Thread: Forgotten Memories (sakuradoll)

Before Mitsuna had arrived at the scene Toshiro had gotten unexpectedly hurt quite a bit, along with his fukutaichou and while this was expected during missions, how they had gotten injured was not normal. Hollows did not tend to work together, especially when they were Menos Grande and yet this time they had, almost as though someone had been controlling them and pulling their strings to make them do what they wanted. Hitsugaya had tried to draw one of the Menos Grande's attention to him but as he was doing so a group of Hollows attacked him from behind and when his attention was focused on destroying them, another Menos Grande had sent a Zero shooting at him. Something he had only seen at the last minute. He didn't have time to turn to bankai because if he paused a split second the Hollows fighting him would converge and take him out. Before he knew it Matsumoto had knocked him aside, trying to make both their escapes possible but she got caught in the after effects of the blast and struck a nearby building, falling unconscious almost immediately inside the building itself. Matsumoto! Toshiro yelled as he looked over at the building that his fukutaichou had been driven through and bit his lip as he turned his attention to the Hollow that were remaining. There was no way he could take out a group of Menos Grande along with the Hollows that surrounded it by himself. Why were they working together like this? It didn't make any sense, Hollows didn't have a mind, not really. They went for people with the most spiritual energy, that was it and yet they were working as a team and lying traps, something was definitely wrong with this picture and Toshiro knew he needed to contact Soul Society. But he didn't have time at the moment. He had to survive. In the next few minutes he constantly flash stepped, using his sword to take out at least ten Hollows before he had to avoid another Zero from a Menos Grande and kept flash stepping until he grew tired, wondering how long he could do this for. There had to be some sort of solution. Bankai! Hitsugaya said and when the smoke cleared he had ice wings on his back and an icy dragon at his side. He used his wings to raise himself up into the air and took out a communication device. This is Hitsugaya-taichou of the 10th Division requesting backup to our current location. Matsumoto is unconscious and the rest of our team needs medical assistance. He avoided a Hollow that appeared before him and ducked as one behind him tried to slice him in half, making the two Hollows take each other out for the time being but in the process dropped the communication device. Damn. Toshiro used his wings to transport him around and managed to take out another ten Hollows but more just kept coming and he was growing tired and the Menos Grande were still here. The situation wasn't looking too good. And then he realized that the Hollows had lured him into a secluded area and he looked around to see that five Menos Grande were surrounding him along with tons of regular Hollow above him to cut off any escape attempts. Hitsugaya's eyes widened as he saw the glowing red balls appear at their mouths and instantly shot downward, hoping to cut the damage in half if he managed to avoid at least some of the Zeros that were bound to come. They came and his wings caught most of the blasts, which destroyed the ice, causing it to shatter but one Zero caught him full in the shoulder and Hitsugaya cried out as he was slammed into the pavement of the ground beneath him. The after effects of the blast caused him to pass out and he wondered if this was the end for him. He'd never expected to go out like this...the last thing he saw was a girl standing above him and a dragon of fire...
