Thread Title: Face Off [PvP, DP, R] Twins and Adrastos vs Harle
Participants: Twins, Adrastos, Harle
World: Human World
Death Setting: Permanent Injuries Enabled
Rating: R
Location: Kyoto, Central Plaza.
Rush hour, thousands of people were vacating their busy jobs, finishing their socializing, and schooling to return to their homes. The sun setting over the scape of the snowy mountain top of Fuji when this takes place.
Special Conditions: Harle is permitted to post in response to each attacking post in order to counter the 2 against 1 opposition.
Circumstances: The Arrancars continue with their search for answers, guide by the information given to them by their Quincy accomplice, and so, they begin their search around the lands surrounding Fuji. As they search the land their guardian watches over them, constantly fighting the urge to consume until snapping, turning the calm day into a bloody frenzy. And so, the Vice Captain of Squad 2 is dispatched to cease such aggression and eliminate the threat that has brought such dread to the day.

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

Busy as always she would have to assume on the afternoon streets of Kyoto. Has been a while since they have ventured into the city the last time. After all, most of their progress had been halted by a certain Quincy during a festival. Because of such meddlesome individuals, the pair were not able to scout the region properly to see whether or not anything was familiar to them or not. But this time there were no issues to their constant search for answers. If there were any forms of interference, then their friend, Adrastos would surely take care of it, and if not, then they too shall rid themselves of such nuisances.

It was after discovering the name of the mountain, and matching it with Iraishin's description from such vague images, what ever they were seeking was within the surrounding the base of the mountain. Up to their own knowledge of Kyoto it was the first to on their list to be searched. Among several others on their list Kyoto seemed to be most logical sense to go to first. Surely it was do to their own familiarity with it but at the same time since it is the largest of the cities that they need to search.

Together with their companion, the twins were able to scour the entire city throughout the day without a single delay in their search. Both high and low not a single inch would not be missed. Tiresome it all was and Shiryou could not help but cry out and whine as their search was prolonged. Near the end of the day their search was a failure. There was nothing that Iraishin found that was remotely close to familiar to the images in her head. Shiryou believed it to be a waste of time while Iraishin saw it as eliminating a meaningless option from the selection process. Now there were only three more areas to search.

Nonetheless, all she could hope for is that the answers were to be soon in hand. But, that would be short lived.

______________________________________________________________________________

After an entire day of searching both high and low, their search was complete. To their shame that nothing was found nor leading to another clue of what could be used to narrow their search. Still, this did at least provide them with less options, less areas to search for their answers. "Completed. There is nothing here for us. We should move on to the next town." In total, there were only four towns and cities that matched the description as to what they sought out. Thus far everything was going according to plan.

The only thing that she had not accounted for was that of the hunger of a Hollow. Their guardian, Adrastos, was reliable in his own sense of duty and strength. Something that they do not desire to contest with. As they had searched for the entire day she had forgotten that the trio had not fed since they departed from the holds of Las Noches, and now, the unrivaled hunger that Hollows were known for had emerged once more. This time in the form of a tyrant lizard. Down below the pair would gaze in distraught as the beast lay waste to all in his path.

Were they like this as well before taking on their current forms? Hard to say really since they have no memory of it. But surely, being controlled by such influence must be terrifying. The rampage lasted what seemed like hours but in reality it was only for twenty minutes. It was to her surprise that a new presence emerged from the skies above, and it was not friendly either.

[Adrastos]

No turning back. Once the deed was done there were no means in stopping what was to come next. A feeding frenzy upon human souls that scurried about in all directions. It had been nearly a full day since his last meal, and for Hollows that could be quite dangerous, especially for those with a festering hunger brewing from within. Feeding was second nature for their kind and actually to his own surprise that he didn't snap sooner. Normally for wild Hollows they would lash out for the first opportunity they had to fill their growing hunger, so of course Adrastos would not be an exception, however, unlike the others it was his own sense of honor that held his mind intact for a while.

Yes. A feeling in which he himself could not ignore. That said, a portion of the human remains dwell within the hulking mountain of muscle and bone. What remained of a ancient warrior who had long grew distant of the time he was familiar with. Now surrounded with sights and sensations that were alien to him, and yet, an old lingering hunger for a worthy battle always remained. That hunger was what drove the beast to feast as well. Primitive, yes, foolish, yes, but mindless, far from it actually. Swiping up a pair of humans that attempted to rush into a small supermarket did little to sway his appetite, for they were not as appealing as the Hollows he had devoured before in Las Noches. The sense of constantly hunting for a meal, as well as a battle never ceased to change in the world.

Regardless of the countless centuries that had past there were somethings that remained. Originally, the King of Beasts offered aid to the two girls as they sought out their own answers in the world, as they all did. Adrastos sought freedom from his hunger, and to quell the raging anger for the Shinigami within him, while the twins sought out their blurred images to which he believed it to be their past. They all had their reasons and so he could understand such a basic idea. Nonetheless, his hunger came for him, and overwhelmed what little stood for as a human conscious, and replaced with instinct and hunger.

He did little to conceal his presence out in the open while the two stood high above him, watching as the bloody scene unfolded before them. Three more humnans were broken down in his mouth to fill only a small fragment of the hunger that beckoned for more. Sirens filled the air along with panic and shrieks of pain and loss. Little did he know that another presence came about from among the swirling pool of chaos. Besides from himself and the twins, his own energy sensory picked up on a different signature, one that he was more than familiar with. "RAGH! SHIMIGAMI!" It was on top of him, but he could not recognize where exactly.

A quick dash to both sides and even beneath his towering form, there were no individuals that stood out that could have possessed such a power. Could he have been wrong? Or could it be that his senses were acting out again due to his hunger? Hard to say really. Confusing really since he was still not use to detecting spiritual wave lengths. Actually, his dectection ability pretty much sucked and relied heavily on his more baser senses. Energy sensory could have been more useful if he were to find prey with a stronger spirit, but sadly he focused most of his capabilities in fighting close range. How poor of him to overlook such a concept.

What a foolish thought. How could he acutally think about attacking from a distance? Where was the warriors spirit in ranged combat? Cowards really. Only a warrior would want nothing more than to test his mettle against someone who is equaled or better yet more powerful than they are. That is what it meant to be a warrior. To have flesh pound against flesh, steel vs. steel, and might against might. Tis all of these things that created a terrific battle. A battle to remember regardless of who won. But for glory sake, for honor's sake, Adrastos had to be one who prevailed. With that said, he could have sworn something nudged the top of his head to only have the beast cry out in frustration and turn to face what would have cause to disturb his feeding.

[Kaijin"Harle"Quinn]

Twas all well and fortunate before the call came in. Birds were chirping, children were playing, and the Lieutenant laying beneath the Sakura trees with a gentle breeze going about. A perfect evening without a care so to speak. Been a while since the French woman had ventured out on her own since her first meeting with Marcus. Awww, how much she missed his company. A shy timid young man for someone of his strength. The thought made her giggle with glee and excitement, wondering about the time of when their paths shall cross again.

Anticipation is what filled her very being as calm currents of air brush against her slender body. There was really nothing happening within the Soul Society, so naturally their were no orders to be issued, which gave each individual Squad some off time. Leisure time could have been taken for granted for those who were constantly working, like her past Captain. Never did see him enjoy himself at all. Maybe that was how he was, but who is to say really. They didn't really spend much time to socialize or work beside one another to actually become formal or anything. Still, must have been some serious issues he had to forfeit a large amount of his time to work. A pity.

Harle understood the difference between work and play, since she juggled between the two on a daily basis. All work and no play can make someone a dull person from what she has heard, and can actually be true on some instances. Guess that could have been said about the Captain. Nonetheless, with his disappearance the Lieutenant had to assume the responsibilities of the Squad as the next highest ranking officer. Which meant paper work upon paper work. Reminded her of the days at the Academy. She was no where near fond of them since she only managed to pass based on her talents on the field and combat instead being book smart. Not to say that her tardiness and late arrivals did not contribute to her having to repeat the Academy again. Now that was embarrassing.

How fast does time fly by. It would seem like just yesterday that she attended the school, joined Squad 2, met Marcus, and now is operating the Squad on her own now. Geez, must have been a long day for all of that to have happen to her. Where does the time go? Well, since there were no orders issued the jester ventured out into the world of the living to find some amusement and take her mind off of things. She did thought about paying a visit to Marcus at his home, but then she would be more of an unannounced visitor and surely that would have thrown Marcus for a loop. A soft chuckle managed to slip past her pursed lips. And if she were to visit his workplace, Uzaki Expertise, then surely it would have made things difficult for the both of them. After all, they were suppose to be enemies.

Keeping a secret sucked but it had to be done. To ensure that neither one of them would be persecuted for loving the other, and no telling what their respective side would do to them if they were ever caught. All she could do is sigh at what she knew could only be a lovers concern. Heh, since when did she begin to worry about a man and most of all love. Not that she did not like it, in fact, she was more than in favor of it. The thought of being changed in the course of a single night with Marcus had altered what she use to fear, he gave her strength. Too bad that she couldn't reminisce further of that night for a Hell's Butterfly emerged from the hour of twilight to provide her with urgent news.

In fact, it was around the same time when she felt slight tremors resonating in the ground itself, followed by the series of sirens fluttering toward the center of the city. The Lieutenant had been to careless to keep her senses open in the world of the living that Hollows could have been present, causing mayhem where ever they pleased. How careless of her indeed. Recomposing herself, the Shinigami fled to the scene. The information was sketchy, only stating that a massacre was underway in the center of Kyoto, and that the cause was in fact caused by a Hollow. What the message did not scribed was the presence of Arrancars as well.

Scaling across the sides of building to fling herself onto the edge of a five story marketplace complex, Harle could only bear witness to what could only be described as chaos. Smoke puffing from the debris of crush vehicles, left over fires from what may have been caused by explosions, and the riddled corpses torn to pieces. And the creator of such a messy stage could only be what rampaged in the center of it, a Hollow. To be more specific, an Adjcuchas. Based on the description of its size, strength, and form, there was little chance that it could have been regular Hollow. Wailing about like a savage animal it consumed several humans already as its massive footing flattened whatever it stood on.

Harle had to stop it, and fast. Time was scarce and she had to attract its attention, so without hesitation the Lieutenant flung herself into the air to only fire a trio of kunai knives down upon its unsuspecting head. She only had little to work with, because it was her own damn fault for not expecting an encounter with a Hollow, only bringing the minimal gear that she would normally use in a fight. Besides from the dozen kunai knives, she only had the regular illusionist tools, such as the flash paper cards and drapes, but some smoke and flash bombs with six senbons. Not really the adequate tools she would want to use against a foe that towered her own size by at least six times, but the material its body was encased in.

Bone or armor of some sort. Her knives alone would do little against the bone plating covering its head, and the little exposed areas of flesh would possibly be the only means to actually causing it harm. Regardless, she had to deter this creature from its current course and have it focus on her. Little effort was needed due to its gaze falling onto her, shortly followed by a displeased growl rumbling from behind its egg white mask. To think that it was once human. Nevertheless, she had to purify it at all costs. However, what worried her the most was not the slow moving creature, but the presence of the Arrancars that were currently within the vicinity. She could not find them with her focus solely on the Hollow before her. She will have to keep her guard up until they showed themselves, but for now, it was her against the Adjuchas.

The Hollow was slow, so out maneuvering it will not be a issue, just had to be cautious of what it was truly capable of. Whatever its response would be the Shinigami would charge in a zig zag pattern, moving from side to side at her top speed with her Zanpakuto drawn and a kunai in her free hand. The woman's speed surpassed that of the beast, so in conjunction with her acrobatics, she would be able to escape the danger that its physical attacks would ensue. The first act would be to discover its strengths and weaknesses. Along with causing a little discomfort by slashing at the exposed areas of flesh along its shins and upper legs. Hopefully she will be able to discover something about the creature that she can use to her advantage.

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

A Shinigami appeared within the short amount of time that their guardian began his feeding. Here for the rescue like some hero against the villain who is about to reach the climax of his or her plan. Much like the cartoons that peeked at when the two pass by an electronics store. She can literally spend countless hours in front of those shops, wandering around the tv sections with little to no care in the world. How come life couldn't be more like an anime? Could be interesting to see how life would be if it were one.

Anyhow, the Shinigami was more than likely gonna try to kill their new fond friend, and that was something that Shiryou couldn't allow to happen. She grew to like Adrastos' antics, and how he was, generally, kinda like a very large pet. Not only that, but overall he kept them safe and helped them, well her mostly, with feeding and the such. Shiryou never ran out of the good stuff to eat and didn't really have to worry about threats or the possible dangers of running into Shinigami's or more naughty Quincies hehe. Looking down at the messy scene below the Fraccion couldn't help but believe that their guardian perhaps will need some help with against the Shinigami.

The way how this Shinigami moved about, seemed much quicker than first appeared, especially since it was a young woman too. A woman covered in makeup from first glance when she first appeared before moving all quick and stuff. A clown maybe, or perhaps someone who just loved to wear heavy makeup? Shiryou wouldn't have the foggiest idea how a girl is suppose to wear so much makeup because Shiryou wouldn't be caught dead, err, deader, with makeup on ever. Any who, Adrastos would appear to have some what of a difficult time with someone as quick as her, in fact, Shiryou couldn't track her either. Like a slight blur in her vision, the Shinigami pounced back and forth in a zig zag pattern around the large dinosaur shaped Hollow. Really did hurt her eyes just trying to keep up.

Didn't know what their guardian would do to counter someone who was quicker than he was, so to counter the little speed demon Shiryou would conjure a little support from her open palm as she dragged her twin to the ground below. Never did Shiryou favored long range support, she found more excitement in engaging in close quarters. She could feel the adrenaline rushing through her veins as she descended, her single eye trained on the scuffle happening a few yards away from her. Before touching the ground the red sphere cried out toward the right side of Adrastos' bearings, probably missing by a long shot since she it was almost near impossible to keep track of the woman's movements. Neither her senses or speed could match the Shinigami's, even if the Bala was a bit faster than her. Regardless if it hit or not, the small force of reiatsu would result in shrapnel of sharpened rock and hazing dust to help obscure the woman's field of vision.

________________________________________________________

Iraishin could not help to follow along with Shiryou's little lust for excitement. Although, she did have to agree with her method of thinking, losing their guardian would be a tremendous loss on their end. Aside from Vannan providing a means to slip past heavily watched areas, the beast proved to be an asset to their cause as long as he was fed. Such a fool to be easily manipulated because of such urges of primal instinct. On second thought, it was embarrassing to be connected wit someone who was, is closely relatable to a wild beast. Still, the pair could not allow their little pet to perish at the hands of a Shinigami.

Shiryou had alreayd commenced with the assault by firing a Bala toward the base of the beast, as well Iraishin, targeting the opposite side in an attempt to halt the Shinigami's movement. "Halt. I am afraid we can not allow you to bring harm to our pet." the Arrancar spoke in a monotone voice. The Fraccion didn't feel an obligation to protect the Adjuchas, it would be more of a pain to go about searching for their answers alone and unguarded. She saw it more as an obvious choose when looking at the long term goals they had for themselves. No matter how the the two opposing sides went about their business, the two Sonido over their obstacles to position themselves beneath the creature to cover what would appear to be a weak point due to its own lack of speed. Not that they were one to talk.

No matter, they will have to work toegther to stand make up for their lack in speed, however, their numbers did help to cover more ground than what the Shingami would be able to handle. The choice was clear for Iraishin to use the beast to the fullest, after all, the beast was still probably hungry, and what better to way to fulfill that need than the flesh of that of their sworn enemy. "Go. Eat."

Remaining Reiatsu : 1800/2000 : -50 Bala x2, -50 Sonido x2

[Adrastos]

The frail Shinigami was quicker than he had expected her to be. The enemy was not to be underestimated as they were before. A mistake he made once and reliving once again. As powerful as he was, Adrastos failed to match the Shinigami's capability to move about, clearly the difference in their ability in speed voiced a concern that the Adjuchas himself had to ahead for. Such lack in perspective caused several slices to be made around the openings in his bone armor along the region of his ankles. Although the small blade made contact with his exposed muscles, the difference between their physical strength was that to the sky and earth, only leaving two small nicks to the ankles. The overly shaped ankles, along with the firmness of the flesh revealed the amount of power that his body contained.

Surely the Shinigami would take notice from the resistance her blade will have against his muscular frame. Laughable but pleasing to see that the enemy would confront the King of the Beasts head on as she did, perhaps not all of the Shinigami were cowards. Didn't really matter for his anger could not be toppled from such display of valor. Before the beast could take notice of the woman dancing around him, two red balls of fire crashed into the floor to his sides, scattering bits of rubble and dust from the ground. That instant provided the beast with an opportunity to deliver a thrusting heel blow into the scarred floor below him. Such a blow with 875 would cause a small shock wave to occur within the ground as well as shattering the material that made up such a weak foundation.

Another blast of dirt, concrete, and stone erupted from the point of contact, concealing the immediate area with dirty air. His speed was indeed pitiful compared to someone who is more agile. A warrior is no good if he can not make contact with his intended targets, it will only result in wasted strength and effort. Such a thought fueled his rage even more to have the beast charge at the woman would should be reigning over her own area, after all, the twins were beside him before he rushed forward. With mask opened and jaws gnashing against the ground, the monster felt nothing but rock enter into his mouth as his muscles tighten, flexing with each push against the floor.

Every push that was made launched the Adjuchas forward with incredible force, even if his speed was below her own. The power behind each step taken could have been felt as his presence drew closer to his intended target. All was said in done, however, the only issue with such movement was the fact of him missing, and with such power and a lack of control in speed, Adrastos would be smashing head on into the adjacent building behind the Shinigami. The pain behind such a crash will not cause much pain, not with his level in pain tolerance. But to lose control in his own movement will make him appear foolish, and create more of an opening for th Shinigami to move around in. But hopefully the shock wave he had created earlier would resonate in the ground and have found its way to the Shinigami through vibrations.

"SHINIGAMI!" the creature cried out as he charged. So full of bitterness toward their kind, for the wrong that they have done against him, and to the family he once had. The Shinigami were the sole reason he exists at this point. For the sake of his past family, for glory sake, for vengeance sake, the Beast King will eliminate all Shinigami that stood before him and feast upon their flesh. Those few images, the little memories that he managed to keep within himself burned ever so much when ever their presence was around. All that the great beast could muster at this point was the need to feed, and the rage to be processed as fuel for such desire.

((OOC: Sry for the short post, brain fart.)

[Kaijin"Harle"Quinn]

Her slashes hardly did nothing at all to the beast's legs. Bulging with peer muscle, like grinding steel against a thick layer of marble, Harle could only imagine how strong the bone material actually is. Just like with Kimiko, the Lieutenant's ability to damage the beast directly would prove to be difficult. But only that, she can only assume that the beasts overall physical strength must be at a high level, and to add insult to injury its own size would only add on to its raw power as well. The Shinigami had to insure that she kept moving about in order to avoid its strikes at all cost since a single blow can mean the end of her.

Slowly reclining its leg into into its pelvis a shrieking cry filled the air in front of the Shinigami to cut her off from her motions around the Hollow, and shortly followed by another as she went around the other side of the beast. Rubble and dust did manage to nicked her cheek as the force from the second blast, forcing the jester to yield and fall back to witness the creature bearing its foot into the ground. Even back flipping away from the immediate scene the shockwave and blast from its impact blew the Shinigami off her stance and onto her rear. How strong was this creature to have caused such force? Even the ground below herself was breaking apart. Harle could still feel the vibrations within the ground.

Just as the woman was regaining her footing on the cracked street the Hollow cried out once more as it did before, calling out for her. Harle knew that Hollows despised the Shinigami for their actions against them, but something seemed a bit strange. It felt as though its very nature was being driven by its aggression. The Hollows in the past were driven by peer instinct to eat above all else and would contest against any opposing Shinigami in their way, that was only natural, however, normally they would resume their attempt at eating anyways. Regardless if there were a Shinigami to interfere the Hollow would continue to eat as it fights or just runs away to hunt another day. This Adjuchas actually ignored the humans that scattered away from the area and was directing its full attention toward her now. She thought she was reading too much into the situation and the nature of the Hollow.

No matter since the Hollow was now charging from appeared to be at its highest rate of speed. Before its jaw began grinding against the pavement to her position, through the brewing darkened shade of dust clouds there appeared to be two figures standing where the beast was before. One with white hair while the other had black. She couldn't see the rest of their figures without straining her eyes to look past the dust cloud but surely they were Hollows as well. The entire area had Hollow all over it from what she can sense with her energy sensory, however, the only difference between them and the Adjuchas was the fact that they were in human forms, not animals or monsters. Could they be the Arrancars that she heard so much about?

Her new friend didn't provide the French woman much time to ponder as it drew closer with its thunderous steps breaking apart the ground that it ran on. It's movements were still as slow as before with Harle's overall speed twice a much as the Adjuchas, so out running it will not be a problem, but that was not the issue at hand. The real dilemma was the people in the building behind her who were still evacuating to escape the carnage outside. If she chose to dodge the attack, then the beast will crash into the building causing numerous of injuries and possible deaths, or take on the attack head on to lure it away from the building in an attempt to save the people.

The choice was obvious and it was the duty of the Shinigami to safe guard the humans in the world of the living and to guide the lost souls to Soul Society. With her speed and reflexes alone Harle would have little to no trouble positioning herself on top of the tyrant's head by leaping into the air and flipping onto the forehead region of its mask, gripping tightly to the small spikes that ran along its head to its spine. And just before reaching the building the Shinigami would thrust her blade directly into the eye socket of where it would see out of. Using the wound as leverage she would be able to tug the beast toward the side, like the reigns on a horse. Doing so in such a vantage position the Lieutenant will be able to have the beast look upon her with disgust and force itself to lash out in a different direction while aiding with her tugging motions. Of course, that was only if her theory was right about the creature.

OOC: I do apologize for the short post, I'm just tired.

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

Shiryou couldn't stand around anymore and allow their lizard friend have all of the fun to himself. Watching the two of them going at it seemed to be very entertaining to point where the Fraccion's own body was surging with adrenaline. But, that was not her only reason for acting out as she did. The Shinigami rode their friend appearing to do something terrible to him. Now she couldn't allow that to happen to him, not after all they had been through, not after all that he had provided for them. Just the thought of losing her friend made her somewhat lonely. He didn't speak much, and made a lot of noise, still, he was good company.

The clown latched onto the center of his head, clinging on some spikes or something that enabled her to find better leverage from being thrown off. Despite the situation Shiryou came rushing in, firing a pair of Balas at the clingy Shinigami attempting to throw her off of Beast King. Although her ability in reiatsu was severely lacking in power to do significant damage, the explosive force behind each one was still enough to knock an individual off balance. Hopefully that the beast was at least smart enough to actually use the moment to gain the upper hand. As pleasing as the thought was the Arrancar wouldn't have left it to chance. After all, the Shinigami was hanging around her favorite spot when riding the beast to places.

Those were good times, just sitting back while he escorted the two anywhere and everywhere they ever wanted to go. Whether it be to scour the vast lands of the White Desert or paying a little visit to the human world he had always protecting them. And now, there was someone who wanted to cause him harm. Shiryou wouldn't allow that to happen. The Fraccion herself managed to grab hold of the thrashing beast's tail to scale up along its spinal column to meet where the Shinigami would be racking their friend at. Her skill at acrobatics were not as high as the Lieutenant's but it was at least well enough to help support herself as she maneuvered on the creature.

Upon reaching the woman's location a quick swipe from her drawn Zanpakuto in a straight horizontal line. To her shame that her inability to handle a blade was laughable, however, it was that same horrible way of swordplay that made her unpredictable. It's funny in a way, since the very moment was actually reminding her of the game called King of the Hill, and when it came to strength on top of the beast, it was Shiryou would triumph against the puny Shinigami.

_____________________________________________________________

Shiryou charged in without thinking things through and decided the best course would be engaging an enemy without knowing of her capabilities. So far the Shinigami displayed a speed that surpassed their own along with a high level of acrobatics. She was indeed quick on her feet but didn't seem that she was strong enough to penetrate through the Adjuchas' thick hide. Her light weight stature and frail body didn't seem to pack the power physically to overwhelm the great beast, even so, perhaps Shiryou may have the right idea in closing the distance while she was distracted with their guardian.

Nonetheless, Iraishin decided to maintain distance between herself and the conflict itself. So, what better way to go about that than scaling up the closest three story building to gain a vantage point. The view itself wasn't spectacular, but it did allow her to take in the full perspective on how the battle was fairing while observing and learning what the Shinigami was fully capable of. Thus far her significant other would flush out the Shinigami's abilities for Iraishin to scale her and come up with a plan of attack, only then could they prevail over such a foe.

However, the only concern was if the two, Adrastos and Shiryou, will follow her discoveries on the Shinigami. Analyzing and learning were the first steps as her twin confronted the Shinigami with her Balas and Zanpakuto while the tyrant lizard wailed about side to side. Such was the nature of a Hollow, but either way his unparalleled strength was needed if the clown was as strong as she was sensing from her. And it was surely equal to that of a Fraccion, or to someone coming close to that of a low level Espada. Quite the test it will be for them to prove themselves. And without further adieu the black haired twin let out her own pair of Balas at the combatants to see how much they could handle.

Remaining Reiatsu : 1600/2000 : -50 Bala x4

[Adrastos]

The great beast could feel the tug of his large snout away from the building, but it was more like a reflex due to the soft bops to the back of his head from several shrieking balls of reiatsu, and the attempt at the stabbing thrust into his eye. With all of the commotion that was happening on his head going about, and the constant swaying back and forth from his own heavy trampling around, the blade of the horrid Shinigami managed to cut through the bone material that overlapped his eye, forming a deep scar that chipped away from his mask. The monster was furious at the slightest bit of damaged that he suffered at the hands of the wretched Shinigami. "RRRRRRAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!"

His entire weight leaned toward the right as the Adjuchas curved around, attempting to lash out at the woman on top of him. However, due to the spines that sprouted along his spinal column, and the rigged edges of his mask, the Lieutenant had a definite firm hold onto him. Regardless of what he did he couldn't remove the wench from his head, at least until one of the sisters joined into the fray on him. Another annoyance that the Beast King had to endure as he whips his body back and forth. Adrastos' attention was so fixated on the pair fighting that he didn't notice another pair of Balas screeching toward him. One of the two scathed his backside while the other missed its mark as it sailed past his legs and slamming into the ground.

How much more did he have to suffer such humiliation at the hands of not one, but two girls scuffling, treating his body as a playground. An insult in which he will not accept any longer. With that thought in mind the beast charged toward the buildings to his left, tackling into the feeble mass of weak stone and metal. This time there would be no stopping his rampage as the beast would thrash about within the building. It didn't take long for the ten story builing to give into its own weakened foundation with beams of metal railing and supporters tumbling all around the beast. Several of them scathed the bone armor that was wrapped around his body, but little damage it would due against his physical strength and mass.

Like a tank being stung by a hive of hornets there will be little to contest his strength as it remained unrivaled against those he has met already. Similar to his animal representation, the Adjuchas rammed, clawed, shook its body violently against the raw material that fell all around him, even to what remained standing along the corners of the building. Cries of the falling victims, who failed to flee the area, were erased from the pounding of metal against concrete. Still, it provided the beast with several tasty morsels to relieve him of his growing hunger. As a trio of humans fell to the ground, the Hollow pounced into the air to snag a young female while the other two bounced along side his ribs. Would the Shinigami go after them in an attempt to save them? If she did, then she will have to sacrifice the one that he was going to devour. If not, then the two other lives would be left to die as they plummet to the earth under them. No matter, since he will be fed on way or the other, even if she decided to stick on his body as the rubble clawed all over his body as they fell onto him.

The Shinigami would be forced to evade the debris if she desired to remain unharmed, and if she wanted to save the people that she could. Doing so, the French woman would be positioned away from the Adjuchas, once again allowing the beast to confront her rather than having her evading his moist jaws. Like a hunter the beast encircled his prey, nails clawing against the floor and head shoving away all that remained of the obstacles that tried to stand in his way. A territorial display of supremacy, driving the thought to all that Adrastos reigned over the immediate area, claiming it all for himself. "All... belongs... to Adrastos.. Adrastos .... King.. Adrastos... RULES." The beast cried out in absolute fury, and pride, using his muscles to amplify the overall pressure in his lungs for his cry.

Using the same method the Adjuchas cried out once again at the Shinigami. Both of his legs parted from each other to position the beast in a hunch as he leaned toward his target. Each muscle tethered against his lungs, gridding along the surface the intestines of create a more ferocious battle cry, his form of intimidation. As for the twins themselves, he didn't really care what they did as long as they didn't interfere with him and his prey. The beast was hungry, and a King always takes hold of what he desired. A fierce battle cry that stood up most of those in Hueco Mundo was resonating from deep within the Hollow's lungs to see if the Shinigami would have broken down like all the others before her. If not, then it would be a first, and something that revealed character, and inner strength. Something that he can respect to a degree.

Nonetheless, Adrastos once again charged forward, but this time the heavy creature would pounce again onto the woman's position. Considering both his overall weight and physical strength, the drop would be both devastating, and resulting in a double effect in the form of a shockwave, and minor wave of earth that rippled on the ground in a ten yard radius. Windows and the frames of the nearby structures shook violently as the gripped to their foundations, keeping themselves from toppling over onto the streets. Such results varied as civilians rushed to the basements of their respected buildings while others scurried out into the streets to flee the area. Once more there were numerous of things to eat once again. But who should the King of Beasts target first as the sacks of meat and bone scurried about.

[Kaijin"Harle"Quinn]

OOC: sry about not posting for this thread for a long while, and i do know it sounds cheesy, but i will forfeit this battle to the twins and Adrastos.

For this battle, Harle will receive two permanent scars, one vertical discolored scar, with the length of two feet, between her cleavage, and a second scar diagonal across her backside. The scar on her back will be thinner than the one on her chest.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

I don't know how we usually handle this, so I'm going to just split the victory TP between the winners

180 TP Adrastos (+50 Victory TP = 230 TP total)
190 TP to the Twins (+50 Victory TP = 240 TP total)
160 TP Harle
