Zuki watched the captain. Raul...you're such an idiot but thank god you came at the time you did. The pain ached through her bones but in a good way as she wathched Merk get knocked into the wall. Hey, somebody was in the area...I was just trying to scare him to buy time but this works too. She inwardly sighed. Raul, watch out for Roren, please.

Raul chuckled, as he waited for Merk to get up. "I told you once, Zuki, that I only work for things that are important to me. Perhaps now you know what I meant." He sighed. "You're lucky I was where I was. I was with Kyoko, at the time, and only I could have made it here in time..."
As Merk stood, he laughed. "Well, now, kid. You came very close, hurting Roren and even our Lieutenant over there in the process." He said, pointing to Zuki. "I can't let you hurt anyone else, I'm afraid..."

Merk giggled. "Raul Shihouin. Even I've heard of you. Tell me, do you really expect to win? After all, I've already taken down those two, and after a long run like that, you must be out of breath..." He tilted his head. "But..." He raised his zanpakuto, "Waikyoku, Prolifora..." He stated, his zanpakuto yet again turning into a blade of pure light. "I'll put an end to two Captains, tonight..." He laughed harder. "I'll be the one to kill 'The Flash Master!"

Zuki eyes twinkled. Yeah, she remembered and he got the plan which meant she might actually have to say thank you. The inhability to move was really bugging he. She would either have to use her technique and run out of energy or lie there and be useless. She had to make a decision, she didn't like decision making.

Raul smirked. "Judging from the fact that you used your seal zanpakuto to try and finish her off, I'm guessing that can't hurt me. But it does paralyze, much like old Mayuri's zanpakuto did. However, from the look on Zuki's face, extreme pain must be involved..." He laughed. "And trust me, you won't be getting any prestige for beating the Flash Master. I'm not the Flash Master, my mother was..."
And with that, he was off, using his hands and feet as weapons, he swirled around the boy, his Shunpo amazing. It was at least double the boy's speed, and that was saying something...

Merk attempted to guard against these attacks, but Raul's Shunpo was both fast and unpredictable. He was hit with almost every blow sent his way. Multiple punches to the face, kicks to the stomach. Merk was pretty sure the man had broken his nose. But he was used to this kind of pain. As the man's assault ended, Merk dropped, nursing his wounds.
"Amazing, truly. Your Shunpo is everything it's supposed to be and more..." Merk coughed. "But I'm not going to give up so easily. I've taken more pain than this in my life..." And with that, he stood up, facing Raul once more...

Zuki watched the battle. Raul was doing pretty well, for the lazy man he was. She tried to build up the energy to move but couldn't yet. Her heart seemed to be too weak to do any normal functions besides beating. A shiver went through her, someone else was coming, if it was the enemy than this could go from bad to worse but if it was an allie they would win for sure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taka walked silently through the silent streets, the cloak set over her shoulders. She sensed the battle near by, this was all such drag. Rangis-sama had told her to come just in case Merk failed. Her feet lead her to a building, the only light one in the area. She peered through the window and sure enough there was Merk, another man and two figures lying on the ground. She leapt up into a window sill. "Oi, Merk! If you can't handle it I'll fight the captain myself." She dropped into the room. "Stupid shinigami..." She muttered. She flung off the cloak. "Now what do we have here? A paralyzed woman, an out cold man and a captain, what trouble have you gotten yourself into now you idiot?"

Raul turned and looked. "Another guest. How predictable for the Arrancar to have a backup." He bowed his head. "Raul Shihouin, at your service, ma'am." He laughed. "Though are Arrancar women still considered women?" He shook his head. "This boy is pretty pathetic, but then again, he took down Captain Roren and Lieutenant Zuki, so I can't exactly underestimate him." He chuckled again. "So, you a Numero? Or are you an Espada?"
His mother had told him about the Arrancar. They were separated into Numeros, Espada, and other, non combat oriented Arrancar. Therefore, he was very knowledgeable about Arrancar dealings...

Merk gazed at the Espada. "Miss Taka! How are you? Yes...." He coughed again, blood running from his nose, "I could use some help...this Shinigami is better than I had anticipated..." He hung his head in shame. "I'm truly sorry, Ma'am..." He said. Rangis obviously had sent her. Merk thought about being insulted, but he realized that Rangis merely wanted to cover all of the bases. He looked at the woman, struggling to move, and Roren, still knocked out cold. Taka would win, he knew it...

Zuki couldn't see the women but by her voice she could tell much. Merk spoke to her in a formal way, which means she must be an Espada. then she remembered something in her criminal files, in the espada section. She only had a few but it seemed that this girl fit the catagory nicely. But she couldn't put a name and a face together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taka waltsed a little farther into the room. "Me? I'm an Espada and we are considered women only by people who don't know us well, do those who do, like that weakling over there," She gestured to Merk, "Killing beasts, might be a better term." She laughed maliciously then turned her attention to Merk. "And you," She glared at him, "I don't even see why Rangis-sama would choose worthless scum like you to fulfill this mission, I would've been out of here a very long time ago! But no, he's worried about his little mission because he gave it to an incompitent rat and now I have to go pick up the pieces? He could've at least sent another Espada but apparently I fit the job, and that makes you life a hell of a lot worse than it was five minute ago, do you understand me!" She yelled at him, moving intimidatingly closer at every insult. "I'll deal with you later, or maybe Rangis-sama will be so angry I won't have to!"

Raul laughed. "An Espada? Well, this is a turn of events, now, isn't it? Ah well." He gazed at her. "Calling others weaklings isn't becoming. Especially since...I'll be calling you that very thing in a matter of minutes..." He smiled knowingly at her. "I hope you're ready, Espada. You'd better be, I'm going to let you make the first move..."
Raul didn't like this. If the boy was so formal to her, she must be high ranking. Well, she couldn't keep up with his Shunpo, he was sure of it. He swore on his Mother's grave, that he would never be beaten in that aspect...

Merk hung his head once more. "Yes, Ma'am...I'm sorry for being so weak." He smiled. "When I get back, maybe Rangis-sama will punish me! Then again..." His eyes became piercing. "Rangis has uses for me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought me with him one his quest to be king. So, maybe..." He became his childish self once more, "Maybe it'll just be a LITTLE punishment!"
Merk enjoyed mind games, even with the Espada. The lady might be more powerful than him, but she couldn't hurt him, not under Rangis' supervision. And Merk didn't mind reminding them of it. He would never SAY it, but they all knew. And, once he had more experience, Merk was sure he'd be even more powerful than Taka. He'd never be an Espada, as he isn't an Arrancar, but he'd be more than a match...

Zuki could see the girl now. She was odd looking, taller than Zuki and she had green hair. The last green haired espada was a former espada from the 'begining times' as Zuki called them, Neliel Tu Oderschvank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taka looked at Raul. "I wouldn't be making assumtions until you fully know my power, people have tried to defeat me and failed, lower rank espada and other arrancar have tried and all failed. So will you if you decide to take me on." She looked at the two motionless figures. "So far you've done alright Merk, so the man's the captain and the girl's the lieutenant. That's a pity, by her condition seems the female put up more of a fight, but that is usually the way it goes.

Raul smirked. "Is it? Well, then I suppose this fight will be a good one, considering I was trained by the greatest female fighter this world has ever known." He laughed at her. "I suppose you don't take the whole 'Lady's First' thing to heart? Fine, then. I suppose I'll be attacking now..."
He pushed his Shunpo to an even higher level than what he used against Merk. He was whirling around her, not using his zanpakuto, but raining blows with his fists and legs. He had ordered some Onmitsukido forces to follow him and guard the Research Facility, but he was running so fast, the Hell Butterfly might have just gotten there...

Taka's eyes fluttered, watching him the best she could, dodging most of his attacks. She used Sonida to move across the room away from his flailing attack. She built up some energy in her hand, "Bala," She muttered effortlessly as she shot the blast across the room.
Though Cero was more powerful Bala would be faster and against someone that fast she'd need fast techniques instead of slow ones. "Watch this battle closely Merk, I'll show you how to defeat a captain."
