Nine hundred floors. Nine hundred FUCKING floors. It took Camila well over a few hours just to finally arrive to her destination. On this day, she was on a mission. One that could've easily cost the poor girl her own life. Ultimately, if things took a turn for the worst, she'd be stomped into the ground into a bloodied pulp. Though, much as one could expect from the opposite side of the spectrum, should she take the upper hand here, her foe - the strongest enemy she'd be fighting to date - was going to be torn down and cast deep into hell. Her own emotions and aggressions were not going to allow her to let this man live.
Her target? None other than the right hand of Mr. Souken Kouhai. The same man she'd met with not too long ago, and the same man that had turned her down initially. She was going to show him that she was capable; full Vizard or not. She was going to stomp this asshole into the ground, and into nothing more than a stain of reiatsu and viscera on the walls of the nine hundredth fucking floor. As she approached the entrance to the door, knowing full-well Guujin was there at the moment thanks to a tip-off from some lesser hollow at the time. She gripped her blade tightly, and forcefully jammed the pommel of her Zanpakuto straight into the door, obliterating it with relative ease. As the wooden door crumbled, Camila stood where the dust allowed itself to release, facing ahead of her.
"GUUJIN!" she shouted aggressively, her reiatsu flaring around her, Camila allowing it to thickly coat the area around her, "YOU DIE, TODAY!" As she finished speaking, she dropped her blade to her side, and allowed her reiatsu to shift, granting her access to more raw force of spirit as opposed to her ability to be precise with said reiatsu. Deciding to not release just quite yet, Camila stood valiantly facing a foe that may or may not have actually been there, preparing herself for any kind of feint that might've been coming her way. She wasn't going to let herself be caught off-guard; she couldn't afford to do so when her life was so clearly on the line.

Guujin sat in his room idly waiting for Camilla to make her way up to the very long and drawn up passageway. He chuckled softly to himself as he thought about how angry she'd been prior at Kouhai let alone now that she'd been forced to deal with the trip to find him. It was simply priceless her anger would be bright enough that the room may be cast in a shade of red. And for once it wouldn't be from someone elses blood! Still though there was a part of Guujin that was irate at having to wait for her. He'd long since wanted to drag her into a duel to the death but he'd been patient. As well as ordered. . . but mostly patient. And it seems his patience was worth the effort. Even his lord had given him permission to be done with her if she decided to "Prove her point." As he'd put it.
Thus here was Guujin. "Reading" a book and just idly sitting by waiting for his chance. Alas he DID have to follow the one thing Souken told him specifically to do. And that was also aggravating but he'd been told to do such thus he would. He wasn't in a position to argue afterall, especially now that his reward was making her way up here. Speaking of said reward right as Guujin was considering getting up and taking a leak from how long it was taking Camilla, she finally had the decency to show up. And in addition she'd made certain that his room was improved via lack of doors! "Well at least she's done me the honor of having a breeze in the room now. This place was burning up without it.
His smile grew wide and prideful, already looking down on Camilla with his head tilted back some. And thus started the song and dance he usually got from his "challengers". Dramatic entrance, followed by death threats. And then they readied themselves to attack or straight up did attack. She was the former. "Oh wow, that's only the 7th time I've heard that this week. And the 438th time I've heard that in my life. I'm honored, truly, that I can get such an original greeting from our very own the resident abandoned pup. An experience I'll remember for the rest of my life." As he spoke Guujin rose from his chair with his book left on the table abandoned not unlike Camilla was. Then again was it really abandonment when someone elses trash came knocking on your doorstep? Not in Guujin's mind anyway.
It did not go unnoticed by Guujin that Camilla had shifted her reiatsu over. The sheer volume she was pumping out wasn't what he'd felt prior in the throne room. Which was a nice little indicator of how serious she was and possibly her skill level. It wasn't a hard technique to learn but it wasn't a common thing to use, especially prior to a fight either. If nothing else was true about Camilla this was not her first fight. With a quick neck pop and a crack of his knuckles Guujin took Camilla and her current outpouring of reiatsu about as seriously as she had a chance at joining Kouhai. This only exemplified by his gesture to the hidden companion down the hall, the very same hollow that had informed Camilla about his location. With a small nod the hollow created a garganta beneath Camilla's feet quickly enveloping her into the abyss only momentarily before spitting her out into some random dune outside the fortress.
"Ahh the look on her face was simply priceless! They always fall for the garganta beneath the feet! It's like no one realizes that garganta don't have to be made immediately next to to the user! Ahh well, it's time to take out the trash. Oh but first I need my weapon!" Guujin quickly walked over to his duffel back and grabbed not only his sword but a small black satchel bag of "goodies". Would be a shame to start a fight without all his trinkets. If she's even a quarter as good as she claims then these will only serve to make the fight that much more entertaining. From there he strutted his way through the garganta in the ground, fell through the abyss and then fell out onto the sands below about 15 feet away from Camilla. Unlike Camilla however he was akin to a cat and landed on his feet with more grace than should really be possible. From there he simply gave her a bow so deep that he almost touched his legs while keeping one hand on his chest and the other extended out.
"I do hope you enjoy the change of accomadations my dear stray. Sadly I am not allowed to fight you inside. You know how concerned Souuken gets about breaking a window let alone smudging the walls with any trace of color. Still if there's anything I can do to make your welcome better let me know. I am at your service afterall.~" As he glanced up he pulled out his Khanda, she was his favorite tool though sadly not as durable as one might enjoy. Zanpakuto were such fickle things for him afterall thus he needed a more plain weapon. But at least she'd done many a beheading. She'd likely do another given Camilla's sheer aggression towards all around her now. But there was one problem he'd noted the moment she'd entered his abode. Her reiatsu output. Much to many's surprise Guujin wasn't stupid though the facade aided him greatly. He knew by the prior outburst alone her soul held far more reiatsu than his. He'd have to play things very carefully to not suffer the effects of it.
So with this in mind he simply allowed Camilla the first move. A professional curtesy if you will given she'd been so bold as to challenge him. In the meantime he'd simply watch carefully as he considered what she'd do. Releasing is nearly a guarantee given her display. Perhaps she'll then combo it with a shunpo to my back or blindside. Shinigami are so typical of doing such. Perhaps if she was physically inclined with the aid of Shunpo Karin to increase her likelihood of successfully hitting me. Or would she keep her distance? That would depend on how much she's unearthed about me. Well I suppose that's half the fun to see where her mind goes to first.

Upon breaking down the door to his own room, Camila stood where she was Guujin. "Oh wow, that's only the 7th time I've heard that this week. And the 438th time I've heard that in my life. I'm honored, truly, that I can get such an original greeting from our very own the resident abandoned pup. An experience I'll remember for the rest of my life." His words cut through her like a serrated knife cuts through butter; with tremendous amounts of excess damage. As he set his book down, Camila did everything in her power not to lash out at him quite yet. She was going to wait and see just what he was about ahead of time.
Unfortunately for her, this was something she absolutely should've waited on. As she stood there, Camila was quickly whisked away by the same hollow she'd thought had been helping her thus far. Thrown into a Garganta, and whisked out somewhere in the sands of Hueco Mundo. As if she didn't already have enough fucking trouble getting there in the first place. As she fell out, and with a quick tumble down the sands, she caught her balance and stood up. Shortly thereafter, she took notice of the fact Guujin had also made an appearance out here, and somewhat gracefully at that.
"I do hope you enjoy the change of accommodations my dear stray. Sadly I am not allowed to fight you inside. You know how concerned Souuken gets about breaking a window let alone smudging the walls with any trace of color. Still if there's anything I can do to make your welcome better let me know. I am at your service afterall.~" Camila let out a soft sigh as she dusted herself off. "I'm of no concern as to where we're gonna fight. If you've decided your funeral is going to take place out here, then so be it; I can be just as accommodating." Gripping her Zanpakuto tightly, Camila pointed the weapon straight down toward the ground.
Not a second later, the girl proceeded to run herself through, letting out a hoarse shout; her release command. "DRAIN THEM OF THEIR ESSENCE AND CONSUME IT ALL, GOUGE DE SANG!" As soon as she finished speaking, a blinding burst of crimson spiritual energy released itself from her core, coating the area in a bright red. As this flash dissipated, Camila stood, her head pointed straight up, wound completely closed and no Zanpakuto to be found anywhere; almost as though it had been absorbed entirely within her. Letting out a deep exhale, she slowly lowered her head.
Staring down Guujin, Camila opened up her palms. At this point, two different things began to happen. For one, Starting from her hands, and quickly working its way up, a crimson suit of metallic armor began to form around the girl, covering everything except for certain sections of her face. Her chin, the sides of her face, and her forehead were completely covered, alongside the rest of her body. Behind her, 10 separate weapons began to take shape. These weapons all took on the appearance of what looked to be a set of muskets, all with barrels pointing downward toward the sands and armed with a full-barrel bayonet.
Forcing her reiatsu around her arms, Camila took a quick second to put herself into a rhythmic mindset, and launched herself toward her fellow Shinigami traitor via Shunpo, travelling forward at 4500 speed. Her goal here was to appear crouched just before him, and transition into an uppercut strike with not only her reiatsu-charged fist, but with each of these ten bladed muskets as well. Whether the attack missed or not, the girl quickly transitioned into a left hook toward the man's face, once again looking to cleave through him with each of these muskets flowing like water to their destination at rather quick speeds. If Guujin had tried to create some distance at all during these strikes, he'd very quickly find himself pelted with quite a number of bolts of reiatsu from these muskets.
Taking a quick step back, Camila went on the defensive. If her strikes didn't land, so be it; she had a strong opener, and that was really all she could ask for at the moment. If her strikes did land, though, she'd be putting herself in a rather heavily advantageous position. Ultimately though, whether or not this was the case wasn't a concern; she'd wanted to see just what Guujin was going to be capable of doing. Fighting against an opponent that she couldn't predict was something she wasn't exactly fond of, especially given her reaction time left a lot to be desired.

Guujin smiled widely despite the menacing aura radiating off him in spades. For one thing he immensely enjoyed the look on her face from every point of their interaction thus far. Restraint from coming after him despite clearly wanting to. Then hotswapping to such confidence upon letting out what could only be her bankai's catch phrase, especially considering her even more explosive output of reiatsu. He simply continued to watch her curious to see what she'd do next as her energy stabilized and she came back without a weapon nor the serious injury to her stomach. So that's unique. Self harm isn't my first choice of bankai requirements. But clearly it's worked out. Thus far. I wonder wh- That's when Guujin saw it. Her weapons and armor getting created out of blood.
He knew in a heartbeat what to do. He was going to show her in a moment at least one reason why he was choosen by Kouhai. As Camilla's items formed Guujin's reiatsu exploded outward, not unlike Camilla's in both her initial meeting as well as during her bankai. However there was a couple differences between their explosive outbursts. The first being what would happen to Camilla's weapons and armor. As soon as Guujin released his limiters his peach colored reiatsu shot out and began an intense sandstorm. So intense in fact that Camilla had no chance of hearing or seeing Guujin, let alone hear anything. Well anything aside from the raging sands and the winds powered by Guujin's reiatsu that continued to assault her without a care in the world. Sadly though the sand was the least of her concerns.
As Camilla would immediately find out her weapons and arms that were generated out of blood had still been liquid at the time Guujin released his reiatsu storm. And because of that they were immediately drained of moisture and any remaining metals, minerals, and any other material that could be ground into sand were turned into just that. Within the next few moments her items would be completely withered away just like her reiastsu spent to create them. Only then would she realize there was another issue at hand as well. Her mouth would grow dry. The saliva gone almost immediately as it was made. No conversion to sand but it seemingly evaporated.
By this point Camilla would have no issues realizing that Guujin's power was simply Desertification. Anything and everything around him was going to be drained of moisture and transformed into sand. And Camilla was dead center in the storm. Guujin on the other hand, with some difficulty could still see Camilla. Having trained himself long ago to actually be capable of using his sight despite the storm's inherent difficulty in making his senses less than useful. He chuckled to himself, making no attempt to hide it. So it is true! She has blood powers and potent ones also! Ahh poor girl, she must have gotten quite the confidence boost from our resident flame arrancar because she could counter him. Flames afterall can be doused with significant amounts of blood. Alas it will not be that easy my dear.~ What kind of hand to Souken would I be if I couldn't give him home field advantage?
His smile though wide and full of mockery decreased to a light frown and he considered what to do next. Though he had an advantage against her she was still boasting far more reiatsu than him. Even now he couldn't willy nilly attack her. Hmm. . . If I can't hit her directly then there's really only one thing that will work. And that's a lovely game of tag. So let the games begin.~ Guujin took a moment to keep an eye on Camilla before swinging his Khanda across his front side, using his full strength behind it. To no one's surprise he was very easily able to create a large shockwave that was 2 feet wide and aimed directly at Camilla's torso with the bottom most portion cutting into the shifting sands beneath and the upper most steadily growing upwards of 10 feet in height.
From there Guujin did the very thing he predicted Camilla would do. He stepped behind her but unlike how most shinigami would simply be within touching distance and then let loose an attack he'd be about 3 feet away from her. And worse yet he'd used not the plain jane Shunpo, but Shunpo Eichi. When he landed he caused a far larger shockwave to blast out from around him at Camilla's backside. If she dodged backwards and to either side at less than 3 feet she'd undoubtably be hit by the wall of force. The downside to this however was that while the wall of sand would hide him normally this blast of shockwave would, momentarily, open up sight to him.
That would be if Camilla was looking behind her. Which in all fairness, Guujin half expected it. It was incredibly commonplace to do such. In fact she may have even expected the shockwaves given it wasn't hard to predict that a couple blasts were heading her way. Especially after the initial shockwave. But perhaps he was giving her too much credit. In truth Guujin had no real way of knowing how much Camilla could achieve on her own and what her inner hollow could do. Thus despite the opportunity to continue the assault he stood still until the window showing him closed. From there he'd start straffing Camilla to her right making sure to say at least 5 feet away to ensure he had at least some amount of sand between them.
Guujin's power is a surprisingly simple ability, it is desertification. Simply put Guujin creates sand out of anything he or his reiatsu come in contact with. This is easy for him to manage because while Guujin is going "All Out" he gains an aura that looks akin to a localized desert storm. This storm is generated by his reiatsu and reaches out 2 feet for every 50 reiatsu strength Guujin has. Anything within this aura is rapidly drained of moisture and grinded up to produce sand. This sand then gets flung into the storm generated by Guujin's reiatsu until he either stops or it gets flung out of the storm. The sand itself however has no inherent ability to damage an individual as it is too fine and uncontrolled.
The environment including plant life, the earth, solid materials, etc is rapidly worn away and grinded down into sand. In a non-desert environment Guujin's aura eats away at the ground 3 feet every post and as long as the plants and other solid materials are consumed in their entirety in a single post so long as they are not spiritually reinforced. For living beings that are not spiritually powerful the case is much the same. They can endure a single post due to being drained of moisture prior to being grinded into sand. The second post however is lethal to them as they are made into sand.
This changes a bit for spiritually potent beings. For being with spiritual power the time it takes to be drained of moisture depends on their highest spiritual stat. Should Guujin's RS and the opponent's OS be equal then it will take 8 posts for the aura to steal all the moisture from his opponent and turn them into sand. For opponents with less spiritual stats than him it will take 5 posts. For opponents with higher OS than him it depends. From 1% to 25% higher they will endure for another 3 posts. From 26% to 49% they are to endure 6 posts. Anything at or above 50% will be immune to the moisture draining effect.
The last special mention comes with liquids of any sort. Non-spiritually enhanced liquid ceases to exist in the presence of Guujin's aura. When a spiritually reinforced liquid interacts with Guujin's aura the liquid must have a 25% higher OS to Guujin's RS otherwise it is immediately absorbed by the aura. In the event that the liquid does meet this requirement to exist it will still be hindered by having a 25% reduction in OS and durability. If the liquid has 50% higher OS upon the initial clash then the liquid is unaffected.
Lastly there is one other point to mention when it comes to Guujin's aura. Should Guujin create enough sand with it (At least 15 feet of sand) or should he be in an area with a large volume of sand (Beach, desert, etc.) the aura will have enough sand being thrown around to hinder both Guujin and his opponents sight and sound. This is due to simply creating a localized sandstorm that throws around an immense amount of sand constantly. To see through the sand requires an individual to have 300 senses and to hear anything but the storm requires 200 senses. Energy Sensory however can still be used to find Guujin if one has sufficient ability.
The "exploding shunpo" technique allows the user, for three times the normal shunpo cost, to initiate a shunpo. This shunpo releases far more power, and therefore anywhere within a meter of the user will be hit with an explosive shockwave equivalent to the user's physical strength when the shunpo is used.
How to use technique:
Stated above.
Drawback:
Stamina drain. Reiatsu cost. Can only be used twice per post.
As quickly as the girl had manifested all of her weapons and armor, they'd quickly faded from existence. Almost immediately, when coupled with her quickly-drying mouth, she'd known immediately what this man had been capable of, and to say she was fighting an uphill battle from here was an understatement. She was in for one hell of a fight, that much was certain. As the sands quickly surged around the two of them, she immediately made note of the why the two of them had been brought out to the sands of Hueco Mundo for combat; further reinforcing the fact that she should've fought to stay where they were.
While not knowing quite how long she had to outlast this man, she knew immediately that staying inside of this storm was a god-awful idea that she simply couldn't afford to deal with at current. Standing around dawdling was going to get herself killed, and she was not going to go down to this man. She simply couldn't afford to do so. As she thought, the girl found herself quickly becoming the target of an attack from her fellow Shinigami traitor. As the shockwave made so much as the slightest bit of contact with her skin, she began to separate and fragment into a localized swarm of bats, allowing the blast to fly through her.
With a screech from each individual bat, these small beasts quickly flew four feet in the direction of the shockwave, as Guujin seemed to launch himself in the complete opposite direction, with what would've been a deafening boom accompanied by a rather massive shockwave, if it weren't for the sandstorm kicking itself up and practically deafening the girl as it was. As the shockwave made its way toward the girl who was just beginning to reform, Camila allowed herself to be rocketed by the blast, sending her tumbling and flying forward through the sand as she barreled through the air, and allowed her body to take the full force of the hit.
While sure, she was put in a rather noteworthy amount of pain, she wasn't going to allow herself to get caught in that damned blast. It seemed that Guujin's carelessness was going to be his downfall, as Camila had now - rather effortlessly - cleared well over a hundred feet from the Shinigami; with a shockwave applying a force of nearly 1,400 Strength launching her - a force that would've easily been enough to obliterate numerous buildings - there was no chance that this girl wasn't going to be sent quite the distance. For now, Camila allowed herself to rest against the sands.
Gritting her teeth and standing back up, Camila took a deep breath. Despite still being notably wounded, and with a shattered right arm, Camila forced herself to take in the area as quickly as she could. She knew that momentarily Guujin would likely be upon her, and she needed to capitalize on that as best she could. Taking a moment to herself, she began to run through everything she needed to make note of. For one, her powers didn't work in his little zone. She had a fairly good assumption as to why that was the case, and knew that truthfully, there was no way she was getting in that zone comfortably. She'd have to either wear the man down from a range, or try to get him to tire himself out.
She also quickly made note of the fact that the man significantly outmatched her in terms of raw offensive potential. To say she was in a rough situation was a rather dramatic understatement. She'd need to do what she could to take any advantage she could get. As she realized that her saliva began to produce again, she made note of the fact that so long as she could consistently play keep-away, she'd be okay. And given Guujin seemed to rely strictly on brute-forcing his way through this fight, that didn't seem to be the most difficult thing in the world.
Taking a quick Glance around the desert around her, she made note of the fact that she was ever so slightly closer to Las Noches once more. Seems she was being blasted back toward there; something she could potentially take advantage of. Firstly, though, she had to deal with that damned arm. Using her one good arm to tuck her broken one against her, Camila took the time to launch herself back toward Las Noches with Shunpo. She was going to do everything she could to keep clearing the distance between herself and Guujin if she could, even if it meant she was going to suffer for doing so.
Drawing on her own wounds for a larger source of blood, Camila added to her own collective pool of blood and reiatsu to use against her opponent. She'd need every bit she could get at current, and wasn't going to give up the opportunity to leech as much as she could from Guujin, herself, or even any hollow that she'd find nearby. Absolutely nothing was going to be safe from this girl's attempt to keep herself stable in this fight against the absolute monster that Guujin seemed to be. She'd find an out; she always did. She couldn't allow this time to be any different.

Guujin had miscalculated. It wasn't often that he did but he had expected Camilla to respond with an attack or attempt to otherwise circumvent the shockwaves he'd used. Which in some regard was accomplished when she'd changed into bats. Well at least I know what her powers are based off of. If she were an arrancar this would likely be far more useful to her. Still with Camilla taking the second shockwave and being blasted out of his sandstorm Guujin didn't have many options but to go after her. And he could guess, with some degree of accuracy, where she went but he still needed to actually find her. There was only one option. He needed to bring "Him". Taking out a few orbs in a satchel from his waist he immediately crushed them. Their reiatsu however while original light blue immediately darkened and turned malevolent in nature before being absorbed into his ring. From there he simply threw the ring on his hand down to the ground.
Within seconds it immediately expanded into a massive portal. And from this portal came Brutus, resident gargoyle companion of his. Brutus simply glanced at him, then glanced around him and immediately looked back up at Guujin. "What do you want?" Guujin immensely enjoyed his hellion companion, really servant if he were honest. Unable to defy him yet that didn't stop Brutus from actively making it known that he had no concern or care for him in capacity. "Take me to Camilla. She's the stray pup I'm going to put down." As he spoke to Brutus he simply smiled wider and wider with his energy growing steadily less light and peach color and ebbing into near a burnt orange instead. Meanwhile Brutus simply rolled his eyes and activated his infernus. Certain that regardless of what Guujin may have wanted that this would be more than enough to find Camilla.
A quick flex of his reiatsu and a door appeared outside the storm and that's when he spied her. The shinigami was running, as fast as humanly possible at that. Even going as far as using her racial step tech to ensure more distance was placed between the two. If Brutus had to guess she was about 200 feet away. Easily within range for him assuming he made a second door. A third would simply ensure she was within Guujin's sandstorm completely even if she shunpo'd again. Shutting the door just outside the sandstorm Brutus quickly flexed his reiatsu again and generated a door at the very edge of his immediate radius. Then promptly motioned for Guujin to walk through with a single hand. Guujin amused as ever leisurely walked through and was now only 80 feet away from Camilla. If she looked behind her she'd immediately see that the storm seemed to just "jump" ahead. And jump it did just as jump it would yet again. With Brutus safely concealed behind and momentarily within the storm she'd have no real means of figuring out how he got so close so quickly. She would however get a clue when Guujin jumped again.
See by the time Brutus had walked up to Guujin, via his own door, she was already easily within range of his next opening. He'd flex his reiatsu one final time to generate a door not but 20 feet before Camilla and with that Guujin was finally in close range and Camilla would be lost within the storm yet again. From here Brutus followed but only after he sensed Guujin shunpo within 5 feet of her. He was required to stay close, he was not however required to be canon fodder for the degenerate shinigami. So he simply sat upon the sand 20 feet from Camilla and Guujin and "watched" via his ability to sense both of their energies.
Guujin however was growing more excited. Once he'd seen that she was fleeing that was it. He couldn't contain himself anymore. He knew how this would end and it wasn't with her surviving the encounter. She was going to be his most recent kill. As he walked through the doors Brutus made he had to wonder just how would he kill her? There were so many ways. Granted those ways were limited by her current living status because he knew he'd be coming out with at least some wound to him. And once she was a corpse there simply wouldn't be any reason to keep destroying her body. She wasn't going to be alive or present to feel it. So many many options, and yet I feel so limited. What can be efficient but satisfying? What will kill her on the spot I wonder?
And as he shunpo'd before Camilla an idea formed in his head. He'd use a simple techinque he'd learned long ago and far too seldomly used. Onibi. With a quick chop on his Khanda's base he now had a blunted area as opposed to the sharpened edge it usually had. In the meantime he simply walked closer to Camilla slowly, taking his time in stalking her so that if she felt any fear, had any moments of anguish, anger, resentment, anything really he could savor them. So generous was he that he'd even let her have a few final words if she so chose. But the end result would still be the same. She would die and it would be by his hand. Once she'd finished her speech, attempt a final counter attack, or whatever it was that she'd decide to do he'd combine a few techniques together to ensure her death, though swift, would be immensely painful. To start he pooled as much reiatsu as he could muster into his legs, then proceeded to use Utsusemi and all but teleported past her. However in addition to it he applied the attack that senka was known for, a single stab attack that would sever both of her soul chains.
This application was usually with regards to a blade however and usually was minimal at best as far as the damage inflicted to the body. But Guujin was anything but by the books. And instead of using his Khanda's blade he used the now blunted hilt and even went so far as to bolster the effect of his blunted attack with Onibi. The moment it came in contact with Camilla she was finished. As mentioned normally a senka sword strike was clean, efficient, and minimal in bodily damage. Onibi was not. Using pure force in addition to a localized cylindrical shockwave made sure that when Guujin reappeared she was infinitely closer to the Arrancars that she aspired to. The difference being she had damn near no torso left. Collar bone down to her navel and with just a bit of flesh, skin, and whatever else made up her sides was all that connected her upper and lower torso together. Her soul chains were shattered. He body was rendered barely hanging together and at best she had a few moments to endure a pain that could only be described as undescribable. Assuming she even had nerve endings enough to attempt to process it.
Guujin however in this process had become coated in the blood her body had damn near exploded out with. And though it rapidly left him he couldn't help but damn near groan in the euphoria of feeling the warmth of her blood all over his body. In a way, he felt closer to Camilla than ever before. And that was saying something given the two were similar in at least a few ways. But now he could claim to be so very close to Camilla in a way no one else would get. She will forever belong to me now. Just as saving another's life connects you to them so to does taking it. And you Camilla are mine for all eternity.~ Hahahahahhaaa! It'd take a moment for Guujin to calm himself down and once he was calm enough to not shudder from the memory of enacting Camilla's final blow he turned around to see what was left. The corpse or the last vestiges of life remaining yet only moments from fading. And if she was still present he'd listen. Calmly. Patiently. With his mocking and disingenous smile ever present. And when she was done. And she'd finally passed on to wherever she would go. That was when he'd do Camilla one final act of disrespect.
He'd claim her weapon. The last remaining monument to Camilla and her foolish attempt to join the Espada. Alongside with her many other foolish attempts such as trying to force Souken to recognize her by attempting to kill himself. From there he simply allowed his sandstorm to continue raging until her entire body was just grains of sand in the endless body of sand that encompassed Hueco Mundo. Forever forgotten. Forever meaningless. And yet, forever under his power.
OOC:
Due to the agreed outcome of this fight. Costs for any items and techniques were not counted. This is simply Guujin's finishing post with all the cinematic flair that felt right.
Poor Ludwig, he's just a struggling artist that can’t get work done because his dog and cat won’t stop fighting. -Asmoskon
(OOC: Adding on to Ryou's comment, I'd still like Cami's portion of this to be graded for Ryo; I'll be using said Ryo to pick up a full-reset amnesia pill for her Hason rewrite.)
Beginning to make her hasty retreat, Camila began to sprint as fast as she possibly could toward the city-sized palace that was Las Noches. She needed to make her way back there. Her very life depended on that fact, and she simply couldn't take any other result; she'd needed to get back to Las Noches. It was this emotional, almost ingrained urge that kept her pushing past what she'd otherwise be capable of. Being almost entirely out of reiatsu, she was simply running off of raw adrenaline at this point. Adrenaline that would've kept her going, if it weren't for the fact that it seemed Guujin had another plan for her.
Without taking the opportunity to turn around and actually glance for herself, Camila instead kept running as Guujin and Brutus appeared and subsequently vanished again. Though, the second time not through this teleportation trick, and instead through a technique she'd actually been meaning to learn herself; Utsusemi. As he quickly moved past her, far faster than she could even hope to perceive, she simply didn't have the time to do much of anything to react. He was simply far faster than she could ever hope to deal with at current, and, unfortunately for her, this meant her demise was coming in full-force.
Utsusemi was a technique of subtlety. One that quickly worked to debilitate its foes, and shut them down from the 'inside' out. Though, the one that Guujin had used in combination with it wasn't. The very moment she was struck, her run quickly devolved into a roll amongst the sand, unable to control her own momentum and eventually moving at a rate her own head couldn't hope to process; not with everything that had just happened. Thankfully, due to the shock of everything, and the adrenaline still pumping through her, she wasn't able to feel a damn thing. While not outright dead, though, she wasn't going to last much longer at all.
When she finally came to a halt, resting on what remained of her back in the sand, she simply stared up into the darkened sky, trying to force the remainder of her reiatsu to pump throughout this wound to heal what she could. Unfortunately, she had nowhere near enough to allow for that to happen; that, and her supply of blood was quickly leaving her body. Without being able to put up much of a fight, Camila had been defeated. A singular tear began to roll down her cheek as she meekly raised her hand toward the sky. She wasn't going to allow herself to give up like that if she didn't need to; despite only having a few short moments left to continue to process everything, she couldn't shake the urge to keep fighting.
"This... wasn't how things were supposed to happen," she meekly spat out, barely able to speak. Clenching her fist as hard as she could - which, frankly wasn't a lot given the current situation - Camila did what she could to hold on for as long as she could muster. She didn't want to have to suffer the cold embrace of death once more, and was going to try to prolong her fate as much as she could. Thankfully for her, though, it seemed that the world had a much, much different plan for her, as she wasn't going to be cast into the Soul Cycle, but was sentenced to atone for her actions as a Shinigami.
Beneath her, a surge of spiritual energy was released not from the girl, but from the sand below her. A spiraling void of deep red light quickly began to form around her, and expanded outward to rest beneath her entire body in a matter of seconds. Despite not being able to feel anything else, a feeling of sinister warmth quickly enveloped the girl as her eyes widened; she'd known exactly what that meant. The girl was going to be cast into the depths of the underworld, and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it.
Almost as quickly as the portal had formed, deep red chains had begun to make their way out and into the air, arching over where the girl had been laying, and immediately fell back down to tighten against her. The very moment they'd made contact with her, they had already begun searing into her flesh, prompting a pained shout from the girl. Eventually, every major part of her body had been covered by these chains; her legs were bound, her torso bound with chains wrapping through and around the cavity Guujin had created, and even binding her neck and arms, causing an amount of suffering more agonizing than she could even hope to describe.
The moment that all of these chains had been tightened, they'd begun to pull even more, dragging the girl not through the sand, but through this portal into Hell. It seemed that her crimes against the world had finally caught up to her; Camila was going to be damned for eternity. The very moment parts of her body began to enter this portal, her flesh began to warp. Her skin blackened and charred, as sections of her body began to crack with molten light. Feeling began to come back to the girl, as she was forced to suffer this torture with a newly-found amount of energy. As her descent through the portal finally began to come to a close, she let out one final call toward the Shinigami that damned her. "I'LL BE BACK TO DRAG YOU TO HELL WITH ME, GUUJIN!" And with that, the portal behind her had closed.
