The stench of battle grows strong when one approaches the grounds of the demise. This is a very intense zone in which your full power is allowed to be accessed, but at the cost of combat. While in this arena, you must accept a challenge, and you must fight till your heart is content. A rocky terrain covers most of this area, yet a few patches of wooded area also exists for a more tactical combat chance. This area is constantly destroyed and renewed, so destroying it is not a problem.

Death. The stingy middle man that stands inbetween the growth needed and that which can be accessed. It shows such little potential as a overwhelming fear that seemed to hold back the destituteness of real strength. Good thing, Ketsu Eki denied death.
Taking a deep drink from his flask, he placed it onto the ground, its metallic surface glowing indefinitely in the artificial light of the arena. Hateshiganai was slung over his shoulder, as he paced around a few large rocks. Dust kicked up a storm around his reiatsu, his face stagnant, as though no change had occurred within years. Crimson eyes bled through his appearance of boredom, which showed his need for combat.
"If you can impress me, I will promote you, if not, you are dead." The chuckle of a madman was the audio of the arena. For a man who denied death, it seemed to follow him. Licking his lips, Ketsu was prepared.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. "Oh real threatening. Dead, yes. Oh my, who wouldn't tremble at dyi~ wait, are we not already dead? Huh, mister shinigami captain" a voice echoed amongst the rocks, adding a deathly levity to the storm of reiatsu. Metal screeched against stone as the man walked around a boulder. Emeralds reflected the scarlet madness, sarcasm laced with poison dripping from the man's lips as the tiny hands swished a blade to and fro.
From the boulder he appeared to conduct the air around him with the blade, transfixed by the whirlwind of bloodlust and pure boredom that he could dispel. "I would say I'm pleased to meet'cha, but honestly you seem to be the one ordering my release. Too boring. You should have come visit me in prison, silly boy......could have used the touch of your oh so soft hands....." he said as he finally came within spitting distance of Ketsu. Xion's ebony skin glowed dully in the artificial light, or was it the inborn madness already leaking through? At any rate, Xion reached out to carefully grab his captain's nose with two fingers and scream out only three words.
"GOT YOUR CONK!"
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
"If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you."
Such is the Rule of Honor

"Damn fool!" Ketsu Smiled for a moment, this man had the same look in the eyes, the same that the master of squad three held in his own.
"Alright, lets see what you got." Ketsu spun his blade gently in the air, whistling to himself as he approached Xion. Pressing against the edge of the mans face, he grabbed at his nose and twisted. "I have got your conk." Ketsu let go, and moved his hand up Xion's temple, his fist the size of his head. Grasping onto the top of his skull like it was a ball, Ketsu lifted him like a ragdoll, and threw him at extreme speeds towards the boulder wall, dust and debris hitting the ground by Ketsu, who was several hundred yards away.
"Get up Xion. Draw your Zanpakutou, and lets see what kind of skill you have."

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. He returned my greeting! Xion thought as Ketsu gently grasped his nose. The black man smiled, teeth gleaming as the flashes of green hid themselves in his flesh. Thoughtless, weightless, Xion let himself go as he felt as if he was soaring like and eagle. Then a thought occured. "Wait. I'm not on the~" he said as he slammed though the boulder. "Hey. Not nice" Xion called, caughing up some minor amounts of dust and pebbles. Reaching into his robes he pulled out a small greenish bean. Grimacing as he poped it into his mouth, hes skin kintted itself together as the bones snapped back into place.
"You gotta love twelth squad" he said, picking himself up and dusting off the off black robes "always coming up with some new thing. Lousy security they have there, you would think the captain is gone or something". Xion rubbed his hands together and roughly tugged his zanpakuto out of its sheath. It felt cold and unuseful in his hands, weighing heavily on his soul. With a fluid movement Xion tossed the sheath up ito the air, rushing Ketsu half a moment before it clattered to the ground. Xion plunged a bony elbow into Ketsu's face, spinning around to slash down the other man's chest. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
"If I Die, You are forgiven. If I Live, I will kill you."

With a quick reference to some kamehameha bologna, Xion had ingested a bean that healed him. Smiling lightly, Ketsu stepped forward. "I released you for third squad, not twelve, but for now, good sir . . . Tell me the name of that Zanpakutou."
Ketsu continued to speak, as an elbow smashed against his face, doing little damage, but enough to knock him back half a foot. Grabbing the blade of Xion, he looked around for a bit, and whispered. "You don't seem very fluent with this. Swords sure aren't your thing." Moving around, Ketsu kneed upward into the air, with Xion's stomach connected to the attack. After being shot several yards into the air, the two of them were now floating.
"And how about your shikai? Do you have it yet?"

Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. Xion grinned at the mention of squad twelve. "Hey, I only picked up some new thing laying around as I passed. No patience for that stuff" He said in a stage whisper to Ketsu, more words being choked off as a knee decided that air was no longer allowed in the black man's inner organs. They rose in the air, Xion's bare feet settling uneasily on thin air as a scarlet force said something about a shikai.
"Well.......don't tell too many people, but I figured out the form of it" Xion actually whispered this time, his mouth inches from the captain's ear. "See, my zanpakuto cant fully release. Mean little thing refuses to tell me its name" he said, a faint metallic noise audible at such a short range. With a schoolgirl giggle Xion somersaulted backwards from Ketsu. A pure emerald reiatsu began bubbling out of Xion's pores, slowly fading in brilliance as he opened his mouth to reveal the cross studded in his tongue. With a well-practiced flip the pink blob sent the silver cross gliding out to rest near Xion's navel. "Lets go then" Xion called, another twitch of the tongue sending the bladed cross straight at Ketsu's left eye.For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,

Moving forward slightly, Ketsu stared in awe at the man. "So, you have an incomplete shikai. Doesn't seem to be much different from an unreleased blade, besides the appearance." As he spoke, he shunpoed behind Xion.
"Time for revolution. Let's see what you got. Blitzkrieg, it means to fight with everything at once, to sweep through the enemy and destroy them. Squad eleven, they come in after our original decent into the fight. We destroy everything and use all of our skills all at once, so here is your first test. . . Use every ability you have, within the span of thirty seconds."
Ketsu watched, and waited, his guard up, the power of the man was latent and repressed, but it was there. "Now go."

Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. "Meh, it promises power, but hasn't backed it up yet" Xion said as his attack sailed harmlessly into thin air. Blitzkreig huh? Lets get going zanpakuto thought the man, releasing the reiatsu threads that bound the chain to his mouth. He spun the chain, it growing to the full twenty feet. With a primal scream the bladed cross was off, glaring as it veered to the right of Ketsu's face. Steel suddenly clashed against steel. Xion's sword completed the circle, sending vibrations up the chain to arc the blade straight into where Ketsu's right ear should be.For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,

Ketsu remained still, he wanted to see how much damage exactly could be caused by the blade. "Yes. Back up that power zanpakutou." A light smile covered his face, as the blade went towards his mouth, the vibrations tensing up his ears, if not for the immense training, he would have winced.
The blade struck his face, only to fall to the ground. "Not strong enough, you couldn't cut my reiatsu." His own weapon was now surrounded with reiatsu, as Ketsu launched forward, slashing blood across the ground, which would force Xion to jump, if he had shunpo, he could avoid it, but alas, that was not the case.
Ketsu shot multiple slashes of blood forward, progressively higher each time, no matter how high he jumped, the blasts of blood would be reaching him. "Come on Xion! Don't tell me that is all you have got!" Licking his lips, a single drop of blood fell from the tip of the blade onto the ground, a black colored blood, as hateshiganai urged to fight.

Torik walked out onto the rocky terrain with a grin on his face, finally he would be getting some training. He had just recently been transferred from Squad Ten to Squad Three, he was hoping that this Captain wasn't as busy as his last. He was promoted to Third Seat upon transferring to the Third Squad, which is quite an accomplishment for him, especially without even knowing his Shikai or Shunpo. Torik had very little Kidou as well, so the only reason he could think of was that the Squad Three Captain admired his fighting skills in Swordsmanship and hand to hand combat. He sat down in the middle of the field unsheathing his zanpaktou, gently placing it upon his lap so in a way that he would not cut himself. Torik began meditating to attempt to speak with his zanpaktou to learn its name, but so far he has had no such luck.

"Come on, you're so stiff. Lift up your blade, and be a bit more relaxed about it." Ketsu's arms were touching the forearms of his squad mates, as he seemed to materialize behind him. Moving Torik's arms into an attacking position, with the blade upright, Ketsu nodded and slided in front of the man. "Now I want you to think about something. Would you move your arm outward to stop another arm? Sure, but another blade? Not without knowledge that you can stop that blade without being hurt. Just as if I were to use my bankai against your blade. You are new to a third seat position, it would break your blade in two. . . would you place your arm instead? No. You would instead use a stronger blade. But also, if my body was as weak as yours, I couldn't hold this zanpakutou. I think what you need, before you can acquire a stronger blade, is to acquire a stronger body, because good sir, the blade is an extension of the arm."
Ketsu paused, as his eyes flared a deep blue, the ocean deeper in his eyes than the sea. They pierced into the eyes of Torik as he made eye contact. The captain's eyes slowly shut, as a smile formed around his lips. "And a huge forearm with a small bicep is really creepy just like a really strong zanpakutou and a super weak body!" He laughed lightly, and began to draw his weapon, the freshly shined blade, and the polished edge were obvious, as this weapon was kept in great shape.
"I want to see you fight me, before I can teach you a trick to see your shikai. Give me a go, this is a test."

Torik felt an someone moving his arm and heard a voice, he was about to attack but then he saw it was Ketsu. He turned red with embarrassment as he listened to his new Captain. When he said he wanted to fight, Torik became nervous. He was mostly excited about finally getting some action, but all he could really do is hand to hand combat and sword play. His kidou was rusty and he didn't know very many, but he wouldn't let that be any excuse to why he couldn't put up a decent fight. Torik was actually surprised that he made it to the rank of Third Seat, was it his knowledge? Sword skills, hand to hand combat? He couldn't figure it out, he didn't even know Shunpo, so a surprise attack was impossible. "Alright Captain, here I come!" He said excitedly as he only held his zanpaktou with his right hand, he charged in at Ketsu and when he was within range he swung his sword down at Ketsu's chest with full force.
