The Nexus of Consciousness [D.S. Event]

What…what’s going on here?

It was the first thought that had entered Hayato’s mind. He had just put his head down in one of the spare rooms inside the fourth’s hospital. The night had been hectic, injuries and deaths seemed to keep piling up and it was just recently that he was able to get away if only for a few minutes. However, as his head had hit the table to relax it seemed almost instantly he was in what appeared to be another place. It was full of darkness with a simple stream of white light filling a corridor.

“Hel….Hello…” Hayato would call out into the nothingness. There would be no response though and that worried Hayato even more. He was seemingly alone in an unknown place. How was that even possible though? How could he have left where he was currently?

Hayato walked forward along what appeared to be an endless pathway of solitary light.

Yokubo o Una~tsu do you know what’s going on?

There was no response, maybe she was sleeping too? It looked like for now he would trudge forward into the dark…or rather on the path of light? It seemed as though he would have to discover the mysterious of this amusing, yet frightening place all on his own. Even when he wanted to sleep, the rare chance she got, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to.

Hayato stopped in his tracks as up ahead in the lighted path appeared to be the vague outlines of another human being or rather human being-like organism.

“Hello?” Hayato shouted at it, unsure of what it was or who it was, or even what was all happening right now to him in this weird other worldly dimension.

However that’s when it lunged forward at him and the closer it got the more it was certain this creature was anything but human, aside from the humanoid shape of him nothing was human at all. Whatever it was though was a mystery to Hayato. It looked like some kind of monster. A hollow maybe? It didn’t feel that way, not at all, but if not a hollow what could it be?

Hayato quickly shunpo’d as the creature came in close to him, just narrowly dodging a swipe from its horrifyingly sharp claws.

What the hell is going on here? Hey! Can you hear me? Yokubō o una~tsu this would be a really good time to help out?

But still there was nothing, whatever this spirit was doing right now, or why it wasn’t answering seemed to be yet another unfortunate mystery for Hayato. The young medical Shinigami pulled out his zanpakuto from his sheath, luckily having it on hand it seemed, at least he had something to protect himself with, even if his own spirit wouldn’t respond to him.

The Shinigami met another swipe of the creature’s claws with his own blade, shaking at the interchange, the power of the creature was extraordinary it seemed and with Hayato’s lack of field experience when it came to battle it made it all the worse. A sudden burst of energy from the creature sent Hayato wielding back, though he managed to remain on his feet, landing a few feet back, shaken but ok. The creature did not hesitate though and burst forward again.

Shit, he’s relentless. I need to slow him down somehow, someway.

Quickly Hayato shouted an incantation to a newly learned Bakudo, all the while thinking how lucky he was that he had decided to learn some, “Three chimes, rattling bones, the savage Raijin lets loose his fearsome roar!” Almost instantaneously upon completion of the incantation, and not a moment too soon, a dome electricity pushing outward roughly five meters in diameter, hitting the spirit on impact. This would at least give Hayato some time to try and figure some more things out, to try and figure out what to do and maybe even get a hold of his spirit. Though he wouldn’t have long as the electric field would only last a mere few more moments at this time, giving him virtually no help, and with no spirit to release or talk to what was he going to do. Times were not looking good for the fourth squad Shinigami.

KISUKE = URAHARA “A Mod Soul of this caliber…!” Kisuke mentally shouted in surprise, his smile hanging in joyous anticipation. He didn’t expect it at all, a brainwave that could forcefully exert its own existence inside such a powerful being like this captain-class Dangai Spirit. It could only mean that his power levels went beyond the conventional threshold most shinigami couldn’t even dream of attaining. In light of this unexpected development, Kisuke immediately rushed to modify his program to make contact with the Mod Soul by amplifying the comatose creature’s cerebral activity to almost its lifelike state. Its real world body jerked violently from the strain of the new program while its brain was being fooled into thinking that it was conscious. “Ansss.d.dasd.sawre.vew.ag.ygsa.vher.ya.yh.art.y.yuy.vasrt.uy.vatyutjhsaw!!” screamed the Spirit in an incoherent tongue while it continued its assault. Although unintelligible, it wasn’t far to guess that the with creature mumbling in an almost screech-like tone, it was desperately trying to communicate. Despite that, its actions became even more aggressive and unleashed a massive wave of energy that seemed to rival the Mod Soul’s now. With its new energy level in play, the Spirit released a large Cero-like blast from its non-existent mouth, capable of harming even the Mod Soul's advanced processes, even if it were just on a metaphysical level. Although far from dangerous, by itself, it could instantly knock the Mod Soul out for a substantial amount of time. It was a necessary side effect of synchronizing brainwaves in order to facilitate inter-racial communication that would, as the mental image weakened in strength, would allow a more civilized data set to overpower the initial combative programming Kisuke had implemented as a test run.

"Hmm."

Komamura stood in a pit of black, surrounded by what felt like water. Except it was not water; well it could have been, he just could not see anything other than his own body. It was very weird, as nothing could be seen in any direction that he looked, as if he was inside the Bankai of his former subordinate. But he could see his own features, which kind of perplexed him? At first he thought he was in a dream, as the last thing he could remember was falling asleep, but this felt so real, it could not be a dream could it?

As his mind tried to figure out exactly what was going on, the blackness suddenly began to rush past him, coalescing into a bizarre mixture of different images. As if he was being flung though the world at very high speed. Everything was blurry, it kind of looked like those scenes from a sci-fi movie where spaceships would go into so called "hyper speed". But was even odder was the fact that Komamura himself felt like he was not moving at all, the feeling made his stomach kind of churn.

All of a sudden he stopped, his knees felt a little weak, making him look like a little kid who had just taken his first ride on a rollar coaster at a theme park. Taking a moment for his body to catch back up to him, he took a look around. This was weird, where was he? A white marble floor was all he could make out before his ears perked up at a familiar feeling. Was that, .. Ichika? The hell? He could feel his tiny female subordinates reiatsu flair, just before being flung though the dream like world again.

His eyes narrowed this time as he came out of awkward teleportation, before him stood Amaori and two others he knew not of. But what caught his eye even mroe was that the trio were locked into battle with one of the creatures that he and Ichika had fought before in the Soul Society. What was going on? Was this even real? His mind though so, as before the thought even ceased he withdrew Tenken from his side and released his bankai right on the spot, this time going all out from the get go.

The last time he tried to be more cautious hurt like hell. Following up on the kido his subordinate released at the same time, he had his gigantic Bankai armor raise its sword and smash down upon the Dangai creature, in hopes of a swift K.O, then he would see about what was going on right now. As he was curious where he was, as well as who the other people were, and why they were even here in the first place.

ooc: sorry guys this post is a bit rushed as i did this right before a meeting, but i thought better this than nothing. will improve in the future.
