Raul's body was hit by the Bala, and disintegrated into dust in the light of the energy...
Or so it looked...
In actuality, Raul appeared behind Taka, and unsheathed his zanpakuto, taking aim at her back, and striking before sheathing it again. He did not wish to use his Shikai, and he could not use his Bankai in this area, with Zuki here. So he'd need to rely on his skill with Shunpo...

The attack hit her, but the attack wasn't enough to cut her hierro, the hard skin of arrancar. "Nice try, but you'll have to slice harder than that, the higher the rank of the espada then harder they are to cut." She laughed. "But I'm guessing you're 'mommy' probably told you all about that," She mocked then laughed again. "I don't care who your mother was and I don't care what th lady told you, if she was idiotic enough to train a son, not even a son, a disgrace like you than I give my full pity to the woman, I truly do, and ask Merk over there, I give pity rarely."

Raul laughed. "Oh, she told me. I suppose I was giving common courtesy to a woman, by not trying to kill her..." He cracked his neck, and laughed. "Your Hierro isn't that tough, to be honest. It felt like if I had pushed a tad harder, you'd have been skewered. It really is disappointing. I was expecting a good fight from an Espada, but let me guess, I don't think you're in the top 3..." He laughed harder. "And if you are, well, we don't have much to worry about. We'll just squash you Hollows, like the bugs you are..."
He felt the chain around his neck. "And don't disrespect the Shihouin Clan. Yoruichi Shihouin, the Goddess of Flash, would have been less kindly than I am. You'd already be dead..."

"Don't get all high and mighty yet, I'm just getting started, to be honest with me a lieutenant would be a warm up!" She laughed. "If you think I'm as stupid as to reveal my powers straight up then you'd be wrong, I'm not a pathetic idiot like my "comrad" over there." She smirked. "To even get me to release my zanpakutoh takes a lot from an enemy and once I'm in release I'm nearly unbeatable. Once you see it you'll have nihtmares and if you see it again you'll be running for the hills." She paced a bit. "As for your clan, I couldn't care less for rich nobility scum, they've never helped me and they're still people, just because you're noble make you better. I grew up in a poor family in dangerous place and look how I turned out!" She laughed.

Raul snickered. "Yeah...LOOK at you." He laughed full out, mocking the Espada. "If you think that's the extent of my power, you're an imbecile yourself. I'm Captain of the 2nd Division of the Gotei 13. That means I don't lose. Ever." And with that, he unsheathed his zanpakuto. "But, if you want me to use a weapon, I'll oblige..."
He then increased his Shunpo a tad further, an applied his old strategy with a zanpakuto, raining the swipes down. Short, but powerful, swipes. They have the ability to penetrate a Hierro, but they wouldn't go deep. Raul was toying with the Espada, and Merk could tell. Merk shook his head. This Captain might die because of his ignorance...

"That makes two of us who have never lost," She grinned. "Don't be a fool, back down, before I decide to unsheath my weapon," She smirked, this man really was an arrogant noble. "Maybe if you stepped off your high horse and looked at it from a different perspective you'd realie how much troulbe you're in, or is someone of yor ranking to special to realize the blind truth of things," She used sonido to get behind him. "You were doomed from the start," She whispered in his ear while quickly unsheathing her sword and slashing down at him in an almost unseeable motion.

Raul almost did a complete back flip, blocking the sword with the sole of his shoe, before using Shunpo to get away. "What high horse? I state plain truths, my dear. Your race has been inferior for generations, and now an Espada, who has avoided telling me her rank, believes she is more powerful than the leader of the Shihouin Clan? If that is not arrogance, what is?"
He smirked, yet again. "When I think of how many of your kind succumbed to the will of Aizen, a SHINIGAMI, I laugh. It appears the Arrancar cannot even govern themselves, they required Aizen, Gin, and Tousen...." He was enjoying this, and the longer they took exchanging words, the closer the other Captains got...

Taka laughed. "Merk, take the boy home, I'll follow you soon after." She kept her eyes on Raul. "You turn your attention to the fellow captain and I kill you, you keep your attantion on me and he leaves. What's it going to be, Senior Shihouin?" She snickered. "Your life, or his? I'd be greedy, personally, who cares about the boy. At least you'll be alive."
She pointed the tip of her zanpakutoh at him. "So? Are we going to fight or are you going to keep on delaying us like the coward you are. You call yourself a noble but you shame the name of Shihouin. Your mother was a good woman, but now you are your clans leader." She frowned. "But sometimes being a leader is hard. Child, you have lived a sheltered and protected life, you know nothing of this world."

Raul's face flashed with annoyance. "Well, then I'll kill you and catch up with the boy..." he said. He held his zanpakuto up. "Kashou, Uvarel." He said, and it began glowing light red, and it's temperature rose so much that it would burn anything it touched. he then used the full extent and speed of his Shunpo, whirling around her at amazing speeds, in multiple patterns, striking at every angle conceivable...

Merk nodded. "Right, Ma'am..." He said. He picked up Roren, hauled him onto his shoulder, and steadied himself. He looked back at the Lieutenant, lying there. She wouldn't follow him, but he hoped Taka could hold off that man. He then used his own Shunpo, speeding through the hole in the wall made by Roren's Kido...

"Don't act as if you've already defeated m, so don't go making plans that you can't fullfil, because you won't," She grinned and looked at his sword. "Captain already releases his zanpakutoh, interesting choice you made there," She sonido'd to him and made short rapid slashes with her zanpakutoh. "You're not fast enough for my techniques, I can track you with my eyes," She looked around, "Looks like the other Captain is gone, pity." She built up energy in her hand. "Bala!"

Raul saw the Bala coming, and swiped his sword in an upward motion. The Bala was cut in two, and sent into the wall behind him. "My zanpakuto is different. The term 'a knife through butter' applies here." He stated. "It can cut anything, because of the intense heat. Its heat is enough to repel Cero level attacks." His face was calm yet forceful. "My Shunpo may not be enough on its own, but I'm more than enough for any Espada." He laughed. I use my Shikai often, for kicks. This is childs play." He then smiled, but appeared behind Taka, replicating his body and striking after smirking...

Zuki inwardly cringed at the heat of the Zanpkutoh. The ice that kept her alive was wavering at this intenseness. Her throat clogged up and she flipped over onto her back. Of all people to come it had to be a person with a fire zanpakutoh! She hated fire zanpaktoh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taka shrugged. "I don't mind heat and I don't care if your sword can cut through anything like it's butter, maybe it can." She smiled and took a few steps forward then launced herself into the air. "You wanted a fight, well now you've got one!" She landed and spontaniously drew her zanpakutoh roughly across the floor, hurling splinters and wood up at him,

As Raul struck at Taka, he noticed Zuki was having trouble with his zanpakuto. He glances back at Taka, and numerous splinters flung at him. One of them hit at the right trajectory, and plunged into his shoulder. "Lucky, that..." he said, smirking and Flash Stepping away. He sealed his zanpakuto again. He did not wish to put Zuki in more pain than she already was in. "You wanted a fight with no Shikai? Fine, then..."
He pulled off and removed his Haori and the top of his Shinigami Uniform, exposing his upper torso. He then used Shunko, a technique his mother had taught him, a mixture of Kido and Hand to Hand combat. He Flash Stepped toward Taka, aiming a punch at her midsection, and also putting Kido into the punch...

Taka jumped backwards. "Lucky wouldn't be the word I would use." She landed on a table. "Now that you can't use your shikai then I suppose I might as well finish you off." She place both ofher hands parrallel on the dark purple hilt of her sword. "Resurrección! Subida del muerto, Fantasma!" The hilt of her zanpakutoh wrapped up her arm, around her neck and spiraled down her torso at the white shell of an arrancar's zanpakutoh. A bunch of black, transparent figures appeared in the area. "This is the true form of my zanpakutoh, Fantasma!"
The figures stood still in the area surrounding them. "Though they may look harmless I'd refrain from letting them get close to you, these souls only obey me and if you accidentaly die in this battle than you'll become on of these mindless figures to aid me in battle." She laughed.
