A.N- Just so you know, this [below] is talking in a person's head.

'...Grinning, an act of intimidation'- Tite Kubo on Gin Ichimaru.

All Rangiku could feel was pain, and she lowered her blue eyes to the pain in her side.

She made a horrified sound, staring at the bloody hole the monster had left in her side.

The monster stared at the flesh between his fingers a moment, and then dropped it.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you," Apacci's voice was laced with sarcasm. "Ayon is dreadfully strong. So, be careful."

Rangiku's eyes dulled, and she slipped backwards.

"RANGIKU-SAN!" Momo screamed.

/

"Raah!" The curved sword connected with another.

Lilynette's face was livid, and Ukitake's disappointed expression only fuelled her anger.

She hammered her blade on his, and then let out a yell as she pulled back her foot and swung it at the white-haired man.

"Bakudou Number Eight: Seki" He sighed, and then pushed the green haired girl back.

She slid along the air, and then skidded to a halt and charged a Cero before her.

Ukitake watched it calmly and waved a hand through it.

"No way..." The girl gasped.

"I've seen hundreds of Ceros in my life, and I'll tell you," He spoke. "Yours is immature; inferior even to that of a Menos. So much so that I can smash it with my bare hands, like I did just now. I'm not going to mince words. Go home already. I can't stand to fight with you any more than I already have."

The small female's eyes narrowed into a harsh glare.

/

"Rangiku-san!" Momo stretched her short arm and managed to grab the older female's kimono. "Bakudou Number Thirty-Seven: Tsuriboshi!"

A glowing net burst under the two girls, and Momo let out a short-lived sigh of relief.

"Hang on, Rangiku-san! I'll heal you right away!" She assured.

The entire area from her rips down to her intestines was gouged away, and Rangiku was having trouble breathing.

Momo bent over her fellow fukutaicho and just as she had started healing, Ayon reappeared.

He lifted a fist, and startled, Momo drew her zanpakuto.

Ayon pushed his fist into Momo's stomach, and she went flying.

"Bakudou Number Thirty-Seven: Tsuriboshi!" Another voice yelled, this one male.

Momo turned her head, and found Ayon caught in a bunch of chains.

"You did well, Hinamori." Hisagi yanked one of the chains; he had come into view when the net had tilted. "Now, take five. We'll take care of this thing."

Kira pulled another person into view, and she sighed.

"This isn't necessary you know." She grumbled.

"We don't know how much power you have, so it is entirely necessary." Hisagi glared at her.

"You wouldn't have known that Rangiku and Hinamori were injured if I hadn't used Enshi!" The girl yelled.

"Bakudou Number Sixty-Three: Sajo Sabaku. " Kira thrust his hands at her. A set of chain-like spiritual threads materialized.

"Oh come on!" The girl complained.

"Gaki Rekko." Kira continued. A green circle of reitsu appeared, and several cage like extensions zapped down from it.

"Let me out!" The girl yelled, smashing a fist against it. She yelped.

"Huh?" Apacci blinked. "Who the hell are they?"

"They're comrades. I watched them come over from the pillars."

"If you were watching them, then why didn't you stop them dumbass?"

"Tch." Apacci spat. "They just keep coming to help, one after the other. You guys sure do like to get involved in other people's fights, don't you? AYON! Don't give them time to interfere! Kill them all at once!"

"Ayon!"

"He's ignoring me. Fucking bastard." A vein twitched in her face.

"Give it up, moron. There's no way Ayon can hear what we're saying." Mila Rose sighed.

"He's gotta have eardrums somewhere! Right!" She turned and yelled frantically at Sun-Sung.

"I don't know. I've never seen him react to anything I've said." She shrugged.

"Tch. He didn't do anything, after all." Apacci glared. "What a creepy bastard."

"Kira." The blond looked to his friend. "I'll take on this guy. You take care of Hinamori, and Rangiku-san."

"Oh, and watch Sanura." He added as an after thought. Kira raised an eyebrow.

"Is that okay? Leaving you to take care of him?" The blond asked.

"Who said anything about leaving me to take care of him!" Hisagi freaked. "Hide them with Kido after you administered emergency treatment and then come and back me up!"

"Especially Rangiku. She's going to be in trouble if you don't hurry. I'm counting on you former Division 4."

"Do you know how long ago that was?" Kira laughed slightly.

"Let's go." The younger of the two growled.

"Yes, let's."

Hisagi yanked the chain around the Chimera.

Sanura paced in a circle frantically, like a caged animal.

'Every kido and every Cero has a weak point. Concentrate and find it.' The voice of her former teacher resounded through her head. She didn't remember him ever saying this to her.

Sanura glanced to her left arm on impulse. In one straight even row, it glowed pink through her still white sleeves.

'Find the weak point, Cero-sama.' Szayel was polite, and Sanura figured it was because this was the only way he would be alive.

Sanura sighed, then lowered herself to a seated meditative position and let her mind go blank.

Kira used Shunpo to get to Rangiku.

"Ah? What the hell! Why are you just standing around, Ayon? He took the Cow-Girl!" Apacci screamed.

Kira returned to Momo's net with Rangiku.

"Bakudou Number Seventy-Three: Touzanshou." A blue glass-like inverted triangle appeared around Kira, Rangiku, and Momo.

"Hang in there a bit, Hinamori-san. I'll heal you soon." Kira turned his gaze at her.

"Okay...I'll be fine. Quickly, heal Rangiku-san." She assured.

'Alright, concentrate. You can do this Sanura.' A dim purple glow filled the green cage. It emanated softly, and seemed to caress the sides. 'It's not there, keep going. Not at the bottom, work your way up slowly. Wait, there!'

The girl leapt to her feet.

"Now, how do I open it?" She murmured to herself.

'You can use a Cero, or you can use your own Kido. A small Cero might work. We were working on those remember?'

'I think I'll stick to Kido. Less possible risk for me.'

'You've forgotten something.' Szayel sounded amused.

'Oh, right! The chains.' Sanura closed her eyes, and released a strong wave of reitsu, making the Bakudou burst out of existence.

"Sho." Sanura pointed her finger at the small weak point, and the Hadou made the cage explode.

Her dual coloured eyes went to the Shinigami in the monster's hand. It had opened it's mouth overly wide.

Another Shinigami appeared behind the thing.

She immediately sensed the charging Cero.

"No." She growled, launching herself into a Sonido just in time to see the yellow eye open.

Sanura thrust her hands out, and as the Cero shot she grabbed Iba and pushed him behind her.

She took the force of the Cero, and felt nothing more than a slight tingling sensation, and then it dissipated.

"Iba-san!" Hisagi yelled, before Ayon crushed him into the side of a building.

Sanura carried him to the barrier, and passed through it to placed the unconscious fukutaicho on the net beside Hinamori.

She turned quickly, and used Sonido to catch Hisagi, who had been thrown to the side. She nearly collapsed under his dead weight.

"Crap." She snarled as Ayon turned to the barrier. Her Sonido and her Shunpo wouldn't be enough to stop him.

A hole appeared in the middle of the beast's chest.

"My, my. Making a Sui-Taicho come out, what a pitiful bunch of Division members." The old man grumbled.

Sanura moved Hisagi to the barrier.

"My deepest apologies, sir!" Izuru bowed.

"If you have time to bow your head to me, then shouldn't you be focused on the enemy?" The old man asked.

The beast let out a large moan and pressed a hand to his wound.

"That can't be, he's still alive...in that condition?" Kira gaped.

"Hmph...I guess that the punishment I gave him was not enough."

Ayon's right arm double in size before their eyes, and he reached toward Yamamoto.

"What's this?" The Sui-Taicho asked, holding the beast's arm. "Your attack didn't even reach me? You are a beast that can only think of killing people. How pathetic."

"Ryuujinjakka, the First, Nadegiri." Yamamoto swept his blade through the huge monster and sliced it in two.

"Really now, would you stop already?" He sighed. "Cutting a pathetic beast such as yourself over and over weighs heavily on my heart."

"Well not on mine." Someone snarled. Yamamoto looked up and found a Shinigami with turquoise hair standing above Ayon.

She placed her hands together, and a ball of violent purple reitsu grew in her palms. She then split her palms, and thrust her hands down at Ayon.

"That's how it's done." She snarled. "Your pathetic Cero did nothing."

"Kira, strengthen your barrier. This is not over." The old man turned his head to the Third Division Lieutenant.

Three livid female Arrancar descended from their perch in the sky.

"You challenge me with one arm." Yamamoto didn't turn to look at Apacci, Mila Rose and Sun-Sung. "That's quite the spirit you have."

A roaring fire erupted behind him.

"Out of respect for your spirit, I shall let you off with only those burns."

"Damn...it..." The females growled, dropping like burning embers to the ground.

/

"Apacci, Mila Rose, Sun-Sung." Harribel murmured, unzipping her jacket. "You fought well."

"All that power, and you're still only ranked Three?" Toshiro asked form where she had thrown him.

"'All that power'?" Harribel raised an eyebrow. "I don't recall having shown you the full extent of my power!"

The two watched each other for several moments.

"Bankai!" Toshiro screamed. "Daiguren Hyorinmaru!"

He barely had time to form the dragon parts of ice before Harribel struck.

Starrk glanced over.

"You guys are pretty strong." He commented.

"Thanks."

"I just wanted to run around aimlessly and wait for the battle to be over...But I guess I can't do that anymore."

"I'm glad." Shunsui smiled. "The way I see it, out of the three-"

"Four. Sanura too." Starrk cut in. He was the only one, besides Nel and Orihime, who knew that Sanura was the Cero Espada.

"Out of the four of you, that girl is third." He smiled slightly. "Hm, let's see. Personally, I'd say that Gramps over there is Number One, and I'd be happy if you were Number Two."

Starrk placed a hand over his right eye and then closed his eyes.

"Is that so?" He sighed, and then pulled off his glove. "Sorry, I'm Primera."

"I figured as much. That's too bad. If someone like you is first...Then this is gonna be tough. Thanks."
