Land of Masks


Crashing into a chalk white room with NOBLE team moving into securing positions, Ken held his hammer at the ready alongside the others.

"No hostiles in sight" turning to Noble one as he turned to him, Ken spoke with Haylee nodding in agreement.

"Keep you're guard up, now doubt we've already been detected" getting nods from the team, Noble moved with weapons drawn and ready to fire.

Stopping at hearing movement from behind them, Ken spun with the Gravity Hammer ready within his grip.

Stepping back in surprise at the large hand reaching to the ceiling, a face shadowed behind a corner spoke.

"Huh, Who are you?" seeing all turn to them, Haylee raised her right hand before sending a Cero through the giants head, leaving the group, minus her fraccion, staring at her while she shook her head.

Looking to them, she shrugged.

"What, no need for subtlety" staring at her a moment longer, Ken and Hope Shared a look before they began moving.


Finding a Large area, Ken stopped as he looked up, unnoticed by all but Jun who had took notice.

"Are you supposed to be a canary hollow?" making them all stop, Haylee and her fraccion perked up at finally noticing the hidden observer.

"No, I am not" watching as an oddly bodied man floated down to the floor in front of the stairs.

Ken looked to Jun with a nod, making the Super soldier slowly back away as Ken approached the bird man who tilted his head.

"By any chance do you have more guys here, the lovely lady here took care of the big guy" nodding to Haylee as she cracked her knuckles, the arrancar flinched at her presence.

"So the Tres Espada brought you here, it seems the mission was a success" frowning at his words, Ken turned to Haylee who rolled her eyes.

"I wasn't even going to bring him here, my sisters and I have to deal with enough here as it was, Aizen simply gave me a means to escape this dimension" looking to Ken who gave a chuckle.

"And look where we are now, seems he had a plan hidden under another" turning to the lone Arrancar, Ken snapped his fingers with a loud snap echoing beneath the sound of a sniper going off.

Leaving all but Ken and Noble team flinching as the hollows head exploded, moving to turn to Jun as he lowered his sniper, the room began crumbling, making Ken look to Hope before they made a dash to the stairs with the others.

Looking back, ken grabbed Hope in his arms before he began speeding himself up.

"WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!"

"WE'LL MAKE IT!"


Feeling his feet leave the ground as the group exploded from the entrance, Hope was flung from his arms as he tumbled down a slope.

Sliding to a stop with his head spinning, Ken looked up to a starless night sky with only a moon in place.

Ken sooner got to his feet to wipe the sand from his body, shaking himself like a dog before he noted the others regrouping.

"Everyone Good!?" getting nods from the teens and Arrancar, the Soldiers stood at the ready to defend.

"No injuries sir" getting a look of surprise form the teens, Ken turned around before his eyes widened as the sight of Las Nochez.

"Welcome to Las Nochez, our home until recently" seeing Haylee gesture to the castle with a bored look, Hope gave a whistle.

"Wow, that place is huge" getting a nod from Haylee, she turned to her fraccion who sighed.

"Well, let's get this mission over with" looking to Noble 2 aka Emile, the super Soldier followed after Ken with his shotgun resting on his shoulders.


Running along the sands with the Super soldiers keeping there speed enough for the none supers to keep up, Ken had no trouble due to his armor enhancing his body.

Feeling his skin crawl and eyes on him like the time he met the Cybertronians, Ken slowed down in confusion as the others sped past him.

Looking over the area with his HUD scanning for any… dead life signs, Ken held his Lancer firmly before he looked up to the sky to his right.

Staring for a good moment, Ken looked ahead with a frown before he toyed with the Omnitrix, flashing green, Hermes took off to catch up, leaving a sand storm in his wake.

Rolling to a more acceptable speed to be beside Noble one, Carter turned his head slightly before looking forward.

"We've been detected and most likely watched, keep your guard up" getting a nod, the group continued on, with Ken looking out for any hollows, he zipped ahead to slide to a stop.

Looking ahead, Ken flashed green to look with his HUD.

Turning to the others to see them running a mile back, Ken looked down to his feet to see a small lizard hollow crawling over his right boot.

Before it could flee upon being spotted, Ken reached down to cradle it carefully while stroking it's back.

Lifting it up to his eyes, the hollow stared back with it's own curiosity at not being killed.

Leaning down to let the little guy go, it moved away a foot before looking back to Ken who nodded for it to leave, making no moves to harm it, the hollow tilted it's head before burrowing into the ground, leaving Ken standing as the other arrived.

"When you said it was big, you never really told us HOW big" looking to ichigo as he fell to his ass, Ken gave a snort.

Looking over the land scape with his HUD, it pinged towards the left where movement was discreetly moving to them.

Tilting his head as the arrancar followed suit, Hope was conjuring water for the teens.

Looking to Haylee as she turned to him, she gave a nod with Ken moving towards it.

Stopping at the presence bursting from the sands, three monstrous hollows were shown chasing a cloaked figure.

Flashing green, Hermes snatched the kid from the close grab from a hollow wearing a Tiki mask.

Handing the kid to Haylee who looked down to her hands in surprise, ken flashed green again before Wolf took flight with the hollows following suit.

"Alright which one of you am I hurting for chasing a KID!?' floating with the hollows gulping, the child spoke in alarm.

"Don't hurt my Brothers, PLEAE!" looking to Haylee whose eyes were glued to the child, Ken spoke as he lowered them down.

"Say what?"

"They're my brothers, please don't hurt them, we were playing endless tag" giving the adorable arrancar a look, Ken slowly turned to the three hollows who were hugging the ground.

"Solid ground, don't leave me again" giving the smaller one a look while the big guy shook at seeing him looking at them, Ken turned to the kid before Haylee spoke.

"Her name is Nel Tu" getting a surprised look from the girl, the three others had looks of alarm as Haylee lifted her up to show a 3 tattooed on Nel's back as she giggled at her hands, Haylee moved her shirt aside to show a similar tattoo on her right breast.

Getting a gasp from Nel.

"Are you my SISTA!?" getting a look from Haylee, the woman smiled beneath her mask fragment as she held Nel closer.

"Of course" giving Ken a look that said it all, Ken nodded before turning to Las Nochez.

"Can you lot give us a hand getting to the big ass castle?"
