Return To The Wastelands

Colin looked around, wondering what could be holding Stefan. He sighed, looking at the ground. He was sitting down, on a flat rock about two feet off the ground. An hour ago it hadn't been flat or two feet tall. It had been a boulder, sticking up out of the sand 6 feet tall. Colin had walked up to it, looking for a place to sit. He pulled his zanpakto from its sheathe and with a single slash, problem solved. He sat down, glad to be off his feet, and began to wait. He and Stefan had agreed to meet here to train. It was free of any bystanders and Colin didn't really care what happened to the place. He suddenly jerked up, sensing something. It was odd. He was sure something was... well... odd. He focused, picking up three energy waves. One... was Stefan's, he was pretty sure. Its about freakin' time. What about those other two? I've never felt anything like them. One felt... out of this world. It was the closest to Colin. Stefan was behind that, and behind Stefan... Colin frowned. Huh. It's too far away. I can't even tell what it is, much less identify who. He got up, drawing his zanpakto. Something was very wrong, that much he could tell. Well, at least this will be interesting. He began to concentrate, focusing his power, ready to do whatever, whenever. If he needed shikai or bankai, he would use it. If he needed his mask, he would use it. He was ready for anything, including whatever these other 3 power signatures brought. He waited for the first signature to appear, asking

"Hello, my name is Colin. Might I ask you what you're doing here?I came here to train with someone I know, and we were going to use this place. Unless, of course, you would like to train also?"

Toki Iramasha is not known to be a person to roam but today it seems that he ends up in the place called the wastelands as he swiftly deafeated a few minor hollows it seems that he sensed other much greater powers in the area. It intrigued him that there were revealing themselvesw if they were hollows because he sensed a bit in it. But why was the question he did feel like investigating it but why not as he dashed across the wasteland. Most likely it was other allies in this wasteland as well but why was it feeling as they were coming closer to him as he was also getting closer to him, it was indeed strange. With a bit of tome he chaos warped himself to the meeting point.

As he came out of the warp he noticed that the person was a Vizard and that was why he seemed hollow like because he had no mask fragments and it seemed he had a zanpakuto. So a ally,but the final thing was how he introduced himself. He seemed to say that his name was Colin. He also said in his introduction that he had come here to train and was wonder what he was doing here. But to end it he invited him to join him and this other person in training with his luck it was another Vizard. It techiqueally woulb be good to do combat again a vizard or two since he has never before.

"I'm Toki Iramasha, as for what I'm doing here well I'm just dealing with the hollows as my job for the day, since I'm a elite member of the Iramasha guard. As for training with you I'll gladly do so since I'm not such experinced in dealing with combat againist a vizard." he told Colin.

With that he stopped talking and waited as the next person most likely arrived or was almost here anyway. As he also looked around ne noticed this was a great day to train not a cloud was in sight in this wasteland.

Return To The Wastelands Stefan_en

The burning sun made the Visoreds face glisten with a light layer of sweat. His multi-layer clothing made the heat much worse for him, though not unbearable. The green-haired man had agreed to a quick sparring match with a kid Visored he had fought once before. Even though they were part of organizations that despised each other, Stefan respected the fact that Colin kept trying to get stronger and stronger.

There last battle had ended in Stefan having some moderate damage and a large gash, and Colin being knocked out and major damage, though Stefan had helped him recover. Though apparently, Colin has recently gained his Bankai. Something Stefan was sure hoping to test his against....that last battle had helped him obtain major Bankai control. His Bankai type was an entire transformation and many new abilities instead of just one attack. He had pride in his power, as his mask worked perfectly with his Bankai, giving him incredible sword skill. Though, Colin was no push over himself.

Stefan just hoped the young Visored had found something to fight for. The reason to fight was what kept people alive....if you fight for something foolish, you will die. if you fight for something that controls your entire life, you may still be killed by your own determination. Stefan believed fighting for yourself and for nothing is better than fighting for others.

Stefan took his time in reaching the area where Colin resided. Though he sensed other beings, he ignored them. He reach Colin, and it appeared as though he had been greeted by someone else as well. After 20 or so minutes, he stood and stared at the two. Though, now there were 3 people there.

Are you ready to face your fate?

Death may be my only freedom..

-------------------

Come on, let's rock.

-------------------

The Wastelands.. a desolate and deserted span of land that rivaled Hueco Mundo in how incredibly large and empty it was. There were no "sights" to see, no major landmarks to awe at, and no great powers to marvel. Despite this, many battles had seem to have been fought here. Why was that? The main reason is obvious, no people around to injure in battle, no obstacles to have to clear, no symbols of hope to destroy. But was that the true reason? Maybe it was a pride thing. No real place to hide or run, nothing obscuring your vision of the opponent.. a more prideful battle. A one-on-one showdown of sorts. The flat terrain and lack of obstructions make it seem more like a noble battle, a more.. samura-esque duel between the fighters.

It was here that there would be a battle. Two people versus two people. Although, none of them knew that they were going to be involved yet. And why would they suspect? What possible reason would they have to suspect that today, in such an empty place, they would be fighting for their lives?

One of the four was a noble being. One of the four had never before seen the wastelands, but had wanted to visit, an odd sort of place to want to go, but dry and desolate didn't just describe the wastelands, it also described the personality of the person in question. No ordinary person, the one being referred to, is Kameko. Kameko Madoka-Sugiura. Why isn't she ordinary? You wouldn't be either if you were knight to the queen of the western sugiura clan. That position demanded both focus, and power beyond what most shinigami could attain. In fact, the two knights that currently existed were both captain strength, with Sayuri's knight, Hisashi, being high-captain level, and Kameko being the same strength. However, unlike Hisashi, Kameko had.. a few more tricks up her sleeve.

At any rate, the more interesting question would be, how did a Knight for such a powerful Sugiura end up in the wastelands? Such a desolate place is no fit environment for someone of that status, right?

Well the tale itself began that morning. As early as three in the a.m. Kameko, the green-haired knight herself, was working vigilantly, standing guard outside Misaiko's quarters and looking for any potential invaders. The very thought of anyone harming her queen made Kameko's blood boil.. same as anyone defiling her possessions. The night watch on the home security was not Kameko's favorite job, but it was still protecting her queen, so she was willing to keep at it no matter what. The night had begun uneventful, around midnight, when she took her post, and stayed that way through the minutes and hours as Kameko grew more and more tired. It wasn't that she was bored, she just hadn't slept in.. a while.. and it was starting to get to her. Her unprecedented endurance and stamina aside, she WAS getting tired. That's when it happened. At exactly three a.m., one of the trainees from the academy ran up, panting and wheezing from the effort of the five mile journey they just took on-foot from the academy to the royal house. Raising an eyebrow, Kameko turned to the man and stood at attention, faint traces of spiritual energy flowing around her hands like flower petals in the breeze as she prepared to summon her sacreds if necessary.

However, her paranoia was not needed, as the man was carrying no evil intent, but simply a message for Kameko herself. Kameko gladly accepted, and read the message in question. It read simply that she was relieved of guard duty for the night, and had another mission to partake, accepting this, Kameko went to the assigned place, taking about ten minutes, only to find a note that said: "Get some rest, you deserve it. I'll have Hisashi substitute since Sayuri's visiting her father. Besides, you have a real mission in the morning, so sleep." Kameko smiled slightly, she knew exactly who that was from.. Alright then, if that was the order. Proceeding home, Kameko proceeded to sleep off a good portion of the night, waking up to another note on her desk and a breakfast already made for her. A small giggle left her lips as her secret caretaker's identity rang true in her mind. She loved her job..

After reading up on her mission, a recon mission right outside of karakura town, she got ready. It was signature for her, the outfit she chose. A white robe-type shirt that looked eerily close to a strait jacket, and tight white pants with black boots. Her objective? Check on Karakura, see how things looked, and how everything was going. Making sure her seal was still in place, Kameko headed out the door. With the seal, it would feel to anyone around her as if she was but a lowly unseated shinigami of some kind. It did not inhibit any of her powers, but it lowered the amount of reiatsu that people felt from her exponentially. After that, it was a long journey of knight-step and walking before she reached the only way she knew how to get into the human world. The home of Sayuri De Louge Roi, the western royal palace. Walking inside, Kameko identified herself to the various guards, before entering Sayuri's room. Crossing to the back before stepping through the sugiura's prototype portal, lowering herself and creating a platform of her reiatsu to suspend herself in the air as she floated in the in-between, the black void that bridged the two worlds. Slipping her hands into the pockets of the robe, she walked forward, the platform of reiatsu in continuous creation in front of her as she did so, the platform parts behind her falling into the void. Before long, she reached the co-ordinates set to her, reaching up and tapping an area in the air as a rift opened up and Kameko stepped out into....

This.. wasn't karakura. Looking around, Kameko could see desert on all sides, not only that, but she felt three rather strong reiatsus close by. Perhaps.. they knew where she was? Pulling a hand out of her pocket, Kameko placed it above her eyes, shielding them from the sunlight as she walked, eventually reaching the source of the reiatsus. She detected.. Iramasha, for sure.. and then.. two vizards? The real question was.. what side was each on..?

Stepping forward into plain sight of the three, she slipped her hand back into her pocket, staring around the group and examining each one of them as she spoke, eyebrow raised slightly. "Excuse me.. would any of you mind telling me where I am? Or perhaps.. who you people are? What you're doing here, to me, is irrelevant. I assure you, I mean no harm unless you decide to attack me, at which point I will take action to subdue whoever makes the move in question." Kameko looked at them curiously. Was it possible that one of them was, in fact, going to attack her? Looking around what might end up being her battlefield, Kameko could verify that she did not want to get into a fight here. If she had to release her reiatsu in such a place.. who knows what kind of creatures could come sniffing around trying to get a piece of her? Besides.. it's not like any of these three were truly evil enough to just attack her. Then again, she had seen far too much to rule out that possibility. It wasn't so much possible as it was probable.. Or.. could all three of them be evil? Would she be stuck in a three-on-one in this situation? She.. really hoped it wouldn't come to that.. These three definitely felt strong and if she had to use knight form.. she might not make it out of this desert. The reiatsu-cost of using that form drained her dry after only an hour or so.. she most definitely didn't want to have to use that.. although if it came down to her life being on the line, she most likely would.. The only person she would give her life in battle for was her queen, Misaiko. Definitely not these people.

The only thing she could do.. was wait.

Colin looked at the three new faces, 2 of which he had never even seen before. An iramasha? I've heard of them, only heard of them, never personally seen one before. You didn't get to be a wanderer for hundreds of years without learning about what was happening in the world. And a member of the elite guard as well. So then, looks like he must be fairly strong. Colin wondered how they fought, as he had heard that they were quite powerful, some of the strongest beings in existence. Well, they don't have to deal with a monster inside them to be defined as iramasha, do they? Colin sighed, focusing again as Stefan appeared.

"Stefan. Looks like we have got company here. This iramasha has agreed to train with us and behind you my eye detected one more being. And Toki Iramasha, thank you for giving us this chance to train with you as well. We shall begin as soon as this last being arrives."

Colin focused his cybernetic eye, examining the being as it stepped in front of him. He frowned. Things don't add up. My eye is telling me she is quite weak, but she holds herself like an experienced fighter. Odd. Colin listened closely to what she had to say.

"Do not fear. We are here only to train, and grow stronger. If you would like you may join us."

Colin stopped talking for just a moment as an idea wormed into his head.

"How about this. If the miss here would care to join us, this is what I propose. How about a 2v2 match. Me and Stefan against Toki Iramasha and the lady. Speaking of which, I don't think we caught your name?" Colin said, gesturing towards the only female of the group.

Then Colin, after hearing the response, would clap his hands together, looking excited.

"Now, here's the rules. This will be a 2 vs 2 match. Both fighters on each team will be active at the same time, kind of like a battle royale. There will be no killing, if you can help it. Also no permanent maiming, as there is no point to that other than cruelty. The goal is for the opposite team knocked uncouncious, or to say they give up. In any case, this will be fun. Ok then, shall we begin?"

After hearing everyone in the groups answer, Colin leapt backwards, releasing his shikai.

Toki Iramasha
Elite Member, Iramasha Guard

Toki watched as each other person arrived to scene in which they would be doing combat. Of courseeach of them were the powers he was picking up earlier. As he looked at Stefan he could already tell that this was the other Vizard and as for the girl well he couldn't tell exactly who or what she was at the moment but by how she question about where she was it slowly eliminated who she could be. By how she said she would only those who strike her first made him presume not a demon or arrancar and by not knowing about the wasteland eliminated human or quincy. As for shinigami she is not wearing the uniform or Zanpakuto. so that left Iramasha, Vizard, or Suguira.

Toki answered he question of where she was and who he was since Colin the vizard left that out of his.

"You have nothing to fear you are in a place on earth called the wastelands, as for being attacked well I'm elite guardsman of the Iramasha, Toki as for the other two they are Vizards from the corps." he told her.

After Colin explained the rules he responded."ok, then."

After than and everyone else responding it seems that Colin was already for combat by entering his Shikai. It was quite a transformation for him it was interesting but it told Toki that he used his zanpakuto releases more than other skills like kidou or basic sword fighting. This was going to be fun and how much better way to do it than with a chaos move suited for Colin.

"A peice of advice, Colin for you are already using one of your few releases as for me I won't be releaseing until needed. As for now watch my birds eat away at your feathers. Chaos Flurry!" As he was saying that the held his hand out and chaos energy shot out of it to form twelve birds made of chaos energy with colors of blue and white.

Ten of the birds raced at Colin at high speeds but as for the other two they stayed close until commanded to go else where. After that Toki watched both Stefan to make his first move and for the one known as Colin to react and show him what his Shikai can do.

The green-haired man known as Stefan waited and watched as the 4th person reached their group. This was beginning to look less and less like a one on one sparring session, and more like an all-out brawl. He would probably take the other Visored's side, considering their history together, but he would also be ready for a battle royale as well. They all appeared to be fighters of good though, so worst-case scenario, they all team up on Stefan. As he wasnt a "good guy", so to speak. After the others acquianted themselves, Stefan decided it was his turn to speak.

"Greetings fair maiden. You're a long way from home, arent ya' girl? I am the lone wanderer, mysterious swordsman, killer of the weak, green-haired legend, but you, you may call me Stefan. Stefan Soan, Royal Guard Commander of the Monsuta, to be exact. Its a pleasure to meet a beauty such as you, in such a desolate place. Which, by the way, begs the question, why ARE you here anyway? Lost perhaps? Either way, allow me the privelage to escort you to whatever location you seek, after I dispose of this man, of course." -turning to Colin- "Oh, and Colin, I hope you have found something to fight for, otherwise, your resolve shall crumble to the ground like a thousand year wall."

Stefan began to think back to their last fight. Even though it hadn't been that long, young Colin has grown quite a bit. Stefans newfound respect for Colin led him to his next action. The green-haired man watched as Colin released his Shikai so soon in the battle, something only an inexperienced child would do. Suddenly, the Iramasha created a multitude of fake birds made of energy, and sent most toward Colin. Stefan would have none of it. Stefan grabbed an object appearing to be a silver sword hit, from his belt, and pressed a small button the botton. An entire swords blade shot out of the top, quickly turning the object into a metallic katana.

Once the energy birds reached Stefan, he shot forward in a flash, appearing to slice at the birds as he did so, and then brought his right elbow back, shooting a Cero out of it at the same time, towards any remaining birds. All of which, had been done in one fluid motion. Stefan turned his body towards the Iramasha.

"You're gonna have to do better than that if you hope to even lay a finger on us. Come, let us end this childs play."

While Stefan was speaking, his sword had been glowing a deep, jet black color, radiating energy. He slashed his blade, releasing a massive, wide-ranging arc shaped Cero at the Iramasha, and quicly followed up by using Sonido to get to Toki before the dust settled, and inciting a long-winded flurry of sword strikes, and stabs alike. After whipping his sword to and fro, he disappeared, and reappeared next to Colin.

Because of Zero bitching about me not posting, even though I have a damn good excuse for being inactive, Kameko has now left the thread.

Have fun with your 2 on 1.
