White sands, stained red. The smell of fresh Hollow flesh hanging in the air. A small Adjuchas, running, running from the carnage. Struck square in the back by a small blast of Hollow energy. Falling to the ground, a hole through its chest. A crack of Sonido, then footsteps. The noise stops. Then, tearing flesh and new blood splattering on the sands. Dripping from the Arrancar's chin. More tearing, more sands stained. Then silence again. Piercing eyes, and a grin.

Brago watched from a distance as the scene of carnage unfolded the arrancar before him devouring the flesh of the hollow like a rabid dog chewing at a stolen carcase. Stepping from the sand dune he hid behind he approached the arrancar unsure of his rank or anything else about the man. Hail who thy be?[/i] He watched the scene awaiting a response his hand on the hilt of his blade in case this hollow was truly rabid his senses on nothing but his next meal.

Hearing the other Arrancar, Kyoshin looked up from his meal, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood. The young but powerful Arrancar wore only his hakama and sandals, his chest shirtless and splattered in blood as he called out to Brago, "I'm Kyoshin Oscuro... Your commander."
Part of him might have been uncomfortable seen like this by an Arrancar he'd never before met, but he honestly didn't care about impressing anyone and didn't see a need to hide what he still was; a monster.

Brago closed the distance and stood a mere feet from the shirtless bloody Kyoshin. A fine meal i suppose though it would seem that you have left it unfinished please do not stop on my account.[/i] Brago plastered a crooked smile on his face though beneath the smile hidden within himself he was uneasy around this man. He had said commander though as far as he was aware there had been no commander save the Lord of the Deep himself. Commander you say? I follow none but the Lord of the Deep my master and mentor.[/i]

Kyoshin snorted. "Well, Commander's what they call me. I'm your precious Lord's lieutenant, his second hand." He briefly looked the other Arrancar up and down, noticing the tattoo. "Segundo, huh? Karzan probably likes having an Espada so loyal, considering the last one to have your position. I wonder if he'll keep you that way, or do what he did to me..."
He trailed off, then turned and kicked the corpse he'd just been eating. "Nevermind that, I've had my fill. It only take a bite to steal the largest chunk of an Adjuchas' power and potential. The rest is just over eating. So... You respect Karzan. Why?"

Brago watched as Kyoshin desecrated the corpse even more his face blank. He listened as he the man belittled his master and nearly reached for his sword before thinking better of it. There had to have been a reason this man was given the position of second in command. He stared blankly at Kyoshin for a moment as he asked the question of respect. He has power and in this world there is nothing better to have.[/i] He wasnt sure his explanation was sufficient but this Kyoshin didnt seem to like Karzan let alone respect him. He wondered as to why there was such ill blood flowing between the two of them.

Kyoshin laughed softly at Brago's explanation, noticing this seemed to be a touchy subject with the new Segunda. "Power? What if someone stronger came along? Someone who could take down the Lord of the Deep? Would you swear allegiance to the stronger one, then?
"I used to share your loyalty, Segunda. Karzan brought me into the Espada, and I revered him just as you do now. The Segunda of that time... didn't share my optimism. He tried to get me to see things his way, but I didn't listen. Not until he was gone, and Karzan decided it was better to make me his enemy, than his loyal dog. He raised me up, only to force me back down..."
Kyoshin was obviously absorbed in thought as he tried to explain his position, making eye contact again after a pause. "He's given you no reasons to doubt him yet, and I'm not sure if he ever will. Nor do I believe my words can do anything to sway you, try as I may, so I won't. But I will ask that you don't judge against me until you've heard my side of the story... What do you think, Segunda?"

Brago looked around he eyed his surroundings and seeing nothing took a seat upon the bleached white sands. This story had the air of being long so he decided to get himself comfortable. I will hear your story but i still reserve the right to pass judgement on what i hear.[/i] He picked at his teeth lighting a cigarette and leaning back on one elbow.

"Oh..." Kyoshin looked bemused as Brago lit up and sat down, as if ready to hear Kyoshin's life story. "It's not much of a story, if that's what you think. Unlike Karzan, who can bend your mind with a touch of his finger and make you think or see whatever he desires, I cannot show you what I've seen and felt. All I have to say is that I once saw him as you do, but that image of him as a perfect leader was... betrayed."
Falling back into the sands with a plop, Kyoshin sat up with his legs out and continued speaking. "Back when I was a Hollow, Karzan killed everyone in my pack. He was a Vasto Lorde Menos, far stronger than any of us, and the killing was not for his benefit. He didn't need to consume to evolve. It was purely for his enjoyment, slaughtering weaklings for fun. I was the only one who survived, by hiding. But I swore that I would grow stronger, strong enough that one day I would be able to avenge my comrades. And so I grew. But when I was at his level... Karzan had already become even stronger. He was an Arrancar, the Lord of the Deep, and once again I had no chance of defeating him, so I joined him.
"I tried to forget about my past, and in my eyes I saw Karzan... Like he was a father to me. I sparred with him a number of times, as I'm sure you will soon, however, he seems to prefer simply hurting me, rather than making us stronger. Should I ever get the upper hand in a fight, he lays a finger on me, and I'm forced to attack and slowly mutilate myself. He's made me relive parts of my past, parts we both know hurt me, purely in the interest of building up my hate and rage. It's like he wants me to be his enemy... Perhaps he believes my power will grow faster if I hate him... Or maybe he simply wants to pull my strings like a puppet and use me. "

Brago sat and listened with attentiveness his cigarette burning down as he inhaled the smoke at regular intervals. He grew curious as Kyoshin spoke of Karzan's ability to show images and manipulate the person of his choosing. Waiting for him to finish his eyes scanned the horizons watching for any signs of remaining life. As he finished his narrative Brago spoke up a curiosity that had been eating at him finally coming free. How does Karzan do it? How does he manipulate these beings with such precision?[/i]

Kyoshin rolled his eyes. "It's the power reserved for his position. He can access anyone's mind and control it by simply touching them with a finger. He can add, twist, or remove memories, force actions or complete wipe your mind, as long as he maintains contact."
Dragging his feet closer and standing up straight, Kyoshin resumed as if the question had never been asked, "So, perhaps you understand my position, perhaps you think I'm a fool and Karzan is our one and only Lord. I've done all I can to explain my reasoning, what you decide is up to you."

Brago racked his brain trying to decide the answer that would be best suited for everyone. Thinking of nothing he stood tossing the remnants of his cigarette to the ground at his feet. His face was set the expressionless look in his eyes unnerving to some. He remained quiet as he unsheathed Gran Lobo and stepped away from Kyoshin shoving the blade deep into the sand. Placing his left hand upon the top of the pommel the crackling energy of a cero crackled in his hand. Unleashing the blase he watched as the large ball of energy burrowed through the sand like an enourmous worm. The sides of the new tunnel shimmered with the reflective light. Jumping into the hole he retreived Gran Lobo and sheathed the blade. Your story was indeed enlightening but i will still not take sides in your power struggle i must wait and learn more of what is happening.[/i]

"And I cannot blame you," Kyoshin replied, walking over to the hole Brago had created and peering into it. "One should not base his actions merely on the words and convictions of others... He needs his own reason to fight."
He paused, then looked back at Brago and gestured towards the hole, raising his eyebrows expectantly. "The purpose of this, being? And since you have mine, and I not yours, what is your name, Segundo?"

Brago peered down into the hole created as well. My name is lost ive have long since forgotten my true identity but people call me Brago, Brago Kiryuu. As for the hole it is mere destruction. Pure unbridled destruction in its self the only thing that no matter what happens will always remain and will always be pure. It comforts me the purity of such destruction.[/i] He looked over at the Second in Command as he pulled a small bleached white pack of cigarettes pulling one from it he lit and inhaled the smoke the sweetend scent of tobacco surrounding him. Would you like one?[/i] He holds the pack up offering it to Kyoshin.

"Pure, unbridled destruction, huh?" Kyoshin asked, grinning amusedly as he took a cigarette from the pack. Then running his fingers along the edge of his sword so that they bled, he began charging an immensely powerful Cero in the hand not holding the fag, and he turned back to Brago, saying, "You need ta think a 'lil bigger, man..."
Holding the huge mass of energy in his hand, he brought his cigarette close and lit it, then unleashed it upon the desert before them, watching as it instantly melted the sands in its wake, creating a stretch miles long of the same crystalline substance the Segunda had created with his Cero. Grinning as he watched the Cero spiral off into the distance, he took a long puff from the fag and coughed softly, overwhelmed slightly by the sensation in his lungs. "This a human thing?" he asked, his eyes tearing slightly as he took a few more breaths, the smoke itself slowly growing on him. Taking it out of his mouth and inspecting it, Kyoshin watched as the lit end slowly burned down the length of the cigarette, releasing more of the fumes into his airways, though not in the same concentration as before. "It's interesting..."
EDIT: ['cuz lighting a cigarette with a Gran Rey was f***in retarded, and I wanted to use that word]

Brago smiled as he watched Kyoshin choke on the smoke. Taking a deep inhale he watched the end burn down a bit and held the smoke in about thirty seconds before releasing it. The smoke billowed from his mouth like a teapot emitting steam. As the smoke ended he spoke Yes they call it a cigarette there are many like it all different flavors and styles but this...[/i] He held up the cigarette to emphasize his point. Is one of the stronger brands i have found. I forget what they call it though.[/i] Taking another drag he watched as the cigarette burned down to the filter before he flicked it out.

"Does that mean... You've spent alot of time in the Realm of Humans?" Kyoshin turned again to Brago, raising his eyebrows curiously as he brought the cigarette back to his lips and held it in his teeth. Taking in a long draw, he then resumed, his teeth still together to hold the joint in place. "I mean, you can'ta been doin' this as a Hollow... You sure pick up habits quick, Segundo."
Eventually, the cigarette grew so short it nearly burnt his lips, so with a sudden puff, Kyoshin shot the thing out of his mouth and onto the sands, where it continued to smoulder on it's own as the onix Arrancar rose to his feet. "You wanna test out that sword a'yours? I mean, you will need to defend you position should a challenger arise... Espada don't keep there places with good looks," he added with a laugh, a wicked gleam in his eye as he unsheathed his own sword, watching as its black surface perfectly reflected the moonlight.

Brago took a drag on the cigarette before flicking it out into the sands to join Kyoshin's. I have spent some time but not a lot in the human realm. A menacing smile crossed Brago's lips at the mention of a fight. Drawing his obsidian blade he watched as the matching black blades shimmered in the moonlight. The reflections of the blade casting dark shadows across the sands. I would be happy to. As you say good looks dont keep a spot for one such as us. Stepping back he lowered the blade to his right side the razor like edges glimmering as it moved.
Taking a moment to focus his energy he shot forward swinging the sword in an upward arc aiming to cleave the arrancar in half from the groin up. That wasnt the end of the attack though as he used sonido to appear directly behind Kyoshin and using centrifugal force swung his sword down in an arc to aim for the right shoulder. Landing on his feet he shot forward with a flat blade thrust unsure if any of the attacks would land but hoping something would come from this fight.

"Another black blade... Interesting." As Brago moved forward and slashed upwards, Kyoshin lowered his own sword and simply 'stepped' forward, using his superior reflexes and Hierro to stop the Segundo's slashes, Kyoshin effectively standing upon his opponent's sword as he aimed a punch square in the Segundo's chest. Backflipping off of Brago's sword, he let the next hit actually land on his shoulder, staggering slightly but taking no visible damage as he held the sword in place with his left hand and swung with the flat of his blade at Brago's ribs, reasoning a couple broken bones were better than being sliced in two. Letting go, the next hit he caught with his free hand again as he grinned, waiting a few moments before casually advising, "Perhaps your Resurreccion will do the trick?"

Brago growled as the punch landed in his chest knocking him backwards slightly. As he recovered he caught a flat blade to his side cracking a few ribs. Snarling at the advice his sword still held his reiatsu flared as a savagery unlike Brago won over. Levanta la cabeza Gran Lobo The blade melted as his reiatsu darkened to a pure black shield blocking him from view. As the shield fell Brago stood before kyoshin looking down on him his height having grown to a startling 9 feet tall. His entire body was covered with dark fur and his mouth had extended to a tooth filled snout. From the sides of his head grew large horns that curved back away from him. From each hand grew sharp claws.
Ressurection:
Base Stats + Master Release + Release Type = Total
Reiatsu: 135+65+10=210
Attack: 170+65+15=250
Speed: 130+65+15=220
Weapon Skill: 125+65+10=200
His feral eyes closing on Kyoshin standing in front of him he laughed a deep guttural laugh and lifted his right hand. His palm facing Kyoshin he charged a bloody red ball in its center. Just as the energy reached its peak Brago sonidoed directly behind Kyoshin and fired a Cero point blank in the center of his back. |
