Western World Experience (Vizards and Shinigami)

[wanzer]

Ein coughed as he inhaled the dirty city air and walked down the cross walk, while a construction worker lazily blew cigarette smoke into his face. Ein's patience was beginning to run thin as he realized this was probably why most of the shinigami and vizards stuck to Japan. The people there were so much more polite than they were here in New York. Ein coughed again as he was rudely shoved out of the way by several passerbys. Each of them shouting profanities at him as they bumped him and ignored his choking on the stale air of the city.

"Watch it ya Gawd Dam tourist!"

"Move it or lose it pal, I ain't got time for your shit! Your in New York not some hick town!"

"Yo, am I gonna have to throw you out of the way!?"

Ein managed to get across the cross walk in one piece and sat down on a bench next to a hot dog vendor and got him to sell him a hot dog after hailing him for ten minutes. The entire populous seemed to be so wrapped in their own business that common courtesy was thrown to the wind in favor of rude behaviour that would get you killed in most places. Ein thought long and hard about the reason he was sent to New York, the council's command coming back to his mind as he bit into the hot dog, which tasted like rubber. He coughed again and spit it out asking for some relish and mustard which cost him a dollar more. His mind now free of that interruption went back to three days ago.

Ein walked down the long narrow hallway that made up the passage way to the council chamber, that formed a bottle neck so that the other Vizards could create a barrier to stop any attackers from getting to the council. He looked around at the area and made not of mirrors on each side of the walls with lights between them. Ein stopped at the center of the hallway and dusted off his pants looking toward the double doors that lead into the council's chambers. He sighed, then put on his serious face and walked through them, knocking and waiting to be told to enter before he walked through.

"Ein, thank you for coming."

"I do what I can Council."

"We know this Ein and we have a request for you. We want you to go to New York City. There has been something strange going on there lately. It seems that Vizards are coming from there and whats even more odd is that a great deal of hollow activity has been occuring there as well. We are greatly disturbed by this and we would like you to find what is causing this. We also would like you to collect any vizards that you come across and bring them back here. You already know our reasons for doing so."

Ein was stunned by the sudden request and opened his mouth to question the council, but a sudden massive burst of reitisu inside of the room silences him and he bowed going on his way as he noted two other Vizards entering behind him. He had no intention of listening to them as he got Kensei to buy him a plane ticket for New York. The flight was long and jet lag soon took hold, he thought it would be more of a leisure trip, but he soon learned that the Western world was no where near as polite as the Eastern world. Even on his first day in New York, he had twenty dollars stolen from him, had been jipped out of a meal and had an attempted mugging. Ein was about sick of the place on the second day, at which he began to pickpocket money for himself as he often felt others trying to steal from him. He was now in his third day in New York and was ready to get the hell out of the place. He had already analyzed the air several times in almost every section of the city and he came up with nothing every time. He sighed as he began climbing the Empire State building, deciding he might as well see the entire city from its roof before he looked around the rest of the city. Reaching the top he looked out and marveled at just how massive the city was and how much hustle and bustle was in it. He whistled, then out of the corner of his eye he saw it. A massive hollow...at least...the size of a football field. It was moving down around the city scape like some massive snake and Ein could see it was chasing some child. Ein ate a soul candy, then rushed down upon the hollow and as he fell he knew something was off about this entire scene, but he didn't have time to think about it, though his zanpakuto warned him.

"Ein!, you don't even know this child! It could be a trap!"

Ein would soon wish he had listened to Shintan Tsume.

The smell... New York smelled of fast food, polllution, and sex. Kaito was suppose to attend the council meeting. This made him laugh. As if he would waist his time telling some vizard to go to New York for some useless bullshit when he was already waiting there. Kaito hadnt been informed on why he was sent to america....to this god aful city. He just knew the council askd him to wait there for the other vizard and watch over him.

Kaito stood at the top of a giant building not far from the empire state building in height looking down on the city. He smirked calmly at the ground. He would love to run around destroying new york. The people here were sooo pitiful. Rude and obnoxious for no reason. Kaito's leaned back against the wall of the huge building now looking up at the sky. Such a boring scene.

Houtai was getting frustrated. Where the bloody hell is this boy Kaito?

Kaito srugged and dropped to the ground. Free falling hundreds of feet on his way to the bottom of the ground. As he landed he looked around. He didnt see anything. But what he heard disturbed him. In all his fun he never saw the giant hollow that was a few hundred feet from behind him. Was he crazy for not seeing the massive hollow? He turned around and sighed before putting his hand on his blade and letting out a word "Fuck..."

[Darkoda]

The states was a terrible place to visit.

That was the impression that Rin got after spending all of fifty seconds in the place. She was supposed to picking up the slack of the 10th Division, while they were busy with some nonsense or the other; she expected her agents to tell her exactly what they were up to when she got back. She wanted a very good reason why they needed to send a captain of all people to patrol an entire state. What a waste of time.

She did notice the oversized hollow chasing the girl, but she also noticed the two vizards in the area, and had no intention of getting mixed up with them if she could help it; she definitely would step in if they couldn't handle the giant thing, but otherwise, let them deal with it. She would remain on her perch on top the Empire state building. Binoculars were such useful tools, letting you spy on people without getting anywhere near them.

[wanzer]

Ein insued a freefall and punched the hollow down into the ground as the little girl ran faster away. He looked back and saw that she was dressed in a tiny white dress and had blonde pigtails, from her size he guessed she couldn't have been much older than five when she died. He looked down at the hollow for a moment, then jumped back in shock as it shot a cero at him. He looked closer now as his hand planted onto the ground and scrapped some dust. It wasn't wearing a mask...instead it had a human like face surrounded by a open set of jaws.

"Oh...f***....Arrancar."

There was a roar from the beast and moved to strike at Ein as it shouted in a rather high pitched voice that it must have the girl. Ein didn't know what the arrancar wanted with her, but he couldn't let it have her. He figured he could take the thing, it was huge alright easily the size of one of the smaller skyscapers. He stared up at the monster and it was odd, it had no zanpakuto, but...it just shot a cero at him so it must be some sort of Arrancar he thought...maybe its already released? Ein shook his head none of this was making sense as he rushed forward and threw a flurry of punches and kicks into the arrancar's face. Right, left, knee, uppercut. Every blow landed heavy and Ein's hands felt each impact connect, but it felt like nothing was happening. He noticed the Arrancar's face twisting in pain and every fiber of its body moving and shaking with each strike, but it didn't feel like he was getting anywhere.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

Ein finally shouted as he slammed the thing into the ground and it merely got back up, sticking its two arms onto the ground and pushing up, not a bruise was on its face. Ein stood horrified at this and looked up at the monster as it shot into the air and chased after the girl, who must have crossed over to New Jersey by now. Ein gulped as it took twenty seconds for the thing to fly completely over and gain speed its long, green and red snake like body twitching back and forth as it shot back through the air. Ein then began pursuit and wondered what the hell was going on was he that weak?

He looked down again...that girl seemed so familar to him for some reason, but he didn't know why. He sighed and thought no time to worry about it as he used shunpo to give chase and noticed several humans around looking around moving about their daily lives and wondered what it would be like to be one of them again, when he noticed a masked figure staring at him through a alley way, before shooting back into it.

Another Vizard, possibly a new one? Was his luck just that bad? Ein charged downward into the alley and ran around the corner, but noone was there when he arrived and there was no sign of any reitsu in the area. He rubbed his eyes and figured he was just hollucinating, before jumping up and chasing after the arrancar again, his body covered in goosebumps as he did and the odd feeling he was being watched. Little did Ein know that just in the window above the area he was in a pair of emerald green eyes had been watching him secretly behind a mask and the shadows of the room, before vanishing like smoke.

[Galihan]

The sights were refreshing and new compared to the usual, somewhat bland landscape of the Seireitei. It was truly a great blessing to be able to be trusted with overseeing this large area all on his own, despite being one of the fairly newest recruits into Squad Ten. Though one person would probably insist that he was being sent out of the way, the teenage shinigami who was known back in Soul Society as Takeshi knew that he wouldn't be sent on his own like this if his superiors didn't have faith in his abilities. He was also aware that there was the captain from another squad in the area as well for some reason so it wasn't like there would be any serious issues if some sort of serious conflict broke out while on this mission.

Surveying his surroundings, Takeshi looked towards the Empire State Building and felt unmissable spirit pressure of the captain from the other squad, quite fitting for a person of such amazing power and prestige to be perched atop the building that oversaw this city, whoever was up there must have felt like a god overseeing the puny humans,

"Someday we'll be up there too,"

the Caucasian male pronounced aloud (aloud being used generously as it would probably have sounded more like a mumble) as the sudden presence of a hollow appeared, presumably talking either to himself or to his zanpakuto whom he'd lately been able to communicate with much clearer than in past attempts. Takeshi was ambitious, he knew someday he'd be able to be a Squad Captain, maybe he'd replace Captain Saigotschuu as the leader of Squad Ten who would by then probably be leading the entire Gotei 13 as the Commander-General in the next couple centuries at least.

The hollow looked massive compared to the pathetic ones he'd slew on previous patrols, but it was still nowhere near as intimidating as the raw pressure of the powerful arrancar he'd already had the experience to witness during his involuntary excursion into Hueco Mundo itself, yet still it appeared to be partially unmasked. An incomplete arrancar? Or maybe just a basic one that had not even evolved into a menos grande yet before shinigamification? No point pondering what it may have been, Takeshi felt confident that his current level would be enough to outmaneuver it's bulky body and force it to retreat. He may not have held onto a seated position, but that was only a matter of his own lack of field experience and leadership training, and in combat Takeshi was graded to be roughly the same level in terms of speed and strength as a 5th-seated officer.

He stood to his feet and hopped off the street light he was perched upon and landed onto the busy street below. Standing in the middle of the intersection may have seemed stupid, but Takeshi was now used to the fact that his body was composed of spirit particles and could pass through solid objects at will just like any shinigami or hollow could, and he let several indistinguishable yellow taxis pass right through him before he chose to go for a ride. Hopping along the tops of the moving traffic down the street, Takeshi caught a glimpse of the massive pseudo-arrancar get beat up by some sort of other spirit being with little effect. When it took flight, that is when he realized that he might need some backup, but decided to move to that location where the fight just took place regardless. He reached for the zanpakuto at his side, and drew the long curved blade preparing head of time for a fight as he also reached for a page from his notebook in case he was in need of kido support. He had no clue what to expect in this hectic place, but that assumed air of hostility and assholery that New Yorkers were infamous for was all a part of the experience. The States were a great place to visit!

[schitzo7830]

Kaito watched the Giant hallow/arrancar thing as it fought with Ein. He was very unsure about what it was. He also noticed someone standing in an alley looking at the fight as well. The a little girl with pigtails and a white dress ran by him. The creature seemed to watch almost transfixed by her. Kaito decided to stand back and watch for a few more moments.

As the creature jumped up and flew after the girl Kaito did the same. He hovered above watching the creature unsure of wether he should fallow it. He sighed and then flew after it. He noticed slightly behind him there was Ein. Kaito was unsure why he was fallowing a petty soul... He was a vizard not a shinigami. He had no debt to this soul. However he was avoiding his mission by fallowing this thing. He was lucky he wanted to fight the hollow.

As Kaito flew he realized there was shinigami reitsu in the area. He could always tell the difference between there reitsu and his. It was more....shaky. Probably because of the fact their power was surpressed by there release. Kaito shrugged and kept moving.

[Darkoda]

Rin noted the presence of the other shinigami with an impassive glance, but her mind was working in overdrive. From the looks of it, it was that kid that they used as an excuse to wage war on Las Noches. That was quite the brilliant idea now, wasn't it? But on more important matters, that guy's presence meant that she was likely sent here to babysit him. It would be quite ridiculous if the sole justification of that suicide assault happened to die while patrolling wouldn't it? Now she was definitely not in a good mood; she had better things to do with her time than watch over some new shinigami; if they cared about him so much, make Yun deal with him.

The oversized hollow was still on the rampage, although now one of the vizards was engaging it. Now that she had a clear view of its face, it seemed to be a broken mask - an arrancar, although it looked far too beastly for a proper one. Of course, since there was no zanpakuto in sight, it was entirely possible that the thing was just in ressurecion, but either way, the vizard had things in some semblance of control.

Then the hollow/arrancar took off again, after that little girl. It was one thing after another today.... well since the other brat seemed to be following, she supposed that she should keep an eye on him, although she was tempted to just leave him there to fend for himself. Maybe that other vizard in the area was stuck on babysitting duty too? He felt much stronger than the other one, and was maintaining an observational role just like she was.

"Bakudo #26, Kyakko."

As she vanished from visual and reiatsu senses, Rin took off after the hollow in a flash of shunpo, keeping an eye on both the hollow's and the kid's actions. She couldn't let something that huge run around the living world, even if the incredibly rude people in this country could use a disaster or ten to curb their egos.

[wanzer]

Ein's mind had entered a complete haze, something was definately off about this entire situation. As he watched closely the hollow would catch up to the girl quickly, then simply coast behind her as if feigning chase. What the hell was this, what hollow didn't instantly go for the kill? He thought maybe the little girl could tell him what was going on and he used shunpo to get beside the girl and called out to her as he could barely keep up with her.

"Little girl...what is going on why is it...."

The girl squelled suddenly and cried for help as she ran faster and in a brief moment, Ein thought he recognized her, but the symbalnce passed as did his shock as the Arrancar/thing struck him in the chest and he flew back into a nearby brick wall leaving an indent in it. He groaned as he slowly pulled himself away and the vizard he saw earlier reappeared and helped him out of the wall, then was gone before he could even say thank you.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"

Ein punched the ground and felt like he should know what was happening, but he couldn't wrap his mind around it, growling he got up and resumed his chase after the hollow and sped up as fast as he could pulling out his zanpakuto. The blade looked slightly rusted, symbolizing Ein's lost power and he moved rapidly at the hollow and sliced down across its back. There was a groan of pain from the beast and Ein was rewarded with several streams of blood running out of his body, but to his horror as each droplet hit the streets, smaller human sized versions of the being appeared and soon followed the bigger one as it chased the girl, while five surrounded Ein and he was forced to fight them. Each evaporated after a few hits, but he could see the hollow regenerating as it took them back into its body. What in the world was going on...this thing...it was incredible, he had never seen an arrancar or hollow like it. He grunted and charged forward again hoping some shinigami or something else was in the area was there to help him. He never thought he'd say it again, but the soul society could be of assitance. His body shivered as the sense of recognition from the girl came again, where did he know her. He began to search the recesses of his mind as he stopped the Arrancar's progress again and held it back with his blade while thought. It was right there, who was she!?

Ein couldn't find it and soon his sword began to berrate him for it.

"Hey dumbass focus on the enemy in front of you! Figure out who the little girl is later damnit!"

Ein nodded in agreement, but felt himself shoved away by the Arrancar and felt it leave a shock wave behind it as it streamed out into the harbor as it chased the girl to the Statue of Liberty. Ein panted, he didn't want to release not here, not now, Shintan Tsume was begging for him to stop fooling around and letting him out, but he knew it would be a mistake. Tsume was too blood thristy and would probably kill the girl if he got a hold of her. He sighed again and used shunpo back toward the monster.

"I've gotta stop that thing."

He said to himself with a silent resolve as he neared it once again.

OOC: Whew, sorry if its a long boring read xD

Ah, New York! The stench of pollution and the noise of an overpopulated city. Sure, Tokyo was overpopulated as well, but the people there was atleast polite and didn't try to shove you out of the way. Of course, not many dared try that with Richard Mallory and his two buff bodyguards who was more or less creating a pathway through the crowds for him wherever he went. Richard had gone to New York for his anual inspection of the local Mallory Arms facilities, and so far everything appeared to be in order. And just as it used to be, there was very little spirit activity in this city.

But it would appear one of those unusual times, when suddenly everything went upside-down would appear today. Just as he was about to leave the New York HQ for Mallory Arms Corp. his 'cellphone' began to make bleep'ing sounds, indicating for Richard that something urgent had happened. Wasting no time Richard took it out of his pocket and flicked it open, before he looked at the display. It seemed his short-range radar had picked up a few spirits in the area, one large, probably a hollow. Seemed taking his armor suit with him hadn't been a waste afterall. Not that there was much to carry... But the arm-guard really stood out if he wore it in public.

Richard nodded toward his two bodyguards, as the group immidiately changed directions toward the nearest elevator, using it to get to the roof of the skyscraper. And as they walked out over the concrete floor the two bodyguards positioned themselves by the elevator. After a quick check of his surroundings Richard deemed his position safe enough as he put down a suitcase he had carried with him as he crouched infront of it and opened it. Hidden under a large quantity of papers was what appeared to be a arm-guard made of steel on the top end and another black and leathery material on the lower end, which had made it possible to nearly fold it togheter. Richard took it out of the suitcase and with a quick inspection to see if everything was alright he slid it on his left arm, the arm-guard easily slipping past his hand and onto his wrist, before seemingly tightening around it.

"T-Alpha, commence activation sequence." He said aloud as he stood up, moving his arms out to the side. And just as he did the metal covering the face of the arm-guard suddenly slid aside, revealing a glowing golden core underneath. ["Command verified, commencing activation sequence."] Richard heard the voice of his personal 'spirit AI' say, a moment later the golden glow spread across Richard's entire body as he began to shimmer, and just moments later it appeared as if pieces of metal and other fabrics began to manifest on Richard's body, before a sudden wave of heat emanated from him. His clothing had been incinerated, and all that remained was a form of 'jumpsuit' which had been specially engineered to interface with the Prototype Thanatos armor. A few seconds later and the glow disipated, and with the sound of metal hitting concrete Richard fixed his now armored body on the ground.

((Reference: Clicky))

["Activation sequence completed, status report... 100% of all suit functions active, 100% of internal suit storage remaining, Spirit Absorption System on standby, Nerve Amplifier Signals active, Enhanced Exo-Skeleton functions active, Spirit Plate Circulation Systems active. Conclusive report: Thanatos-Alpha at full combat readiness."]

"Thank you, T-Alpha." Richard said, his voice barely seeping out of the air-tight helmet he wore, but that was not necessary, as T-Alpha was the suit itself. And as Richard prepared to take off, one of his bodyguards seemed to wonder where he had disappeared to, while the other looked mighty impressed.

Without further ado, Richard jumped off the ledge, but as he was about to fall his feet seemingly hit something solid, and then he began to run on empty air. ["Spirit Elevation System activated, Spirit Absorption System on low frequency."] T-Alpha reported. Though Richard felt it somewhat annoying, since the suit said it every time, he knew it was important as he could not keep check of the HUD status displays all the time while engaged in battle, and the suits automated systems made things so much easier for him.

As Richard began to approach the area of the 'battle', and coincidentally the Empire State building, he whispered yet another command to the suit. "Engage cloak, proceed with battlefield scan class A" It took but a moment before Richard began to shimmer, and a second later he became nigh invisible even to spirits. On the other hand, he now gave off a reiatsu signature, though extremely low, and the mix of energies made it seem more like a small group of plus rather than anything of significance. ["Cloaking System activated, Spirit Absorption System on medium-frequency, 1% of internal storage drained per minute. Commencing Battlefield Scan class A..."] T-Alpha reported yet again, and shortly Richard's HUD radar began to update rapidly.

"Interesting, appears we have about five spirits of significance in the area. And one is... Very close-by. Seems to be simply observing. Low-spirit output, but there are signs of a higher power, maybe it is concealing its strength... A good a target as any." Richard commented to himself as he surveyed the scan results. A minute later and he had moved around the large building and began to 'climb' the side of it. Rather, he was floating upward as he increased the output in his suits spirit levitation system, which made them nearly like thrusters.

Once he began to near the top of the building he gave a few 'mental' commands to the suit, as a device on his right wrist began to alter its shape as the guard on his wrist elevated slightly to give room for a barrel which was slightly visible, had he not been cloaked. And once he reached the top, where he saw the silhouette of the female shinigami, he pressed a point on the side of his helmet, before he trailed his right arm at her back. Acording to his visors scan results, she was far from a weakling, however it was unable to get proper results, which seemed to signify she was more than likely a class A target. A worthy challenge, if she survived the initial attack.

That's when things got a bit iffy, because just as he was preparing to fire his weapon, the girl said a few words which he was unable to hear clearly, but made him think he had been discovered. When the girl disappeared from natural sight however, he realized she was using a cloaking of her own, and in a moment the visor shifted to a form of spirit thermal, giving him a clear outline of the woman before she used the shinigamis high-speed movement technique, apparently called shunpo. Had he been slower to switch his visor mode, he would have missed her, but now that he had a lock-on, he knew where she had gone. No longer fearing being seen, Richard disengaged his cloaking as he walked up on the building, disabling his elevation system and landing on the roof.

From here he could get a clear view of his surroundings, which made it easy to figure out why the woman had chosen this spot. Looking out over the city Richard kept track of where the woman was heading as he briefly surveyed the surrounding area as well. It seemed the large beast was indeed a hollow, larger than he had thought, but its strength was not too impressive. "T-Alpha, disengage mass-compressor A" Richard ordered, as he stretched his arm out over his back, his back 'spikes' beginning to shimmer as an object was formed inbetween them. Richard grabbed ahold of it just as it finished forming, and brought it out infront of him, inspecting it for a second.

It seemed as if the mass-compression fields did indeed work as predicted, the Mk3 Prototype Mag-Rail Rifle he now held in his hands looked to be in perfect condition, though to anyone else it looked to be a prety small and clunky looking gun. Of course that was because it was not in combat mode just yet, which Richard took care of by pressing a switch on the side of the gun, which caused the entire gun to go through a transformation. The gun itself lengthened as parts was split, while hatches and small pipes opened up along the sides as iron-sights elevated from within the gun. All in all the transformation took three seconds, and when finished the rifle had become a one and a half meter long rifle with a rather sleek look toward the back, where the grip and trigger was, while it still held a slightly clunky look toward the one meter long barrel, which was more of a rail than anything else.

Richard wasted no time however, he knew he needed to act quickly before the shinigami went out of reach, and as such gripped the gun and positioned himself for firing, as he used his suits built-in visor zoom as a scope, and the iron-sights of the gun for precision. With his suits ability to enhance his reflexes and its targetting capabilities, it was not hard for Richard to track the woman as she moved toward the battle, and then predicted a course of interception.

The gun itself made no sound other than a low, barely audible swoosh as the metal projectile charged with a ton of concentrated reiatsu was sent flying. However that sound itself was drowned out by the sound of the heat expulsed from the sides of the gun, as vent-like hatches shot open to relieve the gun of both the extraordinary heat and pressure it produced. And in the meantime the projectile which traveled at nearly 3 km per second was comming closer and closer to the shinigami captain, being hit by it would be like getting hit by the concentrated power of an espadas cero, minus the burning effect, plus the fist sized solid projectile.

[wanzer]

"If your so intent on saving that little girl Ein, you sure are doing quite the poor job. Release me and lets get this over with! The council will have your head if you deviate much further."

"For once I agree with angry dragon boy over there Ein...you need to straigthen up your act and end this now. You don't have time to be messing with this, you need to scan that final section of the city and get back to Tokyo and make your report."

Ein's head was throbbing with the two speaking so close to each other, he wasn't quite used to so many voices in his head at once and it made him feel more than just a little bit schizophrenic. He rubbed his head quietly and listened to the two prompt him further to use his shikai and kill the stupid thing so they could go home. He was just as sick of this city as they were, but their cold indifference to the childs plight was getting on his nerves, the headache grew larger and finally he roared mentally at both of them. He rarely did such a thing and he only had done it this time because of the raging headache they were giving him.

"SHUT UP YOU IDIOTS FINE IF THIS MAKES YOU HAPPY!"

Ein switched back to his normal means of speaking and felt his headache began to fade and left his head in a blissful state of being comfort and peace. He breathed in deep, focusing his mind on Tsume, the dragon's massive bulk filled his mind and he felt his power sync with him. His reitsu surged and his shikai aura began to form in its lavender light as he called out his zanpakuto's name and it began to form on him.

"RAISE FROM THE DARKNESS, SHINTAN TSUME!"

His entire blade shattered leaving him with nothing to hold onto as the thousands of black shards fell to the ground and his hands and forearms were covered in a black mist. His teeth began to grind together and it felt like Tsume was chewing on his hands for a moment as the darkness faded away and the guanlets that were his shikai were formed. Ein flexed out his fingers as he looked forward at the beast before and let the razor like extentions on each glint evilly in the sunlight as he grinned and jumped forward putting himself between the girl and the hollow thing.

"Your terrorifying this girl ends Hollow! Prepare to die!"

Ein used shunpo in front of the monster and plunged his hands into its face and it roared in pain as he began to tear it apart. The gap widened and blood flowed freely from the monster, but no little versions of itself began to form. Ein's face turned into a twisted smile as he began to tear it further apart and finally he was granted a satsifying ripping sound and the entire thing was split in half. It continued to roar in pain for a few more moments before its body disappaited into nothing and Ein stood there in shock for a moment.

"What the hell....that wasn't a hollow...hollows don't die like that."

Ein slowly turned to the little girl behind him and crotched down as she moved her hands from her face to look at him. Her beautiful and young blue eyes looked at his face and then widened as a look of pure glee came to her face and she rushed to him, screaming Daddy, Daddy with each step and wrapped her arms around him. His eyes widened in the complete surprise of the moment and soon memories of his years passed in sweden came back to him...His little girl, Lana...she was only four when he died...how could she remember him all this time when he could barely do it. Ein's eyes began to fill tears and he clutched his daughter. It was her, everything about her was the same as he remembered, she must have died soon after he had, but why hadn't see aged? He didn't know he didn't care, he was reunited with his own flesh and blood, even if they were both dead. The rarity of such an event happening...the odds, were astromonical. He wiped his eyes as his daughter looked up at him.

"I missed you Daddy."

Ein's moment was interrupted however, by the sounds of handsclapping together from up above him. Ein's blood ran cold as he looked up and saw what appeared to be five vizards standing on top of the Statue of Liberty's spikes. He gulped and tried to sense their spiritual pressure, but none of them were giving anything off except for the one that was clapping and his was massive...easily Captain level or above. Ein gulped again and clutched his daughter closer to him as the Vizard looked down at him and he had the creeping suspicion that this man was up to no good. He looked at them from right to left to get a basic feel for each of them. There were two women, both looked to be of hispanic descent from their skin color and black hair, each stood on either side of the middle man who was clapping. The one to left had a mask that looked like a seasnake. Its white features carved out a little giving it a scaled effect with only two eye holes showing her bright red eyes.

The one to right had a more hawk like mask, the beak extending just a short way out from her face and curving down giving the impression it could be used as a weapon. Her eyeslots showed her eyes to be gleaming yellow and her scala black as most Vizard's eyes became when their masks were on. Both women were dressed in matching outfits that showed off their C-cup breasts and wide hips. Their shirts were cut off just below the breasts and both were colored bright red and appeared to be made of some silk like material, that tightened around them and further amplified their 'features' The shirts had no sleeves and only a few threads in the back tied together in knots to hold the outfit together. Their legs were mostly shown, through their black miniskirts, though the lower section was hidden by the almost knee high black leather boots they wore. Each one was playing with their hair while the middle man continued to clap, they seemed very bored with the entire situation.

The one on the far left was crotching down his body looked like it was set and ready to pounce beneath his large brown and white hoodie. Ein could just barely see beneath his hoodie that he was wearing a yellow shirt. His eyes weren't able to be seen beneath his hollow mask, which looked like an off mix of a rhino and a human's faces. It had a long protrouding chin and a heavy brow that covered the eyes completely. Its jaw line was set into a scowl and at the center of its forehead was a large horn. He was growling at Ein and Lana as he looked down upon them, there was intense feelings of rage and hatred and he kept looking over to the middle man like a dog awaiting a command.

The one of the far right was standing with his arms crossed, showing just outside of his mask was long silvery hair that was being blown back by the wind. His outfit blowing in the wind just like it. He was wearing a simple long coat much like a captain's haori, but instead was a negative of the other haoris. He was wearing no shirt underneath and his pants were also black and baggy, showing his boxers though not loose enough to fall down, though he did have a belt to prevent it just in case. His mask was the most frightening of all with a open mouth full of jagged teeth and appearing completely reptailian, probably a kamodo dragon if Ein had to guess, but he really didn't want to find out as he stared at the man for a second and finally turned his gaze to the middle man again.

"Seems your trying to analzye us eh? You really have no hope so hand over the girl and we'll be on our way. We would kill you, but you gave us such a great deal of help by getting rid of her little gaurdian for us."

He gulped and looked at him, he was obviously the leader as he spoke with a great deal of command and was the only one that had spoken so far. He was dressed almost identically to Ein and his face covered by a mask that was shaped like an old style samurai's face plate. The only difference between their clothing that Ein could spot was that there was no writing on his shirt and that his aura was piercing the air in a white hot white and burning red. Ein looked up at him and stroked his daughters hair and told her to stay behind daddy.

"YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MY DAUGHTER YOU BASTARD!"

"I was hoping you'd say that."

The vizard said and grinned as he moved, Ein could even follow it he was gone in the blink of an eye, then flickered like a flame before for just a moment, before he clipped the side of his jaw and a furious bout of pain sweeped through his entire body from that one point of impact, making it heat up. He ground and gripped the other mans arm and dropped kicked him sending him back for a moment and spitting as he reach out to strike him again. Then he noticed the vizard sending commands out to the other ones. The one on the far left was signaled toward Kaito and it burst it a stream of lightining and traveling almost as fast towards him before appearing behind him and charging electricty up in his horn went to run him through. The two females were headed toward the captain class spirit pressure and something else near them he didn't know what, but when they got there they began firing ceros together like crazy and the two. The final one launched away toward another seated officer in the area, Ein had no idea who it was nor did he care, he just hoped that he could hold his own for his daughter's sake and hoped he could do the same as his face erupted into pain again from another blow and his daughter was screaming don't hurt daddy as she cried and hide her face again.

"Lana...run away!"

Ein shouted as he began to get hit again and again. It was all he could do to defend himself as blow after blow rained down around him and each punch felt like a miniture ball of fire. Ein barely got in a few blows before a sweeping kick to his face sent him just in front of his daughter and the vizard before him began to create a fireball in his hands.

"DIE!"

Ein grabbed Lana and shielded her with his body as his skin began to burn and he created another reitsu platform to hold him up as his daughter cried over him. His body was in agony as he felt the burns cover him and his hollow fighting to heal him. Ein slowly got up to a knee and the Vizard extended his hand and asked for Lana again.

This day was going to be much more than anyone was expecting, especially the potentially least experienced of every combatant in this brawl that was unfolding. Takeshi watched as the rogue shinigami managed to slaughter the massive hollow upon releasing his shikai, and kept a low profile as the drama unfolded around him. From this range, there was no way he could hear what anyone was saying except for when the one person said something about protecting his daughter. No point really caring about all the personal affairs of complete strangers though, as before anyone could anticipate anything, these mysterious vizards started attacking everyone, Takeshi included.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me..." Takeshi uttered irritatingly as he sensed the rapidly approaching spirit pressure of who would become his next opponent and finally the enemy came into view. Long silver hair, baggy pants, a long black coat over a bare chest, and a rather intimidating looking hollow mask covering his face. Takeshi took a quick step to the side and swung down at the passing vizard with his longer-than usual zanpakuto, he was able to feel the blade connect, but if he drew blood was a different question altogether. He turned to face the adversary, and raised his blade to block any oncoming attacks.

[schitzo7830]

Kaito watched from afar the random group of men and women surround Ein well he took down the massive hollow that was obviously protecting the girl. He could tell by the smell of their reitsu they were vizards. They all already had there masks on and were in some what of high power. After a few moments of them all speaking and Ein screaming the vizards started darting in different directions. Unlike most other fighters Kaito didn’t care where they were going. He did care about where one of them was about to be though. He saw a vizard, one with a white and brown hoodie with a rhino looking mask moving towards him. Well not exactly moving.

He was a burst of lightning that moved towards Kaito. At first stopping in front of him and then disappearing again. Kaito fallowed the man with his eyes. He knew like most other fighters he would go behind Kaito, So knowing this he drew his sword and spun around kneeling well doing so to avoid and attacks that were going to be shot at his chest/heart/head and swiped vertically. Assuming the beast would jump backwards away from him Kaito decided to move. He knew the creature was already in his mask and could probably destroy Kaito unless he went Bankai or used his own mask.

Kaito turned again and used Shunpo to get around a building. When moving he saw a young shinigami attacking another vizard. He heard the boy speak words out loud before moving. “ You gotta be fucking kidding me…” This made Kaito chuckle. He might have helped the boy if that Rhino looking vizard wasn’t chasing him. But sadly…he was. Kaito took no time to check how far the vizard was behind him. Instead he continued forward till he was standing next to another vizard…

Kaito turned to Ein with a distracted look on his face. After a second of distraction he turned watching for the Rhino kid and he spoke to Ein slightly aggravated. “That bloody basterd made me loose my gum.” Anyone that knew Kaito knew better than to make him loose his gum. That meant you were getting hurt. Kaito noticed that Ein was a little busy but he didn’t have enough time to help out. He had to get ready for Mr. Rhino to show up.

Kaito smiled and looked up to the sky. The weather was already changing as more powerful spirits showed up. Kaito then decided when the Rhino showed up he would surprise him. “Let’s Obliterate Houtai” and with that Kaito’s sword grew in length about ten inches and became serrated. His skin grew more pale and his smile was gone. He was releasing a larger than he was used to amount of reitsu. He hadn’t been ready for a fight of this level sense the Espada he fought. Regardless of how strong these vizards were. They had attacked the council. In Kaito’s eyes, That meant death.

[Darkoda]

Rin was on her way towards the hollow, but she was starting to question what was up with it. It didn’t seem to be making any attempt to hurt the girl, just following her. Odd…. This situation needed some more observations. Maybe she could get the Shadow corps working on who they were –

Rin’s thought process was interrupted as she detected a small reiatsu presence zooming towards her. It was definitely quite powerful, and while she could evade it, it was guaranteed to kill someone if she did. Just perfect. With fluidity that only came from practice, she drew the zanpakuto on her hip and slashed it through the bullet, sending an electric charge through it in mid-swing.

The resulting flash of lightning and reiatsu would have acted as a large beacon for anyone in the area, but her sniper clearly knew where she was already, and with the angle of that shot, she knew where he was as well. While dusting the smouldering remains of her sword off her arm, she stared right at the building she just came from, her visor zooming in to reveal an armoured person holding one gigantic gun.

Just what is that supposed to be? “Oye.”

It took but a second before the voice of one of her subordinates came through the miniature earpiece. They were getting better.

“Yes Shimizu-taicho?”

“I’m sending you data on an unknown being. Research, and report to me any information on it. Also, get my limit release approved, it seems to be captain strength and has no problems with killing innocents. Also, keep an eye on the others around here; I want info about all of them.”

“Yes taicho.” The connection was cut as Rin moved herself to engage this new threat; before feeling two presences charging towards her. The two ceros they fired passed through thin air as they flew straight towards the top of the Empire State building. Rin appeared a few meters in front of the two vizards, an impassive look on her face.

“Everyone seems to be greeting me with an attempt on my life today.”

Rin examined the two girls she had to deal with today; they were clearly twins, and from the looks of their clothes, they were likely sluts in their free time.

Honestly, you call them sluts just because of those clothes? So do you think I’m a slut too?

You don’t want her to answer that Chi.

……I hate you both.

You weren’t saying that when I was –

Enough. “Just who are you two?”

“I am Lily and….”

“I am Lin.”

Okay, they were finishing each others sentences. Great, two annoying people to fight.

“Fine, Lily and Lin, you can go away, or you can die. Choose.”

She drew the umbrella from her back, ready to strike when they chose to attack her. The longer it took them, the more likely those masks would break making them pitifully easy to kill.

[wanzer]

Ochiro sighed and rubbed the back of his head lazily as the blade connected with his forehead and his mask held it back somewhat. He shook his head a little and looked at the young shinigami ahead of him, before reaching for his mask and pulling it off and pushing it up away from along with Takeshi’s blade. There was a drip of blood on his forehead and he sighed again following its trail down his face and watching it form a little dot on his chin, before falling to the ground and making a little plip sound. He looked up, his eyes calm and diluted as his power remained unchanged from the removal of his mask and flicked his hand to remove it from the mask and the blade away from him and the mask disappeared all at once instead of breaking as he stood before the shinigami.

“Well, was gonna suggest we just be lazy, but seeing how it appears your ready to fight….”

He turned and flung his hand upwards in a semi circle, creating a row of stalagmites and firing them like balas at the young man. He really didn’t care and yawned as he started to spray more to close off his escape and touched the satellite antenna next to him and began to focus his mind on a large hammer as he watched the spikes fly at Takeshi. He abhorred these types of things and would rather be napping right now, when he saw Lily’s panty line and thought never mind, that made this worthwhile.

Alan’s eyes were masked in a bloody fury as his horn struck the top of Kaito’s blade, sparks of electricity flew in all directions including down Kaito’s blade, before he flung himself backwards and landed against a building causing the large windows to dent and crack from his pressure. He grunted and looked straight forward the ambitious vizard in front of him was more of a hassle than he thought he would be and though he only had to stall for time, this was going to be harder than he thought. Begrudgingly he pressed his palms down against the class and the cracks spread as he jumped forward with a startling amount of speed though not nearly as much as he had when he was a lightening bolt. He began to twist half way there and formed a corkscrew, his rotations concealing the true location of the horn on his mask as he plummeted down toward Kaito. All the while his thoughts turned around in wonder of their leaders planning as he noticed Ein fall to his knees again and their leader take advantage of him and abuse him like a rag doll.

Alan’s eyes drifted again and he saw Ochiro looking up Lily’s skirt and wanted to scream, though the seal on his tongue prevented it. He simply shook his head in disgust and went back to scanning the area for a moment, wondering how in the hell that idiot Ochiro could be thinking of panties at a time like this. He never would understand Ochiro and he really didn’t want to, someone who was that lazy, incompetent, perverted and idiotic really didn’t need to be understood, he on the other hand didn’t understand why Ochiro couldn’t see things his way, but alas you can’t always get what you want.

The twins apparently choose death as they both began to channel energy for attacks at Rin. Lily was charging something water based, while Lin began to make something wind-based. It wasn’t the best combo but it would do as the two fired in unison and the attacks combined into one after a moment of travel and flew toward Rin like a bala and soon the air was full of them as the two spammed them at her. They ignored everything else going around them, not caring who saw what on their bodies as it would more than likely distract the other fighters and gives theirs chances for killing blows, but then again it might not. It didn’t matter to them and possibly maybe Rin’s inner spirits were right, maybe they were just two very lewd girls that wanted attention either way they were turning out to work quite well together as their combined attacks were efficient with their energy, but doubled in power because of the combination. They were smiling at Rin and soon began to taunt her as they continued to fire their attacks.

“Hey Lily…”

“Yes, Lin?”

“Is it just me or is this tramp a little…”

“To tight and needing the touch of a man?”

“That’s about right, she is moving so stiff and”

“Man like, your right she needs to relax more unwind”

“Find a nice young man and show him a good time.”

“I think that would loosen her up a little don’t you agree Lin?”

“Oh most definitely, she could really use it!”

“I’m glad you agree, if she lives maybe we could show her a good time. A little sake…”

“Some Korean bar-b-que…aughta do her some good.”

The twins giggled at their berating of the Captain and continued to fire the blasts spamming them out as if they were like pennies into a wishing well. They had moved surprisingly little since the fight began, but just enough to make anyone trying to get a fixed aim on them a bit annoyed as they would change their positions ever so carefully to throw off any attacker. They wondered how Rojini was doing as they floated around, but didn’t dare look back to find out.

Ein gasped for air as he was lifted up by the throat, his hands wrapped around the arm of the man in front of him and struggling to break the grip, but unable to. He stung at the man’s nerves several times and finally, he lost control of that limb and released his grip. He coughed and wheezed, but before he could even move, he was caught under the chin by his foot and shot upward. Ein, nearly blacked out from the force of the blow and sailed upward, just before the man caught him in his other arm, Ein began to choke again, but this time he couldn’t even lift his arms.

“Your amusing to say the least, but I don’t have time to play. Remember, my name is Rojini Qun weakling. Though I don’t expect you to live long enough to get real use out of it.”

Rojini’s arm cocked back and he dropped Ein, Ein dropped two inches and the flurry began, ten, twenty, thirty blows rained down into his stomach and face each one burning like a pyre as he was gripped back for more punishment just as he was about to go flying. He grunted and felt consciousness beginning to leave him, when he saw his daughter crying beneath him and his resolve stiffened. The next punch seemed so slow and Ein caught it and shoved it away before spinning around and kicking Rojini’s mask. The mask flew away and to his shock, Rojini’s face was a duplicate of his. Ein’s jaw dropped for a moment, but he decided it didn’t matter and was probably just a coincidence as he gripped his claws and cracked them preparing for the fight ahead.

“Seems you got some spunk after all…lets rock you punk!”

Ein and Rojini’s hands locked and they struggled Rojini not even noticing that inbetween his fingers were bleeding, when Ein looked up and his hollow mask appeared and he head butted Rojini. Rojini recoiled back away from him holding his head for a moment as Ein shot a cero at him. The vizard without his mask looked up at it confidently, gripped the cero in his hand twisted around and launched a small portion of it back at Ein, who dove down, but still was stung in the leg by his own cero. He grunted, this guy was good even with his vizard mask on he was just getting so much pain, but what was going on? The guys mask just fell away like it was nothing and his power…he didn’t feel a change. Ein’s thoughts were interrupted by a double overhand to his mask causing it to chip and Ein just barely managed to tap Rojini’s nerves in his right leg before falling and coughing up some blood.

“Damnit…these people…WHAT ARE THEY!?”

[Galihan]

The enemy drew closer and Takeshi swung his zanpakuto downwards at the approaching foe, making what could have been to many opponents an instant kill strike aimed right for the large man's head. It was how they taught shinigami to kill hollows, one clean strike, no resistance to fight back. Unfortunately, the hollow mask of the vizard seemed to be stronger than that of the average hollow, probably given that there was also the base reiatsu of the host shinigami to fuel the enemy soldier's body as well as the boost provided by the hollow mask. As Takeshi tried to recover from his strike, he found himself unable to withdraw the blade as it appeared to be lodged in place. Was it actually stuck inside the vizard's skull? Or just the mask itself?

Takeshi struggled with the vizard as he appeared to remove the mask from his face, simultaneously moving the end of the zanpakuto with it which was only freed after the mask vanished into thin air. In that instant, Takeshi leaped backwards quite the distance to separate himself from his opponent and get a safe view on what damage he may have caused from his attack. The trail of blood dripping from his forehead was a safe indicator that Takeshi wasn't going to have any difficulties if that was as powerful as he was going to be with his hollow mask, but after a few moments, it seemed like the reiatsu of the vizard wasn't decreasing in the slightest even after discarding the mask.

"What... the hell...this reiatsu, it's..."

The teenage-looking shinigami uttered quietly to himself as he raised his blade to protect against any oncoming attacks that were sure to be heading his way. Instead of counterattacking, he spoke to the oddly dressed shinigami clad in much more western-inspired attire than the typical eastern look. His left hand inside an armored leather gauntlet tightened on the green hilt as his right hand moved to scratch his left eyebrow, the one not concealed under a large white eyepatch that he wore over his right, blue eye. Why did he have an eyepatch? No reason really, mainly just to hide the fact that one was an blue and the other green. It wasn't like he handicapping himself any by halving his sight or sealing his reiatsu, he just didn't like the reactions he often got when people saw his eyes were mismatched. Takeshi was used to being the odd one in the crowd, who was prone to drawing attention in the worst ways. There was no way he'd let someone convince him to not try his hardest in any battle.

"Sorry, I don't waste time killing idiots who attack strangers, lets make this quick."

If he was able to hear what Takeshi had murmured quietly, then that might explain why the enemy began waving his hand towards Takeshi, creating a row of stone-like spears to launch towards the quiet, blunt shinigami. Rolling out of the way, Takeshi took low to the ground as spikes impaled the building behind him and he had to do a short sprint to avoid being skewered by the second barrage used for the vizard to take to the rooftop. After touching the antenna for a few seconds, Takeshi watched out of the corner of his eye to see what was going on as he moved back and forth to avoid stone projectiles. Not that one might have been able to guess he was actually watching, because the eye he was using appeared to be hidden under an eyepatch. Simply put, this eyepatch was designed in order for Takeshi to be able to hide his eye while still being able to see out of it, the material allowing for him to see out but not the other way around. Trivial knowledge to some, but its nature a mystery to others who'd just assume he was blind on the right side and might try to exploit a potential weakness that was not actually so.

Takeshi stood his ground as he saw the previously unarmed being form some sort of warhammer from the tv antenna. Interesting weapon, but surely no match for the sharpened extension of his soul that was his zanpakuto. He lowered the blade, holding it horizontally in preparation to strike upwards on a curving diagonal while sidestepping away from an attack if the freakishly tall man was to try and come at him with that hammer, which surely was bound to happen given the massive stature of the man. Of course size wouldn't save him from a well-aimed blade cleaving his stomach open if Takeshi was able to land a successful hit.
