"Jigoku no ame(Hell's Rain)" Ken'ichi said as scythes fell from the sky, eliminating the Menos in front of him with a final slash from his Kanpakuto as the chains trapped it near the outskirts of Karakura. It had been rather a slow day, hell a slow week for that matter. Things didn't seem quite normal to Ken'ichi, almost like something very bad was on the verge of happening, like a war. Ken'ichi grinned at the last part, if anything he liked war, hoped for it. Sure, there are a few cases of stronger Hollow outbreaks, but those are rare and not nearly enough to satisfy Ken'ichi's needs for combat. He sheated his sword as he sealed it and began walking through the forest. Something was about to happen, Ken'ichi could feel it, only could only hope it happened soon.

Soi Fon the Captain of the Punishment Force was looking over recent reports boredly. It had been a long time sience the fateful battle with Aizen. She was slightly confused and uneasy about the new small string of hollow and other such foes attacks. "How is this happening? " She said to herself. Deciding she wanted a break from her duties for now she would ask Lady Yoruichi about this situation as it would also allow her to spend time with her.

Streaching she got up from her office chair and went out into the main city of the Soul Society in search of the Flash Master.

To Margaret, all was as right as it could be at the moment. In the living world of Karakura town, Margaret was living her modest, humble dream of running a flower shop. Not a large business, but enough to get by and relatively quiet. As she thanked the latest customer for her purchase, Margaret looked outside for a moment... and frowned.

A Menos was near the town. She supposed that something about the town seemed to draw larger hollows here - and due to her predatory nature, she knew a bit of what that was. There were plenty of people with strong souls in this city, making it a prime hunting spot for Hollows. Hollows like the one she used to be before she finally regained her identity as an Arrancar.

However, she didn't want to concern herself with that. Hollows that showed up will get defeated by any of those detestable shinigami here. If they left one too long, then perhaps Margaret would be inclined to, ah, put them out of their misery.

The Menos entered the town.
It was unsure where the others were, or where he was for that matter.
But it didn't dwell on it. It never dwelled on anything.
It just walked and ate.
*Stomp*
*Stomp*
It spotted a few lost souls and made a quick meal of them. Food was good.
The Menos turned to see another Menos stare back at him. It was in fact his mirror image on the side of a large skyscraper.
This Menos rivaled it in size and thus, was a threat, it decided. It's movements were clearly provoking and cocky.
Its rival was clearly on the brink of ascension. Soon it would be Adjuchas and eclipse it in might.
*Intense stare off that goes on for several minutes.*
The other Menos twitched! It's going to attack!
It launched powerful Cero at the building. Then another for good measure.
*Stomp*
*Stomp*
In the distance the Menos spotted a few regular hollow hunting a soul as a pack.
It decided it could go for a snack.

Shlay Reka, singing at a bar in the Real World.... she was tied of the SS, because like every week a soul reaper tried to claim her after her former owner had died, this was about 100,000 or so years ago in the Soul Society, she is a legend, a myth now, that very few but the oldest of the Souls Society know. Made By The Epic Hero Gilgamesh, and wielded, for over 50,000 years, the rule he had was absolute and power more so.... when he passed Ea was left behind, all of his power, his weapons, everything left to her... instead of the next head of the Soul Society, or Soul King... those who wield her, will be able to get whatever they want, and conqueror all enemies. The Truth is she does have that kind of power, but she is a very powerful Zanpacto, but she hates to fight, hence why she became a songstress and just changes locations, throughout time.

Suzi was wandering, Hunting down those responsible for her death, to date, she has killed 1 of 7 hollows and one of those hollows was taken from her by a Soul Reaper, 4 of the 5 of the humans, and 1 out of the 3 Soul Reapers Responsible, and now she approaches the other hollow, a black aura goes over her and she herself becomes hollow like; Suzi is a Vagrant Full, a Human who has been killed so horrifically that they can't rest, the exact means to making one, is unknown, and it is believed by the squads that were investigating, who's leader was one who helped make her, but thought it should be reported and hopefully get out scoot free.... well he died, last week, it took him 6 years to finally succumb to the attack, but he died, went insane, confessed and died... the other members of the squad were traumatized from the pure malice of this woman, or that such could come from one they thought was innocent and pure.... Suki when not enraged is very innocent and pure, but once enraged, she can be worse than any hollow, not because she become heartless but because of how she works with that want to kill them.... though no one has tracked her down.

Suzi approaches the hollow, two soul reapers are fighting it, it is an aroncar.... however she is still very far off.... she doesn't have much time, if she fails to kill it... she may never be able to rest.... she will fail tonight.

Abel walked alone through the infinite sands of Huenco Mundo. Alone He was always alone even from the time he was but a lowly Gillian he was alone. He breath a sigh as he recalled the deaths of his "family" and the dying words of the creature he dared call mother. "What is my purpose? How the hell am I supposed to find it?" He continued walking as a strong breeze began to pick up. He stopped dead in his tracks. Something felt off. Out of nowhere a cero blast came at him and exploded at his feet creating a thick cloud of sand.

A large gorilla-like Adjuchas yelled in triumph as his comrade Adjuchas cheered along. "That weakling didn't know what hit him." The gorilla approached the cloud of debris with a proud grin. Devouring other Adjuchas, was what they did to evolve to Vasto Lorde's, and while rare Adjuchas groups had sometimes had managed to kill a sole Vasto Lorde and devour them increasing their growth even further. Just imagine what power they would gain from devouring an Arrancar, especially one at this level. "It was my kill so I get to-"

Abel appeared behind the gorilla, holding his Zanpakuto upside down, and the blade pointed directly at its throat. The Gorilla had no time to react at all before he muttered a low. "I'm sorry." and severed its head from its body. Using Sonido he dodged all the other Adjuchas, who were now firing a barrage of cero at him. He cut them all down without any hesitation, his Zanpakuto taking off heads, and other limbs as he did. Abel stood admist the many corpse of his attackers and breathed another sigh. "Is this my purpose? I think not." He pulled down his hood as something to the right of him caught his eye. A single Garganta remained open nearby leading straight to the human world. Some hollows maybe even the very group that had just attacked him had used it get to the real world to devour more souls. As an Arrancar he had no more need for the souls but he had never been to human world since he became a hollow. Perhaps he would find purpose there? Or at the very least at least something to do. He sheathed his sword and jumped through the Garganta waiting to come out in the human world.

*Stomp*
*Stomp*
Towering over everything the Menos had a great view of what was going on in the city.
In the distance the Gillian spotted an arrancar fighting two shinigami, and losing badly. Eslsewhere was woman with tremendous spiritual pressure, rushing over to the fight.
On its other side a garganta had opened up. Judging by it's size and style it was created by one or more adjuchas, but out came another arrancar. This one was not in any weakened state however.
Following basic instincts the Gillian marched in a straight line away from the new arrival.
*Stomp*
*Stomp*
Following the woman towards the fight.

Suzi got there, the two soul reapers saw her and started to panic, the aura off of her made the Hollow look weak, "Out of the way, or you'll face his fate" she said, unleashing a barrage of blade beams and cutting it to small peaces, and then walked away, fading into the distance like a ghost.

Reka was putting on a nice show, she kept her power suppressed, but could feel the others, and even with supressed powers, she put out quite a bit, not enough for damage but enough to be noticed as a human with high spirit power.

Abel stepped out of the Garganta slowly and was instantly met with an onslaught of different reiatsu's. He sensed a Gillian, a few shinigami, and something else that he couldn't place coming from the same general direction. Something else caught his attention however this reiatsu was faint, and suppressed clearly different from any shinigami or hollow that he had felt before and it was different than the other strange presence he felt. The reiatsu was probably very well covered from any one else with all the other spirtual activity going on at the moment but his Rastreo had heightened his detection considerably. He had no idea what it was but it was definitely interesting, he would find it and figure out what it was. Using his Sonido and Rastreo he could feel the presence coming from a small bar and he got there within minutes.

Being an Arrancar he was invisible to all humans save for ones with great spiritual powers so he would have to find the person inside who could see him., He had to lower his own power to stop it from suffocating all of the human around him as he walked into the bar even still it probably made a few of them fell nauseated and sick. He closed his eyes and used his Rastreo again detecing the "scent" that he now had memorized. He looked up and saw a girl that he was sure was the source of the energy.

"What are you?" He asked with a curious tone.

She was stepping down from the stage and looked at him,

"Me? I am a Songstress... I sing for money" she said, "My name is Shyla Reka" she knew what he was, but she was wondering what he was going on about, and hoping he didn't know she was a Zanpacto, that was older than most, and she didn't want a conflict... but if he wanted to attack her she would defend herself. And the name she used didn't give her away, she didn't call herself 'Ea' she went by Shyla Reka, Miss Reka, Shyla, but never called herself Ea, she did practice and such, but she didn't want to get involved with fighting... it made things awaken in her.

"You know that's not what I meant." Abel stated. "You aren't a shinigami, you're definitely not a hollow of any kind." He gave another onc eover of her Reaitsu. "And you aren't a human. Anyway, your reiatsu is very interesting is all I'm trying to get at really."

She put her arm in his and walked out with him, then slapped him with her fan, but still held his arm, "Keep your hands off my Reaitsu" she said blushing at him, she didn't have to force it, she could call any emotion she wanted, when she wanted, "A Gentleman doesn't touch a lady like that... Just as bad as you trying to Grope me thank you" she said, sounding hurt, she wasn't, but she liked being Miss Reka, she didn't want to change her name or have to leave. "Now that that is out of the way, though being groped and massaged feels good, what do you want with me?" she asked, "There are plenty of those black robed people, and a creepy girl out there for you to go after, why do you want just a human giving off unusual Spirit power?" she asked, "And Yes I can see you, I made you visible the moment you walked in, I also held back most of your pressure... so talk before I let go, and let the men in black find out you are here."

Abel raised an eyebrow. "But I never even touched you." He said as he rubbed the place she had hit him. The girl was even more curious to him now. "And as I already told you, I know you aren't a human." He wasn't really scared of her threat, if she had sent any regular shinigami after him, she would surely be sending them to their deaths. "As I told you before I find you interesting." He said with a shrug.

"Well you shouldn't be feeling a Ladies Reatsu without her permitting you to..." she repeated, "What are you some heartless monster without manners" a joke on hollows, but... anyways, "What makes you think I am not human, and if I am not a Human.... Then What Am I?" she asked.

Soi continued to walk around the Society finding no trace of her Lady. She was kind of disappointed. Then she remembered the Ryoka she was friends with in the human world.Lady Youruchi might have gone in responce to the rumors. She decided to find a Gigi and cross over to the human world so she sought out anyone who could provide one for her.

Suzi went back to normal, and started to find a place to sleep.... she needed sleep, she had been on the hunt for sometime, some rest wouldn't hurt.

*Stomp*
*Stomp*
The massive monster followed Suzi from a distance, since that was a better way of thinking it than running from Abel.
A known threat was worse than a potential threat and in this direction were delicious shinigami. Easy choice. All he ever made.
Before the Gillian arrived on the scene the arrancar had already been cut up and the mysterious girl disappeared.
If it hadn't been a Gillian it might have sought out her spiritual pressure. But then it would know to stay away.
So either way the Gillian turned it's narrow attention to the shouldering pile of Arrancar. It could regenerate, It might survive.
The Gillian figured this out simply because this is what the two surprised shinigami figured, they dried to coup de grace the creature before dealing with the Menos.
The Gillian had different idea's. One of them was called Cero.
While not as lethal as hoped, this got them to take a step back. This let him perform his second idea.
Negación

The Arrancar was slowly lifted up in a square pillar of yellow light while it clung to life.
The shinigami both attacked the Arrancar but their blades couldn't slash trough a place that didn't exist.
The Arrancar was safe in another dimension. Well... Safe...

Abel shrugged at her comment and her joke. But her question was still curious. "I don't think you are a human because I know what a human reiatsu is like, yours is not human. As for what you are... That is what I'm hoping you'll tell me."

"I am a Zanpacto..." she said, "And that is all the information you get," she smiled, she was walking him back to her apartment, "and all you need to know is that Shyla Reka is my name, because I don't want to get caught up in your wars... or squabbles ever again... and unlike most Zanpacto, I can stay manifested, and I all woman, while manifested"

Suzi darted away, and found a place to sleep, it was the Korusaki Clinic, in a corner.

The Gillian held the helpless Arrancar aloft, then let it slip into its gaping mouth.
Silence...
Suddenly the Gillians reiatsu spiked. Multiplied even.
The titanic creature collapsed like an empty cloak. The mask dropping to the ground and splitting in two perfectly along the middle.
An internal war had just started.The battle for controll over the new form. Of Adjuchas.
