They Advance!
Jasutin drove his sword forward with an intent to finish Getsugami. As Jasutin's sword advanced towards Getsugami's stomach, Getsugami managed to barely dodged it, but was still scratched by Jasutin's blade. Getsugami countered Jasutin's sword and leaped backward.
"Damn, I almost had you!" Jasutin yelled.
"Almost, but not quite." Getsugami calmly replied.
Jasutin tried to catch his breath, and during this moment he came up with a plan to finish this fight for good. Suddenly the ground started to shake slightly with the sound of an explosion.
"What the hell was that?!" Je yelled looking towards the entrance.
"Come with me Je!" Ashido commanded.
Jasutin was about to go join his friends in what all the commotion was about, but Getsugami stopped him by throwing his sword. Jasutin looked towards Getsugami.
"We are not done yet." Getsugami said while he walked past Jasutin.
Getsugami grabbed his sword, and in that moment Jasutin tried to strike his back. Getsugami grabbed his sword and kicked Jasutin in the chest sending him to the ground before Jasutin managed to land a blow. Jasutin quickly retaliated as tired and exhausted as he was. Ashido and Je finally made it out to the entrance of the cave; only to find an army of Menos Grande with about ten Adjuchas at their feet, and the one who looked like he was leading them stepped forward.
"So we found you." The leading Adjuchas said to them.
Almost immediately after he was done talking he was killed with an arrow from one of Je's arrows.
"We don't really have time to chit chat." Je said soon after.
Ashido dived into the horde of hollows dispatching one after the other. Je providing support from afar firing and dodging ceros fired from the Menos Grande. The Adjuchas proved a bigger challenge pushing Ashido back and making life uneasy for Je though after a few moments about three Adjuchas and multiple menos lie dead. Je continued to dispatch the hollows one after another, Ashido chopping away at the hollows killing one after the other while holding back the Adjuchas.
"They are advancing!" Ashido called out to Je.
Ashido soon regrouped with Je and prepared to give another assault to the army of hollows. Many of the smaller hollows tried the futile attempt at overwhelming the two.
"Jasutin better hurry up with his training we need him out here!" Je said to Ashido.
"Even if he did finish his training he would be too exhausted to fight." Ashido replied
"Damn!" Je retorted.
They killed off more of the smaller hollows and an Adjuchas that was unfortunate to try and take both of them on at once. Soon after killing the adjuchas the menos fired more ceros upon them Ashido dodged them, but when Je tried jump left out the way he was intercepted by another cero which landed a soild hit on his right shoulder.
Ashido picked Je up of the ground.
"We need to retreat back into the cave." Ashido killed two more hollows as they slowly made thier way back into the cave.

The Death Piercer!
“I can stand on my own Ashido!” Je said while Ashido was carrying him. Ashido set him down and caught his breath. “Damn hollows. They are not too far behind, we will be in the cavern soon enough.” Je said while regaining his balance.
“Oh, and if you think a cero is going to finish me you are quite mistaken.” Je said to Ashido. “Well, aren’t you cocky?” Ashido replied as he stood up. A hollows roar interrupted their conversation. “They are closing in we need to move.” Ashido said to Je. “Right, lets go.” Je followed after Ashido.
Je, and Ashido continued into the vast cave to the area that Jasutin was training, but when they got there he was gone. “Where is Jasutin and Getsugami?!” Je said to Ashido A hollow was closing in and they turned to face the approaching foe. Je quickly saw the hollows form and put multiple arrows into it. “At least the menos can’t come inside the cave.” Ashido said to Je. “But the Adjuchas can.” Je replied back.
One of the Adjuchas clashed with Ashido, and soon the entrance to the training cavern was overwhelmed by hollows. Je tried to keep his distance and dispatch the Adjuchas leaders, but the defense proved quite great.
Ashido was fighting two Adjuchas at once and was holding his own against them. “I can’t hold out for long. I have no choice, but to use my shikai.” Ashido said to himself. “Damn, if only they could not have brought so many hollows with them.” Je yelled out to Ashido. Ashido prepared to say the release phrase to his zanpakuto. Suddenly a familiar voice rang out across the cavern.
“ BANKAI! SHINIGETSUGAMI!” Dust and rubble spewed forth from the center of the cavern. Quickly Ashido saw that the two Adjuchas in that was attacking him were cut in half. “Buraindinguraito!” Ashido and Je were blinded by an immense light from within the hollow horde. Suddenly everything was quiet. Soon Ashido, and Je regained their vision, and before them stood Jasutin surrounded by the corpses of the hollows; the ground laid blood-soaked. Jasutin turned towards his friends to say something. Ashido noticed that Jasutin’s zanpakuto looked similar, but was longer, not as wide as his shikai form. Jasutin had also gained a black trench coat that adorned his shihakusho.
“Where were you five minutes ago!” Je yelled at Jasutin. “Asleep until I heard you complaining about some hollows. Hehehe.” Jasutin said. Jasutin was still majorly injured from his fight with Getsugami. Jasutin tried to walk towards his friends, but exhaustion took hold and he fell to the ground.
