[The Lost Souls...][/size] Karakura Town. Midnight. The dark hub of all things spiritual, where humans, Hollows, and Shinigami came together. The cloudless sky underneath the stars, where each night, the two sides of death warred over the fate of the Living World. It was here, in the all-important Juureichi, where even humans could ascend to unimagined levels of power, that all the hopes and dreams of the weak and the powerful came together. It was a nexus of activity and intrigue, some of it malicious and some divine. It was here, in the darkest depths of the night, with the moon high overhead, that the first whispers of change emerged. There was a shiver in the air, almost imperceptible, that preceded the change. In the shadows, the stars themselves seemingly moved, drifting slowly. There was an ominous silence, settling over the land. The Karakura General Market was dark, with almost all stores closed down for business this late at night. Only a few token humans wandered the streets, heading home quickly, to their beds and loved ones. It was here, in between the tall buildings around the wide marketplace, that the sky tore open. Two sickening beasts crawled through the gateway. One was a massive humanoid creature, with a thick, ape-like body covered with green scales and armor plates. It's mask was set in a twisted grin, sharp teeth nashing and blank eyes flashing from their deep-set holes. It grinned like a psychopathic beast, five meters tall. A pair of twisted reptilian ears, like those of a bat, protruded from the sides of it's head. It's three-fingered hands ended in vicious hooked claws. It shook the earth as it set foot on the ground, staring around hungrily. A curious symbol, consisting of two circles and five dots, glowed a dim green on it's forehead. The second beast was smaller, with a mask that seemed to be twisted into a grotesquely sad face, weeping inconsolably. Razor sharp teeth were disguised behind the down-turned mouth. It's body was that of a snake, with a long sinuous form nearly four meters long, nearly jet black in color. It had two stubby arms protruding from the trunk of it's body, near the mask. It displayed the same curious sigil on it's forehead as it's compatriot. It looked around, exhibiting the same sickening hunger. The two of them moved out into the street, looking for souls to claim... [Rules]- You may only be in one Event Thread at a time.
- Staff will determine the results of the battle if there is a dispute,
- Be prepared for anything. These beasts may not be alone.
- There is a 24 hour IIC deadline. Anyone wishing to participate should post their entrance within 48 hours from the thread's creation, at which point the Empty Hollows will make their post and the event will move forward.

"Damn electronic locks!" Dream was currently frustrated as she was trying to undo a lock on one of the nearby stores to do a little improvised shopping. She didn't want to bother Itamiku for money for new thread and such as she wasn't sure he would expect something in return or not. She has been on her own for so long she just kind of forgot that some people do give things out of kindness and not with an alternate motive. As such she was going to take what she needed while the shops were closed, she had picked up a few cloths pins and a pocket knife from her stuff as well as a few other small items that she has found useful in the past on opening doors but currently this door had her stumped.
Dream couldn't figure out for the life of her why this costume shop wanted high grade security locks on their door but they had it and she could even see that it had electric sensors in place as well so if she did open it there would be an alarm. This prompted her to give up and instead curse at the door in frustration. It was perhaps a good thing though that she gave up because as she turned around she would notice two figures appear in the sky above. They both appeared to be hollows and they seemed hungry. She didn't see Animus nor Diamuerte which meant they were new Hollows. They were too far away at the moment to really tell anything, besides their basic shape, about them but if they started heading this way she was going to activate her ability and make sure the distance was maintained or at the very least she was prepared for whatever they were going to do.
She was beginning to think that sneaking out this late at night by herself was not such a good idea as she wasn't sure what to expect from these new hollows and she found herself wishing Itamiku was around to be a bit supportive of the current situation. Too late now, for now she would try to hide in the shadows and would take close note of how they moved and acted encase they sensed her. She knew she wasn't skilled at hiding her reiatsu yet so she knew running was bound to come into the equation if these new hollows started charging her. There was a chance they could be nice but she hasn't met any before coming to this town and she wasn't sure her luck would hold out again. |

Kostya woke up that morning with a feeling of perverted death hanging about the air. He could tell immediately that something was wrong-something was going to happen. He also knew that it was going to be important, and that he had to be there. So the day dragged on, and with school and everything, the tension grew exponentially. The air seemed thick with death now, as if it was a catalyst in and of itself, causing itself to grow, to expand... The eerie air had everyone on edge, and even the neighborhood stray cats didn't feel like coming out in the open...
When night rolled around, it was almost unbelievable. It felt like a dream. Kostya didn't know if anything was real or not, as if things were actually changing in front of his face. Was he in wonderland? That question would be answered later...
When 11:00 came by, it felt like the sun had never been up in the sky at all, as if Kostya's memory had been wiped, yet he remembered it clearly-but fuzzy at the same time. He was ready to get the day over with, as this odd phenomenon was getting to him. It was all conundrums, and he did not like it one bit...
He walked around the Karakura General Market, and didn't even bother to be in a Gigai. By this time of night, he was basically paranoid-his sword was already drawn and his eyes flickered at every movement. It was when he saw a girl, trying to pick a lock to a closed store. The situation kind of seemed hilarious, but, at the same time, he was relieved to not be alone. Yet...he knew that he wasn't alone-he hasn't been alone since he got to this district-he was being watched by some diety or supernatural force that refused to show itself...
He quickly made his way over to the new presence, the girl, but was sure not to get too close. For all he knew, she could be some extremely strong fighter-but her reiatsu level was about equal to his own, however, it was never bad to be too safe. It was then when he noticed the two figures up above-hollows. Yet, they didn't feel like hollows; they had the striking resemblance to a hollow, yet their presence didn't have the hungry-death scent or pressure about them. These...were different.
"What are those?" He said, directing the question towards the girl beside him. It was then when his mind started to race, and assumptions and pretentious hypothesis.
"Death comes to those who bark, but victory comes to those who bite." He told the human, reassuring both himself and her. "So," he said, "who's going to bark first?"

Consumed by a shade of black, the already darkened night sky would tear itself asunder revealing nothing more than an abysmal cavity of darkness. A closer inspection into the portals mouth would reveal a torrent of twisting reiatsu quickly giving way as a colossal pillar liberated itself from the gateways murky depths, an enormous quake soon following in its wake as the giant descended onto the desolate streets of Karakura Town.
Albeit reluctantly, a strange sensation or instinct rather pulled the immense creature toward the direction of the market place. Easily towering above his surroundings, it would take little more than a few strides for Ezequiel to reach the said destination. Coming to a halt, the Gillian’s saucer like eyes would dart toward the side involuntarily upon noticing several silhouettes in the not too far off distance. Standing amidst a clutter of rubble; no doubt originating from the beasts disregard for his surroundings, he would brush his branch like fingers franticly across the dust which stained his shrouded body.
“Is this all?” He mumbled to himself, clearly not impressed by his reward for being drawn to this place. A shinigami, human and two mindless hollows. A feast of this caliber could have been obtained with far less effort from scavenging in the white plains of Hueco Mundo. With malice marinating in his eyes, the Gillian’s attention would shift toward the foreign markings on the hollows foreheads. A curiosity in itself, the symbols sparked no immediate meaning from Ezequiel’s vast encyclopedic knowledge. Instead he would only wait and watch as events played themselves out, his presence now more than obvious to those in the area.

Itamiku hid his spiritual pressure. Why? Because at night when most things want to eat you or at least use your bones for toothpicks, it's always better to be a ghost. However, in such an occurance as this one, it was to follow a certain someone out on a midnight 'stroll'. Itamiku was not entirely impressed by her choice of venues to come by. He was not entirely liking the fact a fourteen year old girl was in the streets by herself at night in such a dangerous place. But even worse still, he didn't like the cold temperature. It was November, nearing December, there were no clouds in the sky adding further to the chill of the night. Perhaps spiritual creatures couldn't feel it, but Itamiku was freezing. He had on two sweatshirts to keep from chilling to the bone, even so it wasn't enough to keep out the cold night air. He had been following the girl to see where she was heading at this hour. He hadn't expected her to take the turn onto the shop corner seeing as they were all closed, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh as she became interested in one shop in particular.
"What is she doing?" He asked himself, his form hidden in the shadows of an Alley, his green eyes resting on the fourteen year old girl as she tried to pick the lock. He was about half a block from Dream and was unspotted and unsensed for the time being. His right hand coming up to run a hand through his brown matted head. He hadn't had the chance to go shopping with Dream yet and it seemed she was in dire need of clothes. Enough so to revert back to old habits. Even after taking the vow, it seemed unless she had a spotter, she wouldn't change after all. This made Itamiku give a small smirk. Guess he'd just have to be more understanding, more involved, and perhaps tell her not to be ashamed of asking for help.
His gaze was drawn to the sky as the first portal made by Hollows appeared above them, however, he couldn't help but notice a rather large shadow on a building within his gaze. The moon shining upon the gargantuine figure, its shadow seeable only if one was on the other side of the street looking toward the buildings. His body immediatly duckiing behind the wall seperating himself from the Gillian. That thing was enormus! And it looked somewhat familiar... However, it wasn't just the Gillian that was there now, but one giant green plated Hollow and one smaller, snake-like Hollow nearly four meters long. Itamiku swollowed, his face in a frown. So... was this a common feeding ground for Hollows, or was this just his unlucky day? His eyes shot back over to Dream. Or... was this her lucky day? He couldn't help but smirk, knowing that if he hadn't followed, she would be here alone with three Hollows. With Animus it would have been fine... but the Gillian looked vaguely familiar as the one he had faced in the park about a week ago... definatly not a friendly guy. And the other two were new faces. Itamiku had a feeling his very presense here would cause the Gillian to become hostile, attempting to finish the fight they had started all those days ago.
Itamiku was still working out a plan in his head... however, it seemed Dream was saved... or her suffering was stalled. A Shinigami appeared beside her, Itamiku's presense again being ignored. At least he had developed his control over his Spiritual Pressure to the point of being able to hide it well. He was non-existant in the eyes of those who were present... he hoped... he was still worried about the Gillian and the two Hollows.
"What are those?" The shinigami's voice carried the distance to Itamiku's ears... barely. It seemed this one didn't know what a hollow was... or there was something... off... about these hollows. From this distance, he couldn't tell what was so different about them. They had masks, they had mean looks. They had the wild eyes hollows have... so what made these guys different?
"Death comes to those who bark, but victory comes to those who bite. So, who's going to bark first?" The shinigami asked, apparently trying to be analytical. Itamiku couldn't help but scowl. Victory comes from biting? Eh. What a lame way of saying 'strike first'. While striking first was a good way to achieve victory, there were many ways of using the opponent's strikes against them... or attacking those unsuspecting. Call it a cheap-shot, but those who can't see you can't block fast enough.
Itamiku would wait in the shadows, watching the scene, waiting for his moment. Apparently, he could hear well enough and had a wide enough view of the scene to be of use... However... His eyes darted behind him. However, he still wasn't safe. There was no telling what else was around here. It seemed Dream was protected, somewhat, for now. She was incredibly fast and could run if things got out of control. Itamiku knew from experiance she wasn't a fighter herself. However, he knew from experiance Shinigami tended to be hostile toward anything Hollow. So, either this one couldn't sense Dream's spiritual pressure, couldn't tell there was a bit of Hollow in her, or didn't care and was one of the few who would stand beside a Hollow touched human. Either way, he might have some combat experiance. It was currently, two on three, not including Dream for inexperiance's sake. That meant they were out numbered. He remembered the giant Hollow's ability to be exploding inanimate objects and animating them. He could guess the green giant was one for power, and the snake could perhaps be one for speed... however, stereotyping opponents could be a grave mistake. He would study his opponents before engaging in battle, however it was Dream they were going to attack if attack they did... and that was something he would never condone. He would bash both their masked faces in before they could lay a finger on her.

Making his way into the area. The air was silent before the storm. No sun into the dark skies was in sight! No rain clouds to ruin the moment. Sora lips moved into a curve position, into a perfect small smirk onto his face. At first, the only sound in the area was crickets and a night owl into the distances chirping.
The owl stopped chirping and the crickets stopped singing. Sora eyes had open wide. This was a clear sign, that the storm had come finally at last. Sora, dressed in his normal attire. His arms were into a cross position. Cross over the other arm, laying onto each other. Sora heard music in his head. The melody was beautiful and fitting of the setting.
Sora had started humming to himself. Humming the great melody in his head. Sora, was not alone. He had sensed a few others in the area. Some of them were lacking, and some of them were not. This was a good thing. Even on duty, in his state of mind, he was more in control of himself than he ever was.
Sora was still off from both storms. They were both in opposite direction of him. Sora, was un sure which one should be he goes after. Both were opponents for him to take him. But how strong they were not known to him. He feel their presense, but his excitement was getting to him. Oh sweet melody inside his head.
Sora was ready and willing. Not too far off was his little brother close by. “It seems like a nice melody is flowing out from my head! Oh Riku! It must be a joyous melody of due to our reunion!” Death was in the air, and it was a great tune.

It was the dark sky that looked to go on forever. The moon was bright and looked to be right overhead. He would move slowly as a small silence would fall over everything. A soft melody would start to play over in his head. “Where did this song come from?” He thought to himself.
Moving on he found himself not far from someone in the darkness. The shadows that had been casted from the light from the moon. He moved up slowly keeping his steps light. He had I dead of who it was now. He tried to surprise his bigger brother, but to he had no luck. “It seems like a nice melody is flowing of from my head! Oh Riku! It must be a joyous melody of due to our reunion!” His brother and said to him.
He walked closer to his brother. The shadows shifted a little showing his brother face. “This melody?” He said to his brother as he walked closer to him crossing his hands. “Are you the reason I’m hearing this joyous melody in my head? He stopped only a few meters from him. "Damn it now you got me talking like you....... I really should smack you for that one bro." He said and cracked a small smile.
He looked at him. “Hey bro what are you doing here?” He asked his slightly older brother. The thought of the melody started to calm him some. He tried to fight this feeling but he could not the tie to his twin was far too strong to stop.

"You are assigned to Earth for a huge mission today, so don't die there and come back in one piece. Oh, make sure your arms and legs are still tagged to your body after the massacre there." said the 8th seat officer of 8th division. "So, why the fuck are you not going if the mission is so huge?" Kokaku asked.
"Well, you have to understand that our division is the Internal Affairs. I will spell it out for you. I.N.T.E.R.N.A.L., which means we are caring more about Seireitei than what's happening outside. However, our head insisted that we should send a shinigami or two to help and there you are, hitting the jackpot of the day. Oh, you have no partner, now get going." said the 8th seat with an asshole grin on his face. Kokaku seriously wanted to aim a Byakurai on his heart but he held it. Fine, if he would die on Earth so be it.
And now, he was there. Standing on top of a building around the general market area. For your information, Kokaku didn't just walk up the building like he wanted some sort of exercise. The gate brought him into the middle of the building for the first time. Not a bad position in his opinion and so he decided to just climb the nine floors building for a better view.
Surprisingly, it was late night at this moment on Earth while the sun is still hanging up high in Seireitei. The clock and time system of both world isn't the same, that's why. Kokaku liked the night anyway so he would gladly take the beauty of the night with a smile on his face. For he knew that he might not smile anymore later, he could sense a huge battle coming soon. Well, that's not because he was a prophet or a girl with extremely precise sixth sense especially when it comes to boyfriend cheating.
He was concealing his reiatsu very well at the moment, he believed that he has improved quite well. Now, sitting at the edge of the building while checking on the other sources of reiatsu down there, he concluded that his sense of an upcoming huge battle was pretty much on the correct side. Well, let's check on the would-be-battlefield's statistic at this moment. A group of two at that location(failed to pick up Itamiku's reiatsu), one was a shinigami with a very familar reiatsu. Maybe Kokaku met him not long ago. The other one was more like a human reiatsu, but far stronger. Probably an alpha human. Next one was be a hollow reiatsu. This one was very obvious as he could see a tower height hollow on the area. He didn't do anything though, not because he wasn't doing his duty but he noticed other reiatsu sources and decided to check on them. This night was not that simple.
The night was silent and everything was surprisingly loud, including the humming of a fellow shinigami. Two shinigamis on another part of the battlefield. Lastly, there's two reiatsu that he couldn't sense very well, it fainted again and again his Kokaku's sense. Kokaku could pick them up if he focuses on sensing but he prefer to keep himself conceal so he didn't do that. One thing though, these beasts, probably hollows, were real strong. So, one human, three shinigamis, three hollows. Now, that was a party. Kokaku decided to continue sitting at the edge of the building though, like a general watching the whole battlefield. He has no need to do anything and his kido was best used in a surprising situation. "One hit, one kill", this was the current plan for Kokaku "Ninja" Nishimura.

Ali would wonder around Karakura town. He would be thinking about many a thing while smiling to himself. It wasn't such a bad place after all and he would be able to get along with the people here quite nicely he would think. That was of course until he felt a change in the natural reiatsu currents as it where, Something....something different was approaching and with that he would stop as a chill ran down his spine. A chill running down his spine was never a good sign and usually indicative of something bad about to happen. He would rest his hand on his gun and sigh.
He would mutter the words that usually accompanied his activation of his abilities and he would sprout his usual wings. Very dull very boring for him and all the humans around the area completely oblivious to that. Then he would with one big flap launch himself into the sky where all of the people would probably just put it as him disappearing and with that. He would observe with his keen eyes his hand resting on his gun. "There" He would say in his thick Russian accent as he would fly towards the area where those hollow where, the market place and then concealing his reiatsu to a virtual invisible level he would nestle himself on a building the only signifier to anyone in this place of his existence would be a single white feather that floated right before Dream's face, should she remember Ali.

[Enter] Through the light of a closing Senkaimon gate Ichidou would stride forth, his retina glancing over the scene and taking in his surroundings. So this is the large gathering of chakra command spoke about... His left hand would travel to the hilt of his sword when he noticed the two hollow in the sky. They looked like normal hollow, but those glowing things on their foreheads was something he had never seen or heard about. Better say vigilant... He though, picking off his targets with his eyes and seperating allies from neutrals and enemies... [/blockquote] Short and crappy, I know, not much time  |

Alone.
Thus was the status of the one called Rosario, a most fowl Hollow newly introduced onto the Shinigami battlefield. While rough, she had managed to survive this life thus far, whilst even procuring a family to call her own. However, the threat of death still seemed to loom around every corner, and the type of enemy she faced daily only grew more and more diverse. If she did not accept the fact that lethality was a disease never ending within her body, she too would succumb to the ails of this lifestyle – so then, it was time to overcome. She would no longer run from danger, instead summoning her now battle-hardened self into the most precarious of situations. The objective? Education through realistic training. The stakes were high, meaning failure was simple not an option.
…
She strode down memory lane now, silent in as she stalked the dark night down an alleyway by a familiar clothing store; she was at least fifty meters from any present soul, the locations of many appearing as she sensed out foreign reiatsy. Her current location reminded her of when her former evolution had failed to defend against a single, weak shinigami. Luckily for her, he was remorseful, letting her live withiest he presumably returned to his own endeavors; how ironic. A single spit in towards the ground was given in the name of Shinigami, and as she snarled and laughed at their weakness, she would find concealment in her lonely soul; they ganged on her not because she was a bad person thing, but because they were cowards. Oh well.
Such was life.

The General Market? Here the interested Shinigami stood once again in the town of Karakura. Nose taking in that sweet smell of the air of Karakura which seemed to be just as smooth as it had been during the warrior's previous appearance. The warmth of his Zanpaktou would seep from the right of his hip and well through the clothing that all so gracefully waved around his fit and toned yet unshapely person -- tightly knitted to fit just the way he'd hoped for it to. Though he had been a tad bit calm as standing here silent as this night would show, he had been quite curious of the things to occur this silent night. The rings on his hand would be pushed in a continuous twirl by that of his thumb as the thick feeling of this Market cloaked Reiatsu. Quite populated must he'd add in the mind as his eyes bounced from one place to the next a moment quick.
Calm yet aware, cautious maybe even... There was always something to look out for and such had been acknowledged since the last fall taken. Quite a deadly one at that however this was "Life"...sorta and he'd simply need to dust himself off and ready to take a clear good shot at this thing again. Being a shinigami was quite the job and one to be sanctioned. To the fullest had he done so and to the end would he be proud of the things he's done so far. Sight of all who'd currently retained themselves from the other would be found eventually for the smooth movement of his feet would being to take him forward into the deepest of this night, the bends of this market and the anxiety of his melded nerves. Such a peaceful night likely to be broken as it had been before would still be acknowledged should it be lived through... Anything could happen.

Fifteen meters away, the twin Hollows snarled. The snake-like one writhed, feeling the presence of a great amount of new reiatsus around it. Just as planned, they prey had come to them. The scaly ape of a beast looked to both sides, feeling the spiritual presences. There were many of them. Most of them were human. Two, three human reiatsus, maybe more. Shinigami, and even Hollows were spun into the mix. A mindless howl erupted from the two beasts, making their motives clear.
In a flash, the battle would begin. The ape-like Hollow would hang back, it's fists pounding together as a whispering current of reiatsu began to draw around it's palms. The red-black energy spiraled around the palms, displaying awesome might as it slammed both palms against the ground. A burst of concentrated reiatsu, rather like some sort of linear Cero, shot forward across the ground, slashing towards the Shinigami and the human girl. The attack was quite powerful, and moved at high speed. They would need quick reflexes or their death was imminent.
The snake, on the other hand, took the offensive. It disappeared with a flicker of static noise, reappearing before the two Shinigami brothers, it's massive tail lashing out to stab at them. It had great force behind it, and it would probably smarter to dodge. Attempting to block the tail would require huge amounts of force. As it's tail moved, the rest of it's lithe form would whip forward, nashing mouth moving to rip at the body of the other brother. All the while, the two beasts would stand ready for any attacker to foolishly assault them.

"What are those?" these words would snap Dreams attention to the man that was near here he could apparently see the hollows but was it his first time? If so he was in for a rude awakening as she somehow doubted that these hollows were friendly. A single white feather would drop from the sky as if signaling the start of some war it actually looked familar but she couldn't remember where and when Dream saw the red energy gathering around the large ape hollows hands she knew it was going to get ugly. "Seems they are first! Run!" She would transform her legs and feel a sharp pain run across her spine as she transformed. The ape hollow was looking at them as it gathered the energy and Dream would react in kind to get out of its way. She wasn't going to push herself yet but with quick reflexes and strong legs she would rapidly get out of the blast radius of the hollows attack. Having nimbly dodged the attack and having her legs transformed she knew the human could see that she was not normal; although if he doesn't get out of the way he wasn't bound to care much at all. She had a bad feeling when those hollows showed up and now it was confirmed, she wished Itami or Ali was here but she sneaked out and there wasn't bound to be anyone around that can help her except that other guy. Oh, she hopes he gets out of the way in time. his surviving was the only thing that held her back from running outright as she wanted to know if he survived or not before she took off. Hopefully she doesn't pay for it as she sees the other hollow start attacking in a different direction, specifically the direction she heard the voices from before.

In a matter of minutes, a large amount of reiatsu appeared, representing both sides of death. Humans with reiatsu appeared to, which was not unheard of. Kostya felt grim as more hollows appeared. What would happen? Would he have to fight those hollows too? He didn't want to fight them, though, as he wished to focus on these two odd hollow-like things. The spirit-nappers, he would call them.
The spirit-nappers decided to take the offensive. The ape-like spirit-napper began to clap, as if it were gathering reaitsu around him. He felt a large air of death flow over him, and the ape slammed it's fist into the ground. A black and red cero-like shot traveled through the ground...heading straight for them.
"Seems they are first! Run!" The girl remarked. Her legs changed into completely different things and she sprinted out of the way. Kostya quickly jumped into action, using a shunpo to get out of the way. He dropped into a roll, and heard a massive crash from the building behind him. The building that the attack hit began to crumble, and the whole building began to fall down. Kostya covered his face from the dust that aroused, but he quickly made his next decision.
He let reiatsu flow into his fingertips, ready to execute a Kido. He wasn't very good with it, but that was his only means of ranged attack. And, truly, he didn't want to rush those guys. "Storm, powerful, demanding; gives wings to your essence and deliver your forbidden judgment. Hado no Hachi: Eiei Arashi!"
Dividing up his power, he created three sparrows each with a small electrical current. They all went for the snake-like spirit-napper, who was attacking a group of twin shinigami above him, he actually thought he recognized them somehow, hoping to catch the snake off guard. The quick movements of the sparrows would surely help the shinigami. The snake had to move, and take it's guard down, giving his allies a chance to strike.

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.

“Hmph. Am I being ignored?” Ezequiel groaned. The late arrivals, let alone the two hollows were showing little malice toward the Gillian. A prospect he did not like. His appearance up until this point had little meaning but to spark a confrontation to sooth his own blood lust; however contradictory to his intentions it would seem that the emerging battle would leave the giant allied with the shinigami and humans, at least until the overgrown ape and gecko were put to sleep.
With monstrous strength the Gillian slammed his fists onto the floor, sending a quake into the textured concrete before it was ripped and torn apart. Digging his sharp fingers of bone in deep, the titan liberated a small chunk of rubble which he planned to throw at the seemingly more sluggish of the two beasts; the ape. Having been clutched tightly in his grip, the catapulted rubble would soon break apart mid-air and rain down in a barrage of debris.
More than pleased with his handy work, Ezequiel grinned away whilst showing little to no heed for those who may have unknowingly wandered into his attack. Instead he would raise his palm high into the sky, an ominous red glow quickly surrounding it as the aura clustered and gathered into one point, forming a vague sphere as the energy struggled to compress. Upon succeeding to tame the mass amounts of reiatsu the orb would fire in a wide pillar of energy, laying waste to the surroundings as the beam shot forward and advanced toward the humanoid hollows location.
Cero [Zero] 1/12
Level: High
Description:
The user gathers reiatsu to a focal point on their body, such as a fingertip, the tip of a horn, or in their mouth, condensing it into a ball of highly compact spiritual energy. After a few moments of charging, the user releases the Cero as a concentrated beam of reiatsu towards the target. This technique takes longer to prepare for lower level Hollows, and can only make use a fraction of a Hollow’s spiritual energy. This technique can be used once per rank for a Non-Specialist, twice per rank for a Specialist, or three times per rank for a Master. The user may spend extra Hollow Points in order to increase the strength of this ability by one level for every point spent. This ability can only become Very High in strength at maximum.
Restrictions: Must be a Gillian Class Hollow. |

Well, it seemed things were heating up quickly... so quickly, in fact, that there was little time to react to anything. He hadn't see the ape's attack, however he saw the giant gillian smash down his hand to the earth, creating a pile of rubble he scooped in one massive hand. He saw from the side of his eyes a yellow beam pass and he instinctivly looked, only for a small yellow orb to be seen from the Gillian. There wasn't much time, running as fast as he could from the alley way, he sprinted toward Dream who was facing toward the other two Hollows and didn't seem to notice the Gillian behind her, as he did so, he ceased to conceal his reiatsu which would explode fourth from him as a sudden density in the air, perhaps surprising the Hollows, Shinigami, and Gillian. However, Dream would more likely than not remember that spiritual pressure, having lived with him. He would reach her in a few seconds, his arms would attempt to hug her in a firm hold and he would disappear in a dissipating line of horizontal streaks. He would reappear back on the other side of the street, out of the way from the Gillian's massive blast as it crashed past them toward the ape Hollow a momet after they reappeared. As it passed by, Itamiku would release the girl from his grasp, turning around, preparing for the fight he could no longer avoid.
"Well, you seem to have a knack for running into trouble, don't you Dream?" Itamiku asked, his head turning away from the Gillian to look back, his head profile to the fourteen year old, a small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. A moment later, he would turn back to keep an eye on both the Hollows, the Gillian, and the Shinigami. "I don't want you getting hurt." Itamiku said back to Dream, now feeling the spiritual energies of all in the area a little better, and now understanding the Shinigami's confusion on just what those things were, "Stay out of this as much as you can." His voice dead serious. "Something about these two isn't right..."
Their reiatsu was different from that of the Gillian that stood to his right. Instead of a ribbon as he normally felt, it seemed to radiate off of them in frequencies that were constantly changing... It was like their powers didn't have anything grounding them. Focusing, he narrowed in on the Ape-like Hollow's frequency in particular, then moved onto the Snake-like Hollow's for further information about these two... Sense Reiatsu- description of what I sensed plz

Sora sensed a spirit pressure coming fast toward them. Once it had appeared it attack Sora with it tail. The beast was hollow. Taking an appearance of a snake. It swing it tail directly toward Sora. Sora quickly dash out of the way impossible for the average eye to see. Sora had gotten on top of a building near by the three. The wind was slightly blowing. Blowing into his making it seem like his hair was floating. Sora hoped his brother was in the clear and alright. He had no time to stop and worry. Sora had a grin onto his face. Sora had felt there was a few others out there. Not just this hollow, but other ones. And some of the others were here as well. He was ready to get rid of whatever kind of hollow it was. He focus his reisatu into his palm. Placing his other hand over his wrist. A ball of energy of floated in front of his hand. Sora could feel heat from the kido energy ball. He sent the attack directly at the snake head. The attack would explode on contact.

The semi-quite night was broken by a larger howl. He would quickly look look at his brother. He knew something was up, but he couldn't feel anything. Only the howl was his clue. He took a stance to help him dodge anything that would happen. With his bother standing a few feet away he braced himself to run. In a split second a huge snake like hollow would just appear in front of him and his brother. His brother was much faster then himself as he was quicker to react then him. He would look at the tail struck at his brother. He was gone in no time. as the tail struck at him he had his own problem. The mouth of this beat would find its way to him. HE quickly Shunpoed out of the way to his side. he would become visible once again when he found his way three quarters of the way up the building to his side. he would keep at his full speed till he found himself on the top of the building. He quickly scaned for his brother to find that they had the same idea. He watched as his brother show something at this monster.
1/4 Shunpo

The war commenced as soon as the pair of Hollow started their move. They were probably a team from what Kokaku observed, picking up on their own targets for now because there's goddamn many in this area. Just seconds after the howl, the ape was picking on the human-shinigami mix while the other one went for twin shinigami. Despite the ape being a melee fighter-like, it went for a unique attack of his own. Kokaku named it Ape-Quake. Oppositely, the snake went for a melee attack, Snake Whip was the name Kokaku given to the attack.
Just a few seconds and a lot of shit happened. It was so hard to follow the battle even with both reiatsu sense and eye sight. Oh yeah, he sensed some other signals just before the battle. Two that seemed to be shinigami and another one was a very familiar hollow reiatsu. Goddamn, that was the last thing he wanted to happen here, a fucking hollow that he just met long ago that was still alive? Damn.
Right now, we have a few sparrow-like flash flying their way toward the snake-like hollow. A guy Kokaku didn't sense well appeared suddenly near the human girl, now even he saw the guy, he couldn't pick up his reiatsu very well. This guy must be quite strong though as his reiatsu was all around the air, quite similar to the ape and snake hollows. They were no joke. Other than the guy and sparrow, we have a red energy flying toward the ape. Well, it's quite rare to see another hollow destroying his comrade. On a book he read in the great library, Gillian tend to do that because they are stupid and just wanted to feed. Maybe that hollow's a gillian, gonna keep an eye on it then.
Kokaku decided to just go ahead and do something a sniper would do. He He flipped himself over to be back from the balcony so he could stand and have a better aim. He also stopped his concentration on reiatsu concealing for a bit there. Being in the heat of battle, he believed not one of them would sense him out. Even if they did, no one would have the time or mood to look up to the highest building on the area just to check on some guy unrelated to the battle.
The sniper extended his left arm forward, index finger and middle finger pointing at the ape's position(wherever the ape is after the cero hit/fail to hit it), the other arm supported the left arm by holding the shoulder with the hand. "Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance," a red energy fired away from a higher position than the ground. Shit, some other are climbing as well?" thought Kokaku as he continued his chant quickly, "upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws! Hado no Sanjuusan: Sōkatsui!" A huge flash of energy concentrated a few inches away from the fingers was released directly after the chant was complete. A graceful blue flame roared through the air and toward the ape like a hungry lion.
Kokaku quickly concealed his reiatsu again as soon as he released the roaring lion. He didn't want people to see him there, not even shinigami. Not like he distrust shinigamis, but he wanted to support them secretly for now. Leaping through two buildings to the right, he lowered his body to just two to three inches higher than the wall height of the building, observing the battlefield secretly. Now, they were two shinigamis on other buildings. Luckily, they were quite far from his position and he was still on the higher building. Let's just hope they didn't bring the fight higher and higher now.
