Dog eat dog world, the vegetarian edition Akando / Astrid JT

[Astrid Vess]

The Rukongai and it's wilderness was such a comfortable place when the weather permitted. When Astrid had first arrived it'd been in the middle of snowing and it was definitely colder than the minimum temperature to create it. To her immense disappointment it had stayed that way for couple weeks past that until FINALLY lukewarm weather showed itself and with it came something akin to 40's and 50's as far as the weather was concerned. It wasn't the peak but damn if it wasn't better than the former weather she had. Today was resting pretty steadily at the 50's range and Astrid was living up like she was invited to a grand ball. Even going so far as to roll around in the vegetation in the wilderness regardless of it's potential downsides.



Thus even now Astrid was covered in twigs, leaves, the remains of several types of berry pulp and smelled immensely of earth. A bit on the moist side which admittedly was irking but given the snow had melted only a few days ago there was no way the ground was going to be dry yet. And not after it was abuot a 1 foot worth of snow at it's tallest. Still Astrid and her canine companion had been wandering around and skirting the edges of the 80th rukongais. Effectively walking around the entirety of the Rukongai slowly but surely. Thus even her feedings had been pretty well spread out and with the abundant wildlife Astrid had found it very easy to keep a lower profile until she found plus that peaked her appetite or curiosity. Given some of them seemed to create orbs of pure reiatsu or had other signs of curious reiatsu.



Obviously she'd not sensed it, her canine companion was the one that had. However it did lead her to them and each time Astrid had to admit she grew more curious. Was this however soul started? Learning to make orbs of reiatsu and then subsequently go to magic? Or were there others who didn't know it as well or couldn't use it? She didn't know and the rukongai wasn't exactly the place to be when it came to learning about shinigami afterall. If anything she was seeing the worst of the worst and had been fortunate not to run into anything considers "dangerous" by plus's standards. I.E. mafia or other gang members. Or random bases of them. Hell she hadn't even seen another shinigami since Shawn. Which that alone made her curious and confused. Shinigami were supposed to be everywhere. And a few of her resurfaced memories pointed heavily toward that. So where were they?



That was part of the reason Astrid had been keeping a lower profile than she'd have wanted. It did help that she'd gains a significant amount of mental clarity. And her hunger pangs while intense at times did occasionally get satisfied for a semi-decent amount of time. She was steadily growing to 2 hours that she could do other things but eat. And be coherent in thought. It was an incredibly curious time in her life that she wasn't 100% certain she understood. Still she would figure it out eventually but that would be when she finally decided to go back. For now she was sort of on the prowl for something in particular. Hollows. Granted the reason for it was due to an old memory of hers but she recalled that the farther out one got the more likely you'd run into hollows.



And it seemed like she should have been far enough out to have met several by now. And yet with her wandering and low profile she actually had managed to avoid the hollows in the area normally. On accident of course but still. I'm not leaving. . . not until. . one is found. Where? Still not here. . hmmm. . . At the current moment Astrid was simply riding on her canine hollows backside let it walk her around the edge of village after village before intermingling with the forested areas and general wilderness. One thing she did have to admit though was that she was very fond of the wilderness here even if she saw nothing interesting. She'd seen wetlands, partially frozen, forests, plains, even a couple farms. It was interesting and so vastly different than the forest she was from.



That was of course obvious for several reasons but still. She enjoyed it. And the comfortable quiet. No screaming voices. Generally not many others around. And the presence of life was there and it's brutal reminders but that was hidden behind the beauty of nature in general. Astrid had even gone so far as to pick up a few flowers of different kinds as they'd walked around. Those were sticking out from between her tendrils in various spots. Her arms, legs, even on her back in a few places. It was nice. But even still she needed to find some hollows. Speak to them. Get some sort of knowledge as to where they were and what packs were around. Because even as she didn't believe it, she hoped that maybe Eridrox had actually survived. Maybe he'd feigned his death before she died. Just maybe. But she'd have to find a damn hollow first and apparently they'd become rare so thus her treck continued. Little did she know she'd find quite a curious one in her excursions today.

[Akando Bena]

It was a much warmer day today, a breeze blowing through the never sleeping forest full of Hollows, Pluses, and Beast Clansmen. It was a perfect day for the hunting taking place, predator skulking in the shadows waiting for prey that it may engorge itself on. Smelling the air it catches the scent of a group of nearby prey, Drool dribbles from his open maw as he begins moving towards the unsuspecting victims.



Three Shinigami walk through a path between the trees of the Wild's surrounding the outside of the 80th Rukongai. Unaware of the danger that lurks nearby, ready to devoure them at a moments notice. Conversing among themselves the fail to even spot the reiatsu signature of the Hollow close to their location, therefore ignoring the danger that will be leading to therir demise. Of the group one was a female with long red hair, one was a female with sort golden hair, and the final member of that group was a tall male with short brown hair and a mustache.



Akando peeked his face out of the shadow, the female Shinigami with long red hair finally spotted the danger and let out a shrill scream full of fear. It was decided who was his first target within that very moment. Rushing out of the tree cover the Wendigo Hollow that was Akando rammed into that female Shinigami, essentially lifting her off ground and shoving her away from the allies that may have helped.



Once Akando was about 100 feet down the path with the Shinigami still hanging in his antlers, he slammed her into the ground. Lifting his head up he immediately cuts off her only way of escape, literally. With her legs now laying a few feet away from where they used to be attached, she let's out a yell of pain. This was cut short as Akando finished the job by clamping his jaw around her throat, thus crushing her windpipe and getting rid off her ability to breath.



Angry and afraid the two remaining Shinigami finally catch up to the Wendigo, only to see the remaining hand of their friend get swallowed whole. "Mmmm, Finger licken good", this masculine voice would be what the two Shinigami hear before he turns his full attention on them. Usually Akando preferred one on one fights, however, in this case he could tell there wasn't going to be much of a problem facing both of these Soul Reapers at the same time.



Letting out a howl of rage the male Shinigami charges at Akando, swinging his sword downwards in an attempt to slice his head into two. With the difference in speed the Wendigo easily avoids this attack. Clearly not expecting the Hollow to dodge, neither Shinigami react immediately, finally snapping out of her stupor the blonde haired female Shinigami makes her first move. In an attempt to aid her partner she rushes Akando on his right side aiming to run him through. Suffice it to say this plan failed miserably, in fact Akando maneuvers in such a way that the attack both misses and he's able to launch a quick slash with his right claw.



With the attack landing the remaining female Shinigami would find herself missing her left arm, lucky for her it didn't seem to be her main sword wielding arm. Crying out in pain the male Shinigami ducks around her trying for another slash at Akando, this time the attack coming from the left but still aimed at his head. Yet again the Wendigo easily dances his way around the blade, allowing the the male Shinigami to attempt striking him over and over again, dodging each time.



Beginning to tire of this little dance, Akando lunges forward after yet another failed slash attack. Catching the male Shinigami in the gut with his left horn causing the swordsmen to fly at a tree on the left side of the path. The male Shinigami would strike the tree pretty hard nearly falling unconscious but completely dazed. Trying to stand back up he holds his sword shakily, pointing it at Akando before speaking, "Your life as a Hollow will end today, I will see to that." Hearing those words his partner snapped back to reality, letting loose a scream before swinging with her sword from the right at Akando.



As he doesn't really understand what the male Shinigami has just said, Akando tilts his head toward the left at him. This does not mean he was ignorant of the yelling and movement of the swordswoman. Ducking under the blade rather nimbly for such a large creature, Akando lashes out at her one more time with his right claw. This attack needless to say struck true and opened her neck up to the world, thus causing her to fall backwards. Outraged the male Soul Reaper would charge at Akando, but to his dismay the Wendigo was already moving towards him.



Tired of waiting and ravenous beyond belief, Akando wanted to eat now. Rushing towards the last Shinigami who also was currently charging at him, they meet up much sooner than the Soul Reaper thought they would. Actually, the fight was already over, as in his current state of mind Akando simply bit the head of the Shinigami completely off. Stopping to chew for a moment the body of that Soul Reaper would finally fall to the ground where it would remain until Akando began to feast. And feast he did, starting with the second Shinigami he killed he would eat until nothing was left before moving on to the last body. Never full and always starving, eating was the only time he feels even slightly satisfied, but sadly the hunger always returns the moment he stops eating. The real question remains, what else in this forest awaits the loosed Wendigo? and what else can he feast on before returning to the one he knows as master?

{Consumed}Class 8 Shinigami X3

[Astrid Vess]

Astrid was continuing to lay on her canine companion when they heard the shrill scream. Astrid immediately perked up, knowing the sound of that scream. Someone was getting attacked! That meant it was a hollow or something else that was after another person. And if she wasn't quick she'd never find out who or what was causing the scream to occur in the first place. Thus without any delay Astrid motioned for the canine companion to race towards the scream. She needed it to be a hollow. It didn't matter what kind or who it was. As long as she found one hollow. It could know what was going on. Maybe it'd know of Eridrox. Or if nothing else maybe there was another roaming pack of hollows that she could join with. Do something like her memories showed her. Strangely though she never saw herself only the others of her pack.



Still something told Astrid she couldn't be without some level of care and thus created 3 sigils. One on each hand and one in the center of her chest cavity. This way she'd have the means to shift her position if everything went to shit. Who knows? It could be another shinigami after all. This would be immediately dashed away as Astrid and her companion joined the fray. And by join the fray I mean arrive not even fashionably late. Instead they found Akando nearly done eating the two would be corpses. Though having left the swords alone for obvious reasons gave away what he was eating. . . . Helpful. No extra's to stop talk. Will wait until done. Then speak. Thus she had her companion remain still but ready to move at a moments notice. Still even she could tell it wasn't certain if this was the right idea.



Akando after all was an 8 foot monster on all fours. That was almost bigger than the serpent that Astrid could summon. She had to admit there was a part of her that was impressed. She'd yet to see something else that big . . . Barring that fucking dragon in Hueco Mundo. But she didn't want to think on that THING. It was a hollow but definitely not the sort of hollow she was used to. Still Astrid did have to wonder how it finished off these shinigami so quickly. Even she'd struggled with Shawn, as far as finishing him off. Wynne was much the same. Cornered, struggling. But not being beaten until at least a good five minutes or so after the start of the fight. Meanwhile they'd ran for maybe two at the most and he was already done and about to be finished eating.



Still for better or worse she wasn't as concerned as she should be. Akando was a big boi. A horribly smelling boi. But that was fine. She smelled like wet earth with a bit of plant life. Many in Hell were not fans of that smell. Then again though that was likely due to the Forest of Suicide being composed of a lot of blood, Viscera, and other bodily fluids. It didn't smell good to a LOT of creatures there that were the beasts of hell or Astrid herself. Either way she was curious how this one would react and act in general. Not all hollows were the same after all. So how would this one be? And would they be willing to share any information of what was going on in the area? Would they know even know anything? For now it didn't matter, she'd simply wait for him to be done and then see where they went.

[Akando Bena]

Akando began cleaning himself, licking the blood and viscera that currently covered his fur from the feast he just devoured. Even though he mostly has the mind of an animal, it doesn't mean he enjoys being filthy. The only reason he should smell is from the naturally awful odor he gives off, the odor he has long since blocked and barely registers. The problem of course is even with him blocking out his own smell, it doesn't stop the fact his odor naturally covers most other smells in the area, thus his senses aren't good enough yet to completely bypass that odor to smell danger or threats that may be close by.



That said the odor doesn't impair all of his natural senses, perking his head up Akando could have sworn he just heard a twig break. Was it something nearby that wanted him dead? Was it prey that escaped his original notice while he slaughtered those three people wielding swords? Maybe it was just simply something that fell from a tree causing a twig to snap naturally, either way he was now on edge. Tilting his head from side to side, lifting his ears up on that corresponding side to give him the ability to hear a little better. There it was again, a twig snapped somewhere nearby in the tree lines. With a slight growl he knew what had to be done, walking slowly keeping his ears perked up the Wendigo moved into the tree line on the opposite side of Astrid.



Akando managed to catch a glimpse of something before he disappeared into the tree line, it was a Hollow that looked like a canine with some kind of plant laying on top of it. The hunger was unbearable, he must eat more if he wants to feel even the slightest amounts of comfort from this never ending and always growing hunger. Now in the shadows of the trees Akando seemed to vanish as the shadows actually moved to cover him. With his Shadowy Presence active the Wendigo moved to the left 20 feet before rushing across the path. Akando would have gone completely unnoticed by either Canine Summon or Astrid.



Now on the same side as a potential meal, Akando would move to be 4 feet from the Canine Hollow on it's left side. Strangely even this close neither of them would notice Akando, somehow with the shadows engulfing him his presence seems to just blend in with the surroundings. The horror would only happen after his presence was made known, the shadows would fall that were previously clinging to his skin and covering him. Glowing yellow eyes would be the first thing the Canine would spot, eyes that caught the light after moving from complete darkness. Eyes that would have almost felt like they stared straight into ones soul. Astrid would then spot the same thing as her sensory capabilities are less than her Summons.



With his presence now known Akando would lunge downward diagonally, clamping his much larger jaws around the side of the Canine Summons face. The scene playing out before Astrid would almost seem like one much larger animal striking a much smaller one. With the Summons mouth clamped shut the only possible way for it to fight back is by using it's claws, or at least that's what the animal mind of Akando thought the situation would be like. Hwever, the problem is the Wendigo could actually feel the strength of his opponents jaws pushing against his own, to the point where Akando could feel the jaws of the Canine opening. With a quick decision Akando realized he had to kill this thing before it fought back, otherwise he could have trouble easily dispatching it.



Raising his right claw Akando would slash the throat of the Canine, if it had blood to spill then the earth below would be covered in it. Thankfully Akando clamping down on it's face was also an attempt to kill if not stun the creature, therefore Akando managed to get out two strikes before the Canine managed to actually put up a fight. The Wendigo would hold the Canines jaw shut until he felt no more resistance, at which point he would begin to eat the Summon. Something was strange though, every bite he took and swallowed did nothing. This wasn't a normal thing as usually if he began eating something his hunger would be quelled slightly, giving him a very small reprieve of his unnatural hunger. This time it wasn't though, it was like eating air that could have injured him if he didn't stop it soon enough. Confused Akando would lift his head up and stare down at the body, why was this different than any other prey would be the animalistic question traveling through Akando's mind.

{Shadowy Presence}Technique Name: Shadowy Presence



Class: 7



Proficient



Technique Type: Hollow Technique



Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Hollow



Technique Element: Shadow



Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):



The shadows become friends to some and enemies to others but those with an unusual bond with the shadows gain special benefits from it. Wendigo like many other creatures classified as Cryptids tend to prefer the company of shadows or the blanket of night, they are not afraid of being in the light however and have no repercussions from it. The biggest difference however is that only a few of said Cryptids gain the ability to manipulate the shadows and Wendigo is one of them.



Controlling the shadows allow him to cause them to cover him, thus allowing him to blend in nearly perfectly into the surroundings. Those with less than 150 Senses or ES won’t be able to notice him. For each rank in the stealth skill the Senses or ES required to notice him raises by 50 up to a maximum of 350 (4 ranks in Stealth).



How to use technique (How is it activated?): Channeling reiatsu into any shadow Akando is currently touching (including his own) the shadow will begin to surround him and shroud him.



Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)



This Technique costs 50 Reiatsu to use but that is not the only downside, for each rank in Anti-Stealth the Senses and ES required to notice Akando is 50 less (Maximum 200 less Senses or ES required at rank 4). He must uncloak in order to attack.

[Astrid Vess]

Astrid swore that she'd seen something move. But upon entering there was nothing. Still with sigils at the ready she was more than capable of handling whatever would occur next. The only issue was that there was nothing present and that meant that one thing. It was hiding and waiting to strike. Astrid having done this back when she didn't have summons had the basics of the idea down but knew that unlike her former self, this thing could do such far better than her. Astrid had simply known a couple ways to make herself blend in with an environment that made sense in the Suicide Forest. Anywhere else and she'd have never been capable of hiding. This thing was able to hide anywhere as far as Astrid was concerned. Astrid had a limited time as by this point Akando had already moved into his attacking position.



In truth the events that followed were no more than Astrid being the lucky not victim of Akando's attack. For as Akando made themself known and subsequently attack the hound, Astrid threw up a sigil 10 feet in the air above them, totaling at 15 feet from the ground up and teleported atop the sigil. From there she drew out the serpentine hollow from within. A white flower sprung into existence on her shrub and then subsequently exploded into an array of petals. From there the petals coalesced into it's body with hovered next to the sigil Astrid was standing on. From what she saw below Astrid could take a guess that this hollow was like her, bestial. Animal. Only hunger. And thus likely didn't realize yet that she'd spawned above him and brought out yet another being to use as a mount.



From here she'd simply wrap her tendrils around it's body and ride it as she had done recently. From here she simply watched knowing there wasn't much she could do. The entire chain of events had meant her canine was at the mercy of Akando. And that meant it had been mauled to death. Thankfully as the hollow quickly realized the beast was not able to be consumed. Though it bled for a moment and the muscles and viscera were shown they would start to change into flower petals. Said petals would then return to Astrid's backside showing where she was compared to Akando's current position. The most Akando would get out of "consuming" her hollow companion was the fresh scent of sakura flowers. Otherwise it'd be nothing, not even the feel of flesh against his teeth.



In the meantime once Akando looked up Astrid would growl loudly out towards him. It strangely wasn't an angry growl no far more simply it was to try and get some sort of response out of him. She expected it to comment in some manner on her or growl in response. Depending on how he responded would depend on how she'd approach him from here on out. Astrid could brokenly speak or she could more readily speak in the tongue of beasts. Aka body language and guttural noises. She guessed the latter would be how they'd "communicate" but up to now everything she'd met that wasn't strictly a beast was capable of speech and would talk to her. Namely down to her. How ironic that technically she would be talking down to Akando in this case but that was more circumstantial due to literal height difference.

[Akando Bena]

As Akando tore into the Canine Hollow, the plant thing ridding it's back disappeared. When he finally started truly eating the Hollow something was strange, it seem to dissolve as he was ready to swallow. In fact it did dissolve, it dissolved into a bunch of petals. Confused about the situation the Wendigo could do nothing but watch as the entire body of the Hollow vanished into petals, petals that started to fly upward. Following them with his eye's he finally found where the plant thing was, it was currently sitting upon a flying snake creature. What... is.... thing?


When Akando looked up and noticed the Plant creature, the thing growled at him. The weird thing is Akando could tell it wasn't an aggressive growl, but more of an inquisitive one. Tilting his head Akando could respond in only two ways, letting a growl of his own out to let the thing know he wouldn't attack. The other thing he did was open his mouth and speak, but not with his own voice, "Eh, What's up Doc?" With those words Akando would sit down on his hind legs, keeping his head tilted questioningly at the strange plant. It doesn't help Akando can't quite voice his thoughts, or truly have complex thoughts for that matter.



The biggest issue Akando had at this moment was finding a way to keep the thing from fighting him. As he sees it, if they were to fight it would be a lose lose situation. Both would leave hurt if not one of them dead, to make matters worse is if Akando was the victor he gains nothing from it. So at this time Akando is trying to seem as non-aggressive as he can manage, keeping his head tilted the entire time both to show his confusion and how he isn't planning on attacking. It's just such a shame he didn't have more food to eat, his hunger was clawing it his stomach, urging him to find something to eat. He wanted to see what this was about first, after all he may find a way to use the thing to eventually get more prey.

[Astrid Vess]

Astrid and Akando stared at one another for a good minute. Neither were aggressive and neither were doing much but looking. That is until Akando decided to speak. Astrid's head tilted and her eyes, all six, narrowed some. That was. . . a strange voice to come out from a beast. . . especially one as bestial as Akando. Astrid looked at her mount the unspoken question being if something like this was even possible on that kind of being. The hollow mount looked just as confused as Astrid leaving both in an odd spot as far as what made sense and how something like that voice came out of something like Akando. Astrid eventually decided that she didn't care nearly enough to keep wasting time thinking on it. Time that was edging her closer to her own hunger. Which while not pangs was slowly starting to make itself known.


With a nod to her mount it brought itself down to 6 feet above the ground and just maintained this. Meanwhile Astrid rubbed at her throat for a moment. She. . . wasn't 100% certain on how to respond in all honesty. But if nothing else she did want to make certain of something. Something immensely important. "You hollow? . . . Eat others. . . Saw scraps." Astrid coughed or well attempted to in that moment. In the back of her mind she was groaning at the prospect of talking. She hated it. Especially with how course her voice was. It really sounded like rocks being grated and then rolled down a glass hill. Practically nothing redeeming about it. Still she would speak since it could. . . or until it showed that it preferred otherwise.

With the main question spoken aloud Astrid decided to continue "speaking" after a few moments. "If yes. . . Will help. . . Others close. . . We eat others. . Not hollows. . . Hunt with?" She quietly growled at herself and her godforsaken voice. It really did bother her but given its necessity here with Akando she couldn't let her personal bias's get in the way. She figured Akando was a hollow, hell the mask made her more certain but she had to be sure. If he was and he wanted to hunt together she could help him. Perhaps they could even be . . . pack mates if all went well. . . friends being too complex a subject at the moment but a pack? She could do that. Especially when it finally dawned on her that Akando could be like her. Consumed by hunger and needing to eat to stay sane. She slapped herself mentally for taking so long then.

There were signs. Though it was sort of obvious signs like him immediately attacking them and attempting to consume her mount. Still . . . he looked like an animal. Perhaps he was simply akin to a hell beast. Granted they were in hell. . . Astrid shook her head violently. All this fucking thinking was getting to her and it was making hungrier. Something her stomach decided to make an avid point of when it growled out for her. For once though it refocused her instead of having her lose herself. She'd fingure out what Akando was, maybe help him, maybe fight him depending on what he was. And one way or another find some plus and gods willing shinigami to eat. And if they hunted together? Hopefully they'd both get a decent meal out of this and be. . . on better terms with one another. Pack mates if all went well. But for now that depended on Akando's answers and Astrid would wait and watch him for whatever sign or answer he'd give.

[Akando Bena]

This time Akando listened as the plant creature used it's own words to communicate, "You hollow? . . . Eat others. . . Saw scraps." Sadly the Wendigo wasn't exactly capable of understanding speech currently, even the words he uses is mostly just from reaction thanks to a time long past. Keeping his head tilt he could at least get the sensation she wasn't a threat, given instead of attacking she chose to talk. Keeping his attention on Astrid the Wendigo sent a trickle of reiatsu to his eye's, focusing intently on the plant being. Doing so allowed his Energy Sensory to rise from 25 to 55 temporarily.



Thanks to this momentary boost in ES Akando was able to clearly gauge Astrid. If anything was clear it was how much spiritual pressure she had, it was easily enough for even Akando to understand she could be very helpful to catch more prey. Then she spoke again, "If yes. . . Will help. . . Others close. . . We eat others. . Not hollows. . . Hunt with?" Akando immediately picked up on the word hunt, understanding it to be what he craved to do. The rest of her words were incomprehensible to him of no fault to her, however, he understood the underlying feeling for what she wanted.



Opening his mouth Akando would speak yet again, though this time the voice was drastically different going from a higher pitched male voice to a much deeper male voice, “T-Rex doesn't want to be fed. He wants to hunt. Can't just suppress 65 million years of gut instinct.” With that Akando would give a very slight nod, acknowledging the idea of working together today to find more food. Now he just simply remained seated waiting for a response. If Astrid did give a response only moments would pass before voices could be heard coming from far down the path.

[Astrid Vess]

Akando was definitely something. From his physical self to his curious smell and ending at his manner of speaking. It was. . . Definitely abnormal, even by Astrid's standards, which were minimal at best. Namely because every time he spoke it was another's voice. Another's words. And definitely far more elequent and well put together than anything she suspected he could say if he tried himself. Then again. . . perhaps he was like Astrid in that speech was difficult. Astrid couldn't be certain given the fact it spoke in full sentences with "ease" reminded her of Alastor and Orobas. Who just spoke and spoke like it was the easiest thing in the world. Clearly those two were mocking those who couldn't and that train of thought was only going to piss her off the more she thought about it.



For now though she caught the jist of his sentence. Namely from his body language after the fact. It seemed he was good for working with her and with that in mind this meant Astrid and Akando could easily go scout out some prey. Which given the sounds of more voices was oh so close by. Truthfully it was akin to low hanging fruit. Fruit Astrid was more than willing to snatch and consume wholesale. Astrid then growled at Akando, low and more directing him to where she was pointing. With a confirmation from her stead's minimal but more capable energy sensing there were shinigami nearby. Astrid then growled out her last bit of speech before taking off. "We. . in air. . . you . . . ground. . Hunt now."



With a quick flap of her hollows wings Astrid and her serpent rose over the trees and started flying towards the voices. Or in this case above where the collection of energy was sensed. Turns out it really was pretty close by, only a couple hundred feet north and it seemed like this was a large collection of shinigami. 8 or so together. Though given the uniforms it looked like there were only 3 real shinigami and the other 5 were students. Not that Astrid truly cared or knew the difference between the black uniforms vs the schools white uniform. But what she could see was that some of them were concerned. And others were nonchalant. As if being in the wilderness was in any capacity safer than in the Rukongai districts.



The two waited for a moment until the group came was walking towards another natural opening. That's when Astrid reached deep within and grabbed a few more hollow chicks to summon. From the tree on her backside 7 bright and pure white flowers blossomed before being blown away. The petals quickly coalesced into the forms of the small draconic chick hollows. with a low growl she sent three down to the opening meanwhile she sent the other four to the tree's above and behind the main group. With a stern growl the four that went to the tree's stayed in hiding waiting for the order to attack the shinigami. Meanwhile Astrid and her serpentine companion slowly and as quietly as possible flew to the tree line but staying near the edge of the the shinigami would walk out from.



The plan was simple. She'd let them kill the three chicks before them. Then have the remaining four work with Akando to slay the remainder. If any trouble arose, she could use her serpentine hollow as well as herself to clean up any problem children. The only thing she wasn't certain of was how Akando would act. In truth she didn't really care if he followed along or not. He was clearly physically capable so if he attacked prior to, then she'd just send the chicks in. No need to keep Akando and his hunger waiting. Hell Astrid's own hunger was only quieted for the moment because the feast was to begin soon. If it wasn't for that, she'd be starting to go much more bestial herself.

[Akando Bena]

It seems Akando has just acquired a hunting partner for now. Which the Wendigo understands in his current location means a lot more prey can be hunted down for food. "We. . in air. . . you . . . ground. . Hunt now." The plant monster would say to him, understanding the meaning behind the words Akando simply snarls with approval, allowing saliva he's been holding back to fall to the ground. It would be at this point he'd watch Astrid fly off towards the sounds, ensuring he doesn't get left behind Akando activates Shadowy Presence before following underneath her as well he can.

Finally Akando and Astrid reach the area where the voices are, turns out there were 8 or so Shinigami sticking close to each other. Some where more on edge than others, that just meant some were easier prey for the Wendigo to lure away. That's about the time he noticed Astrid summon some small draconic chick Hollows, watching as they kind of separated in order to set a trap for the Shinigami's. 

Realizing how opportune of a time this was, Akando slinks forward to stay just in the wooded coverage in front of the Shinigami. As soon as the first three chicks flew forward, he waited for the carnage to end. With their enemies supposedly dead some of those Shinigami once again let their guard down, this meant it was time to split the group some. With a few of the Shinigami that are chipper nearby, Akando used a voice to lure them in. What the 4 Shinigami would hear is a small child voice call out from a little into the woods, "Mommy! Moooomyyy!" This voice was not so loud as to draw the attention of more than those 4, with them looking at each other they nodded. 

Moving into the woods those 4 called back to the others, "We'll be right back!" Akando using stealth to keep far enough away from the Shinigami, of course the would have long sense smelled his odor. That doesn't worry them considering they know dead sometimes litter the woods, so they keep goin g forward. Uncloaking himself Akando would signal to Astrid his intent to begin before rushing at the 4 Shinigami. They couldn't react in time as Akando quickly beheads one of the reapers with a quick chomp as he dashes through them. 

Turning around Akando prepares to charge them yet again, however, this time they collected themselves yelling out for backup while facing the looming threat. One down and three more to go the Wendigo simply disappears into an Ulcera, coming back into existence to the left of the Soul Reapers catching them off guard yet again. With his speed of 300 he easily swings his head sending one of the reapers flying into a tree branch 20 feet in the air, thus impaling him. Without a second to lose Akando rushes through the group grabbing the previously killed Shinigami before zooming up the tree where the other reaper is hanging around. Looking at their friends the Wendigo would quickly and efficiently devour the Reapers while he was the center of their attention. Meanwhile the other Shinigami still on the path would hear the screaming of their allies dying.

{Consumed}Class 7 Shinigami X2

[Astrid Vess]

The shinigami took the bait so fucking easily. It was almost impressive how they seriously thought that just a few "weak" hollows were around. The chicks weren't exactly acting either as they were just given the order to fight but not kill, they simply did their best to injure the three shinigami in charge of leading the group. With a howl of their own they had charged in; however, this had alerted the group and allowed the actual lead to bisect the first chick. The other two were almost immediately blasted out of existence by kido. Thankfully between the kido blasts the petals weren't immediately seen and thus didn't trace back to Astrid. It seemed Astrid would actually need to try and be careful with them, that or she should just separate them.



Thankfully however, Akando seemed to have that idea already. Using yet another voice in his repertoire he immediately called out to four of the white cloaks. The group seemed to deem things safe enough at the moment and were willing to let them go help out. However, the remaining four effectively were just checking one another out before attempting to follow. This could not be allowed. And that's where Astrid stepped in. She had her serpentine hollow let out a roar of its own. This immediately had the group of four shinigami start looking around for her. In addition to this though it also informed her spirits that they needed to start their assault. Thus, all the chicks charged up a bala and took target at one of the shinigami. Sadly, as expected, those in black cloaks dodged with relative ease. I.E. Shunpo. The white student? Well. . . He was now "Holey" and currently bleeding out.



From there the chicks then flew out and immediately they all gunned for the left most shinigami. One who'd thrown out a sokatsui and blown up their companion chick. This sadly meant that they'd yet again get blown up just they'd force the shinigami in question to step away while the other who could cast made it their priority to chant out said spell again. The leader in the meantime simply was in a readied stance. Though it was clear he was mildly distracted by the fact that their fellow students were screaming and dying. Something that brought a smile to Astrid's distorted face. It was always a good day when shinigami met their betters, especially considering that shinigami had been slaughtering them for as long as Astrid could remember and even before then.



Astrid though wasn't finished with these peons yet. With a nudge and a low growl, she had her serpentine hollow fly around their backside. As quietly as it could but thankfully given it was in the air and the others were distracted by the chicks, there was no way they'd find her in time. This meant that she'd be more than able to get one of them. And right now, she wanted the most physically capable. With just a few moments of flight needed Astrid and her serpent were in position. And sadly, the poor shinigami would never see what happened next. Astrid had her serpent spray out a veritable waterfall of stomach acid from above. Enough that it'd likely singe the other two if they didn't move but would absolutely center on their leader.



This was going to be hard to realize when they'd just finished slaughtering the other chicks. Turns out the alternate kido caster had managed to blast away two of them at once. The remainder had managed to catch up with the initial kido user and had torn through one of their arms. She wasn't going to be able to use it anytime soon, or ever really if Astrid had her way. And thankfully she did. The group once again took a moment to check on one another except. . . they had realized this time that what they were facing. . . were not normal hollows. The bodies of every chick were becoming sakura petals and flying upwards. And through the projectile of acid that was upon them. A shame the one who needed to move the most was stunned for a moment as the next he was covered in juices and screaming in agony. Spoiler alert, he didn't make it. Skin became flesh, which then began to slough off his bones, and the screams continued until the very bodily appendages necessary could no longer do such.



The other two had managed to shunpo away again. And that's when Astrid finally descended. Malicious grin on full rise, if she could have spoken, she might have, but honestly? Astrid just wanted them to suffer. And for that she drew out more spirits from her tree. Specifically, shinigami souls this time. Their flowers were a deep purple and when they bloomed were akin to wisteria flowers. The flowers would yet again break and then immediate coalesce into the bodies of former shinigami. However, they looked starkly different. Their skin tone was grey, their eyes lavender, their veins purple, and even their energy was hellish if any could sense. They had torn and tattered cloaks and their swords looked to be in disarray. And yet before these shinigami were 5 of their comrades. With the fear of what would happen to them very clear Astrid only gave one command to them. "Consume."

[Akando Bena]

With his current food devoured, Akando turns his attention towards the still breathing and kicking Shinigami standing on the ground below. Saliva would pour from his mouth as the hunger drives him to want more. Nothing he eats quenches this feeling, barely even lessening it, and even then it only slightly lessens for the duration of him eating. Dropping down from the tree he begins circling the two Soul Reapers who at this point have their guard up as much as possible. "Don't think you'll be able to kill us that easily you Hollow beast!"



Ignoring the words the Shinigami are speaking Akando searches for an opening, one that preferably doesn't lead to self damage. Suddenly one of the Shinigami raises up their left hand, knowing this can't be a good sign he moves quickly out of the way. It seemed that was a good idea for a bolt of lightning streamed through the area that previously used to be his location. Growling he begins circling again, a little annoyed that his prey momentarily stopped his search for a clean opening.



After about 2 minutes of circling and dodging a few more Byakurai, Akando finally spots his chance. Without any hesitation the Wendigo surges forward jumping up into the air pre-emptively dodging the next Byakurai that one Shinigami has been firing at him. This catches the duo off guard allowing Akando an easy kill, taking the head of the Shinigami standing on the right. Without his ally to keep blasting Kido the last Shinigami knew he was in trouble.



"No, It's not over until one of us is dead, and I fully intend on being the one to walk out of these woods." With that the Shinigami rushes at Akando while the Wendigo is still licking the blood off of his claws. With very little effort Akando dodges the feeble last resort before clamping his jaws on the front portion of the Reapers neck. Drooping his weapon the battle was over, one crunch later and the last Shinigami fell motionless. Enjoying his moment of peace before heading back to the road where Astrid was dealing with the other half of the Shinigami squad, Akando scarfs down his newly acquired meals.

{Consumed}Class 7 Shinigami X2

[Astrid Vess]

Astrid watched as her shinigami spirits immediately split up to go after the remaining shinigami patrol. Two were paired up for the completely abled shinigami while the one with only a single limb was given only one spirit to deal with. Meanwhile Astrid and her hollow simply watched. It was times like these she really enjoyed causing the torment she did. The shinigami present couldn't bring themselves to fire any kido anymore. Instead trying to scream and yell at their corrupted comrades in a vain attempt to bring them back. In truth had Astrid more time, she'd have wanted to play with them. Possibly let them think all was going according to their desperation. But she was hungry and so were her spirits. And she had no intention of sharing these shinigami with Akando.



Thus, she just roared out to her spirits. They roared back and started to fight that much harder against their kin. The same beings who tried to step away and managed it only to find themselves near immediately beset upon by the other spirits Astrid had summoned. It was so infinitely amusing to her to just watch this all transpire but she had things to do. And her hunt with Akando was likely not to end this early so she decided to end this section of the hunt now. Astrid pointed towards one of the full bodied shinigami and had her serpentine companion ready an acid blast. Then she roared out towards the two spirits attacking it and had them both attack at the same time. This caused the shinigami in question to step away reappearing a few feet behind them.



Moments later she'd feel an acid blast hit her dead in the torso, covering her entire person with stomach acid. She screamed in agony, causing the other full bodied shinigami to look away from his two opponents and ultimately get impaled. He screamed out with her as they both were ultimately killed by the spirits. That left the single armed shinigami, Astrid, her serpentine hollow and the last shinigami spirit she had at her disposal. The shinigami in question was a blonde female and she had her back to a tree. She was bleeding out her right arm and was clearly struggling to do much aside from scream in agony. Astrid smiled at her as her hollow spirit flew ever closer. Even going so far as to wind around the tree in question and drop her off next to her.



Astrid had to admit, she was definitely on the prettier side, had she not lost a limb and wasn't staring at her in terror. With a hint of anger mixed in. Astrid just continued to look her over before she decided that she also needed to eat. Thus, she lunged at the shinigami and tore into her throat. Chunk after chunk got torn away and ripped out as she slowly brought herself towards the torso of the woman. By this point she was long since dead and Astrid had long since lost herself to consuming this woman from the inside out. Still, it wasn't too last. The spirits had consumed what they could of the shinigami around them while Astrid ate and where now hovering around her. The hollow serpent also took it upon themselves to give a low hiss at Astrid to direct her attention to Akando.



Astrid, covered in blood, turned her head curious as to why she was being called for. Only to see for herself that Akando was, in fact, walking out the forest surrounding. From the relative quiet of the area, she figured he'd managed to get his kills. She soon realized that he likely had given the blood on his claws and that was still streaking down the sides of his maw. She smiled some and got off the corpse of the shinigami and instead onto her companion. Then she had her horde move over towards Akando to meet him halfway. Once he was within earshot, she only said one thing to him. "More?" She was certain the answer, but she figured she could ask. Hunts after all, weren't always this easy. And if they were, then there was no reason not to eat to their fill. . . Or at least consume what was worthwhile in the area around them. Either way Astrid eagerly awaited to hear his mimicked response.

[Akando Bena]

Walking out of the tree line and back on the path, Akando looks towards Atrid who is currently getting back on her flying snake. At the moment Akando is not exactly clean and pristine, if anything he's filthy. Dripping blood from his claws and mouth letting the Hason know the slaughter went well for the Hollow. He was nowhere near full either, the hunger barely lessened while he ate, but the moment food stopped sliding down his gullet the hunger returned in full.



Thus when Akando heard the Hason speak, he was ecstatic. True he didn't understand the word more, but he completely understood the feeling she was giving off. This hunt was not finished and Akando had to let the plant Hellion know he wanted more as well. Searching through the plethora of quotes he heard in both his human life and Hollow life, he finally found a good response that gave off the feeling he had. “I learned one thing about eating jigsaw puzzles…an hour later, you’re hungry again.”



With those words said sounding like a deep voiced male, Akando let's out a growl of readiness. Urging for them to begin there next hunt for prey, thankfully they didn't need to look far for within the next three minutes more voices could be heard coming down the path. Being as animalistic as he was, he wasn't able to figure out if these were once again Shinigami or something else. However, that didn't matter for all he knew was food slowly made it's way down the path to the two hungry beasts, and he was sure to take full advantage of the situation.

[Astrid Vess]

Astrid smiled when she heard the words come out of Akando's mouth. It certainly wasn't his voice but by this point Astrid had gotten used to it. He said things that others had spoken before. Somehow in a shockingly accurate rendition of their voice. Still, it didn't matter how accurately he could mimic voices of others. Akando wanted to eat more and so more would they consume. Thankfully this is where the spirits Astrid had summoned came in handy. Not but a few moments earlier had the shinigami and the hollow spirit taken note of a change in the reiatsu around. Notably letting loose reiatsu from Hueco Mundo of all places.



The shinigami spirit closest to her groaned and made a motion behind Astrid. A few birds ended up leaving the tree line a little distance off only proving that something was there. Astrid nodded at the spirit and then growled out to all the spirits to go towards where the birds had left. Meanwhile she turned to Akando and spoke again making sure to use her hands to motion towards the spirits. "Follow. . . spirits. ." She was certain the message got across given she'd had him do the same thing before they took out the shinigami. Thus, she immediately growled towards her serpent to have it fly into the air above the tree line and follow towards the new energy source. Astrid only spared a glance to ensure Akando was moving.



Meanwhile a little distance off. . .





Kazumi took in a breath of fresh air from the wildlands of the Rukongai. It was. . . better than Hueco Mundo. Namely because he could actually smell something other than stale air and sand. Still, it smelled like filth. Perhaps there was a body nearby that was producing the smell. He couldn't know. However, what he did know is that he was going to find some shinigami and make a name for himself. Having collected a small group of hollows that listened to him he should have enough around him that he should get some attention if he attacked a district in the Rukongai. At least he thought so. It wasn't like shinigami had anything better to do right? They attacked hollows like it was their favorite pasttime from what he remembered.



Either way it didn't matter he was here to kill plus, namely by feeding them to his hollows. And kill shinigami enough until they remembered who he was. Really strike fear into the hearts of those in the Seireitei. If all worked out, he'd just keep doing this. Attack. After attack. After attack. After attack. He just simply needed to make sure he kept coming out on top and eventually they'd have to acknowledge him. Still as much as he was certain in his soon to be start of a life hunting down shinigami he had no idea where he was at. And from the looks of it, neither did his 4 crocodile companions. Typical though, they thought more with their stomachs than their heads. It made sense though they were still hollows after all, not the peak form of arrancar.



He was about to walk off in a direction until he heard the sounds of movement in the forest. At first a few animals but later there was a definite sound of running. He narrowed his eyes and gave a quick order to his hollow companions. "Look around us! Find the source of that sound!" The crocodiles moved themselves around him, with about 2 feet of space between Kazumi and them. Meanwhile their eyes moved all over the place allowing for a combined 360 vision. They were ready for whatever was going to come out. Or so they figured, it wasn't like normal animals or shinigami concerned them. They'd killed both prior to now. So, for the time being they simply waited to see what would come out.

{Kazumis release information}
Cost: 550 reiatsu

Class: 6

Duration: 4 posts

Zanapkutou Release Names:

Drown my enemies, Shin'en no danshaku (Baron of the deep)


Overall Ability:

When released Kazumi's form changes to that of a mythical asian dragon. As such a number of abilities relating to asian dragons in mythos are at his disposal, such as the means to conjure rain and manipulate water to a degree. For a cost of 50 reiatsu Kazumi can create a cloud that is 5 feet in length and width, and 3 feet thick. There is no limit to the amount of clouds he can create, however the clouds (barring the use of a technique) will always be created in the sky above him (or the ceiling of a room or space where something is above him.) From there he can command the clouds to produce a light shower of rain, standard rainstorm, or torrential downpower.

Light rain is mainly used to create a damp envirorment in addition to creating fog clouds. Fog clouds are generated depending on how many posts light rain has been active. At it's base however it creates 15 foot clouds. For every post this cloud cover doubles. These clouds and the rain do not cause harm, though they do make enemies more conductive to electricity, giving it a 10% OS boost. To see through the fog requires 75 Senses with points in Anti-Stealth or Focused eye reducing this by 25 points.

Standard rain is used to start actively collecting water where the clouds are located above. This will actively start to create puddles and pools and the longer this rainfall goes on the larger the puddles and pools become. There is no inherent size limit to this. However with the coming of these pools there is the means for electrical attacks to extend their reach and "jump" around. This can be from one puddle to the next or extend to encompass the entirety of a puddle/pool. At most the expanded electrical charge will reach 5 feet. This level of rain does not remove present fog clouds nor does it allow them to grow further.

Torrential downpour is the most violent application of water. In this storm flooding is almost a gaurantee and is necessary to ensure to that a space will be drowned. Fog clouds are swept away by 15 feet a post but in their stead Kazumi has access to creating gusts of wind in addition to bolts of lightning. Due to the winds being exuded by the stormfall if there is at least 2 feet of water present then individuals will find their movement slowed by 10% and their step speed reduced by 1x. This can be avoided by using step techs above the ground. To actively remain in this type of storm Kazumi must pay 150 reiatsu a post directly from his pool.

Clouds produced can be blown away with strong enough attacks. These require 75% of Kazumi's OS. Attacks in Torrential Downpour use his RS. Fog Clouds can be swept away if an attack is at least 50% of his OS. Clouds created will follow Kazumi if he moves.

Zanpakuto Techniques:

1. Whirlpool
This technique is a passive ability of Kazumi's release. Typically water will flow around and into new areas as it attempts to spread throughout. In order to actually flood a place there must be either a barrier of sorts that prevents its movement or there must be a substantial amount of water. This technique takes the prior idea using the maximum reach of the clouds as the "barrier". So long as cloud exist the water produced by Kazumi will not extend past them. Instead it will grow in height once the entire ground is covered. Should there be enough rain and time, the area encompassed by the cloud will flood until the water reaches the clouds.

Costs an additional 150 reiatsu to release.


2. Lead Rain
This technique is only available while Torrential Downpour is being used. So long as requirement is met then the technique is available for use. This technique reinforces the rain that is produced by the cloud giving each drop more weight to it than one would expect. For Kazumi this means nothing as he is freely able to fly around in his storm. However for others this means that they are actively pushed down at a force equal to half his OS. Should they not have enough strength to resist they will find themselves unable to move to higher ground or stay afloat without some additional aid.

I.E. Climbing will be impossible. However if one is on a tree branch already they will not find themselves hindered so long as they stay present or jump to other ledges of comparable hieght. Flying creatures will be pushed down until they hit the water's surface.

Costs 150 reiatsu a post.


3. Riptide
This technique is simple as its effectively Kazumi's standard attack. Using this allows Kazumi to create small waves using nearby water for at a 1 to 1 ratio for height, width, and thickness. These waves are created at 200 speed and when made are thrown in a direction. The waves then slam into an opponent at a force equal to half Kazumi's OS. Meanwhile they will pull whatever is hit by the wave with them using Kazumi's full OS.

Costs 75 reiatsu per wave. 3 can be created a post.


4. Typhoon
This is the peak technique for Kazumi. Use of this technique is only allowed once a release. This technique upon being used intensifies the storm for the post and condenses it to half it's current size. Those already within the storms bounds will find themselves pulled within the new bounds by Kazumi's OS.

Once these new bounds are created the condensed clouds begin to produce tornadoes that touch the surface of the water produced. These twisters will then spin around the storms AoE at 400 speed and exude a suction force equal to Kazumi's OS within 10 feet of them. If one cannot resist they are drawn within and either thrown into the clouds or thrown into the water below. Between the winds and rough waves they will be battered by the water at Kazumi's OS or be torn into by the raging winds.

There is an out however. Kazumi needs at least two posts to charge this attack and thus produces an orb made of storm clouds. This orb uses his OS for it's durability. If destroyed he must wait a post before he can recreate it. If it's not destroyed there is only one thing a victim can do. That is endure the storm. Though its potent the storm itself is brief as it lasts only 1 post. This technique also requires the storm to be in a Torrential Downpour to be used.

Costs 250 reiatsu. 2 post charge up. Torrential Downpour needed.
