Is that a Sasquatch? (Training Thread, R, Zeferoth/Natsumi)

[Natsumi Yoshimora]

Natsumi had eaten her lunch once more. Mmmmmm~. MEAT LOAF WAS THE BEST! She was filled up as she was walking out of the Seireitei, and she was kinda in the mood to just wonder about and enjoy her time in nature. Well, she was going to go for it! It was kinda bright out for poor Natsumi's eyes but she didn't seem to care all that much for it. She slowly traveled into the wilderness of the... WILDERNESS! Funny title right? Wilderness... of the wilderness? Strange Natsumi was thinking. That voice was passing by in her head, "You're too jolly for your own good... You should seriously stop being such an idiot,"

That made Natsumi kinda giggle, "Why should I be so grumpy when it's nice outside," she asked her Zanpakuto spirit. "Little fucking kid... One of these days I'm going to corrupt that 'pure' and 'innocent' soul and make us one like HOW IT SHOULD BE!!" and that's when she just giggled away, "Now, now... There's no need to be so grumpy today! How about we watch the sun, Mr. Zanpakuto!" she said with an excited tone. "You're too pathetic," but this made Natsumi simply shrug it off.

She skipped about in the woods, when it came to her mind that she was actually going a little far... No matter! She knew her way back and she even had Shunpo to help her out some! However, something else may be coming in mind. There she saw it... Him... IT WAS HER OLD FRIEND! They actually went together through a quest for a Rebellion not to long ago, so she knew him. "MISTER BIGFOOT! HIIIIIIYAAAAA~!!" and so that's when the two will get together to train... Or... Something else? She smiled at him, waving softly at him from a distance. It was time for Zef to do something now...

Zeferoth stayed low in the grass trying to keep himself hidden from his prey. He had been after this particular prey for most of the afternoon now and was ready for his lunch. He licked his lips as he pulled his large arms and legs closer to his body in preparation to spring into action. He was decently skilled in stealth, so he was able to position himself closer and closer to his prey without scaring it away. He was about to strike when someone called him scaring his prey away.

"MISTER BIGFOOT! HIIIIIIYAAAAA~!!" Zeferoth growled at the loss of his prey, but he did recognize the voice of the girl. He turned and saw Natsumi the black two legger that he had worked with in the two legger's den. He had not seen her in a while. She proved to be pretty nice and amusing for a black two legger, so it wasn't a complete irritation that she happened to find him in the middle of the hunt. He still did not understand the name she called him. 

"Natsumi, name is Zeferoth not Bigfoot. Feet may be big, but not my name." He said in a low growling voice. It wasn't threatening in the slightest just the way he sounded still trying to get used to really speaking to people. He had been spending more and more time with the two leggers either on purpose or by accident. These exchanges widely varied, but he was starting to get used to being around people very slowly.

[Natsumi Yoshimora]

Natsumi watched him come out as she the animal run off... She frowned a bit, looking up at Zeferoth. He gave her a passive growl and told her that Mister Bigfoot was not good! She would frown more and pout, "But I love calling you Mister Bigfoot! It was fun to call you that during our adventure!" and so she would smile once more. Wait... HE MUST BE HUNGRY! She hatched an idea in her head, searching through her pockets. It was wrapped up meatloaf in a plastic bag and she would walk up, grabbing his hand gently, giving him the meatloaf.

Indeed, Natsumi had no fear of the beast because she knew him before after all. She smiled and made his fingers grip it, "It's meatloaf! I was gonna save it for later but you seem to be the hungry one here, please take it," she said with a warm smile. She would back up and look up at him, possibly watching him sniffing on the food and evil biting into it or whatever. She slowly smiled and closed her eyes, "So what are you doing out here all alone, Mister Bigfoot? I could have sworn you had other furry friends around, don't you?" she asked Zeferoth, looking up to him once more.

Natsumi actually liked Zeferoth as a close friend. He was unique to her because of his beastly looks and she actually found him like a teddy bear in her eyes. Even though... He's literally a honey badger! She'd actually be glad to find him here because being alone in these woods would probably be bad anyways. She liked being alone sometimes and this was supposed to be that moment but since she found Zeferoth wandering around or 'hunting' that changed quickly because now she had a friend to be with!

[Deleted]

"But I love calling you Mister Bigfoot! It was fun to call you that during our adventure!" Just the way she said that to the large animal man, and the little pout she used were all part of her charm that Zeferoth was growing more fond of. He may still have many habits and mannerisms of an animal, but that did not mean that he was heartless. He chuckled lightly. It was a deep growling noise, but it was different sounding than his growl of annoyance. 

He was less annoyed that she caused his meal to escape, but what she did next surprised the big beast man. She reached into her pocket and handed him some food she was carrying around. She practically forced him to take it which would have looked hilarious to anyone watching them. She told him that it was something called meatloaf. He didn't know what kind of animal a meatloaf was, but he figured that it would be the two legger thing to take it.

He devoured it greedily. He was an animal still and one with a reputation of being aggressive in just about any action that it took. He was also very hungry which really didn't help. He devoured the small amount of meat quickly. It was OK to the honey badger. He swallowed it all in pretty much one mouth full. He was still pretty hungry, but he would not complain with Natsumi around. He smiled and nodded his thanks to the girl. 

"So what are you doing out here all alone, Mister Bigfoot? I could have sworn you had other furry friends around, don't you?" He was sure that she was going to stick with that name, and there was no getting her out of it. He focused on the question that she was asking. He would have thought that it would be obvious why he was out here. Zeferoth then thought that maybe not many two leggers were knowledgeable let alone interested in beast clan habits. 

"I hunting," He said said, as if it was obvious. "I live here too." He said gesturing the the whole area around them. It was not just this area that he called his territory. He never stayed in one place for too long. Prey would move on and he would have to fallow to avoid causing too much trouble with the two leggers. He turned to her with a curios look in his orange eyes. "What about you? Why you here?"

[Natsumi Yoshimora]

Natsumi watched in amazement as he was talking to her with his hands gesturing the whole area. This was all his home? This is a pretty big hoooome~... She looked up at him smiling, "Wow, you have a large area to hunt around," she said to him. He was obviously living here because of the prey that would lurk around here. He would look down at her and ask a question she knew he'd ask. She would smile at him, and close her eyes as she was speaking, "Oh... I just came out here to practice my kido but that can be put aside because I found you!"

She'd quickly stretch her body, "Yup! I just happen to find you here hunting and such that maybe now I can hang out with you... WAIT! You mentioned you were hunting something Mister Bigfoot? Why don't I help you and use my Kido to help you to hunt? It's long range and plus I could catch them easily," she explained to him, wanting to help him catch himself some food. "Maybe we can we have the animal together or something? I'm still a bit hungry myself,"

She looked up still at him, obviously nice enough to help him out with this task. She was a very gentle soul but she was willing to hunt an animal for survival and even for a friend. She was usually the type that didn't really seem to mind but sometimes she'd get scared of killing something because of their blood getting all over her or something like that. She was silly like that but she was also a girl so she was expected to be scared of small stuff like that! She would start thinking about it but it wasn't too much.

She'd ask once more, "Well, what do you think Mister Bigfoot? How about we get the animal together?" she asked once more with a smile. She was eager now at this with asking again. She knew that maybe this wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. However, the question she kept to herself was... What was he hunting after all? Was it another Beast-man or just a simple animal running around here and grazing on the grass or something? The question kinda idly flown around here head but she was being polite about it and not asking him such difficult questions that maybe he wouldn't understand.

She kept her zanpakuto close to her side, and was ready to go right at it! She also had her kido to back her up against this animal to hunt against. Overall, she was ready NOW!!! Wait, what? Let's not get too exciting Natsumi! She would continue to stand there though until he'd say something, probably going with yes let's go makes her excited. This would be where she'd jump up and get all excited, eager to help a friend out. However, if he'd say no, she'd go awww, and pout even. Oh well, maybe next time? It all depends on her furry friend's feelings in his tummy!

[Deleted]

"Oh... I just came out here to practice my kido but that can be put aside because I found you!" Zeferoth was some what familiar with the word that she used. He had seen black two leggers able to shoot lighting and fire from their hands when fighting the white beasts. It seemed interesting to him, but he still much preferred to take down the white beasts with his bare claws than any fancy trick. It also seemed that she had found him by accident, so he could forgive her for scaring away his prey.

"Yup! I just happen to find you here hunting and such that maybe now I can hang out with you... WAIT! You mentioned you were hunting something Mister Bigfoot? Why don't I help you and use my Kido to help you to hunt? It's long range and plus I could catch them easily. Maybe we can we have the animal together or something? I'm still a bit hungry myself," Zeferoth thought about her offer. It would make more sense for them to work together. Less energy would be used that way, and it would help them both out.

"Well, what do you think Mister Bigfoot? How about we get the animal together?" Zeferoth did note how enthusiastic she was for the hunt. This just made him laugh louder and widen his smile. "OK, we can hunt together. Just stay close and do as I do." He said standing up to his full intimidating seven foot tall height. He headed out into the trees sniffing the air and ground as he walked. He needed to find a trail or the scent. 

It took several moments of tracking to get a scent, but it wasn't his former prey that he was picking up. It was something else entirely. He stopped and looked back at her concern in his eyes. "White beasts, many of them by the smell." He said in a hush whisper. He did not know how much experience she had in fighting white beasts, but he knew he can take down a few of them by himself. It was up to her to decide what to do now.

[Natsumi Yoshimora]

"Yaaaaaaaaaaay~!" she said in joy. They can hunt stuff together! She quickly crouched low and tried to hold her excitement. She was eager to test her kido out on some wild animals to show her power. She was so thrilled and excited! She would quickly get behind her furry friend, "Lead the way mister Bigfoot!" and that's when their small episodic adventure began. She'd follow behind him, even watching him sniff the air for the animal's scent. She was kinda curious on how he can do that... She would close her eyes, trying to detect things around them... Nothing.

Still they continued on for awhile as they searched all around for animals too hunt. It seemed so out of luck that Natsumi was kinda getting bored of this hunting game. She was about to sit down and take a long break when suddenly, he moves ahead. She quickly grew a bit panicked, "Wait up Mister Bigfoot!" and so she sprinted off, catching her breathe. She continued to follow him through the epic woods, seemingly like a journey in some adventure movie. He would stop and smell hollows.

At first she had no clue what he meant by white beasts, for all she knew they could of been Vanden Reich but suddenly her eyes would widen as she felt that immense spiritual pressure. There had to be over two dozen of them. It also seemed like there was a bigger one too... She was confused to what this other being was but whoever it was, it was certainly a hollow. She sat down behind a huge log where Zef was looking over the log, "They must be behind all those trees mister Bigfoot... I don't know why but I think there's something odd about that hollow group in particular..." she said.

She sat there wondering about the situation and she could sense they weren't even moving there, rather idly awaiting there like they were camping or something. "Mister Bigfoot, I think these hollows have a leader..." she explained to him. It was rather unclear for sure but there were mainly just minor and weak hollows. "I don't know why but I can actually sense the weaker ones from the stronger ones. There's a lot of weaker ones but I can sense at least two to three stronger ones with one being really strong... I'm not sure if we can do this," she said in a sigh.

She had continued thinking this over. This was Zeferoth's home and other creature's homes. Hollows roaming the Soul Society was a suicide mission to them like a Shinigami roaming Hueco Mundo but these guys brought a pack to hopefully survive most attacks. She had two choices out of this... Go in there with Zeferoth and take on all the hollows or send a butterfly back to the Seireitei and contact Kagami to send a force over here. Thoughts were going through her head.

She stood up, walking back and forth for a moment. Perhaps this would give Zeferoth's own time to think things over as well. It was certainly something they had to think of. Natsumi knew it may be best to send a butterfly over back to home and bring in backup but why not fight the hollows until backup arrives? She had a think through this carefully and managed to create a perfect plan for this. She would turn her neck and form a circle with her fingers. She had the plan all fit together for this situation.

She put the fingers gently in her mouth and whistled really loudly. At first this may concern Zeferoth because the hollows may hear this but Natsumi wasn't at all worried about it. Within a tree, a small hell butterfly would gently fly down from the heavens, with Natsumi slowly letting a finger out to let the peaceful creature land on her finger. She would watch it as it landed softly on her finger. This was truly a beautiful little butterfly, Zeferoth too may be amazed by this little creature. She kinda chuckled due to the situation, "I've never done this before but I remember my captain saying use this if there's ever an emergency..."

Without further moments, she cleared her throat and the hell butterfly's antennas would pick up, "Kagami... this is Natsumi and I have an urgent warning. My friend and I have discovered a large pack of hollows within the Wilderness that are shockingly dangerous with powers. I'm not sure if... there's an arrancar within the pack but I know for sure there's over two dozen of them. I don't know what we can do about this but I really need back up, now... I'm with my friend Zeferoth who's a Beast-man. DO NOT and I mean it, onni-chan... DO NOT hurt my FRIEND. He's really sweet and isn't mean at all."

She said this all so serious for once... Actually referring to Zeferoth by his name. It was all serious for both of them and she and him had to get serious towards the situation. Natsumi continued, "Please send reinforcements to the Hell butterfly's path. We may need a lot of help for this, I can sense at least three upper hollows in this group and it just seems weird for them to be here. Please come, onni-chan... I love you, please... Come soon..." and that's when she lifted her finger up and that's when the sudden shockwave would be felt gently in her soul and even Zeferoth's. It was like this very moment was being recorded by the hell butterfly. 

The hell butterfly slowly lifted off her finger and gently flew in the woods, never to be seen again. She'd put her hand gently down. She turned towards Zeferoth, "Mister Bigfoot this may sound crazy but... with your strength and my kido, I think we can go into this together and fend off the hollows until the others come here to help deal with this," this may sound just too insane for even Zeferoth maybe. She'd turn around away from him and speak once more, "We need to deal with these hollows because they'll be threatening everything around here and that's something we cannot allow..."

She would turn towards him once again, "If we let them go and group of my comrades come in, they'll pick it up quickly and leave the area. I think it's certainly for the best we hold them off until they arrive to finish them off. How about it Mister Bigfoot, will you help me fend these hollows off so they won't destroy OUR home?" and that's when Zeferoth could take his sweet time thinking about this all. It may be hard for him but as he thought of earlier, he can take on several hollows at once if he had too. 

As soon as Zeferoth gives her a yes or anything positive, she smiles, "Okay... Let's brainstorm here. There's over two dozen of them and we have kido and pure strength on our side. I think if we take on at least a dozen maybe we can deal with those stronger ones last until backup arrives. We both together can fight the stronger ones while we individually fight the weaker hollows," she says getting her thoughts together on all this. It was rather a great plan but a great plan such as this has its own cons.

What if a majority of hollows focus on one of them and overwhelms that one person. What if the stronger ones assisted the weaker ones? Above all, what if... What if, an arrancar was the strongest one in the group? These thoughts went through Natsumi's head but probably also Zeferoth's head. These possibilities were probably highly in the possible ranges but hollows were usually mindless in most cases and tend to rely on numbers when fighting small numbered individuals. Indeed, this would certainly be the case for these two.

Natsumi took a huge deep breathe, "Alright, I think we have our plan all set and together. Mister Bigfoot, if you want to take on the stronger dozen then be my guest. I'll support you every now and again if may be but I'll be mostly guarding my own back while you do this fight yourself on your side against the hollows. You and I are gonna be tired out after this but we can't give out yet until we fight these tougher hollows that may be leading this pack. I think with us together we can do it! It'll probably be the biggest challenge yet but at the end we can achieve victory! Are you ready, mister Bigfoot?!" and this is where he'd give off his agreement.

Natsumi jumped up in excitement, "Great! Back-up won't be arriving until three hours the most but we can get them messed up by then. Let's start rolling out," and so began the slow stealthy mission. She'd creep over the log and walk very quietly towards the field where the hollows were all settled at. She would walk over leaves and sticks, feeling the earth below her feet. It was peaceful as they traveled quietly through the terrain but it was getting heavier and heavier with spiritual pressure from the large amount of hollows present.

As they continued to travel however, they both would probably start wondering who this boss was that was leading them. It had to be something above intelligence of the average hollow. She was wondering quietly as she walks under a spider's web. Interestingly enough, she looked up and saw the trees with full of spider webs. It was scary for those who hated spiders but it left her with an amazing view on the spiritual spiders that lived up in the trees.

They'd continue to make their way through, stepping over more stuff once more but back to the subject of the leader. She scratched her head, thinking about it as they traveled. It was really quiet for the hollows to be present around this area. She was REALLY awkwardly surprise they didn't spread out and go on a search and destroy on animal life... She looked over at Zeferoth who was not too far away, wondering how it would have been if she wasn't here and Zef was alone against these monsters.

Natsumi had nothing to worry about, Zeferoth was safe around Natsumi and it was vice versa. Within fifteen minutes, they both finally make their appearance to the scene. It was an open fields, filled with wandering hollows all different shapes and sizes. They had made a steady tree fort that was very small. She poked her head out and searched the area. She was luckily hiding behind a tree and surely enough possibly Zeferoth was too. They'd both look out quietly and find something unusual... It was a human-spirit looking individual and he had a large horn coming out of his forehead.

He actually looked kinda stupid like that. Natsumi quickly hid behind the tree, chuckling and covering her mouth to try to hold in her laughter at the obscure individual. He just seemed so.... Pathetic to lead these mindless hollows. He looked like he had his own zanpakuto... Wait... This was an arrancar! She knew it! She quickly looked back out and this idiot stood on top of a tree, "MY FELLOW HOLLOWS!" and that was enough to explain the situation. The man gathered these hollows together to start some war.

"My own group known as the Escudo has been disbanded... Many of my kin have ventured off to a new place. HOWEVER! I ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE GATHERED ALL OF YOU TO FEAST! AND I HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD AROUND FOR YOU TO FEAST UPON!" and that's when they all looked at each other and started growling at each other. They were all getting rather hungry and were about to strike each other to eat each other up, "NO! NO! NOOOO! Not each other! The life here in this Soul Society!" and that's when they all turned their heads back to him obviously getting a better idea out of this.

"Yeeeeeees~, that's right with the life around here, you can all grow and become stronger! You'll become the finest hollows anyone has ever seen! You would all become Vasto Lordes within months of living here! Oh, yes! I can see you all being the finest! Indeed, I do!" and without further words he gets the cheers on. A lot of the hollows would roar in morale while others cheered like actual human beings would. This sickened Natsumi as she sat back behind the tree.

The weirdest thing was how were they not picked up by this earlier? She looked over at Zeferoth who was probably still watching all the hollows do their thing. Some hollows would be fighting each other while others were practicing ripping trees apart. They both knew these hollows were so minor but they had to start the attack. She quickly stood up and peeked out to see if anyone was looking towards their direction. None... So Natsumi quickly sprinted near Zeferoth's side. Sliding across quietly.

She slowly ends up near Zeferoth, "What a party, huh Mister Bigfoot?" and that's when he should just nod. "The plan still continues, you attack half those hollows and I'll attack the other half. Save the arrancar for last if he doesn't do anything," and this would be their final plan. She slowly sighed and took a deep breathe. Okay this is it... She would hug her back against the tree and gave him three fingers. This was the moment to strike when the countdown was out. She dropped the fingers down slowly and it just felt too slow... 3..... 2..... 1....... GO! And so begins the attack.

Natsumi quickly comes out the side, pointing fingers out like a gun towards a long line of hollows standing there, "HADO NUMBER FOUR, BYAKURAI!" and with that surprise attack, it gave them such a cutdown on hollows on her end. Several of the hollows in the radius were unaware of the bolt of lightening to coming towards them until the last moment. At least, three hollows were strike through like a sniper round. Killing them instantly. The entire pack of hollows looked at them, "HEY! LOOK!" said a hollow and this started their charge. Zeferoth was probably charging towards the hollows coming towards him and this is where Natsumi needed to get her share.

As soon as she saw her dozen run towards her she quickly turned the game. She quickly sprinted towards the hollows and it just looked like suicide when they were about to collide. Suddenly, it was so quick but as soon as they were close to her, she shunpoed herself. They quickly halted but the back was already getting attacked! She quickly slid her sword behind the farthest back hollow, cutting into his back. This was... rather weak. The hollow she's slicing into is so pathetic it didn't feel like a true hollow of great deal.

"Ahhhh, yes.... YES! VIOLENCE! VIOOOOOOOOOOLENCE! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!" said her zanpakuto spirit in her head. It was quite clear he was enjoying this himself. She killed her first hollow but a few more remained. She quickly saw them turn around and growled. She quickly ran towards the second one, jabbing the zanpakuto into the chest of the beast. This was incredible! Natsumi actually liked this a lot. She grinned to herself as she slammed the blade down inside the hollow to cut and penetrate it hard.

She quickly saw another one coming, it was rather much taller but this caused her to panic. She was weak compared to this giant one, she bent all her fingers, "Hado number eighteen, Kage no Kiba!" and a small dark purple ball in her hand would split up into five balls each finger and would slash the air to send five powerful waves towards the hollow. They'd easily cut through the hollow as the hollow was weak with reiastu alone. The hollow looked like sliced meat as it slowly vanished.

She quickly turned around, hand hurting a lot. Another hollow was approaching. God... She was actually growing tired. She quickly shunpoed and began to quickly get behind it with surprise. She sliced a sword deeply into its own back and glided down the back as her weight's strength brought the cut down. The hollow fell forward and this wasn't over yet. Five hollows were now quickly approaching her in a straight line with some behind the others and she had to act really quick towards this. They were going to out number her. She quickly bent her fingers like a claw once more.

"Hado number eighteen, Kage no Kiba!" and the same progress would repeat with this. The balls and everything would form near fingers and she'd slice the air, moaning slightly in pain from the pain of the Hado. The five waves would be large enough to cut through all of the weak hollows, making them fall down before her. This was nearly the end as she, brought her zanpakuto close to her near the next few remaining. They looked rather stunned at her, they were actually SCARED of Natsumi! They quickly were shaken and ran backwards then turned around and ran!

The hollows were truly scared after all of Natsumi's power. She panted very slowly, about to faint... She looked ahead and it seemed Zeferoth too was finishing his bunch. He noticed one sneaking behind him... NO! She raised her other arm up and pointed her fingers out like a gun, "HADO NUMBER FOUR, BYAKURAI!" and a shock of lightening would charge up and fire off right past Zeferoth and into the hollow behind him. It was now over... Natsumi panted a bit and fell on one knee but she was okay... They had one thing left, the arrancar... Zeferoth and Natsumi could see him smirk as he walked up on the logs with his hands in his pocket. Waiting for our heroes to hear his speech.

[Deleted]

Natsumi came up beside him as he peered through the trees. He relied more on his sense of smell than his sight right now. "They must be behind all those trees mister Bigfoot... I don't know why but I think there's something odd about that hollow group in particular..." Hollow, so was that what they were called? He didn't really care what the two leggers called them, he would continue to refer to them as white beasts. They were mostly white, so it was a pretty accurate description.

He looked at her and saw that she was concentrating hard on them. She was thinking about something. "Mister Bigfoot, I think these hollows have a leader..." He gave her a questioning look. It would make sense that a pack would have an alpha, but even in terms of other beast men, he didn't have much experience preferring to be alone most of the time. Though he was not sure how she could tell that from here. If they saw them it might be obvious, but from here he didn't think so.

"I don't know why but I can actually sense the weaker ones from the stronger ones. There's a lot of weaker ones but I can sense at least two to three stronger ones with one being really strong... I'm not sure if we can do this," Zeferoth snorted at the thought of a few white beasts besting him. Still there were a lot of them he could tell that much. Maybe they would not be able to, or maybe it would just take a little more strategy. 

A sudden loud whistle almost made Zeferoth jump. He covered his ears a bit shooting a glare. They needed to be quiet, but she didn't seem to pay him any mind. A small black butterfly came and flew to her. "I've never done this before but I remember my captain saying use this if there's ever an emergency..." Zeferoth was suddenly curios now. What was the importance of this insect? How was it different from any other one? What was she going to do with it?

Then to his curious surprise, she started speaking to it. Kagami... this is Natsumi and I have an urgent warning. My friend and I have discovered a large pack of hollows within the Wilderness that are shockingly dangerous with powers. I'm not sure if... there's an arrancar within the pack but I know for sure there's over two dozen of them. I don't know what we can do about this but I really need back up, now... I'm with my friend Zeferoth who's a Beast-man. DO NOT and I mean it, onni-chan... DO NOT hurt my FRIEND. He's really sweet and isn't mean at all." Now she remembers his actual name, he thought looking over the log to keep an eye out for the white beasts.

"Please send reinforcements to the Hell butterfly's path. We may need a lot of help for this, I can sense at least three upper hollows in this group and it just seems weird for them to be here. Please come, onni-chan... I love you, please... Come soon..." He didn't know who she was talking to, but it seems that she cared for this person, and maybe he did the same for her. Weather they were kin or mates he didn't know, nor did he really care. It seems though she was calling for help.

"Mister Bigfoot this may sound crazy but... with your strength and my kido, I think we can go into this together and fend off the hollows until the others come here to help deal with this. We need to deal with these hollows because they'll be threatening everything around here and that's something we cannot allow..."
Zeferoth just nodded. He saw and understood the serious concern in her voice and would do what he can to help her.

"If we let them go and group of my comrades come in, they'll pick it up quickly and leave the area. I think it's certainly for the best we hold them off until they arrive to finish them off. How about it Mister Bigfoot, will you help me fend these hollows off so they won't destroy OUR home? She waited for him to answer and he smiled an almost feral smile. "Lets show the white beasts the power of the beast and two leggs."

"Okay... Let's brainstorm here. There's over two dozen of them and we have kido and pure strength on our side. I think if we take on at least a dozen maybe we can deal with those stronger ones last until backup arrives. We both together can fight the stronger ones while we individually fight the weaker hollows," Zeferoth didn't understand what she meant by brainstorm, but she seemed to be coming up with a strategy to fight the hollows, which was just fight and hold out.

"Alright, I think we have our plan all set and together. Mister Bigfoot, if you want to take on the stronger dozen then be my guest. I'll support you every now and again if may be but I'll be mostly guarding my own back while you do this fight yourself on your side against the hollows. You and I are gonna be tired out after this but we can't give out yet until we fight these tougher hollows that may be leading this pack. I think with us together we can do it! It'll probably be the biggest challenge yet but at the end we can achieve victory! Are you ready, mister Bigfoot?!" "Lets go." Zeferoth said clenching his large powerful fists. They both crept over the log sneaking up to the edge of the tree line and into the field. Zeferoth knew that it was going to be a hard fight for little gain for himself, but he also knew that it wasn't just a fight for himself, but for his friend.

There was a large group of the white beasts just sitting around. Then a white two legger with a horn would speak to the group. Zeferoth could quickly conclude that he must be the alpha of the group. Zeferoth had fought against a few of the white two leggers before, but those were very rare instances, and they only had a few white beasts with them. This one seemed to have massed a whole pack or several packs worth.

"The plan still continues, you attack half those hollows and I'll attack the other half. Save the arrancar for last if he doesn't do anything," Zeferoth nodded again and charged the group running on all fours. He covered quite a bit of ground by the time the hollows became aware of their presance. By that time it was too late for one unfortunate white beast. Zeferoth would leap into the air and slam into the hollow crushing it beneath him killing him instantly.

Two more came at him at the same time. Zeferoth dodged their attacks, and managed to grab one of them and throw it into the other one. Zeferoth would then claw and bite at the two until they too dissipated from existence. This would go on with each one that would come to face Zeferoth. Zeferoth would take as many hits as he would throw, but he would not stop for anything. Soon there was only one. That was what he thought before Natsumi blasted one behind him with her lightning. Now there was just one left, the white two legger. He looked over and saw that Natsumi was exhausted. He rushed over to her though he was not in much better shape. He was bettered and bleating. His chest heaved as he passed air through his lungs and a rapid rate.
