"Who do you think you are, threatening the greatest Arrancar scientist ever known to Arcomovani?" the white robed figure asked the young boy in front of him. He took a small capsule full of something from his coat. "I don't have time for your insolence." then he threw the small capsule he had in his hand at the boy. "Hope you can find a way to cure yourself of the Desana Virus, dumbsh%&!!!" and he was suddenly gone. the boy was left standing for a couple of seconds before the Virus began to take effect. As it spread, a man walked up and motioned for a small group to bring a stretcher, and he was carried to the nearest town for an antidote, which just so happened to be the same small town that the group was gathered at.<br/><br/><span style="color: #40FF00">(any real disease this represents was completely unintentional. the virus renders the victim motionless until they receive treatment or starve to death.)</span><br/><br/>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/>As Masahide lowered his fist, trying not to listen to what he knew he would eventually have to internally fight, a voice rang out from across the room.<span style="color: #00FFFF">"I have found you!"</span>The Hedgehog was the first to turn his head. "And who the hell are you?" he asked impudently. Rukia was much more understanding, and far less arrogant "Aren't you the one we saw get kidnapped by that Espada? but how did you get away? you certainly don't seem capable of killing him... no offense, really, it's just... your spiritual pressure is too hard to read." She turned to Masahide, who had finally gotten a hold of himself. "Can you feel anything or is your... other self in control of that?"<br/><br/>He appeared to be thinking for a moment, then said "I've got a crazy idea. hold on... now where did I put that badge?" he rummaged through his pants pocket, found the combat pass, and brought it up to his eye level. "Alright guys, if I'm right, we each have an item in our possession that signifies our respective powers. am I correct in assuming such?" he asked. Rukia gave him a confused look. "What are you getting at? I don't see how-"<br/><br/>Sonic interrupted her, "I know what he's planning, and it's got several drawbacks. believe me, a good friend of mine succumbed to it completely, and she was never the same afterwards. But... If you really want to lose yourself to that, I won't stop you." At this point Rukia's curiosity, probably along with everyone else's, was peaked. "So what is it he's trying to do?" She asked. Sonic paused for a moment, fidgetting nervously. Masahide answered for him "I was planning on losing contact with the side of me that knows anything about the real world. If what Sonic said is true, it wouldn't last forever, but I might lose some of my personality." Rukia was shocked "You IDIOT!!! Even if you<span style="font-style: italic">did</span>lose touch with your... reality... It's not a good idea, It's outright ludicrous!!! jeez, using that should be a last resort in combat, NOT an 'I'll do this to get a spiritual pressure reading' thing done on a whim!" At this point Frahlah was pushed aside as a stretcher was brought in, carrying a young boy with a deadly looking scythe on his back who didn't appear to be able to move.<br/><br/>"Yo! get this kid the cure for the Desana Virus, stat! he was attacked by an Arrancar." A man shouted. "Who was it that attacked him?" the nearest person asked. "A man by the name of Sayzel Apporo Granz."<br/><br/>Several gasps were heard, and Rukia muttered "No... Sayzel's dead... isn't he?"
