Regular Old School [Event]

Amegaki · Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 6:52 am Post subject:

Gouken was still looking out the window, watching the grass grow. When the bell rang, he stood up and calmly began walking, it was time for gym. He walked to his locker, grabbing his clothes. He put his books and other things in the locker and closed it, heading for the locker room. When he reached the locker room door, he pushed the handle and opened it calmly, looking inside. He walked to his designated locker, and pulled the lock after putting in the required combinations. The lock popped open and he opened the locker, pulling his clothes off and putting his school clothes in. He put on his gym clothes and closed the locker, making a loud slamming noise. He walked outside, seeing the coach and the other students standing around the track. He guessed today he was going to do some running. He walked to Koizumi and he told him what was going on, they talked a little trash about some of the girls and then laughed at it. Some of the girls were quite pretty, while others were not as pretty, however, this wasn't Goukens main focus at the point. He was just really trying to make sure no hollows came around, he may have to reveal himself as a Quincy.

Senpai! Wait! - she shouted towards Naomi as she left the classroom, way behind the rest of the class. She would always get held up, collecting all her books and getting extracurricular homework from teachers. She didn't really mind that: everything seemed pretty easy, despite the fact she was already one year ahead of everyone else - since she was just sixteen in a class of seventeen year old's. Of course, this inevitably made her somewhat unpopular with many other students at school, but she was neither stuck up nor a nerd, so those who knew her personally couldn't help but like her, some even more than she felt comfortable about.

Luckily, however, the other girl was sleepy and walking slowly, although it worried the raven haired Yuki somewhat. Wasn't Naomi getting enough sleep at home? And if so, why? Sleeping during the day wasn't healthy, and sleeping during class defeated the purpose of going to school. Naomi-senpai! - she said again as she caught up to the older girl, - You've been sleeping in class again. It's a good idea to get some rest before gym if you need it, but don't you think you're going too far? Is something wrong that you've been so gloomy lately? Of course, coming from most, those words would be very annoying even to the calmer people, but Yuki always seemed to have an air of innocence and genuine concern about her, which was one of the reasons the otherwise nosy way she acted was taken so well by many. And even although Naomi was rather bad tempered, the two of them usually got along really well, despite how different they were.

As they reached the locker room and headed to their respective lockers at its different corners, Yuki couldn't help but get worried again. She had a reverse superiority complex: she was far more gifted at everything than most people are at their best skill and fully realized that, so she couldn't help but wonder if her friends didn't genuinely like her, but only acted nice because she was generally known as a good person and they didn't want to lose face in front of their other friends. At any and all times she was alone, these thoughts came crawling back into head, sucking onto her mood like parasites. It can't really be that way, can it? - she said to herself, trying to force them out, but to no avail. The only escape she knew from these and other depressing ideas was being around her friends, when she could simply not think about it. Naomi-senpai, do you feel good enough for this? - she suddenly asked as they met up again after getting changed, - If you've been missing out on sleep, then going to gym class may be more harmful than helpful.

But soon, the young people in the school's sports yard would have other things to worry about. No, saying that would be wrong, since it was doubtful any of them would even be aware of what will be happening. As if on schedule, as the gym teacher's whistle filled the area with noise, the sky far above tore up with a black hole, and various hideous creatures started pouring out. Because of the height of the portal, even those few around Karakura who could possibly see it couldn't tell exactly what part of town in was hanging over. However, it didn't matter as the Hollows seemed to spread out far and wide.
Their appearance was strange to say the least. The beats very rarely hunted in groups, because they would just end up fighting over their prey, and the mass of hollows above counted several dozen, which was way more than what a single shinigami appointed to this town could handle. What could be driving these creatures to suddenly appear in such numbers?

(Sorry for the short post)

Naomi sleepily walked to Gym class with her eyes closed almost all the way. Ignoring the "Naomi-senpai!" and all the nags that came at her from her younger friend. Even though it was abit bother some to be nagged all the time by someone it was nice to know that some one cared enough to nag at you.

After they made it to the locker room and got changed she met back up with Yuki as she began to talk "Naomi-senpai, do you feel good enough for this? If you've been missing out on sleep, then going to gym class may be more harmful than helpful." She sighed and responded "I don't feel up to this and i got a pounding head ache along with being tired but i can't afford to miss any classes no matter how horrible i feel" She said in a depressed tone as she slowly made her way to the rest of the class and was able to say "Here" as the teacher called out her name. After awhile of the teacher talking the class got ready to run laps. She sighed and looked around at the seemingly perfect sky while waiting for her turn to run, But little did she know of the creatures raining down from the sky. She had no clue what was about to happen

Gouken stood on the starting line, ready to race with his heat. He saw his buddy Koizumi at the side, giving him a thumbs up with one eye. As he put his hands on the ground, one leg in front of the others, he looked up at the sky, seeing the massive hole. He needed to compensate for time, seeing how mig the hole was getting and fast. He cursed himself, saying aloud, "Hey coach, if I win this, we all get a break for the rest of the day and we can go home." He was hoping the coach was agree to this, he needed to get all of these people out of here. The coach closed his eyes and nodded his head, smiling seemingly evilly. He guessed the coach didn't know about his speed. As Gouken smiled back, the couch put his whistle in his mouth, blowing it loudly. Gouken heard this, pushing off the ground with his better leg. He had gotten a good start, but he had the first lane, which meant he started in the back. He forced energy into his legs as he ran and managed to get to the middle of the curve before the person in the second lane. He was in second to last, sprinting the first curve. There was no way he was going to lose this. He got to about the 80 meter mark and stopped pushing, letting his body glide on the sprint he had given in the first 80 meters, making himself maintain the same speed along the straightaway. He was in third place, gliding along the straight away. All he could hear was the sounds of his foot steps along with the loud sound of a mass of hollows above him in the sky. His breathing was quiet to him, as if he was the only person breathing. He came to the second corner, pushing his legs again. His body began to speed up, pushing around the corner. He saw the second place person as he smoothly passed by, running at his top speed. The person in first was just ahead of him and he only had about 50 meters left before the end of the race. He pushed himself the whole time. He picked his legs up higher, pening his stride up as he ran. He managed to be neck and neck with the person in first and when it was all over, he made it to the finish-line, leaning in to try and get first. As he finished, he slowly walked to a stop, feeling the pain in his legs. He managed to limp to the grass and he looked at the coach, hoping he had won. He fell back, laying on his back, looking at the mass of hollows. he thought to himself, Damn....

I'm sorry. But even if you don't skip classes, there's no point if you sleep through them or have to push yourself, - Yuki said in response to her friend, but the older female seemed to be in a pretty foul mood, so she decided to leave her alone for now. As much as she didn't mean to bother anyone, her worrying about people was bothersome to most, if not all. Of course, it wasn't her fault, it's just that people lost - or maybe never had it at all? - the ability to genuinely care for one another, sometimes, even inside one family. It made her sad, so much that almost let her name being called out slip past her. What's worse, there was really nothing that she could do about it, nothing at all, except keep being herself every day and hope that others would learn from her example. I'm over thinking it again... but, I can't help it at all. As the gym class went on, Yuki suddenly had a bad feeling, although she couldn't understand it at all. I felt a disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were silenced, - she said quietly, trying to joke in order to alleviate the premonition she was having, but it didn't work that well. She suddenly noticed a few boys from her class, staring at her with tears flowing from underneath their glasses. Ah, Yuki-san. Smart, beautiful, great at sports and a geek. Truly, you are a goddess! Uh, right, - she replied, taking a step away from the three geeks from her class. She didn't mind them: everyone had their own hobbies and things they liked - but looking at her like that was just plain creepy.

Alright kids, quit fooling around! - said the coach, clapping his hands several times, - You had your warm up, now it's time for the real task of today: a cross-country. Of course, we'll be doing it in here, as always. Everyone starts at the same time, from the same line. Boys run three kilometers, girls two. For those of you who forgot how to count, that's seven and a half and five laps respectively. Amegaki, get in line with everyone else, that should teach you to show off on your warm up lap. The teacher waited for everyone to gather on the track before giving the command to start.
In the meantime, the hole in the sky above grew larger as more hollows kept pouring out of it. What's more, is that while at first only weak hollows were appearing, now, not only their numbers, but also their size increased gradually. After several minutes, two Menos-size hollows appeared, but they were the last ones before the black pit leading to another world closed. No, there was one more: a small figure, invisible from this range. Let's see how they handle this, - it spoke, grinning.
Ready? Set! Go! - the coach shouted, and as if by his command, the last hollows scattered, several of them heading directly for the school.

Gouken looked at him stupidly saying, "No way, I'm done with this. Koizumi, we've got business to handle." Koizumi was busy looking at the sky, trying to see what the tiny little speck was, just floating there. Gouken was too busy before to notice it, but now that he had focused on the area, he noticed it too. They both looked up, not really being able to see what it was. They looked to eachother grimly and Koizumi said, "You think it's a hollow?" Gouken looked back, he didn't know what to say, there was no way this tiny thing was a hollow, but he hadn't faced anything strong enough to control them without them devouring him whole. Also, it was so small, to think that such a small being could hold such power seemed blasphemous in itself. Gouken shrugged calmly and looked up again, noticing the large amount of hollows above. He was about to form his bow, when Koizumi stopped him, saying, "Not yet, they can see it remember?" He didn't care though, he formed his bow anyway, letting the people around him see. Koizumi buried his head in his hands and said, "Why are you so freakin' rash?" He picked his head up and looked back at the class who were all watching Gouken in awe. Koizumi looked up at the approaching hollows, all coming down at the school yard. Gouken said to Koizumi, "Get them out of here, I'll try and hold them back a while!" As he said this, the hollows all let out a massive roar, making a mess of sounds ranging from the chatter of the kids to the loud roaring.

A vein bulged in Naomi's forehead as she marched well more like stomped over to the nerds who were surrounding Yuki. She smirked closed her eyes and put her elbow on yuki's shoulder leaning against her she then began to speak. "Ah she's a geek and a goddess i see, well ill give you three five seconds to get away from her or you won't be having kids........ ever" She said opening her eyes with a look of pure doom what would strike fear into the bravest when she said 'ever' She watched as the nerds slowly began to back away. She put her hand up with all five fingers then put on down then two then three and by the time she put her forth finger down the nerd ran away with there tails between there legs. She smirked. "Why didn't you tell me you were a goddess" She said towards Yuki in a teasing tone with a cat like smile on her face. She would no doubt mock Yuki about it for a long time. Well maybe for the rest of that week

As the hollows began to pour out by the dozens a lone figure appeared from out of nowhere and just stood motionless in the middle of the running track. The wind blew gently through the boys multi-colored hair causing strands to flick out at all angles. It was obvious to all those who could see him that he’s not from that school or any other school near in Karakura town due to the lack of school uniform. As a hollow came closer to the lone figure it let out an ear piecing screech.

Grinning the figure finally broke his statue like pose and moved both of his hands towards the hilt of his katana. As his grip tightened he did one swift movement and brought the flat of his blade up to his should making contact with the hollows mouth. As the hollow applied more pressure it was slightly obvious that it was too much for the stranger to cope with as he began to slide backwards along the floor. Deciding that it was too much to handle the stranger jumped and pushed away from the hollow using to combined force to put some distance between the two of them.

“Hollow. I am Locron Hicross, Shinigami of the seventh division now remember that when I remove your head.” Raising his katana so that it was above his head the Shinigami brought it down on the now charging hollow which caused a bone crunching sound to echo around the running track. Grinning the Shinigami watched as the remains of the headless hollow evaporated into mid air.

Naomi-senpai, - Yuki said in a lamenting voice, - Why do you always have to solve your problems with violence? She turned even more depressed when her friend began teasing her based on what the geeks she scared off just said. It would probably be a while before she would leave her be about it.

Well, I guess you can be free for now, Amegaki, - the coach said with a sugar-coated smile and added, - I'll see you after classes in detention. Being done with that, the teacher finally blew into his whistle, but its sound was blown away by the "explosion" next to the race track. The whole class stopped in shock, looking at the mass of dust, but as it settled down, nothing was there, at least nothing that most of them could see.

However, the case was different for Yuki. In place of the dust cloud, there was a massive monster, probably a dozen feet tall, with a generally humanoid shape, but no neck and six arms. Its bulging head was covered by a layer of bone that seemed to replace its face. What... is that thing?! - she asked no one in particular, feeling weak in the knees. It was her first time seeing a hollow, and needless to say, it was less than a pleasant sight. In a matter of seconds, several more monsters, of different shapes and sizes, fell from the sky and landed in the school's yard. Another figure, this time of a human in black, also came out of nowhere suddenly and engaged in combat with the creatures, cutting one of them in half with seemingly little effort.

The students and the teacher were all confused, but luckily, they had enough common sense to decide and go back to the school building. However, the hollow, monsters that would usually attack any human, seemed rather docile, as if they were looking for something specific and not for a prey. Yet as a shinigami interfered, several of them switched their full attention to him. Naturally, they surrounded him, planning to attack him from all sides. As the massive six-armed hollow brought down two of its arms on him, planning to crush the weak shinigami, another hollow from the circle shot out five tendrils, planning to pierce through him. The creatures didn't seem to care for their own well-being as long as the target was destroyed. Outside Yuki's field of vision, were the two quincy boys, standing back to back in a situation similar to the shinigami's, surrounded by various hollows.

Her attention was drawn from the black-robed man as she noticed one of the creatures head towards her. It looked much like a lizard, only about three feet tall. Thinking about why she hadn't run away yet, Yuki realized she couldn't move. This has to be a dream, - she thought desperately, but couldn't force herself to either wake up or move. The lizard-hollow stopped several meters away from her and seemed to look straight into her eyes for several seconds. Then, it's neck suddenly extended as it opened a mouth that grew several times bigger, easily enough to swallow her whole. She was so scared that no sound escaped her mouth even though she wanted to scream, the only thing she managed to do was close her eyes. A brief sound she couldn't identify entered her ears, but then nothing seemed to happen for a few seconds. Are you okay? The voice belonged to a male, and as she opened her eyes, she realized it was a boy, one with bright orange hair, wearing strange black robes like the other person in the race track and holding a massive weapon that looked like a knife. Y-yeah... - she muttered, finally able to move, although all she could do was fall to her knees, feeling completely drained. You should go inside, it's not safe here, - he said shortly before jumping towards the next monster.

However, Ichigo's movement was interrupted. Another teenage boy, with messy brown hair and weird black and red robes appeared in his way. His appearance was completely unassuming, except for the strange clothes and barely noticeable small horns protruding from beneath his hair. Shinigami Daikou, Kurosaki Ichigo. You shall not interfere with us Wha- - is words were cut off as a fountain of blood splashed from a large wound across his chest. Nobody could even see the strange person move as it happened, however, the strike was obviously not meant to kill, only to incapacitate the victim. As his gaze scanned the school yard, he noticed two quincys, a weakling shinigami, several humans with potential and, finally, something he had only heard of before.

A Hogosha. Interesting, - he said. Yuki yelped and fell backwards: she was watching this guy ever since he appeared, but suddenly, instead of being at least two dozen meters away, he was kneeling right next to her, staring at her face. It seems as though the world is returning to its original state. You are the first I have seen, but you still have to undergo the awakening of your power. I wonder... - he murmured and suddenly knelt down, planting his lips on the still stunned girl's. No, it wasn't just that she was simply stunned with everything that was happening and fear: the enormous spiritual pressure of the strange person was paralyzing her as well. As his lips touched hers, she felt like they were being burned by the flames of hell while she was drinking boiling oil. It only lasted a second, but she felt like hours had passed before the pain died down. Articuno, huh... you are the absolute opposite of me, - he said, standing up over her and wiping a thin coating of ice from his face, - Well, enough fun for now. I need to return to my missi- His words were interrupted by a loud smacking noise as a large rock hit against his face. Get away from Yuki, you pervert! - some people shouted. However, the impact left absolutely no mark at all. Oh, I forgot common humans can see me, too. I'll take my leave, Yuki. In the instant he finished speaking, he seemed to disappear in a sphere of red and black energy, which also only held for an instant. Yuki felt that she regained the ability to move, so she abruptly sat up and put her hand over her mouth. She wasn't hurt at all, despite the unbearable pain she was feeling seconds ago, but there was still a strange feeling left. She didn't struggle at all as a few boys from her class carried her over to the inside of the school building. Their questions about "that weird pervert" also slipped right past her.

Gouken and Koizumi stood back to back looking at the menacing hollows. Gouken had his bow drawn and Koizumi did not. They looked at eachother over their shoulders and Koizumi said, You know what to do... Gouken smirked and said back over his own shoulder, Plan B, Lets get started... The plan was to charge as many spirit particles while the other held off as many as possible, when they got too close, then the arrow would be fired in an attempt to ward them off. Koizumi held one hand out, forcing spirit particles to gather in his hand. The area around him was beginning to have small whitish-blue specks flowing towards his hand. As Koizumi was gathering, Gouken crouched down and forced himself to make a couple arrows. He managed to knock three at a time, firing them as rapidly as possible. They wouldn't be as powerful, but spraying an enemy with arrows was all he could do when he was outnumbered about a bajillion to 2. He fired them quickly, watching them stray off at the area around them. Luckily, the massive amount of hollows allowed a strayed arrow to mistakenly hit a arm or something more important of a hollow in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gouken more and more arrows, hitting more and more hollows, however only a few were fatal, killing off maybe 2 per knock. He continued forcing arrows out, beginning to sweat. He and Koizumi stopped as they noticed the strange man come down and kiss Naomis friend, Gouken hadn't cared to learn her name and he only learned Naomis by saving her life. Gouken also saw how the orange haired kid was wounded badly, sending him to the ground bleeding. Gouken felt his heart skip a beat for a second and in that second, everything seemed to slow down. He saw Koizumi still charging an arrow, crouched on one knee looking at it as it charged. He looked over to him and saw a Hollow coming down on him with his mouth open. Gouken felt his heart beating again and fired an arrow directly at its mouth, nailing the head right on in one shot. Koizumi smiled and said, Thanks, I guess I own you one now. Gouken smiled and resumed shooting wildly at the hollows that came down upon them. Koizumi managed to continue charging the arrow, it would soon be time to release it and get away, he knew it wouldn't be enough to kill them, not in the human realm anyway.
