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.
Meanwhile, at the same moment that Django and his crew entered Kagamino City, Jeanne had entered Karakura Town with the dogs she decided were worth the chance at fodder. Sobek was on the list for cannon fodder, the man needed to learn his place. Despite having his eye torn out and being encased in her iron maiden multiple times, he still thinks highly of himself.
She stepped out of the garganta, iron maiden worn like a backpack, and looked around. She snapped her fingers and four more rips in space opened and four obelisk fell to the ground. "Well, what are you waiting for? Put them in place now." She said with sweet authority as four large arrancar grabbed the obelisk and sonidoed away.
That madman better be right about these things. The thought came to mind of Hatter making her these obelisk to prevent shinigami from interfering. How she would loathe the interruption of her mission by those self righteous people. When they were placed, an invisible barrier appeared to prevent Soul Society from being aware of the coming battle.
"Sobek, take your men and begin your search." She ordered as she descended down to the ground below, not caring to hear his voice at the time. She started her own search, alone, and started to walk toward the mountains.

Lilith was enjoying her time outside, by herself. Another successful hit at a sweet shop. Her rep was growing as the purple spiral made her glee with delight.
Things were looking up for her. She had friends, human friends, Samyeru had been a great brother to her, and an all you can eat buffet of sweets. Nothing could go wrong, today was a great day.
Little did she know that today was going to take a turn for the worst. And it all started with a fateful bump into a Human girl that was jugging in the area of her home.
------
Yue was jugging, training her endurance with weights on her ankles. She enjoyed a good run at night and she had the skills to kick the crap out of anyone who dared to try anything perverted to her.
She didn't now why she turned toward the mountain ridges. Something compelled her to go through the woods for a run. Snapping twigs, ducking under low branches, and jumping over fallen logs, Yue just kept going. But the feeling that something was off about this part of the woods kept itching the back of her head.
Looking around, she noticed a large white pillar a few yards away. No, not a pillar. The closer she got, the better the details came to her amber eyes. "An obelisk? Here?" She mumbled under her breath as she got closer. She didn't know that a Larger Hippo faced Arrancar was standing guard by sitting next to the Obelisk.

Sobek stepped out of a garganta near Jeanne, he folded his arms and gazed out over the area with his one good yellow-gold eye. Jeanne snapped her fingers and ordered around the four dumb schmucks that had been 'drafted' to help place some silly obelisks. Devices that supposedly were gonna keep the shinigami from discovering them. Maybe SHE couldn't hide her spiritual power but he could, he didn't need some crazy device to hide his presence. Yet another reason she didn't deserve the position she carried.
"Sobek, take your men and begin your search."[/color]
Sobek pretended not to hear her order and just stood there a moment. He reached up and ran some fingers through his long dark hair just thinking about how much he would rather cero the twit into the ground. She didn't stick around for a response though and headed off towards the mountains. After she had gone he canted his head just slightly towards the two arrancar he brought with him. It was interesting how they viewed him, both would probably attack him for the chance to get into Jeanne's good graces but they were trash. He didn't care what the two did, they knew what they were here for and so he said only one thing to them.
"You two have your orders, don't get in my way."
Then he was gone in a flash of Sonido.

Adan cupped a hand over his mouth and yawned. His jaw cracked, so he shifted it from side to side. He proceeded to roll his shoulders and neck, smiling as a few more cracks resonated through his bones. Finally, he sat up straight. Perhaps dozing off in some character or another of a sign wasn't his best bet. He leaned forward and read the sign. Up-side-down. "Huh. A bakery. Should try it sometime."
He hopped out of the curved symbol, casually walking through the air. He slipped his hands into his pockets. He felt around, searching for any familiar feelings. Well, no one he knew. He looked down, watched a few humans as they hurried off of the street. Onto a train, or onto a bus. "Huuu, it gets so boring here."
Well, no matter. He could find something. Or someone.
He had no idea.

Jeanne continued to move through the woods, she was in no hurry to where she was going. The rumors of an Arrancar that was teaching Humans to fight his own kind, that's the one she wanted to check on. The details in reports made her wonder, wonder if this is the same one she wanted so much.
If it is him, then he shall finally be mine. That thought came as she continued to walk through the woods.
Her face showed detest as she walked. These woods were not like Hueco Mundo, it was too lively. She detested the noise, it was too cheery. Then a small furry thing crossed her path, causing her to stop. It looked up at her and she down to it. As if feeling the hate and anger given off by her, it tried to run as she fired a cero in its direction. The crimson blast burned away a large path to hit the rodent that interrupted her walking. Not caring whether she hit it or not, she continued toward the mountain, and hopefully to her target.
------
Lilith hadn't been paying attention, if she had she could have seen that light show close to her home or the dark skinned girl in her path.
She ran right into her, Yue falling forward with the little Arrancar toward the obelisk. "What hit me? Rubbing her head as Lilith laid on her lap, circles swirling in her eyes. The two girls laid only a few feet away from the Hippo Arrancar.
He looked up to see what he had before him. His job was to protect the big rock thing behind him, but he didn't feel like getting up from his spot just yet. The fact that his intelligence was below standard made his orders simple. Don't let the Obelisk fall. The small pretty girl said that to him. She had a nice voice and face, but something about her made him scared. Not sure what but he was scared of her. "Go away, small girls. Mook not want you here." With a near southern accent, Mook told the two to leave with the best of the abilities he had.
------
Not too far from Adan's location, another large Arrancar placed an Obelisk in the ground. This one looked like a human on too many steroids with large horns sticking out of his skull. Topless except for some straps covering his nipples much like a pair of suspenders, the large Arrancar sat hard on the ground.
The ground shook somewhat as he sat, small cracks formed on the ground near him. He placed a large Kanabo to let it lean on his shoulder as he sat. The way he sat, he resembled a drunken Oni from legend who sought to be entertained before battle. " *Yaawwwnn* This job sucks. Can't even drink." He said as scratched his exposed belly and placed an arm on his knee.

Sobek ended up at near some shops, there was a fountain outside and it drew his attention. He descended and alighted atop the statue in the middle of the fountain, folding his arms and looking around the area. He really didn't care to follow Jeanne's orders vague as they were. Sobek's dark hair flowed in the breeze as he boredly searched. He watched one of the other arrancar head past with one of the obelisks, off to place it to disguise their efforts from soul society.

"This job sucks," Adan heard distantly. "Can't even drink."
Adan smiled widely. There was a person he could see! Of course, the person felt like another arrancar, and had Adan been concerned for his safety, he wouldn't approach. He would go the opposite direction.
Fortunate, then, that Adan was not bothered by trifles like safety.
He used Sonido to appear on a rooftop near the giant arrancar, his stump glowing with energy from a cero. He grinned wildly, then shouted.
"Achapparadooooooo," he called, moving his stump overhead like a pitcher about to throw a fastball. "Susto!"
He flung his arm forward, and thus his cero rocketed at the other arrancar...only to fizzle out and explode in a colorful (but harmless) display, just a few feet away from the man. Adan rested his stump on his hip, and waved his hand high in the air. "Hola mi amigo! Commo...commo.... Howdy?"
Character List "Let's eat, Grandma!" "Let's eat Grandma!" Commas save lives.
Jugo looked in the direction he hears a noise from, expecting maybe a bird he only got a flash of the cero headed his way. Grabbing his kanbo, Jugo shot up to redirect the Cero away from the obelisk, only to stop mid swing.
The display of colorful light was incredible and caught the not so intelligent man off guard. He spotted a small man, a very small man compared to the near ten foot giant. "Wha? Did you do that little man? That was a funny trick." Jugo smile as he placed his iron club on his shoulder, his size more apparent the closer Adan gets closer.
He didn't know Adan was one of those rouge Arrancar the others were searching for or the fact that Sobek was watching close by. The only thing he knew was that this guy was entertaining.

Lilith got up to look at what had happened to her and more importantly her food. "Who the hell are you? You owe me some new snacks!" She yelled, all the while ignoring the man behind them.
Yue, equally upset got up at the small girl yelling at her about snacks. "Look here girl. You ran into me and I owe you nothing." To which the two began to stare at each other as if lightning were shooting between the two. Neither side backing down and both ignoring Mook.
"You not hear? Mook not want you here!" this time, Mook yelled and got up from his seat. He held a large Sabre in his hand and looked rather angry.
Both Yue and Lilith looked up at the very large, both in height and girth of the Arrancar standing before them. He Was picking at his one large tusk sticking out the right side of his face.
The two, not yet introduced looked at each other as they starred at the large man, then back to the man. Neither were in the mood to deal with him but when Mook's patience broke, he raised the Sabre over head and brought it down where the two stood.
Both dodge by jumping to the side and Lilith popped a soul candy to exit her Gigai. With hula-hoop zanpakuto in hand, Lilith was ready to deal with Mook.
As Yue jumped, she placed her hand on the silver bracelet and turned on her Fullbring. Her shadow swirled around her causing a dark purple aura to split her shadow into five wolf shadows. It then returned to normal, leaving a silver chest plate and a blue mark across her nose.
Both ready for combat charged at Mook, who looked a bit confused at what had just happened.
-------------
Jeanne moved closed to where her advance team had discovered. The hidden path right where the report said it would be. Moving the brush away or rather shooting it with a bala. Why should she bother touching brush with her lovely hands?
With the path cleared, she continued to move to the hidden house. The house where her real target is. The one she had been looking for so long and the reason she even took up the position as Commander.
Finally, you'll be mine and only mine. Jeanne thought as the view above the forest showed how close she was getting to Samyeru and his home.

A bright flashing lightshow and childlike shouts grabbed Sobek's attention. He lowered his arms to his sides and gazed upward with his one good eye at the boy on the rooftop.
"Hola mi amigo! Commo...commo....Howdy?"[/color] Adan shouted a greeting of sorts to the arrancar known as Jugo.
Jugo responded with a smile "Wha? Did you do that little man? That was a funny trick."[/color]
Sobek merely arched an eyebrow as he listened to the conversation and watched from where he stood atop a fountain. The younger arrancar was probably one of the ones they were supposed to catch, but Sobek wasn't in any hurry to fulfill Jeanne's wishes. It could be amusing to see how Jugo handled himself, and if he couldn't well then Sobek would be rid of another wouldbe usurper.

The man was enormous, especially next to the little Adan. The boy didn’t care, though. Size was irrelevant. He threw his arms behind his head, smiling at the larger arrancar as he received a rare reward for his antics: praise.
”Yup,” Adan answered with a closed-eye grin. He wondered if he could make friends with the larger arrancar—he was simply lonely the way he was now. After parting with Kaki and Stour, he hadn’t had much contact…well, aside from Kimiko, but he hadn’t seen much of her lately either. It would be nice to have a friend, or at least someone he could joke with.
Wishful thinking, perhaps. Pity. Adan would have enjoyed the company.
Character List "Let's eat, Grandma!" "Let's eat Grandma!" Commas save lives.
This small man was unfazed by Jugo's size, but it did not matter. Jugo liked the little man, he would be very entertaining. "What else can you do? Some entertainment will pass the time while I protect this thing." Jugo pointed to the obelisk behind him. Jugo may be big, he may look like a demon, but that doesn't mean he was bad.
Jugo was just a gentle giant who was caught up in a mission that he didn't want anything to do with. He didn't care if some Arrancar wanted to leave, he just wanted to be entertained.
He walked back to where he was seated. He sat back down, leaning against the obelisk, and watched Adan do his thing.
--------
Jeanne approached the ruined looking building. It was falling apart, at least to the untrained eye. This building was meant to look run-down to discourage anybody from entering.
As unimpressed with the building that she was, Jeanne knew that her target was just inside. So, as the young looking woman lifted her right palm and began to charge a cero. She couldn't help but smile at what was about to happen, it was just too good to be true.
Firing the cero, the home erupted in a blast of crimson energy, and charred ruined caught fire. Nothing remained of the once lovely home of Samyeru and Lilith. heavy smoke rose to the sky as Jeanne waited for him to emerge. "I know something like that won't stop you. Come on out." Her voice came deep inside the rubble, deep underground where the blast sent the canis arrancar.
He had just finished some meditation when the crimson blast shot him back down to the underground training area was. Charging a cero sphere, Samyeru cleared his path to see who had discovered and destroy his home. His shirt ripped by wood and the blast, he removed the cloth as he waved away the smoke.
It was too much to sniff out the attacker, but he can still see a silhouette of a person. Anger filled him as he came charging out, fist cocked back as he came from the smoke, and shot it forward at Jeanne. But it stopped two inches away from her face, she stood her ground as she stared at the closed fist before her.
"You're just a chi-SMACK" Interrupted by a hit from her iron maiden, Jeanne was not to be referred to as child. Sent through a couple of nearby trees, Samyeru caught himself midway and looked back at Jeanne. She looked familiar, but he was unsure why. A flashback to her frighten face made him wary of her, had he attacked her at one point in his life. But remembering would have to wait as she was above him, firing crimson spikes from her iron maiden.
Moving from them, several pierced his skin causing great pain. He can't fight this girl, she looked too much like child. His only hope was to run, and with a quick bolt, he started to. "I guess I'm on a wolf hunt." And off she was, trying her best to keep up with the faster wolf man.
--------
Yue and Lilith had troubles of their own. Mook proved to be far stronger then both had expected. Yue came charging in with her Kuonbakusaiken to hit the large gut of Mook, but that gut seemed to absorb the attack than take damage from it.
Bouncing back fast, Yue was sent toward a tree while Lilith tried to hold him off with one of her vortexes. But his strength was enough to hold off the small Arrancar from sucking any of his large appendages from entering the small holes.
"Shit, this guy is tough." Gritting her teeth, she looked back at Yue who was getting up. Then the shadow of Mook's sabre came over her fast. Yue, using her bringer's light, came in front of Lilith and produced her Pakku no hogo. The wolf head shaped shield held its own against the sabre, that is until Mook kicked the human girl away.
Lilith, not liking this at all grabbed her ring blade and sliced Mook's ankle. His scream could be heard for miles, but Jugo did not hear.
