Espada 6! What are you thinking!?

[Sieghart Rayvnl]

Sieghart raised his hand to the sun, "Why is it always so hot here geez," he said stepping out into the sun and covering his eyes. He slowly looked around getting familiar with his surroundings. There was a slight breeze coming from just west of where he was standing, and if he wasn't mistaken a slight spiritual pressure coming from the same direction. Oddly though, he had expected more, feeling only a mild amount of power radiating, of course he would have to wait for his captain to be sure being not the greatest at detecting power. "Whats taking them so long.. I didn't run that far ahead of them," he said going to sit under a shady tree. "If they don't hurry, I might just fall asleep," but just as he closed his eyes, the gate opened once again and out step his captain.

[Captain Stelevein]

Stelevein stepped out of the senkaimon and stretched. As soon as he stepped out though he was hit in the face with enermous spiritual energy, he could tell it wasn't in arrancars, nor an espada even though he could also tell that there were two espada and what seemed to be a fraccion. No, the spiritual pressure he felt was human. This brought up a lot of suspicion. He thought to himself, "Could they have kidnapped her? No, Arrancar are too cruel to kidnapp someone, they'd rather just kill them, but then what could it be."

He then looked at Sieghart, then to Tsuko he had just recently stepped out. "I feel enermous spiritual energy. I also feel the pressence of three arrancar, two of which are espada, and both seem to be high ranking. though the ernormous spiritual energy does not belong to them, rather it belongs to a human. I don't know what's going on, but best be on your toes. Let's move out toward it." He said to them before walking the direction of the spiritual pressure.

[Enjiiro Senboukun]

When Tsuko stepped through into the World of the living, he noticed a distinct spiritual pressure that could belong to nobody else but a human. This was weird to him because it was a significant level of power that he felt. He could also feel the presence of three arrancar: one felt like a lower level, one like a higher, similar to that of a Captain, and he wasn't quite sure about the third. If he had to guess he would've said it belonged to a higher-level arrancar.

Stele warned them about the spiritual pressures he felt to which Tsuko replied "Sir if I may, one Arrancar is lower ranked, while the other two seem higher. I also feel the humans spiritual pressure, and agree that it's slightly higher than the other three, oddly enough. Be that as it may, we do need to be on our toes because something is odd about this situation." Tsuko then heard the order to move out, to which he responded by follwing Stele to their destination.

(When Tsuko said one is lower ranked he was talking about Tierra. He was correcting Capt. Stele's reading, which is why he said "Sir if I may", so as to avoid being out of line.)

[Kusubanasan]

(I have a lot of posts to respond to I guess? Whew, we're gonna have to talk about some of the material here. But! hehe, let's start!)

Chihiro suddenly grabs Furiko's leg and asks her if she can stick around in the living world, giving Furiko a small amount of surprise. The longing look in Chihiro's eyes makes Furiko think of her own emotions regarding the lack of color in Heuco Mundo. Aside from the lack of reishi in the air, this place is beautiful, and Furiko knows it.

Aww, Chihiro, you two left the meeting so suddenly to come here, right during our meeting! I don't mean to ruin yer fun bu-

Chihiro suddenly lets go of Furiko's leg, and Tierra starts to speak, he bows and then goes off saying nonsensical things about how Furiko was mistaken, when her lecture was perfectly legitimate in context and right. Slightly offended by this mans' arrogance, Furiko places both hands on her hips and turns to face him.

Mister, you're being quite naughty indeed! You did indeed threaten me, by placing that sword of yours in your lap and speaking in an aggressive manner. Were I any of the other Espada, things wouldn't have been very nice for you at all! More along the lines of immediate corporal punishment mister! Furthermore, your actions are NOT under control! If they were, you two wouldn't have come out here and endangered the plan that Boss-kun worked so hard to come up with... I have been following you two around since you got here, reinforcing everybody around us' spiritual pressure all by myself! It's very hard work y'know!

Furiko sighs, and takes another breath, fighting back the urge to let a few tears loose, as she knows what has to be said will likely offend Tierra. Regardless, and with some reluctance, she continues her lecture toward Tierra.

On top of that, all the Espada know about your little power trip, Tierra, and none of us appreciate it. The only reason guys like Koga or boss-kun don't pick on you is because I stick my neck out for you time and time again! Who do you think you are in the first place, sir? If you think you could have become an Espada, everyone else must disagree, since our rankings are based on our power levels! We aren't some kind of democracy or anything, Tierra! Even with that, Tierra, yes I do have the right to give Chihiro orders, unless you forgot, I outrank her; and we both outrank you. You must not be very adequate and sensing spiritual energy if you hadn't been able to notice mine in everyone around you! He wasn't affected due to that! The humans are looking at us now, because I stopped giving them my pressure, and they suddenly feel drained, but yet again; an arrogant fraccion like yourself has no idea what's really going on, do you?

Furiko hates giving that kind of lecture to people, but Tierra is simply out of line. Suddenly, another person begins speaking to them. This person, a small girl that Furiko had seen several times around Heuco Mundo, is apparantly sticking up for Tierra, while asking for Candy. Furiko smiles and wags her finger no, as she had given the lass candy back in Heuco Mundo not all that long ago.

Now now, don't eat too much of the stuff or else you're going to get a toothache, okay? If you go back to Heuco Mundo, I'll see what I can do about your sweet-tooth okay?

Another spiritual pressure begins to spike, and Chihiro grabs Tierra by the arm, and her by the shoulder and runs in a direction that Kierra had pointed. Furiko can sense extremely powerful spiritual pressures there, so in response she digs in her heels, and stops Chihiro in her tracks.

Chihiro, Tierra, Kierra, those spiritual pressures are much too dangerous to run blindly at! It's too late to go back home now, but let's not be too hasty in engaging them, okay? This isn't a game anymore, so smarten up and get ready to defend yourselves! Please keep in mind that those two pressure aren't the only strong pressures in this town... I feel... three more especially powerful people..

The spiritual pressures that arrived obviously belonged to two captains of the Soul Society. Furiko couldn't exactly tell which captains the pressures belonged to, but she could tell one thing. Soul Societies' biggest gun; the Captain Commander has arrived! She resolves to herself to make sure none of her friends get hurt, though she knows it'll be tough given that the three people she's with are all fireballs in their own right.

[Tierra Dios]

(I know it's not my turn, but I couldn't wait to make this post, sorry.)

Tierra calms down quite a bit is indeed not offended by what was said. He really didn't mean offense, but he knew it came off that way. He bows his head once more before speaking to Furiko again.

"Miss Furiko, I apologize for my rude and disrespectful behavior. As I know you have stuck your neck out for me time and time again, I shouldn't treat you with such disrespect, especially me a mere Fraccion. What could I ever hope to become an espada for any way, I'm weak." He said holding back tears of his own before starting again.

"Hell, I can't even protect Kierra nor Chihiro, I'm too weak and doubt I will become stronger, I will always be too weak to protect them.." At that part he couldn't hold back a tear anymore. It slid down his face and he looked up at Furiko, then to Chihiro, and Kierra, then back to Furiko.

"Miss Furiko you must forgive me. Oh, and you're correct, I didn't sense your spiritual energies, but I was keeping mine under control. Alas I guess I must have let mine slip somehow, but even though I couldn't sense it, she could." He said looking at Kierra.

Tierra then got on one knee and again began begging for forgiveness, except this time his voice seemed to be yelling. "Miss furiko you must forgive me, you have to."

[Chihiro 六]

A sick smile rose on Chihiro's face as she had let go of both the fraccion. She had ignored the child for the moment as she wasn't as heartless as others. She had quickly jumped as high as she could and grasped her sword. She had then ran on top of tree's into the tree's as she had then jumped on other human objects. Once close enough she had that sick and twisted smile on her face as she had blurted out "LOST LOTUS!"

Just then a barrage of vines grew from the green and gold sword as she had swung it towards the two captains. She had thought, she can easily take them on as she had let her spiritual pressure go, allowing it to be at its highest and allowing it to be free, already showing that she was the 6th Espada.

She had looked at the captain as the vines had shot out towards them her being in the air. Chihiro's sick smile had widened as she had sensed that these Captains had power, but she could take them on. She had made sure that the vines were sharp, they being green, having large thorns on the sides of them as she had smirked, making the shot head for the first Captain who stepped out.

She had aimed the vines towards the arms and abdomen of this Captain as she had a large smirk on her face, the wider it got, the more sick and twisted her plans for these captains. She knew that they would put up a fight, but hopefully she had Furiko and Tierra on her side as well as the little human child Kierra.

[Kierra Minamoto]

Kierra smiled a bit at Tierra's words. What was he talking about protecting her, after all he had done it so many times before. He always promised her he wouldn't let a thing happened to her and that he'd come out of it alive and managed to keep that promise. So just what on earth could he be talking about.

"Tierra, you have protected me time and time again, you've never broke your promise to me you silly." She said to him before noticing Chihiro Running towards the two captains and the lower ranked shinigami.

"CHIHIRO!!! WAIT!!!" She yelled at the top of her lung. Before she got down off of Tierra and ran for Chihiro. All the while she kept telling Chihiro to wait.

"If you rush them you will surely die, the ones spiritual energy is of nothing I've ever seen before. He will surely kill you, stop it chihiro please." She finished with tears running down her face. She was getting tired of running, but she knew she had to save Chihiro. She just kept begging chihiro not to challenge them like that. Eventually she started crying more so than any one had ever seen before.

[Captain Stelevein]

Stelevein watched as the vine came near him. He could tell that the attack had potential, however she was too hasty in her attack and that is why it would fail. He waited till the vines got closer, as soon as they almost hit, he pulled out his zanpakutou without releasing it and made a quick slash type motion cutting the vines.

"Refract Illuminada." Stelevein wispered, his blade didn't change in appearance, though it was now in shikai. "Prismatic omen." As he said the last part a huge barrier of light engulfed the area where the captains were and all the arrancar including Tierra and Furiko. Usually it'd blind the oponents, but he made sure to keep the light dimmed.

Stelevein sheathed his zanpakutou while it was still in shikai and used shunpo to get right behind Chihiro. He folded his arms and stood there for a minute without speaking. His back was to her, and finally he spoke.

"My arrancar have sure gotten hasty these days. It's not something you should be doing though, I'm sure you can see the difference in our power. If you can not that is your own mistake, I'm simply here to ask you all to return to hueco mundo, however if you do not....." He said pulling out a bottle of sake from his coat.

"Sit down and have a friendly drink with me. There's enough for everyone, I'm sure you don't want to fight." He said sitting down, and pouring a few glasses.

The humans outside his light barrier were starting to come too. And weren't in so much pain from the spiritual pressure, which is simply because he has sealed all spiritual pressure inside the barrier so no one on the outside could feel it. Once stelevein figured this out, he realized something else.

The human he was sensing earlier was now calling out for a Chihiro, and telling her to not be so hasty.

"So the human child is with you; Chihiro. That is your name correct? Well, no matter she seems sweet, and apparently she really cares for you."

[Kusubanasan]

Tierra quickly changes his tune and begins to apologize to Furiko for what he had said. She takes it in stride and simply smiles at him and gives him a caring hug.

There there, it's all okay. As long as you understand oka-

Chihiro suddenly charges out at the Captains who appeared in the area, prompting Furiko to let go of Tierra and chase after Chihiro. When Chihiro attacks and one of the shinigami casually dismisses her vines, Furiko pulls the Naginata off her back with a heavy heart, and floats over to Chihiro's position while she also prepares to engage in battle. Judging by the spiritual pressure that she can sense coming from the two captains, she knows this is a battle that cannot be easily won, and most likely would result in their deaths.

You... you're... Commander Stelevein! Yikes, we really got unlucky this time, eh Chihiro? And this one... he's the one that let that Bount go. I don't really want to fight him...

Furiko is slightly taken aback by Stelevein's conduct. It seems strange for a Captain-Commander to offer a bottle of sake to a Hollow while at the same time erecting and maintaining a barrier. She places her weapon back on her back and sits down using spirit particles in the air to maintain her state of floating.

This is really peculiar... shouldn't you be using that sword to shank me or something? I don't know many shinigami who would just.. offer me a drink..

[Chihiro 六]

"Sake?" Chihiro questioned. She kept her guard up as she had wondered what Captain Stelevein was up to. She had sheathed her sword but held onto it as she had looked at him. She jumped back a bit as she had wondered what this sake was.

She looked at Furiko as she had yawned. "Sheesh...I can never have my fun with you Captains. Always releasing your sword so early. Why? I dunno..hn...And what is this Sake you keep blabbering about?" She had stated not knowing what the drink was.

She smiled at Tierra and Kierra as she had walked towards Kierra, seeing her crying but then she had stopped and gave that sick smile to Captain Stelevein.

"Heh, if this child wasn't here now, you'd be dead!" She raised her voice slightly. She knew she might have lost the battle considering that she was so tired. Chihiro kept her attention focused on the two captains as she had her back turned to them. But then she looked at Captain Stelevein.

"Hn....Interesting...hehe....might be fun to play with you eventually." She had said as she had kept a hold of her sword and shunpo'ed back towards Furiko, her Tierra and Kierra as she had squatted down and grabbed Kierra as she had held onto her tightly, hoping she would stop crying as she hated to see kids cry.

[Enjiiro Senboukun]

Tsuko watched as the vines came toward Stele. When the vines got within a close distance from him he took out his Zanpakutou and slashed them, cutting them down with ease. Tsuko felt a slight burst of energy come from him when he released Shikai, followed by him using Prismatic Omen. Tsuko noticed that nobody had been blinded and figured that Stele was keeping the power low enough so as to not blind anyone.

Tsuko saw Stele sheathe his Zanpakutou and Shunpo behind Chihiro, to which he responded by placing his hand on his Zanpakutou. Tsuko heard him say something to her and thought he knew the gist of what it was about, until he pulled out a bottle of sake. Apparently he wasn't the only one suprised by this because the other female Arrancar looked just as suprised as he did. He was getting ready to ask what the hell Stele was thinking when the female Arrancar beat him to it. She asked in a slightly different manner however, as it wasn't as aggressive as what Tsuko would've said.

Tsuko was getting ready to try and join them for a drink, against his better judgement, but then heard the Arrancar that had been called Chihiro say something about how Stele would be dead already if the child wasn't here. At hearing that, Tsuko pushed the idea of having a peaceful drink out of his head, and refocused himself on the task at hand: making sure the world of the living was safe. Tsuko didn't want any casulties to occur, so as to try and avoid them he said "Look Arrancar, I don't want to have to fight today. We can resolve this in a peaceful manner. Please understand that, although you may not mean to harm humans, sometimes accidents happen; and even though they are accidents they still can't be tolerated." He made sure not to make any other movements that could be considered aggressive, while at the same time staying alert and ready for any conflict, should it arise.

[Chihiro 六]

Chihiro had glared at Tsuko as she had tilted her head at him. "Hmph, whatever. I do what i want, when I want, how I want it. Got i-" She stopped her sentence when she closely examined Tsuko. She had blinked and then got closer to him, her grip on her sword tight. "Hm...I know you..Tsuko Shimasu. Hm...one of the lower ranking butt heads of the soul society HAHA" She laughed as she had then turned around and faced Furiko as she had smiled sickly.

Chihiro yawned, still being tired from the trip as she had shunpo'ed in front of Furiko and her group. Chihiro had kept her grip on her Zanpakou as she had smirked at Tsuko, waiting for a reaction,

[Sieghart Rayvnl]

As his captain stepped out of the senkaimon and stretched, Sieghart stood and dusted off his pants. Listening to the warning Captain Stelevein issued, Sieghart began scanning the area, his hand on his sword. Shortly after Captain Tsuko followed them out of the gate and re-enforced the previous warning with a slight modification.

Sieghart started to sense out with his own perception looking harder than he had previously done and could now fill an overwhelming presence coming from the place his captain had been looking. He couldn't tell exactly who or what, but anything that strong had to be an espada. "Well damn, things just got a little more complicated and why in the heck do they have a human with them." Sieghart voiced his thoughts, replying to the captain's conversation. Taking careful consideration of his position, he was now aware that he was one of the weakest presences here. Standing straighter he raised his chin as he always did when confronted with challenge and remembered his pride as the squad 1 lieutenant. When it came to matters of protecting his friends and the safety of his home he tended to take on a new personality, more like a captain, responsible and honor bound.

Quickly looking to his captain's position due to sensing the dangerous intent aimed at his captain, he watched as his Stelevein drew his sword in a quick slash cutting through several menacing green vines. Sieghart using all the speed and battle instinct at his disposal, quickly located the threat and prepared to end it. If Sieghart had learned anything in his past hundred years of being a soul reaper it was that he knew his limitations. Apart from being only a vice captain, Sieghart was already one of the fastest soul reapers in the soul society, apart from a few captains, and was capable of deadly hand to hand combat techniques due to years of martial arts training and his close range wind Zanpakutou. Unfortunately his speed was not necessary at this moment as his captain proceeded to use his Shikai to get a handle on the situation.

Sheathing his sword Sieghart watched and waited as his captain used shunpo to get close to the attacker and to his surprise offer her Sake. Sieghart looked around to the faces of the new comers who had quickly followed the threat and saw matching looks of confusion upon there faces. Listening to the conversation that persude between the captain commander and the espada he looked over at Captain Tsuko and sighed, "He's at it again, he always does something to surprise me." Laughing he continued, "Oh well, it keeps me on my toes." He then shunpo'ed to his captain and took a defensive seat to the right of his captain, and gestured to a cup of sake. "May I?" he asked his captain as his eyes never left the threat, always prepared to act at a moments noticed in case his captain needed him.

[Kierra Minamoto]

"You idiot." Kierra said as she slapped Chihiro. Kierra still had tears in her eyes because she knew Chihiro was no match for Stelevein, and yet decided to threaten him anyway. What could she have possibly been thinking. She had also tried to tell them that the shinigami meant no harm, however she was too late.

I tried to tell you they meant no harm in coming here, but you moved too fast. You big idiot, I could have lost you forever had he made an attack." Kierra told Chihiro thinking about the difference in spiritual energy she sensed between the two. But, then she picked up a rock and threw it at Tsuko, then picked up another one and threw it at stelevein.

"I swear, if you hurt her I'll kill you myself."

[Tierra Dios]

(((It's not quite the post people would espect, but still)))

Tierra moved from his spot and walked to where Furiko and Chihiro now stood. He was actually quite frightened from all the spiritual energies around him. It was ridiculous, how and why would the big gun captain commander of soul society come to the world of the living. He was sweating a bit at the sudden realization that should they attempt to attack he would surely die. But, he had to protect Chihiro and Kierra no matter what the out come may be.

Tierra stepped forward and faced all the shinigami, he knew whether he fought with all he had or not he'd lose. "Listen, I don't know much about the soul society, nor who you all are. But, I do know that the big gun is here, what I don't understand is why? Why would you be here? You usually don't show yourself unless you have no choice." He finished before speaking again.

"What's more is I can tell your power is immense and I wouldn't last very long in a fight with either of you, except maybe that lower ranked one. My point being is if this get's out of hand and a fight breaks out, I will fight all three of you with all I have to ensure the safety of Chihiro and Kierra, no matter what the cost. And I promise you, I will not stay down until I know they are safe."

Tierra then turned to look at all three of them, Chihiro, Furiko, and Kierra. His look was as serious as ever, and his face was emotionless almost as if he had became someone else. He knew that there would eventually be a fight, but somehow he had nothing to fear. He couldn't even find his fear, which is what really pissed him off the most. Any normal fraccion would feel the fear which he did not. Why couldn't he fear them? Why....there spiritual pressures are far greater then his and he knew it, but why couldn't he fear them.

Was it because the thought of them surviving was driving him to feel no fear. Or was it that he knew his end would be near, and gave up all hope of survival so that he couldn't fear what he knew or thought everyone else would. All he knew the answer to was whether or not he'd let anything happen to Chihiro, Kierra, or Furiko. For in this moment, he knew he'd give his life.
