[IC] Bleach: The Annihilation of Everything.

[akje]

Ujauja pondered the situation. Something he hadn't done since... well ever since he had died really.
Because he ripped open a garganta on the right moment and lucked into tripping some ancient horror into the human world shit was going down.
Exactly how and what wasn't really clear, but a fun side effect was that the crippling pressure and the newly abundant amount of white sand in karakura town made it the perfect hunting grounds.

And what he considered the perfect hunting grounds would surely the perfect battlefield to the espada, and it wasn't a big leap to assume the Shinigami thought so too.

Less than a mile away a massive pillar was cut in half, along with 4 Menos Grande, screetching as they perished spectacularly. In the distance he thought he could make out two white jackets, a 7 and a 9. Judging my the mass of different pressure sources of insane proportions he felt they were probably all here, and they had probably left their dog leashes at home. This confirmed his suspicions. Looks like they were assuming an attack and going all out.

If only this really was an attack. This would be the perfect moment for the espada to show up and claim this was their plan all along.
Brilliant plan or absurd coincidence? Four heads chuckled, the other 5 grimaced trying to think of a course of action.
He wasn't sure if he'd been spotted yet, but it probably wouldn't take long. How long could he hold out?

[Drakeonis]

Well this situation had went from bad to total shitstorm in a matter of minutes. Abel couldn't believe Ujauja had torn open a considerably large Garganta that had sent him, dozens of hollows, a shit ton of sand, a something very old and very hungry into Karakura town. And where was he in all this mess? Stuck in a large mass of hollows, that were happily biting and clawing away at Hierro hoping to devour him now that he was dazed and confused. Damn it He couldn't let all these hollows run amok in the world of the living but more importantly that monster was a threat to them all, to hell with all the hollows biting at him, to hell with all the shinigami and hollow bullshit! He couldn't hold back anymore. He struggled to grip the handle of his Zanpakuto through the mass of bodies and teeth surrounding and once he pulled it free he brought the blade near his own mouth.

Hunt, Sabueso!!

[LaXnyd]

Margaret was stuck in the empty void that was the state of things enveloped by Kaguya. Unable free herself or even grasp her Zanpakuto, Margaret firmly believed she was finally completely dead when all of a sudden a young girl came up to her and hugged her, crying in joy about how she was "really here".

Had it been another, less serious time Margaret would definitely have questioned, been embarrassed by and reacted to the fact that both of them were stark naked, but considering she was under the impression she was dead there was no thought in her mind. "Where... am I?" she asked "What did you do?"

[Morric]

Leaping between two pieces of a hollow sliced in half, Baldir landed on the rooftop of an office building. Despite the peril and danger of the situation, he couldn't help but manage a half smile at the small workout he was getting. With the arrival of the Gotei 13 and their assault on the outbreak, the number hollows in Karakura quickly began to diminish, leaving them few and far between. Looking out, he spotted a very strange looking hollow sitting atop a high perch, observing the town with multiple heads. Simultaneously, there was a missive increase in spiritual pressure from somewhere in the town. "Where's that coming from?" Asked Baldir to the near by Soi Fon, half not expecting an answer. Not having the best attention span, Baldir's focus shifted back to the multi-headed hollow. Raising his axe with a glint in his eye, Baldir called down a bolt of lightning to strike at the hollow in an effort to blow it into the air.

[Shikaru]

"This is just too easy." Ken'ichi shouted as he swung his over a few hollows, extending the chain to pass them, then quickly retracting it slicing them in half. At this rate Ken'ichi wasn't even thinking of using Bankai, much less needing to. The hollows around them were slowly getting fewer in number, but of course things just had to get worse. A huge garganta opened up on the east side of town, what stepped out only a few could guess. Spiritual pressure simply spiked to levels that would kill most humans and lesser shinigami, what stepped out was the Espada along with their new leader: Hakigaro Jinichiru. The strongest Espada to ever walk on the sands of Hueco Mundo, there have been several legends of him, none confirmed. For Jinichiru as well as several of the Espada to come meant quite obviously they were here to utterly annihilate the Shinigami admist the chaos. "Well, Things just got interesting, didn't they?" Ken'ichi said, mostly to himself. It had been a while before anyone had seen his Bankai, even longer him using it. It looked like one of those rare occassions when he would need to, to take out the strong one he might even need his mask.

"So, This is the fabled Karakura Town I've heard so much about." Jinichiru said. "Interesting...Go, Kill them all." "Yes Sir!" The Espada called out in unison, in total 4 of the Espada were there. Each of them went off to a different captain or whoever had the strongest spiritual pressure,number 3 went to Baldir, number 4 to Soi Fon, number 5 to Ken'ichi, and number 2 went off into the city, after a stronger Reiatsu. Each of the Espada were at their self appointed targets within minutes. "I am Espada Nùmero Tres(Number Three), Sephir, Not that it will matter. You will soon be dead anyway." Sephir told Baldir as he unsheated his Zanpakuto and proceeded to swing it downward, directly at Baldir's head.

"The name's Fira, Espada Nùmero Quatro. Now, please die quickly." Fira said before swinging her blade at Soi Fon.

The Espada Ken'ichi was facing simply stared at him with a rather blank stare. "I'll assume by that giant black 5 on your shoulder you are number 5?" Ken'ichi asked. The Espada simply grunted. "Can you atleast tell me your name? I want to know the name of the opponent I am about to kill." Another grunt. "Oh well...Be that way. Stab, Tamashi no Karitori!"

[Dark Elsa]

Soi went on alert as she felt the unnatural spike in spiritual pressure. As she was about to say something she saw she was being attacked. Seeing her attacker she looked surprised. It had been a long time sience she had seen Espadas. "A Espada....nice try but you almost had me.." She moved to avoid Fira's attack.

[Morric]

Particles in the air sparked and flashed as Baldir's axe charged with electricity. However, before he could manage to summon another bolt, a shadow was cast down over him. Looking up, he managed just enough of his attention to hear the espada introduce himself before the sword came down toward his head. The lightning defused as the axe moved to defend, clashing with the zanpakuto before it could split his scull. "Well it's about time things got interesting...I was beginning to think this party was a dud!" Stepping to the side, Baldir let his axe fall to his side from the weight of the attack. In a fluid but rigid motion, Baldir rose his buckler to his side and bashed into the attacking espada like a linebacker, with hopes of knocking skyward.

[Drakeonis]

The hollows surrounding Abel exploded away from the sheer spiritual pressure he released upon activating his resurrecćion, the ones that were closest burst into flame. He unsheathed his nodachi and stood perfectly still as he called on his Rastreo to mark out the largest spiritual pressures so he could take them out first. He grit his teeth upon feeling the Espada, that wasn't good. He had a very complicated relationship with them, but he could still use theirFsa arrival to his advantage. Using his sonido he went to intercept the hollow heading in his direction. He stopped in front of it when he identified the bold number two tattoo identify the 2 Espada. "You have to call off these hollows."

[akje]

Ujauja opened his eyes, the bright light from the sun pierced his eyes. All he could hear was a ringing noise and he struggled to get up and balanced.
He looked around dazed, several groups were fighting in the distance. Where was he? He looked up to see the smoldering tower he'd been standing on.
Dazed he came to the conclusion something must have knocked him off.

When he came to he noted the recognizable pressure of the Espada. Good.
Slowly unfolding wings shivered before taking Ujauja back to the skies, from where he could monitor the situation.
How could he take advantage of the situation? Who knocked him of the tower? Who would he be sinking his long bleached teeth in?

[BB]

"What did I do? Okay, so um, like, you're inside me." It was totally blurted out without any thought behind the words, it seemed this girl was bad speaking to other people, at least "casually" like this. You know, being eaten by someone and becoming a construct inside them that was the mental manifestation of you couldn't exactly be called casual, but regardless this was something that had to be talked about. Kaguya didn't want to the poor girl to think she was Jesus, or Buddha, or goodness forbid the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Sky.

Still, that was like, the worst way to say "You're not dead" possible. Seriousily, some people may even consider being trapped inside someone else for all of eternity a worse fate then death, but at least Kaguya was cute. Right? Right? Hopefully Margaret thought she was cute. That was a silver lining. She'd totally bring that up as a silver lining later on. Truly, a master of social contact with other living beings.

"Oh, um, um," She stumbled over herself trying to cover what she said and sugar coat it somehow. Ship had sailed, though.

[LaXnyd]

There was a lot of ways that Margaret could have responded to this. Fear. Anger. Rejection. Denial. Outburst. She could have been angry at Kaguya for having placed her in this situation; she could have expressed her fear of being trapped inside of another being or any other myriad of pathetic, weak willed reactions. She would not do any of those. Instead, she closed her eyes.

"...inside of you?" she repeated to make sense of the situation. Arrancar and Hollow abilities were diverse and varied. Who knew? "...is there any way to get me out?" she asked, beginning with the logical and reasonable questions.

[BB]

Kaguya broke the embrace they shared and floated back, tapping her finger to her chin while contemplating her answer.

"Um, well, it isn't 'exactly' like that. Think of it like this; You're not actually 'here' at all, and the body you have right now totes isn't your body. It's like a construct, like an avatar, but um, not really cause avatars are like physical things and- Wait, no, stay on track Kaguya, stay on track. So like, you're not actually breathing or talking right now, or seeing, or touching, or tasting, or smelling. It's just the way your mind is translating it. It's like the matrix. You've seen the matrix right? Okay I assume you haven't seen the matrix you aren't the type. So like, think of it like this. It's like your dream body, like, you know those astral projection abilities in the manga and video games and stuff? It's like that, and your dream body is in a super hyper realistic dream. Cept' like, it's not real and stuff. Well except this is my dream and not yours. And it's not a dream at all cause this is really happening. And we're both awake so-"

"Okay, nevermind, forget EVERYTHING I said, that was like, a horrible metaphor. Don't know what I was going for with that. Okay, so um, think of it like this."

However this time she seemed to be thinking her response through better.

... Then got a frustrated look and then stared at the non existant floor to think for a few moments.

"So like, you're a ghost, or a projection, or a soul, or a mind, whatever you want to call it. And you're also inside my mind, and um, because of that our "talking" is being translated into these physical interactions and speaking, from your perspective."

"Simple, amiright?"

[LaXnyd]

Margaret had dealt with being dead, then become some sort of ghost with a hole in her chest and a chain. Then she had dealt with being some sort of masked monster and then finally she had dealt with being some sort of half-masked sentient supermonster. She could deal with this stuff. She also had happened to see the Matrix, contrary to Kaguya's expectations, although the two movies after the first one were terrible.

"...sounds simple enough." Margaret said slowly, "But you haven't answered my question."

[BB]

"Oh, right. It's fine. It was just completely broken down into its basic most form and then absorbed into my existence. Safe and sound,"

She held up her right hand and placed her left on her chest before continuing.

"Scouts honor." Then relaxed her body once more, smiling.

"Anyway, I combined your body with mine to get around easier. You don't mind, right? We're sort of in a dangerous place right now, we may need your power. Um, actually, no, we'll be fine, don't worry about it. I've got everything under control."

[LaXnyd]

"...if you say so."

Margaret sighed, realizing that she has gotten herself into a most peculiar situation. It was then that she realized something about what Kaguya had said and began talking again. "A dangerous place?" she asked carefully. "What exactly do you mean? Where did you go after you... well, took my body?"

[BB]

"Well, we're kinda in the heart of soul society. There was a certain stone I had to absorb, but I just did so we're heading to the second objective." The girl sighed, then put a hand on her hip.

"I sorta looked at your memories and caught a few interesting things. Also, on the way out, I detected every single Captain in Gotei 13 show up. So yea. We're ironically probably safer here than there. Besides, I have some business to attend to now."

[LaXnyd]

...In the middle of soul society. What.

"You... you went where!?" Margaret nearly screeched. "Of all the places you could have gone..." Taking a deep breath, Margaret calmed herself If what Kaguya said was true then her statement of being safer here rather than in her flower shop probably ironically held true. "What do you plan to do here? More importantly, why isn't every single shinigami in the entire society jumping you? How are you staying hidden?"

[BB]

"Well, all of them are gone in the first place. Second, I'm absorbing the energy I give of. Absorption is kind of my thing." Her ability was well rounded, if not over specialized. Alone, she was extremely weak, but with intelligence and the proper situation, she could use her abilities to the fullest. Moving around undetected was her specialty, though it left her quite weak to physical attacks.

Kaguya tapped her chin three times with her index finger, apparently in thought.

"Wanna see it?"

[LaXnyd]

See her ability? From this little inside space? Well, she supposed that it would work. She needed to see what kind of situation they were in regardless, after all.

"...yes. I would love to." Margaret answered.

[Die Kill Die]

"The name's Fira, Espada Nùmero Quatro. Now, please die quickly." Fira said before swinging her blade at Soi Fon.

Leaping backward through the sky and landing on a rooftop across from Soi Fon. Fira gave a light giggle, covering her mouth with her sword in hand. "Oh my you're pretty fast huh? A half a second later and you would have been kissed by my Viviana!" Twirling in the manner of a dancer, Fira smiled while she elegantly waved her blade through the air. "But if you insist on staying alive, I'll just have to have some fun! Are you ready?" She asked, sweeping down into a crouch. "I'm coming to kill you now!" Declared Fira in a playful voice as she darted through the air like a spear. in the blink of an eye she was mid spin behind target with her blade curving through the air toward Soi Fon.

"I am Espada Nùmero Tres(Number Three), Sephir, Not that it will matter. You will soon be dead anyway." Sephir told Baldir as he unsheathed his Zanpakuto and proceeded to swing it downward, directly at Baldir's head.

Dashing backward, Sephir nearly avoided being crashed into by the shield Baldir adorned. I suppose I'll have to use a bit more effort to break that twig you call a weapon." Raising his sword, Sephir muttered a small chant. "Hear my voice and rise..." A brilliant flash of golden light shone out from Sephir's blade is it transformed into a slender ankh lined with the viciously curved edge. "Prepare yourself..for you are about to be bestowed the great honor of falling to my might." Waving the ankh through the air, Sephir summoned several ethereal blades of energy that burned the air as they traveled toward Baldir.
