Back in forest land, Osamu decided it was time to venture out, as he could sense Kokoro's Reiatsu outside of his plane of space. Taking a deep breath, he stepped outside of his Bankai. Osamu would appear beside Kokoro, the scattered spirit particles coming together to form his body. After seeing Akane's broken body, he set to work without another word. Assessing each of her injuries, he began working using Kaido and a first aid kit he always kept on him. His skill was enough to almost immediately stabilize her condition, and he spoke to Kokoro regarding it. "She'll be fine, I've stemmed the bloodflow using a few tricks I've got up my sleeve, but I'd rather work in the ward back in my own plane. You do whatever you have to here, it won't break through even if you blow this place to hell."

Osamu gingerly picked up the smaller Shinigami, still not looking at Kokoro, and stepped through some crack in space back into Tetchu Matsubayashi. A fragmented voice echoed near the captain, not addressing him formally, but still carrying some respect. "Mix my Reiatsu in the area with the Reiatsu you use to form a Senkaimon, you'll end up where we are. Now do me a favor and give this thing my regards."

Once back in his Bankai, Osamu set to work on further healing Akane's injuries, and preparing some type of fruit for her to eat. For him, there was nothing but his patient and his hands.

Akane was less than delicately hefted off the blades, fast enough that the creature was unable to cause further harm. Unfortunately, the blood loss would be immediate, and it seemed that the creature had aimed to peirce a number of the main arteries. This caused the young shinigami to pass out almost immediately, making it far easier for Osamu to work to stem the bleeding and stabalize her back in his own realm. Her normal spiritual pressure was faded, almost unnoticable now. Even her usually invisible blade had reverted to its base form. For now it seemed she was safe as could be, all things considered.

The creature didn't seem particularly phased by this, if anything this new shinigami was of far more concern. "Kokoro Nashi, how interesting. Whoever would have thought such a storied Captain would grace us with his presence" It chimed in, though its information seemed to be somewhat out of date, it was certain to be troubling that it knew him by name.

It seemed to be weighing its options, the darkness it seemed to control moved back to condense around the creatures legs as a number of bladed tendrils floated through the air, like a cobra ready to strike. "A shame, this was a wonderful hunting ground" It held out a single hand to allow an enormous amount of energy to coalesce into a single point "But we think you'd prefer to keep it mostly in one piece. So perhaps you should take your underlings, and go" It seemed the hollow didn't want to fight, but was ready with the nuclear option on the unsuspecting city of Paris should Kokoro act.

So Akane was safe, that was neat. Or at least he hoped she was, her Reiatsu signature wasn't exactly blossoming at the present time.. huh.

Boy lets hope she was safe..

More importantly was the fact that this giant shadow monster thing seemed to know Kokoro, vaguely remembering him from a past encounter or something of that description or perhaps it just had prior information?.. It was all pretty irritating to be honest and Kokoro was pretty much ready to just get this whole fight over with, even as the blender like tendrils of the beast floated through the air but then it dawned on him.. The beast was basically holding this entire city hostage, and Kokoro's only real option was to let it go..

A frown appeared across Kokoro's face as he pointed towards an exit route. "Leave here and don't come back and I won't push this matter further. You have five seconds to be sure I don't regret that decision, and this isn't up for debate. Leave. Now."

The creatures smile widened at the reaction, as much as it would have preferred to stay, this was not a battle that it would be able to get out of unscathed. Unlike some of its lesser brethren, it seemed to be rather intelligent. "You have our word" It would hold its hand out regardless as one of the blades slashed through the air behind it, tearing between the fabric of reality to open a rift between worlds. "We will meet again, Kokoro Nashi" It seemed to glide backwards, smoothly moving out to close the rift behind it. The oppressive spiritual pressure dissipated almost instantly, and it seemed that danger had been avoided for now. This creature was undocumented as far as Kokoro might know, though if he looked through the archives he might be able to pick up some of its exploits. Something to worry about later of course, for now, he had a severely injured third seat and her companion to retrieve.

Well the being seemed to think they'd meet again someday which seemed unlikely. Sure, Legion appeared to be a more than competent Hollow with some odd quirks but ultimately the world was vast and the amount of hidden monster Hollows was probably larger than Kokoro wanted to trouble himself with. He let out a small sigh, keeping an eye on the monster till it faded from his sight and once it did he sheathed his Zanpakuto and turned heel, hoping to return to his currently injured third seat and Osamu whom was accompanying her for whatever reason. A small frown parted his lips as he began to leave the catacombs, and he made a mental note to look into Hollows in this area later on in the day. Perhaps this was someone of note, and perhaps these two really shouldn't have been here..

As he approached his third seat he frowned before looking at Osamu. "How's she doing?.."

As the Head Captain spoke, he could see Osamu working on using various Kaido to stabilize and tend to her wounds. He had found that the wounds inflicted on her limbs would leave deep scars and possibly impact her movements in the future. However, it could be circumvented if tended to properly. Weirdly enough, Osamu wouldn't comprehend that the person asking him this question was in fact the Captain Commander himself. When he responded, his tone was completely different from when he first took on the mission. It was serious, cold, and calculated.

"I was able to stabilize her for the most part. Thankfully the injuries she received were only physical so there wasn't any need to keep her like this and go back to get an antidote. There will be scar tissue, but I was also able to keep that to a minimum. Overall, she'll be at a full recovery a few minutes after she wakes up. Some fruit should do the trick, go ahead and eat one if you took any injuries. Should fix you right up." The Shinigami would point out the branches above him, showing his counterpart the fruits sprouting from several branches.
