<b>Re: Bleach: ZX Advent (Commy, Palaios [since he's joined], &amp;</b><br/><br/>Dietor couldn't help heaving a sigh when he heard Ulquiorra's explanation.  It explained almost nothing, but he also figured that was about as good as he was ever going to get out of the Cuarto Espada.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0000ff">"Very well."</span>the assassin responded, his gaze growing hard as he stared his opponent down from the other side of the room.  He didn't like it when it felt like someone was jerking his chains like this, but he also knew that there wasn't a whole lot that he could do besides play along.  If anything, it meant that either Aizen-san or the other two Shinigami ruling Las Noches had something weird in store for him.  And he was just too much of a professional to bother questioning it any further than that.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0000ff">"I hope you won't be too surprised for what is about to happen here, Ulquiorra-san."</span>the assassin warned before he lowered himself into a readied stance.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0000ff">"My purpose is the eradication of rebels and traitors within Las Noches.  Including Espada...  And including you."</span><br/><br/>With that, Dietor suddenly drew both of his knives and then suddenly vanished with a burst of Sonido blurring the air.  He had also completely masked any trace of his reiatsu, rending his presence completely invisible from all but the most sharpest of senses.  It was a basic tactic for assassins to use.  Hiding your physical presence was useless if you couldn't also hide your spiritual presence.  But then again...  Dietor the "Fang Assassin" was also far from your basic killer.<br/><br/>He reappeared crouching below and in front of Ulquiorra, his right arm moving to slash at the Espada's unguarded abdomen while his left moved to slash at the ligaments behind Ulquiorra's knee and hamstring him.  It seemed like a simple attack at first, one that Ulquiorra could easily counter, but that was exactly what Dietor wanted him to think.  For you see...  The appearance of Dietor crouching in front of Ulquiorra like that was nothing but a diversion of sorts, an after-image created by the insane speed of Dietor's Sonido-powered movements.  A second Dietor appeared in the air right behind Ulquiorra's head, the blade of his zanpakutou flashing in the light as it went scything straight for his target's jugular vein.  A third image followed the second and aimed a cross cut right for the front of Ulguiorra's chest, intending to carve a large and bloody "X" right over the middle of his hollow hole.  And a fourth followed that one with another yet slash aimed for Cuarto Espada's left flank....<br/><br/>But then...  A fifth one appeared.  The real Dietor.  He appeared high in the air directly above Ulquiorra's head, his right hand unarmed and extending an open palm directly at where Ulquiorra was standing.  A surge of reiatsu gathered in the palm of his hand, a silver-colored Cero tinged with black, and it was fired as an intense beam of pure destructive force.  And if Dietor knew anything about Ulquiorra, then he had a general idea of what was going to happen next.  That was perhaps Dietor's greatest strength as an assassin.  Get inside your target's thoughts, know them even better than they themselves, and then use that against them.<br/><br/>The bemused crinkling around Dietor's eyes told that he was smiling slightly beneath his mask fragment.
