"I-it can't get any worse than this...." Said a strange-looking shinigami with a brown afro as he picks himself out of an out-of-place crater in the center of what is normally a chaotic roadway. Above him, attacking both the ground level and the skyline of the city are a large number of hollows, which seem to be indiscriminately killing humans and eating their pluses. Yet, this particular Shinigami is the only one that was assigned to protect the city so far. "Ugh... just gotta stay alive until my SOS reaches Soul Society..." He said with a grimace as he clutches his right arm, which was rendered useless by an attack earlier by a strange hooded figure.
This attack was as sudden as it was fierce, the shinigami, named Akizuki Mao is the guardian of the Karakura sector, a fairly generic man who only stands out because of his carefully maintained afro hairstyle. Upon noticing a sudden spike in spiritual pressure somewhere in the city, he performed his duties and arrived on the scene immediately, only to come across the horrific sight of his beloved city being torn to pieces by hollows. Yet, when he drew his sword and prepared for battle a strange hooded man with a large executioner's axe sort of weapon appeared before him, and swatted him straight into the ground, creating a sizable crater. While he was laying there, he managed to send out a Hell Butterfly in the hopes that one of the squads would get his warning and send out reinforcements. Other than that, he could only hope that one of the more friendly Vizards, or perhaps some powerful humans were around.... because this attack was much out of his scope.
With fear in his heart, but a sense of duty driving him onward, the man known as Akizuki Mao draws his sword one final time to fight the invaders, hopefully being able to defeat at least a few of the weaker ones to buy as much time as he can. For if he fails, Karakura could be destroyed in a second. Especially by the more powerful gigantic being that towers above all the skyscrapers in the area, firing lasers and generally being far too destructive to allow to live.

"Well then! This certainly isn't a pretty sight." said Shimaka, walking casually through the streets towards the chaos, his zanpakuto clipped to the back of his waist.
He stops to look across at the Shinigami with the Afro. He narrows his eyes, "The fool, he deserves to die if he is going to be so careless." he says with a huff, hearing the ground thud behind him he turns around to see an Ayon stomping towards him. He smiles, "Hello ugly." he comments as he reaches back, taking a firm grip of the handle and drawing it slowly, savoring the screeching noise that came from the sword and sheath scraping together as he drew it. Once it was drawn completely, he held it in front of him, the blade facing below as he holds it in his average backhanded style. "Well then, shall we begin my large ugly friend?" he asks the Ayon as it roars in rage and barrels down towards him. Shimaka grins,
"I guess thats a yes."

Jachimaru had been sitting quietly inside the Vizard base, on the computer, but was interrupted by a huge spike in spiritual pressure. Being the only one in the vicinity at the time, he immediately ran out of the house to see what was happening. When he got outside, he noticed the giant hollow along with multiple other hollows around it, attacking the town. "What the?" the man simply said quietly, a scared look on his face. He quickly looked around to see if anyone else had come to fight the hollows, but upon seeing no one, he sighed. "Looks like I'm gonna have to push them back." he thought to himself as he began to draw his zanpakutou, before noticing a Shinigami attacking a hollow in the distance. As soon as he noticed the Shinigami, he stopped his hands.
"...As much as I'd like to see you die right there, Shinigami, there'd be no point if Karakura Town ends up destroyed because of it..." the man thought, sighing.
"That's rather honorable of you, Tetsuya." a voice laughed from inside his head.
"Honorable? I just don't want these things to destroy the town. And how can I keep the facade of a good guy if I just sit around and do nothing?" the man responded in his thoughts as he began running towards the Hollows. When he arrived, he was greeted by a rather large group of Demi-Hollows. "G-Get away from me you monsters!" he yelled out as he shakily held his zanpakutou in front of the beasts, giving off a convincing look of fright as they approached him. However, the moment the hollows would try to attack, he would smirk before releasing his Shikai and sending thin, sharp threads of aura through the masks of all of the hollows.

Enjiiro sent his fist through the wall of the training building in a fit of rage. His fellow sqaud members wore looks of shock and concern upon their faces. Training for the day, as usual, fell short of Enjiiro's impossibly high expectations; and, as such, he was not to happy about it.
"Guys. what the hell?" Enjiiro asked in a mocking yet furious tone. He looked around the room surveying the people standing before him. A couple of the guys opened their mouths as if to say something, but in the end remained quiet, making them look as though they were fish out of water.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the awkward silence was broken by a hell butterfly. The message stated that there was a dire emergency in the world of the living, Kakakura Town, to be specific. Enjiiro gave one final look around the room, and upon seeing the exhausted faces of his subordinates, told them to turn in for the day. A sigh of relief swept through the room. Enjiiro did his best to ignore it, and instead turned his full attention toward the message that was just relayed by the hell butterfly. Enjiiro immediantly set out for the world of the living, not wasting any time on preparations, seeing as how he had just completed a training session.
When he arrived in Karakura Town he immediantly sensed what felt like an entire army of opposing spiritual pressures. A wave of joy came over him as he released back into Shikai (having been in Suppressed state due to the horrible effort given by his Sqaud members). His weapon sheathed, Enjiiro gave a mighty battlecry to let his potential enemies know of his presence, and set out toward the location of the soon-to-be massacred enemies.

A small senkaimon opened in the sky, as what looked like a young, purple-haired man stepped out of it. As it closed, it turned into a small cube, which the man put into his pocket. The man, aside from his zanpakutou, was carrying two other wakizashi-sized swords, a bow, a quiver of mechanical arrows and box full of other goodies. "Tch. Trying to keep me locked up in the Seireitei while figuring out what to do with me? Don't they know anything? Shoulda locked up my lab before they tried to lock me up." the man said with a smirk, before looking to the scene in front of him.
"Oh my. It seemed the Seireitei was in a panic about something... I'm surprised they didn't... never mind." the man said to himself, the battle cry of a nearby Shinigami cutting off his thoughts. "A captain? Well, this is going to be interesting." he said to himself before noticing the other two combatants.
"Might as well get started myself. Time for some research." the man said with a smile as he took out an arrow, inserting some of his own reiatsu in it before drawing his bow and aiming at one of the Grand Fishers and releasing it. "Hope my marksmanship hasn't gotten worse after being frozen for hundreds of years." the man thought with a small laugh as the arrow sped through the sky. When the arrow would come in contact with anything, the arrow would freeze a foot-wide sphere around it, forming spikes of ice on the surface of whatever it hit.

"Alright, I didn't miss the party." A smiling auburn haired woman wearing a winter jacket said as she appeared in the area. From what she can observe, a large number of hollows have begun attacking the city, prompting the man who was supposed to defend the town to arrive, get defeated quite soundly and send out some help alerts. The rest of the people here? Shinigami and a Vizard, all people whom Shizuka doesn't recognize. One of the shinigami, a tad braver than the others immediately jumps into the fray, brandishing his blade at one of the Ayon types that ran straight for him. "Gee, hope that guy can take care of that. Those fellows are WOAH!" About to make a snarky remark, Shizuka was unceremoniously cut off when an immense beam of energy is fired out of the mouth of the horrific skyscraper sized abomination in the area. This beam was massive, so massive and obviously powerful that Shizuka didn't even want to risk attempting to block it with Danku, so she immediately flash stepped out of the way, appearing into sight again atop one of the smaller buildings in the area. "Well that was a bummer, let's see what we've got here." She said with a smile as she peered out over into the combat zone.
It seemed the Vizard himself was doing alright, from her position she notices that he was unleashing some sort of power from his Zanpakuto, which pretty handled the group of Demi-Hollow he encountered without much of a problem. That's when a rather intense reverbreting boom is heard, along with a huge spike of spiritual pressure. Is that a captain? She thought as a fearsome battlecry emits from whomever just arrived, cementing the fact that this captain must be none other than Enjiiro Senboukun, a man who was virtually a legend in Soul Society since he first took up the position in the first place. Right after that, a senkaimon gate opens in the sky, where a man with purple hair steps out and presents himself before the combatants. This man was also obviously captain rank, but he personally doesn't seem to be wearing any kind of emblems.
Curious about this man, Shizuka spends a little bit more time observing him from her relatively safe perch, watching him pull out a number of weapons befoer apparently complaining to himself and then pulling an arrow out of his quiver and firing it into one of the Grand Fisher types. Said arrow immediately pierces into the Hollow's skin and freezes it, as well as everything within a foot of said hollow into a solid sphere of ice. Not only that, but the sphere soon explodes into hundreds of pieces of shrapnel, which launch themselves all around, dealing damage to everything that was around the now-dead Grand Fisher. "Oooh! I like that guy!" The scientist stated while clapping her hands heartily. "And now I gotta deal with.... whatever's behind me...." She said with a smile while turning around to see an Ayon standing right behind her.
"Better sell some tickets, guy. I'm gonna make a spectacle outta kickin' your can across the city."

".... They have arrived." The voice of a hooded man says in a projected voice that EVERYBODY hear. "Soon, you fools shall meet your doom." The man said in the same projected voice as a sheath of black flames appears in the very center of the area. "Which of you wishes to meet their doom first, would-be heroes?" He stated would pointing waving his hand horizontally, prompting the humungous skyscraper-sized hollow to release yet another beam of energy, this time waving it across the area in it's single-minded attempt to blow up everybody in the area.
Nearby Shimaka, the Ayon that charges the experienced Shinigami immediately disappears from sight, appearing behind the man before firing an extremely quick bala and disappearing again, this time appearing directly in front of the man and taking a swipe at him with an exceedingly powerful claw strike. As for Jachimaru, the Demi-Hollow he attacks are immediately destroyed, just as a Grand Fisher arrives behind him and attempts to grab him with a shadowy tentacle. The assault does not stop however, as a pair of Numb Chandeliers immediately rush toward him to fire upon him with acidic saliva.
On Enjiiro's end, his battlecry worked most excellently, which indeed prompted the majority of the remaining hollows to immediately home in on his position, a quintet of Numb Chandeliers heading the charge. Almost as if they were trying to bait him harder, one of the Demi-Hollow, who had successfully dispatched Akizuki Mao tosses the unconscious form of the 11th Squad 3rd seat into the captain, probably out of some primal desire to insult their foe before engaging in battle. Jin-Ho on the other hand remains largely unnoticed, despite the effectiveness of his previous attack. Shizuka on the other hand now has to contest an Ayon, which wordlessly begins to charge an immense ball of energy in his mouth.

Shimaka frowned as the Ayon began to disappear, but smirked at the sound of its particles being reformed behind him. Sensing the quick compressed spiritual pressure, he spins around and slashes downwards, cutting the Bala into two seperate pieces as both halves fly on either side of him, crashing into the surrounding wreckage.
As the Ayon disappeared again he knew it was only a matter of time before the Ayon simply crushed the area he was in into the ground. "How insulting, to think that would work." he said, crouching down and leaping backwards into a tall backflip as the claws tore through the air where he was only seconds ago.
"Guess i'm going to have to break out my large Kido first." he says, readying his hands mid air, "Hado 88: Hiryugekizokushintenraiho!" He shouted, blue particles of spiritual pressure gathering on his hand before being blasted into a large ray of energy directly towards the Ayon's back.

As the young man destroyed the Demi-Hollows with ease, the aura reformed around his sword in a thick cloud. He heard the voice calling out, but ignored the prodding, focusing on the Numb Chandeliers heading his way and the Grand Fisher behind him. The man jumped back into the Grand Fisher's tentacle to dodge the other two Hollows, smirking when he got caught, keeping his zanpakutou close to his body. "Oh dear. It looks like I'm going to die." he said in a monotone voice, before he grinned and poured a large amount of reiatsu into the aura around his sword. It immediately formed ten large spikes, all of which stabbed into the Grand Fisher's mask, then quickly formed into a pair of clawed hands, ripping the hollow in half.
Before the Grand Fisher could disappear, the young man slammed the two halves of the hollow into the Numb Chandeliers to rattle them for a moment. "I've already used quite a lot of reiatsu on my Shikai... it'd be a shame to make it go to waste..." the man said, holding the sword in front of him. As he spoke, the aura formed a large webbing between himself and his two opponents. The webbing, moving like thin strand of smoke, suddenly condensed into a solid, dark-purple wiring, with blade-like edges facing the hollows. "Now, let's fight. Don't disappoint me." he said with a smirk. If the Numb Chandeliers would give into the taunt and attack, the bladed web would collapse onto the Hollows like a bear trap. If they decided to fall back or stay, the aura would turn back to smoke for a moment before turning into multiple spiked strands and give chase to the hollows like when he fought the Demi-Hollows.

Enjiiro was like a child in a candy store. There were So many enemies to chop up, he didn't even know where to start. When he saw his, now former, 3rd seat flying towards him (he decided he would demote him to office work as soon as the battle was over seeing as how he couldn't even avoid near death every time a couple of hollows decided to show their ugly faces.) he broke his fall by catching him and then tossed him to the side into a tree in order to somewhat spare him any further harm. Enjiiro didn't notice if he made it into the tree however, as he kept his eyes on his rapidly approaching enemies the whole time.
"So you wanna' play dirty, eh?" Roared Enjiiro. He unsheathed his blade and brought the weapon slashing down and to the left sending a massive wave of reiatsu toward the group of Demi-Hollows. This resulted in about 20-25 Demi-Hollows being ripped apart by the massive amount of energy that was forced through their ranks. Enjiiro then used Shunpo to make his way behind the 5 Numb Chadelier and use the exact same tactic to try and dispose of them in minimal time. This resulted in a rather reckless release of energy, which barely clipped one of the 5 hollows, sending it and it's comrades into an even further fit of rage. The energy used in the attack shot out into the sky and vanished from sight.
Enjiiro quickly recovered from his brief moment of loss of control and sheathed his blade in time to meet head on with the 5 hollow and begin dispatching them using his favorite form of combat, Krav Maga. He met the first with a drop kick to the skull, shattering it instantly. With four remaining he reached behind himself and grabbed two handfuls of what he hoped was tentacles and ripped forward causing the contents of his hands to rip apart from their owners' possesion. He then rammed his fists, with the tentacles and all, down the throats of two Numb Chandelier and out the back of their heads, killing them as well. The two remaining Chandelier, already injured, decided it would be best to jump in the way of a stray cero fired by one of the many other hollow in the heat of battle. Needless to say their death was also instant, and very dishonorable. After this was over, Enjiiro turned around and surveyed the battlefield, looking to see how the rest of the fights were going.

Kio crouched in his garden planting roses since all of his seemingly enough came up missing. Well over a hundred roses later he was fin fished, standing up he surveyed his garden with a sense of joy. It was finally perfect and sense the sky was clear he thought he would enjoy the day in his garden reading a book he had just bought not long before hand. The book was titled "The Edge of the knife". From the first few chapters it seemed like a good book, finally the book had gotten interesting. He read a couple pages but before he could read another word a huge spike in spiritual pressure alerted him.
Kio got to his feet and yawned sitting his book down in the same movement. He went to take off toward where the spiritual pressure came from, but remembered he had sat his zanpakutou somwhere, though forgot where. Frantically he looked for it and ten minutes later he found it under the bench where he was recently sitting. He grabbed it and put it around his waist before shunpoing to the spiritual pressure location. Once there he noticed a few people, but the rest he did not know. He unsheathed his zanpakutou as three demi hollow ran after him he sliced the skull of one open and before he could react got smacked, hit, clawed etc by the other two. Getting to his feet he smiled and spoke.
"Aww, come now friends how about a hug?" before releasing his zanpakutou into shikai.

"Oh? It looks like I've gone unnoticed. I suppose that just makes things easier on me. Who should I target next?" The scientist said with a smile as he took out a handful of arrows in one hand. "It looks like that other captain can handle those small fry. Same with that smoky-boy..." the man said, looking at the battle field from up high. "But... those two antler monsters look a bit dangerous. Perhaps I should help out with those? Or maybe those ugly Angler Fish guys should be knocked out first? I guess I shouldn't bother someone else's match... yet." he said as he put his reiatsu into the arrows he held, putting one in the bow and the others through his belt as he aimed at a group of Grand Fishers.
"And... Fire!" he said enthusiastically as he sent a volley of arrows as quickly as he could, aiming at the feet of the Grand Fishers, in hopes to cover the entire group in ice. If the plan was successful, the Shinigami would take a mine out of the box he carried with him and toss it onto the frozen mass of Hollows, causing the ice to blow up and send shards flying through the city. If not, he would continue to fire arrows until he ran out or killed his targets.

"Hey, no. I haven't even pulled out my sword yet, see?" The cheerful shopkeep complained while waving her umbrella around. It apparently didn't impress the Ayon much, who just goes ahead and fires his cero anyways, though luckily enough it was dodged by Shizuka. The unlucky part about this cero is that it was now on a crash course directly toward another shinigami. Said Shinigami being Kio Ouagin, who had just arrived on the scene. "Dodge that, guy!" The shopkeep shouted while pointing her umbrella at her foe.
"Man, you've been a bad boy. Let's discipline you a little." She said with a creepy smile on her face as her hat begins to cast a shadow over her eyes. The Ayon, again quite unimpressed with Shizuka at the moment simply barrels ahead in front of her and swipes at her umbrella, knocking it clean out of her hand and into the sky. "Rude!" Almost seamlessly the storekeep pointed two fingers at the Ayon, causing a series of light pillars to wrap around it's chest and hold it in place. Or so she'd like to have thought as the beast quickly breaks out of the pillars and swings a heavily muscular arm at the shopkeep, striking her square in the head and causing her to flail into the ground in an unceremonious heap.
Or so the Ayon would like to have thought, for Shizuka now stands directly behind it with her palm on it's back. "Why does everybody fall for the dummy Gigai trick? KUYO SHIBARI!" And with that, a series of black holes begin to appear all around the Ayon as Shizuka takes a leap backwards, the final one appearing directly in his chest soon after and holding him so tightly that he is unable to move at all. "I'm Shizuka Rindo, mister Ayon. Kido's my specialty!" She said while raising her hand into the sky...

One thing about Ayons that people tend to underestimate is that despite the huge creature's size, it's deceptively fast. By the time Shimaka had declared his intention to begin using large Kido, the Ayon had already begun to move. His large spell, the Hiryugekizokushintenraiho misses the beast entirely, though the spell itself is not wasted, for it collides straight into the humongous skyscraper sized monster shortly after missing the Ayon. Now, to focus back on the Ayon, it's now in Shimaka's face, with a heavily muscular arm bearing down on him from above extremely quickly.
As for Jachimaru, who was performing fairly well against his current opponents, already having dispatched a grand fisher and then tossing it into a pack of numb chandeliers before releasing his shikai's unique ability. Said ability creates webbing with blade-like edges that quite quickly trap his opponents. All but one of them, a numb chandelier that managed to evade the attack, and is now steadily wrapping it's long tentacled body around the Vizard.
Enjiiro too is able to manage his paltry (paltry can really only be said by him, as he's a captain fighting a large number of relatively weak enemies) amount of enemies, dispatching a large number of demi-hollows with nothing more than a rising of his immense spiritual pressure. When he moves to attack the numb chandeliers however, the same trick fails to work completely. Only one of which were actually affected, and that particular one collided with it's friends, quickly causing a large amount of anguish within their ranks. Not wasting any time with that at all, the 11th squad captain then immediately chases his foes, dispatching them one by one with a series of brutal hand-to-hand attacks before an immense beam of energy is fired from the skyscraper sized enemy, heading straight for Enjiiro!
When Kio arrives on the scene, he's immediately beset upon by three of the lingering Demi-Hollow that decided to not attack Enjiiro. Of course he splits one of them in half with an effortless slice of his blade, but the other two after that manage to upset him, attacking and clawing him on the sides while he was busy dealing with the other one. Of course, given his level of power these attacks didn't deal too much damage. Once his Shikai was released, he would hear a "Dodge that, guy!" from behind him, immediately followed by the red beam of energy known to the masses as a Cero.
The scientist Jin-ho revels in his triumph of being relatively unnoticed in this whole affair, using his tools to dispatch foes as he sees them to relatively great effect. But when he pulls a mine out of his pocket, he'd soon notice it flying away, and a muscular hooded man with a large executioner's axe standing in front of him. "Die." The man would state before disappearing, leaving behind nothing but an immense ray of light fired by the Suzunami, now heading straight for Jin-Ho.
Now for a second funny lesson about Ayons. They're freaking strong. When Shizuka thought she was in the clear after having used one of the most powerful binding Kido there was, it does successfully hold her foe for a period of time, but when he moves his arm over to his face and removes his mask, Shizuka is quickly overwhelmed by the incredible burst of power. The next thing the storekeep would know after this is that her chest has been impaled in several places by a long boney-clawed arm.

A young girl was biking around Karakura Town when she heard a series of loud blasts and sounds of all types coming from several blocks away. "Oh boy... sounds like a regular brawl over there. I hope no one's too hurt..." The girl pedaled off to the source of the fighting.
She peered from a corner and saw a number of what she perceived as "evil spirits" fighting a shopkeep she recognized from before, one of the warehouse guys from the edge of town, and several other people she had never seen before. "Wow! These guys are amazing!" she gasped as she watched in awe of the amazing abilities each person possessed. The shopkeep and the man who looked as mean as his fighting style take on the "spirits" that resembled huge huntsmen... The warehouse dude and obviously battle happy man showing the weaker foes who not to mess with... A flurry of ice here and a taunting phrase there, everyone seemed to be doing so well until that voice echoed through the area and the battle shifted.
"Oh man. This isn't good... maybe they need some help. A bit of good karma is always nice~ I wish I could help them all but some of these enemies are too powerful. But they need help! Here goes..." The girl hid her bike behind an alley and sprinted to the nearest person in trouble. "Moesakaru! Hikyuutai!" A flame orb surrounded her and the shopkeep known as Shizuka. Even though some damage was already done, the residual flames from the shield kept the arm of the "large huntsman" at bay. "Ryu nigirikobushi!" The girl then sent a shot to the foe that the man she believed to work at the warehouses & watched it disappear. "Are you two ok? I thought you could use some help over here with that thing and Big Ugly." The girl once again looked at the "large huntsman" who was ready to make another attack. The others would have to continue fighting solo until someone was done with their own target...
