[Intro]
((Wow, I can't believe someone actually voted for me. Even I didn't vote for myself.))
Xeion had always been a calm, cool-headed guy who somewhat felt nothing but positive emotions all day round. But today was different, much different, from any other day for today was the day the final match for Tagg-san's tournament was going to be held. However, this isn't just any other finals match, this was going to be an all out free-for-all battle royale between the winners of the semi-final matches. If that wasn't enough, the three competitors that will go head-to-head will be Jan-sama, the almighty leader of the Vizards which, some say, has powers that may even rival that of Daven-sama himself, Tansen-taicho, Captain of Squad Eight, known for his cold and calculated strategies and alchemical prowess, and finally himself, a lowly Vice Captain of Squad Nine.
"This totally sucks..." Xeion muttered, sighing as he scratched his head whilst he stood in the middle of a gigantic, circular ring with a radius of 500 meters and made from pure concrete after he had entered the Squad Three stadium. Around him, row upon row of shinigami, cheering for their favorite fighters. This made him feel that he really was in a finals match setting which also added to the pressure that he was feeling right now. "I feel so out of place, being in a match with a Captain and a Vizard."

((I've been trying to get a college loan, so sorry if I don't post right away later on in the fight...))
Jan yawned as he walked into the arena. He had slept enough to recover his energy from the last round, but he would need a little more time to shake off the sleepies. Seeing a Shinigami some distance away, Jan quickly wiped his glasses and took a closer look. "...Oh, hey Xeion-kun! Congratulations on making it to the finals, and I'm looking forward to a good match! Now, if only our third would show up, we could get started..."
((No, seriously. I haven't gone to see either of your profiles, and I haven't seen your respective fights either, so I'm going into this match blind!))

((Oh, it's okay, Jan-sama. I hope you get that loan. ^^))
Xeion stared wide-eyed the visage of the young man who walked up to him. With such a pure, innocent face, one would never in one's life guess that this man -- Jan-sama -- standing so casually in front of him was the almighty lord of the Vizards, capable of unfathomable death and destruction if he ever willed it. "Umm, hey there, Jan-sama..." Xeion stammered then heard the Vizard leader congratulate him. "Uh, yeah...thanks..." An awkward smile forming on his lips, while beads of cold sweat trickled down his face.
Xeion's body then started to shake a little by the mere sight of him and all of his awesome power. He was horrified at the fact that he would face such an insanely powerful opponent, and on top of that, he was Feiy-sama's mentor. He knew well that Jan-sama was a great friend whom he could freely have conversation with. But in battle, Xeion's outlook of him changes into that of a demon; a demon whom even Feiy-sama failed to defeat. "I'm so screwed..." Xeion thought, turning away from Jan-sama to calm his nerves. Now all that was left was to wait for Tansen-taicho, yet another fierce opponent.

Of all the days to be late... Tansen silently cursed under his breath as he entered the stadium and walked up to his opponents. I suck at making up lies... Truth was, Tansen had been up all night practising a new kido spell and had fallen asleep in the training grounds, but he wasn't one to admit something like that so he came up with the first thing he could think of. "Hey there, sorry for being late. A...Um...A black cat walked passed me on the way here so I had to take the long way around, that's it!" His spiky white hair was neat and tidy and his matching white captain's hayori was flaping behind him. "So...I guess we better get started then. Good luck to both of you." He gave Jan and Xeion a friendly smile and then walked back a few feet and drew his zanpakuto. The one I'm mainly worried about is Jan, but I've heard a lot of good things about Xeion as well. I better stay put while the others decide who they're going for.

((We should probably post in an order to keep things from getting lost and so everyone ends with the same number of posts. I'll take the initiative!))
As Tansen walked in and gave his excuse, Jan looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. Since he did not know of European superstitions, his confusion was even more pronounced. "What? A cat? I love cats, but that's no reason to take so long getting here... Why don't I repay you for your poor excuse in kind?" With a smirk, Jan drew both of his blades and aimed his left wakisashi at Tansen. His katana in his right hand was aimed at Xeion.
"Now that we're all here... We might was well kick things off with a bang! Or should I say... Laser Beam!" Rapidly firing light beams at Tansen and lightning bolts at Xeion, Jan stood still to see what the other two fighters could bring to the table. With his own energy against Xeion and his Hollow energy against Tansen, he could easily attack both at once... But defending would be a more interesting story.

Xeion wasted no time in defending against Jan-sama's lightning bolts. He unsheathed Elena quickly from his back-mounted scabbard and placed her in front of him defensively. Xeion then began to send out reiatsu to his hands, shrouding them in a protective aura which could nullify the electrical properties of Jan-sama's lightining bolts, protecting his hands from burns. At least, he was better off than Tansen-taicho who had to deal with Cero-esque laser beams. Soon, numerous sounds of crackling, electrical energy rung in his ears as Jan-sama's bolts hit Elena then dissipated into electrical particles which scattered into the air.
After Jan-sama stopped firing bolts at him, he quickly returned to his normal stance and assessed the situation. "This is it, Xeion. There's no room for error now. Even though you know you don't stand a chance of winning against these types of odds, it's no reason to give up. It's showtime." Xeion thought and nodded to himself. "Right, let's do this."
Xeion raised his sword and gripped Elena's hilt firmly with both of his hands. "Corrupt me now, Elena!" As soon as he uttered those very words, malicious energy began seeping out of the zanpakuto, growing stronger and stronger with each passing second. The malevolent energy wrapped itself around the sword, making it pulsate with the said energy, slowly creeping up until it reached Xeion's arm then his body. However, the energy seemed to caress him lovingly, as if it desired him. After a while, the energy returned to the sword as the sword was now in its shikai state -- a horrific-looking weapon, writhing with malicious intent. Elena's body had grown such that she now resembled that of a cross between a broadsword, a scimitar and a gigantic butcher knife with a curved edge. The overall frame was adorned with morbid things which looked like organic veins, which in fact, were.
However, Xeion was not finished, for this was but a "Stained Reflection" of Elena's true form; still his first stage shikai release. He had yet to release the true form of Elena's shikai.
Placing his left hand on Elena's blade, he slowly ran it down the entire length of the sword, blood seeping down his palm until the red liquid had stained Elena's sword steel crimson. As he did this, he chanted the release phrase for Elena's second stage, softly at first then began to increase his voice with each word he muttered.
"With these hands, I offer you my blood; the blood which contains my heart and my soul. Hear me now as I make this covenant with you, written in blood which now flows down your body. Let the world see your true face, o blue rose that glimmers amidst the abysmal night’s curtain. Break the mirror and show your true reflection and from the depths of despair, awaken, with wings ablaze with majestic light."
Elena grew bright after the completion of the chant, shining brilliantly. The sudden release of enormous amounts of cosmic energy made the wind blow slightly stronger. When the winds returned to normal, there stood Xeion, holding a sword which was unlike anything previously seen before. The once horrific facade which governed Elena's first stage had disappeared and was replaced with beauty -- a sword, both elegant and unique in frame, yet deadly under its shroud of deceptive elegance. One could even say this second stage best described Elena as a zanpakuto spirit – a Femme Fatale. This was Elena's "True Reflection".
"There's no sense in letting all these residual energy go to waste now." Xeion muttered as a small, black orb, the size of a baseball emerged from, emerged from his palm and hovered up to a few meters above the ring, sucking up the remnants of Jan-sama's energy bolts. "A clean ring means a clean fight, I always say."
After Xeion made that black orb, he immediately went into his duel stance with Elena positioned in a slightly slanted position near Xeion's face, the blade just inched away from his cheek, his body slightly hunched over with his dominant foot forward and the other foot back. His eyes were serious, dead serious. He couldn't afford to make a mistake now, he promised himself to do his best. Besides, if Feiy-sama was watching, he couldn't bear letting her see him not perform at 100 percent.
With his right foot, Xeion pushed off into a shunpo, quickly closing the distance between him and Jan-sama. Without losing momentum, he quickly let loose a series of diagonal slashes; slashes that were quite fast, making them look like they were just blurs to the untrained eyes of normal shinigami. Speed was probably Xeion's only edge here in this fight. Xeion trained long and hard to become faster than anyone could think possible, all in preparation for a fight with his one-time master, Feiy-sama. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, seeing as Xeion was either matched with another opponent, Feiy-sama was too busy or vice versa. In any case, it was good that he trained, because in this battle, he was going to need every trick in his book to just survive.

The moment Tansen sensed Jan's attack coming his reflexes kicked in and the young captain immediately brought up his left hand and projected an invisible of wall of reiatsu. "Kyomon." He had put up the barier just in time to avoid the attack, but felt himself being pushed backwards by the sheer force of the energy blasts. "Damn." Thinking quickly, Tansen jumped a few feet into the air and watched as his barrier shattered into glass like fragments before dissipating. That was close...I wasn't expecting such a quick attack. I better keep my eyes on Jan... He landed gracefully on his feet and then watched curiously at Xeion's released zanpakuto. What an impressive looking blade...It looks like the underdog of this match may just become the dark horse instead. I better not waste time in getting serious either.
Tansen brought his sword up and the blade began to glow a bright green as he waved his left hand over it. "Transmute, Tsumari-Renkin." The blade grew slighly larger in length and became covered in mysterious black symbols. " I suppose I better start off simple." Tansen quickly plunged his bladeinto the earth and the symbols covering it began to glow a bright gren as he manipulated the minerals in the ground. "Take form!" He pulled the blade out of the ground and watched as a metal golem the size of a large house came tumbling out of the earth. Jumping onto his creations shoulder, Tansen brought his sword and pointed at Jan and Xeion. "Let em have it buddy." The golem gave a nod of approval, brought it's colossal fists together, and them slammed them onto the ground, sending a shockwave and large chunks of earth at the two shinigami.

((Yep, the order's fine as-is. I'll post now!))
As the two Shinigami dealt with his opener in their own ways, Jan took the chance to prepare himself for their counterattacks. He released a wave of electromagnetic energy in the form of his trusted Detection Field so he could keep tabs on both, even if his focus were to shift on one. It was also a good chance to see what kinds of abilities the two would display as they got ready.
Xeion seemed to be making a show of blocking the electric attacks and releasing his sword not once, but twice. However, Jan felt his energy was too low to be that of a Bankai... He was a Vice-Captain, but maybe he was new enough to not have one yet? In any case, he would definitely have remain on-guard.
Tansen, on the other hand, used a simple barrier Kido to block Jan's light beams. Judging by how it shattered, Jan knew it would be nothing to worry about once he began putting a bit more effort into his piercing light beams. Plus, his Shikai attack was metal-based, meaning that Jan's electric manipulation would be an advantage to him. He could still use his other attacks to stop it as well, since Tansen would probably not have brought it out if he thought he'd get fried. The release phrase makes me think it may be like Maxi's matter-manipulation, though... If so, then I can't expect an easy time from him either...
At about the same time, Xeion began to Shunpo his way on over to Jan for some close-range attacks, but he had created a small darkness orb to absorb his electrons. Granted, they were not very concentrated yet, and Jan had far better attacks, but there was something about Darkness-type powers that irked Jan more than a bit. Damn those darkness attacks! Everything my light manipulation can do is powerless against a mere Pathos?! Perhaps I should take Xeion out quickly... But first...
As the two attackers approached him, Jan fired a large fireball at Xeion with a kick of his left leg, hoping that the flash of light would be enough to keep him out of his hair. To be safe, Jan jumped into the air, flipping over Xeion. As he passed overhead, he kicked out another fireball at close-range, hoping that his leg might even score a direct hit. Close-range types can be so predictable, but he's still fast enough that I need to watch him... Good thing we have the Detection Field!
Already contorted in the air, Jan was able to avoid the shock wave on the ground with the hope that Xeion would take the full brunt of the last. To be safe, Jan fired more piercing lasers from his wakisashi. He gave a brief swing of his Zanpakuto at the metal giant, sending a wave of blue lightning at Tansen on top. I'm already at a disadvantage with them fighting me... Oh, well. It just means I get to have a little more fun with the kids before I get sent back to Earth!
((2/10; 4/30 No offense meant to you in that post, Xeion, but Jan's attacks follow particle physics. In the same way that light is made up of photons, darkness is simply an absence of photons, which is why Jan doesn't like fighting that sort of enemy. "Mere Pathos," as Jan thinks of it, is just something that gets in his way.))

Xeion saw Jan-sama shoot a fireball at him from his left leg. Seeing this, the young shinigami Vice Captain quickly stepped to one side, thus avoiding the fireball. He was about to engage Jan-sama in melee combat once more when suddenly, Jan-sama jumped over him and shot a fireball at him yet again, but this time, from mid-air and at close range.
Xeion wasn't really surprised when Jan-sama had dodged his attack so easily. He was, after all, the lord of the Vizards. And also, it was good, in a way, for Jan-sama to be able to dodge for if Jan-sama failed to avoid that fairly straightforward attack from him that even Feiy-sama could easily predict and counter, Xeion would somewhat have a lower view if him.
With the the fireball barely inches away from hitting Xeion's back, it would seem as if Xeion would inevitably suffer a hit from Jan-sama. However, just as when Jan-sama's fireball was sure to hit him, a pitch-black void, writhing with cosmic energy, opened up and absorbed the fireball. At the same time, Xeion jumped inside the very same void where the fireball went into before it closed up, escaping the immense shockwave Tansen-taicho's golem made. This was one of his zanpakuto, Elena's, shikai abilities -- the Dark Mirror. Elena's shikai is also the reason as to why Xeion hasn't asked Kamashiro-taicho to train him for his Bankai yet.
Long ago, Xeion made a promise to himself that he would fully master Elena's shikai form and make Feiy-sama, or someone of higher status, acknowledge his mastery of his shikai before moving on to his bankai. He trained himself mercilessly for as long as he can remember after he made that promise to himself, and through training, he had mastered Elena so well that he eventually gained the ability to release Elena a second time, transcending her first shikai state with the help of an incantation and an offering of blood, wherein the result of which was Elena's "True Reflection".
It was like Xeion and the fireball had disappeared from the ring completely. Not even the mere presence of Xeion's reiatsu nor the fireball could be detected by the two combatants present there. Instantaneously, the void reappeared, but this time, it was right under Tansen-taicho's metal golem and out from the darkness rose Xeion's figure, smiling as he looked up at the captain who rode atop his creation's shoulder.
"I never really got to greet you properly since Jan-sama started the fight before I was able to. So anyway, good luck with the fight, Tansen-taicho!" He chirped happily, jumping up the metal golem and used its broad, metal body as a base to launch himself into the air at Jan-sama. Suddenly the the Dark Mirror under him shot out tentacle-like limbs, made from the darkness found inside it, which wrapped tightly around the legs of Tansen-taicho's metal golem. In addition, Jan-sama's fireball which was also absorbed into the Dark Mirror earlier rushed out with twice as much speed and power, not to mention quite bigger in size, than when it originally came in due to the Dark Mirror's 'Wrath'. Now, Tansen-taicho didn't just have Jan-sama's lasers and blue lighting to deal with, he also had the dark tentacles, which restricted his metal golem's movement, and the 'Wrath'-amplified fireball to deal with.
After dealing with Tansen-taicho, Xeion was once again free to engage Jan-sama in close-combat. Landing a few feet near his target, Xeion quickly rushed Jan-sama with a powerful sword thrust then arced Elena up to an upward slash at Jan-sama's face and finished by turning his body around full-circle, using the momentum of the turn to deliver a diagonal slash from Jan-sama's left shoulder down to his lower abdomen.
Not the type to risk a counter at close range from such an experienced fighter like Jan-sama, Xeion quickly shunpo'd a fair distance away from him, returning to his duel stance. But before he did, Xeion created yet another black orb with, like the previous one, floated up to the same height and started to absorb the residual energies which have begun to gather inside the ring like a light fog. "That's two." Xeion muttered.
[2/10]
((Well, Jan-sama, you can say that Xeion's zanpakuto is a darkness-type, but his zanpakuto, Elena, is mainly a dimension-based zanpakuto capable of manipulating dimensions --- you know, wormholes, teleportation, that sort of stuff. Also, think of the black orbs that Xeion's been making like vacuum cleaners. They "suck" energy particles (reiatsu and all) from the air and store it within themselves. One of their purposes is to keep the ring "clean" of residual energies which may obstruct combatants from fighting efficiently as well as for the purpose of just keeping it clean. In a way, I'm also doing it for your sakes as well. I'm sure everyone knows how much Xeion values beauty and cleanliness. (-^_^-)v ))

Tansen wasted no time in jumping off of his golem and watched in mid-air as Jan's lightning blast tore a chunk out of it's shoulder. Impressive power, no wonder he made it this far... He then landed softly on the ground again and grimaced as his golem lost another large piece of it's body as Xeion/ Jan's fireball crashed into it's center. I'm going to have to make something a bit more agile if I'm going to get anywhere. Plunging his sword into the earth again, the symbols on Tsumari-Renkin began to glow brightly as the sword began another transmutation. Strong, but light enough to evade attacks...I'll throw in a little surprise while I'm at it too. Tansen pulled the blade from the ground and then jumped onto the back of his latest creation, a dragonfly the size of a bus.
"Fly!" The wings of the shinigami captain's creation hummed as it took off from the ground and soared towards the two shinigami. "Here we go..." When Tansens dragonfly was just passing Jan and Xeion, the young captain brought his right hand up and aimed it directly at his two opponents. "Hado number 33, Sokatsui!" His eyes turned aquamarine as the shockwave of reiatsu erupted from his hands and crashed onto the earth below. That should get their attention, now for step two. While the two were lost in the cloud of smoke, Tansen quickly used the time to his advantage and plunged his blade into the dragonfly's back and after a quick flash of light from his zanpakuto, his new creation was completed. Now on top of the dragonfly's back was a neatly created Tansen dummy, complete with captain's hayori. The face looked quite ridiculus but it wasn't facing Jan or Xeion so he had confidence it would fool them.
"Now, before they find out..." Tansen the jumped off the dragonfly and transmuted the earth around him to create a small pile of rubble to hide himself in. With that last explosion, all they'll see is the fake me riding on the dragonfly and the few peices of rubble created from when I blasted the earth with Sokatsui. Perfect. He quickly hid his reiatsu and lied in wait for one of the two to take his bait.

((Tansen: How convenient for me to be online for your reply!
Xeion: I can see what you're saying, but Jan's not psychic... Don't be surprised when he doesn't see things as clearly and reacts rather harshly.))
While Jan was somewhat impressed with Xeion's ability to use his attacks against Tansen, Jan still felt a need to show him how battle was meant to be. Xeion had come in close for another sword attack, but Jan was able to simply weave away from the thrust and parry the slash with his own katana. He had been planning to counter with a thrust of his wakisashi, but Xeion's distance and new black orb kept him from being able to even send a light beam after him. Giving a clearly audible "Tch!" of annoyance, Jan could see that Xeion was already planning to absorb his energy projectile attacks.
At the same time, Tansen seemed to abandon his heavily-damaged metal golem in favor of a more versatile creation. After a simple flame-thrust, which Jan withstood by couching slightly and firing his own fire above him to intercept with a large explosion, much dirt had been kicked up from the concrete floor. However, Jan's Detection Field was till active, so Jan didn't even know that Tansen was trying to trick him.
Why's he hiding? The coward! I'll just smoke him out! Because Jan's Detection Field picked up on the electric energy of Tansen's nervous system, he could even see that he was in a crouching position behind some debris. He could also tell that he was minimizing his reiatsu due to his signatory fading away... But as long as there was electric energy in his body, the Detection Field would find him.
Xeion, who Jan figured would be affected by the dust and smoke, would be a little easier to deal with under the circumstances. Jan rose his Zanpakuto over his head before releasing a large amount of energy into the air. Swinging his katana downwards in Xeion's direction, Jan sent a large pillar of blue lightning down upon his position. "Hammer Heaven!" Let's see you pathetic darkness get to THAT in time!
Turning his focus back to Tansen, Jan could see that the beautiful dragonfly in the air was making no attack motions. To Jan, it was a clear distraction and possibly a trap. Choosing to ignore it for the moment (and to leave it be because he really liked the artistic feel of something more Japanese than a golem), he charged energy in his left hand and swung his wakisashi upwards. With the motion, he brought a large pillar of orange flame up from under the pile of rubble, hopefully hitting the hidden Captain in the process. "Hammer Hell!" Let's see how you like payback for trapping yourself!
Laughing as he sent his attacks around him, Jan shouted to the air so both of his opponents would hear him. "Somehow, I'm not so sleepy anymore! You kids better make this worth my time... The last match should be more fun, am I right?!"

((Of course, Jan-sama. It's realistic RP after all. 3nodding ))
As soon as Xeion saw Tansen-taicho fire a hadou at their position, he immediately opened a Dark Mirror from under him as he sank into the darkness, closing up after the darkness had absorbed all of his being into it, protecting him from whatever happened in that brief moment in time. "I see that Tansen-taicho picked a rather agile golem this time. Well then, I must be more careful since Tansen-taicho can fly now." Xeion thought to himself whilst inside his Dark Mirror dimension, waiting for the right time to pop out.
A few seconds later, another Dark Mirror opened up as Xeion stepped out of it before it closed up behind him. Looking around, the young Vice Captain saw that the ring was incredibly dusty. "Whatever happened here must've been quite big." He thought, going into the defensive since he couldn't see anything from a few feet away since the dust was still as thick as ever.
Xeion opened up five Dark Mirrors to cover him from all sides in case of a sudden attack -- one in front, one on each side, one behind him and one above him -- while he waited for the dust to settle. He couldn't risk the chance of getting hit in this fight since even a single hit from such two, powerful and experienced fighters may probably lessen his own combat efficiency. This was also the reason as to why he can't create another black orb to help clean the ring of dust, as well as the residual energies from previous attacks, that freely floated around the ring.
Waiting in the midst of the thick dust which surrounded him, Xeion covered his nose so as not to inhale the little particles of dust which were scattered in the air. Lucky for him, the two orbs he made earlier were doing their job as they were slowly absorbing the dust, as well as the residual energies, and were somewhat making things easier to see.
"Waiting for them to attack like this is getting tiresome. Maybe I should just..." Xeion thought but paused when he saw Jan-sama's figure in the midst of the clearing dust at the exact same time he swung his katana down. "What the...!?" Without a moment's notice, Xeion heard the loud crash of thunder from above him, but lucky for him, Xeion had been protected from the attack by the Dark Mirror as it absorbed Jan-sama's 'Hammer Heaven' into itself. Almost instantaneously, a large pillar of fire appeared a fair distance behind him. Not knowing why Jan-sama did that, Xeion assumed that it was Tansen-taicho who was the recipent of Jan-sama's show of power which was somewhat supported by the fact that the metal dragonfly merely hovered above, circling the entire stadium as if intentionally trying to draw their attention to it.
In battle, a warrior takes the chance and blesses the heavens if he is left unseen by his foes. If he tries to draw attention to himself, it only meant three things: that (1) he is trying to allow his comrades to take action, (2) he is powerful and wants all his enemies to notice him that he may have little time to waste in dealing with sparsely positioned targets or (3) it is merely a trap. Since the first two were somewhat not applicable to Tansen-taicho's current situation, the latter was the most logical option to pick. Shrugging off the thought that Jan-sama was able to do such things like the ones he used to attack with, he returned his focus to Jan-sama's direction.
Immediately, he closed all of the five Dark Mirrors. "This is it, now's my chance!" Xeion mentally shouted, holding out his palm as yet another black orb appeared from it and rose to the same height as the other two, absorbing the dust and residual energies around it, cleaning the ring in no time. "That's three."
Xeion then wasted no time and pushed off from the ground into a shunpo and was about to attack with a horizontal slash to the Vizard lord's stomach, its attack power increased by the sheer momentum created by the speed Xeion was going at with his shunpo. However, this was but a feign attack for when Elena's blade was but a mere two inches from Jan-sama's stomach, Xeion quickly pivoted to the left, half-circling around Jan-sama's body so that he was now facing his rear, loosing little momentum as he did so it still looked like a shunpo.
Once behind him, loosing no time, in one fluid motion, Xeion turned his body, using his momentum from before and performed a circular slash at Jan-sama's back. Then, as his body finished turning, he stopped with his left hand extended, palm wide open, at Jan-sama's rear. "I don't know if we are able to make it worth your while, Jan-sama, but I assure you that we will try our best. By the way, here's your attack back, Jan-sama. I hope you don't mind, but I pay my debts with interest." Xeion said and smiled.
A Dark Mirror opened up before Xeion and shot out Jan-sama's Hammer Heaven with twice as much size, speed and power than before. Either way, even if Jan-sama were or were not able to avoid the attack at point-blank range, since Jan-sama didn't move from his spot when he attacked, the straight line trajectory of the Hammer Heaven attack would probably still hit Tansen-taicho in addition to any injury that the Squad Eight Captain may have sustained from Jan-sama's pillar of fire. It was like hitting two birds with one stone; an incredibly powerful stone made from lightning.
Being cautious as before, right after his Dark Mirror finished shooting out the Hammer Heaven, Xeion shunpo'd away from him to a safe distance away. "Man, these guys sure are strong. I'm not sure if I can keep up with them if they get serious."
