A calm moment (Open)

Ooc: Odd, I swing my kick at you with killing intent yet you catch it with one hand. . .

Ic:
Zerros' ankle was grabbed by the Arrancar, But that didn't hault Zerro's attack at all, Zerro followed through and though the Arrancars right hand was between the Zerros right foot and the Numeros face, Zerro forced the land to collide with the face as well as send a rigerous force through his face as he landed his kick, sending the Numero flying towards the very same pillar Zerro hit with a Bala. After connecting Zerro Stanced himself in his usual manner, though it seemd as though he was just holding his scabboard and his katana idle in both hands at his sides, The light of the dome that covered all inside Las Noches revealed a few of Zerros fraccion jumping from the window of the ebony tower that remaiend open, they were flyign towards Zerro because they felt his reiryoku heighten and thought it was because he was rampaging merely on his hunger. Zerro didn't need to look over to them, his unique pequisa spotted their intentions and obligation to cmoe to their masters aid before they were even visible. As they finally reached the same level as Zerro , the three of them surrounded him bowing down and waiting for Zerro to claim their heads so he could finish eating. Zerro looked at them with his expression remaining unchanged and then back at his flying target, it was quite odd, if it was any other numero, that kick would have crushed their skull where they stood and removed it from their body, but this man was not only able to reduce the impact from the kick with his own hand which Zerro suspected was probably broken, but from the looks of it he seemed to have his head still attached to his body.

"Allow me to give you praise; For only someone with great physical power could do what you just did, though I doubt you'll be concious for much longer, if you do hear me then you must hear this as well, for a Numero, you certainly are alot of fun." Zerro commented as he grabbed the arms of the Fraccion that belonged to him and the one that was to his right and ripped them out of their sockets. The Numeros Screamed in pain but Zerro paid no attention to it, he merely started chewing into the the arms of his fraccion to help lift the hunger than plauged his stomach since hte beginning of his day, it is the only reason he started 'playing' with this numero in the first place. He looked over at Veronica, who hasn't even said a word since Zerro started this fight and who looked as though watching the display of talent was all she could hope to do. Zerro didn't like it when a Arrancar was calm nor did he like it when an Espada watched from the sidelines when their Fraccion were being beat around by another Espada, was is possible that she was afraid to interfere with Zerro's playtime? Zerro discarded the idea at once the moment it popped into his head, this female is not one that needed to be taken lightly nor does she take otehrs lightly but fear of another Espada was something that remained far from this womans mind. Instead of thinking about the matter any further, Zerro decided to ask her; "Aeris, why is it that you just sat there and allowed me to attack your Fraccion, assuming of course that that IS your fraccion, right? You're a bit gloomy today, even MORE Gloomy than you usually are and you're the Espada of despair, so that's saying alot."

For a minute there Scion thought that he had the Cuarta, he was blocking him and counter attacking. But the next second he felt as his resistance was overwhelmed and he was flying away, his right arm felt limp - then something solid hit him in the back. He felt as a few bones cracked as his back made contact with a red pillar.
He exhaled loudly and grunted. It would seem that he had no need to brace himself for the fall - he was half-lying in the broken area of the pillar.

Next he heard the words of the Cuarta, and he said he gave him praise and thought he was a lot of fun. Scion could say the same to him, but now he understood that this opponent was beyond him. This, however, wouldn't stop Scion, for he wasn't the coward type. And perhaps he was too overzealous in this trait of his.
For now, Scion managed to stand up. He was hurt, but not going to fall unconscious, he took pride in his endurance. Now he awaited for whatever would come next, seeing as the kid stopped attacking him and started to eat his subordinates. Scion showed a little worn out smile as he saw that - such disregard for his own followers was simply unnecessary and was bad for one's reputation - now Scion would never want to be one of his... "subordinates".

For a moment, Aeris thought about getting into the ''tag''. But then he reminded herself of Zerro's personality. He just wanted more people to play with. In the other hand, if she didn't do anything, Scion would be get killed. But before she was able to decided, Cuarta made a kick with massive amounts of physical power towards Scion. He tried to block this attack, but failed and was sent flying towards a pillar. Aeris wasn't expecting an attack of that caliber and was sure, that this ''tag'' was over. Scion proved her wrong as he seemed to be still breathing after the kick. ''He is stronger than I thought'', she said to herself within her mind. ''But Zerro is going too far with this. He might die''. Aeris didn't care particularly from Scion, but she couldn't accept of any arrancar to die.

Zerro started to talk to her again, commenting about her behaviour. ''He isn't my fraccion''. Aeris used sonido to get closer to Zerro. Proximately two meters away from him. ''And don't you dare to criticize my behaviour'', she continued with a slightly angry voice. Aeris wasn't quite calm at this moment, so she was easier to provoke. And what made her more to do her next action was Zerro's personality. He had killed many arrancars, which were even his own fraccions. A red energy started to appear on her palm and seconds later, her hand was up and had fired a bala towards Cuarta. It was at it's full power and speed. Bala's weren't as powerful as cero anyway, so he wouldn't probably get much damage.

Zerros' expression remained unchange, unwilling to accept his delight and display it to the surrounding beings but he supressed it as he usually did and thought only of what was awaiting him at the far end of what he measured and decided to call the small sandbox, pun not intended with the word but meaning the small play area. Zerros gaze turned back to the Arrancar getting himself out of the wrekage caused by his own body and standing firm with a weak smile. Zerro immediately hears the response to his earlier question asked by him earlier followed by a threatening tone giving off a warning. Zerros attention switches to the 5th espada who has already fired a bala at Zerro and just before he could react physically he was hit in the chest with the bala. Sadly, because of his size he was engulfed by the explosian that followed the balas impact to his right breast. Zerro coughed loudly, for no real purpose, nothing had invaded his lungs so there was no cause behind it but its meaning was to make him seem that vunerable. The cloud of smoke that covered his entire body was about to disappear revealing his body standing exactly where it stood before except with a smoking dark bruise on his right breast and singed cloth that made a hole revealing it. While Zerro wasn't afraid of the 5th Espada, he'd rather not provoke her. Finally, tired of waiting for the smoke to clear, Zerro fanned away the rest of it that remained with his left hand with his expression still unchanged. "Not criticism. . ." Zerro explains as he uses sonido to travel 3 feet behind the Arrancar he kicked into a pillar with one of his fraccion in his right hand. "Just observation." He finishes and throws down the fraccion in front of the Arrancar. "Here, eat this arrancar and your minor wounds won't hurt as much. I believe you have the right to meet the primera, but because of the damage I inflicted on you with a a single kick, I think it would be best if you rested in my tower." Zerro explains as he smirks slightly at his comment.

Zerro looks back at Aeris and then shakes his head. "Whether or not you want to continue escorting this man is irrelevant, be it by force or willingly, I need him to come to my towers, if one were to go before the primera, one must ask the right questions." Zerro suggests as he waited 2 minutes before looking down to the numero to whsiper something while they were several hundred feet away from the 5th. "You'll be of great use to me if you hone your skills, how about telling me your name, and in return, I'll do you the favor of keeping you alive by any means neccesary until you meet the primera. It is a great deal considering that I've just injured you and I wouldn't think about rejecting this offer, I am an Espada, you have no choice but to cooperate." Zerro says bluntly with a striaght, cold expressionless face.

Scion watched as a little argument occurred between the Espada and as Cuarta came up to him and asked him his name, in return for protection - a weak proposal to make to Scion it was... but under the circumstances perhaps it was not to be ignored. Scion chuckled a little and smiled at the Cuarta as he rose up in full height, after grabbing the arrancar the Cuarta tossed him by the head. He was going to play tough till the end - that's just how he was.

"I told ya my name already, just when you came by." - Scion looked at Curta, showing no fear whatsoever. Well.. even if he was afraid - it was just the slightest degree. Scion always killed such an emotion as fear at it's very birth within him. Some say fear preserves - but Scion need no such thing. - "It's Scion, and it's common courtesy to give me yer name in return." - Scion grunted, as he crushed the fraccion's skull, while he was talking to the kid who beat him. He had to use his left arm, because he still couldn't feel his right one, and it seemed like it took almost all the force of the attack, while the rest of Scion's body received only a medium degree of damage.

Scion hated to eat other Arrancar. He wasn't against eating hollows or humans, but somehow he felt irritated when he ate those like him - he thought it was a waste and only did that if an opponent arrancar was dead after a battle. Scion smiled as his victim finally stopped convulsing.

"What a day, huh?" - he said as he began biting into the arrancar's neck and started to chew a bit. It wasn't really disgusting, even if it was inhuman - Scion wasn't a human anyway.
Scion looked back at the boy. He wasn't feeling nor intimidated, nor felt like he owed the kid anything for his decision not to kill him.

Ooc: I was hoping Aeris would post within 24 hours but since he has not been able to do so I will have to move on. Places to go people to see.

Ic:
Zerro kills himself.

Scion watched as the boy lifted his hand and charged a Cero, point blank to his face. In the next moment he released a red ray, blasting off his head in the process.
Scion was shocked at that turn of events, for the kid just won their fight and had no obvious reason to kill himself. Scion thoughts rushed into his head and he quickly threw away the arrancar he was holding. He had forgotten all about what he said earlier and all he thought.

Scion jumped towards the kid's dead body and slammed his teeth into the little kid's remains. It was low... it was disgusting - but it was a very nutritious meal. Maybe Aeris here would judge him, but Scion didn't really care - he needed this power, and it was nearly for free. The arrancar repeated the process of biting and chewing until he felt that there was nothing more to gain from the chunk of meat that lay before him.
He rose up and smiled, his power returned and he healed all his injuries.

"What the hell? Hah, it was a tasty meal anyways." - Scion wanted to say something next to Aeris, but felt a spiritual pressure in the distance. It was a strong individual.. maybe the strongest reiatsu Scion ever felt. It was coming from the direction of the Espada Towers - "Well... it seems I found someone else here, I'll go there and maybe I'll find the Primera, eh?"

Scion smiled again, this time at Aeris, and sonidoed away. He wanted to meet the other Espada and see for himself if it was worth joining them. The spectacle that occurred a few minutes ago raised some doubt in Scion.

[TOPIC EXIT]

Aeris lowered her hand briefly after the bala. She was usually immune to provoke, but her mind was too unstable at the moment. She then decided to continue watching from aside to prevent any further conflicts. Aeris observed, that Cuarta said something to Scion. But what really shocked her was Zerro's suicide. Aeris widened her eyes, as she couldn't believe what she saw. He was one of the strongest Espada's and had no reason to do that. But she was also happy at some level, considering how Zerro had treated his underlings.

Scion started to eat Zerro's body, which wasn't that surprising. He seemed like a typical arrancar and Aeris wasn't going to judge that. Scion smiled briefly before heading towards Primera's tower. She sighed once again. Too much had happened after he decided to escort Scion. ''I need some time of my own'', she decided as she moved next to Zerro's body with sonido. Aeris then shot a Cero at it, destroying it completely. It would just be bothering, if a piece of meat was lying there. After this ''burial'' Aeris used sonido once again, to find a new, calm place.
