Stranger At The Door [Operation Demonic Incursion]

She looked on as her clones were little more than an annoyance, but this was when something caught her eye. She jumped backwards using a shunpo to create distance. Lightning and metal were all shooting and killing the people here, what was going on. Soi Fong's orbs looked around trying to scan the horizon was someone here? Her eyes focused towards the female who they were fighting metal tigers had began to attack the woman, these looked to be charged with a high voltage electricity. Her eyes observed as the entire enemy force was being attacked by this, she sensed out the energy. This was the Captain Commander's doing, the amount of things going on. Well to be fair it was enough for her to escape, as metal sealed the entrances slowly and got thicker. It was going to be nearly impossible to enter the Gotei 13 for both sides, the Seireitei was being sealed by the bubble of Captain Iriko. And now this metal was joining with it to make it even harder to enter. She observed as an enemy attempted to touch it and got blasted away by the sheer amount of lightning charging it.

Bit too flashy for her liking, but it was a good diversion in that the enemy leader would have her hands full. Soi Fong thought for a bit as she let her clones vanishing and she began pondering. She could use her bankai in this situation, but it was becoming an issue to fight this woman. Landing a second blow on the female's body where she planted the original was going to be hard. The female could read where she was going to go based on her energy, she didn't really grasp the full power of it all. She observed as the other person here did they're part it was very interesting as she scoffed a bit, being out done by a child. Things had really changed in the world, Soi Fong's orbs cat like in nature fell on the female. She noticed a couple things occurring as she stood her power had increased which gave her more destructive force. Something happened within the Seireitei again, she looked on as she noticed the Shinigami's energy's were all skyrocketing to higher levels. Perhaps a defensive device created by that detestable man.

How Lady Yoruichi could put up with such a man was beyond her, honestly her greatest victory was when the Vizard locked him in a box for a month. To this day that was Soi Fong's greatest triumph against him. Her eyes settled on Nozomi evaluating her target now, studying the enemy she knew she couldn't do much against the female. Unless an opening was provided now their were tigers attacking the female, the very element of lightning was as well. Yet still this most likely didn't provide her a solid opening. She wasn't uncertain if anything in her years Soi Fong had grown mature enough to judge these things. Lady Yoruichi could always judge her enemies and it was such an amazing skill that Soi Fong often envied of her master. But enough of those fun thoughts about Lady Yoruichi for now, she observed what the other was capable of. Detestable was the fact she was going to have to set things up. Soi Fong vanished, she created a kido which would conceal her completely, erasing her energy and presence.

She had a limited amount of time using a butterfly to talk too the person here, as she prepared to use something she detested using. However having cut off vision and sense of her now. She could set up for the larger than life bankai or shikokai which ever was more needed. She could only use her Shikokai once, but it activated seals on a target if it connected. Now what was it this thing did, well it was basically a large version of the bankai. But she couldn't use it here due to the sheer amount of damage it would cause. The metal and everything else would act her diversion for now, the attack from the Captain Commander and this outsider were helpful. These would provide Soi Fong the time she needed, thankfully using this kido would also even hamper the Quincy's power to locate her. For all intensive purposes she was gone, but not for good as she looked on hidden away. Setting up for the task ahead, she was silently giving the ally the area she needed the enemy. Setting everything in motion as it was needed, strategy was sadly a component of fighting. She knew it well enough and would execute it as best she could. This would be her last move, Soi Fong would be forced to pull back if it failed as she prepared herself for it. A few things had changed in the years since that confrontation with Aizen, she no longer needed the stabilizers for what she prepared. In fact she could now fire it freely but hated it due to how flashy it was. She enjoyed graceful displays much like Lady Yoruichis, that was of course the way things should be. A fighter should use grace and nimble fighting to end her enemies not brute force without a single graceful element. Soi Fong's fighting style was nimble and very graceful much like her teachers. It was a fast pace and deadly fighting art, her bankai and shikokai didn't support it at all. She was rather pleased her friend could fight the female well, she just needed the time to aim it properly.

She gave one look toward Soi Fong, a cocky smirk on her face as she preempted her strategy; she would retreat, probably with a bitter taste in her mouth at having to back down. After all it was a fool's trade—why would she take an unnecessary risk like that and get caught by the stasis effect of the blade? It was most obviously a trap, and thus the Bee was forced to back away and do nothing. Her visage vanished with a shimmer, and Nozomi could return to opponents who were not so easily countered, such as was the Yuudeshi girl. Her crimson eyes turned upwards toward the skies as an armada of colored candies flew around like little fighter ships. It was fun to put her opponents in situations like this to see how they would deal with it; after all, she had the energy to spare while the others didn't, so there was no risk involved to it. Occasionally, she even caught people off guard with the parlor tricks, making for a short and sweet fight—most likely bringing about an embarrassing end to her victim. Nobody wanted to be known as the warrior who was defeated by a fleet of candies, especially bad-tasting ones like those Shadin-O's. Whoever vouched for those abominations needed to be shot, honestly. Nozomi did not wish to dwell on them for too long. It was enough to just watch them burn away as they hurtled toward Beetle, knocking out two birds with one stone hopefully. The job would be taken care of by itself, so that Nozomi could focus on cracking the system that the girl was connected to. This, as it turned out, would be fairly easy. There were no real security measures to really prevent the Quincy from breaking in with brute force processing; she would relay a signal—a connection—through a device tucked beneath her clothing, the Watch Dog. It was surpassed by only a handful of machines for being the most powerful supercomputer in existence, yet it was disguised as a mere cellular phone. In this case it was like an aid for a person who already had the means to break into the Yuudeshi's network, only making the process easier than it already was. All it really needed was an identifier to confirm that Nozomi was one of kind, and... that was it. There were measures beyond that to keep a person out. The Watch Dog simply had to produce the identification of one of the existing members, use it here, and she was in.

Beyond the security wall, a web of vast data was presented to her at first; it was a community between the various members of this 'C.R.E.T.S. Network'. It was clear this kept them in touch with each other, but more than that it allowed one to transfer more than just thoughts to the others. It was possible for any being connected to the network and with a great enough understanding to draw power from the others, and at that moment a vast channel of energy was being transmitted to one with the identification of number six: Beetle Yuudeshi. Just as a message could be, this energy was encrypted in a very unique fashion, so that it would not be usable by anyone other than those who knew the code. It defied Nozomi's attempts to simply reach in and steal it away, but she knew that there was energy present within. It stated that she could not understand how to use it, and that she would not be able to utilize this network at all. The girl would frown as she looked up in the skies of the spiritual world now, watching as Beetle once again brimmed with energy. Her Omnidou sought out for Soi Fong and found her in an instant irregardless of the shroud of stealth she layered upon herself, just to make sure she was still there and not preparing anything threatening. Yet her actions spoke too: Soi Fong believed herself to be invisible, undetectable. She defied Nozomi's attempts to sense her by erasing her spiritual presence completely.

They thought these things to be impossible.

Nozomi had grown up as a nobody; she was a plain and uninteresting girl among prodigies. She would possess no aptitude for any skill, nothing to note, and she only disappointed those around her. She was almost a flunkie in the academy, barely managing to scratch through in the end. She couldn't defeat even the weakest of enemies, almost getting killed in her first fight with an enemy due to her own ineptitude. She repeated her fails, never achieving victory, never passing her tests. Even her companions and family seemed so distant now, and her childhood crush had disappeared. All innocence of her youth was lost at this point, and the loneliness was crushing. She was told she would never amount to anything. But she still tried! Even though everything looked hopeless and fruitless for her, she would put out the effort to try and make something more of herself. She didn't need their tests, and she didn't need friends... She would grow her powers in other ways. There were tailed beasts of legend that could grant a being unfathomable power, and she sought one for herself. On one fateful day, she would see her friends for one last time before finally leaving her home village, and beginning her quest. But her friends turned on her when she told them, and she would be backed up against the wall by the people she perceived as her allies: Her mentor, her leader, her team mates. Without much of a fight at all, they would end her life, and Nozomi was no more. One year later, Nozomi would be reborn, walking amongst the living once again. She was more powerful than before, and frighteningly intelligent. Her eyes were black and empty, like the hell she had lived in when she died. She would take her old powers back, and she would capture the tailed beast she sought, becoming one of the most powerful beings on the planet.

They thought these things to be impossible.

Nozomi, ageless now and incapable of death, would live beyond anyone she had known, even that of her lover. She was alone once again and stuck in a world she no longer wished to be in. To be honest, thoughts of suicide did cross her mind during one point, but something stopped her. With her all-powerful eyes she managed to see another way out, a path beyond the world she knew. She would tear the way open with brute force, ripping a tunnel through space itself where another dimension laid beyond. She, a mere human, would step through the void where spatial forces could shred her into nothingness, yet she maintained herself and crossed the threshold. She would break into a new world—this world—having transcended planes, and survived.

They thought these things to be impossible.

Nozomi was several thousand years old. She created the Quincy and manipulated their history. She combined the forces of Hollow and Quincy in perfect synchronicity to achieve greater power than ever before. She has achieved the ability to bring about anything she imagines to reality with a simple thought. She has defeated all opponents who have ever fought her and she will conquer lands by her lone work. Nozomi did not care what you thought was impossible, and she lived her life defying such idiotic presumptions. Who the hell do you think I am? she thought to herself. Time and space bent to her will, and there was nothing she could not perceive; she was akin to a god. Her eyes closed somberly, and the cacophony of the world around her was blocked out to leave her in tranquil silence. She focused hard, bringing her Onikagahi around her in the shape of an armor—it was a translucent but visible layer of crimson energy that bubbled on the surface like lava, reflecting her own form and then distorting it. Sharp pointy ears brimmed off the top of the armor's head, while the fingers grew into menacing claws, and out from behind her sprouted five tails made up of the same energy. There was already so much going on during this. Beetle was destroying each and every one of the candies with her newly-achieved Shikai. The Demons were charging into a pack of steel tigers and floating blades. Nozomi herself was threatened by these animate objects, as they leaped at her. But above them all, the titanic eruption of her spiritual pressure shook every breadth of air and matter within miles of her, dwarfing every other spirit's imprint within range so vastly that they could not even be sensed anymore. It honestly hurt to feel the weight of Nozomi's spiritual pressure, which had been growing ever so large every second that had passed, but only now has had its severity unveiled.

The tigers that had gotten too close to the Quincy would feel the wrath of her radiant energy, glowing bright orange for a second before they were turned to ash in the span of a second's fraction. The ground Nozomi stood upon too would be burned away, leaving a massive crater in its place. Then, finally, the goddess made her first true action, pumping her fist into the air with force that would create a sonic boom, and shatter the ground below her even further with just that movement alone. That was not even her attack, as suddenly a ray of crimson energy emanated from her fist like a blast of light. The beam penetrated the thunderheads above that were caused by the distant Shikokai, and continued to channel destructive energy into them. The clouds parted through destruction, not movement, clearing up the sky once again and erasing the Captain Commander's influence here. When Nozomi dropped her hand, the beam instantly vanished, leaving the air around where it had been shimmering with heat, and the hand from which it originated steaming. She proceed to raise her other hand, which clasped her Copy Sword firmly in her grip. The form of the Onzon Purotekuto would distort and become undone, washing away to reveal a new form—a lengthy straight-edge of simplistic design; the blade tattered and coarse. It was Nozarashi, the blade of Zaraki Kenpachi, and somehow Nozomi's already overwhelming pressure was amplified as the weapon took form. With this weapon held before her, she stood still for a long moment. She would point the blade toward the remainders of the steel entities that threatened the demonic army, as if an omen to their destruction. A muscle was not moved, and yet she would shoot forth at a speed that would leave a vacuum behind; as air rushed to fill this vacuum a resonating bang sounded and the entire area pulsed with a thrumming of kinetic force.

She was moving too fast for untrained eyes to catch light of her—they would only see as the tigers and the possessed swords were sliced into shards, before the actual force of Nozomi's movement caught up with her and caused them to shatter apart in all directions as flaming shrapnel. The fire was not actually created by an ability, but by the sheer friction of Nozarashi as it roughly cut through them. It was a display that even Soi Fong would be impressed with if she at all envied Yoruichi's speed. But there was no time to appreciate, as Soi Fong would be the next target. The attack came from an angle she wouldn't expect, as it was far off from the fight, coming from behind her. It was a shockwave sent out from the swing of the Nozarashi, sharp enough to sever the little Bee in half, and it split open a fissure in the ground as it charged toward her at the speed of sound. It wasn't even a direct strike, yet this attack would continue on for a full mile before the force dissipated, creating a wall of dust and debris along its path. At the same time, as if Nozomi could be two places at once, she appeared directly in front of Beetle. It was like the moon had fallen upon her shoulders—even though it was just a illusion caused by the intensity of the Quincy's spiritual force, it felt real. Nozomi still had her eyes closed after all that time, never having opened them while she delivered her series of attacks; however, now is when they would flutter open, revealing those infinite black voids. The true Omnidou revealed itself here, bleeding a dark inky liquid down the girl's cheeks. She held Beetle's gaze intently.

The C.R.E.T.S. network would go dark, as if no longer existent. The only thing Beetle would be able to receive is static. Nozomi had not just broken the code, but she had crippled the system, taking the handicap away from the Yuudeshi like kicking a crutch out from under her arm. There was no security measure to stop her from her malicious deed, but even with defenses she doubted they would do any good to her enemies. Damned be the people who rely on technology to empower themselves, and make up for their weaknesses; Nozomi would deliver them their just desserts. There was a long few seconds where she just stood there staring at Beetle, as if offering her an opportunity to run or to fight back, but she was wordless. Then, if nothing was made to prevent her, she would raise Nozarashi and bring it down upon her. The action was nearly instantaneous, and it would unmake her.
