Final Feast [RAMPAGE][DP]

[Colina Conejita]

Colina shimmered into existence among the white sands of Hueco mundo, staring up at the crescent moon hung above in the pitch black sky. Her face was hard with determination as she appeared, having left the Human World and absorbing so many hollow that had come to hurt the humans. She was carrying on the legacy of Caballaro and wanted to find those responsible for the horde that was sent into the world of the living. She didn’t have much to go on but she was certain that it would have to do with the disappearance of her friend. With her eyes slowly closing, Colina stood still as her six foot tall frame became rigid and tried to allow her mind to expand out into the desert to try and find a source of power. To find an Arrancar.

She stood there for a while and grew bored, so Colina began walking. It was then she finally felt a surge of power, a ripple in the waves of the sands beneath her that seemed to be responding back to her. And she felt it rushing towards her, a power equivalent to the Arrancar that had appeared in the world of the living. She felt more behind it as well, as if they might be coming in waves. Colina’s eyes snapped open as she began to respond in kind, rushing forward with haste. At first she was running on two legs and letting her arms lag behind but she eventually switched to running on all four limbs, churning sand behind her in cascading falls. It looked like water falling from a great height at the peaks and simply crashed into piles behind her, leaving a trail that anyone might follow.

When Colina felt the first source of spiritual force get close, she slowed for a moment and began looking ahead and scanned for where the power’s source was. And that’s when she saw the burrowing sand ahead of her, growing like small hills in a line heading straight for her. When she got within ten feet of the trail’s end she stopped, skidding in the sand with her feet while leaning back and digging her left claw into the sand behind her. The arrancar, a dark and lean man in robes of white and tan, leapt from beneath the sand while holding a large drill bit of a weapon approximately three feet in length and five feet wide at it’s largest width by the Arrancar’s hand. He looked down at Colina with calm and cruel eyes, causing Colina to growl as she launched into the air after him.

As Colina flew into the air, she turned her body about into an aerial somersault and began putting her legs closer to the Arrancar. He was currently readying his weapon, pulling his arm back and bending it at the elbow in order to gain strength for a thrusting motion. It was an easily readable attack, but Colina could tell there must have been more behind it. As she went to kick at the Arrancar’s weapon she found out what the twist was. Literally, the drill bit began twisting and spinning while building up a blue and black energy around it and Colina could feel the strength of a cero behind it. Colina’s eyes went wide and she launched her legs forth, colliding with the Arrancar’s arm by extending her legs to their furthest reach. Just in time, the weapon’s aim was knocked off course, launching the cero into the sand beneath and his unarmed limb that Colina had kicked became dislocated at the shoulder joint.

The Arrancar screamed in rage and pain as he flew into a slight spin and fell to the sands, gripping his left shoulder by dropping his weapon next to him. He struggled with relocating it into his socket but found it futile, struggling for far too long while Colina regained her composure. When she fell, she flopped directly into the sand on her shoulder blades, feeling the sand digging into her skin with it’s coarseness. She grew frustrated with the feeling and rolled backwards in order to get on all fours again before heading into a charge towards her enemy. She wasn’t going to mince words with this foul creature. If he was part of the plot to kill Caballaro she would give no room for him to try and correct himself. He deserved no mercy and would be slaughtered.

As Colina continued her rush towards her foe, the sands became a blinding cloud behind her in the short distance between them, following her lack a foul omen. Her body disappeared amongst the chaos of the sand particles, a mist of unnatural making that obscured her from his eyes. The Arrancar yelled and began covering his eyes with his useable arm, trying to keep the sand from getting into his eyes and possibly keeping some visibility for Colina in order to guard against her. While he lifted his arm to his eye line Colina took advantage of his weak points and charged passed, using her right claw to open up his abdomen to the outside.

As the blood flowed out the Arrancar screamed in pain, lowering his arm to his stomach and turning to see where Colina went. But it was pointless as she was already gone and coming around to the other side, charging back in with her ferocity fueling her charge. She came up along his back next, cleaving with her left claw this time and slicing up into his back and exposing muscles and sinew on his right shoulder blade. She had even managed to expose some of his bone and could see how his shoulder blade moved as he arched his back in agony in response to her. The Arrancar decided he was fed up with this tactic from Colina and decided to lift his right arm, charging his black and blue energy around it.

He began rapid firing his Bala in random areas, trying to catch her off guard in order to possibly trip her as she continued dashing about him. Colina tried to dodge from all of the bala, but eventually even her speed was not enough to evade, having one collide directly in front of her path. As Colina tripped through to new dugout in front of her she began to roll through the sand. She writhed about, searching for a foothold somewhere in the sand as she thrashed through it. When she finally did, the dust cloud was slowly falling and becoming much thinner, allowing her to see the Arrancar had reacquired his weapon, lifting it up and pointing it in Colina’s direction. “Insufferable little wretch... Stop trying to avenge that little bastard of a traitor!”

With those words, Colina’s eyes were flood with red in them and left her feeling cruel. Her body became rigid while she watched the Arrancar begin to charge up his cero again. He smiled as sweat dripped down his forehead, the tenseness of the situation and the pain starting to get to him. But he felt he was going to win having successfully thrown Colina into a mental blockade. Atleast, that was what he thought he had accomplished with his callous remark about how Colina wanted to avenge her missing friend. But he was dead wrong. Pun intended.

Colina roared as she fell to all fours again, her body stretching out while arching her neck upward to accentuate the volume before going into a charge. Her body lurched forward with all of her strength again, heading directly towards the Arrancar and into the path of the Cero’s aim. The drill spun loudly, starting to emit a grinding sound unlike before and disturbed the sand beneath it while charging up. The Arrancar silently gave small nods as if encouraging Colina to continue her charge forth. But Colina decided to do something different this time and as the Cero finished its charge and was about to launch, Colina gave a small jump and burrowed beneath the sand, causing the Arrancar to freeze at the surprise. And his Cero flew forward, burning through the sand and leaving a trail through it, glowing red with heat.

Colina then burrowed beneath the path of the Cero and lunged out from beneath the particles, baring her fangs and claws at him. The Arrancar tried shielding himself with his weapon but found the tactic too slow and fruitless as Colina used her left arm to pull the drill bit aside and yank it from his grasp. As she over extended his arm, she saw the exposing of his neck and couldn’t help herself. Her mask’s fangs sunk into the flesh, engulfing the entirety of his neck in her maw while clamping down and crushing the Arrancar’s throat. Blood spewed from his mouth as his soundless cries fell out and continued with no notice from another being. And Colina filled herself with his essence as she continued tearing him to pieces.

Skills

Battle Analysis: 2
This is used to analyze combat specifics. When someone has this Skill, they can quickly evaluate what is happening and respond accordingly. This includes gauging what kind of technique was used and how to best avoid it logically. A 1 means you're standard. A 2 means you have a good grasp on battle analytics and can hold your own exceptionally well. A 3 means you are familiar with virtually any technique. A 4 means you are familiar with every technique and can come up with unique ways to avoid them, so long as your Stats allow for it.

Lack of Fear: 2
Your character can either ignore fear or does not feel it at all depending on how many points are given. A 1 means you can ignore things that are mildly scary, like thriller movies. A 2 means you may be able to resist fear, but if you are exposed to it repeatedly, it may overwhelm you. A 3 means you can completely ignore any fears, including your own. A 4 means you feel no fear at all, no matter what. This can be used in tandem with Light Aura to make you unquestionably immune.

Street Fighting: 2
This works in the same way that Weapons and Martial Arts do. It does not need any specification since it is its own subject. The same point values are applied. This kind of fighting is strictly improvisation and has basic, untrained movements.

Stealth: 2
You are good at being stealthy, escaping, disappearing, and remaining unnoticed so long as you are not Released or charging Reiatsu. A 1 means you're quiet and can sneak around well. A 2 means you can blend into shadows and crowds with ease and disappear without a trace. A 3 means you can be virtually unnoticeable and seemingly materialize out of the shadows. A 4 means you are completely unfindable unless you Release or charge Reiatsu. You cannot use Stealth randomly. You must be able to hide within reason. If those with high ES wish to detect you, they must have the appropriate Skills needed to do so.

Acting: 2
You can act or lie very well. You can fool others either through pretending to be something or someone else, or even alter your tone. A liar can be convincing. A 1 means they are on par with a movie actor. A 2 means their lies are highly believable. A 3 means they are almost completely believable without much issue or doubt. Anyone can see through someone with up to a 3 in Acting so long as they have a 4 in Analyzing. If you have a 4 in Acting, a 4 in Analyzing will not help you unless you have at least a 1 in Focused Eye.

Strength of Will: 2
This is used to resist giving in. You can overpower illusions, drugs, and overcome aversions to pain, hardship, trauma, and fear. You can basically just scream and power through to reach your goal. If you lose your will, the Willpower technique will no longer grant you eternal life. A 1 allows you to resist temptations. A 2 means you can resist drug and alcohol effects and overcome mild pain. A 3 means you can resist torture and power through pain. You will never age or lose your will. A 4 means you become somewhat of a mindless person who ignores everything around them if it means accomplishing their goal, but you will suffer from your wounds afterwards.

Damage Recovery: 2
You will be able to recover from pain, wounds, and damage more easily. You heal faster and regain composure more quickly, and your overall resilience is higher. A 1 means you can recover from minor damages faster. A 2 means you can recover from mild damage, such as gashes and stab wounds, more quickly. A 3 means you can heal from deep cuts and gashes more quickly and recover from minor bodily trauma. A 4 means you can recover from extreme damages (not including limb loss) quickly and push through the pain.

A 1 means you have the skills of an athlete. A 2 means you have the skills of an effortless Olympian. A 3 means you can use these skills in battle rather diversely. A 4 means you can use them in battle without trouble and can intertwine these skills with your fighting abilities.

[Teresa]

Wandering throughout the white desert was something that Teresa never liked, even now when she’d been brought in as a warrior of Las Noches, this place was an endless void of shit. Nothing here tasted acceptable, nothing here peaked her appetite, nothing here was of interest to the Hollow. This was the world of her kind and yet despite believing that it should be a shiny jewel to show the strength of them all, it was a barren endless landscape with the only shift in appearance playing host to a dune or a forest of bone trees.

She’d lost to Maria, been seen by Kouhai and now joined that section of existence all within a few days. Maria possessed power that Teresa couldn’t overwhelm nor outsmart at the moment. She had to keep evolving which despite her hatred for this barren landscape was why she’d come out here again. In the past she’d only been here after receiving some kind of injury that would take some time to mend. At the moment though she wasn’t certain whether or not Maria would approve of her leaving for the Human World.

Although she loathed the taste, texture and sensation of eating her own kind, they had a tendency to be some of the stronger souls she’s devoured. Ursa in particular was one of her newly acquired souls, a servant that she could easily say wasn’t just one of her strongest, but her favorite as well. The four strongest souls she’d devoured, in fact she realized as she walked the height of a dune, were all either Hollows or Arrancar. Perhaps she had to stomach the grotesqueness in order to push on into usefulness.

Teresa wasn’t the best at sensing reiatsu in fact she was awful at it, she could still tell there was a fight happening nearby. A fight between entities that were strong enough to consider for servatitude, Teresa was ready to intervene so that she could devour both of them. Her chances of succeeding in accomplishing that goal skydived right away when the sand a few feet in front of her erupted. Nothing coming up from below instead dropping down on the sand with such an impact that Teresa felt a wave of air wash over the area.

A cloud of sand was all Teresa could see for several seconds and then began the glow of dark green reiatsu. What was coming next was unmistaken with the low hum as a cero rushed right towards her. Teresa hadn’t really gotten used to having her right arm once again, but raised it all the same, extending it out so that when the cero hit her hand she compressed it down utilizing Redirection. The dark green cero was now back to being a small orb now held in Teresa’s right hand.

“Your power is acceptable, show me more.”

Teresa squeezed the cero crushing it to the point it dissipated into the surrounding air after a moment. The sand cloud was doing the same now revealing the Hollow that floated up off the sand staring at Teresa. All it could do though was stare, a massive floating eye of white bone. A yellow iris with a slanted vertical pupil. One of the strangest Hollows that Teresa had ever seen who blinked slowly and then when its eye opened again another cero was fired off instantly.

This cero though was a large wave of reiatsu like the typical, no it was a long thin dark green, a needle. A needle that moved at the speed of a normal cero, but was surprising to Teresa enough that she didn’t even realize her right arm had been pierced. The harsh burning sensation in her bicep was enough that Teresa had to turn her head and see the needle the length of a lance right through her arm. This was a cero that Teresa hadn’t ever seen before and one she’d have to watch out for in the future.

Holding out her left hand Teresa channels her reiatsu for a moment firing off a bala right at the eye Hollow. Right away though she could see her golden bala clash against a dark green one. This Hollow had just countered her attack with the very same. Ready to attack once again Teresa began to channel her reiatsu and yet just like that a large dark green bird that looked like a hawk was right on her. Above her in the air dive bombing her. Teresa moved backwards, bursting reiatsu from the bottom of her feet in order to avoid the attack.

It mattered little though as the bird didn’t dissipate nor explode, instead turning and moving at her once again. “Cut them apart!” Teresa shouts as she waves her left arm downward firing off a cero while commanding it. Instead of being fired off as a wave of reiatsu the cero changed into a golden vertical blade that cut through the green bird destroying it immediately. The cero blade continued towards the eye Hollow ready to cut it down the middle. Just like Teresa had done though, the Hollow used lunar step from the tentacles that extended off its sphere body.

Getting out of the way was easy enough and now Teresa watched as the eight different tentacles that came off of its sphere body all moved and then stopped pointing at her. “Protect me.” Teresa says as she fires off another cero from her left hand that immediately turns into a golden wall between herself and the other Hollow. Right away she could see bala after bala slamming into her cero wall. She had to do something to defeat this Hollow in a single blow without destroying its body completely. It was strong enough that it would make a good servant.

“Remove its tentacles.”

Teresa stated this time with more contempt as she raised both her hands to the sides of her golden wall. Channeling her reiatsu for another moment as her wall begins to break down she begins firing off bala after bala utilizing Bala Bombarda. Twenty five golden orbs fired from her hands coursing through the air towards the enemy. One after another almost all of the golden bala would slam against a tentacle exploding slightly. After a few moments Teresa could see her enemy floating still, but leaking enough blood from its missing appendages that she didn’t think it would survive a full minute.

Just like that though the Hollow surrounded itself in its dark green reiatsu and began rocketing at her like a projectile. Another technique that Teresa hadn’t seen before that was enabling this Hollow to turn itself into a threat directly. Teresa though would once again rely on Lunar Step in order to propel herself up off the sand into the air to get out of her foe’s way. Immediately she began channeling her reiatsu to the tips of her left fingers. Swinging her hand downwards she’d see the Eye flying up at her as she discharges her cero drill.

Piercing through his cero that surrounded his body was all Teresa needed to see to know her victory was assured. Her golden drill managed to not just punch through the opposing force, but then the body of the Hollow itself. A projectile sent right through the massive eye, killing her foe for certain. Teresa at this point wasn’t even thinking about the other two signatures she’d been feeling, now on the sand forcing herself to swallow down the flesh of the servant she was eager to obtain while doing her best not to vomit the foul taste of spoiled fish.

(1) The rhythmic staccato of keyboards danced upon Maria's eardrums as she reclined in the plush, overstuffed chair that dominated the information center of her sprawling palace. A cadre of Arrancar, her hand-picked scientific minds, were engrossed in their task: refining the intricate sensor network Kitai had masterfully embedded within the palace walls. It was no small feat, given Las Noches' technological disparity compared to the Soul Society.

(2) While they were steadily narrowing the gap, it was a relentless race against time that Maria was determined to keep hidden from their adversaries. Her neon green hair, a stark contrast against the sterile white of the room, seemed to absorb the low hum of machinery as she slowly opened her eyes. A symphony of beeps and chirps erupted from the central console, its vast, obsidian screen ablaze with countless red dots, punctuated by a handful of ominous purple ones.

(3) From countless hours of observation and covert listening to her engineers' hushed conversations, Maria had deduced that the red dots represented ordinary Hollows, while the purple ones marked entities affiliated with Las Noches. Yet, it was two particular purple specks that captured her attention. One darted across the screen with frenetic energy, while the other pulsed rhythmically, as if a living organism.

(4) The latter's fluctuating size hinted at a rapid expenditure of Reiatsu. "Interesting," she murmured, a hint of intrigue coloring her voice. Leaning forward, she propped her feet on the console and pointed to the screen. "Identify those two dots in the upper right quadrant." A collective murmur rippled through the room as her 'geek squad' scrambled to comply.

(5) Precious seconds ticked by as they delved into their databases. "One is Collina, a member of the Exequias," a voice reported, cutting through the tension. "The other is Tere-..." He trailed off, his brow furrowed in concentration. Maria's patience was wearing thin. She pinched the bridge of her nose, a silent plea for haste.

(6) "I know who the second one is," she interrupted, her voice laced with irritation. "And I have no idea what she's doing out there instead of honing her skills." Rising from her chair, she felt the cool, smooth surface of the ivory tiles beneath her feet. "As for Collina their negligence of thier duties has left me picking up the slack. I'm going to retrieve them personally. Log my departure and open the west gate." With that, she turned and strode out of the room, her footsteps echoing in the silent chamber.

(7) The desert wind whipped through her hair as she sprinted across the barren expanse of Hueco Mundo. Her Reiatsu was carefully suppressed, a silent predator stalking its prey. The identities of the two intruders remained a mystery, but their presence was a catalyst, igniting a fierce determination within her. For now, she relished the raw power coursing through her veins and the exhilarating sensation of freedom.

4-Sonido Mastery-This is how well you move at high speeds. Anyone can master a step tech but maria has taken it a step further being able to achieve near impossible feats with her sonido's. With a 1 Practitioners of the technique can maintain fast movements for a short period of time, by seemingly taking only a few steps to bridge what would normally be a large distances. Those who are practitioners commonly use their knowledge of Hohō while engaging in combat to close the space between combatants. Practitioners who maintain these high speeds for too long tend to become winded. With a 2 the user of the technique are considerably fast, and can maintain high speed movements for extended periods of time. While not as fast as a master, they can keep up quite effectively. Some holding the title are faster than others, but, nonetheless, their application of the technique is highly advanced. With a 3 one would be considered a master of sonido ,masters are capable of maintaining high speed movements for extended periods of time while using the least amount of steps to achieve those movements. Masters are capable of using advanced steps, which are considerably harder to initiate. A master can possibly create new techniques but it is most likely a rare occurrence. With a 4 in the usage of sonido they are now able to maintain Ludacris speeds and travel astonishing distances most if not all would think to be impossible through the use of a single step , possibly having a bevy of unique step techs to themselves.

3-Pain Tolerance-This is how well you tolerate pain. It only applies to physical pain, not emotional. A 1 means you can tolerate it enough to keep fighting despite minor wounds like cuts or second degree burns. With a three maria can take third degree burns and basic slash wounds and fight through with them. She can ignore the pain of many attacks completely, including strong ones. She can even resist severe torture methods, but extreme ones will break this Skill.

3-Str. Of Will- This is used to resist giving in. You can overpower illusions, drugs, and overcome aversions to pain, hardship, trauma, and fear. You can basically just scream and power through to reach your goal. If you lose your will, the Willpower technique will no longer grant you eternal life. Maria herself poses a 3 in this skill. She is capable of resisting simple baser temptations as well as resist torture and power through pain.

3-Calm Mind-You are extremely good at calming yourself in battle. Anyone with the right personality can be calm and level-headed under pressure, but this Skill allows you to focus at inhuman levels to block out distractions entirely. They can even resist illusions to some degree and calm the agony that would come with a large stimulus from having high Senses. with a three they are within the following tiers of calm mind she can block out most ambient noises and can resist distractions along with anxiety & resist weak(er) illusions.

3-Spatha's- Those who have a 1 are those who specialize in the use of sword & blades during combat. Someone of this level has to have basic skills in swordsmanship as well. All seated officers of the Gotei 13 , and your average numeros have to possess, at the very least, this level of skill with a blade. With a 2 they could be considered equivocal skill to an indeterminate blade wielder. With a 3 put them on the same ground as expert world class swordsman, capable of pulling off a few amazing feats & tricks but nothing outside the realm of impossibility.

3-Battle Analysis-This is used to analyze combat specifics. When someone has this Skill, they can quickly evaluate what is happening and respond accordingly. This includes gauging what kind of technique was used and how to best avoid it logically. Maria has a basic understanding of most standard techniques , while having a good grasp on battle analytics and can hold her own exceptionally well. with a 3 this means she is familiar with virtually any technique.

3-Cero Mastery- This is how well the practioner can use & manipulate ceros. When someone has this skill they can use cero in creative and unexpected ways pushing the simple technique to it's limits. A 1 means they can now slightly alter cero in subtle ways an example being dilating the size of the beam by pinching it to avoid collateral , or flaring to catch foes in the blast. A 2 in the skill shows that this individual has mastered the flow of thier riatsu having a quicker charge time and may now charge cero's anywhere on thier body , thus elimating the need for a gesture while charging and firing a cero which may be a suprise to some foes. with A 3 in this skill one could be considered a true master of cero now being able to create unorthodox and unique ceros giving them unique shapes and functions that push the limits of what could be considered possible for cero.

{Actions Taken}

Located and Heading twoard the rampage Zone

[Colina Conejita]

As Colina finished her meal of the Arrancar she looked about, hearing the whistle of the winds of Hueco Mundo pushing the sands about her. She also felt the energies from before moving and maneuvering about in response to not only herself but another party entering the fray. The energy of this hollow was significantly larger and more refined than her own, but she had a challenging time figuring out where exactly it was coming from due to her lack of spiritual sense. She huffed a bit and relaxed, noticing that most signatures broke off from her trail to head in the direction of the energy of the newcomer who had wiped a hollow off the board. But one still headed towards Colina’s position, making her remain cautious but still trying to regain some stamina.

While it approached, Colina began digging holes around her current position, attempting to make a few burrows and lay a trap for any that approached her, and it seemed to be paying off. As she was finishing her fourth hole, she sensed the energy of the Arrancar heading in her direction and decided to duck down deep into the hole. She held her breath as the Arrancar went over to one of the other holes and began inspecting it. “Dumb bitch.... Killed Harlock and dug graves for the rest of us? Must not be good at counting. Gonna need dig at least three more holes if she plans on getting all of us. Heh.” The Arrancar kicked some of the sand into the hole he inspected as Colina poked her head up slowly to observe him.

Colina watched the Arrancar as he began looking at the other holes around him, trying to sense her spiritual presence but finding it very difficult. She was holding not only her breath, but her spiritual sense from leaking out around her. She needed to maintain the element of surprise for this one, seeing his body and seeing the danger he obviously presented. He was a large, bulky and snake-like being of an Arrancar. He even had snake fangs for a mask over his mouth that wrapped around to the back of his head, looking like a cobra’s hood. The sword on his hip was curved into an almost complete circle of a blade with a standard zanpakutou handle. Colina looked confused at his weapon, seeing it as completely useless but did not discount the possible danger the blade held.

As he turned his back on her location to inspect the third hole, Colina smirked and began to lift herself out of her hole, carefully pulling her weight up and through the sand with her claws in order to remain quiet. She gently wiggled through the sand as she climbed, letting the sand flow around her in a near silent stream into the hole she emerged from. And when she finally reached purchase, she sprang forward. Her right hand reached out as she did, speeding forth and gripping onto the Arrancar’s sheathe and ripping it from his white robe. The Arrancar turned in shock, gripping for where the handle of his blade had been and finding only air to grab onto. And as Colina ripped the sword from his waist, she released it thus allowing it to fly through the pitch black sky and disappear from their sight.

The Arrancar growled and raised his free hand before quickly swinging it to try and back hand Colina across the jaw in retaliation. But where her Jaw had been the Arrancar once again only found air to swing his arm through. Colina had quickly surmised the attack’s intent and ducked beneath his swing, leaving herself crouched low with her legs bound up and ready to spring out. As she lowered herself rapidly, she also bent her arms at the elbows while splaying out her claws to make the attack range of her next movements wider and more dangerous for the Arrancar currently towering over her. She needed to be sure that he couldn’t just simply step out of her way, taking a second to make sure he wasn’t fully on balance. She saw his standing slipped as he had expected to come in contact with her and as he over extended she saw her opportunity shining like a beacon. Up until this moment evading and disarming was all she could do. The time to attack was now.

Colina sprung from the sands her feet her printed in, leaving two large holes and three swipes per foot dug deep from her feet’s claws. She focused all of her leg’s power into extending with force and speed while extending her arms upwards and over her head. Colina’s claws touched the Arrancar’s hierro, grinding into it at first but as they reached his naval she felt the difference between steel and flesh. Her claws found purchase within the Arrancar’s guts as she rended through his innards and separated flesh from organs and allowing the large intestine to fall into the sand. The Arrancar screamed out and tried to swipe with his arm again and connected with Colina’s left arm, knocking her back and away from himself. But the damage was done. He stood amongst the sand turning crimson at his feet with his blood. It soaked into the particles quite well and Colina licked at some of the splatter that ended up on her mask.

Without another moment to spare, Colina darted back towards the Arrancar, attempting to capitalise on the situation at hand. The Arrancar was feeling denfensless and began turning about while gripping at his stomach with his left hand. He needed to find his sword and attempted to run off to the right of his current position while focusing his mind in order to feel for it with his spiritual sense. But Colina was too fast for him to evade and simply found himself mid stride in his second to third step being charged into. As he was thrown off of his balance he began to roll through the sand and fumbled for a hold in the sand. As he rolled he could hear Colina turning through the sifting sand and relaunching another charge at him.

With the Arrancar lying on the ground, Colina launched into the air after skidding to a stop and turning through the sand. She needed to lose his attention in order to surprise him again and losing the sense of sound was just enough. The Arrancar began looking around wildly, his eyes becoming wide and clenching his teeth in frustration. ‘Where the hell is she? She was just running at m-’ As the thoughts left his mind, the Arrancar felt Colina’s feet stomping into his stomach from above colliding into his opens wounds. His tongue lolled out of his head as he felt the pulling of his flesh ripping the wounds open wider and fully exposing his stomach cavity to the world. He even felt the chill of the air whooshing into his body with each kick Colina delivered. Her claws even found purchase against his intestines, gripping them with each kick and pulling them out into the cold air.

Colina finished her onslaught with a solid double kick, slamming both legs simultaneously into his guts. She felt the crunch of his ribs as her toes collided with them, crushing them into bite sized bits and leaving them sharp fragments, threatening to continue cutting through his own body with all future movement. Colina leaned down, squatting over his bloody mess of a body as she did, and met the Arrancar face to face. She looked him over, seeing his arms and legs splayed out and weakly twitching against the sand every few moments. The spirit had definitely been driven from his mind and body with her most recent attacks, leaving him a mindless mess in the cold, white sands. She used her right claw to lift up his face while studying him over and whispered to him, “I’ll get right on those graves for ya.... Buddy boy.”

Colina gripped her claws around the Arrancar’s head and his voice began straining in a groan as his neck became tauter. With each moment the pull of her claw became stronger and pulled harder, threatening to split the skin of his neck. And split it began to, stretching at first like a plastic becoming thinner and thinner until finally an edge found the weakness too much to bear. The splitting caused the Arrancar to scream out in pain, howling and trying to maneuver his head out of Colina’s grasp. It was a fruitless endeavor and Colina raised her other claw slowly to the other side of the Arrancar’s head. As she did, he bit down on her exposed thumb claw, trying to dissuade her from completing her task. However, it only spurred her on, making her give a yowl as she gave a tight and powerful yank. Alleviating the Arrancar’s head from his body, Colina felt his jaw go slack from her thumb and tossed it aside after getting loose. And began to devour.

Skills

Battle Analysis: 2
This is used to analyze combat specifics. When someone has this Skill, they can quickly evaluate what is happening and respond accordingly. This includes gauging what kind of technique was used and how to best avoid it logically. A 1 means you're standard. A 2 means you have a good grasp on battle analytics and can hold your own exceptionally well. A 3 means you are familiar with virtually any technique. A 4 means you are familiar with every technique and can come up with unique ways to avoid them, so long as your Stats allow for it.

Lack of Fear: 2
Your character can either ignore fear or does not feel it at all depending on how many points are given. A 1 means you can ignore things that are mildly scary, like thriller movies. A 2 means you may be able to resist fear, but if you are exposed to it repeatedly, it may overwhelm you. A 3 means you can completely ignore any fears, including your own. A 4 means you feel no fear at all, no matter what. This can be used in tandem with Light Aura to make you unquestionably immune.

Street Fighting: 2
This works in the same way that Weapons and Martial Arts do. It does not need any specification since it is its own subject. The same point values are applied. This kind of fighting is strictly improvisation and has basic, untrained movements.

Stealth: 2
You are good at being stealthy, escaping, disappearing, and remaining unnoticed so long as you are not Released or charging Reiatsu. A 1 means you're quiet and can sneak around well. A 2 means you can blend into shadows and crowds with ease and disappear without a trace. A 3 means you can be virtually unnoticeable and seemingly materialize out of the shadows. A 4 means you are completely unfindable unless you Release or charge Reiatsu. You cannot use Stealth randomly. You must be able to hide within reason. If those with high ES wish to detect you, they must have the appropriate Skills needed to do so.

Acting: 2
You can act or lie very well. You can fool others either through pretending to be something or someone else, or even alter your tone. A liar can be convincing. A 1 means they are on par with a movie actor. A 2 means their lies are highly believable. A 3 means they are almost completely believable without much issue or doubt. Anyone can see through someone with up to a 3 in Acting so long as they have a 4 in Analyzing. If you have a 4 in Acting, a 4 in Analyzing will not help you unless you have at least a 1 in Focused Eye.

Strength of Will: 2
This is used to resist giving in. You can overpower illusions, drugs, and overcome aversions to pain, hardship, trauma, and fear. You can basically just scream and power through to reach your goal. If you lose your will, the Willpower technique will no longer grant you eternal life. A 1 allows you to resist temptations. A 2 means you can resist drug and alcohol effects and overcome mild pain. A 3 means you can resist torture and power through pain. You will never age or lose your will. A 4 means you become somewhat of a mindless person who ignores everything around them if it means accomplishing their goal, but you will suffer from your wounds afterwards.

Damage Recovery: 2
You will be able to recover from pain, wounds, and damage more easily. You heal faster and regain composure more quickly, and your overall resilience is higher. A 1 means you can recover from minor damages faster. A 2 means you can recover from mild damage, such as gashes and stab wounds, more quickly. A 3 means you can heal from deep cuts and gashes more quickly and recover from minor bodily trauma. A 4 means you can recover from extreme damages (not including limb loss) quickly and push through the pain.

Acrobatics: 2
You are inherently good at acrobatics. You pick up the motions and are good at learning them quickly. You can also apply them to many different situations. A 1 means you have the skills of an athlete. A 2 means you have the skills of an effortless Olympian. A 3 means you can use these skills in battle rather diversely. A 4 means you can use them in battle without trouble and can intertwine these skills with your fighting abilities.

[Teresa]

Kneeling on the ground as she was, Teresa struggled with the flesh currently in her mouth. The blood had been one thing, it was like swallowing down hot rancid syrup. Something that Teresa absolutely hated, something that other Hollows did in order to gain strength. Teresa wasn’t like them though and that fact had been a constant since she’d gained freedom as a Hollow. The flesh of the eye Hollow after each bite was something that Teresa struggled not to chew. She did her best to just bite then swallow while doing what she could to keep her tongue from even making contact with the meal.

As always it was a fruitless endeavor and the struggle to hold down the body of her servant was something even harder for Teresa than securing the victory. This was why she preferred humans or Shinigami, the taste for them was actually good if not amazing. Hollows though it didn’t matter if they were strong like an Adhucha or just a basic beginner, they always tasted like rotting garbage swarmed with maggots. It was mainly due to this reason that Teresa didn’t pick up on anything happening around her, her mind to preoccupied with the grandiose mundane situation that only the shadow covering everything around her snapped her aware.

Turning her head and upper body from her kneeling position Teresa was able to look upwards to see that the shadow enveloping her now belonged to another Hollow. One of immense physical size, large enough that it dwarfed even the Gillian that she normally saw. Its body was so large that it might as well have been a building looking down at her tiny form. One Hollow had been enough for Teresa, that eye had shown her quite an array of techniques, some of which she didn’t know. This one though was going to give her something she didn’t have yet.

A servant that could bring down virtually any wall. It looked like a dinosaur standing on four legs like a canine yet possessing a crown on its head that seemed more like a shield. The mask of this Hollow like the rest of its body was massive and yet it wasn’t useless like the majority. It had two horns located vertically down the center of its face. Horns large enough that they could engorge buildings. A brief moment spent between the two Adhucha Hollows staring at one another and then just like that Teresa had to use the moon step once again.

Getting some distance away as the best course of action that Teresa could think of so fast. After using moon step twice one after the other she now had a hundred feet gained towards the left side of her enemy. This distance though let her get a better view of the enemy. Like Teresa this Hollow’s body was almost entirely white bone with no trace of fur or scales like so many others. The only difference happened to be that this Hollow had black markings all over its body. Holding out her right hand once again Teresa prepares to claim victory.

Channeling her reiatsu for only a moment Teresa would speak one command to the cero of gold. “Surround it.” A tactic that she employed quite often against those that relied on physical might. The burning nature of a cero enveloping her for normally burning them alive was no different than forcing them inside an oven. She watched now as her cero spread out and over in order to cover the massive hollow. What she saw though was her cero getting broken away with just a shake of the massive head. This Hollow possessed physical strength like Douzai.

She could of course summon Douzai in order for her servant to aid her in subjugating this Hollow, but Teresa had to build her own strength as well. Relying on her servants wouldn’t afford her the experience and training necessary to stand above Maria. Holding out her right hand ready to fire off a series of bala with the intention of crippling one of its eyes, Teresa would find herself knocked backwards off her feet onto the sand gasping for air. Happening all in just a moment the slender Hollow didn’t even realize this massive threat had unleashed a shockwave against the sands with a stomp.

Sending out a shockwave usually was very direct like punching the air. This massive Hollow had just sent one out across the sand like a wave in water. It wasn’t enough to kill Teresa, but knocking her off her feet and forcing the air from her lungs was an absolute. Now its massive head turned down and its mouth began to open. This Hollow was larger than all the others she’d seen, only Leviathan could match part of its size. This one though was stocky while her underground servant was slender for his height.

“Carry me away.”

Teresa spoke as a golden orb appeared in her left hand that immediately wrapped itself around her then fired off at an upward diagonal direction. The massive dinosaur Hollow unleashed a typical red cero from its mouth, one large enough that Teresa knew immediately she wouldn’t have been able to evade like normal. Using a cero to travel wasn’t unheard of although Teresa was certain there was a different method then what she’d just utilized. She slipped from her cero high in the air and would begin to fall right away.

Holding out her right hand she’d begin to fire off her bala with a single command for the many golden orbs. “Strike his eyes.” Just like that, one golden bala after another was fired from her fingertips. Traversing the distance between herself and the massive hollow only took her attacks a moment or two before impacting the eyelids. The Hollow began to scream in pain yet that was when Teresa made her first real mistake, confidence spreading across her face in the form of her cheshire smile. One that vanished as a cero seemed to just appear around the massive target then like that it came for her!

Teresa did her best to react, thrusting both her hands up in the air then utilizing Moon Step once again only now from her hands to send herself hurdling down to the sand in an instant. Alas it wasn’t going to be enough, Teresa realized this only after she’d acted on reflex and now opened her mouth. “Protect me!” She shouted as she unleashed a cero from her mouth, one of immense size in the shape of a sphere. One that was meant to soar high in the sky only to drop down on a foe. Now though it would envelop Teresa’s body and fight against the massive Hollow trying to trample over her.

A massive dust cloud was built up now, the endless desert had a large hole and carved a river of nothing from the impact. It’d take roughly two minutes for Teresa to get back up on her feet. This Hollow knew how to use its size, facing down this enemy was something different. Even Leviathan hadn’t put up this much of a problem and he could regenerate. This Hollow was sturdy above all else and now channeling her reiatsu to the tips of her fingers once again Teresa unleashed one of her strongest techniques.

The bala that she’d unleashed she could see now had done enough, the Hollow despite its size it seemed couldn’t see now. Its eyes blown from its skulls as green blood drained from the wounds. The Hollow now just continued to stomp one massive pillar of a leg after another sending out shockwave after shockwave. Teresa grinned knowing that unless it moved she was safe at a distance of two hundred feet. A swing of her right hand and off her attack went, a small beam with more power channeled throughout the most, one that would pierce right through the chest of her enemy.

Although her attack had the potency to harm the Hollow she could tell right away that it couldn’t cover enough of its body, the hole that she’d managed to make went all the way through, but it couldn’t even phase the Hollow. “I’ve no other choice then.” Teresa sighed knowing that she was pushing the limits of what she could do already. This Hollow was one that could handle pain and damage like it was nothing, so she had to unleash something it wouldn’t be able to shrug off.

It would take some time, but Maria would be able to see the result of the technique that Teresa had unleashed on her only a few days ago. While Maria had overwhelmed the technique with her own immense reiatsu the massive Hollow hadn’t. A massive pillar of golden reiatsu over a hundred feet in height that enveloped a large portion of the elephant like Hollow. The pillar would last for a few moments and then when it was done the Hollow collapsed. Maria would no doubt find Teresa leaning on the body eating mouthful after mouthful of her meal into her.

Once she came to hault she would look down on the battlefield using air ground , to pop a squat as it where. The two where far apart , but not so far apart that maria couldn't them from her high vantage point.

(2) Her sense's being what they where gave her a blood hound like nose , ears like a bat and eyes like a hawk. Using air ground , she would take a seat in the air and examine the two from above. On the left there was colina , one thing was certain despite her absentee nature she was lethally efficient in her dispatching of her foes. 'ten out of ten for exacution , but she's toying with her food to much' she would think as she turned her attention to teresa.

(3) Her fraccion was a site to behold , teresa's use of her powers had improved a good amount sadly she also was wasting time. 'why is it she toys with these pest's' she would think to herself pinching the bridge of her nose , one fraccion that leaves without permission and stand in exquias commander who goes rough.

4-Sonido Mastery-This is how well you move at high speeds. Anyone can master a step tech but maria has taken it a step further being able to achieve near impossible feats with her sonido's. With a 1 Practitioners of the technique can maintain fast movements for a short period of time, by seemingly taking only a few steps to bridge what would normally be a large distances. Those who are practitioners commonly use their knowledge of Hohō while engaging in combat to close the space between combatants. Practitioners who maintain these high speeds for too long tend to become winded. With a 2 the user of the technique are considerably fast, and can maintain high speed movements for extended periods of time. While not as fast as a master, they can keep up quite effectively. Some holding the title are faster than others, but, nonetheless, their application of the technique is highly advanced. With a 3 one would be considered a master of sonido ,masters are capable of maintaining high speed movements for extended periods of time while using the least amount of steps to achieve those movements. Masters are capable of using advanced steps, which are considerably harder to initiate. A master can possibly create new techniques but it is most likely a rare occurrence. With a 4 in the usage of sonido they are now able to maintain Ludacris speeds and travel astonishing distances most if not all would think to be impossible through the use of a single step , possibly having a bevy of unique step techs to themselves.

3-Pain Tolerance-This is how well you tolerate pain. It only applies to physical pain, not emotional. A 1 means you can tolerate it enough to keep fighting despite minor wounds like cuts or second degree burns. With a three maria can take third degree burns and basic slash wounds and fight through with them. She can ignore the pain of many attacks completely, including strong ones. She can even resist severe torture methods, but extreme ones will break this Skill.

3-Str. Of Will- This is used to resist giving in. You can overpower illusions, drugs, and overcome aversions to pain, hardship, trauma, and fear. You can basically just scream and power through to reach your goal. If you lose your will, the Willpower technique will no longer grant you eternal life. Maria herself poses a 3 in this skill. She is capable of resisting simple baser temptations as well as resist torture and power through pain.

3-Calm Mind-You are extremely good at calming yourself in battle. Anyone with the right personality can be calm and level-headed under pressure, but this Skill allows you to focus at inhuman levels to block out distractions entirely. They can even resist illusions to some degree and calm the agony that would come with a large stimulus from having high Senses. with a three they are within the following tiers of calm mind she can block out most ambient noises and can resist distractions along with anxiety & resist weak(er) illusions.

3-Spatha's- Those who have a 1 are those who specialize in the use of sword & blades during combat. Someone of this level has to have basic skills in swordsmanship as well. All seated officers of the Gotei 13 , and your average numeros have to possess, at the very least, this level of skill with a blade. With a 2 they could be considered equivocal skill to an indeterminate blade wielder. With a 3 put them on the same ground as expert world class swordsman, capable of pulling off a few amazing feats & tricks but nothing outside the realm of impossibility.

3-Battle Analysis-This is used to analyze combat specifics. When someone has this Skill, they can quickly evaluate what is happening and respond accordingly. This includes gauging what kind of technique was used and how to best avoid it logically. Maria has a basic understanding of most standard techniques , while having a good grasp on battle analytics and can hold her own exceptionally well. with a 3 this means she is familiar with virtually any technique.

3-Cero Mastery- This is how well the practioner can use & manipulate ceros. When someone has this skill they can use cero in creative and unexpected ways pushing the simple technique to it's limits. A 1 means they can now slightly alter cero in subtle ways an example being dilating the size of the beam by pinching it to avoid collateral , or flaring to catch foes in the blast. A 2 in the skill shows that this individual has mastered the flow of thier riatsu having a quicker charge time and may now charge cero's anywhere on thier body , thus elimating the need for a gesture while charging and firing a cero which may be a suprise to some foes. with A 3 in this skill one could be considered a true master of cero now being able to create unorthodox and unique ceros giving them unique shapes and functions that push the limits of what could be considered possible for cero.

[Colina Conejita]

Colina huffed heavily, her breaths escaping from her as her eyes darted around. She could feel the presence of others, two of extreme power nearby and five still traveling towards her from where the other two Arrancar had come from. She then felt the group of five split, the two strongest heading towards the stronger of the two energy signatures that had not been a part of the first group. The three that still maintained their heading approached Colina and she could see why they were such a threat. The one of the left was a bulbous blob of a man, carrying two large battle axes, one hefted onto each of his shoulders and a gut protruding so far out she thought he might burst at any moment. His hollow hole was directly where his belly button should have been, going straight through him. His green curly hair and large grin with some hollow meat still in it made her almost feel like gagging.

The Arrancar in the middle of the two newcomers was a silent and thin creature, bony to such a degree Colina thought he might blow away with the howling wind around them. He sported two five foot long blades on each arm, seeming strapped to them beneath his skin. He had wavy purple hair, bound into a ponytail but evident in it’s shape as it tapered from where the cord held it all together. And his eye was cold, having only one visible and a hollow hole through the right side of his face. He wore a frown as he looked about him and sighed, inspecting the bloody spots where his allies had been slaughtered. “I guess they’re not getting up any time soon....”

The last one, the Arrancar on the right of the pair, was a large and muscular looking man, standing at approximately eight feet tall and carrying a ball and chain. The Ball of his weapon was covered in pine needles of steel, almost imperceptible however the mass amount of them gave them away. It looked like a natural shadow over the ball, just barely visible to the eye because of their multitude. Colina wondered if she would be hurt by this weapon, but it was obvious that the ball might even tear flesh just from being pulled across her skin. His skin was so tan, Colina knew she would look like the moon against a summer sky if she stood in front of him and wondered how much time he might be spending in Las Noches to be enjoying that much sunlight.

The first to make a move towards Colina was the middle Arrancar, the impossibly thin dual bladed opponent. He gripped his knuckles tight as he ran forward, hoping to catch Colina off guard with his speed. However, he was painfully slower than the other Arrancar who had already come before him. Colina could read his moves with ease as he came running in, his feet drawing up the sand with each trudging, hefting movement he made. He was obviously going to come in and skid low, trying to undercut Colina by the legs and keep her preoccupied, but she had other plans for him.

Colina ran forward, taking leaps rather than running normally. She timed it, focusing on his movements as he went towards her with his brazen silent bravado. She eventually lifted herself over her opponent, moving in sync with him and dodging his left sword arm entirely as he swung at the empty air of where he had surmised she would have been. And as she hit the sand, she turned and clawed at his right arm, ripping it at the elbow and leaving it limply hanging by a few threads of flesh. Her claw had dug deep into him, rending flesh and bone apart to make his limb into two bisected hunks of meat that were useless to him. That was when Colina heard the rumbling movement coming in from behind her where the other two Arrancar were lying in wait.

The rumbling was being generated from the largest of the three Arrancar, the bulbous mass of fat rolling down the dune of sand towards her. She turned and observed him, quickly dodging to the right and just narrowly escaping one of his broad axes. He was holding them in such a way that as he rolled they became two large combine blades, swiftly cutting into the sand and leaving almost no trace. They were certainly sharp and dangerous to the touch. Colina knew she needed to fear this Arrancar despite his slow and massive body. He could build up the momentum to become a wrecking ball of destruction and that left Colina knowing that she didn’t want to get between him and a hard place.

While she was in combat with the other two, the third remained still, watching and waiting. Colina was too busy to focus but she figured he might just be waiting for an opening in her defenses. He might be just waiting for her to slow down or be knocked off balance and that would spell the end of her. These two were his entourage, his enforcers of calamity on the battle ground. He might be the madman behind everything and Colina wanted a piece of him the most if it were true. She thought on this in the back of her mind as she moved to continue intercepting the wounded Arrancar as he stood in the sand, gripping his hewn arm and cursing her name.

Colina turned on him at that moment, focusing on the wounded Arrancar before sprinting in quickly. As she did, she saw him shift his stance, taking on that of a polearms man awaiting the charge of a mounted unit. She knew that his left arm could skewer her if she simply moved in with no regard for her own safety and so she took a quick slide, pushing her legs into the sand and losing her traction. As she did, the wounded Arrancar attempted to shift again but he wasn’t quick enough for her liking. Her body slipped through the sand with silence and underneath his blade.

While sliding through the sand Colina lifted both of her claws over her chest, forming an x shape as she gripped herself tight. Her back became flat against the ground and she roared as she lashed out with both claws, sliding between the Arrancar’s legs. And as her claws were unleashed, they tore through his leg and calf muscles, tearing them apart and letting blood spurt violently around and onto her. Her claws were wetted with his blood as he screamed out, his sword burying into the sand in front of him to keep him standing as he lost control of his legs, the power flooding from them as his muscles were left in ribbons.

Colina finished her slide just behind him and quickly stood, raising up her right arm and making eye contact with the Arrancar still standing aside and watching her. She spat at the ground as she quickly slashed through the wounded Arrancar’s neck, letting his head topple into the sand lifelessly and with small bounces. The rest of his body crumpled afterwards and she broke eye contact, turning to face another sound of rumbling approaching from behind her current position. It wasn’t too hard to figure out what was coming next, But Colina knew that she had to figure out what to do about this mass of hollow blubber that had ascended from squishing her like a pancake and then cutting her into bite sized pieces.

Colina spun about, turning to face her opponent as it rumbled and tumbled at her with ferocity and built-up speed from the massive weight’s momentum. This Arrancar wasn’t going to make it easy, that was for sure in Colina’s mind. She saw as the sand tumbled in large waves behind him, flinging up in large chunks from his legs rolling into the ground and kicking up the dirt. But she failed to see his head poking out, meaning he wasn’t able to see her with his movements and might have been using his energy sense to track her. Colina grinned to herself and dashed to the left, reaching out with her right arm as she did. As the Arrancar passed she expected to cut him deep, but instead she felt her claws pang off of his body and buck her, causing her center of gravity to shift in an uncomfortable manner. She teetered for a moment as her arm flung back and she felt a flash of energy.

This was the moment that the third Arrancar had been waiting for, lifting his muscular arm swiftly and letting his weapon fly, the chain of it seeming to extend as the ball of metal soared through the air. It connected with Colina’s side, her body feeling the pricks of the needles covering the ball. The Arrancar smiled and yanked back, the chain suddenly shortening and becoming taut and pulled with his might. That was when Colina felt that the needles were not tipped straight but instead with hooks that caught against her flesh. As it pulled, it ripped a chunk out of her side and spilled her blood onto the battlefield, causing Colina to howl in pain as it did. She gripped her side, the hole having not been much as the ball of the weapon was only the size of a fist, but it left a powerful effect for certain.

Colina felt the rumbling again as she was roiling in her agony, turning to face it once more and growling in anger. It was unfortunate that she had been caught off guard but it was most assuredly the roly poly of an Arrancar’s fault that it even happened in the first place. She had to come up with a way of getting passed his defensive shell, his hierro too much for her to currently handle with ease. But there were other options at hand for her to take advantage of. Colina turned and waited, watching the ball of fat rolling at her, trying to notice when his head might be visible. And when she saw it, it made her gasp a bit in exasperation. The head only poke out right before he reached her, as if to confirm her presence, before shuttling back inside.

Colina leapt out of the way once more as he attempted to crush her, her side burning as she did and spurting a bit of blood from the wound. It was a searing pain that flooded her mind temporarily and with sand being kicked around she certainly felt particles entering the wound. Colina quickly scooped up some of the sand into her palm and stuffed it into her wind, howling in pain and rolling over as she finished her leap. This would be to compact the wound, clot it with material and keep it from leaking more of her blood. It was a simple stop gap but an effective one for now. Colina turned her attention to the Arrancar who inflicted the wound, but he remained stoic again, waiting patiently for another moment to strike her.

Colina noticed that this time he was aligned with the ball of fat, just behind him and slowly concealed by the approaching mass rolling at her. She knew this would be a decisive moment for if she could strike at the right time, right now, then she could avoid direct reprisal from the Arrancar lying in wait for an opening. It was a stroke of luck and she grinned as she readied her claws. She could tell that was fully concealed now from the eyes of the Muscular Arrancar because she could not see him beyond the ball of fat that was approaching her steadily, picking up speed as it went. She huffed a bit in exhaustion but remained still, planting her feet and watching.

The ball lumbered forward, picking up speed more and more as it approached her and she could sense the anticipation in the air. Her fingers twitched with excitement as she formulated the plan in her head. She needed to wait for the moment just before they would collide. Then, she could leap at him and take him out by stabbing his eyes out and ripping through him like a big ball of meat. During this, she’d probably have nothing to fear from the Arrancar waiting to fight her. She’d just have to escape some other way than towards him. ‘If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be able to finish all of this soon...’

Colina took a deep breath to calm herself, the ball of fat almost at the point she needed it to reach. Her nerves needed to be cool, her body lax with exception of her legs. The muscles within her legs were tight with anticipation, waiting to unleash her strength and leap on the enemy with ferocity. Her claws and arms hung loose however, as if giving a show of letting go of the fight entirely. She felt the rumbling in the sand shifting around her and she let her head slowly droop a bit, but her eyes remained trained on the ball of fat accelerating it’s pace. The time was upon her and just as it made one more rotation, she saw the head beginning to peak out of the shell.

Colina roared and sprung to life, her legs launching her with speed and strength, sending her flying towards the ball of fat. She dove just between the two axes, bypassing the threat they posed and gripped her claws against the head of the Arrancar. She felt him pull, attempting to elude her attack and escape back within his folds to defend himself. But she wouldn’t allow it, couldn’t allow it. As the rotation continued forward, concealing her body from the Muscular Arrancar behind the fat bastard, Colina dug the claws that were thumbs into the eye sockets of the Arrancar, causing him to howl and scream in pain. She did not care, instead continuing her assault on him by burrowing her claws in deep and eliminating his brain.

The Ball began to slow in momentum and as she was buried beneath his body, the brain damaged Arrancar twitched and seemed to unconsciously be trying to continue moving against her. She grinned and opened her maw, tearing and clawing a hole in his torso from the neck up at first with her claws. She pulled at the head with her claws, separating the head and neck before burrowing deep and chewing through muscle and bone. She swam through the viscera and lapped at the blood as she went, letting it flow downwards and into the sand that now covered her entrance. She took a moment inside, knowing that his body, the shell of it anyway, currently protected her from the reprisal of the Arrancar outside. She could even hear something battering against the body from the outside.

Unseen by Colina, the Arrancar outside begin wildly slamming his weapon into the side of his dead ally. He saw what she did and was too late to stop it. He had a deep frown of frustration on his face and was baring his teeth in anger. He swung his weapon arm with rage, fueled by the disaster of an attack plan they had launched against her. He thought that perhaps he should have been more aggressive in his attacks on the Rabbit Hollow, perhaps he should have torn her apart the moment they arrived and taken the initiative. But it was too late and so he focused on chipping away at his ally’s dead body.

With each attack with his weapon he could feel a chunk, small chunks sure, but chunks none the less be pulled off of the body. He growled as he began to finally see blood, frustrated by the slow pace that he was forced to take in trying to remove this shell from his target. How dare she use his ally’s body in such a despicable way? When he finally got through the shell of hierro, he grinned and ran forward, pulling his weapon by the chain to gain momentum and strength. He then roared and flung the ball and chain at the body, slamming it inside and causing the body to split open wide. But he felt nothing connect to the ball other than the wet chunks of viscera inside of the body.

The Muscular Arrancar howled in frustration, flinging his weapon out of the empty shell and splitting in two pieces as if an egg cracked in half. There was noone inside, causing him to howl more in anger and stomp over to the remains of his ally, searching around it. And then he saw a divot beneath the space between the two halves. He began to wildly look around at the ground, trying to pinpoint Colina’s current location. Colina was underground, digging through the sand and focusing on moving slowly while suppressing her spiritual pressure. She wanted to be as unseen as possible, especially in her current condition. But she could only move so much before it began to give her away.

As Colina reached behind the Muscular Arrancar’s position, she began to slowly use her claws to dig upwards and try to evenly part the sand ahead of her. She was beginning to feel the effects of suffocation as well, the darkness making her feel claustrophobic. Her heart was racing and she needed to get out again soon. But she knew what was also waiting for her above the sand as well. The Muscular Arrancar roared and began stomping on the ground, shifting the sand a bit with the weight of him and that’s when it happened. He began to notice the little tunnel’s path that had caved in.

It swirled from where the body of his ally was, circling farther from him and then back around. He followed it with his eyes, tracing it with his eyes and following where it led. He became slightly confused and absently following it as it went, not really paying as much attention as he should have to where it would eventually lead. When he was stomping on the ground however, that had signaled that Colina needed to move. She burrowed with speed, digging her way up and trying desperately to move quickly. And when she saw the light of the moon, she smiled menacingly and sprang from the hole in the ground.

When Colina reached the air, she swiped at the Muscular Arrancar’s back with her left claw, cutting him deeply in his lower back on his right side. He howled in pain, turning to face her and went to return a blow against her himself, but where he had muscle and strength, he lacked speed. Colina ducked his punch and returned with an upper cut, clawing into his stomach and burying her claws in deep. She knew he had a weapon with reach but up close, it didn’t seem to be an effective weapon. That was why he didn’t charge in like the others, he needed to find moments to attack. And although his attack was effective, it wasn’t plausible without someone else keeping his target busy.

Colina roared and pushed against him, leaning into his body with her strength and felt him hurl up blood onto her body. She bent her head into his neck and began biting into his flesh, her teeth finding purchase with ease. He didn’t have the same thick skin as his friend and was thus just more meat to consume. Colina ripped into his neck further, causing a fountain of blood to explode and the Muscular Arrancar grunted in pain. He released his weapon from his hand and began slamming punches into her sides violently, attempting to get her to release him. When Colina was hit, she did just that, letting go of his neck and pulling her claw from his stomach, letting both bleed freely and turn the sand beneath his feet into crimson puddles.

Colina stood before him, huffing as she watched him trying to cover his neck with one hand and his stomach with the other. He fell to a knee and coughed as he watched her closely, trying to figure out what she was doing. But Colina just watched, waiting to see him die slowly before her. She needed to see the light leave his eyes and she wanted him to not have the satisfaction of her words. She wouldn’t plea for a reason to kill Caballaro, wouldn’t beg for satisfaction in an answer she already knew. They killed him because he defied the laws of Hueco Mundo, of survival itself. But he was Colina’s friend, probably her only friend in a very long time. And they took that from her and so she would let him suffer slow before consuming him.

But the Muscular Arrancar grinned as he looked at her and released the hand from his neck, lifting the hand towards her as blood continued to spurt from his neck. And then, while holding the rest of his hand as a fist, he would extend the middle finger at Colina. The insult was almost childish but it showed a disrespect that Colina couldn’t ignore. She growled and roared, beginning to rush towards him with her arms out wide and claws splayed in order to cut him to ribbons. And the Muscular Arrancar opened his mouth, a bright light emanating from within before exploding out and towards Colina.

Colina’s eyes flared open wide as she saw the beam explode from within her enemy, a loud and echoing boom that made the rest of the world silent around her filling her ears. The deep red crimson of the cero was unmistakable. She dove down to the ground, attempting to flee from the damage of the blast that had been unleashed upon her. Her body hit the sand, burying slightly into it’s loose form as the vibrations of the cero echoed through all around them and loosened the particles. Colina’s eyes closed as she felt the heat on her back, hair being singed by the energy as it flew just centimeters over her body. She had just narrowly dodged her death after having been so easily baited into it. When the energy finally passed, Colina stood slowly and looked upon her enemy once more.

Colina stood a mere couple feet from him as he knelt on the ground, the energy having left him and she could tell by how exhausted he was. He lifted both arms at his sides, as if to say that he had nothing left within him to try on her. She had finally won against him and left him lacking the willpower to go on. Colina smiled a bit, nodding solemnly. The fight, if not for the stakes behind it, would have certainly been an enjoyable one. And though Colina loved to prolong fights, this one was done. And with another move, she leapt at the Muscular Arrancar and buried his claws in his chest and her head into his neck, consuming him.

[Teresa]

Kneeling down on the corpse Teresa continued to lean over on her hands and knees, shoving her mask into the rancid flesh of the massive dinosaur Hollow. An animal of this size was something of legends for the human world, Hueco Mundo though played home to more of this size than Teresa could even conceive. It didn’t matter to her though as this flesh wasn’t meant to sustain a city or village population. She had to endure the taste, the texture, the smell, all of it was enough that Teresa felt like she was eating garbage out of a gutter. This was horrific, not only was she eating the grool, she was on it as well.

Perhaps the largest Hollow or any entity that Teresa had ever devoured and yet despite shoveling the disgustingness within her soul she took more than a full minute of eating to feel the presence. The very soul of the Hollow that had been slain was now within her. A sensation that had taken her quite some time to really notice, one that she only ever cared about feeling at times like this, when the food she was consuming could only be described as torture. She could tell the moment when the soul of her prey found itself within her own form.

That very moment Teresa did her best to swallow the putrid blood and flesh within the confines of her jagged mouth. Her white bone body of slender shape was drenched in the wretched blood and Maria would be able to see her painted in the remains of her prey. “That's enough, I can’t stomach anything else here.” Teresa spoke to herself as she raised her left hand, channeling her reiatsu for a moment to form a bala in the palm of her hand. “Burn everything off me.” A simple command that made the bala stretch across her body like a thin layer of paint.

It’d only take a couple of moments, time when Teresa’s form shined with her golden reiatsu. After that the bala dissipated into nothingness revealing Teresa’s pristine form of white bone. All of the blood, dirt and sand that had marked her body was gone. Now it was time to find out what was going on in the distance, what was happening that so many fairly rough Hollows were all around. Teresa contemplated using Moon Step to ascend upwards into the sky in order to view what was beyond the dune.

Doing so would require her to focus quite a lot of the technique, enough that she would be vulnerable to attack while in the sky. “Perhaps I need to make wings of some kind.” Teresa spoke aloud, realizing that commanding a cero to bring her upward or turn into wings might not work. Perhaps she really needed to develop a technique that would enable her to fly freely without potentially falling down or leaving her open to attack. Either way though she took her time to walk to the top of the dune and look out to see the ferocious rabbit Hollow.

"Seek my attention at your peril~"

---

---

light static would buzz in maria's ear as she sat in the air , hear ear piece attempting to connect to a signal which meant two things. Her scientist had managed to reverse engineered kitai's broadcasting equipment , and her observation team had some pertinent data on the current situation. She closes her eyes with a sigh as she reached up sliding a hand into her helmet and tapping the receiver in her ear , a small sharp beep would sound in her ear making her frown. Rolling over onto her back as she floated in the air, the invisible reishi platform beneath her warbling as she did so.

"Lord Segunda, this is head command, please confirm if message received" a soft male voice rang in her ear. "Broadcast received I have encountered rouge forces , Collina had dispatched most of not all of them , Teresa on the other hand appears to be hunting please log that in the reports to be submitted to lord kohai" she yawned out. Her tone was even and tired she was bored , and felt as if she had wasted her time in even coming out here. When next she opened her eyes collina would be face deep in a fat arrancar , taking her time rabidly consuming him while teresa watched. She would make note of her fraccion's normal white shelled body being painted a deep scarlet from her most recent kill 'that one is going to be a problem when she gets stronger, hopefully by then she knows better than to oppose lord kohai' with a light grunt she would stand up her cloak and hair jostling lightly in the wind as she did so.

The static in her earpiece subsided, replaced by her scientist's crisp, clear voice, "Lord Segunda, confirmation received. The signal is stable. We're detecting a significant Spirit energy signature emanating from the area. It appears to be a concentrated source of souls, possibly a heard of Hollows returning from the world of the living." Maria would frown as she heard that , An influx of hollows like that was a rare occurance this was the third swarm this month alone 'at this rate we'll have to start purging the hollow population for the damn shinigami this is rediculious..but a perfect chance to see what teresa can do'. This would be the perfect high stress situation she needed to see how they did under pressure , if the science team was anything to believe there concerns would only be warrented if the swarm was of adhujas level. "Direct our spy drones to hone in on mine and the surrounding quadrantes , i will be conducting a test and wish review the footage later Segunda going radio silent" she would say with a light yawn as she reached up tapping her ear peace and shutting it off.

With a simple application of sonido Maria would appear next to Teresa as if having teleported , her cloak gently fluttering on the breeze as she stood next to her fraccion. "so this is where i find you , neglecting your training with the instructors i so graciously appointed you" her tone was even though there was warning in her voice. Maria was attempting to make Las Noches achieve an evolution itself like the hollows who inhabitted it , for she was clothed in stone but after all of maria's works are done and her servitude completed Las Noches would be adorned in a dress of marble. The future she wanted for the org had no room for disobeying orders or those who ran off to do things of their own volition. A small smile would appear on maria's face as she crossed her arms hugging herself , "...maybe i misunderstood? you wanted my attention then? , i shouldn't feel disrespected i should feel honored you left without my permission , didn't leave a note, or notify my guard about your where abouts" her smile and tone betrayed the words leaving her mouth.

"But lets not focus on the past , i was ordered to train you and make you fit for a starring role so lets start with that" the air around maria would grow frigid and cold , her spiritual pressure witch was normally warm , inviting and comforting would pull a one eighty. Where there was warmth there was now cold and malicious energy , What once felt like the inviting embrace of a paladin now felt like a beast that was born from fear and weaned on it's master's hate. The white of her eyes would slowly turn charcoal black , leaving only her green dazzling emerald iris's looking into Teresa's own golden pin prick of light that constituted her eyes. The spine chilling aura of maria's seem to grow and grow till it washed over the entire battlefield , the entirety of hueco mundo itself. A neon green aura would wrap itself around maria as the gravity in the area would suddenly increase , Spreading not just across the zone of conflict but encapsulating all the wasting desert of Hueco Mundo. What little power she had shown before would appear like a drop in the bucket compared to this moment.

All of creation itself would shake and tremble gently at first, but growing more violent by the second the millions of souls she had consumed on display in her riatsu; what remained in maria's stead was no longer an arrancar but a monster that had removed it's mask just for a moment. One might ask why she never did this before , the answer was simple before she had hope people could be reasoned with , she feared Kohai would execute her had she grown to strong, she cared..far to much about the free will of others. With Kohai now in her good favor, And months of being disrespected by those she thought close to her and having her generosity thrown back in her face in the form of rebellion throughout Las Noches she was done with it all. as if on cue the sky above would begin rending itself open the warbling roar of garganta's opening would echo through the area and thousands of tears in space and time as the hollows blotted out the starless sky of hueco mundo. "your first bout of training start's now teresa , go and kill every single one and be warned i'll be watching if you run" her words where simple relaxed...cold no longer would maria tolerate those who fumbled about before her disregarding her rule.

She would slowly starting walking down the sand dune uncrossing her arms putting a lid back on her power as she did , despite collina's good work she herself still neglected her duties. There would be praise but there would also be a scolding , maria has had to pick up a great deal of slack due to this one hollow's absence and neglect of her temporary position as acting Exequias commander. She would be ripped from her thoughts as the ground near her feet suddenly exploded , in a mad dash she would use sonido to avoid the attack the interwoven barrier of her armor. What emerged from the sand was a large muscle bound arrancar who was rising from the ground appearing to have broken through the surfaced via an uppercut , on the end of his car sized fist was a bright neon green negtive space outline of maria's body that would explode violenty. His arm up to his shoulder being completely gone , he would let out a pained scream flailing around on the sand , maria getting a chance to take in the arrancar's appearance 'he looks fucking ridiculous' she would think to herself as she scowled at the flailing excuse of a soldier.

His body was like that of muscular dorido , his biceps and triceps where extremely small while his fore arms where the size of a Prius and his legs...they where so skinny how away this guy even standing up. His hollow hole was centered in the middle of his chest , his face had a boar mask on it "how droll a piggy lost in the woods" she would say raising her hand a teal green cero charging , bathing the area in an aeerie green light and maria's promise of destruction. As she let loose the cero she would dialate it's size upon it slamming into the arrancar , causing ther cero the would normally wipe out a city block to double in size. Due to her positioning after the sonido she would find her self just behind the dune teresa stood upon , the beam itself missing her entirely but if she didn't move she would be getting a bath in a nice sand tsunami. This would be the same for collina as well , in regards to it just barely being a miss the blast was aimed in such a way it would hit neither but the resulting sand fall out could be resolved with a simple dodge.

When the light of the cero died and the dust began to settle the results of her blast would be a trentch that lead down into the pitch black of the menos forest, 'hmmm guess i overdid it' she would think to herself as she began walking down via her air platforms. She was in search of somethimg , the one thing all hunters go after when they downed thier prey a good fucking meal. After a few seconds she would see the lower half of the male arrancar hanging in a tree branch , wasting no time she would grab it compressing the very reishi of the body down into a glowing white ball which she would promptly swallow whole. The few precious seconds one could spend eating without getting ambushed was ambiguous at best, and maria had no time to waste on such matters destroy the body break down the soul and what would take minutes would take seconds. She would take a deep  breath and sigh as she looked up at garganta's opening up in the sky wondering if teres would heed her order "lets see if your pride will refuse my challenge..." she would say with small smile as she slowly began ascending once more..

4-Sonido Mastery-This is how well you move at high speeds. Anyone can master a step tech but maria has taken it a step further being able to achieve near impossible feats with her sonido's. With a 1 Practitioners of the technique can maintain fast movements for a short period of time, by seemingly taking only a few steps to bridge what would normally be a large distances. Those who are practitioners commonly use their knowledge of Hohō while engaging in combat to close the space between combatants. Practitioners who maintain these high speeds for too long tend to become winded. With a 2 the user of the technique are considerably fast, and can maintain high speed movements for extended periods of time. While not as fast as a master, they can keep up quite effectively. Some holding the title are faster than others, but, nonetheless, their application of the technique is highly advanced. With a 3 one would be considered a master of sonido ,masters are capable of maintaining high speed movements for extended periods of time while using the least amount of steps to achieve those movements. Masters are capable of using advanced steps, which are considerably harder to initiate. A master can possibly create new techniques but it is most likely a rare occurrence. With a 4 in the usage of sonido they are now able to maintain Ludacris speeds and travel astonishing distances most if not all would think to be impossible through the use of a single step , possibly having a bevy of unique step techs to themselves.

3-Pain Tolerance-This is how well you tolerate pain. It only applies to physical pain, not emotional. A 1 means you can tolerate it enough to keep fighting despite minor wounds like cuts or second degree burns. With a three maria can take third degree burns and basic slash wounds and fight through with them. She can ignore the pain of many attacks completely, including strong ones. She can even resist severe torture methods, but extreme ones will break this Skill.

3-Str. Of Will- This is used to resist giving in. You can overpower illusions, drugs, and overcome aversions to pain, hardship, trauma, and fear. You can basically just scream and power through to reach your goal. If you lose your will, the Willpower technique will no longer grant you eternal life. Maria herself poses a 3 in this skill. She is capable of resisting simple baser temptations as well as resist torture and power through pain.

3-Calm Mind-You are extremely good at calming yourself in battle. Anyone with the right personality can be calm and level-headed under pressure, but this Skill allows you to focus at inhuman levels to block out distractions entirely. They can even resist illusions to some degree and calm the agony that would come with a large stimulus from having high Senses. with a three they are within the following tiers of calm mind she can block out most ambient noises and can resist distractions along with anxiety & resist weak(er) illusions.

3-Spatha's- Those who have a 1 are those who specialize in the use of sword & blades during combat. Someone of this level has to have basic skills in swordsmanship as well. All seated officers of the Gotei 13 , and your average numeros have to possess, at the very least, this level of skill with a blade. With a 2 they could be considered equivocal skill to an indeterminate blade wielder. With a 3 put them on the same ground as expert world class swordsman, capable of pulling off a few amazing feats & tricks but nothing outside the realm of impossibility.

3-Battle Analysis-This is used to analyze combat specifics. When someone has this Skill, they can quickly evaluate what is happening and respond accordingly. This includes gauging what kind of technique was used and how to best avoid it logically. Maria has a basic understanding of most standard techniques , while having a good grasp on battle analytics and can hold her own exceptionally well. with a 3 this means she is familiar with virtually any technique.

3-Cero Mastery- This is how well the practioner can use & manipulate ceros. When someone has this skill they can use cero in creative and unexpected ways pushing the simple technique to it's limits. A 1 means they can now slightly alter cero in subtle ways an example being dilating the size of the beam by pinching it to avoid collateral , or flaring to catch foes in the blast. A 2 in the skill shows that this individual has mastered the flow of thier riatsu having a quicker charge time and may now charge cero's anywhere on thier body , thus elimating the need for a gesture while charging and firing a cero which may be a suprise to some foes. with A 3 in this skill one could be considered a true master of cero now being able to create unorthodox and unique ceros giving them unique shapes and functions that push the limits of what could be considered possible for cero.

[Colina Conejita]

Colina stood over her fallen enemy, licking her lips of the crimson that came from their neck. After devouring most of him, the Muscular Arrancar dissipated from existence as two identical Arrancar slowly lifted from the sands behind Colina, clapping their hands. Colina turned, baring her teeth and hissing at them uncharacteristically. She drew her arms back, readying herself for another fight but found that both Arrancar were unfazed by her display of aggression. They instead lifted their hands, showing them free of their weapons which were two very bland zanpakutou, one for each Arrancar, still sheathed on their hips. They stood adorned in white and black robes, both inverted from the other where one had a belt of white and the other black and robes of similar colors but opposite of their belts. The one on the left in a white robe cleared his throat and began to speak.

“You truly thought these miscreants were more than pawns? Clearly you aren’t the brains of any bunch my dear.” He chuckled and the other continued on in his place. “Verily, we were the ones behind extermination of the hollows that betray their nature. The shadows that wipe away the stain of such blasphemous forms. And next, we will take down the regime that up holds the one called Kouhai. A False God for us and all hollow kind.” He tsked with his lips against his teeth and the white robed Arrancar carried on.

“We will take the place of the pretender and lead hollow kind to their true destination amongst the Three Worlds. We will take the Soul King’s palace, unthrone him, and absorb him into our flesh. We will make all Hollows one, as was ordained long before the Ascension. And we will make Three One.” As the last bit was spoken, they came together and placed their hands on the other’s, as if in some obscure prayer held by two individuals. As their fingers interlaced they seemed to have an enjoyment that blinded them of sense and reason. Their eyes even flittered backwards and up towards the moonlit sky above in response.

Colina scratched her head for a moment, trying to process everything that was being said but found it all to be nonsense. She simply shook her head of the thots that were being brought on and chose not to speak to their claims and prophecies. She wanted revenge and they gave her all the motivation she needed. Colina, ignoring the pain in her side, surged forward and lashed out at the first Arrancar she could reach, the one robed in black. As Colina lashed out, the Arrancar in White leapt backwards in response, attempting to avoid any physical contact. The Arrancar in Black only lifted up his right arm, catching Colina’s attack with his palm. He winced slightly, but blood was not drawn, only his flesh slightly cracking and chipping from the attack and bringing a smile to his lips.

Colina was stuck in a deadlock with the Arrancar in Black until she felt the entirety of the realm shake and shimmer, a power calling the world into a confusing rumble. Colina and the Arrancar in Black stepped back from one another in response, both looking around for the source before Colina saw the blast from Maria’s cero flying through the sand dune behind the Arrancar she faced. She moved to the left and out of the path of destruction just in the nick of time. But the Arrancar in Black wasn’t so lucky and found himself one moment having a right arm and the next instead spilling forth an eruption of blood at the space where his arm once was. He screamed out, gripping the place where his arm was with his remaining arm while looking back and then to Colina in a rage. “I thought you came alone!”

As Colina’s feet slid through the sand, gaining some traction in the coarse particles after having narrowly dodged the attack given by the Segunda Espada she found herself staring at where the blast had just torn through. A great shadow was coming over Colina and she wondered why such a powerful being was bothering themselves with coming this far into the desert to begin with. And as the thoughts came over her, so did the tsunami of sand, crashing down in a massive wave and carrying her with it. Colina was pushed back fifty feet by the sand as she tried to fight through it, moving her arms in a motion as if to swim through the particulates like water. When the sand finally rest, Colina was half buried and pulling herself out when the Arrancar in Black charged at her with his one remaining arm carrying his blade.

Colina yelped and ducked beneath the blade while sprawling out her legs behind her, catching her upper body with her arms. She quickly rolled over just in time to dodge the blade from being plunged into her neck. She looked up to see the Arrancar grimacing and shuddering in pain. Obviously the attack was much more than he could handle and Colina knew that had she not moved in time she would be in a very similar position. Colina rolled again in the same direction to avoid the Arrancar from swiping his blade to catch her lying there. As the blade carved through the sand Colina could tell he was a leader built on defense rather than being a creature of skill. He was already huffing and puffing with exhaustion.

Colina gripped the Arrancar by his ankles quickly, digging her claws into his ankle and finding her strength still not suitable enough to get through his Hierro. But truthfully, she didn’t need to get through his shell and instead stood quickly with the assistance of her other arm and began her attack by lifting him up and off the ground, holding him upside down by his ankle. She began to violently shake him and the Arrancar lost grip of his blade in response, shouting a couple expletives at the situation he found himself in. As Colina shook him, she giggled at the expletives and shook him a bit harder in response. When she found he was successfully disarmed, Colina finally stopped her shaking of him and held him still for a moment, examining him. And then she decided she was already tired of him.

Colina quickly whirled her right arm over her head, pulling the Arrancar with her arm in the motion. As she did, she could hear the sudden movement taking the air out of the lungs of the Arrancar’s body in surprise. His gasping was certainly entertaining and Colina couldn’t help but finally feel something she hadn’t since this hunt had begun; a sense of levity. A certain happiness in the fight that had been lacking in her grief. But now it was back and it lit a fire inside of her as she swung her arm. She forcefully collided the Arrancar with the ground in front of her and then lifted her arm right after, using the energy of the Arrancar bouncing off of the sand to continue her motion and slam him in the opposite direction as well.

Colina slammed the Arrancar against the ground in successive motions about three more times before she finally saw the Arrancar in White make himself known, watching Colina slamming his co-conspirator against the ground over and over. He stood while watching her laugh and swing his friend around for quite awhile before finally clearing his throat. Colina held up her other hand towards him in response, as if to tell him she would be with him in a moment. And with one more swift motion, Colina threw the Arrancar in Black into the air slightly, released his ankle, and then caught him by his neck in quick and successive movements. And while turning towards the Arrancar in white, she took a quick bite out of the Arrancar in Black’s head, chewing as she did and looking at her next opponent with glee. She looked like a child holding onto a doll with a lollipop for a head.

The Arrancar in White, upon seeing their ally turned into a chew toy that Colina finally finished off made them quite uneasy as to whether they could win this fight. But they surmised that perhaps it was more due to the intervention of the Segunda Espada and decided that this time it would be fair. The Arrancar took out his blade and gave it a flourish before speaking, “Twist the truth, Embustro!” As the Arrancar spoke, his spiritual energy flared like a beacon of white light that filled the night sky of and almost blocked out the moon. When the beam dissipated he stood covered in a Knight’s armor with four arms and the legs of a horse, becoming akin to a Centaur of myth.

The Arrancar Knight held up a shield and three spears, smiling beneath his helm and kicking his left back leg as if signaling a charge about to be committed. Colina smiled and bent her legs, going into a deep crouch in response and waited for the Arrancar to charge. She knew about the process of Ressurrecion and how this Arrancar was putting all of the chips on the table. And that meant she could certainly defeat him if she played her card right and got all the chippies instead. This thought however did make Colina hungry again.

Colina watched as the Arrancar finally howled and charged at her. She was ready for his movement, his charge to come at her from her previous battles. She waited until he was just in range and leapt up into the air, aiming to just barely overpass his weapon reach. And as the Arrancar swung his swords at her body, she reached down with her leg, the claws on her foot gripping around the blade and yanking her back down and onto her target. Where Colina landed was straddled on the horse half of the Arrancar, back to back with his torso.

While upon his back, Colina began to tear into the horse flesh he was made of, rending up tissue and skin like strips of raw bacon. The Arrancar howled and turned his upper half around while still charging forward through the sand. With his body turning he brought his shield down on Colina’s side, slamming into her. Colina was launched from the back of her opponent and slammed to the ground, digging into the sand with her body before standing up and dusting herself off. She thought she might have found his weak spot but it wasn’t that easy. She needed to get a bit more creative. She watched as he treaded through the sand and thought to herself. ‘What if I get those legs out from under him?’

Colina scooped up some sand in her hand as she waited for him to turn, being not one to chase in this moment. She needed to either disable his legs or get those weapons from his hands. And he had so many at his disposal that it seemed quite unfair to Colina. She needed to fight dirty, literally. Colina gripped the sand tight in her fist as she watched the Arrancar turn and begin charging at her again, his speed being about equal to hers she figured. It might actually be a challenge to defeat him if he just decided to run in this form.

As the Arrancar approached, his horse hind pressing deep into the sand and exploding with speed towards her, Colina began to crouch again. This was a feint, a ruse to get him to think she was just going to try the same engagement twice. But Colina wouldn’t be caught trying on the same dress twice at this gala, so to speak. Not that Colina would be one to wear dresses to any formal events. But the point was that Colina needed to get this man to think her so foolish as to try it twice and the results were perfect. The Arrancar lifted his swords, ready to slice at her if she attempted to jump over him again.

As the Arrancar got within five feet, he would look confused as Colina would not leap up but instead wait a half second more, leap directly to meet him face to face, and lodge the sand into his face, her hand literally wiping it into his eyes. The Arrancar screamed in pain, dropping two of his swords and lifting up his shield, knocking Colina out of the way again while trying to clear the debris from his face. He began erratically running around, his horse back legs kicking out in frantic frustration. Colina simply lay in the sand, laughing loudly at the idea of her being defeated by this fool. She kicked her legs while holding her stomach, rolling the sand and taking a moment to enjoy this.

The Arrancar overheard Colina’s laughter and growled in frustration, turning and throwing his shield in her direction. As the shield was wildly thrown, it bounced off of the sand around five feet from Colina’s body and caused her to sit up and sigh at the Arrancar’s failed attempt to strike her. She sighed and stood up again, cracking her neck and looking at him as he continued to flail about, rubbing the sand out of his eyes and Colina knew that it was time to finally end this bout. As Colina flexed her arms, stretching them out and feeling the moment of rest between the madness, she though that she had perhaps taken too much time between the attacks she had given. And so, she got on all fours and began charging at the Arrancar.

As Colina blasted through the sand at her top speed, the Arrancar had finally finished getting the sand out of his eyes and turned towards Colina. He raised his last sword and aimed to give Colina a wide slash through the head if possible. Colina saw her target readying his slash and as she leapt into the air she raised her left arm in front of her head. And the Arrancar still swung his sword, catching Colina’s left arm and digging in deep, splitting Colina’s arm flesh and becoming caught in the meat of her arm. Colina flexed her muscles as she felt the blade dig in, hissing and catching the blade in her muscle. At the same time, she lifted her right arm and began clawing at the Arrancar. At first she found purchase in his throat, tearing out a chunk of his flesh.

As the Arrancar felt his throat open up, he gave a silent scream, air escaping but making more of a raspy sound. And in response, Colina began moving down her target’s torso, tearing out chunks of flesh as she did. His right pectoral became red sinew, his abdomen has long gashes strewn throughout, and his groin where the horse and man halves met had a long slash along its waist. The final cut was deep, as if trying to separate the two halves but too quickly done to actually get the job done. However, the Arrancar’s guts spilled out and fell to the ground below. And Colina saw the gaping holes she left and picking his neck as the most substantial, leaning in and digging her fangs into the hole. She swallowed the chunks of flesh she bit into and the Arrancar fell to his horse knees as Colina finished him off.

When Colina had finally completed her job, she stood over the slowly disappearing corpse and turned to the direction the Cero had come from. She began walking over, the pain in her side becoming more and more evident with each step. When she finally reached relatively close to Maria’s position, she fell to her knees and smiled. Colina’s body would begin to glow with the evolutionary change, power surging through her from all the consuming she had done. And when it was done, Colina remained kneeling in the sand but had transformed into a five foot six inch tall woman of a hollow. Her claws were still intact but they were more slender along with her legs. She was naked and had breasts with no nipples, simply having a hierro looking white over them and the entirety of her body. Colina’s long black hair had now appeared, falling down to her waist and her entire face was covered in a blank white except for her eyes which had holes for her purple eyes to poke through which looked dull with the exhaustion overtaking her.

Consumed so far: 7x Class 2 Arrancar

[Teresa]

Moving along the mass of sand Teresa was curious as to why so many tough Hollows were appearing suddenly. She’s been moving for over an hour without any sort of attack or prey coming into view. Now within just a few minutes two Hollows powerful enough for her to swallow showed up one after another. This wasn’t normal based on all her time in Hueco Mundo, so what was causing all of this. She wouldn’t really have time to figure it out though as Maria appeared right next to her like a hallucinations made real.

“Training with those that I could devour is meaningless.” Teresa spoke with an absolute level manner, turning and matching Maria’s gaze. Maria was the Segunda and by all rights her commander, something that Teresa didn’t like but had accepted. She kept quiet while her pride stirred her anger as Maria spoke as if she had run away. A prisoner doing everything they could to break through the walls and gain freedom was not fitting for what Teresa was doing in her own eyes.

“I have kept my word. I agreed to join Las Noches when you defeated me. I have done that without complaint. I serve the King and you but no one else. Those trainers you appointed are more fit for beginners or idiots. They have nothing to teach me. I need to be out of those marble walls so I can evolve. I need to become a Vasto Lordes. That’s what you want as well. You want me to become powerful enough that I’m a worthy weapon for the King. I haven’t shown you disrespect. I have stayed in Hueco Mundo when I could easily go back to the Human World. Eating our own kind is torture but it’s all I find available here. If you want my talents to become more refined or for me to realize some new level that I’m missing then the only solution is for you to train me personally.”

It was at this point that Teresa could really pick up on the fact that there were dozens and dozens of other Hollows all returning to Hueco Mundo almost together. This wasn’t something that she’d seen before and while this wasn’t really the moment for it, it was an opportunity. At least one of them was hopefully worth stomaching in order to grow. The others would provide her a good outlet to unleash her anger that was now built up. Teresa though hadn’t been expecting Maria to demonstrate why she was the Segunda.

Managing to shake the very world itself wasn’t something that Teresa would have believed possible. This level of power was something that truly belonged in legend or myth. It was this fact along with the weight that Teresa felt pushing her down to the sand, that made her realize Maria was a Goddess. Teresa had to ponder though why someone like her didn’t rule over the entire world instead of following someone else like a pet. Why would someone who could rip the world apart on a whim serve below anyone else?

One moment it was like trying to survive next to a black hole, the next everything was back to normal and Maria began speaking once again. Teresa wasted no time getting up, back on her feet so that she could watch as all her prey returned to be slaughtered. “Why would I cower before prey when I stood my ground against you?” Teresa was confident that it wouldn’t matter the numbers. If she found one or two worthy of serving her than she would stomach their flavor to gain them otherwise these souls would find themselves removed very soon.

"Seek my attention at your peril~"

As maria stood upon the sands of Hueco Mundo she would look up at the moon , or at least attempt to through the swarm of hollows that clouded out the sigh casting a shadow upon existence itself. The portals opening seemingly had no end her earlier grav pressure luring even more hollows to the zone, she sighed looking down at Collina the silver hare of las nachos it’s impromptu exacutioner and she who serves as kohai’s enforcer. The mere act of kneeling before her was an act of submission she herself found unbecoming of Collina , one who should maria find herself stepping out of line should expect to find herself on the business end of collina’s blade. The neon green haired arrancar would take a step forward her shadow being cast over collina as she reached out her hand , gently resting her hand upon the rabbit vasto lorde’s head gently ruffling her hair in an act of praise.

Collina had done a great service for las noches in the disposal of these rouge agents , "Collina you have done well , in killing the rebelious soldiers but your work is not done las noches has been divided several rebellions appear in your absence.." she gently removes her hand from collina's head "...you may return to las noches and rest at my palace , but when you are rested we will have words" her tone not indicative on weather these words would be positive or negative. Placing her hands behind her back she would walk past collina "now run along my dear I have discipline to doll out to my rebelious fraction"

4-Sonido Mastery-This is how well you move at high speeds. Anyone can master a step tech but maria has taken it a step further being able to achieve near impossible feats with her sonido's. With a 1 Practitioners of the technique can maintain fast movements for a short period of time, by seemingly taking only a few steps to bridge what would normally be a large distances. Those who are practitioners commonly use their knowledge of Hohō while engaging in combat to close the space between combatants. Practitioners who maintain these high speeds for too long tend to become winded. With a 2 the user of the technique are considerably fast, and can maintain high speed movements for extended periods of time. While not as fast as a master, they can keep up quite effectively. Some holding the title are faster than others, but, nonetheless, their application of the technique is highly advanced. With a 3 one would be considered a master of sonido ,masters are capable of maintaining high speed movements for extended periods of time while using the least amount of steps to achieve those movements. Masters are capable of using advanced steps, which are considerably harder to initiate. A master can possibly create new techniques but it is most likely a rare occurrence. With a 4 in the usage of sonido they are now able to maintain Ludacris speeds and travel astonishing distances most if not all would think to be impossible through the use of a single step , possibly having a bevy of unique step techs to themselves.

3-Pain Tolerance-This is how well you tolerate pain. It only applies to physical pain, not emotional. A 1 means you can tolerate it enough to keep fighting despite minor wounds like cuts or second degree burns. With a three maria can take third degree burns and basic slash wounds and fight through with them. She can ignore the pain of many attacks completely, including strong ones. She can even resist severe torture methods, but extreme ones will break this Skill.

3-Str. Of Will- This is used to resist giving in. You can overpower illusions, drugs, and overcome aversions to pain, hardship, trauma, and fear. You can basically just scream and power through to reach your goal. If you lose your will, the Willpower technique will no longer grant you eternal life. Maria herself poses a 3 in this skill. She is capable of resisting simple baser temptations as well as resist torture and power through pain.

3-Calm Mind-You are extremely good at calming yourself in battle. Anyone with the right personality can be calm and level-headed under pressure, but this Skill allows you to focus at inhuman levels to block out distractions entirely. They can even resist illusions to some degree and calm the agony that would come with a large stimulus from having high Senses. with a three they are within the following tiers of calm mind she can block out most ambient noises and can resist distractions along with anxiety & resist weak(er) illusions.

3-Spatha's- Those who have a 1 are those who specialize in the use of sword & blades during combat. Someone of this level has to have basic skills in swordsmanship as well. All seated officers of the Gotei 13 , and your average numeros have to possess, at the very least, this level of skill with a blade. With a 2 they could be considered equivocal skill to an indeterminate blade wielder. With a 3 put them on the same ground as expert world class swordsman, capable of pulling off a few amazing feats & tricks but nothing outside the realm of impossibility.

3-Battle Analysis-This is used to analyze combat specifics. When someone has this Skill, they can quickly evaluate what is happening and respond accordingly. This includes gauging what kind of technique was used and how to best avoid it logically. Maria has a basic understanding of most standard techniques , while having a good grasp on battle analytics and can hold her own exceptionally well. with a 3 this means she is familiar with virtually any technique.

3-Cero Mastery- This is how well the practioner can use & manipulate ceros. When someone has this skill they can use cero in creative and unexpected ways pushing the simple technique to it's limits. A 1 means they can now slightly alter cero in subtle ways an example being dilating the size of the beam by pinching it to avoid collateral , or flaring to catch foes in the blast. A 2 in the skill shows that this individual has mastered the flow of thier riatsu having a quicker charge time and may now charge cero's anywhere on thier body , thus elimating the need for a gesture while charging and firing a cero which may be a suprise to some foes. with A 3 in this skill one could be considered a true master of cero now being able to create unorthodox and unique ceros giving them unique shapes and functions that push the limits of what could be considered possible for cero.
