A New Hollow

Breath of an Adjucha

After Zataheta's meal he had changed once more, he the amount of Hollows he had consumed had changed him yet again, he was no longer the towering hideous Hollow that was a Gillian. He had evolved once more, becoming an Adjucha.

Since he had returned to his normal shape, only changing in the sense that it seemed to take on more of an armoured look, his body seemingly wrapped in bandage like material that took on the same substance as his mask, he at least had his tail again, his shape, that of an Ape.

This new strength that he could feel flowing within his body, it made him feel invincible, he felt like he could take on anything, but yet, he knew that he was not the strongest, and he could always advance in strength.

The Ape Hollow lifted himself off of the ground, stretching out his muscles and getting himself ready for a hunt, activating his Paquete Líder. For a few moments, his muscles expanded before compressing a little, he appeared to be a bit larger then before but he still kept his general agile body.

Unfortunately his natural environment of the Menos Forest was not where he could find the meat that he wanted, it had to be here, these hunting grounds. He spent a few minutes thinking and he looked around, trying to see if he could spot something, a meal.

An idea came to him, he would try and ambush this time, he would wait for some Hollow to approach him, and then attack and consume it, this was not perfect, but it would be interesting at least. With his claws, he shifted some sand to the sides, making space before getting in and covering most of his body in it, leaving plenty of space for him to see something advance.

Many hours pass, nothing, a few hours longer, still nothing, he kept trying this hopeless tactic for a couple of hours more, and this time, he was able to see two Hollows coming close to him, one seemed to be an intelligent Gillian while the other was an Adjuha much like himself, so he remained still, waiting for the perfect chance.

As the Adjucha got close, it seemed to be some kind of Lizard, much like his ally that he had made a while ago, Ryoma, but this seemed to be stronger, its own mask showing a horrific sight as the masks for completely part of them, there was now mouth behind, just Hollow. With it finally getting close enough, the Ape Hollow burst through the sand, jumping up and spraying it everywhere.

Zataheta launched himself upon the Lizard, grabbing onto it and piercing it's hide with his claws, digging deep into what would be its stomach. This wouldn't last long as his claws would shift, pulling them apart to the sides and ripping the stomach open.

Black ichor soaked the sand as the Lizard collapsed, Zataheta turned his gaze to the Gillian who was getting ready to charge the Ape. As it moved forward, bringing out those arms to slash at him, Zataheta jumped up to one of the hands, wrapping his clawed hands around the wrist, digging them in a bit as he spun and launched himself up into the air, directly to it's mask.

The torn wrist of the Gillian gushed blood and kept it from bringing that hand up to guard, the other tried to cover it's mask but there was not enough time. The Ape Hollow brought it's knees up to his chest and kicked off of the mask, sending the Gillian's now shattered mask back, resulting in the Gillian falling over, into the sand.

Zataheta launched himself from the sand once more, jumping up and landing on the Gillian before finally tearing what remained of it's face to shreds. He had a new meal, he had something to eat, something to empower him. With this feast, he started to relax, consuming each and every bit of the two Hollow that he hid to catch, acting as some kind of trap door Hollow whose hunger was as endless as his drive for his dream.
