!Dawn Approaches!

Midday, it was raining, the sun in large part obscured by the storm clouds as they passed over Karakura town and the abandoned mansion in its outskirts. The mansion, which the residents and their governing body, had named haunted and forsaken, in truth housed something far less sinister than evil spirits and yokai.

After all, while spirits did live within its walls, they were those that protected the delicate balance of souls, rather than those who preyed upon man. Four months ago the shinigami had purified it of the infestation that had built up within its walls and had decided to make it their base of operations given its size. While the building had not been maintained for years, Taikou—the Commander—had ordered that it be cleaned at least on the inside and that barriers be put up to shield the town from the various levels of reiatsu which would normally emanate from the building.

He had made sure they were secure, protected from hollows by kido to conceal their presence, but capable of deploying at any moment. It was a barracks of sorts and while it was not perfect, it was nonetheless an efficient system they had set in place.

Taikou was glad they had found the building. However, they had prepared long enough and he had finally come up with a plan. It was time to act, and so it was that hell butterflies were cast over the premise, contacting each shinigami present that it was time to gather in the entrance hall, which was the biggest area within the building aside from the gym, which they had re-purposed into a sparring field.

Already present when the lot of the arrived, Taikou smiled and greeted each one as they gathered, with the captains arranging further up the mirrored pair of stairs, while their lieutenants stood lower, followed by the various seated officers below them. Taikou stood on the balcony above them all, where they could easily see him and where their attention would naturally be drawn.

Once everyone had arrived, Taikou regarded each one and after a tense moment of silent anticipation, he spoke.

“Today begins our campaign, esteemed captains, lieutenants, and seated officers alike,” he began, voice carrying easily through the chambers fantastic acoustics, lending to him a greater sense of authority, while instilling pride and confidence in his men.

“Those who cast us down must be punished in turn, but we must get to them, and we must be stronger when we face them.”

He looked at each of them in turn before continuing.

“When next we step foot into the Seireitei, we will not be the same shinigami. We will be ready to fight, and when we do, we will win.”

He gave them a moment to absorb that, letting the weight of responsibility settle on their shoulders so that they would know and fully understand their duty. “However, today is not that day. First, we will ascertain the nature of their strength, and to do that we must get to them.”

At this, one of the seated officers stepped forwards and Taikou nodded to him, giving the man permission to speak.

“Sōtaichou-sama, we cannot use senkaimon, so how will we find out way into Soul Society? Are we not trapped here in the World of the Living?”

Taikou nodded his head for the shinigami to step back, giving him a calm assured smile. “Hiroto-san is right, we cannot rely on senkaimon anymore. So I propose that we instead use Garganta or Kumon.”

Hiroto gasped, as did several others. He read looks of shock and confusion on many of those present, but he was undaunted, and his smile remained—confidence unshaken. “We have been sent a message, men. We have been told that we are not strong enough and we have been made to look weak and incapable of change. To truly best our enemies, we must adapt. So first will we capture a hollow and we will force it to grant us passage to the Rukongai.”

Some of the shinigami had incredulous looks and while Taikou did not ignore them, he did not look at them either. “For this task we will split into three groups. This area has an infestation problem, and I intend us to deal with it before we depart. Ah, and to make sure none of you do not take this seriously, it will be a competition. Whomsoever captures the strongest hollow will lead, or be involved in the scouting expedition into the Rukongai.”

He looked to the captains present, and spoke first to Hiroshimoto, “Masumata-san, you will go with Tatasuko-san. Kenpachi, Kawagana, you two are together,” he smiled at them, before continuing, his expression growing more serious.

“Kanai, Xiang, you're with Kenpachi,” he indicated Arina and Sano, “Koshūsuru, Dai sanji, you're with Masumata.”

Finally he indicated Jinzo and two others, “Kurogama, Hōshakō, Serizawa you're coming with me.” He looked at them all, making sure they understood, and then he released a brief burst of reiatsu, opening the doors of the mansion. “We need two hollows and the rest must be purified. When you are done, return here. Now go!”

With that, he vanished...those he had indicated forced to follow behind him. It appeared that their first order of business was to be a hunt.

'Who would do best?' he wondered.

The proceedings were going well, and yet his face looked surprised and intrigued by it all, rather than pleased. Of course, it was all an elaborate act, most of his emotions after all. His attention flitting back and forth between his delicious pet, Zeki, and Archene, Szayeis was taking mental notes of everything going on and everyone present. He even got to see something mildly interesting, a girl who appeared to be a human-prae hybrid. My were those becoming more and more common.

His attention shifting away as he began deciding how to present his 'character' to the others, the incognito nightwalker decided to voice his opinion. “Are...are you sure things will go that smoothly though? After all...isn't that infamous monster in town? The eximius the prae are looking for. He's on all the wanted posters and all over the net. You know the one. Szayeis.” There was a frown on his flesh-puppet's face, and a seemingly genuine tone of worry in his voice. “Or...are we going by the mantra that the enemy of your enemy is your friend?” Following that he fell silent, shuffling his feet slightly, as if uneasy and unsure if he truly wanted to stay. The reality was of course, completely to the contrary, not that it really mattered.

Largely satisfied with the response from their host, Mairyell laid back, smiling slightly and nodding his head. He had to admit, the eccentric shop keeper had won him over—though whether he could truly be trusted well...only time would tell. Speaking of which, what time was it? This in mind he pulled his phone from his pocket and checked the time. He then sent Aeris a message, which read:

'Meeting is going well. First mission is a prison break. Be safe, see you later,' he paused a moment and then, almost reluctantly added a small heart at the end, before sending the message and stowing his phone away.

It was then that their last arrival spoke up. Glancing at the human...or was it hybrid? It was strange, he was getting an odd read off the man. Well, hybrids weren't too horribly uncommon, especially in Ominar, which he had always found a bit odd. Pushing the thought into the back of his mind he found himself frowning at the fellow, clearly disappointed. He wondered why the man had even come if he was going to think like tha--....

His thoughts cut off abruptly as the man said that one abhorrent name. He took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his jaw clenched tightly, his vis spiking ever so slightly. He continued breathing to calm it down, and he forced his eyes closed, if only so no one could see them turning bright crimson.

So what Aeris had said was indeed true, that bastard was in the city.

He'd have to make sure to pay him a little visit.
