In what had seemed to be a job well done by the Lieutenant. He was immediately brought back into the reality that he was facing no average combatant. Despite wanting to see how the power varied between the Commander and his generals. Shizuka knew somewhere in his heart, that their power overshadowed his. His confidence in his strength wouldn’t allow that realization to materialize, but it was only inevitable that he’d be shown he is not an absolute force in this world. That there were many others; specifically those who donned the white coat. Who were all competing for the top spot, and they would not be denied.


As Shizuka uses shunpo to close the gap confidently after he got the drop on the Captain. He notices something on his reappearance in front of Yū. While the Captain was still having a hard time staying on his feet, being repelled by the dominant force from Shizuka’s Thunder Stance. The Fairy never faltered control of his Kido spell. Still witnessing the blade emanating that deadly golden aura.

While the Lieutenant wasn’t concerned about this immediately, it was painfully aware that Yū was heavily concerned. No longer needing to have the spell at full power, nor aimed properly, he launched the spell almost haphazardly in the wake of him being pushed back.

WOOOOOSH

“UGHHH”


As the blast from the the faltering kido slapped diagonally across Shizuka’s body. He let out a gasp of pure agony. His shihakusho bursting out the seams, the spell striking his body with pain deeply. Even being used in a crude and unprepared way, the fact still remained that this was a 70’s level Hado spell, being used by someone who could claim the title of being a Master. At a point blank range, no less. Shizuka’s chest would be gushing blood from the deep wound grazed across his chest, meanwhile the hand that held Hirameku-Hitouchi, would be completely dismembered. Separated from his body completely with an almost surgical precision. While this was a truly agonizing pain for the Raiken. Captain Nakamoto would soon notice that this wasn’t enough to stop Shizuka at all. Being forged within the depths of battle, taking a hit like this meant little to him. While the force of a Hado that significant would be enough to stop most beings in their tracks. Shizuka pushed forward, instinctually grabbing his Zanpakuto with his left hand reaching across his body. Continuing his assault…….

BOOOOOOOOOOM

As the countless thunderclaps rained in on the Captain. The Valley as a whole was shaking at the beat of the Raiken’s drum. Each strike able to be felt throughout the entire realm, decimating the miles wide platform that which the two stood on. Shizuka being the lone man standing, his momentum carried him past his target. Skidding on the slowly caving in sedimetary, as he held his Zanpakuto outwards. Something was off to the shinigami though. As master in the craft of a zanjutsu, Shizuka could feel when his blade hadn’t been satiated. When the feeling wasn’t…. authentic. He glanced back at to where the Captain should’ve made his tragic descent into the depths of the realm, but to his surprise he felt nothing there. The only visual lasting was the tattered pieces of the Captain’s sleeveless haiori dancing with the wind, as the Lieutenant stood there clueless.

“What the….”

The platform he stood on breaking down further and further didn’t bother him one bit. He actively put on his senses, only to find out instantly that he had been led astray. The Fairy himself stood above in the air, stripped of his haiori. His appearance losing it’s prominence, for he was now in a basic shinigami attire. No different from the man he was facing currently, or any shinigami in general. Would it even be appropriate to call him a Captain anymore? Now that he has been reduced to such a tactic? Shizuka notes this change in his mind, still more focused on the battle at hand than the fact that he has just lost a hand and is bleeding profusely from his chest and wrist area. He yelled out loud to his opponent who stood far above him, making sure he heard his every word.

“SO I SEE WE’RE GETTING SERIOUS NOW HUH? WHY’D YOU DROP THE COAT!?”

Even though he wasn’t in a position to truly taunt. Shizuka wouldn’t dare lose his opportunity to rattle the Captain. Now finally getting to see how he acted within the heat of the battle.

“LOOKS LIKES TO ME FROM ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE YOU’RE SCARED!”

As the blood dripped down from the stub he once called his right hand, and the skin peeled and burned off of his chest. Shizuka’s left sclera begins to corrode into a dark hue, similar to a drop of paint falling into water. The darkness almost fully corrodes before being halted halfway into it’s siege of the Raiken’s eye. Shizuka could be seen to be in more pain than usual.

Takeover


Cmooooooon Shizuka let me handle this for ya!

This fight would be light work for me

If I was fighting this guy, I’d still have my hand just saying!

All this pain can go away…….. if….. you….. just….. SWITCH


1658266409408.png

While on the outside Shizuka kept his normal poker face at the precipice of danger. It couldn’t mask, the repercussions of his body weakening while he had to maintain control over the entity that was inside of him. Constantly battling for supremacy, waiting for the second Shizuka lost his composure. The literal minute his spiritual fortitude would be weakened.

It had only been a month since he had been Hollowfied by the God-King. In that short amount of time, he had been training constantly to keep his comrades out of harms way and to control his power. Bearing the fruits of his hard work, not only has he been able to subdue the complete manifestation multiple times. He can now actually harness the power, for all but three seconds.

I’d appreciate it, if you’d actually crawl back into whatever hole you came from.

My guy, you don’t have a hand. This battle is cooked

Watch me

Watch you do what??!

Win this fight


Taken aback, by the gall Shizuka had to say that he was still going to win despite the condition he was in. The Inner Hollow was actually petrified by this notion. He didn’t know that the being he possessed was suicidal above all things. Still, it didn’t deter his motives one bit. To him Shizuka was just stubborn. All because he wanted to refuse his help. While admirable in the eyes of most, the inner hollow of Shizuka was far from pleased, and yet…. Welcomed it.

Tuh, it’s okay….. you’re resisting now. I can’t wait until this little princess gets in his bag.

Let’s see how long you last until then…. Hahahaha


The corruption of his sclera slowly retracts, as he now maintains his complete focus back onto his opponent. Who would literally give him no time to absorb or adjust to the current situation at all, the only thing Shizuka would see are whips and constructs of light spewing from the free hand of the Fairy. He could easily tell from his own expertise, just from the form and shape of the constructs, it was a combined assault of Sajo Sabaku and Hainawa.

“Shit!”


Shizuka swipes his Zanpakuto as if he’s wiping off blood from his blade, relinquishing the Raimei Yoshiki in the process. In that moment his figure bleeds away, diving into a shunpo immediately to dodge the initial wave of Bakudo. The spells, fired with so much power and intensity they dig into and destroy the already crumbling residue that remained of their stage. Sadly for Shizuka, this was only the initial assault, for the Captain had launched of volley of these spells in an all encompassing wave. Every single tendril, every single chain geared towards the restriction of the Lieutenant. Tracking him down relentlessly even after his initial step, but he continued to press on. Electing to use his natural speed in conjunction with his shunpo capabilities. Even after he reappears, he begins to run immediately. His frame zipping through the crumbling debris as it descends into the valley. Jumping from platform to platform as he retroactively dodges the spells trying to entangle him with swift and acrobatic precision. Backflips, spins, strafes, all indistinguishable from an actual manifestation of a thunderbolt zipping through the Valley. From all of this combined, Yu wouldn’t be able to make out Shizuka’s figure as he’d literally be an electrical current, swimming below him. It’d be evident that his speed has elevated significantly from moments ago. His physical form unable to be made out within the madness. As the Raiken was running out of debris due to most of it falling too deep into the depths. He elected to create reishi platforms to simulate the same effect, all the way until he eventually realized that this display was a distraction. While the Sajo Sabaku was strictly a diversion to keep him occupied, he didn’t realize the purpose for the Hainawa tendrils and the excess Sajo Sabaku chains. That upon his constant dashing, the two spells had completely formed a giant cage around the Lieutenant. Locking his advances to move closer to the Captain at all, along with not allowing him to leave the immediate vicinity, without taking some form of stunning or restrictive damage. Shizuka couldn’t even sit in awe of the immense control someone needed to conjure such a feat. Let alone the time in which he had done it. All he knew was that he had to break free from this contraption, and he knew the perfect idea. Using Shunpo once more, he moves away from another string of Bakudo. He dashes to the left, to further strafe away from the tracking chains. Lifting the fist that held his zanpakuto closer to his face. A singularity of black reiatsu with a teal outline began to amass on his face. Quickly wrapping around entirely, until he eventually swipes down on his fist. The reiatsu now solidifying, taking form to reveal…..

“AHHHHHHHHHH”

“AHHHHHHHHHH”


His image instantly fading from his location, the excess Sajo Sabaku coming his way would strike his former location. But on their miss, they would simply corrode with black lightning, and snap into multiple pieces as if they had been cut 100 times over. Before completely dissipating into the nothingness. An arrow of darkness would shoot towards the Captain’s location in the air. Jolting towards the Fairy at speeds that exceeded what he was accustomed to by now. It would almost be imperceivable from his view. Within the millisecond he would be granted to process this. Shizuka would be at the ends of the cage only several meters away from actually touching makeshift cage, his left hand and zanpakuto trailing behind his body. Shizuka witnessing the silhouette of Yū accompanied with his illustrious wings, stemmed from exertion of his own reiatsu. The Lion masked Vizard, with all of the momentum and power built up from his travel. Prepared for a strike of unrealistic qualities. The power he felt welling up from the donning of his mask, being a completely unparalleled feeling of euphoria for the Lieutenant. Combined with his insatiable desire to battle, he was ready to unleash everything he had. Underneath his shihakusho’s sleeve, his muscles protruded and expanded outwards unnaturally, the grip on his blade had almost become fused with the handle on his Zanpakuto. The pain that lingered within his chest and right hand, just simply disappeared. While still just being several meters away from the Bakudo enhanced cage, Shizuka brings his blade upwards. Swiping his Zanpkauto upwards in a devastating fashion, as if he was trying rip apart of the fabric of space that resided between the two. Fueled by his reiatsu and Ken’atsu (剣の圧力 ; Sword Pressure). A black wave of lightning reiatsu completely annihilates the cage, and simultaneously slices through the Captain behind this cage. Shizuka striking with the idea that there was something protecting the Fairy, beyond what was shown. Yū losing all forms of doubt from the Vizard simply with his debut. Planning to breach any barrier that would even POTENTIALLY attempt at protecting the Captain. That potential force would eventually go on to suffer the same fate as the previous cage before it. Completely eviscerating it one strike. This slash overall would separate Yū’s entire right side, from the rest of his body. From his right shoulder all the way down to his right thigh, there would be an incinerating touch of lightning reiatsu surging and clinging into the innards of his body. Cauterizing the wound shut immediately, as if it had been burned long before. The Captain would find himself delirious, unable to register the pain. Even as he makes his ungraceful descent into the depths of the Valley.

“SO I SEE WE’RE GETTING SERIOUS NOW HUH? WHY’D YOU DROP THE COAT!?”

From above, the Fairy looks down at the boisterous Shinigami who has now realized the method of the Captain’s maneuver.

‘Hnn…’

… Yū muses to himself, as the Raiken finds his bearings to continue his taunt.

“LOOKS LIKE TO ME FROM ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE YOU’RE SCARED!”

Another scoff similar to the one that was offered as a response to the first words Shizuka had for him at the start of their encounter escapes him— albeit this time, an additional reaction is prompted. While most would probably fall victim to his taunt with a ferocious charge or instead as a counter harshly retort with their own verbal jab, all the boy can do is snort.

9762e4a3fc112d03968aca7345fc90cc.png



… he reflects with a smirk. Even in his questionable condition, blood pouring endlessly from his chest and without a hand, the man still delivers his words as if he is the one standing with an overwhelming advantage. Inspiring that despite the odds, he still holds strong to his faith in succeeding today; Having faced opponents under similar circumstances who have surrendered in healthier states than the one Shizuka finds himself in, his attempt to take the time to directly provoke Yū in this moment piques the Fairy’s amusement. What an interesting man this one was.

As Shizuka is plagued with the interruption of his darker side’s influence, this disturbance does not go unnoticed by Yū— his reiatsu disclosing its caustic impurity with his Inner Hollow's timely intrusion in an attempt to seize control. Regardless of this note, the Captain’s preparations have long been finalized, his assault now bursting forth in a chorus of snares that rapidly make their approach to their occupied target. As noted, his quick evasion has already been predicted, the thinner strands otherwise named as Hainawa snaking outwards to form a cage in order to intercept the light-footed Vizard. His agility is put to the test, masterfully moving throughout the valley to avoid being snatched by the Fairy’s traps. Little does he know the next component of Yū’s plan, near instantly shrouded in mystery upon its creation with his arrival in the sky, is exactly where the man is being strategically led to.

From this distance and with his concentration centered on Shizuka’s movements more so than the weapon he wields, the Captain does not register the disarmament of Raimei Yoshiki and so proceeds with his sole priority in ensuring the distance between the two is maintained. The Lieutenant’s footwork performance nears its end as Yū’s spell steadily extends to his location; It seems as if he’s reached his limit— with every conceivable angle occupied, with nowhere else left to run, Shizuka is seemingly left with no other choice but to submit.

‘I got you…’

“AHHHHHHHHHH”

“AHHHHHHHHHH”


‘... now.’

The same pungent Reiatsu as before explodes outwards as the Lieutenant’s frame vanishes, the residual binding spells that closely tracked him now instantly disintegrating in the wake of his newly displayed black lightning. Simultaneous with Shizuka’s efforts, with a simple wave downwards, the curtain cloaking Yū Nakamoto’s true intentions are laid bare and the boy himself suddenly… is gone; The darkened arrow that is fired is hardly registered by the long-gone Captain with its' existence left to fly free into the sky. However, this was not a matter of purely attempting to outpace the arrow; Yū is left unaware of the sudden black lightning that is launched towards him, only acknowledging this strange power upon the destruction of his Sajō Sabaku as he instinctively moves to widen the distance from what he assumes to be a rapidly approaching, angered Lieutenant upon the donning of his mask and his destructive blade in tow. The winged silhouette that Shizuka's darkened eyes lay upon and target for his coming slash in truth is simply an afterimage, a left behind product of the Captain's residence now far removed to guarantee himself safety from what he assumes is coming his way: Another barrage from the formidable Thunder Stance.

In response to both the Vizard’s infernal release of his forbidden power as well as the quick unveiling of the Fairy’s trap and high speed departure, the valley air contorts wildly, light refracting to unmask the true essence of Yū’s plot and upon its display, these strategic effects would instantly be set into action. At once, eight black orbs manifest and surround the unsuspecting Vizard, who narrowly dodges the golden lures and destroys them in a flash with his newfound power. As Shizuka reappears just to the side of the now amorphic cage and his arm begins to raise in order to lift his blade upwards to complete his potent strike, suddenly his body is petrified, bringing his inadequate slice to a great and abrupt halt. As one would expect, if Shizuka had looked down at this very instant to find reason in his assault's sudden cessation, he would notice an unusually placed pitch-black orb hovering right before his abdomen…

“Kuyō Shibari.”

… and then with another glance to either side, a group of eight identical crackling spheres of darkened reiryoku evenly encircled around him. Even if he could garner the strength to reactivate Raimei Yoshiki and release another shockwave, its potency would finally meet its match against the boy’s nine sunlight traps, holding firm in the face of his might and any sort of movement he had attempted to achieve with his frame. While the more potent binding chains belonging to Sajō Sabaku had been efficiently incinerated by Shizuka's obsidian lightning, the crackling Hainawa that hovered around the edge of this fractured cage still held shape and simultaneous with the reveal of the Kuyō Shibari would just as quickly wrap around their target, further bolstering the futility of attempting an escape from the Fairy's clutches.

What Shizuka had anticipated to be a barrier surrounding the Captain once more is in fact the opposite⁠— a divinely assembled trap nearly identical in nature to the same one he had crafted during his own bout against Lieutenant Ueki. A critically game-changing spell known as Kyokkō— Yū’s only tell-tale sign of this technique's usage would be the distortions that swam in the surrounding area where the preparations of his concealed binding maneuver lied; But with a similar effect apparent when manifesting his barrier, it would be logical to assume the same gimmick would be in use once more.

Unfortunately, that was not the case this time.

The Fairy’s position further meters back and nearing the Lieutenant's side is now revealed; Still in motion as he orbits Shizuka, he now slows from his blurred state into one that allows himself to be perceptible by the cemented Shinigami. Upon closer inspection, an ominous red glow replaces the gold around his palm that was responsible for the manifestation of the combined Hainawa and Sajō Sabaku assault. As before, only a single finger extends outwards towards the Vizard, a crimson sphere materializing just before the tip of his nail.

"Now I'd be scared... at least if I were you."

... Yū quips back in response to his prior taunt. Directly from this singular orb, multiple are instantly birthed, and like homing missiles are fired in succession from varying angles as Yū’s speedily revolving flight path remains undisturbed. Meters above and away from the bound Shizuka who is implicated in a crude position with his half-complete upward slash suspended, all the Vizard can truly do now in this very moment… is watch. His chances of escaping grow slim, the invoked red fire cannons moving at paces far greater than all of his previously fired spells. With each impact, a pillar of fiery crimson erupts, scorching the Shinigami with heat and flame passionate enough to easily incinerate his skin and muscle alike; And in continuation from every conceivable angle, it is assuredly enough to reduce the Vizard, as well as a great area surrounding him, to complete ashes. While his black lightning was flashy enough of a spectacle to garner praise and disable a potent Kidō from the Kidō Prince himself, now unable to move hardly a muscle, attempting to utilize anything other than his absolute, greatest strength to liberate himself from this quickly escalating predicament would simply result in eternal anguish and irreversible devastation.

It was only a matter of time before the Lieutenant was going to be forced to awaken his new hidden powers. The caliber of opponent he was facing, was more than worthy enough to take on the full strength of Shizuka. In lieu of his Bankai which was still broken, the only upper tier of strength he held was the power bestowed to him by the God-King of Hueco Mundo, for reasons still unknown. Regardless of this fact, the Vizard had no worries when it came to releasing this power against the Fairy himself. With every passing moment the Captain himself restored the Lieutenant’s faith within the Gotei 13, even though it had never truly faltered. It was apparent that even while the Captain Commander sat at the top, his generals were more than capable to fill and even exceed their roles.​

Proving You Belong


Simultaneous with the complete dismantling and eradication of the Captain’s Sajo Sabaku. The Fairy’s real plot commenced, and suddenly his visage disappeared from his “original” location. In this same action, this reveal was letting the “arrow of darkness” fly straight through the space Yu's visage was previously. As the Captain observed it from his new location, it seemingly disappeared from sight as soon as it missed. With its' existence left to fly free into the sky, hardly on the mind of the Fairy at all. Shizuka regardless of this, would proceed with his actions. In an instant he would be near the edges of the Hainawa-reinforced cage. Preparing to destroy the contraption with all of his might, while consequently freeing himself. This of course was all apart of Yū’s plan, for as soon as Shizuka raises his hand upwards to slice the cage, 8 black suns would appear around his area. This seemingly didn't affect the Vizard though, for he proceeded with his action even regardless of this. The Ken’atsu from his blade still releasing to strike the cage, but it was almost as if it fizzled out from the perception of Yū. To the Captain this would clearly be from the restriction factor of his bakudo spell, Kuyo Shibari taking place.


“Kuyō Shibari”

Suddenly a full NINE suns would instantly reappear around the Lion-Masked Vizard, seemingly halting him from moving any further. Almost working in conjunction, a separate section of the Hainawa formed cage he just struck, began to collapse to an extent. Now partially changing it’s objective to completely wrap around Shizuka in tandem with the Kuyo Shibari. Culminating into an elusive nigh-inescapable trap, all crafted into perfection by Prince of Kido himself.

It was unmistakably clear that the Vice-Captain had been played for a fool. The Fairy, using the element of surprise with his cloaked reiryoku spurned, by his illusion-esque Bakudo, revealed that everything was a setup. A façade, if you must. All in place to trap the hollowfied Lieutenant right where he wanted. The Vice Captain spoke no words as all of this unfolded. Was it a loss breath at the amazement that was unfolding? Had he truly been bamboozled to this extent? Truly Yū Nakamoto had now thought so, revealing himself once again at the ensnared Lieutenant. Now feeling utterly confident once again, the Fairy circles around the Lieutenant almost orbiting him. His distance still wary as he paces himself meters away from Shizuka’s Zanpakuto. He slows down his shadowy frame enough to where the Lieutenant can perceive his own speed. The golden hue that escaped his hand would transfer into a red one, constantly emitting a flame like texture as it was being charged into the tip of his finger. Yū was careful, cautious, and completely confident in that his victory was secured. Even noting back to Shizuka’s earlier taunts, as he prepared to end this test immediately.


"Now I'd be scared... at least if I were you."


Suddenly an unholy, hell-ish feeling creeped up behind the Captain. He’d freeze up in utter shock at the heavy feeling of reiatsu that struck every chord in his body. The only thing amplifying this further is when the Lieutenant’s trapped and entangled body fizzles away from his eyesight.

“I’d be scared if I were you too… Taichou”

“I’d be scared if I were you too… Taichou”



As the symphony of two voices sting Yu’s heart strings from behind, he’d recall back everything in his mind in an instant. For something like this was actually impossible, at least for the level of adversary he was facing. This in fact was very possible, for the “arrow of darkness” that the Captain shrugged off, was no arrow whatsoever. Not even in the projectile category for that matter. For Shizuka doesn’t possess an ability like this. This phenomenon was simply just Shizuka’s elevated speed, with the coating of his new corrupted reiatsu. Similar to the trails of lightning enacted in his initial move, the only thing that changed was the hue of the reiatsu. Being barely perceivable because by this point, the Captain-hopeful’s speed had been elevated beyond measure. Just as everything increases tremendously with the donning of the hollow mask. Shizuka who was already a speed demon in his own rights, had completely eclipsed all of his capabilities upon the masks’ inception. Speeds that the Fairy had gotten used to and analyzed, had all been thrown out the window. It was evident that the Captain had another gear of speed in his back pocket, but through reluctancy he refused to tap into it. Opting to slow down to allow the Lieutenant time to process his speed, for Yū felt he was incapable of doing so in his basic Shikai release. This would inevitably be his end as the Captain let the “arrow” fly freely outside, untouched. This is when the “arrow” disappeared, and Shizuka’s next course of action came into play. In all but an instant. It was apparent though that the Captain was more focused on the destruction of his own spell Sajo Sabaku. The precursor, to the "arrow" being fired. Why did Shizuka’s image vanish upon it’s dispersal. The answer quite simply being the donning of the mask Shizuka wore once again. His speed was already ridiculous, near incomprehensible before the donning. This hollow mask only served to elevate this, to levels unheard of. The spell corroded with black lightning, because of the Lieutenant’s lightning-reiatsu imbued slashes that cut through the spell. Giving off the image that it was cut before it was dispersed. While he was astute in determining this was more important, it still didn’t save him from the illusion of speed he was witnessing. That the Shizuka he witnesses gearing towards the destruction of the cage from the inside was merely an afterimage. An event that had already happened nearly a second ago, all from the Shizuka whose frame disappeared before destroying the Sajo Sabaku. To Yu though, it had form, it had substance, and stability. Enough for him to claim it was the real Shizuka, just as he thought the latter had did earlier with his own afterimage. Little did he know the arrow that was the real Shizuka had made it’s rounds across the entire cage, and had just finished upon him finally revealing himself. To where he used that opportunity to exemplify his speed once more, ending his trail by leading into a Shunpo directly behind the Captain. Showing that this combination of the hollow’s power with the Lieutenant’s, had truly affected his every single one of his arts. Every aspect of Shizuka was different, all the way down to his core of Zankensoki.


Yu seeing Shizuka’s image fizzle from the Kuyo Shibari/Hainawa trap. He’d come to witness the entire cage fall to the same fate as the Sajo Sabaku from earlier. Corroded in darkness, chopped into multiple pieces before completely dispersing, all in a matter of 2 seconds.

Synonymous with the feeling of despair creeping upon Yu, he’d feel a titanic grip upon his right shoulder. Almost locking his entire body with the amount of strength placed into that singular point. The hairs on his skin would begin to stand up once more. He’d remember this feeling all too well, it was the very thing he was wary of. The very thing he had sought to escape from permanently. In the small millisecond interval Yu had to assess, he would be either staring at the deadly lion masked vizard peering directly into his soul, or he’d peep over his shoulder to see Shizuka's remaining hand placed on it, while still holding the buzzing pearly white blade of Hirameku-Hitouchi. That is in the process of being corroded even further with a teal overcoat. Whichever he witnessed first, it would only be for a fragment of second. An inconceivably small amount of time before he eventually heard….


“Raimei Yoshiki…….

CERO!”
“Raimei Yoshiki…….


CERO!”



At this point, the creative juices were flowing from the Vizard. With the time fleeting to maintain his hollow powers rapidly disappearing, and the rare opportunity coming to strike down Yū Nakamoto. Not knowing the full capabilities of his hollowfied state, he sought to combine his weak and unrefined Cero. With the seasoned technique of his Zanpakuto abilities. With his one hand gone, opting to instead coat the blade with the Cero entirely. With the destructive capabilities of his Thunder Stance in conjunction with Cero. As soon as Shizuka struck his Zanpakuto upon the right shoulder of Yū, a teal orb of destruction would encompass the two combatants.


1658714956945.gif



Sucking in almost instantaneously before, exploding with ferocious might.


BOOOOOOOOOOM


As the single sound of a thunderclap decimated the entire atmosphere around them, gust of wind would protrude from the point of impact in a relentless volley. Blue streams of energy would explode, and coat the entire scenery with a cyan colored view. The entire valley would be subjected to this tint, as the detonation went off. Should Yu take the entirety of this attack in it’s full power, he’d be sent flying like a missile through the sky. Landing and crashing straight through the debris of a platform miles away from the impact. His body singed, and decimated beyond belief. Shihakusho torn and burnt to shreds, he’d have a hard to moving or breathing from his position. As his bones would be crushed beyond belief, while his skin would scorched beyond normal repair. The Vice-Captain was still wary of the Captain’s usage of Utsutsemi once more, and would of course cover all avenues as best as he could. The two fingers gripping upon his shoulder, while he was still holding his blade to lock him place was the showing of that effort, if the Captain had opted to use his medical bag in replacement for his physical form, he would succeed in mitigating the damage. But to what extent? He would realize as he reappears to his new location, that his right is going to be rendered completely nulled and useless. Unable to feel the pain, but able to see his arm singed to almost cinders from the view of his ripped shihakusho sleeve. Pieces of Shizuka’s mask would crumble slowly off of his face, and his sclera begin to return to their normal milk-white color. Breathing profusely as he begins to feel the euphoria from his masked transformation dissipate, as he now begins to feel the crash of returning to his normal capabilities.


“I just made that one up, how’d you like it?”

Yū's perception of his surroundings now begins to slow, his reduced pace mid-flight gradually decreasing into a steady halt. A wave of tension overtakes him; Despite what his eyes hone in on, his focus secured onto what he discerns... no... what he knows to be Shizuka, the grim feeling that washes over him is undeniable: something has gone terribly wrong.

“I’d be scared if I were you too… Taichou.”
“I’d be scared if I were you too… Taichou.”

d414ed565d16b2bd53eb4da4486b3826.png


The Fairy had greatly underestimated the gap in Shizuka’s power between his original skillset and his masked form; Shunpo that was already notably swift is exponentially more so when tapped into this cursed power, leaving behind a trail of darkness that only revealed his true movement entire seconds after with a combination of potent afterimages. While there is no doubt in his mind prior to this moment that his kidō is held fast onto the image of the Lieutenant, still in a blink, his captive is gone. Before he is even allowed to process this, eyes still widened in great bewilderment, his perceptibly slow flight is brought a complete stop: From behind, his right shoulder is suddenly snatched ahold of, the eerie feeling emanating from the Thunder Stance extremely prominent. Just as before, a fierce wave of heat now encompasses his back; A palpable flush is depicted with his skin instantly becoming pink and the hairs all over his body rising in unison at the call of the lightning blade.

Yū is given virtually no time to comprehend the miraculous achievement of outsmarting and seemingly outpacing the Captain- Instead, captivated by the Vizard’s deeply contrasting voices that communicate the following words.

“Raimei Yoshiki…"
“Raimei Yoshiki…"


‘Shit!’

“... Cero!"
“... Cero!"

BOOOOOOOOOOM


The evasive maneuver the Vizard predicts comes to be true, albeit not in exact execution. His medical bag, having been long discarded as it was worn over his abandoned haori, cannot serve to save him now, forcing Yū to operate with the scraps he is left with… which are none. So, he must make his own. The fingers that grip the Captain’s shoulder instead find their grasp replaced with merely a ribbon of the garb that blankets his skin; In the wake of the blast, his entire right sleeve of his shihakusho is ripped. Whether this be from the force of the blast itself or the considerable speed Yū wields to evade total annihilation before the Lieutenant’s grip is unknown. Both seem equally plausible, perhaps even a combination of the two yet neither are able to fully witness as all visual perception suddenly is robbed from the pair, both forced to wait for the calm from the equally blinding and deafening outburst.​


It is only now, after the Fairy has already withstood the brunt of his assault at the cost of an arm and the haunting loss of feeling in the majority of his right side, that he processes the immense speed and distinct increase in destructive capabilities Shizuka’s mask had afforded him. With deep huffs, the two stand in silence; Meters in front of him, the Captain stares down in united awe and outright terror, as the Lieutenant comes to his senses with the cracking and dissipating of the porcelain material that once clung to his face. In between his own labored breaths, Shizuka still draws the strength to continue their banter despite the destruction he has wrought upon both the Captain and the valley as a whole and the great fatigue that befalls him.

“I just made that one up, how’d you like it?”

huff... "It was fine...”

Yū’s eyes slowly shift to take sight of his missing appendage, smoke still faintly spewing from the freshly severed joint. Blackened skin coats the edges of the wound, the nearest flesh having been charred to an unrecognizable state that mimics the frayed edges of his tattered Shihakusho sleeve. This would take far more effort than usual, especially in regards to recovering from the unusual insensitivity nearly half of his body was currently experiencing. While the anxiety surrounding his own inflictions begin to intensify, the Captain is relieved enough to recognize that he has indeed witnessed what he has been asking for along: to not be disappointed. Through his own strained breathing, Yū continues his acknowledgement towards Shizuka’s unforeseen bargain with the appropriate conclusion of their encounter.

“... but... huff... ... I think I’ve seen enough.”
