Please lock. I'm tired of this thread and want it to end.

"You're fast," he said just barely managing to duck under the attack. "But you're predictable," he called from the very edge of the struggling darkness he still sought to close. Akuma had landed but a single attack against his target, after being brandished by that damn whip. It wouldn't happen again. "I wonder if he's figured it out already? And so quickly. I'm impressed." Akuma now stood directly under Keisuke.

 

"Come down Keisuke. Let's. . .talk," he taunted.

[Andx]

Keisuke stood at the top. He let the pillars return to the shroud form. The walls wouldn't close while Akuma was in the center. Keisuke considered how to respond to the situation.

"He can't see me, if I use a cero he won't know what it is. Should I really corrupt this fight? If I don't kill him here the others will find out about our hollowfications." Keisuke thought. He made his decision. He dissipated his whip back into the shroud and put his hand out flat aiming downwards. Akuma wouldn't be able to see such a subtle movement.

"In all honesty Akuma....." he said a large basic cero charging in his hand. The red reiatsu became quite large.

".. I'd rather not." he said as he fired the large cero downward. It was about half the size of the realm itself due to the recent decrease in the realm's size. Akuma wouldn't see it until it was too late to dodge.

[Dad]

"Hmph." Akuma shrugged as the blast washed over him, and he dusted the soot from his skin. "That was interesting," he said slowly. It burned him thoroughly, scorching him down to his original skin, the reptilian skin fading away. "You must have thought that out thoroughly. But you see, the problem with what you've just done, is that you gave away your position. And now, I have every sense of your position."

 

Akuma made himself visible now, his head held low. He pointed an index finger at his target now. "Bakudou 61: Rukujyoukourou." Six crashing pillars of light pinned Keisuke's arms to his sides, and stopped him in his tracks. "You may have damaged me, but I will place you in a prison of infinite hell." The shadowy realm began to fade away, as Akuma's reaitsu skyrocketed.

[Phantom Roxas]

Gerard chuckled as he quickly flash-stepped away from the barrage of arrows. Appearing behind Zensaki and Danni, he uttered "Bakudo 73: Tozansho". A inverted blue pyramid formed around his two opponents. He swung his sword with both hands, generating even more stars than before. The circled around the pyramid, creating countless dust particles that left his two opponents trapped. "Flee if you can, but the silver will claim you. Of course, just for good measure, Hado 88: Hiryugekizokushintenraiho." A stream of enormous, blue energy roared from his hand with the intent of completely annihilating Gerard's foes.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Should she tell him? No, she decided against it.

"Because..." She started, closing her eyes. She would have to choose her words carefully. She didn't want him to badger her with his psyche. To be honest, she couldn't care less.

"We need at least one Captain here. Who's going to protect me if anything were to happen? You should feel honored to be in my presence."

Although they both knew that Rachel Alucard did not need protection, she decided to say it anyway. Maybe he'd get the drift and leave it as is.

[zaneko]

Danni giggled. He couldn't hold her in a pitiful cage like this. "Hold on," she whispered to Zensaki. She had to time it just right. If she could strike the barrier at the same time as Gerard's attack did, she would be able to punch a hole in it and use her speed to escape.

She aimed her bow and charged a massive ball of electrical reiatsu. Gerard's attack neared. "Ready, Nazokiba?" she whispered. She made the last adjustment to her aim and yelled "Diaya Raikou!" The massive ball, now bigger that she was, was fired as a large beam of lightning. It hit the barrier at the same time as Gerard's attack, shattering it. Danni grabbed Zensaki and flash stepped through the gap, buffeted by the reiatsu waves resulting from the impact of the three powerful spells. She cleared the area quickly, Zensaki in tow, but was caught by some of the silver dust.

Panting a bit, she pointed her bow at Gerard, smiling. "What do play next?" she asked sweetly, right before launching a hail of reiatsu arrows at him.

[Hydra of Ages]

Aski glanced around in amusement. "It appears..." he muttered with a slight smirk. "That my hesitations have made me redundant. Oh well." he said with a light chuckle. That wasn't too much of a surprise; even the strongest enemies tended to shy away from involving him in combat if it could be helped.

 

He glanced around, recognizing many of the traitorous Captains almost instantly. His mouth gave into a small sneer as he remembered what they had been like, during the relatively brief period they had been allies. For some reason, even then, the other captains had been apprehensive of him.

[The D.M.]

"Dont play with me shinigami! I am your opponent!!" Shoren cried out as he rushed twords her scythe in hand "Dont bother blocking this blade cuts through EVERYTHING!!!" he shouted flying twords her with inhuman speed now his physicality well made up for his lack of Kido techniques he swung the scythe right for Danni's head in a vertical swing "Die You Pitiable Shinigami" he said as the scythe came down

[◊ Hᵃᵏᵃˢᵉ ◊]

Taizen simply looked at her, but then let out an annoyed sigh, rubbing the back of his head as he laughed loudly. "You?! Protection?!" He said laughing loudly. "That's like saying I'll speak a word to the other Captains. It'd never be needed Madam Rachel. Now, tell me honestly, why am I here above all the other Captains? Surely you do not find me a fool do you? If you do..... that hurts my feelings." He began to feel a strong emotion of sadness radiating in his chest. "Am I just..... just another pawn like these fools who rush out to battle so bloodthirstily, giving their lifes up without knowing that their enemies have been training, that their energy has become near that of a Vasto Lorde" He said to her, the only reason of his knowing being once again, because he had the best senses of the group of Captains. "I'm the only one who has been taking knowledge on them, well, what I can compose of them. The others just sat on their butt, or killed something. You forget, I'm the smarter of the Captains you Command, so don't believe you can lie to me and walk past it. Now, though I feel uncomfortable commanding an answer from you, tell me why!" He asked rather boldly, gulping, as he was afraid what his Captain Commander might do to him now.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Damn. He was pushing it. Rachel didn't want to reveal her plans this early in the... Wait a minute! Did he just COMMAND her to do something!?

Rachel stood up as slowly as possible, her eyes closed. She was barely restraining her reiatsu, as it blew the roses all around in many directions. Some of them were even uprooted. Although she was shorter than Shoren, she was extremely intimidating still.

She picked up the umbrella next to her table. Batticus hid behind her.

"You mind repeating what you just said?"

[zaneko]

Danni almost countered the swing, but decided against it. She flashed step out of the way and appeared behind Shoren. "Oh! I forgot you were around," she mocked. "It's interesting, the worst kido user from both sides facing off!" She adjusted he grip on her bow. "Unfortunately, I think I'm better. Not only do I have the strength to make up for my lacking abilities," she increased her flash step moves and Shoren was suddenly surrounded by over two dozen clones arranged in a ball shaped cage. "But I also have the speed!" they all said. Balls of electric blue energy formed in front of the bows. The fired them, and a sphere of arrows flew towards him. "Raikou-ya!"

[◊ Hᵃᵏᵃˢᵉ ◊]

Taizen simply looked at her, a small sweatdrop coming down his face. "I said, as a fellow Captain I feel obliged to know why you would lie to me. It doesn't seem fair that I just be thrown aside from what is going on. If you didn't tell the other Captains, then this can just blow by, but if you have already told them, I want to know." He said, sighing as he looked at the roses revolving around. "I just planted those....." He said whining. "Oh well, forget it." He said, walking away from Rachel. "I'm going to go check on the battle in the real world. Enjoy your tea Madam Rachel." He finished saying, opening a small rift to the Real World as it slowly closed behind him.

[Tempest Dahlia]

"I don't think so!"

Rachel appeared behind TAIZEN, grabbing his robes and throwing him backwards, sending him far. It didn't look like he'd stop. Rachel was behind him again. She stabbed the sharpened front of the umbrella into his chest, then slammed him into the ground so hard that a huge crater was created in her very own garden. The tea was spilled, the roses destroyed.

She stood over him, her reiatsu blowing debris all around.

"I asked you a question! You DARE speak to me like some sort of dog!?"

[Hydra of Ages]

Aski sighed as he walked up casually to the enraged Shoren. He took his time, moving leisurely, before he placed his hand on the captain's shoulder. He tisked and shook his head. "No, you won't." he said simply and casually. His shield was reduced back to orb shape, following him around, his glowing blade held in his other hand.

 

"Actually, you'll leave now, little Shori" he said with a hint of a chuckle, reprising his old nickname for the captain, before his inevitable betrayal. Shoren was a favorite target of his tauntings way back when, simply for his increasingly amusing reactions.

[The D.M.]

OOC:Pause 820 Made a mistake also i have to go ill delete my post where i attack 820 and he can unpause when he clears this up okay? also tell andx im sorry for OOC only-ing

[◊ Hᵃᵏᵃˢᵉ ◊]

OOC: Might want to change that to Taizen. Lol.

 

IC: Taizen was shifted back, flying into the garden as he lay there, rubbing his head. He stood up and blinked as he looked at Rachel. "You struck me? You haven't struck me in 100 years. I simply asked a question. Was that too much, Madam Rachel?" He asked as he stood up, rubbing off his haori. "Captain Commander, you destroyed all the roses I planted to make your tea better. What's more, I grew those to make you happy. I have to many feelings." He said, sighing as he looked down to a completely slaughtered rose. He sat down cross-legged and looked up to his Captain Commander, a tear forming in his left eye. "I'm sorry I'm not the most obedient. I'm sorry I'm not the strongest..... I never was accepted anywhere." He said bursting into tears. He was pathetic.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Rachel was tempted to attack him again. He knew that she hated questions, more or less ones that were demanded. She stood there, watching him cry... Pathetic. She wondered why she didn't just kill him already. She stared at him on the ground, crying and making her even more mad.

"... Clean this mess up." She ordered coldly. She turned around and walked out of the garden, Batticus trailing behind her. She was too angry to do anything. She decided that she'd aid the Captains to siphon off her rage.

[◊ Hᵃᵏᵃˢᵉ ◊]

He watched her leave as he got up. He shook his head, wiping the tears away. He pulled out his blade. "Guess I might as well do as she says. Spread and Shoot, Hisan Roze Hari." He said as his blade dissintegrated, causing millions of flowers to fill the garden area. He fixed the gateway-like entrance to the garden as he walked out of the garden, sheathing his blade. The garden looked brand new, as if nothing had ever happened to it in the first place. Every flower sparkled elegantly in the twilight coming into the Soul Society. All alone now, Taizen walked over to a nearby chair, sitting down and grabbing a book. The book was titled Women's Issues. It was lucky Rachel had already headed out, as her realization that he had this book might send her into a bigger tantrum than she had before. He set the book down and pinched the spot right between his eyes. "I can never prove my worth to anyone!" He said shooting a large ball of red Kidou into the wall. He hadn't even needed to say the name, nor the incantation. "Damned Rachel only sees me as a Servant, as someone to give her her Tea, or plant her precious roses. I may respect her, but I do these out of free-will." He said, sighing as he put his head in his hands. "I need to release my rage, but if I arrive to battle out of term, Rachel will have my head." He said, but looked up now. He looked more serious as he gripped his sheath tightly. He opened a realm to the Real World. "If I go there, I'm probably not coming back." He said, as he slowly walked in, the realm closing behind him.

[The D.M.]

Shoren deflected the lightning swinging his scythe in all directions back at the clones "you're a curious little shinigami answer me a question" he began as he started to charge the clones cutting them down one by one "Why Do You Fight against the Oligarchy? or more presicley why do you fight at all?" he seemed calm and curious at the same time as the last clone fell in half "Before you die i want to know why you fight"

[Andx]

Narration:

No disturbance in the connections of the two worlds went unnoticed to Rachel. Any opening she didn't personally create or authorize infuriated her. This event made her reconsider what she ready to do. As Taizen opened a portal Rachel knew immediately. And the mission in the real world was taking far too long for her tastes. She simply wanted to know what was killing the hollow. She didn't want everything to end right there. She liked a longer, more drawn out, method of defeating her enemies. Though the amount of time spent by the three captains already in the real world told her that they were trying to eliminate everything at once. Angry with Taizen, the connection to the real world, and the thought of the other captains taking the satisfaction of torturing her enemies from her, Rachel made a decision to call all the captains back for the moment. If what she suspected was true, severe punishments were to be handed out. True she may not have ever communicated that she wanted to slowly crush the enemies, but she expected the other captains would recognize that. She'd have to reeducate them; that would help settle her rage. Though it wouldn't settle until she'd personally tortured those who would oppose her.

 

ooc: Sorry about this everyone but things are getting out of hand for me. I sorta had a basic idea for the plot and all the villains rushing off on their own to finish the heros is seriously compromising that. As such, the villains are going to be called back and I'll try to take a better hold of this RP's plot. Of course, let the fights continue until Rachel makes the official call. Hope you all understand.

[The D.M.]

Shoren realized that he had indeed lost his head for a moment "A thousand apologies master Rachel" Shoren bowed his head he realized that in his ruch to defeat the enemy he was about to reveal the Transfixion Release and that could've proven fatal to the other captain's if their secret weapon had been compromised "Forgive me i was caught up in the battle master" Shoren although a true battle addict was not beyond the reach of reason he knew he was wrong to rush in like that "It seems the enemy is more powerful than we imagined...perhaps picking them off one at a time would be the best method"

[zaneko]

ooc: True. This was moving really fast.

 

Danni was a bit startled that he managed to block her 360 degree attack. She was impressed.

"You want to now why I fight?" she asked Shoren sweetly. She blushed and covered her face, "oh, aren't you the direct one! I like that in a man...NOT!"

She smiled sweetly agian. "But I don't think I want to tell you my reasons. I would be wasting information. Someone with your level of intelligence just wouldn't understand." She blew him a kiss then repositioned her bow, a ball of energy forming.

"Be a dear and die, please."

[The D.M.]

ooc:i was pulled back into Rachel's dimension-thingy Lord Andx sez i cant play wif u no more =(

IC:Shoren went back to his space wanting to sleep hoping that he could find some manner of solace in slumber he bade his comrades goodnight as he went to his chambers "why..why did that damn shinigami trigger the images..." he shook the thought out of his head and fell asleep slowly slipping into his dreams

[Tempest Dahlia]

Rachel sent kido throughout the portals she created. They were red and shaped in bolts of lightning. She was far beyond pissed at the situation. The captains weren't doing as she thought they'd know- Kill the enemy slowly.

In the real world, red clouds began to take forme in the sky. They blacked out the sun. From them, crimson lightning struck all her captains. This was her signaling to come back... And she wasn't happy.

[The D.M.]

"AGHHH!!!" Shoren awoke as the lightning hit him "Dammit" he left his quarters very groggily and approached rachel half afraid to face her anger and still half asleep "I swear no amount of killing is worth putting up with this jabroni as my leader" he mumbled as he entered the main chamber "What is it Lady Rachel?" he asked rubbing the back of his neck and looking at her with sleepy eyes that looked almost calculating "if this is about the mission i am sorry i acted too soon...but really with the lightning" he asked wincing in pain
