SUPER THREAD!

[Kyle]

Garret listened to what Urahara had said, and was confused. "Es...pada? What exactly is that? I've never heard of one..." He couldn't think how ten would be so bad, that Urahara would call them over here to train against them. Were they that bad? He heard Adimus' explanation and his eyes got wide with fear. 'No way... Arrancar that powerful? How can we even defend ourselves? There's no way I can take one of those things out...' For one of the few times in his life Garret was now truly terrified. Especially for his sister. She was still out there, and who knew where those Espada were! What was he gonna do?

Ichigo heard Urahara and became shocked. So shocked in fact the he didn't even notice the ground disappear beneath him. As he was falling, he couldn't help but remember the fights he had against them. Grimmjow, Yammy... Ulquiorra. He nearly died twice while in Las Noches while fighting them. He thought they were all gone. They had defeated them all! How could they still be around? Hitting the ground brought him back to reality. Realizing he was at the bottom of a pit, which reminded him of the Shattered Shaft, a place he remembered well from so long ago, his thoughts re-aligned. "So there's a new group huh? And they've been around how long now?" Reaching to his belt, he unhooked the token Ukitake Jushiro had given him all the years ago, and slammed it to his chest. Popping out of his body into his shinigami form, he picked up his body and jumped.

"Okay cowboy, you're almost correct." Ichigo began as he landed, setting his body down. "Yes, they're powerful, brutish, and relentless. Not all of them are bad though. But knowing what's happened in the recent years, they're all sadistic. I won't lie, you may not make it alive against one as you are. Especially if they've had this long to get stronger. Urahara..." he said as he gripped Zangetsu, the white wrapping unraveling from the blade, "If you're right, we need to prepare everyone. Including myself." as he started having thoughts about having to use his mask after not using it for so long.

Alex stood silently as she listened to everyone talk. While Lou was merely standing there, she walked over to him and placed her elbow onto his shoulder. She propped her head onto her hand and slightly leaned on him. If they weren't so close in hight she could never do this. Thank goodness to her being about an inch or two shorter than him.

Her shadow sank below her feet as a playful smirk danced over the female's lips. She then cleared her throat after Ichigo's speech, hoping to get a slight bit of attention. She may had been the new girl but that wouldn't stop her from actually trying to contribute a bit.

"What I believe Ninjin is saying here, is that we need to get to work. I don't truly care who our opponent is but I do know one thing for sure..." Alexandra's eyes looked up toward the group of people in front of her."If we don't get our asses moving, we're going to get them handed to us on a silver platter whenever we see these espada. First off.. I think to make this a bit simple and to get a real work out... I say we have a free for all spar. That way we can kick in our abilities and be ready for a good long training session."

With that said she closed her eyes once more. "So who agrees with the small idea? If you don't no biggy. Not like my shadow will be mad at you or even I will." She said with a lightly joking tone, peeking her eye over to her side, looking at Lou then Adi before closing her eye back.

Lacus sighs and nervously listens to what is said. At the mention of Espada and what they are she swallows nervously and starts sweating visibly in front of everyone. She hears what Ichigo says and than what the tall woman says. She stands up and is about to say something but her head starts spinning, mostly because she is too scared by what she heard, and partly because of the free for all sparring thing mentioned. She feels dizzy and takes a couple steps backwards, than promptly passes out in front of everyone.

Genji

Genji thought about how the world had already suffered from there being 10 espada before and the tolls it took on the people that fought them. He personally hadn't gotten the chance. Whle others where out sacraficing themselves he was busy training himself to control his inner hollow, but not this time, this time he would step to the front lines and kill anybody he could to preserve balance. Genji didnt normally think so seriously about things, but this was definetly an exception. Being lost in thought, he missed what most people had said to him and didnt have a reply for them when he suddenly spoke. "Here is what i have so far, Adimus, Lou, and Chase will accompany me for training. These people i have prepared a training regiment for, i would like to have all gunslingers with me however Ryuu-san and everybody else you are free to choose either myself or Urahara-san to accompany, either way you will get the training necesary to fight and survive." -I hope- he thought to himself not wanting to run their morale before the battle even began. Genji walked over to a nearby rock formation and stomped his foot down causing a chain reaction opening a door in the floor revealing a stairwell leading to another training room. "Those not listed are free to choose their teacher, but choose quickly, we havent much time." As he finished talking, Genji looked to Adimus with a serious look in his eyes, as if to say "Get em moving" before walking down the stairs to the sub basement.

Chase

Chase couldnt believe what he was hearing. End of the world, 10 people who had the power to destroy cities with a blink of the eye, and a training regiment made to make him able to survive his empending doom. This was too much to swallow for him. He felt the look of panic creep across his face then thought a minute. -I can let these people know im scared or anything, im the great Azriel, angel of death, i can handle anybody- "HAHAHAHAHA, bring em on, i'll kill em all. Im the great Azriel, the angel of death! Nobody can beat me HAHAHAHAHA!" He stopped laughing for a minute and thought again. -Man i dont even know who any of these people are, i was just sent here to kill Adimus, what the hell did i get myself into? I guess i'll just go with it for now, after all who am i to turn down training to get stronger. Watch out fools, here comes the best gunslinger on earth.- "Hey serious dude, wait up!" Chase yelled down the stairs moving towards it only to stop and turn around briefly to half ass salute everybody else and smile. "See you all on the other side." and with that Chase turned back aorund and ran down the stairs after the man named Genji.

Genji and Chase have left the thread.

After hearing the answer to the question as how he managed to teleport and listening through the speech, Mitsuki nodded with a stern face to show that she is determined to do by any means necessary to protect her new home of Karakura. However, some are not so determined after hearing about what the Espada is or as Mitsuki corrected herself, “are.” One guy definitely terrified about it as the little girl was easily startled and confused. Though the sunshine boy gets dumped into a hole, Ryuu-San expected him to return.

”Relax.”

Mitsuki patted on the terrified man’s shoulder and said that word with abrupt confidence in tone and a smile that hints that “things will work out eventually” just before the sunshine boy came back up, but with his own body, forcing Mitsuki to look at him out of curiosity. The comforting look turned into enigmatic once again as seeing that was unusual...but she has to keep in mind that she is dealing with more than just any Arms Convention she been in, weird things are bound to happen, and hopefully did not send Mitsuki into mild insanity. The sunshine boy explained about the Espada and released his massive butcher knife from its wrapping, encouraging the group to get to training. The woman stood up and mentioned about a free for all sparring, which was Mitsuki’s forte because she has been in many ambushes and standoffs during her years in the military, despite the sight of the girl fainting did made Mitsuki a bit concerned about her chances.

The man who carried the kid in spoke and gave the group a choice to either join him or Urahara. Though the two that were going with the man were definitely from the military and the kid that chased them was a brat, Mitsuki thought more about using a mix of metaphysical powers that allowed her to see monsters to enhance her versatility options. Judging by the looks of the Urahara Squad, Mitsuki sees more options there instead with that man who asked for gunslingers. Knowing that she do not have time to make long decisions, she made one now.

”I’ll take Urahara-sensei. Besides, someone ought to look out for that powderpuff.”

Mitsuki said it with firm tone as she walked around the hole and to the little girl before kneeling down to check on her condition. From basic perspective, she does not have a dent or a scratch...yet, but she has to buffer that hood before trying to ram a rock at half a mile per hour. Maybe a bumper will do fine and some S.A.W.’s. Wait! She’s a human, not a military rover! Mitsuki shook her head to get the mechanic stuff temporarily out of her head. Knowing that she is fine, Mitsuki carefully lifted the girl onto her right shoulder with no problems, even with a heavy pack on her back.

”When did ya eat before that jerky? Even an ant can kidnap you.”

Mitsuki hardly cared if the little girl just wakes up and freaks out about the comment about her light weight, so she thought it would be alright to comment about it out loud. Setting the humors aside, she stood by Urahara, waiting for more volunteers to be accompanied with.

”Urahara-sensei? Know any offensive magic that I can use as my gun’s ammo instead of relying on bullets?”

Just as she asked Urahara, she pulled out her revolver with her left hand to show Urahara what she is planning to use for the Espada.



Mitsuki has joined Team Urahara.

[masorin]

Urahara

Urahara watched there reactions to his news and unfolded his fan as he watch Ichigo climb out of his hole he was honestly hoping for a more childish reaction from the man but it seemed that Ichigo had matured a lot more then he had expected. Urahara turned and began to fan himself.

“please come this way my team and Garret please come with me, I have some training tools for you. also as to your question about bullets I may be able to help you to some degree.” Urahara fanned himself as he walked towards the other end of the field away from genji’s group. His cane in his hand as he walked his clogs making a familiar clacking sound.

Kaito

Kaito watched as every began to leave for group activity time, what was the point of that? did they really expect him to just go with a group. The eleventh squad had long ago taught him that the only way to work was one on one. that is how you learned that is how you fought that is how you died.

Kaito looked around finding the weak little shinigami passed out on some ones shoulder. he began to laugh now that was a pile that he could work with. He drew his sword and walked up to the Urahara group. At first he made like he was gonna join them and then he grabbed lacus from the human and sent a kick to the humans gut “ill be taking this girl if you don’t mind, it takes a shinigami to train a shinigami. And I hate this little group fair bull so ill be off then.

[Urahara has left the thread, kaito will leave the thread with lacus’ next post]

[Adimus]

{Chapter 6: And The Wayward Sons Shall Rise.}

Adi and Lou looked around themselves, and listened as Genji spoke, and agreed with Adi that Genji would be Adi and Lou's master for the time being. As they listened to everyone else's reaction to the news of impending war, Adi simply thought "I guess I had to step up sooner or later. Why not now." Whereas Lou thought "Man, I hope they have donuts here, I'm kinda hungry. Oh and the whole world ending thing kinda sucks. Hope they have donuts in hell."

As Genji opened up a stairway into another chamber, and recieed the notion to follow from him, Adi looked to Lou and Nodded to him. "Lou, follow Genji and the tart noob down there. I'll catch up with ya, just wanna have a few words with Alex first, From Elder Jade to Freshman." Lou simply nodded and followed the instructions, going down the staircase with Genji and Chase.

Walking up to Alex, Adi said "I think the idea of a free for all melee fell on deaf ears this time, but perhaps on another occasion we all might take you up on it. Look, things have been rough, needless to say, for all of us, and in the coming times it's going to get worse. You have talent, alot of it I must admit, and though your powers are unique and interesting, mixing Shadow Bending with a Gunblade, they need work. The point I'm trying to get across right now is that we have two very different groups of people right now: One group that has raw power that needs to be refined, and the other that's going to discover it. Following Genji and Me I'm sure you'll learn how to better use the power you already have, and maybe even learn a Gunslinger's trick or two with that beauty of yours" Adi said pointing to Alex's gunblade. "The other group, I don't know them but I can say that the majority of them are below you in power, but might grow immensely with you helping them, and ten to one will help you in working up your dueling skills." Adi said, letting out a large sigh.

"Just be careful with what you choose, from Elder Jade Warrior, to a fresh Jade Warrior. I don't want you to get screwed over and hurt, alright? Take care of yourself, and see you when it's time for the big fight." Adi said, with a sly smirk and his trademark sarcastic wave.

And with that, Adi mentally prepped himself for what would be either his awakening, or his stark realization of what was to come.

{Adi And Lou have left the thread, leaving with Genji and Chase to become MANLY MEN!!!!!!}
