Welcome to Gaia! ::

((@Jam: Yes, I know. XD; @Takeshi: Oath, I will drown you in Jigoku Water. >3))

Just as he was expecting, Xeion did take the bait even though it seemed that he knew that everything was just an act undertaken by Ky himself to agitate Xeion enough to make him fight willingly. Maybe his beliefs were that strong that even just faking an insult to the entirety of womanhood was enough to make Xeion pissed. Well, at the very least, this was the beginning of a fight that would prove more entertaining than dealing with those pathetic excuse for hollows before in the desert and in the labyrinth. Xeion was more than a worthy opponent for any man as he was an obstacle one has to overcome in order to prove himself as someone "strong".

A small snicker escaped Ky's mouth which slowly turned into a hearty laugh from the Bount leader as he then began to speak. "Hehehe...hahaha...HAHAHA...MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Ky laughed, his voice echoing all over the room until his maniacal laughter stopped and looked at Xeion's serious face. Seeing that he was ready to fight him without a moment's hesitation, Ky made absolutely sure that he won't hold back by taunting him yet again. It was like salting a bull's open wound, but Ky was determined to make Xeion as angry as he could to not only fight him, but fight him seriously.

"Aww, I'm so happy for you. You get a new toy to f**k around with," taunted Ky with a devious smirk, sliding his hand down the length of Xeion's sword's edge with his index finger, tracing the steel until he came close to the serious shinigami's face. "Why so mad? Why go to such lengths to avenge that b***h's dignity, huh? Do you like her or something?" asked Ky. "If I were you, I'd stop trying to impress girls by acting all "I'll defend your honor" and just move straight to banging her brains out. Seriously, you have every girl you meet eating out of your hands like a hungry b***h. The least you could do is give her a doggy treat while you're at it."

Ky smiled then playfully jumped back as his second barrage of insults would surely make Xeion fight more seriously now than before. This was the thing Ky was looking forward to. "Well, let's cut the chit-chat and get on with it, shall we? After all, we don't want to keep our humble audience from waiting now, do we?"

Turning to Lemo, Ky looked at him with devious eyes with a smiliarly devious grin. He pointed at him with one finger and gestured over to his cameras and monitor trying to emphasize a point. "Hey, Lemo, you better put that damned voyeurism to good use. You're lucky to witness a bout between two Ravens whom you guys were this close to fighting!" said Ky, putting his index finger and thumb almost together so that Lemo as well as any other arrancar could see just how close they were to incurring the wrath of the Ravens. He then turned back to Xeion, his eyes serious and filled with excitement.

With a deceptive smile, Ky walked towards Xeion. "I'm jealous, you would kiss an arrancar you'd just met, but not me? Well, how about a kiss from your old friend Ky," he said, his arms wide open while he was nearing him, but suddenly stopped mid-way as his eyes turned deadly and his smile turned into a smile of twisted excitement. "Or better yet, how about a kiss from this!!!"

Without warning, Ky withdrew his rapier and sent a stab to Xeion's chest as a form of a taunt then immediately skipped back to where he once was. "Heh, that was just an appetizer, Xeion. Now it's time for the main course."

Waving his rapier, it turned into Geheimnis as Ky immediately fused with it and became one with his Doll. "Name, Ky Die Verrater. Raven leader. Raven number seven. ARC restrictions canceled until target has been silenced. ARMS activation authorized," said Ky in a muffled, semi-mechanical voice as alchemical energy gathered around his back, forming eight mechanical tentacles, with four on each side of his body, that looked as if each individual one was alive. With a smile, Ky announced his ARMS' name since it was customary for Ravens to do so. "Raven ARMS "VII", "Wicked Hydra".

((To those of you curious enough, this is what Ky's maniacal laugh sounds like, but just replace Alucard's voice with the voice I posted in Feiy's thread in the OOC. Also, this is what the Wicked Hydra's "heads" look like.))

[Note: ARMS is an acronym for "Automated Raven Machina System", a Raven-exclusive machine-weapon system created as a manifestation of a Raven's desire through the use of the alchemical powers of the Raven's ARC (Ascended Raven Code) on his forehead. All Ravens have this ability, but one problem with this is that it would deplete a Raven's reserves of energy after one fight and then he/she would lose consciousness for three days afterward.]

Lemo continued to configure his new system, and did not take notice of Ky's previous remark, or else he would've chopped Ky's head off with his bare hands. But he did hear the last slur of pottymouthed words that spilled into the frozen room like lava in his eardrums. To this Lemo shook hs head, and placed his hat back upon his head, the wires and cabled disconnecting themselves and retracting into his tower as the Espada stood up.
"If you're trying to get a reaction from anyone, you are certainly going about it the wrong way, Ky." he said sharply.
Lemo then sonido'd in between Ky and Xeion, letting Ky's first stab bounce off his hierro as he smiled watching the doll's apperance. Lemo smiled wider watching Ky fuse with it, and pulled out his short sword in response, testing its weight before returning his gaze to Ky; though he adressed Xeion,
"I suppose you're going to handle this? Certainly since he is your superior, he has some meaning to you with those hurtful words, does he not?"
Lemo did not have intentions of engaging Ky, but he certainly wasn't going to stand for such obsenities in his presence towards a female.

Takeshi growled when he heard all that Ky had said. The wing on his right side flared up, and he clenched his fists. Then, with his right hand, he grabbed his zanpakuto from his back. His zanpakuto was a shield, with a flame imprinted in the middle of it. He put it out in front of him, and braced his feet to the ground.

Lemo obliged Xeion, and stepped aside knowing that Ky was simply putting on an act to get a rise out of his subordinate. But as he did, he gave Ky a very testing look as he moved out of the way. This was merely to remind the bount of where he was, and that certain boundarys here would require a certain level of resolve behind them if he wanted to push those types of threshholds, so to speak. At least in Lemo's presence, as he was an honorable person once you got to know him; and did not put up with such slander towards the female gender...
"I understand Xeion-san, and just ask that you do not do further damage to my lab, after our little escapade with the system 'malfunctioning' I'd rather not increase my workload. Matter of fact . . . " Lemo trailed off, crouching down.
He placed both hands on the floor, palms down, and re-layered the room with a secondary thin layer of ice. This just added to the coating that was already lining the room, and merely felt like everyone had layer of padding put under them.
"There.. Its like hierro, but ice. The kind I use ion my own quarters is the classic no-slide Ice, so don't worry, I didn't just give you a recipe for disaster." he told them.

((Raven's Battle Theme: The Fourth Duel Song))

Seeing Ky's Hydra lunge at him with ferocious speed, Xeion grit his teeth, ready for defense. Xeion could easily use his Dark Mirror to easily get out of harm's way, but if he did, he would endanger the lives of Rakey-san, Kat-chan, Lemo-san, and Takeshi-san, who were innocent bystanders, behind him. Xeion was duty-bound to take his stance and take the bulk of Ky's attacks in defense of those behind him. After all, his ARMS wasn't called 'Royal Guard' for nothing.

Reacting to Xeion's desire to defend, seven of the eight shining swords flew in front of the Hydra heads and emitted blue, semi-transparent barriers with alchemy symbols etched on them as a giant shock wave was produced, slightly breaking the hierro-like ice which padded the entire room which only suggested just how powerful the shock wave was when Orihalcum steel clashed against Orihalcum steel, also creating massive sparks due to powerful friction as their surfaces were grinding.

Now that seven of the eight heads were dealt with, the only thing left was the last head which was headed straight for him, along with a barrage of bullets from Ky's newly-transmuted right arm. "Tch," Xeion grunted, seeing that Ky wouldn't allow him to exploit even the tiniest opening in his defense. But then again, this was Ky -- a battle-hardened warrior with hundreds of years of experience under his belt. Xeion could expect nothing less from the commander of the Ravens as well as his friend whom he had already fought with on several occasions, but not as intensely as the current one, due to the use of the Raven ARMS.

Xeion slanted the eight broadsword which he held on his left as the same semi-transparent barrier appeared in front and defended against the eighth Hydra head and the gattling gun bullets with it. The sheer force of the blow the Hydra head made when it slammed against the Orihalcum steel was enough to push back Xeion, even with his stable footing on the ice, several inches, but was luckily able to stop his momentum before he had the chance to crash into the back where the Arrancar were seated.

"Ky," grunted Xeion. "Would you mind...if we moved to some place where we couldn't do much damage...?" he asked, remembering what Lemo-san had requested of not adding further damage to the lab as well as because Xeion was worried for the welfare for the Arrancar who might get hurt in the battle. Xeion couldn't forgive himself if innocents were to get injured because of his reckless actions.

Exerting pressure against the Hydra head, forcefully pushing it back as he made his way to his previous location just a few meters in front. Using the force of the Hydra head to his advantage, he then slightly slanted his other sword and allowed the Hydra head to freely fly to a different direction, allowing Xeion to make an opening in Ky's seemingly flawless defense.

With his right leg, Xeion pushed off into a shunpo as he gracefully maneuvered his body, using his dexterity and weapons to dodge or deflect the oncoming bullets that flew his way until he was face-to-face with Ky. Quickly, Xeion jumped and turned his body around, using the momentum of the turn to add force to the reiatsu-enforced flying side-kick directed to Ky's armored chest.

Rakey smiled at Katsumi's response, true it wasn't the best scenario to meet someone. She reached to Katsumi's hand and returned the gesture. After doing so, she remembered Xeion's request of them to move away, though she wanted to move away so he didn't have to worry, she wanted to see the two's fight. While watching, she thought, Privaron Espada...106, meaninig she used to be the sexta espada...strong.

((Xeion, don't forget to mention the bullets which Ky is firing at you from the Maniak Wing in your post.))

((I am here for some very odd reason nobody paid me any attention again I feel left out why does this always happens to me, but you might want to save Razil first he his in more trouble then me I asleep in my cell he is fighting some one who could kill him so save him first.))
