((Ooc: I'm shooting for either speed or fighting skill or intel ))





"A mission in the human world!?!?!?!?!" Saroki yelled out, "Calm down Saroki! I know it's short notice but this is important!" The shinigami said, Saroki sighed. She was in the middle of a training exercise when she was ordered to go complete a mission in the human world, Saroki growled at the shinigami and turned away walking "Fine..." She said, she soon made it to the human world, everything was so different than the soul society, though she didn't know if that was for the better; Saroki reviewed a document that was given to her for the mission, it read
'Saroki, you are to travel to sector twenty-five, their you should find a large state prison. Their are a few dozen hollows lurking their that have been killing shinigami patrolling the area, look out though, we hear their is one hollow among them that is very powerful' Saroki ripped the document to shreds and started jumping from roof to roof traveling to sector twenty-five. Once she reached the prison she tilted her head, a prison? More like a labyrinth! You HAVE to be kidding me... She thought to herself, she flash stepped off of the building she was on and walked to the main gate, the whole place was like a fortress, their wher no windows or doorways except the main gate, she eyed the two human guards at the gate, she sighed a bit and walked through the gate; She wandered through the main corridor for a while, amazed at how many hallways their wher, was this a prison? Or a city of the damned? She could not tell...

Saroki halted as the lights suddenly turned off, she looked around "W-what the hell!?" She yelled out in confusion, suddenly a chuckle echoed through the prison halls, then screech similar to a hollows echoed through the main corridor. The cry made Saroki shiver, she sighed a bit.

Sarokis eyes had adjusted to the darkness by the time the screech stopped, she felt a vibration in the floor, she unshieved her Zanpakuto, a hollow charged from behind Saroki and had attempted to ram into her, Saroki quickly spun around unshieveing her sword and stopping the hollow from ramming her, her blade collided with the hollows mask. Though it did not break the mask, the hollow grumbled to itself and try-ed to endure the pain, this hollow was different...Though Saroki couldn't figure out how, maybe because it was bigger and more powerful than the others? Or the fact that it's mask didn't break...Saroki growled a bit and flash stepped above the hollow attempting to plunge her Zanpakutos blade into the hollows skull, though before she could the hollow used sonido and appeared behind Saroki "Fool!!!" The hollow yelled out slamming it's fist into Sarokis spine; Saroki was thrown from the impact and flew into a nearby wall, she slided down and emerged from the rubble. She growled at the hollow, she disconnected her crescent blade, she usually didn't have to use her crescent blades, but on some rare occasions she is forced to do so, her reiatsu started glowing red, she clinched her teeth and charged at the hollow holding her Zanpakuto to her side, the crescent blade hanging by a chain. She yelled out at the top of her lungs "Die you monstrosity!!!" Her voice full of anger, the hollow smirked and prepared to dodge.

As Saroki was now in range for a attack she focused her reiatsu into her blade and attempted to slice into the hollow, the hollow used sonido once more to appear behind Saroki, the hollow slammed his open hand into Saroki, trapping her to the ground, "Pathetic Human!"The hollow yelled out, Saroki flinched, What am I missing? How can this hollow lay a hit on me? She thought to herself, though her true weakness was her temper. With the short temper she had her opponents could easily predict her movements...

Saroki kept pondering the question to herself, though finally figured it out, relax....Be calm....Saroki inhaled and then exhaled slowly, the hollow let out a manic laugh "Haha! Your already giveing up? You weakling!"The hollow yelled out crushing Saroki further into the ground, Saroki started wiggling her Zanpakuto into a correct position to thrust it into the hollows hand, One....Two....Three...Now! She suddenly forced her blade into the hollows hand, the hollow screamed in pain and stumbled back freeing Saroki, she grinned and quickly jumped onto the hollows hand running up to it's shoulder, she then jumped off, as she falled she cut through the shoulder of the hollow chopping off it's arm; The hollow again screeched in pain and stumbled around as it tryed to endure the searing pain, Saroki landed onto the ground and stared down the hollow, calmness, that was the key to fighting....

Saroki flash stepped behind the hollow standing in mid air, the hollow tryed to slam his left fist into Saroki, though at the last second she flash stepped in front of the hollow and raised her Zanpakuto. Before the hollow could move Saroki sliced her blade down into the hollowes skull, creating a deep long clean cut through the mask, the hollow instantly died; Saroki landed onto the floor and shieved her Zanpakuto, she sighed a bit "I hope that was the 'Strong And Powerful' Hollow... She said in a sarcastic tone, a slight smirk wiped across her face, she then started walking further.....Into the darkness of the prison....

+2 Fighting. Nice ^^

((Ooc: Thanks Sal And same thing here, through out this whole thread, fighting skill, intel and speed xD))


Saroki had been walking for at least a hour, it seemed this nightmarish land went on forever, she let out a sigh and looked around her. Wait....This is a prison.....Why aren't their any criminals....Oe no....... She thought to herself, could it be all the criminals wher now hollows? Is that even possible? Saroki shrugged and kept walking, ready to unshieve her Zanpakuto at any time; Screeches of the hollows filled the corridors of the large prison, sending chills down any living creatures spine. Saroki halted and looked down one of the corridors, another hall of filth, she grinned and started walking through the hallway; It was hard to move around the hallway, it was so small. Saroki knew it wouldn't be easy to fight in some where like this, she looked behind her a little jumpy from the last attack, Saroki stopped for a moment Footsteps... Saroki thought to herself, her hearing was always bad, but she made up for that for her sensitivity to vibrations from the ground, she draw-ed her Zanpakuto and jumped into the air, what timing too. A hollow was just about to grab her, she gasped at the hollow, how did a dumb hollow sneak up on her!? She watched as the hollow attempted to grab Saroki again, she quickly flash stepped behind the hollow, she started to rush out to the main corridor, fighting here was suicide. Though right when she thought she was in the clear a hollow jumped out from the darkness of the prison and blocked the path, the hollows wher working together? Impossible! Saroki thought to herself, the hollow blocking Sarokis path attempted to crush Saroki with a single smash with it's fists, Saroki clinched her fists and flash stepped into mid air, she then ran behind the two hollows preparing to attack with her Zanpakuto. The hollow closest to her suddenly appeared behind Saroki using sonido, Saroki then flash stepped to the ground "So it's going to be a speed game!?" She yelled out becoming a bit annoyed with the two hollows, Saroki growled a bit as a hollow behind her singed it's fist to wards her, she flash stepped to the side of the fist and thrusted her Zanpakuto blade into the hand of the hollow, she forced the Zanpakuto down into the ground, trapping the hollows hand, she let go of the Zanpakuto and flash stepped in front of the hollow. Saroki was pissed, you wouldn't want to be around her right now, "You idiot! You stupid idiotic hollow!" She yelled out before roundhouse kicked the hollow sending him to the ground, the other hollow behind her attempted to hit Saroki with it's right fist, Saroki flash stepped below the fist and pulled out her Zanpakuto from the hollows hand.

Saroki then flash stepped above the hollows head attempting to drive her blade into the hollows skull, though the hollow swiped it's hand into Saroki, she flash stepped behind the hollow and cut it's back seven times, leaving large deep gashes, Saroki then flash stepped to the hollows right shoulder as it tryed to attack her. Saroki then sliced her blade down into the hollows shoulder, she cut the whole right arm off of the hollow, it screamed in pain and attempted to grab Saroki with it's left arm, she laughed and flash stepped to the hollows left shoulder. She then sliced her Zanpakuto down into the hollows left shoulder, she cut off the whole left arm of the hollow, She then flash stepped in front of the hollow, it wasn't very easy using Shunpo so much. Saroki jumped up and quickly sliced the hollows head off, though she had forgotten the hollow behind her, it stood up and walked closed to her, it slammed it's fists straight into Saroki, sending her flying into a wall, she coughed out blood and dropped to a knee, Well that didn't feel very nice... She thought to herself.

She stood up and focused ... She thought focusing was the answer to fighting, or at least a steady mind, the hollow rushed forward trying to ram into Saroki, she took in a deep breath. She felt her heart beat, she heared her heart beat, it was like a countdown, she closed her eyes and saw with the vibrations she could feel in the ground, she ran forward to wards the hollow.

As the hollow was now in range it raised it's large forearms attempting to act like a snowplow, she grinned as she flash stepped behind the hollow aiming one slice into the hollows legs, her Zanpakutos blade cut straight through the hollows legs. The hollow fell to the ground, Saroki flash stepped onto the hollows back, walking to it's head, she then drived her blade into the back neck of the hollow, she opened her eyes and walked out of the corridor. What the hell was going on around here? She thought to herself, she wanted to call for backup. Maybe this mission was too much for her, she sighed a bit as she brushed off a bit of dirt from her clothes.

She continued walking down the seemingly endless corridor, she then started to see something....A end, so their was a end to the large prison, Saroki laughed to herself a bit, she looked around wondering if their wher any hollows, she was ambushed too many times, she wouldn't want to be here without her Zanpakuto thats for sure....Saroki yawned and leaned against the wall looking around, what was with these hollows? They attack at the weirdest times...She started walking down another corridor dragging her Zanpakuto on the ground, making a annoying scraping sound, sure to anger any hollows nearby, well....At least annoy any hollows nearby...

((Ooc: Speed Please.))

Saroki rested her zanpakuto upon her left shoulder, she stood still. Listening, waiting for a hint of a hollow, all that could be heared was a quiet drop of water seeping out from one of the many cracks in the concrete; She closed her eyes, hoping to feel a vibration in the ground, leading her to a hollow, Saroki fell into a trance-like stat. Her mind completely focused, Damnit....Where are the hollows.... She thought to herself, the prison had at least five floors, surely the rest of the hollows would be on the upper floors. Though Saroki didn't want to miss one single hollow, she was determined to completely exterminate every last hollow inside the prison; Saroki suddenly felt a small wave of reiatsu hit her, she quickly opened her eyes and went into s battle stance, she quickly looked around her, nothing, these hollows could hide very well. It made Saroki uneasy, almost like a horror movie would. She didn't know where the hollows could come from, she took a few steps forward tempting fate, another wave of reiatsu hit her, it was faint, but still, she couldn't take any chances; Saroki grew nervous, she quickly spun around thinking a hollow would be behind her, instead all she found wher a few empty jail cells...

Saroki sighed quietly to herself, "I must be going insane..." She muttered to herself, her tone hinting at sarcasm; Saroki turned around and started walking up a dark staircase, leading her to the second floor of the large building. This level was even worst than the last, the place reeked of death. Saroki took a few steps forward into a hallway, their wher three hallways, one to her left, one to her right, and one in front of her. She looked around the ruined concrete walls, she then started walking down the left hallway, she looked into the various jail cells, Why the hell would they send someone like me to deal with this mess!? At least send a group of shinigami! She thought to herself, she was nervous, her surroundings wher unfamiliar, she looked behind her wondering if anything had been following her. Nothing. She kept feeling a sensation of being watched, Saroki walked a bit faster.

Saroki soon reached a cafeteria, she walked through the doors only to see three hollows doing various things. Though they soon stopped and focused their attention on Saroki, well, this was a bit straight forward, at least that was what Saroki thought. She stood still, as if she wher a statue, fear had seeped into her mind, she usually would have not been frightened in the slightest, she struggled to move her legs, all three of the hollows began to rush at Saroki, she watched them as they rushed at her, she kept trying to force her legs to move, Damnit! Move! She thought to herself, she yelled out, seemingly breaking a wall, just as the hollows wher about to hit her she jumped into the air, she then landed on the other side of the cafeteria; Saroki grinned, the hollows then spun around, running straight for Saroki. "This is going to be fun!" She yelled out running to wards the hollows, a wicked sneer wiped across her face...

((OOC: Speed please.))

Sarokis purple tinted eyes focused on the two hallows, as she suddenly noticed one of the hallows jumped into the air, while the other hallow continued running to wards her, almost as if they wher working together. Saroki quickly changed her direction and ran to the right, hopping up onto a table, the first hallow also changed it's direction, the hallow raised it's forearms. pausing for a moment then throwing them down onto Saroki, she barely had any time to react, though she managed to raise her zanpakuto above her, hoping she could block the attack. The massive destructive power the hollow inflicted on Sarokis zanpakuto nearly broke the blade, Saroki dropped to a knee, as the powerful blow sent a large shock wave into her body. fracturing her left ankle, she clinched her teeth in pain, she jumped back a few dozen feet hoping to be given a small chance to recover.


Saroki quickly searched for the second hallow that was last seen in midair, she grabbed hold of her left ankle in search of comfort from the searing pain. The first hollows suddenly retreated from the large cafeteria, the second hollow dropping down from the ceiling, Saroki struggled to her feet, it seemed the hallow tryed to ambush Saroki. The hallow landed a few inches away from Saroki, attempting to grab ahold of her, Saroki quickly evaded the hallows grasp and ran a few feet away from the hallow. She then pointed her palm at the hallow, "May the black sounds of those that have felt death emit and destroy, Hado seven, Black Thunder!" She yelled out, her voice pulsing with determination, suddenly a large wave of black thunder-like reaitsu bursted from her palm, the wave of darkness thrashed into the hallow, though when the black wave dissipated the hallow was not destroyed, only weakened, the hallows mask was fractured, and it's body was cut up and bruised. Although the hallow did not retreat instead it bursted to wards Saroki.

Saroki disconnected the crescent blade on the handle of her zanpakuto, she extended the chain as far as she could, she then loosely held the handle of the zanpakuto. The hallow built up a large amount of momentum as it ran, as the hallow neared Saroki she jumped up above the hallow, she landed on the hallows right shoulder. The hallow stopped in it's tracks and attempted to grab Saroki, Saroki evaded the hallows grasp, jumping behind the hallow, the crescent blade slicing into the hallows back, the hallow screeched in pain, Saroki landed, though before she could move the hallow spun around and slammed it's large left fist into Saroki, grinding her into the cement, Sarokis eyes widened as unimaginable pain hit every nerve in her body. It felt as if every bone in her body was crushed, her ribcage fractured, along with multiple fractures in her left arm, making her entire left arm completely useless.

The hallow pulled it's fist away and laughed, "Ha! Weakling! You shouldn't have came here! Now your going to pay the price!" The hallow mocked Saroki, Sarokis limbs twitched, though she couldn't move, all she could do was watch as the hallow prepared to kill her. Damnit! Why won't my body move! Move! Move! Move!!! She thought to herself, summoning up all of her strength, "Time to die!!!" The hallow yelled out.

The hallow started to thrust his fist into Saroki, it seemed everything slowed down, as the hallows fist seemed to move slow, Sarokis eyes glowed with the desire to live, Saroki somehow jumped to her feet, then strafed to the right evading the hallows crushing blow. She then gripped her zanpakutos handle with her right hand, Saroki bursted forward, hopping into the air, thrusting her zanpakuto into the hollows chest. The hallow stumbled back into a wall, "N-no!....T...This cannot be! You should be paryalysed!!!.." The hallow yelled out, screaming in pain, as it disappeared.

Saroki dropped her zanpakuto onto the floor, sitting down and resting her body against the wall behind her, she was spent, most of her spirit power drained, and a few serious wounds. She didn't think she would be able to fight any other hallows, though she never gave up on a mission before. She striked the floor with her right fist, "I won't give up..." She muttered to herself, she then stumbled to her feet, picking up her zanpakuto. Saroki then walked out of the cafeteria, she looked around, she had searched the entire prison, now all that was left was the roof, Saroki looked around, another set of stairs leading to the roof, she walked up the stairs for a few minutes, she reached a door. Saroki opened the door, she then walked through the door breathing heavily, she looked around in search of a hallow. She then set her gaze upon a large hallow, the hallow seemed to pulse with great amounts of spirit power, the hallow laughed as he noticed Saroki "I thought I felt a odd spiritual pressence..." The hallow mummered...

sorry for the delay

((OOC: If possible I would appreciate if this would earn a few intel points But then again I don't think this post will focus on intelligence much, but whatever, I will leave it up to the judges, cause i'm lazy ))

The huge hollow snickered as he laid his eyes upon Saroki, the red balls of light had a strange feeling about them, they felt like they could see straight into your very soul, it was sort of like a bad horror movie. Although the body structure of the hollow matched perfectly with a horror movie, a giant dog-like hollow with gray skin, it resembled a german shepard. The giant hollow seemed to absorb the fear that was pouring out of Saroki, she shaked in pure terror, she was never good with dogs, especially big scary dogs like this one...The large dog-like hollow smiled and spoke, "Oh, excuse my rudeness, I have forgotten to introduce myself, I am Cerberus, the king of the hollows in this prison, or maybe saying i'm the top of the food-chain would be more suited..." Cerberus chuckled, Saroki settled down a bit, Cerberus? It suites the dog...But this is strange, this hollow seems very inteligent, but...Hollows aren't inteligent, and he can't be a adjuchas...And if he is...Then i'm dead meat... Saroki gaspped a bit and jumped back unsheathing her zanpakuto, she fell into a defensive position, a cautious expression on her face. I can't let my guard down, adjuchas are the next evolution of a menos grande, and I had to have a group help me to be able to to take out ONE of those... Cerberus snickered louder, as if the whole encounter was unbareably amuseing. "Did you know...That over ten thousand prisoners wher executed here? And did you know that ALL of them became hollows...And more importantly...Did you know that I ate nearly ALL of them?!" The hollow exclaimed in a proud fashion, Saroki gaspped, over ten thousand? That was insane, Saroki was becomeing extremely discouraged at the moment, she could have just picked a fight with a possible adjuchas.



Saroki laughed under her breath, "So it seems i'm going to have to fight you...Correct?" She said in a careless tone, Cerberus laughed out loud, he quickly halted the laughter and grinned, his jagged and sharp looking teeth showing perfectly. "What kind of question is that?" He said in a jokeing tone, Saroki started mumbleing a incantation to a Kidou, hopeing she would have enough time to issue a ambush. "...Bones of sleeping Hollows burn to ash, claws of the beast tear the soul, impale my enemies with the spear of justice...Hado ten, Piercing flesh..." A red spear of dense reiatsu formed behind her back, she grinned as the hollow ranted on, Saroki paid no attention, the plan seemed to have been working perfectly. "...Hado nine...Smoke disaster..." Saroki mumbled as a cloud of poisionous gas formed in her mouth, Saroki ran towards the hollow and grabbed the spear attached to her back, she threw the spear at Cerberus. Saroki wasted no time as she exhailed the poisionous smoke towards the hollow, Saroki then held her breath and increased her running speed, Cerberus bited the spear as it flew towards him, he broke the spear, he then held his breath and charged a cero at his mouth, he fired it as a yellow beam of reiatsu flew towards Saroki with a mass of destructive force. Saroki could feel the denseity of the cero and jumped into the air, this cero was even more powerful than the ones fired bye the meno's, she found it incredibly hard to hold her breath while in combat, as Saroki fell towards Cerberus he jumped up into the air, two more heads suddenly forming near his original head, the three heads charged ceros, the head on the left chargeing a green cero, the one on the right chargeing a red cero, and the one in the middle chargeing a yellow cero. As Saroki and Cerberus wher inches away from each other Saroki grabbed the middle heads head and flipped over Ceberus. She landed on the ground and turned around, the poisionous gas had been swept away in the wind, Saroki took a deep breath and wiped some sweat off from her forehead.



Saroki could feel the extreme heat the ceros gave off, she knew if she wher hit by even one of them she would be dead, Cerberus landed on the ground and turned towards Saroki, the ceros had been canceled out by him, he chuckled, "What? Are you AFRAID?" He said while laughing, the words dug into Saroki's pride, her hatred grew for Cerberus, she grinded her teeth as she gave him a dirty look. At least she could see why he was named Cerberus now, now she had to figure out how to beat him, pure brute strength wouldn't work here, Cerberus was 3x more powerful than Saroki was, at the LEAST. Cerberus snickered and spoke, "If you won't attack, then I will!" He yelled out as he charged towards Saroki, each head was chargeing a cero, Shit! I don't have any time! Just as Saroki was going to run, she thought of a idea, the snake eating it's own tail. Saroki grinned, she ran towards Cerberus, soon she was a few feet away from them, she jumped into the air and just over Cerberus. She was a few inches behind Cerberus, he tryed to turn around, Saroki raced around Cerberus to make him keep turning around, this adjuchas may had been strong but he wasn't very bright. Cerberus soon grew tired of the game, he jumped into the air to perform a air attack, Saroki grinned and jumped in the air, Bingo!. Saroki past up Cerberus in height soon, she carefully cordinated her landing so she would land on Cerberuses middle head. The adjuchas was confused on what Saroki's plan was, the two outer heads started struggleing to bite Saroki, instead they wher only able to send puncture marks into the middle head, Saroki laughed, just as she expected, the two outer heads wher seperate from the middle head, so it was just as easy as trying to get two people to fight each other. Cerberus yelped in pain as blood flew everywhere, Saroki soon jumped off the Cerberus and safely landed on the ground, while Cerberus crashed onto the cement, cracking it.



Cerberus laid on the ground, slowly bleeding to death, the two outer heads went wild, shooting ceros everywhere, but soon they too suffered from the exauhstion, cloapseing. "D-damnit...How did I lose...To you?...." Cerberus mummered as his vision blacked out, his body disappeared, he died. Saroki laughed, if it really was a adjuchas then it was a extremely weak one, Saroki traveled back to the soul societey and turned in the mission, she exchanged a few dirty words with the mission-giver. She went back to her dorm and laid on her bed, the entire mission sucked every last drop of energy out of Saroki, sleep was something that was mandatory. Saroki's eyes slowly fell as they became heavier and heavier. Saroki fell into a deep sleep.
