Watching was interesting, but it didn't make him any more proficient.
He went over to the store of practice dummies. He found one that he liked and set it up a good deal away from the others and cast his mind back to when he accidentally invoked his Shikai.
--------------------------------------------
It was the park. He was hunting Hollows in the Park at night with the rest of his class. They had split off to go after a few more Hollows and the instructors were not here.
He had been waiting for the other Reapers to drive a Hollow to him, to allow him to hit it and hit it hard.
As he watched, however, the air divided from the ground up. He watched as the air opened up and something stepped through. It was cloaked in black, and it had a white mask on. Obviously a Hollow.
He went after it as hard as he could. Swinging hard at it. He had to get its attention on him down here.
He slashed at its legs, he leapt up and hit is on its hips, all that happened is that it screamed. It just kept walking. So he jumped again and stabbed deep where a thigh would be. That caused the giant Hollow to move its robe in the area where a hand would be and to hit him, and he couldn't deflect it.
He sailed through the air and impacted a set of Monkey Bars. He destroyed the set. Those bars hitting his hips and back really freaking hurt, he probably broke something.
He sat up, and coughed up blood. He had blood running into his eyes and his vision was graying out. But there were a lot of houses that the Hollow was heading for, and he couldn't be allowed to reach it.
Despite the pain, despite the injuries, he stood again, he picked up his zanpakto, Kidorui Genso, and he started running as fast as he could. Maybe if he could get in front of the Hollow and hold it so that the others could get here...
He got to a very large area of the park, obviously used to fly kites or play sports, and lept again.
"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Binding Art Number 9; STRIKE!!!" he yelled as loud as he could.
The red light started shining around the Hollow, completely engulfing it. Daven rejoiced when he couldn't move forward anymore, and he could feel the Hollow straining against the Kido bindings placed on him, and Daven strained to keep them in place.
It was hopeless from the beginning. The bindings shattered and the Hollow kicked Daven aside easily as he continued to walk forward. Daven screamed in agony.
He picked himself back up and his head felt funny, he was distant from himself, he felt removed and like he was looking at everything through a haze. He blinked and it only got worse.
But the Hollow was still there. He couldn't let it keep moving forward.
He leapt, screaming the name of Kidorui Genso as he jumped. He struck downward as hard as he could. And something happened.
The zanpakto writhed in his hand, and a chain descended from the hilt, which shortened to a one handed grip. As Kidorui Genso struck, there was a flash of light and he could feel his reiatsu flow out of him. There was a sound that was like a ripping of the Earth, and the Hollow vanished under his blade.
When Daven landed on the ground, he could feel the reiatsu of his fellow Soul Reapers arrive. He opened his eyes and was laying on the ground in a huge crater.
"Oy," his instructor called from the top of the crater "are you okay?"
"I -- I think so," he said as he stood up.
His instructor jumped down into the crater and was next to him very soon. "We need to get you back to the Seireitei and get you looked at. I called a Captain to come take care of the Menos Grande. I don't know how you took it out."
"Menos what?"
"Menos Grande, it's to the Hollow as Captains are to us squad members. They are a whole different level of ability. I'm really impressed," he was draping his arm over his instructor's neck.
That's when Daven saw Kidorui Genso, which had turned into a Tai Chi sword with a long chain and weight on the end. Daven reached down and picked it up and a new energy flowed into him. Just having Kidorui Genso in his hand made him feel much better.
--------------------------------------------
He was told later that the crater was 20 feet deep and about 40 feet across. Apparently it was now being used as a lake in that park. And just to make sure, he went back and looked to see if there was a report of anything weird on that day, and nothing was reported except a small meteor strike in that park.
He was also told that because Kidorui Genso changed, that he managed to invoke his Shikai form.
So did he have to be injured? Fighting a Menos Grande? Yelling Kidorui Genso's name? Maybe in that strange state where everything felt like it was removed from reality?
Maybe he should ask Kidorui Genso itself.

He spent some time in contemplation of that night. And finally he sat down where he was, zanpakto in his lap, looking at the target.
He turned him mind inward as he did whenever he meditated. He looked inward, but this time instead of just looking inward at himself, he looked inward and outward at the same time.
He sought that elusive thread of red, the thread that he felt on that night months ago.
After a time of looking for it, he finally found that little ghost of a thread. He plucked at it and felt it's scent. He smelled the sight of it. He looked at the feel against the skin. And he started following that thread.
It took him many tries, many failed attempts to follow that thread. Others came and went around him, but they all kept clear of his little practice area. Time had no meaning to someone who neither ate nor slept nor needed to heal. He had all the time in the world to find and completely follow the thread.
Finding that thread wasn't the challenge. He could find it easily enough, but following it into the depths of his own soul and mind, to find where the thread met the thread of his zanpakto, THAT was the hard part.
But because he did it once, he knew it was there.
So he hept finding, losing and following that little thin ribbon of red.
And time ceased to have any meaning to him.
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 11:26 pm
It felt like days.
He found the thread, he followed it, he kept swimming after that thread. It grew, became more significant, it turned into a ribbon. He knew he was close.
But the ribbon never stopped, it stretched for eternity where he was following, and it stretched forever behind him. All he could do was keep following it.
eventually it started thinning again, back down to a narrow ribbon, and even further.
He reversed his course and went the other way, but it didn't get thicker anymore, it kept getting thinner and thinner.
: No. : he thought. : No, it can't end like this. I can't lose it after all I went through to find this thread, it can't just dissapear! :
He kept tight hold on that thread, if he lost it, who knows if he could find it again. He was getting desperate.
: Please! Pease don't go from me Kidorui Genso, I need you! :
Imediately the thread thickened into a huge ribbon, and he felt a rush of power flow into him, and the ribbon started getting darker and darker, passing wine, into crimson, and still darker into red, and finally into a red so red that it was brown, the color of dried blood. He found himself looking at a wall of dirt. And that ribbon led right into the wall.
He stopped and looked at it. Why would the soul ribbon disappear into a wall of dirt?
An eye opened up just above and to the left of the ribbon. It was sideways, vertical instead of horizontal. And that eye looked at him. Next, after a bit of time, another eye opened below the first eye, also vertical.
And the hole that the ribbon flowed into split vertically and he heard a booming laugh.
"WHY ARE YOU FLOATING SIDEWAYS DAVEN? CAN'T YOU ORIENT YOURSELF BETTER THAN THAT?"
That's when Daven realized that he was badly oriented. If he rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, he would be oriented correctly. : Man, astral space is a pain in the tails... :
"Yes, it is!" the mouth said. Except with two eyes, it wasn't a mouth so much as a face. And that face looked like a face he had been dreaming of for quite some time.
"Kidorui Genso?" he hazarded.
"YES! I've been waiting for you to call me for some time now." Daven landed near the mouth and looked at it. The gravity pulled him in such a way that he was now speaking to a cliff face, not a wall or a floor. "You have been working with me, using me and training with me for years, and this is the first time you consciously called my name. You called it naming me, called it by accident, called it when explaining me, but you never called it and asked for my help. But this time you did. And I'm very proud."
"Tell me what happened that time. How did I kill that giant Hollow?"
"That was mostly me. I did that. You needed my help, and there was no other way to do it. I took over and I called out the Kiri Kuzusu, the 'Split the Mountain' strike.
"And now that I have given you the key, YOU must unlock the door. It is in your hands now."
And with that, Daven found himself shoved HARD away from the face of the Mountain. He found himself flying flying flying back and he hit his body HARD.
He erupted from his keeling position, grasping for his zanpakto, so violently that he jumped 8 feet straight up in the air.
He fell and landed badly, slightly twisting his ankle.
He groaned. And he panted. He shook his head violently, trying to clear it.
After a few minutes of rest, he stood. He looked at his zanpakto in his hand. "Erupt, Kidorui Genso," he said quietly.
And his Kidorui Genso changed into that Tai-Chi sword, and he found the chain and weight in his other hand.
"Oh, wow."
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:56 pm
He stood there. He held his released Kidorui Genso, and marveled at his looks. A beautiful sword, the handguard flattened on the sides so they were nearly flush with the blade and handguard. Straight as an arrow, edged on two sides, not just one. So now he could return a stroke in a backhand, not just on the forehand. Slightly shorter than his non-released form, but he had a good thrusting tip.
The biggest problem, as Daven could see it, was that it was going to be hard to wield with two hands. The grip had shrunk to a one handed grip. The mark to perform the Soul Burial was no longer on the end of the hilt, but on one side since the pommel was also thinner too.
Of course, his left hand would be very busy holding the chain and weight.
Just to see what would happen, he swung it several times around his head, and threw it at the target he set up, several feet out of range of the arc of the chain. It snaked out and wrapped around the neck of the target, and pulled tight. He jerked and the target came flying at him, which made it natural to stab with the sword as it was pulled in.
He disengaged the target and slung it back away from him. The target sailed off and landed, weights at the bottom pulling it upright without his interaction.
He realized that this was like the weighted end of a Kusari Gama, used to entangle strike, hold and pull people in.
He dropped the weight, and it shortened to just a few links and a weight, basically coiling up so it was out of the way.
He then started some standard sword dances out of Tai Chi that he learned quite some time ago. And Kidorui Genso started humming, a very quiet hum, a very steady hum, a hum heard more with the bones than with the ears.
And Daven could feel his reiatsu building. He was working with the sword, and it was increasing. He felt the murderous urge.
He danced through his routine, as if he had an opponent right in front of him, striking the head, arms, torso, legs, head, chest, with the edge, tip, guard and pommel. He tried throwing the sword while hanging on to the chain, and was able to accurately hit the target he set up, and retrieve his zanpakto quickly, then he tried using it as a knife on a chain, swinging Kidorui Genso around by the chain and letting it cut and slice instead of strike.
He tugged on the chain and Kidorui Genso was back in his hand.
He held it with the bade pointing down from the bottom of his fist. He tried casting the weight like a whip, and obedient to his will and desire, it snaked out and hit the target. He tried it from several different angles, sideways, underhanded, and when he struck in an overhand standard whip strike, the same explosion of reiatsu, destroying the target completely. And there was now a hole in the ground where there wasn't one.
"I can do the Kiri Kuzusu strike with the chain too? Why didn't it happen when I was stabbing, swinging and hitting?"
He thought for a few minutes. He then went over to another target and swung from the ground up. He said "Kiri Kuzusu!" and nothing happened.
Well that proves one part of the theory. He then swung horizontally left to right, right to left each time calling for the To Split A Mountain strike. Nothing.
Well, now for the REAL test.
He stepped back and prepared himself. "Split the Mountain Kidorui Genso!" and swung downward at the target.
He had prepared himself for something, but when the blade made contact with the target, he felt the huge outrush of reiatsu from him into the target, and the force of that hit caused the same explosion. But because he wasn't striking very hard, or intending to destroy, the resulting damage to the ground was fairly slight, just a hole about a foot across.
The odd thing was that instead of the blade rebounding from the point of contact, it seemed to be forced downward through the target. And then he did the same thing with the weight.
With some more practice, he found that any downward strike where he called upon the Split the Mountain caused the same effect. Not any horizontally, none from the ground up, just diagonally from the shoulder down to the hip, either side or a direct overhand strike, even when he wasn't holding the sword except by the chain.
By this time, he had destroyed all the targets except one. And now he had an idea.
Throwing Kidorui Genso so that it impaled the target, he held tightly on to the chain and said "Way of Destruction number 4, White Lightning!" and sure enough, the electricity screamed down the chain and into the target, blowing it up.
He jerked the chain and soon had Kidorui Genso back in his hand. "Oh, this is going to be interesting."
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2007 3:55 pm
Daven was very tired. He figured he had some enough for the last five days, and he was going to rest.
Back to the student barracks for him. He stopped concentrating and Kidorui Genso changed back to his sealed form.
After resting quite some time, he felt better. So he returned to the training grounds to practice some more.
Of course, now that he knew HOW to summon his Shikai, he had to figure out his weaknesses with his Kiri Kuzusu strike, and he had to know if there were limits to it other than his own reiatsu.
"Erupt, Kidorui Genso!" Once his zanpakto changed, he released his reiatsu, and reached deep inside and released even more reiatsu, dumping a lot of his self into what he was about to do.
He looked at a distant target, one of the practice dummies. He started swinging the weight on the chain in an overhand arc, as he kept increasing his reiatsu. As much as he increased the reiatsu, Kidorui Genso kept soaking it up.
With a building scream from the core of his being, he lept straight up and aimed for that target.
The chain and weight snaked out, striking the target right on the top.
And the target vaporized. It was blasted into spirit particles again, and the strike kept going into the ground. The entire Seireitei probably felt the strike when it hit.
It left a huge hole. Just measuring by sight, it looked as the entire tower would fit if laid down across the pit. And it looked exactly as though a meteor hit.
"Oh my god...."
He expected people to come running any second. Probably the Captains arriving first, responding to danger.

A gentle breeze blew past Daven as out of nowhere a black and white feather fell down infront of Daven."Your energy..."A soft calm voice said from an unknown direction as more feathers started to fall from the sky asif there were now a hundred feathers swirling around Daven."Its worth testing.."A man said from behind Daven as his back now was facing Davens back.
The feather slowly faded into thin air as the man moved his hand into the sky."So what do you say..are you up for a sparring match?"The man asked as a book apeared in his palm and a few moment later dissapeared again into a few feathers.
The man now looked at the split in the ground as he now aimed his palm at the split in the ground."It would be troublesome if anyone would see this.
The ground now started to close up looking asif the attack never took place."Thats better..so now shall we.."The man said once again as he faded and reapeared infront of Daven looking at him.

"I would be honored to kick you a**," he said, giving a half bow, never removing his eyes from his enemy.
Kidorui Genso came out of its sheath, and he prepared for a fight.

A faint smile apeared on the young mans face as he slowly closed his eyes and halfly bowed."Your a little overconfident boy.."The young man said as his two sheats were now revealed showing they were binded by chains.

Daven Moto
"Overconfident? No. Realistic assessment of my own skills? Much more likely."
The chains didn't disturb him at all. He had seen others so bound, but it was still something to keep an eye on.
He circled around the area they would fight in, keeping an eye on his opponent.

The young man smiled a little more as he saw Daven circle the area."Hehehe...your right you could say I'm weak in this state.."The young man said as his smile now suddenly dissapeared."But I must ask you not to hold back.."The man now slowly crossed his arms as his reyatsu now increased a bit now making it visible."Cause if you hold back it would mean...DEATH.."
The young man now faded into thin air an apeared few feet in the sky."Now lets begin."while airborn he aimed his two fingers down at the ground."Destructive art White crashdown.."Theyoung man said under his breath shooting a beam of lightning into the ground causing dust to sweep up like a smoke screen and he now dissapeared into the dust.

Hmmm, Air step. Nicely executed. But....
Daven changed his perception and increased is riatsu himself, and moved out of the way. His perceptions slowed, making it appear to him that everyone else was moving slowly. The perception change was necessary so he could still interact with the world around him at a high rate of speed.
He grabbed one of his whips in his off hand, and it snaked out and wrapped around the ankle of his new opponent. Giving a yank, he pulled HARD.
Then the ice hit his opponent.

The wip was about to freeze the young man as he was pulled out of the swept up dust."Your efforts are....Futile.."The young man said as he faded once more and apeared in the air."This guy is strong.."He thought to himself as he landed on the floor.
"And that wip.."The young man now dashed towards Daven at a regular speed attempting to punch him but then suddenlyfaded and apeared above Daven heeldropping him in the shoulder.

The throwing off of the whip was expected, so it was no surprise.
With his perceptions speeded up, he saw the flash step from where his opponent was to where he was coming down at. It was very easy to pull up his Kidorui Genso and let the heel stomp impact the edge of the blade instead of his head.
A kick followed up to the exposed inner thigh, which should cause his opponent vast amounts of pain.
The Ice Whip curled around Daven's torso, out of the way and ready for action. And Daven waited to see what the next move would be.

The young man was suprised his oponent could counterhis movements as he saw the he slightly moved making the kick collide with his chin."How did he..."The young thought to himself as he was sent flying backwards in a backflip and landed in a one handed handstand."Damn.."He came back to his feet.
"Your the first to injure me..."The young man said with an serious face."The name's Triox azamura.."
Triox now crossedhis arm's against his chest as his reyatsu now increased a bit."Zerox..release yourself!!| Triox said as the chains binding his left zanpactou broke and reformed around his arm and the black blade slowly unsheated itself slowly.
Triox grabbed the blade as he now aimed his blade to the ground beside him."Now come at me.."Triox said asif his voice now changed to a more dark and deep one.
Posted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 2:33 pm

Well, this fight just went from zero to sonofabitch in like 0.08 seconds. I might be in trouble here.
He tested the currents of the reiatsu he felt around him and prepared for an attack from the ground, which would probably be a mistake.
He readied himself to dodge in any direction, including down if he had to.
Just to keep the initiative, he held up his palm "Way of Destruction number 54, Abolishing Flames!"

Triox slowly closed his eye's as he moved his body and sword in a dance like movement."Dance of the black flame.."Triox whispered as he now moed at an high speed clearly moving out of the flame's way as his own blade shot a black flame into the sky.
The sky darkened a bit as the clouds moved aside due to a rain of black fireballs that came down raining on into Davens direction.
PostPosted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 2:46 pm

s**t!
He Flash Stepped out of the way and had to keep running around dodging the fireballs.
I've never seen this before. No Shinimgami has this kind of power, not even Captains. I wonder what the hell this is...
While he was thinking about this, one of the fireballs hit too close, blasting him backwards and driving the air out of his lungs as he hit the ground. And he just had to lie there while he got his breath back.
But thankfully he wasn't out of the fight just yet.
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2007 3:22 pm
Daven Moto
Well, let's see what I can do now.
He cheated, and he knew it. It was a dirty dispicable cheat, and he called upon some of his Kitsune powers. He Earth Steped.
Like a Flash Step, this was moving through the Earth. There was also Fire Step, Water Step, Air Step. The disadvantage was that he was moving blind. He kept his mind open to the riatsu he was sensing, and moved toward it quickly, through the ground. His passage caused no disturbance, and he emerged behind his opponent.
He tapped him on the shoulder. "Missed me." Then he swung with all his might, a horzontal strike at the waist.
PostPosted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 4:25 am

He moved his zanpactou in a afterimage style nearly stopping his oponents blade in its track's.
"I'll tell you a little secret...It might seem like I completely blocked your attack..but as you can see I wasnt fast enough."
A small cut now slowly opened at Triox's waist."And I can see your a lot stronger than you look.."He now took a few steps back as he slowly resheated his blade but now holding the hilt tighter than before.
"Why dont you show me more power.."He said as he moved the hair covering his left eye revealing an eyepatch with a scar hidden behind it.

"Well, I tend to work on the philosophy that you don't use a shotgun to kill a gnat. But if you want....
"Erupt! Kidorui Genso!"
Once the tranformation sequence had finished, he threw the weight so it would bind Triox's arm to his side and started circling at a high rate of speed, tying him up.
PostPosted: Sat Sep 29, 2007 1:14 pm

This is an difficult situation.."He tought to himself.
He now smiled again."Now is the time.."A voice said out ofnowhere as if a mysterious force spoke.
"I will awaken and turn the earth into a waste land,the tree's and plants into ashe's and the sky will rain fire and the I will emerge obliterating my enemies under the heat of my flame!!"
he now slowly unsheated his blade now slowly black flame's formed around it and Triox slowing down the binding spell.
"Now zerox show us your strength!! and set our enemies ablaze!!"
The blade now transformed into a black blade with the words"Sword in the sun."Engraved into it.
"Now lets begin the true battle.."

He recovered the chain and moved closer to his opponent. He kept flash stepping around him, in various points keeping Trioux contained.
(( point of order here, I've created another kido that I want to use in this fight, but I wanted to check first before I used it. It's one of those "possible godmod" spells that are kind of out there. Here it is:
Quote:
* 65. Sticky Hands. A binding spell which allows the user to hold on to the target person no matter what happens. It also allows the caster to have an advantage in knowing what will happen during an attack and to be able to counter it. He can even block the opponent's attacks with the opponent themselves. THIS IS A KIDO OF MY OWN CREATION!!!!
It's a binding spell, designed off REAL martial arts techniques called "sticky hands" which does exactly what I describe here. It's a Master's art, but when executed properly, they have a lot higher chance of blocking and countering strikes, they can defend with your body, and it's nearly impossible to get rid of them. It's explained as them using their Ki or Chi to remain in contact with you.
But since I was hoping to use it, and since it's not a kido used in the anime or the manga, I wanted to clear it first. ))

Triox closed his eyes as the flame now formed a circle around him like a barrier.
"The flash step technique..smart.."
The flame now started to spread turning the flowers around him into ashe's.
(Fine by me I'll figure out a way to turn it against you..i like a challenge)

Flame attacks? Gonna be interesting. Let's change the tempo of this dance.
His Flash Steps changed tempo, it became a vortex around him, spinning, moving the air, changing the breeze. It twisted the flames around, containing them and suffocating them, starving the flames for air, snuffing them out. It sucked the air down from the top of the vortex intensifying the flames in the middle of the vortex, concentrating those flames in the middle, spinning and twisting them into a flame funnel.

Triox looked the the black flame's being removed and smiled a bit as now jumped up skyhigh aiming his blade down on his oponent.
"Flaming dragon hurricane!!"
His blade shot down a huge blast of black fire in the form of a dragon.
The dragon twisted and turned comming down at an destructive speed burning everythig in its path.
PostPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 7:03 am
Daven Moto
A Dragon of Fire. Well, a Water Dragon would destroy, it but since I don't have any water nearby, Earth will have to do.
He reached down through the power of Kidorui Genso and pulled up a shield of Earth, making sure that the dragon shape would impact it, and not him. He then Flash Stepped behind Triox and swung.
"Split the Mountain, Kidroui Genso!" Once again he sped up his perceptions so everything looked to be moving in slow motion, so he could see exactly what was happening with his strike.

"His speed..at this rate I cant keep up.."
He was struck in the lowerback but it sounded asif a hard substace was hit.(That would be my hollow boe thingy since it starts at from my lower backand ends on the higher part of the back)
Triox was sent flying dowwards towards the ground crashing into it at a high speed creating a small crater sweeping up dust.
"This is unforgivable.."
"Triox let me take over for a while..NOW!!"
"I will be reborn through you!!"
the dark voice roared as Trioxe's lifeless body slowly stood up with black purpleish glowing eyes
The dust suddenly started to circle as it now was dispersed by a huge amount of energy.
Triox was standing there with a huge reyatsu flow formed around him.
"Your end is near.."

Daven watched in horror when his opponent who should have been killed by that strike, stood up.
Damn, gotta hit fast
Moving fast, he hit him twice more with the Kiri Kuzusu strike, once with the weight, and once more with the sword as he moved in. Driving him into the Earth.
And just to be sure, he ramped up his own reiatsu, just to be ready.

He looked down at the ground as he got hit by the massive force into the ground.
"The fool.."
The ground started to crumble around Triox as earth particles started to levitate."I'm not Triox.."He saidas his energy created a larger crater around him.
"Now let me show you...true power."
Triox now dissapeared leaving a crater behind he now apeared above Daven comming down in a highspeed heeldrop top the head."Hell's devine judgment!!"Triox said as black reyatsu wrapped around his heel.

Daven noted him move, and managed to twist just enough that the heelstrike hit his shoulder instead of his head. The impact still sent him spinning off and only by twisting in the air was he able to retain his feet. He still slid on his hands and feet before stopping.
s**t...... Damn that hurt.
He quickly ran through options.
1. Keep hitting him with the Split the Mountain strike (shown to be mostly ineffective)
2. Try the Ice Whip again (better chance of success than the Fire Whip)
3. Try a different Kido, either binding or destruction (shown to be able to dodge these before).
4. Pull upon his Kitsune nature and the magicks he learned in other places until something better comes along (possibility of success, slim)
5. See if his Martial Skills (his best attribute) alone is enough to allow him to beat this *creature* (best chanse of success at this point)
6. See if Kidorui Genso has some other trick up its sleeve (which can be done while fighting)
That's what I can do. Good, a plan at last.....
He readied himself for the next attack.

Triox slowly turned into Ichigo's direction sensing his reyatsu he now turned back to Daven again.
"Tch ..Ichigo is here aswell..."
He now stabbed his blade into the ground and jumped up landing on the hilt."Why dont we make this match more interresting"Triox said in a calmvoice as his eye's turned back to normal."Fight me at full power.."
Triox stood there on his blade looking at Daven with his arms crossed against his chest.

Damn, he wants MORE? These aren't love-taps he's been giving me. I don't think I can pull much more out of me.
Daven kept waiting for him to attack. His bag of tricks wasn't exhausted yet, and it was interesting what a little shove at the right time could accomplish. Maybe there was enough in him that he could pull it out, but right now he was fighting at near his limit.

"It's strange...he's been able to counter my attacks so easily...but I'll have to remain on a low level for now since Ichigo is here aswell"
He looked into Ichigo's direction from the corner of his eye's.
"So you ready to fight me on a higher level of power.."
an invisible unciounsious force of reyatsu started to circle around the sword that was stabbed into the ground.

I'm going to have to provoke this
He threw the weight trying to get Triox to attack him so that he could make his next move.

"Now if you wont attack me I'll have to make you.."
The blade Triox was standing on started to glow as the ground now trembled and four blades came out of the ground spinning around Daven.
"Now are you ready for complete anihilation."
Triox saidfrom a small distance as the four blade's slowly turned into small black feathers as sharp as a katana

He got hit by one of the feathers before he realized just how dangerous they were. Then he concentrated on preventing those from hitting him while he worked his way nearer his opponent. But while he was able to prevent most of them from hitting, he was getting hit occasionally.
And his speed wasn't able to compensate for everything.
He did his absolute best, speeding himself up, stepping around, dodging and blocking, but he was still getting his backside kicked.
Finally he worked his way to his enemy, striking distance. "Binding Art number 65, Sticky Hands."
He reached out with his free hand and grabbed Triox, and started using his body to block the "feathers". Which simplified everything greatly.

The feathers moved aside before encounterring Triox swirling around Triox and Daven.
"It seems he countered me again..tch.."
Triox still stood on his blade.

Remaining in contact with him allowed Daven to be able to anticipate his attacks due to the ebb and flow of his riatsu. Which gave him a heck of an advantage.
The short ranged attacks on Triox was really good too.
With Kidorui Genso in hand, he started stabbing and slashing at Triox, always keeping one hand on him. Strikes from Triox had a limb of Triox's pulled in front so he was hitting himself, and then he would also be hit in a different area by Daven's sword. Slashes on the face, head, torso, arms and legs all compounded.
Daven felt it was fair since he too so much damage from the "feathers".

triox
Triox managed to fend of a few slashes and stabs but was hit by a stab in the stomach nearly missing the vital area's
"Tch..I'm in a difficult situation..i gues I have no choice"
The feathers now all pointed at Daven and Triox.
"Now we both die!!"
The feathers now came at both of them at full speed.

DAMNIT!!! Oh.... that HURT
He was hit about 15 times with no chance of avoiding it. He tried to get away and broke his kido and jumped far, and promptly collapsed. He lay there wondering what would happen when he died.
He heard Triox's panting a little way away, knowing he was hurt too, but it didn't matter.
---------------------------
He found himself standing on a valley floor, looking up at the cliff wall. He could see a cave and some hollows in the shape of a face, so he wasn't shocked when the cave started talking to him.
"NOW IT'S TIME DAVEN. YOU HAVE PUSHED YOURSELF TO THE LIMIT. YOU HAVE TO SAY IT NOW."
"Say what?"
"YOU HAVE TO CALL UPON THE ALL RELEASE. IT IS TIME"
"But I'm no where near ready yet."
"YES YOU ARE, YOU HAVE THE TIME, YOU HAVE THE CONTROL, YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE CONFIDENCE. DO IT OR YOU WILL DIE. I CAN HEAL YOUR WOUNDS, BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS NOW!"
--------------------------------------
His eyes cleared. He hurt a lot, and it was very hard to move. But he stood up.
He held Kidorui Genso in a standard stance.
"BANKAI!"

An explosion of riatsu followed, and when the dust settled, he wasn't bleeding anymore. He held a Naginata in his hand, chain returned to the tassle on the end.
The weight felt good, heavy and able to cut through anything. Daven noticed that the back edge of the Naginata was sharpened too, so the cleaving edge could also cut on the back swing.
And with that in hand, he yelled and lept for Triox.

"Now you die!!!"
A dark voice shouted as his second blade's chains broke ofand reformed on his other arm
"Sword in the moon..."
"Swordsin the sun.."
Two voice's spoke at the same time as if the two dwelling spirits oftheswords fused together with that of Triox the chains now wrapped around the hilt of the blade making one of the blade's pure with and the other pure black.
"Swords in the eclipse!!!"
The voice's now shouted as two white with blacklayered wings ripped out of Trioxe's back and his left ey turned black and his right eye turned silver a grey reyatsu formed around him healing his wounds.
"this is my curse and I'll be more than glad to share it with you...BLADES OF MISSERY!!"
Blade's started to amerge from all over the place. (Like zenbonzakura)

This is going to be interesting1
The blades flew toward him and he did his level best to dodge, but inevitably one got through his dodges, and he blocked with his Kidouri Genso. He called "Split the Mountain" and the riatsu flowed from him into the block, exploding everything in the area away from him at a high velosity, sending some back at Triox.
Oh, that's interesting, I can now do that strike from ANY direction. NICE!
He Air Stepped to Triox and chopped from the ground up, hitting hard and blasting him high into the sky with the Kiri Kuzusu strike. And the amount of power that he hit with was almost five times as hard.
s**t!

The halfly transformed Triox was Thrown into the air and turned into feathers.
"My transformation will be halted for now.."
He said from a distance with a small cut at his left shoulder wich slowly closed up.

Breathing hurt. Standing hurt. About the only thing that didn't hurt was if he fell down, but then that would hurt.
He Stepped back to the ground and let Kidorui Genso transform back into his katana. He put him away and nearly collapsed.
He was tired and he would need more practice with his Bankai, but it was his now. He knew how to use it, what it could do and there would be more opportunity to use it.
wow

Vaizard Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo was at the shinigamis side. "So, having fun? Haha!" Ichigos blade was swirling with reiatsu as he looked down at the shinigami. "Welcome Too The Soul Society!" Ichigo said with a smirk!
Then he in hailed then exhailed heavey. "I see you are already interduced to the war." Ichigo began slowly rising reiatsu as he watched the shinigami. "Ichigo Kurosaki! And Yourself?" Ichigo asked looking straight ahead.

"Daven.... Moto. Kitsune. No squad. Ple.... ased to ....... meet ya."
He felt as though he had been put in a dryer and had it turned on "super fluff".
This took a lot out of him.

Triox apeared back to Daven motto and ichigo in his normal form (Human)
"Your a strong shinigami...I can see that"
The chains wrapped around his blades once more and his reyatsu lowered.
"The legendary Ichigo kurosaki..its an honor to meet you."
His wounds now healed as he trew a small capsule towards Daven
"Drink it it will lessen the pain."

Daven drinks it.
"Thank you."
Gigai and Artificial Soul: He has an artificial soul to use his gegai when he is on Earth. His Artificial Soul's name is Kimi and she acts like a 12 year old girl. She's obsessed with cute things, squeals a lot and tends to be a bit airheaded. Daven tolerates her because she tends to find a place to hide and then stays there when fighting is breaking out, which is the point of him using her.
So again he worked. He found a mercenary group to join, a set of ronin who were dedicated to training themselves and others to a pinacle of perfection. He started out in the Combat arm, the area he was most proficient at, but eventually the killing got old. He was good enough that there was little challenge taking on one or two enemies and defeating them, and taking on more by himself could have harmed those who were not involved in the fight.
Leader of the Zaigou, Head Kitsune in the Sereitei, Guardian Spirit for the Moto Noble Family, Captain-Commander of the Sereitei
Kitsune Heritage: Multiplicity and "false copies" of myself (maximum of 9 that are very short lived, less than one minute), remote puppet (only one) that can fight while "I" stay safe someplace else, able to hide in plain sight and able to confuse pursuit. Shape change to a full fox with nine tails (no additional play effects, just a "special effect" for story)
His reiatsu color is a fox red.
