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.
Gillroy sighed heavily. It was true his reaitsu did fluctuate and he was a bit nervous. Nervous only because he hadn't killed the sucker yet. He pumped more reaitsu into the air before watching the big man talk and talk.
"... Why're you so nervous?" He finally said, smile having dissapearing and mouth set in a firm line. "It's easy to tell, even from here, that your reiastu is fluctuating."
"To be honest," he stated, "I haven't been training enough lately. I've forgotten how to use my muscles properly. But this has been a good work out. Thanks."
And then he said,"Your words are meaningless." He said simply, "Like a tiger trapped in a corner, you're thrashing out desperately in whatever way possible. You almost ain't worth the time."
I mean if you tally that up he spent the same amount of talking as him. Gillroy just talked at once while Kenapchi was hesitant. A good work out. Gillroy sighed. The man still did not figure it out. Any idiot could tell by just looking at Gillroy. The way he was dressed. The spiritual pressure underneath. This was no fight. This was training.
"You've made a good training buddy, Captain," Gillroy said watching the man hurl himself at Gillroy. Reaitsu was easily manipulated and very useful. While he was no expert he was pretty decent when it came to that. The reaitsu was almost a trap. Instead of creating a barrier or healing himself, he set a trap basically. Many people would notice the orange reaitsu around in the air spread out but this amn was a reckless guy.
Once Kenpachi made initial contact with the reaitsu in the air, Gillroy was gone. He simpley stepped behind his staff with his newfound reaction time. Kenpachi slwoed by the reaitsu landed and slashed at where Gillroy was a half second ago. Gillroy watched as the man cut through the air for a good second or two. This man had no long range attacks, Gillroy thought to himself.
Game Over. Gillroy took his left hand and put it atop the staff. The man swinged his sword viciously and fast. With such power. Cutting the air so nicely. His form and raw power sliced air like it was nothing. He was so happy cutting air. If the reaitsu had not been there to warn Gillroy he would have to block it, but the reaitsu alerted him of the quick movements very early. He gripped the top of the staff with his left arm and turned it downward and toward himself. Due to physics, the other side went up and toward Kenpachi. Smash. The staff knocked him right upside the chin. pushing his head to face the dark sky. He pushed him up but failed to lift him. Before Kenpachi could get a strike in he called for El Toro.
"Inferar El Toro," Gillroy said as the staff blazed flames that covered the man's upper torso and head. It pushed him back. A break. Just what he needed. He slammed the staff into the ground in front of him. He put the sword on the ground next to him lying flat. He sighed.
"A man who covers his reaitsu in an eyepatch should realize the reaitsu under my stomach and right glove," Gillroy said as he wrapped his arms around his waste. He unbuckled the giant buckles around his waste. There were multiple heavy buckles and when he was finished he threw them to the side. The ground shook and debree bursted up as the buckles hit the ground. The buckles created a small indent in the ground.
"Two hundred and fifty pounds each. There are three belts. No wonder I was so slow fighting you. Training buddy," Gillroy said as he lifted his right hand out. He was used to the wait. Always carried it around since he became an arrancar. It was liek fighting with high gravity. He felt light.
"My hollow remaints reside underneath my right glove. This hollow peice of me collects reaitsu over time and is sealed beneath my glove. This hand will reveal power and reaitsu I have been hiding. No wonder my attacks barely scratched you," Gillroy said as he slipped his glove off his right hand. He saw that Nene had shown off impressive reaitsu, now it was his turn. The fluctuated orange reaitsu spiraled into the air. A new orange, red, and yellow reaitsu took form. It was stable and it covered much ground. Under the glove was no human hand. A white hollow hand was revealed. It had stubby fingers with pointy tips. Only one point bended rather than two that bend in a human's finger.
"I'm going to cut that eye and eyepatch out of your head," Gillroy said as he grabbed his staff with his left hand and grabbed his sword with his hollow of a hand. He had also held back on his resereccion form. He was in his sealed state, but his power raged on. Resereccion would kill this man in one hit now. He wanted to have fun.
Karel's eyes widened when the woman he had stabbed disappeared. "It was another afterimage, so that would mean that she's.." Karel's thoughts were interrupted by the burning sensation of pain on his back. She had managed to hit him. Karel felt the blood dripping down his back, the attack had burnt right through his Captain's haori, shinigami robes, and his own skin. It had been awhile since someone had managed to hit Karel and it was even more rare for someone to draw his blood. Karel turned around to face his opponent, whom he regarded with much more interest now. As soon as he faced her, she had crushed the necklace in her hand, as if it were made of dirt, and in response, her reietsu began to increase dramatically.
"I see" Karel thought to himself as the arrancar's reietsu continued to rise. "So either the necklace was a seal on her own reietsu, or it served as a boost." The explosive sounds of Kenpachi and the other arrancar could be heard as Karel stared carefully at the girl, the tattered remains of the back of his Captain's haori were now deeply stained with blood. Karel began to smile, a look of cold insanity was reflected in his golden gaze.
What Karel did next may have surprised his enemy. The captain took his zanpaktou and reached behind him, dipping the sword in one of his open gashes created by the arrancar's previous attack. As soon as the zanpaktou came into contact with the his blood, it began to soak it up like a sponge. Karel pulled his sword away from the wound after a few second, it was now glowing bright red, it's reietsu seemed different from before. "Xue Yu" Karel whispered to his zanpaktou, "Shoji".
Karel lifted his zanpaktou in the air, its shining crimson glow gave off an eerie light that made the streets appear to be painted with blood. Karel let go of the hilt of the sword, the zanpaktou continued to float in the air, as if it had forgotten about gravity. As the crimson blade continued to float beside the Captain, he reached to the side of his belt, his hand grasping the hilt of another zanpaktou. He slowly drew the sword from its sheath, the distinct sound of scraping metal could be heard. The sword he held now was not blood red like the one floating in the air, but the reietsu surrounding it was definitely that of a zanpaktou.
Karel smiled at the arrancar, she was already prepared, her reietsu had stabilized. But still, Karel felt that he would overpower her with his next onslaught. "Go" Karel said coldly as he made a quick hand gesture toward the woman. Just as he did, the original, floating zanpaktou shot toward the arrancar like a missile, set on striking its target. At the exact same time, Karel shunpo'd to the right of Nene, slashing out diagonally at her shoulder. The arrancar would have to deal with two opponent now: Karel, and his possessed zanpaktou.
"Go" Suddenly the captain had managed to get behind her, he had then attempted to slash her while sending his zanpakuto at her. She knew she couldn't get hit with both so she chose the wiser of the two.
She had taken the captain's slash, though it hit her buxom and stung like hell. She then lashed out at him by punching him in the face, cuttting his torso then when the zanpakuto got close enough she threw him in fornt of it, hoping he'd get hit instead of her. She then jumped up a building and opened her tassel for the final time, after a few seconds it began to shine a beautiful glow. She had done it now it was a matter if the attack would kill him or not. Her final and last defense was her flower necklace which had sealed 50% of her total power. She had never used it knowing that she might not even need it. Together with her essurcion and attacks she hoped he would just,you know, drop dead.

"Okie dokie I'm tired of sleeping xD))
-Inner World- Deep in his inner world, a large dark, murky cave. Satsu layed consious, but unable to move. He heard voice echoeding. The shrill voice of Kinoshin, and the deep booming voice of Hiryu.
"God, you're such a dumbass."
"Why did you use it then? Only one of the Arrancars was in range."
"Its because he's fallen in love with that female Arrancar. He wont kill her." Kinoshin walked over and kicked Satsu's limp body. "Isnt that right?
"Falling for an Arrancar, what the hell were you thinking?"
Kinoshin bent over Satsu and put his on on the back of his neck. A dark reaitsu covered his body. "Just let me take care of things." He said with a villianess smirk. "You'll just kill everyone." Satsu said as the dark reaitsu dissapated. He slowy stood up, stumbling a little. He fell back to his knees. " This is the result of that attack." Hiryu said glareing at Satsu. "They are using mainly reiatsu based attacks, had you not used the Tenma Myaku, your Bankai would be the perfect counter-measure." Satsu slowly waled away, towards the end of the cave. "Then I guess I'll have to use my Bankai." He said smiling, looking back at the giant dragon. "Crazy fool, in your condition I give you about five minutes in your bankai before you collaps." Satsu smiled and kept himself from laughing. "Well I guess I'll have to end things quickly." He walked over to Kinoshin and placed his hand on the hollow mask. "Or course I may need your help." Satsu ripped the mask off and Kinoshin's body seemed to melt away. He put the mask on and his inner world seemed to disapate.
-Real world- Satsu slowly opened his eyes. He stumbled as he stood gazing around the battle field. A fwew of his major wounds had healed while he was unconcious. The hollow mask formed as he used shunpo to get a few yards behind Nene. "Ba...bankai." He uttered which immediatly gave away his position. "Monosugoi Hiryu." with a burst of reiatsu his blade once again changed into its Bankai form. "I apologize, but my job is to kill you, Arrancar." As he spoke a single tear fell from his eye, although it was hidden by the hollow mask. He raised his sword, hopefully with the close range and her attention on Kenpachi she wouldnt be able to dodge. The white portion of the bladed glowed once more, perhaps for the last time for a very long time. "Shinjibukai....." He narrowed his eyes as he spoke, the obvious dread in his voice. In that instant so many things ran through his head. He was not a shinigami, but a Vaizard. His hollow powers were considered illegal. He had fallen in love with an Arrancar, also something the Soul society would look down on. Could anything atone for what he is, and what he has done? Would killing Nene really make the Soul society accept him? Was there any real point to all this fighting if in the end the Society would exhile, or even kill him? Nevertheless, Satsu knew what had to be done. "Nami." He swung the sword and the wave of white reaitsu fired at Nene.
((I'm going to assume that you took the hilt to the knee and injured yourself, seeing as you didn't react to it in the post.))
"Che."
As the flames dissipated from his body, the large burnt form of the captain could be seen. The smell of burnt flesh filled his nostrils with every breath.
"So, looks like you've got a few tricks up your sleeves." Kenpachi's voice sounded gruff, his head bowed over with a shadow covering his face. "That's good."
"Two hundred and fifty pounds each. There are three belts. No wonder I was so slow fighting you. Training buddy."
He lifted up his face from the shadows, revealing an ear-splitting smile. "Excellent! It's been awhile since I've had this much fun!"
There were a few things that was unknown about Kenpachi Zaraki to the general public, a couple things that remained unknown to people who hadn't truely fought him.
"Now!" He roared, cackling as he did so, "Let us truely fight."
The first. With the thought in his mind Kenpachi dissapeared from sight, unable to register with the naked eye. The first was that Kenpachi Zaraki possessed absolutely no knowlege of shunpou. Meaning, he couldn't use it at all. Well, hadn't it looked like he used shunpou more then once, and if he couldn't, what would be the point of the bells on his hair.
The answer to that question was simple, his regular running speed could outdo shunpou.
The large captain reappeared behind the Arrancar before beginning his onslaught, a steady barrage of incredibly powerful attacks were flung at his opponent's form.
... And, if his movement speed could seem like shunpou... that also meant that his attacks and arm speed could move as fast.
His arm moved at a high velocity, creating such a steady barrage of attacks that it was rather hard to find an openning, it was as if Kenpachi was being protected by a barrier of lashing blades.
Secondly, the happier he got, the better he fought. Usually, when more and more of his blood was spilt, he would attack with a ferociousness that their opponent could not begin to understand.
After awhile, they finally locked blades and staff, the large captain smiling maniacally at the sight of blood everywhere. He pushed him back with ease and let his blade rest easily on his shoulder.
"Heh," He chuckled, blood pumping through his veins. "I really haven't had this much fun in awhile."
"I apologize, but my job is to kill you, Arrancar." Damn vaizard kept popping up at the worst moments. She had hoped that at least the captain would do her in but a Vaizard?! Never she was going to end his life and quite possibly her own.
"I'm sorry I had wanted a little time later to deal with you, but it seems you want death!"
As she spoke the tassel glowed a marvelous glow in mere seconds she was face to face with his attack which she had stopped with her blade, which now had her ultimate attack fully powered.
"I'm sorry, but thanks to that captain i've had too much time to prepare this, i'm in Ressurrccion, i've lifted my seal, and have had over ten minutes to charge this attack. Basically meaning that a direct hit will kill you.
Slowly she abosrbed the white attack, though she gained several cuts from it. She then slashed at his chest, which in returned fired a gargantuan blast that, had she not been prepared, could have critically injured her.
"Florenza Cannon!"
The blast should have left him for dead, but she had no time for that she had to focus on Karel, she was now heaviluy panting that attack sapped serious rei out of her, she doubted she was going to survive his next attack.
(OOC: I took the hilt to the knee. I don't see how it matters but okays)
Gillroy watched as the captain hurled himself at Gillroy. Gillroy sighed as he watched the captian begin to strike. Gillroy let himself be cut. He gathered reaitsu as the captain slashed. He looked to the left and a burst of blood arced right out. He looked to the right and more blood. The captain landed hits all over his body including the stomach. The captain must ahve been suprised by the easy target he let himself open for about one fourth of a second. Gillroy raised his sword and made a slight cut over his eyepatch. No blood came out. Gillroy raise his staff and blocked the captain's blow. The captain fled back. The wound over the eyepatch burst at that moment he fled. The tiny strings that held the patch were cut as well. They were halfway fully cut. Gillroy held back from cutting the whole thing off. It would be foolish to let the man reveal his true strength in such close combat distance. As the eyepatch stood strong, Gillroy gathered reiastu. He used it to stop any bleeding and repair any serious wounds. The orange reiatsu filled his body and Gillroy coughed. Blood came out on his hand. He studied the blackish blood which stained his skin. He could not fight much longer. As the reiatsu seeped into his body he clutched his hands. To the side of him it seemed Satsu had gotten up and then Nene had blasted him with some powerful attack.
Gillroy felt his body slowly come back to health. His piercing eyes were focused on the captain. Other than the cero balst wound in his stomach he was almost untouched. Hierro had save Gillroy from any deep cuts, but it cost some valuable reiatsu. The little cut wasn't the only reason Gillroy let him be cut. He realized the man had not increased his power. The attack was simpley the same as when he had not taken off the glove. Gillroy could have easily used sonido to get out of there, but he needed some data. The arcing motion and swinging was no analyzed. Gillroy felt his body jump as the last of the reaitsu poured in his body.
Gillroy raised his sword and staff and said, "Traer Infeirno, El Toro." He figured the man would not last a single good attack at this power level. With the glove off and the belts gone his resereccion would fail in comparison to his newfound power. His blazing attacks were nothign compared to these new attacks and power he would show off. His horns pierced the sky and his breathe was visible. A raging fire encircled the two fighters. The heat raged to the point water boiled. A hundred degrees celsious. Sweat and blood seemed to boil on the ground. It wasn't that hot though. The grass burned and turned brown. Gillroy pounded hsi new bulky chest and stomped with his new strong hooves. The circle was about 50 feet in every direction. The fire raged as it created a firey arena of death.
Gillroy put his hollow hand forward. A barrier formed a few feet behind the firey circle. A square barrier made of orange reaitsu. This was to prevent getting in or getting out. The barrier was finsihed by sealing the top. The barrier made the heat stay intensifying the temperature. Gillroy snarled. He let the hammer fall to his side. He held it with a single hand rather than two like he had before. He bent down in a pre-running posistion. He did not but his hands to the ground but he bent hsi knees and kept his head high. He put his left hand forward and the hammer on his back still holding it with the right hand.
He used High Sonido to get right in front of Kenpachi as he swung his hammer down with so much force the ground shook. The hammer was aiemd right for Kenpachi's head and no matter how durable this man was a strike like this would completely shatter his skull in seconds. As the judgement hammer fell, Gillroy let out a snarl. There was no where to run in this arena.
Karel smiled as he managed to draw the blood of his opponent, but in exchange, she had managed to leave a decent wound on his face and a gash on his chest. She then had managed to grapple him and throw him in front of his own Zanpaktou as it hurled toward the both of them like a bullet. The blood red blade stopped in mid-flight, inches from his face. "My apologies, Karel-sama!" a faint voice echoed in his head. It was the voice of the spirit of his zanpaktou, a young woman's voice, an obvious hint of regret and true sincerity could be heard in her voice. "It's not a problem, Xue Yu, this was my own mistake this time" he said coldly as he grabbed the floating zanpaktou by its hilt, the separate reietsu faded away as he regained control over the sword. "Now" Karel said as he turned around to face the arrancar again, yet just as he did, something unexpected happened. The vizard had risen again, and spoke the final words of battle "bankai". He fired a blast of white reietsu at the woman, whom he still shed tears for. He was experiencing a conflict of his own emotions, the killing intent of his attack was not strong enough.
Karel watched patiently as the vizard and the arrancar exchanged blows. In the end, it would seem the woman had spent all her energy trying to finish off the vizard, she wouldn't live much longer. Unfortunately for her, Karel wasn't one to show anyone sympathy, they had already begun their fighting, and it wouldn't be finished until one of them were dead.
Karel smiled as the woman turned to face him, she was at her limit, she had reached the peak of her power and it had sapped her reietsu by a considerable amount. But she still wasn't to be taken lightly, he would have to give her a fitting death for a person of such power. Karel's eyes narrowed as a maniacal grin spread across his handsome face, his long, dark hair blew behind him in a wild manner as if it were being blown by a powerful gust of wind. Karel's reietsu began to increase as he gripped his sword tighter, a shell of crimson reietsu surrounded the man.
"Bankai!"
As soon as Karel uttered that word, what happened was the very definition of uncontrolled destruction. There was a massive explosion of red reietsu, the ground underneath the Captain began to disintegrate as chunks of broken pavement rose into the air and crumbled into dust. The windows of nearby windows shattered as the air thickened dramatically with reietsu. People with smaller reietsu level would likely choke and collapse under the intense pressure. Along with the explosion of energy was a deafening roar that pierced the ears of those around, and sounded like a missile was being launched. Karel stood still for a few seconds as the effects of his bankai release continued, the air around him seemed heavily distorted by the thick reietsu, the massive amounts of raw reietsu continued to push out like an explosion that would never end.
Afterward, the energy began to withdraw. It'd didn't weaken, but the mass of crimson energy began to disappear as it was sucked back into Karel's zanpaktou. Soon all the visible energy was gone, all that could be seen was the Captain standing in a gigantic crater created by his release. However, the Captain's figure could only barely be made out, as the air around him was still so distorted that he looked like a faint mirage. Karel smiled as he stared at the arrancar, red sparks of pure energy danced across his zanpaktou, which could barely contain all the energy pint up inside of it. "subete no shouhi hakai " Karel shouted, his golden eyes reflected his insanity.
The red surges of energy emanating from his zanpaktou ceased, and his blade seemed to have finally calmed down. Nothing could be further from the truth. Five second of silence passed, the only sound that could be heard was the raging fire surrounding Kenpachi and the arrancar he was fighting. The calm before the storm. The silence was shattered by the roar of energy that returned. An enormous blast of red energy formed at the tip of Karel's zanpaktou, shooting out like a giant, grand rey cero. The ground and sky alike were lit with the color of blood as the entire are around Nene was consumed by the destructive force of his bankai. The blast died down after a few seconds, there was nothing but a scarred and blackened crater where Nene was had stood. The reietsu surrounding Karel began to die down as his zanpaktou reverted back to its shikai. Karel began to search the crater he had created for any remains of the arrancar, his cold, golden gaze scanned the charred and blackened remains of all that had once existed there. He had held back, he had no choice, if he released the full capacity of Subete No Shouhi Hakai, the entire section of the city might have been reduced to a desolate wasteland, not that he would regret the loss of human life, but it was unnecessary and that would have completely depleted his reietsu to the point of exhaustion and possibly death.
((OMG, sorry everyone, i made a wall >.<))

"subete no shouhi hakai" Shit she had drained all of her rei she only had energy for two last ditch attacks she knew that she would die if she was hit, so she did this quickly.
"Caja Negacion" When the blast hit it it took some of the damage and as the attack neared her a negacion opened and swallowed her. She was surprised but happy of the turn of events. She only had a few words to seperate people.
To Gillroy " I'm sorry to leave but im in critical condition good luck Gillroy Umikaze."
TO Kenpachi " You bloodthirsty fool , watch as the flames of my soul erupt within his zanpakuto and annihalates you."
and finally to Karel " Next time you foul disgusting shinigami, when i'm at my full power and that Vaizard doesn't interupt."
As she exited she gathered all her rei and made a new necklace.
(This is where Nene exits permly lol....PEACE OUT SUCKAZ)
((Just some wonderful trivia: since in Kamiar's very first post it was stated that the surroundings were scarce of people, and that a bunch of schoolgirls had been eaten, it's probably either very early dawn-going to school or late dusk-going home from sch. And since if it was dawn, a whole lot of people would be killed had they travelled into the area where you guys've been fighting during the rush hour, so let's just say it was duck, and now it's somewhere near midnight, assuming 1 page somewhat equals to about an hour. Correct me if I'm wrong... my Shikai is sorta dependant on time.))
If someone said the raging picture of all-out war here was scary, they were gravely mistaken.
Scary didn't cut it.
It was a wonder no one else but the few innocents had been obliterated in the crossfire of this extremely vigorous battle, but then again, it seemed that Shinigami had some sort of tech that steered most low level humans away from the battlefield. Still, the pure mayhem and destruction going about the streets tonight would be a hefty weight on the Soul Society's wallet, and seeing that it was the captain of Division 11 himself, Zaraki Kenpachi, the poor gang of members would probably be surviving on eating grass for a month or so. Then again, maybe not; was anyone brave (or fool) enough to request Kenpachi to fork out the money?
If one looked at it from a financial point of view, the Arrancar were definitely much better of for the Shinigami. They probably participated in the mass destruction as much as Kenpachi (a feat to consider there were two of them... plus the extra shinigami and vizard), but in the end it was still the Shinigami paying for the damages. Ah, woes of playing the good guy. And one must wonder if Aizen even handed out allowances to his Arrancar. The scene might be an intrguing one that went like:
Aizen: Here, Ulqiorra, your pocket money for today. *tosses a penny*
Ulqiorra: ...Thank you for your graciousness, Aizen-sama.
Aizen: Of course. Here, Yammy, you need to eat lots, so take a hundred bucks...
...That was. If the idea of currency even existed among the Arrancars.
Anyway, back to the story.
A young boy hung around on the outskirts of the battle, watching the ongoing dispute much like the Vizard had a while ago. But rather than an expression of interest, the look on his face right now cried out more 'dismay' than anything.
"...Mataku... I come back after my holidays, and the first thing I see is an Arrancar-versus-Shinigami-versus-Vizard orgy royal rumble? Oh please. The irony. I can totally see a bad bar joke out of this. ...Worse, they're totally blocking the way. I can't just go up to them and say' Uh, sirs, would you please hold off the fighting for a sec while I pass', can I? ...Actually I'm just to lazy to. Might as well sit this one out."
The boy in question here was a strange one. For one, he was eccentrically dressed; not his clothes, for they were odinary enough. A yellow Kaka soccer jersey with too many stains and ragpatches, and gray jeans that must have been some other color once, but have long sonce faded away during their thousandth or so wash. What made him stand out was that, wrapped around his eyes, was a binding drape of dark maroon cloth, and he wore a million punds of golden hoops and jewelry on both arms and legs. Two particular shiny lagre hoops doubled as earrings, very gipsy-like. Otherwise, it was only a rather pale-ish, moderately half-tall young demikid with a head of wild, bird's nest hair, leaning on his staff of ashwood.
..That, and of course, he was radiating some amount of reiatsu.
By nature, the boy kept his reiatsu level to a minimum; there was oh so many Hollows he could kill before his arms became tired. However, the real reason the spirit energy off him would pass as only a low level was because of his permanant-form shikai, which pretty much leeched much of his reiatsu from him. Then again, with every second approaching midnight his reiatsu would grow stronger, but with that much hot blood in the air he was willing to bet the others wouldn't even blink an eye at him.
So he just waited till the trolls let the little billy goat gruff pass the bridge.
