Ken'ichi was dashing through the chaos, cutting down lesser hollows with ease. [i]His[/i] primary target was that weird looking hollow from earlier, unfortunately his orders were to dispatch as many hollows as possible before they were unleashed across the world rather than just in Karakura Town. Just as he was about to finish off one of the many hollows that were terrorizing the town a Menos had managed to shamble it's way over to him, it swooped it's arm down and he just barely managed to roll out of the way. While he could have probably deflected the attack under normal circumstances, the spiritual pressure and reiatsu of everything shinigami and hollow alike was constantly rising as time continued to pass on the sand. "Reap, Shinpan no Ken!" Ken'ichi shouted as he invoked his shikai on his Zanpakuto. He began rapidly spinning one scythe in it's chain, tossed it into the air above the menos, and pulled it back with all his force. The scythe stabbed into the back of the Menos and embedded itself, not exactly what Ken'ichi had planned, but it would work. He ran and began circling the Menos, wrapping the chain around it tighter and tighter, he laughed as the poor thing tried to sweep at him with it's slow movements. After he felt he had wrapped a sufficent amount of chain around it, he pulled with all his strength constricting the chain and causing the Menos to fall. The Menos fell, head facing Ken'ichi, it began charging a Cero. "Shit." Ken'ichi said. "We can't have none of that, can we?" Ken'ichi was moreso unsure about the strength of the Cero the Menos could currently produce rather than worried it would kill him. He quickly made the chain grow smaller, and tighter, squeezing the...non-life? Out of the hollow. Slowly the Menos' head began facing upwards, it fired, had Ken'ichi not ducked it would have took his head off. The Cero took out several of the taller buildings and continued to travel a short distance before dissipating. Man, Soul Society would have a hell of a time covering this up. Ken'ichi threw his remaining scythe and stabbed the Menos in the throat, with a quick pull it cut the beasts throat and that was the end of him. The Menos dissipated as it was cleansed and Ken'ichi's scyth fell from it's back. One down, and a whole hell of a lot more to go..
