Continued from Underground Rules

Niji exited Takano's lab and began to walk through the forest.  She addressed the Arrancar's worry as they walked, "My concern is for both of you as individuals, but you have the wrong impression about this place. This whole underground complex, the sunmoss, the biosphere…it represents a hundred hours at most.  Over several months, I have come here for a few hours about once a week to burn off the reiryoku I have built up. I think most spiritual beings tend to either have a better way to expel their reiryoku or tend to constantly use their reserves in fights, but it matters not; this is what I do.  And, while I would be slightly annoyed if I had to abandon this location, the Earth is a very big place, and I could replicate the expenditure anywhere. In fact, there are some improvements in the process I would probably try.”

The fullbringer gave a slight shrug as they arrived at a vine-covered wall a few minutes from Takano’s laboratory. She made a slight gesture with her hands and the vines parted, the wall disappearing and opened into a tunnel in the stone. The ground shook violently under them, and a piece of the strange glowing moss descended to hover above her head, providing light in the tunnel as she entered it. ”Mister Hirai has spent at least an order of magnitude more time down here than I have; he is probably more attached to the place than I am.”

After a minute, the tunnel would enter into a large open space. The sunmoss moved back towards the ceiling, and Niji focused her reishi into it. Over the next few seconds, the sunmoss would expand and spread quickly across the roof of the area.  The light would reveal columns of rock flowing from the floor to the ceiling, as well as some that ended in platforms of various heights. The ground was made of the fine sand of pulverized rock. ”Developing the forest uses my energy effectively, but the fact is that even making something like arena uses less energy than a single attack against a strong opponent.”

She nodded at the new construction, then turned to the Arrancar and Quincy, ”Put simply, at the moment I have reiryoku to burn, and if you would like to see what I am ‘capable of in part,’ I could empower a handful of spirits that would give you something to practice against.  Perhaps it would give you both a better chance of survival in case Mister Hirai’s research encounters trouble.”

He followed a few paces behind Gaia, scanning the terrain as they moved further from the lab and into what he assumed was Haven proper. Lazarus said nothin as she spoke about the biosphere and how it came to be, finally having confirmation that it did in fact exist in the human realm. For a handful of minutes he assumed it was between realms or mirrored a realm much like his home realm did, though the information that it merely existed somewhere on earth made it seem less mystifying. His focus was more on the fact that she was doing all of this with reishi alone, and that she had so much of it to spare that it could create something of this magnitude in such a short amount of time.



The idea of fighting spirits with even a fraction of what this person was capable of, it was more tempting than he would let himself show, though he had a safe assumption that this was going to be a trial for the both of them, more so himself than Nezuel. Of all the people in Haven currently he assumed himself the weakest, though he had no clue if Takano had been suppressing his power or not. It would be far from his first time fighting against someone stronger than himself, par for the course really, but it was more often than not a humbling experience.



As they entered what he could only guess was the arena Gaia had just made, Lazarus would scan the area slowly, taking in as much detail as possible. Everything was a learning experience if you had the right state of mind for it, and he was the type of person to take whatever he could from a fight and improve his abilities. He'd roll his shoulders and do a couple stretches to get himself loosened up, amber hues coming to rest on Gaia, speaking through the small warm up stretches.



" I'm game, I'll need all the training I can get if things go sideways in the lab, plus I've been running into powerful beings lately so it helps to know what the receiving end of that power feels like."

The underground section that Gaia had made for her release of riatsu, and Takano's researches he supposed, was much larger than what he had originally thought.  Despite bringing Lazarus to Haven he knew just about as much as the quincy when it came to how the place worked.  Perhaps that was only emphasized by the way Gaia spoke about this place as to how unimportant it was to her.  Certainly Takano had more stake in the place with the lab he had here but he hoped that the shinigami had some sort of contingency plan should the place fall...some way to get the valuable information out of the area and into a safe spot.

He had to admit, as the glowing moss moved here and there and all around them, that the powers Gaia possessed was rather wonderful.  Still, for her to do so much while not even spending as much power as a simple attack.  How strong was the woman in front of them truly...and how terrifying could she be?  For some reason, he imagined another woman just as terrifying, also holding back her true power.  He sighed then, heart doing a little leap as he prepared himself for what was ahead.

"I don't really like fighting" Nez would say, the truth of it buried deep in his blood, the whispers he often heard.  "But I admit that fighting experience is important...especially to a hollow such as I." He shook his head.  It almost seemed like she might be mocking them, fighting simple spirits instead of the warrior herself, what hope would they have if such things made of reishi and will were able to defeat them.  Perhaps it was because he was weak, the runt of the Hueco Mundo litter but...it upset him for some reason.

"When you're ready." Nez would say with a nod, taking a ready stance.

She smiled faintly at Nezuel’s hesitation, assuming it was because of the slight demonstration of her power to create this arena as they walked. ”Was this not what you had in mind about seeing me in action?"

Niji nodded at the Quincy in approval, then looked closely at both of them, taking their measure. With a nod, she began to emit a bright golden glow, and two beings manifested. In front of Nezuel, an older looking man, despite his age, he appeared ready for combat and capable. In front of Lazurus, a strange creature that appeared to be a combination of wolf and bull, with a strong body, a canine muzzle, and vicious horns.

First, Niji addressed the old man, the words coming out of her mouth were in an unfamiliar language to the Arrancar and Quincy. It simultaneously sounded natural and unearthly; a combination of guttural and ephemeral that was distinctly unusual. The old man bowed politely to her, then turned and bowed to Nezuel. She then addressed the wolf-bull, and it then turned to the Quincy and pawed the ground excitedly.

”Nezuel, your opponent will be the warrior god Futsunushi; he enjoys a good fight, and if he provides you with pointers, I would listen to them. Mister Jaeger, you will be testing the strength of my potential shinshi; he will be thinking of this as a practical interview as a messenger for me and a guardian of this place.”

As he finished his stretches he watched the two spirits appear before them, intrigued to see that one was some hybrid of creatures unlike the man Nezuel was to fight. Lazarus would nod to Gaia respectfully, and then turn his attention fully to the beast before him. There was a change in his demeanor as he focused in on his opponent, the normally warm amber eyes looking colder, scanning the beast over up and down slowly. Being someone who wanted to talk out a situation when possible, others of his race would always assume him a coward, or someone how was just weak and couldn't fight for himself. Neither of those were true facts, he simply wished for a different way, not locked into the constant need for battle like everyone else seemed to be. That aside, his nose had been in hundreds of fighting literature, from strategy to combat skill, all so that when talking wasn't an option he knew how to get the best chance at survival.

Unlike the arrancar, he wasn't as capable with bare fists, and so he would employ the ambient reishi around them to summon his weapons of choice. Holding both arms out, his palms and drawing in what was assumed to be mostly Gaia's expended reishi, two weapons would come to appear. In his left hand he held a straight sword, the reishi so densely compacted that it almost appeared real. In his right hand would be small hand bow, his index and middle finger on the top half, ring and pinky finger on the lower half. It was designed in such a way that his thumb was to pull back the string, allowing rapid succession fire without the need for his other hand, something he had come up with after countless hours of losing with just a bow.

It was...curious how Gaia managed to summon such spirits.  She had called Nezuel's opponent a warrior god and he had to admit that apart from him he thought had been dead was offended at the idea.  Perhaps it meant something akin to the kami, the words similar but different in functionality to the gods of the more western religions.  Perhaps Gaia thought higher of him, the stronger between the two to summon a warrior capable of giving advice, if he so deigned.  Still, the spar they were about to have served the purpose of making them all stronger, learning more.  Perhaps Gaia hadn't fought someone whose combat style was around draining reishi....or perhaps she had, it mattered little to him.

Nezuel opened himself to the reishi of the area, finding the many souls at his command hungry and hoping for an end of the starvation he forced upon them.  He could feel them, feel him, pounding at the gates, trying to bubble up to the surface.  He'd have to be careful here, careful to keep this as a spar and not the death match that would happen should he let him out here of all places.

Nez nodded his head at the warrior spirit.  "I greet you, Futsunushi, I hope you can teach me well." his eyes glanced to Gaia.  "But as I said earlier, I don't like to fight for nothing, why don't we put something on the outcome, some skin in the game?" He smiled over at Laz, the conversation and deal he'd offer something the quincy boy had heard before.

As Nezuel flashed a smile at Lazarus, a blade slashed past his chest. Futsunushi smiled calmly, his blade already back in the sheath. His voice was harsh and hard, reminiscent of clashing metal, ”She is not your opponent today, Nezuel, I am.”

Niji, for her part, had already created a small chair out of stone and was sitting in a relaxed pose, her energy washing over the area like a physical pressure on the combatants. She offered the Arrancar a slight shrug, then nodded at the kami that had come to meet her request.  From how she was apparently relaxing in the chair, she was not planning on any sort of direct intervention herself.

The shinshi gave an excited huff, then spoke in a sonorous baritone that did not sound like it should come from the strange wolf-like muzzle, ”Yes, let us begin. Please let me know if I am too rough, Mister Jaeger.” The creature pawed at the ground, then rapidly charged at the Quincy, aiming to gore the man with one of its wickedly sharp horns.

The warrior god kept his eyes locked on the Arrancar, and his hands rested on his blade, ”In earnest, then." And drew his blade again in a flash of steel.

Nez took a step back as the kami spirit drew his sword the first time. The blow was strong, but his hierro combined with the intuitive movement of the step back, something he hadn't even been thinking of, saved him from quite a bit of the damage. He pressed a finger to the small line of red, the wound minor in the grand scheme of things. He had taken several notes from his most recent combats, stronger foes mostly. It seemed common that one would run out of time in the battle by the simple accumulation of wounds...so he had developed a way to heal himself. It wasn't time for that, of course, but he had it in reserve.

He glanced over at Lazarus. "Although we both have foes we should treat them as the same opponent, I'll try to limit their attacks for now, then create an opening for you." He gave the quincy a smile as the sound of static filled the air, the second strike from the warrior spirit missing its intended mark as Nezuel appeared behind him. He gently laid a hand on the spirit's shoulder as he fell from his high speed movement, hair still flipping about. "BAKUDŌ #22: HAKUFUKU" He'd say, then retreting by kicking off the ground when his feet touched it.

He was curious, then, how such a kido might affect the spirits infront of them. Would one be affected, as common logic would dictate, or did they share a deeper connection?

While Nezuel seemed to have an easier time moving through the blanket of reiatsu weighing on them, Lazarus was noticeably slower, his own movements not so flashy. He would use hirenkyaku to move at a speed that would allow him to evade the offending horn, however he only moved a marginal distance to the side, his blade coming up to block and guide the horn away with a parry. there had only been a few times when a reiatsu of this weight had come upon him, it was like a weighted blanket you didn't want to be wearing, all but suffocating if you weren't careful. As much as he wanted to hold a conversation with the spirit, or Nezuel with his strategy, Lazarus needed to focus more so on the beast's attacks in order to stay uninjured.



"Let's see what sticks..."



More so softly spoken to himself, but the plan was to see what kind of damage would be best used, and how much of it would be needed to bring the beast to its knees if possible. He muttered something under his breathe and snapped his fingers just under the beasts neck, sparks dancing from his the tips as he took a handful of steps back. With the same hand, the one holding the sword, he pointed out his index finger. From it a single beam of near white energy would spark out, aimed at the beasts right leg in an attempt to slow it down. If his first spell took, it would provide a lingering effect to damage the beast, if the second spell met it's mark it would do a more physical kind of damage. All of this done to test which was more effective, and what would be the decision of how to continue the battle.

The old man grunted as Nezuel’s kido took effect, but he was quick to return with his own slash, following up into a strange maneuver which seemed to reflect more light than should have been possible directly into his eyes, attempting to temporarily blind and distract the Arrancar before his next volley.

Similarly, the shinshi was not about to let the Quincy get off a close range spell with no retaliation, and the wolf-like muzzle bit at the man’s hand as he jumped away. The energy blast missed the leg and took the bull in the side, causing a slow trickle of thick golden liquid to leak from the wound.

Niji watched curiously; this was still early in the conflict, and everyone was attempting to get the measure of the other. The sneak attack from Futsunushi surprised her a bit, but the kami had wanted to get Nezuel’s attention. It seemed to have worked. It seemed that the Arrancar was also more open to flexibility on who fought who, though it seemed Lazarus was focused on just the shinshi and determine its weaknesses.

The warrior god and the messenger spirit closed the distance with their opponents and attacked with another sweep of blade and horn.

The enemies before them seemed completely unaffected by their efforts to defeat them. It didn't seem to matter that he went after their reserves, since it seemed limitless, didn't matter if he tried to hurt them since his attacks, even if they were near perfect, didn't penetrate their skin or armor. His mind flashed back to a blond hair shinigami and a barrier of kido he had barely managed to pierce. There was very little he could do in a situation like this and only two thoughts came to mind.

The spirit's attempt to blind him was unsuccessful but both of his attack landed. The arrancar had managed to bring up both of his arms to block one of the strikes but even that made it through his hierro seemingly completely ignoring it. He held up his hand at the spirit, sending out a flash of ice and flower petals as he backed up from the spirit as far as he could. He felt his blood leaking down to the floor below, his eyes dropping to inspect the wound on himself versus the wound on the spirit.

"It seems evident that your spirits are beyond our abilities." Nez would say, moving from a readied position to a neautal one. "In this sort of battle I would seek to escape first, if possible. Since it isn't possible in this conflict then that leaves us with one other alternative." He held up his hands. "I surrender."

A sharp in hale was all he gave in response to the beast taking a chomp on the hand that had tried to light the beast ablaze, blood dripping from the wound down his finger tips and falling onto the sands below. While he wanted to try and prepare himself for the next onslaught of attacks, it would appear that he wasn't quick , his feet trying to carry him out of the way of the offending horn. A pained cry escaped him at the feeling of the sharp horn scraping across his ribs, cutting flesh and cloth all the same. The wound itself was bleeding, but from under the torn cloth anyone who was looking might see a multitude of scars.



"That's gonna hurt so much worse tomorrow..."



thankfully adrenaline was keeping the pain to a minimum, but the pain was evident as he looked over to Nezuel, frowning a bit at the surrendering he was witnessing. Lazarus wasn't quite ready to give up yet, and with a rolling of the shoulders would mutter under his breathe, his blade taking on a more jagged edge. As he stepped in, once again would he snap his fingers, sparks dancing once more from his fingertips to try again to light the beast on fire. Continuing with his offense, the now jagged looking blade would come up, aimed to rake across the shoulder of the spirit in an attempt to draw more of the golden liquid. From under the beasts chin his index finger would crackle with lighting like energy, firing a small beam upwards like some pseudo spell uppercut.

The warrior spirit sheathed blade at Nezuel’s comment, ”A fair response to an overwhelming force.”  It then turned to Niji, and she once again spoke to it in the unfamiliar language.  It dissipated into golden energy, leaving only the shinshi and the Quincy facing each other.  She created another stone chair for Nezuel to sit on, then looked at the the two that were still fighting.

The strange creature glanced back to its summoner as the blade raked across it’s hide, leaving a thin line, but no apparent actual damage. Niji smiled softly at the Quincy, who was still fighting despite being clearly outmatched. ”Persevere as you are able, I will heal any of your injuries at the conclusion of the bout.  Though, perhaps my initial approach was too aggressive.”

She spoke a few more words to the shinshi, and suddenly the oppressive reiatsu of the area mostly dissipated. The arena was still suffused with Niji’s reiatsu, but it was no longer the unbearable weight it had been.  The creature excitedly hopped from one paw to another, then charged at Lazarus again, and while the attack was nearly as fast as it had been before, there appeared to be significantly less power behind the attack.

Your natural Skill cap of 50 is increased to 60 and you start with +10 to one Skill of your choice.

GENIUS
Start with the Enhanced Basic Techniques/Spells; Focus Energy and Invigorate. Also, three times per battle, you can use Focus Energy or Invigorate as an At-Will action.

UNBRIDLED
The standard Reishi cap is lifted. (You may now gain an unlimited amount of Reishi.) Also, you gain +3 Reishi at the end of each turn per each foe you are fighting. (For example, in a 1v3, you would regain +9 Reishi.) Also, as a passive effect, as long as you remain at 50% HP or above, you gain the advantages of EDGE 2 against all foes, regardless of Reiatsu Levels. Alternatively, if you already have EDGE advantage (above EDGE 2) while above 50% HP, that advantage is now doubled.

OPPRESSIVE REIATSU
As a passive effect, your basic Strikes become area attacks and add the Bashing Major Effect. All other area attacks gain +10 accuracy and the Bashing Major Effect as well. Additionally, on a turn in which you use Invigorate, your Techs/Spells ignore 3 of their target’s DR; increase the amount of DR ignored by +3 per opponent in your current thread beyond the first. (3 DR ignored 1v1, 6 DR ignored 1v2, 9 DR ignored 1v3, etc)

It seemed he really was useless here, even his last attack, something that had never failed him, seemed to do nothing against the spirits.  A frown was etched on Nezuel's expression as he watched the spirit talk to Gaia and then disappear.  It deepened as the stone chair was erected and the oppressive riatsu from Gaia was eased a little.  Perhaps she had been too aggressive but it was too late to go back now, surely.  Still, perhaps she was giving Lazarus a chance to actually fight the monster in front of him instead of hitting it like a solid wall again and again.

She had overestimated them, which was a saddening thought since it meant they were hardly ready for what they had hoped to do...although perhaps that only applied to Nezuel.  He'd grown stronger but he was still a little fish in a small pond it seemed.  The only person he'd actually ever beat in a fight was the quincy before him whose years lumbered many fewer than his own.  Perhaps he should simply leave this all behind if this was all he could amount to, the beater of children.

He moved over to where Gaia had set herself up, crossing his arms as he watched the bull attack Lazarus.  "Do you still need me here, or may I go?"

Perhaps it was the fact that he was used to the difficulty of always fighting stronger opponents, maybe it was just a lack of pride that would otherwise keep him from fighting, what ever the case, Lazarus looked almost disappointed that Nezuel had given up so quickly. It was also a touch of disappointment at the fact that he was so outclassed Gaia had to decrease the difficulty to accommodate him though it would allow him a better experience in the long term so he would be grateful for it.



He could tell that the beast had lost a significant chunk of it's power, though it did not seem to mind as it lunged forward, Lazarus taking a page from the beasts book to do the same. As they neared one another he would let his weight drag him down, sliding under the beast to try and rend it from front to hind leg. Once he was on the other side of the spirit he would strike out in a thrust to try and hit the right hind leg, wanting to see how effective the strikes were now that they were closer to one another in power. If the strikes hit they held the potential to rip and tear the wounds to an even greater degree, something he had grown used to applying to his spiritual weapons' as it was another way to leak damage through to an opponent.
