Stitching those Holes [P | Puck]

Aien's piercing red eyes were watching what was happening before his own eyes as he ran down the dark alley. The young teen didn't need to look over his shoulder to see if whatever that creature is was still following for he can hear it loud and clear charging after him. They're moving roughly at the same pace, but this horrifying creature is just slightly faster than Aien as it slowly gains distance towards the teen. Unfortunately Aien is aware of how much longer he can maintain this rate of speed with the power he possess being released. As it wasn't much longer before he would be reverted to his normal form.

Then what appears to be a man a bit older than Aien steps into his point of view and it seemed to have broke this icy cold, menacing demeanor his aura gives off. "Hey kid! Over here!" The man shouted before he seems to be taken aback of what was following Aien. Perhaps Aien isn't crazy of being chased around the city by a predator after all, but he didn't have time for thoughts as he could feel the warm breath coming off from this raptor appearance creature. Meaning that it was dangerously close to Aien from what he can guess, and it also meant that Aien would have to do something to stop it from advancing any further. "Turn the lights off kid, you're like a Macy's day balloon and we need to make like mice!" This stranger followed up with his voice as Aien didn't notice anything between the gap since Aien was focused on trying to outrun this creature. Then Aien's crimson orbs settled on a dumpster on the side that's maybe fifteen feet away from Gabriel, and that was what he settled on being his solution to escape.

"You better start running then." Aien commented before he leapt high up in the air as the creature tried to follow him by attempting a jump to bite at the air as it was simply too low with the velocity and the momentum it was carrying. Aien should've followed that exact same law of physics, but he altered his position by performing a backflip while in the air to slow his speed before dropping heavily performing both Kazagruma and the Deonjigi techniques. First he had initiated the same technique he used to knock the creature back before by using x3 of his speed to ascend high up before performing a backflip to reduce his speed back down to how it originally was before dropping down with the same x3 of his natural speed. Doing a little bit of math with the angles and the rate of speed in Aien's head. He recalculated his descent to where Aien was aiming for the blurry creature. However the creature seemed to have learnt its lesson from last time as it hopped up on top of the wall before leaping straight for Aien with its jaw wide open to threaten swallowing Aien whole.

Favorably, with Aien's velocity and how his power was still active. Our young teen relied on his instinct after seeing how his opponent reacted by performing and front flip in the air. Almost like Aien timed it perfectly, he drops his powerful heel right on the terrifying Hollow's snout and forced the mouth shut before the mask cracked under the force. Additionally, the creature was hurled spiraling to the ground as part of the knockback effect with the Kazagruma technique. Still Aien wasn't done as he followed up by reaching out to grab this blurry creature by the tail with his right hand while performing a second front flip. With the Hollow's spiraling motion aiding Aien and both of them being flightless Aien would have no trouble pulling the creature to spin with the teen's flip. Supporting his grip by using his left hand just under the right, Aien utilizes the Deonjigi technique as powerful as he can by hurling with all of his might and with all of the other inertia effects taking ahold of the situation. Aien powerfully throws the poor Hollow straight for that dumpster as it crashed straight through the lid with a heavy loud clang.

Aien would finally touch the ground as he took precaution to slow his descent enough to where it was safe to tumble forward upon his landing in order to keep up the motion of moving forward. Assuming that Gabriel had started running, Aien would be running alongside him before Aien's power is visibly dismissed. The main factor is that dark red aura of Reiatsu of Aien's is gone now, but in the end he is back to his normal self. With his stark white hair fading away into the warm black color that is a bit damp from sweating and his once piercing glowing red eyes crawl its way into his pupil to reveal the amber eyes. It was only then when Aien noticed how much his lungs were burning from running so much before noticing how much his muscles hate Aien right now. Mustering up the strength to move past the pain, Aien kept running beside Gabriel as best as he could at the natural human speed now.

If Gabriel decided to stand still however, Aien would attempt to only briefly grab Gabriel's arm to urge the man to run. "Come on. A little further and we can hide from this thing." Aien stated just before his power waned to his normal self and the same after effects take place. What Aien isn't aware of is that Hollow actually phases into Hueco Mondo due to its mask being cracked and needs time for its mask to heal. Gabriel would be only one out of them two that has the potential of noticing this as Aien is just focused on what is in front of him. Aien has it estimated that it should take them about two more minutes at this pace to reach the other main street of Karakura, but its only going to be a matter of time before that particular Hollow comes back for revenge on Aien in particular. Although, Aien doesn't know that, but he's confident and hoping they can hide from it now that Aien isn't using his power anymore.
