Hide and Seek {6th Division & 11th Division Investigation}

"Well my squad seems ready and everythings all good to go, I think we should go in there. What ever is in there well... I still have the bad feeeling in my gut about it but a mission's a mission and nothing is going to take down the Mighty Squad 11 and the Titan Squad 6!"

Michael had a very serious look on his facwe and then looked over towards his squad to check if they were ready.

As Haruka see that the fog started to suround them. She quickly holded the hand of Minami. She wispred to her ''Don't let go of my hand no matter what...'' As the captain of the 6th division freaked out. She stood still until he finished. It was bit scary when she saw the captain going insane like that. She decided to wait untill the captain gave his order. She said to herself in her head''This is just great, we are up against someone or something that we don't even know a bit.''

She noded when Roan asked them if they were ready. She said with a tiny voice''C-can I hold your hand t-taicho?''

Michael clicks his neck from side to side and then turn around to face the building and begins to walk at a steady pase towards the door he holds in his hands his two zanpaktou's which shine brightly through the fog. His riatsu was at a stable level were it wasent too powerful but it could still be felt from a short distance away. As Michael walked forwards his squad would follow behind him alongside squad 11. Once both Michael and Roan reached the large metalic doors of the factory Michael turned to Roan and then said.

"Okay there are only 2 ways of opening this. The first way is the boring way, testing to see if its open and just opening it, the 2nd way is to kick it down and frighten what ever the hec is inside there. So which one do you wanna do?"

Ashe watched warily as an old man dressed up approached them and she took a slight step forward, her hand resting on her zanpakuto. A letter from the count? Who was that? She listened to the rhyme blankly before she started to get dizzy just thinking about it. She was absolutely horrible at word problems... Groaning and shaking her head she looked at the others to see if they understood but it didn't seem like it.

The blond soul reaper glanced at her captain as he coughed and then her eyes went wide as he seemed to hear something...but she didn't. She looked around and saw nothing and looked back at the brawnier man as he suddenly started shouting at the fog and calling out to someone who wasn't there it seemed. Getting worried she drew her hand forward. "Sazumushi Taichou..." She murmured worriedly before drawing her hand back as Roan seemed to take the lead with him.

Ashe looked into his eyes and felt a flash of fear go through her body. Her Captain..was afraid? Of what? She couldn't think of anything to make any captain scared as her own's eyes seemed to be. But she simply swallowed and lowered her own frightened gaze as her captain issued orders and she nodded sharply before drawing out her zanpakuto which began glowing a soft light from it's blade that lit up an area around 4 feet around her. She was about to offer to give some more light around their group when Michael when he did almost the same thing with his own zanpakuto...only around 1,000 times better. Blinking at the power of the light and how far it reached Ashe felt sheepish at her own meager light and lowered her blade.

As Sazumishi Taichou began walking forward the shorter soul reaper quickly followed after him and Oakranr Taichou with the rest of her squad and squad 11 before they reached a door. Rolling her eyes at her captain's typical answer she just knew what choice the two captains would go for. The poor door in mention didn't even look sturdy or like it was locked. Sighing she stepped forward and reached out her left hand that was not holding her glowing zanpakuto, about to try to open the door for the captains. "Oh stop making a fuss." She sighed.

The door welcomed them by opening it's self, slow it made sounds echoing the mist shrouded area. The stench of decay and death escaped the closed area as the door opened, it would be wise not to enter, but it was inviting them. Soft phantom tunes started playing after so, in an eternal loop, it plays without end, haunting those who hears it. It could be a sign, something has been started, but what? What's the connection of everything? It was for them to find out, sooner, or later.

Michael's face went suddenly serious, the doors opened up infront of him, he placed his hand over Ashe's shoulder and pulled her back gently and said in a soft serious tone.

"Ashe, get behind me, what ever comes at us you stay behind and fight what ever manages to escape... I've got a bad feeling about this."

Michael began to slowly enter the large factory, his footsteps could be heard everytime he walked. Michael looked around and heared the phantom music playing not quite his style but he'd most likley destroy that soon. Michael withdrew his zanpaktou's and the light immideatly faded his captain's robe moving only lightly as he would walk and as the gentle breeze would blow. Finnaly he passes the doors and stands there looking around the place wondering whats going to happen. He saw that the fog was getting thicker by the minute and was curious to see if what he beleaves will happen come true.

"Roan... get in here and withdraw your zanpaktou... we're gonna have to be stealthy here."

"Don't worry about it for now... being stealthy usualy means watch were you step and don't attack at the first thing you see move..."

Michael continues walking into the building, seeing as it gets darker and the fog moves around getting thicker. Michael would wave his hand slowly infront of him to move the fog away. Michael would try and see if he could feel any spiritual pressure but other than the combined team that was 6 and 11. Michael would look about and then came to a stop. He looked about with his head and then said.

"Whoever or what ever your are, quit hiding and reveal yourself to us!"

Michael said this in a serious tone as his voice would begin to echo around the area able to be heard from further down the building. Michael's heart was beating at a slightly faster beat than normal he was slightly nervous so his heart was racing at roughly around 145-150 bpm (beats per minute).

Ashe's became wide and she felt a stab of fear as a horrible waft of dead air washed over her and the only thing that stopped her from flash stepping behind the two captains was her own Captain telling her to do just that. Nodding eagerly she tried to suppress the shudders going down her spine as she gripped her zanpakuto tightly. The blond soul reaper knew the reason why her taichou sheathed his zanpakuto but still her mind roared for him to not leave himself defenseless. Simply hoping that the Captain Oakranr would watch his back as she would watch both of theirs. She glanced briefly behind her, still feeling uneasy about being left behind, even though she knew the danger was greater inside the building. She did a few calming breathing techniques but they weren't helping much, that music was creeping her out too much. As the two men progressed deeper in Ashe had to strain her eyes to see but then lost sight of them in the fog. She restrained herself from using her shikai to light the way as Michael did say that they needed stealth. But then why was he yelling? Waiting for something to happen she simply stayed put, at the ready.

As her taicho was about to give his hand to Haruka. She changed quickly of mind and holded Minami's instead. She moved left to right her head to say ''no''. Since she changed her mind.

As they walked to the door. The captains were about to open the door with brutality. She sighted softly and looked at the blond shinigami who oppned the door so easly with doing nonsense. When she opened the door she giggled abit and looked inside the dark building. She felt suddently cold and looked away with disgust. It smelled like blood and it din't seem very inviting to come in to her. She taged along behind her captain who seemed nervous. While they walked in the dark corridors. She tried to ignore the creepy tune that was playing yet she din't made it. She din't say a word while they were all talking. She then decided to just be ready to any occasion of danger. She putted her hand on the handle of her zanpaktou.

Minami stared at Haruka's hand in her hand and she smirked since Haruka chose her instead of the captain. She then follows along and as she get closer she gets more and more enveloped by the strange scary music. She also smelled blood the intense ordor of blood. She tought ``what gross and inhuman things could have happened here`` Even if she could not see well she continued and follow the pack.

Haruka listened clearly what her captain said, but... She refused to hold back. It is not in her nature to run away frome danger. She then just wakled faster into the dark. Even if she knew she'd get in trouble for disobaying her taicho. She din't care that much what would happen to her. She only cared for him. She continued to walk in the dark not realy knowing where she was going.

Minami naturaly followed Haruka since she was holding her hand and
did not want her to go alone. She then continue following in the
dark but she holds Haruka's hand tighly so that if something
happens she may pull her back.

Sorry captain i'm afraid i must disobey you

Michael would look around in the pure darkness, Michael uneathed his zanpaktou's and swung them around his hands for abit. He slammed his two zanpaktou's down onto the ground to crack the floor and make a mark so that he remembers where he has been. He then begins to walk further into the building and then says.

"Come on both squads keep moving forwards, no one is left behind, everyone unsheath your zanpaktou's and stay aleart, if you have any source of light I reccomend you use it now"

At that point Michael's two zanpaktou's automatically lit up in a very bright light without him having to say anything to them asif they knew what he wanted.

"Remember anything strange happends attack rapidly unless ordered not to, if you find anything report it back up."

The darkness enveloped them all, but once the 6th division captain stepped in, he was no longer in sight, he vanished from the darkness leaving everyone clueless of where he went too.

Inside, the warehouse looked normal, abandoned and desolated, but something was pushing them away, urging them not go in any further, but the 6th division captain ignored all those signs, he walked further, and now, it seems like he walked into a closed space.

---------------------------
You're all stuck wondering what happened, one second he was there, the next gone, will the same happen to you, or is the 6th division captian a special case? As he dissapeared, the temperature dropped, making the fog more visible now, its almost impossible to see anything. Aware of what the 6th division captain said before he vanished, you were to attack anything unless ordered not to, you were to do just that.

Something was coming, and they came in numbers, hundreds of them, no, maybe thousands, slow steps coming with the fog, what's coming for you?

As he lowered his presence as much as possible up to this point, he wasn't sure if other shinigami, who were involved in this mission, knew if he had been following them all along. To give himself a little more attention, Kaoru stood among the squad members, dazed at the events that were unfolding before him. It was excruciating for him to keep track of what was happening around him. As confusing the situation became, Kaoru began to preparing for a kido spell, as he could no longer predict what would happen, if he kept himself defenseless.

"The hell.....This isn't our ordinary mission, isn't it? Pure chaos. I hope my captain knows what we should be doing at this point." Kaoru complained, as he began to charge a small light of kido energy on his left palm.

He then wondered if he should unsheathe his soul cutter or not. Seeing how things went, Kaoru pondered about showcasing his abilities, this early point of the mission.

Michael walked in deeper into facotry, he had his zanpaktou's at hand and Michael was getting slightly nervous he shouted out.

"Everyone get ready with you're zanpaktous! I don't know whats happening but I have feeling its not gonna be good! Everyone get closer to my sides... I said get to my sides!"

Michael grunted and turned around to face his group.

"I said get to my sides... what the..?"

Michael looks around the place to see total darkness he coulden't see his squad anywhere in site.

"Hello...? anyone there..?"

Michael heard no responce from anyone Michael was getting slightly worried but then he took a deep breath stretched abit and then raised his spiritual pressure enough to make a third seat fall to there knees, Michael grabbed hold of his Zanpaktou's and turned around and continued walking forwards.

"What ever you are... where ever you are... come out now!"

"I'm hear" a voice laughed from the darkness, someone was with him, but this person, creature was not part of his group. "No here!" Another said. You can hear footsteps over the metalic flooring, a bottle rolled and the voice laughed coming from all over the place. "You know me!" it claimed. "NO YOU DONT"

The stench starts to become more real, at first, you thought it was your imagination, but it was building up into something more real. "Look behind you" the voice said, "No no, dont look, you dont wanna see that."

"Shut up!!" the voices started arguing, if he turned, he would see piles of hald decayed corpses, everyone in town was dead, and the stench was the smell of there deaths, but who killed them.

"Dont listen to them, you're innocent?" One said. "Who's innocent, im not." The argued continuously. "No im innocent, i didnt kill them." arguments after the other. "I killed them.. no WE killed them, do you understand?"

Michael turned around to see the pile of dead coirpses, Michael almost gagged at the stench and smell, he covered his nose with his captains haori, he looks around and but still keeps his spiritual pressure stable.

"Alright then... I don't know who the hell you are... or what you are... but if you're not a coward then hows about you come out here and face me like a real Warrior. You think all this fog all this darkness is gonna get you anywhere, all these dead corpses?"

Michael spits to the side.

"Duck no... in my opinion you're a whimp, you're tryna say something but you can't say it, you like to toy around with you're food your victems. Now then... give me you're best shot and come at me with all you got! Do what you gotta do but if you hurt anyone of those members of my squad or any other then I will remember these voices and search for you all endlessly and nonstop until I find you, then... I will kill you all with my bare hands. Grab you by the throught and crush it and watch you all as you die!"


Michael had a serious tone in his voice and grabed held of his zanpaktou's tightly, he wasent gonna let a bunch of dead corpses freak him out, even if the strench was incredibly strong. Michael looked around the room with his eyes and coulden't see anything.

Michael tapped his two zanpaktou's on the floor and instantly they lit up brightly enough for him to see where he was standing. He would look around and he could see dead bodies everywhere and blood all over the walls and the floor scratch marks and blade marks everywhere asif someone has come through here before.

Could it have been these dead people who were once noble shinigami's? or wondering spirits who managed to come across swords in the rukongai. Either way he woulden't let any of this bother him even though he felt slightly nervous from seeing them all.

The voices started laughing all in different variations, they were coming from all over the place, whispering to each other. "he doesnt know it yet, he doesn't know" it started. "he knows, he's just confused." they argued. "shut up your confusing us" a bottle rolled over the metallic ground once more, swift movement, heard everywhere, foot steps, and a fuse box emitting static electricity noises.

"You wanna see wanna see?" one voice spoke closer, close enough to be categorized as a whisper. "look in front of you." a shadow like figure formed rose from behind him and pointed its arm in front of him. "A mirror!a mirror..." the voices continued. "Look closely and see if you don't recognize the face that did all this."

As his captain allowed him to do so, Kaoru cancelled out his kido energy and unsheathed his soul cutter. Readying himself for the worst, Kaoru gulfed down his fears. Unfortunately, the surrounding area was way too grotesque for him to think clearly. Without having any further thoughts, Kaoru decided to land a decisive blow with his soul cutter at his full might to something/someone that will come into contact with him. For he was stressed out both physically and mentally, his eyes began to show redness in them.

"One touch and I will not hesitate to do it......" Kaoru said, as he turned his head around in an awful attempt to find something useful for this mission.
