The particle blast took Karzan by surprise, and slammed into his back, shattering part of the armored skin between his arms, and rending some of the flesh off his back. He growled as the sting of the wound became apparent, and looked down just in time to see Drake throwing another strange lance. Using Sonido, Karzan moved backwards and down, then leaped at Drake, and made to try and grab his arms and start a wrestling match.

Shit... Was all Drake thought as the Espada pounced on him and grabbed his arms. He cursed and could feel the claws of Karzan sinking into his triceps as the two began a plunge after the momentum of Karzan's leap. Drake grunted and attempted a knee to Karzan's stomach hopefully knocking his wind out or taking the pressure off his grip.

Karzan grunted as Drake kneed him in the gut, but didn't release his grip immediately. After a few more seconds of falling, Karzan released the grip of his left hand, and stabbed his claws into the wall beside which they were falling. He growled as the weight of Drake nearly pulled his right arm out of it's socket. He growled again, and brought his right arm up and forward to slam Drake through the wall.
"This fight needs to move inside," he whispered in Drake's ear as the Visard moved past him.

Drake slammed through the wall and rolled on the cold floor on what appeared to be another office building. He wiped the dust off his shoulders and gripped his blade tighter and began twirling catching his breath a little bit. He got into his defensive stance and waited for Karzan's first move. He could tell that in closed quarters inside he lost the advantage of the weather and Kiri Senshin, he would make due though.
"Well I guess Act 2 begins now. Bring it Espada."

"I do have a name Drake," Karzan said as he swung into the room, "and I prefer to be called by it."
Karzan dashed forward, clearing the last bit of distance with a Sonido, and brought his right hand up as if to stab forward with it, but instead ducked low and tried to kick Drake's feet out from under him. He would then curl his hand into a fist, and try to punch Drake in the stomach as repayment for the knee.

"Then speak it then!/color]
Drake observed the flow of Karzan's movements and timed a perfect jump over his feet, the altering of using his fist for his feet gave Drake enough time to react, he saw the punch coming and raised his forearm up and let Karzan's fist crash against the steel as Drake was driven back by his raw power. With quick moments, Drake lashed his arm out hopefully throwing off Karzan's arm and sent his blade towards Karzan's chest.

((I already had Karzan say his name in post 17 dude  )) Karzan reeled as Drake shoved off his blow, but recovered in time to swat away Drake's blade with his right hand. As the blade moved from his parry, he shot his left hand out, to grab Drake's sword arm, then tried to punch him in the stomach once more. |

OOC: Mesa bad.
Drake cursed as he felt a tight grip on his sword arm, but that pain was soon replaced with a deeper one as Drake felt the impact of the punch deep into his gut. He grunted loudly, but quickly wrapped his arm around the arm Karzan used to punch him. Both of their arms were now trapped or occupied, but Drake had a trick. He shifted his wrist somewhat and aimed his blade closely to Karzan's heel, but mostly at the floor.
"Ryuushi Heki.."
The blast was sent downwards and would most likely cause serious damage to Karzan's foot, but most importantly the floor they were standing on would crumble, and Drake adjusted in the air as he landed on the next floor below. He waited to see Karzan and continue the battle.

Karzan swore loudly as the ground gave way. His foot was undamaged thanks to his armored skin, and he grabbed the edge of the floor as he fell. When the dust began to settle he looked down to see Drake standing on the floor below, and smiled.
Swinging to gain momentum, Karzan launched himself at Drake, and aimed to stab his claws into the Visard's right shoulder.

Drake nodded his head as he eyed Karzan hanging from the ledge, he had ample time to defend himself as the Espada aimed towards him, as he swung towards him Drake waited until the absolute perfect time as he kept his blade ready and eyes locked on Karzan. Then out of nowhere with an orb of wind in his hand and he pushed it towards the flying Espada.
"Touketsu Kaze!"
He wondered if he could dodge that even with a sonido as the gap between the two combatants was very small now.

((Confused: Isn't Touketsu Kaze a spin slash the makes a gust of wind and shoots icicles, not a sphere of wind? The following post will be under that assumption.))
Karzan crossed his arms over his face and chest, then slashed outward extending his claws as he slashed. He slashed a good percentage of the ice shards, but 3 of them left a series of cuts, one on his right cheek, one just below his ribs on the left side, and one leaving a thin scratch on his armored shoulder.
Hitting the ground now, Karzan crouched low to the ground, then launched himself at Drake, spinning in mid air, firing the tips of his claws at the Visard.

OOC:Sorry I used the wrong name for the attack, I meant Kaze Bure-Ka attack, but I'll continue with your post I apologize, just was getting a little sleepy.
Drake took a quick hop backwards and deflected each of the incoming attacks from Karzan. He formed a lance of water and reiatsu in his hands and launched it towards the Espada, but quickly shunpo'd and appeared mid-air diagonal to Karzan's temple. He formed another lance and sent it nearly point-blank using the other lance as a diversion.

Karzan scattered the first lance by slashing at it, then turned while continuing to move forward, and watch as the second flew by him. Howling loudly, Karzan jumped at Drake and slashed at him while he was paralyzed, before jumping back and firing a fang shaped Bala at him.

Almost instinctively after the second lance missed, Drake put his arms before he was paralyzed and his claws took the brunt of the damage, when the paralysis wore off, his eyes widened as he was hit with a bala and sent flying backwards crashing through a support pillar and out the window inside another building. He coughed as he stood up and shook off the dust. Close quarter combats was proving more difficult than he expected, and he felt his hollow reiatsu begin mixing in with his own. He was still young and this was the longest he had used his bankai and received so much damage. He contained it again, hoping Karzan couldn't have felt the dark pressence. He stood in a defensive stance and waited for the Espada to make its next move.

((Fang Bala cut instead of doing just impact damage))
Karzan smiled, as he felt a slight change in the atmosphere. Drake was almost at his limit, and once he was, he'd reveal his mask.
Still smiling, Karzan dashed after Drake, and fired 5 normal Bala in quick succession. As he neared his target, he extended his claws, and jumped twirling in the air, and firing the tips of his claws at the Visard, aiming to try and pin him to the ground or wall. Then as he cleared the last bit of distance, he would leap towards Drake, and try to stab him in each shoulder, with his regenerated claws.

Drake grunted as the blood from his wounds began flowing, he grinned though as he was enjoying himself. He twirled his blade as he fired 5 Ryuushi Hekis to block and match the Bala coming towards him. With quick movements he either deflected the claws with his claws on his forearms or his blade as only a couple of the claws actually scratched him. As Karzan attempted his final jump Drake did not move, but waited as he closed the distance and then Drake formed another lance in his hand and jabbed it towards Karzan's stomach, which would explode on impact and possibly end the battle.

Karzan was knocked back by the spear as it exploded. He lay on the ground for a moment, before getting up slowly to glare at Drake with murder in his eyes. His stomach was bleeding and burned from the explosion, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from getting the last word in.
Charging a Cero in each hand, Karzan howled loudly, then launched himself forward while Drake was paralyzed. He would jump and twist his body in the air, as he tried to kick Drake in the stomach with both feet, and would then push off him to put some extra force into the kick. As he landed, he would aim the palms of his hand to either side of Drake, aligning it so that half of each blast would hit his arms if he didn't move, and so that a full blast would hit him if he dodged to the side. As the blasts began to travel he would collapse, gripping his stomach in pain, and coughing up blood.

Drake nodded his head and grinned guessing that Karzan wanted to take the battle to the next level. He stood in a defensive stance until he was paralyzed by the howl. Drake took the kicks with a grunt as the paralysis wore off and Karzan backed off. Drake looked at him and the ceroes he already had charged in his hands and charged two wind orbs in his hands and looked towards Karzan, As the ceroes were fired he slammed the orbs on the ground and 6 gusts of sharp cutting wind were sent towards Karzan and his ceros, 2 gusts of winds were sent towards the ceros which would take off some of the impact of the ceros, as Drake quickly formed two more lances to further take off the damage as he quickly tossed them towards the ceros. The explosion sent Drake back even more feet was he was taking more and more damage. He stood up dripping with blood and coughing as he waited to see if any gust of wind hit Karzan.
"Kaze Bure-Ka.."

Karzan's eyes widened as he saw the strange blasts of wind. Grinding his teeth at the pain, he rolled quickly to his right, dodging one, then kicked himself to his feet, only to get hit by the second, which cut deeply into his left arm. Growling loudly, Karzan leaned against the nearest wall and looked over at Drake as his vision flickered.
"I think we've done enough," Karzan said coughing up more blood, "I get the feeling Lord Anubis would be mad if I killed a subordinate of his friend."

"Heh, I guess you may have a point, and I'm guessing you had a few more tricks up your sleeve. I hope so or else I don't think you would've killed me Karzan. It was nice meeting you Karzan, hopefully next time we can both go all out, even more so than we did today."
Drake's bankai features suddenly disappeared and Kiri Senshin let out a loud roar before disappearing, the tornadoes almost vanished, and the raining ceased as a ray of sunshine began glowing down on the wrecked Industrial district. Drake shunpo'd away heading to his home to tend to his wounds and analyze the battle in his head further.
