Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yamato gave Linus an odd look before he shook his head."Have you never even heard of them? I am pretty sure that this isn't the first time that the Espada have made themselves enemys of the soul society." Yamato let his head fall back as he rememebered what he knew about them."Lets see Espada. Hollows that have obtained shinigami abilitys threw unknown means. Ranking system was used by numbers and the lower the number the stronger the espada was. But most Espada could match a seated officer or LT in a fight. They also had a relaese much like our shikai and bankai release's where they returned to being their original hollow form and gained a large power up." Yamato took a deep breath."But that isn't the worse of it, their was a special group of espada that were held in high regards by the tratior Aizen, these numbers went from number nine to zero, and most could easily match a captain-class shinigami. To put it shortly, we wouldn't stand a chance against them." Yamato didn't smile and he stood up."Well I don't know if that info is 100% true, but that is all I know." Yamato looked over and saw his captain as well as Axel."Oh......it's you. That explains things."

Just as he was about to stick his keycard into the slot in the door, Hei heard Yokozuki shouting near his office. "That was quick..." He was genuinely surprised as his face showed it even if the rest of his body didn't. After sliding his key card back into his pocket, Hei made his way over to his office and approached Yokozuki from the right. With nary a word, he took the documents off his hands and held them close to his chest as he made his way back to his labs. Once there, he found that he couldn't open the door while holding all of this crap.

With a deep, disgruntled groan, he set the crates down next to the door and swiped the card into the complex entry system. As the door hissed open, Hei bent down, picked the crates up once more and entered. A few feet from the door, Hei set them back down and slammed the door behind him and ensured its security by punching a complex security code on a panel on the inside. Hei made his way to his desk research desk and sat down as Tsukiko walked up carrying a tray with a cup of piping hot Black Tea. Hei thanked her, took it and set it down as she strode away and disappeared behind a door off to the left. Hei leaned back in his chair to get comfortable and only then did he pick up his cup and take a sip. He held the cup to his lips for a moment and stared past the wisps of steam that emanated from the hot liquid.

"What to do..." A small sigh escaped his lips and he was quiet for a moment, then the silence was broken as he leaned forward and stood up. He strode over to the door, punched in the security code, opened it and slapped a sign on it that read "Enter, and I will kill you. ~Hakase Hei". It was of course meant for any lower seats, but no one else knew that. He then promptly shut the door, secured it and moved next to the crates. He opened the top-most one, emptied it of it's contents and took the document to his desk where he would spend the next few hours pouring over the material unless he was interrupted.

After a few minutes, the sound of a chair sliding across tile floor could be heard followed by a short series of footsteps and then a long string of bleeps from punched in numbers on a keypad. The door opened shortly thereafter and Hei poked his head out. His face was grave and serious as he stared Tomomi down. He jabbed his finger at the sign on the door and after thinking for a second, he remembered that he didn't put 'Do Not Disturb'. With a deep sigh, he pushed the door further open to let the child captain waltz in under his arm. When all was right again and he was at his desk, he stopped and waited for whatever it was that Tomomi wanted.

Yokozuki strolled back to the archival building after a rather rude and unwelcoming greet with Hei "My my, and after all I did" Yokozuki sighed. He took his seat once again in the bright white room and began typing "Pandora..Pandora..." He read over all the myths and legends and stories about this 'Pandora' "The box of Pandora....the Urn of Pandora...." He read over the tale also of Morpheus the god of dreams, this struck curiosity into Yokozuki's eyes. "Hm...Morpheus" Being the archival squad information was stored here unless it was of grave matter which also was stored in certain secret areas of squad one, though in squad five only information was held "Lets see...." Yokozuki recalled a certain document that contained information about during when Aizen was defeated something had happened but he couldn't remember what "Damn it!....wait" Yokozuki typed in something but the monitors suddenly flashed red and appearing on each screen 'Access Denied' Yokozuki grew furious "Holding information back from me will you!" He typed in some sort of code but the same message was displayed. He then proceeded to take a key from his captains Haori and placed it into a slot across from a small blue button. As he turned the key the once bright white room turned a light shade of blue and the doors slammed shut "Top secret mumbo jumbo" He rolled his eyes and waited. After the doors sealed shut he pressed the blue button, this gave him access to all confidential files and documents "Now lets see what the hubbub is all about" He typed in 'Confidential Files' And at once a list things that had happened in the Seireitei's history appeared, he scanned through the list until he found one titled 'Unknown artifact' This caught his attention "Unknown? That's not possible, NO ARTIFACT IS UNKNOWN!" Yokozuki began yelling loudly, he was after all the archival squad captain and to think an artifact was unknown to him, something that wasn't in his normal database made him irate.

After calming himself he stood briefly and stretched then retook his seat and clicked on the title displayed on his screen. what was displayed on the screen was some text explaining that something had been found that was not made by Shinigami, Arrancar human or any other species known to Seireitei. A picture there was also, a small box but it was far to blurry for Yokozuki to make out exactly what it looked like. "My my could this be it? damn it!" Screaming again due to the fact that something wasn't known to him and he couldn't get anymore information "Only the captain-commander could possibly know more, though this is my guess at this point" He sat back and let his head go over the back of his chair "Damn...I hate them all so much" He closed his eyes for a moment then sighed. He whipped his head back up and stood quickly turning the key off and pressing the button again, which had turned white. "Guess it's time to pay a visit to our captain-commander" Something Yokozuki didn't do often, not because he didn't have time, because he just didn't want to.

Coming back to the festival Kokei smiled noticing some people were still here and that made Kokei smiled even more. But she had no time to waste she had to get further into the Rokungai area to meet with some of the greek children and especially those who had been living around where Ancient Rome had its empire. If she wanted to find out more about Pandora then she would have to ask the children about him seeing as how she knew nothing. As Kokei walked she quickly exited the area and made her way further into the Rokungai area and started off just looking for any children. She saw a small group of boys and girls all ranged in different nationalities but One caught her eyes as he looked to be of greek ancestry and she approahced the boy and started to ask him some questions. She approached him with a smile "Hello, My name is Kokei. I am sorry for interrupting the game you and your friends were playing but are you able to tell me about Pandora from the greek mythology?"

The boy looked at Kokei as if she was speaking another language but he continued to speak "I do not know much about Pandora, my mother and father almost never spoke about her but this is what I know. You have heard of Pandora's box right?" Kokei gave a nod "well it is said that after Pandora opened the box she released all the diseases and sicknesses that man kind is now facing but from what my mother told me in the bottom of the box was hope." Kokei paused and though about this then let the boy continue "I waws also told that Pandora's other name is Anesidora which means she who sends up gifts, Pandora was said to be created in the centuries of 8th-7th BC. Hesoid elaborated
From her is the race of woman and female kind:
of her is the deadly race and tribe of woman who
live amongst mortal men to their great trouble,
no helpmeets in hateful poverty, but only in wealth"
The boy paused the continued "Unfortunately thats all I really know"
Kokei smiled "No thats great thankyou" from there she went on to meet other children.

No later then that had Kokei gotten into an even deeper part of Rokungai had she noticed that their was a small community in Inuzuri comprising of greek roman ancesstry. Kokei rushed over and once again noticed some children playing outside while their grandmother watched them. Kokei smiled and went over to talk to them and bent down low as a girl as young as 7 approached her. Kokei did the same thing with the boy that she had come across "Hello dear my name is Kokei. Can I ask you about Pandora?" The little girl looked scared and walked and ran away from Kokei as soon the other two children there did to thinking Kokei as a danger and they ran all the way back to their grandmother.

Kokei rubbed her head nervously and appraoched the Grandmother. The grandmother seemed to relaize she was a captain and bowed her head in respect Kokei looked to her and said "Hello there, I am Kokei would you mid telling me a bit about pandora?" Kokei directed this at the Grandmother but smiled at the 3 little ones that were hiding behind their grandmother but soon the grandma spoke "Pandora had a jar that carried all the sickness" Kokei took note of this as the lady spoke, it was different information as the boy told her it was a box that pandora had. Kokei listened carefully to the lady "All that was left in the Jar was hope after Pandora had opened it. Prometheus told his brother Epimetheus to not accept any gifts from Zeus, but he did not listen and accapeted Pandora." Kokei listened carefully when when of the older girls out of the 3 spoke up, she looked to be only about 9 years old. Possibly the oldest out of all 3.

She started to speak "Pandora scatterd the contents of her jar and as a result Hesoid told us The Earth and sea is full of evils." Kokei's eyes widened as she tried to pieces together this mystery. Then the boy out of the 3 being the second oldest at 8 years old added something "Pandora means all giving, Harrison observed Pandora rises from the earth; she is the earth, giver of all gifts" After the boy said this all was quiet Kokei bowed her head in thanks and without any further adue went back to her squad to put this mystery together.

Linus looked at Yamato and he raised an eyebrow."Really? They are that strong?" Linus quieted down for a moment before a smile spread over his face."Sounds fun!" Linus stood up."Any ways I think it is about time we left." Linus noticed that the street infront of them was about empty."So I guess I will see ya later." Linus walked out of the shop and down the street.

(I guess exit to squad six? )
