Camila could only grit her teeth as she watched her Bakudo be so effortlessly dodged, despite the fact that it had been faster than even she could really see. Just what kind of a monster was she dealing with here? Was there even a chance of her being pinned down anymore? She didn't know, and likely wouldn't be able to for some time. What she needed though, was a plan. Surely there had to be a way to pummel the Espada into the ground. Releasing her grip on the lance in hand, she let it drip to the ground in a pool of blood, much like she watched the Arrancar's own embedded lance.

First things first, she needed to get another one of her lances onto Ailene. She'd need to aim for a spot that it couldn't be easily removed from, as to prevent the Arrancar from being able to remove it, much like she had just done. Perhaps riddling her back with lances would be a sound choice? Only time would tell. For the time being, though, she focused her reiatsu to create four lances, each one holding its position by her side, even as she moved. If nothing else, it'd add an intimidation factor for her.

She had heard the Arrancar say something, but hadn't given her the respect to actually listen. If it was a jab toward her, that would only distract her. As such, she decided not to focus on it, and let her own thoughts drown out what she had tried to say; she was far enough back to where she couldn't accurately hear it, after all. Instead, she focused on the beast before her, and her eyes opened the very moment she saw Ailene draw her own blood. She immediately looked around her for a suitable hiding place.

She'd known an Arrancar technique that had required a blood tribute; the other Espada she had fought against seemed to really enjoy using it every fucking second he could. She gritted her teeth, and took the opportunity to Shunpo about 20 feet in front of Ailene as she began to open her mouth. Perhaps hitting it before she could fire the technique could cause the technique to blow up in her face, like that of an old Nintendo game? It was certainly worth a try, considering the opportunity had presented itself nicely.

While the Arrancar's mouth had been wide open, Camila wasted absolutely no time in launching all four lances, hopefully into the back of the beast's throat. Even if it wasn't successful enough to deal any lasting damage to Ailene, hopefully it would serve as the distraction she desired. Any collateral damage was only a bonus for her. That being said, though, a maneuver like this was absolutely not without its risks. She would be making herself incredibly vulnerable with an attack like this; if it did nothing to stop the Bala, she'd likely be taking a massive hit. Not only that, but there was little to say that Ailene wouldn't be able to close the gap between them if need be.

[Ailene Haschiro]

As Ailene utilized her own blood to supercharge her next Bala, Camila seemed to immediate run for cover. It was clear to Ailene that the Shinigami had a basic understanding of the abilities that an Espada had at their disposal. Among these, Bala Obscuras was a deadly technique that much like the Gran Ray Cero, required a blood sacrifice from the Espada. Ailene winced a little visibly at her own injury, but powered through it to prepare the Bala.

It was then that the unthinkable happened. Camila had used a Shunpo to get within close distance of the beast. It seemed to be about 20 feet. Ailene could not help, but wonder why. It was then that she saw the lances careen towards her as she opened her mouth to fire the attack. The Espada was very confident in her abilities, allowing her focus on Camila to strengthen her resolve and fire the Bala. What happened next would occur within the blink of an eye. 

As the lances rocketed near her mouth, aiming to converge deep in her throat, the jet-black bala had rocketed forth. As soon as the lances touched the burning reiatsu of the bala, they disintegrated almost immediately. Continuing on, the bala would proceed to rocket with great force towars Camila. In truth, closing the distance and leaving herself open would make it near impossible for her to dodge the bala itself. If it connected, she would definitely feel its effects right away.

The Bala Obscuras was a technique that made the regular bala a truly lethal technique. Increasing in both speed and power significantly, this unique bala could easily rip off limps. Additionally, most would feel the burning reiatsu splash across their body almost as though they were being struck by napalm. Ailene would watch eagerly as the Bala rocketed towards Camila, threatening to hit and spray across her, burning her. 

No matter whether the case, Ailene would take advantage of the Sonido she would have used the close the much greater distance earlier. Once again, without much of a trace, Ailene disappeared. Perhaps it was just the closed distance or maybe Ailene had gotten much faster in a heartbeat as the Espada would be upon the Shinigami almost instantaneously, the Sin Sonido carrying her at a speed of 3000. Between the two of them, it was the fastest that either of them had gone in this fight.

Not only would Ailene attempted to slash Camila across the back, leaving a dark and infectious looking gash upon her body if it connected, her talons glowing a dark and ominous purple, she woudl also use her increased size to her advantage. Assuming she hit her mark with the talons, Ailene would quickly press her entire claw against the Shinigami's back and begin pushing her down, looking to careen with her, rocketing towards the ground. 

One thing was certain. If this little strategy succeeded, Camila would find herself potentially pinned by her back given that Ailene had a decently higher strength than that of her peer. It was enough for her size to make a difference as she would use this opportunity to pin the Shinigami down. Her body would be pressed against the warm concrete as the sun was actually shining brightly above this fearsome fight.

Assuming that Camila just laid there if Ailene's pin was successful, the Shinigami would begin to feel the fog slowly surround her. If she looked closely, she could tell that it was emanating from Ailene's body directly. Assuming that Camila was now infected with the vile bacterium, she would feel a strange feeling of illness fill her. It would be the calm before the storm as something just felt terribly wrong. Her body would begin to try and adjust to the feeling, but it may leave her with a constant feeling of dread.

{Sin Sonido}Technique Name: Sin Sonido

Class: 4

Technique Type: Hollow/Arrancar

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:
Sin Sonido is the next stage of Sonido evolution, which was developed by Marcelius after countless examination of spirtual particles resisting the flow of spiritual beings through Hueco Mundo's dense atmosphere. Using the principles of Reiatsu-infused movements, introduced by Sonido, this technique uses a larger supply of Reiatsu to enhance every aspect of it's predecessor. Not only does the Reiatsu used allow for faster travel, but it also reduces all drag and impedance of spiritual particle resistance. Where Sonido filled the muscles with energy needed to heighten the user's speed, Sin Sonido additionally coats the user in Reiatsu. With this internal and external building of Reiatsu, the user will figuratively meld with the world around them as they burst with sudden speed. The density of the surrounding particles is of no consequence, as this technique was designed for Hueco Mundo's tremendously dense environment. The same density that forced Arrancar to improve Sonido's design over the Shinigami Shunpo has further enhanced this technique to a higher quality. In atmospheres with less density in spiritual particles, the task is all the simpler to accomplish and control.

The result is a reduced spiritual resistances means less of a footprint. It is possible for masters of Sin Sonido to travel so suddenly and so flawlessly, that they simply materialize at their intended destination. Even wild animals cannot interpret such a flawless transition. After all, this is a Predator's tool. Sin Sonido has also prove more difficult to react against, this is a forced psychological effect due to the techniques bizarre, traceless nature. Truly, this is a most fearsome technique... but is only recommended for practitioners of considerable skill. Once a soul can learn to use it with maturity, a Sonido without sound can prove a most deadly addition to an arsenal.

Sin Sonido increases the user's speed by x10. Observers with Senses beneath 400 cannot hear the beginning or completion of this technique. Observers with Senses of 400 or greater can detect the signature Sonido noise. Observers with Instincts beneath 200 cannot track the movement or arrival of this technique, though they may still prepare counters. Observers with Instincts of 200 and above are unaffected.

How to use technique: Using Sin Sonido is exactly the same as using Sonido.

Technique Drawbacks

The user of this technique must have Sonido mastered. Sin Sonido moves slower than typical Sonido, to avoid unnecessary noise Sin Sonido also costs more Reiatsu than typical Sonido to accommodate the atmospheric blending.

Cost: 150 Reiatsu

{Toxic Shock}Technique Name: Toxic Shock

Technique Description and Effects: Toxic Shock Syndrome is traditionally an immune response that the body executes when it detects toxins to the body. Ailene twists this concept and uses it to violently proliferate the victims disease state. This technique causes Ailene's talons to become infused with reiatsu as they glow a similar color to the color of Ailene's fur. This lasts for 2 posts and if Ailene were to strike a target with the talons, it would leave a nasty laceration on the targets' body. This initiates the first response of the Toxic Shock Syndrome. Due to this, the victim becomes immune to the effects of Yersinia for a post. Once this immunity has faded, however, the current stacks that the victim of Toxic Shock has accumulated instantly double. If the victim is not infected with Yersinia and is hit by Toxic Shock, the inherent weakening of the immune response will make it so the target immediately gets infected without need of an incubation period. Toxic Shock requires Ailene to expend 100 reiatsu.

Technique Drawbacks: Toxic Shock while a powerful way of increasing the amount of stacks that the target is suffering from does come with several drawbacks. The toxin that Ailene laces the wound with can be delayed with Poison Resist. Beginning at Poison Resist 2, each point in Poison Resist delays the proliferation by a post. If the victim has a Poison Resist of 2, it was 2 posts for it to double. A 3 requires 3 posts for it to double. Additionally, the poison is immediately neutralized by having a 2x OS Superiority to Ailene.

The very moment she saw her little plan fail, a look of nothing but sheer dread could be seen in Camila's face. She had no decision but to take the hit head-on; she was nowhere near quick enough to be able to even react to the damn thing, let alone get out of the way. That being said, the moment the bala had made contact with her body, she'd effectively become that of a Californian wildfire. Searing burns had been caused all over her body, sending her into a state of panic and shock. Having shifted back a few feet due to the sheer force of taking one of taking a bala at full-force, Camila struggled to will herself to move.

It was then that gravity took its course. As she began her descent, after so much as a blink she saw Ailene disappear without a sound or a trace. Not even a second later, she'd feel her back be effectively torn apart as she was thrown toward the ground at speeds incomparable to that of even her Shunpo. Ailene was upon her almost instantly. She had no idea how to deal with the fact, nor what to do in retaliation. She seemed to feel like her life was flashing before her eyes, as she made contact with the pavement.

Upon being slammed into the ground, Camila tried to catch her breath underneath the claw of the Espada that seemed to so effortlessly overpower her. The amount of pain that had befallen her was immense and overwhelming to say the least. It was hard to move for her. Even then, she knew that she needed to act, lest she'd end up dead shortly. She'd be fucked if she couldn't find some sort of way to get Ailene off of her. Her mind raced and panicked as she tried to think of what to do while also dealing with the effects of Ailene's attacks that wracked her body.

At that moment, whatever Ailene had afflicted her with seemed to hit like a truck. She began to feel herself start to overheat, and a constant feeling like she was going to throw up. Just what exactly had the girl put into her body that was causing this madness; what was this Espada truly capable of? Surely there was no way that this was everything, and that thought only let the fear of what was to come sink further into Camila's mind. She'd need some sort of all-in attack in order to even hope to come back from this.

Doing what she could to force her reiatsu around her in a time of crisis such as this, Camila created a total of ten lances surrounding her, and immediately launched them at point-blank at the underbelly of Ailene. While these lances were being created, she twisted her arm in a way that would've likely caused her great pain from being pinned down, and held her palm outstretched to face the beast. From there, she mentally began to speak a familiar incantation; the exact same one she had used earlier in the fight. Walls of ironsand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end.

Her goal was some sort of pincer attack on the girl, either forcing her to take both hits, and get out of the way of at least one of them. She was confident that at least one of them was likely going to hit, especially considering the distance between her and the lances. Should she manage to dodge even those though, those lances of hers could've easily obliterated the binding technique she aimed to trap Ailene with, so she was far from worried about being bound herself. All of her hope in coming out in a semi-suitable position for her was riding on these two attacks; only time would tell the outcome.

[Ailene Haschiro]

Having now pinned down her quarry, Ailene felt like she was in utter control of this fight. Camila had taken a Bala Obscuras as a direct hit which certainly must have harmed her a considerable amount. Enough so that she would feel the effects for a while. While she had her like this, Camila was truly at Ailene's mercy. After all, what could she do as the Espada was threatening to rend her flesh. Even if Ailene could have potentially ended it here, she wished to test her prey. Devouring the powerful as she crushed their hope made the morsel that much tastier. Atleast to Ailene it felt that way. 

As Ailene's claw still rested on Camila's back, Ailene would take this time to attempt to rake her talons across the Shinigami's backside. It would be a slow and agonizing cut that Camila may have difficulty avoiding considering she was pinned down. This would also create an odd sensation for the Shinigami. As if Ailene's claws made contact, the effect was very gradual. Despite the nasty wound that would form on her backside, the reddening of her skin and feeling of tenderness typically indicative of infection, Camila would feel her symptoms slowly waver. 

As Ailene took the time to attempt to torture her prey, the Arrancar noticed the lances of blood that she had noted Camila as being rather known for creating. It had already been clear that the Arrancars' iron skin outmatched Camila by a long shot. Yet Ailene would notice as Camila twisted her hand in a very painful way. It almost seemed as if she needed to partially dislocate her shoulder to allow it to point to the underside of the Arrancar. 

The Espada would just assume that this was part of her sending her lances into her. In fact, as the lances launched at Ailene, she let go of the Shinigami, intended to block as best as she could using her arms. Once again, the lances would sink into her Hierro, pinning against it. Some would hit her arm while others would hit her underbelly. In a quick motion, the Espada dragged her arm along the floor, dislodging the lances and clawing at her underside to remove the lances that were pinning into her Hierro. 

It seemed that this would end up causing a bit of irritation for Ailene was her hyperfixation on Camila and the lances did not allow her to register the similar movement that Camila had performed with her former Bakudo. In fact, Ailene presumed that the arm was to launch the lances. It was in that moment that Ailene let out a shriek. It was unlike other shrieks. It was one of struggle as the pillars descended upon the Arrancar. It was truly impressive as the Ailene's was still finding the strength for mere moments to stand albeit with her knees bent. 

The black pillars of the Bakudo were large and sturdy. While most others would have taken a significant physical blow, Ailene felt no true crushing pain from the pillars, but it was clear that she was finding difficulty standing as she was exerting herself a little to try and overpower the pillars themselves. It was to no avail, however, as the Espada would actually be forced to touch the ground with her belly after unleashing a horrifying shriek of desperation. 

As Ailene was pinned down, she growled and frantically clawed at the ground. It seemed that this was making her lose her cool just the slightest amount. After a few moments of this desperation, Ailene tried to analyze the situation to the best of abilities. She could break the pillars. It would just any number of techniques, but even in these few moments she would be vulnerable. In fact, Ailene began to close her maw and concentrate carefully.

Camila would most likely need to recover so Ailene wasn't too worried about the Shinigami. As Ailene had her maw shut, she could not hide the blackened reiatsu that was flowing from the openings in her maw. Camila might have assumed that it was yet another Bala, but this was a much more powerful technique. Doing the best to turn her head, Ailene braced herself as she knew this would result in her taking some recoil.

As the Espada opened her maw, looking at the pillars, a sudden burst of darkened reiatsu bursted out from her. What Camila would see would be indescribable. It seemed as if the space behind Ailene had been consume in a dark and never-ending void as it consumed even the faintest light. It was many times greater than any Cero that Camila had seen Ailene unleash. Unfortunately, Ailene's blast was a bit too powerful as even once the pillar crumbled, the burning Cero Obscuras began to char her scales. Not even her Hierro was tough enough to withstand her own powerful Cero blasts. 

It seemed that this was not all, however. Once the air cleared again and light was allowed to shine upon the line of destruction that the Cero caused, dozens of houses would be damaged, in shambles or just outright destroyed. In her gambit to escape, Ailene had presumably destroyed these houses, killing all that were inside. The Espada would attempt to rise once more, aspirating a little heavily due to the ordeal of the pillars.

{Cero Obscuras}Technique Name: [Cero Oscuras (Black Cero)]

Class: [2]

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

Whether or not this Cero or the Gran Rey Cero is the ultimate traditional Arrancar Cero is unknown. It has been speculated for several years in Hueco Mundo, but no definitive test has been able to prove it. Thus far, they have seemed quite equal. Cero Oscuras from an Espada #4 or higher is forbidden under the dome of Las Noches, but only because any Espada #4 or higher is prohibited from Ressurection under the dome anyway. This Cero is usable only by Arrancar in their released state. It releases an enormous, menacing black Cero several times the size of a regular one. It immediately obscures and removes all light from the area, so that all can be seen as it approaches is an all-consuming black.

Its charging speed and firing time are identical to a regular Cero, and it fires in a straight line. However, the explosive potential is considerably greater, and this Cero has twice the reiatsu strength of the user.

How to use technique:

Fire like a regular Cero while in a released state.

{Yersinia Bacterium}0 Stacks: Known as Stage 1, the victim suffers no real negative effects. They realize that their body has been infected with a foreign agent though as they suffer a minor immune response resulting in extremely minor lightheadedness. Nothing serious and in most circumstances, the victim can simply resume fighting as normal. This is also the point of no return.

10 Stacks: Known as Stage 2, the victim begins to suffer minor side effects. This consists of minor headaches, lightheadedness and nausea. The victim also begins to notice minor muscle fatigue. This may manifest in the form of losing a little bit of their grip on their sword. Alternatively, this could be a general feeling of weakness. It is up to the Rper to decide how this affecting their character.

50 Stacks: Known as Stage 3, the victim begins to suffer what would be considered mild side effects. The formerly minor headaches become mild, the lightheadedness and nausea become more pronounced. Additionally, the victim will sense sputum from their respiratory system as the body begins to realize that something is terrible wrong. Additionally, the victim will begin feeling an uncomfortable feeling as lymph nodes are beginning to slowly enlarge.

250 Stacks: Known as Stage 4, the victim now is still suffering from mild headaches. The nausea at this point remains, but a minor fever develops as the lymph node now grows as it become swollen. This is also where Yersinia shows another nasty side effect. The swollen lymph node at this point acts as though it is a parasite and siphons reiatsu to keep the cells alive. This occurs at a rate of 50 reiatsu per post and only one swollen lymph node will actually do so.

1050 Stacks: Known as Stage 5, the victim now suffers headaches on the more severe side. The former developed fever now becomes mild as the temperature of the victim increases. Yersinia at this point infects yet another lymph node which induces a 100 reiatsu drain per post as the two swollen lymph nodes drain 50 reiatsu each per post. Pain will form due to frequent blood clots in major vessels around the body. Adequate levels of Pain Tolerance to be determined by the Rper can resist this pain.

5250 Stacks: Known as Stage 6, the victims headaches are still severe. This fever is now considered a high fever as fatigue sets in. Additionally, another lymph node is infested as the victim now suffers from a total reiatsu drain of 150 per post. The lymph nodes have also begun feeding on the bodies' natural resources. As such, these lymph nodes each incur a stamina drain of 50 each. If at this stage, the victim is moving at 50 speed, they incur a 150 stamina penalty and their body perceives movement at 200 speed. This stamina penalty is taken into account for accumulation of bacterium. If the victim at this stage is moving at 150 speed, the body perceives it at 300 speed not only incurring the stamina drain associated with the speed, but accumulating 20 stacks worth of Bacterium as if they were moving at 300 speed.

10500 Stacks: Known as Stage 7, this is the pinnacle of Yersinia. The headache has now become unbearable, requiring a high Pain Tolerance to endure. Blood clots have formed in numerous areas of the body, causing one limb per post at the discretion of the victims' Rper to go numb. This limb always changes as the turns a blackish color for the post which is indicative of gangrene and potential necrosis. The high fever continues to torment the victim's body causing general increased discomfort and feelings of fatigue. Yersinia reaches a maximum lymph node infection of 4 which not incurs a constant stamina penalty of 200, but also drains 200 reiatsu per post. Yersinia can continue accumulating bacterium, but it will not evolve any further from this point on. In a DE thread, the victim will die from this is they are at Stage 7 for 5 posts. Their body will simply stop working as it works overtime to keep itself alive with the increased consumption of resources. In an NDE or DP thread, the victim will simply fall unconscious from the severe taxing disease on their body.

The very moment that she had been given even the slightest bit of freedom from the beast utterly tearing apart her back, Camila took advantage of it. Thankfully all of her lances had done their job, and she'd be able to take the time to recover. While the circumstances were far from optimal, her wounds would be effectively healed thanks to what she would be able to do through her release. She'd take the opportunity to Shunpo as far away from Ailene as she could manage while the Espada struggled to free herself.

As Ailene was thrashing about, Camila was focusing her reiatsu all across her body in order to tend to her own wounds that had been given by the Espada, and one caused by herself in an attempt to bind the Espada. After a few seconds, she was looking good as new. All her wounds had been healed up, and she'd even been able to give herself what felt like a few minutes of a breather in a matter of a few short seconds. She could definitely fight again, and she would absolutely need to against the Espada. Due to taking that nasty hit from her claws, Camila was effectively put on a time limit.

And speaking of those claws, once she had the ability to focus on it, Camila felt her head begin to pound. It wasn't anything intolerable, but a constant uncomfortable feeling she'd rather not have to deal with. She started to feel sick, but it was something she'd just have to deal with. She couldn't do much of anything else, especially if she wanted to walk away from this fight alive, let alone win. She'd need to think carefully about what was going to happen. She held a hand outstretched as the Espada began to charge some kind of attack.

With a burst of reiatsu, and a feeling of existential dread washing over Camila, she stared in both shock and awe as Ailene released a jet-black Cero she'd only seen on one other circumstance; against the Octava. She shuddered at the thought of what he'd done to her, and instinctively gripped at her left shoulder. After a quick second, she'd hold her hand back out. She'd need another perfect shot like the one previously made to pull this off, and potentially come back with some kind of win. She had no clue as to whether or not her attack was going to succeed in the slightest, but it was something she absolutely needed to try for.

The very moment the blast had concluded, Camila spoke an incantation in her mind, which was surprisingly difficult due to the headache she was being subjected to, but it was from impossible to complete. As she did, she turned her hand somewhat sideways, and focused on the beast before her. Bakudo number #79: Shibarikuyou. The name of the spell had been said mentally, and thus the activation had been set into motion. Should Ailene manage to dodge the invisible cast, nothing would happen.

If she didn't manage to dodge, however, eight small black "suns" would appear around her, one after the other, acting to restrain a particular part of her body. Once all eight had appeared, the last one would then form on her chest, and act to completely immobilize her. Should this have happened, Camila would've easily taken the opportunity to strike in retaliation, but only time would tell if that was the case. For now, all she could do was sit back, lower her hand after casting, and prepare to dodge out of the way if an attack was coming for her.

Technique Name: [Bakudo #79: Shibarikuyou (Death's Blackening Grasp)]
Class: [3]
Technique Type: Kido
Technique Element: [Darkness]

Technique Description and Effects:
This technique has only been used once in Tite Kubo's canon, and thus the effect is rather obscure. Once this is cast, several small black tears of reiatsu form around the victim, connected by an invisible connection, each within a meter of the last, and one for each individual body part. The entire body is instantly sealed and immobilized. While this technique can be dodged by the quick or quick thinking, it is unique in its ability to delay being broken once a victim is caught. No matter the reiatsu strength, this technique requires four seconds at minimum to break. However, this is an easily dodged technique as well which is usually rare in connecting.

How to use technique:
The casting hand must be aimed at the victim.

Incantation and Effect:
The incantation does not increase the reiatsu strength, but instead, if the technique is used with it, then every post of being caught in this technique, the victim's remaining reiatsu amount will halve from its current point. This is excluding the post of capture. Incantation unknown.

[Ailene Haschiro]

Things were going rather well for Ailene. Now having infected her opponent, the battle could soon come to a close. Ailene's infection was an awful disease that threatened to bring many to their knees. While it took a little bit to get going, it could potentially prove lethal under the right circumstances. Yet right now, her main concern was as she rose to her feet. Her eyes focused on Camila as she saw the Shinigami's hand rise to point at the Espada.

It was with this realization that Ailene needed to will herself to move. So far, this Shinigami has displayed excellent techniques in the form of Bakudo. It was a style of "spell-like" abilities that Ailene was vaguely familiar with. In truth, if she were in any other form, but her ressureccion, she would have genuinely considered having a nice discussion about it with the Shinigami. Alas, this was not that time and Ailene was sure that if she was caught with whatever would potentially be flung at her, it could mean her end.

With quick thinking and even quicker speed thanks to a Sonido, Ailene darted away from the location of the Bakudo. Before using her Sonido, she noticed and heard the audible appearance of the suns that would form around its target. Ailene presumed that this was just a lethal Hado based on the appearance of the black suns. Naturally, she was wrong due to never having encountered the technique before, but history would tell her that standing in place was certainly not the way to go.

Ailene's Sonido would carry her with an audible boom ontop of another building as she looked upon her prey once more. Camila had proved herself a worthy combatant to the Espada so far. Yet Ailene could tell that despite Camila's physical appearance, the bacteria would soon come to overtake her. She seemed a little fatigued due to the incredible amount of reiatsu that she was using up. Ailene had the benefit of being able to temporarily halt the amount of reiatsu she was expending for techniques. This was the power that all Arrancars innately have in their release.

Looking down upon Camila, Ailene realized that she was soon going to be at full power. A sadistic and vicious smile would touch the Wyvern's maw which if Camila payed close attention to if at all, she would notice it without a doubt. Not just that, she would be able to feel the malevolence of the wyvern. Not just its crushing weight, but the true pain and suffering that Ailene was hoping to inflict upon her victim.

It seemed that after Camila's last bursts of reiatsu, she was beginning to enter the next stage of the bacterial infection. Ailene had an inherent link to her own bacteria so she could sense the stage of progression that the bacteria was at. Ailene would watch the Shinigami's neck closely as even Camila herself would feel some swelling. It was her lymph node that began to grow and swell to an abnormal size. This was definitely not a normal sign and Camila would most likely be able to tell the origin of the swelling.

Ontop of the swelling of lymph nodes, Camila would soon begin to feel the former fever return with a vengeance. Her headache and fever which were temporarily halted by Ailene's weakening of the Shinigami's immune system would begin to return. Not only that, but the infection seemed to quicken. Camila may not have innately realized this, but Ailene knew that it was only a matter of time before she would progress to the next stages if she lived that long. 

Normally, it would be below Ailene to play with her food, at least while she had most of her power sealed away. But the wyvern enjoyed suffering of its prey more than anything. Sometimes, it was even better than the delicious meal itself. As the Espada disappeared from sight again using a Sonido, moving at an incredible speed of 3900, she would try to appear before Camila as her next motions if successful would prove nothing more than torture. She would spin around and attempt to slam her tail into Shinigami's body. In fact, if Camila did get hit by it, she would feel herself get slammed into wall behind her, but Ailene was attempting to pin her to the wall by her tail.

If she was able to do so, Ailene would then coil somewhat with her own body, now facing the Shinigami. Using her talons she would then make the attempt to to pin the Shinigami's arms with her own talons. If this was successful as well, Ailene would now have the Shinigami completely immobilized against the wall. Ailene would then open her mouth as not only would Camila feel the plagued mists surround her, but she would feel a bala slam against her. Ailene purposely tuned down the power of the bala to be weaker as to not kill her outright, but the bombardment would still hurt like hell. At this close range and if immobilized, Camila would have to truly make a miracle happen to dodge these bala. Ailene would continue in this case, continuously bombarding the Shinigami with densely concentrated bala. She wanted to break this Shinigami. Make her lose all hope and then devour her whole.

(OOC: Ailene is being declared the winner for the fight!)

Camila felt her heart sink the very moment that her Bakudo didn't connect. She didn't know what was going to come, but she had lost whatever advantage she may have had over the Espada. There was no way she could've feasibly turned this situation around now; not on her own at least. Something would have to bring about a miracle for her to even hope to win the fight. With that looking further and further from a possible outcome, Camila grew incredibly weary.

Let me out.

Before she could even take the time to react, Camila felt herself take an absolutely destructive hit from Ailene's tail, slamming her into a wall. Considering her condition had only been worsening, and it had been working to impair her combat abilities, there wasn't much she could do in order to get out of the way of the attack to begin with. Her mind had been far too clouded dealing with the headache and growing fever, as well as her neck starting to swell. She had to take the hit.

Let me out. You know you need to.

With a gasp as she felt the wind being knocked out of her, Camila's eyes opened wide as she stared at the beast before her. She started coughing to catch her breath, and did what she could to will herself not to vomit from the nausea that had been taking its toll on her due to Ailene's dreaded abilities. There wasn't much she could do. A single tear fell down her cheek as her second life effectively flashed before her eyes. Was this really going to be the end of her? Was there nothing she could do?

Surrender control, Camila. Face it, you need me.

For the third time, she'd heard some sort of voice echoing in her head. She couldn't identify it, but it felt... familiar. Like a long lost friend. She could use a friend right now. She could use someone to trust, to help her get out of this awful situation; to come to her rescue. Maybe letting someone help her wasn't such a bad idea right now. Maybe getting help wasn't such a bad thing. Maybe this could help her not necessarily beat the Espada, but survive the encounter.

[smear:ff0000]"Oh, how it's great to be back~!"[/smear:880000]

With those words spoken aloud, an absolutely massive surge of whatever strength backing her reiatsu Camila had left was launched outward. If she had done very little to control her reiatsu before, this would likely feel like a whole other level. Though, to those able to sense reiatsu, this wouldn't feel like your run-of-the-mill Shinigami reiatsu signature. It'd likely feel like that of both Shinigami and Hollow intertwined, like some sort of impure fusion of the two races.

As this wave was launched outward, Camila had been made the unfortunate target of one of the Espada's Bala. She had nowhere to go otherwise, so she was all but forced to take the blow. She felt her neck bend in a rather uncomfortable position, but far from enough to do any serious harm like break it. Burns washed over her body, but she didn't seem to feel it. Sure, it would've likely caused excruciating pain, but she seemed to power through it.

As she slowly lowered her head and opened her eyes, Camila stared right into the Espada's. Cami's left eye had gone from the normal color it had always been to now golden, with pitch-black sclera. Her right eye remained the same. Above her left eye seemed to be a huge concentration of hollow reiatsu, but far from enough to make anything noticeable appear. A wicked smile slowly creeped over the Shinigami's face. [smear:ff0000]"Why, hello again~!"[/smear:880000] she said, her voice reverberating in an eerie fashion, [smear:ff0000]"It's been faaaaar too long since we've been able to see each other again, yeah~? How's about you let me down, n' we go our separate ways before I reeeeally start to get angry~?"[/smear:880000]

As she had said this, four lances of blood had appeared around Camila's crippled position, each having two aimed at Ailene's two eyes. All it would take was for her to will them to be fired for them to launch, but she seemed to be holding back, quite uncharacteristically when compared to the fight that they had just gone through. It likely wouldn't take a genius to realize that Camila likely wasn't in control of herself at this point, though from their previous encounter, Ailene would likely be able to make this connection.

[Ailene Haschiro]

The sight of what Camila was enduring would likely being anyone either to tears or make them feel nothing, but pity. This was not the case with Ailene, however. Above all else, she was actually enjoying herself. After all, she got to put a brat into her place, but she would also get to enjoy a tasty morsel by the end of this. After all, the Arrancar did enjoy the plight and hopelessness that befell her victims. As the disease continued to assault their body, clouding their minds and dulling their sense.

Despite all of that, the scene of what Ailene was doing to Camila could only be described as brutal. As Ailene pinned her against the wall, she felt the the sense of despair touch her heart. In this bestial form, Ailene knew exactly how to make others suffer. Especially this Shinigami as Ailene's vindictive behavior seemed to accompany the Espada into her released state. Typically, Ailene would assume a polar opposite, but there were aspects of her personality that were able to be retained.

The Bala would continue to brutalize and break her body as she seemed to take it all head on. It was then that Ailene would hear something. The voice sounded distorted yet clear. Peering closer at Camila, Ailene noticed a change about her. From a physical appearance, her eyes were changing. Blackness inked the sclera as her once white sclera would become as dark as the night sky. Her eye had also assumed a golden color. Ailene was curious yet cautious.

The distorted voice became clearer as Ailene heard it. [smear:ff0000]"Why, hello again~!"[/smear:880000] The Espada would eye the Shinigami carefully. It seemed that something was possessing her. Was this what she referred to when she mentioned that she was not in full control of herself. The bacteria was still raging on inside Camila's body, but Ailene's power did not cause delirium in her victims. They would be assaulted by a sleugh of physical ailments, but delirium was never one of them.

Ailene still continued to keep her wits about her. She continued to listen. [smear:ff0000]"It's been faaaaar too long since we've been able to see each other again, yeah~? How's about you let me down, n' we go our separate ways before I reeeeally start to get angry~?"[/smear:880000] Even despite her curiosity, the beast-like form would prove to be the far more dominant personality in this case. After all, she wanted to devour her target, but this was becoming increasingly more interesting.

At first Ailene considered the Shinigami's words an empty threat. While her voice sounded creepy, it did not hold any authority to Ailene. As the Arrancar would peer at Camila, she began to notice the numerous lances that were being formed again. Was she really able to keep going. In response, even though the lances did not move an inch, Ailene quickly flung Camila to the side. If Aldwin did not take care, he would slide along the ground roughly and Camila would most likely not appreciate this. Thank to her rather versatile ability to track and detect spiritual signatures, Ailene knew something was off immediately. The felt not only the reiatsu of Shinigami, but also the reiatsu of a Hollow. This was unlike anything Ailene was accustomed to. 

The Espada slowly began to rustle her fur and scales as she growled softly. She would begin to speak in a deep and dark voice. Her words oozed with malevolence and the burning hot desire to crush the little Shinigami between her massive maw. She did not care who was piloting the body nor did she really understand it. She would be looking to go for the kill no matter who it was. "Stronger...Different. No matter...Kill!"

If Camila was taking the time to pay attention despite her own predicament, they would both notice the clouds begin to cover the rays of the sun, turning a bright and sunny day into one of doom and gloom. With that, the Espada would begin to take flight, hovering above her previous location, but still being rather easily seen by Camila. At this point, Ailene had given into her bestial desires. This could give her the resolve she needed as she would claw at her chest again. This time, her talons would be coated in the dreadful blood of the beast. Letting it dripped within her mouth, the Espada would begin to charge a certain Cero. A blue coloration began to be noted from the Arrancars' mouth as she peered closely at the Shinigami.

If paying close attention, her opponent would be able to tell that this technique was unlike any other that Ailene had. It would prove absolutely lethal in the best of circumstances and haunted with the fear of being incinerated coming a dream come true as the worst circumstance. As Ailene would fire it whever Camila stood, Ailene would take care to release the Cero. If Camila was out in the open, a massive buzzing blade akin to a Cero rocketed towards her at speeds much greater than the regular Cero. Additionally, it seemed to pulse electricity if eyed carefully. Ailene was beginning to become impatient, deciding the destroy this entire town if that is what she needed to do.

Being immediately flung by the beast wasn't exactly something that Albin was fond of right after gaining control. Even so, he quickly rebounded to his feet with abnormal amounts of grace for someone who was being made a victim of a plague. After he caught his balance, he stood up and stared into the sky. [smear:ff0000]"Tch,"[/smear:880000] he started noticing the sky was blackening and Ailene was beginning to concentrate significantly more reiatsu on the area than he could keep track of, [smear:ff0000]"guess that answers that question, huh. Alright then, mutt, no more mister nice hollow. Hope you're ready for this, then~"[/smear:880000]

Taking to the sky with abnormal amounts of speed thanks to that of a shunpo, he quickly zipped to appear behind the dragon currently dominating the sky with an abysmally depressing aura. This wasn't something he wanted to keep up there, and as such, armed himself with the previously unlaunched lances, now aiming straight down the beast's back. [smear:ff0000]"Gotcha, bitch~!"[/smear:880000] he shouted, as he launched all four of them straight down her back.

From a point blank range, he was fairly confident they'd hit, even if they dealt no real harm to the beast. That wasn't necessarily his goal here. Instead, he used one of them as a footrest of sorts while it stayed pinned against her hierro. Bending his leg, prepped to jump, and tried to "push" the dragon out of the sky with his legs. Thanks to Cami's physical prowess being lacking, this was likely far from able to do much of anything except maybe unbalance the beast. As such, he'd shunpo back down to the lance, and repeat the process oncemore, still looking to throw off Ailene in any way he could.

This wasn't a matter of trying to win the fight, this was more a matter of sending a message. He wanted to make sure that the Espada knew that even though she might've been stronger than the two of them, there was absolutely no way that they were going to just sit back and take whatever kind of virulent assault she may have launched at them. They'd fight back until they physically couldn't move anymore. Nothing short of their limbs being unable to function would cause these two to give up.

[smear:ff0000]"Well, beastie,"[/smear:880000] Albin started, falling through the air as far out of range from the Gran Rey Cero as he possibly could've, should it have been fired, [smear:ff0000]"it's been fun and all, but I really should be taking my leave. I'm sure we'll meet again much sooner than we think! Until then, don't die~!"[/smear:880000] With those words being finished, the torrent of reiatsu that Albin had been releasing through his entire time interacting with Camila had quickly come to a close, and any trace of that hollow reiatsu leaking out from her had seemingly vanished. All that remained was Camila, who appeared to be incredibly dizzy, gripping her head tightly.

[Ailene Haschiro]

As it was time for Ailene to release the Cero, it seemed that Albin was going to attempt to take this fight into the air using a Shunpo. Was he really going to try and contest the Espada in the air when had clearer superiority. It truly seemed that this Hollow did not feel fear and just wanted to show off, attempting to prove that he was able to fight alongside the best. Ailene would not have this, however. It would be time to eradicate the Shinigami along with a good bit of the surrounding area.

Releasing the Cero, it bolted forward with blinding speeds as it seems that Ailene did not make her mark. In fact, Albin would now be above her. Though with the proximity, Ailene would brace herself as the Cero collided with the ground. As it did, Albin and Ailene would see a massive discharge of electricity that threatened to consume a few neighboring blocks. The flash that it created was blinding as a massive pillar of blue reiatsu shot up into the air, most likely being visible for all to see. 

It seemed that despite the fact that Camila's body was being wracked by fatigue and the plague, Albin still managed to show resolve and power. Ailene felt the lances for once as they actually pierced her Hierro. Wailing and wincing, she roared aggressively as Albin seemed to want to utilize the lances as a springboard and push Ailene down. Thankfully, the Espada's form was bulkier than that of the Shinigami, allowing Ailene to shrug off the physical force. 

As he attempted this twice more, Ailene felt the digging of the lances into her scales for once much more than the physical force that Albin was exerting on her. Naturally she was still able to keep her balance rather well, being attuned to fighting in the air at this point. It was at this point that after the lances, Ailene would notice Albin fall gracefully through the air. Ailene could sense the Hollow-like signature being able to diminish. Where did that temporary burst of power come from?

The Espada would hear him with a bit of difficulty. [smear:ff0000]"it's been fun and all, but I really should be taking my leave. I'm sure we'll meet again much sooner than we think! Until then, don't die~!"[/smear:880000] Ailene was utterly perplexed. Who was it that just digged into her Hierro. She was sure that it wasn't Camila. Based on her shown abilities, it couldn't have been atleast not with the lances. It almost seemed as though Camila was being guided by a much stronger and fierce force. 

The Shinigami would then glide through the air as the possession seemed to fade. Ailene would take this chance to make her move. Flying through the air gracefully, she would catch up with Camila, wrapping her claw around her. Her flight path began to curve as the Arrancar suddenly dropped straight down, slamming the Shinigami into the ground. After all, her reiatsu returned to what appeared to be much more like a Shinigami. She was down for the count. 

As both of them were in the crater left over by Ailene surrounded by destroyed houses, burnt corpses and belongings to what used to be living people, Ailene looked over her prey. Now would be her chance. She could make sure to devour her. She would never bother her again and it would be shown that trifling with an Espada is sure to cause pain to anyone who dared. However, the crater that was left over touched something in Ailene. Perhaps it was her fleeting sense of humanity while released. Perhaps it was a moment of reflection. She was not sure.

The form of the Arrancar began to slowly shrink as a black orb surrounded the entirety of the Espada. If Camila was still conscious by this point, Ailene would arise from the dark sphere, her Zanpakutou in hand with her sheath in the other. Did Ailene really find the will to end her bloodthirst? To let this Shinigami live another day. After all, for a time, Camila did hold her own and showed promise. Perhaps one day, she could prove to be an asset.

She did not seem to have much love for the Soul Society. But that was neither here nor there. Ailene would simply walk up to the broken body of her opponent as she pointed her Zanpakutou at Camila's throat. Tilting her chin up, Ailene made eye contact with the woman before her. The Espada was impressed with her resolve, but equally melancholy over the destruction she had caused. Ailene would take the time to speak calmly unlike how she had been communicating formerly. 

"You've proven that you can stand alongside the strong. You've shown that you possess incredible resolve even in the face of adversity. Even despite your inexcusable comments, I have decided that I will allow to survive this encounter. Though.." Ailene's blade would move somewhat, the serrated edge digging into Camila's chin for a moment before Ailene slid it out, wiping off the blood and sheating her Zanpakutou. "Know that others like me will not display the same kindness. Remember this day well. Remember pain and suffering as I have taught you today." 

Ailene would then motion to before Camila. A garganta would open, revealing the black void that would lead to a familiar site for her. Ailene then looked back down at her opponent. "This will lead you back to the Soul Society. Use whatever strength you have left to make it there or perish in the eternal sea of the void." The path to the Soul Society via Garganta seemed to be rather short. Even with her injuries and soon fading consciousness, Ailene felt that she could still make the trip. Ailene would then proceed to motion beside herself as well. Another Garganta would open up as Ailene proceeded to step through it before looking back. Just before it closed, Camila may have been able to hear the Espada for a moment. "Farewell, Soul Reaper."

With that, the Garganta would close. Ailene would make her way through the void, creating a stable reishi pathway that would soon lead to the familiar white desert and night sky of Hueco Mundo. As the visage of Las Noches was in the distance, Ailene would smile. This scenario had became far more interesting than she expected. In fact, she was curious about what happened towards the end of the fight. Who was she up against? Was it truly Camila? All questions that she would soon have to have answered as with a final look, she turned about and headed home to Las Noches.

[Deleted]

Before she could realize what was going on, Camila was roughly grabbed by Ailene, and slammed straight into the ground. In her already weakened state, Camila barely managed to maintain consciousness after an attack like that. Her head was absolutely spinning, her mind was racing and pounding, and she felt absolutely awful. Seeming to have blacked out entirely, She stared at the Espada in complete confusion, as though she had just arrived here without remembering any of the last minute or two.

A mild wave of panic surged through Camila as she feared for her life, but it was odd; it was a sort of delusional panic, usually accompanied by a strong and overwhelming sense of confusion due to not knowing what was going on, like that of some kind of victim of amnesia. The confusion only continued to grow as she saw the Espada be enveloped by some sort of black field, and step back out into her more humanoid, sealed form. Had the fight ended, and she took too much damage to remember?

Camila's confusion continued to rise as Ailene put a blade to her chin. Her eyes widened. Then, Ailene began to speak. "You've proven that you can stand alongside the strong. You've shown that you possess incredible resolve even in the face of adversity. Even despite your inexcusable comments, I have decided that I will allow to survive this encounter. Though.." Camila winced as Ailene's blade was dragged along Camila's chin, causing her to bleed just a bit. "Know that others like me will not display the same kindness. Remember this day well. Remember pain and suffering as I have taught you today." She nodded slowly, acknowledging every aspect of the Espada's words.

She'd certainly put up a good fight against Ailene, and being able to square off against an Espada was certainly no joke. She'd need to make a report on this. Ugh, more paperwork, she thought to herself, a small smile rising to her face. "This will lead you back to the Soul Society. Use whatever strength you have left to make it there or perish in the eternal sea of the void." She glared into the abyss of the garganta that had been opened by Ailene, and forced herself to stand, using her Zanpakuto as leverage.

"Ailene," she called out, before she saw the Espada fade from existence within the Human World, "thank you. You remember this too, though. Next we meet, I'll be the one kicking your ass!" She flashed a friendly smirk at the Espada, as she forced herself through the garganta, and walked. It didn't take too long until she had arrived back in Seireitei, though not without being met with concern as to why she had entered through a garganta like the one she had. Looks like she had an evening of explaining ahead of her.
