Shin's Training

[Shinzu]

The abyss of the night sky was torn as ribbons of orange illuminated what little shadows lurked beneath the rooftops which stretched toward the heavens. As quickly as it had came, the cloudless sky underneath the stars soon parted to reveal the beginning of dawn in the midst of Karakura Town, the hub of all things spiritual. Though its residents were still fast asleep, the streets were littered with a variety of otherworldly beings.

In the centre of the mayhem was a hooded figure dressed entirely in black. His very presence seemed to spark fear in the hearts of the souls whom scattered instinctively upon his arrival, fleeing in terror as he approached a small child far to frightened to even scream. Grabbing the boy by the throat, the hooded figure lunged him onto a wall. Not even sparing a single word, the dark figure sank his teeth into the souls flesh.

Two lines of blood trickled down the child’s throat before his body erupted into a flurry of pale blue flames. As if his very life was being drained, his skin became dry and wrinkled, reducing to nothing more than cracks even from the slightest touch. Eventually the flames died out, most of which escaped into the surroundings whilst a generous portion was absorbed into the man. Clearly more than satisfied, the man released his grip as he began to walk away. Upon hitting the floor the child’s lifeless corpse disintegrated under the impact, his flesh and bone broken down into nothing more than ashes, now destined to be scattered around by the wind.

“I’m getting the hang of this…” The bount thought to himself. Climbing his way onto the top of a convenience store, he crouched down upon the rooftop. Like a hawk, his dull grey eyes darted from side to side as they scanned the surroundings for his next prey. Upon locating a stray soul, the vampiric creature dashed onto the textured concrete and approached another helpless child whimpering in cowardice.

Though this time a girl, the bount showed no signs of mercy as he reeled in the child by her leg. With little to no remorse his fangs were plunged into the girl’s throat. Obviously she would be sharing the same fate as the man’s previous victim as her body stiffened up and ignited in a familiar blue glow. Like glass, the soul shattered instantly as her life force was drained. Eerily the ambient reiatsu seemed to be drawn to the man unlike last time. Not wasting a single drop, Shinzu absorbed the blue flames before continuing with his hunt.

By now most of the souls had fled far beyond sight. Before Shinzu could track them down however, a cold shiver in the air alerted him of another presence. A distortion had begun to form in the sky, parting the clouds themselves as they seemingly drifted away. Silence swept over the area before the skies ripped open harshly, revealing an endless chasm of dark energy. From its murky depths crawled through a twisted figure, consumed with hunger as its gapping mouth parted to release a torrent of endless drool much like a waterfall.

The beast was a massive humanoid figure, covered in unruly brown fur that resembled prickles over all else. Its ape-like body swung around mindlessly as its immense and unproportionate arms dragged along the ground. Its face had been swallowed by a sickening pure white mask with a distressed look about it, almost as if screaming for pity. Not being the type to ever offer such salvation however, Shinzu let out a sigh before dashing back a few feet, allowing a further amount of distance to build up between him and the beast.

“Feed…Me…” It groaned. Not allowing time to react, the creature immediately charged in recklessly as its arm flailed around wildly. Barrel rolling to the side, Shinzu dodged the beast whom had ended up crashing into a building. In its dazed state, the Bount ran up across its arched back and began pummeling the back of its head. Clearly in pain, the ape thrust its arm and scooped the man off it. “Tch.” The man whispered as he hit the textured ground.

Staggering up right, a sharp pain on his left shoulder signaled the state he was in. With his pupils illuminating in a faint blue, the man’s arm began to resonate with a strong aura. Forming a ball like shape in his palm, Shinzu focused as it extended slightly to reveal a small blade about the size of a kitchen knife. Before the handle could fully form however, the beasts screech sent a startling tingle throughout the Bount’s body, causing the weapon to disintegrate before it could take shape.

With a pleased grin the ape charged in for another tackle, grunting vigorously as the concrete below it began to crumble. Thrusting himself into a window display, the man escaped into the shop as the beast dashed past and dropped to the floor as the momentum of its attack proved far too great to overcome. With plenty of time to react, the man exited onto the grey street before forming another knife from his twisting reiatsu.

This time fully formed, the blade of the weapon sparked as it emitted a faint grinding noise. As the beast turned its head, the knife was thrown at it with great precision. The blade hit the ape’s chest dead on, however the impact caused the weapon to shatter almost instantaneously. Though its shards had left deep lacerations into the creature, it was hardly the amount of damage Shinzu was aiming for. “I still can’t control it…” The man murmured to himself as he clenched his fists.

The beast by now had been consumed by its own rage, screaming out in pain as it began thrashing around violently. Lowering its head, it became evident that it was preparing for another charge. Taking in a deep breath, Shinzu held out his arm once more and allowed the flowing reiatsu to form another knife. This time however the blade howled viciously as the sparks around it danced without end. As the creature flung itself forward the knife was thrown toward its chest; this time piercing threw as it dropped to the ground.

With a scorched hole torn on his body, the hollow began rolling around the floor in pain and letting out whimpers. Taking pleasure from the beasts suffering, Shinzu walked toward it and rested his foot onto the back of its head. Smirking away, he prepared to drain the creature of its reiatsu however it soon became apparent that the beast was far from dead. Mustering up its last bit of strength, the ape swung its arm and sent Shinzu flying back a few feet.

Winded, the Bount barley had enough strength left to pull himself up as the beast conjured up a Garganta and began allowing itself to become swallowed by its shadows. Not in the mood to leave a survivor, Shinzu began building up reiatsu once more. In a pillar of blue flames, the blade stretched out further than before, reaching a length comparable to that of a sword. Not bothering to test it out first, he thrust it at the fleeing creature.

A moment too late, the portal closed up and the sword zoomed threw the air at a frightening speed, piercing through a lamppost before embedding itself into a thick building wall at the end of its journey. The upper portion of the lamp immediately dropped to the ground, its lower half glowing strongly like a furnace at the area in which it was cut. “He got away…” The Bount cursed before he inspected the scorch marks on his quivering hand.
