The Four Kings of Zanzabar [Official Thread]

[Asen Mahawa]

Asen simply watched the events unfold before his eyes as he didn't need to pull anything devastating since all the others were already hammering Mobius down very quickly it seemed. Just as Asen had suspected, those Hollows that Mobius had taken as bracelets were the source of how he can deflect attacks like that. 'Well this is certainly interesting. A being that was once a Shinigami using Hollows as a shield? Not to mention unwillingly cooperating with him? Sounds rather bold in my opinion.' Nardras silky smooth voice that brings chills down his spine as she was watching as well through his eyes. 'Seriously? Can we kill it then? I could use the exercise anyways.' That was Augatsol who was a bit excited and was kind of pacing back and forth in his mind filled with anxiety.

Asen couldn't help but smirk as he watched what appears to be the Hollows slouching and Asen couldn't pick up on their Reiatsu anymore. So least to say that they're now dead and bloodied now. 'I think you might be a little late on that one Augatsol. Seems like they lasted a little less time than we thought.' That's when Mobius, who seemed angered by the fact that his subordinates were now dead, calls upon a large ice sword that was certainly bigger than Asen could ever hope to be. Now that he thought about it, Asen had never seen Mobius with a sword until just recently. So this must mean that Mobius was under Shikai this entire time.

'Think he's mad enough?' Nardras asked both Asen and Augatsol as he was just about to answer that. Though he was interrupted when Mobius muttered one word that Asen cringed upon hearing just the first part of the word. He went ahead and shunpoed away to land on a building with his feet planted on the ledge of the roof as he was approximately 75 feet away from Mobius as he watched what happens next. 'Nah, I don't think he's mad enough yet.' He joked with his Zanpakutou Spirits as he casually rests his hands on the pommels of both of his Zanpakutous that was still sheathed and secured underneath his sash. Never once has he drawn his blades even when he was in a bind during the course of this mission.

Seeing the snow storm that suddenly swallowed up the area before him, he was glad he made the right call. When it comes to someone using Bankai no one can be too careful at all. Fortunately, there's always a time limit on how long it can last before one has to call upon it again. The only current problem is how much damage one can do during that time as it can last a while. At this point Asen pretty much has no chance on getting close without getting caught up in that storm. One of the main things that's bugging the living hell out of Asen is that storm is throwing his ability to sense energy off the charts. It's nothing he can't handle, but he can't get a specific lock in upon Mobius's real body.

That's when he sensed Kagami's signature showing up near where Asen is located at as well as Hotaru who is further back from them. Can't say that he blames her, as one can't be too careful with this situation. 'Pardon for my intrusion, but it seems to me that you're in a rather tight bind. Though even with all of that snow and ice, that massive suit of armor is going to be one pain in the ass soon.' Asen snickered upon Nardras's what he first thought was just her saying her opinion but it was actually a lecture. 'I suppose it's about that time, I'm going to tell how to call upon me and use my power to your advantage.' She bluntly said as she was being serious now and Augatsol was quiet and was actually watching how this would turn out. Asen was a little shocked, though he now gets what Nardras meant by that.

That's when Kagami instructed them to bring down hell upon them and use wide ranged attacks so that they could hit Mobius a lot easier basically. Also he paid attention when Kagami added the fact that when one of them are low on Reiatsu he can replenish them. That's also when Asen finally spoke up to Kagami. "Do you think you can go ahead and replenish mine? I... have a hunch on something that I think can work." Asen was looking at Kagami with his calm yet analyzing crimson red eyes that slightly glows and Asen draws out one of his Zanpakutous from her sheath as he was talking. 'Hey! Do me too!' Augatsol stated as Nardras was explaining to Asen on what it was that all three of them has an idea that might work. Asen's eye twitched as his face was trying to hide the grin on his face but winds up failing at that as a low chuckle escapes from his lips and he draws out Augatsol from her sheath as well wielding both Zanpakutous in his hands.

Clasped in his right hand was Augatsol, which looks like a regular katana except the handguard was dark red and radiates a more sinister feeling than Nardras does. Augatsol's blade is like a crimson red almost like it's already coated in blood except for the keen edge which reflects a silvery hue. Nardras, the blade is mostly silver with a hint of gold and pale blue as it reflects the pale blue surroundings. It's like Asen is wielding Yin & Yang, with Nardras being the Yin and Augatsol being the Yang. As he waits for Kagami's answer, both spirits were informing their call out phrases and what techniques he should use with them. Normally it would be too much information all at once, fortunately Asen just happens to be a natural on memorizing things and learning from them.

Vannan heard words form this suited armor that he thought he never would of. Bankai, those words were reserved for only the strongest of shingami's and that meant that Mobias was a shingami. Instantly as if the weather around him meant nothing there was a snowstorm covering everywhere. Vannan's sight was blinded by the massive snowstorm. There was a wall of pure white between him and Mobias, yet Vannan wasn't worried. Mobias being a shingami meant that he could touch him without getting the hollow burn, which was a real pain, he had just recovered from the last time it happened with the twins.

Vannan didn't need Kagami telling him what to do, he had already planned on shooting arrows into the white snowstorm where Mobias was before. Vannan pulled back five arrows on his bow and fired them into the snowstorm at where he thought mobias was, there was no way for him to tell where he was because of the blinding snowstorm. However using the last place he was Vannan made an assumption as to what was his location.

The arrows that he fired however weren't normal ones they were his plasma bolts again. He hoped that the intense heat from them would melt away some snow around the arrows and the light off of them could help with the low visibility. Either way there were five plasma bolts going towards what he assumed was mobias. Vannan could only hope that no one else was in the way of his arrows. "Hey shingami, when you can give me back some reiatsu." Vannan wasn't going to turn down free reiatsu from a temporary ally.

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

<sub>The armor that guarded the giant's shin was torn away from his leg. A single piece was now her own to keep as a small prize, but at the same time exposing his shin to attacks. Such results did forge the confident smile across her face as she began her retreat to the building behind her. Pouncing lightly off her heels playfully her tails would caress the armor piece and concealed it with the fur of a single tail. To see the giant fall before her was very amusing to the Arrancar. Pure delight. For a time everything appeared to be to their favor. That was before Mobias struck the ground called what sounded like a release.

Her suspicions were on the mark as a surge of reiatsu could be felt from the man. Being within close proximity of him, Shinzui could definitely tell that she was in danger, and pushed off the floor with her strength to leap onto the roof top of the building. Only about 15 feet or so away from Mobias she was still on her guard since the immediate area was consumed in winter cold, frozen in pure white ice. Such a foolish individual believed that he could frighten her with such a display, for it would take more than a little release to scare her off. But she spoke too soon.

Soon after his initial release he spoke once more to express his power even further. It was that very moment the Arrancar's energy sensory would alarm her to avoid the area completely. If it was not for her sensory then she would have been caught within whatever trickery his ability would have done. However, she was not fast enough to avoid it completely, even with the warning her sensory provided to her. Even the roof top she stood on was not safe and shortly after, her vision was obscured for a moment by white with an eery noise filling her fox ears. Good thing she launched herself into the air once again with her strength to only position herself next to the Quincy.

Vannan was not someone she did not particularly want to be close to, especially after what had transpired between them a while back. She could remember that day on the Hawaiian shore, and what the twins had done with him. Regardless of her distaste for him they had a common enemy for the time being. Her gaze beamed down below to sight the sphere of white that was forged by Mobias' power. Bankai. That was what Mobias had stated. What surprised her the most was that Bankai was a Shinigami ability to unlock their fullest potential. Which meant that he was at his limit, while for the rest of the group were only just getting started.

The Shinigami before hand barked out orders as though he was in command of the group, which irritated her to no ends. Who was he to order her around like some grunt. Shinzui was a proud Arrancar, and no one was allowed to talk down to her. However, he did have a point for she could not see anything within the sphere. Vannan followed what was advised with a disgruntled expression on his face. Probably just thinking the same thing as she was. At least there was something that they could agree on. Maybe he was not as bad as the Shinigami were. Looking at him, it appeared as though he was still recovering from their last encounter. So, she will take some responsibility for him.

Vannan spoke in need of support, and Shinzui would agree with him, "I require aid as well." saying with such a rebellious tone. She didn't like the idea but if she was to last any longer in her form she required the additional reiatsu for what she had planned. "Vannan, I shall lend you my strength for temporary use. I will use my sensory to try to locate Mobias' position, and we shall hit him with everything." Clearly it was only meant to help him since he was familiar with most of her abilities, and with his own capability to absorb the reiatsu strength from others, then possibly her power combined with his arrows will cause more damage when Mobias was located.

Speaking to the man eight of her tails will surround the pair from all sides in a protective manner, while keeping themselves away from Vannan's skin to avoid burning him. As the tails surrounded the two, each of the tips would be directed toward different locations around the edges within the dome's radius. Immediately after, eight different shrieking red balls were formed along with an additional three more spheres from her open palms and mouth. It was after the Quincy's arrows were mid way toward the dome was when Shinzui released the eleven balas from her body. Once launched Shinzui switched herself to defense by loosening her tails, making them flexible and ready to lash out in response to Mobias' counter attack.

A glimmer of fatigue and exhaustion began to take their effect on the woman. Her breathing shallow with beads of sweat moistening her pale face and neck. She had used much of her reiatsu and for what was to come, she needed more. For now she will remain on the defensive until the Shinigami was able to replenish her reiatsu, then she can use the strongest technique in her arsenal. Her energy sensory focused on what was happening down below, and prepared to move as quickly as possible, prepared to warn Vannan if there was an incoming reiatsu attack.</sub>

The chilling winds of the white sphere would engulf the entirety of the group. There was the white light which would prevent them from perceiving well. The sphere of light was much like a white light that was blocking out those whom were sensing around it. Mobias however, was able to clearly sense everything that was going on within these confines. The swirling chilled sphere would prove deadly for those who were in it. As the counter went on, they would start to feel the chill building up around their bodies more and more, frost was now accumulating for them. If this weren't enough, the swirling of the barrier ( a simple shift in control) would cause the attacks to shift. Much like an attack in medium, it would send the attacks towards those who were no longer in the confines of the sphere. The attacks had been successfully redirected towards them.

Mobias could feel out everyone's ability, if he so focused. He knew whom was out of his sphere and who was not. There was a strange sensation that he had within his bones though, he knew focusing upon the mirror man that he would only be able to combat for a certain period of time before things became a bit more difficult. Mobias could also feel the attacks around him that were building up. The presence of the sphere and the aura was him, intensifying the surrounding sensory. This sensory made Mobias particularly aware of everyone, he was sure to put some sort of focused thought into each person. With this, he could figure out their ability and it was easy for him to predict what would come about it. This would determine his actions for the future.

He knew just where the plasma bolts and the rapid firing were to occur. Mobias simply put his hands together as the sphere shifted inside, he was simply swirling his reiatsu which controlled the sphere, manipulating it. The shift would throw off the attacks slightly, enough for mobias to avoid them. For him, it was like he was able to see clearly; sensing energy as though it were nothing. He disappeared and reappeared a moment later, he was standing behind Vannan, whom still wasn't able to see; his arms over him. There was an incantation that was spoken by Mobias. A moment later, a vapor that would surge over Vannan. If he were hit, he would be frozen completely. The man knew of the others ability and it could prove quite fatal. He would deal with the others for now, but it would give the Arrancar time to think or slip past; Mobias couldn't deal with them now, this man had to be taken care of first.

Class: 2

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: Ice

Technique Description and Effects: An incredibly powerful spell, Hyōga Seiran releases a wave of icy vapor that surges over the opponent, enveloping them completely within its frigid grasp and freezes them completely. The temperatures are roughly 200 degrees below zero, and as a result, death can occur quickly. This is also particularly potent against defensive Bakudo, such as Danku, because after freezing the wall over, the pounding force behind the technique can shatter it. Barriers of lesser strength will only last two or three seconds under the onslaught. Note, barrier strength is determined after the boost that the incantation gives this spell, making it devastating against defensive fighters. (Glacier Vapor Storm)

At first Kagami was confused by the turnout of his attempted escape from the cold. The Shunpo he activated somehow carried him simply to a different location within the blizzard when he was sure to direct himself away from Mobius. The only two possible explanations he could come up with were that the blizzard was far larger than he anticipated or that Mobius had somehow manipulated the trajectory that Kagami was traveling, and only the second explanation accounted for the shift Kagami felt in the snowy environment.

With the blinding white light making summoning mirrors impossible and the snow blocking his energy sensory, Kagami grew frustrated, worried, but mostly angry. He was leading a team that consisted of a couple of people he could care less about, but who would protect Hotaru and Asen? Those two needed to come out of the battle unscathed and alive, no matter the cost. Kagami’s men don’t die, especially not while he’s supposed to lead them. The only way to ensure their safety was to kill Mobius, so Kagami would do exactly that.

The white light Kagami saw kept him from seeing where he could summon any mirrors, but there were ways for him to block out at least some of the light so he could view at least his immediate surrounds. Acting as quickly as possible, Kagami covered his eyes with his hands to block the light. From there, he would open just a crack at the bottom of his gaze with his hands. It would give him a chance to glimpse nothing more than his feet, and that was all he needed. Now that he could see his feet, Kagami would summon two mirrors in a V shape that intersect right by his foot. From that point forward, Kagami turned slowly to see the end of his mirror and summoned a third wall of reflective glass to complete the triangle around him. The floor below him protected him from the cold, and the blizzard’s winds raged on over his head.

Now, the only white light came from the opening above the triangle of mirrors, allowing Kagami to see his pale, icy reflection in the mirrors. He had no allies beside him, no one to protect. They were all out there in the cold. Hotaru’s flames would be able to keep her safe, but what about Asen? Perhaps the Arrancar(s) and Quincy had some way to keep themselves safe, but Kagami couldn’t defend anyone in these conditions. He would have to wait until Mobius is weakened from within his defensive mirror triangle, where the cold couldn’t get him. Soon, he’d find his time to spring when 7 Years of Bad Luck took effect. Until then, he had to hope that the rest of his team could keep themselves alive.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru was Shunpoing away from the blizzard, following the direction that Kagami was traveling. She was confused when she just got engulfed in the blizzard instead. She saw Kagami get swallowed up and immediately after, she saw the snow billow around her and she immediately became blinded. All that was around her was the whiteness of the snow and the cold from it as well. She still had Shikai active, so she held her fire sword up to her chest. It was helping to keep the cold away, but just this little bit of flame wasn't going to help her stay warm. She could feel the cold setting on her, frost starting to form on her body.

She knew that she needed to think of a way to keep herself warm until she could figure out a way to fight this guy. With the weather the way it was now, she would definitely get frostbite or even worse. Since it was bitter cold, she was curious if the liquid form of her fire would actually freeze. She sprayed out a little bit of the liquid. She assumed that it had to be under freezing temperatures for the frost to form so quickly, she hoped that the liquid of her fire could just freeze out so she would be protected from the wind. She shot out a little bit of stream of her liquid and it did actually freeze. So, she now had an idea.

She made several quick motions with her left arm, trying to make a little cocoon out of her fire liquid. After a few minutes, and some frost accumulating on her body and arms, she finally was able to close up the little cocoon, already feeling warmer getting out of the wind of the cold. She just now needed to warm herself up. She thought about it and very slowly, the fire started to light inside the cocoon. She kept the cocoon about ten feet away from her, so the fire wouldn't burn her. At the very top of the cocoon, she let both sides burn out so she had a funnel for all the smoke. She was starting to feel fairly comfortable. Her logic was that while the liquid outside would stay frozen due to the weather and the fire inside would keep her warm. She hoped that everyone else was doing good right now.

Remaining Reiatsu: 750/1270, -50 for lighting liquid on fire. Shikai 4/8

Vannan could see somewhat given that his arrows had melted away some of the snow, what he saw was the tails of Shinzui form a small barrer around him and her, yet letting his arrows fly out. He had no way of knowing if his attacks did reach Mobias, the snow storm was too much. He had to get rid of this or else they all risked falling one by one to Mobias's attacks. He didn't want to, but he had steeled himself to use that technique, it would blow his cover as just a normal quincy, but in the face of certain death he had no choice, he had no clue as to how the other would react but that was something to worry about later.

{play me}

He drew in the reitasu around him and then activated vollstanding. To all who were a lower class than him it would appear as if he had vanished from existing. Vannan to those who could still see him they would see that over his face was a gas mask, on his back a giant bio-hazard symbol appeared that acted as wings. His clothing become totally black, with a long black coat, however the most noticable change was to his hair, it was no longer a deep blue, instead it had become a bright toxic green. There was an aura around him that bleed out, the aura was a bright toxic green with hints of black undertone. Sadly the snow made it impossible for those who normally would be able to see him unable to.

Vannan had used Vollstanding in time, he heard Mobias speak out an incantation, out of instinct Vannan started to draw in all the reitasu around him absorbing the kido and slowly turning the snow back into reitasu and taking it into his body. “Smite the enemy with hollow steel.” Vannan spoke out loud as he turned to face Mobias. In his hand a blade formed, he was ready for a fight, yet not one that would be face to face. In a blink of an eye Vannan had vanished from in front of Mobais and was now standing behind the man, his blade had been extended outward as he had dashed passed Mobias, the blade had been angled to slash through Mobais's neck. If it did hit or not was up to how quickly the shingami could react to Vannan using his hirenkyaku.

Vannan wasn't done though, even if Mobias was dead the snowstorm was still an issue. It roared on, however not for long. Focusing his new strength he started to draw the snowstorm into his own body. Slowly turning it from snow into reiatsu. From where he was standing after using the hirenkyaku; there was a small area without snow, slowly as the seconds started to tick the snow storm started to vanish receding into Vannan. This was no way in any form something that happened instantly, it was a slow process however the people at the edge of the snowstorm would soon see that it was vanishing. With in a minute the blizzard would be no more.

There was so much happening all at once. For what she believed to have escaped the area of effect from the snow storm, she was still ensnared within it. Even with the measures that she had taken to ensure that she was away from the giant's Bankai it would appear as though it was no enough. Furthermore, the shift within the storm caused her barrage of Balas to sway from their path. A large amount of reiatsu that was used left the Arrancar a bit exhausted, and with little left to work with, there was not much that the woman could do really. Now, she had to improvise. Easier said than done, including the shift in her own state of presence. Even now, she could feel her very being fading away, along with her current capabilities and train of thought. She was fading away.

Such thoughts distracted the Fraccion from what was transpiring around her. She failed to notice that the storm nearly engulfed her as though its origin emanated from behind herself. Her sense of sight had been obscured from the bright white of the snow, but her energy sensory allowed her to keep Vannan within her grasp, at least for the time being until her sensory indicated a larger presence. Among the individuals in the area only Mobias would be the one who could muster up this particular amount of strength, after all, he was using Bankai.

Regardless of detecting him, she was in deep trouble. Or so she thought for a brief moment before his presence lingered more to her side. Why would his signature do such a thing, unless he was... Vannan. Mobias was going for the Quincy. But before she could react Vannan's own reiatsu flared as he vanished from her line of sight. Replacing his physical body with a bright light then vanishing to what felt like behind Mobias. It was much quicker than before which did caught the woman by surprise, but what was more surprising was the nature of the snow. It's pattern shifting once again, this time providing a more comfortable atmosphere for a time while at the same time, strange.

Whatever the cause the giant's attention would be startled by the sudden flux in reiatsu by what Vannan had done. Unless the large being possessed a keen sense of instinct or was much quicker than what the Quincy had planned, then it would take time to notice what had transpired and its after effects. It will be during this time Shinzui would act, taking advantage of the sudden change in the situation. A quick twirl in the air to allow three of her nine tails to whip out like lashes with a bladed tip. Each one targeting a specific area; one toward the neck, where the armor is not as sturdy and with a small opening, another tail toward the ribs, while the last aimed for the exposed shin that was exposed from her early confrontation.

Still, her body would be freezing due to long exposure within the storm, but if the Quincy's tactic was successful, then perhaps her odds would lean more toward her favor. Her three pronged attack whipped out to her target another tail shot out toward one of the buildings support columns to pull her weakening body, to sling shot herself into the building to take cover. From there, a moment will pass before her body began to split apart to take on the fragmented forms that formed her. Only a bright light would be emitted before the single individual was torn into two individual girls. They can only hope that their little cover would provide some protection before acting once again.

OOC: You're up, White. Just reminding you

[Takashi Kuchiki]

OOC: Sorry for the long wait. I don't know if you guys would be fine if I pushed this now but yes. I'll do my best to see who wants massive TP lol.

The snowstorm raged on in the strange severely cold aura that surrounded. It seemed everyone had taken some sort of shelter and Mobias could feel himself becoming weaker as the roaring storm raged. However, there was some light which emitted. It caused Mobias to slowly lower his eyes before making an attack. He felt his aura and his essence begin to sap away as Vannan utilized his ace. The man let out a roar as the frozen mist began to dissipate and he felt a strange aura hit him fully. He couldn't help but stumble a little due to Kagami's last technique. He began to look towards the others, now no longer hindered by the strange frosted storm as before.

There was only small groans as he was slightly bent over, now exposed and looking at everyone. He gulped before seemingly irrational way, took up his sword. He charged forward, unable to say anything. It felt like without his main ability, he would be at fault. With the strange kangaroos by his side now fully deteriorated, he rushed with a rather large zwielhander sword which he seemed to pull from his back. Running towards Vannan, he simply made a vertical swing, holding it up and bringing it down. Mobias' power was linked intently to his shikai and bankai. His movements slowed considerably as the snow in the area dissipated. Was there a connection between his Zanpakutou and his life force? If one looked closely on the exposed area in his armor, they could see his body begin to rot.

OOC: Finish him!

[Deleted]

A small laugh echoed out from Vannan seeing Mobius now reduced to what he was. This shingami had been so arrogant with his power and now that it was gone it seemed that he was powerless. Those around him who were weaker than him wouldn't be able to see or sense him right now and he was glad. He didn't want Shizuni or Hotaru to see him how he was right now, but Mobius and Kagami were different both of them would be able to see what was about to happen.

As Mobias's strike tried to hit him, Vannan moved his wings to intercept the blade. The edges of his wings hit the blade and pushed up against it while he extended out one hand to grab to the helmet that Mobias had over his head. With one motion he yanked it off of the man's head exposing the rotting face of the man to everyone around them. The smell of rotting flesh would of made him sick if it wasn't for the gas mask over his face keeping the smell at bay. A smile formed on his face as he planned out how he was going to kill Mobius.

His wings pushed back against the blade forcing it upwards and away from his body. With Mobius's blade still up in the air from being pushed back he used his stepping technique to get behind the shingami. Using one hand he swung his own Hohle Schneide he swung it at all his speed to decapitate the shingami while holding onto the helmet that belonged to Mobius. His blade cut right through the man's neck with ease. Mobius's head fell to the ground as Vannan grabbed the collar of the armor dropping his Hohle Schneide and letting it vanish into nothingness. This battle was over and Vannan wanted his trophy from this fight and he was going to take the armor that the man wore, even though it did him little good.

Vannan looked at Kagami wondering what his next move would be. As it stood Kagami would of known that Vannan is a Vandenreich member given the use of Vollstandig. He wasn't sure if another fight was going to break out, but if it did he knew that he could trust Shizuni to back him. Carrying the armor and the helmet he walked back to Shizuni eying Kagami the entire time making sure that there wouldn't be a surprise attack coming his way. Once in speaking range he spoke to her “Open a garganta back to Hueco mundo I'm done here.” He hoped that she would do so so that the two of them would have an easy way out of the situation they were in. If she did he would follow her into the garganta, if she didn't he would simply fly away and find a safe spot to use gate to get back to the Vandenreich base.

(ooc: Remaining reiatsu 475/3500 -50 for Hirenkyaku was told that in volly you can store reiatsu from techs you absorb)

[Douma]

It seemed that someone had helped to deal with Douma. Suddenly, the icy wind caused by the blizzard died down. Little by little, Kagami regained the ability to see past the ice. He let his three mirrors around him fade away and was treated with the sight of that Quincy guy fighting Mobius. Hah! One of them would take out the other, and that was all that mattered. And the one person who’d be left was Kagami, plus his fellow Shinigami and maybe that Arrancar if she didn’t get in his way. He didn’t have a problem with Arrancar, but that Quincy was so damn annoying.

And so Vannan finished Mobius off. Perfect. They were done here. Kagami summoned a mirror behind Vannan, but the Quincy wouldn’t be able to detect the mirror in any way. He used Image Link to connect both ends, making it so that sound, vision, reiatsu, wind, dust, and just about everything passed through it. Even Vannan’s arrows would go through it. However, the one person not permitted to pass through the Image Link was Vannan himself.

And he would have no way of defending against the insanely heavy blow of the mirror spinning at full force to give him the biggest knock on the back of his head he had ever received. Maybe it would have killed him if Kagami didn’t tone it back, but the blow would definitely crack his skull, knock him out, and send him flying. And with that, a senkaimon gate appeared behind the Vice Captain to take him back home. The last sound anyone could hear while he walked through it were two words murmured under his breath.

“Fucking Quincy…”

Reiatsu Remaining: 7500/8000 (-25 for mirror, -50 for Image Link)

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru was still in her fiery cocoon, waiting out the snowstorm that was raging on outside. She figured that she would hold out in here for a little while longer, while she tried to think up a way to defeat this guy. He was so freaking powerful, she had no idea how they were even going to try to defeat him. So, she was contemplating on what to do inside her cocoon when she saw that the liquid that was making her cocoon was starting to fall away. She jumped out of the way of one of her thawed fiery liquid piece.

She decided to completely turn off the fire, in case more would start to fall towards her. Once she did, more of her liquid started to fall, turning back into the liquid that it was originally. After all the liquid had fallen, she quickly took a look around. The snow was completely gone and it seemed that the sun was finally out again, warming the Earth. She looked around and saw Mobius, weak and fallen, on the ground. She didn't know how that happened, but she saw Kagami watching on. She too watched and saw something pick him up.

It then sliced his head off, carrying the head and body away with it. She tried to use her energy sensing, but she couldn't pick up anything. It was the weirdest thing. She was about to walk over to Kagami, but he was opening a gate to get away from here. Well, their mission was over, so it was about time to head back to Soul Society. She hurried behind him and heard him utter fucking quincies. What was his issue with Quincy? Anyway, since the gate was still open, she hurriedly followed behind him, curious what was going to happen now that the stranger took the body with him.

OOC: Alrighty then, let's finish this.

IC:

A loud series of crashes filled the cold air outside of the complex that the two took shelter inside, those were the sounds that shook Shiryou awake from her slumber. Like drums beating to a musical rhythm her head was pounding viciously, but she couldn't really tell if it was actually her head that was hurting or Iraishin's. Either way, they were both hurting and disoriented from their return trip from the dark realm. Iraishin managed to shake off her weakened state to take a peek outside, "Observation. It seems as though they have wrapped up the titan already, so we must take our leave with what we have already." her sister stated holding up a layer of armor that appeared to belong to a section of the leg, the shin probably.

Shiryou really didn't know what she was referring to or even able to use their connection to see what her twin witnessed. She didn't really consider what was transpiring outside, therefore the two ventured to see what was happening. Using the staircase to reach the roof top the pair stood on an empty roof with the giant's body rotting away on the grounds that it once stood on. Looking at its body a sense of hunger did flow throughout her entire body. A quick nudge to her tired ribs from her other half with a slight shaking of the head. As awful as it was Iraishin was right, there was no time to eat. They had to get going.

Quick release of reiatsu from the pair caused a signal to call out just as the Quincy called out to them. They had to move.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Iraishin woke up moments before Shiryou did and managed to witness the beheading of Mobius. Seemed as though Vannan had done something although she wasn't able to clearly see what it was. The sudden burst of reiatsu that came from the man blurred out his own presence in a field of a distorted cloud. Needless to say that she couldn't detect him. After the massive body fell she alerted her significant other half that they had to get going. Once on the roof she heard the man give them an order. Iraishin answered with a nod as there was no time to teach him manners at the moment, and from what she could remember from the start of the mission was all they had to do was to flare their reiatsu to signal for a Garganta to open up. So they did.

Before the gate opened there another rise in reiatsu that ensnared the twin's attention. Suddenly an object appeared close to the Quincy, only to be met with a shrieking howl of a Bala from the palm of Shiryou's hand. Again her twin had wasted what remained of their overall strength, but no matter, for as soon as the Garganta tore open a gateway into the realm of shadows there their guardian will appear. The King of Beasts himself stood as a guard within the void with his eyes glaring from the other side, waiting for them to enter the gateway back home. He was a terrific and loyal guardian, and did not ask or snarled at their new acquaintance, Vannan, when Iraishin gestured that he was alright to come with them. Although the beast will keep a close eye on the man human, there was nothing more that needed to be done but to return home along with the fruits of their success, hoping the deliver what they could from the armor of Mobius back to Las Noches.
