the tribunal's first act

[masorin]

Jace walked across the desert floor silent as he moved, the air around him was hot the sun was still high but nothing moved, it had been a peacefull walk, well as peacefull as it gets when you’re dealing with the open desert hollows had often been a problem in this area. But today things seemed quite. His eyes were a cold blue as he looked out from under his hood. The world had changed, and he had changed with it. the warmth of soul society and his lay about ways had been forgotten, now he watched the small hut with a critical eye.

Walking into the place he sneered there was dust everywhere, just because they lived underground didn’t mean someone couldn’t have cleaned that bloody place. He scoffed as he walked eyeing everything around him. the table had been moved since the last time he had been here. But as for sighns of recent use one maybe two at best. The tribunal was a new orginazation they didn’t even have proper sections yet. But what they did have, he placed his hand on a leaver pulling down on it, as the room started to move revealing a shiny elevator. ~resources, lots and lots of resorsorses~

Jace walked into the main hall of the tribunal the meeting area and took his seat, he was the first one here, but he doubted he would have to wait for long. his cold eyes watched the door as he sat back in his chair, his hood forever up, hiding his face.

Genji walked into the warehouse district on the outskirts of town, heading for warehouse 666. It was good to be home after his little misadventure with Adimus and the giant hollow worm. His sword in its sheathe and a huge fish slung over his shoulder he walked on. Music played in his headphones and dorwned out the world around him, after all, he didnt have to worry about hollow attacks inside the dome. He arrived at the warehouse, briefly looking it over. He sensed outward like he always did, checking to see if somebody was nearby for what was to come next. Coast was clear, but somebody was already here. Holding the fish tightly in his left hand, Genji moved his right hand over his left shoulder before quickly drawing a line horizontally in front of him and finishing with a snap.

As he finished his movement, the doors to the warehouse creaked open slightly, enough to let one person through. Dust clouded the air inside. He had really ment to clean this place up. Now he had company and stuff everywhere. Genji walked over to where the lever to the elevator, that he cleverly desgised as a sledehammer, and pulled it down, bringing up the elevator. The elevator was still shiny and clean, thank god for that much, it took him forever to clean that thing. Decending into the belly of the Tribunal HQ, he took out his headphones and put them away, along with his MP3 player. The doors sldie open in front of him and he proceeded down the hall to the kitchen first placing the fish in the freezer after cleaning it. He then proceeded to clean the fish smell off of himself and change before heading into the meeting room. Upon arriving in the meeting room, he noticed Jace was already there, hood up as always, and kicked back. Genji took his spot at the head of the table taking Mashin out of his belt and resting him on the table in front of him. "Nice to see you Jace, how was your walk here?"

[dizzyizzy]

“Thanks for the ride Ryo” she stated smiling at the man as she moved out of the truck, “Oh no worry I have a friend coming to get me in a few, I just wanted to grab something here before then, no need to worry” she chuckled closing the door and waving off the man. Aizou had placed her hand on the wall of the building as she took off a black heel to get a pebble out, "stupid pebble gonna end up making me fall and scrape myself" she muttered then shook her head as she looked at the warehouse door... She had met a nice guy at a bar prier and was grateful that she was able to get a lift from him ~Always nice to meet nice people~ she thought with a chuckle as she took a moment to fix her hair, and apply a bit of powder to her face placing the compact into her little black purse she was carrying. After doing that she opened the door to the base.

"Ew!" she squeaked as dust flew up getting on herself. "Bleh, men.. they don't clean at all!" she declared as she grabbed hold of the sledge hammer pulling it to summon the elevator. The vizard entered the elevator and let it take her down as she smoothed out the hem of her pale lilac dress. "This meeting better be important," she stated as the doors open and she emerged flipping her long hair over her shoulders, "cancelled a nail appointment..." She took her seat setting her purse on the table and taking a look at Genji, "good to see you, and you as well Jace" she added with an adorable smile as she crossed her legs resting her hand on her knee.

[masorin]

Jace nodded to the two newcomers and even gave a kind smile to Aizou. She was perhaps the one thing that he actually liked about this place. ~I mean damn those legs!~ he shook his head slightly needing to turn away, and address there leader. He gave a small shrug as he spoke “hello Aizou tell me how has you’re time away from the underground? any wierd adventures you would like to talk about, or perhaps a boy friend?”~oh god please tell me she doesn't have a boyfriend~

Markus ignored Genji for the moment he would start the meeting when he would start the meeting but for now it was his one chance to fraternize with Aizou. He gave her a quick smile and then looked around. “Ive been around karakura myself, taking samples of the spiritual pressure inside there dome, funny fact, its on the rise.” he shrugged it wasn’t news really, infact it was common knowledge so why was he was working on such a trivial matter?

[zakennayo78]

Genji watched as the third and final Vizard arrived at the table and seated herself. He nodded back and acknowledge her greeting and paused for a minute as Jace tried to flirt with her. Genji cleared his throat and leaned forward in his chair, ready to address the two. He pulled out a machine to record the meeting and set it on the table, switching it on. "Let this be known and recorded, that this is the first meeting of the Vizard tribunal. As we all know, the spirit pressure in this world, is on the rise. This was previous stated by Jace, and as we know, is common knowledge. On my outings with the humans, i have noticed that the hollows, are, as well, becoming incredibly strong. I can across one that was a giant worm like hollow, who attacked his opponents from underground and was big enough to easily swollow 3 men at one time.

Upon calling out my mask and slashing it with a released sword, it still only inflicted a medium sized wound. We should be on our gaurd upon any conflict with any hollows until we find out just how they are getting so strong. Next subject, it the Senkaimon. As you may or may not know, the main gate to and from soul society is shut tight, and we believe, for now, that the pirmera may be responsable. Attempts to reopen the gate along with Urahara, have been unsucsessful. And lastly, just to reinterate, keep an eye out for any shinigami, fighting with their inner hollows. If you see this on your journeys, you are to bring them to the tribunal immediantly for training. Now, i will open the floor for questions, concerns, or comments." As genji finished speaking, he reclined back in his chair and opened the floor up to the other two. "Oh, and one more thing, let the record state, that Aizou looks beautiful today, as always."

[dizzyizzy]

Aizou smiled at Jace kindly as he spoke to her casually, but she raised a brow about his choice in words. "Um no real adventures other then punching some lady out for this purse" she grinned her cheeks pinking up slightly, "and nah no boy toys at the moment" she winked uncrossing and re-crossing her legs. She flipped her lilac hair a bit over her shoulders letting it cascade down the back of the chair. "..." she listened to Jace's report about the spiritual pressure rising and it made since... after all this town was the starting zone for this Apocalypse.

Aizou’s eyes watched the recorder glancing between it and Genji as he spoke, being all technical and stuff… boring! Ooo Giant worm monster interesting! She listened more, but then the story was ruined by more technical babble. Hearing Urahara’s name caused Aizou to make a weird face for a moment. ~Bleh that guy’s such a weirdo… ~ She thought pushing her glasses up to help transition her face back to the cute smiling one. Aizou gave a slight nod to the statement of helping shinigami who were in the stage to become like them. She herself remembered how hard it was, and was actually willing to help.

The vizard woman let out a soft giggle her cheeks turning red as Genji made his comment. “Thank you Genji-kun” she chuckled as she relaxed a bit in her chair, “And I’d like to apologize that I have nothing to report...” she shrugged. Truth was Aizou had seen a few things here and there with the Hollows, but nothing truly note worthy.

[masorin]

Jace saw Aizou smile and that pretty much made his day. And hearing that she had no current boy friend he sat back in his chair pondering when and how to make his move. He heard Genji speak and only half paid attention to it. he was to busy focusing on how to get a date with Aizou, but his attention was snapped back when he heard Genji talk about a gaint hollow worm.

A released sword and mask, and it was only moderately wounded. Jace had never seen or heard of a creature like that before. He was shocked it was odd to even hear about that kind of creature. The news that hollows were only getting stronger with time was unsettleing but when he heard that name that was when he decided he would speak up. “Urahara hasn’t been able to figure this gate thing out for five years, and besides we have accsess to something that soul society doesn’t the gargantua if we wanted to we could travel between realms easily sure we would have to spend our time going threw the hucco mundo, but hollows open gargantua to soul society at least once every few months. It was common enough, and with our hollow powers, such a thing should be easy.”

Seriously if they were adamant about this hole gate thing there was more then one way to travel the senkaimon was down but hollows were still using the gargantua hell Urahara had even mentioned the possibility of such a thing. actually working. So why didn’t they take some time to learn that technique? Shinigami pride? They had forgon that as soon as they had donned there mask.

[zakennayo78]

Genji smiled as Aizou thanked him for his compliment on her beauty. He got serious again for a moment to dicuss with Jace the possibility to use the Gargantua to travel to soul society. "Yes, it is possible for us to learn that technique, however, for us to use it and bring back reinforcements would be quit difficult. We would be traveling through the Espadas territory. Even though everybody knows how vast and empty Hueco Mundo is, and the likley ood of being spotted would be roughly 25%, i dont think the Gotei 13 would go for it. As far as we know...they still hate our kind."

Genji leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment. He would have to atleast make not of the idea or using the gargantua to travel through Hueco Mundo. He would have to put a team togeather for that possible mission as escorts too and from. "Possability noted Jace. Now that brings us to a new topic. We would need a team for the job to work as escorts for convoys to and from Soul Society. These escorts would strictly be protecting the convoy allowing for the people in the convoy to maintain their full strength for when they reach earth to purge the hollows. So, i open the floor again to anybody who has names for the job."

[dizzyizzy]

Aizou glanced side ways at Jace as he spoke of gargantua. She shook her head slightly as she sighed listening to the men speak a bit, she wanted to say something, but was waiting her turn. Jace's idea made since but the issue with it was that the Shinigami hated them. She squeezed her knee to calm herself, in truth... She knew the shinigami would ride into earth to wipe out any trace of Hollow. Vizards included. ~We're a perversion of Shinigami... They'll want to kill us the moment they get a chance.~ She thought her lilac eyes narrowing behind her glasses.

Hearing about a chance to have a bit of fun and actually help the situation Aizou perked up slightly, "...Well Genji-kun I would like to be part of the team that goes... if that is alright" she asked politely. Aizou loved fighting like she loved shopping, and hoped she would be allowed to go. SHe was not comfortable helping Shinigami, but if it was to help save the earth she was willing to put the bitterness aside.

(my apologies for it being so short)

[masorin]

Hearing that Aizou was gonna sighn up for this mission what choice did Jace have. He almost immediately raised his hand. “Genji I would like to accompany Aizou on this mission. I had friends who were in high places back before I left, and if they are still anywhere near the position that they were when I left, we may have an invitation to soul society.” ~that is of course if they are even still alive.~

Jace thought briefly of the life he left behined as the leader of the academy, all the students he had trained all the paperwork he had avoided, it caused him a small nostalgic smile. he had to wonder what happened to those students he saved five years ago. The soul society probably had him as dead, but hay it would be nice to find out. “I will gladly throw my name into the lot for an excursion to soul society.”

[zakennayo78]

Genji leaned back in his chair and sighed. The idea of both of his generals going in to Hueco Mundo to retrieve reinforcements from Soul Society just didnt sit well with him. He wondered if Ichigo woul go with them and keep an eye on them. That would put his mind at ease. "Alright, i have made up my mind. If the two of you can recruit Ichigo to the cause then i will allow your expedition to take place. I will speak with Urahara tomorrow."
Genji leaned back and closed his eyes, to think for a moment. "The trip isnt going to be an easy one i am sure. I have one more request before you go. I request that the two of you spend 4 days training in the downstairs training grounds, to sharpen your skills. I know they might now be dull but still, do me this one request. This is all i have to say on the matters at hand. I once again open the floor for discussion. If their are no further objections or questions, then i will ajurn the meeting."

[dizzyizzy]

Aizou’s head tilted causing sheen to appear over her glasses, this hid her narrowed eyes from the men. She did not like the idea of having that half baked Vizard in their group. Kid was strong no problem there but his presence did unease her greatly. ~ Just keep a smile Aizou, just keep a smile~ she thought to herself smiling softly closing her eyes, “Sounds like a wonderful plan Genji-kun” she giggled sweetly pusher a strain of hair from her pale face.

“Hmm I can see how that would be a well idea as well” she muttered personally enjoying a good fight, but lately it had seemed boring. Maybe it would help to get in training though, she had almost forgotten what it was like to reach Ban Kai…A sudden sweat drop appeared on her head as she mentally realized that with her Bankai anything underground was not the best of ideas, ~You will just have to pull back from using it Aiai-chan”~ the voice of Namidaame stated calmly, a musical voice that helped the Vizard relax.

Aizou suddenly looked up, “why was that Ichigo boy not invited?” she glanced around, “seems like he should have been here, or are we simply going to appear and tell him to come with us?” she smiled at Genji kindly, “The boy doesn’t seem the type to just go where he’s told…” She added pushing the hem of her dress down a bit.

[masorin]

Jace shook his head so it came down to trusting Urahara again? He never liked that idea the man was an exocentric wild and even jace had a hard time reading what the man in the hat was really thinking. Still he just had to sit back his face blank and covered in the darkness of his hood as it always is. his cold blue eyes stairing at Aizou.

Four days of basement training? With aizou? He smiled at the thought hell if they worked hard, they could probably get the use of the hot springs that were built in down there. After all even as captain class people needed a break. And still the chance to spare with Aizou wasn’t one he would pass up.

Jace was snapped back to reality as she spoke about Ichigo. That fake vizard who walked around pertending to be a shinigami. He was too young to stupid, and whats worse is he by passed HIS academy, and became a soul reaper back when Jace had been a captain. Unforgivable crime that it was. He bit his lip “Must we include that thing into our plans? I know we are hurting for members but for crying out loud it’s a human. And not just any human a human pretending to be a vizard. He is nothing but an annoyance. A pain in my neck and id rather we leave him out of this.”

[zakennayo78]

Genji listened to the comments and influxtions in the tone of his generals voices. He watched their body movement and listened to the comments following. He managed to put togeather, especially from Jace, that neither wanted to have the substitue shinigami and fledgling Vizard along for this journey. The only problem was, who else would he send with the two Vizard commanders. He couldnt trust Jace to go on this mission with Aizou alone, he wouldnt get anything done but trying to pick her up the whole way and detour to some remote oasis in Hueco Mundo for...god knows what.

"I will take into consideration the situation with Ichigo. He doesnt exactly listen to others very well. I will also find others to possibly take his spot on this mission. For now, i still request that the two of you proceed underground and train. Now (Genji stands up) I ajurn the first meeting of the Vizard tribunal. (Genji switched off the recorder) Thank you for showing up, now if you please, tend to you given assignments." Genji slid his zanpakuto into his belt and walked out the door and down the hall to the dormatory wing of the Tribuanl.
