"Hmp...there seems to be two high power levels separated from the group. So, I'll just head towards one of those"
-Zeik began walking expecting to run into someone soon enough- |

| _As Zeik would begin to walk around the Seireitei Nemu Kurotsuchi along with 15 other 12th division members would turn the corner and meet face to face with him. 12th division had already been put on alert by their captain due to his over seeing the battles that had happened on vescrutia. Nemu would then look at a paper in her hand and would then point toward Ziek as the other 12th division members would draw their Zanpakutō._
"Quickly capture that man but don't kill him Captain Kurotsuchi has plans for him."
_The 12th division members would would then charge toward Zeik with their Zanpakutō's trying to slash and stab Zeik so they would be able to carry Zeik without any resistance._ | |

| -Zeik stood motionless as the men made there way towards Zeik. he heaved a heavy sigh before placing his hand on his Zanpaktou "Conviction" and flaring his spiritual pressure up. This display was twice that of his previous one as such most of the men if not all of the 12 division shinigami would literally be obliterated. Zeik's pressure had the ability to literally burn his victims the greater the pressure the faster the roosting, this one would burn them to a crisp in a matter of mili-seconds-
"...Move aside"

| -As the 12 division shinigami minus Nemu who kept he distance, would be burnt to a crisp a voice would begin to echo though the area. However while this voice could be heard the person speaking could not be seen or even sensed by their spiritual pressure.-
"Worthless sacks of meat, you could not even leave your corpses in good enough condition for me to look over energy deposits."
-From a wall on the opposite end of where Nemu was facing Zeik a figure would move off of the wall as flakes that where the same color as the was would fall of and disappear. After all of the flacks where gone standing behind Zeik would be 12th division captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Kurotsuchi would look at Zeik and the other boy who Kurotsuchi had never seen before but seemed to have interesting abilities which Kurotsuchi wanted to poke at. However Kurotsuchi would raise his hand and point it toward Zeik who should have already turned in his direction.-
"So must we really fight or will you come along peacefully so I do not have to worry about damaging you body."

| -Kurotsuchi would quickly take note of the strange vectors that where created by to man next to Zeik. While Kurotsuchi did want to capture Zeik for study the person next to him seemed to show a little more promise in unique abilities. So Kurotsuchi would motion for Nemu to come to his side which she did in a second giving a path for Zeik to go to as Kurotsuchi would begin hes collection of this young man and female companion. Although Kurotsuchi seemed a little annoyed since he had to see how this boys powers worked meaning he would have to wait before he could used "that" but he could still use the other "that" if he wanted to. Although that was for later for now Kurotsuchi would turn his finger toward Orca.-
"Well since you are in such a hurry I'll open you up first."
-As this was said with a very fast Flash Step Nemu would already appear in between the small distance between their walking. Nemu would then place her hands on the ground and pivot spinning her legs trying to hit both of them at the same time with a powerful kick which could crush their bones to dust of the connected. Although as soon as Nemu appeared between Orca and Lucy Kurotsuchi himself would be seen with his hand glowing with a large amount of spiritual energy and his zanpakutou in hand.-
"Hadō 32 Ōkasen (Yellow Fire Flash)!!!"
-Suddenly a wide arc of yellow energy would explode from his blade toward Orca, Lucy, and even Nemu who was simply a distraction so it would be much harder to avoid the blast from Kurotsuchi. Also even though the incantation was not said this energy arc had a deadly amount of power being from a captain class shinigami.- | |

| -A smirk came across Orca's as face as the fight was about to begin. The women who appeared between Orca and lucy had committed the most dumbest of crimes all in one motion. One she was about to touch orca, two she was near Orca and three she assumed her speed meant much of anything for Orca.
-The hairs on Orca body were hyper sensitive on the area around him. The slightest shift in the wind could tell orca all the information he needed about something moving towards him, that combined with his reflexes made it all possible to avoid or counter any attack he desired.-
-Orca allowed the girls kick to make full contact with his back, it caused him to bend completely over trapping her leg between his body weight and his rib cage, meanwhile her partner was preparing to fire some beam of doom, in which lucy would jump back form and place her vectors in front of her. preventing her from taking damage but leaving orca wide open-
lucy:Orca...you are disgusting |

"Now, where is nagase?"

| -With Nemu simply being engulfed by the blast along with Orca since he did not avoid it, Mayuri would disappear and would appear behind Lucy right when she was moving back from his first blast. Mayuri would begin to release a large amount of his spiritual pressure to weight down both Lucy and Orca if he was still alive from the blast. A large energy barrier in the form of a rectangular wall which was Bakudō 81 Danku (Splitting Void) would also appear behind her to keep the blast from continuing toward Mayuri but also cause the blast to be pushed back into Orca doubling the damage the blast would cause to him. Ask for Lucy Mayuri would swing his sword down at unimaginably fast speeds. A just as fast as the swing Mayuri's Zanpakutō would transform into shikai turning into a deformed trident with curved, serpentine blades, the middle blade is straighter and longer than the side blades and appear to ascend from the guard which is shaped like a baby's head with hands clasped in prayer. The blade would move even faster trying to cut right though Lucy who was still shooting back in the direction of Mayuri due to the vectors she made which Mayuri had noticed cause a person to move in the direction these vectors point.- | |

| Lucy: Lucy wasn't a frail little girl. Before Mayuri could even utter the incantation of the splitting void, one of her vectors would have punched him in the guts while the other covered his mouth. She ddint know this would stop the activation of the spell, she simply didnt wish to hear his annoying voice. As for his sword swing which she would of course avoid with simple ease. Lucy was now holding the man by the neck, naturally by the vector. She began tossing him into every wall she could smiling at the faces he made as his body was writhing in agony
Orca: -Orca was indeed hit by the shinigami's spell and suffered considerable wounds, but since he could regenerate and felt no pain, Orca simply stood up and began healing. while the chick on the ground wasn't in the same shape as he. "Yes..make him beg before you Lucy" |

| -As Mayuri was being thrown around the area under his captain haori he would pull out a strange trigger and would push the button. Back at the Shinigami Research Institute a large computer would begin to stream a large amount of data as a digital image of the soul society would appear with random points around the soul society lighting up. Suddenly from these random points strange looking machines would begin to beep and would then release a large aura of energy that would cover the whole seireitei. As the aura would reach the location where Mayuri was the vectors would seem to shake before they would completely disappear. Unknown to not just Orca but the all the residents of Vescrutia that after his trip to Vescrutia and capturing of a resident Mayuri was able to create a set of devices that nullifies chakra and magic leaving the Vescrutians to have to fight as completely shinigami without their other unique abilities. With the vectors no longer around Mayuri's neck swinging him around Mayuri would stand from a large crater he was in although he would seem to have little to no wounds on him. Sure he took a large amount of damage but constant body modification it would take quite a large amount force to really damage his body internally. Mayuri would then disappear and would appear next to Orca while he was healing and would swing his blade once but from the swing would release multiple swings moving in nano-seconds aiming toward his arms legs and chest. Nemu meanwhile would be on the ground unable to move due to taking the full force of the blast as well and could not heal like Orca.- | |

| *Meanwhile Zeik was miles from Orca by now when the devices activated. Zeik looked at the energy of the devices and realized they were emitting a certain pattern of energy. The same pattern he himself used to negate pyro waves*
"These waves are targeting Chakra...they are trying to forces us to fight on there terms I see. I'll deal with those first and foremost"
*Zeik then set off to destroy the towers. there were twelve in total and judging by the distance between them it would take him roughly 40mins give or take* |

| Lucy: Lucy's vectors indeed stopped working leaving her open. She took the first slash diagonally on her chest but jumped out the way of the others. She landed on the ground not to far from Orca. She struggled to lift her head as her wound was quite deep
Orca: Orca's eyes squinted as he watched the vectors stop working. He wasn't sure how but he knew it had something to do with those rising towers. Orca didnt have time to think about it now, so he simply used his sword and deflected the slashes like any shinobi would. Orca tried to light his ring but was unsuccessful. He also noticed that Lucy wasn't exerting chakra but the shinigami spiritual pressure was as strong as ever. "Hmp forcing me to play on your field I suppose" Orca's Zanpaktou entered the shikai state and with that he was ready for battle. |

| -Lucy was now in a bad situation because Mayuri's Zanpakutō in shikai worked like the venom of a spider bite when slashed by the blade the poison severs the brain signals controlling the neural impulses for movement in the limbs of the victim. Although the fact that Lucy's limbs where shutting down was not the real problem, the real problem was she was not slashed on the arm or the leg but across the chest meaning that the poison was not just attacking her brain signals controlling the neural impulses for movement in the limbs but also the neural impulses around her heart and lungs due to the deepness of the cut and location. So now it was only a matter of time before Lucy's heart and lungs would become fully paralysis and kill her. Meanwhile Mayuri would move back after grabbing the damaged body of Nemu and would appear a few yards away via Flash Step. Looking over Nemu he would sigh as he did not want to waste the time fixing her but did had some use for her. Mayuri would then quickly perform some odd and possibly very explicit things to Nemu and after a quick sexual shrike from her Nemu would be standing next to Mayuri back to normal but blushing. Mayuri would then snap his fingers and Nemu would disappear and would appear high about Orca and would use Hado 4 Byakurai (Pale Lightning) releasing a concentrated, powerful lightning bolt from her finger toward the back of Orca's head. Although as the lighting bolt moved toward Orca, Mayuri would pull another trigger from his captain haori and would push it. The ground under Orca would then glow before releasing a large powerful explosion which would create a blast that could be seen though the soul society. Nemu did not just bluntly appear behind Orca when the battle first started thinking she could take him and his partner on alone, Mayuri would not make a daughter that dumb. While being engulfed by the blast Mayuri fired at her, Orca, and Lucy at the very start of the battle Nemu had placed on of Mayuri's special land mines that Mayuri had been working on to deal with these Vescrutians.- | |

| -Since the explosion and the pale lightning were fired in all bu t the same frame it was needless to say that the explosion canceled out the pale lighting forcing nemu away from Orca, although Orca was still in the center fold of the explosion-
Lucy:...Orca..I...
-Lucy's lungs were beginning to stop as the poison was indeed setting in and Orca was still no where to been seen amidst the smoke-
Orca: "Now im angry" A voice came from the smoke and seconds later it would clear revealing Millions Of Orca's reapers bugs. His body was badly bruised but since he couldnt feel pain this wasnt going to hinder him at all. His reaper bugs acted as a shield to block out most of the explosion and at the same time gave Orca an army of insects to work with. "Let me tell you hat I'm going to do." I'm going to first tear you to bits, then I'm going to kill the bitch over there who tried to blow my head off and then...I'll let my insects devour every little pieces of you and EVERYONE you hold dear.
-Orca's Zanpaktou pulsed once with a white energy right after it Orca lunged at Mayuri. Using his speed and reflexes to not only close the gap faster then he could run, but assault him in a fashion living no opening for his little flash step escapes. The Millions of Reaper bugs would split into two groups one for nemu and the other for Mayuri. trying to devour his body. Which they can do in a matter of seconds in given the chance |

| -Sadly Nemu did not have the speed, power, or ability to avoid these bugs and she would be completely engulfed and devoured. Oh well there where many more where she came from and her sacrifice would come in handy later. Ask for Mayuri as the bugs moved toward him there would be a flash of energy and Mayuri would be surrounded by a small inverted pyramid-shaped barrier which would be a mini version of Bakudō 73 Tozanshō (Inverse Mountain Crystal). While being a mini version of the spell the power level of it was actually very much stronger then the normal Bakudō 73 Tozanshō (Inverse Mountain Crystal) because all the the energy that was supposed to be expanded in size was greatly compressed making the barrier 10 times stronger then normal. Mayuri is one of the most proficient Kidō users in Soul Society so he could not only use a large amount of spells but could also alter them to his needs. Although Mayuri could tell these bugs would quickly break though the barrier so he would quickly raise his hand and a large black ball would form in his hand.-
"Hado #90 Kurohitsugi (Black Coffin)"
-These words would be said so fast they could not be heard or understood by many. Suddenly a powerful torrent of gravity would appear and would try to envelop around Orca and his bugs in the form of a box of black energy, covered in several spear-like protrusions. If caught Orca would face thousands and more thousands of spears that would pierce the box, lacerating Orca from head to toe. Although it would not be as easy to move back since all this was being done in and instant and the fact Orca lunged toward Mayuri at high speeds making it hard for Orca to simply turn from the attack.- | |

| -Mayuri had made a terrible mistake one he was about to pay for dearly. Orca's reapers bugs were within close proximity or him and needed not be told what to do. There sole purpose in life was to protect the host and devour as much as they could and the black pit of doom Mayuri had summoned was just that. The reaper bugs unlike Orca's kikai bugs could digest any substance. a single bug could devour a gundam in 20 seconds tops so half a million would dispose of the Hado in even shorter time then Mayuri took to create-
-With that out of the way, the only thing left was killing Mayuri and that was about to happen right here and now. The moment Orca's blade touched the pyramid shaped barrier it would be shattered to bits via sound resonance, which was the white energy Orca had charged prior to his charge-
-The black hado of doom and the pyramid of safety out of the way left only one thing. The sword now sticking through Mayuri chest. Since all of which happened not even a full second before Mayuri was finished performing his spells avoiding Orca at such a speed would be impossible for most if not anyone. Not to mention Orca's body able to predict the movements of a person prior to there activation-
"I believe I have changed my mind. I think I'm going to sever every tendon in your body first"
-Unknown to Orca. the reaper bugs didnt devour the girl. Instead they simple encased her in an impenetrable fortress of Reaper bugs. Her body functions were be sustained and controlled by Orca's gorems, in which she had contracted upon kicking Orca- |

| -Mayuri would cough up a good amount of blood from the blade being stabbed into his chest although Orca would fell a large amount of force pushing on his blade which was Mayuri's amazing spiritual pressure which Mayuri would then release in a large burst though the cut in his chest pushing him back and the blade out of his chest. This large amount of spiritual pressure would also keep any of Orca's bugs from entering his body. Hearing Orca's statment would finally release the inner rage which Mayuri had been mostly holding in so he could completely observe his opponent but that time was now over.- "So your going to sever every tendon in my body. Well it will be a shame to kill such a interesting test subject would be more interesting to study alive. Bankai." -The Baby's head on the guard of Mayuri's Zanpakutō opens its mouth as it would begin to bend and twist until it produces a giant creature with the body of a caterpillar in a red cape with a grotesque golden baby's head and arms with a silver halo hovering around its head.- -The creature would take a deep breath and would then release a poisonous gas derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who breathes it, aside from Mayuri and Nemu. The poison would spread around the whole area making it impossible for Orca and Lucy to avoid it meaning if inhaled Orca's body would begin to completely shut down until he could no longer move. Although while his bankai was forming Mayuri would pull out a strange pill and would then eat it causing his body to glow with a large amount of red spiritual pressure which would now be so strong it would cause near by buildings to crumble due to the crushing force of the spiritual pressure. As the energy died down Mayuri's hair was now bright red with a large amount of stray energy. From his studies Mayuri had been able to learn that people in Vescrutai where able to use their chakra to create different element based powers like how some shinigami in the Soul Society where able to release element based powers with their spiritual pressure. The pill Mayuri just took would allow Mayuri to use element based moves with his spiritual pressure such as like Tōshirō or Head Captain. Mayuri would then point his hand toward Orca and it would shoot out like a rocket toward Orca while a large amount of fire to explode from his hand moving toward Orca in a simple since it was already moving at a fast pace. The fire would also begin to mix in with poison coming from Mayuri's bankai making it hard to locate or since the position of the fire because the poison and fire both felt like Mayuri's spiritual pressure. Mayuri would simply smile feeling the amazing power flowing though his body.- | |

| -Orca's reaper bugs knew to fly and form another sphere around Lucy the same as he had done for Nemu. Orca however couldn't fight from there and was now in a really bad position. His bankai all though useful, would be useless in this type of battle. Meaning he would have to win this fight using his shikai alone. a feet not impossible but certainly difficult-
"..Ugh poison"
-Orca said as the poison of Mayuri's bankai began to take effect. Orca's body and kikai bugs acted as a buffer for poison but they would be able to deal with this on there own if only he could use his cloud flame this fight would have be over hours ago-
"...My reapers aren't gonna be enough...I'm going to have to end this in one decisive blow"
-Orca's sword began to pulse rapidly as he was charging it with the his Shikai. he avoided the flames with simple ease as he could sense them coming without needed any vision. Orca having done his prep began his dash towards Mayuri. He knew he only had roughly ten mins before his body gave out...but he only need 4 to kill this captain- |

| -As Orca moved toward him Mayuri the aura around him would turn blue as he would release a large amount of spiritual pressure which would cause the area to become colder. Mayuri already understood how spiritual pressure could have environmental affect on an area but simply never had the power to do so but that pill he took was making all the difference. The area become colder and colder should cause Orca's body to begin to become colder and stiffer which should slow down his reaction time. Mayuri would then hold out his hand and from it would create a circle of energy, before firing blasts of green light from its center in a cage-like formation. Although each beam would then explode into a large amount of energy which would try to engulf Orca. Meanwhile Mayuri's bankai would continue to release poison and would continue to stand next to Mayuri on guard.- | |

| -Orca stayed true to his plan and kept going fourth. He had already figured this captain was a man of spells and that he more then likely lacked skills in swordsmanship. Orca's reaper bugs devoured the balls of green energy without hesitation allowing Orca time to close the gap between him and Mayuri.-
"Stop toying with these petty spells."
-Orca said now nothing more then a few meters from Mayuri-
"I.."
-Orca coughed up a little blood as the poison was still effecting his body. he needed to end this fight as quickly as possible, for he figured either that sword or that woman had the cure for this poison- |

| -The moment Orca would cough up blood Mayuri would react before the blood could even fully come out of Orca's mouth. In a very fast and surprising motion Mayuri bankai would launch toward Orca and would be right on top of him in no less then a second. Although the bankai would not try to grab, fall on, or eat Orca no faster then when it appeared in front of Orca a large amount of large, long, and sharp blades would erupt from the chest of Mayuri's bankai. Each blade was covered in a strong poison that would triple the power of the poison already inside Orca. Also Mayuri would touch the end of his bankai and would use Hado #11 Tsuzuri Raiden (Bound Lightning) which would send a strong electrical current though the bankai and each blade on it. This means that if Orca was stabbed or slightly grazed by any of the blades not only would be be poisoned further but he would be give a large powerful shock which not only would leave his body numb but even activate a feeling of pain due to the electrical current affecting his nervous system.- | |

"..Ark....*grunts* *Grunt*"
-Orca struggled to move his blade and placed it on the head of Mayuri's Bankai before he managed to place his hands on the blade. At this point Mayuri would have made physical contact with his bankaimsomething that would soon lead to his doom-
"BAGGU!!!!!!!!!!"
-With that Yell Orca released the strongest wave of sound resonance he had ever released. The sound waves would travel through Mayuri's Bankai and even through Mayuri's body as well, As Mayuri's hand was connected to his Bankai. From afar one would see a vast array of colors as the two titans literally restored each other in an epic display of force |
