Rebel Hideout

--Sniper & Rocker--
Rocker bounced back with white liquified stuff running down her eyes, she growed furiously before launching again, this time aiming to slash Sniper with what looks like claws that grew out from her hands. Sniper held her off by using her riffle as a sheiled, but this sent her flying off her feet, mid air she dropped the riffle and pulled out two hand guns from her waist immidiately going trigger happy on Rocker.

--Seven--

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance" Seven tipped his hat before introducing him self. "Im Seven."

He turned to Ferris Will wondering if it was safe to attack with him at such a close range, he prepared non the less.

The hollow snickered and let out a blood chilling laugh before shooting towards Seven at an incredible speed reaching her claws out to Slash at his face. The body gave off a cold, chilling reiatsu. Every step it took a ice pillar rose.

She stood in the dark alone. Her mind hurting. She grabbed her head in pain and confusion. Her memories tainted, hurt. The room was cold and barren but she could hear things. Like a chuckle. The thing looked at her. Than choking her. Aki looked at the thing with empty eyes. As if she had no motivation to try and defend. To live. "Has the game been lost? "

The monster jumped around each time landing, shooting a cero at Ferris and Seven through it's mouth. Sometimes even clawing at its self. As if it was subconsciously stopping itself.

[i]She let out a small smirk. "If you think the game is over... I won." She stabbed the eye of the monster with her foot and smiled.

-Seven-

Seven grab held of his coffin decorated necklace and crushed it, a small cloud of smoke covered him and the next thing anybody knew, a guitar was hanging lazily around his body. He played it to distract Aki. "Over here." He yelled. and when it didnt work, he played a different melody and held the guitar like a bow, aimed and pulled on the strings to fire an arrow that looked similar to a quincy's. He aimed for her heart.

-Ferris Will-

Will was in a deep trance, his body was taking a beating, but his soul traveled through the realms of Aki's mind. There were so many paths, then, in a second, he saw the right one and began treading it.

In this dark room, she was the only light, her silver hair glowed much like everything about her, but she was not her self, she was being manipilated by this fake darkness... yes, he could see what was causing this.

He stares at it, eye to eye he did not blink nor it. "So... this is what an inner hollow looks like." he says, only he could exist in such world, honly he could help this lost little girl. But this thing, it wanted to eat him alive to take him out.

He shook his head. "I dont like fighting. Im not very strong see."

Aki snickered at the song. It stared at the guitar as if something new. Something never seen before. The melody wasn't like a trance nor a distraction. To her it was something more of a key. Her inner self couldn't notice though. It was too busy. Too focused. On eating Seven.

-----

Admist the cold darkness she made a side glance at it. Saying nothing. Only laughter was heard. With Ice pillars falling right at Ferris. As she only stood. Her eyes, losing the golden hue it used to illuminate with joy and adventure. Her voice different but a bit the same. "You look quite the meal"

------------

Back with Seven The monster laugh and rose its hands. It launched laughing with sharp teeth, going to devour Seven

--Seven--

Seven moved quick even in shinigami standards, he jumped barely avoiding the creatures sharp razor teeth, he smirks, grabing held of his guitars neck, it transformed into something that looked like a guitar-sword with strings and all. He swung it and was sent flying, he didnt hit Aki but he used the wave to send himself flying.

"Hum Hallelujah ,4th string " Blinding light shot out from the guitar in the form of colorful notes.

Spoiler:

--Ferris Will--

Will shook his head. "Let her go, he told the hollow." this time very much in a serious tone.

The monster screamed at the bright light. It threw its claws at the ground. Making an ice wall in between her and Seven. It hid its eyes with its claws. For a sudden burst of light it was painful for any eyes to adjust.

----------------

The hollow only grabbed tighter as Aki hung with her fingers crinkling at the pain. She almost didn't even notice Ferris's presence as she was locked eyes with the hollow. The hollow on the other hand took one of its sharp nails and stabbed Aki's left eye and she screamed. It was much physical pain but something inside her was painful.

--Ferris Will--

Will was a patient man, but on several ocations, no. not so much, particularly this one. "Im gonna say this one last time." when he said this, a small glow started expanding from his chest as if a strange power is about to reveal it's self.

"Let her go."

--Seven--

The light seem to have worked for now, but Seven didnt think it would last. Mid air he landed with a 360 turn and was now in a crouching position hidden behind a rock

"Let's see if you can escape this." Seven now plays a different melody, a melody with lots of chords and mis matched notes. There was no visible change, but Aki should feel it by now.

"6th String. Double Trouble."


With Sniper dealing with Rei, there was only Waka in the area. "Wanna help?" he asked.

The hollow only laughed at Will and pulled it finger out of her eye socket and ate her eye. Smiling. While Aki grabbed her eye screaming. "I'LL KILL YOU" Aki yelled at it. The aura around Aki grew as her cold reiastsu spread around. But the hollow only taunted will not caring of Aki.

--------------

The monster fell to its knees screaming at Seven. Almost clawing at him slowly. Trying to fight the effect. As painful as it was to resist it didn't stop. Screaming, drooling blood wanting to feast on he's flesh.

--Ferris Will--

The light on Will's chest grew brighter only to extract when he placed his hand over it, like there was a hole in his chest, he pulled out a katana in ivory white. He dashed towards Aki passed her.


It seems he's done nothing. He turned back... wondering if the creature has realized what he's done.


--Seven--

Only God knew how long the seven could hold this hollow down. If he was gonna defeat her at all, he needed a clear shot at her mask.

Maybe if he could hit it precisely at the right spot, it would abort the hollowfication and Aki could be saved.

"lemons it Adam, just what the heck are you doing in there?" Seven thought...

He held his guitar like an bow, puled on the strings and it formed a reiatsu induced arrow which grew in size the longer he held onto it. He aimed it at her mask and fired. Hoping it would hit the right spot and shatter everything to pieces.

The monster only pounded its fist forming a wall around its self. Ferris not even in its vision anymore. As ferris passed Aki she finally noticied him and her cold aura still growing. She did realized at this point, she forgot but now she remembered. She stood and smiled at Ferris.
-------------------------
The hollow laughed, shouting its screetchy tone everywhere. But suddenly it started scratching at its seld. Making deeper cuts that Seven did. And soon after the arrow hitting the center of her mask. The arrow stilled at the spot for a bit. Till the mask started shattering bit by bit.

The mask only remained on the top left of her face. Covering her eye still. Her eyes remained hollow but the childish face reappeared. It smiled with her eyes closed. And soon a whirwind of ice cold air circled.

--------------------
But than over to the hollow. She took her sword and stabbed at the wall. Hitting something inside. It screamed, and soon Aki screamed as something inside the wall stabbed her right torso. she smiled and reached for Ferris. "Yeah I think i won."

--Ferris Will--

Will was surprised that things progressed on there own, he stood next to Aki and her hollow watching the darkness disintegrate into silver light particles "It seems you have." He tells her. The glow on his chest beams over one end of the room, and there a round door appears. "This is the way out." he tells her. He walks ahead, hand stretched out to her as if asking for her hand. "Whenever you're ready." He says.


--Seven and Rocker--

Seven watched closely has he landed, his guitar disappearing back into a necklace with a small coffin trinket. Rocker was running towards them as the smoke emerges, it seems all the fights were ending on all end.

Aki stared out at the door, for a spilt second hesitating but than laughs like her old self. She grabs he's hand warmly and smiles, "Hahaha looks like I made a mess of things a bit. Oh well. That's life right? One mess after another." She said.

-----

As the whirlwind disappeared Aki looked liked herself again. Young and fresh. But tired and worn out. She stood there her eyes staring at the ceiling. Smiling brightly.

Will was right infront of her it seems, he was holding her hand still, but they were back in the real world, he was prepared for anything at this point, but he was sure she's calmed now. If She fell, he was ready to catch her. This was a breakthrough. This little girl, she won over her hollow. But What of Rei? Will shrugs. He knew the answer, no, maybe not, but something was still bothering him.

There was also the other guy, what was his name, Sorim. Sorbe... Will shrugs.

"We should return to the barracks. Our guest needs proper rest for what's about to come."

What was about to come, he gave no real explanation, but it was as if he already knew. The all knowing leader, full of secrets, always silent.

"rest? nah I can... I can. fight..." she than slowly fell the the ground holding he's hand. It seemed she was exhausted enough to fall asleep standing. A first for her. It was a weird feeling that she didn't even know of. "Maybe I'll take a short.... nap..." She said knocking out to dream world.

The first aide unit went to the rescue almost immediately even without orders, when she fell on Will's shoulders, the team took her from her position and sent her lying on a stretcher, they used a lift camouflaged behind a rock and sent her to the infirmary.

Will stayed behind now facing Rocker and Seven, Rei's body in particular. "So. What are you little miss?" he asks almost amused.

A few days have passed since the slightly normal day within the hide out, now the wounds are starting to heal and the tech people figuring out how to make use of what's left of the time.


The day of the attack draws near and before them, the World government posts threats.


Sniper waits just outside of Soren's room, she walks back and fort not knowing what to say. Her sister was out on some clean up duty and they haven't said a word to each other since.

But she still walked back and forth. thinking thinking.

Soren laid there in his bed he had not been awake since his whole fiasco his condition was critical for the longest time but as of yesterday morning he was finally taken out of critical condition now all he had to do was wake up. The machines beeping in his room Soren's chest had been healing quite nicely but his whole chest was bandaged up and his breathing was light.

Walking walking, talking. Sniper was obsessively watched over the door, but not the one behind the door. She wanted to go in. But she couldnt go through with it, she cant just twist the knob and enter, no, she was thinking up a speech, how to greet him if he was a wake.

Would a "Yo" suffice or maybe silence, just pure silence. She wasnt a wordy person, the longest conversation she had with Rei ended with tears, buckets and buckets of tears. She was weird that way.

Seven was watching Sniper go back and fort now and this was worse than his crazy hangovers in the past. He yawned and imagined Sniper as one of those black and white air hockey games, back and fort, back and fort.

He walked pass her and opened the door for her and pushed her in, then followed. "HEYY WAKEY WAKEY SPEELY HEAD!" He yells inside the room. Even with the "keep silent" sign. It appears to be an old library.

Soren's eyes jolted open upon hearing the door slam and he jolted up wearing shorts and his banages his blanket in the air. I'm up...I'm...Up... Looking across the room he saw Sniper standing across the room he wasn't actually expecting to see her there and he smiled at her and waved. Hey there Sniper I see you look fine today! He cracked his neck and stood up yesterday was a tough day but are how are you feeling?

Seven poked his head next between the two, eyeing Soren to the core. "How about me? No greeting? Ehh?!" he says nudging him lightly, fixing one or two tubes that went out of place while doing so.

Sniper was frozen on the other hand, all those sleepless nights on lookout, she was thinking of how this boy was doing, and now that he's awake, she doesn't have a word in mind. "Yo!" She says, hand stiffly positioned to what looked like a salute wave or something in between.

Seven was looking at her pretty much unsure of why she was so weird in-front of him. "Now then.." He turned to Soren. "How are you feeling? It's been a week or so, hungry for something or anything out of the ordinary?"

Soren noticed Seven was there and he laughed about his greeting Ah yes of course Seven well good morning to you it's a pleasure to actually meet you finally allow me to introduce myself I'm Soren Kiyomeru a well was a fullbringer but now I suppose I a cross between a fullbringer and shinigami. Nevertheless a pleasure to meet you. Seven mentioned something about food and drinks now that he had mentioned it... Then it crossed Soren's mind Wait.. you said a week... Sniper... is this true... Soren seemed to be shocked was he really out for that long?

Sniper nodded like a robot. "yeahuh" indeed it has been a week, she carved marks on her gun. days, hours, minutes. "7 days, 5 hours and 26 minutes." and then she laughed funny, then talked to her self.

Seven shrugs. "It's nice to finally meet you to. Im Seven, that's what they call me and what I go by, as you may have noticed, we go by code names here, we just like to keep our privacy... but since you gave me your name, maybe you can go by it, or do you want to have a code name of your own?"

Soren smiled when sniper actually said the whole time he's been out and listened to what Seven had to say he sighed and shrugged. It's up to you boss I don't care either way is fine to me. Soren turned his attention to sniper and smiled and he chuckled a bit 7 days, 5 hours and 26 minutes? you must have missed me I'm sorry to have made you worry.

Sniper blushed then said. "Missed you? PHAHAHAHAA" She laughed and laughed and laughed. Seven found this very odd. "Maybe our snipper developed a little cru." Before seven could even finish the line Sniper grabbed him by his coffin necklace. "I dont have a..." She blushed again . "Cuu..." she spat out, but can never finish it even with so many attempts.

"She even made you a getw." Seven spoke again. "SEVEN! SHUT UP!" Sniper yells.
