[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Hmph. The Escudo? Who were they? Some useless has-beens, is what they were. They were defeated before Rio had become an Espada, and so he really could care less. But, it was a chance to fight. And hell. Rio was gonna go and fight! It was what he lived for afterall. One more way to kill the monotony that filled his life. Rio was almost always perpetually bored and just wanted to kill time. And his favorite method of doing so. Fighting and killing.

So where was that Escudo? Rio didn't have great energy sensory, but he could feel an intense power. He grinned broadly. His black scarf fluttered in the breeze, as he moved through the Fake Karakura town. He could see a large football field up ahead and began to walk into it. It seemed to be dry, so there wasn't any mud. Just hard dry ground. Excellent. His shockwaves wouldn't be nearly as notable this way, which would be a huge advantage. Rio looked around. The intensity of the power was strong here. He was in the right area.

Rio grinned and yelled out. "Well. Don't keep me waiting Escudo!" He roared into the air. He stepped out into the center of the field. At that instant he could feel additional reiatsu's. Well. Things seem to be heating up! Rio thought with a grin. He certainly wouldn't want to miss out on fun like THAT. He turned in the direction. Well. If the Escudo didn't show up soon, he'd have to go and join in on that fight instead. Seemed like a lot more fun!

Ne~ What were they thinking?! Sending an empress like her self off into a fake town! Hmph! Was this some kind of joke. A sick joke?! Rin growled as she made her way throughout Fake Karakura. Ugh. This was so frustrating. The empress was annoyed. Tremendously. Why couldn't she get a mission where she was sent off to a royal palace?! She would have loved that. Alot. After all, she is an empress. It's only natural that she'd want to be there, ne~? Here..She was going to fight some sort of Arrancar. Someone powerful was within the vicinity. She could feel it. She had pretty good energy sensory and she followed her instinct. Striking orange eyes scanned the area until she came across a football field. "...Ne~?" she said aloud.

She could see an arrancar on the football field. Was that him? Was that her opponent? Hmph. She wouldn't attack so mindlessly first. Not like a few others have in the past. Oh no. Never. Yes, Rin still had a grudge about that mission. The thought of Sasori's foolish smirking face made her angry. Red font for emphasis...again! "Well. Don't keep me waiting Escudo!" Ne~? Wasn't he fighting her? Unless...he's not her opponent. "Escudo...is there supposed to be more of you here?" she asked as she approached him. Rin would then place a hand on her zanpakuto. Wait..someone else was here. Someone much more powerful. Rin scanned the area. She made a point to keep an eye on Rio as well...but it was clear someone else was here too. Someone that was going to give them hell.

Very well, if someone wants a royal beat down, she'd be more than happy to give it to them~

[Ranmyaku Youmei]

The immense battle was nearing closure and Ranmyaku Youmei returned from soul society to the battlefield. He had been one of the first warriors in the fighting and had destroyed a massive hollow early on. After returning to soul society to have his wounds healed and his energy restored by squad 4 he stepped out once more into the fake Karakura Town, 100% ready to fight again. The captain of squad 8 looked over the cityscape noticing the lieutenant of squad 7 flying towards a large stadium.

Ranmyaku instantly caught sight of an arrancar as the lieutenant landed. Was this one of the powerful Escudo operating under Sasori’s command? The lizard landed behind Rin Minamimoto with an immense smash and created a crater in the process. “Escudo... is there suppose to be more of you here?” she said as she approached him. Her hand was on her sword as if she was preparing for an attack. Was this their Escudo opponent? Ranmyaku couldn’t tell. It was incredibly difficult for him to sense a fourth warrior as multiple other allies and enemies riddled the fake Karakura Town. He trusted Rin and, like her, placed his scaly hand on his zanpakutou’s hilt. If she wasn’t sure this arrancar was their opponent then he wasn’t sure either.

“What do you sense, Minamimoto-san?” he asked in a deep, raspy voice. His eyes darted around the football field. If it came down to it the captain was sure he could take Rio. Rin being there only ensured his victory. Was Rio their opponent? Or was there something much more sinister on its way? Ranmyaku could only wait for the lieutenant to come to a conclusion.

[Zou ۞]

A power aura crashed down on everyone for just a mere instant, making them feel a huge surge of power. It was as if the world itself collapsed inwards on itself, and then onto them. A booming echo could be heard, and though at first the word was not discernible, gradually it began to become more and more discernible, for it echoed in rebounds throughout their skulls, causing headaches and pain as this happened. It was a gigantic roaring sensation that shook everything, even the newly formed mountains within the False Karakura Town. Everything echoed here now, and not the least of the echos was the sound that came out. It was a huge, booming, and screaming voice crying out something at the top of its lungs, a voice filled with absolute joy for what it was screaming. Oh, no. With just the voice, the person had that kind of strength. This was an Escudo for certain.

"FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

From out of nowhere, a huge bulky figure materialized. Oh, freaking crap. He had giant shoulders! He was thin, BUT HE STILL HAD GIANT SHOULDERS! His teeth were all vicious fangs, and he had long, yellow hair, spiked and shooting upwards unrealistically. A demonic grin was visible on his face. The mask remnant on his face was part of a football helmet, and it was at his chin in white. His eyes were a demonic, glowing red. He wasn't going to be fun to deal with. On top of that, his Zanpakuto was extremely unique. He was holding it right there. It wasn't any ordinary blade. It was a metal football. And it had blades on it. Very sharp looking blades were on it. Very jagged blades were on it. It wouldn't just slice. It would tear. And it would hurt like hell. He held it in such a way that it wouldn't actually hurt him to hold it.

He had some pretty buff muscles. "I'm Yamato." he said. "AND WE'RE GONNA PLAY SOME FOOTBALL!!!!! FOOTBAAAAALLLLL!!!!!" He retracted his right arm, and then hurled the football. It blasted towards Rin first, the Vice Captain. For whatever reason. It was fast! The football was moving at such massive speeds it was unbelievable. It was spinning, and gathering so much speed and power that it looked like it might be catching flames. What the hell kind of throwing power was that?! Who could throw at that level!? That kind of strength seemed impossible, and yet here it was. This guy really was hurling with everything he had, and it was working pretty damn well. The football flew at Rin, and it was almost certain to do massive damage if it hit her. Could Ranmyaku or Rio help out?!

Meanwhile. . .

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA! GREAT! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING ALL THESE YEARS?! FUCKING PERFECT!" Kenpachi. Kenpachi Shousen! The former Squad 11 Captain, who disappeared so many years ago. He was at last here, he'd returned. He looked no different, save for a new X shaped scar across his face. He was huge, completely muscular, and he was wearing a long black coat and pants with no shirt beneath the unzipped coat. He wore boots too. His zanpakuto, still the same guardless looking blade, which still looked rusted and worn, could not seem sharper than ever. The huge berserker hollow, easily ten times the size of a Gillian, was roaring as it punched down at random people. Kenpachi Shousen's eyes lit up, golden reiatsu blazing around him. A single slash, a blood sprayed out of an enormous wound on the hollow. Things were going to get fun.

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

What the..... shinigami!? Oh, what the fuck... Rio grit his teeth at them, his eyes turning into slits from restrained fury. "Kuh... you shinigami are lucky today. Any other day I'd have ripped both your heads offa your shoulders. As it is, I'm not supposed to be assisting you bastards today." He muttered, with a tone clearly filled with regret and anger at the thought. Fuckin' hell Kouhai.... everything you do will only make me savor your defeat that much more... He thought furiously.

But then the Escudo showed up, and Rio changed his tune pretty fast. "Yo." He stated to the arrancar who seemed very enthusiastic. Good. May as well die happy, right? He pulled back his arm to launch the football. And then it launched. Holy shit! That was FAST! That meant this guy had hellish physical strength. Maybe even superior to his.... nah. That couldn't be! Rio was the strongest out of all the Espada. Sure, Kuroi or Adalo could kick his ass, but not one member of the Espada could even touch Rio's physical strength. There was no way this guy could be stronger than he was!

His senses and his instincts however, allowed him to keep track of the ball as it arced through the air. It was targeting one of the shinigami! Ugh.... Rio SHOULD just let it hit her. Let her die! Die! Die! Die! Die! ....But he wouldn't. Rio did follow orders he was given. The shinigami were his allies for this battle. This time. And he'd show them how useless they were, by showing them the power of an Espada!

Rio unleashed an unfocused shockwave from his body as the football began to near him. Due to his positioning, the football would have to pass by him to reach Rin. And Rio was positioned right to do so. His unfocused shockwave would impact the football as it passed him. Now, thrown by a guy with strength like that, it normally wouldn't work. If it was hitting dead on. But it wasn't. The shockwave was impacting the object from the side. The result would be that the football would be smashed off course, and likely miss the lieutenant.

"Hm. Throwing your weapon away. You're an interesting one." Rio remarked, a cocky grin etched on his face.

[Zou ۞]

OOC: Post skipped. Combo this.

[Deleted]

“What do you sense, Minamimoto-san?” She could sense it. Something powerful. "It's here...Escape, Chimeiyoki!" she said with narrowed eyes. Rin released. With a presence that powerful, there was no way in hell she'd get away with just her nodachi. You'd be a fool to not release. Rin decided to go for her usual laser arm canon. She turned in Yamato's direction. Football. Pah! Such a barbaric sport. Not meant for empresses such as herself in the slightest. Come to think of it, Rin wasn't sporty in the slightest. She was lazy and liked to be spoiled...but never sporty. Oh goodness no! Why did they have to play such a barbaric sport?! Rin didn't like this! Not one bit! How inconsiderate! Not thinking of the lady in the slightest!

You know what happens now. Rin was pissed off. How do you not think of the girls?! What's this guy's problem!? Hmph! She was an EMPRESS. You always think of the empress. If you're close enough to her, you can even hear her growling. Kind of like a lion does. She glared daggers at him as she saw him pull his arm back. She looked at his hand. Of COURSE it's a football with blades on it. Ugh...Honestly! Rin's original plan was to bat it back but once she saw the speed it was traveling at, she could honestly say that she chickened out and decided to dodge. That thing was fast. She shunpo'd far off to the side. She then noticed something. Shockwaves. Coming from the other arrancar. She could see the shockwaves. She had the senses for it. Clearly, those two weren't on the same side. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, ne~?"

If Rio's shockwaves worked, then she'd realize that it was her chance to attack. What if that thing explodes or has some projectile in it? She wasn't sure. Of course Yamato would know that he'd leave himself open if he threw his weapon. Something had to make up for it, ne~? She wasn't sure what, but she was going to attack Yamato. Once she noticed that it flew of course, Rin aimed her laser at Yamato. Her laser was kind of like a cero. Shinigamified of course.

Rin's Remaining Reiatsu: 2325/2675

[Zou ۞]

Yamato yanked on his hand, and that was when it became visible. Something that had not been there before. It was a deathly long chain, extending hundreds of yards. It was probably much larger even than an actual football field. That chain was how he did it. He yanked it, and the football flew back, moving with massive speed because of his strength. It passed in front of the laser on its way back to Yamato, the laser striking the football. Unfortunately, the laser could not alter the return path of the football, there was too much strength involved. But that was where it got bad, as well.

The laser was reflected by the football. It had enough torque going for it to actually reflect that attack. The laser shot straight back at Rin, directly into where she'd fired it. This essentially meant that once it got back, and it would do this at the same speed at which it was fired, her weapon would explode from this, damaging her. Yamato caught the football after that, spinning around to gather even more momentum, using the power from the last throw. He threw it again, this time straight at Rio. It was moving twice as fast as before! The power behind that football was devastating. There was no possible way that Yamato could be fucking around with them here. Also, they should keep something in mind.

Yamato wasn't slow or dull. His instincts and senses were rather average, and his movement speed was slightly above average. Everyone present might be faster, but he wasn't by any stretch of the imagination slow. He was merely slower than them. That football...it was fast. If it hit Rio, it would definitely blast through him. It would probably leave a huge gaping hole in him, all torn and bloody and opened. He'd be cut too, especially on the internals. The blades were that level of sharpness. It was the power behind the throw that would make it possible to get past hierro. Yamato's physical strength got to that kind of level.

[Ranmyaku Youmei]

Ranmyaku observed the newcomer but kept his eyes wary of Rio too. Arrancar and Shinigami had always been on differing terms and Ranmyaku wasn’t about to let a few of them dupe him and cause the lieutenant to die. “Try not to show all your techniques... Don’t forget about the other arrancar...” he whispered to Rin just as she released. He was going to try to hold back as much as possible during this fight and observe Rio as much as he could, for after this fight they were enemies again and any information on him would be useful. The lizard’s gaze affixed itself on the Escudo as it threw it’s football-like weapon at the lieutenant. The fight had begun and this arrancar looked to be insanely powerful.

The lizard didn’t know much about football other then it was a sport played in the human world. Apparently it involved a ball shaped like the one that was thrown at Rin. The captain observed as the lieutenant flash stepped out of the way and watched as Rio seemed to throw the weapon out of it’s path by sending out some sort of shockwave. Regardless of what happened, the vice-captain was safe and Ranmyaku was free to worry about ending this fight rather then protecting Rin. The captain didn’t draw his sword. He was incredibly powerful without it and most likely just as deadly. The lizard dropped to all fours and watched as a laser shot from behind him at Yamato.

This would be the perfect opportunity for Ranmyaku to take advantage of Rin’s attack to make his own. It was at this moment that Ranmyaku charged like an animal on all fours. He built up amazing speed for his size and began crossing the distance. in an instant the arrancar pulled back on the chain linking him with his football-like weapon. The rounded object changed direction in mid-air and began flying back towards it’s master, blocking Rin’s laser on the way. The captain anticipated the weapon’s return to its master as soon as he saw Yamato tug on the chain and had luckily ducked just in time for the football-like weapon to pass over him.

“Well I’ll be damned...” he said as his tongue escaped from his lips in a lizardly fashion, “You’re pretty strong huh?” The captain stood up. He was now around 20 yards from the arrancar since his charge had been interrupted by the football’s return. The captain unsheathed his blade and began chanting, “Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six...” He was setting up a kidou in hopes of creating an opening for his allies.

[Zou ۞]

OOC: Seems like a combo post. You guys can do that, then. Skip my post right now. Rin's in danger anyway.

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Rio wasn't about to save Rin twice in one go. Deliberately anyways. As soon as he deflected the football, he began charging a Cero. Rio was very fond of Cero. While he appreciated the speed and lack of charging time in Bala, he much preferred the raw power, range and size of Ceros. He saw the fukutaichou begin to move, and release her zanpakuto, firing some kind of laser attack. At the same time, Rio heard the lizard man chanting a kido spell. That was his opportunity.

Rio wasn't a team player. That didn't mean he didn't know an opening when he saw one. Nor did it mean he didn't understand the purpose of a coordinated attack. As soon as Yamato revealed his chain, Rio launched a Sonido attempt, launching himself off to the right of the Escudo, about five meters away and slightly behind him, and launched his Cero at the Escudo. The intent of this was multi-fold. First of all, the Escudo's attention was likely both on the Vice Captain who had shot the laser at him, as well as the Lizard who was chanting a kido. The divided attention meant it would be harder to focus entirely on Rio, causing the possibility of missing the Quinta's attack.

But there were other factors. Namely the fact that even assuming the Escudo took note of Rio and managed to avoid the Cero, he would likely open himself right up to the Lizard man's kido spell, or another attack from the Vice Captain. Inevitably, dodging one attack, meant removing one's focus from another. Rio had enough respect for the Escudo to acknowledge this probably wouldn't defeat him. But if he allowed him to be hit by this Cero, it would still cause considerable injury, and dodging it would certainly put him on the defensive. This attack would also make his attempted throw at Rio very difficult, as Rio would have fired his Cero prior to the Escudo catching the ball.

Reiatsu: 2700 (-100 for Sonido, -200 for the Cero)

[Zou ۞]

"You sure...you want to do this?" Yamato muttered as his football completed its path. On the way, it had reflected Rin's laser straight back at her, and nobody had defended her from that. She wasn't particularly fast compared to most other spiritual beings. Neither was Yamato, however the football had been the fast mover. With his physical strength, it had been easy. Rin herself was probably slower than her laser. If someone like her could dodge it, it probably wasn't a very effective attack to begin with, and that was something that wouldn't have gotten her the Vice Captain position. However, more importantly, there were other attacks coming in.

First of all, Ranmyaku was charging a Kido, but this had yet to complete. It was however, that Yamato got his football back just then. He had momentum from it, he was still able to throw it. Since Ranmyaku had to get the words out, and he'd paused and said something as the football moved past him, he'd started chanting as soon as Yamato got the football back. This meant that Yamato was still able to move to throw. The kido would not be ready to immobilize him before then. He kept his eye on Rio, who seemed like the strongest. As soon as Rio moved, Yamato watched out, twirling his body to keep the added power. That was when Rio formed and shot. That was also when Yamato hurled the football.

It blasted towards Yamato with an insane speed, probably quite beyond his own since the strength that powered it was massive. It powered through the Cero, carving a path in the middle of it. The Cero itself kept going with the football inside of it, heading in the opposing direction. The Cero hit Yamato dead on, for he was not a man that defended himself very well or very often. Burns formed across his body, but he was busy throwing the football, which was moving to Rio. Rio shouldn't be done with his Cero and retracting from it and whatnot by the time the football reached. This one should land a good hit on his chest. It would pound him, leaving a huge bruise and blasting blood from his mouth. In addition to this, if it hit, it would cut into his skin, and then tear some off when Yamato yanked the chain to pull it back.

Just as Rio was landing a hit, so too was Yamato. A hit for a hit, an eye for an eye. Though, in this case, Yamato hitting Rio also left him open for a combination attack from Rin and Ranmyaku. By that time, though Rio would be hit, Rin would be attacking. By the time Yamato attempted to defend against Rin, Ranmyaku would be casting his Bakudo. Essentially, this meant that a good combination and opening opportunity had been set up for these guys. Rin wouldn't be able to act at any time before this though for one reason. That laser. Not only did she have to either defend or get hit, but both ways were equal sappers of time. At the very least, Yamato wasn't an easy opponent, even if it was 3 on 1. One Vice Captain, one Espada, and one Captain.

[Deleted]

[ooc: Kid gave me the permission to have Ranmyaku cast his bakudo in my post]

“Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six...”

Rin was angry but by no means was she stupid. She had instinct and senses. The second she saw Yamato yank back, she looked at the football. That was how did it. But there had to be more to it than just a simple chain. Rin eyed Yamato carefully and then she'd see that he reflected her laser. Frustrating, ne~? Wait, why not shoot another? She didn't waste a second. Rin fired off another laser back at her own. As this was going on, Ranmyaku's kido would be done and those infamous six beams of light would slam into Yamato's midsection and keep him in place. Yamato at this point should be throwing his football at Rio. and he shouldn't be able to move because of the Kido.

As far as Rin's defense goes...the lasers would hit each other dead on. She was still in the same position and Yamato hadn't moved so both lasers had to hit each other, possibly causing an explosion and leaving her safe. She wasted some time, but she had to try something! That kido kept him in place! Once she finished firing her laser back at Yamato, she started to take slow steps off to the side, as she changed her weapon once again. She kept moving so that if he was going to attack her next, she would be ready to dodge. You know what she's going to make! Rocket launcher! One that shot two guided missiles. She'd aim and shoot that at Yamato. The special thing about these missiles would be that they'd detonate mid-air. Meaning that once they were close enough to their target, they'd explode and splash more burns on Yamato. Nothing fatal, but it should be something that hampered his movement. No reflecting this time.

Rin's Remaining Reiatsu: 2325/2675
Shikai: 2/10

[Zou ۞]

Yamato cried out as the burns moved across his body, pain getting to him into his thick skull. Football or not, his intelligence probably wasn't the highest. However, with pure physical strength like his, where the strength was so massive that it outweighed all his other stats and made them this miniscule, he was able to do amazing things. In a single movement, Yamato broke free of Rikujokoro, blasting it apart and shattering it by erupting free, his arms smashing it outwards. Free again, the football yanking back into his hands after Rio's ordeal with it, Yamato stared around everywhere, his eyes narrowing. Oh. He was really really pissed.

Turning then to Rin, he hurled the football. It was fast. Faster than she was. He'd done this move already before. It was connected to the chain, and it was hurled at her with massive strength. Yes, there would be considerable damage if it hit her.
