"Tricera!!!!" The Thunderous Roar filled The desert as Cross jumped from a spire. His White,red and black robes Fluttered as he fell in the air. His Boots silently hit the sand as a small crater is formed where he landed. His expression was not the normal smile he always carried. His tone was more strict, his eyes piercing everything he looked at. The horn that was cut in half from the revenger fight still rose from his head. His 1 tattoo went horizontally across his face. Under his eyes and over his nose. His red hair was shorter than it was originally, now barely covering his eyes.

Cross was pissed at the very start of the day. He's been looking to scold the 3rd Espada for not helping defend Los noches. Looking over the desert, Cross took one step, before Blasting himself across the desert. No need for even using Sonido, cross could Move across the desert with ease. His blade dragged across the ground, Looking at every spire. "I know your lizard ass is out here! I command you to appear!"

Cross's reiatsu flared. His anger rose with his reiatsu as the worms started to branch off. Acid dripped from their mouths as the 8 worms spun around with Cross.

In the furthest expanses of Hueco Mundo, an enormous river of blood flood down a sandy slope. Atop the large sand dune a single figure stood, the figure appeared to be an immense lizard, around it the earth itself was moving as an enormous blast of reiatsu emanated from its position. In the midst of the blast a vicious laughter could be heard as fragments of earth and rock flew out in all directions. On this day, Veloz Heulga learnt the meaning of true pride and obtained his Segunda Etapa, and unknown too him, on this day he would die as well. Suddenly a roar of anger reached the ears of Veloz, the winds carrying the cry of "Tricera!" across the forsaken desert.

As the enraged roar reached him Veloz already knew what it would be about, in the middle of his obtainment of Segunda Etapa a source of reiryoku stronger than his own had shown itself near Las Noches. Veloz's pride would not allow him to forsake his quest for power in order to save those too weak to fend for themselves, and why should he? The great new Primera was present after all. With a thunderous crack, Veloz vanished from his spot, in his place several large fragments of dense rock fell to the ground. By now Veloz had also heard the Primera's command, 'Tch, bastard reaches the top and think he can order me around just like that huh?' Veloz thought to himself, his form now returning to that of his Ressurrecion.

About to reach his sense's out Veloz stopped himself, why? Because by now Cross was lighting his position up like a beacon, his anger tainted reiatsu could easily be felt by Veloz as he neared Cross at similar a movement speed. Knowing what this meeting was bound to result in, Veloz had already begun preparations, already both his fist's were giving off the tell-tale signs of seismic movement. As Veloz neared Cross the ground throughout Hueco Mundo would begin reacting to the sonic vibrations Veloz was giving off.

Cross finally found the reiatsu he was looking for, and it was coming straight for him. Gritting his teeth, he lowered his body, Dragging his fists against the sand as they started to glow a bright green. Cross was faster than Veloz, But Veloz could keep up with Cross to an extent. Looking over the sand dunes, he smelled the air as he turned to the right, Still dragging his fists against the sand. Cross was going to make Veloz pay for abandoning Los Noches, abandoning everything he had. This is what pushed Cross to End Veloz on this day. He was fed up at this point.

Finally seeing his figure in the horizon of the Desert, Cross's face slowly changed. Reiatsu slowly covered his lower face, solidifying and forming a face guard as Cross got closer and closer to Veloz. Cross always saw Veloz as a rival. Taking the 3rd spot from him when he -Just- removed his mask. This is something that Cross would not settle for. This was one of two things that Cross had on him. if it was up to him back then, Cross would of killed Veloz when they were alone.

"You think you can just ignore things and let them pass... You will not walk away from this." Cross thought in his mind. His overall personality has changed since this rise to power. He loves fighting, even if it is just a weak hollow. His back Arched as he got closer to Veloz, now that he was in sight, Cross snapped his fingers, Making four worms burrow into the sands, Pumping reiatsu into them so they could grow. The other 4 still remained near the side of Cross. Again lowering his body, He ran towards Veloz with everything he got, making sand burst from behidn him as he launched himself the last few feet.

"You're done from this day!" He said, Jumping into the air, spinning his body to bring a kick to the back of the neck of veloz, attempting to crush his number. Then the 4 worms that burrowed under groudn came from all directions, Undearneath Veloz, to the left, right, and above. Trying to attach their jaws onto his body.

A Fated Fight, Rivals From the Beginning.

It was an odd sight, even for the dark world of Heuco Mundo. Two Hollow... no Arrancar were rushing each other at incredible speeds. The first, was the Trecera Espada, Veloz Huelga... in his Hierro armored Lizard-like form, seismic quakes emanated from him, causing the sands for miles to react and tremble. The second Arrancar, the new Primera Espada Cross looked enraged, multiple reiatsu worms cycling around him before four smaller ones dove into the dirt.


"PRIMERA!" Veloz' snarling voiced blasted forth, the force of his voice alone shook the sands as they began to tremble more and more. Veloz saw Cross take a lower stance as they neared before leaping into the air, Veloz watched as he neared the spinning form of Cross, noting the openings between the four worms around him. The moment the two clashed Veloz's left palm rose up, blocking the strike aimed for the number on his neck, from his palm massive tremors would begin to rock through Cross's leg, splintering and breaking the bone, if not causing worse. As Veloz blocked the kick, his left hand wrapped around the breaking leg and using Cross's momentum against him threw him to the ground as four reiatsu worms of large size erupted around the two.

"Is this it Primera!" Veloz snarled as the worms lunged to attack him. Veloz simply smiled as Cross's body would impact with the ground throwing dirt up, still showing no worry of the ever closing worms, Veloz balled his right hand, which was still giving off seismic waves. With a snarl Veloz threw a massive right straight aimed for Cross's stomach, the resulting seismic waves, whether the punch missed or not would interrupt the worms just long enough for Veloz to weave out of the way, appearing to dance as he used Gemelos sonido, leaving various after images of himself for the worms to attack.

Veloz would appear but not, 50 feet from Cross, his hand firmly on the ground, wave after wave of reiatsu being pulsed into it(setup for future tech[s]). After pulsing enough reiatsu into the ground Veloz would stand, the sealed form of his blades in his reptilian hands, around the blades fragments of earth and various minerals were gathering towards them, quickly forming a larger set of thirty-six inch blades capable of much more damaging strikes. "Come Primera, show me the power that you lack!" Veloz would challenge as a chilled laugh erupted from his lips.

The pain, the sounds. Everything that Cross felt in his leg was nothing compared to what happened just a few days ago. Being thrown to the ground snapped the socket in place that was moved from the tremor fist. Standing up, Cross placed equal weight on both legs, ignoring the pain. His adrenaline was pumping while he pulled out his blade, barely from the sheath, stopping the other Tremor fist on the flat side of his blade. Grinning, Cross sent the remaining Spinning worms to wrap around the arm and leg of Veloz, hoping for them to connect. Even if they failed or succeeded, Cross would send multiple kicks to the gut and lower body of Veloz.

After breaking the contact with his blade and fist, Cross would Sonido back 10 feet. Pressing his blade against his skin.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.Cross also gains another limb, that of a tail.this tail is limited in motion, only able to swing from side to side, and only has a reach of about five feet.

"You are underestimating me too soon." The worms that froze moved under ground once again. Growing in size more. Pulling out his blade, Cross added one of the worms spinning aroudn onto the blade. It dripped with acid and moved around constatnly. Holdign his blade to his side, He sonido'd infront of Veloz, bringing multiple strikes across his chest and lower body.

Let the Hunt Begin...

As Veloz listened to the bone in Cross's leg splinter and break, the tremor fist held within his balled right fist was blocked... almost too easily by Cross's blade. Veloz smirked as the Primera stood on his broken leg, ignoring the pain. Veloz could already feel that this battle would be one to push him further than ever. Veloz' smirk continued to grow as the four worms around Cross shot out at him, aimed to ensnare Veloz' arms and legs if possible. As the worms neared, Veloz appeared to dance forward, in five steps Veloz was beyond the four worms, which had attempted to ensnare the four after images left behind by Veloz.

Though the Gemelos sonido allowed Veloz to easily slip passed the worms, he had only used it for just that. Due to this as Veloz' last step occurred he felt the first of multiple kicks collide with his gut, each kick that landed pushed him back a few centimeters before Veloz had become fed up. Ready to catch the next kick he thought was coming, Veloz hadn't expected Cross to use sonido, backing away only ten feet. "So be it Primera!" Veloz snarled as he watched Cross press his blade against himself.

In the moments that Cross would become coated in scale-like hierro and gain a tail, Veloz would gather blue and gold reiatsu in his palms before crushing it together into a single layered Cero. "You are underestimating me too soon." The Primera spoke as the first four of his eight worms dug themselves back into the ground. Now Veloz watched for just a moment as a worm wrapped around Cross's blade, and liquid began to coat the blade before Cross vanished.

Now if it weren't for Veloz' skills within the use of Sonido, Cross may have been able to close in with Veloz only catching a glimpse of him. But this fight was of a different caliber than other fights amongst the Espada. Veloz' loosed a chilling laugh as Cross neared him striking out with his blade. Dodging the first strike, Veloz grinned as another followed, only to be dodged as well. Now Veloz was dodging the strikes while moving towards Cross, by the time a fifth strike fell Veloz was directly infront of Cross, a few small lacerations across the lower body.

"Oh my! It seems today's prey allowed me to get in close! Veloz taunted the Primera as he set the hand holding the cero less than an inch from the Primera's chest. "Let me know how this taste will yah?" Veloz taunted once again before releasing his specialized cero. "doble cero comprimido!" Veloz' silently called out as the Cero launched from his palm, while the outer layer of the Cero may fade against Cross's strong scales, the core would likely punch through with ease.

After launching the Cero, Veloz vanished with a light buzz, appearing fifteen feet to Cross's left, twin 36" long blades brandished. The two blades, already coated in hard earth and various metals, were now coating in Veloz' reiatsu before he vanished once again. Now Veloz' would appear less than a foot from Cross, before striking out four times in rapid succession, each strike aimed for a different vital in the upper body. The earth and reiatsu coated blades would prove a challenge even to the Primera's scale-like hierro.

Cross smirked as the last strike went against Veloz's skin. Seeping into his gash now were leech seeds, feedign off his reiatsu signature, then shooting a barely visible string to the worms in the ground, giving them reiatsu. As veloz held out his hand, showing the cero blast near Cross's chest, He just smirked as well. The cero was fired, Pushign Cross away with the blast. But as a result, the cero fed the worms, as they changed color to the cero blast. They were now larger than they have every been, and with the cero blast covering their bodies, they were like moving Cero beams.

Standing up, cross just had a burn mark on his chest that covered most of his upper body. HIs scale cero still protected his lower skin. Standing up, Cross rolled his shoulders as he felt earth and blade scrape across his body. Sparks flew as Veloz's Blades scrapped across his scales. Smirking Cross spun around, Makign his tail go for the lower body of veloz, Failed or succeeded, Cross would jump in the air, kicking reiatsu waves towards Veloz as he sonido'd bring his blade towards the middle of Veloz's body. "You really need to learn to control your cockiness." As he said that, One of teh cero worms started to make the and around them sink as it started to surface, attempting to engulf Veloz. How would Veloz get out of this? he -possibly- had Cross pushing down on him with his blade, with teh sinking environment.

As Veloz fired the doble cero comprimido, he noticed something wrong, the cero didn't hit Cross with the power it normally held. As the cero pushed Cross back, Veloz noted the tiniest glimpse of what appeared to be strings coming from the wounds cause by Cross's blade. Now Veloz noticed the Cero Worms immense growth and their color change. "Well isn't that thoughtful Primera, feeding your hideous worms with MY OWN reiatsu! Veloz called out as his earthen/reiatsu coated blades scraped against the hierro scales of Cross. As sparks flew from the impact Veloz didn't notice the new limb of Cross's coming in to strike. Taking the hit from the tail Veloz slide back, leaving ten foot long slide marks in the ground as Cross began to kick reitasu waves towards him.

Seeing the waves rip towards him Veloz dodged the first, only to block the second and third waves with a swift flick of his double pronged hierro coated tail. Through the clouds Veloz vaguely saw Cross charge in with sonido as he called out, "You really need to learn to control your cockiness." to which Veloz smirked back at, Cross's blade would find it wouldn't meet Veloz's flesh, rather it would meet the strong hierro arm guards that trailed up both of Veloz' arms. "But Primera what is cockiness but another form of PRIDE!?" Veloz challenged the Primera as the ground beneath him began to sink.

"You may have grown some in power Primera, but you were handed leadership! Why? Simple. because I was not there to take it for myself!" Veloz roared as he allowed Cross's blade to push him closer to the ground. With a mighty shove Veloz would free himself from Cross's pressure, and instead of rolling out of the way, leapt directly into the ground just beyond where the sinkhole was now forming, with a mutter of "Tunneling Claw". Vanishing beneath the ground Veloz was now in his and the cero worms domain as he swiftly 'swam' through the earth only to emit a massive reiatsu charged roar, which would reflect Cross's position. As the roar 'bounced' back, Veloz slammed his fists into the earth around him, a massive wave of earth and rock would begin to move first beneath the surface, before blasting through the surface revealing a massive ridge of rock speeding towards Cross. As the rockwave set forth, all that could be heard was the churning earth and Veloz' voice call out "Rockwave" before he himself emerged from the earth.

Cross Pressed his blade harder into Veloz's Arms as he dropped the smirk from his face. Hearing the words that he was just given the power made him tilt his head. "Given the power? Ha. If you could of taken it, why don't you have the 1 tattoo?" He said with a slight Growl. Veloz already pissed Cross off, there was no need to make it worse. He pressed harder into the skin, until Veloz Went from under him, getting out of the way and heading underground.

Slowly Pressing his boots to the groudn, the Cero worm that was coming under him Rose from the sand slowly, stopping half way as his body glew green, blue and gold. His mouth dripped with acid. Rolling his eyes, Cross jumped ontop of the worm, pressing his boots into the back of it, as his scale hierro glew the same color of the worm. Jumping down from the worm, it burrows back into the sand, with the other 4, as the 4 worms around Cross still spin rapidly. Looking to his right, he saw the Earth shift, coming towards him, Cross held out his palm, shooting 100 no charge balas. He then spun his blade in his palm, holding it reverse as the blade glowed a golden blue. "Do you really want to test me? Do you really wanna see why i was made Primera?! he slowly surged the reiatsu from his blade, stabbign it into the ground. Making the sand glow golden and blue, pushing reiatsu into the ground. It was like cutting into the said, but compressing the sand, making it harden around him. He then pulled the blade out of the ground, Still glowing Gold and blue as he pointed it to Veloz, laughing as he started to draw a box."Your end is coming soon enough."

As Veloz left the ground following the emerging Rockwave, Cross reacted with a massive grouping of Bala. Quickly the Rockwave attack was eaten away by impact after impact from the Bala until they were finally falling upon Veloz himself. Now Veloz was in a fight for survival, Bala exploding around him as he began to block any he just couldn't dodge. As the large number of Bala began to die down Veloz took multiple hits, five Bala had slipped beyond his guard to directly impact his chest.

Had Cross been any other opponent the Bala's would not be as damaging as they ended up, the hierro on and around Veloz's upper body was shattered and scorched. Not even an eye remained of the two half-head shoulder plating mounted upon Veloz's shoulders. His upper torso now missing bits of flesh, was also covered in moderate second degree burns. As Veloz recovered from the impact of the Bala, blood could be seen dripping along his arms, on and below his hierro armor.

Upon looking at Cross once again, Veloz noticed that his scale-hierro had taken on the coloration of the odd worms Cross kept company with. Not only this, now Cross's blade seemed to be glowing gold and blue before it was thrust into the sand. Veloz felt Cross begin to pour reiatsu into the blade, and in turn, into the sand itself before drawing the blade from the ground. Taking a few steps forward Veloz watched as Cross began to draw a box, claiming Veloz's end would come soon.

"Don't make me laugh Primera! MY END?! HA!" Veloz took off in a frenzy, dust and sand kicking up as he launched himself towards Cross. With a flicker and a buzz Veloz would seem to appear in five places around Cross, each different appearance appearing to be attacking in a different way. Once again Veloz was putting his Gemelos sonido too work, and while the after images left behind appeared to be beginning an attack they were infact beginning a second strike. In reality as Veloz had begun the Gemelos, he himself made two strikes from each angle that now had a 'speed clone'.

Veloz didn't know what the odd box Cross was drawing would do, as such Veloz figured an attempt to interrupt it was worthwhile. Immediately after the successive Gemelos, Veloz would appear above Cross, approximately 50ft behind, and 75ft above him. In Veloz' hand a crackling sphere of gold and blue reiatsu sat, formed in a brief moment. As the Gran Rey was formed Veloz noted the odd strings coming from the wounds made by Cross's blade once again. Feeling the strings draw upon trace amounts of reiatsu from the cero, Veloz began to add more of his own to it keeping up its base power. Finally Veloz decided it was time, and launched the cero. At first it took off like a golden blue bolt of lightning before it rapidly expanded and condensed as it neared Cross. "Gran Rey Cero.." Veloz' voice called out as he watched to see what would happen next.
