Hollow Fiesta

Subject: Hollow Fiesta Fri Sep 27, 2013 9:19 am

A Garagunta tore wide open on the North side of Kagamino City. The opening of the Black cavity, resembled someone's throat being ripped open. Black spiritual blood in a metaphorical sense flowed from it. The gaping hole, the throat that was cut wide open revealed a certain Arrancar. This man stepping out into the skies, walking on Reishi, which appeared invisible at this point in time. Cigarette smoke shrouded his presence on this wonderful day. The spiritual pressure of the Arrancar, whom turned out to be an Espada weighed down on the area. The air around the town suddenly become heavy and stifling. This would most likely become unbearable for some, but this Arrancar did not care. In all honesty, the man was hoping someone of worth would take notice.

Teal colored eyes surveyed the area, searching for signs of life. The cigarette that the Jackal had been smoking came to an end. It soon fell from the man's lip, carried away in the wind. At this present moment in time, the Garagunta that opened up, was two hundred and forty three meters above ground. The teal colored hair of the Jackal flowed in the winds. The man had a blank expression on his face. He was still searching, still wanting it seems. The two other Espada that tagged along may be doing the same thing. The Segunda, the Tercera and the Cuatra Espada. To think three powerful individual as they would show themselves like this. The Jackal paused for a moment, his right index finger pointing downward. The man was taking in the surroundings first, enjoying these moments.

The Jackal closed his eyes for a moment and activated his pesquisa. Actually, it was always active. The Espada instead chose to expand on its range. And by doing so, the man noticed at least five other souls within the area. All five could prove to be of some form of amusement. The Jackal had now begun to wonder whether or not the Shinigami would rear their ugly heads. It was there job to protect the world of the living. And when a presence such as the Segunda made an appearance. It was always in their best interest to exercise a bit of caution and deal with it promptly. That was assuming they could even manage to do such a thing.

"I pass no judgment if destruction is a mere appetizer. My tongue may be absent words, but my thoughts overflow with promise of slaughter". The Segunda stated, hoping that his fellow Espada would find meaning in his words.

First, there was light. At the end of the dark void light had consumed his sight entirely, but he did not blink nor shield his eyes. Chilly cyan eyes peered on as the radiant light dissipated into a light blue firmament, clouds scattered here and there rushing across the sky by means of the wind.

Next was the sound, the wind was blowing swiftly causing his silver hair and white attire to become slaves to it's influence, resulting in a muffled sound to be produced. Stepping out onto the air itself supporting his body with a small floor of reishi, the fox breathed in the cold air that was normal for the altitude of his standing. It was...pleasant. He preferred the cold to any other temperature, making his favorite seasons fall and winter.

Truco had arrived in the 'World of the Living', but he wasn't alone. He had joined the Segunda and Cuatra espada on this little trip. Soon the air in their vicinity changed. Turning his gaze to the Segunda, he was allowing his presence to be noticed easily to probably attract an opponent like a moth to a flame. But their were three of them, all espada, all high ranking. Simply put, this was a very ferocious flame to play with, one to not leave you burned but to completely incinerate you, leaving not even ashes as proof of your existence. The Segunda's words were simple to understand, he didn't care if they started spreading destruction and chaos. Also that he was looking for an outlet for his emotions and thoughts.

The fox was merely staring down into the city below, his face placid, his pesquisa had been open since the meeting with the Cero. So he felt the spiritual signals in the area but he wasn't truly interested. He was just here to alleviate his boredom which was gone at the moment he arrived. So fighting someone was on his mind, he would just go about it in a differing manner from the Segunda's way. Glancing towards each espada in order of rank before looking down towards the city again. "The ones around here don't seem like much of anything." The fox planned to look in a different area for someone to occupy his interest.

The appearance of the powerful Arrancar in the human world was a bit surprising for whoever was there as it wasn't something you'd see every day. Well, actually, seeing any kind of an Arrancar in the human world was a rarity. Those who did manage to witness the appearance of Arrancar in the human world were advised to stay away at a safe distance and try not to do anything as it might get them killed. But, this wasn't apparently one of those times when the Arrancar would randomly show up due to no special reason whatsoever. Indeed, the little short speech made by one of them certainly made it obvious as what were they intending to do. How sad. Before these men were Hollows, mindless beasts who sought endless supplies of souls, controlled by their hunger. Now that they have finally evolved and ascended to their former human self, after countless battles, they actually wanted to cause more destruction. Oh well, apparently not all of them have evolved beyond their beastly stage.

Either way, their plans were not going to go as smoothly as they intended it. Three Arrancars possessing a high level of power were standing there and waiting for someone to come, whoever came had to bring more people or face certain death. Well, the person who intended on foiling their plans was actually alone. Yep, he was a fool. Even so he could not just sit back and wait for someone else to take this case instead of him, he had to do something and so he did. Before arriving to this location he had just left Karakura town where he met a special human. It was a nice little meeting and the step technique he used at that moment led him quite close to Kagamino city so he was able to detect the power coming from these creatures. Based on the fact that he could detect their power, it was quite obvious that they wanted to be found by someone. The black haired Quincy did not know who they were looking for, but he decided to show up anyways. With another step he moved past the buildings and the roads, quickly reaching the location where this men were waiting. Right as he arrived he could see them above him, quite a few meters away as well. Indeed, he was directly bellow them, on the ground.

In an instant a bow spawned in the left arm of the Quincy. He wanted to say something, but since they were over two hundred meters away there was no chance for them to hear him. Of course, shouting was an option. But, he was a mortal so if he shouted something the rest of the mortals that were in this area would hear him and he would have made a fool out of himself. Even though he was not of this world anymore, the black haired Quincy apparently did care about what others thought of him. Either way, now that his bow was spawned, not wasting even a second since its formation, the black haired Quincy would aim it up and unleash a volley of arrows at the three Arrancar. Each one was targeted by five of them and if they did not move or do anything, their feet would be impaled by all of the projectiles that were fired at them. This would cause them to lose their legs as the arrows would pierce their joints and such, you know, the important stuff required for moving. Immobilizing a target was a got start up strategy.

The Hollow fiesta was growing into just that. The enigmatic Segunda was joined by Truco, the Tercera, while awaiting the loudest of the Espada to make his appearance. The man had yet to truly arrive on the scene, but no matter. There they were, while the Jackal cooked up thoughts, that would be instrumental in what might happen in a few moments. He was more than happy to sit back and wait. Someone was bound to turn up on the scene, and that's exactly what the Segunda was hoping for. Hopefully the person or persons that showed up would be fun. The Jackal was out to have a bit of fun. There was however a lack of consistency, that the writer of the above post produced. Since if these Arrancar were in fact two hundred meters above ground. What was so special about his hearing, that he could so clearly hear their conversation? Two hundred meters was some distance away. Interestingly enough, said writer admitted that if he were to say something, the Arrancar would not hear him. His words would not reach them, due to the distance, unless he shouted no doubt. Further on in the news, it should be noted that there was an intruder.

A man whom chose to go on the offensive, without a second thought. Manifesting his powers, that sent attacks possessing a spiritual essence in the direction of the Arrancar trio, that was currently a duo. The attack was perhaps swift, one does not know. Perhaps it was slow? Perhaps in between? One cannot be too sure, but that didn't deter the Segunda from stepping out of harms way. Not exactly step, the Arrancar had performed a sideways somersault in the opposite direction of Truco. The things that came the Jackal's way could only be described as arrows. And during the time of the Segunda's swift somersault, his eyes glanced downward at the aggressor. Quincy filth. The actions taken by the one known to his fellow Arrancar as Wolfgang ensured his safety. The man quickly landed on his feet once again, everything in tact. The strange arrows passed by where the man once stood.

Meanwhile, the teal colored hair Arrancar found much amusement in the unprovoked assault. But no matter, the Espada was ready for a fight if that's what the man wanted. Quincy loved the idea of fighting from a distance. Then again, Wolfgang really had no reason to even get any closer. He would leave the black haired man to reveal a great deal to them. The Jackal now had a tracker on the assailant's spiritual pressure. That manifestation of his bow, plus the numerous steps, while faint wasn't ignored. Nor did it go without notice either. So what now?

Subject: Re: Hollow Fiesta Tue Oct 01, 2013 1:40 pm

It seemed that someone had answered the Segunda's call. Immediately, the fox noticed the one to challenge the power of an arrancar. A foolish move. Looking down as the salvo of blue arrows bursted towards his and the Segunda's current position, in a swift motion he leaped to the side, away from his fellow espada, dodging the attack. His icy eyes simply watching the blue arrows soar farther into the sky, like they were mere fireworks. A Quincy, well this was a topic in the meeting. To acquire information on our enemies. But...was that really an attempt to wound them? So straightforward and simple. Turning his gaze over to the Quincy below them, a slight frown displayed. This opponent had just lost the Tercera's interest. "Hm, Segunda. I'll leave the Quincy for you, I'm sure you'd prefer it one on one. I'll go hunt elsewhere.

With that the Tercera would vanish, emitting a static tone within the area. Who knew where the fox would head to. No matter where, he would make sure to bring despair with him. He hoped that some interesting individuals would be around. Maybe there was a nice town nearby that rhymed with harakura or something.

OOC: sorry short post, had to leave. I so wanted to cause some chaos...T.T...and break a few Quincy bones...>_>

OOC: Kay

With ease his attacks were dodged by the two Arrancar, while the third one didn't even show up yet so those last five arrow just passed near the entrance into the Garganta, not hitting anyone or anything. Once the arrows passed their targets they would once more disperse into mere spiritual particles as their master was quite a few meters away from them and to be honest, he didn't care about them since they didn't hit anything. Instead, he focused on the spiritual particles surrounding him. Without a second thought he would once more use his right hand to pull the string of his bow, gathering more reishi and preparing for another assault. To the Arrancar this might have seemed like a pointless thing to do, but he had his reasons for doing it. At the moment when the two Arrancar would land and reach their new spots, the black haired Quincy would have already gathered enough spiritual particles for his attack, he was ready to fire another volley of arrows. But, for some reason one of the men decided to leave at that moment. That however didn't stop the Quincy.

As he was gathering the spiritual particles for his new attack the Quincy would have already decided that he would strike the man who did not have ears like a fox and then his friend, so his aim was already on him anyways. Of course, it was because he didn't know if the other one will dodge his attack or not and changing the target was too much of a hustle. As if it really mattered which one would he kill first? They would both die. Indeed, not die as in die and be reborn, but die as in get their spirit completely destroyed so that they may never return to this world again. Yep, the Quincy definition of dying was much different to what others had in mind. So, anyways, as his target switched his position, the black haired male would release a new volley of arrows constructed from spiritual particles. Like mentioned before, he finished his preparations at the moment when his target landed, so his attack would occur not even a second after the Arrancar landed on a particle platform a dozen meters away from his previous position.

However, unlike last time, all fifteen arrows were headed towards one person, the Arrancar who remained there and not the one who didn't even arrive, nor the one who just left. They were arrows fired from a bow, so their speed was that of...arrows. Well, if one had to be technical about it, Akira was a professional level bowman, so they were as fast as arrows fired from your typical professional level bowman? Well, since they were fired upwards and the distance was really large, they would get slower and slower by the second. In the end it'd be as if someone threw a sharp rock at the Arrancar from a thirty meter distance. The only reason why the'd pierce anything was the fact that they were made out of spiritual particles. Otherwise, if these were normal arrows, they wouldn't do much really. This sort of an attack was child's play for those Arrancars. But, the Quincy apparently had some sort of a plan if he was doing something like this. The distance between him and the Arrancar would probably increase if he kept doing this as each time the Arrancar moved to the side away from his previous spot he would further increase the distance between himself and the Quincy who still stayed at the same spot.

Subject: Re: Hollow Fiesta Fri Oct 04, 2013 12:52 am

Safely he landed and out of arms way. How strange an opponent this would be assailant turned out to be. No word of a warning, before commencing what is donated as nothing but hostility. For Wolfgang, this was most refreshing, since it reminded him of Hueco Mundo. The pure white sandy deserts, while beautiful sheltered a lot of savagery. The Quincy's sudden attack or assault if you will was nothing new. Wolfgang had grown accustomed to it. But even then this highly intellectual beast still found in amusement in the petty things. One must ask the question. Would a Shinigami have responded in such a way? Another thing, what was it with the Quincy hating on the Arrancar? This was an age old story, one not to be dwell on. The reasoning wasn't important, the intention however needed attention. Wolfgang simply could not allow himself to be struck down by the Quincy. The teal colored hair Arrancar would do well to get closer. Maybe have a little conversation while doing battle? In actual fact, it has been eons since Wolfgang had to resort to drastic measures. And over the past millennium, the Quincy race had grown exponentially stronger.

A troublesome predicament to be apart of indeed. As stated previously, Wolfgang, also known as The Jackal had eyes on the Quincy since the first set of arrows. With this simple fact in mind, it was by no coincidence that Wolfgang saw what was about to come next. The arm pulling back on the despicable bow of the Quincy. A sure sign of another attack to come. And based on the pattern seen so far. The Quincy wanted to make sure not to give the Arrancar a moment's rest. This is why Wolfgang decided not to move this time round. The man stood his ground, as a certain dark opaque energy was expelled from his entire being, forming a sphere around the Arrancar. The resulting effect of said sphere being the nullification of the Quincy's arrows. All of them which came his way clashed with the opposing force of the Arrancar. As this happened, the arrows dispersed into nothing, leaving behind not a single trace of their existence. The Jackal now boasted a most stoic expression on his face. His hand dipping into his flack jacket, while removing a cigarette. Which was soon lit up, before a man expelled a small amount of smoke. Nothing to obscure his vision and the like. The smoke would not cause an hindrance in any way to the Arrancar.

Meanwhile, the sphere maintained its form the whole time as Wolfgang watched the Quincy. By now the Tercera was long since gone. But do note Wolfgang had performed these countermeasures before any arrow could struck him.

OOC: Will try to make the next post better. I was in a rush.

Subject: Re: Hollow Fiesta Mon Oct 14, 2013 5:30 am

The Jackal had decided to make a move this time round. The idea was to go on the offensive, just to see what this wretched Quincy had to offer. There he was in his little bubble so to speak, protected by the 'Card Trick' ability. The sphere standing strong, meanwhile a Cero blast begun to generated on the left index finger of the Segunda Espada. The Espada had the Quincy in his sight, as the man apparently remained stood in the same position. A masterful sonido caused Wolfgang to vanish, his form soon reappearing a good ten meters behind the Quincy man. The sphere's shield dropped for but a mere moment as a violent Cero was released in the path of the Quincy. The blast was massive, since the Jackal had used a bit of time to charge the blast. The happened during his transition from standing still to performing the Sonido. The Cero possessed not only power, but speed, since many would deem it to be the Jackal's specialty. The Jackal would no doubt be on the look out for a counter. Even before the man had decided to appear behind the Quincy. Wolfgang was most definitely finding out what the Quincy was all about now. The Espada was suddenly now intrigued, and with every waking moment, his excitement grew. Wolfgang had simply visited the world of the living for one reason. And that was to do some sight seeing and let off a bit of steam. After what happened during the most recent meeting with Armonia. The Jackal felt as if the Cero Espada had insulted quite a few of her own men. The woman was running the risk of an insurrection. The deserts of Hueco Mundo has a great deal to offer. There are still powerful Arrancars out there in the vast deserts. The white sandy plains of Hueco Mundo was where the strong survives and the weak perish. Those whom cannot lead tend to follow, often parading as part of a clique. Such is the way an Espada and their Fraccion party are set up. Fortunately for Wolfgang, he was very much a leader of one of power too.

Subject: Re: Hollow Fiesta Tue Oct 15, 2013 6:13 am

[I am having a lack of motivation at the moment. That's why I didn't post till now.]

Before the barrage of arrows could do anything to the man, he used some sort of an ability to generate a barrier of some kind around him and prevent the attack from reaching him. However, when the arrows got blocked, they also seemed to disperse. That was not something that should have happened and it caught the Quincy by surprise. He knew that the Arrancar were capable of using special abilities since there were more akin to Shinigami than Hollow. But, something like this was a bit too much. Since this was his first time seeing something like this he was not quite sure how the Arrancar did what he did. Was the barrier constructed in a way that it could also be used to inflict damage to what it came in contact with or was there something else? Either way, now that he knew that there was something odd about that barrier, Ichiro decided to be a tad more careful when dealing with this person. Getting close to him was not an option so attacking from far away was the best thing he could do.

However, before he could come up with a new attack pattern the Arrancar decided to go on the offense. Ichiro was fine with this. He knew that at the current range even his attacks were not going to do much to this Arrancar so now that he decided to approach closer it was time for the fight to actually start. Luckily for the Quincy, the range between him and the Arrancar was over 250 meters and even if the Arrancar used his high speed technique to cross this distance, the Quincy still had a second or so to do something. Using his sensing abilities he would track the Arrancar while he pulled the string of his bow once more. This second that he had was simply used to prepare another attack, which was somewhat different than the previous ones. Ichiro needed to check something and this next attack was going to provide him with the necessary data. Just to be sure nothing serious would happen, he also activated his defensive Blut, the Blut Vene to provide himself with a skin filled with reishi that could guard against quite a few attacks. Out of all the Quincy that he knew, he was the one with the strongest Blut, so this Arrancar was in for a surprise.

Just as Ichiro suspected, the Arrancar decided to take on the offensive. He appeared right behind the Quincy and fired a powerful beam of energy towards his direction. Not only that it was powerful, it was also quite fast. If the black haired male wanted to do something, he had to do it fast. Since he wasn't sure how powerful this Cero is, he decided to guard against it instead of relying on his Blut. Although, based on the fact that it would take this Cero less than a second to reach him, you could say that he didn't quite have much time to spare. However, all he had to do is let lose of the string that he was holding and that was it. Indeed and he did it, right when his opponent appeared behind him. This would cause a beast of water to emerge from the cross and clash into the Cero just fifteen centimeters before the Cero reached its master. Since he didn't have much time, the beast which he invoked hadn't even full formed. Not that it actually mattered since the important part was out. Yep, its super sharp teeth and that giant hammer that the hammerhead sharks were so proud of.

However, since this Cero was rather powerful, it took care of the shark that Ichiro had summoned for the cost of it being swallowed by it as well. In the other words, the two attacks of equal power canceled each other out. Luckily, this shark was large enough so that it shielded his master completely with his body. Even though he did, the clothing on his back still was somewhat scorched by the heat that was produced from the blast of energy. Being a Quincy, he was quite used to killing Hollow and some did use the Cero technique so he was somewhat familiar with it. But, this one was among the most powerful ones which he had ever clashed against. In fact he never actually had clashed with one so powerful, so it was in fact the strongest one. But, now was not the time to be admiring it. After he had released the before mentioned string, the black haired Quincy would use that same right hand to pull a single silver tube from his belt, right during the clash of the two powerful techniques.

The next thing the Quincy did was saying a couple of words, using a calm and loud enough tone for the Arrancar to hear him. "I would advise you to leave right away or you will get hurt, Arrancar. There is no way for you to win this and I am not in the killing mood."

Subject: Re: Hollow Fiesta Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:24 am

The Cero had ripped forth from Wolfgang's being, but instead of clashing with the enemy completely. The Cero blast came up against some opposition if you will. This came much to the delight of the Jackal. Now that the Quincy showed that there was more to him than meets the eye. The Segunda Espada felt it was his duty to prolong this fight even longer. But something interrupted the Espada. One could describe it as a sharp blade slicing through his thought process. His most basic instincts for battle bellowed for Wolfgang to be elsewhere. The eyes of the Espada narrowed somewhat, his unoccupied hand clenching into a fist. Call it animal instinct, but the Jackal was sensing something. A voice called out to the man, telling him to stop. And despite the Quincy spewing his less than convincing words, the Jackal did thought about halting his progress. The Cero blast subsided, and the smoke began to clear. All the while though, the Jackal was as vigilant as ever. The man couldn't afford the Quincy to get the drop on him. No, things wasn't going to work like that at all. On the other hand the Espada knew that he needed to be elsewhere. If only his fellow Espada would turn up now. Then he could be certain of a number of things. "Hold your tongue! Or I shall see it so that your mouth will be absent it. Arrow firing ass wipes have no business meddling in Arrancar business. Thankfully I am being summoned by a higher power it would seem. As such I will take my leave, Quincy". Wolfgang was bold and direct, all the while paying close attention to the Quincy. The hand with the clenched fist soon unfolded. And with a careful flick of the wrist and an extension of the index finger. A Garagunta ripped open behind Wolfgang, and no doubt the Quincy would be able to see it too. With this, the Jackal moved backward, stepping inside the Garagunta. A Reishi platform having already formed beneath the Arrancar. "Until next time. I think I forgot to turn the gas off". That should perhaps explain why the Espada was deciding to take his leave. At the same time and for the whole time, the Arrancar remained vigilant. The Garagunta would begin to close slowly, and after finally closing, it would mark the temporary retreat of the Espada. That is assuming he would be allowed to leave uninterrupted.

[Short.]

As if anyone will buy that, was what the black haired Quincy thought when the Arrancar explained to him why he had to leave. Well, not that he actually carted as to why someone like that had to leave since the goal he was after was accomplished. Akira had came here to get rid of a threat and he had completed that goal since one of the Arrancars left somewhere and was never heard from again and this one decided to leave after having his attack completely blocked while making up a ridiculous excuse for it. Regardless of his excuse, he left and the threat was gone, for now at least. Though, the black haired Quincy did expect him to be back at some point in the future, people like him liked to finish what they started. Hopefully the next fight wont be at a largely populated area, since then people could actually get hurt. This time the danger was averted since Akira decided to block the attack instead of dodging it and letting it blow up whatever was in its path. Since he was on the ground, there were buildings around him and such a Cero could do a lot of damage. Either way, now that he was done he would turn around and use his own portal to leave this realm and head towards his own.
