Sleeping Victim [Open]

J'veras dodged and weaved through the throes of the enemy. Demons trying to attack him, but just missing the spot where he was a few seconds ago, his Reserrecion making him a lot faster than they could keep up with, without any effort anyway. He saw the large demon make itself known, smirking as he went to attack it, before the Sugiura's Guardian Beast blocked the way. He dodged out of the way of the vines that had shot out towards the huge demon. "Hmph. I'll finish this in one shot.

The Arrancar held out his hand as the vines finished tangling the demon's propsed leader. Energy built up in his hands, making them glow a deep purple from the reishi. He hopped over the heads of all of the demons, making sure he stayed out of their reach as the larger one howled in rage at being confined. He finished charging his energy, aiming at one of the less vine-covered parts of the demon, so as to not hurt the Guardian Beast, and let loose, the energy firing off as a dense beam of energy, a Cero. The energy slammed against the demon's side, causing it to howl out in pain as the force of the Cero caused it to cripple over a bit, as much as it could in the Beast's grasp. When it didn't immediately die though, The arrancar scowled, he had used up a lot of energy with that Cero. Although, J'veras was fine, having used a regular Cero and not the Gran Rei variety. He panted from exertion slightly, dodging a small energy ball from one of the demons below him, cursing loudly as he got caught by another ball of energy, the bastards were persistent, he noted.

"One more hit like that, and this thing just might go down." he called to Colin and Marama, sort of a notice that it's side was weakened due to his Cero. He scowled as he disappeared back into the throes of the demon horde, making his way back to the other two people, feeling a third presence further back in the forest.

Colin looked over his shoulder, glad that Marama had followed his plan. He had been surprised when this other one had arrived, and even more so when that gigantic beast appeared. Colin had gasped audibly; he hadn't expected such a thing to turn up here. He looked back at the other too, quickly giving them his suggestions about what to do.

"Here's my idea; First, Marama, excellent job restraiing him. Second, you, thanks for coming to help, I presume. As you said; our energy doesn't end here. I'm going to go finish that thing off, J's lost a lot of his energy. I'll take out as many as I can on my way there, but you need to stay safe, both of you."

He turned back to the monster, throwing his hands out. On his feet, new feathers appeared, forming a sort of boots around his feet charged with energy. On the back of his head two lines of feathers rained down, creating an elegant headress the likes of which hadn't been seen since the Indian's fall. He prepared himself, his eyes staring through his vizard's mask at his opponents. His wings stretched out far and he looked back one more time, saluting them in his second level of bankai.

"NOW LET'S GET THESE HELLSPAWN!"

Colin raced out, throwing his feet forwards. His attacks with his legs resulted in BOOMkicks, throwing his enemies broken pieces into their allies. He struck any he saw, making his way through the forest to their enemy. He round house-kicked a demon into a tree, slamming it in much as he had been slammed. Windscar was ablaze with movement as well; it cut out at anything that Colin did not get in his flight among the trees. Colin's cybernetic eyes sent the data to his brain fast enough for him to react to his surroundings, and he took advantage of that each time he met an enemy, cutting them down. He killed many on his way to the giant beast; he had no time to reflect on his actions as he cut them down. He eventually reached his target, looking around at the beast of Marama's roots.

He gave a low whistle, looking up at his giant foe. He brought in his wings, bringing up his knees as he descended towards the ground. He pushed down with his legs as soon as he could hit the ground, and he was shot up into the air with a BOOMkick against the ground. His headress was gone; in its place was a shining green bow in Colin's hands. He looked down on the beast, holding the bow in his right hand. Lord, this thing is UGLY. If I'm going to kill it, I better do it now. I mean, its just... ick. Looks like I'll finally be ablet to test THAT out in the field, though. Can't wait to try it. Should scare off the other little buggers too. Well, here goes. Let's see if I can remember how to do the eagle shot. Oi, Hollow-

What? I was TRYING to enjoy the carnage over here! Then you come interrupt me! Even after you went and threw a whole lot of my energy, they STILL put in more! ITS HILARIOUS!

Oi. I need to borrow a bit.. well, almost all of your power for something.

Oh yeah? What's in it for me?

You'll get to see a giant demon in a lot of pain. A LOT.

Oh, very well. Just be careful, or you might cut yourself![

[color=green Well... thanks, I suppose. [/color]

Colin finished the conversation in his mind, looking back out over the battlefield. His hollow had been eating popcorn during their conversation, sitting and watching the show of this massacre. Colin almost envied him. However, he stood stalwart as the feathers on his mask began glowing brightly, and he rose up his bow in front of his face. He was looking out at the demon, selecting a spot, archer style. He felt the energy on his face leaving, descending into the bow. Then he felt his own energy, a large amount, half of his power, going into his weapon of choice. An arrow formed, growing larger. Evantually, the shaft went into the arrow tip, enhancing it and making it sharper. He looked at the spot that J had hit already; the beast was largely wounded there. His eye calculated the exact spot of J's shot, and Colin targeted it, pointing the tip of his still charging shot at it.

He felt it, the shot was ready. He pulled back gradually on the string, not even holding the arrow. The arrow stuck to the string, eager to be fired. He hefted back, then flapped his wings. As he did so, he cried out, loud enough for his prey and everyone in the park to hear:

"FINALE.."

The bolt fired; it was larger than Colin himself. It sailed outwards, directly at its target. The Guardian Beast would be able to feel it coming and hopefully move off the beast when it hit. The shot entered; from Colin's angle, it was able to go to the beasts heart, piercing it. It gave a start, the large demon's face was covered with a look of astonishment. It was shocked that anything as scrawny as Colin could have enough energy in him to actually damage his flank, and go that far! However, Colin wasn't done yet.

"Shot."

This single word echoed over the park as well, soft in what surrounded it. The arrow, within the mostrosity, exploded, destroying its heart completely. It gave a massive cry as it fell onto its troops, released from the grip of the Guardian Beast, as it could no longer fight it. It crushed many of the newly gathered demons, and all the ones that had gathered underneath Colin as he had prepared his shot. Colin, for his part, felt his mask vanishing, becoming so much mist on the breeze. He was panting, and his gaze briefly obscured by the smoke of his departing mask. However, his birth face was back, and he could see again. The headdress, as well as his boots, disappeared, and he was left with just his wings keeping him aloft. He looked at the few demons that had just gathered over their leader below him; they were feeding, eating off the carcass of their leader. The other demons began running after it as well; its powerful odor a great attractant to the simple demons.

Colin looked at them, his right eye shut tight from exhaustion. He pointed his finger at the ones below him, saying softly "Hado Number 4, Byakurai." A bolt of lightning left his finger and blew away those demons, and Colin descended down onto the ground. He thumped his chest, activating his invisiblity cloak. He went behind each demon as it approached the carcass, slitting each ones throat individually and then moving onto the next. After a while of this, he then turned back around, deciding that there were enough that they could handle now. He turned around, and began walking back to Marama and Kei, to see how they had fared. He thumped his chest again, becoming visible to the world once more...

Kei for once, was astounded by the power of all three, able to take down a Demon of that power was truly a feat that only a few could accomplish effortlessly.Never the less there still remained the infestation of demons which had soon fell in numbers by the restless onslaught of the three,who weren't completely drained.Kei had no need to take action since the demons were preoccupied and wouldn't possibly consider charging towards the base of the tree without getting pass the Arrancar and the and it's malicious limbs and roots.He leaned back folding his arms and closing his eyes.He could feel the soft embrace of the wind as it slowly returned,the barrier meant ensure their dooms,began give way, seeing that the master was no more and it's carcass would go on to nourish the very tree that had lead to it's doom for an eternity.Just a bit eager to show off, a soft sigh escaped his lips as swords appeared out of thin air,hovered around the tree in such magnificent grace that it seemed as if they were all on in the same attack.

The blades hummed and glowed ,a bluish aura that had formed from their tips had bathed them in radiance. All a spectacular show put on while draining Him reitasu though not much, and with a snap each sword pointed downwards.Possible to count at least 500 blades heeding the percise command as the shot forth impaling the demonic enemy while exploding in shards, if they were broken or damaged along flight.[Fōringu-shi,my least favourite, yet very powerful. He mumbled as watched his attack demolish his foes.By now he would be on his way, not sure of what to do with the corpses but it wasn't any of his fault,he'd complain.He stood firmly on his two feet and began walking towards the Central gate. " Well i'll entrust this to your capable hands and the names,Kei. Do whatever you want." He said without turning his back but loudly enough for everyone to hear.

He held up his right hand, and formed a gun with his index and middle finger, gesturing further to the right,to bid the others a farewell.

The arrancar panted softly as he exited his reserreccion state, sheathing his blades in a well practiced movement, making his way back to the Sugiura and the Vizard, stepping gingerly over corpses that didn't get taken into the ground by the strange beast. "Well, that takes care of that problem." he tried to joke, sensing the slight tension in the rest of the little 'party' they had amassed.

J'veras. You know as well as I do that there had to be a way they were all getting into here, right? his Zanpakutō chided him, mostly for letting his guard down.

Yeah yeah, I'll worry about that when the time comes, for now, I say we defuse this tension between the others. he sighed outwardly, shaking his head. "Crash course introductions aside, that went...pretty well." he chuckled slightly, eyes darting from Marama to Collin, waiting to hear how they would react to his light-hearted take on the attack.

[[Gah. short. ._.]

Colin laughed, suprised. Half at the events and half at J trying to difuse the situation. However, Colin had a more natural approach to the whole situation. He HAS been doing this sort of thing for nearly five hundred and fifty years.

"Well, here we all are again. Looks like we all made it out alive, surprisingly enough. So, did you two have a good time? Hard to believe that in one day we had an assassination attempt, a wave assault by demons, a disagreement with a tree, and a big boss battle. NOW, for my real question."

Colin smiled, sitting down on the ground, and indicating they should as well. His smile got kind of wild as he reached behind his back, reaching into the tiny garganta's he had been forming. He bit his lower lip, moving his hands around, trying to find it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he brought his hands back around, 3 plates in his hands, one large one in his right and 2 smaller ones in his left. He set the big one in front of himself, looking like a dog with a bone in front of him. He placed the other two in front of J and Marama, tearing off the foil around his own. There in front of his criss-cross sitting self was a beautiful plate of seafood; succulently cooked salmon, slices of mahi mahi, shrimp, and even some Coastal salad; a perfect combination of lettuce, spices, and just a bit of perfectly cooked swordfish. It was all cooked by Colin himself, and he had supplied smaller portions of each item to the other two members assembled before him.

"After a battle, I find meal is always good. Considering what we've been through, I'd say we've earned it. I also have something else..."

He reached back again, this time pulling out 2 large bottles titled "Canada's Hardest" On a red label with white stripes on top and bottom. He then pulled out three glasses, filling them. Then he pulled out soringuiguru, and speared the salmon on it, biting off a delicious bite from its tail. He chewed, and realized the others might not want to follow suit, and reached behind with his left hand and threw them forks. He was almost laughing; he loved having a meal with other people. Plus the fact that he had seafood; that fact alone almost made him feel as if he was in heaven.

He noticed Marama's akwardness, and rose his glass to toast with her and J. You shouldn't have to feel stiff after killing a bunch of hollows. He reasoned, speaking aloud.

"Come on. Just take a load off; its been a hell of a day."

Colin watched J leave, silently. He looked over at Marama across the way from himself, in her fancy-shmancy chair. He laughed a bit, standing up, holding out his outstretched hand. His bankai wings stretched out behind himself, a wide smile on his face as he had come up with this idea. While we're here, we might as well have some fun! And what better than a flight? He thought to himself, flapping his wings once, but remaining on the ground, speaking.

"So, you wanna go for a flight? It'll be a lot of fun; and I promise not to drop ya'. And even if I should... I'll be able to catch you."

He said simply, looking out behind his glasses, his eyes bright and face gleaming as he looked at the woman with green hair and eyes. She really does look quite nice... I forgot how much I liked green. He thought to himself; realizing what weird situation this was. Because of his activated bankai, his hair and eyes were green as well, but a bright green, the same color as his feathers. He realized that Marama had seen the cutting pattern of the feathers earlier, and realized he owed her one.

"Erm, yeah. They won't cut you, I promise. And also... thanks for earlier, again. So, how about it? Would you like to feel what it's like for a bird in the sky as opposed to being earthbound?"

(Short, but I don't really care XD)
