Dancing with Hollows

Jushiro was now back in Soul Society, the Garagunta opening suggested only one thing to the on lookers. Many innocent by-standards may fall victim to what was about to happen. Jushiro took note of yet another change in Nevada tan. Something which intrigued him very much, a tail managed to sprout, the signal of yet another troublesome thing. Cero's were fired, yet none of them hit the Captain as he exited the Garagunta. He was now standing twenty feet away from the entrance of the Garagunta and to the left of it. Compared to Hueco Mundo, Soul Society's sun was still shining bright. The sun was the ruling light for now, unlike Hueco Mundo where the moon had managed to conquer. Now that Nevada-tan decided to toy around with things such as Ceros, Jushiro decided to play along. Sound based energy began accumulating in his free hand, awaiting the creature to surface.

He wouldn't kill the child, more or less subdue her so that she may be studied at a later date. The Captain has a meeting to attend to after all, so there wasn't anytime to waste in this place. "Come on you beasty, you now have the chance to get revenge on me. Thats if you could even manage to do so". The Captain formed a grin on his face while waiting for Nevada the cyborg child to run rampant.

And the garganta would be silent for a second, before for hands would clutch, none of them human anymore, all quite firmly hollow, pushing at the edges of the black maw, widening it for a beast to come through. And it would come through indeed, the girls body now changed, nearly half of it giving form to some large beast, her head and her left arm still the same, but growing out of her body were now six extra limbs, two were the wing like things, four were new arms. She'd pull herself through the throat, slowly, As if getting used to the body.

You bastard. This body is nowhere near as glorious as the body you destroyed.

With a roar, it'd fly into the air, reiryoku forming wings betwixt the feathery spikes, Hands charging energy, before all four would let off several bursts of it, in a manner similar to bala.

A grotesque thing started emerging from the Garagunta. And judging by the state of Nevada, the hollow taking over her body was progressing at a rapid rate. It appeared as if Nevada had somehow fused with this Hollow. But for some reason, there was a struggle going on. That was perfectly natural no? Nevada-Tan may have been exposed and even had her own Reiatsu from before a certain incident. But even the Hollow's Reiatsu was proving to be the dominant force. This must be what the Vizards feel like, alas, a new idea had popped into Jushiro's head. The Captain knew that something had to be done about Nevada now. The fact that he was trying his best not to kill her also made things a little difficult too.

It always more difficult to stop yourself from killing, than it actually is to kill. Unfortunately for Nevada, Jushiro wasn't so kind, a shame really, the Junibantai Taicho so happen to be a merciless and cunning man. The fox grin on his face is testament of that. Now what should be done about Nevada? "Fascinating, you are capable of speaking. Hallelujer, now I know for certain that I'm not taking to some entirely dumb ass creature". As the hybrid form of Nevada's took to the skies, Jushiro's arm went forward, the energy that he'd been gathering was now at its peak. The Captain soon played a soothing tune with his blade. With precise control over his abilities, Izanagi was able to silence the gathered energy. And in fact let the sound of a chime and a tune be heard by the beast.

The energy that Izanagi charged up tore through the skies, and within moments they collided with Nevada's fierce instruments that she used to attack. Or rather that thing used to attack the Captain. Izanagi wasn't yet quite sure what to make of the beast, none of that mattered now. The attack that was launched by the creature was nullified. A soothing tune kept on playing, as Izanagi's right hand shot forward which held his blade. The Garagunta had now closed, but that wasn't the important thing here. Izanagi's blade refined into an extended version of his Zanapakuto, using sound based energy of course. And with terrifying speed it moved to cut off the wings of the creature. Izanagi was admittedly toying around with the creature. "Conitnuing like this will be a pain in the ass. I don't want to kill it yet, and I have no intention of taking it easy. This damn creature needs to learn its proper place. Now ain't that funny?"

The eyes of the Captain kept a close eye on the movements of the creature. His spiritual pressure acting as fingers to pluck the strings of the Sanshin. The melody, the graceful hymn, hallelujer the song was sung, and is still being sung.

And so the beasts attacks where thwarted, a movement dodging anything that might have been thrown at it, whether or not something was coming didn't matter, since it didn't care. It's mouth would open up, roaring at the captain, two sets of teeth seen within the darkness, as it moved forward, sound meeting it halfway, gliding over the hard edges of it's wings, nicking but not slicing through, instead letting the beast go right on towards the captain, Before it would collide with the ground, clawed hands aimed at the captain's flesh, a giant cloud of dust erupting from the point at which the captain stood.

Alas, the katana of sound had hit its intended target, but quite surprisingly it didn't do the Job. Was Jushiro taking it a little too easy on Nevada? A grin was still on the face of the Captain as the beast roared. Nevada or the "thing" descended from above, aiming its clawed hands at the Shinigami. And as it came crashing down, Izanagi hopped backwards and out of its reach. Dust rose in that instance and from within this dust a silhouette of Nevada stood. Jushiro scratched the back of his head with his free hand. While the blade that held his weapon kept playing the same tune. A wonderful and soothing tune, a lullaby to tame the beast. It was now only a matter of time before the beast would be calm. The smoke cleared or the dust rather, and as the wind blew. Jushiro cocked his head to the right and sighed. "Good grief, you are quite the boring one. I made you into what you are via unscrupulous means. And I thinks its safe to say you have now accepted it. This aint good. I thought you'd be a lot scarier, guess I was wrong". Jushiro spoke the truth, he was in fact disappointed by what he had seen so far. Nevada is still lacking and needs some prepping up.

The beasts attack would fail, ground cratering under it's strength, white threads under one of it's claws. The captain was fast, and it wasn't..yet. Some music went through the area, and It couldn't help but listen, but to hear it. It's anger subsided, but it pushes it back up. I would be fearsome were it not for your damn invention! And there, the true source of rage, the subversion of power, containment of strength. Indeed, with every second the pressure emitted by the hollow was increasing, evidence of the slowly spreading cracks in the orb. Lifting it's hand, a Cero would charge, a black one now, before launching itself with frightening speed. If it hit, it'd deal quite a bit of damage. If it didn't, it'd still deal quite a bit of damage, leaving a hole in quite a good amount of things behind the captain.

The provocation brought on by the cunning one had worked. The creature inside of Nevada was now raging, and judging by its tone, it was quite the angry beast. The spiritual pressure of the beast rose, there was now a drastic change. A change so drastic that the hand that was on the back of Jushiro's head changed its position. This hand was now made for defense. "You must really be pissed off. I never thought a failed experiment would get so rowdy. Nevertheless I don't expect much from an imbecile like you". With the rising of the Reiatsu from the creature. Jushiro knew that the Gotei 13 will now be paying attention. Not only that, but others might get involved in this little spar. Jushiro vanished and appeared some distance away from the beast. Standing too close and he was in danger of being destroyed. This was based on the feeling that he got from the sudden rise in spiritual pressure.

The assumptions of the Captain had proven to be correct. As the beast raised its hand and a black Cero was being charge. Izanagi snapped into action, his left hand shot forward. Kido based energy generated swiftly and the words "Hado 88, hiryugekizokushintenraiho" were spoken by the Captain. Things had escalated much to the Captains appreciation too. Creature Nevada released the Cero and the Kido blast was released. Jushiro knew very well that once both forces collided with each other. An huge explosion would proceed afterwards. And yet again he was correct as the Kido and the Cero collided with each other. Jushiro was sent flying, before being thrown like a rag doll. The Captain crashed into the side of some weird shack.

As of this moment he had no idea what had happened to Nevada. She was still alive, but how much alive, he was still not certain of yet. The Captain gripped onto his Zanapakuto, yes, it was still in his hand. Debris from the explosion rose high into the skies, a cloud of dust and blazing madness consumed a portion of the area. Izanagi himself was at a safe distance, but what happened earlier was still too close for comfort. The Captain released a demonic chuckle which turned into an high pitch laughter. The kind of laughter that normally comes from a mad scientist. pieces of wood laid on top of Izanagi, the man was almost motionless. The crazy and psychotic laughter filled the area. Then there was silence, the laughter had seized. Rubble and broken pieces of wood shifted, the sound energy clearing away the rubble around him.

The body of the man rose from the ground like an animated puppet. Easing himself up one step at a time, bones cracking, though none were broken. A groan was heard as blood trickled down the left side of his head. The Captain began panting for a few seconds, before inhaling and exhaling. By doing this he was able to get his breathing under control. Izanagi had been fighting for a while now. From Hueco Mundo to Soul Society non stop. As the debris began subsiding, the Captain sighed, and the playful tune, the dangerous lullaby was once again played. It was best to end this thing now, or else Nevada could die accidentally.

"Good grief, you really went and kicked up a storm, didn't ya? I feel so happy now, I could just kill you". The demonic fox grin manifested on Jushiro's face again as the wind swept through the area. By now, the creature should be half asleep, and more than likely cursing the Captain once again.

Syuora just so happened to have hear this disturbance from quite a distance. Well, he didn't hear it, but the fact that an explosion of large proportions had just gone off or that he could sense a large amount of reiatsu. As he arrived in the nearby vicinity, he could see that one of the two people here was his Captain, Jushiro Izanagi, and the other was.. well.. some kind of beast. But that didn't matter to Syuora at all right now. Syuora drew his zanpakuto slowly as he let the tip of the blade rest firmly on the ground, as he leaned on the hilt in a rather lazy fashion. Syuora looked with his red and green eyes over at Jushiro as he couldn't help but notice that a sweet tune was filling the air. He knew that stuff had been going down here for a bit.

"I finally found you, Captain. You sure are a tricky man to find, no?" Syuora looked at the beast that stood opposite of Jushiro, his interest peaked somewhat."Would you like to assist with this creature? Surely you would rather be dissecting this poor thing then fighting it"

Syuora continued to lean on his blade as the somewhat white blade of the ninjato gleamed in the sun. He really was looking forward to testing his abilities today..

((Syoura, your entrance may or may not be voided by what I do in my post.))

The black energy charging in it's hand would shoot forward, even as the captain countered, a shout being heard, a kidou, with a rather high number, the effect being a large blast of blue lightning, heading straight towards the black cero, the two colliding, immense energies pushing against one another, but neither would relent, and neither would survive. Both would detonate, a massive explosion, sending out energy and debris into a wide area, completely obscuring the view, and leveling a good amount of structure.

The beast would not be thrown by the explosion, it's claws dug into the ground, but it would be sent skidding, and then the slab of ground it's holding onto would dislodge, flipping over, landing ontop of the beast before it is shattered by another cero, one which continues high up into the sky. The beast would then stand, more smoke kicked up by it's newest cero, before in rage, it would send out another pair. It'd miss all but some minor shinigami, only serving to kick up more of this infernal dust. A roar, primal and angry, would sound, a counter point to the infernal tune ringing through the air.

That infernal tune, it couldn't stop focusing on it, what was it, why was it still playing, why was it so...pervasive. It couldn't help but focus on it, distracting it from it's anger, music soothing the savage beasty, wait no, it can't be soothed, it's anger must go on, but something was tugging it down, a nap might nice, Arggh! It'd roar once more, but a quieter sound, piercing the fading dust, before finally a little girl would assert her childish dominance over the savage beast, aided by the captain's rurraby, her body shifting back to the shape it once possessed, and should always possess. As the dust would finally settle, the captain, and perhaps a new friend, would see a girl, not a beast, sitting atop a shattered piece of stone.

She would appear mostly normal, her sclera no longer yellow, her teeth not possessing a second row behind them, and decidedly no hollow mask to be seen upon her body. Another thing that was not seen on her body, or at least seen in far smaller concentrations, was fabric. The sweater she had once been wearing was now torn to bits almost, only the neck area, hood, left sleeve, and a bit of shreds of fabric on the left side remaining. Her skirt was surprisingly intact, but any shoes she might have once had are most certainly gone. Her knees would be splayed to either side as she yawned, rubbing her eyes before noticing one person, most likely ignoring any other people who might be in the area.

"Kitojisan!" Her voice would carry the weight of sleepiness as she coalesced what little enthusiasm made it past the power of the captain's ability, forming it into a childish greeting of a man she liked for whatever reason, god knows he hadn't provided her with many good ones, not that she thought that, to him, he was a big ole fat special old man.

The Captain kept a grin on his face, shifting his weight a little, left leg tapping the surface beneath his feet. Izanagi kept a close eye on the beast as the lullaby took effect. The regression from unholy beast to the innocent child occurred rather quickly. The Shinigami was grateful to say the least. Had this carry on any longer, Jushiro would have had to get a little rowdy. A sigh of relief escaped the Captain's lips. He then decided to seal his Zanapakuto, and it was at that moment that someone new appeared before him. Izanagi wasn't quite sure who this person was. "If I required your assistance, I wouldn't be much of a Captain now, would I? In any case, please identify yourself, I can't say I remember meeting you at any point".

Izanagi wasn't trying to be rude, but this new person before him was a mystery. Did he meet this Shinigami somewhere and had forgotten? The Captain started walking, but only after taking a good look at this new guy. The man hadn't even introduced himself properly. Shinigami these days seem to be lacking in manners. Izanagi was now heading in the direction of Nevada-Tan. The little girl was looking ragged with clothes torn to pieces at certain points. Left, right, left and a Shunpo was performed, this time taking pass Nevada. The hilt of his weapon would hit the back of the little girl's neck. And as one can imagine, it would be lights out for her. Should this action prove to be successful, the Captain would gather little Nevada-Tan and head off with her.

But before that, he needed to see what this new person before him was all about. "Hey you over there. What did I miss while I was away? I received a message about a rather important meeting. Did something happen that has caused a uproar in the Seireitei?".

Syuora watched the captain as he had brought the beast to sleep. What interested him more was why a child would take such a form. Syuora watched as the captain had successfully incapacitated the child, as Syuora continued to watch on with boredom.

"My name is Syuora Sattoutaki, one of your seated officers. I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway. I just thought someone like you wouldn't want to waste his time."

The captain also wondered what was going on while he was away. Syuora sighed. He didn't know anything about what was going on right now. He was too lazy to keep an ear to the rest of the Gotei.

"I'm sorry to say this, but I haven't been paying attention to anything that has been happening recently. I have been busy gathering specimens, live or dead for research, so I don't really have the time. Once again I apologize for this as well." Syuora continued to watch him as he yawned a little. It seemed as if the captain had nothing to do for him, as he pondered why he made the trip out here..

Returning from his personal space in Rukongai, Shinichi the ridiculously young lieutenant appeared on the scene. He had rested a little on the way so he was back to his usual peppy self. Heading back towards the twelfth division's barracks he stumbled upon his Captain; a seated officer known as Sattoutaki and some... she-beast? He had felt the spiritual pressure from a distance and decided to come. It'd been a while since he had seen his Captain so upon feeling his presence Shinichi took this little detour.

Looking at the devastated scene from a fair distance tucked away Shinichi whispered to himself.

"Bakudo no Niju-roku, Kyakko...".

Any trace of his suppressed spiritual pressure vanished and he faded from sight. The kido specialist lieutenant took this opportunity a moment later to use a flash step high into the air around twenty metres, flying upwards from the left side of the she-creature now normal. He turned his head towards his Captain as he flashed forwards, Shinichi just about made out the hilt of the blade extend in the path of. He may as well add an assist, as Izanagi moved forwards as he met the point directly above her.

"Fushibi...".

A series of orange tendrils appeared around the ragged female, above, behind and to the left and right leaving only a small space, the space his Captain was coming from. No point in hiding so Shinichi materialised instantly after his kido was used.

And thus the captain's move succeeded, picking up the now unconcious girl, blah blah blah. You think I'm going to put effort into a post where I'm unconcious?

Captain Posts : 226 Points : 189 Join date : 2010-08-14

((Poor excuse for such a weak ass post. Admins should at least try to stick to the minimum))

IC:

The hilt of the Captain's weapon struck the back of Nevada's neck. And as a result the little girl was knocked unconscious. But was that a good idea? There is also the possibility of the creature resurfacing again. The Captain with the fox grin kept a close eye on Nevada as he began falling forward. The hand of the Captain soon extended and held onto the remaining material of Nevada's sweater. "Steady" the Shinigami uttered, but before peace could hope to be still. There was an interference in the area. Tendrils, orange tendrils to be precise materialized around Nevada. Who is the imbecile that decided the Captain required any assistance? "Tsk, how troublesome". Izanagi said under his breath before hissing at the newcomer on the scene.

An officer from his division already offered to help, and Izanagi declined. So again, what made this person think the Captain needed help? The path that was left opened for the Captain was used for an escape. And as a result, Izanagi performed a graceful and well executed Shunpo. The man came back into view, now safe from the tendrils with Nevada-Tan over his shoulder. His Kodachi was still in his hands, crimson eyes staring at the man who decided to show himself. "Oh lawd, if it isn't my good ol Fuku Taicho. I can tell you have no respect at all. We will be having words about this intrusion at some point. But please seized all movements, and steer away from your intentions. I have just arrived in Soul Society ya see. I've been on an expedition to Hueco Mundo. And so I am tired and a little cranky".

What good could come of Izanagi's words to the two men in the area? The Captain began walking towards Syuora, yes the man had introduced himself. And although Izanagi pretended not to have heard, the Captain made a mental note of what was said. "Fascinating. This here is a research project of mine. A truly interesting one too,I'm sure you can at least understand why. Now then Fuku-Taicho of the Junibantai. Have you any idea what I have missed out on while I was away?". Izanagi was trying his best to catch up on what was happening. As the Captain neared Syuora, he turned over Nevada-Tan to him. The Captain didn't have to say anything, but from the nod given. Syuora, should at least know that Nevada were to be taken to the 12th Division headquarters. Jushiro was planning on utilizing Nevada as a weapon. He would have to conduct a bit more research before such a thing could be possible. This was also a great opportunity for Syuora and Shinichi the wonder boy to indulge themselves a little.

Syuora watched Jushiro walk towards him as he also took note of the fuku taicho's appearance. Syuora continued to look on as Syuora was then handed the child. Blinking a bit, he sheathed his sword on his back as he held the small child gently, not trying to make any sudden movements. He knew what to do with the child as he usually was sent to gather specimens. He was glad this task was somewhat easy, but a rather boring one. Syuora started to walk off as he looked back at the Captain, smiling some.

"Nice meeting you.."

He then looked over to the lieutenant, who had almost attacked the child. He didn't know his name, but he seemed like a nice fellow. Reckless, but kind. Syuora nodded to the lieutenent as he lifted the child onto his shoulder, easily holding the weight.

Syuora turned around again as he took a few more steps, as he shunpo'd his way towards the 12th Division Headquarters with the child in hand.

{Exit with Nevada}

Not much to say, the girl was swapped between two men, perhaps as some sort of slave, who knew. She was then carried, up up and away.

Shinichi landed in a neat bundle just to the right of the now unconscious girl, dispelling his kido in his descent as to not get caught in his own net. Simple stuff. Izanagi held the girl now and the mini crisis was now averted, though it would have regardless of whether he had came or not. He straightened up, raising a hand in greeting to both his captain and the seated officer with a casual "hey".

Shinichi grinned at the bothered look of his captain. He knew what was most likely coming next; a lecture on keeping out of fights of his.

"Tsk, how troublesome"

The confirmation came with the words.

"Oh lawd, if it isn't my good ol Fuku Taicho. I can tell you have no respect at all. We will be having words about this intrusion at some point. But please seized all movements, and steer away from your intentions. I have just arrived in Soul Society ya see. I've been on an expedition to Hueco Mundo. And so I am tired and a little cranky".

Shinichi grinned up at his captain, raising his hands, feinting ignorance deliberately jokingly. He looked at the girl in his hand for moment; what was she exactly? Certainly not a hollow, she looked like a normal human. Thoughts aside Shinichi responded. "Ah captain, captain. You get so worked up about things. I was watching from afar for a while. Only reason I intervened was because most likely like you I'd like to study this girl asap". Shinichi long had been awakened to the joys of the research of various experiments, though he was lacking the mad touch he certainly was equally eager.

"Fascinating. This here is a research project of mine. A truly interesting one too,I'm sure you can at least understand why. Now then Fuku-Taicho of the Junibantai. Have you any idea what I have missed out on while I was away"?

At this his face fell a little. Information seemed rather sparse, at least in his direction. "Unfortunately, I cannot say much. Recently I've been out of the loop. It's quite frustrating. However, terrible news. The S.R.D.I. has been largely destroyed in an incident that occurred, however we have a partially unscathed lab area.".

Anyhow the girl was handed to Syuora, to carry back so it seemed prudent to move on.

"Well I'll go on ahead and prepare a capsule where we can conduct a reiatsu and bioanalysis on her. Should be interesting to see what's under that skin... Not literally of course"!

Shinichi watched Syuora exit, he raised a hand in parting and disappeared off too heading towards the infamous laboratory.

Exit

(OOC: I just would like to say that I find it amazing that neither the Lieutenant nor the Third seat of the twelfth division has heard nothing of the S.R.D.I. being blown to shit.)

Captain Posts : 226 Points : 189 Join date : 2010-08-14

The exchange was made and after a nod from his captain, Syuora was now gone. The man was most likely heading for the 12th Division, as he should be. Only one more of his troublesome division members remained. Shinichi, the Fuku Taicho. Jushiro felt as if he has been ignoring his division members. He couldn't quite tell when was the last they trained or worked on a project together. It is now high time for Jushiro to start paying attention to his subordinates. Little Nevada-Tan should prove to be an interesting research subject for them.

The Captain had his hand on his chin as Shinichi gave his report. And after hearing that there was an incident involving the SRDI. Jushiro began thinking about the reason why he was called away from his mission. Could this urgent message to return have something to do with it. A grin appeared on the Captain's face. This little incident could be worth investigating further. Jushiro also felt the need to go and see the Sotaicho. The commander would be pleased to know, that Jushiro had returned and in style too. Causing a little bit of devastation at one of the gates, was all in a days work.

Jushiro turned away as Shinichi left the scene, pondering on what action to take. Just what happened? Perhaps the surveillance cameras should provide a bit of information? A truly exciting scenario it has turned out to be. "Goodness me. Its time for me to go and see what has happened while I was away. I will have to whip my subordinates into shape it seems". The Captain soon vanished using the art of Shunpo. The Captain was uncertain of destination, as such he will make his mind up in a few seconds. Nothing like a well executed Shyunpo to clear the air.

[Exit]

OOC: (I have to say that you completely missed out on an interesting exercise, Tadashii. If you can make a post where you are knocked unconscious, interesting, you will find that you can do all sorts of other things. It's a tool of the trade, to describe seemingly boring scenes. You may be surprised at what you can do with such a scene. Play with words. Heh. Just saying. And yes, I have no business posting this probably useless post in here, but I also have no business adhering to rules that limit intellectually valuable material from being put into words and shared with the masses.)
