xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє  Sonoka swiveled in the water as he dived into it. She felt an invisible cut go through her left side, instinctively reeling backwards from her position and losing a good bit of her precious air. Snatching her mask that floated beside her, she made way for the surface, using a step of condensed reiatsu to handspring herself from the water and land on the surface without sinking. "Hope there aren't any sharks around." she remarked, watching the bloodstained water swirl around. Fixing the mask back on her face, she pointed the sheath of her Zanpakuto at the water, charging a Cero at the base of the sheath. When it fired, she swung the sheath around in a circular motion, disrupting the path of the water and creating a tumultuous whirlpool in Waka's general direction. Either the whirlpool would spit him up to the surface for a perfect strike while he was disoriented, or he would easily drown himself if the whirlpool shoved him any deeper.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

 "I only see the truth of reality with my eyes."
"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ Waka, who had been preoccupied with going in from below for another blow now found himself swirling wildly into the air as a whirlpool flung him in a wide circle like a rag doll. His attempts to break free seemed futile too until he was rocketed upwards, sent skipping across the surface like a stone, the splashing revealing him, but the kido breaking as well. It was risky, and would cost a lot of energy, but this could at least halt his progression as a world record skipping stone. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hado # 73, Soren Sokatsui!" Two blasts turned to four, using an unchanted version towards Sonoka and the stronger version towards the cliff face to slow his pace and begin pushing him back at her, not only firing a missile, but becoming one as well. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєAs Waka was launched across the water, Sonoka braced herself for the impact of the Kido, raising her blade as it made contact and began pushing her back some. Though it was quite strong, it was also incantationless, not even nearing its full capabilities of strength. In a push of effort, she managed to slice the Kido in half, crashing the split beam into either side of her. As Waka rocketed towards her, she gave a knowing smirk. Despite all his talk, he was still going in for close range; or at the very least, mid range. Slamming a palm onto the water's surface and vaulting up into the air, she used her momentum to come down at him from above; blade tip pointed directly downwards in a stab towards his head. Once landing on the ground (water), she'd jab the base of her sheath into his neck.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫"Crap.." Waka had to think fast as she dodged him, cutting off the kido he was using for movement and holding up his flute, hoping for some serious luck. With the flute in hand he held it out, hoping to block her downward thrust. When she got in range, he muttered. "Hado #11, Tsuzuri Raiden." That way, he'd pass the current through his flute and blast right into the young Miss "Diez" as she called herself. Now the question was how prepared would she be? How prepared would he be? All he knew was that he could effectively block one attack. What she planned with the sheath, he would have to find out the hard wayxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєSonoka gave an impressed whistle as he blocked her first strike by trapping the tip in one of the holes of his flute. A spark of electricity flashed up her blade, sending electricity down her arm and conducting throughout her body. The fact that she had water clinging to her, didn't help. "Shocking." she remarked, through gritted teeth. Well then, according to his oh-so-precious theories about science, what comes in, must go out, shouldn't it? Waka had also been splashing around in a good amount of water, also making him an excellent conductor of electricity. It just depended on who had the higher damage tolerance, and how far either of them were willing to go. She swung the base of her sheath towards his neck. However, it wasn't meant to be altogether too damaging. She just meant to tap it against his neck, thus completing the channel for the electric current to go from the flute, through her blade, past her body, then conducted towards him through her sheath. His strategies were becoming worse and worse, if he was allowing her to backfire his moves against him. At this point, Sonoka had no intention of pulling back until he fried her brain, or something of the like. So it was either his decision to pull back, or hold the electricity to see how long they could both last before one of them fell.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫With nowhere to go and realizing what her plans were, he had nothing to do but take the strength of his own shock as it circuited through him and her. However, if she thought this would be a battle of attrition, he still had a free arm, as a matter of fact, he had a free arm with a weapon in it. With a swing, he brought up his katana, aiming to strike her across the stomach. He didn't mean to disembowel her, but any blow he landed would indeed make the circuit more intricate, and put her at a mild disadvantage. If he missed, the Seireitei would have an endless supply of fish for years to come.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє"Whoa there!" she remarked, curving her body around the blade as much as she could without breaking loose the circuit path. A good portion of the blade still ripped through the area right above her belt, splattering blood everywhere. "That's going to leave a mark." she chuckled, not at all fazed by the pain. After thousands of years of living, the feeling of pain had been lost along the road. Besides, her Hierro took a good portion of the damage, even if it hadn't blocked the blade entirely. Well, what to do, what to do. She was at the end of her rope...err, sword...err, sheath, and any more steps backward would cause the conduction path to break. If she didn't act fast, she'd soon be walking straight into his attacks. In an almost imperceptible move, she unraveled her pointer finger around the hilt of her blade, pointing it at Waka's head. Without even so much as a warning or a charge rate, an ivory colored Cero blasted out from her fingertip at a nearly point blank range. Unlike a blade, even minorly getting hit by it would be fatal; especially at a range like this. Instead of a battle, this was turning into more of a contest over the relic. It wasn't actually a bad idea, doing it like this. Survival of the fittest, right? Obviously, the stronger one would be the one to snatch the relic.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫Waka hadn't notice the change of finger, but he did notice the cero firing off of it. It was split second, but if close range ranged attacks were the name of the game, he would play ball. Extending his middle and index finger towards her, he fired off a Soren Sokatsui, blasting him backwards, breaking the connection as the Cero sent him flying underwater, blood seeping from his mouth and filling the water. He hadn't caught much of a breath, and what little was left would be murmured underwater, bubbles rolling up to the surface, the incantation on the wind. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hado # 73, Soren Sokatsui!" If he was going to sink and drown, he'd at least put another hole in her, or try to. Even if it missed, Waka would have to perform an emergency treatment and may not even be able to muster more strength to fight without going overboard on himself.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєAs he fired off a similar point blank ranged move, he broke the circuit as they both were sent hurling backwards from both blows. "An eye for an eye..." she muttered to herself, raising up her sheath to block what it could of the damage. She was sent reeling back across the surface of the water, sending an elegant spray of red and blue liquid into the wind. Not one to underestimate an opponent, not even one that had been hit point blank by a Cero, she instinctively felt the next attack coming, bracing herself for what was to come. As expected, another pesky Kido attack, same as before. However, with the incantation this time, it was more powerful than before, and a block with a sheath wasn't going to do. Vaulting up from the water, she pointed her blade at it, firing another Gran Rey Cero to combat the Kido. Hey, there was plenty of her blood flying around, so might as well. Though firing off so many Ceros had lead to a tax on her reiatsu as she landed once more on the surface of the water, shifting her position in case her opponent had any more fight left in him. In the worst case scenario, she'd just use the remainder of her reiatsu on her Resurreccion, snatch the relic, then make a break for it.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

No point in crapping out here. He gave himself a light shake, healing up the more minor wounds, blasting towards the surface. However, his reiatsu was much stronger than before. He hadn't released just simply sent out a surge to scare her and see what she would do. If she flipped and released, he could easily determine the next course of action, but if she didn't he would strike her point blank and suicide pact himself.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησє"Hmph, not bad." she muttered under her breath. As the Diez Espada, she was practically at the end of her rope. Not that the Diez had much rope anyways. Time for the Cero to step in. Drawing the length of the blade down the mouth of the sheath until it was at the tip, she deftly slid the blade back into the sheath, giving it a slight clicking sound as the two parts snapped back into one. "Disseminate, Shūha!" she commanded, wind and water whipping around her in a whirlpool-like fashion as her reiatsu heightened. When the torrent of water around her dissipated, nothing much could be noted about her Resurrecion. She looked exactly the same, save the fact that her Espada tattoo had changed from 10, to 0. It wasn't like anyone could pick out that fact either, since her mask was still in place. Other than that minor detail, her sheathed blade had turned into a pair of metal tonfas. They were lacking in cutting power, surely, but that only signified the more destructive force she would soon release upon the area. Getting a solid grip on her pair of weapons, she silently Sonidoed straight towards Waka, appearing in front of him and swinging her right tonfa at his chest. Packed with reiatsu behind it, it wouldn't be like any of the regular punches she had thrown before. Her speed had also considerably increased, though it was still quite slow when compared to a Captain class Shunpo.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"I only see the truth of reality with my eyes."
"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫Waka went crashing over the surface as he was literally turned into a baseball and batted away by a tough metal tonfa, feeling some ribs crack under the stress before slamming into a cliff face, more snapping as he connected with the hard rock. Standing and bleeding from a new wound in his chest, looking relatively battered, he brought up the flute, swiping his hand upon it. "Sing of Sadness, Sukoshi Nakidori." A gentle breeze whipped across the water, a slightly sad song drifting on the wind. The flute grew a blade comprised of reishi four feet long. "Soon you will know why the caged bird sings. Kanashimi no Utahime." Waka's blade literally just exploded, the reishi flying out into the sky, each particle actively seeking out Sonoka, trying to wrap her up in his reishi. And just in case.... "Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudo # 61, Rikujokoro." If this connected, she wouldn't be able to dodge the particles period and then she would detonate. But if she managed to dodge the kido and not the particles, the explosive reishi would still detonate what it could. And finally, as icing on the cake. "Bakudo #26, Kyoko." Even if she dodged, now she would have to find him. This would prove interesting, if Waka didn't run out of energy or blood first.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєSonoka gave a low whistle as the reishi flew everywhere like annoying flies. "And soon you'll know why my aspect of death is rage." she muttered under her breath. Raising both fists and her pair of tonfas, and shifting back and forth between feet, she threw forth several boxer-like punches into the thin air, sending out several shockwaves that would meet with the reishi particles, detonating them before they could reach their target. As for the Kido, she let it hit, if only for the fact that he may have had the misconception that he had her in his trap, despite the fact that she had cleared the area of the particles. Frozen in her boxer position with both arms raised, she stood still as the water lapped around her boots. This would be her chance for a sneak attack, seeing that she was supposedly rooted to the spot, and the fact that he didn't know she would be able to fish him out clearly this time, even with his pesky Bakudo in place. Unseen to the eye, nor could it be felt unless the user was at a microscopic level, several shockwaves resonated from her tonfas. However, they were different from the kind she had just fired for offensive capabilities. Instead of causing widespread damage, these shockwaves acted like a bat's sonar, bouncing out shockwaves and hitting objects, bouncing a shockwave back to Sonoka so she could pinpoint anything that held shape from within a fifty feet radius. Time to snare the rabbit... she thought, giving an inward smirk as a burst of reiatsu easily shattered the Bakudo. With her new reiatsu store as the Cero Espada, she had more than enough to employ her destructive capabilities, as well as combat most of his Kido. Using the full abilities of her Zanpakuto, she phased right behind the invisible Waka. To the naked eye, it would seem as if she had literally teleported right behind him. Obviously, this was no ordinary Sonido. In fact, it was not a Sonido at all. Just the clever manipulation of the ever useful propulsive properties of her soundwaves. Three factors were in play for her victory right now. The first was the binding Bakudo, which may or may not have thrown him off guard. The second would be the fact that she had fished him out so easily, even after he had pulled his magical disappearing act. The third was the obvious so-called 'increase' in her speed. Right now, things weren't looking so good for the caged little birdie.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?

"That is why they are never opened."♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪Let me play you a tune♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫About the atrocity of man♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫"What the?!" Waka leaped away, dispelling his Bakudo which seemed to fail. What was more is that she easily blasted away his kido. That wasn't any good. He wasn't a powerhouse, he didn't send out tons of damage at once. He needed the ability to fight hit and run style and this girl simply seemed to be his opposite in that respect. "Alright then... Kotori no Mue." Seven small sparrow shapes formed in thin air, flapping their wings as they rushed forth towards Sonoka. He really didn't want to have to use Bankai if he could avoid it... or worse even. However, if the relic wasn't worth it, he was wasting his time anyhow. He banished the latter thought from his mind, focusing on the battle. If she came at him again, he would have to risk it and try to seal her, if only to bolt for the relic. It was obvious after that firs moment that hiding was no longer an option.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx☉ ◉ ◎ ◌xxxѕσησкα кσησєSonoka smirked as the second part of her plan leaped into play. Tacking on to her list of assets, the sparrows crashed into Sonoka, seeming to hit, when she had really phased behind Waka yet again. He was in for a bag full of surprises, but she doubted he would live long enough to see the bag emptied. The phase, similar to Utsusemi, had left behind an afterimage of her while she moved behind him like a ghost. The only difference between her phasing and an Utsusemi was, of course, the notable range she could pull off this technique, the number of afterimages she could create, and the fact that it worked on objects other than herself. Of course, the mechanics in which they worked were different, but that was of little importance at the current moment. Taking advantage of his previously stunned state, and currently short-lived victory in possibly landing an attack on her, she thrust her left tonfa forward, blasting a shockwave at his back in the shape of a lance. The right tonfa struck at the surface of the water, sending pressurized water towers shooting up around Waka's feet, by sending a shockwave through the water and disrupting it's directional flow. Topping off the move, she thrust forward an area shockwave of about twenty feet. It would be weaker than the others, but it would do the trick if he tried to escape anywhere inside thw minimal range. It might've been overkill, but it was his fault if he underestimated her. Most of her opponents had been literally beaten into a pulp of skin and bone mush when she entered her Resurrecion...mostly because she used the ignorance of her Zanpakuto against her opponents to the fullest, and went all out when she was released. Obviously, she wasn't one for holding back.I just can't standxxxI'll always look backxxxIf I fall downxxxCan I still go on?
