CTP Training
Drago went down to the 22nd Floor of Las Noches. It was a long flight of stairs, but the small exercise would be a good warm up. This was a floor that he deemed could be good for training. There would be many Hollow here which would work as good training dummies. The other fact that he came down to this level was because he was bored and wanted to do something. He also wanted to get a bit stronger so that he wouldn't be called weak among the other Espada. He hated the fact the he was beaten by Fraccion, though Chisoku was the Segunda's Fraccion. This just made him want to get stronger more.
As he arrived on the floor he felt all the levels of the Hollow and how they all varied. He gave a simple thought, This will be fun. They still had not even looked at him, which made him a bit more angry. "Most of you shall not live after today," he called out over all the roaring of the hollow. This forced the hollow to turn their attention toward him. He was the Espada that every hollow felt didn't deserve to be in the Espada. This would be their chance to get stronger if they could beat him and eat him. Drago knew that this would be a long fight.
Drago realized that his hand to hand combat would not work in this situation of so many enemies, so he would have to go to bladed combat. He drew his zanpakuto out and watched as the hollows began to rush him. The first few were Gillian, on the outside of the main battle as to not die immediately, but closet to escape and to Drago. In a single slash to their bodies, they were dead and being trampled on. However simple slashes would only work for so long, he would have to start actually moving if he didn't want to be overran.
Quickly he began spinning and slashing through more of them. The Vasto Lordes who were in the center of all the fighting now stood where they were, knowing that they would have a better chance after the lower hollow had weakened Drago. The Adjuchas were almost as smart and stood between the Vasto Lordes and the Gillian. However the stupid Gillian tried to attack and injure Drago, figuring they could get strong by beating him. This did not work though as Drago continued killing them one after another through single slashes through their bodies and masks.
Drago knew he couldn't last forever if this continued. He gathered Reiatsu in his fist as he continued slashing. Then he jumped into the air as the Gillian filled in the space he was just taking. Drago punched downward into the mass of Gillian and eight tiny Bala flew out into the crowd, downing eight Gillian instantly. As he landed, he slashed through two more Gillian while receiving multiple slashes on his back. He quickly spun around and slashed through the last few Gillian on that floor that hadn't backed off and began to stay away.
Once the Gillian were defeated the Adjuchas moved in and they moved quickly. Still the Vasto Lordes did not move and simply watched the battle continue. Drago took a breath or two and ran into the Adjuchas that were rushing toward him. Upon the collision, Drago slashed through the first two through their masks. However the Adjuchas were tougher than a Gillian and they began to jump over each other, trying to get Drago. Once again, Drago gathered reiatsu into his fist as he slashed through another two Adjuchas. Then he punched into the tower of Adjuchas that had just built up. The eight tiny bala taking out the center of the tower, causing it to fall.
Drago then stopped slashing for a moment and did a back flip over toward the staircase. "You just don't know when to stop do you," he stated as he stabbed a zanpakuto into the ground. He held out his palm and charged a red Cero. After a moment it fired out, enveloping a good amount of Adjuchas. A few Adjuchas were killed, but others only received burns, being a bit stronger than the others. Luckily, most of his slashing had killed most of them before and the cero had killed a few more on top of that. This allowed only a few to be left. After the cero had ended a few Adjuchas stopped attacking and fell back like the Gillian.
Drago looked at the few remaining Adjuchas and took his other zanpakuto out of the ground. He rushed at the Adjuchas and did what he had been doing, slashing through them. After a few minutes of killing the Adjuchas that thought of facing him, he stopped and faced the Vasto Lordes. By this time, Drago was a bit worn out from all the mindless killing and now he had to deal with the more troublesome Hollow. He knew that none of these hollow would run, though there was significantly less of them. There was a good reason as to why though, they were much stronger than the Gillian and Adjuchas.
Then one of the Vasto Lordes began to walk toward Drago. They had obviously talked among each other and decided that they would fight him one on one in order of their strength. The Vasto Lorde looked like a bull, but it walked on its hind legs. Its hollow hole was on its shoulder. It also had brown fur around its entire body while its hands were hooves. This would be definitely troublesome and would require timing and precision. After a few moments, the Vasto Lorde got on all fours and charged Drago, being only feet from him.
Drago stepped to the side as the bull passed by him. However as he passed by him, the bull turned its head and slashed across Drago's stomach. Then it stopped and turned toward Drago again before rushing at him. Drago jumped over the bull, but as he did the bull went onto its hind legs and attempted to stab Drago in the stomach. However Drago stabbed downward into the Bull's mask to keep the bull lower than him, while also stabbing into the bull's head. His zanpakuto slid out as he landed behind the now dead Vasto Lorde. Though before he could turn and face the other few Vasto Lordes, one hit him from behind and he flew into the wall.
Drago got off the ground and faced the next Vasto Lorde. It was a mid-sized dog like creature. It had six legs instead of the normal four for a dog and two tails instead the normal one. The hollow hole was on its butt on the left side. It had black like fur, but the fur was so short that it was like it was only skin. There was no claws, but the paws were large as well as the legs. The dog creature gave a bark and the force made Drago brace himself by putting a foot back.
However Drago didn't feel like dealing with these Vasto Lordes anymore so he thought of ending this one faster than the last. In a burst of sonido he appeared above the dog creature and slashed down onto its hind legs. As he did so, both tails of the dog creature smacked into him causing Drago to fall into the ground. The hind legs however were still removed and Drago flipped off the ground using his fists to make contact with the ground and propel himself around. After he landed he rushed at the dog creature who didn't even turn around. As he rushed, the two tails whipped at Drago, but Drago just slashed through them and jumped over the dog. The dog however jumped backward as he did so and knocked Drago up into the air.
Since Drago was still airborne, the dog creature launched at him. As it launched it began spinning, which would cause more damage if it hit. Drago wasn't very capable of anything at the moment as he was put off balance and thrown into the air. However he did use sonido to get back onto the ground as the dog creature was now in the air. Drago then jumped and stabbed into the dog creature's body. Because it was spinning it didn't know if it had hit Drago and so wouldn't have stopped going where it had. Also because it was spinning, the stabs would get shoved deeper and cause the dog creature to stop spinning.
Both Drago and the now dead Vasto Lorde landed on the ground. As they landed Drago removed his zanpakuto from the corpse and looked at the other two Vasto Lordes still watching. "Two down, two to go. You should have thought of a better plan," Drago stated. The two looked at each other and then rushed at Drago. It was possible that these two had actually been working together this whole time and were using all the other hollow as tools. Even their own comrades were used in such a way just to get a chance to win. Though this was the reason they were down there, Drago did not like it.
The first of the two Vasto Lordes was a fox like hollow with antlers like a deer. Truly a weird combo, but it was quick and deadly. There was 4 prongs on each antler. It also had a thick furry tail. It's hollow hole was through the center of its back. The top half of its body was orange while the lower half was black. It also have hooves and not paws, which were white and not black.
The second Vasto Lorde was much larger and it resembled an elephant. It had it's long trunk and two tusks. However the tusks had spikes all along it, making it deadlier than before. The other difference was that although it was tall, it didn't have as large of a stomach. In fact there was just a normal stomach like for an alligator. It's tail was it's normal small length. The elephant like Vasto Lorde was a gray color with white on it's stomach.
After they had started running, it was obvious who the faster one was. The deer fox creature attempted to ram it's antlers into Drago. However Drago jumped over the antlers and launched off the back of the deer fox. The force of the launch sent the deer fox into the floor, but did little damage. Drago went toward the slower elephant hollow. As he did so the hollow attempted to slam Drago down with its trunk. However Drago slashed through the trunk and impacted the face of the hollow. As he landed the deer fox had already made its way back toward him.
Drago did a back flip, dodging both the antlers and the tusks. The deer fox ended up running into the legs of the elephant, which caused the elephant to fall on top of the deer fox. Both hollow bellowed and got more angry. As soon as they untangles themselves the blood covered deer fox charged Drago again. Drago didn't jump of dodge this time, he simply blocked and stopped the deer fox in its place with his zanpakuto. Then Drago did a back flip on the spot, kicking the deer fox in the jaw and knocking it unconscious. Since it was unconscious Drago decapitated it with a single slash across its neck.
Drago looked at the elephant as it started charging. It was obviously mad at Drago for killing it's partner. In a flash of sonido, Drago had disappeared and appeared on top of the elephant. The moment the elephant felt him on top of him, it tried to shake Drago off. However Drago stabbed it with both of his zanpakuto and held on. As the elephant continued to shake, Drago made two long slices, one for each zanpakuto. As the blood rolled down the sides of the elephant, it started to stop trying to get him off.
Drago removed his zanpakuto and walked up to its head. The damage to it's legs from the deer fox and the lose of blood from the two slices caused the elephant to collapse. As it rolled to the side, Drago stepped off of the corpse. There was plenty of bodies to eat, probably only enough to restore his used reiatsu. He started with the last kill and ate the elephant's body then moved onto the deer fox's. Soon he ate the dog and the bull before moving onto the Adjuchas and Gillian. By the time he was done, he was full and his reiatsu restored.
He sheathed both of his zanpakuto and whiped the blood from his mouth. It was a long fight, taking roughly an half an hour to fully complete. Drago then began walking up the stairs and left a bloody number 7 under the sign for floor 22. The climb took a while but when he made it to the Espada's room level, he headed to his room. Once making his way to the room with the number seven as a Dragon he entered it. He removed his bloody robe which he would get cleaned later and set it on the trunk in front of his bed. Then he laid out on his bed and passed out.
