Ko nodded, with their mission in hand they finally had something good to do, though she had to be honest, she kind of felt bad about the fact that she was taking Giovanni away from his day off. Though he was here anyway so she may as well make this as fun as possible. "We can discuss the plan on the way." With that she Shunpo a few feet away "We should keep together so we can talk" When the others were ready she would start leading the way, heading right for where they needed to go. "The two large ones are going to be tough, but what really worries me is smaller hollows joining them... We should sneak up as close as possible to negate their advantage and if there are smaller hollows I will need one of us to deal with them. But you will be right below the menos so it is not as easy as it sounds.." She waited for the other two to input their thoughts.

Fumio chuckled at the sight of Hozumi's sudden burst of energy. He knelt down in front of Hozumi. He waited patiently for the young boy. .

Hozumi smiled as he hopped onto Fumio's shoulders. It was different when he rode his shoulders. Aya was short so when he rode her shoulders, the view wasn't always that great since there were always people taller than her. But Fumio was average height, so Hozumi could now see above other people. He was about to pull on Fumio's hair but remembered that Fumio didn't like that. So instead, he pressed his heel against Fumio's ribs like jockeys do to horses "Alright, I'm ready! Lets go!" He had always wondered how the life of a Lieutenant was.

After delivering the finished paperwork to the Captain Henry walked back to his room with a big smile on his face, now that he didn't have to worry about the Captains wrath and bakudos for being late when turning in his work. Once he made it to the entrance to his room he opened the door and entered the room closing the door behind him. Placing his swords down on the table he walked over to Sango and gave her a hug from behind. "Im back." Henry said not realizing where his hand was.

Yet your still talking" Angelo sighed softly moving slightly faster with his target wanting to just be rid of him already "pawn, knight, rook, bishop, queen, and king. They are all simply pieces of a chess board it is how they are used that determines their usefulness. Couldn't care less what I do it what I am as long as it helps the seretai I'll be happy" Angelo said simply since his zanpacto was a defense type that used his own pain in his enemy he would handle it all if it meant the seretai would be safe. He will work as hard as possible to keep it that way, he kept walking with his target glad he could see the gate to the seretai in the distance but not letting his guard down still

"Well as the accused prisoner, it would be wrong for me to keep shut. Your job is to take me in and my job is to annoy you until I can prove my innocence which seems fair to me. And no, you're simply incorrect on that one you see. The king and queen is the two most treasured pieces because you only get one of each while one equals game over if lost. Everything else has more than two of its kind on the board while the pawn is the highest in numbers, making them expendable for the most part. However, only in some cases are they heavily depended upon but that's usually when the game is nearing its end. It might be a simple game to the inexperienced but those who understand the game truly and use the pieces to the maximum effectiveness, are the ones who become..." A mysterious presence could be felt coming from behind, cutting off the man's speech. "I...no we have found you...once we are through with having you reveal his location, we'll eradicate your very existence." Soon multiple unknown spiritual pressures could be sensed moving around in an attempt to fully surround the two, with the one speaking standing a couple feet from behind.

"You know its been a while since we had a mission just the two of us, and Hikari in Squad Ten would be willing to watch Amaya since he has the same issue as me." Ayashi nodded, agreeing with Yu that they should go on a mission. Hikari was a good choice for a babysitter, he was nice, he related to Yu, he had nice hair....She smirked at the thought of Hikari, he was a cute one, just as cute as Yu. She glanced at Yu before looking forward. Once they got there, Yu knocked on Hikari's door in which he allowed them inside.

"Hey Hikari, mind if you watch Amaya while me and Ayashi go on a mission?" Hikari looked over at them, as he just finished paperwork. He chuckled as he watched Amaya pull on Yu's hair, he walked over to them and picked her up. Amaya was about to cry as she was being taken away from her father, that was until she looked up and saw Hikari, she stared at him for a bit until she reached up and grabbed his ponytail and began giggling. Hikari began laughing, "Yeah, I got her, you two go ahead and do your mission." He turned around from the two and began talking in baby voice making googly eyes.

Angelo turned slightly to see who was talking and said "if your after this guy you must not have anything better to do" Angelo sighed loudly then turned to his target "don't die on me, id rather not fail this mission." He said simply pulling out his sword and he called out "suffering strengthen my resolve!" then he stabbed the sheath and his sword turned into a double bladed spear as he turned to the person talking "leave and I might not have to kill you or your friends" He told him knowing that this was the ambush that he was feeling. He knew that if this guy had to hide himself that their were people after him and them trying to surround me in a clearing was an obvious move, however it does mean that they will be in one place and that Angelo could immediately confront them and then be done with it making it a smooth journey to the captain

Lucy giggled, seeing Kenta now flushed and saying he'll try to not draw blood "Are you implying you're stronger than me?" She said, her hands on her hips and an eyebrow raised. She grinned, seeing him activate his shikai immediately. Suddenly, a small burst of energy went out shooting towards her. Her palm began to glow a bright white energy as she smacked the burst of energy away. The glow faded away "A staff huh? Its been a while since I fought a staff user" She unsheathed the blade that was sheathed on her back "This should be fun" She said with a wide grin. She shunpoed in front of Kenta, spinning mid air and sending a swift kick towards his head.

"I never said I was stronger, I just know you don't like blood, so I won't draw it," Kenta said calmly as he kept one end of his staff placed firmly into the ground. He was impressed that she was able to smack his Spiritual Energy away, which put a little smirk on his face. She spoke about how it's been a while since she fought a staff user, well she was going to fight the best one. As she shunpo'ed in front of him, she spinned mid-air sending a kick towards his head, Kenta simply stuck his staff out inbetween her ankles and twirled it. Unless she was fast enough, the staff would catch her ankles and spin her around stopping the attack and possibly sending her to the ground.

Yu watched Amaya as Hikari picked her up, and as she was about to cry she then noticed Hikari's hair and sure enough she was happy enough. So when he agreed Yu smiled and nodded at him. "Thank you, be a good girl for Hikari Amaya. And try not to pull on his hair all day long." Yu said in which he saw Amaya just giggle and pull it some more. Yu waved goodbye as he exited the room with Ayashi, closing the door behind him. "Since I'm a lieutenant, I think I can give both of us a mission, so how do you feel about capturing some rogue Shinigami that are hiding out in the forest near district sixty seven? Should be a total of five. Three from squad two, one from squad twelve and one from our squad."

"....yeah, you're right but he's quite the prize ya'know. I can't say the same for you though...now leave before that is no longer an option." A woman with a light and gentle voice alerted while pulling out a hidden dagger from her pocket. Myzurik turned to Angelo with a small grin before separating both of the cuffs from each other with ease. "Don't die on you? Do you even know who you're talking about? If I was that fragile, then I would've been dead ages ago. Oh and you shouldn't use unconventional objects like that anymore, those are human restraints. It almost makes me think that you thought little of me this whole time, and I was starting to like you too." The blue haired man chuckled, moving closer to his bodyguard for protection from the mysterious assailants. "Oooh, an unsealed Zanpakuto, haven't seen one of those in a while. Hahahaha, you really don't get out much do you kid? In nearly every battle, there are bound to be casualties but how one goes about it determines the severity of them. So how will you go about yours?" The woman pulled out second dagger, triggering her surrounding forces to unsheathe their weapons of choice as well. Yet none of them strayed from keeping hidden until someone gave the order to kill...

Angelo groaned softly at him "okay stop talking or I'll actually give you to them, your seriously annoying me" he then turned to the woman "I'll make this really simple for you, most of you will die here if you choose to continue down this path. If you really want to fight me then don't you dare hold back or your going to regret it." He said waiting for their attack knowing his zanoacto was the defense type it would be in his best interest to wait for their attack and redirect it back

"Like I haven't heard that before and that's my job. My life wouldn't be worth anything if I wasn't the soul of the party, isn't that right everyone?" Myzurik said jokingly, looking at the woman for an agreement response who apparently seemed to have ignored it completely. "All we want is the man, nothing else but it seems as if you won't hand him over so easily. Whether we die or prevail today which we will, that's up to me make that decision. And like I told, no battle is won without suffering a few casualties. Eliminate..." The woman spoke so lightly as if she knew for sure that the end result was already decided. Hundreds of men poured in from what looked to be every angle in an attempt to take care of the target assigned to them. Starting with the ground forces first, they went in recklessly, swinging their blades in the direction of them man's Zanpakuto to keep him occupied. Second was the long range fighters, loading up their Reishi enhanced arrows for a devastating rain of destruction while the third moved in to assist the ground forces. Unlike the ground forces though they moved in close but stayed hidden, knowing that the others would shroud their arrival until the time was ripe.

Angelo had to admit that they came at him the way he wanted and even better was that they had ranged attacker that would feel the electrical sting of their own attack. first he called on his first shikai skill and produced a barrier around them as the arrows from above hit they were electrically charged and sent straight back with twice the force although he forgot to spin his blade and suffered slight damage, then Angelo increased his speed by 20 percent and charged the ground units using his increased speed to redirect their attack with his spear using the momentum of their attack and use it against them as he started to kill the ground units but making sure to stay close to his target knowing that this wouldn't be all she would throw at him if the target was still nearby then even if they had a back up plan he would be close enough to take his target back into the barrier

"Sounds good," she said as she placed a finger on her chin, "Hm, unless they're in a group I say we go for the ones that were in Squad two first. I think their tactics would be the easiest to get down, try to attack from the shadows, and use speed to their advantage. It's how Squad two works....Meanwhile I think the other two would be less predictable, of course the one from Squad one would be strong....It is Squad One after all, and the one from twelve I have no idea about. Squad twelve is just.....Different."

"It would make the most sense to be in a group. A better chance to overcome any pursuers if any, but if chance they aren't, then your plan sounds like a good one. Of course we have to take into consideration if the Squad twelve member did anything to better their chances if they were ever apart. If they can shoot off Cero and make a Hollows power their own, Im sure they can do something as simple as giving them a extra power boost. Of course Squad one is always a problem, mostly if he was highly seated before. Anyway lets get started." Yu said as he shunpoed out of the barracks and started on his way to their destination.

Celestria began gathering the remaining cards on the table after listening to Koujaku speak. She mused aloud, focused on his attitude towards loosing despite her going easy on him. He was most definitely an interesting specimen, someone she felt she could learn from a great deal. Clearly Celestria wasn't the "social" type of person, she didn't indulge in the socially acceptable activities that near enough everyone else did. All she tended to spend her time on was games; mentally challenging games, thus her lack in physical strength. She never found physical strength to be a necessity which seemed to be the case for the vast majority of the Soul Society. Those with great minds could use the physical strength of an enemy against them or to their advantage. That was one of many statements Celestria lived by. Standing from her seat after her long-winded, monotonous analysis report, Celestria walked to the edge of the table, close to where Koujaku sat, and stood there in wait. If he were to reject her wishes, she would bid him farewell, unless he had something else in mind.

Koujaku listened to Celestria as she spoke and well pretty much gave off the impression that she had him worked out. Koujaku simply nodded before speaking "Very well then. I don't know what you expect from me but hey. Who am I to question you?" Koujaku then stood from his seat and spoke once again "Well...name the place. Where we go depends entirely on what I can show you..." Koujaku knew that if he were to show her some of his skills in the Seireitei he'd end up destroying a fair few parts of it. If he were to be in more of an open area...well...it's a different story then.

Celestria

Celestria waited patiently, never taking her eyes off of Koujaku as he spoke and stood. She didn't reply until after he had finished speaking. "For what reason should expectations be placed? You, as a whole, are untouched territory from my point of view. Like a newly discovered species of animal and/or insect. I have no means or grounds to go off, therefore expecting such would be foolish. I have no expectations, no limitations on what I feel I am about to witness. Lead me to your most preferred area, I'd like to merely be but a spectator." After another one of her monotonous speeches escaped her mind, Celestria walked around Koujaku so that she stood directly behind him, looking at him expectantly while waiting with her face straight, calm.

Ko nodded, with their mission in hand they finally had something good to do, though she had to be honest, she kind of felt bad about the fact that she was taking Giovanni away from his day off. Though he was here anyway so she may as well make this as fun as possible. "We can discuss the plan on the way." With that she Shunpo a few feet away "We should keep together so we can talk" When the others were ready she would start leading the way, heading right for where they needed to go. "The two large ones are going to be tough, but what really worries me is smaller hollows joining them... We should sneak up as close as possible to negate their advantage and if there are smaller hollows I will need one of us to deal with them. But you will be right below the menos so it is not as easy as it sounds.." She waited for the other two to input their thoughts.

Gustavo listen closely to her thoughts, and opinions on the situation at hand, and he slightly nodded as she did this. "Smaller hollows will indeed be a pain, but I think that a Cero should be our biggest worry, even though Menos are slow, and stupid, a cero by even them could easily be powerful enough to take us out if we are not careful" he looked at her with a simple glare. "If you ask me, I think I should be the one to distract the two Menos, while you two do your best to hit them as hard as you can. This is so I can draw any Ceros away from you two, and don't worry about me getting hit, chances are if I release my Zanpakuto they will be too slow to hit me, giving you guys the perfect opportunity to strike" he then turned his, and looked at them both, hoping to see signs of approval in his plan, or at the very least ideas on how to improve on it. "Like Koyo said, I believe it is best if wait and see what we are up against first, so that we can use a contingency plan that I have come up with just in case." Sweet slowly dripped down his face, simply because he wasn't sure how well this contingency plan would work, but he continued anyway. "This plan would be very simple, if there are multiple Hollows along with the two Menos spotted, then we are going to have to rely on your Shikai's cloning ability Koyo to distract the two while I deal with the hollows below. As for the two Menos things don't really change Giovanni, and you too if your still strong enough will still be the backbone of our plan." He then looked at her nervously, unsure if she would actually be participating. He didn't know much about her Shikai, and if cloning herself would take much out of her, but he had hopes that she could still do it. "I don't know exactly the extent of your abilities when using this, but if you could still fight then it would probably be best." He then sighed loudly, and then smiled to show the two that he had high hopes in his plan working, even though he himself wasn't to sure about it. Hopefully they can think of something better, because I'm not too sure how well my plan will hold up, or even if they would be able to be strong enough to take on the two Menos, but I have to give them credit on their eagerness.

"They are Menos... smaller hollow are inconsequential compared to them. they are the target and by far the most dangerous" Giovanni put in his input as he walked "if there happens to be other hollow they should not be our priority. the two gigantic walking terrors should be. And of course one is an issue in and of itself. best bet is to split their attention and the third person hit them...hard, one at a time. But you are leading this one so its your call Ko" now that Gio put his two sense in he could sit back and simply follow what ever orders he was given. The Choice was Ko's and he stood by that, she wanted an opportunity to prove her abilities and he supported that. sure both of them wanted the same position but gio didnt think about it as a race, niether of them achieved their Bankai yet. Gio had spent the entire year re-mastering his Shikai but he felt one step closer to the Bankai mark. However he learned not to rush these things and trained diligently when possible. Ironically being in squad 5 and his all around training schedule made his goal easier to achieve. He wondered idly if it was the same for the rest of the seated members.

Celestria waited patiently, never taking her eyes off of Koujaku as he spoke and stood. She didn't reply until after he had finished speaking. After another one of her monotonous speeches escaped her mind, Celestria walked around Koujaku so that she stood directly behind him, looking at him expectantly while waiting with her face straight, calm.

Koujaku looked to Celestria then gave a light shrug "Okay then" Koujaku began making his way out of the bar and towards a training area he usually went to. He was unsure what he'd show her but he had to show something, but what interested him was what her skills were...What did she do? did she have a Shikai? and if so what was it capable of? things he wanted to know but that'd have to wait...unfortunately. Koujaku arrived at the training area then unsheathed his Zanpakuto and began twirling it in his hands "Well then best get started shouldn't I?"

Ko was continuing towards the location the Menos were located, thought he more she heard the more she started to think that the other two had no confidence in their own or maybe each others abilities. "Hora, hora.... You guys are too stressed about these things, this is meant to be exciting not something to be stressed over." She stated, picking up the pace, the end of her sword hitting the floor as she did. "The plan is simple. ¬We all focus on the Menos but if the smaller hollows get in the way Gustavo is the one that will handle them, or if the Menos is focused on him then the one that is not currently under attack." She looked back with half closed eyes towards Giovanni "Don't discount the smaller hollows, they are just as dangerous if they corner you." With that she used Shunpo to continue the rest of the way, making a zig zag motion as she did so as she followed her normal pattern of swaying even at high speed.
