[Kiera Bright]

Keira's two long reiatsu arms drug the body of a low level shinigami behind her. These shinigami have been coming by at an increasing frequently. Normally she tried to not kill any of them, making the assumption that only more would come, and in greater strength, if they knew that she was able to kill them. This time it could not have been helped. He kept spewing some nonsense that she was going to be the destruction of Karakura town, and needed to be destroyed before it was too late. To be fair she heard it before, but she was merciful, but this time. He had caught her at the wrong time. She was already pissed off from a failed experiment and he was a convineint punching bag.

She let her bad mood get the better of her this time. He was dead, and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. Well she would not let his body go to waste. She was a woman of science after all. It didn't matter if those others thought that she was mad. She would make use of the body. She had not gotten the chance to delve into the practice of bio-engineering yet, or really spent any time examining a shinigami's body. This would be able to satisfy multiple interests at once. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. She dragged the body deep into the interior of the decaying asylum. She kept her biological interests in the west wing of the asylum. 

She threw him onto an examination table while she was going through some draws to find some tools. She growled in irritation making a mental note that she needed to find a way of being more organized. Sure it was true that a cluttered desk was a sign of genius, but this was getting ridiculous, plus being in a crumbling building was not making things any easier. She shrugged as she continued to look. She had no where to go, and she would be damned if she went crawling to anyone to beg for a place to stay. No she was far too proud for something like that. She would make do with what she was given. It wasn't all bad. At least she had her privacy for the most part. 

Her pale hands stopped dead where they were when she felt someone nearby. She tensed her muscled as her brow furrowed. There was someone else was approaching the asylum. Why does everything from hollows to shinigami, to god knows what else, keep finding her and interrupting her! She closed the drawer after removing her hands, and made her way though the decrepit halls to intercept her target at the main entrance. She didn't know who it was, her senses were not honed enough yet to tell her that, but it did not matter. She would repel the invader like she did all the others. The two hands that were with her since fighting the shinigami flanked her on each side. 

The fifteen foot, purplish, black arms would move with her like two trained guards. They have been her only company since she had been abandoned in this wretched asylum. It was thanks to them that she was able to make due with her surroundings, and proceed with her experiments in safety despite her condition. Her short, dirty, white dress brushed against her thighs lightly dimly illuminated by the glow of the moon and the glow of her body. Her pink eyes also glowed a bright pink light. Her hair fell loosly around her head stopping at her collar bone. Part of it was pulled in a side pony tail resting around the same length. Her eyes glared angrily ready for whoever came.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Izanami at the moment was sitting in that same black car that Yumi almost always had when she was bringing Izanami on an assignment. It was in the middle of the night this time which was rather strange. Izanami had began to think more freely over the last week something that she was continuing to hide from everyone including Yumi. It wasn't something easy to pull off and in all actuality she didn't know whether or not Yumi could tell. Izanami didn't understand most of what she was feeling when emotions did happen to flow into her. She knew some of them, but not most and controlling herself was soemthing that only took a moment.

What left her normally confused was the simple fact that she was having dreams like a normal person. However, the dreams were always the same. She would be floating throughout that dark endless space like normal when suddenly everything would change. She'd be back in that pond again inside the forest of pine trees. She would look around and see what appeared to be a younger version of herself starring at her with a devilish grin. The dreams would onmly ever last another few moments until that younger version ended up slaughtering her in an instant.

Izanami just continued to have this dream over and over and waking up covered in sweat. It was starting to cause problems and it wouldn't be long until Yumi or one of the other members of Xcution found out. She wasn't suppose to have emotion she wasn't suppose to be able to feel anything. She was a weapon and nothing else. That's the way that she had always been and the only way that Xcution wanted her. She needed to stay that way in order to get what she actually wanted. It was true that everything Yumi did was in order to make her more powerful so she just had to play off being the emotionless weapon she had always been until she didn't need to become more powerful.

Izanami just sat there in the car like normal with an emotionless expression across her face as she sat straight up looking towards Yumi. Yumi herself was just sitting in the car reading what appeared to be nothing more then sheets of paper inside of a folder. Izanami knew that the sheets were more than likely nothing more than information on Izanami herself. She had been put up against multiple shinigami already and proven her worht by defeating them in combat. Most of them had gotten away in the end by executing shunpo in order to get away from her. However, they hadn't left uninjured while Izanami normally suffered less than them.

She didn't know what she was going up against this time. All she knew was that since Yumi was the one taking her out she would be put up against something in order to harden her and make her more powerful. That was when the car suddenly stopped and Yumi put down the folder that was containing the sheets of paper. "Alright Midori. This time you're going to be facing a spiritual creature known as a Failure. I've recieved intelligance that it has been using this asylum to hide out. She just managed to kill a shinigami that you were going to face. So it seems she is the better foe for you to defeat." Yumi then waved her hand towards the door and Izanami made her way out of the car.

Opening the door and stepping out of the car Izanami would reveal herself to the pink haired entity that was now making its way out of the front door. Izanami could sense the reiatsu of the creature. She didn't know what a failure was, but whatever it was she could sense the reiatsu of every race that she had ever encountered in it. She just starred at the girl for a moment with her emotionless gaze. Closing the door Izanami then started to walk closer getting within thirty feet of her when she stopped. She could make out what seemed to be some dark colored reiatsu behind the girl, but it was to dark to actually make out what it was that she had.

"By the order of X Izanami Midorikawa has been deployed." She spoke with no emotion as if she lacked what it meant to be human. She would then bring her right hand up to her throat and in the next moment the dog tags that were hidden around her neck behind her cloak were pulled off the chain. Izanami then called on her Fullbring materializing the form of it without it's powers. The massive claymore was now in her grasp and Izanami was ready for whatever this Failure had ready for her. The problem though was that Izanami didn't know anything about her other than there was something the girl was already doing that she couldn't make out at this distance.

[Kiera Bright]

Keria was bit surprised that whoever was trespassing was arriving by car. She had to wonder if the occupants even knew if she was still occupying the asylum or not. She watched with keen eyes as the black car came up. Keira uppon closer inspection could sense two people in the car. She concluded that one must have been the driver, and the passenger was going to be her opponent. She crossed her slender, dirty arms across her small chest watching intently as the car started to slow it's approach. When the car came to a stop, Keria narrowed her bright pink eyes. She wanted to see who would dare have the nerve to interrupt her. 

It was suffice to say that Keira was a bit surprised to see a girl about her age, in appearance, step out of the vehicle. Keira made a note of the girl's appearance quickly. She saw the clean cut of her light blond hair comparing it to the uneven, choppy nature of her own dark pink hair. The woman showed no emotion on her face. Keira couldn't make anything out about how prepared she was for Keira's presence. She could only assume that she came here knowing that she would have to fight Keira. Keira's light pink eyes met Izanami's silver eyes before Keira started to take note of her body. She wasn't checking her out in the sence one would find someone attractive, she was seeing that they seemed similar in body type with Keira being the taller of the two. 

The thing that the two girls contrasted the most in was their fashion. The girl before her wore a lot of black leather. Not only on her body, but also on most of her arms and legs. This defiantly contrasted with Keira, who only wore a simple, ragged, dirty, white dress. Keira didn't see any kind of jewelry on the other girl. The only accessory being the cape and hood that the silver haired woman wore. Keira had a silver armlet with a sapphire in it on her right arm. With Keira's observations done. She was concluded that the woman before her was human enough. She didn't seem like any kind of shinigami. She didn't wear the right clothes, and what shinigami rode in a car?

Keria watched her with minimal interest as she approached stopped when only thirty feet separated them. With the combined 5 meter radius that her flood has influence over, and the fifteen feet length of her flood arms, she was sure that she was able to reach the girl with some room to spare. The girl didn't seem to react to the arms beside her. She didn't know if that was because of her stoic expression, or the fact that it was dark enough that she couldn't see them properly. Either case, Keira would proceed with caution. "By the order of X Izanami Midorikawa has been deployed." She heard the woman speak in her monotone which made the mad scientists eyes roll. 

Something of interest did happen after that. Keira watched felt the woman start to release her fullbring. Keira knew exactly what she was now. The woman before her was a fullbringer. Keira smiled a little while coming to this conclusion. Before the accident that had caused her reiatsu to become unstable, she was once a fullbringer as well. She was fully ware of the abilities that one possessed. Her father was also one. Her father taught her himself how to utilize the fullbring and defend herself against hollows, or anything else that would seek to do her harm. Luckily for her at the time, she only had to contend with the occasional hollow. 

The pink haired scientist watched as the dog tags that the soldier had around her neck turned into a giant claymore before her eyes. Well this might just prove interesting, Keira thought with a smirk. She put her arms to her side before bringing her right hand up pointing to the intruder. "I do not care who you are, and by who's orders you are here, but I will not suffer this intrusion. I will give you one chance, and one chance only to return to your vehicle and never return to this asylum of knowledge." Keira made her demands simple in case the woman only had the brains of a soldier. Leave or suffer the consequences. It seemed simple enough.

Keria would summon one more hand directly under her. It would hold her in it's palm. Its fingers curled at a ninety degree angle to act as a throne of sorts. Keira sat comfortably seeming to hover a couple of feet above the ground looking down at woman from her elevated position thanks to the hand, as well as the ruined steps leading to the entrance of the asylum. Keira rested her head and back against the fingers of the flood arm waiting for the woman to respond. If she left, she would allow them both to leave without further incident. If she insisted on fighting. Then Keira would be more than happy to have another body to experiment on. 

3rd Flood Arm -25 675/750

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Izanami stood there standing roughly thirty feet from the position that the pink haired Failure was currently stationed. Izanami had already materialized the form of her Fullbring the massive claymore in her right hand was something that for one reason or another brought comfort. She hadn't even realized it until recently, but when she held it she found it easier to remain calm. It didn't make any logical sense at all and she knew that. The only reason that such a thing even really could be said to happen would be the fact that it was hers and no one else's. Something that she had always had and been trained to use throughout her life as an extension of herself.

She was nothing more than a human weapon to be used by Satsujun when her power truly became that to be feared. The Fullbring in her grasp right now was nothing more than an extension of that weapon and that was what Xcution wanted. It was what they had been getting throughout her life and what they hoped to continue receiving. However, Izanami had started to feel things that didn't make sense to her due to her lack of experience. That made all of their plans unravel while none of them knew a thing. At least that's what Izanami actually hoped for not what she knew to be fact.

Back to the Failure though. Izanami's silver eyes scanned the form of the entity searching through everything for details on what she could use to gain the upper hand against her. All that she really could see though was that the girl was taller than her and had longish pink hair along with eyes of the same color that were starring at her and surveying her the same as she did her. It seemed that both of them weren't inexperienced when it came to looking over the soon to be foe. This spoke volumes to whether or not this battle that was about to ensue was going to be an easy victory or one of struggle and survival and it seemed that the latter might be the likely outcome for either or these girls.

Izanami did take note of the clothing that the Failure was wearing though. It seemed to be a white dress that would more then likely limit her ability to move at high speeds. She didn't know anything about Failures, but it was better to assume that she had the ability to execute some sort of step technique. Shinigami, Quincy, Fullbringers all of them were alike. All of them had some way to increase the speed with which they could move for brief moments. Almost every race in existence to her knowledge had some way of doing exactly that so it would be foolish to assume that this Failure couldn't at some point.

That was when Izanami sensed the reiatsu of the Failure spike. It was only a tiny increase though something so small that she might have overlooked it if she hadn't been actively sensing the reiatsu of the Failure in order to judge her more accurately. That was when she saw that the girl was raising herself off of the ground somehow. The silver eyes of the human weapon looked down at her feet and could see what appeared to be a large hand holding her feet up off of the ground. The hand had pointed fingers though much like that of a beast and that's when Izanami made the connection of what she had seen behind the girl.

It seemed that this Failure whatever she was had the ability to form her reiatsu into what appeared to be arms. Izanami in truth had no idea as to the limits of what this Failure could do with such an ability. The possibilities were certainly against her right now. It seemed that the Failure had greater range and more weapons if her arms could be used as such which seemed to be a fact at this point. Izanami could tell that she was currently using three of them, but there was no way to tell if she could create and sustain more of them at once. She didn't know if they could be increased in shape and size or if they were simply this big.

She had to do something though that much was for certain and she didn't like the idea of giving this Failure the first strike. Right now Izanami though was actually strangely enough wishing that she had already learned the Brighter Light technique in order to get in close. She hadn't been instructor properly in how to execute the technique due to the fear that her instructor had towards her. Right now that might very well be her undoing. That's why Izanami had to try out how well this Failure was at using her strange ability to create reiatsu arms. Suddenly Izanami's reiatsu would spike and her silver eyes would change to a dark gold.

The veins around her face became thick and visible under her skin as her teeth became edged and the emotionless beauty turned into what appeared as nothing more than a monster in human shape. Turning towards the car that was actually behind her though Izanami placed her left hand on the surface of it while she looked. It was then that she pulled her hand away and a long section of the car seemed to remove itself from the body. The black metal of the car became more refined after a moment taking the form of a makeshift long sword that ended in a point. The sword was incredibly thin being less then an inch around while it's length was five feet.

Izanami then brought her left hand forward throwing the new black sword towards the Failure aimed almost perfectly to travel the distance between the both of them and strike her directly in her stomach. Izanami wasn't going to make that her only action though. Just as she had thrown the new sword made of the metal that composed the cars surface she had thrown her Fullbring up into the air. The angle that she threw it though was not straight up instead it was one that would have the large claymore strike the ground behind the Failure in roughly ten seconds. In that time though she would be without a weapon as her eyes returned to silver and she watched the actions of the Failure.

[Kiera Bright]

Keira watched the woman before her stand un-moving despite her warning. Keira sighed crossing her arms again. Why was it that people always insist on doing things the hard way? Keira asked her self as she shook her head. There was a few times where she was able to drive off would be intruders with just her intimidation alone, but an increasing amount of individuals have been arriving like they own the place. They gave her the respect she was due, for the most part. She would fight to defend her work, and her privacy against anyone that would seek to take anything from her. She would sooner see it all go with her than have it completed by someone else. 

Keira had always been very protective of her work even before she had become a failure. Though all it takes is once, one time she was not looking closely enough it was sabotaged. The resulting explosion would have killed her if it were not for her former fullbringer powers even then it wasn't enough. The damage had been done. She her power was not completely out of her control. To the point where her entire being was at risk. Now she is on constant guard against anyone that would wish to steal, or tamper with her work. She will not let a repeat of what happened happen again. The next time she knows that she will not survive it. 

When the girl turned away from her slightly, Keira was brought back to reality watching her closely to see what she was up to. It seemed that she was trying to do something with the car. After a little bit of watching, Keira understood that she was making another sword. Was she going to try and duel wield against her. That would only work if Keira let her get close enough to use them. Keira noted that the sword would contrast vastly with her fullbring. The sword she made was a long sword compared to her large claymore. It was lighter, and most likely weaker overall. What was she up to. Keria narrowed her eyes watching the girl closely. 

She saw the position the girl was taking, and the movement of her arm was not one to charge or guard. She was going to throw the long sword at her. Keira smiling slightly. It would take more than that to pull the wool over her keen eyes. She watched as make shift blade came flying at her. She was able to calculate how fast it was going, and predicted where it would be with enough time to summon another hand to bash it away sending it clanging across the courtyard. She saw that not only did she threw her long sword, that the fullbring has also thrown her claymore as well. Keira was not sure what she was up to. Maybe she though that she would back into the path of the second blade when avoiding the first. 

Keira stayed where she was and let the sword embed itself into the concrete behind her. She showed no fear herself. She had nothing to fear. While the second sword was falling, Keria would summon two more flood arms right at the edge of her range and extending out. The left hand would try to claw at her legs. With her movement crippled, she would be at a severe disadvantage with no weapon and limited maneuverability. The second hand's objective was different. It was going to try and grab the woman any way it could. If it could grab her, it would then smash itself palm first into the ground crushing the woman between itself and the ground. 

6th flood arm -75 600/750

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Izanami threw the freshly crafted long sword towards the pink haired Failure and from that point onwards she watched the motions of the girl. She needed to know everything about this girl's power in order to properly gauge how to proceed and how best to combat her. Izanami hadn't ever fought against a Failure and didn't know anything about what type of power they could use with their reiatsu so right now she was almost fighting blind against this girl.

That wasn't the way to stay alive when it came to combat nor was it a way to claim victory. The first steps in victory are to understand who you're fighting and understand how they plan to beat you. She knew only a small amount of information when it came to this girl. All she had seen so far was that her reiatsu was a dark color which would aid her better than Izanami due to current rotation of the planet. Other than that all she had seen was the outline of hands and arms with claws.

Izanami didn't have any kind of idea whether or not this girl was only limited to creating such things. For the time being she was watching and testing to see if the girl could even counter a thrown weapon. The chances were that she could and she was ready for the attack however Izanami was hoping to gain some kind of insight on to how this girl's power worked better. She had to gain more information as she threw her Fullbring over the Failure's figure. Her silver eyes watched carefully over the next moment.

Things seemed to melt together in that next fraction of a second. The long sword that Izanami had crafted was deflected to the side by another dark purple arm of reiatsu that the girl seemed to manifest from thin air. "How far can she reach?" passed through her mind as the sound of the metal clashed against the reiatsu and then the cement ground. At the same time though Izanami could make out the sound of her Fullbring piercing into the cement ground. The Failure didn't make any move in that direction so her first plan didn't go the way she wanted.

She did learn that the girl could create these reiatsu arms mentally it seemed since she didn't say anything or make a motion with either of her arms. Izanami in truth could have missed something moving such as her nose or her blinking her eyes, but it was more likely that she could do so mentally. She also didn't seem to need to attach these reiatsu arms to one another or herself as this one was in the air and Izanami couldn't see a connection.

She then felt a sudden rise in the reiatsu of the Failure once again just as she had been sensing and knew something was about to happen. Each time she had sensed her reiatsu increase by this much she had seen another arm a moment or two later. So this mean that the Failure was more than likely going to try and attack her. Izanami didn't have a chance right now to take risks so it was time to be as defense as she could. That's why in that moment Izanami called on the soul of the cement under her feet and jumped up into the air.

She managed to get a total of ten feet up off the ground in an instant thanks to the soul of the cement. As she did that though the hand of the Failure struck. Izanami was out of range for the majority of what the Failure tried however she didn't get away without being touched. She descended behind the car now and when she did Izanami looked herself over for a moment. She didn't feel any pain, but noticed she had only just escaped a harsh possibility.

Her cloak was slashed up by the claws that the reiatsu hands seemed to have and she was lucky. Now she knew that the girl had greater range then she was letting on. However, if she could actually still attack her from this position was unclear. She had to do something though now or else she'd lose an opportunity. Her eyes turning gold once again along with the distortions of her beautiful face. She placed her hands on the side of the car and once again crafted two long swords from the metal.

Two identical swords to the first one that she had crafted were now at her disposal. Izanami unclipped her cloak removing it from her shoulders. It would only get in the way during this confrontation. She had a plan and needed to do it perfectly. Izanami suddenly threw one of the swords over the car towards the direction that the Failure had been standing it. The sword would descend downwards almost right on the Failure. It wouldn't hit her, but she would more than likely not be able to tell that and would rather defend against it.

Just after she threw the sword she tossed her cloak to the right displaying it on the side of the car. The Failure would more then likely see it out of the corner of her eye and grab her attention. She would for even a fraction of a moment believe that Izanami was in that location. At that point Izanami would jump into the air again reaching ten feet thanks to the soul of the cement again. At that point her plan would go into full action as she threw the second sword towards the Failure in the hopes that everything distracted her and this one would pierce through her chest.

Remaining Reiatsu: 990/1140

[Kiera Bright]

Keira would have been very disappointed if that simple tactic was enough to defeat her. As much as Keira would like to get back to her experiments, she sees any fight as a way to gain new information about not only the individual that she was fighting, but she could gain a little insight about what is going on in the outside world. So this Xcution was going around thinking that it is the big cheese huh? She thought watching the arms go on the attack. Just from what she has seen from this girl, it appears that they seem to be quite professional about how they do their operations. Keira thought that maybe she should stop by and see what their facilities are like. 

The flood arms slashed at the woman only to nick her cape. She was resourceful. Keira had to give her that. She used the cement to raise herself up over the attack. When the innitial attack missed, the arms tried to rise up quickly to catch her, but she slipped by them and hid behind the car. Keira couldn't help but laugh to herself. Did the woman think that Keira could stay in one place, and let her plan her next attack. She had much to learn about thinking quickly. As the girl hid behind the car, Keira was already advancing quickly, at speeds of 200, thanks to her arm that she was riding. SHe was going to keep the pressure on the girl. 

Keira didn't know the girl well of course, but with the information that she knew already, she deduced that she would try to use part of the car to attack her again. Without the claymore she may make more swords than just one. She would have to be careful about that. Keira did have a habit of getting a little over zealous at times when she senses that she has an advantage. It seemed that the only plan the girl had was to throw swords at her. Though it might have been a slight surprise to Keira the first time, sneak attacks like that only work once. She will be ready for such things next time. Keira kept her focus on the car more specifically a bit behind it.

She quickly got to where she would be able to summon a flood arm behind the car and the girl. She did summon one, and it would slash from side to side trying to claw at her body. Keria predicted that she would again try to take to the air to avoid it. She moved two arms low to the ground, so that she wouldn't see them. Those two would hide right on Keira's side of the vehicle ready to shoot up and catch her if she were to come over the top. They would rise with her slashing at her when the time came. That still left three arms left, not including the one that Keira was riding on. They would form a defensive wall around her. Even if she threw something at her, Keira would easily swat it away.    


7th Flood Arm -25 575/750

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Her eyes darken golden and the veins of her face twitching to all that could see her behind the body of the black car. Izanami's hands pressed to the surface of the black metal as she concentrated on the metal within her grasp. Using her ability to manipulate metal wasn't something that she had fully grasp yet and in truth hadn't allowed many to even have knowledge of. It had been one of the very few things that she had been trying to keep a secret for one reason or another. Now though she had been forced to rely on it against this Failure. Yumi without a doubt would have seen the first display of the power and would now be sensing it once again.

Izanami was in serious trouble and she knew it now that she was beginning to grasp the actual power and limitations of this reiatsu ability that the Failure seemed to have. The only advantage or really disadvantage to this girl's power was the fact that Izanami was able to clearly see it. That last attack though had been close and while Izanami could always stay calm and feel virtually nothing from combat nor any other situation the facts were things that she still had to analyze in order to persevere and gain victory.

She had almost been slashed thoroughly by that dark colored reiatsu arm that the Failure had only just manifested right before she leaped into the air. If she had rushed forwards or waited a moment later she would have very likely been unable to get away without receiving some sort of devastating injury. There was one weakness that Izanami had correctly realized about her attire now that she was fighting against someone with this type of ability. So she had removed the cloak that normally was apart of her attire so that she could move more freely without the possibility of it being grabbed by one of the hands.

The two new long swords were now in complete formation and in both of her hands and Izanami was prepared to strike out against this Failure again. Throwing her cloak to the side of the car in hopes that it would grab the girl's attention. However, just when it did she felt the reiatsu of the Failure spike slightly once again. She was manifesting another one of her hands. Izanami had to move right now for if she didn't there was a good chance that she was going to be cut to ribbons by the claws that the hands seemed to have.

She believed that the Failure wouldn't be able to actually see her location due to her being behind the car and the car windows being tinted while it was dark out making it incredibly difficult to see through them. However, chances were something that Izanami had been trained to take unless she was on the offensive and making the opportune attack that could finish off an opponent. Right now she wasn't in that type of situation and couldn't risk it. So Izanami called on the soul of the cement once again only this time in order to jump backwards a total of ten feet out of the way of the sudden reiatsu hand that was clawing its way craving up the side of the car.

Izanami needed to finish this battle off now before the girl summoned anymore of the arms. There was no indication that she had a limit to how many she could actually manifest at once and if Izanami allowed this to continue there would be to many of them to react to soon. Thankfully the Failure had made a mistake or at least overlooked something. She was near the car now pretty much the same distance from it that Izanami was only on the other side of the car. While that wasn't a mistake in and of itself the fact that she was on one of her hands was a mistake. Izanami could see the pink of her hair and knew her location.

She blonde haired weapon would now be in view of the Failure as he feet touched the surface of the cement again and she started to come to a stop in her new location. As that happened Izanami threw the longsword in her right hand forwards with all of her strength. It would fly through the air right towards the Failure. However, it wasn't going to be easy for her to see. It wouldn't be impossible, but Izanami was using her new found skill at wielding swords to throw the blade through the window of the car and out the other side hopefully into the body of the Failure.

However, she did have a true attack. The Failure girl had already proven that attacking her by throwing the swords wasn't something that was going to work out normally. As long as there was distance between them and she could see them coming she would almost always be able to use one of the hands that she had to swat the sword away and keep herself from harm. That is why Izanami had thrown her claymore to begin with. It was a strategy that she had been taught as a Fullbringer that she felt might be needed against a ranged foe. It would be the first time that she needed it in order to claim victory though.

As the sword left her hand and Izanami watched it soar through the air she kept her right hand held outwards. The Failure would more then likely be either unaware of the sword on its way to pierce into her body and hopefully kill her or she would see it and be making adjustments most likely with the positioning of her hands in order to save herself. As that happened if she actually moved her position Izanami would move in the opposite way to keep them parallel. The reason being that Izanami's Fullbring the massive claymore was now being commanded back to her hand. The blade pulled from the cement and now soaring through the air backwards towards Izanami with the Failure in its path ready to cut her apart without her being able to see it coming.

Remaining Reiatsu: 940/1140

[Kiera Bright]

The girl must be able to sense reiatsu like Keira could, for she was alerted when the large arm came up behind her. When the claws of the met nothing but the metal side of the car, Keira that she avoided it. Keira felt tempted to persue the girl, and keep the pressure on her, but there was something nagging at her mind. She still didn't know what exactly the girl she was fighting was after. She could not risk straying too far from the lab in case she decided to make a mad dash for any of her experiments. Keira pulled all her arms to her. Seven large arms surround her. Each one of them ready to kill at the command, and just as capable of defending her. 

It would appear that this action had saved her life. The little girl was quite the marksman. She managed to throw one of the swords through the window of the car. The front hand was already in the way to keep her from getting hit by the black long sword. With a flick of it's large wrist the sword was once again sent flying away. Keira was getting tired of this game of cat and mouse. As long as they both had some open ground, they would be able to move and avoid their attacks with relative ease. Keria had an idea. If she can bring her into the areas of the asylum where she doesn't have any sensitive equipment, then maybe she can trap the girl.

When she turned the hand that she rode on back in the direction of the entrance of the asylum, she saw the claymore heading straight for him. The arm she rode on sank down as long as it can go while still moving fast. It moved in an arc around the blade's trajectory. She kept three arms between her and the large sword at all times. If the blade made contact with any of the arms, they would shudder violently, but it was doubtful that they could do any lasting harm to one of them. None the less, she would need to be a little more careful about fighting her. It seemed that she was not the only one that can but together a plan on the fly.

She motioned for the girl to fallow her. Mostly it was to taunt her, but she did want her to fallow. Keira would move as fast as her arm would carry her. The arms can move anywhere in her flood field, as long as she moves they can move with her. The hands shifted into a shield formation in front of her ready to defend against any other attacks that the woman might be planing. SHe would quickly pass through the entrance, and make a left heading into the western wing. As long as she kept to the lower floors of the asylum, they should not mess  anything up upstairs. She stopped in the middle of a hallway waiting for her prey to come closer. She would need to force her to get within range for her plan to work.

[Izanami Midorikawa]

Izanami had only just managed to get away from the claws of the giant hands that this Failure female was able to manifest through her reiatsu. Izanami could tell just by how strong the arms seemed to be that if she was caught out by them that she would more than likely actually be put out of comission for this battle. She knew that she could take a grand deal of pain and contrinue to fight, but getting slashed across her body by one of the claws wasn't something she was completely sure about. These things had just cut cleaning across the side of the car which was something that Izanami would have difficulty doing with her Fullbring. Everything was pointing to the fact that these arms were in fact stronger than she was and she would have to finish this right now.

Izanami went ahead and tried to eliminate the Failure as best she could though with the plan that she had come up with over the last few moments. She had already used her Eyes to form the metal into the two new long swords. She went ahead leaping backwards and taking sight of the Failure's hair. She knew the location and threw the katana through the windows of the car in hopes of killing the Failure. However, as she threw the sword she realized that the body of the Failure was mostly covered by darkness. She watched as the sword was knocking away by the shielding position of the arms. There hadn't been a way for her to actually get inside of this Failure's arms and trying to get up close to her was suicidal.

Holding out her hand Izanami soul commanded the soul of her Fullbring causing it to rip from the cement and come flying through the air towards her. If the Failure didn't do anything then her Fullbring would surely strike her from behind where her concentration would be the weakest and kill her. That was the onmly thing that Izanami had up her sleeve right now. She starred through the hole of the car windows now at the Failure as this all happened. The girl had such pink hair that it tried to grab ahold of all her attention. Izanami's emotionless eyes fought off the hair which sought all attention though. She watched with the other longsword in her left hand as her claymore moved through the air for with nothing inside of her besides this single plan and logic.

Her plan though didn't work. The Failure seemed to have either anticipated something or simply felt that she got to close to the car that Izanami had arrived in. For whatever reason it may have been the Failure turned around on top of the hand that she was using to travel. She immediately saw the claymore coming towards her and Izanami began to see that she was moving downwards and around. The onmly thing that she could think to do would be to throw the extra long sword in her left hand. She had the possibility though of running into a trap if she did that though. She choice to stay safe for the time being or at least on the defensive. She had to watch as the Failure ducked under her Fullbring.

Izanami would then jump as her Fullbring got close to the car. It would change tragretorty in order to come up towards her and would then be held tightly in her right hand. Izanami descended downwards over the other side of the car. This had been the side that she got out of and had been on during the first exchange. It was also where the Failure had just been standing a few moments ago. However, it seemed that the Failure was now retreating into the aslyum. Izanami started to move forward after the Failure. "Wait Midori. There could be traps inside of that building. For the time being we've gathered all the data we need to on her. We'll let her be for now get back inside it's time we leave."

Izanami being the individual that she actually for in reality wasn't had no say. She was nothing, but a weapon to be aimed at someone so when Yumi gave her an order she obeyed without hesitation. That's what it meant to be Izanami. Having no individuality in order to secure the fact that she was the perfect weapon. However, recently the lack of individualness and characteristics were slipping and Izanami was starting to expereinece emotions. This was one of those moments where she felt soemthing new.

She didn't want to stop attacking the Failure. She wanted to keep it going and find out just which one of them could win. She fought against logic knowing what she did in regards to the Failure. Izanami though had to keep up the facade that she was still nothing, but a weapon. So she opened the door and the both of them made they're way back to the facility for Izanami to get some sleep and her training to resume.

[Kiera Bright]

As Keira made her way into the asylum, she kept her attention directed behind her. She was listening for any sign that the girl was going after her. Keira didn't hear anything. She wanted to be sure that she wasn't just waiting for Keira to come out and attack her then, so she waited for a few seconds to try and feel everything out. She waited hearing nothing but the ambiance of the crumbling asylum. When she didn't hear anything, she made her way to a nearby opening in the wall directly to the outside. The opening itself was a small hole in the wall not one of the many holes that are large enough to move through. It was more window sized. 

She saw the girl returning to the vehicle which she used to arrive. TO be honest, she was surprised that the car was suitable to drive with the beating that it took, and the fact that she used the metal to form swords to throw at Keria. Keira wondered why she was not going after her. She picked up that the girl was smarter than the average fighter, but she didn't think that she would think as much as Keira would in a combat scenario. Keira watched the girl get into the vehicle and drive off. Keira had to wonder still what she was after. She didn't seem to be after the research that Keira should was doing, so Keira had to believe that she was after herself. 

Once the car was out of sight, Keira moved from her ambush position and started to look out from the room just to make sure that she was not just hiding some where out of sight. She could no longer feel the presence of the girl, and had to be satisfied with that. Keria glared out and turned back to her labs. She needed to build some sort defenses around here just in case some other person decided to come after her. Keira rubbed her chin in thought trying to think about what she should do first. She shrugged and dismissed her arms returning to her living quarters. She stayed in the small room she stayed in since her abandonment. As much as she hated it, it did grow on her.
