A Semi-Authorized Escape (Mania and Shinjo)

It had taken weeks of planning but they were able to actually make it work. Kenchi and Mori Yamada from Inuzuri district of the Rukongai had been working on a plan to escape the Soul Society and escape to the World of the Living where they could spend the rest of their lives taking all the food and supplies they needed from the unsuspecting residents across the globe. Not like they'd care, they had all they needed and more, it would be too easy with all the population unaware of their presence.

All they had to do was steal a couple outfits from the Academy and bribe a shinigami from the Seireitei who happened to have a gambling addiction. They'd forged the proper documentation and even come up with clever aliases and full-blown backstories for themselves. They were in the middle of bragging about their cleverness over a bottle of celebratory sake, being a mite bit louder than they probably should have been in some empty park when they heard someone clear their throat behind them...

He had been on his way to clean up his clothes and face after his run in with some unfortunate bandits, that had managed to press him past his limit, he was still trying to get his head together when he heard two voices in the distance, he could hear their happy voices, and as he got closer he could hear how they bragged about how they were going to escape to the real world.
A small sense of happiness rose in Zan, this was the opportunity he was looking for, there was no way that the bandits was going to hunt him down if he went to this world they were talking about.

Zan walked up to the two and cleared his throat, his clothes was still stained with blood, and allot of his face was also covered in blood, yet he could not go clean first, an opportunity like this did not present itself very often, no work, he just had to make them understand that without him, they were doomed to fail.
"I could not help but hear your plan, so ill make this short, you cut me in on your plan or things wont work out for you" he made a smile which just made him look really creepy because of the blood, normally he would be much less forward with the demand, and ask instead, but because he was still of balance from his last encounter he was still being infected by his other personality

After returning to the Seventh Division barracks, Shioshi Reinuu received his letter from the Academy, requesting his aid in a group assignment in the World of the Living. He was to accompany three Students in a patrol to help deal with the overwhelming amount of Hollows in Tokyo, something that had happened because of recent unit-diversions to deal with the increasing amount of Rogue Shinigami. Having no choice but to help, and since he was having a bit of a 'slow day', he decided to simply go with it, and proceeded to the Academy, where his 'group' awaited him...


Muttering in annoyance, Shioshi stepped through the Academy's gates and into the Central Courtyard. There, his group of charges awaited him, no doubt eager to get to the Real World for their first slice of action. Sighing, he walked quickly over to them, and, as soon as he reached them, they faced him. Something in their expression seemed a bit odd, but, concluding it was simply tension from their first real mission, he ignored it and went straight to business, ready to get his job over with so that he could return and get back to working on advancing himself in the 7th's Ranks.

"Alright! Lets not waste any time!" he exclaimed and, without a single glance back at the Students to see if they were following, he turned and headed out of the Academy. He wasn't too great with the whole 'Student-Master' relationship. As a matter of fact, he hated having to teach Students. It wasn't because he hated them, though, it was that he was simply horrible at playing the part of 'master'. Without taking a single detour, Shioshi headed straight towards the Senkaimon. He was the impatient sort, and so didn't care if the Students wanted to see the sights of the Seireitei, since this was one of the rare times they were allowed to leave the Academy Grounds. A few moments later, they arrived at the Senkaimon.

"We're here. Anything I need to go over before we head out?" Shioshi asked, without even trying to hide his eagerness to get moving. He had some Zanpakutou training he needed to get in later on, so he hoped that they wouldn't be gone too long from the Soul Society. He ran a hand through his hair as he waited for the Students to ask anything, if they were planning on doing so. He eyed the Senkaimon with an air of weariness. His past experiences in the World of the Living hadn't exactly been... Well, it had been quite difficult.

Zan had to keep a mask on here, he felt that a slight mistake could lead to them being found out easily, he did not care about the other two really, they could be captured and killed for all he cared, they were simply a way for him to escape to the real world as they called it.
"No questions at all" Zan quickly replied, they had all gotten themselves a katana to pose as their Zanpaktou, lucky for them, no one seemed to check up on it, they all proceeded through the gate, it felt weird passing trough it, and as they arrived outside, the gate closed behind them, the air feels different here, like he was not bound by anything here, now he just had to find a way to ditch them all, then learn the layout of the area.
*just kill them all, then you are free* he heard a voice say to him, but he ignored it for now, it would be too much of a hassle to do that.
He could just play along for now, there was bound to be a moment when he could slip away unnoticed, the two others seemed to be thinking the same as him, but they seemed calm about it all too, Zan was not feeling so calm, it was like there was something heavy in the air, something ominous, something looking at their every movement, yet he could not see anything.

The night was cool, the city was bright, and Sakon was more on edge than ever. He wasn't sure what it was... There hadn't been a patrol of Shinigami through the area in over a week. One would think the quiet would ease his mind but instead it only worried him. 'It's too damn quiet...'

Suddenly, as if he'd jinxed himself, a howl rang out into the night. "Great... Me and my big mouth." Sakon stood up and grabbed his zanpakuto, he started to head off in the direction he'd heard the all-to-familiar sound when another rang out in response. He stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of the second call. 'Two of them? This is not going to be good.' he thought to himself before a third and fourth howl rang out.

"No..." He looked up into the sky and saw something that made his knees shake beneath him. A garganta, and there were at least a dozen hollows pouring out of it...

Rakh had been clever to coerce the band of newborn hollow to serve him and Kithik certainly had played her part as well, the massive arachnid's intimidating presence certainly having made it far easier to "convince" the twelve fresh hollow that following the two older ones was the good choice to make. Now the clever mantis had come up with a good way for the pair to take advantage of their newfound little army of hollow and that was to invade a city in the living world and sticking together, using their numbers to render themselves untouchable by whatever would cross their path and especially now with the rumour around Hueco Mundo that shinigami had stopped patrolling the world it seemed like the absolute perfect time to strike in such a manner.

With the spider and mantis being veterans (yet still not particularly powerful) in Hueco Mundo, it was an easy task finding a way to create a portal into the living world both large enough and intimidating enough for the party to tear through dimensions with and it was not long before they all rushed out of the gaping maw that was the garganta and into the city below and one by one their bone chilling cry was heard as the force descended towards the earth. "Krrrkkkk... Rrrememberrr to ssstickkk togetherrrr... Our sssstrength liesss in numberrrss.." The clicking and hissing voice of the mantis heard by all of the hollow as the bright white group was given their orders.

"No questions? Good, then we'll go immediately," he barked, his voice coming across with more than just a hint of annoyance. Then, he turned and walked into the Senkaimon. Shioshi sighed as he stepped through the exit quickly into the Real World; he was already back again. Why did the feeling of deja vu and nostalgia come with a horrible sense of dread? He shook off the dark feelings, and then, muttering about needing to hurry it up, turned, motioned to the Students, who were all still behind him, and then began to stride purposefully across the roof the Senkaimon had popped them out on. Yet, of course, he was not destined to have a peaceful visit to Earth. The moment the Garganta opened, he felt it.

"Just my luck," he growled, "and with Academy Students, too! Alright, you three, get ready for some action!" As he finished, his voice took on an air of command. Sure, he may not enjoy it too much, but when the need arose, he could command and strategize just fine. "Lets move!" he cried, and then, looking back just once at the Students, he set his plan into motion. Perhaps the large group was here because rumors of the next-to-nothing patrols had reached Hueco Mundo; he planned on making them regret making the decision to come. As he examined the enemy, he saw what looked to be the leaders of the attack; a Mantis-like Hollow, and a spider-like Hollow. They would take care of those last.

He spoke the incantation quietly, under his breath. He would keep himself from being detected until the last moment, and then use the momentary advantage from his Bakudo spell to his advantage. Finally, he finished the incantation, and raised a hand in the direction of the Hollows. "Bakudo No. 5, Senko!" he cried, and then, focusing the blast so that it wouldn't affect the Students, the blinding flash of light exploded into the air, reaching the Hollows quickly. He didn't know if the boss-Hollows had noticed it in time to avoid the attack, but he didn't care, as he still had the element of surprise and had made a preemptive strike. "Now, Students!" he cried, as the first of the thrashing, weakest Hollow came down to the ground to steady themselves as they recovered.

What was he supposed to do now, he was not a trained fighter, and his sword was nothing more than a dirty old sword he picked up in the market of Rukongai, the ideas began racing in his head.
Maybe he should run away from it all, no there were too many hollows, some would break off from the main group and hunt him down. He could fight alongside the shinigami, but when it was over, it would be too obvious that he is not a shinigami by his weapon, and he had to get away from the shinigami too.
Now he had it, he just had to fight a little using only the kido he knew, that way he would not be exposed, and as soon as the chance presented itself, he could make a run for it.
He had made up his mind, but as his focus fell on the massive amount of hollows his body began to shake, how were they supposed to fight something like that.
He began taking small steps backwards, but quickly stopped himself, he had to get trough this, he gathered what resolve he had, and made ready to fight the hollows.
A light spread in the sky, it was not blinding him, like it was pointed at the hollows, he knew this one, now was his chance, he pointed his finger out towards a single hollow "hado #4 Byakurai!" and a white lighting was fired off towards the first hollow he could see.
