A slow, ominous clicking resounded for those unlucky enough to be near, the rushing of sand as a black creature rose from beneath the white sands. A slow hiss resounded as the lucent eyes of the creature explored it's surroundings, the empty and nocturnal wasteland of Hueco Mundo. All what it saw, all what it felt, was in close connection to the rest of it's kind. As they were connected on a mental level. Constantly feeding eachother new information. To access numbrous abilities. A katana was held in it's left hand. Boney and clawed. The creature stepped forward. He hissed slowly once more, followed by the ominous and alien clicking it produced. Heald slowly tilting and turning. Constantly watching and constantly learning. It looked down at it's feet, a small, bug like hollow apparent. With a sick crunch, the small life form was easily obliterated by the creature's foot.
And so, it went on. An unstable mass of mystery that it was, growling lowly, hissing and producing the alien clicking. A hollow blocked the things path, yet, the creature did not even flinch or hesitate, within a mere instant, the hollow was ripped in pieces, the sharp claws shredding the skin and ripping apart the hollow in the progress. A fascinated hiss resounded, once again followed by the alien clicking. Standing tall with bloody talons, a piece of gore slipping down from the claws.
Description: The Dangai Spirits are connected together by a hivemind. The information they receive can be passed down to other spirits, however, it becomes useless to the sender. Information received FROM other spirits can be used to help in combat against their own opponent.
Noboru walked the white deserts of Hueco Mundo as he often times had before, nothing seemed different, and things seemed calm. It was an odd yet constant feeling that surrounded the place; it made things a bit awkward. Everything was as it should be, that was of course until a scream came from over a nearby ridge. Despite how much he wanted to just ignore it, Noboru knew he could not, he felt compelled for whatever reason to find the source of the screams.
As he came over the ridge, below he could see some kind of beast, however it did not appear to be of hollow nature, nor did the energy it give off feel like it. The remains of a slain hollow lay behind this gruesome creature. It was confusing, something different, new something he had never seen before, and by the looks of it something that wasn’t too friendly, but then again here in Hueco Mundo not too many could be classified as nice.
Noboru sighed, doubting what he was about to do next, but it seemed if anything this would certainly be a good way to train himself to get stronger, not to mention this creature was seemingly killing not to feast on the souls, killing and letting them die. Why would it do that?
With a massive breath taken in Noboru exhaled in a large howl from above, turning his head up towards the sky, only looking down at the spirit as he finished, preparing himself for what might come next.
With an ominous hiss the creature turned to the wolf, the howl had made Noboru's presence clear. And the spirit was out for nothing but ice cold murder. Only a primal instinct of bloodthirst. Murder everything that drew a breath. The sound of flesh ripping resounded through the white desert again, followed by a disgusting and alien cracking. The creature's head was ripped in two, revealing an enourmous mouth. A disgusting circular, tendril like tongue, some form of drool or goo dripping from the mouth that looked as if it was the first time ever opened. The heavy, laboured and frantic breathing of the predatorial spirit was audible enough for Noboru to hear.
The creature hissed bitterly, approaching the wolf with careful treads, the katana being pulled from its sheat slowly. One might judge that this alien being even took delight in hearing the sound of the blade being pulled out. The creature disappeared from sight. A stepping technique, resembling Shunpo closer then Sonido. The creature touched down behind the wolf, it's reiatsu flaring. The katana was replaced by a greatsword, that the creature held in right hand and against the floor. In his other claw was a small dagger, chained to the greatsword.
The creature lifted the greatsword, everything went silent, only the sound of a breath being drawn. A spark at the tip, then a bolt of lightning shot from the blade towards the hollow, sparking loudly.
Name: Emulated Strength Class: unknown Type: passive Tier: ?? range: ?? Description: Using information gathering from another spirit at this location[yume], the spirit is able to emulate the powers that they have seen, being able to make copies of those techniques. Due to their shared collective consciousness, they can only choose to focus on one other spirit and cannot access another spirit’s information.
Name: Kougeki, Hibiki! Class: Offensive Tier: III Type: Shikai Technique Range: Short to Long Description: Air is first sucked into the blade through the bell on the end of the zanpakuto, and then, while it is in the chamber, spiritual energy is added to excite the atoms and molecules to boost them to the plasma state of air, lightning. The time it takes to suck in the air and convert it is about the same amount of time as a single breath. Kuroda can continue move while the sword is "Inhaling." Once the conversion is complete the energy is then sent out the tip of the the zanpakuto as a jagged bolt of lightning which moves at about the same speed as a standard Cero.
Name: Fading Strike (Atemi no Taishoku あてみ の たいしょく ) Class: Stepping Tier: I Type: Stepping, Passive Range: Close Description: A strike in the shadow, an image that doesn't exist. Applying his mastery of the sword with his unparalleled speed, Kuroda augments his strikes, be it from blade or hand, creating a discontinuity between the image one sees and the actual strike. The sheer speed of his attack makes it appear slower than it actually is, and the actual attack hits about half a second before the image of the attack looks like it will hit. This plays an opponent against their instincts, as they need to respond to an attack before their vision tells them to. This ability applies during the first attack made in the same post as a use of Kuroda's Shunpo.
Noboru watched carefully as the unknown spirit’s head seemingly split into two a long tendril-like tongue slithering out of it. It was certainly a shock as it was something Noboru himself had ever witnessed, let alone was it something he was sure anyone had. A loud savage breathing coming from the newly formed “mouth” it was even more so inhuman than most hollows he had encountered. Whatever this thing was it certainly was nothing anyone had seen before.
Then almost in an instant the spirit had disappeared, having pulled the katana like sword from his side. Noboru immediately went on guard the most logical positon for the creature to end up would be in a blind spot to him, his back being the most primed.
Noboru quickly spun around as the creature reappeared and only moments before a loud spark of electricity, lightning even shot from the spirits sword towards Noboru. He had little time to react and quickly brought across his reiryoku to cover himself in a shadow like surrounding just as the impact of the lightning on him occurred. It was frighteningly close and Noboru after the blast quickly jumped back launching roughly five bala at the spirit in an attempt to distract him for a moment so that Noboru could collect himself, finishing as he landed back on the ground roughly five meters away.
He’s quick…. And what is with that sword? It’s not normal…then again nothing about this seemed normal from the beginning.
Noboru quickly lunged forward toward the beast zig-zagging towards him as he ended with Noboru stopping a few meters away to the spirits left with a large breath exhaling bright red and orange flames out towards him in an attempt to coat him in the flames, burning him severely.
Noboru was unsure of what to expect so regardless of what occurred he knew for now although he just attacked he would need to remain on the defensive, after all who knew what kind of powers this creature might have.
{Techs Used} Name: Ensombreza Cobija (Shadow Blanket) Class: Hollow Technique Type: Defensive/Binding Range: 25 meters/Self Tier: III Description: The user shoots reiryoku into their own shadow, pulling it up around them like a thick, dark, slightly transparent blanket, hence the name. This is among the absolute fastest of all Hollow techniques in execution speed, being used for a last minute defense against fast attacks, such as Bala. One of the only weaknesses of this technique is that while the user is shielded with their own shadow, so too are they incapable of moving, until the shield is broken or dissipated by the user. The user is also capable of using this shadowy cover to trap an opponent at half bala speeds, using the target's shadow. The shadow can only rise up 7 feet from the ground to engulf either the user or the target, however once it comes in contact with what it is meant to cover, it can stretch over even the largest Gillian.
Name: Bala (Hollow Bullet) Class: Cero/Bala Type: Offensive Range: 100 Meters Tier: I Description: A weaker but quicker alternative to regular Cero blasts. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it at around twenty times the speed of a Cero. Default ability for Arrancar and Adjuchas Hollow
Name: Ahueque llamas (Hollow Flames) Class: Hollow Technique Type: Offensive Range: 50 Meters Tier: III Description: Gathering reiatsu to either their mouths or palms, the user is able to set out reiatsu flames, in a way equally to a flame thrower that are able to cause burns on the target and travels at half bala speeds.
The instant Noburu lunged forward, the creature dissappeared from sight with a loud and feral groan. The creature appeared behind Noburu. Charging forward with both the blade and the knife brandished. Imitating the hollow's zig zagging pattern and in the end, dissappearing from sight. To assualt the canine from above, the blade and knife both pointed towards the floor, aiming to impale it's targets back. Letting out another groan, one of anticipation. Whatever this creature was, it seemed to enjoy the battle. The creature landed on the floor, ten paces away from Noburu, hissing slowly, raising the blade. The tip of the blade sparked again, another one of those lightning attacks discharged, yet, this one was not as strong. Yet it was much stronger.
The instant the attack had discharged, the spirit had used it's stepping to trail behind Noburu, another surge of electricity shot forward at the hollow in a pincer attack. Yet this one was the stronger and slower one. The creature hissed slowly then groaned loudly. In these feral noises, these feral gestures. The feeling of joy was recognised. Joy and excitement. Anticipation. The disgusting tongue licked it's lips, the radiant eyes slowly narrowing. Waiting. Taking a pause to watch this hollow.
Name: Emulated Strength Class: unknown Type: passive Tier: ?? range: ?? Description: Using information gathering from another spirit at this location[yume], the spirit is able to emulate the powers that they have seen, being able to make copies of those techniques. Due to their shared collective consciousness, they can only choose to focus on one other spirit and cannot access another spirit’s information.

The time it takes to suck in the air and convert it is about the same amount of time as a single breath. Kuroda can continue move while the sword is "Inhaling." Once the conversion is complete the energy is then sent out the tip of the the zanpakuto as a jagged bolt of lightning which moves at about the same speed as a standard Cero.
Name: Jinsoku Kougeki, Hibiki! Class: Offensive Tier: II Type: Shikai Technique Range: Short to Long Description: This attack is essentially a modified version of Kougeki, however Kuroda alters the structure of the lightning created to trade off power for speed. This version of the attack is 10 times as fast as the original, but inflicts half the damage. The time it takes to suck in the air and convert it is about the same amount of time as a single breath. Kuroda can continue move while the sword is "Inhaling." Once the conversion is complete the energy is then sent out the tip of the the zanpakuto as a thin bolt of lightning, which is much more streamlined than the original, which is attributed to its speed, but because of how thin it is, the power behind it is much less than the original. Kuroda can hold up to three charges of this attack in his zanpakuto at a time, and can fire them in rapid succession. This lightning tech moves at half the speed of a standard Bala. The maximum range for this ability is 200 feet.
Chandre had heard that there was some sort of shenanigans going on in the worlds at large. Strange creatures had begun to pop up and assault the locals, which Chandre wasn’t too keen on personally. She really didn’t like violence of any nature if she could avoid it, but she just couldn’t say no to meeting anything labeled a ‘strange creature.’ She really had to do something about her curiosity.
She rushed as quickly as she could to her home dimension of Heuco Mundo. While she didn’t spend a whole lot of time there under normal circumstances, she found it could be a little friendlier than the human realm when walking about. Earth had far too many factions that wanted her head on a stick just for the simple reason of having a hole in her chest. She didn’t want to have to deal with some rag-tag cluster of Shinigami, full bringiners, bounts and whatever else if finding one of these creatures turned out to be an attention drawing affair. Heuco Mundo, by comparison, was by far sparser and any hollow that was likely to give her a hard time in combat would likely also be intelligent enough to be talked to or reasoned with.
The only real issue that she had to deal with in the coming search for one of these creatures was, well, the search. Heuco Mundo was a massive (potentially limitless) expanse of nearly identical sand and tree tips in every direction. Finding one of these odd attackers may prove difficult. She steeled herself to the challenge however, knowing that if she managed to find one, dissecting it could possibly be the most interesting thing she’d do for the next hundred years! She stepped from the Garganta, eyes forward in hopes that she could sense something nearby; that by chance she was within perceptual reach of one of these beasts. Then she felt something pass by her backside at intense speeds.
”Oh Mon Dieu!” She said as she turned on her heel to see a lupine hollow doing battle with what could very easily be described as a ‘strange creature’ that seemed to delight in shooting lightning. Chandre fired a series of bala, aiming to strike the thing in the side and throw it off-course. She didn’t know for certain if this wolf would be open to a brief team-up, but hoped that a mutual enemy would at least bare a temporary friend. Bonsoir mes amis, ça te dérangerait si je me joins à vous? She asked, hoping that the wolf would be open to a little aid.

Not getting away this time, you wretched creature... Eleanor thought to herself with a massive exhalation. To some, it might be a needlessly dramatic sigh, but with the air came a burst of Frigid Mist. Heuco Mundo was already a less-than-warm locale, but the ice field she now conjured made it look like an oversized tropical beach by comparison. Lashing out at cero-velocity, the cold made its way toward the beat the alchemist had been tracking for some time now. Oh, not this specific one, of course, but she'd encountered the anomalies twice now and it had been a hectic and not altogether pleasant experience. The first time, they'd ruined an experiment she'd put hours of work into while in the human world. The second, merely an attack upon her person, which she'd fled from. She wasn't certain of the beast's full combat capacity and it was stupid to engage needlessly without more data. Here though, this was a chance for revenge and study at once. Two others were already fighting the horror, so that gave her some room to maneuver. A wolf and...was that a vasto lorde? The energy felt a little different, but the humanoid shape...Maybe. Best to stay on the better side of that one, just in case. Not that she'd go antagonizing wolves without cause either. Rude and stupid.
The mist made its way toward the alien creature and its surroundings, aiming to slow and damage the brute before it could cause any more mischief. With that, she'd at least be able to get a better hit at the thing, maybe some idea of its capacities. Previous encounters had been inconclusive.
{Spoiler} Name: Frigid Mist Type: Offensive Class: Hollow Technique Tier: V Range: Medium Description: The hollow with this technique can conjure a bank of freezing fog, coating the ground nearby, damaging those who aren't the user and slowly encasing them in mystic ice.
Damage Table: -2 Advantage: Being in the field is a great way to get killed, causing rapid damage and extreme mobility reduction as their body becomes frozen in a layer of solid ice.
-1 Advantage: Damage inflicted at this level can be quite debilitating, while slowing the victim by more than half for 2 post cycles.
Equal Advantage: Damage is very noticable, but not critical in and of itself. Victim is slowed by 1/2 for two post cycles.
+1 Advantage: The damage from this ability is quite minimal, but adds up if sustained. Victim is slowed to a noticeable degree.
+2 Advantage: Those this much stronger are only moderately inconvenienced by this ability. It's not terribly comfortable, but no more damaging than a normal human in a bitter snowstorm for a few seconds. Victim is slowed somewhat for a single post cycle.
The hollow can guide the mist at the speed of a cero wherever they like, but by default it floats about a foot above the ground. The hollow is immune to their own use of this ability, but not another hollow's use of the same. The mist can spread out to about 40 meters from the user before dissipating into cool but harmless air.
That was all Noboru was able to think as the creature disappeared from sight in front of him causing Noboru to rethink his entire strategy. He had just enough time to stop before expelling the crimson and orange flames from his mouth, a wasted attack that would be now.
It was bad the creature reappeared behind Noboru running towards him at breakneck speeds. Noboru had enough time to turn around and that was about all and yet again he disappeared. His speeds were astounding so much so that it was almost unbelievable at how he reacted to everything and how slow it made the wolf feel. From above the rain of a swords came down with the spirit toward Noboru if it wasn’t for his split second reaction of throwing up his reiatsu coverage he surely would have been defeated. The blades hit off of the blanket, allowing Noboru to throw it off, though his excitement wasn’t over as the spirit quickly unleashed a blast of electricity again. Once again ripping the condensed reiatsu over him, this time though he was barely quick enough and the impact threw him backwards skidding across the sand some few meters, right into the second attack that hit him dead on.
The blow was devastating, it had been so little into the attack that Noboru was already feeling how weak he was comparatively. He stood back on his feet however, a heavy breath as he recuperated for a moment, the disgusting sounds of the creature in the background, and that’s when the fog made its way in starting to come near the creature. Noboru looked around finally now only noticing the broken hollow and fellow full hollow next to him.
He listened, though the actual words escaped him, he could only assume the one was asking of his situation, else wise she would have simply ended him herself right then and there. He nodded to her, hoping that would get the point across and with that, his fur took on a completely black appearance, all of the white disappearing and his power surging. It seemed as though this would not be a simple fight anymore, no instead it would take all he had got. He could only hope this two hollow were going to assist him and even then would it be enough? Noboru had never even seen a creature like this before.
A loud roar resounded from the beast, a surge of power seeming to come from thin air. With a statisfied grunt, the creature's head snapped towards the most powerful character present, ice creeping up around his feet. It snarled slowly as it felt its movements jolting, slowing. Ice biting down at his legs. The creature snarled slowly again. Watching it's new prey. Those others were bottomfeeders, no fun at all, it'd kill them slowly. But later. Right now, a content grunt resounded as it slowly approached the arrancar.
An orb formed around said arrancar, solidifying around her and locking Eleanor in the orb. Lightning discharged inside the orb, frying whatever was inside. The barrier dissappeared again as the creature charged forward, greatsword and knife brandished. It dissappeared from sight, reappearing behind the arrancar, the vile mouth opening and biting down on her shoulder, teeth sinking in and locking her in place. The knife flicked in the creature's hand and was aimed for Eleanor's spine, a possibility of damaging the skeletal structure and making her completely limp. The creature proceeded to rip the flesh from the arrancar's shoulder as it dissappeared again with the odd shunpo. The creature reappeared infront of Eleanor charging forward with a backwards horizontal slice aimed for her throat. A slice that would take her head clean off.

Name: Denki Dama Class: Offensive, Defensive Tier: IV Type: Range: AoE Description: The most powerful of Kuroda's shikai abilities, Denki Dama is a combination of both the offensive and defensive capabilities of Arashi Souzousha. After charging, Kuroda disperses his spiritual energy around the target rapidly to envelop them without them noticing. Once that is done the outer edge of the energy solidifies into an orb that is similar to Hihei, Arashi Souzousha, but instead of protecting on the outward curve, it contains the target by having the internal curve as the shield. Finally, the remaining energy within the orb converts into lightning similar to Kougeki, and discharges into anything within the orb.

Chandre watched as the wolf made its narrow escape, though her words seemed to elude him. She had been alive for over 200 hundred years and managed to learn a dozen languages, why were other hollows seemingly so lazy about the subject? Get some culture dammit!
Regardless, she began to actually take note of the creature she had heard so much of, and yet knew so little about. It was certainly grotesque from a standard observer’s definition of beauty, though the wax work hollow could definitely see the appeal of the beast from an aesthetic point of view. Its weapon was odd though, something so angular and keen of edge didn’t seem to fit the style. Perhaps the weapon is stolen? She wondered as the ice krept along the sand in a frozen haze. Her attention was then drawn to the arrancar present! She did so love arrancar, they were truly fascinating creatures, and this one definitely seemed to be working to immobilize the strange being. Perhaps she could talk the new arrival into allowing her some time to dissect the thing? Such ideals should be left for later times though as the creature turned its full attention towards the lady arrancar. It made a certain amount of sense of course, deal with the greatest threat fist, but even so it was hardly polite!
How rude! Firstly in attacking a lady, and secondly ignoring your other guests! She said loudly, motioning to the now black furred hollow beside her. Her head cocked backwards at an odd angle, though it made sense when her jawline seemed to lower to reveal a jaggedly toothed maw, dripping viscous wax like drool. A red dot formed there, growing in size and power before Chandre vanished to reappear beside the deranged creature, letting loose the cero she held. Her intent was to blast the monster away while leaving the arrancar untouched, hoping the lovely woman would be able to retake some distance.

OOC: Sorry for the delay, for some reason I thought it was somebody else's turn.
Not at all welcoming the idea of being confined to whatever the monster was attempting to do to her, Eleanor's body dissolved into a burst of sand that hurtled out of the rapidly forming sphere around her. As her body reformed some moderate distance away (she considered herself better suited for long range combat anyway), her spiritual senses picked up the discharge of power within the containment. The beast rushed forward as it broke apart, apparently wanting to best take advantage of her would-be weakened position, but it's attacks would hit nothing but empty air. There would be a gap as it reoriented itself, which one of the other hollows present was using to build up and fire a cero. Not wanting to waste an attempt at a teamwork, Eleanor activated her Citrinitas ability. Sealed as it was, she couldn't manage it's higher reaches right now, but that was all well and good. Speed was more the element at the moment. Selecting steel as her element, she fashioned heavy bars at irregular angles, intent on forming a crude dome around the monster to hold its position momentarily. The metal constructed itself with extreme speed, but little durability. That was fine. While the monster would cut through it like tissue paper in all likelihood, it would have to at least take some action to break through. Hopefully the cero would land at that time (and, given the fragility of the bars, wouldn't slow it down in the least).
I don't know who you are, but I appreciate the assistance. It was aimed primarily at the hollow currently on the offensive. Apparently intelligent enough to speak and have civil opinions, Eleanor saw no reason not to try and foster that sense of cooperation in this particular circumstance. The monster had spiked in strength moments ago and while she couldn't speak for the wolf-hollow's attitudes, anyone willing to talk like the wax-being would hopefully see the advantage of at least mutual partnership. It might spike again, after all. Not willing to speak any further strategy, she reached out with her mind to both Chandre and Noboru with Hivemind Pack Formation, sending a gentle invitation to their thoughts. It would be easy to dismiss, but if they accepted, they could commune in silence against this horror.
(OOC Note: Citrinitas bars are bala-speed forming, not directly attacking the beast, and tier II in strength).
Noboru could sense it the sudden change in energy level of the creature as his new companions, or at least what they were for the time being, entered the arena as it were. It seemed this monster, this spirit, whatever it might be was able to adapt and rather quickly judging from the rapid movements and actions it performed in mere split moments upon their entering.
It seemed though that ontop of that the arrancar, the potentially strongest of them all, was now the new target of the spirit, almost encasing her completely in some kind of sphere, which only moments after its closing erupted in a stream of lightning like discharge as the arrancar finished reforming outside of the dome. It was outstanding how quickly it seemed the two new companions to Noboru seemed to work, so efficient and despite them being creatures of death and killing it seemed that they had teamed up in a enemy of your enemy is your friend kind of situation.
Noboru looked up as the hollow that stood next to him looked down at him before disappearing, not even saying a word as the slight glimmer of energy around her mouth began to form. Noboru’s fur turned a jet black all around him, all of the white fur disappearing now. He watched as the metal cage formed around the creature, presumably from the arrancar in the distance and then came the tinge; the feeling at the back of your mind like something was pressing to let itself in a thought or idea you couldn’t quite remember. He wasn’t sure what all of it meant, but as it was occur Noboru allowed it to remain and did not resist against it.
He quickly took a deep breath, thinking the entire time of the deafening howl he was about to unleash, thinking if the two other hollow would be able to resist the sound or even be able to prevent against its normal deafening ability. He needed to join the fight though and he needed to do something to assist them, to the best of his abilities, whatever he could, he would not just lay down and die.
Noboru is now in his release state and has accepted the hivemind invite, though he doesn't understand at this point what it does, just hasn't pushed away the "feeling" he is getting from it.
name: Black Lightning type: Passive class: Hollow Powers range: Self tier: II description: Use to the shadows and quiet when his hollow powers are activated he is given a x2 speed boost that he often finds useful when he wants to get away from a current situation, though becomes useful in battle situations if needed.
name: Deafening Howl type: Supplementary class: Hollow Powers range: 50 meters tier: III description: This ability allows Naboru to howl at such a frequency that all, except for Naboru, whose ears are not protected from the frequency will be unable to hear for one post. The high frequency wave propogates in all directions within the 50 meter radius at half-bala speed. This can be negated by blocking one's ears or the opponent for whatever reason is unable to hear already.
Another loud roar resounded, the beast had noticed the sudden influx of energy from a cero being charged. The creature snapped towards Chandre, who had charged at it with the charged cero. For a split second, everything went silent as the bars closed around the dangai spirit. Yet, right before the steel completely closed the vile creature in, it's claw closed around Chandre's face, pulling her in, taking the cero at point blank, losing his arm in the progress, yet. Chandre would also be quite hurt from the backdraft of the discharge from the mighty attack, with a swift and brutal kick, it tried to slam Chandre backwards against the bars, breaking through with her body. The creature broke through the steel bars with a loud roar, mist slowly seeping out from the missing arm. Soon enough, the mist would reform into an arm. He dissappeared from sight, appearing behind Noburu with a low snarl.
A loud howl resounded from the adjuchas, causing an only louder roar to resound from the dangai spirit. Though, it couldn't hear a thing. A low, slow snarl left the dangai spirit as he charged forward again, aiming to sink the chained knife into Noburu's skull.

Chandre had to admit, she didn’t expect for her head to be grabbed so roughly, or with such speed. This creature was certainly a barrel of surprises, and the lady hollow didn’t want to enjoy too many more before it was in her lab. Either way, when the thing tried to pull her in, she just kept her body where it was and let her neck grow long and serpentine. The cero went off more or less without a hitch, though the jerking motion from the creature pulled her aim off course and merely rid him of an arm. The mundane steel bars that had begun to forge themselves around the two seemed to offer little resistance as her cero vapourized the mundane metal and kicked up a plume of sand.
Still, the thing had let go of her face, presumably either out of pain or to pick up the weapon it could no longer carry without a free hand. Chandre took the time to kick backward out of the sand cloud, her neck returning to a manageable length. She had positioned herself more or less between the wolf and the arrancar, a sort of haphazard attempt to keep the creature surrounded. She heard the arrancar voice appreciation, which was a pleasant change of pace honestly. It was at this point she felt the little tingle of somebody politely knocking on her mind, which she presumed was one of the two around her trying to initiate contact. She accepted the invitation happily, even as the dust settled and the creatures arm pulled itself back together from the smoky remains.
Hello? Can anybody hear this? It would appear to have some sort of ability similar to our high speed regeneration. she thought, though trying to think in Japanese was actually a lot harder than just speaking it. She wondered if her accent came through… or even if these two could hear her thoughts at all. She was presently designing a machine to accomplish a similar feat, but that was neither here nor there as the creature didn’t stay placid long. It shot after the wolf hollow this time, arriving just in time for the furry little fellow to let out a deafening roar. It was very unpleasant! All she could hear was a subtle ringing, but was otherwise none the worse for wear. A little warning next time…[/i] She thought with a bit of a huff, still not knowing if this hollow even had baser intellect, or understood the idea of working together for a greater purpose. Speaking of warning, do not be terribly alarmed by this next bit. She thought, focusing on the rietsu that had just washed over her and deafened her, drawing in the energy sort of like a spiritual genetic sample. She faced Norboru and the creature, trying to keep her front to the thing so it couldn’t see what was going on as a perfect copy of the wolf hollow walked leisurely from her cloak just behind her. The only difference was a small candle flame alight in its hollow hole, even as a candle went out from atop Chandre’s mask.
Course mon petite enfant. She whispered to the freshly formed Vetruvian Homme, which bolted from behind her toward the centre of the group. Oh Monsieur Grotesque! You’re going after the wrong one! She yelled over to the creature, pointing at the currently running summon. If anybody wished to, perhaps we could all focus fire the thing if it were to go after my little decoy? She thought, hoping the others could hear her little suggestion.
{Tech Used}Name: Vetruvian Homme Type: Summon Range: Close Tier: I-IV Highest Mastery: Hand to Hand Description: Chandre is an artist and she quite enjoys making lovely works of art, even in the heat of battle, and in this ability, her love of art and the practical need to defend herself are married nicely. She sculpts a form from the wax that makes up her body, creating a body that splits from her like some sort of deranged birth. The body can be whatever colour, shape or size that Chandre can take, generally being fairly unique in appearance since Chandre enjoys making original art each time she uses this power, each one being a ‘piece of art’ that she is proud to display. As with her own shape-shifting power, the form does not denote the function as the behemoth of muscle and spikes she makes could be physically very unimpressive. There is one similarity that all of these creatures share that Chandre (despite her displeasure in using the same look for anything ever at all ever) HAS to carve into them. They all have a hollow hole somewhere on their body, and in that hole burns a single candle wick. This flame is tied to the life of the piece, and snuffing it is the same as killing the piece. The candle flame is a special fire though, and needs special circumstances to be extinguished. Only spiritually charged items can affect the candle flame, so a piece could go swimming in the ocean without worry, but should be careful should a shinigami try and snuff them out with their fingers. The candle flame will eventually go out in 8 posts (Except when summoned as tier I summons, in which case the candle will burn until put out), leaving the piece to freeze like a statue of wax, never to move again. Chandre only has four candles on her crown, and regardless of tier, she can only have four summons active at once. She must follow normal rules for maximum summons at tier III and IV though, limited to three and two respectively.

Eleanor pondered for a moment the next best option. She could release her zanpactou, but given the creature's outburst of power several moments ago, she had the feeling that doing so might actually backfire on them. It was still an option, but one she decided not to pursue just then. Charging in directly was risky, but with her robes and numerous defensive abilities, she doubted even this strange creature could do critical damage that quickly. That would limit allied attacks however...Unless she gave warning otherwise, at least.
I shall endeavor to assist your...hommonuculus? In short range. Please do not restrain your attacks. These robes are far more sturdy than they appear. As am I. With that thought, her quicksilver attire warped and twisted around her, the excess material shrinking and forming a thicker layer, surrounding her head as well as the rest of her. Less a robe than a curious suit of armor, Eleanor vanished with a deep, base note. Sonido carried her hurtling toward the beast. With two targets at short range, it would either have to try and get past her defenses, leaving it comparatively open the the strange creature the wax-like hollow summoned (as well as the other pair's actual attacks), or it would aim at the creature, in which case Eleanor would tank the blows as best she could, dodging and soaking hits as needed. Skilled in hand to hand combat, she was armed with her own strength, the offense and durability of her robes, and below them, her zanpactou-tattoos on her arms and legs. She made an initial feint-upward before sending an elbow strike toward the creature's large center of mass, in the hope that it would knock it off balance somewhat but to distract it in either case.
{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Name: Quicksilver Robes Class: Item Type: Item Tier: VII Description: Eleanor's bulky, silver robes are composed of a tremendous pile of Quicksilver with hidden Orichalcum plates submerged below the liquid material's surface. Quicksilver, as normal for the substance (see Rubedo below) responds to Eleanor's will and, despite being too large for her body by quite a bit, evades and move about so that she never stumbles or is slowed by it. They are normally "programmed" to defend against incoming attacks.
Noboru watched at the sheer strength of the fellow hollow around him. They were without a doubt much stronger than himself, easily being able to kill him if they wanted to, most likely his only saving grace this time being that they all had a current common enemy. Noboru listened carefully, not saying anything in his mind, trying to wrap his head around all that was going on, it seemed this battle had exponentially increased in its difficulty now and Noboru surely could see how outweighed he was compared to everyone even this spirit.
“Apologies for the lack of warning.” Noboru thought and spoke to the rest, “I’ve not come across this kind of communication before it was a bit of a foreign thing to me. It seems though I might be our weakest link right now suddenly. I will try to assist best I can, however I don’t know how well it will all work out.”
“It does seem though as a focused attack might be our best option. As you’ve said.”
Noboru promptly sent out a stream of his reiatsu into the shadow of the spirit, hoping to enclose him in his own shadow in binding technique. It was one of the versatile methods of a technique he had used quite often himself as a more defensive manner. Though he was weak, he could only hope that the attack would at least hinder it in some manner. Possibly the necessary delays for the others to accomplish their techniques, after all the speed at which they all moved sometimes only a few little moments were needed to land the ending blow.
“Watch your ears.” Noboru would quickly think before unleashing another technique, exhaling a large howl again hoping to even more so confuse and disorient the spirit.
Right now distractions were all Noboru had and hoped that his lack of power would not shine through as much as it was currently to him.
name: Black Lightning type: Passive class: Hollow Powers range: Self tier: II description: Use to the shadows and quiet when his hollow powers are activated he is given a x2 speed boost that he often finds useful when he wants to get away from a current situation, though becomes useful in battle situations if needed.
Name: Ensombreza Cobija (Shadow Blanket) Class: Hollow Technique Type: Defensive/Binding Range: 25 meters/Self Tier: III Description: The user shoots reiryoku into their own shadow, pulling it up around them like a thick, dark, slightly transparent blanket, hence the name. This is among the absolute fastest of all Hollow techniques in execution speed, being used for a last minute defense against fast attacks, such as Bala. One of the only weaknesses of this technique is that while the user is shielded with their own shadow, so too are they incapable of moving, until the shield is broken or dissipated by the user. The user is also capable of using this shadowy cover to trap an opponent at half bala speeds, using the target's shadow. The shadow can only rise up 7 feet from the ground to engulf either the user or the target, however once it comes in contact with what it is meant to cover, it can stretch over even the largest Gillian.
name: Deafening Howl type: Supplementary class: Hollow Powers range: 50 meters tier: III description: This ability allows Naboru to howl at such a frequency that all, except for Naboru, whose ears are not protected from the frequency will be unable to hear for one post. The high frequency wave propogates in all directions within the 50 meter radius at half-bala speed. This can be negated by blocking one's ears or the opponent for whatever reason is unable to hear already.
Annoying! Annoying creature! The spirit roared loudly as he saw the fake wolf toddling away. The mindless beast seeking nothing but the blood of it's foes wasn't as bright as expected and immediatly set course for the wolf. Yet, hearing had returned. But he wanted payback at this thing. Tear it's guts open, rip it to shreds for causing damage. A low snarl left the creature as he persued the homonculus wolf. He was swifter, a sudden shunpo carrying him to the creature he wished to maul, torture and mutilate. With a triumphant roar, the dangai spirit loosened his grip around the enourmous blade, only grabbing the knife. Using the large blade and chain as an extention, before trying to slash the legs from underneath the homonculus, before charging in with a frenzy.
Dropping the blades and aiming to shred the fake wolf to pieces and shreds, using the vile mouth to rip it's waxy flesh to pieces. It was pitiful to see the lack of any kind of wit in the spirit. Another howl resounded, popping his hearing once more, a shadow pulling it down. A loud snarl resounded once more as only now, the creature saw the error of it's ways. It was a mere distraction.
{Techniques}Name: Fading Strike (Atemi no Taishoku あてみ の たいしょく ) Class: Stepping Tier: I Type: Stepping, Passive Range: Close Description: A strike in the shadow, an image that doesn't exist. Applying his mastery of the sword with his unparalleled speed, Kuroda augments his strikes, be it from blade or hand, creating a discontinuity between the image one sees and the actual strike. The sheer speed of his attack makes it appear slower than it actually is, and the actual attack hits about half a second before the image of the attack looks like it will hit. This plays an opponent against their instincts, as they need to respond to an attack before their vision tells them to. This ability applies during the first attack made in the same post as a use of Kuroda's Shunpo.
Name: Emulated Strength Class: unknown Type: passive Tier: ?? range: ?? Description: Using information gathering from another spirit at this location[yume], the spirit is able to emulate the powers that they have seen, being able to make copies of those techniques. Due to their shared collective consciousness, they can only choose to focus on one other spirit and cannot access another spirit’s information.
