Rabbit Hunt [FINISHED]

Nize set the settings of "Soul Drive" to 40%, his body going through immense surge of power. All the mechanical veins lit up with bright blue color, his eyes shining like two torches. He let two pairs of pure energy wings form on his back, being blue as well and resembling those of a dragon-fly. His feet seemingly melted into black mist, just to quickly reform into mechanical wheels. Lastly, he focused energy in his palm, the creatures scattering upon feeling the pressure of Gran Ray forming, but it didn't fire anywhere, but compressed solid, morphing in pitch black sword.

It took only a blink, maybe less, and Nize wasn't in his spot anymore, but rather on the other side of the rat pack. Stillness. And then they crumbled in black flakes. Each and every one of them, their bodies being cut in pieces. Their Reishi tried to escape, but Nize pulled it inside of him, feeding his energy reserves with the remains of the clones. The nano-Hollows were then pushed outside in a immense spiritual pulse, boosted by "Soul Drive", to find each and every Hollow that matched his enemies spiritual signature. And there were quite few of them.

It didn't matter, Split was now on the clock, the new power coming with a crucial drawback. Such, he was dedicated to move fast and steady. One by one he hunted down the odd Hollows, their numbers reaching few dozens and spreading through whole Forest of Menos. But Nize was fast. Fast and deadly. Anyone, who tried to stand in his way met the same fate, the ex-espada not joking around. He was looking for the original. One, who was spawning all these replicas. By the amount of their dead Reishi consumed he was sure now they were clones. Watered down versions of the original. Something he would know at the very start, if the previous him had decided to actually invest time in training his detection skills. Sadly, he didn't.

The rat-things still caused problems, their speed being now more of a nuisance then a problem. Though, as fast, as he was now, the system was warning about the growing pressure from all the souls, that gave their energy to him. Split wasn't in any risk yet, but he had no idea how long the battle could drag, once meeting one who was spawning all these creatures. There were only few left until, finally, Nize found it. The creature was hiding in artificially made cave and air around was almost unbreathable. The Spiritual Pressure of said Hollow and Reishi of all the killed Hollows here just being too much.

When entering, it got even heavier, but now Nize was 100% sure he was in the right place. The cave was big and wide, becoming huge, when reaching the main chamber. It was quite neat, with rock carved table, something of a chair and bed, things similar to clothing scraps replacing mattress. In there, with legs crossed on ground, sat the Hollow he was looking for. Humanoid, covered completely in white bone plates. Head in the shape of a rabbit, with bone ears and everything. It's back was covered in multiple large flower buds. The Arrancar guessed from them the copies came.

"Welcome Nize!"

"Welcome, Nize!"

The Arrancar froze in place, surprised by a childish voice leaving the Hollow. Was it someone from the previous Arrancars past? No, there was no memories of this particular creature. But maybe it was someone of who he didn't know. Yes, that could be the answer. Just a creature remembering someone higher standing then itself.

"What? Do you really not remember me? And I thought it had been the right soul in control this time."

It spoke again, slowly getting up to it's feet. Seemed this Hollow was shorter then the male actually expected, being five foot six, maybe. Now Nize could see it's extra long part fingers, part claws. The thing dragged them along the hard shell of the white mask, making loud scraping noise.

"Sadly, I can't really say, that I remember you. But you may feel free to freshen up my memory."

Even now Split felt no drastic emotions, carefully monitoring his bodie's state and the thing before him. Yes, there was slight surprise, and something akin to recollection have been prodding his mind since the Hollow spoke, but nothing more. Not yet, at least.

"Maybe this will make things clearer."

That spoken it pressed the nails into the hard surface, shattering it. The Hollow's body broke apart, in place now standing boy, same height, blue eyes and golden blond hair, short and curly. He had thin lips and wore what seemed as Espada's uniform. Only remains of his mask was now the ears. There was no way mistaking it, it was now he. And he was an Arrancar.

"Nothing? Maybe this then?"

Nize was in now surprised. Not lightly, but fully surprised and it was overwhelming. The Arrancar then just deepened this surprise by grabbing one bone ear and breaking them off completely. His outfit changed, pale skin gaining a bit of extra flush and outfit changing to that of Shinigamies black robes. Split just blinked in confusion, as the boy approached, now taking the sword at his side and breaking it in half, his clothing changing to one of those humans wore.

"Still nothing? Shame."

With that said his pours released mass of white substance around the kids body, quickly hardening into the Hollow form before.

"You aren't ready then."

With that said his clawed hand went for a direct attack on the Arrancars heart, but was met with a black blade just at the last second. Splits survival instincts had kicked in, head pulling through the overwhelming emotion at the last second to save his own life. But the rabbit was gone already and he felt it's claws going through his back. Wings took most of the damage, dissipating with the blow.

"For someone speed based, your sensory skills are way too slow."

Something Nize had concluded himself today on his own. This Hollow was even faster then the beings it had spawned before and much faster then the Arrancar in his enhanced form. Some blows were managed to parry, some not, leaving nasty gashes and he never knew from which side the enemy will attack, as it was just so fast. Not even thinking about offense, simply not having time for it. He had to enter Ressureccion.

But he never managed. As the black smoke and Spiritual Pressure started to gather, weight of thousands of pounds fell on his body, pushing the male down on ground. Like a doll his hands and legs were spread apart and feeling of hot, searing metal went through his palms. There was no way in moving his body or seeing what was happening. A deeper, slurred voice then spoke.

"Fight is over. We go! There is no use of this."

A whine then followed, ignored and then Nize felt something patting his head. He wished he could rip off the owner of that hand.

"Alrighty~ We go, but you better do remember, okay? We all want you with us!"

Another low, slurred command from someone, high pitched whine and then quiet. With it the weight and pain was released, Splits senses returning to their fullest. He could feel blood pumping in his brain and "Soul Drive" was reduced to 1% on the spot. It left even bigger exhaustion, both physical and mental. What just happened?
