Killing Spree

Ikaru watched the hollow staring at him as if it wanted to not only eat him, but to destroy him utterly for no reason. The thought of such a thing happening enraged Ikaru, "Must....kill...and feed..." his thoughts running only in short words as he watched the hollow with cold, calculating crimson eyes. The hollow had long arms which were topped with razor like claws that seemed to be able to not only cut, but to extend and retract at the hollow's will. Ikaru's body tingled in anticipation as he the hollow circled him trying to look for an opening, but it wouldn't matter since Ikaru's tail would make it almost impossible for the hollow to pin him down. While waiting would have been in Ikaru's favor, the thirst that had been building within his body seemed to take over his rational thought refusing any strategical thought to cross his mind. No longer able to wait Ikaru leaped forward at the hollow head on, scuttling as fast his body could move.

The hollow quickly took his left arm and brought it over the its head as Ikaru closed in on the target with blood lust enough to gorge himself for ages. The left arm came crashing down on Ikaru's hide pushing his feet deeper into the sand with the impact, but even with all that force applied to the all the force that the other hollow applied to the blow Ikaru remained unscathed. As if to let the hollow know that he was unharmed Ikaru roared, allowing his reiatsu to rush through his veins and also allowing the hollow to feel the amount of spirit power that he held within him. At that moment Ikaru exploded upward with his feet pushing the hollow's arm from atop his back as he cruised to eye level of the hollow he extended his tail up and over his head driving the syringe part of his tail into the base of the hollow's neck. The hollow pulled out the tail from its neck before Ikaru had the chance to leech away any of the hollow's spiritual power. The hollow threw Ikaru back to the sand as it roared and clutched the area where it had been wounded.

Landing in the sand Ikaru slid a couple of inches as he tried to absorb the shock of being thrown to the ground. Shifting his weight forward Ikaru was able to counterbalance the motion of being thrown slowing down his slide. Ikaru roared once again letting his reiatsu build up within his body. The hollow made a mad dash towards him dragging both of its gangly arms in the sand, the arms and the razor hands, screaming bloody murder at him. Ikaru managed to dodge to the side as the beast threw its arm at him, missing by inches. Ikaru scuttled around to the back of the hollow hoping that he would be able to land a devastating hit that debilitate the hollow which would make his job much easier. Extending his tail and raising it above his head getting ready to try scoring a quick hit off the hollow.

The hollow spun itself just in time so that Ikaru's tail came crashing down upon it once again this time stabbing its arm on its descent since the hollow had tried to block his arm. The hollow continued to roar in pain as the muscles in Ikaru's tail contracted and retracted making it possible for Ikaru to feel the euphoric feeling of the spiritual power being taken into his being. It would seem the other hollow had something else in mind that made it seem like because it grabbed Ikaru's tail and extracted it out of its arm once again avoiding certain death by Ikaru's hands. The tactics that Ikaru used would have to be more cunning and more devious tactics to try and defeat the hollow as he stood before him, towering over him as if it were now superior to Ikaru. The very thought of being underestimated enraged Ikaru even more as he let out an even greater roar than he ever done before.

Ikaru's being filled with rage as he stared deep into the eyes of the hollow with his own crimson eyes exuding murderous lust as he wanted nothing more than to feed upon the life force of the being in front of him. The hollow threw its arm at him once again, but this time Ikaru countered the blow with an attack of his own as he leaped back first into the blow of the hollow choosing to impale himself rather than to weight for the full brunt of the force to strike him. Ikaru then used the force to negate the force of the hollow's blow then spinning in the air, Ikaru extended his tail directly at the mask of the hollow, the syringe tip of his tail whistling through the air towards the hollow's face. Until there was an impact and the mask of the hollow disappeared into many fragments.

Ikaru crawled around the sand looking for another challenge which he could satisfy his hunger since the other hollow had not completely satiated the grumble that continued to emanate from his stomach. The receptors at the soles of his feet felt the cold sand with each step that he took, as he traversed the sands. Looking for another hollow to Ikaru continued to walk slowly placing one foot in front of the other as he began to feel a bit aggravated, "....Must...eat....hunger rising" Ikaru thought as he continued to walk. Ikaru's beak continued to open and close as he thought what it would be like to eat another hollow. As he continued to walk through the sand when he suddenly felt a reiatsu behind him and that was when he heard the clucking noise behind him.

Turning around slowly, Ikaru saw a hollow that had a chicken mask, but had the body of a lizard. The hollow clucked at Ikaru menacingly as it scratched the ground with its clawed feet, its head bobbing side to side as it measured up the distance between itself and Ikaru. Ikaru's body tensed up as he readied himself for the strike that he sensed was coming, "...Hunger..." he felt the urge bubbling up within his body. Letting out a roar, Ikaru scuttled towards the hollow with the most speed that he could muster. Before the chicken hollow could make any movements to counteract, Ikaru extended his tail above his head.

With swift fury Ikaru roared as he brought the tail down with incredible force upon the chicken hollow's head. He wanted to end the fight quickly as he had with the other hollow that had attacked him. The hollow clucked at him with anger as it leaped to the side so that it could avoid Ikaru's attack which would have put a short end to the fight. The chicken hollow then thrust its beak at Ikaru. Ikaru watched as the hollow's beak came crashing towards him with such ferocity and speed that he couldn't react in time to avoid it. Black blood spewed everywhere as the beak pierced through Ikaru's hide and he let out a roar.

Without thinking Ikaru extended his tail once again as he latched on to the body of the chicken hollow. The tail hovered over the head of the hollow menacingly as the hunger consumed every inch of Ikaru's being, "Prey...blood...hunger...feed..." Ikaru's lust continued to take over what little sanity that he had left. The tail exploded into action, crashing down at dangerous speed, moving so fast that it glinted in the moonlight of Hueco Mundo as it came crashing into the flesh of the chicken hollow. The chicken clucked in pain as the spiritual power was being drained from the body of the hollow. The euphoric feeling that Ikaru normally felt when feeding off of another being's spiritual life force.

The chicken wasn't going to give up without a fight, the chicken hollow twisted its neck as it tried to break free of Ikaru's tail. The hollow screeched again, pecking away at the tail in its body the hollow continued trying to fight. Ikaru stared deeply into the eyes of the hollow as it struggled to get away from him. Instead of waiting for spiritual pressure to completely drain from the chicken hollow, he grasped the hollow neck in his beak and twisted many times. Finally after a few violent shakes of the chicken's neck, it fell still as it passed on into the world of the dead. The body disintergrating right before Ikaru's eye's as he continued to enjoy the spiritual power that was rightfully his now.

Ikaru focused his eyes upon the hollow in front of him, its teeth bared in a permanent smile as it eyed Ikaru as if he were its next meal. Ikaru's limbs twitched as he waited for the hollow to make its move first so that he could counter it thus ensuring that he would end up being the victor of the battle.

The hollow towered over him, drool falling from its mouth in torrents as its long arms hung down and dragged through the sand tensing up as it waited for the opportunity to strike Ikaru with the killing blow. Patience was not part of Ikaru's being as the hunger continued to consume him slowly, taking away his ability to think a step ahead of his opponent as he became more and more blood drunk. Tasting the perspiration in the air, Ikaru could feel his heart beat accelerating as the adrenaline kicked in; he knew that it was time to eat now and no amount of strategy would change that.

"Must...eat...now..." Ikaru's thoughts became incoherent again as they normally did when he lost control of himself and went on a rampage in battle.

Roaring Ikaru charged the hollow without any regard for the consequences of his actions, only being aware of the hunger that now drove him to attack the being despite not knowing its capabilities. The hollow stood still as it awaited Ikaru's assault, apparently choosing strategy over attacking without knowing what its opponents abilities were. Ikaru saw this, yet he didn't stop as he leaped into the air, attempting to tackle the hollow so that he could feed upon its life force and rid himself of the hunger that now plagued his being.

Now the hollow brought its huge forearm up in an attempt to defend against Ikaru's charge attack. Swatting the gigantic arm, the hollow threw Ikaru's body through the sand of the desert. Ikaru bounced once before he was able to use his cicada wings to counter balance the momentum from the attack.

Despite being defeated in terms of raw power, Ikaru couldn't back down, not with the hunger feeding upon his mind like a maddening wasp. This time Ikaru scuttled at the hollow anticapting any attacks that the hollow would make with its heavy forearms, "Kill...hunger...rising" was the only thing that flowed through his mind as he closed in on the hollow. As if the hollow could sense Ikaru's change in strategy, it leaped into the air and launched its right fist down upon Ikaru's body in an attempt to smash his body. Ikaru saw the fist descending upon him and he tensed four leg muscles so that he could leap forward in time to evade the attack.

The fist was nearly upon Ikaru's insect body, but he leaped away just in the nick of time as he felt the sand fly up from the attack that would have assuredly killed Ikaru in one shot. Once in the clear Ikaru turned his crimson, blood lust upon the hollow as it wet its mouth as he imagined how he was going to kill the hollow and feast happily upon its flesh.

Having missed its chance to kill Ikaru the hollow roared as it landed and began to run on its arms at Ikaru, its eyes burning with murder and misplaced anger. Ikaru, now watched the hollow as it rushed into battle without knowing what its opponent was fully capable of. His tail twitched in anticipation of the chance that would present itself for him to use upon the hollow when it made its first mistake; which would undoubtedly be its last mistake.

The roared as it brought another heavy fist over its head as it made its way towards Ikaru, "...Kill...Kill...", continued to pump through Ikaru's mind as he readied himself for the move that would end the battle in his favor. The hollow brought its fist down crashing into the sand, as Ikaru used a boost from fluttering its cicada wings to escape the attack narrowly. Since that hollow was off balance it tried attacking with its teeth which was exactly what Ikaru had been waiting for.

Ikaru watched, his mouth drooling, as the hollow's head drew closer to what would be the cause of its short demise. Just when he could smell the hot breath of the hollow as its head came close enough were it could almost taste Ikaru in its mouth, Ikaru scuttled out of the way and extended his tail. Raising it over his head, Ikaru's body had already begun to prepare for the feast as the syringe-tipped tail sung through the air and into the hollow neck. Roaring, the hollow swung and flailed in an attempt to escape the dreaded fate which Ikaru had sentenced upon it. After a couple of minutes, the hollow's struggling ceased as its body stilled and Ikaru quietly sat and absorbed the delicious spiritual energy of the hollow.
