The Escape Plan(Open)

Shakaku nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of fireworks exploding over head. What the hell? She thought and glanced over to find Ankou looking quite disoriented from the explosives. Soon after, the fight between the stranger and her lieutenant had begun, erupting in a huge amount of spiritual pressure as Sabrina released her Shikai. This is too dangerous for us to be here. We could get caught up in the crossfires and die. I have to do something. She contemplated drawing her sword and jumping into the fray but what good would that do? she didn't have Shikai yet, hell, she didn't even know the name of her zanpakuto. She would get in the way, or even get herself killed. Her head told her to think and think hard. What could she do to be useful...? She felt as if all the blood rush from her body and left her a cold carcass. The Academy students. She at least could put up a fight if she was caught up in the frenzy but they couldn't. Ankou couldn't even wield his sword properly, let along fight against a rogue Shinigami with it.

In that instant, Shakaku turned and grabbed the female Academy student next to her, throwing her over the shoulder as she started running towards the cause of the explosives. "Ankou!" She called and pulled the Academy student onto her other shoulder. "Jeez you guys are heavier than I expected," she growled and jumped up onto a distant building to avoid being caught up in the fighting. Setting the students down she sighed. "You two stay here. Don't even think about going down there to fight, you hear me? Then it would have to be me to go and drag your bloody body back up here and plan a funeral, you understand?" She glared down at the students. "It's for your own safety." Her gaze softened as she patted Ankou on the head and sat next to him. "My lieutenant knows what she's doing, no need to worry." At least she better know, Shakaku thought grimly.

(Ending thread, you asshats took to long.)

Junko managed to fight toe to toe for only a moment. The Lieutenant was a place that was earned, and this girl showed it. She used an ability which blasted Junko backwards, it propelled her into flight, her instincts taking over where her mind lacked her wings spread, and her body twisted, doing a 180 degree turn, using the propulsion as a catapult. The reason was fairly obvious to anyone who was a spiritual body, Junko's reiatsu was decreasing rapidly, Junko knew that shikai wouldn't last forever, and the blast of air was good enough to send Junko on her way. The rukon district was mabye 100 feet away from her now, and she passed though the gates unscathed, as the gates were not activated. She was where she needed to be. All according to plan.

Sabrina was beyond surprised that the intended attack assisted rather than disabled the target. She had thought the wings were nothing more than ornaments. Honestly she should have known better with such an elaborate transformation. Her overconfidence had been her own undoing. Sabrina was about to pursue and then halted. Her first priority was the safety of the student, she was her responsibility after all. The Captain had made her bring Rei along, she wasn't going to abandon her now just to chase the criminal down. With a sigh she spun the massive weapon over her head then pierced the ground once more. Both her hand held the handle as she closed her eyes and concentrated.
"Operetta." she said and the whole blade began to hum. The subtle vibrations slowly traveled into her hands. While it looked like nothing was happening the blade was sending out sounds much akin to sonar. Soft sounds raced in every direction and reflecting back to her. It was all noise to Sabrina, but with Lyrianna's help it painted a map of the area. Slowly the field expanded until it encompassed well over 100ft.

She could 'see' everything now. The woman had indeed left. Sabrina was worried that the shinigami had only retreated to come back and ambush them. It was during this time that she discovered the hidden man. Although invisible to the naked eye he gave plenty of sounds. His breathing gave him away. The rise and fall of his chest, the rustling of his clothing. There was no way to hid the noise no matter how much he tried. The way his heart was beating made her doubt he was an enemy. Perhaps he was some hapless person that had stumbled upon the scene and was reluctant to approach. She sighed and opened her eyes. She released one of her hands on the weapon.
"She's gone." she spoke evenly to those gathered. "I need to contact headquarters. They'll want to know that there's a rogue on the loose." Sabrina reached into her inner pocket and removed her phone. She dialed the communication office to relay what had just occurred at the gate.
