[Akando Bena]

Akando was slinking around Hueco Mundo, searching for some new prey to attempt satiating the endless hunger he felt, spotting a lone Hollow in the distance hiding behind a tree, one of the tree's that happen to be in the beginning of the Menos forest. This lone Hollow was in the form of a Chimpanzee, peering around the tree into the forest at something that Akando couldn't see at the time. Laying low and moving as silently and slowly as possible Akando Managed to get within fifteen feet of it before it noticed his presence.



Too late for it to react Akando surged forward bringing his claws forward and slashing both arms of this Hollow preventing it from using either limb as the blood poured from it's wounds. Not wanting to wait any longer Akando latched onto this Chimp's throat before ripping out a large portion painting the clean sand below red. With one more final strike to ensure the Hollows demise he raises his claw and in one fluid motion brings it down creating a deep and wide gash from it's chest to it's abdomen.



Collapsing from all the damage it sustained Akando began to devour the remains, cleaning his claws after finishing his meal, ensuring they remained pristine. Looking around the tree once he finished cleaning up he wanted to know what the Hollow was looking at, there it was, three Gillian walking through a Garganta. Not wanting to miss this opportunity he ran forward as fast as he possibly could, arriving at the Garganta just in the nick of time as it began to close. Surging through the what remained of this exit Akando followed far enough behind as not to be noticed by these Gillian.



Walking out of the Garganta revealed they were now in the world of the living, specifically in some large city as they were surrounded by large buildings and crowds of people. True, this isn't normal a place something like the Wendigo would prefer to hunt but he took what he had as the hunger already returned to it's full strength. The previous meal only mitigated the feeling by a slight margin and upon finishing it was already as potent as it had ever been, so strong Akando didn't care this wasn't the best place for him to hunt.



Moving a good distance away from the battle, he notices a small dark alley way, choosing to use that place to ambush prey, getting comfortable in the darkness he knew it was time. "Help, help me I'm stuck", the sounds of an elderly woman yelling waft from the alley, drawing the attention of two young men of around the age of twenty. They were running from the explosions and destruction being caused by the Gillians and Shinigami they couldn't see, hearing the calls for help they decide they were far enough from danger and went to help what they assumed to be an elderly woman.



They were never safe, at least not since the moment the decided to enter the alleyway, that is when they forfeited there lives to the predator lurking in the darkness. They barely had time to scream as Akando moved in to block their exit before smashing one of them against the wall creating a decent cracking sound as the building wall took the impact from the body. Not giving the other even a second to let out a scream at the sight of his friend Akando went for his throat with his right hands claws, opening his neck making it impossible for the young man to let out anything but a gurgle.



It didn't take long for the spirit of the guy who lost his throat to appear, standing above his corpse in a state of shock, only just barely noticing the monster standing before him. Akando waits and watches as the new soul begins stumbling backwards before falling on his rear end, moving forward slowly he stops when he is standing just above the soul. Lowering his head he faces his antlers toward the soul before immediately swinging it to the right quickly basically beheading the soul. 

Turning his attention behind him he realizes the other young guy is still breathing, unconscious from the slam but still alive. Wandering over to him Akando opens his jaw unnaturally wide, wide enough for him to fit the skull of this human inside it before suddenly clamping it shut. Akando didn't wait a while for the soul to pop out, which just happens to be face to face with Akando. Screaming didn't help him as nobody nearby could see or hear spirits, so Akando ended it fast by biting down on his shoulder and sank both his left and right claws into the souls side, digging deep into the abdomen while biting down even harder. 

Akando begins to eat this soul which just happened to die from the shock of the sheer damage and pain dealt to it, devouring it as if the soul was nothing but a small cracker, not even effecting his hunger at all. Finishing this one he switches his attention over towards the first soul he killed, which he quickly begins feasting on what remained of the body. Keeping to the dark alleys after this Akando keeps attempting to lure more poor humans to their demise, in a feeble attempt to quench any amount of his hunger.

[Alacrán]

After being shown around Hueco Mundo by the wyvern, Alacrán knew exactly where he wanted to go. Menos Forest was sure to be filled with plenty of strong Hollows that he could feast on and if the name wasn't a joke then the Gillians should be around here as well which gives him an easy way to travel back to the world of the living. At the moment however, he was searching for a meal and a challenge to see where he stood compared to these so called 'stronger' Hollows. 

Wild screams of pain draws his attention to the edges of the forest. His mandibles twitch as he listens to the unlucky Hollow out there before he digs his bladed limbs into the ground, uprooting the hardened ground beneath him. He continues pushing the ground aside for several more seconds, digging only a couple feet down past what he needs to crawl in, before he has a hole big enough for him to fit in. He keeps breaking the through the ground, pushing the rubble behind himself as he heads towards where he heard the screams.

As he digs through the ground he gets a funny feeling like he's being watched. He turns around and watches the hole and tunnel he'd left behind, a cautious look in his eyes as he squints. After a few seconds of staring he shakes his head and turns back to continue digging but that feeling of something being wrong burns and he quickly steps back as a massive fist breaks through the roof of the tunnel and into the ground right where Alacrán had just been.

Before the hand can retract itself back through the roof, Alacrán quickly rushes forward and swipes at it with both limbs. The hand falls off as the rest of the arm quickly pulls out, the howling of pain filling the hole. A second hand grips the edges of the new hole and begins pulling the ground away, revealing the long muscular arm attached to the weird, bestial looking Hollow who growls as it stares daggers at Alacrán, "You're going to pay for that you low class filth." The scorpion doesn't waste any time getting into the action as he leaps up, breaking through the ground and landing right next to the weird Hollow.

Being closer now, Alacrán's eyes widen in surprise as he stares down at this hollow who, aside from his rather large arms, looks like a human, maybe even a Shinigami with the sword at his hip. Still he has no doubt it's a hollow or at least was at one point as he notices the hole in it's chest and not to mention the fact that it's all white uniform looked nothing like the Reaper's all black ones. "What...are-" He dodges out of a wild swing as that the weird Hollow just threw.

"What's the matter? Never seen an Arrancar before? You may be strong but jeez you're just as stupid as any other Hollow huh." Alacrán's mandibles click together in annoyance but he recognizes that name. Camila had mention something about an Arrancar. What are those? Looks like he won't get to find out from this one as it cackles at it's joke if you could call it that. Alacrán leaps forward, driving his limb right through the weird Hollows neck, silencing that ugly cackle. The Arrancar's eyes widen as he reaches up with it's one hand to try and stem the bleeding. Alacrán doesn't give him much time to try though as he drives his arm into the back of the Hollow and ends it's existence as he scarfs down it's body.

With that being done, Alacrán glances around to try and figure out how close he is to that scream...unless this Arrancar had been the reason it was produced. He is about to hop back into the hole when something out of the peripheral of his vision catches his attention, causing him to look out of instinct. He barely catches the tail end of the Hollow following the Gillians through the Garganta. A twisted smile forms on the scorpion's mask. He runs after them and manages to just in time to squeeze through the closing gate and run after the Menos.

When he exits out of the other side, it seems like the action had started just as soon as they had arrived, which didn't surprise him really, especially when three Gillians are involved. He watches as a group of Shinigami try to minimize the damage that's caused by the fighting as well as a couple of humans who are shouting in fear. Alacrán spots one that's standing and staring at the Shinigami in awe. Oh...well they can't have that happening now can they. He jumps down from where he'd appeared out of the portal and lands right behind the human, shaking the ground slightly as he does. The human turns around and stares up at him not with awe like he had with the Shinigami but with fear. Alacrán chuckles as the human's mouth opens and he stumbles over his fear trying to vocalize it.

Alacrán shakes his head, "Don't bother." And before the human could let out any more ramblings of fear, Alacrán swings his limb right down the center of the human, cleaving him in half. He waits for a moment before the humans soul appears and tries to run, which surprised Alacrán as most times humans are too shocked after death to run from him. This fills him with a sense of excitement as he leaps after the human, pinning him down and then tearing into him with his mandibles, feasting and giving in to the bestial hunger thart resides within him.

[Akando Bena]

Swiftly moving to the next alley Akando begins his attempts to lure more unsuspecting souls to their death, sadly the battle a few blocks over have caused a lot to high tail it away from the area but some remain. "Tick tock, goes the clock, And Now what shall we play? Tick tock, goes the clock, Now Summers gone away." This song sung in a small female child's voice seemed to be ignored by most as the rushed past fleeing the area. A single person did however hear the tune and wander up to the dim lit alley trying to spot the child singing.

Leaning into the alley this human actually managed to see Akando just standing there singing, about to scream Akando swiftly moves in grabbing the poor man by the arm with his left clawed hand. Essentially throwing this person farther down the alleyway Akando faces them and listens as they scream, a slight sense of satisfaction seemed to flutter through his bestial mind. Rushing forward the sound was cut short as Akando immediately bit down into the mans head, allowing for a more peaceful snack as he finished devouring him from head to toe, this time feeling as if he ate the soul along with the body.

Just like all the other things he ate before this did barely anything to diminish his hunger and whatever was suppressed of it returned instantly after finishing. "And here I thought the Shini were going to take all the fun today, at least I can take pleasure in destroying this small fry." This voice came suddenly behind him, turning to see the source of it. Standing in front of him was a female about five feet tall or so with long black hair flowing passed her shoulders, she was well built and was gripping this small necklace.

Akando wasn't sure what to think of this, two humans were able to see him and this one was acting strange compared to the other one. Suddenly the hand holding the necklace stretched toward Akando, within seconds of this the hand burst into light becoming a bow or at least what looked like a bow. "Well, if a mindless monster like you can make your peace now would be the time." Aiming the bow towards him Akando's instincts screamed something bad would happen if he didn't move so listening to his gut he jumped up and latched onto the wall with his claws moving to get closer to this magic bow wielding woman. 

This action wasn't to soon as a blue shining arrow of energy shot through the area the his head was previously in. Snarling from rage Akando raced forward in an attempt to get behind this human, they however seen this coming as they jump backwards leaving the the mouth of the alley and landing in the middle of the now empty street. Moving into the last spot the woman was in he stared her down, unsure if he wanted to follow her into the open or remain more hidden in the dark. In the end his hunger was in control so the idea of possibly satiating his hunger was to much so rushing out was the only option after all. 

Sending two more arrows at him Akando dodges the first one rather easily, the second one manages to skim the side of his back as he ducked under it. Taking this opportunity he lunges forward slashing out with his claws at the legs of this woman. Avoiding the loss of her left leg she still ends up with a significant gash, this damage might not take her out of the picture but her speed is now hampered and it's pretty noticeable to him. "You'll pay for that you stupid beast, I hope you suffer."

Clearly this human was acting on emotions because her next move left her wide open for an attack, lifting her bow up to be about six inches from his head she takes aim. Reacting purely on his animalistic nature Akando slashes at her left arm stopping the attack from happening as her arm is very nearly torn off. This was both to stop the attack and cripple his prey all at once and it seemed to work as a scream left her lips as she fell backwards onto the ground. "Have a nice day", this teenage male voice was the last thing she heard before he plunged his teeth into her throat causing a gurgle before silence. 

This was a dangerous meal and Akando is unaware of how dangerous this battle actually was but in the end all he cared about was eating this human to help calm his endless hunger even if only for a moment. Finishing his meal like always brought the very slightly diminished hunger back to it's full power and this time instead of immediately heading back to an alley he began to lick clean his fur and claws. For all the people who could see and happened to be in the area they would just see this monstrosity that could be recognized as some sort of wendigo just sitting in the middle of the street cleaning itself.

{Consumed}Class 8 Human x1
Class 7 Quincy x1

[Alacrán]

As Alacrán finished off the souls of the humans he'd killed, he turns his attention to where the bright flashes of energy had come from curious as to who or what else could be fighting aside from the Shinigami. He spots an arrow made of energy go flying and his mandibles click together. He begins moving away from that area but keeps his focus on it as he doe. Should probably stay away from there if that's a Quincy. I'd rather not have to fight one of them as well.

A crash from behind him draws his attention away from that fight as a very injured Hollow lands near him. It growls as it spots him but before it could do anything else, another figure lands on top of it, causing it to give off a screech of pain before it is silenced as the figure runs his sword through the creature. Alacrán quickly becomes defensive when a second Shinigami lands next to the first. Neither seem to have noticed him yet.

"Jin you need to be more careful with how you fight. That one got really close to taking your head off." The first Shinigami that had landed and slayed the Hollow, Jin, shrugs as he turns to his partner, "Eh I'm fine. You worry too much Rokku. Besides, if any of them get too close to taking my head off that's why I have you here righ-" The Shinigami tenses and suddenly stops talking, causing the other one, Rokku, to grow nervous. "What is it? What's wrong?"

Jin's eyes narrow as he scans the area around them. Alacrán had hidden himself behind a nearby building which was an impressive feat in and of itself. However he seems he hadn't managed to escape Jin's notice as the Reaper's eyes fall onto the building Alacrán was using for cover. "Looks like we're not alone. Come on out Hollow. I could sense you the second we got here." Alacrán's mandibles click together on annoyance before he steps out from his hiding spot. Rokku let's out an amusing panicked squeak of surprise but Alacrán's attention is on Jin, the one who had spotted him.

"Wow...you're a big one huh. How the heck did you manage to hide yourself so well? If it weren't for your spiritual pressure, I wouldn't have been able to sense you and THAT would have been unfortunate." Jin readies his weapon after he notices how rigid and tense Alacrán's body has become. This was going to be a very fun fight. "Jin...I think we should wait for back up....it hasn't attacked us yet so maybe it's scared or something...maybe it's size is just an intimidation fa-"

Before the boy could finish his sentence, his friend had already bolted towards the scorpion. Alacrán felt a rush of excitement as the chance for battle begins and he charges to trade blows with this Shinigami. That is...he would have if he hadn't spotted the other boy running to flank him with raised hand and a finger pointed at him. He quickly recognizes the stance from his previous encounters and forgets about going for Jin, the Shinigami that was rushing him, and instead bolted towards Rokku who was in the middle of an incantation, "Arise god of thunder! Awake mother of storms! Unleash the lighting on the sinners!"

As Alacrán watched the lightning begin to leave the boys finger he knew he wouldn't be fast enough to change his path so he simply took another step forward in his charge and disappeared as he stepped into an Ulcera. Rokku looked confused and shocked as his attack missed simply struck a building. Jin however knew what would happen next and shouted as he sent himself flying to Rokku. "ROKKU MOVE. IT USED AN ULCERA. IT COULD POP OUT ANYWHERE" The warning came too late however as right at the same moment that Jin reached Rokku, Alacrán had emerged from the Ulcera right next to him. He drives one limb into the Reaper's side and blocks the sword swing from the other with his other arm.

The look of shock and fear in his friend's eyes is the last thing Rokku would see before he's painfully lifted up by the Hollow and is forced to look into his eyes, a twisted and sick glee filling them as he watches the his prey struggle to say something through the pain. It isn't until he's lifted to it's mouth and has the scorpions mandibles piercing into him that he finally let's out a pained and contorted cry of agony. It doesn't last long however as Alacrán quickly consumes the Shinigami and then turns on the second one who has a look of absolute horror paralyzed on his face. "You...you...m-monster...you'll...YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"

Alacrán let's out an amusing and twisted laugh as the Shinigami runs at him with his Zanpakutō raised high to come in for a downward strike. Even though that last blow from the sword earlier sent a heaping lot of pain through Alacrán's nerves and weakened him a little, he still felt strong and confident enough that'd he'd be able to take on this lone and emotionally broken Shinigami. So instead of dodging the Shinigami's attacks, he just simply blocks with his limbs, gaining scratches and cuts all along his limbs from where the sword connects.

Alacrán chuckles as he swats the Reaper with the backside of his arm and sends him flying into a nearby wall, "Yer not gonna be making me do anything ya puny little Reaper. Not with pathetic blows like that. No wonder ya had ta have yer friend back ya up. He was the more dangerous out of the two of ya wasn't he. A shame he wasn't quicker." Alacrán let's out another bout of crazed laughter as he watches the Reaper slowly get up, his legs shaking. It seems like the crash had roughed him up more than Alacrán had expected it to.

He grins as he takes another step forward and disappears behind another Ulcera. Jin's eyes widen as he quickly leaps the the side right as Alacrán appeared in front of him, just barely escaping the Hollow's blow. It seems that the pain from the previous blows ealier had slowed Alacrán down although he wasn't showing that pain. No he was still grinning behind his mask as the Shinigami comes flying towards him with another wild swing that Alacrán dodges. He was having too much fun with this fight but he knew he'd have to end it soon or else the other nearby Shinigami would spot him or worse he'd begin to grow too tired.

So right as he dodges Jin's strike, he retaliates with his own strike that the Reaper manages to block but can't hold off for long as the Hollow presses down on him with all it's weight. Being so focused on holding back the massive Hollow causes him to miss the tail that sneaks up beside him and stings him in the leg, causing him to scream in pain as the venom burns it's way through him. This distraction was enough for Alacrán to give one last push and cause the Reaper to buckle and bury his bladed arm deep into his opponents shoulder.

He doesn't give the Shinigami much time to react to the pain and shock as he jabs him in the stomach and lifts the poor soul up to his face, "As much as I hate yer kind, ya fought well little Reaper, so I will give you a quick death and let ya join yer friend." Without a moments notice, he quickly snaps off the Shinigami's head off with his teeth and ends the fight as quickly as it had started. Breathing heavily he quickly begins to finish off the rest of the body before turning to observe what other chaos has evolved, slinking off and behind the shadows of another building.

{Consumed}x2 Class 7 Shinigami

[Akando Bena]

While cleaning himself Akando can hear a commotion not to far from his current location, maybe a block or so down the road. Finishing the act of licking himself clean he hear a scream causing his head to quickly turn so he can stare in the direction the noise came from. Not wanting to miss a possible meal he begins moving as quickly and silently as possible, trotting down the sidewalk while sticking as close to the sides of the buildings, using the slight shadows cast by them to remain as hidden as possible.

Getting closer Akando can see the results of a battle recently finished, in fact the victor was currently eating the loser of the fight. It was a big scorpion like Hollow, taller than him but not quite as long. That however is not where his attention remained for long for upon getting a little nearer he noticed a figure poking half their body out of a nearby alley, staring at the horror that had unfolded. Keeping his focus upon this person Akando moved as stealthily as he could, arranged himself to be about two feet behind this what he can now tell to be a man wearing a robe like piece of clothing with a sword in hand held behind himself, using the corner of the alleyway to lean the upper half of his body out of the mouth of the alley. It didn't take much studying to realize he was terrified, in fact his sword was visibly shaking, sweat was even visible trickling down his sword hand and down the part of his face Akando could see. 

Not managing to notice his emanate demise creeping up behind him the man uses his free hand to wipe the sweat off of his forehead. It was at this moment Akando decides to speak using a grandfatherly voice, "How you doing kiddo?" This of course lead to the expected reaction of the man immediately turning around to see Akando standing too close for comfort. His eyes went wide in fear and he was clearly trying to say something but his fear was preventing any sound from escaping his mouth. 

Finally after what must have felt like minutes to the man but in reality was only like seconds he forces out a scream while stumbling backwards, swinging the sword in his hand wildly at the same time. Easily dodging the wild slashes Akando follows him out into the street, in view of everything around, "Get away, GET AWAY!" His fear clearly clouding his judgement as he completely forgets the Hollow that killed his comrades, putting all of his hysteric focus on Akando, tripping over his own feet as he walked backwards. 

Hitting the curb on the opposite side of the road from the alley they came out of the man fell onto his back dropping his sword as he hit the ground. His weapon was still in reach but before he could attempt to grab for it Akando was already above him putting his right claw on top of the mans right wrist, this prevented him from grabbing hold of the sword. His eyes began to flutter madly as he screamed with the full power of his lunges, this was cut short though when akando slashes with his left claw cutting the mans throat open. The scream quickly turned into a gurgle as he swung with his left hand at Akando's mask, with the little amount of strength he had it did nothing to the Hollow holding him down.

Instead of dragging it out any longer Akando bit down into the guys skull, bringing an audible cracking sound as the fellow fell motionless. Not waiting another second he began to devour his newly acquired meal. The hunger faded slightly as he continued eating up his food, this is the best feeling Akando ever gets to enjoy, a mere moment of his hunger slightly subsiding. Then within a minute or two he was finished, hunger returning to full power and only the blood on his claws showed that he was only just recently eating.

[Alacrán]

Alacrán glances over at the sound of the screaming and spots Akando just as the Hollow finishes up his meal. He makes his way over, stopping as he's several meters away from Akando. He narrows his eyes at the Hollow, "This is a special opportunity for both of us wouldn't ya agree? How about we have no funny business between us Hollows and divide up this town between the two of us while the Shinigami are busy with the bigger ones yeah?"

Alacrán glances about to watch as the Shinigami try to handle the Gillians. Surely their numbers have dwindled by now but he's noticed that the group of Shinigami who'd be working on minimalizing damage and casualties. They're currently performing Soul Burials on several unfortunate souls, at least six by Alacrán's count, that had gotten caught up in the fighting. Alacrán grins as he spots them and then turns his attention back to Akando, "Or even better, we can work together and make short work of that group of Reapers over there and get a couple of extra souls while we're at it. Yeah?"

[Akando Bena]

As Akando is licking himself clean from the blood of his last meal a strange scorpion like Hollow made themselves known, even going as far as suggesting they divide the town between the two of them. Tilting his head Akando is clearly confused by this conversation, the animalistic mind he has doesn't help when dealing with situations like these. Then this Hollow changes gears, suggesting instead they work together to wipe out the group of Shinigami in the distance, while he doesn't necessarily understand what he was saying he gets the meaning behind this scorpion turning to face the sword wielders in the distance.

The only way Akando could react to this was simple, drool began flooding from his mouth as the thought of so many things to eat were so close by. Even with his mind the way it was he understood from the physical indicators that this Hollow wanted to work with him. Letting his hunger drive the decision home Akando was already moving as stealthy up to the group as he could manage, keeping to the alleys and shadows whenever possible while keeping an eye for where his possible partner is.  

[Alacrán]

Alacrán had watched the ghastly Hollow slink away without a word, curious as to what that was about for a while before he shakes his head. There wasn't much else he could do about it and he just had to take the chance and assume that the Hollow was going to help him out. He stares at the dark alleys and shadows for a moment as he watches the lanky Hollow stalk towards their unsuspecting prey and they guard. His mandibles click together in anticipation as he realizes that the creature did indeed understand him and was opting to work with him instead of against although it wouldn't have bothered him either way.

He begins charging towards the group of Shinigami just as Akando would check on his partner. As the group notices the stampeding Hollow heading towards them they all begin to ready their swords however they weren't quite ready for the Hollow to disappear as Alacrán steps into another Ulcera and steps out of it emerging behind them and slashes at the group of them, catching one of the poor dead souls in the slash and slicing a Shinigami as well. The rest all scatter like roaches as they raise their guards and keep their attention on the Hollow.

Alacrán chuckles as he glances down at the re-dead soul and stabs it as he raises it up to his mouth. However one of the Shinigami who'd been attending to the soul, the same one who'd got caught in the slash, screams as she runs forward and strikes the Hollow with her sword. Alacrán's mandibles click together in irritation as the pain from his nerves sends a shock up his leg and spine. He quickly strikes down at the female Shinigami with his arm whose own arms raise up to defend but simply ends up getting carved into by the scythe arm.

Two other Shinigami shout in anger as this happens, most likely some of the unfortunate girl's closer friends and begin charging towards Alacrán, who welcomes them with opens arm, a grin and a rather sinister laugh. As he barely blocks and holds off these two Shinigami, panting slightly as he does but doing his best to hide his weariness, he scans the shadows to try and figure out where his supposed ally has gone and also make sure that no one else had taken notice of this little skirmish.

[Akando Bena]

It seems this other Hollow wanted to be the first one to initiate combat, this was ok in Akando's primal mind as it meant an opportunity would arise to strike at the people wielding swords. If anything would cause a big enough distraction for Akando it was this larger scorpion Hollow charging right at the crowd, to make it even better he disappeared more then likely using the same ability Akando uses before appearing again right in front of a few of them. With one good swing a soul feel down dead again and one of the swordsmen--A female--ended up getting cut as well. 

Keeping to the shadows just a little bit longer he watched as his current partner picked up the soul that was just slaughtered and was about to devour him, all this did was remind Akando how hungry he was. While his partner almost managed to get the soul in his mouth the attempt was cut short as the female swordsmen was still capable of fighting taking the chance to attack him, however, the attack didn't even seem to scratch the thick carapace. Clearly angered from the interruption the scorpion lashed out again this time killing the women gaining outraged screams from two other swordsmen--both male-- who began rushing at the Hollow.

Now was the time for Akkando to make himself known, choosing to focus on the light swordsman heading at Alacran. Dashing from the shadows his target wouldn't even have a chance to react thanks to his focus being on the scorpion Hollow. Biting down into the man between the neck and right shoulder Akando used the momentum to snatch him up carrying him in his jaw about ten feet before suddenly stopping and slamming the man down into the ground right in front of Akando.

The other swordsman would more than likely stop his charge as it would soon sink in that not only was his remaining friend just snatched away and now stunned, laying on the ground, he would also notice the precarious position he is in, in between two Hollows who were both capable of quickly ending a fight. Lifting his right claw up Akando would slash the mans throat insuring he won't be alive long enough to help his friend survive the situation. Once this is done he would turn to face the now pale from fear Shinigami who was now all alone.

Akando would take this time to begin mocking the last Shinigami, “I know the loneliness of being a prisoner. I know the joy you feel when your friends come to rescue you and the fear of them being injured and defeated.” Once he finishes he would simply move forward, slowly approaching the swordsmen, drool driping from his slightly open maw as thoughts of feasting fill Akando's mind. Reaching about five feet from the Shinigami Akando would lunge straight at the man and with one quick swipe the guy would find himself staring at his own standing body. 

Turning around Akando heads back to his first kill where he will begin devouring the body as if he hasn't eaten in years, hunger fading slightly but only to return the moment he finished. Appeasing this feeling was impossible, though he didn't understand this right now with his animalistic thought pattern, so their was only one thing to do. Facing his second kill Akando would first head to the body, if Alacran didn't try taking it for himself, Akando would then begin feasting. Finishing up the body he would then head over to the head to gobble it down, again, if Alacran wasn't going to try taking it first.

Shitoke had been doing his best to pick up some more things for the guys back at Squad 12. Effectively energy drink and food runs since the others were so busy that they couldn't be asked to get it themselves. At this point Shitoke wasn't going argue with it. They would help him when he needed it so he'd help them now because that's what squad members did right? Thus Shitoke punched in the coordinates to karakura into Squad 12's personal dangai machine. So far he'd actually managed to get these in correctly for two weeks so he wasn't expecting anything crazy like he'd had occur awhile back. And this is where it all went downhill. See Shitoke finally having a sliver of confidence actually went off and typed in the wrong coordinates since he didn't pay nearly as much attention as he usually would.



Thus the machine was actually set for Sidney, Australia. Without a second thought about the coordinates and a quick check for the correct amount of funds he stepped through the portal and into the dangai. The walk over was leisurely and quiet, something Shitoke was slowly growing to enjoy the more he traversed the Dangai. However all that was shattered when he walked through the opposite end of the Dangai and walked out in way the fuck elsewhere at the side of "Actuallynotkarakuratownlol". Shitoke stood there in shock as the door behind him closed. "Huh. . . I'm not in Karakura? . . ." He blinked as he looked around the city while he stood in the air.



"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?! DAMNIT I HAD SUCH A LONG STREAK OF NOT MESSING THIS UP!!" Shitoke just ruffled his hair immensely before yelling out again in frustration. With his hair thoroughly messed up and him being immensely more annoyed than he was prior SHitoke simply glanced around the city with a deep set pout. I mean at least the city looks nice. I suppose I should come visit later when I'm not busy but we'll figure that out later.



Out of nowhere a shinigami, likely a good deal younger than Shitoke had ran up to him. He'd looked like he'd seen a ghost or something and form the way he was flailing around and crying Shitoke had to admit he was more than a little bit overwhelemed on several levels. For one thing he had no idea what could scare someone so much that wasn't li- And thats when it hit him. His life had been in danger. A quick chat and a few questions later and he'd quickly realized there were hollows attacking the area. Shitoke wasn't certain what he should do. Thinking about his last fight with Jeff. . . he really wasn't that strong. And the others were likely dead by the way this dude explained things.



I'm not terribly keen on this either however I am here and it is our job to kill hollows. . . more so a secondary thing for me but still. . . He is getting others though right? Perhaps if other capable shinigami come then I won't have to worry too much about surviving. . . mmm. . . Ugh. I think my hands are tied here. Shitoke simply nodded at the currently fleeing shinigami who opened up a dangai entrance behind him. Once they were gone he made his way over to the last known spot where the hollows were. And his suspicions were confirmed almost immediately. The others were dead and currently being consumed. Meanwhile Shitoke was hiding on top of a nearby building and watching this go down.



So not only is there two but they seem to not want to go after one another. So they are tag teaming. . . greeeeat. Mmmm my self preservation is calling again and it's wondering why I'm not answering. Ugh! I'm not happy that I'm doing this. Perhaps if I wait the two will split up. Yea that sounds like a good idea. I'll just stay up here, wait until they get further apart, and then perhaps I'll get the jump on one of them. In the meantime Shitoke kept himself hidden, as best he could, behind some of the buildings rooftop stone walls. Head peaking just a bit above it so he could keep an eye on the two hollows below him until he would find a good moment to deal with one of them.

[Wynne Kuchiki]

Chaos. Chaos and Mayhem. That was what Wynne arrived too once she entered her Senkaimon. There had been reports of Gillian running amok in the World of the Living and a multitude of squads were being sent out to stop them. Gillian needed quite a bit of souls in order to evolve, so they usually began killing in populated cities in order to quickly get the amount they needed. If they were left as is, not only would innocent souls be lost, but the hollows would come back stronger than before. Something they couldn’t let happen.

“Alright listen up. We’re here to reinforce the squads that came before. More hollows have arrived than what was first expected, hence the reason for us. Some of us are new, some aren’t. Either way, remember to stick together and watch each other’s backs.” Facing her leader, Wynne looked at their current squad makeup. First they had Gin, an older silver haired man who had just finished speaking. Judging from the muscles she could clearly see poking out from his robes, close combat was more than likely his forte. Which was good, seeing as how she was the complete opposite.

Second was another female like her, fresh out of the academy. Reiku was her name if Wynne’s memory was correct. She had a few classes with her a while back although the two never talked. She had long orange hair and was currently trembling. Whether it was because of anticipation or fear, Wynne knew not. She was sure she’d find out soon enough. Last but not least was Wynne herself, so no explanation was needed. Three people in total. Which wasn’t much, but it was all they had to spare. There were other attacks occurring elsewhere across the World of the Living, hence the reason for the low power of their squad. Still, any type of reinforcements were better than none.

Looking at the area around her with a frown, Wynne prepared herself mentally. This was a warzone, one of the first she would personally be participating in. If she wanted to see another, she would need to stay with her squad and be on guard. She’d support from a range as she trained to do. Peppering hollows with Kido until nothing of their monstrous forms remained. This was what she had been training to do. Now it was time to see if all of her time and effort was worth it.

As the small group traveled throughout the city together, it wasn’t long until they met another one of their forces. A taller man with ashen colored hair. Traveling to his position and crouching down next to him, Wynne listened quietly as Gin began to speak. “You know what’s the current situation here son? Any specifics will be helpful.” As the two men began to converse Wynne watched Reiku worriedly. Her trembling was getting worse and she hoped the girl was ready for the fight up ahead. Nervousness leads to mistakes which leads to dying. Something she was trying to avoid.

Shitoke almost jumped in fright when he heard someone start speaking to him. Instead he simply gripped the wall tighter and looked to his side. Glad to see that it was a fellow shinigami. Well well, they were much faster about getting reinforcements. Far more quickly than I thought they would get them. Perhaps this won't be nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Shitoke took a glance back at the two hollows below him and then a glance around at the other gillions currently roaming around. His face blanched as he had no idea how he didn't notice the lumbering monstrosities earlier. As well. Ignorance is bliss. And his bliss was now officially over.

With a deep breath he looked over at the group before focusing on the leader in charge. In a quiet voice he spoke to him, "I know about as much as you all probably know. Apparently gillians popped in out of nowhere and along with them came these two stragglers. I. . . do not have the power currently to take out the gillians so I was hoping to purify these two. So far it looks like they killed whatever initial group of shinigami were present. At least that's what I got from the only survivior who ran back to the Soul Society to inform more people. That's all I know. As of the moment I'm simply waiting for the two hollows to split up so I can take down one of them."

Shitoke glanced back down at the two who were still eating. Hoping that he wasn't loud enough for them to hear. Which in truth was a bit ridiculous to consider since he was speaking softly to the man next to him. But honestly? Shitoke had no idea. Maybe one of them could hear a fly fart. He couldn't take that risk when this wasn't really his job by any stretch. He needed to go back, get to Karakura, and then bring back the snacks before returning to his research. As he glanced over the remaining people of the group he had to admit, he was reconsidering his former thoughts on the matter. Only the man seemed formidable enough to really handle the situation. And even then there were gillian present so perhaps he wasn't. And certainly not the orange haired female. She was about as scared as scared could be. They'd need to an eye out for her lest she join the deceased below.

With his glance over and he looked back at the man in question. "Any ideas how to handle this whole thing? And are there more coming with ya'll to help clean this up? I'm not super certain with all of us we can take on everything here at the moment. Especially if more come after these guys. Just so you know, I'm more of a reiatsu specialist. I use kido and the like to combat my foes. Though I've got a little something for all ranges of combat given I know Hakuda as well. So if you need me that's at least something for ya'll to go off of."

[Wynne Kuchiki]

Rubbing his chin in thought, Gin narrowed his eyes before responding to Shitoke. “We should probably leave the Gillians for stronger reinforcements. With all of us together we might be able to take out one, but judging from the looks of things, they don’t seem to be too keen on separating from each other anytime soon.”

Taking a moment to look at the lumbering beasts, Wynne had to agree. While they weren’t roaming that close together, it was still close enough. If they attacked one of them, the others were sure to come running. And they’d be another dead squad. “More reinforcements are coming, but it’ll be a bit. There’s other situations elsewhere we have to deal with, so for now it's just us and the other shinigami remaining here. Taking out the small fry would probably be in our best bet. Not that impactful in the grand scheme of things, but helpful nonetheless.” Taking a peak at the two eating hollows below, Gin nodded his head before resuming his speech.

“My name’s Gin and I’m a close ranged specialist. Reiku, the orange haired one, performs well enough at all ranges with Wynne, the small one, being a long ranged specialist. As for our battle plan, we outnumber those hollows down there two to one so we can use our numbers to our advantage. Reiku and I will frontline with you and Wynne supporting us from afar. Or you could join the frontlines as well. Up to you. Just remember once we attack to not bring the fight near the Gillians. If we do, we're dead. Everyone ready?”

Patting Reiku softly on the shoulder and giving her a reassuring nod, Wynne answered their leader. “Yes sir.” A small nod from Reiku was her only response and the two turned towards Shitoke. Once he made his decision, the fight would begin. It wasn’t one that was in their favor, but that was how fights were for people of their strength. If she wanted better odds, then she would need to be stronger.

[Alacrán]

Alacrán wasn't the type to steal another's kill unless he was absolutely desperate but on a hunt of this caliber he was definitely not going to be desperate. So he let's Akando claim his meal and dig in while he straightens his back a little and begins to scan their surrounding area in case they got ambushed. And luckily he did as he manages to spot the newly arrived group of Shinigami. He quickly reaches out to tap Akando with his bladed arm and motions towards the group, "Appears we got company. I'll go and drop in on them to throw them off guard and give you an opening to snatch one or two of them."

He slowly begins to slip away from Akando's position and try to place himself between several buildings tha could hide his form enough that they wouldn't be able to easily tell where he was. As he disappears behind the buildings he then looks to Akando and nods before he crouches and pushes with his legs hard into the ground, sending himself into the air, disappearing into an Ulcera just as his feet left the ground. He goes flying over the buildings while in his Ulcera and emerges from it just as he angles himself to land on the group of Soul Reapers, letting out an unholy screech as he does.

As he crashes down onto the group, he immediately takes a swing at the muscular older man, looking to cleave him in half with just the one blow before quickly turning and also taking a swipe at one of the females in the group, the one with long orange hair that he had spotted trembling in fear which had caused a grin to be brought to his face, as they both looked weaker which probably meant they were their ranged support and he didn't want to have to deal with close and ranged combatants if he could help it. So he takes a swipe at the female with his full force, although having already been decently struck early in the hunt, his strength wasn't at it's best as he was having to also deal with his armor making his nerves explode with pain.

So while he swung with his full might on both of these Shinigami, at the moment his full might could only amount to 100. His reaction and speed were also quite hampered down by his armor. Indeed this was not a fight he wanted to be drawn out for long if he intended to make it out alive. So in order to deal with that, he uses his tail to try and strike and poison the second girl so that way they wouldn't have to worry about either of the ranged fighters pestering them.

{Veneno del Hombre Muerto}Class: 8+

Technique Type: Hollow/Arrancar Technique [Custom]

Technique Element: Poison

Usable By: Alacrán [Reserved]

Technique Description and Effects:
Alacrán has learned how to actively use the poisonous reiatsu of a Hollow and is able to make it effective not just against Quincy but all beings. At it's weakest and base form, a target injected with this venom will begin continuously losing 10% Strength for 5 posts. At class 4, the venom now also begins to drain the targets Speed in the same manner as Strength, the venom now working to cause a full body paralysis. The amount the target lose increases to 20%. At class 2, the venom now eats at the Reiatsu of the afflicted target, on top of Strength and Speed, literally eating away at their soul as Alacrán's reiatsu consumes the target. The amount the target loses increases to 30% The class of this technique is equal to Alacrán's Class (min 1).

Poison Resist: Should the target possess this skill then the venom will affect them as such. A 1 means the amount of Strength, Speed, and Reiatsu lost is reduced by 25%. A 2 means the venom loss is reduced by 50%. A 3 means the venom loss is reduced by 75%. A 4 means the venom loss is reduced by 75%, only affects Strength, and lasts for 2 posts.

How to use technique (How is it activated):
Pay the reiatsu cost. The user must land a hit and inject the venom into his targets, either with the stinger on the end of his tail or through a cut with his scythe-like limbs or mandibles.

Technique Drawbacks:
Reiatsu costs equals to one class higher than it currently is (min 1).
