Suicide Mission - Important Event!

It was a peaceful day in Seireitei. It was almost noon, and nothing special had happened. It was, in general. an ordinary day. The bright sun shone down upon the white stone and intricate buildings of Seireitei. In the outer areas, a younger shinigami was walking down one of the many pathways. He had brown hair cut into a flat top and was fairly tall, with a very buff build. Clearly an eleventh squad member. "Hmph. I should be doing something instead of wandering around this dump." he spat, bored and frustrated. He sat down, and continued grumbling about the lack of things to do, setting his standard katana zanpakuto down beside him. "The problem is, no one is brave enough to face me! Hahaha! They're afraid to give me REAL work...." he continued on, suddenly behaving more theatrically as he flattered himself. But then there was an odd sound. Like something falling.... something big. Very big.

A huge, black oval could be seen in the sky. Some kind of hard, black, crystalline vessel. It pierced right through Seireitei's barriers, and slammed right into the 11th squad shinigami, killing him instantly and stabbing itself into the ground. It was huge, at least fifty feet tall and ten feet thick in all directions. It opened up nine doorways, in which dozens of urbazek Tenebrae bursted out. they looked vaguely humanoid yet, with long, narrow heads without noses. Resembling lizards in their shape almost. Their skin was thick, and black, like a mass of dark crystals. All of them had tails and black crystal horns, lots of horns. They crawled about, hissing as they moved back and forth, their red eyes shining brightly as they waited outside the large craft in which they had arrived. This was a Medzkak. A crude means of transportation, it was filled with Tenebrae and fired from a cannon into another dimension as a siege weapon. After landing, the Tenebrae exited the craft and began attacking. Three special Tenebrae exited, each more humanoid. One looked like a human, but very tall and skinny, wearing black robes. He looked like a shadow, with no details in his face. A groan came from his indescribable mouth, and his back was bent. No doubt an injury from the landing.

The tall, strange creature snapped itself back into proper posture, giving off a pleasured goan of relief. Two more exited. One was an eight foot tall red skeleton who wore a torn black robe. It had no body parts beneath its rib cage and simply floated, but had broad shoulders, and carried a huge axe Messor. The last to exit was clearly a Shalk'thour, dressed in an ornate garb of purple and black silks, wearing many necklaces, bracelets, and rings of a reddish-gold substance. In much of the jewelery were many kinds of gemstones. His nails were long and blunt however, and his skin was ugly and wrinkled. His face looked like a torn up chunk of granite, mostly covered by a huge gray beard and mustache. He looked extremely old, and his eyes looked closed. His face was smothered in wrinkles and years. However, in the middle of his forehead, a third eye opened, sideways. The whites of the eye had a greenish tint, and the iris was orange. The pupil was black and slitted. He was about seven feet tall, and although he looked fat and old, he was also very large and had broad shoulders. "Gerdock." The old Tenebrae spoke, looking at the floating red skeleton. "Take half the Urbazek and go through the surrounding area, within one hundred feet. Kill any shinigami within that radius and protect me." He ordered.

Gerdock, the red skeleton, bowed his head and accepted the order. "Yes, Duke Arthul." The skeleton replied, in a static echo of a voice. The sound was deep and inhuman, and barely sounded comprehensible as it escaped his warped maw. He uttered a strange sound of some odd language, and half the urbazek creatures rushed to him, and followed him as he left. The sounds of battle and the cries of low level shinigami were heart. "Deepshade, you will take these bombs to the base of the tower. Plant them at the base of Seireitei, all around. Then place the biggest bomb inside. Leave, and then detonate them. This will cause their mighty tower to fall, and kill many shinigami... but if you must choose between the mission and your life, choose the mission. We came knowing that one day, we may all have to die for our ruler. Now go!" Arthul shouted as he tossed a large, filled black sack at the tall shadow Tenebrae that had exited with Gerdock. The tall figure caught it very quickly, and nodded instead of making a sound. This one was clearly Deepshade. The remaining half of the Urbazek left with Deepshade, towards the core of Seireitei. Arthul went back inside the craft and removed from it a fine golden chair. Picking it up with surprising ease, he slammed the heavy throne into the ground after exiting the craft, breaking through the stone. Slowly he sat, alone, waiting patiently as his third eye closed again....


----------

Tenebrae Info

Arthul: The Duke of Bloodied Sand. An old and powerful Shalk'thour Tenebrae sent by Divus on a mission to cause destruction in Soul Society.

Tier: 0-4

Abilities: High Speed Regeneration, Telekinesis, Barriers, Enhanced Strength. Capable of firing bursts of telekinetic bursts in concentrated beams out of eyes in his palms, very powerful beams that can punch through steel. Enhanced speed. Flash step (Equals shunpo.)

Weaknesses: Severely weak against lightning.

Transformation: ??? (Secret. Will be revealed later.)

Special Abilities:

Poisoned Energy - Arthul learned this power from King Divus himself. With it, it makes his energy, in his powers or in himself, extremely toxic to anyone absorbing it or trying to use it. So a null or quincy absorbing or trying to use his power would quickly fall over and die after just a small amount of absorption.

Ironhide -

For two posts, Arthul can turn his skin into a super thick, super hard layer of black steel. In this state he can block powerful attacks and sharp weapons with his bare hands, and can withstand extreme temperatures of fire and ice. This however negates his enhanced speed and he cannot use Shunpo when using Ironhide. After two posts his skin returns to normal. This ability can only be used once every eight posts.

Regeneration Master -

Arthul can regenerate his brain and heart in mere seconds. However, each large feat of regeneration costs him reiatsu, so injuries build up over time.

The Killer -

Arthul's mouth is filled with rows and rows of sharp teeth, filled with a deadly venom. When his mouth opens, a venomous gas pours out, and a bite from Arthul will inject a deadly poison into an enemy that makes their tissue rot and fall off. Quickly.

Watcher

Arthul can see whats in front of him without eyes, and see in separate locations. Wherever there is a Tenebrae, Arthul can see. Arthul can also see out of his third eye. His third eye's sight can see in complete darkness, and see through illusions, smog, and smoke. It regenerates if damaged or destroyed.

Reward for killing: 150,000 Yen

Items

Detonation device for the bombs

Grenades and more bombs, as well as more detonation devices


Gerdock: A Demon Tenebrae of well known talent. Known for tremendous brute strength, Gerdock has long served Arthul.

Tier 1-2

Abilities: Extreme Brute Strength (A LOT), superior ability to float and levitate even in seireitei, advanced regeneration. His skeleton is made of a steel like substance, and is extremely difficult to damage. Capable of flash step. (Equals shunpo.) Very good at sensing reiatsu and life.

Weaknesses: Ice and very fast opponents. Even though his body is hard and fleshless, he takes damage each time he is hit. Just a much more reduced amount.

Special abilities:

Torch Blaze Once every ten posts, Gerdock can fire a huge pillar of flame from his mouth. This is a very powerful attack, capable of melting stone into a molten liquid.

Taw'Lempash At the price of using a lot of stamina, Gerdock can empower a single punch or swing of his weapon with tremendous force. He fills his weapon or fist with pure rage and anger, and then attacks, to use this ability. It greatly increases the impact of the attack. This can easily break through barriers or metal. Can only be used once every three posts.

Tremendous Life force While this doesn't make Gerdock stronger reiatsu wise, Gerdock has a tremendous sum of reiatsu and life force, and can wield his Messor for a very long time without dying or even feeling drained.

Super Nova At the price of his life, Gerdock can create a huge explosion of kinetic force and flames... but nothing will remain of him, except his Messor.

Messor:

Name: Sanderbash

Appearance: A very large, vaguely scythe-like axe with a twisted fleshy handle and a large blade filled with sharp teeth like structures. The upper part of the blade closer to the handel has a large, functional eye in it that watches enemies.

Personality: Sanderbash is a simple Messor. It works like this: "Smash, don't think!"

Level: 5

Abilities:

Kouz-Na'al-Lenkush Val'tearr: This power enables its wielder to move Sanderbash with his mind alone. Its like a powerful form of telekinesis. It can move with huge amounts of force too, though not quite as much as if it were swung by hand. This enables the user to throw the weapon hard and guide it to targets with lethal accuracy. When making the weapon move with this ability, its covered in hot black flame that burns anyone that touches it except the wielder.

Rehn'kahl Au Lenkuh: In a younger Tenebrae language, the name of this ability means 'Strength of the bull'. Anyone wielding Sanderbash finds that their own raw strength is greatly increased, and they hit much harder. (Triples their strength)

Reward for killing: 40,000 Yen and Gerdock's Messor, Sanderbash. Unlike most Messorae, A shinigami can wield Sanderbash.


Deepshade: A highly evolved Darnjaal Tenebrae. A skilled assassin feared for his destructive and often lethal abilities.

Tier: 2-1

Abilities: Immune to illusions. Can turn invisible for three posts. Cooldown for invisibility is ten posts. Very fast, highly enhanced speed and dexterity. Extremely agile. Skilled at dodging. Neurotoxin Poison claws (Reduces your control of your body wherever he slashes), high speed regeneration (Cannot regenerate brain or heart). Very fast flash step. (Surpasses Shunpo)

Weakness: Fire, geting hit. He is frail.

Special Abilities

Hard Poisoned Energy - Arthul taught Gerdock how to make his own energy toxic, and with practice, he did so successfully. With it, it makes Gerdock's energy, in his powers or in himself, extremely toxic to anyone absorbing it. Anyone absorbing it or trying to use it, such as a null or quincy, will be poisoned but more so will temporarily (three posts) lose their ability to absorb energy.

Sonic Screech Deepshade can make a deafening screech that temporarily deafens those who hear it. Its a reiatsu based attack that effects all those who aren't Tenebrae. Deaf effect lasts one post, causes disorientation and lack of balance. Has a cooldown of four posts.

Sonic Blast Deepshade can make a powerful scream that causes powerful destruction in front of him. He fires out a wave of sonic blasts from his mouth, capable of crushing stone, bones, and bending steel. Can only be used once every three posts.

Red Toxic spear Deepshade can produce a long, red spear that looks like a shadow, except red. If an enemy is stabbed with this, it rushes into their body and turns into a liquid. This poison destroys muscle tissue, and weakens skeletal as well as cardiac muscle. Getting hit three times with this will stop your heart.

Blue Toxic Spear Deepshade can produce a blue spear from nothing, like the red toxic spear. If an enemy is stabbed with this spear, it turns into a heavy blue smoke and rushes into their lungs. This gas is a powerful neurotoxin and kills nerves, and through the lungs spreads through the victim's body. Getting hit more than twice with this causes you to risk death. Once will make it very hard to breathe.

Super sharp senses Deepshade has extremely acute hearing and sight, and can see in complete darkness. He can also see through walls and smoke, and can see life force itself.

Dim'Mak Deepshade's greatest attack. By focusing much of his energy in his palm and striking an enemy with his palm as hard as he can, he can let out a powerful sonic blast accompanied by a burst of powerful kinetic force. If successful aimed this will destroy a person's inards and tear their heart apart into tiny shreds without breaking their skin. Doesn't work on the brain or eyes or ears. Even if one survives, their life span is guaranteed to be greatly shortened. Usable only once per thread, hurts deepshade's hand and makes him tired until he can rest and regenerate his broken hand bones.

Poisoned Energy - Arthul taught this power to Deepshade as well as Gerdock. With it, it makes Deepshade's energy, in his powers or in himself, extremely toxic to anyone absorbing it. So a null or quincy absorbing his power/energy or trying to use it would fall over and die after a somewhat large amount of absorption. Absorbing Deepshade's causes temporary paralysis (three posts).

Reward for killing: 75,000 Yen


Urbazek: Standard tenebrae soldiers. Big ones are tier 3-3, normal ones are tier 4-1. Small ones are 4-3.

He opened a Gargantua, knowing the shinigami would scenes him fast, he came out invisible as he sonido'ed to a high vantage point, after exiting. He watched the crystal, he also watched the army's travel, he noticed the quick moving shadow. He watched it closely, he liked the way it moved graceful almost. He soon sonido'ed near the army, and let himself fall in line behind them a bit. Killing off any stragglers quickly and silently with a gail a fatal blow to the spine then throat. He made his way towards the dense army though and activated his invisibility as he ran past the army towards the leader.

[Captain of the 7th Squad, Kokoro Kiseki]


[listen to the song while reading the post.]

'Alert. Alert. The shield around Seireitei has been breached. Alert. Alert.'
Again and again, the loud alarm sounded in the whole of Seireitei, as something huge broke straight through the shield around the home of the Shinigami. Someone dared to do what nobody had done in over 400 years - attacking the Gotei 13 directly with such a crude manner. Well, it didn't matter much for the black haired Shinigami who was rushing towards the impact side. Jumping across roofs and buildings, she was not able to float here, thanks to the Sekiseki stones around Seireitei. Still, flash steps where possible, so she moved in a rapid manner towards her goal.

Not too far away, screams where heard. A wall crashed down, and a magnitude of Shinigami was flying through the air - seeing as they also couldn't float here, not out of free will, for sure. A horde of small, disformed creatures seemingly spawned from the hole in one of the walls of Seireitei, trying to get to their injured prey, as something blocked their way. Multiple other Shinigami jumped into the front row, hacking away with their Zanpakutos.
"Get away from here! GO!" One of the fighters called out. All four of these brave men where in the 11th Squad, the Squad of fighters. The others tried to get up, and then ran like the wind, with some injured following slowly. As the four 11th Squad Members where just about to overpower the weak minions, a huge, axe-like object came flying through the hole. With a pain-filled scream, one of the men was impaled by the weapon, flung upwards, flying of the weapon, before it followed and severed him into bits.
"MONSTER!" With a scream, trying to avenge his dead friend, one of the other Shinigami jumped sraight into the hole. An even louder scream, a terrible noise... and the head of the Shinigami came flying out of the hole. With the bloody spine still attached to it, the rest of the body missing. As the remaining two 11th Division members backed away, the source of this evil came through the hole.
A huge, floating skelettal being, which let out an evil laugh. Grabbing his flying weapon again, he focused his view on the Shinigami. Through a command in an unhearable language, the small monster-lizards fell upon one of the Shinigami, tearing him to shreds. The last one turned tail and tried his luck in running like the wind. Sadly, Gerdock did not plan on leaving any survivors. He followed, floating above the ground, and grabbed the running man on his head. Slamming this head against the ground again and again, soon, only a fine paste was left of it.

Though, this should not remain the only scream. The shrieks of the small lizard-like monsters where suddenly heard, as a blue-white blade severed through multiple of them with one swing. Amongst the monsters, a Shinigami had appeared. But not a normal one. Focusing the dead Shinigami and the monsters with cold eyes, she raised her blade again - an extremely long weapon, but still, she was holding the 5 feet long blade with only one hand. Over the black Kimono that all Shinigami where wearing, a white piece of cloth was flickering in the wind. A Haori. With the insignia of the 7th Squad.
"I won't forgive you." She simply stated - as one of the monsters tried to get her from behind, she quickly turned around, swinging her long katana, cutting through flesh like nothing. The air in the area started to cool down considerably, as the ice blade was flashing each time it cut through an enemy for a short time, as if a light was hitting it. But actually, this was the Reishi emmitted from the blade, enhancing it's strength even further.
This Shinigami who looked like some young girl was noone other than Kokoro Kiseki, one of the first 'mass-produced' artificial Shinigami, and one of the strongest of them. Having blood like ice water in her veins, she quickly dispatched almost all of the minions with skillful, but wild blows. As one of the claws from one of the monsters was drawing near, she trusted her left hand forward - the fist broke the blade, and with strength clearly surpassing that of a normal Shinigami, she smashed the being called Urbazek back into it's fellow ones that where still left. Not even a scratch was left on her fist, so extremely high was her Reiatsu compared to this little demon.

"everybody get to your positions, were being attacked by a lot of bastards" The barracks of squad thirteen were in an uproar. Everyone was running back and forth grabbing their weapons and building fortifications to keep anything from running too far into the Seireitei. The captain of this squad stood among them all and pointing in directions to get everyone in the right place. This man was known as Rola, sometimes called Michael. His pitch black afro stood stiff on his head and his green coat sat over his garbs and haori.

As Rola walked over to the door to the barracks, he noticed the sound of screaming and shouts were getting slightly dimmer. People were dying out there and those screams were becoming less and less frequent. This made him anxious. Looking at the gate that held a wall to surround the barracks, Rola noticed something quickly pass by. It was a dark figure but moved to quickly to be properly described.

"er...you four, follow me. I think I just saw something." Then he cupped his hands and shouted over the rest of the squad. "You all stay here and make sure nothing gets past the barracks. If they do, they will be very close to the important buildings" Everyone stopped and saluted their captain before he ran out of the building with a few Shinigami following him. these four were his favourite picks mainly because they had weapons like his. Long ranged and good for sniping.

As he left the gate, they all ran up a set of steps to appear above a large wall. Looking around, Rola spotted the figure he noticed earlier. Her was very thin but stood rather tall with a sack slumped over his back. He was not somebody he had ever seen before and must be with those attacking the place. "Men, arm your weapons" They all took out their swords that quickly changed into strange bows and guns. They all then lay down for cover and aimed at this dark figure. "three....two...one...FIRE" Bullets slammed into the ground at the creatures feet, aiming to startle and possibly make it fall. "don't hit it just yet, we need to see if its even hostile"

Gerdock looked at the captain, smiling. But he worried for Deepshade. Through telepathy, they held a silent conversation. 'Duke Arthul, there are.... some complications. We cannot set the bombs if we are under assault by captains." Gerdock spoke, to his leader via the hive mind telepathy. 'Understood, Gerdock. Tell Deepshade to drop the sack and regroup with you. I will watch.' Arthul replied, through the same method as Gerdock. 'At once, Duke Arthul. Deepshade, come to me!' Gerdock replied, calling to deepshade as well as responding to Duke Arthul. Gerdock readied his axe, adjusting his arm and spinning it quickly. "Ah, a vengeful shinigami girl. Or hunk of scrap metal, as I should say. I'll tear your artificial ass up; before my buddy gets here. He needs a mat to wipe his feet off on after all...." Gerdock taunted, looking down upon the feeble Shinigami from his enormous height of eight feet. He began to move towards Kokoro, but a half dead shinigami 11th squad member leapt up and charged at him with his sword. "Captain, run!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. Blood was all over him already, from a head wound and his dead friends. Just as he raised his sword however, Gerdock bit his wrists as his hands came together with his sharp teeth, and severed the shinigami's Tendons. His zanpakuto fell to the ground as he screamed.

"Dumbass." Gerdock chuckled, before he grabbed the Shinigami by the side of the head and lifted him up. With a single hard motion, he slammed the shinigami's head into the wall and busted it open like a watermellon. Brains and blood splattered everywhere, probably on Kokoro too. Tossing the lifeless corpse aside, Gerdock hurled his axe into the air. It ceased when it was high up and began to spin extremely rapidly, and burst into black flames. "Kill her!" Gerdock commanded, and the axe swung itself towards Kokoro with tremendous force in response. However, as it did, it let out a strange scream. A screeching, deep echo sound, very unpleasant to hear. But it clearly said 'Murder'. As it swung down towards the Shinigami, Gerdock prepared his Torch Blaze attack, breathing in deeply despite having no lungs as he floated a little closer.

---

Deepshade had quietly followed his command, up until the point he heard Gerdock order him to regroup. Sensing his location Deepshade planned a route, when he head gunshots behind him. Bad move; he was suddenly quite pissed. Deepshade slowly turned around, and dropped the sack. The orders had changed. The tall black shadow creature opened its mouth slowly; its white mouth. Filled with nothing but white. No teeth. Just a white abyss. And from it a horrible screech emerged, so loud it would make the soldiers drop their guns and cover their ears while they twisted in pain. With a silent command the urbazek with Deepshade attacked the Shinigami near him, and went for the captain too. Deepshade vanished with a flash step, moving very quickly to find Gerdock. He was already about halfway.

Having fallen behind the army of marching lizard people, he waited for there swift return. For they no doubt would return this route later, but what he found to appear amazed him more, was that the leader, was running. He rushed out quickly while still invisible behind the creature, and let out a quick saying of "GOT CHA!' before he moved quickly and silently to the side of the thing. Then allowing his innate ability to slip his blade out of the illusion long enough to slash out at deepshade. Aiming for the head and feet he allowed the blade to re enter, and for a bala to slip past it as he quickly vanished behind. Knowing that his ability would break soon he fired off a cero and 20 bala's to follow so that the thing couldn't get very far. He soon went to his own fun measures to conseal his pressence of his ressurecion as he released it while being covered by his invisible vail. "Let black wings soar, morrigan." Enhancing his invisiblity for abit longer would soon be worth it along with the power boost given as he launched off a final cero at the things head.

[Kokoro Kiseki]

"No, don't..." Kokoros words didn't reach the 1tth Division member. Storming forward, the strong enemy literally crushed him. As the blood and brain seemingly flow in slowmotion, the eyes of the new Captain widened. This guy would not go out of here alive. As one drop of blood hit her right cheek, Kokoro used Flash Step to disappear as the huge fire axe came crashing down. Just the right enemy... her cold blade would tear his shit up, but his fire could seriously mess with her own cold body. Not good, not good. Having used Flash Step to pass by the skullmonster, Kokoro was now turning around at high speed, swinging her long blade.
She actually had used her Flash Step to get some distance between them, as well. With a five feet long blade, she would still be able to hit him with her upwards strike from down right to upper left, if he didn't use something like Shunpo himself to dodge. The cut of her blade would be freezing cold and specially enhanced by the ability of her blade to use raw Reiatsu for strength increase, in addition to the massive strength the small looking Captain already had.
He wanted to turn her into scrap metal? Well, there was no metal to be scrapped. She was cybernetic, not robotic. Actually, the best way to describe Kokoro was 'Android', and she was the first one to achieve a Captain position. Hopefully, her Squad would be able to deal with their duty without the Captain holding their hands, since she preffered to face intruders head on.
Following up to her strike, she actually jumped backwards, in order to be ready for counter attacks, raising her blade to block a maybe coming axe strike. Even the flames of said axe could not warm up the cold air circling around Kiseki-Taicho.

Rola grabbed ahold of his ears as the loud screech teared down the atmosphere. He was certainly dangerous and had knocked out all his team just by screaming. When he opened his eyes again and lowered his hands, Rola could see that deepshade had gone but his reitsu was still in an aggressive stance. However, as Rola attempted to make chase, he fell backwards off the gate and hit the ground with a thud.

"aw man.... that hurt" Looking over by turning his head upside down, he spotted something down the long corridors of the seireitei. Something rather big sat in a golden colored chair. He was definitely not from the soul society and the first thing rola did, was take a stance with both of his handguns held outwards.

"he must be the leader of this attack... he certainly looks like hes in power" The clkothing and garments Arthul wore were certainly not the shinigami kind. This made Rola anxious to meet him but somewhat scared as to what kind of power he held.
