She turned shocked eyes to Cross when he said he was looking for his twin sister when they had no time to discuss it further she put it on the backburner as Cross clearified who this man was. A vizard? She had heard of them though barely had the pleasure of meeting one. A shinigami with hollow powers surely seemed interesting. The polar opposite of what they were as arrancar. The man ,Masaru, didn't seem to have ill intents on hurting them, but Cross seemed very intent on not liking this man. Lifting her hands to try and stop the banter she was about to speak when they were joined by yet another presence. A Shinigami this time. Good, that's exactly what they were looking for.

This shinigami, however, didn't seem to interested in talking with them. Her shoulders slumped forward as he addressed her as "woman" and guessed her number. Sighing she straightened herself to answer him when he asked if she was ready to pay for eating a soul her brow tensed and her temper rose slightly, "Maybe I wouldn't have eaten him if you Shinigami weren't so bloody slow," she growled placing her hands on her hips but ultimately calming her temper. Their mission wasn't to fight the shinigami but to arrange a truce. With calming hands she tried to sooth the situation, "I am willing to accept any punishment the Soul Society wishes to give, however, I request an audience with the captains of the gotei 13" she told him, but her words seemed to fall on deaf ears as the two began to fight over a misunderstanding of position. Watching them with a barely amused look she sighed and looked at Cross, and the shinigami called them demonic. To her they could beat each other to a pulp it only made her job easier.

Flipping her fan shut she folded her arms over her chest waiting for them to stop fighting before they were interrupted by yet another presence, this one thankfully seeming to have some since to him. When she caught glimpse of his captain position. Thrusting her hands in the air she gasped a "Finally" waving them towards the captain and finishing with a "Someone who can actually help us" After folding her hands over her chest about to explain themselves for the third time but Cross beat her to this one and she was fine with that. If it was one thing iza hated doing it was repeating herself. When he finished she continued from where he left us.

"Excuse our rash decision for stepping on Shinigami territory by consuming a soul, but we did not think you would show up other-wise. Plus I was hungry, but like I was saying before I will pay for my actions as dubbed by soul Society, but ultimately I think I was doing you a favor by getting rid of the drunk," she hiccupped at the end of her sentence but continued, "I am Izanami Hiromi, we hold no ill-intent but to speak with your captains. After Aizens rule both sides seem to have endured great casualties so we have come to propose a truce set down by our Ancient. If you would please hear us out I am sure we can reach an agreement that benefits both sides," she stopped before she bowed at her hip, "May I ask the name of the fifth captain?" For Iza to bow meant she had surely gone into actress mode. Iza bowed to no shinigami, or man for that matter, but she needed them to be willing to listen if they expected to go any further.

Masaru more heard than saw the shinigami interfere in his and the other vizards bout, he heard the blade of the other sheath its self forcibly before Masaru felt a hand stop then grab his leg. Masaru then saw a shinigami with a Captain Haori belonging to Squad 5, before he stepped back, releasing Masaru's leg.

Masaru was about to half-heartidly explain why he was gunna rough up the other vizard, but was interrupted when the two arrancar explained that they wished for an audience with the shinigami. It appeared that for whatever reason the arrancar in Hueco Mundo wanted some sort of truce with Soul Society.

Well... since it seems you two.. Masaru looked to the two arrancar before continuing, Have some business to attend too.. perhaps I'll take my leave.. Masaru nodded respectfully to the 5th Division Captain before turning from the small group, debating what to do next.

Hollis smiles at the vizard masaru and just ignores the hard headed shinigami all together. He then turns back to the two arrancar to listen to what they have to say. As the male speaks, Hollis glares at him directly in the eyes with his own soulless ones though as he does this he takes note of the mans appearance. He seems to have a fondness for music since he has high quality headphones around his neck and from the feeling of his rieatsu he is a bit angry, or at least was a few seconds ago. what number is he? Not important. Edwards eyes then slowly shift over to the female arrancar as he keeps his normal nonchalant demeanor and smirk. She encapsulates beauty and radiates seduction. She's obviously fooled a man or two in her day and thrives on her own independence as a woman. What is her number? not important. What is important however, is based on what these two have said so far, Hollis may be having a great deal of 'fun' in the near future..With his smooth crooners voice, hollis decides to break his silence and retort to what they've said.


"A truce you say? hmhm, well pardon me for finding a bit of humor in the irony of this situation. hahah, why just a few days ago one of my fellow captains had mentioned the possibility of a war between us, hmhm, although he is the paranoid type between you and me, hm.."


Out of nowhere, hollis unsheathes his sword and points it in the direction of the two arrancar and speaks in a serious tone..


"But i'm afraid a truce is out of the question. The only thing that will come from you arriving here is bloodshed...."



Hollis allows a bit of an awkward silence to form before he smiles again and lowers his sword, tossing it randomly at his side. it just happens to stick into the ground blade first.


"hahah, im just kidding with you, come on haven't you ever heard of a joke? Anyway yes i'd be more than happy to call a few other captains over here, what you propose sounds very reasonable. and don't worry about that guy, what's a few souls here and there, its not like every soul is a good one..right?"



After izanami bows hollis slowly walks up to the arrancar as he speaks.


"Well it's nice to meet you izanami hiromi aaannd...other guy? My name is Hollis Edwards, it's a pleasure. hope you don't mind if i shake your hands, where im from its more custom than bowing. I'm an american you see, hm, maybe the only one in soul society"

Hollis extends is hand to shake the female arrancars first and then the males. Whether or not they would shake it back, he would step back a few steps and take out a shiny red apple to take a bit.


"Now please, continue so that we may reach some sort of agreement so that i may inform the other captains and let them decide if they want to meet you two fine chaps.."



Hollis says as he continues to half smile. He's already considered the possibility of foul play on the arrancars part, but he does not care. in fact, that is what he is hoping for. if these espada have some sort of plan up there sleeve that only means more fun in the future for hollis. things have been boring for too long. its about time things get a little..unpredictable..

Cross sighed, breathing in heavily as he tried to calm down. the reaitsu forming off his body once again pulled inwards towards him. his hair slowly lowerbing back down to his shoulders. he watched Iza and the captain speak, keeping quiet as he watched the discussion. He turned his eyes to Masa and the other Vizard. "you two stay..DO not leave from this discussion." he said with a growl in his voice.

He extended his hand to shake the captains' own. "I am cross Setsuzoku.." He was familiar with that style of greeting. I mean, he was American As a human, it was like second nature to him. " All we want is to speak with all the captains...thats the only reason we came here." brushing his hair back< the red "3" on his right cheek shined in the moonlight as he adjusted his headphones.

He folds his own arms, leaning up against the wall behind him as he waits for the discussion between iza and Hollis to be over. He had a bad background with Shinigami, even those of captain ranks. He knew what the reason he was here for to be civil but he was quite the opposite with Shinigamis than he was with humans. Something inside him jsut sparked everytime he sees them.

"If you could, use your bakudo to send a message to them to come here." he said pointing to Hollis. He knew of the bakudo that was possible of this.

I had come to the human world for i had a lot on my mind from the past few days. About the fact that the espada has reformed and starting to move, the fact that a close friend who i think of as a brother tazuma is becoming a vizard, the possibleiaty of me becoming a vizard no matter how small and that demons are moving as well. The human world had always calmed me and help me think before and this time it no different i had used the bakudou # 26 Kikanzou to hide from sight and to hide my reiatsu so that i would not be disturbed while i was thinking. Then i sense a group of reiatsu two of them arrencar and strong ones too maybe espada and one that was most likely hollis and two other that had the feel that i was starting to link with vizards. I shunpo over there to see what this was about and i got there to hear hollis say something about a captain one of the vizards i saw was the one that had returned to soul sociaty not too long ago the other one was not one that i had seen before but something was nagging at me saying that i should of remember him from somewhere. I drop the bakudou and so it appears that i suddenly appear out of waving light my ice blue hair looking more like ice under the moonlight and i kept my hands in front of me then i say. "i hope hollis that comment was not about me and why are two arrencar and espada to boot here can someone fill me in as to why we are talking and not doing what would of happened with the old espada?"

As Masaru was about to take of the male Arrancar felt the need to 'order' Masaru to stay, although Masaru had no idea why he complied and turned back to face the group. The arrancar once again told the Shinigami Captain that they wanted to speak with the Captains. Meanwhile Masaru was considering the reasons why they would do so, although he currently wasn't involved with Soul Society if it came to war Masaru would join them once again. For a brief moment it seemed that things were going to break out into a fight, something Masaru would try to prevent.

While Masaru was thinking over the situation he noticed another source of reiatsu not to far from them, although he could go to search it out Masaru didn't have to wait long for the source to show itself. Another shinigami suddenly appeared, probably from behind the cover of a bakudo, his hair was icy blue and I felt a small twinge of recognition as the shinigami spoke up saying, "i hope hollis that comment was not about me and why are two arrencar and espada to boot here can someone fill me in as to why we are talking and not doing what would of happened with the old espada?"

Masaru turned to face the blue haired man and spoke up, his tone serious and angered, They... Masaru waved his arm towards the espada and 5th Division Captain, Are arranging a meeting, and I'll say this now.. do not interfere if you do not want to anger me... Masaru's voice dripped with a serious commanding tone, his hand resting on his sheathed zanpakuto. Shifting his position Masaru swung his cloak behind him, revealing an assassins uniform from Squad Two as well as his black zanpakuto sheath on his back. The wind blew, catching Masaru's silver hair as the moonlight shone onto it, making it look much more silvery than normal, his silver eyes started turning a dark midnight blue as the screla began to turn silver before Masaru calmed himself with a few deep breaths. Now if theres no further interuptions I believe you shinigami and espada were planning a meeting, I personally would offer to mediate the meeting, but honestly I wish to be in as little contact with Soul Society as possible.. Masaru spoke quietly hoping things wouldn't go to bad, the less involvement he had with Soul Society the better... for now.

Izanami flared her nose a moment when he said he found the situation humorous although she hardly had a face of laughter on. She even tensed when he told them that the only thing that would come of the two's visit was bloodshed. Gripping her hand around her fan tightly she was ready for a battle if the Captain so decided to start a fight as he pulled the sword from his side. Iza growled slightly before he threw his weapon away. In response, she relaxed a little bit before tilting her head back and rolling her eyes at his "joke". He even had the gall to offer his hand in greeting after such a play. Hesitant a moment she placed her hand in his, although she shook in a more "floppy fish" handshake rather than a firm one he was probably use to. Ladies didn't shake hands.

When he stepped back to eat an apple a sigh escaped her lips happy that he was at least willing to hear them out. Finally relaxed and about to make her proposal they were joined by yet another captain. Her jaw clenched as she ground her teeth together trying hard to not snap in anger from the rudeness. If they wanted to know why they were hear at least let them speak. Although she was satisfied that a second Captain had joined them and Masaru had offered to mediate. She nodded her head to him before turning forward to begin her proposal.

"Thank you, Masaru. Our business hear is no joke although it may seem laughable. Hueco Mundo is in no condition for war. Although the old Espada has been disbanded we want to make sure no shinigami hold that sort of power over us again. We lost many fine fighters because of Aizen and we wish to keep our rule to the Arrancar. So, we fashioned an idea that we would mold ourselves a council similar to that of the Soul Society. That way we can monitor the traffic coming in and out of Hueco Mundo." she looked around the group that had gathered before offering a sigh, " We wish that all parties remain neutral until we are able to establish a system that works. If the Gotei 13 would allow it we also request a shadowing system. Meaning you would take one of us under your wing to kind of 'show us the ropes' in a way. His goal was power, our goal is unity and peace among the realms. We will offer the soul society updates of our construction and rule in return for this favor so you may monitor what we are doing. Also, if the council seems fit for it, we will allow regular visits by the shinigami when our representative returns to report to our council."

Making sure she hadn't lost anyone in her speech she folded her hands together and smiled the best she could, "I offer myself as the guided wing for this treaty to be at your swords tip until you feel comfortable with my presence. I am only ranked 6 among us, and am hardly strong enough to fight against all of the Gotei 13. However, I am strong enough to defend myself against those who find my presence unwelcomed," her eyes slitted before looking at Nakajima who had been so quick to fight them. Shrugging her shoulders she looked between the rest of the group, "I will follow Soul Society law, and learn from you to bring back to Hueco Mundo and set up a system that is functional for us. To guide new hollows to their home and teach them other ways of growing stronger rather than eating helpless souls" She held out her hands with a smile, "Face it boys, we are in a new era! It's about time we stop focusing on one another to better ourselves! I have heard of many betrayals happening in the Soul Society, so perhaps you would also benefit by this truce in the way that we can trace those practicing hollow powers better than a shinigami can. this is merely our proposal however, we wish to discuss it further with you so that we can work out something that will truly benefit both sides before being finalized."

Nakajima had just been pointing his sword at three strong people and messing with them a bit. That was when one of them snapped and came at him with a kick aimed for the ribs. Nakajima lifted up his sword and prepared to try to cut off the man's leg when suddenly a man dressed in a white Haori bearing the Kanji number 5 on the back appeared. With one hand, he forced Nakajima's blade back to its sheath. With the other, he stopped the other man's kick. "Sheesh, you guys could use a chill pill a lot. I was only messing with you." said Nakajima. That was when other captains began to arrive. It seemed that a meeting between captains and the Espada had began. Hmph. Might as well listen to what's being said. I don't have anything else better to do... thought Nakajima. He stood there listening to what the female Espada who had said her name was Izanami Hiromi was saying. With every word he heard, Nakajima's eyebrows rose higher and higher. "Hold on a second!" said Nakajima. "First of all, if you truly wished for an alliance, I'd have no problem with you in Soul Society." began Nakajima. "The only reason I attacked is that I have no tolerance for anyone eating souls." he continued. "Secondly, do you really think I'm going to buy this whole alliance thing?" asked Nakajima. "Personally, I don't trust Hollows at all." said Nakajima. "If the other captains really wanna let you in, that's on them." he said. Now, Nakajima looked around at the faces of the captains as he spoke his next words. "Don't whine to me when you wake up with a blade in your heart and you're being eaten." finished Nakajima.

"hm, well i suppose i could mr.setsuzoku.."

Hollis holds up his hand to perform the bakudo but before he can, kieran appears out of nowhere, asking why the espada are being spoken to instead of taken down. Hollis unfazed just takes another bite from his apple and speaks .


"Oh, well there ya go, i guess i won't have to use it after all. and kieran were talking because these espada are trying to make a proposal, but they keep getting interrupted, hahah."


captain edwards tilts his head a bit at iza as he smiles and listens to her continue to speak. As the female arrancar finishes speaking, hollis squints his eyes a bit as he takes another bite from his delicious shiny red apple. He prepares to talk until nakajima decides to speak out. Edwards listens to what the man says and sort of 'shews him' away playfully with his left hand.


"Now now, this is no place for a child little tyke. Don't you know it's rude to interfere with grown ups business? why don't you go play in the kids corner, hahah, lawlz..."



Hollis then speaks to iza and cross bearing his normal smirk. He's already thought about what the female has said and the very thought of her proposal makes him giddy like a school girl. He doesn't even have to make any additions to it, she's worded it perfectly. Yes, this will definitely be a fun next few months, everything is going according to...preference..


"Well, i for one am always up for something new, so you have my vote! Hm, i suppose this couldn't have come at a better time too. With the betrayal of my liutenant, i have plenty of space at my barracks. You or whomever you wish to send as a representative are more than welcome to stay with my squad er, me i guess since my squad is now empty, hahah."


Hollis says as he takes another bite from his apple, basking in its deliciousness. His snakish eyes shift over to kieran to see how he feels on this whole situation.

"hmmm this is a outside of the box idea but really only having you as what ever you want to call it is a good idea but there the fact of how can we trust what you say. All this could be a trick or something i need something more something to prove that i should vote to give you espada to prove that you can be trusted if you dont then this maybe a short mission if you catch my drift." i say with the last part about the mission said in a icely tone of voice with a small bit of lightning crackling around me.
