Karzan and Abel had been resting in an abandoned factory for about an hour or two, and they were mostly recovered from the fight they had just had in the Graveyard. Abel was the most damaged, with two injured shoulders, and several burns from Karzan's Cero blasts. Karzan was beat up as well, sporting a few dozen Cero burns as well, and some cracked ribs.
Now having had some rest, the two of them were in better shape, the burns on them healed, and Karzan's cracked ribs no longer so cracked. One of Abel's shoulders had completely healed, but the other-which Karzan had pierced right through with his sword in order to pin Abel to the ground-was taking a bit longer. Karzan was at this moment was doing a few exercises to make sure his body was working, and turned to look at Abel.
"How's the shoulder coming along?" he said mildly, "I really should have thought more about the down time we'd have to take in order to recover."

Abel for most part was general ok but damn Karzan did do more damage to his shoulder than he would want to admit but alas. he let himself rest a bit more and while he resisted the urge to literally punt Karzan he settled for a more calm approach.
my shoulder will do fine with some more rest and yes you should have thought more about it but such as life is we can't control what happens any more than a shinigami can. so we just do what we can nothing else........oh and not bad with your swordsmanship, your improving at a good rate. Abel spoke the truth and while it wasn't as good as himself it still held merit. yawned before turning back to get some more rest, he needed it to get his shoulder to heal or else, easy target.

"I still prefer to fight with my hands," Karzan said dismissively, "but improvement is to be expected. I can't stay skill-less when it comes to using my blade.
Karzan looked around, and started to walk off. He went exploring the building, walking around the machines, and wondering what used to be made in this factory.

he sighed before finishing up his rest having not fallen asleep but at least now his shoulder wasn't too horrible just sore. he stands up and stretches his limbs makin sure he'd at least be able to move unhindered by anything before looking where Karzan had wander off too.
meh I'd rather rest somewhere near a river then this place..
he muttered to himself, as he finished stretching.
He then would look around before going up to the roof, and bask in the cool air, before jumping back down and walking around looking for some lost soul to snack on, perhaps there were some in here.

He had been following the reiatsu for quite awhile as he finally neared the industrial district. They were clearly hollows, and most likely Espadas. He noticed one as being Abel's and the other one was slightly stronger. He stood on top of a building and decided which one to follow. He choose the new reiatsu and shunpo'd until he was inside the factory. He began flaring his reiatsu giving away his position.
He was on the highest level of the factory. It had a high roof, and was filled with only chairs and computers. He figured this was the executive room or a room to monitor production.

Karzan looked in the direction of the spiked reiatsu. It wasn't Abel, but someone else. Walking around, Karzan found a set of stairs and began to walk up them. A few minutes later, he had reached the top floor, and once again began to walk around.
He eventually came to a door, with a sign saying 'Staff Lounge' on it. It was from this room that the flared reiatsu was coming from. Karzan placed his hand on the handle, and pushed the door open, not caring who was beyond the door. The reiatsu was not overwhelming, so even if it was a Shinigami-which it seemed to be-there was a good chance he could win.
The person in the room indeed appeared to be a Shinigami, but Karzan knew that Visards were not all that different from the Shinigami in appearance. Knocking on the already opened door, Karzan spoke at the back of the stranger saying, "I can only assume you want something. Someone who doesn't want to be found doesn't go about flaring their reiatsu like that after all. So, out with it, what do you want?"

Abel having found one random soul quickly devoured its reiatsu before yawning. He then felt a spike....of familiar reiatsu. So Drake was around eh. meh wonder what the hell he wanted, for that matter Karzan was quite near Drake....meh might as well see what the guy wants anyway.
"guh, as long as I can just get more rest....." Abel said as he began walking towards the spike jumping around more than walking before finally spotting a room, said room had both Karzan and Drake in there so Abel not wanting to interrupt sat near the room on a piece of machinery, leaning against it to at least relax more letting his lazy side takeover

"You're an Espada, why are you here in the human world? I see you also are with Abel too. So I'm assuming you're either the Lord of the Deep's right hand man, or the might be the Lord. Am I wrong or right?"
Drake unsheated his sword and began twirling it around getting in his fighting stance. He would most likely have to release soon, as he could already notice the gap in between their powers. Raw power was in the Espada's favor, maybe his fighting style and techniques weren't.

"I am Second in Command of the Arrancar and leader of the Espada," Karzan said passively, "I came to the world of the living to retrieve Abel, and decided to stay for a little while we recuperate from a fight we had. I'm not nearly as powerful as Lord Anubis either, so you should feel lucky."Drawing the Cazoleta from it's place at his left hip, Karzan place the blade in his left hand, and caressed the edge of the metal softly speaking the name of his Zanpaktou, "Destello-Colmillo."As his reiatsu exploded, and dust was kicked up, his arms and legs were covered in black armored Hollow skin, which made his fingers and toes clawed. A collar of white hollow skin also appeared around his neck. "And you appear to be a Shinigami so I don't feel like holding back this time."Reiatsu: 160+65+10=230
Attack: 170+65+10+5=250

Post by Zakura Kessin on Apr 13, 2010 13:30:34 GMT -5
Zakura had been feeling the need to find another training ground for awhile, one suited more for urban combat. Training in an outside environment was okay but it only got people too used to fighting amongst nature. So he had been searching around, looking for some sort of an abandoned warehouse or large facility to accommodate his needs. He had just entered the industrial district when he felt two reitsu signatures flare. One he recognized as Drake, who he had a challenge to go to in a couple days, the other was unfamiliar to him but he knew it was a hollow and with the amount of reitsu that was being flared, he felt the likely hood that it was an arrancar was high.
Kessin kept his reitsu emissions down to a minimum while he shunpo'ed to the building that the flares were coming from. "An abandoned factory...would be a great place but figures there would be residence here. Time to serve'em an eviction notice." Kessin walked into the front door and looked around him, feeling the two were on the highest floor as well as a third signature, but with alot less reitsu output. Looking up he pinpointed their locations and kept a mental note as he began to slowly walk up the metal stairway that led up to where they were. While he slowly ascended the stairs, he began to emit a low baritone laugh as well as scraping the thorn on his zanpakuto's chain against the metal handrail. The sounds were echoing in the building.
Once he got to the top of the stairs, he took a few steps onto the metal catwalk that lead to a few doors. The two rooms that had the occupants in then were at the end of this catwalk and adjacent to each other. He then stopped and waited for someone to emerge to see who was out there, the noise he made coupled with the minimum amount of reitsu that he was releasing would prove to be effective lures..they would likely think it was a lone, weakling of a shinigami coming to help a comrade that was trying to sneak up on the arrancar.

Abel was rather surprised that Karzan already released, my my he should've just taken it slow and use that as a trump card rather then use it right off the bat. he sighed before looking around and saw someone, though the reiatsu was much less than he expected so....not going to deal with it, and while it was possible that this new variable was setting a trap, meh didn't want to put effort into doing anything.
"meh this place is goin to get destroyed..might as well start walkin then, whoever you are, meh, you must have power, so I guess you don't need to be warned then." Abel spoke having got up and started to jump away not wanting to get in the way but to just watch, maybe get some popcorn or something and enjoy the moment

"Don't insult me by calling me a Shinigami. I'm a Visard. Let the Rains Reach Them Kiri Senshin Doragon!"
A small explosion, no where near the size of the Espada's began to encase Drake as his blade extended outwards 6 inches. His hilt was now easier to grip was it was now wrapped in a royal blue tape. He began stretchign and shifting his stance preparing for the upcoming battle. The Espada was still much stronger than him even after entering into his shikai, but he wouldn't wait long to get into his Bankai and even out the fight a little bit. He had two aces up his sleeve and would look for the perfect moment to use both. He awaited the Espada's first move knowing it would be difficult to dodge.
Reiatsu: 160
Attack: 195

Ignoring the presence of repressed reiatsu for now, Karzan fired a fang shaped Bala at the Visard, before using Sonido to get behind him and try to kick him in the back.
"It's my understanding that Visard are simply exiled Shinigami who have undergone Hollowfication," Karzan said straightening up, "I don't travel here often so you'll forgive my ignorance of your status as a Visard. However, now that I know what you are, my expectations will be slightly higher. How long do you think it will take before you need your mask? I'm dying to see it now."
Karzan smiled, something he rarely does, showing his abnormally sharp canine teeth. As his smile widened, his reiatsu began to flare, just enough to slow Drake down, but then it eased up, and eventually stopped applying pressure. Karzan didn't want this to be too easy.
((Just noticed, you don't have a Bankai type set in your profile. Can you get Fen or someone to check that. Your type will give you an extra boost. For example my release is Power/Battle so I get an +10 to all Stats on release and an extra +5 on attack and speed. Would be unfair if you didn't have that....actually I think you need to ask Hats cuz the thread says admin decides.))

"You shouldn't rush into things, you are ignorant of. Seeing my mask depends on you my good man. I am a Visard not an exiled Shinigami, if anything I'm a Shinigami who was betrayed."
He began to let his reiatsu flare, as he began powering up. He knew it would cause no harm towards the Espada, but it gave him confidence as the room began to shake with the combined reiatsus of him and the Espada. He wouldn't hesistate and be pounded by this Espada either, not after being mocked for his past. He refused. He held his sword towards Karzan and nodded his head.
"I'm Drake Bryant...and this is my Bankai..."
The sound of the thunder suddenly erupted in the sky as rain began pourning down on the once calm landscape. Drake's eyes began changing to an icy blue color as he grinned. His blade shrunk back to average size and began a metallic black color. Darker than the night sky. Two dragon claws formed on each of Drake's forearms as the trembling of the building continued. His once average sized jacket, grew into a large coat lined with fur and now a dark blue color, and as his transformation was finally completed, his mass also increased. He stretched a little and stood in a defensive stance awaiting the Espada's next move.
Reiatsu: 160+30+20=210
Attack: 195+30=225
Speed: 155 + 30= 185
Weapon Skill: 145+30=175

Abel had jumped away noting that Drake used his bankai....to try and match Karzan's release. oh how naive that was. sure they seemed to be matched by reiatsu but reiatsu isn't everything. He would contemplate going after the other one and did just that. jumping back and the word troublesome could be heard from Abel as he went back and would step in Zakura's way.
meh might as well entertain you while they have their fun. I ask that we just limit this to our skills, not releases. I'd rather get stronger to not rely on it. he asked while unsheathing his blade, just wanting to enjoy a spar and not destroy everything and alert someone or someones to their presence

"Finally!" Karzan shouted, "This is much better!"
Using Sonido, Karzan moved behind Drake, and bent down so that one of his hand was supporting him on the ground. Opening his mouth, he let out an eerie howl, while charging, and eventually firing a Cero. The howl would strike certain synapses in Drake's brain, causing his body to seize up.
"Acgrandar!" Karzan shout after firing the Cero, and jabbed forward with his hands, as his claws extended towards Drake, then began to slash at him wildly with his extended claws.
((Sorry. Somehow my computer signed me on to both accounts :S. Mind reposting your post and deleting the old one?))

Drake felt the Espada appear behind him and before he could properly turn around, his body froze and his back was left open to the cero was fired, actually pushing him forward towards a large window out into his storm, which was a blessing in disguise. He crashed into an adjacent warehouse and quickly recovered, though he was in alot of pain. He was now out in the open and had avoided any follow up unintentionally. He shunpo'd to the roof of the building and pointed his blade to the sky as he began to summon Kiri Senshin.
The skies parted and a large 40 foot blue dragon came thundering down from the heavens pearching right beside Drake on a taller heavier building that could support its weight. Kiri's eyes gleamed, as this was the first time he had actually been summoned into battle. Kiri didn't hesistate as it formed a ball of energy into its mouth ,seemingly similiar to one of Drake's attacks, and sent it flying towards the area, most likely decimating it.

((Ball of Energy? Doesn't mention anything like that in your profile.))
Jumping out the window, Karzan hit the ground just in time to see Drake summon the enormous dragon.
Karzan smiled, fangs flashing, and charged a Cero in his right hand. He fired the Cero at the blast that was coming down, and as they collided they canceled each other out. Using Sonido, Karzan jumped to the roof, and extended his claws to their fullest, and pounced at Drake. After a few slashes, he leaped back, and fired a flurry of 10 fang shaped Bala at Drake.
"My name is Karzan Zaraki," he said with a smile as he fired the last Bala, "I am Second in Command of the Arrancar, and leader of the Espada. I've never hunted a dragon before, but there is a first time for everthing."

Kessin felt the two combatants' power rising...the visard had released his bankai while the arrancar had released. "Ho hum! Such childish antics...They are going too attract attention. Perhaps I should finish the two off here and be done with it." He thought to himself. As he was about to take a step forward, the other arrancar appeared in front of him, blocking his way. "How annoying..." Is all he thought before the hollow spoke.
Zakura eyed the arrancar up with a skeptical look on his face, complete with an uplifted eyebrow. "You wish to face me? And without any releases? How amusing.. Very well then...but remember one thing...." Before Kessin finished his sentence, he stopped holding his power back, all of his sealed power released at once, flooding the building with his presence. Everyone in the building would know that this reitsu nearly matched everyone at their max...and he was still sealed. "...There are no pacts between lions and men." He gazed into the hollow's eyes with an evil gaze and a sinister smile.

OOC: I meant to say the attack mirrored my Ryuushi Heki attack, just similiar to Ichigo's zanpaktou being able to use Getsuuga, mine is just summoned and it is his attack, if you follow my logic.
As Karzan jumped to the roof, Drake lept off the building as Kiri was sent flying towards Karzan to intercept the blows coming from the Espada. It outstretched its claws, and sent them crashing towards the Espada. Drake nodded his head and shunpo'd above Karzan, directly above his head and aimed his blade down towards his tempral lobe.
"Ryuushi Heki!"
With perfect timing Drake sent a compacted beam of water, wind, and reiatsu towards Karzan which would land at the exact same time Kiri's claws would. One on one Karzan would man handle Drake, but with the battle now on two fronts, it would take more than just great power to defeat him. He shunpo'd backwards and Kiri Senshin also backed off with minors wounds to his wrists. They waited to see Karzan's response.
