A Thousand Words; Radioactive vs Ghislain

His training was complete and something about their last meeting had gone well. Ghislain had been training hard for this moment as he sat in this place. He wondered if the Shark would remember where this was. It was one of the few times during the war that the Quincy and Shinigami fought in the Soul Society. He wasn't sure how often that invasion and annihilation occurred but this was one battle spot. As he walked among the areas remembering how many shinigami and Quincy lost here. This was one of the key battles he remembered somewhat. It wasn't long after that Radioactive was let loose. Or maybe it was something planned to happen. He didn't know entirely what the purpose or plan was coming here. In his older days, he wasn't sure either as he looked at his hand. To become the arrow instead of just shooting it, that was the objective. Ghislain knew well enough he could push past this limitation on him. No choice came easily when you knew the price was lives as a strategist. Figuring out the answer and hoping to lose as little as possible.

Pride also played a big factor as he knelt down a bit and glanced at it. Strange that he would pick a place like this to continue the thing. This was to be the place he would fight Radioactive and study here. It wasn't as though he intended for it to end this way. Ghislain wasn't doing this for revenge at all. He needed someone to push him who could do massive amounts. Because what he wished to attempt was going to be putting his life on the line. He could absorb his own but he needed to go beyond that. Radiation didn't work on him because of his powers. So his plan wasn't one he could say he expected to go perfectly. But this was the only solution to the problem he could think of. He could feel it inside of himself now as he closed his eyes. Potential energy just waiting for an escape route. The question was how did he let it out in terms of escape. Ghislain hasn't bound to a singular move again. Everything else would be seen as secondary now.

But could he win against the Strongest Shinigami in the world? Desmond and Mana's fights replayed in his mind keenly as he watched them. The war the fighting was different back then too. It was a completely different animal from fighting now. It was a good place to put the past into its ground. Ghislain didn't intend to stay attached to those moves or beliefs from before. Elizabeth knew him well from the time they first married and always said he had trouble letting go. Live or die he would let go of the situations that bound him. Ghislain was going to evolve into something else or die trying here. His plan wasn't complete or perfect in the slightest. His ideal of becoming the arrow of trapping potential energy within. Then using it as he pleased to bolster his current power or grow somewhere beyond it. He was only beginning to understand the situation as he had intentions to take training to the next level. He needed to study and understand the energy of each place intimately.

It was almost time for time for him to arrive as Ghislain emptied himself of his anger and emotion. They both worked for the Vanguard at this moment. He needed Radioactive's help to overcome a wall he'd encountered. One that he was willing to risk injuries beyond anything else. Ghislain was willing to put everything on the line to become a new person. To find his way of becoming the arrow. His pride wouldn't allow failure, not again in this life. Elizabeth knew her Husband well enough to know Quincy Pride did exist. He and she both had it in what they accomplished and did. Ghislain was ready to face the man at this place. A Thousand Words had been spoken without even speaking about this battle from just standing here. Ghislain was ready for this encounter as he could be.
