Usopp looks to Kouga as he tells them of their strength despite how they look. And with Grimmjow's momentary display of power- he's never seen Luffy pinned so easily and without a care before- he can't help but to believe Kouga's words about them being strong. He offers a coward's smile and insists, "Then I'll let you fight how you please! I wouldn't want to get in your way- I mean," he rethinks his words. This guy is a stranger, he doesn't know how strong Usopp really is. And why not spread his fame all over multiple dimensions? "I wouldn't want you getting in my way after all!" He lets out a heroic bout of laughter to back himself up. However to anyone with a brain it's obvious that his knees are knocking against one another.
Nami sighs, also noticing that their momentary alliance with this group of monsters is unstable but not disoriented or anything of the sort. Her head swivels in the direction of buildings that she sees coming up rather swiftly. "We're here guys. Scissors, if you could stop here, that would be great!" Of course the perverted crustacean complies as quickly as his large body can. She looks to the others, "My bet is that Crocodile is in the center of the city, either with his hands on Vivi's dad or on his way to doing so. Luffy, it's your job to get there as soon as possible so that Crocodile can't go through with whatever plan he has up his sleeve. Got it?"
"Kick some Crocodile ass! Got it!" Luffy grunts out, not in the least bit worried about the on coming fight.
Ichigo sighs as Grimmjow decides to glare his way for a moment or two longer. However he ignores the glaring and opts for nodding to Chopper despite his hiding ways. "That's right, Hollows. We've got abilities that would make your Devil Fruit powers seem like something an everyday person has. His brows furrow though as they are told of their recent approach to their destination (I'm not doing the river scene because I dun feel like it). "So I assume this is where we separate ways?" At the nod from Nami, he nods himself. "I'm gonna stick with the kid," he jerks his head in the direction of Luffy, "Just in case someone tries to take him out before he can get to Crocodile". He stands from his spot and grabs the Captain's shoulder and best. "Hang on tight, Luffy," he tells him before promptly pushing off a now stationery Scissors. He doesn't know where Crocodile is, but with Nami's guess he can only go forward. He continues to air walk up until they make it over the city, where they drop down and begin running roof to roof in search of the man that apparently is the boss of all this mayhem. Already the rebels have begun to fight against the men of the country's military. And already more than a few have gotten harmed or injured. But that is a given when it comes to war.
Grimmjow does just as mentioned. However, when Scissors stops and Nami announces what she does, he stands to his feet and sighs whilst stuffing his hands into his pockets. "If you're going with the idiot," speaks to Ichigo just before the man can leave, "Then I'll go with blondie here". When Ichigo is gone, Grimmjow does something similar to Sanji. However instead of grabbing him by the shoulder, he grabs him by the back of his suit without a care. Sonido is what carries him into the air and is what takes him to the city. His brow furrow. Now.....Who below him is strong and can fight? Maybe if he's lucky, he'll find someone worth it.
Nami sighs in the mean time once more while Zoro takes off from Scissors' head even if none of our boys join him in his travels. He can handle his own just fun.
With the women, Robin leads them along swiftly her flying no where near as graceful nor natural as Akira's own but still stable enough to get her where she's going efficiently. Their journey to the Capitol is a silent one, the archeologist keeping her thoughts carefully to herself about what will soon come to be. She can only hope that her plans play out as well as she's calculated them to. After all, everything else has gone exactly to the way she's planned it to be. Eventually, they land on a high up roof towards the center of the Capitol but no where near the King's home and therefore not near Crocodile. Her makeshift wings leave her swiftly, having done their slight toll on her for the time being. "This is where I leave you ladies to your own devices. The Straw Hats should either be here soon or already be here," unknown to her, it's more along the lines that they've arrived around the same time as the Straw Hats and our guys. "So feel free to hunt down your targets. Just so long as they're beaten and this country is brought peace...Things will work out. I have to go and make sure that Crocodile is safe. If you'll excuse me". That said, she takes off at a run this time jumping from roof to roof as nimbly as her human body will allow.
Erza in the mean time smirks, "If the man thinks he can beat me in a game of 'how many swords one can wield' I've already got him beaten without any effort needed". Never the less, like Yurei she is silent during the fly, merely thinking on how the boys are doing and whether or not Zoro will actually be a challenge. Unknown to her, the green haired man is quite the fighter. She takes off from the building after Yurei, all set and ready to fight.
Yurei all the while ponders on when they'll meet up with the boys again. However these thoughts are pulled from her as they land on the tall building towards the center of the Capitol. As Robin gives them their last instructions, she nods confidently, "We'll have the Straw Hats taken out before any true harm can come to Crocodile and the people of this place. Just leave it to us". When Robin is gone, is is the first of my two to leave the rooftop with a wave to her friends. "See you when this is all over! Kick some ass you guys....And let's try to see if we can't find the boys, okay?" There is a possibility that they wandered this far, even if it is a bit unlikely.

As the others agree to take off once they arrived near the Capitol, the ever scared doctor of the pirates trembles at the sound of distant fighting.as Ichigo and all the other strangers tag along with their own people to fight along side each other, he looks to Vivi, and as she determines what she does, he says, "I-I'll go with you!" He's scared, but he resolves to do his best to fight for the princess and protect her. Of course, unless it's Buroque Works, they ain't gonna hurt her on purpose. Still, he runs after Vivi as she takes off with the duck Carau or what ever his name was.
Indeed, Princess Vivi's hopeful and determined look becomes one of dispair. She was too late. The fighting has begun! She takes a deep breath before looking to her own friend Carau. "Can you take me through the battle?" She asks. She gets a nod, and Vivi looks to him with a bright smile. "The leader of the rebellion should be heading towards the palace. If we can go there, we will find the leader and should be able to stop this senseless fighting!" She beams to Chopper as he agrees to accompany her. "Alright." She takes off with her duck steed and Chopper in his reindeer form towards the city and ultimately the palace at its center.
Kyo looks at looks at the mention of a city and he whistles. "That's a nice place for it to be a human establishment in the middle of such a dry dessert." He is indeed impressed, but he has no time to dwell on it. As the others partner up and take off, he looks to the navigator. She seems to be more of the leader at times than Luffy, and so he says, "Want me to stick with you, miss Nami? Since all your strongest members took off on their own? I don't mind, and I know I can keep you safe." He smiles and shoots a playfull wink. He's not as bad as Sanji, but even he can be a little flirty sometimes. He waves Ichigo and the others off. "Try not to destroy EVERYTHING you see," he cries out as a tease before going where ever Nami decides to go.
Kouga in the meantime looks ahead at the city. It looks big, easy to get lost in if you don't keep track of e'er you're going. As Zoro just decides to take off, the experiment boy sighs. "I'll tag along with the swordsman," he decides. With a beat of his wings, he leaps off the crab with speed and lands with his legs running right beside Zoro. Like it or not, he has a buddy tagging along, one that won't let him get lost so long Kiuga isn't busy staving off any opponents.
Sanji doesn't expect to be picked up, least of all not by the grump Hollow. He was hoping to tag along with the lovely Vivi, and he was about to just as his feet left the ground. The hearts that were in his eyes vanish as he glances to Grimmjow. "The hell are you doing?" He asks, his demeanor switching from a flirty dope to a short tempered cook with a foul mouth. He doesn't like being picked up like this, not at all, but what can he do? As Grimmjow barges off, little does he suspect to see what he does: a beauty calling the hollow by name. Hearts return to his eyes immediately. Even if this woman declares him an enemy, he'd never fight such a gorgeous lady.
With my girls, Akira flies silently and quickly. She was calm up until she had to give up her kid. Now, she's rather anxious to end this fast so she can return to him. Once they land on the roof, she looks around while the others talk. "There's a battle going on here, and it looks like it's just getting started..." As Yurei gives a final farewell before taking off to do her job, Akira nods. "Yes, be careful all of you." She smiles slightly before she takes to the skies once more. Flying over head gives her a good view of the city. She's searching for a strawhat kid, and eventually, if you'll let her spot them first, she sees him making his way to the palace at an impressive speed. Wait... That's... Her eyes narrow. What the hell is Ichigo doing with the enemy? Damn this is not good. She picks up speed suddenly, using her abilities with light to carry her to the palace where she will await Ichigo and the straw hat. She remains perched on the tallest tower like a hawk, waiting for Ichigo to notice before asking, "what the hell are you doing with that guy? He's the enemy!"
Cider meanwhile lands on the rooftop with everyone else. She watches Robin as she releases them before she takes off. She shunpos along the rooftops, but she doesn't get far before she freezes, noticing a familiar and well missed presence in her mind. "Ichigo!" She cries in her mind. The others are gone. Ah well, she'll round up the girls later once their mission is done. She's about to move to find Ichigo when a familiar pair of faces appear before him. "Grimmjow?" She mutters as she watches him run along, carrying a blonde who... Is the Sanji guy she intended to fight. Immediately, Cider pulls Miraikou out, and she shunpos until she's in Grimmjow's path to stop him. "Grimmjow, let him go! Were supposed to eliminate that curly browed guy and his companions!" as if daring him to try and refuse, she points her zanpactou towards the hollow. She narrows her eyes dangerously.

Ichigo makes sure that Luffy doesn't get distracted by any weaklings that try to come their way. Running passed them at a pace too fast for the weaklings to follow them is enough to lose them. "Keep your eyes on the prize, kid," he tells Luffy, who nods with his childish anticks stowed away for the time being leaving nothing but seriousness in its wake. Ichigo is a bit surprised to see the change, but it's not a bad surprise obviously. "Cider?" he ponders back in return, feeling that no longer are they out of range from one another. That must mean she's somewhere in the Capitol. Where exactly, he'll check soon enough. Eventually, they make it to the edge of the Capitol where in the short distance the castle of the King awaits them. Surely that's where Crocodile lays. However, he stops, and forces Luffy to do the same upon hearing a rather familiar voice. "Enemy?" He echoes, "Akira, this guy here couldn't possibly be the enemy. His mental capacity is lower than Kurogane's- and Kurogane is a baby!" The point is, Luffy's not smart enough to be some sort of evil master mind. "Just stand aside and let Luffy get by. He's got some guy named Crocodile to defeat". Assuming she corrects him and doesn't let Luffy move any further, Ichigo growls. "Helping the Straw Hats is what we're meant to do, Akira! Do you want us to end up stuck here?!" He shoves the lanky young man to the side. "Luffy, get out of here. Just run forward and keep on going". Luffy, for all he's worth, does just that, trusting his new nakama to have his back through thick and thin. Should Akira make to attack Luffy, Ichigo intercepts this, Zangetsu drawn and unsheathed in all his all white glory.
Grimmjow in the mean time scoffs at Sanji, "Shut up dumbass. I'm getting you as far into the Capitol as I can before we really have to fight". He's not gonna deal with the foul mouthed cook's foul mouth at the moment. However, he forces his frame to a stop, inertia fighting hard to keep them on going but failing in the end. Grimmjow drops Sanji without a care, hand falling to Pantera as he does so. He looks to Sanji and sighs, idiot. "Blondie here?" Grimmjow demands, "Cider, we're supposed to help this guy and his buddies. Not hurt them". Pantera is drawn at the ready to meet Miraikou if needed, his own blue orbs narrowed in aggression. As I'm guessing that she insists that Sanji is evil, Grimmjow scoffs. "Blondie, go and find someone else to play with. Cider's mine," and now he speaks to Cider, "But if you wanna kill him, you're gonna have to go through me," and now he grins slightly, "Think of it as our rematch, girlie". He doesn't know how or why in the world the girl is so mixed up on who is good and who is evil. However, he knows what he has to do. And if Cider's gonna stand in his way, friend or not he'll cut her down.
Nami in the mean time gapes as the others take off much faster than she supposed they would when she announced that they were at their destination. They didn't even really give her time to say 'good luck and stay safe' to everyone. Not even Vivi and Chopper stayed long. This leaves her and Usopp to be the last one to go. She blinks upon Kyo offering to accompany her through the Capitol and nods once. "That would actually be great. You can take down the big guys while I take on the little guys," she's not afraid to admit that she's weak when compared to the rest of her crew and these monsters. She's just happy that one of said monsters was willing to stay at her side until this thing is over. And so, she leads the way in taking off herself. Unfortunately, when Yurei does what she does, she yelps and barely manages to stop herself from running into the attack that popped up out of no where. "W-Who are you?!" She demands of the pretty woman in front of her and Kyo.
Yurei, although the first to leave, is the last to find her opponent. It takes her a while to find Nami for reasons unknown. Hell, with as long as it takes her to find Nami, she's managed to see first hand the beginnings of more serious battles such as Ichigo vs Akira and Grimmjow vs Cider. She doesn't understand why the men are defending the Straw Hats when it is those pirates in general that are her and her lady friends' targets. Perhaps she can ask Kyo...After all, he is dashing along with her target. Wanting to get the element of surprise, she concentrates for nothing but a second before lifting her right pointer finger and directing it towards the sky while her palm faces that direction as well. She watches as spikes of bone suddenly appear in front of Nami and Kyo from the depths of the sand, and then leaps down from her perch of a roof. Deciding to be a bit flashy, she easily balances on one of these bone spikes. "I'm Yurei, nice to meet you," now her eyes turn to her friend, "Kyo, what do you think you're doing? What are you and the others doing here? And just why are they protecting the Straw Hats; they're our targets you know. We have to defeat them".
Zoro, always being one to take things in stride when it comes to battle, simply nods to Kouga as he joins him in running through the city. There are various people that he has to cut through in order to continue to find himself a proper opponent. However, he soon finds it as a red haired woman is rather quick to clash blades with him. His eyes widen as although she holds only two blades and he three, she still manages to make him to have to block with all three. He growls as they separate, a scowl on his lips but obvious hope that she's a challenge in his eyes. "And just who the hell are you?"
It takes Erza little to no time at all to find her target, Roronoa Zoro, seeing as his hair is green and he carries three swords. That's all the red haired Titania needed in order to seek him out. Green hair, after all, is just as rare as having orange or blue hair. When she does find him, she switches from her Black Wing armor to that of her Heaven's Wheel armor, two blades resting in her hands. Swiftly she clashes with the swordsman, finding that his reaction time is fairly decent. Upon his demanded question after their separation she smirks, "Erza Scarlet". However her smirk falls upon seeing a certain winged character, "Kouga? What are you doing here with this guy? Did they capture you and separate you from the others?"

Akira scoffs at Ichigo as he insists Luffy is the good guy. "Do they even know of the Witch? A woman named Robin found us and told us she knew the Witch and personally asked for help. She said she wanted us to defeat the straw hat pirates, so stop messing around! She scowls, not at all pleased to see Ichigo letting Luffy go on. She summons her sword of light to her hand, and she moves to cut Luffy down only to be intercepted by Ichigo. "Damn it! You're the one that's going to get us stuck here! You're such a dense moron, ya know that?" With a surge of strength, Akira shoves Ichigo off and jumps back several feet herself. "It looks like I can't do my job with out beating you first. Fine by me." She raises her sword, a daring smile spread over her lips with her wings slightly unfurled. "I finally get to take you down in our rematch." Wait until marines get a load of this X'D. Still, Akira doesn't hesitate to attack. She swipes down at Ichigo with an aggressive first strike. The rest of her assault is just as heavy and aggressive and fast. She knows she won't win with out the intention to kill of needed, nor does she need to get a feel for her opponent seeing as she's already fought him once. The searing heat of the light her sword is seems to increase on impact as the white blade gains a blue-ish glow. She can't hold up such heat constantly, so she waits until Zangetsu meets her blade. Even if the metal won't melt, Akira can at least try to get him uncomfortable all the heat.
Cider beams into Ichigo's mind. "Thank god you guys are here now too! Wait... Why are you here?" She doesn't hear an answer even if it's given because a certain other hollow gets her attention. She narrows her eyes. "How do you know that's what you're supposed to do? I bet they never met the Witch. We met the woman who requested our help. She said we needed to protect Crocodile by dragging down this pirate crew!" She growls in frustration at him only finally see some good out of this confrontation. She didn't want to fight at first because he was a comrade. However, the mention of their rematch makes Cider's scowl turn into a grin. "A rematch? Fine by me. I have to kick your ass before you get us stuck in this dreadful dessert!" She ignores Sanji's swooning at her, or tries to. She snarls at the man briefly. "You'd best get the hell out of here before I finish with this guy!" Finally with Sanji gone, Cider raises Miraikou into position. She decides to attack first. She isn't all crazy aggressive since brute strength isn't her strong suit like it is Akira's. She is fast, however. She makes sure that she's going as fast as she can, hoping to force Grimmjow to slip up and leave an opening. Of course things won't be that easy, but Cider can sure try.
Sanji grumbles as Grimmjow shuts him up. He's helping, but Sanji isn't at all happy with being torn away from Nami and Vivi. Such a mood disappears when he notices the young woman. He has hearts for eyes again, and instead of running, he cries out, "Cider-swan! You're even lovelier than I imagined!" When he's told to basically go away, he obeys like the love struck fool he is. Once he comes to his senses, he uses the opportunity to track down Vivi.
Kyo nods to Nami before taking off at a pace she can keep up with. Once Yurei appears before him, Kyo's eyes widen. What the hell? He didn't smell her. Maybe it's all the gunpowder messing with his senses, or that she's down wind from him. Still, he's about to happily cry out about finding the girls again when Yurei questions why he is defending the enemy. "What are you talking about? Miss Nami here is our ally! Since when did the Witch have us trying to let countries get destroyed? That Crocodile is the bad guy, and I'm not letting your strange delusions get us stuck here in this world." He scowls as he tries to press forward. He doesn't want to fight a comrade, but he will for the sake of their journey. Assuming Yurei doesn't let them go, the dragon huffs,string dark smoke escape his mouth. "Nami, go on. I'll hold this one off and catch up when I'm done. If she tries to stop Nami, she's intercepted with a blast of fire aimed right at her. It won't hurt her, Kyo is sure. He just wants to let Nami get by.
Kouga meanwhile runs happily in silence until a familiar face stops them. Erza! "I wasn't captured. Well... Those idiots Ichigo and Grimmjow did. Kyo and I had to follow them. Why are YOU attacking him? We're supposed to be helping him and the princess with keeping Crocodile from destroying this country. Let us by now and lend a hand." Assuming that doesn't happen, Kouga curses. "You ladies are all so stubborn," he says as he brandishes his beloved claws. "Go on, Marimo (since that's what he heard Sanji call him. XD) "I'll keep this woman from touching you." Indeed he does just that. He darts ahead and clashes with her, using both his class to attack to get her to use both the swords in her hand focused on defending herself from him. Once Zoro is gone, Kouga jumps back. He just made an opponent of Erza. He'd be stupid to not get the chance to test his strength. "C'mon, let's fight this out to decide who's right."

XDDD one of us should mention the Marines' reaction to whatever they see. It'd be hilarious. "Can't talk right now. Fighting. But I'm glad I can hear you again," that's all the Hollow can leave his lover with as he and Akira class like the two gods of battle they are. Ichigo scoffs harshly at Akira's words, not understanding as to why she would mention such nonsense. "Woman named ? No they don't know the Witch but I wouldn't put it passed him/her to fuck with us!". He growls as their blads clash, Zangetsu holding strong against the heat of the light when they do so. As she continues to come down on him with both power and speed, he replies to them by dodging the blade with speed and precision of his own. However there are times where he's forced to bring Zangetsu forward to block or parry. "I'm not the idiot here," he tells her at one point, facial expression serious but Hollow eyes narrowed with a pleasure for battle, "Did Luffy even look like he could find it in his heart to do whatever the lady said he did? He thought I was a woman just because of my long hair for hell's sake!" None the less he smirks as they clash once more, him pressing against her weight on her blade, "I can't wait to put you in your place again". This is where he begins to truly retaliate, using his larger mass to his advantage and pushing her away in order to rush in at her. Now his own attacks come swift and hard. Anything that is blocked ends up sending a shock wave of sand. When she dodges, the sand separates like the Red Sea for a moment before swiftly filling in the trench that was created. Once they clash again after that, he suggests, "How about, since we both know well of the other's abilities, we kick this into high gear right away? You don't need a warm up. I don't need a warm up, and it'll make things all the more interesting". However, in his mind he ponders if he should go straight all out or simply break the first of his two seals. Though he's leaning towards the latter. As if you remember, in the Inuyasha world, his four seals combined- due to his complete hollowfication- to make only two....And if that's not what really happened, since Imma lazy and don't feel like going back, I deem that that's how it'll work from now on.
"Feh!" Grimmjow scoffs at Cider's explanation towards what they're supposed to do. "And do you believe every stranger that comes along saying they know the fucking Witch? Woman use your head! We were on our own in your home world, who's to say we wouldn't be on our own or something like it here?" Pantera hums in his hands with a lust for battle as Grimmjow assures that they clash more than once. "As if you could kick my ass woman. You're the second strongest woman among us, but I'll still take you down". In his mind, the match in the Naruto world was nothing but a fluke. His body can handle his Secunda Etapa now, this he's sure of. And he damn well will be using it as he's sure she'll pull Bankai on his ass. While she relies on speed and light feet, he relies on a mixture of speed and power himself. While his attacks may seem wild and unorganized, a creature such as himself doesn't need to think up a plan. Fighting to Hollows is like breathing to humans. All the same, the fight she's led him into is that of a deadly dance, him coming at her with the will and urge to kill. While he won't really kill her, he knows- as Ichigo would waste no time in killing him if he did-, he might as well as beat her to near death. With this plan and goal in mind, it's what he shoots for. He knows the woman can redirect his Ceros and add more power to them like he remembers Nel being able to do. However that is something he can work on getting around rather easily. What he definitely has to worry about is that shit that eats away his Hiero. He can't instantly regenerate like Ichigo can or Ulquiorra could, after all.
Nami, whom had been running at a pace that she set and Kyo followed, screams as the small field of bone spikes try to impale her. However, she manages to stop herself before running into one of the spikes head on which wouldn't do her any harm but hurt her front but still. She stares up at the beautiful black haired woman with wide and frightened eyes. When she introduces herself, the orange haired woman can't help but to think that she seems like a nice girl. However upon Kyo knowing her and telling Nami to leave, she wastes no time in doing so. "Just don't get beaten, Kyo," she tells him. He's not close to her at all, however if he's willing to protect her, then she's willing to wish him luck.
Yurei in the mean time shakes her head, "Crocodile isn't trying to destroy this country, Kyo, he's trying to save it! The kind here is a tyrant, I'll have you know. Stealing the country's water and keeping it all to himself with rain powder (I think that's what the stuff was called). He's cruel and doesn't deserve to live! Trust me when I say I know how the people here feel against the king for taking something that determines whether they live or die". As Nami makes to leave down a near by alley way, she scowls and makes a gun out of her fingers. After the 'hammer' of her thumb slams down much like on a real gun, a bullet of bone sharp like a blade but as small as a tooth pick shoots after the girl. However it's veered off course by Kyo and his fire which is partially blocked by a thin wall of bone. She is only human after all, so she can get burnt badly even by the weakest of fires. She furrows her brows, not understanding. "I have to go through you to get to her? So be it," she complies. That said, she faces both her palms towards him. Like with the 'bullet' that went after Nami, little but incredibly sharp bones fire from her hands upon her command. They're thicker than they were for Nami, seeing as Kyo's a much stronger opponent. In the back of her mind, she doesn't know how she'll stand against the mighty dragon, but she sure as hell won't be going down without a fight.
"We're stubborn because we know we're right," Erza informs the man whom she had so terribly mentally hurt back in the Naruto world with the very armor she wears. She ignores Zoro's complaining about how his name is Zoro, not Marimo, and opts for wtching him try to leave. Swiftly switching to her Heavan's Wheel armor, she manages to both clash with Kouga and send blades Zoro's way. However the man is skilled with the bladed weapons, and therefore dodges before fully getting away. Her attention now fully rests on Kouga. "Fine, we'll see who's right and who's wrong by who wins," she agrees. She herself only slightly feels wrong for fighting her friend. However, she doesn't plan on backing down any time soon. She pushes against his claws, a blade in each hand to meet both sets of his weapons and pushes. Like Akira, she's a bit more muscle based than the average woman fighter. This at the very least allows her to stand on close to even grounds with Kouga in terms of brute strength.

Akira scoffs at Ichigo. "Looks can be deceiving, ya know. I mean, just look at you." She narrows her eyes to compliment the devilish grin that appeared as she spoke. She continues to fight, easily switching to defense once Ichigo went offensive. He can push her back, but not by much as she adds her own force to keep her ground. "But, if you really want your ass beat, I'll take you up on that offer than to finish off that Luffy." She sneers at the thought of over throwing Ichigo. "Go ahead and go all out if you think you need to." She herself will as well of course. She jumps back, allowing her opponent the time to break the seals. Meanwhile, she just braces herself. She doesn't need to break any seal. She just needs to call upon her light abilities to make herself turn to light and really go at the speed she knows she can go. And she does so as Ichigo breaks what ever seals he breaks. Even in the dessert they're in, she shines like a bright candle. Her eyes and wings retain their crimson colors as they shine. She waits on a rooftop that she jumped back onto for Ichigo to finish before she engages in battle once more. With both of them fighting fully, the waves of sand from the dodging and clashing become tsunamis. Little does she realize everyone watching from a fair distance with their mouths open, gaping like fools. The marines, including Smoker, are all staring at the two. There's a bright light in the shape of an angel beaming around and clashing with... With... A monster! A monster not even those who possess devil fruit abilities can imagine. Akira barely registers them as anything more than part of the ground she fights on. After some fast and heavy swings of her sword, she goes in for another swing with the I tension of clashing with the hollow. While close to him, crimson eyes look up to his golden eyes, and suddenly, she belts out one of those famous sun bullets, the ones that I remember managing to crack his heiro. Of course, these are more intense. They're faster, hotter, and hit with far greater force since she knows he can take such hits.
Meanwhile, Cider scoffs back at Grimmjow. "Like you're any better automatically assuming helping the straw hats are who you're supposed to help. The only ones who ever approached us knowing the Witch were the ones we needed to help." Well, some more so just introduced then to the new worlds, but that's all. Still, she wastes no time in pulling out her heiro eating... I can't remember if it was an acid or a mist... Let's say mist xD. She wastes no time in puffing it out. Every time they. Clash, she's exhaling the mist. It's not a problem for her seeing as she has no heiro, and it wouldn't affect her anyways. She just knows that if she wants to deal damage, she needs to at least get some of his heiro being eaten away to make him vulnerable. She continues this dance, relying on speed and what not as mentioned, as she keeps up with Grimmjow and gets close for the very purpose of trying to bring down his heiro. "And you're the second strongest male, so we are about equal in that perspective no?" She smirks as he announces her to be the second strongest girl. "Strongest or not, I'm gonna prove myself," she adds in a more serious tone. If she manages to get his heiro eaten away, she takes the opportunity to break apart and say, "We're wasting time not going all out, Jeagerjaque. Use that second release form of yours if you plan on really stopping me." Not that he could. Cider still has the resolve to beat his ass so she can go take down Sanji. Whether he complies or not, she holds Miraikou up diagonally I front of her. "Bankai!" She cries. Sand kicks up from the force of her bankai's activation. The sword in her hand glows and starts to shift around. The metal bleeds red and stretches back over Cider's arm and across her body until that suit of armor is complete. Like before, Miraikou can't seem to cover her below the knees with anything but those leather boots. Cider is fine with that. She won't let Grimmjow attack her legs so easily again. In this Bankai form, she needs to see a cero to be able to perform it. She's seen it with Ichigo when they fought in that dragon ball world as well as in Hueco Mundo against that blonde espada. Still, she holds off. She knows Grimmjow can easily dodge suck attacks. Still, she waits for him to come to her this time. She simply holds up her arms, fin-like blades sticking out against the back of her forearms.
Kyo waves off Nami. "Don't worry about it. It's my job until our task is fulfilled." As mentioned, he stops any attacks by Yurei with those flames of his. He smirks at Yurei. "You get your pretty little head I'm going to protect her. I don't care who's wrong and who's right. The Witch put us where it knew these people to be. It showed us boys that protecting these pirates and this country is out job. If you're too thick-headed to see that, I'll just have to knock you out so you can't interfere." He smirks at her. Still, as those sharp bone bullets are fired him, the Dragon leaps aside. He's thick skinned, but even he will have issues with her bone bullets. He also knows tone careful. He'd rather be stuck here than trigger another violent episode what with that curse on his body. Plus, he doesn't really want to hurt Yurei. She's become a little terror since they first started, but she's a good girl and Kouga would probably find a way to kill him much like Ichigo would kill Grimmjow. So, he knows he's going to have to be careful to avoid exerting himself. After a moment's though, he decides, despite his worries, it'll be worth it to use that in between form of his. The hardened skin/scales will be tougher to cut even for Yurei's bones. Hell have his claws, fangs, and wings as well. So, he wastes no time in doing so. His pupils become slits, and fangs and claws grow out of his mouth. Wings sprout, and scales line themselves over his human form. In addition, his tail appears, ready to act as a 5th limb or a whip. Once that's done, Kyo wastes no time. He charges Yurei head on. His ears and nose are peeled for any bones that sprout from the ground so he may dodge it.
Kouga sees Zoro off, making sure none of the heavens wheel swords hurt him before he looks back to Erza. "That's fine by me. I got a score to settle with you anyways." He hasn't forgotten what she did in Naruto world. As such, he pushes back at her with strength of his own. With his body mass, he pushes with an even greater force, backing her up if at all possible. Once he manages that, the experiment suddenly leaps back, breaking the clash to get some distance. His eyes narrow, and his wings unfurl. It's been a while since he could call on his wind abilities. He knows that to fight Erza, he will likely need to use it now. He's grown in his ability to fight not like a complete wild man, but he's painfully aware that ultimately, she's still the superior swordswoman. So, with a great deal of focus, he waits for the very second Erza lifts a foot to move before he gives a single, mighty beat of his wings. He kicks up dust with the massive wind as it surges with the force of a tornado towards Erza. He continues with a new attack he's thought of over the ride to this Capitol. He raises one of his claws and unleashes a horizontal swipe. Wind surges forth with a sharpness that could cut through the stone buildings. He follows it up with a vertical slice where ever he hears her breathing go, whether she blocks or dodges.

Ichigo scoffs, "Give me a break, I know I'm sexy but I don't have the curves to look like a woman," not any more he doesn't have them, at least. Still, he watches as Akira backs off to let him break the seals. However as he watches her glow, his eyes narrow. "Ogichi....One seal or two?" He questions his Hollow counter part with a pondering mind. "Are you fucking crazy? Seal number two dumb ass; one seal will get you killed," the Hollow replies with a happy grin. Of course of all people he'd be estatic at getting to at least watch this clash of titans. "Whatever," Ichigo grunts before placing a hand over his face, collecting the needed reiatsu. As though clawing at his skin, reiatsu fallows the motion, forming the mask of his second broken seal which is basically like a Secunda Etapa for Grimmjow or Ulquiorra. Reiatsu as dark as a starless and moonless night bursts around him, obliterating the building he stands on, as well as multiple others around it. When the reiatsu subsides, in is place is definitely the monster that the marines see fighting the light in the shape of an angel. With horns that would be as long as 3/4 of his arm if straight however they bend to the sides and then forward in front of him, is a mask as white as moonlight. Over his eyes are two black lines that start from the back of his skull and- as mentioned- go over his eyes and then end at his hollow hole, following the contores of his face. Golden and black eyes peer from this mask. His body is the same color as this mask, however from his Hollow hole branch six lines; one on each side going towards his biceps, two twoards his collarbone and under the red fur collar that covers his shoulders, and the two that follow the contores of his face as mentioned. His hair remains the same length, of course despite the monsterous change. Ichigo lets out a long sigh after this change is complete. Then, like the beast he currently is, he roars before charging the woman. The fight is one of a century, angel and monster clashing this way and that. As they clash and Akira releases the bullet of light, it imacts with him, and is strong enough to chip his Heiro. Ichigo stumbles back as he realizes this, and is obviously infuriated because of it. The result is a Cero from between is horns blasting Akira's way with a follow up clash with her even should she dodge. He doesn't realize that there are people watching him clash with the winged woman. Nor does he care that he almost runs into one of them after backing off from a clash. Cero afer cero are fired at Akira with follow up clashes or the other way around. Either way, he doesn't let up. At one point, he does manage to get behind her, if you will, and as a result he takes Zangetsu and slashes down aiming for the middle of her back.
Grimmjow shakes his head, "Their reasons are better than whatever that woman gave you," he insists. However he ignores the 'second strongest male' comment as he devotes his mind and body. However, as they clash and Cider points out that they're basically wasting time, he can't help but agree. "Fine, let's stop with the warm up, then," he agrees verbally. He backs away from her and runs his nails along Pantera's flat side. Unlike Ichigo, he can't jump straight into his Secunda Etapa, while Cider can jump right into her Bankai. "Grind, Pantera!" No, first he has to enter his Resurrection, and then...He lets out a loud and feral roar to go with the upping of his reiatsu release. Like with his debut on this ability, a burst of energy enters the sky, and would cut clouds in half if there were any. When the reiatsu is gone, in his place is a large feline based Grimmjow. On all fours with blue fur running down his spine, and blue tufits on the tips of his tails while missile shooting portions on his elbows still exist, he snarles at her. "Let's get started then". Already there's a bit of blood on him from when Cider had managed go get to the portions of his Hiero where the goop ate away at the armor. However he pushes away the slight pain and opts for remembering where the holes are. From his elbows without a single motion, multiple missiles head Cider's way as fast as a Bala, while he follows up to clash with her with his claws and teeth. Should he manage to get this clash, he fires a point blank Bala at her from both of his paws, while his mouth aims to keep her hands busy.
"You can try to knock me out, but I'm sure you know you'll have a bit of a hard time. I've gotten a lot stronger since we first started this journey all those years ago," but of course he knows that. She knows he knows that, but her self confidence told her to say that, so she did. Obviously. Her eyes widen though as she sees his change, watching it occur and carefully recalling what she knows about her friend's abilities in this form. She know for a fact that he won't be going all out without possibly triggering the curse that creature put on him back in the dragon world. However...He still won't be any sort of push over for her. She also knows that she'll have to hollow out her bones to make her lighter, but also keep them strong as to not break them. This is the first thing she does before Kyo can charge at her. And when he does do so, from her thighs she consentrates before pulling out a pair of bone sais. Weapons she hasn't used- hasn't needed to- in a while now. However she's still very familiar with their weight, being hollow for speed but hard for power. As Kyo rushes at her, she waits until he's almost in contact with her before using her smaller stature to weave around him and get behind him. In passing him. her right sai is swung up and aims to cut his side over his ribs for first blood. Then she goes in for a kick that will cause his momentum to go further than he intended so she can get some distance. Yes....With his years of experience in fighting, as well as strength he has over her, she'll have to play this game very carefully.
Erza cares not for Zoro the moment he blocks her swords, knowing that even if she wanted to, Kouga wouldn't let her. Instead, she gives all of her focus on Kouga, eyes trying to figure out any holes in his stance that she can find and use to her advantage. When they clash, his larger mass does indeed make her slide back about a foot and a half, her feet harshly digging into the loose land below their feet. She grits her teeth, "I hope you give me a run for my money then," Erza states to the man whom she had mentaly harmed so harshly in the Naruto world. However as the dust is smartly kicked up by the experiment once he's jumped away, she can't help but to close her eyes. However, this does not put her to a complete disadvantage. As she has retained the skills of sharper senses back in their last match. Therefore she listens very carefully to everything. His steps, his own breathing, as much as her human ears will allow. When the wind comes her way, she lifts up her blades to block, thinking them to be dull bullets that he normally makes with his wings. However, as she only blocks a portion of the wind blades, her eyes open nice and wide when a cut is placed onto her cheek. "What...?" She can't help but wonder aloud. She momentarily eyes the blood on her cheek. "....Ingenious," she follows up as her swift mind figures out what has just gone on. Ever being open minded, she has no doubt in her mind that the man had made the air sharp, and cut her with the air. She purses her lips. That's going to be very difficult to get around and block. Still, she retains her Heavan's Wheel armor for the time being, and rushes the clawed and winged man, taking th offensive with a flurry of slings and slashes headed his way.

Akira has a grin and wide eyes on her face as she observes the transformation of Ichigo undergoes as he breaks his seal. Not that anyone besides an Ichigo could put up with staring into the light with enough intensity to see it. "There it is!" She cries excitedly. She's really been dying to take her place as the strongest of the group, and now she has Ichigo fighting full force. In her mind, she's cheering as she finally gets to take her place as the strongest in the group. She moves forward as mentioned to take on Ichigo, matching his strength and speed with ease. As she chips at his heiro, Akira couldn't get any more of a high from this fight. She laughs as he throws a cero her way. She dashes out of the way of the cero instead of using her light particles to simple let the cero go through her. She meets Ichigo's follow up with full force, and with him close, she suddenly and with out warning spits out another bullet at him. This is the pattern as Ichigo decides to throw more ceros at her. It's a bit of a game as he repeats himself with the ceros and follow up clashes, as are her bullets which surely fire at some point during the clashing. She is surprised, however, as one of his follow ups isn't head on, but behind her. She had gotten used to the pattern and so didn't expect it. She goes to dodge the black so it doesn't touch her back. However, she isn't so fortunate. Her light particles sip around the blade, so it's like he was cutting the air, but right where her wings meet, there's a shallow cut that appears. Shallow though it may be, it's still equally painful for an angel as being impaled in the stomach. She summons light to heal the cut quickly while she twirs around and swipes at Ichigo now that Zangetsu is facing downward below her. She hears up he sword and makes it so the impact would have as much an impact on Ichigo's heiro as her sun bullets.
Cider, once in her full (well as full as it gets) armor, waits patiently for Grimmjow to finish. She doesn't want to win by a cheap shot like attacking right when he's distracted with bringing out his best abilities for her to challenge herself with this fight. Talking about who's right or not gets them no where. She will defeat him by being superior in ability to fight. Once he's in his second release, Cider gives a crazed grin. "Finally, well find out who's really the strongest here." She watches the multiple balas get shot at her from his elbow. She raises a brow. Really? She takes the hits head on, aware that the damage transfers back to Grimmjow as it hits her arms and torso. Surely it's not enough to really hurt him, but still. As he comes in close, she lets her grin fade and get replaced with an air of seriousness. Still, as he collides with her, she braces and meets his mouth with a punch from her spiked, metal fist. She retracts it as fast as she threw it at his face, and she tries to catch his claws along with his fangs. When the two balas are fired, some of it does reach her neck and face since they're fairly vulnerable, so he manages to draw blood. However, most of it was still absorbed and the damage given back to Grimmjow. He seems to insist on keeping her hands busy fighting his mouth, but that leaves his claws to sink in any vulnerable spot they can find. As such, she decides to pull another trick this Bankai form grants her. She lets his mouth grab one of her hands since he insists on keeping them busy with his mouth. She smiles a little as she looks him in the eye. "Bala," she says as the hand, whether it's Grimmjow grabs her hand really or not, in his face unleashes a Bala like Grimmjow's. Ah yes, her being partly demon with her zanpactou's abilities have granted her ability to use hollow attacks in the past with out the need to absorb them.
Kyo laughs as Yurei confidently declares her strength. "I know you're strong. It's kind of scary really. So don't think I'll be playing around with you." This is said right before he switches to that half-n-half form of his. He pauses before his charge, using his wings on the initial push for speed. He can't just muscle his way through this because of that curse. He has to be a little more strategic, something that isn't one of his worst points, but it's not his best point either. She's small and not nearly as bulky. It's obvious she is going to be fast and light. Of course, it means the damage won't be as heavy. He watches as she draws a pair of sais from her bones, and he readies himself for a high speed attack of her own. His tough skin will keep the damage of that blade to a minimal, but he doesn't want her completely off the book with a scratch on him. As she leaves the scratch on his side, he turns his head and lets out a breath of fire that aims for her blade and her own arm. As she gets ready for a kick, he's finally managed to stop running, and he meets her foot with a heavy swipe of his tail. That should hopefully hit or at least force her to direct her strength towards keepingong herself from getting damage from his tail. Of course she could dodge too in which case the dragon twirls around and breathes a greater volume of flames towards his opponent. If she doesn't dodge, he pushes harshly against her to use the momentum the spin the other way with as much speed as he can must with a scaled fist aimed for the girl's face.
Kouga meanwhile, as the dust clears up, is happy to see a little blood as well as the surprise. It certainly was a new idea. He hadn't even tested it out before now. However, he doesn't get much time to celebrate, not that he'd of allowed a lot of time. Immediately, Erza switches to offensive, and Kouga instinctively takes up the defensive. His claws clash with Erza's swords, blocking and batting them away. He looks for openings, but of course no way would Erza allow herself to be open for attack, especially not after that little surprise. In his own mind, the wheels are turning as he thinks to himself, -how am I to disarm her?- suddenly, an idea comes to him. At one point, as one of her swords come his way, his eyes narrow slightly as he makes sure to get this just right. He places his claws so that Erza's swing aims right In between his blades. He moves his claws out, forcing her to, if she keeps hold of that sword, to move her arm out of the. His other hand is busy defending, but he quickly starts going on the offense and swiping at the Mage should she hesitate or get distracted by what happened to her own sword. For a brief second, Kouga sharply inhales only to unleash a larger, duller wind bullet that he would usually make with his wings. If she doesn't move somehow from her current position with one sword caught and the other staying busy with Kouga's other claw, Kouga follows up that wind wit a foot aimed at her stomach to kick her back as hard as he could muster. He surges forward to meet up with her and take back the offensive if he didn't already have if

Despite his animalistic mind currently, instinctually Ichigo knows that the angel before him is getting used to the pattern of his Ceros and follow ups. As that's exactly what he wanted her to do. It's only natural for her to realize a bit late that his most recent Cero follow up was not head on. After all, he had been doing it for so long. Unfortunately for Akira, because his Heiro is a part of him, it is only a little bit slower than his skin and what not to regenerate. So with each Cero and follow up, when she hits him with a new light bullet, the chip caused by the bullet before is already almost closed. However, because Heiro is invisible, it's not really possible for her to tell. Needless to say, Ichigo is pleased with him catching her off guard. His eyes catch sight of the cut; if he were currently of sound mind, he'd smirk. "First blood," his voice intones, it being gravelly and dark toned. He's not able to talk much in this form due to his mind being so animalistic, but over time he's been learning to control it better. As you can see, by now he can say simple things such as what he just did. However, talking fluently and regularly is not something he'll be able to do for quite a while. AS the light comes for him as Zangetsu is lowered and too far down for Ichigo to block with him, he resorts to using one of his hands. Palm meets light in this clash, his heiro holding strong. He does not give the clash much time to last, however, because next thing that happens is a combination of three things. The first is a black Bala that races down his arm from shoulder to blocking hand faster than one can blink. The Bala lashes out at the light unforgivingly, aiming to make it back off. At the same time, in between Ichigo's horns is a black ball of energy gathering. However it is not a Cero nor a Bala. Instead, as he swiftly rids himself momentarily of Zangetsu in turn for cutting his thumb on one of his horns and leaving a drop of blood on it before he can regenerate. It does nothing to the color of the energy in the shape of a Cero, however it's obvious that it's MUCH stronger than Cero, being a Cero Obscuras. Both this and the Bala are fired at Akira at the same time, with Ichigo Sonidoing after Akira no matter where she goes. Zangetsu wastes no time placing himself back into Ichigo's waiting hand, materializing rapidly only to be swung at Akira's abdomen in an attempt to bisect her. He follows this up with another bout of offense. However, this time it's not just blade, but also free hand and feet as well.
Grimmjow didn't send Balas at her, they're literally little missiles that transfered over from his Resurrection. But oh well. He is pleased to be the one to draw blood first firmly believing in the saying 'he who strikes first, wins'. As that's almost always the case in any fight. None the less, he indeed insists on keeping her hands busy with fighting off his fangs while his claws are sure to get at the spots where she is most vulerable while he can. However, what he doesn't expecet is for Cider to suddenly state what she does. The only thing he can really think is a 'shit' before he's sent flying away and crashing into a building or two. However, just because he has to fight literally like an animal, doesn't mean that he isn't strong at doing so after so many years on two feet. No....Here, on all fours, is something he remembers all too well to fight like. He growls as he collects himself in the rubble, shaking his head and brushing off whatever's fallen onto him. The spots on im where their is Heirro missing are a bit sore, but it's nothing he can't live with. Even without his Heirro, his skin is very tough; what's hit these spots that are vulerable to only someone as strong as Cider. That is, if she remembers where the holes in his armor. None the less, he pulls himself out of the rubble and again comes after Cider, zig zagging in order to make himself more unpredictable before Sonidoing from in front of her to not behind her, but above her. He comes down on her like a piano would from the top of a sky scraper, and with ten times the force. A snarl perminetly rests on his lips that are pulled up and back, ears resting on his head completely flat. Should she move in time for him to miss, he ignores the flying wave of sand that results in the force and pivots on his forepaws, whipping his hind end around in order to direct his tails at her like two deadly whips. His tails, in turn, aim to at least get a hold of one of her limbs so he may swing her around like a rag doll.
Yurei in the mean time figures that Kyo knows of the fact that she'll be light and fast. However, that doesn't mean she plans on changing her stratigy. Instead, she follows through as mentioned. However, as he swings his head around to breath a plume of fire at her, thinking quickly she calls upon the bones in her hands which then add to the sai in said hand. This addition of bone to the weapon allows her to remould it into something of a shield that keeps her from getting burnt. She rids herself of the clunky shield, opting once more for the sai. Her kick is canceled out by his tail swipe, which forces her to jump into the air and get herself another plume of fire sent her way. Unfortunately this means that the second wave of fire is coming at her while she is in the air. With hollow bones, she defies gravity better, however that also means that she falls slower. Luckily, though, she's a smart girl, and in retaliation, she aims her left sai at the ground, turning it into a morning star which she uses to weigh her down. Once under the fire and out of danger, she's swift to lug the morning star into the air and hurl it at the dragon. It flies at him at an impressive velocity. However befroe it can make contact with his scale covered self, the morning star suddenly turns into that of a very large version of the sharp spikes she sent flying his way earlier. She could always take a hold of his bones and force him to stop like that time she tried to do so while he was in a fit of rage in Cider's home world against Naraku. But, for now she leaves that idea in her back pocket so to speak. Instead, a follow up of rushing the dragon head on after the rather sharp bone spear sent his way is created. While the first time she rushed him, she used it as a feint to get at his side, this time she clashes with him head on despite his superior strength and mass.
Kouga is correct in assuming that Erza wouldn't dare leave an opening in her guard after a surprise like that. Surprises like those are deadly; she knows this for a fact. Therefore even though her offensive attacks are swift and brutal, they're also calculated quickly for chance of succeeding or not. She can't help but applaud the man, seeing as he didn't use to fight with his mind as he seems to be doing at the moment. Up until now, he's only ever really faught like an animal. And while that works for people like Grimmjow- given that they are- Kouga is not a Hollow. He's a human with special abilities like herself. Either way, she's silently happy that he's realizing that stratigy and instinct- a mix of the two- is what works best for those who aren't powerhouses. Unfortunately for him, because he's only really starting to use his head, it's still rather easy to read him and what his actions will do. Therefore, the moment he carefully traps her...Right sword let's say and twists to the side, she knows that she has two choices. Either let go and be without a sword in that hand, or hold onto it and put a hole in her guard. Therefore she chooses the first choice, and releases her blade and leaves it to hit the ground uselessly. While his other hand goes on the offensive, her left sword is the one to take the defensive. That is until she hears him take in a rather large breath. As she hasn't done anything to cause him to gasp- he hasn't given her time- she knows it's an attack. Therefore, she abondons that sword as well and opts for jumping nice and high above him. In her hands appear new swords, which as she lands are aimed for his right side. On his other three free sides, the swords she abandoned and four more- two for each side- follow her command and begin to keep him busy in order to let her get second blood.

Akira scoffs. "What blood?" She asks, for indeed her wound by then was sealed, and the scratch itself was minor. Still, she reminds herself not to fall for such tricks again. No, now she's thinking of how to rally do damage. She thinks back on the hollows she's fought or seen fought. Well... She just fought that snake with Grimmjow and observed the others fighting hollows, mainly Horosha. Ichigo's heiro is solid, but like other hollow like snake, and others according Grimmjow, he should be soft on the inside. His mask covers his mouth, so unless he opens his mouth wide, she won't have an opening. Somehow she needs to make am opening. She remembers how the sun bullets can crack Ichigo's heiro, and suddenly, wheels are turning in her mind. Akira decides to test it out. With the Bala and super cero thing, Akira is forced to evade it. She could've cut through the Bala like butter, but she didn't dare try it with the cero Ichigo launched from his horns. She barely gets away from the two. Once Ichigo is upon her, Akira decides to test her theory with a tweaked sun bullet. He's so confident in his heiro and regenerative powers, and she's relying on that to draw blood on him with out him backing away. From her mouth, 3 tweaked bullets are fired one after another. The first one can crack the heiro. Then before the heiro can grow back, the second one arrives to further make the spot vulnerable. The third bullet should hopefully do some damage. Now, you may be wondering how these are tweaked. Well... They're like little bombs now. The very moment the 3rd bullet is fired, she leaps away for that very reason. The explosions should further widen the crack in his heiro and do greater damage should the last bullet successfully tear into Ichigo's body. She knows it won't kill him, but at least she can have the satisfaction of drawing blood, not the the angel is all that worried about losing. She and Ichigo both are currently near impossible to tire out and heal instantaneously. She's untouchable for the most part as light particles, and Ichigo's heiro is a real pain in the ass to crack. Honestly, a fight between these two could extend for years if they really wanted to fight like that so long. Shhh, I meant missiles. still, Cider waits after Grimmjow is blasted into the wall. The Bala couldn't have brought the Hollow down. No, he wouldn't be worth proving herself to if he lost that easily. She waits for him to get up and move. Though it is a bit harder to track, she follows the zig zag matters of Grimmjow's charge, waiting for him to close in before she moves. Her focused eyes widen a little as the cat suddenly sonidos and appears above her. She jumps aside immediately to avoid being crushed, though the damage would only transfer to Grimmjow. She still doesn't want him on top of her like that. She'd be left vulnerable with her legs and openings in the armor for him to tear apart. As he spins to use his tails, she also tries to deal out damage. She aims a kick to Grimmjow, hoping to meet the pivoting motion with her own force. She aims for where she knows his heiro to be down at, where it is I leave it to you if she even lands a hit. The moment she is grabbed by his tails, she sends heiro-eating goop at his tails followed by the most potent acid she wields oozing out of her armor where she is grabbed. Hopefully his tails are as sensitive as a normal cat's, but Cider gets on that not being the case. She resists being thrown like a ragdoll regardless. But every time she is hit, again, she's fine. The bruises and breaking bones end up on Grimmjow, not Cider. As she's thrown around, she quickly decides to make an attack before he gets tired of merely throwing her around. A hand grips one of the tail firmly in place. With him in her grasp, she summons reiatsu to create not a Bala, but a full powered cero. It's golden color grows in mass in the hand not holding Grimmjow. Bite her legs, throw her around, or what ever other means he tries, Grimmjow won't shake Cider until she unleashes the cero, aimed right at him. "Cero!" She chimes as the golden ray is unleashed. Kyo meanwhile huffs a little as little Yurei quickly grows a shield and disposes of it moments later. He quickly stops the second bout of flames as he sees Yurei manage to evade it with a shift in her body weight to fa faster. She watches as the thing that dragged him down is hurled and changed into a giant spear. He narrows his eyes before her unfurls USO wings and starts flapping to kick up dust into a thick, foggy cloud. As the spear hits him, supposedly, he grunts. However, that's just him taking off. He's not a master of wind like Kouga, but even he can kick up sand in this dry bowl of heat here. He uses the cover and his speed to get at Yurei with out her having a clear line of vision of what exactly is coming at her. With stealth and silence not expected of a big bulky guy that looks like a dragon, he gets close and swings fist at her face. In his mind, he apologizes, but he doesn't lose the resolve to win. After the punch, he takes off into the sky with a beat of his wings, getting clear vision of the sky so he can look for her next attack. Of course, he throws a large, broad breathe of flames at her before doing so just in case she wants to attack while he's getting off the ground. Kouga watches her drop the sword, but he continues with the plan of trying to blast her away. Once he's unleashed his attack and the spot Erza was at, he looks up and jumps away as she lands. He remembers well that this armor grants her control of multiple swords, and it looks as though she is calling upon that ability as suddenly there are 4 swords against him instead of two. Of course, with his speed and reflexes, that's not a big deal. However, he can't attack like this. He frowns a little before he unfurls his wings once more as if to send an attack directly at Erza. However, this isn't so much an attack for her as Kouga's attempt to increase wind speed around them, blowing against Erza's swords and hopefully therefore slowing them down if not blowing them away entirely. He keeps the strong surge of wind flowing with a steady beat of his wings. Well, he speeds it up or slows it down to throw Erza off should she try to weild the swords again. Meanwhile, he takes the opportunity to raise his claws at Erza, and he swings yet again another of his new wind blades. They cut their way towards her in a rating fit. Another set of wind blades is fired soon after while she is distracted with the first set, aiming for where she lands after dodging if she does. He follows this up with a new assault with his claws against her swords, swinging heavier at her than before.

Ichigo could care less that the woman before him has managed to get around his Bala and Gran Rey Cero (XDD Super Cero thingy). In fact, he honestly was hoping she'd do so seeing as it'd be kind of sad if she were hit. Still, as mentioned he gets on her tail on the offensive. That is...Up until those three light blasts. The first one does indeed crack his Heirro, making him stop and stumble back a little bit due to the force of the impact. The second one doesn't give him any time to recover,as it too hits let's say his abdomen but has enough force to chip away a good portion of his Heirro in the front. Knowing this, he makes to move out of the way of the third. However, it is this one that really does do damage. As this one explodes on him, a few things happen. One being that Ichigo is sent flying backwards having never gathered his feet under himself from the last two. He flies a good distance, actually crashing in front of the marines and Smoker who still oddly enough watch the battle of the gods occur. Upon seeing him close up, those not Smoker and Tashigi squeal in fright. After all, the monster is right in front of them; he could very well kill them for no reason. Tashigi is for the most part terrified as well, being no where as strong as Smoker but she manages to keep her fear contained. Smoker in the mean time looks down at the currently downed monster with a 'what the fuck are you?' kind of look. However it's not answered of course. Instead, a stunned Ichigo sits up on his elbows for a moment to look himself over. Ogichi from in Ichigo's mind sees what his host sees, his eyes wide with surprise, "She really did a number on you, King. That was a pretty good attack". He doesn't get an answer from Ichigo though, as the man is currently still staring down at the damage. What he sees enrages him. Akira's little plan worked. It worked very well. As all of the bullets hit him in the same spot, the abdomen, it has the most damage done to it. There is both internal and external damage done. Internal because although he's rather strong, he is still soft on the inside. His insides can only take so much even being who he is. Therefore, there's a decent amount of blood running down his white skin and into the sand staining it red. I'd have to say that his liver is ruptured, and a good part of his intestines got obliterated. However that's not the only part of him that got damaged. The explosion was large, if you will, and as such it's done damage to his torso partially his face, his arms and even his legs. While none of these parts gush blood like his abdomen does, they do still bleed, a line of the stuff following one of the black lines on his face, running over his eye and dripping into his Hollow hole. Lines of blood race one another down to his fingers while his legs surprisingly have the least amount of damage done to them. He stares at the hole basically made in his gut before looking at what I assume to be a very happy Akira. After all, Ichigo hasn't taken damage like this in a very long time. His eyes narrow threateningly before his jaws open wide so that he can let out a scream of rage while his reiatsu fluctuates with the anger. Before any of the marines can blink, he's gone and in front of Akira with a diagonal swing of Zangetsu that even she should be unable to track with her eyes. From there, his attacks could be considered nothing but completely wild, however they are merely faster and nothing more. His flurry of attacks include all sorts of combinations that he can think of. Hand to hand coupled with sword play, point blank Ceros and Balas, a Cero Oscuras here and there, the works. Either way, Ichigo's healing is stopped to a slower pace. However that does not mean it does not occur. It just takes a full two minutes to heal instead of a few seconds.
Being as stubborn and as durable as he is has its quirks. He knows that even if he had landed on top of her and crushed her, he would have gotten the damage however he cares not. Even the armor has its limit of how much damage it can transfer before crumbling under the power. None the less, while she does get the kick in to break one of his floating ribs, it's too late to keep him from catching her with his tails. Said tails are not as sensitive as a normal feline's. If they were, then he wouldn't be using them to fight. All the same, even as she fights his throwing her around, he manages to do so for the most part if you will. However as acid is slopped onto his tails as well as the Heirro eating goop, he hisses in distaste. Being too stubborn to let go, he ignores the pain despite the fact that he'll need Akira to help him heal the appendages. He stops his throwing of her when she decides to chime out a Cero as though it were so simple to do. However, his ears remain flat to his head while the wheels in it turn rapidly. What should he do? It's either lose a portion of his tails and get a hit in on her, or let go and miss his chance. Of course he takes the former choice. As a result, he says goodbye to the portions of his tails and retaliates. "Cero!" He demands, firing the blue energy blast at the one place he knows the armor can't protect her; her legs. His tails hold onto her for as long as he can get them to, ignoring the pain of losing them and instead follows up his Cero with two missiles that head for her head. He races forward, ignoring the broken floating rib that protests the movement. In racing forward, his two tails that now lack about a fourth of their being due to Cider's Cero- he ignores the blood that fights to clot and form scabs over the nubs- split into four tails, two complete and two incomplete. He rushes her, having no distance weapons other than his tails, the missiles and his reiatsu attacks. But no matter, he prefers it up close and personal. His eyes narrow as he charges head on, only to go around her the hard way. No Sonido, nothing else, just running a circle around her in an attempt to momentarily confuse her. When he arrives back in front of her, he pounces, claws digging into where they can and mouth this time not aiming to keep her hands busy; that's his tails' job. Instead, he bites his tongue to the point of bleeding. Reiatsu gathers there allowing him to fire a point blank Gran Rey Cero at the armor. It's not the only one, however, as a total of two are sent Cider's way.
Yurei in the mean time has sweat dripping down her face. Not because of the exertion that she's going through- well, that's part of it- but mostly because of the heat of this place and the fire sent her way. It's been a long while since she's been in a place like her home, so of course she's not as conditioned to the heat as she used to be. Still, she has no choice but to turn away from the cloud of wind and dust lest she get it in her eyes and be even worse off than she is now. Unfortunately this means that Kyo gets the punch into her face without any trouble. She's sent flying a ways and tumbles to a stop with a grunt. However, despite her more so gentle personality she is a tough girl as I'm sure Kyo knows well. Therefore, she wastes no time in standing to her feet and spitting out the blood that collected in her mouth from the punch. With the blood goes a tooth, but that's quickly regrown without her even realizing it. As the fire is thrown down at her from Kyo's spot in the sky, another shield is made up. However, in retaliation the shield grows small spear bullets that aim to make it through the fire and use it as cover to get Kyo back. Either way, when the fire is gone, the shield is as well. She stares up at the dragon and sighs. She knows for a fact that she is the weakest within the group, so it's not surprising to her that even though Kyo isn't going all out, that she's having issues. She was nothing but an archeologist when all this started; she had to teach herself how to fight and she had to ask the Witch for abilities that would keep her from holding the others back. She has two options. Either take a hold of his bones and make internal damage happen. Or do that other thing that she had done in Ichigo's world that she has no name for. She shakes her head. She doesn't wanna do one of those things. So, she concentrates and focuses her energy. Bones sprout from her wrists, following the bones in her fingers and going so far as to be about four inches longer than than her fingers while tapering off to create talons. Fangs replace normal canines, as she takes in the possibility of literally biting the dragon if she must. While from her forearms sprout blades that run along them while ending with a tip that just passes the elbow, sharp as any sword; the action is repeated with her shins, resting on the side of her calves and just going passed her knees. From her shoulder blades comes a pair of wings, which allow her to take to the sky despite the fact that she knows it to be Kyo's domain. Once on level 'ground' with him so to speak, she rushes him, first using the new talons that rest on her fingers and attempting to get in whatever she can on the powerful fire breathing being.
Erza all the while does her best to keep the flexible man busy with not just four swords, but all eight of them- two in her hands and then two for each side of his that's open. However as the blades are blown away by the gusts of wind that are sent their way, she decides to rid herself of them and unequip them rapidly. When the attacks do come for her, she gets cut a few more times, not truly being used to blocking things made of sharp winds. However, after about the third set of wind claws sent her way, she has a fairly good idea of what needs to be done. Equipping into a different armor, her Flame Empress Armor to be exact, she retaliates by slashing at the wind blades with more force than Kouga had put between his own attacks. As a result, wind claws set aflame and are sent back in Kouga's direction due to fire being the stronger 'attribute' if you will. Eventually she stops relying on his wind claws, and goes in for a direct assault. However other than that there's not much to say other than the fact that the clashing continues, her every now and then trying to get the upper hand with Flame Slashes from all sorts of angles.

Akira meanwhile watches Ichigo get blasted back right into the ground before a line of what looks like human troops native to this world. She lands on the ground 50 meters away, momentarily letting her body return to normal as it's been a blinding light this whole fight. Crimson eyes remain hardened as she observes the damage. Honestly, she's surprised about the extent of damage she caused. Sure, she expected there to be blood if she succeeded, but never did she expect the explosion to do this much damage. Of course, that doesn't mean she's unhappy. Oh no, she's extremely pleased to have found something that works so well. And now with a gaping hole that won't heal in a second, so long she keeps up her sun bullets, she can keep dealing right there at that opening. The marines tremble not only at the monster, but at the angel that made the beast bleed so much. They're ten times scarier than Smoker! Akira smirks at the men, especially at the obvious leader, Smoker, sing he's only one not about to piss himself from fear. The smirk remains on her face as crimson eyes meet the monster's own. He may have drew first blood, but it was only a small scratch and quickly healed. He pulled a drop. Akira is watching blood pour from Ichigo's body like she's never ever seen before. Finally... She will make him fear for his own life for once. She readies her sword and returns to the blinding white and some crimson light. She knows any holding back he did before if at all will fade. He will be desperate to make up for the fact he lost so much blood. He was indeed just fast enough to where even she couldn't follow. Due to reflex and her sword already being roughly in place for defense, she was able to evade Zangetsu. From there, she meets his new found ferocity in stride. Of course, every chance she gets, she fires more bullets at Ichigo, aiming for the opening she already created. She cuts through balas, dodges the ceros, and meets his hands and feet while the heat of the sun touches his heiro, trying to burn it away on his hands as well as Zangetsu. Many attacks she lets to right through her since she's like a ghost in this form. However, she does block and dodge any that could be aimed close enough to hurt her wings. This high speed attack is one none of the marines can follow. Even smoker barely catches glimpses of the clashing between the two beasts. Hopefully the getting more bullets past his heiro will piss him off just enough to make Ichigo do as planned hehe.
Cider meanwhile is having what looks like a closer match than her boyfriend and Akira. Honestly, they are pretty dead even. Both has dealt out damage and drawn a deal of blood and injury. She blasts away his tail with her cero, though unless I missed it somewhere, I believe she aimed it at him, not just his tail. No matter, this works too. The little shinigami witch notices him gathering his own cero, and she frowns. She can't really dodge at the moment. All she can do is pull her legs up, folding them backwards so the armored part of her leg is the first to be hit. Of course, her legs do still suffer, but at least the damage was minimized as best it can. Much like Grimmjow ignores his damaged tail and broken rib, she ignores the pain in her legs. She wonders to herself just what would bring this Grimmjow down. He's definitely as fierce an opponent as Cider remembers. She quickly thinks up a plan to permanently subdue him. Hopefully, this will work for her. As Grimmjow charges. She starts firing balas rapidly. If they hit, fine. If not, it merely hits the ground, and the shock wave kicks up a lot of sand. She has a little smile as she does so, but she still braces for impact as Grimmjow charged her. She continues to fire balas, may they hit him or the ground as his tails try to keep them busy, with her hands while she relies on Miraikou's absorption and transferring abilities to fend off those claws. And of course, she's careful not to let his fangs get anywhere besides metal. She continues to rely heavily on the hollow powers granted her thanks to the ability of her Bankai and demon blood. Though, all she will likely do is stun grimmjow if he's hit and kick up dust. And why not? Hollows have some nice assault abilities. However, Cider's not naive enough to think heavily relying on balas will win her this fight. No, but she hopes Grimmjow sees it that way. It'll keep his guard down. However, as she notices the blood in his mouth as well as the gathering of Gran Rey Cero (or Super Cero Thing hehe) she narrows her eyes. Damn, she has to back off. And she does. Let his claws scratch Miraikou. It'll only transfer. She uses shunpo to evade but not to get away, no she wants him close. She immediately resorts to balas again. Of course, she'll let them miss as subtly as she can so more dust can kick up. Now, why is it that she is relying so much on balas? Well.. They are fast... She doesn't have to take time like with a cero. And they still create a shock wave that kicks up dust. The whole time Grimmjow was up close, including his summoning of Gran Rey Cero, she's been sneaking huffs of a certain mist that Ichigo of all people would know so well. It blends with the cloud of sand because of it's color. Even the slightest inhale from Grimmjow during this storm of balas and dust clouds, and he would be getting a dose of the very brown mist that crippled her boyfriend in the dragonball world. As a reminder, it distorts reality like LSD while crystals tear through his veins, creating internal bleeding and extensive pain. Of course, she doesn't stop this strategy until she either sees him get affected or 15 minutes later and she sees he's not being affected. Of course, the whole time, she's still fighting up close. She kicks and punches and mostly fires the gold balas.
Kyo didn't expect the second bout of flames to do damage. It was more of a whim than anything. However, what he is surprised by are the bone bullets. He evades most of them, but there's two that manage to hurt him. One scratches his side, though it's rather shallow. What does the most damage is one that manages to rip through the membrane of his right wing. Like Akira, Kouga, and birds in general, wings are sensitive. The nerves in his wings send a piercing message that he's been hurt. It causes a growl out of Kyo as he ends up diving down to land quickly several meters away from Yurei. A little blood drips from the hole in his wing. She's definitely making it hard for Kyo to not go all out. It helps that he's in such a warm place. If this were a winter based place, he wouldn't be near as fast or strong with his attacks. Still, the dragon looks to Yurei as she launches yet another assault. He raises a brow as Yurei grows talons, fangs, and blades along her arm. She looks like a combination of himself and Cider's Bankai. No matter. The dragon's tough hide will be hard to pierce even with talons and fangs, especially at her strength. He does make at face at the wings. She obviously is ready to match up with him in the sky, but it'd be too much to have to endure the pain of a ripped wing. So, let's say Yurei attacks on the ground the same way she would have in the sky. Kyo charges forward as well, meeting her head on. He's careful to avoid the blades on her arms and legs. This becomes a battle of hand to hand. His claws swipe where ever he can find while also saving himself from her own claws leaving scratches on his scales. She has more to cut him with, but he's still tough to slice, especially for one not possessing the brute strength needed to really do damage like the other boys or cider or Akira. Still, he knows he can't do much else to attack lest he stress his body too much. Hopefully she will just tire herself out so he can return to helping Nami.
XD I thought that wind was superior in fairy tail world what with that guy early on. No matter. It still works. Kouga doesn't let up his assault on her until he sees her redirect his attack and add flames. Now, Kouga is a tough warrior, but he ain't fire proof. As such, he jumps away immediately. He moves in afterwards to meet Erza in battle. She's cut up, but she won go down like that. No way would Titania be so easy to beat. Kouga meets her head on in their new round of clashing with blades. Of course, he's still inferior as a swordsman, and she's not leaving any openings. So, he has to think up a new plan while defending himself. Of course, on occasion, he sends powerful blasts of air much like she does fire. For the most part, he's able to dodge, but every once in a while, he gets a burn on his body. He ignores the pain, though. Several minutes later, while their blades go in to be met, Kyo fires those wind blades again as he swings to meet her blade. This should push her back and give him an opportunity to try something new. His wings unfurl, and he takes to the sky. Once up their, he looks to Erza. If I remember right, she has no wings on empress armor. She will have to change it to meet him in the sky. Otherwise, he is careful to stay away from any flames she throws while blasting bullets and blades of wind at her. Especially as many likely bit the ground and kick up dust. He can use the dust for cover like the first time he landed a hit in this fight. Of course, he stays well above the cloud of smoke to have time to dodge her attacks should they be flames or another sort of attack from another armor.'

Ichigo indeed had only been holding back the urge to murder his opponent marginally when he first broke the seal. However, upon earning himself the gaping hole in his gut, all that nonsense is withdrawn. Goodbye marginal mercy. Therefore the clashes that are created between the two are beyond that of what has happened before the major wound. However at one point, despite the fact that the woman is matching him clash for clash, during their most recent one he brings his face rather close to hers, golden eyes staring into crimson ones with a thirst for blood. A point blank Cero is fired at her head to get some distance. He Sonidos to where he expects her to land before promptly spinning and kicking her away from him again. He Sonidos in order to appear before she can really stop her momentum and if you will, kicks her high into the sky. A low growl comes from his currently closed jaws as he leaps after her before Sonidoing one more time. This time he appears behind her, and takes the source of her upped power into his large free hand, forcing them to come together. "You lose," the growl comes out like a blood thirsty hiss. Before the woman can dematerialize from his grip, Zangetsu's white blade flashes down, cutting off the crimson feathered wings from the Angel's back, officially taking them away again. He revels in the blood that is the result of this occurrence, unfortunately he can't smile due to his mask. As her wings are cut off, the hole in his gut finishes healing, the Heirro immediately putting itself back in place while the rest of his front has been healed for the last couple of clashes. Even though she's wingless, he does not let her fall to the ground. Being as cruel as he is now, he catches her by her hair, and lets her dangle in the air by the stuff. He doesn't care if she's in pain; this is what she gets for thinking she can take his position as- "King, finish her off. Let her fall or kick her into the ground," Ocighi states to the Vasto Lorde with a lick of his lips, "It'd be fun". Ichigo is silent for a moment before complying, tossing the woman that I'm sure is currently in agony further into the air by her hair and then kicking her down into the sand when the time is right. Only after she's landed does he take to the sand himself, standing in front of her menacingly.
You didn't miss anything, I just read it wrong lol. No matter. Grimmjow all the while makes to dodge Bala after Bala sent his way. For the most part he is fast acting enough in order to not get hit too much. However there is one or two that does manage to hit and stun him, having come out of literally no where. Still, he continues to close in, not realizing that as the Balas kick up all the sand and dust, that there's a little trap in the dust waiting to meet its mark. However for now, he will remain on the offensive. Luckily for Cider, unlike Ichigo, Grimmjow does not have regenerative abilities that allow him to ignore the sudden pain that hits him like no tomorrow. Not only that, but for some obscure reason, his eyesight is rather unstable. He at one point manages to get rather close if you will, and lashes out with a set of claws only for him to marginally miss. Not because she dodges, but because his aim of all things was off. He stumbles even as his aim was off, disoriented. This allows the woman to either get him away by kicking him away or jumping away- whatever you prefer. Never the less, he's forced to stop and cough as though hacking out a hair ball. Instead, out comes a chunk of blood. His eyes narrow. "Son of a bitch! I swore I was strong enough to handle this power by now!" He thinks that the blood is caused by the same thing that caused it the first time he used Segunda Etapa; his body breaking down due to the power. Unknown to him, though, that is not the case. Still, once done hacking out the bit of blood, he continues his assault, starting back up with a Gran Rey Cero sent her way that allows him to follow it up with a more close and personal battle. Blood drips from his closed maw, "I have to finish this soon," he tells himself.
Unfortunately for Kyo, if it's one thing this girl has, it's stamina. Back before she had her abilities- when she was a normal human- she had none. However, fighting with these abilities almost constantly has quickly given her stamina that lasts her a decent while if she says so herself. Seeing as her last attack sent Kyo to the ground, we'll go with your idea and let her attack by foot instead of wing. The battle of hand to hand combat is a brutal one, his blocks reinforced by his scales making her arms and legs and hands hurt more than a normal block would. His counter attacks are as just as brutal as his blocks, also making this tussle one of the most intense ones she's had in her entire life. She'd say she's enjoying it, but she's not a fighting junkie like most of those in their group are. She prefers not to fight, however she obviously will if need be. She knows that her cuts are much more shallow than they would be if she had more force behind her strikes. However, she also has just the right amount of precision needed in order to allow her to hit the same cuts the same way, that way they become deeper than they were before. Because she can fly and he can't, like he had once done she uses this to her advantage. However instead of going high up, she stays low and only uses her wings to give her a height boost when needed. Such as when she jumps over a kick of his during their battle, goes above his head and shoots some more bone spears at him from behind. These spears seem to be doing the most damage, so why the hell not stick with it?
XD He was only stronger than Natsu because he had more flexibility to his element than Natsu. None the less, even though he is inferior to her in the art of sword play, she can't help but note that in time he will be better than her. Still, as he lets out another blast of air, this is met and over powered by the fire that meets it. However, when he separates from her she has no choice but to look up as for the time being she stays in her Flame Empress armor. The dust that he kicks up is definitely something that she is not a fan of, as it doesn't allow her to see the sharp wind blades that come her way and therefore she's stuck barely dodging them all whilst getting shallow cuts on places not protected. The bullets also do damage, hitting her mostly where she is protected but still doing enough to bruise her from under her armor. Eventually she gets tired of this game of 'guess where the air is going to hit?'. Therefore, she switches to her newest armor, the White Wing armor. Like her Black Wing armor, it allows her to take flight, which is exactly what she does. Out of the cloud of dust she comes like a fired cannon. She stops before suddenly disappearing from Kouga's sight much like she did in the Naruto would. As a reminder, this baby heightens her sight and her hearing, as well as allows her to control illusions as she pleases other than letting her fly. After disappearing from her sight, the blue metalled blade in her grasp cuts through the air and at Kouga unforgivingly and at a rather impressive speed. However she gives him no chance to block, as just as he makes to do so she disappears again. When she reappears, she's behind him and momentarily re-equipping into her Black Wing armor. She rushes him, lashing out at him by cutting at him in the form of a cross, "Moon Flash!"

Akira indeed jumps away to avoid the cero sent her way. She readies herself to take on Ichigo as soon as she lands, but she doesn't get to land. A surprising foot lands on her, and she grunts as her body is flung high into the air from the force. Before the angel has a chance to collect herself and get some distance, her sensitive, fragile wings are snatched up by Ichigo. For once this entire battler, those crimson eyes widen. Even in the form of light, her wings can be caught and what not. She struggles desperately to make him let go. Multiple bullets of light are launched where ever she can reach him, and she tries to burn his hands through where her wings are grabbed. Her body twists as she tries to kick and claw herself free. However, it's all in vein. Her eyes widen as far as they can at the sight of Zangetsu being raised and brought down on her wings, hacking them clean off. A piercing shriek is emitted from the angel as blood pours out of her body. Desperately, as Ichigo grabs her hair and holds her in the sky, she tries to regrow her wings. After all, she can still wield light. She just isn't as fast and strong, and she also has to thing to heal herself, and she tires out. Light shines from her back in a desperate attempt to regrow her wings, but that is not something she can do now. No, all the light does is stop the bleeding and close up the wound into the v-shaped scar it once was. Still, Akira's body doesn't rid itself from the sensation of pain. It's so great, she's on the verge of calling unconscious. By the time she is thrown to ground, the scream subsided to a ragged breathing as Akira's body continues to a he and sting from the amputation. She barely registers when she's thrown and kicked to the ground. All she knows is she's suddenly there, ragged and broken. She doesn't get up or keep fighting. The blood on her back, though the bleeding stopped, is still enough to drip down into the sand and get soaked up. Meanwhile, the marines continue to stared agape at the fierce creature. Even smoker by now was scared, though he refused to let it be shown. Hehe
Meanwhile, Cider continues her assault as mentioned. However, she smiles wide when she notices Grimmjow missed her during one his his attacks. She doesn't dodge him when that happens. No, he gets a foot to his chest that kicks him back. Just before the blood is coughed up, she chimes towards him, "You lose, Grimmjow!" She knows now the mist is affecting him. That hollow would not have missed her just then otherwise. Her point is further proven when he hacks up blood. All she needs to do is wait for him to collapse from blood lose and pain. Knowing him, he won't go down until he is truly too weak to fight let alone stay conscious. So, after he's down coughing up blood, Cider braces for a way to help speed up this process. No longer in need of balas, she resorts to good old fashioned fists and acids. She evades the GrannRey Cero and meets Grimmjow with a spiked fist to his face. Should she miss, she shrugs it off. She reaches out to grab his paws, snatching them claws and all in her own hands. Immediately, she unleashes her acid as strong as it can get with out melting Miraikou away. "If you admit defeat, I can at least stop the Chrystal's from doing further damage to your body," she informs Grimmjow. She doubts he'll take such an offer. He can at least try, though. And try she does. If he doesn't admit it, she will just continue to melt away his body, betting on Akira's healing abilities to patch him up later, until he passes out or at least collapses.
XD, that's right! Hit him in the same spots! It works too. Kyo for the most part is successful in blocking her claws and fin like blades on her arms and legs. He even sneaks in gashes of his own on her if you don't mind. However, the dragon does come to notice her strategy as but by bit, the slips she gets by him grant her cuts right along where he's already cut. Like the hollows, he's as soft as any person internally. It's the scales a person has to get past, and Yurei's figured out a method. Kyo doesn't let this realization show in his expression. He just hardens his will to avoid her hitting him any more. When she jumps into the sky, he knows well the intention since he did the same earlier. Only, instead of fire, she throws spears of bone. Kyo darts around them skillfully, and he even throws fire back at her. They're not long bursts of flame. No, he gives short, broad streams of fire to her before darting away, well aware she can use the fire as cover for her own attacks like the one she used to put a hole in her wing. He can't go after her, but he sure can be careful not to be bit with those nasty spears.
Yea, I figured she'd be meeting wind with fire. XD so, that's why Kouga got out of there to force her to switch to an armor that isn't control his natural enemy. He does the dust cloud and wind attacks since that's worked before, but he doesn't expect her to stay that way for long. Indeed she isn't as she switches to the armor Kouga remembers well from before. It's what made Erza so disliked by Kouga since she presented an illusion that was more like a memory. He braces himself, and he moves to meet her head on only to find her behind him all of a sudden. His eyes wide even the tiniest bit as he reflexively twirls to meet her blade. Of course, she disappears before he can touch her sword only to appear again from behind him. Since he's supposed to lose, let's say that the attack is a bit. He gasps as all of a sudden, the tearing sensation of flesh comes from behind. He's sent forward a little ways, but he catches himself before he falls to the ground. There's a large, cross-shaped injury on his back, and blood seeps from it rather easily. Surprised, Kouga stares at Erza in her new armor a moment before he shakes it off to start a counter attack. He immediately unleashes a barrage of bullets and blades of wind that cut through buildings and ground easily as they are aimed at her. As he does so, the normal wind in the city is disrupted. Instead of the light, steady flow of wind, it's not choppy and strongly blowing which ever way and colliding like ripples after drops fall in water. The barrage lasts a long time, and finally, after maybe five minutes of it, Kouga follows up the wind blades with his own claws to clash with her sword violently.

In his current state, Ichigo cares not how much pain he's causing her to be in. She could be almost dying and he could care less at the moment. However, upon seeing that the woman isn't trying to get back up, he Sonidos down to the ground and appears in front of her. He ignores the fact that she is still in quite a good deal of pain, and picks her up by the front of her shirt after finding it. His other hand, that holds her wings as Zangetsu is gotten rid of and allowed to rest, is her wings. Without needing him to make a hand gesture as he does when donning it, a mere thought takes off his mask and reseals him to his weakest state. With the dismissal of his mask, everything else that isn't normal fades away. That is, the mask itself, the white skin and the markings. However, the long hair, Hollow hole and golden and black eyes as you know stay as they've always been there. "Well," he speaks up, his ability to speak completely back to normal. His voice is a little gravelly due to the screaming he had done in his fully unsealed state, but no matter. "It looks like I win this round as well," he continues, "And you remain the weaker of us two...It was a good fight though. Really it was". He sighs, and tosses her blood covered wings to the side with practically no care in the world. Instead of holding her up by nothing but the front of her shirt, he shifts to holding her bridal style. "Where's Kurogane? I'll take you to him," after all, he's sure she wouldn't let a baby- even if he is a mix breed of demon and angel- near a battle even close to the magnitude of their fight.
Grimmjow growls at the pain that wracks its way through his body with every movement he makes. "I lose when my body gives up!" He snaps at the woman through the blood that dribbles past his pearly fangs. Even so, she mre so nicks him when she punches him in the face. It's only his intuition that allows him to barely miss getting hit head on. However he still ends up with a good hit on his jaw. With his body internally wounded, it's harder for him to keep up his Heirro, making it weaker. Even so, he stumbles upon getting nicked, and doesn't have a real chance to keep her from grabbing at his paws and releasing potent acid on them. He yowls his pain as any feline would, his tails whipping around in aggravation and the pain mentioned. "I'll give up when I'm dead," he snarls out, dribbling blood onto the sand as after a few moments of being daze from the punch, he begins to struggle. He ignores the damage he's doing to himself, only caring for the win that they're both shooting for. However, there comes a time and place when even the most powerful must give in to the pain placed on- or in his case, in- their bodies and call it a match. Now, Grimmjow as we know is no where near the strongest. However, he is quite powerful. Unfortunately for him.....His body can take no more. Against his will, his vision becomes blurry with a pained haze. His thrashing slows. His breathing becomes less frantic for freedom. And then.....He's out cold. The last thing he remembers doing while turning back to his normal self, Pantera returning to his hip, is damning his weakness.
Yurei in the mean time can feel fatigue coming upon her person. She can feel her human body finally reaching its limit in how long it can fight before shutting down on her. It's at this moment that she damns her human limitations, but there's nothing she can do in order to get rid of the limitations. Nothing short of asking the Witch to turn her into something powerful like a demon or something....But she's happy as a human so she's not ever gonna request anything like that. Having the power to fight is enough for her. The bursts of fire keep her from using the element as cover, however it's no matter. Her wings allow her to make her way around the streams save for about three or four for the time that she keeps her aerial attack up. There is a burn mark on her stomach where she was hit, then two on her right leg and another on her left arm. Nothing like charcoal for skin as she's sure he could manage to do if he wanted. But enough to be at least second degree burns. With the thought of her physical limit coming up soon, she decides that landing would be the best way. However, she needs cover for her finishing move. The result is her needing to act quickly. Already starting the move by the time he sends his most recent stream of fire at her, she dive bombs towards it, her wings wrapping around her to protect her and her arms sticking up and over her head as to make the tip of the drill that her body forms; her arms become covered in bone barbs. Should Kyo not dodge, or should he indeed do so, it doesn't matter as sand and dust is kicked up to her advantage. By the time the dust clears, Kyo will find himself in a fairly decent trap. The cage he is forced to stand in is that in the shape of a bird cage, the inside of the bars each being lined with spikes. She herself stands in a fighting stance, right foot forward and fingers splayed as though she were ready to play with a puppet. "Yield Kyo," she warns him, "I have you trapped and I have a hold of your bones. Try to resist and you're getting impaled on a bunch of spikes". None of which could kill him, but still they're rather dangerous.
Erza mentally smirks to herself as her pretty blue blade is given Kouga's blood with that little stunt she pulled. And while she will not be pulling any memory-illusions ever again, that doesn't mean that she can't continue with the general perfected illusions that she can do. However, before she can really do anything, the barrage of wind comes at her. Crashing into her frame relentlessly and obviously out for blood. She crashes into a building, and thinks fast in order to not take too much damage. This means that she has to switch from her White Wing armor and to her Adamant armor, which holds strong despite the chips she can hear coming off here and there as a result of the wind master's power. She can barely think before after five minutes of just constantly holding her ground, she's forced to switch to her White Wing armor again. Claws heavily clash with the blue blade that now has his dried blood on it. She leads the way into a retreating sword vs. claws battle, being on the defensive the whole time. That is until suddenly she lashes out at his feet, ducking down low in order to do so. Whether he dodges or blocks or does neither, it does not matter. Because the Adamant armor Erza had been nothing but a perfect illusion. So when the Erza that goes for his knees suddenly disappears, the real Erza appears to take him from behind. The illusion Erza disappeared the moment the real one switched from her White Wing armor to her Heaven's Wheel armor. This is what she wears as she stands behind him, blade at his throat while two more point at each of his lungs. She knows that if she takes out both of them, he's as good as dead unless they get to Akira right away. "Robin is a good woman, Crocodile is a good man," she tells him from her spot, "Come to our side so we can get things done faster, and then make our way to the next world".
