The sky was the most beautiful shade of blue. White, puffy clouds seemed to just float on by with the relieving breeze that grazed the skin of a pale man. His shadow stood behind him as he faced a giant building known to many as the Ekusoshisuto. It was a five story building that resembled any other school. As Nanashi peered through the windows, he could see people walking by on their way to the next class. Nanashi stood at the front gates of the building as he placed his hands inside the pockets of his cloak. The breeze seemed to stop abruptly as a giant cloud blocked a majority of the sun's rays from shining down, casting a huge shadow upon Nanashi and the school. The beauty turned into dullness within seconds of Nanashi's appearance. Time seemed to slow down as he made eye contact with the Headmaster of the school as he walked by one of the windows. Nanashi revealed a small grin as he began to walk through the front gates and into the school. The bell run loudly as he entered, echoing through the halls. A young man with books in his arms ran by, almost hitting Nanashi as he began to take a step forward. "Watch it!" Nanashi yelled after him as the boy just continued running. Nanashi looked around the beautiful interior of the building as he was searching for the headmaster's office. He was looking for Alexander Cristo. As Nanashi rounded the corner, there was a girl walking towards him. "Excuse me, can you show me where I might find the headmaster's office?" Nanashi asked as politely as possible. The girl merely pointed down another hallway. It was the door that read "Headmaster" on it. Nanashi felt quite stupid after she pointed, but he nodded in gratitude of the girl's services.

Nanashi walked up to the door as he hesitated in front of it for a few moments as if he were thinking of how he would say what he wanted to say. Slowly, he stuck his pale hand out with a clenched fist and knocked on the door three times. They were not loud booming knocks as if someone were angry, but gentle knocks as if he did not really want to be there. Nanashi merely waited on the outside of the door for an answer to the knocks.

*The doctor followed behind Nanashi. Staying behind him as he did see Nanashi as superior, that and well because he did not know where he was going. He almost screamed with delight when they arrived at the school and he saw all the students running about. Oh look at all of them. All special, all different. All their own unique abilities, all of their bodies able to respond differently to what he did. Oh what fun he could have! But wait...He must hold off on this, he was not here for experimentation...yet. He was here to assist Nanashi in acquiring the assistance of the humans. What Nanashi didn't know was the doctor pricked his finger before coming, and traveling behind them was a small ball of blood keeping out of sight no matter where they went. Though that did prove to be difficult at times, but not impossible. The doctor just had to make sure it was in the right place at the right time. Though he never thought he would have to use it. They wandered through the hallways, his white lab coat standing out well in the blue hall ways of the school. He knew that Nanashi had no idea where he was going, but knew better then to try and point out the obvious signs all over the school. They would find it when they found it he figured. Now was a good time to learn the structure of the school anyways, so while walking he began committing the entire layout of the school to memory. using the glances at the signs and the hallways he passed through he began to form a detailed sketch of the school in his mind. With a few more glances, he would know this school better then most of the students.*

*When the bell rang and the students came rushing out, the doctor felt giddy. He saw all the wonderful subjects, all in such perfect condition. Oh the horrific and fun things he would do to them if he ever could get them alone. He would take his time and slowly take the scalpel along their chest until he could peer deep inside their organs where he would.....wait now was not the time for day dreaming. However when the student pushed past Nanashi, the doctor took it as an insult. Both to Nanashi and himself. The kid dared to mock that which the doctor saw as a superior. That meant he dared to mock the Doctor. The Doctor knew he couldn't kill him yet. But a small trip would be alright. The ball of blood hardend and flew into the childs shin, sending him sprawling across the floor, books and papers flying everywhere. However the ball of blood had already disappeared when he looked around for something to blame. His peers mocking him. The ball had already been reabsorbed into the doctors finger and there was no longer any proof that the doctor had done it. The doctor smiled wickedly at his unknown mischief. It felt just like being a kid again! When Nanashi asked the girl for directions, he knew where to go, but he felt that maybe Nanashi wanted to seem more humble which is why he did it the way he did. The doctor shrugged and followed behind him patiently, and waited for the answer from the other side of the door.

*Cristo had been wandering the school. The hallways were packed with students, yet somehow there was always a perfect amount of room for him. He walked through the waves of students like a person would walk down an empty side walk on a bright morning day. Without a care in the world, though he was worried about quiet a few things. The hollow attacks were still growing even though they were distributing soldiers all across the world. Hopefully soon things would finally be fixed and the hollows would learn their place again. It was not going to end well. When he looked out at the sky though, his eye caught the eye of a strange looking man. The man was peering into his school like a pedophile. Why did Cristo get the feeling that he was going to have to hurt him...Then there was another strange man behind him in a lab coat...Why is it most gifted people always turned out to be partly loony...Barker and Sharu were proof enough of that.*

*Cristo knew they would eventually end up in his office and so he went to it to wait. He walked into his well furnished office, and sighed...He placed the three chairs in front of his desk in a semi circle pattern and adjusted all the paintings on the walls. First impression meant something, especially if these people were meant to be teachers. Oh he would love more teachers but he knew better then to get his hopes up. He sat down and waited patiently. He waited and waited as time ticked by until a knock he expected a few minutes ago finally erupted from his door way. He braced himself for the worst mentally, and then in a loud and commanding voice said: "Come in"*

Nanashi's pale hand wrapped around the cold, silver door knob into Alexander's office. As the door slowly opened, it creaked annoying. Nanashi poked his head into office. "You should fix that damn squeak, you know." he said trying to break the ice as he fully opened the door and walked in. Nanashi had been ignoring the Doctor because he knew him well enough to know that he would be playing with his own blood. So, without looking back at the Doctor, Nanashi walked in and sat down in one of the chairs that Alexander had so graciously set out prior to his arrival. "I see you were somewhat expecting us." he said as a smirk lit up his face. Nanashi crossed his legs as he then crossed his arms as well and leaned back in the chair. "You see, I'm not here just to chat." Nanashi said cutting to teach. "I'm here to offer my services." Nanashi said as he paused and stared at Alexander. Although he was massive compared to Nanashi's stature, he did not intimidate Nanashi at all. Nanashi knew that he was still just a human. However, he had not brought his zanpakuto with him to try and not draw attention to himself or cause any disturbances within the school. He was afterall only here on an alliance deal.

As Nanashi began to speak again, he was interrupted by a loud explosion that shook everything around them. He looked around as he saw smoke float by. "Well, that's not good." He said as he continued to just sit in his seat and acted as if nothing had just happened. "Well, I've been thinking..." He started up again but was interrupted by a strange looking man who had just ran into the door. "Damn it!" he said loudly as he looked at the door and saw the man. His hair was fried, parts of which were still lit on fire from what Nanashi assumed the explosion had caused. He had a gray streak through his hair and wore old, tattered clothes. His entire body was covered in black soot. As he coughed some of it out of his lungs, a cloud of black smoke appeared in front of him. Nanashi then began to cough at the smell, waving his hand in front of his face as if to blow away the stench.

"Pardon me..." Benjamin spoke. "But there seems to be a problem with your thermostat." he continued. Nanashi merely looked at the strange man as if he had some mental problem. "Oh, am I interrupting something?" Benjamin asked as he looked at Nanashi. He bowed to him apologetically. "I am Benjamin Barker." he said as he tried to dust as much soot off of his clothing as he could. "I apologize for that explosion, but as I said, the thermostat is broken." he said as he lifted up the thermostat box all busted up, electric wires hanging out. "Well, there's your problem." Nanashi said sarcastically. "It's not attached to the wall." he said as he chuckled slightly at his own humor. Benjamin chuckled slightly as his face turned slightly red behind the black soot. "Well, it was attached. But it got so damn hot in that room and when I turned it up, it just kept getting hotter. So, I blew it up." He said as he continued to grin apologetically. Nanashi turned back to Alexander. "Are all of your staff as... Out there as this one?" he said with a raised eyebrow. This man was truly strange, but he might prove useful, if all else fails, Nanashi could have Benjamin blow up all of Soul Societies thermostats. That'd teach them... If they had them. "I'll let you deal with this..." Nanashi started as he took a second glance at Benjamin and looked back at Alexander, "Before I continue with why I'm here." he said with a slight nod.

*The doctor smiled as he watched all that was going on. He was committing all of it to his memory. He was reading body language, tone, everything. Nanashi was acting weird though. He was being polite...to a human. It surprised the Doctor to see. He knew that Nanashi was a master of deception but to think he could swallow his pride and bring himself down the level of this scum. And even seemed to enjoy doing it. The thought of his leader marvelous acting sent goose bumps down his spine. He loved it. And then there was this new guy who entered. It appeared as if he had broken something. Maybe he was the useless one of the school...maybe they would give him to the doctor to play with! Oh the Doctors eyes lit up with glee as he continued to sit back patiently doing nothing.*

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\



*Cristo heard the way the stranger talked about the door. Trying to break the ice with a bit of small talk. When the man mentioned offering his services Cristo pulled his hands up and folded them intertwining his fingers as his eyes met the one who was talking. "What kind of services are you talking about?" Cristo let the back of his mind start sizing this guy up. His size, spiritual power and his tone were all being added into the equation. Cristo didn't know what to expect and wanted to make sure that should a fight break out, he could stop them without a problem.*

*BOOM...all thoughts that were running through the large mans mind went blank and immediatly went to one word....Conrow. He assumed right off the bat that the little trouble maker had gone and messed something up. And right when he was trying to get a new faculty member. He would kill him at this rate. Then Barker showed up....Barker? Of all people he didn't really expect Barker but the man came in holding a thermostat. The thermostat was broken...well Cristo could see it had been blown up so assuming it was broken was an understatement. The stranger seemed to have a few sarcastic remarks to Barker, nothing to serious, and rather amusing. It showed a promising senseable person. Cristo just had to wait to see the character flaw.*

*His form seemed to disappear from the chair, reappearing in front of Barker looking at the thermostat. Cristo looked at Nanashi when he asked if all of his staff was as out of it as Barker. Cristo didn't like that kind of comment, it insulted his staff but he decided to blatantly ignore it. Cristo looked at Barker.* "Take this to 4th floor, classroom 138. They will repair it for you." *With that Cristo turned back to the stranger. His large bulky form towering over the unknown man* "So now, what kind of services are you offering?" *Cristo seemed to pick up exactly where they left off as if the intrustion of Barker never even happened.*

Benjamin merely bowed his head in compliance of the order demanded of him. "Hai!" he said as he disappeared in what seemed to be but a blur. "Ah, yes." Nanashi started as he watched the strange teacher disappear without sight. "My services." he said as he continued to just sit in his chair, not looking at Cristo as if uncaring of his gargantuan build. He did not threaten Nanashi in the least. However, his size would be quite useful. "I am here to offer you an alliance. You see, I am the leader of the Fallen." Nanashi stopped as he caught a glimpse of the Doctor smiling at him. "Stop that, you're creeping me out." he said as he gathered his thoughts again. "We are an organization intended to bring down the ruling heads of both Hueco Mundo and Soul Society, both of which have either betrayed the humans or have hunted them." Nanashi looked out the window of his office as the bell rang for the students to go to their new class. He saw a few students run outside as they sat underneath the shade of a tree. Nanashi then looked back at the empty chair in front of him where Alexander had been sitting. "Forgive me, I have yet to introduce myself." He said as he realized that he had yet to tell Alexander his name. After all, who would join an organization where they don't even know who the leader was. "I am Nanashi." he said bluntly. "Are you interested in joining the fight?" he asked.

Nanashi then stood up out of his chair and continued to not even look at Alexander. He then walked back to the creaky door as he signaled for the Doctor to come along as well. This was another part of Nanashi's trickery. Ask a question and then pretend that you don't care of which answer they give you. It works quite well. Nanashi held one of his hands out to open the door. He then turned the knob as the door creaked open once again. His back was to Alexander as he stood at the door and began to walk away. "If you are interested, let me know. If not, I shall be on my way." he stated as he haulted in the doorway.

*The Doctor ignored what Nanashi said and continued to smile. He knew Nanashi would turn away and wouldn't notice if he continued or stopped. But when Nanashi rose, so did the doctor. He looked in the eyes of the giant monkey infront of him. He weighed him up and then finally spoke. "Joining us would be very...profitable for you and all the other humans. I have developed something you all might find...interesting." *The Doctor left it at that, he then proceeded to fill his head with thoughts of the experimentation process he would be doing later on a human or two. They were gifted though the ones he would get he couldn't tell what their gifts would be. Shinigamis shikais didn't affect the experiments typically, but a human, their power was part of them. He wondered if theirs would show what kind of reaction to certain chemicals, and if certain chemicals would only afftect specific humans and not affect the others. And what made them different, was it genetics, or something else? Oh the Doctor couldn't wait to begin.*

*Cristo looked at the man infront of him. Leader of The Fallen. He had never heard of them, but he liked what the man said so far. Though for some reason, Cristo didn't trust him. "What exactly is the Fallen?" Was Cristos reply, he wanted to know what it was he might be alligning himself with to bring down the head of the shinigami and hollow bastards. He had to be sure that this would be beneficial to him as well. Though when the man in the lab coat spoke Cristo picked up on one important fact....The men infront of him were not human...*

*Cristo formed a small punch dagger in his right hand. With the way his hand was resting on the desk it would not be noticed at the moment. Though he now felt certain that he should be on guard. He then spoke, his loud voice filling the room with a sound that demanded respect and authority. "Sit down and continue. Most importantly, what are you? Since the lab coat here says humans will benefit I am guessing your not human. And how will we benefit?" *Cristo looked at the lab coated creep and then motioned with his left hand to sit. The punch dagger hidden still. He wanted to have the element of surprise should it be nessecary. They were spirits, or worse. They could possibly be shinigami or hollows, but if they were then why would they come to him to ask him to help kill off the shinigami or hollows. Though the name...The Fallen...maybe they were Shinigami who had been kicked out of whatever realm it was they came from. If thats the case then maybe it would be worth his time to listen to what they have to say.*

"The Fallen..." Nanashi said as he stopped in the doorway, "is a collection of arrancar and shinigami intended to bring down the tyrants that run as the heads of each." He turned around and looked Alexander in the eyes. There was a strange aura around Nanashi, a more serious tone to him. Not an anger, nor an irritated, just something about him that would say to others 'don't question me'. His eyes were half opened and his mouth was not smiling or frowning. "If you wish to join against the fight against those who kill you and those who have abandoned you, let me know now. Otherwise, I have other places to be." he said as he turned back to the door. "I'm a busy man, I can't stand around here all day."

As he turned to the doorway, he was stopped by yet another question coming from the mouth of the human 'What are you?' Nanashi turned his head to the side, his eye turning the rest of the way to see a blurry form of the mass of a human. "I--Am a shinigami. A powerful shinigami. Joining me will be for your benefit." Nanashi had refused to sit back down, he was on a tight schedule and he needed to know or be on his way. To show truly how powerful he was, he released all of his reiatsu at full power. The building began to shake as a pressure began to push down on it. At his feet, the floor began to crack. Nanashi was sure that the other humans in the building could feel his presence as of now, the weaker were probably buckling under the mass amount of spiritual pressure. With a deep breath, the reiatsu vanished. "There is a taste of my true power." he said as he faced the doorway once again. "Do we have an alliance?"

*The Doctor laughed wickedly as Nanashi dropped his spiritual pressure on the humans. He wondered how many kids faces just went right into their desks. Oh what amusement! The Doctor smiled and then spoke to Nanashi. "Sir, I shall go get the presents I made for them." *Then in a low whispered tone* "Can I take a few of the children for experimentation?" *Regardless of what the answer was, The Doctor disappeared flash stepping down the stairs and outside. He flashed away from the school to an abandoned building where he had left the scribes. Walking in he sighed as he grabbed up his new invention. He enjoyed creating things, thats why he loved these so much. But he did not enjoy the fact he would never get to use them but instead they would fall into the hands of the humans. Oh well, not much he can do about it.*

*The Doctor then disappeared again, flash stepping back across town, through the school yard, up the stairs, down the hall and back to Nanashi's side. Upon reappearing he handed Nanashi the big stack of scribes he had made. "The machine is still put up, but that should make a good gift already."*

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\



*Cristo seemed unaffected by the spiritual pressure being placed on the school. Standing up while Nanashi was creating it. If Nanashi decided not to stop in the next, oh 3 seconds. Cristo would go over there and punch his face in because he knew his students would get hurt. Thankfully before the count of the three was over in the Juggernauts head, Nanashi had dropped the pressure. Now they clearly didn't like the humans. They kept talking about the humans in a degrading manner. So then why would they want to ally them selves with us. Could it be that they are low on members and are wanting to use the humans to help fight off the shinigami. Well it appears that they want to crush the bastards as much as we do. So he could join forces with them now, then kill them later. *

*He didn't seem to be impressed by Nanashi's display of spiritual pressure. If anything he was kind of amused by it. So a powerful shinigami was at that level. Good, that meant they weren't to far above him. Victory is possible. But first he wanted to know 2 things. "2 questions, 1, whats in it for us? Other then revenge, surely you have something to offer us. And 2, When do you plan on doing this?"

Nanashi smiled at the Doctor in gratitude for rushing off to retrieve the gift for the humans. As he handed them to him, Alexander began to ask questions. "1, whats in it for us? Other then revenge, surely you have something to offer us. And 2, when do you plan on doing this?" Nanashi merely turned around to answer his first question as he approached his desk with the scribes. He set them down on his desk as he then began to explain what exactly this gift was. "These scribes are for you, Alexander Cristo." Nanashi started as he layed them all out where they could all individually be seen. "These will act like a shinigami's kidou for you. Each has its own special ability, all you have to do is use its incantation and its power is yours. Be careful, however, some of these scribes are too powerful for the weak, they could backfire and end up harming them instead of the enemy." Nanashi then reached inside his black trench coat as he pulled out a stack of folded up papers. "Here are the instructions and what each of them do. This is just a starting set of scribes. There's more if you decide to join us." he said as he unfolded the stack of papers and set it down on his desk on top of the scribes.

Nanashi then turned around and faced the door as if he were about to leave, but he stopped as he then began to speak. "We attack... In two weeks." Nanashi spoke dramatically as the last part of the sentence seemed to ring throughout the room. Two weeks was not that far away. This meant that he had a lot of work to do in such little time. First, if the humans accepted the alliance, they would have to learn to work together. Second, he would have to work out a strategy before attacking. He knew Kenta would be preparing for war as well and should not be expecting to barge in there. "I need your answer, Alexander. Are you in?" he spoke as he continued to stand at his desk with his back turned to the Headmaster of the school.

*The Doctor nodded at Nanashis approval. He then bowed and stepped back as he awaited for another assignment to accomplish. His brain began piecing how long it would take to move the rune machine into here and where would be the most efficent place to put it and how much power it would use. How many it could create a day and many other small details most people always over look. His eyes seemed to glaze over and anyone that knew the doctor could tell he was lost in thought.*


/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

*Alexander examined the pieces of parchment infront of him curiously. He could tell there was something speicial about them but how they worked and how dangerous they were he didn't know. And he did not like implementing a weapon into a war zone without having it tested first. He looked up at Nanashi who gave him a dead line and sighed. He then folded his hands together and spoke in a serious but neither angry nor annoyed tone. Like that of a buisness man. "3 months. If you want our help you will wait 3 months instead of 2 weeks. And only on a few conditions. 1 being that the creator of these must come stay at the school for the next 3 months talking with our professors on the creation, use, and dangers of this weapon you bring to me. Also I demand that I be a co-leader of this assualt. Not for the sake of power but so I can insure my men aren't used as cannon fodder." *Cristo then pulled out a large stack of documents and set them on the table. The documents were all made of individual folders, probably information on different agents that Cristo had for the school. All were thick folders containing dozens upon dozens of papers each giving off detailed descriptions about the people and about their abilities. "Before you try and hold us to your two week dead line...If you want anyone in this stack of papers to fight with us I will need 3 months to recover then from where they are stationed all along the world. And then to train them in this new weapon so that we can use it as effeicently as the Shinigami use Kidou. You want my answer...it is yes if you agree to our conditions."

(Sorry for the short post but I wanna speed this up)

"Three months it is." Nanashi said. He quite suspected as much. After all, they need to train as well. This didn't bother Nanashi at all for it gave him even more time to rally his forces and increase his own strength as well. "More of these scribes shall be coming as well." he said as he then turned to face the Doctor. "And the creator of such shall remain with you until you have mastered these scribes." Nanashi then gestured at the Doctor to stand by Alexander's side. "If you wish it, you shall be a co-leader of the Fallen." Nanashi finished. He couldn't care less who was in charge of the Fallen so long as he brought down the bastard Kenta. He was willing to do anything necessary to take him down. Nanashi walked back to the doorway. "So, I believe we have an accord, Alexander Cristo?" He said as he stopped and turned around to look the giant mass straight in the eyes.

OOC: Alexander Midou???? lol....Ummm I do believe there is a bit of a character confusion in this thread.


*The Doctor was flabbergasted. He would be stuck here...with that giant oaf...What cruel fate was this! He had hoped that Nanashi would refuse all of his conditions and force them to join us...but he gave in so easily...TO ALL OF THE CONDITIONS WITHOUT GIVING ANY IN PLACE. What was Nanashi thinking!?!?!? Oh god...He would be stuck here for 3 months...3 months! How was he supposed to finish his research about vizards while stuck here. He looked at Nanashi desperately. "Sir what about my ...other...work!?" The Doctor hoped he would be able to expierement on that pompous arrancar bastard. They needed the research completed before they attacked Kenta so they could strip him of his vizard powers.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

*Cristo sighed, he felt uneasy about how simply the man accepted his conditions. Nothing goes without a snag, and no counter arguement. He was uneasy until he heard the man in the lab coat talk about some kind of snag. It actually put him at rest. This meant that everything wasn't going as Nanashi planned it. That was his main paranoia. "You main continue your other research every other week. I hope that will be enough time. For now though you will wait with us. Now, Nanashi. I would like detailed reports about your mens abilities and personalities. I will in turn supply you with the same so that we can create more efficent groups." *Cristo then picked up the phone on his desk and began dialing numbers and stopped just before he pressed the left number.* "If you all will pardon me I have to call back my soldiers..." *With that he pressed the last button and anyone that looked could tell he was concentrating on the task at hand*

"Very well." he said as he simply turned around back at the door. "The Doctor can give you all the information about the Fallen that you need. No more. No less." he finished as he shut his eyes, not that Alexander could see it though. "Well, since we are good here, I must be off to attend to other business." he said. "Farewell." he finished. With a blink of an eye, he had disappeared away from the room. Nanashi had left and had left the Doctor. Leaving the doctor was no skin off of his back, however. He rather creeped him out, it would be nice not having spine tingling chills every two seconds.
