[✱Paiva "Amalia" Vollbrecht✱]

As Amalia's eiku neared Luke a mysterious figure sliced into her heels. The swift attacked caused her to lose her balance and fall from the sky, plummeting into the shallow waters below. Her blood pooled around her, coloring the already murky water. Suddenly Amalia's reiatsu exploded from below the water. Her spiritual pressure poured into the air, especially around Luke and Aevus. It was as though her gaze had persisted even from beneath the water. Her energy caused the water to circulate and boil before it exploded into the air like a massive pillar. The water was blasted from around her and she was then visible. Her reiatsu was raging as she glared at Luke and the man nearby.

Amalia's raging spiritual pressure pulled on Luke. He and Aevus would feel her malevolent aura blanket the area as her eyes bore through them. However, her spiritual pressure weighed heavier on Luke. It would feel as though it was attempting to strangle him or extinguish the flame that is his soul. Her energy carried with it a most odious and hateful sensation, which was now gripping Luke tightly. She knew this was no coincidence. Shinigami don't simply jump in to save Bount. "He was the one that gave you that wretched sword, wasn't he?" She said loathingly. Her gaze intensified as she examined Aevus before settling on Luke. "I'm going to make you suffer tenfold now, bount!" As she said this her gravitational pressure assaulted Luke. It would feel like he was being stampeded as it weighed down on his entire body.

She touched her heels with her hand, blood staining her skin and shoes. She managed to get to her feet as six black spheres formed around her body. It appeared she was wounded for the first time during this battle. Luke's power was unable to breach her Blut, but she carelessly deactivated it. She should have assumed he would have some protector. Shinigami! Those loathsome people are always interfering. She snarled as she wobbled precariously. He had wounded her enough to significantly impact her movement, but she was not entirely immobilized. I couldn't even sense that fucking Shinigami. I was careless and should have anticipated this little bount would have protect of this caliber. She thought. Her blut enveloped her body as she was thinking just before three of her spheres launched in their direction.

One flattered as she stepped on it and it floated into the sky. She stepped onto a nearby building as the three spheres floated beside her. They rocketed into buildings and were unable to be seen by neither Luke nor Aevus. They moved quickly enough that they were able to weave in and out of buildings. Unfortunately, behind the cover of the buildings neither could determine what they were doing. These spheres were special and could do amazing things with their bodies. All three abruptly spawned tendril-like appendages. Luke and Aevus were in a precarious place as they were surrounded by buildings of various height. The tendrils crept along the inside of the wall of a shorter building before the sphere spun around, slicing through the walls of the building. Two smaller buildings began to collapse as people screamed into the city.

Amalia smiled villainously at Aevus. "All those people need saving and you're here protecting a Bount. Glad to see your priorities are in order." As the building toppled and created smoke from debris, the spheres ascended quickly. They would approach them just as five arrows were approaching from the front. Two of the spheres launched the tendrils at Aevus likes spears flying through the sky. Approximately tendrils were aimed at him and would not be thwarted easily, especially with Amalia's reiatsu strength bolstering their defensive ability. They tendrils converged on him from all sides as the third sphere unraveled into a blanket and and wrapped around Luke's body. It ensnared his arms, torso, legs, and neck. The sphere then punctured his entire body with needles from every side. The quickly stabbed outward, piercing his flesh.

The needles would be piercing every part of his body wrapped by the black cloth. Individual strips of cloth began rotating around his body like rotating gears, but maintained its hold. The spinning combined with the sharp protrusions would actively slice him into pieces like a knife a dicing a vegetable. The other two sphere's tendrils would latch onto Aevus, ensnaring his arms, legs, torso, thighs, neck, wrists, and blade. Even if they did escape they hand the five class four arrows heading in their direction. She pointed her body to the side and fired two more arrows, which struck distant buildings, causing them to explode. She grabbed her Eiku as her head fell onto her shoulder as she delivered a menacing gaze. "I'm going to leave this city in ruins." 

It was clear from her tone that she had no intent on sparing the lives of those around them. Her anger was palpable at the beginning, but was quickly subsumed by pure malice. She wasn't allowing them to injure her in the way Aevus did without severe consequences. She planned on harming them, but knew any soul reaper would be beside himself at the thought of innocents dying. After all, it was their duty to preserve the safety of the living and serve as a guide to lost souls. Amalia was absolutely content killing innocents to get what she wanted. Luke was likely to feel guilt over the deaths of innocents an Aevus pangs of duty and self-sacrifice.

If he was truly of Shinigami breeding than he couldn't simply stand by while Amalia decimated the city around her. It could have severe consequences. "Are you here to slap sanctions on me?" She said, her heels still throbbing. She was used to dealing with pain and this was nothing compared to what she has felt before. "Unbelievable hypocrites, you Shinigami. You'll kill tons of souls in the Rukongai to preserve your precious balance, but burn with indignant outrage at the slightest disturbance in places like this." She laughed lightly while hiding her discomfort. "I just wish you'd come closer so we can hug and settles things calmly. ...And so I can bash your head in with my eiku." She delivered an eerie and unnerving grin.

So much happened in the span of just a few minutes that Luke felt like he was going to collapse. Springflut, in an act of self sacrifice, turned himself into a tidal wave to try and destroy the murderous Quincy right then and there. But despite the destruction to a small portion of the city that his attack caused, in the end it did nothing. Luke had watched with shock and horror as that blanket of destruction washed through the streets. The building that Amalia had been on was destroyed outright, while a few others became mixed into the destruction. There was no way that someone didn't die in all that. Someone who was probably just sleeping and suddenly was crushed or drowned. Luke hadn't had the faintest clue that Springflut was going to do that. It had happened so suddenly that..."Luke she's still alive!" Luke suddenly heard Jäger shout.

Amalia did indeed survive Springfluts attack. Though her outer appearance had been ruined, there wasn't a single injury on her. Why was that? How could she be scratchless after being hit and crushed by a ten hundred thousand ton tidal wave? It was like one of those scenes in a horror movie where the monster gets caught in the heroes death trap, only to rise up again because the trap was fucking retarded and didn't actually do shit at all. He simply stared at Amalia as she gloated and taunted him. What was he supposed to do? At the moment he couldn't move. He could feel the pain in his everything settling down, but as Amalia spoke he still wasn't perfect enough to move. Was this it? Would Jäger be able to do anything at all to her? Luke was weaponless and down one Doll now.

But then he felt it. Only briefly. Just...for the faintest of a moment. A presence he recognized. Maybe it was because of his experience with the man, or his Anti-Stealth, but for just a moment Luke felt him. The black aura spilled all over them, his eyes widening as he could barely comprehend what just happened. Amalia was there, about to bash Luke's head in, when she suddenly began plummeting downwards and vanished into the waters blow. Luke felt like he could fucking cry when he saw who saved him. Amidst all this fighting and chaos he'd forgotten the very damn reason he was out tonight. He didn't come out here looking to get into a fight, he was meeting someone he called a friend. "Aevus.." Luke murmured as he looked at the Shinigami's back.But joy didn't spill from his words. It was, instead, pain and regret.

What was Aevus thinking, Luke wondered. He knew Aevus, and Lumina, would know where this water came from. The destruction to the city below may have been because of Amalia, but it was still Luke's Doll that had done it. The Bount began to push himself to his feet, only for Amalia's spiritual pressure to suddenly explode from the water below them. He couldn't breath. He grabbed at his throat, staring down at the woman who had lighten up like a Fourth of July celebration. He was now experiencing the full weight of her power and the depths of her evil. Springflut's attack hadn't managed to create this much rage in her. But, a combination of being nearly drowned and now actually injured must have pushed her over. Once again she was screaming at Luke, who frowned as he focused on his breathing.

Amalia then created those three black orbs, Luke taking immediate notice to them with both his eyes and Energy Sensory. Just what were they? Each one was like massive clumps of reiatsu. Luke didn't have a good feeling about them. While she may have hidden them behind buildings Luke could still feel them with his mind. They suddenly shifted, and Luke turned to look at one building suddenly beginning to become destroyed. What the hell was she doing!? "W--what the hell are you doing!?" Luke shouted at her. Was she going to turn her temper tantrum towards everything around her now? Luke felt all three of them move. They were going upwards, trying to use the smoke from the toppled buildings as cover. "They're going upwards." Aevus would suddenly hear from his left shoulder, since Luke failed to say anything.

Arrows coming at them from the front, and tendrils going at Aevus while a massive blanket was thrown at Luke, the Bount did the only thing he could. "Go down stupid!" Jäger shouted, which Luke was already doing. Considering the speed of that third sphere, and the arrows, Luke was only able to do one thing to actually dodge them. Kaioken! He used Pulley. The Bount light up with a red, crackling, aura as he kicked downward off of Airground. Pulley would increase his base speed to 300, and then using Movement to propel himself down towards the ground away from the third sphere and everything else would put his speed at 900. Just enough to dodge the attack. But it put more strain on his body.

Readjusting himself after leaving Movement, Luke turned his gaze upwards as he kept moving to look at what Aevus was doing. I have to help him. I can't let him fight that god damn cunt all by himself! Luke thought to himself. "And what do you think you're going to do? You're weaponless, Springflut is down, and you're literally running on fumes and falling apart, jackass." Jäger snapped back as Luke's feet landed in the water. No. No not this time. I know what you're going to suggest. You're going to tell me to do the same thing you wanted to do to Impossible! We're not doing that. I'm not going to run away from this. Not this fucking time! Luke shouted mentally, grinding his jaws together.

Jäger, silent for a moment, realized he wouldn't be able to convince Luke to abandon Aevus. If his dumbass Master was going to fight, then he'd need to get back into shape. Alright then, stupid. You see that? Jäger asked, suddenly Luke getting the mental image of an alleyway. Turning his head to the left he saw it. Use those things. You know the two. Jäger suddenly suggested. Luke blinked, confused for a moment before he realized what the Doll meant. That?? But...what? Will that even work? But what about- Luke began questioning. "Look limpdick it's either you do that or you die. You're worried about Aevus, well look at it like this then. You're a two. I'm a four. That bitch is a ten and Aevus is a god damn twenty. You want to jump yourself up from a two? Use the damn thing!" Jäger shouted, doing his best to get the point across. Luke, frowning, accepted what Jäger said was correct.

Fine...but you'd better fucking help him. Or I'll kill your ass myself. Luke growled, rushing into the dark alleyway and placing his hand against the shadow covered wall. "Only if she doesn't kill us both first. Geh. Why do all the hot ones want to kill you?" Focusing, Luke activated the technique known as Schatten. Luke was unaware that the technique was a Bount staple, having learned how to do it from trying to imitate Jäger's coming and goings in shadows. The Bount sunk into the darkness, vanishing from sight entirely. Entering the shadow realm was not his only task though. What Jäger was getting at earlier was for Luke to take ten using something the Bount had picked up on. Over the weeks Luke had been beginning to be able to get by with less and less sleep. In fact, taking a 30 minute nap for him was essentially getting a full 8 hours of sleep. This was because of another Bount ability, Schlafen.

Luke, in the darkness, fell into a deep slumber. If he could just close his eyes for a few moments...then he'd be right as rain and able to help. Hopefully Jäger and Aevus would be able to do something. Falling asleep, Jäger failed to tell Luke something. He was going to have to maintain Luke being inside the shadow and not being ejected because he was asleep. This meant Jäger wasn't going to be able to eject his Hunter Form, because if he did the sleeping Luke would pop out of the shadows. Back up with Aevus, who had become infected with a Jäger shadow just as Amalia did when that veil of darkness covered them all when he released, the Shinigami would suddenly hear a "I'm back." Whispered from his left shoulder.

"Keep your cool. It's me, your brother, Jäger. Our bitch of an acquaintance is taking a beauty nap for a few minutes to get his cummies back. You're on your own until then. I can't do much right now since I'm keeping my fingers on him." Jäger explained in his own autistic way.

[Jyuria "Elisa" Arroj]

It was a mess, but she saw more or less everything. Those eyes of hers able to take most of it in. The sudden shinigami she noticed, even as he cloaked himself, she didn't have much of a reiatsu sense to begin with, but her ability to pick out those at hiding did give her a glimmer, if he had stayed to the shadows she wouldn't have seen anything, but him launching in to attack Amalia, breaking his stealth caught her attention. Interesting. She had been intent on just watching, seeing how things went. But it became clear that this was not going to work.

When Luke vanished into the shadows, even as Amalia's weapons would seek to lunge out and destroy Luke and Aevus, Jyuria shook her head, sighing to herself as suddenly, she erupted, Gate activating as her spiritual power suddenly surged, her own skill dampening the effect. The biggest benefit was that Amalia's reiatsu was so ridiculously powerful. It would be like trying to hear a tambourine with one's head next to a set of 40 inch subwoofers. Being so ridiculsouly close to Amalia, it would be ridiculous for Aevus or Luke to be able to notice her own burst of power. At least not whilst simultaneously evading her attacks. This required concentration after all, Amalia was not so easily ignored.

With Gate active, Jyuria formed a simple bow, her body flushing out energy as she focused, and then fired a black arrow empowered by her release. A pure Four-winged Seraph that blossomed it's wings outward. And just as that black bird was fired, Jyuria vanished, her reiatsu no longer able to be sensed as she was sealed inside of the arrow, who it itself was stealthed. It would streak towards the battle, swinging left and right to maintain it's hiding, that arrow so incredibly hard to see. And once Luke vanished into the shadows, it was just Jager and Aevus. And unlike Luke, Jager had no anti-stealth. A bit of luck for Jyuria.

That arrow, powered up by Gate, would slice in like a nightmare, and aim to plow into Aevus from behind. With Amalia's spheres and arrows constantly harrassing him, with luke gone, and with no powers of anti stealth himself, that arrow would almost certainly fly true, plowing and burning a holw clean through Aevus's chest as it aimed to punch just below his sternum, away from bones and the like. After all, Jyuria did not know if he was a shinigami built on strength or spirit. So as a safety guess, she went through the area with the least ammount of bone in her way, plowing just next to his spine, clean through his lower belly and bursting back out, seeking to perforate the male, not only injuring him, but disrupting him whilst amalia's attacks still dogged him. That arrow would slice into being just next t Amalia before Jyuria burst from it's shadow.

That black arrow reforming into her bow before she fired it back towards Aevus, this time aiming to slam straight into his throat. She knew that they probably wouldn't have a lot of time to do much. Especially since the Bount had gone and vanished. That little fuckface could pop up at any moment and attack them from any angle, that little bitchbutt. But she wasn't going to panic, she just needed to make sure that she got all of this right. She had a plan, she just needed to be careful about how she executed it.

"You. On my Back. Now." She stated calmly, not ordering, but still insisting to Amalia as she stepped infront of the woman. "I'm going to need you to fill me up, then keep the channel open. I'm gonna borrow your energy reserves." She stated softly, and once Amalia had hopped onto her back, and with Reiatsu Revocery, pumped her with enough reiatsu to fill back up, Jyuria would immediately empty out. Her reiatsu would shudder and burst outward as she unleashed volstanding.

The air shrieked as six wings formed behind her, spreading out through her cape as five halos formed. Around her neck, wrists, and ankles as that bright light would flash before dying out, her holy form becoming solid as it remained tightly clung to her form. Normally she would never execute such an ability in the Human world, taking in reiatsu was just too damn hard here. But that was just because of a lack of Reiatsu. With Amalia at her back, she had access to reiatsu despite having dumped all of her own.

Those wings spread wider, as Jyuria pulled more reiatsu from Amalia, intent on dragging energy from the woman as Four black angels emerged from her cloak, Four more stealthed arrows bleeding into existence, vanishing from Aevus's sight just as quickly as they entered, before taking flight and rapidly spinning around Jyuria and Amalia. Jut before one of them would swallow both Amalia and Jyuria entirely, sealing the both of them into the shadow of the arrow, hidden among the others as they streaked forward, rushing Aevus in a swarm, so that even if Jager managed to sense them, he wouldn’t be able to pick them out. Once they were within just a few feet, Jyuria and Amalia would both explode from the shadow, just as those arrows would aim to tear into Aevus. Jyuria herself, however, did not attack at this point

She had to take a moment, get her bearings, and see how her assault went for the time being. If this all worked correctly, she would have shown enough of a burst of force that she might be able to get the Shinigami and Bount to fuck off, a victory for them certainly, even if Amalia might not think so. even if they ran, her arrows could try to run them down and slaughter them. IF not? She was hopefully in a good enough spot that she could just take them out. But she had done a lot in a small amount of time, and so she would simply give Aevus a cold stare in the face.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Dia-Aufnahme}
Technique Name: Dia-Aufnahme (Slide-Shot)

Class: 5

Technique Type: Quincy Tech

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Quincy

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): This technique is made utilizing The vandereich shadow tech in conjunction with a quincy's bow. The technique begins by the quincy charging an arrow, feeding a high ammount of reiatsu as they form a seal within the arrow itself, the seal of his majesty. After firing the arrow, the quincy vanishes, and is sealed into the arrow's shadow. After the arow is fired, the quincy can activate the seal, emerging from the arrow's shadow and reloading the arrow into their bow before firing again. This technique also modifies the nature of the arrow, by modifying the arrow the Quincy can have the arrow mimic their stealth skill up to 1 point.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): See above

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) This technique itself costs nothing, but adds a Cost of up to 100 reiatsu, plus the base cost of firing, to the arrow itself for full effect. And while the user cannot be seen during their time in the arrow's shadow, if the arrow is destroyed prematurely, they are immediately ejected and briefly disoriented, keeping them from immediately attacking (though they are still capable of defending if immediately attacked). The stealth aspect of the arrow comes at an extra cost of 50 reiatsu, bringing the total cost to 150+ the Arrow's firing cost.

Reserved?: No

Total tax from Amalia: 1300 reiatsu

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

Destruction, complete and utter destruction. Those cold blues widened at the sight of those building being ran through. The panicking screams of humans laid echoes in his ears. The Quincy taunted him out of spite, or was it something else? Yet Aevus didn’t care for the reason. He’d grip at his Zanpakuto ever so tightly. His eyes began to bleed those infamous colors of a hollow. A stretch of black began to take those narrowed irises. [smear:#ffd700]Like tearing the wings off a butterfly~[/smear:ffe34d] A silver tongue flicked against his ear.

[smear:#ffd700]Run her through with that cold blade, she can’t escape you now. Easy Prey~[/smear:ffe34d] The Vixen lulled teasingly. She was so close, he could feel her Reiatsu crawling over him. Golden eyes rang hollow. Her heart beat in unison with his own. Those preyful taunts of Amalia’s forced a narrowed, tired and burning gaze. Her actions justified what he was about to do to her. Heh, and he was going to tear that bitches throat out. Lumina snarled viscously, resounding in an echo within that Quincy’s mind.

Amalia would feel it. The pressure of that Mark of Fate. It wove the Shinigami and his Zanpakuto Spirit as an intimidating presence. One that Amalia could not ignore even if she wanted too. It’d be irrational but it’d paint the Reaper as something to fear. Her gravitational pressure was strong in its own right. But not enough to force Aevus to his knees. Power surged from the now lame Quincy. Even in her crippled state, she was still a threat. Her mighty attacks sought forth to tear into the Shinigami.

He had underestimated Quincy before on two occasions. It left him hanging at the end of life’s very thread. But something had changed in him. No longer did he stand as the third seat of squad 2. He was now the Lieutenant of the Onmitsukido. Taking advantage of an ally in peril wasn’t beneath him. Even with Amalia’s energy sensory, facing Aevus would be like fighting against a shadow. Her attacks were strong and swift but he was ready for her. He could dance circles around them if he really had too.

His fingers stirred, tapping the handle of his Zanpakuto. The black ribbon from his Zanpakuto fluttered ever so wildly in the wind. A pale Reiatsu emanated off the blade like it was smoke to a fire. "You should have stayed down. Groveling in the dirt, Quincy." He nearly growled. His voice would echo within Amalia’s mind. Even with his growing frustration and anger, he knew the Quincy had a point. After all, He was protecting the life of a Bount, over the lives of countless humans.

But Aevus knew, there will always be some that you cannot save... It’s simply and utterly impossible to save everyone. Even so, he’d tremble at the sight before him. A weight of helplessness loomed over the Reaper as he witnessed that destruction. No one else would die tonight... If he killed her, that would be the end of it. But even so, he wasn’t looking forward to confronting Luke after all this was over. Regardless... It was going to be a long and grueling night.

"They're going upwards."

A shadow whispered into his ear. As Amalia attacks converged he saw Luke barely escape. He himself moved without thinking. All of those arrows and tendrils ran through him at that moment. That included Jyuria's stealthed arrow that impaled him from behind. It would have appeared as if Aevus had been struck. To Amalia and Jyuria it would seem as if they had actually managed to kill the Shinigami. But no, Aevus had used a peculiar step; Shinkirou to create an afterimage to create that illusion.

"I'm back. Keep your cool. It's me, your brother, Jäger. Our bitch of an acquaintance is taking a beauty nap for a few minutes to get his cummies back. You're on your own until then. I can't do much right now since I'm keeping my fingers on him "

As Aevus returned back to his previous location, the Reaper would move swiftly having activated Shunkassou to outrun Amalia’s spheres at a speed of 1,500. Hearing that whispering voice in his ear once more. Aevus would internally sigh. The voice had to be coming from one one of Luke’s dolls. It’s presence and abilities were unknown to him but at least it wasn’t a threat to him. Well not at the moment... But of course it had to be annoying. Heh, no matter. He’d just sacrifice the thing, if it came down to it.

His cold blues would narrowly return to both Amalia and the new contestant only to have another arrow fired at him. He would sheath his Zanpakuto with a soft sigh. Five phantoms of his Zanpakuto were woven into reality in an instant. Erupting from invisible threads of pale blue Reiatsu that surrounded his person. The blades snarled as they twirled and spun defensively around his person at six hundred speed. Jyuria’s arrow would be thwarted, narrowly missing the Shinigami’s throat; bouncing off one of his spinning blades.

It was then, that he witnessed the new Quincy’s transformation. His fingers stirred to his sheathed Zanpakuto as he watched the Quincy’s change. Volstanding here? how desperate... It was a rather mystical and powerful transformation nonetheless. She appeared as a seraph before him amidst the shadow of his territory. Sadly, he’d be tearing through those six wings of that false angel by the end of the night. Pity, she was a rather beautiful sight in that form. Even so, he’d enjoy watching that angel fall from the heavens.

The widening of those blues turned cold as four black angels emerged from her very cloak. He would witness the disappearance of those two Quincy as those angels whizzed and danced towards him. And he was more than ready for her attack... They may have had some form of stealth but Aevus saw them as they were released from the Quincy’s bow, so they were not hidden from him... No instead Jyuria had made a grave mistake. She was carrying Amalia who had been marked.

No longer was she hidden among the pack of those four angels. Her attack was for naught. The phantoms of his Zanpakuto twirled defensively around him and as she released from those shadows, he was ready for her. A blade, woven from an echo of fate erupted behind the two, silently from a pale of invisible reiatsu within his territory. The flare was hidden by the very same technique he had used to hide his step technique against Amalia. It flashed forward at six thousand speed. Aiming to run directly through one of Jyuria’s wings marking her in the process.

But that was not the end of it... Hiding his flare once more Aevus would disappear and follow that echo of fate. For good measure the Reaper would teleport immediately. His five blades twirled to carve away and mark those remaining wings and drop that angel from the very sky. But neither was that the end. Even before he teleported, his hand was already unsheathing his blade. From behind, at 1800 speed, his Zanpakuto flashed from it's scabbard. It sung from its prison with enough cutting power (2500) to rend through and mark both the Quincy at once.

Shit.

Nothings gone right.

This destruction...

All those people..

Is it my fault? Is it hers?

Can Aevus hold his own against her?

What's he thinking right now?

I should be fighting...

I need to go fight..

"And what will you do? You'll just be getting in his way."

I-

"See? You can't deny it. Tell me Luke...do you know why you've never been able to win a fight without relying on the power of someone else? Why you haven't been able to win one single fight without relying on the power of your Dolls?"

"It's because you're reactive."

What? The hell does that even mean?

"You wanted answers about your mother so you came to Karakura. When your abilities began to appear and life became threatened, you trained with Aevus. When that Quincy attacked you, you relied on Impossible to protect you. When you found out what you really were, you turned to Taka to shelter you. Tell me Luke...what's going to happen when a threat comes along and nobody is there to save you?

Sigh, the point is...there's a difference between someone who can find the strength inside themselves and someone who needs to be protected like a baby. And that, Luke, is instinct."

[✱Paiva "Amalia" Vollbrecht✱]

Atop Jyuria's back, Amalia watched as her foes outmaneuvered her spheres. They were far more suitable for close-range combat, failing to do much at such great distances. They remained formidable weapons and possessed the offensive and defensive power of her reiatsu strength. They could be just as deadly under these circumstances if given the opportunity. She wasn't about to waste their talents on Luke. It appeared he was busy fleeing from battle, likely to lick his wounds and regroup. She grinned to herself as his presence became distorted. "Using that doll of yours, eh?" She said. "The bount has yet to bring out his doll, but I surmise its abilities involve the shadows." 

Amalia grimaced as her eyes locked with Aevus. Those cold eyes that would melt when locked with the fire possessed in her own stare. "You should have stayed down. Groveling in the dirt, Quincy." Amalia's eyes narrowed as she heard his voice echo in her mind. "Filthy fucking Shinigami" She muttered to herself. "You dare invade the mind of a divine messenger such as myself? Such unforgivable impertinence. I will be sure to make you and all the residents of Karaura Town suffer." Her voice began to raise as her anger rose. "Their blood will be on your hands!" She screamed with fury. Suddenly eight rings appeared, two in front of each of the spheres beside her and one that Luke escaped. The spheres passed through three rings each, increasing their individual speed to 1,250. 

Amalia clutched Jyuria tightly as her reiatsu was being drained by her ally, but she has gargantuan reserves. Giving Jyuria that much reiatsu and spending her own was a simple task and fortunately the techniques were easily shrugged off considering how proficient she is as managing the pain of low-class techniques. Her expression darkened as she activated gate, preparing to destroy everything around her. "I will level this fucking city!" She growled angrily as a grin stretched into her cheeks. Her anger was palpable, but was gone as soon as it arrived. This was common for Amalia during battle, especially when confronted with a foe as powerful and cunning as Aevus. Her rage will surface, but quickly subside as her malevolent mind schemes to create suffering and tragedy.

The thrill of killing was far more enticing than remaining angry at his actions. She knew all Shinigami shared one central weakness: their pride. Their pride was delicately veiled by their duties as a Soul Reaper, which was not only maintaining the balance of this world, but protecting innocents. They weren't simply there to help lost souls transition, but to protect the living and the dead from the misdeeds of forces such as hollows. Unfortunately, in cases such as these, when their opponent was a Quincy, they had to summon that same conviction. Unlike others, Amalia was unconcerned with the residents of Karakura Town. She was more than willing to sacrifice thousands to disgrace Aevus' name and title. There was nothing more dishonorable than having thousands of innocents blood on your hands, as you were unable to prevent their deaths.

"How humiliating." She said as gate activated and massive amounts of energy poured through her body. The spheres closest to Aevus zoomed toward her, but she was also protected by the ones beside her, which could react quickly in her defense. Aevus vanished and for an instant, she could not sense him. But there he was, just as she expected. You think you're the first to ever try and take me down from behind? She thought. Unfortunately, something she could not sense had sliced through Jyuria's wings, but her sphere quickly flattened and acted as a surface below them. Nothing Aevus possessed could pierce her spheres, especially not with gate active. She was now in possession of 4000 reiatsu strength, which made her nearly invulnerable. 

"So predictable." She uttered to herself as he appeared behind her, swinging his blade quicker than she ever imagined he could. The blade struck her back, but was instantly blocked by her blut vene, which she had kept active. The sphere that attacked Luke arrived by their side at a speed of 1250, just in time to cushion them. It flattened and shaped around Jyuria and Amalia, preventing them from moving more than two feet from the force of Aevus' attack. It was a powerful attack indeed and despite incurring no damage, she felt the immense impact behind it. She was fortunate to have had her spheres. The moment his attack landed she quickly turned and clutched his blade. "You can use this to cross great distances, huh?" As she spoke those words she was filling his Zanpakuto with energy. The attack was unavoidable once her body was able to touch his blade. He had neither the spiritual pressure nor the reiatsu strength to resist the attack that was coming for him. 

Unfortunately for Aevus, with zero energy sensory he was no where near where he needed to be to sense Vernichtung. It would be an invisible and undetectable process for him, especially as he was likely overwhelmed by her massive surge in spiritual powers, which flooded the area like a monsoon. She deactivated gate suddenly as her spheres swarmed around her and Jyuria, created a dome of protection. Her spheres were acting simultaneously with her touching his blade and speaking, allowing all this to happen quickly and seamlessly. Suddenly a sapphire color flame erupted from her palm, which was was still gripping his blade. She let go and a roaring flame burst forward and covered his body as the spheres melded together to create an impenetrable dome of protection. The sphere suddenly catapulted itself backwards. Not even his blades could reach her as the spheres were melting over them like liquid as preventing from reach. Not even his attack could pierce her sphere, which possessed the might of her reiatsu strength.

Amalia had successfully imbued his blade with Vernichtung and while doing so summoned the same flame she used on Luke's doll,Verschlingen. A flame so vibrant and so powerful that no force could match its power. No force could extinguish it. She had spend so much reiatsu was was now reeling in pain inside the sphere, but was successfully protected. The massive dome protecting them was moving quickly away from Aevus who was now covered in the blue flames, which erupted from her palm, covering his blade, hand, torso, and face. The swathe of flames were dangerous in multiple ways. They would quickly spread across anyone or anything composed of spiritual energy, causing extreme fatigue and draining them of their energy. The fatigue from the flames and  his own technique usage will likely immobilize him, allowing for Jyuria and her spheres to launch an attack. 

It didn't end there, however. The moment Amalia touched his blade her technique activated and that counted as one second. The flames burst forward in that instant as the sphere enveloped her. It only required two more seconds for his zanpakuto to explode, completely shattering his Shikai. With his blade and hilt in pieces, his own body would be gravely injured with an explosion equal to 2000 reiatsu strength. With a radius of 10 feet, it would envelop his body. The speed of the process likely did not allow him time to dispose of his blade, which would completely sever his hand from his arm and cause wide-spread burns to his body. It was char his skin and turn the pieces of his blade into shrapnel, piercing his skin and leave him gravely wounded. 

Inside the sphere, Amalia is panting and holding her chest tightly. "I need a moment to rest. I used to much power. You'll need to rely on your own for now, I can't afford to give you anyone. The pain," she panted, "is too much at the moment. We will be safe in here, however. He can't extinguish those flames unless he makes another huge sacrifice, and he already lost his precious Zanpakuto. But we also need to worry about the bount. His absence means something troubling. He is using a technique called Schlafen...I just know he is." She was beginning to catch her breath, but the pain surged through her body like lighting. "If he is, indeed, using the technique I suspect, he will come back fully recuperated. Even though he is weak, he will have the advantage and will be able to re-summon that damn doll I destroyed." Amalia was becoming concerned with her odds, having not expected to be visited by a Shinigami while fighting the Bount. She was not afraid of Luke, but was fearful of the outcome if he was using the technique she assumed he was using. His absence was far too suspicious. "He'll be back anytime now if he is using that technique. It doesn't take very long to work, and that soul reaper was being used as a distraction."

{Beschleuigen (Accelerate)}
The user collects reishi and forces current to move clockwise, creating a ring(s). The rings have a circumference of 45inches (slightly larger than a hula hoop). The repetitive rotation of the reishi lets off an emission toward the center of the ring. Objects that pass through the center of the ring will collect the energy emission and gain a 25% boost in speed. Once an object has passed through the ring it dissipates, as the energy it was storing was converted to speed and transferred into the passing object. The user can create multiple rings, but each will cost 100 reiatsu. A single object can pass through a maximum of three rings. The second and third use is compounded. So, if the base speed 800, the first ring increases it by 25% to 1000. By passing through a second ring it will increase it to 1250 and so on. If the technique or projectile weapon is continuous and remains active during the thread, the effect remains active until the object is destroyed or deactivated. As a result, this is a short-term stat modifier. The rings can be summoned at a radius of 50 feet.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Vernichtung (Annihilation)}
By channeling reishi into objects, the user can transform said objects into a powerful explosive, relative to the user's reiatsu strength. The spiritual particles placed into the objects are purposely made unstable by accelerating their movement and position within a given space , creating a unsuitable environment for the spirit particles, which results in the discharge of energy. When an object is bestowed the spiritual particles, it will emit a soft blue glow before becoming enveloped by the light and detonating after an interval of three seconds. The user does not have to physically touch the objects, but merely concentrate energy into it. The user can only convert objects within 60 feet of the user. The explosion has a raidus of 10 feet.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): By spending 300 reiatsu for every object, the user can collect reishi from the environment and channel it into said objects, converting them into explosives.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc): The use of this technique can have a devastating impacting during battle, but can only be utilized a total of 15 times during a thread. Additionally, all spiritual beings' reiryoku give off an emission, which envelops their body. This natural emission makes it impossible to render the opponent, their clothing, and any weapons (Zanpakuto and equivalent) they might possess as explosives. The only exception to this rule is if the user has 5x the reiatsu advantage and touches the objects in question. They can then detonate clothing and weapons, foregoing the drawback.

{Verschlingen (Devour)}
A supremely powerful flame that is practically eternal, and another gift from his Majesty. This technique allows the user to draw in reishi and purify it by cleansing it of impurities. By doing so, the user can create an immaculate spirit particle that he or she can condense tightly. This results in blue fire that can burn any form of spiritual particles or energy. It can burn and destroy things that were once believed to be non-flammable, such as the rocks and sand of Hueco Mundo.

The technique can fire as a projectile, but can take on different forms depending on the user. One user might choose to fire it as a stream of fire from their finger while another by throw a fireball or create a swathe of fire. Regardless of form or quality, whatever spiritual particle or energy comes in contact with the flame will be set ablaze and used as a source of fuel for the fire itself. Those with bodies composed of spiritual particles/energy (e.g. Shinigami, Arrancar, etc) are highly susceptible to the blue fire. It will attach to a spiritual being and ignite anything of spiritual origins. It will steadily burn away clothes, armor, skin, techniques (such as kido, including barriers), and the spiritual body itself. Once the flames touch an opponent, they will find themselves fatigued for it is burning not only their body, but their energy. These flames are impossible to extinguish unless the opponent pays the same amount as the user forfeited for the technique. If an opponent does not have the total amount of reiatsu to spend, they can pay 90% of their existing reiatsu.

If the flames miss an opponent, they will continue to burn and spread, unless the objects are of human origins and exist in the human-world. In the soul society and hueco mundo, the flames will have a rich source of fuel and burn eternally, until the thread ends or extinguished by an opponent. The flame's merciless destruction of spiritual energy can leave an enemy fatigued simply from close proximity.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): The base cost for use is 800, but the user can choose to forfeit additional reiatsu in order to increase the cost effect inflicted on the opponent. The user can spend up to an additional 1200 reiatsu, which will require the opponent to spend the total reiatsu forfeited in order to extinguish the flames.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc): Does not affect other Quincy, Fullbringers, or other humans bodies. A user with 50% reiatsu advantage can extinguish the flames immediately without any cost, though they will still incur damage from initial contact.

[Jyuria "Elisa" Arroj]

The shinigami had wonderful instincts. That she would give him that. he was crafty and had many weapons at his disposal. Were he a quincy, she would have marveled at how far he could have come in the organization. At how perfectly cruel and cutthroat he could be. But the fact of the matter was that he was an enemy, and even as he raised those echoes and prepared to defend himself, those blades whirling to defend himself from her onslaught of black arrows, she had to admit. He had spunk.

But it wasn't enough. When those echoes moved to defend against those black angels, he made a mistake. What he should have done was prepare a clone to take the hit like before, because when those echoes moved to intercept, those angels bit into them, and sliced through them with absolute and total ease. The phantom blades were restricted to Aevus's offensive strength, so they would have cut into them easily, and even IF they had been like spiritual steel, with her vollstanding-empowered arrows, she was more than powerful enough to slice through them like butter, and the very next instant, thank s to the fact that Aevus had been expecting to deflect the arrows. They did cartwheel, spinning out of sight, as if his ability HAD succeeded.

He might not even know that the arrows were still active. But they all spun in separate directions, and since he likely would be focusing on the arrow with Jyuria and Amalia inside, the other three arrows would about-face, and then plow clean through Aevus's torso before any of Amalia's attacks could even begint o rush toward him, mere moments after they had been 'deflected'. Two of the arrows would plow clean through his chest, the third would aim to slice through his wrist with those wings, aiming to sever his hand at the wrist. However, one of the ones going into his chest, would not go all the way through. Instead it embedded itself inside of his chest cavity, sinking it's wings into his flesh in order to anchor itself in place.

The normal arrows from before, those that had been successfully deflected, still circled around, used as scouts thrigh their ability to project their findings to Jyuria. But even they wouldn't see the blade forming behind her. But it was unnecessary. When that blade slashed down on one of her razor-like wings, it simply shattered, breaking to pieces despite the speed at which it was able to attack. And assuming that Aevus still managed to power through and teleport behind her, even if his attack was stealthed, her arrows spotted him.

She spun in place, suddenly twisting around, using Hirenkyaku as that blade slashed out, aiming to slam into her and amalia and mark them both. But instead, Jyuria dodged the strike completely, a sheepish smile on her face, a look on it that apologized to Aevus, even in the middle of a fight. His broken echoes would do nothing to her wings, and with Hirenkyaku constant augmenting her speed (2800 speed), she easily avoided that powerful slash to her and Amalia, sweeping to the side as her insane instincts allowed her to move in, sidestepping past that slash, moving in close and personal to Aevus before all six of her wings would lunge forward with her new speed, aiming to stab him through his shoulders, pectorals, and through his hips at the joints.

She hated this, but she couldn't resist. "I guess you're about to be....Disarmed!" she noted with a suden grin because deep down....she was a nice girl. She was happy, and she joked around. even though the shinigami was about to die... it...didn't sit right with her that the last thing he saw had to be some serious face. Some grim-looking Quincy about to end him. She wanted.....at the very least, for him to see something happy before...whatever happened. Activating her blut for good measure, she yanked her wings back and apart, aiming to cleave his arms and legs from his body, ripping the middle set of wings sideways, HOPEFULLY dealing a devastating amount of damage to the Shinigami. She was faster than him, stronger than him, and she had better reflexes than him. There was no reason he would be able to evade her, and with her arrows circling around the battlefield, if he teleported than she would prepare a hirenkyaku to immediately follow him. Hopefully he didn't have some infinite range on his abilities. Because in that case she really wouldnt be able to follow him.

But if it was just a normal step technique, her instinct was more than enough to follow him. And of course, there was Amalia's own contribution to the fight to be considered. If he was going to try and evade all of her attacks, it would require a tremendous amount of concentration, more than, she hoped, Aevus would have to dodge both her AND Amalia's numerous attacks.

All in all, she was glad that Hirenkyaku was a reishi movement, her brow still a little moist as she laughed a little, backing off and letting out a soft little OOF as she blinked rapidly, resetting herself with her arrows watching over her. "holy shit you are scary." she breathed at Aevus, as with the exception of being hit by Amalia's attacks, he would feasibly still be able to hear her. "Damn this is fucking insane. Yo Amalia, calm down. We should get out of here. All this racket is gonna bring in reinforcements. And I;d rather not have to call in backup. I'm still just a Private you know." she murmured with a bit of a frown.

Of course, Aevus and Jager would not know the fact that Jyuria was an ex-ritter. But what they would understand was that despite her tremendous strength and power. she was only a Private. Which to be fair, some of her fellow soldat were close, but even so. needless to say, it was SAFE to assume Amalia probably would not take well to the suggestion. "Look, we already have done a lot. We should beat it while the going is good. If that Sasuke-looking dude was stronger we'd be fucked up." She would point out.

Of course, all the while she spoke, she would be very gently squeezing Amalia's rear. as they were in a piggyback position. And very gently, Jyuria would smile and say softly. "Honk honk~"

Instinct? Luke asked, confused as to what the voice was referring to. It called Luke reactive. It called Luke weak. It said that everything that happened in Luke's life was responded to by turning to someone else. That Luke was not proactive in his life. Just what did it mean? While Luke couldn't say the voice was wrong, he couldn't quite say it was right either. Luke wanted to open his eyes. He wanted to see what it was talking to him. But why couldn't he? Why was he stuck in the dark? "Yeah, instinct. Do you understand what I mean, Luke?" the voice suddenly asked, filling Luke's head with that judging voice.

"Instinct is the thing that differentiates you from the Quincy and Aevus. In order for people to get stronger they must develop a killer's instinct. They must develop an insatiable hunger to engage in battle, Luke. They have to obliterate and slaughter their enemies!" The voice continued to explain. For a second, Luke imagined the source of the voice smiling. He wasn't sure how he knew but he just did. "This thirst for power and the chance to test it aren't unnatural desires, bud. Anything with power possesses it. Aevus, the Quincy, and even Taka for example. In fact, Luke...out of all of them...it's you who possesses these desires more than any of them. You've simply suppressed them, no thanks to Taka's meddling." The voice explained, earning a surprised reaction from Luke. Taka? What did she have to do with this?

"What do you think it was that compelled Aevus to give you Mūnran'nā? Why was it he decided, despite it going against the Shinigami norms, to train you in secret? The answers really simple, Luke. He saw the same desires inside you that he himself possesses. He saw the potential you possess. He saw that within your body lies the honed instinct to mercilessly crush, shred, and slice your enemies to pieces. Luke, more than any of them, you possess these natural instincts. Because you're a Bount. Within you flows the blood of a warrior race so powerful that they struck fear into the Shinigami and the Quincy."

"But Luke...as you are right now...you're little more than a wolf without fangs. You try to use your brain to win a fight. You try to defeat your enemies with reason, logic, and understanding. You fight like a Human...and not like a Bount! You don't tap into those pure, base, instincts that exist within your Bount blood just waiting to be unleashed! And the simple matter, Luke, is that it doesn't work! It makes you weak!" The voice yelled, earned himself another surprised gasp from Luke. "Retaining your humanity is what separates a man from an animal. But in this cruel world the only way to emerge victorious is to know when to throw aside your humanity. But you, Luke, desperately hold onto that human heart of yours even while you're torn apart by your enemies. It makes you weak."

"I don't know about Springflut or Jäger, but I refuse to lend my power someone so much weaker than me. Someone whose uncertainty and hesitation in battle is going to end up getting us killed! Tch. I've gotten myself worked up..." the voice complained, going quite for a few minutes. "You're angry? Heh. That's good. Anger is a good starting point. Luke. You must learn to let go of the fear that Taka put into you. You can't be afraid of embracing the power your mother left you with. Otherwise you'll always be a burden, something to be protected...and yet not worth anything."

"..."

"Seems like things are getting interesting out there. It's about time you wake up. I'll be watching you, Luke. I'll be watching...to see if you rise to my expectations or fall."

Up until now...I've just let things happen, haven't I? I've just lied down and let life take its dumps on me. I've been off guard...unprepared. I think I get it. Maybe if I'd just jumped in headfirst, fully prepared, then I wouldn't be in this situation. Instinct, huh? Why not? Why not just...let it go. Luke realized it was time just about for him to wake up.

While Jäger was preoccupied with keeping Luke submerged, it didn't mean he wasn't paying attention to what was going on. What he saw Amalia doing, well, it was worth lying a little bit. Jäger removed himself from Luke, causing the Bount to begin to slip out of the shadows. Throwing himself to Aevus, the Shinigami would suddenly hear "That's that thing! That's that thing that did Springflut in! Your swords gonna blow up!" before having to throw himself back to the now corporeal Luke. Shit. Why'd he go and do that? Though the Bount was still masked by the shadows of the alleyway, and his reiatsu suppressed because he was beauty napping, Jäger still wasn't satisfied. Materializing into his Hunter Form, Jäger grabbed Luke's collar and began dragging him further into the alley. Spotting a door, the Doll quickly smashed the thing open and tossed the Bount into the whatever the fuck the building was before sinking back into the shadows.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

That bladed echo of fate managed to pierce through the six winged Angel like was cutting into water. Passing forth through it’s entirety before being unwoven. Yet he was unable to mark the woman from his attack. He had clearly underestimated her strength. No matter, she’d be cut down all the same. Aevus’s cold blue eyes narrowed on but prey as he appeared behind the two. His Zanpakuto fully unsheathed, sung and snarled it’s way out of it’s very scabbard as he swung the blade at 1800 speed.

Yet his blade cut not the flesh of his enemy. Instead the sharp edge of his weapon resounded, hitting Amalia’s very skin like it were armor. He managed to cut through her clothing, but his blade stopped short. Regardless he had managed to mark her once again. Jyuria on the other hand had dodged his attack with unmatchable speed. His eyes would widen as the one he had attacked turned to face him. She gripped at his Zanpakuto and seemingly taunted him. The raw energy that emanated from her being drove into the Reaper with such ferocity, that he was simply stunned.

Just what was he facing? Lumina seemed to snarl in the face of that Quincy. Just from his previous actions, he had already wasted so much energy. They wern’t supposed to be here tonight. Why did they have to be an actual threat? Why couldn’t they just die already... Aevus nearly bit his lip as a flame sprouted up his blade and began to consume his entire body. He screamed out. His five floating Zanpakuto shook as he reeled in pain. This wasn’t good... Lumina shouted out for him to move, that he had to do something. And than that voice came back.

"That's that thing! That's that thing that did Springflut in! Your swords gonna blow up!"

The Doll’s voice echoed within the fleeting Shinigami’s ears. That is when he saw Amalia flee from him. Escaping and harboring herself inside of a sphere. He could feel himself burning but not only that... He was losing his energy. It was agony and it was overwhelming. In a desperate attempt to save himself, One of his blades shot out in a random direction. He managed to send it soaring at 6000 speed directly into an office building overlooking the city. As it shot through broken glass, his burning body disappeared before Jyuria could run him through, with her remaining wings.

He had managed to teleport himself to safety. But that was not all. His Zanpakuto had not come with him. No... instead that blade had been teleported to a separate location. It’d appear suddenly, that glowing Zanpakuto would appear behind Amalia inside that sphere. She probably had thought she was safe... She might have even thought she had won. But she’d soon find out, that Aevus wasn’t gonna die that easily. No, not when lives were on the line. He refused to give in.

The following explosion would envelope the Quincy from inside that sphere. And having had activated gate... it would consume her body with a blast equal to 4000 rs. She’d have no escape and she would most likely be in to much pain to realize what had just happened. Regardless of her fate, she had wounded the Reaper. His burnt body sprawled against the cold ground, hand buried against glass. His Reiatsu was nearly drained as he put out the remaining flames that had nearly consumed him.

His remaining four Zanpakuto faded as he managed to rise to his feet. He could barely stand and the pain was all to consuming. Aevus... He was breathing deeply as his back slid against the side of one of the many cubicles lining that room. Reaching out with his hand he would grasp the remains of his Zanpakuto. A cracked handle with a broken blade appeared like magic within his very hand. It was broken... But it could be repaired in time. But he didn’t have that. He now only had two options. Two of which he was not ready to make. A pained sigh left his lips. Regardless he was going to have to finish this. But he couldn’t do it alone.

Let me help Aevus...

[Caesar]

From the moment it began to the moment that the most recent blow occurred Caesar had watched from afar. His brown cloak fluttered with the winds as he watched Amalia and Jyuria tackle their quarry. While most people had gotten away from the destruction the moment it had happened there were a few that stayed. From their perspective Caesar was just an old man with a strange respiratory mask in the middle of other crowded individuals pointing towards the epicenter of destruction. He was sure to suppress as much of his reiatsu and his energy to the point where no one would have been able to know he was a Vandenreich General let alone the power that he held. The air whooshed around him as he closed his eyes and bowed his head as he prepared to pray to his God. To His Holiness. "We turn our heads to You. Our Glory as we continue to spread Your name. Give the strength to Fight. To spread Your Glory. As I will bring your Words to the Masses. Amen." with that he would make is way to the black sphere, moments before the explosion steadily buy surely he would get there.

Fall. That is how the world would seem to her as the explosion would have done some considerable damage. As she fell the damage this damage shined brighter than normal, damaged buildings, tossed and overturned vehicles and shattered windows littered what remained of down town Karakura. As she fell before he body would slam into the concrete and what little remained of the bounts water attack she would suddenly be caught by a platform of reiatsu. While not as comfortable as landing on something softer this would have helped break what remained of her fall. Had the others been looking the doll and the shinigami would simply see a platform of reiatsu catch the falling woman and if they looked further a simple individual wearing a dark brown cloak. Its hood covering the mans head. "Child of Der Kaiser. Child of Our God. Dear Child." Amalia would hear whisper to her ears as the platform lowered the rest of the way down. With what consciousness she may have she would immediately who was the one that had saved her. "As Angels performing the orders of Our God. You have done what you must and done what you could. Our Lord smiles upon your duty. You will get stronger. You will improve. As all will fall into His plans. Amen."

{Play Me}

With that a simple motion and Caesar lifted the woman from the ground. "And like a faithful Shepherd to the Flock of Our Lord. I will ensure you make it the rest of the herd safely." With that he carried her out to the open his footsteps tapping against the walls and splashing in the puddles as his cloak softly fluttered to the world around him what little light illuminated would give away their position to Aevus and Luke's doll for sure. However the General had confidence in his plan and how he planned to execute it. His head turned down and looked at the Captain Supervisor. "Have faith in what our Lord plans for us all. Now Breath." Suddenly she would feel it, everyone would feel the pressure suddenly explode. This was not the power of gravity pressure but something much more mundane yet powerful. Caesar threw away the cloak that shrouded his power and let the world known that this was an individual that not one of them could face. That not one of them could even dream of fighting. He opened his mouth as he was sure this pressure would reach those near and far. "On the same Day. Power came from Der Kaiser's Fingers. It gave strength to the five warriors and made them Kings. Under Der Kaiser's Will they became his messengers, his messenger of war, messenger of death, messengers of His Word. Amen. "

Moments after silence. Caesar was not yet finished making sure that they knew who he was and the power that he held. The pressure that they felt before would seem like nothing compared to what he had now. "Breath. For the worst part for you is over. My Child." Caesar softly cooed after that a second wave of pressure washed over those around the General. What little survivors, the shinigami, the bount, and the quincies. A feeling that would make the idea of fear seem like a simple word. Cog was a wonderful technique to use on those that one wanted to make an example of. If the fear had not overcome them and if they had not fleed. The words of Der Kaiser would come next. “Die Ära der Anfänge. Chapter two. Verse four. 'You are the sow, and I thy Master. I am the Beginning and the Never ending. Come to me, those who are weak and weary, and I will purge thee of thy impurities. 5 May the Light of the Sky guide you as I in turn guide it. Go forth and spread my Word, my Song.' Amen.” he bowed his head.

"Do you understand what that means? To any and all that hears my words. Do you understand what is planned for this World. And for the likes of you. For we are His Shepherds and You are His Lambs. Return home. And be blessed in eternal Happiness. And we will all be welcomed in Forever Eternity."

[OOC] Im not sure if y'all want me to keep track of reiatsu and post stats and stuff since for the most part it was meant to be cinematic.

[✱Paiva "Amalia" Vollbrecht✱]

Defended within her black sphere, Amalia panted as she wiped sweat from her brow. "I've exhausted far too much reiatsu." She said, caressing her skin as the pain gripped her body. Suddenly a soft light began to flicker from behind. The sphere was immediately illuminated as she turned her head only to come face-to-face with Aevus' zanpakuto. Her eyes widened as she realized he had teleported it to her side using his release. She grinded her teeth and angrily spoke, "Fucking Shinigami." Viewed from the outside, the sphere would bubble and surface misshapen as her own power was turned against her. The explosion shredded her particle impact, causing it to break out in pieces like burnt pieces of paper. 

No longer supported by her technique, and barely conscious, she began plummeting toward the ground. Having imbued her own technique with double her RS, it left her own blut vene incapable of defending her. If she had not used his majesty's holy flame, she would have been more capable of using gate and protecting herself. Her badly burnt body descended quickly, her limbs flickering as the wind pushed against her body. She had absolutely no control of her body and could not prevent herself from colliding with the ground. This would surely break many bones and leave her in worse condition, if not unconscious.

To her surprise, her limp body landed on a bed of reishi. It wasn't the softest landing, but it was a more appealing alternative than the concrete below. She slowly lifted her head, catching a glimpse of Caesar, Sternritter C. This was not only a rarity, but an honor to have been visited let alone saved by him. If she had not been overwhelmed by pain and humiliation, she would have smiled in joy at his presence. "I..." She began to mutter as she attempted to adjust her body. "I...beg your forgiveness." Despite the amalgam of emotions coursing through her body, she could not muster the energy to express them. To think she would have been done in with her own power. Truthfully, it was humiliating for both she and Aevus. She was defeated, but he couldn't accomplish this with his own power, he needed to rely on hers. 

It proved in her mind, despite her misery of having Caesar witness her loss that only her own power could best the body she was bestowed by his majesty. She gazed up at Caesar as he spoke softly to her, assuring her of her safety. His voice was warm and comforting, despite its aged quality. "I can't begin to express my regret, lord Caesar. I failed you. I failed his majesty." She said sorrowfully. "Have faith in what our Lord plans for us all. Now Breath." He responded as his power began pouring into the atmosphere. It was overwhelming, but familiar. It was rare, but she had felt his power before. He resonated with strength so powerful that neither of her foes could fathom bridging the gap. Nothing they possessed could hope to match this power. She began to breathe deeply as he held her in his arms. 

Much like the Emperor, he was a strong, parental figure. His presence meant comfort and safety, under the right circumstances. Despite this, he was not to be trifled with. She knew this, and respected it. As he released his spiritual energy, both Luke and Aevus would likely feel the full force of the Vandenreich General's power. Her eyes connected glanced around for Jyuria. "Kneel..." She spoke softly, but angrily. This was not to her enemies, but to Jyuria. In matters of authority Amalia demanded all respect not only her, but certainly those above her. Soon her eyes connected with a distant Aevus, his cold, blue eyes filling her body with rage. He extinguished her Verschlingen. This was unthinkable. "Unacceptable. Filthy trash." She whispered under her breath, failing to muster the energy to growl as boldly as she'd prefer. 

"The next time we meet..." She said with a pause so to catch her breath, "...I will ensure those divine flames consume the very flesh from your bones you filthy half-breed." She said with an insidious gaze. She had sensed his detestable hollow reiatsu creeping out in this moment and is now aware of his secret. Despite her physical pain and fatigue, she attempted a faint grin. Her eyes then turned to Luke. "And you...bount." She paused to take a breath. "So much pain awaits you." 

[Jyuria "Elisa" Arroj]

Jyuria was a little alarmed when that blade cut through her wings, her own misundrstanding of the form was...irritating. She gritted her teeth and frowned when once again that shinigami vanished from her, and Amalia charged off, which honestly she did not feel very angry for. The woman had given up a lot to help her and it was only reasonable that the woman be a little...peckish after what had gone on. Probably in no mood to keep donating reiatsu to Jyuria. But at the very least... Amalia could not deny that the tactic had performed wonderfully.

Jyuria had been able to completely outclass the shinigami in a way she would have normally never been able to do so. But as it were, this cinderella story was over. She was a little exhausted and the fight escalated as she noticed that sudden blast inside of Amalia's sphere. It wasn't until she spotted the figure below that she perked up. She had met a great many men in her time, men who had proven to be incredibly influential not just in their power, but in their personality.

Of course, as Caesar rescued the falling Ritter, Jyuria herself was a little perplexed by the sudden animosity of Amalia. And she almost chuckled softly in response to that demand. She saluted, pounding her fist to her chest as she bowed her head to Caesar. She didn't understand Amalia's train of thought. But at least so long as Jyuria had known the man, which was a helluva lot longer than Amalia had, she had never once been asked to Kneel to him. The only man that Caesar ever demanded be knelt to was his Majesty himself. To kneel was to worship, and Caesar was a man far too humble for such demands.

"General Caesar. It is a genuine pleasure to see you here." She murmured softly. As she completely ignored Amalia. This was not about her. Or respect. If she knew that Caesar would ask it she would have prostrated herself. Because the very last time that Caesar had seen Jyuria, had not been as a quincy. He had seen her at her lowest. And in a way, him having to witness a Ritter in such a corrupted form, she had probably seen him at one of his lowest points. In terms of the man's faith.

Caesar knew exactly what the hollows that Jyuria employed were. He knew exactly why it is that she kept them. The air in the world of the living was thin, too thin to spawn arrows, but not too thin to repair her wings, dragging in that low ammount of ambient reishi and repairing those long bladed things, dropping down to where Caesar was and glancing around, as honestly, none of the enemies wherw were she herself could see them. Luke was still in his sleep among the shadows. And Aevus had teleported off in some random direction, she assumed toward his blade, but she could not be sure.

She lamented Amalia's overferocity. And it showed on her face as she watched the woman shouting her threats. In truth? Jyuria thought it made her seem weak. To command and boast and threaten so willfully. But she was just a soldat. She kept her mouth shut, and simply stood at attention before caesar. Once again Sir. I am sorry that you have to see me like this. The enemy was much stronger than I expected." She spoke to the General, her head still bowed in respect as she awaited his orders.

The battle was over. With his power, there was nothing that either the shinigami or the bount could do to them. And as it were, she was ready for this to end. Amalia was injured, and .....she did not want to risk the woman dying. She would never vocalize it, but she still did not know if his Majesty had returned. And she did not know, that if even then, she would be promised a place in paradise. She certainly had not been. And Caesar knew all too well about her uncertainties.

[Deleted]

It was that presence that finally woke him up. While his conversation with the entity had give him more than enough time to complete the original intention of using that technique, it had not been of his own accord that he awoke. While the purpose of the technique had been accomplished, Luke reacquiring all of the reiatsu he had lost until he had fallen asleep, it had been the tremendous pressure he suddenly felt that had awakened him. Those eyelids hurriedly opened, being greeted by the sight of the underside of a darkened staircase, as confusion and anxiety clutched the Bount. He felt restored, but none of that mattered when faced with what he was feeling now. What was going on? Had the situation become so much worse than minutes ago?

Had something happened to Aevus? Had the Quincy suddenly unleashed her true power? Had Aevus released his full power? Luke had no idea. Quickly clambering to his feet he was confused for a moment why he was inside a building, but didn't focus on the why as he charged out the door Jäger had busted in to toss the sleeping Bount inside. Exiting out into the alleyway he had initially hid in, the Bount headed to the exit of the alleyway in the direction of all the energy signatures. Similar to how he had experienced Amalia's pressure, it wasn't until seeing him did the Bount fully grasp just what had joined the chaotic party. A force of power so great it made the red headed woman's seem like imitation crab meat in comparison to king crab legs.

He was struck with fear. Cog was having its affect over Luke. Despite the determination he had earlier to rejoin the fight, all that he had acquired had been forcefully stripped away. Was that man another Quincy? Even Jäger had retreated. Luke realized the Doll, in response to Caesar's prescence, had actually retreated as far as the link between him and Luke allowed. Like a cockroach exposed to light the Doll fled as far as he could to get away from the Quincy. Luke couldn't blame him. If Luke felt he could, he'd be running as well. It didn't really matter how Strong Luke's Will was, or the determination he had, Cog was just something that could not be powered through. Especially not when cast by someone like this.

Whoever this man was it was obvious he commanded the respect of the two women. Their leader? Luke wasn't sure. Some Master and Apprentices sort of thing? Luke didn't know. He knew nothing about the, though he didn't know the name of it, Vandenreichs rankings or set up. But he could at least recognize the relationship between the Quincies, considering the two women were bowing to the old man. The red haired Amalia looked damaged. Incredibly so. She was covered in burns. It felt weird seeing her in such a state, after how his attempts at fighting against her had gone. Just what did Aevus do to her? Just where was Aevus? Despite the fear that Caesar put into him, it was when he noticed Amalia grinning at him that he finally received the shivers. Despite the distance between them, he could hear the Quincies threat.

((Next part is just me assuming ya'll have left))

With the threat of the Quincy now gone, and Cog's effect having been lifted, Luke finally felt himself breathing again. Jäger was still gone. Luke could feel the Dolls presence, but it was strained. Soon enough the Doll would return to Luke's inner world, unsummoned because of the limit on the distance a Doll could travel from its Bount. But Luke was looking for something more important. Where was Aevus? He needed to make sure Aevus was still alive. The debris mixed water was up to his ankles, now beginning to flow away as it spread into the sewers and obeyed the normal laws of gravity for water. Just how many blocks were caught up in this fight? Just how many people had gotten hurt? The Bount stood there, stunned, as he simply just...looked around.

He knew that, in a way, he was responsible for all of this. All of this destruction had been caused by him fighting the Quincy. Even if she hadn't given him a choice, if Luke had just been stronger...suddenly he felt him. His Energy Sensory picked up on the Shinigami. If what Luke was reading was accurate, Aevus was somewhere in a still standing building. The Bount, worried, began to push himself forward to get to his friend when he suddenly felt the presences. He blinked, more than a couple dozen of energy readings suddenly appearing. Looking up, Luke witnessed as doorways of light began opening in the air high above the city. Moving backwards, Luke hurriedly moved himself back into the shadows of the buildings and night. Were more Quincy showing up?

No. From those lights he saw a great number of black robed men and women appearing. Shinigami! A battle like this would have never gone unnoticed by the Seireitei. The massive damage to a portion of the city, and a good number of people suddenly dying, had caught the other worlds attention. The Shinigami appearing now was the response force. Hidden, Luke watched as a pair of them, with someone wearing a satchel around himself, headed towards the building Aevus was in. Luke didn't realize it, but the Shinigami had picked up on Aevus as well and were going to collect him with a Squad Four soldier in tow. Luke would never be able to get to him with the number of Shinigami now in the area. Grinding his jaws together, Luke slipped into the shadows and vanished.
