A warning to the people, to the good and the evil, this is war.To the soldier's, civilians, the captains, and towards the victims. That this is war.I believe in nothing. Not the end and not the start.I shall believe in nothing.Not the earth and not the stars. I only believe in nothing. Not in Satan, nor in god. This world rots, and decays. The dualism of Good and Evil, are nothing but categories created by egoistic humans. What kind of governing brings them happiness? As long as there's an enemy they could stay as one. They use the blade that can shatter mountains for something worthless as peeling an apple. This world is nothing more than people wasting away, and it made him angry, but he never showed his anger, not to anyone, his ideals were his own.

The footsteps thou this city, that its peaceful days seemed to be under attack, as humans running for they're Lives in a frantic manner as the Three Meno's Leveled Hollows Terrorized the surrounding area- Sending bala's and ceros where ever they could. Zefonse himself, watching from the shadows as the captain fought, such recklessness, these hollows had no mind, nor reason in them, there hunger for souls was to strong, it made Zefonse gain a distasteful feeling in his mouth, to think that these hollows attack without reason other than hunger, sure the hollow invasion was co and the world was almost taken, few city's left, and a few people still living in areas that are known as safe zones from hollows. But its pointless after all.

Saitama was the capital and was the most populous city.Prefecture in Japan, situated in the south-east of the prefecture. Its area incorporates the former cities of Urawa, Ōmiya, Yono and Iwatsuki. It is a city designated by government ordinance. Being in the Greater Tokyo Area and lying 15 - 30 kilometres north of central Tokyo, many of its residents commute into Tokyo. Now its just a little safe zone, that shall vanish withes a few hours if this captain cant kill the hollows. the captain seemed skilled enough, using his body to attack fast and hard using reach to kill the hollows, in quick manner, but he was lucky, that they given up there mind for greater physical power. Adjuchas, are the second classification of Menos. They are smaller than Gillians and far fewer in number. However, they're much smarter and stronger than Gillians. They're often the ones who lead Gillians into battle. Adjuchas are commonly solitary creatures rarely joining into groups. They are powerful enough to challenge a captain of the Gotei 13. For three of them must of meant they were weaker than normal, if they where at any level near there true level of power than the captain would of been out matched.

The captain now seemed to be resting after that, Zefonse thought it is time for himself to appear, Now The dark begins to rise. Leave the lost and dead behind, now your chance to run for cover. He dons't want to change the world, He just want to leave it colder make sure nothing left. Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to nowhere. Show him where forever dies. Silently walking towards the captain, but stops when he notices a injured woman laying on the ground.

"Such a cruel fate, don't you agree captain of the Gotei?"

His voice must of sounded like it came out of nowhere and his reaitsu levels where hidden, no hint of how strong he really was, in this manner, Zefonse seemed to relaxed even with all the dead around him, even his his power hidden the humans around here slowly started to die out, the fate of those to weak to stand near the strong in the hollow world, but they where already weak willed to begin with. Zefonse looked at the captain once more, what shall he do, try to fight, or to reason?

The cycle continues in an never ending battle, war, creates hell The pain comes back in an ugly design. This is how Zefonse views soul reapers and hollows, and every other race, hollows simply wanted to feed and live on there own, while soul reapers kill them without thought, there are some hollows who don't act like wild animals, but they are killed without pause, some wanted peace, but where killed when trying to do so. The once lively city now all silent. One by one the Hollow heroes separate, Zefonse looked at Yuri. His movement was smart, disabling the kido to better his defenses. When Zefonse went for his midsection he backed away about two feet. Normal for a experience captain, such as Yuri, since after all you never know what one might do. And Yuri had the knack of using surprises, after all, in this fight up to that point, Yuri has mixed kido with his attacks, and used range to his edge, as if trying to figure out Zefonse own mannerism and powers. But the next move Yuri did was even greater amount of honor to his skill. Seki.

Seki is primarily used for deflection. The user generates a orb of light blue energy that rebounds an attack when said attack makes contact with it. The effect not only blocks the attack but repels whatever strikes it. Yuri used his reflexes and timing of the move. As Seki came into contact which his blade, it sent Yuri backward sliding about three feet, the other way. the Seki shattered like it was nothing, this wasn't due to his blades, but the difference in power of Yuri and Zefonse himself. The aura was only a sign that there was a cero in his blades, making physical strikes made onto the opponent will be drastically enhanced, capable of cutting through extremely durable Hierro and even stopping other enhanced cutting blades. Even thou it can in theory shatter kido barriers. There was still a large gap in terms of power between Yuri and Zefonse, but Yuri was crafty indeed. Zefonse was enjoying this captains creativity so far, thou it didn't show on his face, his eyes narrowed.

Zefonse body relaxed, and his muscles tighten up in his forearms, his stance, still in a defense manner, moving them every so slightly, Zefonse noticed a gash on Yuri right hand the same one that cast the kido, he was lucky not to lose it, Zefonse might need to use a faster slash next time, there a opening. Zefonse eyes narrowed on Yuri's movements. "That same Aura around your sword now, Isn't the same from the one that surrounded you before is it ? That other aura seemed to make me Fatigued a lot sooner then usual. You got my hand Good Zefonse, Broke through my Bakudo with ease it seems..." no point in lying in a battle.

"No this aura, is a completely different effect in whole"

Yuri eyes seem to flare up in excitement, Zefonse eyes locked on, Yuri already went in and garbed his Zanpakuto. The was air is thick with fear, covering the whole once proud city now. The day of reckoning might as well be here, now that the city shall become more serious. the captain might have to choose his next words carefully. Cause they might be your last. A fire like spark in Yuri eyes seems ever so powerful, amazing he hasn't used bankai yet. Might be saving it for a trump card. just like Zefonse saves his true self to give him a edge.

The Bankai is the second and final upgraded form of a Zanpakutō. To achieve Bankai, one must be able to materialize and subjugate their Zanpakutō spirit. Materialization means the opposite of getting dragged into the Zanpakutō's inner world. Instead the wielder needs to summon the Zanpakutō's spirit into the physical world. It usually takes 10 years or more to achieve, plus the experience needed to master it. The power and forms of Shikai and Bankai are dependent on the Zanpakutō. They also vary according to the wielder's strength and training. But in general, one's power can grow 5 to 10 times greater.Only the strongest Shinigami can use it. It is also the ultimate technique of a Zanpakutō. Even the Four noble families, whose members are always exceptionally talented, have a member capable of Bankai only every few generations. Those who achieve Bankai always have remarkable roles in the history of Soul Society. Zefonse wonders if he can push Yuri to his bankai now.

Zefonse, stance quickly changed once Yuri went lunging at him, Zefonse eye's moved to the right, even before Yuri Shunpo to his right flank. Yuri was spinning Zanpakuto once for dramatic fashion?, Yuri Swings his Zanpakuto at Zefonse midsection. Simultaneously releasing a wave of flames that was three inches thick. clever. But with his telekinesis he made reaitsu form a thick barrier between himself and the attack, the physical hit mixed with the flames make a large blast on Zefonse area, covering him with what seemed to be smoke and flames, but just as Yuri would Shunpo to his left flank and swing his Scythe downward with his full force, placing his right hand on the shaft for more downward force, Zefonse would throw up his blades to catch the Scythe in between the blades, making sure he was far away from the flames it self, would be a problem if they hit, but the reaitsu barrier placed a lot of stress on his body when he used it.

Yuri just now had shunpo backward about four feet as he gained a Defensive stance. His scythe was held in front of him on an angle. Zefonse leaned forward, his blades aura still going strong, he was going to try to slice thou the defense in front of him. Zefonse didn't let his reaitsu levels hide anymore, they skyrocketed to levels beyond what a captain can use, it made the hollows body in the area burst into dust, and many hollow screams can be heard as they vanish in death. Zefonse jumped into the air and threw himself to Yuri coming from above, with all the force in his left arm, he sliced down at great speeds towards Yuri, Simultaneously releasing the cero trapped inside at full power, on impact with anything, it shall create truly enormous explosion in the shape of pillar of frost white coloring, and forming a large crater in its wake. Zefonse would then dashed towards Yuri left side, Zefonse movements now look like a mix of Iaido and Bajiquan.

Bajiquan It uses the eight parts of the body, as the law of this martial art is to not only perfect one part of the body, but to use everything, hence the name which directly translates to "Eight Extremities Fist" Each part is an extension of the body. Everything is included and nothing is left alone. Zefonse attack was a sword version of Six Grand Opening Elbow Upthrust of Bajiquan, Zefonse acts like he going to use his Zanpakuto by making a motion to attack with it in this case, aiming at Yuri left side, making the foe believe he shall counter this move.

Then just as quickly tossing his blade in the air to throw off the targert, and performs an double-strike to eye ridge, slide down between blinded target's rising arms, precision nerve strike to throat, secondary nerve strike to counter natural defense, and last two hits towards the foes heart area, while keeping lethal force at the upmost low, so that the chances of killing with this move is unlikely. the foe afterwards shall fall to the ground stunned for a single post. To onlookers watching this move they would only be able to discern a single attack rather then six hits.

Hit or miss, Zefonse jumped far back still holding one sword, while the other is laying on the ground, shifting sword styles into a more Kendo style with his single blade, Zefonse awaits Yuri actions, Zefonse knowing using his other blade like that was risking since it can make a large opening on Zefonse him self, its not to stay he escaped unharmed, during Yuri assault Zefonse took some blue flames to his arm, which was blown away but it quickly healed, these flames where cold and new to Zefonse. What shall this captain think of next?

I have never lost a battle. All who resist will fall. The God of battle is what I have become. Anything is possible for me now as the world is in ever lasting fear. To save the world I shall lead this world to its ending. Once those who face me you face an unstoppable force. Ideals is something everyone has, but are never stronger than those who wish to end everything. We existed from the beginning of time, we are souls. We are never ending, if we die, we shall be reborn as something new, be it a hollow, or humans. This is the path we all walk, if we die in battle, we shall only be reborn, so there is never true death, only the loss of the person that was. When one is reborn they shall lose all memories and powers they once had in a past life. a cruel fate. Like those that died today, this fight shall end. With the cries of those who died on his side. This fallen warrior shall show his true power. Tired of dull ages, I walk the same ground, collecting the tragedies still.Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind,carried my cross to the hill. Shattered hope became my guide,and grief and pain my friends a brother pact in blood-ink penned,declared my silent end

Zefonse noticed his punches where blocked by the wings of Yuri. As Zefonse claws were fired off at extremely high speeds towards Yuri. Yuri sung his Zanpakuto upward, and to the right swiftly to deflect the Claw Strike. Good timing, just enough time to buy for him to regrow his new claw's to make up for the old ones. Yuri was quick, to notice the afterimage trick. Normally people catch on to late. So Yuri used his wings to block most of the punches all sixteen of them. Truly impressive. After he crashed into the ground. The passive power of Zefonse went off on Yuri. Making more blast of before he even got up. "Fuck...I knew something was amiss....Damn wings didn't Dissipate Fast enough...If It wasn't for Shouorekka...I'd be done right here..." He heard Yuri say. Zefonse only chuckled to himself, this soul reaper has guts.

Yuri standing up looked painful, and Yuri summoning his Reiatsu around him in form of Flames. Heh, so he got some fight left in him. It seemed he made new wings. Zefonse stance did not even change. Zefonse movement only changed slightly as Yuri behind him. "Go No Ougi... Blazing Hearts!!" Another flame attack. Turning around completely Zefonse raised his arms slightly in front of him at the same time the shadow lance moved quickly in front of him. Just as two Jet streams of Blue Flames from the Two appendages on the top of the "X" mark on the ground. Curving outward and then in, Creating a Heart-Like Symbol on the ground- It's total shape being about 4 Feet in Diameter. The Two Streams of Flames meet as It lights up the Heart like glyph on the ground as a Pillar of Flames erupts from it. Zefonse just then the flames vanished as if the shadow lance ate them all with no problems.

The next move however caught Zefonse off guard. Yuri appearing on his left Flank and starts slashing him from all directions while jumping and Shunpoing around the enemy. The speed of Yuri slashes gradually increases, becoming quicker and more furious with each strike. After slashing About Twenty Times, he then dash through Zefonse with a single powerful strike, landing an additional four hits on the enemy; As this Whole New Assault was taking Place, Yuri was Saying. "Let's finish this! O brilliant blade of coldest steel, rend the infinite darkness, and crush my enemies to nothing!...This is my New Hi Ougi...Zankou Roueijin!!!!!!" Zefonse shadow lance faded away. As Zefonse fell backwards as if defeated by then he vanished. But he seemed damage.

"Impressive, but is that your limit?"

Zefonse voice suddenly behind Yuri. while Yuri was indeed 7 feet away from where Zefonse was at formerly. While Zefonse was damaged from the attack, he showed no signs of damage, even no blood marks. Zefonse even seemed very relaxed, something wasn't right. Zefonse started to walk towards him, and started to talk. in tone that should drive fear into anyone.

"Did you wake from that Illusion? Did you really think I was that fast? After all you breathed in the red mist that laid around."

Zefonse still ever walking, stopped nearly ten feet from Yuri. Looking at him, giving a strange sign something was amiss. It seemed Zefonse has vanished again, not using sonido but rather very vast movements. Zefonse was now 3 feet from Yuri. And now in his front. Zefonse still talking in the same tone. A slight laugh can be heard.

"I shall tell you my power. I can create Illusion that complete control the sense of touch,smell, taste, and hearing. Like Aizen, Unlike him however. I can not trap them forever in them, Once they think they had defeated me, or catch me off guard. That when it ends. But since the Illusion ended, let me show you the difference in us. Here You might as well take this back."

Zefonse moved his arm in a swing manner, and out of nowhere those flames from Yuri Blazing Hearts came shooting out. Like they where stolen by Zefonse himself when was tried to be used on him. This must of been insane, at lest 3 feet between then, and all the flames shooting out in a straight forward line. All going for Yuri, Zefonse then vanished again, if that attacked hit or missed he shall appear on Yuri right flank. Then using a powerful sonido making a large sonic boom as a result, using a fury of slash's aiming to remove the blade arm of Yuri in that single dash, then another sonido towards Yuri again aiming to damage his lower body area. Trying to remove a chuck of flesh. Zefonse would then appear would sonido once more way above Yuri.

"Onda Rojos"

Generateing an orb composed of orange concentrated spirit energy from the palm of his hands. Zefonse instantly casting it four times in a single waving motion. Each wave expels eighteen energy blasts at a tremendous speed and Zefonse is able to control the direction, size, and power of these energy blasts and cause them to gather around Yuri and implode upon itself. The blasts are known to be easily destroyed but due to the vast amount expelled, they normal cannot all be destroyed and will typically overwhelm the target with their numbers.he speed is at bala level speed, while the power can change, the power itself can never reach fatal levels, as a single orb can only do stun damage. While overwhelming those at Yuri, Zefonse dashed one last time. Aiming to do a fateful twin slash on Yuri shoulder area's and end with a round house kick.

After all that Zefonse landed on the ground, the red mist. Started to vanish, as the red shell of Zefonse, turning into energy, it went in front of Zefonse himself, taking form of his twin Zanpakuto's as they took a solid form. Zefonse laughed to himself, as he looked around him, at this destroyed city. This world can't hold him. Let alone handle his power. He looked at Yuri who may or may not took those hits. Zefonse stared at him. With his voice back to normal.

"I well say this, you give me a good workout"

Zefonse wasn't undermining Yuri powers at all, he did indeed give Zefonse a good time today. This fight was fun, but he noticed Yuri was way weaker than before. And Yuri may or may not even been ready for those attacks. Zefonse moved his left hand to the back of him, making a Garganta. A Garganta literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway. It is primarily used by Hollow and Arrancar. Zefonse step in it, and waited before leaveing to await Yuri actions. All the while he placed his blades to the side.

"The next time we meet, captain of the gotei, I do hope you can see passed those Illusions"

Distress.

It was felt across the entirety of soul society. The residual pressure of it, against one of their own, was not something they would miss. First division was relaying capture orders, and the gotei, in its entirety, was preparing for the worst outcome of this rescue mission.

Why was the rescue mission necessary? That was an easy one. One of their own, a shinigami, had gotten involved with the cero espada. That much was clear. It was also now apparent that Yuri had been injured. Gravely injured.

So, a rescue mission had been put into effect. There had been no cause for any large operation, just a single shinigami sent in to deal with the problem. However, it could not have been any average shinigami. Most would not have been able to deal with Zefonse's spiritual pressure once they entered the area. No. It had to be someone stoic, strong, levelheaded, and above all, powerful. For this task, they chose Byakuya Kuchiki. Head of the Kuchiki clan and former captain of sixth division. The most noble Byakuya who had bested the seventh espada during the winter war. Byakuya's current position was in the dangai precipice world, already having passed through the senkaimon and made sure today was not one of those that the cleaner would be an issue. The destination for the opposite Senkaimon to open up was already set. Everything was in place. It wouldn't be long now before..

There. The light that signified the end of his route. Walking towards it, Byakuya could hear the familiar "thunk" of the senkaimon opening to allow him exit into the human world. When he did step out, it was more of a stride than a step, his noble nature carrying into his walk as well. Byakuya kept his face calm as he observed the battlefield. Destruction, blood.. the usual effects of battle on the environment. Byakuya looked over at the body of Yuri. The man looked like death. But that's what happens when you face the Cero Espada alone.

Byakuya took a step forward, his slate grey eyes kept on zefonse as he crossed over to Yuri, tossing his noble scarf over his shoulder and picking the man up, turning back to the Senkaimon. "Listen to me, Arrancar." Byakuya started, his voice carrying the pride he's kept over the years, and his expression doing the same as he refused to make eye contact with zefonse, his disrespect and arrogance evident. "I do not acknowledge you as a worthy opponent of any kind. I will not cross blades with you here. It is a hundred years too soon for you to die by my hand. I am simply taking one of our injured and leaving you be. Do not try and stop me."

With that, Byakuya flashstepped back into the Senkaimon from whence he came, the double-doors closing shut with a slam as the noble disappeared back into soul society to take the injured Yuri to twelfth division to get that arm of his replaced.. He really didn't trust that Gintoki.. his actions didn't sit right with Byakuya.. in many ways, he was worse than Mayuri, the former captain of the same division. And that was saying something...

Maybe another time, Yuri could best Zefonse.. but this day, this time.. he was beaten. This time.. the best option was retreat.
