For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic [JT]

[Deleted]

Wandering around Karakura Town late at night seemed to become quite the habit for the young Shinigami. She'd grown to enjoy the streetlights, the quiet sounds of vehicles every few minutes, and the deep black sky perfectly contradicting with the lights of the office buildings to create an almost poetic view. Taking a deep breath, Camila began to ponder over everything that had happened as of late. She still found it somewhat hard to believe that her entire world had effectively fallen apart over the last few months, but she was absolutely making the most of it. She was pressing on through it all like she wasn't going to let it trouble her.

In truth, she wasn't going to let anything trouble her if she could help it. Things had happened. Fights had broken out. Hell, she'd been nearly put to death by her Ex-Captain. And, in spite of all of that, in spite of all of them, she was living her best life. Karakura had its fair share of benefits to living there; for one, rent was astoundingly cheap, considering Hollow attacks were practically a daily occurrence at this point; the town was perhaps one of the largest spiritual hotspots in the world, and thankfully she was enjoying every moment of it. Very little was going to change that; something about watching Shinigami risk their lives only to be cut down by not only Hollows but herself when she felt up to it brought her constant contentment.

Making her way to a public bench, Camila simply sat herself down and began to watch the very miniscule amounts of traffic that had been circulating around this late at night. It wasn't anything special; taxis, people spending their nights on the road, and perhaps someone heading home from a bar or something every now and then from the way that they drove. She couldn't help but be interested in that fact; becoming a Shinigami had only gone on to give her quite the perspective on the world around her. To say that she had found it interesting that people were so readily deciding to risk their lives with even menial tasks was rather astounding. The girl found it hard to believe that she used to live like that.

Shaking her head, she wasn't going to let herself hit any depressing topics for the time being. She needed to think a bit more positive from now on, sulking like she was doing was only going to grow to hurt her more than help her in the end, and she wasn't about to deal with that. If positivity was going to aid her in getting out of the Human World and into a better place, then so be it. She'd do anything she possibly needed to in order to get out of this world and into a better place. She'd be able to do it in time, but how soon would that time come? She had no idea. Unfortunately for the girl, though, controlling her Reiatsu was something she was far from being good at doing, and continued to unintentionally exude a very hollow-like reiatsu signature as she continued her night.

[Jeff Franklin]

It's just another day in the life of a Saika, doing his best to avoid returning to Hell as often as possible while still returning in order to become stronger using the spawning pools to keep going. This time Jeff finds himself standing over a dead Hollow in Karakura town, the incident that followed up to this point caused quite a commotion, although with it being as late as it was almost nobody was around to notice. The Hollow he was currently standing over resembled a large bat that would have been about 8 feet tall standing up.

"You were such a let down, I was hoping for more screams of pain and possibly even taking damage myself, but nooOOOooooo, you just had to be weak." Standing up as he was talking Jeff rears back his foot an kicks the body of this beast the moment he finished speaking. First I make it out of the pit again and the first thing I see is this hunk of pathetic meat charge at me, what do I get from it? a waste of time and a bad taste in my mouth, there was no enjoyment as I slaughtered it.

Re-adjusting his mask that always feels as if it will fall off but never actually moving a millimeter Jeff starts to wander away from the scene he left behind, after all the remains stay behind when a Saika kills a Hollow. Moving about 10 feet or so he looks around only to then notice someone walk over to an empty bench and sit down. To cause them trouble or not to case them trouble, hmmmmm, the thought barely crossed his mind before he heads over to sit next to the person, not even sure if the person can see him or not.

Seem to be lost in her own mind Jeff can only do one thing to break the ice, looking her up and down and noticing the sword she currently has he speaks up, "I wouldn't be against you putting that in me, although don't make it a shallow stab, I want to really feel my gut bleeding." Sadly there was no way for Cami to see the smile plastered across this fools face, but then again maybe that's a good thing. As the words flowed from his mouth he rested his right arm on the back of the bench while crossing his leg's.

If she was a Shinigami like he believed there probably wouldn't be much talking and instead take a more pleasurable route, but it as been awhile since he hed some non sinner company so he would try to make it last. "Before you get all upset and fuming at least let this little ol' Saika have a conversation before being sent right back, you wouldn't believe how little enjoyment those guys bring me, it's always die scumbag or I can't wait to kill some children, granted the last one dies a lot faster and I get less pleasure from that."

Taken back almost immediately as this random masked man sat down next to her, Camila listened to what he had to say. "I wouldn't be against you putting that in me, although don't make it a shallow stab, I want to really feel my gut bleeding." Staring at him with nothing but a look of confusion on her face, she took a quick second to process what exactly had been going on. Realizing her Zanpakuto was on her person, she was prompted to respond. 

"...Where the hell did that come from?" She asked aloud, "I, uh, I'm a little confused as to what you're asking for." Standing up and keeping one hand around the grip of her sword, she eyed the man down carefully. Did he know who she was? What she was? There were too many questions that were generally left unanswered, and she wasn't going to tolerate not having them for much longer. In turn, she decided to start asking these questions. "Who are you?? More importantly, what are you? You're able to see my sword, yeah? I find it hard to believe that someone like you is just a normal human."

The man didn't seem like a Shinigami or anything, so that worry slipped from her mind. That said though, she wasn't just going to let her guard down around someone who just kind of looked to be stabbed. Something didn't sit right about that, but she wasn't in any particular ability to really take the time to analyze this guy. Though, she did decide to hear him out. "Before you get all upset and fuming at least let this little ol' Saika have a conversation before being sent right back, you wouldn't believe how little enjoyment those guys bring me, it's always die scumbag or I can't wait to kill some children, granted the last one dies a lot faster and I get less pleasure from that."

So, he was a Saika. A Sinner, of sorts. She sighed, and relaxed her shoulders. At least she wasn't dealing with someone she'd have to try to tear down immediately. Better than a Shinigami, as she saw it. Still cautious, though, she lowered her shoulders. "So, what's someone like you doing here? You said you're a Saika, yeah? What's your name? More importantly, what're you doing here? Shouldn't you be, in, y'know, Hell?"

[Jeff Franklin]

As expected her reaction towards Jeff's initial attempt to begin an interaction was confused but that wouldn't stop Jeff and it seems he didn't scare her off either because she began questioning him. There's only one way Jeff would answer her, "Woah, woah, woah, usually I only answer questions like this when I'm on the torture rack, granted that was one time, tip, never accidental enter a castle in Transylvania, unless your me. What am I doing here? Look behind you and you will see the Hollow I just wrecked a few minutes ago and yes, I am a Saika. My name is Jeff and why am I not in Hell you ask? Well, the simple answer is wouldn't you like not to be there more than you have to?"

With his answering done Jeff will begin watching the cars pass by, at least when it does happen at this time at night. "My question is why does it look like a Shinigami is sitting down as if they have nowhere they belong?" He wasn't straining for an answer to this but it was clear that he was curious, given what he knows about Shinigami thanks to the teachings from Orobas. Shifting in his seat the chains on his wrists and ankles would have been easily heard, trying to find a decent position was annoying after all.

Something is off about this reaper that's different from the rest of them, wonder if there's room for me to make her see what I do? This thought was going through is mind as he was shifting in his seat. "Of course there is other reasons for me to be here, after all my residency is in the pit for a reason, I'm looking for the next fool who is hiding behind a mask." At the moment of mentioning mask he begins re-positioning his own in order to emphasize his words while also trying to stop the feeling of it always wanting to fall off, I didn't help of course as it never seems to move from his face without something actually trying to knock it off.

Finally deciding on the best position he leans his back fully on the back rest of the bench while letting his head fall back allowing him to stare up at the sky. Even if he couldn't make her see things his way and it lead to a battle he would still be happy. "Since I gave you my name it only seems right that you give me yours", turning his head that is currently hanging backwards so that his mask faces her after asking that question. In no rush he just calmly waits for an answer so that he can formulate what he plans on saying or doin next.

Turning around to get a good view of the Hollow that now lie dead on the side of the street, Camila couldn't help but laugh as Jeff spoke. He wasn't in the wrong for saying what he did, and was very much right that she didn't want to spend any extra time in hell that she didn't have to. Though, there was something somewhat comedic about the way he spoke, she'd picked it up quickly that he'd be one hell of an interesting character to deal with.

His next bit of words caught her off guard more than she might've liked to admit at the time. "Well," she started, doing what she could to keep her cool while talking about the subject, "I wouldn't say I'm a Shinigami at this point. I don't affiliate with Soul Society; I'm a rogue, if you will. I was both exiled from and abandoned by that hellscape; no offense, of course. I've been spending most of my time here in the Human World living on my own, taking out those who try to put me down, things like that, y'know? I don't really have a place where I belong."

With that, Camila chuckled to herself. She wasn't lying, she didn't have a place at the time she could call her home. Over the last few weeks she'd been talking to some Hollows and Arrancar in order to get more information about Las Noches, a place she'd heard about being a citadel for Hollows. Thinking she might fit in there, she decided to make that her goal for the time being; to reside in Hueco Mundo first and foremost, and eventually make her was into Las Noches.

"Of course there is other reasons for me to be here, after all my residency is in the pit for a reason, I'm looking for the next fool who is hiding behind a mask." These words elicited a visual shudder from the girl. 'Fool behind a mask'? Were hellions hunting her down now too or something? Going on the cautious side, she placed her hand around the grip of her blade, ready to strike if she needed to. She couldn't allow herself to be blindsided against an opponent again; she just couldn't. She'd gotten too far to lose everything she'd worked for.

Even as he seemed to relax, Camila did the exact opposite. Her own hair seemed to stand on its own. She'd be ready at a moment's notice to lash out against him if need be. As he asked for her name, she began to think of a fake one to give him; there was no way she was going to give him a real name if she already suspected him of being here to hunt her down, so hopefully this would've drawn suspicion off of her? "Not a problem," she said, "you can call me Riegan; Riegan Whitewinter."

[Jeff Franklin]

Not a Shinigami at this point Huh? More like a rogue, fair enough, Jeff will immediately answer, "No offense taken, although I assume that you are looking for a place to belong then?" Ah, Jeff remembered how that felt, belonging nowhere and yet still moving forward without finding a place of his own in his mind. That is until he died, was sentenced to eternal punishment, broke out of said punishment eventually, and then was found by an Akki who made him realize it was possible to belong. This however did not change his mind set and goals from when he was alive, if anything it only caused him to want to strive for these goals more vigorously after seeing all the people that were with him in the pit.

"Riegan Whitewinter? Interesting name, I do have to ask though, do you always treat someone who's conversing with you with gripping your sword so tightly? Because I'm not at all against it." Turning his head to stare back at the sky before continuing to speak, "Don't feel to bad, even if you hide behind a mask basically all adults do, in fact it's very difficult to find a good hearted adult that has no mask of any sort. The only thing in this world that is not corrupted are the children, if only all of them held on to that innocence as they grew up."

Finishing speaking Jeff begins to straighten up and stand, stretching away his easily stiffened muscles while taking a deep yawn. Turning to face the girl in front of him he asks her a question, "Is the mask your wearing hiding something bad enough for me to move you closer to the top? If not then you won't have to worry for awhile." Even though she can't see it he settles his gave upon her, giving her a cold stare showing how little he feels about the life of others while simultaneously giving the sensation of judging her.

Listening to what Jeff had said, Camila began to question herself. She was, in fact, looking for a place to belong. That said, something told her that trusting a Saika was absolutely not something she should've readily done. Especially with something like that. She didn't put it passed him to try to drag her down to hell with him. He belonged there in the first place; was something like that above him? She didn't exactly want to find out. "I am, but that's a path that I need to take myself. I appreciate the offer, though."

Noticing her hand was still on her blade, she decided against moving it. A question like that only went to make her more paranoid, especially given the situation before. She felt like she could be jumped at any moment, and simply wasn't going to deal with that possibility. As she continued to listen to Jeff, she quickly realized that he was ever fascinated with masks, both physical and metaphorical. This only went on to further disturb her, given her circumstances; it made it feel like he'd been watching her for quite some time. 

Though, it was his last question that really set her off. Pulling her blade from the makeshift leather strap around her hip, she pointed the blade straight at the Saika, an evil glare in her eyes. "I'm only going to say this once," she started, "but you're better off biting your damn tongue. Last I checked, I'm not the one whose struggling to escape from damnation; I don't know about you, but I don't think that makes you qualified to talk morals with me. Keep pushing and the only thing that'll come of it is me pushing my blade through your abdomen."

[Jeff Franklin]

"Who said I was trying to escape my sentence of eternal suffering? I actually agree with it as even though I am trying to cleanse the world I understand I am doing it in a way that deserves punishment." Stating this as a matter of fact Jeff then continues on with a response for her later threat, "Don't threaten me with a good time, after one incident I rather enjoy blades piercing through my skin." To show he's being serious Jeff then walks and puts her sword right where his liver would be, after all that would bring a succulent amount of pain.

If she doesn't go through with stabbing him Jeff will then sit back down right next to her and start talking again, "With the way you act it's almost as if you wished you could continue behind whatever mask you used to wear, clearly you admit to having one otherwise you wouldn't get this defensive." Reaching his hands up he places them behind his head, showing her that while she is tense he happens to be comfortable and calm. "Interesting choice of words though, talking morals with you? Dear, I am just telling you how I see the world, after all, just because something bad happened to you doesn't mean my time alive was peachy either."

The one thing I thank my good for nothing horrid father for doing is showing me how people wear mask, that and showing me the pleasure of both receiving and dealing pain. The thought of his father immediately causes some anger to flood into his veins as the images of him showing of as if he was a pure person with no sin in him. Reminding himself of how that fool became his first target eased his growing rage, using this knew calmness he will cross his legs by putting his right leg over his left.

Looking at the girl in front of him one question remains but is asking it a good idea? Will it cause this Riegan to become more uncomfortable than they already are? Will it be worth the tons of pain she might bring hi-

Calmly and coldly as possible Jeff rips the can of worms open, "What caused you to be exiled from your fellow Shinigami?"

As the rather deranged Saika began to position her blade right in front of him, it took every fiber of her being not to lunge forward and ram him through. She was beginning to get on the last edge of her nerves, and was effectively seconds away from taking her anger out in some way or another. Sure, the masochistic act freaked her out a bit, but it wasn't something she wasn't exactly new to; she'd been starting to develop a bit of a streak of her own after dealing with Albin for so long, though not nearly to this extent. Unfortunately for her, she'd decided to back down, though. She wasn't going to fight right now; she needed to keep her cool. No sense in senseless violence.

"With the way you act it's almost as if you wished you could continue behind whatever mask you used to wear, clearly you admit to having one otherwise you wouldn't get this defensive." If she wasn't already close to snapping, she was now. Any last bit of control over herself and her own reiatsu was quickly fading, and the girl's hollow-reiatsu was now beginning to surge around the area. Oh, come on, that damned voice in the back of her head began to speak, just do it already. You heard him before; just stab the damned man. Oh, she absolutely wanted to. Though, she wasn't going to let Albin win. Letting him win was like sacrificing herself just to obtain some temporary satisfaction; she wasn't ready to make that commitment quite yet.

Though, one thing quickly changed her mind on that one. Well, more forced her into a state of emotional insecurity. "What caused you to be exiled from your fellow Shinigami?" This question from the Saika brought about a look of anguish on her face as she began to think, quickly followed by her eyes widening. Almost immediately after, she gripped tightly at her skull and let out a shout of raw, frustrated pain. Almost doubling over and falling to the ground, she continued to grip tightly with both hands now, allowing her weapon to fall to the ground. Her reiatsu quickly began to surge around the area, growing much more aggressive and much more uncontrolled than before.

After a few short moments, the shouting had stopped. All fell silent. Then, a faint chuckling arose from the girl, which quickly evolved into a soft laugh, and then eventually a cacophonous raucous that seemed to overlay her own voice over that of a much deeper one; almost as though the two had become one for the time being. Bending back over, quickly grabbing her blade, and looking back up at the Saika while still hunched over in what likely would've been a rather uncomfortable position, she stared at him with a disturbing smile on her face. Over her left eye, and only right around that, small fragments of what looked like bone began to form around her face.

"So, you wanna know why we left Soul Society? Well, surely this is enough to prove that point on its own, but if you'd like, I don't think we have a problem demonstrating."

[Jeff Franklin]

Jeff could tell this girl was close to snapping, she seemed to just hold herself back from plunging that sword deep inside him, which is real shame in his mind. This seem to escalate after bringing up how defensive she was being, Well, apparently someone has a very touchy subject...... I should probably keep going. That's when he finally decides to ask the question, the question that leads to an absolute melt down from the girl in front of him. Huh, I was expecting less screaming and more stabbing, but I can work with this.

Watching as she continues screaming, even with his pathetic amount of energy sensory Jeff could tell her reiatsu was flaring up now. A short amount of time passed before she finally stopped screaming, then started the light chuckle which grew stronger and louder until it sounded almost as if someone else was laughing with her. Oh? this is new, is she about to tell me we are legion? To bad I'm the one from Hell then. During her unusual fit of laughter she dropped her sword to the ground and when she finally stopped she reached down for it in her already bent state before staring up at him with a slightly creepy smile, I've seen worse.

"I see your into yoga, could never get into that myself." Finishing up with his small statement this crazed girl begins talking back to Jeff, "So, you wanna know why we left Soul Society? Well, surely this is enough to prove that point on its own, but if you'd like, I don't think we have a problem demonstrating." Oh?, now she's definitely offering a good time, I just wonder if I can return the favor. If only she could see the face behind his mask, she would see a smile as big if not bigger plastered across his face.

If the little suggestions Jeff has been putting into her head work out than he prepares to be stabbed through, watching her sword arm he will move just right so that if she aims for his heart it will instead pierce into the right side of his chest. The blade would easily slide right into place as he would quickly attempt grabbing the arm that is currently plunging a sword into him. If he succeeds she would hear him laugh in a way that clearly shows he isn't the sanest person around, he would end the laugh after a second to instead say something to her, "So, do this often? your not bad but this is nothing compared to my teacher."

If she thought he was done she would be far from right, using the 150 strength in his muscles he pushes forward almost unnaturally fast in an attempt to shove her while keeping his grip on her arm. That is when she would feel it, an insane amount of heat would lick her back as she would hopefully be heading straight for this sensation. What Jeff is trying to do is essentially to use his Hell step to cause her to feel some insane burns for a moment before the pain would fade away, this pain would come from the fact that he is bringing her through the portal he created and out with him. "Doesn't that flame feel great! I figured you would enjoy that blaze with me." All of this would only happen if she decides to attack and specifically attack with a stab to the chest.

As her raw spiritual pressure surged and began to coat her body, she stared down the Saika. A fight was going to follow; the question though, was how that fight was going to end. Was she going to strike down the man with ease? Or would he be able to put up a fight against her? It was hard to say at the time; she truthfully had no idea how any of it was going to end, considering she couldn't get a good read on him. That said though, she wasn't even trying to do that anymore. Seeing him on the ground and defeated was much more important for her.

Not looking to waste any time, Camila simply ran up to the Saika without bothering to make use of a step technique, and made a Shunpo Karin-assisted slash against the Saika's chest at 2,000 speed. The goal wasn't to aim for anything in particular, but more to just deal a lot of damage in one quick strike. From there, she'd take a step back in order to see how the Saika reacted. If she wasn't given any clear indication of him making an offensive action within the next few seconds, she'd continue to keep slowly walking backward.

"Hopefully you don't think that this'll be a fight you can just walk away from unscathed, yeah? I promise you by the time I'm done you'll be back down in hell ten times over!" Holding her Zanpakuto directly in front of her, they began to force their reiatsu to circulate around the blade. Within seconds, the blade was fully covered. "Make them bleed, Beuver de Sang!" As the shouting finished, her sword was transformed from its standard katana shape into that of a fully serrated longsword.

Continuing to stare down the Saika, she simply stopped her actions right there. "Y'know what?" She said, "I'll make you a deal; go ahead and try for the first hit. Hell, I'll even stand still~! Let's see exactly what you think you can do. Though, I do promise you, I'll rend you limb from limb if you can't kill with that first strike~!" Holding her arms out wide, and blade pointed down to the ground, she simply waited for the Saika to make a move.

Blood Counters: 9/10

SPOILER: Click to show

{Combat Cutback}Technique Name: Combat Cutback

Class: 4

Technique Type: Reiatsu

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Anyone with 300+ SpPr

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Affects: Persons with high spiritual pressure are known for their large reiatsu pools, but they also tend to be known for their weaker reiatsu strength, which means they have a ton of reiatsu, but not that much to actually use it on. This techniques entire purpose is to take that sheer volume of reiatsu and turn it into a viable, dangerous weapon.

The user builds up a pool of reiatsu internally, increasing the internal pressure, before channeling it towards a set of limbs, such as the hands or feet, discharging it as a weapon. By doing this the user can harness their reiatsu into physical striking power, allowing them to match a physically stronger opponent blow for blow, or possibly even beat them. Upon initial use the user pays 75 reiatsu per 100 strength, maxing out at their spiritual pressure, but afterwards the per post upkeep drops to 25 per 100. The amount of force generated can be changed once per post, going down merely drops the upkeep, but going up, the user must pay the initial upkeep as well as an additional 75 reiatsu for every 100 strength they add to the technique.


How to use technique (How is it activated?): Building up internal reiatsu before focusing it on a set of limbs such as hand hands or feet (or other applicable appendage like a tail). Before mastery of this technique only a single limb, such as one hand or foot, may be selected at a given moment, after master is obtained both may be used at once.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc): Besides a fairly large initial cost and a moderate per post upkeep this technique only has one major drawback; reiatsu burns. When using this technique the user is forcing a large amount of reiatsu to be funneled through a relatively small area, so extended use can be dangerous. 1st degree burns begin to form after about 3 posts, 2nd degree after 5, 3rd after 7, and finally after 9 posts the chosen limb becomes borderline useless and the technique can no longer be used in that area. Healing, specifically of the burns, will reset the timer of this technique.

SPOILER: Click to show

{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.

[Jeff Franklin]

The moment this girl moves it was nearly impossible for Jeff to block most of the slash, however he reacted just in time by raising his arms in an X form using the chains of Hell to block as much of the attack as possible. As any could expect a good gash was left on his right shoulder along with a decent cut on both of his arms. "Dang it, why couldn't you have just stabbed me, it's more personal and intimate than a basic slash attack!" Moving his hand over the wound on he can tell it will probably bleed a good amount.

"Oh? If you want me to take a free shot than I won't pass that opportunity, just be warned, your going to feel this, and it will be glorious!" Finishing up his happy little sentence Jeff takes a step forward lining up for what he is about to do. The moment he lines up Jeff uses hell step to both slam into this girl while simultaneously grabbing her with his 100 speed using his know 1500 stepping speed to rush her through the Hell portal that opened up behind her. While going through it Jeff would purposefully extend the time they spend in-between where they were and where the portal open up to which happens to be close to the remaining body of the dead Hollow. While in the portal Cami and Jeff would feel as if they are burning alive without actually taking any damage.

While they are in the portal Jeff can only do one thing and that is start singing a parody he came up with to the tune of Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. "♪Come with me and you'll see, A world of pure abomination, Take a look and you'll see, All of the abomination, Lets begin with a trim, Cutting off more leaving all the gore, Now you'll know they lost a limb. Don't you find glee in agony, Simply reach out and touch it, Anytime you want just hurt it, Want to harm the world?, There's nothing to it. There is so much I know, When it comes to all abomination, Can't compare when we're there, like your caught in a snare. Don't you find glee in agony, Simply reach out and touch it, Anytime you want just hurt it, Want to harm the world?, There's nothing to it. There is so much I know, When it comes to all abomination ,Can't compare when we're there, like your caught in a snare. ♪"

Upon ending the song Jeff would finally step through the portal with Cami and abruptly stop causing her to fly forward until she hits the ground or forces herself to stop. "Enjoy that little piece of pleasure? No? Just me? Oh well, at least I enjoyed it." After teasing her he then feels the wound again, Too bad it doesn't cauterize the wound while using that ability.

While being grabbed and dragged through hell certainly wasn't enjoyable, Camila was still prepared for something like this. As she felt as though she was being burned alive for a solid minute or two, she continued to hold on through the pain thanks to a fairly solid pain tolerance the girl had. While sure, it was hell on earth in terms of the experience, she was somewhat confident in her ability to work through it. As she was launched through the portal at rather unwanted speeds, she dragged her blade along the ground in order to break her fall, ending up about thirty feet back and almost against a building. Thankfully for her, due to the massive difference in both combatants' spiritual prowess, there was very little chance that impact against her like he'd done wasn't going to leave him absolutely riddled with broken bones.

"Tch," she scoffed, forcing herself to stand up, "glad to have gotten that out of your system? Good; my turn." Taking a few seconds in order to repair her injuries and give herself more energy to continue on, Camila took a deep breath. Shoving her Zanpakuto into the ground, Camila launched herself at Shunpo speeds straight toward the Saika, appearing to his right side as quickly as she could. Not wanting to waste any more time, she readied an attack against him.

Once again aided through Shunpo Karin, Camila swung straight for the man's face with a rather powerful right hook, moving at the same speeds she'd just stepped at, and being backed with a hefty 800 strength thanks to Combat Cutback. Whether the hit connected or not, she'd be sure to take a few steps backward, still bouncing on her feet in order to keep her movement flowing. Something pushed her to want to make this fight hand-to-hand, so that was how she was going to fight for the time.

{Vampiric Healing}Technique Name: Vampiric Healing

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):

By taking three seconds to activate this technique, Camila can spend 200 Reiatsu in order to sacrifice all of her current Blood Counters. By an amount of Blood Counters selected by Camila based on the chart below, an effect is activated based on the amount Sacrificed. This technique can be used on allies by adding an additional two Blood Counters as a cost; alternatively, if the cost is only Blood Counters, then the cost is doubled instead.

1-5 Blood Counters: Camila feels refreshed, giving her a small stamina boost. This is enough of a stamina boost to bypass the stamina drain for this technique. This also closes miniscule wounds, and fixes any small bruising. Wounds that are larger than an inch in length are not fixed.

6-10 Blood Counters: Camila is granted the benefits from sacrificing 1-5 Blood Counters. On top of that, larger wounds are healed, and all bruising is fixed. Wounds that are larger than 5 inches in length are not healed.

11-15 Blood Counters: Camila is granted the benefits of sacrificing 1-10 Blood Counters. On top of that, she's able to repair a fair amount of potentially lethal wounds. All cuts and bruises are healed, and Camila can restore small parts of her limbs (She can restore a lost hand or foot, but not the entire arm or leg).

16-19 Blood Counters: Camila is granted the benefits of sacrificing 1-15 Blood Counters. On top of that, she can restore damage to entire limbs, though only one limb can be healed per use at a time. She also gains 2 points in Poison Resist, but loses them after 1 post. These points are treated as though she had them since the beginning of the encounter, in terms of resisting poison-based effects.

20 Blood Counters: Camila is granted the benefits of sacrificing 1-19 Blood Counters. On top of that, she can restore organ damage. This is limited to organs that will not almost immediately kill her if damaged. If her heart or brain were to take severe hits, these cannot be restored. Though, intestines, lungs, etc. can be restored no problem.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)

This technique is used to heal wounds. It is not meant to restore stamina. It only helps to prevent limbs from being useless through breaks, or to prevent blood loss. Camila will still tire normally. This technique requires at least 1 Blood Counter to activate, and cannot be activated with any less than 1 Blood Counter. Camila must remain stationary during the three seconds this technique requires to activate. If she is hit out of this channeling effect, all Reiatsu and Blood counters spent for activation will not be refunded.

[Jeff Franklin]

Oh boy, it's her turn now, wonder how she's going to try slaughtering me? decapitation maybe? Crushing my heart? However she does it I hope it will be good. Jeff was excited about the prospects of her potential choices, but he knew he had to try his best not to die immediately either, otherwise the pain would end to quickly and he wouldn't get much fun from it. Focusing on her he gets into a primal position, rising his hands up to about chest level after wrapping his fist and wrist in the Hell chain, gripping them to form a makeshift weapon and buckler.

That's when it happens, she disappears from sight only to reappear next to him, aiming to smash his face with an extremely sped up sucker punch. Bones creaking and lacerations from his previous impact when he quite literally ran into her, he was pushing himself at the moment in order to avoid an instant KO. There was only one way he knew how to effectively dodge this attack, stepping sideways another portal opens up, thanks to his 15x speed he manages to avoid most of the attack. Sadly with her speed increasing technique affecting her arm Jeff still gets socked breaking the portion of his mask covering his mouth, also popping out a couple of teeth in the process. 

Now gone through the portal it would take Cami a moment to actually find him, however two things give him away relatively fast. The first thing that clearly gives him away is the rattling of his chains, this rattling also happens to come from above her. The second thing is the one thing Cami will probably hate him for, that thing is while he is literally standing upside down as if he was currently walking on the ceiling with his feet ablaze in a black flame, he happens to be close enough to reach his hand down and pat her on the head. 

"Good job, you gave me some good damage, I'll have to savor this feeling, now, should we continue." Praising her as if he was speaking to a child Jeff prepares himself for her next attack while remaining in the same spot in the air. This time he understands her speed, the thing is understanding still isn't having the ability to counter it, at least not counter it effectively.

Glad to see her attack went through, Camila let out a cacophonous laughter. Even as Jeff vanished through the portal, she still took the steps back and waited for the damned Saika to reappear. Pent up rage and Albin's sway over her mind had begun to consume her, and definitely not for the better. She'd been bent on effectively tearing through the hellion, and was going to do absolutely everything she could to put him down like a dog; especially after seeing that damned smile on his face underneath the mask.

Keeping her eyes open and shifting her vision around as she bounced about, Camila took a few seconds to try to locate the man, but unfortunately to no real avail. There had to be something she could've done in order to find him, but she wasn't quite sure on what to do. He'd reappear at some point, so all she could do was take the time to try to locate him, and hopefully things would've ended well from there. There was no way that he'd be able to just escape forever, he'd eventually have to-

The very moment she felt a touch on her head, she immediately shot her arm up at the same 2,000 speed she'd been utilizing through Shunpo Karin, and looked to grab onto the Saika's wrist. If she had a good grip on him, she'd look to crush the bones in his wrist in her hand, and throw him to the ground with her full 800 strength backing her at the time. The goal was to throw him down in a way that he fell in front of her, and so that she'd be able to slam his back into the pavement while still maintaining a grip on his hopefully broken wrist.

Pulling her other open hand back if she had him on the ground, Camila launched it toward the Saika's face as hard as she could, though some of her strength behind the punch diluted in order to mingle with her reiatsu for a punch that likely would've felt like a shotgun blast at point-blank with how many points of impact there would've been against his face. Altogether the force of the attack was only 688, as opposed to her 800 strength at the time.

Grunting aloud as not only was the skin on her hand torn from the reiatsu-infused punch, but also due to her arms being singed by reiatsu burns thanks to Combat Cutback, Camila took a step back from where she was, regardless of whether or not she'd managed to perform that little set of actions against Jeff. "Don't you DARE fucking touch my head again, else I'll rip yours clean off." Her eyes maintained a rather agitated look; if only looks could kill.

{Sandjouken}
Technique Name: [Sandjouken (Lit. Shotgun Fist)]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: Other

Technique Element: none

Technique Description and Effects:

An intense burst of sharpened reiatsu, augmented by the user's physical strength. If visible it takes the form of a number of spikes that rapidly form from the end of the users fist during a punch, Although you need an ES of at least 200 to be able to see the spikes. It was adapted to fight against Hierro when the zanpakuto was disabled, but it was soon discovered anyone could learn it, even the Arrancar it was designed to fight.

It adds 75% of the users strength to 25% of their RS for the strength and RS of the attack. ( 75% str + 25% RS = Atk RS and Str)

It allows the physically weak to use their Reiatsu to inflict physical damage, and it allows the physically strong to use their strength to inflict reishi damage.

How to use technique:
To activate this technique the user must focus their Reiatsu into compressed spikes underneath the skin on their hand, and release them as they punch. It takes a decent amount of reiatsu control, but is easier to learn than kido.

Technique Drawbacks:

Every time this technique is used it costs 150 reiatsu and damages the user's hand by tearing up the skin.

The user must choose which strength/reiatsu strength combination they want when they learn this attack, and it cannot be changed without relearning the attack. You cannot know both versions of the technique at the same time.

To learn this technique you must have 2 in any martial art.
