When Yuu-chan released her shikai, Xeion expected something marvelous to pop out of his little sister's hands. With her power, skill, and determination, he was sure that she would get a shikai that would be totally amazing. However, instead of seeing something amazing pop out of Yuu-chan's hands, Xeion saw the polar opposite of something -- nothing. Yuu-chan's zanpakuto had completely disappeared from sight, leaving Xeion dumbfounded as to where the blade had gotten to, unbeknown to him that Yuu-chan's shikai, in reality, was to turn her zanpakuto completely invisible. It was a very useful shikai, if used wisely, and could easily make short work of those foolish enough to fight with someone who has mastered something as unique as an invisible weapon. Xeion would love the opportunity to train Yuu-chan to become someone of that caliber, but first, he needed to figure things out first.
"Uhmm...Yuu-chan...," murmured Xeion, looking all around him to see as to where his little sister's zanpakuto went off to, but all ended in vain. It was nowhere to be found nor did he sense anything from it. It was the perfect hidden weapon. "Where did the sword go?"

As the grip on her leg loostened, Rakey fell to the ground. "Oomph!" she gasped, falling on her left arm. She rolled onto her back and did a quick and graceful kip up. When she stood she saw Minato on the ground laying. She smiled, seeing as though he was in his zanpakto- talking state. "I'll just wait here, for you to wake up, shinigami-kun," she chuckled, as she sat her bum onto the flightline concrete.
Minutes passed, and she let out a sigh. But her sighing soon stopped when she saw Minato get up. "Shinigami-kun is awake now!" she smiled, as she jumped up, and patted the dust off her butt. She nodded with her eyes closed, and took in a deep breath, while doing so she made sure to keep her reiatsu from 'leaking' out in a constant manner. This time, she was planning to be more serious, and 'kick it up a notch' so to say. "Rip me apart? That's not nice now is it?" She pouted and laughed, as she clicked the buckle on her chest, that hung Mamoru on her back. "Would you like to see the arrancar resureccion?" She asked. She wanted to see how much he'd grown in the last few minutes, see if he could manage the next level of an arrancar.
"Or do you want to start with baby steps?" She provoked, it wasn't like her to tease people like this, but sometimes, she had to let her hollow nature out, just let loose.

Minato raised his blade to Rakey, "I don't know about you, but I'm going to be giving my all, as much as I can give, feel free to do the same. If you want to release your resureccion, then you can, it won't change how much effort I give out. It's up to you."
He doubted he would be able to really defeat Rakey, he doubted he would be able to match her skill, he doubted he would be able to be impressive, but he was going to fight, just for himself, and not for anyone but himself. He felt the blade was constricted... the movement would seem to obvious with it's size and all, and sticking out his frontside only made the movement worse. He turned the weapon upside down, now meshing in with the length of his arm, barely going passed his shoulder. 'This will work much better... I can lessen the amount of space it takes up when I'm in close area's if I can move my arms, I can for sure move this around without impedement, not to mention the style is unorthodox, and to someone who hasn't fought against this style, the blades movement may be less predictable, since I can either now keep it close to my forearm or extend it out, though it does lessen the impact somewhat, it'll definately help with my speed' he loosened his grip on the hilt, letting the edge rest on the base ground as he waited for Rakey's decision to transform, or just up it a little.

She nodded, seeing he wasn't accepting or declining the offer. "Tomo wo Mamoru, (My friends, I'll protect (protect is also her zanpakto-'s name)" With those words, her horns grew into massive and broad horns, much like a moose. Her legs, weren't massive like a mooses though, they were small, but stong, like a deers. Her arms, grew shield-like hollow material, and the horns that were on the top of her forehead were made of hollow bone. This bone, stretched to cover her face, whole face, no eye holes, nothing. Only her black bangs hung over the top of the mask. She could sense everything though. Like a pair of eyes, she relied on her pesquisa in this form, like a high quality radar and eyes.
Rakey waved her arm motioning for him to come first. The last time she used her resureccion she was a weak arrancar so she had eye holes in her mask, and her mask didn't cover her whole face, only half. ". . .come" A muffled, yet soft voice, said. In this form her voice sounded muffled, because of the mask, but it sounded much softer.

Yuu was a bit confused at why her big brother was confused. "What are you talking about Onii-san?" asked Yuu, as she held her zanpakuto a bit higher so she could show him. "Yurei is right here." This was a bit weird to Yuu, she could see it as clear as day. But why couldn't Xeion see it, it just made no sense to her.

((This is taking too long, so I've decided to administer your training here as well.))
Training/Storyline Mission
"Anubis"
Opponents:
Rogue Jackal-00 (5x)
Setting: While en route to Yokota Air Base, a KyCorp carrier plane suffered a critical malfunction and was forced to crash land near the outskirts of the air force base. The plane was carrying five, brand new Jackal-00 dummy units, yet another product of KyCorp's Advance Technology and Alchemy Department. These new dummy units are faster, stronger, and more alert than all the previous dummy units, each one with a battle level equivalent to that of a shinigami vice captain. They are also equipped with Schuvaltz Piercers, a weapon made with orihalcum, specifically designed to suit the Jackal-00's performance specs. These Jackal-00 units were supposed to be tested in the base, but were automatically activated when the plane they were on crashed. Without a program setting, the Jackal-00 units reverted back to their default program, that is, to find and eliminate anything with arrancar reiatsu.
Objectives:
- Make a total of 15 posts.
- Acquire mastery of "Geist Meister" skill.
- Eliminate all Jackal-00 units.
- After 15 posts, make a climax post.
- Outside assistance is permitted.
- PM me when you have completed your mission.

[MISSION]
A large explosion ripped right through the walls of the south entrance gate of the air base. Immediately following the explosion, the base's emergency sirens flickered to life, awaiting action from the staff positioned inside the large base itself. In the midst of the raging flames, five silhouettes emerged, their forms as intimidating as their appearance which resembled that of emotionless assassins, which, in fact, they were. "Jackals", they were called, the latest product of the brilliant minds of KyCorp. A fitting name for something as terrifying as they. They were the dogs of death, considered as the scourge of the living during the times of the great pharaohs. Even Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead, was patterned after a jackal.
Before anyone could bear witness to them, the five of them ran off at inhuman speeds, hiding in the shadows behind one of the hangars. Silently, they searched for any trace of arrancar reiatsu which eventually led them to stumble upon a group of people who had the same energy readings as those of an arrancar. Their computerized data processing systems then started to work, assessing each object in the immediate vicinity. "Energy anomalies detected," murmured one of the five in a computerized voice, sending the data over to its other comrades. Soon, their sensors were overwhelmed by the amount of arrancar reiatsu being spread through the air because of the fighting between one shinigami and arrancar. The area they were in became completely drenched in it. With the Jackal units, being pre-programmed specifically to eliminate anything with an arrancar reiatsu, there was only one obvious answer as to what would happen next. The termination of the entire base.
As they were programmed to, the Jackal units spread out and began to systematically destroy the air base piece by piece, as airplanes, buildings, and cars burst into flames or exploded thanks to the Jackals and the weapons they were using, capable of slicing through anything and everything it chanced upon. Numerous gunshot sounds began ringing through the air, followed by agonizing screams, with the command trying to prevent their base from being decimated, but obviously failing at that. Yokota would lie in ruins if no one were to stop the rogue Jackal units in their mindless rampage.

Xeion heard the explosion from the south gate, and instinctively, searched the area around him for the cause of it all while calling Yuu-chan, Rakey-chan, and the other shinigami, a bit closer since getting separated during a combat situation was one of the worst possible situations that could ever happen. "Stay close!" he shouted, putting forth Elena in front of him, eyes ready to take anything that might come out of the fire, Xeion gripping Elena's hilt with his right hand while holding Yuu-chan protectively by his side with his left.
Minutes pass and still no sign of an enemy. "What happened? Was it just a--?" Xeion asked himself, but was cut short when another series of explosions were heard, now coming from all over the air force base. Wild gunshots and the screams of base personnel echoed through the air as the once peaceful Yokota Air Base now turned into a mini-war zone. The scenes before Xeion were horrifying, reminding him of the sheer horrors of war he had watched on the television. He felt an unbearable sadness swell up in his heart until he could take it no longer. Xeion wanted this to stop, and soon.
"Stop! Stop! Stop everything!" Xeion shouted out, tears streaming from his eyes as he ran through the air strip, passing by some burning hangars and injured base personnel, and luckily, no casualties as of yet. The attacks were systematic though, and it was obvious that the attackers knew what they wanted to destroy. At least he felt relieved that they didn't want to kill any people, but still, they were destroying the air base. If this didn't stop soon, someone would eventually die. Xeion didn't want that. As such, he continued to search for the cause of all this mess, trying his hardest to prevent his worse fears from happening.

The becon from Rakey was late, Minato was prepared with whatever decision, and he executed the procedure that this situation called for. He came as Rakey requested, coming in as fast as he could with the blade following up behind him, leaving a gust behind him as the blade gained distance, getting ever closer to the Arrancer, getting ever eager to make it's first strike in it's newly established power.
Minato side jumped over to his left at about seven meters away from Rakey, and made a jum offset to the right and up, going a few feet over Rakey's head, and making a swing to her upper torso, ready to use his feet to knock a weapon away if it parried his strike.

Xeion stopped in his tracks when he saw a humanoid figure standing amidst the burning wreckage of an F-16 fighter plane. The figure looked strange and creepy as it stood there, armed with a weird weapon, looking all the more demonic as the flames blazing behind him presented the figure in a more negative light. The weird thing was that Xeion didn't feel anything from the one standing before him; no life signs, no reiatsu signature, nothing. It was as if he was staring at a mannequin, a moving one at that. Although he was weirded out by this strange person, he took his stance and grit his teeth. There was no denying that he was the one who caused all this mess, and Xeion was determined to make him stop. Whatever it takes.
"State your name," commanded Xeion, eyes shining with the flames from the burning F-16. The figure, however, gave no response and just stood there. "I said state your name!" commanded Xeion once more, now with a more powerful tone of voice, but still, the figure still kept its silence. "What are--!" he shouted before the figure charged at him with its weapon. It moved so fast, so fluidly, so inhumanly, that Xeion was forced to become serious right from the get go. Its fast kicks, swift movements, everything about it was unnatural. Coupled by the fact that he wasn't able to get anything out of it, Xeion assumed that he was fighting that wasn't alive. "A...robot!?" he managed to shout out, but stopped to continue blocking the figure's flurry of attacks.

((Let's help Xeion! >w<))
Rakey watched Minato strafe to her right, and then jump towards her again. "Curbrir mis cuernas (Cover my horns)" She mumbled and turned her head to the left, so the horns would be parallel to his sword, and twisted her head so it'd hopefully catch the sword and get caught, thus, bringing him weapon-less. But when she looked to Minato, she saw a robotic figure jump up behind him and attempt to attack him. "What the hell is tha-?" She gasped as she shook her head incase the katana was stuck in her horns, thus, removing it from her grasps and having it return to him. In the same instant she brought her right hand and shoved him aside, and with her left she shot two balas at the figure.
The figure mumbled something in a electronic voice, but all she heard was the last word ". . .detected," as it dodged the first bala but the second hit what would seem to be the shoulder of the machine. "What the heck is that thing?!" she asked.

((Aww, thankies, Ayu-hime! *huggles* (>OwO)> ))
Xeion had heard the loud roar from the two Balas Rakey-chan fired at the figure from half-way across the base. Although Xeion thought that it was just part of the training, he grew suspicious and thought of the possibility that there wasn't just one culprit behind the systematic destruction of Yokota. However, those shots were probably made because of the training, but still, Xeion didn't discount the possibility of a second, or even multiple, attackers. Xeion wasn't sure, as these things didn't have any life signs, making them invisible if one were to try and detect them by sensing their energies, which made it almost impossible for Xeion to ascertain just how many of these 'things' there are.
"I hope Rakey-chan, Yuu-chan, and the other shinigami are safe," Xeion thought as he parried each and every attack the figure made. It showed no sign of fatigue or restraint in its attacks -- tell-tale signs of a machine. However, Xeion still wanted to make sure. He had to see for himself as to whether the one he was fighting was human or otherwise. Xeion needed to know if he could "purify" it or simply beat it up until it became no threat to them or the base.
With a swift movement to the right after the figure's last attack, Xeion turned around in a semi-circular pattern, his blade, Elena, clenched tightly on his hands, as Elena's edge came close to the figure's face. Xeion's goal was to simply cut off its mask which covered its face, but even that proved difficult to do. Seeing the danger posed by the blade, it crouched down and somersaulted backward, landing on one of the burning hangar roofs. It looked down at Xeion with its cold, menacing eyes before it turned around and disappeared, leaving Xeion amidst the bruning wreckage.
Xeion felt relieved that the strange figure had left, but quickly began to worry about Rakey-chan and the others as he ran back to where they were a while ago to see how everyone was doing. He just hoped that everyone would still be okay. "Please, I beg you. Please don't be hurt!" Xeion murmured under his breath, voicing out his deep feeling of worry for the others.

When Xeion reached the place where Rakey-chan and the others were, he skidded to a stop with eyes wide open. There it was again -- the thing he had faced before. It would be impossible for it to reach this place this fast after it had just retreated from their fight a while ago, so that only meant that there were more of these things out there and it was only a matter of time before they appeared. "Damn, what are they?" asked Xeion to himself, gritting his teeth, angry that something like this happened. "They suddenly come out of nowhere and start blowing things up. That's not right! Who sent them and why are they doing this!?"
Xeion's moment was cut short, however, when another figure silently came at Rakey-chan from behind while she was preoccupied with the one in front of her. "Watch out!" shouted Xeion, running to a mid-air side kick, reinforcing his right, kicking leg with reiatsu, as his foot hit the figure's face and sent it flying away from her. Xeion immediately took his duel stance behind his Arrancar friend and focused his attention at the direction where his kick had sent the figure flying while calling the attention of his little sister to come near him so she won't get attacked unexpectedly. It was a dangerous situation they were in now, with seemingly invisible enemies, ready to strike from out of nowhere, all of whom are skilled enough to take the life of their target without as much as a second thought. "Yuu-chan, I hope you learn how to use your zanpakuto quick...because we're in one heck of a party...," murmured Xeion, a bead of sweat trickling down his face. He was scared, but not for himself. He was scared that his skills might not be enough to protect the people he cares for.

((You have five posts to face your insecurities while in a death-like state in order to master "Geist Meister" . Make your posts worth reading.))
With Xeion's last attack, the Jackal unit now rested under a huge pile of rubble and was seemingly dead. It would seem that, with Xeion's powerful kick, he had successfully disabled one of the Jackals and were now left with four. The only problem was that the Jackal units were designed to almost indestructible, thanks to the latest advancements in KyCorp technology. Therefore, the Jackal unit would most likely not only be alive and functioning, but was probably devising a plan to effectively dispatch the "threat" that was before them.
"Energy anomaly confirmed. Beginning termination procedures. All units prepare for target termination."
The energy anomaly the Jackal pertained to was Xeion's reiatsu which still had traces of arrancar reiatsu from his training at the park before. Since the Jackals' operating systems were still free from any program adjustments, their minds were still unable to separate friendly from enemy reiatsu. With Xeion's case, they were unsure as to what to make of the data, and therefore, automatically perceived it as a new kind of "threat", surpassing that of any known "threat". It was new, so therefore, it must be something the enemy made to fool their sensors. At least, that's what their systems tell them.
[AUTO-HIT]
From beneath the rubble, the Jackal stood up, scattering large quantities of debris all around it, and ran at Xeion, weapon in hand, with inhuman speed. While Xeion's attention was focused on what was in front of him, a second Jackal appeared from the darkness behind and closed Xeion's mouth with its hand and then stabbed him in the back with its piercer. Having heard of the command to terminate the "threat", the other three appeared from out of their respective locations and immediately thrust their Piercers into Xeion's body. One in his lower left rib, one in his stomach, and one in his lower right rib. To top it all off, the last Jackal thrust its Piercer straight into Xeion's chest, blood spattering all over its face.
The Jackals, as they were programmed to, maintained their positions until their target was successfully neutralized. Xeion's blood dripped freely onto parts of their armor, dying it red, but they still kept their positions no matter how dirty they got.
"Energy anomaly levels are decreasing." One of the Jackals reported.
"Heart rate and pulse are decreasing." Another one reported in.
"Neutralization is almost complete." A third Jackal mentioned.
In one, swift movement, the Jackal units simultaneously withdrew their Piercers from Xeion's body, leaving it to fall on the ground like a discarded rag doll. "Target has been successfully neutralized. Returning to previous mission." With a quick turn, the Jackals started to walk away from Xeion's bloody body as it lay on a pool of his own blood as if nothing had happened, returning to their mission of "purging" the base of anything infected with arrancar reiatsu. There was no one to blame, the Jackals were simply programmed to be that way. They were effective anti-arrancar units. It was just unlucky for Xeion that he had been the one who had to been subjected to a harsh attack like that. He was probably dead or dying by now, but he was most probably dead. There was no way that a normal human being can survive such an onslaught. Or is there?

When the enemy he thought was already defeated stood up and charged at him, Xeion gripped Elena's hilt, ready to parry an attack. What he didn't know, however, was that another one of those things crept up from the shadows behind all of them, using its reiastu-lessnes to its advantage, and put its hand around his mouth then stabbed him with its weapon. Xeion felt the sharp pain of the sharp edges of the weapon bury deep in his back, but that wasn't the end of it, however, as three more appeared from out of nowhere and stabbed him as well. Xeion's eyes widened, letting out tears of pain, and blood rushed out from his mouth, but since one of the things were blocking the blood's only exit, just a little amount escaped through the little gaps in the figures fingers. Not only was he in pain, he was drowning in his own blood too. The finishing blow soon came next as Xeion saw the blade, right before his very eyes, run straight through and buried itself deep in his chest. His blue shades were now stained with his own blood spatters, but he could still see, and feel, the five figures around him.
"No...no...this can't...be...," Xeion said in his mind, seeing all the things he had done in life flash before his eyes, experiencing all the happy times and reliving the nightmares he once faced before. Xeion knew that this was probably the end of him, but his heart refused to give up, refused to allow himself to die, while his friends were still in danger. That determination of his, however, was slowly being extinguished, as was his own life, thanks to the five figures who had him impaled in several directions. His eyesight began to turn hazy, his breaths slowed, his body felt weak until he could no longer lift even his arms up. He was nearing his end.
By the time they had retracted their weapons from his body, Xeion was now critically injured. With his last breath, however, he gathered up all of the strength he could muster in order to let out a word, directed to his friends who were behind him. Even at the very end of his life, Xeion still put others first. That was how much he valued them.
"Please...r-run...away...!"
With a loud thud, Xeion dropped to the floor, his own, crimson blood, as crimson as his eyes, pooling beneath him. He could still taste the irony taste of his blood. "So...I'm going to die...," Xeion murmured in his head, his vision getting darker and darker until he could no longer see anymore. "Rakey-chan...Yuu-chan...please...be safe..." With those last words, Xeion became silent, losing all the energy he had in him.
