"Sorry, I didn't catch a good look of them," Nel replied. She wished that she had, now that she had a chance to look back on it. Then again, she was fighting for her life at the time.

Tatsuki was grinning, glad that two of her friends, as well as herself, were having a good time. She knew that they all had their personal pains and problems, but glad that that they could all forget them for the moment.

" It's alright. The reason I am here is ask what is going on. Yesterday a large number of hollows broke through to the Human World.They were defeated , but why they attacked the individuals who fought them I don't know.

Tetsu kept watch, keeping his senses open. He thought he sensed something nearby that didn't feel like a Shinigami, wondering if it was the Arrancar.

The Arrancar watched the two Shinigami and growled lightly to himself. He was annoyed that one of that traitor's arrows was able to hit him and hit him hard. He still got through the portal they created beforehand, but he was using orphans that had spirit energy to replenish and help heal him.

Tetsu moved a bit closer to where the Arrancar was , masking his spirtual pressure. He knew that Captain Hitsugaya would signal when to confront the Arrancar.

Toushiro watched Tetsu get into position as well, as he slowly got into position as well before placing his hand on his zanpakuto, both the dragon and the wielder were ready to go into battle. Drawing it quickly in the practiced form of Iaido, Hyourinmaru's icy winds flew towards the Arrancar, the signal for Tetsu to also attack. He was just glad that before the battle started that they had evacuated everyone from the area.

Tetsu charged from behind the Arrancar , having unsealed his shikai. He knew a battle like this could end quickly , or take hours to finish. He just hoped they could get some information.

The Arrancar ducked under the frozen dragon that came from the Captain's slash, but didn't sense the second captain until his sword bit into his flesh. Roaring in pain, he turned and tried swatting the Captain, but he jumped out of the way.

Tetsu was glad he had moved out of the way just in time. He got ready for the Arrancar to fight back , knowing the Arrancar would have a difficult time fighting two Captain level Shinigami at once.

The Arrancar focused on the one who jumped back and quickly moved towards him, ready to punch him. However, he forgot about the other Shinigami and almost had his arm frozen if it wasn't for the fact that he stopped at the last second feeling something was off. Annoyed, he gathered crimson energy into the palm of his hands. "Be gone annoyances" he said in a booming voice as his two Ceros split into ten separate beams of energy, each set of five going towards both shinigami.

Toushiro jumped out of the way of the energy attacks, moving closer towards the Arrancar as he dodged the Cero.

Tetsu also moved out of the way of the cero and headed toward the Arrancar , making sure he kept his focus on the target.

Hoshi looked at the clock seeing it was getting late. " Thank you guys for being here. " Hoshi said, glad that she was able to relax a little.

"Don't mention it Star-chan," Ichigo said as he noticed the time as well. "although I think I should be heading home soon," Ichigo said, knowing that Yuzu would start to worry about him.

Toushiro was about to slash the Arrancar's arm at the shoulder, but didn't expect the bone armor to come through it and blocked the attack.

" See you tomorrow. "Hoshi said. She knew she would be fine alone till her dad got home, but got the feeling it would be a while before she saw him again.


Tetsu dodged another kick and slashed the Arrancar's leg , not wanting to give up yet.

The Arrancar yelled in pain when his leg was cut, feeling the blood coming from the cut. Before he could move any farther, he sensed the other shinigami coming from behind him and and bent backwards, causing the Shinigami with white hair to fly over him. He was glad that didn't connect because if it did then that would have hurt...

He had wanted to save his Zanpakuto for a different encounter, but knew now that he had no choice but to draw and use it.

Tetsu saw the Arrancar draw out it's Zanpaktou and got ready to use full power. He had a feeling from the beginning that this might happen.

Toushiro saw the Arrancar draw his Zanpakuto and knew that this battle was about to get harder.

Tetsu blocked the strikes as best as he could. He couldn't tell how strong the Arrancar was to him , and hoped the Arrancar wouldn't use his release form. Tetsu remembered how difficult it was for him to defeat one of the released Arrancar , during the Winter War, hoping this battle wouldn't be as difficult.

Toushiro moved to back up Tetsu, knowing how annoying and difficult an Arrancar could be if it released its Zanpakuto.

Tetsu continued to help fight the Arrancar full power, not wanting to have to release his bankai. He would only do so unless there was no other option.

The Arrancar blocked both blades with his Zanpakuto, getting annoyed at the two.

Tetsu blocked a kick and swung harder at the Arrancar, hoping to tire the Arrancar out. It was a tactic he had used often in the past and usually worked.

The Arrancar knew he was starting to get tired since he was never one for extended combat. He thought about releasing his blade, but had a feeling that these shinigami would be able to counter that just as easily as they were doing his blade.

Tetsu was glad to see what they were doing was working. He knew all they needed to do was to tire the Arrancar enough to slip up and say why he was in Soul Society in the first place. Whatever the reason , Tetsu knew it wouldn't be good.

The Arrancar growled before using a pulse of energy to blow both of the Shinigami back. Quickly thinking, he used another of his Cero's to distract them even more as he thought of a plan to defeat them.

Tetsu fell back and hit a building , and barely missed being hit by a cero. He knew there had to be a way to defeat the Arrancar, hoping he and Captain Hitsugaya could think quickly of something.

Toushiro hit a building from the pulse of Reiatsu before raising Hyourinmaru to block the Cero blasts. If only they knew what he was trying to do, or if he was just another grunt for someone higher up on the food chain...that thought chilled Toushiro for a few seconds.
