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.
Shyra looked to her side seeing Tenshoku had easily caught up with her, which was expected since he was more than capable and probably was a usual; Shinigami before a hollow took a hold of him. She just seemed to look at him, almost a little sadly but she quickly scowled looking back in front of her as she ran, there were more hollow than expected, she just looked around the park at the group of hideous looking hollows, well weren't all hollow pretty nasty looking. Shyra hadnt bothered to count them, she just knew there was plenty and unusually. There wasnt always that many in one place at the same time. But either way they were going to get a good kicking with the three of them here.
Shyra immediately looked over to the other Shinigami whom she didnt know of, but he was taking on the hollows and releasing his Shikai. When she looked to the other side Tenshoku was too fending off a hollow or two, and well. Both these guys were proving to be highly skilled, it made Shyra smirk, it was nice to fight alongside some Shinigami who had a mighty punch, she was mostly used as an example back in Soul Society to fellow trainee Shinigami.
Shyra quickly locked her eyes on a hollow straight in front of her, she raced forwards her zanpakuto at her side ready to strike the hollow. She made a swift and high jump upwards and twisted her body her right leg following round as she sent it swinging with force towards the hollow's jaw. Her foot whammed into the hollow's boney jaw shattering its mask at the side into pieces. She was quick to then lean forwards so her bodyweight shifted forwards allowing her to lean in more towards the hollow, though she had remembered there were a couple of humans sitting nearby on some kind of date. She turned her head just seeing a hollow closing in on them. Shyra growled in anger before she sliced across the hollow in front of her to distract it. She use shunpo steps to get over to the humans and fast. She appeared before the hollow ready to attack the innocent souls, but Shyra was there driving the tip of her zanpakuto right the way through the hollow slaying it.
She yanked her blade out of the hollow and then made a glance over to Tenshoku and the other Shinigami, they had things perfectly under control, but she wondered what this Shinigami had been waiting for, this bunch of hollow or something more, something worst?
Tenshoku looked around at his shinigami allies, as well as the remaining hollow. There were two left. The shinigami seemed strong enough to get the other however, as Tenshoku had observed them. One, Shyra, hadn't even released her shikai, and was still making progress on destroying the hollow. Interesting. The other shinigami seemed to have a plant based zanpaktou. Spiky vines cut the arms of a hollow, and it fell. It seemed to be an effecient release indeed. It almost made Tenshoku wish that he was still a part of the soul society again, not yet being acquanted with the vaizards.
He shot a look at the two remaining hollow, and descided on a simple charge. Again, he was very quick, and could view these hollows simple movements, using them to his advantage. He went at a bit of a slower pace, to throw the hollows off as he approached. When one charged blindly at him, he went at a much quicker pace, confusing the hollow. As Tenshoku speeded on to the hollow that didn't charge, the one who did charge, fell, with a large THUMP! behind him. Tenshoku didn't pay attention to him for now. These hollow were incredibly weak, but he could feel a stronger prescence approaching. He could tell what it was, and it was the exact reason why he came outside today.... a Menos.
As he neared the hollow he was charging, he revealed his blade and slashed him. It was very quick, but still, he was surprised that the hollow didn't do anything. Only for a second, because he did. The hollow charged forward in a flash, bashing Tenshoku with his mask. He had never been head-bashed by a hollow before, and he hoped that it would be the last time. He headbashed Tenshoku before he could get a full slash across the hollow, parrying his blade back. This hollow was quick. Tenshoku went flipping backwards, then looked directly at the hollow. He saw a chance with one of his abilities, how to kill both of the hollows at the same time. He stuck his blade out at the hollow ahead of him as he went backwards onto the floor. He released a sharp press of reiatsu into his blade, which caused the following action. One of the large, one foot in length diamond crystals, flew at high speeds towards the hollows mask. Upon hiting it, it stuck into the mask, and the mask began to crack. One down, one easier one to go. He fell back onto the hollow which was already on the floor from Tenshoku faking him out. All Tenshoku had to do was stab into the hollows skull from behind.
Now there was calmness. Tenshoku stood in open ground, for the two hollows had been purified, and dissapeared. He stood their with the two shinigami. His formal excuse for helping them was this: He was having fun destroying hollow, and he absolutely despised hollow as well. His real excuse was this: He enjoyed the shinigami. They were both interesting in their very own ways, and Tenshoku enjoyed that. He wished he could stay friends with them, but he knew that would never happen. They were of two different societies, and they should have been feuding. Tenshoku didn't even know if they knew he was a vaizard yet. As he realized that he hadn't yet introduced himself to the male shinigami, he felt the intense reiatsu again. Menos....
Keikoku watched as the unknown being deafeated the remaining two hollows. He then turned his head to see the two humans on their date. The boy was frantically trying to calm the girl down. She was screaming about masked monsters and flying people that the boy kept insisting weren't there. Keikoku also felt the reiatsu of the approaching Menos. He strided over to the girl.
"You can see us, can't you?" he asked. The girl nodded in response. Keikoku then muttered, "I don't know why I didn't notice it earlier. I must have been too concerned with getting rid of those ugly hollows. But the fact you can see us means that you have a high reiatsu for a human, which partly explains why they were all gathering here. They must have been attracted towards you. Anyway, I suggest you leave now. There is about to be an even larger and more dangerous one of those creatures here soon. Take the boy and get as far as possible, and don't mention a word of this to him. We don't need him to start worrying, understand?"
The girl nodded and then insisted to her boyfriend that she would be fine if they could leave. The boy agreed, wanting the girl to act normal again, and took her hand as the stood up and walked away. The girl walked faster than the boy and ended up pulling him to move faster. Keikoku then turned to the other shinigami and the stranger.
"I am Keikoku Nushi, Squad 13 Vice Captain" Keikoku stated. "Who are you two?"
Shyra held her zanpakuto on its side just in front of her, another highly defensive stance about her, she shot her attention over to Tenshoku seeing he was being observant of the other Shinigami, she smirked a little at the plant based Shikai, it seemed to an exceedingly good job of wiping out hollow with little effort. She smiled to herself seeing that the two innocent people were going frantic, and somehow one seemed paticulaly strange as if she knew something, she could see them! There were many humans that had some sort of spiritual awareness in them, it was as if humans were getting more in touch with hollows lately, it made the Shinigami job's a little less difficult, having to fend off a hung bunch of hollow while having your mind on the human's could get chaotic, especially if more than 2 or 3 showed up, but thats where having two extra pairs of hands on the job helped.
Shyra watched as the two humans made a run for safety leaving just the three of them and two more hollows, but Tenshoku was already on the case. She noted his ability was high, as he took out 2 of the hollow quickly. She sighed quickly before lifting her zanpakuto ready to sheathe it back up, but yet another prescence was felt, something much stronger this time. A grin appeared on Shyra's face, a Menos, of course it was.
Her head turned sharply after hearing someone, it was the male Shinigami introducing himself. Shyra smiled faintly. A Vice Captain, that would be why he was so skilled in hollow hunting. ''Shyra Aiyln of the 10th squad 4th Seat'' she stated before looking back to Tenshoku.
Tenshoku supposed that it was time for introductions. He also supposed that it would be a little bit awkward. But he couldn't lie. "Nice to meet you both. My name is Tenshoku Taiyou, and I'm a vaizard," he said restrained, as he turned around and swallowed the gulp in his throat. The vaizard hoped that they wouldn't try to execute him on the spot. Tenshoku was still new to the world of vaizards, but he was pretty sure that vaizards and shinigami didn't like eachother too much. He felt a little tense as he turned away from the two vaizards, who he felt as though they were his freinds.
"This is so unethical.. Kill them now..."
"No..." Tenshoku said, under his breathe.
The menos approached, and he figured it was now or never. He ran ahead of the two shinigami whom had introduced themselves to him, searching for the menos's reiatsu. He didn't have to look far. He was just on the open part of the field, where the kids usually play soccer. There were no kids here now, if there used to be. Tenshoku got into his typical samurai fighting stance. There was only one way to destroy the menos, in Tenshoku's mind. He didn't feel the need to activate his bankai.. no, that would be cheating. The shinigami probably came for some fun too.
"Can anyone get-" Tenshoku was cut off. He rolled to the ground and out of the way of a huge cero, that would have obliterated him on contact. Tenshoku's adrenaline rose. "Can anyone get me a couple hundred feet into the air? I have a plan to kill him, but I'm open to suggestions."
Tenshoku stood there, facing the menos head on. This would be the final kill of the day before he would retreat back to base, and, most likely never make contact with these shinigami again.

So he is a vaizard... and a strong one at that, Keikoku thought, and she is a seated officer. At least I know they won't get in the way of my artwork too much...
The menos appeared, and Keikoku was just about to say something about strategy and making the fight beautiful until Tenshoku ran ahead to attack the menos head on.
"Hey! You didn't even wait to listen!" Keikoku shouted back. Then with a sigh he took off after him. His blade extended towards the menos, but he quickly lost focus when he was forced to dodge the giant cero.
"These things are even more ugly than regular hollows..." Keikoku muttered.
Shyra looked to the two and then smirked slightly but her attention was caught by Tenshoku who was now running off. She gave a sigh looking to Keikoku hearing him sat how he hadnt waited to even listen. She followed after Keikoku and noticed the Menos up ahead. She readied her zanpakuto just be precautious incase more came out from nowhere.
Shyra glanced to Tenshoku hearing him ask if anyone could get him up into the air, she looked to Keikoku and then back over to Tenshoku. ''I could try...but im not sure how i would be able to do that...'' she said thinking on the situation. She couldnt use shunpo to get him up there maybe she could use her Shikai to get him in the air, it was air based her Shikai.
As Tenshoku braced himself to be launched, Keikoku sped past him. He then thrust his blade foreward and said, "Iabara Nigiri!" His blade extrended foreward faster than it had before and wrapped itself around the Menos. Keioku pulled tight to make sure the ugly giant remained immoblie. The hollow fired a cero, but Keikoku jumped out of the way while keeping his tight hold on the Menos.
"Since you seem to want to dispose of it, I'll let you, if you do it fast. Or else I'll just have to take it down myself," Keikoku said, looking over his shoulder at Tenshoku.
