The Horde Mode is real

Wed May 04, 2016 9:53 pm

Masaru was sitting in the flower fields of the Karakura forest, while he wanted to admire them he didn't really have the time to as three Ganma he had formed earlier were behind him to keep watch. In front of him was an eyecon that had been partially damaged, looking back at the ganma's rather noble decision to block a bullet when he was picking off gillian roaming around the forest. As he focused on it he thought the least he could do is make it stronger. While the process would take some time, he wouldn't really get it. He looked up and saw a large mass of black approach the fields. He took the Eyecon and pocketed it and sighed "Such an annoyance..." he said pulling out his own Eyecon, the black and green object flashed as he pressed the button on its side and it let out its usual phrase Standby, placing it into the Loader the eyecon would call out again Yes sir!. The loader made a beeping sound as Masaru twisted the loader allowing it to stand up on his wrist, pressing the button on the right side of it. Loading... was all the eyecon said as the Necrom Damashii appeared and Masaru pressed the dropper and a droplet of liquid fell onto the eyecon, the Uloader announcing it's activation.

Tengan! Necrom, Mega Uload rock music began to play from the Uloader as it reset it's position and Masaru changed into his Necrom form. As the Damashii attached to him the uloader had one more thing to say CRUSH INVADERS. Pulling back the hood the black mass seemed to draw closer, while it was a mass of low level hollows a large number could prove to be difficult. As the mass sped up Masaru motioned at the horde and the three ganma with him began to fire at the mass as they charged, they wouldn't last long but he could make more, made him wonder why he was set on upgrading the damaged eyecon in the first place, he didn't have time to wonder about that now though. He ordered them to stop and then retreat to a safer distance and keep firing. Pulling his GanGunSaber from the ground he took a deep breath and sighed "Better than nothing", as the horde moved in he was the first to strike as his green reiatsu was channeled to his left leg and as he leaped forward he lifted said leg and then slammed his leg down onto a Hollows head causing it to hit the ground and as Masaru landed the hollow only felt the GangunSabers blade cut into its neck before decapitating the hollow, as the barrage of bullets from the ganma's weapons managed to slow the advance of the mass of hollows, Masaru found himself getting tossed around a bit.

He managed to keep moving though, the hollows he managed to slay along the way all seemed to be Gillian or potentially lower. Switching the GangunSaber to its gun mode made things easier as the few flying hollows swooped in only to be injured or shot down completely. A large black arm slammed into Masaru sending him flying away from the horde. He grunted and managed to land on his feet but stumbled back a moment, using his technokinesis to re-arrange parts of his weapon to enable the gunmodes rapid fire seemed like a good idea. As he fired at the hollows the bullet spread meant that while not destroying them by the hundreds he'd start to weaken a few at least. Though he was getting a bit low on energy and took a deep breath and ran forward again, switching the weapon back to blade mode and lunging into the crowd of hollows again, not keen on giving up. Though that didn't mean he could handle them all.

After an hour he was knocked on his back and exhausted, the hollows closed in and his Ganma were fighting off a swarm of hollows that managed to surround him. He blocked a bite attempting to finish him off, he held it back the best he could though he couldn't do so for too long.

Miles away Pierre could feel a strong disturbance in the forest of Karakura. There was a horde of hollows in the fields within the forest, that indeed was strange. A few months ago the forest was completely cleared of hollows. It seems that the cracks where they came from werent properly sealed. He was at the park, This made it easy for him to get to the forest in a few seconds. Pierre walked into a tree as he became pure energy, traveling through the root systems of the plants until he reached the field were the hollows were attacking.

In front of the man that was on the floor a mass of emerald green energy come up from the flowers. It took a humanoid shape before fully forming into a 7 foot tall man with bright red hair. He looked back at the man on the floor as he said "Looks like you need some help."
He smirked as he looked at the hollows and said "And You all picked the wrong place to try and invade. Hollows make great food for my plants."

As he was saying that the plants on which the hollows stood started to grow. They wrapped over their bodies, holding them in place. Any struggle would be futile, their fate was sealed when Pierre showed up. Slowly the black mass of hollows was turning green. The plants were growing on the hollows. As they did they were absorbing the spirit energy of the hollows and transferring into the ground. In that process the energy was turned into nature energy, locking it into the ground as it was only usable by those that could control it.

It wouldnt be long before the entire horde was subdued.

Death. A good word to describe this scene. This area was filled....with death. And it was glorious. A strange thought to come through the Tor'uks mind, since he was a very silent, quiet, but also very kind person. He had never, in his life felt this way. It was....odd. He never enjoyed killing. He merely did it as a last resort. But this....was different. It felt...right to kill all of these hollows. They had no reason to fight him, so he would put them DOWN. Henrex's sword flashed through the air as the hollow's masks were slashed open, causing the beings to dissolve. How little of a challenge. But, then again, these were Hollows. They only knew how to kill. At least...that's what he was taught. He couldn't know for sure, he wasn't a Hollow.

He slowly made his way to a clearing, which was...filled with Hollows as well. There were no end to these things, were there? He looked closer into the clearing, seeing two people there. Great, more and more to add to the problem. Henrex pulled his scarf tighter around his nose and mouth, clenching his teeth as he now had possibly two problems. Those two people, if they decided to attack, and this seemingly endless wave of hollows. So depressing.....Henrex's mood shifted. It had just been anger, but now...it was simply...melancholy. His heart seemed....void once more. He continued to fight his way through the hollows, but this time, it was more of a slow, unenergized fight. Why was this? The hollows were not moving.

They were....covered in plants...what was...this green? Henrex looked around, seeing that the second person there was responsible. He could feel the distinctive spiritual energy...of an Iramasha. He looked at him with bored, yet sad eyes. Now the fight wasn't any fun....there was no point in killing something that couldn't fight back....Henrex began to walk. He simply...walked towards them, his hands, nose, mouth, and entire midsection hidden.

The only thing the two people in the clearing would see. His eyes. His pure, black, dark eyes. He stopped walking, now directly in front of them. He looked up, his eyes scanning them for any signs of aggression towards him. Nothing. He couldn't feel anything from them. Hm. Henrex turned around, looking behind him as more Hollows began to replace their fallen. This horde was such an annoyance....

As Masaru struggled against the hollow trying to take a bite out of him his ganma opened fire on the hollow causing it to flinch and allowing the boy to cut its head off. As he stood he saw Pierre and nodded to him "Thanks...you have a rather impressive ability". Masaru looked to the plants as they devoured the Hollows and then noticed Henrex, in a burst of speed he seemed to run at Henrex. Easily misunderstood though but as he closed in he leaped over him and flipped only to drop his left foot down onto a hollows head, reiatsu gathering and enforcing his attack causing the hollows head to split down the middle and causing the monster to fade away. The Ganma were starting to fare well as they fought back the horde that gathered around them started to thin.

As the horde died down it seemed all was going to be fine but black seemed to begin seeping through the plants and the ground, gathering and forming into a humanoid shape. An Adjuhas it seemed to be, a rather odd one too as its body was covered in masks of other hollows. Seems like it was only its level due to it being an amalgamation of other hollows. The large dragon like hollow roared as the masks suddenly burst forward forming countless necks, like a hydra.

Masaru looked to their new opponent and sighed "Guess they won't accept dying...such an annoyance...". He stepped forward and as one of the heads lashed out he ducked to the side taking an in boxer stance and sending a few swift and rather bone shattering hard jabs and then brought his right arm back faking a punch and ducking down mid punch and upper cutting the head. it let out a hiss and two more heads lunged at him. Taking a step back from his target as he swapped his stance to a balanced jeet kune do stance stepping from foot to foot before jumping back letting out breath as the heads slammed into each other. Masaru looked back to the other two wondering what they were doing only to have one of the heads slam into him and send him flying a few feet away and landing with a hard thud.

The Ganma opened fire at the hollow by now and while it kept the heads aiming for them at bay it'd eventually become a case of them getting devoured. Masaru coughed a bit and pushed himself up and took in a deep breath.

Pierre nodded to the man that thanked him "Its no problem. Though I thought that this place was cleared off by the vanguard. Its strange to suddenly see all of these hollows come back en-masse" he said finding the situation quite strange.

Pierre was unfazed by the sudden appearance of a shinigami. Well with this many hollows he wondered why only one showed up, considering the area was cleared. Pierre looked back at the plants he created when he felt a disturbance in the energy. It stopped flowing into the earth, and started to flow out of the plants. What was locked into the ground was locked in there, but he was surprised that they managed to escape. He looked at the dark energy piece together as it formed into a large dragon like hollow. That now had countless necks due to all the masks that it had.

Pierre let out a large sigh as he said "Lovely. Things just cant go easily right?" Pierre snapped his fingers as countless vines came out from the ground and wrapped themselves around the hydra's main body. The vines started changing colors as they began to turn into iron. While his powers mostly revolved around plants Pierre also had quite a knack for earth magic, and since the ground was still full of the energy he had managed to suck out from the hollows there was more than enough to spare to infuse his plants with iron. The vines sprouted roots that began to dig into the hydra's body.

He knew that in mythology you had to cut off all the heads at once to kill a hydra. But if you kill it internally, then that would work just as well. That is what he sought to do. Over time the iron roots would dig deeper and deeper into its body, eventually they would cut the beast open. But that would take some time.

Henrex saw the man racing towards him, and slowly moved his sword up into a guarding position. But, he had misunderstood. The man had leaped over him to attack a Hollow behind him with a powerful energy enhanced kick. Henrex had sensed the Hollow before, but was more concerned about the man who was flying towards him. His revealed eye narrowed, before his turned around. A hydra Hollow? Interesting. Henrex slowly lifted his sword, which pointed to the left. He then would slowly place one foot in front of him. He would then leap forward. In mythology, a hydra could only die if you would be able to burn the stumps of the severed heads. However, if you would destroy their insides, this would work just as well.

Perhaps it would work. He slowly pointed his sword at the hollow's chest, as he did, a black energy would seep to the tip of the blade, forming a sphere at the end of the blade. This energy would then fire off, zooming towards that hollow, which, if it hit and pierced the hollow, would pierce the hydra hollow's heart....if it had one. He knew it didn't. Hollows were heartless. Henrex would then slash to his right, towards a Hollow that was charging towards him, and a wave of shadows would fly from the blade. This wave of spiritual energy that formed into a black wave would cut through the Hollow's mask and body, effectively cutting it in half.

This Hollow would dissolve, and Henrex would sheath his sword, before he slowly would start to walk forward. He then would use one hand to cast this Kido spell. A white and blue sphere would appear in Henrex's hand, which would emit a sort of cold aura. That was because of the spell being an ice attack. Henrex would lower the power of the Kido spell, but to cast this level 9 Kido without an incantation, making it much faster. He would throw this sphere of ice, which would explode into twelve ice needles upon contact with the ground.

These twelve needles would pierce the masks of the Hollows around him, Pierre, and Masaru. As this happened, Henrex would disappear, using a flash step, and the reappear high above the air, falling. He would slowly draw his sword from the sheath, before landing on the body of another hollow. The sword would enter the Hollow's back, and Henrex would try something new with his skill, Piercing Shadows.

As the black energy would converse from the base of the blade, instead of shooting the blast in a single direction, he would direct the blast of spiritual energy in all directions where the tip of the blade was pointed. In this case: downward, left, right, and all diagonal directions. However, this would sacrifice the range of the technique. Well, time to test it. Henrex closed his eyes and focused his energy onto spreading out the blast. It worked. This blast would then pierce multiple parts of the Hollow's body, including it's mask. The Hollow would groan and quietly roar before it would dissolve. Henrex then flicked his sword to the right, before returning it to his side. His eye would turn towards the two men, before the rest of his body would turn to face them.

This horde didn't seem to be at an end....

The heads seemed to be endless the heads that were merely cut off at the neck turned to a goo and reformed with the main body. As the roots began to dig into it the body of the hollow seemed to be trying to absorb it as soon the roots turned to metal. The metal slowly melting away and being absorbed, as the metal was being assimilated into the hollow small pieces of plating began to form. Masaru wasn't good with weapons but he had to be now, he swung his blade at the heads that swiftly came at him, the chances of him giving up were slim, the ganma wouldn't do so...unless he ordered them to do so, but they were mindless upon creation any way so he thought their chances of living through this weren't very high. But with a single hand motion the Ganma began to retreat, better to keep them alive as he needed to ensure as many of them were alive as possible.

As the heads became unable to reach the troops, they then turned to Masaru with hungry eyes. They began to slam into him repeatedly. He took the barrage mainly due to having no choice in doing so at the moment. He reached for his blade, upon grabbing the hilt he began to flow his reiatsu into the ground, a glyph appearing and chains shooting from the ground before wrapping around the heads and pinning them to the ground. After splitting his GanGunSaber into two separate blades he stabbed them into the ground and tilted the uloader again, standing it up and ejecting his eyecon and pulling out the red eyecon. As he put the eyecon into the uloader his blank transient form appeared as Musashi Damashii appeared and as he pressed the eye drop the Uloader shouted its new form.

-TENGAN, MUSASHI, MEGA ULOAD- a japanese lute seemed to play with a single not as the damashii attached itself to him then played a quick tune. -THOUSAND CUTS-. Masarus new form gave him a nice red jacket but more than that. He grabbed his blades and reiatsu formed under his feet as he started to swiftly slash at the masks, the eyecon granted him Musashi's knowledge of blades so as he skated across the battle field he seemed to aim specifically for the eyes. As his blades slashed through the masks the hollows that made up the heads were destroyed, the heads disappearing and weaker ones starting to take their places.

Masaru stopped to think quickly, there had to be a main head, if they could get to it they could destroy it. For now though he just rushed back in driving his blades into the hollows skulls, his skill with blades was improved instantly. He would see this hydra destroyed no matter what at this stage...it was really ugly. But none the less the three of them could handle it...hopefully.

Carp. He made things worse. But how was he supposed to know that this thing would absorb things that went into his body. Stupid assimilation capacity. He waited for the result of the other two combatants to see what would work best to start chopping down this beast.

As he saw the costumed man attack the masks that were on the body, and this caused the heads to go away and come back weaker. This gave Pierre an idea. If they have to find the main head that would always be the strongest head. Thus weakening them all at once would singe out the true culprit.

Pierre concentrated as the trees around the area started to rustle. The leaves on the trees started to glow brightly. They became razor sharp and flew out from the trees into the hydra. Throusands upon thousands of tiny leaf blades tore into the hydra. Slicing its body and mask, hopefully doing enough damage to the masks to cause them to shatter, thus reducing the strength of the heads, and maybe slicing some of them clean off.

(Need to get this thread going again, sorry Henrex)

The leaves would start to decapitate and destroy the heads with the constant barrage. Masaru narrowly avoided some as they barraged into the hollow with ease, the armor plating was protecting the body, the heads were all exposed. Their necks rendered shreds of hollow as the leaves were turning the hydra into a slaughter fest of heads flying. Masaru simply watched and wondered if he could ever learn to do something like that, the many thoughts processing through his head as he figured out how to replicate possibly thousands and thousands of small blades that would slice into his opponents...thoughts for another day as he resumed his assault on the Hydra.

As he cut at the hydras necks he found the leaves were making great cover for him as heads that spotted him would be torn asunder. The puddles of what used to be hollow flesh would seem to be attempting to sliver away from the fight, sinking into the ground eventually. As Masaru swing his blades at the necks, he started to focus on the masks before they could begin to re-attach to the body. As the weaker heads started to sprout and take the barrage of leaves, the heads would all suddenly sink into the body and an energy shield would form over it.

As the shield covered it the leaf blades would seem to take the barrage, a moment of peace as the Hydra defended itself. But there was probably a way they could break through. As the shield remained up, Masaru remained patient for it to drop. The Hollow couldn't keep it up for too long could it?

Henrex has lost interest in this fight, and has flown away, returning to Soul Society.

For reasons I do not wish to elaborate on, I am exiting this thread. Henrex has lost interest in this, and decided to return to the Soul Society, believing that the two people there can handle it.
