Izuru was breathing heavily, air rushing to his lungs and being rushed out just as quickly. Sweat was pouring down his face and exhaustion was taking over. He gripped onto Wabisuke tightly, trying to form a plan of action but finding nothing.

In front of him was a now massive Leonardo. His hair had grown to a main of wild hair, and he now had sharp fangs like that of a lions. His claws were sharp and his strength was massive. His senses and movements were enhanced greatly, making him an almost unbeatable foe.

Izuru wasn't the only one standing on one knee panting. Ikkaku, Renji, Rangiku, Rukia, and Yumichika were all on the ground. Each of them wielding their released Zanpakutō's in hand. None of them able to land a single blow on the monster before them.

Near by Captain Hitsugaya was fighting Andres who was looking down right evil. His skin was now horrible tight against his bones, no muscle seeming to be present in his body where the skin clung tightly to. His face looked particularly hollow and his hair was longer  and shaggy looking more disheveled and  deranged. It was now a solid black. His claws were long and had a reddish hue to them.

Captain Hitsugaya was panting and his Bankai was on the verge of breaking, the ice flower petals that stood as a timer for his Bankai now almost completely gone. The Captain looked over at the other Soul Reapers and gave a ragged breath. The battle had happened so suddenly, they had, had no time to alert the Soul society. He hoped they had surly by now taken note of the battle and were sending reinforcements. It was a desperate thought. Hitsugaya knew in the face of such over whelming power he and his men wouldn't survive much longer in this one way slaughter.

He hadn't laid a single hit against Andres, yet the Arrancar had managed to leave the white haired captain bleeding and covered in blood. Hitsugaya frowned he noticed his Bankai was almost up. The last three petals melting away. If his Bankai vanished he'd have no chance what so ever.

He thought about having Renji release his, however he knew Renji's Bankai was not stable enough. It was still fairly new and in such an area surrounded by his allies his massive Bankai very well might cause more damage then good.

"Hmm tell me, are you perhaps regretting your decision of betraying Asora? Perhaps if you had trusted him you and your friends wouldn't be on the verge of death." Andres said grinning with sick sadistic glee present in his grin and his twistedly dark eyes.

Hitsugaya scoffed, "Please, if he had been here he'd have sided with you and we'd be in serious trouble by now. I and my comrades are more then capable of dealing with the likes of you and that brother of yours."

"Oh?" Andres looked surprised then broke out cackling. "Dear me, your really stupid aren't you captain? Let me explain it to you slowly. He. Was. Not. With. Us."

The white haired Captain looked shocked, "W-what are you going on about? He's the son of a traitor, of course he'd betray us! Why on earth are you trying to defend him!" He asked uneasy.

Hitsugaya quickly raised his zanpakutō and blocked Andres sharp claws. The Arrancar was grinning. "Oh now, now little boy, aren't you the slightest bit curious as to who it was that alerted your Department of Research and Development about your friend? Perhaps you'll find our, not at all, calculated ambush up at the mountain strange? After all none of my siblings made our selves know despite their only being two of you. Jesus you really are that dumb!" He laughed and brought his other hand down, leaving deep cuts in Hitsugaya's right arm. Though he was able to kick away from his foe in the process.
