[Shinsei Tan'O]

Shinsei Tan'O had been sent in alone this time. The mission was dangerous, and taking place in the human world. And so, only one Zero Division member was allowed. If they sent any more, the balance could be severely disrupted. Shinsei was fine with that, he didn't want his comrades endangered. But still, he felt a lingering vestige of emptiness at not having his team there. He hadn't been alone on a mission in a long time, and so he had to be on his guard. Shinsei took a good look around, scouting out the area. Traces of Reiatsu led to the cave entrance. It was on a narrow passageway on a high point in the mountain. Only with his prestige senses could Shinsei see it. He started climbing up the mountain using his strength, deciding that it was both wise, and also very rewarding to do this the stealthy way. After a few minutes, Shinsei reached the path, and crawled towards the cave. Before entering, he brought his right wrist near his mouth.

He spoke into it. "Corps Leader 4E: Status Report" Shinsei muttered quietly. "Reiatsu traced to cave entrance high up on mountain. Investigation beginning. Mission time 0:33." Shinsei lowered his wrist after pressing a button on the com, and moved into the cave. Inside, he found a narrow passageway. He followed this for a few minutes, before reaching a gigantic chamber with several paths to follow. Shinsei decided to check out the one on the farthest right. He took that path, and continued moving. Shinsei masked his Reiatsu well, so it was unlikely that an enemy would notice him, unless he happened to stray into the room that it occupied. At that moment, he didn't sense any enemies, so Shinsei was confident that no enemy was near his location. He was following the source though, so he was bound to run into an enemy sooner or later.

Dimitri had already wandered into the cave, He was searching around alot and settled down to take a look around, He masked His Reiatsu As best he could not that it was to much to give off his possition to enemy's. He was standing in a crevice in one of the cave passagways, It was not a small crevice, but it was shrouded by darkness allowing Dimitri to be hidden. He had heard foot
Steps coming his way, watever it was he was planning to attack. He took out his Zanpakatuo. Once the figure was close enough, He jumped out preparing to attack, But was shocked when he saw it was A fellow shinigami, Dimitri Quickly dropped his sword as he backed up a few steps. "Ehh...I..I..Im sorry about that....I thought you where a threat...I did not realize it was another Shinigami." Dimitri knew he would of already been thought of as a nusence, With this happening this unknown shinigami would surely see Dimitri as just someone in the way, He felt like quite an idiot.

The inside of the cave seemed fairly ancient, thick and lengthened stalagmites of earth hung down from the ceiling above and a damp smell and feeling was in the air. As the two shinigami had finally came in contact with one another, a thunderous and inhuman roar formed from deep within the cave. It sounded like it came form wherever the source was, which was in the center of the cave. It sounded very distant but the echo of it could be heard plainly between the two Shinigami. Whatever it was, it was potent and most likely had made its home by the source. The way to the source was through several chambers like the one Shinsei has entered. Suddenly, the whole cavern felt like it had become alive as it shook for a few seconds. During this, a few of the stalagmites broke off, dropping down towards both the shinigami's heads. After the stalagmites dropped, a low rumble could be heard within the cave. What could possibly be occuring?

The rumbling came closer and soon, the cause of it could be seen. A horde of hollows were fleeing from within the cave. To both the shinigami's luck, they were low level, just in many numbers. However, what was disturbing was the fact they were afraid and scared off. The hollows barley noticed the shinigami, the only thought in their mind was escape. However, the two would be trampled if they did not evade or slay the hollows right then and there.

[Zou ۞]

Shinsei heard someone move as he approached. He'd heard the breathing earlier, but had not reacted. He didn't react as this person attacked either, because it was a shinigami. Normally, he should have reacted regardless, but the sudden slackening of the muscles before Shinsei finished thinking this over signified that he didn't need to retaliate, the newcomer was going to stop attacking. Sure enough, he backed off and apologized. "Doesn't matter." Shinsei said. He didn't offer any more information than that. The newcomer was probably wondering who Shinsei was, since he didn't look at all the same as a regular Shinigami. Shinsei had white shinigami robes instead of black, and he wore a black captain's haori, contrasting to the white that captains actually wore. That was when the stalagmites starting falling. In an instant, Shinsei was a blur of movement. He was wielding the Aara sword in his hand, which he had drawn at some point in the movement.

He whirled it around, and the flexible, whip-like blade moved around in a circular pattern with a mighty whipping sound, hacking into the stalagmites and severing all of them before they could even get near the ground. Shinsei landed, keeping the blade in his hand, because he heard the stampede approaching. The aara ordinarily couldn't cut like that, but it was lined with his reiatsu. As the stampede approached, Shinsei moved into a sort of dance, constantly rotating and spinning so that he could carve into the hollows. The reach was very long, and so multiple hollows were carved with each flourish. After a mere 14 seconds, all of the hollows were cut up before they even got near Dimitri, nothing but a pile of goo and blood. After cleaning the aara, Shinsei rolled it back up, and put it somewhere in his shinigami haori, probably inside of a bag that Dimitri could not see.

Next off, Shinsei raised his left wrist to his mouth, and spoke into a wrist device that he was wearing. "Corps Leader 4E: Status Report" Shinsei said. "Encountered Vice Captain. Minor inconvenience. Experienced shaking and loud roar. Presumably the target. Extend E.T.C. 4 minutes. 0:37." Shinsei turned around, looking at Dimitri. "So what's your name, and what Squad are you from?" he asked. "I only see your rank on that badge."

[ryuujinn00]

OOC: Man somebody beat me to blue and red.. hahah.. using green as speech instead.. xD

IC:

"GAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!"

The wall to the right of the chamber Shinsei and Dimitri were currently on suddenly burst into a multitude of debris, dust flying towards Shinsei and Dimitri. Several limbs then flew out following the dust, slathering on the floor around the two shinigamis, and finally, a few bits and pieces of what looked like hollow masks landed next, until finally, a half-broken hollow mask landed right beneath Shinsei's feet. As the smoke subsided, the image of an elegant, silver long sword made its way out of the hole, followed by a bright, blue-haired shinigami wearing a blue trench-coat. On the left hand of the shinigami was a hollow's severed head, which was now turning into spirit particles.

"FUCK YEAH! I KNEW I'D FIND YOU HERE, ZERO DIVISION MAN!"

It was Saix, and his greeting was no less than lively. He's known Shinsei by the robes that the man wore, and the face. He's possibly forgotten Shinsei's name, but that's just how Saix was. He then moved from the hole and towards the two shinigamis present. He's got an unusually wide smile on his face, simply because he knew the cave was filled with things to fight. He sheathed his sword and brought his two fist together, looking very excited.

"ALRIGHT! WHAT DO WE DO HERE HUH?"

He spoke rather happily in his very lively voice. He brought up his arms and pat both Dimitri and Shinsei at the back as he passed them by, staring at the remainder of the room. He was in high spirits, and he seemed extremely game. His eyes were darting from Dimitri to Shinsei, looking very hyper. He's waiting for either of them to start talking.

Dimitri was wondering why he had not really said anything to him, He wanted to ask him questions beacuse he wanted to know more about this strange shinigami. However just as Dimitri was just about to ask him a question the cave started shaking, Stalagmites began to fall around them, Dimitri looked up just as the male jumped up, Suddenly breaking all the stalagmites, Before they came even close to hitting the ground. Dimitri then turned to see a Stampede of Hollow's, How could this be any worse? Dimitri thought to himself. But suddenly all the Hollow's where nothing but Blood and a few Limbs here and there. Who is this guy.. Dimitri was very impressed by this mans abilities. "Who..." Dimitri was about to ask who the man was when Saix bursted into the room, Yelling something about "Zero Division Man? Dimitri was surely confused, Seeing the sight of Saix once again, Dimitri picked up his sword sheathing it, Slapping himself in the forehead at Saix's hyperness as Dimitri called it, It could get quite annoying on this mission.

[Zieg Revolver]

With the stalagmites destroyed and the frightened hollows slaughtered, the three shinigami were allowed to continue. However, obvious signs around them showed that they were not alone. As they continued forward, scattered bones of both humans and animals alike littered the bottom of the cavern's walls. It seemed this place had become a feeding ground for the hollows, however, this was not the most disturbing part. Echos of hollows screeching, ceros being fired and other various combat noises could be heard in the upcoming chamber the three were about to enter. A chilling laugh could faintly be heard as its sound echoed around the three shinigami. As they entered the chamber, they saw what was occuring.

The chamber ahead opened up and was massive, at least a story high. Inside, a massive melee was occurring between a numerous amount of hollows. There were hundreds of them but however, they glowed a strange pale aura inside their bodies and were twice as powerful as a lesser hollow, nearly at the level to become a gillian. Several gillian were among them, their masks glowing with the pale aura and were firing off ceros that were nearly firing as fast as balas, at the attacking hollows and consuming them. All of them seemed to be in a frenzy, affected by the pale aura that gave off a small amount of the spiritual energy the shinigami were tracking. The three shinigami would have to either sneak by the hollows or cut through them to advance to the next chamber. A few of the gillians noticed them and turning, charging a cero and firing it off towards them in a line.

[Shinsei Tan'O]

As Saix arrived, Shinsei stared forwards. He gave a miniature, quirky grin. He was a friendly guy after all. "Now we're talking! The Old Man finally sent a Captain in! Shinsei brought up his Zodac, which was the wrist device, to his mouth. He spoke into it, since he was required to report. "Corps Leader 4E: Status Report." Shinsei said. "Encountered Captain Saix: 11th Division. Powering through now an option. Decrease E.T.C. 3 minutes. Corps Leader 4E, Out." They finished walking at that point, coming to a stop and seeing the stronger hollows. "I call the Gillian." Shinsei said. He quickly rushed forwards, ignoring the Cero, since Saix was going to be running close by, and would take care of them. Shinsei was not bothering to draw his aara this time. Instead, he drew out his Khanda. With reiatsu lining it, Shinsei jumped into the fray. Each and every movement was packed with the full momentum of the swing, but with the ability to dodge out. Each movement brought another hollow cleaved in two.

And, each movement fluidly led into the next. Shinsei was powering through the hollows. With the aid of Saix, this would be done in under thirty seconds. His reiatsu was easily strong enough to carve cleanly through the hollows, regardless of their defenses. Even with a power up, at this level, they were no match. The vast majority of Shinsei's opponents were beyond Vasto Lorde level. He was solidly confident that he could take multiple Vasto Lorde at once, and win. In the Zero Division, all sorts of new, and powerful enemies were encountered. Some of them were completely unimaginable. And, that was how Shinsei liked it. The enemies that he faced were so powerful, that he became strong enough to treat Vasto Lorde like pets, or training dummies. It was a well known fact that several of the Zero Division members randomly kept Vasto Lorde as pets or for some light training while wearing restraints. To the Zero Division, hollows were a joke.

[ryuujinn00]

"GAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I KNEW JOINING YOU WOULD TAKE ME TO MORE FIGHTING! ZERO DIVISION ALWAYS GETS THE GOOD MISSIONS!"

Saix remarked happily, kicking one of the hollows face so hard it literally turned inside out. He was extremely at the height of his euphoria. If it were anymore, he'd probably die from too much happiness. He didn't even bothered drawing his long sword. Hollows were a step behind Arrancars, and he does not like to kill his opponent, at least not so quickly. So he sticked with fighting with his fist, which was lined with his overpowering reiatsu. A Cero came at him from one of the gillians, but it was a folly. Saix was known to play with these sorts of Ceros bare-handed, which he did.

As he punched through the chest of one of the hollows, he held out one hand towards the incoming Cero, and with least efforts, he palmed it and redirected it towards the other hollows, effectively obliterating some of them. He tore through ranks, and finally got to one of the Gillians. It easily towered over him like a building, but Saix gave a maniacal grin. He then kicked the ground with such force, dust exploding outwards as Saix flew into the air. As he reached the Gillian's eye level, he gave a wide grin.

"HELLO THERE BIG FELLA! YOU LOOK SAD! ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOU A SMILE!"

Saix's comment was met by the Gillian's tongue, which was known to rip out another hollow's mask. This would've been dangerous, but Saix was more than happy for the attempt. He pressed a palm on the face of the tongue, and brought himself up, running towards the Gillian using the tongue. As he reached the mouth, the Gillian attempted to bite him, as it withdrew its tongue back, but Saix was too quick. He leapt to the side, and using his fist, punched the side of the Gillian's lip, forcing it to tear open towards the cheeks. He then leapt to the other side, and did the same, punching the side of the lip, which tore open a thin tear towards the cheeks. It made the Gillian look as if it was smiling, though it was roaring in pain.

"COME ON! YOU DON'T LIKE THAT? FUCK YOU!"

Saix roared with a maniacal laughter, before propelling himself upwards, towards the forehead of the Gillian's face, his fist then opened up, and his palms were wide open. He then formed a sword-palm with his right hand, and jumped up from the forehead of the hollow. As he reached the peak of his jump, he then cascaded down with tremendous force, ripping the Gillian vertically apart, from head to toe. It was exhilarating for him. He could've finished the Gillian in one fell swoop, but he played with it for some time before delivering the final blow.

He landed on his feet gingerly, then turned his head towards Dimitri, and saw a Cero heading towards him. In a burst of speed, which was done by kicking on the ground with both feet, he landed next to Dimitri and grabbed him by the scruffs of his neck, throwing him aside as Saix palmed the Cero once again, but instead of redirecting it, he closed his palm around the Cero, effectively obliterating the attack. He glanced over Shinsei once again, and saw that the man was indeed a superb fighter. He was tearing through the place with relative ease, though unlike Saix, the man wasn't playing around. Still, Saix grinned wider and wider. Then he turned back towards Dimitri.

"HEY, UH, I DON'T REALLY KNOW YOUR NAME. BUT FUCK THAT! LET'S GO! YOU'RE LOSING HOLLOWS TO FIGHT. HAHAHAHAHA! OR DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT ME INSTEAD?"

Saix spoke out as he was grabbing a non-Gillian class hollow, putting it in some sort of headlock despite being smaller than it. In one fluid motion, he slammed the hollow's head to the ground, stepping on it with extreme force that caused its head to explode upon contact to the ground. Some of the hollow's fluids scattered towards the area, some even landing on Dimitri's clothes, while most were on Saix's clothing. Saix then made one, forceful spin to his body, removing the stains and giving Dimitri and Shinsei a wide grin.

[Zieg Revolver]

The gillian were effectively slain but oddly, a giant blur of movement was seen and the gillians vanished. Suddenly, to the entrance of the next chamber, a colossus sized Adjuchas appeared. The Adjuchas was in the shape of a gorilla, with four tusks protruding out of its mouth, two from the top and another pair on the bottom. Protruding from its mouth also was a foot of one of the gillian's it had just ate and absorbed. Several odd swirling black markings on its masked, classing it as Advanced, It looked at the shinigami and let out of bellow, dozens of giant humanoid shaped Adjuchas came pouring out of the entrance. Each of them, including the Advanced Adjuchas, were coated in the pale aura. The other Adjuchas charged forward, letting out battle cries and screech for blood, charging at Saix and Shinsei, aiming to slash and tear at them. Several fired their ceros off at the two shinigami while some fired balas, the others passing by these attacks after they fired and dove at the shinigami, ready to tear them apart.

Meanwhile, the advanced adjuchas was simply standing back, bidding its time. It suddenly opened its mouth, a cero beginning to form on each of its tusks and in the middle of its mouth. Soon, all the ceros met in the middle, ready to fire in one gigantic cero that had the power of 5. The pale energy was doing its job, enhancing the hollows powers greatly but the charge time did not stay so the shinigami had only this one window of opportunity to interrupt its attack As the adjuchas attacked, the lesser hollows did as well, a dozen of them heading for Dimitri as the others swarmed towards Saix, planning to sink their fangs and claws into them.

[Hara Lucious]

Dimitri simply stood there and watch as the gillians fell, Saix was killing multiple hollows, And here was Dimitri simply standing there having no chance to even attack before everything was dead. Suddenly the huge Adjuchas appeared from seemingly no wear, Along with more hollow, Dimitri wanted to prove himself, As a dozen hollow came at him, Who where not all to strong. Dimitri whipped out his sword, easily dicing through a few, Ducking under some attack, a Cero whizzing right past his head, He cut through the last of the hollows that where coming at him, Looking up at the adjuchas. He was surprised by its size. He began running towards it, Focusing some reiatsu into his feet, Beggingin to run up the length of the beast, Once he could not run up him anymore, He slammed his sword into the beast, Allowing his weight to drag him and his sword down, Cutting down the length of how high dimitri had ran up. He landed on the ground looking up as trickles of blood or watever you could call it, Fell down around Dimitri, He jumped back hoping the adjuchas attack would be interupted by this.

[Zieg Revolver]

The advanced Adjuchas suddenly swept his right hand to the left side while Dimitri was slashing down its arm due to it feeling the sword slash. The adjuchas was after all a colossus hollow, so Dimitri would have to do better then that to effectively slay it. The adjuchas finished charging its cero and fired, sweeping its head as the blast launched from its mouth. The amplified cero destroyed most of the wall and the debris fell down, cutting off Dimitri from the other two shinigami. The two would have to deal with the dozens of adjuchas first before having to cut through the debris. In the meantime, Dimitri would have to prove his worth and fight the advanced adjuchas by himself, however he would have to do this quickly. The adjuchas looked nearly ready to transform into a vasto lorde and Dimitri alone would not be able to handle a hollow of that rank. The adjuchas bellowed and charged forward after Dimitri, bringing his fists down to crush him into the cavern's floor.

SPOILER: Click to show

The blade's hilt is black, and curvy like a kitchen knife, but designed PERFECTLY to fit in Shinsei's right hand. It is also designed for constant swinging and spinning of the blade while fighting. It's a bit bulky on the ends, specifically so that the hand doesn't slide while holding the blade. Also, just to give it a rougher, and firmer grip, there is some common string wrapped around the hilt, just to make it a bit easier to use.

The blade is slanted and curvy like the hilt, shaped something like a whale's body really. It is a silvery color, and has five small thumb sized holes adjacent to each other along the upper part of this insanely sharp sword, which seems capable of even cutting through other people's swords at some point. The tip is also very sharp, very stab capable. There is a bit of white string wrapped around a lower part of the blade, mainly just to take and reinforce the hilt if need be.

There are markings all over the blade in decoration. 12 in total on each side. On one side, the markings are in a dim gold, on the other, in a bright silver. The gold markings go in this order, from top to bottom of the blade. First, there is a squiggly line. This represents courage, or something along those lines. The second is a square with four dots inside of it, and a bunch of spikes on the outside, to represent life, painful chances. The third symbol is a tarantula outline, the representation is probably venom or something along those lines. The fourth symbol is a pig with horns, and wings. A devil and angel in one, most likely. The fifth symbol is a rabbit, a pure, innocent rabbit, surrounded by the sun. Not sure what that represents. The sixth symbol is rather fun, it's a large whirlpool type thing, like what would appear on a map if someone charted a whirlpool. It's to represent chaos, most likely. The symbols all have random meanings, nonrelated most of them. Such as the seventh symbol! This is a falcon. What does the falcon stand for? No idea. The eighth symbol, ironically, is the number 8, but in a more ancient term, and with some kanji as well around it to form SEVERAL number eights. The ninth symbol is a wheel barrel. Representation? Unknown. Really, Shinsei himself hasn't even deciphered all of the symbols. The tenth symbol is a piano. This represents music, something that he loves. The eleventh symbol is the number 12. Why? No idea. The 12th symbol is three squiggly lines, representing a river probably. The flow of life maybe?

On to the silver symbols! The first of these is a crossbow with a flaming sword in it, and directly next to that, the second symbol, is a sinking ship beneath a crescent moon and surrounded in a gigantic galaxy-type symbol with suns all around it. Together and paired, they represent destruction, and abstractness as a couple. Next off, there comes the third symbol. The third symbol is rather special, for it appears only at night, and when it appears, it glows red, but the glow is visible only to the user. It's just a simple X. The fourth symbol is a full moon. Representation? Well, it probably flat out represents the full moon. What else is there to represent? The fifth symbol is a dragon coiled all around itself to form a sort of galaxy or universe type image. The sixth symbol is a remote control. What does this mean? Well, it means technology has a symbolic existence too. As for the seventh symbol, this is a hollow's mask. The eighth symbol, ninth symbol, and tenth symbol are all hollow masks as well, but all three of the masks are strikingly different. It isn't certain what they all mean, or why they're there, they just are. The eleventh symbol is an elephant. It represents...well...an elephant. There's really no other meaning to an elephant than an elephant, except maybe silence since elephants take soft steps, but in that case the symbol would be a blank space. The twelfth and final symbol of the silver side is what appears to be a diamond. It may represent beauty? The sword DOES look pretty good.

A new outfit also forms on Shinsei when he uses Shikai! Hurray! All of his old clothes are gone, replaced by a black Shinigami's robe. The robe is completely normal, except for the left hand side, [Shinsei's left] which lacks a sleeve. There is absolutely no sleeve anywhere, not on the arm, not on the shoulder. Visible on part of the torso and on the shoulder and arm however, white bandages. What are the bandages for? No idea, they're obviously just there for some looks, nothing more than that.

However, on the back of the outfit, the Zero Division symbol is visible. Only in recent years has this newest addition come. Before, it was the symbol of Shinsei's original squad. He's a pretty tough guy overall, because this new outfit shows his musularity as well, he's in some pretty good shape. Shinsei really has worked hard! This is evident by some of the scars one might see in this lighter outfit as well.

When the debris cut Dimitri off, Shinsei immediately took a glance before his view was destroyed. The Adjuchas was advanced and powerful. A single look told him that it was ready to evolve and become Vasto Lorde. Normally, not a problem. Vasto Lorde were easy. In the Zero Division, it was hollow like Dios Vacuo that posed threats. Dios Vacuo didn't even exist here, so that was fine. Shinsei however, knew that Dimitri, at his level, was no match for a hollow of that strength. Casualties were unacceptable, so he had to clear this fast. He needed to release. Quickly sheathing his Khanda, Shinsei pulled out his Zanpakutou. He slashed off the heads of two nearby hollows before holding it out, and releasing. His reiatsu flew everywhere as he did this, because the Zero Division Member really was quite powerful. He didn't have a release phrase, but that didn't matter. He released fine. "TATEGAMI!" he shouted.

In an instant, Shinsei's blade changed. As it changed, he whirled around, slashing at all of the hollows surrounding him. Four heads flew off into the air, and he blocked two incoming Cero by slashing directly into them. Shinsei blurred with each movement. There was no way any of the Adjuchas could keep up with him. "SAIX!" he shouted. "I'm going to go save the Vice Captain! You can have the remaining two dozen Adjuchas!" Shinsei spun his blade as he slashed. "RYUUKI SHOUSHOU!" he shouted. A large blast of reiatsu fired out of his zanpakutou. It came in a ball of concentrated Reiatsu, directly impacting the debris and rocks that separated Dimitri. In an instant, these were blasted apart and away. Shinsei quickly dived through the opening. The blast had upset the cave, and more debris fell to take the vanquished debris' place. "BLAST THROUGH WHEN YOU'RE DONE!" Shinsei shouted to Saix.

He looked at Dimitri, who was going to fight the Adjuchas. "You're going to meet your maker, Adjuchas!" Shinsei exclaimed with a grin. He prepared to swing his sword, when he saw the look in Dimitri's eyes. The look in Dimitri's eyes was one of fierce confidence, and eyes that longed to prove themselves. "Nevermind." Shinsei said. "I'm gonna stand here and watch." He also looked up at Dimitri and said, "It's a tough hollow, so you're being timed." Shinsei shouted through the rocks, "YO SAIX! HURRY YOUR ASS UP WITH THOSE WEAKLINGS YOU SLOWPOKE! ALL THE STRONG ENEMIES ARE OVER ON THIS SIDE!"

Shinsei's Remaining Reiatsu: 2700 Reiatsu

Shikai Posts: 1/10

[ryuujinn00]

Saix yawned slightly as several bala bounced harmlessly off of his body. Most arrancar-level bala are already have little effect on him, what more those that aren't of arrancar level? However, he still gripped his sword tightly, eyeing activity from the corner of his eyes. Several hollows tried to take a bite out of him, but instead of drawing his sword, he used his free hand to grab the nearest hollow by the head, and using his tremendous strength, whirled it around in a circle, pushing back all the hollows attacking him. He then forcefully gripped the head, causing it to explode grotesquely.

It was then that Shinsei shouted something about saving Dimitri, and letting Saix take over the two dozen Adjuchas. This. This is what Saix loved about joining these types of mission. Overwhelming number of enemies, all a step above their normal hollow counterpart. This time, his bloodlust just flowed out of its cocoon, as the captain drew out his sword with extreme joy. At the peak of his draw, he forced his sword outwards, producing a nova of wind, which knocked back several of the adjuchas converging in on him. Before he could move more, however, rocks fell from the roof of the cave, cutting him off from the colossus adjucha and the two other shinigamis.

"ITS JUST YOU AND ME, YOU BASTARDS! YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Saix roared in bloodlust as he suddenly charged through the masses of adjuchas in front. Upon moving, he brought his sword forward, in a stabbing fashion, catching the nearest adjucha in front of him. It pierced the adjucha's head, and with a flick of his wrist, severed it vertically. He then kicked the carcass off, sending it crashing towards the others, as he moved towards the next. This time, instead of just attacking one, he swung his sword with full strength in a wide arc in front of him. It generated one wide, slashing sonic boom, which traveled in a straight line. It was then followed by two more. The three Sonic Booms raged through the masses of Adjucha. No matter how advanced they were, they were not on par with Saix's strength, at least majority of them. Those that are physically weak got bisected, or were torn to shreds. However, some actually survived, powering through and rushing at Saix with full strength.

One adjucha, in particular, one that looked like a minotaur, rampaged at frightening speeds towards the Captain.Its horns impacted on Saix's longsword, with enough force to actually push Saix a few inches back. This, however, made Saix only more aggressive. He laughed with a maniacal tone, as he grabbed the minotaur's horn, and broke it. As he did, he slashed the adjucha in half, from the head down. He then threw the horn towards the nearest Adjucha, hitting it right on the forehead. One adjucha managed to get close to Saix, and attempted to bite him. Saix defend himself by raising his left arm, which the hollow attempted to sink its fangs on. However, Saix's reiatsu strength was too powerful. The adjucha's fangs broke and it roared in pain. The captain then grabbed the hollow's upper lip, pulling it closed, and as he did, he sank his blade on the ground in front of him. Using his right hand, he pushed on the hollows lower jaw, forcing it outwards. Within seconds, the hollow's mouth opened far from its limits, and after another second, Saix completely ripped the adjucha apart, splitting its head horizontally form the mouth.

"YAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MORE!"

Saix was on a killing frenzy. Limbs and body parts were flying all over the place as Saix hacked away. Pretty soon, only two remained, and that's when he heard Shinsei say something about having strong enemies on their side. Saix's fiery passion flared up as the two adjucha attacked him. He didn't waste time with the two, as he quickly disposed one of them by punching the adjucha's face with all his might, and then grabbing the other one by the arm, twisting it, and then, with all his might, he slammed the adjucha into the rocky wall, causing it to burst with force. As soon as the rocks were blasted away from the impact, Saix grabbed his sword, and kicked the remaining rocks in his way.

"ALRIGHT ZERO DIVISION MAN! WHERE THE FUCK WAS THAT GIGANTIC SHIT?!"

Again, bloodlust was lining Saix's eyes, but it was the controlled kind. Most people underestimated Saix because he seemed to not think about his actions. True, he does not think, but he moves on instinct, a very smart instinct. That's why even in bloodlust, he at least can stray away from hitting his teammates, at least most of the time.
