"The biggest hollow Colony in Hueco Mundo "La Fortaleza" is showing signs of a revolution.
"La Fortaleza" is an underground citadel, built in a fashion similar to that of "Las Noches" but far from the glory this structure carries. In this place, Hollows are known to gather, letting their killer instincts aside and settling for the reiatsu rich lake that serves as the geografical middle of this place. The intensity of this lake is such, that even Adjuchas can live without eating other hollows. That is, if they stay close enough to it. Such miraculous fountain, however, has no effect on Arrancar. Not that it matters, as the Hollows are territorial of this lake, to the degree they'll group against any Arrancar that gets near this place.
Other than that, the Hollows of this place are surprisingly calm and quiet. We attribute this to this misterious lake, however, since we cannot get close enough to get a sample, it's hard to determine the real explanation.
Until the moment, this place had been considered Neutral in our war, however, with the appearance of Dios de Diablo, some Hollows inside are starting to get unacceptable ideas. It's your job, to enter this place, and eliminate any kind of revolution sign.
By the entrance of this city, an loyal spy and citizen of this city will be waiting for you.
Remember, your lifes are precious, but at the same time, you cannot go killing every single Hollow in this place. These particular Hollows are organized and can be potentially dangerous if all of them move against us. This danger is exponentially increased if be add the threat that is Dios de Diablo. In other words, you CANNOT go into a killing spree.
Find the head of this Revolution, silence him, and get out. Most likely, you'll have to get near the lake, if by any chance you happen to get a hold of a sample, you'll be rewarded. This comes as a second option, and if you happen to ruin the mission for the reward, your punishment will be severe.
Mircalla Zolmao - Primera Espada"
The Espadas neared their destination, a blank space in the middle of the dessert. The two of them had been told only the minimum details concerning this place, but the spot they had neared was not like they had imagined. However, in the exact place of their meeting, a hooded figure awaited.
Espada Mission Rules!
Espadas are free to chose their mission, and expected to deal with them until the very end. WITHOUT help from the higher up Espadas, OR other Espadas (Which should be on other missions themselves ;p)
Everyone is free to "Adopt" any kind of Arrancar. In other words, have them join their Fraccion, but Hollows will only be chosen by the higher ups (Primera-Cuarta Espada) - You never know when possible spies are :flirt -
It's in the best interest of the thread, that all the participants are active. If any participant becomes inactive for an extended period of time, their character will be "Knocked out" by a mod, and remain unconscious until they return.
Remember, you are EXPECTED to complete your missions ;p - Failing them, or going your own way will result in a Point Penalty
That covers everything I think :XD
Ja'eq moved across the white sands silently, like he was part of them, his thin, tall, body moved in a peculiar way as if he was hovering above the sands. He didn’t took his friccons with him, only a single leather case of which its content he kept to himself. As he moved towards the meeting zone he reminiscent over the early morning when he received his mission.
********************************************
Ja'eq woke up, it was a long night, he had to overseer the transportation of his old lab to the current one in the depths of las nochas. A letter was thrown in through the doorstep, this will be troublesome. He rose from his big bed (for security reasons, the bigger the bed the further the would-be-assassin will need to move on it to reach Ja'eq and thus waking him up) and put on his fake face mask and went to the shower where he cleaned himself, the espada duties are second at best.
When he finished he returned to his bedroom\laboratory\art storage and took the letter, he was correct, this was troublesome. At that day Ja'eq planned to take a trip to the real world and to seize a car, he always wanted one, but now he will need to take a detour into La Fortaleza for a little assassination job. "Easy cash…" he pondered about that, does he get paid for this services?"but now there is a need for a little something for this mission to work," he draw his blade and approached one of the lobotomized hollow minions of his, "don’t worry it won't hurt…who am I kidding?! It will hurt a lot, sorry."
**************************************
"Such a troublesome day…" the espada was wearing a plain brown cloak for concealment, "where have my partner gone to?"
urs have passed and Ja'eq partner was nowhere to be seen, it was ridicules, after all why does he even need to work with a partner? They will only fuck up and cause troubles.
As he walked towards the meeting with the contact, Ja'eq pondered about his position in the espada, "how weird that the 6th espada is the only Gillian one, I wonder how much strength I would had if I was an adjucha like the rest?" in a way he would feel more comfortable in the hollow colony then in the espada meeting hall, "at least the hollows didn’t pretended they are superior on someone while those failures of espada sat and talked about such pointless things such as control and gaining power or even peace and honor. Even that Diablo fellow is the same, 'pure hollow'? Is there such thing? Hollows are not something of flesh, they are a state of the soul and it doesn't matter if you are Arrancar or not, you still have a mask and a hole, you are still empty.
Instead of wasting all this time on killing one another we could have live our days just doing what was fun for us…how I wish I could have went to the real world instead of going to kill someone I never meet…they usually would come to me…I wish I'd never killed that 6th espada." he kept on ranting for hours until he reached the meeting zone.
"so, I am here…now what?"
((OOC: well, now ill play the waiting game, my piece is in position, do with it what you want, either get some1 to take krompt place, get krompt or let me continue.))
"So what have I had in the last few days? My plan to enter Kayder as the 6th has failed, mostly because I actually thought he can handle complex thoughts such as talking and not getting killed by the other espada. After that humiliating introduction I meet my fellow co-workers, what do I have there? The 10 talk to himself, well I am doing that right now but that is mostly because I am ALONE FOR SO MUCH TIME, WASTING MY TIME AND TALENT AT THIS MEDIOCRE AND POINTLESS EXCUSE FOR A MISSION!," Ja'eq waited to the desert to answer his yell, "the 9th seems to forget that he is still a hollow and that his kind eat souls, fake justice…caused more harm to this world then it claimed to repair…the 8th have the intelligence of a kid, one can only wonder if this is a permanent damage caused in childhood or just general stupidity? The 7th is simply too quiet…wasn’t she supposed to be here? The 6th is handsome and clever and…wait, that’s me so of course I am all of the above."
After a minute of self admiration he moved on, "the 5th…those damn jail baits are a riddle, the quiet one read a book, so there have to be at least SOME intelligence there, but the loud one…" he remembered her answer to why they were brought there, "…is stupid."
"and there are the final 4…they know one another, they actually know what the plan is…we are kept out of the loop…we are being lied to, we are also expendable as much as they are concerned…the difference is that to me they are expendable just as much. I would sell them up the moment it would be profitable," This he said to himself in his mind, you can never know who is watching…
He remembered the past, his life as intelligent Gillian on the beginning of the long journey to become Adjucha when that shinigami came over a century ago with his hogeyokou and promises of power…Ja'eq was different back then, much more primal, and strength alone was something that appealed to him. And so Ja'eq was turned to Arrancar and all the dreams of strength dissipated, there was no serious change of strength, nothing! If he could have waited he could have reached adjucha level and maybe then he would…no, this would have been wrong, he might have ended like those buffoons who march in the desert and fight one another for no reason, what a sad destiny.
With this new body he could have been only assigned to the hospital ward, well it wasn’t really a hospital; they would just stitch things back and let them heal on their own. It was there that the damn 10th killed one of the nurses under Ja'eq care which made him understand that being all brain and no muscle will only get you killed by all muscle and no brain, he understood that and prepared. With his new knowledge of the body anatomy and his unique release he learned how to kill, and by the time the first espada era was crumbled he was well trained in killing with swift movements…
But as the age of Arrancars ended he had nothing to do in los nochas and left to the southern mist forest, there he opened his lab and started to gather art pieces…until this annoying day he got a visit from the 6th…

Soon before the Sixth Espada appeared a large cloaked figure that knelt on one knee before him. Though the figure was kneeling, it still was nearly the same height as him. Most certainly the muscular type. The figured removed the hood to its cloak revealing a shaved head and strong facial features, "Charmain Moritz, fraccion to the third espada at your service. There seems to have been some sort of hold up involving the 7th Espada, so she could not make it."
"doesn't matter," Ja'eq interrupted chairman words, "I don’t care who is my partner, I just want to finish the job FAST," Ja'eq measured the friccon size and was pleased, "actually, this might be even better, since we are going to a HOLLOW colony we will need to look as much inhuman as possible, your size is actually a great benefit, yes…" with this, Ja'eq continued to walk towards the colony.
"Is there anything you might already know? Anything that might be of help?"
with chairman size and Ja'eq thin, tall body there is a good chance they will be left alone...and of course there is the little suprise in the suitcase.

Suddenly, the sand trembled, and formed a sandpit of considerable size that started sucking both Espada and Fraccion in. An enormous Worm like figure appeared - It's mouth was big enough to actually swallow them both.
"So, you are the ones I've been waiting for!" An Arrancar with blue hair and standard clothes, humane looking clothes, shouted from over the worm-
"Are you the ones sent by the Espada?"
Such a loud spy…Ja'eq didn't like that but he does need the spy help so he went on with it.
"Yes we are sent by the espada," Ja'eq didn’t wanted to expose him and Chairman to this person but what the worst that could happen? He will kill the blue haired man?
"And you are?" he stood there, unflinching in the desert wind, with a cold emotionless look at his face, some would think its boredom or being ruthless but in reality it's just the beginning of a headache.

"I must apologize, I was only told to assist you in this mission along with the information that was given in your letter, nothing more," was all Charmain got out before they both started to get sucked into the sands. Most individuals would have panicked and tried to flee, but in this one's mind there was no need to. One of their caliber could escape easily enough, even after being "eaten".
Besides, this one wasn't about to lose face in front of something like the sixth Espada, so Charmain opted to stand calmly besides him whilst waiting for the other arrancar to respond.

"Indeed, I'm the one who was waiting for a pair of envoys... Not that any other Arrancar will go through the official entry... So you must be them.
Names are unimportant. In the city, I'm known as Depeche, but you are free to refer to me as you wish. So, what are you two waiting for? Care to get on?"
The enormous worm-hollow neighed, it was obvious it was waiting anxiously.
Once both figures had gotten on, a series of membranes locked them in a confined space. It was still possible to see outside, but it was as effective as seeing through a blurry glass - One could still figure out what was happening outside, like the worm digging into the sand, but lacked all the details... Not that there was much to see in an underground tunnel.
"Now, you two might be sent by the Espada, but remember, this city does NOT respect titles, particularly the Espada one. So, you might as well hide that fact from the public eye...
Situation is as follows: This big guy here was thought to be the only way to get in and out of the city, but few weeks ago, a hole of considerable size was found in one of the city walls - Ever since that incident, there have been increasing death reports and random destruction, and all have been attributed to the Espada. A week ago, a charismatic and "Popular" Hollow, Vladimir Ulyanov, has been gethering masses and giving speeches against the Espada. Slowly, but steadily, his ideas are gaining followers, and as long as the "Espada" attacks continue, Arrancar safety won't be at rest -
By the way, we Arrancars have been facing difficult times. That's the reason why we have gathered on the edge of the city... these "Arrancar Slums" will be our destiny, we'd like our arrival to be as unnoticed as possible. From there on, we'll advance through the Hollow Bastion (OOC: Sue me Square-Enix:flirt) into the Gillian Citadel - There, we'll find Vladimir and silence him once and for all.
As for the fake Espada, they love attention, so we'll probably find them along the way. For the moment, Vladimir Ulyanov is your main objective"
Depeche sighed... it was exhausting to give this long speeches, but it came with the job.
"Any question before we arrive to the City?"
Ja'eq climbed on the worm thing when the weird membrane surrounded him, "so this is how they travel…"
Ja'eq listened well to the explanation, it was adequate "Well I would like to know…is this wall…is a normal wall or one of that energy dampening stones like the shinigami ones? And is there a place where the hollows gather? Some kind of a communal area? And finally…where is the lake i heard about? and dont worry about the arrancar trasspassing thing."

"Actually, yes. They are, of varying intensities and increasing purities.
"La Fortaleza" is composed of five different concentric sectors. The "Arrancar Slums", The "Hollow Bastion", the "Gillian Citadel", and the "Adjucha Abatis" - As I'm sure you might have guessed, each one of those sections is inhabitated mostly by their namesake. Each sector is separated by walls of deathstone, strong enough to hold their inhabitants at stake. Other than that, the whole city is surrounded by a wall of similar material that merely rejects Hollows attention.
Each wall has a gate, guarded by the strongest of each sector. Other than that, walls are no-man's land. For one reason or another, Hollows go aggressive and feral near the walls, so you won't find many souls on it's edges...
And about that lake, it is located in the middle of the "Adjucha Abatis", but it streams around the whole city, reaching the outer edges until the "Hollow Bastion", where you can find it as small puddles. As I'm sure you might have heard, the Hollows are EXTREMELLY possesive of that lake's water, and will go beyond imagination to keep Arrancar away from it... Reason's still elude us, and the samples we've aquired from the outer edges are far too contaminated by Hollow residues to serve in our investigation. My advice, stay away from that lake"
The worm started shaking... That meant they were nearing their destination.
"the gates won't be a problem to me, I can just walk through them, or beneath them…easy job, what I do like to know about is this Vladimir fellow, what is his strengths and powers, how does he look like, what are his habits and when does he gives his next speech. I assume those speeches are meant only for regular hollows?
As for the lake frenzy thing…I guess I won't have a problem as long as I am not an Arrancar…" he patted on the suitcase.

"Actually, unless you can pass through Deathstone, the only way to pass the walls are the gates. There are hollows that can move through the sand, so the deathstone walls go way below the city to prevent digging under them. And sure, Hollows don't like Arrancars getting near the lake, but so far, I've not seen any kind of problem among Hollows...
Vladimir is a mere Hollow. His powers are nothing to be feared, but his ideas and charisma have moved people with considerable influence... He's a natural born leader, weak, but powerful at the same time. I'd even dare say that once you rid him of his company, he's as easy to kill as a Human child."
Depeche looked at the muscular-one... It had remained silent all along the trip -
"Now, if you had another question, you'll have to wait, as we've just arrived"
As Depeche said this, light engulfed the trio. "La Fortaleza" - Once their eyes had gotten used to the light, and the membranes had backed up, everyone could see why Depeche referred to the Hollow Colony as a City.
It was immense. Near their arrival, small houses made of quartz and simple fabric could be seen, but in the distance, elaborated buildings of variated sizes and splendor decorated the view, the rest of the city remained hidden behind an Enormous wall of a grayish color. Obviously, this was the wall Depeche had referred to.
"This city is, simply put, shaped as a hill. In the middle and highest point, lies the lake. The "Arrancar slums" and the "Hollow Bastion" are the sole places not separated by Deathstone wall, but don't expect to be well received in the "Hollow Bastion" - Now, if you excuse me, I'll go get our transport. Remember, do not call unnescesary attention"
Having said this, Depeche Sonidoed out of the Worm Hollow.
"Hey! It's Saibaba!"
"Yay! Saibaba's back!"
"What do you have on your back Saibaba?!"
"Come play with us Saibaba!"
From the bottom of the worm, a group of child Arrancar were screaming. Unlike Depeche, this was a group of imperfect Arracars which wore ragged and old clothes...
"Woah! There are people here!"
"What your name? Do you have candies? Do you have toys? Do you like me?" the Arrancar children kept running around Ja'eq and chairman and bombarded them with questions without even considering to stop and wait for an answer.
All Ja'eq could have thought about was 'I will lobotomize every single one of you…' but he had to keep a low profile, and if you can't lobotomize them then join them. He reached his sleeve and took out several lollipops that he kept for dental patients; he was a pretty general doctor. "here kids! Have this! But this isn’t all!" he pulled out several sharp items that are used for surgery, "here are some toys! Now go and run around with them!" the kids took the sharp items and ran away, chasing one another with the sharp tools in their hands.
Ja'eq gave a look at Chairman, "what? It's not like I gave them scissors…" he chuckled to himself, "never mind this, come, let's go to that alley, I have something for you to do."
The two Arrancar reached the side alley and Ja'eq started to approach a nearby sewer opening, "well I am going to do a little investigation on my own, your mission on the other hand is to stay and wait for the blue haired spy, I want you to get all the info you can get from him but most importantly, I want to know when the next espada bashing preaching will happen, when and where. And be careful around him, I don’t trust a single Arrancar who live in this place."
Ja'eq moved alone in the sewers beneath the Arrancar slums, heading towards the hollow bastion, it's time to visit his old home from so many years ago when he was so much less…but before there is a need to disguise himself, he lowered the suitcase and opened it. Inside the suitcase there was a hollow mask, a one he curved out from one of his lobotomized hollow minions earlier this day ((planned that for a while, read first post)).
"TEAR THEM APART! Escalpelo!" a small rush of energy filled the air as his release was activated. He then took the mask and as his hands approached the perfect hole at the back of the modified mask it widened from the effect of Ja'eq release. He then put the mask on and removed the hands, causing the hold to narrow, fitting perfectly to Ja'eq neck. He then removed his release jacket, revealing his pure white skin, his perfect white skin, not pale but hollow WHITE skin.
Ja'eq is different than other Arrancar, and especially other espada, since he is a Gillian type, he barely started his journey to become an adjucha when he tried the easy way out, he was by all means an imperfect Arrancar…but to everyone surprise, this abomination to all sides surpassed them all, not by strength or by reitsu (even the friccons had more than him) but by his utterly devastating ability. The reason he became the 6th was only because the 6th was in the wrong place at the wrong time…it could have been anyone else. With his reitsu levels so low and his looks, he won't be found as long as he won't want to be found, and not having his so called allies know about this will make this even a better charade.
Where once the Arrancar Ja'eq stood by, now stood a hollow, his perfect white skin and his three insectoid legs as well as his abnormal long torso left no doubt in this. All that left was a single test, he roared. "I still got it."
He then scanned the surface with his vision, looking for a place where he won't be noticed, and when he found it he rose from the underground, sliding through matter as if it was air, he reached the hollow bastion, his old home, "bring back memories…now where is that damned lake," finding the lake will serve Ja'eq well, not only he will be able to acquire the water with his modified mask (how easy it to modify a item with Ja'eq skills, he is such a talented artist) but he will be able to talk to the hollows directly, getting some info from them. He never trusted that damn spy, traitors are always traitors.
Ja'eq strode through the streets of the old hollow-city, it's so much bigger now then it was a century ago, back then there was no lake and no many hollows, it was a small colony for gillians who launched raids on other colonies in small packs, in hope of getting food with minimal risk.
But as much as the place looked bigger so it looked smaller, it became a shadow of its former glory as a center for low level hollows to become stronger. The three legged 'hollow' walked in the street when a familiar voice came from a little hovel, "Ja'eq?"
And there he was, just like a century ago, the old hollow that was the 'leader' of the colony, and he looked the same, small, old, crumbling…glorious. "Yes, old man…it is I."
*******************************100 years earlier***********************
"Don’t be a fool Ja'eq! This quest to join the Arrancar ranks is foolish, you are better than this easy way out!"
"Silence old man, I am tired of eating other hollows just so I can remember my name! Sure those regular hollows have the pleasure of just sitting around and breathing, but we gillians are forced to work hard for that, I already feel my mind slipping into a cloud! I hear voices of people I never meet, I am tired of this…I have to become an Arrancar, I have to finish this…to be a ONE."
"Then you go without my blessing, don’t show yourself in here if you ever loss that third leg of yours and walk as a man…"
**********************************present********* *****************
"You look different, Ja'eq, your mask is different…how come?"
"A century is a long time, old man, many things happens in a century…" Ja'eq approached the old hollow and sat beside him,
"it been so long since I've been here…I am tired…is there a place for me to drink?"
"so you have heard of the lake, come ill take you to the local puddle…this lake have changed everything, it made things much easier, much calmer, it brought hollows and even Arrancar together…"
the old hollow took the tall tripod to a little puddle of water, "you will find this very refreshing."
"Thank you old man," Ja'eq lowered his head to the water and took a deep sip with the fake mask, allowing the water to enter the special chamber he prepared beforehand.
"Come, sit with me for a while and tell me your story Ja'eq," the old hollow started to walk back to the hovel.
"I am sorry…I wish I could, but I must go and meet someone, but one day I'll tell you everything I saw, and ill hope you will be proud of my story…" Ja'eq turned back to the sewer exit he came from, he cant tell the old hollow he used to admire that he is now walk on two legs. on his way he saw an adjucha bulling a regular hollow. How much he hated adjucha's…if they only knew the truth he alone knows, then maybe…
He reached the sewer exit. In the sewers he will change back to his Arrancar form and extract the water…the mask will be used later for a second time.

"Good God... Are you always this difficult to deal with?"
Depeche's voice echoed down the sewers. He was riding on what looked to be a massive cockroach, directing it's movements by pulling it's antenna.
"I thought I told you to stay clear while I got some transport, unlike you really want to go all the way walking to the Hollow Bastion's wall!"
Depeche was not stupid at all. Even though it seemed he had easily accepted those two as the Espada envoys, he didn't trust them one single bit, and the first thing he did was impregnating them both with a special pheromone he could unleash at pleasure... At his job as a spy, it made for a wonderful alarm, but now, it made for an excelent tracking system.
"Disguising as a hollow is not a bad idea, on this part of the city, that is...
And on a second note, if you've done something stupid, share it now, unless you want to be left on your own later"
"a man should have the option to visit his old man…I just wanted to see what happened to what was once my home, that have nothing to do with me being an espada or Arrancar but for me being alive," Ja'eq proceeded to remove the mask and put his cloths back on, followed by sealing his true form. The 6th espada was back at the field.
"And now I want to know something…where and when is the next time that hollow leader is going to give another espada hate speech? I want to assess the threat, I want to watch it."
Kolbertt
06-08-2008, 09:38 PM
"You mean you used to live here? What a surprise. You sure must have been out for a time. Ever since the lake sprouted, not a single hollow dared left the Citadel... There's one expected for tomorrow. But we must first reach the Gillian Citadel. Get on here, Milky. Sylvapen will take us as close as possible to the wall in a few minutes"
The horrid cockroach eat the waste in the sewers. Depeche had a particular way with bugs, Sylvapen in particular was helpful. Even though it was a Hollow, it had a particular burst on speed comparable to sonido, at the same time it devoured waste to replenish it's energies. In short, riding Sylvapen was like performing an infinite and free Sonido.
"I want to watch it, the assassination will follow at that night, and he will die in his sleep," Ja'eq raised his finger, "only after ill make sure that this person is the right one, only after ill make sure that he is actually a threat to the espada and only AFTER ill make sure that this isn’t a complete waste of my time…"
Ja'ek stepped on the bug, "with this clear, we can move on…and by the way…where is the big one?"
Kolbertt
06-08-2008, 10:03 PM
"*Sigh* To be honest... She was horrified by Sylvapen and flatly refused to mount it:facepalm So she decided to go on her own to the city wall. I had another ally guide her there. She won't make it as fast as us, but she'll be there nonetheless. Now, get a hold of something, this can be a bit harsh to get used to - Hss!"
At the sound of Depeche's hiss, Sylvapen opened it's wings, submerged on the water, and sonidoed through the sewers, opening the waters in half as they passed by.
It was mostly a forward trip, but on the ocassional turn made itself felt.
Few minutes later, the roach stopped abruptly.
"This is as far as Sylvapen can take us... He's not as useful on the outside, and he cannot go through the Deathstone wall. So this is the last you'll probably see of him...
Directly above us, lies the door-gate. The gatekeepers should be around here, and even if they are not even Adjucha, they both have proven strong enough to keep some Arrancars at bay.
As for your mission, I won't mind how you do it. It was my job to get you in front of Vladmir, what you do after that is not my business"
"very well," Ja'eq got off the insect and sat down, "tomorrow we...I shell rise up, kill those guards and open the way to you to show me the speech. then i shell follow him to his home and kill him, but only after i hear that person...i love speeches..."
Kolbertt
06-08-2008, 10:37 PM
"What you do or don't is not my issue. However, I happen to have a less violent and slightly more comfortable option. We go past this gates, spend the night by my house, and you'll be free by the morning. Because sleeping in sewers is not to my taste"
Depeche was confused... He had expected this particular folk to go head on and attack the guards or go missing like he had done last time...
"If this option is more to your taste, follow me. I'll go clear the way. If not, I'll be by the other side of the gate tomorrow first hour"
Having said this, Depeche pressed a button by the wall. The roof opened up and a ladder descended. Without a second word, Depeche started his ascension. Sylvapen turned around and dissapeared as fast as it had come, and the pale-Arrancar remained alone with the ladder leading outside open to him.
"very well, ill follow...a hour before the speech we will move. but ill need to know something, what is your power and release, so i can know how long i can take you without getting you killed," Ja'eq followed the blue haired arrancar, "it will be better to keep you alive even after this mission is over."
"also i was wondering...why are you spying for the espada? why are you aiding us?"
Kolbertt
06-08-2008, 11:16 PM
Depeche was slightly disgusted by the direct question. He was reserved in everything he did, kept his personal details as low as possible, and had even gained a position of power in a city by going by a totally fake name. To be asked so directly, made him feel like he was being questioned about his sex life.
"My powers are enough to stay alive and respected on the Gillian side of the city. I could very well get a residence on the Adjucha side, but I like to keep a low profile. And that's all you need to know about me"
The lid above their heads was open. Light engulfed them both and the buildings became visible. Unlike the Garbage seen back in the "Arrancar Slums" - The houses here were made of polished stone, and the quartz trees hade been gardened into beautiful flowers and decorations.
"As my purpose for helping the Espada... I've seen the treatment Arracars receive from Hollows...
In this city, being an Arrancar puts you automatically at the cross fire. You have to earn respect, or otherwise, you'll end up cleaning Hollow waste for the remainding of your life. Unperfect Arrancars are treated even worse than slaves. They are killed for dropping the tea tray once... Hollows are normally animals, but these Hollows here... They are a grotesque caricature of a bureaucracy. It's my dream to end this fake once and for all..."
"You two... What are a bunch of Arrancars doing here?"
A gigantic Gorilla-like Hollow approached them both. It's enormous fists were big enough to crush them both in a single swing. Not very far back, a hollow of similar size kept an eye on them. These two were very much, the Guardians.
"i don't care what is your power level or what and who you can kill, i ask how quiet you will be, how subtle and if possible, unseen...as for your reason, i can understand that...this world is blind to the truth, I've seen the core of the soul and i know there is no difference between a Arrancar and even a Shi..." he was cut by a big gorilla like hollow, apparently the guard of this place...
Ja'eq lowered his eyes, not meeting the giant gaze, to not provoke him, "you do the talking, you know these people, you know what should be done to avoid pointless conflict."

"Indeed, this is my part"
Depeche moved forward. He inserted his hand in his coat, to which the Gorilla-Guard reacted as if it were about to take a weapon. Instead, Depeche took out an ornamented badge of glimmering silver and gold with a precious Butterly bordered in it.
"My name is Depeche Ditrysia. This man behind me is an Honor Guest of the Ditrysia clan. If you dare raise your hand against me, be prepared to suffer the consequences of your actions"
Depeche's imperial tone, and the face of fear in the Hollow's face left little doubt to his words.
"Yes Sir... Excuse me Sir... it is just suspicious to see Arrancars on this area..."
"Are you implying something, gate-guard?"
"Not at all Sir! I was just doing my job!"
"Then do your job. Open the gates at once."
"Yes Sir"
The Gorilla-Guard moved his enormous body, pulled a few switches, and slowly, the gate started moving...
"One more thing. A Third Arrancar, accompanied by a hollow will come at this doors anytime. If I even hear the rumor of any of you bothering her progress, you'll face the wrath of the Ditrysia.
Now, mind following me?"
The humongous Guards bent down to salute the passing Arrancars. So defiant before, they were now kissing their footsteps...
As they went through the gates, the passage gave a drastic change. Unlike the silvery ornamented houses, this place consisted of laberintic walls. There was no ornament, just the walls and an occasional hole big enough to allow free passage of a Gillian.
And indeed, the Gillians soon appeared. Some mindless, but most of them had a unique mask...
Was this due to the lake as well?
"my, and i thought you said that arrancar are treated like dirt around here...how comes that your clan is diffrent? may it be that i stand among nobility without even knowing?" Ja'eq bowed his head slightly but by his tone of voice it was'nt clear if its a sign of respect or disrespect.

"Don't be so quick to judge the situation. Me being who I am is no coincidence. My sources of information would be severelly hampered if I were a mere Arrancar from down the slums, so I positioned myself on a perfect spot of influence.
The Ditrysia is a clan, one of the five great clans of the "Adjucha Abatis" - There, the territory is divided in five equal parts surrounding the lake. The Adjucha of that territory are responsable for creating the streams that follow all along the city. Though civil and coordinated to the naked eye, there's a political war going on for gaining more territories and closeness to the lake. As the Adjucha there grow in power, so does their thirst... So, Arrancars have a crucial value as mediators and dealers. Not being affected by the lake, they can move with relative freedom and enjoy the greatest pleasures... That is, until their Adjucha master decides they'll do a better job as a meal.
Outside of the "Adjucha Abatis", Adjucha employ other Hollows and Arrancars to do their will and expand their influence. It's of common knowledge that a civil war will happen once the five great Adjuchas grow to powerful to share the lake. Some Hollows ignore this fact, and instead prefer to live a simple life, others know and ignore this future.
Arrancars make for valuable subordinates. They don't have to be bribed with water as Hollows, as being considered of royalty is enough for them... Still, associating with Arrancars will make you look bad, so each clan has only one or two Arrancars working outside the Abatis, and of course, they are not exactly the top of the food chain"
"I really don't understand why any arrancar would want to live in such a place, where hollows eat arrancars...not that Las Nochas is any better," a scary thought came into Ja'eq mind, the flash of betrayal sparkled in his mind.
"tomorrow the leader will be killed, today you have brought not one but TWO arrancars into this quarter...it wont take much to add the pieces together and track the treachery back to you...what are you planning? do you have a death wish or do you have a plan?"
Ja'eq put his hand on his chest, "and where do i enter your plan? i doubt that you would simply sit around after i finish my job..."

"The death of Vladimir will actually be a blessing to the Adjucha cause. They already have enough fighting with each other, they don't need a third party meddling into their affairs anymore than neccesary. However, they all fear making the first move, as that would bring Hollows against them. It's a matter of political image really. However, in case someone decides to go against me for taking innitiative, I already have a back up plan to clean my hands"
Depeche had heard of the saying "There's no thing such as the perfect crime", however, he was willing to go against it. Depeche firmly believed that "The perfect crime" is not the one in which the culprit goes unscatched, but one in which someone else is blamed for it. In case anything went wrong, Depeche's superior would be decapitated while Depeche himself got an undesired promotion.
"Many Arrancars from this place are actually attached to this place... Some became Arrancars after a long life in this place. Others are too afraid to face the world outside. In this place, Hollows may eat Arrancars, but Arrancars won't need to fight Shinigami or other Arrancar. And if they do a pleasent work, they'll also be free from Hollow agression. Allying yourself with the most powerful is a gamble. You are protected, but you are required to excel at your tasks"
They had been moving for about half an hour now, and after jumping from pilar to pilar, they reached a wonderful mansion. Not different from the ones in the Hollow Bastion, with Quartz flowers and decorations.
"This is my place. I'll show you your room, and then I'll go look for Chairman. She must be near the gate at the moment..."
The mansion was quite impressive, those rich adjucha's got taste, at least when it came to decorations and their homes. Too bad they didn’t apply that to themselves.
Ja'eq entered his room; it was pretty good and exceeded his expectations. "very well, ill wait for you to come back."
It was clear that Ja'eq should be careful around this place, the smell of a trap was just too powerful and the prospect of having a backup plan that include blaming someone else could just as well include Ja'eq and the espada as scapegoats, which might mean that they will want the assassin head for clearing their guilt and framing others.
Treason just became more and more a viable possibility.
While waiting, Ja'eq went to clean himself, removing the mock mask and taking a long bath.
As he lay in the bath he thought about his past and how he came to this horrible position as the 6th espada…
**********************5 years ago*******************
The large espada entered Ja'eq home, a small hovel in the middle of the forest of Menos, "OI, is there anyone here? I was told that there is a doctor in the house…"
A white head popped from behind a pile of junk, "be there in a second," the face was gentle and pale, with long white hair and a small mask fragment on the right lower jaw.
"That is a nice deal," the large espada, Asado (I know, I am bad in names…), "I get to fight the 5th and now I get a pretty nurse to tend to me…"
"I am a doctor…" Ja'eq interrupted the 6th espada.
"Then I get a pretty doctor to tend to my whims…"
"…and a male," Ja'eq gave a freezing look at Asada, it felt like the temperature dropped by 10 degrees.
"Are you sure? With that long flowing hair, and this pretty face…"
"Just tell me why you are here so I can take care of you and you will leave as soon as possible," Ja'eq felt bad only thinking of where this might go to if he will allow this espada to stay here for too long.
"I am Asado, the 6th espada," he looked like he waited for Ja'eq to say something that will feed Asado massive ego, "Well I need this to be reattached," Asado dropped his left arm that was severed from the shoulder, "I had a bad meeting with the 5th espada, trying to take that place, didn’t ended well."
"I see…sit," Ja'eq gestured at a nearby table, "I will bring my tools, KAYDER!" A short Arrancar entered the room, limping to Ja'eq side, medical instruments sticking from his flesh. Ja'eq pulled small needle, with a string attached to it, from Kayder body.
"Is that thing hygienic? You just pulled it from this little one and it still have some kind of jelly on it," the espada questioned.
"Of course it is, Kayder flesh is jelly like and have antibiotic properties, it stop the bacteria from creating new cell walls when they divide by attaching itself into the S-RNA of the…you got no idea what I am saying?" Asado nodded, "it makes infections impossible."
After a half an hour the arm was reattached, "Wait 2 days, it will be good as new," Ja'eq cleaned his hands from all the blood and stuck the needle back into Kayder, who replied with a whimper.
As Asado left he turned to Ja'eq, "there is only one thing I need to make sure of," he grabbed Ja'eq chest, "seems like you told the truth…" as Asado left he could feel the piercing, hatful look that Ja'eq gave him.
"Ja'eq-sama, are you feeling well?" Kayder asked.
"I will kill this man one day…" Ja'eq hissed from his teeth.
"But then you will be the 6th espada!" Kayder warned his master.
"How hard can that be?" Ja'eq replied.

"Oh! Didn't know there was someone in here"
A blonde Arrancar, beautiful, but with a scar going all along her chest entered the bathroom. She was not wearing anything other than a towel that covered her body, not leaving much to imagination.
"And what a beautiful change from that stiff Depeche... Mind if I ask who is it that gave you permission to enter this place? Cause I'll be more than willing to punish you..."
(OOC: Lolz - I've changed plans to focus them solely on Ja'eq. This should make things smoother. BTW; Keep things family friendly! :lmao)

(OCC: Been relatively busy/lazy, focus on Ja'eq yes but I shall try to stand around in the background :lmao)
Charmain stood at the gates of the rather fancy mansion, and decided to make her way in. It took quite a bit longer for her to get here, but there was no way she was going to ride inside that disgusting worm of a transport. She looked towards the building, "My well isn't this quite the fancy place."
A beautiful Arrancar female entered the bathroom, she wore only a towel, that pleased Ja'eq.
Many who saw Ja'eq thought he was a scientist-type, living in a laboratory and only caring about inventing stuff, when in reality he was much different, his ability as a surgeon came from his interest in the human body, in its perfection and the art it could create.
His hate to idiots was unrelated to his interest in the human body and art in general and what he found as art might make some people ponder.
Ja'eq rose from the water, giving a slight bow at the blonde Arrancar, "I am known as the doctor, miss…?" usually Ja'eq would have killed those who looked on his real face, but this is entirely his fault and he was a reasonable murderer.
"I was hired by Depeche-sama to handle some medical operation," Ja'eq rose from the water, moving his hands through his long hair, squeezing the water out of it.
"I was told by Depeche-sama to stay in the room next to this bathroom, I didn’t know I was disturbing your bath time, I apologize…" he bowed at her and moved towards his cloths, "even though I won't resist being punished by such a 'desert rose' as yourself."

"I wouldn't get too attached to this mansion. After all, you are here for a mission"
Depeche's voice sounded behind Chairman.
"Now, allow me to show you your room"
Depeche intended to show Chairman the way around, however, his plans would not be so... Successful.
"Depeche you bastard! Where the Hell have you been?!" A muscular Arrancar appeared from behind a massive door. His outfit could be described as the mixture in between a wrestler's outfit, and an elegant suit. "And who the hell is this one with you?"
"This, my dear Laurence, is one of the guests you've authorized. Remember? Maddame Chairman, this is Laurence, my... Superior..."
"I think I authorized only TWO guests for this period of time, Durante, so who the hell is she?"
Depeche sighed, Laurence's mind was an inch from being considered retarded, but he'd never knew he also had memory issues - "We've got only the blond man I've told you before I left, remember? Plus her, add two. one plus one equals..."
Laurence grabbed Depeche with only a hand, at the same time it unleashed his reiatsu. Depeche attempted to look impressed, but he was not really in the mood to fake fear. "I pity the fools who attempt to mock me. And unless you want me to squash you against the wall, you will tell me exactly who this woman here is"
"I've told you before, my dear Laurence, she is our guest"
"Then what about the blonde woman?"
Laurence had caught Depeche's attention - "Blonde woman?"
0======0
"My... But you need to have behaved badly in order for me to punish you... Have you been a bad boy? Mister..."
The blonde Arrancar leaped forward. All that remained of her Hollow mask had been turned into an choker with a small skull on it, but such a meaningless detail would pass unseen considering the angle on which she was speaking. The towel still covered her body though, there was an ample cleavage, but nothing else could be seen.
"Cause I'd like to know the name of my Victim" She said as she blinked an eye
"Cause I'd like to know the name of my Victim"
The moment she said that Ja'eq stopped in his place, he turned around slowly, revealing an insane smile, "Those are good words…" Ja'eq tongue started to twitch and extend from his mouth, soon a blade still inside its sheet spurned out from Ja'eq throat.
Ja'eq pulled the blade off the sheet, it had dried blood stains on it.
"I had many names, but none of them matter for the dead…" with the blade in his hand he 'slide' at her, it seemed as if he was pulled from underneath the water and wasn’t walking. As he reached half way to her he disappeared into the water, as if he was pulled by unknown force.
The water held still. Ja'eq was still there, somewhere…a burst of water exploded from the left of the blonde Arrancar, Ja'eq busted from the water, the insane smile still covered his face, "when I was alive I was known as the Ripper, I loved cute girls like you…" he kicked towards her head, it was a slow kick that was easily blocked, just like he wanted.
With her hands occupied with his leg (especially the right one, the hand which was statisticly the dominant at most people, attacked from the left for a reason.), Ja'eq blade came down at his victim.
Still…he mustn’t kill her…she know his host, it would be really bad to kill his host girlfriend…but adding a scar or two wouldn’t be a problem.
Kolbertt
06-17-2008, 12:27 AM
The blonde woman gracefully dodged each of the attacks. The kick was surprisingly slow, and gave her enough time to somersault back and dodge the slash.
"Oh, so you are one of those who get aroused by blood... Nice - What do you say? We go around and create a massacre, my pale, handsome friend?"
The blue eyes of the Arrancar shone red for a second, but before she could make another move, a Katar was held tight against her neck.
"Reveal your name and purpose in this mansion at once" Depeche appeared behind her, at the same time he subdued the Blonde woman. "Talk at once unless you want your throat slit"
"My my... I was not expecting to meet a third party member... At least not until later"
"Speak at once" Depeche pulled the Katar closer. However, the Arrancars skin was not even bruised.
"You'll find my skin is harder to penetrate than most sweetie..." She headbutted Depeche, and created the opening to separate herself from him. And before any of them could react, had already punched a whole through the wall.
"What a pity pale-boy... I'd have liked to have fun with you. You give in to temptation... Much like me..."
Having said this, she left herself fall out of the building. Depeche threw himself after her not long after.
Ja'eq could have followed and hunt the girl down, he could have just stalk her through the walls, he could have done many things. But there is a huge difference between the desire to kill and the desire to fight.
Instead, he swallowed his blade and return to his bath, he came here to keep a low profile and running released at the streets for a girl who isn’t even his target would be unproductive.
He wondered if she had pride in her, if she proud of that iron skin of hers…if so…she is already dead.

"She's gone. I couldn't get any kind of information from her..." Depeche appeared from the same hole the woman had just made...
"I'd get some rest if I were you, tomorrow is an important day in our missions and the history of this city"
Having said this, he left the bathroom.
THe night was uneventful. Chairman and Ja'eq spent a peaceful night, and the following morning, Depeche came to them with an imporant notice.
"Vladimir's speech is about to begin as expected. However, at the same time, there have been reports of the fake Espada acting on a different zone of the city... We cannot deny the obvious fact that this is a premeditated act to hinder our plans.
Separating our team might be exactly what the enemy wants. Plus, there's the undeniable truth that a smaller, weaker team has less chances of success.
Laurence will be heading for the speech one way or another, so you are free to go with him. Meanwhile, I'll go with any of you to support and open ways in either the dealing of Vladimir, or the clearing of your name. I was ordered to support, the plan I must support is yours to decide"
Two separate objectives. Two separate roads. Which one will the Espada chose?
(OOC: Or in other words, what will Shdo decide?)
"A fake espada you say? That is VERY interesting; could there be another group out there? Trying to undermine mine? But this isn’t my mission."
Ja'eq rose from his bed, "we move as planned, we will hear the speech, and then I will go and…pay a visit to Vladimir, causing this whole catastrophe to disappear. As for the fake espada…they will only serve my plan…let's leave them there…"
They took off to the speech.
"All I need is to reach Vladimir when he is alone, if ill have 10 minutes with him I will exceed our original plan…I will bring victory not only to the espada, but to every hollow out there, so you only need to worry yourself with how to reach him when he is alone or almost alone…this HAVE to be quiet."

06-20-2008, 01:17 AM
Seeing how Chairman remained in silence, Depeche smiled. He had taken a liking for the direct and simple style of the pale-man. No distractions, no unnescesary fireworks.
"I thought that would be the case. And I've prepared a meeting with Vladimir. Your name is Julian Falso, an embassador from a nearby collony. In other words, you are Laurence's honor guest, and his personal secretary. You are here to deal the propagation of Vladimir's word in excange for a good amount of water. I'll handle all the formalisms myself. Meanwhile, all you have to do is enjoy the speech and remain unnoticed. You have front seats, as you would expect from an embassador"
The trip was uneventful. Aside from the enormous quantities of Gillians and Hollows, there was nothing out from the ordinary in this city. Arrancars could be seen in the distance, trying to get a glimpse of whatever was happening - All of them faced a wall with a balcony. At any time, the one who had gathered them all would appear and deliver his speech. Meanwhile, in the far away distance, crashes and explosions could be heard -
Ja'eq and company had seats directly in front of the balcony, just few metres away from it. Most of the crowd consisted of Gillians, but a flaming blonde hair called the attention of many...
"Doctor julian falso…that is how you should present me, when I walk in alias I am simply the doctor…this will create both consistency and an opening to my plan…"
The trip was uneventful, they reached the hall where Vladimir will take his speech…Ja'eq expected something interesting…
Then something caught his eye, a blonde hair…"our beautiful friend is here…if you don’t know her that mean she is an outsider like me…most likely that the crimes in the name of the espada were carried by her or by her friends…we will face her sooner or later, I am sure she will interfere with my mission…also, expect them to know everything about us, and the high possibility that they will blow our cover, start thinking of a way out of that possible mess, as do I."
Kolbertt
06-21-2008, 01:50 AM
"Noted... In case the need arises, I'll get you out of the city as fast as possible."
Meanwhile, the crowd roared. People cheered. Vladimir had appeared. He was a slim looking Hollow, not even a Gillian. And he looked rather regular, except for a golden mane.
"Fellow Hollows, Brothers in race... I've summoned you today for the sake of our future... The Hollow race as a whole"
Vladimir's speech lasted for an hour or more. What he said was nothing new, however, there was a soothing effect to his voice that made the Hollows agree and follow his words. Even Depeche himself was surprised at the simplicity of the speech, and was sincerelly dissapointed by it. If there was something surprising of all this situation, was that all this people could be so easily manipulated...
"This way Doctor, Vladimir awaits you in his office" Depeche guided the way, if anyone thought Depeche's mansion was luxurious, they would have dropped dead from the simple amount of luxury in this mansion. Hollow craftwork, Hunting Trophies (Which ranged from Hollow to Human Heads) and even Real World art pieces! - Even the doors were bordered with a material that seemed to be gold... "This is the place. I won't be allowed to enter the room, but I trust your judgement... You seem to "Think" before you act. Something strange as of late. I won't say luck, just do your work"
Depeche opened the door, and standing behind a desk, Vladimir himself sat in an intrincate throne.
"Welcome, Julian Falso. I've been expecting you. Please, take a seat. Oh, and don't worry about my secretary. She's here merelly to record our meeting for documentary reasons"
Ja'eq looked back just in time to see the blonde woman he had seen earlier. She was dressed in a tight, formal looking dress.
"Welcome sir. The name is Narcissa De Sade, pleased to work with such a respectable figure" She smiled wildly...
"Now, what are your plans with our collonies? Señor Julian?"
This Vladimir had good taste when it came to art, he had more stuff then Ja'eq and that made him a little sad. On the other hand all the bling-bling made the place a little…disgusting in Ja'eq eyes…
As he entered Vladimir room he saw a familiar face, the blonde girl. Ja'eq sat on the designated chair, "huh, Miss De Sade…I am honored to finally know your name…" he then faced Vladimir and answered his question.
"my colony wish to strengthen our trade and political ties, that will gradually reach the point of full military alliance, but as of now I can offer you my colony expertise in medical treatment and medical tech, we specialize in that, actually there is something that worried me since I saw you…when was the last time you have eaten a soul?"
Kolbertt
06-22-2008, 06:35 AM
"Well... There's no need for that here, Señor Falso. The lake provides us with all the nourishment and energy we Hollows provide... It's only natural that you, Arrancar can't understand this. A pity, really- But if its souls you are looking for... I can gladly share some of my "Personal Collection", as a sign of peace.
You know, it's not necesary to eat here, but one cannot deny the pleasure that comes from this... But, let's keep this as a secret, shall we?
Anyhow, what you offer is... Intersting, to say the least. We'll soon be needing support, and a good medical team can turn the tides in any battle. Not only that, but one can always look good if he cares for the people. Right Falso?
But in exchange, you must cover your part of the deal... You must supply us with the best two hundred hollows from your Collony, and spread my word all along your base. Once we've received your immigrants, we'll confirm your collony as our ally, and at that time, we'll deliver the pacted amount of water. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Sir... Mind if I add something?" Narcissa shyly spoke.
"How unlikely of you to speak, Narcissa. Sure, what troubles your mind?"
"I'm worried... This man here is considered a "Doctor" after all. If he's found out something wrong, maybe we should listen to what he has to say"
Vladimir glared Julian Falso...
"Just to put her at rest... What is it that you find strange?"
"The water does have a drawback, a slight one, you see…they dull the sense of hunger and allow to this great place to be made but…some spirits have another craving which is actually a deep and essential requirement.
I am talking about the menos, who start their lives as a hollow killers, the water seems to weaken the desire to feed on one another and thus weaken the desire to evolve further into the menos tree…
During my little trip in your town I found out something interesting that was considered a theory for long, and by coming here I could finally prove it! by denying the initial feeding that bring on to the gillian state you open yourself to greater danger…YOU, Vladimir, should have gone to the menos way of evolution a long time ago, but drinking this water again and again, after all you are the leader and no one will deny you of this wonderful resource, had brought you to the brink of a even worse destiny then losing one's mind to the Gillian collectiveness.
If you won't eat other hollows I predict that in a matter of months you will revert to a human soul (and promptly be eaten of course), there is nothing you can do. And without you this colony won't be a stable ally but a hindrance, but there might be another way…"
Kolbertt
06-23-2008, 03:12 AM
"Tchahahaha! How obvious it is, that you Arrancar can't enjoy this water! Tchahaha!
It's true that this water doesn't help us develop. But it's far from a hindrance in our evolution. Plus, I've got all the power I want right now, in this very moment. My words are feared even by the Adjucha from the Abatis. Not one of them will dare touch me. I'll be safe. My life is too precious.
Is this some kind of weird plan to lower the price of our water? Trust me, my dear Julian, this water is far from damaging. It's a dream come true to the Hollows... I pity you, Arrancar, but it's true. You'll never understand the peace this water brings-
The water will retain it's price. And that's definitive"
Narcissa kept on taking notes, writting vigorously everything Vladimir said and remained silent.
"Vladimir, I am not trying to lower the price or to reach a deal for my colony, I am saying that you are dying from specifically the reason I gave you earlier, by postponing the menos evolution for too long thanks to your water special attributes.
Believe it or not but my colony won't take those water if it means that the amount of Gillian and adjucha will be reduced. A temporal strength with the price of losing everything in the long run isn’t what we are looking for.
But this doesn't matter, you are still dying, your mask is starting to lose its density, it more brittle at the edges, I can break them with my fingers. Of course that there is a treatment, but I don’t feel like giving it to you since miss de sade tried to kill me yesterday, I assumed she was one of the Arrancar of the adjucha houses, but here she is…YOUR secretary…
So even if the cure to your problem is quite easy…I don’t see a reason to help you when you try to assassin me with your lackey Arrancar. She did attacked by your orders? or do you know even less about her?"
Kolbertt
06-23-2008, 05:23 PM
"Care to elaborate, Narcissa?"
"I'd like to know what he's talking about myself sir" - Narcissa looked confused, but in between the innocent face, Ja'eq could recognize a mocking smirk...
Don't be such a crybaby, Julian
Narcissa's mouth didn't move. But Ja'eq could clearly listen her words.
It's not like we did anything, so stop making the big fuss already... - A closer inspection on Narcissa made him realize her eyes shone red...
Yesss... That's got something to do! Good Work Julian!
"Are you sure Narcissa?"
"Yes sir, I spent all my free-day in a hot-spring"
"Then I'm afraid, my dear Julian, that I don't really know what you are talking of... Maybe you just got confused, after all, Arrancar all look the same to me"
"oh…then in that case you wouldn’t mind if we call in my host, dépêche, he was also present at the attack…I am sure he will shed light about this little…fiasco."
If Ja'eq can't make Vladimir to get rid of the annoying secretary then he might even the field, allowing him enough time to make his plan work.
something made Ja'eq unnerved around this girl, the red eyes...his hyper mind spouted random theories, duel personality, possession, mind wipe...Vladimir, the adjucha, everything in this little town is dust but this girl is a thorn.
Kolbertt
06-23-2008, 06:14 PM
Oh - I thought I was more of a rose than a thorn Narcissa answered back to Ja'eq's mental rumble.
"I find it futile, but if that will..."
However, Vladimir's sentence was unfinished - His head had been chopped of by a swift sword strike. Narcissa, and the whole room were covered in blood.
"MURDER!"
Narcissa Sonidoed out of the room, as she screamed murder all along the corridors.
"MURDER! VLADIMIR HAS BEEN MURDERED!"
Depeche entered the room, and witnessed the scene...
"What have you done?"
The sudden blubber of Vladimir was cut short thanks to miss de sade. 'Mission accomplished' was the only thing that passed through Ja'eq mind at the moment.
The girl left and Depeche entered.
"Actually I did nothing, look at me, I am still ivory white…white-chan…" Ja'eq rose from his seat, "it was our blonde friend, she decided to kill him then to blow her cover, and her reasons are unknown. Well my mission is over now, tell Chairman to bring the sample back to Los Notches and make sure she actually leave the town…I doubt you can do the same for me so ill move on my own accord,"
Ja'eq approached Depeche and grabbed him by the shoulders, "it was good to work with you but our adversary is quite lethal, a mind reader as it seems. And watch your back…oh! And so that you would have an excuse for this…" Ja'eq grabbed Depeche Katar-like-blade and buried it deep into Depeche shoulder. Ignoring his host confusion and agony, Ja'eq proceeded into the hallway, "don’t worry, no vital parts been harmed, I am a doctor you know…"
Ja'eq pulled his blade and declared, "RIP THEM APART! (Until I would be sure which one of you is right at the XXXYYY THREAD) ESCEPELO!" a gash of wind shook the hallway as Ja'eq returned to his true form, a tri-legged white hybrid of a man and a something.
"you just worry about Chairman and your own safety, I'll find the exit on my own, I have my own means of traveling underground…" with this Ja'eq tripped over his own leg and fell to the floor, "oh, clumsy me," but instead of hitting the floor he simply went through it like it was air, and to him it was.
At the sewers Ja'eq crawled, heading towards the district closest to the exit the sand worm had taken. Back to the Arrancar slums
((went through the mission again, well, the target is dead. they would have blamed the espada anyways...even if they do...without Vladimir (who was annoyingly stupid) they would go back into their own inner fighting...and if they insist on going after the espada, then Ja'eq will come again to clear things up, but as Ja'eq sees it...mission accomplished.)

Ja'eq's speed allowed him to reach the deathstone wall amazingly fast. And as luck would have it, the rumors of Vladimir's death had not reached the outer sides of the Hollow Bastion. So, the guardians of the Gate didn't know what had happened yet.
When the released Ja'eq stood in front of them, both guards looked at each other confused...
"Hey... Isn't that the Ditrysia guest?"
"Actually... Yes, he is"
The guards opened the door. Ja'eq calmly passed without being questioned anymore. He was ready to start the race back to the hole in the Arrancar Slums, the only exit he knew out of "La Fortaleza" - when a hissing giant cockroach called his attention.
Sylvapen had a small suitcase hanging from its neck. A suitcase Ja'eq found suprisingly familiar. Inside, apart from his possessions, Ja'eq found the sample he had retrieved from the spring, and a note.
To the Espada's Envoy:
If the situation's come to this, it means problems have arisen. I've taken the liberty of hiding the sample and your possessions with Sylvapen. Also, I've instructed him to lead you out of the city sewer system. There, you'll be able to ride Saibaba. He's been totally tamed, all you need to do is kick him softly and he'll ride you out... However, if things have come to a worst, he may have been sacrificed to stop undesired escapes. If that's the case, then you'll have no option but to leave on foot. It'll be a tedious trip, but it's possible.
If it comes to this, It was a pleasure serving the Espada -
Vespa Meliponi
Sylvapen hissed and jumped back into the sewers.

Meanwhile, after giving explanations and receiving basic first aid, Depeche smiled...
"Goodbye Laurence..."
"It's about time I'll leave this wretched place…" Ja'eq followed Sylvapen through the sewers, back towards the slums.
When they arrived he searched for the worm hollow that would take him away from the city…but all giant worm hollows look the same.
In the end he passed through the entry hole with his released form, without much effort. Now the long trip to Los Noches will begin.
Most of the journey was underground, the last thing Ja'eq wanted was to be attacked on the way back, and this was time consuming as it is.

Ja'eq eventually arrived at Las Noches - Things were a bit unorganized, since his arrival was earlier than expected. Mircalla Zolmao received the Sexta Espada, and personally asked him to meet in her room.
At the same pristine white room in which he had received the other Espadas, Mircalla now faced the Sexta Espada.
"Please, sit down my Dear Espada. I'd like a detailed and complete report on your mission, and I think our Third Espada would like to know about his Fraccion"
Mircalla's piercing eyes were fixated on Ja'eq's... Something about them brought the memory of Narcissa's eyes...
Ja'eq came into the first espada chamber; he was still wearing his travel cloths, still dirty from his trip. After he will finish this 'interview' he planned to take a long shower, change cloths and head directly to the real world.
He sat down in front of Mircalla and stared at her with his dead eyes. His stare was meeting with another stare, a one which reminds him of the blonde Arrancar, it made since.
They were both thorns at his side, one sends him to annoying mission and the other made that mission harder. He wondered which of those two would have to go first.
She wanted a report…an excellent chance for Ja'eq to do one of the things he loves the most, complaining.
"well, I left this place on time and reached the rendezvous point, waiting for my espada partner to show up…which didn’t happened…here I was sitting on the sands, thinking about the past when suddenly I got my…'partner'…would be better if I was sent alone to that mission…" he continued to mumble something incoherent, something about driving and wasted time.
"Then we found the spy, I found him annoying but later he proved to be valuable, I suggest we keep in touch with him. We continued into the city, apparently there is only one way which is by a massive sand worm…I then proceeded to acquire the water sample, even had the chance to meet my father! He is well, if you wondered.
We continued to the spy mansion…and then stuff started to turn bad…when I was taking my shower I was assaulted by this blonde Arrancar girl, and the day afterward I found out she was Vladimir secretary! Miss narcissa De sade or something…anyways, I tried to make Vladimir stay alone with me, you see I planned to rip several parts of his brain, making him a mindless dull and then forcing him to write a touching letter about how he was wrong to divide our world into different groups, and then to commit suicide in front of everyone…but that girl had another idea and she decided to decapitate him…
I won't hire her if I was looking for a secretary; not killing me is a major requirement. Anyhow, I then proceeded to leave the place on my own; the spy duty from that part on was only to extract the friccon."
Ja'eq presented a vial with water, the "Anything else? Cuz' I really need to go. You know where I live, we'll keep in touch?"

Mircalla gladly accepted the vial containing the water. However, at the moment she opened it up, the water turned into a blue butterfly, flew few inches and exploded into million of microscopic droplets.
"That was... unexpected.
But I'm glad. Glad because you were not only able to accomplish your mission, and glad because you found our Spy competent... Your standarts are particularly high, and I'm pleased to know that you find at least one of our subordinates competent.
Not only that, but you've brought up a sample of the water which may still be of use to us. As a woman of word, I'm willing to recompensate this feat. Is there a wish you want accomplished, Sexta Espada?"
it was clear that a very big smile was formed on Ja'eq face, "there is one thing, i want blood sample of every other espada...including you..." Ja'eq opened the case and pulled out 9 syringes and presented them to Mircalla.
"I am doing a little research and samples would be very much appreciated, also i would appreciate if no questions asked, it might be ruined if it reach the ears of the more simple minded espada, below and above my rank..."
((insert scary music))

Mircalla grabbed a syringe and stabbed her own arm with it. The syringe was filled with blood in less than seconds.
"Hope this helps. As woman of honor, I won't steal the blood of the other Espada's... It's theirs after all. But if you need more of my blood, feel free to ask. I'm curious as to what you'll find."
"well...i understand that the 5th and the 7th finished their job as well...i assume ill go and try to convince them to give some of their blood as well, good day to you Mircalla-Sama."
