God Yet Lives

*The elephant suffers a laceration, but takes the opportunity to gore him with its tusk.*
=======================================
<Get away from me, you psycho bitch!>
=======================================
E"My geology final."

L"Heh. You might say that the one advantage to being a pseudo-Captain is that I didn't have to take the Proficiency Test."
=======================================
"Sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I don't know what to do with my day."

*She begins getting dressed.*

"Not really. I can't help but think your day must get really boring."

Noct smiled, "I'm sure you'll do great, Euryale." She then turned to Lilith, "Same goes for you, I can't imagine you not being up to snuff. I heard Taiyo is being looked at for Captainship, why not you?"

--

Atae let out a sigh and got a large needle, filled it with the good stuff, and waited next to the closet. As soon as the guy poked his head out she would pounce... she had nothing else to do.

E"Can't pass if I don't show up."

L"Just because she's being observed, it doesn't mean she'll succeed. With things the way they are, anyone who has a Bankai is being regarded as a potential Captain."
=========================================
*He remains in the closet. Several minutes later, she hears the distinct sound of a stream of liquid entering a metal can.*
=========================================
"They have been, ever since the construction was finished."

"Still, she is being observed. I don't think it is fair that she gets observed and you don't. You're just as powerful as she is, probably more so." Noct said.

--

"I can see you..." She whispered menacingly.

"I'm sure there's something for you to do."

*After tying her hair into pig tails, she rummages through a drawer full of collars. Wearing a normal tiger print bikini, she turns around holding an orange collar.*

"Do you think this collar matches my bikini?"

L"I can't transfer out of this squad because that would leave it without an officer. And I can't be a Captain in Squad 13 because it would be redundant. That's all there is to it, it has nothing about power or ability. But thanks anyway."
=============================================
<As this is a door, not a window, I'm gonna have to say that this is more proof that you're psychotic.>
=============================================
"Umm...yeah, I guess?"

*She snaps the collar on and finds a matching headband before putting her uniform on.*

"You know... I think you'd look cuter with a tough looking collar. Maybe one with spikes."

"Maybe I am, I'm still the one with the needle, ready to knock you out cold. And after all these insults, who is to say I have not finally snapped? Maybe when you wake up you won't have a broken leg, maybe it'll be gone entirely."

--

Noct shrugged, "I guess it just doesn't seem fair." She then let out a small sigh, "So, this being your home, do you have anything to drink. I remember you drinking my house dry when you came over, the least you could do is offer a drink in return."

*Venezuela raises her shoulders to neck level.*

"That's quite alright."
=================================
*Lilith's Hollow Mask forms.*
=================================
<I still have my Zanpakuto!>

"All I need to do is stab you with a needle. I can do that faster than you can swing a sword."

--

"You drank my hand sanitizer, you owe me at least one drink."

"All right. But if you ever change your mind, I know a great place we could go and get one."

[Or a dozen.]

"I'd better get going now."

*She shuffles over to the bed Venezuela is presumably still on and gives her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.*

"Bye. Have fun doing...something."

And with that Yue takes the opportunity to impale the damn thing through the skull while there was no chance to dodge it. "Die you fucker!"

*Lilith tosses a bottle of hand sanitizer at her.*

L"Enjoy."
======================================
*Its ears wrap around its head. Though they tear, they protect it from most of the impact. Afterwards, a layer of white mushrooms began emerging from its feet, covering its legs, then its body.*

Basidius<My spores are spread, now I can assist you, Ganesha.>

Ganesha<Much obliged, my King.>

*The trunk darts out, aiming to wrap around Yue's upper body & arms. The mushrooms glow green & the wound starts to close up.*
=============================================
<You want to try me?>
=============================================
Rangiku<Oh, Taiyo...I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but....>

"But...?"

Yue slashes himself free and breaks the tusk loose. Blood runs from his wound and he grins. "Fuck you guys now I'm pissed" he wipes some blood from his mouth and levels his sword at his side. Red colored reishi swirling around him, "Enchain, Bestia Escarlata" the sword dissolves and thick red binding wrap around his body like a cocoon before burst revealing his released form. He picks up the tusk piece and hurls it at the oversized mushroom before looking at Mr. Elephant. The bindings on his left arm loosen and Yue lashes out with them against the elephant aiming to wrap the suckers around its head then detonate the fucker's head clean off.

"When's this Captain's Meeting supposed to be?" Kira asked before leaping back at Atsuko and swinging a series of weak but quick strikes at Atsuko's arms.

Atsuko took a half step back and blocked the first attack with her blade, but as the second came around she could only move fast enough to redirect it and it tore a rip in her sleeve. When a third strike came around she decided to dodge it and ducked away from it before diving into a roll that took her away from her Captain.
As she hopped back to her feet, she saw to her surprise that her Captain was holding his palm out to her- "Hado 33..."
When she him speak, she immediately slapped her hands together, dropping her Zanpakuto on the ground at her feet and cried out, "Bakudo 39!"
"Sokatsui."
"Okasen!"

Kira watched with satisfaction as his blue blast of light soared over and met with the yellow arc shield, exploding and hurling dust into the air all around Atsuko.
"So?" He turned back to Noah, "When is it?"

As the dust and sand settled back to the ground, Atsuko could be seen, still holding the barrier (now diplaying a large crack down the middle) before her with a startled look on her face.

N"We've been given an hour to get ready."
====================================
<You...didn't get the job. I'm sorry, Taiyo.>
====================================
*When the elephant collapses, the mushrooms quickly devour it. A mass of tentacles had emerged in front of the main body to block the tust, & were now eating it too.*

<I'm sorry, old friend. I will avenge your death.>

*Taiyo sighs then throws her arms around Rangiku.*

"That's the best news I've heard all week! The whole potentially being a Captain was driving me batty."

*She lets go of Rangiku.*

"Besides, you're much more suited for the position. Being a Lieutenant and all."

"That's kind of gross dude" the bindings snap off his arm and red reishi wraps around his arm creating new ones. Clearly he didn't want to get whatever those freaky shrooms were on his body. A cero was in order here. Thus without delay he floated upward and charged a cero before releasing it at Basidus.

"Okay, did Unohana say what the meeting was about or is that a surprise?" Kira asked before turning back to Atsuko who had dispersed her barrier and picked up her Zanpakuto again.

*Basidius splits wide open, a much taller, Gillian-sized version of himself sprouting from the ground. The Mask cracks, creating a much larger, fanged mouth. Around the area, 10 house-sized 3-clawed arms emerge from the ground, some having more arms branching off of them like dead trees. The sand of Hueco Mundo for at least an acre starts to glow green. When the Cero hits the body, it burns a gash in it, but that gash quickly closes up.*

<I may not be an Arrancar, but you're not the only one who has a second form!>
==========================================
*Rangiku frowns.*

<You shouldn't sell yourself short like that, Taiyo. I don't want to be mean, but you really should be disappointed. You know I can't take the post, I'm not nearly strong enough.>
==========================================
"You know they almost never specify before we get there."

"Now who's selling herself short? I'm sure you're plenty strong. And you've been a Lieutentant forever. If anyone should move up, it's you."

"Well shit. To hell with dealing with that" Yue ghosts the shit out of that noise via sonido.

"I suppose" Kira shrugged, "Is there anything else?"
Before Noah replied, Kira dived at Atsuko again and swung a powerful strike at the top of her head with one hand.

Atsuko gritted her teeth and swung her Zanpakuto above her head to block the incoming attack. She felt a shock as their blades met and hers was forced down closer to her head.
He's been holding back on physical strength until now.
Almost as soon as their blades met above her head she saw him moving his free hand to use Kido on her. She moved to intervene.

"Hori-" Kira began before being cut off as he felt a force knocking him away from his subordinate.
"Sho!" His 4th Seat yelled and Kira was knocked back by about a metre before the Kido stopped working.
He then turned to Noah again, grinning.
