[War for Australia] - Darwin

Anomaly
Power Timer: 13/20 Posts Left

Felt like I wasted too much time; possible that I am running out of time until my reiryoku runs nearly dry. I do not know how it would affect me in the long run, but I will have to make a snappy decision.

Since the start of this mission, this grim anomaly is donned in heavy, dark armor with a black haori with white markings as if he is a captain, but when the captain's style of the opposite color scheme, it is likely that this anomaly was part of a separate division wayward of the Gotei 13. He leers down at the two lieutenants in the opposition against the shinigami team with a stern gaze through his full helmet as the silver trims of his armor reflects off the light from the barrier enhanced by the light of the sun. On the back of his haori was a mark in white inside a hollowed out white diamond geometry.

Not minding the destruction as the madness goes on, the anomaly puts down a dark-wood longbow onto the floor of a building's rooftop. Supposed that his location will give him the best of view of the situation and that building was behind the demon that just arrived, but at a distance so the demon would not immediately notice him so easily. While he is kneeling, he props up a folding stand that is designed to hold up a rather long and wide quiver that carries twelve miniature lances that he also props up for easy access when drawing. After that, he picks up a very big bow that was possibly over two feet over his head while the handle was at his shoulder height. With his armored hand grasping the upper half of the handle, he places the hardened steel anchor onto the surface, matching the noise of the chaos so it will limit auditory detection. After observing, the anomaly chooses which target to strike on.

One was fleeing to get some meditation,
One attacking on a whim,
One chasing the first mentioned,
One trying to keep the team from falling apart,
One just achieved a released state; Half-Shikai I think,
One went on a rampage like a dragon,
And one being the actual leader of the insurgence.

Thinking as he was adjusting his bow for the shot, he draws out a bolt while holding it by the midpoint to distribute the weight in even directions in his right hand as the bow was held with his left. Suddenly he feels something ringing in his head, a voice that he is familiar with.

"My fellow men, my loyal soldiers, my loving family and all those whom dare to take the title of my enemy -- I have come to you today to personally and wholeheartedly address the state of affairs transpiring in Australia. I'm sure, I'm sure in many places you people can sense the sheer ferocity of this battle. This is it, this the awakening for Earth's champions to unite and the start of the revolution of change which has been delayed for far too long.The insurgency you see today has been one in the making for centuries after the cataclysmic events that occurred in World War Three which altered the world as we see it today.

I start this war not out of desire to shed blood, but to turn back the pages of time. I mourn the last of every fallen comrade as if they were my own, but sacrifices must be made so that the essence of their life is captured, stored and spread throughout the globe to give us a start towards a new dawn. With the take down of the Monsuta's regime in Australia, we wish to send a message to the world and all those who work alongside these sinister forces akin to the Monsuta, The Kokuryuteshi, Shadow fall and all factions which have similar desires: we have become conscious, we have become strong and we will revolutionize the world from it's current condition.

It is with these words I then cement my responsibility and accountability for whichever events transpire for now. It is unclear how the sands of time will remember this day, but I will do everything in my power to ensure that our action are felt. With that, my call to action will decease. There is still much to be done in this riotous war, and I'll ensure these bloody hands morph the world into a more beautiful place once again. One where my descendants will not have to live in fear of the next assault, one where we can once again roam the depths of the planet without terror of our lives being claimed and one where we can be a prosperous, peaceful world again as it were in The Age Of Peace. So as I saved the world in my youth, I'll use this strength to do it again now.

For this is not a debate, nor a proposal, a contract, an appeal, a concession, a compromise, or a surrender. It’s our victorious step towards turning the tide in this centuries long warfare and our chance to strike back, maggots."

He pauses to expose himself to the war-speech as he shifts his bow away from the battlefield. He breathes in deep and lifts up his visor, revealing a man with gray eyes, dark shaggy beard and mustache and messy hair nearly covering his bushy eyebrows. His glasses are sleek while darkened by the transitioning feature that changes it from an eyeglasses to sunglasses. Mightily, he roars out with powerful voice of command, a voice demonstrated through long practices by leaders and kings throughout history,

"Warriors of Karakura! Reapers of Soul Society! My brothers and sisters! Victory at all cost! Enemies of my allies! Omissa spe qui intrat!"

The shout can be heard a long way as the words are clear enough for the Shinigami party to hear it while the enemies would feel shivers when the words are spoken out in the language long believed to be shared by demons. After that brief pep talk, he slaps down his visor so the only thing that the enemies would see is a demon in black metal armor carrying a foreign looking archery bow that can fire spears of damnation. For now he adjusts his aim and who he chooses is not for himself to determine, but what his soul would be telling him.

New Round!

Shinigami 3 (5th Division|Targeting Firestar and Xathis)
He stops for a moment and knows that he is outnumbered if he goes in, so he intends to try again with his kido. As he thrusts his both index fingers out at both Firestar and Xathis, he shuts his eyes and shouts out, "Hadō number eight! Tsuinbyakurai!" Translated as "Twin Pale Lightning," it is something he discovered during his time as a member of Fifth Division. With a brief pause of charge up, two bolts of lightning rushes out and the sheer speed was enough to catch anyone off-guard, but the damage is not as potent since it is seemingly in a raw state and in need of training if viewed by an expert of kido uses. Either way, this kind of byakurai kido is capable of striking down two targets; namely two unsuspecting enemies; Firestar and Xathis. He originally was believing in the bluff said by the challenger, but Kido was his best skill so far, so he has to try again to make sure it was just a fluke as Kido does have a habit of failing when done for a few times.

Monsuta 5 (Fleeing)
Knowing that the reinforcement is failing, he runs off to where he thinks would be the comm station, where he would hope to have more help. If he is not stopped soon, he may raise an alarm to the other Monsuta members and possibly receive more reinforcement.

Shinigami 4 (4th Division|Assisting Corgan)
As he arrives to Corgan's side, he tells him, "Tell me what to do and I will do what I can to complete it!"

Shinigami 6 (11th Division|Targeting Challenger|Assisting Shinigami 7)
As he is maintaining the flank with his comrade against the Challenger, he speaks out, "You're done! Give up now because 11th Division are what you're fighting!" He glances to his friend and notices that he is in a bad spot, so he attempts to grab the Challenger's attention by jerking forward to feint a charge while he makes a shout as if he is going to strike, which would hopefully cause the Challenger to slip up and expose himself to his comrade.

Monsuta 2 (Fleeing|Assisting Monsuta 5)
He follows Monsuta 5 as he is going to assist him on reaching the Comm Station to raise alarm to other Monsuta armies and allies.

Monsuta 7 (Ice Vizard|Targeting Tsumi)
Determined to defeat Tsumi, he calls out as he sweeps his hand along his sword's blade, "Shiver, Kuyuhitonomi!" His blade freezes over and shows its frosty texture. After that he holds his sword behind and places the tip of his blade onto the ground while crouching down. He presses his sword along the surface and shouts, "Kuyuhitonomi!" As the blade scratches the ground, the blade glows brightly and by the time he swings his blade upward towards his right, a river of jagged crystallized ice rushes out towards Tessa, Shinigami 8 and Tsumi.

Shinigami 5 (4th Division|Assisting Shinigami 2)
After he gets back from rallying Natalia to join in the fight, he rushes to Shinigami 2 and drags him to a spot out of harm's way before he begins using a basic healing kido to hopefully remedy his condition.

Monsuta 8 (Assisting Monsuta 7|Targeting Tessa)
After he sees Monsuta 7 launches the attack, he intends to attack as well with another cero aiming at Tessa, Shinigami 8 and Tsumi!

Shinigami 8 (3rd Division|Assisting Tsumi)
Seeing that they are going to attack, he intends to use flash step to get out of the way, but along his way up, one of the ice crystals jabbed his ankle and he only manages to grab onto one of the rods of the fire emergency scaffolding before he hangs on before feeling the intensity of the cero under his toes. Tsumi can see he was injured because of his right ankle bleeding after the cero went off. Since he cannot see where Tsumi is now, he can only hope that Tsumi was out of that path as he struggles to keep himself from falling onto the jagged ice crystals since he could not tell if the crystals are destroyed or not.

Monsuta 1 (Iron Vizard|Targeting Shinigami
While on the rooftop on the opposite side of the alleyway, he sees his target hanging onto the fire escape scaffolding. He uses hoho to get across from one rooftop onto another and after landing there, he places his sword straight up in between and in front of his eyes. He recites, "Break Everything, Kanadzuchi." After that, his entire body turns into a metallic color as the rooftop's surface crumbles a bit in response to his increased weight. He looks down at Shinigami 8 with a smirk as he simply jumps off the ledge and lands hard onto the scaffolding. If Tsumi does not save Shinigami 8 in time, the scaffolding will break and come crashing down on top of Shinigami 8, which will be fatal with the ice crystals below him. As for Monsuta 1? He will live through it because his Shikai allows him to reduce all physical damage down to moot, but will force him to walk only and he cannot use hoho, kido, cero and he cannot use anything other than raw durability and his Zanpakutō. His only weakness now is against kido-based abilities as the simplest of Bakudo kido will bind him quite easily, though moving him will be a feat of power for kido.

Shinigami 7 (11th Division|Targeting Challenger|Assisting Shinigami 6)
While maintaining his flanking on the Challenger, he is waiting for something to happen. One of them will have to screw up and leave themselves exposed. Having a bit more experience than his partner, he waits for Challenger to make a move and if Challenger falls for the feint, he will respond with a good slash down the Challenger's arm.
