Bleach: Rise of the Bount [PG-13][Co-Owned by Ryuujinn][Second Arc][Accept via OOC]

[.:Blu:.]

"(Modified hollows, just as I feared...... These hollows wouldn't be able to cause this much damage if they were below Gillian level. What could've possibly modify these hollows. Another question is, are there going to be more attacks on the Seireitei? If so we need to know how to defend ourselves.)" Iyusaka thought to himself as he put his hand on his chin again.

 

"Tell me captains, have you discovered any weaknesses that we can exploit?" Iyusaka asked with a serious tone. "If so you must have a messenger sent to the other divisions. There might be another attack, and we must be ready. We cannot afford to lose more shinigami." said Iyusaka while stepping back a little.

[Hollow Ichigo!]

Listening in on the meeting was Jackel.

 

"I would have to disagree if a message gets sent out whos there to make sure a hollow doesnt intercept it." "If its more convienient I could go and warn the other divisions of what to look out for."

 

Thinking how there are much stronger captains than him he realized he is the perfect candidate.

 

"Hollows pick on me for my size, thinking I am an easy kill, some of them dont even go after me."

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

"You know how I am," Sven said, "Plus it seems they are doing fine anyway." He turned around as the Primera materialized. Though there was a difference in rank, the pressure wasn't so great of a difference. "So why are you all hidden up in here anyways? he asked. He waited for the Primera to answer, though he turned to see that the fighting was basicly over and the captains all fled. "Well nevermind your thoughts about a threat. They seem to have all disbanded the fight from Zasalamel and the other Espada. Should I go ahead and cause my own set of chaos amoung them?" he asked before letting the Primera answer the first question.

[Damiano Tosē]

Achiha said looking at everybody, even the chamber 46 spokesperson. Achiha Sousuke said. Achiha Sousuke listened and heard everyword everybody said. Sousuke said. Sousuke said as he turned his attention to Raizou. Sousuke said as he was about to leave the building. Sousuke said as he went through the doors and left.

[ryuujinn]

Zasalamel was eavesdropping at Ninjew and the Primera's conversation. He just had an idea that would rock the very foundations of Seireitei. He flicked a wrist, and opened another window-sized Garganta. The same shadowy ear that appeared earlier was present once again, quivering as usual.

 

"Privaron, I want you to back off first. I want to see how they handle an Espada-level combatant." Zasalamel said, closing the Garganta as he finished. He then turned towards the pale-head beside him, poking out of the small Garganta.

 

"Sven, how'd you like to accompany me towards Seireitei?" Zasalamel said rather casually, stretching his legs and arms, "I'd like to say hi to our fellow captains."

 

Zasalamel stood on top of a tree, waiting for Sven to answer.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Raizou cleared his throat as Jackel entered the scene. He glared at him with intensity and disdain. He disliked people suddenly entering the conversations.

 

"You, 10th Squad Captain Jackel, are either late or have a habit of not saying hi before attending meetings.," Raizou cracked his knuckles and glared at the rest of the attendants, "You'd best not be like him, or you lot are not going to like it. And Captain Sousuke, stand your ground, I am not yet finished."

 

He cleared his throat a bit before continuing, arranging his trench coat.

 

"And no, Captain Sousuke and Captain Jackel. That would not be necessary. Dissemination of information will be handled by the 13th Division," He shot Yomi a glare, "Which means you better start working your behind off, Captain Jukenjiro."

 

Yomi shook his head at the remark, but he didn't speak. He knew better than to sound of a witty comment, not when the atmosphere is palpable enough.

 

"Captains Sanketsu, Iyusaka, and Sousuke, I am expecting you as frontier guards. West Gate is yours, Captain Sousuke. South Gate is Captain Iyusaka's, and the East Gate is Captain Sanketsu's. The North Gate will be handled by Captain Jackel. I expect Captain-Quality performance from each of you, nothing less. Understood? If you don't have any questions, go now. I have matters to attend to with the Kido Corps."

 

Raizou's word were urgent and intense. His eyes glared one last time at the captains, then he turned his back, and waved a hand towards the Kido Users, signaling them to shut down the barrier.

 

At this point, Yomi started to casually move towards the door. Information dissemination, huh? I would've wanted to check on the west gate, but I'll do that later. For now, I must find the remaining divisions.

 

Meanwhile, at the Western Rukongai District, Zasalamel picked at the debris, checking pieces of rubble as if very interested.

 

"My. My. Those hollows of mine know no restraint," He let out a small snigger, "Well, couldn't have asked for more. Now, to draw out the shinigamis."

 

He held out a hand in front of him, opening his palms as he directed it towards the giant guardian of the West Gate. A hazy yellowish reiatsu sizzled and fizzed in front of his palms, condensing into a ball.

 

"Here's a small present from me to you, Seireitei." He said, shooting out an electric-sort of reiatsu at the gate-guardian. The guardian was hit squarely at the stomach, landing on his back as a surge of negative particles paralyzed him. He fell loudly, like a cannon going off. "Now now, that shouldn't be entirely deadly. I just needed the bang."

 

He waited for any immediate response from Seireitei, whistling happily. I sure hope Sven takes the other Gates. This should be Fun.

[Damiano Tosē]

Achiha then stopped and heard was his assignment was. "Do i really need to take orders from a spokesperson? Whatever. Just don't mess up your part of the plan or else you'll be dead quick." Sousuke said as he left the doors and used his shunpo to go to the West gate. With the explosion being heard loudly, Sousuke was then an inch away from the gate-guardian, seeing him on the ground.

 

"Get up you lazy bum." Sousuke said. He felt an enormous reiatsu standing infront of the guardian. He looked and saw that it was an arrancar.

 

"My. My. What have we here?" Sousuke said addressing to the arrancar. "Well now... your a powerful arrancar are ya?" Sousuke said again as he used his shunpo and appeared infront the arrancar.

 

"Powerful enough to take down the guard i see. But let's see if your strong enough to take me on. The division 7 captain, the black angel, Sousuke Achiha." Sousuke said as he released his zanpaktou.

 

"I may be the shortest, but height does not matter now. Speed, agility, strategy, awareness, and strength determines the winner here." Sousuke said.

[.:Blu:.]

As Raizou left the meeting room, Iyusaka was walking towards the front entrance. "(How peculiar, this man. He want the captains to guard the front gates. Hmm, are the hollows that strong to have made Chamber 46 decided to let the captains guard the gates? Are they strong enough to hold their own against Lieutenants? I wonder.......)"

 

Iyusaka thought to himself as he turned around to the other captains. "Well, it was nice to see all of my fellow captains again. I guess I must be going now, I wouldn't want any hollows barging into the Seireitei. Well, goodbye my fellow captains." Iyusaka said with a friendly smile towards the other captains. Iyusaka then shunpo'd away. He then reappears outside traveling to the South Gate on the rooftops of the buildings. "Well, that was an interesting meeting. That Raizou guy sure knows how to get people motivated." Iyusaka said jokingly.

 

Iyusaka then arrived at the South Gate where several shingami were awaiting his arrival. "Cpt. Iyusaka, you're here." said one of the multiple shinigami. "Well, I guess all of you are relieved of your duties. You can go now." Iyusaka said while giving a friendly smile. "Thank you sir." the shinigami said as he and the others leave the gate. "{Sigh} Guess I'm stuck out here for the time being......." Iyusaka said as he leaned back on the gate doors.

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]]

I'm introducing NPCs while the other Espada positions haven't filled yet.. These NPCs won't be Espada level, but they'll still pose a level of difficulty like the Hormigas and the Berserkers. :)

 

 

As the shinigamis at the south gate dispersed, the ground shook violently. The Southern Gate Area shook violently, as if a massive earthquake occurred. Despite the magnitude of the shake, the affected area was only the Southern Gate, and it didn't expand outwards. As soon as the shaking subsided, a massive, rotting hand exploded from out of the ground, smashing the nearby structures in front of the Southern Gate. A massive head, the size of an average house followed the hand, then an equally massive body, finally the creature towered over Captain Iyusaka.

 

It was a monstrosity of sorts. Its head seemed to have been stitched from different hollow faces, its four eyes looking in different directions, and constantly moving. It has no mouth and nose, only ears and four eyes. Its pair of equally gigantic arms, the size of a huge tree trunk, has the number 76 tattooed across each of them. Its gigantic hands pressed down on the ground with such force that the earth cracks deep. Its massive body is engulfed in an organic looking, flesh-like substance that constantly bubbles. The substance is yellowish and bile colored. Its feet is buried underground. It roared angrily at Captain Iyusaka, sending a torrent of saliva towards the captain.

 

[spoiler=[b]El Higante[/b]]

Offense: 10/10

Defense: 10/10

Strength: 10/10

Speed/Dexterity: 5/10

Intelligence: 5/10

Cero: 0/10

Reiatsu: 10/10

Total: 50/70

 

Note**: El Higante's 10/10 Str meant it cannot be completely bound by any Bakudo Spells (i.e Six Pillar of Lights cannot completely seal of its movements, and Danku cannot completely block its attack. 5/10 Speed/Dexterity refers to this creature's attack speed since its obvious he cannot move from his spot. 5/10 intelligence gives this one a fighting tactics, instead of just a lumbering beast driven by instincts. 10/10 Defense meant you absolutely cannot one-shot this guy, and 10/10 offense will clearly put a dent on average defenses. its abilities will be revealed as the RP progresses. Take note, El Higante's Saliva is not deadly nor is it offensive. Its just like those things in monster movies where people get drenched with gooey and yucky stuff. Comic relief, at least.. :D

 

 

El Higante cracked its knuckles as all of its four eyes stared at Captain Iyusaka. "Fresh Meat! I am Arrancar Numero 76, and Zasalamel-dono has sent me to obliterate the South Gate!" It roared, sending another torrent of saliva towards the lone captain.

 

---------------------------------------

 

Zasalamel noticed a red-haired captain appeared before him, addressing him rather interestingly. He smiled through his bandaged face, his collar still zipped up, covering half his face, from his neck towards his nose. His white overcoat that covers his entire body sways at the gentle breeze that caresses his body.

 

"Ah, you're new. I expected as much. I am Zasalamel Toreador, Arrancar Extraordinaire," Zasalamel bowed courteously, eyeing Sousuke with interest, "I came to say hi. Or would you rather we fight?"

 

He flicked his wrist and a small-window sized Garganta appeared, a pale-head appearing from it.

 

"Sven, I'm taking the Western Gate, and my El Higante will take the South Gate. Go wherever you want," Zasalamel turned towards Sousuke, "I've got my dancing partner here."

 

As the Garganta closed, Zasalamel faced Sousuke completely, eyeing him with interest.

 

"Your move, shinigami."

[Hollow Ichigo!]

[spoiler=OOC]

Are we using getei kai jo

 

 

 

"Right away sir".

Said Jackel in a confident tone It seemed to him it was easy from hear out. His favorite pastime anyway was kicking ass.

"Now might I have permission for.....well it might be to risky wouldnt want my spiritual pressure to be too noticeable".

That evening jackel was out all night searching and hunting down captains. Until he came about another beserke.

"Damn not now I am busy." Jackel said as if the beserker was going to reason with him. "Alright." He lunged in a swift chop and realized he was doing the same thing last time. Under estimating. Backing off and getting in guard he thought that maybe he could use the one move he had been saving no it wasnt the time.

[namelessk]

"Hello Zasalamel." Ganz said, noticing the Garganta opened in front of Sven. "Yes I saw. The shinigami are capable enough, but I would like to see how they handle tougher opponents. I want to see how they react to different situations." Ganz said. The ability to quickly react and shift one's plan when the first fails can help to decide the winner. Let us see how well the shinigami shift their pieces around. "I wasn't hidden. I like to be alone when I am thinking. I can only achieve that when no one can see me." Ganz said to Sven in response to his question. When Sven asked him if he wanted him to begin causing his own chaos, Ganz stared at him for some time before responding, "I would like that. It would help move my pieces further along the board." Ganz said. Ganz then turned around and began walking away. "I may send help later." Ganz said as he walked off. His body then began fading from his legs up as he walked, and soon he was gone completely. "Please do not fail me." his voice echoed around Sven.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Fui stood at the back of the warehouse, staring blankly into the air as if he was thinking hard about something. My plan cannot fail me. I have wasted too much time on it for it to fail. He reached into his trench coat pocket and pulled out the mask which was there. He stared at it for some time before putting it back within his pocket. I hope that Baldur has accomplished the task that I have given him. Fui then looked up and his eyes immediately began scanning the room. He was looking for someone. "Kasaka. Asaka. I have a mission for you." Fui called out. A slight wind then passed over Fui and quickly died. As soon as the wind was gone, two dark figures appeared before him from out of the shadows it seemed. "Yes-" the shadowy figure on the left began. "Master Moritaka?" the fiigure on the right finished.

 

"I have something special that I would like you to do for me. "'Checkup' on Seireitei. Shake them up a bit." Fui said with a slight smirk on his face.

 

The two figures turned towards one another and back at Fui, signaling that they understood what he meant. The two figures then stepped back and were gone with the same gentle breeze as before.

 

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]]Hollow Ichigo, watch your posts. Post it in paragraph format. Don't add spaces in between if it's only one sentence. Sorry, but I don't want this thread getting shut down.

 

Note: Also, tomorrow will be my last day that I will be able to post on this thread for some time because I will be leaving to Europe for 9 days on Wednesday. I won't have any internet connection there because I'll be charged international rates on my phone and we were told not to bring our laptops on the trip. I have given Ryuujinn directions on how to continue the plot during my absence, and I will be having a friend of mine RP as the Captain-Commander while I'm gone as well. His name is Satsujun. I hope that you all continue on this thread while I'm gone. I don't want it to die when I have so many ideas to keep it going and keep it interesting.

 

[.:Blu:.]

As Iyusaka continued his watch over the South Gate, an immense spiritual pressure covered the area. "Uh! What's this?! An enemy?!" Iyusaka said to himself as he felt the weight of the spiritual pressure pushing down on him. Then all of the sudden a humongous hollow burst from the ground and sent a torrent of saliva at Iyusaka while he was talking. Iyusaka then wiped the saliva off of himself and began to talk to the giant hollow.

 

"So Arrancar Numero 76 huh?" Iyusaka said as he gave a friendly smile towards the arrancar. "Wow, you're pretty big, I'm surprise you haven't collapse on yourself yet." Iyusaka said as he losens his grip on his zanpakuto. "Anyways, I'm not going to lie, your spiritual pressure is pretty immense. As a matter of fact, I can feel it weighing down on my shoulders as we're speaking." Iyusaka then tighten his grip again. "But, I can tell you're revealing your spiritual pressure's limit." proclaimed Iyusaka.

 

"You're trying to intimidate me with your spiritual pressure aren't you? {Sigh} Too bad your plan isn't working........" Iyusaka then stopped his smiling and talked in a serious tone. "I am a captain for a reason you know......... I rarely lose to a hollow." Iyusaka then disappeared and reappeared on top of the gate, and unsheathe his zanpakuto. "Well, I'm sorry about this, but it looks like I'm going to have to kill you........"

[Hollow Ichigo!]

Sensing the massive spirtual pressure near what seemed to be the south gate Jackel needed to focus. After one second had passed Jackel thought of 8 different combos that would surely kill this beast. "Okay Big Fat and Ugly, this is how this is going to work I am going to kick your ass and you will take it like my well thats not nice to say in public. Please suck on this!" Jackel said with as much hate in his voice. He executed Combo number three, which made him distract the hollow with a low level kido and attack with an air strike. After executing the hollow had a few damaged done to him. "Dammit, I..I will have to (cetches breath) try something else." Now attacking in a more diverse method he was able to get an arm off of the mighty beast before him.

[Hotaru987]

In the Seireitei, close to the Kuchiki Manor, a Senkaimon was opened up, revealing five Shinigamis, bathed in a bright light, exiting. "Man that mission took longer than I though." The only female in the group said, her hands folded behind her head in a relaxing mannor. Her midnight blue hair was held by two small white Kensaikans, on either side of her head. "I guess that's what we get for underestimating the enemy." Once the light, and door, was gone, the one that was speaking was revealed to be a captain. Her white Hori trailing just behind her. She turned half-way to address the four shinigami behind her. "You all can go back to our quarters. I'll take care of the paper work."

 

"Yes Captain Kuchiki." Was the unison reply, before they all shunpo away.

 

Once they were gone a frown found her face. Something had happened here while she was gone. She could feel it; the left over Reitsu from her fellow Court Guard, and from...Hollows? Her brow knitted in light confusion. It felt like Hollows but strangely different. I'm just going to have to get caught up from one of the other captains. She thought. Right now the thing bothering her was the Spiritual Pressure coming from the direction of the South Gate.

 

"What on earth is going on?" She whispered, about to head off in that direction, when a Hell Butterfly came into her line of view. Her icy blue eyes followed the butterfly's movements as she held out her hand in order to recieve the message.

 

"See Captain Jukenjiro." She whispered to herself as if in comformation. The black butterfly then flew off once the message was passed. With one last worried look towards the direction of the South Gate, she used Shunpo to find Yomi. When she finally found him, he was walking seeming to be in thought.

 

 

She stopped right in the way of his path, wearing a wide grin. "Captain Sayori Kuchiki, of Squad 6 reporting for breifing." Sayori said giving him a two fingered salute.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

"Very well," he said to the Primera and Zasalamel. It was a simple answer to both of their questions since they had asked a simple question. He closed out the garganta that he had opened to view Seireitei. "I guess I shall go enjoy myself now that I have been told to go into some action," he said with a sigh. Sven opened a semi-large garganta and walked through it. He suppressed his Reiatsu as he walked onto the Northern Gate out of a garganta. The gargantas closed after he completed his travel and he looked at the gate in disgust. "They always try to stop me from having my fun," he said with a sigh. He then began to walk up to the gate like it wasn't a bother to him.

[Hollow Ichigo!]

After futile attempts Jackel just kept getting knocked on his but. "Wow this is fun." he thought to himself. He got up again and said "I meant to do that suck on this BANKAI!" His icy wings cooled the air so much so it started to snow where he was. Thinking he could now defeat him he used a special combo. "If the others wouldnt work how about this!" Jackel through a large icy block at the beserker and inside the block was ice needles. The block blew up on it and many ice needles stabbed him. "You see this is all part of the plan. The ice that is in you hollow are essentially frozen poison. In a way you were going to die from the begining, but I spared you for this long. So now I stand here before you (ice shards melted inside hollow) with Hyorinmaru as my witness. This is the last time I let a hollow battle get this far!" The ice went into the the hollow at a fast pace, it soon got to the heart and froze it solid. Jackel stabbed with great force and the frozen hollow heart came out the other side on the tip of his blade. Hollows are easy its all how you destroy them Jackel thought aloud. He countinued on his mission. The next one to be briefed on the list was Captain Kuchiki.

[ryuujinn]

[spoiler=[b]OOC[/b]]

Hollow Ichigo: Jackel is supposed to be up North, in the Northern Gates. But oh well.. I'll be introducing another opponent then.. since you're at the south gate suddenly.. and your post #109 is void.. You can't just kill an NPC you just fought like that. and he's not JUST any hollow. He's a numeros. You didn't even let the battle develop.. >.<.. please refrain from doing that..

 

@namelessk: I've gotcha covered, man.. I'll try to keep the thread running until you get back.. :D

 

 

El Higante brushed off the attack made by Jackel, his organic substance filling in on the arm, regenerating it completely. The severed arm that fell turned into an organic liquid, merging with him again.

 

"What do you expect with that level of attack, worm?" El Higante laughed. His laughter boomed heartily as he mocked Jackel's attack.

 

As he finished, another massive hand emerged from the ground. It looked similar to El Higante, but instead of rotting, it looked metallic. It emerged the same way El Higante did, also the same size, but this time, its face is filled with a single, intensely black eye. It gazed around and saw Iyusaka and Jackel, flexing its massive, metallic arms to show a huge number 75 tattooed across both arms.

 

"Brother, Zasalamel-dono sent me to the Northern Gate, but Sven-sama is already going there. I felt a huge spike in reiatsu here," He stared at Jackel and Iyusaka, "It must be these two puny people! I'll get that one, brother!"

 

The metallic arrancar pointed at Iyusaka with its big index finger. El Higante nodded, then flings a flesh-like substance at his brother. As the fleshy substance hit the metallic hollow, his size quickly shrunk into the same size as Iyusaka. His body is still metallic, from head to toe, and his singular black eye gazed towards the shinigami captain with malice.

 

[spoiler=[b]Cyclops[/b]]

Offense: 7/10

Defense: 9/10

Strength: 7/10

Speed/Dexterity: 10/10

Intelligence: 8/10

Cero: 5/10

Reiatsu: 8/10

Total: 54/70

 

Note**: Cyclops can fire Ceros at par with an adjucha, way above a gillian level Cero, but definitely below a vasto lorde. His 10/10 speed can match a captain's shunpo, and an espada's sonido (without releasing). 8/10 intelligence gives this guy the ability to formulate cunning strategies and traps. 8/10 reiatsu meant that he's no immune to massive spiritual pressure, but can resist it to an extent. 9/10 defense meant that he's pretty durable. Unlike his brother El Higante, this guy is very nimble. His appearance is naked, but his body is covered in metallic substance, much like the Hormigas. He only has one eye, and a mouth. no nose.

 

 

 

"I am Cyclops, shinigami captain," Cyclops introduced himself, facing Captain Iyusaka, "I want us to be friends. Friends in despair!"

 

As he ended his sentence, he drew from his chest, a long, metallic-silver zanpakutou. It gleamed under the moonlight, giving it the impression of being a metal. Cyclops' metallic lips curved into a thin smile.

 

"May we start?"

 

--------------------------------------------

 

Meanwhile, Yomi found his path blocked off by a familiar female shinigami. He stared closely and saw that it was none other than Captain Sayori Kuchiki of the 6th Division. He relaxed as he found out the identity of the person in front of him.

 

"Ah, Captain Kuchiki. Just in time. The meeting just finished and we are being dispatched by Raizou, the Chamber 46 Spokesperson, to the gates surrounding Seireitei," Yomi reported, then stared at the direction of the South Gate, "Seems someone disobeyed the order. Can you please check the North Gate? Raizou-dono would be very angry if he finds it unguarded later. If you find any hollow or arrancar, try to hold them off. I'll be informing the other divisions for now. I'll back you up if necessary."

 

Yomi saluted the female captain, then proceeded to the other Division's barracks. He somehow felt another strange reiatsu heading towards the northern gate. I sure hope that reiatsu's not what I think it was. He thought to himself.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

Back at the Southern Gate, El Higante roared loudly again, facing Jackel. He squinted an eye towards Iyusaka, but started to focus on the captain in front of him.

 

"So, you're an ice user huh? You've met your worse match, boy," El Higante shifted his weight, the lifted his left arm. He flexed his fingers for a while, then suddenly, a burst of needle-like projectiles erupted from hit fingers, homing towards Jackel, "My body can produce any type of organic projectile, not to mention, I'm hot enough to melt your ice cubes!"

 

The needles tip burst into blue flames, steadily cruising towards Jackel.

[Hotaru987]

Sayori nodded her head quickly processing the information. She was confused on what Chamber 46 was, and who Raizou was, since she hadn't ever heard of either one....But if Yomi was following his orders then he must be someone real important. "Alright, if I need help I'll fire Hado 31 in the air." She couldn't help but smile when Yomi saluted to her.

 

"Bye Capt!"

 

She quickly Shunpo'd to the Northern Gate, landing at the top so she could have a better view around. "Who's this?" She whispered, tilting her head to the side. There was a guy walking up to the gate apparently not fazed that it was an entrance to the Seireitei, with many powerful Shinigami. Sayori couldn't sence much Reiatsu from him so he couldn't be that strong. Unless he's suppressing his power. Either way he's not a shinigami so he's not allowed here.

 

She hopped down landing in front of the gate blocking this new commer. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she finally got a good look at the stranger. The first thing she noticing was the hollow hole on his left side. That was all she need before going on the offensive. "What are you doing here, Arrancar?" Sayori gently gripped Monoroki, preparing for anything. "Answer me!"

[.:Abarai Renji:.]

[spoiler=OOC]Sorreh I am late! I had SO much stuff to do! Am I still in the RP?

 

 

Nato had immidiently taken off to the Eastern Gate as he had received the orders of protecting it. He had known that the Hollow threat may had looked like a fluke, but it was dead serious. That was probably just the "warm-up" forces. They'll send more, powerful Hollows... if not Arrancars as well. he thought lowly as he Shunpo'd quickly towards the East Gate. "I just hope that this is the last time we'll see the Hormigas." he said to himself as he arrived.

 

The moment he arrived, he sensed a powerful Reiatsu spike up at the Southern Gate. "What the?! What is that... strong Reiatsu?" he said to himself. The Reiatsu mass was far bigger than any Shinigami Captain, and it seemed to overwhelm him. Nato knew it was just a temporary boost of Reiatsu, which would dampen soon, but the mere power from that boost was... gigantic. "I hope that whoever is at the Southern Gate is... ok."

[Damiano Tosē]

[spoiler=Ryuujinn's Post]Zasalamel noticed a red-haired captain appeared before him, addressing him rather interestingly. He smiled through his bandaged face, his collar still zipped up, covering half his face, from his neck towards his nose. His white overcoat that covers his entire body sways at the gentle breeze that caresses his body.

 

"Ah, you're new. I expected as much. I am Zasalamel Toreador, Arrancar Extraordinaire," Zasalamel bowed courteously, eyeing Sousuke with interest, "I came to say hi. Or would you rather we fight?"

 

He flicked his wrist and a small-window sized Garganta appeared, a pale-head appearing from it.

 

"Sven, I'm taking the Western Gate, and my El Higante will take the South Gate. Go wherever you want," Zasalamel turned towards Sousuke, "I've got my dancing partner here."

 

As the Garganta closed, Zasalamel faced Sousuke completely, eyeing him with interest.

 

"Your move, shinigami."

 

 

Sousuke said as he took out his wakizashi zanpaktou, Shugotenshi. Sousuke then visciously flared his spiritual energy and released his reiatsu. His reiatsu was the color of his hair, blood red with a hint of black. He may be small, but he was a menace toward anybody that got in his way and he would not hesitate to kill them in a quick second. With his power, it made him faster, stronger, more agile and more quicker then others.

 

Sousuke said eyeing Zasalamel. Sousuke then matched his reiatsu with Zasalamel's and it appeared that both were evenly match.

 

The small captain said with his head tilt.

 

Achiha Sousuke vs. Zasalamel Toreador, a fight against high level authorities, Let the swords speak for themselves. Sousuke thought to himself.

[.:Blu:.]

Iyusaka looked on, focusing his attention on Cyclops and then smiling. "Well, friends in despair huh?" Iyusaka said jokingly. "I'm sorry, but I have others to fill that position. However, you could be a good sparing partner." Iyusaka proclaimed as he closes his eyes. "Funny thing, a moment ago your spiritual pressure was weighing down heavily on me, but now, well it seems I have gotten use to it." Iyusaka said as he put his zanpakuto on his side.

 

"Or, could it be that you've just gotten weaker?" Iyusaka said sarcastically as he put his hand on his chin. "Well, whatever the case may be, in the end, I'll still have to do my job as a captain and kill you." Iyusaka said as he reopened his eyes. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Cpt. Yusuke Iyusaka of the Gotei 13's 5th Division." Iyusaka then held up his hand and pointed his palm at Cyclops. "Hado 4, Byakurai!" As Iyusaka said the hado, a concentrated, powerful lightning bolt shot out of Iyusaka's palm and headed towards Cyclops.

@Abarai Renji: Don't worry, I set it up so that even though you can't post for a while, you'd still be in the story line.. :D.. And no, you're not yet late. In fact, you're about to get your own opponent right now.. :)

------------------------------

Alright everyone, seeing as this will be a PvP style scenario until the Captain Commander arrives, let me clarify a few things. First, you're not allowed to say that you killed your opponent and this is an absolute rule. Unless your opponent PM-ed me (for PCs) that they want to die, or I decided that he/she dies (for NPCs), you cannot say in your post that they are dead, or that you stabbed them through their heart or whatever it is you're thinking of brutally doing.

 

Second. For Captains with NPC opponents, PLEASE let the battle develop, instead of saying "I use Hiryugekizokushintenraiho! I obliterated [insert NPC name here]" No, this won't do, and I will consider this GOD MODDING. NPC hollows/Arrancars may lose an arm or take a critical hit, that much is granted, but let the battle develop.

 

Lastly. For Captains and Arrancars/Espada fighting PCs (Playable Characters), declare your moves in your post, describe them, and don't just say "I shoot Byakurai and it hit [insert PC/NPC name here] in the head" That won't do, and I will void your post if you do that. The fighting will be turn based (also true for PC vs NPC), therefore, you are only allowed to counter-post after your opponent has posted. To determine how hard a technique hits, look up the stats. If you have DEF>OFF by a difference of 5, the attack does very little effect, a difference of 1-4 means the attack will cause scathing damage, and if DEF=OFF, the attack will cause normal damage. SPD/DEX will come to factor how fast each characters move. If you have greater SPD/DEX than your opponent, that means you have an advantage in movement, and your opponent cannot match you in terms of speed (but it doesn't mean your opponent can't do anything, like hit you with Kido or Zanpakutou abilities).

 

Final Note: POST YOUR STATS ON YOUR POSTS STARTING NOW. IT WILL BE A BASIS ON HOW WELL YOU CAN MATCH YOUR OPPONENTS.

Zasalamel laughed hard at Sousuke's remarks. He always wanted to see a captain's fighting style first hand. The earlier battles he orchestrated were mere prologue to what he really wanted. And now, a captain stands in front of him, ready to battle.

 

"My. I wouldn't really want to destroy this district. It reminds me of my human days," Zasalamel stared back at the ruined district, "How about I make you a deal? You don't use Bankai, and I will not use my secret technique. Deal?"

 

From inside his bandaged face, Zasalamel's eyes stared at the captain. He wasn't lying about not wanting to destroy the district, but most of all, he did not want to reveal to Seireitei his strongest abilities, not yet. He eyed Sousuke with curiosity, waiting for his answer.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

Meanwhile, at the Southern Gate, Cyclops palmed the Kido released by Iyusaka. The energy from the Kido travelled from his palm, to his arms, and finally to his body, dispersing it to the space around him. His mouth curved into a thin smile, mocking Iyusaka.

 

"I forgot to mention, El Capitan, but Zasalamel-dono modified my body to resist Kido attacks. I'm afraid you will have to fight me on my own terms," Cyclops held out his sword, pointing it directly at Iyusaka, "Melee combat."

 

As he finished his statement, he used sonido to disappear from his position, gingerly landing behind Iyusaka. As he landed, he pivoted on his heel, aiming a piercing strike towards Iyusaka's gut.

 

"I wonder how you taste like, El Capitan?" He said as he continues his attack.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

At the Eastern Gate, the sky directly above Captain Nato suddenly ripped apart, tearing wide as a Garganta opened. From within the black void of the Garganta, a figure dropped down, hitting the ground with such force that it caused the ground to tremble violently, causing ripples of earth to travel outward from the point of impact.

 

As the smoke cleared, an Arrancar wearing a black hood stood in the middle of the crater. His body is wrapped in bandages, and a large number 12 is tattooed on his torso. From within the hood, a glowing pair of yellow eyes stared straight at Captain Nato, as if staring directly at his soul. The scythe he carries is enormous, with the blade as tall as Captain Nato itself, and the handle as tall as the Arrancar. The blade glowed an ominous red under the moonlight, mist forming around the handle base.

 

[spoiler=[b]Muertos Grande[/b]]

Skills:

Offense: 10/10

Defense: 10/10

Strength: 10/10

Speed/Dexterity: 10/10

Intelligence: 8/10

Cero: 2/10

Note**: Muertos Grande can fire Cero at par of a gillian. His stats are above average, signifying his rank as a high ranking numeros. Abilities will be revealed as the RP progresses.

 

 

"Are you one of Seireitei's guardian? I am ordered by Zasalamel-dono to tear down that gate behind you," Muertos Grande said mistily, then he pointed his scythe at Captain Nato, "I am Muertos Grande, and if you dare get in my way, your head is mine!"

 

A crackle of energy emanated from the scythe's tip, as if provoking Captain Nato to attack.

[.:Blu:.]

As the kido hit Cyclops, it dispersed throughout his body. Surprised at what just happened, Cyclops explained the reason for it. Much to his surprise, Iyusaka began to rethink his strategy. "(So it seems this particular hollow was modified....... Damn, this is going to make things a little tougher to handle....... If I can't fight with kido, then melee combat is my only choice.)" Iyusaka thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head.

 

"Well, Cyclops, was it? It seems that you're tougher than I orginally calculated. It seems-" Just then Iyusaka was interrupted when Cyclops disappeared and reappeared behind Iyusaka. Cyclops then aim strait for Iyusaka's gut region with extremely quick speed. In a fraction of a second, Cyclops' zanpakuto almost reached Iyusaka if not for Iyusaka's zanpakuto blocking the attack. Iyusaka then counter attacked, but Cyclops sonido'd a few meters back.

 

Iyusaka then dusted his clothes and regain his calm composture. "Well, that was an unexpected surprise, Cyclops." Iyusaka said as he gave a friendly smile. "You interrupted me there for a second. Now as I was saying, it seems I'll have to reconsider my methods on how to deal with you. Due to your blinding quick speed and reaction, this will be a tough challenge." Iyusaka said as his tone became more serious. "But like I said before........ I'm a captain for a reason." Iyusaka proclaimed as he disappeared and reappeared behind Cyclops and swung his zanpakuto towards Cyclops' throat.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the second division, a Senkaimon appeared. As the dimensional gateway opened up, a single jet-black butterfly fluttered out of the light emitting from the opening and out stepped a single shinigami. "I'M FINISHED!!" said shinigami exclaimed, bolting out of the gate with great gusto an heading towards the his room, but before he could get there, he felt a great release of reiatsu. "What the...?" He muttered to himself, skidding to a stop and turning on his heel. "I've got to see what's up!" he exclaimed, blasting off in the direction of the spiritual pressure he'd just felt, but then he realized something. 'Wait, it'd be smarter to go to Yomi-san instead to figure out the whole situation, he realized, planting his foot in the ground as he changed directions yet again, this time heading to where he felt Yomi's spiritual pressure. Finally finding him walking casually towards another division, he landed with his hands in his pockets.

 

"Oi!" He exclaimed happily, throwing up is right hand to the side of his forehead in salute in mock seriousness, though it wasn't very believable with that goofy smirk on his face. "Jun Fon, Captain of Squad 2, ready for briefing, sir!"

[ryuujinn]

Cyclops reacted a little too late, causing Iyusaka's zanpakutou to sink deep to his throat. He gasped as he moved away, leaving a trail of liquid metal substance on the captain's zanpakutou, and some on the ground below. He quickly covered his wound with his hands, coughing rather terribly. Suddenly, he vanished from his spot, using Sonido to get to the space above Captain Iyusaka.

 

"You're quick, El Capitan. If I didn't get my throat covered in liquid metal, I would've been seriously injured." Cyclops gasped, drawing another sword from his chest.

 

He pointed the tip of the sword towards Captain Iyusaka, smiling rather thinly as he holds his throat with his left hand. A metallic colored energy condensed at the tip, growing bigger and bigger.

 

"Get a load of this, El Capitan. Cero!" He shouted, releasing a metallic colored Cero towards Iyusaka. "Evade that!"

 

Cyclops landed on his feet, coughing as he watched his Cero go towards Captain Iyusaka.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Back at Seireitei, Reinhardt suddenly appeared out of nowhere, emerging from an unoccupied house near the 6th Division barracks. He glanced left and right, trying to see what sort of patrols are out. To his disappointment, he saw only three shinigamis, all of which looked unseated.

 

"Hey boss, they look weak. Lets kill them." A rough, edgy voiced out from his whip.

 

"Yeah boss, let's smack them to death!" said a softer, female voice.

 

Reinhardt shook his head as he walked towards the trio of shinigamis. As he neared them, one of the shinigamis noticed him.

 

"What are you doing here, boy? You're an intruder are you?" the shinigami said, drawing out his katana. The other two did the same, and they encircled Reinhardt, pointing their blades at him. Reinhardt shook his head as he stretched out both his arms.

 

"Bilden Sie Zuerst" He muttered to himself in an emotionless tone.

 

Suddenly, a wave of blue and and red aura covered his arm, emanating a deadly glow. In a split second, the three shinigamis lie frozen, their body burning encased inside a cage of ice. Reinhardt casually walked away, his arms back to normal.

 

"Boss, one of our own is someplace north. Let's go?" the rowdy, edgy male voice said.

 

Reinhardt nodded, moving towards the location of the other Bount. He was surprised to see Baldur standing in shinigami clothing, looking rather alert.

 

"Baldur." Reinhardt greeted, landing right beside him, "You seem to be having fun here. And the shinigami seemed to be busy outside. Let's sink some buildings."

 

Reinhardt's comment was followed by him producing an ice-cream cone in his left hand. The cone was then filled with a green-colored ice topped with chocolate syrup, which he licked almost immediately. He stared at Baldur, waiting for an answer.

 

---------------------------------------------

 

Yomi was once again surprised as he saw another familiar face. He couldn't exactly help but forget who it was but when the figure introduced himself, he finally remembered. He gave a two-fingered salute at the newly arriving captain.

 

"Good evening, Captain Jun Fon. You're arrival is timely," Yomi brushed the dirt off his haori before continuing, "Chamber 46 just ordered us to guard the gates of Seireitei. From what I can surmise, and from the reiatsu surges from the South and Easter Gates, I assume we're being attacked by hollows as we speak. If it's not trouble, would you please go to the Eastern Gate and see what Captain Nato is doing. I sensed something dense over there just now."

 

Yomi gave a courteous bow towards Jun Fon, before stepping away to proceed to the other division barracks.

[Allesk]

Baldur saw Reinhardt and tilted his head. "Hmm, sounds like it could be some fun." Baldur gripped his shinigami outfit and tore it off revealing his normal attire. "Guess I don't need to be wearing that now that my message was delivered." he said. The ring on his finger suddenly became a hilt in his right hand. The eclectic designs glowing softly. "Lets paint this town red." Baldur pointed the hilt towards a building and a 20 meter blade shot out of it quickly as Baldur sliced the building in half vertically he hit a lot of support beams causing the sides created from the slice to fall appart in opposite directions of each other. The blade the retracted and Baldur ran through the seireitei leveling about 3 more buildings by slicing them horizontally. Attempting to catch the attention of the shinigami.
