We Meet [ MONSUTA ONLY ]

For the first time in over two years, Stefan Soan felt at home again. After a very long break, he had finally been able to make his return to the Monsuta organization. Many years ago, he had joined as a mere lieutenant commander in the Front Lines division that existed back then. His primary job was to essentially be a first responder for the Monsuta during outbreaks of war, invasions, and any other military action they would take part in. Eventually, after seeing the power of his head commander Hakai Chikara, he moved to the Royal Guard division and became it's commander.

It was about this time when he really started to make a name for himself in the world. Stefan, as the head of the Royal Guard, participated in multiple large scale battles in order to support Hakai Chikara in all his endeavors. If there was one thing he wished, it was to be around people as strong as his leader for the rest of his life. But that changed. He stopped just wanting to be around strong warriors, and instead wanted to defeat and surpass anyone and everyone he met. When Hakai left the Monsuta, seeing himself as just as capable as his old commander, he himself became the organization's leader. Having made a name for himself in the Vizard War and Malaysian conflict already, as well as having fought many powerful individuals including the leader of the Nature Iramasha, him being the natural successor to the Monsuta's throne was obvious.

As the Monsuta's leader, Stefan wanted to create a paradise for warriors of all kinds with the goal of always having powerful individuals to spar and fight with. He wasn't inherently evil, so he never really saw a point in trying to invade and destroy good or innocent people. It was during this tenure as head commander that he reached new heights with his powers, evolving to a level surpassing his predecessor and anyone he had met so far. Stefan, even during a time where the Monsuta was drawing in few new recruits, made his organization a force to be reckoned with due to his power alone. However, that wouldn't last forever.

Eventually, the Monsuta leader began to relax and his training and advancement began to plateau. He didn't notice this at first, though. Being more focused on his subordinates made him see the potential in Tora Lionus, one of his division commanders. Stefan firmly believed he had the potential to become a great warrior some day. It was perhaps due to seeing this potential that he noticed his own seemed to stall out. His first guess as to why this was had to do with him not having the drive he once had to become the greatest warrior the world had ever seen and, because of this, Stefan Soan left the Monsuta and society behind in order to train and grow as he once had. This would not last forever, though.

Unlocking new powers, as well as mastering them, made him believe it was time to make his return to the world he had once been a major force in. Unfortunately, when he sought out his old organization he believed his successor, Tora Lionus, would never give up his position. However, he disagreed entirely with what Tora had done and planned to do with the Monsuta. He saw the current organization as a cartoon villain, especially considering they had been forced from their original home Australia. It seemed as if they could not fall any further....until Tora just up and left, leaving them leaderless. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to return the Monsuta to the great power they once were, Stefan walked into South America and assumed control of his old organization.

So this was where he was now, walking down an empty hallway with nothing on his mind besides determination to create a new force ready to take the world by storm. Though he had been awake and prepared to beat all his new subordinates to the meeting room they'd agreed to join him in for hours, Stefan decided to wait till they had all arrived to make his entrance. In his classic purple and blue garb and a stature denoting a man on a mission, he eventually reached the door to the meeting room. However, the other Monsuta members wouldn't know this yet as he was making sure to exude absolutely no spiritual pressure whatsoever. He wanted to see who would readily bow to someone without knowing their strength, and who would not. Opening the door, he made his way into the room and stood at the front ready to greet his new comrades.

"Hey there, team! How are y'all doin' today? As I'm sure you've figured out by now, my name's Stefan Soan, your head commander and, I guess since little Tora was fond of pointless titles, 'King'. Any questions?"

The door creaked, as long as she had paid attention, an individual casually entered the room to have noticed Zwei's presence. First thought that ran into her mind when this woman entered the room? It was nothing interesting at all, to have gotten her hopes up that the Leader of Monsuta would be arriving early on to prevent the members from waiting, this started to leave quite a negative impression on the leadership that this new man may be leading this organization. However, this woman, Zwei bears absolutely no interest in her at all, not even worth the time for her to stare at, merely in moments that her crimson red eyes shifted away from any contact with the likes of Murai. Whoever she is, it was an unrecognized face considering how busy she was in making a name for Monsuta to proudly stand for, but she may probably be someone that either Tora had recruited or the new man had gotten over to the Monsuta. Regardless, other than herself and Tora Lionus? She held no respect for anyone else because she cared less to those who did nothing but sat behind their chair in relaxation while pretending that they are doing actual work. Tch, pathetic.

When Murai sat before her and greeted her? Well, Zwei didn't know how she should react in the first place to her entrance into the room, because she didn't bother in trying to waste her time nor the energy to think of giving her a reaction worth noticing. So, what she did was to leave a small sight of facade, smiling brightly towards Murai upon her greetings and within less than a second, her expression instantly faded back into boredom and simple emptiness in her eyes, as if she didn't mean anything at all from that smile of hers. Seemingly forced, she barely cared to show a hint of respect to her allies, regardless who or what are they, even the difference in powers doesn't bother or even affect her behavior at all. Zwei wondered whether if she should also reply to her greeting by giving her name since again, she didn't bother in wasting much of her time nor energy to even try and make a conversation with Murai, but considering that they are allies, she may as well give it away. Her face and eyes facing away with boredom written across her face and lips, Zwei plainly replied Murai with a simplistic greeting.

"Name's Zwei Yuki."

Short and simple, something that is not even worth discussing in the first place. From that point on from her reply, everything fell into silence since Zwei doesn't feel the necessary need to even continue this pointless conversation that will only waste her brain power to think of replies and coming up with topics. That was, of course, not her interest to deal with anyways. And then? This other man came in, with the looks of a fairly young man, but seemingly felt of the age of a middle-aged man. But again, even when he entered the room, regardless of his position in this organization, she had no interest or the intentions to start a conversation with him, and proceed to outright ignore him even when he greeted upon his entrance, to the point where her eyes didn't bother to turn its gaze towards anywhere near where the young man, Hiroge, had sat. Again, everything fell into silence once again, not even bothering to care about either of these two with her sight gazed away into the air without even sparing the littlest of a second to even look at them as if they are nothing but a worthless insect that she cannot bear to spare a second to look at.

After that? The man she wanted to meet in this meeting came into the room. Before the doorknob twisted and creaked open the door, she knew the man behind the door was the leader of Monsuta. It simply gave out that feeling, as simple as that, but even so, if it isn't Tora, even the new Leader isn't worthy of any of her respect to lead this organization that she once worked so hard for Tora to rebuild its name after how many member it had lacked. When he entered the door and greeted all of them, a 'team'? What a proclamation to be stated so openly. Even his position as the new Leader, Zwei never got out from her seat and bowed, instead, she sat there, now with her arms crossed, a pair of crimson eyes gazed towards the new Leader, Stefan, now slightly brighten up since the person she eagerly waited was here and yet, he never had the feeling of needing to ever respect or bow for him. With or without him, she will still fight for Monsuta when it is threatened, because the organization is what she exists for, because it was once filled with interesting individuals, and now just filled here and there with people she barely knew when she went out to make a name for Monsuta. Out of the entire team, many had come and go, and she was one of the very few that stood by Monsuta even at the time of peril, because she had seen the potential this place had, an organization that shouldn't be ruined by people that seemed fresh and weak, especially a leader that she was never noted of. After Stefan's greetings, she shot him back with a sentence, and easily enough, full of disrespect and disregard of his position.

"Not as pointless as your presence here."

Insults shot. She didn't care how she was viewed by her allies, compared to the lifespan she had deal with because of her pursue of immortality, this was one of those minor things she would have to worry. Otherwise, Zwei wanted to see and test out whether if this man is worthy of her respect and potent enough to lead the organization. Even if she doesn't have some great position of a Co-Leader, she wanted a leader that can make use of her capabilities in the organization, not some man who thinks he can do whatever he wanted just because he held the title of the 'Leader' in the organization. If it becomes necessary, she won't hesitate into fighting him, but of course, she doubt that it would be required to resort to that level of violence either, well, depending how well this man can take from her. Crossing her arms, she took her time to lean against her chair, arms crossed and quietly stared Stefan with an unamused expression across her face. Well, she'll see how things go from here.

Wow. Just wow... Everyone just seemed SO excited to be meeting brand new people, more specifically, a brand new person that would pay their salaries and lead them into battle. Really now, this was just damping her mood. At the very least, she could return the smile to the child across from her, they tried at least, and trying is half the battle after all! Of course, a fake, forced smile could only get you so far, and it didn't get her any brownie points with the arrancar. Of course, Murai wasn't exactly a force to be reckoned with... But she doesn't quite know that yet, so within her own mind, she saw it futile to hold her on high regards or treat her as if it's someone that she'll be on good terms with later. No reason to try for something that isn't going to give out any rewards.

Soon, Murai's attention was caught by a new, unfamiliar face stepping into the room. This guy just had a certain... Vibrancy to him, so he had to at least be a bit more peppy than miss dead child over her. A smile formed upon Murai's lips once more as she lifted herself up from her previous position, arm extended outwards as she waved to the man just entering through the doors... And once again, her efforts seemed pretty vain at the moment. The man simply stepped right by, sat down, and rested on the table. At least he tried to give a hello, and seemed a bit more tired rather than just apathetic like the other person within the room. This all seemed fairly fruitless so far, the people as dry as bones in this place.

Then he came, someone with some hint of life within him. Some signs that he wasn't just some faceless puppet in a big organization meant to only fight. Stefan. At first, she obviously didn't know who it was, all she saw was someone stepping through the two large doors that everyone else had to step through at some point. He seemed to be smiling, so why not return as big as a smile, the arrancar sitting straight up and giving an over-exaggerated wave towards the man once more. "Yoooo-" And then he started to speak. Wait wait wait, this guy was the leader? But she could barely feel anything from hi- Oh. It took her a bit to really realize that if she couldn't sense it, it was on purpose. Nice. The smile from earlier stayed upon her lips as she leaned back into her seat, one leg crossed over the other as she gave her full attention to her leader at the time.

-Hot damn Zwei had no chill. A glance was actually viewed towards her. Did she really not get that he paid their salaries and brought food to the table? Like, at least censor yourself and kiss ass to get more. She had to make a mental note to avoid this Zwei character if all they were gonna be was a detriment to any positive moods or feelings in the area, something Murai usually loathed greatly and loved to have most of the time. She actually prided herself on her ambition for wants, rather than simply being a brainless arrancar who just wants sadness and violence all about.

After a few moments of waiting for the air to clear after Zwei's rather crude comment, Murai began to speak up. If the chair had wheels, she rather happily spun it right on over to face Stefan, hands stretching out to her sides for a moment before resting upon her lap. "Soooo, rudeness asides, I got a question! Like, what happened with Tora? He sorta let me bump on in after a sort of... 'Fun' encounter. Oh, sorry sorry, I'm Murai! It's pretty coolio to meet you Stefan... Or 'king' if you really want us to call you that, I'm fine with either or." She spoke pretty informally int he presence of someone she knew could probably wipe the floor with her, but hey, he seemed so much more chill than the rest of the people in here. And what was the worst that could happen? A lot of things, actually.

Wether or not he responded badly, Murai found herself leaning right back into her seat, snuggling right into place as her eyes glanced towards the other two people in the room. Zwei... The girl to avoid, and this new guy. She didn't really have any bad thoughts about him other than he might need a coffee... Or five. Some random amount of caffeine to wake this man up. It would only take a second to formulate some little skeleton butler to tend to everyone's needs here to make this really seem like some big, bad, evil villain place like in those movies, with henchmen running around and tending to the needs of the higher ups as they plotted world destruction... Or take over, one of the two options worked. Well, neither of them really worked since she wasn't even sure if this was supposed to be a super bad place. All she knew was Lionus liked her so boom, she was offered a spot to join. A little bit anti-climactic, if you ask her.
