Bleach: Beginning of the End

[Von83194]

"Good afternoon, Idai," His Captain said to him, as he walked over. "Afternoon Captain." He said. giving a slight bow. "War is coming as you'll well expect. Let's talk about in the barracks." He shunpoed away and Idai followed shortly behind. He was glad to see that the captain was willing to have the disscussion on the roof. He had a harder time concentrating in confined spaces. He sat down on the edge with his feet hanging over.

"Tell me sir," Idai started. "Whet new news do you have of the war." Idai knew it was inevitable. He didn't want to fight other shinigami, even if they were 'different'. You are weak, said the voice again. That's why you have yet to master bankai. With an annoyed look on his face, Idai tried his best to ignore him. He knew what Captain Hayate had to say was much more important.

Hmm... well, it couldn't do much harm to tell it why he fought it. The last line about embracing his inner hollow's dreams though, that could mean any number of things. It claimed not to be the 'bad guy' but was he sure he could believe that? It was certainly powerful, 'he' could easily end the match in a single blow, then follow him here and most likely could sense that he was prepping to let his inner hollow take over. He supposed he would just tell it the truth. "I fought you because you destroyed the carnival and hurt innocent people. I wasn't sure if that kid could take you all by himself, and he couldn't, so I helped out." He said after much consideration. He didn't want to let her know too much about him, but he didn't want to upset her. (OoC: I keep accidentally calling your character "her" or other words indicative of her being female because of the pink text.)

[Kid A]

Demonstration.

Naturally Athel found this to be within a prospect, he evaluated and assessed it easy enough. He reached to his side, and unsheathed one inch of a blade, and that was all that was there. Broken? Who carries such a weapon is a question he often got. A quick jettison to the right, Ryuuga-san broke the air behind him, never mind the area he stood was thick with reitasu exerting downward.

"I'm in trouble then?" he muttered with a twinge of his shut eyes. Giving a quick scrape of the side of the flowing reitasu dissipating into the stub of a zanpakuto without going past so much of the guard. His grip was firm as the beam was continuous so long as she cupped it, but it dispersed its reitasu to nerf both his and Ryuuga's movements so naturally Pakkun didn't waste any force.

By its flowing end, the steel of his thin stub of a zanpakuto slowly began to regenerate and he extended it to its full length. It sealed state resembled any normal zanpakuto though his came off as a little thicker as he amassed massive reitasu, with a hollowed inside, thirty centimeters up. He spun it around the hoop of his zanpakuto, flicking off his finger he grabbed the lingering thread from the tip of the grip. He swung fast, and created a psuedo-aerial wave lined with reitasu in a halo-like swing branching out and distancing into force to hit Ryuga and Akairo simultaneously.

[Tavishmithos]

Akairo knew that things had already gotten serious even if it didn't appear that way because the dodge of her Senhappa spell and then the dissolution of it via Pakkun's blade meant that the art of battle was one with all three of them.

"Damn, he isn't kidding at all." Pakkun attacked with a sway and released an arc of reiatsu directly out of his blade and Akairo was with it, she reacted by jumping up and flipped her body down into the path of the attack and unsheathed her blade, twisting and slicing at the edge of the released force. Her sword style allowed her to pulse reiatsu into the arc and swivel it off course but only by an inch or so but it was all she needed.

Right next to Pakkun her leg edged up to kick first his chest and then was followed in the same motion with a higher kick to the chin and a double sword strike aimed at the shoulder. "I got something for you too Ryuga. Light!!!!" A flash of light erupted across Ryu's vision and cleared a path for another hado from Akairo with her free hand.

"Sadan Tenka!!!" Particles of light and reiatsu began bursting into the air and flared up, targeting Ryuga's body randomly and then began igniting...

[King Naruto]

He could only keep a very satisfied grin on his face as they all agreed for a nice little battle. But instead of a big free for all, the lieutenant/Vice-captains would face eachother while Bryce and Corbinek would fight like two wild lions. Not to mention Corbinek wanted Bryce to make the first move. It had to have been a long time since Bryce made the first move and he was hoping to give it his best shot. Suddenly his spiritual pressure began to seep out in a large amount, pushing back against everyone and everything. The air became heavy as more pressure was released. Bryce wasn't trying to be cool nor did he care about looking awesome, but what he was pulling off was an impressive feat considering that only a handful of people could do that.

Bryce's body began to vanish into thin air and the rock that he was once standing on was forcibly destroyed by the sheer strength of his shunpo. It was complete silence as Bryce reappeared above ground, infront of Corbinek. His right leg cut through the air aimed at the rival captain's head. As his body came through a full rotation, the young captain landed on one foot gracefully. Using shunpo, he jumped backwards in a backflip. Spiritual energy formed in his palm as he threw his hand forward with an open palm. The energy flowed from his palm in a wave that seperated into two more waves that looked to overtake Corbinek. "Come on Corbi. Let's get you to wake me up." Bryce announced as he stood waiting for an attack.

Chase grinned obnoxiously as he saw Kiba reach for his sword. It was, of course, exactly what he wanted. "I would watch my tone if I were you," said his superior with obvious rage. The man spread apart his feet, making his battle stance no doubt. "I'll give you one fair warning, walk away."

Chase arched one eyebrow and began to speak as mockingly and as highly pitched as possible, "OOH I'm up against the almighty Kiba-san! Whatever shall I do?" He then added seriously, "Listen 'Lieutenant-san' I would trust that we've been in the same squad long enough for you to know I'm no push over. Not even for a man of Captain Hanabi's calibre."

"One more thing, I would prefer if we did this without shikai." And with that he grabbed the hilt of his sword that was wrapped on his waist. "Let's go!" he roared, drawing out the sword and charging forward with blade held vertically, in front of him.

[Stark]

The battle quickly heated up as Athel’s attack soared towards both Ryuga and Akairo. Kneeling down on one knee, Ryuga awaited the attack so he could try to deflect it with his Shikai release, but he was a little too late. Akairo acted gracefully and caused the halo-shaped attack to sway off course and few inches and crash into some rocks in the distance. Akairo continued on with her attack, kicking Athel squarely in the chest and chin then proceeded to attack his shoulder. In an instant of watching her moves, Ryuga’s eyesight was blinded by a strange light for a second. When he regained sight, light particles had made their way all around him.

"#26 Kyokko"

As the Bakudo spell took effect, Ryuga’s became invisible to the targets as his reiatsu also disappeared. The Light particles; now without a target dropped abruptly to the ground causing explosions that in turned caused smoke to form all around Ryuga. Through the shroud of smoke, Ryuga decided to strike. Using his Shunpo technique Ryuga shot forward with a powerful elbow that was aimed directly at Akairo’s side. With Kyokko still in effect, Ryuga attack was most likely going to go unseen. Once his elbow crashed into Akairo’s side her head would jerk towards Ryuga as her body went the opposite way. Ryuga however wasn’t finished and sent both his arms thrusting above his head to grab on to Akairo’s head. As the grasped upon it, Ryuga would send her hurling into the direction Ryuga just came from.

#4 Byakurai

Ryuga head jolted towards the directions of Athel, as he moved one of his hands to face Athel, lightning bolt erupted from his hands, surely hitting the stunned Athel from Akairo’s hits in the chest...

[Tavishmithos]

Retrospective properties of Corbinek's mind made him quite aware of what Bryce was doing and his display of particularly high spiritual pressure was of no consiquence at all. Though the large rock shattered and then Bryce took off in a raze of speed and neared Corbinek; his eyes by then had already calculated the perfect action for avoidance but instead of something flashy, all the captain did was raise his blade Vinbrus and downgraded the force of both the kick and spiritual burst that followed. "Hmm nice as always."

Bubbles of coagulated reishi compound began forming all around Bryce, some of them small and some so tiny that they were certainly invisible to those that didn't have the ability to view such small formations of essence around them. "Let's wake you up eh Bryce-kun??" He stood back to back with his rival and near friend the bubbles began popping, sending rivlets of inbalance across Bryce's area and adding to the. Nature of bodily disfunction.

While this wasn't particularly an attack, it would easily cause an odd sensation of backwards body control in his foe for the time being and that would be problematic since Corbinek's single open eye was shining with a black seen on top of the magenta. "Forge Spell of Black Flames; Amaterasu!!!" Half of the battle field started to burn in a mass of black flames that crackled with an intense fervor of malice. They raced at Bryce immediately and would continue to do so, their speed potent and controlled by the captain himself.

"Oh?? Is that the reason?? I always figured that vizards were the type of being that often got reckless and came to a fight up front...not hide away in the shadows like an injured worm or snake waiting to strike."

Seru didn't need to goad at Karu but in all honestly what it said was completely true; while both Andrew and Juuro had fought against Seru and displayed their merit, Karu had stayed in the background and then tried to attack at the last second and when faced with his own inherent destruction...ran away. It wasn't like Seru looked down upon not wanting to lose one's life but still...

"So I hurt innocent people huh?? How is it you know they were innocent?? Sure I might not be God but there's a certainly that I'm the purifier for a reason. The last time I checked I have an awareness of the corrupt and the level of corruption thereof inside these beings. What I do is my job, its a heavy burden and the reason I continue to exist," this explanation to Karu wasn't to make Seru feel better just to show what was up in its duties.

"I saved those kids. And not everybody died..."

[1Gannon1]

"Well, it really all depends on the fight. Perhaps I would have been completely killed had I not lain hidden in the shadows, who knows? And even assuming all the people you killed WERE corrupted, is it really just to decide for yourself the level of punishment that fits the crime? You may have saved the kids, I wasn't there yet so I will give you credit for that, but what reason did you have to kill all those people when (if they truly were corrupted) they would have been sent to the underworld in death anyway?" Karu said to the thing. Thinking of another thing, Karu continued "And by the way, exactly WHAT would that purification thing have done to me if I hadn't counteracted it, and don't say something stupid like 'It would purify you' I want to know exactly what it would do to me.."

[Kid A]

Pakkun had this much settled. With an adjustment of his side, Akairo's double foot plant grazed the lower left arm, and scuffed his left ear as he leaned over. Holding his blade behind him to stop the double slash from burrowing into his back. As he looked on she was midst the forming of another hado technique.

'Not so blind here...' he thought. Twisting as his hand emptied of his blade and came around quick tucking and grabbing Akairo's chest. A firm grip confirmed a rather voluptuous incline below her shoulders. Pakkun's brow raised. "Whoa...I like this." he said without questioning it.

This came as a shock, he portaled with akairo a moment after she dispatched her hado on Ryuga. Needlessly, taking a higher elevation of thirty meters up where he released her bosom from his clutched and they slid across the air. Actions taken by Ryuga had to be altered due to them elevating from the vicinity of his paced out assault. Naturally, how could he forget...he misplaced his zanpakuto by dropping it though it wasn't a big deal.

"D-cup?" he asked a harmless, comical, and rather bold question.

[Zek]

"Well I hope this is truly what you wanted, cus now I'm gonna have to release my anger on you for mocking my little sister, however no shikai might actually be fun." Kiba's nostrals flared up as he spoke those words. Kiba watched as Chase started to charge at him. He held his position and waited for the perfect opportunity to strike. He shifted towards the right before moving behind Chase during his charge. Once into position he unsheathed his sword and using the speed and power from unseathing the sword he preformed a vertical strike at Chase's back.

[Tavishmithos]

"Akairo braced herself for massive impact and retaliation and rather found herself nearly violated by Pakkun. "Sheesh how was that for ya??" Her thoughts ran together with the next assault she'd planned as Pakkun released her chest and her breasts settled back into place. Her open hand had already formed a cero blast within it and simple use of her whim had it masked as an azure blast of reiatsu which she threw at Pakkun.

Rather than drop to the ground there, Akairo came upon her own blast and cut it in two diagonally and then hurled both pieces toward Pakkun using gravity as an anchor for their movement and in her rush past the competition, quickly grabbed both cheeks of Pakkun's rear quarters and flipped off them with her feet...propelling her foe ever closer to the flux of a rather powerful display of energy which crackled and writhed with extra force after it split.

She'd learned to quickly take down foes and follow her assaults properly and Ryuga was not out of the question. With her mask not on it wasn't too wise for Akairo to fathom multiple hollow related feats but a few cero would harm nothing and the next 8 she threw at Ryuga turned things up a notch. Inside the time frame of which those cero were all relased in their covered forms; Akairo used gravity on herself to decrease her affected weight and mass thus amplifying her speed.

"Here we go." Knowing very well the use of shunpo that Ryuga relied on, Akairo used some energy to make the muscles in her targets legs much heaiver to exert pressure and muscle tearing if enough speed was applied for rapid movement. Her leg shot up and a flurry of kicks were unleashed up from Ryuga's stomach to a heel kick on top of his head.

She was away right as all the cero blasts would reach their target.

"BOOOOOM"

~~~~~

"I don't really feel a need to explain my job to a mere vizard but you might as well that any place larger than a singular person, I'm called there via my core." Seru was more and more amused by this vizard. It was almost like there was a missing link to this guy...

Seru laughed and smiled its human face smile at Karu. "You want to know just what would have happened to you?? I'm not completely sure. I've purified vizards before and many of them have simply died..erroded from the inside as their hollow was purified and the link to you is affected...whic causes horrible agony until you waste away."

Of course there were other things that could happen but Seru would merely allow those to happen. It should have been obvious that Karu would already be dying.

"Anything else??"

[King Naruto]

Staring at his rival as Corbinek blocked the kick and the spiritual attack all at once, Bryce kept his eyes and mind focused. Corbinek was not the type to use folly techniques and twice before Bryce was brought to his knees by the very forces that the man could conjure up. The same though could be same for Bryce for he was known to survive such things through either sheer durability and willpower or the fact that he also had a grasp of control over spiritual energy. Soon Corbinek was up to his tricks and they would pose to be quite deadly. As the reishi began to form and compund together in various tiny to microscopic sizes, Bryce was fully aware.

For years he had been able to sense such things as reishi and spiritual energy. It was enough to literally see what was going on here. He hadn't studied in the ways of spiritual manipulation for nothing. Using his body as a conduit, spiritual energy effortlessly poured out of his body in a net shape except this net's holes would still be able to catch what was needed. The reishi was trapped within the net that was formed by Bryce and as soon as Corbinek touched his back to Bryce, the plan was set in motion. Instead of simply dispersing the attack, the net was now touching the other captain, and Bryce sent the attack back at him but, not without adding his own touch. It was under his control and he closed his fist to begin the affect that was now upon Corbi.

The dysfunction would instead caused the body to sporadically move and jerk around while also confusing the nervous system so, when Corbi moved an arm, he would actually be moving a random part of his body. Jumping forward, the young captain twirled through the air with the greatest of ease, landing on his right foot and crushing the ground underneath him. The forces of the spirit were spawned upon Bryce's hand then concentrated into his index fingers. Pointing his left hand at Corbi like a gun, it was shining brightly with a green color. "Finger Bang." He said lazily as an over encompassing ball of spiritual enery flew at Corbinek's black flames. The ball swirled and acted as a shield and displacer for the next attack. Raising his left hand like a gun aimed at his rival's chest and the flames, Bryce spoke swiftly but, this time with energy. "Now i'm awake. Finger Bang mk 2." He said as the energy shot forth at speeds rivaling the flames while still being enforced by Bryce's unique control. This time it was more concentrated into a beam with the force to penetrate through instead of dealing concussive damage. The idea was for the ball to confront the flames and the second beam to push through unnoticed and smash through Corbinek's defenses. A smart plan for such a lazy bastard.

[Stark]

It had seemed the match was slowly shifting, but surely not in Ryuga’s favor. Fighting one person wasn’t too difficult, but when two people were added things got a little sticky. Ryuga knew he had to shift his mind state to make sure every move he used would work, since he couldn't afford another miss like the one that had just taken place. As his two opponents floated overhead, Ryuga witnessed the same actions that had taken place on the ground happen above. Akairo was a beast and she made sure both Athel and Ryuga would know.

As Akairo fell immediately from her skyward position Ryuga could see 8 circular beams coming down towards him at a slower pace. If he could recall, Akairo was one to make more than one move during her attack and if the circular beams was the first part, he had to expect another one. When Akairo dropped in front of Ryuga and sent her leg flying upwards aiming towards his stomach, Ryuga was already on point. Catching her leg, Ryuga launched Akairo back up towards the direction of her own attack.

"#4 Byakurai"

A lightning beam was sent flying towards the thrown Akairo, propelling her up towards her own attack at a faster pace than Ryuga had thrown her and most likely causing her attack to do more damage.

Pain shot up once again from each side of Ryuga's leg as he watched Akairo hurl towards her own attack. This time Ryuga clearly identified what was going on. The weight of the muscles in his legs had suddenly increased rapidly most likely in attempts to stop his movement. To many opponents have tried this before and none ever succeeded. Would Akairo be the first?

"So I see my Shunpo is the target again. Sadly this much weight isn't nearly as Bryce has me training with"

[1Gannon1]

Karu considered to himself what more he had to ask the being. He knew pretty much enough, but there was one thing he still wanted to know. "Yeah, just one more thing: What exactly are you? You certainly aren't a normal human, and you can't be a shinigami or hollow either. Your not a Vizard, so what are you?" Karu asked. He hoped this question wasn't deemed offensive, he had largely overcome his fear since it was evident that it didn't want to kill him, but he still knew that it could on a moment's notice.
