Monochrome Revolution

[Kusubanasan]

Life in Hueco Mundo hasn't been the same since the original Espada were removed from the timeless castle. Since then, under the leadership of a powerful Arrancar, the order in the castle has been re-established under the rule of a new breed of Espada. Since then, the Espada have created a somewhat comfortable experience within the walls of the once-thriving castle. Though, some of the Espada believe that these dank and colorless walls are a prison, and the only hope of escape, is to find refuge in the Living World.

Unfortunately for the hollow that live here, the Living World is protected by Shinigami, who loathe the very existence of the Arrancar. Any and all previous attempts at diplomacy have failed, so for the first time in hundreds of years, all of the Espada are to meet in order to discuss the ambitious plan the Cero Espada has in store. One such Espada, Furiko Kusubana and her Fraccion Kaneko, make their way to the Meeting Hall and find themselves to be the first people to arrive.

It's been ages since I've seen everybody in the same room at once, I really hope that we're all able to get along this time, I can never understand that Koga. The Trecera Espada laughs to herself before taking her seat. She turns to her Fraccion, and asks her about her opinion on the situation. So, what do you think? I know you haven't seen everyone in awhile either, but I guess you can't just hang around your big sister all the time, huh? Hehe.

The Espada places her hand on the long table, and suddenly a drink appears. She picks it up and takes a sip of the pink liquid while her Fraccion responds to her question. After the response, Furiko places her glass on the table and closes her eyes.

[kanekosan]

Kaneko is excited today as she walks into the meeting room alongside her older sister Furiko. She can't help but bound around the room while Furiko takes her seat. She listens to her sister speak a little while hopping around the room before cartwheeling behind Furiko's seat just as Furiko asks her a question.

No clue really~ she says in a sing-song voice. It's fun that we get to see everybody again, but is Boss-kun really gonna show up this time? Kaneko is a little excited, in her short tenure at Hueco Mundo she has yet to meet the Espada leader. She twirls her staff around in her fingers for a few seconds and then waves it above her head like a magician's rod, making a few noises while she waits for the other Arrancar to appear in the room. In the corner of her eye she notices Furiko taking a sip out of a glass that appeared out of nowhere, but she pays it no mind as her mind is entertained by waving her staff around. One day~ We'll get along with all the little humans and the halflings, and maybe even those blackrobes that like to cut us so much~! I don't like the blackrobes much at all, wish I could just~! She smashes her staff against the table, leaving a small crack in the side of the tables. Crush 'em flat! But Kaneko hears that Boss-Kun doesn't really mind the blackrobes much! Big Sister doesn't hate them either, I don't know how you guys can like people that stab ya if you say hello~!

She soon loses her train of thought, beginning to feel the spiritual pressure of all the other arrancar who reside in the castle. Knowing this means that the Espada and their Fraccion are about to arrive, Kaneko races back to her spot behind Furiko's chair and stands at attention, assuring herself that she was going to make a good impression on everyone who decides to arrive.

[Director]

From out of the shadows, the Cero Espada suddenly appears within the room, and calmly struts over to the table in order to take his seat. He taps the table once with his index finger, and a glass appears in front of him. "The blackrobes, huh? What a whimsical way of looking at things." He said with a calm, yet kind tone in his voice. "I suppose you two know why you're here, yes? I wonder where all the others are. I do believe I asked them to... be on time."

He then crosses his leg over the other in his seat, and turns to the door in order to see if someone else was coming. "Not that I don't enjoy your company, of course, but we are supposed to be holding a meeting today. Yes, we're here to discuss the plans to escape this place."

[Shinda Korosu]

Shinda layed on his bed in his quarters, looking up at the ceiling he was thinking silently to himself when the intercom spoke of a meeting. With a light sigh, Shinda stands up, walking just outside his room where Nigami is standing in the corner of the hall, leaning against the wall.

"Lets go Nigami, we got a meeting to go to." He says, turning around and walking down the hall, Nigami directly behind him. As he enters the room, he scratches the back of his neck, then waves to everybody. Once done, he walks over to his seat, and sits down as a bottle of Sake is on the table in front of his seat. At the sight of the Sake he smiles, picking it up and taking a drink of it he sets it back down, waiting for the meeting to begin.

[Nigami Suneku]

Nigami leaned against the edge of the hall, looking around at the design he waits patiently for something important to occur. When the intercom goes on, Nigami stands up straight, knowing Shinda would be leaving his quarters to go to the meeting soon.

As Shinda steps out, he bows in respect. Nigami nods to Shinda as he tells him to follow, and follows Shinda to the meeting room. Once at the meeting room, Nigami looks at the others in the room, bows to them, and takes his position directly behind Shinda.

[Director]

Ageha enters the room a short time after Nigami, and stands behind a chair next to the Cero Espada's that has the number one imprinted on the back. He doesn't particularly look in any direction, instead simply standing at attention while waiting for his master to arrive. Not long after that, Koga strolls into the room with a particularly bloodthirsty look on his face. He slowly looks about the room, sizing up the people who are there. Feeling unsatisfied, he simply shrugs and takes his seat.

"Weakness, weakness everywhere." The Primera Espada mutters to himself as he takes his seat. He places his elbow on the table and rests his head on his hand, waiting for the Cero Espada to speak, or for more arrancar to arrive. He aches for something to kill, as he has been feeling deprived for ages now.

[forzasan]

The door suddenly blasts open and into the room, gallantly strolls the legend: Tigre Forza. He ever so charismatically smiles and waves to the people within the room and takes a place standing by the eastern wall. Upon reaching the area, and taking his position he takes interest in several of the people within the room. First and foremost, the Primera Espada. Strike there! Primera Espada, he who is of the highest caliber in swordsmanship. You and I shall duel once more whenst this assembly disperses, and henceforth shall I defeat you and prove myself worthy of my position. After yelling a challenge toward the Primera Espada, Tigre changes his focus over to the Cuatro Espada.

You too, Korosu-Sama. After I defeat that lout, Koga, you're next! My swordsmanship will never play second-fiddle to anyone! He gazes over toward Nigami, a fellow that Forza had never honestly held a conversation with. To him, he simply nods his head and smiles. His gaze then falls upon the Trecera Espada, Furiko.

Ah, the lovely lady Kusubana, and.. His eyes drift over toward Kaneko, who is standing behind Furiko. And... attendant. Your skill with the pole-arm is great, however! I, Tigre Forza proclaim my skill to be superior! And after Shinda yields, I shall be coming after you next! Oh, but where are my manners. I do not mean to say I am superior in strength to any of the Espada, I simply mean to prove my swordsmanship to my betters. He takes a long and exaggerated graceful bow, and speaks once more.

That dreary lad, Muerte had told me that our glorious leader has a plan for us to defeat those louts in Soul Society. The very mention of Shinigami grinds my very gears good sirs and madams. Please, continue your meeting and pay no mind to me!

[Kusubanasan]

Furiko smiles and waves at the Cero Espada as he walks into the room, entertaining the things that Kaneko had just finished saying. Furiko watches him as he takes his seat and reminds her of what the meeting today is all about. Yes, I already sent the message to everybody else who lives here, I only got responses from a few people though...But it's okay! We can just tell them the gist of it later if they don't show up~! Shinda then walks into the room, quietly taking his seat as his Fraccion Nigami takes a stand behind him. Furiko smiles and waves at these two as a distasteful aura suddenly fills the room.

Looks like Koga's coming~! Sure enough, Koga strolls into the room with a bloodthirsty look on his face and takes a seat after muttering something to himself. From the look in his eyes, Furiko can tell that Koga really wants to kill something. The atmosphere is lightened suddenly, by the arrival of Tigre Forza. Furiko had always found his antics hilarious, but Forza isn't a joke by any means, his skill with his blade is quite real, and Forza is always eager to prove it. Something which he doesn't disappoint, as he walks into the room and challenges everybody who happens to be present including herself. Quite feisty today, eh Tigre? If you really want to tussle, I'll be glad to help you with your training after this meeting. Don't go getting yourself killed though~ Koga over there hasn't ever been the kind to hold back, you know? She says in a singsong voice as Forza apologizes and then announces his reason for being here. After he falls silent, she closes her eyes and hums to herself until the Cero Espada speaks.

[kanekosan]

Kaneko manages to keep her calm as everybody walks into the room, she was slightly afraid when Koga strolled into the room and his gaze passed toward her, but managed to stay quiet in the meantime. This serenity was broken when Forza burst into the room and began challenging everybody in the area. This sets Kaneko off, as she puffs up her cheeks and storms over to Forza's location. You think you're so cool! I'll show you! She twirls her staff expertly in one hand, and brings it down on Forza's head, creating a comical sound-effect when it connects with his skull, sending him down into the ground. Let that be a lesson to you, stupid!

After putting Forza in his place, Kaneko strolls back over to Furiko's position triumphantly and stands at attention once more, ignoring how the Espada's eyes are probably all on her at the moment. She hums to herself in order to keep herself from feeling too embarrassed, but deep inside she really enjoys playing with Tigre. I know~ I know~! It wasn't the time or place, but that just set me off~! I'll be a good girl from now on! Don't kill me bro! She snickers a bit after what she said, regains herself, and stands at attention.

[Director]

Koga glares through slit-like eyes as he views the scene before him. Who is this insolent fool who dared to mosey into the room and challenge him? Koga vaguely remembers this fool, but doesn't care about those who're weaker than he is. He scoffs when the Trecera Espada's Fraccion gets angry and sends Forza to the ground with her stick. Pah, I can't stand the sight of maggots devouring maggots. When is this meeting going to start? I don't care for this mindless drivel any longer! He turns his gaze over to the Cero Espada, glaring at him as a sign that he wants the meeting to start already.

The Cero Espada chuckles a small bit as he watches the comical scene between Kaneko and Tigre. But when Koga begins to glare at him, he waves his hand which symbolizes that everyone needs to be quiet. Oh my, yes. I do believe I might want to explain my plans as soon as possible so that you may all go prepare. The room seems to fall silent as the Cero Espada begins his speech.
I'm sure you're all getting a little tired of Hueco Mundo, and you certainly have been tired of all the Shinigami who attack us for who we are. The plan is quite simple to be honest. I'm sure you're all aware of the talents of our friend Muerte Elcazorro, yes? Well, he's been hiding in the human world for quite some time. When I give the symbol, he's going to use his unique abilities to cause enough havoc that those Shinigami should be dispatched to quell it. I want several of you to travel to the human world and fight off the captains while I prepare to open a gate to Soul Society itself. When the gate is open, the Espada will march into Soul Society while the shinigami are all out, and take the place for ourselves. When the shinigami eventually return, we will make our negotiations. Or whatever, if you encounter too many strong foes on the way, just run away! Better to live to fight later than to die because you got a little too worked up, you know? The Cero Espada stops speaking a little bit, and inhales. There are a few other little facets involved in this plan, but I'll take care of those while I handle the gate, okay? I do recommend watching out for the little halflings though, I hear they call themselves Vizard. They're all quite strong warriors. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed by them, don't be afraid to team up, or just run away.

[forzasan]

Tigre smiles as Furiko responds to his previous challenge, but didn't realize he had angered Kaneko. When she comes boiling over to his position and thwacks him with her stick, he ends up falling to the ground from the force of her blow. When he picks himself up, the Cero Espada begins to explain his plans. Tigre agrees with this plan and nods to himself in approval as the details are explained.

Absolutely wonderful, this is a plan I can get behind.

[vilmentevendados]

As the meeting between the Arrancar of Hueco Mundo transpired, unbeknownst to a some of the assembled party, the Segunda Espada floated in lightly. Truthfully, it was not the Segunda Espada himself, but instead, one of his tufts of bandages floated whimsically through the air and landed quietly on the nearby empty chair designated as '2'. The meeting proceeded normally, only the assembled Espada really taking note of the apparently insignificant spiritual pressure resting nearby them. It was then that the Cero Espada had announced the purpose of the meeting, and the grand scheme that would lead the Arrancar out of their prison of Hueco Mundo.

A fair distance away, in his quarters, Vilmente Vendados sat anxiously at his desk, communing with the spiritual energy-induced piece of cloth that he had sent to pay visit to the general assembly. He genuinely enjoyed scanning the facial expressions of his fellow Arrancars as the Cero Espada unveiled the plan, as well as comparing his mental notes of his companions to their reactions at the moment. Truly interested and riveted by the ensuing moments to pass, Vilmente calmed himself and inhaled.

The Segunda Espada picked himself up from his seated position at his desk and strolled over to his doorway, humming merrily as he walked down the hallway."The next few weeks will surely be interesting," he whispered to himself.

[Shachiho Koga]

Koga listened quietly to the Cero Espada's plans, when he noticed a string of cloth enter the room, knowing it to be from the Segunda Espada. He took hold of his zanpakutou with intent to slice through the bandage just for the feel of cutting through something. As he began to draw his sword, his fraccion grabbed hold of his arm to stop him, giving him a disapproving look. Koga responded with a grumbling sigh, before responding to the Cero Espada's plan. "I don't care about the details or any plans. Just tell me I'll be cutting through some Shinigami and I'll go. I can't stand to just sit around this pitiful place full of weaklings any longer." he said, gripping his sword tightly.

[Shinda Korosu]

Shinda yawns a bit as each Espada enters the room, shortly followed by their Fraccions. When the Cero Espada entered, he sits upstraight some more, his expression serious as he nods to Cero Espada, picking up his bottle of sake and taking a gulp, he sets it back down, glancing behind him at Nigami.

"Looks like we're about t' hear something important." He says as Nigami nods, watching the Cero Espada sit down. The Cero Espada begins to speak with Tigre, the highly stuck-up espada comes into the room, challenging nearly half the espada. When he arrives at Shinda, shinda sighs, looking over at him.

"Eh, why would i waste time doing that, Tigre? You gotta chill sometimes, you know." He says, scratching the back of his head.

[Kusubanasan]

Furiko giggles a small bit after watching Kaneko strike Tigre Forza in the head with her staff, causing him to fall to the ground in a bluster. When he picks himself up, the Cero Espada begins to explain his latest plan. Furiko quietly listens to the plan and agrees with several portions of it, such as disliking the colorless expanse that is Hueco Mundo. However, she does not like the violence that the plan likely entails. She cringes at the mere mention of Muerte Elcazorro, who has a reputation for killing in the most inhumane ways imaginable. She thinks to herself about several of the times she's witnessed Muerte killing people, and does not take kindly to it at all. (Muerte is a bit eccentric, but don't you think he'll probably go too far? If he kills to many people or shinigami.... we won't really be in a position to negotiate...)

Furiko listens to the rest of the plan, understanding why invading soul society is beneficial to their plans, but she also knows that if the shinigami are ever to accept Hollow, the Hollow shouldn't be trying to dominate where they live. Furiko expression turns melancholic very soon, feeling sadness as the plan is slightly hypocritical, in that in order to gain freedom, the Hollow are attempting to deny it of others. The shinigami are a special case in her mind however, as the Shinigami are generally xenophobic when it comes to Hollow, and indiscriminately murder whichever hollow they come across, even if the hollow has yet to commit any kinds of atrocities. Furiko understands that for their continued survival, the Hollow will have to do something about the Shinigami eventually, but Furiko had always hoped for a peaceful solution to everything.

I don't know about any particular plans, boss-kun, but I'll do everything I can to protect my friends here. But I have to be honest when I say that I don't really appreciate Muerte's.... methods. If we're too extreme, the negotiations aren't going to go well.. Furiko then remembers what was said about the small facets that the boss had mentioned, she stops speaking for a moment, giving it an amount of thought before standing out of her seat and leaving the room. Please call me when it's time to enact the plan, I need to sit and think about things for a small while...
