"Yes, I'd much prefer a different, new, and exciting form of death and destruction."

Kamui's lip curled in to a grin as the girl channeled her energy to her legs and jumped away from his incoming projectiles. So she had the capacity to increase her physical parameters with her energy, that was something interesting to note. Kamui watched as not only did she accelerate her physical parameters, but also managed to kick up a large piece of the metal ground to use as a running wall. Even if it was a feat of physical strength he expected from someone of her caliber, it was still rather impressive to witness. The spine chilling sound of ice smashing in to metal emanated through the area, denting and occasionally punching through the material with each strike as Kamui trained his arrow on her running form and as soon as she rose above that sheet of metal, the man would exhale and the arrow would be set loose, aimed straight for the girl. Unfortunately for her, she made the mistake of thinking a barrier would be the best way to handle this particular attack. Just as the arrow was about to strike the barrier, the weight of the arrow itself would reach catastrophically absurd levels, effectively ramping its destructive power when combined with its current momentum to ridiculous levels. Lucky for the girl, she didn't stay still and the trajectory would be slowed just enough, momentarily, for her to continue moving out of the way, but the barrier she had constructed wasn't going to stop an attack designed specifically to break through barriers as Kamui's own personal bunker buster blew right through her barrier. Unfortunately, it didn't blow right through her, which was the objective.

After the shot had been fired, the bow seemed to evaporate in to fragments of light as the previous incarnation of an umbrella formed back in his hand as he watched the girl creep across the sky. Then she did something that he, honestly, was not really prepared for. Her attacks held a very striking similarity to Eidos. She was manipulating the very foundation of the world around her. What she was doing wasn't Eidos, it was a little more organic and unstructured, but what she was doing was the most Sugiuran act that Kamui had ever seen outside of his own people. It was incredibly amusing. He was lucky Neoveta had tagged out for Rose, she was substantially the more interesting of the two. As the winds rained down on him, a strange form of word association, Kamui first raised his left hand and as the mass of sand cascaded down toward him, the first spell was triggered. All the sand, all the loose particles, would divert off course and begin swirling around the man as the smoke had done before and as the winds began to blow the smoke particles away, they too would be caught on their way out. The girl had succeeded in chased Kamui out of the cover of the smoke, but the smoke itself was only blown a few meters behind him before Kamui's spell caught the mass of loose particles. Kamui's opposite hand would raise immediately after as a second spell would follow next, catching the incoming larger pieces of debris the girl had tried to fling at him, unfortunately as soon as they began to encroach on his air space, they would suddenly go in to full reverse and fly back to where they had been flung from, as if reality itself had decided they weren't going to go the same direction any longer. With the Density Manipulation coiling the sand dust and smoke particles around him and the Multiple Bounce rejecting the larger pieces of debris, that left one encroaching assault left unmet.

Spoiler:

Anyone could throw dirt and rocks at him, that wasn't very interesting, but that was hardly the extent to what she did. In fact, if Kamui had not already activated his Bateria Szemek, he probably would not have even been able to see what had changed. It was amusing that Rose lived in the land of this "code" that she saw, it was even more amusing that the Sugiurans had been living in that same world since they were created. Kamui could see the fundamental warping and shifting of reality in the form of Eidos that swirled around all things, he doubted the "code" they saw was identical, but the two could definitely influence each other. Kamui knew that, but he wasn't sure Rose did, at least not yet. Sugiurans were rare, much more so than he would have liked, and even if Rose had run in to one, very rarely did they bring the full extent of their magical abilities to bear against...well...anyone. He doubted she had much of an opportunity to see the use of Eidos before, much less understand how strikingly similar their abilities were. That'd be a temporary advantage he could exploit, the bigger questions was just how temporary would it be?

As the wind, specifically altered to punch through the current "code" encroached upon him, Rose would hit probably her first real snag in their altercation. The code of Kamui's barrier changed. Those gleaming gold eyes of the Suiguran Prince was able to read how she had altered the wind and in turn, changed the activation sequence, the "code" of his own spell ever so slightly. It was theoretically possible to "phase" through an object if you were able to completely mimic its molecular structure, but one slight aberration and those constructs will clash and smack in to each other, the same concept applied here. The wind smacked in to Kamui's interference armor and glanced off, being harmlessly thrown off to the side as if it were a calm summer breeze. Kamui turned his attention up toward the girl and, for the first time in this encounter, a genuine smile was on his face.

"You would have made a great Sugiuran, it's a shame you were born otherwise."

As those words left his lips, the mass of smoke, dust, and sand that had amassed behind him launched up at the moving Rose as if it were a massive snake of loose particles, snapping up at her small form in an attempt to engulf her and most definitely not relenting if she chose to attempt to evade as Kamui seemed rather intent on running her down with this beast of particles as Kamui's hands reached inside of his clothes, grabbing three more bombs and throwing them up in to the air, two of the normal smoke bombs and one of his special Di̱li̱tí̱rio gas bombs. A normal person would probably be unable to differentiate between the three at all, but Kamui had a sneaking suspicion that Rose would not be normal in this case and as the new mass of smoke began to swirl around Kamui's feet, that devilish grin seemed to threaten to creep right off his face. She was beginning to amuse him, hopefully that continued. He might have to keep her if this kept up.

He was in search of a different form of destruction, eh? The same sentiments could almost be felt from the Primera Espada. While the Arrancar were a savage race filled with the embodiment of humanity's worse traits, it didn't equal to her being amused by this repetitive sight of unending war. Maybe apart of herself wanted a taste of something new to accelerate her own evolution further. Perhaps that is why she was drawn here.

"So what would you have in mind? Enlighten me."

Intense. That's the one of the first thoughts which passed through the mind of Rose before millions of others soon cleansed it when it was focused back on the fight at hand. Even without the need for origin code, it was apparent that her attacks were repelled and flung backwards at her. However, those bubble-gum lit eyes of The Primera was able to see the fibers of intricate magical code that made this battle more engaging than the naked eye could hope to comprehend alone.

Therefore, with that said, these instructions written into the coding of his attacks seemed to indicate that the debris and rocks were going to be flung towards her direction. However, given how quickly these turn of events became, Rose was somewhat surprised that they were able to be rebound so quickly and ended up getting hit upside the head with a piece of metallic debris. However, while her vision became raddled and head shook like a rattle snake, she understood it was better to keep moving and use her armor to bare the damage. It was just a sign she couldn't relax in this battle; or else further negative results such as that could occur.

Henceforth, she'd cut to the chase and release a large volume of energy out of the pores of her skin. This would result in The Primera having a cluster of white energy expand from her body and serve as a means to destroy the rest of the scattered debris. Hopefully, in the process, rendering everything to smoke. As, when it was broken down, she would utilize her Origin Code to break down and repel the smoke towards space since it was such a basic element to wipe away from the battlefield.

In exchange, however, the sand would have to be dealt with later. So, she leaped back to the ground and smirked. There was a slight pause to chuckle at that thought before her mind started whirring with electric perception. The world was nothing but strings of coding waiting to be analyzed, altered and made to fit her ideal reality. She could identify the systematic flow of the universe and comprehend the intricate layers of arranged magic being utilized on the field. From her early estimates and analysis, the type of perceived magic he was using seemed to be based around scientific value. That is, all of the particles of the space she saw being manipulated followed a strict protocol and adhered to a hard string of logic behind them.

"Interesting."

Was all she could mutter after coming to that conclusion and following it up with another theory: ability awareness. The second those two spells went into effect, The Primera paid keen attention the males sudden change in eye gleam. While it wasn't viable to the naked eye, Origin Code kept Rose's senses at an ethereal level. She could see the strands of coding which reflected one thing: "realization". The Arrancar could outright feel strings of his coding beginning to scan and overlap her body as if she were a piece of equipment passing through an X-Ray machine.

Though, she wouldn't pay it much mind. It seemed one of her tactics misfired and she would have to adjust it properly in the future. Therefore, The Primera Espada eyes squinted and she scanned the barrier deeper to realize that the particles around it were moving at tremendous speed. Henceforth, because this phenomenon was taking place before Rose's very eyes, she deduced that a deceleration of said particles would be enough to cancel out the barrier.

Ergo, without wasting time, The Royal Mischevang would send a plum of white energy outwards to surround Kamui's barrier. Once it was rooted around him, the vortex of pale energy would send ways of white light around him in order to program the construct of deceleration in order to cease their kinetic output and break the dome. From there, she would utilize Origin Code to induce a rapid increase in volume and energy in order to create her own explosion capable of defying the males eardrums, sucking air straight out of his lungs and causing a force of over pressure on the tissue of his skin in order to place his body under a tremendous amount of stress.

"You think so? They sound pretty fun if they are capable of all this!"

Even though this was a high-speed battle of immense proportions, Rose would spare the time to respond to the male's dialogue; if only for a few seconds. This was because she was already rolling with Origin Code's current "deceleration" function to have her unique ability flow through her spiritual energy, form a wall of pink energy and use it to cease the movement of the encroaching attacks and have them halt right they stood in the best case scenario. It took a bit of nit and grit to form, as energy was slowly leaving her and her stamina was working big time to produce these feats at fast speeds. It was certainly giving her one hell of a warm-up!

Regardless, however, if they were unable to be stopped, then the Primera Espada would grit her teeth, endure the damage and try to dissolve it by releasing a high volume of energy and dispelling the attack by vaporizing it. This, in turn, would begin to have her armor lower in potency and strain her mind from the sudden shock of being hit. So, the shockwaves would be felt in her legs and she'd feel a gnawing pain at her legs and arms from the impact blast if this worse case scenario took place.

So, no matter of what occurred, she wouldn't let herself be a still target. As a result, The Primera Espada kept up her movement and accelerated the motion in her legs to greater heights. Sweating, gritting her teeth and feeling the burst of adrenaline rush through her; this leap of fanatic speed would have her dart to nearly instantly upwards of ten meters. This is because there was a high amount of chemical concentration detected in one of the bombs Kamui unleashed.

Thus, rather than risk it, she aired on caution and leaped back. And, in doing so, she would remotely channel into the particles of her spiritual energy that were steadily surrounding the area with each dash she took. When this feat was performed, she'd be able to create three small pink spheres from the trail of energy which resembled a path of flames left in the wake of her speed. These would serve as dense barriers meant to entrap the bombs.

With instructions and planned trajectory path encrypted into these spheres by origin code, she'd hope to use her minds immense processing ability to out-speed this movement and drag the bombs across a distance of two hundred meters to have them detonate within the contain spheres before being broken down and disposed of by the extreme heat of her energy acting as a means to burn though the poisonous compounds.

At this point, when she ceased movement, Rose worked up a pretty good sweat and could certainly feel her heart-bate ticking a few notches faster. So, as she breathed quickly, the Primera would remove the sweat from her brow and cock a playful smirk at the male.

"Well, shit, this is getting good. It's been awhile since I've seen someone with THAT kind of awareness. Something tells me you see the world like I do."

Odd. With the way she was speaking there was almost a sense of comradery felt. As if they were two of a kind in the way they manipulated the coding of the word to benefit them. It was a peculiar feeling and one that drew in her interest. So she was very curious to see this thing through to the end out the sheer thrill of this type of battle.

"So tell me: what will you do next?"

Kamui's grin widened further as he saw the girl defend herself. It was a real shame, he wished he had more time and energy he could spare for her. Unfortunately, he did not. He had an objective on this moon and despite the side he had been aligned on, that objective was not defending Sector B. All the same he wasn't really a fan of running when he did not have to. He would try to end this soon. Of course, that was easier said than done against a being such as Rose and even Kamui's version of "end" would be temporary. If he had the time, he might have been able to kill her, but even if he had any desire to do so it would expend far too much of both his time and his energy, he wouldn't be able to accomplish his true objective. In the short term, that answer was even the answer to her question. The grin widened further still, seeming to draw a curved line straight across the man's face. What did he want to do? That was truly an expansive question and it was one that he didn't want to truly answer. Shadow Fall was a major entity and as confident as he was in himself he knew he was barely a match for Neoveta or Rose individually, he wasn't delusional or daring enough to tempt open confrontation with the entire organization, even less so when they were so much more useful fighting everyone but Kamui himself. Still though, he felt she deserved an answer.

"The greatest moment of growth begins with the smallest push, no? So what would happen to the world if it wasn't a small push, what would happen if I shoved it right off the damn cliff?"

As the sand and smoke drove up toward her, Kamui's hand extended toward the sky and his cloud of tiny misery and closed slowly in to a fist. As he did so small particles of sand, lost amid the sea that cascaded upon the woman, coalesced together, tightly packed grain upon grain. The larger pieces of debris Rose herself had created had met with a little success though, one of the smaller pieces had managed to strike her crown. Unfortunately for Kamui, it didn't really have the effect a large piece of metal should have crashing in to a small girl's head, the metal seeming to bounce off like it had struck a suit of armor. That explained what the coding around her was. It didn't look like a normal Arrancar's Hierro. Kamui had run in to a few of her species, tortured a few of them for information, killed a few more, and he understood for the most part what made them tick. Rose was much different than what he was used to however, this Hierro was special, perhaps due to the way she could manipulate her version of Eidos like a Sugiuran.

The rest of the debris did not have the same impact however as she quickly threw up a little more aggressive counter measures. It was an outward explosion of energy that propelled the incoming sand and debris off course. It was humorous, her tactic was interestingly similar to Kamui's interference armor, yet was a little more wild and aggressive. Interestingly, that comparison seemed to apply to them as a whole. Kamui had more technique and structure behind his movements and calculations, his opponent matched that was wild ingenuity and aggression. It really was a shame, if she had been born a Sugiuran her potential would rival his own, probably even exceed it. It was unfortunate, but it happened...for now people could not help what race they were born to. However, therein lied Rose's major disadvantage in their conflict, experience. Not in general combat mind you, in general combat she was likely much, much older and more experienced than Kamui's mere seventeen years of life, but she had never really combated a Sugiuran before...meaning she had no idea how to fight someone who fought like she did. She had never seen someone who could play with the coding of reality like she could, she had never fought anyone who could match her greatest strength in direct contention. She didn't have the necessary experience determining what code mattered and what was junk. No one would be able to fool her like Kamui could, even if he was not the being of deceit.

He could not engage her just yet however. He saw the code coming in and understood the heat that would follow. Consequently, he had no intention to stay there. The plume of energy circled around him, eroding through the interference armor. Thankfully, the process took more than enough time for Kamui to perform his evasion. As the plume encompassed his location and the explosion followed, Kamui was suddenly no longer there. In his place was a block of sand, a block of sand that would, quite quickly, be incinerated to nothing but vapors by the heat around it. Kamui however was now level with Rose in the air. The sand in the air had not remained idle however, Kamui obscured by it only for a moment as it attempted to to swirl around the girl in the air, looking to cut her off as the orbs behind her could absorb in some of the loose sand particles, but not enough of them to stop the swarm of sand. As the swarm attempted to swarm around her, Kamui was forced to utilize his Cantus. The man's eyes shifted to the trajectory the girl was on, a small smile of satisfaction forming as the entire air space lit up with Active Air Mines as Kamui sought to shepherd her movement in to a small sphere.

She had been, for the majority of their exchange, focusing on remaining mobile and avoiding getting tied down. If that pattern of behavior persisted, she'd be constantly looking for a way out, for an escape. That was a good instinct, but based on how strong her Hierro seemed, it seemed like she was relying on it, thinking if she stayed mobile and avoided direct hits that the defensive capabilities of it would protect her from whatever came her way. That was what Kamui hoped was the second weakness. Kamui knew that the girl was used to looking for code in her reality and conventional attempts to distract and confuse her would never truly work, she could see the "truth" behind the deceit. However, her truth was something that Kamui could manipulate, she had never had to read someone who could fight like that before. It was likely to be a harsh lesson.

Kamui did not relent with the active air mines as explosions would continue to detonate all around Rose, forcing her every which way and, most importantly, writing Eidos upon Eidos upon itself in location after location. The "truth" of the world, the code, was getting rewritten constantly as mine after mine jettisoned concussive force constantly around her. Just as a human would get lost and confused staring at large walls of code at first glance, he believed Rose would be unable to keep track of so many different pieces of reality being overwritten so frequently. And then the haymaker. After he had forced her to move around, stretched her out, then from the center of the dome he had sought to form around her, the kinetic and rotational energy of the very molecules in the air began to spin out of control as the surplus energy exploded outward as heat, a giant wave of fire exploding outward and encapsulating the entire dome, looking to burn straight through everything in its way until the very air itself was burned through.

And for someone else, that might have been enough of it. However, Kamui had the same level of awareness that she did and he knew as much as anyone could from sheer observation what the girl's Hierro was capable of. Inferno was not the haymaker, it was the bait and the catalyst. As the explosion of fire expanded, it generated Kamui's greatest weapon, light. As the light shot out, Kamui specifically impacted three "rays" of light, one aimed at each knee and the final one aimed straight for her forehead. Before the flame could really be given a thought, the rays of light would look to "pass" through Rose's body. It wasn't a conventional attack, it wasn't something a shield could stop. There was nothing to block, nothing to deflect, nothing to absorb...nothing to prevent the phenomenon of the "light passed through, therefore a hole was made" from taking place. If she did not develop a counter measure, a way to both predict the ability and move out of the way, then three holes the size of a quarter would be made on her body, one in each knee and one in the center of her forehead.

Kamui did not wish to kill her based on his previous dealings with Arrancar, it took a lot more to put one down than it would for a majority of other races. This wouldn't kill her but if he was lucky, Kamui would have put her out of comission for the foreseeable future. Rose was someone he was going to need, he couldn't afford her getting in the way of his plan on the moon. Even still, he had expended way too much energy assembling that chain of spells. Kamui was going to have to take his leave soon whether the tactic had succeeded or not. He couldn't waste anymore energy on anyone other than Azure at this point.

"Next, I'm going to go give life that shove."

"I'd imagine with a push like that, the whole damn world would be in a frenzy. And, I'm not going to lie: I'm somewhat interested to see that."

Rose was a person of many truths and she very rarely never spoke her mind. So, in this case, she was intrigued if only to serve her own interest in being placed into different situations to advance and evolve her own technological pursuits and inventions. With Hueco Mundo in a state of uncertainty, The Mischevang all but missing or dead and with the duties of being a fill-in Queen being drab; the only thing The Primera felt she had left was the gift of code and it is why she submerged herself in that world.

It was a power that was meant to construct and design an ideal reality within an un-ideal world. For when her life was torn into shambles, the code was at The Primera's side and it was always there to build a solid foundation above the ashes of her barren existence. So even while she may be alone in these times, as long as she could still feel that electric current of the universes code flowing through her veins and coursing through her eyes, there was still time and opportunity to change the tide of her life. And that is exactly what she would do here.

As the male substituted himself with vast quantities of sand, The Royal Mischevang already understood that he was coming straight for her. So, she'd chuckle and simply say these words:

"Come and get me then!"

In that moment, there was a shine of green, silver, purple and red colors rotating around the pupils of Rose's eyes. This is because it was the first time in quite the while that she needed to actively push her Origin Code to such heightened extents. Most people would have simply killed over by this point, or resort to using abilities which could be remedied quite easily with her prowess. So to fight on par with someone who yielded an insight quite similar to her own was an invigorating experience. And, it was an experience that she hoped to use the data from to further her own progress and her engineering to the next level.

Without further delay, The Primera Espada, in all her energized frenzy, would let out a playful laugh and release high units of energy from her reaitsu. Activating Origin Code at the same time this power was unleashed, she planned to use the heat of vaporization in order to exterminate most of the remaining sand in the area. That way, she could focus on the actual fun stuff heading her way as she continued to laugh with child-like glee. Since, at this point, the adrenaline was pumping through her body like a raging fire and her mind was moving at the speed of lightning.

Filled with accelerated thought and wonder, the world was filled with vivid colors and the coding of the universe was moving at increased speeds to the point where her own processing ability started to become enhanced. This improvement in her cybernetic brain allowed for Rose to store vast amounts of short-term information, decode them at lightning speeds as the electric impulses of her brain quickened and the series of neurons within her head were now functioning at an all time high thanks to being placed in a situation where she was forced to use the heightened capacities of her mind.

Therefore, by reaching into her memories, the stimulated state of Rose's brain was able to reconstruct the practice of destructive interference through Origin Code. In order to deal with the vibration waves of Kamui's endless attacks, The Primera Espada released a burst of white energy in all directions. This eruption of energy particles would have a intricate series of programs inscribed into them. Operating on a metaphysical level and breaking the fundamental laws of physics, Rose intended to cancel out the opposing waves of Active Air Mine by producing an opposite amplitude via her energy being the medium, this would then be followed by the crest of their waves meeting and resulting in a total lowered amplitude overall.

Indeed, it was no easy work to keep track of reality being constantly overwritten, but this is why Rose was pushing herself and unlocking the potential of her mind and powers through the usage of Origin Code. The more intricate the language of universe around her became, the deeper the urge within The Primera's body became to understand it, decode it and apply to practical usage became. So, while her physical body was seen sweating extensively at this point; to the point where steam was rising from her skin and reddening it, the mind of The Espada was anything but tired and was content with burning through her energy to experience this ecstasy of thought and ability.

"Everything...is....so fucking vivid! Keep it coming!"

Clear, clear, clear and more clear. Even as the world erupted into a series of ungodly flames, the brain of The Espada still flourished with life and found itself keeping up with the infinite waves of code being thrown at her. This time, she was observing the Inferno spell activated by Kamui. It seemed that all of the kinetic and rotational energy within the battlefield had been decreased to a great extent. So, given his previous oscillating talents, it was apparent enough that all of the energy gathered was going to be swung back like a pendulum and hurled at her in order to vaporize The Primera.

Although, her solution to the problem was simple: use the stone and rock of the moon to act as a barrier to absorb the heat. With her quick thinking, Rose was able to gather a large amount of stone in an extremely short amount of time by producing a code which had her energy be utilized like a magnet. It was meant to attract all the stone in the area, assemble them into one location and then use the stony material to absorb the extreme heat by reinforcing it with her own energy. In the process, The Primera Espada would grit her teeth, bite down on her lip and have veins appear on her forehead in order to ensure this eruption was stopped in it's tracks.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

In one hellish scream, Rose pushed the extents of this makeshift barrier to it's limits and added in a second layer of code in order to trap the heat within the material so that it could be used. As, even naturally, once heat has been caught in a material, it generally won't be usable without extensive effort. So, The Primera Espada created a string of metaphysical rules to inscribe this effect into her stone-shield and to then have it shatter and break once the fire was absorbed.

But, that's when her world became reddened by a great sense of pain. A glance down at her knee was all that was needed in order to confirm each of her knees had what appeared to be holes in them. The armor, flesh, bone and muscles had all but been vaporized. It caused The Primera Espada to give a low whistle to the level of magic being thrown around. As, in the moment, there wasn't time to process the pain fully. This is because the functions of her brain instantly shifted into a state of overdrive to dispatch this threat.

At this point, her mind was analyzing and decoding information within microseconds. And, during that time, she realized that this string of light was operating on some of the most complicated coding she had encountered in quite some time. The metaphysical structure behind it had designed the attack to decompose of organic flesh and maintain the logic that the light has become a straight line. Which, in effect, allowed it phase through multiple layers of organic, material and metaphysical defense.

Therefore, Rose determined an conducted an experiment on the spot. The string of coding relating to "Decomposure" within the attack had triggered a stimulus within The Primera's mind. It caused her to recall the compound known as "Formaldehyde". This was a naturally occurring organic compound found with the formula CH2O. By recalling this code in the universe and calling it to her side, Rose intended to apply a metaphysical usage to it.

Formaldehyde was often used to in practical usage to preserve or fix tissue and cells in the practice of being used as an embalming agent. And what was one thing that Rose excelled in? Taking the impractical coding of the universe and transforming it into practical usage.

Hence, Rose stripped that line of logic from the universe and decided to implement her own line of scarlet light towards Kamui's Meteor Stream. Once the two forces would collide, the intent was to have it become negated and break down because of the fact The Primera intended to "preserve" her existence and inscribed the safeguarding effects of Formaldehyde to a heightened, empowered and extremely complex metaphysical level.

And, since Rose had more potent energy to burn than Kamui, the chance of success were relatively high and in her favor. As she infused enriched and high quality energies into her counter in order to better reinforce it's structure and maintain it's logic against his. It is why she even went as far as to have this bubblegum light appear across her entire body in order to act safeguard it as it was done in an effort to form a double preventive measure against his attack.

From there, the Primera Espada would give out a heavy gasp of air out of her mouth, move back to the ground utilizing mach two speed. Despite the fact that her knees were blown out, Rose utilized her energy to move her body and unleashed high amounts of kinetic energy to drag her back to the earth. Once there, she'd begin breathing heavily as she would have hoped to avoid taking on a critical injury like that to the head. After all, that is where her precious knowledge was stored and the bond she yielded with Origin Code. She couldn't allow anyone to disrupt that.

Still though, that was the most intense string of thought Rose had experianced in quite some time. It made her feel alive, thrilled and excited for the possibilities surging through her mind. Therefore, it was in that moment that she decided that this guy didn't need to be captured or stopped. As far as Rose was concerned, she was interested in seeing what he would do so that she could continue to have this type of dynamic thought in the future.

Therefore, after she caught her breath and wiped away the mounds of sweat from her forehead, Rose would grin at Kamui and nod at him:

"You are a crazy bastard. So go ahead, give life that shove. I sure in the fuck needed it."

Arrancar's respected one thing: strength. Even the most intellectual among them adhered to that. So The Primera Espada wasn't inclined to adhere to Shadow Fall's objective. No, instead she was following her own and wanted to see what else this male could bring out in her in the future. Therefore, she would use her connections to cover this incident up quite easily. But even then: would The Queen really care? This organization was't known for being the most sane and she was certain she'd be amused with these developments anyway.

"But hell, you probably aren't even sure of what I'm talking about. So to make things quick and to the point: you were mentioning you didn't have to waste with The Princess, so I'm sure you are in a rush to do something. Whatever that something is, I want you to finish it and I want to accelerate my own growth when it happens."

And with that, there was no telling where this was going to go from there. If he was interested in still fighting, Rose was ready and willing to go another round. As the nanobots which surrounded her body were beginning to multiply and sped up her regeneration to heightened extents. Yeah, her energy had been sucked up a fair bit from these feats, but she still felt like she could give it another round or so. After all, it is why she invented the EXCCV3 to extend and prolong her stamina in fights.

It hadn't gone exactly as planned. Kamui was really hoping for the "boom headshot" moment to further incapacitate her, he didn't really want to give her the opportunity to attempt to pin him here. It was rather impressive though that she managed to avoid the third strike to her head. She was likely the only creature in this dimension who could neutralize Kamui's Meteor stream in that fashion. However, while Kamui's spell was by no means simplistic, the amount of energy needed to rewrite so many skin cells back in to health was a lot more difficult than Kamui simply establishing that the light passed through her skull. That fact though, only made it that much more impressive that she was capable of the feat. The only other being he had ever met, personally, that would be capable of the raw energy output required to pull off a maneuver like this was his father. If Kamui wasn't the ridiculously arrogant creature he was, he'd be frightened and for good reason, she wasn't even the head of the snake that was Shadow Fall. Even despite that arrogance, there was fear in that thought. Fear itself wasn't a negative though, fear kept him level, kept him from overreaching, and that was a real risk when dealing with Shadowfall. Try to take too much, make yourself too big a target, and that snake would swallow you whole. Revealing even a little bit of his capabilities was a dangerous game and a gamble, he knew, at least right now, that he was not strong enough to fight these titans head to head and win on power alone, but it was still a gamble he was still confident in making.

Shadowfall in general was never going to see Kamui as a genuine threat to them, whether he was or not, and even if he had earned their respect they were never going to consider him genuinely "dangerous." Kamui, slowly descended to the ground, landing with a soft pat as he watched the girl begin the mend herself. Respect he believed was something he had acquired from this, which was most likely a positive, at least in the interim and it was a boon that they would never consider him or what he could do to be a threat. If Shadowfall treated him like an interesting game instead of an actual threat, that meant that weren't going to try to stop him. They were potentially the biggest obstacle and based on this little incursion, they no longer seemed likely to be. He would just have to keep being interesting instead of threatening for them until his plan was farther along...then it wouldn't matter. Kamui closed the rest of the distance between them and knelt down by her healing form, his mannerisms clearly showing that he had no further intention for conflict, at least not today.

The girl continued to be impressive, he knew of the Arrancar's regenerative capabilities, but he had never seen them in person before. Her earlier display was more impressive, but it was theoretically something that he too could accomplish, this was not. It made it more beautiful in a way. Upon closer inspection however, it'd seem that Rose's feat wasn't quite as easy as it had seemed. The difference in their energies was clear, even if Kamui would never show or admit it, but it wasn't something that the little girl would likely be able to replicate too many more times. The pooling sweat on her forehead was a testament to that. He smiled as she spoke as his hand extended out to his side, before reaching in to his pocket and pulling out a small piece of cloth, a handkerchief, and extending it forward to wipe the remaining sweat from her brow.

It wasn't surprising to find the Arrancar had selfish motivations for his machinations, she thought whatever conflict he brewed would make her grow even stronger. That was good, again, interesting over threatening. It worked out for Kamui was well, he had no interest in stagnation and he wanted nothing more than for Rose to grow even further. She was one of the candidates for his little plan and he was certainly going to be remiss if what they had displayed today was truly the full extent of what they were capable of.

"You needn't be patient for very long, Hollow Queen. The first push will be soon, then the cascading shove soon after. If we happen to meet again before then, well, I'm sure I can scratch whatever fucking itch you have."

He left the definition of a certain copulating word rather ambiguous rather apparently intentionally as the man leaned down and moved to give a soft kiss to the red tressed girls forehead. It would be rather short lived however. If she allowed him the chance to approach or tried to escape or deflect him, Kamui would be gone, seemingly vanishing out of thin air as if he had never been there at all, the warmth from either his lips or his body being the only lingering remnant of his presence. He was off to fulfill that promise, he was going to go give the world that shove.

Hm? It seemed that her partner in this tango dance of explosions, science and evolution still was interested something. The cherry eyed Rose would keep a close eye on her opponent, but her mind pretty much discerned from the situation that there was little hostility left in the male. So, she wasn't too hesitant towards staying put for the time being. As, out an interest of sheer curiosity, Rose was intrigued to find out that the man pulled out a cloth from his pocket and started to wipe away the sweat from her forehead.

That -- caused her giggle.

Really, to her, it was a somewhat funny gesture considering everything they had been through up until this point. However, the laugh also came because of the fact it caught her somewhat off guard. It had been awhile since someone had gotten so close into her personal space. Up until her little incursion in the vast emptiness of the moon, The Primera Espada spent a majority of her time secluded and isolated within her laboratory. Day in and day out, for many months on end she spent nothing but time crafting new inventions, jotting down new evolutionary paths for the Arrancar and keeping her mind busy to distance the thoughts of distress, loneliness and woe which filled the subconscious of her mind.

Therefore, due to all these internal factors being at play, The Little Queen wasn't quite sure how to react other than to laugh it off. Especially since these actions really didn't offend her; so there was no reason to resort to her usual fiery temper. After all, the glow of adrenaline was still pumping through the Arrancar veins, so she was feeling pretty stellar overall and nothing could really bring her down at the moment. Hence, she was fine with the action and didn't really feel cross or anything about it. Instead, she was more interested in what he stated afterward.

The Royal Mischevang was more than engrossed in whatever plan this man was up to because it offered her a chance to further sharpen her research and see how it would fair against whatever threat is on the horizon. Really, if she grew too dull and never had a chance to pit her brilliance against suitable threats, then her wondrous creations would grow dim, swallow and weak because of the lack of a good challenge to spark competition and, in turn, a desire to evolve and adapt. As it is through strife that great ingenuity is born and why she was drawn to this war in the first place.

So, she would give a brief, but concise reply in response to everything that was said pertaining to this mysterious plan:

"Don't keep me waiting too long, then. There is a world of wonder my mind is itching to explore."

Of course she caught on to the subtle hints at intimacy he was alluding to. How could her mind not? She was able to pick up on social cues when she saw them. Ergo, in turn, she gave her own ambiguous statement which could be taken in any number of ways he or her desired.

Though, with all that said, she honestly felt a bit tensed up with the kiss to the forehead. There was a reaction to want to pull back, but the greater part of her felt better to remain in place. It was a conflicting source of emotion because of the fact apart of her mind was apprehensive to the closeness of another, while a separate portion of her conscious was ready to embrace. Thus, there was a state of erratic cognitive dissonance occurring within the mind of Rose; but the greater part of her still did not mind it.

More so, it was something that was going to linger on her mind for awhile as she weighed out her feelings and tried to make sense of the bubbly warmth in her chest. Since, by the time she was going to reply to him, the man had already vanished and made himself scarce. So, when that happened, Rose took the clue and figured she'd do the same. With but a few strings of thought, her cybernetic mind was already writing off the reports and creating a false story where the target was subdued and rendered weakened in order to just throw any old cover to satisfy the higher-ups within Shadow Fall.

From there, Rose would add in her findings that there wasn't anything worth of value in the Sector and thus would have rendered it a waste to do any further exploration since most life would have been evacuated. Which meant, overall, the best course of action would be to vacate the area and move to another Sector. Making it a believable enough story considering the fact that this war was concluding anyway.

So, it was time to follow up with that lie and fade away into the cosmic night. With starry thoughts flaring up within her mind and heart, there was a lot that The Primera Espada was going to mull over for the coming days, weeks and months following this operation. However, she was very happy. There was new data to analyze, new sources of information to research and a greater sense of abstract thought was unlocked within her mind. All of these resources would help to break the stagnated state of thinking Rose found herself in and help to dissolve the rut preventing her from evolving past these shackles of lethargy and dormancy.

In essence: it was the start of a new chapter for Rose and she was curious to see where it would all lead her towards.
