Kenny laughed at his description of District 80. It didn't even come close to what life was really like there. He placed a hand on Gio's shoulder, and stopped them both. "I was in district 80, Gio. The things I've done, what I had to do to survive....nobody should go through that. My hood?" He pointed to the hood made of burlap, resting atop his shihakushō. "It is the only remnant I keep from my days there, reminding me of my humble beginnings, as well as what I'm capable of. " Kenny took a breath, and lowered the Hannya half mask, and his hood, showing a scar that ran from forehead to collarbone, just beside his missing eye. "This was a result of beating received daily. Sometimes they had knives. My Seireitei file says I come from district 63, but I didn't go there till I was 140. I was just a kid, but I crawled my way out of that hell for my dream. I know of only one other soul reaper to come from District 80; in fact, we grew up together. The difference is, is he would have died there had he not been adopted. My point is this: there, you don't eat, you starve. You don't fight, you kill. There, it is kill-or-be-killed. Sometimes death is what it takes to get by, other times it's the only way to eat; kill someone and steal their food. My name, like I said, is Kakashi. I was born nameless. In Zaraki District north, your name is earned. Mine means Scarecrow." Again he sighed, and ripped the Shihakushō top away, leaving the hood, mask, and wrapped hands. He turned to District 1, and bade Gio to follow. He was going to teach Gio to survive.

Gio wasnt exactly surprised by his partners "humble beginnings" nor was the fact that he lied so much. If he was speaking the truth now, the lies made a decent amount of sense. It just made getting the job done simpler. well theoretically anyway. But Gio got the feeling that this trip down memory was going to lead to more problems than solutions. the biggest indication of that was when the man took the lead and started beckoning Gio. This was already a ghost hunt. Now he was about to turn it into something else. He sighed but remained silent for now

the mans eyes darted between the three as a grin formed on his face, he then leaped into the air and spun forming a tornado around him that soon dispersed with the man nowhere to be seen. he appeared behind Takeshi then went to slash from left to right and cut his back however disappeared once again and appeared behind Henry, his Zanpakuto coming from the ground up as he aimed to cut up his back before shunpoing away onto a roof only to have Sasha appear behind him and slash her Zanpakuto's at him in a cross formation

Dodging his attack made Henry mumble to himself as he prepared to again go on the offensive. he caught the man spinning in the air forming a tornado that soon vanished with the man nowhere in sight. Henry then caught the man behind Takeshi and soon vanished once again, appearing shortly behind Henry. Looking back at the man with a shocked expression. Henry's Sosa did a quick faint glow, which allowed Henry to shunpo away, but to the man it would look like his attack hit it mark and did more damage than he might have thought, with him seeing Henry fall to the ground, it would even work on his allies. So their reactions would make the illusion more convincing as he hide his Spiritual energy by pulling a Kyokkō over himself.

As the man shunpo'ed behind him he looked back to see him attempt to slice at him, before he could react the man had shunpo'ed away with a fake out. His eyes followed up at the man as he attacked, it looked as if Henry fell to the attack which he could use for his ability for a quick second. As Sasha appeared behind him to attack, Takeshi quickly led the dust towards the man which completely surrounded him with minerals. Let's hope this is the end of it, Takeshi thought as he went into the air ready to attack when he released the man from his ability.

The Seireitei was awfully quiet and soothing, which surprised Gustavo greatly as he imagined that even in the Seireitei's time of rebuilding that it would be filled with soul reapers everywhere he turned. Just recently graduating from the academy he figured that he would at least see the people from his classes, but no one really was around, and while most would be worried or confused, this gave Gustavo a sense a pleasure. Being the kind of person he was, he could even consider this heaven, but he knew that it was probably best to not spend to much time enjoying the quiet, and decided that it was most likely best for him to head over to the head captain's office to request to be assigned to squad 5 in hopes to be one day captain. Once he finally arrived all that he found was a strange Shinigami kneeling on the ground. After a few seconds of silence, and confusion he realized that he hadn't been noticed, so he quietly walked over to the man, tapped him on the shoulder, and awkwardly asked "What exactly are you doing?"

[Jangel13]

Waiting for the head captain to respond to get an assignment same as you" I said softly although I didn't tell him I was kneeling because I was waiting and I didn't want to really disturb him and I figure being in the kneeling position would give me an advantage if he got pissed at me. I looked up at the man wondering who he was although he might have looked vaguely familiar it might have just been because of classes before I joined my squad I couldn't tell

(Fast-Forwarding to District 80 with Nicias' Ok)

By the time they made it to District 80, Kenny had changed into rags from the waist down, even going so far as to use discarded shoes he'd repaired with a piece of string. His customary black wraps around his hand and forearm were sent to Squad 7's barracks along with his Shihakushō and half mask. From the waist up he was wearing a shirt stolen from a scarecrow. For the time being, his arms were bare, and anyone could see why he kept them wrapped. The arms were covered in scars, some being small cuts, others large gashes. The hands themselves were worse. The hands were, as a child, his first, and sometimes only, defence. As such, they bore the brunt of the damage. Bones were in positions where they healed but had only been set during his academy days, cuts and slashes exposed all over his hands, and a few even stretched to his forearm.

"Gio. This is it. Let's get started, but I need to warn you; don't be afraid to use shikai or kidō here. Hold back here, and you die."

[Nicias Askani]

Gio remained relatively silent the entire times. His outfit had changed from his standard getup to a tattered, uneven pair of shorts. complete with blood stains. He had his own sets of scars though they werent as numerous a Kenny's. They were from his time at the academy and that random as hell hollow invasion... His Long Silver hair was let out down his back and dirtied. He moved his zanpakuto to his back, beneath his hair. Kenny told him not to be afraid to use his shikai... while good advice for survival it wasnt good for the mission. there was some grey area that Gio planned to work with, but actual kido would give him away as a shinigami and that was a death sentence at the same time. The good news was that there wasnt many significant spiritual pressures around. He could sense all the souls around him even if they didnt have significant spiritual pressure. what that meant to him was these people were physically dangerous, like with what ever swords they found around here and or just brute strength. Niether of which Gio was good at dealing with. But considering he had the advantage in SPiritual pressure it wasnt a total disadvantage. He walked to the left of Kenny, a half step behind, With his eyes closed. he sought out any spiritual pressure that didnt fit the norm...

The man before Gustavo maintained his position, even though it seemed that no one was going to come to the door anytime soon. He was either a complete idiot, or extremely polite, either of which were possible in Gustavo's eyes, yet he could respect the effort none the less. The silence continued, and it was relaxing yet unusually tense, as if the slightest noise would result in their deaths. They both seemed to let the silence continue as if it was completely normal, until Gustavo continued, "Well in that case let me introduce my self my name is Gustavo Vazquez, and may I ask of yours?" Gustavo bowed slightly to show his respect even though he could tell that the man clearly wasn't a higher ranked official.

I stood up bowing back "A pleasure Gustavo, my name is Angelo Ortega. im the newest member in squad two but I don't have any missions to do so I came here to ask for one." I said softly knowing I might have seemed strange to him so I thought explaining would relieve some of the tension in the area. "If its not to much trouble to ask, what squad are you with?" I asked thinking if nothing else I should get to know some people and since he was the first to talk to me he seemed like a good person to know. I could only hope that I get a mission from someone since last time I heard squad two was down a captain.

Aya listened to the mans words with a curious look on her face hearing test which she could only assume meant a fight, which she started to reach for her Zanpakuto with a smile until he said he was just the messenger which then made her pot as she lowered her hand. " So I'm the one testing this ranked person? Couldn't you get Fumio to do it? He is a higher rank then me. Maybe less powerful but a higher rank none the less." Aya said as Leaf and Stem started to have a little argument which Aya sat back and watched until another man came along with pieces of Metal attached to his face. She even went up to him and poked the metal parts and stared at them with awe, before stepping back. "We were waiting for some person to come for me to test them or something like that, or they will test me, one of those two Blue Bot."

"Hey watch it four eyes!!!! And to answer your question, I was delivering a message to these fine ladies before you rudely interrupted." Kagemiya said before turning back to Aya. "In response to your question, someone special is going to be taking care of him so don't you worry about that. Oops, I left one small but crucial spec of information out. I've already told you what happens if you win but if you lose however, .....I'll just let the challenger explain that to you heh heh." The green haired man chuckled as Aya walked over to Malenshiho and began poking the metal parts of his face. "I suggest you do not meddle with something you do not quite understand. And I'm not a Bot, but a Shinigami that walks, talks and thinks just like you do. This metal only keeps me from losing my spiritual powers and having both parts damaged will aid in the process of having my Reiatsu sealed away forever. The material used in making it is extremely hard to shatter but I'm still iffy about it being touched since it already has been reinforced a few times over. Not to mention, I don't know you plus you just poke people out the blue apparently so that's a no no, got it uhhh what's your name?"

[Zane620]

"If I lose? So that means my opponent is strong!" Hearing this made Aya giggle and prance in place with her Spiritual energy rising a bit in excitement, but a frown quickly replaced it as Blue bot didn't seem to like her poking or her nickname. "But Blue bottttt it fits youuuuuuuu. You should be more like Leaf, she likes it...... What about you Stem?" Aya said moving over and poking Stem now giggling turning her attention towards the blue hair man. "I am Aya Oda Seventh Seat of Squad Eight. Or according to you, I am the poker of Squad Eight. So am I testing you Blue bot? I hope so you look strong and that's always a goood sign, it means much more fun for me." Aya said grinning still poking Stem.

[DeathstrokeSW]

District 80. Though he had been born here, grown here, it was not a stroll he wanted to take. At least, not until he had become Captain. But that position was a long way off, and in his eyes, this was the first real step towards that goal since he had gone through the academy. This mission could not, would not deter that.

He turned down a side street, heading for a black house with decades old dried blood on the door. Over his shoulder, he saw his compatriot raise an eyebrow. "This isn't my former home. This is the home of an old...I guess you could call him an acquaintance." He said as he walked inside, greeting an old, blind man by name; a rare sight considering their location. "Sandeyuri. It's Kakashi, the boy you named scarecrow. We're looking for your son. We're looking for Sayuri."

The old man started up from his cot, excited. He walked as if he had eyes, and clasped Kenny like a father hugging his long lost son, then slapped him in the face. "140 years and no word?! Not one letter?! Sayuri may be my child by birth but YOU are my son. And a Shinigami too, by your Reiatsu. If you're looking for Sayuri, try the brothel. If he isn't there, try District 63. He hates you though. You remember what he did to you as kids."

Rio Okotaru Darishimo

Rio continued to run closer and closer towards the Seireitei, her thoughts occupied with how she could get stronger without her Zanpakuto's considering the fact that they refused to help her. 'Limit? That's impossible... This much power is not my limit no matter what they say.... It can't be true,...I WILL NOT LET IT BE TRUE! I NEED POWER TO FIND KAIZO!' Her eyes became ferice with determination, her mind settling on paying a visit to her Captain. 'He'll be able to help me'.

She entered the Seireitei, booming through the pathways towards Squad six when she was stopped by bumping into a random shinigami in the way. "S-sorry ma'am!" Spoke the member, scrambling to pick up papers that he had dropped onto the floor. Rio had fell on her ass and glared at the member as a reflex but soon her eyes softened a touch and she stood, gathering up the rest of the papers to hand to him. "Don't worry about it, just make sure you're aware of your surrounding at all times..." She didn't smile, still in a bit of a rush. The member bowed, revealing two other members behind him, a little bit further down the pathway. Rio paid no attention to these, until she noticed one of them staring at her in complete shock. 'What is his problem?' Her face held onto it's neutral state as she looked away, turning and about to take off before a hand in her hair forced her to stop.

Fumio Hari Kouineji & Souta Fushimaru

Fumio continued to stare in shock. Her bluey-black her, plum eyes, porcelain skin and her trademark expression... "Th-that's..." He whispered, Souta feeling uneasy about this entire situation knowing what would happen next. He chose to keep quiet however and let what was going to happen, happen... Fumio continued to watch the girl until it came to the point that the member she had bumped into had ran off, leaving only her. Her gaze directed at him, causing his heart to stop for a moment. After all of this time, she was right under his nose all along... Within the Gotei 13. He wasn't expecting the reaction he received... which was none. This caused his eyes to widen further and a small gasp to leave his lips. "Yeah... I've seen her before... She looked right at me too... I don't think she know's who we are anymore..." Souta voiced quietly, a hint of sadness in his tone. But then, he looked to his left... Fumio was no where to be found.

All three

"UN!" Rio let out a noise in pain as her hair had been pulled to stop her from moving. "Do you know who I am Huerona?..." Fumio seethed through grit teeth. "Wha-!" "KAZUHIKO!" He had shunpo'ed with Rio in his grip, leaving Souta behind. The latter stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop Fumio but was too late... They were already gone. "DAMMIT!" Souta yelled, clenching his fists in rage. "...Now now.. Just calm down Souta" The smell of applewood filled the area, causing Souta to look behind him... His eyes widening by the second. "You..."

[AbigailTenshi]

Rio Okotaru Darishimo & Fumio Hari Kouineji

Fumio and Rio reappeared in the middle of a forest. Immediately, Fumio threw Rio in front of him, watching as her body skid across the hard dirt, kicking up quite a bit of dust, enough to make Rio cough. Her eyes opened slowly, narrowing at Fumio as she slowly got to her feet. The latter, however, had a gaze or pure hatred pinned onto Rio, his teeth grit and bearing as a growl rolled out of his mouth, almost like an angered dog.

"Your time has come Huerona.... 14..." Rio's eyes widened at the number while Fumio unsheathed his Zanpakuto, pointing the tip of his blade towards her left ankle. "H-How did yo-" "Know?... I know who you are... very well... I can't believe you've forgotten ME!" At that second, Fumio launched off of his back foot towards Rio, his Zanpakuto hilt gripped with both hands as he swung it to his right. He looked thirsty for blood... More specifically Rio's blood. The girl had no idea what was happening, however knew she had to defend herself quickly. Drawing both of her Zanpakuto's, she crossed them in front of her face, just in time to block Fumio's attack.

During the close proximity, Rio noticed the look of utter anger on the guy's face but then a tear left his eye, making her eyebrows shoot up in confusion... "Wh-who are you?... Wh-" "Arrrrg... Shut Up!" Fumio's voice had became harsh as he lifted his Zanpakuto back, behind his head before slamming it down again onto Rio's blades twice. "STOP! TALKING!" The force caused Rio to drop onto her knees but she still managed to hold the block. Fumio's head then tilted forward, his hair covering his eyes before he stepped backwards slowly, sliding his blade off of hers. Ridgedly, he continued to step backwards before stopping, giving himself some space while putting a little distance between the two of them. Rio watched, wide-eyed and a little scared... Clearly this guy knew something about her but she knew nothing about him... Also, he was trying to kill her, what could possibly of happened?! Standing up herself, she took a breath to calm herself as her eyes settled into a stern look, piercing through Fumio. She was not going to take this situation lightly and would defend herself as much as she possibly could.

Suddenly, a burst of crystal silver energy erupted out of the guy, streaks of red wrapped around it, the colour of blood... A ring of wind followed promptly, blowing Rio's hair and clothes back violently while tearing through the trees. Rio still maintained her stare during... 'He's really not playing around...' She noticed the guy's brilliant-red hair wave about within the energy, revealing the guy's own enraged, deadly serious glare whilst more silent tears flew out of his eyes. Slowly, he lifted his black and red Zanpakuto straight out in front of him, pointing it at Rio again. "Kesshō no sōsei... Gaishō" Fumio whispered. Light enveloped his blade, causing Rio to cover her eyes for a split second before watching as it grew, encasing the entire blade as well as the guy's right hand in pure black and silver crystal. "Well then..." Rio spoke, tilting her head down also. "Show your truth in the darkness of light, HanaKan" She uttered, her own blades surrounding in light before revealing their Shikai state. Rio then looked up, noticing Fumio take four steps closer to her. This made Rio abruptly jump into the air, her palms open and close together as her thumbs held onto the handles of her Shikai. "Hadō Number 31 Shakkahō!" She released a medium sized red orb before firing it straight at Fumio. The latter, however, responded by looking up, raising his Shikai blade up and over his head before bringing it down forcefully, releasing an arc of crystal that travelled towards Rio's Kido blast. It absorbed the Kido while continuing to travel towards the Rio. She narrowly dodged the crystal arc by turning her body to the left, the arc travelling passed her before exploding in the air. "What?" She quietly questioned before abruptly diverting her attention back onto Fumio who had launched into the air, his blade ready to pierce her stomach. Rio blocked the attack with the black bars of her Shikai. Fumio's eyes seemed to just grow with more rage while releasing more conflicting tears by the second. Lifting his blade back, he began swinging with force at Rio, the latter blocking each swing however the power was pushing her back each time. "You won't survive Huerona." Fumio growled, continuing to push Rio back while adding more strength to his swings. Rio only kept focused on not giving him an opening to attack, ignoring what he was saying.

Chie Oda & Sieg Oda & Naozane

After her little time with Fumio she decided to practice her Hado's in a safe location, where she wouldn't have to worry about harming any people, besides the off chance she could use them on any Hollows that came along, so she headed off towards the forest and found a rather destroyed looking spot she could practice in. She started out with the lower numbers before she went up to the more powerful Hado's. A few hollows came along due to the noise but she was able to kill them rather easily. She was rather happy about her progress, maybe even with the Hado's she learned she may be able to beat up Fumio, she grinned at this thought and was about to go back to practicing when clapping started to echo the area she was in, with a large male with Red hair and a Black suit came into sight with a smaller male with red hair following besides him. "Ahhh nice flashy moves there. You truly grew up nice and well haven't you my little sister?" The man said which cause Chie to look at him with a shocked look with sweat starting to run down her face. It quickly turned to anger however as she pointed her hand at the man. "Hadō #63. Raikōhō!!" Yellow electricity started to charge around her hand before firing off towards her brother, however the shorter Red hair male stepped in front of the attack, pulling out a knife he held it vertically in front of him. "Devour, Don'yoku kujira" The knife grew a bit and seemed to stop the Hado itself, until the boy pointed it at Chie and released his Reiatsu at her which she dodged into the air only to see her brother in the air behind her and before she could react he gripped her behind the head and propelled himself towards the ground slamming her face straight into the earth. Now sister, that isnt any way to greet your big brother now is it? You truly have changed though, I remember you pissing your pants as a little girl, and now you are hot headed. You are still a weakling though, our entire family is weak, that's why they needed to be purged my little sister. do you understand this?"

Kaien. The name felt unusual despite it being his. He was used to people referring to him as "boy" or some insult. After all, when one comes from district 80, he gets used to being nameless. But he wasn't nameless, not anymore. Not since he had literally fought and killed his way out of that hell. Kaien sighed and looked down at his trembling hand, a symptom of his ever constant, ceaseless rage. Clenching his fist, he shook his head and moved on; now wasn't the time to relive his origins. He had a purpose, a singular objective: join a squad. One squad, in particular, actually.

He stopped walking and broke into a run, he sword poised diagonally (think like Hitsugaya carries his) over his right shoulder. The orange sash holding the sheath in place was the only bright color amidst his grey wrappings that covered his torso and the black pants of the Shihakushō that was his clothing for the waist down.

Stopping at Squad Eleven's barracks, he knocked on the door. Do-or-die time.

[AbigailTenshi]

~ Fight Time-skip ~

Rio's body crashed onto the hard dirt, creating a creator beneath her. Streams of blood dripped down her forehead while more blood splattered onto the floor as she coughed violently. Fumio had lowered to the floor promptly after, blood pouring down his face from a slice across his left cheek while more blood dripped down his left hand. Both of them looked in bad shape, however Rio was much much worse. She heard steps moving closer to her from behind, however she didn't have enough energy to escape... Fumio's hand grabbed Rio by her hair and dragged her out of the creator. Grunts and small whimpers of pain left the girl's mouth as she lifted her hands up to try and pry his hands off of her hair.

Fumio suddenly stopped and let her go, causing her body to fall limp onto the ground. She turned her head, eyes as wide as they could possibly go as she struggled to get away. Her breathing becoming erratic. 'N-No! This Can't Be The End!-" "OW!" Fumio stomped on her left leg, forcing Rio to stop and glare dangerously at him. "Get The Fuck Off Of Me" "SHUT UP!" Fumio responded huskily, leaning down to grab Rio by her throat with his right hand, lifting her up a little. Rio's hands moved to his wrists as she struggled to pull him off. "... Look at yourself... Pathetic" Fumio watched her struggle, already having stuck his Shikai into the ground. Currently, he held a crystal in his left hand. "You should know the drill Huerona... As a member of the clan... I-I'm..." Fumio suddenly felt himself hesitate, shaking his head to force his anger back and halt his thinking. He then held the crystal above Rio's right eye. She looked at it and then at him... frightened. She was completely terrified of what he was planning to do next... "Wh-wha... N-no.. pl-" "How many times do I have to say SHUT UP-!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Rio screamed as the crystal was plunged into her eye, blood splattering all over Fumio's face.

He had plunged it in halfway before ever so slowly pushing it in deeper, making the pain even more excruciating. He watched without blinking, unable to tear his eyes off of this sight. Tears soon poured down Rio's face from her left eye, bloody tears poured down her right... She was even more desperate to get him off of her right now, feeling the crystal inch closer and closer to her brain. Her screams made her throat red-raw as she continued to pull his hand off of her neck. Frantically moving her right hand onto the ground, she quickly felt around for Hana or Kan. 'YES!' She found Kan and grabbed just below the main blade before thrusting it into Fumio's right side within a millisecond. This, of course, forced Fumio to let go and retract back, his hands covering the wound as blood flowed out continuously. Rio took this chance to escape, grabbing her other Zanpakuto before shunpo'ing.
~
She ran as fast as she could, a splitting headache slicing through the right side of her head as she limped. However, now wasn't the time to think about the pain as she could feel Fumio slowly but surely catching up. 'G-g-got... to get.. a-away' Rio thought shakily, unable to breath with only her left eye to rely on for vision. It was extremely difficult, but she managed.
~
Fumio watched her leave, holding his right side. Rio had cut him rather deeply, but that didn't stop him from pulling his blade out of the dirt and following her. His speed had decreased dramatically due to his wounds but so did Rio's. His right hand cradled the right side of his body as his firer gaze pinpointed Rio's location. She had been shunpo'ing, but only a few times as her energy was running low. He would of shunpo'ed but decided now was not the right time, atleast not until he had spotted her run into the Seireitei. Fumio didn't actually take them extremely far from the Seireitei after all, he only took them to an open space within a forest. 'Shit... I can't let her escape. I must kill her....'
~
Rio darted through the pathways as fast as she could, avoiding everyone. She didn't want to get stopped as she could still feel Fumio following her. The second she had caught sight of Squad 6, she shunpo'ed inside, right outside her room. Bursting through the door, she fell onto the floor but quickly sat up while grabbing her hair and trying to conceal her screams of agony. Her head hurt so bloody much...

"Found You!" Fumio had shunpo'ed to her door, his blade raised. "Finally! There's no escape! I'LL END YOU RIGHT NOW!" He didn't care for where they were, all he cared about was killing Rio.

Rio's life flashed before her eye... Well, the part that she could remember... Fumio's blade seemed to be reflected in her eye as she was staring right at her death. "Th-this... really is it..." She looked down, accepting the truth finally before her eye drifted closed. "... So be it..." Lifting her face up, she surrendered her body, ready for what was coming. An unnoticeable small smile rested on her lips... Despite all of this, she'd finally be set free of everything... She wouldn't have to worry about her memories coming to bite her in the butt anymore... Besides, she always wanted to die with a smile more than a frown... she didn't know why, but she just did.

Fumio just stood there and watched her... surrender... 'STOP HESITATING! JUST DO IT!' He screamed inside his mind, trying to move his blade forward as his eyes widened with anger... But it just wouldn't. He couldn't... Just couldn't do it... To see her surrender like this broke him instantly. He knew her well and also knew that she'd rather die than surrender... That must of meant she accepted death but... "Kazuhiko... stop..." Souta grabbed his left arm, lowering it along with his blade. "So-Souta" "Had enough yet Prince?" Another voice spoke, causing Fumio to turn his face to his right. Shock again overtook his body. "R-Ronda?" The woman stood there with a slight frown and walked passed Fumio, looking at Rio. Bending down in front of her, Ronda spoke again, her voice softer. "You can relax now... Open your eye" Rio heard the familiar voice as her eye fluttered open. "...You again..." She spoke in an unimpressed tone, a frown adding to her bloody features. Ronda stood and turned around, looking at Fumio. "What made you hesitate? I would of thought that you'd kill her at any chance you'd get." Fumio grit his teeth at this as his expression became enraged again. "I-...I can't.... Do this anymore... She doesn't deserve to die" His expression soon turned to sadness as tears poured out of his eyes again uncontrollably. "I've had enough of killing people close to me... I've killed the majority of Marked... But I'm done with this... I'm not like that woman... I can't kill Huerona... Sh-she even surrendered... Just like Souta.... B-but... N-no more!" He shook his head violently before running out of the room, trying to control his tears but doing a poor job of it.

Souta looked at Ronda then at Rio before back at Ronda. Both him and Ronda nodded before he ran out of the room after Fumio. "KAZUHIKO! WAIT!"

Rio just sat on the floor, utterly confused. Her head continued to ache harshly which caused her to let out another whimper of pain before abruptly grabbing her head again. Ronda looked down at her, walking over before tapping the point of the crystal, causing the outside of it to shatter but still leaving Rio with a crystal for an eye, a crystal eye... Bloody tears continued to leak out of her right eye but the pain began fading slowly. Atleast now she was able to close both eyes. She had both squeezed shut for a while as she waited for the pain to pass, but as soon as she opened them again, Ronda was gone and her door was closed. Rio looked around, still only able to see out of her left eye to find that she was all alone as usual.... '... What in the world... Just happened?....' Dumbfound Rio was... utterly dumbfounded...

Expllo said
As the man shunpo'ed behind him he looked back to see him attempt to slice at him, before he could react the man had shunpo'ed away with a fake out. His eyes followed up at the man as he attacked, it looked as if Henry fell to the attack which he could use for his ability for a quick second. As Sasha appeared behind him to attack, Takeshi quickly led the dust towards the man which completely surrounded him with minerals. , Takeshi thought as he went into the air ready to attack when he released the man from his ability.

The man watched as dust appeared around him, raising an eye brow at this as he was completely surrounded by minerals "Tch! what the hell is this?" The man rammed his Zanpakuto into the roof he was standing on then caused the part of the roof under his feet to collapse as he fell through, then a wall from the house exploded as he shunpoed out of it, he appeared in the middle of the three and slammed the tip of his Zanpakuto into the dirt then began slowly cutting around him making a circle around him in the dirt " lets see you get away from this one!" The man lifted his Zanpakuto from the dirt then stabbed in dead infront of him into the ground as a vicious wind kicked up sending dust flying everywhere, the circle around the man began to glow as a grin formed on his face "there is no time for you to run anymore....you best make your final wishes cause you're all de-" Before the man could say anymore a line down the middle of the mans body appeared then the man fell in two, the wind dying down revealling a being behind him wielding a giant weapon



" Well that was getting boring...typical of a weak being like a Shinigami and whats this? three more even weaker ones? Tsk Tsk Tsk this wont do...Oh well, I suppose I can have some fun with you weaklings. Let me introduce myself. I will be your executioner today, Saguri...I feel you should at least know the name of the man who is going to kill you...so let's get started shall we? " The man grinned then threw his giant weapon high into the air then used Shunpo to appear high in the air above them all, his fists had a red glow around them as he then began punching down at them all firing off many red orbs of energy, each one releasing a powerful shockwave as it was released, the orbs weren't accurate but they covered a large area, and dodging them would be difficult due to the speed they moved at. Saguri continued to punch and release these red orbs then he suddenly stopped and caught his weapon and slashed down releasing a truly gigantic blast of energy that carried so much power that it released it's own spiritual pressure

Henry who was hiding in the Kyyoko watched with his weapons ready for an opening the strike the wind arcs managed to miss him but not by much, yet then the man split in two, which cause Henry to wonder what was going on until he saw a man, wielding a rather giant weapon. When the man started speaking Henry grit his teeth and came out of the Kyyoko as it was easy for the man to tell he was hiding in it. The man went on about being their executioner, and with how easy the individual killed their target, that could very well happen. Yet what came as a shock was the man throwing his weapon in the air and shunpoing up and started to rain down red orbs around them. One of the orbs managed to hit Henry's left arm, which all he could assume was that it shattered his bones in it as his grip released Sosa, which made Henry catch the dagger in his mouth with his eyes widening at the giant blast of energy coming their way, yet what shocked him most was it carrying its own Spiritual Pressure. Just by seeing this Henry could tell they had no chance at winning. Moving his right arm up to grab a hold of the dagger he shunpoed closer to the other two. "Well I see two things we can do. Try to retreat. Or one of us can go and bring any Captain over here asap, I think you know that we have a very high chance at dying."

Kaizo had continued to run from the Seireitei, the gotei 13, his friends, his rival...everything...he was forced into doing this but he had no choice either way. it was run or die and he wasn't prepared to die...not yet. Kaizo could feel the Shinigami closing in on him as he made it through the forest and into a mountainous area which he began to shunpo through when a large Shinigami came into view, almost as if he had been waiting for him this entire time, this caused Kaizo to skid to a stop, the dust from the ground floating into the air past him as the man looked at Kaizo and cracked his knuckles "Well looks like I'm getting a promotion for finding you, now I just have to beat you into a near death state and take you back...simple seeing as I'm seated and well...you were unseated." a grin formed on the mans face where as a frown formed on Kaizo's "If you think you can stop me then try it...but you will not catch me! I would soon rather die trying to escape free than to simply give up and die...but fine...if you think you have a single chance in hell of stopping me then come at me..." Kaizo took of the top half of his uniform, letting it hang around his waist as he waited for the man to attack and sure enough he did, the man shunpoed and appeared infront of Kaizo, his right fist flying towards Kaizo's face only to see Kaizo duck his punch and take a large step closer to the man, holding his body low as he threw his right fist into the mans gut and carried him with his fist until it reached it's limit in range which caused the man to fly off Kaizo's fist and crash into the floor. Kaizo stood up straight then walked towards the man "Get up..." No response was given from the man, he just laid there on the ground covered in dust "Hey! did you hear me!? I said get up!" Kaizo stopped and looked at the man and realized he had knocked him out in one punch but the question was how? Kaizo clearly must of punched the man harder than he expected causing the man to feel excruciating pain which then caused him to pass out. Kaizo let out a sigh then looked behind him and grit his teeth "Dammit! they're already catching up!" Kaizo then broke into a sprint and soon after that into rapid shunpoing as the clouds became a heavy grey and began pouring down with rain, Kaizo knew he had to keep running but this was thing...how long would he have to run for until he found this Juki?...it could be for years...the Soul Society was a truly massive place

The man before Gustavo maintained his position, even though it seemed that no one was going to come to the door anytime soon. He was either a complete idiot, or extremely polite, either of which were possible in Gustavo's eyes, yet he could respect the effort none the less. The silence continued, and it was relaxing yet unusually tense, as if the slightest noise would result in their deaths. They both seemed to let the silence continue as if it was completely normal, until Gustavo continued, "Well in that case let me introduce my self my name is Gustavo Vazquez, and may I ask of yours?" Gustavo bowed slightly to show his respect even though he could tell that the man clearly wasn't a higher ranked official.

I stood up bowing back "A pleasure Gustavo, my name is Angelo Ortega. im the newest member in squad two but I don't have any missions to do so I came here to ask for one." I said softly knowing I might have seemed strange to him so I thought explaining would relieve some of the tension in the area. "If its not to much trouble to ask, what squad are you with?" I asked thinking if nothing else I should get to know some people and since he was the first to talk to me he seemed like a good person to know. I could only hope that I get a mission from someone since last time I heard squad two was down a captain.

Shinji heard a knock at his door then he heard chatting outside of it a few seconds after which made him raise an eye brow but his expression soon turned to a neutral one as he spoke "Enter!" it seemed that Shinji got a lot of people coming to him these days which really he should of expected seeing as he was the Head Captain but this was happening a lot more than he first thought...a lot more. Maybe it would die down once the Squads became filled with Captains...hopefully anyway...
