"Better not be anyone useless" said Yukino. A small boy came through the doors. He walked in and sat down and rested his head on his left hand while looking at Pythia. "I can go alone, really." He said taking out a card and spinning it on his fingertip.

Cross looked up at Pythia. He sat there, listening to his plans, and he heard about the 3rd Espada.

"Why don't you just send me there" He said. "I could bring him here without getting him harmed and make him think he's going on a daily routine training session of sorts"
He put his feet down on the floor and sat up, first time since he had entered the meeting room.

"Heh... you both have a good reason however in this case you will both go... Yukino you shall attack him when he is alone your abilities will make it easy for you to defeate him.

He may look like a foolish brutal grunt but he's not as stupid as he looks... plus... it makes it all the more easier and interesting when someone is begging for mercy and dying...

Cross, Yukino I want you both to go and retreave him. If he fights then be sure to leave him half dead by the time he arrives here."


Pythia moves he's left hand to the side of the chair and the floor opens up to make a small circle. A tube then arrises and stops just before Pythia's hand a small glass case arrises with two blue beads. He opens the case and takes out the two beads.

"These two beads you will swallow these and this will grant you the ability to shift into a shinigami. This shift is only temporate and lasts for 48hours you will look like a shinigami sound like one and your spiritual pressure will be like one. However when you battle this discuise will disintigrate and reveal your true hollow selves."

He then takes out a small cube from the same place he got the two beads and passes it Cross.

"This cube contains a large powerful stealth barrier. Anyone who tries to enter this barrier shall be pushed back by a unknown powerful force. No one gets in and no one gets out.

Use this barrier when your near the captain and you're confident that he will be fooled by this barrier. My suggestions are to join he's squad and then attack him."

Cross shook his head.
"Why must I work with people Pythia?" He asked him. "You know i'm capable of doing this by myself"
He sighed as he saw the beads.
"And you should know I don't need those" He said. His body was shrouded in a purple mist. As it cleared he appeared to be as a shinigami, his mask was gone as well.
"I can appear as a shinigami, and due to the capabilities of the mist, it can seem to be shinigami spiritual pressure"

He shrugged as he then took the cube. "But if I must work with him, then I will" He said. "Don't expect us to stay together, I'll do things my way and he can do things his way"

*Cross's age is changing, i don't want to play a 30 something year old lol. I'll make him 19, well appear as 19.

Yukino sighed, "I agree, I am perfectly capable of this job on my own. Though I will go my own way as he will with his." Yukno walked over and swallowed a bead. And started to change form into a shinigami. His mask disapearing and his attire changing. "I look awful. But I guess we should get moving. Cross." He said walking out.

"Good... just be sure to attack Michael and only him, not each other and not anyone else. Take the beads incase you need them. Leave... now! put your discuises on and join he's squad. The Sooner the better."

Pythia would then lean back slightly and then pick up he's ciggerette and puff on it once again. He would take it out of he's mouth again and then blow out the smoke.

"As for the rest of you... begin recruiting. Gain yourself a Fraccion, the max you can have is 10... also... there are two more spots to join the Espada. If you think someone is worthy enough to be a healer for the Espada then bring them to me...

now then, while i'm gone my brother Armony shall be taking over things in Hueco Mundo while i'm in the soul society. Don't get him annoyed because he will get angry and most likley attack you. I have already warned him not to attack you... also do not underestimate him he is almost as powerful as I am. Now then are there any questions?"

"Don't get worked up old man." Said Yukino leaving out the door through a garganta. He went ahead of Cross seeing they wanted to go on there own.

Cross threw his cigarette down on the ground.
"Fine, if I must" He said as he now swallowed the bead. The only thing that changed about him, was his hair shortened, turned to an amber color and his eyes turned dark purple.

"I'm ready when you are Yukino" He said as he stood up. He crossed his arms again and stared down under him. His personal garganta opened up under him and he fell through it.
"This plan of yours better work, if it doesn't, you're dead" He said to Pythia as he vanished.

"Well then... if there is no more questions then you are all free to leave, go of and train. Go back to your realms. I shall call you when you are needed once again."

Pythia gets up from he's seat and stretches slightly, he walks to the wall of the back of the room, he clicks he's fingers and a large garganta opens up on the wall. He looks back to the Espada and says.

"Remember, i'll be residing in the soul society for the mean time. You do something that was not orderd by me or my brother than you shall face serious conciquences."

And with that Pythia stepped into the garganta and walked through it to see that it closed up in the way he entered. Pythia now arrived into the soul society and began he's discuise as a captain.

Kyouga did as he was told, and returned to his kingdom until he was given further orders. Right now, he was starting to question if it was a good idea to overtake the Seireitei. It certainly wasn't, but he needed some time to think...
