[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 River Park was devoid of life. No one but the quiet beasts of the night moved through it, no sound save for the gentle rush of the river. It was here, in the lightless dark, with no mortal to see it, the sky itself was ripped asunder. Between the trees, two horrid monsters stepped into the moonlight. One was a tiny creature, only two meters in height. It had a spindly, humanoid body, thin and pure white. It's twig-like arms ended not in hands, but in bone-like blades, sharpened on the point and edge. It's mask was pure white, displaying no facial features of any visible kind. It moved with a kind of twisted arachnid grace, scurrying along, it's blades and thin torso held low to the ground. Skittering hungry sounds echoed from within a mask that had no visible mouth. A strange green mark, consisting of two circles and five dots, was impressed into it's forehead. It waited as it's companion stepped out of the hole in the sky. The second creature was larger than the first, with a wide frame nearly four meters in height. It was a gross creature, with a body rather like a bipedal lizard. It was covered in red scales, with matted brown fur that seemed to stick out from under the scales. It had thick, muscular legs and four thin arms that constantly weaved in the air before it. It's mask was white, with wide eye-holes that displayed a psychotic visage, and a gaping maw of sharp teeth. A reptilian tongue flickered out from within. It bore the same glowing green stamp on it's forehead as the other. The two of them looked around the park, eyes settling on the city. They had souls to find... [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.

“My my.” Takuya said quietly, stepping out of the Senkaimon Gate, staring at the two creatures. They were right on time, just where the Twelfth Division had predicted. They had the reported signs on their head. They seemed to move with some kind of intelligence, cooperating in a way normally mindless Hollows wouldn't. Strange. He hadn't known quite what to expect from them, but the few survivors had warned that they seemed to possess some kind of cooperative abilities. He narrowed his eyes at the creatures, standing quietly in the shadows, thirty meters away from them.
“Well, it seems I've made first contact.” He mused to himself, settling a hand on Tsukiyomi's dark hilt. He didn't know if he was going to be getting any back-up from Seireitei. He couldn't rely on the humans for assistance either. They were as likely to side with the Hollows as he if they knew that Shinigami were involved with this. They all had a very negative attitude towards Shinigami in his experience. He sighed, shrugging his shoulders and letting his dark hair fall over his eyes. It wasn't like it was his problem anyway. He would just cut them down if they got in the way. He refocused his attention on the Hollows. It didn't look good.
Their reiatsu was different. It seemed to radiate off of them in waves, strangely unstable. Their powers didn't seem to have any solid base. Their reiatsu jumped wildly, as though it was trying to change form. He could detect hints of consumed reiatsu, from Shinigami and Humans, inside them, not fully processed. Something about it all seemed off. They had clearly already gorged themselves on souls, there was no need for them to be in Karakura Town. He growled lightly under his breath. They had to be after something else.
“That's it...” He murmured. He remembered the words of his superiors suddenly. They were kidnapping souls, making off with them. The captured Shinigami were never heard from again. Not only that, but they took Hollows and Humans captive as well. They seemed to show now discrimination between the types of dead spirits, or even between the living and the dead. He patted Tsukiyomi again, hearing her murmuring to him. Soon, darling. He promised her. Soon, she would get her chance to fight...

It was a normal night, so it seemed. The chilly air slowly made goosebumps appear on Atsuko's arm. It was very quiet, you could only hear the trickle of the water flowing down the river. The night sky was an endless canvas with glittering stars being subservient to the bright moon.
"I wander what all the commotion is all about?"... the young Shinigami thought. The lad just shrugged his shoulders, expecting something to happen. He walked around to see if he could someone he knew. He saw a distant figure in the background, though it seems like it was one of the Atsuko's fellow men. Another Shinigami. Atsuko rushed to the Shinigami and introduced himself to the lad.
"Atsuko Mizushima of the 6th Division, reporting for duty!"
He wondered what the Shinigami was looking at, he soon realized that the reiatsu that was giving off from the hollows. This isn't the usual reiatsu that hollows have, it immediately came to Atsuko's attention that it was these hollows who were snatching the poor souls away and never gain to be seen again. These hollows were the prime targets for this mission. Atsuko grew furious at hollows, he wanted justice for those that were taken. yet he was hesitant. He had never really developed his bond with his Zanpakutou and develop the skills to defeat these dark mysterious hollow.
"What's the plan? Should we wait for the others?", he uttered to the other Shinigami. The young lad slowly placed his right hand on the dark blue hilt of his sword, slowly gripping it tight so that he could be ready to fight when the occasion arose.

The night that greeted me was by no means kind, the warm bosom I long yearned for replaced by the cold, wet, damp maws of an otherworldly beast. Only a few scampered around and about, but on this ominous night, I was of the night that rode it for what it truly was; the only real battlefield that remained. Fresh off my division transfer, I had been sent as assistance for a group inserted into a real-world battlefield, losing all form of authority I carried in the second division, as well as autonomy, and finally, choice of assignment. My handler assured me this task was of some importance, but I was poorly briefed before being shoved into the Senkaimon. My doubts, they were rising already.
Tch – typical bureaucrats…
But there was a reason I had been forcefully transferred, and thus, often relied on for such situations with poor odds. My ability to maintain my existence under harsh circumstances had been proven many a times over upon my second division missions, and while I was rather conventional with my kido, I was infections to spread tactics of battle that ensured safety in numbers; I guessed they hoped I could once more recreate what seemed, to me, a rare ability that peaks only in the face of peril. Sighing heavily, I would find my subjects somewhat near, my reiatsu sensing abilities picking their locations up, as per command, as well as something else – had our contact begun already…? I would not waste time to arrive at their side. I spoke from only a few feet away.
“G – 1st division reinforcement.”
More like oversight. However, at this point, I was instructed merely to observe, not direct; the one that stood before me with long flowing hair had been reported to outrank me severely, and therefore, was assigned as my main target of suport. A nod was given to the other fellow as well, which seemed to be engaged in a similar task as my own. Regardless, no small talk was made on my behalf. I sensed danger nearby. Midst my reconnaissance, I vowed to stay sharp.

Saah Flemmy's body was still flying across the sky, in the oddest way as he remained crisscrossed his lips creased around a straw protruding from a juice bottle. He was nearing the park, he could tell from the building he now passed over, this place had become an entire map to him besides minor details or any wrecks caused by this town's common anomalies. His decent was speeding, he was around five meters from the ground when he sensed a disturbance, the air seemed to vibrate, his blood began to pulse. More unique things were here, these creatures, their reiatsu was unique. He picked this up instantly, they weren't the everyday creatures, but they were hollows no doubt. He didn't see them but he knew they were. He instantly unfurled himself going into a flip planting his feet into a passing building, slowing quickly as his movement went to a stand still. His juice slid from the straw falling to the ground with a plop, he almost cried out for it. But he held it in, gripping a window sill to keep onto the side of the building.
He needed to do something clearly, extermination? He clung to the wall like a spider, going through options, he was at least twenty to thirty meters away from the feel. Then he found something else, yes, there were more of him, more shinigami. He kept the straw inside his mouth as a little blush colored his face, but what to do now. He looked around, his eyes flickering around in search, and now he saw the hollows. Amazing, bright white mask, sickening monstrous eyes, deformed bodies, the bloodlust oozing from them. The shinigami were close by, but he was entranced now. The hollows had marks upon their form, red marks...But why?
More problems, he was duped, they weren't the run of the mill hollows. His grip loosened, his fingers slowly released, his body dropping to the ground while using his reiatsu to slow his descent as he reached the ground, dust lifting around him. He smiled pleased, the straw gripped between his teeth. His body faded into the shadows of the stores, eyes intent and alert. It was dangerous to reveal himself, he slowly crawled back before tripping over a can and slaming his head onto concrete. "Nng," he squirmed and pulled himself up. Nobody saw that, his eyes flung around once more, he was far away enough to not be spotted by the hollows. What was to come of this?

Aya received the news from the 12th division messenger about something abnormal within the human world and she had to check it out as soon as possible. She was told to expect reinforcement and that maybe someone is already there checking it out. She finally step from the Senkaimon Gates to see the famous Karakura Town. Now, she just had to wait and see what happens and then an idea strucked her, she could sense reiatsu around her. As she did so, Aya was able to pinpoint five reiatsu altogether and decided to head there. It was around midnight in this town, well this time was always her favorite one as she was used to doing things in the dark when she was still small.
Upon arriving, she would be careful to not get noticed but then, she saw three shinigami standing there looking at something, well at the last two reiatsu she detected earlier. Aya came closer to them and looked at the direction they had been looking at, hollows, there were two. Something was weird about them but first she would need to introduce herself. "Hello, I am Aya from 13th division. Could anyone brief me on what we are doing here?" she would ask the trio. Just after asking, she realized there was Takuya, the shinigami who saved her from Hueco Mundo and an incredibly strong shinigami.
She would think for a while for it was strange sending someone that strong here. The hollows were probably not normal and there was something at works she did not know about but will find out sooner or later, well sooner would be still better. "Hello Takuya." she would say to him "What's happening?". She would not recognize the other two shinigami though she guessed they were probably as strong as Takuya, why would they need her though. "Oh well. At least I get some action." she was secretly happy for if she remained behind, her other work would be doing paperwork and making up new strategies to effectively run the playground. |

My Grim Reaper-like form — void of skeletal extremities and scythe — floated gently toward the ground after emerging from a Garganta in the sky. Standing at a height of seven feet, my cloaked figure landed approximately 10 meters behind a group of Shinigami. Peering over the group of Shinigami, I caught a glimpse of the Hollow duo and the targets of my mission. Each Hollow possessing an energy signature that fluctuated between Hollow, Shinigami, Human, and Quincy, Sitting atop their forehead is a strange symbol consisting of two circles and five dots.
These two pieces of information given to my by my superiors, the Espada, helped me to identify the suspects responsible for the abduction of Hollow. I could not comprehend why Hollow would chose to abduct a being instead of consume their targets but I need not concern myself with such questions. All I am required to do is interrogate one of the Hollow for information on their superiors before eliminating the threats. Failing this mission is not an option for all that wait for me should I fail is death.
Looking to the group of Shinigami, I knew I did not have time to deal with their hate toward my kind. Finishing this mission would be hard enough without the constant Shingami attacks my race is prone to. No matter what, I had to avoid a battle with this band of Shinigami. I have no choice but to call for a cease fire between Shinigami and Hollow. As unlikely as that is, a three-way battle would only increase the number of casualties and difficulty of the subsequent battle.
"Relax, Shinigami. I am not here to cause trouble. We are after the same targets so I suggest a temporary truce. I assure you, this would benefit both parties."
After voicing my opinion, I suddenly recognized the two strongest Shinigami (Takuya and G) and the female (Aya). I, however, hoped they did not recognize me for our past encounters did not go so well. |

{Freeform posting order I assume?}
Walking around at night in the park. A simple stroll or something more? Perhaps I was simply enjoying the night air, or maybe..... maybe I was hunting. Hunting for the hated enemy of my race, the Hollows. Over time it seemed that my steps were irrevocably directed to a certain place, an unconscious drawing of myself unto the area of gradually mounting reiatsu. It seemed others had been similarly led, as there was a great sort of group of people I could see off in the distance, all wearing some sort of black robes.
Suddenly my skin began to tingle, faintly at first, but rapidly building until it felt like a low current of electricity was continuously cascading all over my form. It was at the crescendo of this feeling that a great maw opening in the sky before me, and the tingling turned instantly into a feeling of dread and foreboding. I looked up to behold it, my reibuki springing practically unbidden into my right hand. I witnessed the resulting sight in silence, my mouth open at first in surprise but quickly coming together and turning downward in the grim and harsh look of anger and resolve.
I continued to walk forward as the two great beings traveled through the great opening to appear within the real world, and witnesses the reactions of the crowd before me. I would hang back for the moment, not wishing for them to feel threatened by my presence. I had approached from a different side then Sine Nefas and so did not witness his form for the moment, nor hear his proclamation. My whip at the ready, I would analyze the situation before proceeding, as well as observe the actions of the others before me.
The monsters seemed.... odd somehow. I could not help but sense their reiatsu, overflowing as it was around the whole area. They had strange markings on their heads, and seemed to be almost a combination of things. They did not have the traditional feel of a hollow, but it was difficult to place what exactly they felt like. I had heard the rumors for some time now.... an increased rash of kidnappings from this world, and perhaps from other places as well. Initially I had simply placed the blame upon hollows, thinking that perhaps a small band had organized in order to overcome and capture humans. But as I witnessed these new creations, I began to understand that there was something to the rumors after all.
Only time would tell....

In an attempt to find Animus it seems I've stumbled upon many powerful spiritual pressures. I did not understand why my strength did not grow as theirs have. I can feel Animus is even more powerful than the time I had seem him. As I soared about the sky I was able to see a small opening, was it another of my kind? Unable to see what it was, I flew closer. My wings were spread wide, and I would cut the air ever so swiftly as I glided towards the object within question.
Flying above, I could see animus, and quickly let me wings in to dive below. Pulling them out again to slow my fall, the wind from my wings would amass below. I would land, and before me I would see Animus, and many shinigami. It seemed they were not fighting each other, so perhaps they would know what was going on. As I landed I would greet animus. It had only been a small amount of time since our last encounter, but he had already evolved. He had obtained the Adjuchas level. I was envious.
"I almost didn't recognize you. You have grown much since our last meeting. I'm quite jealous."
[/i] My voice had quite the low tone as I admitted the jealousy I had for his strength. I looked over at the shinigami, and back at Animus. "I take it the only reason you haven't begun to attack each other is the same reason I was drawn here. Do you feel it too?" I was speaking in general to Animus, but that question was easily for anyone to answer. I kept a close eye on the shinigami. If they would attack I would be ready for it, or whatever lurked within the deeps of the night.[/blockquote][/font] |

Twenty meters from either party, the hollows looked at one another, reiatsu pulsing along their foreheads. Slowly, they turned to look at the beings before them. A great host had assembled to take them down. A whole mess of Shinigami, five in total, had gathered, seemingly under the command of one dark-haired god of death. Twin Hollows, those that should have been their brothers, were waiting in the wings, wary of both his comrades and the Shinigami. Apart from all of them, a Quincy, a kind of human warrior these two had much experience with, had wandered unto the battlefield. It seemed like this would truly be a bountiful evening.
An earsplitting howl would escape from their mouths, synchronized as one. They would turn, each facing different enemies. Far apart from anyone but each other, the reptilian Hollow would crack it's mouth open wide, gathering a pool of thick reiatsu into a ball. Beside it, facing away, the spindly doll-like Hollow was gathering the same burst of reiatsu in between it's bladed arms. Screeching and howling, they thrust forward. The congealed red reiatsu of their twin Ceros would blast forward, each aimed at different places. The thick cero of the spindly one was aimed towards the group of Shinigami, racing directly towards their leader. The reptiloid Hollow aimed his blast towards the Quincy, shooting a highly condensed blast towards him.
In a flash of motion, the battle had begun. With twin static flickers, the two beasts disappeared. The spindly one reappeared before the leader of the Shinigami, it's bladed arm flashing downward with incredible speed. Meanwhile, the reptilian one would appear beside this new, cloaked Hollow, it's claw sweeping towards the foe, it's fur bristling. Both of them were prepared to evade any attack on their persons as the battle began in an instant. There was no chance for diplomacy with these creatures...

“Hmm...” Takuya said, as reinforcements arrived in quick sucession. He inclined his head to Anzu Aya, acknowledging the only Shinigami he knew out of the gathered souls. “Welcome, everyone.” His fingers wrapped around the hilt of Tsukiyomi, gripping her lightly and preparing for the battle to begin. “We don't know what kind of powers these things possess. Fight cautiously.” His eyes flicked to the side, without moving his head, as two Hollows approached, this time without the strange sigil on their heads. One of them pulsed with a very familiar reiatsu.
“Bushido-san...” He said clearly, acknowledging the creature. “You've changed. As loath as I am to admit it, I don't want to fight you and these creatures at once. A temporary alliance is acceptable to us.” He spoke for the whole of the gathered Shinigami, as the commanding officer. He wondered what exactly had happened to the samurai Hollow to change him so much. He didn't seem even remotely like a samurai any more. Now, it almost seemed that he was trying to imitate a God of Death, clothed and concealed in black. A sudden ripple in the reiatsu of the creatures before him directed his attention back forward.
“Scatter.” He said calmly, addressing the gathered Shinigami. “Coordinate your attacks, and be careful.” A moment later, the energy erupted as a Cero, coming right towards the group of Shinigami. Takuya narrowed his eyes, staring down the burst of crimson energy flying at him. He moved with a sudden whooshing sound, his body disappearing as the reiatsu plowed through the spot he stood in. [1.16] He reappeared to the side, noting the sudden movements of his enemy. He drew his blade in a flash, catching the downward slash of the hollow along the edge of his zanpaktou.
“Good. Strong.” He said, smirking. He forced his blade upwards, knocking the spindly arm of the creature up and out of the way. Hopefully, it would give him enough of an opening to slash diagonally at the creature, his blade drawing a powerful line that would tear through the chest of the Hollow if it connected. He would be ready with his blade a second later if the slash was deflected, preparing another strike and dodging the counter-attack. It seemed the battle was on..

The Shinigami was very surprised with the outcome of the people who turned up to defeat these horrendous hollows. Many of whom Atsuko had never had the pleasure working with before. There were many of his fellow comrades and the honorable Qunicy helping them out. But he'd never thought they would work with the likes of the various hollow. How ironic, common enemies unite to destroy their common foe, the young Shinigami thought. "Holy crap!", he uttered as he witnessed the reptalian-like hollow gather an enormous amount of reiatsu and fired it the Quincy. It was the first time Atsuko had ever gone up against a hollow with such power. "I guess we all have to be carefull."
This is it. The time that Atsuko needed to put his abilities to the test. Nothing was going to change these creatures minds. Death was the only possible outcome for them. Atsuko gripped tightly onto his Zanpakuto's hilt and drewed it out from its kouguchi that wrapped around his chest diagonally. Excitement and adrenaline ran though his veins as the thought of fighting with his fellow Shinigami popped into his mind.
He was very analystic in the way how he would fight. Atusko would aways look at his opponent and trying to suss them out, see if there was a weakness sport or not. Frustrating as it was, the young man couldn't find such an error in these mysterious beasts. He wondered if he could creep up on the backside of the creature. A decisive decision had to be made. Time was short. He quickly dashed forward towards the reptilian-like hollow and used shunpo to get behind him. Just as he saw the opportunity to hit he took it. He swung his sword in an upwards motion, cutting the mysterious creature. "Quickly, the hollow is open!", Atsuko yelled hoping that his friends would help him out. The outcome of this fight would determine who would die. Only time could tell.

Though many had arrived to claim names, alliances, and divisions, none would affect me more than the reiatsu of one man – Animus. I struggled at that very moment to put a face to the name or even pair the unique energy to an identity for that matter, but the minute I sensed it, I knew I had made no mistake in inferring I'd felt the beast's pull before. That fated day when several shinigami were kidnapped, I had vowed to find him. Yet until now he had fooled my eyes, and for a moment, I deliberated on the idea of my insanity. However, his arrival would re-invigorated my resolve to kill, even if it did appear as if a truce was in order between these three deadlocked races – it’d just mean their targets would the ones to suffer the brunt of their rage, thrice over!
Just what ARE these things...!?
Like the man before me I’d disappear under Shunpo’s blessing, a single [1/10] charge allowing the once threatening reiatsu to be rendered useless under my speedy talents. Having been tactically sound, I would choose my relocation somewhat behind me, so that the anticipated rush of the beasts would not catch me off guard. I’d classify their imminent attacks as a simple usual attempt at a back-attack, a very common practice paired with high-speed movement. And as expected, so they did; I would count my blessings for not being the initial target, and quickly reacted in a way that would make them wish they had. Soon, it’d be to the Lightning come alive. All I needed was room, which at the moment, I had none. With my targets engaging friendlies, I would have to watch my fire.
“Secrets…hidden in darkness; reveal yourself and hinder your carrier...”
My Shunpo left me ten meters behind my previous position, with the raven haired shinagami and his hollow assailant exposing their backs to me, just around ten meters away. My incantation was whispered, ushered under my breath right as the beast re-appeared to strike my comrade. With Takuya already blocking the strike, the beast would have appendages no more, compressed behind its back almost instantly upon casting, as it strode to cut flesh down, so that the finishing blow could come on Takuya's behalf. For the moment, there was no one else around me within ten meters. The final words of the incantation left my tongue like the name of a freshly fallen lover; everywhere, it was cold as ice.
“Bakudo no Ichi – Sai”
[/font][/size] Bakudō No. 1: Sai (Way of Binding No. 1: Restrain) [/u] SP: ϟ[/color] Type: Binding Art. Description: The most basic of Binding Kidō, the user gathers energy while chanting the incantation. The energy swirls around the opponent, and then when the user calls out the name of the spell and extends their hand towards the target, the energy will descend and wrap around the opponent. The most common target for this spell is the opponent's arms, but the legs may also be targeted. Bound by an invisible energy, the opponent will find it difficult to move the afflicted areas, as if it were constrained by a rope. Sufficient physical force will cause the binding to shatter prematurely. Incantation: Secrets, hidden in darkness, reveal yourself and hinder your carrier. Bakudo no Ichi: Sai!

Watching from the recesses of the alley Flem watched, the group of shinigami mulitply. His eyes flickered to a side as he noted a hollow approaching the others, how quaint, last time he checked they were out for each others head, but he doubted the creature would get far if entering combat. Words were exchanged for some odd reason, nobody seemed to attack him or show hostility so it was only good to assume the hollow was making the best of his resources, how sad. Behind him came another winged creature, riding the breeze, stopping along with the other shinigami. It was an interesting sight, but he let it pass under the circumstances. Enemy or not, these newly noticed creatures were well above these on the Kill list.
Hollow can be killed another day, these creatures are anomalies that have never been encountered before and need theirs end, which one first. With the obvious in mind he continued to observe, feeling quite out of the loop with his snoopy business. In moments the world was brought into battle, the hollows released their cero's, aiming in opposite directions. Someone else was within their midst, whom he had no idea. He let off a shifty grunt and vanished.[1:8] Appearing a about twelve meters from his position diagonally, watching as the head shinigami, from the feel of his reiatsu, deflected the attack of one of the beastly creatures.
He watched from the window of a broken building now, he felt as spineless as a snake at this moment, while urged to join in he didn't quite get what was unique about these hollow, their must be some catch to their altered reiatsu, time to gather data. "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own..." he held onto the last words waiting and watching, watching the second hollow approaching another target, he needed them still.
Bakudō No. 9: Geki (Way of Binding No. 9: Strike)
Type: Binding Art.
Description: Extending the caster's dominant hand forward, they will then begin the incantation for the spell. A red light will begin to completely envelop them, similar to new casters of the Shakkaō. When the incantation is finished, the red light will form as a thin beam of energy, which then flies towards the opponent. The red light, upon striking the opponent, will completely envelop them, hindering any and all movements, greatly reducing their speed capabilities. A sufficient counterspell is required to break the technique, as brute physical force cannot release them from something that is not completely restraining them. Lasts for three turns.
Incantation: Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!
Restrictions: Must know Bakudō no Hachi: Seki.

More shinigami were arriving every second she waited for Takuya's answer. She could clearly sense every new spiritual presence nearby, there was even one human among the new arrivals. Aya was confused as to why a human would be here, he looked nothing like the other humans and apparently had pretty high reiatsu than all the other humans she had encountered. Aya would feel another new reiatsu, this time it was really familiar, she had definitely encountered it before. Looking around, she would see a hollow although just by looking, she had no idea who that might be but wait, he was a hollow. Before she could do anything, the hollow would say it came in peace and did not want to fight them, how unusual for a hollow she thought and was determined to guard this creature if it were to attack them.
Soon, it became clear, they would use the hollow's help this time, Takuya made an alliance with that creature for the time being and he even knew the hollow "Bushido-san" he called him. By hearing that name she realized it all of a sudden, the hollow was her captor. She still remembered that time when they were captured to Hueco Mundo but it was not the time to remember the past now. They could hear the voices of the two hollow now, they were preparing for an attack. Looking up, Aya would notice the hollow gathering reiatsu into their mouths "Damn" she cursed and Takuya gave an order and she would shunpo [1/11] away, well just about 20 meters behind from where she stood to not get hit by that Cero the hollows were attacking with now.
As she flickered away, she reappeared way behind the place she just stood. The other shinigami would disperse too which was good. One Cero was supposed to hit them and the other was headed towards the human who she hope was good enough to escape it. Takuya would now attack a hollow which appeared at him somehow and the other reptilian hollow appeared at Bushido-san. "No time to wait." she said to herself and started enchanting a kido. "Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" she would say and direct her hands at the reptilian hollow's body "Hado no Sanjuusan: Sōkatsui!" as she finished the chant a blue reiatsu would fire from her hands towards the hollow. Lets hope it hits her target. Sensing reiatsu
Hadō No. 33: Sōkatsui (Way of Destruction No. 33: Blue Fire, Crash Down)
Type: Destruction Art.
Description: The user gather reiatsu to their fingers, extending the palm of their dominant hand to point towards the target, fingers extended.

The dominant hand will crackle with blue energy before releasing a large, flame-like burst of reiatsu from that spreads out in a wide cone fashion, dealing harsh burns to whatever is struck by the reiatsu.
Incantation: Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws! Hado no Sanjuusan: Sōkatsui!

Awaiting an answer from Takuya, the pulse of another spiritual being brought my attention to the descending creature. Without even looking in his direction, I recognized the dragonic creature landing beside me. Responding to his inquiry, I would not turn to face him nor would I move in any manner. Losing sight of the enemy for one second could prove fatal and any sudden movements might spark an unwanted reaction. My caution originating from the fact that Takuya and I possessed the largest amount of energy; representing our prowess.
"I do feel it. We'll chit-chat later. Avoid causing a three-way battle."
I could only hope for Daimuerte to follow my advice and not purposely provoke the group of Shinigami. Almost immediately after that thought, I heard the voice of Takuya agreeing to my terms, granting me a meager relief. That is until the screeching echo of the hollow broke the silence as the creatures started the course of the battle. Watching as the enemies prepared the use of a Cero, my mind and body already in motion to counter. Index finger pointed at the direction of the spindly hollow, I too began the charging of my Cero.
"I suggest you Shinigami move."
Simultaneously as the hollow released their Cero, I unleashed my own in defense. Both techniques clashing, mine is of higher quality, allowing my Cero to consume the other and still blast off into the distance. Maintaining my ground, anyone would think I was overconfident in my abilities; giving the impression I had already annihilated the enemy. This, however, is not the case as my eyes did not fail to notice the static movement of both creatures. And as the reptilian creature reappeared to my side in attempts to strike, he had fallen into my trap.
Charging blindly at an enemy would cause the downfall of this creature as from seemingly my side, a Cero is fired at the creature. Without any movement, I fired a Cero at any enemy who I did not even look at. Any would be confused as to what I did and only I knew what transpired. Manipulation of shadows granted me untold ability at performing and detecting sneak attacks of all kinds. The shadows in the crevices of my cloak granting me vision of my foe the moment his blurred form appeared. In tandem, a second shadow initiated the creation of a Cero that would be fired moments later and should the hollow be struck, death would be imminent.
Oh, and as for the Shinigami charging the reptilian hollow from behind? I knew of his movements but simply did not care enough to purposely avoid him. Instead, my Cero is aimed at a slight angle, granting him a split second to escape but still guaranteeing the reptilian hollows death.
Name El Teatro de Sombra (Shadow Play) - Unique Trait
Level: Very High
Description: Sine possesses an affinity for darkness, granting him the ability to freely manipulate any shadow within range. His ability is limited to manipulating any shadow as long as it does not belong to a living create besides himself. Skill in shadow manipulation allows him the creation of rudimentary 2D and 3D shapes and is able to use his shadows as means of sensory. They allow him to see, hear, feel, taste and even smell whatever is around a chosen shadow. A manipulated shadow is capable of drawing upon almost limitless amounts of shadow to increase the range of any attack but large amounts of Reiatsu are drained for long distances. Each shadow creation is capable of enduring a Very High amount of damage before being destroyed. Sine's range limit of control is 40 meters — increasing 8 meters each rank.
Restrictions: Unique to Sine.
Cero (Zero) x 2
Level: Very 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. |

I continued my advancement, wary of both the unidentified beings before me as well as the hollow-like creatures who had appeared. As I crested a sort of hill before me, I saw something new that had previously eluded my range of sight. Two new forms were situated off to the left, one wrapped in shadow that was difficult to see, but had the distinctive stench of a hollow. An extremely powerful one at that. And beside him, a well recognized form, a dragon hollow that I had tangled with only recently. Anger built within me, frustration over that time as well as a deep desire to see him dead. I might have tried to engage him despite the powerful one at his side, but my attention was forced back towards the hollow-hybrids.
The bleak silence of the night was suddenly split in two by a great, piercing cry. Turning my gaze forth to regard the original targets, I witnesses the telltale gathering of crimson reiatsu upon their forms, both seemingly aimed in my direction. I had not witnessed a 'Cero' before, but I had learned of the powerful energy attack from my foster father, and knew to avoid it at all costs. Surely both attacks could not be aimed at me solely, as the remaining beings did not appear to be on friendly terms with the hybrids. However it was only common sense to be prepared, and so when the thin beam was first released and its trajectory set, I would allow myself to slide forward a bit, gliding down the hill. This moment would be at high speed and would set me down below the path of the cero that had been aimed at me, but still some distance away from the group of shinigami, although I did not know them as such.
This movement would be precise and quick, preparing it as I determined the direction of the attack so that I could utilize it to act on the smallest of openings. The cero was quick, but still took a fraction of time to reach me, in which I slid away. As I continued to watch the unfolding battle, it seemed most of the black-robed figures had avoided the blast aimed at them, and the two attackers had utilized what could only be sonido to enter into close combat with both the hollows to my left and the individuals grouped before me.
Breaking into a run, I prepared a strategy of attack, forgetting the hollows momentarily in the face of a greater danger. It should be obvious to those before me that I meant them no harm, and would instead endeavor to assist them. I was not yet in range of the targets, but would travel quickly, my first objective the spindly one closer to me.

It seemed the shinigami weren't going to attempt to kill us at this moment. That is for the greater good of both parties, and I understood when Animus told me not to attack them. I would listen to him. Too many shinigami to fight on my own, and should I disobey him, Animus could smite me where I stand. Instead I turned my focus to our new found enemies. As I could hear the charging of Cero, it seemed Animus had as well, for he countered with his own cero. It easily blasted through the other Cero, and as it did I took to the sky. Quickly I would move upwards. And then down I would dive towards the creature that was furthest away. As I did I could hear Animus most likely finishing one of the creatures off.
Beginning my dive, I would create a burst of speed through the use of one sonido. As I would become closer, my scales would show forth their strength, turning to a hard diamond exterior. I could not hold this technique that long, but hopefully it would be long enough to defeat the enemies. As it would weigh me down, I would become much heavier, and fall to the ground much harder. I pivoted my wings to glide hard, and another sonido was used. As I would appear to the hollow, I would be directly to the left of him. Using my strong acrobatic skills, I would barrel roll as I would slam my steel like body into him. Should I fail to hit him, another plan would allow me to redirect my attack.

The first hollow, the spindly one, seemed to cock it's head as it's blow was stopped. It had not been expecting that. It moved suddenly as the binding materialized around it's arms, forcing apart the blindings easily and bringing both bladed arms up to deflect the incoming strike from the Shinigami leader. It jumped back, avoiding the massive falling strike of the hollow like creature. It swung back, swinging it's arms in wide motions that threw two sharp blades of hollow-like reiatsu towards the dragon, like slashing blades.
The reptillian creature, however, had a harder time with it. As it arrived, however, it could see the power of cero developing for his opponent. He murmured a few words, and a moment later he was wrapped in a shell of reiatsu that deflected the second Cero away from it, blocking the massive strike. It began to break as the rest of the blows knocked it away. It jumped back, eyes narrowed at the other foes, it's mouth working softly. What was the strange power of the creature?
