Arc 0: Canon -99: Need No Lies [R, NDE, H-E]

[Shade Kawada]

Ousama’s eyes focused intently on Jin as his body was sent crumbling to the ground. With both of his Achilles tendons severed, there would be no way for him to possibly move. The fight had certainly reached its conclusion. Ousama wheeled himself closer to the bount’s fallen body with a stoic look on his face. “Tell it...to my secretary...mate...” said the bount as he fought with his body’s own limits, forcing himself up as the wounds that were inflicted by Ousama seemingly miraculously healed. “I...can’t...” Jin muttered, “I can’t...I can’t...I won’t! I won’t let you Shinigami continue to talk down to us...”

“Us?”[/i] pondered Ousama for a moment as he watched his prey’s wounds heal, “Who is he referring to? Ultimately it does not matter. I will kill him regardless and let the streets run red with his blood.” Ousama didn’t move a muscle as Jin withdrew what seemed to be a golden yoyo and sent it flying in the Captain’s direction. “Pitiful...” grunted Ousama as the doll was released and surrounded Ousama in a cloud of orange dust. Ousama recognized immediately that this was not a release that he’d seen before. Whatever Jin was, it was not akin to hollow or shinigami.

However, Jin’s actions did not stop there. The orange gas that had surrounded Ousama began to condense and form a beam of brightly glowing energy. This beam shot forwards at the shinigami, threatening to destroy him if it touched, however Ousama didn’t look worried in the least. Ousama shifted slightly in his seat as the beam that was heading in his direction collided with an invisible barrier. The bount would find that his attack was useless. The incredibly hot gaseous beam could not even reach the Captain as the countless invisible swords he acquired in release formed a wall between him and Jin. As the beam of heat clashed against the invisible barrier of blades, Jin would retreat to a building to Ousama’s left using immense speed.

Jin, who was under the illusionary effects of Ousama’s release, would not be able to even see the blades that had cut him only moments earlier. This was what made Ousama’s shikai such a pain to deal with. “I told you to beg for DEATH!” growled the crippled captain as he allowed Jin to realize what he’d done. Jin had chosen to run blindly through a battlefield full of blades that were completely invisible to him. This was not the best tactical move and ended up causing him severe injury. Over seven blades stuck out of the bount’s torso and limbs, since Jin had actually run himself into the blades when he tried changing positions. One thing that Ousama loved to do with his release, was surround his opponents with floating blades so that they would kill themselves by trying to move. Jin had made just that mistake. Ousama had even been sure to avoid touching the orange mist with his invisible blades, for he sensed another entity housed in Jin’s release. He couldn’t be sure what it was, but Ousama’s motto had always been that you didn’t need to know what something was to kill it.

Jin would most certainly fall to the ground in pain, but that would not stop the next attack from coming at the Captain. Ousama looked over at Hitze as the doll sent an orange cloud of heat at him in the form of mist. “Hado 83... Sekkenkooriboufuu...” said the shinigami with a bored look as he pointed his arm in the direction of the intense heat. Jin’s jaw would likely drop in reaction to what happened next. An immense storm of ice shot out of the captain’s hand and completely engulfed the attack as it traveled towards him. The hit had been guaranteed due to the speed at which the gas was traveling and Ousama’s own innate sensing abilities. But what would be truly astonishing was, due to the captain’s immense reiatsu strength and the fact that this was a kido numbering in the 80’s, it froze all traces of Hitze that it hit. Yes, Ousama had literally frozen an attack composed out of pure heat. Who was this man?

“I want to hear you squeal like a pig...” he said as he wheeled himself closer to Jin’s once-again, maimed body.

OOC: It's pretty obvious I have nothing to do right now. Keep on posting.

[Cupid Koikokoro]

Cupid was making his way through seireitei. He hoped he had been heading in the correct direction. He was alert and making sure that he would not directly encounter any captains if he could help it. However somehow the eleventh squad captain crept up onto him. How this happened was a mystery to Cupid but he was going to need to be very careful with this guy. He could feel his immense pressure and knew that this was going to be pretty dangerous. Cupid hadn't known whether to flee or to stand his ground. Standing his ground he could seeif he can stand on toes against an original captain and that was a rare chance for Cupid. He hadn't fought any captains and now there was one right before him. The opportunity was screaming out to him however Cupid knew tha fighting him was high risk.

There was no one Cupid was going to let himself run away just yet. He needed to see how powerful this guy was before he decided to run. Cupid planted his feet onto the ground and looked forward to the Captain. "Very impressive. You definitely know how to get a guy going. Care to tell me your name Sir?" Cupid said in a meek voice. The destructive force coming from this massive man on top of his physic had Cupid turned on! however he was still on his guard he knew this guy wasn't going to fuck around with him. Or at least he didn't expect as much. Cupid's eyes were fastened to Guren. Cupid stood idly while he absorbed more reaitsu from the environment. Cupid wasn't one to make the first move, but he was in a rare mood today. This time he was going to do something that he wouldn't normally. Cupid fired an arrow from the barrel of his tonfa at Guren to see how he would react to it.

[Zou ۞]

"I'm Kenpachi...." the big man said as Cupid fired his arrow. Reiatsu continued to pur off of his body, and he slapped the arrow aside with a casual backhand. It shattered against his hand due to the outpour of reiatsu coming off of his body. "Kenpachi Guren." He swung his sword in retaliation to Cupid's arrow. As soon as he swung, the air temperature lowered. No, this wasn't it. It seemed as if the air stopped existing. Oxygen seemed to stop existing. Once he swung, Cupid would not be able to breathe at all for that single instant. Just that one second of the swing. Essentially, Cupid would feel the power of this man just from a single swing. With that swing, there came an attack. A huge wave of reiatsu exploded outward towards Cupid.

This was only the first part of the mighty assault. Kenpachi smirked at Cupid. His grin was gigantic, like a Cheshire cat. And this was a part of why he would be considered to be so terrifying. "Captain of Squad 11." He rushed forwards. In the instant that he blasted forwards, Cupid would find once again that there was no air. It was nothing that would be detrimental. It was simply a show of Kenpachi's incredible presence. His incredible power. He was different from the Kenpachis that would follow him. He was on an entirely different level from the Kenpachis that would proceed to follow him. The way that he moved...it was rhythmic. He was only moving at Cupid's speed for the moment. But it was probably that he was holding back.

He had an equal speed to Cupid at that time, and his physical strength thus far had proved to be incredibly impressive. When he arrived at Cupid with his arm overhead however, the attack that had to be watched was the reiatsu. As his blade came swinging down, there was no doubt that his incredible, surging reiatsu would explode all around and destroy. It would certainly dominate the area they fought in. Once his blade came down, a huge blast of golden reiatsu the size of a house emerged from the blast. It was enough to consume a huge amount of that area. And of course, Cupid too would be caught if he did not get away. What were the statistical values of Kenpachi? Cupid had yet to find out, of course.

Edited Reiatsu count. Forgot to deduct for a technique.

"Augh." Jin found himself suddenly coughing up blood when he tried to move. He also found that he was punctured all over. Something had stabbed him in his side, in his legs, in his arms, and through his chest. Luckily, vital organs had been missed, but essentially, he had become a human pincushion without the Captain even having to do anything. What the bloody hell happened? He coughed up more blood and dropped to his knees. Blood leaked out of so many holes in his body. Jin looked down at his body, but he couldn't see any type of weapon protruding from the bloody holes. His eyes widened suddenly. W-what's going on here?! I can feel something piercing my body, but I can't see anything!

Jin lifted his head at that moment, and he was shocked by what he saw. Ousama had somehow stopped his Erste Komposition attack. The beam of energy hadn't even reached the Captain! And then, as if to make the situation that much worse, with a simple gesture of his hand and a few simple words, the Captain released a Kidou on a level that Jin had never before seen. A huge storm of ice and snow rushed out of his hand and froze the Hitzewelle attack Hitze had released. He had frozen a field of super concentrated heat energy! "Impossible!" That was all Jin could say as he stared open-mouthed at his frozen attack.

This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. He had to be dreaming, right? Right?! Was this really the power of a Captain from 32,000 years ago? Ousama had countered both of his attacks so effortlessly. And he wasn't even visibly affected by the intense heat surrounding them. Was this really going to be the end for Jin? He heard the Captain telling him to give in, to squeal like a pig. Maybe he should give in. Maybe he shou-NO! He couldn't give up now. He was the hope of his race. Most Bount looked up to him to protect them. He knew that he wasn't as strong as Ousama was, but that didn't mean that he couldn't go out giving it his all.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" with a scream full of rage, pain, and determination, Jin released reiatsu all around his body. The invisible blades that had pierced him were all blown away by the shockwave of reiatsu that expelled itself from him. The blades tore apart more of his body as they were forced out, but it was nothing that Vok Sheit couldn't handle. As soon as the blades had been expelled, his insides and his skin began regenerating and healing. The blood stopped flowing and soon began drying up in the intense heat around them. The holes were sealing themselves up right before the Captain's eyes. Jin was panting as the Captain approached. The bloke is stronger than me, but I have to keep a level head. I have to fight with everything I have and I can't let up. In this time, I'm fighting for all of the Bount his race will slaughter in my own time. I'm fighting to protect them. I'll give even my body for that cause...

As the invisible blades were blasted out of his wounds by the shockwave, they in turn hit other blades that had been surrounding Jin. The movement from those blades was instantly picked up by Hitze. The doll could sense the kinetic energy from the movement, even if it was only a small movement. And with that information, Hitze knew that its master was surrounded by more than just the blades that Jin had been skewered with. Hitze increased the temperature around Jin very suddenly but kept the temperature around Ousama at over 120 degrees Celsius. Heat began rising into the air as the temperature above Jin increased. All of a sudden, Ousama would feel a cold rush of air move across his body very suddenly. The cold would be enough to chill his bones and stiffen him a little; however, this wasn't the main purpose of that cold front of wind. The wind that suddenly moved in was also meant to blow away the swords around Jin, sending them flying in random directions. Of course, since Ousama could control them mentally, this was probably a futile effort, but nonetheless it didn't hurt to try. And with Ousama being caught offguard by the sudden cold front that stiffened his body, he might not be able to hold his control over them while the wind blew them away.

Jin felt the cold blow across his own body too, but he tried to hide the shivering from Ousama. He tried to remain calm, despite the sudden cold that had come over him. He suspected that had been Hitze's doing, and he commanded the doll now to go on the offensive. "Hitze, drehen Sie den Boden bis Lava." he commanded the doll. The reason for him doing so in German was simple. He suspected that with this Soul Society being 32,000 years in the past, they wouldn't know yet of the German language. They wouldn't even know of the two races that primarily used this language, and this gave Jin an element of surprise in his next attack.

In response to his order, the ground around Jin began boiling very suddenly. Ten feet from Jin and all around him in that radius of ten feet, the ground appeared to turn to water; though of course, this was all a mirage created by heating the ground. The heat doll condensed it's body into a 10 foot square radius around Jin. With this sudden condensation, Jin's body began shifting and wavering. The heat haze created from Hitze's body surrounding the Bount Executive was incredible, but since Ousama was blind, this would have no effect really on his sight. That wasn't the point of what Jin was doing next really. In a few seconds, the floor underneath Jin began sinking. The rocks and minerals underneath the tiles were melting! For what Jin was trying to do, he would need some time, but for now Ousama couldn't approach because of the heat. Unless he wanted to get burned severely.

From his position on the ground, he flicked both hands up. The fingers on each of his hands were sparking and crackling ferociously with blue lightning when he lifted them, and after a few seconds Ousama would find out why. "Dun Moch..." he hissed. Twenty four bolts of lightning shot off of his ten fingers and zoomed towards Ousama as he was wheeling himself towards Jin. They shot out in a spray, so all twenty four weren't guaranteed to hit the crippled Captain, but nonetheless, he was still in danger. Essentially, the technique was like a multi-shot of the Shinigami kidou, Byakurai. The two were similar in effectiveness, except that this technique had another nasty effect besides shooting off more bolts of lightning. If even one of those bolts hit him, it would electrocute him wherever it hit and turn that part to a greenish goo. Jin was counting on him using a kidou to counter, and when he did, Jin had his own surprise in store. He wasn't going down without a fight.

[Shade Kawada]

Ousama wheeled himself over to Jin’s fallen body as the bount bled on the ground. “Impossible!” exclaimed the bount as he caught a glimpse of his frozen attack. “AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” screamed the bount as he released reiatsu all around his body, blowing the blades out of his body with a shockwave. Like before, Vok Sheit began to mend the bount’s wounds and blood stopped gushing out of Jin’s body. Needless to say, the blades weren’t blown back as far as Jin expected due to the sheer strength difference between the two. One might have wondered if Ousama hadn’t just simply allowed Jin to blow his swords away so that the fight could continue. Either way, Ousama didn’t seem to think that stopping the bount’s healing was too high of a priority and he readied himself to fight as the bount finished healing.

“Hitze, dehen Sie den Boden bis Lava,” ordered Jin after he’d healed himself. As soon as the strange words were spoken, the ground around Jin began to literally boil and steam as if it was melting. Though he could not see, Ousama knew exactly what was happening. Hitze was more visible to him than he was to any other opponent Jin could have fought. Ousama could envision and locate bodies of reiatsu such as Hitze in his sleep. Jin was no exception either. There would simply be no way to catch the captain off-guard, however Jin could take advantage of Ousama’s limited mobility. The captain stopped his approach before he reached the super hot pool between them just as Jin had planned.

“Dun Moch...” said the bount as he aimed his fingers at the captain who was sitting still in his wheelchair with seemingly no defense. In an instant, twenty four bolts of lightning shot in his direction. Surely a wheelchair bound cripple couldn’t avoid this kind of assault. As soon as Jin fired, he would see something he had not expected. Ousama had somehow dodged all of the projectiles. One second the captain was just sitting there, and the next he had almost instantly travelled around seven yards directly to his left against the grain of his wheels. How was this even possible? Jin wouldn’t figure it out just yet, but Ousama actually had a variety of different sheaths attached to his wheelchair, all facing different directions. Some were anchored to the underside of his chair and some could be found on the back. Whenever Ousama needed to move somewhere fast, he controlled one of his invisible blades to enter the sheath in the direction he wished to go and pushed himself at incredible speeds in that direction.

This new development would change the fight dramatically. The only seeming advantage that Jin had over Ousama was just dashed. By keeping some of his invisible blades in the sheathes attached to his wheelchair he was guaranteed exceptional mobility, even while crippled. “Is that all?” muttered Ousama as he raised his arm at Jin, who was still lying on the ground. In an instant, the bount would feel a blade sliding into his sternum, between both of his lungs and through his ribcage. “Pathetic... Skewered like the pig you are... Stare into the reality of your own demise and reap this end I have provided you with,” said Ousama was he began lifting Jin’s body into the air by the blade he’d stuck him with.

It was at this moment that Ousama’s attention was caught by something else. A black hell butterfly entered the area and alighted on the captain’s shoulder. “Hmm?” grumbled the elderly man as he listened to what the butterfly’s message was. Ousama cringed halfway through listening and swatted the insect away, “Tch... You’ve lucked out, ryoka...” Jin was dropped to the ground and left to bleed out as Ousama continued to speak. “I’ve been ordered to bring you in alive, though nothing would please me more than you attacking me and forcing me to kill you. Ousama waited for the bount’s answer as he rested his arms on his knees, leaning forwards with a hateful expression on his decrepit face.
