Human World

[.:Tai:.]

Tai swung at his side,

He jumped out of the way.

This was too easy for the man.
Tai knew it.

But he wouldn't let him know.

as the vaizard landed,
Tai turned and let go of Mordecai.

His zanpakutou now orbited around him.

Tai's arms began to charge up with reiatsu..
The vaizard cocked it's eyebrow and then lunged forward, striking down hard, just to find himself being blocked by Tai's scythe.

Inside the stalemate, Tai Pointed his left palm to the man,
"..Rikujyoukourou" He said aloud,

The prison formed around the man, Holding him tightly.

Tai Pushed forward with Mordecai, Knocking his opponent off balance, and leaped forward, sending his right fist, burning with reiatsu, into the man's face.

The man flew back feet upon feet, until colliding with the ground.

Tai grabbed Mordecai.
He got his confidence back.

[ShadowNIN]

Johon was able to slice deep into the Hollow's midsection cutting him. The beast cried out with a blood curdling scream. Johon looked to the side at the claws like blades sliced deep into the Hollow’s face plate.

The face plate cracked and shaddered. The Hollow’s laughed at his effort to say alive they said, “You will die here Shinigami and we will feast on your soul.”

Johon smiled slicing the hollow in front of him again for good measure. As it disappeared he said, “Sacrifice yourself upon the alter of life. My sword will judge you. It grants life but also death, come meet your fate.”

Yesss we will bring them to there chosen fate.

Johon looked around he was surrounded by hollows, they licked there claws in anticipation. Johon looked at them knowing he was in a bad position. But it wasn’t time yet he still need to fight on before pulling all the stops.

Johon looked around at the building to his side with a gapping hole in it. There were a few street lamps and more building. Johon could feel Tai fight hard he needed to free himself of this burden.

Johon rushed at the closest hollow dead on. The hollow attacked with black spike that came out of this body each missile aim for Johon. Johon managed fine but then the other jumped in on each side, attacking with there claws. Johon managed to move to block using his blades but his progress stopped. He could barely keep up with all of them.

Johon knew before it even happen that they drew blood. One of the larger ones looked at him and smiled he looked like a half man half horse. Johon barely saw the whip coming, it slammed into the monsters he was fight. The hollow disappeared and the whip continued slamming into him. It had wicked barbs on it that sliced deep into johon’s body.

By the force of the attack he was sent flying through the crowd of hollows and into the adjacent wall. Johon crashed through the wall and felt the rush of pain. Johon stood up bleeding from the head, nose and body.

The cuts were deep but that didn’t matter the pain only fueled his anger. Johon looked up and knew this was no time to gamble his life away. Johon spoke the words, “Sai, release.” Johon weight fell to the ground.

This was no longer a game this was battle and very serious at that. Johon had underestimated them once and almost paid dearly for it. Johon started to glow a dark green gray. He was increasing his reiatsu to help protect him.

Johon looked up and knew he needed them to be off guard. He pure reiatsu into his palm and said, “Blasting spell the First: Sudden Impact” The blast of wind sent rubble from the wall at the hollows. Between the force of the wind and the flying rock the hollow were confused.

Johon took this opportunity to attack he grabbed his Zanpakutou with two hands. He was released of his burden, this was going to get good. Johon rushed forward again the few hollows that werent confused by the attack try to stop his rush. Johon just grinned, he quickly side step each attack and was upon them.

Johon swung his blade at the first hollow slicing deep into his shoulder cutting him in half. Johon widened his stance and whipped his sword around attacking the hollow to his right. The sword bit deep into the hollows leg. Johon sensed danger barely jumping out the way of the whip.

The ground crump where Johon was and he saw the whip go back to its owner. The centaur like hollow laughed as two more hollows died from his attack. Johon landed on the light pole and looked around. He saw that the centaur was using the weaker hollow to wear him down.

Johon was glade that he hadn’t been using too much reiatsu. But he was bleeding and need to stop this endless tide of hollows. The street was filled with hollows and he was just above them. They were attack from all side filling the street below.

Johon smiled and looked deep within himself. Johon raised his hand the hollows were almost on top of him He whispered, “Watch me sister, see my power, I’m am ready for you.”

Johon said, "Hadou no Sanjuu San: Soukatsui, Destructive Art #33: Blue Fire Fall” Johon wasn’t pointing his hand at the hollows. No he was aiming the blue flame at the building right next to him. The blast shook the building to its very core. The walls crumbled under the stress and huge chunks of building came crashing down upon everyone.

Johon pushed his legs to move as fast as possible, remembering his movement training. Johon jumped from rock to rock moving upward. The pieces of building came crashing down upon the hollows crushing them. Johon had made it to the top of the 8 story tall building. He looked down upon his handy work. Only a few had survived the stronger hollows the rest were gone disappeared into nothingness.

He barely even had time to react. The centaur hollow clashed through the roof. He rushed johon and said, “Did you think such a weak attack could hurt us. Those were just pieces of trash.” Johon saw that the hollow was weakened but the centaur hollow used the few moments of surprise to attack driving his hoof into johon chest. Johon body was thrown off of the roof.

The centaur came after him following his falling body. Johon saw that he was going to try and crush him. Johon looked to the side saw the building and extended his hand. The claw blades dug into the wall slowing his decent. Johon pushed reiatsu into him arm and pulled. Johon stopped and clung to the wall the centaur hollow swung his body in midair sending his whip at Johon. Johon released his grip falling another two stories. Johon reached the ground landing on his feet crushing the cement underneath him.

Johon looked up at the hollow. He rose from his spot calling the remaining hollows to his side. He looked at Johon and said, "You will die here."

Johon smiled back and said, "Tell me what hell is like."

[ShadowNIN]

Johon looked up at the remaining Hollows there were 4 left excluding the Centaur. This was going to be trouble. He needed to get the upper hand and kill the other hollows. Johon smiled know what he needed to do. Johon place his hand upon his zanpakutou forcing his reiatsu into it. The Sword started to glow at first a red then orange and finally a white.

Johon knew that only thing that kelp time breathing was ‘guts’ and that is what was going to get him through this struggle. Johon rushed the hollows dead on each one jumping into the fray. The first two that attack resembled a pair of horned beetles. They tried to run him through. Johon was able to parry the first rather easily. His zanpakutou cooked the flesh of the hollow as he pushed the horn away. Then he directly attacked the second hollow. The second beetle like hollow aimed his attack at Johon’s chest. Johon reached out with his claw like hand and extended the blades.

The hollow screamed in pain as the blades broke through the right side of his mask and dove deep into its shoulder. Johon jumped up out of the way of the hollow’s attack. But in mid-flight Johon saw the others coming his way.

He could only wait as the other two attacked him. These were huge brute like monsters that seemed to be covered in armor. They attack with the spike on there backs pulling them off and throwing them. They stayed close to the ground only lifting from here protective armor to hurl the spears.

Johon raised his reiatsu shield surrounding himself with protective energy. The spike stuck the shield sending sparks everywhere. Johon flew backwards and landed close to the horn beetle like hollows. They attack him in a join venture. Each no leaving any space for a counter attack. Johon sword called out to him telling him to attack. Johon look forward as the hollows ran side by side using there horns like swords.

Johon Swung his blade at the two charging hollows and he said, “Destructive Art #54: Waste Flame” The blast went straight at them it was lucky there were so close together. The black flame melted the harden skin of the beetles. They fell to the ground writhing in pain. There masks melted under the force of the blast. They may not have been dead but they felt that one. Johon moved before the Centaur hollow had a clear shot of him.

Johon saw that he was hiding behind the brute hollows. Johon smiled and yelled, “Hide all you want only death awaits you now.” Johon felt the anger and rage build up in him. But the blood lose was started to weaken his condition. He had to move quick if he was going to be any help to Tai. Johon rushed forward ready to meet them head on.

[.:Tai:.]

The vaizard soon broke out of it's prison with ridiculous strength.

He grabbed what seemed to be air, and picked himself up.

His zanpakutou whistled with the wind.

Renowned power came over the man.

Tai began to feel heavy.
Just the time to remove his weights.

Tai swung around Mordecai rapidly.

His weights slowly drifted down off his arms and legs along with pieces of his attire.

He could feel his feet now hovering above the pavement.
Atleast, that's what He felt like.

Believe what you will.

This fight still remains queued.

The man gripped his weapon tightly and ran towards Tai, pulling back the sword, ready to strike.

[ShadowNIN]

Johon moved as fast as he could, pushing his legs to quicken there pace. He was on top of the hollows in no time flat. They both had pulled spikes out of there back and were ready for him. Each moving to attack the first lifted up from behind its large shield and came down with an overhead slash. The other swung in a low sweep trying to take out johon’s feet.

Johon jumped to the side allowing the first attack to hit the ground. The cement exploded underneath him. The second attack was rather quick for something so big. Johon didn’t have time to reposition his landing. Johon drove his sword down to meet the hollow’s attack.

Johon pushed against the hollow’s attack trying to deflect it. Johon felt the ground under him start to give. Johon moved his position allow the attack to follow through away from him and attacked the first brute. He grabbed his sword with both hands and swung it around in an arch. His Zanpakutou bit into the hollows armor but that was all. The hollow laughed at his attempt to pierce his armor.

The brute said, “There is no way for you to kill us, our armor is unbreakable.” They shifted under their armor moving behind their larger shields.

Johon looked up in time to see the Centaur like hollow join the fray. He stood back and attacked with his whip. The armor protected the brutes from the attack. But he wasn’t going to be so lucky, Johon had to back off, moving a few feet back. The whip cracked uselessly on the ground.

Johon knew their weak spot was the masks. He had to get around the Brutes they were a problem. Johon went in again for a second attack. Johon extended his left arm and created a reiatsu blade to match his Zanpakutou. Flying spear zoomed past his head, barely missing a the killing blow. Johon went in first with an over hand swing at the first Brute hollow. Johon didn’t give them a moment of rest. He used his second sword to keep the attack on, japing at the second brute hollow.

Each attack was brushed aside by the armor of the brutes. They counter-attacked johon swinging there large spears in a bashing attacks. Johon would not stay in one place long enough for them to get a hit. The cement exploded around him as the attack came in volleys. The large Centaur Hollow couldn’t get a clear shot at Johon. So he just stood back waiting for his time to attack.

Johon pushed even more reiatsu into him body. He could feel his limit coming up. The stress on his body was becoming unbearable even through his fit of rage. The Brute hollow attacks had way too much force behind them to stop. He could only dodge the attacks. He couldn’t really deflect such monstrous attacks.

Johon looked up as the Brute hollows got ready for yet another attack. Johon moved in closer to them, slashing as hard as he could, forcing them back. Over and over again he attacked he screamed, “fury of blows!!!” Johon repeatedly attack at the hollows armor. The wounds on his arms and body reopened. The fresh blood flowed but he didn’t give that any mind. He just focused on keeping up the attack waiting for that opening he knew that would come.

Johon saw it finally…the stress on the armor was too much and it started to crack and johon looked up and allowed his second sword to disappear. Johon grabbed his sword with two hands and swung it bitting into the first slicing cleanly from top to bottom. The second screamed, “brother…you die now.” He attacked with a slash connecting with Johon smashing into his chest.

Johon was thrown back onto the ground sliding 4 feet. Johon vision blurred as the brute went to finish him. Johon grabbed his blade pushing himself off of the ground. The Brute was almost on top of Johon. Johon whispered, “This is not a limit to my strength. Feel my resolution monster.” Johon meet the brute’s attack with his own. Johon raised his reiatsu as high as it would go. Surrounding his body with reiatsu.

The two-clashed together Johon was the first to be pushed back. But he pushed his power higher crushing the cement under him and pushing forward. Finally the hollow's weapon cracked and broke, Johon’s Zanpakutou sliced into the hollow’s mask.

Johon said, “Now go pass on and live again. I admire your strength but you had fallen too far from Gaia.”

The hollow said as it disappeared, “Thank you for ending our pain. When did we loose ourselves?” Johon couldnt even move, he just saw the attack coming, the whip wrapped around his body. His reiatsu was the only thing preventing major damage.

But the barbs still sliced deep into his body the Centaur hollow smiled and then threw him into the adjacent wall. Johon felt the pain of the attack. He lay in the rubble of the wall. His body wasn’t moving he was telling to move but, he couldn’t move anymore, what was wrong with him. Was this his limit? Was he dead now?

Johon opened his eye watching as the hollow walked towards him. His laughter was piercing Johon to the core. Johon’s anger peaked but he could move anymore. The blood loss, plus the broken bones and the internal damage was extensive.

Johon gritted his teeth managing to barely stand up only by leading against his sword. Johon said to the approaching beast, “This is not over you’re the worst type of beast using everyone around you. Because your too weak to do it yourself. You will die.”

The hollow said, “When your dead and I’m feeding on your soul I will remember what you said.” The hollow laughed and lean back to attack him.

[ShadowNIN]

Johon tried to move his body it just didn’t want to go anywhere. The hollow smashed johon with a right hook sending him further into the building. Johon smashed through a few walls before he came to a stop. He picked himself up just barely almost in a state of unrest.

Johon looked around and found himself in his inner world. The skies are dark and the vegetation was everywhere. Johon looked around and found the two sisters sitting on the side of a tree looking at him. They were both as they always were. One was dressed in a wolf’s belt her Kimono almost all but discarded. The other was wearing a white vale and a totally white Kimono.

They said as one, “Is this the limit of your power. Have you fallen so quickly will the only thing that will save you is our strength?”

Johon looked at himself all bloodied and hurt he then looked at them and said, “I cannot move anymore my body has reached its limit.”

The sisters said, “and has your spirit too. If you need more strength just come to us and ask we could consider it.” They had a smirk on there face trying to tell johon that He was weak.

Johon smiled and said, “You strength is my strength you power is my power I will not just fall. You will see my power one day and ill will fight with you for it.”

They both smiled and said, “and finally he thinks.”

Johon found himself lying in a bunch of rubble. Johon raised his reiatsu throwing the rubble off of his body. His wound hissed as they closed themselves. Johon knew that this was the sister’s doing. He stood up looking at the monster and smiled. Johon placed his hand on his blade and forced his reiatsu into it. He didn’t feel any pain anymore he was past that. He just smiled he knew he was ready to send this hollow to hell. Johon’s Zanpakutou glowed white from the energy the air around it was super heated. Johon ran at the hollow charging him in a fit of rage.

Johon dodge the repeated whip attack ignoring everything thing else around him. Johon was only a few yard away and he said, “Destructive Art #54: Waste Flame” Johon released the attack at the Hollow. The hollow could dodge in time it’s used its forearm to block the attack. The hollow scream out of pain and black blood spilled from the wound.

Johon used this slight distraction in order to get closer. Johon placed his two hands on his hilt and said, “Be purged from this world you abomination.” Johon swung his sword at the hollow. But the hollow was ready and blocked with its massive forearms. Johon bore down on the monster pushing himself further.

Johon leaned into the sword saying, “And the gate of hell shall open and swallow you whole.” Johon raised his reiatsu even higher pushing his body further that it had ever gone before. Johon pushed the hollow back and then the hollow trying one last attempt to push Johon off. It was useless Johon was already pushing through the hollow.

The sword bit deep and then sliced through Johon turned around and started to walk away. The monster screamed, “It not over Shinigami you will…” Then it appeared the Gate to Hell. The door was covered with skeletons and was black as night. When it opened the hands of hell itself reached out grabbing the Hollow and dragging it into hell itself.

Johon said, “You reap what you sow.”

Johon moved off away from the scene he had a companion to help and he wasn’t going to stick around here. Johon lifted his head and felt around finding Tai and moved to the top of a building closer the action. If he needs help he wanted to be able and jump in at anytime. Johon was ready for anything now.

[zoeygirl]

She went through, leaving behind her an unconcious shinigami guard who had so mildly stood in the wrong place at the wrong time. Perhaps Zoey had not been required to use force in such a likely situation, yet her more pissy nature urged her to take those measures just the same.

The portal led to earth, more directly, outside the rims of the city. A park. The air cool and crisp.

Zoey stared up at the sky calmly before redirectioning her attention elsewhere. Reitsu spurrs sprouted to the southeast of her current range of sight. Cracking her knuckles, the woman's soft features extended into an ominous smirk. Without a sound, the woman began her walk along the sidewalk down the nearly deserted streets towards the strange fluid mix of powers. Something was certainly going on. One of which she recognized well....

[.:Tai:.]

Tai and the vaizard exchanged blows.

They ran from street to street,
Leaving little pieces of themselves where they would stop.

Tai grew tired.
The vaizard didn't drop one bit.

He was toying with him.

This was all such bullshit.

Battered and beaten, Tai threw a weak strike out to the vaizard.

The vaizard smiled and dodged, quickly striking Tai across his chest.

Tai flew back.

He tumbled across the pavement, bleeding severely.

The vaizard laughed.
"..Shinigami, you are weak." He snickered.

Tai heaved.
He wanted to get up.
He wanted to win.
He wanted to prove everyone wrong.

But he couldn't.
He knew he couldn't.

This all reminded him of his death.
The one he had long forgotten about.
Ever since he fought Mordecai.

He climbed to his feet using mordecai as an aid.

'...What have we done?'

Mordecai remained silent.

Tai held Mordecai up to the Vaizard.
His vision grew blurry.

He breathed heavy and fast.

"..Ban..kai." He muttered.

A large aura came about Tai,
But it soon faded.

Nothing happened.

Tai's eyes shot open.

*What?*

The vaizard began to cackle.

He appeared before Tai and sent a vast amount of attacks in his direction.

Tai took every hit.

Mordecai sealed and flew back with tai.

He was dying now.

Tai could feel himself slipping...
But he wouldn't let go.

No...not yet.

The vaizard walked up to Tai.

"..You are nothing to me." He said, picking Tai up by the collar.

Tai bled through his clenched teeth.
He gritted them like he could do something about all of this.

He had let Johon down.
He had let Soul Society Down
He had let his division down.
He had let himself down.

How much more could Tai lose before he loses himself?

The vaizard tossed Tai down the street and disappeared.

This fight was over.

And if Tai didn't receive any help,
Then he would soon be over.

[zoeygirl]

A reitsu was fading out. The strong feeling of hollow-like powers surged down the streets. Streaks of what hinted to be a bankai leveled surge vanished almost as swiftly as it appeared. The feeling of a shinigami's weakening state lowering. She sensed the reitsu of another shinigami but it was one that didn't concern her. There was simply one target. The same feeling that rushed through her mind, shooting through her nerves like seeping acid taking its course. Nothing else was currently important, not another thought plagued her mind.

Short flash steps moved her figure along the alleyways, down the sidewalks, and across the building's roofs in a short blink of the eye. Standing atop of an unlit street lamp, Zoey narrowed her head out and over glancing in the direction of the feeling her senses indicated 'his location. So close. But there was a slight alteration to this feeling. Was someone doing the job for her?

She disappeared, reappearing on the edge of a street's sidewalk. Her head tilted awkwardly to the side, half opened eyes watching the event carefully. The feeling of something that was once here no longer stood. Her victim was dying.

Zoey furrowed her eyebrows unsurely. Did that mean her order was complete? He was already near death yet he wasn't quite there yet. So was there nothing else for her to do? The Taichou didn't quite understand. Her eyes locked to the still shinigami, the streets and sidewalks in the perimeter hinting the signs of a fight mingling the smell of blood and sweat. She approached him hovering over several feet back, standing there absent mindedly. Her hands stood by her side, uncompassionate eyes staring down. Ignoring the other shinigami's presence, Zoey waited patiently for Tai to die.

[.:Tai:.]

Tai's eyes wandered blankly.

Opening and Closing so weak in fashion.

Tai couldn't bear this once more.

He couldn't move.
He couldn't move...

Half-conscious, Tai saw Johon peeking from the rooftop of a nearby building like a shadow.

And then..

then she came.

A ghost?
An Angel?

A silhouette?

What does it matter...

Tai looked to her shrouded face.
Though clouded,
He knew who she was.

He could feel it in his finger tips.

Not much time left now.

His vision began to darken.

He felt only so much air left in his lungs to let out.

With a Final conscious breath.
He wanted her to know something.

"..zoe...zoey..." He muttered.

What it mattered if she were really there or an apparition,
Naught.

"...don't...be afraid...to feel."

Tai's eyes slowly shut.
Dead?
No..
Not quite.

Tai doesn't give up that easily.

[ShadowNIN]

Johon knew it was suicide Tai was way stronger than him but he had to get this monster away from him. There was no way he was going to die not now. Johon felt another presence but that didn’t matter ether.

He had to act now that he knew that. His power may be weak but his reiatsu and spirit were strong. Johon looked with in himself tell the sisters it was time for power.

Johon jumped down as he was falling he ran his fingers across his blade and pushed reiatsu into it. The blade started to glow bright as the sun.

Johon would no let his baster do what he wanted even if he was just a distraction. That was fine the other a familiar presence would take care of the rest. Johon nodded as if he knew she was there but would be the one to pull him out.

Johon said, “Look son of a bitch you want a piece of something have a piece of me. Or do you like pushing around the unconscious.” Johon raised his Zanbakitou and said, “Destructive art # 54: Waste Flame.” The man just stood there as Johon came.

Johon sent the blast right at the person then Johon pushed his body hard than he ever had done before. Johon whispered, “Sisters if you don’t help me with this then you will see me leave this world with out our vengeance.” Johon ran to tai scooping him up. Johon didn’t even look back he just focused on speed. Johon jumped up to an adjacent building and looked down.

Johon placed his hand on Tai and said, “Let this hand judge for the live and for the dead. Those who are true to the purpose of life come sisters and renew this one.” Johon felt a small taste of the true power of his Zanbakitou. Some of Johon’s spiritual energy went into Tai. Johon could only manage a little but he prayed that was enough.

It would seem that the energy of life and death were his Zanbakitou's true powers. Now he true understood that, up till now he never really understood them. One was his humanity the other was his more animalistic side. They both held the power of life and death. he just wished he could have train this power more.

Johon went to the edge waiting for the man to come. Johon knew this would be trouble even death. But there was nothing else t
