Tsukiryuu Crow

Watashi wa Kuro no Kenshi

He had called Iriko out for a spar because well he needed it one and two he needed to see where Iriko was in terms of his fighting skill. Sure he may have been one of the swords of the Crow family, but it didn't mean that he was exactly weak either. In terms of battle potential Tsukiryuu was very hard to predict due to his balance so far. He wondered where his true potential lay currently and why not go see the one guy that taught him Kidō when he was young and messin' up. The feeling where one didn't know what he would do and knew that guidance was necessary in order for him to get what he wanted in terms of understanding himself he would need to figure out his heart in this battle and make sure he knew what he was going for. His heart began to beat a bit faster as his eyes closed for a second. He bit his lip gently in thought as he opened his eyes and opened up that menu with his left hand now. Using his right hand he began to shift through the menus quietly waiting for Iriko Crow to arrive. That blast of his emotions were coming out as he began to equip himself. He placed on that legendary Coat of the BlackDragon on him. Then he had Dark Repulser and Elucidator out and ready to go at this point now. He just needed a bit more focus as he wondered how this fight would go.

He knew that Iriko had a water based Zanpakutō, well because when he had trained with him he obviously showed it. He spoke to Kurohime gently as if he was talking to a princess "Oh well Hime, you know how these battles get when you get serious in a battle you can't just say you have all the answers. I can't breathe some times in these battles, and yet I desire to fight more and get stronger, Isn't that an Issue? So I must fight until I die, I can't escape here Kurohime, not that I want to really, but I must be strong for the people I believe in. I must become as strong as the moon so to speak and keep my cool when shit goes down it's why I'm going to be fighting Iriko-sama. It's the only way I have to get stronger is to keep fighting and learning. There are no logouts here, this is my only chance to survive and I will beat this, so I must take the medicine, and walk to the end." As he finished his little speech to his Zanpakutō spirit he wondered if he really convinced her of his goals or was she just rolling over and pretending that she believed in him. He could only wonder what was on the mind of his Zanpakutō spirit when she was yelling at him for not being more adamant on his feelings lately. He just wondered if he knew the truth of his heart or not. This was a battle that he would end up knowing at the end of this fight, but for now he'd have to keep it down a notch until it kicked off the battle. That would be the deciding factor in how this battle went off.

Finally he'd grasp the hilts of Dark Repulser and Elucidator and draw them waiting for Iriko to come. He'd close his eyes for a moment in thought. He was deciding a core factor if he'd go all out or not. That was the issue at hand. He wondered how Iriko would take this challenge of the youngest Crow to the much older male. Much to his dismay or proper feelings he would just roll with it. He did not know where this battle would lead them, but he knew one thing, he was ready for this fight. He woudl show him the power of being a Sword, he may have been a part of the Dragons but he had his own dragon and power, and he would show him how it worked out for him. The other pressing thought on his mind, would he ever be able to surpass his father or was he stuck being weak like this. He didn't know yet his true potential so he couldn't just say oh hey, I'm going to just do this and know I'm getting stronger. There was a bit of hesitation in his eyes when he knew that he was going to have issue in this deciding battle between his "uncle" and himself. He did remember Iriko's strengths but he was just teaching him back then. This time he was seriously going to come at him and fight him so did that mean he would be able to get past Iriko or Jaeden in the end. He was just wondering one single thing however. How in the hell did he get powerful enough to use Bankai in the first place. He wondered what Iriko really thought of him now. Once he was set up however he'd wait for Iriko and close that menu in front of him so that he was ready for the battle that would either shape him up in the terms of his own power and skill or was it really him just listening to his heart and going with it.?

That was the question of the day, his power or his heart was his true power.

Standing here there is my student. Fighting him it seems is prudent. To him I am the one with might. But hope it seems is not my light.

Iriko Crow

The Dragon of the North, Seiryuu

….This is… The black-haired male thought to himself, his kimono open and revealing his bare pectorals and upper stomach as he walked along, the bubble mix that he owned sticking out of where the fabric met. I'm meeting with a student… He pondered simply with himself, before looking up a t the sky. Even my old student is part of it.. He thought to himself, his small eye narrowing, in what appeared to be actual rage. However, after a moment, it vanished again, as he continued to walk through the forest, making his way to over to where the spar was to be held.

At last, his feet pressed down onto the ground, his sandals clomping as he appeared within the small clearing where Tsukiryuu was waiting, the bright sun hanging over the heads of the two men as the y stood across the planes from one another, Iriko's right hand moving over to his chest, his left hand hanging at his side, his eyes closed as he mentally prepared himself. "Tsukiryuu. Today I will be fighting you as a man. Prepare yourself and blame none other than yourself should you become mortally wounded…" He muttered, his eyes opening at last, an intense gaze within them, his mouth turning into a long, hard line, his hair shifting on his head as he readied himself, air flowing through his nostrils.

"Because I will be blowing as a warrior." He stated simply, bringing the small blower that almost seemed to be like a miniature brass instrument up to his lips, pointing the end of it first at Tsukiryuu, and then holding it up into the sky. His cheeks filled with air, as bubbles began to flow out of the tip of it, hundreds of the things pouring out, blowing all over the place as they hung in the air, seeming to have perfect balance as they all stopped in varying points off of the ground, covering the area in bubbles that were all refracting the light of the sun, most likely causing small vision problems for the younger Crow and making it harder for him to see, more easily distracted from the small refractions.

However, Iriko was not done yet, as he blew one last bubble, which rapidly began to flow out of his blower, changing into the shape of a sword as he held the blower in his hand like a sword grip, locking eyes with the younger male as his body stepped forwards, vanishing in a shunpo as he appeared in front of the young man. His right hand flashed out, slamming into Tsukiryuu's side as Iriko's left hand reached out, grabbing onto the surface of another nearby bubble, feeling as its shape changed into that of a short-blade with hilt, throwing it forwards as he slashed down at Tsukiryuu's right arm as he suddenly stopped, his legs pressing down as he leaped off of the ground, jumping back a ways as at last he came to a stop, his right hand pointing at Tsukiryuu.

"Hadō 4: Byakuyrai." He stated simply, his eye narrowing to half mast as without warning a burst of intense lightning shot from his fingertips, even though he had not used the incantation the force was so great that if Tsukiryuu allowed himself to be hit by the rapidly moving attack then he would most likely be badly burned by it, perhaps even stunned for a few moments, as Iriko dipped his bubble blower in the little pipe on his chest that was held by a necklace string, bringing it back up to his mouth again as he blew on it, bubbles shooting out and covering all along his body, a small field of bubbles around him as he stared at the younger male, his gaze locked onto the man's body as he watched him with a cool, calculating gaze, awaiting whatever it was that he would do.

He has grown for certain in the time that we have been separated. I find it highly unlikely that he knows what happened to me in the time when I was gone. He thought simply to himself, not actually thinking about the experience itself. He's never seen my Bankai before; and it's also highly unlikely that I ever showed him the true extent of my Shikai, either. I suppose I'll see how hard I can go on him during the course of the fight… The man continued to think to himself, his deeply analytical mind taking in everything and examining it, prepared for whatever was about to come next…

Tsukiryuu Crow

Watashi wa Kuro no Kenshi

So he went all out with bubbles, trying to punch his side the then stab him then shoot a Kidō. Well that was pretty much a large order, did he think that Tsukiryuu would just stand there? Sure, He was Fast, and Tsukiryuu was too, but the rub was that the one thing that Iriko didn't imagine was that the reflexes of Tsukiryuu was dangerous. So for him to assume that he couldn't react to all what was going on was a grave misunderstanding. Using Mangetsu, he'd move at top speeds, and he'd move out of those damn bubbles path going into the skies and seeing that he'd leave an after image of his movements, hopefully he kept up with the fact he moved very quickly into the air. Releasing some energy on his blade as he would smirk a bit. So this was the issue of the moment he had all of these bubbles and he was just making a mess of the situation. So he would wonder what he would do in this moment in time. Unleashing his focus a bit he'd assess the situation as it was. So far he was in the air safe from the bubbles for a moment and Iriko was going for broke it seem. Assuming that he couldn't handle this. Welp this is the plan to take him out, well not kill him, but make him respect his power because he was going to make this hard. Tsukiryuu definitely respect Iriko he wasn't the Fifth Division captain for nothing, but he could not let his respect just go too far and allow it to distract him from fighting Iriko seriously.

Taking a breath he'd release the energy on Elucidator and making it shoot down where Iriko would be stabbing his after image with his hand then the sword, but regardless. The issue would he be caught into the blast, and well Tsukiryuu would have his shunpo active using the holy energy created from his soul in the blade of Dark Repulser now. So here was the second rub depending on how this worked, He'd release holy energy into an attack and hoped it would hit Iriko from where ever he moved from his position when he realized what he struck wasn't Tsukiryuu but a simple clone of his. So the second issue after those counters he was smirking a bit. As his eyes closed a bit then he'd speak lowly almost as if he was chanting a bit and at the same time releasing his energy. "Elucidator, Show your darkness." Then Elucidator released from it's original form gaining a bit more of a shine on its obsidian blade. It was kind of funny now because Dark Repulser reacted to the darkness of Tsukiryuu's Zanpakutō making it realize that it was in the darkness of his Zanpakutō and that meant it would be going on hard. This was a difficult battle to do because of the overwhelming spam of his bubbles. Which were a pain in retort of Iriko's mini-speech that he said when he attacked him he'd respond to that with the same amount of force in his words showing his desire to beat him and get stronger. Tsukiryuu could only afford to get stronger and more on the level of the other crows, because if he didn't then he would be useless to the family and that would be bad for him, since he wanted to be a use to the family.

"You definitely blow like a warrior sucking dick indeed, but you also act like I'm going to be overwhelmed by your simple spam attacks. I'll show you why I'm a Dragon too Iriko! It will be demonstrated through my own hands. Hadō #32. Ōkasen! (黄火閃)" He'd generate it through his hand. since Dark Repulser's handle could take the heat from the attack and sends it through the Byakurai eating the attack up and sending it back Iriko, wondering how he would take it as he released the energy behind his Dark Repulser adding that power to the attack effectively making a holy rail-gun of energy that would be sent at Iriko, no matter what it hit, definitely there would be a nice boom from the whole usage of energy collisions. It was kind of a violent way to fight, but Tsukiryuu had to fight Iriko seriously or he would have a very bad end. WHile he was releasing his Shikai however, he would make sure to go higher into the air ash is coat ruffled more and more from the winds being whipped up from the battle. He couldn't help it now It was getting a bit crazy and the energy that Tsukiryuu was releasing currently could tip off people in the area to get the fuck out of there. It wasn't like Tsukiryuu wasn't going to go all out against him, wel lthat would remain to be seen for the time being. Only one question hit the mind of the young Crow, who the hell did Iriko think he was?

A raging battle, men just like cattle, a harmonious symphony,

Iriko Crow

The Dragon of the North, Seiryuu

The male watched as the younger Crow leaped high up into the air, dodging all of his attacks. Very well then, suppose that this battle will move into the bubble's true territory, the sky. He thought to himself, feeling some amount of poetic glory within it as he held his right hand up to his mouth once again, his bubble blower pointed straight upwards as he blew from its tip. From the sword, a swirl of bubbles, large and small began to rise up, some as big as Iriko's body and some smaller than his hand rising up as they began to spread out around Tsukryuu, covering around the area fairly well but with some obvious gaps; Iriko wasn't aiming to make the place one big bubble, after all.

He listened to what Tsukiryuu had to say on the subject of blowing as a warrior, sighing at his immaturity in the case but understanding that it may well be just the way that the young man dealt with the stress of battle. "Such language is unbecoming in the midst of a battle, it could get you killed… Not to mention you'll never find a lady-friend like that…" Iriko stated simply, his neck craning upwards to look at Tsukiryu. A level thirty spell… He thought simply, as he held his right hand up, wondering what he should do in reply to it. "…" He said nothing, as he brought the bubble blower in his hands to his lips. He was pointing the instrument at the oncoming attack, as from his lips a single bobble emerged, floating in the sky as the massive blast came into contact with the attack.

As the bubble came into the contact with the attack, it simply burst. Without warning from the bubble shot a massive amount of blue fire, as it shot out all around the attack that Tsukiryuu had sent out, the two attacks cancelling one another out in a gigantic wave of energy as it blew out all over the area, masking the scene as another blast was shot down by Tsukiryuu, heading straight for Iriko as his body reappeared from the smoke some distance away, the blast of holy energy having only grazed one of his legs, creating what looked like a small wound, blood dripping in small amounts form it as he had used the smoke to dodge, which also helped him as it made Tsukiryuu's aim not target him exactly, as without warning his body performed another shunpo, reappearing at Tsukiryuu's side as his feet connected onto a bubble below him, shooting up from it as he slammed his feet into another bubble, hopping off of that one as well as he was now directly above Tsukiryuu, and most likely had thrown him off from accurately tracing Iriko as he threw his right hand out, performing another slash as he went by him, his blade striking out at Tsukiryuu's back as the lithe man flew past, the wind catching his garment and blowing it all about.

He threw his body around, landing on a final bubble, standing on top of it as he looked at Tsukiryuu, holding the bubble blade in his hand. His eyes locked onto the other man's as without warning from directly behind Tsukiryuu,a bubble popped. Released from its confines, another Hadō 4: Byakurai shot from the bubble, as a whisper came out of Iriko's breath, as from his pantleg shot a current of electricity, another Kidō being used as it connected into the bubble causing it to burst as well as another bolt of Byakurai shot out, the two bolts slamming into one another exactly where Tsukiryuu had been standing, and Iriko now stood in the air, another bubble around his body, holding him up in the air as he stared at Tsukiryuu.

"Tell me, Tsukiryuu… What is YOUR reason for desiring this spar. Taking out all other variables, every other being other than yourself, all other natures except for that of your soul- why do you desire this?"

Tsukiryuu Crow

Watashi wa Kuro no Kenshi

Awakening the facts of the situation, was his goal and it made sense that Iriko moved at his speeds like that. Tsukiryuu was definitely surprised by the skill of Iriko currently. He didn't want to activate his eyes yet, so he didn't although the visual increase would be nice, but he wouldn't do that right now. That would not be necessary yet. Sure he had some of the upper hand, but Tsukiryuu had his own. Using his naturally high reflexes and skills with his swords being mindful of the fact there was other attacks coming and he slightly had caused him to be nicked, and his own jacket had a bit of damage from his own resulting blasts. So he'd keep his focus on taking out Iriko, well sure his language was unbecoming for someone like him, but this was the way he was letting go of all his anger and rage in that moment. He couldn't help it, if they couldn't handle it. Tsukiryuu didn't understand why he was fighting so hard now. He just wanted to train and this got serious very quickly, and as for that he took it seriously now. He was going to try to relax, but he couldn't afford to anymore. Allowing Iriko so slam his hand into Dark Repulser's blade, hopefully either clashing with him or causing him to be cut then using those precious moments to gather energy on Elucidator and release it in a large blast that would knock both of them back and cause both damage, more to Iriko focusing the blast in his direction and him getting hit with the reciprocal damage. Sure it was a harsh tactic, but it was necessary for Iriko to get into his head to stop trying to rush him like that.

So once the explosion happened he had to deal with the dual lightning blasts that looked pretty cool, and he was using his battle healing to semi-recouperate, but by no means was a a complete heal, it'd help him keep healthy. Releasing his mind's own limiters he knew that he would have to keep his power building up. He'd definitely got grazed from the sneak attack as he'd look up and see that Iriko was definitely serious about his attacks. As he asked him a very important question, why was he doing this, was it to remove variables or was it to awaken his full dragon eye limits. He didn't know, but it was becoming clear. He couldn't suppress their release much too longer. It was getting too much for him to not release them. Not because of anger, but of fear of dying. He didn't want to die, he wanted to keep on fighting until he couldn't, but he didn't want to die! He couldn't die! Dying was so scary you never knew what would come next after death. He couldn't of known, but he was so scared of death it kept him more alive than ever. He couldn't explain it yet as he began to fight with his inner dragon so to speak. Iriko should of noticed the flickering in Tsukiryuu's eyes by now. He remembered the time where the Kidō battle nearly had killed him and so his breathing became a bit more ragged and unstable as his heart began to beat faster,.

"...I.. don't know..I don't know I don't know!" He felt his energy just becoming more and more unstable as it unleashed violently around him as the beams of lightning would be slammed back his reiatsu fully releasing as he didn't release bankai, but something was coming that was very different than before. His energy shifted from the normal to Lunar and Holy Mixing. His bangs dropped on his eyes for that moment as his tone became cold, and his voice devoid of emotion. "I'm scared of death, and you nearly killed me once, I need to know if I can handle this job otherwise I shall resign, I need to know that I'm not scared anymore. I need to face my fears of being a death god. I'm so scared of death and dying I'm unwillingly releasing my eyes, I can't suppress them anymore It hurts too much to not release them, because I need to not be scared of death. I need to stop feeling so scared I'm fighting you to stop hiding in my own shell. I'm tired of feeling like I'm all alone in this world. I'm tired of people thinking death is a joke. I'm going to beat you Iriko. I can feel it rising with in me... Awaken Eiryū!" Well the bad foreshadowing was only going to get worse from here on out, because the area around Tsukiryuu was getting increasingly dark until there was no light around him for about five seconds. Then something happened.

Cold, bright, violent Blood Red eyes were staring out from the darkness as a piercing roar came forth from the darkness as it began to remove away the darkness and smoke from around Tsukiryuu. The Dragon that was hidden within Tsukiryuu was awakening and it began to manifest. It's shiny black scales were offset by it's red belly and red shins and such. It had four marks on it's neck that looked like circles filled with red in them. As it finished fully manifesting, Tsukiryuu's eyes shifted from the normal yellow when he normally manifested into the Red of his Dragon's true awakening within him. For once in his life he didn't look scared or worried as it he had nothing to hold him back. The Dragon just seemed to look at Iriko then at Tsukiryuu nuzzling him for a few moments then roaring again as the winds around Tsukiryuu were whipped up removing his bangs for a few seconds. Iriko should of seen the shift in the eyes. If anything this was a monumental change from Tsukiryuu's normal Nature. This was the form that had been digging at him to be released. It was the true form of his Dragon eyes, and not the watered down version that all of those had seen. Dark Repulser at first reacted negatively.

Upon the reaction of Tsukiryuu and the Dragon it became apparently clear that the dragon was just the true manifestation of his eyes, and that his eyes had fully evolved from their infantile stage. Tsukiryuu petted the Dragon as it began to slip back into his body. As it did that Iriko should of been able to notice now that Tsukiryuu's Reitasu smelled of that Dragon, and he smelled of the true form of a crow finally. Tsukiryuu pointing Elucidator powering it up with not only the with his magic from the Zanpakutō, but the energy from his Dragon eyes making the blade be covered in the darkness/lunar powers for a bit, as it became more obvious his Dragon eyes weren't of the Moon, they were of Shadow of the Moon. As his breathing calmed down a bit Iriko should of noticed it was charging up a bit more, and then releasing as a large explosion of energy that would easily eclipse a mile radius knocking everything that was standing down around the two, and at the same time sending them both flying because of the sheer amount of power. In that one moment Tsukiryuu seemed to be free of all of his negative emotions that were piling up in his head in the first place, and began to relax and learn more about his eyes in this fight than he could ever. Tsukiryuu began to wonder what his true potential was from this fight.

The Rage Consumes us. The Rage Resumes us. The Rage Keeps us Whole. The Rage Keeps This Toll.

Iriko Crow

The Dragon of the North, Seiryuu

"...why so mad…"

The dark-haired individual muttered to himself, watching Tsukiryuu release the blast as Iriko himself was blown backwards, landing on his bubble. ...There's something wrong here… He thought to himself, still watching the younger male. ..He's getting far too upset… The male realized, his own eyes widening slightly as he watched Tsukiryuu.…

Iriko merely stared at Tsukiryuu, his gaze unchanging, although slightly more… disappointed? "You don't… know." He said calmly, looking at Tsukiryuu. "…" Iriko merely let Tsukiryuu rant, not saying a single thing or interrupting him as he entered his stream of conscious. At last, he finished, telling something to awaken. In the five seconds of time, Iriko said a single thing, and that was all. "...Why?"

That one word was all that he asked, as all he had time to ask, before without warning he saw the two pinpricks of red light. He stared as what seemed to be scales began to rapidly be forming around Tsukiryuu's body, as it took the solid form of a dragon. However, as this was happening, Iriko had placed his blower back in his mouth again, and now it was spewing out hundreds of bubbles, floating all around Iriko in the air, refracting light, staying all around the male like a storm of bubbles around his body, although he could still see Tsukiryuu clearly.

"...That you…" Came out Iriko's voice, but there was something different. It seemed… strained, stressed. Not normal in the least for the calm Captain of Squad Five. "That you would…" He repeated, his body shuddering behind the bubbles, his eyes hidden behind his own long bangs, before at last he looked up at Tsukiryuu, staring directly at him with a great amount of force, a strained gaze, stressed, sad, angry, and openly hostile. "THAT YOU WOULD DARE SHOW THAT… THING... IN FRONT OF ME… TSUKIRYUU!!" He cried out, as the massive blast of energy fired from the male, slamming into Iriko as he merely stood there, as the top part of his cloak was blasted to smithereens, the very top part of his chest bleeding, blod descending from it, the rest of his body having concentrated the damage to that one spot.

His voice absolutely roared, as he shot forwards, flying out of out of the storm of bubbles as they were drawn by the current of his body, floating around him as he shot forwards, slamming in front of him, holding his blade up high as without warning, all the bubbles that were around his body changed into blades. "BUBBLE…. RAID…!" He roared, his voice still strained as without warning the blades around his body slammed into Tsukiryuu with their full force, hundreds of them slamming into the younger Crow with their varying sizes, only the ones around Iriko changing, the others around him merely beginning to swirl about the area.

Meanwhile, the very weather of the area was beginning to change. It had been a simple light snow up until this point, until without warning the snow changed. Without warning, the entire area was covered in a downpour, a flash of lightning shooting down a single time into the ground, revealing the agitated Iriko as his bubble blade moved without warning, repeatedly slashing into Tsukiryuu as all the Bubble blades around his body became hard as rocks as they struck into Tsukiryuu, meaning that if they hit they would be most certainly able to draw blood. "DO you… HAVE ANY… IDEA…?" He demanded of the young man, the downpour matting his hair down as he thrust his right hand at Tsukiryuu, his arm shaking and shuddering, his cringing, short, hacked breaths holding him back as his arm struggled, his mouth opening to try to form words, but eventually stopping in that attempt, as at last he clenched his teeth down tightly, a noise like a wounded animal emerging fro his throat as at last he moved his lips.

"Great Power, Form in my Hand! Blow them away, and run them astray! Hadō Fifty-Nine, Bakuhatsu-ha!" Iriko stated simply, as from his hand a strange thing began to happen. Reiatsu simply began to POUR out of his hand. Iriko had used an actual incantation for a Kidō, and the Kidō that he was creating was a great cannon of reiatsu energy that launched at the opponent in the shape of the cube. The size of the cube was affected entirely for the skill of the user. This meant that Iriko's cube was utterly massive, simply gigantic, indescribably huge cube launched out of his hand, bigger even than the dragon that Tsukiryuu had formed just moments ago, as the massive cube flew into where Tsukiryuu had been standing, as it touched a bubble, even if it didn't touch Tsukiryuu.

This triggered the second part of the massive cannon blast; when it comes into contact with something, it explodes and knocks everything near it back a massive distance. It would deal burning damage from the massive explosion, not to mention slightly stun Tsukiryuu if he was near it, as the blast was so loud that Iriko's own ears currently had bubbles over them, hidden in his hair, preventing him from going deaf from the attack that could knock out a human's hearing for weeks. "If you are so… scared of dying." He continued, the strain still slightly in his voice.

"Then die already and get over your fear." He told the man, holding up his right hand, holding his bubble blower to the side.

"Baburu, Roku Namekuji!"

He stated simply, as without warning his face began going through his own change. Without warning, two eye sockets seemed to rise out of his head, a couple inches above his eyes and in his hair. They were not his eyes; but they resembled the feelers of a slug that allow it to sense what is happening in its surroundings. As he did so, a strange thing began to happen, as his right arm became drenched from his pores, covered in… slime. He threw the right hand out, the slime shooting straight forwards and aimed towards slamming straight into Tsukiryuu's face, like a pile of mud in its texture. However, the physical change wasn't the only thing that had become different. Tsukiryuu would feel disgust. Deep, deep disgust from the very pit of his stomach, just by being near Iriko. His spiritual pressure did not press on Tsukiryuu at all, he would not be able to feel it. However, he would still feel that deep, intricate disgust towards what Iriko was becoming.

"...Are you prepared to Die, Tsukiryuu?"

Clash of Dragons. [Iriko versus Tsukiryuu.] KirigayaKazutofull1291632_zps64e3e9a0

Tsukiryuu Crow

Watashi wa Kuro no Kenshi

So that was how Iriko was going to play it huh! He was going to be like that! Call out the fear well he could just go fuck himself for his bullshit. As the blast hit Iriko and he went Shikai, Tsukiryuu got blasted by that blast of energy as he yelled out in pain. but at the same time his rage began to increase greatly, but his dragon knew that he would lose himself unless he took over jumped into the fray and pushed Tsukiryuu out of that, and began to make him focus. He was so angry so pent up with rage from Zefonse assaulting his father then telling him to go take care of the Soul Society. That pissed him off so badly. His eyes closed a bit more as he began to realize the power he had within him. As his left hand raised up into the air a large amount of meteors appeared in the skies as Tsukiryuu was so angry and confused. So for the most part Tsukiyuu did what he was thinking was best, and he didn't want to kill him, because he was feeling that he was being pushed into that kind of a route currently and he wasn't listening to him and yet this was the crux of the issue was that there was no listening involved he was just going on his own away and yet Iriko was lost into himself and Tsukiryuu was too. That made this situation worse. The summoning of the dragon, the release of their Shikai was a huge beacon, and now the damage in the area was starting to rise up. This place well around it would be destroyed soon.

Well hopefully Tsukiryuu wasn't going to start dropping those Meteors because once he did well he couldn't exactly stop them, and he was definitely willing to Iriko had pushed that button on him. Normally he would use this as a threat, but now it was more than just a simple threat this was war! This was going to be a bloody violent exchange. That coat of his could probably take two more shots of a blast life always moved on even when it didn't make sense. Tsukiryuu was just that kind of person if you pushed his limits he would push back, and this was a gross escalation of well pushing back. He wasn't just pushing back now he was pushing with force and desire to kill. He was embracing the dragon side of him allowing to flow through him Like a destructive storm on the horizon It was going to start raining. "Iriko... stand down... Or I will kill you." Well that was before he decided to try to kill him. Good thing Tsukiryuu still had some control otherwise well this place would of been obliterated by meteors. Anyway Holding them back Tsukiryuu Seeing Iriko flying at him sure he felt disgust, but it paled compared to the rage and hatred he was feeling currently at Iriko. As his energy began to fluctuate higher and higher as he'd use his sword and add energy into it then slam it into the fist of Iriko and Explode the energy to send both of them flying. Then Dark Repulser would reappear in the hand of Tsukiryuu.

"I guess I can't allow myself to hold back much longer." He'd say coldly almost like he was going to actually kill him. That was the intent of Tsukiryuu now to kill him. He would destroy the fear tied to Iriko. Sure he was scared of death, but now it was the fuel for him to get stronger and push his limits to their extremes and see how far they could go when pushed. Tsukiryuu was sure that he would kill him, or least nearly kill each other. That was the point now to nearly kill his loved one so that he could understand the pain that Tsukiryuu went through. He was so alone and lost in the world and he never could understand him unless this had happened. It was happening so that's how it would be, as for those meteors they were two seconds away from raining down, so Iriko had to act fast, either A destroy the meteors, or knock out his cousin, even though he probably wanted to kill him. Either way it involved quick decisions and quick executions, because Tsukiryuu either way it went down he wasn't scared to destroy all of it in his path. Iriko was in his path and that meant that he had to be destroyed or changed so that he wasn't in his path, so was Iriko really his friend and family or was he just a foe that deserved death because he was pushing his limits in terms of keeping it together, and he was going to either cause his death or save himself from the lie that had been built into Tsukiryuu. He couldn't understand this bullshit. He was attacking him as if trying to kill him, and that rain of Meteors were just waiting to explode all over the area.

Iriko Crow

The Dragon of the North, Seiryuu

"..."

The male was silent as his eyes looked up slowly towards the sky, seeing all of the meteors that were beginning to take shape above the male, his eyes wide and intense by this point as he stared at them, his blade moving to his right side as he stared firmly at them, almost as if he would break them with his gaze. His aura, however, remained one of intense disgust. As he continued to stare at the meteors, something appeared on his shoulder, crawling up out of his clothing. Its small stalks on the top of its head seemed to stretch around, as Sluggy stared out at Tsukiryuu.

Slowly, Iriko brought up his right hand as he spun around from the explosion, standing straight up as he brought the blade to his right side, a gust of wind touching his hair as he reached out his right hand. "If it's a fight to death you want..." He muttered to himself, as without warning slime began to flow from his left arm, creating a tower shield in front of him that would defend against most attacks, highly durable in its making. In his right hand, around his bubble pipe the rain that was now pouring on them began to freeze, Iriko's water control manipulating them into a spear, extremely sharp and durable as it was using the nature of his Zanpaktou. "Then I shall fight you to the death, and kill you." He told the boy shortly, as he shot forwards. "Hold back much longer?!" He demanded, as his composure slipped again for a moment, the look of hysteria coming into his eyes.

"THE TIME FOR HOLDING BACK HAS LONG PASSED!" He exclaimed as he slammed into Tsukiryuu, his right hand shooting forwards, aiming straight for Tsukiryuu's heart with a rapid rate of speed, knowing that it likely would not hit as his entire body shifted, reappearing behind Tsukiryuu with a shunpo, his spear swinging around as he slammed it into the back of Tsukiryuu's skull, attempting to disorient him as Iriko's mouth began to chew on something, something like gum, as he began to blow a bubble from his mouth, before without warning the bubble popped, and the Hadō Haien shot out, the purple fire shooting out as it slammed towards Tsukiryuu, most likely completely destroying his clothing and due tot he power of the Abolishing Flames wounding his skin very badly, as Iriko pushed off the sky, his body floating up effortlessly, as if he were a bubble himself, his Bubble Physiology trait in full effect as he rose up into the sky.

He threw up his right hand as he kept his eyes staring down at Tsukiryuu, as without warning an utterly stupefying amount of reiatsu formed around his body like a shell, as he opened his mouth wide, looking upwards towards the meteors above his head. Anythign that touched the field of reiatsu would find itself extremely burned and damaged by the level of force that it possessed, ending poorly for whatever touched it. His mouth opened slowly, before rapidly saying the incantation, his mouth still pointed upwards as the massive field of reiatsu shot into it, as the point of incantation became clear.

"Hadō 88 - Hiryugekizokushintenraiho!"

His voice rang out over the area, as from his mouth suddenly emerged a massive amount of energy, as his eyes turned completely white, consumed with power as from his mouth fired an absolutely massive amount of electricity, rising into the sky like a skyscraper as it rapidly became wider and wider, most likely stopping Tsukiryuu in his tracks just from the size of it and stunning him as he realized how much utter energy that the Captain of Squad Five could release, the greatest amount since Aizen himself as it shot up into the air, slamming into the summoned meteors and utterly consuming them, breaking them down into mere dust as it was unstoppable by any one of them, destroying them all in a great wave of destruction as the blast suddenly exploded, massive amounts of wind being shot out from the attack as the wind shot through the brush below the two men, shaking the trees rapidly and blowing away everything in the proximity away in gale-force winds.

"Hadō 63 - Raikōhō! Thunder Roar Sear!" He proclaimed, pointing his hand at Tsukiryuu once again as the massive blast of yellow fire left his hand, shooting towards the male and destroying massive amounts of the barren forest, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake and hopefully overtaking the young man, making it difficult for him to avoid the massive trail of destruction, as at last Tsukiryuu held up his right hand. "Form." He told nothing in particular, as something began to happen around his hand. In his right hand, slime had run down his arm, leaving a massive glob of it around his right hand. The slime began to compress in on itself, different colored slime merging inwards as they formed a simple pistol, forming around the bubble pipe with the pipe being where the barrel would have been normally, as Iriko's right finger gripped around the trigger.

"Hmm..." He muttered slowly to himself, as he blew more bubbles out of his mouth, feeling as he separated several of them, six of the green bubbles floating around himself as he stared at Tsukiryuu, and aimed the gun, taking three shots at him. His aim was very good; if Tsukiryuu did not dodge he would be hit. After all, that was the ability that was granted to him by the stalks atop his head; he could visualize things in a massive area around himself extremely clearly, all of his senses improved by the presence of those stalks atop of his head. As the bullets hit Tsukiryuu, two of them would create massive amounts of slime, enough to cover his entire body, in addition to a large amount of force from the bullet itself that would most likely break the skin and cause bleeding to form around the area where it made contact with the skin.

However, the last bullet was not like the first two. This one exploded into a burst of light blue, almost grayish form, covering around Tsukiryuu's entire body if it hit him, or the ground below him. This formed into ice, or something very much like ice. However, this ice had a special property; there was no friction allowable on it. This meant that if Tsukiryuu tried to move, he would find it immensely difficult to move properly, as the ice would not allow normal movement, taking a massive amount of effort to move properly while he was covered in it, and making him much easier for Iriko to target and deal damage to. However, for now, Iriko merely looked down on him, still above him in the air as he stared down at him, cocking the pistol's magazine one last time. It was the appearance of a G18, a gun that unknown to Iriko he had actually physically used in the time that he was in his haze on earth, meaning that he had experience using it.

"...Tsukiryuu, why are you so afraid? What happened to you to seal away yourself this badly? Did you think that its not understandable? Fear is easy to comprehend. I am afraid of things as well." He said simply, staring down at the man, and although the fierceness was still there, there was also the trace of pity. "I am afraid that the only person who ever cared about me will never accept me again. I am afraid that just by being in the Seireitei again I am hurting myself. I am afraid that you are going to be devoured by the monstrosity that is our family lineage. I am afraid that I may actually kill you because you are being so utterly reckless. I am afraid. I am so, so afraid." He shuddered, as he began to move the gun around, more slime flowing through his arm into its clip as the slime began to burst all over the ground, covering a large amount of the area around the two in slime, some of the slime even hitting the more durable bubbles, exploding on them rather than popping them and creating large floating piles of slime, as Iriko sighed, resting the gun at his side as he stared at Tsukiryuu.

"But most of all, I am afraid of what I will become as a result of this fear."

Tsukiryuu Crow

Watashi wa Kuro no Kenshi

So he went and shot down the meteors and caused enough damage to send them thousands of feet away yeah that was pretty good, but that also gave Tsukiryuu enough time to recoup and get his thoughts. So he was making guns and bullets and bubbles and such?! Yeah this was insanely going into the bowls of hell in matters of seconds because of how Iriko was snapping and Tsukiryuu was too, he did wonder how Tiamat would take this. Tsukiryuu could take more damage so could his Jacket, which was a huge issue at hand. The blasts that Iriko and Tsukiryuu were going through were pretty dangerous, and Tsukiryuu did manage to heal some of the pain of flying a good two-three thousand feet, and that helped a lot because it gave him a chance to focus and use his mind instead of forcing himself into Astral which would be something that's used in a situation like this, but he didn't want to use that, because that reduced his focus and sanity, which is necessary to keeping himself alive during the assaults of Iriko which were not going to subside soon, so he knew he would have to use this. "Elucidator...Bankai." He'd say it lowly to himself but it was enough to know what was going on. An Explosion of energy came from Tsukiryuu as that Kidō that was shot from a bubble had a problem destroying the Jacket, it was created for that kind of attack so yeah it hurt for a minute, but it was easily overtaken by the dragonic nature of the jacket. In Short he was taking a good amount of hits from the flames on his jacket.

"Did you burn my jacket? Shit Father will be pissed." Said in passing after realizing that Iriko continued his assaults like there was no problem. Then he goes for striking his skull and Dark Repulser would crash into the bubble spear and probably break it due to the overhwhelming power coming from it currently. Then he made that crazy gun and well began to shoot at him as well? THen another Kidō shot out. This was really getting out of hand fast, He knew that if he didn't get releasing it soon, he'd probably would die, or Iriko would nearly burn himself out, either way it wasn't pretty. This was not something as simple as overwhelming power. This was someone intent on killing and someone else just as intent on killing, but the main issue was that Iriko wasn't thinking on what Tsukiryuu would be doing now. Blocking the Hadō that was being shot the 63 on Elucidator, he'd smirk and pushes his energy into the blade and reflected the attack back. This wasn't Shadow parry, this was using his innate unreleased form's ability to the limit here, using it to reflect the attack back into the assault of slime and bubbles that Iriko was shooting out and more than likely shooting through. Then came the assault of Tsukiryuu, as his eyes were still red as blood and his face seemed to not want to do this, but he knew that he had to. Focusing a large amount of energy on the blades Tsukiryuu was going to be serious.

Using Elucidators energy blast first from the blade to shoot it off like a pathway for a railgun again. Using the darkness being emitted to strengthen and speed up the blast of Dark Repulser which ate the original blast of Elucidator and then did something fun added more to the AoE, Strength and Speed of the attack. It was getting a bit insane here. This was probably traveling as fast as his Hadō 88, and had the same punch as it using that amount of power. Tsukiryuu wasn't even done with this assault. Using the blast as a cover using Mangetsu he'd get into his sword range and then began to slash with Elucidator and with Dark Repulser in wild and violent slashes at Iriko speaking calming through each slash, if hit it or not would remain to be seen. "Iriko I don't want to kill you, I really don't want to... This is hard enough to just contain this thing within me, it hurts a lot.. But I know this is my pain I have to bear on my own." He'd say in distaste of the current situation but, he couldn't just say oh i'm going to roll over Iriko no that wasn't the point of the situation it was to get stronger and more understanding of his powers and this was definitely helping him to understand those powers that resided deep into his heart and soul currently, and that meant that he could get stronger and better at understanding the powers within his body and with the clan that he was apart of, and that meant bullshit would still arise, but he could live through it.

Continuing with that assault Iriko could tell he had taken a fair amount of damage himself, between their two exchanges Iriko and Tsukiryuu had proven to be quite powerful and quite frightening when they were pushed, but the real question was why he scared of the person he loved. [b]"If you love someone Iriko, why haven't you gone after her again, and shown that you're worth her mettle so to speak. I don't understand why you would seal yourself off from Love, unless it's too forbidden to talk about like if it was a sister or something. I will be fine Iriko... I can heal myself.. I'm more worried about this place than us since we're pretty much destroying it." He'd say probably between exchanging blows and trading hits that they shouldn't but this was a fight between family and usually they would get this violent because of the reckless nature between family members when it was pushed to this point. It was truly saddening, but at the same time it spoke volumes about who was going to do what when the time came for the both of them to prove their strength between each other. So what if it was not exactly perfect, it was a bonding moment never the less it was not like Tsukiryuu could read his mind, but there was a definitely missing of love in this guys life, he could tell from that pitiful expression on Iriko's face that he needed love a deep and strong love that would help him to become stronger and not fear so much about himself, because that was the most crippling thing at the moment his fear of everything.

Tsukiyuu wasn't going to be scared of death anymore.... As long as Iriko could work on his fear... could they do it. Well the most important question, who would really stop this fight from going too much more out of hand, Tsukiryuu or Iriko. That was the real question at hand. Depending on the situation it looked like neither were ready to completely back off, because well it looked like they were so sucked up into the fight they couldn't help that they were so wrapped up into that fight that it caused them to try to kill each other currently, which that wasn't a problem it seemed in both of their minds currently. Elucidator was trying to help heal the wounds on Tsukiryuu as he continued to fight Iriko to their limits it would seem.

Iriko Crow

The Dragon of the North, Seiryuu

"...Ban...kai…?" Iriko muttered to himself, turning his head around to stare at Tsukiryuu. "That's right… Other people's bankai don't make them horrifying creatures…" He muttered to himself, his body standing up straight as he stared at the male before him. He stared as he deflected the Kidō, his tongue clicking as his right hand reached out, grabbing onto another large bubble, pulling it towards himself in its entirety. He watched as the blast was thrown back towards him, as he merely held out his right hand, looking highly unamused as from his hand a parallel of the blast emerged, and the two identical attacks slammed into one another, as at last Iriko moved the bubble around, the energy being absorbed into the bubble and compounding, before he released the bubble, watching it slowly as it rose into the air.

"Your jacket...Did you not expect it to be harmed in battle…?" He asked the man before him, his eyes narrowed. As the man appeared before Iriko, he merely looked at him, using the gun in his hand to parry most of the slashes, his own swordsmanship reflected in his actions as without warning his eyes opened wide, feeling a massive slash appear in his left shoulder, his face wincing for but a moment as the blood splattered out, listening to what the man said. "SHUT UP!" He yelled at the man as he spoke, his eyes aflamed and awakened, looking straight at the man. "SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT! GET IT OUT IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO WHINE!" Iriko yelled back at the male, his voice filled with passion, but not ill intent.

"If all you do is hold back, how do you hope to help anyone?! How do you hope to EVER have a reason to fight! How do you ever expect to go anywhere? Your fear is doing nothing but cage you and you're allowing it! It's outright pathetic!!" Iriko spat, the spittle hitting onto the ground as it hardened onto the ground, sealing it. Then the boy started to speak again. And what he said… well, quite frankly, it would have been much better if he had listened to Iriko's advice and shut up before words came out of his mouth again.

"...Because the problem she has with myself isn't one that I can fix by my own efforts. It's an unchangeable part of myself, as unchangeable as your very soul." He continued, before he heard what the male had to say next, the blood from his wounds still dripping from himself, before at last he opened his eyes and stared right at the male. 'You know absolutely nothing about what you are talking Tsukiryuu. The weakness is not in my heart, like your fear. The weakness is in my soul, a place I am unable to pursue even if I would like to." He told the man before him, as slime appeared around his eye sockets, stretching slowly across his face, obviously tears, before looking up at him again, his eyes narrowing.

"Have you so little faith in me? I said that I would kill you, and I do not go back on my claims." He told him, his stalks parting onhis head as he noticed that Tsukiryuu's fear was beginning to vanish. "I was most certainly saying what I meant." He told the male before him, his right hand reaching over and gripping onto something, as without warning the massive amounts of bubbles began to float up from around the males, as Iriko looked at Tsukiryuu, his eyes wide and lurid, seeming deranged almost as he smiled a smile, a crooked smile, one of pain instead of happiness, one of sheer extraneous efforts. "You are missing one of the pieces, Tsukiryuu. The problem is that she will not accept my soul. And I cannot Change my soul! Ahahah!" He laughed, utterly insanely, as the thousands of bubbles around the two became apparent, having came from the slime and other bubbles, as Iriko held both arms out, his palms outstretched wide.

"Bubaru 2: Bubble's SNAP!"

His voice range out, as without energy all the bubbles, every single one of the bubbles around the pair of men, snapped, breaking, as energy began to stream from them, exploding with massive amount of force. Iriko's body became covered in the force of his reiatsu, lining his entire body with an immense amount of protection as a result of the way that reiatsu worked, not an action that he normally committed, but so much of his energy was being released all at once that it was as if the Captain's true spiritual pressure was showing, although in this case it was that in the sky the bubbles were exploding, sending hundreds of thousands of pounds of raw force and energy into the pair of them, and in the midst of it Iriko leaped forwards, through all the energy and the absolutely enormous amount of pain he was feeling from the pressure against the wounds on his body, even with his massive reaitsu. He was going all out, and most likely no matter what Tsukiryuu did the young male would be completely crushed under the attack, as Iriko shot towards him..

And pushed his bubble blower into the young male's forehead, as the majority of the blast, which had been held off until this point, rushed int forwards to claim the two of them in its massive blast, the very ground below them being rent by the massive force of the blast, which scaled upwards and downwards, vertically, from its point of origin and where it put all of its attention, in the center of where the two men were meeting, as Iriko felt his skin peeling away from most of his body, his clothing utterly obliterated in the attack, blood spewing all over from his body as the massive amount of force dealt him insane damage, the roar of the attack strong enough to be heard in the village over, as trees were uprooted from where they were buried, blown away by the massive amount of force that this attack possessed.

The din of the blast lasted for several seconds, encompassing the entirety of the two male's senses, as at last it dissipated, at last leaving them. Iriko, his face the only part of him that was not oozing slime as the slime caked around his body to help protect his wounds, looked down at Tsukiryuu, most likely knocked out completely from the raw force of the massive attack that had occurred without wraning, completely putting him out of his senses as Iriko reached down, grabbing Eludicator. "Cursed sword…" He stated simply, turning around and throwing it out of the bubble, watching it fly far away, down into the massive pit of destruction that had been created by Iriko's energy, "I told you I would kill you…" Iriko's mouth stated slowly, before he fell back against the bubble himself, all the energy leaving from his body, staring weakly at the most likely unconscious boy. "Kill the weak you, anyway… Hopefully the new you won't be so blinded by… himself…" He told himself, looking at his left arm… or rather, where his left arm had been. That's going to have to be looked at… He thought to himself, as finally sleep claimed around him, the slime the only thing keeping him and Tsukiryuu together as he descended into a forced sleep, the madness gone from his body…

For now…
