A girl that looked to be about 18 years old could be seen walking around. She was about 5'4 and wore a white dress with a small black tribal dragon design on the lower right of it. She wore a sleeveless arrancar coat with a high collar over it. Under the dress she wore black biker shorts. She also wore knee length boots that had loose silver straps at the ankles. She wore the coat open. The arrancar coat was lose with criss-crossing black straps at the openings. She had long blue-green hair that had bright green tips and bright, vibrant green eyes. She had grey outlines around her eyes. Her hollow mask remains looked like a crown, there were 4 prongs on each side progressively getting longer. She was was Asuka Hitotoki.

[Zou ۞]

A Cero flared past Asuka, directly in front of her face. "Not a step further, nina." a man's voice said. He stepped forward, revealing himself to be in white boots, white pants, and a silver sleeveless vest. His vest was unzipped, and his muscularity was visible. A six pack and good arm muscle with broad shoulders, plus he was tanned. His hair was a blonde afro, and he had a black mustache. His eyes were a beating brown, and he had a deep, accented voice.

"Allow me to explain our rankings", he said. "They differ from those of Las Noches. Our regular Arrancar are simply called Lanza. Each one retains their number from being part of Las Noches, as in, their number of birth. However, there are 9 powerful warriors among Crepusculo known as Escudo. We are essentially the counterparts of The Espada. 9-1, 9 is weakest 1 is strongest." He had said we. "Each lower Escudo represents a hollow type, and specializes in the abilities of that type. This is to say, 9-5. Each higher Escudo, 4-1, represent a specific hollow trait, and their powers are specific to such.]

The Arrancar smiled coldly at Asuka. "Escudo #9, Dordoni Zommari Sanchez." [Dordoni Zommari Sanchez, Nuevo Escudo. Class 4. Gillian Representative. Specializes in Cero. Originally was a Gillian.] He drew out his Zanpakutou, aiming it at Asuka. "Escudo means Shield, and Espada means Sword. We will block your Espada and dull your points, and then we will destroy you all."

As Asuka began to take a step forward she watched as cero fired past her. "What the hell?!?!?" she thought as her eyes widened in surprise. "Not a step further, nina" she heard. "Si Senor!!" she exclaimed. That was a close call. She turned to look at a man with a blonde afro. Asuka was on the verge of laughing at the man. "God he's so ugly..." she thought.

She rolled her eyes at his speech about the Escudo. She didn't care one bit. "Escudo, Espada...Tomato, tomahto..I don't care." she said as she brought out her twin whips, unsheathing the hilt to reveal the blades. "I just want to kick your ass for that cero.." she said as she looked at Dordoni. She was waiting for him to attack.

[Zou ۞]

"I like your spirit, Nina." Dordoni said. "But you underestimate me, and the Escudo. You don't realize just how powerful...we really are..." In the blink of an eye, he was gone. An enormous roaring sound occurred from behind Asuka, and a gigantic green Cero flew past her left, while a pink one flew past her right. Dordoni was above her very suddenly, his shadow blotting out the sun. A charging sound was heard. Something was coming.

Meanwhile, from somewhere else, Kuroi had his hands in his pockets, and was simply turning this way and that to block sword strikes with his arm, which had a powerful Hierro. He neared Asuka as he backed up to block a hit. "Cero specialists are beaten by using Bala." Kuroi said.

[Deleted]

Asuka darted her eyes at him. He was suddenly gone! She heard a roaring sound. Suddenly noticed a green cero being fired off to her left and a pink one to her right. She then heard Kuroi. "Bala huh.." she thought. She heard a charing sound from above "Ugh..He's above me.." she thought as she quickly dashed away to avoid what ever was aiming for her from above.

[Zou ۞]

It was a trap! Asuka was forced to move forward as a Cero struck the place where she had been like a bolt of lightning, and the two others which had been rushing forwards were suddenly absorbed into it. All three of them became a multicolored hurricane, which focused into a blast. Dordoni landed on the ground as he absorbed the whole thing into an orb in his hand. "Tercia Gran Cero." The enormous Cero flew outwards towards Asuka in an instant. What was Bala going to do against that?! The answer probably wasn't to fire Bala directly into the foe's attack, but a more obscure answer.

Kuroi suddenly drew out his Zanpakutou from where he was, parrying a strike. The spiritual pressure in the area magnified. Someone was obviously powerful enough that Kuroi felt threatened, and was forced to draw his sword. The one that Kuroi had blocked had a white zipped up jacket, and white pants, with brown boots. He had medium length brown hair, and green eyes. He had stubble of a beard all around his mouth, and his Zanpakutou was clenched tightly in his right hand.

"What number are you?" he asked as he drew back, and slashed again. He was a blur, even Kuroi could barely see him. He was fast! Kuroi barely managed to whirl to the side. "I don't owe you any answers." Kuroi replied. "Fair enough." the newcomer said. He jumped back, and rushed forward again. His blade flew towards Kuroi, who parried. Only then did Kuroi see the Cero charged on his opponent's blade. The enormous cero fired out, and Kuroi's Reiatsu barely protected him from damage.

His coat was blasted apart, as was the right sleeve of his T-shirt, revealing his bare shoulder. On it, was his number. "2". The Arrancar raised his eyebrows. "I've stumbled across quite a contender." he said. "Kuroi Naito, Segunda Espada." Kuroi said. A massive blast suddenly shot outwards, straight into the Arrancar. His jacket was blasted apart, revealing his bare torso. On his chest, in the dead center, was a number in red ink. "2". Were the two on even grounds?! "Segunda Escudo." he said. "Tenyou Shimi." [Tenyou Shimi, Escudo #2. Class 1. Specialty: Aggression. Specializes in aggressive techniques.]


Dordoni's Remaining Reiatsu: 5100 Reiatsu

Kuroi's Remaining Reitasu: 2800 Reiatsu

Tenyou's Remaining Reiatsu: 2800 Reiatsu

Asuka continued running. Although she knew it wasn't very smart to look back when running, she did it anyways. She turned her head around to see what exactly was behind her. "Oh no..." she mumbled. Her eyes met with a gigantic rainbow-like hurricane. She quickly darted off in a different direction to dodge the blast. "Argh...what the hell am I going to do..." she thought.

Reiatsu: 100/100

[Zou ۞]

The blast grazed Asuka's left side, covering her in burns and destroying the sleeve on that side. Next off, Dordoni charged twin normal Cero, and fired them off towards Asuka's face. What was going to happen if this kept up?! Asuka had to get something done soon, or she would die.

[Deleted]

"Ah!!" she yelped in pain. The cero had graze her left arm. She darted straight for Dordoni head on. As she darted forward, she quickly brought the zanpakuto in her right hand to her mouth and held it out. She hardened the reiatsu in her hand and fired of a bala as he was charging his cero as a means to stop him. She brought it down and continued to charge forward until she was at least a foot away from him. She then proceeded to stab him in the middle of his head with the hilt of her whip which was a kodachi blade that was in her left hand. He would probably move back or to either his left or right. With a simple flick of her wrists, she could easily control the whips movement. "I hope..this works...otherwise im screwed.." she thought. She flicked her wrists so that the whip could circle around Dordoni's head from behind, with the bladed tip heading straight for his temple. Her right hand was still free, ready to fire another bala. Asuka brought it out but kept it down and angled her palm in a way that her bala would fire a little above his throat. If he ducks, it would go straight through his head. Can't go left, can't go right, can't jump up, can't duck down. She fired off another bala. Did she get him?

Reiatsu: 0/100

[Zou ۞]

Dordoni was killed, and several holes were punctured into his body. He dropped dead to the ground as steam emitted from his corpse. [+150 TP to Asuka. It will be received when the adventure is over.] Meanwhile, several enormous blue colored Gillian erupted out of the ground all around Asuka, and charged Cero. They were going to fire at her! It seemed that Crepusculo had found a way to even make weaker non arrancar hollows mutate.

Meanwhile, Kuroi and Tenyou took several steps back from each other, preparing for another round. Kuroi quickly placed his left hand over the blade of his zanpakutou, and it began to glow menacingly. At the same time, Tenyou took his blade in a two handed grip, aiming it at Kuroi. They were both going to use Ressurection! What were their powers?

"Silence, Hora." Kuroi said. Very suddenly, his clothing was gone, replaced by a skin tight black suit made of a seemingly scaly armoring substance. It covered his whole body except his hands, feet, neck, and head. His eye whites turned a solid black and his iris turned gold as black gloves materialized over both of his hands and both of his feet, which also became clawed. Wrist slits formed on his wrist tops, and from them, emerged blades made of a black bone-like substance.

Tenyou grew enormous bat wings, and large spikes all across his arms and legs. His clothing was left normal, and his hair was down to his waist, spiked, gold. His eyes were a solid turquoise, and his skin was tanned. His teeth were all sharp and elongated, and his skin pristine, flawless. He was a mersmerizing, and powerful figure. The spiritual pressure in the area was quickly magnifying, for two Segundas, Sword and Shield, had both gone into their Ressurection, and were preparing to do battle.

[Deleted]

"Adios...." she said in a soft voice. Asuka was pretty happy. She now didn't feel like a total failure-of-an-arrancar. However, right now, she's a total sitting duck. She's fresh out of reiatsu! She can't use bala now. She suddenly hear a loud roaring noise. As she looked around her, she watched quite a few blue Gillian arise from the ground. She decided to not take any chances. She quickly dashed for one of the Gillian. She jumped up and stabbed it in the head with both of her kodachi, killing it. She then made a break for it. Where are they coming from? "Run away to fight another day I guess..." she mumbled.

[Zou ۞]

The one Gillian died, and all of the others quickly started chasing Asuka as she began to run away. Clearly they were furious with her for killing their comrade. 30 of them at least were moving after her, and some were stopping to charge and fire Cero straight at her. The Gillian were mindless foot soldiers, and so Asuka would have a hard time getting rid of them since their sole purpose was currently to kill her.

Kuroi burst forwards, slashing with his blades, both of them. Two of the spikes elongated on Tenyou's shoulders, and popped out. He took hold of them, and parried. Kuroi drew back, and his black blades retracted back into his wrist slits. Instead, steaming and humming blades of bright red Reiatsu ignited with a materializing hum, and Kuroi rushed forwards again. This time, he cut cleanly through Tenyou's held spikes like butter, and managed to stab towards him. Tenyou whirled out of the way just on time, and charged a Cero.

[Deleted]

"Wonderful..just WONDERFUL.." she exclaimed out loud as she was running. "If I turn back and face them, no doubt I'll get devoured. They totally outnumber me!!" she thought. Asuka pushed herself harder. "I need to hide out somewhere...for the time being..." she thought as she kept running. As she ran she could see many trees not too far away. She ran in that direction and hid behind one the trees with the larger trunks. She was breathing heavily and tried her best to not make a sound. "Please don't find me..." she thought.

[Zou ۞]

The Gillian moved past Asuka, being extremely stupid. They had no idea where she was any longer. As a result, she lost them. She could either return to the battle, or return to Las Noches. She could use either choice, but there was a chance that neither would go very well, so she could always try a third option, which of course she would have to make up herself.
