God Yet Lives

*Findor falls from the sky, the rest of his Hollowfication shattering. Meanwhile, the remains of Mimo reassemble into a copy of...Sab. After which, it teleports in front of her & tries to stab her in the chest with its clawed hand.*
=====================================
*Sexy times were had by all. While they're cuddling, Euryale whips out the brochure.*

"So, does any of this look interesting?"
=====================================
*At that moment, Noah enters the building.*

Isane<What do you need, Captain Deluge?>

N"I've been authorized to conduct a mission in Hueco Mundo. I was wondering if I could borrow someone from your division?"

"How about the Regency Theater, you said you wanted to catch a play right?" Noctis said, enjoying the cuddles.

--

Atae saluted, "I would be honored to volunteer myself, Captain Deluge."

--

Sab teleports out of the way, and at Mortal's side. Mortal is visibly horrified, "I... I can't fight that!"

Sab furrows her eyebrows, "But it just tried to hurt me!"

"But it IS you, look at it!"

"Think of it like an evil twin," Sab said.

Mortal, still wary, dropped into her Segundo, and let out a small sigh, "Fine, I'll fight." With that she shoots a Gran Lagarto at it.

"Sure. And it's perfect for your...delicate social preferences."

*She ruffles Noct's hair.*
================================
N"Is that all right with you?"

*Isane nods.*

N"Much appreciated. Feel free to call me Noah, Ms. Atae."
================================
*It shifts to one side, the Cero blowing off its arm. It grabs the ripped apart shoulder & appears to be crying. Assuming Mortal hesitates even slightly, the mask emerges from its face, opens its mouth, & fires a Cero at her throat.*

Noctis smiled clumsily at the gesture, not expecting it at all, but completely adoring it. She wrapped her arms around Euryale, and snuggled in even closer, "I love you, Euryale."

--

"Yes Cap- Well, that would have been silly. Yes Noah," Atae replied, "When do we leave?"

--

Mortal does, and can only react in time to put her hands in front of her face. When the dust settles Mortal is incredibly upset, "I can't do this! Dammit, I almost apologized to it before it shot me in the face!"

*Senthose's emerges from a Garganta behind Mimo, smashing his fist through the back of its head, shattering its mask. An orb of lightning then incinerates the rest of the liquid. He then pops the piece of mask still in his hand into his mouth & swallows it whole.*
============================================
"I know. And I feel the same way about you."

*Hugs.*
============================================
N"We should leave as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it might be too late."

Mortal feels an anger unlike anything she has ever felt well up inside her, but before she could do anything Sab puts a hand on her shoulder, "Right..." She let out a sigh of relief, "Right, evil twin."

--

The hotel room can't contain that much concentrated lesbian fluff and explodes in a dazzle of rainbows and glitter.

Noctis just hugs back, a smile plastered across her face.

--

"Right, well, I'm ready now," Atae said.

Astarte's clones disappeared and she stood in the air above Findor, leaving herself exposed for a few moments as she charged a finishing blow.

*Findor, already being dead, doesn't give much of a shit. Lilith flaps up to their level before dissolving her Hollow form in black-&-pink Reitsu.*

L"...Of course, you realize that this means he secretly plans ways to kill you, just in case."

S"I don't know what you're talking about. It was a lucky shot."
======================================
"All right. But the only legal way to pass into Hueco Mundo is through Squad 12."
======================================
*After a while, Euryale gives Noct a kiss, then gets up & starts getting dressed.*

*Iris' eyes light up, though it's kind of hard to tell if it's genuine joy or if he's faking it.*

Iris: <Wow, really! That'd be just swell! Right, Aera!!?>

*As he says this his mouth is still stuffed full, so his words come out jumbled and a few pieces of the dead Arrancar fall down and sprinkle on Aera's face.*

Astarte then incinerated Findor's body with a final blast and turned on Lilith as though about to strike her but just barely holding back.

Enkidu considered Iris for a few moments, trying to properly process his reaction.

Noct follows suit, after going in for a quick shower to wash away to smell of sweat and sex.

--

"You should have a plan to kill everyone you meet, just in case," Mortal said.

"Wait, you have a plan to kill me?" Sab asked.

"Not that I could ever act on it, but yes. It is just survival."

--

"Alright then," Atae said, remembering the last time she was in Hueco Mundo with that Chessed girl.

L"Glad to know you have plans to kill me."

S"Oh, relax. We already know they wouldn't work."
=====================================
*After clearing everything up with Squad 12, they enter Hueco Mundo &--OH GOD LOOK AT THAT HOLY SHIT IT'S AMAZING! Nope. It was just sand.*
=====================================
"So, do you know what this play's about?"

"That is rude."

--

"No idea."

--

"Well, this place is as exciting as ever."

Astarte just glared at Lilith, saying nothing.

OOC: Hey, look at that, I don't know who said that or what they're responding to.

L"No, THAT is rude."

*She points to Astarte.*

L"Seriously, she's making me uneasy."
==================================
N"Unexciting is good. We don't want trouble & chaos. Now then...if Tipheret is here, she's probably in the Menos Forest."

*To this end, he draws his Zanpakuto, & fires a blast of sound that drills a small, 2-foot diameter hole, into said forest.*
==================================
*After the play, they're walking back along the beach to the hotel.*

"So, did you have fun?"
==================================
<Just have to find some way to get that perverted jellyfish alone...maybe we could try our feminine wiles? What do you think of that?>

OOC: Sux don't it.

Mortal shrugged, "It is just her thing, she is really quite pleasant. Try having a chat instead of pointing, now THAT is rude."

--

"What makes you say that," Atae asked, "What is she doing here in the first place?"

--

"I had a wonderful time," Noctis said with a smile, "How about you?" As they passed by a restaurant Noctis asked, "Do you want to go get dinner at someplace fancy, or should we go back to the hotel and just order room service?"

OOC: Yes, that is why I label my shit.

N"She recently lost a fight with an Arrancar. I am told she was very sore about it."
===========================================
L"Just where you get off on criticizing my etiquette is beyond me."
===========================================
"Yeah, it was a really cool show. Fancy food is always good."

"Well, that isn't good," Atae said, "Revenge will only get her even more injured."

--

"I'm pointing out facts," Mortal said.

--

"Do you still have that brochure? Where should we go?"

N"Those were my sentiments exactly. But Squad 11 does things differently from...sane people, I guess. It can be difficult to work with them, sometimes."
===================================
L"You're just--!"

S"Whoa, time out! Let's lay down some ground rules here. From now on, all disputes will be solved by wrestling in swimsuits."
===================================
E"Yeah...but did it list any resturaunts?"

Iris: <What's with the staring? Is there something on my face?>

*He starts rubbing his face to check for any food.*

*Aera is still sitting quite far from the head of the Arrancar, so it'd be hard for Iris to spit on her. She rolls her eyes and shrugs.*

Aera: <Sure.>

Astarte took a quick look around and then sealed her Ressureccion.
"My apologies," Astarte spoke evenly and gave a slightly bow to Lilith. "It is in my nature to hate and fear Soul Reapers."

Enkidu broke the stare the look at Aera, then back to Iris, "Your friend seems less than enthusiastic, but if you really do wish to achieve more power I suggest you follow me."

"What do you mean by work with them?" Atae asked, "You're the Captain, things should be done your way. Isn't that how it works?"

--

"I don't remember," Noct said, "I did hear someone say something about some place called the Rockhouse. It is supposed to be really good."

--

Sab looked confused, "But none of us have swim suits..."

"All right, then let's go."
==================================
*Lilith looks a bit put off at being told she's hated, but turns to Senthose.*

L"I didn't bring my bathing suit. Why would I have?"

S"Then in lieu of fighting, we should scout the area. A few powerful Arrancar just went silent over in that direction, & someone entered Hueco Mundo that way."

L"Oh yeah. That's Noah. I guess we should go see what he wants."

S"Then we'll split into 2 groups. I'll go with Mortal, Astarte, & Yue, & you can go with Aroma & Sab."

L"Yue is dead."

S"What? Was he really killed by a stab to the testicles? That's...wow. And I thought my death was lame."
============================================
N"Not exactly."

*Noah hops down the hole.*

Astarte looked slightly taken back by the news of Yue's death, but quickly recovered to her neutral state.
