Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ethan felt a tingling sensation in his tail and looked to see that about two feet of it and the tip had been severed by the menos' blades. He sonidoed in front of the insect menos and extended a clawed wing, grabbing its face with his left claw.

"Well, aren't you the uncooperative one." He deadpanned as he sliced off several more feet off his tail with one of his swords, preventing the venom from spreading further. He had remembered how the bird-like menos had dropped to the ground after being bitten by the insect menos. It was a non-lethal injury that killed its opponent anyways, leaving only one possible conclusion: the menos posessed some sort of venom.

"It's a good thing your form and abilities interest me, or you'd be dead already." His tail, now ten feet shorter, shot forward and latched onto the menos' neck. It was still long enough to wrap around it three times.

"Last chance to escape." Ethan said with a slight grin as he pointed a sword at the menos and his tail began crushing the menos' neck. He was confident, a sword back in his left hand, due to the fact that his injuries healed when he released.

His left claw began compressing the menos' mask, causing agonizing, overwhelming pain that flooded all other senses and made the menos unable to concentrate on anything but the building pressure on its face.

Ethan's right wing came sweeping forward after the fact that the hollow spat at him registered in his brain. He wasn't fast enough, as the wing only deflected about half the poison. The other half splashed onto his jacket and left arm instead of his face.

As he wiped a drop of poison that had landed on his cheek with his free hand, he glared at the menos. "Ungrateful... filthy... slimeball." His tail, which he was now using at full strength, clamped down on its neck again, breaking all four sets of fingers as he began to strangle it.

It then occured to Ethan that the menos wouldn't be much good for research in its current state. It had almost no wings, and it had been severely weakened and extensively injured already. In an improvised attempt to fix the situation, he clamped down even tighter on the menos' mask with his left claw. His tail pushed down on the menos' shoulders, and his claw jerked towards him, away from the menos. With a sucking sound followed by the sickening crunch of breaking bone, a large portion of the menos' mask was ripped off its face, then crushed to pieces in Ethan's claw.

A blinding light began emanating from the menos as it roared in pain. Ethan let go with all appendages and jumped back in surprise, shielding himself with his wings. He waited for the intense light to clear before peeking out from behind his leathery shields. He was slightly surprised as he made out a much smaller form that knelt in the sand where the menos was before. He had expected something like this to happen, but didn't know the arrancar would be so small in comparison to its giant hollow form.

His wings and armor disappeared, and he reverted to his sealed appearance, sword in hand. He made his way carefully towards the figure, sword in front of him in a reverse grip guard position.

((I did. I meant that her hollow form was giant, compared to her small human form. sweatdrop ))

Ethan made a swiping motion with his hand and cleared most of the smoke away from the area. He got a good look at the newly formed arrancar, and stopped walking in surprise.

"That thing was... female?" He asked in surprise with a frown on his face as Khalee sonidoed next to him, cradling her side with her left arm.

"E-Ethan..." She said, gasping for breath, a pained expression on her face. She stopped walking when she spotted the girl laying before them and looked at her with a curious expression.

"Ethan-kun why is she naked? Who - " She gasped as she collapsed into the sand, her broken ankle having supported her weight for too long.

Ethan knelt in the sand and gently put a hand on the back of Khalee's neck. "Come on. I need to get you both back to Las Noches." He put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her up to a standing position on her good leg. After they both made their way over to the girl laying in the sand, Ethan sheathed his sword. He picked up the girl's arm and her zanpakutou in his left hand before sonidoing back to the palace, taking both of them with him.

When the two reached the middle of Hueco Mundo's Desert he just looked around the palace of Los Noches was only a speck if not seen at all. He looked to Ammut as he nodded, "Here is were it will go up..."

Ammut nodded and stood back watching as his master flipped open the black book to a page marked with Hieroglyphs and started to yelled out, "I call on the Dark Sands of the Underworld to come forth and build us a Home!" he said in an ancient dialect, "I command you to make a Palace from where we... The Enlightened Few ... May house ourselves away from the Savageness of the Espada! A place where we may be free! Arise!" he yelled as the ground shook only a bit before the ground in front of him spewed up a Geyser of black sand that blew all around the two.

Though blinded by the sudden black sand storm a form started to appear in front of them a large structure. When the sand finally cleared Deathsye opened his eyes and beheld a great black structure A large palace connected to a Central Three sided black pyramid. The area around was now covered in black sand that seemed to go for a good few miles in any direction.

"You've done it Master!" howled Ammut as he saw the structure obviously excited at his master's conjuration.

Deathsye just nodded and let out a huff the Spell he used taking much Reishi from him, "We...*pant* will call this place... *pant* Hamunaptra..." he said walking slowly in through the front entrance into the torch lit corridors of The Palace of Hamunaptra.
