gathering... soon to be pawns... [karakura town]

mortus stepped out of the portal from huecomendo, into karakura town, followed by charles. ''so, eat do we do now? he said''

Charles was confused. "Huh? No, we don't eat now. Please don't use Gonzui while we're here. After all, this is a mere collection mission. Now, we'll start over there, at the jail."

''i meant ''what''. good idea though, i like your thinking.'' mortus slapped charles on the back playfully. ''allrighty, to the jail we go. do we just grab prisoners and toss'em into a portal to a cell? say, it would look natural for us to pretend to be old coot and his grandson.''

Charles chuckled slightly. "We need to find those who are spiritually awakened. Use your pesquisa, and find them. Then tell me their cell numbers. I'll be keeping a lookout for any other guys. While you're using pesquisa, shinigami and the like can detect us. Please hurry."

[topic now open to invasion]

mortus scurried in the prison and used pesquisa to find every inmate with spiritual awareness, temporarilly hiding his reiatsu while memorizing each relevant cell numbe. when finished he would then scurry back out to charles, cloaking his reiatsu as he went.

"Ah, I see. Alright, now we need to look on the death penalty list. Can you create bones small enough to pick the warden's door? The list should be on the personal computer in there. I have the intelligence necessary to hack it, so all we need to do is get into the room" said Charles after hearing the numbers. "This shouldn't be too hard. The worst is yet to come." Suddenly, the room was filled with flashing red lights. "Oops, forgot about the cameras." A horde of policemen came swarming. "Mortus... now you can eat."

[Hint: use gonzui (basically inhale their souls)]
[Also: both of our avatars are laughing ]

''sorry guys, laugh out loud, sluuuuurrrrppp'' mortus said as he used gonzui, to only inhale the souls of the policemen. ''ahhh, that was refreshing.'' mortus smashed the flashing red lights and cameras, then said ''i'll need to go temporarily into 1st release to grow bone, that ok?''

Charles said "Yes, just hurry. You will also need to be in first release to pick the lock on the door. Keep in mind that while you are in release, you cannot cloak your reiatsu." He was getting impatient, all these stupid humans were a problem.

mortus released his first stage, and quickly grew bone inside the lock, engaging the tumblers. he turned the lock, opening the door, and released dust sized particles from the key until nothing of it was left attached to him, the lock being filled with bone dust. he cloaked his reishi and took a peek inside the office.

Charles walked into the office, killed the surveillance officer by spearing him through the chest with his bare hand [yes, you can do that too], and accessed the computer. "Ah, here we go. At this prison, and at other across the country. The entire Japanese death penalty list. Some of these names I recoginize... hehehe... but we only need a few. There are three here, these are their names. Retrieve them, knock them out, and let's get going, we're on a limited time schedule. Good work with the door, by the way."

''thanks. soon as you can, you should wash your hands, to avoid trouble. people will wonder about us if a teenager is walking around dripping blood from one bloodsoaked arm. at least act like you are in pain, until we can escape.'' mortus walked to the door of each prisoner, temporarily went into full release form, to pick the lock in the same manner as the first. he then grabbed each prisoner, slinging them over his shoulder without difficulty. the third prisoner tried to jump mortus, who caught the man by the neck, told the man he was to be respected, and choked the prisoner with one hand into unconsciousness. turning off his release and cloaking his reishi again, he said to charles: that last man certainly would have got me if i was a regular human, lets make him the strongest of the three, i [sort of] respect him.

Charles grinned after washing his hands. "A strong one, huh? He'll have to be our AD prototype. We only need these three to create an army. After all, as your people once said, ex uno multa. He opened a garganta to the Las Noches laboratory, and stepped through, saying "Come, let's go. We have little time."

[remember to close]

mortus grinned back. he tossed the prisoners through the garganta, ran off to bend the bars of the cells the three prisoners were taken from, kick in the doors leading from there to the entrance, and smash all the cameras, to make it look like a jail break. then he entered the garganta, closing it afterward
