Lizzy's return (ESPADA)

[Sleeps]

The light orange sun beamed down harshly as the soft wind began to blow the dark brown sand past a young girl’s feet. Just as she had taken a step forward her foot print had disappeared, when she had taken a step back that foots prints that were in front of her had also disappeared. “Who was this girl? That’s what one may ask if they had seen her from a distance.” Everyone who lived in Hueco Mundo knew of her but, what they didn’t know is what is she had just under gone. It had been weeks since she had shown her face to another Espada. The once seemly careless fun loving girl that she once was was now replaced with a more or less grown looking appearance.

Lizzy the one how always tried to make fun in every situation now had a face of seriousness. Her rose cheeks where pale her sparking green eyes where now fierce but yet still let off a gaze as though she asked for some to speak with her. Her hair that once stopped a little past her shoulders has now dropped down to her mid back. Her clothes had also changed her High school attire she had once owned was now replace with the average Espada rode with her own respective alteration. She had two collars a black one that stood upward as started to fold outward as it reached chin height the black color was part of an all black button shirt the was button just below her breast blocking the hole on her upper abdomen from clear view. The shirt was then tucked in to a part of all white shinigami pants with a black trim around the edges. Over top the black shirt and the waist of the girl was another shirt that matched the pants. It was all white with the same black trim also with buttons. Just like the other shirt it was buttoned up at the third hole just under her breast. Yet this shirt was not tucked in, it rested over her pants the bottom blowing in the wind and being risen when Lizzy moved abruptly. Her trade mark sneakers were now black socks and black slip on looking shoes.

The sound of a sword cutting the air could be heard from a great distance away. As Lizzy practiced swing her sword stepping in on each and every swing. It was clear that she had changed somewhat physically but did she also change mentally?

[Gahrok]

With a silent thud Asmodeus appeared, via sonido, frightfully close to one of Lizzy’s swings and with mock fright took a few stumbling steps backwards. “You oughta be careful of where you practice m’dear..” said Asmodeus with such a dramatic tone that one would be inclined to smack the growing smirk right off of his face. But Asmodeus’s mocking was mostly for continuity’s sake, he saw the change in her, he knew something was up. There was an intensity in those eyes, a purpose in her step. And so much else about her had changed, her hair was long, her garb new and considerably less…. well… he would leave it at new. Her face even had a sudden severity that would’ve previously seemed out of place. Asmodeus knew of her absence… what had gone on in those few weeks away? And more importantly… was she now a threat?

Pretending to regain his composure Asmodeus gave Lizzy a look up and down, an unnecessary motion as he had been observing her slow journey through the sands from afar for the last fifteen minute. “Where have you been Lizzy… you’ve changed your hair! Should I inform Gatobah… I’m sure he’ll be delighted to see you…”. Despite his jibes his preliminary question remained and he wanted it answered, where had she been?

[Akuhei the Demon of Death]

Morte had been watching Lizzy from afar, his keen eyes watching her movements. He had wondered were she had gone without telling anyone. Suddenly Asmodeus appeared with a sonido. Morte growled. He hated Asmodeus. He didn't know why, but every part of his being despised the Uno espada. He watched as Asmodeus stumbled backwards, and watched as the smirk grew on his face. From this distance he couldn't hear what Asmodeus had said.

He used a sonido to get within distance to hear what they were talking about. Hopefully they couldn't sense him. “Where have you been Lizzy… you’ve changed your hair! Should I inform Gatobah… I’m sure he’ll be delighted to see you…” He also wanted to know were Lizzy had dissapeared to. "Yes Lizzy, were have you been. Not cohorting with the enemy we hope." He said from behind one of the many sand dunes. He lifted his head above the dune he was hiding behind. "Or we might just have to do something we wont regret." His eyes seemed to travel over her. "My, my haven't you changed."

[Sleeps]

Almost as if it were instant Lizzy sword had slashed and left her wide open so she closed the opportunity quickly by charging up a Cero. After notice who he was, she fired it toward him but missing by only inches meaningfully. Just as Asmodeus began to smiled Lizzy then placed her right hand upward toward the sky make a gun shape with her hand, she then again powered up another cero, but this time with one finger and shot it behind her back toward were she felt the presents of another. Lizzy then placed her sword in her sheath, took a deep breath and dropped both arms down to her side and began to walk back to the castle like building which housed the three that stood in the middle of the sandy ocean.

Lizzy did not even say a word to Asmodeus it was not the fact that she did not want to speak to him, well she did even what to see him, but she no long went by the name. It was imposable for either one of them to know at that moment, but the name Lizzy would only live on as long as they could retain those memories. Though to Lizzy they were not memories that were nightmares, but it had seemed as If L had finally woken up and these fools who thought that their little game would still get the better of her would be damned if they thought it would ever happen again.

"Or we might just have to do something…”

Just as he had gotten that far in the sentence L had sonido right in front of him and had throw a punch but stopped just before impact. Before standing straight up and continuing her walk she whispered in his ear. “Boom….” She then stood up ward and placing her hands in her pocket and strolled toward the base. L had a feeling Asmodeus would get pissed from this, but she could care less what he felt. He was nothing more than a pawn the sat in front of her on the chess board, Asmodeus could go any way he want but he could never retreat. Morte on the other hand had something that made L want use him for her own gain. Thing is what was it L wanted to gain?

[Gahrok]

Asmodeus was genuinely shocked as the cero flew by him, this was definitely not the Lizzy of old. And showing even more poise and self-control she had purposefully missed, he furiously to hide his rage at not only being bested but also ignored in this encounter. Seething he growled as she moved past, his rage only building as she fired another shot into the dunes where, he guessed, another arrancar lay in observation. What had happened to that blundering easy-to-torment air-headed slut of a women that she once was? What was this new and determined Lizzy? It didn’t matter, he snarled to himself, she would have to pay for insulting him. She would have to pay for leaving without notice and attacking a commanding rank no less! She may have changed but she was not above the law of Las Noches nor was she above him. He would teach her yet…. what scum she truly was, what scum she truly remained.

She was strolling nonchalantly towards the castle with her hands in her pocket, Asmodeus sneered, self-importance was a trait designed for the ignorant, and despite the change that had come over her…. she was still that, an ignorant girl, all that had changed was her level of confidence.

“You will find no welcome there…” he called after her, “As you find none here…. If you have become the warrior you appear to be so valiantly trying to portray, come back and FIGHT. You will find the ice-queen calixta indifferent to whatever you have come to tell her, and you will find that here… I’m the law….. and I’ll always be numero uno.”[/b[

[Akuhei the Demon of Death]

Morte smirked as he moved his head, making the cero pass by mere inches. Suddenly, Lizzy was infront of him, her fist again mere inches from his face. Did she really think him that weak, that he might flinch? "Boom." Hearing this Morte broke into the laughter of a maniac. "We see you have changed more than just your looks, our little girly friend." He broke into another fit of cackles. He stopped when he heard the worm Asmodeus speak.

“You will find no welcome there...as you find none here…. If you have become the warrior you appear to be so valiantly trying to portray, come back and FIGHT. You will find the ice-queen calixta indifferent to whatever you have come to tell her, and you will find that here… I’m the law….. and I’ll always be numero uno.” His evil smile dropped like a bowling ball. Now he remembered why he hated Asmodeus. He thought, that because of his position, they all feared him. Morte didn't fear him, he feared nothing. He finally revealed himself to Asmodeus by standing atop his little dune. The corner of his mask that was left seemed to shine in the light of the sun, as well as off the white sand. His visable eye gleemed with the laughter he held inside.

"Yes, you will always be numero uno, at least, until we kill you. You are only making enemys Asmodeus, only enemys. You better enjoy your position while you can." More laughs. He jumped off towards Lizzy. How he loved taunting Asmodeus. "And actually she will find welcomes, it is you who finds no welcomes here, Asmodeus." To add fuel to the fire, he said one more thing. "Keep our seat warm for us. Don't die before we get a chance to kill you, alright?" His smile seemed even more maniacle than before. He once again laughed, though that soon died down into giggles as he neared Lizzy.

[Sleeps]

(>_<)
Morte had started to get closer toward her as she started to whisper to him. “Don’t take this the wrong way but, I was using you to make Asmodeus mad. I would have not just hit you like that for no reason.” A smile appeared on her face as she kept walking. “So about what you said, would you really try to kill him, because I’m really tempted to turn around and fight with or without you? So the question I’m asking is, should I just wait till you’re not around and fight him or shall this be the grave sight of somebody today.”

Lizzy made sure when she spoke to Morte that Asmodeus was not close enough to her it. But before she knew it Asmodeus was again talking out his ass. “My god Asmodeus
do you ever shut the hell up, damn. I have not seen you in weeks and yet you still act like a baby without its bottle.” ” Morte if he attacks get your distance I don’t want to see you get hurt over a Childs game of who’s better….you hear me!” she said as she kept up her slow but steady speed. During that hold time she did not even give a single look in Asmodeus direction.

((I'm going to assume this is open for Espada?))

Hina had sensed something quite odd. She was looking for someone to play with but no one seemed to be around, but off in the distance in the desert there was clash of spiritual power, all of Espada level. She sensed Asmodeus and one other. Another one who had let his? her? rage slip through. It was as if they were fighting. The other one she had not recognized. It was definitely of Espada level but Hina couldn't put her finger on who it was. Best thing to do was check it out.

Hina traveled by means of Sonido into the desert. Over the dune she saw cero blasts flying about but stop. She listened in on the conversation, and couldn't believe it. Asmodeus was always there for them and a great leader, always doing what he thought best for the Espada. With him being the higher rank Hina felt it her duty to abide by his orders. As the two renegade Espada walked towards Las Noches, Hina had to step in. She was of the lowest rank out here but with Asmodeus with her she felt invincible. With a quick Sonido a plume of sand shot up from her previous spot and she appeared in front of Lizzy and Morte.

"Lizzy. Why are you doing this? And Morte? You are both against the Espada. Against Asmodeus. That makes you my enemy. I don't understand..."

Very mature and strong words from the bold little girl. Now what was going to happen?

[Gahrok]

“Morte, despite your acclaimed insanity and bipolar tendencies…. I would’ve thought you capable of at least discerning fact from fiction. If you think treason shall go unreported… if you think rebellion shall stand here, and words of murder against the highest of your rank shall be tolerated, even by those who hate me…. you are a damn fool. But perhaps that’s your insanity once more taking hold? I’ve heard its quite potent….” The pair was not out of earshot yet, and could easily have heard his firmly spoken words despite the soft hiss of his serpents tongue.

“My god Asmodeus
do you ever shut the hell up, damn. I have not seen you in weeks and yet you still act like a baby without its bottle.”

Lizzy, that damned rodent of a women without brains nor brawns nor anything redeeming… and a mouth that always spoke her ignorant mind. Asmodeus grimaced frightfully. “How about you two turn around, and face me one at a time and we’ll goddamn well see… if you have the right to back your useless assertions and insinuations about one you’ve never even fought!” he paused for effect, “Or is it that you need to strike me when I’m down? Or do you even need more then 2 on 1 odds? Rather sad….”

Then he felt it, and a grin pervaded his lithe and evil features…. an ally, an ally!

"Lizzy. Why are you doing this? And Morte? You are both against the Espada. Against Asmodeus. That makes you my enemy. I don't understand..."

Asmodeus joined her by flash-stepping behind the pair, he gave her a wink. Beautiful timing, it really was.

“They are traitors Hina, the girl has left without absence and came back attacking without a word…. and the man speaks of murdering me, who would be next on his agenda? These power hungry traitors will do anything…”

[Akuhei the Demon of Death]

Morte laughed as Asmodeus tried to insult him, then laugh even more as Lizzy insulted him. Such usless words against one such as him. "We are the fool Asmodeus? If we fall today, we will not be the last to try to take you down. And, yes, our insanity is quite potent. We will show you how potent it is." He then sensed another presence. Hina had come, and she had decided to side with Asmodeus.

"Hina, do not listen to him. He is the one against the espada, against Hueco Mundo. Lizzy has the right to leave, she is not some child that needs tending." He sneered at Asmodeus. He then pointed his zanpakuto, his gauntlet at Asmodeus. "If we let him continue to lead, he would eventually try to bring down the royal family, and try to destroy all of us. HE IS THE TRAITOR! And he must die this day. If you side with him, you are also a traitor." He knew there was little chance Hina would listen to him over that of Asmodeus, the snake.

"Do you wish to be a traitor, Hina?" He turned back to Lizzy and whispered, "If she doesn't side with us, we'll take Asmodeus. You take Hina." He knew somebody was probably going to die today, and if not, it would mean he would be counted as a traitor as well as Lizzy. If they weren't, he would be grateful, which was something Morte never was. If he wasn't a traitor, it meant he could get a chance to one day stab Asmodeus in the back.

[Sleeps]

A welcome it was the quite dessert that she had came to train in was now chalk full of battle ready beings. As much as L wanted to see Asmodeus lose his seat as number one, she was not ready to fight any of the others. Morte may have seemed a tad bit cocky at times but all in all he knew right from wrong. Hina, the girl knows stood in front of her blocking her way, was in her own way special to L even if she did not know it. Every time she looked at her she could not help but to think her younger sister.

L looked down at the youthful looking Espada, L’s green eyes gazed into hers as she thought about what was about to happen, she also listened to the stories of which Asmodeus spoke. If L let this continue only bad things would come out of this, and L could not let that happen. The only reason she had tried to change was so that she could stand up for what was right. Yet it seemed that all it did was make it harder on everyone else.

"Lizzy. Why are you doing this? And Morte? You are both against the Espada. Against Asmodeus. That makes you my enemy. I don't understand..."

‘What is there to understand, it has been a while, and most of us have not seen action, it’s in our blood to fight even if we don’t like it.” LIzzy then turned around and looked an Asmodues her narrow green eyes looked him up and down. As she turn her body around placing out her right hand as if she was holding someone back from getting in this. He then disappeared and reappeared only feet away from her and Morte position.

“They are traitors Hina, the girl has left without absence and came back attacking without a word…. and the man speaks of murdering me, who would be next on his agenda? These power hungry traitors will do anything…”

L began to laugh as she heard this it sound more or less like a Childs giggles. Her hand the dropped to her side as she took a step toward him. “If I remember I was here first, and you jumped in front of me if anyone was to blame it was…..” she paused for a second before speaking again. “Ah yea sorry I forgot your name, but please don’t get mad remember I’m only a lowly Espada. As far a Morte goes he just might get you pretty good!” L then took yet another step forward. She was now only inches away from Asmodeus as she looked up ward her head barely reaching his chest. Even if she were to stand on her tip toes she would still have a hard time reaching his chin height.

"Hina, do not listen to him. He is the one against the espada, against Hueco Mundo. Lizzy has the right to leave; she is not some child that needs tending."

L quickly looked over at Morte her fist was balled up as she face showed an intense glare. “Don’t call me that!” she said in a soft yet kind sound voice. L head then turned back to the one she hated the most. Her hand loosened as shook her head her bangs fell over her eyes as her hair rested in front of her shoulders, with a tad bit hang from the back. Focusing everything else out she looked on at Asmodues without saying a word. Her mind was at ease, her hard times were over this was it, and never again will she go back to being the weakly cry baby she once was.

[Gahrok]

((Order: Sleeps, Kazama, Me, Kaju.. meaning next is Kazama, though I'm sure you all deduced that XD)

[Kazama]

Hina listened to all of them tell her different things that she couldn't grasp. It only made her more confused, but it would soon seem to be obvious who her enemy really was. Asmodeus's words were what Hina had suspected. Morte and Lizzy were supposedly traitors and the highest rank Espada here had pronounced it. But words to come after were what Hina had become confused.

Lizzy's words made somewhat sense to hr. Hina had at least grasped the fact that Lizzy didn't truly want to fight, which meant she wasn't after anything so Hina only saw Morte as the true enemy here. and as he spoke his words Hina felt hate and spite towards him. Her face went sour and the pupils of her eyes sharpened and slimmed, the hatred and rage within her little body caused her eyes to become fierce, intimidating, cat-like.

"LIAR!"

Hina screamed at the top of her lungs directed at Morte.She disappeared in the sound of a bullet and a plume of sand shot up. She appeared in mid-air between Lizzy and Morte, in front of Asmodeus, and was facing Morte. She let out a loud and high pitched screech, original to her as she used Parvulo Maullido and disappeared in another bullet shot into the unknown desert, as quick and nimble as the feline, the stealthiest Espada has chosen her prey and she is pissed.

Parvulo Maullido-Little Meow: A loud screeching sound wave that she can direct at someone, so it will only affect her enemies. It disorients them, disabling them on the battlefield for a short time. By disorient, I mean they become dizzy and can only hear ringing. It may confuse and throw off anyone but it only lasts a short while(1 post in battle if direct hit. Minimal affect, can recover next post if not direct). The wave also blasts her opponent back as if they were hit with a big force, it does not do much physical damage unless they get hurt from roughage.

[Gahrok]

((My apologies for the quality of this, It’s my first week back and I’m lacking sleep, time and energy to do anything but work… I didn’t want to keep you waiting though so here… don’t judge))

Asmodeus stood, hard as it was for him, passively as Morte defamed him.. turned his words against him, called him the traitor. Justified his treason. It really didn’t matter he thought, as they began to address Hina, who was right… and who wrong. All that mattered was victory, and with victory fame… and with fame truth. Because only winners write the history books….

You think you can kill me? Is it because of this serpents tongue… this constant maneuvering and politicing that has gotten me so far? Don’t you know Morte… he sneered in his mind, that I am not the highest espada for this tongue nor this wit….

“If I remember I was here first, and you jumped in front of me if anyone was to blame it was…..” she paused for a second before speaking again. “Ah yea sorry I forgot your name, but please don’t get mad remember I’m only a lowly Espada. As far a Morte goes he just might get you pretty good!”

Lizzy had finally addressed him, a poor jab… but its uncharacteristic host shocked him, what had happened to that girl? She was even MORE irritating now that she had that smart mouth…. he shook his head… why was it always the pretty ones? He gave her an incredulous look as she walked towards him, dwarfed by his stature. He looked down with a grin and puckered his white lips…

“Come to give me a kiss honey? Usually people aren’t so… inviting… of people whose names they do not even know. But then again LIZZY…” he stressed her name with a hiss, having noticed how it bothered her. “You are known around this parts to be very “inviting”…. which reminds me… where is your old customer… Gatobah?”

Asmodeus raised an eyebrow as Hina screamed, and his lips began to curl in his sinister smile. What an invaluable girl…. he’d have to remember her loyalty, she’d go far if she was willing to ally herself with Asmodeus. True shock flashed across his features as he saw the girl with incredibly speed fire her attack and disappeared once more… what luck, he thought gleefully… she wasn’t half bad!

Realizing that Lizzy was probably about to throw a hissy fit or at least a knee to the old crotch region Asmodeus grinned evilly with wild eyes down upon her, “It appears you’ve lost your chance…. I don’t fool around with the enemy.”

In a split second Asmodeus ripped the dagger from his sleeve and thrust the poisonous blade downwards at her.

[Akuhei the Demon of Death]

Morte knew his word had no chance against Asmodeus, at least in most cases. He was said to be the "strongest" espada, though Morte didn't believe that. "LIAR!" After that, he knew an attack was coming. He didn't expect it to be a loud screech in his face after Hina had dissapeared. His head spun, and his body was pushed backwards, but he was not one to be taken by such an attack. He shook it off, but she had already dissapeared.

Morte smiled. Oh well, he would have to kill her he guessed. He had no quelms about killing her, unlike he was sure the lightheared Lizzy would. He had killed many in his time as a human, even many more in his time as a Hollow. He had three minds, all insane. There was nothing that would make him hesitate in killing the brat. Well, maybe one thing.

"We'll go for the little brat, as we're sure you can handle the filth." He took off with speed, a litle less than what Hina had took off with, in search for his prey. She might think her stealth would help her, but stealth isn't everything when you have senses like a wolf. He stopped, and sniffed the air. His manic smile spread across his face as he aimed his hand in one direction. One side wanted to capture and torture her, the other wanted to kill her quickly, and the last didn't say a thing. He two agreed they needed to kill her quickly and get back to help Lizzy.

He used his Perforación Magnífica Cero, and shot it in the direction he had smelled Hina. If he had been accurate, even with her speed it would be hard to dodge. "Die you feline bitch."

( you might think that Morte shook it off too quick, but I think with multiple personalitys that dizzyness would be spread evenly throughout them, and he could shake it off much quicker)
