There is an old,long shut down warehouse located on outskirts of town.In better days it was a 'small' automobile factory,bringing in moderate profit.Now,it is dark and empty, unneeded.Enormous in size it looms over large,mostly empty property lot,smaller buildings built around the humongous body of the main one.Scraps of iron and old metal,along with decayed bodies of old cars are thrown here and there,rising up in mountainous rusted heaps.To the west is a small forested area and a road winds through the hills to the east.Behind is more forest and hills.At the moment it is around 10 am,a beautiful sunny morning.Despite this the warehouse looks dark with shadows cast by buildings,giving off feeling of wrongness and malevolent intelligence.

___Gotei 13 Group___ Loki __Seireitei,2nd div barracks __

Rushing back to his quarters after getting new mission Loki haphazardly throws things out of his closet in attempt to locate new set of clothes and his spair pair of sneakers,his main pair having been demolished by a Hollow."Ah hah!Here...but why were they in my 'explosives' box?Huh.." Jumping around the room in what looked like a comically strange dance dedicated to dressing gods he managed to pull on new yellow shitagi followed by shihakusho top that adjusted to his likes had a hood and short sleeves,hakama with white sash, yellow tabi socks and his just found bright yellow spare sneakers,all without toppling over or any major injuries.Taking a small messenger type,black and yellow bag he spents next twenty minutes demolishing the room more gathering needed supplies followed by quite fifeteen minute interval placing everything in proper pockets,straps,pouches,beakers and holding spaces inside the small bag.Looking over it again with expert eye Loki grins and stands up,strapping one belt attached to the bag around his waist and another smaller around left leg,effectively attaching the bag to his left leg for ease of use.In few seconds a small kunai pouch is attached to the right one.Grabbing black and yellow fingersless gloves with metal bands he pulls them on up to the elbows,flexing fingers.Finally carefully picking up Raijin from his holding stand Loki attaches the sheath to a yellow sash,slinging it over his chest and clicking thunderbolt shaped clasp closed.Passing mirror on way out he skids to a stop and backs up."....Something...missing?.." Staring at his expression,bright sky blue eyes scrunching in puzzlement it hits him."Goggles!! Bolts and sprockets,almost left without them!!" Scolding himself for oversight he retrieves his ever present goggles from night stand by the bed,cleaning the red tinted lenses and spending few seconds unsuccefully trying to brush his bright golden unruly hair into shape puts them on carefully,pulling up so they sit atop his head."There...now I'm ready." Smirking at his mirror self Loki gives it a wave and heads out the door,locking it with a click and making beeline for Senkaimon gates station.

___ Espada Group __ Saeth ___ East of Warehouse __

Slipping out after receiving his orders without Armand noticing Saeth arrives early,smirking widely and basking in freedom.His last forty minutes having been occupied trying to find supply tunnel that is to lead inside the warehouse/secret base.Getting irritated realizing he passed same hill for third time in a row he stops short,"I am being a fool." Quickly hiking up said hill Saeth stretches his wings out to their full impressve span,lifting into air with four powerful flaps.Climbing up higher and higher,delighted as usual in freedom of flight he performs several speeding manuvers then floats in one spot in a beam of sunshine for several minutes,enjoying the warmth of it on his pale skin.Here I am...enjoying sunlight. Finding the idea enourmously funny Saeth laughs loudly,a low and deep rumbling,warm laugh.Studying the landscape below for the tunnel and spotting what looks to be it he makes a sudden dive down,flipping in the air at last moment and slowing with three powerful flaps,wing muscle straining to land gently.Staring at what at first looks like entrance to large cave he quickly notices well packed earthen path leading from it in direction of the road, indicating this was well used.Further investigation shows torches fixed into walls of the cave and tracks from wheels and shoes among other things.Waltzing back out to wait for whoever else is to come Saeth positions hiself on a large sunny boulder,soaking in the warmth, extending out his wings to their full impressive size."Ahh....so nice..." Running hand through his hair he stretches leisurely and after a quick decision takes off his jacket,leaving only black longsleeved T-shirt on,rolling up sleeves.Setting jacket aside he flops onto his stomach and stretches out on the boulder to enjoy the sun while waiting.Placing head on his hands and losing eyes Saeth smiles softly,fangs flashing,spreading wings out fully,greatly enjoying feeling of warm rays on his sensitive wings,the orange-ish red of the inside looking like they caught fire under the sun rays.Growling in pleasure deep rumble escapes him. So nice....I just adore sunshine. Running over the thought again Saeth giggles at absurdity, though it sounds more like a growl.

__ Arcana Group __ Devien __Arcana HQ __

Sprawled on a huge bed among black satin sheets and piles of pillows Devien reads through mission orders final time, smirking slyly. Ah hah.So it did go out of control like predicted.Chuckling to himself he gets up,stretching leisurely like a large cat,wearing absolutely nothing,and sets about gettin ready.Close to an hour later,dressed in his usual Armani suit with dual zanpakutou in place on his back and mostly hidden underneath the jacket he pulls on white gloves,hiding away cross shaped scars on his hands.Picking up black cylinder hat he carefully puts it on to conceal his mask fragment horns.Checking appearance in mirror and giving it pleased,charming smile Devien jots down quick explanation note to Kaji and steps out,locking up his quarters.Leisurely making for the main entrance gates,where once outside he could open a garganta to the destination,Devien lights up a smoke,taking a long drags and releasing whiffs of smoke.Contemplating numerous ways this mission can turn and numerous people that are likely to show he chuckles,a sly smirk settling on his face, honey amber eyes glittering with anticipation of predator stalking prey.

~Gotei 13 group~Altria~In front of the Warehouse~

Having received mission from the Captain and gotten ready she set off,shortly arriving at the destination.Slowly taking in enormous property and huge looming structure of the warehouse Altria shivers,feeling cold standing in patch of sunlight.A heavy oppressive feeling weights down on her,settling down,heart fluttering nervously in her chest like a scared butterfly.It is not just the creepiness of the warehouse itself and the property but bone deep feeling of something being wrong and slowly rising fear,accompanied by irrational desire to turn around and run as quickly as possible,as far away as possible,only to get away. Shivering again Altria rubs her palms together to get some feeling into fingers suddenly gone numb,only one thought running over and over in her head,'I don't want to,don't want to,don't want..' Biting her lip nervously she shakes her head,strictly reminding herself this is a mission,but irrational panic at the mere idea of stepping inside there makes her heart beat faster. Staying shivering in the patch of sunlight and eying the warehouse Altria waits for others to show while trying to calm down and get rid of panic.

~Gotei 13 Group- Shiro- Warehouse front~

After getting the mission letter and reading it over for a fifth time shiro checks over his supplies one last time before heading out. He arrives near the warehouse and takes a look around, drawing in the sheer size of the place around him. "geez.... They weren't kidding when they said this place was huge." looking around again he picks up on Altria's spirit signature and smiles slyly in a playful way. he stealthily sneaks up behind altria being sure to keep his presence hidden, then covers her eyes with his hands and pulls her close to himself. "Guess who!" he snickers slightly finding his 'sneak-attack' rather amusing.

~Arcana Group~Akkei~West of Warehouse~
Adjusting her #3 uniform and repositioning the witches hat in mild irritation after it was swept off by yet another low branch she utters few curses in French, annoyed by the ordeal of having to trample through the forested area searching for emergency exit entry point.Pulling out her ever present tablet Akkei initiates a scan of the area,moving slowly and looking around carefully for signs of hidden entrances.

__ Arcana Group __ Devien __West of Warehouse __
Picking up Akkei's signature and hearing her cursing in French Devien smiles, secretly pleased and hoping it will be just them two in the end. Such wonderful opportunities I will have then..ah,but patience,patience. Standing up from where he was sitting on top of old,square looking metal door in the ground,well hidden by greenery running across it,he dusts his suit off from earth and leafs,and stalks for Akkei with quiet stealth,approaching her from behind without any noise,making certain to keep his reiryoku as low as possible.Wrapping one arm around her slim waist and pulling close to himself firmly so her back is against his chest,the other hand goes to cover her eyes.Leaning down he practically purrs into her ear,"Guess who?"

~Gotei 13 Group- Shiro- Warehouse front~

Eyes widening in surprise when he's suddenly flipped over Altria, and hits the ground hard on his back, his expression changes to a blank one when she holds a sword to his throat. "erm... interesting way of saying 'hello'......" He gets up and dusts himself off after Altria sheaths her zanpakuto once again all the while giving her a calm look. "Geez Altri-chan....... What's with you and being so jittery today? it's like you're afraid of the building over there or something in it." He laughs in a amused manner seeming to dismiss the fact there was a sword to his throat only seconds ago.

~Arcana Group- Mikiru- West of warehouse~

Arrives near the west of the warehouse after receiving orders from Lord Thoth, and heads for the designated location described in the mission review. He looks around, and picks up on Akkei's signature. "oh? Kei-chan is here too..." He smiles pleasantly and heads for her location and sees Devien holding Akkei close to himself. He stares at Devien with a blank expression and is obviously not very amused or pleased with the situation before him. "..........." -.- he walks up behind Devien, and suddenly whacks him with his heavy 15 pound black hard-cover journal. his expression is rather cold and emotionless as he stares at Devien. "what are you doing with this one's Fiancee?" his voice is rather cold and unamused.

___Gotei 13 Group___ Loki __Front of Warehouse __
Rounding up on the warehouse Loki grins,excited over the mission.Picking up familiar signature he hurries on,making beeline for it.Two figures coming into sight soon after he raises one hand,waving."Heeeey,Altri-chan!! Shiro-kun." Skidding to a stop near them Loki grins, staring at the warehouse itself."Woah!! Leet! Just look at this place..looks like a huge haunted mansion!! This is going to be soooo cool!! I bet there are all kinds of cool monsters there. XD " Looking so excited he's almost jumping in place Loki tugs at their sleeves."Let's go,let's goooo!!!!"

__ Arcana Group __ Devien __West of Warehouse __

Feeling a stare Devien looks up to see Mikiru.And the guard dog arrives.Sigh.I was hoping for some alone time.Fate is cruel... Smiling charmingly and not letting go of Akkei he takes the hand covering her eyes away,to lift his hat in greeting. "Good day,Mikiru." Following Mikiru with his eyes Devien is taken off guard,heavy journal descending on his head with a thud,head snapping forward. "Merde!!! >< " Following that up with a string of italian curses Devien glares at Mikiru,curses stopping hearing words "this one's" and "Fiancee" in same sentence. Automatically tightening his hold on Akkei's waist and pulling her closer to himself Devien stares at Mikiru in a mix of confusion,horror,surprise and fury,quickly demanding, "Fiancee?? What do you mean Fiancee?? O _ O Surely you jest. >| " Fiancee???No way!! Kei-chan is mine.Mine,mine,mine.A guard wolf can't have what he's guarding!It's against the rules.And..and..he's a bloody shinigami!!!Arrancars do not get engaged to shinigami!!!It's against the rules too!!Against the laws of nature!It's ridiculous!!It would never work!What foolishness....Rrrr...calm down..I need to calm..yes..this must be some stupid joke. A horrible,horrible prank.Or a very bad nightmare.- - But not reality. Furthermore...knowing Akkei...she would never say yes...indeed..it must be one of the former. Calming himself down Devien adopts blank expression but doesn't let go of Akkei.

~Arcana Group~Akkei~West of Warehouse~

Having been quietly steaming Akkei takes hold of Devien's arm wrapped around her waist and in sharp movement tugs it away,gripping so tightly his bones creak,her petite frame belying her true strength.Stepping to the side in next move she's behind him,twisting his arm behind his back painfully,close to the point of breaking it.Keeping voice level she growls in a low,ice filled tone,purple eyes narrowing and glinting dangerously with dark promise,"Keep you hands to yourself,Devien.If you lay them on me again I will not only break them,I will cut them off as well.This,I promise you.So if you wish to keep them you will cease such atrocious behavior." Letting go after a hard twist Akkei turns to step close to Mikiru,glad he has come,smiling at him and pointedly reaching to kiss his cheek,"I am glad you'll be here,love. ^^ " Glancing at Devien coldly,irritated by his words she settles a cold gaze on him,"It was no jest.It was simply not announced. Mikiru-kun is my fiance." Giving Devien a look that clearly says ' and if you have problems with it you can shove it because I don't care in the slightest.'

~Gotei 13 group~Altria~In front of the Warehouse~
Eying the towering building with obvious dislike she mutters quietly,"Maybe I am.." Trying to shake off the ominous feelings and lingering fear Altria forces on a cheery smile,clenching her hands tightly and trying not to look at the warehouse, instead focusing on Shiro. "Um... sorry...uh...about that...Instinct took over..." Hearing Loki calling to them in greeting she turns around,watching him approaching."Loki-kun...so you got this mission too..." Following his gaze to the warehouse almost against will Altria grows paler at mention of monsters, fear flickering through her eyes,not moving when he tugs at her sleeve.'NO! I don't want to go in!!! XO ' Fighting down rising panic again she almost automatically digs heels into the ground,staying unmoving,eyes frozen on the warehouse.

~Gotei 13 groups- Shiro- In front of the warehouse~

Snickering at Altria he has a cheerful look on his face obviously not caring in the least about Altria nearly attacking him in panic. "It's fine Altri-chan." He looks over in loki's direction upon hearing him call out to them. He doesn't move when loki starts tugging at his sleeve, but instead laughs at his mention of 'monsters' and then glances over at altria, a sly expression on his face. "Oh come on Altri.... We battle hollows all the time, and you're getting scared over a building?" he laughs cheerfully in a jokey manner, then huggles altria in a comforting way, whispering reassuringly so only she can hear, 'there's nothing to be afraid of Amae-chan.... I'm here with you... alright? anything in there we'll face it together.... come on..' he smiles sweetly and places a small kiss on her cheek.

___Gotei 13 Group___ Loki __Front of Warehouse __

Over excited and hyper Loki bounces over to the warehouse entrance when tugging them along didn't help.Stopping to stare at huge,double metal sliding doors that served as main entrance he whistles,impressed.Base sturdy metal of the door is covered in decorative metal ornaments and vines that still look impressive despite being rusted over and covered with green patina.A giant metal lock holding entrance securely locked draws his eyes. Squatting down near it Loki glows with delight,"Maan!! Just look at it.Sooo cool! >w< Old school lock in great condition..heh..after we're done here I am so taking it back with me.Hee..what kinds of cool stuff must be inside!!" Eye glowing with anticipation Loki gets out a lock pick from his small bag,spending next five minutes tinkering with the lock. Finally,there's a loud click.Grinning from ear to ear he places lock picks back and stands up,removing the lock."Heh,and I still rock." Carefully placing lock to the side of entrance to be picked aup later,upon their return,Loki grabs door handle and tries pushing them open.But no matter how much and how hard he pulls,pushes and heaves doors remain closed.Hands almost torn open raw and red Loki kicks the doors,impatient to get inside, turning around to see why Altri and Shiro aren't helping."Yo! Love birds! Enough with the hugging already.Come on over and help so we can get going with this. Ya can be lovey dovey when we're done.Let's get to the monsters!!"

~Gotei 13 group- Shiro- Warehouse front~

Looking up at Loki, Shiro narrows his eyes in annoyance upon being called a love bird. he mumbles quietly but sounding unhappy while doing so. 'uhg.... we're not.. love birrrrds...' he give altria a slight nudge, then starts heading over to help out loki. "come on Altri-chan.. let's go..." -.-

~Gotei 13 group~Altria~In front of the Warehouse~

'Hollows are one thing...this place..something is just wrong with it..' Leaning closer and relaxing in Shiro's embrace she let's the worry settle down,reassured by his words.Hearing Loki calling out Altria flushes pink for a moment,annoyed look flickering in her eyes.'We're not love birds!!Sheesh!' Shaking her head she follows after Shiro,still eying the building uneasily but keeping worry at bay.'That's right.. I'm not here alone.Everything will be fine.'

~Espada group~ -Destadi- East of ware house~

after receiving the missions detail from Niriel, Destadi heads for the spot described in the mission report. He stretches leisurely and yawns, well toned muscles showing from under his hakana top and white arm wrappings. feeling the warmth from the sun he shiver pleasantly, growling in a pleased tone. "Hrrrrrrrrrg.... A most excellent day to be outside." he continues on until the east side of the ware house comes into view, and let's out a heavy yet somewhat unhappy sigh, "shame we have to go spending today 'indoors' ..... it really is a wonder... Niriel-chan having us go out just to go beck inside again." assuming his usual sly expression he continues down, and notices Saeth basking in the sun with his wings stretched out to their fullest, he chuckles to himself then stalks silently up to Saeth from behind. Smiling widely, Destadi pounces on Saeth, landing squarely on his back, all the while being careful as to not injure or harm his wings. "hee hee.... hello there .. Sae-kun...." he growls amusedly and leans down slightly to nuzzle the side of his face. "rrrrrrrr..." -w-

___ Espada Group __ Saeth ___ East of Warehouse __

"Zzz...Ommpfhauargg??? 0 0 " Foreign something landing on his back his eyes shoot open,Saeth whips his head around in alarm,wings flapping in panic. "Hrgguarg!!??" Registering it's Destadi his expression settles from sleepy panic to mild annoyance,low growl rumbling from his chest."...Hello..Desta-kun....How nice of you to..pounce in." Flicking one wing at Destadi playfully he stretches gracefully, shooting him lazy grin,leaning closer into nuzzle."Hnnn,hnn." Not having too much reach on his stomach he pulls wings closer,brushing them against Desta teasingly."Hrrrnnn?"

___Gotei 13 Group___ Loki __Front of Warehouse __

Altria and Shiro coming close,shut metal doors suddenly rattle and with heave and loud screech slide open on their own.A gust of icy cold air blows from inside. Jumping back in surprise Loki stares at them in amazement,then laughs delighted."Wooho!!Sweet! That is so cool!!Ghosts!! " Getting more excited Loki rushes in,getting swallowed by murky darkness of the warehouse.Soon his voice echoes back distorted."Woaah....this is so cool!!" Looking up at the high ceiling he walks around the long stopped assembly line,lines of sunlight filtering in through the high glass window panes, metal heaps of different parts here and there. Catching something shiny at the very back Loki nimbly climbs over large heap of rusted over metal, jumping down."Ehh?" Stalking closer he stares at large,old fashioned mirror.Over seven feet high and close to five across it's set into a golden frame,carved in decorative forms.Standing perfectly straight it's leaning back against the wall a bit. "Weird...what is a mirror doing here?" Looking it over curiously Loki runs hand down the frame,jumping back startled."What the?? Hey guuuyss!!! Ya gotta see this."

~Gotei 13 group~Altria~In front of the Warehouse~

"Uwaaah!!!" Springing few feet in the air when heavy shut doors suddenly fling open for no apparent reason she clutches onto Shiro's arm tightly,clinging close and shivering at the gust of cold air."Yeee...w-what was that!!!Doors don't just do that!!Wait,Loki-kun!!" Calling out too late Altria shakes her head as he's already disappeared inside,only voice echoing back.'Why is he always rushing in? Damn it.' Eying dimly visible inside of the warehouse she slowly inches closer and peeks in,never letting go of Shiro's arm.

~Gotei 13 group- Shiro - In ware house front~

Watching the doors suddenly fly open and get followed by a cold gust of wind, blowing Shiro's hair back and fluffing it out at the same time, he gets an annoyed look on his face, then glances at Altria clinging tightly to his arm. He smiles reassuringly at her and pulls her close whispering, 'it's alright... I'll protect you....' when they reach the ware house, Shiro peers in looking around seeing all the heaps of metal and derbies laying scattered around throughout the building. Hearing loki call them over to the mirror, Shiro heads over to loki with Altria clinging to his arm and gives the mirror a curious glance. "A mirror? that's... a bit odd..." He examines the mirror and reaches out to touch the frame with his left hand, since altria is clinging to his right, then quickly pulls his hand away sensing something a bit odd with the mirror. "?? ... how.. very strange...." he continues to stare at the mirror with a curious expression not sure how to explain or give a logical explanation for the strange feeling coming from the mirror.

~ Gotei 13 group- Uriko- Ware house front~

Coming into the ware house Uriko looks around Timidly, not sure what to expect tobe lurking around within. Sensing a darker force at work within the building she quivers feeling uneasy and takes a shuddering breath before stepping in to look around. The many scattered piles of metal and debries make footing hazardous for her, and she stumbles a few times barely managing to regain her blanace each time. Suddenly picking up the familiar signatures of Altria, Shiro and Loki, Uriko carefully picks her way towards them, and comes to stand a little ways from them, looking a bit shy and a bit scared at the same time. Looking up with bright amethyst eyes she glances from them timidly before settling her gaze on the mirror and shiver. "... um.... y-you got... the mission letter... t-too? ....." feeling uneasy as she stares at the mirrior she turns her gaze to the ground and her feet. "...... s-so.... what... what do we do.. now?"
