Dietor could only scoff at what had just happened. He had been expecting Ulquiorra to deflect Dietor's silver Cero with a blast of his own, along with a number of other possible reactions from the Cuarto Espada, but what Ulquiorra had done after that had actually caught him by surprise. He could only watch in slight dismay as his opponent turned his back on him and went soaring up to the "sky" of Las Noches, only to go bursting through it and up to the true sky of perpetual night belonging to Hueco Mundo as a whole. It was enough to make Dietor narrow his eyes curiously at the hole Ulquiorra had just gone through to the outside, his grip tightening irritably around the grips of his zanpakutou knives. "Curiouser and curiouser..." the assassin muttered under his breath.

There could only be one reason for why Ulquiorra, one of the Big Four of the Espada, would retreat so hastily up to the roof of Las Noches. And Dietor had a feeling that reason made this "training session" into something more than it appeared to be. His mouth twisted into a slight scowl at the thought, although it was concealed by his mask fragment. "I suppose it'd be frowned upon if I just left this farce..." he muttered again, his tone wrought with the suspiscion that he was being pulled along by secret strings. "Ah well... Can't be helped."

So with that, Dietor heaved a disgruntled sigh and then went soaring higher and higher until the reached the hole in Las Noches' ceiling that Ulquiorra had created. As soon as he passed through it and landed on top of Las Noches' roof, he was immediately greeted by an overwhelmingly powerful reiatsu that was coming from the top of a nearby tower, which was belonged unmistakably to Ulquiorra. His eyes took in the sight of the black cloud surrounding the Espada with little reaction, his arms crossing over his chest as his body became pelted with a harsh rain of green spiritual energy. Not even the sight of Ulquiorra standing there in his released form, complete with his enormous wings and helm of bone, seemed to startle him in the slightest. The only reaction Dietor gave as an arch of a single eyebrow and an almost quizzical look in his gaze.

"Training, you say." he replied to Ulquiorra. "You keep saying that this is merely training, yet you're being awfully quick to enter your Resurrección. I had been expecting more of a fight down below before coming to this." he continued, his tone becoming more and more disappointed with each syllable that came from his lips. "Well... Forgive me for saying this, but my own Resurrección is not something to be wasted on training like this. It is not a tool for outlandish, unnecessary, and juvenile displays of power and bravado. Contrary to what I keep hearing from the likes of Grimmjow, Tentou, and Nnoitra." he finished with a stern glare thrown up straight at Ulquiorra's face. He let his arms lower down to his sides, the curved blades of his knives glinting sharply under the pale moonlight, and his feet shifted into a combat stance. "If I am truly deserving of my role in Las Noches... Then I shouldn't need to release my blades so suddenly and so soon."

That was when Dietor suddenly tensed his legs and then launched himself at Ulquiorra with nearly everything that he had. It was as if he had been shot out of an enormous cannon, a cacophonic BOOM! rattling the air as Dietor's body tore through it. He crossed both of his knives in front of him, their blades gleaming hungrily in the moonlight, and then he suddenly slashed out with one of them as soon as he came within range of Ulquiorra's neck. The knife in his left hand soon followed and attempted to carve a bloody line into the Esapda's torso with an upwards slash, the motion causing Dietor's body to pivot to the right before he swung a roundhouse kick with his heel at the side of Ulquiorra's ribs. A kick that was meant to launch Dietor's opponent backwards (if it connected) so he could appear behind Ulquiorra and then stab him in the back with both knives.

Shana smiled as she re-sealed her weapon, feeling elated at how much stronger she'd gotten. She knew something was eating at Tenntou, but she also knew better than to pester the current Quinta, and former Octava, Espada with questions.

"Um...that's new." Nel said, pointing towards Koichi, who'd just called out his mask.

As for Yoruichi's Zanpakutou, the panther didn't even try to dodge. It instead chose to grab hold of Daisuke's right arm in its jaw as its wielder flickered behind the Division Two member.


"Where are you looking?" she asked.

She followed her question with a series of blows, intent on making Daisuke call out his Bankai. While she did that, Kureha played with her master, like two kids playing a deadly version of tag. Taunting Koichi, the chocolate-haired cat-girl of a Zanpakutou playfully waggled her backside at him, teasing, trying to unleash a hidden store of power in her master.

Which the boy proceeded to do.


"So...that's how it is, eh?" he said, his words warbled. "Then have a taste of something I learned from Grimmjow-Sama!!"

He held out his hand and smirked beneath his mask as an orb of icy-blue reiatsu began to form in the palm of his hand, smaller bolts of it veering away from him in what was clearly the beginnings of a Gran Rey Cero.

Ulquiorra allowed himself to take most of the hits, with Dietor's kick being faster than he'd been able to track. Just before the knives would've impaled him, the Quarta Espada slammed a wing into their path, intending on sending Dietor skidding across the white sands. Even as he did so, a single hand reached around and aimed a solitary finger at the boy, a small ball of deep emerald energy forming, ready to fire if the wing missed.

Even if that were to fail, Ulquiorra still had a few tricks up his sleeve, including a Resurreccion form that not even Dietor would know about, a form he was not going to use unless he was pushed that far.


"Know this." he said as he swung his wing. "Training you while in Resurreccion was an order from Aizen-Sama. I would prefer to save it for a more appropriate time."

Tenntou looked at Shana, "Is there something you wish to ask?" she asked as she leaned up against one of the half destroyed pillars. "You are smiling too, you never have done that even when I first started training and you got put under me. What is going on in your mind..." Tenntou's voice drifted off as she shook her head heading into the tower wondering if Shana would accompany her. She wished to see Aizen to see what he had in store.

Jin disappeared from his spot standing next to Nelliel, moving faster than eyes could follow. He reappeared behind Koichi, Shuzuka Hayashi already released and extended between Kochi's hands. A grin formed on his lips as he watched, with no small amount of satisfaction, as the cero subsided into nothingness, it's energies dispersed by his zanpakuto's power. "As much as I like seeing you improve, Koichi," Jin chuckled, "I would advise against you discharging that here. I don't care for collateral damage."

Pierce paused with Jin's interruption, the distraction leading to him getting a fist square in the face. The blow, combined with him not having his feet planted, threw him back several feet. Picking himself up and dusting himself off, he waved to Jin. "Hey Jin," he shouted out, rubbing his cheek a little, "whatcha up to?"

"Checking on your progresses," Jin responded as he pulled his sword out from inbetween Koichi's hands. It glowed a pale green as it shimmered back into its sealed form. Turning to Yoruichi, he nodded in acknowledgment as he sheathed his sword. "So, how does it go?" He couldn't help but note Kureha's manifestation out of the corner of his eye. If she was given to have the same attitude most manifested zanpakuto had, she was probably bound to be upset by the interruption.

Dietor couldn't help but feel a grim sort of satisfaction when he felt his blades cut into Ulquiorra's flesh. The wounds that they would leave behind would only be superficial, especially considering the Cuarto's powers of regeneration, but they had only served as a diversion for Dietor's kick to slip through and find its mark. There was a loud and almost sickening "CRACK!" as Dietor's heel slammed into the side of Ulquiorra's ribs and sent the Espada reeling backwards across the white sands, leaving his back exposed just long enough for Dietor to appear suddenly behind and aim his twin knives right at the spot between Ulquiorra's black wings. The predatory gleam in the assassin's eyes shone fiercely as the tips of his knives closed the gab between himself and his opponent's unguarded flesh.

However, the twitch of movement from Ulquiorra's right wing caught Dietor's attention and forced him to change his tactics at the last moment. Rather than risk being swatted like a bothersome fly, Dietor instead angled his body downwards and to the side so that he went sailing right beneath the wing just as Ulquiorra swung it at him. The motion allowed him to rotate his body so that his back was facing the ground, his eyes staring keenly up at the blazing ball of emerald light gathering at the tip of Ulquiorra's finger.

And that was when Dietor's new tactic changed even further.

With a sudden motion that was both powered by raw speed and by Sonido, Dietor suddenly lashed out again with the blade of his knife and aimed a horizontal slash upward at Ulquiorra. One that was meant to sever the finger pointing that emerald Cero at him. If it worked, then Dietor would use his other hand to snatch the finger out of the air and then point it and the gathering Cero right at Ulquiorra so it would go off in his face instead of Dietor's. And if it didn't...

Well...

The only thing Dietor could do that in that even was to continue sailing past Ulquiorra and hope that he was faster than that Cero of his. He may have been the one appointed by Aizen to monitor and even kill any member of the Espada if it was absolutely necessary, but that didn't change the fact that a Cero fired from an Espada in their released form was still a lot stronger than a Cero fired from their sealed form. Especially when Dietor had chosen to remain in his own sealed form for the time being.

If he did fail to cut off Ulquiorra's finger and turn his own Cero against him, and if he also managed to evade Ulquiorra's Cero on top of that, then Dietor would simply continue to put distance between himself and his opponent. With his back still parallel to the sands, he would bring his legs up to his stomach and then vault himself backwards into the air before landing into a couch on a clear section of sand. After that, he doubted that he would have any more time to do anything else before Ulquiorra would make his next move.
