Rukia drew her sword from its sheath. She didn't have access to her shikai just yet, but she could still wield the soul slayer in its sealed form with few difficulties. For now, she summoned Yuki. The green feathered chocobo shimmered into place at Rukia's side.

"Cast Haste," she commanded, and pointed at Jade. As long as he'd been here, his skills would be invaluable in this fight. He'd need as many buffs as possible. What was more, Rukia was unwilling to strike Palitutu until the Tarutaru hit first. Something about that conversation seemed oddly sad, and she wished to avoid taking her life unless there were no other way around it.

Yuki chirruped, ruffling her wings as she spun and elegantly bowed her head, the Haste spell accelerating Jade's movement and abilities.
