The Lost Boy, The Hollow, And The Courier [Request]

Step after step, Saisei's body carried itself forward without hesitation, sweat pouring from his very core as he huffed and puffed his way through the construction site. Pictures of Hollows of this size didn't do them any type of justice. The size of such a grand Hollow was unimaginable, being easily compared to the height and width of a small apartment building. Surely such beings could only exist in small handfuls, right? A sharp turn sent the young boy flying forward once more, climbing the steep slate of concrete that stood before him. He was clearly in over his head, both he and Steiner. Could two mediocre humans really take down such a formidable foe? Shoving his teenage fist through the thick skin of the Rhinoceros Hollow prior to the Building's arrival, how could he do such a thing now?

It didn't matter at the end of the die, obviously. No man left behind, no one left for dead, many different phrases and sayings could fit the extreme idea flopping about within Saisei's mind. Steiner was surely left for dead on his own out in the Construction Complex. Without Saisei, whether or not they can truly damage the foe, the man was sure to die. The same could easily be said of Saisei himself, he knew that death awaits anyone who wished to face the Hollow without taking it seriously. Nevertheless, the pink haired boy swallowed his fear with all the might he had, coming to a complete halt on the thick slab of concrete beneath him. A quick huff force his chest outward as he mimicked a very awkward looking statue.

"Alright, here we go. You can do this Saisei, just take a deep breath. Nothing will go wrong, everything will work out just fine. Right? Right." A quick pep talk and he was already rushing off once more. The thick slab of concrete he had previously climbed was far from the only bit of concrete around him. From the looks of it, the boy had found himself within one of the large structures that was suited demolition by those currently building in the complex's vicinity. Steiner and Saisei seemed to be in for at least a tiny bit of good luck, the 15 storied parking garage was clearly going to give the boy and man some type of advantage against the large Hollow. Clambering his way up towards the top platform was no easy task. Of course, the boy had little choice. Continuing his trek, Saisei eventually found himself awkwardly limping forward into the harsh wind and heat of the thick desert.

Saisei flung himself towards the edge of the parking garage top platform, taking a long glance towards the sky above as drew breath after breath in order to both mentally and physically prepare him for what came next. A quick glance towards the ground below showed a bracing Steiner, the large creature before him sending a quick smack against the man's body as he took the brunt of the force head on. Surviving such a blow was insanity, the now injured man shuffling around before screaming to the heavens above. God damn, Steiner. How unsafe did you want to be to yourself? The clear attempt to anger the creature seemed to work just fine as well, a quick and swift kick made contact with his figure before sending him flying. Moments later, his limp body came into contact with his company's van. Scrambling, Saisei's mind completely shut down as he shook with both fear and adrenaline. Turning away from the injured Steiner, the boy took one step after another as he tapped his hands awkwardly together in front of him. His steps eventually led him to the building's edge, only prompting a quick turn towards the building of a Hollow.

A single breath escaped Saisei's lips as he sighed, dropping his hands to his sides once more before speaking aloud. "Alright, here's how it's gonna go. You're going to jump. Really high. After jumping, you're going to punch him. Really hard. Really, really, really hard. That simple. Nothin' to it, Saisei. One single punch, it's gotta work right? Right. Alright let's do this." The outer monologue quickly came to an end, sending a shockwave of energy through Saisei's body as he jolted forward. Breaking out into a brisk sprint, the boy only continued to speed up as finally reached the steep fall that was the side of the parking garage.

Finally, there was no more turning back. Saisei found himself quickly rocketing through the air, arms out stretched to prepare himself to brace for impact against the Hollow. Watching as it slowly pulled his right arm towards the Sky, Saisei saw his opening. It was all or nothing as the boy reared his own right arm back as far as the socket would allow for, a surge of Chi energy beginning to build up in high amounts at the very tip of each and every knuckle of his right hand. Coming towards the outstretched arm of the monstrous being, its slow movements began to alter, a quick change in energy allowing for its hand to abruptly reach forward towards the boy. In an attempt to free himself from what was surely impending doom, Saisei extended his own hand forward as well, making contact with the palm of the Hollow.

'Nice one, jack ass.' The hot headed girl from before seemed to hover before his very eyes, the world around him quickly coming to a slow as she spoke. She didn't have much to say, given the angry scowl on her face alongside the sky behind her. Saisei seemed to quite easily escape the Hollow's grasp. Though, oddly enough, the world's slowed speed clearly defined the lackluster hole that pierced the palm of said Hollow. In return for his valiant efforts he was given a reward, if you could call it that. A tiny glance to his right revealed a skinless right arm and extended bones shooting from his Knuckles. Not exactly the prettiest sight, but what was he to expect? As soon as the sight of his mangled arm came into view, the boy's world quickly crumbled apart. The speed once again returned as he was rocketed towards the thick sand below, making a sickening amount of crackles upon impact with the sand.

'Guess that didn't go how you planned for it to, huh?' Once again, the scowling girl stood over the mangled boy before releasing a deep sigh, the boy's vision quickly fading to black before could make it meaningful comment. Just like that, Steiner and Saisei were both in a poor state of mind and body. Most likely, really, they'd both have a sweet embrace of death soon enough. The Hollow roared in excitement as the human's spent their time barely clinging to the world around them. Was it truly over? It seemed so. If anything were to keep them from death now, well... it would surely be some form of miracle.
