Hollow Attack

Erika was sleeping in her hotel room when she heard the ringtone of her cell start ringing and broke her slumber. She let it ring a few times, knowing well that it would keep ringing until she would answer it. She took a few moments to attempt to get up in some way, looking at the clock in her room. It was three in the morning...Why the hell would they call her at that time, she wasn’t usually doing that kind of jobs for her various employers.

“What is it” The young woman said as she picked up the phone and answered the call. She knew that there would only be a few handpicked people who would call her at that time, and she knew that her way of answering was the only thing that those people wanted to hear.

“Always straight to the point with you. That’s what I like to hear Helene. We’re departing at 0600, you already know the target, I want you at the hideout thirty minutes prior to that, we’ll need to move out fast for this one, so stock up on whatever wakes you up, cause we’ll need you at full capacity. Oh and, paycheck’s in double.” The voice on the phone said, Erika knowing who it was, but also knowing the hideout the man was talking about. She smirked at the hearing of one of her many aliases, none of her employers knowing her real name.

The lady went to get some clothing and quickly got dressed, wearing large cargo pants, a black t-shirt and a beige vest, tying her light blue hair before taking the key of her room along with her phone, and going out to go and meet up where the group was preparing their attack.

:The boy moved swiftly in the night. A lot more hollows showed up than expected.
He had atleast a minute rest between each appearing hollow.:

"Dont you know when to give up." :He growled angrily. He through yet another hollow
this night would be a long one indeed.:

:After a half hour the hollows had stopped for now as he stood in the middle of the field.
Panting only a fraction before unsheathing his Zanpakuto he looked up at the sky. At the stars. They were all disappearing very very slowly as day was soon coming.

Erika arrived at her employer’s hideout around five. She was still tired, despite having stopped for an energy drink en route to the small underground home that the man and his group had set up, perhaps the only place that the men there could call home. The lady swiftly went to talk to her employer, Amir. Amir was perhaps the one she liked working for the most, because he cared about every life in his troop, whether they were mercenaries, or part of his gang. Each and every one of his attacks was made planning for everyone’s safety and safe return, never willing to sacrifice someone or expose him to more danger than someone else. Sure, their line of work wasn’t exactly safe, but despite that danger, the leader of the group was always trying his best to keep the threats to his people’s lives at a minimum.

“Helene, it is good to see you again. I take it you already have been told how the attack will go on along with your role in it?” Amir told Erika as soon as he saw her, before going towards her rather than disturbing all of the preparations.

“It is good to see you too Amir. All the details have been dealt with, I only need to get my gear, and prepare so that we can send a strong message today.” She told the man, as she went to the room where her equipment was awaiting her. The terrorist group was always supplying her with fine weapons, but she had never really liked to use those, preferring to use her magic instead. Most of the time she was sent alone, which made her able to use her magic without being noticed. She didn’t want people to know that she had magic powers, very few on that continent knew, and it was better that way. She took her backpack, and attached her gun’s holster to her belt, before checking if her gun was loaded. After that, she went to rejoin the group as they prepared to go. The local army base was their target today, they already had someone close to there monitoring the whole situation, waiting for them to arrive so that he could join them and help the group on its raid.

:Kenji jumped up to a lamp-post nearer to the town the second it had come on. All hollows were now gone. Giving Kenji some rest as he noticed a few lights on near-by houses turning on. Seemed like today was going to be a peaceful one. Atleast that what he had thought.

The sun soon rose above the horizon. Showing Kenji's Raven-Black hair. Squinting his eyes from the light before jumping down from the pole. He hadn't been a great fan of morning light. Although he did love the sun, just not in the morning. He went over to some shade with a yawn slightly tired from last night's fight with the hollows.

Perhaps, he could look around the shops today. For once, he wanted one day without anything happening. Maybe, that day was today?:

As soon as the group departed, Erika joined them, and went according to plan, taking her place in the group, preparing to go assault the army base. She had a few ideas in her mind on how she would proceed, although she was partnered up, which wasn’t her exact idea of a good working context. She always preferred to do things on her own, as she felt that being partnered up was a hindrance. She looked at Amir as the group started running, with a glare that was saying exactly what she thought : “Why the hell are you making me carry someone along”

“That’s why paycheck is double” Amir replied at the glance, as the group left the base. He knew that she strongly disliked that, although he didn’t have much choice. Sending her alone was too much of a risk on this mission, especially with the swift escape that would be required so that everyone would live on.

A few minutes passed as the group finally got near the base, using an old underground tunnel network to manage to keep a certain secrecy, because a firefight in the morning wasn’t exactly their idea of stealth. Amir looked at the girl once more, and she ditched the group there, setting up a bomb before getting back to the surface, being around a hundred meters from the base, the bomb easily impacting the foundations of the building. When the human girl got to surface, she went back to try and take shelter, detonating the bomb, creating a loud, and wide blast near the front gate of the army base.

:Kenji had had a few more silent moment of rest, almost falling asleep before hearing a explosion off in the distance.

His eyes immediatly snapped open at the sound. His green eyes scouting the area. He clenched his fists once. Seems like this day wouldn't be quiet like he had hoped. He reached for the hilt of his Zanpakuto before freezing.

Instead, he began running over to the area quickly.

Sweat falling from his face from attemption of catching his breath.:

"What...the heck! What the hell is going on!"

:He mumbled under his breath before arriving at the area although keeping his distance as he hid behind a tree. A few feet away from the sit as he poked his head around the tree wondering what was going on.

Smoke was left from the explosion which began clearing little by little:

As soon as Erika managed to take shelter, she started to try and look around, hoping to notice the damage that she would cause, but also try and spot any kind of person that would try and bring some kind of help with that situation. Above all, her getting out of there unnoticed was the priority, and delaying the assistance and first aid was just an extra. The only person she saw as she was about to leave was a man wearing black robes with a strange sword attached to his belt.

“In what universe do people still use swords...Too bad I need to jet, I would definitely enjoy reminding him that this isn’t feudal Japan, but Saudi Arabia...” She thought, as she threw her gun and some of her gear away, making sure she wasn’t spotted by anyone, leaving any kind of evidence behind, only keeping a gun concealed in her jacket, as she started dashing away from the scene, as four other loud explosions could be heard.

:Not noticing the person had seen him he looked to see what was happening. Once he heard the persongetting away henjumped out from behind the tree. Noticing the gun on the ground the boy ran out from the tree. Observing it as he picked the equipment up. Hearing more explosions before noticing the person was getting away.

"H-Hey you! Stop right there!" :He yelled. What the heck wad happening:

"..." : as he placed the gun in his free pocket he knew he couldn't let this person get away so easily. Unsheathing his sword before flashstepping over to try and catch the person up:

:He gripped hard on the hilt of the Zanpakuto growling slightly:

Erika didn’t bother turning around when the man called at her. She knew she had left a weapon behind, which would most likely made her suspicious, but if the man after her would get near her and try anything, she’d make sure not to miss when she would put a cap in his head. The girl had no reason not to, she had been attacked more than once in those streets, and she didn’t go out of her way to reply with force and reply most men that touching her was much more than unallowed, much like a crime worthy of capital punishment.

“Damn you guys...Amir, just get here and shot that guy’s head off so I can use that time to run away unseen..” She thought as she accelerated, putting a hand near the second gun, the one that was hidden by her jacket, making sure that she wasn’t walking too fast so that she could keep it hidden, wanting to avoid a panic, although it would give her a good opportunity to escape and get away safely. She had this talent to lose pretty much any assailant in crowds.
