Saizo watched as Asmodean morphed again. He just advanced in power again. I wonder what i will look like when I advance in power. I still have a long way to go... Saizo continued handweaving, and trying to determine what his True Hollow Form would look like.

Naniyori was nearby, although not near enough for anyone to clearly take note of him, and had been watching after he arrived. The first thing he was surprised, and amazed at was the strange new creature running about the field, that he recognized as Rahvir. "He's changed completely since the battle, although I don't know how. What could have spurred on the change in his physiology so suddenly, or to this increased degree of power?" He examined the Arrancar, for one of the unmasked Hollow he now realized his master had become, and realized that he looked once more very human. 'Perhaps there is a connection between the human heart that we, as Hollows lose and our greater power. Now, what does he look like...' He examined Rahvir's figure, realizing that his height hadn't changed much. His cloths, which he now wore, were a plain white and reminded him of shinigami robes, but it was obviously reversed in color and Rajar was plain to see with him. "Now who are these new Hollows with him...that one, the Adjuchas. His increase in power, transforming through two stages of Menos Grande in such record time, was amazing! And I can sense that the other, although not nearly as powerful, clearly has enough strength of his own...and they both take commands, easily as it would seem. Although the Menos Grande lost control of his own mind for a bit, he stopped when commanded. Their ability to listen makes it obvious that they're not just regular Hollows, but more like Rahvir and myself...intelligence, and power are both open to them." His eyes scanned the form of the Menos, whose mask had first become streamlined and fluid, while his body grew and changed in form. Then, it had become slightly more humanish, his tail had extended, and many other features had changed in him. The Adjuchas Class, he thought, and smirked when he realized the power that had come to their group. The other, whom he now turned his head to look at, was clearly in an early form but had few of the weaknesses that characterized it. He would be a powerful ally in time, just as Naniyori's weakness was now present, but would soon be removed by the fires of war. This, he decided, was equally as useful to them as a powerful Menos Grande, although perhaps in different ways than many would consider.

Asmodean grinned at his new form. "Rahvir." Asmodean looked at the Arrancar. "I'm going to master this new form." Asmodean looked off into the distance. "I'll be back when I'm ready to join you." Asmodean turned off into the distance and took off. "Lookout Hueco Mundo. Asmodean coming to the party." He took off into Grande to train his new powers. Lets see... I need to work on my defense and learn Cero. The power of Cero is what weakened me so, and caused my death. Time to learn the extents of my new, more powerful form.

Saizo watched as asmodean left. He wasn't at all dissapointed. In fact, he agreed that asmodean should leave until he matured a bit. That left Saizo and Rahvir. And saizo knew he would not be much help if an enemy showed up. He needed to gain power as well. He hoped to one day be the same level as Rahvir. He wanted a new sword, and to take off his mask. saizo missed his old face.

Rahvir watched as Asmodean left and called to the Adjuchas. "Come back a tank! I need someone of your power." Rahvir grinned and looked back at Saizo. "Whats wrong? Are you hungry? I could find a meal, I'm sure." He then noticed Saizo seemed to be looked at his own mask. "You want to remove it huh?" Rahvir sighed. "Your far too weak for it to do anything but kill you." Rahvir sat down beside the ninja. "But changing the subject." Rahvir smiled. "What should we do now? I can't hold back enough to train you with any success." Rahvir sighed and looked off into the sky. "I think we need to find some more members of our little group."

Saizo looked up at Rahvir. He looked back down at his own hands. there isn't another lackey at my level. I am so weak. I will become stronger. Strong enough to overthrow asmodean. Saizo began handweaving again. He really wanted to become more powerful, so that he could take off his mask.

Rahvir sighed as he sensed something drawing his hollow side to earth. "Seems as though someone has let off some hollows bait. You should check it out. I'll go with you to make sure you don't get in over your head." Rahvir drew Rajar and sliced the air infront of him to create a garganta. "Lets go see what kind of being is attracting us hollow shall we?" Rahvir stood up and sheathed his reishi blade. "You first." Rahvir motioned for the ninja to go through before him. Rahvir wanted to see if the ninja was brave enough to go in before his boss to an area with people stronger than himself. Lets see how my little ninja reacts. If I'm right he'll go without a second thought. Rahvir would walk through right after his ally and close it behind him.

Having decided that his analyzing was done with, and seeing the monstrously powerful Adjuchas leave, he approached. The other Hollow and Rahvir remained, speaking, and he was fixed on a subject to speak with Rahvir about when something suddenly touched his senses. "Hollow...bait? What idiot would be so foolish as to challenge the might of Hollows so openly? Pathetic...no one worthy of merit could be so dumb." He would grit his teeth were they not part of his mask, but as such he decided to make no faces that would give away his thoughts as he finished approaching Rahvir. The new circumstance, however, had made him forget his topic and left him without an appropriate reason for speaking other than to make his well-being known. Once he was within earshot he shouted, hoping to catch his mentor's attention. "What's this? I left a Hollow in the world of humans who was prepared to fight two other powerful Hollows, and when I thought I sensed his spiritual energy I followed it only to find not him, but a man of flesh and blood with only the fainted traces of his mask remaining. So, oh Arrancar, tell me what Rahvir would say were I addressing him with this voice that belongs to me right now." He said the whole thing satirically, fully aware of whom this figure was. He wanted, however, to know how Rahvir would react to his entrance and to the Hollow bait that he couldn't shake his senses off of. He knew many weaker Hollows would have succumb to the urge to find the bait already, and would fall before their target's hand who had in turn planned for them to come. He wondered, too, if Rahvir would let an insult to the Hollow race go so easily. Quote: With that in mind, his thoughts began to wander to the only memory he had from before he had developed into a full-fledged Hollow. He remembered, in detail, the location he was at when his heart finally faltered and he transformed into the dark side of the spirit, the feared Hollow. He had been in the center of a town that he couldn't recognize now that his memory was beginning to falter, and many citizens had wandered about. He looked about at the busy sidewalks, filled with men, women, and children who were all going on with their daily lives like this busy place had carried no particular significance to anyone since it had first been created. To him, however, it was a place more dear than whatever family he had in life though, since he could feel in what was left of his heart that he had died here, but what means he couldn't tell. When he looked around, he noticed a small restaurant run by a family who seemed to be just getting by, and one of the children was carrying the garbage out into the alley nearby through the side door to help his father and mother who were probably inside, sitting guests and cooking food as it was ordered. Across from it was a number of small buildings, packed together, where a large number of civilians probably lived in homes that were considered unlivable by many parts of the world, even there in that country. He guessed, by he knew not what means, that the family owning the restaurant was living there and that they would soon either have to give up the restaurant for lack of business, or gather more business and move out of the hole that was uninhabitable for them. A sound, behind him, caught his ear and he turned around to see the pair who owned the store shouting at each other, the woman holding the door open while the husband stood just inside the restaurant, telling her not to go. What struck him as most obvious, and sent a chill down his spine, was the cross that hung from his wrist. She screamed a few words about wanting to give up their current life, something that sent a pang of relief through his broken heart, and when she turned to leave the man flew into a frenzy and rushed forward, turning her around and telling her that his was a noble quest that he wouldn't let her abandon. At that, the pang was gone and a new feeling filled it, one that was like a fire that melted all the frozen shards of his heart and left nothing in return but the blaze of anger. He wished to free himself and help her free from his grip, no matter what he thought his quest was, and leave with her. As if on queue, something had appeared from a portal nearby. A giant, black monster with a white mask that struck him as similar, and yet wholly terrifying to him. "What is it that you want? If you wish, I will devour this soul..." It had offered it in a placid tone, but he knew that there was joy in its black heart, if there was one shred of it left. The man who he had hated took notice at that moment, and Naniyori realized that he was fully capable of seeing them. The woman, too, seemed to notice, and when the man told her to run as far away as possible she didn't even spare a second glance. His heart cringed at that, knowing that whatever ties he had were connected to her. While he was turned, looking after her however, the Hollow lunged forward at the Restaurant. Before he could catch sight of the human again, the Restaurant was destroyed and he assumed the person was dead by the Monster's hand...a mistake that he instantly realized, as a streak of blue energy struck the Hollow's back. The two began an epic duel that Naniyori could not understand, and the two wore themselves out quickly, each obviously weak for their races. The human stood, blood trickling, and the Hollow equally beaten. "You have tricked me, black soul...this is a Quincy, with the powers to destroy souls! That's it, I will devour you to restore my powers and finish this battle once and for all!" The monstrous form began to move towards him before he could respond, and a wave of hatred and fear rushed through him as his eyes closed, prepared to die. He waited moments, expecting the inevitable. When he dared open them, what he found was not a terrifying beast though, but a fallen creature fading with a hole through it's bright white mask. He looked past that, towards the man, who was breathing heavily. " You're heart is already faded due to the shinigami's slowness to respond...I will destroy you now before my powers are spent for now and before you can become like this monster! Feel no fear...in moments, you will cease to exist." The Quincy lowered his bow, and Naniyori let out a scream of rage as his body began to grow at that moment. The last thing he saw was a terrified look spread over the Quincy's face, obviously awaiting the inevitable...

Rahvir noticed a weak spiritual pressure approaching. One of a hollow and one that he knew. He saw Naniyori approaching and was prepared to greet him when he began to speak. Rahvir sighed. What the hell is he talking about? He couldn't make heads or tails of what Naniyori was saying. "I would say 'Make sense!' Geez its like listening to someone who's speaking a dead language." Rahvir sighed and walked up to his lacky. Despite the fact that Rahvir now had to look up a great deal to look into the hollows face, he was quite serious. "If your going to say something." Rahvir drew Rajar. "Say it clearly." He layed to rest Rajar on his shoulder. What is he getting at? Surely he's not provoking me?

Riev Rahvir noticed a weak spiritual pressure approaching. One of a hollow and one that he knew. He saw Naniyori approaching and was prepared to greet him when he began to speak. Rahvir sighed. What the hell is he talking about? He couldn't make heads or tails of what Naniyori was saying. "I would say 'Make sense!' Geez its like listening to someone who's speaking a dead language."

Rahvir drew Rajar. "Say it clearly." He layed to rest Rajar on his shoulder. What is he getting at? Surely he's not provoking me? He sighed as his perhaps sad attempt at less direct talk failed. "Fine, let me rephrase...what's up, Rahvir? When I left you were a Hollow, and now you appear to be one of the creatures known as the Arrancar. Surely you don't think such a quick change natural, or at least you didn't expect me not to be surprised? I hardly recognize you, save for your reiatsu..." He paused near Rahvir once more, waiting for a reply.

Rahvir laughed and sheathed Rajar. "Well you disappeared on me. I would have brought you here to see the change like Saizo." Rahvir pointed to the ninja hollow. "Asmodean, and Damion, saw. Didn't know where you were." Rahvir looked up at the hollow. He's slowly but surely getting stronger. His progress is a bit to slow for my taste... I've got it! "So, Naniyori. Your power is around Saizos. You two should train. Saizo needs the training and you need it even more." Rahvir closed his portal to earth. "Seems like I now have something better to do." Rahvir grinned as he looked at the spiked hollow and then back to Saizo.

Saizo let out a grunt of affirmation as rahvir advised him to train against the spiked hollow. He bowed, and drew his wakizashi. He turned to the spiked hollow, and nodded, and then bowed out of respect. He then dropped to a low defensive stance, and nodded, signifying that the spiked one could go first. This one seems closer to my level. This should be an interestring fight. I will get stronger yet.

Naniyori nodded at the suggestion of Rahvir, and watched as he left. Once he was gone, he turned to the ninja-like Hollow who was to be his opponent, and a grin spread across his face. "Its time to show you what I've got..." Naniyori leapt forward, throwing a punch towards his opponent to signify the beginning of the bout. His power was somewhat balanced across stats, but his opponent had clear cut powers and weaknesses that he hoped to exploit. And hopefully, if they trained here, they could both become as powerful as they aspired to be.

Saizo's eyes widened as Naniyori came flying at him. attacking unarmed, with a punch? I wouldn't advise that... saizo was well prepared for such an overt attack. Saizo rolled to the side, swinging his wakizashi backhandedly at Naniyori's back, while bringing his knee up at his stomach. Alright. So far, so good... at least this one isn't attempting to kill me... This should be good training...

Naniyori watched as the faster one dodged his attack, and went forward into a barrel roll through the two attacks before either could strike him, the roll being above his knee and, due to his movement, able to avoid the wakazashi. As he turned, he breathed deeply. 'I'm going to have to consider my moves carefully to take on someone with his speed...and his attacks are focused on using that speed, so it will be even harder.'The Hollow flung his arm forward towards Saizo, not close enough for him to be within arms reach. In hopes of surprising Saizo, however, his arm suddenly extended twice its length and thus propelled itself forward to try and land a clean blow to his current opponent. 'We will train, and I will become stronger...strong enough to serve Rahvir, faithfully, at least. A Menos Grande already stands in my path, and I will not let someone like this become better than me, and take that place from me...'
