Despite Everything, It's Still You [NDE PvP]

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Needless to say, Priscilla wasn't entirely prepared for any kind of shunpo from the girl before her, much less some sort of whirlwind to blast her backwards. She was shunted into the air, and yet her body still maintained form. She wasn't going to let it dissipate then and there. No, she had another plan for this Shinigami, and one that she'd execute to absolute perfection if the opportunity presented itself. She took a deep breath while soaring through the air.

The moment before she was upon the Shinigami, unable to control her speed, she braced for impact. Normally, something like what Celes had prepared to launch would've easily shattered the spine of the poor victim, but this case was different. Instead of slamming her foot down with tremendous speed in an attempt to further launch Priscilla, Celes would find that her foot actually went through the paper dummy's back, causing sheets of paper to disperse absolutely everywhere. A hundred or so sheets were sent flying straight down, but the other 1,400 persisted around Celes.

Within seconds of the split, they were upon Celes like a pack of wolves. The goal here was to bind the girl and as such, a specified shape wasn't necessary. Instead, they simply looked to surround the girl and would cling together tightly if she wasn't able to get away in time. The only thing that wouldn't be covered in this hardened paper was her head; she didn't want the girl to suffocate, after all! She'd said she'd batter and bruise the Shinigami, not kill her. She looked to keep good on her word.

If the papers managed to bind her, then Priscilla called another 1,000 sheets toward their location, and took the time to reform as her normal, proper self. Well, as normal as she could be with her body still being that of a dummy. Either way, though, it still looked like she was back to normal, and she'd take what she could get. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh, my de[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]arest Celes,"[/smear:603300] she'd start again, staring the girl in the eyes, [smear:ff80ff]"seems as though you've gotten caught in one hell of a web here. Ho[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]w ever will you manage to get out of this one~? I'd love to see!"[/smear:603300] Priscilla held her hands right underneath her chin as if to elevate it while standing, Yuno Gasai-style.

She'd use an air ground to walk around Celes in the air, slowly examining and stalking her prey. She wasn't going to let her get away, and she was absolutely going to take what she wanted. From here, she'd take a second to draw in reiatsu, and then place her hand atop Celes' head. [smear:ff80ff]"I do hope you know what happens next, love. I'm going to find out e[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]xactly what makes you tick! Doesn't that sound amazing~?"[/smear:603300] Priscilla couldn't help but give the girl a devious smirk. [smear:ff80ff]"Don't worry, this shouldn't really hurt all that much! I just wanna find out a[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]s much about you as I possibly can, and this is easily the best way to do so!"[/smear:603300]

Of course, this was all assuming she managed to land her bind attempt. If she didn't, Priscilla reformed in the location she tried to bind Celes, once again looking like her normal self despite having a fake body, and sighed. She'd take in the reiatsu she could in the area, and try to keep her vision on Celes. [smear:ff80ff]"Do keep in mind that your attempts to k[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]eep running are only going to get you so far, dearest Celes,"[/smear:603300] she said, smiling to herself, [smear:ff80ff]"you cannot keep trying to get away forever. Sometime soon, I'll[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] catch up and really make you scream~!"[/smear:603300]

[Celes Castellanos]

It seemed that Celes' strategy was a success at least partway. The Shunpo Eichi was sudden enough to launch the Quincy backwards. That much was for sure. As Celes blitzed behind the Quincy, however and went for her powerful kick, she would find that she hit nothing, but air. Well to be more exact, Celes foot actually moved through the imitation. As soon as she realized this though, however, Celes was in a whole heap of trouble. 

The power of the Shunpo Karin was in its ability to speed up the limb to the speed of a Shunpo. The caveat was that this momentum was very volatile and rather uncontrollable. Even if Celes wanted, there was nothing she could do that wouldn't have the potential to shatter every bone in her leg. It didn't matter at this point anyway as the paper suddenly dispersed from the body and Celes took note of the swirling tornado around her that would descend upon her like a lion eyeing a gazelle. 

This last combination of movements truly did require Celes to take a breather. While she was at what could be considered a peak of physical ability, even she needed to rest since her abilities were fueled by her own stamina. In fact, mostly all of it required her to physically exert herself to an incredible amount. While she would be able to keep up a fight for hours if needed, she needed a moment to recuperate every now and then.

As the paper tightened against her, Celes' expression actually became filled with dread. Part of her was fearful as she knew that whatever Priscilla had planned, she couldn't do much. It was at this point that she was bound and immobilized, leaving her at the mercy of this Quincy. Celes would then hear Priscilla say that which she truly loathed. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh, my de[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]arest Celes,"[/smear:603300] Something about the sugar sweet tone of it really pissed Celes off as she had a scowl on her face at this point. 

Priscilla would continue to speak as Celes listened while she tried to think of a way to get out of this situation. Ho[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]w ever will you manage to get out of this one~? I'd love to see!"[/smear:603300] With that, Celes began to struggle against the binds. It seemed, however, that they were tough to break even for her. Even despite being paper, these binds would not budge and Celes couldn't hope to make them loosen in one move. 

As she took a moment to breathe, she would overhear Priscilla speak. [smear:ff80ff]"I do hope you know what happens next, love. I'm going to find out e[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]xactly what makes you tick! Doesn't that sound amazing~?"[/smear:603300] This woman was truly crazy. [smear:ff80ff]"Don't worry, this shouldn't really hurt all that much! I just wanna find out a[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]s much about you as I possibly can, and this is easily the best way to do so!"[/smear:603300] Yet despite her assurances, something did not leave Celes optimistic. 

As she punctuated her comment, Celes would visibly struggle against the binds with all of her might. She needed to try and weaken them as best as she could and she would push herself to the brink of death if she needed to. She would do her best to wiggle and struggle against the paper, growling and screaming a bit in anger and rage. Her eyes then made eye contact with Priscilla for a moment. As they did, Priscilla would most likely see the burning anger in her eyes. If looks could kill, then Priscilla would find herself dead ten times over. There was no end to Celes' rage at this woman.

Even as she continued to struggle, her breathing and tension would become so irregular that if she continued, she may have actually killed herself with the strain she was putting on herself. As such, she took a small break. Her breathing even while resting was hastened and labored as she looked up at Priscilla, not even listening to the last thing she said. "I swear. If you do anything to me, I will make you suffer pain worse than anything you could ever imagine. Worlds will burn by the time that I am done with you." There was pure venom in her words. Anyone who knew Celes would most likely believe that this was an entirely different person.

Shikai: 3/10
 

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Absolutely nothing made Priscilla more excited than watching Celes struggle against her bindings. An absolutely devious smirk persisted on her face as she watched the girl try to thrash about, looking to break the shell she had been stuck in. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh, co[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]me on,"[/smear:603300] Priscilla had started, looking to mock the Shinigami, [smear:ff80ff]"it's just paper, surely you can break[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] it, right miss 'Tremendous Strength'?"[/smear:603300] She stared into the girl's eyes, enjoying the gaze she was getting in return. It was time to find out what she could about the girl. She began to take in reiatsu from the area, and looked to enact her plan.

At least, that was the plan before she heard Celes speaking up. "I swear. If you do anything to me, I will make you suffer pain worse than anything you could ever imagine. Worlds will burn by the time that I am done with you." She couldn't help but keep smiling at the sound of the girl's words. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh? Is that so? How about I hold you to that then? How I'd love to have a Vice Captain as a nemesis! Shall this interaction be the budding of an aggressive rivalry between us? 'Devil-may-care, ravishingly[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] gorgeous Quincy pitted eternally against her antithesis from a different world; a hot-headed, tactically-brilliant, still quite attractive Shinigami unfortunately bound to the suffocating chains of the Soul Society'! I can see the headlines now~!"[/smear:603300]

She slowly placed her hand on Celes' head once more, and gently messed with her hair. She gave the girl a serene smile. [smear:ff80ff]"Don't worry, though, dear, you're truly safe in this situation. I wouldn't want to harm you; no, I'd much rather return home and have you accepted under the loving protection of the Emperor, and have you sanctified of those nasty[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] Shinigami powers of yours; I think you'd make a much better Quincy, love, don't you think? Keep that offer in the back of your mind~!"[/smear:603300]

From there, Priscilla closed her eyes, and allowed her reiatsu to mingle with Celes' own. The goal here was to get inside of her mind; to peer into her soul. She'd known Shinigami had these 'inner worlds' of sorts, thanks to their Zanpakuto. She'd even managed to get inside a few of them in her time. Her goal here was to dive deep into Celes' inner world, and see what she could find out about her, and her Zanpakuto. Her bindings wouldn't last forever unfortunately, so she needed to act while she could in order for this digging around to work out in her favor.

[Celes Castellanos]

Bound and with no place to go, struggling against the bondage that she was in and fighting against it to no avail, the Shinigami was truly at the mercy of Priscilla. At this point, she was not even sure if she could win. She did listen to Priscilla more so out of necessity since she really couldn't force her way out of this. The Quincy continued to talk and Celes at this point was positive that she just loved to do that. She was truly insufferable. 

[smear:ff80ff]"Oh, co[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]me on,"[/smear:603300] Celes rolled her eyes at her opponent, trying to test for any way that she could free herself before Priscilla could invade the inner reaches of her mind. [smear:ff80ff]"it's just paper, surely you can break[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] it, right miss 'Tremendous Strength'?"[/smear:603300]Growling, Celes screamed and shouted once more. She felt powerless. This powerlessness that she once felt when her sister perished. After shouting at her, Priscilla just seemed to smirk.

It was clear at this point that Priscilla would continue to try and antagonize Celes. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh? Is that so? How about I hold you to that then? How I'd love to have a Vice Captain as a nemesis! Shall this interaction be the budding of an aggressive rivalry between us? 'Devil-may-care, ravishingly[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] gorgeous Quincy pitted eternally against her antithesis from a different world; a hot-headed, tactically-brilliant, still quite attractive Shinigami unfortunately bound to the suffocating chains of the Soul Society'! I can see the headlines now~!"[/smear:603300]

Though it was Priscilla's next comment that sent the shiver down Celes spine. [smear:ff80ff]"Don't worry, though, dear, you're truly safe in this situation. I wouldn't want to harm you; no, I'd much rather return home and have you accepted under the loving protection of the Emperor, and have you sanctified of those nasty[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] Shinigami powers of yours; I think you'd make a much better Quincy, love, don't you think? Keep that offer in the back of your mind~!"[/smear:603300] This alone made Celes whimper softly as she couldn't help, but feel repulsed by the prospect.

As Priscilla proceeded to touch Celes' head, the Shinigami recoiled as best as she could. Even despite her countless battles. Being face to face with death itself didn't strike fear into her heart, but Priscilla for some reason did. She could not explain it, but the idea of being made into a Quincy along with the idea of her being made to work under Priscilla potentially just made her feel vile. The hatred would continue to grow and Celes truly was unstable at this point around Priscilla. 

It was then that Celes' vision blurred and everything went dark as she felt Priscilla's reiatsu meld with her own. Whimpering softly before she blacked out, Celes just looked up at the Quincy before her, expecting her to violate her mind and very soul itself. When Celes awoke, she was in a familiar place. This was her inner world. Where she originally met Yunorashi. Just like before it was a split world. Though some noticeable differences. Where Yunorashi would normally be found, the trees had a different appearance. Large trees with crowns full of leaves and fruit hanging from them. This was bizzare since last Celes was here, the trees had their leaves shed. To contrast the beautiful display of trees, the lines of demarkation would be clear as just a bit away from the trees was a barren wasteland as far as the eye could see.

Looking around, Celes noticed that her body was not bound anymore. She breathed a sigh of relief as she stood up. Her Zanpakutou was next to her in its Shikai form and naturally, she grabbed the spear and plucked it from the soft ground. Her shield was still on her arm and with a smile, she looked at the inner world, almost forgetting why she had been here in the first place. It was then that she heard a familiar voice emanating above her. Looking up, Celes saw the form of Yunorashi sitting on a branch and smiling down at Celes. At this point, Celes had not even realized that Priscilla was with them.

Yunorashi, while sitting on her branch was eating an apple and giggling softly. After taking her last few bites, she threw the apple towards the ground. As it slowly fell to the ground, Celes would hear that soft giggle again. Finally, Yunorashi would speak. "It's been a while Celes! How have you been? No need to answer that question. I already know." She began to laugh loudly and fall on her back as she laid on the branch. She would then continue to speak. "I see you even brought a friend with you! Who is she?" Celes would turn and presumably see Priscilla. This would instantly put Celes on the defensive, but she wouldn't make a move. This was her inner world after all. But..how was she in here?

Shikai: 4/10

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Priscilla immediately held her hands up upon entering Celes' inner world. [smear:ff80ff]"Don't worry, dearest Celes, I'm[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] not looking to harm you!"[/smear:603300] She turned to Yunorashi, and gave her a serene smile. [smear:ff80ff]"You must be Celes' Zanpakuto spirit! It's truly a pleasure to[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] be able to see you in the flesh! I'm Priscilla Krantz,"[/smear:603300] with that, she gave a simple curtsy, [smear:ff80ff]"and Celes and I are simply star-crossed love[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]rs, trapped by our own fate into forbidden romance!"[/smear:603300] Priscilla seemed to be somewhat passionate about wanting some kind of relationship with Celes, though whether that meant rivals, romance, or something entirely different was up for debate.

She began to walk over to Yunorashi somewhat slowly, as to make herself seem like as little of a harm as possible. [smear:ff80ff]"This is truly a wonderful place you h[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]ave here, I very much admire the look of everything!"[/smear:603300] She was smiling while taking in the atmosphere around her, genuinely interested in the girl's inner world. [smear:ff80ff]"Though, I am curious, what's the deal with the split down the middle? Celes, [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]are there two sides to Yunorashi that I can't quite see?"[/smear:603300] A puzzled look rose to Priscilla's face.

Once again, she turned to face Celes, though this time to study her expression. She wanted to see how the girl would react, and whether or not there'd be some semblance of lie filtered into her words. She wasn't sure if that was going to be the case, naturally, but she wanted to be sure. In turn, she'd turn her expression to Yunorashi and do the exact same. She wasn't going to let any semblance of information slip passed her if she could help it. [smear:ff80ff]"Miss Zan Spirit, surely you don't mind if I take a look around the place? This is, after all[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff], my first time inside of an inner world like this! I'd love to see what this place has to offer!"[/smear:603300] Thanks to her skills with verbal manipulation, and years upon years of being able to disguise her motives, she'd be able to come off as pretty serene with this request.

[Celes Castellanos]

Celes was truly shocked. The inner world of a Shinigami was a sacred domain, demonstrating the bond between both Shinigami and their Zanpakutou spirit. Yet Priscilla was sullying it with her presence. In truth, it was angering her even more. She then heard Priscilla speak to her. [smear:ff80ff]"Don't worry, dearest Celes, I'm[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] not looking to harm you!"[/smear:603300] Celes raised her eyebrow and exclaimed. "Somehow I doubt that very much!" 

Celes then watched as Priscilla began to address Yunorashi. [smear:ff80ff]"You must be Celes' Zanpakuto spirit! It's truly a pleasure to[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] be able to see you in the flesh! I'm Priscilla Krantz,"[/smear:603300] In response to this, Yunorashi immediately giggled. She then continued to listen to Priscilla explain what the relation between Priscilla and Celes was. [smear:ff80ff]"and Celes and I are simply star-crossed love[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]rs, trapped by our own fate into forbidden romance!"[/smear:603300]

Now this made Celes blink rapidly. How dare this Quincy even insinuate that there was something more between them. The Shinigami at this point wanted her dead. No, death was too good for her. She could come back. Celes wanted her absolutely eradicated. As her Zanpakutou spirit, Yunorashi was able to feel this seething rage intimately as she giggled a little. She would then respond promptly while dangling her legs off of the branch. "Now now. Aren't you a polite one. Unfortunately I can feel Celes' distate towards you so I am inclined to believe that it is one-sided. Cute nonetheless though!" She chuckled a little as she peered at the Quincy. Yunorashi was good at hiding her true perceptions and feelings. Being a Zanpakutou spirit helped with that. 

Yunorashi kept dangling her legs a little childishly as she kept starting at Priscilla. She would continue to listen to the Quincy. [smear:ff80ff]"Though, I am curious, what's the deal with the split down the middle? Celes, [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]are there two sides to Yunorashi that I can't quite see?"[/smear:603300] Even before Celes got a chance to answer in a rather violent way, Yunorashi would answer for her. "Don't worry about it Celes. I'll answer for you!" She chuckled a little as she disappeared from sight, even to Celes. Appearing on another branch, farther down and with a better outlook, she peered into the distance and spoke calmly, addressing Priscilla. "She knows as little as you do. In fact, I don't ever go over there. Not enough fun trees to sit on. After all, I can't do much more than watch Celes in here." 

There was a certain comfort in Yunorashi's words to Celes. As her Zanpakutou spirit, Celes felt a deep connection to her and even moreso, felt that she could confide so much in Yunorashi. Her eyes would skirt back to Priscilla whom she then heard speak once more. smear:ff80ff]"Miss Zan Spirit, surely you don't mind if I take a look around the place? This is, after all[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff], my first time inside of an inner world like this! I'd love to see what this place has to offer!"[/smear:603300] A little smirk arose on Yunorashi's lips and Celes had yet another expression of anger.

Celes bursted out, taking on an aggressive position once more. She quickly began to speak. "How dare you even suggest something that preposterous. You are already treading on our sacred grounds. Yet here you go on to ask about wanting to explore this realm." Celes began walking towards Priscilla rather aggressively. Even if Priscilla was about to attempt to defend herself, Yunorashi with her short stature would stand before Celes. She would stand in between Priscilla and Celes, looking at Celes in a rather stoic manner. "Now calm down Celes. If she is curious about the other side of this world, she can go at her own risk. She will likely perish anyway so it's a win-win." Celes blinked at Yunorashi and normally if it were anyone else, she would be pushing her aside, but she respect Yunorashi enough to not argue it. 

Shikai: 5/10

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Priscilla couldn't help but smirk back in response. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh, is t[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]hat so?"[/smear:603300] She asked quizzically, [smear:ff80ff]"I may just have to test you on that theory, I hardly think I'll lose my life, but I'll be da[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]mned if I said I wasn't curious about what goes on inside of my little Celes' head!"[/smear:603300] With that, she gave a wink to Celes, and set her vision toward the other side of Celes' inner world. "Well, I do plan on setting out over there, so Miss Zan Spirit, if there's anything you'd like from that side do let me know~!"

And with that, she began her march across the other side, and summoned her bow. She wasn't sure if she'd need it, but it didn't hurt to have on her person; especially after taking into consideration that the half of Celes' inner world the two of them had been treading on originally likely only belonged to that Spirit. She was awfully curious to see what was on the other side, and made it her mission to find the fuck out. She'd heard only legends of hybrids, but she thought those only existed within Hell. At least, that's what she was taught from Amalia.

Was Celes some sort of hellion? It was hard to say. She'd be damned if she didn't find out, though! This was an experience that'd only present itself once or twice, and it was one she was going to capitalize on. She kept her sensory capabilities primed, and very ready to consistently scout the area for anything unnatural. Unfortunately for her, though, everything in the area had been absolutely teeming with Reiatsu; thus was likely the result of inner worlds, they were likely reiatsu-based in nature.

[smear:ff80ff]"Come out, come ou[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]t, little hell spawn,"[/smear:603300] Priscilla said, searching every corner for some semblance of life, [smear:ff80ff]"I'm sure you're here! There's no way that Zan spirit simply lives her all on her lonesome, surely you'd want to get back at her or Celes for banishing you to this area? Surely y[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]ou'd like to get back at them, no? Well, I may or may not be able to make that happen, so long as you're willing to show yourself~!"[/smear:603300] With that, she continued to search high and low around the area, in hopes of finding something.

[Celes Castellanos]

Something about this entire situation confused Celes. How could Yunorashi really be so sure that Priscilla would die if she went onto the other side. No matter what Celes thought, she was ripped back to reality as she heard Priscilla speak. [smear:ff80ff]"Oh, is t[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]hat so?"[/smear:603300] She asked quizzically, [smear:ff80ff]"I may just have to test you on that theory, I hardly think I'll lose my life, but I'll be da[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]mned if I said I wasn't curious about what goes on inside of my little Celes' head!"[/smear:603300] This utterly repulsed Celes once more to be addressed like that by this Quincy.

Nonetheless, she would calmly watch as Priscilla crossed over the threshold. She was eagerly awaiting something to happen immediately as Yunorashi seemed to be absolutely positive that something awful would happen to Priscilla if she decided to poke around in the Inner Worlds of Shinigami. Yet for now, all was ordinary. Celes even heard Priscilla call out towards something. [smear:ff80ff]"Come out, come ou[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]t, little hell spawn,"[/smear:603300]

Looking confused, Celes looked down at Yunorashi who was just smiling the entire. It was as if the Zan spirit knew exactly what was about to happen. Priscilla continued to attempt to bait something out. [smear:ff80ff]"I'm sure you're here! There's no way that Zan spirit simply lives her all on her lonesome, surely you'd want to get back at her or Celes for banishing you to this area? Surely y[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]ou'd like to get back at them, no? Well, I may or may not be able to make that happen, so long as you're willing to show yourself~!"[/smear:603300]

Celes' eyes widened. Did Priscilla think that Celes was a sinner? This admittedly gave Celes quite a shock. Yunorashi feeling this shock just giggled in response as it seemed that Yunorashi would call out. "Enough hiding. Come out to play. Or are you just going to mull around on a rock all day?" As Yunorashi said this, the atmosphere of the inner world would change. A spiritual pressure would finally be felt on the other barran side of the inner world. It was then that suddenly a wall of black flames would arise to seperate the two halves of the inner world. Celes was admittedly taken aback by thus. What had Yunorashi awakened? 

The spiritual pressure on the barren half of the inner world became more focused until much to Celes' and most likely Priscilla's shock, there was another individual sharing the sectioned off part of the inner world with her. The individual appeared to be male and had rather pale skin. Not exactly white, but very pale. Black eyes that could consume the world in darkness and what appeared to be clothing reminiscent of a typical Shinobi. Looking at Priscilla, he would inspect her up and down. He seemed to be studying her for a moment as Yunorashi couldn't help, but have the biggest smile on her face.

No matter what Priscilla said, the individual would only have one response. "Leave. Now." Punctuating this sentence, he would stand and unsheathe his sword. Raising it into the air, rain would begin to fall. This rain appeared to be a nice respite for the very battle-scarred and torn landscape that was Celes' other half of her inner world. Priscilla may find that this "rain" may not be so soothing for her. It would start slowly. A bit of a drizzle. Though as soon as the rain touched Priscilla's skin, she may find it to burn. They wouldn't be very deep burns, but with the amount that would soon drop, it could worsen. 

If Priscilla decided to stay, the rain would become much more like a downpour. Priscilla at this point could most likely both sense and rationally conclude that the rain had been infused with Hollow reiatsu. How else would Priscilla's skin be touched by what almost felt like white hot flames. This individual clearly gave her one of two options. Either leave now or perish among the rain. He clearly didn't care what she did, but Celes at this point felt her head began to hurt. She fell to the ground as Yunorashi attempted to soothe her. Celes couldn't explain it, but it felt like an ice pick had been rammed into her skull. 

Yunorashi stood behind Celes at this point as she would calmly yell out to Priscilla if she still hadn't left by this point. "I would not risk tempting fate any more. He really does not take kindly to visitors. Especially those that are enemies to Celes. Don't worry, you won't die if you leave now. If you decide to remain, however, I'm afraid that you will be riddled by what appears to burning you." Yunorashi would give Priscilla a bit of a smile.

Shikai: 6/10

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Priscilla was immediately taken back from the flames that had arisen around the barren area. She could feel it quite easily; hollow reiatsu. She needed to leave. She couldn't stick around, else suffer the consequences of doing so against a hollow. Just what the hell was Celes? Why did she have this thing living inside of her? She shuddered at the thought. Then she heard to voice of someone behind her. The words they had spoken sent her into a state of distress.

"Leave. Now."

Those words were all she needed to hear. She took quite a few steps back, and launched herself over the flames. As she did so, a few raindrops had made contact with her skin, causing those reiatsu burns. She winced in pain, as she fell to the ground on Yunorashi's side. Her eyes angrily glared at Celes. [smear:ff80ff]"Just what the[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] hell are you!?"[/smear:603300] she shouted. With those words spoken, she quickly nocked an arrow, and launched it toward the man on the other side of the flames. [smear:ff80ff]"Well, it's been pleasant, but I think I'm [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]going to take my leave. I'll deal with you, Celes, in the real world. Ciao, bella!"[/smear:603300]

---

And with that, Priscilla released her hand from Celes' head, and quickly took a step back. All of the paper that had been binding Celes was now beginning to peel off, and move to hover around Priscilla. She stared at the girl, and focused as she drew in reiatsu. She had so many questions she wasn't about to have answered; her largest one being just what the hell was she? Half-hollow? How had that been possible? Just what happened to her that caused something like this?

Reiatsu Pool: 2,450
+400 for Quincy Cross & Spirit Fragment

[Celes Castellanos]

Celes had to admit, even she was surpised that Priscilla had to retreat from this figure. Though Celes had absolutely no idea who he was, even she felt a sense of dread. While the pain continued, it began to upside and Celes felt strong enough to return to her feet though not before noticing Priscilla wince in pain every time that these little drops of reiatsu touched her skin. She did not know much about Quincy, but she was vaguely aware that Hollow reiatsu was caustic and toxic to them. Was this a situation where that applied? No it couldn't. This couldn't be a Hollow..right?

If this was a Hollow, this didn't explain how it inhabited her Inner World. Did Yunorashi know something that not even Celes knew about? Was she just as clueless? No she couldn't have been. After all, she tempted Priscilla into crossing the threshold. As Priscilla cleared the flames, landing on the grass, but clearly in pain due to the almost acid-like rain to her, the Shinigami began to hear what Priscilla was asking her. [smear:ff80ff]"Just what the[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] hell are you!?"[/smear:603300] Not even Celes knew how to answer the question at that point. 

Celes would notice as Priscilla nocked an arrow and swiftly sent it through the flames. While it was able to pierce the flames and move towards the other spirit in Celes' inner world, the individual simple drew his blade with in one clean cut, bisected the arrow. Splitting in half, it would fly past him as he peered at Priscilla with a unique expression. They were not hate filled like Celes' eyes. They were much darker. Much more sinister. She would, however soon encounter these eyes once more. 

It seemed that Priscilla was very much prepared to leave the inner world as she spoke to what was presumedly Celes and Yunorashi. [smear:ff80ff]"Well, it's been pleasant, but I think I'm [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]going to take my leave. I'll deal with you, Celes, in the real world. Ciao, bella!"[/smear:603300] As she faded away, Yunorashi looked at Celes and then at the figure behind the black flames. Yunorashi sighed. "I guess it just couldn't be avoided. I can't explain all of this to you Celes. You are too weak right now to resist him, but never forget that I will be here with you." Before even having a chance to answer, Celes' vision returned to reality.

As her eyes focused, she noticed that she was kneeling and no longer bound. It was at this point that she wanted to continue to fight. She desired to still end Priscilla. It couldn't be helped. It was then in the back of her head. That familiar voice from the figure rang inside of her. "Are you really serious. You can't handle her. And I can't let you die just yet. Watch." As the voice began to fade away, Celes felt something begin to stir within her.  She was not sure what it was, but it felt powerful. It was at this point that Priscilla would really have reason to be afraid.

White fragments of particles began to move towards Celes. Priscilla, who was clearly an expert of energy would most likely recognize this as yet another form of Hollow reiatsu. The white particles woudl clump and begin to form a shape. It was a fragmented half of a mask which for now, appeared to match the appearance of an ancient spartan hoplite. The mask would be pure white and covered half of Celes' face. If Priscilla paid attention, she would see Celes' eyes change. Matching the blackened appearance of the Hollow inside of her, Celes or atleast whatever was controlling Celes at this point rose to her feet.

As Celes sighed and breathed, she would begin to speak. But once more, if Priscilla paid attention, she would hear a heightened resonance within Celes' voice. It was sound more dull and slightly more masculine as Celes' voice seemed to mix with another entity's vocal patterns. Priscilla at this point most likely also felt Hollow reiatsu emenate from Celes. "Tch. So quick to anger. Clearly she lacks the fortitude to take you on. So allow me to eliminate you for her." 

As Celes finished saying this, she would dissapear in what appeared to be an instant. Once again, it could be recognized as a Shunpo, but she was moving at 5000 speed once again. Her form would then appear before Priscilla as this entity manipulating her body had plans. Using air ground as a platform, she stuck in into the air and used her momentum to spin herself around her own polearm. If Priscilla was stunned by the display, she may find herself getting kicked across the head, but this wasn't all. If the kick had landed, Priscilla may have noticed that the feet stopped in midair. A Hakuda technique that allowed one to completely change the momentum of attacks, Celes would also add in a Shunpo Karin to the whole equation as Priscilla may find herself being kicked by a second kick from the opposite of her head at a sudden speed of 5000. Finally, if both connected, Celes would commit even more as the entity controlling her body would let stop the air ground, launching itself at Priscilla's form in an attempt to flatten her against the building. Even if Priscilla did not get hit by this onslaught of attacks, she would notice that Celes' physical capabilities were being used expertly along with crative use of her Zanpakutou.

{Shunpo Karin}Technique Name: Shunpo Karin

Class: 5

Technique Type: Kidō

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

The famous "partial Shunpo" technique. This allows the user to initiate a single movement at Shunpo speed with one limb. This cannot be used without initiating the forward momentum. The user will need to move their arm the way they normally would before this technique can be activated. Momentum for this technique cannot be controlled. This means once the user initiates this technique, they cannot stop their limb from the movement.

How to use technique:

Stated above.

Drawback:

Also stated above. Higher Reiatsu cost than normal Shunpo. Limit is once per post. More taxing on stamina than regular Shunpo.

{Different Tempo}Technique Name: Different Tempo

Class: 5

Technique Type: Hakuda

Usable By: Shinigami, Beast-Clan, Escudo

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:
With the Rhythm Beat stance, the user is put into a specific pattern and rhythm of blows that can only increase or decrease in speed, while remaining in an almost constant series of predictable motions. Different Tempo shakes up that pattern, allowing the user to tense their muscles and completely redirect the momentum of their body, provided that they were the origin of it. A punch might suddenly jerk to the side instead of being a straight blow mid-strike, or a strike might be withdrawn to avoid a slashing blade that would cut them even if it was mid-attack. This technique is stand-alone and can work without the use of the Rhythm Beat stance, but it is most effective when paired with it, allowing the user to shake up a predictable pattern while maintaining the momentum necessary for high-speed combat.

How to use technique:
Tense the muscles and redirect the momentum of one's blow, even in a completely opposite direction.

Technique Drawbacks:
The main drawback to this technique is the muscle fatigue that comes with it, varying based on the reversal of momentum. Complete reversal is obviously the most straining compared to a redirection, and the higher the speed, the higher the risk of muscle and bone damage. Repeated use of more than three times in a post even at lesser amounts of stress can also cause this damage. Requires at least a 2 in Martial Arts: Hakuda.

{Reiatsu}

Total Reiatsu: 350/1250

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Unfortunately for her, Priscilla was quickly caught off-guard by the first strike from the "Shinigami". She couldn't keep up with the girl even if she tried to. As such, she was forced to take that kick straight to the face. As she reeled from the hit for a split second, another one quickly came and blitzed her once again, forcing her to take another cheap shot. The third hit, however, wouldn't grant a result that was as lucky as the first two. Instead of once again taking another attack, Priscilla's body once again dispersed into sheets of paper.

Her goal here was to make an attack that even this amped-up Shinigami-hollow hybrid couldn't take normally. She'd need some kind of plan in order to do so; she knew exactly what she needed to do, and would work desperately to catch this girl by surprise. From here, Priscilla took the time to gather every last sheet of paper that had already coated the battlefield. At the moment, there were 3,000 sheets whirling through the air at a pretty contestable speed of 600. While this was certainly a lot, she'd need more. 

While dispersed like she was, Priscilla had a rather unique ability she was quite thankful for; the ability to have sight from each and every sheet of paper whirling through the air. As such, with just a "glance", she could make use of perhaps one of her most destructive abilities; the ability to forcibly deconstruct the very terrain around her into paper. As the swarm of paper began to seemingly take in reiatsu, chunks of pavement, trees, and other minute landmarks began to break apart and convert into sheets of paper. After she was finished, an additional 1,000 sheets of paper had joined the fray.

[smear:ff80ff]"This is the[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] end, hollow,"[/smear:603300] Priscilla shouted from every sheet, [smear:ff80ff]"while I may not have the opportunity to figure out what, exactly, you are, I promise you here and now that this is where your little charade as a Shinigami ends. [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]truly hope you're ready to taste defeat, because when I'm through with you, that is likely the only fucking feeling you'll ever experience again, dammit!"[/smear:603300] As she finished speaking, these sheets of paper continued to whirl through the air. Anyone could've easily picked up on the fact that something big was coming.

{Soul Property}Class 1 - Soul - Bestseller Treatment - With her final property, Priscilla is able to convert basic structures she can see like trees, vehicles, or even parts of buildings into paper. Every square foot of area converted into paper costs 500 reiatsu, and yields 500 sheets of paper. While her Class 5 property is active as well, paper does not need to be summoned to her before it can be fired; it can be fired directly from the location where it is created. Additionally, willing or non-spiritually aware humans can be converted into paper, following the same conversion rates in her Heart property, and costing 1 reiatsu per piece of paper.

[Celes Castellanos]

As both hits connected, Celes was feeling pretty good about herself. Her personality was being suppressed in favor of this Hollows, but traces of it were still shining through. This Hollow was taking it to the next level though. Specifically, her tactical genius. As Celes was still semi-conscious, seeing the world through her own eyes, she had not even thought of that way to use her spear along with utilizing the Shunpo Karin after using Hakuda. In truth, Celes could see how this Hollow was an equal if not better fighter than her. It was almost as if he knew how to use it better than Celes herself. 

Celes was met with a degree of disappointment, however as the third attack which was supposed to be the finisher slipped through numerous pieces of paper. In truth, Celes was getting irritated by this ability to split herself into papers, but the Hollows' own feelings and personality was making that reaction even more violent. As she landed against the building, she scoffed and hopped back down to the side walk. Through her melded voice, Celes offered some words towards the Quincy. Whether or not she could hear her was irrelevant, but this Hollow had some things to say.

"What is it Quincy? No more taunts? No more poisonous words? Have I finally put enough fear into you to elicit this reaction?" It was then that Celes would see the fruits of Priscilla's power. Slowly, but surely, the environment was beginning to break down into paper. Blinking a little, Celes was in some ways amazed about how much paper was able to accumulated by this power of hers. In some ways it was terrifying, but this Hollow felt little fear. This Quincy dared tread upon its sacred ground and it would make sure to make her suffer. Sighing a little, Celes' body straightened out and stretched. 

It was then that Celes presumed that Priscilla was trying to stage on last big attack. As such, the Hollow was one more plan that could potentially work. Priscilla would see Celes somewhat kneeling towards the floor. It was almost as if she was about to kick off of the ground. This was partially true as Celes was focusing herself. She would put everything into one final attack. As she pushed against the ground, Priscilla may have seen that the force of her push alone made the concrete behind her crack and crumble. Truly it was incredible the type of physical ability that she could muster. 

Celes waited a moment, but waiting for any sign of a target, but if it presented itself as Priscilla or otherwise, Celes would go in. Kicking off of the ground, Celes rocketed forward with amazing speed. At this point, Celes was moving so fast and so close to the ground that it was tearing up the concrete beneath her, leaving a path of destruction in its wake. Placing her hands together, she was vibrating them at incredible speeds. It seemed that Celes was willing to test her own concentrated force against whatever Priscilla had in store for her. At this point, Celes was hoping for any target as there was no turning back.

As she reached the swirling mass of paper, if anything present itself, Celes would hit it with incredible force. If her fists did come into contact with anything, the target would be hit by a combined strength of 2600, typically more than enough to physically overpower just about anything, but only time would tell if Celes hit anything. Assuming that her attack was stopped or Priscilla just let her pass through, Celes would most likely hit the ground with extreme force. 

No matter what, whether she missed or not, Priscilla would see the most interesting thing. The mask that was on Celes' face would slowly begin to crack. The Hollow who was inhabiting Celes' body meanwhile would let out a scream as his control was clearly waning. As the mask cracked further, it would split in half as Celes' face was suddenly fully revealed once more. For just a moment, there would be the blackened appearance in Celes' eyes, but other than that, her vision would return completely to normal. No matter what predicament Celes would find herself in, the possession was finally and thankfully over.

{Final Crescendo}Technique Name: Final Crescendo

Class: 3

Technique Type: Hakuda

Usable By: Shinigami, Beast-Clan, Escudo

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:
Everything must come to an end, and so to does this apply to the forward momentum of a continuous series of strikes that is the Rhythm Beat technique line. However, the finale is where the most effort is needed for a successful combination, and this applies here. The user doubles their current speed and strength to strike at a foe with a single blow, hitting them with an amazing amount of force. However, the real power behind this technique is not the initial hit; rather, the momentum built up by the user's speed and increased strength is transferred through the blow, generating enormous impact force that sends a foe flying even if it does not break through defenses.

While this is a standalone technique, it flourishes at the end of a successful Rhythm Beat combination. Normally no other stat boosts will stack with this technique, but Rhythm Beat's speed boost through continuous momentum does apply before the doubling bonus. Naturally, the 3x cap on speed still applies. This technique counts as a short-term status boost.

How to use technique:
Tense the muscles and release a single powerful blow. More effective if momentum is already built up to make for an even faster blow.

Technique Drawbacks
The doubling of speed without the use of Reiatsu, simply overexerting the muscles, is extremely straining on the limb used for the strike. The limb's muscles will tear and the bone will weaken, making that limb more susceptible to attacks and reducing its speed by half. Additionally, a second use with the same limb will only grant a 50% speed boost for the technique, and will tear the muscles completely as well as shatter the bone, making that limb useless until healing is given. Requires at least a 2 in Martial Arts: Hakuda.

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Priscilla was set off by the hollow's words. [smear:ff80ff]"Damn[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] you!"[/smear:603300] she shouted, [smear:ff80ff]"the only fear in anyone's eyes is going[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] to be the fear left in yours after I drag you straight to hell!"[/smear:603300] Needless to say, she was absolutely furious over this whole matter. She wasn't going to let some hollow one-up her. She absolutely would not stand for it. No, she'd do what she could to strike fear into this thing. She wasn't going to let it walk away if she could do anything to help it.

Taking in reiatsu from the surrounding area one final time, Priscilla began to cause every last sheet of paper to slowly form together into one absolutely massive spike. The spike had been covered in 2,400 sheets of paper, and was aimed straight for the Shinigami. She'd hope that this attack would be the final nail in the coffin to put the bitch down, but the last thing she had expected was some final burst of strength from the girl, let alone a burst that tremendously potent.

Before she even had the opportunity to fire the lance, the entire thing had been burst through with tremendous amounts of force unlike anything she'd ever encountered before. All of the paper used had immediately dispersed, as Celes effectively obliterated her final attack. She couldn't help but respect the girl for being able to do so. A few moments later, she'd heard the scream the girl had let out, and assumed this was her opportunity. Moving the mass of paper toward the ground, Priscilla once again began to reform with a fake body.

[smear:ff80ff]"What's th[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]is, Celes?"[/smear:603300] Priscilla said with a smirk, with huge masses of paper swirling around her, forming into individual spikes, [smear:ff80ff]"lost that little edge your hollow pet gave you just then? Well, I promise you that I'll wipe your pitiful existence[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] off the face of the planet. Though... I think I'll give you a shot at life, if you'd desire it."[/smear:603300] With that said, Priscilla aimed to launch two of these spikes into her calves, in an attempt to handicap the girl; a display of power, of dominance.

[smear:ff80ff]"You seemed to have learned quite a bit about yourself today; much more than I think either of us anticipated. Well, how about we make a little deal here? You can agree to become a subject of my research; one that'll cooperate so I can gather any bit of information about you as possible, or I can strike you down where you kneel, whisk [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]your body from the Human World, and return to Silbern with your remains to experiment on; no body found means no remembrance from your comrades, nobody to carry on whatever sort of legacy you could hope to leave. So, what'll it be, love? Do you truly wish to continue to exist, or do you detest the idea of living as a Quincy's pet that much~?"[/smear:603300]

{Mass Property}Class 3 - Mass - Librarian’s Lance - With this property, Priscilla can create a large paper lance by creating and combining numerous paper arrows together. While this property is active, Priscilla can spend any amount of reiatsu in order to create said lance. For every two points of reiatsu spent, the lance’s OS increases by 1, with a base OS of 0. The speed of the lance is equal to half of the lance’s OS, and the OS of this lance cannot be greater than triple that of Priscilla’s OS. Sheets of paper already created can be used to form this lance, as well. Every piece of paper used is equal to one point of reiatsu, meaning two sheets of paper will increase the OS of the lance by 1 point. Much like her normal arrows, this lance can be detonated, and has the same effect of applying an area that causes papercuts, though the size of the area is a number of square feet equal to the OS of the lance divided by 20.

[Celes Castellanos]

Celes looked on in amazement as her or she should say, her Hollows, final gambit proved to be a success. The Shinigami's muscles were aching as she fell to the ground, sliding across it as she used her sword to brace herself. Curling up, she would slide across the ground, her shield creating sparks. As her momentum began to slow to an uncomfortable halt, the Shinigami sighed and got to her knees. Kneeling and breathing heavily, she noticed that her opponent was now before her with what could presumably be yet another fake body.

She looked up at Priscilla yet the Quincy seemed keen on continuing to gloat. [smear:ff80ff]"lost that little edge your hollow pet gave you just then? Well, I promise you that I'll wipe your pitiful existence[/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff] off the face of the planet. Though... I think I'll give you a shot at life, if you'd desire it."[/smear:603300] It was clear that the Quincy thought that she had won. After after all, Celes was almost completely drained. It wouldn't be long before she would pass out, but the Shinigami had an iron will and looked upon Priscilla, her eyes still filled with anger.

That anger would slowly continue to build as Priscilla seemed to make a hand motion. Just as swiftly as it had ended, two of those dreadful paper spears would dig themselves into Celes' calves. The pain was unimaginable. Any ordinary individual might have passed out at this point, but Celes did her best to not only hold on to her sanity, but also to both her consciousness and life. It seemed that Priscilla had a deal to offer her. One that Celes would not like too much.

[smear:ff80ff]"You seemed to have learned quite a bit about yourself today; much more than I think either of us anticipated. Well, how about we make a little deal here? You can agree to become a subject of my research; one that'll cooperate so I can gather any bit of information about you as possible, or I can strike you down where you kneel, whisk [/smear:ffffff][smear:ffffff]your body from the Human World, and return to Silbern with your remains to experiment on; no body found means no remembrance from your comrades, nobody to carry on whatever sort of legacy you could hope to leave. So, what'll it be, love? Do you truly wish to continue to exist, or do you detest the idea of living as a Quincy's pet that much~?"[/smear:603300] The Quincy's words felt like venom to the Shinigami's ears. She would subject herself to a life of a lab rat and she would make this very clear.

Despite her injuries, the drained reserves of her body and the overall muscular pain to her body, Celes would gasp and stagger somewhat. Using her spear which was still in its Shikai, Celes used it almost as a cane to stand, leaning against it as her breathing hastened. If she continued like this, she would almost be at risk of killing herself, but she did not care. It did not matter anymore. Priscilla was a threat and it was Celes' belief to fight to the very end. Till the last of her blood dripped upon the war-torn battlefield. Such was the warriors' spirit. 

As she kept leaning against her spear, gasping for air, she whimpered softly and strained to speak. "L..let me be clear. I am not some lab rat for you to enjoy performing research on. You are vile, having no respect of that which matters to others." She would reel back and spit on the ground next to Priscilla she chuckled heartedly. "Your request falls on deaf ears, though I doubt you will kill me. After all, how did you put it. You wouldn't give me an honorable death as that would just serve my purposes. No, I believe that you wouldn't do me any favors by killing me in combat. Then again...maybe there is some honor in not choosing death when I can live...even as a subject..." 

Celes had one final gambit in mind. This would require her to appear weakened which while she was, she wanted to appear as though she was trying to reason with Priscilla. Stumbling forward, Celes would attempt to place her hand on Priscilla's shoulder. She was hoping that insinuating her interest in Priscilla's proposal at the end, her weakened state and Priscilla seeming attraction to Celes that she would allow it. If Priscilla did allow it, Celes' plan would spring into action. Priscilla would in this situation feel chains wrap around her entire body. They would restrain her tightly, threatening to choke the life out of her if she resisted. Of course Celes knew that Priscilla could break them in mere seconds, but this was all the time that she would need.

Assuming that Celes' plan worked, the Shinigami would quickly twist her body and with her Zanpakutou, would open a path to the Soul Society. If she was successful and the path to the Soul Society appeared, Celes would quickly hop into it backwards while winking at Priscilla. It seemed that this would be fair game given all of her attempts at flirting with Celes. If this all came to pass, however, Celes in some ways hoped that she would rarely see Priscilla again as this tactic may have made her feel outsmarted, but Celes would just see this as a tactical retreat on her end. If she made it through, the doors would quickly shut behind her, leaving only empty space before Priscilla.

{Reiatsu}
Hollow Takeover - 350

Total Reiatsu: 0/1250

[Sieglinde P. Krantz]

Priscilla smirked as the Shinigami seemed to agree with her little plan. Of course, anyone in their right mind would've absolutely agreed to it; their life would be on the line otherwise, why wouldn't they? Priscilla was rather proud of herself in being able to outsmart the girl, even though that might not have been much of an accomplishment, considering Celes seemed to be nothing more than another one of those musclebound meatheads. She sighed realizing this, but still relished in her victory anyway.

Though, all of that changed the very moment that Celes put her hand on Priscilla's shoulder. She was instantly restrained where she was standing, and nothing but a look of pure, unhinged anger could be seen on her face. She didn't even bother saying anything, and immediately went into a state of struggle; far more effort had been put into this than battle as a whole, in fact. She wasn't going to let herself be outsmarted by some half-hollow wench. She began to thrash about where she stood, feeling the chains growing ever tighter, but still continued to press on.

The moment she saw the Shinigami open the Senkaimon, she began to panic. From here, she forced her body to disperse, launching paper shrapnel against the chains, and breaking herself free. In her state of panic, she hadn't thought to use this sooner. As Celes stepped through the Senkaimon, the Quincy had thrown her hand outstretched toward the girl, sending forth a stream of sheets of paper toward her, in a last-second attempt to bind the girl once more. 

Unfortunately for the Quincy, though, while quite a few sheets managed to make it through the door, it was nowhere near enough in order to accomplish that goal of hers, as the Shinigami vanished, leaving Priscilla alone on the streets; victorious in combat, but still alone, with nothing to show for her victory. She let out another sigh, as she punted the chains that rested at her feet. With that girl returning to the Soul Society, her plans had been put on halt for the time being. She'd need to either incapacitate that girl again, or find another host form that she could assume in order to make her way into the Seireitei.
