Ranbu no Izayoi

”High, without a doubt.” Izayoi responded to Esben, taking note of his work and nodding in approval. Once more, the doubt that someone who openly admitted he was a spy was actually part of SEED diminished. It seemed he really was just excessively eccentric. ”Not the very highest floor of the manor, but likely the floor directly beneath it.”

Entering via side gate allowed Team Kirin better access to the castle’s walls. Night began to fall, covering their climb as they began the ascent.

By jump, wing, and rope, the party scaled the exterior of Mizutani Tane’s manse. About halfway up, they reached a terrace upon which they regrouped, clambering up and taking a moment to catch their breath before continuing forward into the building itself.

Opening the sliding door from terrace to manor interior was where their good fortune ran out, however. By complete, contrived coincidence, the first to open the door was met face-first with two surprised thugs clutching a pack of Valheimr cigarettes, evidently skiving off duty to smoke. Even as Izayoi drew her wakizashi to slam it into one guard’s throat, the other let loose a panicked scream, drawing alarm bells not five seconds later even as Izayoi finished him off.

”Damnation!” She hissed, replacing the short blade in her hand with the long one and starting to stalk forward. ”The element of surprise is lost. Come! We find the stairs and advance!”

On their charge forward, the Kirins would be met with scattered resistance, easily dispatched in twos and threes, largely armed with katanas and knives, though a few carried Valheimr firearms. Evidently, it seemed security coverage was lessened on this high of a floor.

“Where in the hells did these people come from?!” One thug screamed in panic as he slammed the bolt back on his rifle.

“Most of our lads are below! We need to hold out until they can make it up!”

Upon reaching a staircase leading both up and down, the Kirins would be met by a firing line of a dozen men and women kneeling with rifles, forcing the party into cover and evasion. Izayoi scowled as she deflected a stray round with her blade, unable to handle so many riflemen head on at once in her diminished state.

Not two floors up, Mizutani Tane raised an eyebrow as her tea time was interrupted by the sound of gunfire and screaming.

So how crippled do I have to make Iraleth now

Renar Hagen

The dragon spun with Renar clutching onto a scale for dear life. And by some miracle, he held on. As soon as Thrinax stopped, Renar took a moment to center himself and clear the dizziness from his head before resuming his climb. He was nearly atop the beast's back when it spoke.

And oh, was its speech inane. Display valor?! He was climbing a godsdamned dragon! Renar grit his teeth and resisted the ever-so-tempting urge to scream back at Thrinax, instead focusing on keeping his grip on the dragon as he reached its back and it shifted around, swinging its foreleg and tail.

When he came out of his brace, Renar stood and dashed as quickly as he could atop Thrinax's back. There wasn't a doubt in his mind that the dragon would do something to dislodge him, and soon. Which was why as soon as he made it halfway across the beast, he suddenly shifted leftward and leapt. Renar's jump carried him across to the dragon's wing, where he barely managed to catch onto it. One hand came down to unsheathe his sword, and he started slamming it down tip first, aiming to pierce the wing membrane to deal injury.

"Oh, gods be damned." Izayoi buried her face in one palm as she beheld Ciradyl walking into Mizutani's manse. She'd been suspicions ever since Ciradyl actually turned down a chance to ensure the crime lord was purged once and for all, but Izayoi had trusted Ciradyl enough to believe it was for a good reason. A mistake, evidently.

"Ciradyl despises Mizutani as much as I. The woman once tried to have her abducted in broad daylight. Believe me when I say that whatever she is doing, it is likely towards the same goal. As to why she insists on going alone and not coordinating this, well. I would be as curious as all of you are on this point." Izayoi glowered, not looking very pleased at all. Ciradyl was going to get a piece of her mind when all was said and done.

Imir help her, whatever Ciradyl was up to had better be worth Izayoi attempting to cover and explain for her on this end.

"Regardless, it seems our timetable has been accelerated, should we desire to have Miina question our target before we slay her."

Salvator Rasch

All of the questions only raised further concerns in Salvator's mind, but he knew better than to voice those at this point. After all, it wasn't as if the commander unit was going to actually listen to a grunt. That data was probably worth more than their entire squad, he'd admit. Still didn't make the situation any more palatable.

At least they were being properly outfitted, and-

A loud interruption. And the kid was alive. And talking. Christ in Void, he was too old and too underpaid for this shit. At least it didn't seem like there would be any negotiations for her to fuck up this time. Really, Kleo and diplomacy should be kept as far away from each other as possible. Fine. He'd try and sort this out as best he could before they deployed. Was the least he could do, for the sake of the squad.

"None further from me." Salvator replied to the commander unit. At some point as the briefing ended, he would turn to Kleo, tilting his head in the direction of a corner of the room.

"Kid. Kleo. A word?" He spoke quietly. "I don't have your file, but I can make some educated guesses. You get press-ganged into this? My condolences." Salvator said sincerely before his voice hardened. "I get it. You'd rather not be here, and you don't trust all the shitty, spooky aliens, myself included. Doesn't change facts, though. Like it or not, you're stuck here for the moment. Now, bitch out the commander unit all you want, I don't care. Hell, I probably agree with you most of the time. But if you piss off our support, who're probably all or mostly non-humans, given our track record, the same way you did with the rebels on the last drop? You're pissing off people we're entrusting our lives to. So if only to cover your own ass, just don't be a prick to them this time, would you? Not saying to hold hands and make nice, just don't piss them off. Appreciated."

[Main Story] Bleach: New Gen

Nakajima Ageha

So, this was the world of the living. Loud, noisy, garish, and confusing. Small wonder all of the recently dead she'd met were off, some moreso than others. Ageha brushed off Mei's obvious hazing, taking the situation in.

Sealed to a quarter of their strength. Annoying. What was the difference between them being too slow or weak to intercept a Hollow in time to eat a human, and possibly harming some from their spiritual pressure?

Two on the water. The pacifist was already dropping down towards them. She'd leave him to it. Multiple hollows emerging from the ground. Her Shikai wasn't exactly the best at dealing with that, not in the open. Ageha could feel Tetsu Moya's displeasure at her regarding the thought, but she brushed it off. They'd had this conversation more than once already. He would learn to live with it, because she wasn't budging on this argument. Nonetheless, she continued looking over the situation.

The largest Hollow in the area was climbing...some big metal thing. Whatever that was. Regardless, she'd found her target.

"The large one is mine. I will help reinforce when I'm finished with it." Ageha stepped forward, and started plummetting full speed towards the crane, sword drawn.

"Rend and bite, Tetsu Moya!" Ageha released her Zanpakuto moments before she made impact, counting on the increased strength and larger blade from her release as she slammed her dadao down in a vertical cleave straight for the Hollow's mask.

Ranbu no Izayoi

Two days later, the Kirins gathered at Hien's request once more. With the addition of another person. Seated at Hien's right at the table was a scruffy, ragged man in an eyepatch and tricorne, clad in a crimson coat far more elaborate than the rest of his getup.

"Thank you for coming. It took some doing, but I believe we've found a solution to your transport woes. May I introduce the good Captain Bikke, whom I'll turn the floor over to."

"Thank ye kindly, milord Hien." Bikke grinned, lighting a pipe taking a few puffs before continuing. "Now, I be hearin' from our mutual friend here that ye be in need of transport. Yarr, I'll keep it short: got a crew and ship in me possession, but there be a frigid wench in charge of the local n'eer do wells. Mizutani Tane be her name, heard a few of ye be familiar already." A pointed glance in Izayoi's direction, who glowered at the obvious pirate.

"Me and me boys been running errands fer ol' Hien here fer quite some time. Valheimr be a pain in our arses too. But given that we ain't quite official registered sailors with th' local authorities, we pay a little helper's fee to that resident crime lordess t' take care of that problem, as it were. Though it seems that arrangement ended on her part. Cunt be demandin' exorbitant fees just tae let us stay in port, threatened to tip Valheimr warships off if'n we made a break fer it." He leisurely blew out a few smoke rings before going on.

"Yer all seemin' like smart lads 'n lasses, can see what I'm gettin' at here. Gimme Mizutani Tane's head, an' ye'll get free passage tae Costa del Sol. Yarr."

"And there you have it. Apologies for the runaround, but there truly are no better options." Hien gave a rueful grin. "We don't have much on the woman's movements, but she still lives exactly where you knew her last." His sentence was punctuated with a glance in Izayoi and Ciradyl's direction.

"Understood." Izayoi bowed her head to Hien before turning to face Galahad and the others.

"Her manse is in the trader's district, to the southwest of where we are. Our best chance of actually catching her there will be to assault under cover of night. Unlike with the prison, we've no further information in terms of blueprints or inside information. Any more intelligence will have to be gathered on-site. We ought to depart at sunset."

___

Garishly opulent and several stories tall, Mizutani Tane's mansion stood out among the spires of the market district, a walled garden blocking off the riffraff from the manse itself. As they approached from a side street, Izayoi scowled up towards it.

"For years, I had put serious thought into simply walking through the front door and putting everyone within to the sword. But that was back when I was unassailable. We will need more forethought than that." Her gaze turned towards Galahad and Esben, being the two other main tacticians of the group thus far.

"As I am aware, there are multiple points of entry once we clear the walls. Either we scale the exterior, or infiltrate through a side entrance. That, or we do as my younger self would have and charge through the front, as foolhardy an idea as that is."
