The Four Kings of Zanzabar [Official Thread]

[Deleted]

Another large explosion, this time near them? Allen had seen enough action movies to know where this was going. This, of course, is where the first obstacle would come into play (he didn't count the earlier zombies as obstacles, those guys were jokes), and he goddamn welcomed it. Right now, he was getting bored, and he could use an opponent that he couldn't simply will to die to try and fight him. And given how fast the two figures that had come from the explosion were moving, perhaps that could be arranged. A smile grew across his face as one of them moved up the building to fight him.

And yet, once it stopped, Allen was slightly disappointed. Okay, better than that zombies, and likely better than most of, if not all of, the shinigami, but even from a simple glance, Allen could tell that the Adjuchas wouldn't be enough to challenge him. Clearly, its body was built for physical, toe to toe combat, and maybe if he was in the mood for brawling, that would be enough. But right now, what Allen wanted was a foe that could force him to go all out. And this one would be lucky to get him to use Hakuda, if he was really feeling this fight.

"Hey, Kangaroo Jack? Why don't you pick on someone more of your level. I really have no fucking interest in dealing with a nameless drek like you." And although the Kangaroo might be offended by Allen's words, there was something that it would instinctively feel more: absolute fear. People with significantly high reiatsu strength, like Allen possessed, could flare it to instill fear upon those who didn't match them in strength. And given the Kangaroo likely didn't have an incredibly powerful will, or a total lack of fear, it would see Allen as a flat out monster.

Of course, if it did still charge, Allen wasn't worried in the slightest. The Kangaroos fist's would shatter upon his Hierro long before they actually injured Allen himself. If the Kangaroo didn't run while Allen gave it the chance to do so, he'd destroy it utterly, taking out his rage upon it as best he could. And if nothing else, Allen had rage in spades.

<sub>The pair had been blown back from the sudden emergence of another explosion that had blossomed in front of them. A small mushroom cloud was all that was left when the two Fraccion had landed on the roof behind the Escudo Arrancar. She could not tell what had transpired or how the explosion came to be there in the first place, but she could not maintain her focus on it with her stomach still sore from the purging she had done earlier on. A slight tingling sensation in her ears didn't help her anymore than what their current predicament was already. One thing after another, this was Shiryou's day at all.

Emerging from the puff of smoke was a pair of purplish figures. Swift motions that she could not see dashed around the environment before the two. When they had ceased all movement she could focus more on their features. A pair of cute pair of Kangaroos . . or what would have been cute at the very least if they were smaller and were actual Kangaroos. Their Hollow masks gave them away and based on how they appeared with those oddly shaped hands, perhaps they like to hit things with their hands. The very thought made her shrug and her scalp itchy.

Nonetheless, they were in the way, and the twins needed to pass through to continue forward with their mission. The man in front had spoken some challenging words that would have angered Shiryou if they had been directed at her, but, eh, they weren't. He was no fun at all and not nice, how could anyone be his friend. She pouted. While he was talking down to the Adjuchas in front of them Shiryou had turned her attention to its partner in crime. Apparently, it was facing off with another group of individuals. She didn't know who they were. The moaning background noise was penetrated by her sister, "Observation. It would seem that your friend is here Shiryou."

With flares of light and movement from the other side, could there have been someone she knew there.</sub>

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

<sub>The pair had continued to meet with the other group, led of course by Shiryou. Her own curiosity would hopefully lead them into a more favorable position. While the other man assuming that he had the Kangaroos' attention, the two would keep a distance away as they crossed toward the other group. Iraishin's familiarity with only one of the reiatsu's that had been spiked from her energy sensory, she knew that it was that Quincy who they had became acquainted to. She did not know with whom that the Quincy had paired with, but at least it will be fitting to be with someone that they were somewhat familiar with, even it is with someone who is aligned in a enemy faction.

Before she could speak again to her sister to reign her free spirit in there was a flash of light that came from the familiar presence. A quick closure of the eyes allowed Iraishin to protect herself from momentary blindness, but unfortunately Shiryou caught the full sight of the flash, leaving her to see spots. "Assistance. Use my eyes Shiryou." Shiryou's quick fuss over her eyes being irritated had ceased quickly as the twin focused on their bond to see through her sister's eyes. Thus, allowing the pair to remain on track toward the second group. Perhaps they could use the extra help.

Waiting for a moment to track the second Adjuchas with her sensory the pair halted from a roof top parallel to their own position. "Combination. Together Shiryou." Iraishin would focus her energy sensory to keep track of the creature as the two used a single arm each to forge a single red sphere. The Twins focused their reiatsu to combine their individual reiatsu strength together for a more powerful form of the attack. Once the creature had left itself open, the Fraccions followed Iraishins sensory to launch their attack.</sub>

(OOC: still on vacation and only have an ipad so forgive me please. Also please be more specifics with attacks so I can visualize please. Hard to do this at 2 am lol)

It was interesting the tactics that everyone would be using. There would be a great deal of thought that seemed to be going into each attack.. But where to begin.. It started with kagami and his group. It seemed the vice captain had taken a liking to using his subordinates as simple laboratory rats; oh well. It started with the byakurai on the first kangaroo. The white lighting would zip forward and do something strange. Hotaru was also on the scene before this abnormality happened. Hotaru would bring her sword up and downwards, utilizing a feint. There was also the fact of the attack from the Quincy... So many arrow shots. Something interesting would indeed happen. The first was that hotaru's blade would be pushed back, flung back with force that would send her hurling back towards a few near by buildings. The byakurai would swerve out of the way and the arrows would all mis fire when they reached the kangaroo. At the end of the attack.. He was somehow fine. The creature just jumped up and down , unphased.

As for Allen, his intimidation almost worked but it seemed another force was pushing the creature. There was some voice in its head calling out. It was afraid, sweating at Allen's presence .. But the one thing that defeats fear is an even greater fear.. That of 100% chance of death. The kangaroo at least knew he had a chance here. In any case he seemed to get his composure.. It was then that the Bala came in. It seemed to be struggling as it fired. It would have hit but it slowly began to swerve to the left and eventually just missed. The kangaroo was now hoping and motioning for the others to come at him.

(OOC: I'm not making up crap, think this out and really use your minds).

[Douma]

Kagami watched his allies with mild interest, pretending to not care while discreetly analyzing and taking note of every action the Shinigami made. He was a commander, after all, and the Vice Captain made it his job to know every detail about all of the Shinigami. He usually only focused on the attractive ones, but his squad members were a close second priority. Most wouldn’t notice, but Kagami was a slightly different man from a few months ago. He was starting to embrace more of his responsibility and began to understand what it truly meant to be a leader. God, this is boring. I could use a drink… He pulled a small flask filled with whiskey from the inside of his suit jacket and uncapped it, pouring half the contents into his mouth.

When he looked back down, he was surprised to see Asen’s Byakurai deflected to the side of the Kangaroo. The Vice Captain raised an eyebrow in question, slowly shutting the lid of the flask and returning it to the interior of his jacket as he studied the Kangaroo with scrutiny. Hotaru’s blade bounced away without even making contact, throwing her back several hundred meters. Kagami would have prevented her from flying away by summoning a mirror, but the speed she was moving at would cause her to most likely break a bone or two after crashing with the mirror. At Vannan’s request, Kagami shut his eyes, honing his energy sensory to detect what was going on. He just felt the Quincy’s arrow get redirected by the invisible force field around the Kangaroo.

Kagami felt the nearby Arrancar’s reiatsu spike, and he immediately directed his eyes to what may or may not be another attack. However, he realized that the man was just flexing his reaitsu. The Vice Captain could now truly understand the strength of his reiatsu, determining that he was even more powerful than that Kido-using Arrancar Col Arana. Maybe getting in a three-way battle wouldn’t be the best idea. Kagami didn’t feel threatened at all by the Kangaroos, but Allen was completely different. Kagami didn’t mind the two identical twins, but that one really powerful guy would be dangerous.

Kagami wouldn’t wait for Hotaru to return, but rather expected her to catch up when Kagami delt with the Kangaroo. It was time for him to take action. “Lemme show you how it’s done, Kids.” In truth, all the members of Kagami’s party were around the same age, Asen being the youngest. Kagami just called them kids in an arrogantly condescending way to heighten is own ego. Kagami really didn’t care what they thought, just as long as it was about him. And if they paid careful attention, they’d understand that he had the power to back his words.

The Vice Captain placed a hand on his chest and mentally activated Bakudo #38: Mirafureru. Immediately, his body became coated in a reflective layer made of reiatsu that only left his mouth, ears, and nostrils open. The rest of his was coated in the mirror, and he would simply begin walking right past the Kangaroo, towards the first explosion that erupted which initially got his attention. That is the one that he decided had the most answers regarding their mission. As Kagami walked by the Kangaroo, he would nod a greeting. “ ‘Ello, mate. Kangaroo Jack, was it?” he said, imitating an Australian accent. There was really no reason to do so, but don’t ask why. Just go with it.

Reiatsu Remaining: 7900/8000 (-100 for Mirafureru)

[Asen Mahawa]

Asen's eyes grew slim when the Byakurai was curved around the Kangaroo. He thought that there must have been some kind of shield against Kido until he witnessed Hotaru get flung back. Perhaps these guys are using a force field of some kind. But there's also a Kido for that does the exact same thing... Though is a Hollow being able to do that? Asen wondered as his photographic memory already memorized on what happened, now he's just trying to find out how exactly.

It was then he only saw a flash of light as he blinked while the arrows flew at the Kangaroo, but just from Asen sensing, he can tell that the arrows were also deflected. Asen opened his eyes from the long blink as he was seeing multiple rainbow colored orbs now in his eyes. They were watery and stinging from the tears rolling down his cheek from his eyes. He wiped them off with his sleeve as best as he could. Though it took about a few seconds before the tears stopped flowing and he was able to concentrate again. That just makes Asen's theory more concrete as he pieces everything together.

Asen glanced over to the other side where he can see the identical twins firing off a Bala at the Kangaroo. Unfortunately it seemed the Bala had the same effect as Byakurai did. If anything and secretly to himself, he hopes that these Arrancar are on their side or at least not showing hostile behavior towards them. In any case, Asen is actually a bit concerned about the big Arrancar flexing his Reiatsu. If that Arrancar is powerful enough to even make the Kangaroo nervous and frightened with just the flexing, Asen can just imagine how bad it would be if the Arrancar turned on them.

That's when Kagami stepped in from observation to action. One thing for sure though, Asen is certain that force field is not the Kangaroo's doing. After all Asen can't shake the feeling that there's more than that meets the eye about these two Kangaroo. Judging from their movements and the way they strike with their fists, Asen can assume that these guys can possibly use Cero and Bala. Other than that though Asen feels like they're incapable of doing. Obviously Möbius is behind this, and is probably aiding these Kangaroos from a distance. Even with the search for Möbius Reiatsu, it's hard to sense it with all of this distortion in the air.

Asen was on alert not just on the Kangaroo which Kagami is now standing beside it talking, but also to everything else while constantly searching for Möbius signature who could pop up anywhere almost. Of course Asen is concerned about the Arrancars, but he can see that the twins are actually helping them by providing additional firepower. In truth they need it, but if Möbius is protecting these Kangaroos then Möbius has to be able to see the battle from afar. So perhaps if somehow Möbius lose sight of one of them perhaps that forcefield won't occur. However with Kagami that close to the target Asen doesn't want to risk to accidentally hit Kagami. So Asen just has his Augatsol drawn out revealing her crimson red blade while looking like he could spring upon the Kangaroo. However this is just a precaution that Asen is taking in case the enemy appear behind him he would be ready.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru watched as her blade hit...something. She didn't know what it was, but the 'thing' that she hit pushed her back. She couldn't really do anything against the force so she felt as she got pushed back pretty far. It pushed her to where she was pretty much flying through the air towards near by buildings. While she was flying off, she saw Vannan shoot off something bright. Thankfully, she was going fast enough to not see the bright light at its brighest, which would've blinded her.

She was finally able to get her bearings during her little flight. She was able to land on one of the buildings, but due to the force she was thrown, she left a huge indentation in the building. She landed hard enough so that her legs were hurting a little bit. She slowly got up and shook her legs out a little, to get the pain out of them. By the time she looked back up again, the light had died down and it seemed like the other group had started to fight with their kangaroo.

When she got back to her group, she saw the smaller of the Arrancars shoot off something, which she remembered to be a Bala. She looked up the term after her little adventure with Takashi and Asmos. She watched as it was getting re-directed as well. It seems like any frontal attack, physical and spiritual, would just be bouncing off them. She wondered if it had something to do with the king they were after or what.

She then watched as Kagami took action. He touched his chest and it looked like he got covered with a mirror. It was an interesting technique. He walked up to their kangaroo and started talking. She wondered how the technique worked. Then, she looked over at the Arrancar group. It was amazing that the largest Arrancar had reiatsu strong enough to make the kangaroo afraid. But, she assumed what she was feeling now was just his regular presence and him just flexing his power was scary. She hoped that he wouldn't change his mind and come after them next.

[Deleted]

Vannan was so sure that his arrows would of done some damage to the hollow that he had already lowered his guard and his bow had vanished. The bolts of plasma still hovered there in the air in front of him still letting out the bright light that should blind everyone who looked at them. Which would be the case for himself if he wasn't wearing his special glasses. The heat coming off of of the plasma bolts warmed the air around them. The snow under his feet started to melt a bit as the radiant heat hit it.

Seeing that his arrows missed annoyed him. He was sure that he could hit that kangaroo hollow from where he was standing. His aim was great, yet it didn't work. He bit down on the bottom right corner of his lip annoyed at the fact that the hollow seemed to have either avoided or dodged all the attacks that came after it. It pissed him off, he took a step forward and started to gather the reiatsu under his feet to dash towards the hollow. That was till Kagami beat him to the punch.

Shaking his head turned to look at the other shinigami that was still next to him. “Ug I really hate hollows. So what are three shinigami's doing here, and don't tell me it's just a normal mission. There's nothing normal about this.” If he was going to keep on with this mission he wanted some answers. With Hotaru and Kagami away he was sure that he could get some information out of this silent shinigami. “The name's Vannan Harper. So want to tell me yours?” He extended his hand towards the shinigami, a smile across his face. The bolts of plasma started to fade away and the light with them.

[Deleted]

As Allen's tendrils of fear approached the monster, and dug into it, Allen could feel the monster flinch back for a moment. It clearly feared him. In fact, judging by that reaction, it feared him more than most things could. It's Will was nonexistent, and it's ability to suppress it's own fear was on par with Col Arana's, which is to say nonexistent. So why didn't it run? Allen met it's eyes, and he saw nothing but fear. It's body language suggested the same thing. Logically, there was only a few reasons that it wouldn't be running. A tech that kept it from doing so? Who would have placed that?

One of the kings. This thing was a minion of one of the kings, and it was scared of the king. Interesting. Did the King have other contingencies in place to make it less likely to fail it's mission? Allen stepped back slightly just as a Bala ented his frame of view, and flew directly at the kangaroo. That'd leave a mark. Well, it would have, if it had hit. Instead, it had curved at the last possible second, and not from any direct action of the kangaroo. Allen had practice in the art of reiatsu flexing, and knew in an instant that that wasn't what had happened. Instead, maybe a field of sorts? Likely didn't just apply to reiatsu. Perhaps it was the same technique that allowed it to resist his fear aura.

In that case, Allen really didn't want to bother with figuring out this things weaknesses. Instead, he also just threw a bala, like the Fraccion that had been following him. Although he'd noticed her before, he hadn't thought much of it. She'd been keeping a safe distance, and would die if she approached him directly. In any case, Allen's bala was different from the Fraccion. For starters, it was faster, given that Allen was closer to the Kangaroo the Kangaroo would have less time to dodge. In fact, no time, because Allen wasn't firing it at the Kangaroo.

Allen's bala was the size of most Arrancar's Ceros. It was bigger, actually. Probably was close in size to one of Kuroi Naito's smaller Ceros, in fact. It's raw destructive power was unimaginable. And Allen fired it at the building. More accurately, the half of the building that the kangaroo stood on. The Bala smashed into the roof, and instantly blew that side of the building off backwards. The raw force would create a shockwave in the air that would push the kangaroo back, even if he tried to react to the falling building. The attack was indirect enough that the forcefield shouldn't trigger. If it did, if the kangaroo came back up from this, Allen was going to be really fucking pissed.

Reaitsu: 3250/3300

[Noriko 'Asuka"]

<sub>Things were not turning out for the best. One of the black robed individuals stood by for a moment to what seemed to be observing the situation was now moving forward, while his friends were taking a pounding. Hehehe. Pounding. Anyways, all of the previous attacks that each of them had done went for nothing. A young woman with the same attire charged forward with the blinding light from the arrows did catch her off guard a bit, but was still able to see from the corner of her eyes how each of the blows were deflected. Shiryou could only make out tid bits and it was only thanks to Iraishins quick thinking to cover her eyes. So, she was able to see through the eyes of her twin to make out what had transpired.

The same result followed with the other Shinigami's little light show and with their own combined Bala. Everything seemed to be pushed aside to other locations, this irritated Shiryou, "HEY THUNDERTHIGHS. THAT IS CHEATING!" Her angry pout would be cut off by the sheer force of pressure coming from the nameless man to their far left side. From Iraishin's own thoughts she was quickly informed by the source of the pressure, although she could not define it as such. More like an eery feeling of gloom and fear pushing her small body down. Maybe the Kangaroo would feel the same after such display. Turning to glance at the bouncing Adjuchas she noticed the small hints of quivering from its discolored fur, but still, it remains indifferent to what it faces. Does bring a wonder to who this Mobius fella really is.

"Order. Shiryou, gather with the other two on the adjacent roof top. Go and meet with your 'friend' while I will take care of the female at the other building, but remain vigilant." That cool unoccupied voice trembles through the air as the two face the pair of beasts across from themselves. Iraishin must have been feeling the same uneasiness as Shiryou was. She knew Iraishin lacks the capability to express herself, but she can tell through their connection how unsettling their current situation is. She did not want to bring further worry to her sister, and so she followed as directed. A plus side to it, she would meet her new friend again.

The Fraccion leaped from her quiet spot to where the Shinigami and Quincy stood in place to only hear a howling of a irregular reiatsu build up. A moment later it led what would come to be a loud smash followed by a series to crumbling. She did not want to know what had happened nor what caused it. Could possible be from spiky head who was next to the twins before they split apart and really didn't care. Her attention is drawn to the two males in front of her, with one of them being someone she was familiar with, "Hi Hi again Mister." She chuckles slightly.</sub>

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

<sub>While Shiryou grouped with the pair her own focus will be on the female that was separated. Apparently she was flung over to crash into another building. She didn't see how much damaged the action had caused the female, but nonetheless, she investigated the scene. Across from the indented building she witnessed the woman rise up to her feet to make her way back to the group. Thankfully, she appeared to be unharmed or at least not to an extent to where her own abilities would be hindered. That was good.

Why would she care of the well being of that of their suppose enemies? The answer was simple really. To use them to achieve the end means of succeeding the mission parameters. With their own power, the twins will not be able to move on, but if they had allied themselves with others, then the possibility of success will grow more into their favor. Hopefully, everything will turn to their favor. The small Arrancar followed her from the roof tops to rejoin her group. Iraishin followed closely behind as much as she could, "Admiration. You must be someone strong to have stood from something like that."

Her white braided ponytail sways with the cold air as the pair make their way back. "Analysis. The enemy appears to be shielded by an unknown force. Perhaps by its other or by something else." Throughout this whole time Iraishin had been watching closely at the results of each other their own efforts to bring down such opponents. Physical and Reiatsu based attacks were merely being deflected away, along with how close they were to the sudden explosions. Her battle analysis would not have picked up on the first two attacks by the Shinigami's, but the Quincy and their own reiatsu attacks suffered the similar results. They were starting to take shape.

The Shinigami that remained to the rear made his move and was on to something, like to what Iraishin had been pondering about. She continued on to be led by the Shinigami until they had reached their destination, "Inquiry. Perhaps your friend that is ahead has the right idea. And perhaps. . . we should join forces." Her soft spoken lifeless voice hums through the air as the two girls group up with the others. Iraishin halts before closing the distance to the group to side herself with her twin, opening her energy sensory to focus them on the explosions to find the connection with them and the two Adjuchas.</sub>

Remaining Reiatsu: 1750/1800

[Takashi Kuchiki]

(interesting paths you have chosen, all of you. I am quite intrigued as how this will play out and I'm glad you're scratching your heads. Though I must admit, idle posts make for idle time; think of that. Though if you're activity doing/planning something, props. In any case, excuse my absence from before. I have finally returned from Holland yesterday, but have some Laryngitis and serious jet lag. In any case...)

The Kangaroo on Kagami's side would be bouncing up and down. It looked towards the others, blinking...well it would have if it had eyes you could see. Anyway, it was watching the others as they seemed to all regroup and not do much. The others simply were planning perhaps; oh well it didn't bother him. What did bother him however, was the strange breathing noise he heard. It was then that he could see someone that was coated in..something. He wasn't sure what he did but it seemed like something happened to him. It was then that the man appeared close to him. It was Kagami who didn't show any real hostility as he walked past the Kangaroo. The man told him a hello and began walking towards where the initial explosion occurred. The kangaroo scratched his head with his glove as the man made the statement. He was in deep thought if it was okay to let Kagami go or not. He realized that he said the man wouldn't go any further. With that, he simply let out a cry and punched forward with his left boxing glove hand as Kagami walked past. The intent of the hollow was to punch the man in the stomach.

Meanwhile, it was the Kangaroo on Allen's side that would be most surprised. There was a large blast which came quickly. The blast would desolate the building on which it stood. The blast rang out and caused a rather strong shockwave. The shockwave would push the Kangaroo upwards and back. Luckily, he pushed off one of the large boulders that were made from the blast. However, the attack rang out and caused the Kangaroo to push back; flying like a projectile through the air. It soon landed upon a building behind it, tumbling like a rag doll. It eventually stopped towards the end and after a moment, it put its gloves on the ground and lifted itself up. The creature did seem like it was damaged a bit, that attack was creative. Anyway, it shook its head and continued boxing, so that was how it was going to be huh? It was then that the Kangaroo muttered some inspirational things to itself. To all those that could hear, it was like someone giving themselves a pep talk. With that, he rushed forward towards the man. If he reached his destination, he was inclined to punched towards the man with his right hand. All the while, a bala would be forming at the bottom of his mask, ready to fire.

(OOC: Others just keep doing what you're doing with interacting and what have you. Also, link your techniques if you can, it helps a tonnn. Lastly, Kangaroo has a 2 in Boxing and you all have fun. I really do like seeing you all interacting more and playing to your characters. I'll post longer when more people give me things to do, directly interacting and such.)

[Douma]

(( OOC: Sorry for the length, or lack of length as I should say. ))

Kagami had intentionally set up a perfect opening for the boxing kangaroo to take, and the Australian took the bait. At least Kagami assumed that it was Australian. What type of kangaroo isn’t Australian? Anyway, just as the kangaroo’s first was going to connect with the Vice Captain, a jade blade shot out of the reflective layer over his abdomen to meet the punch. Kagami assumed that whatever shield was protecting the kangaroo would go down when it made an attack, allowing it’s punches to contact the target. The plan was for the hollow to punch the tip of the blade, and it wouldn’t be able to pull its fist back in time to avoid the razor sharp tip. Kagami could just hope that he didn’t go flying backwards for whatever reason. Hotaru didn’t make it look very fun.

Speaking of Hotaru, Kagami felt her reiatsu signature by the remainder of the group. She had returned safely, which was the only request the Lieutenant had for at the moment. No one seemed to be in any danger, and if Kagami took care of the kangaroo, the group would be able to move on. However, there was still the issue of the second group from Las Noches. Of course the twins were there, that couldn’t be ignored. However, what really threatened Kagami was that immense bala that the powerful Arrancar created. It was larger than most Ceros the Vice Captain had seen except for the crimson blast produced by Col. That was also uniquely large. On top of the immense power behind the technique, Kagami also felt the faint spiritual presence of the humans in the building that Allen destroyed vanish. About fifteen died in the attack, and Kagami was forced to uphold Soul Society policy by protecting civilians and minimizing human casualties. He made a mental note to pull the big scary Arrancar to the side for a small talk after they took care of the Australians. That conversation would definitely go well.
[/b]

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Once Hotaru returned, she watched everything start to unfold. She looked and watched the Arrancar blow up half of a building to try to get rid of the kangaroo. The blast was probably the largest bala she has ever seen before, so this Arrancar's strength and power was obviously enormous. But, what really surprised her was the fact that the Kangaroo didn't die. She felt bad for the people in the building that perished for his needless destruction, but she would've thought the Kangaroo died from the explosion.

Then, she saw that a pair of Arrancar, that seemed to be attached together with chains, came over to their group and was thinking that it would be a good idea to join forces. It made sense to her, since it was a common enemy. But, she didn't know how they would react within their group. Before she addressed them, she saw her Vice-Captain walk up to the kangaroo with some kind of sheen all over his body. She had no idea what kind of technique it was, but she hoped it would do something against these beasts.

It seemed that Kagami made the Kangaroo mad enough to strike out at him. Right when it struck out, however, a sword shot out of Kagami's body, aiming to hit the kangaroo in the glove. She figured he thought that while the Kangaroo was attacking, it wouldn't have its protection up. It was a good idea. She would've joined in the attack, but she knew she wasn't fast enough to jump in and try to attack the same area as him before the kangaroo would've withdrawn. So, she stood there, debating on what she could actually do to help out.

She then looked over to the Arrancars. She felt strong reiatsu from them, so they had to be ranked in their system. When she brought up the fact of joining forces, she thought it would be a good idea, but she wasn't going to let her guard down. "I do think it would be a good idea for us to join forces against a common enemy, but I will keep an eye on the two of you. You might be allies now, but you never know when something could happen and you change your mind." She then looked away, but kept them in her peripheral vision.

[Asen Mahawa]

All of this time gave Asen enough time to strategize or rather put something together that might be a good one. However with Kagami next to it he had to recaculate on what he needs to do. He notices the Arrancar had started to come over as well for one he can sense their presence clearer now that they're close enough and two he can see them from the corner of his left eye. Normally he would've automatically assumed that they're enemies, but if they were enemies that big guy over there that's wrecking the building would've annihilated them by now. Plus the two that seems to be attached with chains probably would've rained down Balas at them if they wanted. Instead they were going for the kangaroos.

"Oooo, an Arrancar..." Augatsol spoke in his head as he could feel a dark and sinister presence coming from his zanpakutou. He mentally shook his head as he knew exactly what his zanpakutou wanted and it wasn't going to happen this time. "No sister, this is a bad time to be craving for such things." Nardras spoke up for him as Augatsol has a sick mindset to want to be coated in Hollow Blood. It can't helped though, for in truth that is how he views Hollows for he personally hates them, but he's not stupid either. "Aww come on... Just a little slice?" Augatsol whined to the two. Thankfully both Asen and Nardras are against Augatsol's desires on this one. It was probably a really good idea that he didn't draw out his zanpakutous now, though he does feel comforted that he has both blades at his side. "For the second time, no. You know all too well how bad it would be if we attack the Arrancars especially when one of them is hell of a lot more powerful than we are."

That Asen decided to hell with it, Kagami can sense Reiatsu anyways so it wouldn't affect him at least Asen hope so anyway. He aimed the palm of his hand to the kangaroo's direction. He uses his speed to the maximum (113) and unleashes a somewhat complicated and hopefully an effective strategy. He arcs his five fingers at the kanagroo before he does the following. 'Horin. Horin. Horin. Horin. Horin. Sekienton!' He does this in a quick and rapid succession as exactly five orange tendrils of Reiatsu spirals out of five of his fingers and since his fingers were arced towards the kangaroo they go towards him. At the same time the area around the kangaroo is suddenly enulfed in red smoke. The second the Kido takes place into existence he was already casting another Kido.

"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" Asen then suddenly vanished only to appear above the kangaroo as his eyes locked on to the kangaroo's Reiatsu so that even if it dodged he would be able to sense it hopefully and aimed his palm at it down below even with the smoke now there. 'Sokatsui!' A raging ball of blue flames bursts from the palm of Asen's hand to crash into the kangaroo with a strong impact as well as the strong possiblity to cause 1rst degree burns. Of course this just drained the living crap out of him, but if it goes well it'll be worth it. At least the kangaroo's attention might be driven off Kagami and might also allow others to score a hit maybe. So either way it'll be a win win on this one unless whatever blocked Asen's Byakurai earlier could block all of this. Asen's theory that Mobius is somewhere either near or far, either way he had either to be in view of the battle and shields his pawns. Obviously that part was Mobius's doing, the only question is to how to prevent Mobius from aiding these Hollows.

Horin x5 - 125

Sekienton - 50

Shunpo - 50

Sokatsui - 100 (Boosted RS 20%: 276)

Total Reiatsu: 1350/1700

His attention turned to the loud explosion that completely destroyed an entire building under the kangaroo. He knew one thing, he didn't want to get on the bad side of whatever caused that large explosion. What or whoever could do that at a moments notice was terrifying, however maybe he could make a deal if his life was ever in danger. Surely he had something to offer that was worth of high value. What really struck him as odd was that the kangaroo seemed almost unfazed by the explosion and went straight after the male arrancar he didn't know. If that male arrancar was responsible for that explosion he would be on the list of people to avoid for a long time.

Turning back to look at the shingami who was their with him before he waited to hear what the response would be to his questions. However by the time he had turned back around the shingami was gone. Rude, very rude the guy could of at least answered me once before disappearing on me. If it wasn't for Hotaru I would of left a long time ago. God are all shigami so rude like those two? Cold weather was nice, however he liked to watch the cold weather from inside wrapped up and cuddling with some cute girl, not standing outside fighting hollows.

"Hi Hi again Mister."

That voice made him smile and turn around, he thought that the two female figures he saw before looked fimilar and he was right it was the twins he encountered at the beach before, well one of them however he figured that the other one was around here somewhere. Stepping closer to Shiryou he wrapped his arms around her making sure that his hands didn't touch her bare skin. He hugged her for a moment protected by the long clothing he was wearing. No skin to skin contact happened while he held her in his arms. He pulled away slowly and kept his smile, looking up and down at her noticing the lack of warm clothing she had on.

“It's nice to see you again Shiryou, cutie, but aren't you cold just wearing that?”

He pointed to her lack of clothing. While it made for an impressive show of her beauty it really didn't offer much in the way of keeping her warm. “Tell you what if you feel cold you can just keep close to me and I'll keep you warm, just don't let our skin touch. I don't like having my flesh melt away, though if it's you causing it I might not mind it so much.” He winked at her as he spoke his last words and turned his attention back to the pair of kangaroo hollows that were now fighting everyone. He didn't want to do any more moves without knowing that he could harm them, however he should help them out a bit.

With his left arm around the waist of Shiryou, his hand not touching her body he raised up his right hand and formed a small bow in it from there he fired out three arrows. In mid flight he had the arrows split in half and then once more. These arrows were aimed at the hollow that was currently by kagami and the other silent shigami. The moment they got close to that hollow he would have all twelve of them explode at once all around that kangaroo freak. He hoped that if the attacks were missing then maybe something that causes an explosion would hit.

(ooc: Remaining reiatsu 2880/3750 – 90 for three class five arrows – 45 for the first split – 90 for the second split -360 for exploding arrows 585 total cost )

As the building exploded backwards in a symphony of destruction and violence, Allen couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to set some of his battles to Fall Out Boy. No, seriously. It could work really well. Like, imagine if when he blew this Kangaroo to Kingdom Come, the soothing voice of Patrick Stump rang out, singing about how "We don't fight fair". Worth considering for future reference, at least. Maybe a theme song? He could probably convince Miranda, Rey, and Axis to vote in favor of it. 

Regardless, there were actually important matters to attend to. The Kangaroo seemed to almost recover from the shockwave using some acrobatic skills, but unfortunately for it, Allen's reiatsu was overwhelming. It was flung into the building behind it like a rag doll, and Allen began to turn away, looking towards the other fight that appeared to be breaking out on the street, between the group of Shinigamis and the other Kangaroo. However, he stopped when he realized that the Kangaroo wasn't dead.

It was lifting itself up, and wasn't even dead yet. Really? This thing was fucking tenacious. And then it did something catastrophically stupid. Instead of running, or even just going after one of the Shinigamis, it actually tried to engage Allen. It ran at him, and given Allen's battle analysis capabilities, and the fact that he knew that the creature was a boxer of some kind, Allen was well aware of the most likely move: standard right hook directed at his face. So, despite the speed difference, he was capable of countering.

What did Allen do to counter? Well, as the Kangaroo was midswing, Allen's stance changed. His hand launched out, palm flat, and caught the Kanagroo's fist dead on. Sure, the Kangaroo was strong. But Allen's Hierro was two and two thirds times stronger than him. Allen wasn't going to attack the Kangaroo, rather just let it attack him. And the differential was obvious. The Kangaroo's hand would instantly shatter, like a teenager trying to punch a concrete wall. "I fucking told you, Jack, don't waste my time."
