Kyoraku VS Marta

--Marta's dancing zanpakutos would clash with the first blade, and as the second one came down with much greater speed, Marta was still able to catch it in a clash with the swords in her hand. Thanks to having two sets of swords, she was prepared for the second slash and didn't have to mentally tax herself on the first one. While their blades wrest between one another, Marta used this moment to get a conversation in.-- "Myuku, you're not serious against Marta at all are you? Even now, that slash wasn't as strong as it could've been."-- Sparks flew from their battling blades as she continued on.-- "Earlier, you told Marta that you can understand a lot from your opponent by clashing blades.. and Marta now knows how you feel about this, meaningless fight."

-Kyoraku was about to respond until an EXTREMELY large pillar of flame erupted from where yamma-jii's quarters would be it seemed as if he began to engage in combat with one of this girls superiors with an immediate release of his shikai... He looked for a second while maintaining pressure and turned back to the girl pushing with just enough force to keep up the clash. Sparks flew from the blades from both sides and the wind blew softly-

"Don't take it offensively, but I sincerely think that you aren't the enemy... however both of our superiors beg to differ."

-Kyoraku said gesturing to the flamey explosion that occurred after the pillar of flame erupted out of the sky-

"I'm waiting until this becomes a battle of revenge, because the only reason why I'm fighting now is to appease my swords. So, if yamma-jii falls or if you silver leader falls then we can fight for real eh?"

--Marta looked over at the burst of fire, and since it didn't feel like hellfire, it really had to be that commander Shunsui was talking about.-- "Kham..."-- She thought. He was the type to go up and battle the head honcho without second guessing or hesitation.-- "But, if it becomes a battle of revenge, it turns into a war. And once war breaks out,"-- She continued to apply force to her blades, maintaining the clash with Shunsui.-- "Both sides are at fault..."-- She said sincerely. Not only was this what she really thought, but it was also what she read from Shunsui from clashing blades with him.-- "You're fighting to appease your zanpakutos, so why not try to use them against the real enemy?"-- She was hoping he would wonder back to what she said earlier, about a man with white hair abducting 2 of their captains. Hopefully, he knew this white haired man.--

"I believe the enemy is a wolf in sheep's clothing no? The white haired individual who took Byakuya and Kenpachi, were his eyes thin? As if they weren't even open?"

-Kyoraku's tone went very serious changing the attitude of the discussion completely as if Kyoraku already knew the pieces to the puzzle but was just missing one piece.-

"This is a very time sensitive question as you see... our two leaders might destroy one another the longer we wait"

"His eyes, Marta couldn't see his eyes... They must have been closed.."-- She thought back on the situation, when everyone was passed out.-- "He also had this eerie smile on his face.. A garganta opened up, and as a beam came down and abducted Spike and Byakuya, Marta..."-- Her hands began to tremble, like a sudden wave of guilt rushed over her.-- "Couldn't do anything, but hold Kham as his life was sparred by Byakuya...Sorry."

"If anyone can handle themselves, it's those two, but I'm curious as to what role Ichimaru plays in all of this when I mentioned to Yamma-jii he thought nothing of it. Maybe he too plays some role in all of this, it's unlike him to hide anything from us but maybe it has something to do with..."

-Kyoraku turned his head to the side totally dropping his guard but kept his blades in their hands and shook his head.-

"Yamma-jii said he was dead but his shikai..."

"Ichimaru.. Something to do with what?."-- Marta said as her blades dropped to her side as well. She looked over at the site of massive flames, then realized one thing had to be done at a time.--"But first, we need to stop that Yamma-ji person of yours and Kham from pointlessly fighting. At this rate, we could both lose our leaders, and that could be just what this Ichimaru person wants....unless, there is more?"

-Kyoraku then began to think... that maybe all of this could be one of his tricks, an illusion under his power. But would that be possible if he never witnessed his release? He had to be sure, he had to be but he couldn't let the girl know. He turned back around and flew towards her with the utmost of speed fighting very seriously aiming to smack the girl down with the brute force of his blades, he knew that the girls swords act sentient so he would throw one slash to bait them parry them in the same motion and continue on a slash towards the girl.-

--As expected, her zanpakutos blocked the first slash, but as Marta was blocking the second one, she could tell he was using much more force and power now. Despite having blocked the slash, it still sent her flying down into the ground.-- "Ugh, what... the hell?"-- She looked up at Shunsui, who seemed a lot more serious now. Maybe he thought Marta was lying? She didn't know, but she had to try and see what was wrong. Her black mist swords dissipated, leaving her with only her shikai.-- "What the hell!? I hope you don't think Marta is lying!"-- She said looking up at him, cheeks sort of puffed.--

-Kyoraku would then smirk as they were still playing Kageoni... the shadow game, stading on your shadow would immediately pierce you with thin blades of shadow through your sides, this would occur as Marta slammed to the ground, he flew towards Marta and kept up pursuit flash stepping in front of her as this horrifying repercussion occurred and attempted to slash her across the stomach with both blades-

--Upon seeing Shunsui dash down at her, she felt something stab through her side. It was her shadow, and as much as she didn't want to, it seemed like he was getting serious. She used shunpo to burst back into the air, passing Shunsui up as he was coming down while her blades grazed his zanpakutos and forged another pair of black swords in her hands.-- "Tch, Marta doesn't want to have to fight you like that... Marta isn't your enemy, and you aren't Marta's enemy!"-- Everything on the field began to glow with a radiant white light as she pleaded.-- "Marta doesn't want to hurt you.."

-Kyoraku ignored her and slammed into the ground making a nice sized crater, Kyoraku turned instinctively towards Marta who was flying in the air, pointed at her and said... as a LARGE silver diamond series of spires shot up from the ground where yamma-jii was-

"Senjū Kōten Taihō!!!!"

-This was the incantation he said a while back 'the one that he said he was joking too' a skilled kido user can keep an incantation after being said at the back of their mind making it just as strong this spell... being lvl 91 our of 99 possible hado was one of the strongest lit up the skies with explosions of light energy paining the skies with their awesomeness as if someone was casting flare over and over and over and over and over and over and over making the culminating explosion devastating in power and in size.-

--The net of spiritual energy Marta made in the air earlier was still there, and it actually grew a bit in size as she continued to use the slashes from her shikai after it was forged. It was the thing that was radiating onto the field this entire time as well. She flash stepped to the other side of this net, and her zanpakutos began to spin rapidly, sending more slashes into the net to make it stronger and larger.-- "Marionette, Shield!"-- The net which was being powered up over and over and over and so on acted as a shield to defend Marta from the ensuing explosions of doom. However, she couldn't keep up these slashes because of those damn chakra suppressors, so instead this net would wrap up Marta and act as a closely knit barrier, that would be destroyed by the explosions, but at the same time kept the damages to Marta at a bare minumum.-- "Ugh, because of these suppressors...wait a minute, thats it!"-- As the smoke cleared, Marta was seen standing high in the air, huffing a little bit and tattered and bruised all over. She could have defended against such a thing, but she was being limited now. Her shikai vanished, and returned to their normal state.-- "Why... why do you not trust Marta..*huff*?"-- Despite how it looked, she was still on guard.--

-Kyoraku nodded to himself and flared his arms open towards the girl who was in the sky tattered and bruised by his power, the power he hated to use... still her persistence either was one really powerful illusion or was a ploy this was the final test he could think of-

"Stab me... Do it now no questions asked, just do it"

-He said blatantly, his swords reverted to their regular forms against his will and his foreboding spiritual pressure no longer clothed the area, no more games were being played-

"...."-- Marta didn't hesitate. It was as if she knew it had to be done, even though she didn't want it to happen. She gripped her zanpakuto and flash stepped in front of Shunsui. She motioned her sword to pierce him in the stomach, but right before she did, if Shunsui really payed attention, he would see tears flow from one of Marta's eyes.-- "I'm sorry.."-- She stabbed the sword into him, but diverted its path from his stomach. Instead, it pierced his side, but it still went clean through his body. She didn't move from her position, and then there was a brief silence.--

"I...see, that's how you see through it."

-Kyoraku coughed up blood and pulled Marta's blade out of him and collapsed on the ground on his knees pressing his hands to his side healing his wounds, he realize that Marta's reiatsu was always hers and never Aizens or anyone elses for that matter, and that if it was one of Kyoka Suigetsu, then Marta may have taken the opportunity to kill him. Aside from that, it is impossible for Aizen to generate tears through his illusions... very well.-

"I had to test to see if you were an illusion..."

-He said as he continued to heal himself, if Tousen is on a 'leave' and Gin is involved... and Aizen is 'dead' then he had to assume the worst-

--Marta huffed as she watched Shunsui fall to the ground. Hearing his reason for having her stab him, made her feel a bit better, although she would much rather have not done it.-- "I see, so that's why you said that..."-- She didn't know what to really say at this moment, except ask who was the white haired man.-- "So, that white haired man... if he is lurking in the shadows, then we need to tell your Yamma-jii and Kham right away!"-- She would say with much gusto, but Kyoraku was obviously in pain, and it would probably hinder his ability to get to where their leaders are.-- "Marta will head their way now, if you can't go on now, but don't worry,"-- She smiled and gave him a pat on the head.-- "Marta will return for you! Just hold on!"-- And like that, she raced off toward the leader's battleground, hoping to make some type of difference.--

-Kyoraku could have easily continued on with Marta but instead whipped out a bottle of sake and lied down on the ground taking a nap and drinking, letting time pass taking in the scenery.-
