A day to remember [Open; Combat; Tier 1 Only, Non Death]

Yokkyu's head was plopped down on the desk inside of his room - the
Captain's Private Chambers of Yokkyu Amai, Head of the Amai Clan. Yokkyu
was in no good mood at this point, he had spent all the daylight hours
with absolutely nothing to do. Nothing. There had been nobody wishing to
train with him that day, nor had there been any fighting amongst any
Division members that Yokkyu had to break up. For the love of god, there
wasn't even any paper work that his Lieutenant could shove down
Yokkyu's throat. The simple fact of the way was: "How unusually boring."
It was nothing else except that, for the sun was just now beginning to
set, leaving a yellowish orange splat towards the horizon, while the sky
a little further away was already beginning to turn a darker blue,
versus the usual clear and bright blue of the sky the sun dominated. "Hmm. Not much longer..."
Yokkyu thought to himself, rising from his chair, and pacing about his
room. He had decided that once the sun gets close enough to setting, he
would simply go to the forest to the far east and begin some training,
for he had been quite... lazy that day. Of course that wasn't exactly
his fault, but he had to compensate for his lack of action for the day.

With
a hesitant sigh, Yokkyu walked towards the luxurious bed that he called
his own, and knelt down, reaching underneath the covers, and pulling
out a magnificent sword. It was his zanpakutou, Okunoheb. Reverently, he
placed her on top of the bed, then walked over to his closer, opening
the sliding doors. The doors opened to reveal a pale mannequin, with
Yokkyu's iron armor and pauldron were located. He reached out to his
armor, grabbed it, unfastened it from the lifeless person, and began
first with the chest piece. He shimmied his way into it, and ensured it
was nice and tight against his chest. He then moved on to his pauldron,
lifting it up and over his shoulder, and strapping and lacing it
properly to ensure the heavy piece would not fall. The next and last
item was the pelt of a wolves tail, which he wrapped around his neck,
and draped down his back. It reached all the way down to the ground, and
often was dragged on the ground unless Yokkyu ran, in which it would
simply trail behind him as if it were parading down just as Yokkyu was;
which of course, it was...

With his armor and clothes where they
should be, and his zanpakutou now in his sash after a trip to the bed,
Yokkyu made his way out of the private quarters, closing the sliding
door behind him. The barracks were unusually calm and quiet, filled with
many other bored Shinigami. However, Yokkyu did note that many were not
even here, probably off in Rukongai Taverns or something of the sort.
It wasn't anything that upset Yokkyu, for the simple fact that there
wasn't anything in particular to have accomplished therefore, any person
was more or less free for the day. This day was a perfect day to
perform your desires... It just so happened that many of those desires
of the day revolved around gluttony or greed, and less personal
satisfaction. That is what did upset Yokkyu. When those were given an
opportunity to better themselves mentally and physically, they chose not
to, they chose to linger around and drink sake and what not. Not Yokkyu
- he would never be caught nothing, for even all throughout the day
Yokkyu had been studying his already well-knowledged art of Koshijutsu.
Despite not doing much he had at least benefited slightly while sitting
around, while others did not. "I must remember that is none of my concern..." Yokkyu thought to himself, reminding himself not to stick his nose too far into others affairs.

He
continued his trip through Squad Eight's barracks, turning at most
areas and ending up in another long corridor. He passed many rooms and
noted the sod of snoring, which pt him a little on the angry side. He
reminded himself once more it was their choice to do such on a free day,
and continued with his walk. Nothing exciting had he passed, for after a
long walk, he finally made it to the main entrance, which also served
as the exit, to Squad Eight's Barracks. The guards tensed at seeing the
Head of the Amai clan, for the Amai were feared throughout Soul Society
for their violent nature... Despite one such as Yokkyu who tried as hard
as he could to be respectful, he couldn't help but play along with it
at some parts. His expression changed from calm to angry when the guards
simply looked at him once and looked away, then back once more. Is there something you have to say?
Yokkyu angrily pressed, although it was nothing but a simple facade.
The stunned guard stammered, inhaled and exhaled really loudly at the
sight of the glare of Yokkyu. If looks were daggers, this one could
surely be down the the count. Yes, well, um, no, Captain Amai.
he manage to say, before reverently stepping to the side to allow
Yokkyu to pass out of the barracks and out into the Seireitei. Yokkyu's
scowl and annoyed nod showed the guard that he meant business, and
Yokkyu ended it all simply by storming past the guard and into the
courtyard of Squad Eight's Barracks. He continued out, and to the Senkaimon, and passed through, entering the World of the Living in jut a few moments.

Yokkyu noted to himself that
in the short time it took for him to exit the barracks and make it to Karakura Town. The sun had
left the sky, replacing the bright beautiful colors with an even more
beautiful shade of dark blue, with several small stars already shining.
The night air was cool, and no more birds sang their bed time songs, and
every once in awhile you could spot a darkened cloud. Yokkyu's sigh
indicated that this was the perfect environment for a night time
training session in the forest. He wanted to waste no more time in
getting there and starting his business. And so simply put, his calm and
casual walk turned into a light run to the far east, which by Yokkyu's
estimates weren't too far away. A good ten minute walk out of Seireitei
and 5 minute walk after that, then a run to the Forest. For one who was running as Yokkyu was, the
trip would only take about seven minutes tops. And so he ran for those
seven minutes, not passing by anything interesting, not passing to speak
with anyone, and not bothering to note and more differences. He had
arrived at his destination on time, and had looked around to spot a
fairly dense patch of forest where he could work on his offensive
Zanjutsu and Hakuda on those healthy trees. He unsheathed his
zanpakutou, deciding to first work on that. However, just as he was
about to begin, he felt the reiatsu of one nearby. It was... hollow... A very powerful hollow, perhaps an Arrancar. It was about the
level of another Captain, Yokkyu was able to tell. He couldn't tell where they were but he knew they were close...

There was a Arrancar somewhere in this forest indeed. Some distance away from Yokkyu, a arrancar with black and blue robes was simply walking through the forest. He felt bored, and wanted a little walk through the forest. He came here ready to fight incase such a thing happened though, as he knew things like this happened all the time. He sort of a long haircut as his brown hair nearly reached his shoulders. He carried his sword on his back, it had a strange sheath.. it was like the sheath was made for a big tuning fork. He had a hole where his stomach was, which represented what he was. A Arrancar.

On his walk through the forest, he felt the reaitsu of a captain level shinigami. He sighed to himself. "If he comes for me.. he dies. Thats all I have to think about that. He then resumed his walk. He didn't even seem to care much about the fact a captain was around.. was this arrancar cocky about his powers or did he simply just not want a fight? Who knows. He looked relaxed and calm during this walk.

Yokkyu remained where he was, not really looking for the powerful entity, but keeping his senses keen, just in case the being decided to do some sort of sneak attack. However, the pressure never got any closer to him, and not really any further. It was in the area and it didn't seem like it was leaving. And without hesitation, Yokkyu pulled out his Soul Phone, pressed a few buttons, and hit the send button. Within the spam of ten seconds, the message was sent, and a Hell Butterfly flew down from the sky and landed on Yokkyu's finger. He transmitted to it the message that there was a high-leveled hollow, possibly an Arrancar within the World of the Living, and sent it to Squad 12. After all, it was Squad 12's duty to monitor the World of the Living for either Shinigami Reiatsu, or hollow reiatsu, and if they didn't catch it, then they would need o be informed. After they were informed, it would e entirely up to them how to handle it, but it most likely would be alone the lines of alerting Squads 9, 10, and 11, the more "Combat Deployment" Squads. Squad 9 assisted Squads 10 and 11, and Squad 10 assisted Squad 11, and Squad 11 was the "solely combat" Division. However Squad 12 would go about alerting whoever they would was entirely up to them - as Yokkyu had done his job at alerting them, and now he would perform the duty of making an attempt to cleanse the soul[s].

After the Hell Butterfly passed through the Senkaimon, carrying the messae to Squad 12, Yokkyu immediately launched himself into the air, his Soul Phone still in his hand, and used it to help him locate the hollow. According to the phone, it was about a mile and a half east - which in the world of Shinigami and Arrancar, was not very far. At all. With that in mind, Yokkyu gently floated back down to the ground, landing with a light tap, and began a light run east, where the entity was according to the high tech Soul Phone. It would still be in the forest most likely, as the town was three miles away, give or take some inaccurate metric measurements. All Yokkyu knew was that if there was a hollow here - a high leveled hollow or a high leveled Arrancar, it didn't mean anything good, and could only be here to cause some sort of trouble. No hollow creature that Yokkyu knew of went anywhere solely for leisure. So he continued, passing many many trees ranging in size from 20 feet, to 80 feet. This was a large forest, but in relative location, they were on the outskirt of the forest, with the bulk of it south west - the opposite of where Yokkyu was currently heading.

His light run continued, until he felt the pressure much more clearly, which he responded to by jumping high into the air, landing on a tree, staring to travel from branch to branch. With each step, he heard a light cracking noise as his powerful legs propelled him from one tree to the next, and a few branches even broke completely by the force of his legs. According to the Soul Phone, the hollow was 1,000 meters straight-forward, which compelled Yokkyu to slow his pace, hide his phone, and unsheathe his zanpakutou. With a slower pace, his steps would be much less noticeable, and with the phone away, one couldn't hear a noise if it were to go off - at least not as well. Little by little, he got closer and closer, until he saw the male in his eyes. Decently powered, around the same level as Yokkyu, with what looked to be shoulder length brown hair. He could tell by the clothes it wore, and how humanoid it was, plus the by the fact it carried with it a zanpakutou - it was a Arrancar. It looked like it was most likely one of those ranked Arrancar - known as the Espada. Very dangerous indeed.

From his perch high above the Arrancar, Yokkyu simply abondoned all stealth and dropped. Yep, he just fell from the tree, and landed directly in front of the arrancar, just eight and a half feet away. As though it were completely normal to do such a thing, and as if he had no care in the world, he began with a simple, Oh? What have we here...? he said with a smirk, as he now felt not only this Arrancar, but the power of yet another Captain level person within the area, plus three Vice Captain leveled ... objects. He could tell that the addition of the Captain leveled creature was that of a human... but the three vice captain strengthed... beings... were something Yokkyu had never felt. Their strength felt somehow electrical... Whatever the human was here for, and whatever these... other three things were here for, Yokkyu knew he would have to keep his senses peeled t ensure his own safety.

As Edwin moved along on his walk, he could feel the captain like Reaitsu and the reaitsu of 3 vice captain levels. He looked up at the captain, and looked at him as he dropped. He didn't look fazed or shocked at all. He rather gave out a cold question to this captain. "Is the reaitsu I feel your squad coming to ambush me, or is it something else? Answer me with no violence. He sounded very demanding, as he wouldn't trust this Shinigami at all.. he wouldn't make a move to kill him unless he did. But considering how Edwin was a arrancar, he saw it as being inveitable.

Edwin awaited this Shinigamis answer, with patience and with a serious look. He wasn't going to lighten up with him any time soon. If a fight did begin.. Karakura Forest would see a very chilly sensation going through it. Edwin didn't even come here to cause trouble and fighting. He hit him that maybe he should state this to the Shinigami. "I came to Karakura Forest for a walk. I didn't want to cause any trouble with Shinigamis or anything. Do you believe what you'll think is a lie? He looked at him seriously, still. Waiting for his answer.

Yokkyu regarded the arrancar for a little longer than a curious-second. Of all things, Yokkyu did not believe this male to be telling the truth, and he had absolutely no reason to be lying to him. An arrancar, in the world of the living, with thousands of defenseless souls lingering at virtually every corner imaginable, and the Arrancar is here, in laymans terms, minding his own business? I hope he realizes why I shouldn't believe this, but I don't know... he though to himself, hesitating and struggling to find the words proper enough for a reply. Well, how odd... he said at length, finding that a suitable answer to what the Arrancar had just said. There haven't been any reports of any damage done, nor are you flaunting your reiatsu about like a madman... NOR have you harmed anyone or anything... he reasoned outloud, bringing his hand up and scratching his chin. Clearing his throat, he backed up a step and a half and noticed he heard a strange... whirr-noise. Very high pitch and... electronic.

His instincts told him to turn, and to turn now - and so he did, but he saw nothing. There was something there; there were three somethings, and what they were and what they were doing, Yokkyu didn't know, but whatever they wee, Yokkyu could not see them for the life of himself. Startled and his suspicion raising, he turned to regard the arrancar, thinking this may be some sort of trick by him. Start talki-- he said, only to be caught off guard by the loud noise of gun shots, presumably by the three pressures he felt; well, more accurately, the pressures he is currently feeling. Before doing anything else, protecting himself was TOP priority, and without a seconds thought, the claws hands rose from his sides, and began to act as though they were pushing something away from his body. Bakudo 39, Enkosen! which in turn erected a quick-spinning, orange-yellow barrier, that blocked shots from the three drones. Due to his high skill in kido, he was able to block the shots without cracking the bakudo, which continued to spin, until finally slowing to a halt and dissipating a few seconds later.

A moment later, Yokkyu was able to see a male a good 30 feet away, Yokkyu knew instantly this was his doing, and not the arrancar's. How? Instinct. He heard the male, who had long, spikey-ish looking light brown hair, speak, something about his little friends being dangerous. Whatever it is, he had just marked himself as a target, and that meant no holding back from Yokkyu. While I am usually unauthoried to engage humans in combat, i'm absolutely positive Central 46, as well as Squad Six and Two will see absolutely no problem with me defending myself. Allow me to introduce you to my partner... he said, allowing rage to take over, showing himself to be a little more than the average rage-haster. He would get over his rage soon enough, and he was justified. He was attacked, and regardless of how long it took - this would of happened any way, and it is, or seems to be, the right thing to do in a situation such as this. Yokkyu drew his blade...



And with that command being said, Yokkyu's blade, which was a standar katana, was enveloped in a black liquid like substance, quickly transforming the hard metal into hard, yet rubbery and - living - snake heads. Six eight foot long snakes emerged from the hilt of the new weapon, with the head of a snake on the end of each stream that came from the six vine-like appendages. They formed to create living, breathing, moving, independent and venomous snakes. Upon mental command, three slithered their way to look behind Yokkyu, while the remaining three kept a close eye (or tongue, as they see my smelling - with their tongues) in the direction of the new male, keeping tabs on both the Arrancar and the human. He must be a human... I mean, that's what he feel's like... Yokkyu thought to himself, awaiting the move of the human. He still wasn't exactly sure, but he knew humans with supernatural powers in fact existed, and this was likely one of them.

Edwin could tell this Shinigami wouldn't really believe him at the start.. but he really was here to relax, but as a Espada, relaxing was a rare occasion for him. But then when the guns started to fire, he Sonido'd back up to a tree, out of the way of it. He began laughing at what he was seeing. "Seems like Man against machine for you, Shinigami! It seems like the commander of these robots is a ally to the Arrancar. To make it fair for you, I won't attack you while you fight these things. Have fun with em! He took his stand there and watched the battle unfold before his eyes.


"Shinigami, if your alive after your done battling him, I will be your next oppenent if you have the will to. I'd be fighting you right now but I am just not a fan of 2 against 1, its not fair isn't it? He laughed after shouting out. He then remained quiet to watch the battle unfold before him, hoping for some fun to be had from seeing these two trying to get at each other.

(Ill be out this thread until the fights winner is declared in this case.. )

Yokkyu sat still, with his released zanpakutou in his dominant right hand, and listened to and watched the human who might truly prove to be a formidable foe. However, as things usually seem, humans get a little more arrogant and cocky than most other races because they are highly restricted to Wisdom, at east that's how Yokkyu sees it. They live a single, short lifetime in comparison, and they lack time to get true understanding and wisdom, which was indeed a major flaw in the realm of the humans. That is not saying they can't or they are unable, it's just that it is either very rare, or very difficult. Or both. However, Yokkyu would do his best for the time being to properly guage his opponent, despite him being a little more than outraged. And the only effective way to do that would be to limit speed, strength and kido use to throw his opponent off, while keeping his senses, primarily the senses Seeing and Hearing. Those two would play an extremely large role in properly gauging his opponent, and might make the difference of hit or miss. Life or death... There were two very cheap kido's that Yokkyu could use after gauging his opponent, and if it came to that.... the idea was already in his head.

The human spoke once more, an incredibly obvious sentence. His little creatures were useful? Well of course they were useful, what person would bring something to a battle that wasn't useful or helpful or whateverthehell was said. Yokkyulet out an annoyed grunt, only to hear the unmistakable sound of a charging Cero. Thinking it to be the arrancar, Yokkyu jumped straight into the air, with astonishing speeds, only to have the dangly pants of his get caught by one of three cero's, incinerating a small portion of the pants. If it were three... then the Arrancar must have brought some backup, except the reiatsu of the Cero's wasn't his, nor were thee any other Arrancar. It was Eelectronic. It was those damned machines. Those damn bastards need to be dealt with, for sure. A good way of taking out electronics would be to overload them with electricity, and there was of course, a kido JUST for that. So long as he could get close, the difference in power from Captain Class to Lieutenent Level was enormous, and just one shot from an electric kido may do the trick and make the little bastards explode. Hell, it was sure fire to the max.

Yokkyu was about to congratulate the bastard human on a ALMOST clever attack, however, Yokkyu would never do such a thing with a foe, so he simply laughed out loud for a short second. It was an obvious insult at the poor attack. I am a Captain. I do not know how old you are, and how many battles you've fought, but if you think pitiful attacks such as a sneaky-wannabe-quick-attack, or even those dimwitted 'get behind you attacks', from either you or your little machines, which i'm sure is going to come, is going to work on me, then you're going to be dead much sooner than expected. I am a Captain, 1,000 years of age. Hundreds of battles fought. I know how to fight, and know what to expect. Do not be stupid, human. he said with another short laugh, only to grip his zanpakutou a little tighter. The snakes re-focused, three groups of two all looking different ways. A splendid navigation system. One of the perks of having an individualastic zanpautou. Each group was pointing to where one of those devilish machines were. They were to be taken care of first, unless Yokkyu decided it was a bad idea, and would then target the human.

And so he followed one of the grouped snakes and used an extremely potent Shunpo, appearing directly in front of the animalistic machines. With an outstretched hand, Hado 4. Byakurai. Despite this being a low level kido, it was EXTREMELY potent and well known for doing extreme damages. Yokkyu would have to make an appeal to the Kido Corps to renumber Byakurai due to its high power and its high piercing capability. However, that was not the only 'good thing' about this kido in this situation. It was indeed electric. Very powerful, and highly regarded for its piercing capability. This would indeed tear through the whateverwasontheoutside of the BH1's and would probably even overload the damned thing, causing an explosion of some minor sorts due to its tiny size, or simply overload it and shut it down. Either one of the two was satisfactory. Now if only the kido hit the damned thing...
