Participants: Tsukuyomi Kawada, Lagos Oscuras
World: Human World
Death Setting: Non Death Enabled
Rating: R
Location: It was at this time that the battle takes place in the Shopping district of Karakura Town. The area is crowded but destroyed and wrecked by the presence of a Gillian that Lagos has summoned to draw attention. The civilians have gone running and the whole place is in chaos.
Special Conditions: None
Circumstances: Tsukuyomi Kawada had been here at the time for whatever reason in Karakura as Lagos Oscuras is stirring up trouble and taking the lives of innocent civilian souls. He needs to do something and defeat her as Lagos' goal is to simply keep Hollow numbers high and Shinigami lives low. The battle has begun.

[Lagos Oscuras]

It was a Saturday afternoon in Karakura town and once again Lagos was here to keep the Shinigami count low and Hollow numbers rising. It was a seriously easy job seeing there were few around to stop her after the Vandenreich and Kuroi invasions. She came alone and currently found herself enjoying the environment. There was nobody to stop the Arrancar from killing Shinigami or really anyone around at her leisure. She had already killed six Shinigami within the past week and she was currently bored at the situation. It wasn’t fun patrolling around the area and occasionally killing the standard weakling. “Hmm. I seriously wonder what it is I should be doing in this hell hole. I could cause some trouble but I doubt anyone competent would come running.”

Lagos Oscuras was not entertained on her journey and thus she decided to make her presence known to all of those who might be interested in stopping her. Flaring her spiritual energy, she rested upon the rooftop of a decently large shopping market, looking down at the people down below. Surely there had to be a spiritually aware soul who would want to stop her. She was hoping to at least get a semi decent combatant to face her. Perhaps she would meet a Shinigami, or maybe even one of those lowly Quincy. Then again, Quincy were rarities in her line of sight. Lagos was waiting and waiting for something to come face her, but then again perhaps she was hoping too much.

Perhaps she needed something more intimidating to lure attention than just spiritual pressure alone. She needed destruction. She needed mayhem. She needed to instill terror within the humans in order to draw someone stronger than the run of the mill Shinigami. She had an idea soon afterwards. Reaching out into the air, she pulled a warp into existence, a black portal as the sky would seem to rip open. In that moment, there was a loud howl that filled the air as a pointed nose had made it’s way through. The familiar large terror known as a Gillian had been summoned by Lagos Oscuras as a pawn to lure a stronger opponent for her to exterminate. This Gillian was on the smaller side as it stood around fifteen feet tall and it howled loudly into the air as it would take a step, causing a crater in the earth causing several humans to run and scream in terror. “Go. Cause as much destruction and mayhem as you like. You will be rewarded when we return to Los Noches.”

The monstrous Gillian had howled loudly as it would form a red beam within it’s mouth before launching it down below, exterminating several humans with ease, disintegrating them out of existence as Lagos watched with guilty pleasure on her face. “Oh Shinigami~ Come out come out wherever you are.” Lagos couldn’t help but giggle a bit sadistically as she watched humans were trampled and vaporized. She was waiting for a threat to wipe this Gillian out so she could begin her fun. “I am doing my job and enjoying it at the same time. Surely a Shinigami will come to deal with this issue. If not, it is of no big loss to me.”

Lagos sat along the edge of the shopping mall as she watched the destruction occurring. There was charm of watching all of this death, and she hoped that majority of the people that died here would become Hollow and then perhaps Arrancar in time. She was going to make sure personally that all that opposed this mission would die as it was a task assigned to her from Shikihitsuko-Sama. For whatever purpose, she would not question. She was wondering why it was that the Shinigami were not sending more of their stronger officers to deal with the threat that was the growing Hollow and Arrancar presences within the area. She was just itching for something to do at the moment and she really didn’t have problems destroying the entirety of this town if it meant that she would get to have a thrilling battle. “Hmm...now I wait.”

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

The young straight black haired Kawada stood on the top of one of Karakura’s business tall towers looking out over the town that he had been coming to for little over a year now. He had originally been coming here after meeting the young Nakkabakki who went by the name of Vesta. She was a stunning red haired beauty that although he hadn’t seen in a while Tsukuyomi still couldn’t remove from his thoughts.

He hadn’t been coming to Karakura to only see her though not anymore at least. He had been promoted to a different division than the one that he had actually felt strongly about in regards to its purpose. He was no longer an enforcer of Soul Society’s laws, but now one of the warriors that were meant to eliminate its foes without a second thought. He had no choice, but to continue doing what was best for himself for his secret couldn’t be allowed out anymore than it already was or else he was at risk of being eliminated himself.

He was deep in thought wondering what he was going to do about his situation in the noble family of the Kawada and how the council was using him to get what they wished and yet still the family that he had been born into through his mother seemed to be in a state that no one could remedy. Tsukuyomi knew he couldn’t do it for he wasn’t strong enough and yet nor did he want to save it with how many of them treated him and others. They were cruel and prideful believing themselves to be unbeatable and yet Tsukuyomi had learned throughout his time as a Shinigami that he was anything, but invincible.

Tsukuyomi wasn’t here of his own accord though at least not today as there had been a series of killings in the last few days of Shinigami. Tsukuyomi had been ordered by the First Division to investigate what was going on in Karakura Town. He knew the system enough to know that what he had really been ordered to do is wait in the town for the next attack which would more than likely be after him and then eliminate whatever was doing it. He the Vice-Captain of the Eleventh Division had to make it clear that Soul Society’s military strength wasn’t something to trifle at no matter what faction or race one happened to be belong too.

It was for this reason that when the massive Gillina Hollows appeared from the gargantas that Tsukuyomi was surprised to see them. Instead he was ready to eliminate them as he was tasked. He couldn’t sense the reiatsu of all of them, but everything was easy to see. He began to jump from roof top to roof top getting closer and closer to each until he saw that the normal humans of Karakura Town were in far more danger then he could allow as a Shinigami.

“Descend From The Abyss Onto The Battlefield, Tsukuyomi-No-Mikoto.”Tsukuyomi whispered to himself as he unsheathed the katana at his left hip. The katana immediately transformed from what many would deem plain and the norm of a blade to a thing of beauty. A magnificent silver crescent blade was now held in his right hand as he stepped onto a nearby building and could see the nearest Gillian charging what he knew to be a cero.

Tsukuyomi spun on his heels swinging Mikoto around with him raising her gently upwards and then downwards as if she was gliding across the surface of water itself a beauty that no one was worthy of possessing. The three white moons that had been crafted as he had released his Shikai suddenly would rush outwards away from him all moving in the direction of each Gillian. A flick of his wrist though and as the white moon reached an intercepting point of the Gillian’s cero and the citizens below the color of the moon changed becoming a glistening gold.

As the scarlet reiatsu moved forwards the golden moon moved diagonally upwards right into the cero. What happened though was different than anything someone would have assumed due to the sheer difference in size. The massive cero began to disappear and move inwards while the golden moon grew in size expanding as if it were actually growing. What followed happened to all of the Gillian present nearly at the same time. Each moon rushed them and bashed through the white mask of their faces killing them and leaving the real threat to Tsukuyomi.

The young Kawada while he had been busy had been able to hear the sound of the Arrancar as she had spoken and while he couldn’t sense her reiatsu he knew she was the problem from the simple fact she could see the Gillian. Executing Shunpo just after he had sent his moons towards the Gillian Tsukuyomi would reappear in front of the Arrancar his stern eyes carried the authority of Soul Society as he moved Mikoto across to the left aiming to immediately kill this threat to Karakura. If she didn’t move or block the silver sword then this battle was going to be over before she even had a chance as Mikoto would slice through her face and end this crusade against Soul Society.

[Lagos Oscuras]

The gillian that she called upon had been vanquished with relative ease by another interloper it seemed. “Oh? Someone’s come to face me and one with a decent Shikai I hope? Wonderful.” She saw the Gillian’s masks had been bashed open with the blunt force that were several glowing moons by the look of it. She had a brief look at the Shinigami as he had looked at her in return. There was then a fast blur of movement as the fellow had come from below to the rooftop in an attempt to strike her. Lagos in that moment of sensing his powerful spiritual pressure had been pleased to find that he was decently stronger than most of the fodder Shinigami she dealt with in majority.

He appeared in front of her, aiming to swing his Zanpakutou to the left in order to end her existence. She had time to prepare for the approach of the foe of course, and in that moment she quickly drew her blade halfway out of it’s scabbard to block the incoming sword strike as she would not budge. She was as strong as a lion and crafty as a fox. In that moment, she would draw the rest of her blade, pushing outward to make the Shinigami stagger before reaching forward, grabbing the man’s face with her right hand and slamming the back of his skull against the concrete. Assuming that her action was a success, he would then feel a tough pain as she used Hierro to press her fingers into his skull. “Konichiwa Shinigami. My name is Lagos Oscuras and I commend you for making on scene in record time.” Her left hand was free to defend herself against any crafty measures the Shinigami might have against her.

“I don’t want to end the fun just yet, so get up and face me.” She would with her monstrous strength lift him up and then toss him out onto the rooftop to continue their fun. She made her fingers burrow in deep enough to cause the man to bleed and inhibit his eyesight with blood dripping across his face. Lagos on the other hand would remain unscathed as she had her Katana in her left hand. She was hoping the man would be more competent than this, or else she would be frankly disappointed. She was hoping that that he would at least force her to enter her Ressurecion. If not, she would have called all those Gillian here for nothing. Lagos had then observed him looking to see what rank he was, before noticing the Vice Captain’s badge that all Vice Captains are to wear whilst on duty.

“Ah. Please pardon my lack of manners Fukutaicho. Allow me to give you a more formal introduction. My name is Lagos Oscuras, Fraccion of Espada#4. I assume that blade you hold is your Shikai am I right?” She smiled with a friendly grin before she began to stretch her body as to remain loose and free to move as she pleased. Lagos had awaited a response as she was thrilled to have the opportunity to fight a Vice Captain. She wanted to test her strength to see if she was able to be considered equal to such a being. If she was, more power to her on the most part. “I hear that you Vice Captains are strong, so please do not disappoint me. Otherwise...you’ll die if you don’t come at me with your full power.” Whether she was boasting or lying, she didn’t really care. This was an enemy she could exploit and take out with no problem she was sure.

She wanted to know what the name of his Zanpakutou was. She also wanted to know what squad he might have been from. She had done studies on what squads held what roles just so she can gauge how strong one might be based on what squad they come from. Lagos was elated to have the chance to have a fun battle, at least what she assumed would be a fun battle. The man had nearly as much spiritual pressure as she did although not quite so much that he would be able to completely disable the power that was known as her Hierro based on the general gauge of his power and hers. “Have you come here to kill me Shinigami? Or what silly notion do you think that you think you would do to an Arrancar?”

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Tsukuyomi had already released Mikoto having realized a while back that fighting against the majority of foes that sought to eliminate life would require him to begin off with at least her in order to make sure that nothing that could happen from the start couldn’t be made up for later. It was due to that realization and change in his manner of fighting that Tsukuyomi was able to do fine against this Arrancar that seemed to feed off destruction.

He had seen her and executed Shunpo enabling him to accelerate his pace so that he was able to appear in front of her after only a moment and then bring Mikoto across in an attempt to slice through her face and end her before she could bring about anymore destruction to Karakura Town. However, it seemed that she wasn’t completely a push off either as she was fast enough to draw her zanpakuto and intercept Mikoto.

The strength behind her zanpakuto was realized immediately as Tsukuyomi had far more experience dealing with monsters of physical might than the majority of seated officers in Soul Society. As the Arrancar pushed backwards with her zanpakuto in an attempt to get him off balance she’d find that something like that wasn’t going to work on a Shinigami like him as he hopped backwards using her own strength against her enabling him to get further away and out of her reach.

As her hand extended in an attempt to grab his head Tsukuyomi would swing Mikoto the crescent curve of the blade slashing against the palm of the Arrancar’s hand causing sparks and light to fill the air as the collision occurred. “Damn her Heirro is to dense to get through.” Tsukuyomi thought to himself knowing that Mikoto definitely knew it as she had been the one to try and get through the skin of the Arrancar and failed to do so.

Tsukuyomi was now a few paces away from the Arrancar no more than three meters with enough space between them that if both of their zanpakutos were extended the blades wouldn’t be able to touch one another. This Arrancar began to speak and it seemed she was looking for a challenge based on her words, actions and the confidence that might as well have been oozing from her body.

Suddenly as the Arrancar continued to speak Tsukuyomi was also inside of his inner world standing on the moon with Mikoto in front of him. “We’ve got to find some way through her Heirro or else most of our attacks aren’t going to do anything.” Tsukuyomi was thinking out loud to her while posing the question of how they were going to manage something like that. “You seriously need more practice in the real world boy. We’ve multiple options to get through that ugly skin it’s all a matter of what’s best at the moment.”

Mikoto was a true warrior someone that didn’t care about her foes and only sought to eliminate them completely. He had been trying to become more and more like her and while it was difficult he felt that it was for the best in order to survive. “If you have to I’ll give you further aid, but for the moment use that disgusting confidence against her.” Tsukuyomi nodded his head once and then like that was back in reality completely.

He got back just in time to hear the introduction of this Arrancar as the Fraccion of the Fourth Espada.This Arrancar could possibly become an Espada in the future if that were true which meant that Tsukuyomi had no time to hold back or give her any kind of chance. It’s for this reason that when she began to stretch while she spoke Tsukuyomi would appear to blur.

Stepping forwards towards her Tsukuyomi would hold Mikoto outwards with his right hand while executing Movement in order to make his speed increase by triple what he was naturally capable of achieving. In the moment that followed if this Arrancar did nothing than Mikoto’s curved edge would smash into her left eye. The blade would stop at the surrounding of the eye not being able to get through the Heirro, but her eye itself would be sliced down the center vertically leaving it blind.

Whether or not it was successful Tsukuyomi would then vanish executing Shunpo enabling him to move to the right side which if he had been successful this Arrancar wouldn’t be able to see at all anymore. Holding tightly onto Mikoto Tsukuyomi would swing her blade outwards towards the Arrancar. Two small white orbs would suddenly be channeled and flung from Mikoto’s curved body right towards the body of the Arrancar flying at a speed of 500 with every intention of slamming into her and sending her backwards.

[Lagos Oscuras]

There seemed to be some promise to her foe as he seemed to be able to react by stepping back to avoid being grabbed by Lagos and then he swung his blade for Lagos’ palm. That was the first and last big mistake that Tsukuyomi would be making in this battle. There was a clang against Lagos’ skin but there was still a shed of blood as the damage was mitigated to some extent. The palm’s outer skin was sliced slightly but thanks to her strength with her Hierro, it didn’t go too far and she bled slightly. but the strength of his blow just wasn’t enough to deal a fearsome blow. Using her Hierro enforced hand, she would clench her fingers over the blade before yanking Tsukuyomi to her. There were two results that could happen here. Either Tsukuyomi was going to release the blade, or he would have his shoulder popped out by the sudden yank Lagos delivered, also bringing him stumbling to Lagos. Thus would begin the next fearsome aspect of Lagos’ combat style

Assuming he was yanked closer to Lagos, she had opened her mouth to reveal a yellow sickly energy glowing in her mouth before delivering a Cero out at point blank of very large proportions. It was large enough to the point that the very rooftop behind Tsukuyomi was caught in the blast, seemingly being disintegrated in it's powerful blast. Either Tsukuyomi would be most certainly forced to let go of Mikoto at this point, or the Cero would blast him, sending him crashing into a distant building before exploding anyways with his blade in Lagos’ hands. The woman would after having assumably stolen her enemies weapon, would sheath her normal blade before wielding Mikoto with her bleeding hand. “Pretty little sword this is Shinigami.” Lagos flicked her blood onto the rooftop as she had looked on ahead at her foe. It hurt slightly, but thankfully thanks to her Hierro and her strength she was able to prevent herself from losing her hand.

The Cero would have blown a hole in the wall of the building that Tsukuyomi crashed in, and he would be alive. There was no time to talk to the Zanpakutou spirited assuming this action was a success, and Lagos would would find herself a nice blade to use. “I think this is the tool I will use to kill you. You little gnat.” Lagos would stand there, waiting to see if Tsukuyomi would be coming again, or if perhaps he was dead. Not many could tank a Cero and survive, but she had faith that a Vice Captain would be capable of surviving it. As for now, she wielded Mikoto as a weapon, swinging it back and forth as she stabbed the floor and experimented with it. It was decently sharp and she was sure it would find better usage in her hands from this point.

“You cut my hand and that’s something you deserve praise for. If you return here, I think I’ll show you something truly terrifying. Come and face me and let’s see where things go shall we?” The foxy Arrancar had taken a step off the rooftop before utilizing the airground and walking towards his general location. “I want to see just how strong you are. Show me something that I should be thrilled by. Show me your lust for battle and allow us to dance a battle.” Lagos had giggled at the thrill she was feeling right now. She wanted her enemy to come and face her like a man. “LET’S BATTLE SHINIGAMI!”

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Tsukuyomi was surprised to watch as the curved edge of Mikoto drew a slight amount of blood from this Arrancar's body. He had always been taught and told by his former Captain that Arrancar were incredibly powerful entities that possessed armor skin that with his spiritual prowess he wouldn't be able to get through if it was anyone significant. It was for this reason that the young Shinigami hadn't actually thought that Mikoto would be able to inflict any type of wound upon her and had reacted based on instinct and experience.

It seemed that the Arrancar was fast enough to bring about her own plans for victory as her small fingers grasp Mikoto and with her superior strength Tsukuyomi knew that he wouldn't be able to pull his zanpakuto from her grasp. Only thanks to the training that he had receives along with the experience of prior battles against individuals of mighty strength was Tsukuyomi able to step backwards without a second thought while moving his right arm in a circular motion enabling the long silver chain that wrapped around his arm as a connection to Mikoto lengthen as a small section was pulled off of his arm. This worked as a countermeasure to this Arrancar's plan to pull Tsukuyomi to her and his shoulder out of socket as she pulled and the only thing that would seem to happen would a chain would appear coming from Tsukuyomi's sleeve.

In the following moments that passed Tsukuyomi would take a step backwards while gripping ahold of the chain with his fingers and moving the chain slightly in some unknown manner that wouldn't seem to make any sort of sense or purpose if the Arrancar notice them. As that happened Tsukuyomi was keeping his eyes focused on the Arrancar and could see the yellow reiatsu being channeled in her mouth and knew that in the moment that followed he'd be blasted with the cero that she was charging and it was for this reason that she'd more than likely view him as suicidal as he didn't express any sort of facial change simply starring at her with his stern cold eyes.

In the moment that followed though things worked out much differently than even onlookers would have assumed if there were any present. This Arrancar was holding Mikoto and just as she was able to fire off her cero towards Tsukuyomi something unexpected happened just below her mouth. Mikoto released two new white moons the size of basketballs directly below the Arrancar. This Arrancar had no clue what ability the white moons possessed due to not facing them herself and only seeing that they were capable of smashing into others with incredible speed and force.

It's because of all these reasons that as the Arrancar would try to release her cero she'd find pain. The cero was pulled downwards by the gravitational pressure of both white moons causing the lower half of her mouth to be incredible burnt. The part of the cero that wasn't kept inside of her mouth though by her Heirro would move around the white moons circling around the both of them touching the Arrancar slightly burning her a bit until the cero pulled away from the influence of the moons and was sent flying off into the sky.

Tsukuyomi wasn't going to just stand in his position and do nothing though as he pressed on the chain once again causing the moons in front of the Arrancar to suddenly rush forwards at a speed of 500 and hopefully slam into her torso with enough force that she'd be sent backwards even without suffering damage because of her Heirro. Unless she really kept her mind on it she'd release Mikoto from her grasp more than likely and at that moment Tsukuyomi would pull on the chain bringing Mikoto back to him after a few moments. That wasn't the only thing though as he had turned his head quickly to spot the larger golden moon hovering in the air and then pressing on the chain once again it would start moving towards him.

This battle between Shinigami and Arrancar was just getting started, but although Tsukuyomi was so used to fighting individuals far more powerful than himself in virtually every way at the moment this battle actually seemed like one that he could emerge victorious without having to worry about his other half. He was experienced enough though to know that letting down his guard was bad and as such he'd keep his senses alter and his reflexes fine tuned to react to whatever this Arrancar was going to do next.

[Lagos Oscuras]

The man in front of her seemed not to be a slow one seeing he stepped back, extending some sort of chain of some sort that was wrapped around his blade. ‘What do you think that is going to accomplish?’ In that moment, Lagos had yanked the blade connected to the chain to bring it closer to her before using her free hand to yank on the chain connected to the man’s sleeve. Her Cero was charging and Lagos was going to have a bit of fun with this figure she was sure. The yellow blast had fired out but with the appearance of two white projectiles, something puzzling had occurred. A searing burning had been felt as her yellow energy began to revolve around these stone moons before shooting off into the sky and exploding as twin blasts. She hissed as a burn had appeared on her chin and her chest had been injured. Now Lagos was mad...she had been hurt by her own Cero. This Shinigami just made a really big mistake. As the moons were sent flying for her, she opened her mouth to speak.

“Sly. Vulpecas.” There was a tremendous rise in spiritual power as the aura itself should be enough to stop the moons from attacking for a moment. There was a crushing power as the chain would shake from the force that was being released, and the concrete would crack around the area. The fox mask would cackle madly before it’s empty eye sockets glew a sickly yellowish color. Her body seemed to convulse as suddenly there were nine tails that sprouted from behind her. If the moons were to continue their assault, there would soon be something else to stop them. “Fuerza Del Mundo Superior.” The moons would be stopped dead in their tracks by an invisible force of wind before suddenly, there was a strong breeze which turned into a buffeting force. There had been within a mere moment a swirling dome of wind that expanded 100 feet to entrap both the Shinigami and Arrancar in an enclosed space. The force was so powerful, it should be a struggle for Tsukuyomi to stand on his feet while Lagos seemed completely unimpeded. The moons were being wrapped in wind and kept locked, but within a mere moment they were sliced at rapidly by the power of wind itself before the chain connecting the sword to Tsukuyomi would also be sliced. “How...dare you harm me. You insignificant scum. With my own power nonetheless.”

She seemed rather tense before she manifested her spiritual weapon in her right hand, a Naginata which stood as tall as she did. “Be afraid Shinigami. You’ve made me mad.” She would whip one of her tails lightly to the man as a small blade of wind would attempt to slice his cheek. Lagos assuming all of her former actions were a success, would whisp her tails all at the same time to launch projectiles of wind from every direction to slam into Tsukuyomi which moved at the speed of 1000. No step techniques would be able to be used seeing if they were, the man would be picked up by the force of the wind and sliced to ribbons either way. “Hahahaha! Fight me Shinigami! Do something if you can! Entertain me!” She seemed crazed with a look of madness on her face while she moved her tails and naginata in an orchestration of this battle.

In her true form, she would be able to play with the Shinigami further and have no fear about any of his abilities. She was waiting for the right moment, that moment of despair to rip him to shreds with her power. Or perhaps she should burn him? No no, perhaps drown him in the waters she could create? The Kyuubi incarnate had looked to the man to see what her powers would yield to him. Her Ressurecion was not something she normally threw around easily, but this man had injured her and deserved to see if before she would kill him. That sounded rather appropriate. The wind she manipulated had no effect on her, and it seemed just to be as if she was in a place where the wind would not strike. However, most everything else in the environment was effected. 

If Tsukuyomi could not defend himself against these wind projectiles, he would soon find himself impaled and ripped through by several wind bullets at catastrophic speeds while Lagos stood roughly eight feet away from this point. The effeminate Arrancar was looking for excitement...so hopefully Tsukuyomi could defend himself or else he was going to die. Stepping was dangerous, blocking would be difficult considering these projectiles came from every which direction, and finally he was going to have to deal with these projectiles for the whole entirety of the release. Lagos couldn't help but smile at the thought of such fun.

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Tsukuyomi was standing his ground against this female Arrancar who still seemed to be fine for the most part even after the cero that she had been charging in the plans to use against him had been turned against her and burnt her chin and a small portion of her chest. It had been successful as far as keeping it from harming him and doing some damage against her that much was for sure, but Tsukuyomi had been expecting her to take on more serious injuries then what was present at the moment. It was for this reason that he was remaining extra cautious and making sure that his guard was never dropped and his plans never outdone.

What came next was slightly unexpected yet nothing that Tsukuyomi hadn't been anticipating since realizing that an Arrancar was attacking Karakura Town. This female was releasing her true power just as his white moons were rushing towards her. As the built up sickly yellow reiatsu flourished around the Arrancar it knocked away both of the white moons that were nearly upon her preventing them from doing anything at the moment. They were pushed back a few feet and stayed stationary for the moment as Tsukuyomi awaited the new form of the Arrancar.

What he saw was a being of nine tails and the reiatsu of a dying animal. If she hadn't been formidable prior to this which in truth she already had been, then she definitely was now. Tsukuyomi had studied Arrancar like many other Shinigami, but due to his position as the Vice Captain of the Eleventh Division he had to know all about the enemies of Soul Society. It was something that he took very seriously in order to defeat those that he knew his own power couldn't. If not through power alone then he'd defeat all through skill and planning.

He wasn't sure what type of power this Arrancar would have as she hadn't shown any real sign of a true specialization with her reiatsu outside of her Ressuression. He didn't have to wait long to find out though as he felt the air change and the wind pick up. "So she can use the wind as a tool." Tsukuyomi thought as he began to think of a plan in order to fight against that which was all around him. He didn't have much chance to do anything though as suddenly he could see his moons being pushed backwards away from her even further and in the moment that followed he to was pushed backwards by a force of wind.

Reacting swiftly Tsukuyomi bent forwards awaiting for the moment that the wind would break for a moment. As it did his body dropped back to the roof of the building his feet supporting the rest of him and making his landing nothing more than a simple jump in terms of what it did to his body. However, the problem now was that Tsukuyomi couldn't actually move around at his normal rate in this wind nor could he stand fully. He had to stay in a hunched over position in order to stay on his feet and keep his eyes on this Arrancar.

Watching from his position now at the edge of the buildings roof Tsukuyomi could see the white moons that were placed near the Arrancar being sliced apart and then the chain that was a part of Mikoto was severed as well. "So she can use the wind to cut from a distance." Tsukuyomi knew now what the offensive capabilities of her release were and was able to anticipate her actions better than simply going off a generalization of Arrancar knowledge. As all of the tails were whipped towards him though sending out nine blades of wind towards him that moved faster than he could even while using Movement Tsukuyomi knew she was a problem.

He also knew though that she had just wasted her chance to eliminate him right off the bat with her release. She simply had used up all of the time that she had at her disposal to get rid of him while he couldn't really do anything. The reason why? The Celestrial Devourer had been moving towards Tsukuyomi for the last few seconds and just now Tsukuyomi had wiggled the chain that was around his arm downwards activating perhaps the strongest ability of Mikoto. Lunar Dance was a technique that enhanced the speed of any moon he wished and there was only one that mattered at the moment.

The golden moon would arrive only a few feet in front of Tsukuyomi at a speed of 2500 and just as it did all nine of the wind blades that were sent flying towards Tsukuyomi suddenly were absorbed into the golden moon feeding it's endless hunger. As the blades of wind were absorbed into the golden moon something very obvious would be visible though. It had already absorbed the cero of a Gillian and because of that it was already bigger than it had been when it had been turned into the golden moon from the standard new white moon.

Normally the size of the moons were only about as big as basketball being two and a half feet in circumference. After it had absorbed the cero of the Gillian the golden moon had grew using the reiatsu of the Hollow to increase it's own size. As it had appeared in front of Tsukuyomi it had been just over four feet in circumference. Now though it was massive. Each blade of wind that it had absorbed had been used a fuel to grow further and further until now the celestial devourer was something else completely now.

The roof that the both of them were standing on was crushed pushed in by the sheer size while everything within view of both was now golden. The celestial devourer had never gotten so big and Tsukuyomi himself was shocked at what Mikoto was capable of achieving. Karakura Town was dwarfed by what looked to be an actual small moon or meteor as the golden moon was now nearly seven hundred feet in circumference. Tsukuyomi was no longer anywhere near the Arrancar as he had jumped up and used the growth of the moon to carry him to it's new size. Multiple buildings away Tsukuyomi would stand far outside the reach of the Arrancar's wind as he held a section of the chain in his hand and raised it.

The celestial devourer would rise at a speed of 250 upwards. Tsukuyomi had to be on guard looking in all directions as he wasn't sure of the Arrancar's exact location. He knew that if she hadn't reacted in the moment that followed her attack she would have been knocked backwards from the size of his moon sending her flying backwards and more than likely onto a different building or through one. This was something that Tsukuyomi in truth never expected. He had used the technique in the past, but never had it gotten so big and now he was left wondering. Just how big could it get?

[Lagos Oscuras]

When all nine of her attacks struck the moon, the first thing she noticed immediately was that it began to grow at a ridiculous proportion. Although, the growth wasn’t instantaneous thankfully. Lagos took example to Tsukuyomi and had leaped onto the moon before it took off into the air. However, considering that moon had also by extension hit her dome of wind, devouring it, it would grow once again. Now the moon was the total size of 1,178 feet roughly. This was the most pissed off she had ever been! In fact, she didn’t think a Shinigami has ever, ever, ever made her this angry before. This Shinigami was going to die.

She followed his movement up his moon, and so she would follow, running a short sprint before using the air ground to gain an aerial vantage point to see him. “Shinigami, you can’t escape from me this way.” Using Sonido, the fox woman would move at the speed of 4,550 to appear in front of Tsukuyomi using the airground in order to gain a vantage footing above Tsukuyomi. However, as soon as he would witness her, she would use the Sonido a second time to appear behind Tsukuyomi before exiting and using a technique known as Sonido Gaara to use her left arm which held her halberd to spin and strike at Tsukuyomi’s back with her weapon. Assuming the blow landed, it would rip him open, send him flying, and then she would use her technique False Rapture in order to finish the battle in the most painful method possible. However, if he were to block her halberd with his sword somehow, he would find that he would likely be flung backwards from her strength only for his legs to be caught by her tails to where he would be pulled and his face would be slammed into his own moon as False Rapture would happen anyways.

Either way, so long as she made physical contact with him either with her tails and or weapon, he would find himself feeling something entering his body. It was incredibly painful as it would feel as if his body was burning. It would be incredibly unbearable as a chain would suddenly burst from his chest covered in mouths as a hole would open up in his chest. He would find at this moment that the chain would bite the open air, looking for sustenance. More specifically, him. This chain was his chain of fate. She was sending him through the process of Hollowfication one could say. The chain would have the durability of the same Reiatsu Strength he has, and he now had two options. Either he could pay 4000 reiatsu and survive which he couldn’t do, break his chain and immediately lose all spiritual abilities and fall 250 feet from the air to his death, and or pay 1000 reiatsu a post until all 4000 reiatsu is paid which would delay the inevitable. Lagos if successful would end Primera Etapa as her release ending would be the cost.

Lagos would be back in her humanoid state as the moon should be gone if False Rapture was successful. Assuming he paid 1000 reiatsu a post, Lagos would take a deep breath as she felt exhaustion. She could most certainly survive so long as he loses his reiatsu and dies. Of course his chain would be in his way and was now a viable target for her to target. If she could break it, he would lose his powers regardless. She would feel tired yes, but it was worth the cost to see this fellow suffer. Either he would die from his power...or destroy it and die anyways. What a beautiful thought.

Her left arm would feel tired from using Sonido Gaara, and she would now be holding her standard Katana once again. She would shake her arm as she shook her head. Tsukuyomi would certainly be alive, but what was he going to do about it? What with having to expend 1000 reiatsu a post, he would be getting just as tired as her within a minute or two. If she wasn’t so pissed, she would be giggling in glee. However, she didn’t feel so happy at the moment if anyone could guess despite having taken very little damage.

4. Technique Name: [False Rapture]

Class: []

Technique Type: [N/A]

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [Arrancar]

Technique Element: [N/A]

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): [This is Lagos’ ultimate Primera Etapa attack, and allows for her to Rapture all souls who are caught within contact of her with her and her weapon. This technique is her most powerful technique, and it ends the release instantly within the moment it is cast. Those that are touched by Lagos’ weapon and or any part of her body will find that their spiritual energy is displaced as she physically inserts Hollow/Arrancar Reirokyu into the body. It is then that it roots into the body of the host as it quickly causes the soul chain to burst from the opponent's chest and begin to try and devour the owner of the chain. This technique however ends the release immediately which is is a double edged sword and also costs costs a whopping 2000 reiatsu. Any elements manipulated by Lagos at that moment grows erratic before blasting off in every direction. This technique is a double edged sword for a number of reasons, but is a rather interesting way to finish someone off. If they break their chain, they remain spiritually powerless to stop Lagos from killing them at that point. And if they do not break their chain, they are devoured and eaten alive leaving only their clothes. The chain may only be sated by feeding it double the cost of Lagos’ 2000 reiatsu cost. While this isn't impossible, it is extremely hard and as a result is going to tire out her foes tremendously. Assuming that one does not have 4000 reiatsu, there is an alternative. One may shut the chain up by feeding it 1000 reiatsu for a single post, but it shall come back out from the chest until 4000 is paid. One may try to slow down the chain by placing Bakudo and such on or around it, but the Chain will have equal the amount of reiatsu strength of the one it came from. A friend may pay the rest of the sum in case of having an ally, but the chain shall then attack that person next. Once 4000 reiatsu is paid, the chain shall seal into the being it came from. Other Arrancar, Vizards, and Hollow are immune for the chain to be sated as they are resistant to hollow energy. Quincy that are attacked with this will die from incredible painful torture as the chain eats them, or they must pay a 5000 reiatsu cost in order to survive. Vizards are immune to this technique as is anyone with a higher offensive stat or class. ]

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Standing atop of the massive moon Tsukuyomi looked out able to overlook not only Karakura Town, but now the surrounding landscape around the town of spirituality. This moon had been used against other foes in the past, but never had it ever gotten this big. Tsukuyomi couldn't help, but feel as if he was actually invoking more problems than solutions with it this big. If he messed up his control over it then it could easily fall onto Karakura Town and with it's current size it would take out more than a single building. He had to be even more careful and precise than normal.

The Arrancar that was his current foe came into view as she ran up the curve of the moon. Staying on the moon wasn't something that she seemed all that accepting of though as she jumped upwards and solidified the reiatsu in the air to create an air ground. She was looking down at him now and Tsukuyomi up at her ready at any moment for her to try something else now. He could see based on her facial expressions although hard to make out clearly due to the distance between them, she was very angry at the fact her last attack hadn't been able to take him out.

“Shinigami, you can’t escape from me this way.”

It seemed that this battle was going to continue and he was going to have to get more serious in order to defeat her and keep her from causing further damage to Karakura Town. As the Arrancar vanished and appeared in front of him Tsukuyomi kept calm his training gifting him with a level so sturdy that most attempts at faking him out or trying to take him off his guard were fruitless. It was for that reason that when the Arrancar vanished once again in order to appear behind him she would appear behidn nothing. Tsukuyomi was talented and a rather accomplishd practitioner of movement based techniques and for that reason when she would reappear she'd see nothing in front of her as he had executed Shunpo just as she executed Sonido the second time.

"Cast Out the True Nature. Honshitsu."

Tsukuyomi spoke softly in a mellow manner as he drew his wakashi which shifted as it released into shikai turning into what looked like a crudely made wakashi of iron with thick black leather wrapped around the hilt that connected it to Tsukuyomi as the black leather wrapped around his left arm all the way up to his shoulder. This was something that most foes didn't ever take into consideration when facing off against him. He was one of the rare Tsukuyomi that possessed more than a single Zanpakuto and Tsukuyomi was capable with both of his now it was time to eliminate this threat.

He knew that there was another problem though. His connection to Mikoto wasn't just a problem in the physical realm at the moment. She had been released long enough and from his constant training using her he had come to know her limitations on being released. If he didn't do so once again within the next minute than she was going to return to his inner world and all of the moons that he had crafted from his reiatsu would vanish. He couldn't allow the giant devouror to disappear so focusing his reiatsu into the silver chain that was wrapped around his right arm Tsukuyomi continued to release of Mikoto.

He was standing to the left of the Arrancar roughly fifteen feet away from her as the moon beneath them both continued to rise up through the air at a speed of 250. Tsukuyomi could feel the cold air that was pushing against him as they moved through it. He had to finsih this Arrancar though that was the top priority now that she wasn't in a position to do anymore damage to Karakura. Holding Honshitsu out in front of him with the blade extended directly at the Arrancar this fight was over. Executing Shunpo once again Tsukuyomi would move forwards at 4650 speed directly in front of the Arrancar with Honshitsu's blade set to stab directly into her stomach.

Tsukuyomi knew that her Heirro would offer her some protection and the normally lethal attack in fact would deal all that much damage to her beyond perhaps getting through her flesh and causing a moderate wound. However, just as Honshitsu would touch her stomach the crude blade would engulf itself in blue flames that would start to burn the Arrancar's stomach including the flesh that it would get through. It would cause the Arrancar far more pain than simply getting stabbed. This fight was getting serious now and this Arrancar was going to learn she had found an opponent not to be underestimated.

[Lagos Oscuras]

How damn annoying this pesky Shinigami was. Peskily dodging and not falling for her ruses. As he used his Shunpo at the moment she appeared behind him, she was not amused by his little games. Due to the man suddenly not being there, she did not use her Sonido Gaara. It was then...she heard the second release call and a burst of reiatsu. It was thanks to that she immediately turned to face her foe. “Tch...pesky.” As she turned to Tsukuyomi, she watched his metamorphosis with slight interest. “A second Shikai? Hahaha! What an interesting development.” However, her voice darkened as she clenched her Naginata tightly. She watched the moon slowly rise as the Shinigami dared to point his blade out at her.

Watching his movements, she saw his legs tense...preparing for a Shunpo hmm? She could predict it. That blade being pointed at her was for the motion of a thrusting attack due to her battle experience. She prepared herself as the man used his step. As soon as she heard the step, she immediately felt the blade puncture her body. She had prepared for this. However, she would step forward, driving herself deeper on the blade before using the Sonido Gaara with her right arm to push out and not only grab, but crush Tsukuyomi’s esophagus with an extremely fast and powerful clamp. “Grrgh!” No vital spots were pierced...that was good. Despite the burning sensation, if this attack hit Tsukuyomi, she would squeeze her clawed hand to crush his windpipe with hidden power. Not only this, but her tails would quickly wrap and immobilize his arms preventing his movement.

“B-Baka!” Looking down at the blade into her stomach, she would clench harder still on Tsukuyomi’s throat she decided to end him quickly. She had enough of his stupidity! “Cero.” In that moment, a yellow energy would burn and seemingly fry his flesh as she acted. “Shine…” Assuming she was successful, the man’s whole entire head, and most of his upper torso would be slammed with a force of disintegrating Reiatsu. Due to the sheer force and power, if it didn’t disintegrate him outright, his arms would forcibly be ripped from his body considering the fact she was holding them. Both blades would be in severed hands as the man’s body would go through incredibly burning sensations before the beam would rip a gigantic hole through his chest. Slamming into a building, the man would then promptly explode upon the Cero contacting it.

Assuming she was successful, Lagos grunted...with steam rising from her stomach as she removed the blade from her stomach. Blood would drip from her now open wound, but now with her possessing both the blades Honshitsu and Tsukuyomi, she thought about...these so called Zanpakutou spirits. She was going to try something she had never done before. She was going to harm these spirits in a way that most might not be able to comprehend. What would happen if she tried to use false rapture on the blades themselves? It was a thrilling thought! Despite the fire still burning, she would try nonetheless. If it didn’t work, she wouldn’t lose any reiatsu to begin with. It was a win win situation.

Pouring her Hollow Reirokyu into both of these Zanpakutou, she would wait to observe...what kind of hellish reaction might occur, if any at all. This battle was over if he was hit with those Cero. This would just be an insult to injury. Of course it was costly and it would cost almost all of her reiatsu. Although it would be worth the cost. She might have considered using it on the Shinigami, but then she realized he just wasn’t worth it. Killing him was something more fitting in her eyes. Had she defeated a Fukutaicho of the 13 court guard squads? If she had, this woman had a feat to add under her name. Her right arm was achish...but that was alright. She would have time to rest back at Las Noches.

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

The muscles of his body tensing as motions of movement began to take place in the river of flowing time it seemed that this Arrancar was able to perceive these movements of Tsukuyomi's body and anticipate what was going to happen just as he would accelerate his natural speed and in next instead be directly in front of her with Honshitsu already stabbed into her stomach with the blue flames of the short crude looking zanpakuto burning the inside of her body causing even greater wounds than the actual blade could cause with such a simple yet sudden stab.

The battle between these two entities was truly heating up as it appeared that neither was holding back much anymore and both were doing everything that they could think of in order to kill the other and emerge victorious. This Arrancar if she managed to kill him was going to continue her onslaught of Karakura town and Tsukuyomi knowing how Soul Society normally worked knew that there wouldn't be anyone to stop her from killing dozens if not hundreds of normal humans if she managed to bring him down so there was only one option open to him. He had to kill her.

When Tsukuyomi moved and used the movement to stab right into the stomach of the Arrancar he was actually slightly surprised by just how much of Honshitsu's blade managed to get through her Heirro and into the internal workings of her body. This Arrancar while it was a spiritual entity and such a wound wouldn't result in defeat let alone death like a normal human this was much more sever than Tsukuyomi had even been anticipating. The good news didn't last long though as in the next instant just as Tsukuyomi was ready to finish the Arrancar off he felt a heavy blow just below his throat in the center of his collar bone and knew he was being sent backwards away from the Arrancar because of it.

Tsukuyomi could tell that his collar bone was fractured if not broken and that physical movement of his head was going to cause him pain now. He had to make every moment count though and at the moment it did't seem like that could have worked out much better as Honshitsu's blue flames spread further inside of the Arrancar burning more of her flesh from the inside out roasting her alive and causing unbearable pain to her chest. Her internal organs would start to suffer damage from the heat and body of the fire not to mention the skin across her stomach would begin to turn a darkish red as it began to burn away all health from it until eventually all that would be left would be a black burnt surface.

The Arrancar wasn't so lucky though for there were other factors that Tsukuyomi had set up to cause her even further pain. The moon below both of them that they were fighting on possessed the ability to attract and absorb any reiatsu within five feet of itself. Honshitsu's blue fire was being manifested from the blade itself which was currently lounged inside of her stomach. Based on Lagos's height this was within that range which meant one thing. The blue fire that was filling her body and burning it from the inside was also being pulled downwards through her towards the moon. Burning more of her internal workings and her chest and legs as it was dragged down and then absorbed into the moon further increasing the size. In that single instant the distance between the both of them seemed to multiple by one hundred times what it had been as now they were starred at each other from more than a few dozen feet away.

It had been an unexpected increase in size one that Tsukuyomi in truth hadn't been ready for and thus the final attack he had been ready to unleash upon this Arrancar could no longer be executed against her. The size of the moon had just gone from 1,178 feet to in the next instant being approximately 2,062 feet. The moon had nearly doubled once again and now it's size was truly beginning to get dangerous to Karakura itself. There was space between the both of them now more than fifty feet of it actually, but there was one very big problem that was easy to see for both of them now. While the Arrancar was being burned from Honshitsu she wasn't the one in the worst situation from an outside eye. Tsukuyomi was no longer holding either of his zanpakuto. He would stand at the fifty feet distance the long black leather connecting him to Honshitsu as he awaited the actions of this Arrancar.

[Lagos Oscuras]

It was at this moment that Lagos had been partially successful in her goal. By slamming her arm into the man’s esophagus, she felt the collarbone snap in multiple areas. However, the main goal of such an attack is to destroy the jugular and cause a suffocation of blood. Although, the burning sensation was absolutely terrible as she could feel it...cooking her inside out. Damn the Shinigami. Pulling the burning blade out by the handle as his very moon would begin to absorb the raging fire, that pain would subside within time. “Hrrgh.” A light vomit of blood before she looked to the gaping hole in her stomach. She stood strong, but did not dare surrender screams of pain. Many knew that Lagos was far too prideful for such behavior.

The fire was sucked into the moon, and conveniently, that meant that he would be unable to fight her properly. With the single wound she had inflicted, moving his head would be something difficult, if impossible to do. In a fight, that was a suicide sentence. It was a critical wound that needed medical attention, desperately. Grasping the Katana, she stabbed the flaming blade into the very large moon as deep as she could itself as she took a deep breath. She had him on the ropes. Halting her movement, she grasped the leather wrapped around Tsukuyomi’s arm and connected to this blade as she made her way closer, her Naginata handle lightly tapping on the surface. “It seems...perhaps you weren’t utterly pitiful as your lower comrades. However, I shall not fall to such trash. I-I...am strong!” Feeling the burning sensation of her organs and lower limbs, she stopped for a moment.

She had him pinned. She had her weapon free. The damage...the damage was greater than she anticipated. She wasn’t going to be able to run to him. Taking a deep breath, Lagos glared with disgust at her regrettably impressive enemy. If she couldn’t get to him, she would use the last of her energy, her strength to annihilate her enemy! FOR THAT WAS LAGOS’ NATURE! Wrapping the leather around her free hand, she would pull on it tightly with extensive force to fling Tsukuyomi towards her before she braced her weapon held over her head and behind her shoulder. There was no salvation here. As Tsukuyomi would logically be pulled her direction, Lagos would swing down when in range.

A slice was aimed, diagonally from his shoulder to his left waist, to finish him, to kill him. She knew that if he were to fall, his Shikai would follow suit. This was the struggle between the Arrancar and the Shinigami. Her first time attacking at her foe with the polearm itself. Without blades, without being able to use techniques due to his own moon’s nature, and without being able to flash himself to safety, he was likely done for. His wound causing blockage in his throat. A blood chilling grin on Lagos’s face as she anticipated his death. Though...whether he had another trick up his sleeve or not, she did not know. She did not care any longer.

She had to return to Las Noches soon enough. The extensive damage was shutting her down. She could feel it. Lagos was not going to die just because she decided for a day of fun. No. Her rampage could continue another day. She had all the time in the world to become greater, stronger, and more worthy. To be a greater threat to the Shinigami. “Grgh.” Her ressureccion was close to its time limit. Assuming she was successful, and the battle was over, she would begin to open a Garganta. It was time to return home to Las Noches.

[Tsukuyomi Kawada]

Tsukuyomi stood easily even as the size of the golden moon grew almost double the size that it had been a moment prior and fifty feet of distance was suddenly between him and his foe. He had been watching as the blue fire of Honshitsu had been pulled down across the stomach of the Arrancar and had been expecting the growth of his moon. That along with the fact that he was very adapt at keeping his balance and being light on his feet mention that staying on them even as the distance grew was nothing special.

Balance and keeping his footing though weren't the biggest problems not by a long shot. There were a few very important issues at the moment that could spell out defeat if he didn't prepare for them before his foe could utilize them against him. The first thing and perhaps most major at the moment was the fact that his collar bone was severely damaged perhaps broken in more than a single spot. He could feel an immense pain just below his throat and actually moving his head anymore than a few centimeters was causing him pain as he tested the boundaries of his movement by moving his head in every manner of direction slowly and then ceasing once he began to feel greater pain.

The second major problem was the simple fact that he no longer was in possession of either of his zanpakutos. Mikoto had been taken from him more than a full minute ago and although he had still be utilizing her abilities thanks to the chain that was wrapped around his right arm utilizing her body was impossible at the moment. He had just surrendered Honshitsu when he hadn't pulled her out of the wound he had inflicted when he had been struck by this Arrancar. Now as he watched she pulled the crude looking wakashi from her stomach and Tsukuyomi could see the charred flesh. She thrust Honshitsu into the golden moon and then starred at Tsukuyomi with determination. She wasn't giving up.

He watched from a distance as this Arrancar stood and grabbed the black leather that bound him to Honshitsu in the very same way that the silver chain connected him to Mikoto. "Is she going to pull on it as she did the chain? Perhaps she has something else in mind. Whatever she's planning I just need another few seconds and this will be all over." Tsukuyomi continued to simple stare not giving away anything emotionally or expressively to the thoughts that were going on through his head as he continued to analyze the situation along with the movements of his foe.

She began to approach him slowly and spoke once again voicing her opinion that he wasn't as weak as the common shinigami that she had faced off against which Tsukuyomi already knew to be true. Although he was very young especially by Shinigami standards he was incredibly powerful. Many in the Kawada although they didn't know him very well took pride in his abilities while he did not. They clung to him and his position as a Vice Captain to bring pride to the family that he didn't believe they deserved. His power wasn't something to be proud of it was something to either accept at face value and grow until it reached it's limitation or simply fear to him there was no other options.

It seemed to this Arrancar though that he was still just trash and she wouldn't allow herself to be beaten by him. However, he could see the damage that she had sustained from Honshitsu and how that damage was now taking effect on her. She wasn't going to be able to continue much longer. Neither would he though if he sustained any further damage to his upper body. His neck was already in critical condition and he couldn't risk doing anything complex. So as she began to wrap her arm around the leather that bound Tsukuyomi to Honshitsu he knew what she was already going to try against him.

She had done the same thing no more than two minutes earlier if even that. While she possessed quite a powerful release it seemed she still had a lot of learning to do until she became a true threat. One such lesson that Tsukuyomi had learned from the countless beatings and defeats at the hands of his former Captain was simply never to execute the same attack in battle in the same manner. An opponent could easily distinguish what was going on and use that against him which was exactly what he was doing right now to this Arrancar. Tsukuyomi would suddenly turn over both his hands so that his palms were facing the Arrancar and then in the next instant as his reiatsu spiked the Arrancar would feel further pain.

She was still holding Mikoto yet with her hand now also grabbing ahold of the leather it was weakened. Mikoto's hilt would be pulled out of her grasp as the silver blade would be drawn to Tsukuyomi by his reiatsu moving at a speed of 2,325 which would bring the crescent sword into his right hand in less than a third of a second at the distance between them. That would more than likely just take the Arrancar off guard though and nothing else as she pulled and Tsukuyomi was brought right to her as he stepped forward in order to keep his balance and prevent himself from actually being pulled, but rather take the fight to her directly. She would suddenly feel a painful sting though right in her back.

She had stabbed Honshitsu into the golden moon and then approached Tsukuyomi putting a few feet between her and the crude looking wakashi. As Tsukuyomi had held out his hands to his zanapkuto he hadn't just called for Mikoto to return to him. Honshitsu had been called as well utilizing one of the Kawada techniques that Tsukuyomi had picked up after learning about his noble heritage. The crude wkashi had stabbed her in her stomach a few moments ago well roughly twenty seconds ago and now as Tsukuyomi rushed towards her closing the distance between them as they both planned to attack it would stab her right in the back causing her further pain and perhaps distracting her or at the very least slowing her down.

It was at that very moment that Tsukuyomi would end this battle without holding anything back. Focusing his reiatsu not only into his feet, but into his right arm as well as he held Mikoto once again the familiar and pleasant feeling of her being in his grasp guided him through the next few moments. He'd execute a step technique that this Arrancar may be familiar with and might actually be unwise to use against her if she were to survive. It didn't matter at the moment though he had to end this before it could go on any longer. For that reason he executed Sin Sonido and would vanish and reappear in a way that this Arrancar was unable to perceive. A technique that would make no noise like a normal step technique one of mystery.

Just as he would appear in front of her silently his right arm would strike downwards from her left shoulder to her right hip as the crescent hook of Mikoto was dragged across her chest slashing into it yet causing the most sever damage to her shoulder as the hook of the blade wrapped around it as it was pulled downwards. Tsukuyomi didn't give her any time to counter though as a silver light of reiatsu flashed off his right hand with the execution of Bringer Flash. Enabling him to execute the slash at five times his maximum speed making it move at the speed that his zanapkutos had both moved when they had been called to him a blindingly fast 2,325.

Tsukuyomi would keep an eye on his foe as Mikoto was moving off of her body after cutting through her iron like skin and blood began to spray out of the wound. He knew she had been in position to attack him as well, but if his attacks were successful she more than likely wouldn't succeed herself yet it wasn't out of the question. Regardless he would watch her either fall back or back away and hope that she would either die here and now or flee. He wasn't one to kill unless it was absolutely needed, but keeping her alive wasn't something he was striving to succeed at so how would this battle play out in the next few moments that was something only time would reveal to the young Kawada.
