[Assuming this was a Cero for us]
Hanako reacted quickly but calmly. She had dealt with Cero plenty of times and knew just how to adjust Kido to perfectly cancel it out. She raised her left hand pointing two fingers at the oncoming Cero.
"Way of Destruction 32: Blue Fire, Crash Down" She said calmly releasing a Blue bolt. It hit the Cero at it's centre and disintegrated it slowly from the inside. It safely reached The Captains hand by which time it was just light effects which disappeared harmlessly.
"Now we won't be having anymore of them now shall we." She said as she opened her pointing hand so the palm was facing the Hollow. Her aura glowed gold as she charged up her Reiatsu to release a far more powerful attack. Due to the amount of force her voice had lost its usual calmness as she shouted the spell.
"WAY OF DESTRUCTION 63: ROARING THUNDER CANNON!" Yellow lightning exploded from her palm arcing it's way to the Hollow. Smashing through its mask the spell efficiently killing the Hollow.
Nakamura returned her arm to her side and turned to her fellow Shinigami.
"So Martini-san, I believe you were about to give me a sit-rep?"

Natanao watched the strange man jump higher then any ordinary human, and float there. What in the world? thought Natanao, as he watched him pull a dagger out, and bark an order to the Glanbrin, who fired a blast of cero at him.
Natanao quickly regained his concentration, and ejected from his body. Natanao coated his hand in spirit energy, grabbed the cero blast, and threw it right back at the Glanbrin. "I dont know what the Inle you are, but your pretty sad if your going to make some monster do your work for you!" Shouted Natanao to Sagi, as he watched the blast return to it's creator.

The returned blast completely destroyed the Hollow who had fired it. Sagi had turned his attention away from Natanao and was looking at the two shinigami. "A captain!" He said slightly afraid. "All of you focus on the shinigami, except you four." He ordered his trained Hollows. They all charged in their direction, scaring away the weak hollows. Two of them arrived before the others, a giant flying octopus one and a tiger like one. Samantha shot an arrow into the octopus and the explosion of small arrows tore it to pieces, but the tiger was heading straight for her. She closed her eyes in fear of a direct attack, but the speeding object that had arrived earlier zipped past the hollow, sliced it perfectly in half, and stopped next to Samantha. She opened her eyes and saw Dave smiling a slightly fiendish but still friendly smile. "Sorry I'm late Sam, but getting here from Hueco Mundo isn't easy. So who are your new friends?" He said. "We'll all get introduced later." She said as she prepared another arrow for the incoming Hollows.
Sagi had turned his attention back to Natanao. He landed on a roof top not far from him and the hollows he had specified earlier surrounded it. "I am insulted by you calling them monsters, since I was one of them once." He said pointing to the mask fragment on his face. He snapped his fingers and the four Hollow around him charged in to attack Natanao.
(Since this rp is all about introducing and demonstrating your characters powers, I'm adding a special rule right now. You may decide what kind of Hollow attack you and in what way, so that you may fight back how ever you choose. This goes for everyone until Sagi's private army is destroyed.)

Rolling over, he'd noticed that in fact nobody had bothered to move... he felt rather pathetic and cowardly now, but then he was 4th Squad so he could get away with it, to an extent.
"Is anyone hurt?" he asked, before realising he'd been asked a question. Standing up, he dusted himself off before picking up his sword. "Well, you can see for yourself what's going on," he eventually replied, still a little shocked by the Cero. "Large numbers of Hollow, much more powerful than normal, unknown numbers..."
He grunted as one threw itself upon the pair, Piero lashing out with his katana to slice the smaller monster down the centre of its face. "...and with these numbers charging and working together so effectively, I'd say there's a ring leader somewhere. My recommendation..."
Before he could finish, he felt a droplet of water on his nose. Martini held his hand out; sure enough, it'd started to rain. For now it was gentle, judging by the clouds within a few minutes there'd be a substantial downpour. "...I say we find that leader and take it down!" Martini smiled, giving the captain the thumbs up.

"Used to be one of them?" Inquired Natanao, who returned to his stance. "That's new to me, Glanbrin that can take human form..." Natanao's hands glowed with spirit energy, and he observed his enemys carefully, looking for an opening. Natanao's eyes narrowed in concentration the instant the sound of Sagi's fingers snapping pierced the silence, sending his minions at Natanao. Natanao brought both his hands to his left side, facing his shoulder towards his oppenents, and swiftly brought his hands forewards. The act of which sending a large surge fist blast their way, intending to disorient them, the act of destroying his oppenents being a possibility but not the intention.

"Normally I'd agree with you Martini-san. However given the severe numbers of these Hollow I think some number thinning is in order. I felt an Arrancar's presence here. Assuming that's the orchestrator of this chaos then they should be left to me. Not only am I a Captain but am capable of crippling them by cancelling their Sonido!"
She looked over at the new arrival and uncharacteristically an expletive slipped out in her surprise.
"Nan Da Oi*? Whitmore-san you are a blast from the past. No time for explanations we have some hollow to purify!"
The Captain glanced back to Martini. Taking up a fighting stance gripping her Katana with both hands. She nodded to the forth seat, signalling him to go on the offensive also. Then she began her flash-step rampage!
For a few minutes she attacked the large number of congregated hollow. She'd noticed many seemed to be centred on her anyway before she began her speedy attack. She figured they could sense her power level, making her the greatest threat. These Hollow were nothing to her, all below Menos level so she got through them with surprising ease. Killing most with a single slash to the head, moving far faster than they could track. After a few minutes had past she had significantly thinned there numbers and now there were mainly Menos left.
She Flash stepped next to Martini and whispered in his ear. (After whispering in the other allies' ear mid-flash step)
"Cover your ears."
She greatly increased her spiritual Pressure preparing to release her Soul Slayer to attack the Menos they now faced.
[OOC: * loosely translates to WTF (What The F**k). I'd like to note I have deliberately taken up sometime IC in this post, she wasn't the only one thinning the numbers, so feel free to kill as many of these weaklings as you wish. But she wouldn't release her sword for anything short of an Adjuchas and as we're showing her powers I decided to get rid of these weaklings. I won't post again till Martini reacts and covers his ears.]

Samantha looked at Nakamura. "Dave, do you know that big breasted bi..." She started to say, but Dave covered her mouth. "It's nice to see you Nakamura-taicho, I considered joining your squad before I left." Dave said. "But I found a much greater power instead." He said quietly to himself.
Samantha fired into a large group of hollows and Dave charged in behind the arrow. As it exploded he used flashstep to dodge the arrows while slicing through survivors.
Samantha was confused when Nakamura told them to cover their ears, but Dave knew exactly what was happening. He took position a good distance away from her where they could see each other. He was going to use this as a chance to show the captain the power he possessed.
The four Hollow dodged Natanao's attack and Sagi used Payaso to reflect it into the air. "Your species has always been ignorant of our power." Sagi said. "That was why I enjoyed when we got to slaughter so many of you so long ago." He said taunting him. The four Hollow all charged at Natanao from a different direction.

Covering his ears, Martini watched as the sword was released.

Nakamura raised her Katana so the tsuba was next to her mouth. Softly saying the release command to the spirit within.
"Sing, Hibiki."
She lowered Hibiki so it was level with her chest on her left side pointing behind her. The Golden aura that had been surrounding her flowed into Hibiki as she did this and the sword began to glow. Hibiki then began singing "Sing" and Nakamura slowly swung the Blade out horizontally around her. While the sword changed as it moved around Nakamura the vocals got louder, faster and higher in pitch. Once Hibiki was on Nakamura's right side at full arms length the voice had lost all clarity and was a painfully disorientating whine.
Once the transformation was complete the Glow and noise faded away. Nakamura looked up at a Hollow that was still disorientated in pain from the release, Hibiki's Chains and Bells jingle being able to be heard by all. She smiled briefly then shouted.
"KATSU EIKA"
She swung Hibiki in front of her, with much jingling. A split second later the hollow fell apart, cut diagonally from his shoulder to his hip. Nakamura took Hibiki in both hands preparing for the next attack. She glanced over to her allies to see their situation.
[ooc: sorry if I put to much detail into her release, but i was just trying to get it across. I wanna bring in more Shinigami, so if I give you the details would anyone like to play Hana-chan's Vice-Captain? And would you like more powerful opponents, if so I could bring in my Arrancar with a Fraccion and have him be Sagi's ally]

"You what?!?!" screamed Natanao, at Sagi's words. Natanaos reiatsu spiked, and he grabbed one of the advancing Glanbrin by the mask, and threw it into another. He then ejected from his body and kicked one of the final two Glanbrin directly in the face, shattering it's mask, and looked directly across at the final Glanbrin, his eyes intense with rage. Natanao jumped from the fallen Glanbrins body, used his spirit umbilical cord to increase his momentum, went back through his body again and to the last foe, and smashed it's mask with an open palm. "You, whatever your name is!" Yelled Natanao to Sagi "If you ment to get me angry.." Natanao's hand glowed with spirit energy, and he obliterated the already dying adversary with a single blast at point blank, Natanao then turned to stare Sagi directly in the eye, "Then your going to swiftly regret it!!"

Dave was surprised by how powerful Hibiki was. He had never actually seen a captain release their zanpakuto and expected it to be much weaker than his own. The sounds it made didn't bother him, because his sword also used sound, but the power that Nakamura had was shocking. He grabbed his sword by the handle with both hands and said, "Split the heavens and shake the Earth, Arashi!" As he spoke the blade and the orb on the end started glowing. The blade shrunk down into a short, yellow, curved blade and the orb expanded into a small blue mace. He jumped into the air an a group of Hollows followed him. He pointed the sword up into the air and yelled, "Inazuma!" Several arcs of electricity shot from the sword and electrified the surrounding hollows, forcing them all to the ground. He landed in the middle of them ,raised the mace above his head, and yelled, "Ikazuchi" and struck the ground, sending a wave of thunder into the Hollows that tore them apart from the inside.
Samantha was also impressed with Nakamura's power. "She could fight against Dave and actually have a chance, unless he puts on that mask." She said to herself, not realizing that no one else knew he was a Vizard.
Sagi was enjoying messing with Natanao so much that he didn't notice the two released zanpakutos. "You can call me Sagi, the Dark Clown." He introduced himself mockingly. "And I do regret one thing, that we didn't get you when we got the others." He said as he charged up a Cero blast in his hand. He fired it and imediatly use Sonido to get behind Natanao, hold Payaso to his throat and hold him in the path of the incoming blast. "You'll be joining them shortly." He whispered as the blast got closer.
(I don't object to you adding another Arrancar, being the only bad guy is a little hard since Sagi can only be in one place at one time.)

The chaos seemed to be getting worse, there wasn't much doubt about that.
Martini watched as the captain finished her release, knocking a few Hollow to their feet in agony. Others were writhing on the floor in pain, their eardrums unable to keep up.
The rain meanwhile was steadily increasing... "I think it's time," Piero said to his sword, drawing it up in front of him in a vertical fashion. Clapping his spare hand to the hilt, he then separated the hands as he summoned his shikai. "Let's quench their thirst - Dorona!"" he cried, as his hands separated a second sword went into his spare hand, and the pair were linked by a long chain.
Standing steady with swords in a good grip, he looked towards Nakamura. "Shall we, taicho?" he asked, indicating the enemy that was now beginning to stand up.

Nakamura smiled and briefly closed her eyes while she gave a Martini a quick nod. Looking forward to the Hollow she said to Martini.
"I don't wish to ask too much of you Martini-san of 4th squad. But until more of martial orientated squads arrive, I'll need your Zanpakuto's edge in this fight. Go ahead I will watch your back and make sure you survive to heal any injured." Her voice was filled with the kindness and concern that she'd use to warm the hearts of members her own squad."
Nakamura had never seen Martini fight so was unaware of his skill. She did however know of his healing skill and that it would be crucial for him to be able to use it. Also from behind she could keep an eye out for Sonido users and disable them before they posed a threat to Martini.
Noticing a wave of five hollow come at her before Martini entered the fray she reacted quickly.
"Katsu Eika"
She swung Hibiki again releasing a large, but invisible, sound wave. The Cutting Song slicing four of the hollow in half. The last one paused looking in fear at the 4 with him that just dissipated. The pause gave Nakamura enough time to raise her left had off Hibki and point to the fearful Hollow.
"Way of Destruction Number 4: White Lightening"
The Lightening exploded from her finger carving a trench in the ground, eventually landing at it's target, shattering it's mask.
Nakamura then focused all her attention on watching her Fellow death God's back.
(ooc: ok I'll get my thinking cap on for my Arrancar and his Fraccion)

Just because I'm 4th Squad, doesn't mean I'm any good at healing... Piero frowned as he prepared to attack - the captain covering his rear. Sure, I've had training in it, but I'm just biding my time until such an opportunity when I can get either promoted or transferred...
Shaking his head briefly, Martini was aghast. Why was he having such thoughts? He was insanely proud to be the 4/4! Fourth Seat in Fourth Squad! Besides, being so far back allowed him the chance to train with 11th Squad quietly; he'd impressed 3rd Seat Ikkaku Madarame a few times, but not enough to warrant Ikkaku going all-out.
He's got reiatsu in reserve, I know it! Martini thought as a white mask popped into view.
Leaping into the air, Piero's mop of hair flopped out of the way long enough for him to sight up a small group of Hollow beneath him.
Throwing one half of Dorona outwards, once it had reached its required length the 4th squad veteran then threw his arm out to one side, then across towards the other extremely quickly; Dorona's chain holding firm as the sword at the end flung itself towards the Hollow rabble heading towards him. The sword cleaved cleanly through the whole front line, surprising the ranks of enemy therein. Reacting quickly, he continued with the motion of the blade, making sure that it passed cleanly over the heads of his allies behind him. As Piero landed, Dorona cut through the second line of Hollow with an increased venom; it had gained momentum quite quickly. Recalling the attacking half of his soul slayer, Martini turned to the supervising captain, smiled with a confident look in his eyes before using shunpo to get behind the remainder of that group and use the sword-chuck once again to finish them off.
"That's fifteen to us, Dorona!" he said, only just loudly enough for his sword to hear(bearing in mind the 4th Seat had flash stepped away from his allies). He and his sword took fighting as one to another level.

In the midst of combat, Dave noticed Martini's reaction to the comment about him healing. He flashstepped near him, stabbed a large hollow in the face, and slammed its body to the ground so that it was blocking everyone's view of him and Martini. "Ikazuchi." He said as he smashed his mace into the ground clearing all the hollow around them away so he could speak to him for a moment. "It's not fair that she judged you like that. I can tell by how you fight that you're more of a soldier than a healer." He said as he put his mace into the same hand as his sword. "I'm going to make you a one time offer, after this is taken care of speak to me and I will help you." He said as he held his right hand over his head. An ornate Hollow mask that looked like a hawk appeared in his hand and he pulled it down over his face. The other hollows in the area hid his change in spiritual pressure. He put his mace back into his right hand as the Hollows started closing in on them. He held it up in the air and, without even peaking or moving, he released a powerful Ikazuchi blast that tore them all to pieces. He then pointed his sword at another group of approaching Hollow and fired multiple Inazuma shots through them all. He put his hand on the mask and it disapeared. "Think about it." He said as he used flashstep to go to another part of the battle.
