Welcome to Gaia! ::

Danko bowed to Mashiro after Mashiro bowed to him, then he followed him over to the Captain and smiled and bowed "Captain MockaDash" he said politely.

Alder walked in right as Mock mentioned fighting, and his Zanpakuto revved so loudly that Alder dropped it in shock. "....My apologies...." Alder muttered. He was excited too, but noticed that the invitation wasn't open ended. He took a seat on the ground, nearly motionless. He couldn't control the flow of his emotions into his reiatsu, and he started to feel offset. He'd wanted to fight the captain for a long time, and these constant patterns of getting close, then being turned away were starting to frustrate him very deeply.

Danko smiled at the Captains request for him to challange Mashiro, he turned to Mashiro "Would you like to spar then, I have to inform you that I don't have my Shikai or know any Demon Arts". Dankou unsheathed Tebikikarafuji and slide his finger on the blade cutting it.

((Yes pleas do callme irish it has been deemed my nickname, and by all means be aggresive, I love a good RP battle))

Danko smiled as the sword came down, he brought his up and held it with two hands to block the strike as he countered by swinging a well-aimed kick for Mashiro's knee attempting to strike it and move it out of socket.

Mock's face showed no emotion. It was at times like this, that the Captain was focused the most. No anticipation, no excitement, no doubts, no nothing, could be perceived by peering into the Shinigami's eyes. The Captain was assessing Alder's strange demeanor.

Let's move then, not to interfere with Mashiro's and Danko's spar. Mock said, as he began walking until he was about a kilometer away from the other two, in that wasteland.

Turning to Alder, only then did he answered his question. I don't like drawing my blade if it is not needed. But seeing that it will somehow put you at ease, I'll comply to your wish. Saying so, the Captain reached for his wakizashi, kept inside his kusode, and held it in his right hand. Smoking from the pipe, that was hanging from the left corner of his mouth, he silently awaited for his subordinate to make his first move.

Mock was keeping his reiatsu at a low level, so as to not let it interfere in the battle for now. He leaped back once, dodging both consecutive strikes (the downward and upward ones that followed the same path) in one attempt, with rather ease. The second charge performed by Alder, described a semicircle in the air, and it would pierce through his body with an entry point on his right should and exit one on the right hip. Again, the Captain would simply chose to dodge it at first. The circular movement of the blade however, was just what he need to get close to Alder.

In order to describe any rotating motion with your arm, particularly when it's stretched out - as it was in Alder's case, in order to have reached Mock - you have to perform the movement with your shoulder's articulation. Applying pressure to it, as the head of the Humerus rotates on itself in the Glenoid cavity of the Scapula. This meant that applying the right amount of pressure and at the right time, to the one already being applied to the articulation, would injure or even possibly dislocate the shoulder in question.

As such, MockaDash lowered himself to avoid being cut by the first quarter circle described by Alder's rapier, and slammed his dagger against the blade of his opponent's Zanpakutou, forcing him to stretch his right arm further away from his body. The fact that he (Mock) was holding the weapon on his right hand, and that he clashed it against Alder's when it was furthest to his (Mock's) left, granted momentum to the clash. That, added to not only the fact that his blade was denser (unlike the light weighted rapier's, a wakizashi's steel is folded several times on itself, thus having its density increased in the process), but also to the fact that Mock was a master in strength and technique behind his sword blows, would surely allow him to be successful in pushing the rapier back.
If Alder would be unable to avoid this, he would surely have to deal with a shoulder injury. In any case, his attack was disrupted before being completed, and Mock was left with a perfect opening to strike at him.

He took advantage of this opening, by aiming to pierce Alder's stomach, with his wakizashi. Taking full advantage of his body current lowered position, as it granted him a lower gravity center, perfect for a thrust such as this one.

Danko did a handstand backwards, while doing this he aimed a kick at Mashiros head. He got back up and parried the spinning slice, then he sliced at Mashiros chest.
