Arc 3: Canon AK-1: Something Strange Is Going Down

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Name: Arc 3: Canon AK-1: Something Strange Is Going Down

Participants: 2-3 Shinigami + Kyomei Kuchiki

Location: Rukongai Districts 3-40-78

Difficulty Level: Medium

Setting: DE

Plotline: Over the last few days the citizens of Rukongai have been being disturbed in different ways. Those in the richer more well kept districts are having much of their belongings stolen. Almost anything of value is being taken yet they haven't been able to find out by who. The normal Shinigami haven't been able to figure it out or find anyone responsible for it. So a Shinigami that holds a degree of Stealth and intelligence has been sent to find the thieve and deal with whoever they are.

The middle districts is facing something strange that has never actually happened throughout time before. Someone is suddenly buying the housing. All of the houses are being bought by someone known as G. Normally in this type of situation there wouldn't be a problem the only thing is that since they have been bought rent has been issued at rates that even those of the rich district would struggle to pay. Naturally none of the citizens have been able to pay their rent leading to them being thrown from their homes. To prevent more decrypted districts Kyomei Kuchiki has been sent in hopes of meeting with G or a representative hoping to discuss some sort of reasoning that can get the citizens back in their homes.

The horrific slums of Rukongai have faced things that most individuals shouldn't ever have to especially considering most believe Soul Society to be Heaven. No even after hundreds of Hollow attacks and constant death and starvation they have never faced something like this. The beasts of the wilderness for some reason are attacking now in unison. Grouping together and destroying everything they can. Districts 79 and 80 have been reduced to ruble. A Shinigami or two of decent power have been sent to district 78 in order to safe guard the citizens and deal with the raging Beasts.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

To catch a thief you need a thief or so the saying goes. Aevus was reluctant to even accept this mission seeing how’d it make him out to be rather hypercritical. Yet his skills met the criteria and from what he heard of what was being stolen and where it was being stolen made it somewhat different. Yes unlike him who stole from the poor, someone was stealing from the rich, the well off people who didn’t litter the slums in their own filth.

Whoever was doing these burglaries was sighting the district for awhile now, allowing the preying eyes of gotei 13 of all things to catch up the trail. Aevus was perched much like a vulture his eyes scanning back and forth against the world below. The sun was setting now illuminating the world in its orange glow. This would be the perfect time for his thief to begin his nightly prowl, yet where would he show up? A sigh would leave his lips as he murmured to himself.

“I suppose it’s time to sniff this thief out like a good dog, before another complains that their gold bust of themselves suddenly went missing and I get the newspaper again.” It was a joke but he wouldn’t have been surprised if one of these prosperous house owners had such a ridiculous thing. When you’re pursuing a target you should always opt to position yourself at a high point where your perspective can be vast. From this place Aevus had a great viewpoint, even with his senses being so laughable he should be able to see something from where he was.

A good thief will generally hit a place quick, steal something light yet valuable and pawn it somewhere not very close so their steps can’t be tracked. Heh he was different though, back in his district he was stealing food. But back then a piece of crusty old bread was worth far more than any amount of gold. As the sun fully set, darkness would shelter the land and Aevus would wait with Zanpakuto in hand.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Finally, a job in which he wasn't expected to blow something up, repeatedly fire the same Kidou to train someone, or do something else supernatural with his large knowledge of Kidou. As Kyomei Kuchiki, the Kidou Corps Commander, walked into District 40 of the Rukongai, he was feeling optimistic today. His step was a little lighter than normal, his smile was more genuine, and his body seemed less tense. After that failed attack on Las Noches, the Shinigami really hadn't been the same. He thought that it would get better, that the pain would start to heal, but it hadn't.

Still, every time that he exercised his reiatsu, his body rejected it and felt sharp pains. He was getting used to the smaller pains, to the point where he could still function like he used to, using Kidou to augment his daily living, but he was learning to make do without it. Sweep the floors by hand, wash the dishes by hand, let the garbage collection agencies take care of the trash instead of burning it. However, it felt like he was being called out of the Kidou Corps Barracks daily to take care of something that needed his expertise. And it hurt every time.

But this mission, this mission was going to be different. What was usually routine buying and selling of rental property had gone full blown monopoly. Landlords were suddenly up and selling their properties without warning, properties that had been on the market for short and long periods of time were being bought with cash, and then rental prices were skyrocketing. The new landlord was charging so outrageously much that nearly no family could afford to live in the District. And this wasn't just an isolated occurrence, it was spreading to more than one district.

So, Kyomei was here to meet this Landlord and find out what the heck was going on. Find out why he was forcing families out of their homes and into the streets, and just why the former landlords were suddenly selling all of their property. The Kuchiki suspected foul play, but he was open to any possible reasons for this behavior. He wouldn't be as harsh as some of the other Captains would be (Soul King forbid that Alex was sent to this diplomatic mission), he wouldn't be as lenient as some of the others (oh, good King, Raion!), and he had the social backing of his family name which carried a lot of weight. He was the perfect candidate for this mission. So, arriving in the 40th District, Kyomei began to assess the situation.

[Taien Hadohou]

[District 78]

Taien frowned. An odd sensation, it was, but it was kind of hard not to at least do that, as he surveyed the damage that had been done to the Seireitei. The sight of such destruction was... Well, it elicited several different emotions in him. Sadness at the sight of his home in such a state, a slow, simmering anger at the beasts that had caused this, concern for the people who were in danger, along with a host of others. Were it not for the efforts of one Kazura Uzaki, he wouldn't even be able to appreciate the sight properly, unable to properly empathize and connect with the people affected by whatever this was.

'And yet all I can do to express myself is frown...'

Taien sighed. He was getting better at it, sure, but for the moment, he was still getting properly acclimated to all these new emotions. It was hard, at times, feeling something and not being properly able to express himself. There wasn't much he could do about it otherwise, though, he just had to keep practicing, had to keep getting used to it. What he was feeling was what every other normal person felt, after all. It was massive and alien and unknown to him, but to everyone else? This was just normal every day life. While Taien exceeded most people in several different ways, the rest of the world... Well. They outclassed him on every level, emotionally.

Still, he could ponder on his own situation later. For the moment, he had a mission to do. Drive off the rampaging, destructive beasts, safeguard the civilians, get to the bottom of the situation. Who knew what exactly was going on around here, Taien didn't know, but he was going to get to the source of whatever the problem was, and blow it straight to hell if he needed to. Some emotion was leaking into his thoughts, though, so he shook his head, and surveyed the area one last time. The Seireitei really did need some proper protection for the outer districts, to prevent stuff like this from happening... But that probably wasn't changing quite so soon.

'Right then. Time to get to work...'

So, with a professional gleam to his eyes, and a positive look on his face, Taien began to move. It wouldn't do to be smiling while he was walking around such destruction and damage, after all. He knew that now. He didn't want to make people feel like he was making light of their suffering, far from it. He didn't, however, want them to loose all hope either. It was a fine line to walk, on a mission like this. Still... He'd do his duty. It was his job, and the job of the Shinigami of the Thirteen Court Guards, the Kidou Corps, and Omnitsukido, to defend the balance between life and death, and to act as protectors for the dead.

These beasts wouldn't know what hit them.

{Items}

Item Name: F.O.R.M Prototype: Overwatch

Item Type: Time Piece/Defensive Instrament

Item Description: A fairly nice looking watch at first glance. Its completely black, save for the hands and the numbers. The hands and numbers are crimson red on the right half while the other half is sky blue. Normally all it does is tell time. However, with a press of a button, the watch takes creates a four foot purple circle of energy a foot from the surface of the watch. The circle of Reiatsu has a strength of 400, and deflects anything with lower Reiatsu strength than 400. The watch has four uses, and takes five posts to "reset". A second button on the other side of the clock face allows the strength to go up to eight hundred for one use, but it burns the energy in the watch out for a while, taking twice as long to recharge. As this is a prototype, there are some things wrong with it. While the watch could be used in succession, it overheats the circutry, causing it to burn out. As such, there is a two post gap between uses, otherwise the watch really will break. More advanced models will have it corrected, but until then, it breaks even once overused. It takes a Class 3 person to actually be able to use this watch's battle function.

Price: 1.2 Million Ryo

Kyomei Kuchiki had only just arrived to the fortieth district and once there he would see that much of the district itself was for one reason or another barren. The streets that normally would have vendors on them held nothing, but broken wood and trash. The only thing that would make sense was that the district itself was attacked recently. However, there was no report of such a thing occurring and none of the buildings seemed to be damaged at all. As he walked throughout the district he would start to see some people. Many of them with expressions of sorrow and exhaustion. None of these people knew what it was like to have nothing and yet that seemed to be what they were left with now.

Kyomei had been sent to find Q and speak with him about everything that was going on. He had to find out where Q was first though in order for the diplomacy between this new landlord and the Seireitei itself to even begin. He wouldn't have any luck searching throughout the district on foot. By the time it would take him to clear through the entire district itself it would be long as dark. It was ineffective so he would have to ask around. Doing his best to speak with the people on the streets that seemed to be starving for food and shelter. Whatever was going on here it seemed far worse than what had been reported to him. However, this was only the surface of the problem and soon he would find the deep sea that awaited him.

---

Over in district seventy eight the Vice Captain of the Kido Corps was now at the edge of the district. Such a funny thing though. It seemed that the Kido Corps had been sent to deal with a situation that on paper would be handed to either division ten or eleven. The Kido Corps was in full front it seemed sending not only the Captain himself to meet Q, but the Vice Captain of nearly Captain level power to defend the edge of Rukongai. As Taien reached the edge of the district though he would see that everything in his sight was destroyed. On his way through the seventy eighth district he would have seen no one. Not a single person was still living there for the fear of death had gripped them all.

It had only been over the last few days, but in such a short span of time the two most outer districts. Districts that held almost no laws and housed the most evil of people were destroyed. The screams of pain and death reached far into the other districts. Taien would see the remains of destroyed and crumbled buildings. In truth a lot of them had been like that prior to the attacks, but now everything was rubble and nothing was left standing. Miles upon miles of broken wood. Wherever were the beasts though and when did they plan on attacking again. Taien had been sent to defend this district, but just when was the next attack going to happen? All he could do for now was wait and yet that wasn't wise with dusk approaching so quickly.

[Taien Hadohou]

It might have been unkind of him, but it was hard for Taien to feel all too much regret at Districts Eighty and Seventy-Nine being destroyed. It wasn't a good thing, mind you, but the kind of people that lived in those Districts were kind of awful. There were good people, no doubt, but they were the exception, not exactly the norm. Maybe, though, with the destruction of both of them, the Seireitei could get it right out here. Probably not, but there was a chance to make things better. Hopefully. Maybe they'd even add some defensive measures to prevent something like this from happening again. The Kidou Corps would gladly assist.

Speaking of which, wasn't Kyomei also sent out around to the Districts? He was in one of the lower numbered ones, sure, but he was out and about today. Taien knew that, mostly because Kyomei had handed him a scroll, along with informing him of what had happened. There was also another Shinigami out and doing something related to all this, but Taien wasn't exactly sure who. Either way, it seemed like there was a lot going on today. Taien had a job to do, as did Kyomei, and as did the other Shinigami. They all just had slightly different types of jobs to do today. Kyomei was searching for someone, and Taien was out trying to protect people, as well as fighting off beasties.

Who had the harder job, he didn't know.

'What to do? I could try and find some people to get information from, perhaps... I can't exactly defend this entire District by myself though, unless they're just coming from the one angle... Yeah, really need some information.

So with that, Taien opened up his senses, attempting to find someone in range to talk to. It'd be a bit hard, Plus souls weren't the strongest, but it was worth a shot. At the very least, he needed to find a defensible location, so he looked for that as well, with his regular senses.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well it seemed that all of the Shinigami had been deployed and were in the areas that they needed to be in for their assignments. However, actually getting to their assignments and finishing them was something completely different. For the moment most of them didn't seem to be able to find anything leading them to finish the assignment they were given. Aevus was perched like a bird looking over the area while the sun began to set. He was trying to find any sort of information that might be of use in finding the culprit that continued to steal from these richer districts.

As he was perched though overlooking everything that his eyes could possibly pick up he would notice what appeared to be a group of men. The group was only about half a dozen in number yet they looked to be enforcers of criminal activities. There was no doubt that these men were in some type of gang. After a few moments the men turned into an alley and would vanish from Aevus's view. However, at the same time as the men vanished the sound of a female screaming made itself present and Aevus was left with a choice on what to do.

---

At the same time though hundreds of miles away from Aevus was the Vice Captain of the Kido Corps over in district seventy eight and he was wondering what to do and how he'd be able to defend the entire district from the repeated attacks of the beasts. He figured that he would need to find some of the locals and try to find more foolproof way of success. As he came to that conclusion though he would feel a tug on his pant leg. Beside him was a small little girl with golden hair and dark skin.

She had to look of sorrow and exhaustion across her face as she held onto the black fabric of his clothing with her tiny right hand. She was starring up at him looking into his eyes. "M . Mister . do you . . have any food?" The girl was scared and afraid that this strange looking man was going to tell her what all of the others did. Over the last few days the girl had lost her parents and been on the streets with nothing to eat or drink. The others seemed to brush her aside or ignore her completely not caring for the young one. How would Taien respond though to the tear filled eyes of an orphan.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

It was already dark before the Kidou Corps Commander had made his way through the entirety of the Rukongai district on foot, without having found a single scrap of evidence nor the Q that he was sent to find. He began to seek out any one that would listen, anyone that he could find. He started by introducing himself as a Shinigami and a Kuchiki that was sent to help the situation. Usually the title of Shinigami would be enough, as he was sent by the Gotei, and if that didn't work, then the title of Nobility must be enough to boost his standings in their eyes. At least, he hoped. If that wasn't working, then he'd simply introduce himself as someone looking for Q. If that also struck out... he'd have to come up with another plan.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

Aevus eyed the group of men, they crowded together and clearly stood out amongst the rabble that tended to roam these streets. From what it looked, it could have been a gang, but what type of gang operates in such prosperous locations. He had prior knowledge of such people, those who used numbers and bullied to get what they wanted. Intimidating together but alone these people were generally weak and stupid. If these men were behind the burglaries, he’d have to quickly take out their leader. Bite the head off a snake and the whole body dies or so the saying goes.

Watchful eyes would follow as the group paraded into the alley but he would suddenly be caught off guard. A scream caught his ears, causing the pale faced reaper to swivel his attention to the direction of the screech. He moved upon that, deciding to immediately dash towards the damsel in distress. He ignored all warning that this could as well be a trap. His mind was set merely on one thing and one thing only, to protect. Running across rooftops Aevus would come to a stop.

His sapphire gaze now searching for the woman as he fell into an alleyway. His left hand would ready to his Zanpakuto as he took a breath, his eyes neatly affixed before him. He felt the gentle murmur of his Zanpakuto as he took a step into the ally as if wishing him to be careful. His cold blues would slowly adjust to the darkness of that ally. As he looked for the woman a rat would scurry past him, causing him to look down in disgust. 'Heh even in places like this? It seems these pesky little vermin hide everywhere' Aevus would take a tight right turn and hopefully he would meet his damsel upon that turn.

[Taien Hadohou]

[Apologies for the absence, though I did at least manage to put something up in the Status section before vanishing this time. Progress!]

Before Taien could do much of anything, there was a tugging at his pant leg. Blinking, wondering what it could be if he couldn't sense it so close to him, he looked down, eyes widening and softening as he did so. It was a... little girl, with dirty golden hair, and darkened skin that also probably was dirty. An extremely tired, beat up looking little girl. It wasn't hard to figure out why she was like she was, nor where she came from. ... And judging by the lack of people around, or coming for her... She was likely an orphan around. A stab of guilt pierced Taien's heart as his earlier thought floated back up. Though it was true that the higher numbered districts were basically hives of scum and villainy, writing off everyone in there was kind of a callous dick move.

And then she spoke, and Taien's heart broke again. Were it not for his sturdy will, he'd probably need a moment to cry. As it was, he wasn't even watering, though his eyes looked rather sad.

Jan 5, 2016 23:31:11 GMT -5 ✠Asmoskon Masurao✠ said:

"M . Mister . do you . . have any food?"

Her eyes looked so worn down and exhausted. It pained Taien, but he really didn't have any food on him. There was supposed to be a supply drop for the people out here, but evidently it hadn't made it. Or maybe the beasts had gotten it in one of their attacks. He crouched down to her eye level and, reluctantly, Taien spoke.

"Ahh... I'm sorry, little one. I do not have any food on me. But..."

He trailed off, an idea coming to him.

"Would you like to come with me? I can't promise we'll find any food, but I will promise to protect you, while you're with me. I'm trying to find out where these beasts are coming from, what they attack, what they go after. If I can find out... Well... Maybe I can stop them. I don't know yet."

Taien sighed, looking downcast. How many people could have been saved if he'd just been a little quicker? ... No, no, it wasn't his fault. He had the power to help stop things, but even he couldn't be everywhere at the same time.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Kyomei Kuchiki had been searching throughout the area of the third district and over the time he had been searching he hadn't been able to come upon anything that really gave him any sort of valuable information. When he found residents of the district they were to scared and worried to think straight. These people had never had any sort of problem throughout the entire time they'd been in Rukongai. They were the rich and lived lives that many would deem paradise and now that paradise was being stripped away from them.

Dusk was starting to creep upon Rukongai now and all hopes that Kyomei was going to be able to find Q and set up a meeting with him were beginning to seem impossible. None of the residents in this area paid attention to anything, but themselves so in truth now that they could help they didn't have the information that he would need. However, there was one that did and that individual just so happened to be moving up towards Kyomei. A young woman that appeared to be wearing little more than torn rags walked up and slapped the Kuchiki across his face. "YOU SHINIGAMI ARE ALL SCUM! HERE YOU ARE PROTECTING THESE TYRANTS WHILE YOU ALLOW THOSE LESS FORTUNATE TO BE HUNTED!"

---

Furhter away from the Seireitei though there was Aevus who had seen the gang of individuals bringing a girl with them into an ally. It seemed that he was going to make his move on them when a scream took over his attention. He rushed from the spot that he had been on running across the roof tops and then turning right into another ally in hopes of finding the female that had screamed. Sitting there on the ground though was a small girl with dark hair holding something in her arms. There was a door to a house beside her which meant that she obviously had to live there.

That was meaningless though as Aevus would see in the next instant that the girl was holding the bloodied body of what appeared to be a dog. Tears streamed down her face and fell to the beloved pet that had been taken from her. She looked up at Aevus with further worry though. "P-Please they took my sister. You have to get her back PLEASE!" The girl couldn't speak further and began to break down crying from the fear of losing her sister. Aevus wouldn't be able to find out anything else, but there wouldn't be much more to ask now that it was obvious he had chosen the wrong path.

---

Then there was Taien who was dealing with his own problems on the outskirts of the wilderness. Well that's what it was now that the last two districts were reduced to rubble. It seemed that the Vice Captain of the Kido Corps was going to do his best to keep the small girl save and even comfort her. The small thing at first looked to have nothing, but sorrow and hunger to her eyes and yet at the sound of protection her eyes lit up. "YOU PROMISE!" It was the first time since the attacks that the girl actually knew hope something that any individual should hold pride in giving to others.

It was as Taien spoke to her though about needing information about the beasts that things seemed to start making more sense. "You can't stay here though Mister. We got to move away and get as far as we can. The big animals always start coming when it gets dark. They come from everywhere mister! They ruin everything and kill everyone! Please we need to go before they get here." The girl was trying her best not to cry as she started to tug on his pants again towards the inner section of Rukongai.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

Sapphire eyes would meet but a child, kneeling down to the body of an animal. The blood reflected gently off the moonlight as it stained the girl’s very hands, she was holding it tightly to her body and he felt himself wince as if in pain. His eyes clung to the girl as if staring into a mirror of the past, a reflection that sung to him mournfully and he felt the wolf within pull away sadly. The look on her face held shock and fear but also disbelief. The tears streaming down her face held a sadness and a desperate plea as she spoke to him and Aevus would listen keenly.

"P-Please they took my sister. You have to get her back PLEASE!"

Aevus would find himself stepping back at that, his heart nearly beating out of his very chest. His expression held shock and his Zanpakuto would begin to rattle in his very hands as he trembled. He had gone the wrong way this was his fault, a cloud of darkness would begin to envelope his winter blues as he felt the pull of that inner hollow begin to shelter within him. “Aevus!” Piercing silvers fell into him, causing the pale faced reaper to return and that darkness to flee.

"I..." His eyes would falter as he held the wall.“Don’t you dare feel bad for yourself now, burdening yourself with trivial things such as guilt, do you hear me, you don't have the right to be selfish!” A snarl caused the reaper to be taken aback. She was right...he had to get ahold of himself. Taking a step forward towards the child, he would kneel. Placing a single hand on her shoulder he would eye her, his eyes now softened and his voice but a whisper. “ I’ll save your sister don’t worry, I promise. So just go back inside for now, ok?” He would feign a smile yet he was terrified and it was hard to hide that even now.

“Never make a girl a promise you can’t keep.” The wolf would sigh and he felt her forlorn expression digging into his very soul as he ran. He would dart towards that place where he saw those shady men before. They must have been the ones who took her, there was no one else it could have been. “This is one i’m keeping.” Aevus spoke in a hushed whisper his eyes narrowed on a resolve as he held his Zanpakuto tightly. No matter what he was bringing that girl back even if it killed him.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Getting slapped in the face for doing his job did not sit well with Kyomei. Sure, he could take it, and his kind had probably done something to deserve it in the past, but right now he was trying to help. With a flick of his wrist, he sent a Sho outwards to his right, though it was modified slightly with his mastery of Kidou. Instead of blasting apart the dirt, the Shinigami had it explode upwards from the ground that it hit. Waves of air were just sound, so the kidou would make a sudden clapping sound. Not particularly dangerous, but loud enough given his intense reiatsu strength.

"I am sorry for the actions of my comrades, but you must calm down. I'm trying to help. You seem to know quite a bit about what's going on. Since I was sent to see just what the problem is and resolve it to the best of my ability, you can definitely do a lot of good for your District by not assaulting me and instead letting me help you." It was more of a lead than he had before, so he had to pursue it regardless of how angry she was. Hopefully the large clap would shake her to her senses and get her attention enough to hear his calm and kind words.

Remaining Reiatsu: 17975/18000 (-25 Sho)
