Sign of the Times (Event)

Hikaru places the edge of his own soul-synthesized silver blade against the sword, pushing it aside lightly. "Now now," he says, taking two steps back as he points his own shorter blade at his opponent. "I'm sure you can sense my spiritual pressure, or else I would have slipped by without so much as a thought. I can sense yours as well, and I feel almost equal with you. However, you have pointed your sword at me, whereas I merely have a knife. Then again, where you have a sword..." Hikaru uses his Hirenkyaku to speed up onto the top of the pillar his opponent was sitting on top of before, his bow already drawn, a blue-white arrow already strung. "I have a gun for this knife fight."

As quickly as he could, Hikaru releases two arrows aimed directly for the stranger, shooting off another four in quick succession in both horizontal and vertical directions (up, down, left, right). He backflips off the pillar and fires a couple more arrows, using his Hirenkyaku seconds before he hits the water, perched and crouching on one of the fence posts that surrounds the pool of water. Hikaru takes hold of one of his plain arrows with soul-synthesized silver arrowheads, his stealth arrow, and slips it into his sleeve, latching it onto a hidden strap in the sleeve for easy access.

Parius watched the battle between Ashen, and Belphagor. He kept watch, in case any more soldiers appeared, but it seems they were either dead, or retreating. He watched, as Belphagor used a Gran Rey, blowing his own arm off in the process. Idiot. Parius thought, before turning, and leaving. He knew Ashen would soon follow. The weather soon changed, and Parius felt the lightning, when it struck near Ashen's fight. Ashen can handle himself. Parius thought. As he moved towards the carnival.

"I hate carnivals." Parius said, more to himself than anyone. Some guards ran at him, but Parius killed them without much effort. He moved in, and saw a hall of mirrors. Ge was getting bored, and decided to go in. More guards ran at him. Parius sighed, before beheading the first one, and stabbed the other in his chest. The last looked at him, and ran. Parius didn't bother. He was only going to kill the ones who ran at him. He didn't know if ashen followed him, but knew, if the time came, he could find him again. With that, Parius walked into the Hall of Mirrors.

Crawling the the air vent, the red headed teen skillfully yet silently made his way through; he didn't quit know where he was going, but he didn't mind since he was following the large reitsu. he no longer could hear the storm outside, but he did hear a mad man laughing manically; shivers went down the red head spine at the sudden sensation. the vizard was indeed strong, so strong that even his voice had spirit. screams and cries were herd from behind from the vizards prey. they sounded as if they were being ripped apart alive. he hated it, why on earth would someone want to start a war? do they enjoy seeing others fight, seeing the pain it caused others, seeing death all around them? Victory despised what was happening, he was angry that these sick humans really needed to be killed just to stop what they were doing. Victory hated them, but he despised killing even more. moving with stealth and concealing his reitsu he quickend his pace as he made his way through the maze like vent. a spinning fan prevented him from going any farther, the red head grunted; he could have gone the other way, but he sensed a strong presence this way. the space was tight, but the red head was still able to easily twist his body and then slam a kick into the one of the wings of the fan. the fan smashed open causing a very loud racket. [color:blue]"shit!"[/color] he said at the noise continued to echo throughout the vent. that really cracked up his position especially since he was doing so well.



all of a sudden a overwhelming reitsu caught his attention, looking back the red head didn't realize that the part he broke was giving in from his weight. Terror's reitsu was definitely terrifying almost as much as his instict to kill. as the boy hesitated, the floor cracked before giving in, the red head was shocked as he fell through it and landed ontop of a trooper whom was escorting the hallways. [color:blue]"Whoops..."[/color] he comented till one came at him, moving back he slammed a kick right into it's side and into the wall. another was much larger than the red head and attempted to hold him down from behind as another attempted to stab him from in front. these troopers were nothing to be worried about, it was the mere fact that he was attracting attention that bothered him. with the crazy vizard downstairs causing a riot, the red head planned on using him for easy access; not that he couldn't do it with out him, he just didn't really want to kill anybody. as the trooper came at him, the red head elboed the guy behind him in the gut causing him to bend over and allowing the red head to flip him over and at the man who was about to stab him. a cero was suddenly shot by one of them and the red head formed a "V" with his hands in defense. the cero looked as though it made contact, but in fact it was only sucked up. with an annoyed frown he was about to launch it point blank back at him, but then again changed his direction upwards towards the ceiling and shot. the cero instantly destroyed the ceiling and caused rubble to not only fall on the victems, but as well as block the way out.


with a low sigh he turned around and started keeping himself on the wall, with the coalition gun well loaded; he had himself pressed against the wall scanning each area as he made his way up the stairs. he was well ready to shoot any one in his way, looking around he crept his way up the stairs in hopes that it wouldn't have been necesary. he would do everything he could to save the boy, but he didn't really want to spill any more blood than what he had to. too many people died today, but it is still not enough? does everyone really have to die for this nonsence to stop? the red head didn't know, he was young and so he thought differently than most people. when he didn't understand something, he pushed to understand even if it didn't make sence. little did the boy know that the cause of this war isn't something to understand, isn't something he would easily accept neither. praying that the kid would be alright, he quickly quickend his pace in order to reach the main lab room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

upon seeing his most loyal subject diabolical grin, he snapped out of his thoughts; he bowed and began to drift away as he spoke. he didn't belive anyone was able to destroy him, Ryozo was one of his finest and tallented men. not only was he strong, but he was very crafty; a soft chuckle escaped his lips before he turned back to his sweet dear friend as he directed a few of his men. how many dear and sweet memories had they made when they were young. as Jack pointed, Shriek looked his direction; the group that were taking the test subject away... or pacifically said his "Pet" were fooling around when Jack raised his voice making them hurry up out of fear. how he wanted to spend sometime adoring and toying with his toy; it took every cell in his body as to not walk over and take what was his. he will play with his pleasurable toy, just as soon as he gets rid of the intruders he would play. for a while now he had been fantasizing over the young child; such desire, pain and twisted pleasure was in store for the young child. oh how he loved feeling of the child squirming beneath him and what joy he got out of preforming his pervers desires. the rattling of the building shook snapped the wicked demon from his thoughts, his eyes slightly narrowed as he used pesquisa to see what was wrong. his men were dying, one by one. this made him furious, brought him pure disgust and hatred flor destroying the one pure beings he created. leaving the room, he knew very well to count of his friend to take care of the lab as he made his way towards the castle.


as he walked he whistled a strange melody as the most wicked thoughts ran through his mind about the human race and what he would do. such impurity, such repugnance; humans were so fragile that it disgusted him. how day after day people would live there life as if nothing happend, as if no one suffered as if they themselves have nothing wrong with them. it's dispicable... its putrid... its pitiful... but it will soon be over, countless purified comrades have died now and more are dying. no matter, they would always be remembered as the ones who fought for there knew race. everything requires a sacrifice... especially for the remaking of the new world. as lightning flickered, it reflected a crooked shadow of the evil man. this world was like a great black pit, and it was crawling with vermin who are filled with shit; these vermin called themselves human, the dominating race. but not for long... they will all die, they all deserve to die while they dance and parade over there grave... no, they will all die like flies, so much so that the live will be walking on the dead. the new race will prevail yes or yes and the impure will be punished and seased to exist. he was determined to have his vengence and pour out his salvation for every bloody human who are ready to be baptized out of this hell and serve him the knew Lord while the rest of his men that gave their lives for them will lay in ashes but will not have to worry for the kingdom of glory is theres.

as he finally came to a stop, he found himself gazing out the window; the view before him was everything he had expected. the rain poured violently upon the dead and the live that were killing one another. it was all worth his race, however there was a silent voice in the back of his head screaming at him. not that he cared to listen, but something bad was about to happen and Lord Requiem would regret it one way or another. his bright eye scanned the area and watched the warriors fight. he was going to see for himself how they did and how they would fall. not one of them were going to win, they will all die. they will take on no prisoners unless they desire to be purified and saved. Victory shall be there's by dawn, yes or yes he will prevail...

RYOZO

Ryozo watched from his shadowy perch less human then shadow. His behemoth had formed but in it’s stupidity forgotten it’s order. However that was hardly a problem as it would soon serve its purpose. Driven by smell the creature charged forward drawn to the one scent more powerful then its master’s command… Blood. Releasing an ear shattering roar it charged through a wall bursting through stone and colored fabric to reach outside charging towards the fallen form of belephagor Cain, still sizzling from the lightening. It’s massive tentacle whipped out grasping the fallen comrade and consuming him whole. Turning its’ gapping maw it smelt the form of the Vizard Ashen. It’s mutated body pivoted and charged it’s long tentacle arms whipping through the air back and forth trying to smash into its’ prey.

Amused by his servants’ bloodlust the shadowy specter of Ryozo followed the hulking behemoth through the newly made door. A formless shadow on the ground he carved his way behind the behemoth spotting something interesting, a glance from one invader towards the one who had entered the house of mirrors. Moving silently his shadow entered the house casting no reflection as it moved along the floor eventually reaching Parius. Forming behind him with a grin, the demonic clown stepped forward entering Parius’s shadow and sitting back in the corner of his mind ready to take over in a moments notice. He had been corporeal for but a second, long enough to touch the mans shadow and sink within it, yet still his presence would have been noticed. Still now he sat still slowly shaping a new world in his mind, the world his victim would eventually inhabit, as Ryozo slowly became Parius’s shadow.

Walter

Walter looked at his comrade and felt a deep burning desire to rip off his skin and dance around with it like a cloak. Oh how wonderful such a dance would be, filled with ecstasy and delight like the burning of children or the hanging of women. Still he had little time for such pleasures as a sight caught his eye, a wonderful sight that filled his heart with glee. A bunny a giant rabbit had arrived on the island and was currently making lude gestures to call him from the bowels of the layer. Moving with his lack luster and rather uninteresting comrade Walter said nothing ignoring the boring man and his dietary remarks. In his mind he was already with the soft lovely rabbit, dancing to the tune of chaos in steps of blood.

Stepping out of the elevator a long zanpakuto hard glass chain curling into a disk which he blissfully stepped upon rising into the air and soaring towards his furry friend, arriving but a few minutes later he descended slowly from the sky his body splayed like Jesus on the cross until he reached his destination just a few feet from his prey. “Greeting and salutations my fated foe, oh such beauty… Do you hear it? Do you hear calls of the music death and blood and romance and pain. Hardly can I contain my enthusiasm… My desire, come let us dance, through this turbulent world two lovers lost in the agony of despair. Until the time comes that I can rip your eyes from your skull to better see from your point of view.” Finished with his soliloquy and not waiting for nor needing a reply, thick white smoke congealed into a silvery pistol in hand which he pointed at his prey and fired three times. His bullets were as fast as a bala but twice as strong and very small, he oh so hoped they would tear through flesh and bone as they hurtled towards the rabbits chest.

Balfagar staggered back. despite taking a wound, he spoke to Ashen confidently, and fired a gran ray. Caught off gaurd he had less than a second to react. He pulled on his hollow mask aand threw up his arms, and he hit the ground slidding on his back and with a kick flipped himself to his feet. His clothing was ruined, his arms charred from the energy of the attack.

For a moment, he was staggered, but he regained himself, gripped his weapon and charged. However his foe was struck down before him, by a powerful bolt of lightning. Ashen looked about with a curse.he hated people interfearing. However it seemed no one was nearby. Shrugging, Ashen turned to follow after his disciple.

Moments after balfagar died, a massive bug with tentacles came charging out ond snatched up his opponants corpse, and swallowed it in a few bites. The beast sniffed the air and turned towards Ashen. It charged, whipping its massive tentackles towards Ashen. Ashen darted towards and shunpo'd up and over the bug, landing behind it. He considered how to get through that thick shell as it turned Around.

"You bit off more than you can chew, big fella." Ashen said. FIght to live, Fura Ana." Ashen said, and his swords transformed in a flash of light, becoming A long sword and Dirk. The blades began to vibrate as they were charged with reiatsu. Like this, they could cut through a strong hierro, so the bugs armor shouldn't stand much of a chance.

Ashen changed and jumped slashing across the thins back as he flew past, hopefully cutting though the things armor.

______________________________________________________________________________

Jack continued to type away at the computer, sending orders to the men bolow who were currently hearding twisted beings through back passages in the building, staight to this lab. in a couple of minutes, the five monstrosities he had created by mistake would arrive and rip his enemy to shreads. hopefully Tsuna and Gokudera would last long enough for them to get here. Jack liked them, more than he liked most subbordinates, despite the fact Gokudera didn't seem to understand how to respect his superiors.

Kazma nods to the Committee troopers that came over to finish off the pathetic of the human race. Sure, Kazma was a human, but after They messed with his DNA with the damn bracers {technically} Kazma was part hollow. Sometimes, even to this day, Kazma keeps on trying to figure if he was still part hollow or if it's gone, but can never reach a consensus. While waiting for the foe, Kazma takes off his shinigami uniform and tosses it onto the camera, in which the haori landed in a way that it blocked the lens. As always, Kazma was wearing his dark blue jeans that had his master's OZ championship belt going through the belt loops, and his red puffy-ish vest with nothing underneath it to cover Kazma's skinny, flat, and slightly-emaciated front. Then his right eye starts to feel a little strained...

His right eye hollowfies, but Kazma gave off now hollow energy/reiatsu or vizard mask-formation kind of thing. No, it happens only when there is a hollow within 100 meters around him... A side-effect to being 10-15% hollow due to the genetic modifications that the bracers that 'They' made him had, just like a side-effect being transformed into a bunny-man. Kazma looks around him, standing in one spot, trying to find this hollow so he can kill it before his opponent arrives, but he doesn't see or sense or smell or hear hollow. That was when a man that was flying had landed a few feet in front of Kazma. Kazma wonders who this man is and was about to make a note asking who he is, but had no time since the man was the one who spoke (in a sense) first. He was talking about, from what the man called it, 'the symphony of war, chaos, and death'. Kazma was not paying that much attention to this man's speech since it sounded like the words of a madman, but was paying more attention to a subtle feature of this man's face...

His eyes... both of his eyes were hollowfied. He looked like a human and had the smell of a human on him, but he also had the eyes of a hollow and had a more dominant scent of a hollow. Heh. Ironic on how 'It's' ('It' is what Kazma's calling the enemy forces) abomination is going to fight 'They's' abomination. Two people who became differrent beings through experimentation, but are totally different personalities. This death loving being must have underwent the experimentation under his own free will.

Kazma notices the silvery pistol forming in the man's hand, then he barely shunpos backupwards so that he is skywalking. Kazma looks at his left arm and saw that one of the shots went through his left shoulder, causing some bleeding. It didn't look serious, but it was going to be the most serious wound this man was going to do to Kazma.

Kazma tosses his zanpakuto in the air so it was a foot above his head. He then smashes his zanpakuto with both of his bracers on the hilt. His zanpakuto goes to shikai, and the hilt grew another blade on the other end of the hilt. Kazma smirks as he telepathically says to the man, "Heh. Might provide some fun you can. You may call me King Kazma, but that wouldn't matter. What is your name, so I know what to put on the tombstone of a fellow experiment."

Whether or not the man answers, Kazma uses his super sprint up in front of the man in less than a milisecond. He then uses a single-rocket punch and aims it towards the man's abdomen, hoping to launch him a good distance over the sea. Kazma then cringes a little because he feels his shoulder blade scraping against the cero bullet wound. Kazma tosses his sword to the side, wanting to fight this man with his fists... For now. He then stands and waits for the next attack.

(OOC: Event no longer postponed.)

The bug like thing that his master summoned went after Arisu after she released her shikai. Levi was about to attack again when she disappeared, stabbing in his kidney, then stabbing him in the throat. Electricity surged as he blew himself up in a fifty yard radius with the power of a Gran Rey Cero from a 1-5 arrancar. Levi was no more.

(OOC: Parry, you can use your mods, just not bankai and you're still at 2-3 in this thread.)

Lambo knew the vizard was now inside. He was shaking in his boots. Still, he fired two bolts of lighting the power of a hado 20 from an expert. The lightning bolts bounced from mirrior to mirrior throughout the maze. They found their target. It was time to show everyone what he got, despite his cowardice. Also, above Parius, a blue lightning bolt with the power of a cero also crashed down. "I am Lambo Bovino, and you will bow to me! Or die!" Lambo's voice echoed throughout the maze, no indication of where he was or anything...though he did sound more confident than what he really was.

Rallen died a horrible horrible death...killed by unicorns...that speared their horns into him...then ate him...and then expoded.

________________________________________________________________

Hibari was pushed back from the kick to the chest. This herbavore had some skill it seemed. The man now had some mean looking gauntlets. Like someone he knows and respects, currently fighting near the entrance to the lab. But he apparently thought he had a "range" limit with his weapon. He just looked at the man with steel eyes as he tried to punch his face after a half hearted feint. He hit the gauntlet away with his right tonfa, spinning for a kick to the ribs, interrupting whatever he was about to do next.

With the next swing of his left tonfa, he fired an energy wave the power of a hado 50 that carved through the base if it missed (meaning it cuts, the comparason is there in case you get hit). The second swing of his other tonfa did the same. But they lost the enhanced power. No matter. Hibari was already physically strong, and was basically an all physical fighter. Those cutting beam attack were the strongest at his disposal, not even his cero was that strong.

The skylark continued again with a barrage of tonfa blows, wary of this herbavores blocks. He was gonna break those arms sooner or later. One aimed for the head, another directly to the gauntlet before the second aimed at the arm of either weapon, the chainmail can only do so much. The oddest thing though, a fairly large hedgehog with rather large spikes was perched on top of his head. As Hibari jumped back, the hedgehog curled into a ball after jumping off the head. And expanded to fill the entire hall. It started to roll at significant speeds...towards Kano.
_____________________________________________________________

The bottom of Tsuna's shoes were reinforced reiatsu enhanced metals, just as strong as a zanpakutou, specially developed by Ryozo. Though the blade to the foot did force him to kick off it. When he moved, Tsuna barely saw him. Gokudera was already somewhat prepared when Terror moved, bringing up his gauntlet. The man stared at him for a second, just enough to put something between his chest the the blade. The silver haired teen was tossed back, the gauntlet cut but not all the way through. But he also left a dozen tubes around the guy's feet. They expoded in gobs of sticky gel that ignited when it comes into contact with oxygen. The flames would last for two posts, burning all the while. It would also interrupt whatever moves the guy was about to make. Gokudera is immune to his own attacks.

Tsuna fired a couple of fast fire balls at Terror, the speed and power of a bala. Which was followed by a blood red cero from Gokudera, which was average for his power level. The brunette also charged in, igniting himself in flames. Once he was at point blank range, or the man got within point blank range of him, Tsuna would explode in a five yard radius with the power of a Gran Rey, but had a three post cooldown. The boy himself would be unharmed.

(Edit: OOC: If you made mods., you may use them in this thread, considering how long I postponed this. HOWEVER, if you did not have bankai/full vizard form/equivalents when this thread started, then you do not have them now. And your tiers are the same as what they were when this thread started.)

Kano was a bit surprised by the spin kick and dropped his elbow to block that along with hoping a mere centimeter off the ground the go with the kick. Then came the energy wave. Kano dashed and did a front flip over the horizontal wave and landed in a slide under the second one. He ignored the impact behind and got pretty close to the man in the process. The first strike of the ton fa hurt even though it was blocked. Kano needed to think of a away to lower the momentum of the attack. The gauntlets began to release metallic dust with each hit. It still hurt but the dust began to form creating a cushion for the blows. The strike at the head Kano ducked over. It was tough but he was keeping up with this man's moves who was about as fast as he was. Then came the most unpredictable attack Kano has seen, a giant porcupine. God this guy seemed familiar, almost as if he was the living character of Hibani, from hired fighter rebirth. Kano only seen one episode of that Japanese anime, only seeing the porcupine once, so that info would not help him in any way shape or form.
((OOC:AS IN its just a funny remark, it is not gonna give Kano Metagaming powers ))

Kano got a few scratches and his shoulder was wounded from concussive impact, the spikes didn't penetrate the chain mail. That’s it, Kano needed to get on the offensive. He dropped his hollow mask on, and hollow energy more than his shinigami filled the room with some great strength, he seemed more like an arrancar that shinigami. He formed and shot two cero right away blasting the porcupine away, then shunpou'ed around it to Hibari. He struck a straight jab, however at the same time, a metal structure pipe from the ground shot up like a bamboo spike right at Hibari's neck. He then did the same spin kick and created two bala in his hands. Instead of firing them he smashed them together and they began to glow almost like fire in his hands.

He shunpou'ed behind the man and sent a strong right punch at the back along with another shunpou creating an afterimage in front of Hibari, then the oddest thing, Kano was less than a centimeter behind the after image releasing another punch to the face and the after image looked like a weird fusion of him standing and punching at the same time. At the end of the punch an instant cero would be fired. Each punch during this move would feel like a bala.

Arisu managed her two strikes and grinned, which was only lasted for a few moments. Electricity spewed out of the man and exploded, sending the girl flying into a wall as the powerful explosion hit her. Her clothes were torn here and there, burns covered her body and a few gashs were shown. Lucky for her, though, she only had one broken rib. The girl groaned as she forced herself to stand, move forward and continue on her way to find her only friend in the multiverse.

Shunpo was her best friend as she darted down the corridor heading further into the base, killing guards left and right to get where she was going. Nothing would stop her, except death and that... wasn't happening very easily. (If I am correct, if she continued through she would end up where the leader was right? or could she find her way to the lab where Rui was? I'll let you decide)

___________________________________________________________________________


Yamamoto lazily looked behind him and found the man with a bow instead of his original short sword. A small smile appeared on his lips and disappeared as he (flash stepped?) away from the arrows, dodging them before they got too close together. As he ran from incoming arrows, his hand snapped and from the water appeared a water sparrow. The bird shot straight at his opponent in attempt for his heart. However, he also knew that the man had to stop firing to dodge or parry so he turned and ran towards his opponent.

As the man ran, water began spiraling around him with a point where his sword was. This ability was incredibly dangerous if you touched any part of the water, like razors it was. After that, he would turn and attack the man's side with a direct swing from his sword. Yama wasn't to be reckoned with, even for someone that had his strength or about his strength.

Hikaru watched as the bird formed out of the pool water is launched towards him. With a swift turn, he cuts the bird cleanly in two with his short sword, going from defence to offence in quick succession. Mere observation of the structures made out of the water told Hikaru that it would be ill-advised to touch any part of the liquid that was made into the forms they now held, and judging by the consistency of the sparrow he cut through, it would be as hard as steel, for the sake of being akin to steel.

"It has already come to this, has it?" Hikaru says to himself, loud enough for his opponent to hear, snapping a tube from his belt. From the silver tube extends a vibrating blade of pure reiatsu. The bow is quickly shifted out of his offhand and the short sword replaces it. The Seele Schneider now takes the main hand. Hikaru knew he had to take care of the water blades, however. Pulling out a set of four Ginto tubes, he cracks it open and charges forward as well. "Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice!" Hikaru cries out, throwing them forward; they begin to leak reiryoku, which begins to evaporate, the tubes spread out in to a pattern that encloses the opponent in a 2-D box. "Heizen!" A rectangle of pure energy is fired from between the four Ginto tubes, using the tubes as the corners, determining its size and shape. The beam barrels towards Hikaru's opponent. Its sharpness mimics, if not exceeds, that of the water blades formed around the opponent. If he attempts to dodge, Hikaru fires his stealth arrow from his bow, before charging once more at the opponent. If the blow is blocked, the strength of the Heizen will destabilize the water enough for Hikaru to lunge forward with his Seele Schneider, which, if blocked by the water, will destabilize it further and slowly begin to subjugate the spirit particles that form it.

Parius was about to leave the Mirror house, when he was hit with two bolts, right in his back. He fell to the dirt below, and turned to his hurting back, when he saw a blue lightning bolt, coming straight at him. Parius rolled, but when the bolt hit, he got pushed back a bit. Parius got back up, and started moving around, making sure everything in his body worked. He then looked at the House of Mirrors, and walked back towards it. He had heard the message that the person inside had thrown at Parius. Whatever intentions this Lambo guy had, Parius had taken it, as a challenge to fight.

Parius walked into the building, and felt a shiver go down his spine. He had always hated these things. He kept to one wall, and moved slowly, being cautious, for once. Parius then realized that Lambo probably knew this place, inside and out, and could probably see him. He smiled. "I don't know where you are, but I will find you, Lambo!" Parius said. He then punched a mirror, to have it shatter. "I will sweep this entire place. "You wanted a fight, you got one." He growled.

Quickening his pace in order to reach the main lab, the red head suddenly paused as he felt a spiritual pressure nearby. Leaping back into the ventilation shafts, he went towards the spiritual pressure. He reached it rather quickly as he stopped over a few people and stared. It was a more secured area then all of the rest, seeing as though it was packed with people. However not too many people would have guessed that someone would attempt to come in through the ventilation shafts. His left cyber eye instantly glowed a crimson red as he began to scan the area. Having implanted this special prosthetic eye he was able to see a color system that told him how strong or how weak an enemy was. Though what he saw wasn’t what he was expecting to see; the room had strong beings in it, however the strongest spiritual pressure came from the tank that was holding the arrancar. “Damn…” he whispered and then sighed as he closed his eyes in order to concentrate. For a brief moment he was silent as his body began to flare electric like reitsu, his eyes suddenly opened revealing a blue glow; a sign of his reitsu increasing.

Outside the room, it was silent as the guards walked back and forth; they were keeping an eye out for anything, but they were still prepared for what was coming. All of a sudden a massive wave was launch directly into the room as if it were a ginormous fire hose-spray. The wave not only launched several guards into and threw the walls, but it also triggered the alarm. The wave continued for about twenty seconds before stopping, the room was now completely wet and some sparks were flying from the broken machines though around the arrancar it seemed perfectly stable. A few men attempted to stand though they were completely shaken up from the sudden surprise attack, but they were instantly slammed back down as Victory came at them with a tornado punch. The bunch both flew in separate directions and slammed against the walls. Victory now fist implanted into the ground slowly rose and looked around until he saw the tank. Sprinting up and over towards the tank he tried to open it, but it had a special code on it. “You have seriously got to be kidding me…” he said in annoyance as he looked back at the arrancar. He looked no older than twelve; markings covered his body from who knows what they did to him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of there!” he said sounding very angry at the sight of the child. Swinging his right leg, he slammed a loud and strong kick to the tank. It vibrated, but it didn’t even crack due to the fact that it was made much stronger than what it looked. Raising an eyebrow his fist suddenly emitted miniature tornados. Wind began blow wildly around him as he slammed his fist into the tank, the tank cracked and so he slammed his other fist into it making the crack larger and larger. He was being quite careful as to not injure the arrancar, but at the same time break him free before the other strong spiritual pressure he had felt in the other room came in. The sounds of loud crashing sounds filled the room as he was using a determined strength to crack open the tank and let the water do the rest that way he wouldn’t get any glass on the kid. Water began to spurt out through the small holes and he stopped watching glass piece and glass piece begin to chip away from the water that was forcing itself to come out. Inching himself away from the tank as more and more holes were being made by the exploding water; he awaited as kept enough distance between him and the tank, that way once it breaks he would be able to scoop the child up and into his arms way before he could crash onto the floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the top floor of the base, Requiem stood there gazing out into his island. Bodies were stacked upon bodies of several different races. For a brief moment he stood in silent, but then as if he had an idea he instantly turned towards his desk where there was a table with a very famous looking puppet known as Billy. “Hello there Billy, are you ready to play?” he said taking on a different tone of voice as if he were talking to a friend. Picking up the puppet, he turned towards his cameras. One showed the entrance, the other the stairs, another in the hallway, a second set of stairs, an even bigger room that was like a maze an elevator and finally his room. However the castle was completely filled with booby traps, the main room had a few unstable wooden floor; once it were to be stepped on the individual would break through meeting up with deadly pointed metal bar stakes which will cut their thighs and hips, or stab them through the back. On the first stairway there was implanted Jigsaws original trap called the electrical staircase which this trap consisted of a staircase with a rigged step surrounded by a chain link cage. The rigged step would spring forward and break the shins of the victim if enough pressure was applied to the stair below. This would also cause the cage door to shut. The cage would then be charged with an electric current giving anyone in contact with it a lethal shock with the effect of a kidou 40. In the hallway lie many rooms which only one room will lead to the staircase. However each room has a trick to it.

The first room is a room where once entered both doors are shut off with a wall. Spikes appear towards the right of each door and the walls begin to close in, in order to crush the individual. However in the center of the room there is two holes big enough to put a hand in, in one is the trigger to stop the walls from closing in and reveal the doors again while in the other is the key to the door. The key is able to unlock both doors, though the door that is across from the entrance would lead to a dead end with Billy the puppet sitting in a wheel chair making cackling sounds as he sprays steam directly at the opponents capable of causing second degree burns. The room across the first room has a machine in the middle and another door across the room. Once entered both doors would be sealed by fire. With each second the flames would inch closer and closer towards the target, in order to free themselves they must stick both hands inside a metal box on top of the machine and press a button, causing a metal rod to pierce their hand in order to push up the key through the top which is easily obtainable by using ones mouth. Once the key is pulled out the fire will stop allowing the target to walk either out or continue through the next door. The next door has Billy the puppet whom will then cackle and blow out fire like a flamethrower. The second room has rusty floors that will easily break letting the person fall back to the first floor and onto an area where they have the deadly pointed metal bar stakes. It is a game of luck to fall through the right side of the floor to find the key hooked around one of the deadly pointed metal bar stake. At the end of the room there is also a door with Billy the puppet inside who cackles and will launch several blades at the target if attempted to enter the room. The last room across from that is the room that contains the staircase it has absolutely no floor and consists a huge pit of various dirty glass shard blades. A tape recorder will begin as soon as an individual enters telling them how if they really want to make him suffer, they themselves will have to suffer first. The area is very resistant towards all kidou and the iron walls weigh tons; the way to make it towards the door to the staircase one must get in the glass and dig in for a key, there are many keys which all are able to open the door in front of them; however it is one key per person which the 3 ton doors would quickly close after only one person enters. The trick is all of the keys in that floor will work on every door on that floor and so it wouldn’t matter if one made a wrong choice of room since they will still get a key to the staircase.

The stairs will have only six explosives that are activated once they are stepped on, one will not activate the others and so one must be extremely careful when walking up them. the long staircase leads directly towards a huge room which looks like a ball room divided into a maze by a barbed wired cage, there are five ways to get to the end, one must decide if they want to go by fire, water, steam, Ice, blades or by acid. The fire path leads through a tight paths of heated barbed wire and constant holes that blow fire every few seconds or so. As one continues on this path the path will become more and narrower until the end where the individual must climb up to the top, though during this climb the wall is completely barbed and so it will be very painful to climb. The water path is a path made into the floor, one must completely submerge themselves and continue through the path, it is very narrow and has a few breathing areas except for the very end which is very tight in order to go up the tube. The steam path, the icy path and the blade path is just like the fire path except done with steam and razors and as well the icy path is under thirty degrees with almost unavoidable sprays of freezing cold water that attempt to slowly freeze the body. The acid path is made of barbed wire all around except for the bottom which has no bottom if anything it has a pool of acid. To cross it one must hold onto the top and swing as if it were the monkey bars, though they are filled with the sharp barbed wire. Once at the top there is a place where an elevator is though once entered it will drop and so they must climb all the way to the top while fighting some bats (About 2-5 each). As soon as they reach the top they will be at the main room where Shriek Requiem dwells…
