-----------------------------------

A normal school day was taking place in Karakura High school, the students all studying in class or hanging out in the hallways. Outside the school campus, no one noticed a large black wolf enter the premises over the school gate, it's spectral-like body smoking like shadowy fire, crimson eyes glowing from the shadowy beast's face. It wasn't until the beast jumped straight into the 3rd floor window, entering directly into a class room, onto the teachers desk and materialized himself by condensing his reiatsu into his form did he become visible to the normal eye. A lot of students gasped and an unnatural silence fell over the room. The female teacher behind the beast froze, the chalk loosely hanging in her hand. The beast surveyed everyone infront of it. So many students gaping at it in horror. Such weak beings. And this was exactly what that Kurosaki Ichigo protected. Weak humans who died upon a single touch.

It seemed to happen in slow motion... The chalk slowly slipped from the frozen teacher's fingers and fell to the floor, ever so slowly. It hit the ground with a tiny thud that seemed to resonate throughout the room. Then, There was chaos. A black blur engulfed the room, and with several screams and a bloody roar filling the room, the entire attack ended within a few seconds. Everyone who had been in the room didn't even manage to move from their places. They all slumped in their seats, dead or dying, blood spurting or gurgling out of claw and bite wounds. A female lied head down on the desk infront of her, disemboweled as her innards fell to the floor under her with a slimy thump. A male sat leaned back on his chair, his head joined to his neck by a single thread of skin, the entire throat area missing from a vicious bite. The teacher herself was nothing more than a bloodied and torn up torso, her arms and legs torn up and scattered all over the room. The once cream colored walls were now almost completely stained crimson, with chunks of flesh sticking to the walls. Bones and flesh littered the floor and upon the teacher's table stood the beast, it's black flaming fur almost completely stained with crimson. It was now that the Beast began to emanate a powerful pulse of reiatsu, strong enough to carry for miles and alert people of his power, but dispersed enough to not disintegrate the building and the remaining inhabitants on contact. Anyone who felt the wave would suddenly feel a cold chill and a shiver and unless they were spiritually aware, they would not know what kind of evil reiatsu it was.... Now, the wait began.

Ichigo Kurosaki

It was a normal day for Ichigo, if there ever was such a thing. For once, he wasn’t off fighting hollows, arrancar, or anything of the sort. Although the attacks were still as frequent as ever, there seemed to be nothing going on for the time being. And so, Ichigo had taken this chance to go to school, in the slight chance that he might catch up on his classes a little. Although that was his purpose for even bothering to go in the first place, it was obvious that he was making no effort whatsoever to “catch up”. Or rather, the orange-haired teen was staring off into space, completely oblivious to whatever the teacher was talking about at that point. After everything that had happened over the course of the last few months, or really, throughout his entire life, he had a lot to think about. The main focus of his thoughts right now, however, was the strange reiatsu levels that had apparently been popping up all over the globe, most of them particularly close to Karakura Town.

Of course, these semi-peaceful moments could never last long; not for him. Ichigo was torn from his thoughts when he heard the distant sound of glass breaking. It sounded not too far away, most likely on the same floor as the class he was in right then; the third. He stood up quickly, ignoring the looks he was getting for suddenly getting up in the middle of class. The others should have been used to it by now. He wondered if he should go check it out, or just sit down. After all, anything could have happened; for all he knew, a fight could have broken out. It wouldn’t be the first time. Ichigo himself had broken windows and other objects in that school many a time. After he heard the glass breaking, nothing else followed, and no one else reacted to the sound. Maybe he had imagined it? It was then that he heard it: a series of screams all cut short much too quickly for his liking. There was also what sounded like the roar of some sort of animal. Maybe he hadn’t imagined the glass breaking.

“Shit!” He exclaimed, running out of the room, knocking his chair over in the process. If he had acted sooner, he could have prevented whatever was happening in that room down the hall. But he didn’t have time to think about that right now. He felt a sudden pulse of strong reiatsu, almost as strong as his own. It didn’t take him long to realize that it was the reiatsu of an arrancar, most likely an Espada by the strength of it. Not even bothering to think about it, Ichigo ripped his combat pass from his pocket and pressed it against his chest. His body fell back lifelessly onto the floor as he ran forward, now in clad in a shihakusho, with the addition of X-shaped black bands over his wrists, ankles, and chest. In what took only a few seconds, but felt like hours, Ichigo reached the door to the classroom. He threw it open, almost busting the door off of its hinges, and stepped inside.

What he saw, was an image that would stick with him for the rest of his life. Bodies everywhere, all gruesomely slaughtered; some weren’t even in one piece. There was so much blood in the room that he could actually smell it, that sickening irony scent. There seemed to be something resembling an arm near his left foot. For a good while, all he could do was stare around at the carnage. It wasn’t as if there was a focal point to the room now, everything was red. Ichigo shook slightly as he held back the urge to vomit. This was his fault, he knew it. Whoever had done this was probably here for him, and he had not gotten to the room in time. As a result of that, all of these people were dead. He could even know some of them. That thought caused him to slowly look over in the direction from which the reiatsu was coming. All he saw was a large wolf, standing on the teacher's desk. It was covered in the blood that seemed to permeate even the air. Ichigo started walking towards the beast, with an uncharacteristically blank expression. He knew that that thing was not just an animal. Well, he didn’t care what it was. It had just killed a lot of his classmates, and probably for some stupid reason too. It was going to pay.

Once he was halfway across the room, and roughly seven feet away from the wolf, Ichigo raised his right hand to the hilt of Zangetsu, grasping the hilt tightly. “You did this.” He said, in a tone that could possibly inspire fear in a captain-level shinigami. It was obviously an accusation, not a question. Ichigo had no intention of asking questions at the moment. As he got closer to the wolf, Ichigo’s reiatsu spiked uncontrollably. But even in his state, he made sure that it didn’t get so high that it could endanger anyone else. He also knew that he needed to draw the wolf outside of the school, and preferably up into the sky, so that no one else would get hurt. It would pose a huge problem if anyone else rushed into the room now.

[OOC: TBH, I would pay to see that happen xD]

The wolf simply stared back with it's crimson eyes focused upon the man it had been waiting for. It's wolfish features seemed to change into a proud smirk, although it didn't physically shift in the slightest other than a smirk. The large black wolf, which was about the size of a large tiger, turned around and jumped out of the window it had come through, shedding the blood stains on it in a cloud of black reiatsu. It landed outside and even though it landed lightly, an almost invisible shockwave emanated from the point it had landed. Everyone nearby, who had frozen at the sight of it, suddenly fell unconscious when the pulse of reiatsu hit them. They weren't dead. They were just overwhelmed by the reiatsu and that tiny amount of time was enough to knock them out instead of kill them. This occured almost all over the school, most weak humans being instantly knocked out. Even spiritually aware one would be knocked down to their knees. But it wouldn't affect Ichigo, aside from a chilling breeze. As the wolf waited for Ichigo to come, he was suddenly engulfed in more black reiatsu.

The Reiatsu flared around him like shadowy flames, covering him completely. The flames heightened, giving off no Heat nor light. And just as suddenly as they had come, they dispersed, revealing the tall, slender man standing where the wolf once stood. His hands were in the pockets of his black pants, his large black coat flowing freely behind him in the wind, his bare chest and stomach showing his chiseled body. The large number 1 was partially visible on his chest. His sharp face exhibitted only one emotion. Proud amusement. He was actually amused at the spectacle.

Only a speck of blood was remaining on his form, and it was just above his lip. It was shortlived, however, as he licked it off, his eyes narrowing and his malicious smile widening at the taste of blood. His Reiatsu spiked as well, showing that he was a force to be reckoned with. He stayed silent, his slender right hand slowly rising from it's position beside him to the crimson hilt of his zanpakutou. In one fluid motion, he drew his 4 ft long zanpakutou, Lucifer, and held it in a ready stance, shifting the position of his body to best suit his combat style.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, the Ultimate Prey. Come to me and fight. If you do not pose a challenge, I'll level this pitiful town and I'm sure you know that I am completely capable of that." Lance said, smirking proudly as he waited for Ichigo to make the first move. His right hand gripping his blade towards his opponent, he kept his left hand in his pocket, charging a Cero within his loose-fist in secret. He compressed the cero so it was the size of a marble, meaning that it would be extremely concentrated and powerful when fired. He then waited for Ichigo, his reiatsu flaring to hide any trace of his charging Cero.

Ichigo Kurosaki

Ichigo had been about to draw Zangetsu when the large wolf suddenly turned and jumped out of the window. Said window was already open, so Ichigo assumed that that had been how the animal, or whatever it was, had entered, not that it mattered now. “Get back here!” He shouted, running over to the aperture. Without hesitating, he placed his free hand on the windowsill to balance himself and then jumped out. He landed on the ground outside only a few seconds after the wolf did, the three-story fall not affecting him at all. Shortly after, he noticed the people throughout the area beginning to fall to the ground and shot a murderous glare at the wolf, whom was now obscured from his view by fiery black reiatsu. He knew that nobody had actually died from the reiatsu shockwave, that level of reiatsu was strong, but not enough to kill someone. But still, the thought that the creature was still harming people, even now, enraged him even more.

As he had already figured out, the wolf was actually an arrancar. Although, after what he had done to the people in the classroom, Ichigo could only think of him as an animal. An Espada, I figured as much. Ichigo thought when he saw what looked to be part of the number one tattooed on the arrancar’s chest. He didn’t give a single fuck about the rank of this arrancar right now. What pissed him off the most, was his expression. Not only did he look like he had enjoyed what he had just done, but he seemed to be quite proud of it. Ichigo’s eyes widened suddenly with rage; he really wanted nothing more than to kill this guy, right here, right now. Usually, he was satisfied with simply defeating his opponents. Not this time. “You…” Ichigo didn’t get to finish what he had been about to say, as the arrancar drew his zanpakuto and began to speak.

“You won’t be hurting anyone else. I’ll make sure of that.” Ichigo retorted seriously, tugging on the hilt of Zangetsu. As the white cloth that had previous bound the excessively large blade fell away, Ichigo had already disappeared from where he had been standing. Having used shunpo, he reappeared just above the arrancar, with Zangetsu raised high above his head. Not even bothering to wait until he touched ground, Ichigo brought Zangetsu down in a mighty swing towards the top of the arrancar’s left shoulder. Although it was the first offensive move Ichigo had made thus far, he was already aiming to kill. If the slash connected full-force, it had the potential to mortally wound the arrancar, or even cut him in half.

And he took the bait. Lance was a smart person, there was no doubting that. He knew about Ichigo's strong sense of justice and honor and knew that the man would go straight for a strike upfront. No flashy tricks nor any sneak-hits. A straight attack from the front was his style. And Lance was not disappointed when Ichigo did what Lance exactly expected him to do. Since Lance was already waiting for Ichigo to attack, he had the upper-hand on countering this move and therefore, he moved extremely quickly, his reaction time exactly as fast as the time it took for Ichigo to close in on him. He sidestepped the strike so fast, his entire form blurred for a second, before it faded away to show him standing a few inches to the right, causing the slash to completely miss. However, as the blade was slashing down at the air beside him, it seemed to happen in slow motion. Lance had enough distance from the blade to draw his left hand out of his pocket while the blade fell, narrowly missing the sleeve of his left arm. With the force of the slash, the momentum would carry it down into the ground. As the blade slammed into the ground where Lance once stood, his left hand opened to reveal the Cero he had been charging, letting it decompress into a football-sized Cero. The Red light it released dyed both of them with it's hue while darkening the surrounding area in a sinister way. Lance's red eyes narrowed as the Cero in his left hand, charging up to it's limit, glowed and emitted it's high pitched shriek of power.

"Goodbye, Ichigo Kurosaki." He said, giving Ichigo one last smirk of triumph as he let the Cero loose, pointblank. However, the Cero had little penetration power. It was meant to be more forceful and filled with raw power than penetrating. It would most likely send Ichigo flying if it hit while causing a damn-good amount of damage. But it would not kill him. Perhaps a broken bone or two, if Ichigo was really that weak or if the Cero was really that strong, seeing as how it was point-blank as well. Nevertheless, the Cero Fired and it's grand crimson light completely lit up the area.

Lance, not wanting to take any chances, instantly used Sonido to move away from the area he was standing, appearing 20 ft away from it. He drew his crimson-handled zanpakutou in one fluid motion with his right hand while he flexed his left palm, readying another Cero. He kept his eyes on Ichigo and if he lost visual during the Cero-blast, he'd use his senses to Pinpoint Ichigo's position and move his eyes to keep a visual on the orange-haired man. This Prey was his.

Ichigo Kurosaki

Ichigo had half-expected his slash to miss its target, but he was still surprised when Lance sidestepped the attack, almost too fast for his eye to follow. Shit, Ichigo mentally cursed, knowing what was coming next. A counter of some sort, and he had left himself wide open for it. Just as the edge of Zangetsu slammed into the ground, a harsh red light fell upon Ichigo. A cero, he guessed. Ichigo had enough experience fighting hollows and the like to know what the red light and sudden spike in reiatsu meant. He only had enough time to look over to Lance and draw his blade up a little before the red light engulfed him.

Oddly enough, Ichigo did not get sent flying by the cero; although he did get pushed back a good distance. From where he was standing, Lance would be able to feel Ichigo’s reiatsu soar to unimaginable heights while he was literally standing inside the cero, but only for a brief moment.

Then the cero dissipated, and Ichigo was revealed, standing with Zangetsu raised in front of him. A thick path of charred ground let up to his feet, but did not go any farther than that. He was looking at the ground, his entire form glowing with a vibrant blue-white reiryoku. At the very last second, Ichigo had released all of his reiryoku, which had clashed with the cero and protected Ichigo, for the most part. His shihakusho was tattered in some places, but other than that, Ichigo was relatively unharmed. The reiryoku slowly began to fade, and then disappeared altogether when Ichigo raised his head with a slight smirk, looking straight at Lance. “Is that it?” he asked loudly enough that the arrancar could hear him from his distance.

Ichigo took a step towards Lance, before he stopped, his expression becoming serious again. He had to remember not to mess around. This was not just some random scuffle; it was a battle to the death. Lance had just murdered a lot of people. Ichigo could never forgive him for that. He was going to end him. He had to protect everyone else! He pointed up to the sky with his free hand. “Up there. If you want me to be able to fight you without holding back, it’ll be in the sky,” Ichigo said in a straightforward manner, leaving no room for argument. He refused to use his full power down on the ground, especially in the middle of a crowded city centre. In short, he was restricting himself to melee combat at current. He would not use Getsuga Tenshou or Bankai so close to the school, as he would most likely cause even more damage. He had already caused millions in damage to this town in his battles; he did not need even more guilt to add to that.

He awaited Lance’s response, shouldering Zangetsu. Even if the arrancar refused -- which was highly unlikely given the fact that he seemed to want a serious fight – Ichigo planned to force him up into the air anyways. He did not know how, but he would find a way. He wanted to kill this arrancar with everything he had.

[Coincidentally, I was thinking the exact same thing PSYCHIC. ]
Lance smirked as he said, "On the Contraire, Kurosaki. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do this." He said, pointing his arm forward at the school building and giving Ichigo juuuust enough time to process what Lance was about to do, Lance shot the Cero at the building. It would no doubt destroy the entire portion of the building caught in the Cero and, knowing Ichigo, Lance expected him to put himself in it's path to save the school. Lance figured out how Ichigo saved himself from the previous cero, but releasing all of your reiryoku in a short time lapse like that was straining. But this was just a distraction as Lance instantly used sonido to disappearing. He appeared somewhere not-visible to Ichigo, but there was a short feminine scream. A moment later, Lance reappeared on the field and with one hand, he was holding a female student against him, his right hand holding his zanpakutou to the neck of the girl. The girl was breathing very shallow and quick breaths, obviously panicking at this situation. Moreover, it was Ichigo's classmate and friend for the past month, Selena Sonorous. She looked weakened and extremely scared, almost as pale as chalk.

"Ah, look at this fine specimen. In the entire area, she is the only one who managed to stay awake from my reiatsu pulse. So she must have some fine taste in her soul." Lance said maliciously, pressing the blade up against the girl's neck just a bit, which caused her breath to hitch.

As the girl addressed Ichigo, Lance smirked triumphantly. "Ah, so you DO know the girl. Interesting." He said, grinning at this juicy piece of information. Tears were now rolling down the girl's cheeks as Lance studied Ichigo for a few moments. "Well then Ichigo, lets see how strong your justice is against my pure power." He Said, shifting a bit so he could cut the palm of his left hand with his Zanpakutou blade. The blood suddenly floated up above his left hand, which he held infront of himself and the girl, the palm facing upwards as the blood floating above it was suddenly covered in dark red reiatsu. The Area suddenly began to shake with the power as the piercing sound of the Gran Ray Cero echo'd in the silent area. "THINK FAST, KUROSAKI." He Shouted, and with lighting fast speed, he stuck his zanpakutou into the ground, grabbed the girl by her collar and threw her into the air. A split second later, she was already about 70 ft in the air when he launched the Gran Ray Cero at her. The Cero was vast and powerful, darkening the entire area with it's sheer brilliance. This would definitely damage Ichigo drastically if it hit, and that was while he was on full defense.

Selena Sonorous
Fraccion to the Primera
Student at Karakura Highschool

The last thing she remembered was suddenly being knocked down to the floor by a strong reiatsu. All of the people around her had fallen unconscious, and though the reiatsu did not affect her in the slightest, other than a chill, she had to act to the best of her abilities. She got up weakly, the Gigai being the form that was weakened from the pulse as she managed to stumble over to the window. She managed to put herself onto the window-sil, looking out at the field to see Ichigo and Lance standing there. Ah, her master Lance looked so handsome... Such a strong man, her master was. For him, she would do anything. And she knew the plan. This last month, she had been an innocent girl with some spiritual pressure who got friendly with the Orange haired boy called Ichigo Kurosaki. There was a rumor that she might even have had a crush on him. Ofcourse, this was all a play and she was the actress. Her abilities to act like this had allowed her to infiltrate this place, the Gigai hiding all trace of her true reiatsu.

She was cut out of her thoughts when she felt Lance suddenly grab her and a split second later, she was on the field. The look of surprise was genuine on her face and quickly turned into shock, perfectly being the innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. As Lance spoke, she managed to say in a frightened voice, "Ichigo, what's going on? Who is this man? Ichigo... Help me..."

Her voice was choked by held back sobs, tears flowing freely from her eyes as she paled further at his words. And then, she was thrown into the air, a bloodcurdling scream escaping her mouth as she screamed Ichigo's name, the Cero already approaching fast upon her. But in reality, she wanted Ichigo to come to his death. If the plan failed or went array, she would most likely die if she didn't manage to escape. She was already prepared to eject from this Gigai if Ichigo did not take the bait. But her face nor body showed any indication of this, as she flew up as helpless as a ragdoll.

Orihime Inoue

Orihime had fallen in a hasted step behind Ichigo when she too heard all the noise but stopped right when he left his body, she knew that whatever was going on he could handle it and so decided to drag his body to safety; grabbing him by the shoulders she started moving him as gently as she could, grunts of her effort echoed through out the empty hall as she moved. She took him to an empty classroom which had been abandoned and tried her best to set him up on a chair though his body slumped forward and leaned on the desk, he looked like he was sleeping which was perfect.

Admiring her good job for a moment with a triumphant smile before she remembered the situation and felt the intense burst of reiatsu, a look of determination crossed her features and she turned tail and hurried down the hall and stairs as fast as her legs could carry her; even if she couldn't help Ichigo in the fight directly she could still help him with moral support or maybe any hollow that might have shown up, the reiatsu that would be put out would be enough to attract them and if that happened she could help take care of them while he fought the main opponent.

She made it outside just in time to see Lance's cero hurling for the building and in a quick reaction she used her Santen Kesshun technique to form a triangular shield between herself and the cero, successfully blocking the building and protecting the people she knew were still inside; she noticed however a girl that had been thrown up into the air and her eyes widened, unfortunately there was nothing she could do to react in time but at least she had saved Ichigo the trouble of having to worry about being two places at once and that eased her mind a little. She watched and waited to see how he would handle saving the girl and if there would be anything she could do to help after he did.

Ichigo Kurosaki

“What do you mean?” Ichigo demanded. Then, as Lance raised his arm towards the school, it registered. He was going to try and destroy the school. No! He had been about to rush to the defense of the building, knowing that there were still people inside. But before he did, he saw the cero get stopped dead by something else; someone else had blocked it. It took him a second, but he quickly recognized the reiatsu of the person who had blocked it, and afterwards, the glowing triangular shield. Glad to see that Orihime was safe, Ichigo had been about to call out to her until he heard a shriek. He whipped around, only to see that Lance was now holding his blade to the neck of a familiar classmate. “Selena!” he exclaimed, recognizing her immediately because of her prominent greenish hair. She had transferred to his school recently. And although he had known her for little but a month or so, he still considered her a friend. He had been aware that she possessed some spiritual power, but she was still the last person he expected to be pulled into this.

When Lance pressed the blade against Selena’s neck, Ichigo, yelled, “Put her down, you bastard!” He was enraged at all the underhanded stunts Lance was pulling. Before, it Lance had implied that he wanted a decent fight. But now that he only seemed to be employing these tactics to try and catch Ichigo off guard, it didn’t seem that way. Bringing other people, who were otherwise uninvolved into this was just wrong, and it fueled Ichigo’s determination to take out Lance even more.

At first, Ichigo wondered what Lance was doing when he suddenly cut his hand. Then, when that reiatsu formed, Ichigo was reminded of another arrancar he had fought not too long ago. “This is…,” he did not need to finish his sentence. It was a Gran Rey Cero. That was the only thing that could explain the use of blood, or the dramatically increased reiatsu that it contained. He had a feeling that he knew what lance was about to do with that cero. “No, don’t!” he shouted, as Lance threw the girl up in the air. There was no time to think; he couldn’t just stand there and let Selena die like that. As soon as Selena left Lance’s grip, Ichigo disappeared in a flash. As soon as Selena reached the peak distance of which she was thrown, Ichigo was suddenly there with her, with his back to the oncoming cero. Still holding Zangetsu in his right hand, Ichigo wrapped his left arm around Selena, drawing her close to his chest just as the cero was upon them.

This time, Ichigo did not have sufficient time to release his reiatsu once more. Even if he had, he would have risked harming Selena. So he took the cero full-on, with only his natural output of reiatsu to protect him, and that didn’t do much. He fell through the air after the impact with the cero, still holding onto Selena. The top half of his shihakusho was blown completely away by the cero, and he was now bleeding in multiple places on his body, and his eyes were shut tight in pain, but he wasn’t done yet.

[ OOC: Take your time, young knight. ]

Lance grinned as he saw Ichigo and Selena be engulfed by the Gran Ray. The entire city of Karakura town was darkened in comparison to the brilliance of this dark red ray of pure death and destruction. The beam passed Ichigo and Selena and continued through the sky, piercing a hole through all the holes and soon fading into the distant upper atmosphere, where it finally exploded like a huge red firework. Such powerful and vibrant was this explosion that humans all over the city saw the explosion, like it was some military test. Soon, the Sound reached the school, which was an extremely loud and Deep roar similar to thunder, followed by a great gust of wind from the shockwave released. All the clouds had parted, forming a sort of circular area in which the explosion had occured.

Lance was still grinning maliciously as he watched Ichigo floating in the sky, obviously damaged and smoking from that attack. Selena was otherwise, unharmed. Lance, surprisingly, clapped his hands. "Impressive, Ichigo. Impressive. Your courage and sense of justice is indeed a force to be reckoned with. But I'm afraid that it clouds your thoughts..." Lance said, his red eyes gleaming maliciously. He didn't care he was using underhanded tactics. Truth be told, Lance had never agreed to a fair fight. He had called Ichigo his prey and wanted amusement from the Prey. Lance was the ultimate predator and therefore, he was using tactics and cunning to wear a stronger opponent down. Ofcourse, a hunter could not tackle something head on that was twice his size. No, he needed to outsmart the Prey and use it's strengths as it's weaknesses. Ichigo's greatest strength was his iron-hard resolve and his trust in friends. And Lance would destroy both of those strengths and turn them into his greatest downfalls.

Lance's crimson eyes then shifted to the orange haired woman who had saved the school. He recognized her instantly. "Hello, Onna." He said scathingly, letting Orihime take a moment to see the resemblance. Although Lance was not related directly to Ulquiorra, his zanpakutou and Ulquiorra's zanpakutou were near twin brothers. Lance and Ulquiorra had a past, before Lance went into stasis. When he had come back, he studied up everything on his enemies, including the feelings his dear Ulquiorra had for the woman called Orihime. Lance raised his crimson zanpakutou and pointed it at Orihime, but showed no signs of attacking. "Do you recognize this blade? This blade, you can call, the brother of a certain blade called Murcielago." He said, his eyes narrowing as his smirk became more venomous.
"Do what you wish to protect the school and the city, but don't you dare interfere in our battle unless you have an early deathwish. I'd be greatly sorrowed if I had to kill someone precious to dear Schiffer." He said, his eyes positively glowing with amusement as he then turned his gaze back to Ichigo. The time he had spent talking to Orihime was purposefully intended to allow Ichigo time to lower Selena. If he hadn't, it was his problem to fight with both hands occupied.

Lance, seeing Ichigo, narrowed his eyes further. With a sound of static, he suddenly disappeared, appearing infront of Ichigo, instantly slashing at Ichigo twice, spinning 360 degrees for the two horizontal slashes. The first one was aimed at his head and the second one was aimed for Ichigo's abdomen, with a split second delay between the two slashes so Ichigo couldn't perfectly block both strikes and counter. Right after the slash at the abdomen, Lance took the oppurtunity of the aftereffects from the slash to aim a Bala-infused punch at Ichigo's face with his free left hand.

[OOC: I do not know whether Ichigo is going to put her down or not, so I assumed the more likely action and predicted that Ichigo would let her down. If that is not your plan, notify me and I'll edit.]

Selena's scream was cut short as Ichigo was there in a flash to grab onto her. She curled up into him, gripping him tighting with her hands as the world around them seemed to be disintegrated before their eyes. She kept her eyes shut tight and held onto Ichigo tightly as the Gran Ray passed them, noting how Ichigo was shaking from the Cero hitting him. As the Cero passed, she opened her eyes, her face suddenly filled with Fear and shock as she saw Ichigo's state.
"I...Ichi... Ichigo... What..." She muttered, not even understanding half of what's going on. She seemed like some random passerby with spiritual awareness who was seeing something like this for the first time. She seemed too shocked and traumatized to speak. Ofcourse, that was all just a play. But Ichigo didn't have to know that yet. She suddenly heaved, putting her hands to her mouth as if she was going to throw up. She was acting like she was horribly weakened and affected by so much reiatsu around her and it was a perfect act. The reiatsu did infact, affect her. Even as Lance's Fraccion, that was the first time she had experienced his Gran Ray cero. Although it did rattle her insides, she only had one thought in her head. Magnificent.

As Ichigo let her down onto the ground, she got off him and managed to take one stumbled step before falling to the ground, shivering horribly as she curled up on the ground, her turquoise hair spread around her, some drops of blood from Ichigo staining her uniform and her skin. So another woman had come? Hopefully, when Ichigo would be taken down by Lance, she'd blindside the orange haired woman.

Orihime Inoue

As soon as she saw Ichigo vanish into the light of the blast she sprinted towards where they were most likely to fall, moving as fast as her human legs would allow; sadly she wasn't able to make it in time before he fell to the ground with the girl in his arms."Ichigo!" Orihime called in a panted breath, she ignored Lance's words as she was too focused on the condition of her friend to take them to heart or even begin to comprehend what they meant. As soon as she made it to his side she noticed how badly he was wounded and gasped with wide eyes, fear that he might be mortally wounded tore through her being, despite seeing him so injured before. Tearing her eyes away she looked over their classmate and was relieved to see that at least she was without injury.

"Ichigo, are you alright?" She asked with worry lacing her tone, it sounded like a stupid question given his physical appearance but she couldn't help but ask; she needed verbal confirmation that he was alright to keep her sane. However as soon as the words left her mouth she noticed Lance going in for an attack and immediately set up Shiten Kōshun around Ichigo to protect him from the lightning fast assault, the triangular shield differed from the one she used to save the school from the cero in that it had Tsubaki in the center; as soon as Lance's attack, or attacks, made contact with the shield it would disperse the force and create a concentrated explosion as a counter to the attack. She knew that given the power of the Espada that it wouldn't be enough to do much, if any, damage but she still tried anyway.

Ichigo Kurosaki

After Ichigo landed on the ground, he released Selena so that she could get away. After she got off of him, he slowly managed to get to his feet, scattering drops of blood in the process. “I’m… fine,” Ichigo said in response to Orihime, although his voice was somewhat strained when he spoke. He looked over to Selena and saw that she didn’t manage to get far and had fallen to the ground. Figuring that she had been badly affected by the close proximity of the Gran Rey, Ichigo stepped in front of her and Orihime, in case Lance were to attack either of them again.

Not entirely aware of the conversation that had transpired between Lance and Orihime, Ichigo wondered what he should do. With Orihime and Selena there, he was at a major disadvantage. It was much harder to fight when one had to focus one keeping others safe. It did, without a doubt make him perform better when there was someone nearby whom he needed to protect, but from a practical standpoint, it was the worst type of scenario. He could not fight properly while also trying to protect two people at once. If he could only get the two girls to safety, go up into the sky, and use Bankai, Ichigo knew he could win this fight without too much trouble, but it did not seem like Lance had any plans of honouring his previous request. Of course, he could always just fly up into the sky in the hopes that Lance would follow, but then he would be leaving Orihime and Selena to fend for themselves. He couldn’t do that, since it was more than likely that the arrancar would take that chance to kill them, or take one hostage again.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted when Lance disappeared. He could tell from the static sound that it was sonido, not that it made much of a difference. He had not been paying attention at the time, and didn’t know what to expect. He attempted to quickly raise his blade in response to Lance appearing directly in front of him, but stopped dead as he was suddenly looking at the arrancar through a glowing orange barrier. He was confused for a split second, but quickly recognized it as Orihime’s shield, once again.

After the shield exploded on Lance, Ichigo looked back at Orihime over his shoulder. “I need you to take Selena and get out of here,” he said, desperately hoping that she would listen to him and do just that. He didn’t want her getting involved in this fight. Although she had grown a lot stronger, there was not much she could do against an opponent of his caliber. She would only get hurt, or worse, if she stayed. Ichigo planned to keep Lance off them while they escaped. And then when they were a safe distance away, he would lead Lance away from the populated area of Karakura and fight him for real.

With that being said, Ichigo turned back to Lance, waiting to see if the arrancar would try and stop the two girls from leaving, if they did.

-----------------------------------

[OOC: Although Lance's post is above Selena's, Selena's post should be read first in this one.]

Lance quickly crossed his arms infront of him to take the blow-back of the explosion, being sent sliding-back a few feet. The explosion, which annoyed him more than hurt him, made him make an annoyed "Tch," sound. But as Selena made her move, Lance smirked. His smirk turned to a grin and then to a maniacal laughter. His laugh suddenly stopped to be replaced by an expression of pure evil, most likely at the look of shock on Ichigo's face.

"What now, Ichigo? The friends you fight for... Even they betray you for someone with power." He said, his expression one of utmost evil and triumph. He had already crushed a major portion of Ichigo's spirit. As Selena notified him, he nodded and said, "Good work, Sona. Report back to Las Noches and await my arrival." He said, smirking as he then said to Ichigo, "Yes Ichigo, this was all a plan. I planted her here a month ago just so she could gain your trust. Today, the entire day had gone as planned. The arrival of you. The death of 30 in the class. The involvement of the so-called innocent friend. And the arrival of the Onna." He said, looking proud and victorious with that smirk and narrowed eyes, his blood-red eyes almost glowing.

"Now it is time I took you back with me. Consider this, Kurosaki. If you come with me, you'd be able to keep an eye on Orihime. Or otherwise, our dear leader who sooo loves attractive men and women would probably claim Orihime's innocence for herself." He said, smirking with malice. However, with that said, Lance instantly sonido'd to Ichigo. Two Sonido sounds followed the first one, a 3rd of a second apart, as two Lances appeared. One infront and one behind. Both of them were coming in for a strike. The one in front was coming in for a Knee-kick to Ichigo's stomach with enough force to probably cause his breakfast to be ejected. The one from the back was coming in with a side-swipe kick that was strong enough to send Ichigo flying to the right (Kick was coming in from the left). If Ichigo was good at seeing movements or just smart, he'd know that one of the Lance's were real and the otherone was not. Lance, who was smart as well, calculated that 80% of people in this situation would think that the one coming from behind was real. So Lance actually Sonido'd behind Ichigo then forward so the one coming from behind was actually his afterimage. The real one was in front. Lets see if Ichigo could be up to his skills with deep wounds both on his flesh and in his heart from the betrayal.

[OOC: Yeah, so since Kizo and Mug both PM'd me to say that Orihime would not die and Kizo DID say to tranquilize Orihime, I'll do something of that nature as an authorized autohit. I'll edit if necessary.]

Selena, who had previously fallen, slowly managed to get up to her feet. This woman was being a pain in the ass. She had to be eliminated. She was a strong Human... A perfect trophy for Selena herself. She slowly managed to stumble over to Orihime, almost falling onto Orihime as she held onto her for support. She then turned her weak face to Ichigo. "Ichigo... I don't.. I don't know whats going on... But... I just want you to go out there and fight." She said, giving him a weak smile before she fell down to her knees, still holding onto Orihime. "Also... I'm... I'm sorry...." She added, trailing off. Suddenly, a bang issued. The same bang that occurs when Ichigo leaves his body. Within a second, Selena had fallen over and a new female was standing behind Orihime. With a precise and lightning fast strike, she struck the back of Orihime's neck with a Karate-chop that would knock her right outcold. This new figure was actually Selena Sonorous! What's more, she was wearing Arrancar robes. She was standing there next to Orihime as well as lying on the ground... Betrayal.... It did indeed, taste bitter.

As soon as Orihime was knocked outcold, Selena instantly grabbed her, bridal-style, and used Sonido to get away from there. She reappeared right next to Lance, as she bowed her head. "Lord Lance, I have retrieved the woman."

Hearing Lance's next order, Selena bowed as well as she could with Orihime in her arms and turned around, opening a Garganta. As she stepped inside, she turned around to take one look at Ichigo. What was this feeling inside of her? It felt... It felt heavy. She didn't like the feeling. It made her want to run and beg for Ichigo's forgiveness... But Lance was her master. With all these confused thoughts in her head, she had a regretful and sad expression on her face as she stared at Ichigo until the garganta closed.

[EXIT with Orihime]

Ichigo Kurosaki

Hearing footsteps, Ichigo tore his gaze away Lance to look back at Orihime and Selena. Seeing how physically weak Selena seemed to be made Ichigo wonder if she was really going to be all right. Maybe the cero had affected her more than he had thought. If I had been able to get to her sooner…, he thought, with a flicker of anguish, before his attention went back to Selena as she began to speak. He had been about to tell her that everything would be all right, until he heard her say that she was sorry. Sorry for what? he had been about to voice this question, until he heard a familiar sound; the sound of a shinigami – or in this case, an arrancar – leaving a gigai. For a moment, Ichigo was unable to comprehend what was going on. Selena was a normal human, wasn’t she? It wasn’t until Orihime fell to the ground, unconscious, that he realized that the new Selena standing behind her was dressed in white clothes, symbolic of the Espada.

Orihime! Before Ichigo could do anything at all, Selena was already standing beside Lance. “What are you…,” Ichigo trailed off as Selena stepped inside of the garganta. She did not look malevolent or triumphant at her success. She actually looked regretful. Ichigo did not take much notice of this, however. Right now, he was too shocked to think straight. This whole time… was Selena only acting, so that she could do this when the time was right? The answer was obvious, but at the moment, Ichigo could not make sense of the sudden onslaught of events. One thing he did know was that he had betrayed, easily. And because of that, Orihime was now in the hands of the Espada. Once again, he had failed to protect his friends.

He had not heard the first part of Lance’s little speech. It wasn’t that Ichigo had been ignoring him, more like he had been oblivious; the other arrancar was just a voice in the background. Although after Selena left with Orihime, Ichigo tuned back into what Lance was saying. It all confirmed Ichigo’s suspicions; although that was the last thing he wanted. The whole time, Ichigo simply stared at the ground, clenching his fists. That was until he heard the last part, involving Orihime and the Espada’s leader, whoever that was. At that, he slowly raised his head to look right at Lance. In stark contrast to his earlier expression, Ichigo now looked furious.

Before anything more could be said, Ichigo saw Lance disappear. Lucky for him, if Lance had not said that when he did, Ichigo would have probably never had a chance to dodge or counter his attack. Although he was angry, hurt, and confused, the heat of that single moment seemed to heighten Ichigo’s perception in battle. Upon hearing multiple static sounds that usually denounced the use of sonido, he figured that Lance was either coming in for multiple attacks, or he was coming in for one attack, and one of them was a fake. Either way, he had only one thought in mind; to kill Lance. Even if he couldn’t do that much, he needed to get to Hueco Mundo, and fast. He had to get Orihime out of there before anything happened to her. He had a feeling that Lance had not been lying when he had told Ichigo about their leader...

As soon as he felt the arrancar’s presence behind and in front of him, Ichigo blurred into motion, jerking his right wrist up and swinging Zangetsu around himself in a wide horizontal arc. If Lance did not fall back immediately, he was likely to lose the foot he was kicking with. There was a good amount of reiryoku infused into the edge of Zangetsu as well, which would add a sort of explosive impact effect, should Ichigo actually hit something with this wild swing.

However, this moment of heightened perception did not last long for Ichigo. Whether Lance was hit by his previous slash or not, Ichigo would charge him immediately after, swinging horizontally for the arrancar’s right side. Even though he was injured, Ichigo’s swings were as powerful as ever, fueled by his rage. Although this did not mean much, as they were also wild and inaccurate, leaving huge openings at times. “Give Orihime back!” he shouted as he was about to swing at Lance again, not caring that the demand was now impossible, as she was most likely already in Las Noches.

The Harbinger of Chaos

Spoiler:

-----------------------------------

As soon as Ichigo broke out of his trance, Lance knew that the attack would be a flop. He instantly brought his Zanpakutou out and stuck it into the ground, grounding himself there. He instantly braced for impact as a split second later, Zangetsu clashed with his blade. Grounding was a good move on Lance's part, as it allowed him to effectively block the hit without relying only on his brute strength. The explosion, however, was an unseen card on the table. Lance was blown back, flipping once in the air to regain a good posture for landing.

Lance landed on the ground, giving a short snort of amusement as Ichigo charged him. He wasn't badly injured from the explosion, except for some dirt on his arms and face and some bruises. His zanpakutou was smoking, as it took most of the hit, and the ground where he had defended the hit was cracked and smoking as well. His crimson eyes shifted to Ichigo as he studied him. The time it took for Ichigo was enough time for Lance to completely calculate all the possibilities and counters for this maneuver. He studied all of the angles of approach on Ichigo, the muscles on his body moving in response to the attack he was making and Lance deduced that this was a very powerful but reckless move. As soon as his eyes registered the move coming in from the right, Lance's left hand suddenly glowed with the power of a Bala. He instantly crouched down, the blade sweeping over him as a great slash, narrowly missing his trailing hair as he smirked.

[Assumption; Ichigo slashed at Lance with both hands, meaning that if the blade missed, the momentum would take both of his arms towards the right, exposing the elbow of the left arm and the opposite-part-of-the-elbow on the right arm.]

"Too Slow, Ichigo!" He shouted, his crimson eyes suddenly flashing as his Bala-infused hand glowed brighter. He instantly lunged at Ichigo while Ichigo was dealing with the momentum of the missed blade, giving a big-opening to Lance. Lance made use of this opening by aiming a haymaker with the added power of a Bala at Ichigo's exposed right arm, directly at the elbow joint's opposite area. A hit here would completely jar the tendon and nerves on Ichigo's right arm, probably causing it to completely seize up and become numb and limp. That would, in turn, take away Ichigo's sword arm and lower his threat level immensely. Lance immediately backed up, whether the punch hit or not, sliding on the ground as his feet made contact. He immediately got into a stance.
"You know as well as I do, Ichigo Kurosaki. You cannot use your Bankai here, as it would destroy a good part of the surrounding. And if you've recognized my spiritual pressure's personality, you will know that if I go into Ressurreccion, all the humans within a mile of this area will be instantly vapourized by the sheer power. So what are you going to do, Kurosaki? Will you surrender so you can come to Las Noches and be conscious enough to take care of your friend? Or will you fall in battle here and be unceremoniously dumped in the dungeons of Las Noches, so all your pretty little friends can see how you have fallen." Lance said scathingly, like a venemous snake inflicting poison on it's foes. His pupils were narrowed into slits and his face was lively. He was a bit tired, though, from all the energy usage and the explosion had made him a bit stiff. But he had not taken any heavy hits yet, so currently, he was winning by a long shot.

Ichigo Kurosaki

When he had swung at Lance the second time, Ichigo had not been thinking straight. Not once throughout this entire battle had Ichigo stopped to consider the repercussions of his reckless actions; although this was not much different from how he usually was in these types of situations. After everything that had happened in the last few minutes, it was much worse. Ichigo was so angry, and now, desperate to stop Lance, that he could barely think straight. If he could only calm down and think things through, everything would go much smoother; he could have probably beaten the arrancar and come out with only moderate injuries. But that was not going to happen now.

Ichigo felt Zangetsu clash with Lance’s blade before he heard or saw it happen. That alone illustrated His state of mind. The clash did not last long, as Lance was blown back by the small reiryoku explosion from Zangetsu’s edge. As soon as the arrancar landed, Ichigo had charged him, sending a mighty horizontal slash towards his torso. Once again, he failed to connect, as Lance ducked right under Ichigo’s blade. He just barely had time to register the fact that Lance was lunging towards him before he felt something – Lance’s fist – hit his right arm. A searing pain shot up his arm, and then the numbness ensued. Ichigo resisted the urge to cry out in pain as Zangetsu clattered to the ground with a heavy clanging sound.

As Lance talked, Ichigo recovered somewhat, although his right arm now hung limp and useless by his side. Even in his current state, he could not deny the truth in Lance’s words. Right about now, the situation seemed hopeless. But he could not give up; nothing would come of that. Ichigo did not know why the Espada wanted him, but right now that didn’t matter. What did matter, was stopping Lance, and then going to get Orihime back from Las Noches. Moments later, Ichigo knelt down to pick Zangetsu back up off of the ground, with his left hand. “I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do… I’m going to beat your ass, right here and now. Then, I’m going to get Orihime back,” Ichigo said resolutely, slowly raising Zangetsu, with the tip pointing towards Lance.

Although his words seemed to be filled with confidence, it did not look like the battle was going to go in Ichigo’s favour. Wielding Zangetsu with his left hand was going to be extremely awkward, especially since he could not even use his right arm. The earlier advantage that he had had in strength was now void, and he wasn’t in too good of shape himself, after being hit directly by a Gran Rey Cero, among other things. But none of that mattered to Ichigo right now. He needed to win. And if he somehow was taken to Las Noches, that would make it all the more easier to save Orihime, and tear the place up while he was at it.

With that thought in mind, Ichigo poured his own reiryoku into Zangetsu, projecting it through the blade. The large cleaver-like weapon glowed with a blue-white radiance that was known as Getsuga Tensho. The attack itself had massive destructive capabilities, but he didn’t intend to unleash it while so close to the school. He flash stepped, blurring out of sight for a moment, before he reappeared next to Lance, to the left of the arrancar. At that point, the large blade was already bearing down on Lance, still glowing with power. However, the swing itself was not as powerful as the previous ones had been. It was also slightly slower. This was all due to Ichigo having to use his left hand instead of his right, which was what he was most used to.

Lance smirked, his eyes narrowing as he waved his sword a bit as a gesture and said, "Then Fall in battle and have me dump you like beaten, bloody trash on the Onna." He said, as he brought his sword up, towards his face, his right arm bending for the movement, before he swished it down again. When he swished it down, he poured his own spiritual energy into the blade. Although he didn't have any moves like Getsuga Tenshou, pouring one's reiryoku into the zanpakutou still made it much stronger and sharper, as well as much more resistant to hits. With his blade now emanating a cloud of black reiatsu that seemed to hang around it, he used Sonido at the same time as Ichigo. Both of them, aiming for each other, met at an equal distance from where they were both standing. While Ichigo was coming in with an almighty overhead slash, Lance was doing a back-handed slash with his blade in his right hand, aiming upwards at the incoming Zangetsu. The two blades clashed as Lance's black reiatsu collided with Ichigo's blue white, creating large sparks of energy which arced off the point of impact. The arcs blasted a few craters in the ground around them as they spread out, most of them fading off into the sky. Ichigo's strength was easily much more stronger than Lance's, although not by much. That was even further lessened by the fact that Ichigo was using his off hand and Lance was now using both hands to push against Ichigo's blade. Lance was not flustered nor straining from the close war they were having. His face was occupied by an arrogant grin, his eyes almost glowing like rubies as his snake-like pupils narrowed even further, if possible.

Realizing that Ichigo could use his Getsuga Tenshou right now to blow Lance off, Lance instantly freed his left hand from the handle, shifting it so that he supported the back of the blade with his left elbow. That momentary change made Lance lower a bit from the force Ichigo was using, the ground cracking under his feet. Once his elbow was in place, giving much more support than both hands on the handle, he pushed back with greater force to regain even - footing again. But the main advantage he recieved with this change in hand position was that his left hand was freed. He closed his hand quickly, causing his claw-like nails to dig into the palm. A moment later, both of them were lit up by a dark red aura as the area darkened around them, the ground trembling. Lance was pushing his limits, using another one of these so soon again, but he knew that this move would decide the battle. The Gran Ray Cero charged in between them, threatening to release as it's screeching sound filled the area, the Cero getting stronger and stronger. This one was much, much stronger than the last one, mainly because it was seeping some of the reiatsu from Ichigo's sword as well due to the close proximity. Not much, but enough to make it slightly stronger. Most of the power was coming in from Lance using almost all of his energy. This would be the finishing move.

"What now, Ichigo? Will you be the man this town needs you to be and take the hit head on? Or will you move away and let this beast in my palm destroy half the city?" He said, grinning maliciously as he twisted his wrist in such a way that the Cero was aiming for Ichigo's upper body. If it hit him, it would go upwards and miss the town completely, most likely exploding in the upper-atmosphere with Ichigo. Lance was actually panting with the exertion this Gran Ray Cero was causing him as his sword-clash against Ichigo was losing hold, Lance's feet sliding back inch by inch. Lance knew as much as Ichigo that if Ichigo released his Getsuga, Lance would most likely take a shit-ton of damage. But that would cause the Gran Ray to explode as well, which would do alot more damage to Ichigo and the town.

"Lets not prolong this." Lance said, as the Cero was now gaining enough power to begin sucking out the energy of the people around them. And Lance didn't want that. Yet.
"Good Night, Ichigo Kurosaki. Stay in one piece for me." He said, grinning like a maniac as he then let go of his hold on the Cero, causing it to fire, aimed at Ichigo. If Ichigo dodged, Lance would change the aim and aim it for the school. Ichigo also had the choice of blocking it with Zangetsu, but that would cause him to lose the blade-clash and would allow Lance to slash at Ichigo's chest before the Cero hit him. Oh the choices were endless.

Ichigo Kurosaki

Ichigo did not say anything in reply to Lance at first, only swinging down at the arrancar with all of the strength he could muster in his one good arm. As his own blade clashed with Lance’s, Ichigo stepped into his swing to try and get an edge on the arrancar. However, because he was using his off hand, it did not change much. He was still able to hold his own without much difficulty, though. He poured his strength into Zangetsu, desperately trying to overpower Lance. With the arrancar being able to use both of his hands, and Ichigo’s sword arm now useless, it just wasn’t going to happen. They were in a deadlock.

When Lance took his left hand from the handle of his zanpakutō, Ichigo thought for a split second that he was about to win the clash. At that point he tried to push down on the other blade even harder, but it was no use. He gritted his teeth in frustration. He could damage Lance if he released the Getsuga Tenshō that was currently swirling about Zangetsu’s blade. But if he did that, he had a fair chance of greatly damaging the surrounding area, and possibly getting other people caught up in the destruction. Ichigo had to wonder at why Lance had taken his hand from the hilt of his blade though… he got his answer when the dark red aura from another Gran Rey cero made itself known. Ichigo was surprised that the arrancar could even use another one, so soon after the previous. Although how Lance could do it really wasn’t the issue there.

“You bastard!” Ichigo growled when he realized what Lance was planning to do. He stared with apprehension at the cero as it formed, already knowing that this one was a lot stronger than the last one he had been hit with. He wondered if there was any way he could stop it. He could release the Getsuga to try and counteract it, but again, he was drastically limited by his surroundings. He couldn’t risk busting the place up while there were so many people around, unconscious ones at that. He could see that the cero was draining Lance considerably; he was slowly beginning to be pushed back. Even so, Ichigo would not be able to overwhelm him before he released the cero. He knew that. There simply wasn’t any time to try and think over each way he could go about stopping the cero, and he wasn’t going to move out of the way, either.

It’s just a cero. I can take this. Ichigo thought, before he instinctively swung Zangetsu towards the cero, and Lance’s hand, just as Lance released it. He felt something slash across his chest, and stumbled backwards just as the cero hit him. In the split second before it hit, Ichigo had once again began to emit reiryoku. He had opted to release all of his reiatsu as a means of defense. Although it would not do a whole lot, it would make sure that Ichigo did not die from this attack. The reiatsu of Lance’s cero quickly won out against the minor amount of reiatsu that Ichigo defended himself with, as he flew up into the sky with said cero. When the cero has shot as high as it could, Ichigo, in his barely-conscious, vaguely noted that he could see the entire town from where he was up in the sky. Then the cero exploded. Blood flew from his mouth as Ichigo was blown back further by the sheer force of it. By some fluke, he managed to keep a hold of Zangetsu’s hilt, even as he began falling back down to the earth. No matter how hard he fought to stay awake, Ichigo’s vision kept getting dimmer and dimmer, and he could barely move. He wouldn’t be able to stop himself from hitting the ground, whenever he managed to reach it.

OOC: Is it odd that I now have Firework by Katy Perry stuck in my head? .-. Oh, and don't mind the weird template I'm using. Just me experimenting with CSS and failing epicly. xD

-----------------------------------

[Assumption: The battle has ended.]

A splatter of blood, the Cero strengthening a bit in the last few milliseconds before firing due to the blood, and an explosion of pure crimson and dark red. Lance turned his face up, oblivious to the pain as he watched Ichigo go high up into the air like a comet. He grinned as he witnessed the great explosion, the red filling the sky up as the sound and shockwave came atleast 20 seconds later, by which time Ichigo was already descending, further away from where Lance was. Lance now seemed to register something as he looked down to look at his left hand, or atleast what was left of it. A bloody stump at the wrist, blood still streaming out as his left hand, chalk white, twitched on the ground. He didn't seemed surprised nor hurt. His expression slowly changed to annoyed as he made a "Tch." noise.

A second later, where there had been a bloody stump, the skeleton structure of a hand, complete with finger bones and countless wrist bones, erupted out with a sickeningly bloody sound. Flesh formed around it at an extremely high rate and within seconds, Lance had a brand new hand to replace the one he lost. He decided not to leave any evidence if the soul Society came poking about, and so, using what remaining reiatsu he had, he fired a weak bala that was strong enough to obliterate the hand on the ground. With that, he began walking over to where Ichigo had landed by this time, turning into a wolf as he began to travel by jumping rooftops...

Once he landed soundlessly on the road, some distance away from Karakura Highschool, his wolf form flaring with black reiatsu (although not as much as before), he was greeted with the sight of Selena healing Ichigo with her Ressurreccion. "Selena... What might you be doing?" He asked, his wolf form smoking around him. One thing he liked about his fraccion, she was always honest to him. As her reason seemed valid enough and to Lance's liking, he nodded, saying, "Alright, since you are here, you'll carry him to Las Noches." Lance said, opening a Garganta as he turned back into his humane form, walking into the abyssmal gate and disappearing in the darkness.

Selena Sonorous
Fraccion to the Primera
Student at Karakura Highschool

As soon as Selena stepped out of the Garganta she had opened, she looked up to see the brilliant explosion. Her eyes widened with awe and then her face turned stony as she saw a familiar form flying away from it, leaving a smoky and bloody trail.... Ichigo.

She had done the right thing by coming in a bit farther from where the Highschool was. This allowed her to travel to the spot where she predicted Ichigo would land faster. She rapidly used sonido, not even knowing why she was doing this. Perhaps this would ease the remorse and guilt trip she was feeling over the betrayal.
Once she had reached a good position, she kicked off of the ground, timing it well as she caught Ichigo in mid-fall, the force of his flight knocking the wind out of her, as well as knocking her backwards. She landed hard on the gravelly road, sliding for atleast 20 ft before they came to a stop, Selena holding Ichigo in her arms awkwardly since the orange-haired male was larger than her. She let him half-lie on the ground, with his top half on her lap as she checked his pulse. He was alive, which was good. Lance would want his trophy alive. But for some reason, she felt more relief than she should've been feeling for Ichigo being alive. Gingerly, she touched one of his larger wounds, curious with the thick blood that coated her fingers after she touched him. She then gently let him down onto the road, standing up and drawing her zanpakutou.
"Make a Masterpiece, Vibrato." She spoke, releasing her zanpakutou as weakly as she could. Only a light breeze of wind was issued from her as she changed into her ressurreccion form. She floated up a few inches off the ground infront of Ichigo as she said in a voice that seemed to be echoing melodiously, "Symphony Terza."

Her wings shivvered slightly as glowing white reiatsu suddenly appeared over Ichigo, covering his larger wounds and stopping them from bleeding completely. She sighed, closing her eyes and relaxing as she let her ressurreccion fade away back into her zanpakutou. As Lance appeared, she stiffed, answering his question boldly, "I was preventing him from bleeding out to death, Lord. He is to be brought in alive, correct?"

With Lance's approval, she let out a small breath of relief, taking Ichigo back into her arms. She decided to ignore his words if he did speak. She followed Lance into the garganta, disappearing with Ichigo into the black oblivion leading into Las Noches.
