XXXXX As the wild hollow comes crashing through the wall Edward yells "What the ******** did I just say? You are gonna regret everything you've done miserable little life by the time I am done with you!" at the hollow, which proceeds to completely ignore him and just keeps repeatedly yelling the word blood before charging at him. Edward and Fenrir both effortlessly sidestep the charge. Fenrir rockets into the side of the beast with an Armored Tackle as Edward begins chanting "Oh ruler, the darkness of the deepest pits come forth to carve your cruel mark! Unleash your power, capture and punish those who stand before your might. Hadou #90 Black Coffin." After the impact of his Armored Tackle, Fenrir leaps off from the side of the beast as the Black Coffin begins to form around the hollow. "There, let's see how you deal with a little time out. Hay kid go grab one of those old and rusty ceremonial swords off the wall, and bring it to me. I am going to skin this destructive little vermin alive after this spell is done." Edward says with his hands held up, pointed at the coffin, obviously holding the spell in some way.

As the hollow charged head-long at Edward, the Bount was quick to react, his dog leaping out and tackling the beast even as the black coffin began to form. The hollow was helpless, trapped inside this coffin. It began to shriek in frustration.
”Blood! BLOOOOD! BLOOOOOOOOOOOD!” The hollow began to fight against its bindings, but was helpless to break them.

The hollow had obviously bitten off more than it could chew with Edward. As the hollow charged towards the Bount, he merely stepped to the side, his dog taking the opportunity to attack the hollow. A sadistic smile came to Kojima’s lips, as he watched Edward begin the incantation to some sort of shinigami spell, by the sound of it. It was not often that a Bount had access to such spells, so Kojima was impressed. He did not dwell on this impression for long, though, as he descended upon the bound hollow, the planks of the black coffin already forming to entrap the beast.
As he spoke, his voice was as two voices, one the one Edward had heard already, and another deeper, more demonic one.
”Stand back, this one’s mine.” He growled, as black strips of cloth began to flow out of Kojima’s sleeves and wrap around his body, cocooning him. After a few moments, it was no longer Kojima that stood before the hollow and the bount, but The Black Magus.
The Magus lifted a hand, as an orb of bright blue energy began to form in his palm. The Bala screeched as it left his hand, splitting into 5, each one slamming into the hollow, even as it remained helpless inside the black coffin. He began to charge another before he even saw the devastation of the first, not ready to let himself be caught off-guard.
”You die here, hollow. Your soul is forfeit.” the magus growled
XXXThe trip to gather information was not completely unsuccessful. The attack on the earthen realm was legitimate, and a serious threat. However it seemed that the forces of earth had it well under control. Upon her arrival back at the bount castle it was clear that her presence was not needed a second later. "A hollow?" she questioned as she tilted her head slightly to the right side. Of course there were other presences located. It was insane how much could change after she only left for a little while. Her pace quickened until she found the seen of conflict. A wall had been crashed through, and it looked like there might be more blood on the floors. Although it was hard to tell. Even if there was more it just fit in with the other stains of decor. For now the hollow was bound in a coffin. However she could hear it screaming for blood and fighting against its restraints. The only figure she recognized was Edward. However she had only met him for a quick moment before she left. "Edward, How did a hollow get into the castle?" she inquired rather quickly. Crimson eyes moved over to the other figure that she could not quite place. He was attacking the trapped beast. It seemed that the threat was being eliminated by the figure. "and who is this?" she would ask sweetly. If things took a turn for the worse she would call for Artorius. However for now things seemed to be under control.
XXXXX Koji respond's to Edward's orders by saying "Stand back, this one’s mine." and Edward responds to that by saying "Oh you want to save me the trouble and torture the little vermin yourself? Fine I'll keep it still for a little bit. Take that time to tear a limb or two off we will get to have more fun with it that way." After he finishes speaking Rosa stepped in and asked how a hollow had gotten in the castle and who the person she didn't recognize was. "This strange kid introduced himself as Koji, and he is the one who chased this vermin into the castle. I would have handled it myself, but he offered his serves as a healer in exchange for the beast's soul as a snack, and now he's just said he can handle it himself so I'll just hold it down while he plays with his food." he responded to her with, just as the coffin ends and blood comes gushing out of the hollow. Edward quickly turns back to look at the hollow and paralyzes it with his Vampiric Gaze before it has a chance to move. Seeing the beast is paralyzed Fenrir goes in for another Armored Tackle as Edward turns back to Rosa and continues from where he left off "Anyways back to what I was about to say, and you don't have to worry about all the blood I was planning on cleaning the place up before all this started, and even tho it'll be more work, I will get this mess cleaned up in no time." then turns back to yell at Koji "And you are going to help me clean up this mess kid. That wall was quality stonework, and sense I'm letting you have this vermin as a snack any damage it has done is your responsibility."

”I think you misunderstand my intentions with this creature, Edward…” The Magus’ voice was deep and resonant, echoing off of the walls, the meek voice of Kojima just barely perceptible underneath it.
”I intend to make this hollow suffer. Suffer and then die. And then I will find another hollow to make suffer and die. And then another. I have no interest in feasting on souls. It is well enough just to make them hurt.” The Magus did not look up, even as another Bount appeared, chastising edward for the mess.
”I am the Black Magus. Bane of hollows.” Even as he spoke, he held up his hand, another Bala charging in his palm. Another set of spirit tags burned away from the Magus’ sleeve as the blasts left his hand, slamming into the hollow.
The hollow screeched in protest as it was caught in the black coffin, the shinigami technique damaging it heavily. It was so distracted by the coffin that it did not even see the Balas come at it. In a gory mess, the balas scattered the hollow across the stone floor of the castle.
As the hollow died Kojima took control of his body once more, panting heavily. The ribbons of black fabric retraceted back into Koji’s sleeves. He turned to te two bounts, and sighed.
”I’ll help clean up this mess. Thanks for your help.” Kojima began picking up the broken pieces of the wall, not sure what to do with them.
XXXThe small girl stood back and watched as the two males disposed of the hollow. They seemed keen on torturing the beast before finishing it off. The Black Magus even taking the effort to emphasize his goals of making a hollow suffer and die one after the other. The title of the bane of hollows was an interesting title upon his name. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Black Magus." she would say with a small curtsy. It was then that Edward would turn his attention back to her stating that she need not work about the mess as he would clean up the blood. "As you should." she would state in a matter of fact tone. "You have managed to accomplish an amazing feat in making this castle messier than it already was." Despite the work that had been done before, the castle still needed work. Edward would then demand the help of the newcomer going as far as to claim that broken wall was quality stonework. As a surprising turn of events the Black Magus then turned into someone else who would then offer to help clean up, and thank the pair. The small girl would guess it was like a Jekyll and Hyde sort of thing. "Don't worry. I will help too."
XXXXX After the hollow was killed everyone began cleaning up the mess it had made. Seeing Koji unsure what to do Edward lets out a sigh before saying "Take that rubble outside and pile it up next to the burning corpse pile. I'll sort out what can be reused at some later point." Edward then looks down at the carpet, which is now completely coated in hollow blood and viscera. "Well this carpet is completely ruined. I'll have to keep my eyes out for a replacement next time I am out of the castle." he thinks before saying "Ok, Fenrir help me roll up this vermin's corpse in this ruined carpet, so that we can throw it on the corpse pile." Listening to his master's orders Fenrir assists Edward with removing what is left of the hollows corpse from the castle's entry room.

Kojima did as he was told, hauling the rubble outside to the awaiting corpse pile (which was frightening in and of itself). He did away with the rubble and returned inside the castle, watching, not knowing what exactly to do, as Edward and Fenrir began to roll the body of the hollow into a rug, like this was some sort of mob movie. Kojima fought the urge to wretch right there, as he tried to cinvince his legs to move, even if it was only so he didn’t look like a coward.
Rather than moving, Kojima stood where he was, looking around. The girl who had admonished him only moments before seemed to be gone, which was strange, but there was many strange things about this place.
After a few awkward minutes of silence, Kojima spoke up. ”So how did you and your doll get injured?” He asked aloud, not necessarily expecting an answer.
XXXXX As Edward and Fenrir carried the hollow corpse Edward watched Kojima buckle in fear at the sight of the corpse pile. "Did he seriously somehow miss this burning pile of corpses on his way in or has he somehow lost the spine he was showing when first came in?" he thinks as he sees this. After a few minutes of silently moving rubble Koji breaks the silence by asking ”So how did you and your doll get injured?” Caught slightly off guard by Koji's question Edward pauses for a second before letting out a laugh and then saying "You are asking that question now? If my answer to that question matters you should have asked it before you offered to heal him, and besides you seem more concerned about the burning corpse pile than you did about me threatening to eat your soul. What are you so afraid of that you are questioning your actions now? Those bount are long dead and can't eat your soul, and I'm finding you interesting enough to not eat."

”I’m not questioning anything. If I thought you were a threat, I would have done to you what I did to the hollow. I was merely curious what ******** your dog up.” Kojima sounded somewhat defensive, like a teenager trying to sound tougher than he was. That much was true. He looked around at his surroundings, seemingly finally coming tot ake stock of how dangerous the place he now found himself was. He didn’t know much about the Bount race, aside form that they devoured souls in a way similar to hollows. Perhaps they were more civil about it. This one had not attcked him, and the other that had shown up was even nice to Koji.
Despite the fact that he was in far over his head here, Koji resolved himself to appear tough, if for the purpose of self-preservation. If this bount thught he was strong, he would not attack him. Koji didn’t have enough information to know if such a fight would turn out in his favor, but he did not want to find out here today. His hollow guarry was dead, so he really had no other reason to be here.
He began to wander off, before turning around.
”My name is Kojima Kazamaki. If you ever need a hollow dead, find me. I enjoy the hunt.”
With that, Koji walked off towards the ruins of Karakura.

Reitsu 20 | Speed 2/2 | Strength 2/2 | Defense 2/6 | Stamina 2/6 | Intelligence 6/2 | Spiritual Power 6/2 Taida walks into the castle halls from outside, passing a white haired human as he did so. He can sense that this human isn’t a standard one though, given that he actually had a noticeable amount of reiatsu. How strong he was, however, Taida could not sense. Behind Taida strode Yosai, his doll. Yosai grins at the human, an expression that showed lots of sharp fangs and a complete lack of eyes. The expression of Taida himself was unseen behind his mask and hood. Taida’s thick white coat was completely bundled up, with his gun slung across his back, right next to the pack that carried his ammo. He looks at the burning corpse pile, the rubble in what was a wall, and the hollow rolled up in a rug. “What happened here? Seems like I missed something interesting.”

XXXXX Edward enjoyed watching Koji try and act tough after the realization of how much danger he was in finally started to settle in. As Koji is leaving he tries to look tough by telling Edward if he needs any hollow dead he can call on him, to which Edward responds "If I need a hollow dead I'm plenty capable of murdering it myself, but I'll see you around Kid." before breaking out into a maniacal laugh. Edward's laughter is cut short when he notices a heavily armed bount with a massive doll approaching the castle, what Edward found odd about the bount and his doll was not the large size or the heavy military equipment, it was the minuscule pressure of their Reiatsu. was the equipment and large size something to compensate for their lack of power or were they suppressing their reiatsu in some fashion? As Edward was pondering this the bount spoke up, asking what had happened. "Oh you didn't miss much just some human kid chased a little hollow vermin into the castle a little bit after I finished cleaning up all the old corpses." he responds with gesturing at the burning pile for emphasis. "But enough about that tell me more about yourself stranger. As far as I can tell everyone that use to live here died in some sort of massacre quite a long time ago, and you don't seem related to them. So what brings you to this once abandoned castle that I, Sir Edward Filo Schnitt, have chosen to restore and claim as my own?" Edward continued on with before awaiting the new arrival's response.

Well, actually, I guess I wouldn’t be a corporal anymore would I. Killed all of them for using me as an experiment for so many years.” He takes a relaxed posture, as does his doll behind him. “And this is my companion, Yosai Shiro Kabe. I believe the proper term is doll? I was told that this was a home for people like me. Bounts I think is the term. So I made my way here to see.” He slides the machine gun back into a strange holster on the pack he carried that holds it against his back, pointed up.

HA HA HA sounds like they got exactly what was coming for them." Less than a second after he finishes saying that Edward snaps right back into his gentlemanly demeanor and continues speaking speaking with out dropping a beat "Well this place was at some point in the past was home to many bounts, but most if not all of them were little more than corpses when I first got here. Shortly after I arrived, I decided to claim the castle for myself and restore it to it's former glory, So let me welcome you to my castle and say that if you or any other bount is willing to make yourself useful around here and in the renovations you are welcome to stay."
