"This shinigami is interfering with our schedual."She commented smirking as she sondio from the attack quickly to behind her enemy"You need to be faster then that if you think you can lay a hand on me."She commented twisting around slashing downwards his back. She sondio at the last second reappearing infront of him. She put her hands togather as if holding a ball as a light blue small ball of energy flew at him as she fired her cero at him "Live shinigami...live and become stronger in the light."She commented "takam stay near veloz, I will heal you soon

Takami was watching the fight between Sato and Veloz when Colbolt was attacked by Minoru. 5 huge tornadoes shot toward Colbolt. Soon, they merged into one enormous tornado that could cause much damage if they hit. Takami's hand went to the hilt of his sword as he watched the attack drawing near to Colbolt. I might have to go help Colbolt-sama, even if it means my death. thought Takami. However, even as Takami was prepared to take the attack for her, Colbolt used Sonido, moving quickly away from Minoru's attack. Takami watched as she appeared behind Minoru, slashing downwards near his neck, before using Sonido again and appearing in front of Minoru, charging her Cero. Then, Colbolt spoke to Takami. "Takami, stay near Veloz. I will heal you soon." she said. Takami replied with "Yes, I will do that now.". Takami used Shunpo, moving over to the area where Veloz was fighting and then continued to watch the battle.

As my Sabēji-fū attack rushed towards the female espada she used sonido, vanishing from my view before I felt the cold bite of her blade traveling down my back. I made to move forward, lessening the depth of the wound, when she was suddenly in-front of me firing a cero. My immediate reaction was to pull my blade in-front of the blast as fast as I could, just managing to block most of the blast while the rest rushed by wounding my ribs. After the cero was fired I heard her say "Live shinigami...live and become stronger in the light."

Sliding back from the impact of the cero I dropped out of bankai, my body no longer able to withstand it for now. Now in shikai there wasn't much I could do, soon I wouldn't be able to even stand due to the amounts of energy I had used. The espada then order Takami to stay near Veloz, as I was building up reiatsu in my palm. Still in close range to the female I called out Bone of a straggling beast, spire, crimson crystal, disc of steel, when the wind shifts, and the emptiness ceases, let the clash of lances resonate through the relinquished castle. Hado number Sixty-Three, Raikouhou! A large wave of yellow energy then blasted from my palm in the female Espada's direction as I dropped to my knee's from the strain of over using the Hado, and my shikai/bankai techs.




Standing near Colbolt I was surprised when she vanished using sonido, dodging the large twister that the shinigami had released. I began laughing as it dawned that the attack was aimed for both her and me due to my proximity when it was unleashed. With a smirk I began charging a blue/gold cero(not his unique one) and blasted it towards the twister. The two attacks met with a massive force, the winds caused by the exploding attacks ripped around the whole area, cuts appeared in the ground around the blast radius. Damn... that might of seriously hurt if that had hit.. I called out hoping the shinigami had heard me. Colbolt then ordered Takami to stick near me and that she would heal him soon, as she had done this I watched as she cut the shinigami down the back before blasting a cero at him which he just managed to block. The shinigami then retaliated with a powerful hado before dropping to the ground. Seems your energy is spent shinigami! Want me to put you out of your misery!?! I roared out, slightly irritated that I now was stuck 'babysitting' our newest 'ally'

The female arrancar dodged another one of Minoru's attacks, using sonido. Mutsuhito could see that Takami was about to intervene, though he didn't, as though his new master wouldn't allow him to, or perhaps he simply lacked the gall to. Minoru, disobeyed Mutsuhito's orders, using kido when he shouldn't have. "No! I told you not to do that..." he murmured to himself. Noticing his ally had expended all his spiritual energy, Mutsuhito tried to help, using one of his own techniques. First though, he saw that his attack had been deflected, by the other arrancar. "Mikata Kaikaku!" Mutsuhito commanded, holding up his zanpakuto with his left hand. A hint of white light bathed over Minoru's body, sealing all its lighter wounds. With his right, Mutsuhito points his finger toward the male arrancar. "Hado number four... BYAKURAI!"

[ooc: I know I'm technically break w/e our posting order is, but I figure I might as well have Veloz react to Sato's Hado before anyone else posts.]



I waited patiently along side our new shinigami 'ally' as the healer shinigami healed his friends lighter wounds, although against Colbolt it wouldn't help him much especially if she got in close yet again. Then the healer called out a spell, Hado #4 Byakurai, as he pointed a finger towards me. A white/blue burst of 'lightning' sped from his finger towards me, I smirked as it neared, not because of the attack itself but because the fool was involving me in the battle once again. Ahahahaha! Sorry Colbolt I can't sit back and babysit your new follower now that this fool got me back in the fight! As I had spoke those words I burst forward using sonido, my blades held in a X infront of me as the hado met them head on sending sparks around my sides before the spell expended its energy.

Increasing the speed of my sonido I launched into a faster Gemelos Sonido around the shinigami who had fired the hado spell, all the while whispering, What yah gunna do now shinigami... you just brought the more dangerous fighter back into the fight. Due to the speed I had been moving at to form the 5 speed clone Gemelos Sonido the shinigami would have an extremely hard time pinpointing my voice, or he would until he would feel a crushing rise in reiatsu above him where I appeared in a buzz. I was unleashing a massive amount of reiatsu although it was only a fraction of my full potential, once the shinigami would find where I was he would see me standing with a golden blue cero inbetween my palms(didn't feel like explainin the process of his cero again xD) The cero would expand until it touched both palms before I would release it, the blast would fire straight down and even if it missed the internal portion would cause a massive explosion larger than that of a normal cero. If caught in the explosion the shinigami would be thrown into the air as he suffered slight internal concussive damage as well as burns from the explosion.

[note: the cero isn't fired directly at Sato.. just close to him, so theres time for Minoru or Colbolt to interfere somehow xP]

"Takami...Dont interfer and just watch and observe"Said Colbolt to her new toy as she slashed down at the attack as her blade allow the attack to go around her, but still sent her flying in her air. her small wings flapped stopping herself "interesting but cowardly move?'she commented sondio down to him as she raised a leg and twisted sending a kick for his head twisting around slashing up with her blade. "Give it up shinigami."She commented to him "you hae lost this battle."She commented sondio one more time over to taka's side outstretching her hand to him with her palm facing downwards as she watched minoru "Forgive us but we must end this for the sake of time."She whispered sounding censar about it "This wasn't suppost to happen this way."She commented

After being healed lightly by Sato once again I watched as the female Espada slashed through my attack causing it to separate around her though the winds still send her air-born. She then vanished using sonido, I prepared for an attack when she appeared launching a kick aimed for my head. Ducking the kick I didn't notice as she slashed upwards with her blade, cutting along the wounds I had suffered from the other Espada's diamond attack, causing a sharp rise of pain in the area.

She then vanished again using sonido before reappearing at Takami's side, meanwhile I couldn't see the male espada Veloz. I then heard the female say something in a whisper that I had barely caught, it seemed she was sorry about something.. Odd... I thought too myself before I felt a large surge in reiatsu above. After feeling the surge I looked over to Sato who appeared to be surrounded by 5 odd clones of the male espada, then I looked up and saw the real espada, a gold/blue cero inbetween his palms.

Beginning to panic slightly I began forcing as much reiatsu into my blades as I could before shunpoing directly below the espada as he launched his cero towards no one in particular. DAMNIT! I yelled out, as I did so I had been thinking 'I don't know if I'll be able to counter this well enough this time..'

Forcing the thoughts out of my mind I looked up to the oncoming cero as I lifted my blades infront of me before slashing upwards as strong as I could while calling out WINDSCAR!!! The last ditch attack blasted from my blades aiming for the cero. After the attack had launched I dropped forward to my hands and knee's, my energy spent, I dropped out of shikai and now only held one blade for anykind of defense if my attack failed to hold back the cero. Shit... Was all I thought as the two powerful attacks collided, the blades of wind holding the cero back for a brief moment as the cero lessened in power before blasting through the wind blades and towards me.

These arrancar just don't stop. Mutsuhito tried not to acknowledge his team mate's battle, worrying much more about his own life, knowing how much stronger his opponent is. He only let out a single warning, "Don't get too hurt again, I can only heal you like that once in a while." Mutsuhito then turned to face his opponent, not really acknowledging the words the arracnar had that had escaped his mouth just a moment ago. It didn't really matter what the arrancar said, because he just shot another cero. Mutsuhito, wasn't a quick thinker, but he had instinct, and that was good enough. Automatically, he lifted his finger. He was going to do a hado, it didn't matter what kind. He also didn't use an incantation, not enough time. The words simply slipped out of his mouth. "Hado number 4, byakurai!" He exclaimed, as a flash of lightning escaped through his fingertip, about to meet the arrancar's cero halfway.

Takami stood by to watch the fight just as he had been commanded to. The fight was quite interesting. Both Minoru and Sato were working quite hard to win. Presently, the fight got even better as both Veloz and Colbolt released their Cero toward the enemy. Takami watched as Minoru used his Windscar attack to try and stop the Cero from Veloz. When that failed, Sato aimed a Byakurai at the Cero. Hmph. Stupid Shinigami! That weak Kido is never going to stop a Cero from an Espada!! thought Takami as he watched the battle unfold before him. Now, Colbolt tried to kick Minoru before she used Sonido to come to Takami's side before stretching her hand, palm down, towards him. What is she planning to do? thought Takami as he looked at Colbolt's hand.

After launching the Cero I watched as one shinigami tried to use that blasted wind-blade attack of his trying to counter my Cero. As the attacks collided it seemed he might just hold back my Cero, that was when the Cero continued through the wind-blades, barely loosing any of its power. I smirked too myself knowing the Cero would end up impacting the ground and possibly hitting both shinigami. Then the healer shinigami seemed to react to my Cero, pointing his finger towards it as a blast of white lightning was shot towards my attack.

Ahahaha you think that puny spell of yours will work! The Byakurai collided with the Cero for a single moment before it had completely used its energy, not even affecting the Cero's movement. Ahahahaha what are you gunna do now Shinigami! your attacks failed miserably! It was true... the only thing they could possibly attempt to do now is dodge the incoming Cero, and even then they would most likely be caught in the explosion of energy caused once the Cero impacts with the ground. The explosion would cause 2nd and 1st degree burns and possibly fractured/broken bones if they were sent flying into something solid.

Using Sonido I was near Colbolt's side once again as she stretched out her hand, palm down towards her new subordinate. Awe don't tell me you plan to leave so soon Colbolt? I thought we were just starting to have fun with these Shinigami.. My voice was dripping with the want to continue the fight, I had become the predator within by now and wanted to finish my prey.







Now only holding my sealed Zanpakuto, I watched in despair as both my own attack and Sato's attempted Byakurai were shrugged of by the Cero that the male Espada had launched. He laughed down to us knowing our attacks had failed to hold his own, but now what could we do but dodge.. I knew in my current condition my only hope of dodging the Cero in anyway was to push myself even further and use Shunko one final time.

Pushing myself off the ground I looked to Sato who had said he wouldn't be able to heal me again so soon, my answer was, If that Cero hits use it won't matter anyways Sato-kun... we have to try to dodge it.. Meanwhile the Cero was closing in, it was a mere 10 meters above us now.. to close to dodge the impending explosion that would be cause when it collided with the ground. Damnit! Was all that crossed my mind before I shouted in a hoarse voice, SHUNKO! My body erupted into a white glow as the Shunko enveloped me, the energy crackling around my body in an unstable form. Immeditately I could feel the pressure using Shunko again was putting on me, with a burst of speed I grabbed Sato by the arm and dragged him behind me saying, Sorry.. but this is the only way we have a chance of getting out without severe injury.. As I spoke those words the Cero collided with the ground just 5 meters behind us.

The explosion was much larger than I had expected, while we were out of immense danger, the tail end of the blast had hit me, and with me Sato. Loosing my grip on his arm I was sent into the air, my body twisting and turning uncontrollably as I was rocketed into the tree line. I had lost sight of Sato as soon as I entered the tree line, then I had lost my bearing as I smashed through tree after tree, blood launching from my opened mouth every collision.

Finally I had hit an extremely large tree, forming a crater in the trunk of it, my limp bloody body fell to the ground. As soon as I hit the ground the pain shot through me.. I let out a howl of pain as I coughed up blood.. I could tell I had broken ribs, possibly a broken arm, and definately had fractured other bones. I tried to lift myself but found I lacked the energy to do so, the use of Shunko + the explosion had pushed me further beyond my limit than I already had been.

OoC: Sato... I know normally moving another's character normally is frowned upon... but I decided Minoru should save your ass... I had planned for the cero to impact this post, and if Minoru hadn't grabbed you.. well you'd be hella lot more injured than you will be after being caught in the tail end of the explosion.
