[CLASH OF LEGENDS]

"VOOI!!" Was the Moon Iramasha's only reply as his leg slammed into the form of the beast, a very wide smile on his face as he slammed the leg into Radioactive, feeling the steel of the defense of the other man. Voi… How much…? He wondered, feeling as his own body began to harden and steel itself at the very best level that it could in his sealed state, preparing itself the very best that it could as he realigned his body.

As he relaxed into his feeling with the Shark in front of him, his body began to assume a stance, his hot breath leaving his mouth and creating a layer of visible air in the space in front of his head, due to the cold of the area that they were in. He could hear the other man laughing, and only kept that small smile on his lips, retaining his battle stance, his mind at last able to cement itself into that layer of calm that was the Moon Iramasha's battle state. "Voi… if you came here with mold… then you better prepare to watch it get burned off." He stated simply as without warning another wave of energy burst off from the male.

Moonie could feel it in his bones; the figure before him was… 'waking up'. As the ground shook around his body, the smile on his face only continued to rise upwards, the massive amount of hair on the back of his head rising up on all sides as he focused his own energy inwards towards his core, the force of pure gravity around him changing as the aura around the man before him became more visual.

"...And you are really covered with mold it seems, shark beast. You're keeping me waiting." Was all that the man with the golden hair said in reply, his very soul seeming as if it could feel the man's words, the essence of them turning into one massive roar as the snow around the area was destroyed, the clouds parting for the spiritual energy that was beginning to be released as Moonie's own mind cleared, feeling the true power at last of the individual in front of him. It was massive, it was terrifying; it was incredible. It was enough to make most cower in fear and for those unprepared even be blown away. However, it only elicited one response from the being that it was being used on, who opened his mouth wide.

"VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!!!"

Moonie could see him as he approached, his own head being thrown to the side so that he got a sidelong glance at the Shark Man as he shot directly into the Moon Iramasha, his feet planting on the ground with an immense amount of force. Strangely, despite the fact that the dirt and ground was being obliterated under Radio's approach as he got closer to Moonie, the ground directly beneath his feet did not bend or break apart; but stayed right where it was. At last, the punch reached him, and directly across Moonie's face he could feel it.

A massive explosion of destructive force occurred, as Moonie grit his teeth, the smile on his face vanishing as he focused, the plate of ground beneath him crumbling and forming around his legs, possibly showing what was occurring as Moonie's face took the full brunt of the attack, his body being pushed away about ten feet. Just ten feet… above the massive crater that had occurred from the force of Radioactive's attack, but Moonie was still standing there. A single plate of something flesh colored had launched off of his face, shooting off high into the distance as if it had been fired off like a missile, finally slamming into the barrier covering the area as it was fried into nothingness, leaving behind a black smoke.

Meanwhile, Moonie's gaze was directly on Radioactive, though his face seemed to be torn between a smile and a grimace. That was because of the force, the pure force that was singing throughout Moonie's body, the 3 inch wide hole made in his left cheek beginning to ooze out the black substance that was the inside of his body able to progress a very small amount as it literally plastered directly onto the male's face. Most people would have been sent flying from that attack; Moonie for his part… simply increased his own Gravity and mass, one hand on the handle of the blade behind him. This made his gravity so massive that it was literally as if Radioactive's fist had collided with a mountain, and yet he had still been moved so far, and his flesh torn off and discarded from his body, cracking off instead of tearing. That was, after all, the only way that it could have been removed at that point.

The incredible part, the most incredible, was the position of the man's face. His face had not once been forced back from his gaze. He was pressed hard, and nearly lost it, but he had managed to keep his neck perfectly staring at the male in front of him. However, Radio was at last after him as he could feel his hand leaving the blade behind him, his body being pushed back another ten feet as the residual force that he had been dealing with had at last left him… and Radioactive was on top of him once again. The first blow aimed at his neck slammed directly into Moonie's own hand, his gaze looking beyond the fist as he smiled, the dust around them dispersing all about as Moonie could feel the bruise that was rapidly forming on his left palm.

After that, he took two more of the blows at his chest, both hands shooting out as they caught two of the before one got through, slamming into his chest as a massive bruise appeared. He had been stripped bare by the earlier assault; if frozen ground could not maintain itself against that attack, what chance did fabric have? The answer was very little… statistically zero. Not that Moonie particularly knew this, nor that he cared. The shots landed on his kidneys would have mattered if he had kidney's; instead, he took the chance to raise up a foot to one of the fists, kicking it out of the way and suffering two more hits to himself, another two bruises appearing on his body as he spun about, the man's fists landing on his stomach as he spat out another wave of black blood past Radioactive's face, his arms moving away from the final blows as he felt Radio grab his body, pulling him down into another uppercut as it slammed directly into his chin.

However, even as he did so, Moonie's hand landed on the blade on his back once again. As he did so, the force of the man's uppercut reached his head first, pushing it far backwards as he instantly recalibrated his Gravity, stopping in mid air and upside down. "That was… fantastic." Was all that he stated as he felt the other man appearing high above his head, his foot coming downwards. "...Voi." Was all he stated as the kick slammed into his upper back, his body spiraling and cascading as it went downwards, relishing in the feeling as he slammed into the ground below, his face landing in first and his mouth filling with cold rock.

As he rose up again, he merely swallowed it. The injury he had received on his face had nearly reformed by this time, and he was looking upwards towards the other man as he roared. "I WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED WITH ANYTHING LESS!!" He roared in reply as his eyes slightly shook, seeing Radio become consumed with some kind of golden aura as he gathered his spiritual energy, Moonie bringing back his own fist as strange black flames flowed out from his elbow, layering it in flames as he watched the man descend, his fist brought back as it began to radiate the black energy, tendrils of patterns forming around his elbow as he focused, looking directly at the approaching disaster.

"MOON SMASH!!"

The Moon left his mouth at an incredibly violent crescendo as his fist slammed into that of Radioactive's,, the Blast having intensified to such a level that it was pushing through Radioactive's attack, tearing it apart and discarding it before it could come into contact with the Moon Iramasha's fist, resulting in Moonie's body shooting directly through the attack as it slammed into the ground behind him, his fist leading him directly through the explosion that occurred behind his body, the momentum of his leap having destroyed quite a bit of the ground beneath him and giving him more room as he ascended, still releasing that crescendo. At last as he emerged through the other end of it, his fist slamming into Radioactive's as the Blast fired out in a massive wave around his body, blowing away and tearing apart the energy that surrounded his body as Blast emerged from his feet, exploding violently as his fist finally connected with the Shark Beast's, at last yelling out the smash part.

"VOI! I KNOW YOU WANT THIS SAME THING TOO!"

Was all that Moonie yelled at the man, completely disregarding the vortexes of energy as his entire body flung around at an unnatural angle, but seeming completely natural as his body flung around, his right fist flashing outwards as it became consumed in Blast, the energy hyper-focused as it had been earlier, as at last he brought back his fist, his eyes completely white with power as his hand clenched, forming a knuckle punch as it was brought all the back, a purple wave of color emerging from his body as it aligned with Radio's face, and connected at last with the fist. This Gravity was connecting the two and increasing the momentum of Moonie's attack as he brought the fist forwards, slamming it directly into the side of the face of the Shark Beast, trying to slam him directly in the side of his jaw. In addition to the basic attack that Moonie launched with all of his might, the Blast which had been hyper-focused would light on fire, burning the man's flesh and the Blast itself tearing away at his flesh, durability, and any other barriers that were outside of his body to allow for the knuckle's impact to slam at him with the full force he possibly could.

"MOON DRAGON'S ROUT!!"

This was the only sound that came out of Moonie's mouth as he performed the punch, before his left foot pushed off of the ground, the pain from the bruises on his hands not even registering in his mind as he spun around suddenly, his feet becoming consumed by Blast once again as another focused spurt appeared around his knee, his body once again unnaturally moving through the air as he bent his torso back, exposing just his knee as he shot forwards, attempting to slam it into the Nuclear Beast's torso as similar effects to the first two attacks would occur, most likely causing Radio to feel a massive amount of pain in his sternum.

"MOON SNAP!"

The man's relentless assault, the most common style he knew how to perform, had begun occurring, as at last his mouth began to change, opening wide as a spherical sphere of energy began to appear in it. No matter what position he was in, his ball would suddenly light on fire, bound to the front of Moonie's mouth with energy as he pointed his head directly at the Shark Beast, his eyes once again completely white with power, the lack of bones and other structures that made up this strange creature in plain view.

At last, from his mouth radiated the massive attack as a ball of concentrated Blast descended from his mouth, exploding directly onto where Radioactive's body was and staying there, attempting to consume him in flames that would attempt to tear at his defenses and rend them into dust the best that they could. Failing this, they would tear and rip up at anything else they came into contact with, and would push Moonie out away from them, his own Gravity reduced so substantially that the microscopic friction was enough to push him away from the assault.

"Moon Roar."

He stated simply as he spat out another wad of saliva combined with blood, his eyes looking at the massive sphere of Blast energy. It would sustain itself for a good ten seconds before abruptly collapsing in on itself before fading away. Meanwhile, the Moon Iramasha would have taken a deep breath, his gaze towards the sky as he released a single roar. This roar was without intelligent substance he sheer bestial nature of the man coming COMPLETELY to bare as the outpouring of energy began to finally reveal his aura, the focus going down and his raw power beginning to get away from its dumbed down nature. This was a battle that Moonie could afford to hold nothing back on; his eagerness had gotten the best of him earlier, and as the waves of power began to shed from around his body, his spiritual pressure beginning to accelerate to the point where it clashed with the force of the Beast before him, his body began to shake violently.

No, that wasn't right. It was the air around him that was shaking. The male's body was perfectly still. Black flame began to appear around both arms this time, forming into constant appearance, the Blast making a constant presence around the two of them. It was a strange state; Moonie's energy was leaking out as if he were within his Return state, where 10% of his power would be completely released, and yet he had not begun to unlock it. He was simply enjoying himself too much.

For the male, that's what this experience was. It was valuable; the most valuable experience that he had had the chance to partake in yet. No longer would he have to teach his opponent what it meant to slam his fist against their body and happily return the favor unto him. In addition, he needed to hold back absolutely nothing; the same force which had desolated Poland while being held back by the abilities of his opponent was completely unrestricted at long last. His nature, the being which had existed for thousands of years on the Moon, solitary and without aim, creating craters that surrounded its surface purely for his desire to release presence onto the infinite plain of dust around him…

This Beast that had to fill the space of the Moon with its presence was completely awake, and completely alive!

This fight was beginning to become too much for the likes of Radioactive to bare at this point. The primal spirit within the man that stand before him was utterly great and was enough to leave him thoroughly satisfied. Through the contact of their fist, the connection of their souls and the destructive display of their power; each of these wonderful warriors were making the marks on the other's spirit ignite in this display of savage combat. The burning sensation that roared within The Nature Iramasha's core was all that needed to be spoken at this point. The need for such words were beginning to dissipate like ash in the wind. Yes, it is here that The Nuclear Shark Beast could feast upon such a valiant fighter, a worthy champion and someone with the strength, skills and instincts required to give The Titan Of Russia his will to fight once more. For what Radioactive thirsted the most out of this? It was a person to push him pass his limits, to beyond what he is capable of and unleash the true depths of his strength out of it's dull slumber. This is what he sought out in Moonie, and in the same respect, he'd get every ounce of potential that lay within the Moon God in return.

By the time the two of these beast fist were able to make contact with one another, a monstrous explosion detonated throughout the area. In a blinding flash of light, for miles on end, the land around them was entirely consumed by these fighters massive force. It obliterated the Earth, the wind, the air, the snow and everything that had been devoured their clashing. So in this chaotic moment, it mattered not that the offensive measures of the attack were able to be broken through. Nay, Radiaoctive actually welcomed this challenge. No matter how difficult the road may be ahead him for this battle, it merely that he was just going to have to push himself harder, find new depths of strength to obtain and another monumental battle to be carved within his memory from this glorious day.

Everything else was a blur within the male's mind; as nothing else seem matter much to him but the keen passion to keep propelling himself forward with this aggressive fury , brute strength and the power of the primal instinct thrusting him towards this path of absolute victory of one's internal self. Thus, as the male took the heavy hit to the jaw, nothing but an explosion of flames erupted out of the left side of The Nuclear Giant's face. Laughing like a manic man, he could begin to feel the sensation of pain leaving it's mark across his body. Despite the fact that there was no deep lasting mark, there was an extremely reddened spot left across the shark's cheek from the spot that Moonie was able to deck him. What did this mean? The full extent of that attack was able to be felt by him. Sure, the melting attributes of this blow wasn't able to be realized when you are dealing with someone like Radioactive, but if anyone else other than The Russian Shinigami or the Nature God were to touch that portion? They'd surely melt their hand, weapon or anything else that touched them; showcasing the radiant nature of their fighting spirit coming to the surface in such a way.

In fact, this blow was strong enough to even leave a burn mark across that portion of his skin; which is not exactly an easy feat to accomplish for someone of his durability level. More importantly, it seemed the a small bit of crimson liquid was seen squirting out of the beast's mouth as The Iramashsa was able to draw blood from that punch. In that moment, a bellowing laugh produced from the Nuclear Beast overpowered any other audible sound in the area at that point in time. It brought him such joy yo be able to feel such things yet again; it gave him a bizarre sense of hope that maybe there are worthwhile fighters still waiting to be found on this desolate planet. With the way Moonie was moving, however, there wouldn't be much luxury for intricate thoughts, feelings and recollections such as the ones that were beginning to brew within the depths of Radioactive's heart and mind.

Swiftly following up that full out assault, The Onslaught of The Moon God was already moving towards the next attack. Sensing a burning sensation of pain suddenly outbursting across his chest, it seemed that the youth was still going all at against him. There was no need to even fight back at this point as the smoldering red marks that craved his skin were proof enough that he was making his hits count. This is what the Shark Beast wanted, this is what he desired; to see the best of that this damned opponent burst out like a blazing sun before him as he unleashed volley after volley throughout his body. Staring at his next assault, nothing but a tooth-filled smirk crept across the shinigami's mouth as he watched the likes of Moonie beginning to gather up a large deal of energy in order to perform some sort of energy based attack against him. Which is, during this build up of the brawl, is when he decided to hit back with a little bit more force when it came to the counters.

Preparing himself mentally and physically for what was about come, The Shinigami braced his body for a heavy impact. Opening his mouth at a fast rate of speed, he'd soon toss his body backwards in order to make distance between himself, Moonie and the massive sphere of blackened flames heading towards his direction. Pulling it in within a vortex being generating within The Nuclear Shark's throat, it appeared that he actually planned to take this attack head on and devour it with his own teeth! Clenching down on everything this destructive blast had to offer, he'd literally taste the fearsome might that The Nature Iramasha had to offer during this fight. He ate through his valor, his determination and thirst for the pursuit of the primal spirit and it filled Radioactive's veins with new life; causing a destructive burst of golden light to blind the area, clear the atmosphere themselves and make it seem as if it were daytime itself in the midst of the now smoldering rubble that was their battleground.

Stomping back down to the burnt ground, nothing but a strong flow of smoke exhaled out of Radioactive's mouth as he stood on his own two feet to pay tribute to the overwhelming roar Moonie released from his being. Through all of the exchanges had until this point, it seemed that the weight of this battle was pressing down on his essence and forcing a monster straight out of the surface. The Shinigami wouldn't be surprised if some sort of new strength came out of him from the results of this clash; as within himself he could feel a great deal of power raising to the surface. Wiping away the blood from his cheek, he'd get a taste for his own fluid taste like as it had been awhile since someone was able to do that. Silencing everything inward and within himself, The Nuclear Beast decided that this was going to be the time to take root into his original form. This was more than the awakening he required to restore himself back to a familiar state of consciousness.

Turning around to the likes of Moonie Iramasha, there were only so little words that could be expressed. Through that bout they shared, in the way their fist collided with one another, he was able to pass the test to see if he was truly a formidable adversary. Through the marking of his blood and the sensation of pain, he had determined that it was going to be on this day that he'd revert back into his Shikai state and unleash the shark within himself in order to truly reclaim the title as The Nuclear Shark Beast once more. In accordance with this desire, the ground below them started to shake violently throughout the whole fifty mile radius quivered in fear of the storm that was beginning to loom over the horizon. Bolts of golden lighting struck down on the ground, burst of magma shot upwards into the air and the sounds of beastly animals ROARED throughout the lands as a tense pressure slammed into the entire vicinity.

"It's time....for The Shark to come out once more. You've more than shown me through this exhibition match that you are indeed an excellent opponent and I'd be happy to show you why I have the title I do. So without much further talk, I'll let my actions do the talking from this point onward, Moon God. Brace yourself for the release of my true self." And with those words uttered out into the world, Radioactive would slam his fist together and unleash a deafening boom that deepened the carter around them by roughly one mile; releasing a giant way of golden light outwards towards the sky and shattered the barrier in one foul swoop by the discharge of this daunting power. Just what was taking place in the awakening of this power? The depths of The Shark were being awakened and his shikai was at last coming to the surface once more. Officially coming out of his state of inactivity, the Nuclear Giant finally released his Zanpakutō at long last and underwent the transformation process of turning into the classic figure that most fighters throughout the globe and the Soul Society were more familiar with.

In the first wave of changes that were to come in accordance with this metamorphosis; the height of the man grew to even greater proportions. Extending from his seven foot eleven height, he soon grew to a stature of roughly eight foot eleven for how tall the Shinigami grew into. Following that, every muscle, tendon and fiber inside of Radioactive's being had grown in size and bulk. Muscles pumped up, skin became denser and, fairly soon, the scales of a Radioactive's released form were displayed across his body; as a foot long tail came out of the center portion of The Nuclear Beast's spine. Coming in like a charging wind, a long pair of blackened claws extending out of his hands; while the sharkskin across The Male's body became a faded and dull shade of orange in color throughout most of his body; while transforming into a purely white color at the base of his lower jaw, down to his chest area and ending in belly. And, to signify the last stage of this transformation, two fins sported behind the man's head; with it coming along an extremely unkempt and lengthy set of black hair. As a result, as the whites in his eyes gave way to a crimson color and his pupils became orange in color, the release was complete and the light soon dissipated in the area as he was once again back in the form all had known him as.

Hovering out of the smoldering creator, Radioactive's body emitted a thick layer of radiant orange and golden light as he clenched his arms. Cracking his neck, swaying his tail and taking a long, deep and relaxing breathe; it had honestly been quite some time since he had been brought back into this state. It felt like he was reborn once again since the last time this state was active. As a matter of fact, the The Nuclear Beast felt even stronger than in the past having ascended to this form. Why on Earth was this sensation happening? It's easy: his muscles were now well rested and had recovered from his centuries long release of The Shinigami's Constant Shikai. They say some of the best means of improvement come, not during training, but in the duration the body is put at rest. Being that Radioactive's overall bases for power is, for a majority, mostly physical; the time he spent in his base form allowed these muscles to repair themselves, gather the strength they need and improve his physical energy two times more than before. Ergo, it's results would surely show throughout the upcoming year as he finally had a reason to breathe this form new life.

In consequence with this, without much of a warning, Radioactive's entire right arm was soon devoured in a blinding golden and white hued light as his internal source of spiritual energy appeared to come out. This was the instincts of the shark coming out, the desire of his power to be used and to finally unleash his true fangs against this fighter whom stands before him today. It awakened to the world with a mighty roar, as the screams of a demonic beast could be heard echoing in that arm of his as he had a surefire smirk come across his lips. In the mind of the Nuclear Beast? At this point in time, it seemed that he had only one means of attack for the entry into their next round, so he'd hold his fist out to Moonie and say these words: "Now that you've brought this beast within me out, it's time you do the same. Go ahead, unleash your next form for me and let the commencement of the true battle begin with the marking of our fangs and fists as one. I'll give you the time you need: NOW COME AT ME, MOON GOD!"

Hollering out those words for the entire battlefield to echo, the call to action had finally arrived and things were about to get immensely heated on this battleground. Very soon, The Shinigami would position himself back towards the direction where Moonie's body would be directed at. Taking his time to adjust his body, The Shark Beast started running at a slow pace towards him before eventually picking up some heavy speed. During these critical moments, Moonie would be allotted the time to do whatever he needed to do in order to unleash his next stage. Although, in the end, it didn't matter much to the shark if he did it or not. What's more important was that, no matter what occurred until then, he'd keep charging and charging and charging towards his range until he finally tightened his fist as tightly as he could to hopefully collide against The Nature Iramasha's fist in a blazing glow of powers. One that could be felt for many towns over, seen throughout the depths of space itself and one with enough power to once again obliterate the Environment around them for miles on end just about.

Of course through this attack there was the obvious potential for injuries akin to severe burning, broken bones and other similar means of taking damage. It was simply apart of the game of doing combat. However, there was much more to this hit than just that. Oh yes, there was a lot more soul invested into the depths of this blow no matter where it was able to strike at. In this final action, through these callings, perhaps the shining star that was birthed inside of Radioactive could be conveyed through his fist. They were beings who communicated through fighting, and it was only natural that the only way The Nuclear Beast could hope to pass on a meaning was through his actions. It's the way he should of come at him in the beginning of this fight, and it was a mistake he was rectifying here and now. It was unclear what the results of this clashing of their fangs would be, but The Shinigami was assured that it would be utterly delightful if it were anything like the first round. He was awaken at long last and it was time to have a bit of fun after all of this time spent waiting to find a worthwhile battle.

And so, with the upbringing of their powers reaching the threshold of the release stage, this would commence the second round of Radioactive verses Moonie in the outlands of their countries borders. Who would be the victor on this day? Nobody knew for certain. But from a fight like this, there was certainly much more to be gained than a clear cut winner at the end of the day.
