Meeting Between Hollows (Aurora/Maximus)

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora was out in the sands again. It seemed like she always found herself in the sands, just wandering around for no reason. Though, if she had to admit it, she found herself in the sands actually walking more towards the forest now. Ever since she had met Zegram, fought with him and started to have feelings for him, she found herself wandering towards the first place she really spent time with him, which was the forest. She assumed he lived there.

She made her way through the sands, keeping on the lookout for any stray hollows that might cross her path. She didn't really know why she felt drawn towards the forest when she had any free time, but then she remembered what Zegram told her. Something about love driving someone towards another. She didn't really know about that, but every time she thought about the times they spent together, she feels a weird warmth radiating out from her core.

She guessed that she was right in calling him her mate... Then, she sniffed something in the air and her mood immediately changed. She went into a hunter mode. She smelled a hollow close by. She was glad he was by the forest, it would give her a little more cover to sneak up on the idiot. She ran and saw a hollow near the border of the forest. She gave the hollow a wide berth, using her speed to quickly run into the forest. Once she was in the forest, she snuck up on the hollow, using trees for cover, waiting for her moment to strike.

His light and glowing blue eyes peered around the forest. The giant Vasto Lordes walked down the forest as if he was a loner. Vastos are known to be the final evolution and don't require a hunger... He was 7'5 and weighed so much of muscles. He looked like a big body builder with strong pecks and big arms and heavy legs... He had a 6 pack on him with his legs all the way up to the calves covered in a white coat of fur strangely. His hollow hole was at the center of his chest and his mask was rather unique. His jaw was replaced by a bear's jaw but his top skull looked human. He had soft blue glowing eyes with white medium hair. He also had more fur on his arms but his fingers looked human too. He was resembling a true Vasto indeed. Just what did his animal form represent? Possibly, a big Polar bear.

He slowly stopped and smelled the air. Something was lurking around. He'd growl heavily and roars a mighty roar! A roar so fearsome that it could shake the ground. Soon enough, he cracked his arms and brought out his fists, white claws came out between his fingers and as soon as his aggression rose, the sands below his feet appear to freeze below him. The eyes of this mighty predator just looks too scary for most to see. He roars once more, "Come face your fate! I can smell you... If you appear before me, this won't have to be messy!" he said while his jaw doesn't move. His muscles bodged like he was a badass. He was ready to take on anything!

[Aurora Guerrero]

While Aurora was behind a tree, trying to get her bearings on this furry man, he called out to her. It seemed that his nose worked just as good as hers. When he said that it wouldn't be messy, she laughed to herself. Oh how wrong he was going to be. He was just a mere hollow. He would have no chance against her. So, she walked out from behind the tree and walked towards this hollow. She let her nose sniff the air again, trying to get a better feel for him. She did get a sense of what he actually was. It was starting to become a little quirk of hers.

She got a few feet away and just stared at him. "Hello Bear Man. It seems that you think you can beat one of your betters. You should know better, but you are still a Hollow. So, you say that this won't be messy. I'm curious to see after what I said if you want it to remain that way now." She glared up at the bear man and growled at him, pulling her fingerless gloves tight. She was ready in case he wanted to fight her, but she was more curious to see how he would react if he didn't fight her.

[Primal]

He senses the figure slowly walk out... An arrancar in the wilderness? How unusual is that, he'd thought. The ice below his feet slowly faded as she laughed at him. He gave her a glare that really shows that he didn't give a fly... Oh, but she was quite cocky. She claimed she was the superior one over him, how wrong is she...

A vasto is also said to be a huge challenge to a captain of the 13 court guard squad. He retracts his claws and slowly relaxes, his muscles so big and strong he looked down at her. Suddenly, he did the unthinkable. He released strong amounts of energy in the air that made it so thick and hard to breathe. This was no mere hollow, this was a hollow that has been through shit. He released enough energy around to kill wild hollows that were minding their own business. The arrancar could tremble possibly but not to bad if could she handle it. He spoke in his deep voice, "I do not wish to fight you arrancar. I only see you as more of my blood then my enemy. Ease yourself, tiger." He'd calmly ask her

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora stood in front of this hollow. He was big and the muscles made him look powerful. But, she was more into stealth. She could hide, run in and hit him quickly, with her strength and then hide again to beat him. She wasn't that concerned about defending herself. Her power could speak for itself. But, she had not seen a hollow like this in quite some time. She remembered seeing a form like this before she herself broke her own mask and become an Arrancar. This guy was interesting to say the least. She continued to glare at him.

It was then that he let out some of his reiatsu. She did have to admit that his power was strong. She felt the other hollows wandering around in the forest dying. She growled, knowing that it would take her longer to find a meal now. She did have to give it to this one, he was strong. He was strong enough to actually give her a little bit of problem breathing, but nothing more than that. She used her own reiatsu to counterbalance his. He said that he didn't wish to fight, she was more his blood than an enemy. He then said to ease herself. "I am Rage, bear man! I don't get much calmer than what you see now."

[Primal]

Oh... He could just feel that weak energy she release come out of her. He slowly sighed and gripped his fist, now actually trying to release all his energy out. The air was now becoming impossible to breathe for her. It was as if he was as powerful as an Espada. His eyes glowed light blue once more and he roared so loud. The air was vibrating but oddly his hollowfied mouth opened when he roared. In the distance you could hear Gillians crying out as if they were dying. He was pissed off that she wouldn't see a reason to leave the big bear at peace. He luckily didn't have the powers of an Arrancar to fight but he continued to roar so loud. Her ears and lungs must feel heavy.

Finally, after he roars for over a minute, he stops and the energy continues to be so heavy. "Tiger, you are not to mess with a Vasto. There are only a few of us existing for a reason. That reason is because we are the strongest to survive the food chain. I can see more reason then you do, 'Rage'. Tell me, is that your aspect of death that your king assigns you all? I honestly do find those amusing." he'd tell her the air being so heavy for her still. He'd look down at her, not showing any emotion at all.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Then, he released all of his energy. It did remind her of her Espada, Sargon. He was the Tercera and his reiatsu was impressive. So, he was the equivalent of an Espada. It was very interesting indeed. He wasn't as strong as the Tercera, but she could tell that he was on a different tier of power than her. It really didn't make any difference to her, she challenged everyone to fight. She had even challenged Zegram to a fight and what happened from that was very good for her. She was having difficulty breathing and when he roared, it was impressive.

He roared so loud and long, she thought maybe he showed off his roar to make up for something. With that thought, she chuckled, but it barely came out due to the strength of reiatsu pushing down on her. Once he was finished, she just stood there listening. She continued to growl low in her throat, now more out of habit than anything else. She pretty much ignored the first half of what he said, only to catch that he was one of the strongest to survive the food chain. The sentence piqued her interest for sure.

She was pretty sure that Arrancar were the strongest. She would have to ask. He then asked if that was the aspect of death the king assigned. "No, bear man. It was how I died. I died with rage and has used the power of that rage to defeat my enemies and become an Arrancar. Though, how can Vasto Lorde be the strongest in the food chain when there are Arrancar running around in the sands and in the forest? I was under the impression that Arrancar were the strongest and what all hollows aimed to become."

[Primal]

"Rage is your literally your aspect of death, you say...?" and just like that, the air became loose and easy. He looked down at her rather, interested... "If I could give myself an Aspect of Death... I would consider myself 'Pride'... Why would you ask?" he says before chuckling to himself. "When I lost everything, my sister and my family... I was alone in that shithole of a foster home... The kids would always pick on me. One day, I got sick of their shit and started biting them, beating them, and even knocking a kid's tooth out. They were all weak after and I felt so much damn Pride! Sadly... I was 12 when my death hits me... I ran out into the road without looking and suddenly a car just hits me... The bastard kept going and I was laying there in so much agony the kids saw me... I cried for help and my Pride was so broken. Sadly, they never cared and walked away."

He'd explain her this horrific story, like it was nothing to him. No tears, no sadness, nothing. "Pride is something I should have never been but sure enough I'm a damn hypocrite to say. Vasto Lorde are the strongest 'natural' beings... I am natural, you are simply a creation that was buffed more. Yes, all hollows aim to become strong but who needs to be a damned Arrancar when I reached my evolution! I'm a Vasto Lordes! Something, YOU couldn't do." he said, chuckling at her as if she was weak. "Do you feel 'proud' to be an arrancar? If I became an arrancar, I bet I could fight ten of you and I'd still win!" he turns from chuckling to laughter. He was just laughing at her as if she was the weak one here. "Ohhhh, is someone getting mad? Well, I'm sorry you're the weak one here. You wanna throw a swing at me? Go for it, Rage. Let that aspect show you why you died. I dare you..." he said, taunting her to make the first strike.

[Aurora Guerrero]

She felt the power loosen around her and when he said Pride, it immediately made her think of Sargon. He pretty much took on the physical form of Pride, not wanting the unworthy to touch him. She then stood and listened to this hollow's story. She was impressed that he even remembered his human life. It was so long ago for her that she barely remembered it. She only picked up feelings about it, nothing else. She knew that she had a few memories when she first turned that she still remembered, like the sword was hers when she was alive. But, that was really the only thing she was sure of anymore.

He then continued to say how 'prideful' he was. She honestly didn't give two shits about it, but she was listening anyway. He was pretty much saying that Vasto Lorde was better because they were more natural. He then started to egg her on. Her hands went into fists when he threw the first verbal punch. When he said that if he changed to an Arrancar he could still win against ten of her. At that point, her hands were shaking with rage. He then dared her to fight. Oh, she was livid now. You could see the rage on her face and she was growling at him.

But, she thought back to what Sargon had helped her with. He told her there was no need to be angry all the time, especially if she wanted to get training from him in the first place. Then, she thought back to Zegram, how being around him eased her rage to the point of being tolerable and even almost to the point of not having any rage at all. She was at peace with him. So, now thinking a little more clearly, there had to be a reason he wanted her to throw the first punch. "You know what? You're not worth the time or effort for me to fight. I have better uses of my time."
