Happy Days are Here to Stay! [Shio/Ulv] Empty Happy Days are Here to Stay! [Shio/Ulv]

Thu Nov 30, 2017 2:33 pm
Work was finally settling down once more, after no small amount of unexpected activity. There were a great many who felt that the slower, lazier days of patrolling the streets for yet another plus that was reluctant to pass along, and quickly giving a lingering demihollow a rap on the head, before they became a serious problem. But Shio found it relaxing, almost meditative to walk the streets of the human world, even if it was a little harder in these days. He'd heard the stories of when shinigami moved unseen and unheard, as bold as anyone else. But now, there were a lot of awkward questions the moment you drew your zanpakuto. Nothing he wasn't prepared for, to be sure. If anything, Shio preferred the questions and situations that arose as a part of following the basic job requirements. It made him feel, if only for a short time, as if he weren't immersed up to his neck in a mire of shit and insecurity.

And today, he now had to scratch his head lazily, staring at a man who appeared to be a member of the local law enforcement, if he was any judge. They were speaking to him in rapid-fire chunks of language, one hand resting near their gun. There was a relaxed stance, but it was clear at any moment he just might get it into his head to draw his weapon, or start shouting for help. He sat there in silence, letting the words wash over him for a few long minutes, before raising a hand in a conciliatory gesture...or at least what he hoped would look suitably conciliatory to this culture, and cleared his throat.

"I speak Japanese, English, and a small bit of French or German. Francaise, Anglaise, et Allemand. Do you speak any of those languages?"

A moment's pause, as the officer's brows furrowed, before he nodded, rumbling out slowly, in thickly accented English.

"Soul was already taken. I suggest you get out of the streets before someone who talked to your friend gets it into your mind to complain to you. A few looked very angry, and if a mob comes to attack you I can't really stop them. You're not a citizen."

Shio's smile never wavered, but he did square his shoulders ever so slightly, brows shooting up as he looked around him, as if he were seeking an explanation; or looking for the aforementioned mob. As if he hadn't already been able to taste it on his tongue as soon as he'd arrived. Shio had developed a sort of extra sense for hostility, and it had hung heavy in the air today. If someone had already come and spirited away a plus, and if the Gotei was getting flak for their actions, then it stood to reason he had to investigate this matter soon.

"Could you please show me which way they took the soul? I need to confirm that it's being handled adequately. Think of it like...checking on a prisoner."

"Prisoner is very good description. I hear stories of Rukongai. Head east, warden. You will find your prisoner."

Something about the scorn in his voice made Shio's skin crawl, for a split second, but there was little he could do about it besides let it roll off of him, as he'd done countless times before, and begin to follow the trail towards...whoever would be daring enough to snatch a plus out of a public area, when it was well-known that shinigami had remarkably fast response times in this sphere of influence.

Something told Shio that he was about to need a very large dose of pain relievers. Perhaps a premonition of the future.

The Reborn Wolf




Ulv Auber




The more dangerous a place was, the more liable it was that someone was going to operate there just for the sheer sake of operating there. So, in Africa, where Vastime and Vanguard cast shadows across the land and everyone who was an arsehole got torn in half, obviously there was a ring of Arrancar kidnapping pluses. And not just for the turning them into Hollow thing either. These Arrancar had a little cave system set up out in the endless wastes where they pit two Pluses against each other in a fight until there was only one victor. The loser got eaten, the winner got Hollowfied, so not really good on either case.

So when Shio followed the trail and turned up in the cave-system, he was faced down by a solid 30 Arrancar who all looked in his direction at near enough the same time. None of them were Adhjuas, maybe one was a Menos, but they had number on their side, and thirty Ceros to the face hurt just as much as one Gran Rey Cero, after all. But all was not lost! And someone came up behind Shio, and beamed a big, broad grin at him.

"I didn't expect to see anyone else here! I thought this was going to be my personal Pit Of (causing) Pain!" Ulv exclaimed, making sure to say 'parenthesis' and then 'close parenthesis' to really punctuate what she was going for. The Arrancar seemed confused at the arrival of this new nutjob woman, but it didn't change the fact that there was a Shinigami here as well, so he could be dealt with then the girl played with, they were not exactly fussy. "So, you are here to kill them all and rescue the shiny people, right?"

"Well that -was- the plan, but they do say plans never survive first contact with the enemy. Now I'll likely have to call for backup, and try my best to tag one of these with a tracker so we can find out where they go from here."

Shio's expression was about as emotionally laden as wood, his voice low and cautious as he squared off his shoulders, hand resting gently on his tanto as he waited for the woman behind him to either move into a spot where he could see her without moving away from the targets, or to somehow buy him time. He moved his lips silently, doing his best to make out the details of each spirit present, to determine some rough heirarchy, something he could use to help turn the tide in his direction.

If he'd been alone, he may even have been willing to go in there and risk some manner of dangerous rescue operation; something wherein he purified the souls in short manner and then hauled ass out of there, hoping Vanguard would step in to assist him when the opportunity presented itself. But now there was a second party, and that mean blame halved; one couldn't simply get furious at him for not taking a risk, when there was another party present. Now, he simply had to claim that he'd given her the opportunity to free the spirits, and that it hadn't gotten anywhere in the process. There was something inherently liberating about being part of a group, where no one person's effort could be meaningfully measured.

Dozens. Strong enough to cause me problems even in a one-on-one. I can't afford to take a needless risk here. I need to escape alive, and the rest can be figured out later.

Take heed, my darling child. You've yet to ascertain the strength of your comrade. This may be a test of some sort.

Then so be it. I'll apologize for surviving later.

Shio's hands rested at his side, scanning the faces of each of the arrancar, waiting for the first violent act, so he could lay down a suitable distraction, and start making for open land, to buy time until reinforcements arrived...or until a miracle made itself available.

"Bakudo number 21: Sekienton!"

Thick, reddish-brown smoke billowed forth from Shio as he shouted these words...smoke that did absolutely nothing to impede his own vision as he slipped backwards, even amidst the sound of half a dozen heavy crackles of static, as if someone had just turned on dozens of radios.

6 of them moving to cover the exit. No way I could take them all in a fight. But that buys some breathing room. It's still at least ten-to-one. With obscured vision, combat favors the side with the lesser numbers. Let's sew some chaos.

He disappeared in his own far smoother swishing motion, with far less of the distinctive sounds, just to the edge of the cloud of smoke...and reached out with a hand, dragging one of the arrancar by a stray ponytail towards the ground.

Long hair, freely accessible. Sloppy. I might be able to get through this.

Why stop there, child? Don't plan to survive. Dominate.

Ulv Auber




"Backup? But I am here, and you are a mighty and proud Shinigami! Use your Zanpaktou, do it's flashy thing and together we will turn these people into squishy bits under our heels and or whatever you want to use to beat them to death" Ulv's tone seemed wholly confused with Shio's lack of confidence in himself and in Ulv. But then, he had never met her and she only put out a strange spiritual feeling that couldn't really be understood. And on the topic of things that could not be understood, Ulv didn't understand why he bellowed out a load of smoke.

Ulv coughed a bit and waved a hand, assisted subconsciously by The Wind - she had no ability to control it right now, but occasionally it still did as she desired - and blew away the smoke with a gesture. It cleaned the air, her sight, and her lungs, making everything good and happy. The Arrancars, who were buzzing about like flies in the appearance of a Shinigami and friend, took quick advantage of this, four moving to rescue their friend from Shio's clutches and three rushing to take out Ulv, the defenseless girl that had stumbled upon them by chance.

It didn't go down quite like that, however. A noise erupted from Ulv, like the roaring of a powerful engine, and then with a crack of rock, she was gone, the three low-level Arrancar who thought they had a good thing were left dumbstruck as their prey was no longer there upon arrival. But not quite as struck dumb as the Arrancar in the middle, who looked to be the leader from his garb and haughty demenour. Ulv had caught him across the neck with a clothesline and the sheer physical force did not just take him off his feet, it literally tore his head clean off.

"WHEEEE! Ulv and Co. Are here to clean up! Battle after battle up here in the Beehive!" She exclaimed. The Arrancar were stunned, caught flat-footed and unable to believe their eyes. It would be a long moment before they could recover, and that long moment could be used economically by a Shinigami if he wished.

Strong, but foolish. Probably better for everyone if I let her do the lion's share of the work. It seems pretty obvious she doesn't have a shred of subtlety, so she'll just keep smashing them into paste. All I need to do is give her an opportunity.

Shio's hand swung around in a smooth arc, grabbing the arrancar by the chin and gripping it firmly, as he swung down with his free hand, bringing his knee up with the other; there was an impact that sounded like dice clacking together in a bowl, and then the arrancar was flopping onto its stomach, hand grasping at its mouth as it thrashed about like a fish, trying to blink away tears. Shio inhaled, stomping on the back of its neck, just once, and then drawing his tanto without much ceremony.

"I don't know what 'flashy thing' you mean. I'm not much of a flashy sort. I prefer to end a fight quickly, but I don't have the benefit of being able to rip someone's head off with my bare hands. Or with a blade. I'm a scout, not some glorious warlord. I could probably handle two of these at once, if that."

First you're not sure you could handle a single one in a fair fight, now you think you could deal with two. You aren't being honest with yourself, darling child. Let yourself burn, and watch. Not a one of them will be able to strike you down.

Why should I? She has the situation under control.

Shio rested in place, still scanning the entire area, watching to see what the next move the arrancar would try was. He'd only narrowly been able to avoid getting grabbed by them when his 'comrade' had inadvertently done away with his smokescreen. And now he could see them scattering to various tunnels, like cockroaches...or like wolves that had suddenly found themselves faced with an enemy that they didn't know well yet.

"There's going to be at least one projectile in the next minute. Their cero have long charge times, but a well-placed one could collapse this entire network. They may decide to take us down with them if they start losing. I suggest you pick a path, and I'll pick my own. We don't have time to spend covering one another's asses any longer."

It was tactically sound, but Shio felt himself on the verge of tears just from speaking in such absolute terms. It was clear whoever this woman was, she wasn't going to let him leave this place without releasing his shikai, or one-sidedly stomping another of their champions into the dirt. That presented a problem; he'd been able to take one out with the element of surprise, and even now he could feel the arrancar beneath his feet squirming and struggling to get back up.

He knelt down, digging his tanto into the ear of the arrancar, stilling their movements nearly instantly, and then flicking the blood off towards one side, and beginning to walk down one of the hallways.

"If you don't hear from me in 60 seconds, assume I'm dead. Cause a tunnel collapse, and make sure at least one of them gets stuck down here. The Gotei will come looking for my remains, and they'd appreciate a prisoner to interrogate."

He swayed from one leg to the other, looking almost like he was playing hopscotch, or otherwise at ease, as he approached a turn in the tunnel he had picked.

Ulv laughed heartily as the Arrancar scattered from her. Of course they would run away from a being as might as she was was when she was backed up by her big Shinigami friend. Everyone was scared of the black clad reapers of death, and these Arrancar were no exception to that rule. he was even so very humble, claiming he couldn't rip their heads off with his bare hands. She found him pretty adorable actually, like someone she would take home and snuggle.
"Of course you can tear them apart, you are a mighty Shinigami! Your potential is limitless. Strike for the skies, and then crush your enemies with the moons you pass! Reach Heaven By Violence!" she exclaimed, a very loud boom that was echoed by a crushing squelch as one Arrancar tried to catch her off-guard, only to be caught off-guard himself by her reactionary speed. While lacking a spiritual output, she was clearly no ordinary woman.

Putting a fist through the Arrancar's face, she got a mind-voice in her head as she was perforating his grey matter. It called her a Microcephalic Addlepate. She had no idea what that meant, but she listened intently for anything else. It didn't come. So when she got back to the real world, her friend was telling her to cause a tunnel collapse.
"I can totally do that!" She exclaimed, taking a deep breath and then letting out a loud 'HYAHHHH!' scream. Hyper-potent Adrenaline from her genetically modified glands filled her body, and her muscles flexed to a point her overalls ripped off her, and fell to the ground in tatters. A few seconds later her fists slammed against the ground, sending reverberating shockwaves throughout the cave system and ancient stalactites fell from the celling.

"Grab the rescuing people, Shinigami Man! We are exiting!" She shouted, grasping a Plus herself and heading for the nearby Cave Mouth.

"That was a lot less than sixty seconds. I guess I should be used to this sort of thing by now."

Shio inhaled, his hand raising to the bridge of his nose for a split second, before he disappeared in another swish of motion, his tanto sliding out in three smooth motions as he appeared in the the cave opening. He sliced open one arrancar's neck from carotid to jugular, deflected a blow from another, and sliced open the arm of one holding the plus as they would a prisoner. With each wave of his blade, there was a sudden billowing of smoke, as if he were moving a burning branch instead of a blade. It created a thick enough miasma that all three of them were coughing and covering their faces, even as the roof began to collapse on them. He began to walk with the plus, back up the route they'd taken, and began to speak to her in soothing tones.

"We'll be out of here soon. It's over. You're heading to the soul society, and we'll do our best to keep you safe until you're ready to return to this world. It will likely be a long period of time before we let you back, but you'll have plenty of good memories by then, I'm sure. So just breathe slowly, and focus on your good memories. I'll get us out of here."

He scooped her up in his arms, disappearing in a series of quick steps, and then reappearing at the entrance to the cave, setting her down.

"How many are still down there? Can you tell? There's a very good chance they'll be rushing us in just a second, to get back their prize. There may even be one of them who can tunnel, or otherwise get through the fallen rock. I wouldn't plan for the fight to end this quickly."

He kept his zanpakuto at his side, watching the mouth of the cave with absolute seriousness, his brows furrowed in deep thought as he gently set the plus down on the ground, and motioned for her to step behind him.

"I'll protect the pluses. Probably better for all of us if you do the fighting part."

Shio had to work very hard to avoid turning his gaze towards her, or commenting on the fact that she had somehow seen fit to disrobe since they'd gone down into that cave structure.

Ulv got the pluses outside, and then after a few moments felt her body become strangely heavy, and breath became a valuble commodity. She had to gasp, take deep lungfuls just to meet the demands of her body. And her hands where giving off sharp, stabbing pains every second. She clenched them and that just made them hurt a lot more. Maybe what she had done in the cave was not the smartest of ideas. It pushed her over her physical limit, and she was suffering the repercussions now. Heavy gasping, and broken hands. Well, good job the cave behind them collapsed into a giant pile of rocks.

"Uhh....uhh....I think the fight is done. Unless you want to dig them out. And go on a maniacal stabbing spree. Which you are totally welcome to do, I guess. You are the Mighty Shinigaman here! And your doing thing was good, you took out them and you rescued you pluses and then you gave the good word to cave in the cave. So what is your position? The high rank, or the top rank? I don't know much about the Shinigami ranking system stuff, I only know a very little. But with such strength, mental agility, and command, you must be one of the really high ones"

She let Shio do his thing with the Pluses while she talked, if he was going to do a thing. As much as she could pummel a Hollow into none-existance, she couldn't forehead boop a Plus into the Soul Society, she didn't have the bits or the bobs to do that yet.
"All I know about the place is there is lots of squads and there is a smart scholar called Kenpachi Zaraki who will talk to me about the nature of combat if I ask"

"I'm nobody. A grunt. I'm the equivalent of the guy who runs to get coffee for all the real heroes. There are others who could've made all thirty of those creatures kneel just by walking into the room, and those who could've slain them all before they were ever sensed. Whoever you think I am, I have to let you down; I'm as plain as they come, in the Gotei. There are thousands just as capable as me."

He gently lay the pommel of his blade against the forehead of one soul, then the other, folding his hands over his chest and staring at the rubble that had been left behind. Something about the words of that officer of the law hung with him, something about the accusation. That he was a jailer, and these souls his escapees. Such a cynical viewpoint was something that only those who didn't understand the Gotei could hold, right? Shio was one of them, fighting right alongside them. He understood the importance of their goal.

And yet it was that same perspective that made him break out in goosebumps. He did know a lot about the shinigami...like their casual penchant for cruelty, like the way that they would tolerate any number of atrocities so long as one wasn't secretly harboring ill sentiment for their own organization. The fear of Aizen, or some new individual who would turn rogue and take a significant portion of their military force with them, had led to such a sense of paranoia and concern that he couldn't help but wonder if there was some credibility to the claims. That the Gotei had fallen, lost its wonder, and now it was nothing more than a big waste. A crumbling ruin, a testament to better days.

Perhaps the demons were to blame. Perhaps it was simply the case that the world had become too big. Or perhaps it had been rotted from the beginning, and was only now losing its infrastructure. The worst part was, now Shio was beholden to shoulder his burden of the weight.

"Thank you for your help. I'll be certain to tell my superiors of your assistance. I could possibly even get you in touch with Captain Kenpachi, though I find that very inadvisable. He'd probably kill you in his excitement at finding another challenger. He's much like a child throwing toys at a wall."

"Yes, there is. A thousand people vastly superior to you. A thousand people better, more suited, stronger faster smarter, better looking and more of a hit with the ladies. And yet none of them are here, stepping up to odds they could hardly face alone without any backup on the way, and possibly about to die or at least lose badly to an overwhelming number before their reinforcements arrived. You are as good as you wish to be, Shinigarman, and you should wish to be forever superior to the man you were yesterday. If you are the man who runs to get the coffee, then run faster, brew better, deliver more. Practice in your off time. Become THE GUY who gets the coffee. Attract the attention of heroes, become complimented on your coffee, get an offer to come train sometime. Grasp the rungs of the ladder and climb slowly, with effort and tenacity. Push forward until you stand at the top of the world, and someone gets you coffee. And then compliment his coffee getting prowess and invite him to come train sometime. This is the cycle of the Shinigami. The cycle that comes forever. So raise your broken hands up to the sky, whimper as it hurts to move your hands, and then roar, Shinigarman! RELEASE YOUR FURY UNTIL TO THE WORLD AND SEE THE WORLD EVOLVE AROUND YOU, AS YOU EVOLVE AROUND THE WORLD!! "

Ulv was getting rather enthusiastic at this point, her hands up to the sky and shouting with all her might to the beings above the cloud. Her eyes were deep pits of fire and something about her spiritual output changed. It sort of clicked into a new flow, an was still strange and nearly uncomprehensible, but was more real than it had been.
