Ri's hand instantly moved onto his hilt the moment Jacques moved, he was fast but Ri could follow his movements to some degree. Ri prepared himself to jump to kuroi aid but Jacques moved, the attack had been a diversion.

Ri saw him move out of sight and by experience knew he was coming from behind and that his blade was so small to block. Ri shunpo'd to his left and from it's sheath Ri and slashed for Jacques shoulder.

Ri's sword made contact but the moment it touch Ri knew it couldn't piece his skin. Ri leaped back a few paces out of the immediate range of Jacques knife. Ri face broke out in a smile, it was going to to be an easy fight and he liked that.

"Have you no manner, you should always introduce yourself. I'm Ri O'nocht fifth seat of squad ten " Ri said smiling well maintain an excited look in his eye , Jacques maybe out of his league but with Kuroi it made something of an even fight.

Kuroi hadnt had time to react to the initial blow... Has he hadnt seen it... He barely Reacted to Ri's appearance, which means that sould society had sent reinforcements.

Kuroi turned, gathering all the sand from his little storm into one rotating sphere Kuroi spun and launched it at the Arrancar's head, while the spin was more of a pivot letting him luckily dodge the jab. Which Kuroi couldnt of healed since it was on his back.

Kuroi retracted some of the sand into both tubes, making the tubes glow again, and this would allow him to fight for much longer, since he had reinforcements. Kuroi had to keep his guard up though... Kuroi let the sand flow aroudn him in streams, instead of the big storm.

Wick watched all this in amazement, and yet he was shocked. These people had, supernatural abilities. Did this mean he did as well? He had to find out and the only way he could was to go in and ask for help. He noticed a strange sense coming from the man in the suit, who clearly was the strongest. And also the frog like beast, which was clearly trying to get out of the way of the large laser type thing. He heard something about a, soul society. He had to know. But if this one being was hit by this sand orb, it might all be over. He had to risk it.
He straightened his back getting ready to attack, and at that very moment he felt a rush of energy/rage go through him. He was ready. He tried converting it into an attack, then suddenly his tail retracted its small blade and the whole tail glowed green.
"Impresive!" he had said to himself. Then, Wick, jumped of the roof the building and charge his poisoned whip towards the orb. He knew it wouldn´t end well but he needed answers...

As he suddenly felt an orb like concentration of the Arrancar's Reiryoku the Quincy instantly moved out. Leaping into the air and snapping off multiple arrows towards the strange frog like hollow. Hado would need every shred of concentration to even survive fighting the Arrancar, let alone with a frog trying to eat him. But right now, Hado was in a dangerous position, falling through the air was not somewhere anyone wanted to be.

So, using controlled bursts of the Reishi and Reiryoku stored in his legs he eventually came to rest on the ground. The smothering Reiatsu having relaxed slightly due to the humanoid having just released an energy beam of sorts.

The Shinigami obviously had their hands full with that man, and after Hado dealt with the small fry Hollow he would give the two a helping hand.

OOC: Bad! Dx

Jiro's simple attack was so weak due to the Reiatsu that by the time he landed and the Quincy had dodged, the cero was already imminent. Gathering all his remaining strength he jumped and barely escaped the blast with his life, so he had little to no time to see the arrows heading his way. The first couple missed, but the last hit his right front leg and when he landed he fell forward onto the ground. The hollow stood, enraged, mostly because Jacques fired off the cero, but he had no choice but to focus on the one shooting arrows.

It seemed his opponent could move much easier than he, so attacking first would get him killed before he had a chance to land any hits.. but the enemy could also shoot arrows, while Jiro couldn't fight long range at all. His best chance was to be a coward and hope Jacques could handle the two Shinigami quickly and move on to his opponent before he succumbed to exhaustion due to the Reiatsu.

OOC: Cero mid-leap, I definitely should be dead..

"My name is Jacques Kyoukan- and though I am generally a rather courteous individual, I must say that given the unfair odds my not introducing myself is hardly that much of a transgression," Jacques said. He spat out his half-smoked cigarette and replaced it with a fresh one. "I need something pleasant like a new cigarette to hold my attention while I deal with small-fry like you," he explained as insultingly as he possibly could.

That being said, he placed the knife back into its holder up his sleeve. Just to make things interesting, of course. Jacques Sonido'd toward Ri, right hand extended for a jaw-shattering right hook. It was a feint however; the real attack was coming from his bare left hand in the form of a palm thrust directed at Ri's chest. He planned on tearing through the fabric because if even a square millimeter of Ri's skin came into contact with Jacques's bare hand, he would be injected with a venom that would render him effectively useless in a short amount of time (see char app for details).

If Ri was particularly weak, the attack might even just tear right through him. Jacques didn't really care if that happened; this one hadn't displayed any traits he was at all interested in, unlike the arrow boy below them. Out of the corner of his eye, Jacques saw a new Hollow attacking the Sandman. Not a problem; Jacques focused on the problem at hand.

((Sandman, i like that nickname))

Kuroi was genuinly suprised that the hollow had intercepted his attack, Kuroi didnt sense it because it was so weak and Jacques was so strongly emitting energy.

It was either very smart or very lucky, as he intercepted the sand, but he let is swallow his barbed tail. Kuroi's Shikai, of course as it was a staff, ment that it wouldnt cut through its tail, although, that wasnt the least of this hollows worries.

Kuroi let the hollow's tail go, but only to send all his availble sand(out of the canisters) at the hollow, his intention to let the abrasive sand push him away and probably wound the hollow.

Kuroi locked his senses on that hollow, keeping a sort of third eye on the hollow as he was sure it would have some other attack incoming later.

Also Kuroi pulled the sand back pulling it all of the the chambers, except for very little, enough to pull out a spear head, that was wickedly barbed.

Kuroi stabbed forward, attempting to intercept the hand. Either that or it would impact, pushing the hand away anyway.

Ri watched carefully when Jacques withdrew his butterfly knife and returned it into his shelve. Ri wasn't sure if himself and Kuroi were enough to beat Jacques but he was going to give it a good go. The next thing Ri knew Jacques right hook was swinging for his jaw, without hesitating Ri leaned back and pulled his head back but that punch had been a faint and the real one was heading straight for his chest.

Ri kicked off his reiatsu foothold trying to avoid the palm but he wasn't fast enough, the palm was gaining on his chest and was already tearing his garment. Kuroi spear made contact with the hand and Ri managed to shunpo'd far off to his left. On his chest was a perfect hole of Jacques palm.

"That was close I'll have to be faster, Ruler of the winds arise! Gáircas” Ri speaking in a tone that should put fear into the fearless, as he walked slowly toward Jacques the air around him began to spin around him , fueling him. A vast amount of wind surrounded his Zanpakuto and replaced with the sky blue blade, Gáircas’s released state.

“Rásúr” Ri said as the wind grew fiercer still , magnificent wings sprouted from Ri’s back , made of his reiatsu. They extended themselves then wrapped themselves around Ri to form a layer of armor around Ri's upper-body and arm's. The armor appeared to be and was very light but it took hard blows to pierce, Ri knew that from experience.

(so did my hand touch your bare skin or not? sorry, i'm not clear. also, something weird happened when i tried to post, forum f*cked up or something, so this is going to be short cause i am too lazy to type all the banter again)

The Sandman interrupting the killing blow was a minor setback; really of little concern to Jacques. It was irritating how he couldn't count on the other Hollows to keep these two separate; so, of course, the tactical thing to do would be to separate them. Jacques raised both hands and fired a Bala at the sides of both the Sandman and Ri. They were aimed at their sides so that it would give them two options; first, to dodge towards each other, or second, to dodge away from each other.

Should the former occur, Jacques would fire a Cero at the pair, and should the latter occur, he would Sonido toward the Sandman and aim a Bala-enhanced punch at some vital section of his body to be determined later.

Wick was amazed that he was able to break through the sand attack. He thought to himself, "WOW! If I can do that before I master my powers, imagine what I can do later". But Sudenlly he felt an exstreme over himself, like a 2-tone boulder just fell on top of him. The weight of the Reiatsu was unbearable.

Wick, with the last of his strength, tried raising himself through this pain. He had to run ... or fight!

((Kinda late ehh...))

Kuroi was suprised to see such a brazen attack from a low class hollow. But then again they were hollows. Kuroi now had a new perdicament. The bala heading for him this was not good but he had to fight through it... Kuroi had to be spontanous and with a projectile heading toward him now he had no choice.

Kuroi dodged low to the ground, essentially ducking the techique but he used the low center of gravity to push off in a shunpo enhanced lunge, with the spear end aimed at Jaques stomache.

Jin got up from an unconscious state (ref:https://thebleachworld.darkbb.com/karakura-town-f21/jin-s-revenge-on-le-muerto-t1917.htm) and stumbled a little. He shivered from the cold at night, seeing as he was missing the top of his robe and his leggings wore torn from the knee down. He noticed the fight not a block away, and began to jump from building to building towards the fight.

When he saw a man-sized hollow attacking a fellow shinigami , who he knew as Kuroi. He had a sudden realisation that that hollow was an Arrancar, a type of hollow he read about in the library. He knew he would'nt stand a chance, but he had to help Kuroi. Jin jumped at the Arrancar, and pulled out his zanpaku-tou, raising to a fighting position. He copied a feint technique he saw a few seconds ago executed by the Arrancar. He kicked at the Arrancar's head, but at the last moment, placed his reiatsu in his feet and stepped behind his opponent, still in mid-air. At this time, he drew his zanpaku-tou back and readied for a stab at the Arrancar's head (the back of it at least).

((Im not sure you would wanna... required editsL you wouldnt know my name; you would be crippled by reiatsu imensiely(see the other rank 0 guys posts))

(ooc: exactly, regarding to the crippling. My character is being slowed down greatly, as his normal speed is ten times that of a normal human)

[ooc: REMEMBER WHAT THE ADMINS SAY ABOUT SKIMPY ONE-LINE POSTS!?]

Jin was trying his best to stay conscious and keep moving, but his reiatsu was waning from his last fight, where he used up almost all of it.

He managed to hit the arrancar with his zanpakutou, but he couldn't even break the arrancar's skin. The best he could do was leave a scratch on the arrancar's back and tear his suit.

(ooc: GET SUM !!11!!
