It's Been A While: A Dangerous Mission [Private]

Snopy looked the hollow up and down. The hollow was a large bulky humanoid...actually, that was about it in terms of physical form. Surprising, there were no claws, fangs, wings, or anything else of the sort. It was just a humanoid. Though all Snopy could think was "Don't open your mouth, don't open your mouth." At that moment the hollow opened its mouth and s Cero began to form. Son of a bitch. Snopy jumped out of the way and ran as the hollow released a powerful Cero. As Snopy landed outside the blast radius he looked on at it. Even for a hollow this level, that charged up way too fast and was way too strong. Something doesn't seem right here. The beam had charged up in half the time it usually did, and was a hell of a lot more powerful than most hollow this level could pull off.

In all honesty if Snopy could kill it before he figured it out he would be fine with that concept. Him knowing why each hollow did what, well wasn't something he had the time for. Let the energy flow, Tsuin Megami Reijingu. He released his Zanpakutō and raised the pistol in his right hand. Oddly it was upside down with his pinky on the trigger. This meant that the handle was facing up and the barrel was at the bottom. Though somewhat unorthodox, he found it strangely easier to handle this way. His pinky pulled back on the trigger and a large blast of energy came out. Using his pistol in a place like this in most cases would pose great risk to the environment around him, but he knew better than to just blindly shoot.

Using the sound of the blast to hide it, he quietly spoke. Bakudo #4, Hainawa. The hollow attempted to jump out of the way of the incoming blast, but one of its legs became snared. It was ripped back, straight into the bright purple blast of energy which collided with the hollow. Snopy wasted no time in charging up to the hollow. At this point, his running speed was becoming quite impressive. He had just enough speed to jump in and bring his blade down straight on the disoriented hollow's mask. The blade, however, stopped with a simple clank. A small crack had formed, but that was about it. Not even with the extra cutting power from my Shikai can I pierce through.

Rather than sitting dumbfounded until the hollow fully regained control. Snopy immediately jumped up and attempted to aim for the back of the hollow's neck with his blade. Unfortunately, the hollow jerked just enough to only be stabbed in the shoulder. Reacting quickly, Snopy attempted to build up the force necessary to lop off its arm. Even though hollow could indeed regenerate, he knew it would drain up some of the energy in its body if it did. Either way, it could simplify things. Yet things were, indeed, not that simple. The hollow's other arm came around and attempted to punch him out. He had to bail out before he could get the arm off.

Jumping off the hollow's back, he did a back flip and pointed his gun at it once again. One thing he loved about his accuracy is it allowed him to hit the mark no matter how awkward the position. Pulling his pinky back, he fired another medium sized blast at the hollow. Due to the angle, there was no chance of hitting anything but the hollow or the ground. The hollow was awfully cocky, and as such, the blast simply slammed into him. Obviously it had not expected Snopy to fire whilst back flipping off of it. Snopy didn't even do it to be fancy, he did it because he felt it would work. He landed at the very moment the blast struck, before choosing to Shunpo behind the hollow and aim for the neck once more. Yet Snopy stopped and attempted to jump back. He suddenly felt something. But it was too late, a spike shot out of the hollow's skin and went straight through his chest. Slowly it retracted back, with blood dripping off of it.

He stumbled back a bit before going straight for the neck again. It hurt like hell, Snopy knew that much. But he also knew it was an extremely thin spike. It missed his vitals and major blood vessels. As such, considering the size of the hole, it was not a major injury.The hollow threw a much which Snopy jumped over. He landed on the arm and pointed his gun point blank at the creatures neck. You can't do this to me, you ca- It was cut short by Snopy's pinky pulling back and ending its existence. Snopy resealed again. Umm, you okay boss? Snopy chuckled a bit. Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see. At this point if I pass out it will be after the mission is complete. The spike was small, it didn't cause much damage, even if it did go clear through me.

I have to wonder though, why did it seem so weak? Snopy looked up as he spoke. That hollow seemed to be more built for one hit kills rather than drawn out fights, think about it. It had incredible stealth abilities and it had a quick charge and fire Cero. If it had used that combo, I might be dead. But it didn't. Once the element of surprise was lost, its inferior speed and strength for its level make it actually an easy target for someone like me. Anyway. Snopy looked around. It was about time for him to see how many hollow were left, and what Kaminari was doing.

Snopy and I agree that we are never getting back to this thread for multiple reasons. One being that the characters are no longer like this, so yeah... xD Two being loss of interest, so...

Archiving.
