A lone strole, and a story begins [OPEN]

A garganta opened up above everything in the park. Clouds looked like it succumbs to something. The garganta ripped open and a spiritual pressure suddenly burst out as it opened up. The darkness of this aura was felt by living things underneath it. The aura felt was of anger, despair, and sadness. A male form appeared with his eyes as colorless as anyone could have seen. Every emotion that was with him was blocked or erased only Laurus knows it for sure but the one thing he knew is he has to find a way to make everything he believes in come true.

Laurus landed on the ground. The ground was still moist and it seems a rain or a storm has hit it. The anxiety and the excitement of Laurus going to the human world has been totally wiped out, he now just have a killing instinct with him to destroy everything he sees. Those who know him will surely say this is not what he usually is and do but because of what happened in hueco mundo, Laurus is now bent on making himself stronger. Much stronger than anyone he has ever known or knew so what just happened in his home won’t happen again. Strength is the only thing that Laurus is thinking. I will be the strongest anyone ever knew. I will be the strongest anyone ever knew. Laurus has these thought repeat themselves in his head and no other voices or thought are able to change his mind.

Laurus saw just one person walking at that time. He was not expecting to find that few people since he was aiming to kill everything or everyone he saw so he can prove that his strong and that he might be of used to the lord of hollows Aizen and Gin. Although he is somewhat power hungry right now, Laurus is broken into pieces as what he will do really isn’t him. If only someone can tell him what to do but since he was still human, to when he was a ghost, until now he was always alone. He doesn’t know what he should be doing and who he should follow and since no logical reasoning is coming into his head. His deep sorrow and pain is blicking anything to enter his mind. Laurus used his sonido to arrive closed at the person’s back. He whispered at him saying “Are you strong? If not then you should just die! Don’t make this harder than its suppose to be.” Without a warning Laurus opened his hand and with some spiritual energy put in it he stabbed the person aiming at his chest. Even when he attacked the unknown person, Laurus heard a little voice and it was shouting desperately but to no avail since Laurus has completely sealed his mind from anything. The shout although Laurus is denying it or simply rejecting it said “No! There’s always….” The shout is incomplete since Laurus isn’t paying any attention to it for him to understand.

Laurus was just standing still with all the tumult around him. He saw how the shinigamis who attacked the female arrancar was easily parried by her and was easily knocked out. He then saw that the shinigamis were still breathing. Laurus was surprised that an arrancar left a weak person or living creature alive. That’s a lie; she must have left them like that so she could eat them and become stronger. I won’t have that! No one should be stronger than me. Laurus suddenly began his move and has completely forgotten the first person he attacked. He used his sonido and used his right hand to kill the incapacitated and out cold shinigamis with every strike he made a tear appear and fall from his eyes but since he was using his sonido and was really fast it’s hard to notice them.

After getting rid of the knocked out shinigamis, Laurus felt a familiar spiritual pressure, a pressure he didn’t expect to sense especially at this time. He then saw the fourth espada coming out of nowhere. He saw him going closer to the person he first attacked and used the zanpaktou of the weak shinigami to stab that person. Laurus hasn’t quite recovered from his traumatizing experience in hueco mundo and still has despair with him but his anger towards the fourth espada is now overwhelming him. He then remembered who the female arrancar was, it was Neliel but he still doesn’t know if she was someone of Aizen’s loyal follower since she was a former espada herself. Then he saw someone he has never seen before. That person who has silver hair was helping out the injured person with long dark wavy hair. After observing what was happening around him, Laurus just stood still and wait for something to happen. While standing still and waiting for something to happen, Laurus headaches as if something was pounding it very hard. He uses his right hand to hold his head and tried to make the pounding stop but as he closes his eyes to think why it was happening a lot fo emotion again has entered his mind. It was the same event that occurred in hueco mundo. “AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Laurus shout at loud, his shout was loud and he released a spiritual pressure that was full of pain. With tears gushing out of his eyes, Laurus saw that the fourth espada has already floated up in the air and fired a cero aiming at everyone below him. A foolish silver haired person actually tried to save all of them but there was something that was so familiar with that person. It was his spiritual presence it was like a hollow and he has a masked just like a hollow although it breaks almost instantly when he tried to block the advance cero that the fourth espada fired. He saw the person he now thinks as half hollow half human dropping to the ground with heavy injury from the blast he took.

Laurus didn’t know what he was supposed to do. He was really confused on what he should be doing at that situation and who he should be attacking to show how strong he can be. Then he suddenly had an epiphany. Who am I suppose to be showing my strength? Who should I follow? What should I do? All these question suddenly was inside his head and a small voice from within him that sounded like the kid arrancar he saved in the desert of hueco mundo said “If you live then you’ll know what, who, and why but if you recklessly endanger your life then nothing will happen. Almost dying doesn’t change a thing but dying changes everything. Don’t give up and live!” With the voice talking to him, Laurus opened his eyes and find himself in a new environment. The place was all white and it was as if time has stopped for him. Gradually the faces then the person itself showed themselves at Laurus. First it was the kid that he saved in the desert then that person’s parent then the others hollow he met at that place. Laurus tears suddenly fell as he saw each of those hollows that were exterminated by his master, Aizen Sosuke. He then saw them smile at him and heard them say “It isn’t your fault pet of a shinigami but if you really want to change things then you shouldn’t stop your time. You should move, mourn then move on.” Laurus then saw them come closer to him and tap his shoulder. “Don’t just get strong for the sake of being stronger that’s not who you are. Be strong for a reason and most importantly live if not for you then for us who you think you killed.” Laurus clenched his fist as he really thinks it his fault that a lot of hollows died because of him. He then looked at them, wiped his tears up and say “Thank you and Goodbye” After he said those words his consciousness returned to where he was and that’s at the park with the situation being grim for everyone there. With no specific reason, he used his sonido and grab the injured person that was in the groun on his knees (Karkus) and then used sonido again to grab the person falling towards the ground heavily injured (Ryuumaru). He then put them at a nearby tree so they can rest and just maybe be left alone by the fourth espada. He immediately returned his focused on the fourth espada. Ulquiorra Schiffer is the fourth espada which means fighting him here means death. To make matter worst Neliel is here too, I don’t even know whose side is she on, hell I don’t even know which side I should be on but to live is my goal right now. Laurus couldn’t think of a way right now on how he can make it out alive in this kind of situation so he just stood still and waited for an opening or an opportunity.

(OOC: wow because of this rp I actually remembered hokuman, do you guys have any news about him? Did he quit or is just busy irl? Anyway hope he comes back soon)

Laurus sighed hard as he saw the fourth espada left with the third espada without doing anything catastrophic in the human world. He looked at Nel walking towards them and suddenly what Laurus has done came to him as if he saw all the emotions of everyone he stabbed and hurt then all his emotions on what he was doing. Laurus suddenly fell on his knees and was holding his head with both hands. He suddenly heard Nel speak to him and ask him what he was doing there but Laurus still hasn’t come back to the same person he was before. All the emotions that he shouldn’t have is still twirling in his head and every part of his body. He doesn’t know what to do and since his past he was always alone he doesn’t know how to talk to other people or to even help himself out. What am I doing? Get stronger, that’s right! That’s what I’m supposed to do but how? Kill? Save? Fight? Ahhhhh what am I suppose to do? Laurus repeatedly asks this question as he keeps holding his head tighter and tighter. He clearly doesn’t trust anyone since he in all his life even when he was a hollow has been always by himself.

He then heard footsteps behind him, as the injured person he saved (Ryuumaru) stood up and walks towards Nel. He heard him ask a few questions to her and to himself but all he could hear was –betray Aizen… to get stronger…- He couldn’t believe what he heard as this human with a mask that he heard Nel called a vaizard knew about Aizen and that Aizen was his master. Not only did this person knew Aizen he was actually telling Laurus to betray Aizen so he will get stronger. Laurus slowly stood up and without warning kicked Ryuumaru. He didn’t know why he would do such a thing but he just knew one thing and that is no one that weak can be giving advice to him unless he can prove him wrong. But as he hurt another living creature, Laurus became more unstable since it just adds up to his confusion.

Laurus was planning to go somewhere else just so he can think on what he should do, if he can being unstable like that, but he felt something from a far. It has the same spiritual presence of a shinigami, like those that Nel beat up and he stabbed. Laurus thought that this might be a good time to test his strength but in the other hand he doesn’t know what and how to measure true strength. With confusion all around his thought he decided just to wait for the shinigamis and just let things happen on its own. Although he was waiting for the shinigamis to come, Laurus has his guard still up since he was being surrounded by people he doesn’t know if he can trust or not.

(OOC: We should ask someone to control the shinigamis, maybe a mod or an admin so it will be fair. What do you think guys? Still want to rp fight even though three of us are still rank 1?)

Laurus saw Nel tilting her head and heard her as him a question. He couldn’t answer it since he was still unstable but he heard the question loud and clear. –What will you do? - The question repeats itself in Laurus head continuously. Laurus couldn’t think of a way to even answer the question he was given with. His confusion and emotions were getting too big for him to handle alone. With Laurus, shivering and was clenching his fist really hard a loud shout was heard by him but it wasn’t from the people that where there with him. When Laurus opened his eyes he saw only pure white environment. It was as if Laurus was engulfed by light itself. In this environment, Laurus started to calm down and be relaxed. A sound was heard in this place, it was a harmony that Laurus knew but don’t know where he heard it. Small blue orb started to appear from where Laurus was standing and images from his past started appearing in front of him, each memory looks like it’s inside a television. It showed the past where Laurus was still living as a human and the events that happened then. He saw how he was always alone and how people treat him and how they treat those people who tend to him and care for him. Though the vision he is now seeing should have anger him more, Laurus was actually calmed since he wasn’t seeing the evil in those people but the kindness of the people who helped him. Laurus then saw that nothing has change when he died and turned into a hollow. Again shinigamis and hollows a like tried to kill him but there were some hollows who helped him and actually gave their life for him to be stronger since they believe what he believe in and that is that everyone enters the dark but only someone with the resolve to move on will see the light in the end. That was the mind set of Laurus since then but since he became Aizen’s fraccion, he slowly but surely forgot about that and just do what Aizen told him. So that is why I’m so confused. I never did want to follow Aizen since I never have followed anyone except to myself. Aizen and I have different vision and goals; all he cared about was himself and his goal but what I want is not power for that, I want it so I can protect what’s important to me. That is who I am and who I am is Peracto Laurus (Peracto Laurus = Perfect Victory just an fyi). Laurus memories then moved and encircled him while the blue orb that was rising up from his feet begun to increase in numbers and encircled him too. A new hope and resolve was formed within Laurus and when he opened his eyes it was his normal eyes again. All the negative emotions he felt began to fade gradually. He looked at Nel and smiled at her. It was as if Laurus was glowing with blue crystal-like orb surrounding him. He then answered Nel’s question with a calm and gentle voice. “I’ll do what I can to achieve my goal.” Laurus then looked up at the sky and let out a heavy sigh.

I was confused and full of absurd fear because I didn’t know anything. No that’s not it, it’s not like I didn’t know anything but I forgot about it. Right now I remember and I won’t forget it anymore. Laurus said to himself then he looked straight forward since his pesquisa has sensed all the incoming shinigamis. There were a lot of them that it can engulf someone into fear but Laurus stood his ground, closed his eyes to concentrate and said out loud. “If they’re going to attack me I won’t let them cut me, If they’re going to attack those I want to protect then I won’t let them die.” He then opened his eyes looking straight ahead. His eyes full of focus and radiating a red-like aura within his eyes. Laurus has his resolve in tack and is ready for anything. While he stood there, Laurus studied the situation clearly and thinks of a way to counter the upcoming confrontation with the shinigamis who not only outnumbered them but three of those shinigamis are actually strong. I’m back. Laurus told himself while he thinks of a plan.

(OOC: Sorry for the long wait and for my short post. I'm still not back 100% so please be patient with me for a little while longer)

Laurus saw the battle begin with his own eyes. Even the not fully healed vaizard (Ryuumaru) and the barely standing vaizard (Karkus) was in the battle. Laurus a midst the commotion couldn’t think clearly on how they can fight without using much strength or actually defeating a captain. The only thing that is clear to him is every one of them should survive this battle and live to see another day. Can I really trust a former shinigami? But they seem to hate the shinigamis too… Maybe I should just let things slide for now since living here alive is important. Laurus said to himself and even though Laurus hate unsheathing his sword, he draw his sword using his right hand from his back and his left hand stretched forward and it was aiming at no one. He then quickly looked at everyone near him suggesting moving backward a little. I know that a captain won’t bother himself with weaklings like us that mean there will be an opening for Nel-sama and if I can give that opening to her then we might be able to win this battle and by that I mean survive. With his resolve intact in his mind, Laurus then uses his sonido to get up in the air and then overview the surroundings. Seeing the position where the shinigamis where, Laurus was now ready to use his incapacitating move. He swoops down exactly at the back of three shinigamis and slashing them up but not hitting any vital parts in their body. The three shinigamis fall slowly and right after they fell Laurus created a small pressure in his left hand and fires a sonic blast at the back of the captain that was there.

1. "Sonic Blast"
Sp cost: 400
Description: Laurus uses his reiatsu too create a small air pressure that shoots its opponent.target down. Its faster than a bala and as strong as a cero. 3 post recharge.

Laurus yelled at the standing still vaizard (Karkus) “Don’t just stand there bind him or at least do something; we just need to take care of ourselves. Standing there means you’re a free target.” Laurus then unleashed a spiritual pressure that will be felt by all the shinigamis. Every lower rank shinigami than him will be likely affected and those who is higher ranked than him will just take time and looked at him. Laurus was thinking that even a second of their time will make Nel’s job easier.
