 Fiona Natalia Niall - Squad 6 Lieutenant - Fiona watched as the blade fell to the ground, considering Umehara a moment and she was eternally someone that took risks. Her sheath was tucked into her sash and she began to pick up the keyblade, though the shift in her body when the crossbow began to materialize was an immediate warning she didn't react by not lifting his blade. Instead she again dropped her own zanpakuto into it's unreleased form, it had functioned once before. There were still tendrils of Crystalized shadow snaked around her arm like some gaudy jewelry.
Jumping between styles wasn't something she did incredibly often but she had done it before. Being able to go from short to long range at a moment's notice had it's uses and she'd trained in such a style of combat even when she was still a Quincy.
Though she was curious what he would do with his blade in her extra hand. It was a tad heavier than she was accustomed to but she only winked at him and saluted him with his own blade. "Thanks for the gift sunshine."

 ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ XXXXXUmehara merely watched with interest as his blade was taken off from the ground. "Are you thanking me for the sword or are you thanking me for that fancy new bracelet you have? Tell you what- I'll keep that one crystallized just so you can keep it as a gift in memory of this battle." He shrugged simply, calculating in his mind how he would get his blade back. An idea slipped into his mind.
Casually, almost as if he bore no fear- Umehara stepped forward. "You can even show it off to the other Lieutenants... Maybe they might come for some business. I'll have to admit..." He continued speaking casually, walking closer and closer- to the point where he was dangerously near. He was only about a foot away from Fiona. "That one is one of my best pieces yet." ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

 Fiona Natalia Niall - Squad 6 Lieutenant - "Possibly both and while I do enjoy black, if you leave this gaudy thing on my arm after our spar and I'll hunt you down while you sleep." Her voice was friendly enough but she didn't seem to be completely joking either. She adjusted her stance, though only perked a blue brow as he came up so close.
Waiting until he was in the nearer range to flash step behind and slightly above him, coming down with the blades in an 'X' cross-slash. She wasn't accustomed to his sword but she wasn't too bad with a make-shift weapon. (OOC: Bleh post is bleh, I'll try to do better next post.)

 ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ XXXXXUmehara glanced up as the blades came down- not moving- as if accepting the full blow of the attack. His he coated his hands with some layer of reiatsu, and then held them upwards- catching the blades in their path. While his own keyblade formed a crystal layer on his palm- preventing it from slicing through- Fiona's blade had made a deep slice into his hand. Had Umehara not layered his hand with reiatsu, she would've chopped his fingers clean off. He winced in pain- gritting his teeth in an attempt to hold back a shout of pain. His hands were trembling. He gripped both blades tightly, blood seeping down the length of his forearm.
"K-k...." He choked, before allowing his lips to curl into a smile. He had her where he wanted. "Bakudo Number 1.... Sai!" If she was captured by the attack, he would proceed with his next attack. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

 Fiona Natalia Niall - Squad 6 Lieutenant - Fiona put further weight on the strike as she landed, twisting the keyblade in case it got trapped in the same crystal as it would likely knock him off balance. She'd worked up a sheen of sweat and her breathing was uneven, by now she'd lost a fair amount of blood from the cuts along her back and the deep gash in her thigh.
"Vanish, Eiluned..." He was close enough to hear her whisper it even as he was casting his own spell...but as the blade transformed to shadow, it also began to crystallize as a result of his ability. He was touching her sword so it worked on him as well - they both disappeared. It was a little reckless, though it made it impossible to tell if she'd gotten trapped by his attack or not, it also left him out of her sight.
As the invisibility swept over him there would have been a feeling of incredible cold that curled through every fiber of his being - it would have been brief, but akin to being shoved into a lake in the midst of winter.

  ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ XXXXXUmehara felt the sword twist to the side, but he held firm- feeling even more pain in his own left palm. In a matter of seconds, they were invisible. An uncomfortably cold sensation washed over his body. He began to shiver, feeling his muscles tense and his joints lock. 'I can't take much more of this.' Umehara grunted. Keeping his grip firmly on the blade- he opened his mouth and breathed a two syllable word that would alter the course of the battle.
"Ban- kai...."
"Divide into a million mirrors..." Suddenly, Umehara's keyblade shattered out of existance. Umehara skipped backwards- fading off into a cloud of mystical blue fog. In a matter of seconds, there were mirrors everywhere. Regardless of where Fiona might look, she would be reflected in the multiple faced- prism surface of the dome. Mist clouded the interior, making it even worse to see. Umehara was no where to be found. 'I usually don't give others an opportunity to see my bankai- but feel honored that you are one of the select few that have.' The voice resonated from nowhere in particular. ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁

 Fiona Natalia Niall - Squad 6 Lieutenant - Fiona smirked slightly at the grunt, it was sort of earned since he chose to block with his arm. Of course, she wasn't exactly doing well herself. His spell had caught her just after she'd vanished. Then he uttered the phrase that so clearly separated her from the level of a Captain or the stronger soul reapers. The second 'level' of release that often far outstripped any shikai...
Her fingers closed around air, though her body remained in place, held by the simple binding spell. She could work her way out of it with effort but for the moment she was using it as a way to take a breather. "Honored?" She thought sarcastically. "Yeah in the same way I'd be glad if someone showed me their sword by putting it through my foot..."
She didn't speak aloud because it wouldn't matter, he couldn't hear her while she remained hidden by her own zanpakuto. This new situation seemed quite the predicament. With a little effort she pulled herself out of the binding magic, still breathing heavily and eying the place where she was 'trapped'. She let off several shots, though they were the nearly insubstantial sort, the idea was to steal 'hesitation' from Umehara's mind should one of them hit. Attacking did pop her back into reality, where she could be seen and felt.
"I feel like I've been transported into a disco ball...not really what I meant when I said dancing...but I guess I got another nickname for you." Fiona remarked, playful despite her heavy injuries.
