A Fight and Nothing More

Cero walked within a wasteland, it was a barren place that didn't have a single thing to hide behind. To be exact, you could almost look in every direction and find that each way looked near exactly the same. The only thing that made each of them different was the fact that the sky was different in every direction. In a few direction, you could find the sun shining out at him and in every other direction. Cero could see many different formations of clouds, that were each unique like a person in their own way. This wasn't why Cero was present here though as he stopped eventually looking around him once again taking in the wasteland area.

No, he was here at the moment for a fight, and he was looking forward to it with no regrets. This seemed to be the perfect are for it to take place in to him and he was certain that Zero and Key couldn't of picked a better place than this one. He wanted to be better than those two, no actually he wanted nothing to do with those to, and with this fight, he would forge his own fight. He wouldn't listen to the whispers of the mysterious voice and he wouldn't connect with the mindset of either being that created him. He would be forging his own path to trend down, and start his own unique life, that wasn't the carbon copy of one that already existed before him. That was after all what life was suppose to be after all, a unique thing that no one else had quite the same thing.

So now Cero waited for the arrival of his opponent within his sight in a barren land with no life beside his and whoever entered.

He eventually spotted his worthy target and smirked as it spoke to him, speaking of Malice and atonement. This did not come across his mind though as he rushed at shinigami. He took note of her current position and focused on her hands watching for her to draw her Zanpakutō or utilize them in some way. Hopefully, they would eventually reach the shinigami, draw his Zanpakutō that was in the shape of a katana, and stab at her. Going straight for the chest if he reached this point, but if he didn't hit or not, Cero would continue with his style of sword fighting. Cero had a unique way of just going for stabs and only using his Zanpakutō long enough for attacks rather than for everything, including his counters and defense. So as his barrage of stabs came to an end, he would sheath his Zanpakutō once more.

During all of this time, Cero's focus wouldn't break on the target and he would push back making distance between them. He opened his mouth wide as a cero formed from it and would fire out at the current location of the target. If they got hit, then he would smile with a very small grin. But if it missed then he would find himself around a very crafty shinigami. Something that neither Key or Zero have encountered or at least claimed to have never come across in their lives. But this must have been Cero's lucky day and this was only the warming up opening act to the show. The truly fun stuff would only begin later around the climax, where a winner was decided.

So, his stab with his Zanpakutō and his cero had done nothing to benefit him as she blocked both of them with taking no form of damage. He felt that this was about the time that he released as two of her now charged on him with swords and shields. He half way drew his Zanpakutō and a single effect activated and as they rush at him a wave of vibrations would push forth in all directions, moving at the speed of sound as they did so. This should cause either a push back of some sort or making them pause their approach unless they could somehow push past the wave of sound energy. After that, Cero would fully draw his Zanpakutō and hold the dulled part of his blade to his arm. As he would speak the sword would be absorbed into his arm.

"Soul Unification." He would state and the sword would be completely within his arm now, gone from sight.

If they continued their charge at him they would find him waving his arm like he was going to swipe them with the arm that had absorbed the Zanpakutō. But a bigger effect was happening, in the air around him form a massive arm of energy and instead of having a hand, it's hand was a sword blade. From gathering the energy in the area, this arm was formed, like a quincy would gather energy for their bow. In essence, getting caught by this thing might as well make your day for eternity. So following the motions of it's controller, the blade arm that was twenty five feet long, would swipe across in the direction of the shinigami and it's clone. You could hear him cracking up laughing as he now made his approach towards the shinigami. If it ever made it's mark on the shinigami or the clone, it would likely disperse, the same would be stated if they hit the arm with something other than their swords and shields.

This was only the beginning of a grand battle between a Shinigami and a Hohl Arquiero.
