The Scorpion and the Wyvern [Alacrán]

[Hela]

It's another night in the Hueco Mundo deserts. Pretty calm... Pretty peaceful... Well, for the most part anyway. The sands seemed still at this point of time. However, things would quickly begin to change... A suddenly line, a bulge, an underground dweller zoomed through the sands as something was chasing it.. Surely enough, stomping would be heard as a black colored hollow trailed shortly behind the creature underground. The large Wyvern knew something was dwelling below her. She just had to catch it! It could be food!! Her massive footprints followed behind the line as she tried to keep up with whatever it was that was just good at digging! 

"Come here, you! Food! STOP SWIMMING!"

Yes... Hela honestly had a thought that perhaps this creature was swimming in the sands. She wasn't entirely wrong but it's not water. As the wyvern trails closer and closer to her mark, she would quickly get jinxed! The creature was now making zig zags in the sands. Unfortunately, with her being feral still in nature, this obviously caused a huge confusion to her. She began to zig zag with the creature now in the hopes with obviously keeping up with it. Little did she know however, this would slow her down a lot as now the creature would fire off straight. The wyvern began to pant as she went straight now. She was starting to lag much behind.

For anyone nearby, they could hear her pant for sure. The damn thing was now further and further as she stopped now to catch her breath. She was honestly not a powerful hollow at this time. She seemed to be slow right now because she was just starting to become something... 'new'. As she caught her breath, she looked up to realize her food had gotten away. It was a pretty sad sight to the wyvern but she knew she would catch it one day. Just had to keep hunting for other things to eat then. As she slowly walked off, she began to twist her neck... Cracking can be heard in her neck as she was releasing the pressure it had from exercising like that.

"Stupid food... I will catch you one day! You wait!"

It was really embarrassing to miss that opportunity. She had remembered seeing it sleep on a rock before it suddenly spotted her and zoomed off. If perhaps she would have just snuck up on it... Just maybe! Hela would drag her tail across the sands as she was clearly bored now. Slightly hungry, she would try to keep her beastly mind out of the food section and would rather just pretend that didn't happen. The wyvern had hope no other being watched her try and catch that sand dweller... That would truly be an embarrassing thing!


Alacrán

[Alacrán]

Lucky for Hela, no one has seem to have been witness to her rather amusing attempts at catching a meal. There is, however, a loud cracking sound as if some one were breaking through concrete. The sky seems to quiver and tremble for what seems like a near full five minutes. Then suddenly a large crack appeared in the sky and a grotesque bird-like Hollow that was the size of a car bursts out from it. It appears severely wounded and bloodied with a terrified look in it's hollowfied eyes. It seemed to be struggling to barely hold itself in the sky, putting in a great amount of effort in getting away from the crack.

The reason becomes apparent when the second, even larger, scorpion-like Hollow burst out from the crack and lands on the ground with a solid thud. Alacrán has finally made it to Hueco Mundo. After the shit show that had gone down a couple days ago, Alacrán felt the need to get out of the world of the living for a bit. So he decided to borrow the idea that Camila had came up with and force a fellow Hollow into using the Garganta to escape him.

Admittedly, the gross bird Hollow had given him a bit of an issue with it's constant dive bombing on him. His armor even looks a little scratched and roughed up but still not too worse for wear. After he'd managed to stab it with his stinger, the bird monstrosity had begun to lose it's strength and not be able to use it's wings to the full extent, allowing Alacrán to have beaten it half to death after a failed dive bomb.

This had caused it to rethink it's course of action and try to flee. And so he leaped after it as soon as the Garganta had appeared. Now he's here, breathing in the rich Reiatsu filled air. He goes to take a step forward when the sound of something squishy draws his attention down to his leg which has sunk into the white sand. He lifts the leg up and finds his sharp limps is covered in blood and bits. It appears he'd landed on Hela's prey.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL FOLLOWING ME YOU CRAZY BASTARD!" Alacrán ignored the bird Hollow's screeching as he stabbed into the ground, sticking his forelimb into the sand dweller once more and drags it out of the ground looking at it curiously. It's then that he finally seems to notice the wyvern, his body tensing up a little at the idea that he might have to be fighting two Hollows now.

[Hela]

Watching her prey get away wasn't the easiest thing to let go... However, she happened to notice that tearing upon the sky as it began to crack like cement on pavement. Her yellow eyes peered up and thought to herself just what the hell this was that was causing this. The last time she's ever seen something like this was when she was roaming the world of the living and watched a larger hollow crack open the large cavity like portal. That's when she ends up following it back to what is now Hueco Mundo. As soon as the cracking commenced and a rip she immediately knew down in her consciousness just what was happening. Someone.... or something is making their entrance into Hueco Mundo.

'Hmmmm.... Is this a new hollow? Perhaps it's someone coming back from a feast.'

.....

First came the first hollow. An ugly bird-like beast landing down appearing all messed up. She was a decent distance away from them as she perked her own body up and expanded her wings. This isn't good. Something caused this hollow to get badly injured. Unforunately, in this situation Hela doesn't know if this hollow is a threat or not but whatever caused this could be a threat themselves. Hela stood her ground as she suddenly saw the next figure freefall from the garganta and that's when it became apparent who had done this now.

A larger hollow... Big but not as big as a gillian comes out and happens to land right on the creature she attempted to catch. He landed perfectly on top of it as a sharp end of his body landed and impaled the creature. It has seemed that things were about to get interesting now. This hollow was heavily armored like herself and possessed a nasty stinger on him. If he's as tough as her... She won't lay a dent on him. If a fight was inbound, she just hoped that her armor was thick enough to protect herself from the other hollow's arsenal.

As Hela looked back at the bird hollow, it had screamed something at him like some enraged lunatic. Her eyes looked over at him who prepared himself for combat with the sight of Hela within his eyes. Great, so it might appear this may be a fight after all. Hela doesn't know how strong this hollow is but one thing's for sure... The wyvern better keep herself on alert. She quickly threw her chest up and stretched her wings out as a way of warning him not to strike her. She honestly didn't want any involvement in this madness but it seemed like she had no choice. However, with a weak hollow... One could say this is a perfect opportunity for something..

"YOU. STINGER." She barked at Alacran.

"I WILL NOT ATTACK YOU BUT YOU BETTER NOT ATTACK ME. YOU KILL MY PREY BUT I WILL FORGIVE. YOU ARE SHELLED LIKE ME. WE NO HURT EACH OTHER."

Hela was basically trying to communicate the best she could. Being a feral hollow, she lacked speech. She was hoping perhaps with them both being heavily armored, it would be completely pointless to combat each other. At this time, she kept herself wide and big but only in self defense. If he was to shift his focus off her and stand down... Maybe, just maybe the two can mutually back off. However, it's all up to the scorpion to make his decision.

Alacrán

[Alacrán]

Alacrán's mandibles click together for a moment before he tosses the sand dweller to the ground, "I'll do as I please. Lucky for you, it doesn't happen ta involve meddling with some small fries meal. Oh and a word of advice, ya ain't gonna be catching shit all the way over there." He turns his attention to the bird Hollow, who was watching this interaction happen, probably hoping the wyvern and scorpion would start a fight, "And as for you, get the hell out of here before I decide to make a meal out of ya. Or before that one does."

He chuckles as he watches the bird Hollow's eyes widen in fear then goes to leave the scene without another word. Alacrán watches the creature fly away as quickly as it could before cackling, "Idiot." He takes a step forward and suddenly disappears from sight. A second later there is a screech of pain from the bird Hollow as Alacrán falls on top of him, swiping at it's wings and painfully crippling it. There are cries of pain and pleading from the bird before he's silenced by another swipe from the scorpion. He chuckles before piercing it up with his limbs and dragging it over and tossing it with the body of the sand dweller, who appears to still be alive, although very injured.

He glances back up at the wyvern, "Consider this as a truce. And my name isn't stinger. It's Alacrán. What about you? Never seen a Hollow like ya before. Then again I haven't seen many Hollows. How long have ya been here in?" While Alacrán wasn't trying to be friendly, he did need someone to at least show him a bit around Hueco Mundo, this being his first time here. This Hollow seemed a little feral but it could speak so perhaps he could make the most out of the situation. If worst comes to worst, he could probably take it out with his venom and strength.

[Hela]

This was indeed an awkward moment for her. She had no idea what the hell was going on or who was the good guy here. She just watched quietly as the two were going at it with words. The wyvern kept herself firm and on point. One thing was for certain, the scorpion stinger guy was a tough guy right there. He was definitely someone she needed to be careful of. As she watched the finale of this unfortunate bird thing, she would blink in surprise by his fast speed. For someone so armored, he was quite fast.

The wyvern glared at him for a moment and slowly started to lower herself once he admitted a truce between them. It was a good thing too honestly... He seemed stronger than her but probably not too much stronger. The wyven folded her wings back and looked at him with a calm expression on her face. Seemed like the two were gonna get along.

"Ahhh. Yes! Alacran! You are strong, yes! I am Hela. I have lived in Hueco Mundo long time now. Food here is actually bad in numbers. I remember world of the living had much. Much, much... Many speak like me! It is rare! RARE I SAY!"

She pauses to clear her throat... She was having a hard time speaking so long. Truthfully, she was much more intelligent. It was all just stored in her head sadly.

"I have been here long time... Long time, like decades... Not much goes on here, Alacran. Many strong fellows roam these lands... You must be cautious. Some hollows not as nice as me-me. If you worry on shinigamis, there are none here. All gone. Bye-bye. They are scared of Hueco Mundo."

The wyvern remained silent now. She wanted to give Alacran a chance to respond.

[Alacrán]

Alacrán's tail twitches for a moment as he takes in and tries to process what the wyvern had said, "So the only Hollows that remain here are the strong ones then? What of yerself? Ya wager yer strong enough, with as small as you are?"

He watched for it's reactions very closely. It's speech was pretty basic and simple but it could speak so perhaps he could have use of it. First though, he needed to see if it's reaction was as simple as it's speech. Most other Hollows were wary of him because of his size if they were alone but a minor prodding at their capabilities usually made them ignore their caution and reveal their true intentions.

If this one was as simple as the other Hollows then he'd have use for it outside of becoming a meal for him. He'd probably even let it live longer than he'd normally allow other Hollows, although that is not a very high bar. If it betrayed it's simple speech though and managed to restrain itself...well he won't be able to keep it around for long. Something as clever as that is a danger to his own survival.

[Hela]

Hela tilted her head towards Alacran as he asked if she was a strong hollow. Honestly, she's really never thought about it in all honesty. Was she really that strong? Maybe not quite... She's had to fight a couple hollows before and she seems to be slower and somewhat weaker then most. It's really just her armor that makes her tougher then most. Hela would look over at him with a calm response...

"Not too strong. Stronger then others. Weaker then others.... Hard to say! Yes, mainly fellows here!"

Hela would try her best to keep up with the Alacran when it came to talking but she knew he was far more advance with his speech then herself and even others. Hela didn't want no problems with this one... He surely presented himself as a strong fighter. Hela would step slightly forward in a passive manner as she would attempt to establish something between the two.

"Why not come find food? Eat others, yes?"

[Alacrán]

Alacrán's red beady eyes narrow as he squints at the wyvern as he tries to decipher the meaning behind it's calm response. It hadn't responded to his prodding but he couldn't tell if that was because it was restraining itself or because it just simply didn't understand that he had been insulting it. He snorts as he shakes his head, rubbing his bladed limbs together before shrugging.

"I guess there's no harm in that but I'd eat that before it get's away."

He gestures to the sand crawling Hollow that he'd given to the wyvern along with bird Hollow. He walks closer and shoves his arm through it, finally finishing it off. He stares at wyvern waiting and seeing if it'll accept his offering or not. "I can't spot things far away and I also don't fly so having you as a scout will definitely help me get around and hunt easier...however I'm not sue if I can trust you quite yet Hela. You've proven to be smart enough or at least have enough to have survived this long and you didn't immediately attack me-which I gladly appreciate by the way-but how can I know you won't lead me somewhere that'll put me at a disadvantage for you to use against me and try to kill me, hm?"

[Ludwig Verrlicht]

Alright so I'll be grading this. I'm going under the assumption this is a JT since ya'll didn't attack one another.

For both of ya'll you've made 32 paragraphs together. So ya'll each get 160 TP.
