God Yet Lives

Aera: <H-How did you...?>

Mortal looked at Senthose while Sab rushed to his side, "Well, what the hell happened to you?"

"Are you okay, do you need anything?" Sab looked at Mortal, "Do we even have anything here?"

"Medical supplies? No. You teleport, and I regrow limbs, didn't seem needed."

--

Noctis looked at Taiyo, "So, what exactly is your mission?"

--

Atae thought for a second, "Um, tentacles, kind of creepy, robes, oh, he had red eyes, slitted pupils, and silver hair."

"Ugh, can't you see I'm trying to sleep? I figured if that jackhole Arrancar followed me here, I could distract him with some other sap with superpowers long enough to get away."
===========================================
*Hisagi tosses her a couple issues.*

Hisagi<You can take those to Squad 4.>
===========================================
E"Yeah, but they don't exactly show up on cue. They tend to target us, but I'm not sure if we could be used as bait, or anything."
===========================================
<You thought you could kill me with that pathetic attack? Absurd.>

*He fires a Cero into her goddamn neck.*
===========================================
<Rasheverek. Is he still in the Soul Society?>

Atsuko bowed, "Thank you, sir."

Curious, she thought to herself as she ran to the 4th Division barracks, I may see Atae there.

"I don't like that idea. Maybe they have a favorite hiding spot?"

Atae shakes her head, "He opened a garganta, and I lost his spiritual pressure entirely. I would imagine he went back to Hueco Mundo, or the world of the living." She said, "Who is he?"

--

Noct sighed, "Bait for hollows, that would be a horrible invention."

--

Mortal shrugged, "I was in Hueco Mundo for a second and a half. Met a guy there, seemed kind of strong, spoke highly of himself, this the guy?" She asked. "Also, next time you want to use someone as a distraction use the Soul Society, not us."

E"You mean besides Hueco Mundo?"
=====================================
<Well...to say he was Aamon's right hand man would imply he ever had loyalty to anyone but himself. He actually tried to devour my daughter during the war, but that plan backfired on him. I don't know what he's been doing since he returned to Hueco Mundo.>
=====================================
S"Either way, you should have killed him when you had the chance. I can't hide out in the Soul Society in this condition. Besides, I'd planned on throwing one of the humans at him."

Mortal shrugged, "I didn't know he was a badguy, and I don't exactly go around fighting everyone I meet."

--

Noct giggled a bit, "That is a pretty big hiding spot."

--

"So he is powerful... then whoever put him in the state I saw him in must be even stronger."

"Leave me alone."

[This is going bad already.]

"I'm just joking Taiyo, take it easy." Noct said, still a bit of a smile lingering.

V"It would really help to know why they're after you. I haven't been to Hueco Mundo in ages, so I couldn't say why Hollows would be interested in you. I do know that most Hollows want to be powerful."
============================================
<I am told the battle exhausted most of his powers. Still, it pays to be cautious. I'll ask the Head Captain about sending a scout team into Hueco Mundo.>
============================================
"In a situation like this, you can't afford to show discretion! If you encounter a potential threat, destroy it! Then, for good measure, destroy its every worldly attachment! Friends, family, the dog, you turn them all into an example of why not to fuck with you!"

*Aera gasps in pain and loses consciousness.*

"Chill lady, I'm dealing with enough dumb shit today. I don't want to add picking a useless fight with a shinigami to that list" his shoulder still hadn't completely healed yet and he holds his arm a bit tighter to brace it.

Atsuko finally reached the 4th Division Barracks and went looking for the Captain.

"That'd be nice to know. Oh Venezuela, you're so smart, and pretty, and have a cute & fluffy tail..."

*She continues her tangent of praise.*

V"Taiyo? Try to focus."
===================================
*The Captain is not in her office.*
===================================
L"Then I suppose you'd better get out of the Soul Society. I am licensed to kill tresspassers."
===================================
*He stomps on her unconscious body, rapidly bleeding from the neck, & charges another Cero, aiming at her head.*

"Err...right."

"Sure, even though half of soul society is visord and arrancar now its clearly alright to kill non-aggressors who are only here to heal then leave anyway."

L"I don't have time to explain the difference between authorized visitation & tresspassing. This is your last warning."

*She raises her other hand, charging a Byakurai.*
============================================
E"So, I don't get it, how does targeting us make them more powerful?"
============================================
~Aera is dead~

"How about you calm your shit?" blood runs from under his hand since he stopped focusing on regenerating. "Is there no place I can just rest, fuck."

"They eat you and steal your powers?"

Noctis shrugged, "I guess it makes sense, we took the power of hollows, why can't they take our power?"

--

Mortal shrugged, "Alright, I'll make sure to remember that."

Sab walked over to the kitchen and began making tea, "Would anyone want tea?"

"Yes please."

--

Atae bowed, "Thank you for hearing my concerns. I should... leave you to your duty then." She said, waiting for permission to excuse herself.

*Binah looks at her funny before edging out of the door.*
==========================================
E"We didn't really take their powers. Senthose can't control Earth. We just got some of their spirit, which I guess is what Hollows do, but we're not super powerful. Like, Ven, what are you?"

V"Adjuchas."

E"If you ate us both, do you think you could go up to the last level?"

V"Probably not. That doesn't upset you, does it?"

E"Not really, no."

V"You sure? I could nibble a little, tell you how you taste."

E"That's quite all right."

V"Okay. If you ever change your mind--"

E"I won't."

V"--But if you DO, just ask."
==============================================
S"Do you have raspberry?"

Atae sees Binah leave and leaves herself, "I guess she isn't big on formalities." She said, walking down the hall to see how her patients have been since her last visit.

--

Noctis furled her eyebrows, "I thought you didn't eat people."

--

Sab nodded, "Yes, we do. Would you like a glass as well Senthose?"

"I wouldn't mind if you nibbled on me a little."
