| After years of training, it was finally time... Funduin Ulfbehrt was more ready then ever. His iron will had helped him train intensely for the last two years, and he felt ready to prove himself. With his studybooks depicting Kido instructions and visual presentations of swordplay-patterns flapping in the wind, he ran for the 8th division captains quarters with haste. "I'm so late! So darn late!!" He cursed as he climbed the stairs to the main level of seireitei. He had overslept by almost 8 hours, half a day had gone by, a monster of a mistake on what was supposed to be his very first day as leutenant. He only hoped the captain was kind enough to let him try out once more. He came to a skdding halt in front of the captains quarters, dropped to his knees in respect, and knocked on the door. "Captain Sachiko! F-f-funduin Ulfbehrt reporting for the lieutenants test!" He stuttered nervously, a sight unbecoming of such a large, muscular and powerful-looking man. |

| Strutting herself against the softness of bed sheets rolled up against each other pressed against the wall of the storage closet, fill with other miscellaneous items that would come to use in everyday living within the seireitei. Of course some members would rather take the day off and rest till the day is naught within their dreams. With the sudden burst of foot steps dashing to the scene, she'd open her eyes slightly turning toward the door with the light shimmering through the bottom, a sudden shadow would appear before the door and large knock would erupt from the door itself. Mari would throw herself upward, her hands holding her up as she gripped the edge of the bed sheets looking forward toward the door, hoping to find some distinction in the shadow itself. "Crap they've found me! What should I do?" She said in a soft tone, as she squinted her eyes trying her best to find out when they suddenly spoke. "Captain Sachiko! F-f-funduin Ulfbehrt reporting for the lieutenants test!" In a nervous tone, causing Mari's head to tilt to the side in confusion. Jumping forward from the back of the room to beside the door, she'd grip the door's handle and opening it wide enough that she could reveal herself and the inside of the storage room itself. She'd lower herself, bending her knees and crossing her arms over them. She'd look at the aspiring lieutenant with a bright face of curiosity as she'd pat his head. "Wrong room." She'd say in with a straight face and her cheeks puffed. |

| "Crap!" he blurted. Normally he wouldve appreciated the headpat, but today he was in a hurry, and even forgot to thank the lady as he rushed over to the next door. Upon reaching it, he looked back at the lady and pointed inquisitively at the door as if asking if this was the right one. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Almost as if appearing out of nowhere Jimen Titanicus walked up behind Funduin and slapped him heartily on the back. "BWA HA HA HA HA! Can't even find the right door eh Behrt?!" Jimen continues to slap away at Funduin's back as if he is trying to pund him into the dirt; all the while laughing heartily. "Still trying for that lieutenant position are ye?" Finally the slapping stops as Jimen raises his hand and scratches at his chest followed by smelling his fingers and making a wierd face before proceeding to wipe his fingers on his shirt. |

| "Jim!? Man, its been a while!" Funduin replied through the intense backslappery taking place. "Hell yeah i am, aint nothing gonna stop me this time!" He proclaimed, and at the very same time thought "apart from oversleeping..". He eyed the door and was about to knock when another thought struck him. "What about you? What brings you here?" |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| "Ah. I heard tale of a clumsy galout running about looking for the captain," A large grin spread across Jimen's face "I'm a seated officer here, no need to chase after that lieutenant stuff. Come hang with us grunts." For absolutely no reason Jimen burst out laughing again, his large stomach heaving which each burst of laughter. Jimen bangs loudly on the door and breathes in a deep breath before bellowing, "CAPTAIN! You got a nervous lieutenant waiting out here!" |

| Mari would watch him lift himself up from the ground and suddenly rush off in fear as he tries to find the captains room in a scurry. He looked back toward Mari with a confused look on his face as he points toward the door. But before she can give an answer she's cut off by a large burly man who seems to know the aspiring lieutenant, though he was kinda gross. She'd watch him scratch himself and can see some white things fall to the ground as he'd smell his hand, Mari would flare her nostrils before trying to look away. As she'd listen to the conversation, obviously unable to get back to sleep from their loud voices and something caught her attention. "I'm a seated officer here, no need to chase after that lieutenant stuff. Come hang with us grunts." Mari would pounce into the circle with a cat like grin on her face as she'd scratch her chin and her hair would fall over her chest. "Ho ho, sounds like I should take the chance to take that position and get these lazy bums back into shape." She'd say glaring at the mans stomach. |

| "Loitering in the hallway will not be tolerated in any manner whatsoever! Should you have any business with Lady Sachiko, it will have to wait for her return," a pompous voice interrupted the three shinigami in the midst of their conversation. It would take some take for them to realize where it came from, but eventually it would be Funduin himself to be the first to discover an astoundingly short, petite female shinigami standing before his left knee. In fact, her forehead was on par with his kneecap. The short shinigami had short white hair, cut at her earlobes. On the left side of her hip rested a sheathe dagger, which would presumably be her zanpakuto. In addition to her short stature, the lower part of her shihakusho uniform was custom tailored, which allowed her to move with the speed to avoid any detection. "Hmph! Looks like the academy has taken a special liking to the eighth division by sending the noisy lot of you our way," she added, whilst assuming a position of authority as both her hands resting on her lower back. "I am called Kamiko Gin, secretary to Captain Kikuchi Sachiko, and your commanding officer until her return. I suggest until the time arises, you familiarize yourself with our barracks. This way please," the small shinigami directed with her left hand towards the end of the hallway were the sun light was at its brightest. |

| Jims antics had Funduin smiling. He always had the ability to lift his spirits, even nervous as he was. It didnt help on his nerves however when they were suddenly jumped by a female shinigami. Funduin was about to ask who she was when a pompous voice surprised him. Looking down on the tiny female, he asked himself how a human could possibly grow to stay so small. Then again, he had seen the gate guardians and their titanic size, nothing really surprised him anymore. He listened as she introduced herself, and followed her inside the hallway when promted to. She was a superior officer, and it wasnt his place to question anything she said. However, he noted that Sachiko werent here, and his curiosity got the better of him. "Ma'am, if i may inquire, where did captain Sachiko go? Im pretty sure we had our test scheduled today, i read the manifest twice im certain im not mistaken. Did something happen?" He asked, taking on a more polite tone then usual in respect of his elder. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| A large dumb grin spreads over Jimen's face "My aren't you a tiny one.... Secretary Gin was it?" From his height it was really quite comical how small Kamiko was in comparison and it amused Jimen to no end. Somehow the first shinigami that had presented herself had gone unnoticed to Jimen until now as he looks down at the cat-like Mari who has seemed to take it upon herself to gare at his stomach. "Whip me into shape? HA! This is 100 percent pure muscle; don't let its relaxed state fool you girl." With a hearty swing he slaps his hand against his rounded stomach with a resounding thud and begins his bellowing laugh once again. "BWA HA HA HA HA!" |

| "My aren't you an inquisitive one?" the secretary responds back to Jimen in a sarcastic manner before turning her direction towards Funduin. "That is correct, originally your test was scheduled for today but the captain tends to be forgetful of her appointments hence my title. However today is an exception in that the captain stepped out to investigate a private mat-" She paused near the end of her statement as her eyes shifted to to the left, towards her back. A messenger, knelt down some three feet behind her awaited for her to approach him. The secretary turned around to face the man, receiving a small scroll from him. She unravels the piece of paper to read its contents before neatly rolling it back up into its original form. When she turned back around to face the new recruits, her facial expression changed completely from when they had first met. The secretary was visibly upset, the white strands of hair forming her eyebrows accentuated her angered expression despite her inability to try and keep a straight face. The way she mumbled about while biting her small lips looked more like she was chewing than engrossed in a sugar rush. After realizing that everyone had been awkwardly staring at her for quite some time, she shook her head in embarrassment and collected herself before finally addressed the recruits. "The captain.............has been declared missing in action by the central 47. Until we can confirm whether she is dead or alive, I'm afraid your test will be postponed. Now if you will excuse me," the secretary stated before turning back towards the direction the messenger appeared in, walking away from the recruits. |

| "Hmph! Looks like the academy has taken a special liking to the eighth division by sending the noisy lot of you our way," Mari would laugh through her nose as she looked away for the moment trying not reveal her true emotions out loud toward those who would actually like the position. She was just joking about obtaining it for herself, seeing as she has already planned on a different and much bigger position then that. She threw her arms under her chest crossing them as she listened to their conversation. Suddenly the large man would pierce Mari with his gaze as he proved to have more muscle then fat. As he laid a large slap to his stomach, loud enough to break an eardrum, finishing off with a hardy laugh. A sweat drop would slowly swim down the side of her face as she slowly moved to the side. Her ears perked as she became interested in the little ones conversation. When suddenly the news struck them with surprise. Such news right out of the blue, it had to be something planned or a fluke. Mari would chuckle with a small smile on her face. "Oi, it seems like this is your first task as an aspiring Lieutenant. It feels like fate brought us all here to find out the truth to this matter. I propose that us three as the "Investigators" of this assignment." She said with a proud expression on her face as she placed her hands on her hips. She looked toward the other two hoping that they'd agree and join in the fray to prove their strength in the matter. One as a loyal companion, another as a strong warrior and another as just some lad willing to lend a helping hand. |

| Funduins lips curled into a clever smile as the little lady walked away. He would divulge his plan to Jimen, but as the other female spoke up, she betrayed the very same thoughts that he entertained. "Absolutely! There is no squad better suited, and everyone else in our squad seems to have taken off including our captain. Its up to us!" He said, filled with excitement. He knew they'd probably not be authorized to leave seireitei, nor have permission to release their swords, but Funduin didnt care. Hed defend himself with his forehead if he had to. "I say we drop by Central 47. Maybe we can get them to tell us Captain Sachikos last known position. Although we have to be careful, im sure if the little woman gets wind of our schemes shed come slap us 'round like a cluster of grapes in a hurricane." He said, gesturing with his hands the act of holding up an imaginary cluster of grapes, and slapping the shit out of it with the other hand. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| "BWA HA HA HA HA! That's our Behrt!" Jimen slaps Funduin on the back to show his support of the plan. "Of course you also suggested the same thing little lady" He offered this secondary statement to the shinigami who had actually presented the idea first. Jimen reaches over and puts an army around each of the shinigami and bring them in close so his head is between theirs and 'whispers' in a hushed voice. "We have to be careful but ... last one to central 47...." His sentence is cut short as he leaps onto the rooftops before bellowing out, "HAS CLEANING DUTIES FOR THE NEXT MONTH!!!" |

| "Absolutely! There is no squad better suited, and everyone else in our squad seems to have taken off including our captain. Its up to us!" He shouted with a smile on his face, Mari felt joyful, about to sleep the day away and now already on a mission that will get rid of her boredom. Though alittle annoyed when the larger man said that funduin thought of it when she CLEARLY suggested it. With that she was caught in his grasp as she was pulled in and pressed her face against his own. "Mmmeh....whee, shoulhd hurreh." She tried to speak muffling her words with her face pressed. When suddenly the large man broke forward in a power dash through the hallway, Mari could only tilt hear head in confusion and cause of the prize of losing. "Kukuku....why play nice?" She clenched her fist tightly before plowing down the wall beside her, opening a door to the outside. "Welp it's going to suck for the loser that's for sure~" She spoke with a chuckle as she jumped out and fell purposely toward the ground below, crushing the ground beneath her feet into a crater and tossing debris into the air and around the area. She threw herself in a crouching position before bursting forward leaving a mirage of electricity in her physical position. |
| If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win! — Eren Yaeger |
| "Damnit!" he shouted as both of them thundered ahead without him. He threw himself into the race however, foregoing stealth for a bit of competition. Right before they were about to reach their "finish line", something hit Funduin right in the face. Nothing solid, more like the reiatsu of someone wierd, or as if they just passed headfirst through a barrier of some sort. "Hold on, something seems off" He shouted, and dropped down from the rooftops to sneak through the winding alleys. He made his way to a corner overlooking central 47, and peeked around the corner. There was seemingly nothing out of the ordinary to see, but the pressing feeling of a strong reiatsu still bore down on them, and it came from inside or somewhere close. Not waiting to see if the others were behind, he takes a deep breath and dives in headfirst so to speak, walking out into the open and marching straight for the door. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Jimen had maintained his early lead though he could feel the others gaining on him as the finish line came into view. "AHAHAHAHA FIRST PLACE IS MINE!!!" His sense were not as sharp as Funduins and it was only when Funduin called a halt that Jimen noticed the increasing reitsu pressure emanating from central 47. Jimen halts and drops back to stand behind Funduin as he crouches on the rooftop pouting, "Bah you were gonna lose to, hmph" As Funduin jumps out into the open so does Jimen; standing up straight to show off his giant size as if to intimidate whatever was waiting for them ahead as he walked slightly behind Funduin. |

| Bouncing off and over building after building leaving large craters on the exterior of the buildings, some of them too old to withstand the strength of her push of that they'd just brake off as soon as she jumped. Bits of lightning would pursue her as she took off after each jumped and even coursed her body with quick jolts. Taking a large leap into the sky it'd seem as if she were flying itself, looking downward she can see the building of Central 47 before her, with both of them nearing the finish line. "Tsk, seems like I went easy on them." She spoke to herself as she dropped toward the ground, taking a quick leap forward she'd stretch out her hand from within her long sleeve and gripped the very ground, using her own strength to sling shot and her lightning reiatsu as the rubber band blasting her forward. Breaking barriers as she herself was hard to see without losing her with just a blink she watched as other two stopped before the building, she became curious as to why before being struck by the spiritual pressure, though her own spiritual pressure wasn't off the mark. "How long are you going to stand there admiring the scenery!?" Mari would shout as she grabs her right sleeve, ripping from her kimono itself revealing her entire arm and her shikai already summoned or if it was there the entire time. Sparks would shout from her hand before clenching it into a fist. She'd fly passed them both right through the middle before flinging her fist forward with a large grin on her fist. "Roaring Thunder!" She'd roar as her fist become even brighter as it erupted in electricity, rupturing even the ground beneath her as she struck the front door of the building. Upon impact the loud roar would engulf of the area and echo outward for miles. The door itself was evaporated and replaced with a hole probably three times it's original size, standing withing the smoldering debris Mari would glance back toward the two. "Oi, don't just stop cause the path gained thorns." She'd speak in a more serious yet cautious tone. Curious as to what seems to bring upon this pressure. (If you could put the character creating the pressure. Which is why I didn't put in anything on them.) |

| âIncorrect,â a voice replied to the female shinigamiâs clever metaphor. As the girl turned back to face the wall, she was met with a trio of zanpakuto pointed at her neck all held by shinigami from the eighth division. âDonât even think about it,â the voice added as both Funduin and Jimen were simultaneously met with ten more shinigami completely surrounding them. From out of the dust and rubble of the hole, a tiny figure emerged at a leisurely pace until the sunlight revealed the face of the very same shinigami the trio had met before, Kamiko Gin. âThese are some mighty strong thorns that have appeared in your path, and if I were you, Iâd be an obedient little shinigami and follow us, lest youâd like to deal with a most severe punishment from the central 47. |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| Funduin was left standing there dumbfounded by the girls rashness. Staring into the dusty abyss that was the now open door to Central 47, only to spot the face he least hoped would appear. "Oh crap..." Before he could even react, or do anything, he and Jimen found themselves surrounded. Funduin instantly found Jimens back with his own and prepared for the worst before Gin ordered them to follow them under the threat of punishment. At that point, he relaxed abit. "i...think we should do as she says.." He said, in a manner which made it seem like he feared speaking would cause them to attack if he spoke too abruptly or loudly. Like a tourist in a lions den. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Now Jimen was loud and boisterous but not quite as loud as that. As the doors were blown apart and the shinigami poured out to surround them he found Behrt at his back and was reassured. "I might agree with you on that Behrt. Listen to the ones with the pointy sticks!" Jimen couldn't contain himself, "BWA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA!" |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| As she finished speaking she'd return forward onto their march into the building before multiple blades would reach out toward her neck. She'd flare her nostrils looking up toward the fellow shinigami that possed as a threat before her. Turning her head, looking at the other two also surrounded by mulitple shinigami with their blades at the ready. "Don't even think about it" The familliar voice would strike at them, as shortie, the shinigami from before had returned and appeared before them. With that Mari's eyes widened as a thought crossed her mind. "How the hell did you get here before us!? I swear I saw you going the other direction..." She'd shout with her hand on her head confused before shrugging it off. "Welp, no one saying said about the person in second place having to clean up." She'd speak filled with content as she places her hands on her hips. Ignoring the cries of the little shinigami, turning toward her cowering comrades, not reading the situation. Tilting her head abruptly, she'd turn toward the little shinigami. "Oi oi...that tone doesn't seem like someones worried of their captain...whats your game?" She asked curiously. |
| If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win! — Eren Yaeger |
| The only one that seemed to take the situation seriously was Funduin, whom agreed without hesitation that following Gin’s orders was the best answer. The other two, were a different story as Jimen laugh off the moment while Mari questioned the secretary’s motives. “You’re right, I really could care less where that sloth could be right now but unfortunately I’ve been given a direct order from the captain-commander himself. Which is why I am here,” she responded as she reached into her left sleeve with her right hand, pulling out a white cloth that was now dangling from the sleeve. “This isn’t a choice, but a command, we will investigate the last reported location of Captain Kikuchi Sachiko!” she stated before lifting her left arm upward, and with the motion the white cloth shot out of her sleeve floating above everyone present. She would begin to spin around the cloth as it coiled around everyone present. The last words the three shinigami heard were “Sentan Hakuja!” before they were blinded by a bright white flash. When the shinigami would finally come to, they would find themselves in a lush plain of green grass. In the distance, the remains of what may have been a small cabin, and on the ground, several sections of grass were cut clean from the ground. Clearly a battle had taken place here before. “Welcome to eastern rukongai, the last known site of Captain Sachiko,” the secretary informed the shinigami. |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| Funduin was about to say he didnt object when they were whisked away by a strange technique. Finding himself in unknown territory, he took a look around to try and figure ut where it was. “Welcome to eastern rukongai, the last known site of Captain Sachiko,” "Oh, i was just wondering where this was." He replied, and took another look around. "So this is the place.. i wonder what happened here. Do we have any information to go by? Any witnesses?" He said, and put his unsheathed zanpakutou back in its scabbard. The rusty old thing made a terrible screeching noise when entering its scabbard, like an old chair in need of oil. "Sorry bout that.." He said shyly, scratching the back of his head embarrassed. "Baldr is really really old, and doesnt like going out of his comfy scabbard, nor being put back in. I really dont think he likes to move a whole lot, probably.." he blabbered hastily. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| "...AH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Jimen's gut rumbling laughter continued through the transfer of locations and he barely noticed it all, his eyes squeezed tight with tears of laughter forming in their corners. He wipes his eyes at the screeching of Behrt's zanpakuto. "Ah Behrt at least my old thing doesn't squeal every time i draw him, though he does protest abit." Jimen tugs at his zanpakuto to show how its virtually rusted into its sheath. |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| “Welcome to eastern rukongai, the last known site of Captain Sachiko,” The petite young shinigami would describe as Mari's eyes had opened to a new area, as if instantaneously appearing there. Quickly turning around making sure that the other two had arrived as well and this wasn't just some trap to separate them. "Tsk." Mari would click her teeth as she turned her attention back to the little shinigami. It seemed that she knew more then she intended to reveal in the beginning, if that were the case. Mari shook her head fiercely. "I'll take my chances and scout ahead on my own." Mari spouted walked abruptly past the shinigami before her holding there blades out. |

| While the other shinigami were left to their own devices, Gin meticulously inspected the ground. She was seen crawling throughout the landscape, stopping periodically to scan over a patch of grass. Her right hand floated above the area of her choosing as it emitted a faint light blue glow. "No use....no use...," she muttered to herself as she continued to scan the area. However, minutes later the sound of an alarm interrupted further scanning as she would immediately stand up. "That alarm, if I'm not mistaken that should be coming from.......!!!" Her eyes lit up in suspense due to the conclusion she had arrived at, and immediately issued a command to the other shinigami. "Listen up! An alarm has gone off, and the most likely source of that alarm is the Maggot's Nest. I'm calling fo-, shit!" The sound of a blade ripping through flesh muted the secretary's address. A piece of the small shinigami's shihakusho fell onto the grass, belonging to her left hip, revealing a shallow wound as the shinigami jumped forward, turning to face her enemy. The Adjuchas stood in front of the shinigami, his shadow completely overwhelming the entirety of her body. A hollow with a humanoid muscular build. The body's color was red, and its head, completely covered by a white mask. The mask itself was your standard hollow mask, yet the teeth resembled those of a shark, a great white to be exact. The size of the teeth in comparison to the hollow's face made it look as if his face was just a pair of eyes and a large set of chompers. "Adjuchas class!" she shouted, reaching into her left sleeve with her right hand. "The lot of you, get ready!" "The hollow screeched immediately following the secretary's command, prompting the opening of four gargantas, surrounding the whole group. From out of the gargantas, countless low level hollows spewed out, including a menos grande. |

| Funduin wasted no time, and pulled out the old rusty blade once more. "Cover your eyes!" "Flash to old, Baldr!" he called, and the blade exploded with light so bright it rivaled most military-grade flashbang grenades. Enough to seriously offset your vision for several seconds. When gone, the old blade was replaced by a short, wide viking sword with the name Ulfbehrt inscribed along the blade. In his other hand, a round bronze shield with a sun inscribed on it. Lowering his stance and raising his shield, he placed the blade along the top of shield ready to strike. "The spartans of old prided themselves on their Phalanx formation, time to see if the training has paid off!" He said in a serious tone carrying a hint of excitement. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Seeing Behrt kick into action and knowing what was to come from him Jimen quickly shielded his eyes from the flash. "Bwa ha ha ha! You call that a sword Behrt?!" Jimen places his hand on his hilt to remove it, the old blade resisting at first before he gives it a second much harder pull as it pulls free from the scabbard with a loud crack. "Crack, Bihimosu!" Jimen impales the blade into the ground as the earth rises up and forms around it transforming into into a very large hammer. "Now this is a sword!" |

| Funduin had to laugh, the oversized weapon matched Jimen almost too well. "Lets see it in action then!" A smaller hollow charged towards him, slamming against the shield. With its claws reaching around the shield, it desperately tried to get to Funduin. But to no use, with a great push Funduin slammed the bottom part of the shield upwards cracking the creatures mask. And combining the shield slam with a sword strike into one fluid motion, he used the opening to plant the blade deep in the creatures skull, breaking the mask apart along with the hollow itself. "Atleast the fodder is manageable" He said and raised the shield back into position ready for the next one foolish enough to charge. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| "HAHAHAHA! You call that action Behrt?!" Jimen twirls his hammer above his head before crouching low, gathering power into his legs as he leaps high into the air soaring over the swarm of lower hollows. "Pillars Crash!" In a massive overhead swing Jimen comes crashing back down to earth slamming the hammer into the ground, shockwaves rippling outwards as spiked pillars erupt from the ground in a ring around Jimen impaling several hollow around him. The spikes perfectly puncturing the middle of the masks. "BWA HA HA HA HA HAAA! A satisfying smash always feels good!" |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| Slicing off another hollows leg and arm before crushing its skull in three consecutive swings, Funduin takes a step back and raises his palm towards Jimen. "Jimen! Batter up!" A soft red glow begun emenating from Funduins hand. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south!" "Hado 31, Shakkaho!" he shouted, and sent the swirling orb of red energy blasting off towards his friend. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| A wild grin spread across Jimen's face as he heard the call of 'batter up'. With a mighty swing of his hammer he knocked the spiked pillars down to make way for the shakkaho and saw the red orb heading straight forward. He gripped the hammer with both hands and pulled it back, focusing his reitsu into a shiny coating over the hammer head. With a mighty CRACK Jimen swung the hammer forward and slammed it into the oncoming shakkaho sending it flying straight into the horde of hollow. The red orb becoming a blur of light as it rockets through the horde cutting a clear path through the hollows. However Jimen did not particularly aim as the shakkaho rocketed into the foot of the menos grande. "Oops............" Jimen just kinda sat there with this 'oh shit' look on his face and looked towards Behrt. |
"A sentence is like skirt length. The shorter the better, but it has to cover all of the important bits" - Some guy, learnt from Tali |
| The shakkaho would eventually crash into the tip of the Menos' left foot, exploding upon impact. As the smoke from the explosion cleared, the impact would reveal no extensive damage to the Menos' foot aside from a black smudge. However the contact was enough to irritate the Menos to the point where it directed its attention towards Jimen and Funduin. It would begin to open its mouth as particles of red colored reishi collect in front of its teeth, forming a sphere. The firing of a cero was imminent. ~Meanwhile~ The small shinigami pulled out a tanto from out of her left sleeve. The length of the blade along with her stature was quite matched perfectly, to the point where one might call the combination "perfectly cute," after which the adjuchas would laugh in amusement. "They are even permitting children with toys into their ranks! They must enjoy the slaughter of children if they let them play with adults," the adjuchas proclaimed, readying himself to strike, and so he did, lunging towards the shinigami with its right arm stretched out, aiming to pierce through her face. The shinigami raised her right arm so that the tanto's tip faced her right side, and when the adjuchas came within ten feet, she called her sword's name. "Tear apart! Reiha!" She swung the sword clockwise, and at the same time, an enlarged ghost like samurai sword materialized in front of her, mimicking her swing. (Picture a samurai sword the size of your average household) The sword would cut through the adjuchas arm, severing the limb while cutting through the ground and eventually rising up towards the Menos' face whom had built up a cero. The sword would clash in time with the release of the cero, parrying the cero upwards while shooting down several hollows in the process. The sword would quickly disappear when Gin stopped her tanto, leaving a phantasm like trial behind it. "You two, stay sharp and quick horsing about! We still have several more to go!" She shouted, as the adjuchas got up and began to regenerate its arm..... (Reiha=Soul edge) |

| Funduin started getting worried when he saw the shakkahos path and impact. Much like Jimen, his face was a visage of "oh shi--" upon it. When Gin responded to the Menos however, he felt a surge of confidence return. They could do this. "I am a soldier, i do not horse mam!" He proclaimed respectfully and leapt past her to intercept the far superior Adjuchas class hollow instead of the fodder. Much out of his league, Funduin faced his foe with iron determination. "Flash to old!" he repeated, and slammed the blade sideways against the front of the shield. The clash resulted in a blitz of light similiar to the one upon releasing the blade, blinding the Adjuchas momentarily to create an opening for the superior shinigami as he rolled to a halt behind it and raised his shield in reflex, expecting the adjuchas to strike at him in blinded rage. |

| "Horsing about?" Almost anyone could guess what Jimen was going to say next. "That's not horsing about, THIS is horsing about!" And onwards he went into the fray swinging his massive hammer around as if it were lighter than air. Crushing the heads of hollows this way and that, leaping high into the air one moment and spinning around like a child's spinning top the next. When he was done horsing around a sizable number of the smaller hollow had been cleared away in the process. "Ah now that was funny." |

| And so the Adjuchas did attack blindly after the brilliant flash of light. The hollow flailed its arms about, striking against the Funduin's shield. It's eyes were squinted due to the momentary blindness, however that did not stop it from its relentless onslaught. Gin was hesitant to strike due to the range of her Zanpakuto, out of fear that she may hurt Funduin in the process. Her Zanpakuto has a wide arc of damage unfortunately, which made things impractical. The Menos of before, now irritated from missing its intended target, aimed to shoot another cero at Funduin and the Adjuchas, not caring if it would hit its comrade in the process. This would be Gin's target, or so she decided, shouting towards Jimen, "assist Funduin, I will take care of the Menos, quickly!" She would jump forward, advancing quickly to avoid the hollows until she reached the foot of the Menos. The small shinigami would eventually scale the enormous hollow whilst a vibrant ball of red colored energy shone brightly before its mouth. When she reached the base of the Menos' forehead, she would jump off to throw off the Menos' charging time, falling back down while holding her tanto with both hands as if she were about to perform an overhead slash. That is when the enormous ghost like sword materialized in front of her, comparable in size to your average shinigami barracks. The ghost like sword came down upon the skull of the Menos' cleaving the Menos' head down the middle all the way down to the floor as the hollow would soon perish into reishi. When Gin landed, the Adjuchas had managed to fight off the temporary blindness, having recovered its eyesight. Its swept its right hand backward across its body, firing off three balas with the motion as Jimen approached the two. |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| The beating was brutal. The strikes of an adjuchas class hollow had some weight behind them, weight that threatened to knock Funduins stance out of balance. Without secure footing, his shield was meaningless. "This thing has some strength to it!" He shouted, half to inform the others and half as a cry for help. Then, as he was about to open himself up to an attack in order to land a strike, the beating stopped. The Adjuchas had turned to fire Balas, and Funduins reaction came instinctually and instantly. He thrust forward with his legs as hard as he could, and slammed his shield into the Adjuchas's back. It didnt cause any damage whatsoever, but Funduin hoped it would be enough to knock the creatures aim off target. He then pulled his right arm back, preparing to strike with all his might once the creature reacted. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| For a brief moment when the adjuchas' hand was outstretched ready to fire the bala Jimen simply thought 'oh shit'... and the Behrt kicked him and that oh shit turned into 'oh shit yeah' With a mighty leap, dis-regarding whether or not the bala would hit him, Jimen shunpo'd high into the air above the adjuchas and his resitsu skyrocketed and continued to rise. Anyone with experience would feel that the levels of power emanating from Jimen at this moment would recognise it as the feeling of someone baout to enter bankai......but he didn't. Instead he began a massive overhead swing, raising his hamme rhigh above his head. "Behemoth.....SMASH!!!!!" And he swings, but over swings sending himself into a cartwheel like spin, his hammer leading the spin as he ramps up speed, the hammer gaining power with each revolution as he descends through the air before finally, with incredible precision, crashes the the hammer with all its weight and momentum behind it down onto the adjuchas. A wild grin spread from ear to ear on Jimen's face as he imagined the kind of crate that would appear this time. |

| The combination of Funduin and Jimen proved once again that the two were a match made in heaven as the Adjuchas aim was altered by Funduin shove of his shield, putting him in perfect position to be smashed to bits by Jimen's hammer. Gin could sense the Adjuchas' fading reiatsu, thanking her subordinates for their hard work silently in her head for you see, Gin was not one to give compliments up front. However, something odd appeared to have happened after Jimen lifted his hammer from the Adjuchas' severed skull. A small mass of black energy levitated from inside of the Adjuchas. The small lump of energy floated between both Funduin and Jimen, eventually spreading wide like a mouth ready to swallow its prey into darkness. Gin instinctively gave chase, hoping to make it in time before the two would be swallowed hole. "Its a Garganta! MOVE!" The crackled voice of the shinigami echoed throughout the air as she charged forward. |
| Did you know every time you sigh, a little bit of happiness escapes? ~Senjougahara Hitagi |
| Funduins hand was halfway through with its finishing blow when the orb of energy emerged. His vision blocked by the shield he hid behind, he literally stuck his arm staright into the opening garganta. "Huh?" Peeking out from behind the shield, he saw the opening maw just as he heard Gins voice warning them about it. Seeing half his arm already stuck inside, he barely had time to think "oh crap" before he was yanked through the expanding opening swallowing him up. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| At feel the blow connect and the ground crush into a crate beneath his feet Jimen had already closed his eyes and was laughing his usual laugh. "BWA HA HA HA HA HA!" He barely heard gin warn them in the background and didnt notice anything was amiss until their was this strange pulling sensation, like being sucked by a vacuum cleaner, that made him open his eyes and by then it was far too late. Just like Behrt, Jimen too was sucked through the garganta. |

| After watching from the sidelines since the appearance of the Adjuchas Kaguya decided to act. Not to help them, they did not need that, but to watch over them from the shadows. From their shadows if possible. She had been given the mission from Internal Affairs - to investigate. Something was wrong but they did not know what. Something was wrong and it involved them. It revolved around them. Kaguya was not one to judge a person's choice in a partner, but the idea that an affair could draw danger to them was ludicrous. Ludicrously sexy. Which is why she had accepted the assignment herself, to fawn over the eye candy and subtle hints and precious moments. Being sucked into a garganta violated her assignment. Unless she was somehow caught in it too. Accidentally - the dangers of field work. The thought of the two of them, trapped and alone in Hueco Mundo, only able to count on each other while fighting for their lives made her mouth water and her body tingle. It was delicious. Too delicious. Now that she had a taste, she needed to savour it. Besides, she was only following her orders - internal affairs. Yes, she had to follow her orders. There was a shadowy blur as Kaguya blitz'd across the battlefield at full speed to slip through the garganta before it closed. The hollow did not attack, either unable to see her, or unable to sense her. A bit of both. The only one who noticed any movement was Gin. |

| It was no use, she wasn't even halfway through before the two got sucked up leaving her with the only option to dive into the Garganta before it closed as a horde of hollows followed behind her. The speed with which she advanced grew as she drew closer, but suddenly she felt a slight disturbance, a blur sneaking up from behind which would soon past by her effortlessly. The moment the blur passed her, she knew who it was, and made one last push to catch up as she would refuse to leave those two to the likes of that shinigami. The small shinigami was the last to enter the Garganta as it was closing, through an opening that was in proportion to her size. When she came to, Gin found herself in the middle of a vast desert under the night sky. To her right, Jimen laid face first on top of Funduin perpendicularly while Kaguya stood there watching, or rather salivating over the display as the two would begin to regain there consciousness from the fall. "Vice-captain, I see you are doing a stellar job in keeping the reputation of the second division intact," Gin addressed her, referring to Kaguya's sneaking behind them and joining them in Hueco Mundo. |

| Gin's words did not seem to evoke an immediate reaction. Kaguya was still drooling over the landing scene. She made the right choice coming here, but someone was ruining the moment. "And you are doing a stellar job of finding Captain Sachiko." she snapped, "Besides, i dislike reputations. They are... misleading." No longer hiding, Kaguya removed her hood releasing tresses of silver hair which she tied into a ponytail. She ignored the men for now and walked over to Gin. "Sit." she commanded, "I will heal you," she motioned to Gin's left hip. "I didn't think you could be surprised so easily, or i would have done something. Not sure what exactly - keeping up with the white snake on foot is... difficult - but i would have done something." |

| "Ugh..Bwah! What the hell!" Funduin was finally coming to. And to his horror when he opened his eyes, he found jimens ugly mug right there in front of him. His instinctual reaction was to headbutt the bastard and roll away from the fallout that was sure to come. "Thats NOT the first thing i wanna see when i wake up!" he prescised. |
| "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known" -Carl Edward Sagan |
| Surprisingly, or maybe not really surprising to those who knew him, Jimen did not wake up when Funduin yelled, "Ugh..Bwah! What the hell!" Though he did wake up to the sharp bashing pain of the headbutt that followed and before he was fully awake responded with a headbutt of his own. Luckily for Behrt he had been smart enough to move resulting in Jimen headbutting the sand. "Gah! The hell hit me head?!" Jimen sits up and proceeds to rub his forehead before finally looking around. "I'm going to assume we're not in Soul Society anymore Behrt." |

| "Welcome back to the gotei," the small shinigami sharply retorted whilst she sat before Kaguya, seiza style. "Unfortunately we all have reputations to keep up, including me," she added, referring to her inability to find her captian. "However, having you with us is beyond lucky, now that we've managed to arrive here." Gin cringed in pain throughout the healing process, showing a temporary moment of weakness as the Vice-captain finished patching her up. When the process was done, Gin stood up in order to survey the area but there was almost nothing to point out as a land mark. "Its just sand everywhere, this isn't right, no matter where you are in Hueco Mundo, Las Noches should be visible." She wore a perplexed expression while looking down, pondering at the possibility that, We may be above Las Noches...." |

| Kaguya held her tongue while healing, while she focused the words rolled off her like drops of water. "However, having you with us is beyond lucky, now that we've managed to arrive here." "That almost sounds like a compliment, but then again, so does flattery," The healing finished and Gin was back on her feet, no-one had thought to check where they were yet. We may be above Las Noches...." "What makes you say that? Do you think Las Noches could be buried in sand?" Kaguya starts examining the sand, grabbing a handful and bringing it to her nose to smell. "Yep, that's sand." |
| "If you can't accept the worst - what else will you accept?" "People like to tell me darkness is the absence of light, so i tell them - darkness can only be found in the presence of light" - Amane Chiyo |
| After gettig back up on his feet and having dusted off his proud uniform, funduin was left dumbfounded by the girl smelling the sand. "Uhm, where did she come from?" he asked, but quickly corrected himself. "Mam!" adding the prefix for a superior officer and saluted briefly. He took a moment to take in his surroundings. He had never been to Hueco mundo before, let alone Las Noches itself. He was surprised at how quiet it was, he had imagined hollows everywhere shouting and fighting for position between themselves. |
