The Blue Ziamichi Receives a Challenge!

And all the while he waited.....the mood outside would have drastically changed. The tall imposing figure would have stood outside without his Zanpak-tou in a released-sheathed state rammed into the ground before him. Arms crossed, eyes closed, all the while allowing the somber tones of his own inner torment to wash over him. Can you hear it? The melodic flow symmetrically mirroring some orchestrated, instrumental representation of his own personal state. Imposing his mood, on the environment, literally.

He is a stone. Devoid of any and all characteristic, gesture or movement yet that mind and his might orchestrate a spontaneous spike in Ionization about this area. Polarity reconfigurations where occurring rapidly, in one symphonic flow from a tranquil state to a provoked chaotic one. Godly arcs would stream from cloud to cloud. While the woman inside haphazardly fumbled over her interior confines for her belongings. Outside? He was calmly waiting, while advocating the mood of nature itself as the spiked electron activity and arcing super heated the air at high level, but beneath that it would cool and form into gargantuan cells...somber, black, obsidian super cells of harrowing electrical rage.


Winds blow. Whispering and wailing their despair into the ears of any within ear shot. Blades of grass bending and yielding to wrath which by the time that the woman made herself present---she was staring a a proverbial lightning rod. He was utilizing a fairly simple method, kick starting the atmosphere into a charged state until it could sustain it's own electromagnetic activity...and all the while his own body (Through an active Shikai) could pluck from that accumulated torrent what it needed when it needed. From the spiked electron activity at ground level? Pluck from it what it needed when it needed. His body seethed with giggawatts of raw current.

Slowly, his eyes would open and reveal the obsidian orbs behind the lids which stare upon the woman with seemingly no opinion or visible stimulation at the sight of her long awaited arrival. She'd be practically walking into the birth of a hurricane, or what appeared to be the preceedings of a tornado, wild lightning activity and charged atmosphere at sky and ground level. Should she have sought to ask her question still, he'd only point to the woman, and in an instaneous act of aligning charges and polarities to draw from the skies what he needed, he turned where should stood into a receiver point.

A bolt of lightning would bolt down from the skies at 110-miles per second and seek to strike the woman FIRMLY upon the top of her head---with only his pointing being the only indication that SOMETHING could possibly be amiss. Without prior knowledge of Aramand? Deducing such would be nigh impossible save for every hair on her body and back of neck rising at the sudden increase in charge reception. So there...2.5 giggawatts of electricity and several hundred thousand kelvins of temperature, from the heavens would stretch down to do this woman harm via burning and rabid electrocution should he succeed.

If he came off Arrogant in any way shape or form, then let an apology be issued now. It's just that Aramand takes his time, and battle seriously. So to expend his time in battle, he could only hope it is with someone who was WORTH that said event. He is what he is, it cannot be changed or altered only accepted and he makes due with the cards that have been dealt. His entire presence and act at the moment was just his introductions and at the moment, after watching the woman act??? He couldn't have been more impressed (You do truly have an understanding of Electromagnetic dynamic--I salute you). Watching her redirect the lightning put a visible smile across his face. Something sadistic, wide and bright ---very Zaraki like. He isn't arrogant now, he is appreciative. He has found someone worthy of his effort and sufficient. It takes everything in him to not get down on one knee and propose to this Eligable-candidate for wifing.


Her second act? Was even more impressive. Summoning this storm and this elevated sense of electron activity served many a purpose. For one, Aramand was attuned to energy period. Anything passing through any electron, Ion or Magnetic wave may as well have been sounding off with an alarm to announce it's presence and intention. As far as energy goes, plainly put---nothing can be put past him. When she sticks out her fingers and snaps, and begins the manifestation of that said barrier, his smile fades as the realization of what was being attempted comes to light. "Impressive.."---but futile still. As stated, this entire area was a sess-pool of electromagnetic activity, Ionization and electron dynamic. His Sword? It's proverbial epicenter, Proverbial in a sense, one would come to find that the connection between he and his Zanpak-tou is simply astounding, it's power? Diverse. An intricate utilization of symmetrical gravitation fields in sequence with equally complex and harmonized magnetic fields would effectively force the molecular bonds of his Zanpak-tou apart, YET Isolate them, and Gravimetrically Excite that said molecular composition while using the electrons caught inbetween and on either side of the barrrier to serve as corridors from which the physical sword travels from one matter state to another.

Every...single...molecule....Would be fluxed. Forced into an intangible state, a frequency and vibratory wavelength that upon coming in contact with other wavelengths, Passes through or around that said wavelength without disabling it or disturbing it. She tried to seperate his sword---instead the sword would quite literally PHASE through that said barrier in it's travels back to his hand...exiting even as the two halfs of the barrier are taken through it's seperation attempt, solidifying and returning to his hand, via Re-organization and re-strengthening of those molecular bonds that held it together in it's original state.

At that very moment it became painfully obvious what this womans intention was. Eliminate his Zanpaktou, and cut Aramand off from the simply unfathomable resources he had at his disposal through his Zanpak-tou. It was THOSE resources which made him dangerous. Having knowledge of many traditional forms of combat,----the likes in which she was trying to force him to use. Aramand needed them for not. What he could do with the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum, magnetism and it's other attributes far outclassed anything that could be done with Kidō' or at least he could match it. And to make matters worse these resources were abundant, they were everywhere. The Power occurring naturally...was his power to claim at any moment. And she would be right---that made Aramand VERY, VERY dangerous. The fact was simple, Despite having vast Spiritual pressure and energy----he very rarely used it at all. And his abilities made it nigh impossible to gauge just how powerful Aramand truly is.


Again, not a moment sooner then the Zanpaktou returning to his hand after the failed attempt to destroy it, would 3 bolts of electricity, moving at the same speed, but this time with different intended strike points, 2 at her shoulders, one dead center of her chest, however they bore something different about their composition, these charged particles infact are the SAME just recently used in the prior attack, but having had the pleasure of passing through this womans body and aligning with the polarity of her own spiritual energy, of her own nervous system, of her brains synaptic charges even. There was no re-directing this, in short---she was the other end of the circuit to be completed, CONTACT with her body in any way shape or form would simply seek to over-load the attracting polarities present in either of the 3 fields of attraction just mentioned.---Combined with the outstanding thermal output associated with electrocution. In these 3 bolts existed means of shutting her entire bodies ability carry nervous system impulses, conduct brainwave activity or synaptic firing, even the ability to utilize her own spiritual energy/Kidō or relative energy forms, if not knocking her unconscious altogether if successful all the while maintaining his stance roughly 25 meters from the woman.

Her sly character of combat was fast becoming impressive. It also quickly put things into perspective that this was not going to be a match of physical might so to speak---he quite possibly had that in the bag. More so this was a game of chess, and the victor will be decided by he or she who moves best and covers their pieces while doing so. --Something Aramand has been doing, since the beginning of this match.

He was a piece, covered on the board. Cutting him off from a source at this given moment would be nigh impossible for someone who didn't exactly know how he functioned or knew the exact dynamic of his function--or his intentions and reasons for doing anything. This storm?? Was a Source. His Zanpaktou? Was a source. The very electrons that flow freely in existence? Was a source, magnetic waves, natural or synthetic? Were sources, not HIS? No, but very well subject to lease or financing at a WHIM, an extended aspect of his overall power whenever and however he saw fit. Aramand was every ahead of his Ranks categorization. ---His atrributes int he traditional practices, Kidō and the such would be advertisement of that, If his actual abilities made them nigh-unnecessary. There wasn't anything he couldn't replicate, counter, negate or attack through his abilities that Kidō or the relative did. And it's these abiliies and these sources that made gauging Aramand short of impossible, it was far to expansive and complex a scenrio this "War Infant" was.

It also gave a duality to the task of taking him on. IN truth? With no arrogance in the statement but fact supporting--no individual with just physical gifts could aspire for victory against him. And those blessed with manipulating energy, or Kidō or any traditional energy form while stood better chance, Only danced dangerously in a game he was all but to familiar with. It creates room for mistakes, like the one she may have knowingly or unknowingly made, NOT taking the bolts into her sword (That was smart) but instigating her own Spiritual Energy into the mix to redirect it (That wasn't smart) ----perhaps she didn't notice that this time when the lightning came, there was no electro-static surge present in her area. No hairs stood on the back of her neck, no charge at all existed. That was because this is polarity/frequency specific. Attuned specifically to the woman, she was a beacon, the flame and the lightning the moth. This incoming energy, and the energy created upon her injection of her stored energy? COULD NOT attract or connect to anything else BUT itself, and wouldn't dream of being redirected from that to which it is highly attracted.

"however they bore something different about their composition, these charged particles infact are the SAME just recently used in the prior attack, but having had the pleasure of passing through this womans body and aligning with the polarity of her own spiritual energy, of her own nervous system, of her brains synaptic charges even." - An Excerpt from my previous post.


So unfortunately, there would be no connection to be made from Her Zanpaktou to his own, or with his hand. That was because the moment she had introduced her own "Stored" Spiritual energy into the "Commission to be redirected" gatheed in her sword. The Polarity alignment of that energy with her own spiritual energy would BACK-FEED on her with extreme prejudice, and unfortunately...that Ivory Hilt, or the Crystalline Surfaces of that blade would do her no good. As stated, Aramand's talents over the Electromagnetic Spectrum continue to display their depth. That Spiritual energy? External of the body or internal of it, STILL held some form of wavlength attunement with one another. AYE, the back-feed couldn't be carried out through physical contact, however, it would travel along the same lines of communication that allows a Kidō user to Summon or manipulate energy of any form to begin with. Whether vocalizing incantations, or simply willing them into existence, it had to be agreed upon that the act of using energy is in part mental. The Thought and will exerted upon the said forces to gain ACTION.

REMOTE-ACCESS TO speak. These Brainwaves are similar to Radiowaves, and infact are relative in signature and frequencies (Hence how machines can be used to diagnose, survey, monitor or even interfere with Synaptic/Brainwave activity in the first place), and truth be told, these moved even FASTER then the convection-Circuit methods being exchanged by them thus far.


EVEN IF this wasn't the case, NO-INCOMING connection of that sort would ever make it's way to Aramands Zanpaktou with suffering Stasis Dialation, or Ionization Field Intervention, but that was besides the point. NOW, at this very moment of that attempted redirect, "Releasing the stored energy into the stream" as she put it, it would hit her like a million tons of bricks. Her BRAIN would quite literally start to seize upon itself, in the form of an unbearable, searing hot jolt of pain that would be the overload destruction of synaptic activity, followed by her nervous system overload, which would conclude with her own spiritual energy becoming highly unstable and spontaneously Expanding as it's molecular attchments are cast to the wind---not to mention, again, Outstanding electrocution. This would of course, NOT kill her, but would effectively render her unconscious if not taking her entire ability to function, give her body commands or her powers or zanpaktou commands smoothly away from her.

All the while Aramand would remain standing there, his Zanpaktou safely back in his grasp and the lengthy, weightless blade held out to his right, posturing within the throws of microburst thrown their way from the lightning rich super-cells overhead.

"It's bullshit for someone to say they don't have or like PC's. Any character that isn't a bone stock human, with no military or combat training, with no attributes or powers is categorically a Power Character. The bitching starts when one person is better at it then another.." ---ME.


Aramands power wasn't the staple of what made him a challenge and an armful to deal with. It was his mind. He was a tactician, a strategist. A Chess player. He never did ANYTHING without having a reason for it. An attack is never truly an attack, it's only the precursor to something else, and every plan had a plan behind that plan to back it up. It's the reason why Storms always followed him, Why he kept his Zanpaktou where it was and very RARELY, ever actually utilized it in a physical manner when it's in it's released state. Despite it's length, it was VERY much applicable in combat. But the point of the matter is that his power came with such depth, complexity and range that he was far more dangerous an adversary without taking to arms with it.

When she dropped her sword. That smile on his face went from slight, to simply full blown sadistic. In his mind -GOTCHA- was all that could be heard within his consciousness echoing with the severity of the thunder that resounds within the heavens over their persons.Why?? Well quite simply put, Aramand had already dedcued that this womans strong point was NOT physical combat. The Spheres that were absorbing the lightning, her ability to re-direct, and so forth, it was all tell tale signs of a person who was versed in Kidō. So when she discarded her sword, Aramand was already well aware or at least had an idea of the circumstances that could and would follow, and with immediacy, a spherical proximation of his being going no further then 10 meters in all directions would take shape as immensely strong magnetic fields are used to tight-weave the frequencies and wavelengths of the electrons and ion free flowing his area (And have been, sustained, by his release Zanpak-tou and the Storm overhead). A polarity switch of their attractions made them super-imposing on one another. Forcing them into such tight weaves that quite literally they becomes a solid ION-FIELD. A Hard Construct of tight weave Ions and Electrons, strengthened by magnetic fields to construct a shield---that would have been there JUST as the lightning was discarded by her nullification.

In truth! This was a precautionary measure for HIMSELF, it just so happened that this constructed barrier would supply sufficient means of downright countering her Kidō which unfortunately--she had to recite first (Which takes WAY to much time at least in a battle like this) So if it's a measure to secure HIMSELF??? Then what is the nature of this Spherical Defensive Construct outside of obviously defending himself??? Quite simple. The Presence of the spherical anomoly (Which consisted of tightly compacted, high frequency high wavelength Ions, adhered by outstanding magnetic fields), would have drastically elevated the areas reception. An IMMENSE polarity augmentation was under way, this was different from the other instances, in both intensity, range, and prominence. The ENTIRE AREA for 400 meters in all directions would be subjugated to a spontaneous increase in ambient electro-static nature. And the skies above, at the behest of the orchestrator were going absolutely WILD.




At the exact moment that her Restraint was attempted.---ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. And from the skies, 2.0 Gigggawatts of unbridled fury provoked by the presence of that sphere would come tearing down to bear down on the battle field with a gods wrath. Set to let loose upon this woman a ferocity and power will prove to be in excess of 2 times more powerful then those previous bolts, every bit as fast if not faster but more importantly, have an IMPACT Area of 75 meters total ---At that speed, far to wide for any attempted flash stepping. MORE importantly? It occurs JUST AS her spell was being cast, as both her arms, free of sword or any other instrument she could attempt to counter with, Faster then she could quite possibly try and summon more negation. As stated..the Mind, was the weapon here, and more dangerous then even the power of this attack----was it's timing.

Unfortunately for her that Sphere would make it god-awful difficult for straps to behind his arms.----it couldn't even easily penetrate the sphere. The same would ring true for the Iron Pillars---a testament to the desperation, throwing IRON at someone who could utilize the EM-Spectrum, magnetism included. This sphere, and those leather straps, and those Iron Pillars included, are all along for the ride on the "White Lightning"--And Aramand was clearly making his attempt to put this woman down once and for all FINAL. It was unfortunate that her attempts at dialogue or anything else for that matter would never come to be due to those actions. Perhaps if she carried herself with MORE seriousness, and discarded the Arrogance of LOWERING her own power to deal with him, she'd have faired better. Unfortunately...she would be a victim of circumstance, with quintessentially no out. She was committed, the timing was spot on, and she hadn't factored in that the speed of his powers far outclassed his own personal mobility. His hat was tossed into the ring, he could only hope that she could endure this level of electrocution and thermal ravaging.

SO we Auto/Hit Killing now???? Seriously??
