*Sees a Shadow glowing and smashes it.*If it glows,it's being used.

"Because, ah..." *His voice wavers, but he doesn't know why. The answer should be obvious by now, so why does he hesitate? He debates in his mind that it would be easier to get it done and over with; if there was ever a time to say it, it would be now…* (…It's now or never.) "…I… love… you…" *He pauses, but quickly collects his composure.* "…And I can't stand it… when you cry like that. …

… Because it means you're hurt, and it feels like… I've failed you. …Please. Let me make you happy. Let me help stop your crying. …Please." *His voice quivers after "Please", but he does his best to keep his composure, for her sake.*

*I bite my lip. HARD.* ''idiot...'' i mumble ''you're going to get hurt...'' Then silence. The door, slowly opens, just a tiny crack, and i peek out. ''...Aren't you... scared...?'' i sound unsure

"…A little," *He says,* "But not for my sake. I'm afraid that… you're going to run now. And then I'll never be able to protect you." *He snaps his pocky with his teeth nervously, and the stick flings towards the wall and snaps on impact. However, he casually pulls out two sticks, and puts one in his mouth.* "…But I trust that you won't. So… I'm not afraid anymore. …I trust you." *He hands her …

… The other stick, displaying it in front of the door's small opening. He turns his head, cocks it slightly, then smiles warmly in her direction, even though he's certain she can't see him* "…Pocky?"

I slowly slip my hand out, and gently take it. ''Thanks,'' i go to close the door then pause, then pause ''and... thank you for...'' my tone turns shy ''everything else...'' Then the door closes, leaving you alone.

*His hand is still in the exact same formation as when he gave her the pocky. He only just realises what happened, and his hand relaxes, as does the rest of his body. Exhaling in relief, he returns to his slouched position, fiddling with the pocky in his mouth as his other arm rests on his lifted knee.* "…No problem." *He lays back, hands behind his head and smiling contently.* "…My pleasure."

*Almost out of breath.*Just...One...More...To...Go...*Sees the worst one of all.*I...Can't...Defeat...It...There's...only...one...way...to...save...her...*Absorbs shadow into his soul and comes out of Ayaka's*They're...all...gone...*Faints*

Suddenly the ground shakes and the lights flicker and go out. The world explodes around you, walls crumbling in, dust clouding the air, the floor SHIFTING underneath you. The sound of screaming ensues. Echoing down the hallways, the sound of panic and chaos splitting through the peace that we had felt. On the other side of the door you hear a window shatter. My shriek of fear is cut short.

*He quickly reacts, getting up swiftly and forcing the door down, blades drawn and mask equipped. He stops flip on the light switch; it works, but it's dim and flickering rapidly. He calls out to her before he takes notice of this.* "HEY! Are you alright in here?! Where are you?!"

*Hollowfies but not by my choice and as a evil hollow*GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

You see a shadow darting away, carrying... something I scream, before the hand clamps over my mouth. ''It's a trap don't com-''

*He hurries after them anyways, attempting multiple times to use Pursuit but ultimately missing each time. He resorts to instead use Double Team to make himself less predictable, and under the guise of his illusion bursts forth using a high-speed Night Slash to chase them down.* "Then they found the perfect bait…" *He manages to hit the figure dead-on, but it only staggers, keeping its pace. He …

… Manages to keep up by spamming Pursuit, trying hard to stay on his tail.* "… And they caught the wrong Pichu."

[Alright, uh... AWKWARD time to leave, but I've got an errand to run that I've been putting off, so... See you whenever I get back! ^_^'" Sorry!]

[[it's fine]] You try another attack, but as it gets close, the figure suddenly disappears into thin air. You here me scream farther off to your left, but it's hard to tell where exactly. Lightning flashes and the castle smokes, many rooms engulfed in fire from the bomb that hit it. A helicopter hovers overhead, surveying the recage. an ''eye in the sky'' hunting for survivors, and eliminating …

all movement. Screams of the agonized dying carry through the air, staining your soul.

(Where's Otaku?)*Takes control*I...Must...Protect...

*Grabs Ayaka*I'm.Not.On.Your.Side.*Controlled Aura absorb aims only for shadow personalities*

Then you chose the wrong one to control.Zane Ricard,Class Z Pokehuman,Class Z Titan,Class Z weapon,and the only Soul Reaper powerful enough to be in the 14th company.

[Back!] *He examines the carnage, eyes widened. Yet another roster of innocents, dead in his care. He had let himself get tricked, and now not even Mitsuki was safe. His face redenned with blood and rage. These monsters have slain more lives than the average, innocent soldier in their mad conquest to capture one girl who was wrongfully convicted. The hypocrisy… the cruelty… the monstrosity… the …

And Arancar -1.Aizien banned me from Huecedo Mundo because I was too powerful.

… total, guitless irregard for other lives… the death and pain swirling around him… the efforts of a brave, determined man violated, tossed aside, and burned to ash… The thoughts made his blood boil. They were selfish. They were monsters. They were hypocrites. But most importantly … They were marked for death.

You might get crushed.Sorry,Ayaka.Bankai.*Turns into hollow with cannons for arms and a Zanpakto Scorpion tail*It's already over.

… His face began to twist into a demonic grin and his eyes widened. They had killed everyone, and they ENJOYED it. They deserved that pain as well… and he would enjoy giving it. His mask began to crack under the pressure of his rage, and he shot forward through the air at jetspeed. Guillotine at the ready, he decimated the first helicopter he could find with a single blow, then continued with…

★☆My Comments: May i just say, i HATE what's happening right now... i didn't even plan this... *crying* l know it sounds strange... but THIS STORY IS WRITING ITSELF... i'm sitting here feeling horrified at what's happening, even though i wrote it... it's an awful... strange feeling...☆★

…Subsequent executions at the still-airborn rubble to ensure its destruction. Then, he dashed over to the next one, slaying all foes in his wake, and then another one, and then another one, maniacle laughter filling the air. His eye caught the presence of the Policewoman from earlier, and he landed with a loud *thud* that nearly tipped the entire helicopter. He walked up slowly towards her as she…

…Cowered in shock, then lifted the tip of his blade to her chin, slowly moving it around to her cheek. He grinned at her.* "…Miss me?" *He swung his blade back, preparing another Guillotine, until he caught another presence in the corner of his eye; The shadowy figure. Empowered by rage, he dashed over to it at lightning speeds, and managed to severely wound its back using Night Slash as it …

… Skillfully attempted to dodge his attack. It looked around frantically for him, only to surprisingly find him in front of it.* "How could I forget about YOU?!" *He began to charge a final attack: Hyper Beam.* "…I've got a special present for YOU!!" *He grinned madly at its fear, and ready his attack, until… He saw Mitsuki. Crying. Scared. Not of the stranger, not even of the death around her; …

[I'm sorry… I write passionately when I try to convey a feeling… I guess I did my jub, huh…? D: ] … But of him. He dropped his attack. He stopped moving entirely, letting his opponent continue to move. He began to realize what he had done. He teared up, and fell to his knees, gripping the grass below him… He began to cry. He was no better than them. He was a monster, too… He hurt Mitsuki. …

… He couldn't forgive himself. He tossed his mask on the ground, gripping the ground below him so hard he bled. He couldn't stand himself… He subjected himself to stand amongst the wreckage and death. And… He layed there, and sobbed quietly, as his punishment.*

*Sends Ηēĺĺ Butterfly to Soul Society*

[…I'd like to deeply and sincerely apologize. You may have set the scenario, but… I was the one who wrote what I did. Ban me, report me, block me, unfollow me, whatever you choose… I'm sorry for this. Really. I didn't know it would actually hurt your feelings, let alone make you feel sorry for something that you never did… I understand if you'd like to quit, and neglect me as is appropriate.]

[No smileys to sugarcoat it. No excuses to justify myself. …That was inexcusable of me, destroying such a great story in such a harmful, inconsiderate way, and I apologize. I'm so sorry.]

You feel a gentle touch on your arm. 'Please don't cry...'' my voice is broken, but my tone is dry. ”Come on... We need to help the injured... we can both feel sorry later.'' My tone becomes authoritive. ''Now is not the time to sit around and feel bad... we've wasted enough time as is.'' i turn to my kidnapper and, my voice becomes gentler. ''Do you think you can stand Miss? We'll need all the… …

[No! It's perfect Matt... it's just... i've had good ideas before, and they've sometimes been wasted by the other person. So, i was really glad when you took the idea and ran with it. I hadn't dared to hope you would... but you DID and i'm so happy. lt's things like that that make a character more than words. I've poured so much raw EMOTION into this RP, and now it feels like it's paying off...^^]

(Otaku? <:( )*Releases Zan-Pak-To and 59 of me appear.*

[Heh, okay… THAT was unexpected. But hey, you're an expert at twists, right? …Thank you very much for that. I thought I'd hurt you, but you just… flipped it into a compliment. You have a talent, that much is certain! ^_^ But yeah, I love twists (except for M.Night Shyamalan's, those are just stupid), so I've… actually found this entertaining as well! Thank you so much again for not hating me…]

…help we can get. I gently support her to her feet and she nods. I smile slightly, then turn to the commander ''Chief officer.'' My voice is hard and cold, and she jumps.'You will face the consequences at a later time. Right now get everyone who can stand, and send them to help. Also, assemble your medical teams. We need them. She salutes then stares after me in bewilderment before huring off

[why on earth would i hate you Matt? Come on. We've spent the better part of 4 days working this RP out. Believe me, if i ”hated you” i would have stopped a long, LONG time ago. But writing with you has been so much fun! I think i've enjoyed this RP more than is humanely possible! Also, I love seeing how much you've opened up with your writing. I LOVE THIS RP! its truly a beautiful part of me now]

*Still not quite sure of what's happening, he confusedly stmubles upwards, and draws his blades in anticipation, seeing the policewoman.* "Y-…You…" *He stammers* "I won't let… you hurt… Mitsuki…" *However, it is obvious that he doesn't have the energy to fight anymore, and collapses to the ground, hands bloodied, blade drawn and eyes red.* "I… won't let… you…" *His head is pounding. He attempts …

… To support himself with his hands, but he had overexerted himself in his rampage. He was mentally absent then, so he did not notice it, but he suffered major wounds, not the least of which were dislocation, burns and whiplash. He falls to the ground, angry at himself for everything, regretting that he couldn't help Mitsuki [Despite actual events]…* "Won't… let…" *He collapses, and blacks out.*

[Thank you so much for saying that! To be honest, I feel the same way about this RP, and I'm glad to know that you do too! ^_^ Now, let's use this new momentum to improve our writing even further, shall we? ^_-]

A black form watches the chaos from the cover of one of the orchards trees, and grins, sharp-teeth glinting in the moonlight. ''This is EXACTLY as i was hoping.'' it giggles ''Yes... darkness in ALL of us, dear Hero... but especially... in YOUR soul.'' Its eyes sparkle in the flamlight, blazing wickedly and its laughter rings through your consciousness.

*He stands up, surrounded in a sea of darkness. Despite the obviously liquid form of his surroundings, he stands in the midst of its depth as if there was ground below him that was perfectly smooth and flat. Surprised and wary of his surroundings, he instinctively pulls down his mask and extends his blades… only to find that they did not exist. Suddenly, he hears a sound like an earthquake all …

… Around him, soon accompanied by the sound of a rushing torrent of water. He begins to feel the thin, water-like pitch-black liquid quickly run down all over him like a brine atop a waterfall, yet too his surprise he appears to remain at the level he was at prior. That is, until the surface of the rapidly draining ocean begins to close in on him, and when it touches the bottoms of his shoes, he …

…Begins to quickly descend along with it as if it was an elevator floor. The surface of the black ocean is perfectly flat and undisturbed, slowly lowering him to another location. He then feels something rough below his feet and ceases his descent, watching the ocean slowly slip away from his platform. Looking in front of him, he sees a large, grey mountain of lifelessness that seemed to extend …

… Beyond the bleak, silver heavens above. Wait… the black clouds above him were sideways. Or perhaps he was--…?* "HOLY--" *He catches himself before shouting, stumbling back slightly as realizes his position. Looking in the opposite direction showed very clearly a silver sky, as well as the peak of an obsidian monolith. He was standing on that monolith. Sideways. And he… wasn't falling? He had …

… Also come to realize that he wasn't dampened by the ocean he was enveloped in earlier. Only now getting used to his surroundings, a dark, monstrous voice booms throughout the disoriented wasteland:* [Your turn!]

[HOO boy. This one's a doozy! ^_-]

''Look, How the mighty have fallen.'' sneers the voice, ''But, oh, it'ss no ssurprise to USSS, isss it, Masster Hero?'' it giggles gleefully. ''Have you already forgotten,'' it continues ''the prophecy? and the PART you'll be playing in it?'' Shiny teeth flash in the no-light of your surroundings ''oh, yesss.'' it hisses with pleasure ''you've fulfilled it quite BEAUTIFULLY, Mr. Hero.''

(What if you add all of us to the proficie?Then we could merge sub plots!What do you think?)

*Prophecy:One day,a dark hero will watch the destruction with a creature of darkness.The destruction shall spread unless the few with pure hearts vanquish the darkness and replace it with light.*(What do you think?)

[That's up to Yo-chan, again. Her idea.] "...Heh. Too bad there's one thing you missed." *He looks up, brave and courageous despite his lack of defense.* "We haven't kissed yet. So, sorry; your 'prophecy' hasn't quite been fulfilled yet. I'm ALSO not sure if the affections are shared yet, since it was never explicitly stated, so… " *He points his fist at the figure, as though his armblades still …

… Existed.* "I'm going to have to inform you that I'm not quite finished yet." *He smirks.* "YOU aren't real. I'M not dead, and this is all just a hallucination!" *He dashes forwards, leaping off of the monolith, and rushes with his arms outstretched, beginning to preform Night Slash as if his blades were still with him.* "Look around. Black and silver; Dark and Steel!" *his armblades reappear, …

(Add"If they kiss,"In between the 1st sentence and "The destruction shall spread" and it makes sense.Myon,what do you think?And can I join your sub plot for a bit?)

… And he collides successfully with Night Slash. He then prepares to finish off with Guillotine…* "You're in MY world now!" *Then bursts forth with a large burst of speed. The image in front of him shatters like glass, as does the world around him. He begins to speed towards a growing light, the smell of rubble and the sounds of frantically ordered surrounding him…* "It's fine, Mitsuki… I'm fine.*

''shh, don't talk just yet...'' my voice comes to you, gently. ''You're pretty badly beat up, but you'll live.'' i smile at you, my first REAL smile to you. ''You promised, remember...?'' I hurriedly continue to wrap some bandages around your right arm, making them feel snug, but not tight. Tears are tracking lightly down my cheeks, but they're the ''relieved'' kind. Behind me you see people and…

…pokemon working together to fight the flames and rescue the injured. While you were passed out, you'd been moved into the make-shift infirmary. Doctors, nurses, and healing pokemon moved about quickly, but staying relaxed so the patients wouldn't feel alarm. And there were A LOT of wounded. Many had been scarred up pretty badly, but you were relieved to see that few had been critically injured. …

But not all had survived. The dead were being placed in a reverent manner, a little ways off from the tent. They were covered with dark blankets, to keep them from being disrespected. If you glanced at the pile out of the corner of your eye, it would look like a hill, but it was growing. A audino walked by, crying, carrying a small bundle. Another dead. As she passes you, something falls from…

(Myon,can you add all of the characters to the prophecy and can I join your sub plot for a bit?)

…the bundle, clattering to the floor. You look and see the remains of a small silver bell. Half of it was completely gone, and the insides were crusted with what could only be dried blood. The ball, that had made it ring so happily mere hours before, had also disappeared, leaving an empty shell, a hollow place, a hole in the world.

[[@Austin. Umm, would you be angry if i said: ''l like my own, orriginal, prophecy''? I don't mind you joining... you could play a pokemon fighting the fire, or something, right? i hope you will ^^]]

(Not mad and okay.)*Transformed into a Blastoise and using Hydro Cannon after calling the Soul Society and saying they need to send in a squad to perform konso on the pokemon souls*I need some help over here!

*He seeths with anger for his own weakness upon realizing who the owner of the bell was, clenching his fists hard enough to reopen some wounds and swearing under his breath.* "…I'm… so sorry…" *He suddenly remembers the rest of his Pokémon friends and attempts to get up out of shock, but in his weaked state Mitsuki easily overpowers him.* "Mitsuki…" *He grunts for his pain, but not for any …

… physical pain.* "Where's… Nene and… Tobi?" *He struggles with his words.* "Are they… alright??" [IS IT SECRET?! IS IT SAFE?! (Gandalf, LotR)] [Sorry, I couldn't resist! óзò)]

*Sees Arc.*Hey Arc!What's wrong?

I smile gently [[funny how we're kinda reversed at the moment, huh?]], and hold you close. ''Arc, stop worrying... you'll only increase your fever if you stress yourself right now.'' My arms clench slightly around you, but i'd decided to keep my emotions hidden until the problem had been resolved. I hold you a few moments longer then gently lay you back into the cot. ''I have to… go help more.''

[Yep! That was the plan; a nice twist, don't you think? ^_^] "Al-alright…" *He lifts his hand and waves at her slowly.* "I'll just… be here if you need me…" *He smiles slightly, watching her leave, then his hand falls back into place due to exhaustion.* "…I trust you…" [Alright, Arc sleeps legitimately now, and I have to go for a bit IRL. You and Austin do some co-op 'till I get back, K'? ^_-]

*Arc fell asleep, so he gives no response as Zane calls out. Instead, Zane meets Mitsuki, whom he asks for help with cleaning, fire-fighting and medical attention.*

*Hollows show up because of all the souls*Not now......

I smile, and readily agree with the blastoise. ''Let's hurry.'' We head out of the tent towards the engulfed building. Screams can still be heard from inside. I nod to him, and we quickly make our way inside. I cough, smoke stinging my eyes, but i'm here to HELP. I follow a scream in the direction of what used to be the dorm wing. I find a small igglybuff, backed into a corner with flames… …

*Destroys the fire*Go,before it starts again.*Turns into soul reaper form and starts destroying hollows*

…surrounding her. i quickly go towards the flames, and pass through the heat, the heat scorching my ankle, and pick her up carefully. ''You're alright, i assure her, placing her gently inside my jacket, hoping to spare her from the heat. A burning log falls from the roof, and i jump back to avoid it. Then i quickly walk back through the flames, and place the small creature safely in a audinos care

[Matt] A few more hours of fighting the flames we finally beat out the last ones, and carry out the last survivors. Ambulences arrive and the wounded are rushed to the hospital. I ride with Arc in the ambulence, still holding my emotions at bay. My thoughts swirl about darkly. To distract myself, i study your face, imprinting each feature into my memory. I gradually realize how... handsome you are

*Slowly, he opens his eyes, well-rested from his slumber. He appears to have gained strength through his treatment, feeling slightly stronger than before he fell asleep.* "M-Mitsuki?" *Despite having opened his eyes, he had not yet altered his gaze, and at first was unaware of Mitsuki's presence. His torso darts upwards at the thought of her.* "WHERE'S MITSUKI?!" *He shouts, opening a chest wound*

*Dashes over to Arc and uses heal pulse*Calm down,she's fine!

I rest my hand gently on your arm, blushing to know i'm the first person you're worried about. ''It's fine'' glances greatfully at [austin] for the heal pulse. ''I'm fine...'' i feel my emotional wall strength slowly breaking, and i blink rapidly, banishing the tears. 'i can't cry yet…' i tell myself firmly 'i need to make sure he's alright first...'

*I realize my own wounds and flinch*Ow...

*He turns and smiles at Zane gratefully.* "…Heh. Thanks, guy…" *He then turns to Mitsuki, looking concerned, then gently grabs her forearms.* "…Are you okay…? Are you hurt at all? Did the policewoman do anything to you?" *His nose bled from the stress of worrying, and he seemed embarrassed by the implication created from its timing.* "AH! HELL! NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I-- ...Nevermind. …Are you fine?"

I bite my lip and look down, my bangs sweeping down to cover my eyes. ''Of course...! Why wouldn't i be fine...?'' My tone is cheerful, but my arm trembles in you grasp, and my hand curls into a tight fist.

*His face is full of relief. Well… despite the blood.* "Ah, thank Arceus." *He motions to hug her, but stops himself. His face is red with embarassment, and he rubs the bac of his head while looking off in shame.* "…Aha… Sorry… Guess you wouldn't want a hug from a bloody knife, now would you?"

*Uses heal pulse on self*That's better.

*...After pausing for several seconds, he turns over to Zane to change the conversation.* "So, Zane, how're your wounds doing?"

Good.

"Well, uh... that's great then!" *I shoot an awkward smile, then turn towards Mitsuki to see her response.* [As a tip, yeah the posts of everyone who you just responded too when you're done. Since we don't get notifications about each other when we post, it acts as a sort of way to do so! ^_^]

*Rips off shirt and rips it into strips to bandage scars.*

[Yeah, like that! ^_^ Great job!]

(WHERE IS OTAKU?)

[WHERE'S MYOBU?!] [WHERE IS EVERYONE?!]

(OTAKU USA,WHERE ARE YOU?!)

[[Sorry guys, REAL life had need of me, but i'm finally back~!]] I swallow, still not looking at either of you. ''I'm glad both of you are alright...'' i take a deep breath, then turn to Zane. ''How're your wounds?We should get someone to look at them... I'll go find someone...'' I walk towards the door, then pause. I clear my throat ''Do you... uhh… want anything from the vending machine?'

Maybe a Sprite....

[I'm back, had to make a quick tribute...] *He chuckles to himself after hearing those words. Whether it was intentional or not, it reminded him of the time he took her to the hospital. He barely even knew her name then, and yet he still had an oddly strong will to protect her… Maybe that prophecy really was an influencer on things? This addition also reminded him that that same day was also his…
