The adjuchas, all three of them, had crowded around him. They were pathetic. They were scum who wanted to eat him to gain their own power. These were lower end hollows, and to think they thought they could stand against him as an Arrancar was ludicrous. He stared at their masks, blue eyes piercing their own yellow eyes. Each let out a roar and charged him. All appeared humanoid, each shared the same body size, the only difference was their color. It was clear to him that these beasts must have been a trio of some sort. Too bad the three of them wouldn't reach the level of Arrancar.
As the first had come to land on the ground, he was met by Tetrex's hilted blade. The blunt whip across the mask sent the best rolling off to the side. The second swiped down at him and he dodged back avoiding the oncoming arm with ease. Their striking was sloppy. The third had dropped in with both fists gripped together and slammed them down on top of him. Too bad for the beast, he had actually charged his reiatsu to his feet and utilized it to jump up in time to dodge. The third tried to catch the strike from the sheathed blade, but it wasn't strong enough. It was still sent skidding back. The second Arrancar, the one he had yet to hit away, attempted to punch him in the face. He caught the beasts massive hand and smirked. "Sorry." He unleashed a palm strike to the chest of this hollow, and a following burst of reiatsu had sent it skidding just as the rest.
This time, Tetrex didn't give the hollows a chance to react. As they were catching themselves and regrouping, he utilized his short dash to come up to the first one. He laid his hand on the beast's face while floating in the air. It was here that the hollows came to realize exactly what this cloaked 'Human' was. A bala charged right in front of it's face. "Please! I beg of you! We jus-" The beast was cut off by the bala digging into it's mask and causing it to fall back lifeless. The other two beasts turned to run, but they weren't near fast enough. He held out his hand and charged up the cero incompleta. The second beast screamed as it was engulfed by the cero and killed.
He walked towards the last hollow. It's leg had been caught in the blast of the cero and it could no longer run. It fired a cero incompleta of it's own towards him, but his hierro protected him from it without issue. He began to laugh as he continued walking into range. This last hollow tried to crawl away. It desperately wanted to live. It clearly had the will to survive, but it had just chosen the wrong beast to try and feast on. "Do you understand now Adjuchas? Do you get what I am?" The beast turned. "Y-Y.. W-Why are you.. W-Who..?" The beast tried to ask the right questions, but it just caused Tetrex to frown. "I'm an Arrancar. More Specifically, A Numeros. And you hollow..." He walked up to the hollow and gripped the bottom of it's mask jerking it's head so that it was looking at him. "Are going to die." With that, he held his right hand in front of the beast and two bala incompleta were launched into it's mask. The third had been slaughtered just as efficiently as the last.
He continued his walk through the desert, though he himself no longer understood why he kept walking here. He felt as though there were answers to great power here. As though he could find something he couldn't find before. He kept watch on the horizon. There didn't seem to be anything in sight, but he could feel something strange, an almost pulling feeling. "What's out here?" He had screamed and waited for a response.

- Spoiler:
- Techniques Used:
Name: Choque
Type: Offensive|Combate
Rank: Amateur
Range: Self, with the shockwave having a range of 5 metres.
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 turns
Description: Choque is a basic rank strike, used by practitioners of Combate. It is a palm thrust, which, similar to Hadō #1: Shō, sends out a Shockwave that can knock it's target back several feet, even without direct contact. Direct contact, however, can send the target flying back a significantly further distance
Name: Bala Incompleta
Type: Offensive|Estruendo
Rank: Amateur
Range: 40 metres
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 posts
Description: Bala Incompleta is the most basic form of Bala an Arrancar may learn. The Arrancar will gather a thin layer of Reiryoku around their fist. They then project this by thrusting their fists towards the target, expelling the Reiryoku as a small, bullet like sphere of energy. As this is an incomplete form of Bala, it does not have the true destructive power of a Bala. It can cause 1st and 2nd degree burns, and send the target flying on impact. The maximum number of Bala Incompleta an Arrancar can fire at once is two.
Name: Cero Incompleto
Type: Offensive|Estruendo
Rank: Amateur
Range: 50 metres
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 posts
Description: Cero Incompleta is the most basic form of Cero an Arrancar may learn. The Arrancar will gather Reiryoku at either the tips of their fingers, the palm of their hand or inside their mouth. This Reiryoku will condense down, forming a tightly packed sphere of Reiryoku. This will then burst out as an immense beam of raw Reiryoku. As this is an incomplete form of Cero, it does not have the true destructive power of a Cero. It can cause 1st and 2nd degree burns, and send the target flying on impact.
Name: Brinco
Type: Supplementary|Sonido
Rank: Amateur
Range: Up to twenty metres
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 turns
Description: Brinco is a basic movement technique. It allows the Arrancar to kick off the ground with much more force than normal, allowing them to leap many metres into the air. They do this by flooding their legs with Reiryoku and then firing it into the ground as they kick off. This allows the Arrancar to get airborn rapidly, as well as to approach an enemy with speed.
Name: Hierro Incompleto
Type: Defensive|Hierro
Rank: Novice
Range: Self
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Hierro Incompleto is the most basic of all Hierro techniques. The Arrancar coats the surface of their skin in a thickly packed layer of Reiryoku, increasing their physical resistance. The user can coat any section of their body they desire with this technique, covering roughly an arms worth of skin. Hierro Incompleto can block all basic attacks, and techniques up to Amateur rank. Novice rank techniques will not be completely prevented, but their effectiveness will be reduced dramatically. For example, a Novice rank sword technique will cut an inch or so into the skin.
Name: Bala
Type: Offensive|Estruendo
Rank: Apprentice
Range: 40 Metres
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Bala is the complete version of Bala Incompleta, and requires that the Arrancar knows it to learn this. The Arrancar will gather a thin layer of Reiryoku around their fist. They then project this by thrusting their fists towards the target, expelling the Reiryoku as a small, bullet like sphere of energy. On impact, this can dig an inch into the target's skin, searing the wound and sending the victim flying. The maximum number of Bala an Arrancar can fire at once is six.
Name: Sonido Imperfecto
Type: Supplementary|Sonido
Rank: Apprentice
Range: Up to 7 metres
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 4 turns
Description: Sonido Imperfecto is an incredibly basic variation of Sonido, and is the first form a Sonido user must learn. The Arrancar will consolidate Reiryoku in their legs, and then kick off using it, allowing them to move a short distance so quickly that to the untrained eye, it appears as if they have "blinked" a short distance. As this is an incomplete Sonido, even the untrained spiritually advanced person can follow the movement to a degree, but it will appear to these individuals as though you are blinking a few inches forward in rapid succession rather than one sleek movement. This technique can be followed by someone with a perception of at least 2 tiers lower than the technique, or 2 tiers of movement lower, allowing them to effectively guard against an assault delivered combined with the Technique. This technique, while it appears as though they are teleporting, is simply an incredibly rapid straight line movement, and as such they cannot move through physical objects, nor does it give them immunity to damage. So, if there is a wall of fire between the individual and their destination, it will still burn them as they go through.
