God Yet Lives

Astarte's wings folded forward and created a shield in front of her, which then exploded with more lightning as the Ceros were about to hit.
After the blast, Astarte opened her burnt and sore wings up and fired another shot of lightning from her fingers at it's head.

OOC: The only possible BGM for Nnoitora and all things arrancar and epic.

Treachery

Yue steps forward, "Enchain, Bestia Escarlata" Yue also releases kicking up dust as well as the traditional occurring of red chains encircling his body before blasting apart revealing his release.

There was a difference this time though. Yue wrapped the bladed tails around his waist so that the blades face back and were out of the way. He reached back and the blades that came from his scarf came to his hands where he tugged releasing them just like how he usually snaps his bindings free for some attacks. He was now armed with a pair of scimitar like swords.

"Mortal, go help Lilith. Nnoitora is mine" he then charged with his blades crackling with energy to meet the warrior arrancar head on.

Its about time I stopped running from what I am. I am a warrior, fighting is in my blood and soul.

Mortal laughed humorously, "I thought I already said that I had a title I intended to keep," Mortal said, "You're welcome to fight with me, but don't assume you can order me to do anything." With that she clasped her hands together and raised them high above her head, then brought it down into the sand. Above Nnoitra's head two dragon hands did the same thing, aiming to flatten the multi-armed freak into a fine pink mist.

--

"Right, right," Sab said, grabbing Lilith by the back of the neck and teleporting up behind the Cerosnake's head.

--

Noctis frowned a bit before ashamedly muttering, "Everywhere..." Noct hated how pale she was, though she did love Euryale rubbing her belly.

E"You need to be more careful, then. The sun is not your enemy. Maybe try a stronger SPF? Unfortunately, this stuff I have here isn't that great, because I don't get sunburn that often."

*While she's talking, she starts rubbing down Noct's arms.*
=========================================
OOC: But Nnoitra is degenerate scum.

*Nnoitra raises his arms overhead to block.*

<In this form, my hierro's even stronger, so don't go thinking you can cut me again!>

*He then dashes out from under the dragon hands, swinging a scythe at Mortal. To make matters worse, Antlion is swimming towards her from behind. As Lilith tries to stab the Cerosnake, dozens of orbs form behind its head & fire at her & Sab before she can get there.*

OOC: Its still the theme that plays when he releases.

"What a coincidence because in this form my strength and my speed also increases. If you have the strongest hierro then I have the greatest raw strength of the arrancar!" Yue vanishes only to reappear at Nnoi's right flank and slash with a rising circle slash.

Sab teleports them past the orbs, assuming that they only fired in one direction.

--

Mortal ignores Antlion for the time being, and uses scales to block Nnoitra's scythe. Realizing things would go along faster with a blade, she drops into her Segundo, and attempts to slice through Nnoitra diagonally from below, using rugido to vibrate her blade at high speeds.

--

Noct is enjoying being rubbed down too much to pay that much attention, "I'll try to remember that." She said with a smile.

Aera: <Eat this instead!>

*She blows a freezing breeze into his mouth, trying to block it with ice. A few ice spikes start forming on her body to stab into his arms.*

*Iris faces his palm towards the Arrancar and charges a Cero, attempting to blast him.*

*Sab can teleport all she wants. Lilith has already fallen onto the ground. Clearly dazed, she crawls towards her Zanpakuto. Once she grabs the hilt, a blast of lightning explodes at the Hollow's head, breaking off a huge chunk of its mask to reveal a shock of long, black hair & part of a bloodied face. It starts screeching, flying around in eratic patterns & hurling Ceros everywhere.*

<Strongest...you people're really startin' to piss me off!>

*He uses two of his scythes to block Mortal's attack & the other 2 to block Yue's. When he sees that his scythes are starting to crack, 2 more arms dart out of his body to stab into their midsections.*
======================================
*Once finished supplying a liberal coat of sunscreen to all uncovered portions of Noctis's skin, Euryale lays down beside her, turned in her direction.*

"I love you, Noct."
======================================
*The big Arrancar gets up off of her & pulls a Zanpakuto out of his sleeve which, because of his size, looks like a toothpick.*

<What a pain. But I'll need thicker shielding to crush you.>

*The elephant Arrancar also holds his palm out & begins charging a blue-green Cero.*

<I can do that, too.>

*He fires.*

"You have way too much pride for this kind of fight Mortal" Yue disengages in time to narrowly avoid being skewered through the torso but his side is still grazed a bit cutting a few bindings and leaving some cuts in the armor below.

Yue then goes for a brutal rising slash at the arrancar's midsection.

Astarte tried to avoid all of the Ceros while advancing towards the Cero Snake but was hit at near point blank range. She cried out in anger as she was sent tumbling away from her enemy, unleashing storms of lightning in it's direction as she fell.

"Say what you will!" Mortal called out, tanking the stab and doubling the strength she was using to move her blade, "Our bodies and minds may be different, but there is one thing a Hollow never loses: her pride!" At the word 'pride' an explosion of energy erupts from Mortal, accompanied by an Aliento rugir del fuego del Gran lagarto cero from her sword.

--

Noctis blushed a deep red at that, and knew she was showing how embarrassed she was as her pale skin allowed the blush to be seen on her face, and even her chest, "I love you too, Euryale. So much so." With that, she tilted her sunhat back slightly, so the brim wouldn't bump into Euryale as she leaned in to give her a kiss.

*Aera takes the chance to Sonido next to Iris.*

Aera: <These guys aren't kidding!>

*She summons a block of ice between Iris and the elephant Arrancar, so she can try to direct both of their Ceros towards it when they are fired. All the while trying to keep an eye on the big Arrancar, that will definitely try to smash her again.*

*Lilith is still dazed, & now the damn Antlion is after her. Nnoitra takes a step back before the explosion goes off. When the dust settles, he's missing 3 arms on one side, as well as a good chunk of his shoulder. There's also a shallow wound on his other side. His lowest arm re-emerges, a scythe coming from his wrist, & he swings it at the wound he made in Mortal's midsection.*

<Pride? Pride?! What pride could you possibly have, you whore?!>
===================================================
*The elephant Arrancar is hit by both Ceros. His trunk is blown off, as well as his tusks, & he's left feebly stirring & bloody.*

<Hmph. Don't take too much pride in that victory. He was easily the weakest of our lot. Now, breathe, Calderon.>

*His sword glows, & then dissolves, as his body begins to swell. Before long, he reaches a size where he towers over even the Gillians--when haunched over. He has 2 tubes on his back, & a striped white "sac" that makes up his throat/stomach region. In this form, he looks a bit like a whale.*

<This is the true manifestation of my strength. Two hundred Ceros won't be enough to defeat me, let alone two thousand. As for you? Well....>

*He swipes one of his massive hands across the ground, & it cuts through to create a large gorge that exposes the Menos Forest underneath.*

<What hope could you possibly have of defeating me?>

"She prides herself as being stronger than you" Yue says. "The problem is she doesn't understand the meaning of this fight" Yue undoes his blades that he previously wrapped around his waist then lashes out with them and his swords towards Nnoi.

Mortal quicksteps in on Nnoitra, avoiding the bladed part of the scythe, and using scales to block the pole. With one hand gripping the hilt, and another at the back to push, Mortal attempts to stab Nnoitra in chest.

*The fight ends with Nnoitra having a massive hole in his chest & damn near being cut in half, 2 of his remaining arms flying off. He raises his last scythe before falling over backwards, then looks at Mortal with a half-lidded eye. Antlion is about to eat Lilith when Senthose comes flying onto the scene out of nowhere & crashes into the side of its head, causing it to flee. Gio Vega hovers near the Cerosnake.*

<Since we both use 2 weapons, the advantage goes to whoever is faster. Wouldn't you agree?>

*Senthose picks up his swords before standing up. His tentacles then start darting out over the area, collecting Nnoitra's discarded scythes. Gio Vega's eyes widen.*

Yue walks over to what remains of Nnoi's body and plunges his hand into him. "I'll put your legacy to good use Nnoitora. You fought well" and then Yue begins to (presumably since we've never seen exactly how arrancar eat outside of konzui) absorb Nnoitora.

*Iris gradually starts to put more power into his Cero in an attempt to overpower the other Arrancar's.*

Mortal twists her sword free and pulls it from Nnoitra's chest, then swings her sword in an arc to clear it of blood. "Looks like you were far from the strongest," She said, before she looked over at Senthose, "So glad you finally decided to join us."

"One moment."

*As Gio tries to run away, Senthose takes a jumping step, his tentacles trailing behind. He slices at Gio Vega with each sword. Of course he ducks out of the way of both strikes, but one of the unarmed tentacles darts forward & grabs him, giving Senthose time to swing a pair of the scythes forward. Gio transforms into his hulking beast form, blocking the weapons. The next two swing forward, & he blocks those as well. As he tries to block a low swing from the last scythes, Senthose jams a sword in each shoulder, paralyzing his arms. After that, he skewers him with all 6 scythes, palm thrusts into his chin, & bites out his damn throat. As the dead Arrancar is falling, Senthose withdraws his weapons. By this point, Gio, Nnoitra, & their Zanpakutos are beginning to dissolve. He then returns to the ground, near Mortal, to avoid a sudden barrage of Ceros.*

"I literally can't leave you alone for 5 minutes, can I?"
=============================================
*After lying there for several minutes, Euryale gets up, stretching.*

"I think I'll go swimming. Wanna join me?"

Yue finishes absorbing Nnoitora and then finally decides to deal with cero spammer once and for all. Yue draws blade by sliding his hand along his blade and then fires off his very first Gran Rey Cero. An azure pillar of negative energy shoots at the offending cero spamming hollow.

"I was asleep, and the attack was surprisingly quiet in its onset," She said with a shrug.

--

Noctis nods, and takes off her sunglasses, and sunhat, before adding a bit more sunscreen to her face and rubbing it in. "Sure, I mean, we're at a beach after all," Noct said, though in truth she would have preferred to just laze around in the warmth, rather than swim in the cold.

Astarte had landed on the ground and fired a large blast of lightning at the Cero Snake to hit at the same time as the Gran Rey Cero attack.

Enkidu was weighing his options by now. He was at first tempted to attack Mortal.
He had been put off that idea as he thought about it. Astarte and the other ones on the scene were sure to interfere, and with Senthose's appearance the idea died completely.

S"You were asleep. That's. I don't."

A"I think you broke him."

*The Cerosnake dissolves in the blasts. Instead of leaving, Antlion's head darts from the ground, covering the distance toward the distracted Yue in a fraction of a second & opening its mouth wide.*
==========================================
*After swimming out a fair distance, Euryale points downwards, breathes deep, & dives.*
