Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Please pardon my idiocy...I'm not thinking straight as of recently))

Kaosu grinned, pulling his zanpakutou to his side before slamming it upwards, knocking the tanto out of the way so that it came harmlessly away from his body.

Kaosu smiled, and mocked a bow. "It's a pleasure."

Dodge: +29 [36]

It seems the man isn't entirely suicidal; he is trying to fight normally. He turns the pull into a defensive roll, away from the next blow, only to jump up and slash at an angle, from left to right, starting high with a blow that will end low. He's agile, that's for sure, but maybe a little unbalanced. He doesn't say anything..just cackles with glee as he uses that hooked blade with as much effectiveness as someone with his training can manage.





(I deleted the middle dicerolling post to save room and whatnot, saw the roll and know it's good so no sweat.)

"che.."

All she says as she shifts the initial attack with her hand, just one hand at that, showing her fighting style was more precision than power though she didn't lack power either; it was subdued, but there in her slim seeming arms. Still, she couldn't avoid the second attack; however she used the momentum of the attack against her to spin as well, whipping around despite her wound to thrust forward with her small weapon. The goal is to use the enemy's power against them. Despite being born in a poor background, the training she's had with these hell-born warriors, apparently she took to very well. She has natural talent. Too bad she's an enemy.





Things were heating up. The two opponents had stopped across from each other, Aichou raising her two blades with an almost fond smile..and the air around her became filled with a familiar power..familiar at least, to those students that had been there the day she'd shown her strength.

"Kasai motte sora no dageki! Enrai!"


The weapons form, her massive Zanbatou, slung over her shoulder with one arm, while the other arm became covered by the carapace-like metal gauntlet and its many chains with various pointed implements ready to tear the enemy apart. Aikou just chuckled, and held his weapons in position..and his own pressure could be felt; similar to his sister's, but subtly different. More subdued.


"Dokueki motte daichi no sosogikomu; Dokujahina."


And his blades spun to life..the energy forming serpents of green, then receding. The two weapons he held, one in each hand, were snake-swords; sectioned blades on a central wire that were both fast and could reach many points normal swords could not. The battle between the twins had gone up a level in short order.

Seeing as the man raised his axe high upward, he left his gut -wide- open...

"I'm sorry, but your future...is death..."

Shunketsu, taking advantage of the time required to perform such a powerful downward swing, rushed in and performed X-like upward slashes with his two half-sais...

Damage @ Aigyou = "17-32"

The man grunts, this style of combat unknown to him; a dual-weapon was hard to move around and out of the way of, and it's showing. He feels the bite again, and out of frustration, the man just jumps back and then shoots forward, bringing it up at an angle again. His style isn't very versatile, but then again, the weapon is odd..



The large man can't avoid that blow; at least one of them. Still, he slaps the other blade to the side with his hand while being cut to stop the 'X' from occuring in its entirety, and brings the axe one-handed down on Shunketsu by taking one step back and in close quarters. He doesn't say much..he just yells..

"HAMMER!"



Unfortunately, she can't avoid the first strike; almost, but not quite. She's agile, but their training was not as thorough as that of the young shinigami. Still, she is able to move her arm crossways to shift her body with the second blow, arching to turn with it, and bring her own weapon up where her side faces her opponent now, diagonally.

"This..I hadn't thought you beginners would be this powerful..this wasn't in my plans..my analysis showed you'd all be weaker.."







Aichou and Aikou were continuing their fighting; the snake blades of the enemy met with Aichou's chained gauntlet, and her large sword would come down only to find air waiting for her. The two of them were fast, and strong both, and it was hard to say who'd be in control. Still, it was one second that was needed, and Aikou found it; his weapon wrapping around Aichou's ankles to send her slinging into a building. That done, he levels his hand at the gate, and grins.

"You shouldn't let your guard down. Now all of your little students will die, and you're responsible, unable to protect them. Die, you weaklings, and all of you pawns!"


He swings his swords in an 'X' formation, sending out a cross-wave in the shape of two serpents. The two energy bursts become one, a multiheaded serpent in shape. It's like slow motion as they come..intent on going through the gate..he'll kill an entire line that way, and students are engaged in fighting. Aichou is up and moving, but even with Shunpou, catching it all is impossible. It's odd though..as everything is so still..leaves start falling from the sky. Soft, gently falling green leaves..all made of a faint energy. The rain down over the battlefield, dissipating as they touch the ground, all during the same moment the attack comes.


It's instantaneous; a large dome of tree roots rises up out of the ground violently in front of the gate, throwing enemy commoners all over the place, and clearing an area, and right after, a cloud of the leaves whipped around the dome of roots, making a shield-like formation. These two energy forms meet with the enemy's reiatsu attack, causing an explosively violent reaction. Aichou and her brother, and the enemy just stare..as the smoke clears, and standing there is a man with long black hair, a single white streak painting its soft darkness. His two-colored eyes..the beautiful face..there's no mistaking it. He wears white with flowers, and a tall black eboshi hat, and in his left hand is his sword, his right, a fan. The leaves continue to fall..framing him in a soft, green light.


"I have returned, to find my friends in a regrettable situation. I am back, only to find the beauty of my home sullied by traitors and the easily swayed. I am displeased. I despise this turn against the natural order. I am Aoibara Megumi. My enemy, pleased to make your acquaintance. My friends..I have come home."

Haro narrowed his eyes when he stood there, and when he looked at his opponent, this man in front of him a grin passed over his features. He had hit him yet again, and he was obviously satisfied by the attack, but when he watched the man jump backwards he had let his guard down because he figured he was retreating. It would only turn out however that he was not retreating at all, and was only moving so he could charge back forwards. The man's bulk was thrown right into him along with the sword and even though Haro had moved, he could still feel the blade pressed up and into the flesh on his ribs. Any more to the side and he would have been skewered fatally. He narrowed his eyes and with a grunt he pulled himself away from the attack, trying desperately to get himself free from it, and then he did. The blade slid out form his flesh and then he smiled as he spun on his back foot and aimed for the man's chest as he slashed towards him, upwards and diagonal.

Dodge: +3 [19]
Attack: +10 [22]

As the fighting swirled in front of the open gates Sakura sat down on a high roof tile overlooking the combatants. He drew his zanpaktou and placed it in front of him. "You want to watch them too don't you?" he said to the sword.

"Why don't we join them? Is not fighting to protect this place the reason why you joined their ranks?" said the wolf that sat on the drawn sword.

"Fighting and protecting are totally different things. You can fight and not protect and you can protect and not fight. Besides fighting is not graceful at all,"said Sakura as he watched the fighters.

"Sometimes you have no choice but to fight if you wish to protect. If you have the ability to protect and are forced to use your abilities in fighting those who endanger those you vowed to protect are you not protecting them? This separates those who fight for no reason and those who fight with reason. I will leave you for now child."

"Leave. I don't need you anyway."

"Have it your way child"
