Unknown fighters
DOOM Eternal OST - Meathook
Things were, for the lack of a better word, spiralling out of control, for Ichigo and his group as they followed Marston through the tree's pathways, killing the occasional maskless hollow.
It was when they came into a large area did they see Uryu struggling to free himself from the clutches of a scorpian Hollow, it's upper body reminding him that movie with Branden Fraser, the Scorpion king.
Kneeling down as the Scorpion Hollow set Uryu into a cage made from the wood of the Tree, it went to leave if not for the Hollow from before swooping down to viciously kick the cage, giving an evil cackle as it circled above.
"Go hunt the other sacrifices, we're wasting time with the Shinigami protecting the city!" seeing the Scorpion gesture with an arc of it's only human arm, the flying Hollow gave a roar of protest.
"I agreed to exact my revenge when Lord Mundus snatched me from hell, I intend to fullfill it, Sutoraikā. And Enjoy it I shall, you go hunt those weaklings, I'll watch the Quincy!" flying higher for a more better advantage, the scorpion turned to Uryu with a hiss before climbing over a wall, second before another tremor shook the tree.
"How are we going to rescue Uryu?" turning to Marston, the cowboy sported a calculating look, they all looked up to see the Hollow above.
"Okay, I have an idea, I'll try and get it's attention while you lot get yer friend outta' that cage" bringing out a revolver, Marston turned his head to them as it ignited with blue fire.
Giving a nod, they gave one in return, allowing the cowboy to rush out from his hiding spot to fire a round at the hollow, making it flinch in the air, it turned it's head at his retreating for before he leaped off the ledge, the hollow following with a hungry roar.
Seeing their chance Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Kisuke and Yoruichi rushed towards the cage, Rukia keeping an eye on the sky with Renji.
Seeing them rush towards his cage, Uryu spoke.
"Quickly, quickly, I know we just met the guy and don't know his skills I am not taking any chances" seeing Ichigo bring out his Wakizashi. Uryu flinched as the teen gave a swing, sheathing the blade, they stopped and stared as the cut only formed half way through the vines, looking to the edge as gunfire echoed with roars.
Turning to the cage once more, the tree shook with a much closer tremor with an even more ferocious roar above them.
Swinging once more, they got the desired result of Uryu tumbling out of his confines, standing up quickly he fixed his glasses.
"Thanks but we need to save the reunion for later, just get me away from here!" seeing the normally stoic teen rushing to cover, Ichigo and co followed.
"Why are you so jumpy, usually you have a cool head?" turning to ichigo with a stop, Uryu spoke with a fearful yet hilarious look to his eyes.
"I have been given a very detailed monologue of my torture, the following events of this world being brought to an apocalyptic seasons, the sun being torn apart to be replaced by the moon, TENTACLES RISING FROM THE GROUND! *inhale slowly*. I am disturbed and horrified I hate it" moving to leave they all froze as John landed with a grunt from above.
Turning to look at the hollow as it landed, Ichigo, Chad and Rukia immediately recognised the Hollow, sporting scars on it's face and body, the human face the hollow sported grinned widely as it glared at both Chad and Ichigo.
"My, my, what a pleasant reunion in such short time" staring at the return of Shrieker, Ichigo and Chad tensed up as the Hollow gave a laugh while climbing on a branch to it's right.
"The looks you're giving me says you recognise me, Good, that means the looks of hate you give me when I devour all of you will be worth it" moving to fly at them a blast from John's revolver made Shrieker stop and glare hatefully at John as he stood up, his jaw hanging from his skull before being fixed back into place, John spoke.
"Why is it every bad guy I fight, they monologue" turning back to Shrieker, the hollow gave a laugh.
"You're right, I should just focus on EATING YOU ALL!" tensing up for preparation to fight, the world slowed down as a being roared behind the group from above, and seeing said being drop between the hollow and them, Ichigo watched as the humanoid grabbed Shrieker by the head under it's right arm before it leaned back to slam Shrieker face first into the ground, the momentum and sudden downward turn sending the two sliding towards the group with Marston giving a hearty chuckle.
"Where the hell have you been?" seeing the being standing up and toss shrieker back, they all flinched as it snapped it's head towards John with a soft snarl.
Looking skeletal in nature, it looked more like an exoskeletal in full detail, it's muscles covered in bone like armor, they all stared as it's skulls eye sockets glowed with a crimson orb each while four horns sprouted from it's head, two facing forward and two pointing backwards, and adorning it's legs were a pair of tattered jeans.
Shocking them all as it spoke in broken English.
"Souls, trapped above, trying to free them. Planning to break tree, from roots" turning to Shrieker as he got up, it gave a snarl as it turned fully to the hollow.
"I'm going to enjoy ripping you open!" the only response Shrieker had gotten was a loud rage filled roar before the being charged at him.
Seeing the two rush at each other, John gestured for them to follow to an opening up a slope.
"Come on, when he get's like this the vision ain't pretty, speaking from experience here" following the Cowboy, they felt the tremor below with Ichigo turning to see Shrieker being sucker punched in the face before having two enclosed fists knock him down.
Feeling himself pulled forward, ichigo followed, ignoring the roar of agony after a sickening crunch, the being chanting a strange war cry.
"What the hell is Kar en Tuk!?" turning to a shaken Uryu, John spoke while moving through a tunnel.
"It means rip and tear, he says that a lot after playing a Video game called DOOM eternal, if it's in this world you should try it, but right now we need to focus on finding these souls" running after the Cowboy, Kisuke spoke his mind.
"What or who was that?"
"That's my boss' trump card when the odds are against him or when it wants to go on a frenzy, it calls itself Senza Nome, Nameless in Egyptian I think, thing can take a nuke head on and walk it off like a minor tan" paling as another tremor shook the pathway. The area widened with Hollows digging themselves free from the walls, moving to bring out his revolvers, John watched Ichigo slide by him with a click of his fingers, followed by a very familiar goliath in his eyes.
Seeing Nightmare rising from the ground, it hunkered down before firing it's laser forward, incinerating anything in it's way.
"Huh, wonder what V would think of this?"
Meanwhile
Dropping down with the corpse of a Maskless Hollow beside him, a figure wielding a Wolf headed Cane stepped over a smaller hollows corpse, stepping over said corpse, the form of Victor Schnee read his red book with little care of the surrounding battle around him, reaching to his pocket to bring out a pair of connected headphones, the sounds of battle were drowned out by a familiar song.
I'm the One (feat. Casey Lee Williams) by Jeff Williams
Ducking under a Hollows bladed tail, a man in a hood caught it with claws resembling elongated swords, severing the tail, Alex Mercer gave a roar as he lunged into battle.
Leaving Victor giving a light skip while summoning Shadow to impale a creeping Hollow behind him as he read.
Gesturing with a flick of his hands, a Hollow was hit by a golden blast of fire before a cloaked robot rolled into view, aiming a black and white Hand cannon, giving a cheer the robot double jumped to avoid a lunged from behind him.
Simply enjoying the music, Victor jabbed his cane to the right to impale a hollows head, letting it drop, another Hollow went for a bite if not for a large sword with a hole near the hilt severed the head, allowing a pale skinned man to rush by with a cackle.
Looking up ahead of him as a hollow landed, Victor stared as it roared, moving to lunge at him it's chest burst open suddenly with a revving chainsaw ripping it open, showing a large man being the killer of the beast.
Seeing victor the man grabbed one earphone to listen himself, nodding at the drums and lyrics, Dominic Santiago gave an approving look before taking aim and walking off, firing the weapon with Victor returning to his book, before a small pebble hit his head, making him turn to see Princess Alua fly into view with a raven haired woman. Seeing her rush into the fray, the girl behind her watched in awe at the chaos unfolding around them.
Smiling at the woman, Alua allowed her Gravity magic to rip two chunks of tree away to bludgeon flying hollows above, her faithful companion Dusty meowing at his feet while admiring the princess fly over the battlefield.
Turning to the woman, Victors eyes widened suddenly as a hollow appeared behind her, it's body dangerously thin, it's wide mouth tore into her right arm with blood splattering everywhere, moving it's mouth to rip the now mangled arm off, it's head was impaled by Shadow while Victor rushed to the woman's aid.
Her eyes glued to what remained of her arm as she fell to her knee's as agony slowly krept into her mind, another group rushed into the sight with Orihime's voice echoing over the chaos
"TATSUKI!"
Oh shiz, the new fighters step into the arena of bloodlust and carnage see if you can name those not called out ;D
