"Listen...Woman! I don't care if ya are a Espada or anything! Where'd ya put it!?" Piedra demanded again, trying hard not to smile or grin. He had managed this frustrated, angry-bear, face this entire time. Who was Piedra? He was an angry Arrancar that had been looking all over for a certain individual. Who was this individual? Her name was Thea Leblanc and she was the current Quinta Espada. What was Piedra doing following this person?

Well, short story even shorter, Piedra was bored. His boss was off being a loner, as usual, so he didn't have anyone to bother at the moment. That was when, after a few rumors went flying, he heard about a certain Espada appearing that was a girl. Piedra wanted to have fun and, well, he was curious to see what kind of girl this Espada was. What better way to get to know her than to falsely accuse her of stealing from the 3rd Espada, in Veloz' name noless, and chase her down her to the forest where she happened to have been led. Led by what? Well, Piedra hadn't really focused on what that was, but he could feel it at this moment.

As Piedra was pointing at Thea, whom was in the Hollow Forest, the two of them could likely sense a very peculiar energy at it's center. There was something strange at the center. An energy unlike any Hollow or Arrancar or even Espada was surging at the center of this forest and it had only recently woken up. Here, in the forest, something powerful was aware and it had likely been the very thing that drew Thea out this far. Piedra had followed her here, having threatened and accused her to see her reaction. Really, Piedra knew she didn't do anything and he really hadn't even thought up what it was that she had 'stolen', but he made sure to demonstrate in his expression and the way he carried himself that she had committed some terrible crime against Veloz, the third Espada.

"Why ya runnin'? Ya can't get away from me forever, ya know? Why don't ya come out and show yer true colors, huh?" Piedra just wanted to talk really, or be a bother to entertain himself. Whether Thea realized this or not, she likely hadn't stopped because delaying too long would mean someone else would find the mysterious energy resonating within the shadows of the deep, dark hollow forest. Strangely, the forest was deathly quiet. A place usually chalk-full of low level Hollow was empty. There wasn't a single indicator that anything was frolicking within and, if Thea had any heightened sensory ability, one would realize that there wasn't any Hollow energy within anywhere.

"Come on! Ya scared, punk?" Aiming to provoke her, Piedra was going to turn back to the insults, accusations, and threats. What were her true colors. Piedra came all this way to find that out himself.

From the Forest Thea heard a male yelling and ranting about something she had apparently "stolen" she had really no recollection of this stolen item nor had she ever laid eyes on let alone met the Trecera Espada, she sighed and continued walking, however she did feel a certain energy in the heart of the forest it paused her for a moment because of its abnormality but then her ears twitched when she heard what was close to a challenge being issued and so her body did a full one hundred and eighty degree turn.

Thea was now facing in the direction of the arrancar and with her right foot she stepped forward and before anyone knew it she sonido'd before this male, she was now fully seen, her black and blonde locks flowing in the wind as her eyes gazed upon him cold bloodedly as if she was not even a espada, in her left eye he could see that the tattoo "5" was placed there signifying her rank.

She spoke with the same cold hearted and souless voice to match her look, "Are you looking for me?" she said as her arms came up to rest under her breasts, her silence then again overshadowing her as she watched on in silence waiting to see what he could muster for a reply.

I was hunting near the forest when i felt a surge of strange energy and the forest being without any of the usual feel of hollow activity which perk my interst. I then use a couple of sonido into the forest i then feel the reiatsu of piedra an underling of mine since i was the right hand of veloz and another arrencar a strong one but weaker then veloz. So i creeped up behind piedra with smooth wasteless movements my reiatsu sealed to the point that you have to see me before you knew i was there i was also taking in everything and nothing with my eyes above my tiger mouth mask piece that covered my mouth and nose i then say in a deadly tone of voice. "now do you two feel that energy i wounder what it is?" before i had spoken i had notice the female before piedra so that the source of the other reiatsu i felt.

The red and black robes fluttered in the wind as the figure jumped from branch to branch. He was bursting his reiatsu for a reason. He was in Menos forest. He was hungry. So why not do it? The green reiatsu dripped from his body like sweat. His white headphones were on his ears, blasting the music he loved. If it was quiet enough, you could hear the music leaking from the headphones. He slide them off slowly, laying them on his neck as he let the music continue to play. "This silence is unbearable." He spoke aloud. Trying to do anything he can to get the ringing out of his ears. Closing his eyes. He found a reiatsu he knew. One he didn't like. That of Piedra. The one who wanted his mp3 player form the human world. He took one step on a branch before using his fastest sonido to reach the area above the arrancar. Looking down, he spotted a female arrancar. One he has not met before. Piedra was obviously taunting her. Even made Cross laugh a little. He placed his hands against he mouth, cupping it so his voice would carry. "Piedra! You need to lay off, we got some unfinished business!"As the last work escaped his lips, He jumped. Landing behind The woman on his knees. His red 4 on his right cheek showed off his rank in the renacer. " So? You ready?"

"Woah-" Piedra would stumbled back, almost tripping over himself, when she Sonido'd before him. "Haha! So you did come, huh? Just like I thought. Now, why don't you just...Give back what you stole..." Piedra wasn't even looking at her eyes as she spoke. Piedra's eyes ran up from her legs, slowly tracing around them, as they moved up steadily with a bright, cocky intensity.

"Oh. What do ya know, I forgot what I was even looking for-" Piedra would say, hitting her hands before those eyes of his met hers and he grinned innocently. "My name is Piedra," He introduced himself, motioning a hand towards his heart as he spoke about himself, "I'm the strongest Espada in Hueco Mundo, you know. You should-" Piedra started, his eyes locked on those harsh, warrior orbs that were staring at Piedra as if they wanted to tear his head off.

"AGH!" Piedra screamed, quite high too, when Marcus snuck on them and, in that flat tone, said those words. Piedra spun around, and, when he saw who it was, went to punch Marcus, "Ass! Ya did that on purpose, didn't ya! Tryin' tah ruin my cool moment! Jeez!" He would say, reaching for Marcus however he could. He had to punch him for that. Piedra almost pee'd himself when Marcus did that. Piedra's heart was still racing. That wasn't funny!

As Piedra was trying to tackle and punch Marcus, he froze....That voice... He thought, knowing full well who it was. Another Espada! No! That was the worst of luck! How was he going to bother Thea now, when he had her cornered and begging for her to be his Fraccion! Didn't they all know about good timing? Jeez! They all popped up right when Thea was going to admit how amazing and ridiculously handsome Piedra was. "Heeeey, Cross. Been a while. Ya come here tah become my servant? I guess the boss could use a new puppy. Heh," He said it without anything held back, almost as if he could take Cross with one arm behind his back. Well...In Piedra's mind he could. Then again, Piedra was probably the most mentally twisted of all Hollow and saw himself as the greatest hero of all time. "One ass kicking coming right up!" Piedra exclaimed, quickly forgetting about Marcus and Thea as he slammed his right fist into his left palm.

Before either of them could actually share blows, there was a jump in the mysterious energy within the forest. It was so much so that it would almost leave a slight ringing in all their eyes, one that Cross might actually be familiar with already. Piedra paused, looking towards the center of the forest where the energy was. It took him until just now to realize that he couldn't feel much of anything else in this forest but that significant, dominating energy. It couldn't be compared to Hollow energy or even Shinigami energy. It was something that was old and dark and unique. Something unlike anything else here in the quiet Hueco Mundo forest. The high concentration of spiritual energy that made up everything in this forest paled in comparison to whatever it was that was going off within. It was almost like a bomb had just went off.

Come
The words were said directly in their heads and it was loud. It was so loud it couldn't be ignored no matter how high the music was blaring. It was pretty obvious that voice, beckoning the group, was coming from the center of the forest.

"What the..." Lowering his hands and looking over in that direction, Piedra couldn't help but be stunned a bit. Just what was that? What was going on? In quiet, boring ol' Hueco Mundo something crazy was going on. "Hey, ya all felt that, right? I'm not goin crazy?" Piedra asked, talking about the voice in his head.

Thea though she had appeared before him noted his act of toughness in he presence, but had seen that he was examining her like a hound of the world how pitiful it was for a warrior to take the time to do such a thing, she had heard him scream merely looking at him with that same emotionless gaze, then seeing another arrancar drop down and bow before her and she replied, "Ready for what?" As if something big was about to happen something that the didn't expect yet again she heard another voice and so she lifted her head back and turned it to the left of her to gaze into the forest, it was a surprising day she had to admit but nothing out of the ordinary.

Cross stood up shaking his head. " it wasn't to you woman. it was to the fool infront of you." Pointing at Piedra, he had a look of rage on his face. Taking a few steps towards him, rolling his shoulders, he suddenly stopped. The voice he has heard before ran through his ears. "now?..." He stuttered. The voice was not something Cross was used to, But he has heard it before. Grabbing his blade he looked over towards Piedra and the others. Then back out to the middle of the forest. "We can not ignore his orders.." Cross was one for listening to this force. So doing a command like that he could not ignore. Taking one step forward, he sonidoed into the trees. Kneeling on a branch rubbing his head.

I hear piedra scream like a little girl he then turns and tries to grab me but i had seen the tell tale signs that he was going to grab me so i easily dodge it and give him a come on you can do better then that look. Then cross appears i rise an eyebrow and lightly tap the hilt of one of my zans watching to see where this would go i then feel a surge in the strange energy unlike any hollow or shinigami reiatsu i have felt before then i hear one word and one word only. what the hell is this thing thinking that it can order me around a 3000 year old being give or take a few. i then hear piedra ask if we heard that or is he crazy i reply. "oh i already think you are insane piedra but yes i heard that voice what ever it is. I will only go because i want to know what this thing is not because it called." i then start to stark towards the sorce of the energy wasting no movement if you look at me i look like a tiger who has sented a possible intruder in his lands and is going to check it out.
