(OPEN) Pets and Penalties

Swaying back and forth, a solitary animal hung from a light post, in a city full of humans. Its insidious claws scratching the metal post as it swung gently in the wind. A wind which carried a foul stench across the city streets of Karakura, this odor of death and rot which could easily cause one to vomit if they came too close to the source. However, this source of foulness would be hard to ascertain, but common sense also ruled, the closer one was to the source, the stronger then stench would become. Yet, despite this odor floating through the city, all still went on as usual; for the source of the scent was that of an animal swaying on top of a light post, over a vacant street. None entered or exited the block, which street was old and cracked, the tar needing repair.

Sloth, both in name, rank, and being slept peacefully from its perch, upside down. Its mossy fur glistening in the sunlight of afternoon, the sky overcast, with a twenty percent chance of rain. With arms outstretched Sloth, nestled in its fur, took the form of an older adult sloth. Being about two feet in height at the moment. Its snout nestled closely to its fur. To any passerby, nothing would be out of the ordinary, except for the fact that it wreaked of filth, and had strapped to its back, a small book bag, full of assorted candies.

As a siren went off a few streets over, possibly an ambulance, Sloth awoke, its eyes opening slowly to the sun light over head. Slowly, so ever carefully, Sloth reached its left arm behind its back and took out a small piece of gum, which it cautiously unwrapped, then ate. Its teeth, as hard as zanpaktou metal, but naturally formed, crunching the hard layer of the gumball, before it chewed normally. Dropping the empty wrapper on its stomach, the Demon of Sloth yawned loudly, as it moved down the light post, without a care in the world. The wrapper falling from its stomach on the climb down into a trashcan directly below.

Upon reaching the street it looked at the empty streets, seeing the place empty it started heading into the more busy district of Karakura, where shops would be frequent, and people more common. All the time, the stench of decay and filth followed the sinner animal. The sloth taking its sweet time, deciding to look for one of its superiors, which had disappeared on their own, leaving the lonely animal, which understood all language to its own devices. Though, in mid crawl, Sloth decided to find a store that sold candies, as the sinner wanted to replenish its supply. On all fours, and traveling slowly, the animal casually walked into the business district of Karakura, as many people fled from its stench, and most about, if not already, vomiting. Its sinner energy very well suppressed, making it appear to be a rather odd animal, but an animal nonetheless.

Bam. A quincy arrow hit right infront of the path of the creature that had been causing sickness in town for quite some time. The arrow was, of course, shot by Mia Baonaru the resident archery club sensei and patrolling quincy. She looked really funny though because she had her nose plugged..having vomitted with many other people earlier when this creature walked by she had ran home and grabbed the plug so that she couldn't smell. After the initial shot she put her earbuds in and turned her mp3 player on to get her pumped up. It had been a while she she slew a monster and this thing certainly wasn't human..thus was a monster. She had actually gotten really fond of slaying monsters. it ment there was one less monster in the world to hurt her friends at the archery club.

"I don't know what you are or who you are but you do not belong here. Return to the abyss from which you came!" Mia shouted as she started to fire upon the beast without hesitation. Now that she thought about it. What exactly WAS this thing? She was curious because of her ties to the Coalition..otherwise she just wanted it dead.. she wanted them all dead. Why? Because they were the reason she trained so hard throughout her life and had been deprived of a real life til recently with the archery club.

"Teka!" she said as she fired another slightly fatter arrow that would have exploded if it came within 15 feet of the creature named sloth, though she didn't know its name yet. This explosion would at least slightly injured the creature unless it was made of steel..and she really hoped it wasn't because that would make this alot more annoying than she wanted it to be. She did have places and things to do after all.

After that she noticed people were still more busy vomitting then trying to flee so she figured a shout out to them might get them moving. "Get out of here all of you! This thing is the cause of your problems! Flee as fast as you can!" after thinking about it while keeping her eyes on the creature hoping it was dead by now..she probably should have warned them first then shot at the creature. It may kill one or two before they all run away now..she could only wait for the smoke from her explosive shot to clear to find out.

With a dissatisfaction only a sinner could have, Sloth looked lazily at the arrow which had planted itself in the animal's path. Not startled in the least, Sloth turned its head to witness a stranger with her nose plugged up, and holding a bow. Though, the sinner didn't really care for the annoyance, it did think a once in a time chance had sprung up. The Demon of Sloth already ditching the idea of stealing candy to sate its desire, and now it turned its focus on the enemy, who seemed rather impulsive. The person screaming at the bystander animal who only was on a walk.

Yawning slowly, Sloth turned to face its opponent head on as she started speaking the normal cliche, which Sloth had heard a dozen times over. The sinner not bothering to speak just yet, as it was busy counting how many of the same heroic lines it had heard before in its thirty years of life. So far it had run out of fingers to count. Shrugging it off, by the time Sloth stopped worrying about what the woman said, the stranger had shot of another arrow, this one larger. All the while, Sloth ran between bystander's to dodge the incoming barrage of arrows, using civilians as cover, and trash cans, and other objects found in the city. The animal bored.

Not one to take chances in combat, Sloth moved with great speed, as it ran away a good distance from the larger arrow, which had then exploded on contact with the ground. Licking its lips, Sloth looked at the woman with fun lit eyes, having found something worth fighting. Though since the arrow exploded there was a layer of smoke which covered the area. But as the smoke was covering for the few precious seconds, the demon laughed to itself as the woman cried out to the passerby's to flee. The animal adding a tally to that line and similar ones.

Using the smoke as a cover, Sloth stretched its claws as it jumped from the cover, not having killed anyone, as it did not really care to, the animal charged forward with its teeth bared, not bothering to speak. Not bothering to hold back its power, Sloth unleashed its wrath, as it came forth. Its foul odor coming closer and closer, and its entire body if touched being able to cause severe burns like a hollow's acidic touch, but more powerful and able to penetrate spiritual energy.

Staying low to the ground, Sloth chose not to jump, as it noticed its enemy was a ranged type fighter, staying to the ground Sloth ran with its power and when it came close enough, slashed twice at the woman's left shin and knee, while at the same time using its arms to lounge in a stabbing motion at the stranger's wrist and stomach. The creature's claws as strong as zanpaktou metal, but naturally formed. The sinner keeping up the barrage of attacks, as its odor would be nearly unbearable for the average person at such close parameters. If Sloth made contact with the woman, she would experience burns, and the place of contact would become filthy, itchy, irritated, and case muscle cramps and general pain.

The people nearby had started to flee as her exploding shot went off. Apparently fear was a better motivator to run while puking than simply being told to run away. This actually made Mia a bit sad.. she tried to warn them before anything happened but they were so focused on their first bit of bad luck that they weren't paying attention at all. However she noticed the creature she had fired at was not dead because as the smoke started to clear it had already begun it's charge at her. Was this thing a hollow? Smelled awful for a hollow..did the thing never bath or something? Even with her noseplug on the stench was almost overwhelming her when it came closer.

It wasn't enough to keep her from reacting though she did gag during her movements. It didn't want a hug it wanted to take off her leg. She hirenyaku'd away and fired an arrow before using hirenyaku multiple times around the creature at a good distance away. Firing a couple of arrows each time she stopped. She still hadn't figured out what this thing was. It was no longer hiding it's spiritual energy but she hadn't felt a spiritual energy like this before. Oh well.. she would report it to the coalition after she had taken care of it. After all what good was it alive to anyone? it was a monster.

Mia was showing her concern on her face though. So far she was fairly certain she was going to puke again even with the noseplug if that thing continued to be near her. So she did the next best thing. She reached into her bag on her back and pulled out a bottle of air freshener and started spraying it in the air like a maniac trying to clean the air. It was a pretty funny sight but she didn't let her eyes off the creature while she did this..lest it try to attack her during her small action. When the bottle was empty she stopped and fired an arrow that disappeared from sight only for it to reappear very close to the creatures skull.

At this point she was hoping to end this fight quickly. The thing was horrid and she, as a girl, was really not liking the whole smell like old rotting shit concept that this creature seemed to release. Unfortunately her nose plug failed her for a moment and she caught a wiff of the monster. Instantly puking to the side while doing everything she could to keep her eyes on the thing in case it tried something now. She started planning a strategy to attack it from a much larger distance.. maybe..one of the rooftops nearby?

So she jumped and Hirenyaku'd to get higher so that she got ontop of the rooftops..being quite out of range of the things smell from being up so high. It allowed her to focus a bit more as she wiped remnants of vomit from her mouth. She then began to rain hell down upon the creature making damned sure it wasn't going to get any closer to her than it already was. She did not stop firing arrows at it and she kept her accuracy as good as she could with such rapid fire.

To Sloth's disappointment, by the time the sinner reached its opponent, the woman and fled a greater distance away and shot off a few arrows again, and repeated the attack a few times. With quick thinking, Sloth reached down and stabbed its hardened claws into a manhole cover, as the first shots came, Sloth somersaulted a dodge, then as the last attack of arrows came Sloth flung the manhole cover like a Frisbee with extreme strength as Sloth could have just as easily thrown a car if it wanted to. Then Sloth quickly dived into the sewer hole it had just taken the lid off of. The sinner dipping itself in the sewage to make itself even more filthy, the smell not bothering the animal at all.

With a sigh, Sloth jumped out of another sewer opening, immediately taking the new manhole cover and flung it at the woman who was cleaning the air at the time. Focusing its spiritual energy to make the sewer lid slightly stronger, Sloth whipped the lid of solid metal at the archer who at the time was supposedly cleaning the air. Whether or not either manhole covers hit their target, Sloth spun itself around reaching for a nearby car, and yanking off a car door. The two foot sloth holding the piece of car like a shield, as it channeled its spiritual energy into the car door as a shinigami would its zanpaktou. Using the door as a shield, Sloth charged forward. To its disappointment an arrow was fired and disappeared half way, only to reappear in front of the Sloth's makeshift shield. The car door taking the hit rather well, the arrow stopped in its tracks before reaching the animal.

Whether or not the woman fired a rain of arrows, Sloth kept moving as it looked through a hole in the car door as if the thing was a riot shield. All the while, with its free claw, Sloth yanked a hubcap from a parked car, and flung the thing over the top of the car door aimed at the woman, the animal keeping its eyes on its opponent unflinchingly. As it saw a point of weakness when the person seemed preoccupied with loosing her lunch, crashing through the building, below where the enemy was situated, the rain of arrows would prove useless unless they were shot from the roof downwards through the levels of the building. The Sloth taking its shield up the stairs of the building and hiding out in a closer space. The animal staying yanking a guardrail from the staircase and using it as a makeshift spear of some sort. While shortening the car door so it would cover the Sloth's body but still be able to fit in a narrow hallway. The sinner then waited on the ground floor in the lobby of the building, where the archer was above. The smell of sewage and decay tainting the air.

And as the sinner waited, it made several makeshift javelins from the same stair case's guard railing. Having at least five sharpened metal stakes to throw with great strength and truest aim. The javelins jammed in its backpack which it still had on its back.

Mia had already been using hirenyaku when the creature threw the first manhole at her..so that one missed horribly. But then while she was cleaning the air it threw another one that she had to hop over. Luckily her bottle was nearly empty anyways though she had still puked due to this things stench. When she got to the top of the building to execute her long ranged assault though the creature had charged into the building she was on using a car door as a shield.

..ok..so usually Mia would find some other means of attack..but this thing smelled so bad she just wanted it to die in the most effective way possible at this point. So instead of finding a safer way she simply moved to the next building and charged up her reiatsu into her bow so that she could fire the quincy's beam type of arrow that was actually similiar in shape as a cero except it wasn't hollow energy it was quincy energy. next thing that happened? Oh well the building was hit by said beam of quincy energy and was mostly destroyed upon this happening. Anything that didn't get obliterated by the beam would have collapsed down ontop of the creature she was trying to kill.

"Whew.. is it dead now?" She said as she relaxed a little bit and looked over the debris without getting down from the rooftop she was on. Dead or not the thing probably still smelled like year old carcass and she was NOT about to get close enough to smell that crud again. "Lance is going to yell at me for overdoing it again.. but if he had smelled this thing maybe he wouldn't be so quick to get onto me.."

She pulled out her cell phone and called the Coalition's main line so that she could get a clean up crew here. She still didn't know if the thing was dead or not though so she told them to bring stun guns in case Alex would want the stupid little thing for experimentation. Who knows maybe she had just tried to kill a never before seen hybrid animal of some kind.. wouldn't that just make Alexander's day.. getting a new species to study.. even if it did smell like cow dung...

Though the crew wouldn't be here for a while..so it looks like she was stuck on the rooftop for now.

At first, Sloth heard very little noise, then it felt a surge of energy above it, and then a distant rumble. Sloth looked up at the ceiling as it started shaking, the Sloth feeling the woman's spiritual energy, she was still above the building but whatever she had done was causing the building to collapse. To Sloth's dissatisfaction, it had hoped that someone who spewed forth heroic lines wouldn't break civilian buildings, but with a lazy shrug Sloth lifted its shield as a large amount of energy came down like a beam the ceiling giving way as cement blocks, wood, and numerous office objects came crashing down. With little time to find cover, Sloth ran to the nearest corner of the building, as the attack came down creating a circular hole through the building all the way to the roof.

With its back against a counter, and its car shield put up, Sloth made its makeshift bunker as fast as it could, as it felt the vibrations of a falling building like a minor earthquake. The shaking, the bright light from the beam attack, Sloth was at a lost by taking the chance to hide in a building. Fragments large and small buried the sloth along with its makeshift bunker. Using its strength to keep itself from being squished, the sinner kept focusing its spiritual energy in the car door, hoping it would not give way, while the counter behind the animal started to crack from the sheer weight of the debris.

The energy crashing down, most of the attack missed Sloth, and being immune to temperature, the demon did not worry too much. However, the attack did not completely missed, as there was little time to escape both debris and energy at the same time. As part of Sloth's left arm had been hit, and the metal, glass, and cement had Sloth pinned down. But the sinner did not loose heart, its body starting to grow a sickly dark green color which glowed. Soon its other ability would come, and with it a deafening noise.

From beneath the rubble, Sloth could not see anything besides its own car door. Using its zanpaktou hard claws, and immense strength the animal dug and pushed the fragments away with its right arm, making itself a small hole. As it escaped out, its energy was lowered slightly, to not bring attention to itself, however it still glowed a sickly green color. Crawling out, Sloth licked its left arm out of instinct, the arm wounded but still usable.

Looking at the hole in the building Sloth could see just a part of its opponent, talking on what appeared to be a cell phone perhaps. With a fiery glint, Sloth left its shield in the rubble, but still had its javelins in its backpack, though it had lost two of the five. Taking two out, it threw the first one with great velocity, aimed right at the woman's left arm, knowing that she used a bow. And threw the second javelin at her right leg, with in two seconds of the first throw.

Jumping up wards, using an air walk technique, Sloth charged quickly, after throwing its javelins, and took its third one in its right paw, and focused its spiritual energy in it to strengthen it. The makeshift javelins being about two feet long and sharpened on one end, made of steel. Sloth was prepared to take the fight to close quarters, seeing that buildings would do little help against this enemy.

She heard a bit of noise from below her in the rubbled area but figured it was more shifting debris. She closed the cell phone and was about to put it up when a spearlike object came flying at her at a high speed. She moved to the side to avoid it but the other one caught her off guard and clipped her leg. This proved to be a huge problem because the smelly creature came rushing in soon after.

"Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Sacred Bite!" she said as she tossed up a couple of silver colored tubes into the air between her and the creature..each tube glowing bright before releasing a wave of destructive energy that attempted to slice into the monsters body and slow it down. Whether it blocked the waves somehow or dodged them..it would have had to stop coming forward which ment she would have succeeded in slowing it down.

So she used that time to hirenyaku on her good foot and get out of sight by dropping down on the other side of the building. She couldn't use her leg very much but she wasn't about to use one of her best techniques to stay in the fight just yet..she figured she could fight the thing off even with her movement impaired. However she got a sudden idea when she had finished dropping down.. and she had to act quickly if she was going to get it to work.

The only way to her at the moment was to drop down from the rooftop or come from the sides..which would mean it still had to come from a predictable direction. So she kept track of it's spiritual pressure the best she could, which wasn't easy since it was trying to supress it's power even though it was fighting her, and prepared her trap. The moment it came into view she would immediately use another technique called Gritz. But for now she was just going to have to wait and see what happened..she'd have a very small opening chance to trap this creature and she wasn't about to waste it.

"A silver rod strikes the five-fingered stone bed - Quintuple Restraining Frames!" She'd call out ONLY IF the creature came after her. This coupled with a silver tube she'd throw towards the thing would cause a man-sized pentacle symbol which envelops its target to form around the beast and trap it.

As Sloth came forward seeing that it had managed to harm its victim, the sinner still glowing a sickly green hue, then as it came closer to attack, the woman had thrown a couple of silver tubes at the Demon. With a thought, Sloth unleashed its ability, as an extremely loud sound emitted from the animal which could not be blocked by physical substances or spiritual energy. The sound able to temporarily deafen any who hear it besides Sloth. At the same instant as the sound was created, a ten foot sphere of energy came forth from Sloth, with the constant strength of a bala. The silver tubes which then exploded, the two explosions seeming to counter act each other, as Sloth was protected from the explosion from the woman's items.

Proceeding forward Sloth watched as its enemy disappeared, again. The animal stopping itself on the roof, as it no longer held in its spiritual energy, seeing that the element of surprise would no longer be needed.

Standing on the rooftop, Sloth looked around and then down, seeing the woman going down the side of the building. Taking the last javelin, Sloth chucked it with full force downward at the woman, and at the same time, Sloth stomped down hard on the side of the different building, causing rubble to come down the side. The animal planning to trap its opponent with its own wall of rubble. The animal tracking her spiritual energy, just in case.

She heard the loud bang as she jumped over the edge of the building but she couldn't cover her ears..so now they were ringing pretty badly and it seemed like it would take a little bit more time before she could hear anything besides that ringing. For now though she had to worry about those makeshift weapons the creature had been throwing at her. As it came to the top of the rooftop her gritz went off on it..but it didn't finish closing before it threw it's next spear at her clipping her in the right shoulder as she tried to move away. Luckily because it started from the bottom up the beasts attempt at knocking the side of the roof over ontop of her failed..as it hit the barrier style trap with it's foot instead.

"I've got you!" She said as she pulled back her bowstring on her wooden bow and fired another fat arrow that would have exploded into a 15 yard sphere of quincy energy upon reaching the gritz and the monster the explosion would have destroyed the grtiz and still reached the monster within a second. Leaving the smelly thing no real choice but to take the damage. From what she had seen though they were even spiritually if not then the creature had more spiritual power than she did. If that was the case she knew this wasn't over but she didn't exactly stick around to figure out if the thing was dead this time. She had already begun to use Hirenyaku with one foot to get away quickly, though it was definitely more slowly than at the beginning of the fight.

When she got infront of a house that was across the street from where she had been she stopped cold because of two things. One..the spiritual pressure of the creature wasn't gone..and two there were human spiritual presences in the house behind her. Destroying an empty building is one thing..but if she were to let innocent peopple get hurt.. Now she was cornered. She had to make a real stand instead of trying to completely avoid the creature and shoot from afar. The bad thing was with her shoulder injured she couldn't draw her bow as strongly or as fast as she usually could..she estimated her firing rate had been cut in half as well as her draw strength.

But she still had two ace's in the hole..though she really didn't want to use them..it seemed she had no choice at this point. But first she was going to wait and see if the beast was going to continue or if it was going to leave the city. If it left then she had no reason to chase it..but if it stay'd it was her duty to eradicate the creature. SO she readied her bow and pulled back keeping it aimed in the direction of the creature's spiritual pressure at all times. Slightly hoping it decided to leave.

With satisfaction Sloth smiled with its animal teeth, bared against its enemy, but to its equal displeasure when it went to stomp on the building, a barrier had appeared. The barrier entrapping the beast of sin in its tracks, as it looked around, it had been played for a fool, and had been trapped. As walls surrounded the Sloth on all sides, the animal sinner. Annoyed by the sudden trap, Sloth laid down on the surface, its instincts, and training with H, and Media, having payed off in situations such as this.

Not but a second or so later, an explosion happened, as the trap was destroyed and explosion ensued. The power hitting Sloth hard, nothing it could not handle, as it had great durability, but none the less, it rather not have been hit at all. Having secured itself while in the trap, Sloth had curled up jumped backwards once the main explosion had happened, as the barrier was broken as well. Sloth's body glowing a sickly green color again.

Moving across to the neighboring rooftop, Sloth traversed across the city, as it followed the woman's spiritual energy. Until it came within a score of yards or so of its enemy, who had started the fight.

Out of sight, Sloth stayed a few buildings back to where the woman was. The animal taking the sewage it had gathered while in the sewer earlier, it readied itself, as it yanked a door access to one of the roofs, the sinner cut it into five sheets of heavy medal squares. Gathering them in one pile, Sloth grasped them and charged forward towards the woman, as the closer it went, it could sense other spiritual energies, faintly, that of possible average humans.

Coming in sight of the enemy, Sloth jumped from the three story building across from the house, and flung one metal square at the woman at a fierce velocity with its right arm, then following the woman's spiritual energy, tossed a second at where she would be if she tried dodging. As the remaining three were thrown directly at the house behind her, the spiritual energies, though faint, could still be sensed. The three squares aimed at the house would penetrate at the weakest point, as taught by Media, and the three squares each about two feet or more away from each other distance wise.

Too bad. The creature had already started chasing after her signature. That ment it wasn't just going to leave the world of the living quietly. So much for that idea.but then it had the audacity to aim projectiles at her and the building behind her. Did it really thing it was wise to just up and attack what she was obviously trying to keep out of harms way? Try to get the person to be backed into a corner to either let their morals fail them or take the hits like a noble and died needlessly? Thankfully Mia didn't think like that or she might have actually done something to that effect.

"Ransotengai!" She said as her body stiffed for a moment as invisible strands of reiatsu covered her body. These strands allowed her to move her own body like a puppeteer moves a puppet's strings..and she was able to do this with nothing but her brain. She wasn't as strong as Uryu..one of the last quincies who openly used this technique..but she could hold this for at least a little while. Immediately after calling out the ability she fired arrows at each of the projectiles the creature had thrown with full speed and strength. Knocking it aside harmlessly into the ground between her and the monster she had been trying to eradicate. Except this time she did something a bit different than normal.

She dropped her wooden bow and formed her quincy bow.

She then began to fire arrows at a much faster pace than before. Where as she was firing them nearly one at a time before now she was firing 20 of them in rapid succession with each string pull. All aimed for the vital parts of the creatures body..which she had to guess on assuming it even had a normal anatomy. "DIE!" She said as she continued this barrage upon the creature who was still in the air at this point. Her brain was already ticking down her time limit on the ransotengai and she could feel it. She could probably only hold this for another minute or so ( one more post ) before being forced to either withdraw and call for backup..or use her final form..the latter of which she really did not wish to do because if they creature survived that then she would lose for certain.

She didn't have a choice..This was her job as both a quincy and a member of the coalition. The danger of dying was also part of the job..so whether she fell this day or not depended on both luck and determination. Wonder which of the two has more..

As Sloth ran across the air, with it the projectiles coming in close to Sloth who managed to dodge a few of them, before it dropped to a light post, as it swung dodging another, then slamming into the street. With its fierce claws, as strong as zanaktou metal, naturally formed, it lashed out at an incoming arrow breaking it, with its good arm. Then Sloth darted behind a small moped, lifting the thing up, Sloth hurled the small vehicle at its foe, who had at that time just dropped her bow, for whatever reason. As Sloth came forward, thinking there was an opening, it saw a blue new bow be created by the enemy as she started firing rapidly, knocking down the five metal squares to the Earth.

Sloth could not dodge so many arrows at once, as it tried its best, not being a master at speed, it took several hits around its body mostly grazes, as it proceeded forward despite the pain. As two shots grazed its left shoulder, one hiting its right toe, the claw still intact but the muscle hurt. Along with minor scratches across its body. At the time of the surge of projectiles came, Sloth clawed at the ones aimed at fatal areas, and important spots, such as the face and torso region. The Sloth gaining ground as it continued forward, running across the street. All the while its odor came closer and closer. Its horrid smell plus that of sewage would be almost unbearable.

Speaking with a slow manner, the animal half yawned its words, "Why... must, you... attack, me... it's so... bothersome..."

As Sloth came within a few feet of the woman it would lounge forward and make a volley of punches and kicks aimed at her legs. If she were to dodge the volley, Sloth would follow her with a sprint of speed and try swiping at her right wrist, at the same time send a kick to her stomach with its sharpened claws. At the moment were Sloth was within ten feet or less of the woman, it would unleash its pent up energy in a ten foot sphere of energy with the force of a bala all around, along with the same deafening screech. If the woman decided to flee continually from Sloth, Sloth would run inside the house and unleash its energy there.

"No you don't!" She had been using Hirenyaku while under the remaining influences of Ransotengai in order to continually appear and disappear around the creature while firing barrage after barrage of arrows from her true quincy bow..she was vomiting but was not lurching around to do so..due to the effects of Ransotengai..her mental thinking fully controlled all of her body. Allowing for such a thing to occur.

The thing kept trying to keep up with her speed and attack at points that were her weakest..such as her wrist that held her bow and her stomach, but she wasn't about to let such a thing happen as long as long as Ransotengai was in effect..using Hirenyaku even more than before she moved out of the way of each of the swipes aimed at her and shot off an exploding arrow each time she dodged.

However.. during all of this she turned on the mp3 player she always had to max volume..nearly deafening her with it's constant music. She recognized the build of up spiritual energy from the last time it occured and knew what was about to happen to her again and it hit her right before Ransotengai wore off. Allowing her to take the hit and at the very least be standing upright after it..though she was still hurt by the attack's force..due to the music player the defeaning bang didn't hurt as bad as it did last time..though she could no longer hear her music and didn't hear any ringing either..she was pretty sure she was now temporarily deaf.

Now though she had no other choice but to rely on her final form. wasn't going toThe creature wasn't dead and back up wouldn't be here for a while..and she couldn't use Ransotengai for a while either..as that put a nice big mental strain on her. So be it.. She pulled at her Sanrei Glove and with a huge explosion of released energy..stood before the creature with new cloths befitting a quincy. All white..naturally. With a large wing of reishi attached to her back.

"You are a monster that does not belong here. On my pride as a quincy you will perish!" She said as she formed a single arrow in her free hand from the wing of reishi itself and fired it at Sloth so quickly and with so much power that if he got hit it would threaten to pierce his body with ease..though if it missed she'd most likely obliterate any building that is behind him. She jumped up quickly right after firing that arrow and repeated it at a downward angle right ontop of the beast this time..same strength and speed..

But as she came down she lost her footing because of her injuries and instinctively drew out a scheele schnieder to act as her defense in case the monster wasn't dead. However for the moment she couldn't get up..and her two arrows had caused a bunch of smoke to be in the area..so she just kept her sensing ability on guard and kept her scheele Schnieder close to protect herself.

Swarming around like flies, arrows rained down upon the sloth as it maneuvered continually to take minimal damage from its vile enemy. Sloth noting the fact that the woman was still vomiting but not being physically effected by it as before, though as a sinner Sloth passed it off as some kind of mental ability of some sort to ignore pain perhaps, but as the animal discarded its opinions it kept moving around the street. Using Ranzig, Sloth mused quietly as its main attacks missed, having to use its skill of Ranzig to escape the exploding arrows which exploded on the pavement and nearby objects.

However as Sloth progress it took one arrow to its back as it was flung against a wall from the explosion, its body in pain, but not before it was able to detonate its deafening explosion which it saw hit the archer woman. While the pain it felt was nothing completely unbearable. Quickly standing back up, sloth took of in a hurry as it took of in a hurry, only to stop on the street as it saw with curiosity the woman's clothes change into a white uniform and a wing of spiritual energy sprout from her back.

"Quincy... you... say? How... interesting... I have not... heard of this... from my... former master... but... please, be at least... slightly more kind..." Sloth spoke dully, as it watched the single arrow form on the quincy's bow. Knowing she had just grown more powerful, Sloth was not about to test out how strong this new arrow was. As Sloth used ranzig to dodge the first arrow fired, the animal watched as it streaked across the ground demolishing the building and car behind it. To say the least the sinner was glad it had decided to play it safe, but before it could retaliate, the woman jumped into the air further firing a second arrow, which hit the ground in a furry of an explosion which caught sloth.

Moving forward in a rush the explosion blasted sloth even faster forward as its back side was singed and wounded. But as the debris lifted up from the ground, and the crumbling building from the first arrow the place was filled with dust and smoke.

Sloth utilized the smoke to its advantage as it grabbed a chunk of street rubble which had flown off from the street. Throwing the chunk of rubble with great strength, Sloth ran under the sloth, as it prepared to attack the woman directly on the ground.

With its claws out, Sloth ran quickly and used ranzig to appear before the woman, as it kicked down hard on the ground beneath her to kick up a loosened slab of tar and concrete road, using it as a catapult-like object. Hopefully enough to fling the quincy forward towards sloth and not into the sky. If it worked sloth would lounge forward with both of its claws, as strong as zanpaktou metal, and attempt to deflect the quincy's scheele Schnieder if she attempted a swing with it, while aiming a strike at her torso region with its other set of claws.

Just as the creature lunged, a gunshot rang out as a beam of power with high penetration value and moving the speed and power of a cero was launched. But the range of it was far too far. Green gas did float in though, and the claws were blocked by a blade. The girl and whatever blocked the claws left as the beam struck into the cloud of poison gas. The beam would not explode. Fifty yards away, was a six foot man with the woman, and a metallic, robotic snake like thing with black ribbons connecting the head and bladed tail. The man injected the antedote to the gas he just used. On his tie, was a small little device that soon projected a hologram of letters to her. The thing's noise had deafened him, and most likely her. The message said: "Stay at a distance. I'll handle it up close. And don't worry, I am a doctor, I've seen and smelled a great many things." WWI especially effected him, but being a doctor didn't help either. That kind of mess did not just leave one's memory. The horrendous smell just put bile in his mouth, but nothing else.

Meanwhile, as the thing either got out of the poison gas or the gas disappeared, two more shots rang out and the same would happen, though they were much closer. But that was it. The three snipers left the area immediately.

Alexander Kerensky came prepared. He did have a pistol at his hip, a shotgun and bazooka in a container device just behind the pistol. Also in it was three reiatsu grenades, three fire elemental shuriken, and two vibro knives. His belt was the ammo containor for his guns. However, he did have a vibrosword tucked away on the belt on the opposite side as the pistol and Containor.

The green haired bounto stepped towards the creature, drawing the gun and sword. His doll was loosely coiled around him. Alex then fired three shots at it as his doll fired ten energy beams at it that acted like a Byakurai. The bullets were extremely mildly explosive (only a six inch area of effect). The pistol was aimed at the leg, chest, and neck, while the beams were aimed everywhere at the thing.
