Becoming Stronger. (Closed, NDE Training thread, R)

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa nods, "Yes, I actually have something to do with the winds but I do not control them. Nature controls them, my dear." He feels red after she hugs him, and slowly gets up. "If you are ready, then let us begin." he calmly says. He would unsheath Halcon (His sword's name) and grip it with two hands, "Show me Aurora your might, and I shall show you mine. Give it your best!" Masa with his sword straight out at her, glares into her eyes. "Now, it is important to look into your enemy's eyes and their weapon. FOCUS! Do not ever look around, or else I can take this as an advantage. Whenever you are ready, strike!" he would yell, preparing for her to strike at him.

This brief moment things will start to change between the two. Relaxation and calmness vanish, and seriousness arises. It's a feeling Masa loves when he begins training, it takes him back to when he was alive. He absolutely loves it when gets to train not only himself but his friend. He grips the sword very tightly and very secures it in his grip. He would imagine his background as a peaceful field of when he was alive. It made him feel cozy and comfy to be home again...

Winds pick up more in a more violent way around the two, obviously his combat expressions make the winds unsettled and uneasy. The snitch of a small battle rages in the air but will it be serious? Will this be a small training session or maybe even large training session. This will all vary as they go through with it. Winds around continue to swirl around the two as if the winds are keeping the heat off of the two. Things will begin to take root in a great fighting experience (For the purpose of training) not only for Aurora but to warm up Masa as well.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora listened to the Espada. It seemed that he did have some wind control like she assumed. He doesn't have complete wind control, but just influencing the wind was a big talent. She would have to keep her eyes out with him and to keep track of the wind around her. She had never had to face anyone with an elemental control like this. Well, she didn't know the full extent of her Espada's power, so she had no idea if he had elemental power or not.

She watched the Espada's demeanor completely change. Going from calm to serious. He was definitely ready to start to fight. It was definitely an interesting change in the man. From who she's already met, they either are pissy all the time, staying in the same emotion, like she did as well as Sargon, or calm all the time and didn't show any true emotion. This was the first Espada that she's met that actually showed the entire gambit of emotion.

Aurora unsheathed her sword, holding it in both hands. She stared down this new Espada, curious as to see the true extent of his powers. She wasn't sure if she would be able to force the Espada to release to defeat her, but she was curious if she had the power to do so. She should, since she is a high-tiered Espada's Fraccion. She glared at him and rooted her feet. She was ready for a brawl. "After you Espada. It's only fair."

[Masa Kumasaka]

The winds around seem to become calm all the sudden, Masa feels the slowness around him as things get serious. He likes this arrancar and feels they have a lot in common. He would look up at the fraccion because she towers him in height and when she replies to him, he would stare at her for a long moment. A blank and emotionless feeling would come between the two, "Interesting... You wish not to strike first? That's an offensive thing to refuse, however I accept." And the next thing you know he sonidos away. It appears he's using a deadlier sonido technique because this one's different. Sin Sonido it was called, he would quickly appear behind her attempting to slam his right palm into her spine and chanting the words, "Shotgun Bala...." then BANG! Several balas would burst from his palm into the location he desired.

Did this ability miss her? Was she quick enough to evade this? Masa came pretty quick with this but she may have been the chance to avoid this but he would withdrawal after making his offensive approach. He would stare at her as she may or may not have been hit. "I want to see your full potential... Do you have a release yet, my friend?" he would ask with no emotions to spare her. He would glare his hawk eyes at her, not showing any fear to this lower arrancar. He admires that she's a warrior to fight several things but is this something she could handle? Masa will try his hardest to avoid hurting her too much.

(OOC: We should consider this a Cinematic thing really, this is for fun after all.)

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched as she felt the wind move around her. It was calm now, almost like the calm before a storm. She chuckled to herself that the newest Espada had to look up to her. But, honestly, it wasn't something that she wasn't used to. She was tall for a female, so she towered over a lot of people. She smiled her toothy grin towards him, until he said he accepted the first strike. The only reason she wanted him to go first was to see what techniques he actually knew.

He then sonidoed away. So, he was trying to get the jump on her somehow. She figured that there was two ways he could do this. Get her on the side or from behind. Which way didn't matter because when she felt him appear, she disappeared with Sonido, appearing a few feet away from him and to his right. She watched something called Shotgun Bala explode from his hand and she had to whistle to herself. It was a very powerful attack. She definitely needed to learn that skill.

He then looked towards her and asked if she knew a release yet. "Of course I know my release! I'm a Fraccion. It would be a disgrace if I didn't know my release before gaining the Fraccion position. But, if you want to see my full potential, you may. Destroy, Tigre ácido!" Her sword exploded into acid and she roared, letting acid loose from her body. It started to drip, coating her in her acid armor, appearing black.

She gained her gauntlets and new knives in this form, while the skull completely formed to be her helmet. She grabbed her knives, extending her right arm in front of her and at a diagonal, going to her left shoulder. She glared at the man before she used Sonido to disappear. When she reappeared, she would be at the Espada's right side. Right when she would appear, she would start to slash at the Espada from left to right. She hoped that she would hit him.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa was surprised with the fraccion stated that she had a release and for her to suddenly release it when asked made him even more shocked. Sometimes, other fraccions hate other Espadas because they are loyal just to their Espadas. Masa never really liked the fraccion ideas but it was a surprise she would listen to him. He would remain emotionless however as she releases her power. The appearance seems to be an offensive approach, but that's okay. Why have a power that's beautiful when you need it for war? Who the hell knows...

Masa would then suddenly notice she would go into a Sonido. He knew this would come so he awaits patiently for this strike to happen. It would be so quick, from his right side slashes would cut through his vest and carefully into his skin. Hierro counters MOST of the effects leaving the cuts to be like larger paper cuts. It was honestly not the most painful feeling in a fight but it stings. He would quickly turn around with 200 speed after she strikes and lifts his palm up then charging a deadly bomb within his hand made of pure energy, "Cero..." before a large Cero emits from his hollow hole's palm. The cero would come so quick as any cero would. She could have time to dodge that but it'd be difficult. The orange cero looked amazing for it's color but even the beauty with it can cause devastation.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora sonidoed and appeared to the right of the Espada. She was surprised that the Espada let the attack hit her, but then she remembered Hierro. She had forgotten about that skill. She doesn't have it, so she does tend to forget that all of the Espada have it. She watched as her knife was able to cut the Espada, but it didn't go very deep. So, she now knew that she didn't have the strength to cut the Hierro of an Espada. She would need to change that.

She was surprised that he let the slash happen, but she started to charge a cero in her left hand. She felt the charge of reiatsu in him and right after she finished her attack, she sonido'ed away from him, to appear a few feet away from him and behind him. So, she missed his cero. She yelled, "CERO!" She pointed her hand towards him and fired off a cero of her own. This one was orange in color as well. She hoped that it would at least catch him off guard.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa would suspect that he'd miss so he would shrug it off. It was getting intense fight happening, even for him but it wasn't tough. It was fun for him, he'd notice the cero coming but didn't expect it until it was almost too late. As soon as she launches the cero he quickly sonidos out just in time before it would hit him. He would appear in front of her after this and make a sharp swing towards her shoulder. It'd be possible to block but with her little blades it may be hard. She's towering him easily but he's far superior. He doesn't want the fight going too intense to the point of her getting to a maddening hate towards him. He would hold in his attack even if she blocks speaking to her, "Do you like... Fighting Fraccion?" he would faintly say because the both would collide. He'd keep this held in, "If you really want me to show you my true I can show you it, but it may be too dangerous for you..." he would calmly say, offering to show off his power but it could be risky.

He would remain emotionless but his tone seems caring to her hopefully. He wants to give her a fight that's worth fighting that's a challenge but have fun with it. He would stare at her in the eyes, hopefully answering without striking just yet. He'd love to show her his maximum power level, but it may be just too dangerous for her to fight. Masa's release would certainly inflict the fight heavily to his favor but he surely wants her to have a chance. He can only be hopeful in her choice that she chooses carefully.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched as her cero missed him by a very narrow margin. She wasn't really surprised that she missed, but she hoped that it would've at least nicked him. But, it made no difference to her at this point. This was an interesting fight, to be sure. She kept her senses sharp, since he had sonido'ed away again. With the extra speed, she knew that she wouldn't be able to see him until it could be too late. He then appeared right in front of her. She only made maybe a second to do something.

She held tight to her knives and ducked down quickly, to avoid his swing. Right when he made the swing, she would use her speed to uppercut him, using the knives to help deal extra damage. She quickly backed out of being close quarters when he asked if she liked fighting. He then offered to show his release. They say curiosity killed the cat and it could easily kill this cat. "First off, of course I like fighting! Arrancar got this way through fighting and that is the only way to stay on top. I would love to see your release. I want to test my strength."

[Masa Kumasaka]

(OOC: Luckily, I won't have Soul Specialist for this... XD)

Masa would get himself into the spot of being hit so quickly that it surprised himself. She would just slice his chest vest off as he leans his back back to avoid this uppercut. Instead it would just slice his vest right off, his muscles being shown with his tattoo. Masa isn't the strongest looking type but he certainly tries to keep his body in shape. He would slowly take his mask off, throwing it down so slowly. He'd look softly and mellow into her eyes with his blank expression. Obviously, this is it here. "Aurora, sometimes, fight isn't something to like. If I release this ability, I won't be the 'nice' Masa you will know. As an Espada, I've gone through enough in my lifetime to earn the title Noveno. I may not be the strongest Espada but I have something that all the arrancars of our kind that don't have..." He would grip his sword tight and bring it close to his nose, dividing his face with this blade.

"Adrenaline Rush, Halcón!" would be this mighty chant then suddenly a giant release of power would be felt in the air. Orange energy would flow around to cover Masa, making his appearances mysterious until finally the smoke of orange clears up... A taller figure that's 7'1 with a fearsome look, it looks as if a Hawk is a humanoid with human arms. This hawk had samurai armor all equipped head down, expect his feet remaining his nature talons. He also gains the ability to fly from his sharp bird-like wings. He can look beautiful to some, but fearful to others. The winds all around feel violent, with sands being picked up all around. This gave Masa his strongest advantage, the winds. His No-Dachi Katana would tower at a five feet. Obviously, this makes Masa a completely new breed of Espadas. One that uses not just ceroes or other arrancar techniques but an element. This samurai warrior will not bare any mercy.

(OOC: For more details on his appearances, go ahead and read Masa's App.)

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora listened to the Espada. He would have his own opinion on what she liked but when he said he wouldn't be the 'nice' Masa. It was that little part of the statement alone that had her intrigued. She had run into another Arrancar that had changed when he was in the heat of a fight. That fight ended very interesting for him, since she kissed him hard and then cero'd him in the face. It was funny when she thought about it, but it would be interesting to see something like that again.

She stood her ground and watched the Espada release. This was the first release she's seen out of all the Espada. She hadn't even seen her own Esapda's release yet. After he was done, he looked like a literal bird man with samurai armor and a huge sword. It was an interesting release to be sure. She felt the wind move faster around them. She glared the Espada down, thinking of what she could do against him. There was one she could think of immediately. "Tigre Prisas!" She started to run towards him, molding her acid to look like a tiger running towards him.

[Masa Kumasaka]

(OOC: I forgot to mention he gains wings! Added in the last post I posted)

Masa gripped his No-dachi blade tight. This arrancar gets the courage to attack a released Espada. Damn, that's pretty good but he's gonna shut that down quick. "Aliado de los Vientos..." would be just beginning of the confusion. The winds would come close to him, wrapping around Masa tightly along with the winds all around. His body begins to get cloaked so sudden that when comes she close, there's nothing there. Fear and thick winds roam the air, this is something that is truly unique. As a matter of fact, this is the first time he's ever shown his release to anymore. He travels with the winds that surround Aurora, he could literally be anywhere but his steps could be heard. Could he be behind her? Could he be in front of her? This would be hard to tell since the winds would erupt around, making loud noises.

"You know, you're actually the first to see my release? You should feel honored, especially from an Espada." he would say to her. From how it sounds, it sounds like he's moving as he's talking, keeping himself at a pace. "If you ever come into this situations, you have two choices. One you could listen very carefully and determine whether to dodge at a certain area or you can take the alternate way, DEFEAT!!!" His tone sounds so violent and harsh, a quick rush in and he'd attack from her side, slashing into her side. Determining this direction was hard because he literally sounds like he's everywhere with the winds. This attack would cut into her side if successful but not cause too much damage.

Masa is completely different. Much like what he's heard from Aurora, Masa changes his feelings when getting into too much combat. It isn't the nice Masa indeed. It was a more violent Masa. The feeling of pressure from the intensity rises as this cloaked predator becomes far superior in his side. Was this even a sane arrancar or a hollow being released back? This is hard to tell. "I am the predator, you are the prey. Can you hunt the hunter?" Masa would say, taunting his opponent that's blind against him.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora was running into the Espada with her attack. She figured that the man wouldn't move, but what happened next was bordering on the incredible. Though, the way that the spiritual beings lived, she wasn't surprised that it would seem incredible. She watched the winds surround the Espada and by the time she reached where he was standing, he was gone. She figured that he was able to blend in with the wind and was able to move out of the way quickly.

She then stopped and held her arms in a cross in front of her, blades out. This way, her front would be protected and she could quickly strike out if he attacked from the front or side. She kept herself steady. No predator would cower in front of another. He then told her that she was the first to see his true power and that she should be honored. It didn't matter that much to her at the time. He then tried to give her advice on how to fight in this situation.

It was to dodge or be defeated. She would not be defeated so easily. Or, if she would get defeated, she would not make it an easy won victory. She was listening to the sounds around her to try to figure out where he would strike. She tried to pick out where he could be coming from, since there was so much movement around her. She thought she felt a spike, so she lashed out to the front and sides with a movement that looked like the infinity symbol. She still felt a cut, but she hope that she nicked him.

She could tell that something was different, but she wasn't going to let that get to her. She started to slowly spin around inside the wind, letting her acid leak out more, collecting more acid around her. She then heard him say that he was the predator and she was the prey. She chuckled, while spinning faster and faster, creating her own tornado of acid inside the winds. "You are mistaken, Espada. I AM THE PREDATOR! Tornado ácido!" She was curious how this technique would work against the Espada's winds.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa chuckles as the cut makes it to her. Luckily, as she attempts to make her strike, it goes against his thick armor shoulders. He would halt quickly as she begins another big move. Oh... Easy! The time to prepare the finisher of this all. Masa would bring his blade close to him, he would silently chant his sword's request, "Violencia..." with a sudden boom of spiritual pressure in the air. The tornado should suddenly be consumed by the deadly winds. As the winds penetrate through the harsh tornado, the winds slam Aurora out and throw her into the sands. Her strength cannot truly handle the amount of pressure from these powerful winds. They would force her to slide on the sands with so much wind pressure pushing against her.

Masa would quickly screech like a hawk as this occurs, jumping on top of her. His winds aid his landing by forcing a powerful blow onto her. He would then slide the tip of his sword between her breasts. The talons lock into her shoulders for any movement could lock his talons into her flesh. He would simply chuckle and bring the tip to her chin. "I'm afraid Aurora, you have lost. A good fight, my dear friend... However, this wasn't a fair fight at all for you." he would continue to say. He obviously doesn't want the fighting to go on much further because it'd cause him to get worse with his power. The winds around create a sandstorm, making this a horrific scene that only doesn't effect the two. Violencia is certainly the type of ability that is good against others casting their techniques or anything of that nature.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora felt the spiritual pressure build up around her while she was making her tornado. She figured that she might be able to deal with it, but she wasn't able to fully deal with it. She heard him say a word and then she felt the winds outside of her tornado go crazy. It was then when she was going to hit the Espada with the full force of her tornado, she felt it falter. It seemed that the winds of the Espada had penetrated into her tornado.

The next thing she felt was all the strikes from the wind that hit her, ruining her concentration and her tornado dissipated. The force of the wind pushed her out of the area, throwing her at least three feet away, if not more. She was fighting as hard as she could against the wind. She just wasn't strong enough to fight against it. She heard the screech and the hawk was upon her in seconds. The talons dug into her shoulders and he put his sword between her breasts.

She also stopped breathing as he moved it up to her chin. She had no idea what she was feeling right now. Lust would probably be the best thing she could think of. She had fought many opponents before, but never had she seen this much strength being used against her. She always respected power in others and this was the strongest person she had fought, her Espada not counting. It was an interesting feeling to say the least.

She looked up at him through her eyelashes. "Yes, the fight is obviously over. I wanted to see the full strength of an Espada. But, I am still the predator and you are the prey. In more ways than one." She would wink at him and not fight back, hoping that he would release her from his grip soon. Either that or she might do something that she might regret. Though, honestly, she didn't regret anything that she's done and doubted she would regret it now.

[Masa Kumasaka]

Masa would begin to laugh suddenly, before letting his weapon hang with one hand, he'd gently fly off of her and land beside her, he'd grip his sword tightly as possible and even extend his other hand out to pick her up. This tall hawk humanoid does have a bright side, he's become the ultimate predator but he's shown his release to another's Fraccion... He isn't too sure whether this was a good idea or not but if she'd accept his hand he'd pull her up, towering a foot taller then her.

Masa would look down at the fraccion, resting a hand on her shoulder. "You fought well, but against an Espada you are nothing... When you become stronger, I will fight you again. I'm guessing your Espada trains you a lot?" he'd ask in curiosity. Obviously, he's interested now in meeting the Espada that's in charge of this fraccion. He would look into her, actually scanning her body's senses because a hawk can sense greatly in others. He can't tell how she feels but he can read off her body's heat and such.
