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.

Kimiko started to move towards the scene when Adan said, "If ya can't keep up just meet me there."
Kimiko frowned and glared at the spot Adan had just disappeared from with a sonic buzz. 'Can't keep up?! As if...'
Kimiko vanished with Sonido to follow Adan.

Meanwhile the two arrancar appeared in front of an irate Ikkaku. They wore red and green tinted glasses and talked back and forth to each other like Ikkaku wasn't even there, like he was some dust that they would easily sweep under a rug. One of his eyes twitched and a vein throbbed on his forehead. They both jumped up in the air at the same time and tried to bring their pipe like weapons down on Ikkaku.
"AS IF!" He yelled furiously and brought his zanpakuto up to block the incoming pipes. As the pipes struck the three piece staff Sanmaru appeared between Ikkaku and the arrancar and stabbed at the one with the red glasses. Ikkaku could gripe at Sanmaru for interfering but after being hit with whatever had caused him so much pain even he had to welcome the help. Still as the pain was still letting up he was starting to get a second wind. He pushed back against the two pipes with all the strength he could muster and then swung his zanpakuto at the one with green glasses.

It seemed that the mess had other plans as the twin's attacks got block, but Jorgun was the only one attacked. He backed off holding the wound as Octagon attempted a backhand on Sanmaru. "Back off my brother!" He yelled as he too was cut by Ikkaku.
Jorgun got his point across by trying to kick Ikkaku like a football as Octagon back away holding his own wound.
The twins looked at each other, then nodded. They took manly posses and screamed, "Brotherly Love Cero!" And with that, each charged a cero in their mouths. They charged their Ceros with manliness and each with a corresponding color that matched their glasses.
The were not as smart alone, but together...they can be as smart as one person. They had know idea that Jeanne just left them or rather forgot them. She didn't care whether they returned or not, but they didn't know that. The only thought that went through their curly heads was the finish what Jeanne started.
They fired their Ceros at all of them, but who can stop such a force of red and green?
Samyeru stirred restlessly, the energy in the air causing him to drift in a nightmare. Whimpers and the name Lilith kept coming out of his mouth.
Sanmaru was not the best with a sword, and so perhaps it should not have been surprising that the arrancar was able to land a solid blow. He was knocked aside - but more importantly, his glasses were knocked off of his face. Damn it!
He couldn't see a thing - he squinted as one of them kicked at Ikkaku, and he tried to ready his sword in defense. There was little that he could do without his sight except close his eyes and try to sense them. It was easier said than done - he knew where they were, and how much reiatsu they exerted, but what they were doing he couldn't tell.
Kaki noticed when Sanmaru was sent aside, and she saw his glasses fall to the ground. She didn't want to leave Hotaru, and she knew that Sanmaru wasn't worth pity. From what she had seen, he was a little like Xuan - just not as loud about it.
Still, it was the way the man faced just a little in the wrong direction that worried her. He could get killed, and easily.
He lost his glasses?
Kaki could see them too - they landed just near where Samyeru had been moments before. If she could get to them, she could give them back and he could keep fighting.
But there wasn't time for that - the two arrancar stood together and took poses. She started to shake - she hated arrancar, and men, and she was surrounded by them. She remembered, briefly, Xuan tossing her carelessly into her cell. Forcing herself, Kaki took a ready stance, and as their mouths started to glow, a hand went to her face. It took less than half a second to draw her mask - and she knew she wouldn't have time for her own cero. Instead, she brought her sword back as far as she could.
"Ikoi," she growled, knowing that her hands would suffer for this, "Tsuku!"
As the cero shot at her and Hotaru and Samyeru - and the human - she swung her umbrella and hoped for the best.
Sanmaru held out a hand from where he knew the brothers were, shouting, "Hado number thirty-nine: Enkosen!"
Masaru had rolled out of the cero's path, grunting as he did. He wanted to get back to the vizard and the girl, but with the green flooding the place he wondered if they were even there. "Shit--"
As the cloud of dust cleared, he realized that they were still there - mostly unharmed. The little girl's hands were charred, the sleeves of her shirt burned off, and she was covered in dirt. He looked up to his partners, noticing that Sanmaru had errected some bakudo or another, and was fine aside from looking just a bit out of breath, and his bakudo having broken. Actually, Sanmaru had a few scratches and burns on his skin from hastily casting his spell, but Masaru couldn't see from where he was.
Masaru's style wasn't filled with sneak attacks, but they weren't playing fair either. He swirled Sazanami around loosely at his side, and then whipped it at Jorgun.

Ikkaku's zanpakuto cut into Octagon, but a moment later he was punted backward by Jorgun. He landed several feet away and and as he looked up the two took up manly poses and screamed.
"BROTHERLY LOVE CERO!"[/b]
"Yer kidding..." Ikkaku tried to get out of the way but the edge of the blast sent him sprawling across the rubble. One hand shook as it planted into the ground and Ikkaku's face lifted from the debris with a little bit of blood coming from the side of his lip. His face was smudged with dirt as were his robes.
"Okay that's it," He got up and wiped his lip with one hand. Then he grinned and narrowed his eyes, "You two are going down!" He gave a warcry as he charged and jumped at the pair whirling his zanpakuto and bringing it down in a flurry.
Sanmaru seemed to lose his glasses somewhere during the fight and wasn't being much help at the moment but maybe Ikkaku could keep their attention long enough for him to recover.

Yue had nowhere to go, she was far more injured then she had thought, and now these freaks are sending out something with the most ridiculous name ever at them. What could she do? There was nothing in her power to do anything, but by instinct, she placed her body over Samyeru as if in an attempt to shield the injured man.
The blast hit and the brothers thought they had won. In response to their 'victory', they pair started to hit each other in the arm with rather goofy smiles. Their rambles and congrats on who was better drowned out the releases of a shikai and a kido spell. They were so busy messing with each other that they didn't know that the ceros were blocked.
However, when Jorgun was hit, the two looked shocked. Jorgun fell to his knee as Octagon looked on in anger. "Y'ALL PAY FOR THAT!" As Octagon gripped his pipe and lifted it to strike Masaru, he stopped.
From behind him, Ikkaku had managed to strike the giant several times. Octagon fell down, face first into the ground. Jorgun grabbed his brother by the shoulder, lifting him over his shoulder. Jorgun, being the smarter of the two knew they were no match for the shinigami. Though he cursed it under his breath, Jorgun tried to open a garganta to escape with his brother. Whether anyone allows them has yet to be seen.
{Feel free to allow them to leave or just straight up kill them}
As the brothers prepared to leave, Sanmaru considered going after them. Frankly, without his sight he wasn't going to be much for defense, and the two brutes could probably snap him like a twig. Instead, he held his sword at the ready, listening for the garganta to close.
Kaki, on the other hand, took that time to remove her mask. Her hand trailed to her face, and she lifted it off to remove it. The second it was off, she regretted it. Now she could feel how her hands burned and throbbed, and she dropped her sword on the ground. When she brought her hand to her face, she realized that she had a scar from when Xuan's whip wrapped around her hand.
"Takeda," Sanmaru called, "Did you see where my glasses fell?"
"Somewhere down there," Masaru answered, pointing downwards rather than anywhere specific. "Shouldn't be hard t'find."
Kaki stuck out her tongue. She slipped her hands into her pockets - well, Adan's pockets - and trotted off towards the crater. It wasn't hard to find Sanmaru's glasses - they were shiny and thick-framed, and they didn't blend in with the scenery at all. She reached down to pick the shinigami's spectacles up, then lifted and waved them around above her head. "I got 'eeeeeeeeeem."
As the two shinigami looked down, Kaki frowned. She wished one of them would just take the stupid things - she didn't like how the one sort of smiled to her while Sanmaru glared/squinted down at her.
"I could throw them off somewhere and then you can find them, if you don't want them back," she said, trying to break the uncomfortable silence it brought on.
Hotaru glanced to Kaki, shooting her sister a "don't be rude" look. Of course - it was just like Hotaru to worry about politeness when there was a guy who normally wanted them dead hanging around.
But the man shunpoed down to Kaki's level and took the glasses, slipping them onto his face. They were broken pretty badly, twisted in some areas and cracked in each lens. But the man stopped squinting, and didn't really look at her. Instead, he looked towards some trees.
"YAHOOOOOO - oh, am I late?"
Adan stood in the air, sword drawn and stump glowing with a cero. He glanced around, pouted his lips, and shoved his hands in his pockets. After a moment, he looked to Kaki.
"Hiiiii Kaki-chan!" he yelled, grinning. "How've ya been?"

Ikkaku's rage filled swings had managed to topple one of the giants, Octagon, and his brother quickly realizing they were no match for the combined force of shinigami decided to open a garganta to get them outta there. Ikkaku grumbled as Jorgun quickly snatched up his brother to leave.
"Oh, now you wanna run? You were so eager a minute ago. Well, don't forget your parting gift..." Ikkaku ranted briefly as he shunpoed over to kick Jorgun in the ass as he clumsily headed into the garganta with his brother over his shoulder.
Ikkaku's zanpakuto reverted to its Naganata shape and he put it over his shoulder as he scratched his chest with his other hand.
"Tsk,..." He'd wanted to kill the two, but it was more important that they help those here.
Just about the time Ikkaku turned from the black garganta, Kimiko shunpoed in along side the others. Ikkaku looked towards her and complained.
"'Bout time you got here, sorry to say you missed the show.
"Anyone hurt?" Kimiko asked glancing around the scattered debris.

The gartanta closed but Yue was still over Samyeru's unconscious form. It looked as if cuts have sealed and bruises were disappearing. She didn't know if it was from the girl's healing or was it an ability that the man had. She felt so bad for him, not being able to save his sister. She can only guess how that would feel if she couldn't protect her brother.
For some reason she couldn't stop herself from staring at him. Despite being an Arrancar, she felt a sort of tinge in her heart. She blushed a little when she realized she was just staring at him and quickly adjusted herself.
She wasn't being very subtle, though she hoped no one noticed. She would have gotten up and walked home, but she was very tired.
Soon another Arrancar came followed by another Shinigami. It didn't seem that the one missing a hand was dangerous, though who knew now. The one looking like a kid was certainly dangerous, but it seemed he knew the green haired girl
The bald shinigami went on complaining and talking to the new Shinigami woman. Yue just wanted to go home, but stayed to make sure that Samyeru was ok as well. The feeling in her chest was really starting to annoy her. She held her chest as she let out a sigh. Her free hand ended up on Samyeru's who gripped it softly. Her eyes went wide at this but didn't move out of fear - fear of being embarrassed.
"Another one?" hissed Sanmaru, turning to the arrancar with his sword at the ready. Kaki, however, waved back.
"Adan-san!" she yelled, lighting up and waving. It was good to see Adan again - maybe he was a little cheesy but there was never a dull moment with that guy around. Besides, he'd saved her. It was hard not to be happy to see a person who saved her. "You're here too?"
"Nope!" he chirped. In a flash of Sonido, he appeared behind Sanmaru, his stump glowing and crackling. "I'm right here!"
Sanmaru slashed at Adan, but Adan hopped out of the way.
"Aww, it's harmless," Adan groaned, rubbing his eye with his still-glowing arm. He held it against his cheek to demonstrate. "I've had enough fightin' for a day."
"Eh?" Masaru huffed, indignantly looking around. "Why...I give up."
Hotaru looked to Yue's hand in Samyeru's, and smiled softly. "Samyeru-san? Are you awake?"

Kimiko looked over the scene she had arrived at taking everything in a bit at a time, the crater and general destruction, and signs of those wounded while Ikkaku shrugged. It wasn't anything he couldn't handle but there were those who were still hurt, and Sanmaru had lost his glasses. The bald shinigami glanced up at the appearance of Adan after having told Kimiko she missed the show, but added.
"Huh, maybe not," Tightening his grip on his zanpakuto again as Adan sonidoed around. Sanmaru took a swing at Adan's quickly dodging form and whiffed big time.
"Aww, its harmless, I've had enough fightin' for a day." Adan groaned as he hopped out of the way and rubbed his eye with the glowing tip of his arm.
Kimiko stepped past Ikkaku and put a hand on his shoulder. "Relax guys, Adan is fine." Her voice directed towards him and Sanmaru, Masaru thankfully didn't seem to care. She hoped they would just let it be, but if they decided to question her about it she was ready to defend him.
Ikkaku eyed her suspiciously. Kimiko being all chummy on a first name basis with an arrancar kid, then again he wasn't in any hurry to attack the fallen Arrancar that had asked that they save the girls. Maybe it just wasn't worth a good fight, to attack the already wounded arrancar. He rested his zanpakuto back against shoulder and kinda shrugged and rolled his eyes.
"Tsk, whatever." Speaking of the human, or rather having thought about her after thinking about the Arrancar, Ikkaku glanced over towards her and pointed her out to Kimiko. "When did arrancar start giving a damn about others? That one was pretty messed up, but still managed the strength to ask us to save the girls."
"Really?" Kimiko looked over at the wounded arrancar and the girl who held his hand, walking over to find out what happened. She stooped down next to Samyeru and Yue and would offer to help heal if someone weren't already. For the moment she looked at Yue curiously. She put her hand up to her chest as she introduced herself.
"My name is Kimiko, do you know this man?" Kimiko asked Yue, referring to Samyeru. "Can you tell me what happened?"
