(First RP post here, please be gentle with meh. =3)
Abnos had made his way through the realm where he had began, attracted by the souls and the feeling of chaos within this area. An unsatisfiable hunger drove him to do anything it wished; he didn't want to think nor move, only to feast among the corrupt human souls who inhabited the area. To Abnos' surprise, he remained both unseen and unheard by the humans in the area even though his steps shook the ground directly underneath.
Unconsciously the Hollow would make it's way into a lightly trafficked area to avoid detection and begin to feed on any souls who would cross it's path. The taste of the human soul, of life, it was what his body craved so badly; this made the souls taste like something that the Hollow had never eaten before, truly satisfying. Abnos believed that he would eat forever, feasting on the many human souls that passed through the location each hour.

At that moment, an ear curdling screech resonated through the air signaling the opening of the hollow portal; Garganta. The skies darkened as numerous cracks bled forth from its centre, forming a portal that revealed nothing more than its murky depths. Upon the opening of the portal, a small head poked out from its centre. The pale white creature’s eyes darted from side to side in an attempt to scan the area, both for food and signs of danger.
Once his safety was assured, the small humanoid figure jumped out from the darkness and landed on what looked like a market place. Upon leaving the portal, it immediately shut itself tight leaving no trace of its existence. Having apparently walked into a rather desolate area, the hollow continued walking until finally reaching an place with signs of life. Rather to his amazement, an enormous figure could soon be spotted in the distance. Though it was hard to tell what exactly it was doing from this far away, the fact that it easily towered over its surroundings made one thing clear, fighting against it would not be a smart decision.
Ezequiel watched from a distance as he slowly walked toward it, attempting to figure out its intentions for coming here in the process. “This is not good…” He whispered to himself, realizing that only 30 meters now separated him from the titan.

Only after several moments of nearly mindless feasting would Abnos' mind return to him, the wish to consume was placated for the moment but it would not last long. With this, Abnos would be better aware of his surroundings; he was in a large market area, the many nearby shops gave away his location quickly. He was in a less traversed area of the shops, unconsciously attempting to protect his feeding from being witnessed.
It would be then that a dreary screech would rend the air, Abnos would turn, abet slowly, to find the location of such a noise that he'd never heard before. It was there that he noticed a Hollow hiding within the humans; he looked similar to a man but the signs where impossible to hide, a bone-like mask and an empty hole in the Hollow's center.
Now here was a problem, if Abnos left the hollow alone and it was either mindless or stupid then it would attract attention from the humans and ruin Abnos' chance at a further meal. If Abnos spoke to it then it could very well attack if it was mindless, or even if it wasn't and simply wanted to fight. Either way, he had to know whether it was mindless or not.
"Hollow," Abnos' large voice would call out to the man-like Hollow. "speak now or I will kill you." If it was mindless and lacked voice then it would die. If it was not mindless, Abnos would not be troubled by it's presence as long as it remained on his good side; there was plenty of food to go around, for now.

Upon a closer inspection, it could be noted that the huge creature was devouring the souls in the area like some kind of starved beast. The manner in which he was doing so was repulsive; however in all fairness I suppose having such a huge body would only mean having an equally large appetite. The thought of dinning down on so many souls had never crossed Ezequiel's mind before, after all usually one or two humans would be more than enough to last him for the day.
"speak now or I will kill you."
A 'tch' escaped the hollows lips, if rows of jagged teeth could be called that. Holding back his anger, he immediately set about calming himself down. Despite the urge to climb onto the creatures back and smash his oversized eyeballs, there probably wasn’t going to be much of a chance in winning in a confrontation especially with the clear size difference.
The hollow didn’t know for what reason he was being asked to speak, however for now he would have to listen to avoid becoming a midday snack. “You can relax. I’m just observing.” He yelled, unaware of how good the creatures hearing may or may not be. It was probably a wise decission to leave out the part in which he was going to describe the large hollow as a oversized lizard, after all enraging the beast any further would be like asking to be squished under its foot.

It seemed that the Hollow spoke, attempting to not start a fight and likely the only thing separating it from the bottom of Abnos' foot. “You can relax. I’m just observing.” The Hollow seemed sincere in his wish to simply observe, though his demeanorand yelling tone in doing so seemed slightly aggressive to Abnos.
Though he wished to be rid of the stray Hollow in order to enjoy his feast alone, his hunger pained the beast into continuing the feeding without hesitation; wishing to fill the empty void. Abnos would decide to leave the Hollow alone as long as it did the same. "Fine, do as you wish."
The large beast would spot a stray human passing near him and turn it's body towards the human, he would then grasp the being tightly with his massive hand and place it in his jaws. He would crush and eat the small, delicious being before it could even react to the unseen Hollow. This would be the first time the Hollow would began to not feel hungry, being unable to placate his hunger quick enough with the empty, struggling Hollows he'd usually eat.

Well the hollow didn’t end up as a puddle of blood. I suppose that didn’t make the two creatures enemies; however it hardly made them friends either. Ezequiel’s presence was clearly an annoyance, luckily though the giant beast seemed to not mind putting up with it, at least for now anyway. With curiosity striking, the hollow decided to ask for the giants name although before getting a chance to utter a word, the giant had already began stuffing his face.
The new victim for today would be a passing human who rather humorously, hadn’t the faintest clue how he ended up floating in mid air before his body being severed in half with rather frightening ease. Waiting for the body or rather chunks of flesh as they now were to be chewed and swallowed, the hollow idly leaned on a lamppost whilst mustering enough confidence to ask his question. “The names Ezequiel by the way. What about you big guy?”
After waiting for a response, something could be felt approaching. Judging from the reiatsu it was oozing unconsciously, it felt like a Shinigami or rather two of them. Though they weren’t close enough to fall under the two hollows line of sight, it would only be a matter of time until they reached this very location, obviously being attracted to the commotion the large creature had been causing unknowingly. “Looks like they’ll be here any moment.” His comment was aimed at notifying the other hollow of the incoming danger who hopefully wasn’t too preoccupied with feeding to not notice.

As Abnos finished his snack, the Hollow spoke again. It seemed as though the Hollow wanted more than 'just observing', this pressed on Abnos slightly as the thing was fairly annoying. “The names Ezequiel by the way. What about you big guy?” Abnos would turn yet again towards the small Hollow, wishing to simply crush it now. But he would refrain from doing so since 'Ezequiel' offered his name in good intention; or at least better intention than a stab in the back.
"My name's Abnos." His large voice spoke shortly, never one to speak too much. This would cause the two to become 'acquainted' with one another; it couldn't be called a friendship since both would likely kill one another at an available chance, but it was about as close as anyone could get between two Hollows.
Abnos would have found another target when something began to seem wrong, a powerful feeling more similar to Hollows than Humans but also nothing alike. It was not just a single feeling though, there was two of whatever was coming. Abnos questioned how they would taste, by the feeling it seemed as though they would be very satisfying.
Ezequiel would tell what seemed like a warning. “Looks like they’ll be here any moment.” Aggression would rise in Abnos at the feelings, he knew not what the feelings were but still wished to devour them all the same. With a growling voice, Abnos would speak. "Whatever they are, I'm going to devour them." With this the beast would begin to walk towards the direction of the strange feeling, shaking the ground directly underneath his steps in the process.

Far in the distance two figures could now be spotted. The hollows hunch was clearly correct as the two robed figures were undoubtedly Shinigami, both males with their zanpakuto drawn and held high. The taller of the two seemed to have brown hair with no distinguishing features, probably as plain as they can get. The other seemed to be the exact opposite, curled and unruly blonde hair along with a rather bulky frame, although it was likely more flab than muscle.
Ezequiel looked over to the other hollow whose name had now been revealed as Abnos. He clearly seemed like more than a match for the two men, with his sheer size hinting at an equally vast amount of raw physical strength. "Whatever they are, I'm going to devour them." The hollow paid close attention to those words. Despite just having a feast that could even fill a menos up, his hunger was still consuming him.
His manner also suggested that he was less experienced in fighting than Ezequiel. Despite his large stature being more than enough to throw people away from this fact, it wouldn’t be impossible to deny that Abnos hadn’t become a hollow for more than a hundred years, in fact he could possibly be even younger than that. Having felt the he had strayed off topic, Ezequiel immediately looked back across the horizon.
The two shinigami were now no more than 10 meters away from the hollows and growing closer by the second, obviously with the intent to start a confrontation. “You! I’m here for your head hollow scum!” The words were spoken by the chubby Shinigami whom obviously hadn’t noticed Abnos standing near him. The other Shinigami on the other hand was clearly not as dense. His mouth wide open as he murmoured a few words, tugging on the other mans robe in the process. “M-M-M-Monster!!!”

(OOC: Nice NPC's. XD) The two beings, they would simply be little match for the beast who would stand over three times their height; yet, it seemed they where still ready for a fight. It wouldn't be until they stood hardly 10 meters away when the first would speak. “You! I’m here for your head hollow scum!” He was angry, crude; he would die quickly. The second one would only mutter and cling to the first, obviously more afraid of Abnos' massive presence than the first. “M-M-M-Monster!!!” He could possibly live if he ran now. With this, and with seeing drawn blades ready to fight, Abnos would loose control of himself. His anger would rise within his mind and it would once again become victim to the mindless Hollow inside. "Rrrrraaaaaaa!" Abnos would roar loudly, the very air would shake with the massive voice traveling through it as he would still continue towards the two shinigami in the closest thing he would have to a run. As he would reach within a 2 meter distance of the two shinigami he would raise his right arm up and bring the palm of his hand down on where the two shinigami stood, using his Aplastante ability in order to not only increase the raw weight and strength of the attack but also to prevent damage to Abnos' palm that the two being's blades might be able to cause. The impact of Abnos' palm, whether either of the shinigami would be struck or not, would send a massive quake through the ground and into the surrounding area. Aplastante 1/3

The two Shinigami clearly had no idea what they were getting themselves into. As they approached Ezequiel toke a defensive stance whilst he moved toward them, keeping his pace as slow as possible. They probably weren’t going to be much of a threat however the hollow had no intention of underestimating them, regardless of their humorous demeanor. An ear battering roar signaled the beginning Abnos’s attack, it’s only other giveaway being his dash toward the two targets. Upon reaching a sufficient range, he would send his palm downward, pummeling the ground and sending chunks of concrete flying clean into the air. As for the two men, well they had flickered away to a safe distance with the aid of shunpo, smug grins wrinkling their faces in the process. Clearly they were proud of their actions, unable to hold back their new found confidence. “Hahaha he’s all brains and no mus-cle…“ A heavy stutter near the end of that sentence revealed the brown haired mans rather embarrassingly failed attempt at an insult. Never the less, they now had bigger things to worry about than bad puns. As if they had gone into a frenzy, both men franticly waved their hands in the air in an attempt to fend off a dozen flies which had began to swarm around their faces. “Eh? Where’d these things come from!” “Let’s not forget that I’m still here shall we?.” Yelled Ezequiel, clearly feeling forgotten. Upon his command, the flurry of flies would detonate in multiple explosions the size of tennis balls. As the smoke cleared, it would reveal the two men’s charred and burned faces, not to mention the patches of balding which would undoubtedly draw unwanted attention if they ever made it back to soul society. With anger in their eyes the two Shinigami quickly succumbed to their emotions as they both charged toward the hollows, each one preparing to skewer their individual targets.

The things where annoying Abnos, quickly dodging the attack and leaving the beast even more upset. It seemed as though the second, more scared shinigami had gained a bit of confidence. “Hahaha he’s all brains and no mus-cle…“ Abnos cared not that the insult had failed, simply that such a tiny, weak being could insult him at all; this angered Abnos even further. Abnos would take his flat hand and grip the ground underneath it, ripping a small piece of concrete from the ground. At the same time, something would happen to each of the shinigami, the first would exclaim his position. “Eh? Where’d these things come from!” “Let’s not forget that I’m still here shall we?.” Exequiel called out as many tiny explosions would impact the two shinigami. Abnos would be unable to see what the explosives where but would make an assumption anyways. 'So that must be his power, tiny explosives.' With this the two shinigami would come charging forward, burned and insulted. Abnos would speak as he would lob the piece of concrete towards the shinigami coming at him. "You should just come here now and save me the trouble of catching you!" The concrete slab would be fairly small to Abnos, like a good sized rock, but it would still be larger than the shinigami's body. Along with this, Abnos would step forward and throw his right fist at the area above the piece of concrete, attempting to catch the shinigami as it would likely dodge the concrete by jumping over it. (BTW: Palm of hand =/= fist.

"You should just come here now and save me the trouble of catching you!"
Despite having not heard Abnos, likely due to the fact that the two shinigami were literally smoking with rage, they were now unknowingly heading toward the jaws of death. As the slab of concrete flung itself toward the duo, the smarter of the two decided to dodge it by leaping upward. The less intelligent one on the other hand decided to jump onto the incoming projectile and then leap over it. Clearly he was overestimating his skills as he fell to the ground and was send rolling backward quite a distance, breaking both his legs in and process and being sent into a repetition of agonizing screams.
The other man who dodged the block of cement unfortunately wasn’t going to be in much better shape in a few moments. His eyes only widened as he yelled out in panic, unable to dodge or strike against the incoming hand which now had the clear opportunity to either grab the brown haired shinigami or splatter him onto a nearby building. “W-W-W-Wait!”
With all this commotion going on, Ezequiel would walk toward to the now crippled shinigami who was attempting to crawl away as his comrade was left at the mercy of Abnos. Upon reaching him he would kick away his zanpakuto, leaving the man utterly defenseless as he tried to drag his now useless legs down the street. “Looks like this one’s done. You planning on eating him?” He yelled, his comment being directed at the other hollow.

It seemed that the two Shinigami where no match for Abnos, like as if two tiny, weak beings could be. One would fall painfully, breaking his legs, and the other would be smashed by Abnos' fist. “W-W-W-Wait!” The smashed one would no doubt be in pain as it screamed, but Abnos' hunger would not stop there. Picking the immobile Shinigami up, Abnos would eat it. To Abnos' pleasure, the taste of the Shinigami matched the powerful spiritual pressure that they emitted. “Looks like this one’s done. You planning on eating him?” The other Hollow, Ezequiel, would be referring to the second Shinigami who was now slowly attempting to get away. Saying this was similar in effect to giving Abnos a present, as he could only imagine that all other Hollows shared his extreme hunger. "Well, as long as you don't mind." The giant beast would grab the crawling Shinigami and eat it all the same. For the first time in what seemed like forever, Abnos didn't feel hungry. Unlike usual, Abnos' face would show his satisfaction, not reflecting the common hunger that he felt. Ezequiel had helped in satisfying Abnos' hunger so Abnos felt like he had to say something; but, he felt it awkward to say something such as 'thank you'. So instead, he simply stated that Ezequiel had helped catch the two Shinigami. "Your small explosives helped me catch the two Shinigami." With this, the large Hollow would no longer need to stick around; wishing to move on before more Shinigami came. "I'm leaving." With this, the beast would simply leave, his words would mark his departure. [/exit] (OOC note: RPing as a giant, extremely hungry Hollow is kinda weird. )

((OOC: It aint any easier RPing as a small, not so hungry hollow. xD)) The battle was no doubt over as Abnos turned both shinigami into a light snack. Though Ezequiel was planning on running off with one of them which would be followed by him mockingly laughing at the other hollow, Abnos had mistaken his comment for an invitation and frankly he had no intentions of stopping the beast as his arm grabbed the fallen prey. "Your small explosives helped me catch the two Shinigami."It wasn’t exactly guilt but rather annoyance that he was being thanked, even though it was said in a roundabout way. However for now it would be better if Abnos thought of him as an ally rather than an enemy, a important factor which forced the hollow to hide his emotions. Taking a step back, Ezequiel would slide his arm against the air, causing black ripple like patterns to bleed from his hands in a downward path. The small cracks in the dimension quickly gathered into one spot, forming the dark hollow portal, garganta. “Well that was an interesting battle despite the easy victory, but I guess I should be going now. I’ve wasted too much time here.” The hollows words were hinting at the fact that he was needed elsewhere. Entering the portal, he would disappear into its murky abyss after saying his farewell with Abnos. [Exit]
