Giovannis act of defense must have awarded him some sort of merit. The members of the Sect seemed to incorporate him into their fighting style as soon as he rejoined the battle. The hollows that remained required multiple people to take them down. They were smarter, faster and stronger than your usual hollow. Thankfully they continued to fight separately. If the hollows started working together it would have gotten a lot worse. Not to mention the super hollow that was still not dead.

Gio and some others surrounded one of the big hollows. Together they closed in on it in a pattern. As they moved forward they all shunpo'd and continued their assault from other directions. The hollow was unable to track the movement of everyone so the sect attacked from blind spots. It was attack and retreat. Attack and retreat. Attack and retreat. Every time the hollow turned another attacked it's blind spot. But this thing wasn't dying. It kept regenerating and maintained a stable guard of its vital spots. Everything else grew back quickly. Gio took notice that it never looked up and the next flash switch gio went up. After a couple more rounds of attack and retreat gio came down on the hollow stabbing it in the head. It didn't die though, it flailed to and fro trying to shake Gio out of its face. the others took the opportunity to go in fot the kill, slicing at where they believed its major organs to be. Together they cut the beast down. all that remained now was the one fight between the Sect leader and the super hollow. 

Gio took a step forward but someone put a hand on his shoulder "easy there Mouse, big guy knows what he is doing" The man tried to assure Gio. "this isnt the first adjuches he fought"

Gio looked closer at the hollow "that...is an Adjuches? what the hell is it doing out here?"

"who knows? but it will be dead soon" the man replied as their leader was beginning to drive the hollow back. The leader fought with vigor but more notably he fought with ambidexterity. it didnt matter that he was a phenomenal hakuda master if he couldnt cut into the hollow, thus the ambidexterity. at first glance it looked like the sword was in the way of his fighting style, but it was not true. any and every minuscule opening the man made in the hollows defenses where attacked with the blade and an amazing speed. such a simple technique mastered to an amazing level was something he figured was learned in squad 2, if he had to guess. they excelled in hand to hand and zanjutsu, not so much kido. 

"hey Mouse" one of the men addressed Gio, he wasnt sure why everyone decided to call him that but now wasnt really the time to figure that out. 

"what?" he asked not taking his eyes off the fight

"your good with kido. can you pin him down if you get the chance?"

"Sure can, just say the word " gio admitted

"i'll help you, one of my zanpakuto's ability is to share energy freely. "

"lets do it" gio nodded and the man put a hand on his back, spiritual pressure flowed into him, as he stabbed Sorareo-O into the ground infront of him. after a moment he was ready. 

but the battle between the Sect leader and the adjuches raged on, relentlessly. at someone elses signal a large number of the sect members lept into the battle. it was a tactic similar to the one they used against the last hollow. a lot of Shunpo from everyone trying to disorientate the adjuches. The response was to charge a cero but that gave the leader just enough time to shunpo into range of a mighty round house kick that knocked the adjuches into the ground. 

Giovanni clasped his hands together, with the fingers intertwined intricately, "bakudo 75" 5, Giant pillars slammed the hollow to the ground. for good measure he threw another set on top of it, doubling the force of the binding. With the target bound and immobile it almost seemed like over kill with all the long ranged attacks being hurled at the creature. kido blast, and zanpakuto abilities of the masses all culminated into one massive explosion that left behind no trace of the hollow. If an adjuches was that strong Perhaps Giovanni had a bit more training to do before he was ready for that liuetenant spot. those things tended be tough for lieutenants to match. but that was a matter for another time. for now all eyes were on him. and suddenly he knew why they were calling him Mouse
