[Senroku]

Private. >__>

The gigantic hollow moved forward, its jaw opened in attempt to swallow Senroku --

The Taichō would then utilize Shunpo to appear above the hollow, his Zanpakutō pointed down with his arms raised --

The beast screamed, but it was too late. The blade was upon it, driving deep through the center of its head -- inevitably slaying the creature. The Taichō backflipped down off the now-flailing hollow, sheathing his blade in mid-air. He had no need to activate his Shikai through the contest, as hollows were easy kills to the 10th divison Taichō. The veteran smirked as the hollow stopped and fell forward, creating a small flurry of forest leaves to float up around it. The bodies of half-eaten humans lay scattered around the forest floor, five in total.

This hollow sure had gotten it's feed for the day, thought Senroku hoped it had savoured the taste of human soul --

The last taste it would ever get. The shinigami had travelled to Earth directly into District 3600, pursuing a small pack of hollows that had eventually led him here. The shinigami walked towards the pale bodies, keeping his eyes peeled. Senroku felt the bodies foreheads in turn, each colder than the last.

"Shame, shame."

[Axel Gashimini]

"It would appear as if I missed out. A tad bit sad for me, I would have liked to kill it."

A voice full of malice said from behind the 10th Division Captain. It was Axel, one of the Quincy's around Karakura Town even though he liked to consider himself the best out of them all. He began walking past the taisho, not blinking an eye. It wasn't as if anyone could see him blink his eyes anyway, the sunglasses effectively hid his eyes from all who could see. He had his hands in both pockets, trying to maintain a cool disposition. On the inside he was wrathing in fury however, wanting to have killed the hollow. Even though he and shinigami were now on good terms with each other, he still felt somewhat superior about everything. It was almost a game to end his boredom, whoever could kill hollows quicker and faster one, and right now he had lost to this shinigami.

Kneeling down next to a body, Axel frowned. It was unidentifiable, he couldn't tell if it was a teenager or an adult, man or female. Touching the now cold body with his left hand, Axel rose up quickly. His right hand managed to form a fist even though everything else about him seemed as if he didn't care.

He turned swiftly, meeting the captain's eyes even though his own eyes were covered. As he walked, towards the Captain his Quincy Cross jangled, giving himself off as a Quincy although he was pretty sure the guy already knew that.

"Axel Gashimini, just wondering if there is any more scum like this?"

He asked the shinigami bluntly with strong words.

[Senroku]

Senroku gave the Quincy an uneasy look, he had never really liked their type -- nor had they favoured his. The two had never been on the same page, nor even in the same book -- it was just uncustomary for a Quincy to talk to a Shinigami so freely, like Axel had done so to Senroku. The shinigami stepped forward now to get closer to the Quincy, his arms dangling by his sides. His entire right arm was visible, as both the sleeve of his kimono and haori had been sliced off in combat against hollows. A distinct scar ran down his bicep, and he scratched it before speaking.

"I've tracked them from District 3600, or Karakura town as humans deem it. Now run along Quincy, I can deal with these hollows myself."

He would then walk straight by Axel, his Geta crushing the very leaves he walked on. Senroku showed no emotion through the meeting, he rarely ever did at all. He kept his arrogant composure about him as he walked, very slowly, past the Quincy.

[/blockquote]

[Axel Gashimini]

Axel took note to the shinigami taisho, he had various scars along his body. That meant that either he had been in many tough fights before, or that he had gotten into one major fight.

Axel inwardly gritted his teeth, he didn't like how the shinigami just talked to him like that. Crossing his arms, Axel took on a quite arrogant pose, walking towards a tree as the Captain attempted to walk away from the situation. Leaning on the tree, Axel stared at the Captain's back, seething how somebody like him could even think about exerting any authority. Removing his sunglasses, Axel tucked it inside the front pocket of his vest. He slowly took off his hat and tucked it inside his back pocket, revealing his short hair. He would get back at the captain right now, nobody insulted him ever. He held status wherever he went, and the dead were no different.

"If you were able to get to them sooner, then how come five humans are now dead? Has the Soul Society become slow to react to anything? Have they become weak enough to send out their best to take care of a simple hollow?"

Axel said arrogantly, egging the captain along. He smirked, wanting the captain to feel insulted, wanting to fire at his pride like he was a hollow.

[Senroku]

The Taichō turned his head around, shooting off a menacing glare to the Quincy alien. He was not one to take insults lightly, and no insult would go unpunished in Senroku's mind. He slowly began drawing his Zanpakutō from its saya, located directly in front of his pelvis. Once drawn he would flick his arm back, pointing the tip of the blade at Axel.

"Do not test me, Quincy. I care not for our little treaty, one Quincy dead will not coincide with our war efforts against Aizen.. I care not for the treaty anyway, I am my own man -- and I am a man who is sick of fuckers like you."

He remained still, not activating his Shikai just yet. He would wait for the Quincies reaction, to see if it was a hostile one or not.

[/blockquote]

[Axel Gashimini]

"Is the shinigami upset? Face it, you guys screwed up and we had to clean up your mess. A shinigami dead matters nothing to me, after all there are much nicer shinigami out there."

Axel said, staring at the shinigami, his eyes still showing nothing. This who he was, always in control of himself never one to let anything slip through his demeanor. However, he also wasn't one to take anything lying down, especially from an arrogant captain. Reaching behind his back slowly, he was careful not to allow the bark to scratch his hand. He swiftly removed a Seele Schneider, his own 'sword' if you may. In an instant a blue blade of reishi popped into existence and was aiming towards the captain's chest. The was two inches away from hitting it and a simple thrust would send the blade carving into the man's body. For quite a bit all that was heard was the buzzing of the vibrating blade of the Seele Schneider, filling the forest with it's sound.

"Your move 'Captain' "

Axel said sarcastically, awaiting for the shinigami to try and do anything that would lead to conflict between the two.

[Senroku]

"Your mouth is too big for your body, Quincy. Shō Issai."

With the last two words he would activate the Shikai, and his blade would glow blue for a moments time. When the blue glowed faded, Senroku was now holding an extremely long and thin spear- its length twice his height. He still pointed it at the Quincy like had been with his spear, not moving a muscle. If I were to unleash Bankai.. no, that's foolish. The Taichō thought for a moment, summing up his strategies for the fight ahead. He planned not to slay the Quincy, but merely teach him a lesson or two..

The next moment, before Axel could blink, the Taichō was behind him --

He struck his spear downwards, aimed for the achiles heel--

The Taichō then performed another Shunpo, appearing back where he had been standing before. Whether the attack made contact or not he did not know, but he had hollows to catch -- this would have to end fast.

[/blockquote]

[Axel Gashimini]

Unfortunately for the Captain, he did not hit anything. Axel was well aware of shinigami zanpakuto and their abilities, he knew of their powers. So when he heard the words Sho Issai, Axel deduced that the shinigami was releasing his swords true ability. The slight hesitation that the captain showed, figuring out what to do gave Axel just enough time to adjust his position at the tree so he could have enough space to use Hirenkyaku. While the shinigami tried to take out his leg, Axel was gone already in the air and floating with the help of Hirenkyaku. Stern look on his face, he removed the sunglasses and hat, allowing them to drop to the ground giving off his position.

As he looked down upon the shinigami, he slowly removed one of the silver tubes from in front of him. He smirked as he poured the liquid out from tube as it spiralled downward. If the captain knew of Quincy and their parallel to kido, he would see that this was a Ginto spell. Normal Quincy could only use a Ginto once due to having store the reishi from elsewhere, however exceptionally skilled ones could fill it with their own energy. For now however he would use the energy stored in the tube, to save himself some energy.

"Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Sacred Bite!"

Axel yelled out as a transparent, rectangular beam of energy came down. The technique, if it hit would surely slice the shinigami in two. Axel wasn't hoping for that however, he was actually preparing himself for close combat. He had dropped his stuff to let the taicho know what would be occurring. As the beam rorared, Axel quickly grabbed his other seven Seele Schneider's using his Ranso­tengai Seele technique and having all his weapons float in midair.

[Senroku]

Theme

The shinigami, of course, was aware of the Quincy's abilities, and utilized another Shunpo to avoid the technique; knowing it was coming after the Quincy shouted out a variety of words. Senroku now stood atop a large branch, concealed by the leaves that covered it. He had a clear view of his opposition now, who was in mid-air, directly in front of him. The trees that covered this forest were massive in size, and seemed as if they had climbed up so high they could meet the gods in heaven.

Senroku groaned, and placed his left hand in front of him.

A beam of yellow Energy would quickly gather, spread out and form a triangle in front of him, with a blade on each point. He would fire the Shitotsu Sansen directly at the Quincy, aimed to pin him to whatever tree it connected with first. Then Senroku's lesson would be taught, and he could continue his pursuit of the Hollow scum. There were lives to save, human lives on the line -- humans who could not defend themselves.

After he had fired the triangle Senroku would Shunpo another time, landing on the ground below and behind his opponent.

[Beak-stab Triple Beam]
Forming a golden triangle with one's finger, it shoots three beams of light that pin the target to one place on a surface, slamming into his or her body in three places in a shape of a perfect triangle.

[/blockquote]

[Axel Gashimini]

Axel's eyes widened as he saw a triangle of energy come towards him. He was expecting a close ranged encounter with the shinigami, which was why he had bothered using the technique in the first place. The triangle hit Axel in the chest, sending him flying away towards the tree directly behind him. Axel made sure to manipulate the Reishi so all his Seele Schneider's would follow suit, if any of them left the 15 foot limit then they would drop to the ground useless. Now stuck to the tree, Axel looked down to see his opponent standing on the ground.

He was not to be beaten this way, he was a Quincy! Scowl on his face, Axel manipulated the swords to cut through the trees like butter as well as absorbing the spiritual particles from the kido. It took awhile but it worked, as Axel made a speedy descent down to the ground below. Landing on his knee, Axel awaited for the 8 swords to fall downward while he stared at Senroku. As the blades entered the 15 foot area, they all floated back into their holsters behind Axel as he held out a single arm. It was the arm with the Quincy Cross on it.

The tiny silver cross began to float upward as Axel focused spiritual energy. A cross like bow formed in Axel's right hand as he continued to stare down his adversary, not saying a word. The bow was a fierce looking one, much tougher looking than the regular blue energy bow. Pointing the bow at Senroku, Axel began to speak.

"And with this Captain, you lose."

[Senroku]

"I have not lost yet Quincy, nor will I."

It was time. If Axel wanted to play with the big guns, Senroku could cater- and cater he would. The Shinigami drove his Zanpakutō into the ground and place both hands in front of him, arms outstretched. This was how Senroku personally activated Bankai, which would end this Quincy in a single move. Funny thing was, he hadn't even unleashed either of his Shikai abilities yet, not showing any of his abilities as a Taichō. This was great deception, and would obviously depict him as weak- despite the enormous spear he held in his hand.

"This, Quincy, is your end."

With that a huge blue beam would encircle the Shinigami, coming down from the very heavens themselves. Trees would sway and be knocked down when the great Golden figure appeared. She was massive in size, and her golden skin shone for miles, as was the distance she could be seen. The shinigami smirked through gritted teeth, his Zanpakutō now back in it's dormant state. He no longer wore a kimono or white shirt beneath, instead only a white Haori with no sleeves covered his top half, and some of his lower. Senroku pointed the blade at his enemy, and smiled. Kill him, make it fast. He thought, his thoughts allowing him to commune with the Goddess avatar. She said nothing, but instead the kanji on her forehead began to glow blue.

"Prepare your--"

He was cut off by the sounds of rustling leaves all around him, cut off by the sounds of hungry demon. Hollows. The huge goddess would disperse in a cloud of green smoke, and Senroku's attire returned to normal. There was no need to use Bankai anymore, there were other enemies to deal with. The enemy of your enemy.. is your friend. Pssh yeah fuck that, I'm not befriending this Quincy. A debate had arisen in his mind, as Senroku plucked his spear from the ground where it had been previously.

"I guess.. we're going to have to pair up. Our duel can wait.."

He grumbled, moving closer to the Quincy. It wasn't a hollow, nor a group of them. It was a whole fuckin' army. He readied his spear as the demons encircled them in masses, their force stretching out as far as he could see...

.. How had so many managed to invade Earth? And why were so many out here, where there were barely any inhabitants..?

[/blockquote]

[Axel Gashimini]

Axel frowned lowering his Quincy bow away from the shinigami. He wasn't frowning because of the army of hollow, he just really wanted to put an arrow through the guy's arm. Hollow however, the were much more unimportant, and they needed to be killed. He raised his bow back up to the shinigami, smirking all the while. He had a very difficult choice to make. Either he could join this cocky, arrogant man and help him fend off the hollow attacks. His second option as to sit back and not help at all, most ensuring causing the death of them both. Axel didn't really like dying, he had too much money and was too important to Karakura Town to die in his opinion.

He fired a single arrow at the captain, seemingly having made his choice. As the arrow sped towards Senroku, the hollows came close and closer. It seemed as if Axel couldn't get rid of his grudge against this particular shinigami. Right before the arrow made contact with Senroku, it curved upward. The target was now one of the hollows that were in the air. Axel simply nodded his head before disappearing in plain sight. Another Hirenkyaku was used, and he was now in air.

"Hey Shinigami, you take the hollows that are on the ground I'll take all the air based hollows."

Axel said, hoping that there were far more land based hollows than ones in the air. Using yet another Hirenyaku, Axel appeared at another spot, still standing in mid air as the spiritual particles helped him stay afloat. He raised his bow straight upward, his left hand staying in his pocket. 10 arrows were ten shot out of his bow, the 10 blue arrows flying right in the air until Axel had them curve yet again. They now went directly down and curved once more, aiming towards the hollows.

This was becoming a game to him, he wanted to see who could kill th most hollows quicker. If they couldn't fight then they could make it a contest of sorts. Quincy Genius against a Shinigami Captain, it was sure to become an impressive slaying of hollows. While waiting for more hollows to attack him, Axel couldn't help but realize something.

He himself has Great Spiritual Pressure, which was good. It was the most any Quincy or human could ever hope to posses. This was the same level of Spiritual Pressure of the average shinigami captain and it was finely controlled. He wondered if this shinigami held any higher spiritual pressure of immense ad above, if so then the hollows would be attracted to the combined energies.

[Senroku]

"Hmph."

As the Quincys single arrow flew towards him, the Taichō did not move. Instead, he watched on as it curved away from him and into a flying hollow. The shinigami's spear then glowed blue, and five more would form -- each floating in mid-air around his wrist. He now held a gauntlet of spears in some perspective- this was one of his Shikai abilities. As the Quincy called out an order, Senroku gave a reluctant nod. He wasn't the type to get bossed around -- especially by Quincy.

The Taichō utilized a Shunpo to get beside a hollow, driving his real spear into its side. As the other spears worked in tandem with the original, they too would drive into the beast -- and when he pulled it out six holes would be visible, all in a perfect circle. Black blood oozed out from the holes, and the hollow would drop dead in turn. However, just as he had been wiping his spear clean -- another hollow would fly in from his behind -- its mouth wide open --

Senroku ducked, placing his six spears above him--

The hollow flew right over top of him, and its underbelly would be slashed apart by his spear--

It landed in front of him, and spun around--

The shinigami outheld his spear, and a huge beam of heat would envelope the hollow--

It moaned, and in seconds was nothing but ashes--

Senroku utilized shunpo again, placing himself on a tree branch out of range. "Quincy, these ones -- they're bigger than normal.."

[/size]

[Axel Gashimini]

A sudden arrow hit the tree Senroku was standing on. The arrow pierced the tree, bark exploding outward. Axel gave a withering look to the shinigami, wondering what he was doing up here. He had made it clear that Senroku was to stay on the ground, while he alone handle the airborne hollows. As Axel was focused on the shinigami taicho, a rather large hollow managed to sneak up on Axel. The hollow was easily 15 feet tall, it's huge claws being even bigger at 16 feet.

The hollow roared, alerting the teenaged boy to it's presence. Axel swiftly turned around, only to meet the claw attempting to strike Axel in his side. Axel simply stretched his bow and arm to the side, sticking straight to meet the claw. Reacting rather swiftly, Axel fired not one or two, but 100 arrows through that one hand of the hollow. The hollow roared in pain, it's hand was obliterated to pieces. Axel stared coldly at the hollow, wondering why he was attacked from behind. Although he knew the answer, it was because hollows were weak pathetic creatures who could not fight properly in his opinion.

Soon the hollow's hand began to reform, the only aspect of hollows Axel actually liked, Instant Regeneration. This particular hollow seemed unable to speak, as it laughed at Axel. he hollow swung it's claw again, only for Axel to jump up and land on the hand with ease. He pointed his bow the hollow, his time using both hands just for show. Puling back on the bow the hollow could sense it's untimely death. A blue arrow flew through the hollow's head as the hollow began evaporating mid-air.

"Captain do you wish to end this quick, if so then shall we both fight seriously?"

Axel questioned, knowing fully well that none of them were fighting at 100%. He doubted that each was even using half of their overall abilities.

[Senroku]

Theme

Fuck.. stupid Quincy.

The shinigami thought as an arrow struck the tree, exploding bark over the place. Axel was like a feral puppy, markings it territory. It wasn't like he owned this damn forest. The shinigami walked forward, his spear rested on his shoulder, its blade touching the tree's trunk behind him. "Guess we should get it done wi--" He was cut off as an air-borne hollow flew directly towards him, its mouth outstretched--

He jumped up, and the hollow kept moving--

It slammed into the tree, writhing in pain--

The shinigami spun his Zanpakutō around in front of him, and a tremendous wave of cutting wind shot out at the hollow--

The creature screamed, torn into several pieces--

Senroku landed again, his spear now stabbed into the thick branch. "Let's end it." He pulled the spear out and twirled it around, placing it back on his shoulder. However from behind another hollow would appear, this one small and ugly -- with two heads. Senroku was distracted by another who had surfaced in front of him, slowly spinning through the air towards him.

The two came at him fast and suddenly--

He jumped again, and the beasts collided--

As he began to descend, another flying hollow shot out of the air-- sending him crashing towards the branch--

The Taichō's back was slammed against it, and he fell to the ground--

Hollows surrounded him, covering him from view from Axel--

He was defeated. Or so it had seemed--

A blue flash of light came down from the sky again, and each hollow would be sent backwards--

Senroku now stood, his top-half once again replaced by a sleeveless Haori. His zanpakutō was a Katana again, and he clenched it tightly in his hand.

Towering behind him was the Goddess of the Sun, Taiyō Megami. He stood still, and the hollow army stood before him, quenching for his soul.

This was his Bankai.
