Arrancar versus Vizard

[Ryouji Onigata]

Remaining inside of the Urahara, Ryouji kept his wits about him. He too was worried that the arrancar would return. Luckily before his continued spat with Ronin, he was able to call and convince to have the power limiter lifted so that he can fight and if need be destroy whatever sought to bring harm to this city. He tilted his head back slowly and narrowed his eyes. It was at that instance he felt the a massive spiritual pressure. "It looks like it is my turn at long last" He stood up from the rock he was sitting on and made his way for the ladder which led to the store front up above. After quickly ascending the later he headed outside and closed the shop door behind him. Slowly making his way into the street, Ryouji kept his arms folded across his chest.

He looked up after stopping, noticing Shukumei floating there with her two arrancar. Was it her spiritual pressure that he felt? He was well aware of how strong she was, but it was never such a big gap between them. "Shukumei...I assume that this is not a social call. If you're looking for your former poster boy he's not here" He kept his eyes focused on his sister although not limiting his awareness to the Arrancar.

[Shukumei Onigata]

Shukumei smiled as she always did while looking down at her brother. Seeing the calm expression on his face, the fact that he spoke as refined as he did was truly hiding the fact that she could feel his anger. "Ryouji or should I call you Captain Onigata, since there is only one. Do not flatter yourself, I came to merely check up on you...and to force you to stop holding your strength back"

Shukumei floated down toward the ground slowly with Shiva following behind her. A quiet giggle escaped her lips before her feet touched the ground. She looked up at her brother, still wearing the smile and noticing that his Lieutenant was nowhere to be seen "Why do you constantly hold yourself back brother I do not understand. You allow yourself to be treated as a weakling when you and I both know you are far stronger than you allow everyone to know. Do not disgrace me with such trivialities. My darling Shiva will crush you if you do not fight with your full potential"

Shukumei looked to Shiva and gently stroked the side of the Arrancar's face. "Play with my brother my lovely pet, and if he continues to hold himself back, kill him. I haven't the time for a one sided game. Kyouteki, remain with me and observe my darling Shiva"

[Ryouji Onigata]

Ryouji closed his eyes and sighed. He lowered his head slowly having no true desire to fight, yet he knew that he would not be able to avoid this one. After a few moments he opens his eyes slowly "Is this your plot, to keep me from masking my presence here?" He glared at his sister, wondering what it was she was truly after. "The restriction has been lifted, so now I can face your Arrancar without worry. I missed the first fight but now this battle is mine, keep the human and my Lieutenant out of this. They are of no concern to you." Removing his robe he tossed it backwards. Upon hitting the ground it created a loud thud, it was actually weighted known for keeping the wearer restricted with weight while forcing the wearer to grow stronger.

His body began to glow slightly followed by his eyes, without specially crafted robe, he could no longer hide his spiritual pressure, thus releasing it. His eyes began to glow a bright blue while staring at the Arrancar, matching the color of the spiritual aura that has surrounded his body "I shall not hold my self back any longer" He slowly moved his left hand toward the scarf covering his face and pulled it off slowly before tossing it to the ground, revealing that it too has been modified with weights and spirit eaters. Upon doing so his spiritual pressure continued to strengthen. He gripped the hilt of his Zanpakuto slowly and removed it from the sheath strapped to his back.

He extended the sword out in front of him while continuously staring at the Arrancar "Bankai" Ryouji tossed his sword into the air as it began to glow, manifesting itself into an 'S' shape double edged sword made entirely of bones. Ryouji's spiritual pressure peaked and flowed from him strongly Ryouji lifted off of his heels slowly performing a quick flash step upward into the air, to catch his Zanpakuto before falling to the ground with it gripped tightly at its center. Even if he himself had not transformed into his vizard form, he had come to his peak in power now he stood silent, awaiting the Arrancar to make the first move.

[Rin Onigata]

Shiva stared at Ryouji as she continuously felt his spiritual pressure climb. Apparently she too had been misinformed about this particular captain's strength. She stepped forward and stood in front of Ryouji and bowed slightly showing him a small sign of respect "My mistress informed me that you were not to be taken lightly. I do not, I see your strength for what it truly is and it will be an honor to defeat you still. I am Shiva Ramera, Arrancar number one, the destroyer" She lifted herself from the bow slowly and a smirk formed to her lips.

With a flash step of her own she moved forward, upon appearing she thrusted her right arm forward with an tightly balled fist, smashing it into Ryouji's face, forcing him to skid backwards. She stopped herself only to notice the disposition on his face had not changed. "This will not be fun if you do not fight back sir" She performed yet another flash step of her own. Upon appearing she attempted a side kick to his face while he remained still

[Ryouji Onigata]

Ryouji reached up with his free hand and grabbed her foot by the ankle just before it connected with his face. Turning his Zanpakuto horizontally he thrusted the hilt of his double bladed sword into her stomach, while keeping her a tight grip on her leg. Ryouji released her leg before flash stepping forward, only to end up behind her. He thrusted the blade upwards, unleashing a huge flame wall which engulfed the Arrancar from point blank range. He narrowed his eyes slowly before flash stepping backwards to give himself a little breathing room, however he began to notice that this Arrancar has not fallen from his attack even at that range.

Shukumei told this Arrancar everything about his style of attack and strategy. He flash stepped forward again, even after appearing, he chained yet another flash step and continued to to do so in order to confuse the arrancar. Upon appearing, he attempted a spinning horizontal slash, forcing all of his strength into it.

[Rin Onigata]

At the last second, Shiva reached for her Zanpakuto, Anonadamiento, and unsheathed it. She turned her back to Ryouji and moved it behind her back as she turned, blocking his Zanpakuto with her own with what appeared to be minimal effort. As their Zanpakuto's clashed, a huge shockwave of spiritual pressure was released from the both of them causing the ground to tremble. It was apparent that neither of the two were holding anything back. "I applaud you sir, but my mistress desires you to be beaten, so I shall please her and do just that"

Thrusting her elbow backwards, she forced in into Ryouji's chest, causing him to stumble back. A flash step followed as Shiva adjusted her blade and upon appearing behind him, she slashed his back , opening up his flesh causing blood to spill. After completing it, she performed yet another flash step, and appeared in front of Ryouji, slashin this time at his chest, tearing opening yet another. Before turning around and thrusting the heel of her shoe into the center of his forehead, knocking him down onto the ground. She then jumped backwards and landed on the ground near her mistress.

[OOC: I will stop here, anyone can reply just do not intervene in the fight itself, its not over yet by a long shot]

[Yuri Nakayama]

AS Yuri finally arrived to the scene, she came to a stop, struggling to catch her breath. It seems that one of her injuries might of reopened due to her keeping on the move. But that didn't matter right now. As she looked around, she noticed her Captain fighting Shiva. AS she loked around more, she spotted Shukumei and Kyou. Was Ryouji going to fight them all by himself?

She had the urge to call out to him, but that would only distract him. They should already know that she's here. Quickly acting, she unsheathes her Zanpakutou, transforming it into its Shikai appearance. "I'll do what I can to be of help..."

[Ronin]

Ronin appeared in front of Yuri, in his first stage of Bankai. He shifted his eyes to her, smirking.

"Mind if I go first? I have something to settle here... "

He drew both his blades, showing that he really wasn't asking. He narrowed his eyes at his former Captain, seeming different, even to her.

"You... I will let you pick which of your toys I destroy first...."

[zanji]

Kyouteki growled from seeing Ronin. He wanted to fight, but his mistress said for him to remain with her. As he looked to Ronin, he noticed that something was different about him, something he could not understand. He shifted his eyes to his mistress, wondering what she would want him to do.

[Yuri Nakayama]

Yuri sees Kyou, slowly taking a stance. Since he was the only one left, it made sense that she would try to fight him. Although she knew she wouldn't do all that well against him, she had to at least try for the sake of her captain."It's time I did my share of fighting! I know you want to fight.. but at least let me keep the other guy busy.. You can go after your CAptain if you want.."

[Shukumei Onigata]

Shukumei kept her composure about her with the same daunting smile she's known for, even after Ronin and Yuri showed up at long last. Ronin spoke as he always did "So confident in yourself, you always were Ronin, but this fight belongs to my brother, you had your turn now it is Ryouji's turn. Should you get involved your injured friend there will get hurt. I suggest you protect her"

Shukumei wasn't counting on Yuri being hurt so half of her plan had gone down the drain however, she was always one to improvise. She looked to her brother noticing that he was still laying on the ground "If you do not fight brother, your lieutenant will die, and we all know how pathetic and helpless you would be without your precious pretty faced Lieutenant. Why do you still hold back?!" Growing ever frustrated without knowing the reason why he still holds back.

"Is it because you are afraid of what may happen again? You didn't hold back with Kurotsuchi...and you ended up killing him thats what your best does. You sought to save Yuri without injuring anyone and yet with Yuri in danger you seem to throw caution to the wind. IS THAT WHAT IT TAKES!?! Shiva, you know what to do." She looks down at Shiva who was kneeling at her side.

[Rin Onigata]

Shiva stood up slowly while shifting her attention to Yuri. "Forgive me, what my mistress wants, my mistress shall have at any cost" Shiva slowly raised her left hand and extended her pointer and middle finger. The finger tips themselves sparked with a red energy before forming itself into a orb, she was about to use a Cero. She moved her fingers in Yuri's direction, aiming for her as the orb grew a bit bigger. The energy swirled with within the tightly compacted orb was enough to lay waist to a portion of a city, surely anyone hit with it would be destroyed or at least that was the appearance she was attempting to give.

Shiva was told not to destroy Yuri, only provoke Ryouji by putting her in dangerous situation. "I bid you farewell miss" Shiva jumped into the air and released the cero blast. Shiva's lifeless eyes slowly moved over to where Ryouji was still laying. "If you do not hurry, she will be destroyed" A smirk formed to her face as well, she was very sarcastic and uncaring, if it wasn't for the differences in size and hair color...she could be an exact replica of her mistress.

[OOC: Yesh this is still Ryouji's fight, I can be selfish too so don't ruin it for me, I'll be back to continue the fight in a few]

[Ronin]

Ronin moved in front of Yuri, knowing he would have to show his true bankai if he was going to deflect that attack safely. At his current state, the ability his Bankai had would not be enough. He hoped the 'Captain' would get up before he had to give away his secret.

[Yuri Nakayama]

Yuri was surprised to see Ronin move in front of her. Even though he was being brave, Yuri would feel horrible if anything happened to him because of her. She pushes him out of the away, making sure he was a bit of distance away from her before using a Kidou (Hit, number nine) to completely paralyze him. She knew with his spiritual power he would be able to break free, but she hoped he wouldn't do it until she was either hit by the Cero or somehow managed to survive. "Sorry.. But I can't allow you to sacrifice your life for me!"

As she saw the attack come closer, it was as if she froze. Yuri felt really cornered. However, she had faith in her captain that he woudl save her.

[Ryouji Onigata]

Ryouji opened his eyes slowly and hopped up to his feet and performed a flash step which placed him in front of Yuri. A white substance began to form around his face, manifesting itself into his hollow mask at the very last second, Ryouji turned and grabbed Yuri and performed a blinding flash step, moving her away from the impact area of the blast. With his arms wrapped around her tightly, Ryouji reappeared near Ronin and placed Yuri on her feet. "Stay here Yuri...I trust Ronin won't let harm come to you, and neither shall I from this point forward. I must tread carefully, I do not know how long I can maintain this form" Ryouji released Yuri and turned around to face Shiva a second time.

He performed yet another flash step appearing, right in front of Shiva and by the expression she wore on her face, she to was caught off guard "Kuroi Enkou no Massatsu" Quickly waving his sword, Ryouji released a small yet powerful black colored ball of flame which exploded upon hitting Shiva from point blank range. Ryouji's eyes began to glow as he watched Shiva fall down toward. As she continued to fall he performed yet another flash step and appeared in front of her, mimicing her movements as she fell. He reached forward, grabbing her face with his left hand, gripping it tightly. He narrowed his eyes and peformed yet another one, appearing an inch above the ground, smashing her head into the ground with all of his might causing the street itself to crack from the force.

He turned his attention to Shukumei with his eyes glowing once again. He remembered what happened the last time she asked to see the Vizard form Ryouji had aquired a mere few hours before and she defeated him. With Bankai and his Vizard form activated, he was far stronger now than he could have ever hoped to be, but yet he still felt he could become stronger still.

[Rin Onigata]

Shiva's smirk faded quickly. It was rare that she was ever caught off guard. She pushed herself up to a standing position. He managed to hit her twice all within a few seconds of each other. He was different than before, much different. "You are not the same Shinigami...you are something else. This new found strength of yours intrigues me greatly" Shiva looked and bowed to her mistress. "May I continue my master?" Shukumei shook her head from side to side telling her know and that was that.

She lifted her head and turned to face Ryouji "Enjoy the victory sir, for once we meet again we shall continue this battle" Shiva walked toward her mistress and stood beside her and sheathed her Zanpakuto while keeping a close eye on Ryouji. She too did not understand why she said no, perhaps she did not feel it was time to allow Shiva to release her Zanpakuto at least not yet.

[Yuri Nakayama]

Yuri blinked, just coming to terms with what just happened. If it wasn't for her captain, she would of been dead and was greatful for that. Looking over to him, she was glad that the fighting had stopped for now. Still, she couldn't let her guard down just yet. Gripping her Zanpakutou tightly, she kept most of her focus on Shukumei, assuming that if anyone would start anything, it would be her.

[Ronin]

Ronin easily broke free. He walked to her, knocking her on the head lightly with his sheath. He then moved away, walking away from them. He glared at his former Captain, walking past them. He then looked at Yuri, shaking his head.

"Yet another Shinigami that doesn't trust me.... She's right.... things need to change...."

He flash stepped away, more hurt that she didn't trust him to protect her than from not getting to battle.

[Yuri Nakayama]

Yuri heard Ronin say what he did, feeling horrible. It wasn't that she didn't trust him. She just hated to be the one to blame if he got hurt or even died. After everything was said and done, she'd have to find him and explain everything to him. "I didn't mean it like that..."

[Ronin]

After Ronin cooled down a little, he returned back to the others. He then stood away from them, not wanting to get involved. He would not interfere until they were incapable of fighting. If they did not trust him to save them, he simply would not try.

[Yuri Nakayama]

Sensing that Ronin returned, she gave a slight nod to him, keeping her eyes on Shukumei. now is her chance to explain. "About earlier.. I did trust you.. I just didn't want you to get hurt.. If you did, I couldn't forgive myself.." And she meant it too. She would be devistated that someone got killed because of her.

[Ronin]

Ronin simply shruged. She was allowed to save him, but he could not save her? She was not helping his thoughts on the matter. He decided it best to not speak, he did not want to have to fight her Captain, his Bankai ability would most likely see them both dead. He just stood there, waiting for something to happen.

[Ryouji Onigata]

Ryouji kept his eyes on his sister after giving her what it was she sought since coming to the human world with her two Arrancar, which was for him to fight at his full potential. "Are you satisfied yet sister? Have I not done what you have asked of me to do? Now it is time for you and I to put an end to this" Tilting his head back slightly, Ryouji narrowed his eyes while gripping his Zanpakuto tightly. His eyes flashed quickly before he performed a flash step, heading directly for Shukumei. "This ends NOW!!" Ryouji appeared where Shukumei was standing only to find that she was not standing there. He gasped and turned his around slowly,noticing that she was standing behind him.

[Shukumei Onigata]

Shukumei smirked after noticing that her brother couldn't track her movements. She turned around slowly and looked at him, even whilesmiling her eyes were cold, and full of hatred even for her own sibbling. "It seems that you missed brother. Although I must admit, you manage to best my dear Shiva while in that form, however I shall not fall victim the same way she did" Shukumei snapped her fingers and watched as her brother's mask split in half. The look he had on his face was priceless to her. "Originally I did not want to show you the differences in our power so soon but you leave me no choice. It will not kill you unfortunately but it will keep you out of my hair" Shukumei performed a flash step of her own, appearing in front of her brother,throwing him off guard completely. With her pointer finger extended out completely. She places her pointer finger on the center of Ryouji's forehead and closes her eyes, smiling.

From point blank range, Shukumei's finger begins to glow a very bright white and unleashes the White Lightning Kido spell straight through the center of Ryouji's head. A loud scream follows before he falls backwards onto the ground with his eyes glazed over. His Zanpakuto reverted to normal thereafter. She giggles "Silly Brother, you are no more of a threat to me than Ronin or Yuri, now with you out of my way I can continue on with my plan"

Shukumei stepped over Ryouji's body and looked directly up at Ronin before smirking "Would you care to try your luck as well? Go ahead and unleash your Bankai. I have a very special Kido in store for you, you spoiled Brat" Shukumei then focused solely on Yuri, the facial expression she wore was something she expected. A sense of loss, hurt, and fear that something may become of her precious Captain.

[Yuri Nakayama]

Yuri's eyes had widened as she watched Shukumei fired a Kidou at point blank. He couldn't be dead.. Her captain was too strong just to give up that easily. "C.. CAPTAIN! She moves over to him, kneeling down as she starts to shake him, her eyes starting to water. "C..Come on Captain.. Get up.. Y..You can do it.. Y..You're strong you know.. You.. you can do anything!" AS she saw him not move, it worrried her even more to the point where she couldn't hold back and cry. Then here eyes shift over to Shukumei, unable to understand why or how she could do this.

"H..How can you do this? He is your brother! Of..of course siblings fight! IT's normal! B..b.ut this.." She was struggling with herself to stay where she was. She wanted badly to have a chance to fight with the former captain for what she did.

[Ronin]

Ronin laughed. He was not as ill prepared to battle her as his former Captain thought he was. He had studied her fighting all the time he was in her squad. Also, she was assuming that this Yuri, speaking in a slightly cold tone.

"Get that 'Captain' out of here.... he never should have faught her.... He was ill prepared. Get going! Neither of you are safe here...."

Hs pupils were red flames, like they were before at the shop. He closed his eyes starting to laugh at his former Captain. This was now his fight, and he was tired of people assuming he was weak. He had been training in the shop for a VERY long time, having discovered his Bankai under intense training from the old man. He had not just reached his Bankai like everyone thought, he had perfected it. He opened his eyes, now completely engulfed in fire.

"You never gave me enough credit.... I am MUCH stronger than you think......"

[Yuri Nakayama]

Yuri didn't want to leave him behind to fight Shukumei all by himself. However, if she didn't go, he would just think that she didn't trust him. So to show him that she indeed trust him, she lifts her captain's arm around her neck, slowly getting him up to his feet. She was going to be slowed down due to him weighing so much. "Be careful.."

[Shukumei Onigata]

Shukumei began to laugh and laugh hard does he honestly believe he's going to be the savior all who she faces? It was almost sad how much he believed in himself. "You want to be the hero Ronin, the human who surpasses all other shinigami to reach a level power never heard of in past generations. Come, allow your former captain to strip away your pride and leave you with doubts of your own abilities" She smiled as she always did and she waited for him patiently. "Today you learn why I am called the Violent Wind"

[Ronin]

Ronin looked to her, shaking his head. He did not have to win, all he had to do was stall for time. He knew that in his current state, she was more powerful. But she did not know the extent of his Bankai. He smiled, speaking in s low tone.

"Bankai.... Bindzume Fukisusabu Ryoukan Kaen"

In an instant, his robe shattered off, replaced by a flaming Shinigami uniform. His twin Zanpaktou turned white, the blades igniting in flames. His eyes were consumed in fire, glaring at his former Captain. His spiritual pressure increased exponentially, the force more than capable of bringing most Captains to their knees. He stared at her, wanting the answer to one question in particular.

"Why me? Why did you make me your Leutenient? Although I defeated all my peers and all who wanted the job, why pick someone who was not a true Shinigami?"

[Shukumei Onigata]

She chuckled slightly upon hearing the question. It seems that even he is not above his own flattery but the answer to his question was possibly the simpliest to answer. She had hoped that this dance would not become a questionaire in verbal form. "You believe that you 'defeated' all the rest to obtain the position you were given. My influence goes far greater than to these two servants of mine. I merely wanted to see the capabilities that you human shinigami possessed" She placed her left hand on her hip while using her right hand to brush aside the hair covering her eyes. A grin formed to her face while she stared at Ronin. "The one known as Aizen, gave me clear in structions for his own plan and I must say Ronin you've lived up to your end of the bargain. One such as you and him have proven his theories to be correct"

She tilted her head to the side slightly and closed her eyes, giving a big cheesy smile. "To answer this question without the fluff, I had no choice, no human should ever hold such a position of power" She removed her left hand from her hip and stared at Ronin itching to teach him a thing or two "Show your strength Ronin, show me the ignorance that allows you to think you can completely ignore the fact that you can not and will never defeat me in battle" She reached back slowly gripping the sheathed Zanpakuto and tosses it to ground. "Shiva, Kyouteki, bring the two Shinigami back to me alive, this shouldn't take long at all" Shukumei hoped that Ronin would find her words harsh and disrespectful, so that he would attack with all of his strength
