Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zack lunged forward as he calls his next attack, and swings his zanpaku-to horizontally infront of him. "Shouten Shuuha!" He yelled sending a large dark purple wave at the clones' waves. As the toxin collided with them there was a rather large explosion. "Why are there five of you?!" He asked loudly confused as to what they were. He stared ahead as the explosion threw up a large dust cloud.

Zack suddenly felt a slight stinging sensation as he looked ahead. Realising he must have got behind him some how, but he was relieved he moved forward as he slashed. If not the blade would've gone much deeper. He saw a few of the acidic rain drops mess with the clones as they passed threw them. "Illusions?" He muttered as the toxin sliding into the air increased, and the surrounding area got dark like it was storming.

The grass around started to singe as the acidic rain hit them. Zack jumped forward remembering he was just stabbed, and he turned seeing a figure. He slammed his blade where it was unsure of its identity.

Zack watches Denkou lunge forward, and did a backflip trying to kick him as he went. He noticed Denkou rolled away before he could land the kick, and saw some kunai shaped lightning coming at him. He landed placing the large blade infront of him, and crouched behind it. The lightning slammed into the blade pushing for a second, but Zack flung the sword upwards stopping any more resistance.

"Close one..." He said standing back up, and looking to where Denkou had jumped. "Shouten Shuuha!" He yells swinging his sword directly upwards, and sending a toxic wave forward. The wave started to gather the acids as it went burning through anything in it's way. "Shouten Shuuha! Shouten Shuuha!" He yells again sending a wave to the right, and left of Denkou flying horizontally a few seconds after the first.

As the first wave started burning through the rock Denkou was hiding behind Zack made the wave tilt forward slamming into the ground. He hoped it would hit him, or if not force him out into one of the others.

Zack watched as his acid cut through the rock, and slammed into the ground. He was very suspicious when he saw Denkou rush out unharmed, but he shot lightning at Zack which cleared his doubts. "Shouten Shuuha!" He shouted sending a wave to counter his opponent's resulting in an explosion. He then saw more waves shoot into the sky, and swung his sword to the sky. "Shouten Shuuha!" He yelled aloud as the horizontal swing finished.

"Dang... I can only hit two..." Zack thought to himself as another explosion sounded in the air, and he saw another lightning bolt shoot into the sky. Unaware that it was fake he looked back to the clone. His face turned to an ackward expression as the clone stood still, and acid rain distorted it's appearance. "Where'd he g-" Zack cut off as the ground trembled under him, and he took to the sky. "Denka... Kansei..." Poison drew back into the blade as he took a hit in the leg, and ascended higher into the sky. His right leg stung as he looked down to see a strange orb.

Zack focused his reiatsu more towards his feet. He swerved and dodged around eight of the bolts, and held back two with the side of his blade. He slung his zanpaku-to upwards sending the attacks past him, and looked down to see the orb flying at him. "Oh come o- " He cut of as he turned his blade around pressing the switch, and swung it forward into the orb.

"Suppai Hitonomi! Full Speed!" Zack yelled as the two collided, and he concentrated hard on keeping the toxins in. "Araagh!!!" Sounded off a scream from Zack as he sawed through the orb. Right after the scream a figure dashed to the ground towards Denkou.

The second he reached striking range he flung his zanpaku-to at the ground under Denkou, but he was still in the path. Zack expected him to dodge, but just wanted to catch him in the four meter cloud of toxins that would be released on impact. "Trying to fool me by leaving the orb... I have to admit.. I fell for it at first, but the structure was to shaky for you to be close by!" He yelled mid-swing.

Zack looked up at the orb, and placed his zanpaku-to into the ground holding it with his left hand. He raised his right hand to his side as the cloud gathered on his right side two feet from his hand. Manipulating all of the toxins to an orb of his own, and it started gathering the acid rain as well.

"Let's have some fun then..." He laughed as he moved his arm and the orb infront of him, and it began to expand burning everything it touched as it moved. Leaving a dark smoldering path in the grass he pointed it toward the other orb, and the orb continued to expand and pulsate. It reached about twenty meters, and Zack lowered his had raising his zanpaku-to with both hands.

"Shouten Shuuha!" Zack yelled sending a dark wave at the orb giving it momentum as well as more toxins. He looked up panting having used a good portion of his reiatsu. If it engulfed the other orb, which it should, he would then redirected it at Denkou. If not he would then have to improvise on his next move.

Zack sighed as the lightning of the other orb ignited the toxins causing a huge explosion. He held his zanpaku-to infront of him to block any damage from the blast. This knocked him safely out of range of the clone's explosion. However the acid that had gathered in the orb sprayed violently in every direction burning holes in Zack's clothing, and singeing his skin before he got absorb it back into his blade. This process took awhile leaving him with some nasty burns.

However the explosion from the clone knocked him even farther, and disintegrated a good deal of his sleeves. He got up brushing himself off, and then proceeded to rip off the remainder of his sleeves revealing burnt arms. "Wow... sneaky sneaky... You almost got me with that clone... I would've rushed right at it too..." Zack laughed looking around for Denkou, and after a second or two looked up at him. Panting he began to laugh a little at the fun they were having.

"So there you are... You know... we should really finish this... My arms are killing me..." Zack joked moving a large amount of reiatsu into his zanpaku-to. After a little over half of the reiatsu he had left was in the blade it released a gigantic sixty meter cloud of toxins. "Denka... Kansei..." He said calmly holding his blade infront of him as the entire cloud began to draw back into the blade. He was panting heavily due to the amount of energy he used, and the amount of damage his body was feeling.

"This is probably the most reiatsu I've ever dared to put into an attack..." Zack thought to himself looking up at Denkou with a familiar glint of crimson shining in his eyes. The bandages began to fall from his face being burnt heavily by the explosion, and his own acid. He moved his blade to his left hip gripping tightly with both hands, and darted into the sky at the real Denkou. Zack used even more reiatsu to fly faster through the air than he ever could normally.

"Here I come!" He yelled as he neared his opponent, and the gap quickly closed. As soon as he came close enough to strike him Zack swung with all the strength he could muster. The slash came horizontally aimed at Denkou's left arm he was aiming to either injure it, or have his attack blocked at this point either one would work. "This is going to be one of my last attacks... I hope it works out well..." He thought to himself in the few seconds left before the attack finished, and a huge grin spread across his face from the pure excitement.

Before the attack could finish there was a conversation going on in Zack's mind, an argument. "Zack! What do you think you're doing... there's no way you can be serious!" Said the voice of Zack's little girl spirit as she stared angrily at him. "Way to go Zack! Take his arm off!" Laughed the young boy spirit from behind him as the girl snarled at him. "Oh come on! You both know I'm just trying to win... I'm confident that he'll block it in time..." He replied nervously to the two as he scratched his head.

"Honestly! What if he can't! Then what are you just going to ignore it, and keep on fighting?!" The girl yelled obviously getting more irritated. "Haha! Of course he will idiot!" The boy laughed histarically as he tried to make her angrier. "You aren't helping! Look... it's to late even if I wanted to stop... but yes... If my opponent doesn't stop I'll keep fighting..." He said trying to calm her a little before she lost it. "Ah! What's the point of that! He'd be defenseless if he lost his arm!" She argued even though Zack couldn't stop. "Well... He might be... but I doubt he would believe it... He probably wouldn't want me to stop anyway..." Zack continued to try and reason with her, but could tell he wasn't making much progress.

"Zack! Snap out of it dude! You're still fighting... pay attention before he kicks your a-" Zack cut him off at the last second with some final words. "Crap! You're right! Okay, but remember... It's not like I'm going to kill him... Don't worry..." He said to the little girl hugging her before he snapped back into reality. So little time had seemed to have passed as he returned to the fight. His blade was quickly closing in on his opponent, but his grin faded a little because of the girl's argument.
