As Cierro sped around his opponent he noticed Rio reach out his arm out in front of him. It all appeared slow to the speedy espada, but he recognized what Rio was trying to do. It wouldn’t work however. Cierro ducked inside and slashed the espada’s midsection as he passed by the Quinta, ducking under his arm as he made a quick pass. The sword scraped into Rio’s side at impossible speeds as Cierro ran by underneath the other arrancar’s arm. The Octavo’s blade dug into the Quinta’s flesh and created a shallow gash. Rio attempted to grab on to his sword as it passed by him at impossible speed. However, the Octavo was too fast. He had cut shallow so that the resistance of his skin wouldn’t slow down the cut by too much. Before Rio could finish making a grab at the other espada’s blade Cierro was already ten yards away and staring back at him with a grin that Gin Ichimaru would be proud of.
Cierro was too fast for the Quinta and any unfocused shockwaves the espada used now would be useless because of the distance. “That blow was a lot better, Octava! Maybe that rank's not so bad on you after all!” said the fifth with a smile as he looked over at Cierro. The eighth ignored Rio’s remark. Of course he was fit to be Octavo. He was confident he was capable of taking out the Septima, but preferred his number stay the same. (He’d already gotten the tattoo and decorated his room with his number.) Cierro casually wiped some of the blood off of his blade with his finger. Without a word the Octavo sucked the red liquid off his thumb and swallowed it. Cierro smacked his lips as he focused on the taste. “You, sir...”” said the espada as his smile widened, “...need more salt...” Jokes were a great way to lighten the mood!
However, the reason for Cierro devouring Rio’s blood was far from being for simple comedic purposes. Cierro would see all of the espada’s history as if he experienced it himself. All of Rio’s abilities, everyone Rio knew, and even his darkest secrets would be laid clearly in front of the 8th to remember for all time. However, all of this information took awhile to process. It would take a few moments before the eighth would be able to comprehend all of the memories. “So...” said the Octavo crossing his arms with a smile, “How about them Yanks?” Whether Rio began to respond or not, the Octavo would interrupt with a loud, “YOU TAKE TOO LONG!!! I CUT YOU WITH MY SWISHY WOOSH-WOOSH BLADE!!!”
*BOOM*
Cierro took a leap forwards and suddenly disappeared in a sonido that propelled him across the hallway to the other side of Rio at a speed 130 times greater than his own. Even if Rio used sonido, Cierro was still ten times faster then him. There would be no possible way for the espada to react as the Octavo delivered a crippling strike to the espada’s arm. Cierro could have probably severed it completely, but that wasn’t the way he rolled. He bared no ill will against Rio and only left the Quinto with an inch gash in his right shoulder. When it came to speed, Cierro was leagues above his superiors. Essentially the Octavo was traveling at Mach 6 and not even sound would help Rio in this situation. He stood 30 yards down the hallway well before the espada would even realize he was cut. Such was the amazing speed that the eighth espada boasted.
