Roren laughed. "As is your intelligence, it seems. You hold no sway over me. As long as I have knowledge of the Hougyoku, you are powerless, Arrancar." He raised his eyebrows at him, jokingly. "Either way, the only way to activate the Hougyoku would be to place it near or in a source of great spiritual pressure. I believe the material it is made of absorbs it naturally, so this is all you'd have to do."

Rangis nodded. "Very well. That's all I needed to know." He chuckled. "I'll leave you here with Taka and Merk some more. If I have any more questions, I expect answers." He shook his head. "I'd prefer if it were only Merk and Taka with him." He said, staring at his Primero Espada. "I don't need you getting smart and ripping up my knowledge base."

Merk giggled. "Yes, leave it to me! Normally, I'd reduce him to a drooling vegetable! But since we need his mind, I'm thinking I'll lighten up a bit." He muttered his release, and his zanpakuto ignited into its Shikai. He ran it through his hand, flinching. "Owwie...that hurts!" He said, laughing uneasily. "Wanna try, Miss Taka?" He asked. He knew that, if one person liked pain as much as he did, it would be Taka...

Taka shook her head. “Though that sounds intriguing Merk I’ll have to pass. Though you may be one for causing yourself excruciating pain I’ll have to say I only like to cause others pain, most of the time.” She sighed. “Though if you want to hurt yourself be my guest, I couldn’t care either way.” She laughed. “I would probably even enjoy it, do you like to make people happy Merk? You like pain, but if pain brings joy to you still like it, or only if it brings joy to your comrades? Though I dare say I’d hesitate to call you a comrade.” She shrugged and re-situated her hands in front of her. “If you must play petty games for fun then I guess I wouldn’t mind.”

"Hmph." Sakrikao scowled slightly at the thought of not being able to torment the Shinigami any longer, although the Shinigami seemed to be doing a better job at it. "As you wish." With that Sakrikao twirled around to leave as his long silver hair twirled around with him. He looked back slightly at the Shiniami. "If I find out you are lying, I'm going to kill you and your Lieutenant." He turned back around swiftly and exited the room.

Roren sighed. "Good thing I'm not lying, then..." He said. He watched as Rangis left the room, and Merk hovered over him with that dreaded Shikai. His eyes widened at the sight of it. He knew the pain it could cause, and feared it. Then, the impact. That Shikai hit him, right in the kneecap. His eyes bulged, and he screamed bloody murder. He had never felt a pain so horrible in such a small location...

Merk laughed. "You scream loud, when you do, Captain! Just so you know, I've turned up the intensity on my Shikai. When I used it to knock you out, that was its lowest setting! I'm on a sort of medium-low, right now. I've never, ever had to use high, though maybe you'll give me the chance!" He then walked to Roren's stomach, and plunged the blade into it. As Roren screamed, turned his head, and vomited from the pain, Merk giggled again. "Don't pass out, yet! We're just getting started!"

Taka scoffed at Sakrikao's haughtiness. "I will kill that man in his sleep one day." She growled. "I swear I will, just stab him to death like freakin' Julius Caesar." She switched her mind or Sakrikao to Roren, who was indeed, to her joy, in great pain. She chuckled a bit to herself. It was always so amusing to see someone in pain, especially if it was someone you hated, which to Taka, was most everyone. "I think you're being to kind to him. Physical pain isn't the only kind as I'm sure we both know but I do perfer it better than other kinds." She twirled the mace which she had detatched from her belt around her finger. "Maybe if you scream loud enough shinigami all of Hueco Mundo will hear you and know how much or a coward you really are."

Roren gasped, as the torture halted for a moment. Breathing heavy, he turned to Taka. "And maybe when you fight Raul on equal ground, you'll see that he puts you to shame, you whore..." As Merk tapped his foot with the Shikai, giving his mind the impression of his foot being dipped in molten lava, he was silenced, flinching, but not screaming as he had...

Merk laughed. "Captain, Miss Taka won't lose to any Shinigami easily. That other Captain might have beaten me, but I don't think he could beat her. Besides, you should hush..." He gazed at his blade. "I'll tell you how this blade works. The pain it inflicts is only limited by my imagination. If I imagine a pain, I can bring it to your mind. If I want you to suffer you will." He turned to Taka. "You said physical pain isn't the only kind. You're right! I can also simulate emotional pain! Let's see, how would you feel, if that Lieutenant of yours died, all because of you..."
He jabbed at Roren with the blade, and the Shinigami's eyes immediately teared up. He yelled, cursing the heavens, shouting profanities. "You see, Miss Taka? The best part is, they can't tell themselves it isn't true! While they are in contact with this sword...I am in complete control..."

Taka chuckled. "And being in complete control is where we always should be in relitivity to these low lifes." She bit her thumb so it bled. "You could do much worse that call me a whore, shinigami and we could to much worse than this. You haven't even expirienced the real pain yet. It gets much, much worse." She rubbed her thumb along his cheek. "It can always get worse, don't forget that, and listen, dear shinigami, worse isn't always bad, not for us at least." She lifted her hand. "You're young. Maybe 200 years, but when you've lived for over 800, like me, you will have finally learned what true pain is, but untill then you're a usualess son of a bitch that no one wants."

Roren snickered. "I'm the one no one wants? You're a Hollow, and you probably had a pretty bad life, at that. After all, you became a Hollow, which generally means you felt much grief and anger. What happened? Oh, I'm sure it wasn't your fault, but it goes to prove how worthless you are, you couldn't even succeed at life. What makes you think you succeed in this life?" He wanted to make her angry. He knew nothing of her past, but he could make guesses...

Merk sighed. His eyes turned almost opaque in texture, and his face lost all expression. His voice lost that polite tone, and adopted a menacing one. "You know, you shouldn't talk with insults like that, Shinigami." He then swiped him with his blade, while punching him in the gut at intervals. "I'm the one in control here. If you want to try to anger anyone, I dare you to try and anger me. Taka can hurt you, but I can put you in more agony than anyone else..."

Taka smiled. "I'm afraid you're wrong shinigami. I did have a bad life but I was always worth something to someone. Starting with my mother, then my little sisters, the rest of my siblings and ending with my little baby brother. Now I'm an Espada and worth something to all of Heuco Mundo. I have never been worthless. Just because I had a bad life does not mean I failed at life. I'm afraid you assume to quickly, that's a very bad thing when you're around people like us." She glared down at him. "I mean, in the time you've been gone we haven't even got any signs of the shinigami wanting to get you back, it's like they're not even going to try. And what do you think will happen when the do try? If you guessed that they'd die then you'd be right, because in the end, they all will."

Roren glared at her, gasping for breath again after the sucker punches he received from Merk. "Yeah, what happened to your siblings? Let me guess, you failed at life, and because of you..." He paused, and smirked, "They did too..." He awaited another punishment from Merk. They were steadily growing in severity. Soon enough, he wouldn't be able to bear it...
