Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elliot was wandering around Karakura. He was holding a black umbrella, while drinking a cold coffee specifically a frappe. He stopped then stared up the sky. His blue eyes narrowed as he felt a heavy pressure that currently occured in the atmosphere. He felt a sting from his accursed left eye, it suddenly twitched.

"Is it them again?" He murmured, while staring up at the darkened sky.

A pair of feet stood out of a cafe as a black-haired man stared up into the sky. He was wearing a tight blue scarf which seemed inappropriate for this time of the year, but the rest of his clothes were obviously that of a rebellious type. His red eyes glinted in the light as he watched the clouds above with curiousity.

Finally spanning out of a daydream state, he brought his head back down and continued down the footpath to deal with his daily work.

"...Hollows....no, too strong...It has to be them again. They're coming." A single figure whispered to himself, heading up along the sidwalk of a bridge. His street clothes already in a bag, Saito stood in his quincy uniform. It was a fairly quiet side of town, so he was confident that he wouldn't be seen by anyone he knew. Looking around from the peak of the bridge, all he could see were some other humans, and a few wholes floating around innocently. "All these people and wholes...and not a Shinigami in sight. They'll leave us to our fates before they come...clean up the stragglers while we all suffer..." Clenching his left hand, his cross began to glow a bit, ready to form his bow at a moments notice. "On my honor as a quincy...there won't be a single casualty. That, I swear."

Continuing down the bridge, he kept his senses open to all else, ready to go to wherever fights would eventually break out.

Alpha stood still on the footpath as he saw a new group of Hollows devouring the souls of the living around him. He was unsure if they were the same as the Hollows he encountered in the past, because of their abnormal mechanical body parts, but they still retained their white masks upon their faces.

One of them noticed Alpha and flew towards him with its beak ready to strike. Instead of using his zanpakuto sheathed on his side, he flexed his right arm back and then flung it at the Hollow's beak, smashing into bits. His fist hurt a little more than when he did it with an ordinary Hollow, so he assumed these were more powerful. In the distance, he noticed a lone man upon the bridge.

A deafening scream echoes through the town as the shy opens like a curtain. Stepping from the black gate are three menos grande hollows. They trample over the town crushing cars as well as any slow people before them. Aizen has only sent the grunts so far. Wave after wave of the flying metallic hollows suck the souls from the living beings.

After a few minutes of soul sucking. A few of the metallic hollows open up a vent on their back. They are sucking in spiritual energy before they slowly transform into standing hollows with some sort of zanpakuto. Aizen had mayuri working on the weapon in order to capture souls and kill shinigami. Little did the scientist know that it would lead to his own death.

Suddenly, there was a deafingly roar as Alpha stared back at the Menos Grande in the distance. His eyes narrowed in disgust as he began to assume there was more to this invasion than just a bunch of Hollows mucking about. He drew his zanpakuto from his sheath, releasing his spiritual pressure into the atmosphere.

However, he ran in a different direction away from the Menos Grande. If their presence is enough to bring shinigami to the world of the living, then he'd rather avoid both sides. He was a match against the large Hollows - he didn't want to let the shinigami know of his existence and there's a chance they'll either take him back or execute him.

Along the way down the street, he managed to take down a couple of the machine Hollows with one swipe to reduce their numbers and the threat against the innocent civilians.

"You said it..." he chuckled softly, enduring the pain from his left eye. "It still hurts..." He finished his frappe then threw it to the trash bin not far from them.

(Aye... take care! x3)
