A Roman Battle. (private)

Colin looked around, wondering where he was. He had just touched down after flying over the ocean in a plane. He didn't like it one bit. Planes were always just so cramped and painful for him. He would've flown if he wasn't meeting here with someone. He looked around the Roman Coloseum, a fitting place for this battle. Colin reached back, grabbing the edge of his hat between two fingers. He gave it a flick, and a breeze from behind rested it softly on his head. He was meeting with a human, a strange one, to be certain. His spitirtual pressure was out; it would take any other humans that approached the arena from the outstide in would want to leave; as they instictively wouldn't want to approach the area. Colin was fairly certain this man would be alright in it; but he couldn't be sure.

He was here for a spar; he was out of practice when it came to battling humans. It had been so long since his last fight with one; he had a terrible feeling that in the times ahead he would be outgunned and outmatched due to his little experience. So, here he was, reflecting on Rome's history. He knew that the Roman Gods were the Greek's with a bit of change in the name. He also knew that the embodiement of Zeus, or Jupiter, was an embodiment of sky to the Romans. He slid out Windscar, holding the flat of the blade as a shield on his eyes from the sun.

Ironic then, that his chosen name as an Eagleman was Jupiter's associated form...

It was a stormy day in Rome. The sky was almost pitch black, thunder rumbled in the clouds as lightning flashed every so often. No one would dare go outside in this horrid weather but Romano was out there walking to the Coloseum. The wind was very strong gusting up to 100 miles per hour some times. Anything that wasn't bolted down to the ground was flying around. Tables, chairs, cats even the occasional supermodel that went outside. "Why do we have to be outside today Narcissus" said Romano to himself. [color=red] "That asshole Colin, who ever he is, challenged you to a fight and you are going to DESTROY HIM!!"[/red] Narcissus said.

Romano kept walking and eventually reached the Coloseum. The old architecture of that long ago ancient Rome was still standing to this day. Romano made his way to the stands of the Coloseum. There he saw Colin, standing there waiting for Romano. "So thats who I'm fighting. He looks so strong." "Well you can still DESTROY HIM!!"

"Oh heavenly messenger grant me your swiftness" after Romano said this little wings appeared on Romanos shoes and as he extended his arm a long ,7 foot long silver spear form in his hand. Romano easily jumped 30 feet in the as he then fell and landed about 30 feet away in front of Colin. He stood there infron of Coling with his spear. "Ok im ready"

Colin felt the rain pouring on his face; it had been far too long since his last bout in the rain. He looked over as his opponent entered the battlefield, his right hand gripping the hilt of Windscar. He really didn't care all that much for Romano's opinion of him; this was training, and would be treated as such. Colin released his zanpaktou from its sheathe, throwing it up into the air. The blade shattered, becoming several small feathers that raced downwards on Colin. Emerald green in color, they positioned themselves on his back, and he spread his newly formed wings wide. He looked at his opponent, rubbing his nose, as some had gotten in when he threw up his zanpakto.

"Well. Here is my bankai. Hopefully you will be able to keep up. No hard feelings to you. Say, afterwards I may even give you some seafood. I have plenty. However, for now..."

He vanished, taking a single step forwards. His wings and thrust down, throwing Colin at his opponent. He brought back windscar, bringing down directly onto his opponent, pressing down hard. His tilly hat blew behind him; he had forgotten to place it on his head. He looked up at Romano, his eyes ablaze with the intention of his mission. He continued pressing down, until Romano dodged him or his guard was broken.

"I hope that we can begin."

Romano stood there as he lifted up his spear and held it in both hands blocking the sword. Romano looked at Colin pushing the blade back as hard as he could causing sparks to fly as the blades started sliding against on another. The he said "Oh Heavenly Ram, Grant me the power over the winds of change!" Romano pushed back as he jumped back towards the stands of the coloseum. He stood there as he held his head, screaming as golden ram horns started to push out from his head. His spear turned a shining golden color as then translucent bird like wings appeared on his back. He knew that the weather was foul to be flying in but maybe it would somehow impair Colin's flight as well. Romano wasnt very good at flying. He could keep himself in the air but he had a hard time flying if there was even a slight breeze and today was a very stormy day so he was going to be thrown around by the wind. Romano grasped his spear tightly as he then jumped towards the sky trying his best to not be blown away by the winds as they started gusting. After reaching a hight of 50 feet he started spinning his spear creating a strong wings around it as the then then threw it at Colin. Half way to Colin the spear disappeared and came back to Romano only leaving an arrows of cutting air flying towards Colin.

Colin clicked his tongue; he was fairly suprised by the transformation, but soon saw that it hadn't come to very much. He pressed off, giving a flap of his wings. He ascended into the air, and his strong back muscles held against the current of air. He would be able to keep his pace, but he realized that he would most likely tire sooner. He smiled, angling his head downwards as the two rose. Its a good thing we're here... this suits my lack of wasted movement Perfectly... He thought to himself, looking up at Romano. He held Windscar in his right hand, and prepared it, turning the blade away from himself and setting the tip at the level of his feet.

He saw the spear flying towards him, but he held his course; his cybernetic eye was telling him all the information he needed to know. He could see its trajectory, knew it couldn't reach him... and saw it vanish. He quickly changed the view of his cybernetic eye, seeing the air currents lighting up as the continued to fly at him. He smiled even wider, preparing his right arm. He brought up Windscar as they got within 10 feet of him, activating its special ability. The current that had collected around the blade was discharged, as well as gaining momentum from the upward swing. It flew out, disjarring and dispersing the other air currents, continuing to fly directly at Romano.

Colin performed a flap of his wings, flying directly behind his attack. He smiled as the attack reached Romano, giving a powerful downstroke with his wings, dropping windscar. He closed his eyes, reaching both hands behind his head as he ascended. The feather blade formed between his hands, and he tightly gripped the hilt, reaching the peak of the downstroke. He brought the sword forwards, knowing that it would shoot out, slamming right where Romano had been standing. Colin continued to fall, approaching his swinging blade as it descended. The feathers rejoined on his back, creating his wings, but folded up. He gripped Windscar's hilt, and threw out his wings. They had a parachute effect; holding him tight against the winds.

He gave another downstroke, using a shunpo as he ascended. He appeared again directly in front of Romano, Windscar's blade pointed back in a reverse grip at his hip level. He brought his hand across, slashing out at Romano. Then Colin released the blade, dropping it into the waiting left hand, which was already coming across. It gripped the blade, performing another horizontal slash. By this time his right hand had recovered, and he grabbed the hilt with both hands, holding the blade horizontal and his hands level with his head, just above his right shoulder.

Colin looked right at Romano... and suddenly, with a flap of his wings, spun around, his foot now pointed at his opponent. Out of it shot a single bala, directly aimed at Romano's chest. Colin returned to his position, ready to execute the strike. He took a step forwards, building the momentum. Then he brought the blade down, fighting the air currents around the blade and making them follow its descent. Colin's Windscar executed the slash, a large blade of cutting air going forwards at his opponent, 20 feet in legth and 2 inches in width. It was a narrow slice, aimed to hit. As always.

Colin rested Windscar on his right shoulder, swishing around some spit in his mouth. He spat it out, watching it become one with the rain in the storm, but his facial direction as well as his body never leaving Romano's direction, ready to continue.

"Oi, that isn't all you've got, is it? Come on now, don't hold back!"

Romano was flabbergasted at how fast Colin moved, the storm was not affectig his flight at all. Romano hovered there as he saw that his own attack was sent back to him, he was paralyzed in fear realizing that there was no way that he could even lay a hand on Colin. At that moment Narcissus started yelling inside Romano's mind "You stupid idiot! Don't just stand there like a sitting duck you are going to die if you dont move" Narcissus tried taking over Romano's body to help save him, but the grip of fear was just to great to acomplish any bodily movements but all he could muster was saying "If you hurt my host, Im going to fuck you up so bad that your not going to fly ever again!" After that the bolt of wind hit Romano's body cutting his clothes and his skin producing deep cuts that started to bleed profucely. Afterwards he was still in shock as Colin brought his sword down on Romano making a complete hit. Romano felt extreme pain as he plumeted down towards the ground, as he hit the ground imence waves of pain as a crater formed around him. Romano whispered "Oh heavenly bull grant me thy protection" As he said that he started screaming in pain even louder as long red bull horns started pushing out from the side of his head and as his spear turned into a huge golden hammer. As he lay on the ground bleeding and panting as he said "Pleiades" as he said that seven orbs of light emerged from his body as they formed a fifty foot solid sphere of energy around him. As time progressed Romano's wounds started to get better but e was still severely wounded. He knew that he wasn't going to die now but he was still in enormous amounts of pain. As he lay there being healed by the barrier he slowly started to cry.
