Underground Training Facility
A new training facility was built directly under the squad three quarters just recently and it can only be accessed by squad three members by passing through a secret route. Unlike their normal grounds, this one was built indoors and everything was covered in white; the walls, ceiling, floor and even the doors. Where Captain Zique got the funds to build this facility is currently unknown. The facility has a special device made by the former twelfth division captain, Si Misawa, planted to it that can increase the spiritual level and gravity in the room, making it harder for the members to move, depending on how high it is set. It has more functions but Zique only prefers using the two mentioned above. The movement of the members of the third division become slower due to the "weight" that is placed on their bodies and the spiritual pressure in the room. The members can unleash their true ability here without damaging the place due to the high quality materials used to build it. And because of that, this place is ideal for shikai and bankai training.

Two large plain white metal doors parted to the side as Zique came into sight, still holding Agi by the collar of the shirt. His free hand rubbed the back of his neck. He walked in the huge training facility, dragging Agi with him. When he was a few feet away from the doors, they automatically closed on their own. "You know what, I take back what I said about promoting you." Again with his monotonous voice. "You're not worthy enough," he declared. He recalled seeing a note in one of the cork boards in the barracks concerning a new recruit, he still hasn't seen him around the division though. Zique threw Agi a few feet away from him. "Activate." With that said, the settings that were previously fixed in the facility's system were put into effect. It suddenly became more difficult to move and breathe because of the increase in gravity and spiritual level which pressured both of the fighters. "Ready?"

Axle was dragged into the new training facility by his ever so nice captain. "You know, there ARE other ways to get me in here! For one, I could've walked here myself!" Zique didn't seem to care about Axle's ranting, he does it so often that his voice is probably just mere noise to Zique's ears, instead, he proceeded to 'activate' the room. "Eh... It feels weird in here..." Axle finally got up from the ground, where he was tossed. He was surprised to hear that Zique wanted to fight already. "Really!? Just like that you want to fight!? Well.. It's not like a have a choice when it comes to you I guess." Axle grinned, then brought out his short sword and took a few steps back. "Alright then, you make the first move."

"You can walk?" Zique replied, sarcasm dripping from his voice. But the empty gaze still remained in his eyes, which was peculiar. He let his arms hang at his sides and bent his knees down, leaning forward a bit as he did. "I see you are always unable to make the first move." He lifted his foot and before it would even touch the floor, he vanished and reappeared beside Agi, sword held in reverse, and it was inches away from Agi's neck. He would have left an afterimage in his previous location and his zanpakuto would have decapitated Agi by now, but because of the room altered the gravity and could burden the fighters with the heavy spiritual energy, he was not able to execute moves as swift as he would normally do.

Axle was stunned in shock as Zique suddenly vanished. 's**t' He didn't think that Zique could still maintain this speed under this pressure. His neck could suddenly feel the warmth from Zique's blade, and almost instinctively, Axle let the pressure bring him down and he fell backwards on his butt. Using his hands behind him for support, he swooped his leg with the intention to hit Zique's leg and hopefully of balance him, but with the pressure of the room, his leg dragged on the floor and only hit Zique's feet. 'I'm at a horrible disadvantage being on the floor' He thought to himself.

[His blade was warm? rofl ]
Zique merely had to hop up to evade Agi's leg. "You can do more than this..." He landed with his right leg on the floor and brought his left leg back, preparing to kick Agi in the face. "I think."
[Yeah, one-liner. I really haven't feeling like posting for days. Sue me. scream ]

Seeing as he was about to get kicked in the face [AGAIN rofl ], Axle pushed himself, and rolled back to evade Zique's foot, then he leaped up and stretched out his right arm to punch Zique's face. XziqueX [Yeah, one-liner. I really haven't feeling like posting for days. Sue me. scream ] yeah, your grammar proves it rofl

[Told ya. Been*]
Zique ducked the punch delivered by Agi quite easily because he was just really slow and the punch was very sloppy. He extended his left leg in an attempt to sweep him off his legs to get him back down on the floor. To make it slightly more difficult for Agi, he formed his hand into gun and charged kido on the tip of his finger. "Hado #4: Byakurai." A white ball of energy formed on his pointer before shooting out the white lightning aimed at Agi's stomach. "If you're going to try dropping down on the floor again, I hope you know it won't work." Zique had something else up his sleeve in the case that Agi would indeed let himself fall.

Axle seeing the lightning on the tip of Zique's finger, didn't even notice his leg sweeping in. He dropped to the ground from getting imbalanced by Zique's leg. Upon landing on the floor, he gripped his short sword and attempted to stab Zique's left leg.
Axle heard a voice ranting almost in the form of a shout but the volume being low. [like when someone on tv is shouting but the volume is low rofl ] "Eh?" 'Did Zique say something? Was that even Zique?' Axle had a confused look on his face by now.

"Stop spacing out, monkey." Zique immediately noticed that something was off with Agi's movements and he could read the confused look on his face. He pulled his leg closer to him and at the right time, he kicked Agi's wrist for him to let go of his short sword. He pulled his leg back again and regained balance with his two legs. He looked like he was about to punch Agi in the face when he raised his pointer charged yet another Byakurai with his finger and aimed it directly at Agi's face. "C'mon boy, you can do it."

"Monkey!? Who the he--" Axle was cut off when Zique kicked his sword out of his hands. 'Oh s**t' Instead of stabbing Zique's leg, his empty hand just hit the floor, the state of the room caused his hand to hit the ground surprisingly harder than usual, how convenient! Before he could get up, he saw Ziq about to punch him, so he caught Zique's fist into his left palm. "Eh, that wasn't strong at all! What's wrong Zique? The room too much for you?" He said with a sarcastic grin. The grin was lost when he felt Zique's finger poking his palm, with some static coming from it. "I hate you." Axle tried jumping off to the side, but realizing how hard he fell because of the room's pressure, he realized that he had wasted his energy. So he tried rolling to the sided instead, grabbing his sword in the process.
Suddenly in a blink of an eye, he found himself in a dark place. "Eh. Where the hell am I?" A dim light came in from the end of the cave. "It's cold. The cave is made of ice?" Axle walked to the light and eventually came across a wolf-like creature. "Who the hell are you?" Axle asked. The wolf spoke "You idiot, who do you think I am!?" Axle looked confused. "S-Sorry, have we met?" The wolf seemed frustrated. "ARGH! You're too much of an idiot to talk to the way you are now! I'll call you back when you're a little less stupid! There's no point in telling you who I am now if you won't hear it!" Axle was suddenly back in the 'real' world, and was holding his short sword facing Zique. 'Eh?'

"You're not taking me seriously. I haven't drawn my zanpakuto yet and you're already being killed by the pressure in this place." Zique stood up straight and lifted his left hand in front of him in the shape of a gun once again. "Bakudo #61: Rikujōkōrō" Six thin but wide beams of light were summoned and they were aimed at Agi's midsection before crashing in the middle. "I can't believe we're related and have the same blood flowing through our veins." With Agi now unable to move, assuming that he was bound by the Rikujōkōrō, Zique chanted another Kido. "Hado #63: Sōren Sōkatsui" This version of the Kido is similar to #33 except it has more potency and is doubled. A blue ball of energy formed at the tip of his pointer and two blasts of energy burst out towards Agi's chest with a speed almost that of light. "Move or die." He showed no hints of being sarcastic as usual in his voice. Zique showed that he was serious in this battle and until Agi took it seriously, he would wear him out until he dropped to the ground, dead. He cared not even if they were related by blood and that they were twin brothers.

Before even being able to move due to the room's pressure, Axle had been pinned down by a Bakudo spell, and had dropped his sword in the process. Then he heard Zique chanting another spell. 'He's really gonna kill me!' Axle struggled and eventually his movements led to his right index finger to tap his katana which was at his left sheath.
He was in the dark ice tunnel again, and the wolf was there but asleep. "Wake up!!!" Axle shouted at the wolf. It stood up and glared at Axle "Of course I'm awake you idiot." The wolf said with a grin. "I think I know who you are. Your my zanpakutou aren't you." Axle said. The wolf eyed him a bit more proudly this time, and spoke. "Well you do have a brain after all." Axle grinned taking this as a complement. "Pay attention you twit." The wolf barked. "Eh sure what is it?" Axle asked. "Your brother is gonna kill ya' so I'll make this quick. I'm Ganberu, I'm based on ice, get a lil' stronger and I'll let ya' tap into my lightning abilities, but stick to ice for now. I'm not just your zanpakutou or katana, I'm your partner. I don't ever want to see you make such big fusses every time you drop your damn short sword because I'm always here waitin' for whenever you might need me! My job is to make sure we both get through the day with our heads screwed on right or anything to that effect. The moment you get outta our lil' world here you're gonna have to call me out whether you like it or not. If you heard my name, and if I hear your call, things should work out well. See ya!" And with that being said by Ganberu, he kicked Axle out of their world and sent him back where he was caught in some spell and was about to be hit by another.
Axle was confused and at panic. 'This again!? What did he say his name was!? He spoke so damn fast! G--Ganberu!' He struggled amongst his thoughts. Axle remembered one particular thing that Ganberu said 'My job is to make sure we both get through the day with our heads screwed on right or anything to that effect' Zique's attack was only centimeters away when Axle finally got the words fixed in his head, so he cried out "Shigoto wo shite Ganberu!" At that instant, his katana turned into gauntlets on his hands, and ice scattered freezing the kido. Axle bashed away the ice and fell to the ground only to stand up again. "Holy crap Zique!!! My katana turned into gauntlets!!! Looky looky!!!" He cried out pointing to his new weapon.

The first part of the purpose of this training session was now achieved. At first, Zique only planned to make Agi his punching bag to vent out his stress caused by the sudden death of his former lieutenant, Dante. However, as the fight continued, he slowly shifted it to a training session for his brother to finally obtain his shikai. For a third seat, it was odd for him to not at least the shikai release of his zanpakuto. In fact, he may be the only one. But even after the first purpose was accomplished, the fight does not stop there. In fact, this can only be considered as the beginning of the fight. It was clear that Agi was already capable of releasing his zanpakuto until shikai, but he has yet to do anything else with it but freeze the Kido that he was bound with to break free and regain his movement. Despite him being such an idiot most of the time, if not all the time, Zique knew that he had more to offer than this. He may not be able to execute them all right now, seeing as this is the first time he is ever using his shikai. Zique could tell that his was a constant release type and so his zanpakuto would remain to appear as such until the rest of his Shinigami life. "Gauntlets, how lame," he muttered under his breath. The appearance of his shikai fit him and his fighting style perfectly, and Zique could say that nothing else could have been better than that.
"Holy crap, Agi, you're still not winning! Looky, looky!!" Zique imitated Agi to mock him. He was quite good at it, considering they were twins. He muttered a few words quietly and the gravity and spiritual pressure settings in the room were adjusted to make movement even more challenging. The two of them would both have a heavy feeling when attempting to move. Zique wouldn't be as fast as he was before but most definitely still faster than Agi for he was never the speedster type, rather the idiotic one who charges at his opponents head on. This may sometimes be the cause of his advantage or disadvantage, depending on the case. He proceeded to release his shikai as well, not because he deemed it necessary just because Agi released his, but because he felt like it now, and he rarely did. "Ikinaruhe, Ikugami." He drew his zanpakuto out and took the form of a whip, instead of that of a katana. A zephyr signaled his release. He yanked the whip around Agi's arm and pulled it for it to tighten. He then let some of his lightning reiatsu to flow through it.

Axle pouted at hering what Zique had said. "Don't have to be a douche about it!" His eyes widened at the sudden increase of pressure, and he dropped to one knee. "You're being unfair, let me control the room."when Zique's whip caught Axle's arm, his reiatsu jumped, and the gauntlets turned into mere gloves. "What the hell is this!?!? Come on Ganberu!!!" Axle yelled out. "You're reiatsu's hard to get in sync with! Keep it steady you idiot!" Ganberu stated. "Sor--" His reply had been cut off by the lightning surging from Zique's whip. "G--Gan--Ganberu!!!" He called with a bit of anger in his tone. Suddenly the gloves turned back into gauntlets. The gauntlets emitted ice which did not stop the conduction of electricity, but did help in slipping his arm away. As he slipped it out, he rolled back and dashed towards Zique using the pressure to stay low, and attempted to punch Zique's stomach as ice spikes formed on the knuckles of the gauntlets. "Haha!" Axle said with a hint of hurt in his voice, yet still attempting to mock Zique.
