With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
"As you say, boss' orders." He grinned. It was just his luck, of course, that tonight, of all nights, he'd been sent out to scout the area for 'possible Arrancar attacks'. He sighed, well, wasn't tonight his lucky night. Well, as long as Samuii didn't show up amidst the chaos that had begun to ensue, he'd be fine. He sighed softly, and looked into the action. Really, they were all violence junkies. Why couldn't they just...- He suddenly looked into the air, face in a look of horror.
He knew that Reiatsu. He'd fought that Reiatsu briefly before managing to escape. He knew who it was in seconds, and he was pretty sure everyone else knew it as well. But instead of saying something, he turned back to his friend with another sigh.
"So. Looks like things really will heat up, huh? Sounds like I could really get in on it. As long as I don't switch out, that is..." He grinned, and leaned against a nearby tree with a yawn. He really hoped that things wouldn't go that far. He didn't need to go feral, not with everything that was happening...
---
Footsteps slapped into the night. Kasai Rain ran through the streets, puffing as he went. Most people would be moving away from the source of the Reiatsu, but not this hothead. No matter how much stronger it felt, he had to investigate. It was in his nature! He laughed to himself at that comment, and suddenly burst through an alley, out the other side, landing in front of... a few people. Who all looked strong. Oh... shit. He blinked and smiled, laughing nervously. Yeah, that guy with the big axe-thing was kinda scary... Only one thing to do.
"Uh... Hi!" He suddenly got up and ran away, back into the alley, calling high hell as he went, not even noticing Solas-sensei nearby, just running. He'd check back on that group... later.
Roy had heard Makana's voice but once he saw the golden blast coming in there direction, well he had to act fast. As fast as he could, Roy Hirenkyakued over to Makana and Hiko, grabbing them both as he made a final move before the explosion. No time to talk now, as debris flew in all directions, and some hitting Roy in his exposed, burnt back. "Are you two ok?"
Lilynette looked as if she had witnessed something stupid while Starrk seemed to notice more to the situation. " Spoon Head got cut, thought he had the strongest heirro in all of Las Noches." She said in a mocking tone to Starrk while he stared at the Quincies location.
A Gartanta ripped open, though a small one it was noticeable by the noise it made. From inside a single hat fell from it, falling toward the ground and on top of Kaki's head blocking the attack from killing the small Vizard. However, more to this hat came from inside, as it stirred from the hit a shadow fell over Leocha. It was the picture perfect image of Gin's Shadow, with his patented wave, but it wasn't. It was Hatter's Doppelhatter playing a joke on Leocha for no reason.
The hat flopped off landing on it's top and out came Hatter to make the day better. "If I were an Espada I would have made this much more interesting then a straight out brawl. I would have made it a party, something festive, with streamers." He went on aloud, making fun of the gathering at hand as he stood in front of Kaki, not noticing her at all.
"Isn't that right Rabbit-Sama." Hatter came up with a new name for his Espada, seeing that he led another person to the party and his job in the past with Orihime. He seems to be best fit to lead people to the Wonderland known as Hueco Mundo.
After some time to get the necessary things out of the way, a black Butterfly fluttered in the air above the scene. A Senkaimon appeared above opening with familiar shadows inside.

A garganta ripped open the sky, and as if fate had stepped in, Halibel, and her fracci?n appeared inside it, and walked out of it, but to their surprise they appeared in the vicinity of the battlefield. They all had to stop and stare at the carnage, obviously fairly surprised at it. It's there Halibel, Apache, Sun-Sun, and Mila-Rose watched things unfold further, perhaps unwilling to fling themselves into the fray, or just too surprised to act.
Originally they had came to do some supply gathering, but who could ignore the intense gathering of spiritual pressure and combat?
===
Elsewhere a Senkaimon opened, and the Taichou of Squad 2 stepped forth, sent to personally look into the matter of a large gathering of various reiatsu, and if needed, rein it in so it doesn't spread. She wasn't expected to single-handedly defeat all violent enemies as their combined might might be too great for her, but even if she were ordered to kill them all, she would.
If other captains were deployed she wasn't told thanks to the divisions in the squads, and that information doesn't always pass between them. It didn't matter to her, anyhow. She stalked her way closer to the battlefield, and remained on the down low for the time being.
Kaki almost didn't notice Leocha sonido in front of her in time to stop. She skidded as she did, and she thought she might not be able to block as she plummeted to the street.
She didn't have to. A strange hat fell out of nowhere and onto her head, and somehow it managed to block the incoming attack, leaving Kaki unscathed. A silhouette emerged from the hat before it bounced off of her head and a man popped out.
Kaki was very, very confused.
"N-nani?" she murmured, watching the sight with a tilted head.
"If I were an Espada I would have made this much more interesting then a straight out brawl. I would have made it a party, something festive, with streamers."
Kaki blinked. Maybe it was time to go.
Eyes flickering to a familiar reiatsu, two of them, in fact, she saw two faces she remembered. One was a vizard who had visited her at her mountainous abode.
The other was an arrancar who had done the same. But he had nearly killed her sister, and had scared the shit out of her.
It was time go leave. And fast. She stood up, grabbed her zanpakuto, and, hoping that the bout of randomness would conceal her actions, she gathered reiatsu in the pit of her umbrella and swung it at Leocha's legs, the discharge singeing her hands yet again.
"Ikoi tsuku," she whispered as she swung her weapon, wincing slightly. This was aimed at his knees. Now she was just aiming to keep him from coming after her.
Atop the roof with Roy and Hiko, Makana's eyes grew wide as a cero launched at the three. She opened her mouth to speak but it didn't matter. Roy was on top of things - at least it seemed that way by the way he snatched her and Hiko and brought them away from the blast. It was hard to say she was unscathed, but aside from a few bruises from the debris and from Roy snatching her up, she could assume she was fine.
"Are you two ok?"
The woman pulled herself out of Roy's grasp to shake herself off. "Arigatou; I'm fine, Roi-kun."
When she looked back at the man, her eyes went wide. Soon they narrowed with rage as she brought her fists into the air and brought them down at Roy's head with a rather comical pout. "Baka, baka, bakaaaa! What about you, you big baka?"
His back was raw, burnt, and exposed. How could he be asking them if they were alright?
"I thought there was gonna be a fight or something! This is pathetic. No one's strong enough for a good fight."
Adela snorted. Neva remained indifferent. For them, it was better if they didn't get involved, especially not in a growing brawl like this one was turning out to be.
Celia frowned. She could sense a strong reiatsu nearby. Several. "You'd do well not to underestimate your opponents, Darui. That arrogance could get you killed."
Genuine caring for her fraccion's wellbeing. Especially with that idiot who started it all. Nnoitra had started this nonsense to begin with, hadn't he? It would be better if she kept her fraccion away from him. Flickering a warning gaze to her fraccion, she ordered, "Stay as far away from the Quinta as possible. I don't care who you pick a fight with, but don't take it near him. If he's the type to initiate this nonsense, he's definitely the type to kill you for getting in his way."
"Hai, Celia-sama," Neva answered, nodding. "Adela and I will be patient."
"Don't assume, idiota."
Celia ignored this comment, turning her gaze back over the battlefield.
The tearing of a gargantua behind her did not go ignored. She flickered her gaze to it to see a blue-eyed arrancar entering with a goofy grin.
Oh dear, what was this nonsense?
"Yooosh!" Adan chirped to himself, peering down below to see the red-haired espada. "Naaa~! I'm so ready this time!"
"Celia-samaaaaa~!" he chirped, jumping down towards Celia. "I'm Ada-OW!"
"Idiota!" Adela barked, jumping above her master's head and bringing her leg back. Just like that, she snapped it out and sent Adan flying through the air, comically.
"No!" Adan wailed. Not again!
Xuan entered from that same gargantua before it closed. His reptilian green eyes scanned the area. They found someone familiar. The gargantua slowly vanished as he said the name in his mind: Stour.
And finally, on the other side of the battle, where the captain had emerged, another shinigami emerged. His bespectacled gaze shimmered as he entered the area, the weight of the reiatsu sinking in heavily and angrily. What happened here?
As if that wasn't enough, he felt two very familiar reiatsu. One belonged to Daigoro.
The other belonged to the hollow child. The vizard. He didn't know her name, but he did know one thing: she shouldn't be alive.
He decided that that could be remedied later on. After he completed his mission. He stayed in the background for now, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Hiko was ashamed that he had missed the gigantic ball of yellow death heading towards his way until Roy appeared, grabbed the two of them by the waist, and moved away.
"Are you two ok?"
Hiko was about to say something about Roy's injured backside, but Makana got to it before he could by hitting the man on the head. She always had a way with words.
"This isn't good!" Hiko said, rushing towards the larger man and carefully examining the wound. It looked painful...Hiko felt his head getting lighter. But he knew he needed to help Roy. "Some of it is pretty badly burned, and if you don't do anything about it, there's a chance of infection! We need to do something! A cold towel, ointments, anything! We should go to the hospital!"
This wasn't safe. This area wasn't safe. They needed to get out of here, that was certain.
And on the other side...
"You'd do well not to underestimate your opponents, Darui. That arrogance could get you killed."
"I'm not underestimating!" Darui huffed, "I'm just bored!"
"Stay as far away from the Quinta as possible. I don't care who you pick a fight with, but don't take it near him. If he's the type to initiate this nonsense, he's definitely the type to kill you for getting in his way."
Darui caught Celia's glare, before turning to look at Nnoitra. He had just fired a cero towards one of the buildings, destroying it and anything on it. Celia was right. Nnoitra wasn't someone he wanted to be around, especially during something like this. He gave Celia a curt nod. "Yeah, fine."
As he turned to continue watching the fight, a garganta opened, and a figure launched itself towards his Espada. Tilting his head with an eyebrow raised in confusion (and slight amusement), Darui watched as Adela kicked the poor guy flying away.

After a few intense moments, Mikhail pulled himself back up towards the low wall. His eyes focused on the powerful arrancar, who's spiritual pressure left him winded. He was staring upward towards the building the arrows fell from. Mikhail followed his gaze up, and caught glimpses of dark openings with more people emerging.
The arrancar opened his mouth, and from it, fired a blast towards the building. Mikhail recognized the cero but hadn't seen this particular color or strength before. The yellow cero nearly decimated the upper part of the building, part of it was crumbling, and people were looking out their windows in shock. There wasn't much he could do to combat that kind of power, but at least he could help get people out of there.
Mikhail braced himself, hazel eyes flicking over towards the fighting, then back, before dashing across the street and inside. Sleepy, confused people were already coming downstairs, wondering if there was an earthquake. Mikhail started ushering them out, and away from what would soon be a war zone, then he would start looking for survivors.

Kitsune walked passed Kazuma but somehow he manged to notice that Senji was not in control. He smirked as he flashed stepped away form Kazuma's bakudo. He glared at Kazuma then smirked slyly "You are aware that as long as there are all these powerful reiatsu that Senji won't be conscience. I have to be in control because he can't and with these power people about Senji would get himself hurt severely."
Kitsune's smirk grew into a dark grin "I mean you could continue to try using bakudo and leave me here to get hurt or worse or option two leave me alone because your getting on my nerves."
Kitsune figured Kazuma wasn't going to listen hopeful he would be able to leave without Kazuma following. He was in no mood to fight Kazuma, they had fought before and Kitsune lost. But Kazuma wasn't really fun he wasn't willing to get hit with a point blank cero he wasn't willing to hurt Senji.
"I haven't done anything yet you feel its your job to watch over Senji and whatever he does. You are over stepping your bounds for someone from Soul Society. Now that I think about should you be concerning yourself with someone other me. Just because you know me doesn't make anything I do any of your business."
Kitsune couldn't do anything but persuade him to leave him alone but if he didn't Kitsune would have someone else on his shit list. Kitsune didn't care what Kazuma thought but it was annoying that he showed up and decide he would try and detain him. What gave him the right, what was his involvement. Even if he had a valid reason Kitsune would still dismiss it as crap.

After landing lightly on his feet Kazuma showed only contempt for the hollow, though he listened to what it was saying. The part about protecting Senji was incorrect, he was protecting Karakura, which was his duty. He frowned even more as Kitsune continued to tell him how he hadn't done anything, "Well that doesn't mean he won't do something in the future." thought Kazuma. His expression changed from repulsion to disbelief when Kitsune suggested that Kazuma let him go. Was Kitsune mental or something? Why would he let him go? However, despite the insanity of the proposition, Kazuma began to think about it. There were many Shinigami and Vizards and Quincy present, and if Kitsune were to stir up trouble he would be dealt with. And if Kazuma were to let him go then he could go find an Arrancar or someone else to fight against. The possibilities weren't exactly endless, but they were a fair amount.
"Alright dumbass, here's the deal. A. I'm not looking after Senji, I'm looking after Karakura. Lets get that out of your head first. B. I have every right to come after you because of A. C. If I were to let you go that would be against my duty, but right now I am sensing stronger and more dangerous opponents nearby. So for now, I'm going to go take care of them and let you go. Just to inform you, there are around a dozen Shinigami, Vizard and Quincy together not far away, if you cause anything, I'm sure that someone will be after you."
He then jumped back up to the rooftops and looked around for which way to go. It was rather obvious however, as there were several Garganta and Senkaimon in the distance. He ran towards the gates, wondering if he had just made a big mistake.

Post by Kobato Banrai on Dec 22, 2010 3:43:11 GMT -5
Kobato merely looked from his rooftop as more and more people poured onto the scene. Stronger Arrancar, Vizards, and Shinigami. It would be fun to fight one of them, whether he lost or not. All that mattered was if he died, he didn't want that although he would still fight just for the hell of it.
He would however, wait for someone to attack him as he didn't want to rush in and get himself killed. He'd rather someone else do it. So Kobato just stood there, watching and evaluating the strengths of the brawlers below. He only looked and evaluated, nothing else, even as his inner hollow constantly nagged him.
"Why aren't you down there fighting?!" Taison asked. "Can't you feel that spiritual pressure". "Just let me have a little bit of it".
Kobato only stared quietly at the battle ensuing below. It was a sight to see, with all the different strengths down there. He found that he somewhat enjoyed watching the fights. Although he would've loved to been down there himself, he didn't want to take too much of a gamble.
He felt it as soon as they showed up through their garganta. Adan and Xuan had arrived. Where was Szayel? He'd show up when needed, Stour supposed, if ever that occurred. People were pairing off, others standing alone. He was surprised people hadn't started double teaming eachother.
Some rather strong opposition had begun to appear. Stour didn't really have a desire to play with those absurd reiatsu levels. There weren't many that wouldn't just be easy prey around here... Although, that could be very very fun, too.
A quick sonido put Stour right behind Adan and Xuan, and with raised eyebrows he questioned, "It's so boring here, you may as well have not come at all. Nothing interesting at all."
His hands were firmly sitting in his pockets as he spoke, looking right past them at the others nearby. Weird group, this was.
Our bed becomes a grave before we blow ourselves away!
