The Rouge Element

Leviathan sported the typical shinigami uniform, his zanpakuto attached to his back as he was too short for it to lay on his hip. Nervousness raked his being as he made sure he remembered the details he was given, the details of his first mission as a Gotei member. Luckily enough it wasn’t battling a supremely powerful demon or a horde of hollows, it was just one. A hollow had appeared and taken residence in a Texas swamp and it was Levi’s job to go take care of it before it had gotten out of hand. “I can do this” Levi chanted trying to give himself some kind of courage. After chanting a few more times he stepped through the Senkaimon and headed to his destination.

When coming through on the other side, a big Wiff of foul smells entered his nostrils making him immediately cover his nose. It smelled worse than anything he ever smelled in his life, it felt like his nose was gonna fall off. Leviathan wasn’t here to criticize the smell of the swamp but to find the monster that decided to hide itself within it. The young shinigami closed his eyes and tried to pin point the Reiatsu of the monster, finding it moments later near what seemed to be the reiatsu of a human towards the west of the swamp. “Shit” Leviathan said as he used his Shunpo to speed in the direction of the hollow and human signatures, he knew if he didn’t it was a possible chance the human would die.

Leviathan managed to spot his target not too long afterwards. As he stood only a food five feet away from it he saw that it took the appearance of a giant alligator. As the young Shinigami stared at his target his heart rate began to rise higher and higher. It was his first time in awhile seeing a hollow face to face, it made him replay the events of his parents death over and over again in his head. Could he actually go through with killing the beast? He knew he had too but it was just so terrifying. While lost in his thoughts Leviathan didn’t seem to notice that the hollow had taken notice of his presence, closing the distance between them and attempting to swipe Levi with its huge tail. The shinigami was lucky to have noticed the attack last minute as he quickly activated his blut like ability to potentially block the hollows attack.

However the attack was much stronger than expected, knocking all the air from his breath and sending him flying several meters skipping on the swamp water like a stone. “It’s stronger than I thought” Levi said as he caught his breath and made his way up from the nasty swamp water, noticing the hollow was only a few meters away from him. The short shinigami took his zanpakuto out of its sheath and prepared for battle as the hollow then lunged at him. What happened next was not what he had hoped and it spelled nothing but dread for himself. Something had caught the hollow as it lunged and ripped its head clean off. “What the?!?” Confusion hit Leviathan like a train as the new Reiatsu he felt was so malicious it made him want to scream and run. It was a demon and it’s sights where now set on Levi, could he actually handle it?
