Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was some minutes later that Hei had finished his formula and had poured it into two shallow containers. He moved over to a shelf where he grabbed syringe off the shelf and promptly injected the contents equally into both hands. The nails on his fingers grew out to about an inch from the skin. He eyed them carefully and then sauntered over to a workbench that had tools on it. He spent the next 20 minutes standing over the workbench, sharpening his nails to a point (Think InuYasha) on the electric file that he used to sharpen scalpels and such. When he was done he moved back over to his surgery table, pulled out some arms that swung out from just below the edge of the table and sat the two shallow containers on the space provided. He eased himself onto the table, careful to not spill the contents of the containers and as he laid back, he submerged his fingers in the formula and shut his eyes. He lay there, letting his nails soak up the formula as he took a nap.

Hei arrived in front of the 12th Division's laboratory and set Tsukiko down outside. He went in and once there went to the back opened a bunker door and descended a set of stairs until he reached a door. He used his key card to gain access to the inside and went through several doors, each one having its own unique type of biological access method. The first door required a hair, the second required a tongue print, the third door required a hand scan, the fourth required an eye-scan and the final door required him to enter a strange arch that registered his body as a whole. After going through all this, Hei approached a large metal door that was cero-proof and had a very powerful barrier around it, he touched it and it dissipated, allowing him to take hold of the large handle and open it. There came a hiss as smoke poured out of the crack between the door frame and the door itself.

Hei entered, shutting the door behind himself. He approached a large screen which displayed atoms and molecules being bonded together. Several minuscule robotic arms were hard at work bonding the atoms together. Hei pressed a button under the screen and the view switched from an atomic level to regular to reveal an object that was literally 1/8th of a sphere that when completed would be no bigger than a golf ball. The object in question was some hundred yards under his own feet, buried under several dozen feet of solid steel for protection. The steel was manufactured to be elementally resistant and acid-proof. There was no door or passageway that led there, the only way to gain access was to use a scientifically engineered garganta, and even then, one needed the coordinates or else one might end up inside a wall.

Seemingly pleased with the progress, Hei shut off the screen and exited the lower levels in the manner he had arrived, except in reverse order. He locked everything behind him, exited the lab and looked down at Tsukiko who was still sleeping. He scooped her up once more and ambled off elsewhere.

A random shinigami came by after a while and attempted to rouse Kato from slumber. "Sir, sir... I'm afraid you cannot go in there. Our captain left a little while ago, and I believe he and Miss Tsukiko went to the streets." Though his speech and manner were proper, it pained him greatly to refer to a 7-year-old in such high regard.

[From the Festival thread]

With Kato gone, Hei was left to analyze the results of the tests that had been run on him. He sorted through these and came to better understand how Arrancar seemed to work, or at the very least, the one Kato had fought. It would be child's play to deal with this one, for him at least. It's not as though he intended to take care of the Espada, such a task was below him. Afterward, Hei was able to go through the documents Yokozuki had brought him in little under 2 hours. During which he was served several cups of tea by Tsukiko; stopping every now and then to pace back in forth in thought. When he was finally done and the documents hidden behind a thick barrier of light of his own design, Hei wandered about the lab, tinkering with various materials all the while rambling to himself and Tsukiko, who would simply nod as if her opinion mattered. He began to construct devices to aid against the imminent fight against the arrancar. Mechanical parts littered the desks and floor, wires strewn everywhere, some long, some short.

Kokei had come to visit Hei with the issue from the Seretai festival witch she had told him about before and now she wished to do something about Mentsu. But she feared it would be to late. Mentsu was starting to win and it was evident in the changes to her appearance such as one of her eyes now a red and Kokei took a deep breath coming up to his labratory. Her face was serious, something not common for Kokei and she gently tapped on the door to his labratory hoping somehow he would be able to help, if he couldnt help Kokei would be gone in about a week.

Kokei gave a small smile and closed her eyes momentarily her now one red eye looked at him with seriousness. Having one blue eye and red eye could several bad things she looked at Hei with a small smile "I am so sorry Hei for interrupting but now is the time to fix this problem..." Kokei pointed to her red eye "I have about a week..." Kokei looked dead serious.

Kokei gave a small smile to the girl who handed her the tea and then looked towards Hei "If thats what you wish....Hei.." Kokei had no joking tone it was completely serious as she spoke "I have learned to fully control it" Her red eyes looked to him.

(( I meant to say never learned to control it lol)

"No I never learned to full control meaning I still need a way to get rid of him....however you plan to do it is up to you that is if you choose to help is up to you" Kokei then gave a slight smile "The problem is now that it is possessing me rather fast....unaturally fast"
