C-Rank Mission ~ Dealing with infiltrating Shinigami

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:10 am

The gates hissed closed prematurely, leaving the five man team of masked shinigami in the human world until their mission was accomplished. They all stood around, gazing about in random directions sensing spiritual pressures, but they resonated none of their own, a mechanical device on their being cloaking the signal completely.

"Kitsune-san, there is a large presence towards the east. There's no telling if that is our target or not. How would you like to proceed?"

Out of the five white masked, one was marked with a red symbol on it, that was the japanese kanji for fox. There was a brief pause before the shinigami looked in each direction himself, "Take Kuma-kun with you, and investigate it. If it is indeed our target, contact us, and we'll join you. If not, just kill whatever it is and report back."

The shinigami who had posed the question nodded, "Hai." And with a gesture of his hand, he and 'Kuma-kun' were gone, flash stepping towards the pulsing pressure. It was about as random as throwing darts on a global map to land anywhere near Irou's location, but luck had been on this team's side. It would only be a matter of time before they stumbled across the weakened Irou and destroyed his soul.

Jinkotsu sat upon a bench as he usually did. He was in a small park on the edge of town, staring into the chaotic swirls of the water. He was watching the patterns that existed in all that went unnoticed by the general public. His clawed hands sat upon what one would consider a chin. He was more or less humanoid at this point. All he had was a tail and a mask, combined with a hole in his chest and a body made of white...material. Such was his life for now. Jinkotsu simply chuckled as he stared out into the chaotic spirals that were in the world around him, transfixed on deciphering their message. Of course, a message may not exist within them at all. His clawed hands fell to his sides as he lifted himself up to stand on the ground below. His head tilted to observe the world around him and soak in more of the chaotic sprawls that life offered. His tail swayed about behind him, somewhat idle before his attention was stripped away from the swirls about him. Something, somewhere, sent a ripple through his enigmatic messages. It ruined the glorious bits of information hidden within the seemingly mundane. How horrible it would be for whoever ran into the now irked Jinkotsu. He was so close to finding the message this time. He was so close to learning the answers he sough after about his mask.

The shinigami were rather quick, covering ground with speed and efficiency towards the source of energy they sensed. Even had it been Irou, he would have cleaned the streets with their corpses, as far as their Intel told them. They were under the impression he was low-end officer, and even if he had been, he could have out-maneuvered them with ease, but, fortunately or unfortunately, they were blissfully unaware of the hex on his person, that knowledge only resting with four people; two of which, unbeknown to Irou, were no longer part of the spiritual world.

"We're closing in. Wait for our report."

The two paused behind some cover, attempting to remain un-sensed and unseen by the hollow they had spotted. Unfortunately they hadn't been able to pull off the former, and Jinkotsu knew where they were by their lack of ability to cover their presence. However, what would be noticed by the hollow was that they didn't give off any distinct spiritual pressure as to gauge their strength, just a flat presence.

"It's a hollow of some sort. Class is unidentifiable. How do you want us to proceed, Kitsune-san?"

There was a brief pause and a voice came back, "Standby we're moving to your position. Do not engage."

Two. Only two. Well. Perhaps there were more. It was impossible to tell. Of course, Jinkotsu needed to deal with them as quickly as possible. The question however was to go in, eliminate quickly and unseen, or go in guns a blazin' and just tear them apart. It was a difficult decision to make for the most part but at this moment, stealth seemed like the better option. So, Jinkotsu would stalk his prey and eradicate them as quickly and quietly as he possibly could. He smiled wide as he ran into nearby bushes preparing to leap upon his new enemies through the cover of stealth. Poor souls wouldn't know what they ran into. Of course, Jinkotsu potentially had no idea what he was running into either. Regardless, he needed to protect Irou. They were his enemy. They needed to be taken care of, as mention. Such rambling thoughts. Such horrible ways to die ran through his mind. None of them seemed quite mean enough to a group of people wishing to kill his companion. Well, a group of people he assumed wished to kill his companion. It was entirely possible that they just wanted to find him and take him back for safe keeping. Of course, Jinkotsu really wouldn't believe that and he wanted to have some fun before he was forced to kill more hollows. Shinigami were a different breed. They were a new test subject for his abilities.

While they thought they had the upper hand, the shinigami were soon surprised as the hollow vanished into the brush line, its presence completely vanishing from their senses as well. That was a bad sign for them, and they both knew it. Instinctively, they drew their zanpakutou in defense and radioed back to their commander.

"The hollow's vanished from sight and it's cloaked its presence. We're going to fall back to meet up with you."

Again, a brief pause, and a reponse, "Acknowledged. We'll meet you half way."

They started to move from their cover, trying to remain as unseen and quiet as possible, hoping that the hollow they had just witnessed pull a Houdini had run.

{OOC: Stealth Successful: Both Shinigami are completely unaware of your whereabouts and presence. Send Battle Actions. Targets available: Rebel Tracker 1 (Ookami) and 2 (Kuma). I'll begin modding once this week's training has been done~}

Jinkotsu chuckled to himself. Well, in his mind he chuckled as not to give himself away. Having been masked, he slipped around behind his enemies. It was a standard ordeal to try and outflank an opponent. Of course, they may be anticipating that. They were soldiers essentially. From his essence, he fractured part of his spiritual energy to release a fog, or haze, that would make it much harder to deal with him. His lips curled into a wide grin as he leapt from his hiding onto Ookami (I'll just use names for RP purposes, not that Jinkotsu knows them). He would lash out with his tail then hopefully be able to bite into his victim and release his toxic secretion. Regardless of this, of course, his tail would lash out again against Kuma in hopes of disabling him. Afterward, of course, Jinkotsu would lash out upon him a few more times before launching a shadowy ball of malignant energy at the unfortunate target. It mattered little what became of these poor fools. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, they were in the right place at the right time for their jobs, of course. To Jinkotsu though, they were in the wrong place at the right time. They disturbed the swirls of beautiful serenity and understanding the plagued this world and drew him from his meditative state. For that, they would need to be dealt with. In addition to that, of course, it was a matter of defending Irou. If they were here to try and get him then they absolutely needed taken care of.

"Hahaha. Can I help you? Are you looking for someone? Perhaps I can make you smile! I would absolutely love to make you smile!"

With that, Jinkotsu began to laugh hysterically as he hopefully dug his claws into his foes. They were Shinigami of course and that meant there was no telling what would happen during this engagement or skirmish as it was.

Quote:

Both the shinigami could barely even tell what happened to them as the haze settled around the area. The attacks were fierce, precise, and their own were panicked, unsteady as they started to fear what waited for them after death: Nothing. One found himself struggling in the tail of the beast hiding in the haze, and the other suffering from a poisonous wound.

Their attacks were futile most, save one, not even finding their mark. It was a futile attempt at defense.

(Sorry for my Lateness)

Having been hit, Jinkotsu grumbled. Snorting, he opened his clawed hands (which lack the claw weapon, of course) and roared. Lifting his body upright from its stalking position, Jinkotsu began to drive his hands into his opponent, Ookami. Assessing the situation from his first strikes, they seemed to be...weaker...than expected. He had to play it down like he was simply a standard Hollow so that they would avoid sending even more of their kind to find them at this point. After relentlessly striking at Ookami, Jinkotsu turned his attention towards Kuma, doing the exact same thing to them as well. These annoying Shinigami would be dispatched as quickly as possible so that he could get back on his way to taking care of Irou. That was his initial mission in this world anyway. If he didn't deal with these guys quickly then Irou could be attacked at any moment without his knowing and he would have to be considered a failure.
