Making waves (NDE) Raygin vs Kyosei

”Oh oh oh! Oh yeah you aint gonna get away from me!” Raygin laughed as he sat in the fields he commonly trained at. In his hands was a small gaming device, to be technical it was a 3ds. Raygin had acquired one after doing a few favors for Squad 12 and quite a bit of paperwork for them. Well, it had paid off. Raygin finally had his way of playing some video games when he wasn’t busy. Wasn’t a Xbox or a Playstation 3, but it worked. Ray was playing the 3ds version of Monster Hunter Tri, and was currently hunting the Qurupeco. The Qurupeco, a creature that could give Ray a lesson in true trolling. The creature was infamous for its ability to summon other Boss monsters to assist it in battle. It was also capable of decreasing the player characters resistance to fire through its mucus attack, then to add insult to injury it had the ability to perform a “Fire Clap” attack.

Now, why was Raygin out here playing? Simple, he was waiting. He had been issued a challenge by a new Vice Captain named Kyousei something. Honestly, Ray didn’t remember his last name. Raygin had replied to his challengers Hell Butterfly with his own, telling Kyousei where to meet him along with when. Raygin had gotten there first, so he had some time to continue his Monster Hunting as he waited. ”No no no! No! Bad Great Jaggi nobody loves you go away!” Raygin suddenly shouted. He had run out of Sonic Bombs, and had been unable to stop the Qurupeco from calling in that annoying Great Jaggi. Now the new enemy was calling in its harem of smaller Jaggis to swarm Raygin.

Raygin let out a groan as he watched his character get eaten by the monsters. Raygin let out a sigh as he shut the thing off and slid it into his robes. Raygin let out a groan and rested his chin on his hand. He then felt a presence enter his field of sensory. Ray looked up at the person and waved. ”Hey there, nice to meet ya” the Vice Captain jumped to his feet and chuckled.

Raygin couldn’t help but smile as Kyosei gave his name. ”Nice to meet ya, you already know my name I take it.” Raygin said as he placed his hand on his Zanpakuto. ”My name is Raygin Sakubara, if you hadn’t remembered it. I am the Vice Captain of Squad 3. And you are the Vice Captain of Squad 5. Kinda ironic, that I am fighting the lieutenant since I beat the new captain…well before he was the captain.” Raygin said. He was over talking again, but he was trying to be friendly. Sure, they may be about to fight but a little small talk never really hurt.

As Kyosei turned his back to Ray the hyper lieutenant frowned. Kyosei just made a big mistake. Raygin quickly drew his Zanpakuto and used a Shunpo. He re-appeared directly behind Kyosei and placed his Zanpakuto into his back. ”Listen to me Kyosei, don’t turn your back on your enemy. If you had been fighting someone who wasn’t as friendly as I, you would have lost right here. Please, do better in the future. We don’t need to lose any good soldiers, so please remember to be careful.” Raygin said. The Vice Captain removed his sword from Kyoseis back and took a few steps back. He stopped when he was ten feet away from Kyosei.

Raygin took a breath and said ”Good luck Lieutenant Kyosei.” Raygin said kindly before rushing Kyosei. He seemed to be doing a headlong assault, but as he neared Kyosei he suddenly vanished again. Since Kyosei had no ability to sense Reiatsu what so ever, he would not be able to tell whether Raygin used a Shunpo or he was just that fast. He soundlessly appeared behind Kyosei and pointed his finger at the Shinigamis back. As soon as he exited the Shunpo he mentally charged a Byakurai and fired it at his right shoulder. He was not aiming at any of Kyoseis lungs, but rather just the empty space in the shoulder.

At point blank range and high reiatsu strength, along with being very skilled in Kido, Raygins Byakurai would be near pointblank. It would take a miracle for Kyosei to be able to dodge the attack. He could not sense reiatsu, so he would not be able to detect Raygin from behind him nor would he sense the Byakurai. Though it was a mental cast, the spell was still strong. Raygin had mastered Byakurai. Whether or not his spell connected Raygin followed up his attack with a swing from his Zanpakuto. He had swung at Kyoseis back, planning on leaving a bloody wound on his back. If the attack connected it would at least cut into Kyoseis spine.

-100 for Shunpo x2

Raygin couldn't help but frown a bit when Kyousei took the Byakurai. But, that little attack also shed some light on one of Kyouseis weaknesses. For a fellow Vice Captain to be hit by an attack like that, he must not have been capable of actually sensing energy. If that was the case then Raygin instantly had an advantage over this man. With Kyousei being spiritually blind, Raygin could use Shunpo to get anywhere he wanted and Kyousei would not be able to tell where he went. Plus, Raygin could actually be charging a Kido in secret and again his enemy would not even know.

Raygin could feel the Kido being focused into Kyouseis fingers even before he said the name of the spell. Since it was a technique Ray himself used quite often, its feel would be like second nature to him. So, when Kyousei said his spell Ray couldn't help but smile. The Byakurai had enough distance from him that Raygin actually just side stepped it. Being able to tell it was coming, its trajectory, and having good knowledge about the attack allowed him to predict its path. But it seemed Kyousei wasn't done yet. He had used his own Shunpo to get behind Raygin and begin preparing another Kido. This one was one Ray didn not use, but he could tell it was coming. Even if Kyousei whispered it, Ray could tell it was coming. So Raygin turned and extended his hand in Kyousei's direction. He focused his Kido into his hand as a light began to form in the space ahead of his hand.

"Enkosen!" Raygin said. A blue shield made of reiatsu appeared from the small light. Kyouseis kido slammed into it, but the shield held it back. Raygins kido was a higher level Kido than Kyousei's, so defending against a low level Hado like that was childs play. Raygin looked right at Kyousei and couldn't help but smile. "You know what this reminds me of? Goku and Frieza. See, Freiza loved firing lasers but one of his weaknesses is one of yours. You both can't sense energy. You and I are about equal in power, but you must be new to being a Vice Captain. Since you are at my level you should have been capable of dodging my attack easily. But you didn't. You didn't even know I was behind you or that I used a Kido. Thats why you have a bleeding hole and I am untouched." Raygins words were true, and would have an effect on Kyousei. Raygin was comparing Kyousei to a androgynous alien, bringing up his weakness, and scolding a equal. Raygins words would annoy Kyousei, cause him to get flustered unless he had a Calm Mind.

"And just like Frieza, you are going to be taken down." Raygin told him as a bright amount of light surrounded Raygin. He was going to take it up a notch, show Kyousei what he was capable off. Now, Raygin was displaying a large amount of power. This display would cause a gravity effect on anyone weaker than him but since Kyousei was equal in Class he would not feel it. All he would experience was a light show since he could not sense the power. Raygin held his Zanpakuto out at his side. "I really hope you were trained to dodge by someone other than your Captain." Raygin mocked. Kyousei would now be feeling a wave of emotion from Raygin. It was the desire to fight, to win. The Vice Captain released his Zanpakuto and spoke the release phrase. "Rip through the wind and cut the skies. Howl, Zeroshiki!"

The activation of Shikai released a blast of wind and power. The Zanpakuto began to mutate into something completely new. It held no resemblance to its original form. The hilt had begun a circle while the blade became three undulant blades. Each of the blades sported a hook that was in fact a grip. The weapon was releasing a god awful amount of light and spun at high velocity. It released a high pitched "vreeeeeeeeeeeen" sound as it spun. Wind and loose gravel, as well as dust, accumulated and was pushed away from Raygin. With a flick of his hand he clutched his Shikai by its central ring. A burst of reiatsu left his body like a aura before turning into snake like appendages and entering his weapon. Kyousei would be able to feel the reiatsu inside of Zeroshiki, unfortunate for him.

Raygin kicked off the ground with a Shunpo. Without any ability to sense energy, Kyousei would not be able to tell Raygin had appeared to the left behind him, right in a blind spot. With a quick and full powered flick of his arm Raygin released Zeroshiki with all his might right at his opponent. Even at 20% power, the weapon would have a base power of 200. That was more than enough to destroy the weaker Vice Captain's body. It would have shattered many bones and most likely left him in critical condition. But like the honeybadge, Zeroshiki didn't give a shit. It tripled that power to 600. This was 100% sure to end the fight in a single strike. If Zeroshiki struck any part of Kyousei, it was sure to destroy whatever was there. With no ability to sense energy, how would Kyousei make it out of this?

Zeroshiki power: 200 (600)

Raygin raised his hand as Kyousei used a Shunpo to vanish. He could not help but smile at that. ”Looks like your squad isn’t as bad as the Captain.” Raygin couldn’t help but say. Zeroshiki curved in the air and returned back to Raygin. Instead of using telekinesis Ray had just used Zeroshikis boomerang properties to just return to him to throw Kyousei off. The man would not know his weapon could be controlled in the air, so Kyousei would assume it was nothing more than a huge boomerang. Even with a high instinct Kyousei could not know anything about Zeroshikis abilities. All he would know was that it was a throwing weapon. Raygin caught Zeroshiki with his right hand and rested the weapon on his shoulder to decrease arm fatigue.

Ray narrowed his eyes when Kyousei began to say his release phrase. He smiled a bit more, yousei was doing what Ray wanted. The Vice Captain wanted him to release to begin a real fight between Shinigami. He then narrowed his eyes as he felt an impressive amount of energy coming from Kyousei. It was almost like a wave of energy was heading right for Ray which threatened to sweep him away. But Ray held his ground, unnerved and not frightened. Kyousei might have a good amount of power, but it was equal to Raygins and nothing compared to what he had felt before. Ray had faced others who could poop out more power than this.

The man looked at Kyouseis release and then heard what he said. You gotta be kidding me. Did he really…just say that?[/color] Raygin really could not believe what he had just heard. Kyousei just told him what his Zanpakuto did, to a degree. He had spilt the beans that his Zanpakuto revolved around Kido. Ray just shook his head as reiatsu leaked from his body and was eaten by Zeroshiki. With the new power increase Raygin now had more than enough power to defeat Kyousei with either technique.

So, Ray turned his back to Kyousei and suddenly vanished with a step of Shunpo. Without a sound Raygin was behind Kyousei and his arm was already in motion. Zeroshiki was released from his hand and straight for Kyouseis back. As soon as the weapon left his hand it began to glow as well as grow. Blue light left Zeroshiki as blades of reiatsu stretched it. Nagaikiba, Zeroshikis signature technique, changed the weapons power from Strength to Reiatsu Strength. Zeroshiki would also instantly grow an additional two meters, making Raygin have to use a Shunpo right after he threw Zeroshiki. At point blank range, along with growing blades, Kyousei would have to have near Spider senses to dodge this attack. He lacked the ability to sense Energy, so he could not know Ray was behind him nor his weapon had basically turned into a Destructo Disc that was going to bisect him.
