The return trip (Sons of War)

[Sol]

Sol was the first one to step out of the garganta, looking around the Soul Society.  "Hrm... Been a while since I was here.." he muttered for anyone nearby to hear.  He paused for a moment, wondering if they should try to deal with the door guard.  He... didn't look too bright.... Sol sighed, this could take all day.  He raised his hand and fired a Cero into the sky.  Between that and the 6 reiatsu signals lieutenant level and higher popping up all at once, he figured that'd get their attention quicker then the door guard.

[Yuiha]

Yui walked out of the garganta. She was the second one out after Lord Sol. Yui walked up and stood beside Sol. Yui was very scared about this situation. She was clutching her hands which was something she often did when she was nervus.

"Lord Sol, are you scared? This worries me terribly."

Yui then looked down at her chest were she saw the Sons of War emblem she had sewn on it. Her heart filled with pride for who she was and who she served. This eased her neves a little, but not that much.

[Kun-to]

Kun-to stood still and at attention as she exited the garganta.

[Sol]

"Yuiha, look sharp.  Appearances are everything.  It's okay be nervous all you want right now, but just make sure you look professional.  Besides, you were just here like... an HOUR ago..." he said, waiting for the rest of his people to show up.

[Dyne]

Dyne silently emerged from the garganta with his zanpakutou and an FN SCAR rifle that fired kidou rounds strapped on his back.

[DeuxDeux]

Deux emerged next from the garganta and noticed Yuiha seemed nervous, maybe she needed special pills. Walking up behind her he placed a hand on her shoulder "I have something to ease your nerves, interested?"

[Dyne]

Dyne chuckled.

"Your dosages can knock out a bull elephant. Yui's no good to us if you turn her into a zombie or dead weight."

[Yuiha]

Yui looked at Sol at what she assumed was his attempt to comfort her, but she wasn't nervus for herself.

"Sir I'm not nervus for myself. I'm nervus for you and Deux. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."

Yui then looked to Deux. He was so sweet, in his own was. Deux offering to share his drugs was no small thing. His drugs were his everything.

"Thanks, Deux, but I think I'll be fine, and Dyne is right if I took what ever it is you're offering I'd be of very little use to you."

Yui put her hands to her side and tried to look as serious as possible. She didn't want the soul society to take her and her group lightly.

[Kun-to]

Kun-to sighed and whispered, "Worrying is for cowards. I know for a fact that Lord Sol needs nothing to worry about becasue he is the strongest of us all, and if he dies we all die at his side, and if Deux were to die during what should be peaceful negotiations, then he is a failure and not as strong as I was told to belive." She looked ahead and waited for someone form this place.

"I put forward that Yuiha is too soft." She said bluntly and quietly offering her critique of her fellow soldier.

[Yuiha]

Yui really didn't care for Kun-to's attitude. She thought she had all the answers, but in reality she didn't have a clue.

"Kun-to worrying is part of any beings basic make up. Worrying help in self preservation. I am not worried that Sol doesn't have the power to fight and defeat shinigami, but we are vastly out numbered. We are like a pack of wolves surrounded by a million buffalo. No matter our strength their numbers will win."

Yui balled her hands up into fist and tried to contain herself before anyone showed up.

"If you think I'm soft then we will find out back at the base. I'll show you if you think other wise. I'll reduce you to scrap metal."

Yui placed a sickly sweet smile on her face. She was being a total bitch right now. She wouldn't really fight with Kun-to, but her attitude stunk.

[Dyne]

"Settle down, Yui. Trash like that deva, Gemnis, singlehandedly brought Yuh and the Soul Society to their knees. Numbers are meaningless."

At the forefront of Dyne's mind was the disgust at how long it was taking for even the first-responder shinigami patrols to show up. Would he need to seek them out and kill a few to get someone's attention?

[Yuh]

Yuh appeared before the small group after feeling the reiatsu signatures suddenly appearing and seeing the cero fired into the sky.  Upon arrival, his eyes were directed to a familiar figure, Sol.  "Hmm.  I didn't expect to see you here.  But it explains what you've been doing all this time, and why you weren't in the Demons' realm with the rest of the Arrancar."

[Millie]

Ittou, having always been there and ignoring the bickering going on, continued to ignore said bickering as Yuh made his entrance. Upon hearing the Head Captain's words, Ittou then decided that this was a matter best left to Lord Sol to deal with, and so kept his silence, idly standing by his Lord's side if needed.

[Sol]

"I wasn't in the Demon's Realm with the rest of the arrancar," he paused, not quite sure how he should finish that sentence.  After a moment's hesitation, he finally went with,  "because it wasn't really my responsibility to be there." He gave a slight shrug.  "In any case, that was five years ago when everyone still knew Shanks, the Ex-First Espada.  I'm not really going by that name these days... A bit too much baggage for my taste.  Just call me Sol, Commander of the Sons of War Mercenary group.... Which.. brings me to why we're here.  See, we're an independent group, but sitting at home doesn't pay the bills so to speak, and it gets awfully boring.  So, we're seeing where we can find work and well... Where better to start then with the big boys.  So that's why we're here."

[DeuxDeux]

Deux let out a small cough to break up the incredibly long silence that felt like days. <_________________________________<
