Let the fighting commence!

Alastair walked through the forest of thick and plentiful trees. After a while he would come to a clearing where their was nothing for miles but grass and the occasional boulder. This place wpuld be suitable for this battle now the only thing he was missing was his opponent. Who should be arriving shortly. He would cross his arm and legs closing his eyes waiting in anticipation.

Isao moved through the thick vegetation of the forest as he headed toward the clearing. It seemed a fight was to be had, unfortunately. He never really liked violence unless it had a meaningful purpose. Even some motivation would be nice. Alas, he would just have to deal with it, as he was nearing his destination. His zanpakuto sat sheathed at his side as his Shihakusho bounced against his bodies movement. After a few more minutes, he stepped into the clearing to see that his opponent was already there. He was a rather handsome man with black hair and blue eyes. Isao would walk towards his direction and stop at about 15 meters from the man. "It seems you are my opponent. I don't really like fighting, I'd rather have a chat. However, this can't be avoided. Good luck." He said with a rather pleasant tone. "I am Isao Takeda, Lieutenant of the 5th Division." He decided to introduce himself as not everyone knew who he was. All he could do now was wait for the man to make the first move. He drew his sword from its resting place and brought it into a defensive position.

Alastair smiled at his opponent a familar a shinigami just like him. He raised blade from the sheath with his left hand mimicking his opponent movements,  "Alastair Knightfield, Lieutenant of the 1st Division. Pleased to meet you. I rather not fight either unless forced to, like now. No matter the circumstances lets both have a fun time. Why not enjoy it? Now lets say we start this off with a flash!" Alastair would raise his free hand as two blue golf ball sized spheres swirled in a circle around the tips of both his middle and index. The blue light would began to spark and slowly grow, "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens." Hado #73 Soren Sokatsui!" The two spheres would swell in power and size now the size of basketballs, blasting forward toward his opponent in the defensive position.

As the man, who's name was Alastair from what he said, introduced himself in a similar way to Isao. It seemed that under normal circumstances, they could be friends. It was sad that they had to fight like this, but there was no way around it. He spoke of enjoying the fight and starting it off with a flash, which made Isao's eyebrow raise with curiosity. He never really enjoyed fights, even just a friendly spar went against his nature. He was interested to see how the man would start off. He wouldn't have to wait long as Alastair's free hand moved forward with blue patches of reiatsu starting to form in front of it. Isao would listen to him start the incantation to Soren Sokatsui, which made him smile. Someone else that was skilled in kido and could use a level 70 spell? This would certainly be interesting. As the balls of kido charged toward Isao, he did not move. He would open his mouth to speak very clearly. "Bakudo #81, Danku" As the statement finished, a wall of reiatsu would appear in front of him, blocking the opponents Kido with relative ease. It would then shatter, signalling the end of the kido.

"I see you're skilled with Kido. Know that I am a master with Kido, so it will be hard to beat me with them." He spoke kindly to the man with a smile on his face. He could definitely see them being friends at this point. However, it was time to start the fight for real. He would use High Speed Movement to move to the left of the man at equal distance from where they started. His hand would be raised as purple reiatsu would quickly build in his hand. "Hado #54, Haien" He would shoot the purple ball of kido towards the man at a quick pace, hoping to see what kind of skills the man possessed. This was a simple test to see how well he reacted and dodged to incoming attacks.

Actions:

Alastair knew this fight was gonna be fun no matter the outcome. He would use his shunpo to get to the right side of back of him to his kido he would then charge a white light of the tips of index and middle finger again tuis time without an incantation for quick fire, "Hado #4 Byakurai." He would aim the blade at the center of his back hoping to through him off balance a little bit. He would at the time unsheath his blade just incase he decided to retaliate without using kido this time. He would notice and listen to the mans words he did know high leveled kido not as high as him it would seem but still efficient. He would need to watch his back on this one but he would be able to handle his own.

Techniques/Augments/Abilities Used:

Isao's kido missed as the man used Shunpo to dodge it. He would stop behind Isao causing him to turn only to see a attack being used. White sparks were jumping off his finger, which signaled the use of a very basic kido. However, it would be troublesome all the same. The kido shot towards Isao with a good speed, but not quite fast enough. If her were like most soul reapers, it would have hit. However, he too was quite good at moving at high speeds, enabling him to dodge. The way he did so, was unique. He used a technique that was incomplete, but still effective. The would look to hit him, causing him to stumble. However, this was just the effect of Utsusemi. He would actually have already moved above the opponent. His hand would hold a blue colored rod that was ready to be thrown. Hopefully, it would take Alastair too long to react, though he doubted it.

"Bakudo #62, Hyapporankan" As the last word was spoken, the rod would be thrown at his enemy. Suddenly, the rod would multiply into shorter rods. The great thing about this kido was that the amount of rods plus the area it covered made it hard to dodge. Still airborn, he would fall down behind them, with his blade raised for a vertical slash. If Alastair was caught in the rods, Isao would bring the sword down on his shoulder, hoping to injure the man.

Actions:

As he heard the name of a Bakudo he had to act quick. Within a moments notice he activated his Incomplete Junkei summoning two identical clones of Alastair. Alastair and the clones would use quick footwork to throw him off further but nothing of High Speed Movement quality. He would then decide to try something new. He would wait until the last second to respond to the Bakudo,  "Hado #1 Shou." He would use force this kido to slow the Bakudo furthest from him down but at the same time sending the closest one flying back into the slowed rods Of course this wouldn't save him from all the Bakudo but certainly enough to let his Incomplete Junkei clones to take the hit and at last as he was clear from the oncoming energy rods. He would use his shunpo to get infront of him attempting to heavy slash him across his abdomen. If this would fail he would quickly flip his blade thrust his hilt at his temple.

Techniques/Augments/Abilities Used:

Isao focused on his opponent, who seemed to be planning a counter to the difficult Bakudo. First, he would move quickly, creating clones out of pure speed. These clones took the brunt of the trap, but not all of it. Alastair also used Sho to block some of the rods. The man was certainly a good strategist. He would then used shunpo to try and close the gap on Isao. Isao moved his hand quickly, activating a kido while doing so. "Bakudo #8, Seki" The kido would send the man backwards when his blade touched it, giving Isao the opportunity he needed. He would spin his zanpakuto in his right hand quickly. "Surge, Waters and Heaven, Nejibana" The blade would glow yellow and extend as it moved, turning into it's shikai form. He would stop the zanpakuto and move into an offensive stance. Water flowed from it's ends as he dashed forward. He hoped this would be enough to do the job. As he got close to his opponent's body, he would use shunpo to move behind them. This was a feint, as the real attack was coming next.

This was it, if he could conect this attack, it would be over. He thrusted his trident forward, aiming the prongs at Alastair's back. Water burst from it's point. If he connected the hit, it would do stabbing damage plus damage from with wave of water that would surge from it's tip. This is what made his zanpakuto, Nejibana, truly great.

Actions:

Alastair’s was greatly impressed by Isao these two would most definitely be great allies. Anyway not the time to be ponding ideas. Just as Isao blocked his attack and parried the next he watched as his opponent used a shunpo to get behind him. He decide to try something new and daring. He would stand completely still as Isao attempted to impale him. He would lift his left arm allowing a small almost undetectable gap. He would then point his middle finger of his right arm through the small gap. It being the longest finger it would be the only one to pull off what he had in mind without affecting himself with the attack. He would then whisper this attack as slightly as he could,  "Hado #9 Geki." He would finger a small red beam at his opponent that if connected would paralyze him indefinitely which would definitely ensure his victory.

Techniques/Augments/Abilities Used:

OOC: After review, this attack is allowed, but be aware that Alatair WILL be hit by nejibana's water torrent, if not by the trident itself. Geki wont protect you from the attack, but it would paralyze Isao if it connects.

((It has been five days since my last post ~.~))

ooc: Feel free to call the kido a hit then. Unless you intend to notify isao directly.

Alastair was hit by the strong torrent of water which struck his back. While at the same time he successfully temporarily paralzyed Isao. Alastair would quickly regain his composer after being struck by the torrent of water and raise his blade, "I think it's time to finish this.... Shift.... Bengazi!!!" A beacon of Reiatsu would flow from around Alastair as it faded he sword would visibly have changed into its shikai form as Alastair held on to his weapons hilt. Within a blink of an eye he would usr his shunpo to quickly close the distance between them. When in range he would began to spin his body rapidly both heavily slashing forward repeatedly while spinning with his scythe and sword at several angles. At the final slash of his would he would red energy wave from his scythe which would further increase the damage applied by the flurry of cuts and slashes. If thise attack connected it would definitely ensure his victory,  "Akuma No Dansu!"
