While Eiji would wait for his long lost friend to finally return he would realize that his skills were not yet ready for that of an invasion or truly knew if he was even worthy of the title Fraccion Leader. However, this was something soon to change for he was growing tired of wasting the time he could possibly be training on sitting next to the third espadas placement seat in the meeting room and honestly he felt his scene for action and killing diminishing… He would look up from his light slumber to see if his leader had returned knowing full well he didn’t he would stand to stretch his legs and get at least a little movement going for he had been sitting for a few months now not truly moving from that spot other than to hunt for the food he needed for survival for h would not go back to his former state.

Therefore, without a true second thought he felt it was time to go meet some of the higher ups and not simply sit ideally by and let time pass and his skills worsen for he needed to be sharp and ready for anything. So with this he knew the place to go he would go in search for the first espada only second in power to the king of all hollows this would be a good man to talk to and even learn a few things to help his skills grown even greater in power. With this he would start walking into the halls of the Grand palace hoping he would find the primera wondering around looking for something to do or perhaps he would be doing the same and stretching his legs out for it was getting rather quite around Hueco Mundo though that could always change at a moment’s notice and with that it put an even greater pep in his step to find him and not simply talk but rather train to maybe one day fill the position of an espada.

Furthermore, as he would stroll the halls in his usual attire of his black leather jacket and white one under it that was a deep V neck that would show his rippling abs. With this he would have his favorite necklets that was a part of his black leather jacket as the string and would hold one of the unique bones from someone he killed he felt it fit him well so he took it as his price for that fight, however, moving on his would have tight black pants that would loosen at the bottom to give him some extra room for when he was attack so he wasn’t uncomfortable and would have no shoes on for he like the feeling of the stone on his bare feet. With this he would walk around the usual straps that he wore on his pants wrapped around so it simply looked like part of the pants that many wouldn’t be able to notice. However, as he was walking down the hall he would see a shadow form as though it was coming his way and he would slow down his pace so not to simply run into the person and would wonder what being would be the first to cross his path hoping he wouldn’t waste much time looking around he would have no expression on his face for truly there was nothing to show though his eyes would be focused on the corner and his hand even though in his pocket ready to swiftly pull out his sword and attack if the time would come for it…

Gabriel was walking about the grand hall with nothing more to do than simply move around, his legs had been restless and the time to use them had come. With every step he grew more and more bored, his mind blanking as he walked around the corner to find an arrancar around it. Eyeing said arrancar, he realized it would happen to be Eiji, the fraccion leader for the the third espada. A single brow would raise in question of why this one would be roaming about the halls of Las Nochas, curious as to what this one would be doing in the grand hall. The very idea that this fraccion might be wandering about was something of a trivial mature but with nothing else to do the Primera would speak with a low tone, his hands resting at his sides.
"Well this is an interesting turn of events, so tell me fraccion, what is it that brings you to the grand hall? Are you looking for something, or have you just grown bored with doing nothing as I have?"

It wasn't rare for the arrancar to roam about their home, but to find one so far from his Espada was something of interest. Motioning for Eiji to follow him, Gabriel continued his halted walk, making his way to the wall of Las Nochas. Pushing off the ground softly, he would rise through the air to the top of the wall, not bothering to look behind him to see if the other would follow or not. He was aware that the fraccion was looking for somebody, why else would he be walking around the grand hall. With a momentary pause atop the wall, he would turn to see the place he called home, kicking off the wall to shoot forwards towards the sands of Hueco Mundo like a rocket. He would turn while still in the air, his feet landing on the sands with enough force to kick up a cloud as he slid backwards, the sand slowly bringing him to a halt. As the sand cloud subsided he would be seen standing with his hands at his sides, his right hand resting on the hilt of his zanpakuto.
"You must have been looking for a source of entertainment young arrancar, lucky for you so was I. Now come and show me what it is you can do to entertain me, and let us see if I may entertain you as well." With a flare of reiatsu the sand around him would kick up more cloud, pushing it outwards as he waited for the other to come to him.  He was interested to see what the other was capable of, for a fraccion. If he was truly an espada's fraccion he would meet the offer with a sword raised high and all the fighting prowess that dictated his title. He would soon see what it was this Eiji would do, and his lips would curve into the slightest of smiles at the thought of battle. He would probably have to hold back a bit, but he wasn't against doing so in the sport of training somebody to grow stronger.

Eiji would stop in his tracks as for a strike of luck it would be the man his was looking for seeing as it would be the primera espada he would let out a slight smile that would fade instantly before the man could see it. The man would lower his guard slightly as he saw the gesture to follow him and he would listen to his question wondering how the man knew he was a fraccion though there weren’t many people left in this land so he would just assume the word of a new fraccion would spread swiftly though it would be possible he knew his name from the war many months ago however, he didn’t really fret over the details for he found the man he would be looking for.


He would be walking with the man as his feet would hit the nice cool sand and he would have a smile of enjoy meet slide across his lips as he walked and as he would take the steps right after another the sand coming between his toes feeling better with every step he would leap just as the espada would and he would sigh as the man would stop briefly to look at the place they called home. He would gaze back as well for he truly loved the place with a passion it was finally a place he could call his own and be accepted for once. Though he would notice the sound of the man jumping into the sand and he would hear as it would blast up the sand and he would let out a small laugh and would grab his zanpakto and would push off the wall with great force to have a set momentum going toward the espada he knew he was faster and had better sword skill so he would have to try and use everything he could to take the advantage and attack the man…


He would have a giant smile on his face as he would take a slash toward the man’s right waist not deep enough to really cause permanent damage though he would get the man either to back up or try and block he would prefer the earlier one so his landing would be shadow him in the cloud of sand and he could try something else to attack the man hopefully in time for him to get a hit off. He would smile even greater for he was finally enjoying himself for once instead of sitting in wait he was actually enjoying his time in las noches once more and would hope it wouldn’t end soon.

Watching the movements of his opponent, Gabriel could tell he would have an interesting time with him, and at the sight of the other pushing off the wall his smile faded. The sword swing was basic, aimed for a large part of the body, but easily dodged or blocked by any who had the same skill if not higher skills than the fraccion. With a hop off the ground, he would lift his legs so the blade slid just under them, kicking out at the shoulders of Eiji with enough force to push him back at least ten feet. He didn't mind fighting this assancar, but it wasn't exactly easy to throtlle ones capabilities when all they do is fight all out. In actuality if he had put full force into the kick and it connected it would send the other flying back, but seeing as it was merely training and that would probably break something, he had to keep his actions dampened.
"Good idea for the waist, but when striking you always want to try and get the strike to hit, regardless of where it hits. Aim for placed that can't be easily blocked, for places that are harder for the opponent to reach. The area just above the pectorals, the shoulder area would have been a better idea. Go big or go home, as they say in the human world I believe."

The Primera would give advice in this fight, and regardless if the strikes hit or not, he would be prepared for anything the other might throw at him. Gabriel wouldn't draw his zanpakuto just yet, doing so meant he would have an even more difficult time holding back. He could feel the reiatsu of the other, and that alone would give away any placement. That was the way he fought, sensing rather than seeing. It was something he had adapted many a years ago, and it had won him many a battles in the past. IF the other dodged he would be impressed, and if he recovered from the strike and countered, he'd be equally impressed. But his view of the other would still hold regardless of how impressive he could be, and that was that he was a fraccion. Gabriel didn't base power on rank, but he did base power on skill, and unless the other showed him skills worthy of a different view, he would simply remain the fraccion of the third Espada. He called people by their names in battle if he respected them, and they would soon see whether or not he respected the fraccion. He kept the hand on his blade in case he needed it, and to see what the other would do in response to the fact that had yet to draw it. Reactions told Gabriel a lot of things, and the reactions he got from the other would be what decided the fight. If one couldn't control their emotions in battle, they wouldn't be able to control their blade.

As he would slide back ten feet struggling to keep his balance as more dust would be kicked up, Eiji would be slightly pissed that the man wouldn’t be taken the fight serious though he wouldn’t let it show for that would cost him a fight in reality so he would simply let out a sigh and turn toward the man who would have jumped away from him and he would charge a cero in his hand and look at the man to distract him for though he knew he was faster than the man he would have to try and at least distract him but he would truly want to talk to the man for a while and why not charge a cero while he would do so it wouldn’t hurt but it would be rather helpful no matter what he would do. So with that he would have a black cero growing on his middle finger with a blue tint that would look almost like a black room with a blue tinted light.


He would have a smirk on his face and laugh he wouldn’t truly mean that he would be able to kill him or even truly get a hit on the man though he would try and see if this would spark something under the man to actually take his zanpakuto out and try and attack the man though it would be nearly impossible to dodge him he would find a way to and he would sigh as he would realize that his cero was nearly done.  So the stalling was nearly done though he would want to get some close combat done with his hands and to improve his speed all at the same time for his spiritual pressure is already as high as it will be for the time being only growing when he gets a promotion.


He would use the moment he would try and speak to shut his cero at his left shoulder and he would sonido to the back right side a few feet back so that his blade would go smooth through his skin if he tried to slide right he would slice with all his force into his right arm and left pectoral muscle for he did like the advice and sense he got it he felt this was his called for him to attack him a little more serious and not worry about the counter actions that would happen to his body. So with that he would truly try and attack the man though not going for kill shots he would try and destroy some limbs and cause some great scars to earn the man’s respect.

Tech's used :

Gabriel did nothing more than sonido so behind his opponent, kicking at the back of the fraccion in attempts to push him into his own cero. As he kicked with his right leg, he would let his left leg touch the sands below. If the kick went through as planned, the other would be sent into his own cero, and that alone would be painful, not adding the pain of a kick to the back.
"You happened to be around when I was walking the halls, so you are my prey for the time being. As far as being chewed, who would actually say anything about us fighting out here, maybe your Espada would mind but nobody else would care." In truth he wasn't lying, not many of the Espada would even give a second glance at their sparring match, and any who did wouldn't say anything about it.

He must have struck a nerve with the fact that he wouldn't draw his blade, considering the sigh and change of attack by his opponent. Gabriel didn't care if he had or if he hadn't emotions other than the passion for battle meant nothing to him. If the other showed enough passion and strength, he would unsheathe his blade and come at the fraccion with all the power he could muster without killing him. Unlit that time came he would kick and punch at the other, possibly fire a cero or two. In his experience between arrancar, unless a ressureccion was released the battle wasn't going to be too extreme, and unless the fraccion before him entered his ressureccion he wouldn't have much need to do anything drastic. Releasing his ressureccion upon the other would also be something he would refrain from doing, as to not scare or confuse him. His ressureccion could be devastating to others if they didn't see it coming, and he didn't know how Eiji would react to complete darkness and lack of reiatsu sense. Both factors would be something he would be without in Gabriel's ressureccion, and if he entered it there would be no holding back.

The fraccion showed potential, but he was the thirds fraccion and he would let the Espada decide what was to become of this arrancar. It wasn't his business what the other did, and he didn't give the idea a second thought. Although the grip on his zanpakuto would tighten ever so slightly, he refused to fight with it unless he needed to. Even if he had to draw the zanpakuto, he would only use the flat of the blade to strike, as to not lop off limbs that can't be replaced. It would be a shame if this fraccion suddenly lose an arm or two in a training match. Then he might get chewed out by another Espada for his actions, but he wasn't too worried about that idea. He was sure the other would be able to dodge his strikes when the time came to do so. With that thought in mind, he let his body enter instinct mode, or as he like to call it his 'battle mode.'

Moves Used:

As Eiji would sonido behind the man and his blade would be swung he would lose sight of the man that was once in front of him for truly he was much faster than him. With this, however, he would know that it was pointless to try and follow him with his eyes and he would focus more on the man’s spiritual pressure, though it would be rather difficult to do this and fight he would need practice with it and what better time to try it than now so he would let out a slight breath and in the instant that the other man’s foot would almost make contact with his back he would finally realize where he was.  Eiji would wait for a mere moment as he would let the cero come a few more centimeters and let the foot get a little more placement on his back before using a sonido once more this time going upward so to let the blast pass one more. With this, he would be placed ten feet in the air and he would fire four fast bala one to the right of the blast, one to the left, and the rest he would wait for the man’s movement to place them, however, they would take no time leaving his fingers once he followed his spiritual pressure once more.


He would let out a burst of laughter not losing sight of the importance of staying focused for even if he did not feel threatened he still wouldn’t let his guard down. However, would rather be impressed at the espada he knew he would be out match but this was rather ridiculous, but it was enjoyable so he would let the smile widen even more, this would expose the sharp teeth that would resemble that of a shark though he wouldn’t know if the man before he would know what that was, but he didn’t truly care either. With this, the man would be in the air waiting on a man to make his next move if he came behind him his left hand with the bala still on it would go across his body and shoot the bala behind him throw a crack between his side and his right arm. Though if he would come in front of the man he would send his blade downward to try and stab the man.


For a moment, he would think about undoing the straps that were on the man’s legs but he would save that for later to surprise the man and hopefully catch him off guard. It would seem he was losing the chess game of battle for now. However, he hoped it to be a long one so he could at least try and corner him once or twice to understand what type of fighter he truly was.

Without so much as a glance to where the other was, Gabriel coated his still out stretched foot with reiatsu, letting the cero touch upon it before kicking upwards harshly. Many knew of his powerful cero's but what a handful knew was that Gabriel could deflect cero's. This alone was only one of the list that made him Primera, and the aim of the kick was to send the cero upwards at it's owner. The kick would only increase the speed behind said cero, and with it's upwards acceleration it would eat the bala like they were dust. It was interesting to see just how close the other got to danger before moving out of the way. That indeed was something worthy of considering, but then again he wasn't much into praising others. How the fraccion responded to him kicking a cero upwards at him would be interesting to watch, and even more interesting to see the reaction. Letting his leg fall to the ground again, Gabriel felt the other by reiatsu, not even really looking at him anymore.

The need to survive was strong, and unless put into a position that would do damage, many avoided the danger of pain at all costs. The fact that this one dodged as well only meant the Primera would have a more annoying time getting hits in on him that actually hurt. The fraccion had good reflexes and an imagination, which would help in battles with others, but creativity in battle was one of the key factors between winning and losing. Everything a battle consisted of was the tide, the creativity, and the skill. If you lack strength in one, use the others in extreme amount to compensate and you can still win. This was what made great fighters, strong attributes in those area and the ability to compensate for lack of one or the other. Without that kind of capability, they would be grounded like a snake wishing to fly.
"Must be a shock to see a cero that belongs to you returning to you in such a manner. If you wish I can teach you how to do so another time." For the time being he wanted to gauge the abilities of the fraccion, and if the time came when he should teach him the ways of cero deflection, then he would. Sadly enough this was not the time or place to do so, and even if the other asked he would deny it and strike harder for trying to learn something before the fight was over.

His initial idea was just to toy with this arrancar and then send him back to his master, but now that he had gotten into the battle a bit more he wanted to see just how far he could push the other before he broke. It was sadistic and cruel, but then again what was battle without limit breaking, and he loved to break limits. That in and of itself was one of the key factors to growing stronger, knowing one's limits and being able to expand them to levels unknown. If it couldn't be done, then what point was there in fighting.

Eiji would be in a bind as the cero he fired would know be headed back at him. Truly this was a unique and rather useful skill, however, he had not time to be in shock and aw and he would think what would be the best action to do in this situation and seeing as he was in the air it would be rather hard yet easy at the same time, without a moment of hesitation he would compress some reiatsu around his feet and use them basically as plate to push off of barely dodging the man’s attacks he would slowly start to fall upside down as his blade would still be out and he would do a side flip landing on his feet his sword still in his right hand. He would grip it a bit more tightly as he would be wondering how to get through the man’s defenses once more though it didn’t truly matter how he did it…


He would be rather excited at the challenge this man would bring him instead of getting mad and throwing random blows this man was dragging out more talent over the course of the battle, this was something new to the young man would find it rather enjoyable though he did the same thing in a way so really maybe this is why he was taking an interest in the man. Was it because they were so similar in what little personality the man had shown so far that he wanted to continue? Or what it rather something deeper that he had yet to remember or choice to suppress he truly won’t know, but he didn’t have time to are right now either.


He would not wait for the man’s response and would charge at him with a push from his right foot as the blade would kick up sand as he would move swiftly across the area to get toward his what he would usually call “prey”, after getting about six feet out he would twirl making a small sand storm and he would stop on his left foot and kick out of it as it would fly into the man’s face. Even if this didn’t blind him it would distract him for he would have to move out of the way or perhaps he would stay and try using it to his advantage. Either way he fired two bala at the man’s hand on his sword and then one at the opposite side to the shoulder to try and get some type of reaction out of him. He would be on guard ready to block an attack if one were to come and he would be waiting ideally for the perfect opportunity still to come…

The sand tactic was one that he himself had used in a training match with his fraccion, and it was interesting to see the other use it as well. Either he had heard about it form his own fracicon, or the man just had the mind for such antics. Regardless of how or why he did it, Gabriel simply closed his eyes and pointed the index finger of his hand on the hilt at the mans chest, still holding the hilt. From it a fully charged, pitch black cero would fire instantly from his finger tip aimed at the chest of the other. The cero would eat up the bala like the cero of his opponents had when he deflected it, yet his cero would prove to be a great deal more powerful. That and the fact that he fired it instantly at full power would be something of a bother to the other at least.
"Do not fret about such trivial things, if you were boring me, I would have knocked the sense out of you and left by now." It was the only thing he would say to the other, standing perfectly still to sense the other without trouble.

The sand beneath his own feet would feel soft, and he enjoyed the feel of it. He would let it sift between his toes and graze his feet, truly soft against his harm skin. He was contemplating drawing his sword to get more of a reaction from the fraccion before him. but how the other dealt with the oncoming cero would decide whether or not he would do such a thing. If he in fact drew his blade it would be trouble for Eiji, seeing as that meant he would be close to the fraccion at all times to deal damage. His tactics changed drastically when he had his blade sheathed and unsheathed, as well as in ressureccion. The changes were made to throw the opponent off, and in doing so the tide of battle would flow in his direction for at least a moment. In those moments he would take every advantage given to him, using them against the opponent to devastate them. He was the Primera for a reason, and that was because as a fighter he was one that would devastate the opponent at every opportunity, dealing massive amounts of damage when the time called for it. He fought like that because it was the only way he knew how to fight, which was why it was difficult for him to hold back. His fraccion would be able to tell anybody how hard it was for him to hold back his strength or power, always aggravated when he had to do so. It was something of an insult to himself to have to hold back but he didn't like fatally wounding his own kind unless they deserved it or asked for it. He was interested in how the fraccion would counter such an attack, and more interested in how he would make him draw his blade.

Augmentations:

Eiji’s eyes would widen slightly as he would be close to near death for the man battling him would fire a full power cero swifter than he would have thought one could have, but it was rather funny. He would charge a cero in the palm of his left hand trying to hide the glow he would dash toward the man after he would sonido beside him right before the cero touched his nose to make it seems he was vaporized trying to hide his presence slightly as he would do so. He would be slashing down at the man’s left should slightly more toward the collar bone and he would close his hand even more so that the man wouldn’t see the cero ready to fire at any time that he would need it. He would smirk wondering how a man would react, but he felt that this time he would do something different.

In addition, to charging the cero and the downward slash on the man’s left side, he would sondio once more now being just slightly under the man and coming up with an upward slash trying to cut his right hand off so that he wouldn’t even be able to use his blade. With his presence slightly off the move should surprise the man if not but by a little. This would give him time to think of his next action while he thought to himself. ‘This is getting rather interesting I might actually have to use my ressureccion’. He would laugh at the mere thought, but it was a possibility for if the primera had decided this was a move to use his sword the cero would be the starting chain for his activation and using his abilities to his max potential.

Furthermore, this would all happen in a rather swift motion even though the man was fast than him as he was slashing from within a fast pace movement of his sonido it would make his strikes even though basic a little more difficult to read but not by much truly. This would either be a fatal attack pattern or a grand mistake on his part though he would do his best to keep from being scratched to see how long he could go without going full force. He didn’t really care about the other man being a higher rank than him and he knew he was holding back but he felt he was faring rather well in this bout and as a man’s short response. This made him feel as though he was finally being taken serious and that soon he would have to really think about his moves for it would start becoming more life or death and that was something he wouldn’t truly care to deal with. It would be rather funny that this was a situation many times he put his enemy in and now he was in it his self for once it was rather exciting more than terrifying…

Tech's used :

The fast paced strikes from the other were interesting to see, switching form long to close range in a matter of seconds. With a side step he would dodge the swing at his shoulder, unsheathing his blade a good foot and a half to block the blade aimed to strike at his hand. From this he would kick out at the abdomen of the fraccion, unsheathing his zanpakuto fully with a smile. It was about time to show this arrancar what it meant to wield a sword. He would teach the other what being an arrancar meant and just how powerful he was, and how powerful Eiji might be able to become. It wasn't much of a threat yet, but from the unsheathing and the kick he would hold the blade, upside down with the point facing the ground, outwards, his smile holding as he did so.
"Come at me with the strongest swing you can muster, I want to see everything it is you can do. I shall then show you the power an Espada holds behind their blade, so that you may know what it means to wield a zanpakuto. I will give you a glimpse of power that will give you the drive needed to ascend in power to something more, so that you may fight against captain's one day."

Everything about him in that moment was pure battle instinct, his pupils dilating to near pin point dots as he stare the other down, his left hand free and ready to strike if the other decided to do anything tricky. They had the same style in that sense, and he wouldn't take any action as just an action, there had to be a hidden motive behind each movement. Every motion needed to compliment the one coming after, each strike leading up to another and another until you have a flawless string of combo's that are near impossible to escape from. This was the way of the warrior, a true beast in man's image, something that was at once unstoppable and unpredictable. He radiated spirit energy and death, his alias as Executioner one forged from the death of hundreds on the war. Gabriel carried himself as a man who would sooner slaughter species then give a helping hand, the look in his eyes one of hunger. It wasn't often he got the chance to strike fear into the heart of others, but when he did he did so with an unending gaze that would shatter the mind of children and send mortal men screaming for death. His smile would perk up ever so slightly as his adrenaline got flowing, his mind focusing on the opponent with staggering accuracy and acuteness. It was the only thing that flowed through his mind, and the need to quench this thirst was almost on par with his ruthlessness. He wanted to see the fraccion squirm in fear, sweat running down his brow, shaking from the power he possessed. Everything in his being wanted to dominate the opponent before him, and he would make it evident very soon just how he would do so.

Eiji would not wait even a fraction of a second after his attack was blocked to send the cero flying high at the man from his bare palm. For there He would sonido behind him with great speed trying to prove a point that fear is something that isn’t easily stuck in him. Though rather that it would take more than a gaze to slow him down. With this his smile along with the espada's would widen, his blood would begin to pump and now that the espada's sword was drawn the next words would throw him onto the next level and possibly cut the man if he did not move for the wind that would surround him now wouldn’t be from his moment but his ressurrecion. It would be an intense build of wind swirling around the man who would either send the espada moving or he would have deep cuts all over his body simply from the release.  The words would speak in a rather swift manner so not to get cut while speaking would be ‘Deje que los colmillos buscan sangre una vez más’. With that, his blade would disappear, and a pair of shoes would appear on his feet though he hated shoes this was something of a different kind and would truly bring a shock to the man.

He would waste no time in taking his next attack into account and would use his famous ‘cross fang’ sending two pressurized blades at the espada’s back that would be crossing each other. With that, he would then use another sonido to escape from any counter attack the man would do putting at least twenty feet between them so not to get caught in a bad situation. In addition, this would be his best counter attack to that of an espada taking someone slightly more serious to not get instantly killed.


He would be in somewhat of a crouched stance, and he would be ready to move if the man would come for an attack at almost any angle he would try and escape. However, he would know that his high speed moves where coming to an end for he truly was trying hard to simply land the first blow for neither of them had succeeded in even somewhat scratching each other, though there were many close calls that his body might have received a blow somehow he had managed to survive this far. He would wonder how long it would last his back and forth with this man for truly the one that needed to rest first would pay for it and he was not trying to be the one at that disadvantage. Though with the man at hand moving quite faster than him he would probably soon be forced to start doing so.


He would smirk wondering if he would even get an answer from the man, for truly he seemed to slowly more and more get sucked into this battle and would get more and more serious. However, the young fraccion would welcome this so that he would truly know the difference in skill between him and the espada that he would be looking up to. So that he would not just be blindly following people he considered strong but were no more powerful than himself.

Tech description/ Ability:

It was interesting to see what the others ressureccion could do, and with a simple sonido he would be standing just outside the radius of the raging winds with a fully charged cero firing the moment he exited the sonido. From this he would smile a bit more, watching as the cero the other fired got lost in the sky above them. It was truly fascinating how they worked, and it was something of a hobby of his to see just how much punishment one could take from cero's. That's what led him into this situation, and seeing as the cero fired at eleven feet away the instant he left sonido, it would be hard pressed for dodging completely, if at all. The winds looked powerful, but there was a limit to the power the other possessed, and that was going to be the factor that played in just how strong those winds were. He actually looked at the technique that was meant to fire at him, sort of glad he wouldn't be hit by something like it. The fact that he had chosen to fire the cero after the other went into ressureccion rather than the moment he did showed that he still held back, even if only a fragment.
"I am intimidating to those who fear death, pain, and despair. If you fall victim to those emotions then you will surely be crippled in this battle little prey, but do not fret, I will instill an emotion in you that cannot be described in words or through actions. Something truly unknown before your time will be gifted to you in the same way you would gift one with the news that they are dying, and there is no cure..."

With that he would click his tongue, standing in the air with those hungry eyes and killer smile. Everything about him was primal, his rieatsu flaring ever so slightly to punctuate his speech, blade held with a tight grip. Although his eyes were sharp, they were half lidded, a trait he held when holding back. It was one of the only hints that he might actually be throlling his abilities, and with it came the fact that he still wanted more. Unless his eyes were fully open he wasn't giving it his all, his everything, his absolute. If this fraccion managed to make him bleed, he would enter ressureccion, but after that the fight would basically be over. Everything in his ressureccion was built to instill the fear and despair of somebody who can't even find their way out, and something of a travisty to those who weren't strong enough to face him before it. If in fact this arrancar could hurt him in any way, he would give him the gift of that dying person with no cure, something that nobody could feel and stay the same from. The unending gaze was a fact that he took some seriousness in this fight, but the way he carried himself and the way he spoke told that he wanted to see more from this one, and that meant pushing him harder.

As a man would disappear once more, it would be a good thing he was still tracking the man by his reiatsu level otherwise this hit would have damaged him. However, he was on guard and would do a back step from his current position as he would now be looking straight at the man who sent the cero down though he could not escape the blast, and it would injure him thought not enough to really mention more would destroy some of his clothing. Thanks to the wind that was going viciously around his body it was rather hard to land a hit on the young fraccion. With that, he would start to charge wind into his ressureccion so that his next attack could flow off smoothly. Though he truly didn’t know which one of his techniques he would want to use, he would not take any heavy risk now and would rather play of the other attacks to try and counter. With that, he would stop kicking up more dirt into the air.


Furthermore, It would seem that a man would finally find someone to bring out his hidden shark instincts once more he would now be completely focused on the man he was battling and wouldn’t worry about holding back or trying to not show off his power for now he felt as though he wanted to destroy this man. Not out of jealousy but of pure excitement he would now have the eyes many had fallen victim to the eyes that would cross and show no mercy. Those would be the sign that now Eiji would be something of an animal in the wild, not stopping unless he finally caught his prey or he was caught and had to admit defeat.


In addition, this would probably one of the last sentences he would say to the man for now his fangs would show literally… He would have his mouth in an arched smile showing off his rather sharp teeth. That would be the ultimate sign that he was enjoying himself and that he was ready for the next attack the man would send toward him. He would wonder if the man would come in for any close range attacks now. He would not know what this man would do, but he would have somewhat of a guest for truly he would be watching his every move waiting for the moment that once again the freed shark would attack.

Moreover, he would be standing in a position so that if he had to leap he could dodge, attack, or even try and parry the man’s attack though he would not be able to dodge forever and would need to find a way to corner the man. Though he would slowly see that their area was becoming shorter and shorter from the wall and he would wonder if the man now above him would notice. He would not give it a glance so not to give it away, but he would know it was rather close to the point were going his forwards and the man’s backwards would result in a rather trick situation no matter who you were.

Cooldowns :

With a small wave of the hand, Gabriel motioned for the boy to come closer, the sinister look in his eyes daring the fraccion to take action. The looming wall behind him was known to him long before the battle took it's turn for the serious, having been an avid fighter he had to know where it was so he didn't piss off the creator of it. He knew where the wall was simply because the rieatsu imbued in it to help fix it was always present, and with that he could feel the wall behind him in the same way he felt Eiji in front of him. If either of them struck the wall they would have hell to pay for it later by Fera, but he would make sure not to strike the wall unless absolutely necessary. His smile would falter for a moment, the lull in the battle seemingly growing as he shifted from foot to foot in the air. The fast that the other had no blade was one that he didn't exactly enjoy, but then again he would slaughter children if ordered to, so it wasn't that big of an issue.
"Prove to me that there should be a next time and there will be..."

With that being said Gabriel took his fighting stance, one that seemed extremely rare to most, and a forgotten art to any who hadn't lived long enough to see it. He bent at the knee's, crouching slightly for a firm stance, his blade held out a chest level horizontally. His left hand was under the blade, open palm at abdomen level. This was a stance that meant any strike he did land would be painful and bloody, a ruthless stance that left may lying on the ground in a pool of their own blood. He took this stance as a warning and as a dare, either he would see the other move to strike, or he himself would give chase and strike, one way or the other he would hit the man. A lethal fighting style that forsakes the body in order to kill, damage being ignored in the pursuit of attacking. His body was tensed in this stance every muscle in his arms and legs tensed and ready to react in any given situation.

As another note to this fighting style, something he had adapted in his many years of battle, his eyes would close completely. There was no sign of them being even cracked, giving up his sense of sight in order to better 'see' his opponent via reiatsu. Everything around him was shut out aside from the enemy ahead of him, and the complete darkness let him find the other with the ease of a second nature ability. His multitude of fighting styles didn't compare to this one, none of them giving up the senses or body to go for all out strikes, this was truly the fighting style of a man with nothing to lose. Gabriel didn't have to see to find the other, he didn't have to see the strikes, he could hear and sense them through ears and reiatsu. Vision was something that actually limited the fighting capabilities of people, and if it is taken away they lose a part of their fighting spirit. Take away a mans vision and he must learn to be blind, take away their sense of reiatsu, and they forget about their lack of sight.

With the wave of the other hand, Eiji would still be taking in the wind for he still truly didn’t know what his next form of attack would be. However, he knew he would rather it be a counter strike than a full force offensive attack. Though he would entertain the espada and would have wind circle around his arms and legs going to a rather high speed so that he could get a little extra range with his hits though he would not expand it until the hits almost landed so that to make it more difficult to dodge. Now that this was set up he would use a burst of wind from his feet to launch him at his opponent in a great amount of speeds even faster than when he jumped off the wall. That should have caught the man off guard for truly he should not be able to speed up so drastically even if he were in his ressureccion. He would think were to place his the first attack, and he would choice to do a spinning back kick to the man’s left shoulder with his right leg. So if a man were to try and stab straight for his body he would miss, and most likely his hit would land and with his foot nearing the man’s body he would be about three feet away total in distance his foot only inches away from the man’s shoulder he would expand the wind on his leg an extra foot. That would cause some serious damage to a man if he did not quickly get out of the way. However, the young arrancar would not be that of a fool and would make sure his eyes never left the man’s using his instinct to make sure the kick had the proper placement.

After the kick either was landed, blocked, or dodged the man would have to think of a counter strike now with a great amount of air focused into his ressureccion he would have a huge advantage if a man would choice to stay in close quarters. Though his sword skills and Hakudo were probably far greater than his own, it would not matter for his ressureccion closed those gaps greatly. In addition to this the stronger he would grow in those to areas the more deadly he would truly become when using this. For truly that is why he was trying to use his weapon as much as possible though he would hope he would not need it as much as today in the future. It would amaze him if he landed a hit, but he would not truly think there was much of a way out of this. Though if the man would slash at his leg or block his attack the next thing that was to come would happen even for an espada at close range to fast to fully avoid or at least prove very difficult to dodge. His smile is still going across his face as his hair would be blowing from the air around his standing tall instead of falling close to his shoulders as usual.

He could tell by the sound of the wind and the feeling of the others reiatsu that he was closing in fast, something he didn't exactly enjoy, but not something that he couldn't handle. Gabriel would wait until the moment the air around the leg would expand to sonido behind his opponent, swinging his blade during sonido so that once he exited it the blade would be millimeters from the others body, aimed for the center of the back horizontally across. from this the Primera would push off the air, launching himself back away from the raging wind round the fraccion. The shoulder of his jacket was torn and frayed, but aside from that he was unharmed. The winds were interesting to say in the least, but without an actual strike landing on them his opponent wouldn't have a very good chance of making full use of them. The weaponlessness of the ressureccion was something to be considered, and the fact that the 'weapons' were on his feet only made for something of a problem to the fraccion. He would have to kick a lot more in order to do damage, and although punching was great there wouldn't be much protection from blades. Although he was swinging with the flat of the blade, it would still hurt a hell of a lot, and if it made contact it would send the other flying towards the wall.
"You improve rather quickly, that is a good trait to have. Sadly enough though you have to do better if you want to make me bleed..."

He spoke with his eyes closed, staring down the other behind his eye lids as if they weren't closed. The way he carried himself was that of a man who had never been able to see, fighting with instincts and senses most forgot about. There was no moment when his guard was down, and the times when he actually made a wind at the other, he would be swinging at area's that can take a lot of damage without making the fraccion collapse. There had almost been blood, and that meant the other was trying a lot harder to make those strikes hit. That was a good thing, and if Eiji managed to strike him hard enough to cause bleeding, then he would enter his ressureccion. Until that time came it was flat strikes to send the other flying. Although the fraccion was fighting hard, Gabriel couldn't help but feel there was something missing from the way the other attacked. He would keep assessing the arrancar until he figured out exactly what it might be, but it was bothering him ever so slightly, and his mind was straining to figure it out.
"There is something about the way you move, the way you strike. I don't feel the drive behind the attack, you're aiming to hit me, but there doesn't seem to be enough resolve behind it. Do not swing to hit me swing to go through me. In the same way you punch through a wall, aiming to send your fist through the object. That is the way to add power behind your strikes, it also makes them harder to dodge." It was useful information indeed, but if the other used it he might have to try harder to dodge or block. Then again that was the point of giving the other the information, to make this fight more of a challenge for himself and to improve the skills of the other.

Moves Used:

As Eiji would be going for a strike he would notice that the near moment it seemed that he would finally get a hit on this man he would move, he would end up behind him, and his blade would be aiming to hit him in the center of his back. Though the strike would not have its full force for his wind was quite a handy thing, he would use the moment he would hear the sound blade tapping his wind to sondio behind the man, however, this time he would be shooting something that went much faster than a kick or punch. He would have foot nearly centimeters away from the man’s body this time, and he would fire four ballistics into the man’s back two on the right side one aimed for the spine and the other on the left. Seeing as it was so close range the fastly moving highly pressurized what seemed to be air bullets would be nearly impossible to damage without bleeding, For he would fire them will in the sonido so that even if tracked it was too late for the bullets were fired and even if these missed the man would draw blood from the simple distance he was standing over the man from his wind.

It was a rather tricky situation though he could exit it would not truly be unharmed this time, or at least he thought that way. With this his smile would grow larger almost to the point where he wanted to laugh, but he would not, it was amazing the rush he would be feeling from the battle as it waged on. He would be experiencing one of the best rushes he had known and that were the feel of life and death battle. He would not be one to not take someone’s advice from a higher position, so he truly was aiming to go through the man now and to honestly almost kill him. He knew it would be a nearly impossible feat, but he was so consumed with adrenaline and blood lust he did not care all he would think about was tearing this man apart to see how he would react.

In addition, to this uncontrollable blood lust starting to brew his eye would grow even sharper piercing the man with his gaze as though to simple he was not trying to simply spar the man anymore. For he finally realized if he was only trying to spare and espada he would never land a hit, he would truly have to aim for a deadly near fatal strike so that to maybe catch them off guard and if not still cause mild damage as they would dodge the most fatal attack. He would not speak and would be silent and swift maybe responding to a man after he saw how this attack would play out and would wonder if he would have earned the man’s respect during this fight. Though these thought were momentary and didn’t effect anything going on with the battle for he did not slow himself or the attack with these fluttering thoughts, but try and speed them up to earn his respect.

Tech's used:

The next move might come as a bit of a shock to the fraccion, but Gabriel would have sonido'd a good ten feet to the right in the instant before the other left sonido, watching the bullet like air wiz by before firing a cero at the man from his current position. It wasn't difficult at all to follow him by his reiatsu, and with that he simply moved out of the way. The only reason somebody strikes at the back is if they need to make lethal attacks hit, or if they truly think they can find a blind spot. Sadly enough since his vision was reiatsu based at the moment, he could follow the other with pin point accuracy, and that was all he needed to shift placement. The power and speed alone was enough to make him not want to get hit by them, but since they were so fast the back of his jacket had been ripped to shreds by the technique the man fired. With a sigh he let the tattered remains fall to the floor below, exposing his chest as he slowly opened his eyes. Making direct eye contact with the other, Gabriel uttered only two words, and with them his opponents world would go black.
"Sumergir, Sombra..."

The words left his lips and in that instant everything shifted into his favor, his blade vanishing for a moment as his spiritual pressure sky rocketed. A burst of energy and a cloud of sand would float up, subsiding momentarily to reveal what Gabriel looked like now. He stood in what looked to be a pitch black body suit, eight coffins hovering behind him in a semi circle, the blade now in his left hand, pointing up. A loincloth hung from his waist down to his ankles, cut up the sides to allow for free movement. His mask fragment would form a set of jaws that covered were his face was, slightly open. The moment after he released his ressureccion, his coffins would shoot out in all directions, placing themselves fifty meters around them, suspended in the air. They would emit darkness within the area they surrounded, creating a sphere of darkness that would rob the other of his sight. On top of that he would be robbed of his ability to sense the Primera, completely engulfed in the darkness.

This was Gabriel's ressureccion, one that robbed the sense and sight of the opponent. It was truly a terrifying ressureccion, one that had killed countless people in the past. He showed it to the individual before him so that he may know why he is known as the Primera Espada. It didn't matter what happened, or what the other did, he was in Gabriel's domain now, and there wouldn't be much to do other than swing and hope to hit, or fire cero's and hope to hit. With that he would simply wait, watching his prey to see how he might react to loss of these things so suddenly. This was one of the best parts, seeing how they reacted to having their precious senses taken from them by force, with nothing more to do than struggle and hope to whatever they believed in that they could survive long enough to get out.

Eiji would sigh as he would miss his hit once more but he didn’t have much time to breath, for in the instant he would let out a the breath of air a cero would be fired at him… He would have to think swiftly for he knew he was nearly at his limit for high speeds moves but luckily for him he was in his ressureccion. With this he would have a slight advantage even if he were to become tired for he was able to use a giant burst of air that shot him over the cero just in time, though he thought this was quite cheap and would rather not have used it he would prefer to use that than another high speed move at this point. However, in the moment he would move he would feel the massive burst of reiatsu and would know what was coming next…

Moreover, before the man could even begin to look down he would be engulfed in the darkness that was spewed from the coffins that once surrounded Gabriel’s body. It would all happen in an instant first his loss of sight and then he would feel something else gone his ability to sense reiatsu…. This would prove to be rather problematic his main to senses of sight were gone though he had his other onces these were the ones that many were used to using, however it would be fine with Eiji this would only happen because before he had a humanoid form he used to only use his reiatsu waves and other senses for his sight for truly he lived underground. It was rather amazing to him that he wouldn’t be bothered by this sudden change but Gabriel wouldn’t know of this and he would try using it to his advantage.

Though he truly was walking in the dark he would use his senses to attack and defend with his wind being the base of everyone move he would make. The dome that was surrounding them could be estimated to be rather large for he could hear the echoing of his wind for days, with this he at least knew that they would still have a sizable battlefield to finish their training on. He would nearly silence his breath in anticipation of what was to come, he would not move a muscle and have his eyes closed for truly they would be of no use to him anymore, he would instead stand eyes closed at the ready slowly inhaling and exhaling waiting for the important first move. It would be nearly impossible for the other man to do any of the primary attacking now in these conditions he was not amazed rather with his loss of sight completely but how swiftly this man was able to change the course of battle even further in his favor. It excited him with the thoughts of what he would be able to do if he ever reached this man’s level or at least close to it…

Gabriel stood there staring the other down within his darkness, charging a cero in his free hand. This however was a vastly more powerful cero, the cero oscuros. This alone would decimate the chances of victory for the opponent, but the charging of reiatsu in the coffin directly in front of the other would also prove problematic. Although the other wouldn't have any idea that this was going on, for the true nature of his darkness was that it was imbued with his reiatsu. That was the reason people lost their sense of him, or rather found it incredibly difficult to find him if their reiatsu control was on par with his. Anybody with reiatsu weaker than him would be completely lost, feeling that he would be everywhere at once, which was why he wasn't worried about moving around, the other wouldn't be able to tell that he was. In essence this was his way of toying with his prey, and as he continued to charge the cero oscuros, the Primera couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the head of the man.

This was the game changer for him, the deciding factor to their little tit for tat sparing, and the main change to how he would strike the man. With no worry of being seen or felt, the man could move about as he wished, striking when he wanted, where he wanted, and how hard he wanted. The fraccion before him was truly his prey now, and there wasn't anything he would do to change that fact, for his prey was the one thing he wanted in this moment. He got a kick out of the rush he got when trapping people within his darkness, picking apart their defenses and striking the most delicate of area's. It was in these moments that he would let his true self free, in the darkness where they could not see what kind of monster he truly was, the beast within a man who wanted nothing more than to rip everything to bits at his feet. There was nothing but primal instinct in him as of now, and the grip that tightened ever so slightly on his zanpakuto would be a sign that he was enjoying himself. There was a part of him that wanted to relentlessly strike at the man, but the wind would prove to be problematic for that, so he would be forced to strike with things of a reiatsu based nature.

He had always been a man who hid within the shadows, striking down anything and everything that fell into his territory without hesitation. Nothing was free from his almost demonic assault, anything with a pulse would be eaten alive in the moment it could no longer struggle for life. Mercy was an unknown concept to him, and any who tried to teach it to him were either slaughtered or beaten half to death for trying. Nobody would change the way he was, not a single soul or a thousand would be able to make him do anything other than what his instincts told him to do. That alone was one of the reasons he was seldom seen with anybody other than his fraccion unless needed for something, he was a recluse of a man, never speaking to others unless he had something to gain from them or he was bored to the point of no return. A true creature of the shadows, hunting in his darkness all alone with nothing but the world to see him.
