Bleach: Re- History and Birth [NOT Accepting/Started] {PG-16}

[fenrir]

Raizou sighed, shifting his hat slightly to view this Shinigami. "I'm sorry? I have no idea what you're talking about." Strange. He had done a fine job of hiding his reitsu, how was this guy able to find him? Whatever, if he was going to persist then he would have to face the consequences. Raizou lifted himself, scratching his back and stretching almost absentmindedly. He had lifted up his case from the ground, his hand on the blunt end of his nodachi. He was waiting for his opponent to move. The first strike mattered the most, if he would attack, then the battle would be set in his favor.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven put his arms behind his back in a calm and unthreatening fashion. Then he walked out just past his house to face the shinigami. "What threat am I to you, when I've been living out here on my own for so long. You should go before some creature hurts you," Sven stated. Then he brought his arms down to his side and stood with his feet at shoulder length apart. He was ready in case the shinigami lunged at him, which would be his intent from what he had just called out to Sven.

OOC: Sorry for the wait, I wanted the others to post >_> Also, Andx, I need you to allow the men into the Soul Society.

Hibiki took the Bala straight into the chest, not having time to block the blasts. He fell back into the sand, relatively injured and winded. [i]"Impossible!"[/i], the leader of the group thought, [i]"No Decrassion have been shown to be able to use Hollow Powers in their human forms! How can this one use Bala without going Full Hollow?! Maybe... this might make things more fun!"[/i]. Hibiki stood quickly, and stared straight at Serket. "Oh ho, boy! That was a shocker, but a fun one! Let's try this again!" He charged at Serket, Lance straightforward, and laughed madly as he used a Flash step to get him about a yard away from Serket.

Nel arrived at Hibiki's side in the same moment he arrived before Serket. She stabbed her lance into his side, catching him completely off guard. He was now bleeding a lot, and called off his attack. "Heh... never expected that..." He ran his hand along the wound, and saw the blood, smiling in an evil manner as he did. "Let's try this then!" Hibiki raised his hands, and as he did, the weapons in his hands turned back into the shield. He grasped the sides of his head, and pulled down, making his mask appear. His mask was Blank at first, but quickly became the look of a Goat's skull. His eyes were now red, and his sclera were black. "Let's try this again!" He spoke in his distorted voice as his two weapons reformed.

Ayame did not move, being visible to Armand in the 5 foot diameter bubble in the center, where the darkness was not so thick. She did not flinch as he hit her in the face with his claws. The odd thing was that the moment he should have pierced her, he did, but now how he expected. He went right through her body, and appeared on the other side. She did not waste a moment, and Brought her sword up rather swiftly, bringing it down so that it would hit him square in the back.

[center]-----[/center]

Aya shook her head once more. "Seriously, I feel bad for you. That is, if all you can do is that attack." Aya did not move, seemingly awaiting Ralis to come to her. [i]"He does not know what my power can do, but surely he hears Ayame fighting that other guy. Maybe that will give him a hint... I hope so. A reason to leave would be GRAND."[/i]

Ralis used a Sonido to close the gap between himself and Aya, having a similar thought to Armand's about the girl's speed. He brought Sendotou down on her head, only to meet her blade, which she had moved as quick as lightning. "Ah, ah, ah," She taunted, "I'm not that slow." She brought the blade down, and stabbed it through Ralis' stomach before he had time to react. "This is my power.... apparently you don't have this kind of power." She grabbed him by the neck, and ripped the sword out, before throwing him forward. "Get up. You are a fighter for the queen of Hollows, you should be stronger."

Ralis tried to stand, and fell to his knees coughing for a moment. The wound that Aya had inflicted had only done damage that he could live through, as long as excessive blood loss did not set in. "So... you think I'm weak? You love light, I can tell. I had hoped to avoid this... but it seems I cannot wait any longer. Bankai." Sendotou sprouted black wings near the topw, which dissipated into pitch black smoke that covered the area around Ralis.

[center]-----[/center]

Kaede used Flash step to avoid Junichiro's blast. "Oh, I thought you meant to leave me unscathed? No matter, I just think differently. however, the forest would agree with me, over you. Do you wish to see? So I cannot use my whip, no matter." She grabbed the handle once more, and chuckled. "Can you stop me from unleashing my Bankai? I would think not." As she spoke, vines came out of the ground, and formed a pod around her body, making her weapon dissolve, except for the handle, which attacked to the pod. The vines began moving in a fashion resembling an amoeba, before it opened up like a spiral flower. Kaede now had a dress on, made completely of vines. Her shoulders each had a rose on them, giving her the appearance of a general. Attached to the roses was a long flowing cape, made of petals from all different flowers. Finally, the whip was back, but it now had many more roses blooming on it, as well as being covered in thorns. "This is my power, Vizard. Nature." She moved her hand as if conducting, and a root came out of the ground next to Junichiro, shooting towards his head.

[center]-----[/center]

Junko just stared at Raizou, not moving or saying a word for a moment. Finally, he spoke. "Make your move. If you don't move now, the fight will be no fun at all. Now, come at me, if you will. I can do it either way, but I want to have fun with this." He drew his sword, and stood stoicly.

[center]-----[/center]

Hoshi cocked his head at the Vizard. "Time to die, scum. You Vizards are such abominations. How could you become a Hollow?! To dust, Sogekihoshi!" The katan transformed into a flail, with a small ball. The chain was about one and a half feet long, and the handle was about a foot long. He lifted the new weapon, and slammed it into the ground beside him. The dirt it hit immediately started to glow with a bright blue light, and he lifted the mace again. As he did, the glowing dirt floated into the air around the ball, and was spinning around it, almost orbiting. "Attack!" The dirt shot away from the mace, at high speeds, towards Sven.

[Umbra]

Junichiro shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Shinigami. I will not be able to fulfill my promise."
He quickly flash-stepped to the side, skillfully avoiding the root.
"There is one thing you don't understand about power, Shinigami. You can call it whatever you want, but this thing you call a 'Bankai' is not unstoppable. Just take a look."
He nodded at the edge of the halberd, which had a tiny fragment of something else attached to the blade. It was nothing less than a piece of Dokubara's whip, still remaining in its Shikai state.
"You see, Shinigami? This is power." [i]Ketuseki, Danryokusei, I summon you.[/i]

Without movement or sound, a mask materialized over the top of Junichiro's face, stretching across his head until it reached the back. The eyes were nothing more than two pitch-black holes, two dark-green eyes circling inside them. The shape of the halberd changed, with the tip splitting into three separate prongs - a trident. The whip piece was still firmly attached to the middle prong.
[font="Impact"]"Do you see, Shinigami? This is power.[i]Ketuseki no Danryokusei. Mori no Gachi.[/i]"[/font]

[Andx]

The three shinigami assigned to the mission of being on standby should something happen in the forest, Byakuya moved away from the subject. Not much else was going on at the moment so the group had to wonder what else the captain commander might want.
"Well, that's all. The three assigned, be ready should you be called. As of this moment I have no other news I must bring to your attention. You're all excused, as I'm sure there are more festivities awaiting our new captain and his friends." Byakuya said. With that said the doors to the meeting hall were opened and the captains and lieutenants began slowly moving out of the room. A hell butterfly came down next to Byakuya to relay information from the edges of Rukongai.

At the gates of Rukongai a group of men had appeared claiming to bear news from the king of Soul Society. It was an unorthodox way of showing up but the king never did do things in any sort of pattern. The fact that he was even sending men was odd. The lower members of the first squad on duty at the edge of town had quickly sent a hell butterfly to Byakuya to relay the information and seek his approval or denial of their request. Before long a butterfly from Byakuya arrived which allowed said to allow them entrance.
"You're free to enter. Captain Commander Kuchiki says you are to report directly to him however, no wasting time." one of the men on duty said to Alberich and his men.

Byakuya prepared one more hell butterfly though who he could be sending it to no one could know other than Byakuya. It's intended target was Hayate, a vizard. It's message was simple:
[i]"We need to talk. However there is another matter I would like your assistance in before that. Meet me outside the gates of the Seireitei to handle some potentially unwelcome visitors."[/i] The butterfly flew off to deliver its message to Hayate. Byakuya himself then left the meeting room though the three he had assigned the mission to and some others were still present. That raised some suspicions as Byakuya was always the last to leave the room. It made the shinigami still present wonder what was going on.

[center]--------[/center]

Armand was slightly alarmed as his attacked moved straight through his opponent as opposed to cutting up her face as he had intended it would. He was now in no position to attack again or to defend the attack now coming in to hit his back. Right as the sword was to come down on Armand's back the sound of moving water could be heard as a large circular shield appeared behind Armand, blocking the attack. Armand then regained his balance and stance and faced his opponent. Water could be seen flowing from his left set of claws. The shield then fell back to the ground as water droplets.
"Hunter's shield." Armand said softly. Armand then took note of what he'd seen of Ralis's fight with the other girl with a similar power. Though his attention was mostly grabbed by Ralis activating bankai. The girl with the light weapon hadn't bothered to guard an energy attack yet blocked Ralis' attempt to hit her with his zanpakuto. With his opponent, she hadn't moved to guard his physical attack.
[i]"Light and dark are opposites of each other. Perhaps the same holds true for these odd zanpkautos. If my opponent can guard physical strikes and the other girl can guard energy strikes, then my opponent should fall to an elemental attack!"[/i] Armand thought.
"Hunter's Strike!" Armand called out as he swung his right claws at Ayame. From each of the four blades a blast of wind had erupted and now taking blade form they were headed at Ayame.

[PrimalFear]

Hayate was now just on the outskirts of the rukongai district when he reseved a hell butterfly, "Hmmm this should be interesting!" Hayate let the butterfly land on his shoulder and whisper the message into his ear.

"We need to talk. However there is another matter I would like your assistance in before that. Meet me outside the gates of the Seireitei to handle some potentially unwelcome visitors." Then the Hell butterfly dissapeared from the area. "As I said this sounds interesting seems my comrade hunting will have to wait for now." Hayate started to walk away with a slight grin on his face, "Something the head Captain needs to discuss with me and also to meet him outside the gates to Seireitei to deal with some potentially unwelcomed guests. Seems the Captain still has some respect for my fighting abilities." Hayate began to move at a quicker speed through the rukongai district when he was roughly 1000 yards away from the gate he figured it be best to conceal his presence.

"Bakudo number twenty six Kyokko," now that his presence was completely hidden he moved in towards the gate using his flash steps. Once reaching the Gate he saw a few people he had never seen before standing at the Gate. He decided to enter the Seireitei from the top using his flash steps then wait for Byakuya to show up. Once over the top he began flash stepping off to the side farther away from the gate so that these men wouldn't see him, from their he would be able to meet up with Byakuya before engaging in anything before hand.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Basq, not feeling that he needed to be there any longer, took his leave from the meeting hall and started walking towards his barracks. "I should get back, my lieutenant will need a full briefing of the meeting, as well as another healing session." Basq said, and then hurried on his well. [i]Still, I wonder why Byakuya was in such a rush to leave...just busy I guess...[/i] Basq thought and then entered his barracks where his lieutenant was laying down, in a comma, and virtually with almost no signs of life. "Hello, Leyla..." He said, sitting down. "Your illness is still a mystery to me but I'll never stop trying to cure you..." Basq said, and made his hands glow green with kido, but then Basq forced more energy to flow, turning his kido into a darker more sinister green. He covered Leyla's body in it and then meditated on the healing process. "We had a captains meeting today..." Basq commenced telling Leyla the day's events, even though she's been unconscious for two months now he still treats her like his old lieutenant...

ooc: The whole lieutenant thing is just a little sub-plot I decided to start so it's very unimportant.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven jumped and rolled to the side, dodging the dirt unknowing what would happen if it hit him. If it was one thing he had learned, it wasn't to get hit by an opponent who stayed at a distance away. "You call me an adomination and yet you attack without reason. you are the abomination," he stated as he got up. Then he ran at the Shinigami with his arms just slightly behind him. Sven got within 2 feet of the shinigami and did a small jump while spinning, attempting to kick his shin into the Shinigami's head. However the first foot was only meant to force the Shinigami to block or dodge it, while his second foot was meant to land the hit if the block or dodge were to be set as his momentum and movement would cause his body to continue the motion no matter which way the Shinigami went. Sven knew how to fight, especially barehanded.

((Sorry this is so late))

Kaede laughed at her opponent. "You think you've got me? How about you learn what [i]my[/i] power truly is!" Kaede snapped, and that fragment of Dokubara exploded with growth, consuming the halberd with rose and thorn covered wood. "Now, do you feel it, Vizard? Hm? I am stealing your Reiatsu as we speak, and my does that excess amount help it." She let a wicked smile cover her face as she spoke. "Oh, and it gets better. You already saw I can control nature, so let's show a bit more, hm?" The ground all around Junichiro erupted with the roots from all of the trees, and the branches shot at him from the sky. "SCATTER!" She yelled, and all the leaves on the trees were suddenly free and flying in the air, obscuring vision in the area. "Now, Vizard, you will die!"

[center]------[/center]

The smoke seemed to spin around for a moment, before a shockwwave from Ralis made it calm down, and settle. Ralis stared out from underneath the hood of his cloak, now coating him. It was tattered around the wrists, and the bottom of it. If one looked, Ralis' feet could have been seen. Sendotou seemed to be the same as before. His hood covered his face, removing his eyes from sight to anyone looking at them. He was still bleeding, and that would cause issues. "Now, I'm going to kill you. I can't afford to waste any more time." Ralis moved his scythe in front of him, in both hands, and began spinning it around, blade going to the left. "Hanteikai!" When Ralis announced his strongest technique, the same smoke that had been made when he released Bankai appeared, but this time it filled a large area. All noise within the area was silenced, and all visibility was reduced to zero, except for up to five feet from anyone inside of it, except Ralis. As the Smoke got to Aya, he made his move. He instantly appeared behind her, and moved to remove her head, and he was surprised to find Aya's blade blocking him, and a guttural noise being emitted from her. At a closer look, she had her Hollow Mask on, resembling an oriental dragon, and her eyes seemed to be gone, but were, in reality, Black irises with her pupil and black sclera.. She just breathed at Ralis for a moment, before moving to stab him in the head. However, Ralis blocked the attack this time. "I'm a lot faster now, miss. You'll have to try harder!" He said, as he shot back into the smoke.

[center]------[/center]

Ayame was gone from where Armand's attack would hit, before it was released. When Armand would have looked, she was behind him, wearing an oriental tiger Hollow Mask. She held her hand forward, and began to charge. "CERO!" The energy around her finger was a mixture of black and white Reiatsu, and fired almost instantly. She saw the blast hit something, and saw the large explosion, making her shoot back about 30 feet in order to avoid it. [i]"I still sense him... where is he?[/i] She thought about Armand.

[center]------[/center]

Hoshi moved quickly, looking like he was going to block the hit, but instead hit the dirt. Before Sven's first hit made its mark, the very dirt he had dodged had formed a shield to block the hit, and took it with resounding endurance. The newly hit dirt floated into the air, and coated Hoshi's arm, shining the whole time. He raised his arm, and took the second hit without flinching in the least, before the very dit on his arm crawled off of him, onto Sven. it all happened in an instant, and the activated dirt was as light as air. Hoshi repulsed Sven and came at him with his flail in the air, and his left arm coated in the first batch of dirt, forming a blade off of his wrist. "You are the one who took Hollow powers, trash. I'm just doing my job."

[center]------[/center]

Alberich nodded to the Shinigami who spoke to him. "Thank you very much. We will follow his orders." Alberich and his group walked through the Rukongai, ignoring everyone as they did. "You guys know what we're here for." He said as they walked, and his two subordinates nodded. "Alright then, let's go." As they walked thorugh, and got to the Seireitei, they saw their objective. "Move on my mark, understand?"

[Blake]

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven landed on his feet and knelt a bit to give himself more leverage for the next strike. He noticed the layer of dirt now on his body and wondered just what it was meant for. However before he could do anything Hoshi was coming at him, so he had to act fast. "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!" Sven called out as he jumped backwards to dodge the incoming flail. Hoshi would have jumped right into Sven's kido and getting caught in the paralyzsis. To be sure that Hoshi was stuck he performed a second Bakudo to be sure. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!" he called out. With that, 6 beams of light struck down onto Hoshi to pin him in place. "How about this Shinigami. You leave me alone and I won't kill you. Deal?" Sven purposed resting his hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto.

[Umbra]

((That is, quite literally, not how it works. Danryokusei's ability is literally designed to prevent what you just did. That is not how you do it.))

Junichiro smiled.
"[font=Impact] You think you have an advantage, Shinigami? Well, you are mistaken. This battle is indeed over, but it is I who has won. My Bankai's ability is to adjust the radius of the maintained zone of resilience, controlling a volume of up to a five-meter radius circle. Ever since I released my ability, I have sent strings of that zone throughout your body, impaling you in over five-hundred different places. For you, Shinigami, I have chosen the death that will cause the least bloodshed. [b]Ketuseki no Danryokusei[/b]. Your spiritual body will now be torn apart by your own reiatsu, and you have no way of stopping it. It is too late. Goodbye, Shinigami.[/font]"

[fenrir]

Kaizou smirked. "It's not my thing but... So be it," he drew his Zanpakuto, "Threaten, Yuugure no Raijin." The already long nodachi grew slightly longer and thicker, The once clean steel was now a dark black blade. Spikes appeared from the blade, one row on the bottom, another on the top. "I honestly hope I don't have to use my Bankai for this fight, the forest here is beautiful. I wouldn't want to mess that up." Kaizou pointed his Zanpakuto towards Junko, a coy grin on his face. The spikes on the blade whirred, and began to spin. It was slow as of now, but Kaizou would be sure to change that. He flash stepped behind Junko and slashed at him, waiting on his reaction. As soon as he moved, he would counter. Kaizou wanted to see what he was made of.

[Blake]

((Oh, crap... sorry, Umbra, I was a bit rushed at the time, between Shadius needing me in an RP, and War RP pressure)) ((Where the devil is Proto? >_>))

Kaede's eyes widened in disbelief. She'd been foiled before she'd even had a chance to use her true ability. At least she would not die that day. "Sorry, Vizard, but the Captain Commander did not want any deaths, so I'll be seeing you later. I had fun, gorgeous." She said, winking an eye as red smoke erupted all around her. The smoke was void of any and all reiatsu, it seemed to be normal smoke, but when the smoke cleared, Kaede was gone, nowhere to be seen.

[center]------[/center]

Red smoke appeared in a hidden building in a quieter part of Hueco Mundo where Kaede had initially come from. "I'm back, boss!" She called out to another part of the building. A woman walked down, from the staircase behind Kaede, and spoke. "So, you're the first to return. What did you learn about the Vizard and his weapon?" Kaede gave that same sly smile and spoke. "Well, Vera, I learned..."

[center]------[/center]

Hoshi gave Sven a big grin as he offered his deal. "Well, well, look who the big monster is. Let me put it like this- CRUSH!" The dirt on Sven's leg immediately constricted, enough to crush Sven's leg into nothing, but before it would finish destroying the leg, Red smoke erupted around Hoshi, and he was gone, also returning to Hueco Mundo. As the smoke had faded, his voice could be heard. "No death for this Shinigami this day, Demon. Ahahaha!"

[center]------[/center]

Hoshi also appeared in the building, appearing right beside Kaede as she was speaking. "Hello, Vera. Hello my lovely rose." Hoshi said, acting completely different when he was with his wife, than when he was with an enemy. He gave Kaede a hug and a kiss, which she reciprocated. "Glad to see you got back safely, dear." He said with a smile, before he spoke to Vera. "Vera, I'll give you a report later. For now, We are gonna go rest." Kaede seconded what he said, and they walked off, Hoshi's arm over Kaede's shoulders.

"Strike within your frost, Younin no Haji" Junko released his blade as Kaizou appeared, and his blade was blocking the slash. The Zanpakuto had become a swallow, a double bladed staff, one blade on each end. facing opposite directions. The handle was a crystalline blue, and white mist was now covering the area. Anyone remotely close to Junko would feel a heat drop, that was steadly lowering. "Nice." He said, eyeing his opponent's weapon, before he Flash stepped away. Junko charged with his blade forward, or so it seemed. The mist made it look like he was going for a stab, but he was actually go ing for an uppercut with the weapon.

Byakuya was aware of a familiar presence, or rather the sensation with that presence, nearby. Whenever Hayate came near he often used a kido spell to hide his presence. Only those who were really looking for him could find his presence in the first place so Byakuya knew he was around when he felt the power all at once disappear. Byakuya still calmly moved through the Seireitei until he was outside. Then using one or two very precise flashsteps he was near Hayate. Hayate had picked a nice location, not on any main entrance.
"Thank you for coming. I know you're busy trying to find the other vizards but I felt some assistance may be required in this current situation. There is a group of shinigami coming this way claiming to carry news from the king of Soul Society. This shouldn't seem suspicious except that the king has in all my time as captain commander never wanted anything of me perhaps other than a report or two on major occurrences. I will meet this group by the main gate to the Seireitei, I would like you to remain hidden. Should they attack, I don't think I need to tell you what you should do." Byakuya said. He was glad to have a powerful ally in Hayate. There was a chance these men were actually members of the king's guard but still bore malignant intentions. In that case Byakuya did not want any captain other than himself to be punished for opposing them. And that's why Hayate, no longer formally a captain, was the ideal person to help in this potential fight. Byakuya then flashed stepped off the the gate in front of the Seireitei that the group would most likely approach if they went in a straight line from their point of entry.

Ayame's cero held great power to it and before long the smoke created appeared. Armand was standing, but obviously injured. The left half of his body seemed mostly undamaged. It seemed he had tried to get a shield in place but had only managed to protect the side of his body closest to the source of the water. The right side of his body was now somewhat burned and battered from taking the cero head on.
[i]"That mask. Her powers are great with it in place and this is only her shikai she's utilizing with it. Ralis has his bankai active. Should I follow that course of action? Even if I can overwhelm her like she is now with my bankai, she still has hers I'm sure. I shouldn't force things. She can't hold that mask forever. I'll have to survive until it shatters."[/i] Armand thought. Armand was breathing a bit heavier now, no doubt from the injuries he'd taken from the cero. But he wasn't going to let that slow him down. The wind picked up around his right claw and at once he disappeared with a flashstep to reappear in front of Ayame. He then slashed his right blades at her.
"Cyclone Hold!" he called out as he slashed at her. Even if she dodged the attack she'd find herself immobilized if she wasn't able to shake the wind that would soon be following her.

Hayate had hidden quite well and only a select few people would have understood the hidden meaning of him hiding his spiritual pressure. That was just the case where as within minutes he noticed the Captain Commander Byakuya Kuchiki advance to his position. Hayate readied himself for anything, not knowing exactly what the Captain Commander meant by his message it was best if Hayate stayed alert.

“Thank you for coming. I know you’re busy trying to find the other Vizards but I felt some assistance may be required in this current situation.” Hayate looked on as Byakuya finished explaining things, “There is a group of Shinigami coming this way claiming to carry news from the king of Soul Society.” At this Hayate was quite intrigued, “This shouldn't seem suspicious except that the king has in all my time as captain commander never wanted anything of me perhaps other than a report or two on major occurrences.”

Hayate shook his head at what he had heard, “Are you telling me that there is a possibility that the King has contacted you through others before. I never new that!!” Hayate stood up from his crouching position and met the Captain Commander eye to eye. “I will meet this group by the main gate to the Seireitei,” Byakuya stated, “I would like you to remain hidden; should they attack, I don't think I need to tell you what you should do."

Once Byakuya finished with relaying the current problems he turned to Flash step away. “You know I wont hesitate if something happens don’t you, that’s why you chose me. Or was it the fact that if it really was the kings guard you didn’t want to put one of your own at risk?” But as Hayate finish what he was saying the Captain Commander was all ready gone.

Hayate decided to follow the Commanders advice and stay hidden and well alert for a possible attack. Hayate moved quite fast now using his flash steps to conceal his movements from the outskirts of Seireitei to the main gate that Byakuya just spoke of. Their he hid in a tree that stood quite tall and with a great amount of foliage that provided good cover. Hayate slowly and quietly moved a branch in front of his face out of the way giving him a direct line of sight to the main gate. Their he remained calm placing one hand behind him on his sword that lay a crossed his back and scouted his quickest route to attack any intruders who might pose a problem for the Captain Commander.

Junichiro stood still as the red smoke succumbed to Ketuseki, the air before him clearing in a matter of moments. The Shinigami shouldn't have been able to escape the ability completely unharmed; while she didn't show any physical evidence, she must've sustained some internal injuries. Without a word, the mask at the top of his head vanished, and the giant trident transformed in a flash of light, returning to the sealed katana form.
"It's just like you were saying, Danryokusei, Ketuseki. The winds of war are blowing. For us, who are on neither side, but merely victims of the undertow, what does fate have in store?"

It took his inner hollow only a few seconds to respond.
[i][font=impact]Seek out the others, Junichiro. The others who, too, have both Shinigami and Hollow power, but not just those in the forest. You must find [b]her[/b]. I believe she is key to our success. [/i][/font]
[i]I agree with him, Juni-san. You're safer with the others, and the one in the real world might even be able to train you.[/i]
Junichiro nodded.
"Maybe that is the way. I guess the saying is true. If you want peace, prepare for war."

Sven went to a knee as his leg was crushed pretty badly. As he heard the voice, he wondered what the hell was going on. He limped over to his house and put on a brace and splint onto his injured leg. It would be some time before it would return to normal, but for now he would have to work around it. Sven had no idea what was going on and he now began to wonder what was going on. "I guess it's time to start looking for any other Vizards as it seems that I may not be the only one since it was only one shinigami who came after me," Sven said to himself. He got up and walked as abnormally as it was out of his house and into the forest in search of any other Vizard.

Basq, growing bored of sitting in his captains quarters, stood up and looked down at his unconscious vice-captain. He walked over to the door and slid it open then slowly slid it shut and then walked down the stairs of his quarters. Another member of his squad came running up to him, looking happy. "Good evening sir, how ar-" Basq cut him off, not wanting to be rude but not in the mood to be talking. "I'm going for a walk around Soul Society, please understand if I do not chat right now..." Basq said, in an unusually cold tone. He walked passed the squad member, leaving him stunned in his place. Basq found himself in the center of the Soul Society and sighed as he closed his eyes and took in the crisp night air. "Something doesn't feel right...the air is to fresh, it's an omen..." Basq said and looked around, trying to sense any odd energy but came up with nothing. "Strange..." He said once and then started to walk the grounds of Soul Society once again.

[i]Crap! Please don't tell me I overslept again! Oh, I remember now... another training accident. Oh, well. I guess it can't be fixed.[/i]
Hafuki got up from the Hospital bed- he knew he was in trouble. [i]Missing a Captain's promotion! Crushing a Hell Butterfly! Unforgivable![/i] [i]Hopefully Commander-Captain Kuchiki will be merciful. [/i]Hafuki gave his usual thanks to his personal nurse (not really, though; he just saw her a lot because of his frequent accidents), grabbed his snake-decorated katana, and headed straight for Captain Basq's Headqarters.

On his way there, he began with his odd walking again. He panted as he hit the floor with his fists, instead of using his hands. [i]Ah, this training is rough, but Hebidansu is getting heavier lately. But still, I cannot use my Bankai yet. I'll need that if I am to fight that pretentious Captain of mine and -- [/i]His thought was interrupted by a crash with somebody. As he hit the floor, he looked up. "Oh, my! Sorry Captain Basq! I didn't mean to- I mean- I was just walking to see you and- I would like you to tell me if anything happened- you see, I had this Hell Butterfly in my ear, but I slapped it and didn't hear the message so...-" Hafuki decided to shut up already and wait for an answer.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Basq was walking in the peaceful night air when another lieutenant slammed into, but knocked himself over instead of Basq. "Oh? Not a problem at all Lieutenant Hafuki." Basq wasn't really in the frame of mind to speak with him but thought that filling him in on the events he'd slept through would be doable. "Well all of us Captains and Vice Captains got together to watch the new Captain...well...become a captain." Basq said and then turned from him. "Come, walk with me we can discuss more as we go through the night breeze." Basq said, starting to take a few steps and then started speaking again. "After the ceremony we were all called to an immediate captains meeting and we discussed a recent event that had been happening near parts of soul society." Basq said, reaching the end of street and was about to make a right turn when he looked back at Hafuki and smirked. "Coming?" Basq simply asked then waited for him.

It took Junichiro no more than half an hour of walk before he sensed a shift in the surrounding reiatsu. Another one of his kind was also moving in the forest, and as far as Junichiro could tell, he too had been in a fight. The waves of spiritual pressure emanating from him were uncontrolled, as if he did not care for discovery. Almost as if he wanted to be found. Junichiro had sensed another one, but that one was still wildly interfering with a Shinigami. He sighed. [i]I can't afford to stay alone any longer, even if it means war.[/i] Having homed in on a target, Junichiro abandoned the calmer walk and switched entirely to using Shunpo.

Within a few minutes, he had located the injured Vizard. The other one had not sensed him yet, but Junichiro was sure it would only be a matter of moments. He decided to make the first move.
"It is good to see you, kinsman."

[Mugendramon]

Hafuki nodded at the Captain's invitation and followed him through the 4th Squad's Grounds. "I realize you might not be in the mood for talking;" Hafuki said, taking a look at Captain Basq's expression, "but you just mentioned an 'event', didn't you, sir? What was it? It must have been serious to call for a Captain's meeting. And for it to include lieutenants is new; hasn't happened for as long as I've been one." Hafuki was now looking at something else. He could see in the distance, in the sepulchral grounds surrounding a large building close to the 6th Squad Headquarters' entrance, the tomb of his original Captain. But he dismissed his thoughts as the tomb was out of sight. He turned to the Captain once more, unaware of the presence or absence of a reply coming from him. He stated one more thing; "Where are we heading exactly, Captain? You see, I've been sensing odd shapes and strengths of Reiatsu coming from somewhere in [i]that[/i] direction." Hafuki raised his arm and pointed towards the North-East. "I take the meeting had something to do with it?"

OOC: [i]Sorry to be writing this... only to clarify, if what I just did (sensing a far-away Reaitsu) is considered not possible for a lieutenant, tell me and I will erase it. But I just wanted to point out that his Reiatsu sensing abilities are above average.[/i]

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven stopped and leaned against a tree. He had been walking for some time, but he did not know how long exactly. Then as he felt Junichiro's reiatsu, he stood up and looked to where it was heading. Surely it was his position and so he prepared for anything, not knowing what this Vizard was like. As Junichiro walked up and began to speak, Sven felt a little more at ease. "I am glad I am not alone as I began to almost believe when I had not seen others like us for such a long time," Sven stated. He did a quick look over and noticed that he too had been in battle quite recently, but bare no wounds. [i]This guy either fended off his foe before his foe could do something or he had an opponent with a different set of abilities,[/i] he thought to himself. To make sure there would be no awkward or abnormal silence he decided to ask the obvious, "So who did you just end your fight with?"
