The presence of the hollow registered on Ananda’s senses immediately. The presence of evil, of ill intent. He allowed Akachi to finish his sentence as he slowly set his cup down upon the table. They would have to finish their conversation and their te later.
Ananda stood, grabbing his staff. He had not seen a hollow in this forest for some time. Especially not this close to his hut.
He hated the idea of fighting, but if this hollow wasn’t stopped, it would wreak havoc in a more-populated area. Ananda’s eyes met Akachi’s.
”Do you sense that? It seems we have work to do.”
Without another word, Ananda walked across his hut and out the single door. He did not look back to see if Akachi was following him.

I Can Hear The Whispers In My Sleep, The Voices Telling Me This Should Be Mine, You Claim You Trust Me, You Think I Don't See The Doubt Behind Your Eyes.
Asami and her faithful jester of a joker, appear into the dark forest of Karakura Town. The leaves causing wind to brush up against Asami's pale and undeath skin, so snowy. Her every step and touch seem to bless her fellow companion, Salem, a young man as he appears, wearing a masquerade mask. Usually keeps his eyes concealed unless he takes them off to demonstrate his glamourous looks and his smooth tongue. Time to time, they take walks like this, silence, no sudden sound. The sound of peace was the perfect decoration of their bond, so peaceful and joyful just being in each other's presence alone. The fanciness of Salem, could almost convince people he came from the 18th century, a time of old castles with old kings and queens. Ruling with nothing but true might, though this often leads to misconceptions and even cause rumors that Salem and Asami are a bunch of pilgrims who didn't know the times. Though this never stopped them from traveling around Earth and follow every law down for the Bounts and try to pass these laws to others as well as a singular piece of advice and survival tactic.
Salem quickly though on his feet, training to become stealthy and retain strong senses, stopped Asami in her tracks like a body guard. He sensed a few people near by but even worse, a hollow, but it was a lot stronger then them. The forest seem to waver in that direction, a direction that could lead to death, one or the other going insane after the loss and die. They don't say any words but only their thoughts guided them in caution, to the very beings deeper in the forest. One is a yellow hooded man, a mask is worn on his face, no words could be made out as they observe from where they are. Yet in Asami's mind, she knows as of right now, they are working towards a stronger bond, one that can grant them new powers and as well becoming stronger as Mistress and Butler. Though Asami pointed out the other man, a man in tattered clothes, like he had seen war and is a veteran of combat, extreme power is coming off of him. No doubt both of them are much stronger then her, but before she can make a step to the battlefield, Salem hurried quickly in front of her. Its clear Salem is being very cautionous but knows they must engage the hollow. Salem with Asami a few inches back following him the way down, Salem goes up to the young gentlemen hoping to strike a inquiry for his young lady.
"You two, May me and my lady join you in this conflict, we see a scorpion hollow is near by. Assistance with the scorpion will be much appreciated as we wish to take part in the battle against these scum." With Salem addressing the request in a fancy and kind tone as he knows he has the soft side of his lady within him considering he is her doll. Asami comes up by Salem's right hand side, tapping him on the shoulder as she would soon speak her words as well "As my faithful servant has mentioned, we are traveling through this area and this hollow has interrupted our walk. We can't ignore a dangerous opponent and be a bunch of lackeys leaving you to this enemy when we could assist you." Asami even bows before the two men as she would glare at Salem as he would do the same as well. Both wait very patiently on what the gentlemen in the zone might need in this fight.

Reiatsu 250 | Speed 50 | Strength 70 (80) | Defense 30 | Stamina 30 | Intelligence 50 (60) | Spiritual Power 20 Akachi follows Ananda out of the hut, untying the peace knot with three pulls on it once he was outside the hut. He grins when he sees the hollow, sensing what might be a good fight. He draws Ketsueki Ken and grips it in both hands. Before he can charge in, two more people show up. A bount, who babbled on about assistance and such, and a Shinigami, who chants something and casts what must be kido at it. Akachi, instead of speaking, just quietly gets to work. First, he marks the hollow in his mind as a target, the focus of his aggression. He then shifts his stance, adopting a fire based stance that allows for increased aggression while leaving himself wide open. He then flips the switch in his mind that shifts him into assassin mode, shutting everything out but the coming fight and death of his chosen target. With that, he launches himself forwards into a sprint. The first strike he unleashes is aimed at the hollow’s head, seeking to cause massive damage to its strange red gemlike head. He then flips his blade around, turning that strike into a second one that he throws everything into, seeking to slice the hollow completely in half. He then jumps back a couple of steps, now taking the time to look over the whole thing and notice it appeared to be a strange scorpion made of gems.

Harbinger - Crystal Scorpion
The crystal scorpion made a series of clicking noises as it surveyed the battlefield, looking for it’s prey. Four bodies. Four meals.
It rushed forward, but was stopped in it’s tracks as a series of pillars fell from the sky, pinning it to the ground.
The bindings were broken when Akachi attacked, his strikes piercing easily into the hide of the creature. It shrieked out in pain.
But this was no ordinary shriek. The sound cut through everything, so loud that it almost shook the ground, and so high-pitched that the defenders gathered there would be hard-pressed not to cover their ears.
Ananda wasn’t much of a fighter, so he allowed Akachi to do what Ananda assumed he was good at, judging from his appearance.
He had vowed not to bring harm, if he could help it, so he did not approach the creature. Instead, Ananda stood defensively in front of his home, as others began to arrive.
First, a bount showed up. Ananda did not have much experience with the bounto race, but he knew them to be some manner of spiritual vampire. There were karmic effects to their life, just as anyone else. He did not concern himself with the implications of this now. These bounto seemed friendly enough, and willing to help.
Next, a Shinigami came, immediately springing to action with one of their spells. The spell seemed effective for a moment, but was broken by a savage series of attacks from Akachi. Ananda had few dealings with the Shinigami, as well. But all-in-all he figured their purpose and his lined up to a degree. The more souls that were purified, the better.
The hollow took the attacks fully, and shrieked, causing ananda to cover his ears.

Hikage had been roaming the forest for sometime now. Avoiding all contact with others while he thought somethings through. At one point he had decided to leave the soul society for awhile. He had tried to reconnect with his old clan but they had mostly shunned him. Remembering the betrayal by the rest of his family. Hikage shook his head to clear it. He continues to walk until he sensed the presence of a hollow. He grinned and doubled his pace hoping to get some of the action. He was almost there when the hollow roared. He drew his zanpakuto and lunged out of the trees from behind the hollow and attempts to sever the scorpions tail from it's body. He then leaps back to prepare his next attack and to get out of the way of the others attacks.

Before she could act according as well as Salem act together with her, the hollow seemed to screech out releasing a very powerful ability to cause her to cover her ears as well as Salem doing the same. Salem with him having a bond with Lady Hana, he gives a thought message to her"Why do this thing need to be so loud?" Lady Hana responds back in thought "Well with this, we can't move, i can't focus with that roaring but Salem, keep your eyes on it, we need to be ready to move." Salem with his eyes not looking at her nods as he would keep his hands over his ears so very covered. Lady Hana is busy tactically thinking on how they can help the group despite how strong the other two area but watching the young man, stronger by the sight, is handling that scorpion one on one.
Salem is observing the man himself, his ability to take on a strong hollow all by himself is outstanding, though in some ways he would prefer to keep his highness close. With the enemy this strong and the man able to handle the hollow, no reason to get up in frontline position but from a support position. Though he is in same thought as Lady Hana, they can't just walk away and not aid where they could.

"Well if this isn't just an awfully loud fellow isn't it to top things off." A voice sounded out among the group if they could even hear it as a rather strange man sharply dressed, but possessing off strange technological parts incorporated not only into his clothing, but body as well. "Though by the looks of things you youngsters seem to have a handle of the situation, to think I came wandering all this way for nothing." He mused an amused expression on his face as his lips curled into a smile beneath his full well trimmed beard. Despite the fact there was an active fight going on the man just strode right on through the middle of it coming within arms reach of the hollow without even flinching as he just continued on his way not worried in the slightest of being caught up in the melee.
He came to a stop beside Anada tapping a cane he held in his hand softly against the wall of the man's hut yes that was the appropriate word for it. "Ah I see I have found another spectator of the fine sport of hollow slaying." He flashes the man a grin wise enough to tell that whatever had caused them to cover their ears in pain was more then likely fading. "Well." He hooks his cane up into the crux of his arm as he offers an open hand. "The name is Percival, Percival De Jager always a pleasure to meet new souls fighting the good fight, and all that."
Harmless Wanderer: As long as Percival does not make an attack action, or force a comparison he cannot be attacked, damage, or put under the effect of a comparison ability unless he willingly fails the comparison.

Hype quickly covers her ears at the horrible sounds emanating from the beast. A curse in a European language escapes her lips in a hiss. The damned thing wrecked her concentration. She begins again, narrowing her eyes with agitation. The red irises of her eyes glow slightly. She makes her best efforts to regather her thoughts. "Fricking damn bug." The sounds of its cries still ringing in her head. "I HATE BUGS!" she yells as she grips her hand around the hilt of her sword. Very few things in this world can make her lose her cool like this.

As it shrieks out in pain, Akachi grabs his scarf with one hand and pulls it up around his ears to muffle the sound some. The piercing sound still causes him to reel slightly, though he continues to take note of what is going on around him while he does so. It appears everyone else present is affected the same way. However, during this time, a second Shinigami appears and attacks it with their blade, while a human shows up and makes no movement to help attack the hollow. When the sound ends and Akachi can act clearly, he readies his blade to attack once more.

The hollow reeled, still recovering from the flurry of attacks from Akachi when more figures began to show up. The scorpion-like hollow looked around frantically, as if in panic, screaming in pain as the shinigami blade dug into it’s crystal flesh.
Suddenly, the hollow lashed out with it’s tail in desperation.
As Ananda and the others covered their ears to protect them from the loud shriek, more figures showed up. A shinigami and another strange figure, a human. The Shinigami wasted no time slashing at the hollow, landing a solid hit.
When Ananda recovered from the loud shriek, the newcomer human was speaking to him, holding out a hand.
”The slaying of any creature is a dreadful thing. Killing damages the spirit, weakens the soul.” Of course, the “spirit” and “soul” were made-up things, created by the mind to inidividualize itself. The moral damage one took when they took life could not be ignored, though.
In any case, Ananda did not see anything he could do to protect himself or his hime, at the moment. Instead, he simply watched as Akagi and the Shinigami did their work. They would suffer for their violence, of course, one way or another.
That was not to say their violence was unwarranted. Hollows were creatures that knew only violence and killing. To leave one alive on the Earth Realm would lead to more killing.
Karma didn’t care what was “moral” or “warranted”. Killing was a sin, no matter the circumstance.
In a way, Ananda counted himself lucky to be in the company of those who cared little for the karmic debt they were accruing, or his life might have ended already.

Hikage wears a huge grin on his face as he deflects the scorpion hollows panicked attack. He had almost forgotten how much he loved to fight. Heck maybe these other guys would be willing to have a sparring match when they were finished fighting this hollow. He chuckles under his breath as he hears the other Shinigami lose her cool. He was not sure if he knew who this girl was or any of the others who were present. Hikage then lunges in again and strikes at the scorpion again aiming to cause as much damage as possible to the crystal beast.

With the ringing of the bug fading away from her ears including, Salem her doll, they both look at each other nodding like they already hatched the plan. Asami points her finger at the scorpion a silent command for a jumpy Salem as he would rush forward pulling out joker tattooed like grenades. Before he throws them, his brows furrow down as he is pulling on his full latent powers, joker masks appear behind his head like flames. Echos of them are eerie silently whispering into his ears empowering his mind as he tosses the grenades right by the scorpion's right claw directly underneath the scorpion. Instead of exploding, they are releasing some kind of gas, the gas rises up, not thick at all but almost have a odorless look as it would seem to cloak around the scorpion attempting to infect it with a laughing toxin. This is something Salem personally devised in helping him distract his enemy but also have a good chance to damage it within his next plan or allies' plan.
