[Wycliff]

ven though it was the middle of a beautiful night with a bright full moon and and empty sky so that one could see the stars Wycliff wasn't too excited to be out at the moment. While this was his type of night he had been forced to do one thing he really didn't enjoy, hollow patrol. It was a task that he had taken to help out someone in his squad so they could rest up after being hurt recently, but even still he hated doing this. Not that he wanted hollows to live, but this job was so boring. Half the time nothing happened and even when it did the hollows were usually weak ones that only took a swing or two to kill. These sort of nights seemed rather wasted to him in all honesty.

Instead of watching a movie or hanging out with some of his squad mates Wycliff was forced to sit here on a roof top in the middle of a city waiting to see if he sensed hollows or anything else that needed to be taken care of. Really, if it wasn't for the threat of a hollow attacking him while he slept he would have been long passed out. Muttering to himself as he watched the people walk by underneath him. “I'm so bored, dam ya hollows, can't even show up for me to purify ya.” It seemed as if tonight would just be another quiet and boring night, not that he really complained about it, still he wished he was doing something else instead of simply waiting for this to be over.

As the night rolled on Wycliff didn't even sense anything, there was no trace of any sort of spiritual pressure anywhere and hollows didn't seem to want to come out. Looking down at the watch he had he saw that it was almost time to call it over, his shift would be done in less than half an hour and he could go home and nap. Yet almost as if like clockwork a hollow breached from Hueco mundo into the human world and more specifically right in this town. Letting out a heavy sigh he was annoyed by this. Simply for the fact that the hollow had to show up so late in his shift that it would take more time to kill it and come back than was left in his shift.

Knowing full well his responsibility he went towards the hollow, from what he could tell it was a weak one that wouldn't take that much effort to kill that being said he still rushed hoping that he wouldn't have to work overtime. As he got closer to the hollow he could still see that the garganta was still open, but no matter he had a job to do. Drawing his blade he charged at the hollow using it's pure white blade to slice it in the back of the neck killing it instantly. “Well that was easy.” He said as he looked back at where the garganta was, not knowing if anything else would come out of it or if this was the end of it so he could head home.

In the Garganta itself, Kazuna had been walking to inspect the onslaught of Hollows onto the Human world. He felt a strange sensation, noticing their spiritual pressure be snuffed out one by one. It was an odd sensation to him, but he nonetheless continued on his way. As the moonlight soon shined upon the entrance of the Garganta, Kazuna stood there inspecting the general condition of where they were. It seemed like it was somewhere in Asia, but the location alone was far from important. Thinking about it, he really wanted to find out what was happening to all the Hollows pouring through.

Kazuna took a deep breath and tried to sense for any flares of spiritual pressure, his energy sensory being somewhat better than average he could at least tell that something was up. He dropped down, softly landing on a building and letting himself down. He was waiting for anyone to show himself. As the Noveno Espada, he felt that whoever was reducing the life expectancy of these Hollows was either strong enough to cause some damage to their efforts in the long run although some Hollows were disposable quite frankly. Kurakusabyou was on the back of his robe, towering over him.

Admiring the moonlight of the night sky, he looks around as very few Hollows actually come from the Garganta. This is a slight disappointment to Kazuna. There was a disheartening feeling about not having the Hollows separate flesh from bone. Normally Kazuna did not care, but he was overseeing the progress of these Hollows and someone was getting in his way. Sure he was the weakest Espada and quite clearly, untrained from the looks of his readiness and alertness, but he was still an Espada nonetheless. Waiting on the building he softly spoke, "If anyone is there, I would prefer it if you did not interfere with the progress of these Hollows." Kazuna sighed, not wishing to announce himself as an Espada yet.

[Wycliff]

After a few more moments it seemed that nothing else was coming out of the garganta that he had found. “Huh, guess that's that.” While he really didn't want to leave this out here in the open like this if nothing else was coming out of it he had to report it and wait for someone from squad twelve to come and check it out. After all this was right up their alley, a garganta that wouldn't close. Odd, but not really his concern, after all if hollows weren't going to keep coming out of it, he really didn't see the harm in leaving it alone for the moment, after all it wasn't as if this thing could harm humans just the things that spawned from it could.

He was just about ready to head back to where he had to meet his replacement when he heard a voice speak out loud saying something about leaving the hollows alone. This stopped Wycliff instantly as this meant that someone knew exactly what was happening, more so the voice sounded as if it was coming from above him and not at the street level. Whoever or what ever this was knew exactly what hollows were and wanted them to roam free in the city. While he didn't know the exact reasons as to why someone or something wanted to do this, he wasn't about to let it pass. Sure he was laid back when it came to a lot of things, heck right now he wished he was on a beach sleeping on the sands, but when it came to hollows he knew better than to simply let things slide.

In a loud voice he cried out and upwards to where he thought he had heard the voice come from. He wasn't exactly too sure as to what building the person was standing on or even if he was standing on a building to begin with. “Sorry mate, can't do that ya feel me? Can't let dem hollows be munching on living souls, dat ain't good ya get it? “ Wycliff continued to look upwards in case of being attacked, he couldn't think of too many things that would side with hollows, but the one he could think of that would side with them wasn't exactly something he wanted to deal with.

Arrancar's he had been lucky and hadn't seen one or encounter one just yet, but he had heard the stories of what they could do and how strong they actually are. In all honesty they sounded like more trouble than they were worth especially those that were espada, they claimed to be some of the strongest arrancar's that existed and he really didn't feel like having to go up against someone of that power simply because he was covering for one of his squad mates. “Lissen man, come on out and we can talk about this, ya?” As he waited to see what would happen his left hand went into his jacket pocket pulling out a small bag of pop rocks trying to calm his nerves down a bit.

[Ailene Haschiro]

Kazuna had not been in the mood to discuss anything, but given the circumstances, he wanted to see what he was dealing with if this broke out into a fight. Sensing the close proximity of this individual's spiritual pressure, he walked to the ledge and simply dropped down about 20 ft across from him. Kazuna made no effort to hide Kurakusabyou as the scythe itself was taller than him, simply letting it rest on his back. He gave him a cold apathetic look. "Well...here I am. I see you are the one killing the Hollows in this city.", looking around seeing that there were no Hollows to back him up.

He shook his head. He spoke softly, but with a hint of scorn, "Soul Reaper, I presume?". Kazuna asked inquisitively, but only to confirm his suspicion. There had to be something otherworldly about this man as not just anybody could take out multiple Hollows. Kazuna knew that if he was, he may have to try and dispose of him. Kazuna knew, however, that is own capacity of Spiritual Energy ran out extremely quickly. In case it turned out to be a fight, Kazuna could not let this be long term. At this point, he was going to wait for a response from this individual before acting.

[Wycliff]

It seemed that his assumption was right, even if he hadn't met any arrancar's just from what he knew of them he could tell that the person who came downwards with a massive scythe was an arrancar. The white clothing and the remnants of a mask that rounded the bottom part of this man's face clearly hinted at what he was. Great, first time meeting a arrancar and they have to be protecting hollows, man my luck sucks. Wycliff thought as he sized up the arrancar, it seemed like at the moment that he wouldn't be attacked out right, but that could change any moment.

Keeping his hand on the hilt of his blade he smiled at the arrancar and kept his distance. “Ya, I'm a reaper, can't ya tell?” Wycliff was hinting at the very obvious black robes he was wearing along with the fact that he had a zan in hand. It seemed a bit silly to think that an arrancar wouldn't know what a soul reaper would look like, but then again there could be so many different things out there that he might not know that seemed obvious to others, either way right now there was an arrancar in front of him and he had to deal with that one way or another. Maybe using his words and a bit of a bluff could get him out of this situation without having to fight or at least scare off the arrancar 

“Lissen bro, I can't let ya have hollows roaming around and hurting folks. So ya can take them back with ya and head on outa here or I'm gunna have to get rough with ya.” Wycliff really didn't want to have to fight an arrancar, or anyone for that matter, but if it came down to it he would. “Lissen bro, don't know what ya goal is and don't care it ain't my job to care really, so tell ya what, I'll give ya till the count of three to for you and those hollows to get on back to where ya came from and I'll take my leave as well. Sounds good ya?”  With that said Wycliff slowly started to count to three, he didn't know what would happen when he finsihed but he was getting ready

With that said and the counting started Wycliff made his stance, normally he would try to smooth things over, but he had a feeling that after taking care of all the hollows that this arrancar had brought over things wouldn't go so easy for him. With that in mind Wycliff kept a firm grip on his blade and watched the movements that the arrancar would do. It wasn't wise to leave this much open time between making a decision, but he at least hoped that there could be a way to settle this without spilling too much blood, if that wasn't the case he had a few tricks up his sleeves that he could use to beat down this foe.

[Ailene Haschiro]

Kazuna continued to look at Wycliff with little interest. Perhaps it was part of his nihilism, perhaps not, he himself was not entirely sure. What he did know ,however, was that he could not go back and say that he submitted to just any Soul Reaper. He was an Espada. A chosen Arrancar in a group of the elite. Who was this Soul Reaper to tell him that he would cut him a deal? It was unheard of and Kazuna quite frankly felt a little insulted before rearing back to his general attitude. He thought to himself, "God, I am almost starting to sound like Myza." as he shook his head in disappointment to himself. He placed his hand on Kurakusabyou, almost wanting to make the premature move, but Kazuna knew little about the power of this Soul Reaper. Sure, he was the Noveno Espada, but who was to say that this was not a stronger individual.

"Listen bro, don't know what ya goal is and don't care it ain't my job to care really, so tell ya what, I'll give ya till the count of three to for you and those hollows to get on back to where ya came from and I'll take my leave as well. Sounds good ya?", made Kazuna raise an eyebrow at Wycliff. He knew that Soul Reapers were quick to make demands, but this. This was something else. Standing with his hand still on Kurakusabyou, Kazuna used his sub-par energy sensing abilities to feel out the strength of this Soul Reaper. Kazuna got a moderate feeling on Wycliff. He was not sure whether he was holding back, but Kazuna knew one thing. If he was holding back, he had to end this if this broke out into a fight.

Kazuna began to smile somewhat as he stood there as Wycliff supposedly counted to three. "I see that neither of us will back down from our position. Well if this is the case, I hope you are more interesting than prior Soul Reapers who picked a fight and died because of it. However, before we get on with this, may I have your name Soul Reaper? Mine is Kazuna Hashiro. Noveno Espada.". Kazuna himself was confused. He never stood by trivial things such as honor or even something as mundane as justice. He was intrigued by this Soul Reaper was all. If this was meant to be a fight, perhaps he could get some new training out of it. In the end, everyone was a tool. You just need to know how to use each individual one correctly. Kazuna gripped the hilt of Kurakusabyou tighter and moved the scythe to his side preparing for any potential strike or even remark from the Soul Reaper.

[Wycliff]

Damn it, it seemed that it was just his luck that this arrancar decided not to simply go and leave, letting out a small sigh he readied himself for the fight that he knew was about to happen. Still before he could even get ready something rather pleasant came from this arrancar, a formal greeting followed by him asking the name of his foe. While he wasn't exactly to pleased with the fact that he had to face an espada at least it seemed that the arrancar had manors and was pleasant enough. Under different circumstances Wycliff was sure that the two of them could have at the very least enjoyed a talk with one another, but that was neither here nor there.

“Ya, names Wycliff, Wycliff Manson, Squad fou....” Wycliff stopped himself there for a moment given that his transfer from squad four over to squad thirteen had just happened that he forgot that he wasn't a member of that squad anymore. “Squad thirteen, fourth seat. Sorry bout that, just moved ya know and I got the habit of saying my old rank stuck in my head still.” Being able to talk just for a bit longer allowed him to calm his nerves just a bit more before the actual fight started. Wycliff wasn't exactly too sure as to what he should do, but at the very least he had to try something.

Holding his blade with both hands he rushed towards the arrancar his blade tilted towards the side and held at a waist high level. As he got in close he would swing the blade right to left attempting to slice right through the arrancar at where the center of the sternum would be. This was an easy to see and telegraphed attack that he knew the arrancar would both see and be able to react to. The goal of this attack wasn't to hurt the arrancar it was to see if the arrancar could react in time to dodge it and how they would dodge it. Yet this wasn't the only attack that Wycliff had prepared.

As he had been charging towards Kazuna mentality he had been reciting a kido spell in mind. Arise god of thunder! Awake mother of storms! Unleash the lighting on the sinners! Hado #4: Byakurai When the tip of his blade sword was pointed directly in front of him a bolt of lighting would quickly fire out and towards the arrancar. All of this would be said without a word or a sign that something was about to happen. Wycliff didn't like being so hush hush about his kido, but this was an espada he was fighting, there wasn't a reason for him to be so reserved when it came to attacks.

Kazuna noted the name of Wycliff. It was not often that he asked for the name of an opponent. The fact that not only was he recipient to the exchange of name and rank, but he also did not attack right away upon hearing "Espada". Most would strike right away upon hearing that rank, but this Shinigami was polite enough to reciprocate manners. This was odd even for Kazuna. Not just the fact that he was rather laid back, but that Kazuna himself saw this as more of a chance for improvement rather than a glorious battle. Then again, this is how Kazuna saw every fight he was a participant in.

Kazuna watched Wycliff rush at him with his blade striking in a simple way that was rather easy to dodge. With that being said, Kazuna kicked backward, trying to get out of melee range. He presumed that Wycliff was only trying to test his reaction speed. Incredibly analytical in the pressure of combat, Kazuna presumed that this was not the end of the attack. He presumed that Wycliff had something planned as the blade of the Zanpakutou motioned to him. Kazuna stopped his momentum and stood with Kurakusabyou in front of him, holding the Zanpakutou diagonally. 

As suspected, there was more to the attack as a discharge of lightning emerged from the blade with no indication. Kazuna smirked and used a Sonido to amplify his step, traveling at roughly 600 speed, Kazuna moved in a slightly curved motion to avoid the Kido entirely, eventually stopping behind Wycliff before turning around and raising his hand. The unique sound of a Cero could be heard as a small purple light began to emerge from Kazuna's hand. His gaze still apathetic and without any form of pleasure or sadness in the act, Kazuna softly spoke, "Cero." as the Cero finally erupted from his hand, intent on swallowing the Soul Reaper in front of him. Kazuna knew that he would regret this if the Cero did not make contact as this would be extremely taxing.

It seemed that Kazuna could dodge, but this wasn't a big worry, Wycliff had expected as much given that the attack that he did was easy to read and even easier to dodge, nothing really tricky about this attack say for the simple fact that a random Byakurai  was used to try and shoot him. Seeing the sonido happen followed by the sound of a cero charging up right behind him. A sound that he was familiar with after dealing with a few menos he knew exactly what to do, he had to dodge. Using a shumpo he was able to dodge to the left of the attack stepping out of range of the attack and landing to the side of Kazuna.

Turning around he held a smile before swinging his blade right at the Arrancar, the distance between the two wasn't that large, but far away enough that Wycliff couldn't hit Kazuna with his fists, so he had to resort to using his blade to swipe at the arrancar. This again wasn't a strong attack, it was simply him just trying to do a light hit. Wycliff was still testing the water, with this person. He still wasn't 100% invested in the fight still. There was a chance that the arrancar would run away, but maybe not. Even still there was another swing aimed at the arrancar and he would have to react unless he wanted to be cut.

OOC: I did receive permission from both parties involved to join this thread.

Adolf sprinted outside of the conveniently located Garganta, realizing Kazuna had gone through it, and ended up fairly close by to the current battle that was sparking. He had stepped through the other side shortly after Kazuna had fired his Cero, and had picked up that it was indeed the Noveno who had used it. What exactly is going on, Adolf thought to himself before exiting the Garganta, Is he in combat or something? And if so, what's the need for a Cero? After entering the new area, Adolf decided it be best if he didn't close his means of arriving.

He stayed around the same spot, observing the current fight from a distance. Best to not get involved if he really didn't need to. That being said, he decided to keep his mouth shut for the time being, though he didn't do anything to mask his spiritual pressure. Adolf had the mindset that, because they were focused on a fight, then they might not have put forth the effort to sense his being there, if neither of them had noticed his entrance. Of course, whether or not this was the case was up for grabs. The Octavo decided to watch the Shinigami, having already known the absolute basics of what Kazuna was capable of. Best to observe a possible opponent if get the chance, right? Getting a rough estimate of his strengths isn't exactly something that's easy to pass up if the opportunity presented itself.

Kazuna was confident that the Cero would at least provide some damage to the Shinigami. He obviously showed himself to be competent enough to perform Kido mentally which was a great threat to Kazuna. As he used the Sonido and followed it up with a Cero, Kazuna was intending to fight this shinigami head on. A shame too, if they weren't at odds, Kazuna would not have minded getting a drink sometime. Perhaps another time when the hate between the two races isn't as prevalent. However, that time was not now. Right now Kazuna was focused on combat.

As he released the Cero, Kazuna stood valiantly until he noticed out of the corner of his eye, the blur of Wycliff. With both interest and disgust, Kazuna looked over at the Shinigami who had casually dodged his cero. There was some scorn behind it, but Kazuna was more preoccupied with the blade that was being swung at him. Kazuna knew he had low energy reserves so he could not dilly dally for too long. Kazuna tilted his scythe downward before he raised Kurakusabyou's hilt to the approximate angle of the strike to parry the strike in an unconventional way. The blade facing downward, he simultaneously tilted the hilt upward so that the blade may cleave Wycliff. While yes, it may not be the best strategy, Kazuna was a little pressed for time. After all, Wycliff did not seem to take this seriously. During all of this he softly spoke, "I will admit. Dodging my cero point blank, you certainly are not new on the job.". If Kazuna was gonna fight, he was going to atleast make some conversation, hopefully before things got too serious.

[Wycliff]

As his blade come into contact with the hilt of the scythe it was plain to see that at the very least the arrancar was strong enough block Wycliff's sword swings. Wycliff really didn't want to draw out a fight with sword skills against such a large weapon and him knowing how physically weak that he was. Using shumpo to step back narrowly avoiding being cleaved by the scythe. This was different than fighting against someone with a sword, Wycliff was use to that, it was easy to keep track of the blade and where it would be going, with such a large weapon being able to use to block and attack with such a distance was a bit new to him and rather annoying.

He let out a sigh knowing that trying to even fight with a sword wasn't going to work out well for him, while he wasn't doubting his skills as a swordsman he had never fought with someone who used such a large weapon. Getting use to the range and the overall distance that it had would take some time, time he really didn't have to waste. “Yea, i've been around for a while now ya know.” It was strange to hear that this Arrancar wanted to talk a bit, maybe there could be a fall back between the two and they both could leave that was his thought till he saw the other one.

Another figure dressed in white and with a mask fragment and an easily seen weapon. It seemed as if this Espada wasn't alone. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit, as if I didn't already have to deal with one of these guys I got another one now too, fuck all I wanted to do was hit up the beach and sleep after this damn it. Looking at that Arrancar Wycliff steeled himself as he drew back away his left hand letting his right hand hold his blade. Arise god of thunder! Awake mother of storms! Unleash the lighting on the sinners! Hado #4: Byakurai. From his left hand he would fire this out towards Kazuna, however it was slightly off, if Kazuna did nothing it would miss him enterily. Wycliff's real target was the Arrancar in the back. It wasn't fair, but a surprise attack would be the best way to deal with that arrancar. The Arrancar that kept himself back if he didn't move would find a Byakurai heading right to hit him dead in the center of his forehead.

For now Wycliff knew that he might have to deal with the arrancar using his kido, it was honestly the best thing he could do given that he wasn't too sure that he could even beat them. For now he had to be on the defensive as he probably just invited a second fighter to try and fight him right out of the blue. Wycliff hadn't forgotten about Kazuna however. Following up his Byakurai Wycliff used Hado #34: Kongōbaku casting the kido mentally. The ball of molten magma would fly out at Kazuna and explode outwards. Maybe just getting one of them on the defensive and moving could prove to be helpful to beating them, heck he didn't want to beat them at this point he just wanted to get away.

Adolf was able to catch the glance in his direction from the Shinigami, and mentally prepared himself. Though it wasn't clear as to whether something was going to be coming his way, better to be safe than sorry, right? Seeing Wycliff jump back was enough to set paranoia in motion. It's not that Adolf didn't trust the Soul Reaper, as he wanted to do everything in his power to be able to. Though seeing his acquaintance in combat with him doesn't exactly set up for the best first impression. Adolf grew fairly cautious, and looked for the areas around him. Depending on what had been coming, what would be the effective ways to dodge it all? Generally moving to the sides wouldn't be a bad idea, even upwards might work in a time like this, depending on what Wycliff was about to do. He seemed to be more of a ranged fighter in the first place, so there wasn't too much of a worry with him charging. Adolf lifted his sheathed blade a bit towards his chest area, and developed a slight combat stance. Then he heard it. 

Wycliff had launched a large bolt of lightning in what appeared to be Kazuna's direction at first glance. The loud boom of the Kido echoed around them, and this was far more than enough to cause Adolf to lose it. He quickly dropped to his knees, disregarding everything that he had originally planned, and tightly covered his ears with his hands, dropping Desamor. He screamed as loud as he could on instinct, though in hind's sight, that wasn't really going to do much to help the situation at all. He stared down at the ground on the verge of tears, his breathing extremely sporadic. He had pretty much broken down, unable to focus on really anything else but the boom he had just heard. A few seconds after Adolf had taken a bit to calm himself down, he stared up to the Shinigami, and, through the tears, there was what seemed to be a look of pure hatred growing on Adolf's face. Of all of the things he could've done to attack him, why did he have to choose that one specific attack? He quickly grabbed Desamor, and stood up. He didn't want to have to fight at all, really. But "obviously" this situation had "clearly" called for it.

The one redeeming quality of combat; the fact that he never has to be lonely during it. Though, this was mostly due to the abilities he'd gain access to, it was still something great. That, as well as being fueled for the current hatred towards the Shinigami, Adolf saw this as the perfect time to really "get involved" with the current fight at hand. He held Desamor to his side, and gently grabbed onto the grip of the katana. As he did, the ribbons holding the weapon itself inside of the scabbard started to glow a faint pink; the same color of his reiatsu. His grip tightened, and he started to try to tug the weapon out from the wooden casing it was in. The ribbons began to light up a bit of a brighter pink, though still showed a strong amount of resistance. It was strange to think that this was the first time Adolf had needed to "resort" to using this in combat. This, he thought, will make for a great memory. Adolf opened his mouth once again, though this time to speak. "Shatter the Bonds, Desamor." As he had said this, the ribbons seemed to dissolve, leaving behind a small trace of pink still in the air around him. After all of the ribbons had dissolved, the remaining aura from them began to slowly circle around Desamor's hilt, gradually picking up in speed, until it appeared to be a solid pink ring. After a bit, the ring closed in on Desamor, completely encasing the weapon in what seemed to be Adolf's reiatsu. He then pulled on the weapon one final time, and it slid out with ease.

Upon the first inch or so being revealed to the surrounding area, the weapon released a large, white flash, definitely capable of blinding those who stood too close to him. The light wouldn't really have that much of an effect on the other two, as they were a fair distance away. After the light had be released, it quickly faded into a thin smoke. While it wasn't thick enough to constrict air flow, it was thick enough to lose Adolf inside of it. Or rather, what he had become. Deciding this was the perfect time to use it, Adolf utilized Sonido, all before the smoke had cleared. While his starting location wasn't clear, his ending location was. Adolf had seemed to reappear in front of Wycliff, in what seemed to be a crouching stance. Desamor, now attached to his arm, was outstretched along the ground, to where the tip of the katana would be able to make contact with the Shinigami, should he slash up, and be enough to hurt him without leaving any serious wounds. And this is exactly what Adolf had done. He stood up quickly, running his blade as hard as he could up Wycliff's left leg, through his chest, and eventually ending at the top of his forehead, exactly, though unknowingly, where the Shinigami had planned to hit Adolf. While this strike certainly wasn't enough to kill, Adolf had taken his time to turn around after it, and re-assume a fighting stance.

Kazuna tensed up from the bolt of electricity traveling towards him suddenly. He was about to raise his weapon shortly before he noticed the slight curve as it traveled right passed him up to the spectator. As Kazuna turned around to hear Adolf scream in agony, he was surprised to even see him there in the first place. This feeling was drowned about by the next maneuver of Wycliff. As he released Hado, Kazuna was caught by surprise from the explosion as it radiated outward. Kazuna out of instinct jumped to narrowly avoid it. Now in the air, he was thinking about his next maneuver. 

Kazuna's thought was interrupted by Adolf's words as he saw Desamor finally reveal the blade under the sheath. Kazuna was curious as to the sudden change in Adolf. He had never seen his release and was interested in the blade finally showing itself under that blunt and heavy sheath as the ribbons severed. Seeing this, however, caused a deep interest to awake within Kazuna. If he was going to have to fight this Soul Reaper, why not fight in earnest. For being sportsmanlike and indulging Kazuna in conversation, he would at least try and get something out of this. Kazuna landed about 30 ft away from Wycliff backside as Adolf had released.

Kazuna turned around and looked as Adolf rushed down Wycliff with his Sonido. There was a sense of pleasure inside watching the onslaught. This pleasure awakened within Kazuna as he held Kurakusabyou. This rush of adrenaline and joy-filled Kazuna every time he had released. It was dark and twisted feeling that was long buried inside Kazuna. With those thoughts, he held Kurakusabyou to his side and softly spoke, "Rot and Decay, Kurakusabyou." As Kazuna finished the sentence, a dark haze began to envelop Kurakusabyou. The dark haze emanated from the scythe and even passing somewhat onto Kazuna himself. As the haze thickened, the hilt of Kurakusabyou began to almost wither. Much like a dying flower, the hilt began to wither away slowly along the hilt as Kazuna's hand let go of the hilt. Continuing to decay, it moved to the blade as it as well began to disintegrate into nothingness. From Kazuna's hands, a shape began to reform as two dual kama's, a insignia of a black skull began to form on both the black and red blades. Kazuna himself also began to change. During all of this, Kazuna's skin began to crack as it burst off in every direction like clothing tearing. Under the explosion of skin was a coat of gray skin with messy hair and a body type much like a decaying corpse. The remnants of his mask began to warp. The U shape began to dissolve as a beak reappeared extending from Kazuna's face. His entire face was covered besides his eyes which looked like empty sockets. His mask had begun to look like a plague doctor mask. With this, his clothing began to appear to age and become considerably more tattered. With this, Kazuna looked up at the fight in front of him and he began to chuckle in a sort of high pitched voice.

The haze at this point began to envelop the dual kamas as he began to speak, "Just as all things live, so must things die. Just as you are alive, allow me to remove your insides.", his chuckling filling the air with sick twisted pleasure. "Now Shinigami....hehe, allow me to play with you in my own way. I can promise you loads of fun." Kazuna's voice at this point could be deduced as downright psychopathic. With that, he titled his arms backward and quickly accelerated to a full speed of 150 to quickly close the distance between himself and the occupied Shinigami. With that, he quickly slashed back and forth at Wycliff's backside hoping that Adolf kept him distracted enough so that he could apply enough lacerations. That was the fun of it all, torturing your victims to the brink of death with cuts and bruises.
