The first attack was made, and Jiro was ravenous. The Human was obviously angry--apparently, all of the Human lives Jiro and Ezequiel had taken infuriated the Human. Expected. Jiro immediately began his maddened rush towards the Human, his instincts beginning to take over. He was unable to resist the lure, unable to resist the urge to feast on a powerful soul.
In his crazed state, he wasn't careful. From the beginning of the battle, he took a hit from one of the random shots fired by the Human. He had been turning to find a new point in which to climb to the height of his target, and the glowing bullet crashed into the bone which extruded from his elbow like a blade. A feral roar escaped from the Hollow's mouth as the tip of the bone was completely broken off, almost down to his skin, and it fractured the rest of the bone in a large crack which delved even under the skin.
This snapped Jiro out of his rage, but only somewhat. Now he had become more wary, more cautious of the gun-toting Human.
What exactly is this person . . . Jiro pondered, but realized that he had no time to do so as he rushed forward, latching onto a building and scaling it. As he reached the top, only slightly beneath where the Human perched, Jiro made a mad dash across it in the direction of his target.

The human had begun his attack, firing several reiatsu pellets which were most likely intended to be used as bullets. This was a strange power indeed when taking in consideration that the hollow was so used to fighting nothing more than sword wielding apes, either way though an ability of this caliber would be nothing less than useless against the Gillian. With his fists coiled up tightly, the immense creature slammed his knuckles onto a nearby building, sending chunks of bricks along with a cloud of dust outward. The falling debris would then collide with the tiny projectiles, blocking them off from their intended target. Though a single bullet had forced its way though the rubble, its contact was nothing more than a graze, leaving Ezequiel with no wounds or pain to show for the humans actions. The towering giant had now begun to make his way toward the enemy, closing the area separating them from each other with swift strides. The Gillian was clearly amused. The idea of destroying everything around him sent ripples of energy throughout his body, soothing his cracked ego. The more his steps destroyed the ground below him the more the intense feeling of losing himself to nothingness subsided. Sniffing out the man’s unique reiatsu, Ezequiel would continue his path toward him until a mere 10 meters remained at which point he would be ready to strike. In the mean time he was planning much more. Upon passing nearby buildings and housing he would brush himself against them, causing few if not all to topple over. Though this may have just seemed like mindless acts of vandalism to the others, the only one who may have caught onto what Ezequiel was planning would be Animos, who was the only one to have previously bore witness to the Gillian’s unique power.

Watching from my perch 40 meters from the scene of the battle, I could not help but be amused at the actions of the human. Watching as his ten shots soared through the air, I could feel the power emanating from each bullet before they impacted upon various objects. I could feel the energy emanating from the human, his power on par with my own and slightly higher than Ezequiel's. What did worry me is the difference in power between the human and Jiro, their powers varied greatly in size. I wondered if there would be any chance of the small Hollow even surviving this battle, albeit injured greatly. If he is able to survive this battle, there would be many uses for him in the future but I will expand on that another time.
Having prepared to immediately leap out of the trajectory of the reiatsu bullets, the Gillian's own defense defended me from attack as well. Though danger was avoided, I did not like being so close to the battle; it did not suit my choice of watching from afar. With a single Sonido [1/20], I took myself 40 meters diagonally to the right, placing me roughly 50-60 meters from where the human stood. Retracting my comment from earlier, I now stood atop a building ten stories high as I peered out onto the battle from great distance and altitude. Should there be any attack heading my way, there would be enough distance for me to easily dodge them without trouble.
"I wonder who will prevail." [/i] Though I should be helping out the two Hollow take down the human, the thought never crossed my mind even once. Not even the thought of warning them about his abilities crossed my mind, I had no intention of participating in anything. I simply wished to watch and observe, taking in information as I contemplated on my own thoughts. Due to the actions of this human, my plans for the future are forcefully set in motion. The outcome of this battle will affect my next move for the future.[/blockquote][/font]

"Perfect."
It was all perfect, I realized as the monster took the bait, cocky in it's devices because of it's great size. However, what I lacked in size in comparison to this beast, I made up for in power and cunning. The monster's close approach marked the start of the real assault. My gun spun about the index finger of mine as it dynamically changed, it's maw opening, barrel extending both horizontally and vertically. It was no longer just a mere handgun, but not something several times more deadly. The second non-dominant hand shifted to catch the front of the weapon as a button was pushed labeled in small words as 'auto'.
A torrent of nine shots exploded forth from the barrel, diverted by the diverter (an attachment which can change the trajectory of a shotgun's bullets between spread horizontally or vertically from the normal radial spread) to be spread horizontally. That would mean that due to the range at which the weaker gillian was that there was almost an ensured hit. That was not all was done to ensure connection of bullet and hollow-flesh, but each shot - partly due to the 'kick' in the weapon, was shot at an increasing height from aimed downward all the way to his maximum leaning angle upward toward it. Getting hit with even a single one of these bullets was several times more deadly than that of the handgun. They would tear flesh from limb, or whatever the gillian had in this case.
Not to mention each bullet was imbued with a special property, due to a skill he had yet to ever reveal to anyone. I ignored the lesser hollow, able to sense it's small reiatsu. Everything was following through perfectly.
Reiiro (Soul Forge) Level: Moderate Description: The most basic of all Quincey Abilities, it is still one that takes some getting used to. Available to all Quincey, this technique actually does three specific things. The first is a type of attunement towards a specific type of weapon. These can range from swords, whips, bows, axes, picks; basically, take your pick of one weapon. The second ability is the ability to absorb Reiryoku, or Spirit Power, from the atmosphere. This capability is greatly enhanced in places of highly condensed Reiryoku, such as Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. Finally, Reiiro grants the user the capability of rapidly condensing the Reiryoku into Reiatsu, which is then used as fuel to perform Reibuki, Neo Quincey Powers, or Gintō spells. Restrictions: Must be a Neo Quincey.
Name: Geist-Leine (Spirit Tether) Level: Moderate. Description: When active an invisible field extends for ten meters, for five turns. Each bullet that is shot thereafter has a thin near-invisible spirit tether attached to it. By pulling on this tether, by simply willing it so within effective radius, a quincey can change the trajectory of the bullets one time. The field increases in range by two meters for every rank the quincey gains after four. Restrictions: User must have a gun reibuki. Must be at least Rank 4. Can only be used once per bullet, on a single bullet, or a group of bullets. Range: 12 Meters

Jiro continued his dash along the building directly across the street from his target. He watched the Human, to analyze what he would do, and found that he was focusing on the large Gillian instead of himself. Buildings were being toppled by the Gillian as he moved towards the gun-toting Human, who had just caused his gun to morph into a new form. A wave of hesitation came over the Hollow as he watched a spray of bullets devious out from the gun.
Something about the Human, and how he handled things, and the way that impact from the bullet had felt . . . something told Jiro that the Human was strong. Stronger than he had anticipated. In the event that he would need to flee, Jiro decided to conserve his use of sonido as to not wear himself out. Instead, he leaped from the building he was on and ran across the street, until the Human disappeared from his field of vision as he came upon the building his target sat upon.
Using his claws, he sunk his hands into the building and began to scale it. He would continue like this until he reached the floor directly beneath his target, where he would bash in the wall, falling in with it. As the dust cleared, he found himself in a dark room with a low ceiling, lit only by the pale rays let in through the hole he had created and a small window on the opposite side of the room.
Jiro looked about frantically, attempting to devise a plan.

((OOC: Sorry guys. I know I haven't been posting much these few days but unfortunately my school works started to pile up. I will still try to make at least 1 or 2 posts a day so I don't slow things down but I wouldn't expect anymore than that until I'm done which will take a couple of days.)) The human’s weapon had taken a whole new form, however in the Gillian’s eyes nothing much had changed. Of course in reality the object in question would not have merely changed in shape unless there would be some kind of new power to follow its strange form. Now only 10 meters at most away from the man, Ezequiel would raise his arm high, all five of his boney white fingers held steady as they aimed at the building the human was located upon. Sensing an incoming danger, the hollow would order a squall of crows to dart out from the buildings he had been previously knocking over. In actual fact the rubble had molted into the black birds as they made contact with the Gillian, causing a squall of loud and harsh cries as the torrent of feathered creatures flew upward and toward Ezequiel as if forming a pitch black barrier. Awaiting for the humans actions, the titan would condense a ball of red energy just ahead of his fingertips. Unfortunately before he could move onto the offensive the glowing orb would have to be compressed to its optimum size, which would be difficult as the man had already began launching his second wave of attacks. Having both underestimated his own size and the crows speed, there were now only enough to form a barrier to obscure small portions of his body. With the shots being fired however there was no time to think or act accordingly especially whilst having to charge his own attack in the midst of this chaos. In a circular fashion, the birds would clot together in order to shield their creator from harm, or at least this is what should have happened. It was thought to be unlikely; however the spray of bullets had simply passed through and lacerated the crows as they headed for their target. With no other option, Ezequiel stood his ground as the bullets pierced and embedded themselves onto his chest. Luckily the majority of the crows had been concentrated at one specific spot to prevent any shrapnel from reaching the Gillian’s mask however either way the damage had been done. With adrenaline soaring through his veins, the large creature would ignore his pain and injuries for a few moments as he fired his cero in a wide pillar of energy. The cero would first blast its way through the building the man was standing on, utterly demolishing it as the beam headed upward as it tried to collide with the human should he drop downward or simply decide to remain on the falling rooftop. "Die."

As I watched the battle from afar, I could not help but feel sorry for Jiro, the weakest of the entities here. Not just due to his weakness but the fact he had partnered up with an uncaring Gillian only proved to make him seem more pitiful. As I watched the Gillian prepare his own attack, a Cero, I wondered if Ezequiel even knew that Jiro stood directly below where the human stood. I also wondered if Jiro knew that if he did not move from his position, he would be annihilated by the Cero fired from the Gillians extremities. I doubted Ezequiel even cared that his attack could kill Jiro, he likely only cared about satisfying his hunger. I could not help but feel sorry for the pair, their minds barely matured unlike mine.
Raising my fingers, I began to gather reiatsu a few away from the tip of my fingers. the energy converging into something different. The energy possessed no hostile intent like the large Gillians or anything of that sort. As I waited for my technique to complete, I continued to watch the battle from afar, hoping the Gillian and Hollow would not perish. Though I could not shake the feeling they stood no chance against this human, whose weapon seemed much different than I remembered it from our past encounters. It somehow seemed larger, stronger, yet I could not truly make out much detail from this distance.
It was not just the Gillian and Hollow who interest me but also this human, the extent of his power changing ever so fast. Our powers always seeming to be on par no matter how strong I became, I deemed him a rival of sorts though I doubted he saw me that way. His past and current actions lead me to believe he saw Hollow as nothing more than monstrosities, creatures bent on death and destruction. The sad part of it all, I could not help but agree on this matter — that is exactly what Hollow are in essence.

There was some sort of odd mass of birds that seemed to act as fodder for the monster as I shot. They collectively got in the way of many of the bullets that sprayed forth from my weapons maw, but were in the end no match for the sheer power and number of them. A great number of them impacted the monster's flesh, searing into it's body and causing great harm - not enough to put it down, but enough to harm it, enough to show me that my tactics were effective.
During the whole fiasco the gillian managed to charge it's own attacks, and even while being off balance fire it's cero - which in itself amazed me. My own experience firing projectiles of any kind guided me in understanding it's trajectory coupled with the monster's 'ripping' of the continuous stream. I had used the same effect once before, and knew it's fatal flaw. However, I couldn't be certain and thus resorted to the simplest and easiest way to dodge projectiles; I sidestepped. Of course the distance I had moved had warranted another word for the action, however the purpose was there. By moving to the right, using a pivot to a small leap, I was able to escape a nasty hit. There was more than enough space on the building to accommodate such.
As this happened, in the midst of my small bound, my left hand would join my right and in a flash of light produce a weapon identical to the first. This would leave me with dual shotguns, the first reloading, and this second ready to go. Without a word I would pull the trigger and allow a second torrent of nine shots to be expelled forth except I aimed higher this time, not using a diverter but instead focusing the majority of the attack at the monster's mask, the vein of the source of it's power.
I made sure to keep a small fraction of my power transfixed on the sensing of the locations of both the other hollows. There was no sense getting flanked when the tides of battle were so in my favor.

Jiro moved quickly, directly underneath where he remembered the Human to be, allowing his four limbs to carry him in his beastly run. Something changed his plans, however, as the building shook as something massive struck it. Assuming it was likely his Gillian ally, as he didn't think the Human would destroy the building he was upon, he concluded that it could be an attack directed not only at the building, but at the Human as well.
With this in mind, he cursed and leaped backwards from beneath the Human. Moments later, a massive red beam tore through where he had stood, ripping the building in half and sending his half plummeting to its side. Immediately, Jiro began a dash towards the tear in the building, catching sight of his target with his newfound view above. Just as Jiro reached the opening between his half and the Quincy's half of the building, he noticed another light forming in his opponent's hands.
Another weapon? Jiro thought as he leaped forward and over the gap, placing him once more directly beneath the Human. With the low ceilings, Jiro immediately leaped upwards and crashed into the ceiling directly beneath the Human, in an attempt to take out the floor which he stood on and hopefully interrupt any attacks he might have had planned for Jiro's Gillian ally. Jiro did not leap directly through the floor, however, and instead destroyed the ceiling with his limbs and fell back down to the floor he had been on previously. He did not want to crash through and find himself right next to the Human, not with two guns that could rip through his body like butter.

The Gillian’s eyes flickered for a moment as they caught glimpse of the hollow. Up until this point the fact that Jiro was still here had eluded Ezequiel, although in fairness he highly doubted in the first place that both he and Animos would be willing to lend any aid in the battle. As a large section of the rooftop fell downward in chunks of rubble and dust, the large creatures anger only intensified as he found the human to be safe and sound, retreated onto the small portion of the roof that had not been hit by the cero. With nothing to show for his efforts, the titan grit his teeth in pain, his wounds damaging little his body but more so his pride. Clearly the structural integrity of the building had suffered, however with his so called ally on it; he would have to resist his deep urges to utterly demolish it or at least for now. In blinding specs of light the man had morphed the air around him into a second gun, almost identical to his first. Such a weapon was still almost a mystery to the Gillian however he had discovered what kind of attack to expect from it but more importantly the fact that the weapons needed reloading after a set amount of shots. Betting that the man would fire his newly formed weapon before his original had reloaded; the towering monstrosity would wait patiently as he kept his eyes locked onto the barrel of the gun. With a flash triggering the firing of the weapon, he would dart away from the bombardment of projectiles with the aid of Sonido, transitioning from his original location to 15 meters and toward the right of the human. “Just how far back is that weapons range?” He grinned as he whispered those words to himself, clearly intending to find out. In the meantime he would await Jiro’s actions, inconspicuously sending what little flock of crows had survived the man’s assault toward the side of the building and out of sight; their numbers spanning to no more than a dozen at best. 1/10 Sonido

A rip in time and space manifested a creation within the the human dimension, two rows of black pillars parted to create the mouth of the Garganta Infinita. Called forth in the wake of my channeled reiatsu, here resided a inter-dimensional gate to Hueco Mundo and much more. A sea of darkness and a violent torrent of tearing reiatsu awaiting me, I took my first steps into the Garganta; eyes peering to watch the last moments of a battle. There is no need for me to retain my position here, as I could already tell the outcome of the battle from the few passing moments I watched.
Though I should have partaken within this battle, I saw no obligation to help my fellow Hollow in their time of need. Though I received partial human emotions as a result of my Gillian transformation, I am still nothing more than a Hollow. A creature who thinks nothing of others and only themselves, selfish and greedy creatures wishing to do nothing but devour. I did possess a hint of mercy for I chose not to kill my own kind out of pity for their battle lusting ways. I knew and understood, a warrior only battles when he is forced to do so; there is no need for unnecessary bloodshed. The Gillian and Hollow brought this reign of terror upon themselves for succumbing to their selfish desires; their hunger to feed getting the better of them.
"I wish you all the best of luck." [/i] Within moments the Garganta Infinita would close its maw, taking me away from the human realm. My spiritual presence suddenly vanishing and likely alerting all to my actions within moments. Whether they choose to hate me or whatever they may think of me, it is I who shall survive and gain more knowledge. Proceeding to destinations unknown and to my next encounter with entities of the unknown. Exit. [/blockquote][/font]

As the position of the weaker hollow shifted, confusingly appearing below me, there was only one conclusion as to where he was. The floor below me started to cave in at the same moment I would have touched it, however I would not fall. Instead, the air would seemingly ripple like water as I stepped upon it, gracing the surface where there really was none. A string was pulled before I used a hirenkyaku to pursue the gillian I had been battling, while when the strings were pulled they arced the bullets in such a way that they were redirected toward the small hollow that had previously been under me. All the while the hirenkyaku taking me within five meters of the gillian.
Immediately exiting the hirenkyaku I wasted no time, firing another torrent of bullets toward the gillian ignoring for now it's minions that I had outran with my hirenkyaku - though they would reach me eventually. My left weapon began to shine in that familiar glow, as I waited for the charging period to end, landing safely upon another close building.
"That one gillian left. Perfect, you lackeys surely can't even touch me."

Jiro was beginning to realize exactly how powerful this Human was. As the floor shattered beneath him, he began walking on the very air, and Jiro simply fell to the floor beneath him as the debris fell around him. Suddenly the Human disappeared, reappearing in the air closer to the Gillian than before. Immediately Jiro jumped up through the hole he had created, setting his claws against the top of the building and pushing himself over the edge. As he looked up, he saw a group of bullets heading straight for where he had been--causing most of them to miss. However, a few of the bullets, due to their trajectory, would pass through where Jiro was located at before moving to his previous location. Dodging to the right, he managed to avoid most of the bullets, but took a single bullet, passing through his front and out his back just to the left of his stomach. A roar of pain escaped the Hollow, and he looked to the Human for revenge. He found that his target was in the air near the Gillain, however, making it difficult to attack. As his side bled out, he looked about, realizing he had to move quickly as the building collapsed. Moving to the front of the building, he turned and jumped, landing on the previous inside of the wall, now torn open and exposed. Utilizing his ability, he decreased the amount of friction created with his body to near nothing and slid down the side with little resistance. As he reached ground level, he increased the amount of friction greatly, causing a rain of sparks as a side effect, but stopping him just before he crashed into the ground. Changing his body back to normal, he leaped from the now almost completely horizontal building and safely onto the street. As he did, he turned to watch his target far up in the sky. Name: [Original Hollow Trait] Level: Average Description: This is the base ability of all Jiro's abilities. It allows him to manipulate the friction his own body creates against other objects, but only generally. He can either increase it so much his body is forced to almost completely stop abruptly, or decrease it so that he almost never stops moving (causing him to slide/skate). Of course, he can also return it to normal. This ability to manipulate friction can provide a number of tactics for combat, if used creatively (such as causing his body to create an abnormal amount of friction during a high speed movement (not sonido), causing the incredible amount of fricton to create sparks/flames/heat). Restrictions: Must be Kuroike Jiro.

A slight ‘tch’ would escape the hollows lips as he noticed a rapidly fading reiatsu. Undoubtedly it belonged to Animos, who was clearly making a swift retreat, despite not having done much till this point. Of course in the first place Ezequiel knew himself that neither the Gillian nor the hollow would feel obligated to help him in this fight, though it was that exact thought that only surprised him further as he found Jiro to still be here and showing no signs of escaping, or at least in this moment of time. Shifting his focus back onto the battle he would catch a glimpse of the incoming bullets, which rather unfortunately had arced from their trajectory and shot themselves once again toward the now lone Gillian. This battle was now starting to seem rather hopeless, calling for a change of tactics. With this thought embedded onto his head, he would once again escape the hail of bullets with the aid of a high speed maneuver, though this time things would go a little different. With almost instantaneous flickering, the titanic monster would appear behind the man, simultaneously sending his fist toward him in an attempt to send him flying into a nearby building or at least injure him to a certain extent. His hopes were that the man’s overconfidence would get the better of him as he wouldn’t be expecting a close range assault, or at least that was the plan. 2/10 Sonido

The sudden disappearance of the gillian had certainly took me for surprise. However, there was no way that the beast could move through the greater portion of the city without making any noise, or crashing into anything. It was likely it employed it's own version of high-speed movement, which threw it linearly in a direction. In order to appear behind me, from a stationary position relative to where it was it would have to go through the building. Through - as in, tearing the building asunder, consequently telling me it's intended location. Thus, as it would do so, I would hop onto a pocket of air, pivoting and turning, before expelling not a torrent of bullets, but a condensed beam of reiryoku, at where he would appear - factoring in aiming toward the upper half at an angle toward the mask. According to the timing, shooting the beam right as it exited it's high-speed movement would be even before it punched, thus interrupting the action.
If there was an impact there would be nothing left of the creature, and the impact was assured, the distance between the two negligible.
Name: Ganz Geistig Vertreibung (Full Spiritual Expulsion) Level: Very High. Description: Through mastery over their abilities to use spiritual particles, a gun toting Quincey gains the ability to manipulate their shots in a rather unique form. Rather than shooting singular bullets the Quincey can now prepare 'beams' of Reiryoku (Spirtual Power) to use to combat the oncoming Hollow menace. The atmosphere is combed for spiritual particles, of which are constantly siphoned into the Quincey's gun. As the gun charges it begins to shine brightly as more and more spiritual particles are gathered, taking a total of one post to completely charge. Upon pulling of the trigger a 'beam' of Reiryoku (Spiritual Power) of a diameter of one meter and length of five meters is released. The 'beam' itself travels at 2/3 the speed of a typical Quincey bullet (of which travels just shy of the speed of a paint ball), and only has effective radius of thirty meters. When the beam hits this 'wall' of effectiveness is dissipates into the world harmlessly. As the user grows in specialist level and rank they will gain the ability to use the power more often, building upon a basic usage limit of three times per thread.
* Mahodo Non-Specialist: +0 Every Rank.
* Mahado Specialist: +1 Every Two Ranks.
* Mahado Master: +1 Every Rank.
Restrictions: Must be Neo Quincey. Must be using gun Reibuki. Must be able to Soul Forge. Cannot use/perform Quincey skill/powers over "Low" level whilst charging. Requires one post preparation and then one post cooldown before it can be used again, during which the Quincey's abilities to manipulate their Reibuki to fire bullets is inhibited halving their effectiveness. Uses: 3 Remaining: 2

||enter. Cowards, the lot of them. It would appear Hollows chose a much more statistically favorable outcome on a three against one match up. A man holding a oddly shaped weapon was the one whom I would side with, as he was more closely related to my kind than that of a Hollow. From afar, I would watch closely upon the three creatures that would attempt to eviscerate this valiant fighter upon an advantage through numbers. However, I would summon the presence of myself to lessen this advantage, and in a sense, balance out the weight of the fight effectively. With my hand placed upon Fiinikkusu, I would unsheathe her to fully expose the radiance of which she expressed.
My soon to be ally could be inferred by me that he was not a Shinigami, as the obvious lack of Zanpakutou brought this to my attention. This did not rule out him acknowledging my hand of assistance, for I was certainly one to be of comradeship, for I was here to join forces with the man. I would expect this very day to be the ignition to my successful debut of eliminating the cruel existence of Hollow from all man kind, as now, I would draw my blade for the first time to meet with a Hollow.
"Otaku Samurai, Shinigami of the Eleventh Division, here to assist in what seems to be a disadvantage on your part. Not for long however, for the combination between my blade and your oddly crafted weapon will extinguish these foul creatures from existence. [/center] In regards to the Hollow, I would stand waiting, 10 meters from them with my Zanpakutou fully drawn. Analyzing the battle field for a certain strategy would be an important part, as I would anxiously wait for the correct time and place to position myself in a poise to strike. [/font]

The attention had been drawn from Jiro once more--his very existence was one of little importance to any of the combatants, apparently. Jiro was beginning to see why, however; his skills were petty comparably, and he could do little. Still, he wouldn't give up and run, not until he had to. As he gazed about, apparently Animus had done exactly that. Or, rather, never participated at all. His previous words rung in Jiro's head, but he pushed them from his mind and returned to the battle at hand. Another voice echoed about the place, and from its words, was apparently aligned with the Human. Jiro didn't bother himself with the person yet, as the current concern was the gun-wielding Human. Though he disliked it, he forced himself to use a sonido, disappearing and quickly reappearing directly next to the Human just before he released his attack at the newly appeared Ezequiel, attacking with his left claw in an upward diagonal strike. He hoped to at least knock the Human off balance or redirect his attack. As he fell he turned to the new enemy and landed on all fours on the ground, creating a small crater. Immediately he began running towards the new enemy, as to take him on. 1/4 Sonido

“Another annoyance has shown up” Ezequiel thought to himself, dreading what awaited him now that the battle only sought to intensify further. Bursts of flashing light expelling from the humans weapon signaled some kind of prerequisite to a huge attack, possibly strong enough to finish off the Gillian with one shot. Fear would simply not cease to plague the monstrosity as his arm grew ever closer to what seemed like his instrument of death, though as luck would have it, the reaper would not be paying him any visits anytime soon. With the blast of energy bursting from the barrel of the weapon with intense pressure and quickly thrusting itself toward the Gillian, he would have little to no time to dodge the incoming threat as he titled his head to the side in a feeble attempt to dodge the attack should it be aimed at his mask. In an turn of events, his right hand had been obliterated to pay penance for his narrow survival which was down to some unknown reason. Perhaps the man had never been aiming for the creatures mask in the first place which seemed apparent as the beam had missed its mark by several degrees, although it would not be impossible to say Jiro had succeed in startling the man just enough to throw off his aim, though either way Ezequiel had been far too fixated on the beam which had obscured his vision to notice such things. Screaming in pain over his slaughtered arm, the Gillian would take several instinctive steps backward as his cries soon morphed to unsettling rage. Previously when the beam had been fired, Ezequiel had ordered his feathered minions to dive onto the man, each one simultaneously detonating in a fiery explosion with a radius of half a meter. Undoubtedly the man would be able to dodge the attack despite his attention being allocated onto more pressing issues, however with him having no previous recollection of the birds ability to explode in a mass of energy capable of tearing through flesh, it would be near impossible for the man to know just what kind of danger was heading his way.

I relished internally in my achievement, having severed the monster's arm and nearly the entirety of that side of it's body. However, there was little time to do such things, alerted to my former mental note about the bird-like constructions that had seemingly been controlled by the hollow. Thus, my attack and it's successful connection was followed by a Hirenkyaku, taking me another distance of ten meters away from the hollow and thusly further away from the birds - just before their sudden explosion - which surprised me, causing me to nearly slam into an adjacent building from the slight push they had given me during my Hirenkyaku's conception.
"So that's it, huh? The limit of your ability." I spat, "Worthless."
The spiritual particles of both of my weapons dispersed, before they transformed into something different once again - returning to the form of a handgun, a USP to be specific. Each began to glow with a peculiar glow before I fired at the beast, each shot (8) imbued with an extra 'push'. Surely this monster was nearly at it's energy limits, whereas I didn't use my own finite supply of reiatsu, but rather relied on reishi and reiryoku of which there was nearly infinite.
Reiiro (Soul Forge) Level: Moderate Description: The most basic of all Quincey Abilities, it is still one that takes some getting used to. Available to all Quincey, this technique actually does three specific things. The first is a type of attunement towards a specific type of weapon. These can range from swords, whips, bows, axes, picks; basically, take your pick of one weapon. The second ability is the ability to absorb Reiryoku, or Spirit Power, from the atmosphere. This capability is greatly enhanced in places of highly condensed Reiryoku, such as Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. Finally, Reiiro grants the user the capability of rapidly condensing the Reiryoku into Reiatsu, which is then used as fuel to perform Reibuki, Neo Quincey Powers, or Gintō spells. Restrictions: Must be a Neo Quincey.
Name: Antriebschuß (Impulse Shot) Level: Moderate Description: When activated the user's current reibuki is granted an extra concussive force per shot, for double the reiatsu cost of a normal shot. Until deactivated when a bullet comes into contact with any surface be it flesh or stone it will generate kinetic push for five meters, increasing by one meter every rank after obtained. At first the push will have the force behind it move a two-hundred pound object, the force increases by fifty pounds every two ranks the user obtains. If the user switches reibuki type, such as switching from handgun to machinegun, while this is active it will be deactivated, and needed to be activated again. Restrictions: Neo Quincey. Projectile-based Reibuki.

The Hollow would subject his attention entirely upon me. He was an odd looking creature whom took movement upon all fours. I could easily sense this creatures reiatsu as he began making his assault directly towards me. This simple charge would leave a plethora of openings, allowing me to react accordingly. During my opponents reign of terror, the other Hollow, whom was having a difficult time with his rival alone, subsequently lost a precious limb in the trades of battle. I figured the man could quite easily hold his own, as he had already managed to accomplish defeating one of the three, and nearly the second of the remaining Hollow. The Hollows arm would be severed as an illuminating beam would blast through the air, passing clear through the Hollows arm in a profuse manner. The attempted dodge of simply moving his body a few feet over was not capable to evade such an enormous force of energy, as his arm would be blown clear off leaving a mass of blood to replace the texture of the ground.
However, my attention had not bee taken off its course of action so easily, as the Hollow who sought to defeat me was still charging forth. With my hands placed firmly upon the hilt of Fiinikkusu, I would meet my foe head on. Forcing the weight upon the heels of my feet, I would lunge forwards in a speed to match my enemy. My sword would be raised directly in front of me, to allow for a downward strike directly towards the mask of my opponent. As our distance was being cut, I would realize that we literally obtained equivalent speeds to one another, making this match interesting.
Upon reaching a 3 foot distance, I would bring down Fiinikkusu in haste, building the momentum on her descend towards the Hollows mask. A Shunpo would remove me from sight upon the outcome of the strike. If the blade had connected with the Hollow or any form of reaction, I would reappear in the only blind spot most forms of enemies would obtain. I would be repositioned behind my opponent, on its right side. Following the original strike, the Shunpo would throw off the way of the battle considering a straight forward attack would be rebut with a slash from behind.
Now on his right shoulder through the use of a Flash Step, behind his view (back side) my Zanpakutou would be at chest height, where I would bring my right elbow roughly even with my right shoulder, while my left arm would be bent to hold on to the hilt. My Zanpakutou would now be extended directly passed the Hollows side, but only for a split second. A quick flick of the wrist, would allow the left and right hand apply a mass of power towards the side of the creature, would bring the blade directly into its side, lodging itself deep within. If landed, a clean cut would slice directly through the rib cage of the Hollow and would be forcefully removed from the same side, slicing through flesh on its way out as it had on its way in. Depending on the reaction of the beast would motivate a distinct reaction accordingly.
1/8 Shunpo
