Laid Back Destruction

Last but not least, Alejandro appeared to the eastern part of Karakura Town. He had his hands deep into his pockets that sank like a rock into the ocean. He sighed with disguist because the area was "clean" with pure spirit particles and plus souls. Not even a demi hollow was in the scene. So Alejandro had decided to do something he had planned to do for the time he's been here. He pointed his palm right beneath him as he was forty meters above the ground. He launched a bright, white silverish cero from his palm. The cero crashed into a building, caving in several of the surrounding structures around it.

He couldn't cause much destruction at this rate. However, when he performs in his release mode, it was a totally different story. He pulled out a wing shaped saber from his back that had feather like blades pretruding downwards. He holds his zanpaktou horizontally across from his chest with his arm fully extended. His eyes had grown serious for this rare moment. His reiatsu was flowing from his body as a bright white outline appeared upon his figure.

"Fly, Roto Paz!"

Alejandro's reiatsu darkened the sky, causing the clouds to spiral several miles above him. The skies were almost black and the clouds turned into a silvery gray. His reiatsu took the form of a flurry of feathers that covered and concealed his body that cuts his view off from the world. These "feathers" formed a sphere around him before they reformed back to transparent, silvery white reiatsu that revealed a newly transformed Alejandro. He made a brief sigh as his reiatsu continued to flare around him like a rockets flare.

His hair had grown out more, turning into a purebreed white color. His Espada clothes became more fitting with the bottom of his hakama turning into a tail jacket that grows down to his feet. His clothes also gain a white, silky down, meaning it has a smooth feather like coat that's similiar to birds. He gains black boots with a zanpaktou that resembles a feather like blade that extends up to two meters as there's a shield plate on his chest that resembles a bird's beak that points downward.Finally, he grows out a single wing with an astounding wing span of four meters that's folded back until used to fly on the right side.

His eyes lowered half way before closing completely. His lips slowly parted to speak the words of a special attack.

"Pichon Diablo."

It means "Devil Bird". Why is the attack called that? It will all be revealed soon enough. His reiatsu flared even more, sending out innumerable amount of feathers in the area. The subtle winds spread out the feathers throughout the eastern part of town. He awaited a few minutes for the feathers to get settled near the ground and buildings. With a sigh, he opened his eyes with a murderous intent.

"Destrucción Pluma."

The feathers began to glow intensely bright before detonating. The feathers had permeated throughout the east side of karakura town. These very feathers had exploded with great force. Each one demolishing and caving in several buildings at once. Many craters were created from the explosions and columns of energy from the said explosions travelled upwards as a result. The sky lit up from these explosions. Each building was being obliterated Millions of cries and screams were heard. People below pondered on the sudden feathers that seem to fall from heaven. A confusing technique at first until its true nature was revealed.

People were swallowed in flashes of bright light, never to be seen again except as souls. For almost a full kilometer across Karakura and back were nothing left except debris that were lucky enough to be embraced by the dark winds of this day full of wrath and smite. Alejandro was highly entertain, still watching the explosions taking place as wild fires had trailed all over the place and souls lit up the east part of the city. He crossed his arms as small gargatas opened behind him. First came few, then came many hollows that came to feast on the souls. This much reiatsu even attracted Menos Grande, or Gillians, to Karakura Town.

He noticed that some came to the west part of town where he sensed the Cero Espada's, Shishigami, reiatsu from afar. They were soon turned into arrancar by the Cero Espada's release, a feat rarely seen by eyes of those in Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and even the real world. These hollows began to attack these souls, almost fatally killing them. For those that survived, began to turn into demi hollows slowly..and then into true hollows. Alejandro began to laugh in joy for his bretheren to be enjoying themselves and in disguist that not even the shinigami bothered to stop him and his comrades. It seems like this generation of shinigami weren't up to the task of dealing with an actual threat..

The explosions finally ended..almost nothing was left of the east part of Karakura Town. He stayed in his released state, or resurreccion, as he looked down below at his hollows snacking on petty, infant souls with his arms crossed. It was too easy..

Destruction. That is all Penoso saw as he quickly used Hirenkyaku over and over soaring by innocent civilians being swallowed by the hollows. Oh how much he wanted to stop and save them but if he did the main threat would escape. Penoso was after no ordinary hollow or Arrancar, he was after the Primera Espada. The worst of the worst. Hollows were despicable beasts only only this world to be terminated by the Quincy race and the Arrancar were the supposed evolved form of Hollow although Penoso though no more of them than of a Menos. Just a monster.

As Penoso grew closer to the source of the destruction he could see what was causing it. The cause of all this destruction were feathers, exploding feathers? Was this the Primera's style to attack helpless civilians with feathers. The clouds even reflected the evilness of this man. The blackness of the sky told Penoso that he showed no remorse and that it was right of him to kill this man or women whatever it took the form of.

When the explosions finally stopped so did Penoso. He wanted to see what had happened to the citizens of the East end and it was not a pleasant sight. Why were there no one else here helping. What about the Superhumans why were they abandoning their brethren and were the Bounte that cruel that they would let their home be destroyed. Penoso had never felt such sadness,anger and most of all pity at the same time. Maybe they should not have been so quick to choose the Superhumans to form an alliance with them because they wre just as quick to abandon Karakura town.

Penoso was done with emotions now he would give himself to logic and fight The Primera. He would need logic to win this battle because even with logic this could possibly be the hardest battle Penoso has or will ever be in. As he became level headed he slowly acsendened to where the Espada was standing so he was about twenty or thirty feet away. When he rose to this height he outstretched his left arm so it was as rigid as possible and he materialized his bow in hand. It formed like vines hastily growing and entangling in itself forming the shape of a longbow. Once it was formed he moved the bow so his arm was straight and outstretched with the bow pointed to the Espada. A certain hatred dwelled inside of him for the Primera. As a Quincy Penoso only goal in life was to wipe the world clean of all hollows but because of the destruction today he would make it his personal mission to never rest until this thing was dead.

Valintine followed Penoso with ease as they moved from the forest to the town. His face was solid stone as he witnessed the destruction. Inside it shocked him to a degree at the amount of damage that had been done in so little time. At the same time the insane reiatsu the Espada gave off made the destruction unsurprising. It was hard to decide how he should feel so he settled on nothing. He blamed the humans for not being smart enough to run at the sight of the first destruction. He blamed the Espada for attacking in the first place. It was a tie for faults.

He looked at his leader as he manifested his bow. He said nothing though and just watched. He thought it would be best for both of them if he just left and took up a post somewhere else. He looked at the Primera Espada with dead emotionless eyes and flat line lips. Not a smile nor a frown showed on his stoic face. He just looked and wondered. What where would be best. He decided that he knew exactly where to be. Just because he was up high did not mean a shadow was not cast.

He used his Hirenkyaku to get down to the ground and used it again to quickly move to a location about one hundred feet away from the shadow on the ground. His critical and sharp eyes focused on the figure casting the shadow as opposed to the actual shadow. To him it did not matter which he looked at for the shadow would move along with the one it was cast by. He did not summon his bow yet either. He could do it rather quickly so he had no problem with waiting. As usual his trench coat sleeve hid his Quincy Cross.

While he watched the Espada. His heart pounded hard, but he forced it to be quite. He shoved his thoughts back and blocked out the screams of many. He understood their fear. Dealing with something they most likely assumed was the apocalypse. To them he assumed their minds figured the rest of the world was dealing with this same problem. He ignored them though. They were not his problem, the Espada was. They were nothing he should worry himself over. The Espada was. Even in the face of danger, Valintine was banking on calling in an alliance with others who call this town their home for being the first race on the scene to protect this land. Valintine was by no means greedy, but the Quincy needed allies, and those who lived in Karakura Town needed a home. It was a fair trade in his eyes.

((Briefness))

Alejandro looked at the quincy named Penoso. He was obviously upset at the fact that the arrancar caused such destruction in a short amount of time. He didn't know this man was a quincy until he formed a bow infront of him..obviously, he did not know who he was dealing with. His apparel gave away that Alejandro was an Espada to the quincy..but his rank was unknown to all except the Espada.

"Sir..do you know who I am? I really suggest reconsider trying to oppose me. Then again..I did seem to upset you, did I? Oh well..you and your quincy friend better not try to interfere with my duties."

Alejandro turned around, his back now facing the quincy named Penoso. His eyes were closed, contemplating on walking away from the two opposing forces that appeared before him. He took a few slow steps away from the said quincy, walking forward with his head slightly lowered and his eyes completely closed, as if he cut off his conscious from the rest of the world.

(Entry post, so a summarized, simple one with hardly anything to it. I do assure you I will give more effort later on, but, I just did not see a point in going on and on about two bala. My bala equals what Yammy used in the manga, same size, and same power. In case anyone wondered.)

The more frozen the heart the fewer mercy shown, instinct develop into the fundamental decider that led a beast’s actions. He was an animal with the aim of slowly but surely closing his fangs around the embattled prey, which happened to be a Quincy. That creature who stalked was the Cero Espada. It was unknown if the Cero Espada may perhaps actually establish friend from foe, or if he did not care and just wished to destroy everything, regardless of what it was. A swift stirring humanoid entity darted all the way through the sky, at unbelievable speeds, gaining ground on the Quincy, Valintine.

The air quivered when the enormous spiritual presence travelled nearer, as a violent howl ripped through the air, causing massive sound pressure to be created from the sheer volume. As the figure drew closer, his features could be made out. He was a feral and animalistic man, with a violent appearance, beast like teeth, raging eyes, and light brown over the entire upper body. He generated a heavily decorated black sword in his right hand, which was reminiscent to a medieval blade. Then, he shouted with great rage. ”Disappear…die…DIEEEEEEE!!!!” Pointing his left palm out, toward Valintine, while moving in the direction of him. Shishi fired two large, powerful, unearthly green colored Bala.

(( It would be me -.- ))

Valintine's focus was on the Primera Espada, but quickly turned to the ground as he felt a dangerous pressure fill the air. "What the-" That in and of itself was rare as Valintine was not one for words during combat. He prepared his legs as his eyes were barely able to keep up with the swift figure. Due to his high perception though he noticed that the arm was coming and made a move to dodge to attack. He has assumed it was a cero though so he was a bit slower.

Valintine was sorely disappointed in himself when the first bala struck him hard in his chest sending him flipping backwards. He gave no grunts or ouches though. The second bala struck him in his back only sending him farther back. His body eventually hit the ground and he rolled with it until he was able to get his thoughts in order and roll up into a kneeling stance. His dead eyes looked at the Espada before him. "This reiatsu is far beyond what I could have ever imagined..." He mumbled to himself as he stood.

He raised his hand and Bella Morte manifested in all it's black glory. He knew he was never going to outrun this Espada, but as wild as he was maybe he could outsmart him. He had no fancy powers, no fancy mask or second form. These weapons would have to be enough though and he would have to be more aware. Just because Espada were famous for using cero did not mean that's all they could do. Valintine for once viewed this monster before him as something other than a hollow.

Leaping up into the air backwards, so his back was to the scene behind him and his eyes focused on the Espada before him, he fired three arrows aimed at the Espada's chest and four more at his shadow. Bella Morte's special ability. Shadow hits acted like real ones. He landed on the ground once more with more distance placed between the two. This Espada was stronger than the one Penoso faced. Valintine never was the luckiest guy alive, but he'd be damned if he was going to go down without a fight. It was clear Valintine either had to give it his all or go home.

Penoso expected the Espada he was facing to fight him because of course they were hollows and that's all hollows ever wanted, to fight. This one was apparently different but he was still a hollow and Penoso had swore he would kill this thing. As he turned and walked away saying "well..you and your quincy friend better not try to interfere with my duties." Although the thing had said more that was all that mattered to Penoso. It meant that this Espada had a reason for being here other than the destruction or maybe that was the reason simply to destroy. Also, it meant that this hollow was cocky enough to suggest that both Valintine and Penoso would do nothing more than interfere which led Penoso to the conclusion that either this thing was a high ranking Espada or it was really cocky and completely full of himself.

Another surprise came when another Hollow came probably an Espada as well. He had appeared from out of nowhere but when he had shown up you could defiantly see that change in the amount of reiatsu in this area. Penoso only switched his interest from the Hollow in front of him to the other for a few split seconds. Enough to realize he was going after Valintine. Valintine was surely able to hold himself against most hollows but this one seemed possible just as strong if not stronger than the one Penoso was facing. Penoso decided that it would be in his best interest to help the other Quincy after he had finished his hollow of course.

Penoso than differed his attention back to the thing in front of him that had now turned his back on Penoso. This made Penoso slightly more angry for a second but then he calmed down and he returned to a state of no emotions. As he held a deep breath in to relax because he knew he would need it for the fight ahead he used Hirenkyaku to vanish and reappear in front of the Espada so his bow was again pointed at him. As soon as he appeared on the other side he began to fire at the hollow. Penoso fired his bow as fast as he could aiming at the man's lower left leg and working himself up to the right shoulder. In total he fired forty-five arrows before he stopped.

Alejandro's back was turned on the quincy behind him, which now turned to face the Cero Espada. Even though he knew full and well that Shishi Jubei could handle himself, maybe he shouldn't underestimate the quincy. He was never known for that anyway. The arrancar performed an extremely fast sonido to appear infront of Shishi. Along the way to his current destination, he used his long blade to destroy the arrows fired from Valintine with powerful strokes from his zanpaktou.

"That's enough."

He said as he raised his and swayed it from side to side, up and down, and diagnally, repeatedly in a non-stop fasion as he moved the blade to where each arrow was fired to hit on specific locations on Shishi's body, stopping and destroying every arrow using pure swordsmanship and speed. There was nothing but a white blur of his arm and blade as he deflected the said arrows. He turned his head to look at the Cero Espada from over his shoulder and whispered to him to the point only he could hear him.

"We've done what we needed to do. We don't have a reason to stay here. Let's leave them a little "present".

He turned his head around to look at Penoso with an emotionless face.

"Well it seems like it's time for us to go, but before we do, we have a parting gift."

He said as he ripped the chest plate, which was actually his mask fragment transformed when he released his resurreccion. He tossed it up to the air as it oddly levitated. Alejandro's eyes then became blank and white..nothing but an endless void that was the sclera altered by his reiatsu. Only a small portion of the mask fragment was left as that glowed as well.

From the hollow inside of the beak starts to form spirit energy and reishi that soon solidifies, becoming hollow spirit energy. The spirit energy formed a large two headed bird..it was the Primera Espada's dirty little secret.The Bird is all white with the same color down that's similiar to Alejandro, white. It has a hollow hole on its chest. The bird stands about a kilometer tall and several hundred meters wide and in length.

It has a wing span of 2/3 of a kilometer and has talons big enough to pick up two air planes, one in each. Its sclera is black and has a yellow eye color with red pupils. Both heads of the bird also have addition feathers around the neck that appears like a mane with an addition of a "crown" made of feathers that resembles a mohawk. This bird had made a horrifying roar that was mixed with black reiatsu, darknening the area as its voice boomed all over. It was one of the strongest hollows every created..a creation spawned from Alejandro.

This newly created hollow was named Hondonada Volatil Dios. It appeared above the four, but then Alejandro held onto one of the talons until he climbed to the top of the head on the right side.

"I hope you like your present..his name is Hondonada Volatil Dios, Flying God Hollow.."

He said before jumping off, performing an air step as he appeared to be levitating in the air. The bird looked at the two quincy with extreme murderous intent. It made a loud scream, having two large reiatsu spheres, one in each beak. They both fired extremely large and wide cero towards the ground, causing a massive amount of destruction as an explosion trailed the beam. The remaining buildings and people that were buried in rubble and debris were obliterated on a molecular level, similiar to a menos grande's cero, but its power surpassed that of an adjuchas and possibly higher.

They moved the cero toward the two quincy. The cero were at least a kilometer thick and three fourths as wide.The cero fired from this bird was strong, surely strong enough to put unfortunate foes in their place. One cero was fired at Valintine and one at Penoso. Since Penoso wasn't too far away, time to dodge was virtually impossible, but it may not be the same case for Valintine unless he hesistated.

Simutaneously while the cero was fired were a barrage of steel hard feathers that were several hundred meters tall with an extremely sharp point. The arrows fired were dramatically accurate as they launched from the bird's body while spreading its large, massive wings outward with a scream. The feathers were shot out in a variety of ways. These steel hard feathers came out as an innumerable amount. Thousands seemed to fill the air as some trailed beside the cero incase the two quincy managed to dodge it to impale them, even if barely. Theyw ere extremely fast, a river of feathers travelling all around the cero and even travelled ahead of the said cero to ensure escape was incredibly harder.

The rest of the feathers didn't exactly aim for a target, but acted as wide spread projectiles to hit something in the vicinity of the quincy. Some of the feathers hit the remainder of lives on the surface on this side of town, impaling citizens to release their souls and destroying the barely standing buildings that were covered in debris and rubble from other destroyed facilities. Eaach impact made by the feathers made a loud "Boom" and then the piercing sound of steel through concrete and sometimes flesh, but that sound was covered up by other occurings in the area.

Alejandro was proud of this creature he spawned practically from his own body, his own mask fragment! With this beast, a mastery of the sky, there were rarely anyone who could stand up to him. He claimed this beast as a lord of hollows..its name was Hondonada Volatil Dios, the Flying Hollow God. If it was going to prove itself as a lord of the reknown hollows, it was going to be now as it makes its infamous debut appearance to the quincy who were lucky enough to witness its appearance. Why did he summon it? Who knows..but perhaps he didn't wish to see these quincy again, or to give them a strong hint that they have no business trying to stop the Espada.

Alejandro was the Primera Espada for a reason. As the plot thickens, so does the destruction of the town. The bird's immense, vast spiritual pressure caused the sky to stop in its place. The clouds no longer moved, almost as if they were paralyzed in fear. Even some feathers shot into the sky, piercing the clouds and made large swiss like holes that soon stopped expanding due to its spiritual pressure. Oh how Alejandro was a nice person..it was a parting gift the quincy would never forget, even in the afterlife...

(8 AM here, so kind of a half assed out of it post. lol.)

Shshi’s mind and thought process ran on instinct alone, so naturally, he stood poised to dodge the arrows fired from Valintine’s bow. That proved to be an unnecessary reaction because Alejandro had thwarted the attack by destroying the arrows with keen swordsmanship and amazing speed. However, Shishi himself did not heed any of it, keeping his attention focused solely on the adversary. Violent eyes stared coldly at the two Quincy, reminiscent of fiery orbs containing immense passion and rage. His right hand clinched the black sword firmly, while his left balled into an angry fist.

Shishi’s eyes shifted toward Alejandro for only a few seconds, as the latter whispered to him. He did not respond to what was said and in that instant, his sight snapped back toward Valintine. There was an innumerable quantity of suitable strategies useful in the situation, the dilemma was which one would be best to utilize. Days upon days had gone by inside the sanctuary known as the head; on the other hand, mere seconds had passed in the real world. No further time meant for thinking remained, as it was now time to take action.


When Alejandro summoned his Flying God hollow, Shishi immediately shot up, into the air, with great speed, stopping as he reached an altitude in which he would not be caught in the mighty beast’s assault.

“Caza…”

He muttered to himself as a massive Darkness rushed forth from his body, flooding the entire area of one hundred feet around himself, Alejandro and the two Quincy. The Darkness covered up all light, even the sun could not penetrate it, and the eyes of all inside became useless for a short while. All that remained was overwhelming, eerie Darkness.

The Darkness formed into sixty-six Spectral Dogs, each with an ever-shifting coat of green fur, appearing to be almost amorphous, rank breath, elongated razor-sharp claws and fangs, and demonic looking red eyes that shone with an eldritch glow. The most prominent feature of the Dogs of Darkness was the unearthly growls echoing from them, and the seemingly endless amount of saliva dripping out of their mouths.

Thirty-three of the Dogs charged at Valintine, closing in from all angle making escape very difficult, and travelling at speeds not even Jubei himself could accomplish. The other thirty-three charged toward Penoso also from every angle and at the same speed. The hounds were mentally connected to Shishi so they would continue to give chase even if the Quincy managed to dodge, and thus their movements were not random. Although that was the case, their true purpose was to get close enough to the Quincy so they could explode. While physically dangerous, that was not their true power, and Shishi was the only one who knew this. He was the only one who knew that once close enough, the dogs would explode resulting in an incredibly powerful force of the pent up energy being released at an area ten feet wide of where they currently were and from all directions and angles. They were made up of extremely unstable Dark Energy and Dark Reiatsu after all.

The Dog’s movement and charge was timed perfectly coordinated with Alejandro’s Flying God Hollow’s own attack, this caused the odds of actually dodging to decrease even more drastically.

Valintine remained steady and calm as the arrows were defeated. He did not really expect any of them to hit, nor did he want them to. Valintine had gained more information in that one cancellation of an attack that he could by sitting down and talking to them. He was a strategist above all else. His mind worked to figure out situations and how to best handle them. To do so he needed information. He needed to know the problem inside and out. He learned a great deal just now.

For starters the Espada were very likely in the top four. Their reiatsu flare was way too high to be anything less according to his studies. Secondly they worked as a team despite the animal nature of the Espada who shot the balas at him. They seemed to operate under one "roof" if you will. They watched each other's backs and worked as a team. Thirdly the Espada Penoso shot at was either the master or the slave of the one Valintine was mixed in with. He got this fact by seeing how Shishi reacted to Alejandro's attack. Either they speak with words unheard by the Quincy, or they have already done this before. Nonetheless it was evident that one held the leash and the other was on it. Fourth in line was the fact that Alejandro was the mastermind behind this. It was clear by the way he reacted and the way he seemed to know what would happen. No subordinate would know such information for it was not their place to. Valintine could only guess that the same "rule" applied to the Espada as well, but this raised the question of who was the master and who the slave? Shishi's reiatsu was wild and untamed, but Alejandro summoned a beast who froze the sky.

Valintine's body was not shivering, nor did he fear as he was surrounded by darkness. He enjoyed it, relished in it. He smiled to himself as the cero was shot at him and he heard the dogs coming. Part of Valintine's training was shooting in the dark, so despite his lack of sight his hearing was enhanced to very high degrees. He did not hesitate as the attacks were synced together to make one massive attack. This only enhanced his theory about them speaking some unheard language or communication, or them having done this before. By his count from hearing there were at least thirty dogs, maybe more. Thirty dogs plus one cero equaled little room for an escape. Unless he acted now. Before his eyes were useless he made a mental note of the angel of the cero and the feathers. It would be needed, but he was sure the feathers would keep coming even if he lived.

Valintine's eyes had noted the angel of the cero and the speed. It also noted the speed of the feathers. It was at least up there with bala somewhere as they had no problem flying past the cero, but then again cero wasn't exactly a speedy attack. A plan clicked in his head almost as quick as he saw the attacks launched at him. He jumped to the side firing about twenty arrows in a circle as he spun. Their target was the dogs, but he could only fire where he heard them. He was unsure of if his arrows would event graze them let alone stop them, but it was worth a try. He missed the cero due to this but suffered a cut on his stomach from one of the feathers. It was impossible to avoid getting hit here. In his hesitation he was cut again twice on his thigh and his shoulder. The cuts barely missed tendons, but it was close enough that Valintine was uncomfortable. One of the dogs clearly was not hit by any arrows and he had only moved into it's path. It exploded releasing it's pent up energy in blind furry. Valintine was launched back a lot farther and with more damage than he would rather.

His ears heard the sharp and feint whistles of feathers as they cut through the air. He still couldn't see and he was sure his arrows would not be enough to cancel their attack so he did what he could to dodge them as he gathered energy from his surrounding area preparing to attack. He would have to avoid thirty dogs, unseen feathers, and probably another cero attack which can come from three different sources, four if you include the second head of that bird. Unlucky him though he slacked for just a second and ran right past one of the dogs that were planning on coming for him. He felt the sudden release of the stored energy and reiatsu, and inwardly kicked himself for slacking. He'd have to do better. Much better.

The dog exploded releasing all of what it housed. The dark energy's impact was lessened due to him absorbing dark energy for his attack needed, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt like hell. Getting hit twice by an explosion standing not even three feet from the source was NOT fun in the least bit. Valintine could hear feathers coming and felt three cut through his flesh. One went across his chest, another went across his arm severely weakening it, and another went across his cheek. He was thankful for the last one. If he had been shot away any slower it would have been dead by now. This did not mean he relaxed though. As his body flew into, and through, the wall of a building he crashed onto the floor and quickly rolled over to avoid any possible incoming arrows. He heard the piercing of one arrow and rolled the other way. He needed to get up and get outside.

He quickly scrambled to his feet but another feather broke the building and Valintine barely escaped it, but he didn't truly escape it. He was almost about to dodge it, but the feather's edges cut him in such a fine line it took a while for his nerves to register they had been damaged. Pain coursed through his upper back but he had to get outside. Firing three arrows he broke a new hole through a wall and quickly went out into the streets. He had a plan but by the looks of things it wasn't going to go off without a hitch, if it went off at all. He was cut in several areas and had taken a great great deal of energy from an explosion. He could hear the dogs still and feel Penoso's reiatsu, but how long could they really hope to last in this Espada-made Hell?

As the Espada in front of him disappeared reappearing in front of the other one Penoso obtained an idea. They clearly wanted to help each other and even though Penoso's attack had been ignored as if it were nothing he got what he wanted. He now knew that Espada would help each other at least Espada would. But it might only be the one Penoso was fighting at the moment because of the other one wild reiatsu signature. If they did survive this and the Espada did not Penoso would have to study them further but for now he had a fight to win. As his arrows slammed against a nearby building crashing the wall down he turned his attention to what exactly the two hollows were doing.

They were saying something to each other or at least the protective one was but Penoso could not make it out. Than out of nowhere the leader of the two as Penoso presumed floated higher into the air and he started to do something. What exactly he was doing he could never guess. The thing was forming a "hollow bird" like animal. When the bird became fully formed Penoso was truly amazed. This bird has seemed to form out of reiatsu it's self it was quite amazing really. Then the sky seemed to stop as if father time himself had pulled the plug. The area grew dark and as it did Penoso saw what was coming his way. A cero huge as a Menos Grande's cero which was really intriguing. The bird seemed to have two heads so Penoso assumed that a cero was also fired at Valintine but he could not see.

As the cero grew closer Penoso noticed that feathers seemed to be flying through the air but that was not his main concern at the time. He aimed his bow to where the cero was coming knowing he would not have enough time to get out of the way as it was so close to him. He quickly drew a Seele Schneider as placed it in his bow. He fired it directly in the centre of the cero as sense it used reiatsu to power itself it did survive longer than a normal arrow would. But like any item would it only lessened it the smallest amount and slowed it the lowest possible before combusting because of to much energy and the sheer force of the cero. Penoso did this a total of six times in quick session before he both ran out of the Seele Schneider and the cero was to close. The cero had somewhat been depleted and slowed but it was still a cero. Right before the cero struck him he dropped as fast as he could to the ground below. The blast struck him in the leg because he had fallen face first to the ground. His left pant leg was totally destroyed and his leg badly burned. Penoso fell to the ground with a thump as a feather flew past his ear cutting it the slightest and causing it to burst out in blood.

When he rose from the ground he no longer had a look of fascination he had a look of determination. Then out of nowhere he heard the sound of dogs, dogs running toward his general position. Why would dogs be here? Did they get trapped? No, that couldn't be do dog would be stupid enough to stick around let alone run towards the first person that landed on the ground. With a limb he quickly found his way up the stares of a nearby building onto the rooftop.

Once there he barricaded the door as he dodged feathers flying past him. He relied mainly on his sense of hearing to dodge the feathers as his sight was mostly gone from the darkness. But the dogs did not come from the stares, they came from the air they were flying dogs. Did the apocalypse really come that animals that seemed to have the bark of a devil can fly. As one bark neared him he shot four arrows at it and it explode. Luckily it was only on the side of the building when it did so the building did not topple but it soon would as much damaged had already been sustained and now with the explosion it would soon fall.

Penoso grabbed a silver tube from his pocket as his began to crack it he also began an incant. "Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Sacred Bite!" Was the incant he spoke. As he spoke the last word a transparent, rectangular beam of energy flew forth. As soon as it was out Penoso used Hirenkyaku to teleport onto of the rectangular beam of energy. Once there he used it almost as a surfboard flying through the air as he plowed through one of the dogs. He did not know if it exploded or even if he hit it that was not his task. Penoso was flying towards where he thought Valintine would be if the Espada would going to team up so would the Quincy. They could no longer stand alone they had to fight together to survive this or give up which was never an option.

((Going to make this brief...didn't state which feathers you dodged in the quote or how you did so)

Quote :

Valintine was launched back a lot farther and with more damage than he would rather.

His ears heard the sharp and feint whistles of feathers as they cut through the air. He still couldn't see and he was sure his arrows would not be enough to cancel their attack so he did what he could to dodge them as he gathered energy from his surrounding area preparing to attack.

As much as the quincy named Valintine tried to dodge the feathers, these collosal projectiles managed to impale the quincy in the chest,presumably the lung, slamming him into the ground in the process as a large crater appeared below Valintine.The rest of the f eathers hit his body to the point where it hit major organs in the upper abdomen. One quincy was down..another one to go.

Penoso had fell victim to a cero that was aimed right at him. Alejandro lightly gasped in surprise. This quincy was smart to use a seele schneider to weaken the cero, but it was completely diminished. The cero hit him in the leg as he tried to dodge, falling face downward towards the ground. However, feathers were travelling all around the cero *stated in first post*, thus, when Penoso fell face first downward, he fell into a river of steel hard feathers that lacerated his body. The said feathers decapitated him, his head being the first to go as it, along with all the tissue and bone, was smeared along the trace of the feather, like a bug hitting the windshield.

The Primera Espada, Alejandro, had shook his head with a laugh along with a hand over his face. These quincy were too foolish to face the top dogs in the Espada. He was proud of their effort, oddly, but it only made him laugh in the end. His god bird hollow had roared before turning around to face Alejandro and Shishi while folding its wings back.

"Good boy.."

He said to his "pet" or "partner" as he crossed his arms once more, his blade still in hand. He faced Shishi.

"You ready to go?"

He asked of the Cero Espada..without his help, things wouldn't have been too easy.

The effort Valintine and Penoso took to come out into the open to face the two strongest Espada was within the category of admirable. Unfortunately, for them it was also exceptionally unwise and only hastened their deaths. Truthfully, Shishi cared naught of the Quincy’s’ endeavor for the reason that destroying them had to happen, no matter what. They were a threat to not only his existence but Jubei’s as well. There was not anything more to it than that, what is more, is that he could not rest until every trace of the two Quincy was mercilessly annihilated. Therefore, like the ruthless tyrant he was, the Cero Espada felt strained to rectify the situation, and purge that, which remained.

The Hounds of Darkness gathered at two areas, one group went to where Penoso’s carcass laid, or at least what was left of it. The second group rushed to were Valintine’s cadaver lay, lording over his dead body as if they would devour what was left of him. Hellish growling filled the air and soon so did demonic howling. As if giving some sort of sign, the Cero Espada raised a clawed hand into the air, and at that very moment, all of the Dogs exploded creating a massive burst of energy. The sheer destructive power was something not even five of his Cero combined could accomplish, truly a magnificent sight.

Pointing an outstretched palm in the direction of the general area where the two Quincy had fallen, he curled his fingertips inward of said palm. As a globe of orange hollow Reiatsu began forming over the palm, it was quad focused, a colossal amount of power even for a Cero. When the Cero was fired it was an orange immense wide arc beam, hitting the ground, and causing a massive amount of destruction. This Cero was no ordinary one, it was the Cero of a former Vasto Lorde turned Arrancar. A released Cero Espada’s Cero, but more importantly it was his. Intellect had its place on the battlefield, but extreme violence always prevailed in the end, at least that were true when the enemy was just as smart as you were.

Shishi was still holding his black sword in hand when Alejandro has asked if he was ready to depart. Turing his body to face the Primera Espada, Shishi said, “yes, brother. I am ready…Let us depart.” Those words were spoken with more warmth than formerly seen, a sign that aspects of Jubei’s own personality were flooding into Shishi. Oddly, his mind worked in ways no one else could understand. As even, he himself did not understand himself. Two people in one body, one mind…it was baffling.

((I'm sick, so this will be brief))

Alejandro resealed his powers, his bird disappearing as well while this happened. He opened a garganta that lead to the forest of menos. He could feel something wrong..Rykira's spiritual pressure disappeared..for good.

"It seems like Rykira died. Oh well. He's played his role, so he's no longer needed."

He said as bright yellow eyes pierced through the darkness of the garganta all the way from Hueco Mundo in the forest of menos. Hollows came crawling out once Karakura Town felt familiar to their "home". Parts of the town attacked by the espada became hollowfied. The sky remained dark as more hollows spilled out. He opened another garganta that lead to las noches. He gestured ShiShi Jubei to come with him as he walked through. Karakura town's population drastically reduced in a day was something no one would even think of happening.

The black blade in his hand disappeared as Shishi resealed his powers, his vast spiritual pressure and spirit energy drastically decreased as a result. The full power of his released form and hollow powers were once again sealed as a Katana and Wakizashi pair, which he quickly placed in their respective sheathes. The zero roman numeral, marking him as the Cero Espada, changed back to a ten. He had noticed that their comrade, Rykira, had fallen in battle. That just meant there was some spiritual being lurking out there, one that was not a Quincy, who had responded to their assault. It made him wonder where the other races were at that time.

“If he died so easily, then that just means he was not suited to be an Espada. He played his role, though, and well at that. That is all that matters. Therefore, it is of no matter…He is no longer our problem.”

With that said, Shishi followed Alejandro through the garganta.
