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.
Haburi sensed the attack and moving as fast as he could he deflected the blade with his right forearm but the blade nicked him leaving a scratch on him through his clothes but it was like a fingernail scratch nothing more.
"You struck me from behind and called me a coward? No matter I'm done with this verbal fight it's pointless and is getting us nowhere. And that won't work Hierro is among the strongest."
Haburi pointed his three fingers and shot a red bala which is twenty times faster than cero though not as strong because she was close enough to attack with a sword it would be near impossible to dodge even with her speed but everything is possible. The blast would leave burns and bleeding wounds and blast her back setting up the next attack he would have in store if that happened.

There was that loud sonic boom again as she slashed her sword at his attack, and the same cloth form before appeared. The Bala connected with the cloth, and it was bounced right back at Haburi with no discernible loss in speed, or damage capacity. Yumeji didn't seem bothered by the assault he made. She still had the same lazy look in her eyes.
Her sword was in it's scabbard almost by the time his Bala got to her, and she had her hand on the scabbard, and another on the hilt of her sword. "Yeah, I'm calling you a coward. Picking on humans like some jackass, begging for a fight, but too chickenshit to go after a target your size straight up," she said in a calm tone. "So now that you're facing someone more your own size, what will you do?" She watched him in a way that it was hard to tell what it was she were thinking, or even if she were taking this seriously.
"Speaking of your own size, aren't you a lil' short for a guy, aren't'cha??" she added with a stupid grin.

Haburi had already begun to move when he fired the blast for he had planned on his next move ((as stated earlier)) he was about 3 feet off the ground already so he tucked his legs and the bala passed underneath him destroying a house nearby. He spun backwards and landed he was about 8 feet in front of her.
"I'm beginning to understand now........."
Haburi stared at her blade......
"Tell me.......are you using shikai??? For there is a power in that blade that a sealed zanpakuto wouldn't have. And the fact that I could feel your blade when you tried to cut me.....it must be....."
Haburi knew she was trying to get in his head but it was a subconcious knowledge for he had outgrown emotions for they were for the weak.

She watched him calmly as he leapt over his own attack. The collateral damage turned her stomach, but she didn't show it at all. It was just an eerie, whimsical, calm aura about her, and it wouldn't crack, it seemed. It certainly took some sting out when she tried to e serious.
"Eh, I'm not telling you anything. 'll let you worry about it." she grinned at him playfully while she seemed too lazy to tell him at the same time.
"So, you've decided to stop fighting? Gunna leave the humans alone?" she watched him calmly, and almost looked like she'd break out into a yawn. She figured this knuckle dragger was gunna say no, but it was worth asking, and Tsubame agreed.
He was aching for a fight, and now he has one. It's not gunna end until someone ends it.
"They'd have my head if I quit and I already know you can't cut me so there isn't a point in quitting......and your fake confidence won't work.......I will assume you are in shikai there for I will take you seriously...."
His aura released in the air and the ground shook as he revealed his espada level power. Like Ulquiorra he unzipped his jacket to reveal his hollow hole making it easier for him to breathe. He would be faster and stronger now at full power. He stared for a second.....How would he approach? He had no idea. She was going to be faster than him so he needed to move quickly and try to get an arm on her then this would be over......He fired three bala out of his hand instantly these would be just as hard to dodge as the first then sonidoed 15 feet back and 10 feet up to prepare to continue his move......The battle would begin now......

Yumeji used her Swallow Buffet to buy herself a precious second or two as she used Shunpo to get out of the way. It was apparent that her energy defense wouldn't stop his upgraded Bala.
But she didn't run. Instead she appeared at his height, "Looks like I'm punching your ticket to hell." There was a sudden rise in spiritual pressure around Yumeji that seemed to match his own, but nothing seemed to happen beyond that. That's right. Absolutely nothing seemed to happen.
Her sword didn't change, she didn't change outfits, she didn't draw her sword, her hair wasn't even messed up. She just stood there as she had before.
"So you say I can't cut you? Just how confident are you feeling about that?" She posed a simple question with that smile on her face, "Or are you going to back pedal?" she chuckled, taunting him openly.
Haburi used that second or two extra to read her movement and immediately flew forward as fast as he could and reached out and grabbed at her throat.......He hoped she would be distracted by the exploding bala and the fact that she was beginning to talk and that second or two she bought she would have had her eye off of him and he knew where she would be.
Haburi would grab her throat with his right hand and squeeze it with his immense strength so she wouldn't get away and her conciousness would fade and charge a cero in his left hand to prepare to fire. It would not kill her but it would do immense damage for his cero is extremely powerful.
((If this attack lands you SHOULD be immobilized the next turn then I would finish it but that would only make since Idk though.))

Yumeji retaliated against his rise in spiritual power with her own, and she saw him coming at her, "Zan Dan Ken!" As he reached out to grab her, her sword slashed at him, and sought to slice him open at the abdomen right to the chest with a screaming fast slice with her scabbard boosting the velocity of her sword, making her slash stronger, and more likely to cleave into him.
If it didn't work, the crescent of energy that shot out in the wake of her slash, the Swallowtail Cannon maneuver, aughta put some pain on him with an attack that would hurt as bad as most any Cero.
It was her turn to fire at point blank range with high speed assaults.
The length of her sword kept her neck out of harms way as it put space between them.
'Did this lout think I wasn't lazy, and wasn't holding back?' Yumeji thought to Tsubame in the back of her mind. 'Apparently. He also thinks he's faster than you.' Tsubame replied with a chuckle. 'Apparently he's wrong.' she thought back at Tsubame.
(Yeah, no way you're steamrolling my character.)

Haburi reacted quickly and focused reiatsu at the point of attack and let an especially strong pulse escape through his hand which was now less than a foot away from Yumeji. This would have a two way effect. Haburi was only barely cut by the blade but would take the kidou attack full on however. Also, the pulse of energy would just be an invisible wall that would hit her just as hard as him swinging as hard as he could to hit her in the face so the blast would send her spiraling backwards. Haburi was also blasted backwards but he reached out to with his right hand and as arrancars can do grabbed the air and screeched to a loud stop. He had small burns on his upper right abdoman and a small cut.
The attack Haburi produced should be about impossible to dodge because it is not a set width and it moves instantaneously and it was less than a foot away the effect would be the same as if he had punched her at full strength in her face which she lacks physical strength....
"Hm......what you have in speed you lack in power.....I thought if I got you to take this even semi-seriously I would perhaps have to draw my blade but that's not the case...."
Haburi's clothes on his side were only a little torn because of his defense of his hierra the attack took little effect. Haburi pointed with his left hand in her direction and fired a cero which would be stronger and faster due to his power increase and his left hand is his dominant. He then put his hands in his pockets.
((You need to post a description of your attack in OOC so I know how it will effect me otherwise I'll have to decide. And I wasn't trying to steamroll just to get you to try :/ ALSO you need to take in account every aspect of your RP post because you are leaving openings then your suddenly acting like they were never there in your next post.. The speed difference isn't too great to where I can't land a hit...))

"Umph!" Yumeji found herself hit in the face by what seemed to be invisible, yet focused Reiatsu which sent her hurtling backwards, but she quickly recovered with the focus of her own Reiatsu to her feet as her opponent spoke so he had no opening to take advantage of. Even if there was one, her blazing speed kept those windows ever so small. He was prolly wasn't thinking enough to take advantage of them.
She smirked at him even though her jaw hurt, and she were bleeding in her mouth, "Not a very strong observation, there, bubby. My draw strikes add velocity to my cuts, and make up for some of my lack of brawn. It's some of the reason I'm really really fast." Yeah, she was hurt some, but she was good at not showing it. Brawny she isn't, but she's not exactly delicate either.
Reiatsu built under her feet, and she sidestepped quickly in a rapid move that wasn't quite a Shunpo, but enough to get her out of the way as she felt the heat of the beam next to her. "And what you have in power, makes you pretty damn slow in my book," she said calmly, "So we both have our strengths, and weaknesses."
She retakes her calm stance, hands on her sword more as if it were a cane than a weapon, "Incase you haven't noticed, I've been putting some hurt on you,and holding you off while not even in my fighting stance. Guess neither of us are being serious over this?" "Yeah, I'm still holding back. I'm sure you are, too," she said calm, then added, "Not that I care." She said not overly bothered as she watched him with those dull, listless eyes that she had for most of the fight. She looked bored enough.
"So, you decide to leave the humans alone, and stop throwing tantrums like a child?" she said in a calm, unshaken tone.
