Lying in bed, his eyes had long since collapsed into a world of darkness. The only light around him, not a light at all but instead the sound of machines working long past their creators work scheduale. The sounds they were making, of clanking and buzzing, began to create a very detailed picture in his mind, as he dreamed of all things scientific. The working of his machines, and the devices he had worked so hard to create. As he dreamed the long night away, his tounge rested, on the outside of his mouth, as his own snoring was just as aloud as the machines around him. The covers hung lossely over his legs, but failed to cover his scarred body. Soon the darkness around him turned to light, but his eyes closed things were still dark.

Tossing and turning, the young captain of the 12th division and head of the shinigami research institude, and head scientist ocaasionaly began to release unknown sounds, from his mouth. All around him, his subbordinates, and fellow members of the 12th division were hard at work. Their footsteps were loud, and disturbing, especially with the clasping of loose sandles, hitting a tiled floor. Thiugh his deep sleep, made him not fully aware of their presence, he knew they were there, but to him they were like the machines, more of a dream than a reallity. Smiling, one of his mahagony eyes, slowly began to open As it did, the smile upon his face was quickly knocked away, quite literally. As a small fist knocked him out of bed, and across the room. Grasping his nose, Verno let out a large scream. As his first thought was that of his machines. Lucky they were still intact. Something which caused him to sigh with happiness.

As he looked around, his nose began to bleed. The members of his divsion, all had shocked expressions on their faces, as they all slowly began to back out of the room. Leaving only their captain and the on who had just punched him. Looking up, he could see a small girl, with blonde pigtails, and a moody look. Wearing a captains haori. She was tapping her foot, her arms folded as she kicked Verno in the stomach.

"GAH Aye aye aye Hiyori-san. I was having such wonderful dreams. Why'd ya have to go an attack me like that?" Rising to his feet, he began to scratch his head. A look of confusion settled upon his face. Knowing she was ready to attack again, he moved back. Out of her reach.

"Ahhhhhhhh SHADDUP you baffoon. DON'T tell me you have forgotten" Slowly she clomped her small feet on the ground, as she almost charged toward him. making himself move back, slightly afraid, of the much more experienced and angry captain. His lips curled, making a circle as his head tilted, towards the air. Still scratching his head. He thought long and hard.

"I have no clue, what your talking about" Smiling, brightly, his eyes closed, but whe they reopened, he could see her angry look, and only gotten angrier. As again, he was hit with a clubbed fist, to the top of his head. "Ow ow ow Hiyori-San. Don't be so violent"

"GOD I swear, your just like them. Today is your meeting with the Captain- Commander. You have been assigned a very important mission, on top of your other objective"

Looking at her, he had completely forgotten, that today was the day of his meeting. With all that was going on in his life, being promoted to captain, and becoming the head of the research institute. Some things were obviously going to slip, and the most important thing had slipped. Wiping away the blood from his face, he quickly made haste, and dashed to his quarters. Their he changed into his traditional captains outfit, and grasped his sheathed zanpakuto. Using flash steps, Verno quickly made his way, to were his meeting would be held. Once he entered he was met with a shinigami, older than any other. His wrinkled hands wrested upon, and ancient, woodened cane. Long beard came halfway down his body. Slowly the eyes of captain commander Yamamoto opened. He had a look of tranquillity, and great power about him, but also seemed dissapointed at the young captains late arrival.

"CAPTAIN VERNO. Your late but now let us commence with the meeting. Take a seat and we shall begin." Moving towards Yamamoto, Verno got down to his knee's and bowed out of grand respect for the man, considered the greatest of warriors. Nervous, his breathing got heavier. As he knew he was to be giving a very important task. His nerves then became slightly at ease. As Yamamoto, handed him a small bowl, filled with herbal tea. Taking ti he took gentle sips as he awaited for the captain commander to speak.

"Dont look so nervous young captain. Now first of all, i shall remind you the objectives you were giving during our last meeting. As you know, the attack of hollws is on the rise, but it is not the hollow attacks that worry us, but all the fighting amongst those on earth, and the wars they constantly have, that is why you have been assigned the task, of creating a special task force. That will operate souley in the living world. Your team will be of your own choosing. Now onto the real reason, why your here. As you know recently one of our own......Captain Andras defected. Though as you very well know. He never was one of us, as you yourself discovered. He was actually revealed to be an arrancar, of vasto lorde origin, who managed to infiltrate us. Lucky for us he was discovered before he could cause any harm, but before being captured, he killed members of the special forces and esaped to the living world. Their he had briefly settled in a small village known as cada which lies just outside the amazon rain forest. There the spirit power is high, attracting many hollows to attack, not just that vilage but nearby villages as well.

Suddenly Yamamato took  along pause. He was allowing Verno to grasp what he had just said, allowing him to take it all in before he would again continue to speak. He could already tell what his task was going to be, but that didn;t make it any easier. Graspng his chest, he attempted to settle his nerves.

"Now. Andras has moved back to his home of hueco mundo, were he has already created two arrancar. One has settled in Tokoyo, and the other in London. Your mission is this. In cada a girl, has been discovered fighting the hollows. Her skill and power is great, for a being of her origin, but the hollws are growing in number. Save her, i believe she can be a great help to you, and to soul society. Once you have done that, you must stop the two arrancar, before heading to hueco mundo"

Suddenly Yamamoto rised to his feet, as he did so did Verno. The captain commander handed him a device. It was a light blue, and glowed with the same luminous energy.

"This device will allow you to do this. You must stop him at any cost. This one time, you will be allowed to use any means neccassary to stop him. Now captain Verno go, and good luck"

"SIR, but can i ask. Why me? And why not send other captains?" He knew talking back, after the mission assignment was sightly disrepectful, but he needed answers. This was not a missinon that would generally be assigned to just one shinigami. It was, almost as if soul society was scared. And why not. The last time they had faced such an opponent. They had many cassualties, and suffered many deaths.

"Your intelect, and planning ranks amongst the highest. We have ever had. Myself and others believe you have the skills to complete such a mission. Soul Society and the goeti 13 is still recovering from our last battle, that is why we aren't risking the lives of the other captains. Now the meeting is over. GO"

"Yes sir" Turning around. Verno slid open the doors and left the room. Putting his sandles back on, he headed outside, were he looked up to the blistering sun. He began to walk, ready to head to the world of the living, but first a plan was needed, and it had to be one that was perfect. Though he did not believe in such a thing. This was a mission that quite simply scared him, but he knew a girl was down there. Who could help him greatly.

The air remained taught and humid, the rain forest like heat and temperament reaming true to its name. Rays of sunlight, filtered through the cracks and crevices unreached by trees and plants. In the forest , one could be amazed with how much life surrounded them. From the plants, to the birds, to the complex animals every sound and movement served a purpose. A sense of strength can be achieved once a person truly realizes that all around them is life. The sound of a heavy and long cry could be heard through the forest, the sound of pure strength and energy.


Moving with elite quickness, jumped high in the air grabbing the incoming spear aimed at her and coming back down to the ground with a solid thump. Her long dark hair laid in a wild and tangled array and her face and body was smeared with the dirt in places she'd fallen onto the unforgiving earth. Using the spear, she ramed it into the mans stomach, turning around completely so she faced his back and brought her hand up hitting him in three exact places on the neck. In a fast instance, the man fell down onto the ground motionless and quiet. She sighed with relief , but stayed alert as she instead of resting ran through the tangled rainforest until she reached the edge and the beginning of a river. Quickly, she jumped in so that way when the man awoke her scent would not be able to pick up past this river.


With covert speed, she made it back onto land only this time climbing up a tree to see her position. Quickly she found, it she needed to go north, immediately she set out making it back to camp in about 3 hours, just enough time before the man awoke. Once arrived she instantly , bolted the door so that way the entrance would not be disturbed. Lately , so much had changed. Andars, her esteemed love in life had changed her life. He as once a high ranking captain , ended up turning. Turns out that on the inside, he himself was someone deep and dark and bad, an arrancar. When he completely changed , so did his feelings and affection as did her's. Instantly, they split taking their different ways. Prima had known him for quite a while, and it was not the first time that he had taken a turn for the more evil ways, but quite frankly they both just wern't going in the same direction at this moment. The last she had heard he had moved to Hueco Mundo but that was it, she didnt know of his doings or his goals, and quite frankly made a point not to.


Prima stayed in Cada, loving the peacefulness and the remoteness of the area. But, suddenly as she was taking a stroll through the dense and lush rain forest, she was ambushed by what she could only identify as an arrancar. Immediately, prima began a vicious battle in which after a long and grueling struggle she won, killing him. She did not see another one for about a month or two , but surely enough another one came. Eventually she started to run into them more and more often. She didnt know what was going on. But it seemed that with each one sent to her they got smarter and smarter and strong and stronger as if they knew her next move. Today she was lucky, only this morning she had killed an arrancar and took all she had, but right after another came. There was no way in the world she could defeat another one right off the back. So she was forced to put him in a temporary coma, to give her time to run away and think. A couple of weeks ago she, sent out a small note explaining the situation to andras's old team in which he worked for. She knew they where well versed in this type of thing, but she had never stressed the point in the note. Now she wonders if maybe she should try and contact them again, this arrancar problem is obviously something big and she can't hold them off anymore.
