All the vizards and Kisuke looked around at each other. None of them could quite figure out what had just happened. One second Kensei and Maya were arguing, the next she was sprinting out the door. After recovering from the shock though they all took off after her.


Maya kept running until she just collapsed from exhaustion in the middle of a clearing in the woods. She crawled over to one of the trees surrounding the clearing and settled down to rest. For the moment, she thought, she would be safe. That was until she felt a presence above her.

"What the...?"

She looked up just in time to see a garganta closing above her as 2 arrancars jumped at her. She leapt away from her tree towards the middle of the clearing where she drew her zanpakuto and took her stance. She inspected her opponents to see if she could form a strategy.

The first arrancar was very pale with jet black hair, emerald eyes and a mask that looked like a helmet. He wore the standard pants of any arrancar but the back ends of his jacket were very long and trailed on the second had blue hair and eyes and was wearing a mask that followed his jaw. Like the other he wore the standard pants but his jacket was open and only made it to the bottom of his ribs, instead of all the way to his hips.

She stared at them for a while. Wondering what they would do next and hoping that she could hold them off. A slight change in the first arrancar's stance gave her a milliseconds warning before something collided with her zanpakuto and she was sent flying back.


The vizards picked up the pace as they felt the spiritual pressure of Maya as well as that of 2 arrancar. They sped towards the location where they were fighting praying to get there in time to help her fight them off. All the vizards worried about her. Wondering if she would collapse again during the fight.


Back with Maya, she was having a harder time fighting them off then she had initially thought. At first, it hadn't been so hard since the 2 arrancar weren't working together. They had attacked her individually making it much easier to fend them off. However when they had teamed up against her she'd started to have trouble, and in her weakened state she wasn't sure she could hold them off for much longer.

Just as the second arrancar was about to strick her she felt the other vizards spiritual pressure. The second that happened she lost her focus and ended up being sent crashing through several tree and landing in another clearing.

"Careful Grimmjow. Aizen wants her alive." The first arrancar warned.

"Oh shut up! What is with you and Aizen? If she isn't coming quietly then we'll take her by force." The one known as Grimmjow responded.

Maya looked up at the two through blurring eyes. She couldn't see very well anymore due to the fact that when she had hit the tree she'd given herself a concussion and a large gash across the back of her head, which was now bleeding into her eyes. Her vision stained red she could just barely see the pale arrancar coming towards her. The last thing she remembered was something hitting the pressure point on her neck and hearing someone calling her name.


The vizards ran in to the clearing only to see Maya being hoisted onto one of the vizards shoulders. She was unconsious and her zanpakuto was hanging limply from her fingers. The arrancar lept into the air and opened a garganta. They turned and made their way into it, the metalic sound of Maya's zanpakuto hitting the ground ringing in the air.
