Confused Alliances

[Miyu Feng]

Miyu had her sight focus on the captain trusting that Alacrán was handling the Hellion, she heard the noise and floor cracking below and could only wonder what just happened, but taking her eyes of Ludwig would certainly be a huge mistake and as she was contemplating her shockwave about tor each the captain she saw Alacrán also moving towards it and that gave her an idea on what her next move would be considering Ludwig would have to avoid the Shockwave or Alacrán.

She would stand up on her airground platform and raise her right arm to be parallel to the ground and soon she began fluxing her reiatsu through her limbs and back, the ammount of energy gathering on her body began to escape in the form of cackling lightning going from the center of her back to the rest of her limbs, this was a technique she spend a lot of time learning and perfecting and if she manages to connect a hit with it will tip the balance in their favor, if Ludwig was going all out she might as well be to.

Unfortunately as soon as she was ready to move she saw Alacrán push to the ground and her shockwave destroyed by one even more powerful, withouth thinking twice the girl would jump from her air ground platform down to the ground but even then the floor below was also crush by the blast and to make matters worse the cloud release twelve lightning bolts, four aimed at everyone in whatever was left of that room and if they connected it'll probably scream problems but that's the thing, they have to connect.

The thing about Shunko is that it suspends her stamina making sure she can act at her fullest as long as the technique remains active which meant she could move at her full speed to try and outrun the lightnings and catch up to Ludwig, Miyu would jump as far as she could and create another air ground platform her whole focus was to reach the captain at all cost, by this point the current of fire also was coming down there was very little she could do to avoid it, mostly because she already commited to her plan and at the very least Shunko would help her fight through the pain until the technique lasts.

Even if Ludwig is able to track them he would need an incredible reaction time to react at the speed Miyu was going to move, from her air platform she would perform Shunpo to move at 7500 speed and appear face to face with the Captain as the speech bubble was forming, she had no idea what was that but she wasn't going to wait and find out throwing a punch towards Ludwig with all her strength, even if he dodges the fist the subsequent shockwave blast of electricity of the techinique should ravage the captain, and even if it doesn't do nearly as much damage as she expects thanks to the cloaks and fire creature around the him she hopes that would blast him to the wall and then the ground below, and if nothing happens at least she got this far and as long as she can hold her technique she can be as reckless as she wants.

{Advanced Air Ground}
Technique Name: Advanced Air Ground

Class: 7

Technique Type: Spiritual Technique

Technique Description and Effects:

This is a technique designed especially for breakdancing and parkour, utilizing a more advanced version of air ground. While in a terrain where air ground exists, the user can create more complex surfaces like air walls, air ceilings, air ledges and even an air push. This allows the user to perform handstands and windmills on air as if it were normal ground or even stand upside-down on air as if gravity were reversed. The air push makes the air ground very elastic so that the user can jump higher. It allows for slight movement even when restrained by a Bakudō.

For a cost of twenty-five Reiatsu, the user will be able to momentarily cast an "air ground" on areas such as in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, allowing the user to "double jump" or cast Shunpo in mid-air. If this technique is mastered, the user will be able to create air grounds that last for as long as a single post. This can be used in creative ways to improve acrobatics and visual impressiveness.

Drawback: No drawback.

{Shunpo}Technique Name: Shunpo (Flash Steps)

Class: 7

Technique Type: Kidō

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The focal point that determines the basis of this technique is speed. As speed is the main point of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from Point A to Point B in the least amount of steps. Training and skill are what determines how fast a user of Shunpo can move. Those of little skill in the technique or those who haven't used it for an extended amount of time would obviously be out of practice, causing those individuals to be considerably slower. This requires the use of more steps to move the same distance and become tired more easily in a shorter amount of time. A single step magnifies speed for that step by ten times. Shunpo uses fifty Reiatsu per step. This one is automatically learned in the academy. All Shinigami know this when created. This technique does not take up a technique slot.

How to use technique:

Focus of Reishi around the feet area and launch off into a single blurring step. It is not unlike teleportation in appearance, but it is simply extremely fast movement. It is often used to gain an edge in a single moment of combat or to dodge incoming attacks.

{Shunko}Technique Name: Shunkō

Class: 1

Technique Type: Other

Usable By: Shinigami

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

The legendary technique passed down for the last three generations in the Omnitsukidō, Shunko, is a combat ability which combines the swiftness of Hakuda with the might of Kidō. It was originally created by a previous Shihōin Head.

Upon activation, Shunkō manifests as crackling white energy around the user. The ferocity and loud sound give it the appearance of lightning. Its shape forms from the dead center of the user's back, causing any garments that cover the back to be destroyed in that area. Most shoulder covering is also destroyed during activation.

While Shunkō is active, the user's physical Strength and both Spiritual Stats merge to form their offensive power, and stamina drain is suspended. All physical blows from the body result in a crackling blast of energy equal to this offensive power of Strength + Reiatsu Strength + Spiritual Pressure. Anyone with inferior offensive power will find their body ravaged by the attacks.

How to use technique:

Flux Reiatsu and activate this technique, but only after deactivating Release. This lasts for 10 posts and can be used twice in a thread. This technique puts a huge strain on the body and requires an extraordinary physical ability to use. Speed must be at least 700 at the time of activating Shunkō, and the user must possess at least a 4 in one combat method as well as a 3 in Hakuda OR Hohō. Shunkō cannot be learned by Weapon Masters, Kenpachi, Physical Prodigy, Genius, Soul Specialist, or Fighter.

Must be Rank 4 or Omnitsukidō to learn.

Technique Drawbacks:

Though this technique is powerful, its Reiatsu cost is enormous and the stamina drain is merely suspended, not removed. All stamina drain that happens during Shunkō will be taken once the technique ends. The user of this technique cannot be released when activating it, and Release cannot be active during Shunkō.

[Kitai Yoru]

The earth around him shook with the sounds of distant explosions, flakes of dirt falling down every half a second or so. It was amazing, the amount of destruction four individuals of their strength could cause. Kitai sat at the bottom of a very long hole, missing his arms and legs because of some very well placed shots from the hollow. He would have to wait down here until they regrew. They were halfway done, lava flowing from the stumps that had once been his limbs, forming crude approximations of what he once had. They had to solidify.

But that would mean he would have to stay down here for longer than he was willing to wait. He joined this fight to not let Ludwig have to fight two people at once, and he was going against that by sitting down here like a cowardly bug. That was just so... boring. If there was one thing he hated, it was boring. "Hehehehehe. Oh, I can't believe I finally get to use it." He said to himself, using his Soul Dominance to wiggle something out of his jacket pocket.

It tugged against his pocket, falling to his lap. It was a brown card, with the picture of a young man with a bag on a stick, looking towards the sky as he was about to walk face first off a cliff. It was something he had been inspired to make thanks to the suggestion of another. They had wanted the card of death, but this one... This one called to him. His smile grew more intense as it perked up, rolling up his chest by cartwheeling, letting him grab the card in-between his lips. "I play..." He savored the words for just a moment, before yelling out; "THE FOOL!"

His entire world was engulfed by a bright light, and ever so briefly, he could see a vision of the past. It was that of a red-headed woman in an all white uniform, shooting an arrow at him. The projectile was half a moment away from exploding feet away from his face. And then it was gone, replaced by the dirt hole he had made for himself. Kitai's eye was fixed... His body felt like it was real again. He felt his face, his body, it all felt real again. Kitai cried tears of joy. He was free of Hell.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He roared out with laughter, even as the technique that had been holding open the hole in the ground was broken. His left hand wrapped around a necklace that hadn't been there prior to the transformation. It was a Quincy's cross, one with four sides like a traditional cross. "Oh how I missed you! Let's show this world what you can do!" The earth engulfed, burying him alive. Then the ground exploded upward, in a colossal shockwave. His cross was no longer around his neck, and instead, a large green cannon was fused to his left arm.

"KITAI YORU IS ALIVE ONCE MORE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Saika was back to being a Fullbringer, and he had skipped level one to jump to Level two. His strength restored to him, he had leapt out of the ground with his Berserker's strength. And now he was aiming up at the two opponents he and Ludwig were fighting. The cannon barked three times, launching three balls of cheese towards the sky. The three fused together as the ascended towards the sky, combining their strength. The colossal glob of boiling cheese flew towards Miyu at a speed of 650, but it held a staggering 2,150 strength. It was guided as well, meaning it could curve towards her if she just tried to sidestep it.

Main Fullbring Level 1 Property: [flying cheese: His fullbring manifestes from his low-level Quincy Cross he received after his adopted father's death, transforming into a forest green bazooka. It fuses itself to his left arm in such a way, that it completely coats his forearm, leaving only his hand exposed. The handle moves to where the hand would be. The rounds it fires hit with half Kitai's strength, and flies with 650 speed. The rounds it fires splatter, causing a shockwave, coating everything around it in cheese, if uncontrolled. Each round is about the size of a large basketball, but made of boiling hot cheese. He is only able to fire one shot per post. From this point, his abilitie start to get fun.

Once the area in covered, he can control the mess, and have it attack whatever he wants, or can just have it float around, waiting for orders. This ability costs 100 to activate. He is able to control any cheese shot that he has fired over the course of a fight, and can maintain control over the cheese for the duration of his fullbring. He has 10 shots in total that are meant to last for the duration of his fullbring. He cannot reload the cannon until he repays the release cost. Using this ability, he can also make himself immune to the burning effects that his cheese gives off, even while touching it.

He is also able to have the cheese grab things. It can pick up enemies or objects like this. This has strength equal to his strength. An enemy can break out of its hold if they have more strength then the cheese. As long as the cheese touches said person or object, the cheese will continuously burn into them. If more than one cheese bullet is one a target, the strength needed to break out is increased. For every bullet fused, the strength the cheese has in increased by 200. This means that the more cheese there is, the more strength it has. The cheese can also be manipulated into various shapes, limited to only Kitai's imagination.

The downside to this ability is that, so long as any version of his main Fullbring is active, Kitai is unable to use any step tech, including the basic movement technique.

Main Fullbring Level 2 Properties: [The same thing as level 1, but he can manipulate his cheese without cost. The cheese also has 3/4ths Kitai's strength, and he can fire three shots in one post. The number of total shots he has is tripled, but the fusion of cheese is 400 per additional cheese blast. He can fire different cheeses, in different ways. Each ability takes one round of the three he can fire. There is no shot limit he can fire per release.

Pont l'grenade: The first new shot is an exploding shrapnel round. The name of the cheese cheese fired is called Pont l’Eveque. This is arguably the most foul smelling cheese in the world, but very tasty. As said, when this hits, it shatters. These can only be melted by fire with RS greater than the strength of the cheese.

Each piece of the fragmented cheese retains the same wretched smell it has while it's whole, spreading the stink all over, detracting anyone in the area with higher end senses. He also can't control these fragments like he can the liquid cheese. The actual shot hits with a strength of 1200, while the fragments match it in power. The speed of both the shot, and the fragments from the explosion is 700. Firing this shot counts as one of the three shots he has per post. He has 4 rounds of this per release.

Burger bomb: This final ability is his crowning achievement for his fullbring. His piece de resistance. It lets him create the mother of all messes. By overloading his fullbring's canon, he can fire a massive amount of cheese. This thing shapes itself into a massive yellow cheese burger. The burger has 2 patties, 3 slices of cheese, and the buns. The whole thing is 5 feet tall, and 10 feet wide. When this sucker hits, the result is an enormous explosion! The burger, being made of liquid cheese, bursts the moment it hits something solid enough. If it were to his a person/creature, it would likely drag them with it, as it zooms toward the largest building, or ground.

Once this beauty finally pops, the resulting explosion covers nearly everything in a boiling hot mess of cheese that will burn all that touches it, aside from himself. He can control this with his other abilities. The burger costs 600 Reiatsu to use, and moves at 1600 movement speed. It hits with 2000 strength, but that can be increased in power if fused with other cheese bullets in mid flight, like like a regular. The blast radius is 100 feet all around, but the impending shock waves travel much further. The explosion also sends cheese up, causing it to rain for a post after detonation. This explosion gives him 15 cheese shots to manipulate. The cost is 600 Reiatsu. The result of using this is extremely high for him. His physical stats are both reduced by 50%, for three posts, and the stamina drain is the equivalent of three step techs in a single post. Can only be used once per thread, or once every twenty-four hours in adventures.

{Willpower}Technique Name: Physical Manifestation: Willpower

Class: 3

Technique Type: Other

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:
Willpower is a technique that is available to most who dwell within the human world, and has a variety of effects that make it a versatile and useful technique. This technique is one that manifests the willpower of the physical body. It essentially causes spirit and physical body to "become one" and merge their powers. There are two uses of it. The first is a non battle use, and is the main use. The main use is simply to know the technique, which slows the aging process of the body and allows the possessor to live easily as long as a Shinigami or Arrancar. This is a will-based technique, however, and thus, if will vanishes, so does its power to stop the aging, which quickly catches up. Mod Souls and Bounts have a minor version of this part at all times, which allows them to age slowly at all times; humans and Quincy learn this version at Class 1.

Willpower has three stages that are associated with it, as listed below:

[Stage One: Cog]: By giving up 100 Reiatsu, the user pumps an explosive amount of intimidating power out. Anyone of inferior class will immediately be intimidated. This does not mean they won't fight. Those who are weak enough in comparison will feel a huge, exaggerated surge of power that will probably make them surrender. This can also be used on Hollows to actually scare them away instead of having to kill them. This does NOT work on animals! It only works on "intelligent beings." This means unless it has a similar to human intelligence, this wont' work on an animal.

[Stage Two: Pulley]: This causes physical output to increase based on draining spiritual energy. It costs 400 reiatsu. When activated, it increases physical stats by 50%. However, it causes the skin to begin to blister from pumped out Reiatsu. Essentially, skin begins to burn. It's a quick burn. Within 5 posts, burning will start to become quite serious. On top of that, statistic gain is lost by the post, starting after the second post of this being active. After that time, 10% of the gain is lost every post. It can only be restored by sacrificing 150 Reiatsu per 10%.

[Stage Three: Gate]: This has no initial cost. Reiatsu strength and Spiritual pressure (but NOT Reiatsu amount) both double. From there, reiatsu output goes up, meaning that costs are also doubled for everything. On top of that, 100 reiatsu is lost per post until this is deactivated.

{Bringer Flash}Technique Name: Bringer Flash

Class: 4

Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): Human Technique

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Humans only

Technique Element: Movement

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): This technique was created in order to counter similar techniques, such as Shunpo Karin and Sonido Garra. My using the same concept as Bringer Light and focusing it on a single limb, one can move that single limb at 5x normal speed, for 50 reiatsu. Unlike the other variations, and just like the original version, Bringer Flash can continually gain speed upon repetitive use. The second use would bring the speed to 7x, at 100 reiatsu. The third use would bring the speed to 9x at 200 reiatsu. After this, each use brings the speed up by 1x as well as doubling the cost each time its speed is increased.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): By manipulating the souls in ones muscle they are able to force it to achieve a higher level of speed than before. This often leaves the users arm emitting green reiatsu like steam.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) The initial cost for this technique is 50, but for each use causes the price to double like the original Bringer Light. Secondly, if constantly used in the same limb the person will begin to experience muscle tearing. If used three times by the same limb the user will feel great pain in that limb as the muscles tear. If used two more times in the same limb the user will loose use in that arm for the remainder of the thread unless healed.

{Energy Generate}Technique Name: Energy Generate

Class: 2

Technique Type: Other

Technique Element: Variable

Technique Description and Effects:
This is probably the hardest technique to use. It involves a physical body having to generate and output Reiatsu directly from the physical form. It costs an insane amount of stamina, and it's also very taxing. This technique is the only one that does not have a "default" version. All races except for mod souls can create extended "Reiatsu output" abilities, as long as they generate Reiatsu, and fire it off in some way. This is the requirement of these abilities. This technique can only be used by those who are Class 2 or above. It is the ultimate direct counter to Kido.

How to use technique: Generate Reiatsu from the physical form, and shape it in some way.

Drawback: Output techniques used in conjunction with this ability have a special condition. If anyone that is NOT a Level 3 Rank tries to use these techniques, it's a doubled cost from normal. That's how extremely taxing it is to use.

{Dokumu}Technique Name: Dokumu

Class: [4]

Technique Type: Energy Generate Technique

Usable By: Human World Dwellers

Technique Element: Poison

Technique Description and Effects: This technique is simplistic in its function and performance. Activation of this technique causes the user to breath out a cloud of an unidentified poison. Inhaling the cloud will cause the victim to experience an unimaginable amount of pain, coughing of blood. And finally after three times of being exposed to the cloud, death. The cloud spreads outward, thus making it far more useful in closed quarters but not so much in the open. The cloud only lasts for two posts after activation. Initially after being exhaled the cloud spreads out to the size of a small car. On the second post before it vanishes, the cloud would have expanded to at least twice that size before it vanishes. Upon the first post of being exhaled, the cloud comes out the the average size of a small car (think a Volkswagen beetle) and on the second post before dissipating it increases in size by 50%.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): Inhale, activate the technique, then exhale.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) First dawback is the cost. Secondly, while the user is immune to the poison while they breath it out if they inhale the cloud they are also victims to the poison. However, people with even a 2 in Poison Resistance is immune to this technique. Secondly, this technique is half effective against people with a higher class, meaning it requires twice as many hits in order to perform a fatal attack. Enemies with a 1 in Poison Resistance require at least two doses for the poison to take effect.

{Nisshoku}Technique Name: Nisshoku

Class: 2

Technique Type: Energy Generate

Usable By: Human World Dwellers

Technique Element: Light

Technique Description and Effects: This is a technique designed for those that fight in the darkness. This technique creates a sphere of darkness that floats in the air. The gravity around the sphere is different as it does not suck in anything but light. This techniques erases all light within seventy five meters, casting all who are within that range into perfect and perpetual darkness instantly. No form of light can exist within the space and even hiding behind structures will not defend those. This technique does not do harm to anyone, it merely makes them incapable of seeing due to the complete lack of light. The technique lasts for three posts (not counting the creation post) and upon ended releases the light again as though someone turned on your vision.

How to use technique: Focusing reiatsu into your hand as well as visualizing a heavy circle. Then toss the sphere into the air.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) Besides making both the user and victim incapable of seeing for a few posts? Reiatsu cost is a thing. Also, the orb that is the center of the technique is capable of being destroyed by a attack with substantial (50%) more reiatsu strength than the caster. The area of effect can be escaped so long as the victims escape the seventy five meter range.

[Alacrán]

Alacrán laid on the floor in shock as he had just been sent through the floor of the room they had been in. His armor was mostly covered in cracks due to the sheer force of the attack he'd just took and it seemed their own attacks didn't even do anything, just simply being swatted away like flies on a wall. So he just laid there for a split second as the air returned to his lungs. He was vaguely aware of the lightning bolts coming towards him as he slowly pushed himself back up but with the speeds they were traveling at, he knew he was nowhere near quick enough to try and dodge or counter them and as he was struck by them, his body seizing up in place, he watched as the gigai and all it's items were also destroyed. Well so much for hoping to get a chance to hop back into that.

As he stood there, his body being assaulted by not only the lightning but also flames which he hadn't expected he managed to stay on his feet as his armored carapace became charred and shattered in multiple places, he knew how severely outmatched he was and how foolish it was to think he could try his hand here. This was just one enemy but of course it was also a captain as well and while he may have gotten a good score on that hellion that had shown up he was now very aware that he wouldn't be able to touch that damn captain while he had his toons or whatever the hell it was that had deflected his blows. And now as he glanced up, he knew he was fucked once more as he heard the Shinigami's words and watched as five strange symbols appeared in the air.

As soon as Alacrán saw this he held up his blades and tail in front of his hollow hole, the ends pointed at each other and began to charge two red orbs at the end of each blade as well as forming one at his Hollow hole, mouth, and the ends of his mandibles before he had them all merge together into one massive orb, it's total power equal to an impressive 2,800 RS. He releases it up towards the Shinigami as the word bubbles sail towards him, it's speed also multiplied thanks to their combination, with the Cero now traveling up towards Ludwig at 1,400 Speed. Unfortunately Alacrán wouldn't get to see if the attack connected or not as launching that attack drained nearly all of his reiatsu and he finds himself collapsing onto the ground as the word bombs land.

One makes impact near him, sending him flying back only to find himself being engulfed in the explosion of another as it went off and he felt the floor crumbling beneath him. Seems this place isn't as important with how carelessly that captain was deciding to destroy it and it was this thought that caused a realization to dawn on Alacrán as he lost consciousness in the fury of explosions. Were it not for their rules, restrictions, and care for the balance of the worlds these captains would have wiped us all out so long ago. And with that last unsettling thought, the hollow loses himself in the darkness that swallows him.

{Reiatsu Pool - 230/6000}-3,920 x14 Cero Consolidar

SPOILER: Click to show

{Cero Consolidar}Class: 4
Technique Type: Hollow Technique
Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: This technique is an expansion of the Cero Durmiente technique, and requires mastery of the former. Using the same concept as the Cero Durmiente, the user places Cero at various points throughout the battlefield. These Cero have a different Reiatsu frequency, however, and as a result have special properties. If one Cero Consolidar contacts another, they merge and combine their strength; as each Cero Consolidar is equal to the strength of a standard Cero, they can quickly increase in strength by merging. The most effective use of this is to combine several groups to form multiple larger Cero that can attack from several directions; as they multiply in power, and their base power is equivalent to the user’s Reiatsu Strength, they can overcome just about any defense with enough merged together. Speed increases for each combination as well, each base Cero Consolidar possessing a Speed Stat of 100 and adding up as more combine. Unlike the prerequisite technique, this cannot be used with Bala. Costs 280 per Cero Consolidar.

How to use technique: Similar to the Cero Durmiente technique, the user condenses their Reiatsu into orbs by clenching their fist and placing a Cero Consolidar into the air. These can be guided freely, but can only be shot in one direction, so are often either aimed to consolidate and grow stronger or else to be fired at the opponent.

Drawback: Each individual orb can be destroyed with a technique of superior class, provided that the attacker has superior Reiatsu Strength. Merged orbs combine their Reiatsu Strength, making them more difficult to destroy as they merge, but still possible by a superior technique with greater Reiatsu Strength. Only ten Cero Consolidar can be placed upon learning this technique; upon mastery, fifteen can be placed. Requires Cero Durmiente to be learned and mastered to learn this technique. No more than five Cero Consolidar can be placed in a single post.

[Ludwig Verrlicht]

Things were going well so far in Ludwigs's mind. With Kitai's mention of letting loose and Ludwig deciding to follow him up on that he had to admit. He was having fun. It was fun to just be exceptionally extra over everything around him. To just cause wanton destruction around. Hell, even his cartoons looked like they were fond of what was going on. Better yet, everything was all going according to plan given he'd swatted an otherwise incapacitated Alacran. And even Kitai seemed like he was doing something, if the various floors beneath them being broken said anything. And fun fact, his Sazanami reporting in that an orb, previously three, was flying up his way made Ludwig all the more curious.



However, that is where the list of things going well ended. There was their other opponent who Ludwig admitted was starting to aggravate him. Somehow, throughout his barrage she'd managed to avoid or otherwise minimize the damage he'd sent out. And she was still making her way around the battlefield. The worst yet was that she had done something to her body. From the way the ripples came back it was like they were imbued with electricity from how they buzzed and moved erratically. Ludwig had a good guess as to what she'd done. He'd never seen it before but if he was right, she'd used Shunko. The "legendary" martial/kido fusion ability. There was no doubt that this was an issue. Without the flames even having reached the ground he guessed they'd be inefficient against her.



And to no one's surprise when she made a platform from her own reiatsu Ludwig knew he had to act fast. Faster than before. He needed to put his mind into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE. And thankfully, that came just as he needed it. Like a switch that was flipped he found his thoughts, which were already noticeably fast and process stimuli become leagues more efficient. He smiled widely and mentally spoke his next two incantations while she shunpo'd up and attempted to punch him. Bakudo #81: Danku x2 This was while he was speaking his sentence for the two below him. With eyes wide and grin spread dangerously to the sides of his face the barriers appeared.



Clear and see through as always but now in half sphere's, one layered over the other. Sadly, the first one shattered outright due to her fist and shockwave combined. But the other was unharmed and the symbols that were produced, found themselves still falling with the gust produced by his thundercloud enabling them to miss the barrier entirely. Then again, he spoke the phrase again mentally. Bakudo #81: Danku x2 Another half sphere appeared behind Ludwig while the forward most Danku was reinforced. Ludwig was going to gamble for a moment. She'd either try to destroy his two Danku before her or. . . she'd go after the damaged Danku behind him. Which speaking of damage the impressive cero Alacran made as a final shot in the dark had made its way to him.



Still much like Miyu's punch the barrier endured and though there were several cracks throughout it. But that was fine, he didn't have time to waste on Miyu and Alacran's cero. With a quick mental command his flame and thunder cloud expanded and consumed the inside of the sphere hiding Ludwig from view. Meanwhile Ludwig within made a simple marble and held it in his hand. From there the task was simple. If Miyu wanted an output match, then he'd give her one. And with a quick mental chant he imbued the marble with a kido but not just any kido. Hado #91 Senju Koten Taiho. He then let the marble drop from his hand with the imbued order to activate upon coming in contact with object. Meanwhile Ludwig did the only thing he could to avoid his own point-blank attack.



He threw out his hand and opened a door, not unlike the senkaimon but smaller. Personal. Before the orb had even hit the thundercloud, he was already walking through the Dangai with the door closed behind him. Should Miyu have ran around to the backside and destroyed the weakened Danku or even attempted to destroy the double layered Danku she'd still have to contend with the very physically present living flame and thundercloud. She'd never see Ludwig leave nor that she was near ground zero for the explosion to be. Speaking of said explosion when the marble touched the thundercloud it glowed brightly. More and more. So bright that it would actually show through the thundercloud and fire, and it was bright pink.



After that? There wasn't another sign of the explosion. Instead, the clouds, fire, and Danku were all consumed in under a second. Though the Danku did try to hold on but ultimately failed. After that the room, the floors until the ground, and likely the remainder of the arena space, would be consumed in Ludwigs reiatsu blast. Bright pink and with an intensity akin to that of a nuclear bomb. Now with the sound effects, shockwaves, and even the smoke cloud all included! So big was the explosion that even Kitai, at the ground level was in danger of being quite literally vaporized. Still, it was a sacrifice that Ludwig had been willing to make. Namely to see if Miyu's shunko could save her from arguably the strongest kido he had.



Meanwhile Ludwig, who was in the dangai was panting for a moment. Four uses of Danku on top of Senju Koten Taiho, in addition to using Mutsuhoyo and creating a vessel AND THEN escaping? That was tiring even on Ludwigs new and improved reiatsu reserves. He went so far as to sit on the ground for a moment. Ripping off his mask and throwing it away only for it to fade. Meanwhile his robe, though still burnt was left on his person. It looked at him and he simply sighed. "Perhaps you're correct. That may have been overkill." He simply shrugged before getting up and walking towards the door that was only 20 feet away. "In my defense, how else was I supposed to deal with Shunko? It's not called "Legendary" for nothing. Besides if I bankai, she's going to be receiving healing as well. And we can't have that. Nononononononono. Speaking of that I need to prepare for a second."



With a quick sketch he made a simple black bird. Nothing crazy aside from the fact it was 5 feet tall and had a wingspan of 12 feet from tip to tip. He climbed onto its backside and motioned it forward to the door. Upon stepping out his bird opened its wings and began flying. Ludwig in the meantime simply let his Sazanami map out the surrounding area again. Though he wasn't certain what all was left to map. The building had seemingly collapsed upon itself, well whatever parts of it remained. The smoke was intense, and he almost wished he had his mask again but that could be dealt with later. Right now, he wanted to find Miyu and more importantly Kitai. Alacran had been out for the count, so he was certain Kitai had taken him out from the arena somehow. But the other two he needed to find. Namely to see if this fight was done with. Which if he were honest, he hoped so. The building in its entirety needed to be repaired and he'd need to talk to Kyomei about that.

{Techs used}
Technique Name: Dimension Door

Class: 4

Technique Type: Shinigami Technique

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Shinigami Only

Technique Element: N/A

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

In order to bring some life and individuality to his squad, Ludwig began looking over what his squad was most known in an effort to apply it to more areas. What better place to look at than the massive doorway they manipulate? With this in mind Ludwig took his knowledge of how the Senkaimon works to apply it to a more short use and combat efficient pathway. The first of these is what he calls Dimension Door.

This technique is the most simple of all the techniques of this series but also the most fundamental as the other techniques cannot begin to be learned without understanding the operation of the Senkaimon itself and what it is. It is a means of going from point A to point B, a pathway except between worlds. Dimension Door takes this idea but simplifies it by making it a shortcut to another zone in the same space, making it a sort of mini-senkaimon. The door produced however appears in the form of whatever the user pleases but lasts only a few seconds, maximum of 10 since its purpose is to be a quick entry point. On top of this the area that the door will appear at must be selected by the user prior to entering the space, this is done mentally. Upon initially learning the technique the Dimension Door can take the user a maximum of 100 feet in any direction by forming a small path in the Dangai. The exit door appears once the user is within 5 feet of their maximum distance and lasts until the user exits the door completely. Once the user becomes proficient in the use of Dimension Door they can travel an extra 50 feet totaling to 150 they can travel. Emphasis on CAN because they can also choose to open the door earlier with no extra cost. At the mastered level the user can then on top of the extended range and choice of where the door opens along the way can bring a companion or two maximum due to the Dangai being stable enough to support more than just the user.

How to use technique (How is it activated?):

Charge rieatsu into the hand intended to come in contact with the door then thrust your hand into the space in front of you. This is similar to how a zanpakuto must be stabbed into the space in front of the user to summon the original Senkaimon. Once the door appears, open and walk through.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) (Insert Below)

To start the technique costs more than a normal class 4 tech at 200 Rieatsu everytime the door is used and can only be used every other post. This technique counts against the number of steps one can use in a post. The second and arguably biggest flaw is the door has a durability, if someone is quick enough to harm the door as it appears or before it disappears the user if inside, entering, or exiting the Dangai will be thrust out with a force equal to the OS used to destroy the door, this applies to all who enter with the user. The doors Durability is equal to the users highest spiritual stat. Lastly the user must be taught this technique in a training thread by another that knows it.

Incantation and Effect: N/A

Made By: Ludwig Eisenhart Verrlicht



Technique Name: Hado #91: Senjū Kōten Taihō (Thousand-Hand Bright Heaven Culling-Sear)

Class: 2

Technique Type: Kido

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: An exceedingly powerful spell, this Kido creates ten points of glowing energy around the user before being fired at the target, homing in on it and curving about to impact the victim from numerous sides. Upon impact from the ten blasts, an enormous explosion of Reiatsu is released, beating and quivering as it devastates the entire region with its sheer force. This technique requires the incantation to cast, but in exchange, its power is equal to three times the user’s current Reiatsu Strength.

How to use technique: Speak the spell and point hand towards the target.

Incantation and Effect: “Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired” As the incantation is required for casting, there is no bonus.

Technique Name: Bakudō #81: Danku (Splitting Void)

Technique Class: 2 - 180 TTP

Technique Type: Kidō - Bakudō.

Usable By: Kidō-users.

Technique Element: N/A.

Technique Cost: 600 Reiatsu.

Description: Creates a clear, very high and wide barrier of reiatsu instantaneously in front of the user. Can be used to block reiatsu attacks, low level physical attacks, and any Kido from numbers 1-89, though this is also still dependent on the user's reiatsu strength.

How to Use: This can be cast with mental thought, with hand motions, or with naming it. This requires no special movements for casting.

Incantation: The strength of the technique goes up 40% from incantation. (I.E. Reiatsu strength valued at 100 is instead valued at 140 during incantation.) "Barrier of dust, shield of north, protector of Men! Arise from ashes and reveal our weakness. Dissolve into air and hide our sins! On altars of greed we call you. In graves of virtue we worship you. Bind, scatter, reduce to ash! Cripple, crush, dissolve!"

Drawbacks: Reiatsu cost.

Made By: Unknown.

Reserved?: No.
