Ulquiorra evaded Soifon's sad attempt to stab him with her Suzumebachi, "You're slower than I thought… woman." Next, he thrust his fist at her torso, but the latter vanished with her quick speed and reappeared a few feet ahead of the Segunda Espada. "I may as well show you… that this scuffle with me is pointless… Captain," he said as he then charged a black light on his forefingers.

Soifon's eyes widened, Could that be Cero?! Immediately, she reflexively used her mastery of Shunpo to vanish once more and reappear behind Ulquiorra, using his seconds of charging to attempt the 'two-hit-kill' she was so famous for. Sadly, the latter screeched extremely loudly, and she froze for a second, now becoming irritated by how loud that screech was. She backed away somewhat as he ears began to bleed somewhat. She felt the warm, slimy feeling of that red liquid of life and gently touched it's origination point, her eyes now wide with surprise.

Ulquiorra turned to her, staring at her with his cold gaze, "Now, Shinigami, I know you can't hear me, but I may as well explain if you can read lips. Now, I have stripped you of your ability to hear anything. I use this mainly to…" He paused, and shook his head, watching Soifon back off as his black energy charge remained on his forefingers, "Forget about it…" He then fired the black charge as he called out, "Cero Oscuros!"

Soifon's eyes shot open in surprise as she was then engulfed by the large laser of darkness!

Ulquiorra watched as his attack faded, but then, he screeched loudly once more, sending out his tracking sound waves. Suddenly, from the slight left, his sound waves returned, so then he fired yet another Cero Oscuros at the building on his left, thus demolishing it! Getting up from the rubble was Soifon, whom appeared to be badly burned, and bleeding from her right side… "Looks like I failed to finish this battle swiftly…," Ulquiorra said, sounding superior to Soifon now.

Soifon struggled to get up as she then traced a golden triangle in the air with her Spirit Energy, "Bakudo Number 33; Shitotsu Sansen!" Suddenly, three beak-shaped lights formed at each corner of the triangle and burst forth, aiming for Ulquiorra!

Ulquiorra sighed "Cero," and reflexively shot a ray of light green energy at the beaks, utterly destroying them without hesitation. "Captain, you are losing that sheer concentration. What happened to that, is it lost? Has it been shattered by my superiority? Do not falter, keep looking ahead, and keep fighting, this battle is far from over," the Segunda Espada said as he then fired yet another black Cero at Soifon.

Soifon dodged the attack with her Shunpo and appeared behind Ulquiorra, ready to stab at him once more.

Ulquiorra screeched once more, causing Soifon to stop for a second as if hesitant to attack. He then turned around, and gave her a clean right cross to the stomach and switched immediately from a fist to his forefingers as his opponent flew back a few feet, "Cero!" He then fired yet another green ray of energy, shot and especially aimed at Soifon!

Soifon groaned, trying to stabilize by gathering the Spirit Particles under her feet to stop flying, but she couldn't, her vision beginning to become slightly blurry.

Outta nowhere, a large deity appeared behind Ulquiorra and grabbed him in a bear hug-like manner, "Captain! I got him!"

Soifon crashed onto the ground and stood up, struggling to stand as he legs buckled. She looked towards her opponent to see Omaeda grabbing the opponent, What the hell is Omaeda doing here!? That imbecile's going to ruin this test run! She then disappeared and reappeared in front of Ulquiorra and threw at kicked aimed for… Omaeda's face!

"You missed your chance to strike me, Captain," Ulquiorra spoke as a green light shone on his palm, stretching to take on the form of a javelin! "Farewell…," he said as he then swung it up, slashing Soifon all the way up from her thigh to her head with simple ease. Before Omaeda could react to this, Ulquiorra thrust his new weapon backwards, stabbing Omaeda through his stomach. "Farewell, Captain and Lieutenant…," he said as he then fired a point blank Cero Oscuros to finish him off.

"You're a fool!" a familiar voice rang out from a few feet ahead from Ulquiorra, so he shifted his gaze into that direction. Soifon now had her Bankai armed and aimed at Ulquiorra, "You're slower than I thought. Too bad, I have to end this before it becomes a large risk to me," she said. The only two details different about her now was that she was no longer wearing her Haori, and her large missile-shaped Bankai was pointed directly at the Segunda Espada. "Jakuho Raikoben!" she immediately called out, firing her large 'stinger' at Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra stopped the attack with his bare hand, but next…KA-BOOM! A large explosion occurred, engulfing the said Espada into its mighty power!

Soifon panted as Omaeda appeared next to her, his Lieutenant's arm-band gone. "Captain! You did it! And that's your Bankai?!" he said in surprise, staring at it's golden majesty.

Soifon didn't hear a word that he said, but was pretty sure he was spewing nonsense, so she elbowed him right in the guts.

Halibel swung her large blade at Gin once more, releasing a large blast of yellow energy, "Proyectil Azul!"

Gin ducked, thus dodging the attack.

Halibel then reflexively kicked up, launching Gin into the air as she then charged a yellow energy on her entire blade. "Cero!" she called out as she then slashed, firing an arced burst of yellow energy that chased down Gin dangerously! The attack came closer... and closer... but then the latter knocked it away with his Shinso.

"Halibel~ I know that Cero was not as potent as your usual ones~!" Gin commented with a small chuckle.

Matsumoto yelled, "Be careful Gin!"

Halibel looked coldly at Gin, in her eyes still considering him a deity that must be killed, as her master had commanded. . .
