Arc 2: Canon 1: Beginning Strawberry [Complete]

[Zieg Revolver]

"Kill them, quickly!" Zieg shouted, thrusting his zanpakuto's blade straight through the mask of a hollow that leapt at him, its claws readied to slash him into pieces. It let out an eerie cry as Zieg took his blade out and kicked the hollow away. Zieg pushed forward with dozens of unseated officers from the 11th division, engaging a group of hollows that seemingly had appeared out of nowhere moments ago. His vice captain robes were already stained with black hollow blood and he felt himself slightly tired from the assault. Him and his squad had been engaging the hollows for at least a dozen minutes after they had appeared, being one of the first squads alarmed of the invasion. Along with his, the 1st and 10th division were combating heavily with the hollows, doing their best to to. Zieg had heard shouts from what seemed to be shinigami from the 1st division speaking of their need to "Slay the Vizard." "A Vizard!?! Here of all places!?" Zieg exclaimed in his mind as he dug his blade into the best level of a imp-like hollow, then pulled it upward, slashing the hollow nearly in half. He swept his large nodachi blade forward, cleaving several hollows in half then he brought his blade upward, right as a couple dozen more 11th division shinigami forward.

"Go!" Zieg commanded, bringing his blade down and, with a battle shout, the dozens of 11th division shinigami surged forward, hacking and slashing with intense power and fury. With this, Zieg could finally see the battle and he stood still, mesmerized as Old Lightning and Zouma combating, seeing that the Vizard turned out to be the Vizard Leader himself that invaded. Zieg realized something was wrong. By this point, Old Lightning had activated Ryuujin Jakka's Bankai and was trying to overwhelm Zouma with it but Zouma's white flames were holding firm and eventually dissipated them. "I-i-impossible!" Zieg gasped, can't believing what he just witnessed, Zouma's bankai had actually beaten Old Lightnings! A surge of panic filled him as he sprinted forward, slashing and barreling through a line of hollows to try and reach Old Lightning but was eventually stopped by several who pressed against him, forcing him to defend all of them at once witht he flat of his blade. Zieg could now only watch in shock and horror as Zouma delivered the finishing blow, finishing off Old Lightning for good. "NO!" Zieg roared, his eyes flaring a crimson read as he let out a low growl deep within his throat and surged forward, slashing into the masks of the seven hollows in one fell swoop. With a surge of anger driving him, he leapt up, swiftly jumping from ontop of hollow to hollow as if they were stepping stones to pursue the Vizard leader, by which this time several other shinigami were facing him right at the exit. In one swift motion, he brought his left hand's index finger across the edge of the blade, cutting and drawing blood then reached in and grasped his C-Weapon capsule, bringing it out and smearing blood on it.

Immediately after his, Zieg had seen Zouma release his own C-weapon and seemed to have invoked its fusion abilities, having heard him say the command. Zieg saw that the others who were facing Zouma were in danger but Okusa was moving to intercept the attack. Seeing this, he took the opportunity and shunpo'd to appeared in mid-air, about a ten meters to his right and facing him at a downward angle. "Open! C-Weapon, Koudouhou! Lock and Load, Soshi Tanjuu! " Zieg growled lowly as he coming out of the shunpo, a large cannon instantaneously appearing directly infront of them with my back to them and firing blasts out a huge burst of red reiatsu 200 meters forward and had a radius of 100 meters (350 Reiatsu Strength). The blast sped right for Zouma's side, who had just taken a stance and was focused on Hara, Zanken and Okusa. At the same moment, Zieg's shikai had formed from his zanpakuto which had flashed white and turned into it, a pair of silver revolvers. They appeared instantly into his hands and he dashed back, both his revolvers flaring with crimson red and aqua blue reiatsu, ready to firing all the bullets at once.

Zouma, who hadn't actually attacked yet, was easily able to recognize that Zieg was coming, and also easily able to sense the attacks. "Another Vice Captain?" he muttered. "Weak..." That made Two Captains and Two Vice Captains. Normally, this actually wasn't a problem for Zouma. He could probably defeat all of them. However, he was indeed tired from his fight with Old Lightning. To keep up with all four of them at the same time, especially Okusa, who was the strongest, Zouma had to use some extra measures. He flicked his hand across his face, and the mask rematerialized. He'd already used it twice before, and so it was already taxed and drained slightly from that. Luckily, he'd only used it for a maximum of a few seconds. That was good enough to leave time for Zouma to take out these guys, without having to specifically worry about keeping himself to a clock made of seconds.

The mask, already on him, gave him the ability to easily move around the blast, dodging it. It also gave him the ability to dodge bullets, and so he whirled around the area in massive zig zag, avoiding everybody. Put simply, Zouma was too fast for anyone to keep up, he was a complete and utter blur. Wait, something was already wrong. What was wrong with the landscape? There was something totally different from a second before. There it was. Zouma's blade was missing. It was no longer pinned into the ground. A gigantic blast of dark red flames erupted out of nowhere, blowing across one of the squad barracks. The shockwaves flew everywhere, blasting aside Okusa, Zieg, Hara, and Zanken all at once, simply batting them everywhere. He could have attacked them, but apparently Zouma had seen numerous people in that barrack. There were! About sixty shinigami had been killed just by that one attack.

Zouma had gone for those guys, who would have approached and outnumbered him had he let them live. The entire squad 13 barrack was shattered by that attack. Zouma continued moving around, at last getting behind Zieg. He punched a dozen times into Zieg's back, disappearing immediately after that. He was fast. Much faster than Zieg. At Zieg's fastest, Zouma was still at least three times faster. It was useless for him in terms of defense. This brought Zouma to Okusa, to which he slammed an elbow into Okusa's face. From there, disappearing once more, an elbow to the back of Okusa's head. Yet another blurring. Zouma's leg sweeped Zanken, who he proceeded to shove his knee into. (Target was face) This at last brought him to Hara, who he punched straight in the face. Zouma's speed was so great that none of them could properly see or focus on him. He was just too much faster than they were. How could they negate his Vizard's Advantage?!

Zouma's Remaining Reiatsu: 600 Reiatsu

Shikai Post: 4/10

Hollowfication: 3/11

[Xaifer Regneis]

"Of cour-!!" Zanken was about to say as he was sweep kicked. Suddenly then, Zouma's knee came up to his face!! The guy was freaking fast!! Zanken knew the Vizards possessed immense power, but now he was experiencing it first hand!! Zanken was bashed and thrown backwards by the brutal assault. Zanken had a broken nose, and probably broke a few face bones from that strike. "Dah!! My does!" Zanken said through a broken nose and a bunch of blood. Zanken fought back the tears though and got back up, blood now freely streaming from his broken nose. If he tried to fix his nose right now, he would probably end up breaking it more. Basicly Zanken sucked at healing. "Dah... we somedow have to get rid od his speed... dow?!" Zanken muttered to himself. Well, there was always box him in. Though with that flame of his, Zanken didn't know how long his thing would last. Probably no more then a single second. Mabye less. He had to try though, right? "All right, dere we do! Hyouketsu Supaiku!!" Zanken shouted out, slamming the black blade down onto the ground, which created a circle of black ice around the tip of the blade. Instantly, tendrils of frost and ice raced out of the circle. They raced at Zouma, along the buildings and along the ground near him. It also formed a large circle of ice around Zanken, roughly seven feet in diameter.

Remaining Reitsu: 600/1500 (-300 Reitsu for Hyouketsu Supaiku)

SPOILER: Click to show

Second Technique: Hyouketsu Supaiku (Lit. Freezing Spikes): The second technique of Zanken's Zanpakuto. This technique draws the unimaginable power of ice through the darkness in the black blade. This technique can be used in two different ways. The first consisting of drawing a massive amount of ice into the black blade and slamming the tip down onto the ground. This causes the ground in front of it to quickly frost over and head twords the enemy, although Zanken can control where the frost goes. When the frost reaches the enemys, massive spikes of solid ice erupt from the frost and impale the enemy on it. If the enemys don't break free soon, the ice starts to slowly freeze them over, making it so you could shatter their arm or the thing impaled on the spike into a thousand pieces. Note: Zanken can choose not to impale people immediately or not at all, instead he could choose to simply gradually lower the air temperature, though it takes a while for this to actually takes place. The second way it can be used is to be able to make ten Senbon made of ice, also if he wishes so, Zanken can make more. The Senbon are MUCH faster then the frost, but they are also much weaker. The Senbon also have the same property as the frost, when they hit something, they immediately start to slowly freeze them over. Though the Senbon cant freeze someone as well as the spikes (they can only freeze the part of the body that they hit, i.e they hit an arm, but can only freeze that arm).

[Hara Lucious]

Hara watched as suddenly a huge wave of dark red flames came towards them all only to go straight past them and strike the barracks behind them, Zouma's sword was also gone, What was going on. Hara had never seen such a thing as this and was wondering how he was going to be able to possibly stop this man from destroying all of Seireitei. Then suddenly Zouma was gona in an instant, Hara saw as he attacked all the other Shinigami present that where fighting along side Hara to try to bring this man down. Then he came to Hara planting a punch right in his face, Hara would stumble back as he grabbed at his face in pain, His nose beginning to bleed a little bit as he looked up to find where Zouma was now. Once he found him he talked out in a very angry tone towards him. "How dare you..Just add salt to the wound that you have already made by destrying all those lives that would of done nothing to your plan, Why not focus on us and leave them out of it until we are dead and gone!" Hara was furious at what he had done and was already planning another attack when suddenly he saw Zanken attacking.

Zanken was using some kind of ice attack forming ice seven diamiters in a circle around Zouma, Hara knew that this would be the best time to attack, when he was distracted by another attack, it would be like a combo that was not planned. Hara quickly brought his guard foward with both of his swords as he once again Shinpoed High in the air, He hesitated for a moment waiting for Zouma to avoid Zankens attack, If Zouma would dodge it and still be in sight, Hara would then again Shunpo towards him flying down from high in the air as he would slice viciously down upon Zouma, Hoping that Zanken had provided distraction enough for this plan to work, Once his attack was complete he brought his swords sharply infront of him expecting some kind of counter attack no matter what, he was also prepared to dodge if he would need to.

Remaining Reiatsu: 150 (50 for if my second attack happens as well wich will be 100 if that is to happen)

[Zou ۞]

Zouma didn't dodge as Hara had predicted, for now with his hollowfied speed, he was beyond the need to dodge. With a quick flurry of blade movements, he carved up all of the ice, destroying it so completely that it became shards floating on an icy mist. The force of the slashes also blew it away, scattering it so thin and so far apart, that the icy attack became totally useless in the face of Zouma's slashing. As it was, the attack had been completely disbanded by Zouma's immense power. That was a Vizard. Strong. Since Zouma hadn't dodged, Hara's preparation was useless (so technically this attack didn't happen as you only staged it for if a dodge occurred). This meant that everyone was wide open for another attack. However, something appeared to be wrong. Zouma was getting impatient it seemed. He proved this by disappearing in a single blur once more, gone again. His speed simply couldn't be adjusted to.

Zouma's fist crackled against Okusa's face, slamming him against a wall. Before anyone could even register that, a snap kick to Zanken's face AND Hara's face sprawled both of them across the ground again. And at last, a double elbow to Zieg's face. Everyone was knocked out by a speed unlike anything they'd ever faced before. While yes, there had been opponents of similar speed in the past, they hadn't employed it to the fullest the way that Zouma did. It was inconceivable that they'd need to. Zouma however, appeared to have learned how to make the absolute most of it. He was much faster than what anyone else had imagined. But, why was he rushing things? Suddenly, a large, custom looking Senkaimon opened up. Zouma looked at it. One of his fellow Vizard friends was inside of the Senkaimon. If one knew the Vizards, they could recognize him fairly easily. Garyuu Hyajong! Zouma's mask shattered. He looked at Garyuu. (Description of Garyuu can be found in Important NPC's.)

"Keep them busy." he said. "I need to take my time in the Central 46 Prison Basement. They have a lot of dangerous guys that I need to sort through." With that, Zouma disappeared into the gate, which slammed closed behind him. At least his destination had been audible. The Senkaimon's reiatsu appeared to give off some kind of restoration. While inside of it, Zouma was going to recover from everything that he had been through. Garyuu took a keen look at everyone, keeping his hands pocketed. He pulled his left hand out of his pocket, holding up his index, middle, and ring fingers. "Three hits." Garyuu declared. "I'll kill all four of you with just three hits."

[Okusa Shogen]

Okusa's grin lit up his face while he began testing his muscles. Whirling around his weapon, he blasted shock waves around the air, none of them aimed for anyone or anything. He was getting pumped up, and really hyper. It wasn't often that opponents as strong as the Vizards showed up. Even though Zouma had gotten away after trashing them a bit, no real significant damage had been taken. After being hit, Okusa had simply gotten back up, ready to fight again. And now, he heard what Garyuu said about his attack.

"JUST THREE HITS?!" Okusa roared. "THAT'S NO FUN! YOU KNOW WHAT THOUGH, STICK TO YOUR THREE HEADS. I'LL BLOCK ALL OF THEM AND THEN HIT YOU A MILLION TIMES! HAHAHAHA! LET'S START WITH THE MONKEY WORK!"

Okusa jammed his blade into the ground, blasting up a large portion of rocks. He quickly ripped his blade out of the ground, using it to carve up the airborn earth and rocks. Then, he quickly maneuvered his left arm around in rapid punches across all of the rocks, sending them at insane speed towards Garyuu. They were like bullets. Okusa had actually cut them out into similar shape. Basically, rock bullets were flying at Garyuu, propelled by the power of Okusa's strength. Okusa was really strong and fast physically, so they would do a large amount of damage if they weren't avoided or stopped.

"YAHAHAHA! DODGE THAT, BUCKO! SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT! WAIT NO, I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA!" Okusa's roaring and screaming was starting to cause shockwaves in the air. He was trying to draw anyone else to help fight. He wanted to fight, but he wasn't stupid. Vizards were strong.

Reiatsu was flaring around Okusa while he started charging towards Garyuu. Each stomp brought up more rocks, which he elbowed viciously towards the Vizard. And with that, Okusa hurled his blade at Garyuu. It was like a missile, moving way faster than the rocks had. It curved over Garyuu's head, missing him. That was when Okusa got there, punching towards Garyuu's face. Silently, but with a huge amount of wind force and a tearing power, the blade was coming back in a boomerang, straight towards the back of Garyuu's head. Okusa was prepared to catch it, but he also had his punch moving. His right fist towards the face, his left one towards the stomach.

[Shinsei Tan'O]

OOC: Too lazy to change accounts. I'll post from this one.

IC:

Garyuu simply pulled out several capsules as Okusa moved to attack. There were three in total. He ripped his thumb across his teeth, drawing blood across all three capsules. Reiatsu flared with the first two to begin with. They opened up. "Ryo. Come out." Garyuu said. In an instant, a small jade dragon erupted out, screeching as reiatsu flowed out of its nose, and green flames danced all around it. Garyuu's second capsule suddenly opened up. "Special Capsule. Equip Type." he said. Instantly, silver armor materialized across the dragon. Equip Capsule? That was one that nobody knew about! It was a capsule that was unique so to say. Garyuu was the only one that had it, and no one else would have it unless one was dropped and analyzed. Did that make it the job of the shinigami to take Garyuu's capsules to be analyzed? If so, they'd better get to work. However, the third capsule then opened up. "C-Fusion. Capsules combine. Ryo Gauntlet." Garyuu said instantly.

The dragon vanished, and black gauntlet-type gloves (fingerless) materialized on his hands. At the same time, black hand cuffs with no chain link in between formed on Garyuu's wrists, one cuff per wrist. His wrists weren't binded due to lack of chain. His strength actually went up as a result of the attachment, a total of 200% increase. (Equivalent with 1600.) Garyuu swatted his hand aside, and a huge blast of energy blew aside all of the bullets, and a powerful wind slowed Okusa's attack so much, that he was able to silence it. The winds also took out the blade, dropping it to the ground due to counteracting its force. With Okusa stopped, Garyuu shoved his right fist into Okusa's gut. If this hit, it would blast apart the entire stomach due to strength, and hurl Okusa back with intense force, breaking several bones. The wind force would also stretch even beyond Okusa, and head straight for the next closest person, Zanken. What would happen?


Garyuu's Remaining Reiatsu: 2400 Reiatsu

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg watched as Zouma moved his hand to his face and summoned his mask in an instant, avoiding his C-weapon's blast with ease. Next thing he knew he, he heard an enormous sound of wood being splintered and shattered occur and was blasted back through the air from what appeared to be shockwaves. He let out a yell of surprise when he was blown back, naturally closing his eyes from the force of the shockwave. Suddenly, he was struck a dozen times in the back in a split second, yelling out a surprised yell of pain as he was sent soaring to the ground at an angle. He felt like he was a human pinball, being blasted one way then down another. He spiraled towards the ground and then was greeted by a double elbow to his face. Zieg didn't even had time to make a sound before he was knocked out from the onslaught of the attack, being knocked to the ground with a tremendous thud and a small crater had formed around him. Moments later, he woke up, a blaring pain on his face and he held it, groaning as he sat up. He lowered his hand after awhile and saw that Zouma was gone but it seemed another person had taken his place, fighting against Okusa currently.

"Tch, that does it!" Zieg shouted with rage, leaping to his feet as a roaring pillar of crimson red and aqua blue erupted from his body, swirling around him. "BAN-KAI!" He exclaimed, his revolvers suddenly flaring with his reiatsu till they couldn't be seen, becoming spheres of reiatsu as they lifted up into the air. The next second, the spheres shattered and revealed his revolvers to have become longer and slender, they even seemed lighter then before in which they were. The grip had turned pitch black and the hammer of the revolvers were already cocked back. They dropped down and Zieg caught them, shunpoing instantly. He appeared several feet away from Garyuu, positioned so he was facing him at an angle but so Okusa wasn't in his line of fire. As he appeared out of shunpo, his fingers moved blazing fast as he pulled the trigger dozens of times within only a couple of seconds, firing dozens of condensed reiatsu bullets directly at Garyuu, approaching him at an angle and threaten to pierce into him. Each of the bullets traveled at a stat speed of 400. By the time Zieg's bullets were gonna reach him, he was bringing his fist forward to nail Okusa right in the stomach.

Garyuu's physical strength was, at current, thirty two times that of an average human male. That was some strength. It allowed for even the punch, which sent shockwaves upon impact with Okusa, to also have a wind BEFORE the shockwaves from impact. The wind force that would be generated by hitting Okusa was what would attack other people, while the wind force from the punch flowed all around, so powerful that it simply knocked the bullets out of the air, dispersing them. Garyuu also sweeped his hand across the air (the free one), even more winds flowing out. Therefore, all things a given, his attack on Okusa was not something that would fail. Whether or not it would take Okusa out was up to the strongest Captain, and whether or not the ensuing shockwaves took out Zanken were up to Zanken as well. The wind force from Garyuu sweeping his hand across the air blasted Zieg, this time stronger than ever before.

The wind force was great enough that it might even crack or break some of Zieg's bones, blast his revolvers away, even send him crashing through a building, though there weren't any for him to hit, since Seireitei was in the opposing direction from where he was flying. There was only Zieg's body flying, there was only Okusa's body flying, there was only Zanken's body flying. Whoever was struck, this was the end of it. That was just one hit. The first punch, and it might even take out two of them at the same time. Whatever happened, Garyuu was beyond their strength in many ways. Garyuu was the one with great power, and Garyuu was the Vizard that they fought on today. However, they had to move past him. Zouma was heading for the Central 46 Chambers. He was heading down there, and he was heading for something else. Zouma needed to be stopped, and so naturally, they had to make it past Garyuu.

[Zou ۞]

OOC: It is ZANKEN'S POST.

[Xaifer Regneis]

"Ohh snap!" Zanken shouted out. What ever Garyuu was doing, it was blowing away Captain Okusa!! That ment it was insanely strong what ever it was. There were a few things it could be, like wind, reitsu, or something else that was invisible, but there was no time to try and guess at what it was. There was no time to dodge whatever it was, it was coming in to fast. "Chee, not much else of a choice!" Zanken said. Zanken quickly brought both of his arms out in front of his body in an x position, this was to reduce the amount of force that would crash into him, though how little it would reduce the blow Zanken did not know.

Then it hit, it was like... getting hit by three trains at once!! Zanken's arms were most surely broken at this point, and probably a rib or to and then some internal bleeding. Zanken would have shouted out in pain, if the winds would not have knocked the words right back down his throat. Zanken quickly glanced behind him and saw he was going to crash into the ground, or a building, from the force of the attack. If that happened, he would probably die from the force of the attack. Zanken painfuly streched his arm out at the ground that he was about to hit, shouted out a muffled, "FUREA-SHINTOU!!!" and a large orb of fire raced out and hit what ever Zanken was about to hit, be it a building or simply the ground. The orb impacted the desired place and softened the landing spot so Zanken would (probably) not die. Then again he might die from the wind even before he hit the ground. Zanken crashed into the softened area and a large cloud of dust was kicked up. What would happen now?

Remaining Reitsu: 450/1700 (-150 for Second Degree Furea-Shintou)

[Enma, Lord of Hades]

OOC: Too lazy to swap accounts.

IC:

The wind completely blew Zanken out of the fight, shattering three ribs, shattering his arms and dislocating his shoulders. Though he didn't die due to his last minute furea shinto, the impact with the wall broke his back and dislocated a leg. Zanken was basically a mess. Also, one of his busted bones stabbed into an organ or tissue or something, causing for some pretty big internal bleeding. That was just one hit. Beyond that, what could possibly be done?! Was this really the end of everything? Well, for Zanken it was the end of his being in this fight. One punch. That was all it was. One punch, and both Okusa and Zanken both could well be eliminated from this battle completely. Imagine three punches.

OOC: Also a short post.
