--- breaking the habit Ezekiel's assignment for the day was not the best experiment. It was still important, but its scientific merit was... nonexistent.
The Hollow snapped him out of his reverie with a loud bellow. He had managed to draw it out of populated areas, but it was giving him some slight trouble. At this rate, he would be here, battling this thing, for the next hour. Both he and the Hollow were tired from their altercations on the way to the field in rural Japan, but it was clear that Ezekiel would win. That didn't mean he wanted it to take as long as it was going to.
A quick sidestep took the Shinigami out of the path of the Hollow's claws. The beast's next attack met with Uzukama and was easily deflected. Ezekiel counterattacked, and the Hollow leapt backwards. Ezekiel broke off as well, flash stepping backwards.
He looked around the field. He couldn't see another living soul around. There was some reiatsu somewhere nearby, but the odds of the source investigating if they hadn't shown up yet seemed low in his mind. He looked back to the Hollow, which had decided to charge across the distance separating them. Raising a hand to his face, Ezekiel's Visored mask materialized on his face. His voice echoing slightly, he taunted the Hollow. "Let's see how you like this."
The Visored flash stepped around the Hollow's charge, coming to a stop beside the confused monster. He spun his scythe before swinging up at the Hollow's underbelly, wind forming from the blade and slicing up into the Hollow's chest. The increase in strength and surprise attack finished off the Hollow easily, and Ezekiel removed his mask, which promptly melted into red energy and dissipated as always.
The Shinigami ran his hand along the blade of his scythe, resealing it into a daito before sheathing it. A quick inventory of his surroundings had him feeling the reiatsu he had sensed earlier, but closer. "Hello? Somebody there? Come out!" HAN: 9

Ezekiel rested upon a tall building, smoking a cigarette and watching the polluted clouds move along the sky. He was an evil being, he has to accept this. He has fallen into an abyss and he cannot escape it. He was meant to kill, and he was meant to kill the enemy that had killed his mother...Shinigami. His zanpakuto was lazily placed next to him, as he blew smoke from his mouth, allowing the grey cloud of nicotine release. Standing up and looking down at the man whom had slain the hollow, he just simply released his reiatsu just to catch the attention of the man. He decided to toy with the man, wanting to play hide and seek. " A shinigami. My lucky day..Hello death god! Come and get me!"
He taunted the man as he walked to the center of the building, unsheathing his sword. Time to slay a blue jay..... His hate for shinigami matches any aware non-shinigami. He prepared to launch his scabbard by sho, just so he could injure the shinigami. He never fought one who could potentially use kido, unlike Kiyameru who was terrible at it, but he still could feel the lack of ability.

--- breaking the habit "Hello, death god! come and get me!"
Ezekiel groaned, sliding his sheathed sword into place on his side. His head was getting to be murder from using his Hollow mask, and he felt sluggish. He didn't need this. But, still, that reiatsu needed investigating. Damn my curiosity.
The shinigami flash stepped, landing on the roof with a slight limp and holding up a hand. Sword sheathed, right hand raised and left hand out to the side to steady himself, (and also secretly prepare to cast a defensive kido, though that wasn't quite so obvious,) he clearly wasn't looking for a fight. "My name is Ezekiel Katran, 3rd seat of the Gotei 13 Squad 12. I don't care about taunts, threats, or insults. Can we just skip to the part where you tell me who you are?" HAN: 9

Ezekiel laughed, so he didn't want to play around? No games? No Sorry! or Trouble!? No, no no no! This disappointment overflowed but died down very quickly as his playful tone became serious. He came from his hiding spot and sunk his sword in the ground, sensing the change in reiatsu from the man requesting his name. " My being is described as a Twist of Fate. I am the first, the first Ezekiel. The first to have importance, anyways. So, mister Ezekiel number two, my name is Ezekiel Hibana. The Twist of Fate." he laughed a little bit, trying to figure out why the sudden change in reiatsu. Was he on the defensive? Of course, he had to be if he was smart. He, too, prepared to use defensive Bakudo. Imagine me and you...oh yes it's true...

--- breaking the habit Ezekiel chuckled. Of all the names this stranger could have had, it was someone else with his own name. He payed attention when the sword was easily stabbed into the floor, and took a guess as to what it was. His thoughts were racing like they hadn't in ages. Ezekiel Hibana, the Twist of Fate. So, you have the reiryoku of a Shinigami, you aren't affiliated with the Gotei 13 or you would have said it, and you have a Zanpakuto. A traitor or a substitute?
Either way, something else was clear from the energy coming off this person. They had the upper hand in this confrontation. Not only was Ezekiel still drained from using Hollowfication, but this Twist of Fate seemed to be stronger on a basic level. I should've spent more of my time in Soul Society getting stronger instead of messing with Hollow masks. What if he attacks? Hmm... Bakudo 11 should do nicely to stall for time. God, my head hurts. Still, there was no guarantee that this man was going to strike out at him. "The Twist of Fate? Tell me, when did you leave the Gotei 13? That sword can't be anything but a Zanpakuto." Either this man was rogue and knew what Ezekiel meant, or the Twist of Fate was a substitute Shinigami and had no clue. Either way, his reaction would say more than his words. HAN: 9

Ezekiel laughed, so this guy was quite inquisitive, and had probably planned ahead. So they still produce prodigies over in the soul society? He thought they all became brainless demons, now this one is an intelligent devil. He was questioned by the man with the usual who are you's and where did you come from's. He yawned. "I came here ten years ago. Well, I went to America after recovering from the mercy placed upon me." he laughed, prepared to cast Seki in case the man tried firing a bakudo at him. "You can say that I am a substitute...But that would be wrong. I wasn't the one betrayed, but I am seen as a traitor." he said, keeping a grim smile on his face.
[Too lazy to use the code right now.]

--- breaking the habit Ezekiel's curiosity was rearing its head like it hadn't in ages. This other Ezekiel was such a big mystery, so cryptic about everything. He had to be studied, cataloged, observed. Such was the drain on his self-control resisting the nonstop questions running through his head - Betrayal? What's your Zanpakuto? What's with your reiryoku? Why America? Why did you say substitute? - that another voice, one he hadn't heard in some time, showed itself in his head, exacerbating his headache.
Observe? Catalog? We need to dissect him, see what makes him tick! We need to see the parts to know the whole!
Ezekiel grabbed his head, muttering to himself. "Shut up. Shut up shut up shut up. I don't need this from you right now, not again!" It took some decent willpower, but he forced his inner Hollow back down, headache abating slightly. "Sorry about that. Got an unwanted stowaway." He tapped the side of his head, indicating exactly what he meant, and continued. "So, you were telling me what you meant by betrayal?" HAN: 9

Ezekiel hadn't noticed his own race's type of reiatsu, how is this possible? How could he be so blind to the fact this man was like him? Hehehe... the Hyena's voice echoed in his head, the two must have noticed each other. He was interested in whether or not Ezekiel was actually a Visored. He stepped back and put his hand to his head. "You. You're not a regular shinigami. For you have the same type of reiatsu I possess. Call upon your mask and I will call upon mine." his reiatsu darkened and deepened, his eyes seeming more intent on forcing the information. He was completely oblivious to the question he had been asked. A moment of silence came between the two, for Ezekiel began laughing, much like a hyena.
"He~he~he~. I''m no affiliate of the soul society. In fact, if I were to step into the soul society, I'd be attacked." his irises turned black as any moment became an opportunity to summon his mask. He stood there, laughing. "It really gets to you-He~He~He~He~..." grabbing his zanpakuto with his other hand he spun it. He gazed through the spaces in between his fingers.

--- breaking the habit "Call upon your mask and I will call upon mine."
Another Visored? Ezekiel stepped back as the dark-skinned Visored started laughing and saying how he'd be attacked. He drew his Zanpakuto and held it in one hand, in the middle guard position, ready to intercept. "Can't. I just used it. Gives me a hell of a headache and stirs up that unwanted passenger I was telling you about.
Ezekiel gripped his head again as the headache resurged, slightly weaker now. It would probably be abating soon. He shook his head to dislodge the dull buzz that it presented. "You didn't answer my question. What is that betrayal you were talking about? Why would being betrayed mean you can't return to Soul Society?" HAN: 9

Ezekiel's laugh slowed and lessened, and he decided on not summoning his mask. After the man unsheathed his blade Ezekiel took offense to this and point his finger in the other Ezekiel's direction. Quickly, he cast Sai in a minor self defense before spinning his zanpakuto flung his sword into the air. It spun and then sank into the ground next to Ezekiel. He was ready to fight almost immediately and had hoped his Sai would restrain the foe. Knowing he has a great ability in kido, it would probably be strong enough to restrain him quite well. "Bakudo #1: Sho." if succeeded, he'd follow up with Hainewa to bind his body. "Don't be alarmed if I used kido. You drew your sword and I am only acting because you did as well. I technically am a rogue. I am proud to be gone from the soul society. I just want the captain commander to die. I know I cannot do it. But maybe I should make you an example if that is what you're here for." Ezekiel seemed to be on the defense, knowing if his presence is known in the soul society it would be potentially bad...Kiyameru could find him. It was America, and this was his home. He'd return to his family after this bout and resume his mundane personality.
