Aidan woke up to the silver alarm clock that he hadn't heard in a year. He reached over quickly and slammed his hand down on the alarm clock to turn it off. It was going to be the second day of school, and he was actually ready for it. The past year was spent in the Soul Society, learning how to be a Shinigami. It would be different then what usually is planned on his agenda. He sat up out of his bed, and yawned. He needed to get dressed and eat breakfast. Last night his mother was so happy that she offered to cook breakfast. That was the first time she had ever done anything like that, he felt like there would be a catch though. Aidan picked out his dark blue long-sleeve shirt that said, 'Shattered' on it, and he wore his casual black jeans. He went to the bathroom that's connected to his room. It was a average sized bathroom, just big enough for breathing space. It had the basic shower, toilet, and mirror area. He brushed his reddish hair, and exited the bathroom. His Soul Communicator phone began going off. He flipped it open and looked at the map that was shown. There was a group of four hollows around the forest area. He ran down the stairs and grabbed his breakfast, and then continued out the door after saying,
'' Thanks Mom! Love you; I'm in a Rush so talk to you later! '' His mother just stood there, confused.
Shaoni woke up in his bed, with a Manga in his lap. He let out a long yawn, and walked downstairs to the bathroom with his eyes halfway open. There was a flashlight on the floor, and Shaoni slipped over it thus tripping. His face landed in the dirty bathroom toilet. He quickly looked in the mirror to see what happened. His face was completely soaked, with brown smudges everywhere. He heard a flash and looked beside him; there was his brother who had taken a picture of this little accident. Shaoni started to chase his brother but then decided he should clean up his face. He got a washrag and began scrubbing his face real good. He looked at the formerly white rag that had turned brown with a nasty smell; Shaoni gagged and almost threw up. He threw that rag in the dirty clothes pile and grabbed a new rag and scrubbed the same way. He didn't even bother to look at the rag and threw it in the dirty clothes pile. Shaoni changed his clothes and then chased after his little brother.
'' Give me your phone retard! '' Shaoni shouted at his ignorant little brother Dai, who was quite large, and round. Shaoni stuck out his hand.
'' Oh it's alright now. I promise I deleted it... AFTER I UPLOADED IT ON FACEBOOK! 'Dai screamed before he laughed.
Shaoni sensed the Spiritual Pressure that was leaking from the group of Hollows. '' You know what... I'll deal with you later. '' He said before leaving his house and going after the group of Hollows.
Alex was cooking his breakfast before he headed off to school. Since he was two-hundred and fifty he didn't have people in his house to cook his breakfast like most kids in high school did. He was cooking eggs, grits, and making toast. It would be a good while before his food was ready so he decided to go take a shower. He went to the bathroom and took his clothes off. He stepped over into the bathtub and pulled, and turned the handle thus letting water spew from the top of the shower. The water started off freezing cold but then it started to warm up. He scrubbed himself with body wash, and did the same to his hair but with shampoo and conditioner. Alex got out of the shower and dried off. Then he walked through the house but-naked until he got to his room and put on some clothes. Alex went back to the kitchen, and inspected his breakfast. He decided it was well done so he flipped it onto his plate and began to chow down into his food. Once he finished he placed the plate into the sink and washed it. Alex sensed the spiritual pressure from the hollows and ran to the area where he sensed the spiritual energy.
'' I wonder if Aidan and Shaoni are on their way too. Shaoni had to sense it with his cautious mind, and Aidan was probably to clueless to sense it but his Spirit Communicator had to warn him. Its only three minor hollows though so they might have left me to it since I'm the closest. '' Alex, thought to himself.
Aidan arrived at the scenery in the mountains. He was hidden behind a tree and he was looking at the three hollows. There were two smaller hollows and then a bigger hollow. Although the third one was bigger then the other two, they all had about the same amount of spiritual energy leaking from them. The two smaller ones appeared like scorpions, while the big one looked like a bear. Aidan sensed two other points of spiritual energy speeding at him until they were right beside him, Shaoni and Alex. Aidan went into his book-bag and pulled out the Soul Candy Dispenser out. He popped in the Soul Candy and Bruce took over control of his body. Aidan sprinted toward one of the Scorpion Hollows. He slashed at the scorpion twice, but the hollow blocked the first slash and then parried the next attack by pinching Aidan's Zanpakuto and slung it about twenty feet away from him. He smirked, and leaped up to the hollow. He did a combo of two punches at the scorpion. The Hollow was hit by the punches but then clapped his stingers together. One of the stingers stung Aidan and he used Shunpo to go back to Alex and Shaoni. Aidan used Shunpo again to smash both of his heads over the Hollows Skull and made it crack. A black orb of spiritual energy formed and flew over to the other Scorpion Hollow. The Hollow grew bigger, and its spiritual energy doubled.
'' What the Hollow is going on here! That hollow didn't die, it just formed with the other hollow. '' Alex shouted. Alex just couldn't understand it.
Shaoni sighed and rolled his eyes, '' God, isn't it obvious! The Hollow that Aidan defeated somehow formed into a ball of Reiryoku (Spiritual Energy) and gave its power to that other Scorpion Hollow! Thus the remaining Scorpion Hollow became twice as strong as the Scorpion Hollows were by their self. But I still have a feeling that the Bear Hollow isn't as strong as it should be either. ''
Aidan began to observe the remaining Hollows Reiryoku, ''He's right you know! Every since I got here I observed their power and the scorpions did double. But no matter how big the trees get, I'm here to cut them down and then put them in the wood chipper. ''
Aidan ran over to where the defeated Hollow threw his Zanpakuto and picked it up. Aidan leaped up into the air and walked on it towards the hollow. The Hollow slung his left stinger at incredible speeds that Aidan didn't see coming. Aidan got hit by the left stinger and got slung into a tree. The first tree he got slung into broke in half, and then the second tree was the one that stopped him. Aidan got back up with a smile. He ran at the the Hollow with incredible speeds and slung at the area beside the shoulder so that he would cut off the whole left stinger. Just like Aidan couldn't dodge the left attack, the Hollow couldn't dodge Aidan's attempt to cut his left stingers arm off. He also slashed at the other shoulder so that he could cut the right arm off too. This attack made the Hollow completely defenseless except for its tail stinger which wouldn't do any good at the moment. Aidan decided to end this and stuck his blade through the Hollow's Skull. The Hollow turned into another dark ball of Reiryoku that was sent to the big Bear Hollow which had remained still till now. The Bear Hollow grew a stinger instead of his tail.
Aidan turned around and walked towards his friends. '' It appears the Hollow didn't get twice as strong because he merged with another. There were 4 of these Hollows. I took out two, there is one on its way here because of our Reiatsu, and you're looking at the fourth. So I'll let you two fight over who gets to fight whom. '' He said with a laugh.
Alex questioned, '' How did you know that there was one hollow on its way when you were occupied like that? ''
Aidan laughed, '' I am a Seated Member of The Tenth Division aren't I? I have to be on the top of my game at all times, never letting anything slip through me. ''
Shaoni was astonished, '' But I didn't even sense it and I usually sense anything before your Spirit Communicators pick them up! That Hollow is too far away! I still don't sense it and I'm a Sensor Type Combatant. ''
Aidan rolled his eyes, '' Well apparently my sensor abilities are stronger than yours when I'm battle active. So stop acting surprised about it! ''
Alex ignored Aidan, '' Well Shaoni and I will go after that other Hollow before he starts getting stronger by eating souls. '', and with that the two ran off to defeat the Hollow.
Alex and Shaoni were leaping over the tops of houses. They could sense the Hollow now and it felt stronger than the original three Hollows they knew about did. It must have eaten some other Hollows to get stronger. Alex wanted to take care of the Hollow since he hadn't even sparred in quite a while, so he told Shaoni what he wanted. Shaoni shrugged and said that he would take care of anything else like civilians in peril, etc. Soon they were standing on the rooftop that was right beside the Bear Hollow. So the Hollows could only merge with the four Hollows that were in cahoots but they could still eat other Hollows to get stronger. The only difference was that when they ate the other Hollows that their form didn't change. Alex nodded at Shaoni and leaped off the roof and brought out his Zanpakuto. He started using Shunpo so that the Hollow couldn't keep up with his speed. He cut off the Bear Hollows right arm but when he did the left arm pounded him into the ground. Shaoni just nodded in disappointment, Alex should have done better than that.
'' Ruler get back up! You know Aidan wouldn't have stayed down like that! You are sad fool! '' Shaoni shouted at Alex to get him angry. Alex fought better when he was angry.
Alex pushed the Bear Claw off of him and used Shunpo to escape from harm's way. '' Shut up Shaoni! Looks like this Hollow is gonna make me use my Zanpakuto! Claw through their Heart, Kakushi Taigā! '' He said when his Zanpakuto began changing into a Szabla, which is a Eastern-European Sabre.
Alex could attack from a distance with his Zanpakuto. His Zanpakuto's abilities could be described like he makes wires of Reiryoku that can slice up the opponent real easy. He can make the threads of Reiryoku more intense or less intense. If he makes the threads more intense they can cut easier, if he makes them softer they can cut him just right so it would paralyze the opponent or he could just stop them in their tracks by trapping them. Alex can also set the threads on fire, to burn the opponent. He swung his Zanpakuto at a fast speed to slice the Hollow but the hollow somehow repelled it with his Reiatsu. The Hollow must have released it at a fast rate to repel the threads of it. So Alex would have to intensify the threads so that they could cut through his defense. Alex swung his Zanpakuto again and this time he added some fire to the threads. This time the threads were too strong, and fast. The threads went right through the hollow and set him on fire. Alex let out a laugh. The Hollow turned into a black ball of Reiatsu but when it tried to go to the other Hollow it shattered.
'' What just occurred Shaoni? '' Alex asked.
'' My guess is that the Hollows were too far away so that they couldn't merge together. Or something like that but I assume that's it. '' Shaoni guessed. After Shaoni said that a military of Hollows surrounded them.
'' What in the World is going on here? Why are all these Hollows here! '' Alex shouted.
'' There must be someone controlling them and sending them after us but who? '' Shaoni calmly said, '' This must be happening to Aidan but he can manage himself. ''
Alex checked his Spirit Communicator. '' Yeah he is surrounded too. So let's get to killing! This could get out of hand so let's finish it quickly! '' Alex said getting ready for a huge battle!
