Her reiatsu bursted as Kinzoku seeped into her sleeve, liquefied in form. Before her stood an arrancar. The fearsome battle would commence..

From Yukari's sleeve shot out a single black longsword, coated in a blue misty substance; Its momentum would carry it out towards the arrancar with intense speed.

OOC: Just to clarify rules

1. Normal fighting limitations still apply (no autohits, godmodding etc.)

2. Both characters are immortal and regenerate after each hit

3. The limitations of Yukari's Zanpakuto are not set in stone and can be bent throughout the course of this fight. This also applies to my Ress, but not as much as I could be going very overboard with this and I hope I won't.

4. ONLY physical combat and releases allowed. No Reiatsu based abilities.

BIC: The young looking girl stood in front of Fera and immediately commenced into combat. Within the blink of an eye she had drawn her blade. It was suspicious since he wasn't able to tell where exactly she had drawn her blade from. Her clothing was certainly didn't enable her to put an entire longsword into her sleeve, which was why Fera had to admit that he was somewhat surprised when a fluid movement of the blade came striking towards him from his right. Using his right arm, he took the hit, defending with his gauntlet causing the power of her strike to disperse into the surroundings. A gust of wind blew out from their direction and her body was wide open. His leg instantly jabbed forwards, stretching out towards her chest. It homed in at an immense speed and was sure to press her back quite a bit, perhaps cracking the collar bone.

His response was somewhat expected, or at least the first half of it. The gauntlets he wore certainly weren't just for show, so the possibility of their utilisation to block Yukari's longsword was taken into account. What she failed to predict was his sudden stretch of the leg. His height was certainly impressive, no doubt partially attributed by his leg-length; nevertheless, the distance between the two, although not long, was within his range, but not Yukari's. She had to use her own height to an advantage.

The "Blue Moon" took a step back, shifting the entirety of her weight on her left leg in the back. Her right leg picked up as the rest of her body bent backwards to the point of parallelism to the flat ground beneath. An abundance of metal existed within her long-coat so as to increase the speed of her movement. Her own general movements seemed to be far from her opponents, so strategy had to compensate.

Within the same time-frame as the steps taken to dodge his leg, liquid metal seeped back out both of her sleeves as it reached out to grab ahold of said leg with speed numerous times faster than her own torso's descent. Should this suceed, Yukari would continue expanding the metal which grasped the arrancar's leg, rapidly enveloping the whole limb.

Unexpectedly, the girl had hellish flexibility enabling her to what likely was the dodge of the century. Evading his leg at that speed had seemed impossible to Carpophorus, but it seemed that this girl was nothing to sneeze at. Bending her back to the point that his leg swished directly over her face and utilizing some sort of liquified substance to conceal his leg at the same time was surely impressive. "You're a tactician I see!" Fera exclaimed in admiration.

What Fera didn't apply in tactics in this moment, he decided to apply in brute strength however. While his whole limb was seemingly getting coated with this substance that surely felt like some sort of iron, he lifted his leg slightly to his own chest height in quite a slow motion not to alarm his foe, causing the connection between the liquid and its user, that had likely creeped up to right above knee height, to stretch. Then, he slammed the entire weight of his leg down in a flash. The hit was sure to dig right into the earth they were standing on.

Her suspicions were correct. Though they say "don't judge a book by it's cover", she did what a proper tactician shouldn't: precisely that. Yukari assumed the arrancar to be a brute, with his huge size and muscular build only supporting such a conclusion. The results were bare, however. His leg lifted, along with the metal which now began to coat his leg. His strength was indeed remarkable, but tamable in the Captain's eyes.

His leg began to drop swiftly, something that would prove to be a dire mistake. As his leg dropped with intense momentum, the metal at his knee would shift, forcing the leg to bend. If all would go well, his leg would simply sweep under his body and avoid hitting the ground at all. Rather, his entire body would be sweeped along with his leg. Unless he had insane body control and balance, his other leg would follow suite as a predictable fall would occur soon after.

During the drop of his leg, uncertain whether she would successfully escape, Yukari planted her two palms firmly against the floor, subsequently performing a backwards flip, so as to increase her distance between them.

As the force of his leg came down, he noticed that the iron was starting to morph, attempting to force his knee to bend. Indeed it was hard to fight against it and it did slow him down, but it was nothing that he couldn't handle. Before the force of his leg would dislocate the flow of his kick, he lowered the left side of his body and slammed his foot straight into the ground causing it to fully stop. Instead of attempting a counterattack however, he let the girl put distance between them. First things first, he had to get rid of the hardened metal around his knee, so before the girl was back in position to do whatever she had just done to the iron again, he pulled his left leg up and rammed his elbow against it, causing the iron to shatter. Then he silently but extremely swiftly placed his foot back on the ground and performed a sonido that attempted to throw his opponented off, who was likely still regaining stance. He would rush towards his opponented and attempt to ram into her, performing a whole body punch that would likely carry her several dozen meters.

Yukari was still in mid-flip, but she could feel the shatter of the iron. The metal she manipulated would be directly connected to her, and she would require full and conscious control of it, thus, when her connection was severed, the metal would lose its malleability.

As she would soon come to an upright position, her feet now planted on the floor as opposed to her palms, the Arrancar was practically right next to her. Her eyes caught his visage disappear just before a Sonido was performed, as she was making her way back up. Combined with the sound of a Sonido, Yukari had mere milliseconds to speed up the gears within her mind.

Shit.

A strategy was barely formulated, whether in time or not. The metal within her coat would shoot up her neck, eventually getting to the top of her head. Some of the metal lingered on the way up, hardening and offering support for her neck. At the top of her head, a spike of sorts was formed, aimed directly towards the original location of the Arrancar.

She was acquainted with the heirro of these creatures, so there was no doubt that this plan would possibly fail. All she could hope for was to be in time. The support of the metal formed around her neck and rest of her head offered plenty of protection; an arrancar skilled in heirro, however, would require more than support. Her immense reiatsu focused below her feet and at the top her head. The reiatsu below released, adding speed to a Shunpo Yukari would commence in the split second of the arrancar's vanishing. The reiatsu gathered at her head would offer extra fire power and adequate protection for the rest of the body. At the least, she could guarantee herself minimal damage. The chances of her total success did not remain hopeless either.

Because of the girl's size, Fera didn't exactly see whatever she was doing in the midst of his movement. All he could feel as his body rammed hers was some spikes pressing into his flesh. Not that it mattered. Wrapping his arms around the girl and lifting her to his chest, he made sure she wasn't able to escape anymore. He was interested to see if she could withstand this. The spikes that had dug into his flesh squeezed along his Hierro leaving some marks and shearing skin off as he moved her upwards. It almost hurt a bit.

Having prepared his arms, he came to a stand still. "Girl, this is probably going to hurt." A calm exclamation as he began to squeeze her to his chest, locking her shoulders. Turning it into an all out bear hug, he wanted to see how much this fragile looking creature was able to withstand in light of the full-on crash just now. It surely hadn't sounded as he expected it to. Which was bones crushing and her ribs digging into her lungs. But as he flexed his broad arms, shoulders and chest to push the very life out of this girl's kidneys, he started talking. "You should really show me your sword's next plane of power. I know you spirit warriors have it."

The spike did little to the arrancar. With his gargantuan size, subsequent to grasping Yukari's entire body, he lifted her up and attempted to squeeze her to death.

"Heh.."

Yukari wasn't one to be smug, but she couldn't help it. The circumstances, though immensely unexpected, turned out to be favorable. A smirk painted her lips, as a subtle sentence left her mouth

"Ever heard of the Iron Maiden, Over-glorified hollow?"

Metal began to coat her entire body. The aqueous solution coated her skin before moving to envelop her clothes as well. In what seemed to take several minutes, though actually happening within seconds, Yukari's entire body was consumed by metal. The metal began to expand, adding density instead of simply thickness. The metal began to grow constantly, each inch of it growing in solidity and hardness. Certainly the sheer weight and size of the growth would exceed the arrancar's capacity eventually. Eventually, the growth of the expanding, and ever-so-hard metal ceased, rivaling the arrancar's very own size, and certainly surpassing his weight. In an instant, almost as fast as a Shunpo, spikes from all directions flew out of the walls of the metal. If one were to look at it from afar, they might say it resembled a coffin.

Technique:

He was surprised that this girl's ability were taking this extent. As she was what he would call 'metalizing', which he subsequently also did by exclaiming "Metalizing! How interesting!", he loosened his grip realizing that continuous pressure wouldn't break this. Soon the girl slipped from his arms because somehow she was even growing in size. "I have never seen you warriors do such a thing..." Letting things take their course, she loudly asked if he had heard about the 'Iron-Maiden'. Of course he hadn't. It was a term entirely new to him. That was certainly something that sparked an interested, and he immediately asked "I haven't! What is it?" as spikes started to extend from her 'metalized' being, covering the lengths of his body.

Fera turned his body so the left side was facing her and the right side was facing behind him and decided to let his Hierro take it. Flexing his muscles, lowering his chin and bringing his left leg up, using his arm gauntlets to prevent his arms and left shins and thighs from being pierced, he was able to protect a large part of his body. Covering both himself, only small parts of his turned stomach and back were mauled, although his Hierro didn't fail him. The spikes were able to pierce into his muscle, causing some pain, but no further than that. Letting out a loud and happy snarl, he asked "Iron Maiden! How interesting! Do you know how crushing metal works?"

He then turned his right side towards the construct and used his iron-crushing claws that tore through the spikes and cracked one of the walls. Repeating what he was doing, he continuously pounded down onto the coffin breaking away spikes and creating cracks (OOC: You're probably reforming those cracks) all over the coffin. Able to hear whatever she would have said within the walls, he would surely try and tether through those walls with one hit, using a Sonido to bring distance between him and his opponent, cocking his arms back, then using a Sonido to crash into the whole thing simultaneously creating a devastating strike with his hands that was sure to push away the coffin as a whole. (OOC: I'm just assuming that a Sonido charged double clawed strike would break the whole thing xD But I'm leaving that to you, perhaps you already have a plan to do something differently.)

Sonidos used:

The arrancar seemed to find interest in Yukari's abilities, but interest or not, arrancars were enemies, and practically as indiscriminate and deadly from their pure existence as her very own Reiatsu was. It was in this moment a worrisome noise resounded inside the coffin. Yukari could feel the shaking of the construct quite well, and she hadn't expected the pure shaking to do anything; cracks, however, were things that would apply worry.

Yukari tried to ignore his useless chatter, but what she could not ignore what the slow but tedious cracks increasing. The coffin would instantly repair the cracks, but intuition advised an exit strategy. Surely an end would have to come from this battle eventually, so her stay within the coffin was certainly not permanent; in fact, she would now prepare he leave.

The back of the coffin opened, the weight and thickness of the walls retaining their strength as the opposed the clawing of the arrancar. While the coffin, which in her leave remained as it had before as her stay within it would hardly affect its density, Yukari quietly rose towards the sky, the coffin now providing a distraction. Though seeming unnecessary, perhaps it was best that the battle be concluded swiftly. With this in mind, a fluid sentence spewed from her lips silently.

"Bankai."

As his arms cocked back, crashing into the coffin with the speed of Sonido, the whole coffin flew far back, a noticeable indent present. Said indent nearly put a hole through the coffin, but its overall integrity stayed true. Meanwhile, a burst of Reiatsu occurred from Yukari's body. Shortly after, it retracted before once again bursting, its vibrancy so intense the land shook. A blue sky enveloped the land, the ground and air tinted in the hue of her spiritual energy. Her overall appearance shifted, metal replacing what was once her clothes, and her eyes transitioning purple.

"Enough."

Her immense reiatsu carried these words crisply, echoing throughout the plane. A gargantuan sword appeared on her right, and beneath stood a pillar of solid metal, chains and assorted shapes wreaking havoc around its surface. The thing stood several metres high, toppling over the height of a 5 story building. Its width rivaled an entire building, possessing nothing but solid metal within it. A fearsome visage would taint the sky.

As the ravaged coffin flew back, he had already noticed the girl standing above starting to let her Reiatsu fluctuate. "A savage Reiatsu, girl! I like it!" Instantly, he jumped the height to her, standing in front of her as she uttered words, Fera didn't quite substantially grasp. "What should be enough? This battle? But it has just begun!" Gnarling, laughing and creating a distance between the two, he slammed his two fists together and decided to present himself now as well. "Let me commence to present you the true power of us Arrancar!" As he let his Reiatsu pulsate one, grand time, pressing against his opponent's own pressure, he released his powers.

"Bullir, Almidón!" Exclaiming loudly, he immediately emanated a bright, golden-white shine that spread across the lands. All of his wounds would be healed. Stepping out of the light that casted extreme shadows upon the surroundings, darkening everything else, he was covered in a white armor, his hair much longer than before extending backwards. Even his face was completely covered by the plates of white that concealed him. "Now then, let us commence, spirit warrior girl!" This opponent was surely not as fast as he was with the gargantuan sword on her shoulders. Using a Sonido to try and touch the sword, he used his ability "Punto", attempting to make force apply that would immediately pull it towards the ground.

Techniques Used:

The arrancar rose to her own elevation, as the beast too released his potential. His own Reiatsu's intensity increased, and his appearance changed as well. The arrancar suddenly bursted towards Yukari in what would sound to be the usage of a Sonido. His arrival was far swifter than anything Yukari was capable of, but it did not surpass anything Yukari was capable of handling.

Her speed was slower than a majority of the captains in the Gotei, so she had strategies pre-devised to compensate for her lack of speed. What she couldn't do in speed physically, she did so with speed in terms of Reiryoku to Metal conversion.

Whatever the creature did next was something unfamiliar to Yukari, but nothing she couldn't deal with. His finger barely tapped her sword, but in an instant the sword flung from her hand,  descending. Barely nanoseconds subsequent to her loss of the blade came its dispersion. The metal giant of a blade converted into spiritual energy, reabsorbed by its master. What came next was something Yukari could affiliate with one of her "Ending Techniques".

While Yukari performed a Shunpo, increasing the distance between them immediately, in her place appeared some form of armour.

"Kinzoku, Awaken!"

The armour glowed a vibrant purple, and in mere seconds, it armour shifted into a lively stance.
