[Keyblade_King]

Citoriel was standing in the middle of Alyxea and Genakex, for him and a 'keyblader' staying in one spot was torture, but, Citoriel had been less keen and intentional of his way with any 'keybladers', and did not intention on fighting any, what was more or less of him was what the 'keybladers' were, were they more trouble for him than his other comrades, or less of it.

Citoriel was soon pondering of what he had heard of what the Commander-General had said, until he heard Alyxea's question and/or comment, "Tch..."Anything out of the ordinary at all..." she says...for me, I've do not know such a thing as to 'why' they disappear on us..." Citoriel put in, as he crossed his arms and had his eyes closed for a moment. Citoriel then re-opened them at half-way "As to the search of how they're not being found," Citoriel continued, then looked at the barred window as he saw four or five doves fly pass-by "I can not say...but all I do know is, they aren't giving 'em back without a fight." Citoriel vaguely said.

Citoriel soon walked over to the barred window as he stood there, facing his back to the others as he went back to pondering of the Commander-General's words "Is he not sure of how far our fight will go with Organization XIII? Or is he not wanting anymore losses from this war..." Citoriel then took a look at the white and kind clouds rolling by as he thought of his white wolf, which in his nature, he named his friend and animal companion, Sanoya.

OOC: -to HEARTofFire1307, yes of course we are using the real squads.

Alyxea reopened them, however, when she heard Aoshi and a few other members from squad 5 join the gathered Soul Reaper group.

"Welcome, the keyblader. . ." thought Alyxea. She had never been too keen on the idea of an alliance with the keybladers, but she had no real reason to stand against it. And when she had no real reason or motivation to do something, then Alyxea rarely would do whatever it was. Yet if she did have a real reason or motivation, and it's something offensive against an enemy, may that enemy beware of her wrath.

"Yes," she said in her mysterious and melodic, yet strong and calm, voice. "I suggest we do get started." "And what to start with. . " thought Alyxea as she paused for a moment and closed her eyes. "Why don't we begin with reviewing our problem and suggesting any possible reasons for the lack of souls in the area? I would suggest that Aoshi begin."

Alyxea reopened her eyes and turned to Aoshi, saying, "Aoshi, tell me, has there been any mysterious activity going on in the area that you are aware of?" she asked. "Anything out of the ordinary at all. . ." she waited for his reply, or anyone else's comments.

"Anything out of the ordinary eh?" ,asked Aoshi as he pondered about it. "Well I can't really say, but I'll elaborate what I've found so far. When I meant by cleaning up a few loose ends, I actually meant that I and some of the 5 Division squad members were scouting the area already, mainly the far outskirts of the area. There hasn't been much that can verify the whereabouts of the dead souls or cause of the lack of them. But there is something I could show."

He immediately took something from his pocket and showed it to Alyxea and the other Soul Reapers. On his hand is hollow mask, or rather it looked like a hollow mask. Mainly by the markings on the hollow were rather different.

He stated, "We encountered a hollow on the way half an hour ago. It wasn't much of a troublemaker so we took it out easily. However there are a few strange things about the slain hollow. First of all, this hollow had the unique ability to mutate his body, similar to that of a Nobody."

He then pointed to the forehead of the mask. On the forehead was the symbol. "The symbol on its head is the symbol of Organization XIII. After we fought the hollow, we tried investigating further in the outskirts, but couldn't find anything so we'll be helping you search the designated area. With that said, I can't really say about the lack of dead souls, but I can say that whatever is going on, it has something to do with the Organization."

OOC: Wasn't really sure if a hollow's mask would remain intact after a hollow's dead so bear with me a bit okay?

[BionicleKeyblade]

OOC: HEARTofFIRE, we are using the normal Squads. Other than that, approved!

IC: (Kazer)

Kazer smiled and replied, "I was going to ask if 'surrounding area' included that town several miles south."
"Why?" Kirux asked with a confused look on his face.
"I wanted to stop in town and see if any of those stores had the new book I've been looking for."
Kirux smiled and replied, "Technically, that could be considered intelligent."
"True, but I'm sure that by 'intelligent' he meant 'relating to the mission', so I shut up." Kazer turned to corner and pushed open the door, and then made a quick survey of the path...and the new lake. "Wow...didn't think the ice would leave that much water behind."

IC: (Genakex)

Genakex gazed at the mask with interest. "I see...but what would the Organization want with Hollows? And how were they able to synthesize this Hollow-Nobody hybrid?"

[Arcanum Noir]

"The top-six members of Organization XIII happen to be nobodies of the apprentices of Ansem the Wise, who were well-known scientists." ,said Aoshi. "Led by the Seeker of Darkness, Xehanort, they performed various experiments based on the hearts. Eventually they became heartlesses and their nobodies came into existance."

The reason why he explained the history of the Nobodies' somebodies was that he need to show them the nature of origin that the Nobodies share. When a person of strong heart and will becomes a Heartless, it leaves a mere shell, a nobody. Through that, a Nobody shares the same appearance, personality, and other attributes as their somebody. They are similar, yet different, a Nobody is incomplete.

"No doubt about it, this Hollow-Nobody Hybrid was a result of their experiments. Sorta reminds me of Urahara and Captain Kuroutschi." ,said the keyblade knight. "And about what the Organization wants with the Hollows is currently unknown, but no doubt it has something to do with achieving their ultimate goal..."

[HEARTofFIRE1307]

A young man walked down the hall towards, them as they continue to talk. They stop and realize he has joined their circle.

Yusuke- "I've been told to inform you that they have a sighting of a large group of Hollow-Nobodies to the east of here. They said that I'm to accompany you and go neutralize this concentration of "Hollowbodies" as it could become a serious threat."

[Keyblade_King]

Citoriel turned back around to the group of Soul Reapers and keyblader or bladers, "A Hollow...and a Nobody...a concentration of both, with the question here is why would Nobodies and Hollows fuse and mutate, actually, let me rephrase that, how and why, for how did the Organization XIII get Hollows, and why should they use them...is beyond me, but, we still have no reason just to stand aound and gawk all day." Citoriel finished as he walked over to the wooden door and opened it, to see a newly found lake on the other side.

"Strange, a lake here, and it's been sunny all day, or was it from the ice slide that that 'keyblader' made from?" he wondered.

[BionicleKeyblade]

IC:

Kazer and Kirux walked around the lake to meet up with the Soul Reapers and Quincy, where they learned of the outbreak.
"Spam," Kazer muttered. "Guess we should take care of that. Let's get moving."

[Princess Kairi]

~ Kirux ~

Kirux turn to Kazer and nooded before heading over. "Kazer, I have a real bad feeling about this. I want to help out but...as a nobody, I might be forced tp do something stupid or something else will go worng. I hate being different. But I also hate doing noting even more. Kazer, as a friend, what should I do?"

~ Ariake ~
"Great. theres a crowd. This Organization-Hollow team is getting very complex. As far as I'm concerned, before they teamed up, they both still had one thing in common. The collection of hearts and souls. That right there is two out of the three main components of human. All they need is the body but it seems to me that the organization-hollows deem flesh and blood to be useless. So what are they going to make wiht hearts and souls?" I looked around the room for any ideas.

ooc: take care of them BionicleKeyblade!!

[Lycian Wolfe]

Alyxea listened intently to the conversation that was merging, and looked at the mask with half-opened eyes, filled with both interest and flickering shadows. "That's very interesting, to say the least," said Alyxea in her voice that was quiet, yet somehow loud and strong, so much so that it almost pierced through the foggy silence. "But Citoriel is right," she continued. "If they're a nuisance, and we're able to destroy them, I suggest we do so or do something else about it. I personally prefer just destroying them myself, but that's just me. . ."

Alyxea walked over to Citoriel and looked at the newly-formed lake outside of the doors. "Well, that's just damned great. . ." thought Alyxea, and she closed her eyes for a moment.

"We are able to destroy them, are we not?" she asked the group as a whole. "Are they destroyed the same as a Hollow, or a 'Nobody'?" she waited for anyone's response in impatient yet calm silence.

[HEARTofFIRE1307]

"Yes," stated Yusuke "they are killable but, these new "Hollowbodies" are very strong, posessing the srtrength of both Hollows and Nobodies. The only flaw in this creation," Yusuke continued, "is that you do not need a keyblade to kill them, It must only be a magical/spiritual weapon. But enough of the briefing we must move quickly if we are to catch this advancing "Hollowbody" party."

[Lycian Wolfe]

Alyxea nodded, eyes almost blazing while the rest of her remained calm. "All right," she said. "Just tell me where their numbers are the greatest and I'll head there now." Alyxea pulled out her chain and swung it around in a circle for a moment, waiting for anyone's response. Her eyes were almost venemous, but had a eeiry (sp) feel and look to them.

[Arcanum Noir]

"Do not need a keyblade eh?" ,asked Aoshi towards Yusuke in a small whisper that only Yusuke can hear, with a rather annoyed expression. "Well excuse me, for such a concept is that there is no specific weapon needed to kill a Hollow-Nobody hybrid. The mask I showed was proof that we confronted a hybrid, I happened to destroy it with my keyblade. So unless if I misinterpreted, you think that only those who wield a Zanpakuto can destroy a hybrid."

He wasn't sure if Yusuke's saying meant one thing or the other, but his tone had already gotten him irked. Though he was accepting of Shinigami allying with Keybladers, he wasn't very sure if some of the Soul Reapers felt the same. Though both of them share the same goals, they possess different aspects. Keybladers wield Keyblades, Soul Reapers wield Zanpakuto, Keybladers utalize Western-Magic while Soul Reapers utaliaze Kido magic.

[HEARTofFIRE1307]

"No, I didn't mean it like that. Both those who wield keyblade and zanpakuto can kill these hybrids. I was merely stating that neither of us are at a disadvantage. Although we can both destroy the hybrids, it does not mean we can't work together. To defeat this rising threat we need both of are kinds. Listen i know we have are differences but, we must put them a side. We have one goal, one dream, and for us to not accomplish this...is..is..madness! I have no hard feeling against you. And if you can think of me as an ally, then I to can think of you as one..."

[Arcanum Noir]

Aoshi nodded in understandment and whispered to Yusuke, "I see, forgive my rudeness. It's just that there are many Soul Reapers who aren't fond of Keybladers so even though I accept all Soul Reapers, I'm still on edge. Don't worry, I'll always consider you as allies."

He then breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the pact between them isn decently strong, there are many Keybladers and Soul Reapers who want to work side by side to help solve problems. In fact, he hoped that the pact would remain permanent after the war is over.

[HEARTofFIRE1307]

"Yes, I understand where you come form, even some members in my own squad that don't feel the same respect towards keybladers that I do. Rest assured, I will be by your side in battle, I won't let my allies fall. And we can only hope that this pact will stay active even after the war...or atleast let's hope that are factions don't turn on eachother after the war. Speaking of which I know exactly what can loosen you up a bit, some Hollow-Nobody slaying!
