"STARRK!" Lillynette pouted as she followed Coyote Starrk through the passages of Las Noches. "You do know where you sent them don't you?"

"Well of course." said Starrk lazily. "I sent them to the passages of the Privaron Espada."

"You sure they can take those idiots on?" said Lilynette. "It's not like the Privaron Espada are the strongest bunch.."

"The Privaron Espada. Former Espada who lost their rank as Espada, and were therefore given 3 digit number rankings as a sign of their demotion." said Starrk. "They are stronger then even our own Fracciones.. being formerly some of the strongest Arrancars in Hueco Mundo before Aizen created the current Espada with the Hogyoko... I'm quite sure we won't have to deal with the intruders again.."

Starrk's eyes flashed darkly. "Especially considering the Railgun girl ended up in His chamber."

"Y-You don't mean... Devorador!?" said Lilynette with a frightened shadow across her face.

"Of course.." said Starrk. "He would've remained an Espada.. that one.. but he was much too dangerous to allow to reach the higher ranks...I hate that one of those intruders would meet such a grisely end... but it can't be helped now...in any case... none of those intruders stand a chance against the Privaron Espada... so I'm taking my nap now..."

"WHAM!!!!!" Panther Lilly, still in his battle form,  fell back and crashed into the other side of the dark somewhat lit chamber as a fist rammed into his gut.

The man who had punched Lilly, a tan skinned man with brown eyes and a big burnt orange afro-style haircut with thick sideburns and a goatee and a strange dojo/disco outfit along with a broken hollow mask fragment on his forehead that looked like sunglasses with a star in the middle, sighed.

"I've been going easy up until now.. if you surrender quietly, this won't have to get ugly.. I'm sorry, but I really am more about fair fights.."

Panther Lilly wiped a bit of blood from his chin and bared his sharp teeth. "I can see that unlike alot of the Arrancar, you're more honorable during a fight.. but sorry, I can't stop now!!"

"Dragra is rarin to go.. but I'm not sure if I should." said the man showing his Zanpaktou, which were a pair of short punch daggers aligned to his wrists. "At least let me know your name warrior cat."

"Panther Lilly." said Lilly. "And what would yours be?"

"Gantenbainne Mosqueda." said the man. "Privaron Espada 107!!"

Panther Lilly grinned as he raised his large sword. "Well then Gantenbainne, allow me to show you how a fight between two honorable warriors is fought."

"I look forward to it!" said Gantenbaine taking a boxer's stance.

Panther Lilly roared and sliced his sword down at Gantenbainne, as he did, the sword glowed and increased in length, becoming longer as it rammed down at Gantenbainne.

Gantenbainne used Sonido to flash out of the way and came at Panther Lilly with blistering speed, letting a couple of speedy punches explode into Panther Lilly's gut.

Lilly was thrown into the ground with a boom, throwing up rubble as he did.

"A sword that lengthens to unexpectidly increase the range of usually close range attacks." said Gantenbainne. "A good weapon.. but I'm afraid the one wielding the weapon isn't much."

"WHAM!!" Suddenly, Panther Lilly's fist connected with Gantenbainne's lower jaw and sent him flying back.

Lilly grinned as he stood to face Gantenbainne. "You were saying?"

"Well then." said Gantenbainne. "Let's see how you deal with my Uno Dos Cientos!!"

Gantenbainne closed in on Lilly quickly and let out a vicious punch with Dragra into Lilly's gut. "UNO!!!"

Gantenbainne suddenly started viciously punching Panther Lilly with a series of quick blurred punches numbering in the hundreds. "DOS!!!"

Gantenbainne suddenly rammed Dragra in an overhead blow, ramming Lilly into the ground in an orange burst of spiritual power. "CIENTOS!!!"

The was a boom, and a cloud of dust, and Gantenbainne popped his neck with a sigh as he saw Lilly lie on the floor, absolutely winded. "Well that wasn't even worth a warm up.."

As Gantenbainne made to walk away however, a giant sword blade came slicing down at him from behind. Gantenbainne flashed out of the way just in time as the bruised Lilly grinned at him. "Where do ya think you're going? I'm not done yet."

Gantenbainne smirked. "Well then.. LET'S CONTINUE!!"

"This guy is a psycho!!" Natsu growled as he ran through the maze of tall pointed spires that littered the room.

"EL FUEGO CENTALLA!!!"  a massive explosion of purple fire erupted through the spires and exploded out in front of Natsu as he flipped away from the blast and landed on his feet.

"What's the matter senor Natsu!" said a girl with red flame like hair and a white one piece suit-like outfit with a purple flame design down the middle as she landed in front of him lightly. "Aren't you going to to try and eat my fire again!?"

"No way.." Natsu muttered. "Your flames taste like crap!"

The girl laughed and adjusted mask fragment on her head which had a rhino horn like structure on it. "My my senor.. and you were so eager before... has the dumb idiot finally realized how futile his situation is...senor?"

"One question.." Natsu said. "WHAT THE HECK IS WITH YOU ESPADA AND YOUR FREAKING SPANISH!?"

"Quite a good question senor." said the girl with a giggle. "After all.. we hollows are spanish, the Quincies are german.. and the Soul Reapers are Japanese... what a strange assignment of different language usage.. hmm? Senor.. Well sorry senor.. as Privaron Espada 104, Anistar Casenova I can't really allow you live! So explanations are over!!"

Anistar drew a zanpaktou from her side, it's gaurd was shaped like a rose.. and let it ignite into flames. "EL FUEGO DRAGON!!!"

A massive purple fire shaped like a dragon's head exploded out of the sword and raged at Natsu who rolled out of the way as it exploded through the spires behind him with deadly force.

"HEY!" said Natsu indignantly. "I'M THE FIRE DRAGON HERE!!"

"Oh? I think not senor Natsu." said Anistar with a wink. "A real dragon wouldn't be so weak and defeated by a mere demoted Espada by myself... no.. I think you are more like a pink geko..."

"PINK GEKO!!!" Natsu yelled out furiously. "THAT'S IT LADY!! I'M ALL FIRED UP NOW!!!"

Natsu jumped into the air and mashed his fists together as they were engulfed in flames. "BRILLIANT FLAME OF THE FIRE DRAGON!!"

Natsu brought a massive fireball crashing down at Anistar with a blistering explosion of heat. But as he did, Anistar twirled her sword through the flames gracefully. "EL FUEGO NEGACION!!"

The flames were swept away easily as Anistar suddenly flashed away using sonido and reappeared behind Natsu in mid air. "Hola senor.. a pleasure it is to meet you up here.."

Anistar's feet became engulfed in flames as she twirled around and spin kicked Natsu in mid air. "FUEGO LIBRE!!"

Natsu shot down to the ground below like a bullet, blasting apart several spires in the process.

Natsu rose from the rubble, coughing up dust as Anistar landed lightly in front of him again.

"What a pleasure it is Senor.." said Anistar with a giggle. "I've never met anyone quite as explosive as you senor.. but I'm afraid this fight is pointless. the dragon's fire is my domain."

"You know, the more you talk about how dragon fire is your thing and not mine.." Natsu growled. "The more pissed off and eager to kick your ass I am.."

Natsu exhaled a massive blast of fire. "ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON!!"

Anistar jumped over the fire blast and landed gracefully behind Natsu. "FUEGO LIBRE!!"

Anistar let out a flaming low sweep kick into Natsu's legs, knocking him off his feet.. and Anistar then let out a flaming elbow into Natsu's gut as he was still in the air, crashing him down into the floor with an explosion of fire and rubble.

"Well well.." said Anistar with a giggle. "Is senor Natsu done already?"

Suddenly a flaming fist rammed right into Anistar's jaw and sent her flying from out of the dust. Natsu launched himself into the air after Anistar, activating his flaming gauntlett sword. "VOLCANO FLASH OF THE FIRE DRAGON!!!"

Natsu brought the flameing blade crashing down into Anistar with an explosion of tremendous heat that blasted many of the surrounding spires apart.

There was a moment of silence and then Anistar staggered out of the dust, feeling her head with a frightened expression. "Y-you.. messed up my hair.. WHY YOU LITTLE PRICK!!!!"

purple fire exploded around Anistar and blasted into the cieling of the chamber as Natsu staggered back, looking bewildered. "Eh?!"

"YOU RUINED MY PERFECT HAIR!! AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!!" Anistar screamed. She raised her sword to the air. "BURN IN HELL... OLA BRASA!!!!"

The sword, Ola Brasa, exploded with tremendous purple fire and surrounded Anistar with a sweeping raging roar.. when the flames had cleared, Anistar now had two ginormous white forearms and fists, and her shoulders were covered with white armored pauldrons that had dragon jaw designs.. out of the dragon jaws, flames were continuosly blasting out in a neverending blazing heat.

Natsu stared at Anistar's ressurreccion form for a minute.. "Cool.. I want some of that.."

"Oh you bet senor.." said Anistar. "YOU'RE GOING TO RECIEVE LOT'S OF IT!!!"

Anistar flashed at Natsu and rammed her massived fist like a flaming freight train right into his entire body. "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SENOR!!!? THAT WAS FOR MY HAIR!!!"

Natsu exploded into the ground in a tremendous explosion of fire. But Anistar began landing more punches at lightning quick speed. The flames exploded larger and larger and larger..

"WELL SENOR!?" Anistar raged as her fists continued to explode upon Natsu like a never ending fury. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW!!!?"

Suddenly, as if on cue.. all of Anistar's purple flames swirled away from her and began to suck themselves down into Natsu's mouth.

"Wh-what!? You can't eat my flames!!" Anistar screamed. "That's impossible.. they taste terrible to you!!"

"Doesn't mean I can't stomach em.." Natsu growled as he kicked Anistar off of himself.. his body now glowing with a fusion of purple and orange flames. "Now I've got a fire in my belly... take this.. ROAR OF THE SPIRIT FIRE DRAGON!!!"

Natsu let out a vicious combination of purple and orange flames from his mouth that exploded into Anistar who blocked with her massive fists.. but as she blocked, the armored fists shattered from the force of the newly empowered flames.

Anistar's eyes widened with shock as Natsu came at her like a flaming meteor.

"I TOLD YA!!" Natsu screamed. "I'M THE FIRE DRAGON HERE!!!"

"SWORD HORN OF THE SPIRIT FIRE DRAGON!!!" Natsu exploded into Anistar in an explosive headbutt.

There was a massive dome of fire that exploded outwards, obscuring the entire chamber. And as the flames grew larger and large, one could hear Natsu exploding with the rage of a fire dragon from within.

_______________________________________________

Gajeel walked through the dark passage, grumbling to himself.

"This ain't right at all.." Gajeel grumbled. "Where the heck is everybody..? Hello!?"

Gajeel heard nothing but silence.. then..

"AWAWAWAWAWAWA!!!" Out of the dark hall, Dondochaka came running at Gajeel from behind, tears pouring out of his eyeholes. "GAAAAAJEEEEEELLLL!!!!! HOLD ME!!!!"

Gajeel rammed his fist straight into Dondochaka's masked face, causing the hollow to fall on his back.

"OWWWWW!!!" Sobbed Dondochaka. "Why'd ya do that Gajeel!? I was scared!!"

"Shut up!" said Gajeel. "You're like the freakiest thing I've ever seen in my life!!"

Gajeel began walking away as Dondochaka started following him.

"H-hey! N-Nel and Pesche are gone!! Ya gotta help me find em!! Dontchaknow!!?"

Gajeel chuckled. "No need to worry about them..if they're not with me, then they're with some of the others. Once we meet up with em it'll be a okay.."

Suddenly there was an explosion of fire.. and a little further down the hallway, the wall exploded as Natsu burst through, shoulder tackling Anistar into the ground.

Natsu stood over the knocked out Anistar, yelling into the air. "YEAAAAHH!!!! TAKE THAT YA FREAKING HAIR DISASTER!!! LIKE GUNHA ALWAYS SAYS!!! I'VE GOT WAY MORE GUTS THEN YOU!!!! GUUUUUTTTTSSSS!!!!!!!"

"See?" said Gajeel. "Nobody's messing with us... oy! Salamander!!"

Natsu turned to see Gajeel. "Geh? Gajeel when did you get here?"

"Nevermind that.." Gajeel said. "Where's the others?"

Natsu shook his head. "Lost em.. but I can smell Mikoto somewhere close by.."

Gajeel nodded. "Yeah.. me too.. and we better get to her quick..ya smell that other stuff too?"

"O-Other stuff?" whimpered Dondochaka.

"Yeah.." said Gajeel. "Wherever Mikoto is.. there's a lot of blood.. LOTS of blood..."

_______________________________________________________

Mikoto rolled out of the way as Devorado slashed his claws viciously and quickly at her.

"No.. No.. No.." Mikoto whimpered as she clutched her side which was already bleeding profusely from a blow by Cuvis Devorador.... a vicious bite that had eaten at some of her flesh.

"Oh come now Jimmy.. not so violent now.." said Cuvis in his Aronis voice. "You've already gotten one taste and now you're out of control.

"Can't help it Aronis." said Jimmy's voice. "She was just so tasty.. come now... give us another bite won't ya girly?"

Mikoto's wings flapped with power as she puffed up her cheeks. "ROAR OF THE THUNDER DRAGON!!!"

The lightning blast exploded into Cuvis with a raging destructive exposion.. but Cuvis walked through it completely unharmed.

"Now.. that soft fleshy one is really ticking me off!" said Baris's voice. "Can't we kill her already.. can we can we!?"

"Now now.." said Jimmy's voice. "We gotta let her excercise some more.. tenderize her legs and arms.. where most of the flesh is.. then we can get to eatin' nice and slow.. while she's still a livin'.."

Mikoto frantically took  a coin out of her pocket and fired a railgun at Devorado's forehead. There was an explosive boom and a burst of sparks, but Cuvis, kept walking, not even feeling a thing as the coin laid burning and embedded in his forehead.

Cuvis took the coin from his forehead and shattered it with his two claws pinching it.

Aww.. how sweet." said Aronis's voice. "Ya see that Jimmy, Baris? She gave us some change to spend on a drink to go with her nice flesh.."

"Oh wow!" said Baris's voice sarcastically. "Like I care about a stinking piece of yen!! We can drink her blood for free!!!"

"Baris is right Aronis." said Jimmy. "That darn blood be the best drink 'round these parts.. specially if it's dragon blood.. oh how sweet.."

Mikoto looked around for a place in the hall to run.. but there was none.. and there was no way to fight Cuvis Devorado at all.. every blow she had thrown at him.. it was as if his Hierro was completely invincible.. he took every single blow with no dammage at all..."

Mikoto suddenly coughed up blood as Cuvis stabbed his claws into her her abdomen and pinned her against the wall of the hall. "Oh she just looks so tasty... so soooo tasty.."

As Cuvis pinned her to the wall, Mikoto began to feel an instinctual fear permeate through her body.. an instinctual fear that felt extremely dragonish in nature..

Mikoto let out a loud scream.. and as the scream exploded through the hall.. it changed into the roar of a ferocious dragon.. the dragon's roaring seemed to shatter through the sound barrier as Cuvis let go of Mikoto and fell back, crying out in pain.

"It's dem dragon's cry!" exclaimed Jimmy's voice. "It's dat Dragon's defense mechanism when it's cornered and can't fight!"

"Oh it hurts!!!" Baris's voice roared out. "It hurts like hell it does!!! RRRRAAARRRGGGHHH!!!"

Mikoto continued to let out the Dragon's Cry without really thinking about it.. a sonic wave rippling out from her mouth and causing the stone structures around her to crack.

Mikoto stopped screaming as Cuvis fell to all fours, groaning in pain. Mikoto suddenly noticed that the wall nearby had been severely weakened by the scream just now.. and she rammed a lightning fist into it repeatedly and frantically, until it gave way and she shot through it...

"YOU LITTLE SCAMP!!" the Baris personality roared. "WE'LL FIND YA!!! YOU HERE!! ME, JIMMY AN' ARONIS WILL FIND YA AND EAT YA WITH A SIDE OF CHEDDAR CHEESE!!!"

Mikoto ran through the darkness, she knew the chances of escape were low..everything around here was still Cuvis's domain.. she could hear and feel the blood sloshing around her shoes as she ran through the pitch blackness, all that remained of Cuvis's last victims..from what she had discerned through the creature's delusional mutterings, it was no wonder this Aizen guy decided the creature was too dangerous to allow into the higher ransk of the Espada...

Mikoto began to feel cold and horrified as she heard sloshing behind her.

Cuvis was singing...in Jimmy's voice.. "Oh sweetie pie.. oh sweetie pie.. a lady I wish to find.. to eat her with a side of... bread on rye.. oh sweetie pie, oh sweetie pie.. please do be mine.. and I can grill you up... with some good ol lemon and lime..."

Mikoto suddenly felt a pain in her leg as she felt Cuvis's jaws chomp down on her ankle.

Mikoto screamed out in pain as her blood dribbled out into the already blood filled passage.

Mikoto's wings exploded out and lit up the passageway, suddenly morphing into six lightning tendrils, surrounded by purplish distorting spatial energy.

"IRON FIST OF THE SPATIAL THUNDER DRAGON!!!!" Mikoto slammed her spatially distorted lightning fist right into Cuvis's head, causing him to release her.

Mikoto then conjured up a sparking portal right in front of her and dove into it, frightened tears pouring out of her eyes as she did. As the portal closed up behind her, Mikoto could hear Cuvis scream with rage.

"WE HATE YOU MEAT!!! WE HATE YOU AND WE WILL FIND YOU!!!!"

As the lightning and spatial distortion dissapated, Mikoto fell to the floor and leaned against the the wall of the brightly lit chamber to she had just come into.. the colors of the area were different now.. the columns were all red.. and the spiritual energy here was lower..

Mikoto sighed with relief. "Oh god.. I hope I never have to fight that thing again..."

Suddenly, there was a massive explosion of rubble as something blasted through the wall nearby. Mikoto screamed and fired off a massive lightning bolt from her hand at the figure in the dust.. the figure dodged with an apparent Sonido... and before Mikoto knew it, Grimmjow was grabbing her arm.

"WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH!!" Grimmjow growled. "Hey!! What the heck were ya trying to do!! It's me!!"

Mikoto's lip quivered slightly, and much to Grimmjow's surprise she started hugging him tightly. "Thank god..it's only you... thank God..."

Grimmjow just stared for a minute at the blood dripping from Mikoto and sighed. "Ya ran into Cuvis Devorador... didn't ya?"

Info on Cuvis Devorador.

Cuvis was one of the Espada Aizen created using the Hogyoko, as opposed to the natural Arrancar who tear off their masks by themselves and become Arrancar on their own. Therefore, like many of the Espada, Cuvis is more powerful then many of the Arrancar in Hueco Mundo. (Most of the Privaron Espada were naturally created Arrancar and formerly the most powerful Arrancar in Hueco Mundo) . Cuvis, however, was declared too dangerous to allow into the higher ranks of the Espada due to his bloodthirsty tendency to eat his Fracciones, fellow Espada, and other allies.. usually in the most bloody and gruesome way possible. Had he remained an Espada though, he would've ranked as number 3 instead of Harribel. He has the confirmed hardest Hierro among all Arrancar, despite Nnoitra's numerous claims that his own Hierro is the hardest.

Cuvis's Zanpaktou is named Carnivoro.
