"So you've had a pretty bad life I guess, well I'll give you one last chance to leave for if you can't defeat me soon then I'll become strong enough to go beyond your power...." He told Alex as warning and trying to convice him that it was better to give up then to continue this.

Before anyother words could be spoken through multiple attacks came at him at once for their was more fire being thrown at him which he was deciding to deal with but couldn't decide how as it raced at him with a giant shuriken but then he relized that he needed to do as he planned before and stall for time to which he blasted air again racing againist the fire and the shuriken all at once but this once was different this was his full steght into it and he performed sound rature which took the attacks and attempted to toss them back at his oppoent with high speeds and huge range it contained but even if this was successful the foe known as Alex had moved from his posistion and was now probably behind him by guess and he needed to get to him and he had jumped to get some distance between them again but now was the unknown factor had kicked in for some this sharp cut into both of his legs and he looked to see a line, a very sharp and barely visble even through he knew to what it was was nearly about t take his legs off eventually if he let them but with his steel sword he attempted to cut the line hopefully and if it didn't word out well he eventually grabed it with his aura covered hand and ripped it off. Due to his skin becoming Hierro like his skin was harder to some point to which the sharp line couldn't seriously damage his arm or hand really at all or even affect it really. His aura like hierro was suposed to be nearly perfect for what he needed at all times. After such Zero continued to retreat from Alex but during it he jumped into his school again wondering if Alex would follow him or attack the school.

"Time is on my side and that all I need right now." He said as he crashed into another school window and was now in the biggiest room in the school strangely. The Gym......

O all the rooms that he could use for cover or a advantage he went through the one window that led into the gym.... like really was this the best he could get but he quickly raced to the doors of the gym but as he thought since the gym teacher wasn't in today for some odd reason, the doors, every single one of them were klocked tightly shut and this wasn't a good situation and if Alex worked properly he could have Zero cornered in this large room if he could cover the window to the outside and entered the school.

___________________________________
As his own weapons flew back at him, Alex simply absorbed the Holy Energy back, being even more vitalized by it and dodging around the shuriken, performing a sidestep by stopping one foot and stepping around it. He continued his pursuit, watching the boy run into a gymnasuim. Seems that he's finally ready to end this hide-and-seek, is he? He thought with a smile, stopping in front of the door. He closed his eyes, concentrating, running his brush along the door, watching it turn to gray. He kept the color in his brush, sliding it back into its sheathe under his arm. He took a deep breath, putting his hand on the door. He closed his eyes, focusing Chaos Energy into his hand. He opened his eyes, releasing it, blowing the door apart. The shards flew out all over the floor; signifying his arrival. He walked in, looking at Zero, preparing himself.

He summoned up his knifes, concentrating Holy Energy on the tips. Then he leapt up, sealing his footing on the wall of the gym above the door with chaos energy. He ran to the right, taking long strides, then leapt into the air in a flip, meaning he jumped horizontally off the wall. Then he discharged the two knifes, throwing them right at Zero. Whatever they hit, they would explode on violently, damaging whatever they touched with holy energy. Then he touched down again, once again on the wall. He had pulled himself back with the chaos energy, and now he was fully ready to begin attacking. He rose up his right hand, throwing out his left and summoning a knifes, holding it there. He continued his strides along the wall, snapping his fingers. On each finger tip appeared a single flame, gold in color and very intense. Then he leapt out, pointing his fingertips directly at Zero. From his fingers came spheres of Holy Fire, being guided by Alex. They shot out, and he guided them, throwing them all where Zero had been standing. When they hit, they would destroy that spot, burning it up by the force of the 5 combined spheres.

Then Alex leapt into the air, drawing more. He drew a line, then poked his brush 6 times, making dots. The line turned into a stick and the dots spread out before him, becoming spheres for smashing. He closed his eyes, then flung them wide open, using his holy and chaos energy in his legs to increase his speed. He appeared next to each one, hitting it a full power directly where Zero was standing, slamming all six before a second had passed, each ball going about 90 mph.

Then he used an actual flash step, having pulled himself back onto the ceiling. Then he threw down the chakram once more; Zero hadn't been able to cut the line. It expanded once more, exploding outwards in the center of the gym, slicing. He vanished with the flash step as he hit the cieling, appearing on the floor in the center of the gym, simply retracting the shrunk chakram back onto his arm. He then took out his chakram, taking it off the right arm with his left hand. He spun it around, increasing its speed, then experimenting with something.

"Hadō 66: Tenran!"

He said, infusing the chakram with holy fire. More specifically, he fused the outgoing tornado with the holy fire. It flew at Zero, slamming all the way into the wall, ripping the basketball hoop to shreds. He then performed another flash step, appearing above Zero. Backslash be darned, he was going to cut this annoying quincy already. It was annoying him how he kept dodging; not parrying or anything. His holy knifes shot out, and he gripped the handles, preparing himself.

He smiled as he threw them out, using an actual attack. He threw out 10 knifes, infusing them with quite a bit of power. Enough power, in fact, to destroy one of the schools hallways, due to the radius given by the pressure. They sailed directly at Zero, destroying the ground beneath them with the pressure they gave off as they flew at high speed, destroying anything in their wake.

They slammed into the other end of the gym; and stopped there for a moment. Then, the wall began to crack, and it fell apart, the pressure getting to it. Alex smiled, performing a flash step, appearing between Zero and the destroyed wall as it crumbled. Then he closed his eyes, deciding that this would be where it ended. He created a knife in each hand; reaching his safe limit for now.

He thrust them into the ground, falling on his right knee. They penetrated through the polished gym floor, sending cracks all along the penetration point. Then he closed his eyes; he was afraid that it was time to lose his Father Form. He gripped the swords tightly, not even looking at Zero, his eyes closed.

Alright. It's time.

You quite sure?

YES I'M SURE! NOW PREPARE YOURSELF!

Very well… Alexander.

He visibly twitched, but exhaled a deep breath as he felt the change occuring. The power began to course through him, a great flood of Holy Energy. He gulped, feeling it pump on his heart, increasing his heart rate dramatically. Then, the wings on his back formed, breaking through the back of his overcoat and stretching out. His blade formed, the hilt right above his forward-facing head. It shined its rainbow color, then pointed at Zero, acquiring him.

Then, the blade changed, and Alex knew that the transformation was almost complete. From his body discharged a giant amount of holy energy; it traveled right through his hands, going into the blades, then into the ground. It shot through the ground; and the entire gym floor began turning gold glowing color.

"Form: Archangel, Alexander!"

He cried, giving a downstroke of his wings. He shot up as his swords vanished; gone from the change away from Father. The glowing gold floor ERUPTED, exploding into Holy Flames that extended 5 feet into the air. Anything that remained there past the ground was incinerated, the ground left a bright gold color.

He was fairly sure Zero would leap into the air; he had little other option. He looked at the boy, and gave another stroke of his wings. He vanished, appearing in front of his opponent. He had his blade in his hand, the blade red in color. He performed a downwards slash, using one hand. Then he created a small platform of Chaos Energy, stepping on it lightly with his left foot and changing to his right, having pushed off in a circle. He performed a horizontal slash from this spin, then gave a flap of his wings as his foot shot up, breaking 200 mph as it soared.

Then he gave another flap of his wings, this time moving backwards. He held up his left hand, more specifically, the left pointer finger, as the other fingers were curled back into his hand. He started it at his left side, pointing the finger at the flaming floor below them. Then he brought it up and to the right, making a diagonal line. Then he gave it another move to the right, but a downwards one, creating another gold line in front of him, making what looked like a greater than sign. Then the finger moved to the left, going far upwards, past the sign. He stopped it at chest level, under the level of the point of the sign. Then he gave it an immediate right, making a horizontal to the other side, and then back down again to its starting position. The entire move happened almost instantly; his overly pumped blood was making sure of that.

He moved his sword to above his left shoulder, crossing his right arm in front of his chest. Then he brought it down to its resting position in a fierce slash, activating the glowing gold star. It flew out, trying to slam into Zero as hard as it could, then descending into the fire below, where it would try to hold him down and burn him. However…. Alex appeared behind him as he would try to dodge, as otherwise, he was going to burn. In Alex’s right hand was a glowing gold energy, in his right, his blade. He doubted the distracted Zero would have a chance to react; and so he was performing this strike. He dropped his blade, pushing forwards his left hand. He dropped his right hand around, grabbing the falling blade by its hilt and turning the blade, trying to slash across Zero’s back. The hand that had been pushed on Zero exploded violently, burning everything but Alex in a 5 foot radius. Then, Alex gave one last flap of his wings, flipping backwards, landing on the wall of the mostly-destroyed gymnasium.

He looked around, seeing everything. So, I destroyed a wall, made some craters in the floor, and lit the entire floor on fire… not to mention making a flaming tornado. It’ll be a freakin’ miracle if he comes out of that with nothing more than a few bruises and cuts. But you know what they say, play with fire, you’re going to get burned. He finished, preparing himself. He had a good feeling that the boy was still able to fight, but not quite as strongly as he had before, due to how much pressure Alex had put on him. However, he also had a bad feeling. Did he not state that he was a Ziamcihi as well? If so, then how come he’s only used one form…? And not a very great one at that. He said he was S-class, like I am. I suppose that I must truly be careful from here on in that case, lest I be destroyed.

He then held his blade at his side, bringing in his wings, preparing for his defense. That was the major disadvantage with Archangel Form: His wings made him a larger target for his opponent. He scowled, and as he was thinking this, he was suddenly swamped. He gulped, clutching where his heart was, falling onto one knee. He saw it in his mind’s eye, Colin falling off the cliff, the house fire, the desperate search for Justin that yielded nothing. Dieing for Brian and Nathan, that strange bird, Rook… He suddenly found the source, and screamed in his mind.

LEONARDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, what’s the matter? You don’t want to see your family? You don’t want to remember their memories?

NO! YOU WILL NOT GAIN CONTROL! I DON’T WANT TO DESTROY ALL THIS-

What? I thought that you didn’t care. “The world can burn for all you care.” Remember?

I’m NOT giving you control, you insane angel!

Ah. That stung, Alexander.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

He cried inside his own mind, pushing down on Leonardo. He had been able to suppress his Ziamichi, but he had been wide open. He wasn’t sure what Zero would have done, and opened back up his eyes to the present…
I Will Burn Another Day...

This was the final battlefield and this was definately not the time Zero was hoping that they would arrive at it though it was still too early for his final form, omega state hasn't kicked in yet but he could tell it was coming soon for how long he's been in zero state. As a door was taken down, Alex stepped into the gym with his strange pain brush which Zero now assumed was his Zanpakutō and that he was a shinigami-ziamachi. Eventually moves were made and Zero stood his ground as more knifes were thrown at him and then Zero dodged them by jumping over them and with his sword he rushed at Alex at high speeds. But then watched as spheres of that firey energy was fired at him as Alex was walking on the wall eventually he drew something with his brush which became spheres that he tossed out at Zero to which he side stepped accordingly to then reach Alex's spot on the wall but then alex had moved and hit each of the spheres at him at high speeds but zero cotinued up the wall and rach the ceiling to just drop off of it but then alex appeared above him with that cused chakram in his grasp.

" The same attacks are getting boring don't you think Alex?" He asked as he turned his body to have his feet touch the floor and his foe had tossed the chakram and casted a Kidō, to be exact Terran.

As they were both launched at him he quickly tried to move out of the way but a bit of the holy fire caught him on fire but didn't damaged badly as he quickly moved but eventually the then knifes were thrown out and the explosion was violent as Zero was tossed back by the power of it to the floor and Zero knew he needed to get stronger or all hope was lost for him. He was slowly pulling himself as Alex appeared inbetween him and the once standing wall. Two knifes were stabbed into the floor as Zero thought this was the end but still raised him to face his demise but it took a bit longer as Alex had changed into yet another form that was called Archangel form. To which the floor begaan to erupt in flames but Zero was obviosuly not going down in a blaze so which he jumped up and blasted his last bit of current strenght to vibrate some air below him as time was running out in his mind as his sweet death he thought was nearly here. Then Alex flew in front of him and serious ly tried to cut him but he bounced back of the platform and his foe followed with a another slash but Zero had already moved out of range but slammed into the wall which was one that had yet to be damaged yet.

"This was it...... wait!" He whisphered.

The next moment it came to him as power filled his injuried body and the black aura spread across his body leaving half of his head and the outer halfs of his limbs except his right arm whih was completely covered as such he had his steel blade change to his left hand as if he kept it in his right then it would of been ashes instead of steel within a matter of a few seconds. While Alex was firing the star at him little did he know that this was Zero at 100% now and it meant tons of trouble because all those hits that he had orginally done to Zero's body had sealed in a werid way since the aura acted like a second layer of skin to him. As the star continued at him he watched and laughed manically as he fired a Cero at the star that would definately destroy it with how much more effort he had put into his attack while with his sword hand he knew of Alex's approach from behind and slashed at Alex and blocked his sword but in the process from blocking the steel cracked and soon broke completely to little peices set to flames on the ground. This caused Alex to drop back to the wall and he probably thought he was safe since the sword was broken and he hasn't really done any damage but boy was he wrond as Zero's own Zanpakutō appeared out of thin air and so did his bow once more both matching in color with his aura and also had the aura around them.

But the final thing to show alex that he was a new form was that he flew at Alex with a speed of at least 400 mph which someone who couldn't fly would be unable to and he made his Zanpakutō face to slash in at Alex but his true purpose was to slam Alex into the wall hard which it seemed that Alex had allowed it seemed and he was having a inner battle with himself it was a little unfair to do that but then again this was a battle. So then Zero backed up again and charged one last cero hopefully that would cause enough damage to give him a advantage.

"This is the finale, Alex.... the end......" He spoke and the cero was fired at a very deadly range to most.

"Why can't you just stay down long enough for me to finish you." Zero stated as his cero was blocked.

After his Cero was finished he watched as his foe flashed behind him and prepared to slap him it seemed but Zero react with a Sonido moving to meet Alex's slap but it was going to collide with the blade of his Zanpakutō which last time he checked was sharp and this guy didn't have thick skin like him. But then again this guy had been able to regenerate after every blow that Zero had dealt to him. Alex was a true match for Zero as they matched each other in speed and the other was able to deal with what the other dealt out to them which was mostly Zero dealing with stuff. But this needed to change he was at max and if he couldn't go offensive then what was the point to continue attacking in a battle he can't deal damage in. whether his sword collided with Alex or not he would push back being collided with one of the two standing wall but then Zero realiazed a proplem in all of this. The Ceiling was going to come down on them very soon since it's supose to be supported by four walls not two in this case with all the destruction to the gym they've cause with his Cero and Alex's attacks.

But this didn't stall Alex as he continued with his barrage of melee punches trying to give him the ole one two but ended with one being dodged and the two hopefully meeting his blade once again but then the kick came in and it landed on Zero which caused some pain which made him drop his sword down to his stomaach area to block a knee but was punched in the face which caused him to back up as instead of resiesting the punch he went with it and as such flying through the air into the last stable wall and instead of getting brought down the ground by Alex's attack instead he was now falling to it by himself but his final form's ability to hover off the ground was still in play and kept him partially out of the flames to where he was's being burned completely but it hurt and was begining to scar his skin and body.

Then the X attack was fired at him and he wanted to fade away and rest and he knew it was such a bad move for him as he was now just watching put then it felt like he was put in the back seat for a moment of his mind and it confused him but a very well known voice reassured him all was fine.

"You truly think I would let my master's legacy end like this? No Key will live on no matter the damage and pain!" The voice stated.

With his moment of weakness Zero's body worked without his command as it rush out of the attacks way and blasted into the safety of the school hall since the doors and walls were blown down that had prevented acess to them before and then Zero's body smirked even through the pain Zero was dealing with from his burns the voice didn't care as he moved back into the gym and hopped up at Alex with Zanpakutō ready to stab into him. At that moment the deafening sound from once before had bothered Alex so much before had returned momentarily to plague the battlefield. To which the voice made his host stab and then spin to make slashes at his foe like a top going counter clock-wise.
And after being counter and blocked or even successfully hit, he would begin to back up and fall to his knees in the air 15 ft. back as Zero came back to power in his body. It could be noted as he begins to breath heavily from the burns inflicted upon him. He would speak once to Alex hoping to reach him and try to end this if he could peacefully knowing that their was a long wait for the end of this fight for both of them as it would take every last once of energy out of them if that was even the way you could measure it.

"Why have you come here? Why did you want this battle? What have I done Alex? Is today truly the end for each of us?" He asked the man in front of him and lifted his head to see the sun and that brought up the question in his head when did the roof get blown off?
