Rio vs Miho [PG-13, NDE]

[Deleted]

This is a battle between Miho Shoga, the Segunda's Fraccion and Rio Demonliogalgo, the Sexta Espada.

Fight is NDE and there are no special terms, handicaps or conditions for this fight.

This fight takes place in the middle of the White Desert of Hueco Mundo.

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Rio walked his way out to the desert sands. His violet eyes seemed dull in the light, and his mouth was set in a straight, hard line. Bored. As usual. He only came out here because it'd kill some time. Normally he wouldn't have cared for wasting his time with some Fraccion that wasn't even his. Still, if a Fraccion was lookin' for a whuppin' he may as well oblige them the privilege. He stood in the sands, and gazed around. His ability at sensing reiatsu was abysmal for an Espada of his rank, but it wasn't as though he cared. His other senses usually made up for it. Usually. Perhaps the Fraccion was late though. ...Well that just pissed him off.

Rio looked around irritably for the Fraccion.... what was her name? Miho or something like that...? Ugh. He'd have to talk to Kuroi about his Fraccion learning to be on time for something THEY arranged. Finally he heard a sound though, picking up the sound of footfalls in the sand. He spun towards the sound with the bored expression still on his face. However, the smallest hint of amusement could be seen in them now. "Finally. What took you, kid?" He asked.

If this Sexta thought this was going to be a fucking walk in the park, then he had another thing coming. She already had the Cuarta running for his damn money and everything else below ,save for Adalo, was as good as shit. Though...she had yet to see what this 'Sexta' was all about. Tch. Probably wasn't that great. He was Sexta. But as usual, that 6 was just a shitty tattoo...just like the rest of them. None of these people were really at their proper ranks. Despite their ranks, most of them weren't even strong enough to hold their own rank. She really did want to fight uh...wazzhizname? It ended with an "io" sound. Ah, she'll figure it out on her own later. If he really was that important, she'd know his name. Ugh...Disrepectful much?! Well, she hardly did show respect for anyone...unless she truly felt they deserved it. But how often did that happen?

Screw that monkey suit. She was going out in her normal attire. As for being on time...heh. Sucks for you. She gets there when she gets there. Hands were pocketed in her black hoodie as she walked and she'd eventually make her way over to him. She vaguely wondered if he was stronger than the Cuarta. He was cocky. If it weren't for the ranking mixups, she wouldn't have entertained the thought. "Finally. What took you, kid?" She smirked. "Hn. What's the matter, princess? You in a hurry to lose?" she retorted as she took her saw out from the holster on her back. She was taunting him; her usual ritual before she fought. She positioned herself in a defensive stance. "C'mon Sexta...Show me just how much a disappointment you really are." she grinned.

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Rio grew a grin at the smart mouth of the girl in front of her. "At least your tongue is sharp, brat." He stated confidentally. He casually pulled out one of his two Sai from their holster, holding it lazily in his hand. He seemed to have no desire to attack at the moment, despite her taunt. "Aren't you the challenger?" Rio replied simply, as though bored with her banter. "I got no time to be wasting with trash, so if you're really what you think you are, then hurry up and attack."

He raised his Sai up just a little, so that the point was aimed at Miho's heart. He hadn't flared up his reiatsu, seeing yet or anything. He didn't feel the need to. Afterall, she was just a Fraccion and a brat compared to him. The Segunda's fraccion-- granted. But while Rio doubted the Segunda would have picked a weak Fraccion, given his personality, he also doubted that this girl would be able to cross blades with him equally. He gave a savage grin, as the tension in the air began to thicken.

Scarlet eyes merely looked at Rio with cynical amusement. Brat. Kid. That said it all; this guy was as old as dirt. Huh. If an old guy lost to her, it would just look extremely bad on his part. If she lost to him, it would look extremely bad on HER part. Kuroi said she was quinta worthy and if the quinta lost to the sexta, then there was a serious problem. There was alot at stake in terms of pride..Or rather, there was to Miho. He was a tough cookie emotionally it seems. Normally, big tough guys like this one would get ticked at the whole 'princess' thing. She'd seriously have to find what made him tick, otherwise she was in trouble.

She was in a defensive stance...but she saw that pathetic raise of his blade she raised her eyebrow and dropped her stance, returning to a normal, relaxed one. She took a single step forward, her eyes on that blade and then on Rio. Tch. Like she was going to attack when he expected it. "Huh. Then make time, idiot. 'Cause you just might never leave...Alive that is.." she hissed. Miho quickly side stepped away from his Sai and aimed slice his head off...sort of. Mid-swing, she twisted her wrist and angled the massive saw blade downwards so that it stabbed into his hip. She feigned an attack and she was swift. More than twice his speed. He couldn't possibly keep up with her like this. It would be a nasty stab wound that might hamper his movement. You see, Miho wasn't that kind of person; the kind that killed opponents in an instant. No. If she wanted to fight you, she wanted to make you beg for mercy until your very last breath. Miho loved battle and the rawness of it all. She'll drag it on for as long as she has to.

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Rio watched Miho's movement and saw the flicker of her strike. Had he been a lesser skilled opponent, her strike would have found its mark. But unfortunately for her, Rio WAS an old man. He'd lived for more than four thousand years, and had been fighting for all of that. To think he had not had to deal with opponents faster than him in that time would be absurd. Miho was most certainly faster than him, but she was still a greenhorn. A rookie, compared to him.

Rio didn't bother to react to her first strike. Not immediately, that is. No. He had something better planned. Her strike almost went as planned. Almost. Miho managed to get past the Sai, and her feint was executed perfectly. It was her real strike that would not work. As her blade arced down, Rio unleashed an unfocused shockwave from his body. A light one however, not aimed at blocking Miho's strike, so much as deflecting it. As a result, the shockwave would strike the side of Miho's blade, parrying it aside, and causing her to miss her target-- a potentially confusing prospect to her and one Rio planned to take advantage of.

Whilst Miho was mid-strike, Rio counterattacked, swinging his arm back at Miho's face. He intended to clock her with the butt of his Sai, which had a hard steel pommel, and would likely cause some serious damage when coupled with Rio's formidable strength. Oh, Miho may have been faster than Rio, but when the Espada did land a blow it would be a big one. When fighting Rio Demoniogalgo, there was no such thing as taking a "light" blow. "What's wrong, Fraccion? What the fuck do you think you're aiming at!?" Rio taunted, as though he didn't know the cause of Miho missing with her attack.

[Deleted]

As she plunged her saw towards his hip, she'd felt something. It was familiar too. Nijuu had a shockwave kind of thing going on. He used vibrations and shockwaves. This was similar. Could Rio use them too? Damn. She needed to get out of his range then! Miho threw her saw down and slid one foot back and held out one palm to charge a cero. She was going to dodge...Well, not with out a little special something of course. She'd bend backwards, back arched and her head out of the way from his incoming Sai. "What's wrong, Fraccion? What the fuck do you think you're aiming at!?" Well, well, well...he had bark too. At least he wasn't a whimp like that Noveno and Cuarta. But was it an act? An act like the Cuarta? That would be disappointing. Regardless, Miho grinned at his comment.

Miho was much faster than Rio. Much much faster. Her thoughts processed faster and she could react faster as well. Dodging it shouldn't have been a problem and he was probably too caught up in the moment of so he should be wide open for that cero. "Too slow." she said before firing a Cero. That should put some distance between the two. Pft. Greenhorn...Age didn't hold a candle to her in terms of fighting. Miho Shoga was formidable and if he didn't realize that soon, he was going to get his ass handed to him.

When the Cero finished, Miho picked up her saw and used Sonido to get behind Rio. Fair warning: Miho was aggressive and she loved to play dirty...especially in a fight. Everything goes! With that being said, Miho grabbed his head and slammed the butt of her hilt on the side of his head. She was mocking his last move. Unlike having a nice steel pommel, Miho had a skull at the butt...so that might hurt too. "What's the matter, Es-pa-da? Are you sure you should be fucking up against a small girl like me?" she chuckled lightly. Your turn, Sexta.

Miho's attack was quick, but she overlooked one small problem. Even highly adept Cero users required a few moments to charge their attack. Rio saw the glow of the Cero in Miho's hand far ahead of time, and smirked. "You gotta be kidding me." He commented, and sidestepped, the Cero blasting past him. He didn't retaliate yet though. Everything about her fighting style implied to Rio that she was going to bring the battle to him. An attack with her weapon had been her first blow, and in all his years of combat, Rio had learned that a lot of the time someone's first attack could tell you a lot about them. In this case, it meant that Miho preferred melee combat.

As she vanished in a Sonido, Rio's mind went into tactical. She was faster than him. Considerably so. Mindlessly lashing out wouldn't work very well. No. Rio would have to predict her movements, using his experience to do so. He might have to learn about her fighting style as they fought, but he would figure her out. All he needed was one hit to put her down. Of that he was certain. Rio had been alive for some time, but there were precious few who could stand up after he landed a blow on them.

Her speed and tactics earlier implied she wouldn't use a head on attack. No. And she was taking him lightly. Trying to humiliate him. She'd gone for a blow to the side before. This time she had the advantage of Rio not being able to follow her with his eyes. But his instincts, honed by centuries of battle never failed him! Rio whirled, sensing the attack from behind, lifting up his Sai. He had been right this time. He blocked her blow at the wrist, slamming his Sai upwards, potentially causing some damage to her wrist, but more importantly, causing Miho's blow to soar clear above his head. His next blow wouldn't be as fun. Rio twisted the Sai sideways to trap Miho's wrist and then spun the weapon downwards to smash Miho to the ground by her wrist. Not giving Miho time to rest, Rio's foot snapped out, intending to slam a kick into Miho's ribs while she was on the ground, and finished with a focused shockwave, launched from a quick palm thrust. But not at Miho. At the space right beside her, as Rio expected she'd try to roll back up to her feet. And the only way to roll way away from him. Thus, he was expecting her to roll right into the blast.

[Deleted]

Tch. He sidestepped. Anyone could do that. The old man really was slow though. Well, not that he looked like it, she could just tell he was old by the way he talked to her. Had it not been for that, she would have guessed that he was as old as Kuroi. This one was kinda good-looking acutally..,er.. Tch.. She wouldn't be caught dead paying anyone a compliment...Ahem. Anyway, her advantage was speed. Cero was clearly the wrong choice here. So she needed something fast, something that was almost impossible to sense coming at a point blank range.

He was probably a seasoned fighter or something. He didn't retaliate or flinch like others would have at her cero. That was what they all did. Not only that, but old = experience. He knew what he was doing. He caught her from behind. Usually, those kind of fighters like to keep their opponents down while they delivered a devastating blow. They let the fight come to them and then retaliate. Tch. Whatever. As long as he was fighting her back she could care less. He blocked her blow and slammed his weapon upwards. Right now, this guy was like Nijuu #2. It would seem that he had the same strength and capabilities so it was probably best to go off of her knowledge of her comrade so she could deal with Rio properly. Yeah yeah yeah, she can't use her weapon now...but unlike him he had a free hand. She also had endurance. A little pinch on her wrist wasn't going to kill her and a sick as it sounded it was pain like that that made her retaliate with a terrifying vengeance. Miho still had her free hand which she kept down, but she angled her palm in a way so that it faced Rio. If he was anything like she thought he was, he was going to keep her there strike one of the cliched spots. Either heart, head or stomach. She absolutely couldn't risk that.

Miho quickly shot a two bala. The first one aimed at Rio's stomach and the second at the arm he used to block her earlier strike. Both of which would stun him quite a bit and release his grasp on her. He wouldn't expect it either cause he was so caught up in trying to thrash her around. Fool. You left yourself exposed. They were way too close for him to even dodge or sidestep. Bala were like bullets, and travelled much more faster than a cero did. Free of charge. With that being said, all his other moves were negated because she intercepted him beforehand. Once Miho broke free, she dashed towards him with incredible speed, almost immediately closing the distance and it would be then that she Miho would then stab at his stomach, allowing her saw to go through him. He wasn't fat. This could work. She done this move before. Stupid fucking Cuarta. She quickly let go and used sonido to get behind Rio. She wasn't sticking around for what he was gonna do next. She'd then grasp the edge of the saw that stuck out with an iron grip and literally pulled it out; hilt an all. This would have to seriously hurt. Ooh..blood. Miho grinned at the Sexta as she took her saw by the hilt.

"That the best you got?"


Miho's Remaining Reiatsu: 2700/3200[/b]

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Two shots to the torso. Balla, eh? Rio saw Miho escape his attack with twin Balla striking his gut, forcing the Sexta back a step. Agh... that was annoying. However, it also proved something to Rio. This girl was a high enough level to inflict an injury on him. He'd have to be more careful. Rio did back down from the impacts though, watching for Miho's next attack. He didn't have to wait long. Really, there was no POINT in him going after Miho with attacks, as she was faster than him and brought the fight to him quick enough. But she made a mistake in attacking with a melee strike like that. Even if she was faster, attacking Rio head on like that was a bad idea!

As Miho struck, Rio performed another full body shockwave. This one was considerably stronger than the other one though, rapidly expanding at the speed of a Balla. And given how close Miho had to be to land her attack, this meant that, like her own, dodging would be nigh impossible. Fortunately, this wouldn't cause as serious an injury as a Balla. However, the force behind the attack was greater. Translation? It was probably going to smash Miho off balance, or even into the air, as well as deflecting her saw blade.

Rio wasn't going to waste this opportunity either. This was one of his favorite combinations. Off-balancing the foe with a point blank shockwave and then going in for the kill with a devastating blow of his own. In this case, that blow came in the form of a swift lunge towards Miho, coupled with a left hook towards her ribs. Of course, given Rio's strength, if the blow connected, it would be likely that it would cause serious damage. And worse yet, Rio wasn't finished. His other arm snapped upwards with a devastating elbow strike towards Miho's jaw. A normal blow like that could knock someone out, normally. With Rio's strength, who knows what could happen.

[Deleted]

Motherfucker. She can't deal with him in close combat. Those shockwaves of his interrupted with EVERYTHING. Ugh! Hey...Nijuu's shockwaves were virtually useless at a distance. Earthquakes and vibrations dissipate as the distance increases. He's also just been reacting and retaliating to her attacks which means either A. He can't keep up, B. He sucks, C. He can't do long range or D. He sucks. Close combat had to have been Rio's forte...which really sucked for Miho mainly because it was her forte too...But this pansy was fucking better at it.... Hmph. Stupid shockwaves. Whatever. She didn't devote all her training to close combat. She could do long distance. Just you wait and see.

But first...she had to get through this attack of his. He knocked her off balance and in the instance he did, Miho began charging a Cero. Really, she could sense it. She figured she wasn't going to get her way out of this by dodging. That and, spamming Sonido was stupid. Miho Shoga was above stupidity! Tch. He was going to be so caught up in trying to beat the shit out of her that it would be too late to move. Miho smirked. These old fools were always so damn predictable. She had his strategy down and etched into her memory. Ha...Old dog, old tricks. Miho shot her palm out and began to fire her Cero as she felt his blow impact her. If it successfully hit, it would put some distance between the two which was really what she wanted to do.

Shit....That really fuckin' hurt. She wasn't going to show it. No. Okay... Maybe a little. She tightened the grip on her saw and gritted her teeth. Nijuu had this sort of strength. It was like fighting Nijuu. Except, Rio wasn't a bipolar prick. He was just a dinosaur. Tch. If she came to him, she'd get in serious trouble. If she continued to do long range, she'd run low on reiatsu..Man. This Espada was really annoying. Well, at least he put up fight...unlike the Cuar-twit. Hey, why not combine the two? This works..Oh my. Miho! You're such a genius! She'd sonido to where Rio was and use her saw like a shovel. Big saw = Lots of sand. You know what she's gonna do! She flicked sand in his face and used sonido to back away from him before he could even hope to react. Once she'd distance herself, she shot two bala at his chest. Miho didn't want to keep up like this. If he pushed her further, she was going to release...and she really didn't want to cause releasing first makes you look weak. Ugh. Pride. Such a complicated matter.

Miho's Remaining Reiatsu: 2200/3200[/b]

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

Rio saw Miho preparing a Cero to blast him as he lunged in. Rio acted almost on reflex this time, slamming his palm into the Cero, before Miho would have a chance to launch it. The Cero would suddenly explode in a burst of reiatsu right then and there, searing Rio's arm. However, the backlash of the blast at point blank range would likely have caused Miho some harm as well. He was surprised to see that Miho had managed to take his punch so well though. Normally when he hit somebody, bones shattered. "Not bad, Fraccion! But you'll need more than a little pain tolerance and fancy footwork to best me!"

Miho kept bringing the fight to him, however, and she attempted to throw sand in his face! A dirty move? Yes. But Rio wasn't annoyed, he merely found it pathetic! She was going to follow it up of course. She was starting to show signs of irritation. She'd want to start venting that irritation on him. But Rio planned to use the sand cloud to his advantage moving to the edge of it. Because of the burst of sand and Miho's fast paced attacks, her Balla would have been launched before the sand had fallen, hiding Rio's movements. As such, the Balla punched through the sand where Rio had been, instead of where he was. But Rio counterattacked. Secretly.

The Espada made a massive sweep of his arm, dispelling the wave of sand with a grin. "Step it up Fraccion! You're starting to bore me! The Segunda Espada must have poor judgement if he chose some trash like you as his underling." The arm sweep wasn't just for dispelling the sand however. It had served two other purposes. First, it had cleared the immediate air around Rio of debris, hiding his next move. Second of all, it had been used to launch a shockwave that was now hurtling at Miho at the speed of a Balla, but held close to the same level of strength as one of Rio's punches. But unlike a Balla, this attack was close to invisible. Most people wouldn't be able to see it at all, especially with it moving so fast. Though Miho might be able to notice a slight rippling in the air as it blasted towards her. If she paid attention. Which is why Rio had let loose his taunts. To ensure her attention was on the Sexta, and thus, likely miss the nearly invisible shockwave hurtling at her solarplexus.

[Deleted]

If there was book for incredibly insulting banter...the Miho was the one who wrote it. She experienced in the sense that she was used to making people feel like shit. She was either getting him riled up or distracted. Huh. Oh no hun. That kind of crap might work with that teal-haired twit or that stupid Vice Captain...But not this arrancar. She'd been doing this for at least two centuries. But, she'd keep up regardless, eyes locked on him like a predator. "C'mon old timer. Before I turn as old as the Decima."[/i] Miho was as tough as nails. It takes more than a punch to put her out. She had incredible endurance and she was resilient in battle. When she took a hit, she wore it proudly and then she'd retaliate with double the viciousness and agression. The irritation was good. All the negativity going on was good. She'd need it for later mainly because her Release thrived on it; be it from Miho or Rio...or the both of them! She wasn't stupid, she KNEW she was going to have to release against him. It was natural to only do so against an Espada.

"Not bad, Fraccion! But you'll need more than a little pain tolerance and fancy footwork to best me!" He feeeelll for it~!! Ahahahaha! Stupid fucking Espada! Miho damn near lost it. She was on the verge of laughing hysterically. She cracked a smile. This was too good. He WALKED into this one. Her palm was still out and she was already charging. Regardless, she kept up with his banter. It was actually nice to know someone could fucking keep up. Even if they couldn't, she had good reactions for both types of scenarios. Either or was really fine with her. Just don't smile sweetly at her. "You ain't so bad for an old guy. Hn. Trust me, Sexta...It doesn't take much to best a bag of dirt. You're long overdue, don'tcha think?" At this point Miho was just waiting for him to realize it. She kept her eyes on him carefully. "Step it up Fraccion! You're starting to bore me! The Segunda Espada must have poor judgement if he chose some trash like you as his underling." He used those shockwaves like fucking crutches. At this point, she'd learn to expect it. "Pathetic." she spat as she fired her cero. At this point Rio had to have been getting rid of the sand; just like any other sucker would do.

That cero would blast through Rio's shockwaves and hit him dead on. He probably wasn't anticipating this. Probably. Why? The difference in Reiatsu Strength. Even if it was only by 20, her's was still stronger than his. It was fact. Ugh. Miho was at her limit. She needed to release. She honestly underestimated him. All of the other Espada were weak as shit. "....Show me sin, Chernobog!" One of Miho's eyes has a bright scarlet red flame flowing from it. She no longer has the humanoid hands most others do. They were replaced with a pair of large, black skeletal hands. On the back of each hand, are a pair of dark red skeletal charms with eyes that have a small silver flame emanating from them. Ominous black negative energy also emits from her hands like flames. Her hollow mask reaches up to her face and covers her nose. It was like a knight's mask..which is ironic because she isn't anything like a knight. She also has a single black raven wing attached to her right shoulder blade. Her zanpakuto was a little different. It was a chainsaw. One she could turn on and off at her own will.

She extended her wing and placed a hand on her hip as eyes narrowed. "Do you see my resurrection?! Whatever your release is, it must be real shitty cause you're NOT USIN' IT. Ahahaha~ This is a REAL resurrection.." She was grinning, but he probably couldn't tell because of the mask. When was the last time she got to release? It fuckin' felt good. Seriously, she goes crazy if she doesn't use it every once in a while. Now, she was going to destroy him to bits. Miho tilted her head to the side a bit. "...Or maybe you're just that strong. So strong that you don't even need it, like my boss...I'm impressed, Rio." She got his name right and paid him a compliment? Anyone who knew Miho well enough knew that this was fishy. She might be getting at something. Then again, Miho loved to see power, destruction, violence etc. She also might be genuinely impressed.

Now, Miho knew she shouldn't get close to him...but she was going to do it anyway. Miho shoved a portion of her saw into the sand and turned the chainsaw portion of her saw on, allowing sand to fly everywhere. See? She can use sand too! "Orcus' Bane.." she whispered. The small skull charms on the back of her hands disintegrated and turned into dust. With the sand flaring up though, Rio might not notice. She flew towards him and when she got closer, she sonido'd past him. It didn't do anything. It was really to throw him off. The real attacks were just beginning. [/size]

Miho's Remaining Reiatsu: 1500/3200

Orcus' Bane: 0/9

[Rio Demonliogalgo]

As Rio threw off the sand, he saw Miho's Cero hurtling towards him. So, since her Balla had missed, she was planning on using something like a Cero, to cover the whole space. Gahh..... too obvious, unfortunately. Rio suddenly used a Sonido, hurtling himself out of the way of the Cero, just in time to hear Miho begin to speak. She was performing her Ressurection huh? Rio grinned. "Well well well. Look who finally got themself a brain." He said but then added as an extra dig at her: "But don't think releasing's gonna be enough. You're a thousand years from beating me Miho Shoga!" He replied, actually using her name. Seemed she'd managed to impress Rio over the course of their battle.

She then made some comments about his own Ressurection. Rio sighed. "My Ressurection is only for people worth seeing it, not for trash." He replied with a smirk. "If I was gonna release then I'd crush you far too fast and the fun would all be over!" He added with his typical broad grin that suggested he was going to beat some face in.

Ah, here she came again. Taking the offensive like he'd expected of her. Really, with her attacking in such a frenzy, why WOULD Rio try and bring the fight to her? She was doing a good job of keeping it going herself! He watched her drive her weapon into the sand and kick up a lot of it. Huh. Now why would she do that? Showing off wasn't out of the question, of course, but Rio suspected she was trying to hide something. Her Sonido appeared to whirl past him. Hmmm.... she'd definately done something. He couldn't see an attack coming from her. She'd done something over there alright. Rio would have to watch out for that.

Rio launched his own attack, drawing both of his Sai and suddenly using his Sonido to appear right in front of Miho, potentially surprising her with his sudden appearance. The Espada would already be mid-strike, firing the hilt of one of his Sai toward's Miho's face. He brought the second one cracking downwards in a powerful blow to her leg, while she might be distracted by the left one. He then would step forwards intending to slam his forehead into hers in a headbutt, while she'd be distracted by the Sai. While his headbutt wouldn't be able to use his normal superhuman strength, it'd still be pretty strong.

"Well well well. Look who finally got themself a brain. But don't think releasing's gonna be enough. You're a thousand years from beating me Miho Shoga!" Miho grinned. Hm. He used her real name though. Was he impressed or was he using some kind of sick tactic on her? Miho honestly couldn't tell because SHE thought like that all the time, so naturally, she was suspicious. Rio struck her as the kind of person that was equally as manipulative. She made a point to be cautious when dealing with him. At least she wasn't dealing with some one nice. It's always the nice ones that were hard to predict...cause you never know when they'd do something...stupid. "Hahaha...and he was cute too...What a shame.." she was cackling in her mind. She was talking as if he was already dead. It went perfectly. Now, all that was left was the waiting game. Though, it was a game she had to play carefully just like the others. It was like luring your prey into this super awesome elaborate trap.

Okay. So he appeared in front of her. Big fuckin' woop. She'd seen worse. He'd tried to hit her face before. It was only safe to bet he'd do it again. Miho ducked and brought her chainsaw up to block his second sai. It was an awkward, diagonal block that barely made it. She'd turn the chainsaw on, allowing it to roar loudly. If Rio wasn't careful, it was going to shred his weapons to bits. Wait. Close quarters. Miho used sonido to move farther away from him. At this point, it was far too late for him. She just needed to survive or at least try to kill him now. "Forze de Male." she called out as she snapped her fingers. Any negative emotions she and Rio were feeling were going to be used right now. If Rio was feeling something emotion wise, he'd feel it 10 times worse...something like that. It amplified their emotions and then it flowed right into Miho and she used it against you. Irritation, annoyance, pity...there was so much present. She could make whatever she wanted. Ooh...What about a hydra? They had six heads. Troublesome, no? She'd summon one of those. One made of purely dark energy would form right in front of Rio and all six heads would roar threateningly; each head aiming to tear him to bits. He couldn't dispel this with reiatsu strength because she was using their emotions against him. Can't dispel emotions! Miho used her saw like a cane and leaned on it. She knew she wasn't going to get a break anytime soon..but that technique made her tired. Rio could kill the hyrda. In fact, he should, it wasn't going to stop unless he was dead.

Oh Arrogance was a terrible thing. Really. It was practically man's worst enemy. Huh. Well, good things she's not a man. She doesn't have that problem! She's not arrogant (bullshit)! "My Ressurection is only for people worth seeing it, not for trash. If I was gonna release then I'd crush you far too fast and the fun would all be over!" Damn right it was. But his resurrection can wait. She could careless actually. She was aware he'd try to attack her again. That's exactly how this fight was going. Now, she was going to spice things up a bit. "Hn. I wouldn't be surprised if it did crush me..." This was unusual even for Miho. What was she doing? Was she really impressed? Or was it the truth? Rio was proving to be alot tougher than she thought though. "You really think the Espada title is worth it..?" she asked. Not that the trash thing bothered her, but it seemed that he only treated those who weren't Espada like trash. Miho would bet all her Ryo that Rio (Ryo, Rio...harhar) couldn't defeat the rest of her 'comrades'. Chisoku would be too fast, Nijuu would beat him at his own game and Kouen's hierro was too strong. They all could have been Espada if they wanted to. But chose not to.

Miho's Remaining Reiatsu: 1400/3200

Orcus' Bane: 1/9[/b]
