Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That girl....She isn't much....but I'm not getting the meat...gettin' leftovers..." "All the same! " He thought and yelled as he pushed off heavily against the lip of the top of the wall, catching a tiny site of the Bankai battle, it angers the boy. "That power....I want that power..." He thinks selfishly as he passes into the line of the sun just above the girl, casting a great shadow over her semi-stable form. "HEADS UP!" He yells as he comes down, pumping Reiastu into his legs and feet and lands with a roll. He springs up in front of the girl with a turn and attempts to strike her down with a backwards round-house kick meant to connect with any part of her head. The look in his eyes suggested that it didn't matter WHO it was, male or female, an opponent was an opponent. "You wanna rebel and fight against something? I'll be glad to stand in your way because it doesn't matter how many maggots like you there are....I'll crush them all!" He yelled mid strike.

Haro stood by and watched with the others. He was amazed at what was going on, not sure how to react to the happening at all, just utterly shocked. The battled that was raging in front of him by these two titans was extremely capturing. He could not move a finger or a toe, he was stuck in this fight, and he wasn't going anywhere. He watched every strike with anticipation, and the two doll bankai swirling in their deathly dance. He looked over to Kaosu and gulped. "Think we will ever be that strong?" He asked his friend as he looked at him, even though he already knew the answer his optimistic friend would give.

Really. There was nothing left to do. Hikari is drowned in power, but she doesn't seem to realize it. As she holds onto her shikai, she doesn't even feel tired. She wants to hold Munashii just as they are. As she watches Aichou and Aikou fight, she wants to know more and more about her zanpakutou. She wants to know more about those living within her soul. That Sumizome, too. What's her purpose? Hikari can feel her mouth slightly agape as she watches, before lips tightly clench against each other and she swallows. "Bankai? It's wonderful..." "Hmph? You finally noticed, Little Princess?" Hikari smirks. "You want to tell me what you are? Exactly?" "Oh-ho! Little Princess finally asks? Nah. Not yet."

Shaking her head, Hikari can only wonder what Sumizome is up to. She can clearly feel the strange influence of that strange power within her. She can't see the streaks of red reiatsu flashing across her own, but that's because of her low reiatsu sense. What she can feel is the distorted vision of her left eye and heavy stench of blood-lust in her reiatsu. She didn't need to fight the weakling peasants. They were too scared of her to begin with. She shakes her head. No. It's more accurate that they were afraid of the combined powers she holds. With a tightened grip on her zanpakutou... "Ai-chan! Win!" She yells at the top of her lungs. With the most crazed, cute smile imaginable, she continues in a much more reasonable voice. "If I could help, I'd throw all my power against him. You're brother, neh? Ai-kun can't kill her..." She pauses as her speech continues in her head. "That's a duty she left for me, and she's strong enough to be the best sparring partner I've got."

(Apologies, Haro, I was away)

Kaosu sighed, looking at the gigantic dolls moving faster than even himself. "It depends." They seemed so delicate. Like a single wrong bend would shatter their whole frame. Kaosu knew better, though. He knew they were practically indestructible, matched in every way.

"It depends on a great many things." He continued to watch the mortal waltz, trying to find the words he wanted to convey. "All of it hinging on pure determination. Countless years to finally achieve the strength to unlock it, and ten years to master it. It depends on how you look at it. You could say that it's ten years of your life too long..."

He paused, and then smiled. "But I, at least, think it's worth it. Ten years...and you unlock that kind of power?" He traced a finger through the fresh scar on his face, a frown on his face. "I've been at this longer than most of you and you guys are closer to shikai than I am. Hell, the little one's already got it unlocked."

He sighed. "It really does seem impossible, doesn't it?"

((Haha, no reason to apologise I was just wondering if everyone had left, or if we were just waiting))

Haro took a deep breath as he looked around at the rest of the shinigami there and he heaved a sigh as he walked over towards Kaosu. He could tell his friend was in deep thought by the way he was standing there, just looking around, then as he started talking about it he chuckled. "Hey, don't worry about it Kaosu, it will be just fine. I don't have mine yet either, I am far too weak to achieve something like shikai quite yet." He said with a sigh. "But we will have it soon, and with it we will be able to help out a considerable amount more, even though you are already really powerful compared to a pip-squeak like me." He said disheartedly as he watched the siblings continue to go at it.

(I think I'm back. At least until my tooth acts up again. I've been real achy lately all over..damn it all.)


@Kyoji:


The man watches..and he turns his head. Too much death..even if he were to continue fighting..nobody's making it out alive, and now..now it's getting worse, all that energy around. Still, he can't leave. He sheathes his blade and shakes his head..


"A fight one can't even hope to win. I guess suicide isn't really all that noble.."






After what seemed like a long moment in time, the speeding dolls broke away from each other with discordant clang of steel; their respective puppeteers pulled them back, each of them sporting excessive damage on their weapons; the sawblade was whittled down, and the many bladed construction on the other arm of Aikou's doll was chipped to almost nothing' likewise, Aichou's doll's serpentine extension was chipped and cracked, as well as the war-fan she held' cut off to almost the handle. The fight had taken its toll on the extensions of the fighters..who simply stood there, gazing at each other. It seemed like this round of battle had gone to neither combatant. Aikou's the one that finally makes a face.


"This is troublesome. I'll kill you slow.."

he gestures then, the puppet gesturing with him..its fingers meeting as he begins..

"Bakudou no Kyuuju Kyu; Kin!"


He completes the seal immediately, and smirks..

"Bakudou no Kyuuju Kyu; Bankin!"

It seems almost immediate; it shows a great mastery in Kidou..

"First Song: Shiryuu! Second Song: Hyakurensan! Final Song: Bankin Taihou!"


Immediately, he seems to wrap Aichou in bandages..then pierce her body with spears; and in a split second, a gigantic metallic seal with the 'Bankin' symbol descends down...larger than normal it would seem, and more dense; thick with the unnatural hellish energy of the demon dimension this man was from..making a huge shadow that collapses down on the woman..and Aikou stands there as the wind from impact blows his cloak around..the calm look in his eyes signalling he believes it to be finished..

((Welcome back Dox))

Haro's eyes widened as he looked at the battle ensue and he shook his head. "How do these guys keep it up? Such power...it's hard to believe." He said as he looked at the two of them. He closed his eyes and smiled however while he stood there and he imagined himself with his own bankai. But at the moment, he was more worried about obtaining his shikai. He sighed, how was he supposed to ever be as powerful as Aichou if he couldn't even get a shikai? He sighed again and he shook his head. He could not think negative right now, he had to think positive, for all their sakes. He grinned and pumped his fist. "She will do it. I know she will." He said happily. But in that moment, he watched the attack from her brother wrap her up and prepare to drop something upon her. He stretchedh is arm out and his jaw dropped in fear. "NO!" He screamed as he looked at it fall, but then out of nowhere he watched a girl slam er fist into the item fallig and knock it away. "Well...there is another person with unmatchable power." He stated, shrugging off the worry he had felt.
