Blood splattered onto the floor beneath Rio from the deeps cuts covering her arms and legs as she let out deep pants, coughing up a little more blood. She fell onto her knees, the crystal sheet didn't shatter until now. She breathed out immediately. What had happened was that the crystal sheet had actually absorbed Kaizo's attack, but not even half of it as Rio still had felt the pressure and had been hit. None-the-less, the crystal fragments, about 12, from the sheet stilled in the air, each of them a different size and glowed yellow from the Kido, making each of them now explosive. She took a moment to get her breath back before standing back up and looking at Kaizo blankly with slight hostility. Lifting her Shikai, she pointed both tips of her blades at Kaizo. She commanded, sending three of her 12 explosive crystal fragments directly towards Kaizo, one small and two mediums.

Kaizo watched Rio take some damage from the Kido however his face remained emotionless and cold, a look he had never shown Rio before but this was a side of him she would rarely see...he was showing his Squad 2 side...in Squad 2...there was no mercy. As Kaizo saw it now she was the enemy and he was fighting her as such Kaizo then saw as she sent three yellow crystals towards him causing Kaizo to narrow his eyes as he then batted one away with his left hand and dodged another however caught the last one with his right hand and looked down at it, he had caught a medium sized one but there was a reason he had caught this crystal...Rio would find out soon enough
