[Deleted]

Taking in a deep breath of the cool winter air, Orobas stood about ten miles south of the Uzaki Enterprises headquarters with nothing more than a sadistic smirk streaked across their face. It seemed as though the day of reckoning had finally made itself present. A little earlier than anyone was expecting, but who could blame them? Surely others had to have seen something like this coming. Playing a hand a little too early, spilling a little more information than necessary, and just generally giving out more than they needed to. Little did they know, though; everything was falling exactly into place.

Humming a chipper tune to themselves, Orobas simply waited while their main ally made himself present. Things were absolutely going to go off without a hitch; they were going to make sure of that much above anything else. As Alastor likely found himself arriving on the scene, Orobas simply turned to their fellow Akki and began to speak. "Seems as though our plans are finally going to pay off, aren't they?" They couldn't help but chuckle, gently tapping their cane against the ground. A cane that was going to play a rather integral part of this entire operation, should everything end up going according to plan. "Just to make sure that things don't get out of hand, here, I'd like to let you know that I'm... 'defecting'? I'm sure you understand just where I'm going with that; I won't be publicly affiliating with the Sanctus from hereon out; keyword 'publicly'."

"I've taken the time to establish a rapport with XCution. I'll be taking residence there after the dust from this attack settles, and the smoke clears. Expect frequent updates regarding the goings on, understood?" Maintaining that same hellish smirk, Orobas let out a soft hum. "I've got to say, I'm rather excited for all of this to be going down. It feels like the end of an era, does it not? If only I'd have brought a nice Moscato, perhaps we could've shared one last drink beforehand? Ah, well; we'll have time in the future to get that sorted out, won't we?" Stretching their legs, Orobas simply nodded to themselves about everything that was going to find itself take place shortly.

It seemed as though things were finally going to be wrapping up- no, that wasn't true, now that they thought about it. This wasn't the end; no, this was the beginning. This was the start of everything that was about to happen during the day, as well as the start of Hell once again establishing a presence within the world as a place to be feared. A place that was no longer going to sit by idly while the rest of the three worlds sought each other out instead of even pondering the idea of another threat. Things were going to be different; Hell was going to once again be brought back into the spotlight. Taking the time to shift into a more familiar form, Orobas stood as a rather older gentleman, likely no younger than seventy or so.

"Well, Alastor," they said, their voice having changed considerably to meet the older gentleman they'd now assumed, "I'll see you on the other side. Let's have some fun today, yeah?" And with those words, Orobas found themselves blinking through reality itself through the Akki technique Placidus, and reappearing within the upper districts of the Rukongai, allowing their reiatsu to seep out from the body they chose to inhabit for the day. A body that a few of the Captains were likely going to recognize; a fact they were counting on.

Standing before the upper districts of the Rukongai, Orobas quickly took the opportunity to enter Quinta Etapa. With an astronomical burst of reiatsu from their own form, likely threatening to level unsound buildings in the process, Orobas couldn't help but chuckle as botflies began to quickly swarm from their own body; beneath their clothes, through pores, mouth, nose, and just about everywhere one could think. Despite this, though, it seemed that their speech was going to remain uninterrupted; a fact that made itself present with the coming words.

"Greetings, to all of you Shinigami dogs; I'd like to thank you all for giving us this opportunity to meet you here on your home turf; some of you may very well know why we're here, but perhaps I should just spill it out instead, hm? The lot of you have taken something from me; from a large majority of us, that means quite a bit to each and every one of us. Simply because the lot of you have made a name for yourselves, do you truly think that you're doing God's work? Do the lot of you think that what you're doing is just? Noble?"

"Know this; to simply take from another is tantamount to evil. From the moment that each of us have been born, we've all practiced this art; food, connections, even fellow blood finds itself taken. Not a living being in any of these three worlds is exempt from this; every living thing has taken, continually takes, and will continue to take for decades to come, perfecting this compounding sin; so much so, that to live is to give in to this, and continuously sin. Life itself is evil. It is life itself that draws not just I, but all of us into the darkness."

Coating their own body in botflies, and forming an armor of sorts from a rather large majority of these bugs, Orobas simply stood, assuming a defensive posture and awaiting for the first strike made against them. Across the entire area, loud chitterings of insects filled the air, threatening to drown out any semblance of normal thought for a non-trained individual; for the Shinigami, this meant nothing, though. The citizens of the Rukongai were likely to be undergoing something else, in due time however.

"I have accepted my fate - I know that I am evil; as are each and every one of you. Now... let's practice a different sin, shall we? Come and try to kill me; for I'll be doing to same."

{Overall Ability}
Rotting. Orobas' own Aspect of Hell, and the key defining theme beyond their powers. When rotting in regards to the decomposition of humans is brought up, quite a few people generally think one one thing that can always be found in the general vicinity of the body; insects. Whether it be flies, ants, mosquitoes, or something else, insects are generally always circling. Orobas' powers work to play up that concept. As such, their abilities revolve around the weaponization and use of various different species of insects in order to combat against foes that would otherwise seek to harm them, leading those very foes to a demise that Orobas knows all too well.

Upon entering any stage of release, Orobas is granted the option to choose a specific species of insect to begin the breeding process for, courtesy of their Primera Etapa Body Technique. More information on that process is listed below, in the technique itself. Their Overall Ability, however, functions off of the basic weaponization of these insects, giving Orobas a "basic attack" of sorts in order to make use of to allow their insects to fight for them. At any given time, Orobas has the option to begin to release a swarm of insects from their body. Each individual insect costs 1 point of reiatsu to release, and each swarm possesses a rather simple to calculate stat block based on the reiatsu spent in order to create the swarm.

Each swarm created has an Offensive Stat that functions off of the amount of reiatsu placed into the swarm; if Orobas decides to spend 1,000 Reiatsu in order to create a swarm of insects, that given swarm has an Offensive Stat of 1,000. Additionally, each insect summoned has a Durability of 1. Should so much as one point of OS-based damage be dealt to these insects, they will quickly crumble and die. As such, the Offensive Stat of a swarm is only as strong as the number of insects in said swarm; if someone killed 400 out of 500 insects in a swarm, only the 100 remaining would be able to strike, naturally reducing the Offensive Stat of the overall swarm down to a measly 100. Additionally, unless otherwise specified, this Offensive Stat is there only for the purposes of bypassing defensive techniques and other options that victims might have; a swarm of mosquitoes flying toward someone and biting them all over the place isn't going to cause very much pain, if really any at all given Pain Tolerance skills exist. Unless otherwise specified, these stings and bites serve no majorly-offensive purpose. The speed of a swarm is directly tied to Orobas' own speed, seeing as the insects are an extension of them. Each swarm can have a number of insects in it equal to Orobas' Offensive Stat x3, but after equaling their Offensive Stat, the cost per insect is instead doubled, and subsequently tripled after reaching an amount equal to double their Offensive Stat.

At any point, insects that are alive may make the choice to to assimilate with Orobas once more. When they make this choice, the reiatsu that had been spent (and any reiatsu stored within Mosquitoes), will be returned to Orobas. Seeing as their body is an insectile conduit for perpetual reiatsu, and insects are able to separately store their own Reiatsu, Orobas needs not worry about going over their own reiatsu pool, to an extent. These insects are able to individually store enough reiatsu to increase their pool by 50% of its normal maximum, and store reiatsu separately. While that might be the case, however, this extra reiatsu, upon being stored by insects, is automatically tainted, and can only be used for their release techniques and abilities. Orobas must still use their own reiatsu in order to make use of anything non-release. These insects will remain across Orobas’ body, and should Orobas be struck with attacks, these insects will naturally be killed. As they’re killed, Orobas could very well lose this excess Reiatsu. If Orobas were to run out of their own Reiatsu, they’ll still be taken out of the fight. This excess pool will immediately be lost. Any effects that would drain Reiatsu will target this excess pool first, removing this before actually taxing their own pool.

Each insect gives off its own minute reiatsu signature, completely identical to Orobas' in every way, shape, and form. In order to detect a singular insect, an Energy Sensory of 500 is needed. For every insect present in a swarm, this number is decreased by one. When these swarms start to reach numbers of 1,000 or greater, those actively trying to detect Orobas' reiatsu signature may find themselves in a difficult situation, and depending on the overall number of insects, this might potentially lead to sensory overload.

Each insect is apart of a larger hivemind, directly connected with Orobas. This means that these insects will listen to any mental order given to them without fail, and are immune to any sort of mind-control effects that may potentially be placed upon them. They have no sense of self-preservation, and will undoubtedly be willing to sacrifice themselves if it means keeping Orobas alive as long as possible. They're much more an extension of Orobas' own being, as opposed to their own individual forces looking to fight.

{The Great Hivelord}
Orobas' Primera Etapa is largely focused around laying the groundwork for every other stage they have access to. The Great Hivelord is no different. This technique servers as their main driving ability, allowing them to select the insects that can be rapidly bred and released from underneath their own skin. Upon entering Primera Etapa, or any other stage from their released state, Orobas is given the option to choose one of the insectile species they have access to breed for no reiatsu cost. From there, through making use of their Overall Ability, they can breed and release any number of these insects. At any point afterward, Orobas can elect to change the insects they're working with once per post, and for a cost of 100 reiatsu. After that, any and all insects (including those bred by other insects) will spawn as this newly-selected species.

Primera Etapa at its base form grants Orobas access to swarms of mosquitoes. These mosquitoes function much like one would normally expect mosquitoes to act, except for one major difference; instead of siphoning blood from their victims, these mosquitoes siphon reiatsu. Each individual mosquito is capable of holding one point of reiatsu, and will leech one point from their victims when struck. From there, these mosquitoes will hold onto these points of reiatsu until they take the time to assimilate with Orobas once again, at which point Orobas will have access to the stolen reiatsu, adding half to their own pool, and half to the Insectile Reiatsu pool. Until then, should these mosquitoes be destroyed before they can return, this reiatsu will then be lost to the void. Mosquito stings feel like nothing upon occurring, but two posts after these stings occur they'll leave their victims with an intense itching sensation upon every place they were bitten. Those without a Calm Mind, Strength of Will, or Battle Focus 1 will find themselves distracted by the itching sensation for one post after these bites, and will likely struggle to concentrate on the situation at hand. For every 1,000 mosquitoes biting them at the same time, this Calm Mind, Strength of Will, or Battle Focus requirement will be increased by 1, up to a maximum of 3 points.

Segunda Etapa grants Orobas access to swarms of hornets. These hornets spawned and produced by Orobas are incredibly hyper-aggressive, and will generally make use of such patterns when engaging someone in combat. These stings are incredibly painful, and rightfully so as these reiatsu-modified hornets are capable of leaving behind a spiritual toxin with each sting. Instead of only costing 1 point of reiatsu per insect, these hornets instead cost 2 in order to account for their poison. Upon stinging their victims, these hornets will leave behind that one point of reiatsu in their victim in order to propel this poison through their body and soul. While these victims are given the reiatsu as an added benefit, and can be pushed beyond their normal maximum, this does not come without drawbacks. These victims are inflicted with a sensory-hindering venom that will progressively grow worse as more exposure is forced. Upon taking in so much as 100 points of reiatsu from these insects, victims will immediately begin to feel the effects of this toxin. Their mind will begin to numb, and their vision will begin to double, with all of this resisted with Poison Resist 1. At 500 reiatsu, this poison will worsen, with the victims' visions beginning to spin and induce severe nausea. These headaches will worsen, and grow to be a splitting annoyance for those afflicted, with all of this resisted with a Poison Resist 2. At 1,000 reiatsu, this poison will continue to increase in severity to rather noteworthy extents, and blood vessels beneath the skin will begin to rupture. Naturally, blood will slowly begin to pool up and will be intensely painful. The pain can be resisted with Pain Tolerance 3, and the actual effects can be resisted with Poison Resist 3. At 2,000 reiatsu, the victims in question will find themselves going through sheer and utter hell. They'll begin to very quickly bleed from every orifice on their body, until eventual death due to severe blood loss one post later. Pain Tolerance 4 can help to fight through this pain, but no amount of Poison Resist will save the victim at this point. Should someone take 2,000 reiatsu (or any increment above for that matter), it will start with the first 500 reiatsu increment, and take two posts to advance to the next stage; this does not immediately start someone at the worst stage if they take on this much reiatsu. Those with High-Speed Regeneration, or some equivalent thereof will be treated as though they have a free 2 points in Poison Resist.

Tercera Etapa grants Orobas access to swarms of stag beetles. These beetles are renowned for their physical ability, as opposed to their spiritual inclinations. As such, these insects are unnaturally durable, possessing a durability of 2 instead of a durability of 1 per insect.

Cuarta Etapa grants Orobas access to swarms of botflies. Being Orobas' primary stage of release (aside from rare occasions that require use of Quinta Etapa), these botflies serve as a breeding tool for other insects of theirs. These botflies are capable of laying their eggs in any spiritually inclined surface; not just flesh. Upon doing so, over the course of three posts, these eggs will hatch, and the larvae of whichever currently-breeding insect Orobas has selected will spawn. These insects can be assimilated just as easily as others, should Orobas desire to do so, serving as not only a strong proliferation tool, but a just as potent reiatsu-recovery option. Each individual botfly is able to produce a singular egg, and a singular insect can hatch from said egg. Should they be assimilated, Orobas will only regain 1 point of reiatsu for every two of these botfly-spawned insects. By spending 2 Reiatsu per egg, those afflicted can force these eggs to burst early, instantly killing the insects in question.

Quinta Etapa grants Orobas access to Cicadas. Instead of acting as normal Cicadas, though, due to being Quinta Etapa and the peak of Orobas' powers, the abilities associated with these Cicadas are largely rooted in mythological backgrounds. For starters, Cicadas stand for rebirth and resurrection in multiple mythologies. As such, Orobas' Cicadas possess the innate ability to heal. While resting on a target, these cicadas will do what they can to heal wounds. After each individual cicada lands on their target, those targets will feel a soft buzzing on their body as their wounds are slowly regenerated. One cicada won't be able to do much, but in swarms, this healing process can be finished rather quickly. 100 cicadas will be able to heal minor wounds like cuts and scrapes in one post, larger cuts, burns, and hairline fractures in five posts, and severe wounds like broken limbs in ten posts. Critical wounds like organ damage cannot be healed with only 100 cicadas. 500 cicadas can heal minor wounds in one post, larger wounds in three posts, severe wounds in five posts, and Critical wounds in seven posts. 1000 cicadas can heal minor wounds instantly, larger wounds in two posts, severe wounds in three posts, and critical wounds in four posts. 1500 cicadas can heal large wounds instantly, severe wounds in one post, and critical wounds in two posts. 2000+ cicadas can heal severe wounds instantly, and critical wounds in one post.

{Strength of the Swarm}
Strength of the Swarm is Orobas' Primera Etapa Weapon Technique. What this technique does is serve as something similar to a personally-modified version of Combat Cutback, allowing Orobas to make use of their own insects in order to augment their own melee strikes. While this technique has no cost individually, spawning insects does have a cost, per their Overall Ability. This technique serves as a way to shape these insects into a specifically-defensive option. By creating a swarm, Orobas can then will those swarms to congregate around their arms and legs, allowing for their punches and kicks to take on an additional effect based on the insects in question. Each effect is granted based on the number of insects in these swarms, so mixing and matching insects for these four swarms for each limb is encouraged. Naturally these insects don't serve as defensive barriers, and will not protect Orobas at all unless otherwise specified.

Utilizing mosquitoes from Primera Etapa, Orobas is able to inflict melee attacks that are parasitic in nature. For every mosquito present in the swarm at the time, Orobas is able to make use of the reiatsu-leeching option that these mosquitoes have in order to keep their reiatsu pool relatively topped up.

Utilizing hornets from Segunda Etapa, Orobas is able to allow these hornets to sting their victims alongside Orobas' strikes, inflicting a hornet's venomous abilities with each strike.

Utilizing stag beetles from Tercera Etapa, Orobas is able to make use of the physical nature of these insects to aid them in penetrating through most that would desire to contest with them. For the purposes of breaking through items, release weapons, or defensive techniques only, these stag beetles are able to treat their Offensive Stat as 50% greater. Damage dealt from these beetles is still treated as normal, though.

Utilizing botflies from Cuarta Etapa, Orobas is able to instantly implant botfly eggs into the areas struck equal to the number of botflies currently in the swarm at the time.

Utilizing cicadas from Quinta Etapa, Orobas is able to quickly apply burst healing to those struck. Any instantaneous healing effects will be applied based on the number of cicadas currently swarming around Orobas' limbs, but the others will not be applied. This means that any healing that would be instantaneous will be applied, but those that take a full post or more will not. Only one of these heals can be done per post, and costs 100 Reiatsu.

{Exoskeleton}
Tercera Etapa grants Orobas access to two defensive or otherwise utility-oriented techniques. The first of those two is Exoskeleton. Much like the name suggests, this technique is a defensive, armor-oriented technique. While active, Orobas must keep Legatus Guard deactivated, as the two cannot stack on top of each other. While that's the case, though, this technique offers more utility when compared to Legatus Guard. Firstly, this technique does not have a standard defensive value. Instead, it functions off of a refreshable "durability", much like Orobas' own insects do but on a much grander scale, and costs 50 Reiatsu every post. The durability of this armor is equal to the number of insects dedicated to the technique. Dedicated insects can still be removed from the armor as wished, but will reduce the defensive value of this armor. While this armor has even one point of durability, Orobas is protected from all incoming strikes, much like Blut or Hierro would normally protect someone. As this armor takes damage, the Durability of the armor is immediately reduced by an amount equal to the incoming strikes. Should these strikes go over the remaining durability of the armor by so much as one point, Orobas will suffer the full force of the incoming strikes; the blows in question will not be softened in the slightest. Each specific insect naturally comes with their own effects when used as armor, and different breeds of insects can be mixed and matched in order to create unique armor. This armor can take any appearance Orobas desires, though naturally more complex shapes will require more insects.

In Tercera Etapa, Orobas can make use of Mosquitoes, Hornets, and Stag Beetles. When mosquitoes are used, when a reiatsu-charged strike makes contact with the armor, one point of reiatsu is leeched from the strike, up to the amount of reiatsu put into the attack itself, and immediately transferred into Orobas' Insect Reiatsu Pool. When a physical strike comes in contact with hornet armor, hornet venom will be applied to the attacker equal to half of the number of hornets within the armor. Hornet populations must be docked before any other type of insect when the armor is damaged. For every Stag Beetle in Orobas' armor, the durability of the armor will increase by 2 instead of 1.

Cuarta Etapa grants Orobas access to Botfly armor. For every botfly within the armor, Orobas is able to allow these botflies to lay their eggs within physical attackers, forcing a number of eggs equal to half that of the number of botflies within the armor to be laid.

Quinta Etapa grants Orobas access to Cicada armor. Cicada armor allows for other insects to be applied to allies as well. For every one Cicada used for Cicada armor on allies, that ally is able to have a number of other insects applied to them equal to the number of alive Cicadas. Cicadas are the first to perish when struck, and take precedence before hornets.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

"..." Standing along the eastern gate, it reminded her much of that day. Corpses lined in the hundreds, thousands perhaps? Before there was that feeling. That feeling that was corruptive, devastating. A feeling she was vaguely familiar with from having met sinners in her past, but it was more malicious, malevolent, cursed. Rising, to stand upon the wall of the Senkaimon, her robes flutter in the wind. Her cerulean eyes looking down over the area ahead. This aura was beyond sinister, and radiated power she rarely saw.

 “Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky." She swipes her hand in a circular motion, beginning to focus her reiatsu, before clapping her hands together. Her veins focus, and she aims her left hand out in front of her. 

"The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders." Several balls of magenta, crimson fire form around her, beginning to spike, expand, and grow in size from the far distance. Her spiritual power began to spike and would be essentially impossible to hide. She dances and focuses her reiatsu as she draws forth the epitome of her destructive power. What few Shinigami were there that knew better would begin to run, surely. If not from the powerful monster before them, then from what was coming.

"Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower! Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired!” With it, the balls condense as she lunges forward and thrusts her fingertips downward. "Hado no Kyuujuu Ichi! Senjū Kōten Taihō (Thousand-Hand Bright Heaven Culling-Sear)!" Utilizing her mastery of Kido, including this Kido, the bullets speed and home in on that sinister energy at alarming speeds, and after what seems like an instant?

As Orobas may be concluding his speech, he would find the orbs zoom in, and explode. Explode in such a massive devastating beam of range that it could level an entire region with its expanse as the force and burning incineration expands outwards. Where Orobas' energy and presence would topple buildings, Senshi's assault would make one question if buildings, daresay if this part of the district had ever even existed. The earth and stone vaporized in a moment's notice. Senshi's attack had likely killed hundreds in that moment.

However, with that assault launched, Senshi would look ahead, standing as the steadfast defender of Seireitei, and the first. From atop its walls like a sentry against all those that threatened to advance. "I am the weakest of Seireitei, and to those that threaten. Come. I will be the first to face you."

[Celes Castellanos]

Today was the day. The air was thick, the sky seemed to darken and there was a malevolence in the air. Even to someone like Celes it would be easy to tell the scent upon the dark winds. Hellish reiatsu. Her brow furrowed as she was on her way to one of the four Great Gates. Behind her was a legion consisting of dozens of her Unseated Officers. As she was preparing to delegate tasks to them, Celes briefly reminisced on her encounters with hellions. Early on in her career, she had met the Nakkabakki known as Dia. She was a member of Xcution, but her circumstances were merely unfortunate. Her heritage was not her choice. Celes was happy to have a positive experience with a Hellion for the latter almost completely spoiled future encounters. The Akki known as Orobas. Could he be responsible for this attack? Time would tell, but for now she'd turn to her Division.

One hand rested against her Zanpakutou while was planted against her waist. As her amber eyes scanned over each one of them, she began to raise her voice. "Tenth Division! This is the day that we have been training for. The denizens of Hell come to our home, seeking to threaten our way of life. As I look upon each of you, I see some of the finest that the Soul Society has to offer. We are the shield of Soul Society. We stand in the way of those who mean us harm. Now...are you all ready to defend your home!? The division that stands before her erupted into a unified roar. "Yes Captain Celes!" Celes smiled brightly and nodded. "I knew I could count on you all!" With that, Celes began to divide the legion into smaller groups. She'd assign two primary tasks to the various groups. Some were left to crowd control to ensure that they'd ensure few Rukongai casualties. Other groups were tasked with reinforcing the walls, standing guard in case the threat came with swarms of Hellions. The final groups were assigned to help the other Divisions, acting as supports for whatever tasks needed to be delegated in those Divisions. 

Celes sighed and just before she was about to join the battle herself, she felt another presence. She looked up, feeling a rise in spiritual pressure along the gate and along the walls. It felt like it was building up to something spectacular. The Captain could not tell to who the signature belong belonged, but perhaps it would be worth investigating. Bringing herself to a kneel, Celes let the energy explode from her legs. Had the walls and ground where had been standing not been incredibly durable, they have had already sustained damage as Celes rocketed upward through her incredible strength alone. As the wind rushed past her and she rose to the top, she could start feeling the spike far clearer. Soon she'd be at the top, finding herself landing just along the edge. Before her, looking down upon the threat that was Orobas, was Senshi.

Having met the Captain twice thus far: once after a cataclysmic malady that took over the citizens of the Rukongai and another when they had met at the Barracks of the Tenth Division. During both times, Senshi had shown herself to be extremely competent in the use of Kido, a skill that Celes respected. Even while she had no expertise in using it, she knew its capabilities and as such was more than happy to find Senshi here on the battlefield. Before she had much of a chance to assess the situation with Senshi, Celes heard the name of the Kido.  "Hado no Kyuujuu Ichi! Senjū Kōten Taihō!" The series of crimson fire that Celes caught a glimpse of rocketed forth towards Orobas at blinding speeds. 

Even to someone as inept at Kido as Celes, the ferocity of the Hado felt unparalleled. The initial shockwave along was enough to nearly knock Celes right off of her feet though the Tenth Division Captain ended up securing her footing after all. Hoping that the Hado would land its mark, Celes walked towards the red-headed Shinigami as the latter spoke.  "I am the weakest of Seireitei, and to those that threaten. Come. I will be the first to face you." Within moments, Celes would find herself within striking distance of Senshi as the blonde-haired Captain approached to stand beside Senshi as she spoke. "Still as humble as ever I see Senshi. It truly does seem like some things never change. That being said, fear not. I will gladly have your back against this one." Celes paused for a moment as she peered down, seeing a familiar face. A face which made her blood bubble and rise. She gritted her teeth for a moment as she tried to compose herself.

Getting her breathing and headspace under control, she spoke loudly so that even Orobas could hear. "After all...I have a bone to pick with this one. Isn't that right Orobas?!" She grinned as she felt something else bubble from within. It was more than a call to battle. Not only did she have something against Orobas, but so did Yukito. She could feel a fit of much more primal anger wash over her. Hate that was far more focused. She'd peer down at Orobas with nothing, but venom in her eyes. As her amber eyes came across the countless insects that surrounded Orobas, she chuckled, thinking to herself. "Oh. So, you have some new tricks up your sleeve..." Some time had passed between their last meetings. While Celes had grown, she was sure that Orobas had also made his own advances. After all...the insects seemed solid proof of that...

“Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky." Orobas knew those words well. Even if not for their own proficiency with Kido, their Battle Analysis skills would carry them through that level of information; Senju Koten Taiho. A rather potent spell, and one that they were going to need to do something about. As they continued to give their little speech about the evils of the Soul Society, Orobas glanced around at the screaming hordes of civilians that found themselves fleeing the area. Almost immediately, they had an idea.

As they finished their speech, and as that Shinigami finished her own incantation alongside their words, Orobas simply chuckled as each and every bullet from that technique came flying toward them at rather impressive speeds. Though, each and every one of those bullets quickly found themselves inside of Orobas' own maw, almost magnetically pulled inside of their mouth like that of a vacuum. Within mere moments, each and every one of those projectiles were quickly consumed and swallowed down by the Akki in question with a sly smile.

"Come, now, little Shinigami," Orobas said, allowing hornets this time to pour from every orifice they had, "I don't believe that's any way you should treat a guest. Perhaps I should show you?" As they finished speaking, and with the chittering buzzing of insects, Orobas launched themselves forward at 4,400 speed, allowing their own insects to carry their movement for the time being. Their goal? Appearing directly in front of the girl that had fired the attack at them; Senshi Odayakama.

At the very same time as this movement, and at the very same speed, Orobas threw a simple punch toward the girl's right shoulder. This punch naturally didn't carry all that much force; Orobas' Strength was only 34. Notably less than that of an average human being; so much so, that most wouldn't otherwise feel much of anything. Though, that wasn't where their abilities shined. With that strike, each and every one of Orobas' Hornets and Botflies struck the girl at once; stinging, injecting larvae into the girl's skin, and just generally not feeling great.

Though, this wasn't where the catch came in. If the girl found herself stung by these hornets, she'd find herself actually injected with extra reiatsu. About 2,000 extra reiatsu, to be specific. In turn, though, the girl's mind was going to find itself numbing; vision doubling, and generally small amounts of nausea. Some semblances of pain would find themselves slightly numbed; so much so, that she'd likely be unable to tell that her entire right arm had been completely and painlessly removed from her body, as the cells holding her arm to her shoulder had all but vanished from existence. As her right arm would've dropped to the ground if she found herself hit, Orobas took the time to take a few hops backward to create some extra room between the two of them.

With a soft chuckle, Orobas spoke up once more. "I hope you have fun with those little gifts I've left you; here's to hoping you last long enough to allow me to make proper use of them." Throwing up a defensive stance, Orobas made quick notice of the other Shinigami that had entered in on the scene. "Oh!" Orobas shouted, "Celes, it's been quite a while. How are you? Hopefully you've been well? Perhaps we can change that."

{Insectoid Rush}
Segunda Etapa takes a step forward with more general-use techniques for Orobas to make use of, slightly augmenting depending on their own swarms. The first of these techniques is Insectoid Rush. This technique functions as a personal stepping technique, sacrificing a number of insects within a nearby swarm in order to propel themselves forward with relative ease. The number of insects that need to be sacrificed is dependent on the insects being sacrificed, as each one provides its own augments. Unlike some of Orobas' other techniques, the insects sacrificed for this technique need to all be the same species.

In Segunda Etapa, Orobas is able to sacrifice mosquitoes and hornets. 50 mosquitoes are required to be sacrificed to use a Mosquito Rush, and 200 hornets are required to be sacrificed to use a Hornet Rush. Mosquito Rush is rather basic, with no general benefits, and functions at x10 speed. Hornet Rush functions at x11 speed, and allows Orobas to make a strike at the time of the movement in the direction they're travelling, but this strike must be a melee strike.

In Tercera Etapa, Orobas can now sacrifice 150 Stag Beetles for a Stag Beetle Rush. Stag Beetle Rush functions at x10 speed, and protects Orobas for the duration of the travel from any melee attacks; should someone try to cut them off while stepping, Orobas will be able to truck through the effects, albeit suffering wounds after they come to a stop. For the duration of the step, though, they'll find themselves unharmed.

In Cuarta Etapa, Orobas can now sacrifice a number of Botflies for a Botfly Rush, with a minimum of 100. Botfly Rush functions at x12 speed, and allows Orobas to launch themselves through their foes. While these foes are unharmed, they're then implanted with an amount of botfly eggs equal to the number of botflies sacrificed.

In Quinta Etapa, Orobas can now sacrifice 400 Cicadas for a Cicada Rush. Cicada Rush functions off of x15 speed. Upon using Cicada Rush, Orobas is able to select another target for Cicada Rush to allow them to step at this speed as well.

{Necrotoxicity}
Necrotoxicity takes one concept of insects and works to amplify it to rather extreme lengths; poisons and venoms. This is one of the few techniques in Orobas' kit that doesn't actually change based on the insects used, and instead works to affect all of their species of insects. Upon entering Cuarta Etapa, this technique is permanently active. While active, all of Orobas' insects will begin to apply a rather lethal Necrotoxin with each individual strike. This necrotoxin works to break down the very cells of a living being until there is absolutely nothing left. Instead of functioning much like a normal necrotoxin, however, this technique is different; instead of killing cells and leaving behind the dead remnants, this technique instead removes these cells from existence. This process causes no pain apart from the insectile bites and stings that are required in order for this to take place, and the destruction of these cells is instantaneous. The amount of damage this technique causes is directly correlated to the number of attacks from insects. Even so much as one bite is enough to destroy a few cells in the general area. 500 bites is enough to cleanly destroy the cells through a singular finger or toe, effectively cutting it off. 2000 bites is enough to destroy the cells between the hand and wrist. 5000 is enough to destroy the cells to someone's forearm. 20000 is enough to bite through someone's neck or torso. Each insect can only bite once when looking to destroy cells like this.

While in Quinta Etapa, each insect is able to bite twice per post in order to afflict this necrotoxin.

{Mark of Sin: Gluttony}
Technique Name: [Mark of Sin: Gluttony]

Class: [2]

Technique Type: [General Sinner Technique]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects: [Being stuck in the bad end of the afterlife tends to bring out of some of the more negative aspects of the soul. One of seven that can be concentrated and brought forth in a physical form. This manifests as a mark on the body. For Gluttony, this mark appears on the user's tongue. Passively, this allows the user to eat and digest anything perfectly, seemingly having a bottomless pit for a stomach. When activated, this allows the user to bite through anything with a lower original stat than the user's original highest spiritual stat, or strength stat. When successively used on a living being, the user absorbs a portion of their power, increasing one stat by 50% for three posts. When used successively again within the three posts will reset the duration of the posts and stack the boost, up to three additional times per stat. 250 reiatsu per bite.]

How to use technique: [Pay cost, bite into someone.]

Technique Drawbacks: [Does not count random background npc's for boost. If the user is unable to bite and eat something, then no boost. Once the user's stat is boosted, every time this is used afterward increases the cost by 50 reiatsu. While the user has a boosted stat or stats, they feel an intense and painful hunger, requiring a point in pain tolerance or anti-torture specifically for each boost after the first.]

{Spreading the Hivemind}
Spreading the Hivemind is a technique revolving around the idea of Orobas spreading their influence across the world around them. While in Quinta Etapa, every insect bite will leave a target with a debuff known as Hivemind Infection. What this does is slowly drown out their thoughts until nothing but the will of the Hivemind remains. Each bite or sting will inflict one HI. At certain intervals, certain effects will begin to occur, driving those afflicted closer and closer to insanity. When considering Healing Expertise, every point of Healing Expertise someone has requires another 3 stings in order to meet these thresholds.

At 1,000 stings, the will of the Hivemind will slowly begin to creep its way inside someone's mind, and gently guide them to perform certain actions, dictated by Orobas. At this point, whether or not they follow through is up to them, but these whispers will grow ever distracting, requiring a Battle Focus 1 to keep fighting without any problems.

At 5,000 stings, the will of the Hivemind will continue to drive someone toward follow certain actions, and more assertively guide them to perform certain actions. At this point, a Strength of Will 1 is required to resist this drive, while a Battle Focus 2 is required to continue to fight through these distractions.

At 10,000 stings, the will of the Hivemind will grow to dominate someone's senses. Orobas' own will shall begin to press on their very psyche, twisting their auditory sensory abilities to nothing but whispers from the mad Akki. Strength of Will 2 is required to resist these pressing drives, while a Battle Focus 3 is required to fight through this.

At 20,000 stings, the will of the Hivemind will reach its peak. Orobas' will shall be the only thing those afflicted are able to hear, see, and feel. Written commands will begin to flash before their eyes, as though the words of Orobas' commands are being written in the air in front of them. The whispers from the Akki will consume their ears, driving them to insanity should they not surrender to their will. A Strength of Will 4 is required to resist these actions, while a Battle Focus 4 is required to fight through these distractions and resist these insanity effects.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

That was the first time Senshi had ever found Senju Koten Taiho ever countered in that manner. Literally consumed by the maw of a gaping demon. It vanished. In the blurring distance, there was only so fast she could move, as she pressed on her back foot. Her instincts telling her that she was about to be assaulted. Only then, she had felt it for a single moment. He blurs before her, pressing his fist against her. Instinctively does the Shinigami swing her arm to slap away his arm from her. 

As her hand separates from him however, as they stung her all over, injected her, she grits her teeth. Though found it strangely not painful as she'd have imagined. As she follows through with sweeping her arm back however? She didn't realize it falling from her socket, flipping through the air, and falling behind her and off the wall. Instead, as Orobas looks to gain distance, hopping backwards, he'd instead find a yellow rope shooting from her fingertip, attempting to wrap around his left foot, wordlessly cast.

Looking to stop him from hopping back for a moment, as she pulls tautly upon it, falling to her knees as she feels the world twisting, turning, as she feels the world spin. "Guest?...When a fly brings maggots into your home...don't you exterminate them?" She asks, gazing upwards, as she feels the larvae squirm and wriggle inside of her body, attempting to settle and root. The redhead was resilient. She was self destructive, and seemingly bold beyond measure.

"Return to sender." Placing her hand against her own chest, an incredible electrical discharge. Tsuzuri Raiden. Releasing incredible electrical charge through her own body, assuming she was successful, the maggot larvae that began to fester in her own body would act as conduits, frying, sizzling, popping, and bursting inside of Senshi. Causing white and translucent ooze and blood to spill out from inside of her, smelling like silty refuse. That, that would certainly cause pain. 

However, the Hainawa rope, assuming it was still connected to the Hellion would also conduct this energy. To hopefully fry and shock the both of them, incredible pain they'd share together. As it should. For a parasite should feel the same agony as its host. The experience. Bugs that lingered by the either of them might find themselves electrocuted from the sheer vibration of electricity in the air as the redhead literally radiates smoke. Her mouth opening to exhale black as she seems dazed.

Senshi immediately draws her blade, though her body was rapidly spasming instinctively from the shock, and seeing Orobas was close to them now, the only sensible option was...Her blade began to glow crimson red, "Ban-kai. Shonin Joka. Shimazu! [Laughing Monk, Gazing Ever Upwards.]" For Senshi, exhausting Reiatsu was a trivial matter. Expending her blade, draining energy from her rapidly, including this seeming excess, before she lunges inwards.

Her blade drastically increases in cutting power, but then begins to...warp. It becomes almost liquid like, turning into a silver white before it begins to rapidly extend outward in hundreds of miniscule lines, almost like the sections of an intersecting cross net like formation. Drain Judgement. A technique that made her blade fluid, like a liquid, combined with Eden, a technique that allowed her to extend her blade and branch like many intersecting branches. Branches that could be thick as branches or as thin as they were now. She was curious on if he could dodge this.

Name: Drain Judgement

Rank:Bankai

Abillity:The Zanpakuto will release it's solid like state and turn into a more fluid like form. When doing this, it still retains its physical strength and sharpness, and is meant to wrap around the enemy immbolizing them. The blade could possibly be used like a whip, and then wrapped around enemies. It will drain 400 Reishi per post trapped. The bind will then shatter off from the blade and absorb from the victim caught in it. The bind will continue to grow as it feeds off the target's Reishi making a shell, or can use their Reishi for for the previous overall abillity of her bankai of getting thicker and more durable.

I.E (the whip wraps around target absorbing 400, then it breaks off and becomes a solid hard wrapping and absorbs another 400 Reishi per post.)

Weakness:Superior strength or stats can bust open the bind. The user loses the form of the sword which turns into a whip. This itself may disadvantage the user seeing it would be difficult to defend against blows with a weapon that is so fluid like. If you have a superior class, the bind will be incapable of absorbing from you.

Cost:300

_

Name:Eden

Rank:Bankai

Abillity:This abillity allows her katana to change shape rapidly allowing it to zigzag and also split while extending. The blade still retains its solid strength and sharpness. Imagine a tree branching out with the various branches splitting further and further. This may be used in conjunction with other abillities such as Needle Shrapnel. Extension length, Density, and Durability all depend on the current stats of the blade, but can also get more dangerous the more Reishi it absorbs.

Weakness:It is very costly to use this technique and rather risky as well to split the blade too much. It would leave the user open to attack if the "branches" move too far away from the user.

Cost:300/per post

[Kitai Yoru]

"Alright, SUPER? The Colt? Holy Bullets? Speed Loader? CLAY? Spirit Cartridges? Steel Silk? Reiatsu Scrambler?" Kitai says to his clone, listing off some of the things he was expecting to need. The duplicate waggled his right arm, showing off the gauntlet that was snuggly fit around his right hand. On the other hand, literally, was a gold wristlet that was smaller than his wrist. Without any latches, an outsider would be hard pressed on guessing how that had managed to get there. He shook his white jacket, and bullets could be heard rattling from inside the iron fabric.

"The Worm? Unbreakable Phone? Rocket Shoes? Interdimensional Doorknob?" The clone fired back this time, making sure he was also packing. The original produced a metallic pill from his regular black jacket, easily large enough to fit in the palm of his hand. He also showed off a phone as well as a bronze doorknob from the same place. He tapped his heels together, and rocket boosters elevated him up for a moment, before putting him back down. Even with all this, he couldn't help but think he was forgetting something...

"The contacts!" They both cried out at the same time, as they rushed to get two pairs. The clone also swiped a pair of Sunglasses, affixing them to his face after he put the contacts in. "Is this what going to war feels like? Because that's what it feels like." The doppelganger says, looking himself over. "Who knows? I just don't want you dying, and I don't want that prick Orobas to be the one to destroy the Soul Society." The original responded, pulling the doorknob from his jacket pocket. He pressed it against the nearest wall, twisted, and pulled open a door that hadn't been there before.

Kitai had no idea where the Hellion invasion might have been taking place, so he settled with the default location programed into the item, and arrived at the West Gate of the Soul Society. Sadly, that was not where this invasion was taking place. "Fucking Akki couldn't have made this easy for us, huh?" He turned to his clone. "Pace yourself, don't wear yourself out. I want you to come back alive, do you hear me." Kitai tells his duplicate. The clone gives him a hug, surprising the Saika, before running off to try and find where the action was.

Kitai, on the other hand, was off to try and find the only Shinigami he knew and, for the most part, tolerated. Ludwig Von Coloringbook, the most creative man he'd ever fought. His little drawing book had singlehandedly stopped his first invasion, albeit barely, and somehow the two had managed to become... friends? It was hard to say how the Shinigami felt, but Kitai wasn't above calling the Artist a friend. Either way, he had remembered that the man was the Captain of the thirteenth Squad, so that was where tje Lunatic was headed. He really hoped that the man didn't assume that this invasion was his doing this time. Or that he hadn't already left to where all the attack was.

---

Some days, Kitai the clone was grateful that he wasn't the original. True, he had do deal with the existential crisis of being both a clone, as well as an extension of the person who he had once been. It was a surreal experience, he would readily tell anyone. One moment he had been fighting the paper angel that had been Priscilla, then the next moment everything goes black. Then the lights come back on, so to speak, and he's been launched half a town over, feeling the original dying a slow and painful death. He was both himself, and not himself at the same time, with all the memories as himself, yet could no longer call himself that person.

But even with all that constantly coursing through his head, he knew that he was still better than what he had been. He had been brought back to life through his bodies. They were stronger, faster, and more durable than he had been. Than he was. Kitai, the original, was technically weaker than he was. That was why he, Kitai the second, was heading out to try and put a stop to the invading Hellions. While the First Kitai might have met Orobas, his Kitai had never done so, though the first had ranted about the Akki more than enough to get an understanding about what they're like.

The duplicate was bounding from rooftop to rooftop in this tiled maze that the Shinigami called a home. Kitai was using his Reiatsu Scrambler to disguise his presence as that of a Soul Reaper, trying to blend into the crowd, so to speak. Or at the very least not get immediately targeted by the people he had been sent here to protect. Fighting a war on two fronts would be exhausting, and very much not worth his time, or that of the Shinigami. He spotted something in the corner of his eye. It was a group of the Kimono-clad soldiers. "Jackpot."

He looked at which way they were headed, and spotted a gate in the distance. That was likely where the they were headed, as every good invasion had to start from the front doors. Kitai grinned, beelining towards the massive wooden gateway. He didn't know if the original was being overly cautious, given that he hadn't actually met the Hellion, but it was very out of character for him. He decided to take it seriously. If he was acting this worried over this person, then he would assume they were dangerous enough to warrant it. He would probably be there in a couple minutes, should no one stop him.

[Alastor Caedes]

The day everything would come to a fruitful beginning. The end of all things and the beginning of the end. Oh how Exciting! Alastor was practically ready to sing with how exciting everything was coming to fruition. The 3000 years! of work, of prep, of envisionment. Oh how everything was just so exciting! For once the Psycho was practically frothing in await. So as the Akki walked forward through a hell gate to greet their fellow Akki. "Seems as though our plans are finally going to pay off, aren't they?" Alastor only chuckled to this question a bottle of wine in his hands as he walked out. "Oh, indeed my insectoid friend... and it is only the beginning of the end~ " 

"Just to make sure that things don't get out of hand, here, I'd like to let you know that I'm... 'defecting'? I'm sure you understand just where I'm going with that; I won't be publicly affiliating with the Sanctus from here on out; keyword 'publicly'." The Akki raised his boney eyebrow to this and simply burst out laughing." Aaah..... you decided to get that prepped and ready then? Well, i will admit. Things will be a bit more headache enducing with your departure, but im sure ill manage somehow." Pouring a glass of wine, he turned to stare out into the sky and smirked.  "I've taken the time to establish a rapport with XCution. I'll be taking residence there after the dust from this attack settles, and the smoke clears. Expect frequent updates regarding the goings on, understood?" Setting out one glass of the wine in front of their ally the Akki only laughed. 

" Perfect. That will make the headaches more enjoyable, well tolerable. Good luck to that, humans are not as... dimwitted as they used to be. Well... some of them." The Akki smirked as he imagined Orobas as a human. That was certainly something to imagine, but then again it wasn't that odd. After all, Orobas was the kind of sinner to just always wear a disguise. Actually, yes, it would be quite normal. "I've got to say, I'm rather excited for all of this to be going down. It feels like the end of an era, does it not? If only I'd have brought a nice Moscato, perhaps we could've shared one last drink beforehand? Ah, well; we'll have time in the future to get that sorted out, won't we?" 

"Ha! I'll keep your word to that and prep the finest wine in my stocks to make sure of it. Ill join you soon... After i rouse the sleepy demons and hell beasts. After all, assuming all things go according to plan. This will be a day No one forgets." The Akki raised his glass and downed a thing of wine. "Well, Alastor. I'll see you on the other side. Let's have some fun today, yeah?" And with that the other akki had disappeared to go wake up the shitty Shinigami. " Well then... time to get the Legions on the move. Before then... one last speech." The Akki only laughed and walked through the same hell gate he formed before. Appearing in a large chamber, miles high, wide and long. 

There, all of the Sanctus's legions were standing and waiting. The Hell beasts rattling against the bars that temporarily confine them. Alastor walked out to a well lit pedestal. " Legions! Hear me and listen! Today is the day that we have prepped for! For thousands of years, we laid in wait for the end of an era! For Thousands of years, we sat down here and gathered the many who would listen! But.... Let us take a moment to remember the reason why we are here. Saika! Were you not led astray by the false words of others?! Were you not deceived by the system that the shinigami had made!?" A roar of the human life sinners confirmed his statements. 

"Hason! Where you not cast down here for the sins that the Shinigami had declared you to have made?! Who are they to decide what is right and what is wrong?! Who are they to decide what some can do and others cannot?! They exiled you! They betrayed you! They were supposed to safeguard you! And look what they did?!" A large monsterous roar from the Hasons confirming their rage. " My Fellow Akki. For thousands of years you have been the forefathers of Hell's advancement. For thousands of years, you were forced to fight among eachother. Why? Because the shinigami decided it? Because it was wrong to do the things we did? To hell with that! Let our past actions be a shining example of what Hellions... No. What all beings should be able to do!..."

At that, screens of deceased Akki, Hason, and Saika showed up. Alastor put his hands on the pedestal and shook his head. " They would deny us our happiness. Our happy endings! For what? A few actions?! Let us not forget those who have paved the way... but no longer exist. For Everything they thought had meaning. Every Hope, Dream, or moment of happiness. None of it mattered as they laid bleeding out on the battlefied. None of it changed what a speeding rock does to a body. They all died. Does that mean that there was no point in them being born? What about them, our slain comrades? What about their lives? Where they are meaningless?" 

The hall grew quiet. A moment later Alastor slammed the pedestal. "THEY WERE NOT!" Putting both of his arms stretched out as he screamed out the words. "THEIR MEMORY SERVES AS AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL! THE COURAGOUS FALLEN! THE ANGUISHED FALLEN! THIER LIVES HAD MEANING BECAUSE WE THE LIVING REFUSE TO FORGET THEM! AND AS WE RIDE TO CERTAIN DEATH, WE EXPECT OUR SUCCESSORS TO DO THE SAME FOR US! FOR MY SOLDIERS DO NOT BUCKLE OR YIELD TO THE CRUELTY OF THIS WORLD! MY SOLDIERS PUSH FORWARD! MY SOLDIERS SCREAM OUT! MY SOLDIERS RAGE!" In unison every last sinner roared out and slammed their weapons to the ground creating a cacophony of noises. 

"SANCTUS! MOVE OUT AND CONQUOR!" 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the moment of battle between Orobas, Celes, and Senshi. The Birds in the trees all flew out and away from the Soul Society. It was quiet, before bursts of noise as the massive gates of hell surfaced. Completely surrounding the Rukongai Districts, letting no escape. And as they opened hordes of the Sanctus warriors charged out with Hell beasts following after them. Appearing right next to Orobas using the familiar Placidus, Alastor grinned. "Primera. Etapa." The immediate area and everything within 200ft of the pair of Sinners because covered in a demonic, bloodstained Festival. Alastor himself was just a large orb of blood, shifting and taking the form of a twisted humanoid being. All of his parts in the wrong position and twisted the wrong way, before rapidly twisting back into place. 

The second of arms bursting out from his back shoulders. "Sorry for being late. Had to get one last speech in, really rile up the masses. But you know me always gotta do things the right way. Oh and Hello Shinigami! Hope you can deal with oh.... 6.2 million sinners and about half as much Hell beasts. But if you really must stay and entertain us well, just be aware. ...Come my weapon." Alastor's thigh glowed as he pulled out his revolver of slaughter. "I bite. But for starters. You may recognize this one." 

As he spoke, the two arms on the back of his shoulders acted as if they were casting Hado, and due to his Acting Skill it would be mostly believable. Instead, Alastor formed a strange eye on his body just on his left hip that looked over at Celes and fired a silent yet not silent nearly non-existent beam of energy from it directly at her left leg, specifically below the knee. Its OS being 1400 and if allowed to hit her, would potentially remove her leg from existence. As for Senshi, well. "You deal with the red head while i deal with this one? Seems fair right?" Alastor was here to have fun, and well. Seeing as he already brought the party guests. Might as well show off a little. After all. This was only the second time in the Akki's soul life that he had invaded the Seireitei.

Technique Name: [Eye of Yami]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [Spiritual]

Usable By: [Hellions]

Technique Element: [Void]

Technique Description and Effects: [Often referred to as 'Gaze of the Abyss', as to not tempt fate. When this technique is activated, an eye is formed on the skin of the user. This eye can form on any surface of the body, so long as there is space for an eye. The eye has black sclera instead of white, with a purple iris. This eye gives the user the ability to see through this newly formed organ, in order to aim it. Once it is formed, the user can pay 150 reiatsu to fire out a beam of energy. This beam is deafening in its silence and can be heard in spite of the lack of sound. The beam consists of empty space, erasing and consuming any matter that comes into contact with the attack. For any spiritual being, or anything that has the ability to resist this attack, this will inflict burns upon them. The os of this technique is dependent on the user's highest spiritual stat. In order to form an eye, the user must pay 50 reiatsu. This eye lasts three posts before closing and vanishing.]

Technique Drawbacks: [Cost]

Eye of Yami {Mastered}

Technique Name: [Placidus]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [Other]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

This is the Akki step technique. While Akki can use step techniques from other races, this technique is particularly devastating because it belongs to them. This is the unique Akki ability for stepping.

What this technique does is allow the Akki to phase briefly in and out of their current plain of existence. In other words, they momentarily disappear, blinking out of existence. As they do, a flash of black explodes outwards. Anyone that witnesses them blinking out of existence will suddenly see nothing but blackness for that split second. It is hardly enough to affect the battle, but rather it is theatrical. The Akki, during that brief second, is gone, and cannot be attacked. This is a direct "teleportation," unlike Shunpo or Sonido, which are merely fast movement.

Averagely, this is performed at 15x the user's speed, making it one of the fastest individual steps. It is also known to be able to move forwards within three small steps rather than one. It can also be done for one. If done in three, the same distance is covered in three smaller steps, creating a theatrical flash of black with each appearance and disappearance. Additionally, there is a flash of white light when the Akki reappears and blinks back into existence. Any who witness this flash of light will suddenly see hallucinations of horrible monstrosities and new body features on the Akki in question that uses this technique, and their fear of the individual will increase.

How to use technique:

Like all step techniques, this one requires a simple step as well. It is done for 200 reiatsu per use, which is why most Akki prefer to use the steps of other races. It is an expensive step technique, but is easily one of the most powerful.

Technique Drawbacks

Reiatsu cost.

Placidus { Mastered }

Technique Name: Revolver of Judgemental Slaughter

Class:

Technique Type: Weapon

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

Technique Element: Slaughter

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

Formed from the memories of observing the years when the wild west was still chaotic and filled with anarchy. The Revolver manifests as the first weapon, as while its not the first he has ever seen, it is the one he took the most joy from watching. The Revolver manifests as a far more modern version than what he first saw, but with all the deadliness. Bull barrel that from the sides has teeth like designs similar to the angry maw of a beast, but at the end having a laughing human skull. The Cylinder having red energy like mist constantly flowing out of it, and the hammer being stylized with a sharpened tip. The Grip having folds to fit his fingers perfectly. When this tech is activated Alastor brings up the thigh that has the bullet wound, and pulls the revolver out from it.

Every part of the gun is formed from a strange black material and seemingly pulls in reiatsu to fill in empty bullet holes after every shot. The Revolver has a OS equal to Alastors highest Spiritual stat and a projectile speed of 600.

When the Segunda form is brought out, the revolver utters a psychotic laugh and undergoes a slight change. The eyes of the skull at the end of the barrel emit a red aetherial trail. The gun's overall form becomes more demonic and the split in half bull barrel emits red flames from the sides. The bottom of the grip now has a fang styled blade that's about 3 inches long. In the Segunda form the projectile speed also upgrades to 650.

When the Tercera form is released from its shackles, The revolver doesn't go through much of a change. Detail wise it now has a permanent bloodstain along the entirety of its barrel. In this form the bull barrel becomes more like a railgun barrel in design with the jagged teeth having enough space to let the hellish energy inside to burst out in puffs of flames. In this form the gun gains a blade attachment under the now railway gun barrel that is rusty and bloodstained. The Revolver's projectile speed becomes 700.

When the Cuatro form is released, the Revolver doesn't undergo any physical changes. Yet now in this form it gains a alternate firing mechanic called Slaughtering Overkill. Slaughtering Overkill can be used by expending additional reiatsu to focus the hellish reiatsu into one solid shot. By expending the reiatsu, Slaughtering Overkill fires in a straight line one massive reiatsu shot that has double the normal's shots power. Slaughtering Overkill has a OS equal to Double Alastors highest spiritual stat and gains only 100 additional OS per stack of Bloodlust if it hits. Slaughtering Overkill travels at a projectile speed of 1000. The Revolvers normal projectile speed travels at a speed of 750.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): Merely utter " Come my Weapon. " and pay Reiatsu.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) 150 reiatsu to bring out the firearm, 150 reiatsu to remake it if it is destroyed/lost. Slaughtering Overkill costs 500 reiatsu per use and can only be used once every 2 posts. Each The normal rounds for the Revolver cost 100 reiatsu per shot.

SPOILER: Click to show

Theme: “ Festival of Slaughter “ Alastors ability revolves around the corruption and insanity found in serial killing and slaughter festivals. Remembered as " The King of Slaughter " in his past life who used to host festivals of bloodshed and other dark sins. As such those who are within his defined territory are subject to the madness that he creates. This ability allows him to infect any being who has committed any form of sin and turn them into bloodlusting serial killers. Whenever he releases, a set area will turn into his remembered Festival grounds and start the conversion of any sane being.

Named NPC's will be treated as Player characters for the purposes of the abilities effects. Unnamed NPCs like Civilians and unnamed masses of each faction will be automatically given to the worst trait as the madness over takes them once the corruption process starts.

That being said this terrain does act as a focus point of massive amounts of negative emotions. This can and has drawn arrancars and hollows to it before, letting them act as the guests. While within this area, all forms of reiatsu are converted into Hell Reiatsu. The reiatsu will start the corruption process granting characters within the terrain stacks of " Bloodlust " with each stack slowly making them into a serial killer like Alastor. Stacks are given once per two posts as long as they are within the terrain. Each Stack of Blood lust can be resisted up to the fitting rank in Strength of Will. However, once they aren't able to continue resisting all of the effects will appear at once.

1 stack: The sky turns red and rain feels, smells, and tastes like blood.

2 stacks: The Victims sense of hearing will be filled with screams of murder from random directions.

3 stacks: The Victim will see their hands stained in blood with corpses of their friends and loved ones all around them.

4 stacks: Victims start seeing other victims as phantoms of the festival's past, laughing manically with bloodied weaponry and see them as hostile.

If a Player character has ranks in Strength of Will, they can resist these stacks. Resisted stacks, count as if non-existing for Alastor's release techniques. However, if they do not have Strength of Will rank 4, then they will eventually succumb to the madness making all stacks now become viable for Alastors release techs. If a player character has Strength of Will rank 4, they are immune to Alastors overall abilities effect, and the bonus effects of his techs. That being said, good luck surviving if that's the case.

All of these effects are temporary as spending 2 posts per stack outside of the terrain slowly removes them returning the victim to sanity. The Terrain is rather large in order to affect a large scale of people, being roughly 200 feet wide in every direction. When the Terrain is active, the surrounding area will change appearance into that of a sick twisted festival. With corpses hung as ornaments and other demonic if not disturbing buildings and constructs. The festival isn't dead set in how it appears, meaning even skyscrapers if caught inside will become living death traps for those inside the building.

For each Etapa Alastor goes into after the first, the terrains area expands by another 200 feet. 800 feet by Etapa 4.

[Celes Castellanos]

Looking down at Orobas, Celes watched as the Akki seemed to be prepared for the ferocious assault that erupted outward from Senshi. Senshi was truly impressive. Celes, even with her lack of expertise in sensing reiatsu could feel the ripples of power that radiated from the red-haired Shinigami. It is what made Orobas' answer to all this even more horrific and worrying. Having opened their mouth, Celes watched as each of the immensely powerful bolts of fire nearly seemed to coalesce and flew towards the Akki's mouth. She was nearly prepared for an explosion as she instinctively braced herself yet...nothing. There was no residue of the orbs to be found. They had simply devoured them.

Shortly afterwards, the Akki's voice rang out towards them. "Come, now, little Shinigami," Celes shivered for a moment. Even despite the fact that it was addressed at the Captain next to her, Celes hated the Akki's choice words. He looked down upon everything and anything. It disgusted Celes. Such shameless arrogance. "I don't believe that's any way you should treat a guest. Perhaps I should show you?" Celes blinked as she raised her guard. A few moments later followed by the buzzing and chittering of countless insects, the Akki would appear right before Senshi at rather impressive speeds. Celes looked over and was about to intervene, but the punch had already been thrown. A blow to the right shoulder that Celes had the suspicion held more to it than meets the eye. 

Having hit their mark, Orobas seemed to want to create distance. A wise choice given Celes' expertise in martial combat. Had they stayed in range, Celes would've likely tried to kick the shit out of Orobas. Looking to her side, eyeing Senshi to see she was holding up, she'd listen to the red hair speak.  "Return to sender." The Captain of the Tenth Division was utterly shocked as she placed her hand against her chest, running a Kido through though herself. If her plan was successful, however, Celes would also watch as Orobas became shrouded in electricity, the thin cord between them that conducted the electricity only now becoming visible to Celes. She chuckled to herself. "Clever girl..."

It seemed that Senshi was not going to waste much time and declared, "Ban-kai. Shonin Joka. Shimazu!" Another chuckle emerged from the Captain's lips as she sighed, drawing her own blades. Her twin Zanpakutou gleamed under the faint traces of sunlight as she heard Orobas speak, acknowledging Celes. "Oh! Celes, it's been quite a while. How are you? Hopefully you've been well? Perhaps we can change that." The Shinigami chuckled in response to this. The Akki knew better. This was all to get under her skin. She breathed out calmly, speaking sternly. "Well...considering that you seem to be invading Soul Society...middling. Regardless, you and I both know how I must react to your blatant assault." Celes sighed and held her twin Zanpakutou in her hands. Holding them before her, she'd speak calmly. She was doing her best to stay objective and to not just rush down Orobas. It wouldn't be a wise course of action in her mind. "Walk the Earth, Yunorashi."

Orobas had fought Celes before. They must've still remembered Celes Shikai and by extension, Bankai. They might've expected her to become the spitting image of a Hoplite once more, but this couldn't be farther from the truth. Her Zanpakutou glowed red like before, but instead of morphing, they would simply fade away. Suddenly a burst of Spiritual Pressure forth from Celes as a red shroud overtook her. It would grow taller than her and started to take shape into something different. A bone-like ribcage surrounded Celes and growing to nearly match the size of the reddened aura that now followed her movements. She sighed for a moment as it had an almost spectral appearance. "Since we are all releasing, I might as well join the party." She would grin for a moment as it was just in time. Away from the gate that they stood on, something emerged.

Hell gates arose as a crimson swirl filled them. From within, Hellions began to pour out into the Rukongai. Celes widened her eyes. This was a true invasion force. She growled for a moment, knowing that she needed to make a decision soon on whether to help them down there or assist in taking down Orobas as Senshi was using her Bankai. It seemed that the decision would soon be made for her as another showed up shortly after. He appeared right next to Orobas. Celes raised her eyebrow as she looked at the new face. Given his positioning, he seemed allied to Orobas. On top of this, she heard him speak with a grin. "Primera. Etapa." Celes growled softly, knowing that they had to now deal with two of these Akki. As the Akki began to morph, Celes was wearier of the surrounding an environment. It began to warp. Blood seemingly seeped everywhere. The ground seemed reddened by it. Nothing had truly changed within her or at least nothing that she was aware of. It was almost as if she was moved to a hellscape along with Senshi and these two Akki. 

Once he finished morphing, Celes overheard the Akki speak. "Sorry for being late. Had to get one last speech in, really rile up the masses. But you know me always gotta do things the right way. Oh and Hello Shinigami! Hope you can deal with oh.... 6.2 million sinners and about half as much Hell beasts. But if you really must stay and entertain us well, just be aware. ...Come my weapon." Celes' eyebrow furrowed in annoyance over his comment. She had sent out some of the finest in her Division for crowd control and she always had members of the Division scattered around Seireitei and the Rukongai for events like this. "6.2 million?! Hang on guys. I'll try to help once I'm done with these two..." She told herself this as a solemn comfort as a revolver appeared in Alastor's hand. He spoke once more. "I bite. But for starters. You may recognize this one."

An extra pair of hands began to seemingly weave a Hado which put Celes on guard. She was not sure, what he had planned, but as the eye appeared on his hip, a shrieking beam leapt at her. Even though her eyes were focused on his arms, the Shinigami's senses were sharp and her instincts even sharper. Something sounded like it was drawing closer and closer, becoming terrible for her hearing. She did not wish to take chances. She'd disappear in a sudden flash, accelerating to a speed of 4500 thanks to a Shunpo. As the beam from the eye ripped through empty space, Celes glared at Alastor. "You deal with the red head while i deal with this one? Seems fair right?" The Shinigami scoffed for a moment. Assuming that Senshi was still preparing to assault the pair with her Bankai, Celes had a plan. 

Peering at Alastor, she spoke with some venom in her tone, hoping to get a bit of a laugh out of Orobas even despite his own participation in the invasion. "Wow. I didn't think it was actually possible. Next to you, Orobas is a gem to talk to. You've actually found a way to be more condescending and unlike Orobas, insufferable." With that, Celes would use another Shunpo, moving at speeds of 6000, leagues above these Akki. She was prepared to use her overwhelming speed to her advantage. After all, these invaders were unwelcomed. They were treading upon sacred ground without provocation. It was her Division's duty to defend Soul Society against any threat. These two constituted such a threat. 

Appearing about ten or so feet behind them, typically uncharacteristic for someone of Celes' physical prowess as she normally opted to move in even closer, A large spectral hand suddenly erupted outward from the ribcage at incredible speeds using a Shunpo Karin and channeling it through the arm, moving it at a speed of 6000. Her goal? To scoop up the pair standing fairly close to one another, giving Senshi the opportunity to use her Bankai to devastating effect. Until other Captain's arrived, Celes had a feeling that they would have to rely on teamwork. Celes could be the physical wall while Senshi could provide significant ranged support and utility. Assuming that Celes scooped them up successfully given the incredible speed and precision, looking only to capture their upper bodies, Celes would allow the arm to squeeze tight with an impressive strength of 800. She knew that there were very few that could match her own strength and this would ensure that the clamp was tight enough that it would be difficult to escape. She'd give Senshi a look that spoke clearly. Celes would stand by Senshi and would try to ensure that her plan would succeed if they were hopefully immobilized or at least in severe pain due to the tight grip surrounding them. 

In the meantime, Celes would also form another arm on the opposite end, extending outward to 15 ft. She would keep it idle for now. To top it off, she'd focus to allow her reiatsu to extend upward. It would coalesce as a head began to form atop the ribcage. Its eyes hollow, they would suddenly gain an eerie yellow light. This would sharpen her visual senses even further, allowing her to focus on these two Akki intently. She decided to take it a step further as she felt an approval deep within her. Could that have been Yukito? Was it Yunorashi? Celes could not entirely tell, but it invigorated her. She finish by giving the avatar that surrounded her more focus. She would no longer need to focus intently on it and could let it form over the course of this fight.

{Shikai Overall - Earthly Sentinel}

Earthly Sentinel uses Celes’ willpower and using herself as a conduit, focuses it to give it physical form. This results in an Astral Self that protects Celes and grows over the course of combat. Upon utilizing Shikai, Celes receives 10 Strength of Spirit every post. Leftover Strength of Spirit from one post carries over to another post and there is no cap to the amount of the Strength of Spirit that Celes can accumulate. Additionally, Celes can generate Strength of Spirit out of her own reaitsu at a cost of 25 Reiatsu per Strength of Spirit. Strength of Spirit can be used in a number of ways.

Once a post, Celes can spend any amount of Strength of Spirit to restore 4% per Strength of Spirit in durability to her Astral Self, restoring the durability to a part of Celes’ choice. Strength of Spirit spent on restoring durability can be divided among multiple parts of the Astral Self. For example, if Celes spends 4 Strength of Spirit to repair, she can allocate 4 to one part of the Astral self or divide it up among multiple parts such as the arms or head. Strength of Spirit may also be spent to enhance the Astral Self, making temporary additions that can become permanent by use of Ascendant Spirit.

The Astral Self has durability equivalent to Celes’ OS. This durability increases by 1.5x Celes’ OS when Humanoid. The durability finally rises to 2x Celes’ OS while Armored. Each part of the Astral Self which includes the Head, Body, and Arms has its own separate durability. No part of the Astral Self may ever be more than one stage above the Body. Physical and Spiritual attacks can gradually deteriorate the Astral Self. Upon clashing, the OS of the attack harms the durability. For example, if Celes has a durability of 1000 and the OS of the attack is 500, the remaining durability is 500. If the technique has a 2 Class Superiority, then it both harms the durability of the Astral Self and pierces it, making Celes susceptible to its effects. If the Body of the Astral Self were to fall to the durability of 0, the Astral Self regresses to its previous stage. For example, Armored would regress to Humanoid.

Celes may allow others to enter her Astral Self freely. Doing so incurs no harm to the ally. Opponents may also force their way into Celes’ Astral Self as long the durability of the Astral Self's body has fallen below 25%. Opponents of a higher class than Celes can always force their way into the Astral Self no matter the durability. If the durability is repaired above 25%, any hostile currently within the Astral Self is forcibly shunted out. Should an opponent make it into Celes’ Astral Self, there is one last line of defense. Any hostile of an equal or lower class to Celes will find themselves at the mercy of gravitational pressure as if they are 2 Classes lower than Celes. Higher-class opponents are not affected by this gravitational pressure

{Ascendant Spirit Rank I}Technique Name: Ascendant Spirit

Technique Description: Ascendant Spirit acts as a way for Celes to permanently upgrade her Astral Self. By spending varying amounts of Strength of Spirit, Celes can permanently grant herself the superior stages of the Astral Self. Once a stage has been unlocked permanently, Celes does not need to spend Strength of Spirit to maintain enhancements of that stage anymore. These permanent enhancements, if destroyed, allow Celes to spend Strength of Spirit equivalent to 1.5x their upkeep cost, rounded down, to restore the enhancement. When restored, the enhancement returns to the current unlocked stage of Ascendant Spirit. If the Astral Self were to regress to a previous stage, Celes can spend Strength of Spirit equal to the most recently unlocked Stage to immediately upgrade back to it. For example, if Astral Self reverts to Skeletal, she can spend # Strength of Spirit to enhance the Astral Self to Humanoid once more. In Bankai, the Astral Self can be restored to the Complete stage. Upgrading Ascendant Spirit lasts until the end of a regular thread such as a PVP/JT. In longer threads such as adventures, Ascendant Spirit resets on a "long rest". The requirements for upgrading or restoring Stages are:

Skeletal: 5
Humanoid: 9
Armored: 13
Complete: 20

Technique Drawbacks: Ascendant Spirit is a powerful way for Celes to retain certain benefits, but it does have several weaknesses. For another rank of Ascendant Spirit to be purchased, Celes must have at least maintained the next stage of enhancements at some point. For example, if Celes is currently using the Skeletal Astral Form, she must first purchase and maintain Humanoid Arms and Head to upgrade to rank II (Humanoid) of Ascendant Spirit. While each enhancement can be maintained individually, all enhancements must have been maintained at the next stage at least once. Additionally, after upgrading Ascendant Spirit, the technique goes on cooldown for two posts before being able to upgrade again. If an enhancement is destroyed, Celes must wait 1 post before being able to restore that enhancement. Celes may not activate Bankai until Rank III of Ascendant Spirit has been purchased.

(Out of Character: I'm more than happy to open the thread up from this point on to any defending party that might want to participate, regardless of Class or limitations put on the thread by virtue of character slots.)

"Guest?...When a fly brings maggots into your home...don't you exterminate them?" Orobas couldn't quite put their finger on why, but these words struck a nerve. These words struck a very, very deep nerve within the Akki. Breaking out into a chuckle of sorts, Orobas couldn't help but laugh as they simply allowed themselves to be grappled by the girl's fancy Kido technique. It wasn't anything they'd find themselves too worried about; not yet, at least. Not a second later, the Akki's body began to glow pale blue as reiatsu seemed to both pour out and be sucked within the Arrancar's very being.

As this happened, Senshi was going to find that her technique was quickly reduced to nothing more than reiatsu, sucked into the Akki's being in a matter of a few short moments. Assuming the girl was still going to go through with electrocuting herself, Orobas took a few short steps back as they intended, not looking to be part of that in any way. "I can see the attempt was there," Orobas spoke, "but I'm afraid that something like that just isn't going to be enough to hold me. Wonderful try, though. Catch me off-guard and you might be able to do something, next time around."

As their words finished, it seemed that their colleague had arrived. Appearing next to them, Orobas took the time to hear out just what Alastor had to say. "Sorry for being late. Had to get one last speech in, really rile up the masses." Orobas simply scoffed with a cheeky smile on their face. "Took you long enough. Hope the time you took was worth it, our forces are rallied now, no? Good work on your part. As far as here goes, though, we've got two young ladies here that've made themselves present. A Kido Specialist, whom I can only assume is a captain, and a Miss Celes Shindazu; careful around that one."

"Wow. I didn't think it was actually possible. Next to you, Orobas is a gem to talk to. You've actually found a way to be more condescending and unlike Orobas, insufferable." These words brought out a rather simple chuckle from Orobas. Waving their hand kindly toward the girl, Orobas flashed her a smile. "You flatter me with your words, Celes; I appreciate your generosity. If it weren't for fate putting us on opposing forces, I'm fairly certain we would've gotten along famously."

As Celes moved behind the two of them, Orobas would've almost certainly been caught off-guard under any other circumstance. Thankfully, though, they'd already activated their defensive abilities. If Celes' spectral hand still made the same effort to swoop in and try to grab the two of them, she'd quickly find the arm vanished; consumed in its entirety by Orobas' own Orifice Mode. Once again, the Akki found themselves chuckling. "I shall say this now, and only this once; I have absolutely no intention to kill you, Celes. Or even any of Soul Society for that matter; when you walk by an ant-hill, do you stop to kick it down, or simply ignore it? The lot of you are nothing more than the ants."

As their words paused, the Akki's own reiatsu exploded outward, reaching proportions that few had ever even hoped to achieve, for just a short moment. And then, almost as if nothing had happened, Orobas' own reiatsu simply vanished. Nothing at all would be picked up; nothing to discern from the Akki. As their reiatsu quickly spiraled back toward their own body, anybody immediately looking at them would've very quickly noticed changes to their physical form; all of the insects had simply ceased to exist. Now stood only Orobas, clad in plain black robes, with a much more youthful appearance about them.

Vanishing from existence with the standard Akki Placidus, Orobas reappeared behind Senshi at a speed of 12,000. Moving their own body at a speed of 800, Orobas simply tapped the girl's still-remaining shoulder, before speaking a familiar incantation. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six." If the girl made any effort to get out of the immediate area, they'd simply utilize their overwhelming Speed and Instinct to adjust their finger, making sure their spell was going to land. If they could help it, nothing was going to be left up to chance.

Assuming the bonding rods of light found their mark, the now-younger Akki turned his attention to both girls. If either got a good look at his face, they'd immediately make note of the four additional eyes that had now found themselves resting underneath his original set. Aside from those markings, everything looked fairly youthful; attractive, even. With that, he began to speak, with an almost dread-inducing calm to his voice. "If the two of you look to fight us, I won't stop you. In truth, though, I'm merely here for that figurehead of yours; the Captain Commander. My only stake in being here is to spill his blood across the soil. Let me be on my way, and we won't have to resort to bloodshed. Am I understood?"

{Orifice Mode - Mastered}
Technique Name: [Orifice Mode]

Class: [1] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Other] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

An Envainar only technique which can be used only by the top three Envainar, this technique is an absorption power. During its active period, the user's body glows blue. The user, upon physical contact with reiatsu based anomalies, can absorb them. This works against reiatsu based techniques, things which costed reiatsu to create, or constructs created from reiatsu, release, etc. In other words, this allows the user to delete harmful effects from what they contact, and then absorb what they contact. Anything associated with the contacted can be absorbed as well.

This essentially is used to absorb either reiatsu based techniques or releases. This can absorb Bankai, Shikai, etc. It is a super advanced power that is even beyond the Vandenreich Bankai steal. It cannot steal dolls, mod soul forms, or Failure Floods, nor powers from other Sinners. However, it can steal Shikai, Bankai, Ressurection, Quincy Bows and Vollstandig, and techniques released by Hollows or Vizards. It does not allow the user to use what is absorbed. Instead, the reiatsu that was used to construct whatever is stolen is added to the user's pool.

How to use technique:

Stated Above

Initiate physical contact and reiatsu sharing.

Drawback:

It causes his muscles to continuously tear and burn from pain. The insides of his body will of course begin to rip apart for use of this devastating, hellish technique. Prolonged use is the worst for this power. Reiatsu, stamina, and body are all heavily taxed far beyond any form of normal taxing. User is strained unlike any other technique. The strain is HUGE and TREMENDOUS. Most characters would faint from the pain that the user must endure because of this technique. However, it lasts for 5 posts. It costs no reiatsu initially to activate. When it ends, 1000 reiatsu is immediately docked from the user's pool. Using this, the user cannot exceed their reiatsu maximum.

{Rikujokoro}
Technique Name: [Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro (Six Rods Prison of Light)]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: [Light]

Technique Description and Effects:

Summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection from all sides, holding them in place. This technique also results in total paralysis, and can even suspend targets in mid air.

How to use technique:

This requires the user's eyes to be focused on the target, and their casting hand to be aimed at the target as well. The six beams will then close in, but those who are quick enough or instinctive enough will be able to dodge.

Incantation and Effect:

The incantation increases the reiatsu strength of this technique by 25%. (I.E. Reiatsu strength of 100 is instead worth 125.) ("Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!")

{Saigo no Houmen Stage 1: The Dread Scar}
Orobas' Saigo, aptly named The Dread Scar, works to act as the capstone of Orobas' ultimate goal; to bring about the end of all existence for those residing outside of hell. Upon activating Saigo no Houmen, Orobas' form shifts into something much more humanoid in nature. Instead of their preferred body, Orobas' form takes on the appearance of someone much more youthful, much more attractive, and much more humanoid. At this point, they take on the appearance of a younger man; the same image he held while he had been alive for the most part.

Orobas' human form appears as a man not much older than his late twenties. He stands at 6'0", and weighs in at about 165 lbs. His complexion is completely clear, and his skin is practically flawless. Most notably about him, though, is that he appears a bit more pale than one would normally expect. His hair is a platinum blond in color, and is somewhat unkept in shape, but straight for the most part. At its longest point, it flows down to about the start of his neck.

His eyes are a bright crimson in color, and seem to give off small amounts of light at any given point. Right beneath his eyes are markings through what looks to be simple facepaint, taking the shape of additional eyes. Each one is connected by a simple curved line leading down beneath each mark. Totaling for three "eyes" on either side of his face counting his actual eyes as well. Each and every one of these markings light up much like his actual eyes do, and also give off a trace amount of light.

Similarly to what you'd expect from the rest of his body for the most part, Orobas takes the form of someone very human in nature; well, save for his left arm and his back. Upon entering Stage 1, his entire Akki form has been effectively "sealed" into his arm. From here, his entire arm takes on a chitinous, scaled appearance, going up the entire length and stopping right beneath his shoulder. A large spike protrudes from the uppermost portion of this arm, stretching out to reach up to about where the top of his ear would be by comparison. Additionally, protruding from his back are six wings, each one about three feet long with three on each side of his spine.

This "cursed" arm looks like something you'd expect from that of a dragon's leg, mixed with hell energies. Orobas' nails extend into three-inch claws on this hand, and on the back of his palm a symbol is lit up in a bright purple, matching his new reiatsu color. This symbol takes the shape of six different eyes interconnected through curved lines; much like the symbols underneath his eyes, should they be combined into one shape. His entire arm has a strong aura around it, a similarly bright purple mixed with a shade of maroon.

[Ludwig Verrlicht]

So this is Hell huh? In some ways it looks like what I'd expect it to. Well the denizens at least, I can't speak much to the actual plane itself. I can't really see much through the gates that isn't a hellion itself. Karvaldia I hope you're ready this is . . . going to be something else. Ludwig stood atop the opposite gate Orobas was at. Sad as it was to say Ludwig had been caught off guard, as was most of the Soul Society, by Orobas and Alastor's grandiose invasion. Thus with things having gone to hell in a handbasket he'd immediately taken command of the shinigami in the immediate area given he was the closest captain around and he was near the southern gate to the Seireitei.



Still he couldn't say he was thrilled at the prospect of what was coming for them. Given he was on the walls of the Seireitei he had a clear view of what was going on before him. Namely how utterly destroyed the Rukongai was becoming and how many were being slaughtered. And yet he knew he couldn't defend the Rukongai, it was far too large an area. He needed to keep the Seireitei, their most defensible spot guarded and safe. Given the swarms and hordes of demons making themselves known however Ludwig needed to quickly organize the defenses. To do that however required time. Not much but enough he could speak to the shiningami who were currently in a state of chaos above all else from the surprise attack. Very seldom looked like they had an idea of what to do but one and all still looked to Ludwig as the be all end all man to take charge of the situation.



With no further time to waste Ludwig pulled out his combat knife of a zanpakuto and held it in front of him. Specifically before the hordes coming his way. "Make the world you masterpiece, Karvaldia." His reiatsu exploded outward drastically initially a bright pink flair that covered all that the immediate groups of hellions and shinigami could see. After that however it transitioned into something far less serious. The colors changed to old acme technicolor. Things suddenly felt more 2 dimensional despite everything clearly being made of 3 dimensions. The people found themselves the same as prior but their wounds were rapidly disappearing though their fatigue increased. But most importantly the man himself wasn't holding himself back by any stretch. The full extent of his reiatsu was flaring and despite the smile on his face he looked pissed like all he saw was sentient trash before him.



"You know some people have the decency to bring a gift before inviting over their friends for a party. Hell even a little bit of a please and thank you note would be appreciated. Sadly . . . our guests are incredibly rude and we've little to offer. Hopefully this will suffice for Enterntainment. Hado #91 Senju Koten Taiho." The orbs flared into existence brilliantly and by all accounts looked akin to small stars. However unlike the usual variation they began to show signs of becoming cartoon skulls. With little rounded features, teeth that looked akin to semi-circles and despite being made of bones their faces contorted to look maniacal and laughed with immense amounts of venom. Once fully formed Ludwig let them loose. While in the meantime reciting the remainder of the incantation mentally as he stood by and watched.



Now small known feature of Ludwig's bankai, things got very silly and very crazy quickly. If the fact he shot out angry flaming skulls for a kido said anything. However that was par for the course. What wasn't when they finally came in contact with something the view was seen even by those on the opposite side of the seireitei and those within. It was akin to a nuclear bomb going off, except there were 10 instances of it and the resounding shockwave and sound blast made it known that absolutely nothing in the blast radius and up to the seki seki walls had survived. Plus or Hellion. The ground shaked immensely, the roar of the rampant reiatsu was let loose without any semblance of control, and the light show was blinding for at least 5 seconds.



Once things quieted and the prevailing wasteland was finally making it's display Ludwig simply sighed and for the first time that he could remember, frowned heavily while released. "For what it's worth . . . The only silver lining is you will all return to the soul cycle and live a life far superior to the prior. In the meantime. . . I'll take on all your anguish and hate . . . and return it to sender. With a deep breath and a small sigh he quickly turned back around to the shinigami below and around him that had just been staring awe struck at what he'd just done. Various degree's of anger, resentment and other emotions put on display. Still they'd have to get over it for the time being and he had orders to give to ensure they withstood this assault. A few moments later he drew out a megaphone and started speaking through it.



"ALRIGHT LISTEN THE HELL UP! IT'S TIME FOR THE SHORT AND SWEET OF THE SITUATION. HELL IS HERE. HELL IS PISSED OFF. AND HELL IS COMING BACK EVEN FROM THAT BLAST OF THE PAST. ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PROFICIENT OR HEAVILY USE KIDO GET ON THE WALLS AND START CASTING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE. IF YOU'VE GOT A ZANPAKUTO THAT IS SIMILAR TO KIDO OR HAS THE MEANS TO USE LONG TO INTERMEDIATE CAPABILITIES GET UP HERE ALSO AND DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU STOP SEEING HELLIONS. EVERYONE ELSE REINFORCE THE GATE, SPREAD A FEW GUARDS AROUND THE LONG RANGE ATTACKERS AND KEEP TABS ON THOSE AROUND YOU. IF YOU FIND INJURED INDIVIDUALS TAKE THEM DOWN BEHIND THE WALL AND PATCH THEM UP. AND LASTLY WE NEED MESSENGERS. GET YOUR FASTEST INDIVIDUALS ON THEIR FEET AND SPREAD THEM TO THE OTHER GATES. WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEY NEED TO KNOW OUR SITUATION AT THE SOUTHERN GATE. IF THERE ARE 10TH SEATS AND UP TAKE CHARGE OF THOSE IMMEDIATELY AROUND YOU. GET TO YOUR PLACES!"





Everyone remained still for a moment before finally taking a moment to realize what was going on and what was said. Once they had the chaotic mess was . . . well still chaotic and crazy. Individuals were screaming and some were sending out orders but despite the chaos there was some degree of order. People had jobs and tasks and things were starting to get set up as Ludwig had ordered. It'd likely take a few minutes before the entirety of his battle plan would get set up but given his kido from earlier they had a few minutes if nothing else to ready themselves. Though as one would expect it wasn't exactly taking long for Hell to come back through the gates and in just as large a swarm as before. Ludwig sighed and put a hand on his hip with yet another frown forming. They really don't know when to stay well enough away don't they? Can't blame em. They've got numbers on us like nothing any of us have ever seen. Still it didn't look like anyone survived the blast either so they should know to be more cautious now. The real question is do I remain here? Or travel around to check up each gate? The walls should stand but the gates are what I'm concerned about. . .what the hell?



Ludwig hadn't realized it prior given he had been dealing with the on coming horde but there was an immensely malevolent reiatsu that had damn near over layered the opposing gate to him. And worse yet another had decided to do something similar. . . but then one vanished. It wasn't a death throes vanished reiatsu, that much Ludwig knew for a fact. He'd been around hollows and had slain them enough to know what that felt like. This was willing. This was making his stomach cave in on itself because it gave him an eeriely similar feeling that he knew exactly what this was. He needed to leave and now if it was. And if it wasn't it still couldn't be good, no one reduced all their spiritual capabilities without a plan in mind. With a quick glance around Ludwig fortunately found vice captain that was one of the kido attackers on the wall. They looked to be from the 8th squad which was fine by him. He just needed someone.



Wasting no time Ludwig immediately began to draw a jetpack and it was about as rudimentary as you'd expect. It was two rockets strapped together with something akin to a couple straps and a belt to hold a person to it. Within moments he ripped it out and placed it on his person. The vice captain in question noticed him approach and was about to say something but Ludwig ultimately ignored it. "I need to leave. I don't have time to explain but you are in charge of this gate. Keep tabs on those on and behind the walls. Send word to the opposite side of the seireitei if you believe you will be losing the wall. I will come back or attempt to do something but there are bigger fish to fry at the moment. Also from here on out, injuries will stick because I'm leaving. Tell the kido users to keep this in mind."



With all said and done Ludwig immediately started up the jetpack and began barreling towards the opposite end of the seireitei. It was sadly highly obvious that he was coming due to his toon world following him. Thus for half a mile in front of him the world would start changing as mentioned earlier. Thought after thought flew through his mind as to who or what could have caused this. He didn't know of any hellions personally aside from kitai. . . which made him wonder if he was involved at all. It was certainly possible but they'd come to some sort of terms hadn't they? It could have been a ruse. Or kitai could have forgotten. . . He sighed heavily as anything was possible with that man. However the focus at the moment needed to be on the Soul Society's survival and more specifically whatever was going on at the northern gate. And the sooner her got there the better. However if he saw Kitai along the way? Oh there would be words if he was the cause. . . Round 3 would happen and Ludwig would make damn certain he wasn't going back to Hell unscathed.

Jetpack:

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

It was in these moments that as Senshi watched this strange transformation that something seemed wrong. Terribly wrong. Mainly because in this form, she couldn't sense him in the slightest. No malevolence. No violent flare. If Orobas was a great fly, he might as well have been one that had fallen into soup. She couldn't tell he was there. Not even as he blurred at incredible speeds, tapping her on the shoulder. Her eyes widened, and then, she found herself stuck, unable to move against this sudden force that pinned her. Rikujokoro he said.

Kido. "Nmpgh!" She didn't bother moving when he said his incantation, mainly because of how shellshocked she was. Her body seemingly frozen in place by this spell. She turns her head to look momentarily at Celes, wondering her history with the monster, and it was there, she looks upon the monster before the redheaded Shinigami takes a deep breath. Within that very moment, the outline of a box forms around both the redheaded Shinigami, as well as this monster. Before it closes, the redheaded Shinigami tells Celes one thing. "Forget about me. Run."

The redheaded reaper uses her own Zanpakutou's many intersecting and water fluid blades to wrap around her in a dome like shape before in all directions, the black segmented blades look to slash outwards in all directions in intersecting forms and shapes. "Kurohitsugi..." However, Senshi was determined, and a defiant Shinigami. Not the kind to surrender in the face of adversity. Not even when her life was on the line. "Hiden: Shonin Joka Mizusekkai!" Manipulating the water like qualities of her blade and its extension, from the dome, several extensions of thin watery blades whip straight out towards Orobas.

She theorized if he paused to absorb the Kurohitsugi of which threatened to impale him on all sides, he could not do so and protect himself from Shonin Joka's very physical form at the same time. Senshi however...was generally foolish. Unprepared for the utter destructive potential that Orobas held. At the end of it all, Senshi could feel the intenseness of the Kurohitsugi, from even within her dome. The power of its destructive and twisting energies. As the dome of her whip like blade ceases, and as the Black Box fades, she could feel the blood dripping from her forehead. 

She could feel the odd feeling of vertigo as her hand clenches tightly onto her blade, her fingers tensing together, as she could feel as if there was an odd warping sensation. Her breathing was heavy, before she slumps forward in her bondage. It hurt. It always hurt. To live like the way she had been. To be facing off against monsters like this despite her weakness. Senshi could feel herself lightly cough crimson. She could feel the blood dripping and soaking from the holes in her body from the burrowed insects.

Not yet. Not yet. She told herself. Buy another few seconds. A minute. Never let the enemy advance. Protect everyone! However, there was never any voice that ever told her to protect herself. Not as her fingernails lay cracked from the pressurizing force that was her own Kurohitsugi. "I'm so sorry...that I was so weak. Everyone..." She says, the pain flooding into her form. 'If only I could have been strong. Born strong...Strong enough to protect everyone. Myself.' With that, the crimson headed Shinigami goes limp.

Her blade clenched in hand, but reverting back into its sealed state, and with it, the redheaded reaper lay very still. Her blood slowly pooling at her feet. 'Maybe next time...I can be happy.' With her eyes closed, she imagined a life, where she wasn't some soldier, or mutilated cripple. Instead, a smiling, and happy woman, waiting at home for someone. For the door to open, and she could only imagine Kaen with a smiling, charismatic grin. Coming back from work in some business suit. She felt a warmth in her heart then, despite the pain in her body and blood she had lost. 

Wouldn't that kind of dream be nice? Senshi didn't want to wake up. Her blade finally drops down to the floor with a clatter. To most, it might seem like the redheaded reaper had died. Perhaps she had. 

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai could still remember a time at which he was good at sensing energy, way back in his youth. A time before he had joined Uzaki at his superhero clubhouse. He almost wished that he could still sense energy to a finer degree, because he wanted to know why the hell he could feel the rancid aura of Hell washing over him like a smothering miasma. He couldn't imagine how this would feel to someone halfway competent at that, because this was all kinds of wrong! He figured that Orobas was going to kick down the doors and slap a few people around, NOT BRING LITERAL HELL DOWN ON ALL OF THEIR HEADS! The Lunatic was seething in anger at the sheer lunacy of unleashing Hell upon the Soul Reapers.

The clone was nearly at the gate, where he could make out a few figures fighting atop the wooden doorway. He needed a disguise, someone who would make sense defending the people of this place. It couldn't be Ludwig, the original was going to be bringing him later. What other reaper had he- Oh! That's right, he might just work. What was his name again? Did he even say his name when they fought? "...Well, this is going to be awkward to explain." The doppelgänger said to himself. "Thank goodness I won't be the one doing it." He grinned, imagining the aftermath of that little interaction. It was a small glimmer of amusement in an extraordinarily bleak situation.

Then a massive black and purple box materialized around the two fighters. The clone recognized the description of Kurohitsugi from the real Kitai's ranting about his fight with Orobas, and that was his assumption of who exactly was behind the brutally effective hado. Needle-like protrusions covered the top and sides of the box, plunging deeper into the structure. And like that, Kitai knew he didn't have any more time to screw around. The mark on his back glowed a bright green, visible through his clothing as his form shimmered and changed. Envy was not a terribly hard thing to feel, especially towards people in positions of power, or those who've managed to defeat him before. The flames of Hell licked his feet, as he vanished in a burst of Bringer Dark.

"Hado number four twenty! Fist!" A voice cried out to the Akki's side, as a man in a captain's uniform came flying at Orobas with a dropkick. The man had light brown hair, brown eyes, and looked to be in his late thirties, and his captain's coat had the kanji for 'six' on the back. Kitai had chosen a the wizard he got absolutely annihilated by the last time he was here, and he was going to see how long it would take the akki to recognize that it wasn't a shinigami. Given that his Reiatsu Scrambler was active, along with Envy, he doubted they would figure it out through energy sensory. If his kick managed to land, he was expecting them to go flying over the wall. If not, the captain's fingers would dig into the wood, killing off his momentum with a spinning handstand, legs flailing around like a top.

Showing off his total mastery of Kido, the man flicks himself backwards over the hopefully still living body of the other captain, landing on his feet in a crouch. "You dastardly Hellion! How could you do this to my fellow captain!" He says dramatically, pulling her up over his shoulder. He was keeping his eye on the akki that was presumably Orobas. The clone had been made quite literally days before the real one had encountered the Hellion, so quite frankly he had no idea if this was them. If they were, then either Kitai was very wrong, or they've changed something about them. As it was, the clone couldn't sense them at all.

It was an unsettling feeling. It was like looking at a void, something where no energy escaped. He hefted the tiny captain onto his shoulder, pointing his finger at the anomaly. "You, are creepy!" He declared, trying to sound as 'in charge' as he could, not knowing at all how a leader would sound. In another flicker of movement, the disguised Hellion launched themselves back towards the Seireitei proper. He was looking to try and find the real Kitai, either to bring this person back from the dead, or someone to heal them, because he had diddly squat that could actually heal her at the moment. If he saw a group of healers, he would drop them.

---

Normally the real Kitai wouldn't have been able to sense what was going on outside the walls of this blasted place, but the numbers were impossible to hide. Even with his total lack of energy sensory, the raw number of Hell Gates and Hellions pouring out of them. It was giving him flashbacks of all the torture he'd gone through there. It was like Hell was threatening to swallow the entirety of this purgatory of an afterlife, and that thought scared his more than anything he cared to think about at the moment. That was an outcome he could not, would not allow, even if he had to go out there and unleash the full might of the Black Fog himself.

The Saika had managed to find his way over to the Squad Thirteen area of this massive maze of a military base. The area was mostly empty, all of the good little soldiers scrambling about like a swarm of fire ants. It made it easier for him to climb to the top of the building's roof. "Stupid cartoonist, couldn't even make it easy to find him. 'Oh look at me, I'm Ludwig, I have a stable job and people under my employ'!" The Lunatic muttered to himself, imitating the captain's voice as he scaled the side of the building. He hefted himself up with a huff, standing and stretching his back. He took a deep breath, noting the hint of sulfur and brimstone lingering in the air.

"LUDWIG YOU STUPID SLUT! I'M SITTING ON YOUR HOUSE! GET YOUR SORRY ASS OVER HERE!" With the power of Outlandish Insult, giant words matching the insult he yelled out to the sky. His unparalleled mastery of the technique, as well as having a good moment to form the words, each letter was roughly fifty feet wide, flying up towards the Seki-Seki barrier. He crossed his arms, looking at a watch that clearly wasn't on his wrist, tapping his foot as he stood there looking like someone who just asked to see your manager. In truth, he was hoping that the Captain wouldn't nuke him form orbit the moment he saw him. There was a reason he was standing on the roof of his own barracks for this encounter.

[Alastor Caedes]

"Wow. I didn't think it was actually possible. Next to you, Orobas is a gem to talk to. You've actually found a way to be more condescending and unlike Orobas, insufferable." Well This was not the first time Alastor had seen a insult thrown his way. The Akki only laughed as he shook his head, shrugging it off without a issue. "The commoners always talk trash..." Noticing she very quickly dodge the eye's beam and make a assault for him. Alastor was just gonna eat the arm thrown at him. If it wasn't for Orobas completely shutting it down in a heart beat. "Well... ah yes... That-" Alastor immediately blinked when he felt Orobas's reiatsu surge, then vanish. 

Flicking his head over to Orobas and noticing the shift, Alastor knew this technique. Saigo. "Well guess we aren't holding back now are we?....Cuartra Etapa." With that Alastor's form began to swell. His height increasing to twelve feet tall, any form of linen and clothing on his body would burst off. His bodies's red muscle flesh being covered in a black chitin like armor. Slumping over onto all fours, eight additional arms burst from his upper back and shoulder area. Eyes forming along both sides of his shoulders, along his spine, and in a arch on his head. A moment passed before all of the eyes went from dotted iris's to slits Each eye having bone like tooth armor covering them. Along the sides of his shoulders formed two mouths capable of speech, 

In Alastor's mind, The King sighed. A human looking man with long silver hair wearing babylonian royalty fabrics. 'Psycho.....Deal with them, ill provide support this time.' The King sat in darkness bathed in a single spotlight of torch fire. Yet from the Darkness, Alastor's Akki form would walk out. ' Perfect....' 

"Well Shinigami.... i can't hit you... so lets see you hit me~" 

With that from the chains on his ankles. Six flaming hands sprout out and wrapped around his entire body like a aetherial flaming cocoon. However with that now out of the way. Some of the eyes would flick on over towards Orobas as he recognized a spell being cast. Kurohitsugi. Yet. The Psycho knew that this shinigami woman was no where near powerful enough to even properly harm Orobas. Not in their current state However, he would turn to Celes. " I didn't know you shinigami had suicide bombers!... Man where were those three thousand years ago!? Are there more of them?! This is exciting!" The sentence followed by a cacophony of laughter. 

What the immediate group wouldn't notice, but Ludwig would notice was that the terrain of 200ft of demonic carnival would of expanded to 800ft at the same moment as Alastor's reiatsu spiked from his release. The Akki grinned, yet only had a look of confusion as Kitai 2 appeared in his flesh suit. Psycho wasn't aware that it was currently Kitai 2, just another shinigami captain. "...Another play mate.... This one loud... bet he tastes good...." In a flash of darkness Alastor disappeared and reappeared behind Kitai 2. With that The eye on his hip would take aim at Kitai 2 and fire straight into Kitai's 2's liver. Whether it hit or not, the Psycho didn't care. 

Meanwhile the King had controlled the other half of the eyes and never had them move from Celes's position if he could help it. He wanted to see if Celes would take the bait and ram herself into six layers of pure hellfire arms, potentially destroying herself in a vain attempt to harm him. Yet again, doing this made it quite difficult to do too much. The Psycho had control over the rest of the body, while the King had control of the eyes. "Come Shinigami.... I came here three thousand years ago to do this very thing. I wonder if i will leave with any more captain souls..... Probably not. My old bones just... aren't what they used to be."

Technique Name: [Grasp of the Dead]



Class: [2]



Technique Type: [General Sinner Technique]



Usable By: [Hell Races]



Technique Element: [Fire]



Technique Description and Effects:[This is a very tricky ability for Hell users to first pickup, but absolutely invaluable once they've gotten the hang of it. By manipulating their chains, the users of this ability are able to channel heat and flames through the blackened bindings tethering them to Hell, creating a long arm of energy. The construct is an extension of the user in almost every way, being as dexterous as its creator. The Hands are spiritual in nature, and scale off of the user's highest spiritual stat. For every 50 in either rs or sprp, the hands can extend one foot. Hands move at a speed of 600, or equal to the user, whichever is faster. Hands have a piercing power equal to the spiritual stat of the user, and burn away anything with less than half of the users spiritual stat, destroying anything it touches. Cost, 100 reiatsu per post. Each level of mastery grants the user an additional pair of arms, up to three pairs.]



How to use technique: [Stated above.]



Technique Drawbacks: [User must have at least a 2 in pain resistance, or similar Skills in order to use this ability.]

Technique Name: [Placidus]



Class: [4]



Technique Type: [Other]



Technique Element: [None]



Technique Description and Effects:



This is the Akki step technique. While Akki can use step techniques from other races, this technique is particularly devastating because it belongs to them. This is the unique Akki ability for stepping.



What this technique does is allow the Akki to phase briefly in and out of their current plain of existence. In other words, they momentarily disappear, blinking out of existence. As they do, a flash of black explodes outwards. Anyone that witnesses them blinking out of existence will suddenly see nothing but blackness for that split second. It is hardly enough to affect the battle, but rather it is theatrical. The Akki, during that brief second, is gone, and cannot be attacked. This is a direct "teleportation," unlike Shunpo or Sonido, which are merely fast movement.



Averagely, this is performed at 15x the user's speed, making it one of the fastest individual steps. It is also known to be able to move forwards within three small steps rather than one. It can also be done for one. If done in three, the same distance is covered in three smaller steps, creating a theatrical flash of black with each appearance and disappearance. Additionally, there is a flash of white light when the Akki reappears and blinks back into existence. Any who witness this flash of light will suddenly see hallucinations of horrible monstrosities and new body features on the Akki in question that uses this technique, and their fear of the individual will increase.



How to use technique:



Like all step techniques, this one requires a simple step as well. It is done for 200 reiatsu per use, which is why most Akki prefer to use the steps of other races. It is an expensive step technique, but is easily one of the most powerful.

Technique Name: [Eye of Yami]



Class: [4]



Technique Type: [Spiritual]



Usable By: [Hellions]



Technique Element: [Void]



Technique Description and Effects: [Often referred to as 'Gaze of the Abyss', as to not tempt fate. When this technique is activated, an eye is formed on the skin of the user. This eye can form on any surface of the body, so long as there is space for an eye. The eye has black sclera instead of white, with a purple iris. This eye gives the user the ability to see through this newly formed organ, in order to aim it. Once it is formed, the user can pay 150 reiatsu to fire out a beam of energy. This beam is deafening in its silence, and can be heard in spite of the lack of sound. The beam consists of empty space, erasing and consuming any matter that comes into contact with the attack. For any spiritual being, or anything that has the ability to resist this attack, this will inflict burns upon them. The os of this technique is dependent on the user's highest spiritual stat. In order to form an eye, the user must pay 50 reiatsu. This eye lasts three posts before closing and vanishing.]

[Celes Castellanos]

"What the hell?!" This was the question that roared through the Captain's mind. She had appeared behind the two Akki, ready to immobilize them using her spectral arm. As the arm swopped in, ready to crush the two invading Hellions and leave them writhing in agony...Celes' eyes darted towards Orobas. Their body had flashed just mere moments before the Shinigami enclosed her hand around the Akki. She was certainly not ready for what came next as the Akki's flesh took on a surprisingly soothing tone. It was like a blue surge of reiatsu had simply washed over Orobas. It took a moment that the hand that closed around the Hellions began to grow smaller. In fact, it began to be drawn into Orobas. The Captain's eyes widened for a moment as she gingerly bit her lip. The grip was broken in mere moments leaving Orobas and Alastor unrestrained...

She was simply surprised. Shocked even. This shock left her simply staring at the Akki. As Orobas spoke, Celes simply listened. "I shall say this now, and only this once; I have absolutely no intention to kill you, Celes. Or even any of Soul Society for that matter; when you walk by an ant-hill, do you stop to kick it down, or simply ignore it? The lot of you are nothing more than the ants." Once more, Celes' eyes widened. She gently gripped her arm as her eyes narrowed. "Are..they seriously trying to appeal to me now? I know that the demon horde showed up after them...with the other Akki, but..." Celes continued peering at him, still pondering for a moment. "They are clearly looking down on us." Celes would proceed to tap her foot upon the ground they stood on. "Typical..." Celes was about to begin moving again, but it seemed that Orobas would make their move first. 

Celes felt it clear as day. A surge of reiatsu exploded outward from the Akki. The reiatsu tore at her astral self, pushing against. The Captain stood her ground, but the power she was feeling...it was unlike anything that she had experienced thus far. Just as she braced herself for more, something odd would occur. This torrent of reiatsu that pushed against...the wave that made her head spin...it all just stopped. As it collapsed back upon Orobas, she felt nothing. She could clearly see Orobas, but the Akki gave off no energy. In addition to this, their form changed. No longer surrounded by swarms of beetles and other insects. Instead Orobas would be clad in ebony robes. Their hair became a pale white and they took on a far more youthful appearance. This man looked nothing like the Akki who had just previously made the mock offer of peace.

This would hardly be the least of their worries. As Orobas' form changed, so would Alastor. "Well guess we aren't holding back now are we?....Cuartra Etapa." His transformation would not be as elegant as that of Orobas. The stylish clothing he wore leapt forth and he grew. As eyes formed, mouths developed and his body seemed to contort is what seemed to be a rather painful way several arms leaping from the Akki's body, Alastor looked far more grotesque. Whereas Orobas' form had some charm to it, Alastor had developed into an utter monstrosity. Celes glared at the rather vulgar Akki until she saw something else that disturbed her. Orobas had vanished from sight. The tendrils of flame that arose from Alastor were otable, but there was something chilling about Orobas. Celes' eyes quickly darted over to Senshi as Orobas appeared just behind her. The Captain of the Tenth Division had little time to react. In fact, she she had not even seen any form of movement from the Orobas. Suddenly, Celes heard the Akki speak once more. Something that sounded like spellwork. "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six."

Celes' eyes widened as she was about to move. "Shit!" Before she could even will herself to dash at Senshi, the deed had already been done. Six cones of light suddenly roared into life, digging themselves into Senshi's skin. In mere moments, Senshi would find herself immobilized by the Rikujokoro. Celes could see it immediately. There was disbelief in Senshi's eyes. Her expression spoke only of how shocked she was. Followed by this, Orobas offered the same advice as they did before. "If the two of you look to fight us, I won't stop you. In truth, though, I'm merely here for that figurehead of yours; the Captain Commander. My only stake in being here is to spill his blood across the soil. Let me be on my way, and we won't have to resort to bloodshed. Am I understood?" Once again, she stared at Orobas, dumfounded. Celes did not respond once more. Instead, she looked at Senshi once more.

There was something else. Defiance. Drive. Passion. All these would be represented as Celes locked eyes with her peer, the words she spoke taking a moment to be processed by Celes.  "Forget about me. Run." Celes simply stood there, mortified as she started to move. Before she could even make it a few meters, the Captain spoke once more.  "Kurohitsugi..." followed by a sudden callout.  "Hiden: Shonin Joka Mizusekkai!" Meanwhile, Celes could only stand there as the dome around both herself and Orobas turned back. Darkening and obfuscating them, Celes reached her hand out, screaming loudly. "SENSHI!!!!" Sharpened thorns formed on the perimeter of the fabled Black Coffin, pushing in and potentially spearing both Senshi and Orobas alike. Waves of air rushed forth from the ebony coffin, threatening to push into Celes once more. Bracing herself once more, Celes focused upon her Shikai. Allowing reiatsu to flow through it, she gave it clearer focus. Doing so caused a change within her Shikai. Tendrils quickly sprouted forth from the arm and head that were formed by her Shikai. The tendrils spread across the limb and head, giving it far more humanoid features. She'd also be focusing more of her reiatsu into her astral form.

As the dust settled and Celes regained sight of the Shinigami and her Akki opponent, Celes noticed Senshi's crumbling form as the black box of reiatsu likely cracked and split into countless pieces. Had Senshi not been immobilized by the Rikujokoro, Celes was sure that she'd be collapsing any second. Suddenly, Celes ran as fast as she could. She'd will herself to move without fear and without a care in the world. Yet as she came within a few dozen feet of Senshi, Celes could begin to hear the broken voice of the redheaded Captain.  "I'm so sorry...that I was so weak. Everyone..." Just like that...Celes stopped in her tracks. She looked at Senshi who began to slump. Her Zanpakutou reverted back, and she was motionless. If it wasn't for the extreme unease that Celes felt due to Orobas, she'd have approached closer, but instead she bit her lip. Her eyes would quickly descend upon Alastor as the Akki spoke. "I didn't know you shinigami had suicide bombers!... Man where were those three thousand years ago!? Are there more of them?! This is exciting!"

In that moment, her world stood still. She focused entirely on Alastor. Orobas did not even register for her. Instead, she'd look at the malformed Akki with a fire in her eyes. As she spoke, her words were filled with venom. "You callous...sadistic...Oh! You truly make my stomach turn. That Shinigami you dismissed as nothing more than a suicide bomber was one of the finest Captains I knew!" For the first time in a while, Celes had lost her stoic and rather respectful demeanor. It would be clear that she had nothing, but vitriol in her heart for Alastor. "You better hope that there is some corner of Hell where you can hide by the time, I'm finished with you!" As Celes turned to Orobas, about to make similar threats the Shinigami would be interrupted by a voice that rang in the distance. "Hado number four twenty! Fist!" Nothing but confusion touched Celes' face as she tried to process what was about to happen.

Appearing in a flash, Kitai, who was disguised as the Captain of the Sixth Division, suddenly attempted to dropkick Orobas. If the hit successfully landed, Celes would raise an eyebrow, but nonetheless be impressed with the improvisation. Though something was off. As Kitai showed up, Celes saw a face she immediately recognized. It was Kyomei Kuchiki! A Captain and renowned Kido Specialist with which Celes had worked together in the past. She stared in confusion as she tried to process this. Kyomei was a Kido Specialist. Not one typically known for engaging in physical combat. Regardless, if the dropkick landed with quite some serious force, Celes wouldn't complain. More than that, she was impressed with this Captain immediately attempting to prioritize Senshi's safety. "You dastardly Hellion! How could you do this to my fellow captain!"

Shortly after Kitai presumedly moved Senshi to safety, so would Alastor begin to make his move. Though first were the typical declaration by lowlife-scum such as Alastor. "...Another play mate.... This one loud... bet he tastes good...." Celes scoffed, but her disapproval would be cut short as the Akki vanished in a flash of darkness. Celes' eyes quickly combed the battlefield. Her honed instincts when combined with her heightened eyesight allowed her to easily take note of the Akki who had reappeared behind Kitai. As he shrouded himself in the tendrils of flame, firing yet a similar beam at Kitai, Celes would do her best to support her newly arrived ally. There was more than just that on the line, however. Alastor had made light of Senshi's sacrifice and that did not sit well with Celes. She would do what she could to utterly cripple this Akki.

Taking a moment to move at her natural speed of 625, easily eclipsing that of Alastors', the Shinigami would focus reiatsu within her legs. For the majority of her movement, Celes would be racing towards Alastor at a speed of 1875, leaving behind a temporary afterimage that quickly shifted back and forth before fading into obscurity. Using her incredible speed, Celes would attempt to appear to the side of her opponent. At the same time, she'd allow her Shikai to fade for a moment, leaving herself within extremely close range of the Akki. She'd use this moment of what she assumed was likely surprise to utterly lay into Alastor. From here, Celes began to channel reiatsu through her entire body. It flowed mainly into her arms, but channeled through her muscles and nerves, protecting them from harm. She'd unleash a physical flurry so severe that it would likely leave Alastor writhing.

In less that a moment after, Celes let the reiatsu in her limbs flow freely. At the same time, she'd begin punching Alastor. While Alastor was under the assumption that his cacoon of hellfire would offer him protection, he greatly underestimated the Captain's capabilities. Celes' arms began to blur as she began to deliver a set of one-hundred punches. Occuring at a speed of 1250, the entire flurry would be over in less than a breath. As soon as Celes' hands came into contact with any of the flaming hands, she'd likely be able to simply punch a hole through them, opening an entire window for her to unleash her flurry upon Alastor. If even a quarter of the imperceptible blows landed, they'd clash with his Legatus Guard. Fortunately, if more would collide, Celes began to acclimate to the nature of the Guard. She'd gradually begin to overcome it until she hopefully landed a decisive hit, the first of what she hoped were many to come. If Alastor found himself being hit by even one of her incredible flurry, he'd likely find it to ravage his body as each would also send a powerful shockwave through his system. At the same time, if Alastor caught on and even attempted to react to her, Celes would utilize another Shukuchi-Ho. While she'd use it regardless of his attempts or if he even took notice, Celes knew that it would benefit her greatly either way. Instead of moving out of striking distance, Celes would move around the perimeter of his body at a speed of 1875 and leave another afterimage, peppering every inch that she could with countless punches and hopefully taking more than just the wind out of him.

{Gigei Mikon: Hyuku Shikon - 1625 OS}
Technique Name: Gigei Mikon: Hyaku Shikon [Wild Arts: Hundred Fangs]

Class: 3

Technique Type: Other

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

This technique was developed in order to increase the user's strength in hand-to-hand combat. Using this technique sends Reiatsu pooling into the muscles and joints of his arms and hands, strengthening them and increasing their resilience. By using that same Reiatsu, he sends powerful impulses to the nerves that allows his limbs to react quickly in the form of a hundred powerful punches. Each one is fired off at twice the user's current Speed stat, causing his limbs to blur as the attacks are delivered in a sudden barrage that lasts only a few seconds. Each hit’s damage is equal to the combined total of user’s base Strength and Speed after type. This causes a massive amount of damage in a short time.

How to use technique: The user focuses their Reiatsu into the arms, strengthening the muscles and bones first to prevent excessive damage from overuse of the limbs. Following that, the same Reiatsu is channeled into the nerves and causes them to fire impulses rapidly, making his limbs move quickly in the form of a hundred lightning-fast blows.

Drawback: Moving one’s limbs beyond their natural limits causes strain and damage on the muscles and bone; though Reiatsu is first channeled to prevent the worst of the damage, each use of this technique wears down the muscles and causes them to throb heavily after only one use. Two uses within five posts causes the muscles to begin tearing, and small fractures along the bone. Three uses within five posts will completely tear several muscles while cracking the bones, and any additional uses within that initial five posts will render the user's arms useless without proper healing. This technique can only safely be used eight times within a thread without healing.

Requirements: This requires a 2 in Hakuda to perform.

{Shukuchi-Ho}Technique Name: Shukuchi-Ho (Reduced Earth Steps)

Class: 3

Technique Type: Hakuda

Technique Element: None.

Description: The user makes use of his innate speed to move flawlessly. From a standing stance, or from any resting position, the first step that the user does becomes an illusion, moving quickly than the eye can see. This technique gives the user a short burst of speed to move and invade an opponent's personal space, and engage in hand to hand combat, or to weave in and out of an opponent's attack. This move triples normal speed for each step, and uses no reiatsu.

How to use: The user simply channels reiatsu around his feet instead of gathering spirit particles as what Shunpo or Sonido does.

Drawback(s): Shukuchi-Ho requires its user to have at least a base SPEED of 400 points, and is versed in Hakuda (meaning the character must be very knowledgeable in the shinigami art of hand-to-hand fighting). Also, the technique can only be used if the opponent is within 10 meters of the user. If the opponent is too far, the technique cannot be used. A maximum of 2 steps per post can only be done using Shukuchi-Ho, nothing more, nothing less. Note that Shukuchi-Ho is by no means superior to Shunpo or Sonido.
