Hiroko looked up. "Your not going to deny me. If you won't teach me your power I will take it from you." The monster that Hinata had started to bring out was still running strong. Hiroko got up and began to rush the spirit, suddenly it materialized a naginata and stabbed it into Hiroko's stomach. Blood suddenly spat out of his mouth, dying part of the chrome world red.
The machine man withdrew his weapon and the ground began to raise up and melt away as it became the platform again. "Don't underestimate me. You die and somebody else will get me. They may actually use me."

Feeling slight fluctuations in reiatsu from Hiroko's motionless body on the ground, Hinata smiled - things were probably getting heated up in there. Suddenly, she felt a nick on her shoulder and a small droplet of her own blood sprayed on her cheek.
"You bi-" She hurriedly delved back into her own world, just in time to catch Harikaze's sword with her own before it sank into her neck. "What is your problem? That was unfair, attacking while I was occupied with checking on my trainee!"
"Idiot. You weren't occupied. You were distracted. There's a difference: learn it."
Angered, the Shinigami jabbed forwards at Harikaze's stomach. To her surprise, Harikaze disappeared, then materialised again out of thin air, all in about a second. Hinata froze.
"- A technique you have yet to learn." Harikaze seemed to find the incredulous look on Hinata's face highly amusing.
"What are you saying, 'I have yet to learn'? Where did you pull that from?" Hinata questioned, her eyes wide. "You can't mean-"
She was cut off by her Zanpaktou spirit slashing her in the stomach, with such speed that even to her trained eyes, it appeared that she had not moved at all.
"Another."
Hinata became aware of the fact that her Zanpaktou had vanished from her hands, as had Harikaze.
"And another." Ten Harikazes appeared in a circle around Hinata, their silhouettes somewhat blurry and indefined. Her jaw dropped in a very un-ladylike way as the figures conversed on her.
"And..." The last glimpse she had of the scene was her Zanpaktou spirit - eyes aflame with white energy, hands grasping an invisible sword - before a whistle of air came behind her neck and darkness engulfed her.
Hinata's eyes snapped open.
She was still in the same bamboo field. Looking down at herself, she was relieved that her body had somehow remained intact. The wound on her shoulder from the fight with her Zanpaktou had miraculously healed itself. Her hand shot to her side - sure enough, the same sword was hanging at her waist.
She wondered if she had gone mad.

Hiroko punched the metal being. Dumb idea. The metal militiaman stabbed Hiroko again, but this time he threw the masked shinigami back up to the platform, then he leaped up after him and rushed towards him. "I told you not to underestimate me kid."
Hiroko jumped out of the way of the attack, and suddenly the platform shifted and Hiroko was slipping. A sudden clicking sounded as the metal man traveled opposite of Hiroko. "Don't upset the balance if you don't want to fall." He obviously showed some worry.
Hiroko rushed the metal man, and suddenly the platform tilted and the two went sliding off the platform and fell down a long ways into a bamboo forrest. "Thats what I'm talking about kid."
Suddenly four blades pierced into Hiroko's back and he screamed in pain for a moment before the impact. It hit hard and Hiroko's insides felt like jelly. He looked at the metal man and noticed something, screws.
Using the last of his strength he reached to the left side of the machina's neck and pulled the pin out that secured the head. Instantly the body went limp and the head began to cackle as the metal pulled up from the ground and a second body formed. "Perhaps you may be worth my time after all. Lets see if you can hear me now kid. My name is Hagane Ooku."
Without a beat he gave Hiroko a basic breakdown. He stuck the spearhead in the dirt and said, "I plant." Bamboo sprouted as he pulled the blade away. "I cut." He cut it down with the naginata blade and the bamboo liquified as it grew up his arm. "I reject." Suddenly Hiroko's weapon was pushed away. "And I attract," Then it was pulled in again towards the naginata. "I'll leave the rest for you to find out nub, just get back in that fight and ...
As Hiroko returned to the conscious world he spoke the same words that his zanpakuto spoke.
-------
First came a gargle in the mud, then a faint voice came, "GROW AND DOMINATE HAGANE OOKU!" The naginata formed in his hand as he planted it into the mud to get up. "I plant. Root." He rose to look Hinata in the eye and said, "Bring it."

"Oh yeah?" Hinata challenged, hopping up swiftly, "let's see what new skills you've got."
It would have been discourteous for her not to have released her own Shikai in that moment, and as she called out her release command: "Chime, Harikaze!", a ferocious wind was whipped up in the bamboo field, causing leaves to rustle and stalks to sway in protest. When she emerged, armed with a white, rapier-like blade with a winged guard, a glint of battle spirit had appeared in her eyes. Around her lay the remains of bamboo leaves stripped away from their stems by her Shikai release.
Raising her blade, she slashed it vertically in the air. A row of glinting crystals formed, shooting towards Hiroko's figure with deadly speed and accuracy.

The projectiles came towards him so fast, he froze for a moment and just thought, 'Help me block them.' Suddenly the naginata bent down and swirled like a snapping rubber band and becoming a shield. The crystals fell off with a pinging noise to the ground.
'So long as you imagine it, I can become whatever you need. Now insert the shield into the ground to plant more seeds.'
Hiroko did as ordered and ran forward a few steps before jamming the shield into the ground and saying "Root." The last seed exploded forth from the earth and spat out another seed that rooted itself into the ground.
'Now just keep planting your crop and the seeds will keep growing. When we have enough we can do anything. Remember Hiroko, I am only limited by your imagination and the amount of material you have to use that imagination with. No doubt that she will become curious soon enough though, but let her be curious and the curiousity will drive her wild. That is when we will strike Hiroko. Remember the process, Grow, Cut, Reject, Attract, Dominate.'
((Would you mind if I just godmoded a little and automatically gave him 3 more plants every turn after this so as to truly show him the power of his sword? I could easily end this fight in 3 post if you say yes.))
(((Seeds Planted:3 Plants Grown: 1 Next Turn: 3-9)))

Mastur Sage ((Would you mind if I just godmoded a little and automatically gave him 3 more plants every turn after this so as to truly show him the power of his sword? I could easily end this fight in 3 post if you say yes.))
Interesting… Hinata thought as metallic bamboo sprouted forth from the ground where Hiroko had planted his Zanpaktou, and her crystals were blocked by his weapon suddenly morphing into a shield. As he ran around, sticking the shield into more areas, more plants were springing from the ground by the second. Raising her Zanpaktou slightly, she summoned her crystals back to her, and they circled her head warily like a glimmering halo. More of them streamed from her blade; while they appeared poised for any indication of attack, however, she herself was only holding a loose stance, and seemed more absorbed in studying Hiroko’s actions and decisions than anything else. It had always been a passion of hers to watch many people battle, observe their many different battle styles and learn from what she had gathered.
“Stop gawking already, idiot. Have you even considered that you’re right in the middle of his trap? Those bamboo aren’t just being planted to decorate the grounds – you never know what kind of attack he’s going to spring,” Harikaze chided impatiently.
“Then let the attack come,” the female Shinigami said calmly. “I can’t do anything but prepare myself in any case.” She then projected her voice over to Hiroko. “Done already? Come at me, then!”

More seeds spat forth from the three plants, making the total twelve plants. Hiroko planted another to make it thirteen, before saying, "You should know by now that I don't like to fight Fukutaicho. I'm quite content waiting here for you. We can just wait here all day for all I care."
((((I'll just fast forward it all then, because normally I can only plant one per post.))))
More seeds came, and another was planted, forty bamboo plants littered the ground ranging in height from six inches to six feet. "Though I wouldn't wait for to long, things are starting to get a bit crowded in here." Hiroko sounded confident, but in truth he had no idea what was going on at all, and decided to console with his zanpakuto spirit.
'What are we waiting on? Isn't this enough?'
'Just a little bit longer Hiro. Patience is a virtue after all. The battle has already been decided, but we are allowing ourselves to have more to work with, and allowing her to have a sense of false security. By the time she attacks it will already be to late. We will have enough to encase the entire battlefield, then we crush her. Or if you like slow deaths we let her run out of air.'
'I don't want to kill her.'
'Then don't, I'm simply making suggestions.'

"Aww come on, stop dawdling," Hinata said as the last shoot sprouted from the ground, making a total of thirteen. "You may have all day, but I still have a pile of paperwork waiting on my desk. Unless you'd be so kind as to do it all for me..." An evil glint appeared in her eyes.
By now, thousands of crystals had formed around her, making more and more rings until she seemed to be surrounded in a glittery vortex. Although she was not unduly worried about Hiroko's Zanpaktou, she would not like to be speared through with a metal bamboo stick, or indeed have even more of her hair chopped off.
"..."
"What is it, Harikaze?"
"Vanity," Harikaze said calmly, "is a sin."

Forty plants became a hundred and twenty.
'Now! Encase her. Encase everything.'
Hiroko smiled with his sharpened teeth. "Cut." The shield stretched out to a stalk of bamboo, then a sudden chain reaction happened, with the sound of a blade the plants became interconnected before melting to the ground, coating it momentarily before bursting into the sky. Hiroko would disappear from the vice captains view for a moment, then the top closed, leaving her in a giant cone shaped tomb, but not being a murderer, Hiroko formed small pores along in, making a giant cheese grater. Hinata could see light, but not see him. A sudden clench sounded as her prison grew smaller and thicker around her. The clinking noise of crystals against metal began to sound.
"Checkmate."
The prison peeled back and formed a suit of armor around Hiroko that made him seem like a giant, and in his hand was a giant weapon, a broadsword to most, but in proportion to the man in armor it was a thick dagger. Then the armor vanished entirely, leaving the unsealed blade in hand, unbent, before it yet again became a stick. "Good fight fukutaicho." He gave a small bow and picked up his mask from the mud. "Maybe we can fight again."
