(Enter, Alder, from Squad 13 Bar.)
Alder had chosen the training grounds over the Endless Forest for one, and only one reason; Mashiro was in the Forest, and he would see Alder's Shikai if the spar had occurred there.
Alder walked to the center of the large, grassy plain. A light wind tousled his hair as he waited for his opponent to take stance across from him. "This is gonna be fun...." He said to himself, grinning a bit.
He felt the obvious reiatsu from his opponent in the bar...and he could obviously tell, like Hatsume's, that his reiatsu wasn't entirely humanlike. However, it wasn't a Kitsune, and Alder felt a bit curious as to what species this new recruit happened to be.

Telemachus strode onto the field, looking around until he spotted Alder. He tossed his robe to the grass as he crouched, snapped hit two-inch long, curved claws out and advanced on his opponent. "I never introduced myself. I am Telemachus Fringe, the result of a human child's soul combined with the body of a snow leopard cub. How would you like to begin?" His feline eyes glowed slightly as he continued towards Alder, anticipated the hunt and battle to come."

"Alder, Squad Thirteen's Eighth Seat." Alder said with a charismatic grin. He'd liked the idea of battling someone, and with that in mind, his rapier was a blur as he tore it from his sheath. "Your move, Telemachus." He said with a chuckle, as he stood aimlessly, waiting for the Leopard man to attack him.

In response to his words and drawing his sword, Telemachus crouched lower in to grass and circled, Coming in low and fast on all fours, he turned away at the last minute to avoid any strike at him. He repeated this two more times before he came in for an actual attack. Leaping into the air, the Leopard man swiped at Alder's head with his left paw, drew his zanpakuto with his right and slashed at his throat while his clawed left hind paw kicked at his chest. He wasn't being civil or sociable now, he was given to his instincts and they told him to go full throttle and win. No matter what.

"Bakudo Number eight....seki." Alder said quickly as the first swipe came in. He rose his sword to block Telemachus' blade, and just as quickly as Telemachus had moved, he leaped backwards after focusing Reiryokou into his feet to evade the kick.
"That's pretty good." Alder said with a grin. "But, it's my turn." He lunged directly at Telemachus, aiming a slice at his throat. When he was about to hit the Leopard man's throat, he feinted, and stopped at Telemachus' back. His left index and pointer finger were aimed directly in the middle of his shoulderblades. "Hadou number four....byakurai." The bolt fired with immense speed, threatening Telemachus heavily.

The bolt hit Telemachus square in the back and sent him sprawling with singed and smoking fur. It was a testament to his stamina that he got back on his feet. Holding his zanpakuto horizonally he backed away slowly, looking for any opening. A rumbling growl emanated from the leopard man's throat as he quickly stooped, snatched several round, oval stones, came back up and chucked them in a loosely formed pattern with bone snapping force at Alder's chest. Following the stones, Telemachus would sprint forward, slide his zanpakuto into its scabbard, and bring both hands down together at his prey's head with brutal, animalistic strength and power.

Alder merely sidestepped the stones, not really paying much attention to them. "Bakudo number 8....Seki." He rose his hand up, and the familiar blue orb blocked Telemachus once again. "I would expect nothing less from a leopard man. Close range is your home." Alder said with a grin. He pressed his fingers at Telemachus, and chanted, "Bakudo Number 9...Geki." If the attack were successful, Telemachus would be enveloped in a strange red light, and be paralyzed.

Using the power of his attack and his arms as a lever, Telemachus flipped up and over Alder, avoiding the Geki. Whirling, he slammed his padded palm at the middle of his opponent's spine and roared. "Hado number four! Byakurai!" Instead of coming from the leopard's claw, it came from the center of his hand. Combined with the raw power of the Hado and razor sharp claws, the palm slam would definately hurt and had the possibility of being lethal. "Never underestimate your opponent, Alder. I'm never that predictable."

Alder began to whisper the second Telemachus began to flip. "Dance, Oujou Odoriko..." In an instant his rapier was replaced by six double ended spears, that hovered around him. They moved immediately, lining up side by side to cover his entire back. Not only was Telemachus' hand stopped with a dull thud, but his Byakurai was also reflected back at him, and with his palm so close to the spears, it would be near impossible to evade the Byakurai.

An ear splitting yelp followed Alder's release as Telemachus was launched backwards by his own attack. This time he was slow to get back on his feet. When he did, his right hand was severely burnt and twisted in a disgusting way. Not only had the Byakurai rebounded and burned his hand, Telemachus had landed on it the wrong and broken it in three places. His throat rumbled as he held his wrist and glared at Alder.

"Telemachus....." Alder turned to see the wound, and grimaced. "This spar is over....I'm not going to continue with you having a broken limb. Let's go to Squad Four, they can heal your arm." He said, sealing his Zanpakuto, and beckoning to Telemachus to follow him.
(We're going to skip the whole going to fourth division part, because getting healed takes FOREVER.)

((Kay, where do ya wanna go?))
Alder sealing his zanpakuto and the throbbing pain of his wrist snapped him out of his instinctual prowl. "Very well, It was fun while it lasted, though." Telemachus smiled his best snarl through the pain. "Lead on. I still have no clue where the Fourth Squad is located."
((Huh, I've noticed that my chara's regularly get injured in their first spar? I'm gonna exit with your next post, K?))
(exit to Fourth)

"It was fun, definitely. I look forward to sparring with you after you attain Shikai." Alder said with a battle hardy grin on his face. He took the first step towards the Fourth Squad, and many more would follow after that. He beckoned once more for his squad mate to follow him before he moved on, and on that note their journey commenced.
However, Alder wondered silently to himself if Telemachus' Shikai would represent an animal....Hatsume's Shikai was the only physical manifestation of an animal that he'd ever seen, and she was half fox half human...the mystery would be discovered eventually, but Alder wasn't one to like waiting very much, not when there are facts to be learned.
(Exit, Alder and Telemachus, to Fourth Squad.
In your post, just say that you go to the Fourth Squad. When you post in a different area of the squad, just say that you were returning from the fourth squad.)

(Enter, Alder.)
Alder stepped in from his 'errand', which was to practice using the black wave. He moved to the center of the training ground and noticed rather quickly that neither of the two other Shinigami had arrived yet. He took a seat on the ground and began humming to himself, his spears swaying with the beat of his song.
Of course, the swaying and humming would stop as soon as he felt either of the two enter. He didn't intend on going easy on them, and it would take both of them at the same time to occupy even four of his spears. In all reality, he felt that, within a certain range, Mashiro didn't stand a chance against Alder.

(Enter from the bar)
Sayuri carefully walked onto the field. She could see that Alder was already there and had finished with his errand. I wonder what he had to do before he came here? It is none of my business, but it could eventually have something to do with me...she thought quietly as she tied her hair up into a loose ponytail
"Hello, Alder-san" she said in a cheerful tone that hid her nerviousness inside. Sayuri knew that they would eventualy fight, a thought that scared her and made her burn with the desire to prove herself. She would try her hardest to win, even if it was against a shikai.
