Kuroi watched with interest as the blood of the Adjuchas had formed a smaller hollow, much similar to those they had defeated earlier. “Try to think of a way of killing him with your kido, without drawing too much blood” the girl had told her. So this Adjuchas did have an ability to regenerate through blood, creating the smaller hollows from its own bodily fluids. Kuroi would bite her lip and the large Adjuchas would catch her attention. "Blinding me didn't work. I know what you can do, shinigami. I will finish you off right now now that I can see you...." the large hollow would continue to intimidate her. Now with one of its eyes gone she had a perfect plan to get rid of this hollow. A smirk had drawn across her countenance as she watched the large hollow come straight at her. One quick shunpo would bring her upon the roof of a nearby building, behind the hollow. It veered around to face her and a smile came to her. She removed her hand off of the sheath of her zanpakuto and readied herself.
She would use more of an offense technique this time. She glared at the hollow before launching into attack. She extended her right index finger and middle finger out, gathering reiatsu within the finger tip. She aimed her finger at the head of the hollow, towards its other eye. If this kido hit the spot just right it could bring the damn thing down. Her fingers folded themselves into her palm as the smirk on her face grew even larger. Her left hand's palm lay rested upon the wrist of her right hand. Her finger tips grew a bright blue-white energy within them, a ball that grew in size upon the tips. While all this energy came together the incantation found itself coming from her mouth. "White chariot! Blue soldiers, rustled leaves, thirteen black clouds, unleash the sky! Hado no Yon: Byakurai!" Suddenly, the stream of light would strike forwards, straight towards the eye of the Adjuchas. Kuroi was at a distance that was close enough for the damn monster to not be able to dodge it and even if it tried it would most likely just hit its head and kill it anyways. She looked towards the other girls who fought alongside her as her kido hit its mark. "I'm quite sure I blinded him. One of you want the honors of stabbing into its head?" she would shout as the Adjuchas screeched in agony. "Damn you Shinigami. That power of yours... My eye is gone now and all there now is a hole with empty space!" A smirk came across her face at what she had done, now she would let the others finish the bastard.

Masami edged forward, her blade ready. The smaller, newly formed hollow had turned around and was currently eying her, ready to attack at any given moment. She was wounded, and therefore would not take even this small fry lightly. Just as she felt herself about to move to engage a blade came from above, simply destroying the hollow, with no visible effort on behalf of the wielder. Bewildered slightly, she lowered her stance once more and look up to the beautiful red haired shinigami whom had just dispatched her quarry.
Upon hearing her name she bowed low to the woman. She had no idea she was in the presence of a noble. She thought she had perhaps recognised her before, but it was not the time to stop, stare and wonder. While her own family was certainly prestigious they themselves were not a spec on the true nobles. Their power was unrivalled, and it was a power that should be respected, even feared. She normally in this instance would have knelt, however this was a battle, and it was not the place for such formalities.
“I am Masami Haruka, 13th division.” She stated formally, raising her head so as her explanation might be more clear “The hollows seems to have no powers aside from its blood, and regeneration. Its blood when spilled seems to be form the smaller hollows, like this one you just dispatched. Even only a small pool from slashing its face created one. If we are reckless enough as to severe a limb who knows how many will be created, or even if detached body parts may produce more.” She explained, trying with only margin success to talk over any pain that might have escaped into her voice.
She then heard further commotion from the battle. She suppressed a grin, which might look as over confidence to her superior. Now the hollow really was blinded. Plus she seemed to have done it with a lightning based kido. Seared flesh did not bleed. ‘Very clever’ she mused mentally. Now the hollow was vulnerable to them, without its eyes, which it seemed to be unable to regenerate, it was a question of landing precise strikes to bring it down effectively. She turned to her officer.
“I will back you up on your assault, Anzu-sama” she said, with a short nod. She immediately ran to circle the hollow, waiting for a moment when she might be needed, whilst doing her best to drown out the pain coming from her right arm. It was as she was running she noticed something that ran her blood cold. The arm that had slashed her had been crawling across the floor, she had thought nothing of it until just now, when she saw where it had been heading. To the, now bubbling, eye and fragments of the mask she had slashed out in her opening strike. Moments later another hollow was standing before them. She tensed. Silently wondering what exactly would happen if they killed the hollow.
Surely it could not break into more of these… right?
Aya was surprised to see another 13th division member out here but after all it is a good thing a squad member was here, not that she didn't trust other division members but hers was preferred. She introduced herself as Masami Haruka and was a pretty girl. Masami had long spiky black hair and purple tints she saw earlier thanks to the light reflected. Aya heard only a little about the Haruka family, she only knew they were from a line of prestigious shinigami and was happy to have such a person at their side. "Nice to meet you." the noble stated with a slight nod with her head. The girl bowed deeply when hearing the Anzu name and almost immediately she would react "Please, you don't have to bow." and became nervous, all this protocols, rules and regulation around the nobles made her like that. She was a noble but didn't see any difference between her kind and for instance Rukon residents apart from the riches they get.
Masami began to explain the hollow and its powers “The hollows seems to have no powers aside from its blood, and regeneration. Its blood when spilled seems to be form the smaller hollows, like this one you just dispatched. Even only a small pool from slashing its face created one. If we are reckless enough as to severe a limb who knows how many will be created, or even if detached body parts may produce more.”, from her voice and posture she could guess the girl was hurt from the battle. Now that she knew its powers she was really glad about not rushing in to cut off its limbs or anything or else they would be at a disadvantage now. This power was however something troubling, Aya did not had any useful kido for this kind of battle.
Aya had to ponder on how to do kill the beast but also didn't have time to do it, she will have to think while attacking and figure something out. The green Adjuchas looked weak in comparison to this one even though they were both Adjuchas class, each of their powers were different just like shinigami. Suddenly a lightning hit the hollow on its another eye, the only eye left was gone, the hollow was blind. There were always many kinds of ways to see and figure out a strategy when blinded and no doubt this Adjuchas wasn't a fool. She had to agree though that lightning was an excellent choice, the other shinigami did well to use it even though this kido was weak. Now was the chance they should take but will it be enough?
“I will back you up on your assault, Anzu-sama” Masami would inform her superior, the girl probably had faith in her even though she didn't have a plan yet. Aya didn't want to disappoint Masami and so she would stand proud "Lets do this." she said and then dashed forwards towards the beast with all her speed, her two zanpakuto would be brought up in a cross cut at the Adjuchas head trying to behead it. She almost got it when the hollow would dash to the side and slash at her left side with its dangerous claws. Blood would steam out as she got her wound, she would jump back away from the hollow "Tssk!". In some way or another it seems like the beast was able to see her attack and counter it. How could it possible know where and how to respond while being blinded she wondered.
Another frog like hollow appeared out of the blue, she registered its reiatsu. Upon closer inspection of the Adjuchas she noticed something strange about its skin, sometimes the skin would have rounded marks then an eye appeared on it. So this was how it could see her attack, the hollows power was quite unique and annoying at that. Aya would prefer it to not have such powers but couldn't do anything about this. There were two hollows now and their distance merely 10 m. She decided to use Yoruhoshis abilities once more "San ken Tsuki" her blades dissipated into golden and silver powder leaving only handles and wires. She would now sent only the silver powder to attack the newly formed frog like hollow easily destroying it as the powder touched its mask while she let her golden powder stay around her.
Kuroi watched with amazement in her eyes. So this little bastard had eyes all over its body to see her. The girl had the sudden urge to introduce herself to the others but decided it was best not to. They were in the middle of a battle, not at tea-time. Kuroi was thinking up a plan on what to do with this hollow, how to make her part of the battle noticeable and actually help in it. She did not exactly want to be left out on the sidelines like usual. She needed to show her true strength, earn a rightful place in the 2nd division. The girl would bite her lip slightly, thinking about how to handle this situation. Kuroi had the realization in her mind that she did in fact not have many kido in her disposal but she could manage with the few that she had. Once she became stronger, she would strive to learn even more.
Suddenly, a thought came to her mind. She had another hado that had a slightly larger range and it dealt crushing damage. That could possibly slow it down. Hmm... she thought to herself. She would flip herself to a building closer to the Adjuchas. She wanted to make sure she was close enough. The Adjuchas seemed distracted enough with the other shinigami attacking it, its back turned to her. She would launch her attack now from this rooftop. She extended one hand, ready to chant the incantation. "Storm, powerful, demanding; gather in heaven and descend upon us mortals. Rear your head, and unleash your wrath! Hado no Nana: Kosharashi!" she would say each word clearly and audible, to make sure this technique actually performed correctly. Wind swirled around her outstretched hand as she spoke, forming a type of square shape. Once she finished speaking, blue light would form around her hand. It's power was strong, Kuroi could tell right off the bat that from the feeling in her hand. The square formation of wind rapidly extending forwards, aimed straight for the back of the Adjuchas. The strength of the wind was amazing as it hit the Adjuchas, just barely making the mark. The Adjuchas tried to move out of the way but it came quickly. The attack didn't deal the amount of damage Kuroi had hoped, as the Adjuchas had partially dodged it. "Damn" she murmured to herself. She really had counted on it hitting square on but she could not win every time, now could she? A smile struck across her face as she realized that the attack had at least partially hit it. The wind force managed to blow a few store signs away, luckily not causing extensive damage to the home front below.
"You like to play rough, eh, Shinigami?" the Adjuchas snarled at her, feeling the pain of her attack. All she managed to do was release a smirk at its sort of intimidation. She would not take any shit from this bastard. She was stronger than that, and now she hoped that her allied could help to finish this monster off.
Hadō No. 7: Kosharashi (Way of Destruction: Withering Tempest) Type: Destruction Art. Description: The user extends their hand, and begins the chant for the technique. As the user chants the incantation, a large amount of wind quickly swirls around the user's hand, forming a square shape around the user's hand. As the incantation finishes, a blue light completely envelops the user's hand, and the square formation around the hand will then rapidly extend outwards. With gale-force winds being released in a straight line around the size of a square meter from the square formation around the user's hand, the caster will attempt to strike the opponent with the wind force to deal crushing damage to them. Incantation: Storm, powerful, demanding; gather in heaven and descend upon us mortals. Rear your head, and unleash your wrath! Hado no Nana: Kosharashi! Restrictions: ---
Masami watched Aya’s attack, waiting to assist at any given moment. She did not know what to expect from her, but she had every bit of faith she would decide the best course of action. After all, for generations her family had assisted one of the noble houses. She would not deviate from this path now. She was able to make out the attack. It was a good idea. To cut off the creatures head. Even supposing more smaller hollow were generated they had to destroy the purple abomination before victory was even in sight. However the slight problem came when she was unable to keep up with either Aya or the hollow. She dashed forward but only was half way there when Aya was struck back and her attack failed.
She swerved to see Aya land behind her, now realising her own positioning was most unfortunate. She turned again to see more smaller hollows before her eying her maliciously. She barely had time to slash out at them as they leapt toward her when they were consumed in a silver mist. She instinctively took a step back from the hollow. Her sword was the worst tool against this enemy. Not unless she could lob its ugly head off. But she wasn’t nearly as fast as Anzu-sama, who too was too slow to perform it in a direct assault.
Snapping back around to keep her eyes on the hollow, she felt a force from its direction. At first she had assumed it was some sort of power attack, much like what the green hollow had displayed. She was just in time to see a kido hit the hollow. The hollow moved to avoid it but from Masami’s position it looked mainly as though it had hit. There was a gurgling crunching sound, apparently from the effect of the attack. It certainly sounded painful but the hollow merely grunted in response. However in its single step after, the mild limp on its left leg was not unnoticed by Masami. But then she could not be certain how able it was of healing internal damage. If nothing else hopefully it would be a strain, either in its pain or its spiritual energy to heal the damage.
"You like to play rough, eh, Shinigami?" It snarled at the other shinigami. The hollow began to rumble, like a low growl sound of sorts. Masami's eyes narrowed, unfamiliar with what to make of the sound.
“You little shits…” the hollow began in a coarse voice “You want to mess with me?!” It’s voice rising in a manic way did not go unnoticed by Masami “FINE THEN, LET’S BRING THE PAIN!” it yelled in what sounded like a joyous shriek, followed by sinister cackling.
It then wrapped its arms tightly around itself. Masami edged a little further back. The purple hollows dragged its claws around its back and body, lacerating its own skin. Masami’s expression twisted in disgust at the graphic horror before her. Blood splattered on the floor and oozed from the cuts and gashes all over its body. All the while the hollow continued to laugh insanely. Not at all seemingly bothered by the agony it must surely be in. But Masami had no time to worry about such things. Before her the blood began to shift, quickly taking shape. She rose her sword. There was no sense in retreating unless she were to flee. The only damage she could inflict would be in melee.
But then something else caught her eye. The wounds were not healing as the last ones did. Instead the bloody mess that was its skin was also bubbling and shifting. Masami could only watch as arms, mouths and more eyes began to cover the hollow. It was quickly coated in maws and claws. If there was ever a chance for her to attack it before, it was certainly gone now. It was unlikely anyone would be able to do anything to it at a melee range now. She could only hope Anzu-sama’s shikai could cleave through a neck whilst in its dust state. If not their only hope now would be hoping to wait out it’s spiritual energy, and merely hope that it could not produce more ‘friends’ without it.
The hollows before her formed. She focused on them now instead. They snarled and growled menacingly, obviously about to attack her. She resisted a confident smirk. She might’ve had a damage right arm, but she was far beyond the likes of these still. The first leapt at her, but she already had a plan for it. She leapt herself on the spot higher than the frog-like hollow, rotating in the air she swift slashed her blade through its face. She didn’t get time to land before the second was upon her. She no longer had the momentum to slash it so she settling for kicking away from it, narrowly avoiding a clumsy swipe at her direction. She had only just landed when the third charged into her. She was barely fast enough to place the flat side of the blade between them, saving her from being a snack. As the hollows charge began to slow she pushed away with her blade twisting it as she did so again critically damaging the mask. As she came to her final halt the second hollow was again leaping at her, and this time she didn’t have the time to move. So instead, in a swift precise motion threw her zanpakuto at the hollow. The blade impaling it’s face. The corpse came crashing down next to her, where she casually reached down and removed her sword from its body.
She looked before her.
Three down eight to go, at a glance. She raised her sword again. She would play whatever part her allies would have for her. For now she was well suited to fighting the small fry. Her intention would be to protect their own triumph card from wasting any energy on them.
This hollow proved to be really something, not only could it create more smaller hollows which were a good distraction, it had great regenerative powers then it could somehow spawn eyes on its skin all around its body. Aya was looking at its skin and more eyes popped out, though annoying and hard to fight for a normal shinigami her shikai was perfect for such a beast, after all it could blind from just looking at the powder but it took a while to work. She will have to make the powder surround it like she did with green Adjuchas earlier to blind all of its eyes altogether. While making up another strategy on how to cut off its head she would hear the other girls words, she was saying them like a robot which meant incantation.
She could head a sounds and a kido shot towards the hollow who seems to have been hit but was just barely hurt by the power, the kido wasn't as powerful as the user thought it was and served to distract the hollow. Aya would sneak the silver powder just behind the hollow keeping it in suspense while golden powder was to protect her. "You like to play rough, eh, Shinigami?" the hollow would say with a strange grin on its face then began to make weird noises and howls “You little shits…” it added then its voice was maniacally disturbing“You want to mess with me?!”. This hollow gave her the chills, it was about to use some kind of a new power or was it about to release some kind of hidden strength?
The hollow wrapped its hands around its back then began to scratch the skin making it bleed out, one look at its face indicated the enjoyment it had, this hollow was definitely strange but then it hit her. It created the same effect as if it was cut using a zanpakuto or anything really just to create more minions. Blood began to drop at a fast rate, it began to boil or so it looked like, then small hollow would grow from them. It was quite a show, the Adjuchas was now laughing like mad while all those hollows were forming around him, from the looks of it they were identical to those frog like ones earlier so they shouldn't expect anything more powerful, just more of them. Aya could dispatch them with ease, almost with no effort but then she would only fall to the hollows traps.
If she attacked the smaller ones now, the Adjuchas would be free to do whatever it wished meaning more danger, Aya had to go right for it now but then something else happened. The hollows wounds were bubbling and soon more mouths, claws and eyes would grow out of them. Masami began to attack those little hollows that formed and that was enough a signal for her to continue her assault, spreading out the powder around its back she made no room for it to move out from back then began to spear the rest of the powder around it as well using the blind strategy. Even if it had more claws, eyes and mouths the results were still the same. She made a little room for her wires which shot out of her right zanpakuto towards the hollows neck which it was able to dodge with an unorthodox way.
It grabbed the wire with both of its hands, Aya immediately let her powder attack those arms and severed them before the hollow could do anything else. So attacking with wires was not the way to go, it was much harder to bind it in but it was surrounded by the powder, Aya was still holding the blade at its throat. The hollow tried to slash quickly in all directions using its new claws but to no avail, powder was much stronger and couldn't be blown away that easily. 3 seconds were off and then the hollow would look around confused " What have you done to my eyes again shinigami!" . For someone looking from afar it would look like she was playing with the hollow, its power was no match for her shikai. It appears 4 more hollows were created when she cut off its hands and when it tried to escape, they now approached the her.
All of them jumped right at the shinigami who had powder to protect her, they just formed in front of her then all 4 hollow would hit them tearing them apart. "This is the end for you hollow." Aya said with a proud voice then directed every bit of silver powder that was around the hollow to fly at it starting to cut off its body but mainly its head and mask. Soon the hollow was gone and there was only its blood left, this way had to kill it but she was wrong. Blood would bubble and soon started to form into the same Adjuchas again. "Hahaha, what a nice pain. Thank you shinigami." it would say in a sadistic way then laughed like crazy.
Kuroi was running low on options as to what to do with this bastard. She could easily tell that the other two shinigami were much powerful than Kuroi was herself. She had stood back and watched the Adjuchas strange powers. She noticed the attack by the double sworded shinigami had meant to kill it, and she could see the expression on that shinigami's face when her attack did not work and the Adjuchas reformed itself. Kuroi bit her lip, at a loss at what to do. She in a way felt intimidated by the hollow. She had another kido, but this Adjuchas was so powerful, it could not possibly work with a Adjuchas of this strength. Simple sword attacks did not work and Kuroi had no other way of killing the bastard. She sighed slightly trying to think of a way. Perhaps she would be able to distract the bastard while the other shinigami figured out a way to attack. She did not have anything that would do any real damage within the extent of her weak power. The two below fighting on the ground had true power, unlike Kuroi herself. She had to become stronger than this.
A sudden look of reality appeared upon the face of Kuroi. Eight smaller hollows that had formed from the blood of the Adjuchas had come around. A quick shunpo brought her down to level with the other shinigami and within a distance of the smaller hollows. These hollows did not look as strong as the previous small hollows she had fought so she focused her sensed upon one of the hollows and took long strides towards the back it, bringing her zanpakuto out in the process. She was sure that she would be able to kill these damn things with ease. A jump into the air near the first hollow she went after caused it to turn towards the side. It had been distracted with the other shinigami and she quickly brought her sword down upon it. She was correct, these bastards were easy to kill. Seeing as they kept on appearing, the rate was too fast for it to be too powerful. The little shit disappeared and she turned to face the rest of them. Oh this would be fun.
Masami had to settle for dodging her numerous foes. She was greatly outnumbered, and so no kill would be worth her getting hurt further. She had already been a fool for being so careless as to allow her current wound. She shot back, ducking slow to avoid the claws of the leaping hollow. She slashed after it clipping a leg, before twirling around on the spot to face her next attacker. She bolted to the side, again on getting a glance blow of a counter strike on her enemy. This was good. If she could keep it up her enemies would slow and slow, and become far more manageable.
She could hear the larger, much more powerful hollow and Anzu-sama making quite a commotion. All she noted was that it seemed to be going in their favour. That was all she needed to continue her own mission with certainty that if she could keep it up then that would suffice. ‘Still’ She thought ‘If only I could finish these a little faster. If only I could push myself a little harder, I might be of assistance of where it might be of greater value…’ she glanced at the purple hollow before resuming her dance of death with her hollow enemies. It was certainly a powerful hollow, notably more so than even its green cousin whose blasts shook the very earth. She thought of no value in dealing the killing blow. But certainly in fighting such an enemy one might learn more of themselves, and might learn more advanced abilities in battle. In a blinding flurry she cleaved through the face of one of her hollow attackers, her face a picture of cool ambition.
“This is the end for you hollow” she heard. Surprised her ally might be so powerful for that to be true she snapped around, looking at the hollow being entirely consumed by her zanpakuto’s power. Soon only a large pool of blood was left of the once hideously strong hollow. She prepared for many more hollows to spring to life. They probably would not with the maker deceased however it never hurt to exercise caution. In an instant she felt one of the others go for her. Taking an aggressive step forward, she weaved low letting the replica leap pass harmlessly overhead. She slashed at the hollow making a new cut on its body. Again it was nothing fatal but every strike was another point to her advantage.
“Hahaha…” She heard behind her. ‘No that’s impossible…’ she thought, she Knew she had seen it die. There was no possible way that its regeneration was so advanced as to come back from nothing, right? She slowly turned to see the hollow reborn, the pool of blood gone, only some still faintly coating it’s skin, trickling to the floor.
“What a nice pain. Thank you shinigami.” her eyes grew wide. ‘Is this hollow immortal?’ she thought in complete shock. What hope was there if it was capable of reforming from nothing?! She was barely able to avoid the next attack, stumbling back off balance a foot shot out and knocked her into the floor. She was able to roll back onto her feet before an advantage was pressed on her but that was not the issue. She bit her lip hard.
‘Calm down…’ she mentally insisted. ‘So long as you can weed out his underlings his power is only defensive.’ she continued, reminding herself that if they could wait him out there was no chance of him being stronger than all three of them.
She felt the nameless shinigami leap beside her, reinforcing her confidence. They were two now, and their enemies were decreasing in numbers. She allowed herself a small smile. She brandished her sword before gripping it once again. This was nothing they could not handle.
Now this was beyond believable, there was something really fishy about this beasts abilities for sure. How can a hollow regenerate from those injuries, but then she thought of a theory. Since the beast can make additional limbs and hollows out of its blood then why can't it do the reverse and turn into a blood-pool just before her strike? After turning into a blood-pool it would simply turn back into its original state once more. This means they will only have to get it at an unexpected time, she could use her speed to the advantage. Her allies got together to fend off those smaller hollows, it seemed like they were doing pretty good this time. This time the first shinigami she met didn't use a kido but instead charged in with her zanpakuto killing a beast.
Aya recalled the powder back to her then with a quick shunpo she charged and appeared on the Adjuchas left side then wrapped one of its hands with wire from right zanpakuto, wire from left would shoot forwards to wrap its right feet. This was all quick and the hollow wouldn't be able to dodge them, Aya then directed golden powder to swallow the hollow whole cutting it into pieces but there was again a pool of blood which began to bubble again. It bubbled and then formed back to its state, there was no surprise this time and confirmed her theory. Just before being hit the Adjuchas limbs she binded got loose like it disappeared. "So you turn yourself into a pool of blood before getting hit." she said in a proud voice also being loud enough so both shinigami would hear them as well getting them informed.
"Hahaha, well done Shinigami. You figured my abilities but do you have what it takes to do anything about it?" it laughed then created two hollows to attack her. Both hollows were no challenge to her, the silver powder would engulf both and destroy them. "You should know this is futile hollow, no matter how many you send against me the result is the same." Aya was amazed how stupid this hollow was, like it never learned a lesson. She immediately charged at the hollow increasing her speed a little and directed both powder to attack at the same time, left and right down and up. The powder was everywhere while she shot right hand wire to wrap around the hollows body. It disappeared once again into a pool of blood then started to form.
This time she didn't give it a chance to fully form, instead she quickly attack with both powders into what was already formed, this only slowed its regeneration but it could still form up and so she decided to mix in both golden and silver powder into the blood. When the form was complete the hollow laughed again informing them how invincible it was and soon realized something wrong, the powder made all its movements hurtful and took out its concentration. Aya wrapped its body with wire again and attacked with both powders once more and this time she really did it, the hollow didn't turn into a blood pool in time. This result only meant it was destroyed, blood would spill out everywhere, she stayed there to observe for any bubbling but since that didn't happen Aya turned to her allies.
Both of them were together and fight side by side, shinigami teamwork shouldn't be underestimated. Suddenly she registered 20 spiritual presences appeared 10 m from her. When turning around she spotted 20 frog like hollows screeching at her direction then they scattered around the battlefield, all the blood was gone which only meant they appeared from it. Was the hollow really dead or was this its last power, they will only find out when they get all of these beasts. Four of them leap at her from right side but they were too slow, Ayas golden powder disposed of them almost too easily. Another three went after her from the left side though they touched silver powder again meeting the same fate their colleagues did. Ten hollows were running towards the two shinigami still fighting the others, remaining 3 sneaked behind Aya.
Kuroi had watched in awe at double sworded shinigami. She bit her lip in slight admiration. She glanced over and saw the other girl a few feet away. Suddenly, she could tell that the duel sworded girl was launching an attack. She quickly turned the direction the girl was in. A large amount of frog hollows were coming towards them. She quickly took a count of them, there was nine or ten. She quickly held her blade in front of her. What the hell?! I thought the damn thing was dead. Is this its final form? A giant herd of hollows? she thought to herself. She prepared for them to attack as they ran towards her. They seemed to be as easy to kill as the previous small hollows that she had gotten. A smirk crossed her face. Oh, this would be fun.
She quickly ran a few meters away from the girl. She tried to distance herself from her, so hopefully they would not all attack just her. As she suspected, half the batch came towards her and half towards the other girl. The first hollow approached her and attempted an attack. She dodged with ease and slashed down on it. It had tried to dodge but had barely made it. She still managed a blow on it. She noticed the others come, so she had to get rid of them quickly. She veered to the side slightly towards the one that she had just hit. She brought her zanpakuto down on it once more, more easily this time and defeated it. There were four remaining and two came rushing towards her from one side, the other two seeming to only stand back. "Heh." she could kill these damn things easily. There were too many for them to be too strong. She performed a swift jump behind them as they came towards her and brought her zanpakuto down on the nearest one, defeating it. The remaining two that had come towards her previously quickly turned around to face her. One of them ran towards her and a side slice from her zanpakuto knocked off its two arms. It screeched in pain before she brought her sword down upon it once more. Two down, three to go. The remaining one of the group that attacked came at her with full power and slashed out at her. She had not expected it and was sent flying backwards, hitting a building with a slight 'thud'. She caught her breath for a moment before standing up and running towards it. A quick stabbing motion with her zanpakuto brought it through the hollow, killing it. Now there were just two more to kill.
