Zoran Zazaravitch stood near the window of hi s abode, looking outside of his window and glaring upon the outside world. His arm was bare, the bleeding ceased for the time being due to a lack of blood in the appendage, causing him to be weakened physically from the effects. This caused it to burn even more than normal, however. So many things had happened recently. The Espada had taken not one, but not two Captains now? Well, they couldn’t just stand around and let this happen..No, they needed a plan. Some way to organize and set up for events predetermined. Though he wasn’t usually the one to actually attempt such a thing, no one else was going to, so he had little choice. With the lack of a Captain Commander, they needed to have a meeting. The disorganized and blunt methods used so far have only proved to fail time and time again. Exhaling with a sigh, the fatigued taicho of squad nine opened his mahogany drawer, wrapping his fingers around a small vile of blood. This blood may have seemed like a small amount at first, but upon injection, t expanded highly. Enough so to restore the full amount he had lost into his body. Using the vile, Zoran Zazaravitch quickly stabbed the edge of the needle in to his blood vein, a sharp pain moving through his body. A shot normally didn’t hurt that bad, but because of how damaged his arm was, even such simple things like that caused substantial pain to the body. Though, he had gotten a tad more used to it over the years since he first obtained the injury against the last generation of Espada.

Zoran Zazaravitch quickly took the vile out, the blood having been injected into his arm and starting to expand already. Traces of blood leaked from his arm as normal now. Putting the vial back into the drawer, he reached for the set of bandages he had recently obtained to replace his old ones. Wrapping the material around his arm, the former white color of the cloth was altered to red from the blood being absorbed in to the material. From shoulder to the tips of each finger, the material covered his left-arm, giving him the appearance most knew him by, if at all. Turning toward the door, Zoran would set his plans in to motion, hoping that the others complied accordingly. He had sent a messenger toe ach taicho still available in the Gotei thirteen court guard squads. The message was delivered by members of his own squad, being specialist in delivering information. In the message, the individuals would simply address each individual captain by rank and name, following up by asking them to report to the main hall in the first division barracks where meetings were normally made. It was also stated that the meeting be strictly Captains. No one else. The things being discussed were of too great importance to speak about with the seated officers, or even the lieutenants. As one could inquire, it would also be mentioned that Zoran was the one calling it. Though new to the captaincy, he had already helped out some of the Captains with personal affairs and dealt with some pressing issues that would have him known decently by now. In regards to who he was, at least.

Keeping his power restrained to the normal novice-captain level he stayed at while out of combat, Zoran Zazaravitch vanished from the squad nine barracks in an instant, moving at speeds superior to that of most in the Soul Society albeit the shunpo technique. It was only a minute or two before he reached the first squad barracks, having arrived at the same time the first messengers would have reached the Captains. He wanted to be the first here, seeing as how he was the one calling the whole thing. Though, it was still a pain. He hated having to work on things like this, but when no one else was going to do a damn thing, there was no point waiting it out. Besides, this wasn’t the every day paperwork. No, this was a matter of life and death. Simplistic complications needing to be fixed and redone. Entering the main hall of the half-empty first squad barracks, he made his way into the main hall, looking at the empty chairs positioned around a single long table. Walking toward his normal seat, being the fourth seat down on the right-half of the table, the taicho of squad nine lowered himself on to it, taking a seat and waiting for the others to show up. He laid his shoulder against the table in front of him, using it as a support to lay his hand against the side of his face. He pondered how he was going to speak toward the group when they all decided to show up. Nor did he know if they actually would listen to his ideas or not. It was all a matter of chance and adaptation. Though, one thing he knew for sure was that things were only going to get worse if they continued now how they have been for the past few months.

(ooc: if it all right and it fits time wise if i rp as if kieran already gone though the events of rampaging beast?)

ic: i was at my home outside meditating in the air due to the fact that my lightning reiatsu was flaring up to some recent events and i wanted to get it back under control. No use having a captain with wild reiatsu that could do a lot of damage now that would be worse then if i was missing or been catched. So here i was in the air slowly bringing my reiatsu under control while i was doing this a storm of lightning bolts were slowly fading away a bolt at a time. When i started this it was a solid orb of lightning around me by the time i felt the reiatsu of the messager it was thin enough to catch glimps of me in the middle of the swirlling vortex of lightning. I stop meditating and the lightning fades away but i still have a bit dancing on my body due to the fact that my reiatsu was still not fully under my control. I listen to what the messager had to say. It started out with addressing me by rank and name then went on to say that there was a meeting called by the 9th division captain for only captains and no one else. I then say to the messager. "thank you for that you may go now." the messager just bows and disappears in a flash of shunpo. I then use shunpo to get ready then i start to head to the 1st division where the meetings of captains have been hold ever since the formation of the gotei 13. I appear outside the doors and walk though them seeing that the 9th division captain was all ready there not that i was suprised considering that he was the one that called it. I walk to my seat of the table two up from where the 9th captain was seating and i seat down with a little bit of trouble and stiffness due to the fact that i still have not fully healed from that attack of that demon the wounds are fresh scars that will fade it just that it was the most damage was on my legs and i turn and address the captain."hay there the name kieran muruguma."

[Posting as Minoru, as I assume he would take Captain Amaya's place in the meeting, since he would essentially be acting captain of squad two.]

Lt. Minoru Nao could now be found walking around the barracks of Squad Two, his long black and silver toned hair was wrapped in jade cloth in a pony tail style. Minoru was wearing his Lt. Badge looped onto his belt and had taken it upon himself to shoulder his own version of Squad Two's Captain Haori. Minoru's zanpakuto was tied to his back beneath the haori, the handle sticking above his left shoulder. Beneath his uniform Minoru's midsection was still wrapped in bandages, as well as fresher bandages from new wounds caused in Captain Amaya's capture. Minoru was walking back towards Captain Amaya's office in order to do the days paperwork when he was stopped by a messenger from Squad Nine.

"Lieutenant Minoru Nao, sir, Captain Zoran of Squad Nine has called a Captains meeting, and although you are not a Captain it is my understanding you have taken upon yourself Captain Amaya's duties." The messenger delivered his message clearly before vanishing with shunpo, not bothering to await Minoru's response knowing he would attend the meeting. After receiving the message Minoru sighed, he knew the only reason he'd be attending the meeting was the simple fact that he had taken on Captain Amaya's duties. Thus Minoru quickly vanished into the depths of Squad Two's barracks to put someone in charge while he was at the meeting.

Minoru would then once again vanish using shunpo, this time on his way to the First Division Barracks and the room the Captains met in. Minoru would appear outside the meeting room's doors before stepping in and walking towards the table, noticing that Captain's Zoran and Kieran were already here Minoru nodded towards them before taking his seat in Captain Amaya's place. Hello Captains, I hope I will not be intruding on this meeting. But I have taken on Captain Amaya's duties until her return.. So I thought it best I attend the meeting. Minoru's voice would only convey how serious he felt about the meeting. After he spoke Minoru would rest his arms on the table infront of him, and his chin on a fist as he awaited the rest of the captains arrival.

Far away from soul society,in the wilderness of the spirit world. I stand sword out held in both hands. My heart beats faster and faster as I strike my target,a large stone slab in a clearing. Every strike was a hard as the last and every strike jot the same spot everytime. Sweat was pouring down my faces and neck,my body was soaked in sweat. My hands were bloody as well in the slab bloody fist prints mar the surface in tiny craters caused by the impact. Around my neck sat a white mask,the type a ninja would were.

My reiatsu flared as I prepared to launch another set of strikes. Leaping into,the air I proform a series of twenty one quick strike mid way up the slab. Landing upon my feet I feel someone coming up on my fast. Pulling up my,half mask to cover from my nose down I wait for whatever or whomever it was to arrive.

Not very long after pulling my mask up did a shinigami messenger arrives. I am standing with my back to him as he stops his shunpo'd running!Why are you,here and how did you,find me? I ask the messenger without turning around. He bows I assume and begins to speak"captain tazuma koshi, my,captain wishes your presence at a meeting in the first divisions meeting hall. It is to discuss matter of the captured captains." He then shunpo's away.

The fact the messenger brought up the captured captains angered me further So zoran wishs to,speak now huh. I do,owe him a great,deal so,i'll show up. but before I was to go I had one thing to handle. Focusing reiatsu into my fist I rush the slab and strike it several time. Breaking it fully

As the slab fell I would turn around and reach into my bag. Pulling out white cotton bandages,i begin to wrap my bloody,hands. It only takes a few moments to do so. Now with bandaged hands I pull up the hood of my hoari and start walking towards soul society. The true,was after amaya had been captured alot has changed with me. I was quicker to anger and faster to,take more and more dangerious missions. I trained endlessly usually ending in an injury for myself.

Deciding to get on with,this Meeting I shunpo to the meeting hall of the first division. Not taking but a few steps I arrive at the door. Opening them I see zoran,kieran, and nao. Walking in to the meeting I,walk to my seat and sit down. Nodding to everyone as I sit and my eyes meet theirs.So what,is tgis meeting about? I have training to,get to. Isn't that right Nao....i'm sorry Captain Nao? Nao,should know I wasn't angry at,him

While i wait on the 9th captain reply minoru comes in and nods to me i nod back then he says that since he filling in for amaya would it be fine if he joined the meeting. I say in a friendly way. "to me it fine you are on your way to become a captain your self hell you even got bankai he i remember right. So in my books that puts you at captain class even if you dont have the title and grants you the right to be here." then a bit after that tazuma comes in and i dont like the way he change since amaya been taken he become darker, quicker to temper and he dangerly driven to train to his breaking point and beyond. I worry that he may take a path that there no return from. Due the fact my reiatsu is still not completely under control and with this surge in emotions more lightning appears on me and it dances faster then before. Then i hear raikou doragon speaks to me. dragonling you are right to worry and you maybe one of the few people who can bring him back from the brink. But remember you have to tread carefully when you do. I feel and hear his zan spirit the singer crying out to him and for help. then the other one that shares his power with me that i came to know as dark rai says. so what if he loses it so long as he not dead and can fight there no need to worry.... What was that for?!? the last part was said after i mentally slapped him over the head then i think. there are worse things then death much worse. then saying out loud. "sorry was something said i had things on my mind sorry."

Hollis walks through the garaganta but as he goes through the dimensional rifts he ends up getting himself lost (as usual) and winds up in the dangai precipice world. He hobbles around a bit looking to see if that blasted train monster is around but from what he can tell it isn't. He hobbles a bit more and decides to sit down.


"oh darn, it would seem i've gotten myself lost again. oh well, i guess i can use this time to heal or something, won't be able to get far in here with one leg anyway.."


Hollis then plops himself down onto the ground and begins to think.


"thank you kubo for this wonderful plot device!! now..what healing spells do i know..............damn, i guess theres only one. but it only heals paper cuts..why in the crap did i even learn that. and why in the hell am i talking out loud to myself? im not crazy"


Hollis then extends his pointy finger and a green light glows from it. he then places it on the severed portion of his leg and and begins to heal....very...very..slowly.



"Well, this is going to be a blast. pssssh, what to do now. i know! i'll play one billion bottles of cyanide on the wall! here we go!!!! one billion bottles of cyanide on the wall, one hundred bottles of cyanide, ya take one down , pass it around, one million nine hundred ninety nine thousand bottles of cyanide on the wall! oooooooooooooh!...."


Hollis continues to sing his song until he reaches about five thousand. His leg has been healed about down to his ankles and his pencil thin mustache seems to have grown into a light goa-tee. He also has five o clock shadow and his hair has grown a small bit, it seems like he's been sitting there for about a week or so.



"four thousand nine hundred ninety nine bottles of cyanide on the wall, four thousand nine hundred ninety nine bottles of cyanide! ya take one dow......"



Suddenly, the sound of a train can be heard in the near distance.



"is that a train? hm..i don't remember there being a subway in here. oooh , i love the chicken teryaki sub best.....oh dag nabit its the koutotsu-ono-blahblah thing,but i thought aizen destroyed it? time to run!"


Hollis then gets up and starts to run but immediately falls back down to the ground because his healed leg still has a stump for a foot.



" Hot dammit, i forgot the foot! Always with the blasted foot! DAMN YOU FOOT!!"


Hollis gets back up and start to hobble forward as the train gets ever closer. With it comming in fast, hollis focuses fora second and awkwardly shunpos severel feet ahead, using his working foot. As the train nears, he unsheathes his zanpakto and shunpos one last time, several dozen yards ahead. He stabs it into the air and turns it. A bright light slowly begins to reveal itself. but the train still comes ever closer.


"come on"


The train nears as a japanese style door slowly slides open


"come oooooon"


The doors slide slowly as the train gets even closer


"come ooooooooooooooooooon!!!"




The train gets dangerously close




"i wonder what's on tbs right now.."


The train gets so close that if it gets even a few yards closer, one hundred years would begin to drain from hollis's life.



"AND GO!"

Guess Who's Back...Back Again

Hollis leaps through the gate and it immediately shuts behind him . He suddenly finds himself falling from the sky


"gaaaaaah, im back da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!!!"


soon he lands hard onto the ground, right outside of the first squad barracks. Talking can be heard and several high level rieatsu can be felt. It would seem that after being chased by the koutotsu, time shifted throwing hollis into a point in time right in the middle of the captains meeting, how convenient.



"....ouch...my face..."


Hollis then gets up and tears a piece of his captains haori off to wrap it around his ankle stump. He continues to hobble into the meeting room before tripping once more and standing back up, regaining balance.




"whew, so what i miss??"

((Edwards,
I'm going to ignore the metagaming since your post was obviously
intended to be comedic but please don't do it again. None of our
characters are aware of Kubo Tite lol))

The position of 12th
Division Taichou filled however its captain had not been seen in 20
years. It is known that he was still alive as food and supplies were
routinely brought to his private lab however he secluded himself inside
for two decades refusing to come out even during emergencies and
mandatory meetings. Rumors started to spread that he had gone mad, or at
least more insane than his usual state. The vice captain was capable of
handling the division however talk of a replacement captain had even
begun.

As the messenger from the 9th division arrived he would
find that nothing had changed from the past 20 years. The doors to
Tsubasa's lab were locked, the only way in or out being a chute through
which supplies and food were sent. Despite the messengers protests the
12th division staff maintained that they could not help him as none of
them had the access codes to the Taichou's personal lab.

Just as
the messenger was about to give up on the lost cause the doors to the
lab shifted and the sound of mechanical locks being undone echoed
throughout the hallway. The SRDI members nearby went silent as all eyes
were drawn towards the door. Slowly it began to open and Tsubasa
Milliardo stepped out slowly emerging from the darkness of his lab and
into the light of the hallway to reveal little had changed about his
appearance when he entered the lab 20 years ago aside from a new set of
glasses.

The Captain would look around slowly as if in a daze and
took in the faces of his squad members. Even though they were silent
and filled with shock he could tell almost all of them had improved
themselves over the past 20 years. "Ahh, looks like everything's been
upgraded. That's good to see!" He said as a smile took over his
expression. The lab doors then began to close behind Tsubasa as he
walked off ignoring the presence of the messenger acting as though it
were just another day at the lab. He knew his men had questions for him
but they would have to wait. For now he needed something.

"Milliardo-Taichou,
your presence is requested at the 1st division meeting hall by my
captain Zoran Zovavitch!" The messenger stated so as not to be ignored.
"Hm?" The silver haired man turned to look at the messenger, "Ah a
messaging device. Haven't seen one of those in a while. Very will, this
thing will go to the meeting. But first it needs its hat." He said
before turning and heading off to the barracks where Tsubasa left his
hat before secluding himself in his personal lab.

Upon retrieving
the ever so important accessory Tsubasa made his way to the meeting but
not with shunpo. He causally took his time and walked the distance
causing him to arrive later than the other captains. Opening the doors
to the meeting hall Tsubasa already had a gentle smile on his face with a
half awake look to his eyes as he slowly stepped inside. He rather
enjoyed his walk after being cooped up in the lab for so long.

The
captain made his way inside without saying a word and took his seat
before finally looking up and scanning the group of men whom had
gathered so far. Tsubasa had been locked away for 20 years and his
memory was hazy from dealing with the Zero System. He found himself in a
room full of strangers. Even if some knew him he did not recognize
anyone at this point. To this Tsubasa simply smiled a bit wider before
speaking, "Well now there are quite a few new things around these days
aren't there...but...there seems to be a few missing no?" He looked
around the room completely unaware of what has happened to the other
captains, "It appears that there is much this thing needs to analyze
before being capable of understanding the situation." He said referring
to himself hoping someone would clue him in.

"Yo." Waving passively as he entered the room, Akihiko casually shuffled along until he made it to a central table. Taking his seat, making sure that he had a clear view of everyone in the room, the young captain smiled pleasantly at his fellow taichou. "Sorry I'm late. See, I got lost on the road to life. I came across a fork in the woods. One path had a sign directing me to Success. The other had a sign directing me to Happiness. It was quite the debate. I think some of my hair is starting to turn grey." Chuckling slightly at his little joke, A. Hideo's green eyes sparkled with bemusement.

Tracking the trail of blood that formed a linear path to Senshu, he smirked. "Have a little misshap, bud?" Winking at the wounds, he couldn't wait for the captain of the fifth division to divulge the details of his danse macabre. Raising his eyebrow inquisitively, he suddenly held up his hand. "Wait. Save the story for later. I'd rather not have this meeting interrupted any longer." Turning to face Zoran, he flipped the blue hair out of his eyes.

"So why are we here, Zoran?" Of course, he had an assumption. But an assumption was only that, an educated guess, and he was afraid of being made into an ass. Besides, the faster the meeting took place, the quicker he could get back to having some fun. That was what Akihiko was all about. Unfortunately, he was a tad hypocritical, as most men were. Noticing the 12^th Division Captain was present, his eyes widened.

"Tsubasa? I haven't seen you in 20 years. Have you been in your lab for that long?" Excited to see someone from his past, Akihiko proudly displayed his new Captain's badge. "Life has changed on the outside world. Hell, even I'm a captain now! Can you believe that?" Leaning against his seat, the cold weight of Katta on his back reminded him that he was on duty. Sighing, he turned again to face Zoran.

"Sorry. What were you saying?"

Zoran Zazaravitch continued to rest in his chair, his palm rested against his face as he pondered how he was going to hold this event. Being only recently made in to a Captain, he hadn’t even attended one of these things before. Yet here he was hosting one in absence of the Captain Commander. Lifting himself back to a more up-right position as the others slowly made their way in, a few surprising details caught his eye. The first being the replacement of the Squad two taicho for the time. He didn’t exactly know if that was regulation or not, having a lieutenant take the role of a missing Captain in these meetings, but he wasn’t one to object. The next notable detail was the return of Hollis, captain of squad five. It seems he had made his way back, which was good. However, Amaya was still in captured in Hueco Mundo, and several of the Soul Society’s own had betrayed to join the new enemy. He inhaled deeply, giving a few more minutes for any to show up. For that short time, he remained silent, thinking out how this was going to be done. It was then that he decided the first step here would be to reevaluate all that had occurred over the past year. Followed by a window for Hollis to speak about their brief time in Hueco Mundo, and finishing off with the creation of a plan and suggestion.

Zoran Zazaravitch parted his lips, beginning to speak in a rather loud tone of voice, indicating that he was not addressing a single individual, but the entire group of Captains and captain-substitutes gathered. “Hello, fellow Captains of the Gotei Thirteen Quart Guard Squads. As you probably already know, I am the more-recent taicho of squad nine, Zoran Zazaravitch. I wish our meeting wasn’t under such unfortunate circumstances, but we can’t exactly choose these conditions. Seeing as we lack any form of leader or Captain Commander right now, I saw that someone needed to start a meeting, so I decided to give it a shot. “ He paused for a moment, allowing the small amount of information to be taken in by the others present. He continued shortly after with the reevaluation of the current scenario. “ Recently, we have had many issues come up with in and out of the Soul Society. Not only have several of our own betrayed to join the now-reforming Espada, but some of our own have been forcefully captured as well. One of the most recent captures is the captain of squad two, Amaya. Hollis had also been reported as such, however, it seems he made it back. “ Turning his head toward the returning captain of squad five, Zoran Zazaravitch spoke toward him directly for a brief moment. “ It would be beneficial if you told us what you learned during your time in the world of hollows after this opening evaluation is over.” Returning back to his louder indirect voice to speak with the other taichos, he continued on. “I also have noticed some activity with the newly-emerging Demons. They don’t seem to be in that great of number yet, but there may be more to come in the future.”

Zoran Zazaravitch took in another breath, just winging this to the best of his ability. “Through close observation of the brief invasion scene with the Espada…I couldn’t help but notice trace amounts of the Demon’s spiritual energy..What this means is that the Demons are working in unison with the Espada. That puts us in a difficult situation. Not only is the Soul Society weakened from these betrayals and captures of some of our higher-ranking individuals, but now we have to deal with not just a new generation of Espada, but a horde of Demons. Not exactly a good place to be in. The Espada may even have more allies now that have been enemies with our kind from the past. Though there is no proof of such so far, it is still quite possible. If they have joined with the Demons, it shows they are willing to accept help in making sure we are all killed and that the Seireitei burns to the ground…Now, as for a plan of action. Aside the obvious of being on your guard, being ready for war to break out at any moment, and training your squad to be ready, I have devised two separate plans to begin with. First of all is a simple task. I believe it would be beneficial if we requested the help from the primary Vizard organization. I know how we can contact them and they could be great help here. They do not side with the Espada, and I am almost certain they would comply with the request if agreed by the Soul Society. And if I’m correct, they should be nearing here soon…May even show up to this meeting half-way in. “ Zoran Zazaravitch closed his eyes for a moment, using his spiritual sensory technique to activate a long-range third eye of sorts. The spiritual energies of every one near became clear to him, but there would be no indications of him seeing such things. To any outside observer, he just had his eyes closed. Opening them back up, he continued with the second part of his plan. “My second plan may seem a bit risky, but is essential. We need to get Amaya back from Hueco Mundo. We cannot leave our own captured there. I will be sending a small group there to bring her back. Though be warned, the Espada likely are expecting you to come and may have a trap set, so be careful. I will leave the team up for suggestion on who will be part of it. The remainder who stay here will aid in building up defenses and setting up for the next time an attack occurs like the one that had taken place a short time ago. I believe the captain of Research and Development should be in charge of setting up the defensive front. If it is agreed upon, I will be arranging the agreement between the Soul Society and the Vizards. Though I hate to admit it, I feel we will not be able to win this war without a bit of help from them. Not only just because we have no Captain Commander, but our numbers have dwindled highly.”

Zoran Zazaravitch paused once again, deciding upon how he was going to wrap up the initial topic. “You will all be free to comment and request changes to the plan of retaliation if you want. However, I think it would be best if Hollis were to speak first. Just coming back from Hueco Mundo himself, he may have obtained useful information we can use to influence our choices. “

At the sound of amaya's name my entire body tenses as zoran speaks my eyes move through out the room observing everyone. He speaks of the demons helping the espada and how we should allign with the vizards of human world. I remember the last,time I saw them all just as I got my mask and the training masa and I did to master it. As zoran spoke of the plans he had I shift in my chair as I had already planned to go rescue amaya myself. He then opened the floor. I clear my throat
I was there the day captain amaya was captured indeed demons were siding with the espada. I did battle with one personally. Also a vizard who was sided with us switched sides and joined the espada. I agree with you that we must join forces with he vizards of the human world and we must rescue our own. That being said. I captain of the tenth division,Tazuma Koshi would like to lead the rescue mission.
