Abel sighed. He had been walking through the forest for a while now, but he couldn't find a way out. He was getting pissed. He hated forests. Why the hell, would Reno send me here? He thought, before putting his hand through a tree. This time could be spent, making us stronger. He drew his blade, a bastardsword. He hoped, cutting down trees, would make him able to see. He cut the first one, and went to cut the second, when he felt a power. He grinned, and moved towards it

Abel, felt that this power, was greater than his own, but it didn't matter. Wasn't that the point of getting stronger? To fight enemies, stronger than yourself? He continued, cutting down trees as he went. He wasn't being subtle. It wasn't his style. He hoped, that by making this much noise, he would attract this power. His smile widened, as he got closer, and closer. Soon, he would be upon it.

Luke had been testing his newest creation's abilities.. an axe made from the finest tamahagane Luke was capable of making..making it very durable all by it's own natural power. now add to that the fact that the blade was enchanted to be able to go head to head with a captain class Zanpaktou without being easily damaged..that made this axe very fine quality.

Lisa was holding up another target and Luke pointed the axe head at it one more time.. Unleashing a thin ray of energy from it's top tip that burnt a hole straight through the target. Unfortunately the weapon the suddenly disintegrated from the use of it's power. Something that shocked Luke entirely..it was a bad omen for a weapon of his making to break so suddenly as he prided himself on his quality.

However..Lisa was no longer holding the damaged target and had moved to be behind Luke..something he thought was odd until he looked in the direction she was facing and began to pay attention to his surroundings. Someone was coming their way and they were tearing up the forest in the process. Upon trying to discern the nature of this being he found that hollow energy was also in the same direction.

Luke patted Lisa on the head and she calmed down from her tight and cautious stance. He knew as she did that this man was strong..but would pose no dangerous threat to them. However the aura his energy was putting up was certainly a hostile one. Luke was prepared for a fight..placing his hand once more on Lisa's head to keep her calm. She was a darling little doll but over the years she had gotten very protective. Dealing with non-humans was something that always seemed to get her rilled up.

"Lets just see what he wants. He may simply be annoyed at something other than us." Luke said calmly to Lisa with a tone that said to be prepared for a fight anyways. He wasn't naive..he was far too old for that. When something gave off a hostile intent..it was usually going to take it out on the first thing it could find.

"Fine..but I will make the first strike should he attack." Lisa replied in her cute voice that sounded mature all of a sudden. She was being serious..something Luke was used too lately. Though he didn't understand what had changed her back to her somewhat normal self so easily.

Abel stopped, as he noticed the two. One was a young man, with brown hair. He seemed slightly annoyed. The other, was a little blonde haired girl. Abel just looked at her. He then smiled, maliciously. "I didn't expect anyone else to be here. My boss said, that this forest was empty." He looked back, at the man. "So, I guess introductions are in order. I am...." Abel stopped, debating whether to use his real name. "The Killer Memory. Now, then, what's your name?" He then laughed. "Oh wait, it won't matter. Because your going to die. Right hear, right now." He pointed his bastardsword at the guy, and fired a few Bala, just to get started.

As the Bala was heading his way, Abel flew in, before aiming a punch at the guys face. After that, he swung downward, hoping to cleave him in two. He flew back a bit, and charged a pure white Cero. His insane laughter, filled the forest. It made birds, leap out of trees.

Lisa's trusty hammer came out and smashed the bala's incoming for Luke so hard that they burst into nothing. She was already on the move..she had been ever since he said the word killer. Now she was pretty much right on the man bringing her hammer down to strike his head. Which didn't help her new situation as the man started charging a cero and damn near fired it point blank upon Lisa..only for her to have been tackle hugged out of the way by a speedy Luke.

As he put Lisa down the cero had finished it's destruction upon that part of the forest and he sighed softly as he looked over at the hollow. From his side he pulled free a soul forged Katana he had created specifically for himself..though he had taken months longer to do it than it normally did..because his soul was technically already spoken for. Now Luke was actually ready to fight unlike his doll..who had once again closed the gap between her and the hollow..though she was definitely being more cautious than before..

She had underestimated his Cero charge time..now she knew for sure..it wasn't going to happen again..so once more she tried to bring that hammer of hers down on the man's skull. While doing this Luke had moved at a high speed using a technique known to all bounto's and got himself behind the hollow..making a slash for his back in case he tried a simple avoidance of Lisa's hammer.

The man had mentioned a boss..when this was over..Luke and the hollow were going to have a nice little chat before sending the man to the next life permanently..

Abel smiled, as his Cero, had almost killed the little girl, right off the bat. However, he felt something. A pang of regret? Even if he was an Arrancar, he knew, he would have trouble fighting a child. Then, she brought a hammer down, almost on top of his head. He blocked it with his blade, but felt a blade, go into his back. He Sonido'ed, and was to the right of them. He frowned. "I can't.....Get the girl out've here. No matter who I am, I will not fight a child."

He then moved at the man, and slashed at his chest. If it didn't hit, he would roundhouse kick him, in the side. He pulled back, and shot some more Bala. After that, ha plunged his blade into the ground, and swung up, bringing up some rocks. He grabbed a huge one, and threw it. As it neared him, Abel took a defensive. It was unlike him, but he could tell, the rock wasn't going to stop this guy.

Luke was nearly speechless when the hollow said he wouldn't fight unless the girl was taken out of the fight. A hollow with a conscience? Who would have guessed! it almost made Luke laugh..however..he had dealt with so many types of people that such a bizarre event didn't strike him dumbfound like it would have others. This was definitely a rare case..but in all of Luke's years he had seen it's type before. Luke batted at the bala with skill and parried the blade as it came for him. However when the man went to kick him in the face Luke dipped his blade over while still being cross-parried against the man's sword and put the tip of his sword in the path of the leg. He'd either not kick..or have some real injuries before the fight truely began.

Lisa tore through the rocks the man hurled at Luke after their little sword clash as she dashed to Luke's side. she was as surprised as he was..but she wasn't even looking as though that were the case. She could already feel Luke's intentions..being his doll had advantages like that..she knew he was going to do it to make the hollow fight more.

And so it was. Lisa returned to her sealed state and the Katana that was his doll Forger Lisa was now in his hand. This limited Luke from being able to combat forge..but he wouldn't need that for this battle..he could feel the difference between them..so even if the man could keep up physically..Luke would only need to crank up the spiritual output in order to win.

But Luke didn't rush in to attack as was his style. He broke his usual way of fighting and merely made a 'come and get me' motion with his free hand. This hollow had morals..that made him unique. Perhaps thats why he had a "Boss". The person giving him orders must have also seen this unique feature and thought it was very valuable to whatever his goal was.

"When we finish this fight.. you are going to explain what you ment by your "boss" Hollow. That is my condition for limiting my own power to abide by your morals. Otherwise we shall crush you at full power and end this before you get to even care."

He said it flatly and it was indeed going to happen. Luke never made empty threats. this man was going to tell him what he wanted to know..or he was going to enter a realm of pain he didn't understand or even be capable of imagining..morally, physically, and mentally.

Abel stopped the kick, before he would not be able to walk. He moved back, looking at the surprised look on the mans face. Why would he be surprised by that? I'm not so crazy, that I would attack a child. I know some people who would.... Abel brought up his blade, before smiling again. "You're a Bount." Abel had figured it out, when the girl had dissapeared. "Well, I guess, I can't hold back. And no. My Boss isn't the reason I wouldn't fight the girl. Plus, go to hell. I ain't telling you anything, other than that."

Abel plunged his blade into the ground, and said, "Acuérdate de los días, de Memoria." He was then cloaked, in his own Rietsu. When it cleared, Abel had gained a skull like mask, and a black cloak. His sword, was now a scythe. He laughed, before moving in, and slicing down, hoping to tear the Bount, in half. After, he moved back, and charged another Cero. He poured some extra energy into it, making it more powerful, than the the one he had fired before.
