Strange Encounter({Open})

Looking out towards the horizon, all one could see is sand, piles of it and if one were to look closely they could spot out hints of civilization burred by it. Ancient monuments that buckled underneath the test of time and Man's relentless struggle for power are laid to rest here. Ah, the wastelands do live up to its fame of being nothing more than a giant scar, carved into the face of the earth. All that's left here are dangerous creatures and the occasional outcast of misfit bandits that serve no greater purpose than to hinder those who'd prefer to tread across peacefully. One such person just so happen to be making his way across, right now, after receiving an anonymous tip about someone he was rather eager to "meet". His name was Shoda, Shoda Iramasha, and a man known for his unrivaled strength and tenacity. Many who are wise would prefer to stay out of this man's path but in the eyes of a beast he appeared to be nothing more than prey.

Shoda stuck to the path he chose, straying from it in any sense would mean being mocked by the very heavens above. This was his belief and perhaps the most strict training regiment he resigned himself to. No matter the obstacle he would have no option but to over come it, one such obstacle remained hidden and kept a watchful eye. Meanwhile Shoda began contemplating his next move after each step. There was trouble brewing in Australia and creatures of all sorts have rallied to the part of the world in support of this coming war. Certainly the Iramasha may play a hand in this and as such would be wise to be at their side. Come to think of it much plans have been set in motion for such a war and his presence there may be vital.

Distracted by these thoughts he still hadn't notice the looming presence of something so frightening that all other creatures would occasionally pounce at the sight of fresh meat had vanish. Will Shoda be warned in time or will this menacing creature get the drop on him ?

The ground was still and the skies were calm, not even vulchers were flying overhead right now. No wild animals can be seen running around. No real signs of life other than the ruins of old. But all that was about to change as a single hawk, one of these well-known birds of prey happened to fly by. As it got less than 150 feet in front of Shoda without warning without so much as the ground shaking a monstrous beast would shoot up eating the bird in one bite. The worm like beast diving back in to the earth like if it was nothing and coming back up even closer to Shoda, 100 feet away, the ground still not shaking at all. A dust trail was then seen shooting across the land in his direction, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30 feet away. Tell boom a large amount of dust was thrown in the air.



But the beast was nowhere to be seen, but from the dust cloud a girl would emerge walking slowly towards him. This girl spirit energy was like that of an arrancar. She was lacking any noticeable hollow hole or mask, but such things can be hidden. This young girl having silver hair, red eyes and a calm almost expressionless face. Than with a crackling sound she was gone, if he had followed her movements she would now be standing right behind him to his left side. “I was right it’s one of those angel things.” Her eyes would be carefully watching him. “What is one of your kind doing here? Though I guess even angels can fall from grace. Could you be a thief, a murderer perhaps? or are you in this barren place for something else?“

Continuing to stress over where his priorities may lie, a monster of massive proportions continued to shift seamlessly through the sand preparing to strike. Searching for an opening, the creature shot upwards revealing its hideous form. A giant mutated worm had appeared before the Iramasha almost as if it popped out of no where and would easily consume the Iramasha in one bite if it weren't for the intervention of an Arrancar who had destroyed the beast within the same time it had appeared. Her beauty paired with her speed would prove to be a deadly combo, her power had impressed him but not enough to make him stand there and engage in idle chatter or gawk at her very presence. The girl had appeared behind him on his right side and began to inquire about his journey. Apparently her skills of deduction were also noteworthy as she easily recognized him to be an Irasmasha and an Angel Irasmasha at that.
"Well aren't we full of surprises." Shoda said aloud. He had meant to say it in thought but thinking about it now, perhaps telling her the truth would discourage her from following.

Shoda, a man within his prime had no other reason to be out in such a place rather than to deliver righteous justice onto those who've gone unpunished. Most consider it an act of vengeance and would try every cliche within the book to deter him but he could care less answered, " I'm searching for the person who killed my Master. Your presence here might prove to be....troublesome. It would be best if we part ways". Turning around he continued to walk along his path. He wasn't sure what her reaction would be but now he realized that he was becoming far too distracted and his goal was right in front of him. Disappointed by this new found outlook he decided to strengthen his resolve and continue to carry out the task at hand.

Approaching from the horizon a massive cloud of dust and the sound of horses trotting across the sand could be seen heading directly towards Shudo. Upon closer inspection one could make out a gang of creatures that appeared to be humanoid with their bodies on fire and riding spectral horses that ran swifter that any regular horse but appeared to be nothing more than empty shells possessed by their riders. More dangers seemed to appear within the blink of an eye and Shudo knew now that he would have no other choice but to fight. He feared that his powers would prove to do nothing more than complicate such a delicate operation but as of now, it simply cannot be helped.

With a massive surge in Spiritual energy, Shoda's body began to glow vibrantly as more and more of his reiatsu leaked out into the atmosphere. Soon subtle winds became raging typhoons and sand storms began to rage in recognition of his sudden transformation. Soon his body grew brighter and brighter before completely being enveloped in a Pillar of light. Amidst all this, a shout that struck louder than thunder and echoed throughout the hollow skulls of his enemies exclaims "Moeru...tenshi!"

As said, the pillar of light shatters to reveal Shoda now equipped with massive gauntlets, each brimming with so much energy that it threw the massive horde heading towards him in a frenzy as they unknowingly sped towards their demise. Taking in a large breath which seemed as though he was taking in as much air as his lungs could hold, he stretches his arms outwards and pulls them back as far as possible. With another show of raw power as demonstrated before, he claps his hands together, releasing a massive wave of wind that would equal the same ferocity as a snow storm. He then chants the words "Freezing Soul" and a shock wave of blue colored chaos energy erupts, flattening all previous storms caused earlier by his flashy demonstration of power. Such destructive force proved to eradicate a large portion of the horde as they were sent running fear along with whatever creatures that were lurking beneath him.

Deeply exhaling, his reiatsu became a thick layer of mist that wrapped itself around him. Within moments the layer of mist suddenly disappears. Shoda had also disappeared along with the mist leaving nothing but a feint chill within the air.
