Explosive Firepower [SOLO/SHIKAI]

Artist: N/A - Song: N/A - Word Count: 3396

Ahhh.. The burning flames that seems to seep against the earth and gently burning the air, was altogether blown away by a mere wind casted by a swing of a blade from Umi, and nevertheless, a surprising fact that she could live through all those short moment was enough to say that it is a formidable opponent. Fighting against his own shikai in his base state, it is a simple feat to say that even wihout one, it would be enough of a firepower for him to fight her wihout any of those fancy-dingle weapons held by those bloodied hands. Of course, when it comes to dealing with her blast of electricity, it was no doubt that it was an easy target, his Nasods flying on its way against the blast of electricity before smashing itself against the entire structure of the Nasod, the only surprising thing that it shakes her would be the survival of the Nasod, seemingly performed by using the basics of electromagnetism and was able to repel the blast to all directions, and using that concept, the blast itself would've cancelled out itself when it was repelled like a magnet that was being pushed away.

The earth screeches and grins, enough to simply blast right through his body before he flew away under the force of her stomp. Enough to say that it either fell into the category of wind manipulation, pressure manipulation or had went through an ordeal of vibrations to create such an effect. True, he may be almost a monster in terms of his own combative abilities in long range, mid range and short range, but when it comes to handling an enemy that specializes in physical combat and almost in unpredictable ways, it would be a hard task for him to catch their drifts in thinking ability and how they fight. Prediction and probabilities can be a feat to know what she would do next, but not all to say that he can literally predict everything, since everything goes between balance and chances, and one misstep can turn the tables to a much higher risk. As the vibration approaches, one little click on his tongue before the Nasods formed a triangular formation, and in that short moment, all he could do was to rely on fate. There is no time for calculations and reassurance where the attack could hit from and where, or even gauge how fast it comes and goes, it was an emergency to go through before these Nasods suddenly blasted out a surge of electricity, however, not a 'blast' type, instead, these electricities flowed across the air like delicate fishes, breaking down all the oxygen before him at a rate so quickly that every inch of oxygen would be burnt down into ozone, and these pressurized air would vanguished from existence and only leave a weaker form of vibration would've slammed into his body like a wind. How? Simply put, since it travels in air, when there is a lack of presence in oxygen, it would weaken and only particles would travel in the air that is clumped together, with no 'air' that supports in structure and forces it to break down into smaller sizes, hence why it was weakened.

His mouth had vomited blood, but more or less an attempt instead of having his ribcage broken since that he didn't have the ability to endure it if it was at its full power to slam right into his frail body just like that of a sick man. His body was like a ragdoll, thrown by the wind and landed above his feet when sent miles away by that one single attack. His legs were bent in an almost-kneeling position, blood seems to be slowly sprinkling down from his mouth and bled right under his chin, with each and every drop of blood that fell right from his mouth. His nose also played a small part, blood streaming down from his nostrils and mixed together with the blood beneath his chin, ended up in a trail of blood when touched by hand to wipe it away. It does look like a small attack, but his body isn't a type that gets hit easily as well, it is just a walking glass cannon who is capable of dealing tremendous level of damage beyond his powers could do, but in exchange for that power, he was weak and heavily reliant on his machines to do the hefty work. Sure, the vibrations weren't the type that can do harmful damages to one's body, but imagine having a glass, blown miles away and up the air, landing down against the ground with an impact that drags his physical body down, not to mention when his physical body was tampered by an ability Umi may have used, it seems to take into effect and even landing seemed like a painful journey. He'll be damned by this, if it didn't hurt. Grinning under the pain and fun of this 'journey', when Umi had finished making her 'words' of sorts, Hell, to reply with such joy and sincerity, his smile put forth above the skies and darkened the world around him. Logic and intellectual ability applies, but what happens if he abandoned that nature? By focusing all on his calculative prowess and ability in ranged combat, he would rather abandon all of his humanity and logic if he were to be defeated by his own weapon so easily. 'Ay, that was not of supposed dramatic turn of events as well, his body shook away from its balance, before giggling like someone who had lost a few screws in the head. In reply of such honesty from Umi, he couldn't help but to.. give back the favour she had said, like a gentleman he is to treat a lady in such a way.

"KUAHAHAHA! YOU CHEEKY BRAT! THAT'S IT. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT IT MEANS TO STAY IN YOUR PLACE, KIDDO AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU WILL KNOW THAT I SHALL STAY DOMINANT OVER YOU TO WIELD THOSE WEAPONS MYSELF!"

With her moving at top speed, his eyes followed her, each sound from each step, echoing from the earth's screeches with her foot that touched the earth gently, noise that produced ever so gently that picks up his ears' attention. Like wind that sounds the air, his mind was already running through an intense level of calculation, unlike how it usually does, at this point, playing it cool wouldn't help much longer, so.. This time, he would become the actual monster itself and exceeds his limits and expectations of his abilities. His cyberbrain would run through calculations, intensively faster than usual, so quickly and efficiently that it would make even put the supercomputers in shame, and so complex that even advanced calculators and machines would be ashamed of their existence in this mere cruel world. Exceeding what his eyes predict, while not completely accurate on its own, Hisao could make careful predictions of where she would approach at the most vulnerable point, and seconds before slamming her Deagles right against his chest, she would find herself rather in a tricky situation, it slammed against the likes of Nasods instead that went through its way to glide itself across the air and acts a shield to his chest area, where these guns slammed directly to the Nasods, barrels pointing at each other and went off at the same time, an equivalent power that blasted each other away with an utmost force. Casting dusts across the battlefield when equal power cancelled each other out and unleashed the wrath of its recoil, it was a mess in this hellhole.

However, in the midst of the dusts, it didn't meant that their distance was covered at all, with both of them still within the reach of melee combat, he understood the situation he was in. In order to react much quicker, he had to undergo and overwrite in his calculation system and re-calculate his surroundings again in order to adapt to it. Sure, his calculations are fast and could perform complex calculations faster than the eye could have a single second to start blinking, and one big old surprise just like any other fighters would've done in the haste, cranking the Deagle against his chin and fired an electromagnetic beam that wasn't a 'beam' at all, instead, it was broken down so much using electromagnetism to a point where it just became a 'wave' with no particles that fixes its physical form, but the fuzzy feeling about his chin was that it was not pain that surging through his jaws, instead, a light force of wind that simply gushes its way and pummels him away to the sky like a ragdoll. It was odd, for a moment that such a recoil can push him so high up in the air. The sky was.. a void, a darkness, a starless sky that had no living thing to begin with, perking the interests of many whackjobs with the researchers in Soul Society about the concept of 'Inner World' among shinigamis, as they are built accordance to their Zanpakutō spirit's will, and what 'will' was it that made Umi built this void-like world, nothing to see, nothing to glimpse, just a pool of blood and two individuals standing in between. What was the 'world' that Umi wanted to glimpse of? Questions that are left unanswered, will be cracked open by one who opened up the new world to his Zanpakutō Spirit. It was time for a showdown.

Falling down with an accelerating speed, he couldn't help but to grin at this.. 'thing'. Such stupidity to be moved that putting him in the sky would be a careless mistake, and above the air as he fall from the endless void, what she would find was a rain of electromagnetic orbs, formed by compressing the energy into a considerate amount where it forms a stable orb-shaped heat of electromagnetic energy, and itself? Produced under a mass amount and high rate akin to that of a minigun's, imagine Hisao falling at an accelerating speed, while under high velocity upon travelling down from the sky together with the Nasods, this could boast a slight increase in impact force by making use of the high velocity in the speed Hisao is currently travelling in, and would may as well leave a good ol' impact to the earth as each of these orbs finally blasts these bloodied floor to shreds like nothing in the face of these orbs that can bring shame to a rocket launcher. Of course, by using the basics of physics that the world provides, it makes a simple 'weapon' that boosts any attacks that relies on the effect of gravity to strengthen the impact force of anything that uses velocity and/or speed. In some sense, it doesn't go under the category of 'terminal velocity' since it constantly accelerates as it falls, and doesn't get locked by its 'max speed', which means if he were to fall from the earth's atmosphere to the sea? Well, there is a chance that the orbs may reach mach speed with extreme velocity and kinetic energy capable to creating a small crater due to how much impact force it boasts under that speed, of course, wihout being incinerated.

However, it doesn't end there so quickly as she might've expected. Before landing against the earth occurs, what he had planned was the 'rough landing', by using the Nasods to explode the earth beneath him before landing, the shockwave of the explosion creates a pressure enough to dramatically lower his impact force and velocity, together with a few more Nasods to boost himself upwards slowly to drop his falling speed, although it may be rough, his body eventually crashed into the earth like a plane who had lost one of its wings, rolling and sliding across the ground before flipping himself back into his place, one knee against the ground and the other with his feet implanted into the earth as his body continues to drag itself behind, with a finale that it ended with the ground crackling when the momentum had stopped his body from sliding backwards after the initial fall. Hisao's body wasn't severely injured from the fall, but his face had a couple of scratchers, clothes torn apart with small scratches opened up just about every part of his body, although his arms took most of the damage upon the landing. The bloody ground, floating dead bodies of childrens, these invisible earth had enough to create dusts, everything of existence that made up in this world. Hell, like he would care to know how it is like in this world, the inner world was twisted by both of their emotions, intertwined so powerful in a way that it affects the world and the view of it, the skies were never the blinking light, ever, to show him the 'way'.

"I hope you're in for a surprise, kiddo. Because you won't be seeing it with your own eyes so easily."

To earn his shikai, the only way was to make her surrender wihout needing to harm her pretty little face as well. He had learnt her name and talked to her, seen how it was used and equipped, armed with electromagnetic beams and energy enough to make even the toughest material to vanish from existence if used at full potential like Umi. Yes, he will end it once and for all, and no more 'game-playing' situation. His body was slightly off-balance, wavering around like a broken tool, though there is something that is slightly off about him. This was a typically rare situation, if it were to be put that way. Per say that his cyberbrain was typically modified for many types of purposes, there is one thing that those damned researchers added to his cyberbrain in order to improve their workings and can be considered to be an ability, and now, despite one of his most despised ability due to his trauma is now put into use, one in a trillionth chance, it happened in order to 'finish things quickly'. Because those researchers wanted to achieve the level of 'artificial godhood', they always mess around with his cyberbrain, genetics and anything that they can deal with to physically and mentally change his perception of reality, and one founding had his brain modified for a general purpose of 'destruction' to further their studies which Hisao had noticed, but never put into use of it so that those corrupted researchers will never have the chance to understand the capabilities of what they have implanted into his head, and of course, due to its extreme rarity and how rare it was used, nobody really knew its existence except for very few people whom are masters or experts in cybernetics, and Hisao himself isn't the only one.

'Hyperdrive mode' is what they have embedded not just his cyberbrain, but to his genetics and DNA as well through the use of drugs, successfully implanting to each and every part of his body for its full efficiency. Of course, it can be activated both conciously and unconciously, under Hisao's will to either activate or not, but given to its limited time, as much as he can say, the mode itself lasts for no more than 10 minutes [ 1 post ], and of course, in order to make up for that short time, the mode itself gives a very pleasant experience, that every aspect of his body, physically and mentally, would be dramatically improve. How? By entering its hyperdrive state, his cyberbrain would start producing extreme levels of testerone, modified for the hormones to die within a specific amount of time which is 10 minutes, while his body's nervous system would fire 5 times much faster than usual, which also improves his reaction level and calculation abilities, turning him into a superhuman being that makes up his weakness. However, in return for those kind of power, his mind became that of a robot's, emotionless and are focused in a single goal, the destruction of his target. While under the concious control of his, he would have the inability to express emotions and is stripped off of being able to have 'the state of mind' via feelings that are both positive and negative emotions. Not much to describe it since this was hardly researched by Hisao, however, using it is just a risk of his own trauma and falling off into the depths of insanity. Which means, he will just have to go through the pain of his mind being overwhelmed by intense level of production and activity that breaks through the limitations of an average shinigami of his own level.

His spiritual power, for every beings that have the ability to sense spiritual power, obvious changes can be sensed, from violet color to a mixture between black and violet spiritual power, seemingly to cast a 'darker' part of his persona, and most can feel the shivers in their spines and fears in their heart, and Umi was no different since even her had never witnessed such cases of using it. If she was caught off-guard, what she would realise that his feet would plant itself right against one of the Nasods, and not long before that, by using the concept of electromagnetism, it is possible that by using the earth's particles, he could detonate the electrons beneath his feet, together with the Nasod's propellation, his body would've flew under a speed beyond what himself could do, and further tapping into the usage of his hyperdrive's capability in enhancing his physical properties, his strength would serve as a 'booster' that mixes well with his intellectual abilities which applies the concept of vibration and the collective air, electrons that can be used as a 'physical platform' that forms underneath his feet which would cause friction using vibrations and attracts electrons under the frictional heat that the air particles produces, and when these electrons collects enough, the pressure would be enough to detonate each particles of electrons and create shockwaves step after step as his speed further increases as he moves. Of course, to the naked eye for average shinigamis, his body would've exceeded its limit and blasted itself half of mach speed, or simply put, subsonic speed/speed of sound, his body would blur out in one point and appear the other, and even for speed users, this is a fascinating achievement in using the atmosphere instead of supernatural creations to do the work or natural skill set to achieve such phenomena, rather, it uses the atmosphere to do most of the work for him.

In the speedy blur, what Umi found would be his palm smashing right against her gut in a close range, or close quarters combat, sure, even a light hit like this wouldn't be able to hurt a sturdy woman like Umi, but a little surprise was added into the mix, a surge of electricity that crashes right against her body and surging throughout skin, tip to toe, though it was never meant to be 'painful', instead, it was used to either paralyze her body or slowing down her body's physical speed, and leaving an impact to Umi's nervous system forces her body to react in a much slower rate for only a couple of seconds, but enough time to spare when under the last stand of his final attempt, his feet would stomp against the ground, creating a pulse of electromagnetic waves before Nasods bursted at full speed, each of the Nasods pointing at every of her limbs, from arms to legs, and even Umi's head would be pointed directly against her head, all of them? At a point-blank range where if she moves even inch would be her loss. It was a checkmate, nothing else. All perfectly planned in his head, possibilities calculated and cornered her where she won't be able to move wihout a single space to spare. Yes, all of that happened wihout hesitation, as a Zanpakutō spirit, she should know that this is the challenge of gaining shikai, not some half-assed fight for something so trivial. This is a fight of gaining more power, as their viewpoints are almost the same, Umi should understand him for gaining more power. Now, a checkmate, depending on the circumstances, these Nasods may be commanded to do something else, shoot or move.
