[Zou ۞]

The skies were a mix of dull orange and bright red, fusing together to make an ominous crimson. The sky was the same color as blood. Nothing could be more ominous than this, especially considering that this day was a day of death. Enormous catapults were lined up at all four gates that entered Seireitei, assaults coming on all sides. The Shinigami had mapped out their strategy incorrectly. They had not realized just how many people the rebellion actually possessed.

Worse yet, they had not even realized how much artillery or power the rebellion possessed. Enormous iron spiked balls were visible on the catapults. To make things worse, there were holes all over the spiked balls, which burst into flame upon being launched. Worse still, most of them carried odd detonation devices on the inside, which exploded after 20 seconds of being lit by fire. Soul Society's gate guards were standing fall and firm, for they were incredibly powerful, and had been ever since a ryoka sneak in 12 years previously.

However, even they were being overwhelmed by the destructive power of the artillery. The rebellion members all had their Zanpakutou or ordinary katana strapped to their backs. However, most of them were not using them. They were all wearing an odd square plating armor which was flexible, but nearly indestructible. It also, very confusingly, bent, despite being only one piece, and sealed off, no entrances of exits. Worse yet, nobody had any idea how to damage them. All the efforts performed by the Guards had yielded nothing but mere scratches.

The whole invasion would well end with Soul Society being taken over. There was a shadow looming as Shinigami from all around Seireitei drew their blades, preparing to fight inside the area. The gates could hold out no longer, and they would soon be breached. Soon, it would begin. One General was yelling orders, shouting commands. Nobody was exactly certain where he was from. Rumors spoke of "Zero Division." Captains seemed to know about it, but not many others really knew anything.

This General however, was someone that everybody knew. He was legend, a hero. He was tall, exactly 6'1, and with a solid tan. His hair was gray, not white, gray, and a short crop. He wore a General's hat in blue, with a gold stud on the front center. His outfit was quite custom. He wore a blue buttoned up coat and gray pants, with solid brown boots. His hands were behind his back, diagonally wrapped around his wrists. His eyes were a fierce, unbending gray, and his face was powerful, strong, even though middle age had given him wrinkles. Everyone knew him to be former Squad 11 Captain Aryuu Juuken. However, he was known by everyone that served under him with another title.

Old Lightning. He was said to smash into his enemies like lightning, leaving them not only stunned, but utterly decimated. Even in the toughest of situations he could win. It was for that reason that aside from being the squad 11 Captain at one time, he'd also been Captain of another Squad, before deciding to join the Zero Division. At one time, he had been the Captain of Squad 1, The Captain Commander of the Gotei Thirteen. The Shinigami had confidence, because this legendary General was on their side. He stood at the very top of the outlook tower, where several Shinigami were posted. He was in the very front. Flames and pieces of metal from weapons or projectiles rushed past people, causing them to back up. Old Lightning didn't budge an inch. People were also firing blasts of spiritual power, and other things, Kidou included, while some were throwing blades.

"Focus your return catapult efforts on the ground behind their catapults." Old Lightning commanded confidently. "It does not matter if you hit any of them or not. Do not stop bombarding until I give the word." His voice was a thunderous blast, echoing across all of Seireitei. And yet, somehow the enemy was deaf to his commands, not knowing of his plans. A blade flew straight towards Old Lightning, and his left hand flicked up, catching it an inch before it hit his eye. A Shakkaho slammed into his arm dead on, and he hurled the blade away right after. He seemed undamaged as he returned his hands to the position before, and did not move back even a centimeter. His arm was steaming and had some burns on it, but when he spoke, his voice held no pain. "Kidou Squad, break their lines in the top and bottom with your basic Kidou, then scatter the center with the more advanced techniques." Old Lightning looked around. "Shikai users, if any of you have long range attacks, use them at the right and left of the enemy forces."

OOC: Anyone that enters, don't just give me an intro. Do something in your first post, and don't just stand there staring and thinking. Don't just give me thoughts, or talking to yourself. Give me some speaking to multiple characters, give me some action.

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri stood inside the gates on the far left of the city. He heard the thunderous sounds of Old Lightning. He stood there in a black shirt, the shirt was quite old, it had many holes and tears all over. he had on black pants, Chains hung from the pockets, weighing each about 5 pounds each. It was noticable that they could unhook easily from the pockets, He must of been working on building up his speed. He stood at about 5' 8", Standing upon the hill he was on however made him appear taller than his actual height. He looked back upon the small group of Shinigami behind him. Dimitri not being a captain couldnt technicly give orders to these men, However seeing as how they where lacking a captain, He turned to them and began to speak.

"Look around you, Look at all that we have built up over all these years. Are we just gona let that go to waste, ALL BEACUSE OF SOME REBEL SCUMS." He raised his katana in the air wanting an answer back in response. "No, I for one will not let all of the Soul Society's hard work go to waste." He looked seriously at them as he yelled. "NOW WHO'S WITH ME" He raised his sword in the air as he yelled this. Turning back to the opening in the wall that he had found. "Now listen" He pointed over to the hole in the wall. "While the other Shinigami are blasting away at the Rebels, We need to sneak up on them from the far side." He was feeling confident in this plan he began making in his head. "We are going to exit through that opening in the city wall, Thus he turned around the back of the enemy through the tree." He gave a serious look on his face. "Let no one live, give them hell, fight with all you have in you." He turned back jumping from the hill. They all one by one began to go out through the opening, racing through the tree's preparing a flank. What would happen to this groupd of Shinigami?

[Zou ۞]

The Shinigami following Dimitri cheered, and quickly raced out, undetected through the hole. Within mere minutes, they were behind the enemy forces. It was up to Dimitri to set up a proper plan of attack. "Fortify your front lines." Old Lightning commanded his troops. "Ready...BEGIN THE PLAN!" Powerful blasts all around fired off towards the enemy forces in an instant.

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri looked in surprise as they where already behind the enemy, He looked back upon his men saying loud enough for them to hear but not to much the enemy heard. "We need to keep a strong front line, No matter what do not let our front line break." He looked back as some Rebels where running past, The men all got down going unnoticed by the Rebels. "I want the strongest to come with me to fortify the front lines, and You" He pointed to one of the Shinigami. "I want you to lead the attack on the left of the enemy, Make sure you go on my signal." He looked around at them all. "We have no choice but to win this battle, If we fail here the Soul Society will be defeated." He turned "When you see me and the rest of the group im taking attack, I want you to commence your attack." He looked at the Shinigami he picked to lead the other group. "Am i understood?" Once he received and answer he turn and began running beetween the trees heading towards the back of the enemy flank. What would happent ot he Shinigami next? Would they suceed in this battle?

[Zou ۞]

Suddenly, enormous blasts of orange Reiatsu exploded all around Dimitri's position, and scattered his forces. There were others, not part of the main force, and they were watching from somewhere, sniping. Dimitri would most certainly be killed along with his forces if nothing could be done. This was certain. Meanwhile, way over where he was, Old Lightning had succeeded in his plan for the most part.

"We have scattered them, and now they are rushing at us head on like wild animals with no organization." Old Lightning said. A Shakkaho flew over and hit him dead in the chest. Steam emitted from his chest, but he did not budge even an inch, and he didn't even have a first degree burn. It was uncertain how it hadn't even left proper damage, but it was probably a technique of Old Lightning's. "Their catapults are destroyed, and they are now reduced to savages." Old Lightning declared. "They will break through our gates. When they do, prepare to have them ambushed by the water users. We will flood them out."

As the rebels, in their sparkling armor, made it through the gates, Old Lightning shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing all across Soul Society like thunder "NOW!" Instantly, several people started chanting their Zanpakutou names, and massive floods or blasts or shapes of water flew all around at all the gates, causing the rebels to be scattered away from their savage horde type formation as they were sucked away by the water. Many of them managed to levitate out of the water, but it seemed that this was part of Old Lightning's plan. "They are in the air!" he exclaimed. Jets of air and Reiatsu were visibly coming from the soles of the boots of the armor. "FIRE!" Old Lightning shouted. Huge blasts of Kidou began pelting the rebels in their armor. Only one had a noticeable effect.

"BYAKURAI DENTS AND PIERCES THEIR ARMOR!" Old Lightning exclaimed. "HADO #4! USE ONLY THAT!" Immediately, strings of this began firing, hitting the enemy like bullets. They had fallen prey to Old Lightning's genius strategy. One of them, in Green Armor, managed to get aim at Old Lightning's head. The Green Armored Figure was about to fire, when he was literally decapitated by a dozen Byakurai at once to the neck.

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri dodged the Reiatsu yelling as he did. "Get down snipers." He had seen where one of the Reiatsu came from, accordingly he went behind a tree that blocked him from view in that direction. "They are on that far Hill up ahead, We need to take them out before we can move on." He looked around. "We need to sneak up through the trees, Dont let yourself be seen" He began sneaking through the tree's hoping no to be spotted.

On the other side the male, that Dimitri appointed to lead the other squad, Was watching for Dimitri to began attacking, Wich would be the sign for him to flank the enemy. However he only saw Reiatsu blowing up in the forest nearby, He began to panic not knowing what to do. Had Dimitri made a mistake with this attack that was not given in order by Old Lightning? He began to wonder if he had made a mistake in bringing these men out here.

[Zou ۞]

The entire forest burst into flames, and Dimitri's entire force was exposed by the sudden destruction of the trees. What had started the fire?! It couldn't have been the snipers! What was it? Then the cause was revealed. They were in smaller, more compact black armor. Exo-suits. They had flames that they could use. There were only six of them, yet they were burning the forest into nothing. What could Dimitri do?

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri looked over to the few remaining men, there where 4 plus dimitri. He went over to them whispering to them. "We need to sneak attack them, it will be 6 on 5 but we can take on out easily together and worry about the rest after that." "Split up and flank the left and right sides." The group split 2 coming with Dimitri and the other 2 going the other way. He reached the right flank of the Exo-Suites. He raised a hand in the air cutting it down through the air at the Exo-Suits signaling to start the attack. They charged from both sides hopefull unoticed so far.

[Zou ۞]

The Exo Suits all whirled around to face their opponents, the suits obviously giving them enhanced sensory and other things. Flames burst out, instantly catching and incinerating one of those that rushed at the Exo Suits, and most likely causing all of the others to back off. If they did not back off, then they too would be incinerated in an instant. The Exo Suits all drew out large claymore swords, and began hurling them around in attempts to slash their enemies into ribbons.

[Hara Lucious]

"Get back!" Dimitri yelled as he moved back from the Exo Suits. The others did so as well, they all hid in the tree's to avoid detection hopefully. Dimitri saw one of the Shinigami on the ground now dead from burns. "Damit, what am i doing here, i shouldnt be getting into this." Dimitri had been told to stay out of the battle beacuse of something he did that got him in trouble. He had gotten the captain killed that was suppose to be in charge right now. "Old Lightning would kill me if he knew i was leading this force out here without his order." He was now begining to doubt this, Wich was a bad thing to be doing right now.

[Zou ۞]

An arrow made purely of Reiatsu shot straight towards Dimitri, and missed him by a mere inch. From out of nowhere, came a new foe. With a flick of his left hand, the Exo Suits backed off. It was uncertain how Dimitri and his followers had been located by this newcomer, but it certainly wasn't good that they had been located.

He stood tall, fully erect. His shoulders were broad, and he was indeed muscular. Boasting a six pack, and arm and leg muscles, he was an obvious athlete. His eyes were a blazing, devil-may-care orange. His hair was also orange, and it was unruly, spiked, wild like a fire. The man's skin was slightly tanned, a pinkish melanin. He wore a dark red leather coat with long coat tails. It was long sleeve, and had pockets on the sides. He wore it unzipped, and along with it, he wore gray leather pants, and light black shoes. "Damn. Just a bunch of low life unranked and one seated." he said.

"I was expecting to run into someone stronger if they were leading a flanking effort. Where's your captain? Did he get killed?" The newcomer fired off another Quincy arrow, and his bow wasn't even visible as this happened. The arrow appeared to simply fly out of his hand towards Dimitri. "You wanna know who I am?" he asked. "Shiga Urago." he said as a mask materialized in his left hand. In bloody red font, a number was printed on the forehead. "5." "Ogatago 5." he said as the mask shattered. [Shiga Urago, Ogatago #5, Class 1]

Shiga's Remaining Reiatsu: 2980

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri moved from the way of the Arrow that was flying towards him. "You think i am afraid of such likes of you?" He laughed abit as a smirk grew across his face. "You have no buisness being here." He sprinted at the Male as he unsheathed his Katana, Slicing it across his body. He put alot of force behind it hoping to make this a fast fight. He however did have doubts in the back of his mind about the fight though, He wasnt sure if he was gona be able to win or not but here he was still charging full force at Shiga.

[Zou ۞]

Shiga brought up his right hand without even drawing his sword. He grabbed Dimitri's blade cleanly out the air with amazing speed. He squeezed the blade. It couldn't cut him, signifying that he had a strong Hierro. "I'm a Shinigami with Quincy powers, and a Hierro." Shiga said. "I have dolls too. I've got my original powers, plus some Arrancar, Quincy, and Bount powers. I've mastered all of them, and you haven't even unlocked Shikai." He punched Dimitri cleanly in the stomach, but did so with nothing but a small tap.

It was fast, too fast to stop. Dimitri was literally blasted high up into the air, hundreds of feet into the air as blood was forced from his mouth, and his stomach nearly exploded. Shiga fired off Reiatsu arrows into the foreheads of all the Shinigami that had been under Dimitri's command, and he launched high up into the air. Shiga kicked Dimitri in the chest with speed and power Dimitri still did not have. This sent him flying through the air with massive forces, straight onto the tower that Old Lightning was on, crashing onto it and skidding into a wall. Surprisingly, there wasn't too much damage in his body aside from some sprains and twists, except for his left arm that is. His entire left arm was useless, every single bone in it was crushed into more than 25 pieces, reduced almost completely to dust.

Shiga's Remaining Reiatsu: 2940 Reiatsu

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri flew up in the air from the punch, He looked down seeing his Shinigami allys get hit with the arrows. Before he knew it he was flying back towards the walls, Right where old lightning was. He hit the wall as he skidded on the ground before coming to a stop. Screaming in pain from his broken arm. He looked over seeing Old Lightning, He stopped yelling standing up straight. "Ehh about this." He laughed abit trying to lighten his situation. "How have you been Old Lighting.."
