Redd & Tesome V.S. Colin

Redd wandered about the forrest-- it had been his first time in the rukongai since he'd left for the gotei 13 believe it or not and it felt good to be home. The tree's held a darker color than those in karakura forest. Almost as if things were livelier- The bark seemd browner-- the grass and trees seemed greener, and the smells of pine,mapel, and oak alike was certainly the best part.

Redd had been allowing his spiritual pressure to flare out at half its actual power most of his friend had either died in hollow raids or had just plain left to another district-- hopefully one better than his old one. So the thought of, what better way to pass the time than to attract hollows and annihilate them?

Redd skipped over his tradition of slashing into the trunks of the tree about him this time. This place was in truth-- far to precious for him to consider desecrating. He figured any hollow or otherwise could find him through the use of spiritual pressure-- and if not then they just weren't worth the effort. Having been emitting just under half of his power the shinigami was sure that any monster would be tricked into assuming he was of the weaker variety of shinigami -- if they thought he was a shinigami at all.

Small rays of moonlight rained down around him -- the blotches of light being more in abundance in the places where pine trees were, creating a halo of the lavender streaks around said trees. The soft crunch of the spring leaves that were a green-ish yellow rustled beneath his feet as he waled onward, never changing his path unless he was forced to move around the trunk of one of the massive trees in front of him. Which was quite often due to the abundance of time that they were allowed to grow.

Redd was a clad black figure-- His T-shirt and Gi- pants fit him to an extent that allowed them to hang from his frame just slightly -- no more than one size to big. His skin resembled the color of roasted chestnuts-- just a bit darker than the general caramel color. This was in contrast to his dark-brown eyes and hair that resembled coffee to a degree when in the moonlight, thought these aspects of Redd were virtually black in appearance when he walked into the shadows.

The Red and gold of his hilt was just barley visible in the light-- the small golden color just barley poking up over his right shoulder due to his zanpaktou being slung over his back. He wore black sneakers which has small cleats in the bottom of them-- had he been on a paved ground they would make sounds as if he'd been tap- dancing. The Yūgana tebukuro gloves were only a small bit darker than his hands on the inside palm-- matching his hair- color on the top side of them. His hands remained clenched into fists at his side.

He'd been listening intently this entire time in spite of his own noise-- which he'd been making purposely. He was waiting for a surprise attack-- hoping for one. It'd only been just recently that He'd received his gift from the captain of the second division and he planned to use it -- Tonight.

"Judge us not equally, Abraham. We may all deserve hell..." Tesome moved through the forest quietly, the small being was under three and a half feet tall and weighed about 55 pounds. His head was covered with a hood, and a mask hid the lower half of his face, meaning all of his demonic physical traits were hidden. The only thing that really marked him as different was his diminutive size. Upon his back sat what looked like a tactical sabre in a holster strapped from his right shoulder down to his left hip, his green ponytails flipped through the air behind him as he moved. His body occasionally seemed to blink out of sight as his speed increased massively, at one point in time he screached to a stop, leaving two groves in the soft soil at his feet as he came out of his Speed of Thought as he came up near to where Colin and Redd was speaking. If he was spotted, knowledge of him would be rather easy to find in the database, but knowledge on his abilities were not easy to find, as few seemed to care enough about a filthy half blood like him. He crouched down and watched the two of them, he was not trying overly hard to avoid being spotted, but an immediate look would think him more of a bystander then someone aiming to interfer. His uniform did not look a whole lot like a Shinigami's uniform, and he currently was not carrying any badge indicating if he was part of a division, which he currently was not. His purple eyes scanned both other individuals and looked for information from the way they dressed and the weapons that they carried. "... but some of us deserve it sooner than others."

" I do.... and I plan to."

Redd raised his arm- brining the upper section of this appendage to an angel that was directly horizontal to his shoulder. He bent his arm back-- in no rush, it was obvious that the male before him wouldn't attack until Redd did. Squeezing down on the hilt embroiled hilt of Chizana, he went on to extend his arm quite a bit of distance above his head before allowing it to glide down towards the front of hi waist.

There was obviously no time for subtlety-- Redd had the creeping feeling that one with the speed potential that matched that of Colin washi's couldn't be THAT patient. No sooner had the hilt of his zanpaktou come to a rest-- the pointed tip pointed directly at his chest did he speek once more.

"Here I come... Colin washi.... Kumokuripingu. "

Upon the completion of his last phrase Redd shoved his own zanpaktou deep within his chest-- a small Redd circle of reiatsu swirling as him and his zanpaktou became one in the same. Redds own reiatsu flared as this occurred no longer stifling his spiritual pressure as he had before. In this state the red, smokey energy tolled off of the male shoulders. His muscle mass increased-- along with his height and demeanor. It was at this point that one might realize why Redd commonly wore his clothes about two sizes too big. The beige colored shinigami now stood at an even six feet-- but his physical chnages hadn't stopped there.

Four gigantic prongs sprang from Redd's back, originating from the four corners of his spine -- just below his shoulders. Said appendages reached to a distance of about 15 feet-- though on such as colin might not have been able to asses this due to Redd facing him. Said asppendages arched upwards-- bending down wards so that each one reached the floor.

Redd's bottom metal appendages lifted up -- moving backwards behind him-- springing into action. Each of his spider-like appendages hyper extended, sending him rocketing forward-- in truth when he used these to jump he was brought to a speed only a half0step behind a master level shunpo. A spiders legs worked on a system of hydraulics that propelled them forward. It was a known fact that a jumping spider could jump to a height fifty times its own-- Redd could do this to a degree of 35 in his current state, and at an incredible speed.

In doing this Redd had cocked his right arm backwards-- his top metal appendages poising them selves above his shoulders-- pointing forwards, the tips of said metal appendages lined up closely with his eye level. These appendages only stretched abut a foot out in front of him, while the bottom two remained behind him in the same position they'd been when he'd moved.

Redd remained close to the ground in case he was in need of a fast movement. His toes hovered a few mere inches above the grassy forest floor-- all of the force from his jump having carried him forwards. Again the words of his acting captain rebounded about his thoughts.

Strike hard and fast.

This mantra was held dearly within his mind as he sailed forwards-- He intended to.

"Judge us not equally, Abraham. We may all deserve hell..." Tesome watched as the man seems to attempt to overwhelm Redd with sheer speed but he was able to follow the other man, he shook his head, he rarely saw anyone that could move faster then him, and he wasn't really sure the man was actually moving faster then Tesome. But he was moving with far greater Control then Tesome could manage. He heard the man speak to him and he smiled, he wanted him in, so Tesome would oblige him. He seemed to blur from Colin's point of view for a moment before Colin's eyes would readjust back to being able to see him(which would probably be pretty quick) but it was clear that Tesome was pretty damned fast too, matching Colins speed perfectly(for the moment). Appearing momentarily behind Colin he spat at the feet of Colin, what was hard to see however was the 5 small objects that would come out with the spit, after he did that he sped back into the incredible amount of speed, hopefully avoiding any attack that Colin would throw at him. The wad of spit would hit the ground, but that wasn't all that happened, the seeds inside of the spit were actually contact explosives. When they hit the ground at Colin's feet each seed would explode with same explosive power of a 2012 hand gernade. He hadn't activated his shikai yet, so most of the energy that was coming off of Tesome was actually his Demonic power and not his reitsu signature. He lept into the air and landed on a branch, his hand moving to the sabre that sat on his back, and he drew the blade out of its sheath. This guy was fast and powerful he would need more then his Demon power to help slow this guy down. "Shōkan no honō no yume" he spoke quickly which roughly translated to Dream’s of redemptions flames. The sword that he just drew would disappear, he then reached up and unbuckled his jacket and slid it off tossing it to the side. From either side, coming out of his sides were four chains, on the end of each of those chains were long and broad black and silver blades that seemed to be moving with their own intellegence. His eye color was now purple and his full demonic physical traits were visible. Tesome didn't speak, he just waited for the other man's next move. "... but some of us deserve it sooner than others."

Redd arched his neck and torso backwards-- Using his appendages to lower him further to the ground he would have narrowly avoided this head-butt. A firm believer in the ways of Tai-chi Redd intended to use this mans momentum against him-- though by now it was too late.

Redd may have been far weaker than one such as Colin but he was by far no rookie. One with the speed that vizard had demonstrated was prone to tricks relating to them. In fact Redd himself was one of these people who used his great speed in order to dazzle opponents, needless to say an after-image attack wouldn't work on him.

It was easily predictable that Colin would move behind him-- as so many other had done. The fact of the matter was that one could no longer expect that to come as a surprise. Redd upheld a great deal of battle training and even a greater amount of experience in battle, while it could be said that this paled in comparison to Colin's own, he had enough know how to move out of the way.

Redd pivoted on his right foot-- accompanying shunpo with this maneuver. In doing this Colin's blade, and his fist would have slipped past Redd's right arm-- jabbing at nothing but air. The fact that Redd had spun could have told anyone that the right bottom appendage was rocketing in a clockwise motion towards colin. The seemingly metal appearance flashing in a few of the fist-sized dollops of light. Redd simultaneously began closing in on the bottom right appendage with the bottom left one-- these closing behind him as if scissors would, starting at the pointed tips.

Redd went on to lean over forwards -- raising his left foot in the air behind him while pushing off the ground with his right. This caused him to front-flip up wards to a height of about 17 feet, and forwards roughly 6 feet. His blades whipped about him-- if a strike was to come for him it may have been promptly deflected-- if the attacker would not be cut due to the multitude of his weapons.

The balls of Redd's feet had only just touched down onto the ground when he curled into the fetal position -- the flat of the blades being neatly placed in a parallel manner against his back. He rolled forwards-- diffusing the impact made from his landing-- he sprung up from the floor once more, coming to a rest below Tesome.

"I like your style..."

Redd's voice croaked as he cocked an eyebrow at the hybrid, speaking in reference to his appendages that matched Redd's own in general concept.

" I Pray that you choose to work with me on this one-- as you can see I could use some help...."
Redd's expression was slightly apologetic. It felt awkward-- asking for help, in most situations he was able to handle himself, but he could tell he was out-matched and losing was NOT an option.

Redd sighed as he began to bob his head, his 70's reminiscent afro being yanked forwards and backwards by this movement.

" Yo.... I'mma hot and bothered astronaut, crashin while jackin off.... "

Redd spoke Raising his fits in a defensive manner as he faced Colin. Each of his appendages poised in front of him-- bending so that each of the top twos points were placed directly in front of him -- about 5 feet away and no more than a foot apart. The remaining spider-appendages were held at his sides -- only slightly behind him.

"Judge us not equally, Abraham. We may all deserve hell..." Growls as the man seemed to avoid his explosives and as he appeared behind them he spun on the opponent. Smiling a bit as his entire eyes turn black as ink, a black mist seeming to appear from the eyes as suddenly all three individuals are clouded in a sphere of darkness so thick that one could almost move it like water. The sphere was a sensory-dampening sphere that effects all the senses of both Colin and Redd, as he can't pick and choose who it effects. All around him now were shadows when first the wind swipe and the balla's came in at him, as he watched the attacks start from Colin he used shadow step to disappear from their target area and reappear almost instantaneously behind Colin avoiding both attacks for the moment. He pretty close to answered Colin's future question about just how fast he can go. That being if he could actually be seen by Colin. While Colin attempts to use an attack that Tesome can't follow he aims at Colin, His four blades aiming to wrap up Colin with a great deal of strength. The attack if successful would tie Colin up and immobilize him from using his advantage in speed. Giving up his location in the darkness worked against him this time as he got knocked away from Colin from use of his kidō, thus his wrap up attack failed. He backflipped through the air and landed on his feet leaving groves behind in the ground, as his eyes continued to follow Colin and spoke quickly "Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws. Hadō number 33 Sōkatsui" Tesome aimed the palm of his hand at Colin and generatee a torrent of blue spiritual energy and fires it at Colin. The energy moves like a large wave of energy because of the sheer amount of power that Tesome placed into it. "... but some of us deserve it sooner than others."

The Vizard would have been right in assuming Redd was too defensive, but was there really such a thing ? When your only defense was an offense-- at that point there's no difference between the two, its just fighting, And fight he did.

A small shunpo had brought him only a few feet to the right of the "Windscar" ability. The transparent gust of air filtering past him-- bringing a small breeze in its wake. Redd had gone up against abilities like that before-- knowing good and well that when someone moved their zanpaktou it was best to move and ask questions later-- though even this couldn't save him.

Colin was upon him in less than a moment-- The second of speech giving Redd an appropriate amount of time to jump backwards just before the vizard would make his advances. This had effectively caused him to avoid the first two strikes though the last two including the kick that had been sent towards his chest he took valiantly. The sudden sensation of being forced backwards invaded his nerves and he immediately reacted-- firing off each of the threads that were "hidden" in the holes of his zanpaktou.

These would have each attached themselves to colins body-- or rather his reiatsu coating instantly if they were allowed to connect. Regardless of weather or not they DID connect Colin's reiatsu field would no longer do much good he would soon find out why. His kick had sent Redd flying-- yet he hadn't been given time to make it more than a few feet away before Colin mad an assault on Redd's appendages-- which was useless in all honesty. The appendages that jutted from Redd's spine had become a material harder than adamantium ( the stuff wolverines bones were made out of) on top of this they'd been coated in Redd's own reiatsu it would take quite a bit more than a slash to take either of them out.

Colins slash had caused Redd to complete a 360 while in mid- air, the force from his kick causeing him to bash his left shoulder into a near-by tree. But still Redd wasn't yet ready to give up. He stood-- his back sliding upwards against the bark of the tree, creating a scratch/tear sound, the ridges of brown causing this to resound in a seven foot vicinity around him.

" Sent to earth to poke Catholics in the ass with saws and knock blunt ashes into thier caskets then laugh it off.... "

Redd's tone of voice hadn't changed in the least, he'd taken a much worse beating that than in the past . Any strain that might have been heard would be stifled by the black mist that rolled towards the two. Oddly enough This began effecting their other senses as well-- but then again when was anything EVER normal in these parts.

The Red thread-like vines would pulsate their beet-red color quite a few times before settling back on their dead red color that was closely matched to the appearance of blood. This was Chiwosuu-- Blood suck, this ability would have begun siphoning off reiatsu from where ever they'd connected be it the vizard-- Colin, or the trees of the seireitei. A constant stream of reiatsu was being filtered converted into Redd's own as the passed through the threads.

Redd had taken the time that Colins attention was apart from him to activate two more of his abilities.
" Kurai! "
This single word was spoken-- rolling off his tongue, ending on a breathy note. Had anyone been able to see him they would have noticed waves of black-- originating from his pupils that moved like water across his eye, the new color covering the whole of his conceivable eye-ball. This would allow him to see the darkness--though the only drawback of this was that Redd was only capable of seeing on the same spectrum of color that was the same as a dogs-- everything way grey. Otherthan this fact Redd was able to see as clear as day.
"Twisted sicker than mad cattle, in fact I'm off six different liquor with a prince wig plasered on..."


The upper left of Redd's blades began rotating-- thus emitting a high-pitched ringing sound that persisted in spite of the fact that the spinning stopped only moments later. Each of these two would have a major decline in their senses of Sight, Smell, Sense of direction, Balance, and Hearing. The resonating ringing effect would hand in their ears -- blocking out most noise. Even if Colin was to use his sight--reiatsu ability his sight would be effected-- making the special properties of

Colin would be effected to a degree that brought his hearing down by 60% and all other senses down by about 20%-- while this may not have been much-- it supplemented the effects of Tesomes own ability. Tesome would feel the blunt of these abilities-- His hearing declining by 85% and all other things listed by 45%.

Colin would be left with a total of 40% in all other aspects besides hearing and sight -- which would most likely be completely gone.

Redd shunpoed to the left side of Tesome-- again using micro-shunpo to bring his hand within inches of the males chest. He went on to tap him in the spot just beneath his breast.
Had this action landed it would alleviate Tesome of the abilities of Redd's Jizen Ni.
