Water, Fire, Frost. Fight! (Africastrophe) IV
Fri Dec 08, 2023 7:44 pm
AKIRA TAIRITSU
So it begins.
The infestation of Hollows began to pour from the endless abyss that held home to the Vasto Lordes, Asher. It was a grotesque sight, a sea of reiatsu that his golden iris could see beyond the normal eye, a vast ocean of negative emotion which dictated a grand finale. Titans would fight here, Akira would not be one of them. It was his duty to assure there weren't any infiltrators trying to scurry between the lines, for the best. The Gotei was here and to be beside them was worse than facing down these beings.
None of this was personal, strictly duty.
He stared down a trio of lithe looking entities, each aiming to move across the smokey savannah that held damage from former colossal attacks, causing the Shinigami to allow a soft exhale from the throat. He’d begin muttering an incantation, though tainted in a way, mixed for Hadō#1: Sho and Hadō#4: Byakurai as each palm forged a sphere outline, a crackle of sapphire mixing with telekinetic energy, only for it to disperse and cause a small fire outward.
Tsk.
Akira’s right hand shifted, grasping midnight blue wrapping around Rivu’s hilt and flash stepped ahead, drawing swiftly down the throat and mid section of a more snake like entity, causing a rapid twist of the body and leaning into the momentum, fingers tracing across slick steel. Then it sparked. Following up with a swift Byakurai into the seconds Hollow mask, causing a small yet effective hole as a marking as it slumped dead. The third?
Handled.
It let out a large, sticky, tongue but Akira managed to step to the left, trusting in instinct and unleashed a binding rope of light with the left hand, letting it wrap around the mouth, causing it to bite its own tongue off as it writhed in anguish. He concluded by letting it tighten more, more as it suffocated like a python, coiling and eventually ceasing its movements.
."I doubt this’ll be the end but should it persist at this level, I can rely on my colleagues to clean up. To think Asher would strike out now.”
He claimed to himself softly, a potent spiritual pressure emanating from the man.

SIGURD
Just his luck.
The escapade across Africa's barren lands had landed him a pretty penny. It still is, but the last few jobs he's taken have brought him closer and closer to the root everyone else's issue. Security was tight as is, especially after the first time the good guys failed to hold the line, but after a certain point, you'd stop seeing any Vandenreich or Gotei members because of their inability to handle the Hollow that spilled out that hole. It made it all too easy for a lone wolf to snatch a pretty lamb and be gone like a Plus. Today just had to be the day everything decided to go to Hell, but a job's a job, and he's doesn't fancy letting his business expenditures go to waste.
Fighting's all around, but he's focused on his MTT 520-RR's engine revving as he sped through the battlefield, dodging out on any direct confrontations. Even with all out war all around him, it doesn't pertain to him, nor does he plan on interacting with it. Besides, with his Reiatsu sealed, nobody has any reason to approach a speeding motorcycle, and they definitely wouldn't care about the exhaust with Cero and Bala laying waste to everything.
The only problem-
The screech of a Hollow caught his attention, its proximity too close, and he's smart to keep his awareness up because, mere moments later, a beast exploded from seemingly thin air, running through hordes of soldiers as its Rhinoceros-like appearance followed the sound of his bike. It's fast too, but his bike's one of the fastest in existence. However, he doesn't need to chance fate here, so a little detour is in order.
With a sharp left, he heard the creature scurry to make the turn and crash, but it didn't take long for it to be back on his trail. The rock formation up ahead should do though, and with a little extra oomph, he pushed forward, using that formation as a ramp to send his bike flying. He didn't stay on that flight, jumping off to the side as the Hollow followed through the sky after the bike, landing on it as it crashed back to Earth. Coincidentally, the two idiots sizing each other up during a war would find that life hates them, and the bike and Hollow had landed not too far from them. The explosion that had occurred because of that interaction might have caught their attention, but they'd probably be more concerned with the hulking Hollow that would make itself known to them not long after.
And like any Rhinoceros, that creature wasted no time charging at the imbeciles on its territory.
The man who had cursed the two with their newest opponent found himself sneaking around out of view. He'll have to go the rest of his journey on foot, but he's a pro. He can handle most of what'll bother him out here.

AKIRA TAIRITSU
The chaos had begun to settle like snowfall upon the planes, a swift flick of the wrist assuring any remaining vermillion was swiped off the zanpaktou in a crescent fashion. It was shortly after this display and mid sheathing of Rivu that a voice broke his focus briefly, iris of gold shifting to greet Joshua’s person and taking in any spiritual anomalies immediately. It wasn’t difficult to tell the brief arch of the brow at his inquiry, a momentary silence falling across them.
How did he know him?
Todgestalten didn’t recruit any Shinigami nor was he a member of the Library within Japan. The only individuals left to indicate him with a description were Shinigami that had become second nature in his life recently, Gotei members. It was very like the Gotei to have a focus on criminals in their eyes than a horde of monstrosities that sought to devour all in their path.
That brief silence only enhanced a level of tension as Akira’s pressure flexed a little, a threat as the moist steel of his blade came to rest on the right shoulder. It was obvious by the venom within the following words that such might be the man Hana had mentioned but also due to his aversion clearly by the thought of Joshua.
."I can only surmise you’re a member of the Gotei. It’s best if you leave any form of warrant on me within your belt, considering our current-.”
Then did his focus break from Joshua, eye squinting at this dust that was picked up by a motorcycle of some variation? Though the individual on it was second fiddle comparative to a large Rhino like entity charging with intent to destroy. It was within that brief moment that Akira’s left palm tensed, a flux of reiatsu unleashing a wordless Bakudo#21:Sekienton! The intent was for the crimson cloud to coat them both, disorientating Joshua for a moment as the white clad man Shunpo’d from the initial charging to the right hand side.
It was the intent that Joshua would be the target for such a beast whilst Akira could manage a counter attack of more effective range, analyzing the creature up close as the bigger area of smoke would act like a lure.

SIGURD
A mindless beast has no need for tactical analysis. It only understands the situation as it presents itself, living in a state of raw emotional stimulant over any logicality. It's a creature that lives off primal instinct alone. Not being able to see bothered it none. Having something fly past it did nothing. As it charged forward, it did not stop until it crashed into another large formation of overturned Earth, crashing with enough force to splinter the formation's surface.
Tricks do not work on a creature that doesn't think. Once it charges, it does not stop to worry if it'll hit its target. It will simply charge again, but since there are two new targets, its small brain did not waste any time to pick one. The color white is a nuisance. The Vandenreich-aligned Quincy became its target as it stomped and roared before charging again.

AKIRA TAIRITSU
Tsk.
This Hollow was physically capable, a brutal impact tearing earth asunder. Its animalistic basis giving the impression not only of the armored, thick, hide that would protect it no doubt but most likely a method to close short distances to increase the damage of impact. Troublesome. Physical prowess? Akira was not that. He glanced at Joshua’s Hadō, noticing it dwarfed in comparison to his own skills, leading it astray wasn’t effective though the primal nature was useful insight.
Very well.
It began charging at Akira who stood opposite the Gotei affiliated individual and brought his left hand up against the base of the zanpaktou, muttering softly to himself before a gleam of yellow began to forge, forming itself drastically and beginning to forge. He wouldn’t risk a layered incantation. It would be an issue if it reached him. He calmly released an exhale, stating the Hadō which now enveloped the length of the steel.
."Hadō#32: Okasen.”
The thick burst of yellow energy shot out violently, upturning earth as it sought to impact with the creature, though it had been edited slightly. It would act more of a wave, aiming to slide beneath the large body mass of the creature to cause damage more so to joints and underbelly, hoping this would be a weakpoint. It did though mean Joshua might be in the firing line as its more fluid nature held little control, by design or by accident was difficult to tell from an outsiders perspective.
He did know that if this didn’t work, the oncoming momentum would be incredibly painful…Maybe it was time to give his latest bridge of magic another go if it came to it.

SIGURD
The animal kingdom is a world of direct and blunt actions. Deliberate meaning must be the norm at all times. Kill or be killed is the only way. Playing games is an easy way to lose one's head. With their actions deliberate, the two Shinigami would find their efforts actually successful. Holding back in hopes of convoluting schemes and strategies only work in movies when the villain is a wannabe genius.
With a beast like this, you hit it where you know will hurt, and then you kill it where you know it'll die. The Hollow found its legs gone as waves of energy took away its only means of movement. Then came the sword that pierced its mask. Even as a big as it is, size meant nothing in terms of overall power, and it lacked anything besides the path forward. Its death came just as swift as its charge, and its body would begin to dissolve as its life slipped into the distant sky.
Their hole would fall quiet, but the rampage of war continued around them. Screams could be heard from a distance, whether friend or foe. Now is the time to decide if they are capable of looking past past transgressions for a better tomorrow. One man, beyond their scope, knows what he's aiming for anyway. His armored visage simply waited. An opportunity will come. They always do.

AKIRA TAIRITSU
The creature faltered under the weight of their unified assault, a flash of yellow taking out the legs whilst Joshua managed to fell it with his own zanpaktou. It began to fumble, only for the momentum to cause earth to churn, mask broken, body bubbling as it started to dissolve into the Soul Cycle. Purification was such an odd thing for Akira, such an act having many moral inquiries. This wasn’t the time to be a philosopher.
His golden eyes darted around the immediate surrounding area for the individual who drove his vehicle, he doubted that this person lacked capability nor resided within the confines of Vandenreich or Gotei. They’d begin taking in the surrounding reiatsu, able to find traces and hoping to catch a glimmer of this individual's presence beyond normal sight, unless Sigurd was concealing it masterfully. He had not forgotten about the other issue, a Gotei member was right here. This motorcycle driving wild card ceased any hope of outright conflict.
.
."We may aswell cut straight to the chase. Our options are, crossblades with your duty bound intent to see me in cuffs, we engage the individual who drove this thing in our direction or act on a mutual acknowledgement that another day, another time.”
For once, Akira did not hold the usual warmth with a smile but a severe neutrality across his features. The intense scan of the surrounding area, each muscle tense with this unknown entity and furthermore an entity which he’d be more than satiated in cutting down now. Joyous. Even as he stood, the sadistic mutterings of Zathrusta only seemed more appealing.
