Arc 2: Canon 5: Kodayiseki [Complete]

[Xaifer Regneis]

Zanken gasped as Zieg bashed his head into his nose. That was bad, it stunned him for a second, as well as causing intense pain. The attack somewhat went through though, so it was worth it. Zanken gingerly touched his nose, before looking at Zieg and saying. "Heh, this is one of the special techniques of my Bankai, Seken no Nayami. It creates a world in which my opponent feels one hundred times the amount of pain of any given action. For example, if you stubed your toe or bit your tounge here, you would probably be incapacited from the pain." Zanken said, responding to Zieg, ignoring the peanut gallery. Zanken brought up his blades again. "I accept your apology, and also ask forgiveness for what I am about to do." Zanken said, before Shunpoing in front of Zieg. In stead of trying to slash him, Zanken swung the flat of the blade at him. This was a hard move to dodge, factoring in that Zieg had just been, and still was in, intense pain, that would slow his reaction time down. The blades were long as well as wide, narrowing the chance of a dodge again. Plus, Zanken was ready for what ever move Zieg would throw at him now. If he attacked from the front, he had his other blade ready. If he attacked from the back, Zanken had something ready for that to.

[Zieg Revolver]

SPOILER: Click to show

Zieg listened to Zanken's explanation of the bankai technique, still recovering from the effects."Pain amplification huh..? Now im glad that "he" enjoys pain." Zieg muttered to himself, not sharing who "he" was that Zieg spoke of. Very few knew of his chaotic side that he kept in check but he had the power to unleash it under the right circumstances, namely pain driven. Continuing to try and shake off the painful sensation he had received and closed his eyes, now tapping into the darker side of him."I was going to say the same thing." Zieg growled suddenly, almost inhuman like and his grin suddenly growing. At the same moment, Zieg's grip had tightened on his revolvers as his eyes jolted open, noticeably flashed and changed into a pure, blood-like, crimson red color. This revealed he had given into to his chaotic, blood lusting side, it instead of being weakened by pain actually embraced, enjoyed and was driven by it. When he opened his eyes, Zanken would be directly infront of him, aiming to nail Zieg with the flat of his blade. Zieg suddenly brought both his revolvers up as he got up into a crouching moment in a blink of a eye again, pain now in his favor and only a wound could possibly have immobilizing damage to him now or a severe physical attack.

He crossed his revolvers and smashed them upward against the incoming blade, aiming to block the blade in a trapping motion with his revolvers to block. He viciously twisted around in a jerking rotation to either off balance Zanken or force the blade out of his hand. In the same motion, he pulled the triggers back on his revolvers, changing the element of the left revolver to fire and the other to lightning. He swiftly tilted his right revolver, aiming at Zanken's other blade's handle and fired, trying to both knock it out of his hand with a powerful bolt of lightning. The lightning might even travel to his body due to the metal plating but this did not matter to Zieg. After the sudden motion and firing, Zieg began assaulting Zanken relentlessly with the barrel's of his revolvers, moving in a vast blur of movement of spinning and moving forward as he smashed his revolvers forward, aiming at random places at Zanken's front without even a pause in lightning fast movements.

Zanken knew something was coming, he could feel it. He had no idea what was coming, he just knew IT was coming. This caused Zanken, in the middle of bashing the flat of the blade, to twist his hand on the hilt. This accomplished two different things. One, the bladed edge of the sword was now facing Zieg, coming in at him with the weight and strength of the attack behind it. Two, something happened to both blades. The blade that was headed at Zieg suddenly erupted into pure white fire, which danced and raced across the length of the blade. The black blade suddenly created a large, jagged icy plate to form all along it, making it look like a macrabe iceicle. Zanken did not want to be caught off guard though, and so swung the black sword at Zieg as well. However, it was at a lower angle then the other blade, meaning it was headed straight at Zieg's legs. The black blade had its length somewhat increased due to the ice on it. If Zieg tried to block with his revolvers, they would probably break, even though they were stronger then normal revolvers, they could not stand up to the weight and strength of a buster sword. Especially now that both swords had their cutting power greatly enhanced due to the elements on them. What would Zieg do? What COULd Zieg do? Zanken's assault did not end there however, as he dashed forwards as well, giving the blades an extra boost to momentum, which in turn, increased the power of the blades slashes. As this ended, the black dome that was the Seken no Nayami shattered, its time had been spent. This would probably be the last blow to decide who won or not.

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg, seeing that Zanken had activated some kind of elemental abilities of his bankai and was now attacking with the sharp side of the blade, retracted his guard back instinctively, feeling that the blades might destroy his revolvers. Zieg, as he retracted his revolvers, aimed both his revolvers straight at Zanken,pulled the trigger. In a lightning fast movement, he moved his arms so they were at his side and during the motion, had fired dozens of times, firing a upside-down U shaped formation of lightning bolts, several going for both his arms and blades while the rest were aimed at his stomach and at the same time during the firing dashed back with a massive burst of speed, all in which was performed in a fluid motion. With being so close and Zieg have the superior reiatsu strength, the bolts of lightning would wound Zanken's arms, pierce through his platemail and stomach and could most likely even shatter both his blades but either way, the force of the lightning would blast the blades out of his hands..

Bankai:4/10

Well. this is it, the final hit. Zanken thought as the bolts flew at him. The first ones struck him in the stomach, and Zanken could immediately feel the pain from the shots. The drawback from Seken no Nayami made the pain even greater, nearly knocking him out. However he kept going, ignoring the pain and proceeding with his slash. Thats when the bolts hit the blades themselves, causing them to become electrified, or more so then they already were, and sending bolts of agony into Zanken. Zanken nearly lost his grip on the blades, but one thing kept him going, a single minded determination that would not let him give up. I shall not lose, I shall not lose, I shall not lose. "I SHALL NOT LOOOOOSEE!!!" Zanken roared out, redoubling his grip on the blades, crashing his foot into the ground and flinging himself forwards even more, and converting all of the pain he was feeling into power and speed for his slashes. Since Zieg was in the middle of moving backwards, Zanken could not fully hit him, however, the blades were long enough that it was enough to crash the last foot of the steel into him. The white blade crashed into his left first, a wave of white fire blasting out from the attack, the fire splashing onto his torso and arm, and also onto his revolver, which heated it up to a burning sensation in Zieg's hand. The black blade crashed into the right side of Zieg, sending a burst of black ice across his ribs which started to creep along Zieg, consuming part of his Reitsu as it went. The ice also partially splashed onto the revolver on Zieg's right hand, starting to cover that as well. Normally this is all that would happen, however, the blades, and Zanken, were currently electrified at the moment. The metal blades acted as a conductor which channeled part of the electricity into Zieg, which also went into his revolvers, since they were metal and all. As the slash finished, Zanken hit the ground and lay there for a bit, before pushing his hand on the ground and getting into a kneeling position, using the white blade to support him. The blade was still burning with white fire. What would happen now.

[Zieg Revolver]

Zieg grinned maddeningly and actually released an eerie laugh as he took the attacks, of course falling backwards onto the ground and dropped his now partially frozen revolver and heated up revolver. However, he continued laughing, seemingly uneffected by the attacks, no... he was effected, but positively. Indeed, he had just been injuries greatly but he was enjoying it! Even after being electrified, iced and burned, he had shown no signs of pain though he clearly had obvious wounds. "GAHAHAHAHA! THATS FUCKING LIKE IT!" Zieg cackled, his body literally smoking as he gradually got up into a kneeling position, his eyes flaring crimson red as he grinned maddeningly. He glanced at the creeping ice on his body, grabbing the revolver that was heated up moments ago, pulled the hammer of the revolver he had in his hand, selecting the element of fire for it. He then aimed downward at the ice and shot a bullet of fire out of it straight through the ice, planning on melting it. He saw his other revolver was beginning to ice over also and shot a fire bullet by it, a small plume of firing appearing after it hit the ground, radiating intense heat to melt the ice. He pulled the hammer back again, selecting water and firing it at the revolver to cool it down and swiftly grabbed it, aiming both at Zanken. "READY YOURSELF, ZANKEN! THE FINAL ATTACK AWAITS!" Zieg laughed, his reiatsu exploding out of his body and suddenly, his revolvers glew with his crimson red and aqua blue reiatsu, an aura of it surrounding them and charging in the barrels as it seemingly gathering inside the barrels. "Desu Kyanon!" Zieg shouted after about 3 seconds and a beam like blast of his reiatsu and the elements fire, water, wind,earth and lightning together from his revolvers. The extent of the blast was extremely powerful which resulted in a massive recoil, enough in combination with the force of the blast to send Zieg skidding backwards and also launch Zanken back. The blast was very much like a cero, size and shape wise however was not at its full strength since it was based on the amount of reiatsu he gave up that determined the strength, making the attack at a strength of 400. However, the charging time and everything before that gave Zanken time to unleash a final attack, most likley with the flames he still had.

Zanken's eyes widened as Zieg said something about a "Final Attack". Well, this could not be good, for Zanken at least. Zanken saw the Reitsu explode out of his body, and at that moment, he knew he had to act. Zanken, ignoring the groans and shrieks of protest his body was sending him, quickly got up. Zieg was now pointing his guns at him, and seemed to be charging them up now. Well, this is gonna hurt, a lot. Zanken thought. A second, thats how long it took Zanken to assume his Rakurai stance, and then he was gone. Zanken reappeared in front of Zieg, and struck out with his right hand at his left arm. Now, even though this was a powerful strike, normally this would not have broken his arm. However, Zanken was wearing plate mail gauntlets, and doing this greatly enhanced the power of the blow. Since Zieg was charging, he could not avoid the blow, so the attack would break his left arm to his hand. This sent Zieg flying back a bit and would cause him to drop a revolver. "One.." Zanken muttered. Zanken vanished again! What?! He was using Rakurai more then once?! Ohh this would not be good for him, especially because of the after effects. Zanken appeared behind Zieg this time, and he struck out at his back. It was squarely in his back to, and the fact that he was flying forwards would almost be enough to break it. Zanken did not break his back as he hit him though, rather, it was hard enough to paralyze Zieg for a full minute. "Two... Zanken muttered again. What!?!? Three times in a row!?! Zanken used the last Rakurai he would use for this fight, appearing in front of Zieg as he was flying again. "THREEE!!!" Zanken roared out, his metal encased fist meeting Zieg's chest. This would break ribs, four maybe, five at most. It also sent Zieg flying into the ground. Zanken hit the ground a second later, extremely exhausted from what he had just done. He would not be able to move now, though the effect would last for only five minutes. Five minutes on the battle field though, was a huge amount of time.

[Zieg Revolver]

There was little Zieg could do. His chaotic side refused to listen to reason, to just attack him now and there instead of using his final attack. No, it wanted to finish Zanken off with a mighty finish but it Zanken had put a stop to that, using his Rekuai technique which Zieg didn't expect. One by one, he took the hits and ended up skidding back on the ground, the charging reiatsu disparting as his revolvers dropped out of his hands. With an arm and hand broken, several ribs broken and a temporarily paralyzed body, Zieg could not continue the fight and his chaotic side sank back into him as his consciousness, his grin now returning to his normally stated. His revolvers flashed white, returning to their sealed zanpakuto stated instantly into his sheathe. Now, it was up to Zanken to tame the zanpakuto spirit of the heaven blade for himself and bring the two back to soul society.

Kodaiyiseki's ring of fire, and mountains of lava vanished, the smoky haze clearing to reveal that which had happened, that which had transpired. He had witnessed the entire battle. Even now, Kodaiyiseki did not take his eyes from Zanken and Zieg as he lowered to the ground. A golden glow moved across Zanken, rejuvenating him, healing his wounds, powering him for his fight against the spirit. The spirit itself did not embody the full power of the blade. That's what they'd been told before coming here. The spirits themselves could tap into only 1/12 of the power afforded by one of the Blades of Abhorrence. Therefore, it wasn't out of the question for Zanken to be able to win. Before, Zieg's attack had had no effect because Kodaiyiseki had been immune. So long as two combatants remained to challenge him for his power, he couldn't be touched by either one. There had to be one combatant. He had to be struck at in a one on one fight. That was the law of the blade.

Now, with the battle between Zanken and Zieg finished, Kodaiyiseki pulled out a golden blade covered in golden flames. His eyes glowed as lava danced all around. "It's time." he declared in his most majestic, and powerful voice. In an instant, he was on Zanken, his blade moving forwards. The rejuvenation had also reset Zanken to sealed state, and so he'd be unable to block using his powers. He needed to release once again to do so. And now, with the Blade of Heaven attacking, what could he do? All he could do was begin to fight. Just fight and fight and fight until he had won or lost. It mattered this time, more than any other. If he lost, he and Zieg were dead. If he lost, then this whole battle had been for nothing, their sacrifices in vain. If he lost, the Soul Society would never defeat the Vizards. With all of this weight and pressure on his shoulders, that was all that he had left.

SPOILER: Click to show

Kodaiyiseki uses powers separate from what the blade itself is capable of. He uses his own abilities, totally different from what is to be expected. This is because each spirit tests their wielder in some way. He manipulates golden flames along his body and blade, and can also shape it around his body and blade. This makes him especially dangerous at close quarters. He has the power to purify darkness, and this means that certain things will be ineffective against his purity light attack. Beyond these things, he can't do much else. His ace attack, his final power, creates a gigantic, god-like falcon of golden flames all around him, and he charges forwards, slashing as he sends those flames into the enemy.
