A Prelude to Armageddon (Open, No Death)

A short girl in a white dress began to move from the store the moment she felt the presence of a great evil. It would not do to get innocents caught up in something beyond their ken. She lowered her spiritual pressure to almost nothing when she felt the presence, making sure to go unnoticed. To those observing her before, their sights would be greeted by a short woman wearing an odd white gown. Perhaps most intriguing about her was the way she walked barefoot, yet no trace of dirt could be glimpsed on her soles. This was because the woman was actually walking on a thin platform of Reishi, rather than the ground itself. Riding it a short ways out of the store, she let a small portion of her energy leak out, forming a trail for the evil spirit to follow. For every attempt to catch up with her that might have been made, the girl in the white gown would turn a corner just as swiftly.

Soon enough, she reached a vacant lot being cleared out for new construction, and not but a short walk away was the growing steel frame of a building. It was around here that Katrina and Eva were scouting for leads.

"My lady!" "Mistress!" They shouted in unison upon sighting the Obelisk to which they devoted their services. But before they could run up to her, Izanami held out her hand. "Stay, Voices. A wretched presence is near." They were no amateurs, but the foe just around the corner was no small threat. It was strong, something only Izanami would be able to handle of the three of them. Taking the appropriate action, the two Quincy nodded, finding a nice little corner of the lot. "Kirchenlied!" Katrina shouted, followed immediately by Eva. "Sankt Zwinger!" All around the two girls, a fount of energy sprung to life. Separate, their powers were not much to speak of, but together, they could perform great tasks to assist their master. This one was meant simply to keep them out of harms way and observe the battle. Should any foe attempt to breach its bounds, it would not end well for the attacker.

Turning back towards the direction in which she had come, Izanami announced to the presence she had felt. "Show yourself sinner, I remember well the foul presence of your kind!" Her spiritual power fully expanded, showing just how serious she was. Surrounding her was a white glow, and the few clouds in the sky began to disperse completely. Everything got a little brighter. Though she did not yet realize who it was she was challenging, she would show the same manner towards any Hollow, Arrancar, or Togabito.

To say the Holy Virtue of Chastity was feeling cross at the moment would be a severe understatement. The vile wretch had just demolished the store and killed at least half of its inhabitants. She could feel her eyebrow twitching. Staring down at the rubble of the store from her new standpoint in midair, Izanami could see the form of a Togabito below her. She absolutely reeked of hellfire and brimstone. Was this one of the Sins her organization was seeking? If that was the case, she could not afford to hold back.

"Katrina, Eva, return to the Vatican and tell them I have found what appears to be one of the Deadly Sins. Before you go, activate Sankt Zwinger's flare." They knew it would be unwise to question their mistress, and the foe before them would likely be strong enough to breach their barrier. They both nodded before changing the orientation of their hands. The towering Quincy pillars glowed brightly before sending off a bright column of light into the sky, alerting any operatives that might have been nearby to her location. As soon as that was done, they activated another spell. "Kirchenlied!" "Heiligen Edikt!" With that, the barrier under them shifted before suddenly seeming to vanish into thin air.

Now that her subordinates were out of harms way, Izanami prepared to unleash her power. First and foremost, she would try to get the drop on her target. Quickly forming her twin blades before her, she connected their hilts and fired a volley of Heilig Pfiel, or as renamed by her, Arrows of Chastity, directly at Kira's heart. She then released the swords into Reishi, and moved her hand to remove a cloth wristband beneath around her right wrist. "Seeing as one such as you only knows how to act with brute force, I will respond in kind." Snapping the clasp that bound her Sanrei Glove, Izanami unleashed her full power.

"Quincy: Vollstandig."

Spiritual Pressure surged around her, forcibly drawing in all spirit particles within range. Unlike the worlds of the dead, where buildings would have been consumed, most of the living world was not composed of Reishi. She substituted a lot of it with her own vast power. Above her head formed a halo, around her wrist, a large bangle. Her bare feet were covered by winged sandals, and at her back was a gigantic structure of Reishi identical to her Quincy Cross. "Gabriel."

Izanami crossed her arms together in front of her chest, and within her grasp, formed two sickle-like weapons. Next, they separated at a hinge to make three blades with a clang. Finally, they glowed a bright white. Using Hirenkyaku, Izanami shot towards and behind Kira, lashing out at her back with several high speed slashes of her twin blades.

"Spirit Ninja Detective Spirit Support Beam! Erupt, Hell Furnace!"

Crowds scream as a body rocketed out into the street. A director shouts for the crew to rescue his equipment. A star stays in full black body stocking Ninja character even as he disappears in a flash within the still collapsing store. One, two, three little innocents. Three, four, nine, ten little innocents. Eleven, Twelve, Twelve litte innocents all buried under rocks with ninja's.

The two outside stood ready for their face off, rubble still settling over the supposed victims.

JUST THEN~

"Spirit Ninja Detective Technique #73! My Body as a Support Beam." Rubble erupted up and out of the wreckage as our lone ninja hero threw it aside, amazement plastered on employee and customer faces all around. "Spirit Ninja Detective Rescue Mission Success! Mantra!" The odd full body stockinged figure shot a hand out fully splayed with his opposing hand held likewise out behind him. He began an odd Kabuki dance as the would be victims fled with the crowds. "The sirits call on one man to rescue them from sadness, that man is The Great Ninja Spirit Detective. Brought to you by Joshi Brand Cereals! If it ain't Joshi it ain't taste."

Thanks to her quick reflexes, and the distraction afforded by whatever miracle of luck was happening in the scenes behind her, Izanami was able to focus more on the fight at hand. She would have to trust the man that saved the civillians to take care of clearing out the area as well. As once used to close combat, and very aware that she was, in all likelihood, fighting one of the great Sins, Izanami knew she had to be at her best. That was why she had already resorted to Vollstandig, and why she was just fast enough to guard the brunt of the powerful kick at her person. Twin spirit weapons, Empty Skies, coming together before her, the fierce attack landed square in the crossing of blades, the force strong enough to push Izanami back quite a few meters, but unable to fully pierce her defenses and cause injury.

From that one blow, she could tell a close combat battle would eventually end in her loss. This evil spirit was significantly stronger than her, and just as fast, if not slightly faster in close quarters. Using Hirenkyaku, Izanami retreated back to her position in the sky, connecting her twin blades once again to form a short bow. Taking aim swiftly, she released another trio of normal strength Heilig Pfiel, the reishi arrows aiming to strike at Kira's kidneys and head. As she had deflected them before, the new ones would not pose a significant threat, and could easily be powered through.

From her pocket, a small object of questionable import fell to the ground beneath her, losing itself in the rubble. Izanami prepared herself in the sky to retaliate to the Sin's onslaught, deciding to try and bait her while she was at it. "I had traveled her to get a head start on my orders...to think I would run into one of the Deadly Sins so soon. Tell me, are all of you so barbaric? It is a trait truly befitting of a monster who will never know love or happiness." If either the taunt or the false opening she gave with her arrows succeeded in luring the Sin to her position, Izanami would flash to the ground and shoot a very strong, charged arrow upward at her.

Fensake tilted his head slightly to one side, as if questioning the situation at hand while merely maintaining the whimsical nature of his character. This fight would clearly be one to cause a large amount of wreckage and yet this quincy seemed entirely content to keep leveling buildings in the name of catching the deadly sin before them.

What is a deadly sin? A new group centered on exploding reality as we know it? Another bount experiment maybe? He thought idly while formulating his plan of containment. The quincy might not mind a few ruined buildings but Fensake was the mighty hero right now so he had to at least try and keep this quiet. Maybe force them to move to the outskirts of town or find a shinigami to activate the dimensional barriers. He turned back to the enemy at hand for the moment though. First things first, he had to get this sin or whatever held down to move it elsewhere, whether the quincy wanted him to or not.

"Ninja Magic! Binding Art #37 Hanging Star!" He directed this first spell to be a backdrop to the Sin girl, the three point formation sticking to buildings on either side and the street. "Binding Art# 31 Casted Net!" He followed it up with a ninja-like flourish as he spun forward to fling the net out wide, it would seemingly fall entirely short of the target as it flapped in the air towards them and this fact would be fairly obvious if the sin were to look. Two misses, one should likely begin to lose confidence in the insanely dressed wierdo or be worried. The smart would be doing the latter, for as the net fell across Fensake's view of the sin his fingers did draw a triangle with the extended point to the top. "Ninja Binding Art #30 Beak-Thrust Tri-flash!" Suddenly the three beams shot out, taking hold of the net that a moment before would have fallen entirely short of capturing the Sin. Now however Fensake's true intent would take form. The net, propelled by the beams, would scoop the Sin up and force her into the embrace of the hanging star spell. From here the net would become wrapped about her AND the Hanging Star's main pocket and it would all be sealed neatly when the Triple Beaks were flung once around the Star's body and stabbed themselves into the Sins chest.(harmlessly, binding kidou don't hurt just hold afterall....Also it does all of that TO your sin only if you let it hit, otherwise it just ties itself up into a not without her.)

Her taunt appeared to have succeeded, but it would seem that it helped more than she had planned. The man below who had been assisting the normal folk took the opportunity to volley a number of restraints at Kira, all of which apparently landed. This was a good chance. Gathering in a large degree of the precious little ambient Reishi in the air around them, Izanami augmented it with her own immense spiritual power. The giant Quincy cross structure floating behind her seemed to shift in form, the ring part separating and splitting before quickly reforming as an extension to her blades, each of the six extensions exponentially increasing their length. At the same time, she began to glow a bright white.

"Virtuous Saint's Heavenly Crusade!" Like a rocket, Izanami shot towards Kira before unleashing a torrent of weapon swings, all of the greatly elongated blades whizzing around in huge arcs and streaks of light. Both her movement and her swing speed were pushed to the maximum, her attacks fully augmented by Blut Arterie. The strikes would be relentless and rather tough to evade, considering their reach and speed. If Kira had managed to escape the kidou by then and begin to flee, Izanami would pursue her closely. Finally, after the number of attacks grew beyond countable, she flashed above her opponent, wherever she was at the moment, and unleashed a three-slash combo that would deal heavy damage if it hit. The ground below them received the excess of the blow, deep glowing white scars carved a rough triangle into the concrete.

((Note that none of these are sure hits. This is just a long combo and she executes the entire thing to her best ability regardless of evasion/blocking, pursuing as closely as possible.))

Izanami was a little to preoccupied with her offensive to register most of the Shinigami's pointless rambling, or the attack he had, for some indiscernible reason, shot in her direction. Instead, she was focused on the fact that none of the hits of one of her strongest attacks seemed to do much of anything besides bleed the monster a bit. That was not good. Her assault was halted just as she was about to try and deliver a decisive blow by a well place kick at her weapon, the impact only barely mitigated by her strength and sword skills. She had to break away.

Switching her Blut to Vene, she rerouted the supportive network in her blood for maximum defense, before bringing her swords before her. They were only just in time to take the brunt of an attack that could have put her out of commission for the rest of the fight. She was only human; she had to defend her vitals even more than most. The blow to her kidney, while partially protected by her blades, still impacted more than enough to send her flying and deliver immense pain.

As she felt herself finally hit the ground in a rough landing, she thanked the training that kept her body intact after such a harsh move. It looked like even her strongest close combat abilities would be insufficient to take down one of the Sins. She would have to do this from a range somehow, or she would take far too much damage to do much of anything. The Quincy cross at her back returned to its original shape, and Izanami combined Empty Skies once more to form a short bow, all of the blades aligned to make it easier to use. Still, she was going to need a second to recover from that one. Hopefully the other guy could keep her busy for a moment. If she could help it she would not resort to Ransotengai just yet.

Izanami would be forced to trust that the Shinigami could handle himself. As Izanami caught her breath and allowed herself a moment's reprieve, she began to draw in more of the ambient Reishi in the spiritually dense town of Karakura. Truly, it was a wonderful city to have such a massive amount of spirit particles just waiting to be used. After a few moments of cautious observation of the battle before her, she noticed something strange. Izanami had been able to lay idle for a fairly significant amount of time. Usually when she was fighting, even in skirmishes with allies she would have to watch her back. But this time...

She had spent roughly the entire last few moments completely undisturbed. Not even a minor attack thrown her way to keep her moving. It was like the Togabito completely changed her focus. It could be a ploy but...she didn't seem like that kind of person. The Sin she was fighting seemed far more driven by raw instinct and emotion. She was powerful, but only that. Izanami smirked. This might not be as impossible as she previously thought. Izanami took to the sky without hesitation. This Togabito may be so resilient that her techniques would be unable to deal a fatal wound, but that did not mean she was invincible. If they injured her sufficiently, wore her out, or otherwise managed to subdue her, it would be a boon for the Consecro. They would have a live Sin to do with what they desired.

As she reached a fair point in the sky, Izanami checked again to make sure her fast ally in this fight had things under control. Then, she stabilized the platform of Reishi beneath her feet, making sure she had good footing. The Quincy pentacle structure formed at her back once again split, but this time, it parted completely. Each spoke and ring broke from its setting and flew around her, slightly ascending into the sky. The Obelisk of Chastity raised her arm, the bangle of Reishi around it glowing brightly. Her spirit swords, the Empty Skies, disintegrated and fused their composite energy into the bangle. When her palm faced the sky, the bangle began to spin, and the divided Quincy pentacle parts settled into an orbit around it, spinning in the opposite direction. All around her, faint particles of light popped to life seemingly out of nowhere; they were the gathered and condensed Reishi drawn en masse from Karakura's spiritually saturated environment. Combined with her own Reiryoku, which also sprung from her body moving up her arm like electricity, all of the potential power began moving lightning fast, gathering just above her palm. Slowly but surely, an orb of brilliant spiritual mass began to form, and the spinning of both bangle and pentacle began to accelerate.

'Virtuous Saint's Holy Rapture...,' she thought to herself. It was usually used for bombarding a number of enemies, but if its output were to be focused, it could be even more powerful than her Divine Spear. Under normal circumstances the technique took too long to be used against powerful foes without assistance, but not only was the Shinigami monopolizing Kira's attention, his onslaught would sufficiently add to her own offensive, and could be the key to victory. While the Sin may or may not notice the attack until it was too late, she doubted the competent ally she had made would miss the charging energy.

"Oh Dear, perhaps I gave you a bit to much credit for your resilience." Fero said more to himself then to the Sin before him. She had recovered from the secondary blow rather well, getting herself immediately away from him by flinging herself from the impact site and not allowing him to take that chance to deliver any more assaults on her while she was down. However as far as putting the wind back in her sails she seemed to be struggling for a moment. He felt the icy chill of death run down his spine as she held his eyes with her stare and that lifeless chain of drool hanging from her lips. Dripping down to her breast bone and trailing inexorably down to her...to her...

Fensake nearly averted his gaze when he took full stock of her finally outside of checking for his condition after his assault to gauge how much power he would need to put her down for good. Bloody hell she is might as well be unclothed at this point. Why did the quincy have to slash up her outfit! And varily his minds inner turmoil was well founded for after the quincy's assault Kira's clothing was shredded to the point where a few threads further snipped would leave her well exposed to the elements of the world about her. His foolish allowance for the distraction gave Kira the moment longer she needed to put her faculties in order and with a swift and strong-willed declaration she charged forward like some strange schoolyard brawler with her fist raised high behind her.

Her strength is no joke, I'll need to be fairly careful with how I handle that attack even if it is delivered by the technique of an amateur. Fensake thought as he readied himself with his hands held out wide beside him blades held with the blunt tips inward as if he aimed to smash them into her sides when she came to range. He shifted balance slightly to his right foot and leaned in, bringing his arms in now just slightly.

She reached her axe, but Fensake was so focused on her he did not even notice her kick it's handle and it smashed heavily into his shin spilling him forward to the ground. He gathered his left arm beneath him to try and catch himself entirely on instinct letting his body fall atop it as she barreled down on him. "Bakudou no Hachi, Seki." Once again his instinctual reaction sought to assist him in escaping what he assumed would be a very painful trampling but do to the nature of his spell his body was flung from atop his arm and out of the line of fire while the arm itself was merely pressed down into the ground. As she roared past he felt her heel smash through the spell, never meant to try and block her level of power in the first place, and crash down on his outstretched arm to the tune of a sharp but momentary pain as a fracture on his bone cracked to life from the stress of her raw strength crushing down on it.

Undeterred by the pain Fensake rolled out and curled himself into a ball before coming up onto his feet and while refraining from physically lashing out at her for fear she would expect it he did intend to not let her hit and run. "Hadou No Sanjusan, Soukatsui!" He roared shoving his uninjured arm forward as blue energy coalesced and shot out to engulf Kira from behind.

When the great amount of spiritual energy and Reishi collided and subsequently compacted to a fine point, it was suddenly released into multiple focused beams of light. The arcs of brilliant spirit power shot into the sky, before breaking away from each other and swerving around, changing course to converge directly at the Sin's position. Like the judgement of an angry god, they fell, holy spears of retribution. Many succeeded where her earlier Crusader attack had failed, targeting some of the weakened spots in her tough skin and piercing right through with little difficult. About halfway into the bombardment, Kira managed a rough defense, bringing her unwieldy weapon up as a sort of shield. It only served to partially protect the wretched being from Chastity's righteous fury.

As the dust settled from Izanami's intense barrage, The Reishi dispersed, her Quincy Pentacle separating once more and retaking its place upon her back. The particles she had gathered up until now slowly departed, releasing bit by bit from her transformed state. Gabriel would not be sustainable for much longer; she had used so much energy already, but it had paid off; the Sin had been dealt a crippling blow, and was now clearly being pushed to her limits. As the waves of wind hit her, Izanami held it at bay with her remaining spirit energy, the last reserve being saved for an emergency.

With the Togabito and Visored's movements, they had eventually worked themselves around to the spot where she had discreetly placed a Ginto. Holding out her hand, a small spark of Reishi darted from her fingertip to the small silver canister where it lay amongst the rubble. "Grand Cross."
A flash of light, and a towering crucifix of silver material rose forth from the shattered concrete. Both Fensake and Kira, unable to manipulate Reishi directly, would feel a strong pull towards the object, though nothing either would find an insurmountable force. On its own, the Grand Cross would not be able to contain such a strong Togabito within its field, but with the pressure from the man assisting her, as well as a little additonal help...

Izanmami reached into her robes again and withdrew a new pair of Ginto. In these, she infused a small amount of her energy, configuring them to act for a different purpose. Tossing her arm, the two capsules exploded, loosing rapid beams of light that quickly encompassed the area surrounding Fensake and Kira. Numerous joints of silver floated around them, and every other moment or so, a flash of light could be seen bouncing between them. In actuality, this was the Reishi becoming momentarily visible. The Ginto had formed a sort of electric fence to surround Fensake and Kira, and combined with the pull of the cross as well as Fensake's strong combat competency, the Sin would find retreat very daunting. Izanami prepared Empty Skies in shotrbow form once more to assist as air support.

"She won't be able to keep her distance from you very easily! Now is your chance to deal a decisive blow!" She shouted this at Fensake who undoubtedly would take the chance when he saw fit.

That was most definitely a compound fracture. Fensake spared a glance to his arm held close in to his body for protection. Now that the shock of adrenaline had passed he was feeling it but even so he had no chance to dwell on it as the Girl turned about to speak with him. She certainly did not seem any worse for the wear the way she stayed up. Her breathing wasn't coming at the cost of laborous effort nor had her movements dulled any discernible amount with the blow to her center. A fighter struck by reigning blows on key sections of the body, from kidneys to upper inside ribs. With normal fighters that was the base area you aimed for as no other spots left the opponent feeling as much pain. However with fighters capable of leveling city blocks the way any of the gathered might be able to do, a strong blow to a central area like the stomach was more problematic. Muscle groups from that area were involved in every other body movement one could perform but she was not so much hindered by it as she was perturbed it seemed like. She was truly a dreadfully powerful enemy, possibly stronger then any he had ever faced before.

And Fensake could not stop trembling with excitement.

The series of events to follow, even for Fensake, was a blur that molded itself into a coherent chain of events only after it had all settled. Spears of light lanced down to the ground all about the sin and himself, many finding their way to target and shredding the girls body apart even as she fell back to hide behind her massive Ax. Fensake narrowly avoided several errant lances himself, tucking in and diving away from the barrage as best he could but not escaping it unscathed as beam cut across the bridge of his nose and left a long wound that stuttured itself from right eyebrow across the bridge of his nose and leaving a slightly deeper wound in his left cheek. The very ground around the two it seemed was being shredded under the quincies assault but at last the world fell quiet.

Kira had been dealt a severe blow, one that had splattered Fensake with an unnaturally chill blood spray. In disgust he removed the white outer portion of his ninja Detective costume before reaching up and ripping the black mask from his face that now only acted as an annoyance due to the facial wound. Even despite all the wounds her body carried this monster rose from the aftermath, angrier then she had been and if anime's were to be trusted she was thus at least three times as powerful as before. Fensake could take away that he was still at least on her good side but then whether a blessing or a curse such information was he might never know.

Her newly sprouted and wretched form definitely did not go against any of his theories that her anger only enhanced her ability to dole out punishment as even just after upgrading herself she managed to send him nearly tumbling end over end into nearby rubble. He slammed into it heavily but under control so the damage was minimized to the stronger muscle groups of his back and shoulders. Countless civilians still close enough to feel the presence of the gods fighting for their sake went airborne only to land with sickeningly wet snaps and crunches as bones gave and in not a small amount of cases entire organ systems simply exploded.

Rubble from the top of the pile Fensake had been sent flying into rolled over top of him, trapping him beneath even as the quincy attempted to regain some control of the combat area by surrounding it and setting down her Grand Cross.

"You know, it's funny you mention ending this quickly." A deeper, far more austere voice uttered from within the rubble. "You seem to keep thinking somehow, no matter what you let happen, you can beat us." Rubble quaked, as steam arose from between cracks and crevices. "Not a single shred of assistance comes from the Soul Society yet we have kept you here for how long? Ever wonder why they might not have sent a single unit to check this event out?" A hand erupted from within the rock, no longer sporting a knife it grabbed hold of a large slab before heaving it aside so that it's master might rise from his shallow grave. "Because one man," Fensake lifted himself from within the rubble cocoon, the insides somehow melted together as if by intense flames so he appeared to emerge from an earthen stasis bed. "Is already present, ready, and far more deadly then anything they might be able to field."

The very ground Fensake stepped down on seemed to glow red hot, sagging beneath each step and leaving a clear line of his imprints behind him as he stalked towards his foe. "I have the power to crush not just you but every single sorry ass fool who might think to call themselves I Am." He finalized, stopping just ten feet short from her as he cocked one arm back and locked eyes with her. "Ban-," Flames erupted about his body, starting from the farthermost tips of his hands and feet and slowly burning their way along his limbs leaving a deep crimson armor in their wake. Flares of energy erupted from points of the armor as it was formed like small little test firings of a rocket engine before releasing it's full power and engulfing where Fensake stood completely in flames while his weapon finished forming itself. "KAI!"

Suddenly the very flames that had engulfed him seemed to erupt with even greater intensity as they shot skyward, filling the air behind him entirely with a flaming hell inferno. From that hellish inferno came a massive crimson armored hand belching fire from every conceivable angle. If one were to not be staring at the giant fireball behind Fensake's own smaller one they would notice his own hand likewise jutting out from within it. Slowly he, and likewise the giant hand above, would reach from one side to the opposite and physically took hold of the flames like they were a fabric blowing in the wind. With a swift tug the fires were swept aside like a curtain and dissipated revealing Fensake in fully armored and splendid glory,twin chains leading from his back upwards to the bottom of a floating torso likewise plated almost entirely in armor but for a great maw that showed a molten core of energy. Fires belched and sputtered from opening through both armors highlighting Fensake and his Bankai's sinister appearance. "Crimson Hell Furnace Enigma."

The air itself seemed to want to melt as flames radiated off of both Fensake and the monstrous torso of metal hanging behind him. Tentatively Fensake re-cocked his arm, small fire bursts enhancing the speed and fluidity of his movement, and the armored body of his spirit mimicked the maneuver. "..." He held her gaze for a full three seconds before full burns from the upwards of seventeen nozzles on his arm propelled his arm down into the ground in an instant. His armored giant again mimicking the maneuver with equal swiftness as it's own fire spewing fist rocketed down to smash the airborne Sin back down to the earth and crush it there.

"Not exactly the delicate sort are you. Not that I had thought you were before though." Fensake grinned, struggling with her raw strength with his fist held mere inches from the ground before him to mirror the scale of his armor fist hovering mere feet where she sought to fend it off. "Horyaaaaaah" Fensake bellowed as he shoved all his weight further onto the arm to be rewarded with a sickening crack of bone and tendons from the girls arm before she flung the fist aside and threw herself back and away.

"I've noticed you around for quite awhile today." Fensake said as the dust began to settle about them from the impact of his weapons fist. "I was done with you before any of this ever came to pass, your the one who decided to re-open the book." His and the giants hand opened and closed several times as he let his head idle a bit to the left to look at her. Small flakes and bits of metal fell from the giants backhand and knuckles, making it seem oddly brittle but truthfully showing a testament to the womans strength before him. "Kurosaki, that quincy, you. I don't know and never intended to know what any of you were or are. I had to act serious all over again because for some reason a war decided to erupt in my town." He seemed to be on a roll and ready to keep babbling on but a sickened look crossed his features as he finally got a look at her mangled limb. At her apparent lack of feeling as she forced it to rise to her mouth to deposit a blade within her teeth. No, serious Fensake had just checked out cause he realized now that what he had just seen was actually a replayed memory. He had seen it moments before speaking but the sheer disturbing nature of it forced him to process it slower then normal. To take note of it after the fact. To question one small thing about it that would never make sense to him till she told him how.

"Wait? How did you talk with a knife in your mouth?" And then suddenly his brain caught up to the situation at hand. And then suddenly her feet smashed into his chest without him ever noticing her approach, so baffled had his mind been that whole seconds were only now being played through his mind. He shot backwards, his ribs only surviving by factor of the armor covering his upper body cracking under the pressure of the blow and dispersing it's force. Regardless he would have some serious bruising to deal with. On instinct he immediately grasped for the section of his body and his enigma's hands enclosed around him and protecting him from her follow-up assault.
"Gah geez what the hell just...Oh. OH. Ooooh, right that's it." He shook his head to clear it of the sudden flurry of events that were finally being relayed to him. "Man this girls pretty unstable," He tilted his head as the knife shot through a small gap in the armor and left a small cut on his ear. "Definitely need to calm her down. Capture and kill, and what was the crap I spewed? I get caught up to much in the moment." He waited as the girl continued to cling and clang her knife on his armory cocoon, taking a twist here and their to avoid a stab that managed to break through the armors fingers. "Calm Down Already. Enigma, Scorch her off us wouldja?" He said absently as he knocked his head against the armored palm holding him. On that cue the fist cocoon spewed flames outwards towards the crazed monster assaulting it to burn her off itself. Only opening to let Fensake out if/when she backed off her crazed assault.

Izanami had conserved a fair amount of energy to assist if she was needed, but with Kira so heavily damaged and forced to fight in such close quarters, the battle had turned in their favor. Eventually, the Sin finally lost consciousness. The battle was apparently over.

Disengaging her holy form, the Obelisk descended to the ground, moving in to capture her target. Upon close inspection, it became apparent that the sum of damage was enough to subdue her long enough to get he under containment. Eva and Katrina would be returning soon when they felt the spiritual intensity subside, and it would only be a short trip back to the Vatican upon their transportation seal. "Such evil...thank you, for protecting those people." She directed this sincere comment at her fast ally, glad that innocent lives were spared. If it was within her power, she would have tried harder to keep the Sin away, but Kira had proved far more volatile than she anticipated. Izanami would have spared more words with the man who helped her, but she was short on time.

Picking up the unconscious body, she began to carry it away towards the direction of her subordinates. From there, they would use the transportation ritual to cart Kira back to the Vatican, and at that point she would be under the lock and key of Consecro. Her part in this was done; all she need to do now was ensure her swift delivery.

((Exit))
