The sky blackened as he sensed their reiatsu. An inch more, just an inch. He gave them that inch of reiatsu from his body. He placed a hand on his head and vanished from the skies above at light speed, reappearing below on the grounds of Japan, creating a hundred mile crater below him. Everything that was below him had now vanished, vaporized into dust, floating forever in the black winds.

[Andx]

"No time for stealth now. Let's move." Keisuke said. He grabbed a fourth cloak.

"You too Danni. We're gonna need all we got." he said as he tossed the cloak in her direction.

Whoever had come was already getting quite active. Keisuke couldn't allow him to destroy anymore of the town. He had a feeling that he knew which captain it was. It felt like Akuma but something was different about his pressure. It felt different than even his bankai. Almost like something had happened to his zanpakuto. No time left to wonder about it, Keisuke called the group to action.

"Move out!" he said as he jumped up to the top of the training room stairs. It seemed Ayumi was nearby, or at least within a range that he could sense her presence, he just hoped she'd show up after them. True they were all about the same level as Akuma but Keisuke wanted him dead without giving him a chance.

[zaneko]

Danni grinned as Keisuke tossed her a cloak. Finally, she was needed! She pulled it over her clothes and secured it in place. She quickly followed the others up the stairs. She could fell the massive reiatsu and the massive attack. It didn't seem like kido. It just felt like raw reiatsu being applied with force. She grinned slightly beneath the hood of the robe. Maybe there was a way for to use her our reiatsu in a simular way.

She pushed the thought out of her mind as they emerged from the base. The destruction was massive. It was as if a megaton bomb had been set off. Almost nothing was spared damage. Danni realized that this fight was serious, deadly and serious.

[PrimalFear]

Hayate was in the eastern part of Japan a few miles away. "What reaitsu is this? It feels stronger then any Captain I've come a crossed." Hayate pulled his hooded robe he had over his head as he unsheathed his sword. "I see Rachael has finally discovered us." Hayate started to shunpo toward the massive reaitsu, I know I'm not the strongest when it comes to my Transformation but I am probably the best without it!!" He stated this to himself as a reassurance of his powers. "Bakudo number twenty six - Kyakko," he said in order to hide his presence and reiatsu. "I have to get as close as I can and figure out what I can do, I'm sure by now Keisuke has all ready been forced to take action." As much as Hayate disliked the corrupted lords and that they fully trained their hollow transformations, he was still a Shinigami and still was against Rachael and the hollows that had taken over Soul Society.

 

Hayate came closer to this massive reaitsu as he felt the end waves of a huge reaitsu blast. He dodged the few things that where blasted his way as he continued into ground zero. His right arm clutching his sword and staring straight ahead he new that this could be a brutal battle.

[Andx]

For a split second Keisuke thought he felt Hayate. But Hayate had a habit of hiding his presence so he couldn't be sure.

"So you've even attracted #2 here as well Akuma. Things are looking pretty bad for you." he thought.

The destruction caused by a simple surge of reiatsu was immense. Keisuke didn't even want to think of all the people he'd killed in that. Keisuke stood at the edge of the crater. He wanted Akuma dead now.

"No hesitation, kill him now!" was Keisuke's order to the other three as he began to approach Akuma. His reiatsu was incredibly oppressive. Though pushed on heavily, Keisuke still was able to move. Akuma couldn't bring him to his knees with power alone, he wasn't that much greater than Keisuke yet it seemed.

[The D.M.]

Shoren stepped behind Rachel with a blank expression on his face "Lady Rachel" he began "Is it to my understanding that I too will be deployed on this mission?" he let loose a small smile at the prospect of cutting down more soul reapers and drinking their blood like wine "I dont understand why they bother to resist really...but i dont care" *sigh* "miss Rachel can i please go kill one now?" he asked in his monotone voice and returning to the blank expression on his face

[Phantom Roxas]

OoC: I hate when roleplays move so much while I'm at school.

 

IC: Gerard was probably miles behind Akuma by now. He had taken the time to search for the other Shinigami once Akuma had first gotten ahead of him, but with little success. He had often sensed the reckless use of reiatsu, but for some reason he could never precisely pinpoint their location. "There's no way they could be those eight captains, a captain would never be so reckless with their power. Then again, perhaps that was why he were able to crush them once before.

 

When he had sensed a massive explosion of reiatsu, he knew that it was Akuma's doing. "I don't why I couldn't catch up to him before," he said to himself, "but that's definitely him." He sped off towards the burst of reiatsu, knowing that it would indeed attract the attention of unwanted guests. Rachel would be happy if an army of Hollows arrived, but Gerard would take action against the foul beasts if need be. However, his priority was any Shinigami that would show up.

[PrimalFear]

Hayate had reached the scene of ground zero as he saw Akuma on the ground. Crouching on top of a low building Hayate watched Keisuke and the others as they where about to attack Aukuma. "Fools it may have been 100 years we have been training but who knows what kind of things Rachael has had them training on. For all I know they could have been all transformed into something stronger and faster then the Espada Aizen had created." He decided to watch closely and analyze the battle and former Captain of the Gotei 13 Akuma, after all he is the most intelligent of the Corrupted lords and he is the former captain of the investigation squad.

[Andx]

ooc: Thank you all, RP can resume.

IC:

Whether or not the others were ready Keisuke charged at Akuma. Sword drawn and face hidden he didn't want to give away his identity too quickly. Though he figured that it wouldn't take him long. He'd fought with the various captains in the past and they were sure to remember his style. He appeared in the middle of the crater. Sure enough, it was Akuma.

"I'll only tell you this once: Leave this world or die." Keisuke said to him.

Keisuke lunged out at Akuma with his sword. He had to tell how strong Akuma was before judging the best course of action. Taking the offensive often gave him the best ideas.

[PrimalFear]

Hayate saw Keisuke jump in first, thinking to himself Hayate said "So testing the big man early I see. You did learn a few things from me before I departed." He watched as Keisuke lunged at Akuma, "All right now to see what his move will be." Hayate watched the intense battle begin, as he new sooner or later he would make up his own mind in his decision to join the Corrupted lords or not. He never sheathed his sword but instead kept it drawn and in position to attack if action called for it.

 

Hayate never spoke a lot and due to the conflicts involving the Corrupted lords gaining Hollow abilities he never truly understood them. Of course being the third seat to Captain Commander Yamamoto Hayate new quite well the history of Kisuke Urahara and how the Captain Commander disliked the Vizard. Hayate could never get past the thought of his former Captain Commander if he saw him now.

Taizen sat calmly in the garden where Rachel had last resided. He sighed, grabbing a watering bucket, slowly laying it over all the flowers in the garden. He seemed to have the patience of a Saint. The flowers seemed to go on endlessly, yet he continued watering them. He had been watering since Rachel was last there. He finally reached the last flower, staring down at it as he shifted the soil beneath it. He poured the water into the shifted soil, and in that very moment, the flower slightly grew, and the petals grew a little brighter in color.

 

Taizen walked over to the center of the garden, picking up the tea that had been so rudely left there. Taking the teapots and teacups, he went to the kitchen, placing them in the sink. After walking back to the garden, having been a good ten minute walk, he took a flower out of the vase, used as slight decoration for Rachel's "Afternoon Tea" and placed it back in the soil, slightly watering it. He looked over the garden that looked so elegantly, the flowers swaying in the slight breeze of the Soul Society.

 

After Taizen walked out of the garden, he came to arrive by Rachel, where he nodded as a bow, slowly walking past her with the remaining dishes. He placed them in the sink and began washing them. It seemed he had nothing better to do at the moment. Still, through all this action Taizen remained quiet.

[The D.M.]

Shoren waited in his own personal space waiting for an order just waiting "just wait my precious friend" he cooed to his zanpakuto still in sheath "soon you shall feast on the most wholesome of all nectars" he contined murmuring to his blade "soon you will drip red with the blood of soul reapers h-h-h-hheheheh" his breathy laugh echoed off of the boundaries of his space "but for now let us rest let us prepare for the battles to come" he lied down on the floor and closed his eyes and drifted into sleep

[Tempest Dahlia]

Rachel looked at the captain behind her. Ah, Shoren, her favorite. She never seemed to threaten him and was especially nice to him, although not so much. Why? Not even she knew. No one else would have lived after the way he just spoke to her so it was proof.

"Captain Shoren..." She said, Batticus on her lap. "Why is it you like killing so much?"

Why did she just ask this? She already knew what the answer would be, yet she couldn'r resist. She was still, nonetheless, curious to what he'd say.

[The D.M.]

Shoren awoke at his master's question "hmm why...why do i enjoy killing" he looked at his hands and to his Zanpakuto with a look on his face that first seemed like a distant pain and then his face straightened out again as he faced his master "I dont know anything about who i was and i dont know anything about who i will become master...the only time i find solace in this..." he had a hard time calling his existence a true life "in my being is when i am taking the life of another living thing it gives me pleasure just pure ecstasy" a shiver moved down his spine as he moaned a little at the thought of killing something "ive found nothing else that fills me with more joy" he looked Rachel dead in the eyes his expression never changing "that's all there is to it" he stated blankly

[Tempest Dahlia]

Rachel had acknowledged Taizen's presence earlier. After Shoren had finished his statement he looked at her in the eyes. She didn't know what it was, but something about him made her want to end it all... Was it pity? No, it couldn't be. She wasn't known to be piteous to anyone.

"Well, Captain..." She started, but she didn't finish. She didn't want to deprive him from his twisted desires.

"Very well Captain. If you wish, you may join the others, who already started the mission," she finished.

[Lord JZ of the Enigma]

Zensaki was in awe, the power being released had truly gone and shattered the human world, he looked over as Keisuke jumped towards Akuma, and he realized, this is it, there is no turning back and this is where we present ourselves to the Oligarchy, but Akuma was not the only one...there was another, he could tell by the feel in the air, it was Gerard."crap...looks like this day will seriously not end well." he brings out his Buster sword."this is gonna be a tough day..."

[The D.M.]

Shoren took his leave wondering what was going on with the way Lady Rachel was looking at him he contemplated this for a few seconds before he realized that his one route to happiness a decent slaughter was awaiting he began moving quickly very quickly almost that it seemed he was flying his blonde hair flowing in the wind and his angel-like face betraying his true motives he caught Keisuke,Akuma,and Zensaki's spiritual pressure and he knew there was a battle taking place he landed in the midst of ground zero and looked Zensaki dead in the eye with a longing to kill "Hello there...Shinigami" he said a cold expression on his face as he drew his Zanpakuto

[◊ Hᵃᵏᵃˢᵉ ◊]

Taizen had finished cleaning the dishes, storing them in a cabinet, not far above where the spices and sugars went. He placed the teapots and teacups on another pan, setting some water on the stove, letting it slowly warm up. "Ms. Rachel...." He said, these being his first words in about a week. "Akuma is taking it far. It seems he has found more than just one of the Corrupted Lords. As a matter of fact, I sense quite a few." He said, sighing a little more relieved then he seemed agitated. He had the best senses among the Oligarchy, but he seemed to hide them. He quickly looked over to Shoren, "That man is going to die, especially with that senseless mind of his." He said, returning to a pot screaming a screech of boiling. He took the tea packages, setting them gently in the hot water. "Your midnight tea will be ready by that time. Would you like me to do anything?" He asked Rachel blankly.

[The D.M.]

Shoren took his battle stance in front of Zensaki and then something happend to his composure he went from being beside himself with wanting to kill to becoming completley emotionless as he took his stance "Shinigami...know this...your blood will feed me and my Zanpakuto" Shoren said the words with firm conviction he KNEW this would come to pass "Shikai" he calmly stated as his spiritual aura came bursting from him and his now Sickle Shaped zanpakuto "Arm yourself...Shinigami"

 

ooc:and Dammit JZ wont be on till tommorow...well sh*t...im bored now

[zaneko]

Danni noticed the spiritual pressure approaching at high speed. She had been watching the fight start and had been bidding her time wisely. Seeing that Keisuke did not release his zanpakuto, she figured that he didn't want them to know who they were. She drew Nazokiba's two swords and clipped them together. If Keisuke didn't want to reveal their identities, she wouldn't spoil it be showing her dual blade zanpakuto. Those were too easily traced.

Danni charged Shoren as he prepared to strike Zensaki. She slammed his sickle with a powerful slash , knocking him off balance, then, with a series of rapid strikes, forced him back.

"Why don't you take me on instead?" she asked coldly.

 

ooc: bring it.

[Phantom Roxas]

Gerard sighed when he saw Zensaki. "It has been a long time. Almost didn't recognize you. I'm sorry to say, but Rachel's orders are you all to die. Though, I am grateful. You being alive proved my theory." He held his sold out and made a command. "Eviscerate, Kunshuginsei." His weapon took the form of a broadsword, with a large guard that became more armored, with various mechanisms included all over his sword. With a swing of his sword, dozens of throwing stars launched from the mechanisms, leaving behind specks of silver dust as the fired at Zensaki. With his left hand, he commanded "Way of Destruction 63: Raikoho!" A wave of yellow energy fired at Zensaki.

[Hydra of Ages]

Aski paused around the battlefield, as Keisuke jumped into the fray. His piecing eyes surveyed the scene; he knew immediately what would happen.

 

It was captain against captain. By all rights, their power should match eachother. However, Aski was smart enough to realize that if this was false, and the traitorous captains had achieved a type of power while they were gone, it was best for him to have a safety net.

 

He pressed both of his hands together, and closed his eyes, muttering quietly.

 

"The sparrow flaps its wings briskly, and the butterfly floats upon the winds. Be unto me like the wind unto the guardian breeze about the heralds of the sky. Bakudo Number 82- Eye of the Storm; Bariarashi" he said, releasing his hands. A wave of air billowed out from around him, creating an expanding, translucent halo-like artifact around a fairly large area, stopping several miles out before hovering in place. He nodded a little; that would be the safety net for the destruction of the entire area. A full-incantation shroud like that could block ridiculous amounts of Kido and Spiritual Energy, though it wasn't much use against a physical assault; it would prevent anything too destructive from affecting the city.

 

he clasped his hands once more. "Ye Lord, grant me a shield for which I may use to defend mine kin and mine own life. Beckon the light, the flame, and the winters to defy me, all shall be repelled. Bakudo Number 64- Grand Eight-part Shield; Soudai HatsuSeki" He completed, as a blue orb appeared, forming into a great, translucent shield in eight segments on his left hand.

[PrimalFear]

Hayate watched as now yet another Former Captain of the Gotei 13 showed up, this time being Shoren. "What will you do now Keisuke?" he asked himself. He figured with two former companions and a both being Captain class Shinigami he should probably step in to help the Corrupted Lords but he new it would give away his position and every advantage he had over his enemies. "I'm sure Keisuke knows I am here but I should at least let him know that I will step if action calls for it." Hayate started to draw specific markings on his arms, which will be animated by the spell to convey the message. "Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens, Bakudo number seventy seven Tenteikuura," he whispered. "Keisuke, it's Hayate. Don't speak just listen. If action calls for it I will step in but for now I will analyze our enemies. I will figure out what I can before entering this battle. But be warned I am not here to protect you other I am here for my own purpose," With that Hayate cut off the Kido spell and remained in silent.

[Andx]

"So many captains at once. Three of the five all at once. Darnit, Gerard knows who we are. Everything's been ruined in one shot. No point hiding it then." he thought. He cast off his hood and cloak now revealing his identity to the captains. Keisuke surged his own reiatsu proving he could make a force nearly as oppressive as Akuma.

"Lash out in the darkness! Kuroi Muchi!" He yelled. He was ready to get the fight going.

"Time to get serious guys. They know who we are so give them all you've got!" he said, his pressure increased still. His sword turned black and extended to about nine feet in length. It was for all intents and purposes a whip. Except this whip was as sharp as the best katana. Upon releasing he snapped the whip at Akuma who had yet to respond to anything. Probably caught up in his power. The whip cracked its small sonic boom as it moved towards Akuma. As he started the fight he thought, "I know you're watching Hayate. You have to know that we're in the right. Pick a side soon. I need to know if I can trust you or if I have to kill you."

[zaneko]

Danni threw back her hood with a wild grin.

"Now that I have permission to go all out..." Danni twirled her sword from hand to hand, eventually whirling it in front of her with both hands. I one swift, smooth movement, she separated the sword and spun a katana in each hand. He stopped the spin suddenly and crossed them in front of her. "Assemble yourself for me please, Nazokiba," she asked softly.

The two katana split down the middle and and along the collapsing ridges so that six pieces of metal drifted from the glowing core of the katana. The core sent out tendrils of light that held the pieces. The core expanded to meet the pieces and faded to reveal two black and silver swords, each about twice the size of the former katana. She twirled them and then connected them hilt to hilt, forming a bow-like weapon.

"Shall we get this started?"
