And as if by command, Ezel reacted to his allies words, and fell into complete harmony with this attack. At the moment 'granted' escaped such sharp lips, his blade ignited with a cerulean dye several times, flashing as the energy bleed into the floor. "Affliccion..." was all that was muttered as the energy snaked with extreme speeds to the feet of every shinigami, bursting with immense energy at their location. It was only distraction to prepare them for what would follow.

The Espada's hand shifted to swing the great blade over his shoulder, its speed fast enough that the very image of such a large object was a distorted blur, his own ears picking up the whisper of the air splitting with its descent. The ate into the floor and with it, all momentum that was stored, tearing the earth in two for several meters before him, stopping only at the great walls of Seireitei. In a cone, the earth split and shattered under extreme force, firing off the shrapnel of tattered rock and dirt towards his opponents. 

It was a flamboyant display to enter a fighting stance, but if his opponents dared to not protect themselves, they would be wounded by just his own preparation for battle.

There was nothing delicate about War. Its effects were greatly felt, and any approach taken claimed life as reparation. No means to justify the end and almost foolhardy, warring factions pitted themselves against another, not for a moral or just purpose—it was more selfish—these hostilities were fought only to prove a point. To deliver a message; this message, however, was clearly received by the Gotei thirteen.  

Faultless features scaled instantly¹ as Nabil’s tone grew more saturnine and challenging and as the Espada swiftly guided his palm to the blade’s handle, Itada had registered several spiritual drives. The thin blade of reiatsu collided with the large Kidō before detonating, and a swift breeze² carried the Taichō behind its edifice and castor. Meanwhile and simultaneously, his lips moved in swift succession. “Birthed from the world’s marrow, now called to cleanse its taint” Whispered in a low drone, even his comrades wouldn’t have catch glimpse of his intentions beneath the roars of the ramming powers.  

The Blonde Arrancar had discharged a throb of energy, though with its speed and lack of any entertaining consequence, Itada concluded that it was a dud and when the man continued on, his suspensions were confirmed. Ryūsuke had called forth the power of his Bankai—though precipitately—considering the oppositions were using lesser techniques to rouse, though it mattered little. Kairya, surely in the midst of strategizing coupled with Sojiro’s ensuing continuation left the Seiryū to his own devices.  

Another skillful Shunpo³ would carry the armor-clad Taichō just opposite of Kariya’s (30 meters apart) newfound position in the sky, using the man’s camouflage and his ability to identify spiritual energies to guide him. As the Ryuugamine interacted with the foes with the use of his impressive Shikai, Itada scrutinized and prepared contemporarily. The battle was moving at such a high pace bearing in mind their collective experience and aptitude, Itada knew he couldn’t force himself into a position of dimness. Thusly, as he landed, the man continued “Birthed to be its one true salvation.” His lips sealed, though for a moment as he sat in hostile territory. Preparations assembled and prerequisites met, Itada’s next move would change the tides of battle. Hawk-like eyes watched as his sensory tools directed him and his lips began to mutter a final idiom…

1. Dragon’s Bane; A man of devastating power, Itada wizened himself and devised a technique to rid himself of the weakness he was to others. By compressing and folding his own reiatsu around his form, the Captain—for a near unbounded period of time—can “harden” his body in stratums of energy to drastically increase his overall defensive prowess. Weak to modest blows become nothing more than flicks upon his visage and only the strongest of techniques can wound, or even shatter such a defense. Repeated blows, however can rot away its defensive properties, forcing Itada to use more reiatsu to mend and repair. This technique is characterized by producing slight fissures along Itada’s form, similar to cracks, if not scales.

2 & 3. Shunpo.

"Fortune favors thee..." Ezel mused as one of the cero-charged blasts met the submerged wall of kido. The four moved in a synchronized step, as if the fight was anticipated, and immediately they all took to their own methods of combat. The initial attack came from the blonde Captain, and Nabill made short work to provide defense, though the quake shattered the floor in his direction. It was a perfect chance to extend the combat in another direction, to split the forces as required, and a mighty leap cratered the dirt at his feet as the Espada soared high into the air.

Each stray blade of energy that Kayira attacked with would either meet deflection from his own weapon, or forced away by the thickness of his own barrier of reiryoku known as bastion. Admist the action, Ezelrik forced his reiatsu to conquer the weaker captains, especially after seeing the swiftness of action. Replicating his own form of tactile telekinesis, a thin barrier of his reiryoku, translucent in color and invisible to any eye, formed around each opponent, its pressure working to slow them down. Walk of Peace would make even the fastest of their outfit relative to his own speed if not slower, and those that didn't have speed as an advantage would find themselves victim to an opponent that now greatly out-speeds and out-powers them - or rather, two. 

Ezel's ascent would end on a level in comparison to Kariya and Itada. There was no moment to waste, and his body burst into a sonido, swinging high at the head of Itada, while he whistled at his legs. A feint attack to attempt to allow one to of the attacks to hit, and unless he was equipped with a perception and an intuition of God himself, he was bound to be subject to one of the strikes.

BASTION: Ezel has shown preference against a heavy reliance on abilities such as cero or balla, and instead has developed an advanced version of spiritual augmentation to fight. With his immense spiritual reserves, and the control he has over it, the arrancar is able to case his body in an invisible layer of reiatsu that will quickly provide heavier concentration to areas that look to be the target of an action. With this, he is able to create a dense shield on points of impact, and is the very basis of the extreme durability he possesses. In addition, he uses the same augmentation to greatly enhance his attacks, and with it, he can perform features that surprise the majority of the universe's inhabitants. It is this skill that defines him among the others, and advances him to such a high level.

WALK OF PEACE: An ability developed to combat those that can take advantage of his inability to keep up in terms of travel speed. Much like his own usage of bastion, he can use his spiritual power to coat an opponent, and instead of providing an augment to them, he uses it as precise pressure to influence their mindset. This can either force feeling of great pride or a amplify one's own lack of pride, enforcing a slowed state. This is achieved by either one becoming so confident and proud that they will not think to move at full speed, or make one submissive and unable to achieve such. While the opponent will not be affected in their personality, their subconscious is briefly altered during such events, and the will be unaware that they have succumb to such effects.



SONIDO:



STANDARD SLASH: Horizontal @ Itada's face.



SILBAR: Literally "whistle," and is just that. Ezel will create a colorless bala that looks more like a disruption in the air that fires at intense speeds and provides a heavy bunch of concussive force. The balla lets out an scream as it travels and it can burst eardrums if near an ear. It hits with harder force than a standard balla, though it can be fired a lot less frequent.
