Bored, bored, bored. (open)

[Tenpi Kishou]

From the gaping maw of darkness stepped Adalberto, his very will ripped Karakura Town's night sky in two. "The same ol' desert gets boring so quickly... There must be something to do around here." Slowly, he descended towards the grass of the park below him, he could see fish swimming in a nearby lake even from his height. He hit the ground delicately, not wishing to disturb anyone nearby, but it seemed that his landing had gained the notice of a nearby spirit. The spirit seemed to quiver, fearful of Adalberto's sudden appearance.

"Don't be afraid... I've got no use for you anyway, my power has come as far as it ever will in this form." Adalberto said slowly.

"No, no, no, you can't be trusted. The things that look like you always chase me around." the spirit said, running towards the lake.

"Come back!" Adalberto yelled, unconsciously releasing a wave of reiatsu, paralyzing the spirit. As he lowered his reiatsu back to his normal level, a flash sparked in his mind as he remembered the black garbed shinigami that chased him away from many humans towns back when he was a gillian. Immediately, he fled the park, moving quickly into the city. His memories of the shinigami involved hatred and fighting, but there was only one shinigami that he wanted to kill, and it wasn't likely that he'd appear here.

"Ahaaa..." A slow yawn came from Void´s mouth and was sent off into the world. It was just boring and it didn´t really mattered where he was, it was the same, everywhere. His feet kicked against the fence that surrounded a tree for whatever matter. It instantely tilted in and broke, as if it were paper. And now, as he turned around, he saw a hollow following a spirit while calling out to it. What was wrong with this situation was what first came to his mind. Maybe the fact, that this guy following a normal spirit seemed neither hostile nor about to devour that spirit? Well, maybe. But maybe it was the simple fact, that the one following had a vast amount of reiatsu and even over this distance, Void could feel how it tingled down his spine. The feeling of someone strong.

And then, this hollow released a wave of his power to paralyze the spirit. Quite powerful, but well, not enough to do anything else but paralyzing. And then, the hollow... ran away. Void was about to laugh, what was with that? Wow, that was just lame, what was there to fear so much about. But he liked the idea of following that guy, he seemed strong and it was always good to know strong people either for fighting them or for allying with them, the more the better. With one sonido, he was at the spirits side, which still looked like he was frozen and Void laid a hand on it´s head. With one pull, he took all reiryoku and devoured what was in him, not much, but a nice snack before a chat. With another sonido, he was at the side of the other hollow and said: "Hey there, what was up with that?"

[Tenpi Kishou]

As Adalberto heard the crack of sonido and the words of the man near him, his brain almost screamed "Shinigami!" He looked to his left, but saw nothing. Haltingly he looked down and found the rather short arrancar before him. He mumbled in response "...Shinigami..." It was close to comedic to see the amnesiac in every day life, he rarely acted with the demeanor of other hollow. As his eyes fell upon the arrancar's neck though, tension seemed to completely leave Adalberto's body.

"Arrancar... Not shinigami. You can fight the shinigami when they come, they'll blame you for killing him!" Adalberto said, free of the imaginary burden that he had bestowed upon himself.

As Adalberto turned to leave, something stopped him though. He looked at Void again and realized that he was barely old enough to be out here. The reminder that arrancar don't age seemed to have left his mind as well, because his next words were near nonsensical.

"Oh, I can't leave a kid like you to take the blame. I could probably fight the shinigami better than you, you're so young. Don't worry, I'll get rid of them for you and then I can take you home, your parents must be worried." With that, Adalberto unsheathed his zanpakuto and waited for the antagonists that were quite unlikely to appear.

[Stone]

What was this scatterbrain mumbling to him self? Something about a shinigami and him being a child? What the hell was that supposed to mean? He could understand the child part, after all he was quite small in build and not really looking that old, but that guy seemed to have quite some problems with his head.

"Listen here. I´m by no means a child, maybe a bit, because I´m quite young, but I don´t need any help from anyone. I just wanted to see what´s up with you. And put that zanpakuto back, there won´t be any shinigami here in the next five minutes. Oh and for my parents, I don´t have any to worry about me."

Now that Void thought about it, it could e quite beneficial to keep a low profil and get this guy, who seemed strong enough to care not about some meager shinigami to bodyguard him or something like that. Therefore he had made the remark about his parents and where his voice had been emotionless until then, it had a slight sound of sadness to it, a good portion as Void thought. Yes, he could still act his way into whatever he wanted and maybe he would profit from this guy. Well, but for now, he would just act a bit more and find out bits by bits of information about this hollow. He seemed so weird, not really liek an arrancar, but nothing like an adjuchas as well. Maybe one of the few rare vasto lorde? That would be quite a find.

"What are you even doing here? It´s quite posible that shinigami will find you here, why are you not in Hueco Mundo?"

[Tenpi Kishou]

Adalberto frowned slightly at the mention of no parents, but otherwise he showed no emotion. He remembered his dad at least, long ago he had entered him into Hueco Mundo's coliseum to fight and kill other hollow. He lost against one of them after being undefeated for a very long time, but he doesn't remember anything about his father after that. Maybe his father just threw him away because he lost, but when he looks back at those memories he often realizes that the Hueco Mundo in the past was much more beautiful, there was actually grass and real trees. With slow realization he looked down at his own clothes then at the young arrancar's in front of him. For the most part, their clothes completely matched, and the source of all of his hatred hurtled back to his mind.

"Aizen." he said, looking upon Stone. "Aizen is in Hueco Mundo... I needed to get out of there for awhile, it was so boring. You work for Aizen, don't you?" with hesitance he sheathed his zanpakuto. He was reminded of the castle of white sand, saw himself in one of the rooms, yelling and screaming at the others. He sat upon a throne of various jewels and gems. "It would be wise to return though, I don't need to be so... available to the shinigami."

Adalberto's turn to seriousness was quick and flawless. He quickly thought that he might scare the small arrancar, but the damage, if any, had been done. It was at this moment that Adalberto showed that he was just as manipulative as any other hollow, no matter how good his intentions truly are.

"It would be a waste to come here and just go right back to Hueco Mundo though." he said, and with that and a boom, he was at the top of a building, halfway across town. If this "boy" could reach the building even half as quickly as he did, Adalberto would easily be able to use pesquisa to check the level of power that he was emitting. If the boy wasn't at least an Espada, talking to him would do no good for Adalberto.

[Stone]

As Void saw the older Arrancar looking at him, he thought he would just try to focus on something, but suddenly even the facial expression of the arrancar seemed to change and he was suddenly serious without apparent reason, not even saying or losing one word more about teh parent´s story. Unexpected but still no loss for him. Well, he hadn´t really thought that any arrancar would be so stupid as to fall for a teary attack, it would but most likely work against shinigami, these guys were much more human as they would ever tell. After all, they protected this worthless of creatures after all. But whatever, they weren´t as bad as humans anyways.

Void was glad, that the other one cheathed his zanpakuto, as otherwise he had have to get his out as well and might have begun to hurt that guy before him. But now it was better, even muttering some stuff about how it was boring with Aizen and all that left Void quite cold and he just listened. But as he was about to say something, like that it would really be a waste and just thought about how he was bored by the endless desert of Hueco Mundo as well, as the other one suddenly used sonido.

As if in trance, Void didn´t even thought about it really, but more instinctively, he used it as well and was beside the other arrancar, before he even could follow what he was doing. What had been that about? Some kind of test? Well, whatever, he wouldn´t mind. He looked at the other guy with emotionless eyes and tried to figure out what had happened as he just began talking.

"My name is Void Stone, nice to make your acquaintance."

That said, he raised his hand and a small smile crawled upon his lips, maybe this guy was interesting after all, the sudden change of mood this test, maybe it would all lead to something once he found out who he was.

[Tenpi Kishou]

He smiled as the arrancar made his way across the town with a single sonido, just as he had. The level of power moving through the town so quickly was hard to detect, the slight output of reiatsu that came from Void was rather relaxed and simple, as if it was insulting to assume that he'd have to put out much energy to travel so far. He was grateful for the mask he wore, for he now smirked in a seemingly absent-minded fashion. But the arrancar had spoken, and it would do him no good to ignore the one that he hoped would be foolish enough to allow him within the walls of Las Noches.

"I am Adalberto Torregrossa." he had been forced to revert back to his human name upon reverting back to the Vasto Lorde state. It was fine with him, his old name was quite egotistical anyway. No, he was not a benevolent leader, and for a second he allowed the thought that fulfilling his plan within Las Noches would only lead to him becoming that awful person again. It left again quickly, he almost laughed at the thought.

It was now that he noticed the smile on Void's face and realized that he was enjoying this as much as Adalberto was. He thought back to the last time he had used his powers and he was reminded of the battle against the few remaining shinigami captains. He hadn't had a chance to fight against a challenging opponent in forever... And really, the only challenge for one such as himself was an Espada-level opponent, numeros were far too easily killed. Your average (if there is such a thing) Vasto Lorde could compete with Gotei 13 Captains, but Adalberto wasn't just a Vasto of course. He was the Masked King, Enmascarado Rey.

So, as his right hand crept out to shake Void's, a hilariously human gesture for the two of them, his left unsheathed his zanpakuto once again and swiped across Void's face menacingly.

"I assume that you aren't wasting your time with me because I'm entertaining. You seek a fraccion, don't you? Show me that you are worthy of my service, Espada. While power may be enough of a promise for you, I pledge allegiance to no man that I can't respect, one that refuses to prove that he is my better." Adalberto said in a rather threatening voice that he didn't know existed until now. He refused to make his old mistakes, but even as he spoke now, Enmascarado Rey was beginning to force himself out of the poor amnesiac.
