The Four Kings of Zanzabar [Official Thread]

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

<sub>The thought of having Vannan's arm around her waistline was soothing and funny at the same time. Since Quincy burn when coming into contact with Hollows the means of touching her is highly favorable if he were to touch the little to no clothing she had on her. Just like what the man had posed onto the small Arrancer, it was surely damn cold. Shiryou nearly forgot how cold it was with the little clothing she had. Most of her skin was exposed side from the "V" shape chest piece that concealed her cleavage, the ceramic fox mask, and the sailor skirt blowing along with the cold wind. A rattling of the chain that connected her to her sister clanked against the near frozen roof top.

It was then that Vannan was preparing his decisive attack along with the other Shinigami who gone ahead to attack the Adjuchas before them. A few moments ago the other Arrancar unleashed an oversized Bala, and one that would be considered abnormal for them to conjure up, even together. Iraishin recently arrived with their new "friend" but Shiryou wouldn't put it past them, especially being Shinigami if they were to attack the pair once their current situation had ended. Still, an enemy of their enemy was a friend at this point.

Shiryou could only watch the scene in front of her unfold at another attempt to bring harm to the Kangaroo Jacks, which was when Iraishin had the thought, "There are two of them and attacking one alone pushes us away. Could it be possible that we need to attack them together at the same time?" The very thought puzzled even Shiryou but with one glance down to their chain, she understood what she meant. The Kangaroos were probably the same as they were, or merely connected somehow by each other. If this Mobius fella was protecting them then the Irasihin would have felt something. Her other half spouted other ideas, "Possibly need to attack them at the same time or rather put them in close proximity to each other to negate that strange effect."

Shiryou didn't understand a single thing that her Iraishin was speaking about but she did manage to narrow down some of the difficult thoughts into a more simple one, "Like, pushing two buttons at the same time? Her twin gave her the scowling expression she always had, but Shiryou knew that she was on the money. Understanding what they she had to do and with out a second thought the Arrancar peeled away from the Quincy, leaving a smile behind, and darted over to the Adjuchas that lunged itself over to the other Arrancar. Knowing that she would not make it with her overall speed and to time herself perfectly with her twin, Shiryou pushed herself off with her physical strength to enter into a Sonido.</sub>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<sub>Her dimwitted other half figured what she must do without her having to say so. With the first Adjuchas attacking the male Arrancar and with a three individual attack from a Quincy, and the two Shinigami, Iraishin had to time her own attack with that of her sisters. With their spirit chain extending outward there would be no complication with movement for either of them besides with Shiryou's sudden lack of speed due to food poisoning. Iraishin was more closer to her target than Shiryou was to her's, so the Arrancar waited for that single moment to pass before entering into a Sonido herself to position her body to the right side of the second Kangaroo.

A pent up burst of her own reiatsu strength had positioned the twin across from Kagami as his own attack was about to make direct contact with the Adjuchas. If their own plan happened to go up in smoke then perhaps the Shinigami's attack would shed some light on how to pierce through the pairs odd ability. With both the Arrancars senses linked each of them summoned a red sphere in their hands. Although there were no facts to back up her theories, however, they would not discover anything if they did not take chances. With the Quincies arrows were about to meet their target, Iraishin gave her sister the go ahead, "Attack: Now.}

The pair facing off against their own respective Adjuchas, the glistening cry of the small red spheres in their hands condense before reaching their marks at the same time. When formed the Balas take on their regular appearances, however, with such little force there will be no significant damage if their attacks do make their mark. With such a thought in mind the twins pour more into their Balas to forcibly condense the red spheres into the size of a baseball. Slow, but more effective in power. To sacrifice the speed that made Balas dangerous was taken away but reinforced by the rapid movement of the Sonido. The Arrancars thrusted their Balas toward the face of their respective targets in hopes some light would be shed.</sub>

(OOC: I'm factoring in things for Rudy leaving. Sorry, I've been having to deal with some site stuff as well as posting. I'm going to go ahead and make hopefully kick this up a notch).

On Kagami's side, it was an overwhelming attack. It was originally Kagami who perhaps figured how to defeat these creatures. However, it wasn't only his efforts no...everyone was going all out. Asen was utilizing his kido differently this time. In addition, there was a mess of explosions that rang out all over from Vannan's bow. The shear power of this would cause the kangeroo on their side to launch into the air. The attacks were decisive and obviously caused him significant damage. It was indeed the way that these opponents were striking which had caused their attacks to bounce off. However, it seemed with some quick wit, they were able to figure this out. As it as, the strange creature flew into the air, now bloodied up. It went spiraling on to a rooftop where it lay bleeding.

Now to Allen's side. It was the punch that connected with hierro hardness. Allen's hand would be too hard for the creature to bare. The pain was great. It was then that the bala would ring out; also surprisingly from the correct sides of the two. They would hit square on to the target, sending him flying back. Their sonido combination had worked wonders. It seemed everyone was working as a team and finally getting things straight; it was excellent. The other kangaroo went flying as well, it spiraled in the air. Moments later, it came crashing down on a building. This one was severely less injured than the other one. He looked over to his brother, a shocked expression was present on his face. He turned back to Allen, beyond angry now. It moved its mouth to speak but then it seemed to just...stop. There was something about the atmosphere.

Overwhelming reiatsu began to fluctuate throughout the air. Everyone could feel the heaviness of what was going on. Through the misty shadows was a figure whom was rather overbearing. Only his silhouette could be seen. It was then that glowing red eyes opened as the wind began to calm. Slowly...he came into view. Standing nearly 20 feet in height, with silver armor which was untouched by the cold. His body was fully covered in this metallic armor. He had a royal blue cape that was behind him, fluttering in the wind. His entire suit looked as cold as the weather around him. His voice came low and deep as he spoke. "Worthless....slaves". His voice echoed throughout so everyone could hear. It was then that the kangaroo immediately in front of him slowly turned; fear present in his eyes. A moment later, there would be a hand that pushed through his chest cavity. Mobius had taken him on his left arm as a wrist band...the kangaroo began to glow.

A moment later, he disappeared. In a flash, he was standing over the second body, taking it in his right; wearing it as a wrist band. It too glowed. The two kangaroos were now frozen, being worn as ornaments but still glowing a strange blue color. Mobius looked on to the fighters whom seemed so intent on fighting him and ruining his plans. He didn't say much, he wasn't a man for much words. Through his cold armor he simply echoed his words in his husky voice. "Leave..."

[Douma]

Kagami was pleased to see his plan succeed. His jade blade impaled the Kangaroo straight through its arm, slicing through bone and muscle like they were made out of butter. However, he noticed the fluctuation of reiatsu from his allies and jumped to the side, narrowly dodging the blue ball of flames and quincy arrows that targeted the hollow. It was utterly destroyed and flew back from impact as Kagami watched, his mirror coat still present. Needless to say, the creature wouldn’t be a problem. And its twin was dealt with, too. Time to finish them and move on.

Kagami was preparing to crush the annoying Kangaroos simultaneously with his shikai when the deep, thundering voice caused the very ground to shake beneath them. Finally, Mobius was coming out to play. “Leave…” Kagami reacted to the command with mock confusion, tilting his head to the side in an exaggerated display of uncertainty. “You must be hollow under all that armor if you’re dumb enough to think that we’ll just walk away because you asked nicely.” The Vice Captain taunted the new foe with his devilishly handsome, arrogant smile.

Kagami rested the dull edge of his sword on his shoulder casually, another taunt. He wasn’t threatened at all by Mobius. The guy’s reiatsu wasn’t as potetent as that of Col Arana, despite being stronger than Hokori and Myza. Kagami, however, knew that numbers were on his side. He had an army, and he sure as hell was going to use it. “Hey, dipshit Quincy. Climb a good twenty feet toward the sky using air ground to get a better angle at the suit of armor. We’re gonna need you to be ranged support. Asen, go join him and make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid.” Kagami then looked to Hotaru. “You’re gonna strictly fight with a hit-and-run strategy. Don’t stay close enough for him to lay a finger on you. His reiatsu is pretty strong, too, so watched out for ranged spiritual attacks. Keep moving, I’ll be right there with you fighting in closer quarters.”

Kagami then had to command the Arrancar twins, though he really had no idea what they were useful for. Based on their display earlier, he could expect them to be close-quarter fighters as well. “You two, stick with the pretty girl with purple hair. Don’t stop moving, and don’t get hurt. Just do enough damage to distract the thing while I draw its attacks and keep it busy.” The mirror layer on Kagami’s would be enough defense if he for any reason had a lapse in the battle. The victory over his enemy was sitting on his shoulders.

“Come over here, Mobi Dick, so I can spear through that empty helmet.”

Reiatsu Remaining: 7800/8000 (-100 for maintaining Mirafureru)

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru watched everything going on, with the attacks on the kangaroos. Thankfully, whatever Kagami-senpai had planned seemed to work. With added power from Vannan and the arrancars, it seemed that they were able to hurt the Kangaroo pretty badly. She also saw that the other kangaroo got dealt with as well. She was just glad that they finally were able to deal with these two kangaroos. Hotaru was ready to go and finish the kangaroos off when she heard a voice.

There was a deep voice telling them to leave. She looked up and saw a huge monster of a man, completely in armor. She figured that this was Mobius, the one they were on a mission to deal with. She stood and tried to figure out the best way to deal with him. All she could feel using her energy sensory was just a huge amount of reiatsu and nothing else. It was one of the many drawbacks she had. But, she would work around it like she works around all of the others.

Kagami made her laugh with his comments, but he quickly moved onto a game plan. He told her to keep moving and make sure not to get hit. He would draw all the attacks and she was paired with the arrancars. It seemed like a good idea for her and she felt that it was finally time to use something that she had been holding back. "Very well, Kagami-senpai, it sounds like a good plan. Arrancar, please try to keep up. Burn, Rivu~aiasan!"

She let her shikai form, with her cannon on her left arm, fire sword in her right. She really hoped that this guy wouldn't hit her. She started to run towards the man, then ran off towards his right side, shooting liquid from her cannon the entire way. She would keep the stream going while she ran around him in a complete circle. If any would land on him, she would ignite it. She had a good idea that it wouldn't effect him, but it would at least distract him. She kept a distance of about twenty feet the entire time, not stopping.

[Deleted]

A small smirk formed on his face as he saw that his arrows actually did some damage to those damn kangaroos. He started to pull back on his bow to line up more arrows, however before he could even react he witnessed someone, or something stab into the body of the kangaroo, with his bare hand and kill it. The same armor clad being went over to the next one and did the same. It looked as if he was now wearing armbands made of dead kangaroo hollows. Was this thing responsible for what was going on in the town, if so Vannan wasn't about to charge in head first.

Vannan had already taken a step backwards when Kagami started to speak to the monster in blue clad armor. Kagami's words annoyed him a bit, Vannan had stated his name to Kagami, yet this guy resulted in calling him names, however his plan made some sense, from what he had seen he had the best long range attack out of the group, from the fight he had with the twins he knew that they had an interesting power if they fused, but would that be enough to help them stop this monster?

Kicking off of the ground he pushed himself up into the air,the moment he reached the top of his push off he used air ground to keep him from falling and kicked off again. He would keep doing this until he reached a height of twenty feet in the air. Giving himself plenty of range away from Mobias. Taking a deep breath in he smiles and pulls out his bow again. “I'll do what you say for now, but don't get in the way of my arrows, you might get more than what you asked for.” He had the same smirk on his face that he had when he saw the combination of attacks actually hurt the kangaroo hollows.

Without giving a second thought he pulled back on his bow and lined up five arrows, five normal ones. He had stopped using Letzt Stil, he didn't know anything about this hollow and his powers were better suited for one on one not a team effort, given that he could blind his allies with his power. Yet he wasn't going to just toss out weak arrows at Mobias. Each arrow was the strongest he could sum up at this current time. They all fired right at the hollow towards the joints of the armor, except for one that was aimed to pass by Kagami, not meant to hit him but meant as an insult and a warning to not insult him again. When the arrow did fly by him Vannan would speak again. “Sorry about that, guess I need to work on my aim.” If Kagami looked back at Vannan he would see that he had the same smirk on his face.

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

<sub>There was a sudden stiffness in the air as the two Kangaroos withdrew to the roof tops adjacent to the allied party. Even with no signs Shiryou knew something was coming. But even suspecting a new arrival, the pair were never prepared at what was coming for them. Thinking of such a presence was only proven correct as a tremendous force overcame the twins, weighing heavily on their small spirits and forcing them into the cold roof tops. As for the others, appeared as though they were unaffected by the pressure, continued forward with their planning. And just as quickly the pressure was released the towering figure had finally made its appearance before the group, their target.

This was Mobius, the one responsible for all of the mess they were going through. Not that she did not enjoy a snow day, but sicking a hoard of zombie like hunks of tasteless meat offered little entertainment, and did not leave a good taste in her mouth. Really, eewww. But it was not only that what left a distasteful aftermath in her mouth, but it the cruel means of how the two Adjuchas were disposed of. Without hesitation or remorse the giant slaughtered his own followers. Hollow on Hollow violence was not uncommon where they were from, however, at the hands of another with no respect to what they have offered showed the level of curiosity that Mobius had.

Picking on someone who was weaker and much smaller than he was a pathetic attempt to look strong. It was the same tactic that any bully would use against their victims. The poor Adjuchas. Such an uncanny display of ruthlessness could only inspire her hate and anger for such a being. Even with a powerful voice the being was seen as a obscene figure in her eyes. Regardless how much she was disgusted with violence, it did not erase the pleasure it would bring her to taste his flesh and power flowing down her throat. Her taste for bitter vengeance for her fellow Hollows was brought to surface with her meager reiatsu flaring from her body as the Shinigami posed a plan of attack for them.

An scheme for a hack and slash plan as they continuously run around the large bulk of armor to distract him seemed rather dull, especially when the other Shinigami decided to call upon her hidden power. Her own blade shined to provide a new form for her to engage the towering monster. Even the purple haired woman suggested that the twins follow as ordered. Heh, they were not Shinigami, even if they were temporary allies against a common foe, there was no way that they will follow such a order, but still, what Iraishin had thought would be best to follow the advice of others. And so they shall, and take the battle to the tyrant himself to provide the others a means to inflict pain on the monster, while at the same time, to offer a small portion of her own rage.

Looking up over her shoulder she could see Vannan taking his own position high up above them. A good distance for him to maintain the advantage that he possessed against close range combatants. She did not know what were the capabilities of the others, so she decided allow them the opportunity. Without even batting an eye Shiryou manages to mutter the words at Vannan, "Hope to see you soon Vannan." Saying such words before taking her sisters hand to enter into a free fall by walking over the ledge of the roof top with soft spoken words, "Bend all of reality..."</sub>[/b][/color]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<sub>Such thoughts that passed through the mind of her sister were true, for the first time in a long while. With their current strength, they will not be able to make a dent in the armor of Mobius. As individuals they would be worthless as the specks and grime of dirt covering their feet. Alone they were weak, but together they were more powerful. That is where their relied in. And a situation such as battling the mighty Mobius, there was not room for error or hesitation. No room for weakness or doubt. Iraishin knew what must be done.

The pair stood on the empty roof top with their own individual thoughts. Shiryou with her temper at the sight of their fallen brothers, and Iraishin analyzing the battle that was about to begin. Mobius' spirit was fierce, and unlike anything that was felt aside from the Espada of Las Noches. Yet, similar to their strength, the battle ahead was to be remarkable of itself, and with their victory, the two will be know for such an achievement. Not only for defeating Mobius, but to return with the prize that awaited them in the end. That was what they were after. The armor of Mobius. With the two Shinigami already proceeding forward to attack, along with Vannan's arrows of light to Mobius' joints, they too must be off to do what must be done.

Iraishin scanned Mobius' reiatsu to note that it was his spirit that was strong, and judging from his size that he must pack quite a punch. Nonetheless, his size should make him slow, at least that was the thought. And judging from the way that the two Kangaroos have not dissipated into dust, along with the eery glow about their corpses as his wrist bands, she will have to assume that their unknown power will work for their Master as well. Taking all of this into account, the two will play along for the time being until they can achieve their ultimate mission objective.

Shiryou had guided the two over the ledge of the roof to begin their assault, but it will not be as they were, but what they were to be. Her twin began their call and it will Iraishin who will finish it, ".... Dimenshon Kitsune." Pushing off the wall half way in their descent, the two were consumed by the combination of their own reiatsu to soar through the air in a abyss of purple aura shell.</sub>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<sub>The cool air would disperse away from the sudden increase of reiatsu as the sphere will swerve around the right side of the giant. Peeling away like petals of a lotus flower Shinzui's tails unraveled her true form to fly around Mobius' right side at a fair distance. Maybe her emergence would cause her to be noticed for a brief moment before returning to a larger threat, which would be the Shinigami who had conceived their little plan. The thought of being ignored was the same as not existing at all, and something that she was not goign to allow to happen. Mobius was going to acknowledge her existence.

If the titan's attention was still drawn to the head Shinigami, then Shinzui will lash at the back of Mobius' knees. A total of four tails lashed out in two pairs to deliver a powerful blow to them, applying her physical strength against the small openings of his armor. Her two sets of tails would land at the same exact time at both targets as another tail reached out to the building behind Mobius, prepared to pull Shinzui should the giant choose to swipe at her. Her four tails will return to her side after her assault. Regardless what he does, Shinzui forges two lance like weapons in the palms of both of her hands. "Seirei Herasu ( Diminish the Spirit)". Both lances that are forged by her own reiatsu, and from tearing portions of her dimension away.

Her newly formed lances were not meant to cause harm to her enemy, but to weaken. And from Mobius' own weight and the physical attacks down to the back of his knees, her follow up attack are done with both lances being thrown at the same location where her tails would have struck. If landed, they would cause a moment of fatigue for the giant. Knowing full well that his reiatsu was superior to her own will not sway the effect of her lances, and with his own weight his knees should give in and have him falling forward. She could hope that her little assault would succeed in toppling the mighty Mobius.</sub>

The imposing armored man stood with the two bloodied kangaroos around each of his wrists. They clung to life, hanging limp from the man's metallic arms. They were covered in frost, now light blue in color. Mobius looked with his strange colored eyes. He was like a giant that stood tall over all of them. His eyes fell to the one whom bore the Vice Captain badge. He was instructing the others to do something, what an interesting strategy. They seemed to be all ready to fight Mobius, which almost made him laugh. wind. His entire suit looked as cold as the weather around him. His voice came low and deep as he spoke. "Fools, all of you.". He said with a rather deep voice. He watched as the figures began to dance about.

First came the girl who circled him. His eyes narrowed, looking towards the woman. He knew everything about her release, looking deep into her soul. Right as she released, he knew exactly what to expect. He watched her rush forward and begin to shoot out fire. The man's left hand glowed. The kangaroo there began to twitch and glow a purple tint. The attacks Hotaru would make would simply swerve off or away from Mobius. Instead, they would launch all around the arena, the others having to watch over head in case. Next came the shots from Vannan. Mobius' right hand would glow this time, the kangaroo on that hand twitching. It would cause the arrows to go flying away; perhaps hitting Hotaru if she wasn't careful.

Mobius utilized his energy sensory to know when the two faccion had released. He could sense what their release did as well; sensing deep into the energy surge. It was only a quick step at his top speed to push to his right. Despite his size, the man was actually quite agile. The lances would just miss the back of the man's knees. Mobius turned as he finished his shuffle, his right hand opening to unleash a simple red fire ball that crashed down. It was impressive that this imposing man was still able to utilize shinigami arts.

After the attack he would turn to the Vice Captain. Things were obviously not going as well. Mobius utilized these kangaroos quite well. In addition, he seemed to possess a great deal of Reiatsu Strength. Coupled with the fact that he could sense so many things made him quite dangerous. The man let out some mist like breath. "I will turn you all frozen sculptures if you do not leave this area.". He spoke one last time. It seemed this would be Mobius' last threat to this foolish gang that wanted to take him out.

[Douma]

Kagami’s planned assault wasn’t going well, but that didn’t matter. He only hoped to test Mobius’s power. The man was going to be a significant challenge to the group considering the effect he has over the Japanese city. Everything had been frozen over courtesy of Mobius, and Kagami figured that someone with such an immense power was going to give them trouble. Therefore, Kagami was going to carefully analyze how Mobius retaliated to their initial attack and formulate a strategy from there. Right now, they were only poking the beast.

However, Kagami did have a certain Quincy pest in the group. The Vice Captain sensed the arrow launching toward him, but he knew that its trajectory was off and that Vannan had aimed the arrow to barely pass the Vice Captain. Kagami didn’t budge as the bolt sailed past him, but rather called to Vannan as he kept his eyes on Mobius. “Watch where you’re shooting. With that shitty accuracy of yours, I’d be more nervous if you were aiming at me than next to me.” Ah, Quincy pissed Kagami off. He was still expecting full payment for his suit.

The Lieutenant watched carefully as Mobius deflected both Vannan’s arrows and Hotaru’s attack. He leaped back several meters just to avoid getting sprayed by Hotaru’s liquid, but in his miniscule retreat, he kept his eyes on the fight as his mind calculated. So, Mobius was capable of using the Kangaroos’ power. Maybe he bestowed the shielding ability on them in the first place. Either way, Kagami now knew exactly how he wanted to fight this battle. They were going to have to rely on counter attacks, and before he could even organize anything, the Arrancar had taken the role of the bait. Kagami was going to be behind the fishing rod.

Mobius wasn’t too shabby on the physical side, for he managed to dodge the Arrancar rather easily. Then again, the Arrancar wasn’t very fast, and judging by how quickly Mobius moved, Kagami was definitely faster. It was easy for him to follow Mobius’s movements and even easier to react in time and save the Arrancar’s neck from the technique he felt Mobius charing. He positioned three mirrors strategically near Mobius. One was placed directly behind him. Two were pressed against each other, acting as a shield to protect the Arrancar from the suit of armor’s outstretched hand. It looked like he was going to launch a projectile, and Kagami was ready.

The reason for the double sheet of mirrors is simple. Kagami knew that Mobius might have the power to destroy the mirrors just based off the reiatsu output he had as well as the display of his power through the frozen city. Therefore, the blast of fire would break only one of the mirrors, the first one. Kagami would then activate another of his Zanpakuto techniques, Shard Shatter, which allowed the splinters of the mirror that was destroyed to spread out rapidly. From each of the thousands of shards, a jade blade would emerge and impale Mobius from all sides, even piercing through the gaps in his armor. Shard Shatter was perfect against armor and defenses such as Hierro.

However, the ball of fire would be able to break against Kagami’s second mirror as well and then damage the Arrancar. Therefore, he linked the second mirror to the mirror placed behind Mobius, allowing the Shakkaho to pass through the mirror like a portal and speed toward Mobius’s back. The man’s instinct was extremely slow, so he would have a difficult time reacting to this onslaught of attacks from Kagami. In addition, because the attacks would come immediately after Mobius had launched his own offensive maneuver, then the shield that had protected him might not be up. The battle could be over then and there.

“Call me Ahab.”

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru watched as she was still running in a circle, trying to get the big man's attention. What she assumed wouldn't work, in fact, didn't work. The man was so powerful, she figured that her reiatsu power wasn't going to be enough to bring down the man, or even scratch him. But, she kept to the plan and ran around the man. The only reason she wasn't getting dizzy is because she was focusing on the man himself. But, the next move he did was only a little surprising.

Mobius' left hand glowed and the dead kangaroo twitched. The whole twitching made her feel a little bad for the animal. But, there was another part of her that was glad that the stupid bastard kangaroo was dead, or at least partially dead. Well, maybe half dead. ANYWAY! She watched as her liquid started to get deflected from the man. Thankfully, since it wasn't aflame, no one had to worry about injury from it. She immediately stopped running, but kept her distance from the man. She didn't want to get close to this man at all. Not with the great strength he had.

When she stopped, she took a quick look around the battlefield to access what was going on. Well, it seemed that really no one was successful with their attacks. Her included. He was just deflecting everything and once she thought that, she watched as the arrows Vannan had shot out at him started to get deflected around the man and one was coming straight towards her. She quickly bent down on her knees to avoid the arrow. It just whizzed over her head instead.

It was then that she saw Kagami-senpai's mirrors. She knew that his mirrors had special properties. Heck, she had even seen them in action when he fought with her. It was for that reason that she started to run towards the mirror closest to her, which would be the one in front of Mobius. She started to create her attack while running, forming a cone of her liquid in front of her. She jumped up and yelled "Doragonburesu!" She then immediately Shunpo'ed out of the way, ending up twenty feet away from the mirror. Her goal was for the attack to get re-directed to the back mirror, pushing the attack forward faster and adding some strength to it.

[Asen Mahawa]

Asen was slightly panting after expending a good amount of Reishi like that. Thankfully though, his barrage of attacks along with the Quincy's attacks struck home. Seems that Asen's theory was right partially. Of course he never spoke to anyone because he didn't want to be discussing plans while the enemy is sitting right there listening to everything. As if these Hollows would just stand there while they bid their time anyways. In either case, that Hollow was pretty much done after sustaining that kind of damage which brings a slight smile to Asen's face. "Careful now, you can't fight like that forever you know!" Augatsol scolded Asen as he still floated on the air using the air ground to his advantage. "Does it matter? He at least made the right call." Nardras stood up for him, though all of this is going on mentally inside his head. Sure he doesn't have any type of Release yet, but he strangely communicates with his Zanpakutous like an everyday conversation without having to meditate. Suppose that's one of the perks that he possesses, either way though sometimes they can be... annoying at times.

Just when Asen thought that he would at least get some breather, he hears what he first thought to be a booming voice of something large. Not to mention he feels like the air just got heavier, as well being able to sense a more powerful enemy. His eyes grew alert and was focused upon the suit of armor that stood over them in the air with a pair of red eyes that glowed underneath the suit of armor. "So that's Mobius... Looks like he can easily be fried to me." Asen mainly spoke to himself as Kagami gave orders to him to pair up with the Quincy. He didn't have any objections on it, plus he needed to recover the Reishi that he lost from that barrage of attacks. Sure what he did certainly put a number on the kangaroo, but nothing is free nor does it lack any consequences. Plus this would be the perfect time to analyze this Mobius with his eyes and ability to sense Reiatsu.

Asen follows the Quincy only not as fast since he's doing his best to conserve his Reiatsu. He can only make an assault like before only once more, and he needs to make it count. Of course with the strength that this thing possess he's not all that sure if he can take it on. All Asen has are his Kido and from what Asen already seen out of this guy is that it does the same thing as the kangaroos. He also took note of how the frozen kangaroos twitch the moment Mobius' ornaments begin to glow and that's when... Asen soon came to a stop which is right on the edge of the area that Vanaan was on. It would certainly be wise not to use Kido on this thing just yet, not until Asen or somebody else can find a way to either destroy or remove those ornaments off of Mobius' wrists. Just to confirm something, Asen focuses on sensing Reiatsu concentrating on Mobius but more trying to find out if there's a link between Mobius to these frozen Hollows. The only thing he can hope for is that he's right, and he might be able to destroy Mobius' shield in another way.

<sub>Mobius was much quicker to reach than what she had anticipated. It would seem that he is capable of moving at a pace much faster than his own size reveals and Shinzui was going to pay the price for her insolence... Or rather not. Just as the titan side stepped her lances he began to conjure a large sphere of flaming reiatsu. A spell was it? She couldn't know precisely but based on his level of strength it should be a given. It was the fox that underestimated her prey, but not again. And it was all thanks to the Shinigami.

While in mid air the flaring light of reiatsu was about to launch toward her direction, two oddly shaped mirrors emerged from no where in front of her. Good timing to hopefully block the incoming blast but the Arrancar was not going to take chances relying on others to protect her. Which was the reason why she had her other tail that was wrapped about the frame work of the building behind the giant. With that tail and the indication of reiatsu signature flaring on her energy sensory, Shinzui was able to sense the incoming attack to pull herself away from the fireball and toward the building behind Mobius.

Her speed alone was laughable, but with being able to sense the attack coming and her level of instinct, it should not be difficult to avoid the attack. Although, the very thought crossed her own mind when considering how Mobius was able to avoid her lances. Surely was taxing to discover a means to side step that very issue. However, there was a means to go around the issue, which the Shinigami was already taking the initiative on as well. The Arrancar had to go all out and rip away the very thing that made this King of Frost strong.

After positioning herself behind Mobius, Shinzui would use the Shinigami's ploy to enact her own attack. Using her physical strength to push off from the building she will be propelled to pass through the space between Mobius' legs to position herself directly underneath him. Only relying on her strength rather than speed will be a more better means to travel due to her abilities in speed. Much quicker than running down the wall and on the ground, launching herself was more logical and the amount of force that was applied would ensure that her arrival would be much quicker than using her overall speed.

As she was passing by six of her tails extend outwardly to both of Mobius' knees. Keeping her own reiatsu dormant by limiting the usage of her abilities and more of applying her capabilities, Mobius would hopefully be caught off guard. Using her physical capabilities was planned to keep her own presence in the dark, but knowing how quickly Mobius was in both indicating reiatsu and moving around Shinzui could not make another mistake. Her own plan should work considering what the Shinigami was going to pull and from what she could sense. Three tails were whipped to the left leg like three hands scattered throughout the limb to ensure that if Mobius would leap to escape, then he will most likely collide with the Shinigami's technique along with Vannan and the other Shinigamis.

One tail will wrap around the knee cap while the other two the heel and shin. The other set would follow suite with the other leg, using six of her nine tails to bind the giants legs to the ground. If successful, then her six tails will attempt to crush the titan's legs with the physical strength she wielded. Considering the options that the man would have to take into mind; the shinigami's techniques that are appearing all around and from the purple haired woman, and with the Arrancar's own attempt to bound the being to the ground. But her own plan was not over yet.

Opening her mouth will a Bala be released from the quick charged of reiatsu building when her tails lash out to grab hold of Mobius. The shrieking ball of reiatsu fired targeted the beings face to blind him and to distract him from what she was doing. If the tails managed to keep the being glued to the ground then her two other free tails would tear into the gap in the armor of his knees to tear away the armor from his thighs and knees. Such cold armor will prove to be useful to me in the long run was the thought coursing through her mind with a smile.

As for the last tail, it would remain at the ready with her energy sensory to lash out should Mobius retaliate with a reiatsu or physical attack. "Your armor, it will be mine."

Remaining Reiatsu : 700/1800 : -50 Bala x1

(OOC: Sorry for the delay, mod things are going on peeps)

As the frost covered giant shot the sizzling ball of heat towards the arrancar, he would notice something out of the corner of his eye. The armor plated man looked up from his current attack, noticing his energy sensing abilities had picked upon this Vice Captain's abilities. However, it took him a moment to analyze everything deeply. The shining gold in his eyes grew wide as he rose up his arms quickly in an attempt to ward off the assault of shards. To do so, he had placed both of the two kangaroos in front of him. However, he had failed to fully notice Kagami's mirror. The man could only react to certain things as he was blasted in the back with his own attack; causing him to take a knee. He let out a grunt of pain as he was attacked. The shards began pelting them left and right, however, Mobius was still able to keep up the two creatures to take the majority of the damage.

The two kangaroos let out a screech which caused them to bleed profusely. A moment later, their heads would fall and the reiatsu around them would dissipate. "NO!" Mobius would call out, looking at the creatures. "What..have you done?". His deep voice reverberated as he looked up towards the Vice captain; the pain from his armor being rattled by his own attack. Before he knew it, his legs were being squeezed as he felt one of his plates being pulled from him. That foolish arrancar! Before he could react however, he felt a cone of fire blast him; igniting him on fire. In addition, the Bala would hit him as well. The combined attack caused him to stumble to his right. The force would allow Shinzui to the shin guard plate of armor from the man; however still unable to bind or crush his legs.

He stopped himself from crashing down by shouting out. "Freeze-Fujihyori!". A rather large sword of ice formed along the man's right hand. With a a crash, it stabbed into the ground. Mobius' eyes flared as he looked towards the others. Under his mask, his jaw clenched. It was strange, the call was like a Zanpakuto, but how did he still possess one? In any case, the large man was still on one knee and on fire. He pulled the Zanpakuto from the ice and then held it out horizontally in front of him.

"Ban-Kai..." Suddenly, the snow from all around them began to become a small blue orb. These orbs began to surround the entire ground. The area around 50 meters would become a semi sphere of glowing white. The others would hear a low laughter as everything around them would seem nothing but white. A moment later, the faccion would feel lighter as Mobius had vanished while still in the white. The others would begin to feel much colder...much much colder. The temperature in the area would drop significantly. They would hear a low voice speak throughout the entire area. "What will you do now?"

SPOILER: Click to show

Bankai: Mobias creates a white semi sphere of 50 meters. This sphere is very cold in terms of temperatures and fighting for 7 posts within the sphere will make opponents with less offensive stat become completely immobile. Posts of combat reduce the more time an opponent is outside of the sphere. Anyone with less than 200 senses or 300 energy senses cannot see while within the sphere; only seeing white. Their ears will also hear an annoying noise of a snow storm. For each point into cold tolerance or strength of will, will increase the duration they can say for 2 posts without suffering effect. As time wears on however, an opponent will feel the full effect of everything

[Douma]

(( I forgot to do write this in my last post but when Mobius broke the mirror, he activated Kagami’s Shikai tech 7 Years of Bad Luck. The first effect puts him on a battle post timer. That's my bad. ))

Kagami was pleased with the result of the attack, and he was glad that no one had suffered any injuries from the slightly reckless nature of the assault. After all, Kagami was there to protect the unfamiliar squadron, and he would continue to do his best to lead. After all, war strategy was his forte. He was fit to command all of Seireitei’s forces if the need be, and would treat this make-shift team with the same cautious military attitude. This Mobius character was no push over, and Kagami was sure of that upon hearing the man’s thunderous voice shape one word. “Bankai.”

Kagami felt the cold hit him like a wave, and just before the winds of the storm blocked out all sound, he would yell to his allies, “Retreat!” The Vice Captain feared Mobius’s bankai, for he knew nothing about it. He was fighting against a mysterious power, so it would be best to analyze it. Therefore, he would use Shunpo to escape the bankai’s range, ending the stepping technique about fifteen meters from the range of the snow storm, since there was already a significant gap of space between himself and Mobius so the distance would be easily covered with one stepping technique.

Kagami and his group did have one advantage going for them: time. Upon shattering his mirror, Kagami’s unique ability 7 Years of Bad Luck would begin to take effect. After a short period of time, as long as they could keep Mobius moving, the armored man would be worn down and far weaker than previously. However, what was most important was that Mobius was attacked from a distance, outside of the range of his bankai. “Kido specialists, Cero or Bala users, and Quincy, I need you to bombard Mobius with everything you’ve got for a little while. Keep firing and don’t stop. Let me know if you’re running low on reiatsu and I’ll replenish it. Scatter your attacks and use techniques with a wide blast range so you have a better chance of landing a hit in that blizzard. Maybe it moves with Mobius, so shoot for the middle. Use techniques that won’t get eaten up by the snow. Physical fighters, stay put for now.”

Reiatsu Remaining: 7650/8000 (-100 for 7 Years of Bad Luck, -50 for Shunpo)

Freeze Post Count: 1/7

1. The opponent is now subject to a stamina count of 4 combat posts. After the four combat posts, his/her highest stat will be cut by 50%. If the opponent has more than one stat tied as their highest, than the priorities that will be decreased in order will be Reiatsu Strength, Speed, Strength, Spiritual Pressure (remaining reiatsu will be halved as well), Senses, Instinct, Energy Sensory, Instinct.

Mobius’s Combat Post Count: 1/5

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru watched all the attacks hit the big man. She was honestly surprised that all of the attacks had worked. It seemed with his attention diverted by Kagami's first attack with the shards, it left him open to all the other attacks. She was glad that it was working, but the bad thing was that after all of the attacks hit him, it sounded like he called out the shikai for his zanpaktou. But, she hadn't even seen a sword on him until he said the words. When he did, an ice sword appeared.

The only really good thing that happened from all of those attacks was that the kangaroos died. When she saw that, she did a happy dance on the inside. But, when he released, it made her more on edge. This man was massive. She saw his zanpaktou and it was the same size as him, if not bigger. She then started to think that maybe all of this snow was just from his shikai state. If it was, that was not a good sign for them. It meant that if he had bankai and used it, they would definitely be in some deep crap.

Of course, when she thought about that, she heard the man say the word she didn't want him to say, Bankai. When he said that word, she immediately started to Shunpo away when Kagami yelled at them to retreat. She didn't know if Vannan or the Arrancar knew what bankai was, but she was pretty sure that her, Asen and Kagami weren't stupid enough to stay around to find out what his bankai could do. She watched as Kagami Shunpoed away at the same time that she did.

She was able to reach Kagami's position on the rooftop. But, she was farther away than he was, so she used two shunpo steps to get there. She knew it would be worth it to get away from that bankai. Seeing it from far away, she could tell that it would be pretty horrible to get stuck in that place. Thankfully, she was bright enough to get away quickly. She heard Kagami tell those that could to shoot Kido at him while the fighters stood down. So, she stood, watched and waited. She hoped that this fight would be over soon. She was starting to hate the cold.

Remaining Reiatsu: 800/1270 -100 for Shunpo x2 Shikai 3/8
