_______________________________________________________________________________

Henrex's eyes narrowed as Carter decided to pull something. He blocked his attack. The beam of energy slammed against his back, dissolving into nothing. Piercing Shadows was blocked that easy. His head lowered as he watched this event unfold, and the grip on his Zanpakutō grew. His fingers turned purple as the grip on the hilt of the katana was tightened. Henrex was pissed. But he wasn't showing it. At least not with his facial expressions. The only thing that could allow someone to see his anger would be looking at his hand, clenching the sword of a Shinigami with everything he had. However....the grip was soon loosened.

The young Shinigami slowly took a step forward, his boots, for the first time in so long, made a noise for contact against the ground. An echoing sound came from the boots of Henrex Astillon as he slowly turned around, spreading his wings wide. The fragile heart of the Shinigami was slowly breaking. It had finally hit him. He was useless here. Just like anywhere else. There was nowhere he could go to help. A sigh came from him as his sword returned to his sheath. His head slowly lowered, before his foot would move forward, and Henrex would take off flying through the shattered barrier. A look of sadness occupied Henrex's face.

Useless again......as always....

Carter is officially skipped and booted from the thread. Currently Zen is the only thing standing between Stefan and the destruction of the Seireitei. I will be posting soon.

A Test of Strength (Assault on the New Generation) - Page 2 JCRrxmK

Artist: Kurage-P ft. Otomachi Una - Song: Hate It! Hate It! Huge Ego! - Word Count: N/A

It seems rather strange that even in the soul society we can still count a day like this as "relatively calm" or even "normal"; you'd think about how many times someone would just break into your shitty defense system and attack the Seireitei, a new war would start to count as normal. Lycoris being the type of person she was would never count today as calm, instead she'd much rather call it a standstill; deep down she knew that their small organization was going to get rotfl-stomped sometime soon. Making each of these uneventful days merely a countdown to something more exciting, fortunately Lycoris didn't have to experience this morning like most of these go-getters; she could have to experience as something horribly mundane as paper work. No, instead Lycoris was spending this morning like how she spends every other one, sleeping. Either she be within her quarters, or outside; Lycoris always finds a way to curl up comfortably and take a nice long nap. This time thee Shinigami had found a new interest of sleeping with her music device, with having new members within her division it had increasingly became difficult to keep up her obscure schedule. From the frequent annoyance of her squad members, Lycoris only found true inner peace by pulling in her earbuds and blasting her music to drown out their irrational demands.

Due to her new and wonderful habit, it wouldn't be surprising that she didn't take notice of the loud cracking noise in which every other person cared to pay attention to. The panic of the people, or even the command of other captains wouldn't even been noticed by the inexperience Shinigami without someone directly influencing her in some manner. Well, while this wasn't like someone physically touching her, the spiritual pressure was immense, so much so that the shinigami was rudely awoken by it. With her music still blaring in her ears, Lycoris pulled herself up to try and see where it was coming from, thankfully he was a bit of a distance from it's source and didn't have to deal with the full brunt of it. This however didn't stop her racing heart in one bit and with the feeling of anxiety building up in her body, the female tried to swallow it down in an attempt to regain her usual composure. With the earbuds still within her ears and her being a distance away, it would be understandable that she couldn't hear the captain's order. Slowly lifting herself into her feet and pulling one of her earbuds out, Lycoris was now cautiously looking around for her vice captain for an update. Being apart of the Stationed Soldiers sometimes they are used as a backup, if it got any worse that would mean Lycoris would be forced onto the field.

Snapping her out from her surrounding was the sudden keeping of the ground shaking; was this cased by the enemy? Before she could think of any other possibility, large pillars forming some sort of reiatsu barrier was erected. Due to its size alone, Lycoris had no doubt in her mind that this was done by someone much more powerful than herself; either it been done by an ally or enemy wouldn't have mattered since it purpose was pretty clear. The barrier itself was to separate, forcing whoever was there to stay that way and keeping everyone else out, if something like that was needed then it was going to another messy situation for the Gotei, surprise there.. If anything was going to break that down it would have to be with extreme amount of power, or at least in her inexperienced eyes. Even though she needed to be ready for whenever she is ordered to depart she also felt that keeping a safe distance would be for the best. Anything too powerful could create a large enough blast sand take her out unintentionally; so with that being said Lycoris would've only moved carefully. Just relying on her own speed without using any of her shunpos, gave her body time to slowly adjust to the spiritual power that woke her up. By acting like an idiot and dashing in right away could cause detrimental effects on her physically and her state of mind.

Naturally the female was already peaked and on high alert for obvious reasons, so when there was a sudden explosion, reacting to it wasn't that much of a problem. The most terrifying thing about it was even though she wasn't too close from it she'd still felt the need to throw her arms over her face in self defense against the pure aftershock of it and the barrier collapsing. A sharp gasp escaped her lips while she watched it break down; she didn't care about the people that would have been near it, or who was left on the field. Her main concern was the fact she knew she was fucked, even without orders she knew as a stationed soldier it would only make sense that she needed to go in now. Unconsciously she took a step back before she heard the familiar ring of her Zanpakutō spirit's voice, a jolt went through the female the female after being caught off guard by it.

"Are you seriously trying to run away now?"

She'd look down at her own feet and realized what she was doing; a small flutter of disappointment filled herself before she took a deep breath in. Without having to say anything to Kyuuketsuki retort she’d start to take off towards the other side of the ruddled barrier. If there was anything else she hated more in the world other than her own weakness would be self loathing, because of how events tend to fall while she was running towards the battle she went based another individual who was running away from it. From the strange get up to the fact she was running away, and not to mention the intense nausea feeling of the spiritual pressure she forced herself closer to; Lycoris didn’t know which pissed her off the most. As if to vent a bit, the female purposely waiting until he was close by before muttering the vicious words, “fucking pathetic” just loud enough for him to be in earshot. Even though some of that was towards herself for earlier it was still sickening to watch what should be a proud member turn tail and take off; what was he scared of dying.. again?

As she got close enough to see the group of people around it obviously became increasingly more difficult to breath let alone to move, but that wasn’t going to stop her resolve. Due to her fighting style it would be best if he didn’t notice her and she could take advantage of attacking first; though deep inside she knew that the chances were against her. Using whatever buildings were left as cover, Lycoris pulled one of her dolls out from her pocket before pressing her thumb into her teeth. By sharply biting down into the flesh and breaking the skin, She’d casually rub the blood upon it’s face while muttering her Kido incantation.

“Go on and Dance~ Children of emptiness learn yourself their ways.”

Once the last word was muttered, Lycoris had stabbed the doll within it’s chest sacrificing some of her reiatsu to it’s lifeless being. It didn’t take very long for her doll to morph itself into a spitting image of Lycoris herself mimicking even her own unique spiritual pressure. Once completed, she would have quickly split off from the doll, allowing it to be seen by the male first, even though she didn’t have much control over its action the doll took out it’s own “Zanpakutō and prepared itself to attack the intruder. While this was happening, Lycoris utilized her own shunpos to get her through his spiritual pressure the fastest, hoping his attention was on the fake, she was planning to use one of her shunpos to latch herself at the male after positioning her Zanpakutō to slice through any part of part she could reach. Needless to say if she was even allowed to get close to the intruder, Lycoris would have no qualms in perhaps throwing up after she shunpo was completed since her body wouldn’t have gotten used to it that quickly. It was a stupid move on her part, but even if she were to be able to land at least one hit on the guy perhaps her sealed ability would take some effect on him and they could take on the offense. Either way she was going to be royally fucked after this, so much for a standstill day.

ENTER THE DEPTHS

Artist: Pendulum - Song: Crush - Word Count: 1,268

What could only be described as a sudden detonation woke the young Shinigami from her deep slumber. Both of her eyes snapped open, ears perking up and tail poofing out with shock at the amount of spiritual energy which impacted with her body. It felt like a Shinigami, but it also somehow felt like an Arrancar, and yet there was something else mixed in still, a sort of sickening darkness whose origin she simply could not place.

Okay, what did I miss? Are we under attack? Who would honestly attack Seireitei?

Fingers gripped against delicate sheets and soft squishy bedding as the wolf pushed herself to a seated up position, although it was not as easy a feat as it normally was due to the intense spiritual pressure blanketing the area. A hushed growl escaped her lips as she removed herself from her bed, standing completely naked within her room.

Clothes first. I should probably not fight naked.

With haste Yuki slipped into her Shinigami’s uniform, complete with her nifty black eyepatch, which covered a good portion of the left side of her face. Fully prepared for battle she left her home, venturing briefly through her self-grown gardens in order to check upon her strawberry plants. Thankfully they had not been destroyed by the sudden influx of spiritual energy, which prompted her to breathe a gentle sigh of relief.

They had better cut this out. If they end up ruining my plants I do not know if I will be able to keep myself in a proper mindset.

The petite girl did not bother with any flash stepping, opting instead to run at full speed for where the energy originated from. Her skills with the flash step were not that great and, at this distance, would surely tire her out too much before she reached her destination. Besides, there were already stronger Shinigami on the scene, evident simply due to the massive barrier that was set into place. They could afford to wait for someone of her lesser rank to catch up.

Is it just the one enemy? Whoever it is they are incredibly powerful. I doubt I stand any chance against them. How exciting!

A faint smile very briefly appeared upon her face, tail thrashing wildly behind her while she ran through the clean white streets. Another great burst of energy erupted from her destination, powerful enough that it blew a massive hole within the barrier. The shockwave created forced Yuki back a couple of steps, tail sticking straight out behind her in order to keep her on her feet, arms braced together in front of her face as winds whipped against her shihakusho.

“Incredible.”

Many Shinigami fled from the source, but Yuki pressed on even more quickly than before. Fighting such a monster was undoubtedly foolhardy, but it was also very fun! Besides, how could she ever hope to grow stronger if she only fought weaker creatures? Hunting Hollows was not something she did for fun. Well, mostly. No, it was her duty, and it was all done with a desire to help the trapped souls. But this? This was pure enjoyment on her part. It didn’t matter if she won or lost this fight. It didn’t even matter if she perished. This was what she lived for.

By the time she’d reached the battlefield Yuki’s spiritual presence had been all but drowned out by those who fought alongside her. Her power paled in comparison to the various captains participating, but then that was never an issue for her. Besides, she was a member of the combat unit! How could she ever hope to live up to that name if she ran away from it? What would her captain think about such a dishonorable act? Or her father? Even so, her weakness would hopefully provide for an advantage.

Maybe they will underestimate me. If anything I could at least provide a distraction, an opening perhaps for one of the captains to exploit. That is all I really need to do.

Yuki’s run gradually slowed down to a relaxed walk. She did not bother with trying to hide. It was dishonorable to strike at an opponent before they knew of your presence, or so she thought anyways. No, instead she calmly stepped forth and towards the man who leaked an incredibly massive and incredibly evil presence. There was no faltering in her movements despite the horrible sick feelings which plagued her stomach or the intense pressure which weighed upon her body. Her Zanpakutō was freed from it’s sheathe in a single elegant motion, held off to her right side with its tip pointed towards the ground. The wild movements of her tail slowed as she now focused upon her opponent.

Attacks were unleashed against the strangely dressed man, attacks she could not even completely perceive. This was the power of a captain. Someday she might reach that level, but it was probably quite a ways away. Even so, she was not the only weak presence on the field. Another Shinigami, perhaps even a bit weaker than herself, was moving against the lone invader.

I’ll need to be a little careful, but I think in this case I can just go all out. No holding back. Don’t repeat Antarctica. Go all out from the start. Even if I lose myself, one of the captains can easily subdue me. Or I will die, and that too will do the trick. Regardless, here goes nothing.

“I am Yuki Kameko” she called out, not in her loudest voice however it would be loud enough if her opponent was listening. And if he wasn’t? Well, that was his fault, he should be paying more attention to his surroundings, and it still would not be rude to attack him. Nothing held her back now from striking, and nothing would either.

A sudden burst of energy shot down through her legs, and within the blink of an eye she had propelled herself forward. She had waited until the captain’s attacks had subsided, as she did not wish to get in his way, and because she planned on ending up right in front of the powerful intruder. Her blade was already drawn when she arrived, held right in front of herself.

"Howl, Kuchiku!"

Red exploded outwards, a blinding flash of light from her blade meant to temporarily render her enemies sightless and dazed. That primarily was the reason for her interference, to serve as a great distraction and to give an opening to whomever she possibly could afford one to. But she would not stop there either, for now her Shikai was unleashed.

A dense aura of black covered her body, flickering with tips of brilliant red as her pupils contracted into something more bestial. Spiritual energy coursed through her body, filling it with adrenaline. It would make her stronger and faster. The aura would protect her and heal her, hold her body together for as long as she kept this released form going. Yuki hoped to become as much of an annoyance to this man as she possibly could, to hold him off for as long as she possibly could so that more captains could respond. With any hope she might even get to witness her own captain fight.

With weapon drawn the petite Shinigami stepped inwards, using the blood Shinigami’s attack as a distraction for her own distraction. The blinding, if it worked at all, would not last long, and so she put all of her vicious might behind one solid cleave downwards, aimed straight for the center of her powerful opponent’s forehead.

ZERO DIVISION'S LEAD OPERATIVE

KAKINE YUUDESHI
忘れっぽいです

How obnoxious. The day only continued to grow annoying as Kakine finally awoke from his prolonged slumber. The Zero Division captain spent a majority of his time simply watching over the Gotei given its recent events. Nothing comes to life here often, given their importance among the earth realm had slowly reduced to nothing but soul collection. With Daimen MIA from the Gotei itself, Kakine was technically the man in charge now. With that being the case, his general duties were watching the Seireitei without faltering and answering relatively trivial things about the Rukongai and small paperwork here and there. It was all a boring and annoying task, nevertheless Kakine continued to get up everyday to attempt this thing called "work".

As per the usual, however, this day was a bit different. There was always a day that takes not just him, but the Gotei as a whole by surprise. The tired male had been thrown into an awakened state, the large explosions ringing throughout Gotei causing a deep sigh to escape his chest. As annoying as it was, explosions usually meant bad things. Bad things usually meant someone had to come help out. Despite this, Kakine flopped backwards before curling up in a ball once more. Yet another explosion rang outward, the covers that once softly sat against the man were now removed. Sliding to his side without much thought, he slipped his feet into deep brown penny loafers before throwing on a random shirt he found among the floor.

"Can I just get a break? Jesus." Reluctantly, Kakine walked towards his rooms window without another thought, kicking it open before loudly bursting outward from its confines. Quietly floating among the morning air, Kakine scanned the large area known as the Seireitei. Quickly identifying the smoke that billowed within the sky, the man quickly found his way to the scene of the loud and annoying sounds.

"Alright guys, can we like. Stop for a second?" The bright sun burned the scene of the crime, a group of beings all in a relatively tight area as fellow Shinigami quickly found their way out of the extreme situation. Currently, it only consisted of five separate individuals. As far as Kakine knew, the two that were assaulting the green haired man were Shinigami of his own control, the third being the captain now as Zen.

How annoying, someone had find their way into the Seireitei in order to smack others around. Kakine couldn't really blame someone for doing so, but to such an extreme? He gazed behind the group at the large wake of chaos that the green-haired male had brought with him. Rubbing his forehead, the Zero Division Leader looked closely at the male before a small grin filled his cheeks. "Wait wait wait wait." Stepping forward into the thick of the attacks that the two shinigami had launched towards the Man, Kakine chuckled and shook his head.

"What's the leader of The Monsuta doing here in the Soul Society?" It was obvious that Stefan hadn't inflicted any life ending injuries upon anyone despite the strength he held over everyone nearby. It was interesting, thinking that he was purposely holding back. Of course, Kakine could be wrong with what he thought, that didn't change much about the situation whatsoever though. As he stood among what he would assume the line of fire was, Kakine quickly erected a large wall that would move on a dime in order to protect him from those launching an assault towards Stefan, just in case something didn't go as they planned.

"Aren't they a bit weak for you to be toying with, Stefan?" Questioning the male, he quickly hit himself in the forehead before speaking for a final time. "Right you probably don't know me. Uh, I'm Kakine. Kakine Yuudeshi." With his final word escaping, he folded his arms expecting some type of excuse in order to describe the situation that was quickly unfolded. Alongside his statements towards Stefan however, he glanced behind him before questioning those attempting to defend the Seireitei.

"You probably should have asked someone to come help, don't you think?"

"Crap" Zen though to himself as he punched the shield a few times. That was surely unexpected, Stefan's Zanpakutō could change forms quite easily, this was going to be a problem. He moved away to get some distance between him and the intruder but that was cut short a few seconds later as he saw the shield flying over towards him. It was highly unlikely that Zen would be unharmed if that hit him. A loud BOOM filled the air as Zen activated his fermata ability when the shield was 4 feet away from him. This didnt stop the shield outright, the man throwing it was far too strong, but it did slow it down to a crawl. This would give him some time to think, but soon the shield was gone, and what was left was an empty space in the air. Perfection. Now that the shield was gone his ability firmly locked that empty space in his aura.

Luckily at this time he noticed that some back up had arrived. Even the acting commander had arrived. Well the tables might be turning soon. While he knew there were weaker shinigami there he had to do this. "Bankai" he whispered, but in his state it would be silent.

His spirit pressure suddenly spiked, but like the sound it wouldnt be noticeable, fermata had locked his pressure and sound at a specific level. Due to this immobility the pressure inside would just keep increasing and increasing. This caused him some pain, but his goal was within reach. As the pressure within the area increased the empty space left by the shield keep getting smaller and smaller. The area grew hotter and hotter as air tried to get into the void, but it couldn't. Until.

BANG

Zen let down fermata as his spirit pressure suddenly flooded the area. Along with that there was a sudden flash of light. The light came from the pressurized void left by the shield. Zen had taken advantage of this void and created a pseudo-cavitation bubble in the air. He used ultrasound and infrasound waves to pressurize it, causing it to become hotter and hotter. Once he let it go, the beam of pure heat that was created flew out in the direction from which the shield came. Directly at Stefan. Hot enough to easily destroy the skin it hit.

The heat blast wasnt the only thing that came out, there was also the source of the noise, a shockwave. A shockwave going at mach 1, with the heat traveling at twice that speed. While just breaking the sound barrier the shockwave packed quite a punch. As it traveled it tore up the ground below it.

The boy flew past, aiming to get away from the possible carnage that would come from the fight. However, he didn't get far without meeting someone near his strength. He heard the whisper. Pathetic. It was true. He really was pathetic. Leaving like that. This is what made the boy stop in his tracks. His boots slid and skidded against the ground, leaving dirt trails when he first landed. His entire body froze. He wasn't moving. His head slowly turned. Should he....go back? No. He left for a reason. There would be no point in going back now. Clenching his teeth, Henrex continued to fight the urge to go back. There would be no point! It was just asking for death!

However....there was that feeling....that he NEEDED to go back. His body slowly turned, before his eyes shut. His left hand slowly moved down to his sword, his fingers wrapping around it tight. His eyes slowly opened halfway, before his single eyeball moved down towards his sword. You know what? Fuck it. Ripping the sword from the sheath and putting his shihakusho and scarf back on, Henrex cracked the bones in his back, hearing the satisfying sound as he did. Looking onward to the fight, Henrex knew that it was suicide, but he had to help. Fuck it. Digging his left foot into the ground, Henrex would catapult himself towards the fight.

Keeping both hands on his sword dragging behind him, Henrex moved at high speed towards Stefan Soan. Lifting his sword to his shoulder, he aimed to make a single strike. Speeding towards the Vizard, the boy would swing his sword once, aiming to cut from his left shoulder to the center of his chest. His heart. Most likely avoided, Henrex would then leap back, his shihakusho and the scarf flowing within the wind. The single revealed eye of the young Shinigami blazed with no fear. For some reason, Henrex was no longer afraid of this Vizard, nor death. In fact, if he were to die, he would welcome it with open arms. Pointing his sword at the Vizard, the quiet voice of the Shinigami would flow in the air.

"I am no longer afraid of you. Now...it's time to FIGHT!"

The newfound courage came out of nowhere from the boy. His heart and soul burned with the single goal he had right now. Protect the Soul Society. Protect the Seireitei! Protect his HOME!

I walk a path...with no end....

Lycoris
The Blood Shinigami

Artist: Kurage-P ft. Otomachi Una - Song: Hate It! Hate It! Huge Ego! - Word Count: N/A

As she knew before hand her opponent was much more powerful then herself, however be it by duty or just her own pride she still went in for the attack. It would be by no surprise that she failed, within seconds of closing in on him her kido clone of herself was impaled on his own blade. The speed at which he was capable of moving was astounding to say in the least, she barely even had to tie to react to what form of fear she felt to see herself getting stabbed, before his hand was on her Zanpakutō. With one fluent motion he had switched his hand placement and even decapitated her own clone by the time she came to a complete stop. While most people would have been frozen by fear a very clear word came to her lips before the metallic sound of her weapon being tossed at her feet.

"Amazing.."

But something was wrong, her feelings of awe towards his performance was quickly clouded by an gut feeling. His actions and his words didn't see to match up in he slightest, if he was aware of which one was which then why didn't he just attack her head on. He was more capable of defeating her where she stood, or even disabling an Shinigami slightly by taking away their Zanpakutō. Something definitely didn't add up the female; staying defensive Lycoris open her mouth to speak but was interrupted by two other late newcomers. The first being that of a female loudly proclaiming her name before attacking with what Lycoris assumed was in some form of honor. The second was a male instead, while she never really met him in person anyone would know who he is. Kakine Yuudeshi, it was most definitely reassuring to have someone of his caliber to finally join in the fight. It became quite obvious with how he deflected the other female's attack that he was holding his power a lot. Either this done by cockiness, or out of their safety would have mattered not. If he wanted us to fight him, then they were going to fight; that's final.

Dropping herself onto the ground, Lycoris hand placed a hand upon her Zanpakutō while the other sturdily caught a hold of the ground. This was for two reason, the first was swing her lower half up into the air to leg sweep the male's neck and the second was so she could ready herself to block an attack to her upper half. While it was nice and all that everyone was trying to be honorable, Lycoris only wanted to see how far she could push this until she couldn't fight anymore. So with that being said, her kick wasn't just any normal blunt force, before lifting herself she would have focused some of her reitasu to cover the female's leg from her knee down. Due to her specialty, it would have been child's play to make this limb become incredibly sharp to the touch.

She didn't know how the male would have dodge or if he was capable of taking it on, but either way she was still trying to be aware of her surroundings. Her plan was to continue to try and find an open to exploit it, but it was a bit more difficult to find out that someone else was going into Bankai. Either it be the fact that he whispered this shit instead of screaming it out like an idiot, him suppressing the sound, or his burst of spiritual pressure was being smothered by the person behind her. If possible Lycoris would have noticed him preparing for an attack instead, where she would've switched herself to defensive instead. Since she had to fight so closely she didn't want whatever her supposed Ally to throw to accidentally hit her too.

Backing out by either jumping away, or using a flash step would be her initial reactions; her only worry then would be if she made it too obvious for him to notice her sudden retreat or if she was too late. Everything she has been doing has been up to chance and dumb luck; if she were to make it out in one piece is really her end goal. It wouldn't be after she found herself a safe and comfortable distance away that that she felt speaking up wouldn't lose her moment of surprise anymore.

"Lycoris, and I am the backup."

Keeping her words short and dressing the both of them at the same time wasn't necessarily her intention however a lot of it was spent panting and trying to catch her breath. She was thankful that she didn't pass out by now from his spiritual pressure alone, but it was sure a great way to train. If she ever makes it out alive then surely she'd do this more often; a grin grew on the female's face as she used the back of her hand to wipe some sweat from her chin. Carefully scanning the area, she did however notice another person; in fact this was the person that she went past when getting to this area. That smile soon melted off her face, turning her attention slightly towards him she would have swung her Zanpakutō into the air pointing it in his direction.

"Why the fuck are you back here?!"

Is he just planning on chatting this enemy of ours to death? Can he even do that? Is that something captains can do? If so I will be incredibly impressed.

The powerful enemy in front of Yuki was, for a moment, distracted by someone else. But then, could she blame him? It was after all a captain, and they were much, much more powerful than she was. Even this captain seemed to be of little match to the intruder, as he was flung straight out of the battlefield by the enemy’s punch. If the same had been done to her then she would have surely been taken out of the fight for good.

How terrifying. How terrifyingly exciting!

Of course the girl Yuki was planning on acting as a distraction to, or to use as a distraction for herself, was also unsuccessful. In a flash her attack had been countered: the woman’s clone was run through, her weapon captured, stolen from her grip, and then her clone decapitated all in one single fluid movement. On anybody else it might have worked, but this man was truly a monster. He’d even managed to take the time to berate her. What a truly cocky, arrogant, terrifying monster he was.

Unfortunately Yuki wasn’t much luckier in her attempts at taking down this beast of an opponent. With ease her movements were tracked, even while she used a flash step, but that was to be expected given her general lack of movement speed. However her blinding flash of light had at least worked: for a few moments he was clearly without vision! It seemed as though her plan might have paid off! Indeed, it would have if there had been somebody else ready to capitalize on the blinding light. Alas, there was only her, and she was not up to this man’s level.

Still, there was some honor to be had in her attack, for she had actually forced the man to draw his blade and to directly block against her strike! In that moment she felt very proud of herself, even if she shouldn’t have. It was unsuccessful, but it at least reassured her that she could, in fact, harm him. All she needed to do was actually land the strike.

The block made against her blade was not simply something done out of defensive. Instead he converted it into an offensive move, forcing his strength against the tip of her weapon in an effort to parry and bounce it away! His intention, she figured, was to throw her off balance. If she’d been a normal person then it might have worked, but she had her secret weapon: a great four foot long bushy wolf tail. Instantly it flatted out behind her, providing her a much greater degree of balance. The sudden force against her did cause pain to shoot up her arm as her wrist started to take damage, but then she was quite used to pain, and it did not really affect her at all in this case.

Regardless, she decided not to stay put, as the weapon being pushed her way might have soon found itself lodged within her shoulder, and that would be no good. So, to avoid that, she broke away from her attack, sliding across the man’s body towards the side which wasn’t dominated by his weapon. At the same time she twisted her blade inwards, pressing it forward in an attempt to slice across his belly, although her primary motive now was to move to the man’s left side.

Dead huh? Maybe so. At least it might be fun.

Again the man started to rant. Hints of annoyance ran through her mind, but in her current form this was fine. It mixed with the frustration of not exactly landing a hit, and with her inability to match her foe. Anger was still too strong a word, but it was getting there, and once it did it would only make her stronger as her ferocity grew greater and greater still.

I can let loose. Don’t hold back this time. Everything is game. Tonight you run free Kuchiku.

As she made it to the evil doer’s left side Yuki’s left ear twitched. One of the captains was using an attack. Getting some distance would be smart, but then Yuki always was pretty reckless too. In an instant she came up with another plan. Her objective remained the same: be a good distraction so that the captains could land the big hits. She was a soldier, and so she would play the soldier’s role faithfully. Besides, and maybe this was just her growing aggressive side speaking, but this was just more fun.

It was a good thing Yuki wasn’t facing the captain’s attack; otherwise she might have been blinded. Then again, even if that had been the case she could have used one of her other outstanding senses to do, well, something. Like get away. But, as she wasn’t blinded, there would be no need for such cowardice!

Well, here goes nothing!

While Zen’s big flashy scary super-hot bang attack was unleashed Yuki sprang into action, either to act as a distraction for it or to use it as a distraction for her own attack! If anything she would force the man to react to one of their two attacks. She didn’t even notice Henrex’s arrival, or his attacks, or the additional attacks made by the clone wielding Shinigami, but then she was completely focused upon her own new plan, and her inner beast wouldn’t care regardless. Charging spiritual energy into her feet once more, the petite Shinigami launched herself upwards, aiming to leap right over her opponent. However she did not plan on going very far as her now incredibly dense flexible mace-like tail curled inwards with the aim of wrapping around her opponent’s neck, not just to distract him and not just to strangle and puncture his flesh with the sharpened barbs of dense spikey fur, but also to act as a stoppage for the young pup, to halt her from moving any further into the air. A wall of dense energy also formed above and behind her, acting as a secondary method of halting her movements in the air, her petite body slamming into it with quite a bit of force, but it would do little damage to her.

Now briefly frozen in the air over Stefan, the Shinigami unleashed both her feet down as hard as she possibly could, aiming on slamming each into his shoulders. Her primary reason was to try and damage his arms, to make him less able to fight, but she had two other very good reasons for this: first, it would give her something to stand on, and second, the force might help to keep him pinned in place, at least for an instant, which she hoped might help the captain’s attack land a hit. But Yuki had a third attack already set in motion as well, for as she had sprung upwards her Zanpakutō was spun within her hands, twisted around so that the blade faced downwards, and now that blade was driven down towards the back of her enemy’s neck. It didn’t matter if any of these attacks did damage, or if all of them even hit at all. What mattered most was being a distraction, and Yuki was going to make certain that she was the biggest distraction possible!
