Tahosih rushed to their aid, helping Kotone regain her footing, and blocking Juno's immediate path through the broken wall. "You two need to get out of here. You're no match for her speed or strength... at least we have the upper hand on one part of this..." he said, hoping he didn't have to hurt her.
Tahoshi remembered everything from the past few hundred years. He knew Juno from when she started as a Shinigami. He had been a captain long before Razgriz had even been born, let alone become a Shinigami. "Please don't give me a reason to hurt you..." Tahoshi said quietly as he flash jumped above the broken wall, hoping to see Juno below.
"You lot go on" he said to those below him, "I'll try and head them off... I may not be as fast as her, but i'm faster than you..." he smirked, before disappearing towards Soukyouku hill. His Reiatsu was still not at full level, but it was enough to keep him fighting.
-----------------------
"They're closing in... We need to escape them..." Akiko said, spluttering a bit. She was losing blood, and it wasn't making any attempt at stopping. "They know where we're going... We need to lose them." she added, now being pulled along by Juno, at increased speed.

Meanwhile, not too far away from the chase, a rather comedic struggle was taking place. Anyone that saw the cause of the chaos immediately jumped to the side, watching as it rocketed past. The one thing that made it clear what was going on with the trouble was a single shout.
"Let me down ya' psycho, overgrown piece of spoiled bacon!!"
Apparently, Zero was on a session of hollow hunting to pass the time, and had come across a low-level hollow that greatly resembled a boar. He attempted to dispatch it quickly with a jump slash... Only for his plan to backfire when his foot got caught in the surprisingly small hole in the hollow's chest, causing it to squeal in pain, before beginning to run around like a sonic chicken with it's head chopped off. Unable to regain his balance enough to be able to stab and eliminate the hollow, Zero settled on hoping to get assistance by getting dragged by itbringing it into Seireitei. After a long and wild ride, Zero had finally managed to regain his balance and steadied himself on the hollow's back. "Alright! Time to mince this meat!" Ignoring the horrible pun he just made, he finally stabbed the hollow through it's head.... Resulting in it disappearing while running, sending Zero flying off it's fading back, and into the wall... while getting in-between the chase between Tahoshi, and Juno accompanied by Akiko.
Sliding down to the floor in a heap, Zero could only say one thing. "Did anyone get the license plate number of that wall just now...?"

Rikka was unsure of how to handle the situation. They were to take down Juno with out hurting her in the process. She turned to look at her captain. "Of course we're going to stay and fight. Why wouldn't we? Besides, like you said, we need all the eyes we can get. "She said, watching Tahoshi jump onto the wall and tell them that he was going to head them off. She sighed, that meant they were going to be coming around from the back and sides, hoping to some how surround them.
She wasn't sure if she should go on ahead. Being the fastest in the group, the other two were only slowing her down. "Captain Sir, do you want me to go ahead or do you want me to stay with the group?" She asked her captain and waited for further orders.

"Captain Sir, do you want me to go ahead or do you want me to stay with the group?" Queried Rikka
"Well, you are the fastest. Go on ahead, slow Juno down, don't die."
At that precise moment, a flying something impacted a nearby wall; when the group got to the impact crater, they discovered...Zero.
"Did anyone get the license plate number of that wall just now...?" Asked the dazed shinigami.
"Yeah; 314-Juno's gone rogue. Give Rikka a hand catching her. ALIVE. We'll catch up."
Quickly getting back up and saying something no one quite caught, he and Rikka disappeared. The two remaining shinigami set out at a run to try to catch up, praying they weren't too late.

I'm coming with you!" Hotaru, more or less, roared before hacking up another mouthful of blood. She didn't care one bit about her current state. She just felt as if she needed to be there, like her prescence could possibly help Juno return to her senses. But as she started to run after Rikka and Zero, she was halted suddenly by Kotone, who had grabbed the elastic strap of her goggles.
"No." She said plainly "You and I have already done our part. There's not much more the two of us can do, Hotaru...." Kotone guided the Seated Officer to a seated position against the wall.
"But-!"
"I know you're worried about Captain Breyer." She started, placing her hands firmly on Hotaru's wounds, having prior worked a little on her own, using her skill in Kidou to stabilize the younger Shinigami's condition. "But you need to face the facts. She is not on our side! She's been working for the enemy this entire time! How else could Hayashi be here? Answer me that, Takahashi."
Hotaru was taken aback, her eyes wide in surprise. Maybe... she's right...
The shock, however, soon melted into an indignant glare as she wrenched away from the silver-tongued Vice Captain. "No." the Officer whispered hoarsely, suppressing another cough. "There's no way she'd ever...."
"How else can we explain this, though!?"
"There's another reason, snake. I knowit." With that, she cast a sneer at the woman, hefting her Zanpakutoh to her shoulder before hieing after the others, praying that the intelligent woman she had just fled from had, for a change, faltered in her assessment of the situation at hand.

Tahoshi wished he'd rested a bit more, most of his muscles still ached, but he knew he had to keep going. Soon, Rikka caught up with him, flash jumping alongside.
"Rikka, You take that path, i'll go this way." he said, as the road forked three ways. As they got closer, Tahoshi began to sense Juno's Reiatsu, she wasn't as good at hiding it as the fake Akiko, and stood out like a sore thumb compared to her. No matter how fast they went, even with Akiko in tow, Juno was still faster.
"Come on, slow down already.." Tahoshi said as he landed on a building, and jumped down into the alley. "I know you're here somewhere..." he said, his Reiatsu aura right now would've been enough to kill a normal soul, and even the lower shinigami would've run in fear if he was on the other side.
"I don't know whats happened to you... But im'm going to stop you." he said, stopping for a second.
He knelt down, and punched the floor hard, sending cracks out in every direction. His Reiatsu flowed down his arm, forming the cracks into a perfect circle.
"Heart of the south, eye of the north, finger of the west, foot of the east, arrive with the wind and depart with the rain." he said, as the circle began to glow, numbers appearing on the floor. "Ahh... trying to lose us are you?" he asked, seeing the numbers change, showing her movement adjacent to Soukyouku hill.
He made a note of where she was headed, and began his travels again, off towards Soukyouku hill, hoping that Juno's zigzagging would slow her down enough to catch up.

"There's another reason, snake. I know it," Hotaru responded to the other woman's venomous accusation, before trying to run away, coughing up more blood.
"Hotaru! Get back here! You're in no condition to fight!" Called Galm, in vain. "Damn...I guess it can't be helped. Geki!"
Hotaru, having just been running blindly away, didn't respond to the kidou except to fall over, paralyzed. As Galm came up to her, she started to heal the now-panicking woman's Hemoptysis and the hole in her side that caused it.
"Hotaru...If I release you, you cannot go off to chase Juno. I understand that you want to, but you're letting your emotions get the better of your judgment. Even though you're no longer bleeding, if you fight Juno again, you won't stay that way for long. She wants to kill us, for whatever reason, while we just want to bring her in alive. That automatically puts us at a disadvantage, because, if given the chance to land a killing blow, we have to hold back, which she won't do. Do you understand?" A grunt. "Good."
Releasing her involuntary patient from the kidou she'd had to put on her, Galm walked over to Kotone. As she healed her kidney damage, she inquired, "You seem rational. What happened, exactly?"

After having recovered and being informed on what was happening while joining in the chase, Zero could only use one phrase to summarize how the situation appeared. "It seems that Shit has hit the fan, and the one behind it for effect..." Meanwhile, he began to curse the fact that his skills with most techniques was just a bit below average, at least when he wasn't in full synchro with Worokku.... Wait... That was it! He grinned evilly to himself as an idea formed in his mind.
"I guess if I can't keep up in a normal chase with speed alone... It's time for Tactics! Rock On, Worokku!!" Drawing his Zanpakutou and activating his Shikai, he channeled some reiatsu into the Buster, causing it to shift into a semi-normal blue glove, with a large green and yellow winged creature hovering just above his hand. "Ike, Dash Strike!!" He directed the manifestation of his reiatsu to the ground, before jumping on top of it's head(Or it's body. It was always hard to tell.), and allowing it to handle moving, while he focused on getting ready to do what he could to slow down the duo under pursuit. 'Let's hope I can keep up with this... Otherwise, I may as well just punch a hole in the ground, and pray I don't land on something sharp on whatever may be below...'

This chase was becoming stupid. The fastest person in all of Seireitei, possibly the world, was being chased by all of the less speedy. Tahoshi sighed as he thought about this fact. He then went on to think about how it would be unfair any other way... Whoever was running, Juno would have been able to get to them far too easily.
Finally, after leaping over several buildings, Tahoshi got to where he was going. He knelt down again to check positioning. By his calculations from earlier, this would be the perfect place to cut them off.
"Heart of the south, eye of the north, finger of the west, foot of the east, arrive with the wind and depart with the rain." Again, the numbers appeared on the floor in front of him, along with the details of his own position.
"Come on, turn this way..." he said quietly, standing up to prepare himself for his new technique... There was no way he'd be able to stop her effectively, she'd dodge any Kidou he could throw at her... so it made sense that knocking her out was the easiest way to stop her.

Still flash-jumping along, Razgriz called a sudden halt. Galm, after inquiring what was wrong, found out that the reason her captain hated Shunpo was because it was far too much open-air speed. "Planes are fine," he said, "because you don't feel the wind. But this...this just sucks. How far out are we?"
"Erm...270 yards, sir. She's losing us, and is doing it faster while we wait. Let's go."
"No. There's no way we can catch her. Unless..." Glancing about, Razgriz compared building heights. "Yeah...that'll do. Galm: You see that building there, just past sixth squad HQ? If we get on top of it, we can get a clear vantage point probably up until just before She gets to Soukyouku Hill. Think you could be a Kidou sniper?"
Smiling, Galm responded "Well, I could at least distract her."
"Good. That's all we'll need. I'm going to head towards the hill anyways. If you find a better vantage point, by all means head to it. Use lower-level spells, especially flashy ones; if you get too tired, go Shikai."
Concurring with him on this point, Galm then asked what a "flashy" low-level spell would be. Cracking a grin, Razgriz looked towards where he thought Juno would soon be. "Bing." A sphere of flame appeared, perfectly fused to his hand. Extending his arm towards his target, he continued. "Bang." The fireball shot off his palm and straight towards its target street. When he saw it cease moving, Razgriz finished. "Boom." The two saw a minor explosion, but it was far away.
Jumping down and continuing his run, Razgriz noted that the fireball that just went above him was brighter than his was. "Wow...she's that much better at kidou? She suffers everywhere else, though...don't die on me..."

Kaiya started running across the roads and dodging people with Dedrick hanging on her shoulder looking around. "Ah! Hurry Kaiya! Hurry!" Dedrick giggled making Kaiya twitch a bit, before jumping up to start running on the roof tops. "I'm not Rikka or Juno!!" whined Kaiya as she jumped down from the roof into an alleyway. Dedrick became silent after awhile, as he was deep in thought about something, making Kaiya look at him with curiosity. "Dedrick, what are you thinking about?" asked Kaiya as she swiftly turned almost bumping into an old man before regaining her boundaries. Dedrick was still silent as he looked at the sky, noticing no birds were flying.
"I just feel that something.....well bad is gonna happen" he whispered making Kaiya nod. "I'll move faster then Captain!" with that Kaiya seemed to move a little bit faster than before. "We got to catch up to them" Thought Dedrick as Kaiya sped threw the sea of people like they were nothing.

Rikka nodded and took the path that Tahoshi had told her to. She sensed that Juno was now moving in a zig-zag. She could also sense another person she knew well. Looking down from the roof she was on, she glimpsed a blur. "Kaiya...?" She asked herself as she started to slow to a stop. Figuring her friend hadn't heard about Juno she looked down and waved towards her. "Kaiya! Up here...bring Dedrick too!" Rikka added when she saw the little captain.

Kaiya and Dedrick heard a familiar voice and looked down. "AH! RIKKA!" beamed Kaiya as she jumped down to greet her friends. Dedrick on the other hand just glared at Rikka who in turn glared back. Making Kaiya sweat drop at the heated greeting. "Rikka, I'm glad we found you before you went into battle!" stated Kaiya getting a nod from her Captain. "Yes, Kaiya was extremely worried and wanted to go with you guys after getting permision" he stated moving a bit to make sure he was secure on her shoulder.
Rikka nodded and smiled. "Thanks, with you guys as our healers, I think we got a fighting chance" laughed Rikka making Kaiya laugh and Dedrick to roll his eyes. Rikka couldn't help, but to glare at the childlike Captain. "So, what the status on Juno?" asked Dedrick turning very serious. Rikka looked down before sighing. "What we know is that she turned Rogue" stated Rikka making Dedrick narrow his eyes. "Man, to fight against Juno" Kaiya said nervously as she knew her speed wasn't as fast as Juno's speed.
"Don't worry about speed Kaiya! Leave that to me, you just heal and block her attack" smiled Rikka reassuring her nervous friends. "Besides, I'm there too! So don't be nervous!" giggled Dedrick making Kaiya feeling better. "We better get going" stated Rikka as she turned and started to run in the direction of Soukyouku Hill.

After Rikka had turned, she sighed; with little Dedrick around... she was going to be better then him, or at least try. She lightly but her lower lip, she realized that she was faster then they were. She shook her head, at least for now she they were all going to enter a battle with decent odds. With two good healers and Zero, at least small casualties wouldn't be a big problem. She wasn't going to leave them behind and flash jumping at her top speed wore her out so, she figured she'd have a little fun.
She slowed her pace so she was beside Kaiya and Dedrick. She wanted to do something she knew Dedrick would hate... just to get back at him for before. She thought for a second until she thought of something. Giving Dedrick a teasing grin. She reached her hand out and pinched him cheek... exclaiming how cute he was a she did so. Then quickly back away and ahead of them out of his range.

Dedrick twitch before he started raging up a storm. "KAIYA! RUN FASTER! I AM GOING TO SHOW HER HOW PINCHING REALLY DONE!" shouted Dedrick in Kaiya's ear who sighed knowing that one of these days she was going to go death. Kaiya instantly did as she was told and started to catch up to Rikka. "Hehehehehe!" laughed Dedrick very evilly making Kaiya worry for Rikka's safety as she started running beside. And within a flash movement Kaiya saw that Dedrick slapped Rikka in the face with his sandal. "EH! DEDRICK!" panic Kaiya as Dedrick started laughing at Rikka.
Only for Rikka to glare back and started pulling Dedrick's hair. "WHY YOU! CHA!" Dedrick shoot off of Kaiya's shoulder before attacking Rikka in a Child like manner. Which consisted them of both pinching, scratching and hair pulling. It took Kaiya only five minutes to hit them HARD on the head. They finally calmed down, but still glared at each other as Dedrick made sure to be on the shoulder farthest away from Rikka and Rikka made sure to walk a little bit ahead. "You too are worse then sibling" Kaiya twitched before she noticed something. "Hey, were getting pretty close to that hill" stated Kaiya getting everyone to turn serious.
