Nishiki kept an eye on Shiro while she continued to clear more of the swarm, noticing Shiro's upper-hand in the fight. A smug smirk stretched onto Nishiki's face before she noticed Shiro being kicked away, along with his Shikai. Nishiki's eyes widened gradually as she saw the Arrancar charge up a Cero. Within a second, Nishiki had Shunpo'ed, reappearing in between Shiro and the Arrancar with her Emerald Scythe. Just as Shiro did before, Nishiki cut the Cero with her Sycthe in a cross motion after the Cero would of been fired. She mocked, twitching her right index finger in a 'No-no' type of action. This was to draw the Arrancar's attention more than anything.... She wasn't sure whether or not she would stand a chance against this Arrancar but dammit, she'd give it a shot if it meant her Captain would be alright!

Utsu watched as his cero was cut in two which made his eyes narrow, Utsu then prepared to attack Nishiki when she taunted him "You think that's a smart thing to do?" Shiro came in from behind Utsu and slashed down at him, hitting his left shoulder and slamming him into the ground however he only managed to deliver a light wound to him "Huh?" Utsu pointed his index finger on his right hand at Shiro at shot a cero at him which engulfed Shiro. However once the smoke cleared Shiro appeared to have iron scales all over his body which caused Utsu's eyes to widen as he then saw Shiro's left fist come down on him. Utsu quickly rolled out the way then stumbled to his feet, just barely regaining balanced before Shiro ran at him and slashed down with great force, this meant Utsu had to raise his Zanpakuto and try to block.

As the Hado's approached Zetsuo he spun in the air then aimed at both the Hado's with the palms of his hands and fired off two lime green cero's that collided with them and caused them to explode causing smoke to fill the sky. Zetsuo then shot out the smoke and appeared on a roof, then turned and fired a Cero at Rio before using Sonido to appear before Kaizo, Bala's charged around his fists as he then began punching rapidly at Kaizo sending Balas flying at him. Kaizo raised his arms infront of his face and crossed them as the balas hit him causing explosions to mount up as Zetsuo laughed

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio Shunpo'ed a little to the left, noticing the Arrancar leaving the smoke and appearing on a roof. Rio continued to observe him in a bid to find something she could exploit or give her some ideas on what may effect him most. The Arrancar then fired a Cero at her, in which she hurriedly fired another Hadō #31 Shakkaho, causing the Cero to explode before it got to her. Blocking her face, the force from the explosion pushed Rio back a little but soon settled before she instantly turned to Kaizo. Gritting her teeth slightly, Rio drew her Zanpakuto's. "Crystal, to discover, to shatter the mind of souls, HanaKan." Both blades released into Rio's Shikai form. Point her right index finger to Zetsuo, Rio charged up another Byakurai to full strength before firing it straight at the Arrancar.

Nero

He figured that Sui and Nishiki weren't fighting these guys for the first time. Otherwise, Sui wouldn't have such a great tip to give him at the beginning of the battle. He merely shrugged as she said that she can't heal, like he wanted to say "I don't mind that", but this time managed to refrain himself. "Sure seems endless, I'll give you that." He said, turning around to burst a Sokatsui directly into a Swarm that appeared behind him. "Do you mind? I'm trying to have a conversation here."

"So," he said as he targeted another Swarm with his Sokatsui, helping a far-away Shinigami with his adversary, "How do you and Nishiki know each other?"

Shoske smirked and nodded "If we make it out if here, I'll treat you to a beer"

The jester grabbed and pulled Rins blade towards his arm. Shoske had seconds to make his decision, unsure of what this balloon will do. However, in order to win, he would need both arms. Without a second thought, Shoske teleported to his other zanpakuto, which was patiently waiting at the spot the women had previously been at. As he appeared a distance away, he slashed at the back of his neck, aiming to cut off the balloon and his own ponytail.

When Nero asked how her and Nishiki knew each other, Sui blushed a bit as she rubbed the back of her head. "Well that's a long story, pretty much we met at this bar, there was a lot more to the story, yet i'll leave that to your imagination. I will say though that it is a little dirty." Sui said with a wink, as she continued to fire off the Sōren Sōkatsui at the swarm, eventually it was clear around her enough for her to sit and rest a bit. "Man I need to get out more." Sui mumbled as she watch niki and shiro fight in the distance. "Man only someone like her, would know how to fight with a monster of a man like that."

Rin

It was fascinating, how fast she was that she moved him to the place she wanted him to be, without Rin being able to do anything. As he watched Shoske shunpo away, saving his arm in the progress from Rin's own weapon - he also noted how the insignia on his Zanpakuto closed. His ability has worn out for the time being and this was the best time being. At least he made her bleed. Not a lot, but enough for a start.

Quickly inspecting the situation, Rin knew that he wouldn't be able to get close to Shoske in time to help him with the balloon. But there was something he could do, at least. Although it was far-fetched, it seemed that she popped her balloons either by clapping her hands or by dropping them directly onto someone. There was a chance he was wrong, but a hunch was better than nothing. Directing his body towards her, he pointed two fingers at her hands. "Bakudo number 1, Sai!" It was something that would intertwine her hands behind her back in a way that would restrain her from clapping. Considering her power, it would take her one to two seconds to break the spell, but those two seconds might make a difference between life and death.

Nero

These two girls certainly had answers that Nero never could have calculated as possible ones. "You keep surprising me." The last group of Swarm's that surrounded Nero faded away to nothing but ashes. It made him release a sigh of comfort as he approached Sui. "You'll have a chance after this battle is over," Nero smiled as he put his hand on her shoulder, emitting a silver glow that signaled him using his ability once again. "Here, something to help your wounds."

"In case we have more battling to do, you need to be in good shape," he smiled, but walked in front of her to have a better look at the fight that ensued below them. "And I can't have my abilities get rusty, of course."

"She's quite something if she can handle someone like him. I know I wouldn't be able to."

as Shoske got out of Rins blade, he attempted to cut the balloon, but she was already close to clapping when suddenly her hands moved away from each other, she managed to power through it, and clap, yet Shoske had managed to cut the balloon before then. Joker looked over at Rin and laughed, before pulling off her mas and then making it vanish. She also pulled down her hood revealing her Black hair, plus some of the bones all arrancars have, on her forehead. "All right. I'll play a little more seriously, to think you would cause me more trouble than a seated person Rin. Just what i expect from my little pet." Joker said doing another jig, before she sonidoed point blank range in front of Rin with her star shaped cero charging again. yet what they probably didn't see was her sonidoing to Shoske first and placing Flower balloons all around him. She then smiled and clapped her hands, if Shokse was quick enough he would be able to avoid the blistering hot water.

Shoske let out a sigh of relief as he cut through the balloon and his ponytail with no effects on him. But now wasn't the time to rest and indulge in the moment. He heard the jester say that she'll get more serious as she removed her hood and masked.He dropped his shikai, grabbing it by its chain and spinning it at an increasing pace. He began to move forward as she began to charge her cero in front of Rin. But after a couple of steps, Shoske was suddenly covered in boiling water. He let out a burst of reiatsu, pushing back the rest of the boiling water. Due to the sudden pain, Shoske had accidently released his spinning zanpakuto, sending it flying towards Rin and the jester. He used his telekinetic power of his zanpakuto to slightly alter its route to head towards Jester. He raised his hand, his other second zanpakuto flying towards him as he panted, trying to recollect himself. The boiling water that had stuck was still dripping down his body, forcing him to cope with the pain as his zanpakuto went spinning towards the jester. "Cmon, I just need one opening" He said, grinding his teeth together

Neil looked at the little man who called him loud mouth and to use more wind, he pounded his chest and nodded, as he opened his fan, and watched the other little man do some bakudo, Neil Then with all his force swung the fan down sending out a massive gust of win that had its own blunt wind force within it. "Well up to you little man, whatever trick you got, better use it now, or we are all screwed against this man. Least we got lucky, some other arrancars scum out there, that surpass this guy by an immense amount."

Zetsuo watched as Kaizo was caught by many of his Bala's however he then noticed Rio releasing her Shikai and when he turned she fired a hado 4 at him which he just batted away with the back of his left hand as if it was nothing. Zetsuo then aimed his left palm at Rio and began charging up another cero. Kaizo then emerged from the smoke with a fast Shunpo and appeared infront of Zetsu with his right arm held back as he then slammed his right palm into Zetsuo's solar plexus sending him flying and causing him to cough up blood as he flew through several buildings. As Zetsuo tried to get up he found his vision blurred and his body hardly responsive. Kaizo then looked to Rio and spoke "We have a few seconds to act, so bring out the best of what you got right now!" Kaizo then shunpoed high into the air above where Zetsuo was and began charging up Raikōhō as he spoke the incantation silently as he prepared to release the powerful lightning hado

Rin

He considered doing a little jig of his own, bowing down as she complimented him in a weird, twisted and dark way. But there was no time even for that as she appeared next to him, charging another cero in his face. Just like the first time he saw her. Although this time he was at least able to see her face. She looked better that he'd expected, although that realization didn't exactly help his situation. He was able to escape the first time around due to his Tsukiakari's special ability, this time - that wasn't the case. He was on his own.

But there was something - he still had a chance. Shoske's blade was flying towards Rin and Joker, and he felt his Zanpakuto's blade fully regenerated. Although that still didn't help his situation. "Bakudo number 8, Seki!" Rin generated an orb directly in front of his face. Not exactly hoping it would deflect the cero, not this strong of a cero and certainly not from this range. But it was a common trick used by magicians. Misdirection.

And Rin had some misdirection on his mind. Misdirection of misdirection. Since she probably saw the blade coming towards them, she'll realize he was just trying to keep her in one place long enough for it to strike. But that's where his second misdirection came into play. Both of his blades back in their place, Rin shot out one of the "wings" directly at her. Since she was aiming at him from point blank range, his blade had the same distance to cover. And since the cero was still bubbling in front of him, he figured she was still in front of him. And instantly, without knowing whether it impaled or just scraped her, Rin clenched his fist, once again disintegrating his blade into a handful of razor-like ones.

If she was impaled, they would cut her from inside out. If she was merely cut, at least his blades would have an opening to strike at.

As for the cero that shot off - well, the positive side was that due to the commotion of him shifting his blade - and body with it - and producing a Seki, his head wasn't blown off. Although the cero passed through the Seki barrier and engulfed the right side of his body, mainly the shoulder and a part of the neck.

He was sent through the air, flying for what seemed like an eternity before he managed to bring himself to a stop. Right side of his body was bleeding profusely, but at least he was still alive. For now.

Utsu watched as his cero was cut in two which made his eyes narrow, Utsu then prepared to attack Nishiki when she taunted him "" Shiro came in from behind Utsu and slashed down at him, hitting his left shoulder and slamming him into the ground however he only managed to deliver a light wound to him "Huh?" Utsu pointed his index finger on his right hand at Shiro at shot a cero at him which engulfed Shiro. However once the smoke cleared Shiro appeared to have iron scales all over his body which caused Utsu's eyes to widen as he then saw Shiro's left fist come down on him. Utsu quickly rolled out the way then stumbled to his feet, just barely regaining balanced before Shiro ran at him and slashed down with great force, this meant Utsu had to raise his Zanpakuto and try to block.

Nishiki Kalemoru

Nishiki grinned as she held her Scythe diagonally, preparing herself for Utsu's attack. "It may not be smartest, but it sure is the most fun thing to do~ I won't let you hurt my Captain so come on! Bring it on Big Boy~" Chuckling a little, Nishiki spotted Shiro appearing behind the Arrancar, causing her grin to stretch further. She straightened up a little as she watched Shiro deliver a strong hit which only gave the Arrancar a light wound. 'Boy, these Arrancar's sure are as strong as I expected. Cool~' Her grin dropped once she saw Utsu fire another Cero at Shiro. Gritting her teeth as her eyes sharpened, Nishiki took a step forward but stopped once the smoke cleared and revealed Shiro with Iron scales. Just as the Arrancar's eyes widened, Nishiki's did too. "Wow" She watched in amazement as Shiro continued to fight, forcing the Arrancar to draw his Zanpakuto. Grinning once more, Nishiki watched her Captain in action, amazed by his fighting spirit. This was all too good for Nishiki, other's may of been afraid by Shiro's power, but Nishiki found it incredible and loved witnessing it every time Shiro showed it.

Utsu stumbled back a bit more then began sliding as he found his balance however he was holding his own quite well against Shiro "Well looks like you have some tricks up your sleeves...I thought you Kenpachi's fought with brutality? where is that? your fangs have yet to reach me Kenpachi..." Shiro held his Zanpakuto against Utsu's and listened as he spoke "Why should I show you what I can do if you yourself wont show me everything you can do. Do you take me for an idiot? just because I am a Kenpachi and the Captain of Squad 11 does not mean you should underestimate me...I'm well aware that you aren't even using half your full power which is why I have lowered myself to your level so I can enjoy this fight..." After saying this Shiro grinned as the arrancars eyes widened slightly "But if you want to keep holding back...then do so...but I want to see what you are really capable of so...I guess I'll have to push you to your limits" At that moment Shiro's spiritual energy quite literally erupted out of him as the buildings around the area began tearing up as the Spiritual pressure he let out gave off a heavy feeling that carried the pure intention to kill. Utsu's eyes widened further as he was quickly over powered, his Zanpakuto falling lower as Shiro then cut down quickly, a large wound forming from Utsu's left shoulder to his left hip causing blood to shoot out of it, blood splattering onto shiro and the ground below, Shiro then slammed his left palm into utsu's face and gripped it tightly as he then threw him into a wall on his right, Shiro then raised his Zanpakuto up then slashed down as the Zanpakuto extended, growing longer and heavier as the force it carried grew greater and greater as it closed in on utsu. Shiro's Shikai then came down on Utsu and released a powerful shockwave as it did, Shiro then retracted his Shikai back to normal size or what was considered normal for Shiro. Shiro then turned to his left as he threw his Zanpakuto up and rested it on his right shoulder, Shiro looked at Utsu who was holding the stub where his left arm was "You think with your little boost you can still win? don't make me laugh!" Utsu then began to focus as his left arm then reformed completely causing "Good...if you only had one arm to fight with this wouldn't be interesting at all...that's a nice skill you have there..." Utsu looked down at his left arm as he clenched his left hand into a fist "It's called high speed regeneration...only few of the arrancars here can do this to level I can...only one can do it better." Shiro grinned then ran at Utsu and leaped up onto the roof, then slashed down at Utsu once again the two then began to slash at eachother repeatedly, clashing with each swing of their swords. Utsu was impressed by one thing and it was how Shiro wield his giant Zanpakuto so well and to use it with such precision using only one hand...it was quite impressive but nothing truly unusual

Whatever Rin was planning, was a tad confusing to her, did this man truly think such a weak Bakudo would stop a normal cero? Of course she spotted Shoske's blade coming at her, but she just smiled and grabbed it in id flight with her right hand, while still staring at Rin. Yet he seemed somewhat to calm, that's when she felt something cut the left side of her body before being cut all over the left side. It wasn't anything to worry about truly cuts minor cuts that would heal them self, her cero was what truly did more damage, it didn't kill the man, but if there was a state near death for anyone, then he was on the verge of it. She could tell he was pretty much done, so she gave him a smile and a wave then turned her attention to Shoske. She still had his blade in her grip, she grabbed it by the hilt and gazed at it before grinning rather sinister at Shoske, she sonidoed in front of him laughing greatly. "Quite the annoying little insect! I would put you in those squad eleven guys correct? As you saw, my toy is pretty much down for the count from my cero. how will you match up against my Gran Rey Cero?" The star shaped cero began charging over her eye again, however much bigger than any of the other ones she had fired off before. Yet she then tossed Shoske's zanpakuto over at Rin, then fired off the cero. "Choices~ Save your blade and let my toy die, or save him, but with great chance that zanpakuto will break. Which do you value more!!!" Joker said laughing at her Gran Rey Cero zoomed in for the targets.

Takeshi didn't reply to the other two, they didn't need to talk they just needed to work. Takeshi watched as Xura dodged the Hōrin rather easily, almost with no effort. As he got into a certain spot Neil shot his attack, and once it got a certain distance Takeshi slashed downwards sending air downwards faster than Neil's. Once it caught up with Neil's wind pushed forward from all directions and gathered with their own wind slamming into Xura causing a massive expllosion.....With Hōrin. Once the dust settled it revealed Xura burned but he was overall fine.

"Pissing me off," Xura said as he looked up at Takeshi, the one he wanted to kill the most.

He shot up at Takeshi grabbing his throat and squeezing, "Hadō 9-"

Before Xura said anymore Takeshi had activated Raitoningu• bādo creating birds made from lightning behind him in which they all struck Xura at the same time managing to paralyze him. Takeshi put his foot on Xura's chest and kicked off, managing to get out of his grasp. "A Shinigami Arrancar hybrid, Zero would love to take a good look at you." Takeshi shunpo'ed above Xura and kicked Xura's head hard, to the point his ankle almost snapped, but it sent Xura flying into the ground.

Once Xura came back he returned his Shikai to it's sealed state and put his Zanpakuto into it's sheath, "Resurrección!" A large amount of red spirit energy shot into the sky, covering Xura over all. "Let's see you stop a bomb! This technique will destroy a large portion of this place! Even my own guys will die!" Xura yelled laughing.

The amount of spirit energy pouring out of Xura was overwhelming, but Takeshi managed to stand blocking his eyes with his arms, "Loud mouth, Shrimp, get away from him. I'll stop the explosion, I'm the best one who can stand around him." Takeshi said before he shot down at Xura.

He stood in the spirit energy, it burning him and making him want to fall to his knees but he managed to stand. His eyes narrowed, barely able to see Xura's Resurrección, but he seemed surrounded by more bones....It was something indescribable, being a hybrid, but it didn't matter to Takeshi. Takeshi held his Zanpakuto horizontally while holding the butt of his sword, he narrowed his eyes, "Lightning step," Takeshi then shot forward with his Zanpakuto having enough cutting ability to cut Xura's head off interrupting the explosion....Though some still went off, but instead of it covering a large amount of the area it shot high into the air, Takeshi caught in the middle of it.

When it all died down Takeshi was on the ground coughing, spitting out blood. He pushed on his arms, slowly standing.....That was until Rujimaru shot down landing on Takeshi's back, it caused him to try and scream but nothing came out as he was being crushed with blood shooting out of his mouth. Rujimaru stepped off of Takeshi's back and kicked him sending him rolling, "Xura could never finish the fucking job, why do I have to clean up his messes!?" Rujimaru said angrily as he appeared in front of Takeshi stomping on on him rapidly, harder with each word he yelled, "Why do I have to do your fucking job! You had one you useless sack of shit! Now I have to kill this one for you!"

"Ugh," Rujimaru said as he picked Takeshi up by his neck gripping tightly, soon more of the stitch like wire shot out of his sleeve into Takeshi's body. The stitches stretched out as Rujimaru let go of his neck, Takeshi was now high in the air with the wires in his body. Suddenly one more shot out that seemed to go through his head. "Was it really that hard?" Rujimaru said as the stitches quickly pulled back into his sleeve.

Rujimaru shot off as Takeshi fell hard into the ground, seemingly dead as blood poured from his wounds.

Shoske just got over the pain of the boiling water as she took out Rin, with no time for him to move. In no time she appeared in front of Shoske and asking him a question, which he smirked to and answered "Yeah but don't put me in with all of those people you just fought. I'm different" The female arrancar began to charge a powerful cero of a whole new magnitude. But yet he still felt calm about it. If that hits me, I'll probably die. No, without a doubt I'll die Its power grew as she tossed his zanpakuto to Rin and threatened to kill Rin, giving him a choice. Shoske grinned, releasing and covering himself in golden reiatsu "I guess I'm just greedy, cause I choose both" He said as she fired off the cero and it approached them. Rin instantly appearing to his left with his zanpakuto in hand. At the same time he threw his reiatsu covered shikai, not at the Jester but through the ground and under the cero as it approached them. He had mere seconds to place his left arm around Rin. His shikai then came out of the ground behind the Jester, floating in the air. Shoske and Rin then teleported, barely missing the Gran Rey Cero and behind the Jester. They appeared, blood coming out of Shoske's mouth but his right shikai in hand as he swung his blade for the back of the Jester's neck with the last bit of strength his had.

Neil did a little fist pump when it seemed that the arrancar they were fighting was dead. "All right! Justice never..." Neil stopped himself when a huge powerful presence came by, it was enough to make Neil freeze as he could do nothing but watch Takeshi get killed by this one arrancar, that seemingly called the one they just beat useless and weak. Then the man left, while Neil still stood speechless, he shunpeod over to Takeshi and shook him a bit, before he shook a bit. "What the hell.... These guys, were nothing more than insects to them. "Sorry I couldn't help you, whoever you are...."

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

'That's right, attention on me Arrancar.' Rio thought as Zatsuo batted away her Hado and aimed his palm at her, charging a Cero. Gritting her teeth, Rio bent slightly, preparing to evade the attack until Kaizo appeared, punching Zetsuo which caused him to crash into several buildings. The Cero Zetsuo charged was released but missed Rio since it wasn't focused due to Kaizo's intervention. "Okay!" Looking behind her instantly, Rio saw that the Cero was still travelling, no too far away. 'Let's see if I can catch it.' Raising her Ninja Star so that the Cero could be seen through the hole, Rio moved her Kunai to point at middle of the hole, causing the hole to instantaneously close up with a layer of crystal. Crystal then shot from the tip of the Kunai, straight into the middle of th Crystal sheet, causing it to quickly grow, shooting out the other end at a fast past. 'Come on... touch it.' The Pillar continued to grow until the tip touched a part of the falling Cero, promptly absorbing the power. 'YES!' Swinging her Pillar around, Rio pulled her Kunai back, releasing the concentrated pillar of Cero energy back at Zetsuo. As a precaution incase that didn't work, Rio held out her left palm towards Zetsuo's position, charging a blue orb of energy while holding her Shikai in her right hand.

Not sure how long hes been knocked out, all he knew was he was twitching a bit, and he for some reason hurt in one area more than the rest. When he checked there was quite the bruise, and of course Sango was near him, so he could only assume Densen went on his man period. As Henry slowly moved to a sitting position he looked at Sango, and smiled, before it turned into a frown. 'Hey why did you leave the room, its far too dangerous out here, I mean thank you for saving me from whatever happened after I blacked out, and Densen is a really swell guy, hitting a guy when he is down, yet its incredibly dangerous right now. Go back inside and hide."
