Arc 2: Canon 32: Need No Guns (2) [Complete]

[Sokujin Akai]

Sojukin hadn’t bothered moving after his last strike at Dun; he was busy admiring the fact that he could actually touch someone for once. As his eyes wandered over his body for a moment, he heard an ear splitting scream, Dun had just lost an eye and Adalo was the culprit. Oh, well time for the delight to end for the moment. Such was one of life’s many disappointments, just as this fight had been. As he could see it, Adalo had rendered Dun into a screaming puddle of nothing; Adalo was probably waiting for him to do something now. It was best not to disappoint right now, especially with his plan. He moved, taking a casual pace up-behind Dun. It was almost pathetic now, even without his hierro or ceros this would be all too easy. All he had to do was put Dun into a lock and that would be it. Chuckling to him, he bounded around a building and let Adalo tough it out for a moment; the psychopath deserved it for the moment. As he came back around the building, Adalo and Dun were just passing by. Sojukin jumped from the shadows and Dun, far too busy attacking Adalo to notice him, was about to be put into the tightest hold he’d ever experience. At the moment Dun swung down at Adalo, whom was now most likely laughing playfully as he avoided Dun’s highly telegraphed blows, Sojukin arrived. Already his body was in motion before Dun’s arm was righting itself back into an attack position.

“Hey Dun, remember me?” Sojukin said immediately springing his trap. Even without his reiatsu strength, he was still a powerful opponent; working in conjunction with Adalo just made him that much more deadly. It didn’t even take an instant and Sojukin’s arms had pulled back under Dun’s; a full nelson that is what the human race called it. It was already a powerful lock that most people couldn’t get out of, it always took time to get out of it. Wrestlers used it for a submission hold and that was exactly what Sojukin was going to do. He wasn’t going to wait for Dun to start vibrating, he wasn’t stupid, even if he did though; Adalo would have enough time to finish this. Sojukin had gone beyond a full nelson, he had perfected it so that an opponent would be unable to move for a few moments during the hold, unless monstrously more powerful than himself. Arms wrapped around Dun’s clutching them backwards. Sojukin didn’t listen to hear if the joints popped or not; instead his arms bent to either side of Dun’s neck. This position created an awkward X around Dun’s throat, though soon the applied pressure cut of his air supply. Even if his hierro could no longer slice him to bit, he could still grip Dun with ease; Dun’s head was cradled in Sojukin’s hands, locking it into place. In a particularly nasty gesture, Sojukin began to force Dun’s good eye open as he called over to Adalo.

“Alright Adalo…finish him off.”

OOC: Skip my post. Do a post to combo this, and tomorrow I'll put up a final post ending this thread. Today for me isn't a posting day.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" Adalo moved forwards and used his blinding speed while Dun was caught to shove his sword forwards in a stab and stab it into Dun's eye. Blood sprayed out with the clean hit when the blade went straight through the head, going into the brain and cutting into that, severing everything in a burning and fiery feeling of agony and pain for the victim. The screams that Adalo heard were delicious, as was the blood that landed on his outstretched tongue at the time of this happening. Adalo laughed a hearty laugh, the laugh of an insane maniac, the lunatic that belonged in the asylum. "THAT'S RIGHT! YOUR POWER CAN'T KILL ME! EVEN IF YOU REDUCE MY POWER, YOU'RE WORTHLESS!!! HAHAHAHAHA, ARE YOU GOING TO CRY? OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T. YOU'RE DEAD."

Adalo was sure he could have killed Dun without Sokujin there to interfere. Sokujin had actually been useless in this. It was Adalo that got the first true hit, it was Adalo that drove his enemy insane and gave this victory. It was Adalo that took the killing blow. All Sokujin did was try to get this person in some half-assed hold. Adalo saw now that this fight should have been a one on one. He was disappointed. Why send Sokujin if Adalo could do it? It infuriated him. Adalo had done everything. He'd been toying when Sokujin came along. He could easily have gotten that hit even if Sokujin hadn't captured Dun in some stupid hold. Adalo wasn't pleased, and he was going to make sure that there was a day when he expressed to Las Noches that they didn't dare underestimate his real strength.

Blood shot into the air in a single spurting moment of a few droplets, noticeably not much blood coming from the killing blow. Of course, this was only to be expected. The killing blow was simple. As Dun's effects wore off, his release fading from his corpse, the sun's rays touched over his face, gleaming on him. It was beginning to set. It was the late afternoon now, almost dusk in fact, with the sun sinking ever closer to the horizon. Dun's body dropped away from Sokujin and Adalo towards the great below, and it was then that, in its final moments, others that worked with the Escudo turned and gasped, seeing the prodigy that was Dun fall. Laughter echoed all around. Laughter. Why were the Escudo forces snickering so? Was the death of their comrade really that amusing to them? Or were these two Espada trivial to them? Either way, the fight here was over, at the very least.

Meanwhile, the atrocious, mounting pressure of the area maximized, capping at a huge, insidious aura that turned stomachs all around inside out. And then at last, as the one to whom it belonged arrived, the aura died down, becoming a soft and simple, rhythmic and single violin in the background. That was the level at which it existed, at which he chose to have it displayed. Once again, Asa's gigantic Forza Adamento aura was crushing down around, since there was nothing else to bluff it. But, the one that had appeared here was unaffected. His cool smile was there, keeping at even level with Asa. "I have arrived...Asa Escudo." Sonken Kouhai, the King of Las Noches declared rather boldly. His eyes retained a focus on her, and his Zanpakuto was already out. Though Asa was in a golden glow, bathed in her majestic reiatsu, it was still the same. Now, their fight would arrive.
