God Yet Lives

*Kite flashsteps behind Gevurah.*

Kite: <Bakudo #9, Geki!>

<Number nine? Number NINE? I'd advise you to throw a rock at me, but I tire of this farce.>

*He easily breaks out & goes to pimpslap him with a glowing hand.*

Yue doesn't give him the time to run before firing off the second cero he was charging from the other foot with another round house kick.

*He still escapes, like a boss.*

"...Where is the redhead?"

U<She flew off.>

"Figures."

U<If you can get to the Squad 12 barracks on your own, I'll be returning to Sokyoku Hill.>

*Kite ducks and strikes his hand upwards with his wheel.*

*Ignoring the unsettling cracking noise, Gevurah swings down with the fire sword in his other hand.*

"Man they're slippery." Yue sticks his hands in his pockets.

"More like wanted one since he found out I had one." Noct mumbled under her breath. "We're not giving away my cat. He is just going to be watching her while we're on vacation."

--

Mortal smiled, "Thank you, Aroma."

Atae looked at Aroma,"There are stories about Aamon's invasion, but I don't remember anything about someone like you, or that other arrancar that was here."

"We added one to our group, and the other kind of just showed up, and hasn't left."

"I wasn't around back then. I died recently. I was made into an Arrancar by Basidius, who said he was taught how by a man in a black cloak, who also told him where to find me &...that other guy."

*Unohana comes back on her flying manta ray. It lands, but she does not dismount.*

<The Squad 4 Barracks have been reclaimed. If you like, you can use them now. However, there is no one staffing them at the moment.>
=========================================
~All Soul Reapers~

Isane's Voice: "Attention all Seated Officers of the 13 Court Guard Squads. It has been observed that all of our enemies wear simple, black cloaks. Furthermore, we have accepted the aid of some foreign Arrancar to combat this threat. In light of these events, please do not attack any Arrancar that does not fit the enemy's description, but proceed to deal with them cautiously, & direct your squads accordingly."
==============================================
"It matters not, we can't defeat them here anyway. The primary concern is to clear them out so that we can operate efficiently. Go find someone to kill, I'll be heading for Urahara."

*He disappears.*
==============================================
"I didn't mean to give her away, but he might appreciate it. Maybe he'll even adopt a kitty of his own."

Mortal raised an eyebrow, "Man... talk about robbing the cradle."

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that." Sab said, head still hurting.

"Um, nothing, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Atae looked at Unohana, "I will return to my post Captain Commander. At least someone should be at the 4th to treat the injured."

Mortal looked over at Unohana as well, "Are there any battles that need immediate attention, or has the situation been contained?" She asked, not bothering to check the area for spiritual pressures.

--

"That'd be good for him. He seems like a person who needs someone to listen to him, and his problems. Cats are perfect for that."

"Well excuse me," Atsuko responded in an irritated tone of voice. "It's just that my leg is broken, I've had the wind knocked out of me multiple times and I used a large amount of my reiatsu to heal and fight that madman at the same time..."
As she finished speaking, she went bright red and sighed before speaking again in a much more quiet tone, "I'm sorry.. I should be grateful that you are helping me at all."

Kira groaned and tried to sit back up. He had expected that his combined Kido would have the force to at least knock the bird off course.
Flicking his hand, his sent the mist up and had it surround the bird's head to obscure it's vision before painfully throwing his javelin at it's chest.

"I'm sorry, what? I was busy thinking about how you smell like meat."

*She hits the ground & starts running towards the fire.*
=============================================
*It swerves out of the way & the new figure slashes it, resulting in a rain of pink flowers. Seeing this, the bird opens its mouth & hits it in the face with a Cero, at which point it starts falling.*
=============================================
U<There are a few enemies left, but it should be nothing we cannot handle.>
=============================================
*She frowns.*

"The way you put that sounds kind of mean."

Noctis turned her attention to Euryale, "I didn't mean to be mean. I was using myself as a reference. When I have a problem, big or small, I like to talk it out with Lulu. It helps put my mind at ease. I think something like that for John would be helpful."

--

Mortal nodded, "Well, if that is the case, I'll go get some rest."

--

Atae bowed to Unohana before flash stepping away to the 4th to assess the damage, and see what she could do to be helpful.

Kira fired a Haien at the bird as he regenerated his javelin and soared into the air the catch his falling ally.

Atsuko leaned her head on Venezuala's shoulder and grumbled quietly to herself.

*Lilith rights herself & veers out of the way as Kira falls back to the ground. Her wings change shape & she swings an arm, firing bamboo spears at the bird. Unable to dodge them all, several of its feathers are shredded before the Haien hits it & ignites one of its wings. It falls to the ground, but not before dispersing its blades in a whirling sphere around itself.*
=======================================
*The closer they get to the fire, the more they feel an oppressive, burning-hot Reitsu similar to a Hollow's, but reminiscent of a few Captains going all-out in terms of sheer magnitude.*
=======================================
U<Feel free to allow me to drop you all off on my way.>
=======================================
"Okay, I can see that. I never had a pet when I was growing up. Except one time I won a fish at a carnival that died 3 days later. I named him Bahamut."
======================================
*As it turns out, the facility had been ransacked--records stolen or burned, furniture & supplies smashed, sections of wall broken apart...but other than that, it was good. And there were no signs of a struggle.*

"I don't like this," Atsuko mumbled. "This reiatsu is so strong..."

Kira dropped his javelin and pointed both palms at the bird- "Tenran ken Okasen!"
The result was a whirlwind of yellow fire that roared straight into the bird.

Atae didn't even know where to start with destruction everywhere. After a brief time Atae set about clearing a small section of rooms close to the entrance for general use, then went to see what supplies could be salvaged, and otherwise used.

--

"Well, now you have Lulu." Noct said, she then leaned against Euryale, "And me of course, when you're done talking to animals. Not that I'm your pet... well, you know what I mean."

--

"On your way where?"

Yue had returned to the group by now and looked up at Unohana, "If its alright with you I'd like to help look for the wounded and critically wounded Head Captain Unohana."

*This resulted in the blades being blown away & the bird being covered in what I'm pretty sure was actually electricity. Moments later, the flower petals explode. When the dust clears, the Gates of Hell can be seen for a brief moment, before they disintegrate, leaving no trace of the attacker. Lilith immediately flies off towards all the goddamn fire.*
===========================================
"I don't know what you want me to do about it."
===========================================
<You are not a very good doctor, are you? You're wasting your time. All of these supplies are potentially contaminated & will have to be destroyed.>

*Standing in the doorway is a young girl with pale skin & white hair in a lab coat, with a deadpan expression.*
===========================================
*She pulls a pencil & a tablet of paper out of the desk drawer & starts taking notes.*

"Ideas for...vacation...activities..i-e-s. One: Role-playing. Okay, great start."
===========================================
<That is not important. Also, I would greatly appreciate if you left that to Squad 4.>

*Kite dodges to the left, the blade raking his right leg.*

[Any backup would be incredibly welcome.]

*He swings the wheel at Gevurah's back. As he is doing so, several copies of the blade made of fire split from it and circle around Gevurah spinning into him from different angles.*

*Gevurah jumps, like a boss. Once in the air, he pushes off towards Kite, enveloping himself in flames like a damn meteor.*

*Kite envelops himself in the flame drill from before with the wheel spinning at high speed in front of him and jumps towards Gevurah.*

"Why are you so testy with someone who's trying to help? Look, a millennia of hatred isn't going to dissolve over night, I get that, but I'm offering to put my speed to good use. I'm not with Senthose's group. I'm traveling with them out of convenience's sake. So if its a matter of him being untrustworthy then rest assured. I'm not like him, and I'm not like other arrancar. I just don't don't want to be standing around doing nothing when I could helping someone" Yue put his hands behind his head and sighed.

"Sorry Head captain, I got a little overly heated there. Forgive me."

U<There is a reason we do not have Squad 11 tend to the wounded.>
=============================================
*This ends with both of them on the ground & Kite in a crater. His Bankai is heavily cracked & both are burned heavily. Despite this, Gevurah rises to his feet & stumbles into the hole, generating a new fire sword as he goes.*

"Then I'll keep looking for intruders and if I happen to see some who is wounded or in critical condition I will locate the nearest member of the 4th division." Yue walked away at a brisk pace.
