Crash at Karakura - Mission [Luciérnaga, Noi and Vladimir only]

(( OOC: This thread happens before this whole "Attack on Karakura" event. ))

With no sound, a small rip started to form in the midnight blue sky. It was evening, and everything was quiet. The weather was still, no rain nor any coldness. Just a gentle breeze which lazily pushed a few small clouds over the darkening sky. The rip which had formed quickly got bigger until it would be big enough for a full grown person to walk out of there. Little did the humans which lay asleep in their homes know about what was about to enter their world. And little did the Shinigami know that the Arrancars were starting to take matters into their own hands. Through this black hole stepped a tall, slender woman with slightly golden skin and long hair which had the fiery red color of greedy flames. Her rich brown eyes scanned the surroundings before she stepped elegantly away from the hole and waited for her companions to follow behind. The breeze tossed a few of her long and silky smooth locks around while also pulling lightly at her clothing. The newly formed tattoo on her hip which showed the number 5 gave a clear hint of that this was not someone to take lightly. She had recently stepped into the ranks of those which were of the respectable Vasto Lorde rank. And damn did that feel good. A small smirk ran over her lips, before she shrugged it off and focused on the task before her.

The red head stepped slowly forward, just a couple of steps away from garganta before stopping and "listening" with her senses. There was no particularly high spiritual energy detectable at the moment, so the start of their infiltration was still hidden from the eyes of the Shinigami and whatever silly little things out there which took the job of defending Karakura. Truth be told, Lucy didn't really care much about the humans nor any other races for that matter, so she didn't really care if they lived or died. But having been given a mission by Incognita was a great honor and so she was going to carry this mission out in a perfect way. There were many things which could be said about Lucy's rather carefree and humor-filled personality, but one of them was not a slacker when it came to missions. "Oi oi, you guys coming?" Her voice didn't have a hint of annoyance even if her words were meant for the other 2 to hurry a bit up. With her on this mission were 2 Espada which she had never really been around before. But she had heard things about them. Espada number 7. Noi Vorace... a bit of a carnivore that little girl. She better not try to gnaw on my feet or something. It will be interesting to see what she's made of.

And then it was the new Sexta Espada. The one who just recently got her old seat. Vladimir Tristan. He was apparently one of those males which thought he was a "God's gift to women", and it made Lucy wonder if she would have to scorch him a bit if he had a "Happy hands" moment when around her. But since he has reached the 6th seat, then I will also look forward to seeing what he's capable of. Now the big question would be if they would behave and do as told. As she was not going to take it lightly if she had to be a babysitter for 2 Espada which couldn't control their urges. If it would come to that, then she would have no problem with coming back to Hueco Mundo alone and informing Incognita that the other 2 had had a small ... accident and wouldn't be returning.

Noi appeared from the garganta only seconds after Luciérnaga had finished shouting, Her lips were curled in an excited grin and her eyes didn;t keep still for one moment as she scanned the world around her. She had never been in this world as a concious and thinking creature, everything was new and unknown. Though looking at stuff she did recognize allot of things, the sky was dark here to and the moon still shown bright in the dark sky. To her surprise something else was in the sky small white dots of light, having to wait on Vlad anyway she stretched her arm out towards them seeing if she could touch them. With a sigh she lowered her arm as she found out they were farther away then she could reach.

Quieting down abit she turned to Luciérnaga "So what are we supposed to do? Something about eating a few 'shinigami'?" She used pesquisa as she waited for an answer getting an idea of how strong the people around were.

Vlad stepped from the garganta and looked around. He smirked at the sight of the town and turned to Lucy and Noi. His mind wasn't set on females for once, but on the task that awaited them. He he licked his lips in preparation. He grabbed the hilt of his blade, a resounding chink being heard by the metal wrapping around most of his body. He cursed under his breath.

He smirked again and stood straighter. "Shall we get to work, ladies?" He asked, an excited look in his eyes. He had been waiting for a chance to kill something for a little while now, so this mission was the perfect outlet for his needs. He moved slightly off to the left, spreading out from the other two, sensing no one but them in the immediate area. He smiled. "This is just too easy."

Surely enough, the other 2 Espada appeared. And were already all over the place so to speak. Lucy's right fist got clenched before it came lightly in contact with Noi's head. A small boink which would at worst give a small headache for 1 minute for the 7th Espada. "Weren't you listening to Incognita-sama? We are supposed to kill, KILL, 5 Shinigami. And if they get eaten then the evidences of their corpses get ruined don't they? So that means noooo eating. Alright?" She couldn't help but chuckle a bit, this girl seemed to be a bit.. cute in a weird way. Perhaps not a fitting way to think of another Espada, nor the way to treat her, but Lucy was kinda clueless as to how she should approach that little T-Rex wannabe. Ade ade.. Coming outside to the human world was like holding a bone in front of hungry dogs, waving it slowly around while waiting for their patience to snap as they would pounce the goodies. These two were a -bit- fixated on the whole killing thing, almost making Lucy sighed a bit out. What fun was there in just killing and getting it over with?

Her eyes followed Vladimir after as he got a bit further away from her and Noi, making Lucy arch a slender eyebrow in a slightly disapproval way. "Hey mister, don't be too eager. If we get spotted then things are game over. Got that? Even if those we are coming after probably wont be a big deal to snap in half, then that doesn't mean there aren't some worthy of fighting also around. And they are exactly those that we will be avoiding." Geez, what happened to all politeness which used to be so common? Like giving names, saying "pleased to meet you", or just perhaps wait for your current mission leader to give some briefing? Groaning softly out, the red head lowered herself a bit down, towards the ground. As her feet touched the solid material without a sound, she half closed her eyes and let her improved Pesquisa run free while she knelt down and placed a single finger against the ground. "There are 2 Shinigami stationed around 3.5 km to the west." Her voice was but a low murmur, but probably loud enough for them to hear if they had followed and were intending to listen. She moved upwards and nodded to herself. These Shinigami she had spotted seemed of the right rank. After they would be taken out, she could track 3 more down with her very eager companions.

"Let's go. We stick together at least for now while I still don't know where I have you guys. Even if Incognita-sama trusts you enough to be on this mission, then it doesn't mean I have to." She wasn't meaning to be rude or giving and suggestions that they weren't trustworthy, just pointing out that this was something she was not going to be messing up. And that they would definately not be allowed to mess up. In a swift flash she was gone, before appearing a bit ahead, using her Sonido to travel quickly while wondering if they had in mind to protest against her or if they would just follow. Even if they were also Espada, then she was the one who had been put in command.

Due to the excitment of going across the Garganta she had kinda tuned out of Incognita's instructions, A hit to her head was the reward for her earlier question. Still feeling a slight sting she listened to Luciérnaga as she scanned the area with her personal pesquisa. It didn't take long for her to find the targets. With a mention of the area where they were Noi used her own Pesquisa, true hers wasn;t as fast as Luciérnaga's yet with the location she could find the targets. "Too bad we can't play with the stronger ones" She was thinking how she should kill them. "So only biting is of limits right?" She grinned as she cracked her fingers. She couldn;t wait for the slaughter to begin, blood staining the floor and her clothes. That feeling equal to that of biting in fresh meat, the feeling of trembling felt through a blade when stabbed into a cowering victim. The feeling of stabbing a live victim and slowly feeling the life draining from his body.

Vlad seemed to want to run loose, yet Noi had no intention of going of on her own. The world around her was new and unknown and Luciérnaga seemed to have been here before so it would be best to explore by following her. Noi felt more excited by every step she got closer to her prey, she started to wonder how strong these shinigami are. She had heard many rumours about them from numero's, they had told her they seen them within Hueco they had rivaled the former Espada. Yet the strength she had just felt with her Pesquisa was nowhere near the level of Espada, maybe they had levels just like arrancars. Using her Sonido she followed after Luciérnaga, with the speed it wouldn;t take long before they got there.

Vlad listened to Lucy discipline Noi and smirked. He turned around to face them, and saw a disapproving look on Lucy's face as she turned to him. He cocked an eyebrow as she addressed him, he nearly spoke back but managed to hold his tongue, As she was a higher up. "Yes Ma'am, I understand that. I was going no where, you have no need to worry. I am focused on our mission, and nothing else." He replied when she had finished speaking.

As Lucy and Noi descended Vlad followed, and when he touched down he turned his head in the direction Lucy had indicated. He smirked again, anticipating the beginning of the mission, the true beginning, when blood is shed. He nodded once to Lucy as she took the lead, falling into step behind her. He was ready for this, and he didn't care that his leader didn't trust him, as he didn't trust her fully himself.

Vlad looked at the other two and hoped he would at least be able to get in one kill, as he was a greedy man, and he wanted to be able to savor the taste of victory at least once on this day.

Well now, that was a bit easier than I would have expected. In truth, Lucy had very much been anticipating at least 1 of her companions to object or say anything to try and provoke her. But in fact, they fell on her heel as she moved swiftly. Both seemingly just as nice as freshly tamed dogs. But I know how hard the Arrancars can bite even when pretending to be tamed, they are not creatures which I would turn my back on easily. And it was probably in a very literal sense when it came to the 7th Espada. Lucy did not envy those that got gnawed on by Noi. Not the least. Perhaps it was a bit comical for Luciérnaga to think in such a way, as if she herself wasn't an Arrancar. But it was very true, for she seemed to hold a very different mindset than most the others she lived with and around. But it seemed that perhaps the rumours were a bit overblown about the other 2, she had yet to see a reason to really start groaning and moaning about her fate having been chosen as their leader in this mission. But well, the killing was still left. She could just imagine how that would end up. I suppose I will fall a bit back, allow them to enjoy themselves a bit. That way I don't have to keep a tight leash on them, unless of course it's impossible to sate their thirst for blood. In that case, I will most definately show them how much my flames can burn. It also gave her an opportunity to study the way they fought.

It took them but few seconds to move until Lucy stopped and stretched her arm slightly out as if to make the others stop also. They had stopped at the lone roof of an abandoned factory. The Shinigami were in sight not too far away, but still far enough for them not to notice the danger which lay ahead. Naturally Lucy and her fellow Espadas were hiding their Reiatsu's, but she wasn't sure how advanced Noi nor Vladimir were in that area. So this was close enough for now. It seemed that the Shinigami were stationed on the rooftop of an old library, and this place wasn't exactly in the heart of the town, so a good place indeed for a battle. Sitting with his legs crossed was a blonde Shinigami with fair features as far as Lucy could tell. His Zanpakuto lay on his lap as the man was seemingly addressing his companion. The other man seemed to be of a bigger size than the other, having short black hair and dark sunglasses which hid most of his face. His Zanpakuto was sheathed across his back. Well, guess it's time for me to observe. And butt into matters if need be. She held no content, no anger, no particular hate towards these males. So to her it was meaningless, if not for Incognita's orders, to kill them. She rarely if ever took pleasure in meaningless battles, and frowned upon the thought of fighting someone who was obviously weaker than she was herself.

"Well, this is your chance to shine. Show me what you both got, and do so in a manner that wont have the whole Soul Society at our tails." She waved towards the Shinigami in question as if she would wave towards a casual meal. She then proceeded to cross her arms, while having a non-readable expression on her face. "Just remember to leave the corpses in a state that will allow the Shinigami to recognize them as one of their kin." Her words were pinpointed towards Noi, whom was probably already imagining the tasty flavour of the Shinigami meat.

Arriving at the scene Noi looked at her prey, She had learned to suppress her Spiritual energy to the minimum as prey usually ran when they sensed any. Not paying attention to the one having his zanpakto out on his lap, Noi had set her sights on the strong looking big guy. Noi grinned at the words of Luci, though now she was left wondering about the taste of shinigami, she was allowed to stretch abit. She turned to vlad "You can have the blond guy" With those words she blurred away. Using a small sonido as a run up she used a second to accelarate fast and far. She landed excactly infront of the guy with black hair, she grinned with her red eyes filled with bloodlust. Before the guy could react she had grabbed his face and used a third sonido to jump of the roof and smash the guys head in the parking lot behind the library. She made a small jump back to let the guy stand back up, she wasn't expecting the guy to have suffered to much damage. As she held them in high regard, the image of shinigami were those of the espada, so this one should have come threw this without a scratch.

It seemed to be taking pretty long, it had been a minute already and the guy wasnt standing yet. Suddenly the figure rose as the sound of blood splattering on the ground could be heard. The man stood up slowly, blood seeping over his chin. Without a moments thought he drew his zanpakto and slashed at Noi. The blade moved quick and silentm "I am a swordmaster in training and you dirty hollow will pay for your insolence" The sound of the blade hitting Noi made a hollow thud. The blade rested upon Noi's forehead, not a drop of blood seeped from the impact. "Is this all? I thought shinigami were stronger then this" Noi wondered if he hid some of his power. The man withdrew his blade from Noi's head and put his hand on his blade "Blast....." With the slight surge Noi knew that they might detect something odd and before the man could finish she rammed her hand into the mans gut. Blood splattered out from the mans gut as Noi's hand was planted into it. "You think this can stop me" Blood gushed from the mans mouth as he said those words. "Colpo di fulmine" A beam of lightning shot threw the man's back and into the ground. The body dropped lifeless from Noi's hand onto the ground, licking the blood from her arm she seemed abit dissapointed. "Maybe he would have been stronger if i let him use that blast thingy"

Vlad arrived last at the spot where Lucy had decided to stop, his spiritual energy suppressed to almost nothing. He was nearly insensible, but highly trained individuals would be able to find him with ease. He listened to Lucy, and grinned happily as she told them to take out the two shinigami on the rooftop. Noi seemed a little happier than him, as she took off almost instantly, and yelled for him to get the blond one. He shrugged and followed Noi, sonidoing closer to the rooftop.

As Noi grabbed her target Vlad cursed, not being close enough yet. He quickly made up time, and caught the blond by his throat, and slammed in into the rooftop, leaving a sizable crater. He smirked as he jumped back and waited for him to get back up. As the male stood up Vlad gripped the hilt of his blade, and waited. the other male seemed to have lost his Zan when Vlad and choke slammed him. "Lose something?" He asked, nudging the blade with his toe.

Vlad flipped it at the Shinigami who caught it and scowled, obviously not understanding why Vlad had returned his weapon. "Foolish mistake you made there, hollow." He spat out the last word as if it was a curse. Vlad chuckled, pulling his blade out of the chain link and jumping, throwing it at the male.

Vlad's blade was attached to the chain, and as it flew at the male, Vlad twisted, making the chain unravel from his body, the blade moving like a pendulum, too quickly for the male shinigami to keep up. Vlad now had his blade fully free, the male all cut up. Vlad held his sword in his left hand, his scythe attached at the other end in his left. He smirked as he tossed the scythe past the shinigami.

the shinigami seemed to have no idea why Vlad had done this and shrugged charging forward. Vlad smirked, and his eyes showed a glint of Malice as he yanked viciously on the chain, pulling the scythe back at an incredible speed. "ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN!!!" He called out, not to loudly, as the scythe cleanly severed the males neck. Vlad clucked his tongue as his head rolled over to him, and he crushed it under his boot.

Vlad looked over at Lucy and smiled. "Did you like what you saw? I know you were taking notes on how we fight." He sonindoed back over to Lucy, and sighed. "Hopefully the next group will be a bit more challenging, don't you agree?"

As expected, then Noi rushed forward first while claiming to get the dark haired male. Lucy remained motionless as her keen eyes took in what would be happening. Noi seemed to be the type to always rush in, and using direct brutal attacks. And they were seemingly very effective also. Lucy counted the seconds slowly before the Shinigami stirred after having his head smashed against the concrete. As I thought, these ranks don't have anything in the Espada. She was on alert for any type of presence that would be coming closer, perhaps someone too curious for his own good that would hear some of the ruckus. As she held this still, she had her Pesquisa activated and searched the whole area around. But it seemed they were truly just alone to their business. As the Shinigami made a blow towards Noi with his blade, the red headed 5th Espada shook her head a bit. Clearly these idiots had not been given the information about Arrancar's Hierro. As expected, the only thing that happened was a small thud being heard and then his sword slid away. "I would have surely expected them to be more informed of their enemies than this. But perhaps it can't be helped since they are of such low rank." After his useless attack, Noi was quick in killing him. But she seemed to be somewhat disappointed. Not something that truly surprised Lucy. The Septima had probably been looking forward to having more fun.

Now as that part was done, Lucy put her attention towards Vlad. Even if it had been like her eyes had only been following Noi then she had also been watching the male closely. He, like Noi, was seemingly looking for something of a challenge as he had given the Shinigami his lost Zanpakuto back. Even if Vlad's movements were too quick for the Shinigami, then Lucy's eyes were able to follow every twist and thrust of the sword and scythe. It was hard to believe that Shinigami of this low rank, and who had this poor kind of judgement were let out to the human world. Lucy had to barely watch the fight before she knew what Vlad intended, but the Shinigami didn't take a moment to process what was going on around him. Only focusing on what was right in front of him as he charged. The swoosh sound that followed, made Lucy sigh just a bit. And the thud of the head landing on the ground made her wonder if the whole mission would be like this. Even if she wasn't that keen on killing without reason, then even she could get bored of things like this. For the next 3, I think I will join in. But I wont allow the battles to spread.. so we have to find 3 Shinigami which are together...

As Vlad came to her side, Lucy flashed him a small grin. "Not bad at all mister Vladimir. Although it would have been preferrable to see your and Noi's fighting abilities against someone that would really help bring forth a good fight." She waited on Noi to come to her also, before turning her face towards the sky. "I have a feeling if we move a bit further in this direction we might catch another group. I just hope that since they aren't of such an important ranking then they keep traveling in small groups." With that, she Sonido'd in the air, moving forward at a fast pace.

(( OOC: Feel free if you want to find your own Shinigamis, but if you do then leave me 1 to have fun with ^^ ))

Appearing before Lucy and Vlad with a bloody finger in her mouth, she looked a bit disappointed. She had looked at Vlad's fight abit and hadn;t seen any potential in his shinigami either even though she thought Vlads target seemed abit stronger. She was starting to wonder if the story's had been exaggerated, these were not even strong enough to beat the lower numero. Let stand the former espada. As Luci sonido'd away Noi let out a small sigh before following. Concentrating while moving she scanned the area for shinigami. There had to be stronger people out there, right?

Noi suddenly sensed a few sources of reiatsu, regretfully they didn;t seem stronger then the ones that they just fought. Noi sonido'd to the fromnt of their assassination squad and motioned to make clear that there were three targets east. She moved towards the location hoping the others knew what she meant. Arriving at a small baseball field three shinigami were discussing something, it seemed they were dividing tommorow's patrol work. One of the shinigami had his sword on his neck and used it to rest his arms, he had long red hair and a mustache. The middle was wearing bandages covering his face and his sword hanging on his waist. The last shinigami was a short female she seemed petite and conserved, her glasses decorated her frail innocent face just like the black hair that was tied back into a bun. She held her zanpakto in her hands.

Noi couldn't wait to have some fun, but she had bad luck last time in picking. Hers had been so weak, at least Vlad drew his weapon to fight his, so his had to be more skilled. She decided to wait till at least one of her accomplices had picked a target.

Vlad nodded his head smiling at Lucy's comment on his fight, and agreed that a challenge would have been better. He casually glanced over at Noi as she arrived, smirking. So her Shinigami had been a weakling as well. He sighed, as Lucy Sonidoed off, Noi at her heals, Vlad following only a moment after.

He followed them, not speaking, never the one leading, he couldn't stand being a leader, which was odd considering who he was. But it wasn't his style. He followed them silently, as Noi diverted course, heading towards three reiastu signatures. Vlad sighed and smirked hoping they would provide more of a challenge than last time.

Vlad stopped next to Noi, for a few seconds, before heading off. "The girl is mine." He said, chuckling as he sonidoed straight up to her, throwing her far rom her comrades, leaving them for Noi and Lucy. He stalked around his prey smirking, as she stood, and snarled at him. He chuckled. Time for some fun.

They probably turned off their phone and are simply getting drunk somewhere...its typical members from the eight division. Rukia had been stationed in the real world for a few days now, having to stay there and assist in patrolling for an entire month. The reason for this mission was the growing rate in hollow acitivity, which had unsettled some of the higher ups. She had already encountered both Orihime and Ichigo on the first and second day she arrived, causing her to belive it was fate. She was of cause happy to see them again, even through seeing Ichigo without powers unsettled her a little. This night was just like the former one, hollows would be slain tonight. Rukia felt the reaitsu from the unseated officers deployed in the section of the town she was in. Using shunpo a few times, she arrived at a rooftop, overlooking the small baseball field.

Th-that uniform...!?. She felt herself freeze in place, espada`s in karakura!? Upon further inspection, she noticed the beautiful woman with red hair, had the number 5 tattooed onto her hip. She watched as the male arrancar pushed the female shinigami away from her two scared comrads, apparently wanting to kill her himself. Rukia bit her lip and used shunpo again, appearing in front of the two unseated officers, looking at the two female arrancar`s. "K-Kuchiki fukitaicho!", the two males bursted out of relief, apparently being glad to see her. "What are you two doing? Take defencive stance number 7 and be prepeared..". "Hai!". Rukia drew her own zanpaktou, looking towards the two female espada. Despite her small height of 4.8 and small build, her gaze was quite imposing. She was wearing the standard shinigami uniform, and her waistlong black hair had been left loose. A Kuchiki hairpiece was tied around her left section of bangs, and she was wearing a long white scarf that reached her ankles. A fifth division vice captain armband was tied around her upper left arm, revealing her rank.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki". A rather large amount of reaitsu was released from her body, chilling the air surronding her. Small ice particles was created around her, sparkling like small stars. Her zanpaktou turned comletely white, and a long white ribbon shot out from the end of the handle. Rukia`s zanpaktou was known for being the most beautiful zanpaktou in all of soul soceity, and you could see why. Rukia turned the zanpaktou upside down, sticking the tip of her sword into the ground. "Tsugi no mai". She then punctured the ground four more times in front of herself, taking a battle stance with her zanpaktou pointing towards them. Ice particles began to flow up from the holes, causing her hair and scarf to flow around her along with the ribbon.

"Hakuren!". The ice particles gathered together at the blade`s tip and formed into a massive pure-white wave of ice. If they where hit by it, it would encase them in ice. It was unusual for Rukia to use her shikai so fast in a battle, but it was because they where espada...

(i have admin permission to post)

Lucy stopped next to Noi as they were confronting the new prey, she wondered if Noi was waiting to see if a worthier opponent would be available for the grabs? At least the female didn't attack straight away like last time. Vlad however had no such thoughts as he already rushed towards the others, going for the girl. Lucy's delicate eyebrows were raised a bit in disapproval, but she wouldn't voice it out. As noted before, she really disliked fighting those who were clearly at disadvantage, and Vlad's taste in wanting to bully that petite looking girl made Lucy almost want to take him on just so he could have his ass handed to him by a girl. But no such things.. we are all on this together. Not sure my Leader would like it much either. Perhaps there would come a chance when they would return back to Hueco Mundo.

But the red head didn't give herself time to think much more about that, but rather went completely still with a small frown. There was someone closeby which was stronger than these. Not someone who was overwhelmingly strong, but probably at least a 3rd seat. Ugh.. I had hoped we would get away without any troubles occurring. And surely not long after she had sensed it, a female appeared amongst the prey. She was petite looking, and had beautiful black hair and equally beautiful blue eyes. She had a rather young looking appearance, which confirmed Lucy's earlier guess of her rank. The other Shinigami seemed to be relieved to see her, immediately following her orders and addressing her as the fukitaicho. Well, as long as her captain isn't anywhere closeby then this wont be as much hassle as one would think at first. Now to control my fellow Espada... "Listen you 2." Her comfortable, slightly husky voice carried out the words to Noi and Vlad. The red headed Espada didn't seem the least surprised or worried by the sudden appearance of the newcomer, but she wasn't so stupid as to let her guard down. "Remember our original goal here. Do not do anything out of that goal. I will deal with the newcomer, you kill the other 3. Got it? And don't do anything too drastic, I know you can easily handle this without too much fuss." By that she was simply telling them to not attack the girl which had appeared since they had only been ordered to kill 5 Shinigamis, and also she wanted to remind them that if they would cause too much ruckus or allow their Reiatsu to spike up, then that would only draw in more trouble.

It didn't seem though that the little Kuchiki girl had in mind of letting things to go this easily, as she quickly uttered commands for her Zanpakuto to release it. Hooo.. pretty. Her long, fiery red locks got tossed a bit around in the slight wind, her strong gaze still settled on the black haired girl. The rich brown eyes didn't gleem of the usual violent or brutal gaze as from most other hollows, but rather it was as if she waited patiently and calmly for what would be happening. As the attack was formed, and the girl shouted the name for the attack, Lucy swiftly with the agility of a cat and the true speed of a Vasto Lorde, used a Sonido and appeared right behind the girl. Her arm stretched out with speed which would be hard to detect with the naked eye, grabbed at the girl's collar and pulled at her as Lucy used Sonido to move a bit away from the fight which was about to occur amongst the others. Just as quickly as she had gotten a hold of the girl, she let go and moved away. She glanced at her, memorizing her earlier attack and what she had seen. "Now then, there is no need for us to fight. Although I would understand your concern for your comrades." She remained at a slight distance, but close enough to catch the girl if she would try to escape from the scene or try to attack Lucy's comrades. "I will praise you for your courage, and that Zanpakuto of yours is a true beauty. It's name is Sode no Shirayuki, yes?"

It looked like she wouldn't be killing anyone on this mission, which wasn't really that bad. She would stall, or knock out this girl until the others were done. She wasn't being arrogant in thinking, only realistic about the difference of ranks. Now she could only wait for the others to finish up so they could leave, she had no intention of having someone of captain level to spot them and have the mission failing.

A new girl appeared and started to meddle, yet looking at the two shingami they had a lot of respect for the girl. Noi wondered if it meant the girl was stronger then the others, when the girl released her zanpakto Noi got excited the spike in reiatsu was amazing. Suddenly a beam of ice seemed to head for Luciernaga and Noi, Noi dodged it with a sonido. She wanted to charge the girl but Luci was faster and claimed her. As Luci had told them they were to take care of the 3 shinigami here and she would occupy the girl. Noi was a little dissapointed and made a small sonido appearing in between the two shinigami. "Well if i can;t have the decent shinigami then ill take you both on"
"How dare you underestimate us!" The shinigmai with the mustache charged for Noi, she turned and with a fluent motion she unseathed her tachi and made an one-handed strike from the mans waist up to his shoulder, blood splurted out covering Noi. Smiling in the rain of blood she grabbed the mans face. The other shinigami, noticebly angered, rushed in blind anger towards Noi. Hearing the man run up towards her Noi turned to the man still grabbing onto the mustached shinigami's face, and smashed the now dead shinigami into the charging shinigami. The charging shinigami fell backwards with the mustached shinigami ontop of him, with one strong strike she pinned the two the ground as blood squirted out like a fountain. Noi had a innocent smile as she pulled the tachi back out, The shinigami on the bottom seemed to be alive as he made an attempt to stab Noi threw the stomach, but his zanpakto skidded of Noi's side making a small tear in her clothes. Noi had a look of annoyance as she crushed the mans hand. She made an evil grin as she slowly let her tachi sink into the shinigami's heart.

Afterwards she sheathed her Tachi andsat ontop of the corspes waiting for the others to show up.

Vlad twitched his head towards the new comer, her reiatsu seeming higher than that of the three who had already been there. He sighed, as Lucy claimed her. As she called out to remind them of their goal he smirked, and snickered. "I hear and obey, Leader." He cracked his neck, and Sondioed directly behind his prey earning him a kick in the groin.

Vlad grunted in surprise, and laughed, her foot never having connected with him. He grabbed her by the wrist, and spun her, pinning her back to his chest. "Let's play, shall we?" He released her as she tried to elbow him in the face, emitting more laughter from Vlad. He drew his blade slowly, and pointed it at her, the chain attached to the hilt hanging limply next to his outstretched arm.

The female shinigami managed to hold on to the her Sword the entire time, and growled her annoyance, adjusting her glasses, and acting all high and mighty. "You shall feel our justice, monster." Vlad only smirked at her comment, as she used flash step to appear off to his right. He laughed ever-so-lightly as he flicked his blade and deflected her strike. He countered by aiming a thrust at her throat, which she just barely dodged.

Vlad sighed, sonidoed behind her and wrapped the chain tightly around her neck, he was bored with his play thing, as she did very little to fight back. She began to furiously struggle, but it was futile, and Vlad only tightened the chain, until, he yanked it quickly to the left, snapping her neck.

Vlad tossed aside the corpse and wandered back over to Noi, laying a hand on her shoulder, smiling at her blood stained face. "I see you fight went well."
