Unto Madness: Those Who Dwell In The Night

The Story Thus Far: Whilst Lautlos's fight with Yhwach ended in the most logical way, the events that followed were something nobody could foretell. You see, llocated on the other end of, where Lautlos retreated to survive the fight with Yhwach, stood a black silhouette. This silhouette, clearly a denizen of the aforementioned location, was the only means of survival for Lautlos. Thus, without a second thought, Lautlos made use of his ability and the denizen's existence to prolong his life. Though, little did they both know, that there actions on that day, would affect the outcome of today.

Standing erect, with his back to the ruins of Hueco Mundo, Mukei looked out over what he assumed would become the base for the Noctem Kingdom. Filled with anxiety and complete and utter boredom, he gave off the atmosphere that he did not want to be here. Though, forced with the duty of picking the location of his Kindgom solely because he is the leader, he had no real room for obligation.

"Mukei, you know that you could just push the work off onto somebody else, right?" Coming from behind him, the voice of one of his subordinates rang out.

"I'm well aware, but what kind of King would abandon his duties?"

Nodding silently to his leader's words, the specter in which stood behind Mukei vanished before the Shinigami could even catch a glimpse of him. Though, with his habit of assimilating other people's habit, he could tell who it was just by how his body reacted. So, as the feint steps of his comrade vanished within the distance, Mukei called out. "I'd like for you to go fetch Tsukikage. I'll be needing his dimensional expertise to figure out the dimensions of this kingdom."

Again, nodding as he vanished into the distance, the silhouette removed his presence as he did his King's bidding.

"I'm not quite sure how I should make it looks though. I'd like to say we're on a strict budget, but spiritual particles don't cost anything. It's size depends solely on how much energy Kuroi and Tenshi have. So, I think it'll be best for them to hold back. I wouldn't want this thing being in view from virtually every end of Hueco Mundo."

Turning his attention from the vast land of sand before him, Mukei shifted his gaze within the direction of a feint presence. Upon raising his eyebrow, he realized that the dark nature of the presence was that of one of his subordinates. However, it seemed to slowly be consumed by a much greater force.

"Mukei! We have a problem. Kogata says that Meigetsu has vanished off Player List!"

Appearing out of the corner of Mukei's eye, the specter in which has spoken to him earler began to flail frantically.

"To have dispatched Meigetsu, this person is clearly strong. If you don't mind, I'll take care of this myself. I kind of hate this whole carpenter thing. It's boring the fucking hell out of me."

Pushing off the ground, Mukei shot into the air. The speed in which his body moved, caused his entire figure to be removed from sight like the light in a dead bulb.

"Kssh.....Kssh.....Kssh....Can you.....hear me?....Kssh....Mu....kei....Kssh."

"Yes, I can hear you Kogata. Can you set a way-point to Meigetsu's last co-ordinance? I doubt they'll still be there, but I can always investigate the crime scene!"

Nodding his head as he spoke, Mukei planted his feet firmly upon the ground, and came to a halt.

Within a few minutes, a rectangular screen formed in front of Mukei's face. Decorated with red, green, blue, and brown, he accurately defined the characteristics of the land. it also, as per Mukei's request, pinpointed his desired location. Though, instead of being comprised of the primary additive colors, the destination was magenta. Curious as to why it was like this, Mukei swiped his hand over the triangle in which occupied the position.

"Kogata...I think you got the location wrong. This isn't the spiritual pressure of a single being. This is the spiritual pressure of seven people within a single spot."

Beeping in response to her King's words, Kogata began to refresh the refurnish the rectangular construct in front of Mukei's face. This, separating the magenta triangle into seven additive colored triangles, confirmed what Mukei already realized.

"Kogata. I'm going to have to call you back...."

Swiping his hand in front of his person, Mukei generated a large construct of spiritual energy. Taking the shape of an enormous hand, the spiritual energy expanded until it completely engulfed Mukei's person in it's palm. Following it's massive growth, silver bullets collided with it's intangible surface. Bouncing off as if they struck iron, the bullets danced to the floor. Mukei, snickering, parted the fingers of the hand so as to look at those whom attacked him.

"Who the fuck are you guys?"

Answering, in the darkest of tones, the unseen specters spoke out. "Who are we? Night Walkers."
