Shinigami

Izanagi has been within the World of the Living for a brief moment; things are already beginning to get more hectic than before. While on the phone to write a short report on the current status of Naruki City while also seeking aid. Unknowingly to him, help was already in motion.
Even though he had this message thought out but accidentally ping everyone in the soul society without realizing it. He even made a bad call for telling Lt to have medical units ready when he should know she had no control over medical teams. Izanagi is bound to get a mouth full from the Lt about it his rookie mistake on his first day on the field of battle. However, the sixth seated officer did finish the message and ready to be sent over. Something fast struck Izanagi. It wasn't an attack that struck him, it would have been his senses that kicked in on what's to come. Letting Izanagi know, that the danger was coming. Which immediately interrupting him in the middle of the request for help. Izanagi pair of optics gazed downwards, fixed on something long and sharp-headed in Ryuga and his direction.
"Are those bones?"
Something he thought while those spikes covered in a red-like substance, though the spears were fast, given the height, Izanagi had time to move away before they reached him without worry. Before even another second to think, Izanagi's arms lifted to shoulder height, and the left foot slid back against the invisible plate, his knees bent slightly, causing his body to lean forward. However, before getting the chance to react, he hardly noticed it, but his eyes diverted away from the incoming danger to another troubling matter in front of him. Uncertain of what it was or who it was from, another attack but much more closer and faster headed his way.
"Shit."
His mind shouted simultaneously as the sound of a SNAP echoed throughout the area. The projectile in question didn't even explode upon hitting the mark, but the prey that the attack was for wasn't the original target, but something else took his place. The purple-haired shinigami was no longer in the position he was before. He was a reasonable distance away from the previous location, by using shunpo, so he is presumably out of range of their attack from beneath them. In the place where Izanagi once stood would be a proportionate size dark purplish orb, enough to cover his chest down to the sole of his feet. It appeared out of nowhere, But it did not; the sphere has been with him the entire time, even before arriving in the World of the Living. It has been but a minuscule object, hard to detect and very difficult to see. The orb size itself had changed when the snap took place, which carried no time for Izanagi's Shikai to alter its shape. And it was just in time to stand in Izanagi's place and large enough to absorb the attack that was meant to hit him. The attack made for Izanagi may not be dangerous but served a different purpose while the attack holds spiritual energy, every little energy helps feed the Shikai of Izanagi.
Not only the Bala, which is a technique unknown to Izanagi, the numerous spears and rods would also have sucked right into the orb itself like a vacuum only more powerful, even if one could control the direction of their attacks. It would find themselves pulled in towards the ball. Still, the spikes meant for Izanagi would also be in the same predicament as the Bala, heading towards the epicenter had it continue to get closer.
Once caught inside Jūryoku, he would siphon both attacks of their reiryoku/reiatsu from them, simultaneously crushing them while inside with unbearable force until they were nothing. In the meantime, Izanagi would try sensing the location of where these attacks came from, yet to no avail, neither of them could be easily located. Either they were too far from the vicinity or hiding their presence.
"Sixth seat Izanagi. Fifth Seat Ryuga Iba."
A voice called out to them through Izanagi did not recognize this particular voice; several shinigami appeared around him, one by one appeared until there were at least 12 of them. Each was part of a patrol unit around Naruki City. Some look hurt, some look untouched, some look pathetic with those dread expressions on their faces, masking it with false strength. They obviously came looking for insight on what their task should be.
"Sir! Hollows appearing all over! 75% of the city is in shambles! What should we do? Are reinforcements on the way?"
One shinigami asked as he was the voice of the group and the moment he wondered about reinforcements. Izanagi immediately remembers one crucial thing.
"Aw crap!"
Both eyes gazed at the phone still in hand, undamaged, the message he wrote went unsent. Izanagi forgotten about it for a minute and quickly press the send button. He imagines it would be a while before help arrives, but until then, he had to do what he could. However, he wasn't sure what to do. Ryuga was not in the right mind to give orders. The following chain of command has fallen before the laziest shinigami in Division 10, Izanagi Kiyoshi. Just thinking about that made him sigh out of frustration because he wasn't cut out giving orders. But he did not want to disappoint either. Yet, so much is happening, a large number of hollows, 2-3 strong enemies to face. Izanagi was not prepared for this, and stress was beginning to build while incapable of thinking the plan of action. What would Shizuka do?
"Think!"
"Think!"
Think!
"Think!"
His mind was racing, repeating the same thing over and over, growing frustrated until he remembers during training with Ryuga. Who constantly beat the word "focus" into him. And that's when everything starts to become calmer in his mind. All it took was a soft breather.
"Reinforcement should becoming. So do the best you can do to eliminate the threat! Split into a group of three's. The first half of the group will focus on eliminating the hollows. The other half will make sure no civilians are within the area. If they are, get them to safety. After that, focus on aiding the first group. Watch out for the spikes and sneaky attacks! The enemy is attacking and hiding, so stay on your P's and Q's. Now, go!"
Izanagi barking orders at the group loud and clear though he wasn't too certain himself if they were capable, he would have to believe they can at least survive this onslaught from the enemy; however, while they had their orders, that left him with one visible enemy—the one who hasn't attacked him just yet. Nonetheless, the shinigami who was inside the cube is now out of it; it is clearly destroyed while using also using a particular spell, launching rods earlier that Izanagi did not know of, besides knowing it was some kido spell, which was to aid in blocking the spears from reaching Izanagi's previous position.
"Up to you guys now! Finish the job."
The shinigami said while throwing up the peace sign, telling them to finish a job they were bound to do regardless without his say-so. Izanagi had a straight face, looking in his direction.
From that moment, Izanagi didn't pay too much mind to him, and he had better things to focus on. Didn't bother to ask what he was doing or why he was leaving. It was nothing that concerned him but information on the enemy would have been nice to know before deciding to flee from the battle. Though he did something right, he created an opening or a distraction in which the invader who has supposedly been in a storm of those rods sent his way. Izanagi would use this opportunity to send the same orb from before to go after the target. Making the Shikai larger for a more powerful effect, the closer it gotten towards the mark, in which case entrapped them inside the darkness of Jūryoku. But the closer they are towards, the more influence it would have on pulling them towards it. Making escaping its grasp that much difficult. And the speed of this orb traveling towards the enemy would be in comparison to a ball. Izanagi outstretches the right arm forward to make it so. Had the enemy been captured, he would be in the same circumstance as the ball and everything else Jūryoku has eaten. What happens next depends on the enemy and those hidden away from the battle. But what has become of Ryuga?
