Oh Captain, My Captain. I'm not Okay.

“Captain Kagayaku!”

The Seventh Division member ran into the Captain’s yurk in a hurry, his breaths quick and short telling he had ran the whole way. His tone held urgency in it as he came in interrupting whatever the Captain may have been doing at the time, and after a few moments to catch his breath, he began to speak again barely missing a beat.

“Captain! One of the yurks, it’s been ransacked. Elyss Kishimoto’s missing. No one’s seen her today and all her assignments haven’t been done.”

Elyss? This is extremely uncharacteristic of her to not have her duties done and to disappear like this. What even happened to the Yurk? This situation may require urgent attention, but the soldier understands if he is redirected to either the Lieutenant or anyone else capable of handling this situation. In his time of stress, he immediately came to the highest in command of the Seventh Division to give such startling news to. It seemed wise to go to the Captain about such a random event.

“Yes ma’am. Follow me.”

It was pretty obvious where they would be heading. The last place anyone had seen Elyss was when she had entered her Yurt for the night. So, that is where the Captain is lead. Though, what she’d find isn’t a bland normal Yurt that mimicked the look of every other tent in the area. What she’d see is something more akin to a crime scene. One would immediately think that Elyss was kidnapped rather than abandoning her post in some violent rampage.

Murasaki’s eyes would look upon this scene and know that something isn’t right with Elyss, not at all. As soon as they arrived, there would be that Yurk torn to pieces: the walls have been torn into; slashes made by a sword running through the walls in every direction creating patterns of little coherence, along with those slashes are just plain holes blown through the walls as if someone punched with all their might. Next, is the door that is barely hanging on its hinges threatening to simply fall at any provocation. But, all this simply leads into the building. Inside the plain Yurk, there are simple signs of destruction. Elyss didn’t own much besides a bed and a table, but those two items have been utterly destroyed. The table was beat into splinters littering the floor crunching with each step, and the bed dissected like some dead patient in a morgue split asunder and thrown every which way within the room. Wallpaper ripped and torn to shreds with blood splattered every which way. This is truly a horrific scene of one’s mental state.

“She was last seen coming here at night, but when morning came, one of the men came to check up on her and give her assignments just for them to find nothing but this. There’s no evidence that anyone came and took her or where she could even be Captain. We already have men looking, and a lot of people who she’s helped have volunteered as well.”

The soldier nodded, but he would find no luck in his eventual talk with the Kido Corps and Realm Enforcement. He would also learn that no Senkaimon have been open with Elyss’ particular description involved. That must mean she’s somewhere within Soul Society, but where? Murasaki had the right idea jumping upwards and trying to sense the redhead, but she would sense nothing pertaining to Elyss’ where abouts in the Gotei among all the other signatures about. This was mostly due to Elyss having left a long while before any word of her disappearance was spoken of. Any trail she may have left behind would have started to fade and meld into other signatures out and about until irrelevant. She’s been gone for a while now.

However, by some small grace, there came forth a hell butterfly right to Murasaki’s position. This one wasn’t part of the batch that the soldier had sent out to the patrols as ordered, but the message that came out of it pertained to the situation.

“Captain Kagayaku. Member of Realm Enforcement.” There’s a brief sigh following the rest of the message. “I saw one of your members, Elyss Kishimoto. She was heading out of the 80th district in the Northern parts of the Rukongai into the Outlands. I tried to speak to her, but she simply responded that she was heading out on patrol. She looked… strange. I recognized her from when she had assisted me in a training session. I was not told of any patrols from your particular Division to watch out for on my own patrol, so I figured I should report it just in case. End Report.”

Such an excellent display of quick movement bring Murasaki to where she wished to be, but she would find no such luck in spotting Elyss that easily. Well, of course, the Captain is a woman capable of sensing even faint trails if necessary. However, from her spot, she would sense little of Elyss’ presence in the area. It’s almost as if the redhead had purposely tried to keep her Reiatsu contained just to keep people from tracking her, but with her inexperience with controlling energy, Elyss could only do so much. Murasaki could definitely tell that Elyss had come through this place, but to where out in the vast outlands of Soul Society?

Though, suddenly, there is a spike of energy in a random direction outward, Hollow energy. At least 1 Kilometers out. Only someone as skilled as Murasaki would have been able to sense such that far from the Rukongai. However, with not many trails, one could only hope that the cause of such spike belonged to a certain individual. Though, that hope may quickly be filled with dread. Many know of Inner Hollows and how dangerous Hollow in general could be. Does Murasaki know how troubled Elyss has been lately? Could the redhead have finally succumbed to her inner turmoils? There are so many possibilities and only one way to find out the truth.

Is it alright? Well, the Captain is soon to discover the truth as she took those steps and flashed forward faster than any normal and many subnormal beings could to the scene right where the mass of sickening energy had gathered. Right before her eyes, she’d seen carnage all about: trees uprooted and slashed into leaving some wounded with deep scars and others in pieces, the ground below churned and cratered, and the Reiatsu of Elyss mixing in the air with that of Hollows. Murasaki will see the redhead, but not just her. All around Elyss are Hollows of varying shapes and sizes thrashing and letting out sounds of uncategorizable degrees. And, with a fury never before witnessed by Murasaki, Elyss maimed and slaughtered these unholy beasts with little grace or mercy letting her twin Zanpakuto sing symphonies upon the mass of black and white. The blood splattering here and there, it is Elyss’ for only she is capable of bleeding in this massive orgy of homicidal intent.

One Hollow tries to bite down on her receiving her sword right between its eyes before it is torn downwards ripping the thing in two as another catches her foot and flings her just for her blades to dance and slice many asunder. Though Elyss' face is hidden from view, her uniform has been torn in many places leaving her right arm bare of any cloth and her left legging torn off as red wisps from her bloodied skin creating this contained heat shimmer around her. However, as she lands, she freezes for a moment before her shoulders start shaking and a sickening gleeful laugh emerges from her throat in a manner that one would find twisted. Enjoyment in this chaos? In this suicidal battle? Truly, something is wrong with one to find this sort of thing fun. Only those insane would hazardously dance with these many beings that wish to eat them. Yet, Elyss gladfully rushes forward towards death bringing her blades up singing the air.
