When everything was prepared, it was time to strike. "Alright everyone, I want you all on your best behavior. Also don't forget, if you feel threatened in any way call one of us and try your best to flee. But most importantly, be there for one another" Korosensei told the class. The kids armored themselves with a paintball guns. The flashlights and mirrors team carried extra small mirrors and flashlights for their specific job. When things were in order, everyone headed outside to begin the assault. "Team bait let's move" directed Sugino. The small group made their way swiftly into the forest. Following them was team flashlights\mirrors. They stayed close but not too close to team bait. Ichigo, Rukia and Korosensei waited on the school grounds, ready for battle. "Here goes nothing" said Ichigo hoping the plan would go smoothly.

Team bait searched the forest for anything out of the ordinary. They made plenty of chatter and noise to attract the hollow. They yelled, hollered, threw rocks, anything to attract attention. After a few minutes, it looked like nothing would happened. The group stopped to think things over. "Looks like this hollow is too chicken to come out. I'd be scared too if I had to fight Korosensei" commented Okajima Taiga. "Who said I wasn't coming out?" A shadow had approached the group, "You all are foolish for trying to look for me" it hissed. The bait had finally worked. "Signals!" Sugino ordered. The group turned to flee as they blew they whistles they had on them to alert everyone else. The hollow gave chase and went after them. Its speed not giving the team much time to get to safety. Team bait ran as best they could away from the danger. The hollow sped forward and cut off Sugino, Kanzaki, and Yada. "Your souls are mine now" it growled as it rasied its tentacles. It reached out when suddenly a beam of light shot it in the face. The hollow screeched, giving the three students time to flee.

Phase 2 was set in motion. Team lights and mirrors moved in. They flickered their lights at the hollow's face and used their mirrors to bounce the light off of one another. All the flashing lights confused the hollow. It made the illusion of there being more students than the hollow counted. "How many of these brats are there?" the hollow asked in confusion. The hollow attempted to grab one of the students, but when it came close another beam of light would grab its attention. The bombardment of lights made the hollow unstable and unable to keep upright. The team continued to work the dazed hollow towards the end of the forest.

Once team bait had successfully returned to the school grounds, team paintball went into action. "Bet you I can land a hit before you Terasaka" bet Karma readying his paintball gun. Terasaka scoffed, "You're on red head" he agreed. Each member of team paintball joined up with a member of team flashlight and mirrors. They fired their paintballs, adorning the hollow in a multitude of colors. The hollow became severely frustrated as it was hit and blinded from multiple angles. "I'll kill you all!" it roared. Both teams had made a slow retreat back to the school with the angry hollow right on their behinds.

"Good luck you guys" said Kayano.

"Do your best" cheered Nagisa.

"No backing out now" Rio reminded them.

The hollow busted out of the forest and saw the student all running. "You think this is a game!" it yelled. Rukia and Ichigo had drawn their zanpakutos. "A game you're about to lose" said Ichigo. The class ran back inside the class room. Team paintball has set themselves up at the windows to further aide in battle if needed.

"I will not be defeated by a bunch of kids and their pet octopus" said the hollow.

"I am a teacher mind you and I think you choose the wrong students and pet octopus to mess with" replied Korosensei.

Ichigo took out his ki bell. If he can get in close enough to touch the hollow, he could possibly make it visible. Although he probably wasn't fast enough. "Hey Korosensei here" Ichigo tossed the bell "you're the fastest one here. See if you can touch the hollow with it" he said. Korosenei nodded. Rukia made the first move. She struck the ground with her zanpakuto and set a flurry of ice the hollow's way. To no one's surprised, the hollow moved out of the way in time. Korosensei and Ichigo were in pursuit. Ichigo made an attack from above. His zanpakuto barely missing the hollow's tentacle. "You're still too slow soul reaper" the hollow told him as it smacked Ichigo across the open field. Korosensei came in next and tackled the hollow. He tagged it with the bell and caused a flash of light to flash. The hollow came in full view. Its mask an almost copy of Korosensei's face. Korosensei became upset at the fact. He wrapped his tentacles around the hollow and took it for a spin. The hollow slammed into the ground upon impact. "You should ashamed mocking the identity of a teacher" Korosensei scolded. Rukia and Ichigo didn't waste time and raced to attack. Korosensei tossed the ki bell back to Ichigo, "Let's show this thing what we've got" he said. Ichigo caught the bell. Both Ichigo and Rukia's attack missed. The hollow was still too fast for them. The hollow lunged at them from behind. From out of nowhere, a paintball had shot the hollow on the mask staining it in green paint.

"I've never seen anything so ugly before in my life. How about you go get yourself a makeover" Karma taunted as he stood on the roof of the classroom.

The hollow stopped to look at him. "I give you credit for hitting me, boy. But you should shut your mouth before I shut it for you" the hollow hissed at him.

Karma, of course, wasn't scared at all. "Is that supposed to scare me? I'm sorry but ugly faces don't work on me" Karma continued.

The hollow turned to go after Karma, but Korosensei had pulled it back. Ichigo and Rukia took the opportunity to cut of two tentacles. A black ooze had spurted out from the severed limbs. Korosensei released allowing Rukia to use her ice. "Somenomai! Sukishiro!" she chanted. Huge pillars of ice has surrounded the hollow and crushed it in the middle. The ice shattered causing shards cut into the hollow. The cold ice had chilled it, making its movements sluggish for a few moments. Ichigo cut into the monster with an uppercut. The hollow collided with the ground with a loud boom and a puff of dirt. Once the dust settled, it got back up, it was wounded. "I'm not done yet" it said a black ooze coming from its mask. It leapt at Ichigo, still determined. Ichigo raised up his zanpakuto to guard but before the hollow could get closer, Korosensei stepped in. He wrapped his tentacles around the hollow's neck. "Ichigo! Rukia! Now's your chance!" he said. The two nodded and attacked in unison, slicing the hollow's mask in two. The beast howled as its mask was shattered.

But, it wasn't defeated...

A mask did fall off, but it was a decoy. The true hollow's mask was revealed. It did have a small cut down the middle from the attack, but not deep enough to kill it.

"My decoy worked. You all fell for it. I was just posing as the octopus. Now let me show you what I really can do!"
