used shunpou as he basically flew below to the arrancars position appearing in front of the arrancar sending a slash that aimed to cut into his torso and exit through his face attempting to kill him in one blow. His timing was precise and based on if the kidou had worked the arrancar would still find himself not able to move.

[Redwinters]

“You don’t learn, do you? How thick headed can you get…no matter where you go…I’ll always be able to find you!” Beur reminded the vizard, almost annoyed that Kuro was trying to hide amongst the crowd. The arrancar would take a few steps forward and lifted his right leg which pressed up against the ledge of the roof he was on. The bone like protrusions extended into the concrete of the roof, keeping him in place as he lined up his shot with the fast moving elder. “I’ve got something special for you this time…” He chuckled lightly as his voice once again projected in Kuro’s mind. “You’ve seen my Ballistic-Cero and my homing shots;” He began to explain as his left hand pulled a lever back on his rifle while his right hand readied to pull the trigger on his gun, “Let me show you what happens when I combine them!” He laughed maliciously as the cero seemed to charge nearly instantly as the enormous blast of energy left the rifle’s barrel.

The intense turquoise blast would fly down into the crowded area below with ridiculous speed following right after Kuro. As he went by the buildings to try and protect him and give him cover, the cero would actually bend and contort to a shape that would allow it to move in the best possible direction and still keep up with the masked shinigami. Meanwhile Beur followed their movements to see how the attack panned out, that was until a white light seemed crash down upon him from the sky. “Wh-what, Kido!?” The white haired arrancar gasped as he suddenly felt his body lock up in place; being so focused on following Kuro, he had not realized his opponent was preparing a spell like this at all. Suddenly a dark fiend would appear and quickly dash past the hollow, causing several cuts and slashes to appear across his chest and arms…though they were minor.

It was at that moment that Kuro would reach Beur, primed to strike him down in a single, decisive blow. “C-concussioooon!” He yelled out in panic the moment the Vizard appeared in front of him. The cero that had been following him up to that point would suddenly disperse in a powerful light, and fifteen of the homing shots would escape its radius aiming at every part of the Vizards body. If he took his swing against the arrancar then, he would be completely exposed to the attack. At that range he only would have enough time to avoid it or finish his strike, and that many of the arrancar’s attacks could prove fatal.

[Kuro Akuma]

Sensing the large reitsu mass behind him suddenly spread out and burst into a numerous array of attacks Kuro had no choice but abandon his attack. Swiftly using shunpou he vanished from in front of Beur appearing behind him his index finger pointed down at the torso of Beur as a small blue flame fired towards him. If it connected it would send intense mental pain into the mind of his opponent from there Kuro hoped that the attack from the arrancar would become his own demise. Once the kidou attack fired Kuro once again used shunpou appearing a good distance away from the carnage.

He knew he was fighting someone very similar to him in style, and if he used bankai it would more than likely be much easier to defeat the arrancar opponent. With the humans below it would more than likely be to much for them to handle his spiritual pressure was massive as it was adding his bankai to the equation would defeat his true purpose in being here which was to make sure the humans left here alive and safe. One thing was certain however he had to finish this fight and do it quickly the reitsu on the battlefield had gotten more harsh. He could only hope that they were lucky enough to not have seen an arrancars ressurecion form otherwise things would get very difficult for the bunch.

[Claira Raven Heart]

A female would be seen sitting on top of a building, six building's away, near the sniping arrancar. Her presences is unknown to those that are fighting and to those that would see her and feel her aura would think she is a meer human just watching. Her eyes were watching the battle rage on between the Vizard and the Arrancar. She began to calculate the distance from her to the person that likes to brag and go on about how great of a shot he has. Claira would begin to talk lightly to herself."This person is true to his word, but, there is the disadvantage he has, once he locks on it seems that he can only use his weapon at one target at a time, hm....how do you defeat an enemy that always knows where your at, unless you have one person that does a sneak attack from behind...eh, here's nothing since the one with the better looking weapons seems to be somewhat more friendly then that ugly.....thing. My line of sight is clear from this advantage, I can make the shot from here and be able to relocate if needed, but since the Vizard is here, I'll probably won't need to....oh well, here's nothing...zbor...Raven...."

A bow would form up in her left hand as she would pull back the strings and as fast as the bow appeared, so did an arrow, an arrow that was blue. Her eyes stayed on the Arrancar. Her right index and middle finger would let go of the string as the arrow would sprout out 8" wings on either side of it as it raced towards the frozen arracar. She'd play it safe and make sure she'd disappear from her location incase the person she is attacking decides to lock onto her, a Quincy who is alot weakier then those two. But she showed alot of gutts to stand up and show some type of might against the arrancar, even if he was way stronger then her.

She'd run across the rooftop's, jumping to different building's rooves that were close by to her and to the battle that she decided to join in. But hopefully, she'll be able to get an attack in on the ugly one with the Eagle's Wrath. But that would mean that the Vizard would have to keep that guy still until the attack is ready and fired. But since it takes so long, she would have to relie on her much weakier attacks. She stopped to see where she was and she was four building's to the left of the arrancar, and one building back. She was somewhat diangled to him, so her one attack was to be given a shot at anytime now. She pulled back the string again, whispereing to herself,"der Banshee Flüstern ...hit him...." The odd looking arrow was see through, but had a white aura. When she fired, there was no sound made from it, not even air being cut from the arrow's point. This arrow would be aimed at the arrancar's body where if he was able to avoid, it miss hitting a building further away not really making a big difference, but if it did hit. The arrow would pierce his ribs somewhat towards the back, out of arm's reach , with no pain and begin to emitt off a loud screeching sound as if a female was screaming at the top of her longs. der Banshee Flüstern radious would be a 15 foot diameter around the arrow causing the arrancar and whoever else in range of the Screeching to be disoriented for 2 turns and all stat's cut down by 10.

[Redwinters]

Once Kuro had shunpo’d behind Beur he’d find that by then his original Kido had dissipated on him and taking no chances the arrancar immediately ignited before turning to ash once more; the ash traveled in an upward direction as the homing shots flew past him, still locked on to the vizard. Unfortunately for Kuro and the quincy, his next kido and her first arrow would miss their target. Even worst than that after he shunpo’d away he would find that the barrage of homing shots were following him expertly, putting him in a terrible position to maneuver as the shots seemed to be coming from every angle due to how many of them there were.

Meanwhile the trail of ash ignited once more on a different skyscraper, causing Beur to reappear in its flames. His eye trailed Kuro and he balanced his gun once more towards him. “Enough fooling around, I’m ending this in an instant, Kuro Akuma.” He announced as he pulled the trigger once more, firing another homing shot. He then continued to fire, at least four more times creating five more total homing shots. This would add to the fifteen already tracing the Vizard, making it an insane amount of attacks to keep track of. “Even you have a limit to your concentration…come now, use your bankai on me. It’s the only way you’ll win.” The arrancar played with his telepathy, as if he knew what Kuro was thinking. “What, you actually give a crap about those people down there? They hate you, Akuma. You’ve brought them pain and suffering. The very army on earth’s doorstep got here from aid that you had given them in the past. Don’t let them fool you into seeing things their way…with your bankai you could kill me. So some of the humans would die below…so what? What are their lives even worth to a bastard like you? So you might kill some shinigami...it's their fault you became what you are. I thought you were the pragmatic business man…not one of those reckless “heroes” down below.”

Beur laughed out confidently, keeping the sights of his gun on Kuro, occasionally firing a round off to try and get him to screw up on avoiding all of these bullets that were following him like crazy. The long white hair of the hollow seemed to blow wildly in the wind that circulated around them this high up. At this point Kuro would find it near impossible to avoid all the incoming attacks in his current state. With his attention so fixated on the elder, however, Beur never even felt the presence of the quincy so close to their battle. It would come as a surprise as an arrow imbedding itself into the bone like protrusions exiting his body. Where the arrow hit him had no nerves to feel pain, but the arrancar did take notice of the attack. Just as he attempted to react to it he would feel a disruption as a screaming effect emitted around him. The effect of the arrow would even be noticed by Kuro, as suddenly all of the homing shots that were on him went haywire, causing several of them to fly off in random directions or even into each other. Suddenly ten of the shots had hit random buildings or flew off into ineffective locations. The other ten, just seemed to circulate around Kuro in a spherical pattern, unable to register how to hit him even though they were right next to him. “What is this…? I have no data on Kuro having this kind of attack...” He called out in gritted teeth. Not taking any chances he faded to ash once more to make them lose track of him. Reappearing inside one of the buildings that they had been fighting on, he tried to find the source of the noise and remove it. Meanwhile, this would buy time for Kuro to recover.

[Kuro Akuma]

Kuro had been flying through the air at top speed as he attempted to avoid the barrage of attacks Beur had shot at him. With each twist and turn he narrowly was able to dodge the beams,Damn hollow really wants me to use my bankai. The elder said to himself as he realized he might not be able to keep up such intensity. It was then that the homing attacks began to go haywire firing off in many different ways. A few detonating and few still following the vaizard as they seemingly tried regrouping from the disruption. Quickly Kuro turned and fired a few precise shots of his own into the mass causing the explosions in the center and front of the remaining attacks the results canceling out the others. A screeching news echoed throughout the area now lifting his left hand Kuro began charging a cero instantly. Sensing a smaller spiritual pressure Kuro looked down to see an quincy running along the rooftops. He had been saved by the human, what a strange turn in events had seemingly happened here. With that being the case he knew Beur would target the lesser opponent now and for that Kuro knew he had to end this now. Take cover!! Kuro yelled to the quincy before using shunpou appearing above the building the source of horrid sound. Firing the cero down into the rooftop of the building it would seemingly evaporate as the cero touched it so would the next floor, glass fell down to the street below due to the cero. Once the attack team through the building.and hit the bottom floor an mass explosion went completely erridicating the building. The elder watched from above hoping he had finished the hollow but still prepared none the less maybe his bankai wouldn't be needed after all thanks to the help of the brave quincy.

[Claira Raven Heart]

Claira would watch everything that was going on. From the homing attack's going haywire and out of control to the Vizard floating on top of the building she was next to. She then realized, that ugly thing was inside the building. She'd take her bow and start to run, gathering reiatsu for this attack. The quincy went from roof top to roof top to try and get a higher advantage. When the Cero was fired, her attack was ready and the bow aimed in the same diraction.She'd begin to talk to herself again as if talking to her bow ever so gently until the end of the conversation."Aquila, make your pressence known, let your aim be true and your attack be swift...Aquilae Irae!"

When the cero came crashing down on the building the Hollow was in, her arrow blasted off towards the same location. Halfway to the building, the highly condensed arrow would explode and 40 arrows would be seen going through the building, destroying everything in the way, and the hollow was in for a rude surprise with the Cero coming down on him and Claira's Aquilae Irae attack from a Diangle. She was banking the hope that both attack's hitting him. When the Cero finally went through half the building, she'd duck and find cover from the pending explosion she was waiting for to happen. She'd mask her reiatsu with the reiatsu that was down below, the battle that ever so waged on between Shinigami and Hollow's. With human's joining in the fight, it be a close battle.

[Redwinters]

Beur realized his mistake when he entered the building; that infernal noise had traveled with him. Angrily, he clenched the arrow and ripped it from his side, smashing it to bits to cancel its effect. He recognized the attack, mouthing “quincy…” Before his attention returned to the rooftop, where he felt Kuro’s reiatsu gathering above him. Beur’s eyes widened as he realized he had trapped himself in an enclosed space. Desperately he tried to move out from the building before Kuro fired his attack, but to know avail.

Outside, Kuro would launch his cero, destroying floor after floor of the building with Claira’s arrows following behind and bombarding anything that would have withstood the attack. In mere moments the building was eradicated, not in an explosion but literally the building just collapsed into dust and debris. Soon the entire street was filled the destruction caused by the attack and smoke filled up the entire area. Even Claira would fine it difficult to breathe despite being so high up, that was how much smoke was generated from the devastated building. As the smoke bellowed outward, it looked as if the fight had finished, though it was difficult to tell with all the reiatsu being used in the battle below. Kuro might even start to believe that the fight was over.

Then, through the smoke, the barrel of the rifle flew through it and pressed itself against the chest of the Vizard. With not even a seconds warning, a full charged cero blast exited the barrel point blank into the Vizards chest. The entry wound would be small, but the exit wound from his back would be massive. For any lesser man it would have been a fatal injury. For Kuro, it would be severe but his strength would allow him to survive the attack. Remaining there, the smoke formed around the rifle seemed to condense and form into the shape of the arrancar, whose body looked ravaged. Puncture holes from the quincy’s arrows were seen all across his body and char marks from the cero caked his skin. The man had used his ash-like form to travel through the smoke undetected, but he had not managed to avoid the damage of their attacks. He was heavily injured, critically even, but the odds of Kuro avoiding the attack were slim.

“You…bastard!” The man growled out as his regular eye, now blood shot, glared at the vizard, “I’m sending you to hell, Kuro, That’s where you belong. It’s what I’m supposed to do, what I NEED to do!” The arrancar admitted through clenched teeth. As The two would be so close to each other, Kuro would notice another injury the arrancar received…his “special” eye was cracked, reiatsu was actually seeping from its wound.

Then, something happened. It was brief, far too fast for the quincy to notice. For Kuro’s refined reflex’s and eyes though he would see something…something about the arrancar. With his face damaged the reiatsu around him seemed to fluctuate, break apart. It was like…the reiatsu you had been feeling this whole time was an illusion, and illusion that had drowned out the actual “flavor” of reiatsu this man had. What Kuro would see, for that brief second, was that illusion disappearing and revealing the arrancar in a black robe with a white mask covering his entire face except for the part where his “eye” had been, which was cracked opened and exposed an ordinary, human looking, face underneath it. But in the blink of an eye, the person Kuro had seen would return to looking like an Arrancar…an arrancar beat to shit and on deaths door. “I’ll kill you…I have to kill you!” He commanded as he charged another blast right next to the man, preparing to fire again. By now his reiatsu did not even feel like a hollows anymore…nor did it feel like a humans either. His reiatsu was…far more sinister than either. "I won't go back alone..."

[Kuro Akuma]

After the attack exited his chest Kuro stood there for such a severe attack most would expect the recipient to experience some sort of massive pain from the attack. Beur would only hear a sinister chuckle as his own spiritual would begin to fluctuate. The cold burnt eyes of the elder coldly staring unto the arrancar.Blood began to pour from the wound he had just received put pain was nowhere in the picture. Beur had received a lot of damage from both his and the quincys lsat attack but where the arrancar went wrong was closing the distance between the two.

Kuro grabbed the extended arm of Beur pushing the arrancars zanpaktou into his wound. He himself then quickly thrusted his zanpaktou into the chest of the arrancar his finger on the trigger of his weapon, Gentai.. The lone vaizard would say to the arrancar as his strongest shikai attack would erupt from his blade at point blank range if successful there was no doubt that the hollow would be eradicated the attack would also put Kuro in a bad situation if not.
