To be broken, but remade Stronger (NDE/Closed)

"NEVER!" Pavel watched as the woman slowly tried to aim her arm towards him. Without much pity or care, the XSG would move his leg and quickly graby both of her legs before throwing her aside. "What does dis lesson teach ya?" the man would continue to mock her. "Never! Never! I was in the Army. We shot those that defied us." he continued to sneer at her. As the fight continued to progress Pavel began to sweat profusely, his body was capable of becoming exausted earlier then some. And when his body was close or becoming exausted it would begin to sweat and steam. "All of them is your fault. Your fault that they died in vain.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

While Hotaru was trying to aim for her attack, the man move his leg and quickly grabbed both of her legs, throwing her to the side. It made her more angry. He then said what does this lesson teach her then said he was in the Army and they shot those that defied them. She was then curious as to why the man wasn't shooting her now. It was pretty obvious that she was defying him right now, but it was interesting that he just didn't want to end it.

He then kept telling her that they all died in vain because it was her fault that they died. She was getting really pissed off now. Her anger grew to the point that she couldn't hold it back anymore. She then wanted to try something that she hadn't done before. She started up and wanted to unleash all of her techniques on this man. Even if they wouldn't hit him, it would make her feel a lot better. From where she was, she did her x slash attack, creating two slashes with her liquid, lighting it on fire and sending it towards him.

She then Shunpoed off to his left and threw a grenade towards him. She then Shunpoed towards his front. She quickly formed her cone shape with liquid, lit it on fire and then sent it towards him. The next thing she did was Shunpo towards his back and shot off one of her special scales towards his back. Then, she Shunpoed off to his right several feet away. Now, she could look and tell that he was sweating pretty badly. Hopefully, this meant that this man was almost done. Her body was so sore it was ridiculous.

[OOC] Never read Hotaru's App so if this fire was supposed to be "special" in some way. Do forgive me, this is all IC and stuff.

"Time to join in on the fun." Pavel smugly said as the woman disappeared to do her actions. In the few seconds that it took her to posistion herself and the extra time she gave him due to the fact her body ached Pavel was able to grab the syringe from his coat and stab into his chest. The liquid quickly pressed into his body and he released. Everything would make contact, the explosion of the grenade, the liquid made contact with his body and bursted into flames, everything that she threw at him would connect and Pavel would ignite. But there was one thing that would change the course of her "plans." whether it was to her horror, surprise, or possibly anger. The man would continue walking, not because of pure strength but in that instant, Pavel had released and when he released, his body was subjected to F.E.V or Forced Evolutionary Virus and the course he believed that would help things would be to release armour. Covering his entire body from head to toe was a black material, what the material was made out seemed like hardened muscle. But it did not have lines or other features that would show muscle. The outside of Pavel's body was smooth yet bulky. When someone observed his face they would not see any features, there were no eye holes or any facial features at that. Yet he could see, he could breath and hear, he could do everything he could have done before he used the armour. The heat would get past the armour a bit but overall he stood strong. "Forced Evolutionary Virus. Supposed to be inert and dead but in my blood... it is as inert as your anger right now." Pavel had hoped that the fire would soon be extinguished by the cold but he did not rely on it. "Dis fight. Is growing tiresome. And you are almost at the edge of your exaustion level. Amirite?" the smug tone continued to echo.

With his speed he quickly ran up to Hotaru and gripped her by her left and right arm, raising them above her head he would quickly head butt her before pushing her onto the ground, but things did not stop there. Pavel would immediately get on top of her and clench his fists. He was sure to keep a good amount of weight off of her to avoid crushing her underneath strength but it would make it hard for her to get up. Immediately the XSG would punch the left side of her face with more force, to be broken was to have someone break you physically, emotionally, or mentally. Pavel had hoped to do all three and help build her back up so that she may never have to face this reality ever again. So that she may be able to fight with ferocity and not feel the cold sting of loneliness or dissapointment from the person she looked up to, from the person she loved dearly. He did not stop there, he immediately grabbed her face before it could make contact with the cold ground and reposistion it. With another forceful punch he would stike the right side of her face repeating it four more times. "You said you wanted to become strong. Yet you failed. Yet you failed to avenge your comrades. Yet you failed to fight for what you believed in. You believe you are capable of shining light into the darkness of Injustice. But you fail to realize that you were too late."

With those words he repeated the punching two more times and grasped her head. "You were too late. I was consumed by the Darkness. Consumed and forgotten in Injustice. By the time light was shined into my world, all that was left was a near empty husk, save for one thing. Hatred." he reeled his head back and head butted her head into the ground. "And that is what you must learn. That not everyone can be avenged... Not everyone can be fought for. You fight for a dying cause. You fight for hopelessness. So I ask you... No... I demand you yield one more time." he placed his hands onto her head and pressed "And I will make your death like your comrades... Swift." he slowly turned her head both ways to get another look at how she looked before returning her eyes to his blocked eyes. "But if you defy me one more time. And I will rip your limbs one by one. I will grind them into mush. And force you to eat them." Pavel was not 'serious' but he was a master at acting. He could make even the most ridiculous and untrue claims seem true. His voice growled with agression and sadism as his body began to emit physical steam. Exaustion was a horrible feeling, but Pavel could act it away for now.

Thread is not over but for future reference this is an official statement that I. RaisedClock acklowledge and allow Hotaru Kuchiki to fight in this particular thread without a need to post release cost, length, or expended reiatsu. I will do so because force of habit. Just to leave this here just in case someone has an issue with it and believe there are rule bending involved.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru stood there, a few feet off to this man's right, huffing pretty badly. She has never fought in a battle so hard where she's been beat up so badly. She really hoped that all the attacks she threw at this man connected. If not all of them, then at least one of them. She then watched him walk out of the fire. HE WALKED OUT OF THE FIRE! She just stared open mouthed at this man. He withstood everything she threw at him and just walked out like he was in the park.

She couldn't believe it. It was think that she really knew she couldn't beat this man. She had inklings before that she couldn't, but it seemed that he released his power and it was all over for her. She hadn't felt this helpless in a while. She hated this feeling. But, he was all black. She didn't even see his eyes. It was weird. Then, he answered her question by saying that it was the Forced Evolutionary Virus. It's supposed to be inert and dead in his blood, but now it was as inert as her anger.

That statement really pissed her off. This guy was just so powerful, he didn't feel the heat of her attacks. He then said that the fight was growing tiresome and that she had to be almost to the edge of her exhaustion level. She really was. She didn't know how much longer she could keep her Shikai going and how much longer she could fight before she passed out completely. Rivu~aiasan was trying his best to keep her will up to fight, but only he could do so much.

It was then that this man ran at her and before she could actually move, he appeared in front of her and grabbed both of her arms. He raised her up to his head level and head butted her before he pushed her down on the ground. She was definitely seeing stars after that attack and was a little groggy. The next thing he did was get on top of her with enough force that he made it so she had a lot of trouble moving, let alone trying to get away.

He clenched his fists and the immediately punched her on the left side of her face. She thought she felt something break in her face after he hit her, but wasn't too sure since he immediately grabbed her face again. He re positioned her face and then proceeded to punch her in the right side of her face four more times. With his extra strength, she thought she heard something break on the right side of her face as well. But, she couldn't really tell again, since her head was spinning a little from all the head strikes.

Right after he was done punching her in the face, he started talking, while punching her two more times in the face. He said that she wanted to become strong but she failed in that and avenging her comrades. She failed to fight for what she believed in. She believed she was capable of shining light into the darkness of injustice, but she failed to realize that she was too late.

He then reeled his head back and head butted her again, so it pushed her head into the ground. He then said that is what she must learn, that not everyone can be avenged or fought for. She fights for a dying cause and hopelessness. He asked her, then demanded her to yield for one more time. He placed his hands onto her head and pressed, making her grind her teeth in pain. He then promised that he would make her death a swift one.

He then moved her head back and forth and then made her make eye contact with his featureless face. He then told her if she defied him one more time, he would rip her limbs off one by one, grind them into mush and force her to eat them. She watched as steam was starting to come off of his body and assumed that he was hitting his limit as well. She stared back at him. "No, I will not lay down and die. But, I know at my current power level I can't defeat you. So, do whatever you want, but I will NEVER agree to die by your hands! NEVER!"

[Pavel Fedoseev]

"No, I will not lay down and die. But, I know at my current power level I can't defeat you. So, do whatever you want, but I will NEVER agree to die by your hands! NEVER!" With all his force he punched the ground next to her head, it would drill deep into the ground and send a message that if he struck the woman's head with all of his strength it would kill her in an instant. Immediately he pulled his fist from the ground and forced his left hand onto her mouth, preventing her from speaking anylonger and straightened her head. He raised his free hand and slammed it onto Hotaru's head killing her instantly. Or so she would think, she would not feel anything, the grip on her face had loosened and there was another hand pressed against the side of her cheek. The man moved his hand off of her mouth and kept the other one on the side of her face. Without force or harsh movement he slowly moved her head to one side and then to the other before nodding. "Good Job." His normal voice was back and there was no sense of malice or hatred in it at all, the training was 'over' and there will no longer be any pain or suffering. "Your body must be in so much pain." he said with much care and consideration. A drastic change from just a few seconds ago, "You did a good Job." he would get off of the woman and extinguish the fires himself before kneeling forward and picking her up, placing one hand on her back and one underneath her legs.

"Most people would have normally given up. Or they would have continued fighting until they tore themselves apart. People normally do not survive training like this where they are broken apart in some way or another because they did not stop when their body gave out. They chose foolishness over intelligence. And they died." The fighting, or training was over and she did not have to worry about pain for the time being. "So you deserve to be proud of yourself. You have shown that you were able to fight, with verocity, but with intelligence. But most important of this entire lesson is you endured. You endured and you never gave up. Even with the chance of an easy and 'painless' death. You never gave up." he walked a few feet towards a little brown bag and knelt forward, opening it with the hand that would have normally been supporting her legs. He laid her down and placed one hand over her eyes "Now... Shhh. You will feel a short prick somewhere on your body, but that will be short lived." With the other hand, Pavel grabbed onto a syringe with a clear liquid, made specifically for the occasion of knocking out spiritual beings, after checking to see if it did not freeze and was capable of injecting liquids Pavel placed his finger onto her neck and quickly jabbed the syringe into her neck. There was a quick sensation of pain but it quickly subsided along with her consciousness. "My apologies. But we can not have you knowing where I will be taking you. For now, of course." calm words escaped his mouth as he moved his hand from her eyes while removing the syringe.

[OOC] Training ends here.

When the woman came too she would find herself in a rather small tan room with a mahogany desk in the front center of the room, to th eleft of the desk was another brown table with a lamp on top of it, on the mahogany desk was a small television, turned to some Russian News Channel with a fridge placed next to the desk. Next to her was another white bed, with its sheets neatly fixed along with a nightstand and a lamp. The room that she was currently in was room 142 in a small motel in the nearby town of Moscow. To her right was the airconditioning unit, placed underneath a large window with a thick brown curtain blocking view of the outside. But she could tell it was currently day time, the sun was still up and it attempted to shine through the thick curtains. What it did allow Hotaru to see was the sillouhetes of two figures standing outside, conversing. The windows were thick enough that it was hard to understand them, even if she placed her ears onto the glass to listen. That was the next thing she would notice about herself, there was no pains, no aches, it was as if they never sparred or fought in the first place. There was no throbbing pain on her face and if she tried to move it would feel unrestricted, as if she woke up from a very relaxing nap. When it was clear that the two figures shook hands and departed, the door handle shook a bit as Pavel allowed himself back into the room.

"My apologies knocking you out without your consent, or much of it. Couldn't have you seeing the face of a certain Doctor. Touchy fella that one, only shows his face to members. Took a bit of payment and convincing in order to get the man to fully treat your wounds. Afterwards he recieved his usual payments and we departed. No goodbyes, just until next time. You should notice that you arn't hurting like you normally should after any intense training. But that is the miracle of medicine and reiatsu, would you not agree." the man continued to speak, he was dressed in another black suit with a white dress shirt and red tie. He wore his typical attire and did not bother putting a disguise on. He calmly walked towards the refirdgerator and pulled out glass tray of cubed watermelon. "A very lovely fruit." he softly said to himself as he sat on the bed next to the Shinigami's. "Now. As said before. You did a good job in your training and you never gave up. You could have done better but you did not do worse."

[OOC] blah. Crap post is crap. Do post a reaction to the first bit too, would you kindly?

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru just stared at him while she looked him in the face. She watched as he reared his hand back and went towards her face. Then, she heard him hit the ground and looked over. His hand was literally drilling down into the earth. She knew that if she had gotten hit by that attack, she would be dead right now. He then lifted his fist out of the ground and his other hand covered her mouth.

She wanted to cry out but she knew she couldn't. This strange man was too strong for her to try to power out of his grasp. She still tried to fight out of his grasp. He raised his free hand up above her head. She watched as his hand came down on her. She assumed that he was going to do what he just did to the ground, kill her instantly. But, it was then that she felt something that she wasn't expecting.

The grip on her mouth had loosened and she felt another hand on the side of her head. She looked up and he was back. Pavel was back. He then checked her head, moving it slowly from the left side and the right. He nodded and told her that she did a good job. She wanted to look around to see where that other man went, but she couldn't move under his grip on her. He continued to tell her that her body must be in a great deal of pain, but she did a good job.

He put out fires and then picked her up, putting arms behind her back and under her legs. While she was being carried, he told her that most people would have normally given up or continued fighting until they tore themselves apart. People normally do not survive training like this where they are broken apart in some way or another because they did not stop when their body gave out, choosing foolishness over intelligence and they died. She deserved to be proud. She showed that she was able to fight, with veracity, but with intelligence. But most important of this entire lesson is that she endured. She endured and never gave up. Even with the chance of an easy and 'painless' death, she never gave up.

She listened and when she heard that phrase, it made her think about something. Why would he say it that way? Before she knew what was happening, she was getting laid down on the ground with a hand covering her eyes. He said she would feel a short prick and she was moving up to get away, but the prick sensation happened to quick and she completely lost consciousness.

She woke up and found herself in a tan room with a desk and chair in the center of the room and off to that table's left was another table with a lamp. Back to the first desk she saw, there was television playing in what she assumed was the native language of Moscow. She noticed a bed next to hers that wasn't in use. She then looked to her right and saw an air conditioning unit. Right about that was a huge window that showed her the city. It was bright out and she saw two people standing outside of her room.

She got herself to sitting upright, wondering who those two people were. While she moved around, she noticed that she wasn't in pain anymore. She was curious how all the pain just vanished. Her face was even painless. Before she could wonder too much about it, the door handle jiggled and Pavel walked back into the room. She guessed he was talking to an associate of his outside.

He then apologized for knocking her out. She wasn't allowed to see the face of a doctor, since he only shows his face to members. So, he had used his company doctor to fix her. He then said because of that doctor she's feeling no pain now now and that was the miracle of medicine and reiatsu. She nodded her head in agreement. He then started walking towards a fridge that she didn't even notice until now.

He pulled out a tray and said that it was a lovely fruit and sat on the bed next to her. She had seen it before but never got to try that fruit called 'watermelon.' He said that she did good. She could've done better but she couldn't do worse. She thought about that. She figured she could've put up more resistance to that man he brought in, but she knows better now. "I do have a question. Who in the hell was that guy you brought in to fight me? He actually made me believe my squad got killed when that never happened. It's an impressive skill."

"I do have a question. Who in the hell was that guy you brought in to fight me? He actually made me believe my squad got killed when that never happened. It's an impressive skill." the man was a tad surprised, his facial expression did not change but on the inside he nodded. "So she truly believed the act." he thought to himself. He merely shook his head "That man.... went away." he said as he placed the tray onto the table between their beds and stood up. "Yes... He went away. Far away. Hopefully, you will never have to deal with that person again." As Pavel was speaking that he walked into the restroom to wash his hands, the sound of the water entering the drain filled into the small tan room as Hotaru had the chance to respond, if she chose to. "You were out for a few hours, actually. Maybe two, or three? Our doctors make sure that our agents are out in the field as soon as possible, after their treatment and rest of course. And since you must report back to your organization after an X amount of hours. I figured the best would be in order. No charge though." the man continued as he wiped his hand. "While we are here, there must be other questions you have before you leave. Ask them now." he finished as he sat back down onto the bed.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru listened to what Pavel had to say. He said that the man went away, far away and hopefully she will never have to deal with that person again. He put the tray between the two beds and he went to the bathroom. While he was washing his hands, she grabbed a piece of the watermelon and started eating. "But, how could he disappear so fast and you reappear that quickly? It seems almost impossible. The only real reason that it could be would be...if...but that's impossible, isn't it?"

The last part she was half speaking to herself. He spoke again and she looked up. He said that she was out for a few hours, because the doctors he brought over made sure that the agents are out in the field as soon as possible after treatment and rest. He figured since she would have to report back to Soul Society eventually, he wanted the best to be done with no charge. He sat back down on the bed and said ask anymore questions she had.

"Okay, I do have some questions. If you can answer, what kind of organization do you work for? The way you talk about it and the things you have access to are incredible. I don't know of any human organization that has this kind of pull. I'm curious about it since you know about mine. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're the guy I was fighting, since he disappeared so quick. How were you able to fool me like that? It was pretty impressive." She nibbled on more watermelon. This fruit was definitely tasty.

[Pavel Fedoseev]

[Excuse me for the long wait]

""Okay, I do have some questions. If you can answer, what kind of organization do you work for? The way you talk about it and the things you have access to are incredible. I don't know of any human organization that has this kind of pull. I'm curious about it since you know about mine. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that you're the guy I was fighting, since he disappeared so quick. How were you able to fool me like that? It was pretty impressive." persistance was key for certain reactions, however this information was not something Pavel would willingly disclose on a lot. He knew that the relationship between the Gotei 13 and Xcution has its instabilities, but for the most part they were far away from each other. The assassins would continue their job while the Shinigami did theirs. Things have been nice since they generally keep each others hands out of their respective pies unless someone pays for the death of a Shinigami. "Lets say we put away very bad people." Pavel spoke, his voice flat and monotonous, keeping away from the usage of emotion. This was a fact, this was the truth. Xcution was responsible for killing people that others paid the Assassin to kill. "We are self proclaimed peace keepers. We exterminate those who goes against the general health of mankind. In essense we judge, we execute, and we recieve payment for doing so." the emotion was still flat, it was as if he could easily flip the on switch to off and back to on in a mere second.

"You may call me a Hitman. That is the general description of what and who I am. It is why my name is no longer important, who I am as an individual is no longer important. It is why it is no longer important to lead a normal life. Because injsutice is everywhere. I must be able to perform my duty anwywhere. So it is natural for me to lose myself into fake names, and fake lives that I can create and use at whims. That is why the gentleman you fought was so convincing. Because I am able to change who I am in a heartbeat, I am able to losemyself in a name in a life I never had, and become a false person for the job. But thank you for those kind words"

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru was sitting up now and she kept eating on the watermelon. She would definitely remember to grab more watermelon when she could. She listened to every word he was saying. His organization put away very bad people and that they are self proclaimed peace keepers. They exterminate those who go against the general health of mankind. They judge, execute and receive payment for doing so. She thought that it was all interesting.

Next, he continued to go into a little more detail about his job. He said that she could call him a Hitman, since that is the most general description of him. It's why his name and individuality doesn't exist anymore and why it's not important for him to lead a normal life. He just fights injustice, using fake names and fake lives to get the job done. He can become a false person for his job. He thanked her for the compliment. "You're welcome, Hitman. Also, thank you again for taking care of me. Is there anything you wanted to ask me or would you think it wise that I leave? I don't want to get you in trouble because I'm here." She now had her feet dangling off the bed, ready to move if needed.

[Pavel Fedoseev]

[ooc] Hurray for Finals!

[IC]

"You're welcome, Hitman. Also, thank you again for taking care of me. Is there anything you wanted to ask me or would you think it wise that I leave? I don't want to get you in trouble because I'm here." Pavel would stand there for a few seconds before pulling out his wallet. "I seldom ever get the chance to consume ice cream. Would you like some, as a small reward." If she agreed, they would leave the small room. Outside was a snowy evening, the sun being high in the air with the cold embracing those that stepped outside. "The ice cream store is not too far. Perhaps a two blocks?" he gazed onto the streets that was full of cars passing too and from their origanol location to their desired destination. The walk in itself would take only a few minutes. And she had more of an oppertunity to ask more questions. Once there Pavel merely pulled out his wallet and stared at the registar. His eyes were staring into the young mans eyes and his face was without any expression. "One strawberry ice cream." and his eye shifted to Hotaru. "Give me a minute while I decide on another one."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

When she spoke, he just stood there for a few seconds and pulled out something from pocket. He then asked her if she would like something called ice cream. She had never heard of something called ice cream before, but it sounded amazing! She was always up to try something new. She followed him out of the small room, making sure that she put her warm clothes back on. Once they left the building, she noticed that it was already evening, and very chilly.

He said that it wasn't too far away. She nodded and bundled herself up more. She wasn't used to this kind of cold and she made a note to not come back here with the snow on the ground unless absolutely necessary. They walked in silence. She was watching the cars and traffic go by. She honestly didn't know what else to ask him. This was a good time, but honestly, she didn't want to pry into the man's history. He had already told him a great deal about him. "I would like to know more about you, but I'm afraid to pry too much."

By the time she said that, they arrived. They walked in and went to the register. She was debating on what she wanted when he said that he wanted strawberry. He looked towards her and she said, "I'll have one of those too!" She smiled towards him. He was an interesting man. Insanely powerfuly, but nice enough to get her ice cream. She waited with him until they got their ice cream and followed him to a seat.

[Pavel Fedoseev]

[OOC] Hotaru in a spiritual body is eating a physical thing. Fuck Spiritual Logic. Ice cream comes first.
[IC]

"I would like to know more about you, but I'm afraid to pry too much." The man nodded as they walked. "If you ask a question I do not want to answer. I will say I do not want to want to answer. It is that simple." The response as clean and simple. At the ice cream shop, the woman had requested the same thing. When his eye met the cashier's his hand went up and opened his mouth. "I change my mind. I will want two cones of strawberry ice cream." when the total came up, the assassin paid it as if it was nothing. He made a substantial amount of money from the hits that he would always do. He handed her cone back to her and walked back outside. as he licked the ice cream he stood there. "So you must still have curiosity in your brain. That is human nature, to be curious. So ask them all and we will see if I want to answer. That is simple."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

(OOC: lol, I was wondering about that)

IC:
She nodded in agreement with him. It would make sense. After he ordered their ice cream, they walked outside of the shop. She looked at the ice cream. Whatever was holding it had indentions in it. She saw them actually make them from some kind of batter, so she knew that it was edible. He was talking and she heard him, but she tried out her ice cream before she answered. Once she took one lick, she was immediately in heaven. It was just as good as coffee.

She smiled as she continued licking her ice cream. She cracked a piece off of the cone and ate it and it too was delicious. She was thinking about what to ask him while eating her ice cream. "First off, this ice cream with this fancy holder is DELICIOUS! I'm going to have to get more sometime. Second, I would love to learn anything about you that you're willing to share. Though, I was curious why you were willing to train me, especially since it seems that your organization doesn't seem to like my kind very much."
