Hollis turns to Tazuma as he mentions hunting down their Lts'. It sounds like a good way to pass the time and maybe even a bit fun as well.

"Hm. well i wouldn't wan to exert too much energy on such a trivial matter but, i suppose that would be fun. After all, they forfeited their lives the moment they became so weak.."


Captain Edwards says in his normal smooth yet somewhat monotone voice. He then continues to listen to the other captains speak until he is asked about the details of kawamaru's betrayal.


"Well..from what i observed a..."


Before Hollis can continue speaking, Lt.Minoru bursts through the door, riddled with blood and wounds. He can barely stand as he struggles to speak. Edwards quietly listens as the Lt speaks.He looks at his bloodied beaten body and his normal smirk begins to turn into a small grin but quickly recedes. He thinks about how his subordinates cunning, despite the fact that he allowed himself to be so easily manipulated by a woman.


Well, i suppose he learned a great bit in his time with my squad. Good for him, this shinigami's body is quite wounded. Hmph, but of course he failed to finish it. And even worse, he allowed himself to be swayed by the finite charms of the opposite sex. how droll...




As Minoru finishes explaining what happened there is a brief silence. Hollis awkwardly breaks it as he looks over at the 13th squad captain and says..


"Uh, yeah. what he said, that pretty much sums it up..."



Captain Edwards begins to grow a bit bored so he takes out a shiny red apple from his sleeve and begins to eat it to regain his energy.





"tastey..."


He udders to himself.

Zoran Zazaravitch appeared back in the Soul Society as he had left. The two gates parted and the light if the senkaimon flooded outward into the street. STepping out of the gate, he met another hell butterfly. The one he had taken with him to the world of the living dispersed, flying off into the sky. This second one..It had a message of sorts. He knew there was a meeting, but not where. It seems it was at the Squad thirteen barracks..How odd. These things usually occured at Squad one's area. Regardless, he intended to show up. His jacket was slightly burned, showing the ends of it being burnt off and traces of char covering the edges. His power was surpressed back down to a novice Captain's level with not a trace of hollow reishi in his body. Those Demons were too much trouble to bother with..Considering the time, the meeting was probably already underway. He would need to explain the circumstance of what occured when he got there. WIth a heavy sigh, he used a shunpo to vanish, leaving a trail of wind in his previous position where he stoood. Though, rather than going directly to Squad thirteen, he stopped by his own barracks at Squad nine.

Zoran Zazaravitch casually walked inside, any injury he had taken during the fight healed by his natural affinity in cell repair. Walking in, he greeted any of his squad that was up and about with a brief smile and the wave of his hand. Arriving back at his own quarters, the taicho of squad nine slided the door open, taking a few steps inside, then closing it behind him,. The bandages around his left-arm had been damage, causing the blood to drip from them and his arm to go under some slight pain. Unwrapping the cloth, Zoran Zazaravitch set it next to his body with the same bloodied cloth he had left there earlier. Though, it was all dry now. WIth his mahogany chester drawer already opened, he pulled out anither set of cloth bandages, setting it across his deformed arm and covering it from the shoulder to each finger tip in the white material. As before, blood soaked into it quicklyl,giving the white material a red colour in seconds..He truely hated this injury, but he had been cursed with it by his own powers. It was unfortunate, but there was nothing that could be done.

Zoran Zazazaravitch walked back outside, vanishing just as quickly as before to quickly manuver over toward the squad thirteen barracks,. In no time, he was at the gate. He could sense the spiritual power of several other captains inside as he slowly walked toward the room they had all been gathered in. Finally getting inside, he parted his lips, speaking out in his casually fatigued and laid-back tone as his eyes scavengered the room, looking around at each individual inside. He hadn't met any of them yetaside from casual passing from time-to-time, though, it wasn't exactly the best time for introductions with the events that had transpired as of late. " Aye, sorry if I'm late. There was an issue in the living world with some Demons. Really annoying creatures they are. Roughly both of them on par with Captains. I managed to beat one of them, but the second retreated and took the defeated one with it. Was a shame...Put forth all that effort for them to run away." He was lying of course, but no would know that, nor did he show any signs of it. It wasn't anything new for him to lie, as he did it to get out of work quite often in his past.

That was when Zoran noticed the injured shinigami in the room. His calmed crimson irises got a slightly more serious tone to them. CLearly something had happened, though he was unaware what. He thought it best to ask and explain a bit incase any of the Captains were unaware of his recent enlisting in the thirteen quort guard squads. " Seems the kid has been damaged pretty badly. Just what exactly happened? Just getting here, I'm a bit uninformed about this whole situation, or why the meeting was even called..Oh, and I'm the new taicho of squad nine, if any of you were wondering. Name is Zoran Zazaravitch."

The 11th lt. badge flown in the air, strapped to teh wrist of the man walking towards teh captains. Zeipher was pissed, hearing about all of this betrayal of two won shinigami, one he even considered a close friend. Reiatsu bursted off his body as he pulled it back in, trying to control his anger.

'he killed..many people..For a espada?!" i say raged squeezing Cheolpa.
"How can taka do this?!!" the rage coarsing throughout my body made me shake. The captains were thinking of chasing them down looking for them. Before entering the room i look down at Min, bloodied up and cut from teh Espada. My eyes wide. "taka..he couldn't have done this.." I thought to myself.
~calm down Gust, nothing is going to be good when you are thinking the way you are now~
Chelpa's words echoed in my head. i was raged, Traiing has allowed me to finally reach bankai, and i wanted to help anyway i can.
'Even though my captain is gone, i will represent 11th division."

Minoru's focus returned as a new captain and Lt. Zeipher showed up. Both seemed angry or upset about the newest development in some form. With a groggy voice Minoru tried to speak once again, Not just many people... everyone but MYSELF and SATO!... he killed every SINGLE shinigami from our three division that had been sent with us.. Minoru's breathing came in sharp breaths once again as the whole ordeal flashed through his mind once again. As the memories flashed through his mind Minoru lost control of his reiatsu, winds suddenly blowing in the room. The winds were centered around Minoru and jade/gold in color.

With a quick punch Minoru broke through the wall beside him as he spoke inbetween labored breaths... The worst of it though... is the male espada Veloz... F***ing TOYED WITH US.. The bastard... he never once tapped into his full power... It seemed Minoru was done speaking before he roared out EVEN THE FUCKERS GRAN REY CERO'S WERE WEAK!.. before anyone could question what he meant Minoru continued in a hushed whisper..Even though he used Gran Rey... they were maybe 50% stronger than his 'normal' cero... Minoru began gasping for breath as his breathing became more labored by his speaking. With an aggressive fit of coughs another small 11" diameter pool of blood was formed. Minoru's eyes closed and his body began to sag to the side as he gave up the fight to stay conscious.

Amaya watched her lieutinent come in through the door "Minoru..."She gasped moving over to him kneeling beside him. It was hard to do any healing spells with one hand but at the moment her dominate fighting hand was out of order. she still had yet to have any feeling in it as it is. Nether the less, she also helped her lieutinent. "Minour...you done well my friend...I am proud you stood your ground..."She commented to him soon letting tazzuma finish. She went to a wall where no one was standing. She simply punched the wall, leaving a good size carter "I can't believe she is doing this... I guess she loves getting under my skin huh? The female's Name is Colbolt Nanashi....She was my sister in my past life...All these years I had been searching for her, to see if she made it safely here, but i guess she wasn't as luckly as I, I guess. I first meet her when I was trainign my shinkai, since it seems hadikazuki is changing."She commented pulling her blody hand from the wall "She attacked me, which I didnt know who she was but i knew she didnt belong here..Somehow she mangaged to get here without being detected" She commented sighing "the battle was even, she is captain level for sure on the fact that somehow she and I couldn't land a hit on eachother...well soon I found that she had a vizard guard who was tazuma's lieutinent..It seems she is more bird like with wings and such...If you run into her, do not engage her...She is mine to kill, it is the least I can do for Annamarie."She Commented

Akira listened to the report of the badly wounded lieutenant. For a while, Akira just sat back and listened to the other captains speak. As soon as Captain Amaya was finished, Akira began to speak. "So let me get this straight." said Akira. "This man, lieutenant Takami Kawamaru was spoken to, and then he suddenly had a little change of heart?" said Akira with a hint of disbelief in his voice. "That doesn't sound right." If you ask me, it sounds like the lieutenant planned this in advance and was just waiting for the right time." said Akira. "As such, I believe that we should put Lieutenant Kawamaru on Soul Society's most wanted list." he said. Then, Akira turned to address the captain of 5th Division. "Captain of 5th Division, this was your man. Because of this, I propose that you be put on the task force to look for him." said Akira. Then Akira turned his attention to a second issue. "In the unlikely event that this female Arrancar whose name you say is Colbolt Nanashi is somehow responsible for the treachery, she should be looked for too." said Akira. "Since Colbolt is the sister of the 2nd Division captain, the 2nd Division captain should be allowed to search for her." he said. "With such grave matters on our hands, I believe the rogue can be put at second priority until this is solved." finished Akira.

Cat comes running through a wall phasing though it of course. She is panting, she had the erking feeling she was a little late. She looked worried she had not been a captain long and was running late all the time. What would her folks think if they could see her now.

"I am so sorry for my late arrival, I hope i didn't miss anything to important"

She hoped this would be the fact seeing how last time she was not needed.

"oh 4th division captain over here we got a badly wounded lt. Over here wouldnt mind some help from you if you dont mind." then i get up to make room if cat comes over to help then i continue to speak. "so we got a arrencar who the 4th espada who is amaya sis, we got a lt. That a turn coat after the forth espada talked to him hmmm, it a possiblely that he planed it ahead of time but we can not rule out that he under some spell of some sort you never know what the arrencar are able to do. And the 9th division captain had to deal with two demons just by any chance was one of them wearing a red trench coat before he changed form and did he have white hair?" while i was talking and thinking my reiatsu started to effect the air close to me by charging it to the point before a lightning strike a sign that i was really thinking to any one who knows me well.

Cat rush over to the hurt girl, "Bless your heart," she says seeing her.

She has a worried look on her face, "Do we know where she is hurt." Cat was not sure if that part really mattered she could just heal her whole body, but asking where might make it seem like what she was going to do was hard. She smile, confident that she can heal this poor girl. She takes out her claws, and they glow gold. She was completely confident, she could tell that the girl was not in critical condition. She had as much time as she needed.

Hollis slowly Munches on his apple when Captain Zoran enters the room and gives his report. Captain edwards does not turn towards the new ninth squad leader but after he speaks his name the brown skinned mans' soulless empty eyes erriely shift over at him as he decides to introduce himself with his smooth and somewhat deep monotone voice.


"Hello captain zoran. My name is..."


But before Edwards can finish, he suddenly finds himself abruptly mute due to the intense deliciousness of his shiny red apple.His eyes squint, his mouth salivates and goosebumps take refuge on the back of his soft untarnished neck. The very taste of it intoxicates him as he stands perfectly still, moving only his mandibles as the other captains go on speaking. They speak with great energy and frustration over what has happened but all noise is drowned out as Hollis enters a world of complete apple induced ecstasy. He slowly enjoys the treat he always saves for himself somewhere on his person until his trance is broken by the Akira.


Captain of 5th Division



"Wha, uh.. hm?"



As Akira finishes speaking. Hollis-rubs the back of his head a bit, rolling his eyes like a spoiled teenager



"aaaaww fiddle sticks, when i said i'd hunt him down i meant. you know..eventually. I enjoy getting to do things on my own time ya see. buuut, then again, i guess i have nothing else to do"

Captain Edwards says as he shrugs his shoulders.


"But i don't think i'll be needing an entire task force for such a small job. In fact, i wouldn't even put him on the most wanted list if i were you. he's just a nobody after all, but hey.."

hollis tosses his apple up in the air and catches it, tilting his head a bit for no apparent reason.

"That's your call..im nobody important myself. but!"

Edwards unsheathes his sword and it makes a very feint hiss. He then stabs it into the ground.


"I am a man of my word ! and i swear by the honor of my blade, that takami kawamaru will be swiftly and mercilessly dealt with.."

Hollis takes another bite from his apple. He continues to eat it until he suddenly remembers what he had forgot to say just moments before. He then looks over at zoran first, followed by captain cat as he speaks through the normal smirk that encompasses his devilishly handsome face.


"I'm sorry, i almost forgot this last part, im Hollis Edwards, 5th squad captain"


Hollis proceeds to step back a bit and let the others continue their discussion as he finishes off his ruby red apple.

Zoran Zazaravitch glared at the damaged Shinigami as they seemed to be in a state of outbreak over some unfortunate recent developments. So, they were back? The Espada…Zoran hadn’t seen them since the time he lost his arm as a Vice Captain in the world of the living. It really was a horrific night, but that was buried in the past now. Things were a bit different now than before…Though, here was one odd thing about this. Who was bringing them back? Surely there had to be a center piece in this symphony of war. Someone pulling the strings. Likely the same person who caused the other shinigami to betray so dishonorably. As he wrapped his mind around this subject, he couldn’t help but overhear more data over the subject. It seems that they had relations with the Gotei thirteen quart guard squads. One of the Espada was the second squad Taicho’s relative, and everyone seemed to caught up in their own paranoia to bother retorting to his own questions. Though, things did answer themselves over time.

Fortunately, one captain had enough sense to reply. The fifth squad taicho..Though, they also seemed distracted by something. A simple apple of a basic red. Seems the man had some enjoyment for the vegetable. They also seemed much more calm than the others in the area. Well, that was good at least. People needed to stay calm under these situations. Just then, another of the Captains showed up, noted to be the captain of squad four upon their entrance. At least that could help the kid on the ground. The damage he took seemed rather substantial…Yeah, he was lucky to get out alive when fighting the Espada.. Zoran himself still had rather large scar from the day he fought the last generation of them a few centuries ago. The bandages that covered his arm kept this covered from the naked eye, as was the purpose he wore them. Seeing how the squad four captain had things covered with the injured shinigami, he decided to put some input into the scenario.

Zoran Zazaravitch parted his lips, speaking once more in a general manner, not really speaking directly toward anyone, but in a manner that anyone could reply to as they wished. “ So, the Espada are back? Haven’t seen them since my time as a Lieutenant. I’d thought they were destroyed? And what is with all these shinigami betraying the Soul Society? Surely there must be a reason for it. Clearly the new “Espada” are preparing for something. With the condition we are in right now, you know, being low on soldiers and without even a Captain Commander right now, we can’t really deal with a war…..” Pausing for a moment, he contemplated a few details, continuing after his pause in the same laid-back tone of voice as earlier. It was like he was taking this scenario casually. “ Well, we might. It all depends how powerful or intellectual these new Espada are. I know the last bunch sure as hell wasn’t an easy group to deal with. It’s probable this group is even stronger than the last. That is if they have been fully assembled. According to what I have known from the last Espada, filling up their positions isn’t exactly easy. Have over ten billion hollows in Hueco Mundo and only ten can be selected. Really would take a while. Granted, we have no idea how long they have been gathering their numbers or the such. It’s very well possible that they already have an army and a half down there. So, I suppose the issue here is this. If the Espada are back at their prime in power, are we ready to deal with them. Now, I am new to this whole captain thing, but war is something I’ve had experience in from the past situations Soul Society has been in, and we can’t afford to lose to them…Simply because I don’t think they would be too kind with Soul Society if they won and took control of it..As for these traitors, they have information on this place. They have data on the most of you and can give that data to the Espada…Not exactly a good place to be in. "Zoran Zazaravitch took another pause, considering all the factors placed into this. Perhaps it would be best to wait for the others to reply as he thought up the base of his idea. Though, he had already established the basis of his idea on the concept of fighting fire with fire, or in a sense, fight traitors with traitors.

In his current state Minoru couldn't understand how his Captain could tell him he had done well when she arrived and saw his condition. To Minoru he had failed horribly, not only had he let those under his command die, but he felt he allowed Takami defect.. Looking up at Captain Amaya as she punched the wall and spoke to the others gathered Minoru questioned her. How can you say I did well Captain?! I allowed those under my command to die at the hands of a defecting lieutenant, tell me how could I possibly have done well... The last part was said in a dull whisper as the fourth division captain showed up and began inspecting his wounds, Minoru doubted she could tell he had several serious puncture wounds under his make shift bandages.

Cat takes one look at him, she smiles, she had never really had to inspect someone before. She typically just let her butterflies do the work, but they where not needed for this. Her claws glowing very bright now gold. She has a big grin on her face, this was her favorite part. Sometimes this scared the crap out of her patients, but it was the most effective stile of healing she had. She quickly lifts her claw in the air, and as she brings it down on Veloz, she screams

"DON'T MOVE, AND DON'T WORRY MY CLAW DOESN'T CUT PEOPLE!!!!!"

She starts slashing all over her patient's body. With each cut, Veloz's body, in the place cut, glows gold. The wounds quickly seal and internal damage is fixed too in the glowing body parts. It was obvious cat had no idea where he was hurt cause his whole body was glowing. She does a twirl and she stabs her claws glowing gold into his chest. The stab wil get rid of any poisons and or toxins.
(phase blade)

Minoru watched in an almost fearful awe as the fourth squads Captain begins her odd healing method and his body began to glow gold, as she finished her unorthodox healing method Minoru found his wounds were gone for the most part. The more serious of his wounds, like the cut across his chest from takami and the puncture wounds just below his ribs on his right side had become fresh scars instead of fully healing. Minoru looked over the scarred wounds and knew they would be a memory that would cause him many troubles for a while. Looking up to the fourth squads captain Minoru spoke up, Thank you for healing me captain... His voice although sounding stronger held a tone of defeat. Now that he was healed and could concentrate somewhat better Minoru reached out his senses and drew his leaking reiatsu into himself, essentially locking it away till he'd need to release it. As he did this his jade green eyes become a combination of gold and jade, the two colors swirling with each other in each eye.

Akira listened to the conversation in the room for a bit. He noticed that the 2nd Division Lieutenant appeared to be quite upset by the treachery. The 11th Division Lieutenant seemed that way as well. After the 4th Division captain had finished healing, which was done in a strange manner, Akira spoke. "Lieutenants of 2nd and 11th Divisions." began Akira. "You seem in great distress about this treachery of the 5th Division lieutenant." he said. "Were you close with this man?" asked Akira. Next, Akira turned to the captain of 5th Division, who had just said his name was Hollis Edwards. "Captain Hollis Edwards." began Akira. "I do not believe that the traitor should be killed. Capturing him and having him tried before the Central 46 is appropriate." said Akira. "However, the traitor is a mere lieutenant." he said. "Lieutenants can be easily replaced." said Akira. Then, he began again. "The Espada..." he said. "I was still alive as a human when they last arose." Therefore I do not know much about them." said Akira. "However, I do believe that we should act swiftly to subdue the Espada before they cause any damage." finished Akira.
