Sector D [Operation Moon Massacre] - Page 2 JCRrxmK

Artist: Nhato — Song: Outer Science

Kimiyo's palm stretched outwards, flexing her fingers to their utmost extent before curling them up into a ball. Steam escaped through the gaps in her fingers like the smoke of a gun's barrel having fired. Some of it adhered to her 'delicate' flesh as droplets of sweat when it became cool enough to turn from gas to liquid. To tell the truth, Kimiyo hadn't really been in a combat operation for the Vanguard yet, not until this day. She would maintain her condition and abilities through the daily training, but she never quite had a time to exercise her power to its fullest since she left the Miyake village. This was a chance...

She brought her fist back towards her and stared at it, moving her fingers one by one as if she were just testing them out. While the skeleton man was trying to speak to her, she was only snickering at this feeling of energy rushing through her arm. This was to live for, this power; there was just nothing quite like the experience of Chi filling her body, mixed with the adrenaline constantly being secreted throughout her blood. To be honest, she could hardly be assed with the identity of her enemy, or the reasoning behind this conflict, or the morality of the situation when it came to a good fight. She was here to have others provide it for her.

When the pair of bones were hurled her way, she would finally look up from her own hand, bearing the crooked smile of an arrogant woman. ''Let's not make this more complicated than it needs to be,'' she replied, as her right arm coiled back and then swung at the first projectile like a speeding truck. The seemingly hard surface would undulate and warp from the strength of the impact, trying to hold itself together under the shockwaves bounding throughout it at first. However, when it became too much to handle, the bone would shatter into an innumerable amount of white flakes that fly into the far right wall like the spread of a shotgun blast.

Following that, Kimiyo leaped up into the air to dodge the subsequent projectile, her foot stamping down from the top of the bone as she used it like a stepping stone. ''You dodged my first attack, huh?'' she inquired as her boots dashed across the narrow length of the bone, her body rushing towards its sender. Each step broke through the surface, splintering and cracking it open before moving on. Her final footfall would be the strongest, pushing herself off fast enough to cause her visage to flicker out of view, while the bone smashed into the ground behind her. Kimiyo's body would only reappear when directly in front of her prey, her arms spread wide like she was about to give out a bear hug.

''Good! Maybe you might be worth my time!'' she cried out happily, just before whipping her arms forward and attempting to smash the man's head between her hands like it was a discolored watermelon. When her palms came together, the sound they created when they clapped would be strong enough to shake one down to the bones. For Henrex and herself, the sound would be muted by their fleshy bodies... but the poor skeleton was nothing but bone, and would find himself releasing an annoying tone as his body shook from the vibrations. It was rather comedic too.

''I'll fight you here, and you'll entertain me, or else I'll leave for your boss. That is our relationship... and all you have to do is keep it as simple as that, okay~? ...Surely you've been on a date before? You should at least have the basest manners. Treat a cute girl nice, why don't you?'' To have an opponent who didn't fall at the first attack was, strangely, a rarity in Kimi's life. As long as he was able to keep her on edge, she would have no reason to leave unless she was directly ordered to, and even then with great reluctance.

As she was about to go in for a follow-up attack on the skeleton, she was interrupted by the nearby whispers of the boy from earlier. Try as she might to zone him out of this exciting match, he was there to reaffirm his existence. 'Huh, I guess I should be nicer toward other members of the Vanguard... but geeze. At a time like this?' Really, he stopped her to exchange names and pleasantries, really dampening the fervor of battle she was feeling and practically getting high off of. There would always be time for introductions later, but... she guessed... for the sake of another fighter...

She flexed one of her arms across her chest, and placed the palm of her other arm on her bicep, adopting a stance of strength and heroism. With a more genuine smile than any of the vicious contortions of the mouth she had given out thus far, she looked at Henrex and announced in a powerful voice: ''I descend from the skies to deliver victory onto the battlefield, and defeat even the strongest of foes while fighting gracefully. I am the beautiful and dynamic Goddess of Battle, Kimiyo Miyake!''

"Woah there, kid… no need to get so heated." He informed Henrex, the sword coming down… and smashing directly into the ground. Sonny was long gone, his body having reappeared a couple feet to the left of the boy. His body movements had been very… predictable. The movement of his muscles, the intention of his arms, the look in his eyes… it was all within Sonny's sight.

Unfortunately, he also heard the words clearly. You could say the he could feel it in his bones. He had to pay attention to details, no matter how small or inconsequential. Running away was all that the little skeleton was really good at. "So what does it mean, anyway, kid?" Sonny asked him, almost curiously. " 'Henrex Astillon'… is it something with an ironic meaning, or does it just sound cool?" Sonny asked, his eyes looking away for a moment. "Though… I think your attacks will be used more on the environment, huh?" He remarked, looking at the woman now as he addressed her. He could feel her lust for battle all the way over here. While he had faced opponents who felt this way in the past… few of them matched that which the woman was giving him now. It was not necessarily bloodlust. It was not necessarily that she wished to hurt him. Rather… it was simply the desire to use her body for its purpose.

"...huh. Doesn't that sound familiar…" He off-handedly remarked, closing his eyes for a moment while his bones assaulted her. He silently observed his bone being smashed by her fist, causing for it to warp and rend. At last, it shattered, the power that held it together dispersing. "Yeah, can't say that I've never seen better." He told her honestly, though within that tone was the tiniest hint of a taunt. He was not particularly trying to rile her up; but there was some banter which he simply could not ignore. "The kind of punch I prefer tends to have watermelon in it."

She was running at him again as he spoke, his eyes watching her as she approached him, her arms spread wide. Step, step, step, step… The rhythm… Finally, his body vanished, his head having leaned back to the side. He could feel the vibrations she was letting off, and while they did shake him a bit… they also worked to his advantage as he dropped the little pellets from his coat's pockets.

Her rhythm that she had used… it had resulted in the bones being directly beneath her. Now, two of the bones expanded from their pellet forms, like seeds sprouting from her feet. They went in opposite directions, moving outwards and spreading her lower half. In this position, defending would likely be a bit more… difficult.

This was highly relevant, due to the fact that two spears had appeared on either side of the Skeleton. These bones were sharp, and they went directly for her head… either side of it, to be precise. However, they moved in a cross pattern, making it seem as if both of them were going for either side of her face. Meanwhile… the last seed that Sonny had left, directly behind her, went off. This one shot explosively outwards, firing another seed from atop itself. The explosion of the second seed occurred inches away from her head, and would likely smash the back of her skull, rattling it by quite a good bit.

Speaking of skulls, the skeleton's own had been rather winded from her attack, even though he had set up how he had. His body was sent careening to the side, one skeletal palm pushing out as it pressed on the ground. He weighed practically nothing, so he merely pushed off the ground, thinking about the words she had stated in the midst of his trap springing. "Can't say I have." Sonny told her honestly, his slippers sliding back on the ground as he corrected himself. "This'll be my first time." He said, a bit sarcastically, the left eye winking while he continued to smile. "Surprisingly, ladies like yourself won't usually throw me a bone.So be gentle, would ya?" He requested, also sarcastically.

She looks silly.

That was the only thought that Sonny could process , one hand coming over his mouth as he doubled over. He took her declaration very seriously, but it was just too much. Of course, it also gave Sonny the time to prepare himself as another eight seeds scattered about his body in an almost star-shaped pattern, but still, the small laughter was genuine. After all, the pose that she gave held such sincerity to it; it was perfect, in its own little way.

"Alright, Superwoman." He finally said, his laughter dying down as he stood up straight again, his hands having returned to his pockets. Honestly, it was funny. Sonny was having fun; he could not deny that. These two, while the kid seemed like a bit of a wet blanket, he also seemed to at least have a sense of humor. And this woman seemed to get way more joy out of making rattling attacks then actually ensuring that her blows connected. Could she have figured out…? Nah… couldn't've… So Sonny would simply await their next attempt at an attack…

While his eyes remained on that distant battlefield. How long, I wonder…? How long will we have before even this fun little time is interrupted by that sinister darkness…? The people… they are evacuating… but… they're also being adversely effected, just by our presence here… That's terrible…

Even though he was smiling, the little skeleton… couldn't always laugh.

Henrex smiled under the scarf when he heard Kimiyo's name, but it quickly turned to a frown. Luckily, she couldn't see his mouth, since he still had his face covered. But the disappointment in his eyes would be a clear as day, since this woman lived for battle. Something Henrex didn't. He sighed and then his cheeks turned slightly red when she said that word. Beautiful. Henrex mumbled something, hoping she didn't hear. "Beautiful sure is right..." His blush faded soon after Sonny began talking once more. His name......did it mean something ironic, or something cool? Hm. Neither.

Henrex rolled his eyes when Sonny Ray commented on his name. Henrex Astillon....his last name always brought back the worst memory. His family, and everyone he had ever cared about had burned. His name meant nothing. His eyes slowly changed to sadness as his mind was set on this. He looked at the Arrancar, his eyes narrowing. He would tell him the meaning of his name...and what it used to mean. "My name...means nothing. It used to signify that I was the heir to the Astillon Family, but now, no longer. My name means nothing now. Merely a whisper of memories." Henrex said, his eyes hardening. He said the meaning of his name, what more did he want from him? His eyes looked around the area the were in, searching for any possible sneak attacks that he could pull with his bone manipulation.

He took a step forward, but as he did, he watched as two spears formed around him, speeding towards either side of Kimiyo's head. Henrex immediately took action, slashing at the spears, not intending to break them, but simply to knock them off course with her head. He had only managed to knock one of them off it's path, before landing on the ground, then moving back to where he was standing just moments ago. "Did you really think I wouldn't interfere when my ally was in danger. Even if she could handle herself, it doesn't hurt to help."

He slowly began to hover in the air, pointing his sword at Sonny, before a seeping black color began to converse to the tip of his sword, before it fires in a cone-like beam of spiritual energy. As it fired Henrex whispered out the name of his technique. "Piercing......Shadows..."The beam of energy would surge towards it's intended target, the skeletal Arrancar. If it hit, it would do damage, with no debuffs, since this was a very basic attack, similar to a sword strike. If it missed, however, the blast would create a large crater in the milky white surface of the Moon, with small shards of rock flying from the blast of energy. After this, Henrex would speed towards Sonny, slashing furiously left and right, favoring speed at this moment, thinking that if he was fast enough, he couldn't dodge fast enough.

He made one final attack, one that would prove difficult to pull off, but he twisted his body in a very odd way, before quickly performing a double-diagonal cut. A kesagiri attack. One of the basic sword lessons Henrex learned as a Human, it proved to be very useful in some situations. Once he had performed this final attack, he flew high into the air, then fired another beam of spiritual energy, which was another blast of his skill, Piercing Shadows. After this barrage of attacks, Henrex landed once more, unsure of what the outcome of his attack was. "I think...I got him..."

For such a pudgy figure, their opponent sure was an elusive one, his movements as unreadable as her own by naked eyesight. She attacked from the left and the right simultaneously, but he'd wormed his way down beneath the attack before disappearing from view. These swift types usually always counter-attacked immediately after a successful dodge, trying to take advantage of the momentary lapse after an attack was made. If Kimiyo didn't already understand this tactic, she'd be a much easier target for the skeleton man, but as it was her body was certainly ready. As the spear-tipped bones rode a collision course for the side of her head, she instinctively felt the harmful intent—of what would happened if the tips pierced her head. This was Kimiyo's primary method of sensing her enemies and their attacks, built into her passion for battle.

She would make the actions to protect herself, of course, reaching to parry both attacks at once with her hands, despite the interference of her newfound ally. She was slightly surprised as a blade whistled past her raven hair, rebounding against one of the ivory spear and redirecting its trajectory. One of Kimiyo's hands grasped at empty air while the bone completely missed her as a result of Henrex's sword swipe. Thus, as she caught the other she was able to bring her free hand over to help stop the attack in its place more easily. Kimiyo flooded her arms with Chi energy, amplifying her own impressive strength even further for a brief moment, long enough to bend the elongated bone and eventually snap the tip right off with a sickening crack. Now in her possession was a makeshift lance, and one she certainly was thinking of using right back on her opponent.

What Kimiyo didn't expect was the third and final attack from behind; although she felt the attack coming, she had been preoccupied with her prior actions, leaving her wide open from the unorthodox bomb to explode directly adjacent to her head. She turned around just in time to receive the brunt of it, sending her stumbling back as her body seemed to fall backward. Shards of the bone made small cuts in her white button-up shirt, but it was unclear how much damage had been done to her actual body... at first. Just as it seemed like she was going to fall backwards, she straightened back up with a firm stomp on the ground, whipping her head face-forward to give a cocky smile to her assailant. There were... no visible injuries on her flawless skin whatsoever!

Spinning the osseous spear like a baton in her hand, she delivered a hubristic one-liner in a way that most assuredly determined that she didn't even consider that an attack. ''Oi, now! I don't want you staining my beautiful face with those abilities of yours... I have to look nice for my job~'' To punctuate her sentence, she stopped the gyrations of the weapon she was wielding, and then began to aim it with the intention of throwing it. Right foot back, left foot forward; the spear was on a track and Kimiyo would propel it with the entirety of her body backing it. Such strength sent it flying at a breakneck pace, leaving little time to dodge... yet the point at which she aimed was distinctly to her target's center left rather than directly at him. The projectile would act as a wall, shepherding him in the opposite direction.

Kimiyo herself was the other projectile, the other wall to trap him in between. She kept equal pace with her own thrown spear, and would meet up with the skeleton at the same time the projectile would pierce the space to his left... all in quick succession. It was this precise moment when his movements were limited that Kimiyo made her attack, curving her right arm into a hook and purposefully sending it high at his head to deliver onto him a destructive lariat... and yet even that Kimiyo didn't entirely mean to connect with. Her attack was aimed at an upper part of his body to encourage him to duck, just as the spear was thrown to guide him towards her. It was a cage—Kimiyo's body and the spear made the walls, while the arm made a ceiling. Most likely, she would be driving the skeleton into a small space between all these attacks.

If all went according to plan, then Kimiyo would be standing above a crouching skeleton man, who was no doubt trying to get away from this tight spot. However, it was this outcome that the Goddess of Battle was waiting for, a time when she could pounce upon her prey from an advantage. ''Mystic Art of the Shuryou House: Arctic Gust!'' she enunciated enthusiastically, practically panting with the excitement of catching him. Upon the last syllable of her technique's name Kimiyo would release a powerful exhalation that quickly transformed into an ability of its own. A visible mist expanded outward in a cone in front of her, capable of catching the skeleton no matter which direction he moved from his current location. If he had skin, he would most surely be getting goosebumps once the glacial gust flowed over him, but as it was he would find his bones chilled to a point of being difficult to move—the joints wouldn't bend, and the tissue would become brittle while a coating of frost formed over them. Kimiyo had utilized a technique of ice, in an attempt to weaken and immobilize her swift opponent.

''Hmhmmm~ Time to break a leg!'' Immediately after the trap was laid, Kimiyo would send a sharp kick directly at the part of the body she just called out, the force more than enough to shatter it into pieces while it was turned fragile by the ice. ''I also hope you don't mind fighting me unarmed!'' Another blow, attempting to smash another limb of his to pieces. After that...? Kimiyo would stop herself, and step back. She would go all out at first, out of her desire to have a good fight. It was the possibility that she was able to win too easily, without the skeleton man being able to respond to it, that she wanted to avoid most of all. That is why she would stop, if it seemed like he was already defeated.

''Come on, what's next? What's up that sleeve of yours?''

Tue May 03, 2016 7:32 pm

The little skeleton man blinked, taking a breath in before letting out, gently shaking his head from left to right. "Kinda useless as a name then, right…?" Sonny told the space around them, his hands reaching up to shrug.

"Kid… you got your own problems to worry about." Sonny said, his right hand drawing out of his jacket as it flicked twice… causing two bones to emerge. One of them went for Henrex's torso, while the other went spinning at his legs. Behind them, another two bones would emerge, going in alternate directions, attempting to smash into his right shoulder going down and beneath his left arm going up. If he wasn't careful, he would be knocked well off balance as a result, leaving Sonny standing there watching him, his own body as lax as could be.

His attention, however, was piqued a bit by the sudden emergence of energy from the kid's sword tip. Huh… didn't think he had it in him… Sonny thought to himself, the blast racing forwards before it smashed into Sonny, going through his body…

And then the afterimage disappeared, leaving Sonny standing next to the blast. He was on the exact edge of the radius, as if saying that he had done the absolute minimum required to dodge the attack. Sonny watched the male approaching, his slippers rapidly moving as he smoothly dodged the first attack, then the second… his feet sliding around as he evaded another by a wide margin, two seeds appearing between his skeletal fingers as he finally took a step back, not a single one of the attacks having met their target, though it appeared as if one had slashed at the right side of his jacket.

"Pretty dangerous, kid…" Sonny commented, that smile still on his face as he let loose each of the chips, causing for two large bones to explode outwards, blocking against Henrex's double slash, and likely causing for large vibrations to go crashing up his arms from the impact, possibly stunning him.

At last, Sonny could feel that energy fueling up again, the male having backed away. "Someone could get hurt, ya know?" He mentioned, before the incoming attack shot into the ground, creating another crater, Sonny's feet just outside of its radius. His gaze turned over to the woman... who was now holding a spear of bone.

"You really know how to get to the point." He said lightheartedly, feeling his other opponent approaching. It seemed his delayed attacks had dealt with her long enough to prevent Sonny from having to fight two people simultaneously. He could try to, of course… but it drastically reduced his chances of emerging unscathed.

Sonny looked at the approaching spear, his hands tucked tightly into his pockets. Looking directly at it, a wave of his own spiritual energy emerged, so small that it seemed non-existent to all but the most well-trained of sensors… not because it was trying to hide, but because of how miniscule it was. The spear shot straight for its target… until Sonny's right hand shot out to the side. In that instant, it was dragged rapidly off course, Sonny gripping only the head with his energy and 'moving' it to the side. This changed its angle enough for it to go past his head, but he could already feel the effects of such a small action.

Three small beads of sweat emerged on the outside of his skull as a result. Because of this action, however, the spear went the opposite direction of where she had wanted, and he did not move as a result. As a result, the spear was on the same side as Kimiyo's body, allowing for Sonny to turn to face her as he back stepped, watching the spear collide with her, or at least attempt to. Her incoming attack was met with Sonny's body dipping to the side, now allowing for her attacks to 'guide him' a bit. He could tell what she was doing; from the moment she had stepped along with the spear as if to box him in, he had suspected as much.

However, around her body, where she would end up… Sonny had left her with a little present. "Terra Art of the Calcium Mage: Ejection." He told her in response… as lines of bones burst outwards. A small amount of chill got around Sonny's front and arms, but the bones that pressed against his slippers allowed for him to smoothly let his body fall, smoothly backing away from her without getting in the way of her arm. The bones were pressed against his slippers, and he himself was sliding effortlessly, as if he had jumped just the smallest bit to remove himself from friction.

Meanwhile, her attack at his leg did not go unnoticed. One of the bones which had emerged was shattered, Sonny's foot beginning to move backwards with her incoming force, dodging it completely. Sonny's left arm reached out, grabbing the underside of her leg as his foot slid far outwards. Pressing all into his legs, he used her momentum to completely flip her over, likely causing for her to fall completely backwards from the return of her own power.

The final blow thrashed out at Sonny's side, his body sidestepping the tiniest bit. Again, the force of the attack nearly blew him off balance, but his left foot edged onto the ground, slightly reasserting himself once again…

His hands had slid back into his pockets, and the eye of his slowly looked downwards, as if in contemplation of her words. "...Why do you hold back?" He asked her honestly, before his focus turned back to her once again. ...Is it out of compassion for me, her enemy…? Is it for the battlelust…? He wondered to himself as he slowly drew the hands out of his pockets, looking towards the sky, before sidelong at her.

"...I'm gonna make it rain."

With those words, his hands would open as he released both of his hands into the sky. From different points on his palms, bones flew up into the air. Rising and soaring high above the sky…

They burst.

The bones expanded from their seeds, smashing into each other as gravity took its hold upon them. Some of them came down horizontally, some diagonally, some vertically. Some were spinning from contact, others were simply falling. As a result of this attack, the first wave of them would smash directly into where Kimiyo was standing, as well as Henrex. The most likely dodging patterns -- to her left and immediate right, as well as directly behind -- were assaulted nearly a moment later, while the distance between herself and Sonny was then assaulted.

Meanwhile, Sonny himself had leapt onto one of the larger bones, his feet moving with agility as he ran along the bones length, rising upwards. He maintained awareness of his opponents position, and from where he had thrown the bones… there would only be three harmless paths. The first was the one that he was currently taking; the other two both lead directly forwards from the pair of them, causing for them to move towards where Sonny had just been standing. The bones would pile on thicker all around them, and the path would not be obvious; they would need to be aware of where the bones were about to fall to understand where they needed to go.

Meanwhile, the skeleton looked at them from his current position, his right hand reaching out. Again, that energy of his whipped out, although this time its targets were much smaller. Tiny pellets rose up into the air in a whirlwind pattern as they emerged around Kimiyo's body, Sonny's hand mimicking their circular motion… before they burst as well.

Shards of bone shot outwards, attempting to slam into her from eight different angles. Each one attacked in a different location, but most of them would end up somewhere on her torso or hips, though the one that was directly in front of her face would go straight for between her eyes. Sonny, meanwhile, panted from his place at the top of his little mausoleum of bones, feeling the vibrations from the cracking bones… as well as a strange rattling in his teeth.

The slight cold that she had dealt to him was causing his entire body to shiver. He was chilled, down to the bone. While it was still bearable… his left arm had been unable to move after throwing those seeds into the air, and was now tucked into his pocket, trying to get warm again…

"...Huh… sorry about that, nothing's up my sleeves… probably." He told her, seeming as if he did not care a bit about the damage that had been dealt to him so far. The fact of the matter was, however, that he had been pretty badly effected by the small amount of the attack she had given him, as well as how much moving of things he had done with his energy.

He was not sure for how much he could go like this… but he wanted to at least satisfy her, if he could.

Thu May 12, 2016 6:26 pm

Pain. The only thing Henrex could feel after he had made his kesagiri attack. He arms were shaking. He had barely seen the bones that slammed into his arms, causing vibrations to ripple up and down his arms, forcing him to drop his sword, which then buried itself into the ground. He wasn't worried though. No one could pick up his Zanpakutō aside from him. If anyone tried to pick it up, the sword would feel as if it weighed as much as the entire world. He wasn't even worried about dropping it. He could call it back to his hand with simple gestures. His Zanpakutō was finicky like that with who held him. He only wanted to be wielded by his master.

Henrex flicked his wrist to the side, causing the katana wedged into the ground to wiggle, then fly out of the Moon's surface, and into his hand. But the moment he gripped his sword, he saw something flash from above him. What was that skeleton doing? His eyes drifted upwards and they became as large as coins. Bones were falling from the black void above them that was space.

Henrex immediately leapt to his feet, kicking himself forward, lifting himself a few feet off the ground and flying as fast as he could. This was bad. He had a shielding move, but it could only last so long against the onslaught of bones from above. His fast flying managed for him to get to where Kimiyo was. His sword began to glow black as spiritual energy was generated onto the blade. He had to act quickly, or they would be in a bigger world of pain than they would be in now. The black spiritual energy that had formed on his blade now shot outwards above Henrex and Kimiyo, forming a pure black barrier above them. This barrier was made from Henrex's own spiritual energy, and it would last for a bit, depending on the individual strength of these bones.

Henrex felt the impact of the bones send shudders throughout his very soul. As he felt the impacts of the bones slamming against his Shadow Barrier, he then felt something slam into his side. It was more bones. Henrex's eyes widened not only in panic, but of pain as he heard a sickening crack in his side. A rib had been broken. Henrex felt the end of the bone hook onto the back on his shihakusho, tearing a good portion of it off of him, while dragging him with it, and hurling him to the ground. His pale, scarred, and strangely marked body had now been revealed.

His barrier that was previously over his and Kimiyo's head now vanished into black shadows, before dissipating. Henrex grabbed his side and winced in pain as the full effect of a broken rib hit him. Immense pain shot through his entire body as he slowly stood up. The area where he had received the impact started changing color from the normal pale, to a nasty black and blue.

That impact really did a number on him, and it hurt like hell. His sword returned to his sheath as Henrex dropped it, then snapped his fingers, and he clenched his teeth. He was even sure if he could keep fighting like this. But he had to keep going. For Soul Society....to get stronger....avenge his murdered kin....to make both his Captain proud and possibly even this girl impressed. He wouldn't give up from a fucking broken bone! Unless he dropped dead, he wouldn't give up! Henrex slowly took another step forward, and then another. After a few immensely painful steps, he was now next to Kimiyo once more.

LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC WHILE YOU READ THIS PART OF THE POST!

He looked at Sonny Ray, with his eyes calm. He slowly moved his hand from his side towards his sword, flicking his thumb up, revealing almost an inch of the blade of his sword. A black mist began to flow from the sheath of his sword, and swamped the entire area. Everyone's vision in the area would be obstructed.....except for Henrex. His Cyberbrain activated once more, allowing him to activate his Night Vision in his Cyberbrain. He then tweaked the settings in it so that he would now be able to see through his own spiritual shadows, which had formed into this mist, which was named "Mist of Darkness".

He vanished.

Henrex's body slowly disappeared. Another ability of his Cyberbrain had just activated. Shadow Camouflage. This made his body bend the light around him, rendering him invisible. After his body vanished, he walked forward, drawing his sword. Time to stop playing around. Now...time to get serious. Henrex slowly began to walk around the area of where Sonny Ray was. His quiet voice fit perfectly with what he had just done to the area. It was now dismal. It was dark. It was....unsettling. His voice echoed around the skeletal Arrancar, in hushed, quiet whispers. "I think it's time I stopped playing around....wouldn't you agree?"

His quiet voice would, if it disturbed the Arrancar, would send shivers down their spine. This was Henrex's goal. To creep him out. To unnerve him. And, hopefully, to make him lower his guard enough to attack...

Henrex's body formed once more, safely hidden under the cover of the shadow mist. He slowly, and quietly lifted his sword in front of him. He was directly in front of him. There was no possible way that he could see him. A black sphere of energy began to converse towards the tip of his sword once more. Piercing Shadows was being used once more. Henrex slowly bit his lip as he poured more power into this attack. He was going to use every last bit of energy he could use for this.

It released.

The blast on the tip of his sword zoomed off of the blade, the speed of the attack piercing even the shadowy mist, causing the space around it to part and flow out. The blast zoomed towards Sonny Ray, threatening to blow a hole through him if the attack were to hit. Henrex lowered his sword, his brow beginning to bead with sweat. He had used near all of his energy for that final attack. He was spent. There was nothing else he could do, aside from basic sword swipes. Not like that would do anything. The mist that had covered the entire area now began to retreat into his sheath, making the area clear once more. Henrex tiredly took to the air, hovering mere feet from the ground as he used the last of his remaining strength to lift his sword in a guarding position. He wasn't even sure if he could guard another attack. His side was flaring pain, his spiritual energy was spent, and his strength was at his limits....

Okay, since Trim is pretty much on leave, you all can skip her and decide what happens to her character. Henrex or JJ can choose what occurs at this point since it's up to them

Ho'kay, since JJ is on a leave, and Trim is on a leave, it can be assumed that the two characters went off in the distance and fought against each other in a battle which went unrecorded. The results of it would ended in a tie and each side would have been sent back to their respective homes. Meanwhile, Henrex can go ahead and claim this Sector for protags if someone does not contest him by the time Monday comes. He can start posting now.
