The Right to Rule

He sat in the chair his eyes closed as he listened. He listened to the words carefully taking each in. People outside their depth standing within the sands. Where were they when Nagato forced a leash on them? Did they come running before Nagato forced the invasion? Did they come and aid that hollow within Las Vegas? Slowly the temperature around the area began rising. As reiatsu began dancing around the area. His digits slowly landed upon his trident. He sensed bloodlust but it wasn't just his. These hypocrites had no right to judge anyone. They didn't stop Nagato, they didn't protect Las Vegas. So they came here breathing fire and roaring testosterone. "Don't....misunderstand...ten laws forged for..us especially...This isn't a regular democracy...This is a Hollow democracy...issues are dealt with...by battle!!" He said standing up now as reiatsu slammed outwards from him. His eyes glowing as they looked through each one. He didn't make this plan overnight. "I killed....every..single Nagato Follower without exception...His kind..if you seek the one who joined him you are too late...For that being died."


Flames began flickering from his skin as Anastasius rose from his chair now. He didn't sit at the center of this round table as a king. He came here to fight and protect the way of life. They did not belong to Human Kind or by their laws. You can't punish one for the many. If that was the case, then for each human action should Vastime not pay? Evil could be found anywhere someone looked. His shoulders cracked slightly as muscles became loose. He sensed the bursting power from Rose. And the evil energy flowing off the new being to emerge from the portal. "The false Prophet hm and a tangible future. Perhaps within your world of the living, but it had no chance within the Halls of Hueco Mundo." Reality was true in this statement only hollows interested in living in the human world went. ' Curious, are you angry perhaps because you did nothing when it burned? When Kimimaro destroyed Las Vegas and forced obedience from those of us attempting to give Yaksha a chance? I don't recall seeing you there.." His eyes held nothing but an accusation.

Anastasius had tried his best to give Yaksha a chance to fight and even made certain that his attacks weren't entirely lethal. He believed Yaksha had a chance in the human world. But that was dashed by the arrival of Kimimaro. Although he'd made sure to send Yaksha outwards and away from it. So if the hollow had been recovered. The dreams weren't entirely dead in the living world. But Las Vegas was sadly destroyed. And his loyalty proven by releasing a single Gran Ray Cero. But when Nagato and Kimimaro died, his duty became clear. He quickly executed every single Nagato supporter he could find. The mess Verathius made and so many others. A chance to end it all within one evening. That was the plan before a challenge came.


The female with her hollows and Rose with her curiosity. "Did you recover him, or just leave him where I blasted him too to die? Perhaps I should have trusted the Shinigami to handle that task." His eyes were cold and didn't hold much care about the difference in power. Anastasius had determination to undo this. This nonsense of a singular monarchy had failed them every time. It was time for a new flower to bloom in these sands. "Sit down...If you came here with some perspective on something a discourse is possible..But don't act like you are above us or higher and mighter. When you did nothing to stop Nagato with your Kingdom or your Power." His eyes stared at Hayden as Anastasius sat back down. His frame resting in the chair his eyes looking at his sister. He did not intend to beg her or plead with her. He let his anger out at how hypocritical this nation was. It was easy to bark and howl after the fact. When they did nothing the entire time.

"I came here after I butchered those hollows loyal to that man Nagato and Kimimaro. To offer an alternative route. " He said his eyes shifting to the spider hollow now and the male seething with rage. "Monarchy is a failed experiment at best in Hueco Mundo, these sands tell a tale of blood before any of us were thought of. Before even Aizen to come here. Self-Declared Kings and Queens walked these sands. Barragan the most well known I'd imagine. " He said his voice evening out as he calmed his reiatsu. Pausing as he looked at the table now with a long glance. " So I made a choice when Nagato died and I was free to act. I would fight whoever came here and make them listen. Even if I should die in the process. This Monarchy of one King had to stop, no single being can rule Hueco Mundo. " He said calmly making sure they understood his points. This wasn't to be a regular democracy where you voted. No this was a different subject altogether.

Hollows wouldn't cast votes like humankind and never could. " Four will rule the sands and all four must agree on matters. If a disagreement is had it's settled by combat within the sands. That is our way of life, we fight to prove points. " He said explaining what he thought of their current form of democracy. "I suspect many will be had in the beginning for those who hold the title of Sovereign, many hollows will come to disagree. So many battles will be held on the sands. I don't speak for all, but as far as I'm concerned Human World isn't my business or problem. I went because Nagato demanded it and threatened to kill several Espada if I refused." Anastasius and his body didn't hold power to contest that being. No, as it stood he'd simply die but it was also. Fear of an unknown and still settling into his personality. He'd only just been born in Minatumi harbor. "Ten Laws agreed on her this day by the Hollows and Arrancar within this room. That is my proposition to you who have come here.

He slowly brought both hands to either side of the chair ready to stand up now. Since he didn't know what actions they would take. But he knew for a fact that they were talking King's and succession so even the humans couldn't be caught unawares. It was time to wait and see the reactions that came. The Living world interfering here was unforeseen. But he couldn't deny he'd been surprised by it. He could see the energy forming from which Hayden and the other spawned. His eyes were special and so was his sensory skills. He could detect distortions such as those though Hayden's energy didn't help either. This was merely the beginning of the arguments. He suspected the angry male would lunge or attack someone. If it was him his eyes were trained on him. Watching the inner flow of his energy inside his body. Anastasius was more then prepared to fight if he had too. Die too if that's what was required.

Much like Verathius and William before him, death was an acceptable outcome. If it laid the foundation for something fresh and further from the failed pasts.
