The sky of Karakura town, seemed like it was being ripped apart, almost in every direction. As the garganta’s opened, and espada, and arrancar poured out, into the sky and streets of the town. In the middle of a park, a small garganta opened near the ground, and out stepped a rather short arrancar. Nova had been called to battle, or rather he had decided to participate. It was very odd for the three thousand year old personal guard to have willingly signed up for a battle. His white robes, were hidden under his dark purple hooded cloak. With a small tap, Nova’s foot made contact with the small patch of dirt.

A lot was on the arrancar’s mind, just why was he hear? Why did he feel the need to be here? All these questions would have to wait. Looking down at the ground and then back to the sky, the sunlight hit Nova’s eyes, and made them seem ablaze. A few pressures could be felt, in the distance, most of them Nova recognized as some of the espada, but there were a few approaching pressures that caught Nova’s attention. “So it has begun.” he said to him self, as he stood there, in the middle of the park, awaiting the arrival of the approaching opponents.

Zane Hataro was sitting atop a small building amoungst all the chaos and spiritual energy that filled the town like a sea of power. Such was quite annoying....He looked past the vast hordes of weaklings and stared where he sensed the largest spiritual energy in the group. They were easily espada level, but did their skill match their power? Did they just have high spiritual energy and nothing else? All would be determined later. Zane wasn't releasing any of his own spiritual pressure yet. He was keeping it concealed so his enemies wouldn't be able to grasp his true level of power.



Zane Hataro pushed his feet against the roof of the building and jumped several meters above his previous location. He landed approximately five meters forward and moved back to a basic standing position. The vizard of the 10th division started pacing forward, his steps silent with the massiv sounds of destruction all around, His face remained perfectly calm. as if there wasn't anything out of the ordinary happening at all. Once he came close to the one power that stood out amoung the rest, Zane sighed slightly and parted his lips, the vizard's voice slightly surpassing the hordes so the arrancar could hear him. " So, I assume you are one of the generals in all this? "

The sudden sound of a voice from behind, would have usually startled most people, but not Nova. He simply looked back over his shoulder in the direction of the voice. The personal guards eyes looked with what he assumed was a vizard, by the feel of the persons spiritual pressure. The relic of an arrancar, let out a sigh, as he shook his head. “I want nothing to do with this war, though it is my duty as a personal guard, to make sure a select few espada don’t get carried away.”

Nova looked at the ground for a moment, before looking back up at the vizard “my fight is not with you, but if you feel the need to battle me, then I will not hesitate to protect myself.” those words sounded odd, coming from an arrancar, but it was true, he had lived for nearly 3000 years, and had been a witness to most of histories greatest wars. Needless to say, Nova had grown to hate war, and really wanted no part of this.

(since it has been over 32 hours, I shall continue this topic, and skip Kyoshiru for the time being.)

So far this seemed to be going slightly well, at least for Nova. The personal guard had chosen not to fight, and the vizard that stood before him, showed no signs of aggression towards the three thousand year old arrancar. Nova turned his attention away from the vizard for only a moment, this wasn’t exactly a smart idea, but so far the vizard posed no threat. “it seems as though the others are engaged in combat, judging by the stress in their pressures.”

Nova then turned back to the vizard, curious as to why he hadn’t attacked yet “tell me something vizard. Why have you not taken any opportunity to attack me?” Nova wasn’t looking for a fight, but it was still odd, every other arrancar involved in this invasion was already in battle. Was it because Nova hadn’t done anything to prevoke a fight, that kept the vizard a bay for the time being?

we will skip hiei's turn now and the post after that and go to zane's post once more. I will hunt kyoshiro and hiei down and sort this out.

Zane Hataro merely examined the arrancar, not intending on fighting yet. If they had no desire to fight in this war, why bother? After all, the two were here for..quite similer reasons, atleast primarily. The arrancar before him was a personal guard to the espadsa,which meant problems that may rise in the future. Parting his lips and speaking briefly in reply, the vizard retorted,"I see....Well, arrancar. I won't fight you directly if you don't even wish to be apart of this war, however, the espada are going to be dealt with, and if you were to try and protect their heads from getting sliced, the outcome would be just as if you wanted to fight. After all, can't let those annoyances pester my race. Ya know? We're scarce un numbers as is..."

Zane Hataro made his point and droped silent for now. He only wanted to end those that attacked his home, and this arrancar obviously wasn't one of them.He sensed the spiritual energies throughout the large town of Karakura. It seemed the espada had already started their attack upon the town....Not exactly a good thing. ...The thing e hated more then these ignorant espada were the shinigami, Though that was on a unrelated nite for personal reasons that came upon his mind. Saying one last thing before deciding to stay or go, the vizard spoke. "Seem's I should be going if you have no desire to fight. The others need dealt with and time isn't something I have alot of,.

(OOC: the two inactive members have been removed, and Shinji has been added in due to the death of his thread xD. So the posting order is now NOVA, ZANE, SHINJI.))

As Shinji flashed stepped towards the reiatsu he was feeling earlier, it suddenly disappeared. 'What the..?" Shinji thought as he stopped in his tracks. He looked around wondering what happened to that reiatsu he was just feeling. Suddenly, he could feel a large reiatsu! no, it was several different reiatsu's, but all quiet large . There was also a couple insane reiatsu, Shinji would actually Quiver from the power that these beings possessed.

As shinji looked off in the distance towards a large reiatsu, something else seemed to have escaped his attention. Their was a pair directly above him a few hundred feet in the air. When shinji caught sight of the pair, he looked up to see who it was. Their was a man with a sword... could he be a shinigami? shinji was sure. What shinji was sure of, was the person that he was the Arrancer.

'Whats he doing? Are they going to fight?' Shinji thought as he readied himself to manifest his bow. He wasn't going to be rash and attack the arrancer with a possible comrade. You couldn't be too sure though, things to tend to fail. Shinji made sure that the guy he thought was a friendly, really was a hostile. Staying where he was at for now, Shinji observed the two, anticipating them to do battle.

Nova listened to the vizard’s words, it was good to know that Nova would be able to avoid a confrontation, but at the same time he felt obligated to stand up for his comrades. The old arrancar looked to the sky, and took a deep breath, what was he going to do? Then something caught the personal guards attention, another presence had emerged, Nova closed his eyes to accurately ready the new arrival. The spiritual pressure belonged to a qunicy, and strong one to.

Nova then looked at the vizard, and wondered what he reaction would be to the sudden appearance of someone else. The personal guard was certain that the vizard wouldn’t attack, he hadn’t attacked Nova, and was even willing to walk away without harming the arrancar.
