1. Even though his Balas didnt do their job completely, his sword had. The cuts that appeared on Colins body certainly werent anywhere near fatal, but it did help weaken him. As they fought, Stefan was ut 2 maybe 3 times, none deeper than an inch. He was a master at the way of the blade, after having training only his sword skill for 300 years straight. Merely slashing with claws was all Colin had showed him, certainly not enough to prove anything.

Laughing at the improved version of the green Reitsu attack, Stefan stepped back, and put his blade in front of him. Still laughing, he cut straight through the "Green Swordfish", causing it to split and explode when it hit the ground next to the harbor. He noticed Colin was doing something, but realized he was just putting his Hollow mask on. So why not do the same?

Stefan brought his left hand to his face, bringing it within inches of his forehead. He dragged his hand down, creating a mask from nothing. His mask had long ears, black eye holes, "teeth" like pieces that covered where his mouth would be, and slash marks on his right temple and left eye. His Reitsu changed as well, turning darker and much larger. Anybody would know he was much stronger than he had been just moments before.

Stefans yellow eyes were just barely visible in his masks eye holes, preventing people from being able to tell what he was thinking. He drew in a breathe, still smelling and tasting the salt in the air. It was relaxing, he thought. Stefan knew he had a good relationship with his Inner Hollow, which gave him almost perfect control over his powers. Though, the only REAL power he gained was even more skill with his blade, which was dying to fight again.

"You know, using your mask will only make things worse for you. Once you cant use it anymore, you will be exhausted, in a worse state than when you first put it on. And if you lose control, thats certainly going to be detrimental as well. You will lose control, and I may not be able to hold back against a crazed Hollow. I will do what i can, but if you go overboard, I will as well. Good luck young one....Shockwave"

A wave of wild Reitsu energy similar to the make up of a Cero washed over the land, emanating from his left hand. The gold covered not only the harbor, but the water did as well. The destructive force eventually reached Colin. What he did next would determine how long he lasts against Stefan.

Stefan charged up a Cero in each hand, the black Reitsu building and building. He watched as his previous ability destroyed buildings and boats alike. The entire area had been hit, destroying whatever had been left from his earlier attacks. Finally compeltely charged, he launched his Ceros at Colin.



2. Stefan watched as Colin just barely dodged and survived the explosion. While it wasnt completely successful, Stefan had managed to do some serious damage to Colin. He knew it wouldnt be enough to end the fight, especially since Colin seemed to focus on speed. Surprised, Stefan noticed a few body modifications done to Colins body. Why would he do this? Why would he rely on mechanical objects, and not his own power?

Stefan was still charging up his Cero to max levels as Colin prepared his Green Swordfish attack. Stefans eyes widened as he saw the burst of green Reistu fly towards him faster than it had before. When Colin appeared behind him, Stefan grabbed him and chucked him away. Right as the blast of green Reitsu was about to hit Stefan, he launched his Cero at the attack, causing a huge explosion in close proximity to Stefan. The green and black Reitsus mixed, swirling around each other.

Colin had shot 3 times from his odd gun, each one increasing the size of the explosion. After a few minutes, it settled down and the smoke from it began to clear. As the smog dispersed, one could see Stefan still standing, breathing heavily, and with his clothes torn and burned to tatters. He had been hit by the explosion, but he had weakened his damage by launching his Cero.

"Whew. Not bad, for one such as yourself. You should consider quitting the Visored Corps and joining me at the Monsuta. I could use your power there.....but not you must face my Paragon Blade, Shade, and Shockwave."

A sword similar to Stefans Zanpakuto appeared near him, floating in the air. A wave of black went over Stefans skin, hardening it to the point where it resembled the Hierro of an Espada. Lifting his left hand, Stefan launched a wave of gold Reitsu, just like he had before, except this time it was much stronger and faster. Stefan took out his Elemental blade, set it to lightning, and gripped it with his left hand. He then made his Steel Sword appear, and gripped the hilt with his teeth. He now held 3 swords, with another floating in the air.

Stefan disappeared, melting into darkness, as the floating sword flew at Colin. Stefan reappeared next to Colin, appearing to form from his shadow, as that was Shades affect. With all 3 swords, Stefan launched a series of attacks on Colin, while his floating sword attacked from Colins other side.
