Let's go! Practice fight!

The White Sand Desert. The horrible, dominating landscape of Hueco Mundo.
There was sand as far as the eye could see. Black, onix tree branches rising out of the ground.
A dark, black sky overheading the landscape.

Zeno looked around. He didn't see or sense any Hollows nearby.
He took a deep breath and unsheathed his Zanpakutõ.
After Zeno had swung it around a couple of times he felt a spiritual pressure approaching him.
He stared at the horizon, his hair and haori waving along with the wind, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

So as fate would have it Nashihiko was once again plagued by the Vizard's and their unholy union between hollow and Shinigami. As he walked slowly though the endless sands of the Great White Desert, Nashihiko simply walked with a slowly stride. The pressure in the air was high. The reishi in the air was high. The blood-lust in the air was high.It would seem today would be a great day to die.

As he spotted his target, the Vizard leader, Nashihiko preformed a less then average flash step to close the distance, appearing behind with his eyes half closed. The cold stare in his eyes flashing with a sense of nobility, and anger.Yet still he did not speak, simply watching his enemy as his extremely low reaitsu stayed controlled, and monitored.

He would allow his enemy the first strike.

Zeno watched his opponent's moves closely. Analysing them to the tiniest detail.
There was no need for words. He looked straight into Nashihiko's eyes, without showing any emotions, and then he disappeared in a blur.
Zeno reappeared right in front of Nashihiko, faked an attack and jumped in the air.
While flying right over Nashihiko, Zeno made a backflip. When his body was turned upside down during the backflip he attempted a strike. His blade was going straight for Nashihiko's head.

As his opponent made his move Nashihiko's eyes watched his every step. As he appeared before him Nashihiko stepped back with his left leg, and slightly turn his right shoulder. Now in his defensive stance Nashihiko simply saw through the faked attacked, and watched his enemy go airborne.

As he swung his sword the 2nd Division Captain ducked down to the ground, using his small size to dodge the blade before preforming a back flip as his foot traveled through the ground the Captain would begin reaching for his sword. Ready for a counterattack if this back flip kick to the man's face failed.

Zeno watched his blade miss Nashihiko's head.
He was still airborn as he saw Nashihiko's foot flying towards his head.
He was able to block the foot with his left hand.
Didn't expect him to do that... Zeno thought to himself.
He quickly grabbed Nashihiko's leg. When Zeno landed on his feet,
he swung Nashihiko's leg downward intending to slam Nashihiko against the ground.

As his foot was grabbed Nashihiko found himself in the position to be thrown or slammed. Drawing his sword the moment his enemy to hold of his foot Nashihiko readied himself for whatever it was this guy would do.

As his enemy landed on the ground before him, Nashihiko still being airborne now having twisted his body slightly to the left, He tried to slam Nashihiko into the ground. yet as he was Captain of the 2nd Division and a very agile fighter Nashihiko simply used his sword to stab into the ground down to the hilt, and then switch to his left hand, lifting his right form the sword, and finishing the twist of his waist. Combining this movement with a small kick to the mans hand Nashihiko became free as the full force of the throw was absorbed by his zanpakuto. Spinning and whipping his feet behind him Nashihiko looked directly up at the an before switching to his left hand and bringing his legs back around.

With less then a few seconds having past sense they landed on the ground Nashihiko pushed off of his zanpakuto and tried for a double kick to the mans chest. Using both feet would add to the power behind the kick. In the mean while he began focusing his energy for a kido, should he need to retrieve his zanpakuto.

When his opponent was able to release himself from Zeno's grip before getting slammed to the ground, Zeno was pushed back a bit and put out of balance. Right after he regained his balance two feet hit his chest and he was blown backward.
2nd Division Captain... Of course... Zeno thought to himself as he made a backflip and placed his feet onto the ground. He slowly stopped moving backward and stood up straight.
They were now standing about 65 feet away from each other.
"So you're the 2nd Division Captain eh?" Zeno asked calmly.

Using the reishi in the air Nashihiko made a plane of existence for himself to push off of, spinning and twirling before landing next to his zanpakuto. As his enemy regained his footing Nashihiko only drew his sword from the ground and pointing it at him, letting him know he would be using his sword as of now. His question, which was directed at whether or not he was the 2nd Division Captain, was obviously answered by the symbol on his Captain's hoari.

Lowering his sword, pointing it to the ground as he lined his right leg behind it, and spread his left leg back so it too was lined up. With his right shoulder facing his enemy Nashihiko desired that getting question could serve him well. Even if he had to fight him under orders. With his same apathetic expression Nashihiko opened his mouth and very bluntly said to the man:

"What gave me away? The symbol on my back or is your stupidity as powerful as your Ignorance, Vizard."

"No actually. You haven't shown me your back yet in a way I could see the symbol.
If you had, I would've killed you already. It's your agility that gave you away." Zeno replied as he took a better grip on his Zanpakutõ.
"Hmm.. I'm wondering if the current Captains are of the same strength as the ones 115 years ago." Zeno said as he took a few steps forward. His hair and Vizard Haori waving in the wind.

"Why don't we take this up to a higher level? I'm curious for your Shikai." Zeno spoke. He couldn't supress a small grin.

"115 years ago and judging by your style I would suspect the 11th or 8th Divisions. You've got some brute strength to your strikes honed from years of fighting and experience. Meaning I could probable guess correctly if I said you were once if not Captain of the 11th squad."

Sighing heavily Nashihiko simply tossed his sword into the air towards his enemy. As it flicked through the air Nashihiko would preform another average shunpo to appear directly in it's path. Catching it before beginning a furious swirl of spins. As he closed in on his enemy before use a burst of reishi to stall himself mid air. Using the momentum and force be had channeled into his arm before swinging it straight down. His maneuver taking no less then 5 or 6 seconds. With the fore behind this swing the white sands around them would easily begin to swirl as a crater would form.

Ooc: I don't really understand that move. It's pretty confusing... Is he now swinging his sword down onto Zeno or is it just a shot of air pressure or something? I don't get it.

Basically he jumped into the air and began twirling himself around and around adding force, and momentum to his strike before using a burst of reaitsu to slow his decent, but not taking away from the strength of his downward diagonally slash he;s trying to deliver to you via Fedex.

Zeno slammed his sword against Nashihiko's with all of his power.
The clash of the two swords created a huge shockwave.
Zeno's spiritual pressure began to rise as he started pushing Nashihiko's blade backward.
I wonder how long I can keep holding back... He thought to himself as his calm, blue eyes stared into the eyes of his opponent. A focused expression appeared on his face.
Suddenly Zeno unleashed a burst of spiritual energy. He pushed his opponent's blade downward, jumped up in the air, twisted his waist and followed it up with a spinning kick that was going straight for Nashihiko's face.

Taken by surprise from his enemies counterattack Nashihiko found himself still airborne, yet stalled as their blades clashes. before long his enemy overpowered him and he was thrown off balance. Falling to the ground Nashihiko's back was to the man, his 2nd Division symbol clear as day as he used his left wrist to block the kick, even tho it sent him flying into the sand desert.

Sliding to a stop Nashihiko coughed a few times from the dust in his lungs before struggling to stand to his feet. His breathing heavy as his chest expanded up and down. His eyes still that silvery-grayish color that seemed to only given any situation the cold shoulder.

Zeno didn't wait a second. He rushed forward, disappeared a few feet away from Nashihiko and reappeared above his opponent. As he was falling down he slashed his sword downward, again aiming for the head.

Keeping his eyes on his enemy Nashihiko flared his reaitsu with a quick and almost silent burst. The increase in power not showing in just his eyes but his body as well. As his enemy came for a downward chop Nashihiko Turned while staring at his enemy died in his eyes. Then, still during his turn and even before the slash was made, Nashihiko was gone. Only a half second later, his enemy cutting through clean air, Nashihiko appeared behind him airborne only a few feet from his head which his sword drawn Nashihiko came across with a long horizontal slash, looking to slash the man across his back. Using his enemies positioning, while taking into account his higher mobilty skills, Nashihiko believed boosting his own power was the best thing to do. Hoping he could at least cut his enemy a little.

Zeno felt a blade cut open his back. Blood flew out of the wound. He made a couple of steps forward, straightened his back, stretched it a bit and smiled.
Moments like these made him realize how much he loved fighting.
"Impressive. This clearly is a sign I should stop holding back." He said
as his Spiritual Pressure started increasing rapidly.
"Back in the academy, I never did better than average... Until I gained Shikai..
You'll soon see why..." Zeno continued as his Spiritual Pressure burst out and a huge shockwave was unleashed.
"Erupt... Akuma." He said calmly and his blade started to transform into an arrrow-shaped pentagon. The pentagon had no blade, the whole thing was a metal hilt.
Then, blue energy erupted from the top side of the pentagon. The way Zeno held it, it looked like a reishi blade.
A second later, Zeno disappeared in a blur. He reappeared behind Nashihiko's back and attempted to redo him the favor by cutting him across the back.

Landing on the ground Nashihiko took up his stance and watched his enemy look at his wounds before speaking to him about not holding back. Rising his sword to his face, the blade pointed straight up in line with his nose. Expanding his power once again Nashihiko unleash half it as he told his sword to "Illuminate..."

When his enemy unreleased his own Shikai and appeared behind him Nashihiko turned along with him, and swing his sword in a horizontal path blocking as the light that consumed his sword during it's swing died down and formed a sword. Nashihiko only staring into the eyes of his enemy as his zanpakuto revealed itself. "Kyutensasu!" The swords was easily noticed as a rapier of some kind. The guard with protected his hand was segmented int three and extend till it could cover the end of his wrist. The handle extended about 7 inchs connected to the hilt which was in a wing shape with a metallic leaf wrapped around it and connected to the rounded guard.

Holding fast Nashihiko knew he couldn't win a power fight with this man, but this gave him time to study his zanpakuto as his still held a secret. Nevertheless he began charging up a attack if need be. "So Akuma you say? An interesting name for a not so interestingly shape Zanpakuto. But I see you can use it like a sword. You would have been wise to reveal that to me later on." Trying to forcing his enemy back with his physical strength Nashihiko looked to call his enemy into attacking. He needed to know what the shape was meant for and if all it could do is wield reishi as a weapon.

Zeno started laughing a bit."Not so interesting eh? You might be right. Maybe it's nothing more than a reishi blade. He said with an enormous grin on his face.
He pushed his enemy backward to create some space in between them.
Strange Zanpakutõ... I wonder what it can do... Zeno thought to himself.
After he had created some space he was able to dash forward a bit and attack with more strength and speed. He slammed his reishi blade against his opponent's sword.

Jumping back after being slightly overpowered Nashihiko slid to a stop before pushing off, dashing through the thick sand which was, in a way, slightly slowing him down. Thinking about how he could use this to his advantage Nashihiko preformed a butterfly kick as the Vizard shot forward. Kicking up a whirl of sand Nashihiko looked to blind him only seconds before he swung and Nashihiko preformed a flash step, using the sand to hide his movements, along with others things.

Now behind his enemy Nashihiko used the reishi in the air to use as a platform and spun twice around while preforming a roundhouse. Only seconds after his dust whirl came upward into the face of his enemy Nashihiko would deliver a spinning roundhouse that could hopefully send him flying back into a weird tree some 30 yards away.

Zeno started to see through his enemy's strategy. He always had to expect the unexpected.
As the sand flew upward, he ducked. He quickly took a few steps forward as he turned 180° degrees. The sand flew above his head. He got up, saw Nashihiko appear in front of him and attempt a skilled roundhouse kick. He caught the kick with his left hand and powerfully sliced downward with his sword onto his adversary's leg before he hit the ground.

Watching his leg get grabbed Nashihiko stabbed his sword itno and ground and kicked his right foot forward, releasing his foot as the sword barely cut his left calf. Grabbing hold of his sword Nashihiko threw himself back another 45 yards where he landed and stopped. Blood dripping down his left leg as he simply stared at his enemy. "Interesting." Pointing his sword at his enemy Nashihiko called out "Shine, Kyutensasu!" and watched his sword's blade get replaced with one made of light. Continuing to charge his attack Nashihiko only needed to wait a bit longer.

So that's its true form... A light Zanpakutõ.
Time to show him some power.
He used shunpo to appear right in front of Nashihiko.
He thrust his sword forward as if he wanted to stab Nashihiko, but the the reishi blade disappeared. Zeno pointed Akuma horizontally at Nashihiko. This all happened in 2 seconds.
"Koujo no Akuma." He spoke calmly. An arrow-shaped burst of energy was unleashed from the Zanpakutõ. It didn't even take a second to cross the distance of 1 meter in between the Zanpakutõ and Nashihiko.

Watching his enemy Nashihiko prepared himself for a retreat yet before he swing his sword out four times. Light swords smashed into the ground within 2 meters of his current position. When Zeno appeared in from of him with a shunpo Nashihiko retreated another 30 yards. Pointing his blade at him Nashihiko called forth "Shiro Ikazuchi!" the light blast firing out and colliding with Zeno's own attack. The resulting explosion kicking up a fair amount of sand and smoke.

Pointing his sword into the now dust stormed battle field Nashihiko called out "Shiro Seichuu!!" The light swords, which were beginning to fade, connected. From there tips light energy shot out between them till a cube formation was made on the ground within the dust cloud and Nashihiko's last position. Lifting his sword the light shot into the sky and formed a box. Due to the nature of how the swords were positioned the box would covered a 40 yards wide area and extend only 20 yards in the sky.

Nashihiko played his cards right. His first attack was used to block the incoming blast while also creating cover so Zeno wouldn't see the swords connecting. Then finishing the attack the box was formed and everything inside would receive a massive surge of energy, almost like being shocked. Still nashihiko keep his calm and cool persona and only watched and waited to see if it worked.

Ooc: Stop time travelling dude, it's stupid. Zaf agrees with me.

Apparently, Nashihiko didn't realize Zeno had followed the path of his Koujo no Akuma with Shunpo and used it to get behind Nashihiko's back unseen. As the could of dust disappeared, an empty box was revealed.

"Impressive move.." Zeno said calmly as he stood back to back with Nashihiko. The reishi blade was unleashed again. The opposite side of the side from which the energy was unleashed was held against Nashihiko's back.
Then, Zeno switched the side from which the energy was unleashed to the opposite side. So it would pierce his opponent's back.
