((OOC: Stats for this one are whatever you feel necessary Xav. For this post i felt the fight would flow better if you and i had control over minor actions of my char and the NPC, obviously i only ended on one major attack but as you can see several minor exchanges took place between the pair. I encourage you to do the same with Sal in your post but if its a problem i won't mind doing an edit.))

Where the Hollow had been there was now air and it was only a subtle rush of wind behind him that alerted him to the creatures presence but like all bad men with an ego they liked to talk and it gave him the vital seconds he needed to prepare.
He turned the width of his sword toward him and using its reflective surface as a mirror saw the attack. He Rolled to the left, let his body turn, and came out swinging. He sent fast and furious slashes left and right, adjusting his steps with every slash in preparation for the parry. The Hollow did likewise, counter manoeuvring his footfalls to better defend against the onslaught. The blades clashed time and again, clanging into the air like a church bell, but no blow was struck between the pair and as their swords locked for the briefest of moments Sal spun rapidly to the side, released a hand from his Zanpakuto and gripping one of the Hollows thick biceps to ward a sudden side strike he made to deliver a devastating round house kick to the left side of the monsters head.

OOC: +1 speed for sal. Also just to make a note of it, I don’t mind doing this thing of controlling minor actions of your opponent in a fight on two conditions. One your opponent consents and it is a two way thing and the actions are kept very minor and are not detrimental to the opposing character.



Npc T-Bone: His strike was blocked, whether T-Bone was happy about this or not he couldn’t decide. On one hand it meant the fight might be fun, but on the other it meant this guy wasn’t too bad and could pose a threat. Well T-Bone had always been too stupid to be scared…. Or so he had been told, so why start now?

Having blocked the deadly slash the little man was now hammering short sharp slashed towards opposing sides of his body, no skill in them just speed and strength. The pair utilized some sharp footwork and an equilibrium was reached where there blades locked for a moment. This was when the wee man took his shot. Loosing a hand from his blade and grabbing his bicep he sent a sharp kick careering towards the left side of his head…

T-Bone was fast, but so was the wee man and despite his best efforts he still took most of the blunt force from the kick. His head reeled for a moment and his brain seemed to spin for a few more. But the kick also opened up an opportunity for him, as to deliver it the wee man had needed to come in close and actually make skin contact with him. T-Bone had enough sense to make the most of this and grab the arm that was on his bicep by the wrist as he stumbled back.

His grip was like iron, he knew this and he held on furiously as his head stopped spinning and then when the world was standing still he growled lowly and sent one of his melon sized fists aiming to connect dead center on his nose…

Kajitora appeared on the roof that Kaiyo had landed on, using his shunpo. His black eyes and shining hair reflecting the light from the explosions all around. He had felt the reiatsu of two shinigamis and one extremely strong hollow fighting for last few minutes of his travel to the battle. Kajitora grabbed the zanpakutou of the downed shinigami; admiring the red and yellow ribbons on the bottom of dragon hilted sword (they reminded him of the red tassels on the bottom of his Suzaku). He brought the zanpakutou to blonde haired girl wearing a red head band, and placed it in her hand. After making sure that the enemy hadn’t spotted him, and that his reiatsu was as low as he could get it he began to use the Keikatsu kidou.

The simple kidou was used by shinigami with potential in kidou and weren’t in the fourth squad, as an emergency technique. Hundreds of Hollows attacking Seireitei all at once qualified as an emergency to Kajitora. The kidou produced a light blue light that slightly healed Kaiyo at least until she could move. It was replacement for a squad 4 member but it would do the job for now. He readjusted his tied back sleeves and knelled down, asking the girl, “Are you ok?”

Kaiyo smiled weakly into the shinigami's black eyes, 'I'm fine thanks' a blatent lie. Although the young girl had to admit she did feel a lot better, she was awake again at least; she assumed the new shinigami had put her sword into her hand, Kai clenched her grip on the handle of her Zanpaktou, 'Thanks again for the help..erm?' a slightly akwards smile spread across her face, 'Sorry, i don't know your name, I'm Kaiyo Saiyouko Lieutenant of the 11th squad'.

Preparing herself for some more pain Kaiyo tried to sit up, her arms were seering in pain from her unfortunate crash landing and her face wasn't much better off, but always the optimist Kaiyo smiled once more at the kneeling shinigami and tried to stand up, leaning heavily on her sword and taking some very sharp breaths she had a look around. Kaiyo had assumed her landing hadn't been too bad, but looking at the roof she thought otherwise, it was quite badly torn up but she had managed to cushion the blow slightly by putting some of her spiritual energy around her body before she landed.

Sheathing her sword back up Kaiyo decided she'd head back to the main fighting grounds, she'd at least be more use there than lying idly on a roof. Before turning to leave Kaiyo looked once more at Kajitora, 'So erm what are your orders again, because its probably not to safe here' she giggled over to him, recalling her own 'incident'.

Kajitora tried to help Kaiyo sit up and introduced himself, "I'm Kajitora Miyamoto, newly appointed 10th Seat. I just graduated from the academy. Wow, you're Lieutenant Kaiyo Saiyouko! It's an honor." As Kaiyo stood up, Kajitora decided to let her try be herself-she was a lieutenant and he didn't want to do anything that would step on her pride. He watched her carefully to make sure she didn't fall, but to his surprise she was able to stand up.

Kajitora smiled goofily, "Actually I haven't received orders yet...but seeing as how you are a commanding officer-I can receive my orders from you. Sorry, I didn't help your friend but I wanted to make sure you were alright first."

Kajitora looked up into the sky, and he could sense the other shinigami's reiatsu and the hollows moving away from their position. He added one last thing, "I would really like to help you in battle. I'm proficient in Zanjutsu and Kidou both equally." He waited for his orders eagerly, it was his first chance to prove himself in battle-and he would not squander it.

Kaiyo ran her blood soaked hand through the back of her hair, smiling akwardly again, she didn't particularly care for her pride she was just happy to have some company, 'Well it's nice to meet ya newly appointed 10th seat, thanks for the healing by the way, i was in a bit of trouble there' Kaiyo smiled happily. She had to admit that Kajitora seemed quite an able fighter and pretty eager to prove it, but she never really liked telling people what to do, she much prefered everyone to be happy with a plan.

Kaiyo reached into her pocket and took some of the painkiller's she'd been given by the 4th squad, 'just in case'. Stretching out her arms Kaiyo had a long look around the building, catching up to Elven and dead meat now wouldn't be worth the effort, they would both probably be the most useful back in the main fight, still Kaiyo was annoyed though, she'd failed her mission, although she was fairly certain the black sphere had not been part of her brief.

'Thanks for offering to help Kajitora, i reckon we should get back to the main fight, but if you don't mind i'd like you to keep with me, if we think of any better ideas it would be easier for us to attack together? If you don't mind' Kaiyo's crystal blue eyes shimmered slightly off the nearby destruction, she apeared almost too innoccent for battle, and yet she loved it. 'Okay any suggestions welcome, and if i fall before we get there, please try and catch me' she chuckled over her shoulder as she prepare to flash step away. Before taking the leap however, she decided to send a hell butterfly, to the general commander; she thought he might worry about the shiny black bauble dead meat had taken. 'Okay ready when you are'

Kajitora waited for his Lieutenant's reply, watching her take the painkillers. After she had explained the plan, Kajitora agreed, "That sounds like a good idea. We can look for any hollows that are causing trouble and purge them." Kajitora laughed at the 'falling' comment and said, "Don't worry, I will catch you." Kajitora checked his tied back sleeves and his sword hilt before he reassured her, "I'm ready." He shunpo'd away with Kaiyo.

All around them the sounds of explosions, clashing swords, and reiatsu friction continued like a drum beat, a beat that Kajitora wanted to put a stop to. Suzaku's red light could be seen shining from the sheath, in anticipation. He had never seen Suzaku react in this way but he was sure it wouldn't be good for his physical health.

(ooc: Kido Stats Pleaseth. BTW, I wrote this figuring our respective speed stats justified it, Xav. Hope it works for you )

Elven had lost Kaiyo... but, at least she could still feel her partner’s reiatsu. So the electrifying shinigami was alive. But that was about the only blessing she could see in this particular event so far. It had been an unmitigated disaster. Hopefully the girl wouldn’t have any permanent damage, she’d been quick witted... a worthy comrade. What the hell am I supposed to DO about this blasted hollow. she thought desperately. Dead Meat was totally messing up her nicknaming reputation. And, in other (more serious) news, was making off with a valuable and likely dangerous... thing. Whatever the hell it had been.

Damn it.

She was back to having one last hope again. Bakudō had not done a heck of a lot to stop this critter, so she was going to shift to Hadō. If ONLY the beast had stood his ground! she thought irritably to herself Then Kaiyo and I would have creamed him. But that was prolly the exact reason he’d fled. Damn all smart hollows. Still, she had a spell that she had just learned. She would not have chosen to use this moment to try this untried Kidou as newly learned spells often had weak results. Your ability with Kidou in general worked to increase the power of even the low ranked spells, plus familiarity made a huge difference. And she was definitely a newbie to this world. But Dead Meat had left her little choice except to gamble and gamble big. She whispered a little something, begging Naito to guide her work, then set about it.

Shunpo carried her on at a frightening pace as she gathered her reiatsu carefully. She pulled it into the core of her body, felt the heat of it stirring through her veins, sparking and snarling to be let loose, then drew it carefully down her arm and into her palm... she tried to keep a steady hand on the formation of the energies as she shifted their nature, molded it to her purpose, sent it through to the Tsururi Raiden roiling in her hand to augment the strength of the spell. She managed this even as she was pouring everything she had into speed... she had to keep him within the reach of the spell. But the way this spell worked was difficult, she’d have to be able to TOUCH him to transfer the full degree of the gathered energies. This has to be the deadliest form of tag ever known... for the dude who was it. Now I just need a touch more speed here, and I can deal out some major damage. Gotta get closer, gotta hit him where it HURTS., she thought grimly. Tiny little sparks were already dancing along her fingers of her right hand as she held onto the Tsurzuri Raiden, (bound lightning) tightly wrapped around itself in the palm of her hand. She thought it appropriate that Dead Meat taste another dose of Kaiyo’s style of attack. Ya, that would be a nice bit of Kharma IF she could pull it off.

She drew closer and closer to the fleeing hollow with every step. Desperation gave her feet wings. Her lungs burned and her body felt like it was tearing to pieces, but she didn’t pay any of that any mind. Her focus had narrowed to one thing and one thing only. Him. She had to GET him. She saw nothing else, felt nothing else. She plowed through the reiatsu miasma that the hollows brought to the battlefield like it wasn’t even there. Her skin acquired a sheen of sweat she didn’t even feel, as the captains of the Court Guard let loose their true power to stalk the battlefield, this astonishing power so rarely felt by their subordinates. Her world consisted of one thing, the fleeing rear of a bloody insectoid hollow and her need to destroy him utterly.

It was a dangerous thing, that focus. On the battlefield you needed to be aware of your surroundings. Today, she didn’t care. This was one fight that had gone from being about getting the job done and had become about honor and pride. Kaiyo had fallen. That could never be forgiven. DAMN this creature. This THIEF. This murdering filth! she thought fiercely to herself. I will destroy him, he’ll regret the day he set foot in Seireitei. He will PAY if it’s the last thing I do!. She pulled closer, step by step. She WAS faster than him, perhaps just enough faster. She gathered herself and let loose another burst of speed.

There! Close enough. I’ve got him! she thought grimly. She gleefullystretched forward. The woman slapped her hand, wickedly dancing with electrical energies, at his left thigh...

(ooc: I'm not sure if this should be spirit power/fighting skill or speed...I'll leave that up to someone else)

At the sight of their comrades' demise, most intelligent beings would flee from the harbringer of such destruction. Hollows, however, were not intelligent beings. But what they lacked in brains they made up for in brawn. The second-to-last Hollow towered over Shikyo, four grotesque arms protruding from its mammoth sized body and an elongated prehensile tail which flailed about as the beast swayed slightly from left to right, seconds before charging madly at the shinigami. Raising two of its fists high into the air the Hollow made to crush Shikyo under its pure force. Utilizing his reiatsu, Shikyo's zanpakuto gave off a golden light as he raised the weapon above his head, absorbing the full force of the Hollow's fists. Under the weight of the two fists, Shikyo sank into the ground as the concrete around him was powderized into dirt. "That's all you've got?" Shikyo asked, knowing that the Hollow probably didn't understand him, and even if it did it would be unable to voice any response aside from its typical and predictable frustrated roar.

Stepping out of the sinkhole, Shikyo forcefully pushed his zanpakuto into the air, sending the two creature's fists high into the air. Wasting no time, Shikyo sprinted through its legs, leapin onto its thrashing tail as he scaled up the back of the Hollow toward its face. Attempting to grab the comparatively small shinigami, the Hollow's arms bend backward as if it were double-jointed. Slashing at its own back, the Hollow desperately wanted Shikyo off of it and hopefully crushed in its claws. Shikyo had other plans however as he used the back of the Hollow's neck as a spring board, propelling himself high above the Hollow. Feeling the immense reiatsu of the battles around him, Shikyo knew that his abilities could be put to better use else where and decided to get serious.

"Scatter the Sands Miku." Shikyo announced, his reiatsu increasing so abruptly that it caused slashing wind around him that whipped around the Hollow, knocking it on its back. The emerald staff burst into sand as the material now gathered around Shikyo, revolving around his body as if trapped by a gravitational pull. The black hilt in Shikyo's hand was now attached to a shining golden blade, which Shikyo launched high into the air and out of sight. Unable to discern what was happening, the doomed Hollow leapt to its feet, bending its knees as it catapulted itself toward Shikyo. Raising his hand above his head, Shikyo released a golden light that shaped the hovering sand into a large pike. As the light faded the lance-like object reflected the sun off its glass composition, seconds before Shikyo launched the weapon at the now quickly approaching Hollow's mask.

The impact alone would have been enough to end the Hollow but the lance drove completely through the creature, cleaving it in half and leaving nothing but the quickly disappearing remnants of the Hollow in its wake. Catching his now falling sword in his outstretched hand, Shikyo used his shunpo to appear before the last Hollow and sliced through its mask in one clean movement. As the last of his opponents fell Shikyo reverted the glass lance back to sand as it compiled on the golden blade, shifting back to the emerald staff as Shikyo sealed his Zanpakuto. Sheathing his weapon, Shikyo scaled the nearest building, leaping from roof top to roof top as he moved through the city, searching for someone in trouble.

OOC: +2 to speed for elven, and +2 to fighting skill for shikyo. Yummei could be aiming for speed here.

IC: He strained himself. Every muscle in him worked. Every ounce of energy he had was being ripped ruthlessly from its hiding place and poured into maintaining his sonido’s yet it wasn’t enough. Foot by foot, yard by yard, meter by meter he was gained upon.

He pushed himself as hard as he could but he just wasn’t fast enough or skilled enough in the use of sonido to out pace the shinigami pursuing him, the cold bitch that had lopped of his tail like it was some sort of toy. Even now with the occasional glances he threw her she didn’t seem to be paying attention to him, looking at her hands was she?

Damn her! She had taken his tail, a measure of his pride and even after that she didn’t have the decency to pay him the attention he deserved; apparently her nails where more important. If so why didn’t she just bloody well piss off and stop interfering in matters she didn’t understand?

Yummei knew that the time for questions and doubts was long past, he was committed to this goal now and no one, not this little shinigami, not the entire court guard division, not even the captain commander him bloody self was going to stop him.

Yummei also knew that at the speed he could manage he would not get away, he knew that he was a better fighter and stronger though and this gave him confidence. Adding to the fact that he had knocked the other little pest out of the game as far as he was concerned he felt inclined to maybe turn around and give this brat a good what for. But he would make her earn her keep and chase his ass to Tim buck too if that was how long it would take to catch him. Of course she didn’t have till Tim buck ‘cause he was rounding on the major spirit energy pretty damn quickly as it was.

Savage…. No…. insane. He let his insane grin spread across his lips like some sort of demented clown/puppy dog. And taking pleasure in the burning aching protest of almost every fiber of his hellish being he pressed on waiting for the inevitable catch up.

It came as expected, although in praise to his own speed it wasn’t quiet as fast as he would of thought. He knew she was there due to the faint sounds of her shunpo cutting through the air after himself, and due to a faint crackling energy he could hear from her direction. Must be a kidou he though to himself. This one defiantly liked her kidou.

Timing was everything here, and he was rather proud of how he managed to come out of one sonido and turn almost instantly to the other direction… and not a moment to soon as it would happen. The little pest was leaping towards his left thigh with an outstretched hand on which her fingers were charged with some sort of reatsu; he had no idea what it would do but he was sure it wouldn’t be nice whatever it was.

This didn’t change his plan of attack as he used the momentum from his turn to propel his body into a spinning round house kick that was aimed to take the jaw of anyone that it connected with, most especially the shinigami who was after his life. Unluckily though the spin of it brought his right ankle into contact with the kidou she was using and he felt an immense pain even as he carried on with the motion of his kick. Whether he connected or not he couldn’t tell through the haze pain that was clouding his mind as he came out of his attack and landed rather crudely on the ground.

He spun to face his opponent, with a snarl on his lips baring his elongated fangs. Breathing heavy, he let a guttural rasp escape from his jaws. His eyes burned with an intensity that added to the effect of malice that the dark red pupils gave already, clicking his neck in what he assumed was an intimidating fashion. He licked his lips for moisture…

‘‘Why do you peruse me? I did nothing to you… If it is for the lives of those slain then it is a mission of folly. Your life cannot be worth simply avenging theirs. Surely by now you know that in a fair contest I have the upper hand?’’ His voice rose out of anger ‘‘So why is it that you seek to deny me my goals!’’

He gathered reatsu slowly into his limbs and pushed of fiercely with a sonido at the same time screaming ‘‘Why!....’’

((OOC: Lets go for some fighting skill this time Xav))

The kick connected but the smirk that slithered across his face was short lived. The monster sized hand clamped onto his wrist as his foe stumbled jarring his shoulder socket almost to the point of seperation and then the punch that shook loose a tooth and crushed his nose in a glorious shower of red slammed into his face. He staggered two steps to the side, his arm still held tight. Spots of purple light flashed across his vision and it felt like his brain had taken whiplash from the impact.

Sal gave his head a shake to clear his head. This wasn't where he wanted to be, the Hollows strength was enormous, close quarters melee wasn't to his advantage. He regained some modicum of his senses and through the thick veil of anger that had descended across his vision one thought rippled from his brain and made it to his mouth. "Have it your way!" He snarled and twisting his captured wrist until it was almost at breaking managed to turn it so that he now had a grip of the Hollows as well. He jabbed his sword over the locked limbs in a quick stab but the Hollow deflected it with his own and swung low at his knees. Sal jumped over it and as he landed reeled the Hollow in with a massive heave of strength, drawing his head back as the distance decreased, and then flung it forward toward the Monsters ugly face.

OOC: going for some speed with these posts

Jin stepped out of the recruits barracks, the thick atmosphere created from all the excess reiatsu released during the surrounding combat crashed into his senses as he stepped out the doorway, barraging every one of the five of them with the aggrsiveness of its nature. he could almost taste the passion of each and every one of the individuals locked in combat in the surrounding area.

"what a pain, there no chance of sleep with the ruckus from these hollow"
most the shinigami recruits had been evacuated deemed too weak to be anything more that a hassle on the battlefield, unfortunately Jin had decided hed take to sleeping in the laundry cuboard so as too avoid being woken up for morning training, it was such an unelegant way too start the day. But although it would usually mean a few extra hours of sleep over his less inventive collegues today it unfortunately ment that he was the sole recruit left in the middle of a warzone, what an unresposible position to be in. Just one of the many messes he got himself into with that lazy nature of his.

But personally it didnt bother him, as he looked up at the blood red sky gazing toward the gentle clouds tinted with silver by the incandescent moon imbueing the sky with its beauty, he decided he could at least take down a few of the weaker hollow it would reduce the fluctuations in reiatsu he'd been feeling and finally silence those screams of their's, was it really necessary to emit constant battle cry's on the bright side his spiritual pressure was likely too be too meak to be noticed by any of the stronger hollow which ment he'd be able to avoid any troublesome situations. Yes this little diversion may turn out to be better than he'd expected.

He couldnt be sure if it was the excessive layer of reiatsu that lay thick in the air he inhaled or weather it was just his own excitement but he began to notice odd visions as he ran, every few steps his surroundings would rush by him in a blur and he'd end up considerably further than he should have got running at his speed. First kidou and then this becoming a shinigami was shaping up to be preety interesting.

as he ran at his staggered pace with his scattering of blurred intervals he finally found a target a crap like hollow scuttling along the roof of one of the barracks, he couldn't be sure but he thought it was the 12th squad. he approached the beast slowly sneaking up behind it as its spiny limb's scuttled across the tiles each step emitting a grating sound like nails on a chalk board.

As Jin drew his katana desperately wanting to silence the insecent noice this creature released, he got caught up in his haste causing the tip of his blade to chink against the rim of his hilt immediately alerting the hollow

the beast span releasing an ear splitting screech at pitches Jin never thought possible, its beady eyes locked onto it's katana weilding foe muscles tensing ready to spring an attack.....

OOC: +1 fighting skill to sal. And +2 speed to jin.

Npc T-Bone: His meaty hand connected with a lovely noise of cartilage being crushed into gelatin and bloody vessels popping and the red nectar sprayed in a lovely fashion all over the wee mans face.

This punch sent the man reeling back in a haze of pain, but a determined little thing he was and he twisted fiercely almost breaking his arm. Shocked at such a move T-Bones grip slackened and allowed the wee man to come and jab at him with his sword, it was an easy thing to deflect it and send a slash to take the mans knees of but he was a nimble thing and managed to jump over it with seeming ease.

This is when T-Bone got quite annoyed, just about to say something he got interrupted by a grueling head but, which rather unpleasantly gave the sound of cartilage being crushed and blood spurting everywhere.

The size difference between the two allowed for T-Bone to have enough of a mass advantage to keep his feet but he was still stunned for a few moments. In these few moments he was totally empty but to ward of any unwanted attacks he extended a hand and sent a hail of Bala raining out.

His head clearing from the pain a little, he shook his massive jowls and growled. ‘‘You know little man, I thing I underestimated you, T-Bone has never been one for brains, but you… you are going to get yourself a whooping now.’’

Raising his sword he roared, ‘‘Rabia toro!’’

And a thick hail or red reatsu and T-Bone showed his true form. Thick laden with muscle and much like a Bull.

‘‘HAHAH WEE MAN! NOW YOU DIE!’’

OOC: another for speed please, and thank you for the +2 its quite a compliment

IC: Jin looked down at the little beast in disgust, this was his first time actually coming into contact with a hollow and he had to admit he had no love for the little beast. Its reiatsu although preety weak even in comparison to Jin's seemed to echoes and empty sadness, an aura like that from anyone else and Jin may have even felt sad but in this case it was more likely the little creep was the one who'd caused the sadness

NPC Weak Hollow: Oooo a shinigami, so you will be my first opponent. i cant wait too begin my feast on the helpless souls of rukongai. you guys are it'l be like an all you cna eat buffay, im not leaving here till i've eaten at least 50 souls that'l take me to near menos class in strength, then ill be able to come back here and re.....

"Please shut up, your insecent rambline has passed annoying you're just grating on my nerves now. That voice is worse on my ears than the sound of your stick limb's on these tiles"

With that said Jin released a little reiatsu rushing forward with a swing towards the hollows mask, the obvious weak point in its shell protected body. But as the swing connected it was parried by the front two of the hollows leg's. A barrage of attacks followed his katana hammering away at the hollows defences but too no avail. Dammit this tactic was getting him nowhere, he jumped back to gain some distance between himself and his foe re-assesing his plan of attack. the warm wind blew through his cropped haircut massaging the skin of his skull with its refreshing touch. He looked up to once again be awed by the beauty of the now rose coloured sky, it's round silver centerpeice now enveloped in cloud cover.

The hollow before him sneered at his failed attempt to excecute it mocking him.

NPC Weak hollow: When i was alive I was Awaji Souskei feared serial murderer, people wouldnt dare say my name after sundown for fear of my appearance. I terrorised and robbed the residents of Osaka with my malicious fury all those who opposed me were slaughtered I WAS THE BOSS!!! even the police feared me. and now you shinigami you will be the first in my new streak of murders you will be the stepping stone off which i leap too greatness.

"Do all hollow talk this much? i cant understand why your soo preocupied with these stories.......your already fininshed.

The hollow looked at Jin in confusion at this comment unable to understand his meaning, suddenly he crossed his eyes realising something was amiss. Jin stood in silence watching with smoke trailing from the finger he had pointed at the hollows face. A small hole now burned through the creature in the direction of Jin finger.

if the beast hadnt been so engrossed in its own story it would have heard the whispered command from Jin.

"Hadou number 4: Byakurai"

He watched as the hollow began to turn to nothing but ash. Amid it cried protest's of not being told the battle had begun again Jin ran towards it slammming a foot on its face and using it as a spring board for his flashstep. Milliseconds later he was infront of another hollow this one a flyer he landed on it mask thrusting his katana down into the demon's head he ran along its length carving it in two as he did.

Leaping of this creature he used Hohou to flash step through the air the scene's to his to either side passing in a blur like a badly developed photo's. As he made his charge he destroy two more hollow in his passing one with his katana and another by using Hadou number 12: needle release and body slamming the critter as he fell through the air his erlier hollow platform now dissintergrated he looked down to see another of the Demon's this time on the ground of seretei, there was jus no end to these things he could feel all hopes of his nap slipping away. He contorted his body to land on his feet using his shunpo to reach the ground faster before the beast caused any more damage, the reiatsu fueled needles dissintegrating as he went.

This one was bigger than those before, a nasty looking beast with two heads and four legs bearing a striking resemblance to a hydra, it roared as it observed Jin coming in to land.
But before Jin even had time to register that a ten ton tail came swinging his way.........


ADMIN EDIT: Jin pointed out that this post may have been over looked for marking, as i didn't want to clutter the thread with needless OOC i chose to edit in the appropriate stats here. +1 for Speed.

Kaiyo was travelling at a normal speed with Kajitora following behind her, she was really grateful he had showed up when he did and she trusted him to fight with her so off they had gone. The crashing and thundering of the battle engulfed her senses accompanied by the clanging of metal on metal fights between Espada and shinigami, the ear piercing cries of hollows corrupted the air as Kaiyo slowed down slightly.

A small hell butterfly had flown from the main battle and Kaiyo had assumed it was aiming towards her, she was right. The small black buttefly came and landed on her shoulder, '
Lieutenant Kaiyo Saiyouko and shinigami Kajitora Miyamoto, I am sending you both to the eastern gate of Sereitei where you will intercept and defeat an arrancar, after you have completed your mission you will return back to the main fight' The voice of the General Commander was always a little scary but Kaiyo managed to shake of her worry and turn to Kajitora, 'You ready?' she smiled over her shoulder.

Kaiyo ground to a halt and turned to her right, setting off again to flash step to her new enemy, the fight awaiting her should be an interesting one, assuming Kajitora could keep up, but from the little she had seen and observed oh him, he should be able to handle to fight fine.
