A New Chapter In The Saga(OPEN)

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku walks in front of the manga shop, he wasn't using a gigai, he didn't think he needed to be seen by humans.
He felt a small wave of Reiatsu. He jumped into the air he spotted a few hollows on the roof of the shop, so he glided over, landed, and with one clean swing of his sword he sliced its mask in half.
He started to gaze into the horizon in a state of deep thought. Hm, it has been a while since I've even seen an Arrancar or Shinigami........ I wonder what they're up to?

[Sven Delacroix]

A cloaked figure had seemed to overhear the lone Vizard as he smiled to himself, his white cloak fluttering in the breeze behind him, his hood cast low over his face. His feet maneuvered silently, approaching the Shinigami hybrid. Placing his hands into the confines of his baggy cargo pants, he watched the boy dispose of the weaker of his kin. Even though he was about 25 meters away, he could still hear the boy and the metallic sound of his blade as it cleaved through Hollow after Hollow.

Clearing his throat, he used his reiatsu as an amplifier to carry his vocals. "Now why must you kill off such lovely pets? They were just a little hungry. Does that justify slaughtering them like cattle?" The effect worked rather well, as it would seem his voice was only a couple feet away, when in actuality he was much farther away, just maintaining a distance within his Sonido range.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku quickly turns around, he is able to see the Arrancar clearly, yet is surprised to see him at such a distance when he heard his voice right behind him. 'Who are you?' Jinsoku asked with an aggressive tone; 'Why do you care that I kill these lower than you? There insistence is so insignificant that it surprises me that you an Arrancar would show any concern for them.'

Jinsoku looks at the Arrancar and then assumes that he is a higher rank. 'You an Espada?'; He asks with curiosity in his voice as he tightens his his grip on his Zanpakuto.

[Sven Delacroix]

The man's features along the upper portions of his face remained shrouded, as his mouth could be seen forming into a rather eager smile, not even bothering to budge even the slightest, his voice seemed to permeate through to the Vizard. "If I said I did care, than I suppose that would make me a hypocrite, but what sweet memories they bring back.."

The Arrancar would then take a step forwards towards the Vizard before halting again. "I see no need to introduce myself to a Shinigami hybrid, although would it matter if I was an Espada? I think not." The man would then reach up and remove the hood from his head, a layer of long brown hair falling over his face. His silver eyes were the most distinguished among his features as they seemed to leer down upon the boy.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

'No need to!' Jinsoku had an outraged expression on his face, 'I will end you!'

Jinsoku charged at the Arrancar at the brink of reaching shunpo speed then he disappeared from sight, then he reappeared right below the Arrancar, he swung his sword repetitively at him as he charged upwards.

[Sven Delacroix]

Sven vanished into thin air as the Vizard's sword struck at the air, narrowly missing him. He would then reemerged ten meters away, his smile widening at the boy's effort.
"You usually get this riled up just by meeting a mere Arrancar?" Sven would pause briefly before continuing, "Have it your way, don't say I didn't warn you."

A simple wave of Sven's left hand sent several Bala rocketing towards Jinsoku. At the very least, he could have some fun with this one.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

'Bakudo#39. Enkosen!',Shouted Jinsoku. The spinning disk appeared in front of Jinsoku's hands,block all the bala, and then disappeared.
He then use shunpo and appeared right above the arrancar, 'Well, mere Arrancar. I'm Jinsoku Kuromeru, Ex-2nd Shinigami squad Lieutenant.' he said with slight anger in his voice. "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle, Hadō #63. Raikōhō!" Jinsoku releases a giant blast of power from his hand that crashes down on the Arrancar.

[Sven Delacroix]

Sven laughed as the Bala clashed into the Kido barrier. Perhaps the Vizard wasn't too inexperienced after all. But there still had noticeable flaws as Sven watched the Vizard appear above him, resorting to another chant. It was as though Sven was being underestimated, a tactic that consumed as much time as an incantation was hardly efficient for battle.
Kicking his feet backwards and casting aside his cloak, he Sonido'd backwards as the wave came roaring down upon the earth with a crash, incinerating the fluttering white cloak in an instance. In another instant, Sven appeared before the Vizard, his blade quickly unshethed to deliver a swift slash across Jinsoku's gut, as he stated rather nonchalantly, "Allow me to properly introduce myself. Sven Sutoikku, Cuarta Espada under the service of the Lord of The Deep."

As Sven's blade was withdrawn, he would Sonido a few more times, following up with five more subsequent slashes to various areas of Jinsoku's person,the back, both biceps, each knee, finishing off with another horizontal strike across the chest before sending his foot crashing into the Vizard's gut, in an attempt to send him crashing back down into the ground.
"As a future reference, don't use Kido to win your battles. They are hardly efficient as they take too much time and leave you wide open, Jinsoku. I have no intention of killing you, for you seem to possess raw talent that can be sculpted. Not only that, I wish to draw out your Inner Hollow to see the epitome of your abilities. You're the first Vizard I've faced, so don't disappoint me. And remember, Espada can fight on par to a Shinigami Captain..."

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku swings his zanpakuto five times to meet Svens strikes, then jumps back to dodge his foot. 'So you want to see my inner Hollow, eh?' He asked with a smile on his face. 'Well, no can do. I have no need to use an ability that I haven't mastered on someone who has no interest in killing me, yet... lets take this fight more seriously.' Jinsoku sheaths his sword, leaped forward, and uses his Enten Kobushi, making his hands move at the speed of shunpo to punch Sven's face and torso repetitively(Hundreds of times).

[Sven Delacroix]

The sudden flurry of limbs momentarily caught Sven off guard as a punch cracked him across the cheek, another landing just mere inches above his gut, a few more nailing him across various areas of his physique. Flaring up his reiatsu, Sven Sonido'd backwards as the subsequent attacks hit the air.
Sven reappeared as he spat out at the ground beneath him smiling. "You caught me by surprise with that tactic. Can't say I'm familiar with that one." Sven would then begin charging a Cero in his left hand as he vanished yet again. He reappeared behind Jinsoku as the Cero was released, engulfing the Vizard in its white light.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku grabbed Sven's left hand as the Cero was being released. The Cero scarred Jinsoku's hand deeply and there were burns all the way down his arm. His grip on Svens hand tightened, he closed his eyes and tried to relax for a second, 'That hurt arrancar, powerful Cero.' Jinsoku through a flat hand at Sven's stomach trying to break through his skin.

[Sven Delacroix]

Sven's face remained rather stoic, however his eyes seemed to indicate his astonishment. The Vizard had grabbed his hand, sacrificing his own body to get a guaranteed shot at Sven. It was a reckless gesture, but it seemed to have worked in the Vizard's favor.

As Sven tried to wriggle his wrist free, a sharp palm shot towards his abdominal region with impressive force. The force itself was enough to take the breath out of Sven as he gasped for oxygen. He was sure the technique itself was meant to pierce the skin, but he had escaped with a large bruise across his stomach. His skin was far from impenetrable, especially considering he lacked Hierro, so his strength would come into play here.

His breath quickly coming back to him, his platonic gaze leered into Jinsoku's own gaze, as he drew his face closer. The sword began to slide out of his hands, as Sven's fingers gripped the ribbons trailing from the blade. A minor rotation of the wrist began, slowly picking up in speed as the sharp edge spun like a whirlwind behind him. He was going to force the Vizard to rlease him whether he wanted to or not. The shrill whistle of the blade was heard as Sven pushed the Vizard forward, the swirling windmill of metal ready to carve into the arm of Jinsoku as Sven reiatsu flowed through the blade. Jinsoku had to make a choice, release Sven's arm or risk losing his own in the process.

[Nanako]

From near by Tsukasa watched the two fight. When the Vizard had first walked by the shop Tsukasa felt him, but before she could get outside to see what he was up to. He went after some hollow. Now he was in a fight with an arrancar. "I'm glade I kept my distance." She spoke quickly to herself. Keeping herself less noticeable as a fly she watch them go at it as best she could.

So much stuff is happening lately... I can't help, but think HE won't stick his hand into this.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku released his grip on Sven's arm and used shunpo to back up ten feet, then he drew his Zanpakuto and charged back at the arrancar, he swung his sword in an attempt to cut the ribbon that Sven was holding his Zanpakuto by, then he turned his blade and swung it across his torso again, then his left hand fell of his hilt with the right hand still holding tightly, his left hand went to Sven's throat grabbing it as tight as he could, 'Hado #63. Raikoho'. The kido exploded in his left hand sending lighting at Sven's throat.

[Sven Delacroix]

Quickly spinning his blade in front of him, Sven easily parried the shot by the Vizard's off to the side, laughing to himself at Jinsoku's feeble attempt to cut the ribbons trailing across his blade before the blade whistled yet again as it deflected the gut shot.
"It's not as though you could cut them anyway. As it stands, the ribbons are made from the same reiatsu that forms the blade itself. Surely you understand the concept of a Shinigami's zanpaktou, you must possess greater spiritual pressure to even begin to dent a spiritual weapon such as this."

As Sven continued to speak, Jinsoku's fingers went straight for his throat. Sven smiled yet again as he grabbed the wrist of the Vizard with his left hand, exerting pressure upon the Vizard's wrist as he twisted Jinsoku's hand off to the side,as the burst of lightning misfired inches next to his face, causing naught but a slight heat to singe the ends of his flowing brown hair. Sven's blade in his right hand ceased its wild spinning, as the hilt flew back into its owner's beckoning right hand, a swift upward slash of Sven's zanpaktou dealt to the now exposed side of Jinsoku.

Sven had begun to enjoy this fight, the Vizard was skilled, although a bit reckless. Eventually Sven would release just to show the Vizard he had not the faintest of chance to defeat an Espada. As Sven pondered around with these thoughts, he remained oblivious to the bystander watching them from a distance.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku tried to pull away from Sven, yet he still got hit across his chest letting a steady flow of blood come out and his chin barely got hit leaving a small scratch, he then jumped back ten meter. Jinsoku was furious, all of his attacks seemed to just bounce off of Sven, he couldn't let this happen any more, he was going to show the arrancar his true strength.
"Bakudo #61. Rikujokoro." Six light beams circle around the arrancar trapping him before he has time to realize what was going on. "Sting Kuromamba!" Jinsoku's Zanpakuto turned into a Poisoned Sickle. He jumped forward, swung his Shikai fifteen times at Sven in various areas before he leaped back waiting for the Espada to break free of his kido. 'Prepare for pain like you've never been scratched before, Espada!' Jinsoku was going to release his Bankai when the arrancar released his resurrection.

[Sven Delacroix]

The beams of light held Sven in place, as the Vizard activated his Shikai, wasting little time in going straight on the assault. In a few seconds, Sven squirmed his way out of the Kido, Sonido'ing back several meters before analyzing all the bleeding cuts across his arms and torso region, each one possessing a slight discoloration. Sven's eyes would then look up towards the Vizard, smiling once again. "So to poison your adversary is your strategy?" His gaze quickly darted over the Vizard as Pesquisa measured up his opponent's newfound strength.

Jinsoku was closer overall to him now as far as power was concerned, but Sven still had the upperhand. He will play a little longer with the Visard before releasing his blade to demonstrate the true power of an Espada.

Sven's feet lightly touched pavement under him as he shook his head. He didn't want to destroy the area, but it was a necessary loss to further his goal. The zanpaktou of Sven came crashing down as a massive fissure of energy split the earth in half as it rocketed towards the Visard. Even should the Visard avoid the main assault, the amount of rubble in the air made for difficult maneuvering.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

Jinsoku leaped to the side, dodging the main blow yet he was still buried by the rocks that flew from the attack. He stood up and the rock fell off of him, he was bruised and bleeding all over his body yet he seemed to take no notice.
Jinsoku used shunpo over to Sven, he swung his Shikai back and forth twenty times, then leap into the air and hovers.

[Sven Delacroix]

Sven threw himself forward as his blade parried Jinsoku's blows with a shrill whistle of excitement as Sven smiled in response to his blade's ecstasy. The zanpaktou of a Arrancar was the embodiment of the Hollow form they previously held, so it only would make sense that his Hollow self was trying to reemerge. The unorthodox and rough patterns of Jinsoku's strokes still proved the Visard needed more practice with his weapon, as it left too many openings to be exploited. Still, it meant Sven needn't be so precise with his own blows, for the Visard also possessed unusual endurance for a former Lieutenant.

As the Visard jumped upward, Sven would point his blade towards the spot where Jinsoku was hovering. With his smile fading slightly, he would mutter, "Soon, very soon...."After that, the unmistakable word"Cero" exited his lips, another silver blast quickly exiting from the tip of his blade.

[Jinsoku Korumeru]

As the Cero came towards Jinsoku, he flared up his Reiatsu, put both hands on the hilt of his Shikai, hit the Cero head on, and smoke and dust was thrown up keeping him hidden from Sven. 'When I was Exiled from the Shinigami, I promised that I would defeat every Arrancar that I came across to prove myself worthy to the Shinigami'.........."Bankai!" The Smoke and dust was pushed away by his Reiatsu revealing his Bankai, a Black Scythe in right hand, he had a few more burns from the Cero, and his right arm was covered in black. 'I'm keeping that promise!' Jinsoku charged down at Sven, the level of his poison raised to acidic as it radiated from his blade. He swung down-ward at Sven, destroying the earth around him.
