DEVIL DOGS
Type: Destroy (PvE) (Repeatable)
Level: 1
Description: Locate and eliminate the rogue Hellhounds that are terrorizing a region in the Living World. These monsters are invisible to spiritually unaware individuals, about the size of a large wolf, and breathe fire. They have appeared in an area with high spiritual activity and instead of hunting Sinners, are feeding on anything with ample amounts of reiatsu. The pack leader will be larger than the others and sport a fiery mane around their skull.

Locate and destroy at least 6 Hellhounds.
Eliminate the pack leader, otherwise the others will just respawn on them.




The air rippled as a garganta formed within the air of the living world.  A black boundless void in the air was revealed as reality peeled away, revealing a lone figure in stark white and black, the uniform of the arrancar.  He stepped down slowly, using the spiritual energy in the area, high for a mortal realm, to create platforms for him to step on.  When he had finally touched the earth below the garganta began to close until it was gone, the world seemingly back to normal...or perhaps not.  Something was amiss in this town, this tiny section of the world.  Tokyo was it name, or atleast that was what he was told, the current location of the highest spiritual energy in the living world.  Such a concentration did many things, such as making humans and mortal be born with odd powers, drawing the attention of hollows, and other unsavory creatures.  It was such creatures that drew him here now, tasked by one of his leaders, unassigned as he was, to come here and investigate...eliminate if he could.

His eyes fell to the ground, finding a pile of ash with a multitude of colors poking out of it.  He bent down, hand brushing off some of the ash to find a shirt, the ash sticking to the inside of it.  These creatures used fire it seemed...and it fit their names he supposed.  He looked around, trying to determine if he could find tracks...nostrils flaring as he tried to smell the telltale signs of their fire.  He sighed, standing up and brushing off the ash on his cloak.  He had no idea why he of all people was assigned this task, he wasn't a tracker...were the other arrancar mocking him...hoping he died out here?  He supposed it was possible...but what purpose would it cause?

He shook his head, taking a step in what he guessed was the right direction before he heard something...a snarl.  Luck was on his side it seemed...or perhaps against him.  He drew his zanpaktou as the figure of a large hound wreathed in flames stepped from the darkness of a nearby underpass.  "Come on then" he'd say, a smile forming on his lips.

Vance got the call the second a dam flare appeared on some pencil pusher's screen in the OGA. An annoying voice on the other end mentioned a garganta and a portal to hell, again. That was a bit too much for his tastes. People really need to get their shit under control. The distributor sighed inward as he brought up the navigation on his phone.

It shouted at him to turn left and he did in his rented car, barely managing to dodge some car that thought yellow meant speed up as he did so. He continued driving for another half mile before half jumping a corner to "Park" the thing, which was a strong word for nearly slamming into a sidewalk and bricking the chassis. "Agent on Scene, gearing up now." Vance stated into his phone and popped the trunk, he got out of the car and went to the open trunk.

In a matter of moments he had his ginto tube belt strapped on along with his other firearm and made sure his armor was ready to go before giving his cowboy hat a pinch and flourish along the rim. He then pulled up his phone again and called in. "Directions to targets?" He asked and pulled his badge out of his pocket and placed it in the slot holder on his belt and slid an earpiece in.

"Confirmed." He said as he walked towards the end of the block, and began to smell sulfur. "Moving. Standard cover." He said into the earpiece. He checked the slide on his FnX then pulled out the clip and dumped the contents of a ginto tube on it before splashing it to his other clips. The smell was getting worse as he moved up.

He slapped the clip back in and racked a round with practiced ease before coming to the underpass. "Confirm, arrancar on site." He whispered as he watched the thing taunt the demon. Well, at least he could pawn this off on someone else. He thought as his soul began to slowly tear away, hiding as he saw more of the pack move.

As Nezuel hit the ground he realized something...in all of his time as a hollow he had never learned how to weild a sword...and why would he have, when you have dark powers bestowed upon you using a sword isn't really necessary.  Even as the hell hound's teeth sank into his arm, he recalled his folly.  He had moved forwards towards the hound, taking his sword to the side of himself as he stepped closer and closer...you couldn't show fear to creatures based on hunger and instincts, to turn tail and run was an invitation to hunt you down.  He was the predator here...not the prey.  Unfortunately, as the hound broke into a sprint at him he misjudged the distance, his sword missing the target as it charged below his guard and knocked him on his ass.  The only thing stopping him from having his throat ripped out was likely the arm in the way of the jaws.

He managed to get onto his back and position the hell hound at just the right angle for him to kick the beast off of him.  Fabric tore as its teeth took the clothing on his arm.  Before the beast could return, he got up, taking a defensive stance...before he noticed something odd.  His eyes moved to his arm, noticing the bite wounds were shallow...and we'rn't healing.  It seemed his skin was tougher...but his regeration was gone, he would deal with that later. 

He shook his head, composing himself as the hell hound charged again.  This time he was mindful of the beast's speed and size, managing to penetrate the thing's head with his sword as he brought the blade down.  It whimpered on the ground as he kicked it onto its side, then bent down and slit its throat.  One down....how many more? 

In the distance, there were more howls...getting closer.

Vance stood around the corner watching by putting his phone around the corner and relaying the image to himself. Thank Doctor Fredricks for useful technology, his soul was already going into a bad count of overdrive and it was going to cause more problems the longer he was here. This arrancar could solve the problem. Vance was thinking before he pulled the phone back and looked back up towards the other side as a few more hellhounds sniffed and looked at him.

He pocketed the phone and an annoyed look he stared the two down for a second before the howled and charged. He shifted his weight as they ran past the arrancar and his hand glided down to the cross draw and grabbed his Model three and six shots rang out in a percussive set of claps. His off-hand was above the hammer, gripping the breach he flared the gun and the spent shells ejected and he pulled out six more and began reloading.

He flicked the breach back up and backed up as he pointed the firearm in the direction of the arrancar and the hounds. "Shoot it, or recruit it." He said under his breath as he waited to see who would come out the winner of the fight.

Nezuel was too focused on the hounds to notice the quincy's antics with his phone and the way he was being watched.  Already what little fighting he had been through had his blood pumping, a smile forming on his face.  He'd missed this...fighting as a hollow had been one thing but as an arrancar it was almost as he remembered from so long ago.  The smile on his face faltered, however, as another voice joined the battle, one that certainly wasn't a hellhound.  He turned just in time to see the man run past him, followed by more hellhounds.  He scowled, turning to the man as the shots rang out not quite sure of their target he put an arm across his face in case any of them were for him. 

When he brought it down he could see the Quincy was holding his weapon at him...or the hounds, both then?  He certainly didn't seem friendly, and the Quincy were more again his kind than the Shinigami. "If you're going to shoot me then do it"   He would say with a frown readying himself for the eventual fight.  "But perhaps it can wait until after these pests are dealt with, they seem to be eating your kind?" Hs eyes widened as he moved quickly towards the Quincy, sword lashing out as he stepped behind him and deflected the blow of a hound that had been hiding up until now.  "Truce...for now?"

"Actually, they seem to be eating you right now." Vance pointed out as he holstered the Model 3 and pulled his FnX up and pulled the trigger on a hound a ways away as the Arrancar tried to slash at him. Vance could not sense anything because of his soul distribution and instinctively brought up a ginto tube and popped it open to dissipate the damage. Which probably probably not helpful but Vance could not use his own energy so playing it safe was better than playing it dead. Or that's how he thought anyway.

"Why would I give a truce to a literal dimensional invader that doesn't work for or with my organization?" He stated as he rolled out of the way of the last hellhound and. What was odd was that Vance, was not superhuman, he wasn't faster or stronger. His actions were just that of someone who had been doing this with no advantage for a long time. Soul Distribution was a curse, a really bad one at times. While Vance was in combat, or just near other spirituals, his soul was actually being torn apart to supply them with healing and power. So, as the Arrancar fought harder, regardless of if Vance thought he was friend or foe, he would get stronger and heal and Vance would get weaker. So, this had to be quick, plus he had to recruit or shoot the Arrancar after the dam hounds were dealt with, at least the last one, anyway.

"Technically I'm from this world too...just a few hundred years ago" the arrancar would say, tapping a finger to his lips as he thought about it.  As he did so he looked down, seeing the wound on his arm gone.  His eyes widened as he sense energy seeping into him...attempting to follow it to the source he found it to be none other than the quincy.  Was the man playing hard to get...or was he just unable to control himself.  The arrancar could certainly understand both situations...but perhaps that wasn't important right now.

There was one more enemy in the group that had attacked them.  It wasn't the alpha, didn't seem big enough, but it certainly seemed quick enough.  It moved forwards, fangs flashing as Nezuel brought up his sword, a bright flash of sparks as the two objects separated, inflicting no damage on the other.  It was frustrating, how poorly he was fighting with the sword he just wish he could...a well of power seemed to rise in him, perhaps goaded or nurtured by the Quincy's own power, emboldening him.  Almost instinctually he helf up his finger, lightning cackling from it to hit it and burn through its body...that power...unlimited.  He shook his head, he'd felt that before...or atleast had been on the other end, it was demon magic, kido, something the shinigami had used on him.

"Perhaps because I bear you no ill will" the arrancar would say, turning to the Quincy  "Because I came here to stop these things, because I don't feel like killing a human tonight" or any night, really...he'd had his fill of such flesh when he had been forced to eat such things.

Vance unmuted his phone when the last hellhound went down. His soul was quickly streaming from his body now as he grunted and pulled out another tube to dissipate the energy flowing outwards. It would not delay it long, but it would give him a slight advantage in staying upright for a time. He still had to deal with other problems. "Nothing personal but I do have a day job and unfortunately the rules are quite clear. Shoot it, or Recruit it. If you really believe you are from here then it happens to be time to prove it."

Vance stated as he pulled out his OGA badge from his belt and held it up. "On behalf of the OGA, humanity, and this dimension, you now work for my boss. That way I don't have to shoot you." Vance said making the decision for the arrancar. The gunfighter seemed to not care at all about what the arrancar had to say on the subject and he pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of the man before tossing him a special phone. "Glad we had this discussion, or you could always go back to being some number's bitch in a never-ending desert. When you realize that isn't interesting, there's a single number in there, just tell the operator Vance sent you." He stated before walking back up the side of the underpass towards his car, singing.

"Just my rifle, my pony, and me."

Nezuel was very, very confused.  After the removal of the last hellhound in the area the man had told him that he now worked for his boss...what boss, what was this OGA and what was the item he had given him.  He held the small phone in his hand, not really sure how to use it.  There was a number inside...and an operator?  It seemed like the man was more concerned with getting his job done and leaving than anything else, but at least it seemed like whatever he had done, based on whatever rules he was under, meant he didn't have to shoot him...though he wasn't sure if he liked the idea of such strict rules.  His eyes narrowed as the man left, singing a song.  Perhaps he'd have questioned the man, but he seemed to have no time for discussion one way or another.  Shaking his head, Nezuel would turn and start walking away.

As he turned to leave his hand trailed behind him, opening up the air as he creates a graganta.  His attention was on his other hand, however, throughts moving through his mind.  The power that he had felt had seemed natural, like it was second nature to him.  Even as he moved the riatsu through his body small sparks of electricity would jump from one of his fingers to another.  As the garganta closed behind him and he stepped inside, creating the reishi platforms, he spoke a few words, hesitantly, words he had heard a shinigami say.  "Hado #4 Byakurai" and even as he said it lightning flew from his finger once again...but there was more in him, more techniques he could learn.  He needed to find a teacher...and he wasn't too apt ot ask another arrancar with how eccentric they were. 

Shaking his head he turned...taking a different path in the endless void.  He needed more time to train, grow...it wasn't yet time to return to the white sands of Hueco Mundo.
