The crater was so deep, that she couldn't be seen past the edge. Yammy's eyes were wide, Ulquiorra didn't appear fazed and Barragon seemed uneasy. "BANKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!" Out of nowhere, a pillar of lava burst up from the ground, gradually expanding in width and engulfed the land faster by the second. Yammy and Ulquiorra vanished to avoid the lava and appeared next to a shocked Barrgon. "Lava?!" The elder questioned in surprise. The thick, wide pillar of lava reached the sky, then slowly ceased. Its remains began to fall, raining upon the white surface.
The expansion of the lava pillar made the crater bigger, now showing Kai in the middle with a pool of it around her feet. The lava had burned off her shoes, leaving her feet bare. Barragon's and Yammy's lids grew wider at her bankai...they were molten gauntlets. They looked as if they were melted on the top layer of her skin, though some parts of her forearm and hand could be seen. Only plates of it covered the back of her forearms, back of her hands, the back of her fingers and finally half of her fingers were covered up with dragon claws. They covered up her fingernails and the distal phalanx of all her fingers.
Ulquiorra moved his slits behind her, noticing something big and flaming. Whatever it was, it had a hollow's mask. "It appears she had gained power, equal to Yammy's...and that 'thing'...why does it posses a hollow's mask...?" He questioned in the end mentally, gazing at the flaming thing behind her back. "Yammy...don't let your guard down..." Twas all he said to his tall companion, making the said Espada quirk a brow at him and face the monotonous man.
"The hell do you mean, Ulquiorra?! Ya saying she's got something up her sleeve? Cause all I see is her bankai, that's nothing real special there!" He angrily yelled, causing the fourth Espada to shut his lids.
"Open your eyes...Yammy... She's gained more power, equal to yours without your released form..." Ulquiorra replied, finally opening his orbs to the tall man. The said tenth Espada grew a stern expression, then changed to a grinning one. He looked over at Kai, now questioning why she wasn't moving.
"Kaiorin... Kai wake up! Try to take control, so you won't go insane!" Ryu's voice echoed through her head, though...she was right behind her. The big flaming thing behind the goth, was Ryu. Her wings were scrunched up against her, siting down with her nose to the ground. The horns on her mask pointed to the sky and her fiery solid gaze opened, to view her. "Kai!" She yelled out mentally, trying to grab the punk's attention one last time... It was too late... Her right arm was up in the air, as if pumping her fist. Her wrist was turned inwards, both hands clenched tightly. Her right arm being bent inwards as well, her other arm appeared bent up to her waistline and both gauntlets emitted a sizzling sound. The red wrappings on her forearms looked half way burned off, only leaving a couple of strips close around her elbow and a long strand of it on both arms; The strands were the same length as her forearms, dangling down.
The spikes in her hair looked molten red, glowing a crimson color. Luckily, her torso wrappings didn't get scorched... She had a large grin on her features, shadow veiled over her eyes and didn't allow them to be seen.
(Play the song ''Avenged sevenfold-nightmare (official instrumental)' it's her crazy theme for her first bankai attempt! : D )
The scene slowly rolled up her body, lava gradually dripping off her frame. It changed to show her gauntlets, then her lava filled- glowing veins, her insane grin and then her molten spiked ponytail. Her reiatsu sparked up higher, slowly zooming into her face. She turned her head just enough to see the tall man, (this is where the guitar picks up) her slits smaller and lids wider than usual...she's lost control. Her dragon slowly rose to her feet, at the same time lifting her hollow masked head. The scene gradually zoomed out, as the dragon stood. She flapped her wings, gaining inches away from the ground. Higher and higher she went, then...sonidoed out of view. Kai hadn't moved, though the fist in the air, unfolded out of its clenched state and reached toward the sky. Her gaze not breaking from Yammy, the goth waited. Ryu appeared in the distance, gliding toward the punk. Once she was just above Kai's head, she used her feet to grab a hold of her hand. Both now gone, with a flash of Ryu's sonido.
Up in the air, Kai held onto Ryu's feet, then kicked her legs up and tossed herself up on top of her dragon's head. She stood in the middle of the horns, gripped them and held on to them like handle bars. "HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!" She laughed as she flew higher into the air, turning and flew straight after Yammy. She gripped on to the horns tighter, intentionally making Ryu spin vertically, at a rapid pace. Yammy brought his hands up and caught the nose of the dragon, stopping its spin in the process. That didn't stop Kai though, her and her dragon kept forcefully pushing the Espada back with ease.
He looked up at her, lids widened once he seen the insanity in her smaller slits. She opened her mouth, laughing and charging a lava cero. He almost got hit, if he hadn't sonidoed out of the way. She shot it out with a strong scream, making a long beam of lava shoot out and have multiple rings around it. It cut through the walls and made a large hole in Aizen's castle, revealing several other Espada.
She made Ryu skid sideways above the ground, her ponytail flailing as she did so. She and the dragon sonidoed, appearing high above the ground. The dragon flew upside down, allowing Kai to fall off and slowly twist to face yammy. She drew a fist back, preparing her skill. Though what Yammy wasn't expecting, was for her to shift stances. She put both arms above her head, as if to pound the top of someone's head in. "TSUCHI NO KUJIKU!" She shouted as she fell. Just before she hit him, he vanished and appeared afar from her. She crashed into the ground, creating a large crater. The crater wasn't your ordinary thing...it began to tear up into chunks as she stood there crouched from her landing. The ground lit up with the glow of lava, then had lava shoot into the sky, engulfing her entire body.
Once the lava ceased, her body was covered in it, slowly streaming off of her . The scene shown her insane grin, leaving her eyes out of view. Tilted head, flaming reiatsu and veins in view. All of a sudden the lava rained down upon the land, in a much wider range. It hit Yammy and began to burn his clothing off a bit. He watched in shock, staring at the scorched clothing.
In the distance a hollow's screech echoed through the air, it got louder in pitch and more feminine. Her dragon flew at her from behind, now scooping Kai up from underneath her legs and on to her head once more. "Earthen Crush..?" Yammy questioned mentally, as he sonidoed out of the way.
He appeared not to far ahead of Ulquiorra, watching as her and her dragon both turned around almost immediately. She chased after him again, this time disappearing off of Ryu and reappearing in Yammy's face. Her insanity filled expression, meeting stunned ones.
Ulquiorra and Barragon both watched from the sidelines, now being accompanied by Nnoitra, Haribel, starrk, Szayel and Morgus. The dragon circled around her and Yammy, as she fought him. She was spinning in the air, kicking at his face over and over. With the last kick, he got sent flying a long distance away, across the surface.
She landed, began dancing and bobbing her head to unheard music. Her lids closed and fists clenched. She started break dancing, laughing and dodging rapid red shots from Yammy. Her hair whipping all over the place, gaining speed until she sonidoed out of the blue. She reappeared behind Yammy and wrapped her legs around his neck. She performed a back flip, causing the Espada to get picked up and thrown over her frame. She was upside down doing a hand stand, with her legs outward towards the tenth Espada. She kicked her legs, did a top spit and continued to break dance. She stopped after a minute of dancing, rose her fists to her waistline and lifted her face to the sky. She laughed, lids shut and wide open mouth. Starrk shown up behind her, Kai being unaware of his whereabouts. He chopped at her neck, making her stop in her laughter and stand there. Her spiritual pressure vanished and she passed out, falling flat on her stomach (song ends here ~ ). Ryu who flapped her wings high in the sky, disappeared and her bankai reverted back to its dagger form.
Yammy came walking in the distance, making his way back over to Ulquiorra. "Yammy... I told you not to let your guard down, her bankai was the same strength as your current power..." The fourth Espada mentioned, with a shut of his peers.
"Hey I wasn't expecting to get double teamed, by her and her 'dragon' thing! That 'dragon'...why did it have a hollow mask anyway...?" Yammy asked, as he looked over at the unconscious goth, with a questionable look.
"That, Yammy...was a hollow dragon. Completely different compared to what we've heard of Daomig'rah... Though since she is half hollow...or more preferred as ,'Arrancar'...as Lord Aizen claimed, she most likely will posses some sort of Zanpakuto similarity to one. " Szayel Aporro answered in Ulquiorra's place, having the said Espada peer over at the pinkette.
"I've never seen a hollow dragon before, that beast looked beautiful!~" Morgus cooed over Ryu, whilst closing his orbs and smiling to himself. Nnoitra kept watching the passed out goth, frowning at her. He remembered the scene of her laughing, seeing those insanity filled slits. He moved his irises over to the lava pool, squinting his lids at the sight. "Tsuchi no Kujiku... That means Earthen Crush doesn't it?" He asked, not peering over to one of the others.
"Yes..." Barragon replied, not moving his gaze from the punk. Starrk stood just above her, his ogles locked on to her frame. He knelt down, picked her up and carried her over to the group of Espada. He stopped just before stepping inside the makeshift entrance, seeing Aizen stand there.
"What happened here, Coyote...?" He asked, taking notice of the woman in his arms. He held her bridal style, with her ponytail touching the surface. The spikes in her hair no longer molten, twas back to their usual color.
"I don't know... She must have gained her bankai, that's my guess anyway..." He mumbled a replied, sighing in the process. Aizen's brown irises moved up to meet Starrk's.
"Yes, she did just get her bankai...but, when she did use it...she became crazy. She was on even ground with Yammy." Barragon walked up beside Starrk and looked at Aizen, thoughts could clearly be seen in his brown orbs.
"I see... Alright then, be sure she doesn't use her bankai, unless she's outside of the building. It seems she has created a hole in the wall, I'll have to get it patched up. In the meantime, take her back to her cell and meet me in the conference room. We must discuss some matters regarding that ryoka girl..." Aizen replied, turning and leaving the area. Starrk walked onward, passing Barragon up.
"That was certainly unexpected...~ I have never thought Coumtesu would be type, to gain her Bankai in such little time! Truly fascinating, my first view of a hollow dragon too!" Szayel mused, getting glares from Haribel and Nnoitra. He had his hand up on his face, closed his lids and put Ryu's image in his head. "And I agree Setsuen, that dragon was indeed beautiful with all that orange fire!~ It sort of reminded me of the solar flares, from the sun!" He mentioned with excite, now looking over at the goth's brother.
Morgus walked up by the pinkette's side, facing the big hole Kai made. "I couldn't help but to agree more, Szayel Aporro!~" He mused with a sigh in the end and walked forward, leaving the area while saying- "She will always be the light in my darkness... I wouldn't be surprised if she became the fire in Hueco Mundo, too.~" He muttered within ear shot of Szayel, having the said scientist look over his shoulder at the hybrid and smirk.

Slowly, Kai's lids opened in first person view. Seeing parts of her couch in her line of vision and a cart of food with a bowl of... "BONES!" Back to the thirst person view; She instantly shot up, at the sight. Drooling in the corner of her mouth, she ran to the bowl and took a wishbone out. She snapped it in half at its joint and stuck one in her mouth. A satisfying crunch came from her chomp, lava orbs appearing content and a grin on her mouth.
"Hoooo-maaaan, do I miss these... And I just had some not that long ago, haha!" She laughed, popping in the other piece. She looked in the corners of her eyes, seeing her guitar, her notes and other studies. "Better get to practice, if I wanna get good!~" She mused, before grabbing the bowl of bone shards. She rushed over to her instrument, sat down next to it and began reading the manual. Looking at the notes next, she studied each individual one. "I get it now... Shouldn't be too hard right, I mean c'mon!" She lifted her guitar and strung the said music notes, listed on the paper.
Hearing the door open, she perked her head up and watched as it revealed an Espada. "The hell do you need, Mr. short, dark and gloomy...?" She asked with a risen brow, noticing how he barely narrowed his gaze at the 'short' part.
"I have come to see, if you have ate your nutrients...Princess." He said, his stern gaze, watching her on the floor. With the last word at the end of his sentence, Kai's lids widened.
"He called me Princess...? Well, at least it's better than 'traaash'~~" She mentally expressed the word 'trash' in a deeper and dramatic tone. "Now we're getting somewhere... Now since you called me something, that's not an insulting name... I won't call you shorty, deal?" She asked with a smirk, though still hating the fact that she's being called a Princess... Aside from her actually being one, she hated the nickname. "DO I LOOK LIKE A DAMN PRINCESS , YOU ASSHOLE?!" She shouted in her head, anger boiling and making her veins show.
The fourth Espada noticed them and comprehended that she wasn't getting excited, she was getting angry. He nodded in to her question, approving of the 'deal'. "I see you haven't touched your food..." He turned and was about to leave, until he heard her stand and walk up to him.
"Oi... Are you able to understand any of this? It looks easy enough to do but, I'm askin' ya if there's anything I hadn't took into consideration, yet... I know for a fact that each note has different volumes and you have to tune certain strings to get the tone you want... But is there anything else I'm missing? Seeing at your so 'greaaat' at observation, I figured I'd ask you..." She held up a book and some notes, having an unamused expression on her face. "This is so stupid, I can't believe I have to rely on someone! GAAAAH THIS PISSES ME OFF BUT, I WANNA BE GOOD AT PLAYIN' THIS THING!" She mentally yelled, not liking the idea of resorting to someone's help.
Ulquiorra gradually turned to face her, looking into her fiery gaze. He rolled his green slits down to both of the items, scanning over them. The manual had a note chart in it, how to tune the strings and to take care of it. The notes in her other hand, had music notes on them in alphabetical order. He looked up at her orbs again and finally answered. "You didn't take notice of the alphabetical music notes and the note chart..." He simply answered, making her raise a brow and turn the items to face her.
"Huh... Thanks...I guess..." She mumbled, still staring at the objects. She turned and sat back down near her guitar, reading the manual and notes again. She looked back at her guitar and started stringing it, hitting the tune she wanted. She smirked, then strung a different one; Again and again, she strung the notes she wanted.
He watched her for a moment, before turning to make his leave. The door shut and shown Kai stringing more than one string, getting faster and faster. This time, she strung many strings at once, making a thick sound like you would hear from a rock song. She gained speed as she went, repeating the tune over and over in a rhythm. She started bobbing her head at the rhythm, gritting her teeth into view and having shut lids.
An idea popped up in her head, making her pause in her little antic. She looked over next to her couch, seeing a small disc casing inside the box Nnoitra dropped into her room out of rage, before. She paced over to it, picked it up and scanned it with her peers. She took it out, by opening the top and stuck it in her radio. Hard rock music played, nothing but an instrumental piece. Though parts of it sounded like it was missing an instrument in it. "Hm... This is probably a practice disc, something for the player to follow along with..." she guessed, then walked back over and picked her guitar up. She paced back towards the radio and sat down cross-legged, facing it.
She clicked a button, making it replay the song, so she could add to it. Moving a music sheet over in front of her, she followed along the song with the notes. She loved it, she got faster and faster at the stringing, once she got used to it.
