Cross remained there standing as wind blue in his face. The sand picks up slightly as it presses against his lower body. Looking over the blood could, Cross quickly turned hsi head to look at the vast destruction that this arrancar has done to the fortress. "Someone must of either peed in his cave hole thing, or he's been planning to do this for years." He let out a brief sigh as he pierced his eyes at the mist, when it suddenly launched into the air.

"Ok, let's play big boy.." he quickly Drew his blade as he pierced his skin with the tip of his blade. Covering his entire body with tough scales like that of an alligator, Cross receives additional defensive benefits, making cutting him extremely difficult unless it was executed by someone that is higher level than him. An opponent of equal strength with mastery of its weapon can penetrate his scale armor. Those who are proficient, but not extremely skilled, will have to be at least one level higher than Cross. Those who have little to no weapon skill will need to be at least two levels higher. The effectiveness of this armor however can be affected by weapon attacks that are combined with elements and/or reiatsu.

Cross also gains another limb, that of a tail.This tail is limited in motion, only able to swing from side. Rotating his sword in his palm, Cross took a deep breath in, only to begin coughing from the blood mist. "What the hell is this?!" he muttered to himself. Holding his blade, he heard a loud gushing noise come from the blood. 3 whips came rushing towards him diagonally(i guess? if its wrong i will edit.) Sticking his blade in the ground, he pressed his feet on it, before pushing down and launching off of it. He slightly avoided the first whip, Spinnign his body to miss. Thet next whip came from the opposite direction. Cross Slide across teh sand as he ran to his left, then cut straight forwards to where he stood before. Jumping in the air, the Blood whip almost caught his midsection before he twisted his body once again, but the whip did cause a decent Gash on his left shin. Landing on the ground, Blood gushed from the leg when he pulled out his blade from the sand. "Como un mantis.." Six sharp spiked forelegs, much like of a praying Mantis, branch off from Cross’ body. These raptorial legs have a wide range of motion, so much so that they can reach and grab its target without moving his body. The four legs that protrude from his arms can reach 10 feet, while the two from his legs are a bit longer and can reach 15 feet.
Cross also receives mantis like vision, able to see with a range of 300 degrees. These legs increase the speed at which Cross can move across the sand, and beign able to turn on a dime in the weight of the sand.

Cross was caught off guard from the blood spears, With 3 spears piercing his right front leg, Cross winced at the pain. Pulling back in his legs, He began to add reiatsu to blade, to lengthen it slightly, as he began to rotate it with hsi wrist. Cutting atleast one hundred of the spears with his extended blade, Cross was getting confident, until his blade went back to its normal length. He continued to rotate his blade, but the length from before protected him from the shards that came off the spears when he cut into them. He was just adding more damage to himself with each and every cut.

He stopped, then used sonido to go to the left briefly, but felt something land by his feet, then exploded, causing shards to run up the left side of his body. Wincing at the Holes, Cross felt the two clones grab his arm, Be he quickly dislodged both shoulders, while at athe same time, throwing them to the rest of the Spear missles. Cross quickly fell on his back, putting his shoulders back in place as he rolled in the sand. Picking up his blade, He reversed the grip, allowing him for more fast and agile cuts. Cross's situation was even worse now, as the ten blood swords slowly circled around him. Standing ready, Cross twirled his blade, he pressed it in the sand as he kicked up his legs, avoiding the two blades that went after his lower body, Pressing his boots on the blades in the sand, he launched himself into the air dodging the ones that went for his armpits and his lower stomach. He suddenly felt a large pain in his back. Three swords has pierced his upper and middle back. Not all teh way through, but enough to be held there. Pulling his his arms and tucking in his head, he barely dodged the blade that came for his nose as it caught his horns, chopping one clean off his head. He heared a buzz of metal as he saw the spinning blade coming from his lower right. Turning his body in mid air, He made the ones on his back, make contact with the spinning blades, pulling them out and causing tremendous pain, but saving a limb. Landing on the ground. the slight gashes from the shards and blades healed from his high speed regen, but the major injuries remained.

Sighing Cross muttered; " All of this because someone peed in your cave? immature dude.." he was cut off from the yell, slowly he turned to his right, looking at the arrancar holding his blood blade and axe, charging at Cross. Cross ran towards teh arrancar, Sliding underneath his legs. Then popping up from the back, spinnign his legs as he brought down his heel to attempt a strike at the mans right shoulder.

Cross's Scale hierro protected his leg from being severed from the blast as it deflected it towards the Main fortress. It was still burned and bleeding, But it was still capable of being used. Standing up slowly, he rotated his blade in his palm, Holding it over his shoulder. He watched the blood tornado come about from the Revenger. "Of all things, I had to piss him off." eh said as he sighed. Rolling his eyes, He watched as bodies fell from the sky. Dodging them, he shook his head as he thought. "I am sorry brethren.. You will not be in vain."

Cross was not one for over thinking in a fight. He was one of those guys that were "in the moment". He took each step slowly, trying to figure out his opponent. He coughed again, trying to regain a calm breathing pattern. The mist still was affecting him, but he tried to remain calm and keep his pattern easily.

He tilted his head as he heard laughter from the Revenger. Cross didn't know this, But he was witnessing him transforming. Not an overall change, but just basic rises in power. taking a deep breath, Cross Held out his hand, Shooting a hundred bala from his palm, then he would jump in the air, kicking reiatsu waves one after another until 6 were shot, he would end this with Sonido towards the revenger attempting to Strike down the middle of his body in mid-air.

[[ OOC, Just asking, Is this set after I kill Veloz? If so, do you mind if i use Segunda Etapa eventually? If not, it's cool ;3 ]]

Cross Grunted when each of his attacks were just simple techniques that this arrancar could throw away to the side. "He's pushing me to release. This is not turning out so good." He thought in his head. Cross hasn't released much like the other Espada. Since he became Esapda he has released two or three times. Still not used to the power of his release. Now, since he has become Primera, he couldn't imagine what kind of power that could be released from his form.

This thought was pushed away as The Revenger Threw his axe towards his head. The speed from the Axe was Unbelievable! How can something that heavy be thrown with suck ease? Mid Sonido, Cross just laid back, But it did not dodge the axe completely as it cut the tip of his nose cleanly off. Blood ran down his lips and chin. The pain didn't bother Cross, It was the simple fact on how close he escaped the blade of the axe."This guy means business.." he muttered under his breath, as the blood mist still affects his breathing.

He struck down against the blood sword that the Revenger Held. Each strike Cross felt a little pain in his right hand. Blood dripped from his finger tips as he constantly swung his blade against the Bloodsword. His arm was clamped down as he tried everything in hsi power to move. He was at a disadvantage being so close. Then he felt a large pain enter his right shoulder. If it wasn't for his scale Hierro, the sword that entered his right shoulder would of went much much deeper. Cross thought he would be able to move, But he never saw the 4th and last blood sword coming at his ankle. Only the very tip stuck out of his ankle, with his scale hierro stopping most of the blade. But he couldn't move his leg.

He Flicked his blade with his wrist towards his left hand, gripping the handle. This wouldn't make a difference in the speed difference. Cross never even saw the revenger come close to him like he did. Each punch thrown from him Pushed him back as his foot dragged in the ground underneath him. He could hear bones breaking, Organs caving in. His upper body was wrecked. Just from the mist alone he was wheezing, now with his ribs broken and lungs damaged, breathing was a challenge in itself. He leaned forward, his upper body was massively damaged.

If that wasn't enough, his hips was blown, the joints going out of socket as the Revenger struck them. Cross tried to lean up, which he did but was shortly ended when The Revenger Threw the last few punches out to his abdomen, denting in his stomach. Cross sqeezed his left hand, as Soverias Expanded across his body, Making a shield appear infront of him. Cross was on his knees as these point. He could hear the last few remaining Strikes hit against the shield. Then everything went quiet. Until the shield was shattered with the axe, Cutting across his left cheek, Forming a large gash. Soverias went back inside Cross's arm, Forming the gauntlet. Using his last ounce of strength, Cross sonido'd to the left, Holding his blade out. "I don't do this often..Only when I know i have to..leech,Sanguijuela" There was a massive explosion of Green and red reiatsu. Blowing away the mist around Cross momentarily. The surge of power was massive as his spiritual pressure was stronger than the revengers. With both of these massive powers near each other, Weaker Arrancar would have a harder time moving around.

The dust cleared, the mist went back around Cross but, he had changed. He had became more serious. His body was covered in Green armor, that combined with his scale Hierro. He gained Death tentacles, 8 of them to be exact. They had the faces of past hollows he absorbed. Each Tentacle was snapping with their mouths. His reiatsu worms were back too, with 4 burrowing under ground and 4 spinning aroudn his body. The main difference was the fact that Cross's upper body was now longer dented. He stood straight up. His bones healed from the released. His tip of his nose was back, as well as most Gashed were closed. The only remained injuries were the 3 holes in his back from the blood swords.

Rolling his head, he slowly walked towards The Revenger, shaking off his right arm. "You come in here. Destroying my home, and you expect to walk away with out any challenge?" Cross held out both of his hands, forming a sphere infront of him. "Granda.."Granada requires very little charging time, able to be created almost instantaneously, similar to a Bala. However, unlike Bala, Granada is thrown and explodes in mid-air or upon contact. The explosion, which has a radius of 6 yards, can cause severe damage to those nearby including severed limbs and deep wounds. Those who are three ranks below Cross are at serious risk of severe injury and possibly even death due to loss of limbs and blood. Two ranks and below would be in critical condition, while one rank below would be severely injured due to heavy bruises and deep cut wounds. Those of equal rank receives normal damage (bruises, medium to shallow cuts, weakend flesh and bone), while those of higher rank (or tough physical defense) can escape with at worst with light bruises, as well as weakend muscles and bones. Once he threw 3 granda towards the revenger, Cross Sent his worms fromt he ground to expose themselves. Dripping with Acid, 2 goes from the upper body of Revenger while the other 2 go for his lower body. Cross's speed now was equal to the revenger. Snapping his fingers he said;"Armonizor.."Like the animal he resembles, Cross has the ability to cover his entire body with an altered reiatsu that renders him invisible by sight. As well, it hides his reiatsu from being detected even by the most keen sensors. However, movements creates a slight shimmer of light that could reveal his location to his opponent. While he can attack under the guise of his camouflage, it loses its effectiveness in doing so, making him visible and detectable quite easily by those higher than him in rank, while those of equal rank will have a hard time, but still be able to detect and see the faint mirage of his technique.

Cross moved across the sand slowly, Nearing the smoke from the explosion,By focusing a large amount of reiatsu in both his hands, Cross increases the movement speed of his arm and hands by sacrificing power in exchange for speed. Instead of pure impact, this technique relies on using angles, deflections, and momentum to land consecutive quick strikes that are incredibly difficult to avoid except by someone of a significant rank advantage. The speed gain that he receives increases exponentially each level that he attains. At 0-2, Cross's Speed goes up by +15, giving the illusion hat he is attacking with 8 limbs.

The downside to this ability is the lack of power in the attacks. It is more suited to wear down an opponent by the constant barrage of damage rather than delivering a knock out blow. As such, those who are of higher level than him or have high defense (in relation to Cross' current level) would be able to tolerate even a stream of successful blows that he lands. He sonido'd behind The revenger, Throwing 400 punches all over his body. 50 at his legs, 150 at his back, then he would sonido' around to the front, throwing 100 to his chest, and 50 to his shoudlers, and the last 50 to the face.
