O'Malley suddenly bolted out of the way, slashing a piece of the mask off, as well as a chunk of her face, as he hissed,
"Your understanding is limited, apprently. I'm not an idiot, so I had my friend and myself water-proofed, outside and in."
His eye then narrowed as it began to glow, and he stated in his disturbingly cold voice,
"And I have no care for the young one. If you must be termianted, then I won't mourn for her. She probably would've wanted to make sure you went down with her anyway."
His lightsaber then extended, and he barreled forward quickly, ramming his whole bulk into Cynder's and sending her flying backwards. O'Malley then fired off several rounds from his foreamr blasters as Spite fired off twin blasts from his Plasma Cannons, each hitting dead-on. Spite fired off several maser blasts into the smoke before the two floated next to eachother, preparing themselves.
I don't wanna kill her though... she's just an innocent child... Spite thought.
* * * * *
Shive opened his maw and hissed again at the Gillian as dark-red energy began spiraling into his right claw. The Gillian were smart enough to know what that was...
But Shive wanted to kick it up a notch.
Pressurized wind began swirling into his cupped hands, wrapping around the charging Cero as the two slowly built in power, Shive cackling madly.
"It's true, I am no Hollow. I am Vizard, stronger than Vasto Lorde or Shinigami captain! YOU CAN'T HOPE TO KILL ME!"
He then threw his arms forward and fired the Cyclonic Cero, the blast riping through each of the remaining Gillian before slamming into Cynder herself and pushing her beneath the waves. Shive hissed in pleasure as his claws twitched, in anticipation of ripping out vital organs...
* * * * *
Artecaex coughed and heaved, turning a bit green as he glanced over at Myrr.
Hope... she wakes up soon... He thought, before vomiting and passing out.
((And yes, the Cero will affect either Shinigami or a fellow Hollow. I've seen an Arrancar use it on another Arrancar effectively))

Hollow Cynder erupted from the water, her blood leaking out as the Hollow dragon snarled.
"damn it! damn you all... I'll be back... Gillian, retreat!"
The Menos Grande backed away from the Vizard, opening portals back into Hueco Mundo.
"Flame Fury!" The wave of fire pulsed in all directions, forcing all parties except for Artecaex and Myrr to cover themselves. The attack was merely a distraction, allowing Hollow Cynder to fly away unhindered.
As she flew, the Hollow cursed whatever luck she had.
'damn it, I should have put the dragon's bane to his neck, not Myrr's! If he would turn out to be such a problem, I wouldn't have made that mistake...
...
Well... There is next time...
SKEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!'
Myrr coughed, her eyes opening half way.
"Ugh... What happened... Who saved me?"

Shive growled, his mask splintering into nothingness and evaporating away. He gasped, then fell straight into the water, unconscious. O'Malley sighed, dove under the water, and hauled the dragonkin back onto shore, shaking his head. He launched into the sky with his brother, muttering,
"We need a real challenge, Spite. So we can test that ability..."
The two vanished, leaving the dragonkin on the shore, shivering unconsciously.
* * * * *
Artecaex croaked in his pained, passed-out state, now literally green in a few spots.

Myrr managed to sit up, but had lean to one side, vomitting from exposure to the dragon's bane.
"damn it... how'd she get her claws on a piece of that stuff... Hollow or not, it should have been impossible for her to even go near it, let alone touch it... And... Father never got to develop cures for exposure for the draconic beings living at the time, even if they were still few and far between...
All I can do is wait for my body to recover on its own, and thank whatever lucky stars I have that it wasn't long enough to be fatal. Ugh..." The half dragon, over come by another wave of sickness, laid back down, coughing violently.
'Shive... if you're around here still, I hope you can find me... Solranous... can help purge... the energy from the dragon's bane...' she thought, hoping the dragonkin would come.

Artecaex slowly began to attempt to rise to his feet, staggering under his own weight. He heard Myrr's thoughts and grunted in pain, aiming his claw at her. His yellow eyes were dimmer than usual as he swayed, growling,
"Hold on a sec... I got it..."
Gray particles began to swirl out of the patch on Myrr's neck where the bane had touched, and shortly after, the half-dragon was clean. Artecaex grunted and collapsed back onto his stomach, sides heaving slowly and painfully as he began to work on his own ailment.
"I-assume-you're-his-daughter-then?" he asked Myrr wheezingly.

"Yeah... How do you know him?" Myrr asked the crimson dragon, sitting up.
Meanwhile, a certain emerald dragon farther away sighed, finishing up another training bout.
"It's increasing everyday... Maybe I should look for that one person I remember noticing my first time in Soul Society, he seemed extremely strong and would be a good person to guage my power against. Besides, I kind of like having strong opponents so I don't get rusty for a really evil foe."

Artecaex panted as his eyes turned towards Myrr, then turned away.
"Well... his creator, Armageddon, got his design from a prior experiment one of the demon's colleagues made... in other words, me. I'm your father's predecessor..."
His eyes closed in pain as the last of the dragon's bane was purged from his system, and he pulled himself onto his shins, panting. He glanced back at the other side of the lake, and muttered,
"Your boyfriend's on the other side, passed out. He'll wake up soon, but he'll be tired."
He spread his wings for take-off.
((If ya wanna fight Zaraki, ya gotta go to Soul Society. >.>))

(OOC: I know, look more closely before you say something [points to Soul Society sub-board])
Myrr was curious by the crimson dragon's answer, but didn't pursue the matter further.
"Before you go, thank you..." she said, before she left to go to Shive's side, letting Artecaex take off peacefully.

((I know! I saw it shortly after I posted! *puts on the Brown Bag of Shame*))
Artecaex nodded wordlessly before turning around, only to stop dead in his tracks. Two small pin-pricks of light burned out of the darkness of the trees, and they narrowed at Artecaex. The ruby dragon shook visibly as the unholy voice of the Patriarch hissed,
"ARTECAEX! ARE YOU AWARE OF YOUR FOLLY THIS TIME?"
Artecaex took an unintentional step backwards, and suddenly, the lich was behind him. He gasped and turned around, facing the lich once more.
"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP HELPING PEOPLE. YOU'RE GOING TO BE KILLING THEM SOON ANYWAY."
Tendrils of sickly-green energy erupted from his palm and stabbed into Artecaex's chest, lifting him into the air as he coughed out blood, pain coursing through every nerve in his body.
"I'm willing to give you one last chance: Either knock this off, or I'm turning you into a dracolich."
Artecaex's eyes shrank, and he managed to wheeze out,
"Y-yes sir. I-it won't happen again."
The tendrils vanished, and the red dragon hit the ground, vomiting more blood.
"Good. Now come, you and your new associates have work to do..."
Artecaex cocked an eyebrow, then paused as three other shapes emerged from the darkness, their eyes glowing menacingly. The Patriarch smirked liplessly, as al five members then vanished abruptly.
* * * * *
Shive's eyes slowly slid open, and he groaned, clutching his head.
"Well, it's nowhere near as bad as last time, but it hurts like hell..." He muttered.
He looked up, searching the area for Myrr, worried.
