Gather your strength [Training/closed]

[virgil]

Virgil jumped back from the slash that ichiru sent at him, just barely avoiding getting cut by the large blade. The force of the swing sent up a powerful wind however and forced the segunda espada even further back then he intended from the jump, landing quite a few feet away. As he landed he looked at the wounds he had delivered to his opponent and and saw that the rate he was hurting him would not be enough to stop him, if he kept regenerating like he was. Virgil spun his blade in his right hand, and began to charge a cero with his left, things were about to get intense. He stopped swinging his blade and used the momentum to kick up another gust of sand to conceal himself. He would then leap over to the side and fire his Cero out towards Ichiru, rolling onto his feet as he did so.

[ichiru]

With his elft hand seeing he missed he started to charge his own cero seeing his foe doig the same, he watched every thing his fellow espada did. he didnt think about the sand though, if he fired to soon or to late things could be bad. He sheaths his blade quickly with his right hand and fires his cero just before Virgil did. sadly he missed just by a hair, Virgil would still be burnt from the power he had used. Virgils blast was coming. fuck he thought.

he brings his right hand forward grabing his foes cero with his bare hand,the glove over his hand brakes off leaving his bare skin all away up to his shoulder he growls as he cant throw the cero away as it explodes soon after.

Dust all around Ichiru flys into the air as it clears ichiru stands there his right arm gone and some of his right win gone. Ichiru grinds his teeth as he starts to focusing on his inner power as out of the open place his wing shows out fixed and so does his right arm, his nails some what longer and painted deep black. Showing his devil like form under his robes. he pulls back his hood showing his eyes and his pale face with his long black hair. He grabs his ubber robes and rips it off leaving him topless. he cracks his fingers. showing his anger at Virgil but also he was having so much fun. he grabs his sword and slowly un sheaths it, leting his power swirl around it. A light pant comes from him, The healing was starting to show its tole on him.

"Nice move there Segunda. Im happy."

He starts to walk forward again, just walking showing no defense. if the man tried anything he would counter with his blade. He would hope.

[virgil]

Virgil stared in bother curiosity and surprise that his opponent regenerated his lost limbs so quickly, this was not mere high speed regeneration either, the entire lost limb was restored to it's original form with no loss of power or muscle what so ever. This was an incredible healing ability compared to the regenerative ability most arrancar traded for power; no wonder he kept it. He looked at his own left side and noted with both the cero and cut delivered to eat earlier, it was in pretty bad shape now. What surprised the most was the form underneath his robes, the "angelic" espada seemed to be a facade, for what stared at Virgil was no angel, he was a devil like the rest of them. The segunda could not help but laugh at the poetic irony of the tercero's resurrección.

Fascinated but still wanted the fight to continue, he then raised his sword with his right hand, and walked with a similar pace towards his opponent, leaving little defense. Virgil was gonna fight him with equal footing, that's how he wanted this fight to go. The two would approach slowly and with each step Virgil would flare his reiatsu more and more until it was at it's peak, raising his sword up his walk turned into a run as he went to clash swords with his fellow espada. If the two Collided the released reiatsu would surely damage the area around them.

[ichiru]

Ichiru smirked Virgil must not be noticing, it didn't, maybe doing it., he'll get to see his fellow espada in his true form, though he liked this man's sealed form, He brought his sword to block the mans attack and slides his blade against Virgils diging his sword into his foes, he then brings his sword back and pushes forward slicing his sword against not aiming for nothing more then Virgil's blade, noticing his blade was cutting into the steal.

"I didn't think i would enjoy a fight as i am know. Thank you Segunda"

He starts to slash his blade again moving more quickly, just a nice spar.

[virgil]

"My pleasure..." He said stepping back blocking the strikes with his sword. His opponents superior weapon skill was beginning to shine through however. As Virgil brought his sword to meet his opponents he was having more difficulty keeping up with the movements of his blade but that was not all. Each hit was harder than the last, it was like his power was slowly increasing beyond the limit his resurrección had given him. "Am I not strong enough in my current form? Impossible...I felt the power of his released form, I should have been able to handle it as I am..." Virgil was not gonna be pushed back by him, so he tried moving forward delivering slashes at his opponents blade as well trying to move him back instead of the other way around.

[ichiru]

A large smile comes across his face as he brings his sword up swinging his blade like it was nothing cutting virgils sword it just about a inch from the handle right clean off the top of the sword he had cut off fly's in the air and stabs into the sand about 20 feet away. with that Ichiru brings back his left hand and back hands Virgil away using all his strength to do so.

he brings his sword to his side, letting his aura go around him more freely. he was having much much fun. His plan had worked. but that was half of it.

"Release Segunda, Let me see your true fighting form. I want a good fight."

He didn't need to explain what his powers did. he thought it was clear now. His sword could cut through any blade in a matter of time. he could savoir his fight to the end when his foe would no longer be able to block. That was Ichiru's style.


((Btw Just out of odd ness...Elysium sounds like a anime last name ive heard before))

[virgil]

((en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium , pretty much it's greek for like a section of the underworld for warriors. I thought it fit his personality pretty well.))

Virgil pushed his sword against Ichiru's with all of his strength and was shocked to see his weapon crack, and then suddenly break in two, leaving him very little blade left in his hand. The top portion went flying several feet away, and Virgil was left open to a direct strike to his chest flinging him backward into the sand, causing him to land on one knee. He breathed in and out slowly as he stood back up, Ichiru had gotten strong enough to break his sword.

"So then...the longer you fight the stronger you become." The segunda stated the obvious as he lifted back to his feet. "Good, you might actually be strong enough then..." He said as he gathered his reiatsu around the remains of his sword. "I feared this fight would end too soon if I used my released power, but I see now that you may be strong enough to handle it..." As he spoke his power was growing, his purple reiatsu began spread out around the area. Currently, the two had an even amount of reiatsu but that would soon change.

"...Hermano Del Cerbero." His voice dipped down into a calm, yet terrifying voice as his entire body was engulfed by the light of his reiatsu. This was Ichiru's last moment to heal himself before the final part of their battle would begin.

[ichiru]

Ichiru smirked some what by Virgil speaking what his powers where really. he was right, in battle he did grow stronger, very wise of the man, controls him self having his healing powers of any small wound he may of forgotten, with that he grabs his sword with both hands and some what flys up into the air about 20 feet or so. just to watch the man release. He smiled enjoying feeling the power come from him. he new know he had little chance of winning but all it was..was a duel. a fun one at that.

"Oh i'm plenty strong enough. I just want to see the second strongest espada's release for my own to eyes."



((ah ok..i was thinking it was a last name in Gundam seed of one of the pilots but i was wrong lmao))

[virgil]

SPOILER: Click to show

Reiatsu: 190 + 65+ 20 = 275
Attack: 260 + 65 = 325
Speed: 160 + 65 = 225
Weapon skill: 100 + 65 =165

"Second strongest...? Hmph." The voice behind the cloud of energy voiced with disdain. The Primera Espada was no where near Virgil's power, yet with him still missing and the Lord of the Deep's refusal to remove Abel from his position, Virgil was forced into the second position until the fool finally returned. "Perhaps by the Lord of the Deeps terms..." He answered as his body was revealed to the tercero espada.

His sword had disappeared completely into his body. his humanoid legs were gone, replaced with the legs of a lion with white fur, his right arm had changed to have the head of a lion around it, It's mouth opened like a sleeve to allow his clawed hand to be revealed. His left arm was similar but instead with a head resembling a goat. The white fur appeared up his shoulders and around his back, creating a make shift fur coat in appearance. Finally, his tail had changed, a white anaconda had taken it's place and extended a huge distance, being nearly 20 yards in length. Over all three of these “heads” were the remains of hollow mask, each head representing one of the three personalities Virgil's body held personalities. His body overall is also more muscular than before.

"I disagree with those..."terms," however." The being stood there, looking up slowly to find Ichiru in the air. Just staring at him, he began to release the huge amount of reiatsu within his body to force his opponent back to the ground while his right had charged a cero within it. Ichiru could tell what would happen if he let his body get dragged back down to the sand below him.

((could be, I wouldn't be surprised if the name was used for other things))

[ichiru]

((Nah i was way off with the name..it just looked and to me sounded but isn't))

Ichiru gazed at the new reformed second espada. He smirked some what and laughed lightly, he taps his left hand on his bare chest but then felt a odd feeling like he had ropes around his ankles and being pulled slowly back to the ground. That was a upsetting feeling, he flaps his wings as fast as he could to keep him self raised into the air, he then notices the ball of energy. from the tip of blade he forms his own deep purple cero.

"As i said earlier. You should be the first Espada no one match's you in power. Not even I. But i new this from the start. Even with my power to cut threw any blade. Your power is greater."

A smirk comes over his face as his cero begins to charge even more. "I am happy of course begin the third strongest rank. Once i got strong enough i killed the last espada in this place. and took the rank. But you. You a very interesting fellow. I hoped to meet you on the battle field. Or just perhaps a cup of tea. But on the side note..shall we start again?"


All the time he was speaking his voice echoed as his wings of course where making a lot of noise flaping like a bird on glue. He let his cero go fireing it straight at his target. The released from of the segunda Espada. "Or we could have a cup of tea?"

[virgil]

Virgil's face seemed rather expressionless as Ichiru seemed to praise his power. It was true that the segunda had every right to be the strongest arrancar among them. But he was a patient being, he was going to wait and grow even more before he took the power for himself, perhaps the Tercero could even help him in that endeavor in the future. "Power shifts from person to person all the time, it is the weaks duty to eventually be consumed by the strong. Just as you and I have killed to reach our current ranks, we will kill again to go even farther...and eventually we will be killed by those who are even stronger." He declared as Ichiru's cero came hurdling towards him. The segunda espada lifted up his free arm to the cero in an attempt to hold it back, removing his reiatsu upon Ichiru so that he could more easily focus on blocking the Cero. For a brief moment Ichiru's cero seemed to be pushing him back, but then he clenched his fist around it the energy and threw it to the side, causing a massive explosion in the distance.

"And when the power here shifts again...I will stand at the top." He thought to himself as he raised his other hand now with the fully charged cero and fired it at Ichiru, the radius being absolutely massive compared to the one ichiru had just fired at Virgil. Luckily, the tercero was no longer being held down by The segunda's reiatsu giving him a chance to avoid critical injury.

"Survive long enough and perhaps I will have some." He answered vaguely to Ichiru offer as the cero headed towards him. He then launched his enourmous tail forward, charging it follow the tercero. The anacona would open its mouth, revealing massive fangs in which it would attempt to bite into its opponent.

[ichiru]

Ichiru some what laughed at the reply back about the tea, and truly under stood and agreed to the first comment but saying he agreed was pointless. Virgil was starting to under stand half how ichiru was. He still hadn't showed what kind of man he really was, hes eyes some what widen at the large cero coming at him he some what swears under his breath and with his wings and his speed he sonido's up and some what down as the cero goes into the sky when he came down he didn't think about the tail, he only really had one choice. But then again there was a counter attack. But the question was. what could a snake do. Snakes are poisons. he would rather not be killed by a fellow Espada. So he went to the more defense plan.

All in his mind it went so fast his thoughts his plans, but it was all in seconds when it came down. Ichiru swings his sword in a defense manner at the tail so it would bite down on the blade. his first plan was to stab down its throat over course it could prob swallow all the way up to his hand, but his blade was then to cut the poor Segunda's tail in half, he was more worried about poison. He smirked at his defense working against the tail, at first. The next thing is. He couldnt counter very well. His hands where on his sword handle still pushing at the snake head hoping still to cut the snakes head clean off. But what could it do.

"QUESTION!...what can this snakie do?"

Ichiru smiles nicly trying to be some what joking manner, and enjoy the fight even more.

[virgil]

The anaconda-like tail moved it's body to move around the blade and began to pushing itself, as well as Ichiru towards the ground. "Allow me to ansssswer that question." Virgil's voice said, however it came from the anaconda-tail instead of the espada far down at the ground. As it pushed him further down its mouth opened wide before breathing out a huge blast of fire, far more potent than when Virgil was in his sealed form. Following this, the snake would crash Ichiru back into the ground before retracting towards Virgil's body.

"Usssing your sssword was a foolish means of ssstopping my attack." The snake continued to talk, purposely mimicking how a snake would talk, even if he did not really have to. "My tail is just as strong as any part of my body..." The real Virgil began to say as the anaconda hissed out, "You'll need a better tactic than that to stop me." He explained before the large tail borrowed itself underground, leaving only Virgil's body above the sand. As Ichiru would try to feel its reiatsu, he would find that the only reiatsu he could sense was Virgil's, not where the snake was, and now it was borrowed underground waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

[ichiru]

((sorry for the long wait))


Oh this was a huge bother, The ground seem to come fast, so did the fire, he felt it burn over his wings, as he flapped his wings to try to take out the flames. the ground came next. He hits the ground with a some what tud. After a few seconds Ichiru picked him self up, holding onto his sword with his right hand, the thing he didn't think could happen did. Oh fuck in deed. He really did'y have much of a chance fighting the man now. He was tired, from healing so much. and The man did give him a tough fight. This was extremely bother seem.

"You are a good fighter. I give you that Young man."

Ichiru brings up his sword and then leaps into the air, having his wings start to give him flight. The snake attack would prob come second. That he thought would be Virgils counter. He points his sword at Virgil and charges a cero. With his left hand he also charges a cero. at half the strength with his sword cero. He fires it at the second espada. The counter attack he was waiting for. next.

[virgil]

Virgil moved forward with his increased speed to avoid the incoming cero, rolling to the side of its blast radius. He may be stronger than the tercero, but a blast of reiatsu like that was still very much harmful to his body so he made sure not to allow a direct hit like that. Immediately upon rolling back to his feet he threw his hand up as if to order his tail to fire up from the ground, which it would. "Come Forth!" Soon the Snake head would hiss as it exited the sand from directly below Ichiru and charged at him full speed. The Chimera perhaps did not see the counter Ichiru had planned or maybe he wanted him to counter his attack.

[ichiru]

Ichiru smirks as he see's the attack coming from the snake, he slowly brings his left hand down pointing it at the snake. "Cero" Form his hand he lets lose the fully charged cero at Virgil the thing he did not under stand, Why did the man do it. He must of seen ichiru charging a more power full cero, unless the man had a counter. meaning. Oh hell, He brings his sword in a defense stance as he lets his cero do its work, once his cero was fully fired he took his sword with both hands and dived down with his sword over his right shoulder, he then let lose his battle cry.

"RAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

It was more like a scream of anger then anything...(sorry for the other long wait..was a busy weekend..so many birthdays in my family >.>)

[virgil]

The snake tail's mouth opened as it when directly towards the cero with a cero of its own charged within its mouth, at full power. "It's not enough." Ichiru was smart to immediately move away from his own cero for the energy fired from the tail easily overwhelmed the cero he had fired at it, destroying Ichiru's cero and causing it to blast out into the sky, narrowly missing the tercero because he had moved. Meanwhile Virgil watched his opponent coming straight at him and would use his speed to quickly meet Ichiru in the air grab for his arm that held the sword before deliver a swift kick to his chest to knock him towards the ground.

[ichiru]

Ichiru some what was sad, that move didn't work..And the kick was most rude, and it fracking hurt. He lands on the sanded floor on all fours, with a loud Banging noise, His sword stabbed into the ground beside him moments later, Since with that kick he had lost his grip on it, and dropped it. He slowly picks him self up, his hands some what bleeding and with a cock of his head he spits blood to the ground. He takes his sword from the ground and yanks it out. He pants a little, but as he is about to take flight his form seems to go back to his sealed state. His sword going to a Katana. He looks at his blade and back at Virgil.

"Oh shit..Seems you win Segunda, you have tired me so much seems i cant keep my true form. Pity I would say."

Ichiru looks up at his fellow Espada and some what sighs. Only if he had a senzu bean.

[virgil]

Virgil would suddenly appear in front of him still having his power unsealed, his speed would be that much faster now compared Ichiru to allow him to do so. He grabbed a hold of the espada and held him, "You fought well, until you could not anymore, unile the others who usually call it quits. If you have reverted as you have that means you have lost quite bit of power...I respect that." he explained as he began to using the healing power of the lion head on both himself and ichiru.

"I'll heal you up, and then you're back on your own. I'll be returning to Los Noches. You've satisfied an urge to fight I've had, thank you tercero." He thanked the espada before continuing to use his healing ability, for the injuries the segunda had caused it would take a few minutes to fix the damage, but he would make sure to leave his comrade in a working condition before he left.
