Dead Bone Pulse

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Within the remnants of a broken part of town, a single white colored claw slowly reached out and took hold of a building. Its claw dug deep into the side as it slowly began to pull its way up off the ground, as if it had been resting for sometime. The massive monster was stories tall and its gaping mouth was wide and its teeth sharp.

It had rested enough and was time for another meal. There was nothing like the taste of a human soul compared to that of a hollow but if it could get its jaws on something, it would be devoured all the same. It had one thing in mind and that was to grow stronger and stronger still in spite of Kyouga and for the praise of Yukino. It started this by pushing over the large building and seeing if any human's would scurry about and catch its eye.

Shikotsumyaku continued to let its shifting eye go from any slight movement to another but had completely overlooked the on coming threat. It rested its other hand on its knee but this was not to last as something struck its arm which causes all movement to stop. It was struck. Something or someone had hit it. It slowly turned its head to the side as its eye looked down at its now raised arm that held the injured area. It was slowly at first but surely, the rage began to grow as it slowly began to rise up into its full posture.

It's tail slamming on the ground behind it as the head rose high into the air, looking for the attacker, where ever it might be. The thought of food was high on its list and nothing would do it better than this.

Shikotsumyaku continued to search for the cause of its pain. It was growing more and more inpatient. This only fueling the rage that grew within it, not from the attacker but by the thoughts of times were it was attacked, times like when the arrancar had attacked it, the time when that arrancar had sent it back to the white sands. Where it fed and fed and fed till it returned to the world of the living to fed more.

Another strike had hit it but this time, struck its chest. It halted in its tracks once more as it raised its claws up to cover its chest. It looked toward the direction of the arrow and rose its head as its jaws closed together as red beams of light began to emit from its mouth. It then threw its head forward as its mouth opened widely as a large beam fired from its mouth, this was its cero.

The large boned creature watched as the building had turned to rubble and nothingness. It slowly let its head lower down as its hands rested on the ground. It let its eyes shift around to look toward the grounds, humans scattering in and out of their hiding spots like small bugs. It rose its foot and let it fall down so it could look down at the ground.

It slowly lowered itself down and placed its lower jaw onto the ground in which it began to look for prey once more.

Come. Out.

The gillian continued to try and find a meal to which it could sate itself. It slowly started to move its head forward as it opened and closed its mouth as if trying to catch whatever it might be able to within its jaws but only rubble and debris was ever to be found. It moved its claws forward to try and pry open the gap but was met with something.

It was a bright light that had suddenly caused a sudden darkness, but this darkness was only one sided and only moments after, there was a pain, a horrifying pain. It pulled its head up, scratching against the building as it threw its hands up and covered its wounded eye with a hand whilst the other swung around as if to try and find the attacker. Who was causing it pain, why were they causing it pain? Who could it have been...could it have been him?

GWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Shikotsumyaku continued to flail about, its arm shifting and swinging around in all manners and in what ever direction it could try. It would strike the edges of buildings here and there but nothing of to high destructive power. It had continued to scratch through the air and let out roars and cries of its own pain. It heard the voice of degeneration aimed in its own direction. It's hands covered its head as if it was covering its own ears.

Bones upon bones shot out from all over its front body. From its arms to its head, all of them crossing over one another and stabbing into other bones to protect the massive monsters front with a wall of prickly bones.

F-Find...Shi-ko-tsu-mya-ku...doesn't...want to go BaCk!

The spiritual pressure around the large mass of bones that was a gillian started to fluctuate. It's claws slowly starting to dig into its skull and its feet digging into the ground.

The mass of bone and spikes shifted hesitantly as it began to grind into the ground. The voice continued to plague it once more which only served to throw it more into a unbridled rage. Digging its claws further into the ground and its spines began to grow more and more and pushed into the ground.

L-leave S-Shiko AlONe!

It had no sense of the oncoming attack as the arrows rained down upon it, striking long its spine, ribs, and head. Each strike causing the monster to jerk and shift closer to the ground.

Go AwAY!

With the roar, the massive creature rose up only slightly before its body erupted full of bones in all directions, piercing buildings and the ground, its body being lost in the white solid substance. The bones growing outward and into whatever they may as its spiritual pressure threw into a frenzy and warped inward as the bones stopped growing and soon, all was silent.

The bone forest was silent as small bits of rubble would fall from a now ruined building. The roaring and clawing was no longer something that echoed through the air, the only other side was the creaking of some of the longer bones that held themselves in mid air from the original branching mass.

As the Quincy girl spoke out to the monster, everything was still silent but the massive bone structure shifted slightly as if a tree being moved by the wind. Then, slowly, from the furthest reaches that the bones stretched, they began to crack and creak, growing faster and faster toward the center and once they did, there was a sudden and thunderous BOOM that sent a small shock wave over the ground. Then, the structure began to crumble and crash onto the ground.

Then, there in the center where the Gillian once forced itself into a huddled spot, was a smaller creature that stood still, rather tall but its color scheme was different, more black than white but there were several areas that held the bone color. It now stood there, the hollow-looking mask slowly turned its attention toward the sky in silence.

Spoiler:

Shortly after Shiko evolved, Kyouga entered the area through a sonido not far from Shiko's current location. Right now, Kyouga just watched the scene unfold, but he could definitely sense that Shiko was a lot stronger than he was last time he saw him.

Siddhartha slowly walk closer to this place of broken and hole bound place. As he's eye ceatch a girl and another hallow. As he walk a bit closer to the two from the side he stope and look at the girl for abit. Then he closely looks at the newly evoved hallow. " May I ask what makes you two fight?"

Siddartha find it quit in raging that he is sure that this strange girl is only attack this hallow because she deems it right or just reason. But then again he was sure that hallow was not as innocent eather. Siddhartha grunts and sighs as he sit there winding trying to rap he's head around this fight. Then again this is the first time Siddartha been out of is own world. But the only thin gob he's mind was he love. "Have any of you seen a girl like?" as he goes on explaining how he's significant other look. As he look at the new comer, think maybe he would know something seeing is how he's a arrancar. Siddartha stands there read for anything type of out come. Knowing he's dealing with being not of a hight since then himself.

Shikotsumyaku continued to stare upward into the sky as it seemed just high up now. He slowly let one of his arms raise up as if it was trying to reach up at the air. It did not even come close but it did stop and looked over to its arm and then lowered it down to stare at it carefully, turning over the bone colored gauntlet to look at the dark skinned arm below it. It then stopped its attention and turned it toward the sound of another speaking. Shiko did not move nor speak till all was silent yet again but it did and its voice was...different

"This one does not recall. It has not seen any one girl."

Kyouga finally made the decision to approach Shiko in a rather calm manner. "You have evolved nicely Shiko, and your grammar has significantly improved. You're certainly getting stronger my friend, and you'll grt used to your size." Kyouga said kindly to Shiko with a pat on the back, and shook his head at the Arrancar's question about his significant other.

Siddhartha look at the strange Girl as he seen the Hesitation in her eye's. as he let out a grunt looking up at the Girl.
"So Why have you not answered my question about this girl I'm Looking for?... I'm not here to hurt you... know you. Also just because I'm a Monster does not mean I'm Going to kill you, I'll find me to be Quit a nice person. If you stay on my good side. But By all means Please Kill me if you feel that it is Fit in you're own eye's After all we all are but Monster right..."

Siddhartha Stood back up looking at the other Arrancar, This Felling of dislike came over him. He slowly walked over to The two, For Once Siddhartha was next to someone who was just as big as him. But bigger Siddhartha's eye slowly roll down as they look at the small Arrancar. Over hearing what this man said to The Newly evolved Hallow. He Left compassion towards the stranger.

" You speak so kindly to these lower ranking one's. I commend you for this you not like everything else, When i say this i mean hallows and humans and also soul reapers alike. Casting judgement on what they see fit. when really that is gods, and god;s job alone.

He then slowly held out is arm and spreed is hand out flat as he started glowing and Five spirits appeared around him. in a flash he was up on top of the building with the girls using snap to intently warped right behind her. As he was right be hind her he said to her before anyone noticed what had happen.

"So well you please answer my quieten... or you well not leave this place, until you do." now
Siddhartha slowly went to grab her arm. hoping to hold her there, He still had the other two in he's mind watching them with all precaution. hoping they would not step in.

Shikotsumyaku stood slightly hunched over as he continued to look over his arm with a weird sense of curiosity. He raised his other arm as he placed them against one another and rubbed several times as Kyouga and Siddhartha moved closer and Kyouga even spoke to him but he was far too into himself to be brought out at that very moment, only giving a slow nod for an answer. All the movements were slow but one, one made by Siddhartha as he instantly disappeared which startled Shiko to the point that he took a single step back and looked in the area where the espada once stood.

He reached one of his claws out to move through the air to see that he was no longer there anymore. He then looked over to Kyouga and back toward the spot where Siddhartha once stood and back toward Kyouga. He would then swing his gauntlet at Kyouga to see if he was indeed real.

Kyouga was indeed surprised when the taller Arrancar disappeared after complimenting him on his kindness. Kyouga also became concerned when Shiko seemed confused, and ended up attacking him. "Hey, it's me Shiko! It's okay buddy!" Kyouga said in alarm as he used the Hierro in his arm to block the damage from the attack. He was also feeling that the Arrancar was a lot stronger than he was.

Siddhartha slowly rose up standing there with this look up confusion in he's eye's. As the wind Picked up blowing his hair in his face, There was this sudden chill in the air. as this blink and empty look at feeling covered him. he slowly pulled he arm up to he's hips and clinched he hand in to a fist as he blood started to boil.

" No kindness at all huh? When All i want to know is one Simple question. The real monster bear's it fangs first... SO you well End me hum? Let me ask you one quick Question. Do you believe in miracles...And this world you speak so ill of is this way because. because you human's kill the earth with you're ways.

The spiritual Presser started getting stronger. As the air got thicker. Siddhartha slowly started losing his mind in this sea of dark clouds. He teeth start to rind together. as this lighting started to flash around is body. Five Spirit Spheres of ground, wind, flames, water and neutral element appeared. They started to flow around his body. Siddhartha slowly rose his right arm in the air as the spirits entered he's hand and he let out a cry and punched the floor of the roof leaving a great crater. Going in his Fury state.

"Shoot me.. I dare you TRY and hit me Please for the love of my god TRY!"

Siddhartha stood up looking down at this small but quick girl. as she held her bow fixed on him. But just as quick as he Anger came is was gone. He slowly grabbed he's head slowly running he hand down his face covering it. as he feel bad for letting this darkness get a hold of him like that. Siddhartha slowly gains control of him self and just stands there looking at her. With this deep Despair in he's eye's.

" I'm Sorry... I don't like being looked down at nor being disrespected. I'm Not here to hurt you or fight at all.. I'm just lost, Alone and confused that's all. Forgive me

He then walk to the edge and looked down at the other two. seeing what all was going on down there. If they where okay. He looked around the city roof tops as the stairs off. He let out a sigh trying to rap is head around what he must do next. all this time he's been looking he has found nothing at all of her. With he back turned on the girl. He says in the most kindest voice to this girl.

"Do you think it worth looking for someone you car for even if you know you may never find them?
