Purpose: Practice/Working off rust (Feeling rusty)
First Move Goes To: Izuma Matsubara
Setting: The Deus stands waiting just outside of an Alaskan town standing above the middle of thick wood awaiting the Captain Commander himself. The sun is low in the sky and the air is brisk, yet in the bright Alaskan evening the Hollow King waits in plain sight, though no reiatsu can be felt from him....
The Sovereign has called out the Captain Commander, the two to test the other's abilities.

Izuma would arrive in the area and seemed to have a straight look on his face as he seemed to be rather patient and calm. His captains jacket seemingly picked up off the ground as he walked. However, he would suddenly come to a stop as he drew his Zanpackuto. "Draw out the blueprints that give birth to my creations...Write upon the papers the strategies that shall level pathetic invasions. Drip, Oni no Fude ( Demon's Ink Brush ).", Izuma said as his blade suddenly became a large Sumi brush and it appeared that it was his weapon of choice. "I'm going to cut the small talk....", Izuma said to himself as he slammed the brush to the ground and the look on his face seemed to be serious. "Sumi (インク, literally meaning "Ink")..., he said as his brush began to release think, black ink that seemed to have a strange and strong odor of Iron to it.
This ink puddle seemed to be expanding outward around Izuma as he seemed to be also releasing his spiritual pressure. He would eye the King of Hollows as he seemed to have a straight look on his face. "I will show you why I'm the Captain Commander of the Gotei Thirteen...", he stated as the glare in his eyes seemed more serious than ever.
Caressed by the Alaskan air, brisk and crisp, the silvery tresses of the Hollow Monarch's bangs swayed faintly as bright, austere eyes gazed out into the open air. However the air did not hold the male's attention long, the soft swish of a Shinigami's shunpo announcing the arrival of the challenge. From His standing perch in the sky above the trees and the thick of the wood Caelum gazed down at the Shinigami commander who'd arrived so swiftly.Just as it should be, Hollows above, Shinigami below. Soon I shall teach him his place and he, too, shall know.the monarch mused with the barest hints of a smirk upon his lips. Were this not enough, the man smiled as the Gotei's Soutaichou wisely began with the release of his zanpakuto.Good, so the man is no fool. He knows his own strength. And more importantly, not to underestimate Mine.
"Majide("Really?") Hmph."The corner of the Arrancar's lips quirked in something of a smile before the buzz of a sonido had him suddenly directly before the Soutaichou, surging forward, before transitioning into an overhead heeldrop. He was fast, but more than His sonido was fast, He was strong, His rippling muscles bringing down his heel with fearsome strength. As His foot came down, His body signaling the beginning of battle, His body immediately released unconsciously a intense force of reiatsu.

Izuma wouldn't flinch nor bat an eye lash as he saw his opponent move and suddenly start with bringing his heel down at his head. Not only that this Arrancar seemed to be releasing the bluntness of his spiritual pressure. "You're taking me a bit too lightly...", Izuma said as he brought up his left hand and that held a small ball of energy in it. "Bakudo #8 Seki!, he shouted as he brought the energy ball and it collided with the Arrancar;s heel. When this happened the ground under Izuma's feet suddenly cracked and began to uproot. However, his legs didn't seem to buckle or give way for this being to take the advantage at all.
It seemed, even with his young age, the Soutaichou possessed considerable prowess not to be even momentarily disturbed or blinded by the sudden burst of reiatsu. But it was not The Deus who was underestimating His opponent, but the other way around, for every strike the Monarch made came with the intent and force to break, to shatter, to ruin, to destroy. He came with the intent to kill, even if ultimately He would not. Yet Matsubara attempted to repel him with, of all things, a low level bakudo. Without Incantation. It was actually rather arrogant.... How ironic it would be that he would accuse the Hollow King of taking him lightly and do the same himself. However little did the Gotei Commander know, that was hardly an assault in earnest.
"Hmph."The shield held...for perhaps a second or two, before it became clear just how forcefully Caelum had brought down His heel as the magic shield began to crack and quickly shattered. Then unimpeded, His heel dropped towards the man's already raised and outstretched palm with the strength to break, if not shatter, bone. Fortunate it was his left, no? However this time Caelum would not dare to so casually test the youthful Captain Commander, thereafter immediately swinging His left hand over, index finger pointed at the man's face, the powerful orb of Hollow energy quickly forming."Cero."Contrary to popular belief, Cero can be fired quite quickly, though indeed they do not fire in quick succession. Therefore Izuma had but a moment to decide and act before potentially having his hand shattered, his forearm broken, or worse shattered, and suffering a close-range Cero to the face as Caelum prepared and released His particularly powerful Cero.
Were this not enough, Caelum's body began to glow with His reiryoku....

Izuma would keep his straight face as it appeared that the heel of his opponent was already coming at his palm. "Hado #1 Shō (衝, Clash),", he said as his palm released a powerful burst of energy that would cushion most of impact and speed of the heel allowing him to push away the hell andthen shift to the right. However next to address was the Cero that was being fired. "My, so impatient...", Izuma said as he would shunpo and backwards at the last possible moment avoiding the Cero that was fired at him. However it appeared that edges of his captains robe seemed to have gotten burnt by the cero.
In response, and being about 20 yards away, Izuma would once again put up his left hand and give cold glare. "Despite using a hado to slow and cushion your kick, you've fractured my palm and wrist...Allow me to return to you a bit of the pain.... Bakudo 61. Rikujōkōrō (六杖光牢, Six-Staff Light Prison)...", he said as six slabs of light appeared around the Arrancar flying at him in an attempt to seal his movements as he was still in mid-air. Izuma having done that now shifted his sumi brush to rest to lean on his torso and he put both of his hands up, aiming at the Arrancar. "Hado 88. Hiryūgekizokushintenraihō (飛竜撃賊震天雷炮, Flying Dragon Marring Heaven-Shaking Thunder-Sear)!", he shouted as a massive blast suddenly erupted from the palms of both his hands flying at the Arrancar lord.
Hado: 1.Shō (衝, Clash): Pushes the target or object away from the caster. 88. Hiryūgekizokushintenraihō (飛竜撃賊震天雷炮, Flying Dragon Marring Heaven-Shaking Thunder-Sear): Fires a gigantic electricity blast of spiritual energy resulting in a truly enormous explosion.
Bakudo: 61. Rikujōkōrō (六杖光牢, Six-Staff Light Prison): Summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection, holding them in place. The target is then unable to move any part of their body including the parts that were not struck by the beams.
The heel of His boot met flesh, bone cracked, and ink covered earth went flying into the air as His foot crashed into the ground as the Soutaichou evaded. Looking up through the debris Caelum's cool blue eyes seemed to smile. Though not entirely successful, the Captain Commander's tactics impressed upon the Arrancar Lord the Shinigami's capacity for quick thinking and resourcefulness. If for nothing else, the man smiled at the thought that this fight might actually be enjoyable. Good. He might actually enjoy this. The thought caused the reiryoku about His body to glow a bit more brightly. At the concept of being injured by the Shinigami Captain, Caelum's eyes narrowed, though the smile, however faint, remained on his lips."Ii, saa..."("Good, now come/come on....")Then it came.
Caelum felt it before He saw it, sensed it in the air before He knew it was coming. His approach was an unorthodox one, but should have sufficed, and so He released a sudden force of reiatsu causing the ground around Him to rupture and rise around Him. Chunks and slabs of earth rose and, just as He wished for it was the whole of His intention, the slabs of light slammed into rock. It was really a gamble, such a thing had never been attempted before, but Caelum was familiar with this spell, He knew it to be a immobilizing, sealing spell, therefore it stood to reason that it would work regardless of what it hit...right? However He could not be too cautious. Arrogance was among the bane of kings and Caelum had no intention of allowing it, at least in this instance, to be His undoing. Thus He swiftly leaped into the air over the sizable rock chunks before they could possibly be compressed on His form and still have Him immobilized. However He'd not anticipated the Commander to follow up so quickly with yet another high level spell. At least he wasn't taking Him lightly anymore.
"Tch..."As soon as Caelum had seen the blast it was upon Him, and it was large at that. Impressive speed for the size, and it was not as though it came from far away. Caelum's eyes began to glow as the reiryoku about His body gleamed brighter before erupting. Ira. The spiritual energy burst outward from the Arrancar's form in a spherical fashion, whirling about Him. But it wasn't enough, just enough to keep the brunt of the power from Him, and the monarch knew it, thus trying to deflect the blast as best He could given the circumstances. The whirling energy threw off much of the energy, purely from the sheer rotation of the energy He released, and with a powerful swipe of His left arm He sent it careening away...but not too far. The resulting explosion of electrical energy sent Him hurtling into the trees, singed and lightly burned leaving Him steaming and crackling, a numbness pervading His body. An incantation on that would have made it troublesome.
But it was worth it. As Caelum rolled and skidded to a halt, back hitting a tree, He smirked at what He'd accomplished with His little efforts. The ink soaking the ground was gone, vaporized or destroyed by the giant explosion of electricity that followed the blast. And Izuma was in danger too, for the blast was too close for him to get away unscathed should he not move or protect himself. A fair play. But this also told Caelum something. Surely the Commander would know the scope of the blast, yet he used it at near close range. 20 yards was no far distance, not in the face of an enormous explosion, on that sort of magnitude."I see...so, that is how we shall play it, hm?..."That quickly, the game became all the more dangerous as, crouching low in a predatory position as through ready to pounce or to spring and launch Himself forward, the King began focus and His reiatsu began to disappear.
He was internalizing His energy.

Judging from how this is going, and we've only just begun, I think I can tell I'm going to enjoy a good, fair, spar with you. smile
