The Freak

Rikku was still stumbling around a bit in the science department as she got used to her new body and was still internally conflicted as she came to terms with the fact she existed all of a sudden. Her programmed mental state started to kick in at this point and the only thing she could think of after it did was that she needed to find her superiors and start taking orders.

Eventually she wandered out into the artificial sun of Las Noches' fortress dome, though she only knew that because of the knowledge implanted in her mind, and blinked several dozen times trying to adjust to it with her hand shading her face. Someone else in her position might have thought it beautiful since it was her first time seeing a sun but she was merely annoyed it was stinging her eyes.

Just as she finished adjusting to the brightness someone passed her by. Only for her to grab them and shake them violently as she bombarded them with questions in regard to directions. It seemed in the process of making her obedient without question they forgot to leave in her memory a map of the Arrancar's home.

It told her out of a sudden fear since it didn't recognize her but then tried to attack her since she was so rude to it. The poor beast was dead without any effort as she kept stumbling off in the direction it had mention while her skin, which had turned a very dark color a moment ago, returned to normal and the broken piece of sword the stupid creature had used fell from the sky behind her..having snapped in half on her body.

He wandered through the sands of hueco mundo. He never truly cared for paying any attention to his duties to his father as his fraccion. Why should he at this point, his father had exiled him as a child and only taken him back under the means that he had grown stronger. It made sense in the view of their race, yet to do something to one so young. His sister was a good reason to try to keep his duties up though, she had always hated their father for what he stood for, yet he didn't mind truly what his father stood for, he cared for how it affected his self and her well being. He stopped walking through the sands when he felt a burst of reiatsu, not that uncommon within the dessert considering the world it's self. To bad he couldn't tell the general direction of the energy or the strength of it, he had long ago learned it was better to be capable of dealing with the threat at hand or being able to run than to be capable of detecting it and not reacting.

He had nearly finished his entire cycle of walking the sands around the fortress, his last destination the science division that they controlled. He took these walks to clear his mind, enjoy the serene peace that they brought, have the occasional fight, and to inspect the fortress for any damages that would require repairs. He took it upon himself to keep what he hoped would be his future throne in tact and relatively undamaged and guarded. Yet he knew very well he was more likely to perish before his father ever would. He noticed a broken blade and a fading arrancar, shaking his head he just continued. He however did notice a trail in the sand and noticed an arrancar wondering off in a direction ahead of himself. Peering up into the moon of the fortress that casted light upon there world like the living worlds suns he sonido'd in front of the being.

"So were you the one who killed the arrancar back there?" His hands rested upon his hips, away from his sword hilt near the back of his head. Yet the stature he held puffed out his chest slightly, allowing the metal wings and pillar like diamond upon his chest stand out more, his cowl blowing slight in the breeze from his settling after sonidoing. His skin seemed to radiate a glow under the light that the moon gave off, yet his eyes still seemed to be shrouded within the darkness that surrounded them. He calmly waited for the response from the being, half expecting to be attacked on the spot, more so expecting an answer if they knew who exactly he was.

"Do you see or feel any other creature nearby that could have?" Rikku said with just a hint of annoyance before her new brain registered that this was the son of the king. Not that she got any more polite after realizing it. In fact he puffed up as if expecting a fight which was further annoying because she had no reason to fight the son of the king and so she simply kept walking. She needed to find the King or the Primera. The king's son was not on her list of superiors even though he was royalty which was probably a mistake by the scientists due to the fact he "had" been exiled and thus was overlooked. Not that she was aware of such a mistake.

"I have no time for you or anyone else." She said as she finished passing him, "I need only the king or the primera." and she simply kept walking. She was captured, mutilated, brainwashed, and trained for the sole reason of leading the Exequias and taking orders. She didn't really care about anything else. If he stopped her she would kill him too. That is the way the world worked, at least in Rikku's crafted mindset, and that was all there was too it. There was no grey just black and white. Kill or be killed.

He kept his pace with her, yet instead of actually moving his feet he was sonidoing backwards. "The king or primera you say." He put his hand up to his chin and looked up into the sky. "Well let's see... Tara shouldn't be too busy per say. But father might be. Considering he typically would kill someone for interrupting him. I think you might be better off with the primera, but finding father would probably be easier. So weighing your options should be that hard." The entire time he spook he kept up with her sonido'ing. He didn't truly care that he was being ignored, he was more surprised by the arrancar showing the guts to ignore him. Yet it wasn't all to surprising that most arrancars didn't except him back into there social hierarchies. He had been exiled and tried to fight his way back into his fathers favor and loss, the only reason he lived was because he had shown he had actually developed power beyond that of when he was a child.

"OH! In response to your earlier sarcastic answer, I can't truly feel spiritual pressure to well. I actually found you and the body through traditional tracking methods. I had just happened to be on a walk around the complex when I stumbled across the body and then boom there you are too." He sort of talked with his hands obviously more relaxed with the person even though they hadn't done much. "So who are you" He stated the question bluntly with a grim face.
