 Lewis Carroll
Hatter, Adviser, Madman The girl, the one Raven called her "sister" grabbed hold of Carroll as soon as she realized what was up. Grunting, he felt her drive him under her for a pressing attack, in the most literal of terms. Grunting, his body stuck in the ground, or rather, between it and the armored assailant, he felt his breathing become more labored. Either she knocked the wind out of him, likely, or she injured, possibly fracturing something in his chest. That option was also very likely. Instead of focusing on the pain though, deciding it wasn't important, he grinned beneath her. "Well that hurt quite a bit. But let's see how well you conduct electricity in all that armor, shall we? Hado #37, Tsuzuri Raiden!" He laughed, body sparking as the lightening formed from his hand, and if she didn't pry herself away from his maniacal grip, Faun would find herself at the receiving end of the attack.

Xamthos came out of his own Enjitsu feet...er, yeah let's call them his feet...first. the hands that were in place of the conventional body part were open wide so as to grab the first solid thing he happened to land on. It was by sheer happenstance that his entry into Yggdrasil was less than ten feet above where Faun and the Hatter were wrestling. He recognized the former instantly, and could only gather that the latter was the one on bottom from the fact that he'd heard so much about the fact that he was there. Two and two makes four. But, as previously stated, his feet-hands were wide open and flat to privide a hood grip for branches or a solid and stable stance for flat surfaces. Really, sometimes he wondered why more people weren't built like him. Twice as many ways to grip and hold and not fall, and his tail had a whole host of uses unto itself that made Batman's utility belt look like a child's cheap joke. It was a shame, then that Faun's armored back broke his fall. The impact of him landimg on her while she was on top of Sir Lewis Carroll, was every bit as jarring as someone of his size and power would be if they fell from roughly ten feet above you and landed on you while neither you nor the person tangled up in you were expecting anything of the sort. ((Damn, and here I was hoping both of the other two would decide to follow, considering that it's about to be two surrounded by half a dozen Captains...and we still have no idea which side that cat is gonna be on. Either way, here's hoping that that landing is enough to more or less break Carrol's concentration on his kido))

Kiyoshi Itō The Ðog Katena  "You know those dogs whose bark is worse than their bite? .•:´¨•☆ •.¸¸.•´´¯`• •´¯`´•.¸¸.•☆ •¨´:•.
Kiyoshi came out of the portal, but not with the grace that Xamthos did. The Dog Katena smacked hard against the ground as he fell. Although the fall was not large, the pain serum Hakora had injected into the Dog still had the effect of making the pain from the small feel like he had broken every rib in his body as his chest rested against the ground. As the pain subsided, Kiyoshi lifted himself up and saw Xamthos, Faun, and the Hatter in the area. As Happy as Kiyoshi was to see his brother and sister, he knew that he could not rest here. Raven had been left alone in the Soul Society and Kiyoshi could not leave her there by herself.
Kiyoshi panted, "Xamthos, take care of things here if you would. I have to go help Raven and deal with those Shinigami". Kiyoshi said as he held his hand out in front of him. Although Kiyoshi was weakened, he felt the energies of the Yagrassil. Since this was a spiritually rich environment, Kiyoshi could already feel his powers returning to him. After a few moments, Kiyoshi's lost Zanpakuto materialized in his hand.
Kiyoshi was not entirely sure that he could activate his Bankai in his weakened state, he only hoped that he had enough power left to activate at least one of his abilities.
"Drown them in a sea of everlasting darkness...Bankai!" Kiyoshi yelled as his Zanpakuto transformed it'self into a dual bladed Guan Dao weapon. Kiyoshi himself was now clad in a traditional martial arts Chinese garb.
Kiyoshi began panting. "Good, I can still use Bankai..." The Dog Katena raised his weapon and began spinning it above him. From the area around him, Kiyoshi pulled to him water from the air and sea. the water he had collected pooled together above the spinning Guan Dao. Once enough water had been collected, Kiyoshi grabbed the weapon with both hands.
"Umi no chiyu!" He yelled as the water rushed about him, engulfing his entire body under the water. As the water settled, Kiyoshi was floating him inside a perfect sphere of levitating water.

 Faun
Goat Katena When the sparks fly during battle
Our memories are cast through them
Before he could finish saying the word "Tsuzuri", Faun slammed her head into Carroll's. She then pulled her head back and headbutted him again with the full force of the goat she is. It was when she readied her third strike that Xamthos landed on her back. Heavy armor being what it is, she found herself unable to move herself. Unable to do much, she started squirming around, completely forgetting Carroll in her haste to get the monkey off her back.
Those sparks are everything
In them, I can see Life ((Xamthos should stop… monkeying around. Faun is liable to go… ape!))

Lewis Carroll
Hatter, Adviser, Madman Carroll, trying to cast his Kido, found himself under the influence of a headbutt. First one and then another. And before what looked like a third came down, someone landed on the girl. He could tell because of the sudden burst of weight he was feeling. And that might as well have been the straw that broke the camel's back. His Kido, which had started, quickly feel to barely stimulating levels. It was less of an electrical attack and more of a child creating a spark via static electricity. His eyesight was swimming, it felt like he was losing consciousness. As a matter of fact, he was losing consciousness, and he didn't like the feel of it. But, then again, he couldn't really do anything about it. He could feel some form of pressure exerting off something so familiar yet so far away. He couldn't quite recognize it. He wanted to lash out against it though, he could remember that... but what was it? His eyes turned to hazy black before he could remember, slipping from consciousness.

Xamthos barely felt the shock. It was more like a slight tingling in his feet-hands, to be fair. He saw, for a brief moment, both Hatter and Faun before the former was blocked feom view by his much larger older sister. As he stood on her back, Xamthos had no idea what he'd just interrupted and so, being the kinda guy he was, figured now would be the best time to have a word with Faun. "Hey Faun-kun," he said, essentially calling her a guy. In the old days, he'd always done it, because he always used to say she was way too masculine for her gender. He never meant any harm by it. Xamthos was still wearing the Hatter's hat, only now it was tilted to the side, making him look even more ridiculous in it. "Once you and your friend are done wrestling, I thought I'd tell you that negotiations went south, the Shinigami know who we are and what we want, we've got Kiyoshi back and he's nearby recovering, Raven decided to stay behind and, I swear that woman has a death wish, apparently fight about three or four Captains, and probably go the way of Kiyoshi so we may or may not end up rescuing her soon too." To anyone but the other Katena, his rambling would have driven crpwds mad with his dizzyingly fast talking and almost blatant lack of tact. But when he was excited, there was nothing to do but try not to take it personally. And then he dropped the bomb. The way he tacked it on, it was as if this most important fact of all was something just barely worth mentioning or even remembering. "Oh, and the cat is still alive."This was news that should have been first, seeing as all twelve had spent the past twenty-some-odd thousand years under the impression that the Cat Katena had been killed during the battle that had ended in their imprisonment. And here Xamthos was, standing on Faun's back and delivering the news of everything that had just happened as if it meant nothing whatsoever...with their own prisoner's hat perched on his aquamarine-colored mop top like the world's biggest nose-thumbing.

Faun
Goat Katena When the sparks fly during battle
Our memories are cast through them
Sadly, Xamthos only got as far as "negotiations" before Faun's hand found her sword (dropped during the tussle moments prior) and proceeded to smack him repeatedly with the flat of the blade until he got off of her.
Those sparks are everything
In them, I can see Life ((Hate to correct you, but the -kun honorific isn't a generic male thing, it's used to address people who are younger or of lesser status. Although on a second thought, it could just be Xamthos referring to his current position and being a smartass about it.))

His rather lengthy report was cut insanely short by his overly masculine older sister. As he felt the repeated smacks of the flat side of the sword, they didn't especially hurt but they smarted a bit and thus they accomplished their purpose. He fell off Faun's back and landed sprawled out more on the back of his neck than on his back as he flailed about for a moment. And still that hat did not budge from his dome. As soon as he came to rest on the ground, he sat still with a very childishly hurt expression. It was his world infamous pouty face, and after so much time he had not lost any of his talent at it. "That was mean, Faun. What'd I do to you? Now I don't even wanna tell you about how Raven's gonna die and how our thirteenth is alive and well." And now came the notorious eternal pout. A merciless and aptly named tactic that consisted of his very best pouty sad face. It had only ome purpose, and that was to strong-arm an apology out of the intended victim. It was aptly named because the last time he used it, he had sat like a statue for over a decade while locked in an epic staring contest against someone who'd made fun of his tail. He could hold it as long as he needed to. And now he turned the terible force of it loose upon Faun.

Lewis Carroll
Hatter, Adviser, Madman Wanted to toss and turn beneath the heavily armored woman and her antagonist, the one he couldn't recognize had he been conscious. As it was, Carroll was laid out flat on the ground, thoughts swimming in his head. His force sleep appeared to be incredibly troubled, if nothing else. His brow was furrowed, mouth frowning rather noticeably, if he hadn't been under someone. When the depressed crease was broken, it appeared he was mouthing words in his sleep. Simple words, single syllable, quite possibly the word "No" over and over. The good news was he wasn't going anywhere, especially not with the mute Faun laying atop him. Bad news was he was shifting and moving about, or trying to, beneath her. So while he couldn't possibly get far, there was an entire likelihood he'd end up hurting himself in his sleep. But, on that same note, it wasn't exactly the attending Katena's problem either, whether he lived or not, nor his state of being. Of course, that didn't mean it sat well on the unconscious mind of the hatless Hatter either.
>>Considering he's unconscious, just go ahead and post without waiting on me.<<

Faun
Goat Katena When the sparks fly during battle
Our memories are cast through them
She quickly got to her hooves and off the (unconscious) lunatic. She brushed herself off and sheathed her sword before turning her attention on Xamthos. Oh no, now he was pouting. The last time he did that at her, he sat near her forge for a week before she finally relented. She started trying to figure out how to get him to stop when his words finally sank in. The Cat? Alive? The ********? It was with mixed feelings she considered this news. On one hand it was good that another Katena survived, on the other he's a bigger p***k than a high-speed rhino sodomy.
Looking around again, she finally spotted Kiyoshi. He's safe. Good to know. Endou is still dicking around somewhere so that leaves… s**t, Xamthos said something about Raven being in danger. She whirled back around to the pouting monkey and wrote the word "Raven" in the ground followed by a question mark. If he kept pouting, she'll smack him upside the head. This was neither the time or place for that.
Those sparks are everything
In them, I can see Life ((Faun has a direct way of dealing with problems, even when it causes her bigger problems.))

Kiyoshi Itō The Ðog Katena "You know those dogs whose bark is worse than their bite? .•:´¨•☆ •.¸¸.•´´¯`• •´¯`´•.¸¸.•☆ •¨´:•.
Kiyoshi tossed and turned in the water sphere that he had created for himself. Kiyoshi looked to be in pain, grabbing his arms as he convulsed. From the open wounds he had received, a black liquid began to expel it'self from Kiyoshi's cuts and mouth. The liquid darkened the sphere of water Kiyoshi was in. Kiyoshi continued to convulse this way until the black liquid stopped flowing from his body. After this had happened, the wounds on Kiyoshi's body began to heal, the cuts sealed, and his bruises disappeared. Finally, Kiyoshi's Eyes shot open and the water surrounding him began to ripple with waves.
With the release of his ability, the sphere shattered and the now polluted water burst from Kiyoshi and splattered onto the ground below. Kiyoshi now stood, dripping with what water remained from the sphere. The Dog Katena let out a howl into the air and let out a release of reiatsu into the area.
"I can feel my power return to me. Those fowl injections have been purged from my body". Kiyoshi almost sounded happy saying those words. After a brief moment of checking his body, he turned his attention back to his Siblings. Inside the sphere Kiyoshi had heard what his brother had said about the Cat being alive. This was impossible to believe, all the Katena had thought their fourteenth to be dead, and now here he is? appearing out of nowhere? it was difficult to believe.
"We need to go back for Raven. She came to rescue me, and we cannot exchange one of us for another one. I am back to fighting strength, let storm back in there and get her. Lets teach the Shinigami not to mess with our power!."
It was at this time that Kiyoshi saw the hatter laying on the ground unconscious. Kiyoshi immediately started to growl as he walked up to the man and picked his up by his coat.
"Mr. Hatter... I promised you I would rip your head off If I ever got free..." He said, still growling.

Xamthos had, in the past, foregone all bodily needs for his eternal pout. But he had to admit that now was not the time to prove a point...at least, not that one. As Kiyoshi came out of his meditation, and aproached the Hatter, Xamthos stood. His Zanpakutō was still tucked in his tail, which wrapped around his waist like a belt, and the Hatter's hat was still on his head. But gone was any trace of his usual childishness. "Kiyoshi, you shall not disgrace yourself and the rest of us by lowering yourself to his level. He is not armed, and not even conscious. If you are truly hell bent on killing our friend Lewis, do not shame yourself further. Wait until he wakes up and can defend himself. Only the weak and the cowardly would attack a foe while he sleeps. As for the Cat, before I got us out, he did not seem to be on either side. As such, whatever you may decide, I shall treat him as neutral until he shows me that he is otherwise. Now. Raven," he paused and would allow his gaze to move from Kiyoshi, whom he now seemed to dismiss entirely, only to have it swesp across first Faun and then the Hatter. All Xamthos kmew was that they had captured a Shinigami, and that the Second Captain had called their prisoner Lewis. Although Xamthos had never seen the Hatter, he did kmow that this Shinigami was their prisoner. Two and two made four. Hence his use of the man's first name. His sweepimg gaze finally came to rest on the trunk of the great tree who was this realm's namesake. "Do we have any ideas? When last I saw, there were no less than three Captains plus the Cat with her. Regardless of numbers, they know how two of the four of us fight. If the Fourth has joined them, they may collectively know how three of us four fight. I had a brief scuffle with the Fourth before I wemt to join up with Raven. We need a plan, and a damn good one. Any contributions, Onee-san?" in his usual way, he'd thrown in a bit of Xamthos-like wordplay at the end. ((In Japanese, plurals are said in the exact same way as a singular. Xamthos is basically calling both Faun and Kiyoshi older brother, but his lack of specification gives it a bit of a double meaning.))

Faun
Goat Katena When the sparks fly during battle
Our memories are cast through them
Faun saw what was about to happen and quickly stepped between the Dog and his prey, putting one hand palm out to his chest to firmly stop him. She looked him square in the eye and held her other hand up, palm out. Sentiment clear: this isn't the time for that. She thought for a moment. Raven is outnumbered there, and she won't retreat if there's a chance they'd follow or track her through. Xamthos is exhausted, and Kiyoshi shouldn't be left alone here with the illusionist. Roughing up a prisoner is fair game but killing crosses the line. Besides, there could still be some use to him. Still, can't leave him unrestrained. She forced him into the ideal battleground to play her strengths, so he may still have untapped powers. Illusionists are tricky, even injured. No time to waste though… okay.
She made eye contact with Xamthos and pointed at him, then at Lewis, then made motions with her hands like tying and tightening a knot. Then two fingers pointing at her eyes, then his eyes, then Carroll. Tie him up and keep an eye on him. Her expression was one of seriousness. This isn't the time for games.
Next was Kiyoshi. A thumb to herself, a finger toward him, then two fingers over her shoulder in a chopping motion straight forward. Faun and Kiyoshi were to move to assist Raven. She clapped him on the back of the shoulder and made a sweeping motion. Kiyoshi is to make the gate, he knows where to go. Then an idea occurred to her. She held up a finger to pause him. She crouched and put her hand on the ground, proceeding to lift it up as she stood up again. Once her hand was above her head, she made circles and looked to Kiyoshi. She wants him to bring them in high up. If they were going to get Raven out from literally every shinigami alive they were going to need one hell of a distraction, and Faun had just the distraction in mind.
Those sparks are everything
In them, I can see Life ((Faun has a bit of a stick up her a** at times. Fun times ahead, stay tuned))

Xamthos, from centuries of experience, understood Faun instantly. Here he was, pretty much back up to full power, and instead of going to join the fight he was being put on babysitting detail. Oh well, truth be told, his Zanpakutō was second to none when it came to forcing submission anyway. He reached up and grabbed a vine from the tree and set to work. In a matter of seconds, the Hatter's left ankle was tied to his right wrist, his right ankle was tied to his left wrist, with arms crossed and both ankles tied to his neck from behind. Of course, the length around the Hatter's neck was loose enough for unobstructed breathing, but tight enough to be tremendously uncomfortable. Finally, Xamthos placed a large rock into the Hatter's mouth and used a strip of cloth torn from the man's own shirt to tie said rock in place. Going a little too far? Maybe. But his instructions were to tie him up and keep an eye on him. Assumimg the Hatter was not awakened by the binding, Xamthos would lay him on his side with his back against the tree, facing Xamthos directly...Xamthos who would be seated on a boulder, facing the Hatter directly with unblinking eyes. "Bring me back something to eat. I'm starved and I'm gonna have to babysit this guy."
