Kyoraku VS Ken and the Lava Boy

*Due to kyoraku's 'abilities' that made everyone who was in the range of his spiritual pressure abide by his laws he needed to move far away from his comrades or else this could prove dangerous. So, he was already gone out of the way of all the spontaneous chaos by the time Ken finished his little greenery show. He waited for his opponents to show, his powers were good at dealing with crowds so he wasn't worried, but...*

"I wish I didn't have to fight against two people..."

*He said regrettably... two rude people at that. The one with the plants seemed awfully smug. Kyoraku liked well mannered fights, it seemed that honor was taboo in the ninja world*

((Dang don't even get a name in the topic harsh))

-|Rokku with his Seismic Eye eye activate would notice the shift in location from everyone and would look down at Shunsui and over at the other person who was brought along. Rokku would sigh as it looked as if he would have to fight after all and a captain no less. Although Rokku would a least have someone to help him deal with him and the other person seemed very strong. Rokku decided to start things off just to see if he could see what Shunsui could do. Rokku would point his zanpakutou toward Shunsui and a large amount of Spiritual Pressure would begin to gather in his hand and flow into the blade. After a moment from Rokku's zanpakutou would release a large blast of spherical, red energy which would rocket toward Shunsui taking the appearance of a large meteor. Rokku would meanwhile flash step over to Ken's location keeping his guard up while moving.|-

"Yo I'm on your side so don't kill me."

-|Rokku would say this while signing causing a wave of earth spikes to shoot up from the ground around Shunsui while the blast spiritual energy closed in on him. Although Rokku was not really expecting to do any damage but just simply keep him busy while Rokku switched location and also so Rokku could see if he could get an understanding of what Shunsui could do.|-

*Kyoraku sighed, as he jumped off the ground avoiding the spherical blast of energy and landing down safely on one of the earth spikes. Neither technique seemed to harm him at all. He kept his right hand on his hat as he tilted it upwards*

"Shikai abilities already? Let's just take it slow now... We have all day to fight."

*He said, drawing out one of his Zanpakuto blades. He slashed downard severing all the earth spikes in that one slash of power letting him land safely on the ground. Kyoraku fixed his hat and flowery cloak.*

*Ken would scratch his head as he observed Kyoraku. He didn't even wonder how he was warped to a new destination, he simply observed the spiritual pressure of the individual standing before him..it was massive. *

"Figures..I'd get the really really strong one."

*His eyes followed the movements of the individual as he evaded the attacks from another comrade of Ken's. Ken placed his hand over his eyes as the spiritual pressure of the guy was killer, making him squint. However, something that caught Ken's attention, other than his aura and scent of non-violence, was his jacket. Ken was a non-violence man himself, and the guys overall demeanor soothed him to a point of pacifness even more.*

"You're jacket...I love your taste."

*He spoke rather calmly, despite the situation they were in.*

*Kyoraku turned to Ken admiring his change of attitude, he was the one with the vines which subsequently maned he had control of flowers as well. Kyoraku nodded and continued with his conversation*

"Thank you, your powers are very amazing as well. Turning a building into vines! I'm jealous..."

*Kyoraku then sighed, before talking*

"So, do we really have to fight? I mean... the big battle is coming up after this one."

-|Hearing Kyoraku statement would cause Rokku to relax a little lowering the energy surging around his zanpakutou down to non-hostile levels. In all honesty Rokku only attacked him to see if this scent of non-violence was just a cover which would be discarded after being attacked since Rokku has has issue with things like than before. But it looked as if Rokku was wrong and Kyoraku was a non-violent and reasonable person unlike the other two shinigami that where with him moments ago.|-

"Well Captain Kyoraku if you are not planing fight unless attacked then I have no reason to attack you so we really don't have to fight. Also the name is Rokku."

*Kens brow would raise to the statement.*

"Big battle? What do you mean?"

*Kyoraku laughed, and continued to talk*

"Unfortunately I'm still on the enemy side, so I can't reveal all that to you right now."

*Kyoraku ended his sentence immediately, and looked down at his second sheathed sword... the one with the attitude that forced him to abide by her powers. He sighed as he took her out, it seems that she wanted to play*

"Agh, my Zanpakuto wants to fight, I shouldn't have brought her along... and if I don't abide by her rules of her games then we will all die."

*With the end of his sentence, he appeared in front or Rokku with his blades crossed around his neck with amazing speed and power, after he appeared there was a sonic boom behind him. His shikai was active. He was going to kill him now with the speed he was moving at Ken was still relaxed facing forward*

((Okay give this a try without going over rank. If there are any problems just hit me up on the inbox.))

-|As soon as Rokku herd Kyoraku state that his zanpakuto wants to fight Rokku's spiritual pressure would quickly rise back in and instant before Kyoraku could finish his sentence causing the area around Rokku would become super heated. Although Rokku would be shocked as Kyoraku would be right in front of him both his blade drawn and activated into shikai. Even though Rokku could see the attack coming via his Seismic Eye which felt Kyoraku move toward him after he stepped off the ground but the speed was amazingly fast. Unable to move himself or any part of his body in time to dodge or evade with not even a second left Rokku would once again add more of his spiritual pressure causing his body and the area around him to super heat and as thes blade would begin to cut Rokku the would be a large explosion which would create some distance between Rokku and Kyoraku sending Rokku creating fare away and deep under ground. The explosion was cause via all of the dynamite that Rokku has a habit of keeping hidden in his clothes which would detonate with the massive heat create by Rokku's spiritual pressure. Although Rokku avoided begin killed Rokku would have a very bad and deep X shaped cut coming down from the side of his neck to the center of his chest from not being able to completely avoid the attack since Kyoraku was just to fast to full avoid the attack. Rokku was one still alive and two the explosion helped burn his wounds somewhat closed so he would not bleed to death. While still deep under ground Rokku would quickly do a set of hand signs in no less then a second and would enter his Flare Mode which would cause his body to glow for a moment before his skin would harden into molten rock and his body would become covered in fire. This would cause Rokku to transform into a silicon/magma-based lifeforme which would melt though the ground and would cause Rokku to sink deeper underground. Rokku would the move around under ground melting though the ground with out any problem. From under Kyoraku would then erupt a large claw of magma which would try to slash him although unlike the magma from before this magma was 10x hotter and faster. Rokku would continue to stay deep underground with his Zanpakuto now burning with fire while Rokku would keep eye on the whole area via his Seismic Eye.|-

((That was a perfectly fine actually, a beautiful post))

-Kyoraku was surprised that Rokku stayed strapped with dynamite but he made a severe mistake being underground. Once he engaged his shikai ability he would soon know why. The explosion sent Kyoraku flying back but with the release of his shikai, like all shinigami came a release of spiritual pressure that was enough to combat the grand explosion counter, his flowery cloak was lightly singed though, the explosion pushed him back far enough to dodge whatever attack rokku sent his way.-

"Okay, now we'll get serious Katen Kyōkotsu... Takaoni"

-With the utterance of the word 'takaoni' kyoraku initiated his shikai ability since he was above rokku he 'won the game' he appeared to rokkus position because he won the game with his blades to his back. His spiritual pressure repelled the magma from harming him and the heat and such and because he won the game he was granted a SUPER SUPER fast slash at Rokku's neck which would kill him. Kyorakus spiritual pressure was so high that it could repel any affects that rokku had-

(I could not find this post for nothing..)

"Soul Menace.."

*Kyoraku's overlooking of Kens position, and his fixation on Rokku allowed Ken to slip by and protect Rokku. He appeared directly above Rokku, via DNA Warping and in-between Kyoraku. He would have his palm extend, soul energy emitting from it in the form of a electic orb. It's size was about that of a basket ball resembling a rasengan sorta. Around the orb were blazing sparks of rain flame. Ken was again utilizing the smart palm technique, which allowed him to plow through Mahk-x spiritual pressure when it was fully unleashed. He attempted to blow Kyoraku away with a mountain crushing force dirctly to the soul. Ands with the rain flame deteriorating all defenses and weakening his spiritual pressure rapidly, Kens attempt at saving Rokku should prove most effective.*

-|Rokku would look in shock as he was saved from almost being beheaded by Ken, but Rokku would instanly snap back to normal and add in his own power to Ken's attack. As Ken unleashed his attack Rokku would clench his fist causing the earth around Kyoraku to instanly close completely reducing his movements to nothing making it hard to avoid Ken's devistanting attack. Also being deep underground by having all way back up closed off unable to move though rock like Rokku and Ken Kyoraku would be in a hard poition. Also unknown Kyoraku if hit and sent flying in any direction would send him into earth chambers created by Rokku in and instant full of not rock but steel spike which where create via creating normal earth spikes and the crushing them with a large amount of fire pressure. Rokku would also seem to begin to mumble something to himself but it could not be hear by anyone although Ken and Kyoraku where so close.*

((Thanks for the post edit Ken))

-Kyoraku smirked as another trap was set in place... all he had to do was mutter words and these two would be as good as gone, he figured ninja were a lot more observant than this. But he was let down. As ken's attacks were neared and his movements were restricted he murmured-

"Kageoni..."

-Since they were in a reasonably dark place and their shadows were connected and Kyoraku changed the game to 'shadow demon' meaning anyone who stepped on each others shadows were instantly penetrated by blades Ken and Rokku would suffer shadow blade stabs to the torso in critical wounding places wherever they may be. the blades numbered in the hundreds and these shadow blades can pierce through an arrancars skin which is harder than diamond so rokkus lil rock armor was shit compared to this. Kyoraku, since he knew the rules of the game can manipulate shadows to his will, so he melded in with the darkness surrounding him and appeared in the shadow of a tree above the ground. He waited for his foes to surface, he figured they werent going to since they were in such close proximity and the blades were instantaneous as the words were muttered. If either of them survived and asked what his powers did he was obligated to tell them, he too had to abide by his zanpakutos rules or died. But they had to ask...-

*There wasn't much Ken could do against the strike except for take it full on. Luckily however, cuts and slashes, no matter how brutal, are the very very least of Ken's worries. However, he wasn't sure about what would become of Rokku, since his body was not the same as Ken's. Ken thought swiftly snd on his toes, pondering how to get him and Rokku out of harms way. Idea's dipped around in his noggin until he thought of a way out. Things were always more difficult when fighting along side of someone. As the shadow attack ensued, Ken would get gashed and nashed by the shadow blades, which really wouldn't bother him, he couldn't say much for Rokku however. He then preceded to rematerializing both of there molecules above ground.

Ken's wounds would have been fully healed by then(his clothes however forever scarred), as he successfully got Rokku out of the way before any fatal damage was done. He hoped Rokku could heal from his injuries but if he couldn't, Ken had no time to save him. *

"Why do soul reapers always speak under here breath.? If you want to say something speak up."

*Ken said peforming handsigns, causing the area to begin to emit this lovely aroma. It was feint but it was that of a cherry blossom. The smell was intoxicating....literaly.*

-|Rokku would be standing holding his sides after being brought up to the surface thanks to Ken. Rokku would have a large amount of cuts and a few gashes around his arms, legs, and torso from some of the blades that were able to get to him before he escaped. Although thanks to his Flare Mode which made him a silicon/magma-based lifeforme instead of bleeding right now all that was coming out of these wounds would be lava which would burn some of the wounds shut while others would still drip with lava which was at the moment blood to Rokku meaning he could not lose too much. Rokku would dig up a large amount of rocks and would push it on some of the larger wounds that would not close. The rock would be heated and would turn into lava which would cover the wounds before hardening into molten rock acting as bandage. Rokku would look toward Kyoraku while breathing heavily showing this form in mix with all this fighting was using a large amount of Rokku's energy.|-

"Man what is up with your zanpakutou it seems to not have a consistent type of abilities?"

-Kyoraku sighed as he looked at his Zanpakuto's, then at Ken... it seemed that he had a regenerative ability similar to that of a hollows. Cuts and slashes weren't going to work against him. He had to kill him all at once, he had the perfect ability for that, the color game. But not now.. he had to explain the abilities of his Zanpakuto, which he hated doing because his opponents could use his abilities against him. His reiatsu was condensed around his body preventing most harmful substances and things from getting to him, it wasnt too large it was 3 feet in diameter-

"My my... I was hoping to get rid of you two before I had to explain my Zanpakuto. My Zanpakuto has the power to make child games real If you loose you die, and you are forced to play the games that I switch too. Kageoni, whoever steps on a shadow looses, Takaoni, who ever his higher up wins, Bushogona, the spinning top game, and lastly Irooni. I cant tell you those rules yet. And of course there is my Bankai which I hate using because it makes me go all out."

-Kyoraku sighed again they were still playing Kageoni, so blades would stab rokku and ken in their backs and heads because they were standing on their shadows... poor guys. Kyoraku on the other hand would slowly rise into the sky. Since ninja cant fly takaoni gave him the supreme advantage. Hopefully he wouldnt have to use irooni. That was his least favorite game. He began to talk after the blade stabbed his unobservant foes-

"Takoni..."
-Changing the game once again, and since he already won this game, he planned on beheading Ken. Hopefully that would be the one thing he could regenerate-

(So you tried to cut my head off?)

*The shadow blades would pierce directly through Ken, however his regeneration powers were so advanced, wounds wouldn't even formed. He finished his handsigns as billions of pollom spores formed in the air. He of course intended to infect him with the aroma but he could see that his reitsu was preventing such. He however had other plans. He set all the spores around them all ablaze with the rain flame. This would no doubt cause Kyoraku's reistu to badly weaken, along with slowing his movements and weakening his strikes just as drastically. Ken summoned his soul weapon Jean in her weapon forms (twin pistols). He began to fire multiple shots at him, his bullets moving at deadly speeds. And with his reistu, speed, and overall attributes weakened and slowed this just might make this a little easier.

What he may not have noticed was the tree behind him. From the tree formed multiple clones of Ken. They all began to do handsigns, some of which caused various things underground to move about. Other fired synthesis blasts at his blind side. Hopefully the rain flame pollon would soon enough slow him down and weaken him to a point of paralyzation. However, Ken didn't want to go all out yet. Not until all hope was lost.*

-|As the blade moved toward the back of Rokku's head from his feet would release a large wave of fire which would push him up in the air causing the blade to hit him into the torso rather then the head. After hearing about and seeing the Kageoni ability Rokku would have already synced his Seismic Eye to the area and the vibrations the blades made when they came from the shadows. This combination was able to allow Rokku to see the blade coming toward the back of his head and was able to react to it. While Rokku was stabbed in torso his Flare Mode which made him a silicon/magma-based lifeforme lacking a good amount of blood and organs which allowed him to be unaffected by it and also since Rokku was now off the ground he would not have to worry about the abilities of Kageoni. Rokku knowing the ability of Takaoni would continue to release fire from his feet staying on level with Kyoraku and even trying to move higher in the air then him to take control over this game as he called it. Rokku would then hold his Zanpakuto forward as hit would surge with spiritual pressure.|-

"Fire that burns and char the heaven above, Earths that crack and rumbles the earth bellow as done intertwine into one Kazan Ouch"

-|Rokku's Zanpakuto would begin to glow and would then transform into a pair of Nunchaku that would then burn with fire. Rokku would then begin to spin the nunchaku as the would begin to surge with a large amount of fire as earth would shoot from the ground and surge around with the fire creating a large ring of lava. (note this is all being done in an instant.)|-

"Kazanhan (Volcano Seal)"

-|The lava ring would become covered with spiritual pressure and would grow and would then rocket toward Kyoraku. The lava would then begin to expanded into large fist of lava that would rocket toward Kyoraku in a downward motion trying to push him down to the ground.|-

((No, I think you texted me on the subject matter already though))

-Okie dokes, firstly in order for the rain flame to slow your movements it would have to touch you so the only thing the rain flame was affecting was Kyoraku's spiritual pressure which would indeed cause it to weaken however, Kyorakus pressure can be felt from hundreds of miles away, he was one of the strongest captains and if you take all that spiritual energy and compress it?! Weakening it that much will take a nice lomg while. Secondly Kyoraku already won Takaoni the moment he said it so Rokku's ascent just made him closer to his beheading, and feeling the vibrations of shadows is impossible since they have no mass unless your a shadow user. Now we can begin the actual fighting and stuff. Kyoraku because he won Takaoni knew that his speed was too fast for Rokku, he was toast, he appeared behind him hopefully cutting his head off in one fluid motion both with the increased speed of shunpo and takaoni making him move at a speed that makes sonic jealous (lol). With that motion he dodged the magma fist and the shots out of the pistols from Ken, his spiritual pressure forced away anything that attempted to harm him from the environment he was a highly perceptive combatant and could tell that there were various things that were trying to permeate his spiritual pressure. So he swung his blades around in a cutting motion and said-

"Bushogona..."

-This spinning top game manipulates wind in a highly concussive blast with enough force to make even kenpachi stagger, but it wasnt aimed at anything in particular it hopefully swept all the pollen and such away from our battle, if not... whatever. He looked at Ken who was wearing mostly black... the color game would probably fuck him up if he decided to use it. The good thing about the color game, is that it made both combatants take turns in hitting the foe which would severely limit the use of Kens abilities. If he didnt abide by the rules he would die. But Kyoraku would use that later.-

*Ken had no time to lend a helping hand out to Rokku. Kyoraku was moving far to fast for ken to react to it, and Ken was sorry. Afterwards Ken was struck with an intense and staggering wind. It effortlessly blew the pollon away, however they had already served there purpose. Ken wanted to see if the DWF effected them at all, and it seemed as if they effected him enough for him to do away with them so swiftly. Ken would no doubt be swept right along as well had the wind had been targeting him. He performed a handsign as his hand was ablaze with the rain flame.*

"Enough of this.."

*Ken rooted himself to the ground. Something he did whenever he used a devestating jutsu. He began to channel all of the natural energy in the area into himself, bringing only devestating thoughts to mind.*

((Sorry for the wait had to get somethings approved by Zeik))

-|As the blade was about to behead Rokku there would be a glow of some strange type of energy. Although Rokku would not show any signs of reacting meaning this was not something Rokku was doing on his own. The energy would take the appearance of some mask like object but this would only be seen only for a nano-second as it would shatter blocking the blade from beheading Rokku. Although the mask like object stopped the blade from beheading Rokku the force of the attack would send Rokku flying off in some random direction crashing into the ground with a large amount of force. Rokku would un-earth from the ground and would be stunned for a moment not only from the attack but from what ever just blocked the attack from killing him. Rokku would then turn toward Shunsui and would then take a deep breath and would punch the ground causing a large amount of lava to cover Rokku and would rise high into the air creating a mini volcano which would release a large wave of lave that would rocket toward Shunsui. Although this attack was more of a distraction so Ken could finish his attack which should be very powerful and affective. Rokku meanwhile could not be seen being hidden in the volcano which would flowing with spiritual pressure which would keep his location unknown at the moment.|-

((You guys are really giving me a run for my money...))

-Kyoraku turned in the general direction of Rokku, he used a vizard mask which means he was the one he had to capture which would be simple since he has them separated but he didn't know if he could take out Ken and capture Rokku. He needed to prioritize. Maybe... yeah that could work. He stayed in the air which seemed to be the safest place at the moment-

"Kageoni..."

-He changed the game, melding into the shadows once more avoiding the projectiles that came his way, obviously Rokku was in that direction and while playing Kageoni he knew here pretty much everyone was due to shadow. Now, of course this wouldnt work, but Ken was rooted to the ground so naturally shadow blades would erupt and hopefully pierce him. Kyoraku in the shadows headed towards the overflowing with spiritual pressure.-

-|With his Seismic Eye Rokku would notice Kyoraku vibrations disappearing from view around the area meaning he was most likely inside a shadow at the moment out of site from Rokku's eyes. Even though Rokku could not tell if Kyoraku was really in a shadow or had just left the area Rokku was not going to take any chances. The ground all around the general area of the volcano would glow lightly with energy.|-

"Bakudō 62 Hyapporankan!!!!"

-|Suddenly form the ground would erupt multiple rods formed of energy that would shoot high into the air like rockets. However the rods would then glow and would disintegrate into numerous short rods which would rain down the volcano's general area like a rain storm. These rods would stab into the ground trying to pin the shadow Kyoraku might be in and overall reduce his movements around the area. These rods where able to go though a person simply pinning them via spiritual pressure so Rokku hoped these rods would connect with Kyoraku spiritual pressure and pin him in place. The volcano would also begin to release multiple lava balls which would hit the ground around the surrounding area trying to split Kyoraku attention form avoiding the rods and lava balls. Meanwhile Rokku would be floating within the lava holding his zanpakutou which would be pulsing with spiritual pressure as if something was happening to it.|-

(Sorry for the wait.)

"Forest of Death."

*Ken would say, casually ignoring the impalements of the shadows. Once he finished his handsigns, the area would pulse, instantly undergoing a mutation that Ken was known for. The ground broke open, all across the land, as branches and roots the size of buildings erupted from the newly formed openings. They all numbered in the hundred millions and billions, as they erupted everywhere, making even the view of the sky a distant memory. The vines and branches etc, all waited for Kyoraku to show, striking him from every angle the second he makes himself visible. In his shadow form would probably fall victim to the cracks formed across the land, being trapped in the depths of vescutia's crust. The trees, branches, bushes, plants, and other forms of agriculture of unknown origin would take up sight for as far as could be seen. There seemed to be no end to this abysmal forest, and Ken planned to make this Kyoraku's graveyard.

He melded out of his own skin, similar to a snake, leaving a mere shell of himself impaled by the shadows. Ken rose his hand above his head and clenched it, setting the entire forest ablaze with the rain flame. Doing so would no doubt deter Kyoraku, as he was no in Ken's world. Allowing him the extreme advantage. *

((No worries))

-Harming Kyoraku while he was a shadow was practically impossible unless you were attempting to hit him with a spiritually based attack, like an explosion of reiatsu or something like what Starkk attempted to do to him and this shadow, was no ordinary shadow. As long as shadows remained on the ground Kyoraku could jump from shadow to shadow instantly withe ease all the way up to where Rokku was thus taking minimal damage from the rain flame forest of deathy pwnage to any outsider who couldnt sense where his spiritual energy was at the moment it seemed as if nothing was happening. Forcing Kyoraku to change games is how you beat him but of course overpowering him works just as well, just takes longer. Now with him in the shadow cast of the volcano a giant blade of shadow would erupt from the entire structure as millions and millions of tiny blades would pierce where rokku was isolating his shdaow from that of the volacno with the greatest precision it looked as if the volcano exploded in an energy of blackness with it, as long as rokku remained in the volcano would be sucked into the shadow of the volcano where Kyoraku would whisk him away to soul society under the radar of the oblivious ken.-
