 Soma could feel were Yin was going. Soma didn't smile yet Soma brought his zanpakuto in the left hand up to block Yin's attack. The Snake from this still was going yet this time it opened its mouth as it was going to consume Shadow in the Darkness itself. At the same time the darkness around the blade would start to flow in the direction of Yin's blade starting to consume it also. In time if Yin didn't move he to would be consumed by the darkness. As Mizuki shot her lightning attack at Soma he flicked his right wrist and the dragon opened its mouth and shot out from it a red and black reiatsu blast that would collide with Mizuki's lightning attack.
"This isn't enough. Push yourselves to the limits. Keep going fight hard."
After Soma said that he felt Kenshin's presences and simply said loud enough for him to hear him.
"Why don't you come join us my new 5th Seat. Your training starts now and you will be put to the test like the other 3."
As Soma said that he increased his reiatsu even more this time he was ready to take it up a notch so that he could see there full potential.

 Time seemed to slow down around everyone as Shadow suddenly pivoted in air, his head facing down towards Soma as he slowly rotated. With the rotation, everyone would see light sparkle off of a lot of things all over the area. In an instant, though, those flecks of something formed into a long chain that completely covered the entire battlefield. One end of the chain came from the zanpakto that now rested in the earth a foot before Soma. The other was in Shadow's hand. This was a new technique, even to Shadow, and one that he had just invented. The chains glowed softly, and they were an irridescent aquamarine color. And as they slowly spun around the area, Soma would feel a drain in his Riatsu. The chain was a part of Moonfire, and it had part of her power. The Shadows from Soma looked partially insubstantial, too.
As he spun above everyone, Shadow's eyes continued to glow, the silver pupils and the black around them lit with an inner flame. He knew that this technique drained quite a bit of his own Riatsu, and knew that this technique had limits. As far as he knew. This wasn't an old technique he was remembering, but one that he had just thought of. So, as he spun, his eyes caught the new member, as well as the others. "Mizuki! Yin! Now!" And with those words, the world suddenly started to return to normal speed. If Shadow could remain where he was a little longer, he could finish the technique, and Soma would be, hopefully, defeated.
(this isn't one that I applied for, but it makes sense with the powers of his Zanpakto. If at any time, Zeke, you don't think it would work with his powers, tell me, okay? Preferably through PM.)

 Division 5
Looking up at Shadow for a moment Kenshin nodded once before using shunnpo to close the distance between him and Soma almost instantly. Kenshin's shunpo however felt different. It did not make the same sound as a normal shunpo, and it was fast, to fast for a shinigame just out of the academy to be able to do. By the time Kenshin was at Soma's left side, his sword was already half drawn in a lightning quick Batojutsu. The sudden strike would be to fast, and to sudden for the captain to be able to block successfully, leaving only escape as an option. However, if Soma was able to see the sword as he escaped, he would notice that the blade was a Sakabatou, or a reverse blade sword, and definatly not a Zampakutou.

 Tenrai walked into the training area where the division five members trained against their captain. From a distance that is. He didn't want to get caught up in an unnecessary fix of attacks that could risk his own health. From a distance he would wait until their training was over with to deliver the message from the Sotaicho of their future mission. "These guys seem pretty far off from the last batch. Every year they grow into something else. Hm." He gave a someone admiral smile to see that the newly graduates of the academy had turned into something with potential. With that he waited. It wouldn't be too far off from now where he'd have to do his own training. As time went by, he figured that he didn't want to linger around to long and thus he'd pin the letter to the side of the entrance. It'd let the captain know about the situation involving the broken plus souls that have banded together in certain sections of the worlds along with the mission failure of finding Shiro and the notification that a hollow war within Hueco Mundo was about to occur.(-exit)

Soma smiled as he disappeared using his Yami Step speed technique. From a distance a faint but, clear word could be heard.
"Ban-Kai"
As Soma said that everything in the whole training area became covered in darkness. Mizuki's bankai saved her being that her light was able to be seen around her. Kenshin, Shadow, and Yin were on the other hand covered in the darkness. Yet they would be able to see the light from Mizuki but, would they be able to get to her before they were attacked. All around them even around Mizuki darkness particals could be seen. There next movement could have been there last. As Soma stood in the air above them he closed both of his hands above the ground and the darkness particals around the area started charging in at Yin, Shadow, Kenshin, and Mizuki all at the same time. This darkness was Soma's domain and this training was what he knew would help his division memebers get to the next level.

Mizuki Ito 5th Division Vice-Captain Mizuki grinned. "Finally!" She had hoped to see her captain's bankai, and finally got her wish. However, as darkness was his domain, light was hers. There was no way, even with his power, that he could see through the brightness of her bankai. And no one seemed to notice that it was slowly growing. Every minute they battled, her light spread closer to Soma. By appearance, it seemed like a shield for her own sake, and could be used for that purpose if she so wished. But it could also be used as a weapon, and soon, she intended to use it for that. Mizuki filtered her reiatsu carefully. Most of it was being used as a shield around herself that she pushed out towards the other members of 5th Division. However, controlling it this carefully meant that they would have to cover for her for a bit. Her grin faded while she concentrated on closely maneuvering her bankai. The captain really was going to push her to her limit.

As the darkness spread, Kenshin could not say that he was not scared, but he wasn't pluralized by fear. Fear is only a tool that in the right hands, can be a powerful weapon. However, before he could strike, a female voice would sound in his head.
'Ken-san... I can protect you, I can protect everyone, but you must let me.'
Kenshin didn't know what to make of it, but before he could decipher what it meant, Kenshin used, not shunpo, but his own God Speed Technique that was generally faster, allowing him to escape in to the light barrier that Mizuki was creating. "... was that... you?" Placing his left hand on teh hilt of his Zampakuto Kenshin pondered drawing it. He wanted to, but his sword was a sword for killing, a sword with a forward edge, and that was not a sword he wanted to use.

Mizuki Ito 5th Division Vice-Captain Mizuki noticed Kenshin wasn't too far away from her, and managed to enter her barrier. She spoke aloud, to the other members of the division, but not loud enough for Soma to hear. "I need you guys to attack now. I can hold him off for a while, but we need a bit of offense," she said, her face unintentionally looking a bit frustrated. She turned back to face Soma again, continuing to force the bright shield out of her zanpakutou. Mizuki didn't feel drained at all, she could probably keep up the barrier all day if needed. However, she wasn't too sure about the others. She knew that Shadow would at least be a bit drained from all his attacks on Soma before. So now it might turn into a test of endurance...

 Division 5 - Seat 3 Yin smiled. This fight was starting to amuse him. As the darkness devoured everyone except Mizuki, Yin listened for anytype of sound or movement. Yin looked over to the bright light that was Mizuki and then thought for a while. As he galnced back at the light, He would start to lower the temperature to almost five degrees. This would help him better. Yin started to let out his reiatsu, Letting it build up so that Soma and everyone knew where he was. As the Darkness Particles came to him, Yin would use his glide technique to vanish then appear away near a tree. He would lye against the tree spit out blood, A Sure case that he wasn't fully recovered from the battle with Lazzy.

Division 5 Looking at the vice captain Kenshin shook his head. "I can't. If I step out of this light, I'm done. Besides..." Holding up his left hand Kenshin showed her his Sakabatou. "Mine is the blade to protect-" As he said the words protect, the sword on his hip would pulse with energy, as if the word truly meant something to the blade.
'I'm sorry Awai... I can't draw you... I won't become that monster again. I am not Hitokiri Batosai... I'm not a man slayer any more. I wield the blade that protects people, not the blade that kills.'
In front of Kenshin a woman who he could only see appeared. She was tall and lithe, her form almost frail looking, yet a true strength rested in her golden eyes, a color that was reflected in the light gowns he wore. When she spoke, only Kenshin could hear. "... you poor boy. You are so scared of yourself that you can't even fight back." Placing a soft and on his cheek Go-ruden awai smiled kindly. "Don't worry... I am stronger than I look Ken-san. Now, draw your blade and become a warrior."
As Kenshin reached up to touch the hand Awai would vanish, leaving Kenshin standing there, his eyes spaced out, oblivious to his surroundings. Kenshin was struggling internally. He wanted to be believe Awai, but part of him could not draw a blade that could kill. Feeling the cold Kenshin looked over and, somehow, saw Yin spitting up blood. Kenshin didn't know of the previous battle the man had, and though that Soma had caused it. "... can I.... protect him?" The voice was weak and soft, as if Kenshin was scared to speak.

Soma smiled as he brought his hands in and X formation across his body. When Soma did this he curled up and the Darkness in the area all came up to him in a rushing motion. As this happened a ball of black and red reiatsu swirled around him. When this happened Soma was completely blocked from all the attacks sent at him. This was the part that Soma's reiatsu truely showed. Everything around Soma and everything in Training area started to become heavy. As Soma's reiatsu increased the whole area felt as the gravity was against it completely. What is Soma's true bankai form not many have seen it but, when Soma goes into it he plans to end everything he possibly can.

Time was slow to Shadow's sight, but even with that extra edge, he knew that he could not avoid this. His abilties were not up to fighting the fully awakened Bankai of his Captain. So, he tried the only thing he can think of. As the chains that surrounded the area began to glow, Shadow suddenly yanked Lanfaer, the zanpakto in his hand. Two things happened at once. First, the chains spun at such a rate that dust and dirt, debree from the lands, flew into the air. Though the darkness blinded those in it, those on the outside would see a hurricane like wind form rapidly. The chains spun, and shot inwards to wrap Shadow completely in a ball made of chains. These chains, as with Moonfire's power, drained Reishi and Riatsu. Usually, those trapped within were drained slowly of their own riatsu. With Shadow inside, this changed somewhat. It absorbed the riatsu around him and the chains, and that riatsu was injected into his body. It also lessened the impact of all spiritual based attacks, such as Bankai, that struck it. This wouldn't negate Soma's attack, but it would lessen it somewhat when it struck the chains. It would still hurt, though.
The second thing that happened occured to the blade at Soma's feet. Moonfire. The chain whipped upwards, aiming for Soma's zanpakto, either one of them. If that blade touched either of Soma's blades, it would shut down all of his spiritual powers for a few minutes.
When Soma released his bankai, though, everything became heavier. All this did to Shadow was slam the ball of chains down against the earth. Moonfire still lashed up to attack Soma, though.
(5 posts. That was part of the accepted info for the blade. However, Moonfire must strike your Zanpakto for that power to work. Which, at your level, would be hard.)

Division 5 As Soma unleashed his true power, Kenshin should of been floored, unable to move by the force of it, yet, the young man simply stood there, unmoving as he watched Shadow attack. He wanted to help, yet he was powerless to do so since the shadows still dominated the area. Without thinking Kenshin rested his left hand on the hilt of Go-ruden Awai.
'Now Ken-san. I can protect you, but you must have the will to fight. That man is a comrade of yours, he is your partner, and through that, your friend. Are you going to let a friend of your fight alone! Pick up your sword and STRIKE!'
As the last word echoed in his head Kenshin's eyes flashed yellow for a moment before grasping the hilt of his Zampakutou. Drawing it the golden blade with the silver stripe down the middle would shine before Kenshin brought it down in front of him. "Protect me Awai!"
There was no time to think for him, no time to plan like he normally did, he just acted. Running directly at Some Kenshin ran through the barrier protecting him, leaping out in to the filed where Soma could attack him without mercy, at least, that is what should of happened. When he left the barrier however, it was as if a piece of it had come with him, encasing Kenshin in a ball of golden light that appeared to have no source. The barrier was simply there, protecting Kenshin as he used god-speed to reach Soma as fast as possible.
At the same time Shadow would also have a ball of golden light cocooning him inside his chains. The ball of light was not an attack, but a barrier that Kenshin had unconsciously sent to protect Shadow, hoping to shield him from any more harm.
As Kenshin approached Somae at roughly the same time Shadow's chain, the shield around Kenshin would shrink along one side a moment before Kenshin sliced his blade upwards, starting below his right hip and finishing above his right shoulder. The speed and force or the strike would carry him several meters behind Soma. 'I understand now Awai....' "I can protect everybody."

 Soma's body was completely covered by his reiatsu that he used to cover himself while he went into his final act of his Bankai. Once this was done even if Kenshin and Shadow's chains were to hit the shield of darkness reiatsu that protected him. So in the end There attacks wouldn't work on Soma. As time went by two wings made of darkness started to form from the darkness covering Soma. Time after time passed which really was only seconds. Soma emerged from the shield he made absorbing all of it back to him. The minute this happened a dark light filled the area which covered everything around them. Slowly this light then came back to Soma, once the light was completely back to Soma his final act was able to be seen.
Soma's body was covered in an armor made of darkness. The right side of Soma's armor was in the from of a dragon that seemed to make dark flames flow all around right side of his armor. The left side of Soma's armor was from that of a snake. This side of the armor seemed to make dark frost flow around the left side of the armor. When the dark flames and dark frost connected in the center two wings errupted from the back of the armor. These wings were complete darkness and seemed to be wings of a Dragon. After the wings appeared the Two zanpakuto appeared again this time they were in the form of his shikai state. Soma smiled as he looked down on his division members and smiled. Soma was no floating in the air above them all. The darkness from his zanpakuto was now completely attached to him.
As Soma looked at his division members his reiatsu was increadible. From 3rd seat on down, there movements would be halted no matter what they tried to do. His vice captain and even Tenrai would be able to move but, it would put alot of strain on there bodies giving the amount of power he release. Then again Soma's reiatsu didn't come close to what Old Man Yata had when his bankai was fully released but, then again Soma wasn't trying to match someone who was far stronger than him in every way. Soma then combined his two zanpakuto together. They became one broad sword, that from the hilt would show a Dragon on one side of the guard and a snake on the other side of the guard. Soma placed the broad sword on his shoulder as he looked down and said to his division memeber.
"Shall we begin the true training now. Then again Shadow, Yin, and Kenshin your training will be to train and gain your true strength. As for you Mizuki, if your not to weak to move lets see how strong you are in a battle again me in my final form."

Mizuki Ito 5th Division Vice-Captain Well, there's no point in moving if my body can hardly do even that...Mizuki stayed where she was, making no move to physically attack Soma. However, her sword didn't seem to be affected by his bankai, and she would use that to her advantage. So far, using her bankai as a defensive barrier wasn't helping. She would have to use it as an attack. Tightening her grip on her sword, Mizuki moved the light, separating it into shards. This technique was much like Senbonzakura, only warped to fit her purposes. With the others frozen in place, Mizuki couldn't just order anyone around. She would have to finish this herself. With that thought in mind, she placed each shard a certain distance from her captain, surrounding him in an instant. Hitting her palms together signaled the attack, and her captain was instantly swarmed by the shards. Distracting him with that, she also sent a bolt of lightning from her shikai. The girl used shunpo to shoot the lightning from all directions at once. It was usually an extremely effective attack, but this time, she wasn't so sure. Not only had Soma's attack slowed her down, but he also was insanely powerful, and going all-out would end up in her own loss. However, she couldn't hold back anymore, and continued the attack, waiting for the result.
"I have nothing to fear. Darkness is only the absence of light. Death is only the absence of life."
