To be broken, but remade Stronger (NDE/Closed)

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru Kuchiki made her way through the spiritual gates again. This time, Soul Society was sending her to Moscow, Russia. She was told to dress warmly, so she was wearing her uniform but over that, she wore a nice, fluffy winter coat and wore boots. She didn't want to risk anything, so she also grabbed some mittens for her hands and a nice big scarf to cover her face from the cold. She stepped out from the gates and stood on the roof. If she hadn't worn those boots, she probably would've slipped on the ice.

She looked out and could tell they put her out on the outskirts of the city Moscow. It's the capital of the country, Russia, another place she had never been to before. There was colder weather back when she was alive in Japan, but nothing like this frigid temperature. It was so cold, she could actually feel some of it through her layers of clothing. She didn't even know the details of her mission. They told her once she got to the Human World, they would call her with details. 

Right when she started thinking about it, her cell phone rings. She picks up quickly and answers, "Kuchiki, Hotaru here." They proceeded to then tell her the details about her mission. There was a huge sighting of hollows in the area, but they all mysteriously vanished, pretty much all at once. She was then told that there was only one reiatsu signature found, a human one. She could only think of one human that she had met a little bit ago that could actually kill a huge quantity of hollow like that. 

Soul Society wanted her to try to find out who this human was and make sure that it was the human or if it was some rogue spiritual being that they didn't know about. She agreed and then hung up the phone. She knew it had to be that one man she met by that moonlit lake those months ago. She wondered what he would be doing here, probably on another job. He seemed to be married to his work. She then started the long task of trying to find him in the huge city. She sighed, thinking it's times like this that she wished she could sense reiatsu better. 

She started off in the city, just on the off chance that he would be in the city. After about an hour, exploring most of the city, and making mental notes of this city's 'monuments' to maybe ask him about, she left the city proper. She started to work her way through the outskirts of the city, where she was left by the gates. She searched through the outskirts and she wasn't able to find him there either. Well, she thought to herself, she found him in the woods, maybe he went back to a wooded area. 

She walked out a little bit and found a nearby forest. She didn't know if this area would be booby-trapped or not. She knew that this man was extremely powerful and not to be messed with, but he might take precautions. She started to slowly make her way through the forest. She tried her best to sense his area. Once she found it though, she could feel it easily. Once it hit her, she Shunpoed to his area. She stopped right outside the tree line and slowly walked out to where he was. "Hello again. I didn't know if I would get to meet you again or not. Soul Society sent me to check out a massive hollow disappearance with only a human signature left behind. Was that you?"

[Pavel Fedoseev]

Pave, XSG Number Three. A Rifle the top three assassins in the organization of Xcution stood at the center of the forest in the outskirts of Moscow among the quickly decaying corpses of the recently killed hollows. Around him there was a sign of a major conflict, trees knocked over, and some completely launched from their stumps along with various spatters of blood. But there was no bodies the hollows quickly began to decay as they were quickly killed, and Pavel stood there. Dressed in a tan overcoat, underneath the overcoat was his typical business shirt and his blood red tie, the man also wore black smooth leather black gloves along with his typical dress pants and insulated black boots, on his head was a black military cap and covering his entire face and head was the custom made Balaclava made from Uzaki Enterprise his eyes covered with the specially made ski-goggles made of one way glass, this allowed him to see perfectly out of the goggles but make it impossible for someone to look into it. He stood there and gazed at the surroundings, taking every step as calm and relaxed as possible. The man had always had a dislike for hollows because they were just so loud and noisy, they would come into places and interrupt lives and just bring general disruption to the population, and they had to be punished. These hollows in particular were just another statistic to how many hollows Pavel tore apart.

As he gazed at the area around him, his energy sensory would pick up a familiar guest. The woman from before who looked to be a bit younger than himself, as she began to speak he turned to face her. From her perspective, there would be no bit of skin left exposed. Everything covered the man in order to protect his identity and to make sure that he is a bit warm from the cold air. "Hello again. I didn't know if I would get to meet you again or not. Soul Society sent me to check out a massive hollow disappearance with only a human signature left behind. Was that you?" "Ah. It is you again. Hello." the tone was not rude nor was it as if Pavel did not want to see this person let alone talk to her. It was a tone as if a welcome guest walked in at a rather unconvinient time. And after a few seconds if silence he pointed at the area around him and stepped to the side "You can say that it is... my work." the man continued. "So yes. The disappearance was my doing." the man continued. "Now to answer your statement of not knowing whether you would meet me again? I did not quite expect a drop by so soon. Especially here in this country and around this time. I did not expect you to meet me ever again afterwards." the man continued as he walked towards one of the stumps.

He sat down and removed a small bag from behind the stump, with a single zip he removed a canister and two coffee cups. "Come. Take a seat. Have some coffee. What do I owe for this sudden visit?" the man continued to pour himself and Hotaru a cup of coffee and held it outwards. When she grasped onto the cup Pavel was sure to get up and grab another stump, without effor or wait he ripped the stump out of the ground and placed it across the one he was sitting on before returning to his seat. "Coffee is always such a good drink to have especially with this kind of weather." he continued as he grasped onto his cup of coffee, the steam thick as the heat raised from the cup and into the air. "So what are you going to report back with?" he calmly asked.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru looked at the man she had chatted with what seemed like forever go. She had been so busy with work and her new status, it hadn't really been that long ago. He said that this was his work. From their last conversation, she had made an assumption that he killed at least something for his work. She was glad that it was hollows and not just people. He did say that it was his doing.

He then told her that he didn't expect for her to drop by so soon, she assumed after the hollow massacre. She saw all of the hollow bodies decaying around him. Soul Society was on their game today, that was sure. He then said that he never really expected to meet her again afterwards. "Yeah, well, I didn't think I would be running into you either. But, it is a nice surprise that the human happened to be someone that I had already met. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, running into humans I've already met."

He walked towards a stump, sat down and removed a small bag that just happened to be behind said stump. What came out of the bag was even more interesting. It was some kind of canister and two cups. He told her to then take a seat, have some coffee. She lit up a little on the coffee. She had had iced coffee before, so she hoped that this was similar enough that she would like it as well.

Before she could answer his question, he had poured her a cup of coffee. She grabbed it and he immediately got up, ripped a stump out of the ground and sat it across from his stump. He then sat down and grabbed his cup of coffee. She had never seen a human have that kind of strength to easily pull a stump out of the ground. But, he was the strongest human she had ever seen, so it wasn't impossible for her to think that he could do it easily.

Once she had her stump, she carefully sat down, making sure she didn't get any splinters. Once she sat and was fairly comfortable, she decided to answer his questions. Though first, she felt the heat from the coffee in her hands and took a quick drink. Once she drank some of it, her smile returned to her face. "Before I answer your questions, I just have to say that this coffee is SO GOOD! IT'S BETTER THAN ICED COFFEE AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE! Next, you owe the sudden visit to the huge hollow disappearance. You dealt with them rather quickly, but I shouldn't be too surprised. You're the strongest human I've ever met. What I would report with was that it was a human who did it, but he lives in the wilderness and would not cause the Soul Society any trouble. He is a human ally, keeping hollows in order and disposing of them when necessary."

[Pavel Fedoseev]

"Before I answer your questions, I just have to say that this coffee is SO GOOD! IT'S BETTER THAN ICED COFFEE AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE! Next, you owe the sudden visit to the huge hollow disappearance. You dealt with them rather quickly, but I shouldn't be too surprised. You're the strongest human I've ever met. What I would report with was that it was a human who did it, but he lives in the wilderness and would not cause the Soul Society any trouble. He is a human ally, keeping hollows in order and disposing of them when necessary." the man nodded as he listened to her rejoyce over simple coffee. The heat of the coffee allowed it to be enjoyed when it was cold outside, but Pavel did not drink his, he simply held onto it and listened to what she would report. "Yes. Coffee is most enjoyable warm when the termpartures are cold outside." If Pavel wanted to drink his coffee he would have to move the lower bit of his balaclava so he could drink without having it filtered. After a few seconds of allowing Hotaru to enjoy her coffee in silence Pavel would nod "You have a strong loyalty to your Soul Society. Yes? That is respect that. As said before I seldom meet people from your organization." Pavel continued to say. "some... are interesting." he also added, remembering the interesting Shinigami who named herself Anastasia. Someone who he has mixed feelings for, who gave good advice but is mostly a goofball. After awhile of thinking Pavel remembered something "If I remember correctly. Your Soul Society has various ranks. Yes? I remember one of the Shinigami I met identified themselves as Vice Captain. And from the last time we had spoken you have increased in your power quite a bit. So what other ranks are there? What ranks do you hold among your collegues of Shinigami." the XSG calmly asked.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

She listened intently on what Pavel was saying. She agreed that warm beverages like this one would work better in cold weather. With every sip of coffee, she felt her body warming up. It was a very nice sensation. After a few seconds of silent enjoyment of her hot coffee, Pavel started to talk again, saying that she had strong loyalty to Soul Society. She would like to think she did. He respects that and has very seldom met anyone from there, only saying some are interesting.

She then thought back on the shinigami that she had gotten to know over her short time in Soul Society. She would have to agree with him on that, at least two that she could think of off the top of her head could be considered interesting, if not more. He then said that if he remembered correctly, Soul Society has various ranks and remembers meeting a Vice Captain. He noticed that she had gotten stronger, which she appreciates.

He then asked her what other ranks there are in Soul Society and what rank does she hold among her collegues. "Well since our last meeting, I have gotten stronger, thanks for noticing. I have been able to train and reach an actual seated officer position. How the ranks go are the foot soldiers. Above them are unseated officers. Next in line are the seated officers. Those numbers go from nine to three. I'm now a Third Seat. Above them is Vice Captain. Next in line are the Captains. Next, is the Captain Commander. Whoever is Captain Commander is the Captain of the First Squad and leads all of Soul Society."

[Pavel Fedoseev]

"Well since our last meeting, I have gotten stronger, thanks for noticing. I have been able to train and reach an actual seated officer position. How the ranks go are the foot soldiers. Above them are unseated officers. Next in line are the seated officers. Those numbers go from nine to three. I'm now a Third Seat. Above them is Vice Captain. Next in line are the Captains. Next, is the Captain Commander. Whoever is Captain Commander is the Captain of the First Squad and leads all of Soul Society." The man nodded and continued to listen to what she had to say, she apparently reached a posistion known as Third Seat. Meaning that she was underneath a vice captain who typically lead in the absense of a captain while there is a leader above all captains. This reminded him of his service in the military, he nodded and nodded as he moved a bit of the bottom of his balaclava to drink his coffee before moving it back. "Since we had last spoken it seems we both got our respective promotions." the XSG stared at the the woman before him and pondered something. Her career followed a typical military structure and she said she had gotten stronger, it was true. His energy sensory allowed him to know that she did get stronger. "Tell me... How did you get stronger. And if you ever desire how do you plan on getting stronger?" the man stood up and placed his cup down. "The way that I was trained, the way that I was made stronger through out the years was I was broken down and destroyed. But I was then remade into something stronger." he cracked his knuckles and stared at her through the one way glass. "So tell me... How do you plan on getting stronger." his voice was flat and emotionless, the usual way he spoke to her.

[ooc] sorry. Brain drained

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

She was glad that he also got a promotion within his organization. It was nice that they were both progressing in their respective paths. She started to drink her coffee and think back on what had happened to her. She has seen much and has been luckier than most. Not many have had to go through what she has, but, what she has gone through most people wouldn't have. She was hardier than most.

Then, he asked Hotaru how she planned on getting stronger and how she got this strong. He stood up and put his cup down, telling her how he got strong was getting broken down and destroyed, only to be remade stronger than before. He asked his question again. She sat for a minute and thought about it. "I was fighting and training with people stronger than myself, losing my feet in the process. But, I think training there was a little too slow. I would love to try some new training, say being broken down to be remade into a stronger person?"

[Pavel Fedoseev]

"I was fighting and training with people stronger than myself, losing my feet in the process. But, I think training there was a little too slow. I would love to try some new training, say being broken down to be remade into a stronger person?" At those words Pavel cracked his knuckles and nodded. "There is nothing else to be explained about 'being Broken.' We have all been broken at least once, some by the people we trust, others by the people that are meant to break us. By being broken, the wounds will heal stronger. And we will be able to face the world with a fake smile, or show the world the true monsters that these experiences has created." Pavel calmly said, these words had a heavy meaning to the man. He remembered the things he had to do, the disappointment in his fathers eyes, the eyes of a long life friend he had killed. Yet even with this memories, there was no hesitation, no stopping in his words. They flowed out of his mouth perfectly. 'A man Bred to kill. That is what his life is about. That is the only life he knows.' After a few seconds of silence, Pavel did not erady a stance of any martial arts. Systema was easy to learn because it did not have a set way to do it, most of the time it was professional street fighting. Reacting to the situation and how they attack with brutality and improv. "So come. We start immediately."

Pavel continue to star at the woman before he finally spoke. "The training is simple. You come at me with all the force you have. Fight until neither of us can fight no more. Whether I break your spirit, your emotions, your body. It does not matter. Because when they are broken, I will help put you back together again. Stronger. So when you meet someone that threatens your state of living. You will not hesitate. You will not falter. You will end their lives. As easily as you step on a cockroach."

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Pavel started talking, saying that by being broken, the wounds could heal stronger and you can face the world with a fake smile or show it the true monsters that the experiences have created. It was an interesting outlook on it for sure. He was standing now, getting ready to actually fight. He then said come we start immediately. She then put her cup of coffee down and stood up, standing about five feet away from him.

He stared at her until he started to talk. He said that this training will be simple. She would come at him with all of her force and they will fight till neither of them can fight anymore. It doesn't matter if he breaks her spirit, emotions or body. When they are broken, he will help to put her back together again stronger than she was before. So, when she comes across someone that threatens her state of living, she won't hesitat or falter to end their lives like stepping on a cockroach.

She unsheathed her zanpaktou. She got into her normal stance with her sword out in front of her and her feet shoulder width apart. She stared at him and tried to get bearings on how strong he actually was. But, he was so much stronger than her, she really couldn't tell any limits on the man. It was a little daunting, but she was the one who agreed to do this. So, she had to go full tilt or nothing. She decided to just run in at his front, slashing from right to left along his chest to try to gauge some kind of strength.

[Pavel Fedoseev]

SPOILER: Click to show

As she got closer and closer to the XSG, Pavel also used his speed to get even closer to her, if he did nothing it would directly miss and her arms would collide with Pavel's shoulder. Without giving her a moment to react Pavel would place his arms up as if he was trying to block his face but immediately swung his right elbow into her stomach. At normal situations the force he exerted would be enough to end her life and tear her in half. Just by the air he could have displaced it would have sent energy that would cause her organs to explode, turn bone to dust, kill her then and there. But it did not, by her standard it would feel as if a professional baseball player swung a metal bat into her stomach with all their force. Pavel was holding his strength back by a tremendous amount but it would still cause bad injuries that could be life threatening if not treated. But it did not stop there, the moment his elbow made contact with her stomach he extended his arm and send her backwards even further. He cracked his knuckles again, staring at her through the one way glass goggles as he readied himself again. "Good. No Hesitations. When you get stronger you will know what it is like to have someone's life in your hand. And you will give them the false sense of reality that they can survive before you slam the gates to their fate shut and kill them. Observe."

With his speed he appeared right next to her and wrapped his left arm around the back of her neck. Immediatley he would drive his fist into her stomach, the force would feel the same. A baseball bat driving into her abdomen, he did not do it once, but four times, he did not have to fully pull back his fist in order to deliver a strong punch. Once that was over he shoved her against a tree and leaned in close, his eyes staring into hers. There was no emotion to this training, there was no holding back. As Pavel said earlier, he will break her. He will break her in anyway so she realizes that she must know how to strengthen and use the monsters everyone hides in their soul. In his head he remembered it, his training. The brutal beatings he got in order to perfect his combat skills, the dissapoinement his father always gave when he could not fight to his expectations and the sheer lonliness it brought onto his heart because he did not get the one thing that seemed to matter, his father's approval. He gripped his hands around her throat and began to suffocate her. "Show no fear in the face of death. Show know fears in the eyes of death." as his grip tightened around her neck, it would be around the force that completely cut off any oxygen to her brains and lungs but not snap her neck. What would happen next would attempt to make breathing even harder. Releasing his right hand he immediately backhanded her with even more force. He back handed her five times and suffocated her for thirty seconds. "Do you want to Quit? Do you want to stop! Passout if you do." If she powered through he would immediately loosen his grip and jump a good five feet away from her to allow the woman to catch her breath. "Come. again."

Combat post: 1/8 for Fatigue, 1/14 for severe Fatigue

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

Hotaru ran full force into him, but as she thought, it pretty much didn't work. For her trouble, she got an elbow right into her stomach. She immediately felt the air leave her lungs completely as it felt like a metal bar just got slammed into her. When she felt that pain, she felt herself getting pushed backwards even more. She was barely able to stop herself, but she did. She wasn't too far away from him, but it took her a few seconds to get her breath back.

Damn, that hurt. She heard him crack his knuckles, saying that it was good she had no hesitation. When she would get stronger, he said, she will know what it's like to have someone's life in her hand and to give them a false sense of reality that they can survive before she would slam the gates to their fate shut and kill them. Then, he disappeared right in front of her. She quickly looked around, while raising her sword, to try to find him.

But, it would be too late. He showed up right next to her and before she could do anything, he used his speed to grab the back of her neck with his left hand and punched her in the stomach four times in quick succession. She felt the air leaving her with every hit and the pain just stacking on top of itself with each hit. She could barely get any air in while he did that. Before she could even recover, she pushed her against a tree and leaned in close.

He was staring her right in the eyes. She knew that he probably wouldn't kill her, but that could always be a possibility. She stared straight back at him in the eye, showing no fear. She had worry that she was going to get injuries so severe that she would be crippled for the rest of her life, but she wasn't going to let him see that at all. She had learned much from Sozen, and this just happened to be one of those things.

He told her to show no fear in the face of death or the eyes of death, while he used both hands to grip her neck. She put both of her hands up to try to pull him off. It wasn't working and his grip was getting tighter. She never looked away from his eyes and when she couldn't rip his hands away, she kept her fingers in between her neck and his hands, to give her a little bit of breathing room. She just stared at him, hoping that he wasn't going to kill her.

It was then that she was caught a little by surprise. His right hand moved and before she could move her hands to a different position, he slapped her across the face hard. It jarred her enough that her hands fell back down to her sides. He slapped her five times total. Her eyes were watering and then he used his strength for what seemed like an eternity to choke her. She didn't have the strength to move her arms due to the lack of oxygen to her brain.

He asked her if she wanted to quit, if she wanted to stop and if she did, to just pass out. During the time he was actually suffocating her, her vision was starting to blacken at the edges of her vision. She just continued to stare at him. She assumed that she was dealing with someone that had a Sozen mind set. If she showed fear, he would make it worse. She was going to power through and get this done so she could be even stronger than before.

After what seemed like forever, she continued to hold his gaze and fight back passing out. He then released his grip and jumped five feet away. Once he did that, she took several deep breaths and checked her neck. She swallowed a few times and said a few words out loud to make sure nothing was damaged. Her neck was very tender, but everything else was intact. It was very impressive that he was able to hold back so much power to do this for her.

She then took a deep breath to steady herself. Once he said come again, she immediately started to run at him, sword in front of her. She ran at him like she was going to just stab him in the gut, with both hands on her hilt ready for the motion. But, right before her sword would've touched him, she used Shunpo to move to his right side quickly, hopefully the first attack threw him off. She then went for a downward slash from head to toe.

[Pavel Fedoseev]

As she ran toward Pavel, the woman would not have the oppertunity to get even closer. The moment they were of a few feet, Pavel used his speed to get behind her. With his speed again he tackled her and grabbed her from her neck before raising her up. "A good attempt. But not good enough. Lets take this to the next level. The longer you survive the stronger you will become." With a stronger force Pavel would force his head back and headbutt her stomach again. It was non-vital areas he was hitting. Making sure that the stronger his force does not get too strong and kill her then and there. The force would be stronger than last time, what felt like a bat to the stomach would feel like punches from a pillow compared to the force that Pavel was exerting now. "Lets also up this scenario. Change the way you see me. Change the entire situation. I want you to come at me with killer intent. You are part of an army, yes? Imagine this. I had just killed your entire squad. Tortured them and rip them to shreds. All while you watched. In an act of boldness you demand I fight you one on one. I oblige and here we are. I will begin." with that Pavel punched her side with the same amount of force as his head butt and threw her into a tree. It would not snap her spine but she would be hurt from it if she couldnt avoid the tree. "So... Shinigami. You wanted to challenge me. After I killed all your squadmates? You got some balls." with his acting, Pavel was able to make his voice sound more gravely, with a hint of a cockney accent. He sounded older than he normally did, the tone was very aggressive. It was as if he changed into a whole new person.

"Tink about it. Your entire squad was wiped out on your watch. Every last one a dem died because of you. And you cant avenge them? Pathetic. I thought your army was full of warriors!" Pavel was sure rush to where she landed and kick dirt into her face. If she hadn't moved out of there he would then grab her by the neck and rub her face into the cold hard dirt before delovering another gruesome kick to her side. "Show me what made you strong. Show me what made you have all these men and women fight under your command." he grabbed her by her head and picked her up so that they stared each other in the eyes. "Or is it because you are Weak. And that you didnt deserve this power in the first place." with that he dropped her before grabbing the woman by her shoulders and driving his knee into her stomach. "Fight with Bloodlust! Show me the dog you hide in your heart. Show me your Fire!" While she was bent over Pavel drove another punch into her gut before grabbing her head once more. "If dis was me right now I'd spit in my eye right now." he turned her head to the side, checking her cheek before turning it to the other and finally returned it to where it was in the first place. "These men Died protecting You. And all you can do is get your can kicked by me. You should be ashamed of yourself.." he growled before tossing her to the side.

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

When Hotaru got a few feet away from him, he used his superior speed to get behind her, tackle her and grabbed her by her neck, raising her up off the ground. He was so fast and quick, she couldn't even stop the man. When this first started, she thought she might be able to do something against his attacks, but he was so damn powerful. She just had to endure the pain to make herself that much stronger.

He told her it was a good attempt but not good enough. He wanted to take it to the next level and the longer she survives the stronger she will become. When he said next level, the worst things came to mind. But, she assumed that it would probably be worse than what she was thinking, due to his great strength. He then raised her up more and then started to head butt her in the stomach. The force was much stronger and the wind got knocked out of her.

While she was trying to get her breath back, he was describing a scenario where he had just killed her entire squad, torturing and ripping them to shreds while she watched. Being bold, she demands to fight him one on one, him obliging. But he tells her to attack with killer intent. After he says that, he punches her in the side with the same strength and throws her towards a tree.

She Shunpos out of the way, but just barely. She's breathing hard right now, in a lot of pain from his hits. He then said in a completely different voice, she had some balls for challenging him after killing all her squadmates. She took a deep breath and listened to his voice, imagining a different person. He was much more aggressive than the man she knew, but with his strength. Anyone could gain that strength through the same intense training.

When she looked up again, she actually started to imagine it. She saw dead bodies around her and an elderly man rushing her and kicking dirt into her face, saying she was pathetic for not being able to avenge her squad. It was true. For a shinigami not to be able to do something like this, it made her feel horrible. Before she could get up, he pushed her face into the dirt and then got a kick to her side, with the same amount of force as the others.

She was in an enormous amount of pain. She couldn't really move much, but she felt the guilt and pain from losing a squad and this man was making her feel even worse. Before she could react, he grabbed her by her head, lifting her up so they were eye level. Her eyes had watered from the pain of his attacks. This man told her that she didn't deserve power and that she was weak. He then dropped her and immediately grabbed her shoulders to knee her in the stomach.

The wind got knocked out again, her eyes watering from the pain. When she landed, she was bent over grabbing for her stomach. Then, this man punched her in the stomach, in the same exact spot and grabbed her head again, saying that she needed to fight with bloodlust and show her fire. When she was grabbed again, the man told her that if he was in her position right now he's spit in his eye.

He checked her cheeks again before taking her eye level. He then told her she should be ashamed of herself, since these men died protecting her and she can do nothing but get defeated by him. He tossed her to the side and she landed hard. She was just trying to get her breath back. She slowly was trying to get up, the pain was restricting her a bit. She kept her eyes on this man. She was imagining burning holes in this man's face. She would not get defeated this easily by this scum that has shamed her so.

"BURN RIVU~AIASAN!" She then ran at him while her zanpaktou was changing. When her cannon was done, she immediately shot a continuous stream of her liquid at him. She then Shunpoed to his right and continued with the stream. She did this for the other two sides before landing in the air on an air ground. Next, she swirled her sword and cannon into a cone shape, letting her liquid form the cone. She lit it all on fire and yelled, "Doragonburesu!" She sent the liquid towards him and lit it on fire along the way. She was going to injure this man, by any means necessary.

[Pavel Fedoseev]

She had released her weapon and now this fight was getting serious. This spar became a fight, it was still a fight but he wanted her to fight with all of her power and all of her ferocity. So he would treat this like a spar, while she would treat it like she was actually fighting for her life. She had a cone shape and was firing a sort of liquid at him. But like most projectiles, it took a force stronger than their launch speed to cause them to go in the directions that the user did not want. With his speed and his strength Pavel would flex all of his arm muscles and spread them wide and immediately forced his hands together creating a large force around himself and hopefully spreading the liquid in every direction. Preventing himself from burning from these fires the moment he heard the phrase "Doragonburesu." and for that moment he nodded. The fire would be an interesting element to have, especially in the forest of Moscow. "Dats it!? Fire?! I've seem warmer crap from a can opener." Pavel flexed his muscles again and stomped the ground with his foot. The energy would spread in all directions, sending whatever that was affected by the fire Hotaru caused to go in every outer direction. "Try dis again and come at me with even more force. Or are you too chicken?" with his fast speed he appeared right behind Hotaru and slapped the back of her head, it would not be extremely painful but send a lingering sting on the back of her head and force it to go forward a bit before going to her side and flicking it. Causing the same annoyance, sending the woman's head side ways. Finally the XSG appeared in front of the woman, reaching forward for her nose he punched it with a good amount of force that would cause pain but not rip off her nose. Pulling it in his direction the man would turn her head back and forth before using his free hand to grab onto the arm. With her arm he would raise the arm that gripped onto her arm and immediately throw her downwards. Throwing the woman onto the ground "And quit usin ya cruddy air ground would ya? It will be annoying having to just constantly throw you onto the ground." with that he landed, if she did not move from that posistion he would land with his foot on her left leg, specifically on the back of her left knee and slowly add pressure until she began to scream. "Say 'uncle' and I'll make sure your death will be at least respectable. If not, you join the rest of your gang of do-nothings." he was again, tempting the woman to quit. So far she was strong but his attacks are getting aggressive and she saw him in a different light. How would she react to this now?

[Hotaru Kuchiki-Masurao]

She watched in horror as her liquid got diverted by this man. Hotaru couldn't believe that this was happening. It had never happened before, since most of her opponent's would just avoid her liquid all together. It made her extremely angry. Then, when she sent her technique towards this man, he was able to divert that one as well. It was like she couldn't win against this man. And that was unacceptable.

He then said that her fire wasn't even warm, he had felt warmer from a can opener. He wanted her to try again to come at him but with more force, if she wasn't too chicken. She was almost ready to move but he used his speed to appear behind her and slapped her in the back of the head. The slap definitely hurt, but not too bad. At least not yet. He then moved to the side of her head and flicked, which was annoying.

Then, he appeared in front of her and before she could do anything, he punched her square in the middle of her face. She was dazed and felt her head being turned back and forth before he used the other hand to grab her arm. He raised his arm, actually lifting her a little off her ground before throwing her towards the ground. She tried to move, but felt sore all over. He then told her to stop using that technique, since he would just be constantly throwing her on the ground.

She tried to stand, to even move from that position, but it was difficult. Before she could move, he landed on the ground by landing on her left leg with his foot. He moved it to the back of her left knee and slowly added pressure. He said to say 'uncle' and he would make her death respectable or she would join the rest of her gang of do-nothings. That was it, she couldn't take it anymore. "NEVER!" While he kept adding pressure, she slowly moved her cannon on her left arm. She ejected her special scale and aimed it towards this man. With the needle protruding from the scale, if he was hit by this scale, he would be injected with her liquid and she would cause some great damage.
