Axel scoffed at the Bankai of Senroku, having it be just a bit too flashy for his tastes. After all, the Quincy were supposed to be about about flash and substance. Axel stared at the hollow army, getting annoyed that there were still plenty of them.
Using Hirenkyaku, Axel appeared in front of the Goddess in an instant, bow at the read. He was staring down each hollow, egging them on to charge. Pulling back on the bow he wondered if any of the hollows could foresee the future. If any of them could, the would soon see their numbers dwindling by half at this exact moment. Foolishly, they charged at Axel and Senroku each coming in fast. They all hungered for he two powerful souls, wanting to increase their own powers. They were all selfish, wanting to get a piece of either the Quincy or the Shinigami, probably both if they could.
"Gluttonous creatures."
Axel muttered, releasing the string on the bow. In that instant a hail of arrows covered the sky above. 300 of them getting ready to strike the hollows charging.
The arrows all pierced their own target, striking the heads and torsos of the running hollows. The various cries and screams of the corrupted souls. They all began evaporating, being killed by the Quincy with that one shot. One shot which killed off wave of hollows. The other hollows stayed back their numbers reduce from 700, to a near 379 now. Axel assumed they stopped attacking because of what he himself did.

A small piece of the sky seemed to fold back on itself slowly. It started to reveal a swirling vortex. It was a garganta, a technique known by most hollows. Instead of a hollow appearing though, a human form stepped from vortex, the sky unfolding, the vortex disappearing. Letum stood there, looking down at his 'army', as that bastard called it. He wondered how he got sidled with this grunt mission. Oh thats right, all the others are busy. Thought Letum with a bit of sarcarsm.
He watched the hollows, seeing them going to one point, he guessed they had found something to eat. As they continued to move in that direction, he floated slowly, not really caring what they found.
When he was directly over the point, he could feel two powerful sources of reiryoku. He would of sensed them earlier, but he had felt no need to try. Through the canopy, he could barely see the forms of what appeared to be a shinigami and quincy fighting off his supposed army. Letum couldn't help but be impressed by the ferocity at which the two fought. It would get them nowhere though, since there were so many hollows. This train of thinking was cut off when the shinigami summoned his bankai, which he got away from with a quick sonido. Maybe they can actually kill all these hollows. If they do, I'll have to deal with them though, then deal with Aizen about not completing the mission. Damn it. He sighed, deciding not to let them destroy his army, and him get chewed out.
He watched as half the army was destroyed by some arrow attack, which Letum reminded himself to stay away from. It was at this point he told the hollows to back off with a quick mental command. If he hadn't he was sure they would of charged into their deaths for hope of a meal. He decided he would see if he could end these two without a fight, though knowing his luck, Letum guessed he wouldn't. He raised his hand, a faint red ball forming there. It was soon a full sized red cero, glowing with power.
"Cero."
With this word, the ball exploded forward, heading straight for the shinigami and his quincy partner.

For moments as the cero shot down towards them, the shinigami remained unaware. However as he felt it's power getting closer, coupled with the sound of it ripping through a tree branch, Senroku noticed the cero. "Move~!!" He cried, utilizing the Shunpo to avoid the blast. He had no idea if Axel had heeded his warning, and waited for the smoke to clear. He was still in Bankai state, and as such the huge avatar still towered behind him. Senroku utilized another flash step-- this time positioning himself on top of the Sun Goddesses golden arc, his katana in his hand.
That had been a cero, something used by Arrancars. Judging from where it came from, the assailant would have to be in the sky. Senroku looked up, the huge goddess easily higher than the forest canopy, and as such could be seen for miles. There, in the sky, was an Arrancar. The sole enemies of the Shinigami, the ones who they waged war against. A thought then crossed his mind -- Aizen, the betrayer. Fuckin' coward.. If I ever get a hold of that..
He stared upwards now, directly at the Arrancar. "Get down here, scum~!!" Below, the hollow armies remained still- as if they had been commanded to do so. He wondered if Axel had avoided the cero..
.. he actually hoped he had.

Axel remained where he was floating, smirking at all his work. Looking up, he saw the garganta and a small dot arrive. It was too far to see but it was obviously either a hollow or something else, possibly a rogue shinigami like Aizen. Axel didn't know what, but he had a feeling that whatever that thing was, it was commanding these hollows. First he'd need to know exactly what he was dealing with, and he could tell by sensing the spiritual energy in the air. Feeling out the reiatsu of the person he couldn't judge how much he had. He did however sense both shinigami & hollow reiatsu, a dual type making it an arrancar. Taking one more swift shot with his bow, he managed to hit another one of the hollows, the rest doing nothing to retaliate for their fallen comrade.
Axel then sneered at the arrancar, he dealt with them before. he lead the attack against that particular Espada that killed his family, though he didn't remember the number nor did he care. What he did know however was that he had nothing to worry about, he was the strongest person here in his opinion. A sudden cracking of a tree alerted him to the cero that was fired off. Axel was taken by surprise, the cero had been fired so fast. He barely had time to deactivate his bow and move the reishi around him in swift movements.
The air blurred all around Axel, as the cero disappeared a mere foot from hitting Axel's body which would have been no doubt a powerful hit. Cancelling the Void technique, Axel removed two of his Seele Schneider from behind him, a sign of him taking things lightly. Looking up at the white dot, Axel frowned before dissapearing from plain sight. He reappeared 15 feet in front of the arrancar, arrogant smirk on his face.
"So what are you, more trash for the Quincy race to clean up?"
Technique Name Void Type of Effect Area Drawback Cannot use combat techniques during use. Useless against elemental attacks such as Ice, Fire, Water ect ect. Opponent can sort of see area of use. Description One of Axel's few defense techniques. By manipulating the reishi in a 20 foot area, Axel can dissipate any reiatsu based attacks such as kido, cero, other spirit arrows and other spiritual blast attacks. This is done because reishi movies unpredictably and Enhancement of physical attacks such as a shinigami charging their zanpakuto with reiatsu, will lose said reiatsu once they enter. The reiatsu will fling outward in all directions, enhancing the overall area's reishi count thus making the Quincy more powerful for later use. It also causes the arrancar's to lose their Hierro while in their. Ranged attacks become somewhat useless unless they are tossed with strength, for example a cero would instantly faze out as it entered. The rapid movement of the reishi allows the air to be seen, as everything is distorted and blurred while on the inside of the area. The area is a sphere of 20 feet in diameter. Axel cannot increase the diameter, although he can decrease it at a whim. By decreasing it to around 7 feet in diameter, everything is so blurred he becomes practically invisible. Thus Axel can sneak around with Hirenkyaku for stealth attacks or escape.
Technique Name Hirenkyaku Type of Effect Distance Drawback N/A Description It is basically the Quincy equivalent to the Shinigami's Shunpo, or the Arrancar's Sonnido. To perform the technique, the user gathers spiritual particles under their feet and rides them to the desired location. Like the air-walking skill displayed by most Arrancar and Shinigami, it can also be used to hover or fly for long distances.

Letum watched as the Shinigami dodged his cero. He knew this wasn't gonna be as easy as he hoped it would. The shinigami landed on part of his bankai with what he recalled was a shunpo. Great, now they knew where he was. As the shinigami yelled for him to 'Get down here', he said the only thing he could think he could think of.
"I'd much rather not."
Letum doubted the shinigami could of heard him, but he felt like he had to say something. It was at this point he noticed something. He didn't hear a boom signifying his cero had hit something. He looked down at the spot he had fired his cero, seeing nothing burnt or smoldering.
"Hmm, thats interesting." Letum looked back up right as the quincy appeared right in front of him. Does he want to fight me one on one? A sigh could be heard. He so didn't want to fight right now. The quincy pulled what seemed to be two sword handles with spirit energy as the blade. They also seemed to be vibrating quite rapidly.
Letum already didn't like this quincy. He seemed arrogant. One of the very few things Letum hated was arrogance. "Well, I don't consider myself trash, so that kind of makes you're point of cleaning me up void. If, however, you're talking about killing me, I welcome you to try." He said this in all seriousness. Well, as serious as Letum could get when he didn't feel much threat from an enemy.
He raised his free arm, collecting a bala and quickly releasing it, all in one motion. As the bala screamed towards his target, he fired another right after it. This was done without moving his body, and with as little effort on his part as he could.

Axel's eyes widened, an even faster cero was shot from the arrancar. He was unaware that it was actually a bala, however it didn't matter as Axel had already began moving Reishi around. Using Void once more, the bala disappeared into nothingness before it even got close. He had just demonstrated his Void to the arrancar, showing that ranged attacks wouldn't work at that particular moment. With that done, Axel showed that he was the true master of ranged attacks around here.
As he dropped the Void, Axel couldn't help but notice how nonchalant the arrancar was about everything. This angered Axel greatly, enough for him to lose his collected demeanor. He began spinning the Seele Schneider along his right finger, staring down the arrancar. As the Seele Schneider began spinning, he positioned the second Seele Schneider horizontally across his chest. This gave him a dual stance, ready to attack and defend from all positions. The fact that he was ambidextrous also increased his ability for fighting.
"Your scum and anyone who can sense spiritual pressure knows it. Your even worse than regular hollows and shinigami, you the worse parts of both shinigami and hollow. Your ugly to boot so die!"
Dashing forward, Axel stopped spinning the Seele Schneider in his right hand and slashed downward aiming for the right section of the arrancar's collarbone. He was doing so at an angle, the attack being a feint really. He was making sure that most of the arm was in the arrancar's point of view so he wouldn't see what else Axel was doing.
Axel had switched the position of the left Seele Schneider so that h e was holding it backwards with a straight arm. It was similar to how a ninja would hold a kunai or dagger. Bringing his arm across, he attempted to slash at the arrancar's lower torso, his elbow outward. This made it for a defensive technique as well as an offensive slash.
While this was occuring, he was using his Ransotengai Seele to manipulate the other 6 blades behind him. They suddenly floated into air and sprange to life, the vibrating blades spinning behind Axel in a circle.
Type of Effect Area Effect: Mid Range of 15 feet Drawback Axel cannot form his Quincy Bow while using this technique. Limited range as well. Description This allows Axel to control his Seele Schneider through reishi alone, allowing them to float around and move through the use of Axel's mind alone. It allows control over multiple Seele Schneiders and as such, he can easily fend off multiple weaker opponents or one very strong opponent using this technique. The blades move swiftly through the air, even faster than how Axel would normally swing them.

So thats where my cero went. This was the thought of Letum as he watched the quincy with this new, surprising, and if Letum was forced to admit it, annoying ability. Also, it now seemed the quincy was getting angry for some reason. Letum had no clue why, since he hadn't done anything, at least not yet. The quincy then got into some weird fighting stance with those sword things of his. Since when were quincy melee fighters? Had he been left out of the loop somewhere?
As the quincy came at him with his swords. As the boy, which Letum could now tell he was, swung at him, he used a sonido to dodge the attack, leaving an after-image and appearing about ten feet in front of his attacker. Letum sighed, which he noticed he had been doing a lot of lately. He wondered once again why Aizen had seen it necessary to give him such a stupid assignment. Maybe to get me out of that fortress of his? He look at the quincy now that his after-image was gone.
"Those are some hurtful words. Besides, I think the ladies would beg to differ on the ugly part."
He gave a perverted grin, thinking back to all the times the ladies had begged to differ. His smile remained one his face as he fired off another bala, before using a sonido to appear behind the boy, where he aimed a punch for his back with his free hand, while saying, "Besides, I think I tend to bring out the best of both worlds."

Axel smirked as he slashed what he presumed to be Lutem. However, feeling no resistance, Axel frowned, knowing full well that it wasn't the real arrancar. Groaning loudly, Axel looked ahead seeing his enemy a decent 10 feet in front of him. Now somewhat angered, Axel released the Seele Schneiders in his hands, allowing them to float in mid-air. They began to float forward, and both were fired forward as the bala was shot by Lutem.
The Seele Schneider's were parallel to each other, spinning rapidly. They were also corkscrewing around each other, making the two flying swords like a drill. This use of the Seele Schneiders, which were naturally projectiles, would surpass the bala once all the factors were accounted for. Luckily for Axel, Lutem was within the 15 foot radius of his technique. As the Seele Schneiders rocketed forward, Axel saw the arrancar disappear. It was an obvious signal of it the high speed movement known as Sonido.
As Axel heard Letum speak, he swiftly caused the remaining six Seele Schneider into action. 2 of the Seele Schneider moved outward, pointing at the arrancar. They began to move in a circle rapidly, providing a defense. If Letum would continue the attack towards his head he would have his hand cut by one of the Seele Schneiders.
The fifth Seele Schneider began to stab in a rapid motion at Lutem, starting with the upper torso. The final two Seele Schneiders were encircling Axel, ready to make a defense whenever necessary. The rrancar had guessed correctly, The Quincy weren't melee fighters. However Axel had made it so melee combat seemed just like ranged combat to a Quincy.

Letum stopped his attack, not that the sword would of been much danger had he continued, but because he didn't want to kill the boy, which he would of done, since the hit would of landed directly in his spine, severing it. Besides, he knew the quincy would come up with a defense. As the one sword came at him, he actually used his zanpakuto. He used it to deflect the sword, then used a sonido to once again get infront of the kid. This time he got about 20 feet away.
"That was a pretty good defense, or it would of been, had it actually hit me." He wasn't trying to incite the boys anger. He was actually giving a compliment. "You're not much of a talker, are you, unless it involves insults. "
By this point he had started to charge another cero. Letum brought his hand up, aiming the cero directly for him. Before he shot it, he dropped his zanpakuto, before it could even near the ground, a birdlike hollow flew up and grabbed it, before descending to the ground again. Letum then raised his other hand, ANOTHER cero forming. He shot the first cero, then used a quick sonido to get behind the quincy before the cero could even reach him. He was about 10 feet behind the quincy, when he fired the other cero.
"Cero."

"You damned piece of nothing!"
Axel said in a rage, moving the Seele Schneider's back into their eight holsters. he was being mocked by nothing else but a simple arrancar. He then raised his right arm, a blue light slowly enveloping the entire arm. His Quincy Cross began to float as his main weapon slowly formed. The Quincy were known for marksmanship and ranged combat, not the melee combat Axel has been using so far. The bow stood majestically on his arm, each, looking like one big cross.
Axel saw how the arrancar charged up cero. A smirk on his face, Axel quickly fired off ten arrows at once aimed at the arrancar. However the first cero was released, Axel moved the paths of the arrows towards it. He heard the fire of the other cero right at his back. So what he did was sort of like a trick shot, he curved the other 7 arrows to hit the cero and the arrancar directly at his back. Only one arrow was needed for the cero meaning the rest would be free to hit the arrancar.
A short Hirenkyaku later, Axel was above the arrancar, pulling back on his bow. He was directly above it and with the other 6 arrows to worry about.
"DIE!"
Axel shouted a huge wave of 300 arrows exploding from his bow, ready to strike the arrancar with everything it had. This was the move he had used against those hollows, and the move which could kill the previous Espada.

The quincy had actually dodged his attack. That was impressive. Very impressive. It seemed Letum might have to get a little serious and end this battle. He watched as the arrows destroyed his ceros, and how the others seemed to be coming for him. They were already too close for him to sonido away from. He looked up at the boy, seeing him gathering for some attack. His eyes actually widened when he saw the multitude of arrows coming for him. As they started to hit him, they seemed to make small explosions, covering his form in smoke. Once that last arrow hit, he was completely covered in smoke from the arrows.
The smoke started to clear when a slight breeze came by, slowly revealing his form. He was completely undamaged. The only things different was his hair seemed a little messier and his clothes a little ruffed up. He would admit he was surprised by the attack, but he knew the power of it couldn't do much to him. This quincy was too weak at this time, though Letum knew if the the kid had some time to grow, he could become a strong opponent.
"Whoo, that actually had me surprised. Nice tactic, but not nice enough, I do believe." He seemed to be a little more serious then he was at the beginning of the battle. "Don't you quincies have some limit to how many arrows you can shoot? You better be careful, you wouldn't want to run out mid-battle. Anyway, I think it's time I ended this battle."
With these words, Letum sonido'ed in front of Axel, leaving an afterimage, and aimed a kick for his head. While he did this, he charged a bala in his hand, which he threw once he finished his kick. He then used a sonido to get behind the quincy, throwing two more bala. He used a final sonido to get above him, where he threw one more bala from above. He did not aim to kill, just incapacitate. He still had a shinigami to fight, after all.

"W-what the hell are you?"
Axel questioned, the guy having survived a hail of 300 arrows charged with the reishi around him. He was too stunned to focus or even move properly. It was unreal, how can any simple arrancar survive that many arrows. Axel began grinding his teeth, charging all his own spiritual energy into this attack. This made it so that it would later be impossible to do any other techniques and he was putting everything in this one move. His arm glowed with the overflowing power of spiritual energy.
"Hirameki Kaku!"
Axel shouted using his strongest technique out of all his arsenal. 20 arrows came out of the bow, nearing Letum. He was once again deceived by sonido, the arrow splitting apart and exploding all around the afterimage. If Lutem was actually in there, Axel was sure that he would have possibly gotten injured.
It was at that moment the Espada rushed forward to try and kick him. Leaning backwards, Axel managed to avoid it for the most part, until he saw the marking the arrancar was hiding. Clear as day, a tattoo of the # 1 on back of his neck. He knew of the Espada and their abilities, and he was fighting the strongest of them all.
"Pri-pri-primera Espada."
Axel stuttered out as the arrancar's foot barely touched his forehead. It was nothing more than a graze, but it split is forehead wide open gushing blood and covering Axel's young face. If it had connected fully Axel's head would no longer be attached to his body. The balas then connected, first hitting him in the chest. The blast ripped apart his vest and shirt, as well as leaving a severe burn mark along his skin. before even reacting, The bala struck again, this time from above. That particular bala would prov the fight finisher, as he spiralled downward unconscious towards the ground.
[b]Technique Name[/b] Hirameki Kaku {Flash Divide} [b]Type of Effect[/b] Touch [b]Drawback[/b] Hirameki Kaku uses Axel's own spiritual energy instead o the spirit particles around him. This is quite taxing after awhile and as such he could not use it often. [b]Description[/b] Another Quincy technique Axel created himself, used against stronger enemies. This technique is unique in which it is two techniques and he can use it as either one of them or combine them for it's strongest. All of them require use of both hands and are slower than Axel's regular arrows. [b]Hirameki[/b]: Is the exploding arrow used to take out stronger hollows. Once it makes contact, the arrow explodes on contact damaging enemies. The explosion is comparable to an Adjuchas hollow's cero. Axel can only shoot two exploding arrow per fire. The exploding arrow possesses double the power of the standard arrow. [b]Kaku[/b]: The splitting portion of the technique. Shooting an arrow, it is a normal arrow until Axel wishes it to change. In which case the normal blue arrow will suddenly split up into a dozen smaller white arrows. Each of the white arrows will be relatively normal sized, being around 1 foot and 10 inches in feet. Each of the Kaku arrows are individually weaker than a standard arrow, possessing half the power. Axel can shoot out 50 Kaku arrows maximum, which when divided cause up to 600 arrows. [b]Hirameki Kaku[/b]: By combining the two, Axel is much more dangerous. His limit is 20 Hirameki Kaku arrows, which will divide creating 240 exploding arrows. This is what he claims to be his strongest technique currently, being able to kill a vast # of hollows. The arrows posses the 1.5 times the power of the standard arrow and due to the sheer # of them create much more damage. He can only use this technique twice in a single battle however due to the drain on his body.

"Holy shit."
As the Quincy began his fast decent to the ground Senroku would utilize a Shunpo, appearing right below him with his arms outstretched. He grabbed onto the Quincy and utilized another shunpo, this time landing on the forest floor. I gotta get him the fuck outta here.. Senroku thought, now running through the forest at full speed- a trail of leaves left in his wake. He had been foolish not to aide the Quincy, even if he had despised their kind. The enemy of your enemy was your friend afterall.
"I'm takin' you to Seireitei."
He would mutter, continuing at full pace. He needed to gain distance from the Arrancar-- whom he noted as an Espada due to his skill-- before they could leave. A select few hollows were on their trail, but were quickly burnt alive by a minituare sun created by the Sun Goddess, who dispersed straight after. His appearance changed back to usual, though his speed did not.
He, was too strong.. way too strong for me..
While the shinigami was cocky and proud, he was not entirely stupid. Fighting against an Arrancar like that was suicide, and this Quincy had paid for his mistakes. Finally he was nearing Tokyo, and hoped to have gained enough time and distance between himself and the enemy. He and Axel would then seemingly vanish, taking the short ride to Soul Society.
He had failed his mission. Hollows still roamed the forest and an Espada had surfaced. The shinigami and Quincy alike were in deep trouble..
Exit Axel/Senroku.

Letum watched as the quincy began to fall. He could of killed him right then, but decided against it. There would be time for that in the future, since he was sure he had not seen the last of them. He turned back to his hollow army, which had been still the whole battle, and apparently no more had died since he started fighting the quincy. Seems the shinigami hadn't decided to eradicate the hollows, which would of done nothing in response due to his orders.
"You three, follow them, see if you can kill them." He knew of course he couldn't, but now Aizen couldn't say he didn't try to stop them.
He called back the hollow with his zanpakuto, grabbing it from the creature and actually thanking it. The three hollows were killed by one of the shinigami's techniques, before he fled the area, probably back to Seireitei. Coward. But it was to be expected. He had been taught since he had become a hollow that all shinigami were cowards and not worth a dime. Letum didn't believe much of this, but that shinigami had proven it, somewhat.
Looking over his army, Letum noticed he only had about half left. A sigh could escaped his lips. He would be hearing about this. "All of you, go on to complete the mission. You all know what to do." The hollows seemed to nod, before all turning in one direction. They may not be that smart, but they could get a mission done. Especially one like this.
Waving one hand through the air, a garganta opened, revealing to him the swirling vortex that would lead him back to his home. Letum looked back, and for the first time, probably ever, he could be seen with an evil smile, before he stepped into the garganta and disappeared.
Exit Letum, Close Thread
