The frame of a small boy was seen flickering about and acrobatically scaling the different structures of the courtyard. All alone, he was playing by himself.. A game he'd been informed was called 'Hide The Easter Eggs'. A funny little thing to pass time, where one found extreme places to hide objects and pointed them out on a piece of paper. Generally, the game was played using rubber balls and in this case.. it was the same. Small, black, rubber balls he'd gotten from a new friend.. They were really nice to let him borrow these things! To repay him, he'd make the game as hard as possible for "Player Two".. This would be fun. "La Lalee Laahhh! My new friends are gonna be so happy to find out they can't find any of my eggs!" Snickering and walking on the air, he would shrug his shoulders with each laugh and then throw his hood on his head, covering his eyes and allowing bangs to flow visible beneath its rim. In a swift, and near invisible motion, he was seen tangible once more halfway across the courtyard and crawling on the wall. "Ninja Saki.. Yeah Yeah Yeah~!"

Continuing his game, Saki was crawling on the walls of the corridors like a chameleon. Every so often, the sound of him bouncing a ball was hear i n the darkness. he never stayed in a corridor for more then ten minutes though.. By now, he'd done only one hallway, having only found two 'Really' good hiding places in the darkness.. he'd never expect anyone to find those, and that mere fact kept him going. The more balls they couldn't find, the better the feeling in the end when he won! Now being back in the center courtyard, he was sort of bored and decided to talk to Destruction. He always had interesting things to say or some funny little comment or flicker..As of now, Saki was deciding to manifest him physically and project that image out.. Things seemed to pick up pace in only two minutes! Saki was running along the walls in weird and someone what funny patterns, putting skid marks on the walls with his shoes and kicking holes into the walls with forceful steps. Oddly enough, he replaced the holes before filling them by his own means. The main reason for his running was annoying Destruction.. the spirit was, to him, flying about and trying to get away from the hyperactive child.

Still playing with Destruction, Saki wasn't doing as much planting but managed to crack the walls up a bit.. Getting smart, he decided to fill the holes with half of its debris and a ball or something of that sort.. Noone would ever notice the difference, unless they searched the exact areas. Having thought he did a good job, Saki sat down idly with a pad and pen, looking around deciding to map out previous Easter egg locations.. While he did this, Destruction floated around, blipping and flickering while relaying different messages to him. Eventually, his little list was complete so far, the boy rising and then flickering upwards in a Hirenkyaku.. "Next corridor!" Happily, he chased Destruction into a dimly lit corridor, hoping to find more hiding places.

Almost reaching the peek of having hidden a third of his Eggs, Saki found himself traveling down a dark corridor and in a maze of some sort.. This was most likely the path to another are,a and the end of the trail for this specific place.. He could tell, as this was the first time he'd seen stairs running down somewhere. Getting a sneaky idea, he began to shuffle in the darkness.. then hop upwards to attach himself to the ceiling. Getting comfortable and maneuvering till he was standing upside down, he'd crouch on the roof and begin walking back to the main courtyard opening... not before hiding one or two of the balls though! In the darkness he'd taken out a set of four, and lined them along the darkened stairs.. they were already dark, but in that area of no light none could most likely find them. Perfect. Now, Saki could use his Hirenkyaku and end up at the entrance to.. Another courtyard..?! It seems he'd forgotten to leave a trail and ended up in one of the other openings. Shrugging it off, he began to walk around talking to himself.. "This place is boring. Noone likes to play, and whenever I suppress my reiastu noone comes. Maybe I should start letting it leak, then run away.. That'd make finding hiding spots a lot easier.. Since I'll be hiding~!" Thinking the idea over with the little voice in the back of his head, he decided to further think about the situation other then being stupid and gathering a buncha hollows around himself.

Another twenty minutes or so passed, and huffing Saki sat down tired, before rolling back and spreading his body to lather the ground. Chest heaving, and face flustered to some extent.. A tangible Destruction fluttered about Saki's face in threes. He could hear the voice in his mind, and read the flickers saying that.. An entire third of his job was done. He'd managed to plant in to sixth the courtyard's grid.. Destruction had relayed the message to him once more, while he was tired.. A spiritual entity could easily travel through such an environment especially when he could fade in and out through the reishi of each object here.. In this form where only he was visible to Saki things were useful.. the only downside was heaving Saki's manipulation skills away form his body for longer periods of time.. Something that quite obviously ailed his structure. "Heh.. Golly, this is tiring!.. If anyone came in at this moment, I'd have to Screen Step so fast, the reishi field of this entire area would rupture and distort!" Giggling at an inside joke, he'd get up and continue down a corridor Destruction pointed out, doing his little 'Game Ritual' with every few feet gained.

A New Corridor.. Finally. With reinvigorated strength, and a recombined and fully constructed Reiraku (Spirit Thread) Saki could move as good as before, flying about and skipping happily as he dropped visible rubber balls.. Three. One at the opening of the corridor, one in the epicenter, and one on the exit.. These were to be the beginning point for 'Player Two' as Saki called it... While thinking of this, he would test his own ability to sue this technique, closing his eyes and then opening it to see merely three lines... One red, one white, and one a crimson mixed with a pearly type color. if his memory was correct, arrancar held white and none were coming down the hall. Good job being hidden so far.. Time to keep it up, as he took a ball from his front pocket, hopping upwards and scaling the ceiling to dig a few holes and place the little rubber balls like a chandelier.

Deciding to speed things up, Saki would perform one Hirenkyaku, bursting forward and creating an upraise of dust and debris form the broken ground.. Amidst a blurring image of translucent Saki's were black objects being hurled at high speeds then burying themselves into the walls of the corridors and structures.. Nothing, it would seem, went without being stabbed horribly and cracked in.. It was a quick and steady process, not seen complete until the action was done.. In the end, a huffing child was seen barely as a frigid image on one knee, looking around the repeating his actions.. It was lucky that he'd hidden the many balls within his clothing, and around his person.. Also the fact that his gigai's ability was acting like squirrel, holding the balls like nuts.. If he needed to refill, he had the gigai spit forth a good amount holdable in his pull-overs pocket! This process need not be seen however, as a small throat of his size and such sized balls being puked up in such a bad way was.. Disturbing.

Still seen flying about, walking on the walls and plastering black smiley faces along the ceiling, making indents in the walls and generally creating extremely large cracks along the building.. Surprisingly no threats had yet to enter the area and stop the semi-destruction of there territory.. Talking this over with Destruction, he'd come to the conclusion to lay low and if things came to it.. Not to let Destruction out. He'd, secretly, lied to his spirit and said things about releasing him if things got bad but, isntead would let him be happy with the thought and use his unreleased form to flee... if cornered however, all bets were off and explosions would be abundant. With this agreed upon, the two were in sync and ready to continue the game as one high speed, rubber-ball hiding unison!

This single room, already, stood out with all the shapes and cracks in the walls.. His best bet for not giving the second player a 'Bonus Round' of finding the free eggs was to cover his tracks.. That meant gathering debris, and manipulating reishi so that the items would stick and reconnect to the structures.. At the same time melding within the eggs and making them simply impossible to find.. The thing was doing this before anyone could notice or come. obviously, this wouldn't happen but better safe then sorry.. A job well done, is a job done quickly and in haste! "Flying Bamboo Omega Purified Step of Hoho Goodness No-Technique~!" This weird and muttered chant motivated Saki to rebuild the courtyard walls and fill the cracks with a little help of hardened and melded reishi to fix each structure and bring walls and places to there former glory.. just with little black "Perks" a few feet within them.

..Time To Move On..
The area was completely back to its former glory, no indents or traces of any of the balls. Nothing of the sort pointed to anything in peculiar and yet again.. Reiraku strands weren't visible. He was sensing and sensing, and still the hallway behind and in front of him were empty of any visible reiastu sources. Good sign or bad, he walked into the newly lightened hallway looking about and wiping sweat from his forehead. Constant use of reishi-manipulating techniques weren't as tiring here but it'd been a good while.. At least two hours in his mind. He was quick, but the corridors and courtyard were initially a large area.. If his Intel gathered on the spiritual space ship he used to get here in the first place was correct.. Going past his "Game Mapped" area would get him into the place with the most disturbances.. The throne room, the Arrancar's rooms... Different weird places, with weird stuff and weird objects to do strange things to him!

Before the shinigami would be able to continue with whatever it was he was doing, a silent bala shot out from the shadowy corners of the corridors he had been traveling for the past few hours. Then, from out of the shadows emerged a figure, wearing the usual arrancar colors of white with strips of black opposite of that of the shinigami's uniforms. The figure had short, spiky black har, gelled back neatly with a single strand angled oppositely from the gelled back direction of his hair. His face was covered by a hollow's mask with the only gap found on his right eye, but even that was partially covered.
"An intruder."
Without a moment's hesitation, the arrancar raised his finger again and fired another bala, this time two consecutive shots, all aimed at the shinigami. Soon, the arrancar followed the direction of the last bala by using a sonido to appear directly in front of the shinigami. He had already drawn out his zanpakutou during the course of his sonido and was quick to attack with a powerful downward slash in an attempt to lop the trespasser's head off.

The young Raven walked through the gates unknowing what might happen. He was very excited to be in Los Naches for the first time. Ky had sent him here to only help Sinco with the fight because it looks like he is having a hard time over here. He most-likely won't be the most help to Sinco, but still, he could slow down the arrancar.
Meluk scanned the area around him to find Sinco being attacked by an arrancar. He looked at the arrancar, only guessing, that he could be strong and experienced. Meluk examined his attacks seeing that he could use bala and singo, those are attacks that can blow off a head. Meluk lifted his left hand and opened it. He took a deep breath and released ten skull-like shields’'.
Meluk did not really put up ten shields’' by himself it was also his doll that helped him too. His doll may not be released. They may be two separate bodies, but still, they are one complete soul. They as one person and they defend one another because what ever happens to one it will affect the rest.
"Please cancel the attacks," Meluk said to himself in an hopeless tone.
Once the shields’' met the assortment of blast, they seemed to run right through, but still, the shields’' only canceled the three of the bala's and slowed down the singo. Meluk can not do anything else to help Sinco, it is up to him.

Saki's senses were abruptly activated once a separate, and speeding spiritual pressure source was heading towards him.. he had turned, unsheathing the short katana mid-spin but only took note in seeing that it was dispersed by.. Another guy..?! Strange enough, the bala had been stopped by skulls.. here he was, ready to fight when some guy was helping protect him.. Hell, if it weren't for that, he would've been oblivious to his attackers surprising slash attempting to cleave him downwards at this exact moment! Luckily, being free of taking on bala allowed him to react much better then he would have been capable of.. In a quick hop upwards, his own blade was held overhead, facing down, and tilted to the left. The pose, easily, allowed Saki's blade to slide and help in a parry against the arrancar's own strike. "Who the heck are you two guys!? I mean I can understand that you, mister arrancar, might be player two but... Who's that guy who stopped your Bala!" Whining childishly, as he gave effort to keep the two blade's unmoving against each other, he would suddenly let up his guard, and jump to the left in a stealth roll. Sheathing his blade and watching for the arrancar's next move.. he'd silently reach at his belt, before crushing a small tube and igniting his entire hand in flames. "Feur!" In that whispered word, the flaming hand was thrown out and an entire mist of thin yet concealing flames covered Saki from any vision.. At the same time, this roaring and expanding flame seemed to shroud and then consume the thin corridor they were standing within. Grimacing, he would turn and attempt to run away while leaving the rubber balls in each dark corner and such then burying them.. He doubted the other two here were concerned with what the hell he was truly doing!

((Short post.))
The young Raven chuckled at Sinco's rude reply. Meluk watched Sinco use on his opponent in two different ways. If it was up to Meluk he would leave him there to die, but still, Ky sent him here, he could not leave if he wanted too.
"I'm one of Ky's Ravens. I was sent here to help you," Meluk said in a deep toned voice.
Meluk switched his sword into a black sniper rifle. He aimed the gun at the arrancar left leg steadily and pulled the trigger lightly. The bullet covered with reiatsu speeded towards the arrancar speed of light. Mostly-likely he would not be able to black or move out of the way because the bullet moves at the speed of light.

Saki had no thoughts of attempting to be a hero in this situation.. "Stand And Fight..?"... psht, Please! He was being one of the more cowardly beings to ever walk the grounds of this land and most likely.. Being the smartest also. In hearing the past stories of things 'Historical' that took place here years ago he was paranoid as hell! Being attacked by an arrancar near completion of his game's set-up was the worst possible thing.. When stuff was going smooth, and events took a change... He would run like hell, complete his goal, and then maybe.. (Just Maybe) turn around and start putting up a serious fight. Till then, of course, he was using his Hirenkyaku as fast as it would take him, trying to clear large distances and make gaps between himself and the battle that might be starting a good half a mile backwards into the corridors. Thinking he was somewhat safe, he'd begin to slow but still used the strange 'Hoho' technique to help conceal himself and the rubber balls he insisted on hiding.
[12/15]
(Thanks, Meluk..)
