Toshiro swung his blade at Yammy, firing another dragon composed of ice and water at him. The dragon roared and jetted at the said Arrancar with a threatening look as Toshiro screamed, "HYOURINMARU!".
Yammy just smirked and took the hit, the dragon completely freezing his entire body. "Geez, you're… SUCH A WEAKLING!" he broke out of the ice and jetted himself towards Toshiro quite threateningly with a Cero charging as he then thrust his free fist forward, firing off a Bala.
Toshiro quickly evaded such an attack and swung his sword at Yammy, launching yet another dragon.
Yammy evaded the attack, and fired a threatening, dark red Cero.
"Damn!" Toshiro cursed and evaded the attack as quick as he could, the burst of energy just barely brushing by his left shoulder, but it still burned it! He winced as the burning feeling coursed through his body's nervous system, "So this is how strong an Arrancar really can be… but…" He tried to remember his battle with one of Grimmjow's Fraccion, "That guy… wasn't as strong as this one…"
"READY TO DIE?!" the enraged Yammy then fired off twin Cero from both his hands, both blasts mixing into one large blast of dark red energy!
Toshiro's eyes shot open as his entire background disappeared, as well as the energy blast and Yammy. All that was left was a black space of nothing more than machines and computers and such. "Damnit, I wasn't able to beat him…," Toshiro muttered to himself.
"I'm sorry, Captain Hitsugaya, but it looks like that Arrancar would've overwhelmed you no matter what. I guess we can declare him an Espada if he could do such a feat so easily," Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled.
"Then you try doing better than me while analyzing the opponent!" Toshiro commanded in complaint.
"Sorry, but I find that one Arrancar to be boring, especially since we don't have any battle data on any Espada," the man chuckled. "However, it was fun to see you lose so easily to that one…"
Toshiro twitched as his veins crossed, prepared to say something really impolite. Instead, he just turned away, "That means us as Captains must continue to improve ourselves… Kisuke Urahara has no information whatsoever on the further evolutions of Hollows, and no battle data recollection for any of them. The ones Ichigo has dealt with are the only ones we can train from, but even so, their complete battle data isn't useful… The energy composition that was left on him after our hard battles were traces of a mere Adjuchas Arrancar…"
"I know. However, we must train with the very little information…," Mayuri said with a boring tone in his voice…
In the other training room…
Byakuya precisely launched a quick strike with Senbon Zakura towards Ulquiorra, the deadly flower petals chasing behind his quick speed with ease. "You cannot escape…," he swung his arm, making the attack move faster than before.
Ulquiorra evaded the attack with precision once more, aiming a Cero at him, "Cero…" The flash of red light burst forth quickly, blasting right through the flower petals and towards Byakuya with immediate danger!
Byakuya calmly created several walls with Senbon Zakura, thus evading danger with simple ease. I'm not using Bankai yet, I understand that this is the Arrancar's presumed, basic abilities, but to be this formidable with my Shikai, I'll admit this will be difficult against the real things…
Ulquiorra appeared directly in front of Byakuya, ready to strike in a killing blow.
Byakuya reacted with precision, ducking and disappearing with Shunpo, reappearing right above Ulquiorra with his palm pointed at him. Each and every Senbon Zakura petal then quickly gathered upon Ulquiorra, slashing from every direction even close to possible until he was struck down into nothingness… The battleground ceased, while Ulquiorra also disappeared, leaving the petals with nothing to kill any longer…
"Byakuya, I admit you're powerful, but there's still the fact that you weren't careful. You struck with precise movement, but…," Jushiro knew that Byakuya was getting what he was about to say.
"We need more information on these creatures if we wish to win," Byakuya said calmly as he then walked away with his Zanpakutou now intact once more.
"I know, and we'll get on that right away! We just need some more memories from battling Arrancars and some energy traces to get it right…," Jushiro said, sounding somewhat full of hope.

Ichigo panted, the blue aura still glowing in his soft, chocolate brown eyes as he sliced through his 25th barrier with difficulty. "Damn old man… am I getting it..?" he huffed heavily, trying to keep Tensa Zangetsu in his hands as sweat dripped from his body, making the grip on Tensa Zangetsu slightly slippery.
"You're getting it, but it seems to me that you've tired out too easily, Ichigo Kurosaki," Hacchigen smiled at him. "Why not take a rest for now my boy, you're doing very well for someone who's only trained for nearly a whole month.
"No… I need… to keep… training…," he imagined the eyes of panic that Orihime had, as well as the fact that she got smacked down, as well as the beating that Chad took…. "I don't want to see those faces ever again… those faces of despair… those faces of anguish, and the faces of those whom are dying… I can't stand it…," Ichigo struggled to keep himself standing as he raised a hand over his face. Black Spiritual Energy began to gather on his palm, taking the form of his Vizard mask once more, "I cannot…" His eyes turned gold with black sclera as he then dramatically removed his hand from his face, "allow myself to ever see those faces again!" Seemingly, a black Getsuga was being charged with a red outline as he then jumped towards the barrier and sliced with the Getsuga still on his sword, slashing through that one with complete ease.
All of the Vizards' eyes shot open in immediate surprise to Ichigo's feat. Hacchigen thought Ichigo's getting stronger and stronger much too quickly to be an ordinary human… Normally it'd take someone months to be used to that barrier's density in order to slice through it, and yet he's been slicing through them all in less than 3 days… This development, I admit, is very peculiar…
Ichigo sliced through yet another one with a little bit more, not-so-notable difficulty before stopping, the Getsuga charge now instantly disappearing. Ichigo's mask began to crack slightly as his pants echoed in such a scary manner. He fell forward as his mask dissipated, his eyes closed as he fell onto the ground, unconscious… He laid there, while the rest of the Vizards were looking at the fallen adolescent…
Shinji grinned, "He's doing an excellent job for such a newbie. I'll admit, Ichigo'll go very far with what he's been displaying. Just enough that he may even one day join our side."
"What makes you think that?" Hiyori looked at him with a glare that screamed HOW STUPID ARE YOU!?
"Well, first he turned to us for help. Next, he's been training with us day in and day out, getting stronger and stronger. Notably, he's becoming a little more used to us, as if we were his natural family. Slowly, he's joining our side subconsciously, whether he consciously likes it or not," Shinji explained, still grinning.
"… THAT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!" she began to beat him with a sandal.
Before anymore facial damage would occur, Rose stopped her, grabbing her to make sure she'd stop as Love walked over to them, "He's actually right, a little bit surprisingly. Ichigo is slowly beginning to side with us, the heroes of this hellish war. Since we are not sided with the Shinigami, nor the Arrancars, it's safe to say we're more like the heroes of now, so he's doing what any other hero would do… Join the Alliance with OTHER Heroes~!"
Rose sweat dropped, "You got that out from one of those Power Rangers books again, didn't you?"
Love shifted around a little, "Umm… no?"
Lisa sweat dropped, "Or he probably got it out of my books…"
"Your literature is a fine thing to read, but there's no heroes or villains in them."
"The hero is person that's going to screw the other person!" Lisa said.
"… Um, I'm going to pretend I didn't here that…," Love sweat dropped.
Kensei himself was slashing at random boulders, training his physical body rather than using his Zanpakutou for now.
Mashiro however was sleeping, snoring very rudely, and very loudly…

The white doll-like thing transformed into a ball of pure white light with a rainbow-colored halo radiating around the ball. Yorucihi immediately backed away from it, crossing her arms now, "This is the physical manifestation of your Zanpakutou…"
Next, the ball of light took on the shape of a male in his 30's. The male looked a dark tan, wearing sunglasses with side burns reaching towards what looked like a line of stubble on his chin, which also connected with his moustache, giving him… a very weird appearance honestly… His clothes were a yellow armor, that his black hair splashed on. "Seigi Nikkoo… you dare wish to train for Bankai? Do you think you're ready for Bankai?" the voice echoed frighteningly as the being then pulled out a large blade that was obscured under bright orange Spiritual Energy.
Seigi grinned, "Bring it on." He then disappeared and reappeared before his Zanpakutou Spirit, slashing at it with his Zanpakutou still sealed…
