The real fight starts now! Kitaro vs Zento.

Waiting... Waiting... Waiting... That was all that was going through Zento the janitors mind. Standing on top of Las Noches. The moon shining over him as he looked down over the great White Sand Desert. Zento's arms were crossed. His mask fragment covering the upper half of his face. Wind blowing from the right of Zento. His hair going over his eyes. Waiting. The other espada were off fighting other than Zento. The first espada. He was left behind guarding Las Noches from anyone to come inside. He would feel all around for the reiatsu of others. He would breath in his nose and out his mouth. His heart rate calm and collected. He would protect his home for whatever the cost. Even at his own life, Zento will fight and keep his home safe. He would step off of one of the towers. Falling down to big dome of Las noches and then slowing down and landing softly on the dome. His hands in his pockets. His top hat tilted forward. The shadow covering his face. A smile can only be seen. Step by step Zento started moving forward.

It's time. Any moment now they will start. The question is, when will I hear the first bombs of the war go off in Las Noches? Zento thought to himself. He was at the edge of the dome. Standing perfectly still again. Slouched down a bit with his hands still in his pockets. He watched the calmness of the White Sand Desert. The shadows of the pillers around him. He looked around. The shadow of the hat still covering his face. He took one hand out of his pocket and pointed it up to the sky. "I will fight for you. To protect my home. Las Noches." He spoke calmly. Speaking to fight for his king of Las Noches. He looked deeply into the desert. Still keeping an eye out for the first sight of bombs going off or for that first sword to but swung at him. He was ready for the fight of his life.

As it were the Captains and Espada were battling in Karakura town. Kitaro had been sent to secure the castle of Las Noches and so it would seem that an Espada had been left to guard it. If for whatever reason the battle was inconclusive above, in the world of the living, then there would be a struggle for power among the subordinate level of the losing side and, of course, the war could never end. Especially with one large elite level battle. Thus the control of the enemy stronghold with an elite level warrior would be a major play. Even if the victory was assured, control of the enemy stronghold was the next objective and would provide much trouble for an army to come in and have another major battle after the elite warriors took care of one another up in Karakura town.

So upon reaching Las Noches through the portal created by Senkaimon Kitaro stepped out calmly. His zanpaktou resting easily at his side and humming as if peaceful. A quiet moment of solace before the radar-like sensing of reiatsu took place and took up a significant portion of Kitaro's attention to pinpoint the most powerful arrancar pressure within the area. Having found it on top of the dome Kitaro registered his opponent in his mind and cracked his neck. Then dissapeared.

Kitaro soon re-appeared in Zento's face with his zanpaktou unsheathed in a straight cutting move that would rise from the lower left section of Zento's torso to the upper right section and curve near the shoulder not to lodge within the shoulder blade but rather to slice around the shoulder blade bifurcating the enemy's shoulder but mostly cutting the central region of the torso into two, separate yet equal pieces, just like how the blacks and white were during segregation way back in the time of Johnathan Carver during a brief and hilarious visit in the United States involving a bullet.

So, Kitaro sliced as he was re-appearing in front of Zento and by the time he was fully visible with his captains robe flashing behind his back and yet not revealing the symbol of division written on it. Doing so Kitaro had been able to directly speak the double incantation for Hyapporankan and Soren Sokatsui to create a wide area technique that would obliterate and seal the movement of anyone that was in front of him, which left a strong option to come around from behind using the famed Sonido technique. So while the techniques of Kido were blasting with Hado and Bakudo in front of him with full incantation effect Kitaro spun behind him slashing vertically at the first moving thing in his perception of spiritual energy as well as vision before creating a block of reshi and quick-stepping to the standing point of his creation directly next to the dome, to observe his handiwork.

Zento smiled. His shadow lifting up and clashing with the opponents blade and throwing it to fly up and over Zento. The espada would then use the shadows of his feet to drill down into las Noches. Getting away from the kidou and the attack from behind. Zento's lower half now looking like a drill, he flipped and shot back through right under his shinigami foe. And with a cero in hand. blasting out and then landing on top of the dome. "What a way to say hello to your opponent. My name is Zento. I am espada number one. Who are you?" He asked his opponent. Zento had a friendly smile and then put his hand out. He would then have a dark cero. Black with a dark purple color outlining it He would charge it and then in a quick sonido, Zento would be standing right over the man. His cero firing out down. The cero was huge. Covering where the man was and his whole body. Then looked at where he was and then the shadown covering his face shot out and with a whole group of needles, shot out around the cero to widen the range of the attack. Making it even harder to doge.
