A soldier never forgets his weapon

Nius was in thought, mentally looking over the different challenges he had faced in the past, and one in particular got stuck on his mind. Ranged attacks and flying opponents. He needed a ranged attack, something to counter these things. He remembered that in life, ranged combat was what he primarily did, but of course, he was only human back then, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t help.

’Hrm.. I need to focus, see if I perhaps have some sleeping power in me that would allow me to conjure up this kind of attack..’ He did as he had decided in his mind, focused on the idea of ranged attacks, of speeding bullets, of flying projectiles, and then it was as if it just came to him. ’Concentrate spirit energy into a projectile…?’ He opened his eyes, proud over how quickly he had come up with such a conclusion, and decided to try this out instantly.

As he raised one of his hands, he promptly concentrated to channel spirit energy into the palm, and Nius laughed as he saw the red energy collect there, but he was too eager, went too fast, and before becoming strong enough it destabilized and exploded in his hand, hurling him backwards. ’Damn it… I need to try again… I need to stay focused and be calm..’ He raised his hand again, slowly building up the concentration, looking at the red ball of spiritual energy growing.

When he felt he could not build it up more without risking another accident, he released it, making a respectable crater in the sand on impact. ’Excellent.. Good progress.. Now to try it out.’ Looking around the desert, Nius found one of the many hollow critters, this one being a nice slow lizard. He laughed coldly to himself as he built up a new cero, sending it off and killing the creature on impact. ’Perfect.. Atleast enough killing power to kill an animal.. But I need to try it on something more potent..’

After searching for some more again, he soon found a freshly spawned hollow, and decided it was the perfect target. After howling at it in the hollow way to taunt the lion-hollow, Nius loaded up another cero, aiming it at the beast running towards him. The hollow leaped at Nius, but right then he finished, firing his cero pretty much point blank, sending him flying away.

Nius went over to inspect him, and it was very badly injured, but alive, nonetheless. ’Damn.. Not powerful to kill one of these yet, eh.. Understandable considering it’s only the fourth time I use this attack..’ Nius ate the hollow without much more thought, carrying on to find a new target, and found one rather quickly, a vulture hollow, attracted by the reiatsu coming out of the brief battle.

The grounded dinosaur hollow soon found himself at a disadvantage in the fight with the vulture, but decided it was about time he used his new attack, and loaded it up quickly. He aimed closely at the bird as he charged his cero, and laughed as he fired it, hitting one of the wings and caused it to crash into the ground.
Nius went onto him quickly, tearing him to pieces and consuming him, but it was then he realized just how tiring it had been for him to keep firing off these things, and quickly decided he had to find himself to recharge, leaving the site of the battle rapidly, though proud for mastering this new ability.

+2 Kido to Nius

So calm, Nius hated how calm this city was at night. No screams of agony or cries for help from different crimes. What kind of society was this where there was no crime? Luckily, Nius was a being who didn’t find it very troubling to create some chaos of his own. Jumping from roof top to roof top, Nius knew just what he needed to do. Extending his hand against one of the few skyscrapers in this city, a red glowing light starting to grow in his palm; a forming cero.

With an inhuman laughter he let loose the cero, but with an amount of disappointment reaching lengths he had never felt before, he observed it making only some small amount of damage to it, looking sort of like if someone had perhaps thrown a hand grenade there. Nius howled, he was practically shivering with rage. ’Is this all I can manage? Is this all the power that lies within me?! I need to grow faster, I NEED MORE!’ His last thought boomed in his head, his body was convulsing with anger and hate for the pitiful humans who dared to mock him by building such a construction. He jumped down to the streets, smelling his way to finding the people still out at this time of night. He raised his hand again, blasting a cero into a young woman walking by, filling Nius with glee as those seeing it ran away in panic as some invisible force had just blown the woman apart.

Although feeling slightly more at ease by this random act of senseless violence, it wasn’t enough. He felt he needed to do as much personal damage to the people living here as he could, but doing it cero by cero would end in him becoming exhausted after the first ten. Something faster, less exhausting, that’s what he needed. But could he do something like that? Nius looked at his hand and started to focus, trying to form some sort of deviation of what he did when he performed cero. The ability to perform Bala came to him in an instant, the sleeping ability of the hollow realm reaching his mind as the ball of spiritual energy sped away from his hand, crashing into a window on the side of the road. ’Perfect...’

He looked up ahead once again, chasing after the people who had ran away after he obliterated the young woman with the cero. As he caught up with them he raised his hands up ahead of his face, charging balas in both hands and letting them loose, breaking bones and sending people flying, only five more remained, running for their lives and screaming in panic. Laughing once again, overjoyed by this newfound power and it’s remarkable ability to spread quick chaos, Nius felt it was time for bigger things, killing random people was one thing, but not quite the chaos he was looking for as things overall in the city were still too quiet.

Using his strong talons to climb up the side of a building, Nius reached the rooftops once again. With a bloodcurdling roar, Nius started to release a bombardment of balas at the side of an apartment building, explosion following after explosion being set loose as the wall was piece by piece torn apart, eventually leading to the whole building collapsing; parts of it catching fire as different containers of gasses were exploding. Nius was laughing in maniacal ecstasy now as finally the city started to turn alive. However an even greater treat approached then.

Drawn to the scene by the destruction and mindless destruction of the physical world, a shinigami had appeared. Nius smelled it; it wasn’t capable of comparing to him. With another roar Nius made a quick turn and lunged himself towards him, landing on top of him with his claws piercing his gut. With a raise of his hand the massive white lizard hissed in glee as a burst of balas crushed his skull and upper torso. Nius gulped him down triumphantly, feasting on the charred goo that the shinigami had become; and although it wasn’t tasty, he could feel that eating his work made his understanding of cero even greater.

Pleased with his work and how what had started as a quiet evening now ended with atleast a dozen lives destroyed, Nius decided it was time to move on for now. With quick moves and jumps and an opening into Hueco Mundo, Nius was gone, leaving the chaos he had caused behind him.

OOC: Not my best work, but been plagued with a bad case of writer's block lately.
