The next morning, Stark began to franticly finish his report on the last mission, usually it wasn't required till the end of the month, but there was another meeting today over what had taken place on his mission. He was almost done with form I-CUP-B4, when Leona walked into his office, carrying her finished report.
"So you're not done yet?"
"No I over slept, can you help me find form I-CUP-B5?!" asked Stark. Looking under his desk or the lost form.
"Uh, Stark,"
"Yeah did you find it?"
"Yeah, it's stuck to your shoe."
"Thanks," said Stark peeling off the piece of paper, then quickly filling it out.
"You almost ready the meeting is in five minutes."
"Just one more line," answered Stark.
"Well I better get going, other's wise I'll be late."
"Fine," said Stark hastily filling out the rest of the paper.
"Where is he?" thought Leona. She and the other Espada and Seraphins had now been sitting at the conference table for ten minutes waiting for Stark to present his report. Some members were beginning to get impatient, others were finding ways to entertain there selves. Dante was trying to balance a pencil on each of his fingers; so far he was up to six.
"Nero, check it," said Dante now on his seventh finger.
"Dude that is Fuck'n awesome!" laughed Nero "Betcha a beer you can't get them on all fingers though."
"You're Fuck'n on!"
Vergil stood up and slammed his hands on the table. "My lord please tell these idiots to act appropriately!"
"Easy Vergil, I'm just having fun!"
"It's up to our lord."
All eyes turned on Dexraj. "Well actually I want in on the bet, one round of drinks says he can get a pencil on all ten fingers and one on his nose." laughed Dexraj.
"Done!" said Nero.
"Come on Dante make me proud!"
Dante began to put the final pencil on his thumb with his nose ever so slowly; all eyes were on him, slowly on the tip made contact with the tip of his thumb. Then with his teeth he grabbed the eraser and began to lift the pencil vertically, then he let it go, and it stood perfectly on his thumb.
"Sorry I'm late my Lord!" panted Stark running into the room. The unexpected noise startled Dante causing him to drop all the pencils.
"Son of a Bitch!" yelled Dante. "You owe me a drink Stark!"
Dexraj just laughed.
"Looks like I'm getting drunk tonight!" cheered Nero. From across the table Gin gave Nero a menacing glare. "Only after I get my work done!"
"What's going on?" asked Stark.
"Well we made a bet while we were waiting for you," explained Dante. "Speaking of which what took ya?"
"Wrong room on the wrong floor."
"Ok, since all of us are here that will be attending I say we begin," said Dexraj. "Stark if you would."
"Yes my lord. On my last assignment Leona and I were to search several under water pyramids off the South Eastern coast of Japan."
"Man I bet you're shitting water!" laughed Nero.
"QUIET YOU FOOL LET THE MAN CONTINUE!" said Atlas.
"We found nothing of any interest at the pyramids, other than unique coral formations. However in a nearby trench, we found what we first thought to be a giant statue of bones. Upon further examination, we determined it was actually the fossilized remains of a giant sea creature." Several black screens formed at the end of the table showing off various images of the bones.
"No way!" gasped Dante. "How could something so big lay undiscovered for so long!"
"When we began cleanup and retrieval, the bones began to regenerate at immeasurable rates, within two seconds the creature was fully revived. It was then that the creature used telepathy to communicate with us. It was then that we learned it was called Leviathan and meant us harm."
"Good lord," said Kyrie.
"After an intense confrontation, we were able to defeat it and retrieve adequate samples."
"What have we learned so far from the samples?" asked Dexraj.
"Nothing at all," answered Halibel.
"Anything else you have to add Stark?"
"No sir."
"This ends this meeting," said Dexraj. "Tomorrow we will have another when Grim and Hutch return, dismissed." Everyone got up from their chairs and left the room orderly.
Grimm sat on a boulder next to the entrance to the cave they were investigating. He had no idea why he had volunteered for this mission, as he hated recon missions.
"It's like a fuck'n thousand degrees out here and negative four in there, this is just great," he thought. The others were in the caves looking for any trace of mummies, carvings, hell even an ancient shitter. He was out here waiting for his men to show up to quicken the exploration. He was hot, bored, and cranky. He tried to get some sleep but the sun was too bright and it was to hot. He took out his sword and started to carve his name on the boulder.
A black screen appeared in front of him with Hutch's face on it. "Grimm get down here we found something,"
"What about my guys?"
"They'll figure it out, just get down here."
"Fine on my way." Grimm stood up and stretched to loosen up. "Take off in 3...2...1...ignition!" With that he was off into the cave at lightning fast speed. Deeper and deeper, faster, and faster, until he found where Hutch, Soifon, and May, who were standing in a room full of giant pillars. "What's up?"
"That was quick," said Hutch. "Well we found the mummies alright."
"Yeah, so what?
"The problem is there seventy feet tall," said Soifon.
"Where are they though?"
"See these pillars, well they're not pillars," explained Soifon.
"Huh?" Grimm then noticed what she meant, the mummies were huge, brown, wore a pharaohs' crown, and appeared to be holding up the cave. "Well this adds some complicity."
"Yeah," agreed Hutch.
"You got a plan?"
"Yeah, first we take everything else then quickly teleport the giant bastards out of here."
"Sounds good, I'll take the northern wall."
"I'll take the Southern," said Hutch.
"We'll take the Eastern," said Soifon and May.
Grimm was looking at every inch of the stonewall and as quickly losing interest. The carvings appeared to depict the giants being worshipped, eating their followers, and then later being struck down by lightning. "Well that's a helluva a way to go," thought Grimm. The next set of carvings depicted the followers mummifying their masters and placing them in the cave. However, what happened next was weird. The Carvings depicted the world flooding, and then there was an exact map of the earth with markings at five different areas of the globe. One mark by Japan, one in Greenland, one in south western America, one in Antarctica, and one in the middle of the Atlantic. The one on the middle was different though; it was made out of gold and appeared to be a button. Grimm looked at it for a moment then pressed it to see what it did. He waited, but nothing happened, so he continued on looking at the wall. When he was done he simply melted the wall with an energy beam, leaving no trace of any carving what so ever.
"Hey you done Grimm?" asked Hutch from across the cave.
"Yeah! What about you?
"Yeah I'm done! Meet in the middle!"
"Alright."
After an hour of waiting, everyone was done with their section of the cave and met in the center.
"Now for the fun part," sighed Hutch.
"Yeah now we have to move these big ass people eating bastards," said Grimm.
"Huh?"
"I came across some carvings depicting the giants eating people."
"Huh, me too."
"Me too," said Soifon.
"Yep," said May.
"So did you come across a golden button?" asked Grimm.
"Yeah," said the others in unison.
"You guys didn't press it by chance did you?"
"Uh, maybe, could of, yeah," said in unison once again.
"What do you think they do?"
"Not a clue, but we should probably move these things though," said Hutch.
"Yeah I want to get home, we've been here for two days, and it's starting to get to me," said Grimm.
"Yeah I haven't had any chips today and I'm going insane," said Soifon.
"Well let's get started. Soifon you take the one to the East, Grimm the west, May the North, and I'll take the south. Be quick though or the cave will collapse."
They each went to work. Grimm opened up a portal behind the giant and kicked it through the portal with one swift kick. Hutch opened a portal beneath his giant and it sank slowly down. Soifon kicked her giant into Grimm's portal. May opened two portals, one on each side and brang them together.
"I think we're done," said Hutch.
"Wait what about the one in the center?" asked May.
"Oh yeah! Almost forgot about that one," laughed Hutch.
"Let's just get this over with," sighed Grimm.
"Ok, I got it," said Hutch. Hutch opened a portal beneath the giant figure and slowly sank it in. "Let's go home," said Hutch opening another portal. Everyone stepped through the portal to Los Noechas.
Outside the cave five portals opened. Out stepped five Espada from Grimm's group.
"Hello!" cried one down the cave.
"Hello!" cried another down the cave.
"YO GRIMM!" cried another.
"You guys think they forgot about us?"
"No way they wouldn't do that!"
"What about that time in Borneo?"
"So he got bored, that's natural for him."
"He didn't come to get us for three damn days!"
"Can it Makosa!"
"Fuck you!"
"Alright there's only one way to settle this."
The five automatically withdrew their swords and began to fight. It would be five days until Grimm remembered them.
