Prelude "Scorpion"

In a remote part of the Sahara Desert, several Shinigami have their Zanpaktuo drawn, as if expecting an attack. One such Shinigami, a young man who appears to be no older then sixteen, seems to be anxious, and is looking in all directions. Another Shinigami, most likely more experienced then the boy, walks over to him.

"No need to worry, we can handle a few simple Hollows" They say, the boy seems slightly reassured, then, the more experienced Shinigami detected a Reiatsu of a Hollow, but something wasn't right." Scatter!" They shout, the order is instantly executed, just in time to avoid what appears to be a large scorpion." No way, what's that doing here?" They asked themselves, while most Hollows that leave Hueco Mundo traditionally had a white mask with a black or other dark colour of a body, this one was just a big white scorpion, an Adjuchas Class Menos. Before any of the Shinigami could react, the Menos had burrowed under the sand again, and then proceeded to pull one of the Shinigami others began to panic, but the Menos seemed particulary interested in the nervous one. The young and inexperienced Shinigami soon realised this and reacted the best way he could.

"Feed, Fame Del Drago!" He exclaimed, the blade he held in his hand suddenly changed in appearance, as half of it's blade became covered in bone like spines.


These Shinigami never saw the Menos coming, and certainly didn't expect an attack from below or that it even was a Adjuchas Class Menos. These fools deserve to die, f they can't expect the unexpected the Scorpion Menos thought to itself, as it pulled one of them under, after that, one source of Reiatsu seemed to intensify. One of them is hiding something It decided, and so turned to it's new target, which reacted by unleashing their Zanpaktuo's Shikai state. The Menos burrowed underneath again, and dug under the unsuspecting Shinigami. He sent his tail up through the sand when he thought he was directly underneath the Shinigami


The Hollow had burrowed again. Just my luck, the first Hollow I have to fight is one that can burrow The Shinigami thought to himself, he just managed to get out of the way of it's tail, which would have made him lose an arm if he had not dodged it. The Hollow itself followed soon after, snapping it's pincers at him, he stopped it's first claw, but was thrown back by the second one."Hado thirty one, Shakkahō!" He calls out, firing a red ball of energy at the Menos, which upon contact makes it stop and shake it's head, halting for a mere moment. The Menos digs under the sand again. I can't beat this thing, I'm in way over my head

If that's the way you think, then let me take control! Said another voice in his head. The Shinigami had no clue as to who, or what it was, he felt that it was.....untrustworthy. Did I stutter? I said, let, me, take, control! It screamed in his head, he felt a sudden surge of pain as spritual energy covered his hands and feet in white bone-like armour, whilst a odd looking mask started forming above his right eye." That's more like it, having a real body to move." It says, now in control, it shift's position from upright, to standing on all fours, carrying Fame Del Drago in it's mouth." Now, where are you?" It asks, it is answered by the Menos tail spiking up right in front of his face, the new entity reacts by taking a hold of the tail with's now armoured right hand, and pulling the Menos right out of the sand, and slamming it onto it's back, he waits for it to recover, before rushing at it and slashing one of it's pincers and it's tail clean off. It stopped and looked at the blood that had been left on it's blade." So much blood, yet I've only just started." He said, before turning back to the Menos, which was in the process of escaping to Hueco Mundo, he tried to attack it again, but it was gone before it could connect." Damm!" He shouted, the other Shinigami were still alive, and watching this.

"W-Who or W-What are you!?" One asked, It turned to them, it's frown changing to a psychotic smile.

"You ask who I am, even though it's a pointless question, as for what I am, I'm your demise!" It said, now standing upright again, it plants Fame Del Drago's blade into the ground." Fame Del Drago!" It shouts, quick lying pulling the blade from the ground, a blade of energy races through the sand toward the Shinigami, killing most, any left alive were soon impaled by the earth spikes that arose in the energy's wake. Amused by it's handiwork, it began to laugh manically, taking joy in the deaths of the Shinigami.
