Two Growing Shikai.

[Beast]

The Kidou Corps have a room known to very few people. It was the site of the Kidou Corps Commander exam and has had very little activity since. On the outside it looks normal, almost temple like, and the inside is pretty boring too. However, there is a Zero Division member who has the power to turn it into something amazing. Inside this room, Senshi and Grodd are fighting again. They have been transported inside the Zero Division member's Shikai. They literally stand in an empty room. The floor is white and there are no walls. It stretches infinitely. There is nothing to impede them save for each other.

Grodd is holding his three inch knife of a Zanpakutou. He knows that they are evenly matched now and he instantly decides to release his Shikai. The expression of his soul in weapon form. He slashes in the air and forms Kanji with reiatsu. The words "Help me Grow, Oerwoud Hart!" hang in the air before he pulls the blade from the hilt and the transformation begins. His hair blasts upwards as leaves pour out cinematically as his Shikai releases. When the energy fades his long hair still stretches up like it's filled with static and his small knife has been replaced with bone gauntlets around his arms. He's now ready for battle.

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Odayakama Senshi had stood and faced her opponent as she was heavily interested in the man using his own reiatsu to spell the words of his Shikai name. The man's hair had grown rapidly long before bone gauntlets had covered the man's arms. It seemed that these two were to clash again as Odayakama Senshi had drawn her standard 60 inch Katana. This was going to be a battle of releases as Senshi Odayakama had held her katana in a reverse grip and had called out the name of her Shikai. She wouldn't hold back like last time. She learned that she must always go all out in a battle or else disgrace her foe.

"Extend above the heavens and fly! Shonin Joka!" in a glowing blue light, the sword had created a gust around Senshi as a cinematic and had soon dissapeared revealing a three foot long Tanto in her possession. Senshi had fallen into her own Aikido/Zanjutsu sword stance mixture as she looked to her opponent. She had nothing but determination in her eyes as she knew the extent of her abillities. She herself was ready for a battle with Grodd as he would be her first real opponent. The blade wouldn't look special, but this was a release for a reason after all. By expending 500 Reiatsu, Senshi's blade would grow taller by 50 percent. Now the blade was no longer three feet but four feet eight inches. Spinning the blade back into her standard style, Odayakama Senshi had stared at her foe. Her analytical prowess has only grown as time passed, and she is more than prepared to challenge the man. She may not know what his abillities are, but he doesn't know hers either.

Senshi and Grodd had both released their primary levels of Zanpakutou, the Shikai. Grodd's took the form of bone gauntlets that covered one side of his forearm and his knuckles, while Senshi's took the form of a simple sword. Within moments though, they both demonstrated very similar abilities. Senshi's Tanto grew into the length of a Katana, while Grodd's hair grew by a foot. His long hair became even longer extending down from the top of his head to his mid thigh. The Third Seat crouched down in a defensive stance as his hair swirled around him like it was alive.

Grodd's hands were still curled up which hid the additional feature of his body that was growing as a result of his Shikai. His fingers had become sharp as his fingernails grew an inch longer with filed points. Additionally, it might be hard to tell right off the bat but he was now 6'8" tall with his arms growing a half inch longer as well. Senshi had the ability to force growth rapidly, but Grodd's growth was more passive, more subtle, and slower. For the moment, however, Grodd was still in his defensive stance. Previously they had both discovered that their fighting styles were defensive in nature, but this time Grodd thought it best to stay on the defensive. The longer that the two waited in limbo, the stronger he would become...

Remaining Reiatsu: 1300/1500
Shikai 2/10

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Using Senshi's battle analysis skills, she had noticed his second subtle changes and had realized she must take action. The man had grown slightly taller and his hair had also grown longer than before. She would have to be the one to lead the offense this time around. Using the Shunpo now moving at a rapid speed of 2000 for a single step, she would close the distance between the two Shinigami to test her hypothesis. By leaping into the air and flipping in midair, she had aimed a curved slice in a crescent like motion to slice the man's hair to cut the length in half with her Reiatsu strength. Meanwhile, her other hand had been pointed at the chest of her opponent. "Hado#4:Byakurai!" A powerful lightning bolt would aim to pierce the chest of the man to end the battle swiftly. Her Shikai was expensive to maintain, and difficult to manage.

If the man's hair had been cut in half, Senshi's blade would lodge into the floor as a support for Senshi to swing back onto her feet. Most likely the Byakurai would force the fellow to dodge, but Senshi knew from the man's nature he would most likely take the hit head on. She needed to slice the man directly or risk losing energy to fight. She had been taking too much energy in this battle, and it had only just begun.

[Beast]

Senshi closed the distance between them in an instant with Shunpo, then jumped into the air to attack Grodd's hair while following up with a Byakurai. Instinctively the man tensed up his long flowing hair and raised his arm to catch the Byakurai on his Shikai's bone gauntlet. Senshi was much faster than him now, though his reaction time had increased significantly since they last fought. He managed to tense up his hair to Zanpakutou steel durability before she cleaved all the way through his locks of hair. Her blade would cut through some, but not all of it, and would get stuck as it became too strong to cut through. It continued to grow as well, surrounding the whole blade with its durable form. The byakurai would be completely outclassed by Grodd's Shikai and would dissipate harmlessly against the bone.

Senshi had high reiatsu strength, but not enough to surpass a three class difference with a weak hado like that. She would find herself in a bind, now, as Grodd had robbed her of her weapon. She didn't have the strength to pull it free and he was already counter attacking while she was still within his range of attack. His right and shot out and stabbed her with his fingernails, now over two inches long and powered by his beastly physical strength. She'd be blown backwards with deep cuts if she didn't have some way of blocking his attack or getting out of the way. As she had jumped in the air and there was no air ground to push off of she might have some issues in dodging. If successful, Grodd would loosen his hair and use it to throw her Shikai off to the side.

Remaining Reiatsu: 1,250/1,500 (-50 Hair Hardening)
Shikai: 3/10
Grodd's height: 6'9"

[Senshi Odayakama (Crimson.)]

Apon Senshi's blade only cutting through a portion of the man's hair, she felt the hair suddenly stop her blade in it's tracks as his hair hardened to be like steel. She now understood the premises of his Zanpaktou. However, apon defending his chest from Senshi's Byakurai he left himself open to one of Senshi's surprises. The woman had put her next attack into motion with her high instincts. Odayakama Senshi may not have been able to pull her blade free, but she never needed to begin with. "Split! Shonin Joka!" Her blade would suddenly split from the tip into six thin blades.

Apon the blades splitting into six thin pieces, they would then have the aim needed to extend forwards and stab into the Shinigami in front of her. The blades would move forward and grow to stab the man in the upper chest and right shoulder. The blades apon reaching Katana length would be able to pierce fairly deep into her foe. Apon stabbing the enemy, the blade would then absorb 300 Reiatsu from her foe and funnel into the blade to make the blade grow 20% taller and 10% more dense. The blade would grow to be five feet seven inches to pierce through the man's shoulder, and plunge deeper into his skin as his chest would also he pierced a foot deeper than before. The blade would also then slightly become slightly more thick widening the wound by mere inches.

Assuming the man had still attacked her, Odayakama Senshi would have been pierced badly by the man's nails in exchange for delivering her own devastating damage, that is if her extending blade hadn't killed the man. Being sent flying, the woman would cough blood before rolling backwards to slow and then would be skidding onto the floor before quickly forcing herself to stand. Blood had dripped from her now torn Shinigami uniform as she cringed in pain. Two trickles of crimson would drip from her mouth on either end as her blade was most likely too deep to remove easily and without damaging himself further. Panting, the redheaded Shinigami would plan her next move. She exhausted her reiatsu for a critical attack plan on the seated officer.
