Late Night [O]

[Akuma]

Strolling down the streets of Karakura Town, darkness covered the sky as the world remained quiet and still. It was an unusual time for him to be strolling around in the middle of the night, especially alone. Passing through a few cars, he looked up to notice the moon was out tonight as it was lighting up the streets. It was real late, as it even surprised himself for being out in the street at this time of night. Realizing the dangers, as he knew that one of those mysterious monsters can attack the town at this night. 'Could he handle one by himself, could he survive, could the lone Advent defeat the monstrous beast using his latent power.

Who knows, just time will tell as he knew that one day that moment will come and he will have to come to reality in actually fighting a monster'. Struggling it off to the side, Akuma strolled through the dark, moonlit night of the quiet town, not expecting to see or run into anyone of any kind. The lone Advent wanted to learn more about these strange, powerful monsters that roam the streets of Karakura Town, trying to kill people for some strange reason. Hoping to get some answers to who the monsters were and what were their purpose was, as the only thing running in his mind was why in earth was he roaming the streets at this time at night.

[Zieg]

Calm down. Catch your breath. It's over...

Matsu attempted to slow his heart beat and regain some of his breath, as he had been previously running from something, obviously. This was the second time this had happened. At first he only considered it a once in a lifetime thing to be attacked by the black creature. But for it to happen again was simply ridiculous. It could have meant something, but Matsu wasn't one to believe in destiny, or fate, or anything like that. Just horrible luck. He had it all his life. Why would these new years change any?

He continued walking down the street at a rather hurried pace. Just in case he hadn't lost the monster and it was somewhere lurking and looking for him. Were he able to go home then he would be able to sleep easy. Hopefully...

He cut the corner of a large unfinished building being constructed. The various warning signs and blocks were surrounding it like tiny armor, attempting to keep people away from it. As he came across this corner he would find an opening to an intersection just a block up. The light from the moon illuminated most the area, so he could see it well. He could also see a lone man traveling. An awkward hour to be out strolling. Not only that, but something might come to get him, just as this "something" came for Matsu himself.

Matsu decided to approach. His hands were left digging into his jean pockets. A chain hung off slightly of a wristband he wore on his right wrist. His left wrist too bore a second black wristband, but it was not surrounded in a chain similar to the first. His jacket sleeves barely fell over to cover them. They fitted well around his muscular arms.

As he came closer he realized the man had a look just as odd as his own. Spiked pure white hair, and a body just as covered in muscle as his own. This guy wasn't just some street thug, or rat. He dedicated his time to training. That or he was naturally gifted with a body that could break faces. Either way Matsu worried little. Had the two matched in strength and mind, Matsu still had his special ability revealed to him through his training. An ability perhaps no one else knew.

"Hey. Bit dangerous to be out this late. Some odd creatures lurk around here, ya know?" Matsu waved his hand up and waved a bit at the start of his speech. As he stepped in front of the man just about two meters distance from each other he halted in walk.

[Akuma]

Roaming through the dark, moonlit streets of Karakura Town, the streets were empty and grew silent like a graveyard. Akuma hated when everything around him seemed a little to quiet but he knew that he could handle himself if anything were to go down. Kicking a soda can to the side while he continued through the long, lonely streets of his hometown, he wondered why was he given his powers for. What purpose was his powers for and why out of everyone he knew, why was he given the power instead of someone else.

Many things roamed through the mind of the Advent. Other things went through his mind, such as training and how he could improve his own abilities. Also, he wondered he would pair up against a hollow if he came upon one. As the moon's light shined his pathway through the street, he noticed a man off in the distance heading his own, approaching him. Just as he wondered about himself, why was this man out in the street at this time of night. Looking and glaring at the man as he approached him, he resembled and reminded him of himself, especially with the style of clothing and hair which he favored.

A breeze would sweep by, gentle massaging and carring his hair in the wind, blowing his hair ever so gentle and with care. Then Akuma heard the following words escape the man's mouth, 'Hey. Bit dangerous to be out this late. Some odd creatures lurk around here, ya know?' The word 'creature' echoed through his mind, as could this man mean what he thought he meant or did the man ment something else. Could this man mean hollow or the simple street thugs that roam the streets. But to him, he knew that even at this time, it would be rare to find a thug at this hour.

He was quite curious and also suspicous of the man's words. Then suddenly, he notice that the man was slightly out of breath. What could he be running from, could it be a hollow? If so, he was prepared to test his powers out. "Just taking a stroll around the block a bit, couldnt sleep much." Said Akuma, laughing at his own lie, as he wouldnt sure if he should tell the truth and be honest to this stranger. "It's dangerous but trust me, I can take care of myself.

But anyway, I always seem to run into strange creatures all the time." Said Akuma, laughing a bit to himself as he extended his hand. Upon extending his hand, he hand was filled with small amount of reiatsu, as he knew that this was the only test to see if he was spiritually aware like him as he knew that only his kind of people could see the reiatsu. If this man was similar to him, he could respond by doing the same thing.

[Zieg]

This time, it was Akuma's turn to dig into Matsu's head, when he used the word "creature". Matsu cocked an eyebrow as he had spoken. His earlier comment was normal enough. Matsu himself did enjoy a nightly stroll. Considering he could deal with any thugs or students whom felt like starting trouble. And judging from Akuma's body, he assumed Akuma could too.

But not this time. This time Matsu hung on to the word like a fish on a hook. He took his previously raised hand and lowered it back into his pocket. The wind picked up, and had moved Matsu's hair, just slightly.

"Those creatures wouldn't happen to be large black shadows with freaky lookin masks would they?" A large laugh burst from his mouth when he spoke. He had expected the man to look at him with a ridiculous look and shrug the comment off.

[Akuma]

Upon paying his respects to the man with a simple handshake gesture, more hints of this man being just like him continued to unravel and unfold. First, strolling through the streets at this time of night was the first clue. Second, this man was in great shape and form as well as use words such as 'creature'. Although, that clue was still on the fence for the mean time.

Then something struck him by complete surprise. 'Those creatures wouldn't happen to be large black shadows with freaky lookin masks would they?' The words that just escaped his mouth, could he be meaning something else or is he being straightforeward by telling him that he is just like him as well. He knew that he had to get this overwith because he wanted to gain more allies for future assistance if needed, as well as to hopefully gain some information about the strange creatures roaming around.

"My name is Akuma Masayume." He said as he had forgotten to give out his name to this stranger. "To be straight honest, yes. I have seen strange monsters roaming around since I was young. For some strange reason, only I can see and feel those monsters instead of everyone else. " Said Akuma as he wasnt sure if he should continue and reveal that he has supernatural powers which no one else possesses or have seen before. But what the hell, he might as well come out since this man was seeing the same things as himself. "Also, I have special....gifts that no one else has."Said the Advent, hoping that he doesnt regret telling this strange man his secret.

[Zieg]

The wild laughing man would cease his noise, once Akuma had spoken again, giving out his full name. It had struck Matsu that he hadn't done the same. He forgot this simple matter, as just about everyone knew him as Matsu the Dragon, or Matsuryu. The few he considers friends knows him as simply Matsu. He couldn't recall a time ever needing to give out his full name, or so he couldn't remember.

Akuma continued to speak. So he was right. He has once before encountered the creature too. Interesting enough his simple joke had allowed him to stumble upon someone who could answer his questions. It seemed that no one of this particular world knew about the creatures. Or at least no one lived to tell about it. Furthermore he insinuated he had an ability similar to Matsu's own. Something only they could do and no one else...well not entirely no one else anymore. The chances of two of them meeting this night were rather low if the ratio of gifted humans were low. Means there must be more.

Matsu had decided to speak after the man finished his own dialogue. "Name's Matsu. People call me Matsu the Dragon, or Matsuryu for short. As for you, you seem to know things that others don't. I'd like to ask you some questions, if you don't mind." Matsu's eyes grew sharp, as he looked onto the man. He didn't have reason not to trust Akuma, for he did share the information that he did, but he wanted more. It wasn't enough.

[Akuma]

Akuma began to reveal his deepest secrets to a man he had never met before. Why would he reveal his secrest so soon, especially to a man he never met. He wasnt quite sure but he just had a feeling that he could trust this man for some strange reason. Upon giving out his name in a respectful manner, the man responded by giving back his own name. 'Name's Matsu. People call me Matsu the Dragon, or Matsuryu for short. As for you, you seem to know things that others don't. I'd like to ask you some questions, if you don't mind.' The other advent said to Akuma.

For some reason, Matsu thought he knew a lot of information possibly about their latent powers or what those strange monsters were. But for whatever reason, Akuma would surely respond with questions of his own. "Sure, you can ask me questions. But first, were you running away from one of those monsters?" Said and asked Akuma, knowing that it could be the only sole reason why a man with special powers would run away from something, unless he was surrposely weak perhaps, dispite his muscular appearance.

[paradox]

The day was old, and the dark light that accompanied the night had long ago swallowed the light source of this planet. The moon, alone in it's celestial home, stood quietly, as if it were observing every single person inside Karakura Town. Kostya was staring at a plus: a female adolescent that looked like she was lost.

Kostya, being in the position that he was in, approached the girl. The girl, startled, trembled in fear at the Shinigami.

"Do not be afraid, comrade, I am to take you away from here. But do not fret, as it is as much of the afterlife as you dremt of when you were little."

The girl, confused at the Shinigami's words, still backed away from him, as if he was a threat. This was usual, because, for the most part, pluses were scared little things. She backed into a wall, and Kostya tapped her on her forehead. A white light enveloped her, and a single butterfly flew from the light, heading towards the sky...

Kostya looked around, the silence interrupted by a pair of male voices. He looked at them; they were pretty far away, and it was pretty dark, so he couldn't see them that well. He was almost positive that the boys would of seen that light if they had any spiritual pressure whatsoever. And they did...

Upon a second looking, he figured out that they did have a spiritual pressure. He didn't recognized them, and approached the pair.

"I noticed that you have spiritual pressure. I ask you, comrades, are you advent humans? If so, I would like a little spar. Nothing serious, but, I cannot say I have fought, with or against, a human. What do you say?"

[Zieg]

A small chuckle emerged from Matsu's lips. "Ya caught me. You wanna explain..." A voice interrupted Matsu's speech. His sharp eyes flew over toward the direction in which one were approaching. The night had grown far more unique by every second. First the creature chasing him. Then another guy out late as he was, whom held the answers he wanted, or so he assumed, and now a strangely dressed man, with unusual speech.

What the hell... This was quite strange indeed. Matsu instantly noticed the sword he carried on his waist. He clenched his fist at the potential threat this guy might have posed. He spoke of spiritual pressure and not fighting against a human? Matsu had grown a bit annoyed.

"You're not making any damn sense! Who the hell are you? And what's with the sword?" Matsu turned his body completely to face the man. The night was strange. Surely it wouldn't get any more strange than this, hopefully. And then there was still Akuma to question. But with the black dressed man it was hard to decide what to ask, as new questions rushed through his mind. But first Matsu felt he needed handle the situation at hand.

[Otaku.Legend]

As I took my first step into the human world, I took no precautionary measure of concealing my presence; a wave of heavy Reiatsu blanketing the area. Exiting the Garganta, I now stood upon a two story house 50 meters from the nearest being. Hopefully, Rosa and Souzen would take their place by my sides as I took the chance to gauge the power of all three beings. Two Advent Humans and a Shinigami are what I identified the three spiritual presences as and of the three, only the Shinigami possessed power on par with one of my own; that one being Rosa. The others possessed barely any real power worth mentioning and no matter how I looked at it, this seemed like nothing more than a slaughter.

Personally, I did not wish to fight but none the less, I must. I would take no chances in protecting my new found family, even if it meant killing innocent humans. I would not take the first move — no, I would not make any move at all unless necessary. Though I wished to protect them, I would be nothing more than a mere observer for the duration of the battle unless the situation called for my intervening. I wished to see how my new allies fared in battle when the numbers are stacked against them. If they could not even survive this encounter, the future would hold many perilous dangers and events.

"Hmm, how about we make it fair and make it 3 vs 2. I wish to see how you fare in battle."

Though I did care for them like any family member would, I did not need weaklings following me.

[Akuma]

Wondering why Matsu was running for some odd reason, personally thinking it might have been a hollow. Now questioning the strength of Matsu, knowing that having a muscular appearance doesn't mean shit if you cant fight. Nonetheless, Akuma ignored that fact. Suddenly by surprise, Akuma noticed a bright light developed far off in the distance, being shrouded by the darkness of the night.

Realizing that if Matsu was like him, he must have noticed that light as well. As even by more surprise, a strange, heavy frame man which was built like a monster approached him and Matsu. 'I noticed that you have spiritual pressure. I ask you, comrades, are you advent humans? If so, I would like a little spar. Nothing serious, but, I cannot say I have fought, with or against, a human. What do you say?'.

The strange man spoke about spiritual pressure and advent humans. To his knowledge, he had no clue was an advent human was and especially what spiritual pressure was as well. Who was this man, or more so, what is this man? This stranger also spoke about never fighting a human or with one of sort. If he is no human, what was this man, thought Akuma as many new questions sprung to life in his mind.

Matsu's response to the man was exactly what he was thinking as well, as he simply took the words out of his mouth. "A spar...wait, what? Who are you, or actually what are you?" Said Akuma, the Advent. Out of no where, a strange feeling overwhelmed Akuma, but he wasn't quite sure on what it was. Was this feeling coming from this newcomer or was it something else.

[Zieg]

Akuma too was confused about the appearance of the strangely dressed man, and his rather ridiculous build. Matsu grit his teeth within the confines of his mouth. He grew tense. Akuma too shared the confusion he did, and thus it did not lead to anything more than additional questions to be answer by this man. However Matsu knew this scenario. He knew it well. The man wished for a fight. He and Akuma wished for answers. A gift to be given from both sides.

"If it's a fight you want, then you'll get it." Matsu spread his legs, sliding them across the ground, roughly. Cement dust rose from the concrete earth below him. He clenched both his fist this time. He had gone into something of a ready position stance. He might have found the man to be a threat, considering not only his build, but the weapon he carried. Matsu have dealt with enemies using knives and broken beer bottles, but never a katana. He had to make sure to avoid being hit by it. Once swing and a limb, or more could be lost.

Suddenly a feeling overtook Matsu that made him feel extreme unease. It was like an invisible shadow had overcome him. His entire being was blanketed by some unknown force. It felt...familiar in a strange sense. It made him tingle. Almost shake. It wasn't fear however. It was more like anticipation.

That was the trigger. He didn't like it. This man was creating it. He had to be. He took the initiative, and ran at the man as swiftly as he could, preparing a right hook at the man's face. A powerful blow, sure to knock the man straight off his feet had he taken the blow.

Now that we have four people, we need to make proper post order.

[G R E E D]

Death’s embrace would enter stage right, silently following the one she had decided to name ‘brother’ no more than a few feet away. Like her brethren she stood tall and silent, unmoving as her murderous intent was masked well under calm, coolly demeanor. And in the face of further distortion behind the stoic nature of her own physical inhibition, her hollow mask would become lit with her greed, spiritual energy making it appear almost alive. There was no need to hide, for the pack was out to hunt tonight; she only hoped Souzen nii-sama could catch up time, least he wished not to eat tonight! The ivory mask twitched ever so softly to her left, bringing Animus into her peripheral vision after three or four jerks. She suspected he already knew what her next request would entail, but regardless of his intuition, Rosa would decide to entertain her psychosis anyways.

…h u n g r y . . .f o r. . .

She was already on the move. Though slow she was by no means clumsy, her grace displayed as her seductive figure took hold of Earth’s most supreme power, gravity, and let it bring her down to the level of her prey. Raven and crimson tresses would flow eternally behind her as she adjusted herself into a walking pace, the greed within triggering the release of her most intrinsic powers within. Unbeknown to Animus, he had just unleashed a beast untamed and uncontrollable, exploding towards its meal as if it had been kept under lock and key for years; an addict’s shame, her addiction being her will to seek all that was lustful, violent and laced in adrenaline; pure avarice itself. She trotted towards battle entranced with death in her gaze. They were thirty meters away.

…S h i n i g a m i ! ! !

Twelve in total, glowing brightly around her figure as they appeared to hover, remaining next to her back and sides as she continued her progress. With S.A.P.A. engaged, she would now focus on the battle before her, finding inner humor in the conflict the three shared. However, as they came into sight, her killer instinct returned. This was no mere test as brother was watching, meaning any foolish mistakes could lead to her abandonment; Rosa shuddered at the thought. However, she'd find menial comfort in realizing that judging by her usually meek odds of survival, she'd survived enough to understand what lines lead to further life, and which ones, when crossed, bring ultimate death.

She was weak no more.

S.A.P.A. [Spiritual Anti-Personnel Agent]
HP: †
Level: Average
Description: Coined by the Queen herself, it is the 'Ultimate Defense!'™ By condensing the ammunition from ‘Shot’, Rosa creates a series of suspended glowing orbs, surrounding her body from inches to no more than ten meters all around. Since they are compressed spiritual energy, they are set to detonate in the direction of whatever physical interruption comes their way. Essentially, friend or foe will meet strong damage if they were to come in contact with any of the orbs surrounding her body. Because they are made of her own reiatsu, her body acts as a magnet of the same current, repelling the balls so that it doesn’t hurt her, but still managing to keep them hovering around her even during movement. Finally, Rosa can choose to release at any time an orb from the formation in the form of a normal ‘Shot’, propelled forward as her open palm determined the attack's final location. Enemy attacks can't detonate an orb, but the orbs cannot be used to stop an attack physically, unless their detonation provides enough force to stop the incoming strike. It takes a single turn for an orb to be replaced within S.A.P.A. By default, Rosa can employ 10 orbs to her disposal of any ammo type from 'Shot'; each rank above zero grants her one additional orb. Rosa may spend extra Hollow Points in order to increase the strength of her 'S.A.P.A.' by one level for every point spent.
Restrictions: Unique to Rosa. Must have acquired ‘Shot’


Ammo Used:

Tiro – This version of the shot is much more concentrated, so much so that only one blast is needed. This ball is now five inches in diameter, retaining its fast traveling speed, but now able to explode with the power of a grenade. Can travel up to thirty meters at five meters per second.

[Otaku.Legend]

Though initially I wished to stay out of the combat and observe how well my newly found family fared in battle, I could not resist my urge to fight. The adrenaline pumping through my veins, my restraint on killing humans overwhelmed by my hunger and lust for battle. There would be no quarter, no mercy for these humans. Greed being a trait I never possessed, I did not seek to fight all three enemies — no, just one is enough to ease my hunger and bloodthirsty demeanor.

"Perhaps I shall join in."

With those words, I leap from my footing atop a two story house to the cold earthen ground. In a blur, my visage is lost only to reappear within view twenty meters from the group of men; a Sonido [1/20] closing the distance. If they could not notice the twenty feet tall Hollow and glowing Hollow only meters away, I do not know what would alert them to the impending danger. If they continued to ignore the duo of Hollow, their death would only be that must faster. No matter what may occur this night, death is imminent; unavoidable.

As I drew closer to the trio, I noted the sudden change in Roas. Her demeanor reverted from a child-like fashion to one of greed and lust. It is this change I found it best I regarded her as not a daughter; ones who need constant protecting. She did not need protection but guidance; a person to show them the way of the world, an older brother.

"Let us begin, onee-san."

As he talked to the Advent Humans, he realized he had made a mistake. He had grossly overestimated the knowledge of these two, and now, he was afraid that he had revealed too much. Kostya wasn't so sure about how much an Advent was supposed to know, but he assumed that they would figure it out sooner or later.

"You're not making any damn sense! Who the hell are you? And what's with the sword?" One of the two said. The human was about as big as himself, and as built too. Kostya quickly tried to think up an excuse.

"It--er--Halloween! That's it. That's something you celebrate, right?"

"A spar...wait, what? Who are you, or actually what are you?" The other one said inquisitively. Kostya rubbed the back of his head in confusion, as if he had just went to someone's house and broke all their stuff by accident. Just then, an overwhelming sense of reiatsu flooded the area, and Kostya immediately recognized the reiatsu of which belonged to a hollow.

"If it's a fight you want, then you'll get it." The taller one said. He threw up his fists and swung at the Shinigami.

"No--wait." Right before the human made contact, Kostya quickly drew his blade, using the flat side to block the blow.

"Run. NOW!" He instructed the two humans. If they didn't know anything about Shinigami or Hollows, then there was no way they would live through this fight. He turned around, his blade still unsheathed, to look at two hollows. One he remembered--his hardest opponent. She wore an ivory mask, and the twelve orbs of doom circled around her like he remembered last time...

The other...twenty feet tall. It was a monster in human form--standing upright. It was a nasty figure, which intimidated Kostya. He didn't know what was going to happen, but he thought that he was going to die... Time would only tell...

"Storm, powerful, demanding; gives wings to your essence and deliver your forbidden judgment. Hado no Hachi: Eiei Arashi!"

SPOILER: Click to show

Hadō No. 8: Eiei Arashi (Way of Destruction: Thunderstorm Ravens)
Type: Destruction Art.
Description: As the user begins the incantation, a speck of blue light will appear upon their index finger. Tracing this light in the shape of a raven, the user will continue to chant the spell. As the user finishes the incantation, they will have traced a number of small raven forms within the air, which are illuminated with the same blue light. After the incantation is finished, the user will call out the name of the spell, activating it. Each drawn raven will burst into life with a potent electrical current. These ravens will then dart quickly towards the opponent, attempting to strike them. Depending upon the number of ravens that have been drawn, the user can create a warning shot with no harm with a singular raven, to an incredibly damaging attack with a swarm of electrical ravens. The average drawn raven will be no larger than an inch in height or width, although larger ravens can be drawn to create a more powerful attack, at the expense of additional energy.
Incantation: Storm, powerful, demanding; gives wings to your essence and deliver your forbidden judgment. Hado no Hachi: Eiei Arashi!
Restrictions: Must have knowledge of Kosharashi.

[Akuma]

As Akuma stood there in confusion, he had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask this bulky-man. Before he even realized it, Matsu threw the first punch after accepting the bulky-man's challenge in a fight. As he threw the first punch, Akuma's attention was draw elsewhere as he looked up to see and notice a monstrous creature, standing at an unbelieving height, comparing that to a skyscraper in his eyes.

As he looked up, he would notice another female person with strange floating 'balls' around her. His body was frozen in fear as he had never seen such creatures as these two before. Were they hollows, if so, he had never seen hollows like them before. Nonetheless as his frozen remained frozen in fear, he shook out of it to attempt to contain and control his emotions. Without his mind even aware, he took a step back as he wasn't sure what he should do.

Should he simply attempt to run away and risk being captured or should he stay and find out the main purpose of these two monsters being here. Before he knew it, the bulky-man from before signaled and announced to him and Matsu to run away. 'Run. NOW!'. Those words would echo through his mind as he struggled to contain his emotions. Without telling him twice, he turned around and began to charge and bolt down the street, entering through the shrouded darkness of the night.

"Lets go Matsu!" Shouted Akuma while he continued to run away, down the block. As for the old saying, live to fight another day. Knowing that he wasn't even close to being able to step up and fight those two beings, nonetheless be in the same field as them. Knowing that one day, he will return to hopefully come back to challenge them and prove his worth and power as an Advent Human.

[Exit]

[-Souzen]

T'would appear as if I was rather late upon my advent to this most bloody and foreboding scene. My brother and sister would be engaged in conflict with what appeared to be a shinigami as two other figures attempted to flee the scene. Being not yet in the fullness of my powers I was wary to enter battle. After all, what skills could I bring to bare that could match my brothers? I was but a mere flea compared to him. Melancholy overcoming me for a moment I would decide to bide my time, only wishing to step in if things became dangerous. Thirty meters from my brother [ Animus.] I would wait and watch the battle, fighting to control the bloodlust within that threatened to overwhelm my calm demeanor and send me screaming into the fray for blood.

[paradox]

Zieg, I'm pretty sure, has passed the 48 hr. mark. So, on to the next person, eh?
