Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( But if the mirror is using powers Rednal doesn't have, then clearly, it's an imperfect copy. You know, like maybe Rednal holding his power back is the equivalent of smudging the mirror, so the reflection of him is not perfect. Not that a perfect reflection of Rednal is actually possible... o.O ))

This guy fails SO badly... Ooh, look at me, I make clones! So be original! Oh, but I'm going to copy everything you do, so nothing at all is original and I'll make fun of you! That's just silly. Can I eat him? No. But I'm hungry! Can I hunt down and eat all of his friends and family? No. Can I Final Spark that cheap clone? He's way too overconfident... ...Sure, what the heck. I don't think he knows that copying your real power is futile. Could b fun to watch him try. I wanted to check out the effects kicking up the power of that one even higher would do, though... shame we're not revealing that much. Wheeeeeee! "Hey, sparky. You were trying to be shiny before. Here's how you really do shiny. Final Spark." She pointed her palm at the clone. What fired off was shaped like a Cero, but in the end, vastly different. The power emanating from Rednal's body had reached about mid-level Captain by now, and the burst of energy surrounded by prismatic light crossed the short distance between Rednal's body and the clone about faster than anybody in the area was using enough power to be able to react to and continued on to blow straight through clone, the branches, and the barrier surrounding the place. The branches crumbled, and both the clone and the barrier simply ceased to exist. The being controlling Rednal's body blew lightly on her fingertips. "Parroting others is a trick children use on the playground. Perhaps if you knew what you were doing, you'd realize that there's no copy that can ever be as good as me. I believe you're the one who needs to be original."

(( Then I'd ask you to do the same. You're consistently getting the workings of my powers wrong, on top of using OOC knowledge. As for being able to destroy your Bankai, yes, Final Spark is capable of that (read its description if you'd like to check; it's in my profile in the archives section and page 1 of the Vizard submissions; the attack is basically a beam of energy coupled with an extremely potent cancellation power, hence ripping straight through your clone), though this time I only went for the clone and feel no need to insist that your Bankai was destroyed. Things generated by your weapon aren't necessarily your weapon, after all. I have nothing personal against you, and mostly, I'm just here to have fun. Of course, if your weapon actually was up as a dome, there isn't much I can do, simply because it would be in the way of the blast... You weren't particularly clear on that. Also, I can't find your cloning ability in your profile. I do see the ability to make clones of yourself, but not of other people, so I'm not even sure where you're coming from when you're trying to tell me how I should or shouldn't interpret your abilities. ))

((Reflect YOUR image, yes. Not the image of others. o.O While it may make sense that you could reflect others, it didn't say anywhere you actually can. Just to avoid trouble in the future, I'd get that checked by a mod; somebody less relaxed than I am might get pissed in return and make a huge deal out of it. And I was trying extremely hard to give you an excuse so that your Bankai didn't have to break. I'm trying to help, here. Final Spark carries with it the cancellation powers of Rednal's Bankai, part of which is the ability to break released Zanapakuto and render them unusable. It does not care how powerful your weapon is or what its abilities are; it overcomes anything that would cancel or resist (or, indeed, reflect) its effects (and yes, that's in its description. To quote: Anything that involves focusing spiritual energy for some effect can be disrupted if this blade comes into contact with it, even special effects that would ordinarily prevent it from working, regardless of the power level of whatever's going against this weapon. It simply does not care how unbreakable your weapon is; it'll break it anyway. Your reflection can't function against this particular power; no sort of focused energy can. That's why it's so dangerous.). There is, quite frankly, no way for your weapon to NOT break if Final Spark hits it. This is why I've been offering the "clone was just generated by the weapon, not the weapon itself" thing. You have a perfect excuse to keep your weapon intact; all you have to do is take it. It's no big deal that way. The OOC knowledge is sensing that "Gilgamesh" is anything more than absolutely bottom-level. Before his Hollow Side goes nuts, anyway.))


"Who, me?" the voice asked innocently. "You still suck like a Level One Ranger with a Dull Knife and a Badger Animal Companion." What the heck does that mean? I dunno; I heard it somewhere... Wish I could show him our full strength, but we don't have enough space for that. Can't I please show him what real power is? No. This is their time, remember? I'm just a relic, and compared to the standards nowadays, he isn't so bad. I don't want to traumatize him. So play NICE. The figure controlling Rednal's body looked up; the entire warehouse was basically trashed by now... not much of it remained. "Well, I observed enough of your actions to get what we needed; this loser can figure the rest out on his own." Rednal's body began walking away, but paused, and his had turned back to look at Shigoro. "Oh, right. Fair's fair, I suppose. You're still young, and you think you're great because you have some small power. You kids don't even realize that your versions of Bankai are just forcing it out before you're ready; you've got five hundred years or more of training before you've started to master your power. If you want to play in the big leagues, learn how to control your temper along with your power. Brute force might have served you well so far, but a day is going to come when that's all going to fail you. If you stay stuck in the stage of showing off, thinking you're so great, then you'll never reach your full potential. See ya never." his hand was waved towards Shigoro, before Flandre took Rednal's body out of the area. There really was no more point in staying; as far as she was concerned, the man was a baby just trying to waddle up and start taking his first steps towards becoming a man. It was fairly obvious from how easily he allowed himself to be provoked. She didn't bother with a final show of power or anything of the sort; she simply walked out, keeping her back to the man as if clearly unafraid of anything he might try. He probably wasn't going to grow further, of course. The man seemed very stubborn, and until he could give up the bad part of his pride, he was likely to just get angry. Which didn't particularly bother Flandre or Rednal; neither of them cared much what the man did, whether it was become a hero for all the realms driving back the darkness, falling into the gutter and becoming a loser, or resting somewhere in-between. This was the his time, the time of the younger ones, and what happened was their choice to decide. In that, Flandre respected Rednal's wishes. Either of them might give advice at times, but they had no plans to interfere in the events of the world.

((MInd if I take over, Rednal? I'm bored as hell and stuck here -_-))

((Then you'll LOVE Takashi ^^ BTW, not using normal comp, so no addons.))

Takashi was now bored out of his mind. "Ok, my turn." He stretched a tad, then yawned. "You said that... your class of Vizard was roughly on par with a Captain ranked Shinigami, right? So... what can you teach me about Vizard capabilities the normal Captain isn't already aware of?

Takashi... stop...now. You're in no position to push him even more. You are powerful, but you're still not accustomed to this new developement.I know... but I believe all I've been witness to is smoke and mirrors... I want first-hand experiences.Just remember there are two of us in here...

((Just a couple of notes before hand.

1.) Takashi's whole style is based off hightened speed and his ability to adlib defenses and attacks on the fly.
2.) I'm doing Spanish homework right now, so I'ma be slow posting.
3>) WTF's a Soutaicho?
))

((As Lanfaer says, Soutaicho is Captain General in the english translation))

Shigoro drew his Zanpakuto and blocked the strike. The tiny blade blocked Takashi's Shikai like it was nothing. "Oh, please. the reason I said to use your mask and Shikai is that you have no hope of fulfilling the conditions otherwise. Again, please." Shigoro hadn't moved an inch from his seated position during the attack.

((My shikai is based around versatility and binding the opponent, and my Bankai is based around simply overwhelming them with sheer force of numbers. One tendril of darkness is hard enough to escape, but 500 is much harder.))
