The crowd of Hollows that had gathered wasn’t the problem. That had been dealt with swiftly by liberal application of brute force. No, the problem lay in cleaning up the mess. Normally, John’s minder would have been able to sedate him, and force him to revert to his more “human” form Instead, what had happened, was that the boy had thrown his minder at a brick wall, and had escaped. The Consecro had underestimated the boy 0 he was immensely powerful, but his lack of control forced his superiors to look down on him. To think he wasn’t worth their time. Well, that was certainly being proved wrong.
John leapt from building to building with surprising speed – for a being his size – grunting as he did so. Given his height and weight, it was now wonder he left footprints wherever he landed, and pushed off from. He didn’t know where he was going, and he didn’t know why. All that he had to go on was the instinct that told him to push onwards, never looking back. Even when he leapt off of a building and landed on his feet, he seemed to show no signs of letting up, as he – literally – hit the ground running. He was a behemoth – not an unstoppable one, but a commendably tough one.
A Shinigami posted to the area attempted to stop him – given the circumstances, it was easy to judge him as a threat. However, he hadn’t factored in the fact that John was no Hollow. Before a single slash could be made, John thundered past, brushing aside his foe like a robed ragdoll. What made it worse, was that he did not even think about it – it was just in his nature to barrel past obstacles, paying no heed to them if they did not put up a fight. Onlookers were surprised to see a shirtless muscleman pounding down the road, true – but there was probably more at stake.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,450,bTable] | Adam McAuley ! Adam wasn't exactly the normal Proxy. He didn't stay home on his days off. He probably should've been less serious, but he couldn't stay inside. He wore his coat and Fullbring as always, the coat because it was comfy and the Fullbring pendant because of habit. After all, he'd been jumped on his days off before. Aside from that, though, it was a normal, relaxing day walking through Karakura town. Adam had actually just finished off a snack; a hot cinnamon bun. It was delicious, but gone far too quickly. Then again, probably just quickly enough. He walked out onto the street and ducked out of reflex as a man in a black kimono with crazy hair was literally sent sailing straight towards him by a fast-moving muscleman. Really, the proper response on his day off should have been to call it in and keep walking. Too bad Adam took so much initiative. He grabbed his pendant and channeled his energy through it, transforming it into a full-fledged black sword and gathering reishi under his feet. The Fullbringer kicked off with a green light, Bringer Light, and slid along a building for a moment before dropping to street level, sliding backwards in front of the behemoth. He stopped himself from taking further action when he saw the face. It was a familiar one, that was for sure. He'd seen this guy before. "John? John Stone? You've been working out, man! Where's the fire?" The last time he'd seen John, it was in passing during one of his training sessions at the Vatican. His instructor had pointed out the other proxy and said something else that Adam didn't really register; he was too busy trying to gauge the other Proxy at the time. The fact that Adam was skating, backwards, at high speed did little to aid his memory. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - words: ### outfit: url link or description tags: whoever // whoever notes: blah blah blah credit: PANDIE of BTN

Unbeknownst to Adam, John had undergone training that most other members of the Consecro would not have – at least, not to the intensity that he had. John had been made to control his emotions, to keep his cool, until commanded otherwise. The “training” he was going through when Adam had passed him, was just a test to see how well he managed himself under duress. He was phenomenal at it, but he had been deployed for a mission, and – much to his dismay – he had been forced into his more muscular stte. And it wasn’t one where he would recognise people, unless they had made a significant impression on him.
Unfortunately for Adam, John had only a fleeting impression of him – and, in the enraged state he was in, john interpreted Adam as an enemy. That was most likely what he had been told – to NEVER get close to John when he was in his enraged state, unless victory seemed certain. Not only was he more durable, but his ability to feel pain was lessened, to the point where he could charge directly into an Arrancar’s punch, and shrug it off like it was nothing. And, if Adam was unlucky, he would get to see these talents of John’s in action.
John turned his head to Adam, and grunted upon noticing his presence. Almost on instinct, Jon roared, and threw a punch in Adam’s general direction. It wasn’t particularly strong – for him, anyway – but it was quick. This would likely give him to opportunity to gather his strength and realign his focus to the battle ahead. Following the punch, John leapt to one side, and took hold of the underside of a mini. And, with what seemed like little effort, he lifted the car above his head, and threw it towards Adam, fully intending to hit his fellow Proxy If it wasn’t clear before, it was now – John was a threat, and needed to be subdued.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,450,bTable] | Adam McAuley ! Adam anticipated a lot of reactions from John, but he didn't plan for the other Proxy being a gigantic ball of rage. The roar clued him in fast, and he managed to block the mammoth punch on his sword, sliding further ahead as John stopped running. Adam planted his feet on the wall behind him to cut his speed, slowly coasting into the middle of the street. He switched his sword into a reverse grip and shot John a glare laced with incredible amounts of "The hell are you doing?"Adam's fellow proxy wasn't slowing his roll. He picked up a Mini and chucked it at Adam. Thankfully, the attack being the rough size and shape of a car with huge handprints in the undercarriage, it was easy enough for Adam to use Bringer Light to jump up and over. He switched his grip back to the front and was about to bring the blade down on John, but he remembered his new orders. No combat-capable humans were to be incapacitated. He rolled in midair to clear the other Consecro member's back without hitting him, and landed roughly on the ground. "John! The hell is going on? We're on the same side!"Adam rolled up and away from Stone and took his traditional stance. If he didn't figure out what was wrong with the guy, he'd have to find a way to subdue him. He didn't know how long the other Proxy could keep his Sigil up, though. Adam's Fullbring didn't exhibit much drain unless he used the reishi manipulation techniques it gave him, and John didn't look like he was doing anything special. Until he figured out a course of action, he kept his footing and made sure he had a space picked out to run to for the next attack. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - words: ### outfit: url link or description tags: whoever // whoever notes: blah blah blah credit: PANDIE of BTN

John, unable to properly process his own thoughts, had attempted to grab at Adam while he was in the air Naturally, this ended unsuccessfully, prompting John to turn around and roar in frustration. While a calm, collected John would have defused the situation quickly, and would have followed orders, it was fairly obvious that the big guy wasn’t as willing to cooperate. This was evidenced by his complete lack of control – and, of course, by the fact that he was now attacking a Consecro member he had no real reason to even be in contact with in the first place.
While Adam would not hurt John, John was all too willing to hurt Adam. “JHON SMASH LITTLE MAN!” he bellowed, his voice and tone enough to cause even the mightiest of the animal world’s predators to shrink back in fear. With astounding force he brought his fists down where Adam was, and if he made contact, he would pound into Adam for as long as he could. However, his instincts told him to find other methods of attack, to make sure that Adam stayed down. Not many humans would be able to withstand one of his bone-shattering punches, but there was always the possibility of them moving out of the way.
Grunting, John leapt backwards, his breaths deep and deliberate, his eyes nearly glowing with rage. He may have reverted into an enormous rage monster, but he was by no means all out of brain power. He knew how to adapt to some basic situations, what hurt and what didn’t. Right now, he was trying to intimidate his foe, having shown his power. A practise commonplace in the animal kingdom, and one that his instincts told him to do. And, to be fair, most would be afraid of a hulking mass of muscle, that moved surprisingly fast, but hit with every bit of power they expected.

Adam was running out of options extremely quickly. As opposed to any real answer to his questions, he received an ear-splitting roar of rage. He couldn't help but be nervous; his normal calm was pretty much out of reach at the moment. The entire situation was absurd. The words "JOHN SMASH LITTLE MAN!" left no doubt as to the other proxy's intentions. He held up his sword, black reiatsu and blue reishi mixing along the blade, as John swung his fists down.
Without any real options for attacking, he channeled the gathered energy into a guard, directing the giant fists further down and a little closer to John with a slope of solid energy. Adam, meanwhile, dashed back and up onto a rooftop with Bringer Light, breathing heavily. John was doing a lot better than Adam, and he couldn't keep this pace much longer without attacking. His shoulder was still numb from that one punch he'd blocked earlier.

John, enraged by having his attack blocked, only grew angrier with each passing second. And, while his power would certainly not go any further, it was worth noting that his ferocity would be extremely hard to quell. This was only demonstrated further when John bellowed, his voice alone being enough to scatter lesser beings. John promptly followed Adam onto the roof Adam had retreated to, by leaping onto the side of the building, and pulled himself on top of it. It was both extraordinary, and rather unnerving, how fast he managed to do this, all while not seeming to lose his stamina.
Like a steam train forged of rage and muscle, John barrelled forwards, feet living slight imprints where they had pounded into the floor. It was alarming how, despite not being able to think straight, the beast never seemed to miss a beat. Had he control over his power, John would make a superb soldier. As for now, however, it was up to his fellow Consecro members to quell him whenever he got into this state. And what a state it was – if Adam did not move, John would likely flatten him with a series of brutish punches, and no shortage of animalistic roaring and snarling.
