Shokan Vs Lagos [PG, NDE]

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

Thread Title: Kawada Vs Oscuras [PG, NDE]
Participants: Shokan Kawada, Lagos Oscuras
World: Human World
Death Setting: Non Death Enabled
Rating: PG
Location: Near a small country town. Inside of a lumber yard, filled with logs. The area is rather large, 50 yards of space at least.
Special Conditions: None.
Circumstances: Shokan has been dispatched from the Seireitei on reports of hollow activity. Unfortunately, his information is somewhat off. Lagos is in this town for reasons unknown, but when the Shinigami appears, how does she react?

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

Shōkan was alert. He had just arrived by senkaimon on the outskirts of the backwoods little town. It was mid summer, and the scorching heat laid waste to any who dared exit their homes, hence, the place seemed fairly deserted. A hollow presence had been detected just north of here, and he had been dispatched to exterminate the menace. Slowly, he started walking towards the area.

As he walked, he began preparing himself. It shouldn't be anything difficult, but it always paid to be prepared. He pushed his hand against his jaw, cracking his neck, stretching his back and shoulders, rolling his shoulders. 'I needed a nice workout today anyways'. Lately, his training had come to an almost glacial pace, he needed to test himself, and this seemed the perfect opportunity.

He absentmindedly checked the iron walls of control he restrained his body and power with. The scorching heat he kept buried inside, the raw might contained within his muscles. His casual strolled took him through the main streets of town. Dilapidated buildings littered either side of the street. The consequences of a changing nation. As always, the times may change, but the places, the people, remained the same.

He began to slow as he reached the lumber yard. The place was quite, the waning afternoon, the cicadas beckoning, a gust of wind pushing dust up. These were all that could be sensed. Shōkan did not fear, he was Shinigami a God of Death. and although he was far, far weaker than he once was. He could handle any normal hollow he came across with ease.

But something in the air, an electric feeling tickled his senses. His ancient battle honed instincts were coming along. There was something here. Something Dangerous. Something.... Familiar. He could feel it in the tenseness of his muscles, in the wind that blew across his neck, hair standing on end. He could smell it in the air. He let a small grin spread across his face 'Finally... Something interesting.'

[Lagos Oscuras]

Lagos Oscuras found herself within the middle of a country side. Why would the Fraccion of the Cuarto Espada be here this fine summer day? Because she wanted some calm relaxation and time to reflect on herself after all these battles. Also because she had recently finished working on her technique False Rapture’s developments. Turning hapless humans into Hollows over the period of a week was tiring but it was interesting to see how different beings reacted to this power of hers. However, she was about done with her experiments and now was ready to head back home. That is...until she found a Senkaimon gate appear in the distance. Shinigami.

A small grin formed on her lip as she flicked her grey hair. Now...was this going to be another small fry Shinigami? Or was this one actually a semi competent foe that might be able to entertain her a bit more? She decided to make her presence known...as suddenly she released a large burst of spiritual pressure to allow even those without energy sensory to track her down. She would wait, standing amongst the trees within the forest. She was clearly visible and she would wait there for her opponent to appear. Perhaps...she could have some fun this time. Although...she wasn’t too sure about that.

She stood there, before she removed her large and heavy trench coat to show she wore a tanktop that stopped just above her belly button as she revealed her voluptuous figure. She was of a slender body and the curvature of an hourglass. It was a hot day after all...and she didn’t want to get her outfit dirty again. She would have to clean it with bleach. However, her turquoise handled katana rested on the right side of her body as she felt no immediate need to draw it as of yet. She crossed her arms over her abundant chest before groaning to see it was ANOTHER male Shinigami. Why were there no blossoming females for her to kill and torture?

She blared her Reiatsu at the man using gravitational pressure to push down on him as several trees around them would crack and groan. “I don’t have time for people like you right now. I am trying to relax here. Leave...or I’ll kill you.” Her voice was Alto and soft like butter. Her eyes were a cerulean blue and her hair a shining grey. She really didn’t want to waste effort on an enemy like this. Although if she had to, she was going to be...pissed. “I am Arrancar Noventa ey Nueve (99) and Fraccion of the Cuarto Espada. Face me and I guarantee...you will regret every moment of your life.”

By generally looking, she could sense he didn’t seem to be very spiritually powerful. In fact...she could say that he was rather pathetic in terms of that field. She wondered if he was going to bother introducing himself or not. She was an Arrancar and he was a Shinigami. Normally they should be fighting to the death, but thing is she wasn’t in the mood for that right now. She was frustrated and just trying to get away from fighting for a little bit. Her battles and expectations have been incessant as of lately. Oh well...what was one more kill under her belt? Nothing wrong with torturing another Shinigami? Hopefully if she killed him, when he would be reborn, he would come back as a girl. Then she could kill him in the next life and turn the reincarnation into a Hollow and then later an Arrancar. Yes...that sounded perfectly sane. 

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

The sudden blast of spiritual pressure certainly caught Shōkan off guard. Even with his abysmal ability in sensing energy, he could feel it, if their had been any mortals in the vicinity, they would have surely passed out from the strain. That could mean one of four things. His opponent was so powerful as to not care that he sensed. He/she was a mindless beast and cound't even control their power properly. They were overconfident. Or they were powerful AND arrogant.

Calmly walking to the source of energy, Shōkan kept every part of his body relaxed, supple, calm. When the moment came to begin, he would act with lighting speed and power. As he saw the... Being standing in the ooded area, Shōkan felt a headache begin to form. He had not seen an Arrancar in many... Many years. And the last time he had fought the hardest he had ever fought in his life. The battle had bereaved him of many years and almost all of his power.

He didn't know very much about them, simply their most basic abilities. But he did know they were intelligent monsters. The vast majority were horrible fascimiles of Shinigami. Hollows taking on the form, and the zanpakuto in order to achieve more power. Regardless, Shōkan knew that there almost no such thing as a weak arrancar, he would need to use all of his power and skill to combat her.

Stopping over a dozen yards away when she began speaking, Shōkan left plenty of room in between them, cautious. He kept his eye on her, admittedly toned, core. You falsify any other type of movement into a feint, but your core would always tell the truth. Hearing her speak, Shōkan let out a breath, 'Definitely arrogant at least, I can use that.'Hearing her telling him to flee, Shōkan kept a grim, stoic look upon his aristocratic features.

{Actual Bleach Music}

"Unfornuately. Arrancar Noventa ey Nueve, I have been charged to protect this world we inhabit, and purge any threats to the humans living here's wellbeing. And seeing how you are entirely made up, of stolen souls. I cannot allow you to remain here." Shōkan lifted his gaze for the first time to her eyes, showing a resolve of steely determination. "I return the favor. Leave now, don't make me destroy you."

[Lagos Oscuras]

The man in front of her wasn't intimidated by her power. It was then at that moment that Lagos cocked her left eyebrow before chuckling slightly. "I've never met a Shinigami quite like you before. Making an Arrancar the same offer." Drawing the sword with her left hand, she decided to respond once more. "You say I'm made of stolen souls. What an interesting assumption you have. That is rather incorrect. It is true that my power is originating from my evolution of which I had to eat in order to do...but." In that moment, Lagos used the Sonido to appear in front of front of the Kawada before delivering a swift diagonal slash aimed to slice the man's right shoulder to the left side of his thigh.

However, she was anticipating for her foe to block with his own blade. If that were the case, she would quickly swerve into a pivot which turned into a sidestep so that she could seemingly dance to his left side before transitioning from that turn to another as her blade would attempt to slash the man's back. "My power is my own. I am the one and only." She was swift and she fought in rather...unorthodox methods. As of now, she was trying to orchestrate this battle as a dance between the male and female bodies. She needed to gauge what kind of fighter he was. She assumed seeing his spiritual powers were not very refined, that this man had to be a physical fighter. However...how physical? Lagos was a dangerous fighter.

She had fought two Vice Captains as well as several other enemies with decent proficiency. "What's your name and rank Shinigami. It's rather rude to not state your name to someone who has." Lagos had to stay cautious of the man's strengths. She of course had several tricks of her own of course. Her unnatural flexibility. Her decently sharp senses. She had a balance of power that could make her fearsome in the eyes of many. If she had to...then she could also release. Although this Shinigami's own release surely would be powerful. There would be no way that the Soul Society would send a Shinigami to face her without a release unless it happened to be that they were THAT short handed. She wanted to fight some stronger beings.

She was sure that likely this enemy would be incapable of breaking through her Hierro even. That skill was something she trusted in as well as her keen senses of battle. For centuries she fought as a Hollow and even as an Arrancar. She was a warrior and she refused to fall to a Shinigami. One could say that she was proud, and she wouldn't deny. She had worked long and hard in order to reach this level of power and she wasn't going to fall to a Shinigami. She wasn't the Fraccion of the Cuarto Espada for nothing. This was likely some no name Shinigami...or perhaps a low end seated officer. "Show me what you have."

The threats her enemy was spouting of destroying her were bluffs. There was no possible way that this...Shinigami male would be capable of killing her. Although...she would let the battle play itself through and determine that. Lagos didn't know very many techniques, but she knew enough so that her strategies despite being simple, were still effective. The effeminate Arrancar was going soft for now. She was hoping though her opponent would go all out. Give her a taste of what his full power was. She would acclimate as needed and go stronger. Normally she would be fighting with the power of her spiritual techniques. Now...for the game to begin.

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

Shōkan saw the arrancar coming in an instant, the slight shift of her weight, the tightening of her core, and then she was there, slashing at him. She was swift, and seemed to know what she was doing. Shōkan was calm however, anyone coming in close to him, was in for a world of trouble. He was a close ranged fighter, physical in every sense, and he had abilities perfectly suited for his style of combat.

As she came in, Shōkan didn't hesitate, he swung his blade with his held back speed[275], and his reduced strength behind it[350], to block her blade. The trick however was in how he swung it, strangely sideways 'Let's see how she deals with surprises... Taiyou' He saw as she attempted to dance back and around his blade, to the left of him, that was perfect, a block would have been better, but this was just as well. The moment the blade passed her, she would feel an immense wind throw her away, with a force of 675, the gale was extremely powerful.

Shōkan would then use Senka, flashing towards her with the same speed as earlier [3025], attempting to pierce those two most vital areas for a soul. Seeing as how he had made his point, Shōkan would speak after this strike, succesful or no. "In case you are wondering. My name is Shōkan Kawada, one of the last scion of my clan. You arrancar destroyed them. I intend to collect." He gave her a grim smile. "If you wish to survive this battle, I consider you not underestimate me."

One thing Shōkan couldn't abide was an opponent that couldn't take him seriously. There was honor in combat, a code among warriors, and this woman's dismissive attitude of his skills, her arrogant demeanor, was disrespectful to this code. There was also anger at her race, they had destroyed his clan... But, Shōkan had never seen it, he had come from so long ago, so this anger was almost non-existence. To him, there was only his duty.

[Lagos Oscuras]

A fascinating discovery when clashing her blade against his was that while the Shinigami himself did not budge...his sword would be slightly chipped as their blades clashed as a result of their differences in offensive stat. That informed her that he was stronger than she was physically. However, her spiritual power was enough to deal with that pesky blade of his. As she danced around him, she didn't expect a sudden burst of power. What was this?! She was sent flying through the air by the force of wind. Her eyes widened for a mere moment before she realized just what he was. He was suppressing his strength for just a fraction and releasing it. The gale sent her flying backwards, and she performed a backflip in midair...that was when she saw him vanish.

Danger. She sensed danger coming her path. She could predict his pattern thanks to her battle analysis and her experience with moving in fast movements. Also...it was not the first time she had seen Senka before. Forming an air platform under her hands, she used the technique Sonido Gaara to rapidly speed up the movement of one limb on her body...her right arm to make her move at the speed of 4000 for one moment as the Kawada came in. Her legs were outstretched and in that moment she had made her right arm rotate her 360 degrees as her Hierro infused legs would attempt to collide straight into the Kawada's face and avoid being hit in her vital spots. Seeing she had superior momentum thanks to her increase in speed and the enforcement of her iron skin, she would attempt to send him flying backwards...possibly through a tree or two. It was similar to a move in capoeria. 

That was close. If she had goofed around for a moment longer...the battle would have ended. However, thankfully she had the skills needed to defend herself. Sonido Gaara was a powerful skill. However, her right arm was now a bit sore thanks to using it in the manner she had. Quickly, she had pushed off the ground with her one hand to fling herself onto her feet and on solid ground. "Empty threats without the power to back up your claims. Kawada Shokan. I have no care of your clan. Seeing you exist it means we must have failed to exterminate you. Allow me to make sure there's one less Kawada before this day ends."

Lagos would take a moment to shake her right arm out. Thanks to her skills in pain tolerance and damage recovery, that would be rather fast. She was recovering her stamina from using the Sonido as well. Her enemy wasn't going all out serious yet. That was a shame. That grin on her face was gone though. Instead was a look of acknowledgement. "I won't call you my equal Shinigami. Although I will call you a warrior. I am simply just one of a greater caliber than yourself. Why don't you come at me again and I will show you...exactly why that is the case." Lagos reaffirmed her stance as she waited for the Shinigami to make a move.

She was around roughly eight feet away from the man now and she tried to evaluate his power further. He was suppressing his strength but released it for a mere moment before suppressing again. She had never met an individual like this. It was almost like Zegram...and his power. He was horribly weak when not in his Ressurecion...although this seemed a little bit different. What was Shokan Kawada? She didn't care. She would kill him...likely. Either that...or if she interested her enough, she might take him back to Las Noches. "Bring out your release Shinigami. You'll never defeat me without it."

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

Shōkan honestly wasn't expecting the quick reactions of the Arrancar to his assault, that implied a certain level of experience and skill, something he noted in the back of his mind. As her foot came screaming at his face with that insane speed, Shōkan wasn't able to move or dodge, it was much to fast, the only thing he could do as he saw her prepare to kick him, was tilt his head slightly downward, so that her strike would hit his forhead, not the soft cartilage of his nose.

In an instant, from chambering her arms in preparation for her thrust, to striking, her foot struck his face. there was considerable force behind it, like a wild animal striking. However, Shōkan was far beyond such levels of might, even with his reduced strength, simply flexing his back, neck, and shoulders, he was able to resist her strike almost completely. Apparently she had underestimated their disparage in strength, her arrogance was still shining through.

Shōkan used Shunpo Karin to swiftly move his right hand into position, where he swiftly gripped her ankle in an iron hold. Her skin, her Hierro, did not move at all, giving him a good estimate of what her spiritual strength was. At the least it was considerable strong. In this instance, it didn't quite matter however. Finesse was wonderful, useful, but sometimes, raw strength, might could not be overcome. He would educate her on this subject.

Thus far everything had happened in an instant. With Shunpo Karin, he had grasped her leg, and in the next moment, took that unbreakable grip, and fulng the pesky arrancar into the air. With his impressive might behind it, she would fly quite ways straight up. Immediately, with his zanpakuto in his left hand, Shōkan executed another of the Kawada's famed techniques. Using the same level of prowess shown thus far, but a bit more speed[350], as to catch her before she could evade, Shōkan flung his sword straight at her form with Shouwakusei.

With a speed and offensive force of double that which sent her up there[700], the blade would arrive extremely quickly. Even if she block with her zanpakuto, the blade would keep driving towards her, albeit blocked, pushing her even higher in the air. Shōkan wasn't quite finished however. Using his immense strength, Shōkan leapt towards her. Looking to slam his palm into the hilt of the zanpakuto grabbing it. "How is this for a weakling arrancar? I have slain better than you before you were ever born!"

He would be damned if she continued to claim this false superiority. He would show her his might. At this point, depending on how she was able to cope with the progressions, he would either twist, slinging her body off of his blade, towards the ground. Or push off of her, back towards solid ground. In all, the muscles in his left arm were ever so slightly fatigued from moving so swiftly, but it was just one movement, so it wasn't bad. He was prepared for anything.

[Lagos Oscuras]

Her kick had connected with the man's face...and he stood there as her foot collided with his forehead. He skid to a stop, using his muscular force to prevent himself from being launched backwards. In a blur, his right hand had wrapped around her leg before the found herself flung straight into the air. She took a deep breath as she twisted her body using her skill in acrobatics to make herself go straight. However...at this speed, she couldn't stop herself from flying up. "Kuso!" However, looking down, she saw that the Shinigami was preparing himself with his blade in hand.

"He's going to throw it at me?" As he raised his arm, he tossed the blade at her at a rapid speed. However, Lagos was still capable of moving. Using her left hand, she blocked the blade with her own as there was a rapid clashing and sparks appearing on her blade. It was indeed sending her farther up into the air and at an even faster speed. However, as the distance increased between the two, she could see him tense...preparing to jump. That fool leaped into a trap. As he leaped into the air, Lagos' right middle and index finger had pointed down below. "Bala." As the man was flying up, suddenly a giant and rapidly fast moving projectile the size of a small car had flew from her hand to attempt to slam into the Kawada. The blade was strong...she didn't fight it so much as a result. She let it push her above.

If it made contact, it would burn him as well as send him flying down to earth before it would make a large indent into the earth itself. It would then explode in a decently large blast. At this point, the blade had sent her nearly sixty feet in the air. As a result, it would begin to slow and lose momentum most likely. Soon enough, Lagos had reached her hand out to grasp the blade at the hilt before it would stop completely. "Reckless decisions. Again...I don't find you my equal. You've yet to land a solid blow on my body Shinigami." She looked at the sword she held before throwing it down. "Worthless. You can have that back."

Letting herself descend back to earth by walking, she kept her eyes on her foe. She would appear at the ground soon enough as the blade had long reached before she did. "Have you seen your arrogance yet Shinigami? Have you seen the power that I hold and why exactly it is you should fear it?" She hadn't really shown him anything yet. Although...he would be foolish to suspect that she didn't have anything greater. She hadn't even released her ressurecion yet. "You can't beat me without your release. Show me your Shikai Shinigami. Perhaps with it you could make me use my Ressurecion."

Her blade was slightly damaged...although it wasn't anything that was detrimental. "Show me this power that you Soul Reapers call sacred. Unless...it's a possibility you can't." Lagos had likely hit the nail right on the head. Surely this Shinigami wasn't so proud to believe he could defeat an Arrancar without his Shikai. This lead Lagos to the conclusion that he was incapable of doing so and as a result had devoted everything to his physical power. She had to admit...he wasn't half bad for a Shinigami in the physical department. However, he was definitely lacking in certain areas. "If you can't use your release...at least show me some spells or something of the matter. Please do."

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

As the bala came screaming at Shōkan in midair, he crossed his arms in an attempt to mitigate the damage. Taking the hit, he fell back to earth, burning slightly. His arms are moderately burned, if that had been a cero, it might have ended the fight right there. He shook his head, he kept forgetting he couldn't use kidou anymore, that, like all of his power, had been damaged. Today it was a costly mistake.

{Put This In The Record Player}

His opponent had made one mistake however, she was toying with him, she hadn't ended him when she had the chance. Shōkan was tired of holding everything back, like a great weight across his shoulders. As the arrogant arrancar continued talking, Shōkan mostly ignored her. Until the end. "Power? You wish to see my power?" Gripping his fallen blade, which had pierced the ground in front of him, Shōkan lifted it up, and faced his enemy.

He dashed at her, using the same speed he had shown thus far, considering the arrogance she had displayed, Shōkan predicted that she would let him attack, she wanted to see what he was going to do, that overconfidece would be her downfall. In the instant before he struck with his blade, he was maybe a yard away, everything changed. With a cry, he let go of that massive weight on his shoulders and let everything go.

White flames wildly danced around him, this would be sudden and rather surprising. In the same instant that he released his full power, mid strike at his unreleased speed, he disappeared in a shunpo... At his full speed [6125] directly behind her, and in this burst of speed and surprise, which was utterly and completely different from anything he had shown himself capable of to this point, in the instant he appeared he struck, slashing at her back from above with all of his massive strength.

Then, he utilized Senka, so that even if she somehow blocked or evaded his massive surprise strike, he would follow up, with unrelenting force. Moving at speeds far beyond anything the arrancar had shown, or that he himself had shown capable of, Shōkan would pierce her Saketsu, and Haketsui in one strike. And with his massive strength, he would spit this arrancar across his blade.

His speed, his savagery, his raw power, all of it had been released onto his enemy in a single moment. She had had her lofty visions shattered. Shōkan had shown his true might, and she would pay for her arrogance in this battle. She had underestimated him, and he had taken that, and another mile. "Does that suffice for power? Arrancar Noventa ey Nueve?" He asked with a fierce, predatory grin on his face. But the smile did not reach his eyes, his eyes were the same, hard and cold, burning with the same white flames that danced around him.

Shōkan's arms hurt from his burns. His entire body was slightly fatigued from moving at such monstrous speeds. He hurt from going all out. But that pain was music to his ears as he watch the arrancar take his blows. He would see her bleed.

[Lagos Oscuras]

Yes. Lagos wanted to see this Shinigami’s supposed power. The Shinigami grasped his blade and faced her. However, when he didn’t release...she was very disappointed. “It seems that this Shinigami has nothing special to show me.” Lagos had prepared for his next coming assault as she was tensed. However...suddenly she saw the white dancing flames. What was this?! Was this his release?! How did he use Shikai without uttering a word? It was unheard of! It was absurd! What was this power?! As the man had prepared a swing, Lagos had prepared herself...until he vanished into thin air. Where did he-

A slash. A powerful slash that ripped through her Hierro like it was paper. Blood spewed from her back and she gasped at the sudden realization of pain. However...she knew now that she had to move and get out of the way. As the Shinigami sliced her, she had used the Sin Sonido...the superior version of the technique as soon as she was hit by the blade. It was a technique that left its beginning and endless traceless to those underneath a certain amount of senses. Moving at 4000 speed as a result instead of 5,200 she had left a speed doppelganger as she appeared behind the Shinigami. The pain...that power was tremendous. However...Sin Sonido was what would save her from being slaughtered in this battle.

Sin Sonido as a result of its mastery had made sure it would indeed be untraceable. As the Kawada would thrust his hands forward to use the Senka...there was no trace of the foxy woman. Lagos had appeared behind the man though...silently and without word. Forming a condensed energy in her mouth, Lagos thought “Cero” before attempting to fire an extremely large blast straight for the Shinigami’s back. At her offensive strength, her Cero was massive and it would be much more powerful than the Bala she released earlier. It would be an incinerating heat which would burn and tear flesh. Thanks to its mass it would push the Shinigami through three trees before stopping its course and exploding if he were to be unable to mitigate this attack.

Lagos had panted at that moment due to the sensation of pain. He had sliced her deeply and her wounds were extensive. Her skin refused to part and as a result her blood sprayed instead of coming out normally. “I have underestimated you. Although...don’t think I’ll be doing such a thing again. If you think that’s power?! I’ll show you the true meaning of power!” Lagos had reached up to her fox mask/helmet and slowly pulled it over her face as it seemed to tighten and fit on. The mask’s eyes glowed a sickly yellow before suddenly the spiritual power of Lagos raised tremendously. “Sly! VULPECAS!”

Suddenly, an aura enveloped her as nine white appendages would burst through it and cease. Lagos stood there now with a Naginata in hand standing around 32 centimeters with nine flowing white tails behind her frame. Her hands were no longer human like as they were claws. Her cerulean eyes shined through her mask and her silver hair was longer...going all the way down her back. “Fuerza Del Mundo.” Releasing another burst of Reiatsu, there was suddenly a gigantic dome of water that surrounds them...moving at extremely rapid speeds. It would buffet him...splash him. Then...it would make a bubble around the Kawada...or attempt to. His speed within this area would be cut in half and he would have no ability to step or even breath. In other words...his impressive speed as well as his stepping techniques were all but gone.

Lagos looked up to the man with a glare...as suddenly, ten water bullets from 360 degrees and all moving at the speed of 1000 would shoot out at him...making it nigh impossible to dodge would come in an attempt to pierce his flesh. She was going to show this Shinigami the meaning of true power...the bastard. She could attack him while inside her water. It was trivial. How was he going to survive this? “This is what real power is bastard. This is the power I’ve amassed. Now...show me what else you have before I crush you like a pitiful worm!”

Technique Name: [Force Of The World]

Class: []

Technique Type: [N/A]

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [Arrancar]

Technique Element: [N/A]

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): [The ability to create a tidal wave from her tails upon swinging them. This allows the fox to create and generate water from her tails to flood an area 100 feet in water. The fox much like her lava is capable of manipulating the water after creation at a near supernatural level to do a vast plethora of things to it. She could launch it like a projectile, protect herself with the water by increasing the density and making it a wall, changing it's shape and form as she sees fit. She may of course also use this in synchronized combination such as with her magma to turn the magma into stone...while someone is inside it for example. The water is directed like the magma with the movements of her tails and weapon. Oddly enough, the user when inside this water and coming out is not wet whatsoever and seems to be immune to drowning within it. Manipulation of this water will last until the end of the release or unless the user no longer wishes to control it. Water manipulated at this stage with all 9 tails moves at the speed of 900. 100 speed per tail. In case of one tail being severed, her weapon may substitute as a tail. ]

How to use technique (How is it activated?): [The user swings their tail creating a tidal wave, and from that moment it is freely manipulated as the user sees fit. The wave is 100 feet high as it washes over the environment submerging most of the area in water. Thus 600 reiatsu is lost.]

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) (

1. The water may be diluted with things such as oil, blood, and other substances to lessen control over the water. This is the most exploitable weakness to the water to cease control over the liquid.

2. The disaster does not discriminate between friend or foe and does make the environment extremely hazardous. Although the user may be immune to the effects of this technique, when trudging through the liquid, it cuts their speed in half and makes it impossible to use a step technique whilst inside.

3. If the user's tails are bound, the user may not manipulate the water nearly to the extent with the weapon as compared to the tails. When a tail is severed, portions of the water is lost control of from the user. Although this is unlikely, this means that if the user has been attacked and has lost a tail/tails, they are unable to manipulate the water to the fullest extent. Of course, this means that if the user is bound or unable to move, they are also unable to move the water.

4. Those that have a 50% higher offensive stat than her highest offensive stat will find that they may breath through this water and are incapable of becoming wet, and like Lagos are immune to it. However, they too may only move at half speed and will find it impossible to step while within this liquid substance.

5. When controlling multiple disasters at the same time, the tails must divide control so control over multiple disasters is more sloppy and can lead to ineffective attacks being made on an enemy. The user of course must concentrate on all of these movements and as such must be careful not to lose focus on manipulating her power.

6. Although the user is not able to be wet, the user can be shocked through electricity if within the water. The user of course is exploitable through this mean of attack. Boiling the water also is exploitable as is freezing, etc.

7. Magma if for whatever reason comes into contact with the water while the user is still within it, they may be boiled alive, and or trapped in a tomb of stone as the magma cools down. Unlikely, but possible.

8. Speed must be divided and control is divided with other disasters.

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

One moment, Shōkan was bisecting the arrancar, and the next, she was gone. No sound, no visual ques, just gone. In the split second Shōkan's mind was filled with thoughts, 'Left? no, Right? no.' It was only due to his skill and experience in battle, that he was able to come to the conclusion 'Behind.' It was the only option that made sense after all, it was what he did. Tactically, it was the optimal position.

Even as these thoughts crossed his mind, and he began turning, he heard the tell-tale sound of a cero forming. 'Shi-' Shōkan wasn't able to reacting in time to block it, the most he was able to do was to bring his blade in between himself and the beam of energy. Due to his lateness however, he was still hit by a portion of it's power, and blown backwards, through a tree. Barely flexing his muscles in time to avoid the damage.

"Gah, the burns hurt worse than the tree did." He should have expected it, Arrancars were wily creatures. He had fallen on the blade he had just used against his opponent. He wouldn't make that mistake again. As if to prove just why he shouldn't, the arrancar chose just that moment to release. The powerful waters surrounding him flashing into being were testament to her power. Shōkan wouldn't be soon to forget it.

Standing up, Shōkan winced slightly, the burns to his chest, along with those on his arms were starting to take a toll, the water actually helped soothe them aswell, but considering the sheer power flowing through his veins, after so long without it, with an immense force of will, Shōkan was able to put it on the backburner... For now. Grimacing, he glared at the enemy arrancar. The fox like being, in her release was forming water bullets al around him. At least he could breath for some reason. Looking at the woman, Shōkan had to give a grin.

It wasn't a smart idea to try and trap a Kawada in a body of water. Slashing with his sword, Shōkan cried internally 'Kyohaku!' and split the entire body of water perfectly in half."You talk to much" Shōkan said to the rather arrogant woman as he dashed towards her, with all of his immense speed, possibly even blurring to her eyes. In an instant he was nearly there, and also in an instandt, her water bullets hit him, but it seemed like the water just couldn't affect his monstrous strength.

Grinning, Shōkan slashed at her with his zanpakuto, diagonally, from his bottom left to upper right. But even as he swung, it was a feint, Shōkan used his considerable battle instincts, and skill in Hakuda to launch a kick with his left foot. If she attempted to block his blade, the immense disparage in strength would cause her to have to move if she wanted to star on her feet, wherein his strike would catch her in the side with monstrous power. If she attempted to dodge, his kick would follow her with speed she couldn't hope to match.

Hopefully, Shōkan's ability to resist her release would catch her off guard enough for his strike to land, if it wasn't, he still had his back up, a kick with all of his considerable strength behind it. All the while he kept on the look out for that strange step technique she must have used earlier, he wouldn't be caught off guard by it again. His muscles ached, and he had to take deep breaths from going at such high speeds, but he hadn't been doing it long, and was able to keep the pace up.

[Lagos Oscuras]

Lagos witnessed her water wrap around him...and indeed for that time period his movements would be cut in half and step unavailable as 100 feet of water entrapped him. However, she witnessed as the water was blown away by a massive force? That didn’t matter much to the fox woman. The water was still useable and as long as she had it, she was undefeatable. However...his rapid speed concerned her. He was coming in at an intense speed. This just wouldn’t do. As her water bullets fired, he would notice something likely very quick. This water could not drown him...that was true.

However, with bullets moving at the speed of 1000, they were faster than Quincy arrows. As a result, the water still had physical mass and while he was stronger, they would still likely hurt at least a bit. As the water simply splat against him and seemed to fail, Lagos made it very clear she wanted to slow his movements down. By using her tails, suddenly the water that had slapped against him would wrap around his leg joints like bindings. That would slow him down thanks to the density of her spiritually created water and as a result stop his assault. That would make him half his current speed and it would allow Lagos to retreat.

Leaping backwards, Lagos had curled all nine of her tails inward. Then...there would be the sound of whirring. Bullets upon bullets of water had flown to pelt repeatedly from behind and above the Kawada as Lagos looked unamused. “Shi-ne” Her water would attempt to wrap around him again and this time...she knew more about his little strength tricks. It would wrap around his arms and legs before pulling them out as all of the water converged to make it extremely dense. Her nine tails at that moment would aim out as they all gained yellow balls at their tips which compressed. “Lagos Nine.” The balls of energy converged and fired immediately turning into a singular cero beam but with the power of nine separate cero.

If this Cero hit him, it would be the end and it would likely kill him. It was difficult to control...but if she aimed it straight? The blast would attempt to blow him away as well as disintegrate everything within its grasp. Assuming it hit him, the water wrapped around his arms and legs would also be disintegrated. This beam was so ridiculously large, that it was the size of a house. While not an actual technique as compared to nine different Cero, it would become a powerful weapon. While she did not possess Cero Oscuras or Gran Rey Cero, she would use this to have greater quantity and power of Cero. Now...to see if he would survive. The beams of heat would be extremely hot just from being near its frame. Getting hit by it must be absolutely dreadful.

[Shōkan Kawada Ⅺ]

Before Shōkan could get close enough to execute his offense, those water bullets hit him and wrapped around his limbs, attempting to draw them out. Simultaneously, all the water in the area began to converge upon him. 'This could be bad' To escape, Shōkan had to think quickly, so before the water could incapacitate him, he wrenched his arms free, and slammed his fists together, creating a shockwave of sheer power that repelled the water away from him. Such was his immense strength.

Seeing as he was no longer surrounded by the water, however briefly, Shōkan quickly shunpo'd away from the vast amounts of the deadly substance, right beside Lagos. It appeared that she was about to attempt to obliterate him to tiny pieces, judging from the multiple cero forming. Thankfully, he was no longer in the line of fire. Immediately after he appeared next to her, Shōkan swung his fist with every bit of his massive speed he could muster, with every ounce of his considerable force he could generate.

Directly at her face. He was so fed up with this arrancar, he completely forewent his blade, instead going for the far quicker jab. Shockwaves would flow off of such a blow, so that even if she attempted to dodge, it would still be felt. Then, the moment that attack was thrown, landing or no, Shōkan would use shunpo once more, at this close range, it would be instantaneous movement. He would move directly behind her.

Slicing with his sword to bisect her neck. Depending on how his previous blow played out, he might not even have to, if her skull was a pulped mess. If she had blocked, it would be this, if she dodged, it would be this. All of the events described happened in the blink of an eye, such was his sheer power. He had to end this now, otherwise, the strain on his body would begin to truly take its toll, he would no longer be able to continue fighting at the same level, and once this advantage was lost, it was all over.

[Lagos Oscuras]

The water wasn’t working. Damn this Shinigami. He had at that moment quite literally slammed his arms together to scatter her water through a powerful shockwave. She could feel the shockwaves and had growled as she looked at the Shinigami closely...preparing to attack him once more. He wasn’t going to be able to stop her forever. Well, it turned out he didn’t have to. He had used the Shunpo, that much she knew. Although she was expecting more of him to either appear behind her or farther away to gain distance.

It was at this moment...Lagos knew she fucked up. A fist collided with her face, and there was a slight delay as she had the time to say one word. “Shit.” Then, with a tremendous shockwave force, her head exploded and cracked into pieces. Somehow, a man standing on a nearby cliff had screamed, “ONE PUUUUUUUUUUNCH!” The punch had quite literally exploded her head. However, the body at that moment had wobbled left and right before falling straight to the floor at Shokan’s feet. This Shinigami was either stronger than she had initially thought, or she was just so cocky that she had given him an opening not once...but twice.

Somewhere in the near distance...a head would slam through a few trees and then into a corn field. Blood would spray from the body which laid on the floor and the water that had remained simply fell against the floor. Shokan had won in a battle of brute strength. It was due to her cockyness as well as her pride that had caused her to lose this battle. Although, she was able to get a few good hits in, that was all that she was able to do. Lagos lay defeated. Well, more like she laid as a corpse on the ground for Shokan to witness.

However, before the battle ended, a man with a guitar followed by four others had suddenly been in the background playing blaring music, directed at Shokan. The body had stopped moving entirely except for an occasional twitch of the fingers. It seemed that Shokan had dealt with the problem that he was sent here for. Lagos however...was “dead” but not dead. As if Las Noches would allow her to die. A garganta had opened, sucking her head in first before another garganta opened to swallow her body whole. Then, finally there was a third garganta that sucked in all of the band members.
