It Comes From Within

Hayden eyes were bloodshot slightly as he felt the lightning leaving his control, it taking on some type of corrupted look and feeling that well to be frank pissed him off further. He felt the energy striking around him in such away that it felt like it was trying to box him in some how, like this was an attempt to cage him within the area. He wouldn’t doubt whoever this is they were strong, stronger then him by leaps and bounds at that. However, it was his job no duty to avenge the lives lost by this madman and he intended to do so to his very last breath if that was what it required of him today. His eyes looked around very briefly at the lightning wondering how well his body would be able to adapt to the surrounding area- lightning on his left and right side perhaps behind him. he had no where to go but forward so thats what he would do.

He shifted his feet entering into his counter-offensive slayer attack stance, his right foot pushing forward slightly shifting his weight to the right and forward every so slightly. His left side seemed to be a bit more loose however like it was in a liquid form but still hard as ever, his left foot sliding back to steady his stance for whenever the male might attack judging from his quick changes in stance he assume he was about to take off. Fast. None the less Hayden readied himself from the onslaught he would have to deal with- but he had a trick up his sleeve that if he played his cards right would work. He didn’t need to go and try to muscle this guy, it was like that hollow all over again. He was going to use this bastards own kinetic force against him.



Hayden expect him to be fast but to move at the speeds he was producing was damn near mind boggling, he braced himself quickly focusing his Reiatsu in two places; his feet and hands. As the blade neared him he knew he would have little time to think- he needed to act and thankfully he could. The reiatsu the was in his hands was meant to keep his blade in his hands firmly while allowing him to move a bit quicker, their blades clashing but not for long for you see this is where his stance came in handy. His loose left side was able to make it to where the attacker would be forcing down on him but to the left allowing him to esstientally to parry to the left but keeping their momentum so they would just strike the ground. The Reiatsu in his feet acted as a sort of stablizer to keep him from tripping with the force doing their job flawlessly- however since the man would be forcing the attack through till the collision he would bring his right knee up just as he was dashing away. He wanted to leave him with a parting gift- maybe it didn’t hurt alot but it got the message across; He would not bow.


It seemed the bastard had jumped away and at quite some distance enough for Hayden to catch a breath. He narrowed his eyes wondering what he was doing as his sword was smashed into the ground ripping it apart, yet as he saw the death matter begin to rip the ground apart around him he scoffed. He purposefully let the ground for a moment let him drop before suddenly rising back out of the pit like a leviathan emerging from the sea. He was floating just slightly above where the ground had used to be, he didn’t even bother to look down or around simply setting his eyes on the man. He would know if the lightning changed around him, it was after all still his despite the corruptions that may be within it. He began to shift his stance into his first stance he had taken when they first met, his sword pointed outwards to his back as it rested on his left hip slightly in a menacing stance.

“Don’t think you can bury me yet- you said you claimed those souls but all I see is the raving of a mad man. Despite however powerful you are- you hurt people I cared about and for that I will end you.” He promised softly but firmly as they stared at each other for a moment. It was his turned to attack so just like him he focused his reiatsu blasting off like a jet straight at him before suddenly activating his shunpo flash stepping to behind him. He was fast for someone of his caliber extremely so- maybe not on a super powerful level but way faster than someone of his normal level. His hand shot out quickly as a harden cast of lighting reiatsu formed like a javelin over his arm- he didn’t bother to throw it rather crashing it directly into his back. The reiatsu would exploded slightly in it’s attempt to stun the or paralyze the man’s heart at least for a moment.

He then activated his flash step again this time appearing to his right as his left hand shot out intending to grab his face and push it into the ground at high speeds. The move was quick as he dragged his face across the breaking ground for only mere moments- it was then he let go of the man’s head letting out a roar intending to cast him across the field into one of the buildings. When this encounter was done he would float into the air slightly trying to stop the current storm to end the corrupted lightning and bring about a less corrupt version. He may actually survive this yet.

absences of the vindictive left only those who crawled under the thumb of others, they waited to be ordered and killed for the monsters that held their heads high and kept their hands clean ... and yet they called wolf a monster? the world was always shifting to him his mind was conceiving the way things where and no matter what happened it wouldn't change, the vindictive like this boy where to little .. they were rare and though their resolve was admirable it would die with them.

Wolf felt the second the knee connected with his face, it was strong but the boy was simple, no fancy shit just a crushing hit that meant nothing. the ideal of drawing blood was pointless even harming this man was something beyond the boy, he was impressive but he was outmatched. His cocky attitude however seemed to show the mans own hidden darkness, a fancy of being something greater, wolf couldn't help but scoff at the boy as he walked from that pit. His sword raised to the man pointing at Wolf like he was to be its next prey, Hayden's words were fierce intense to the point of shaking wolfs oppression, becoming a monster himself and show darkness what to fear, and what an ideal it was. Wolf Smiled breaking into a hysteria, laughing at this newly made beast. his words were hilarious to wolf for no matter how many times he heard people speak of power he could only imagine how weak they felt to speak of power. The ideals of strength were pathetic to wolf the true thing people sought was something to fulfill their longing. And as he stood their looking back at this boy the pure amusement bursting forth as he was in near tears with laughter it became clear that words meant to wound where backed by a fruitless endeavor.

this newly formed lance crushed through his back piercing the bones crushing around it even ripping through the mans heart before continuing through the other side of wolfs torso.The mans face seemed to drop his laughter abruptly stopping as his eyes turned strict and unyielding the defying frown forming as he turned his brow arching as he looked int this boys eyes. The reiatsu crackled and spurred within the wound looking to spark upon and tase his heart, with lightning that's tinge would quickly start becoming black, wolfs death matter seeping into it, as the unaffected wolf stare at the kid the wound healing around the lance. It wasn't much of a technique but not many others had the guts this kid did ... it was a shame wolf now may have to rip said guts from him.

"I was laughing boy, best you apologies. "

But instead of words the boy continued his assault the arm grasping wolf face the man letting out a grunt of disapproval as he allowed his body to go limp and crash down with the boys hand, Wolfs own hand griping onto the arm as he lay there the grip alone was enough to leave indents where the muscles sunk around it even after the hand was gone. But this wasn't the thing he wished to do, no for as his hand clasped the boys arm the darkness seeped within. By condensing his Death matter to a molecular level then using his very touch to relay it through Hayden's skin cells into both his body wolf could only smile. The boy launched him sending Wolfs body rag dolling into a nearby decrepit building, But as the man approached from this throw a simple tap of wolfs recovering forms toe upon it would leave this monument exploding outwards. Leaving wolf dropping backwards to an upside down position, the reiatsu on his feet like Hayden's catching the very air leaving wolf dangling that shit eating grin on his face as he stared back watching his opponent try and quell this storm. Rubble was flying all around him but disintegrating upon touching him... how weak it was.

Within an instant of rising the effects of Wolfs death matter driving within Haydens systems would be felt, the dark essence would quickly expand spiraling through this mans right side elapsing the entirety of his arm from shoulder to each fingers point .... and then it would twist. Without a doubt unless this man could somehow pry in and get that energy out which ... to say the least was near impossible for this boy the death matter in his arm with rip its bone apart, breaking it in more that 20 places dislocating the shoulder and snapping each finger. But this wasn't all, for as soon as this task had been complete like an anchor the arm would intend to drag Hayden from the skies crashing to the ground bellow its weight exceeding that of a small building as the density morphed changing to wolfs will.

"I'll take that apology now."

His words echoed out as he let himself fall through the air the wind gliding around him as he swan dived through it, his feet touching the ground as his mid air barrel roll was complete the force of hitting the ground though? it would ring out smashing the dirt up in spirals either side of him. The mans presence alone was growing as his spiritual pressure climbed, enough so that even breathing may be difficult for someone like hayden, this was the true power of a monster. With a tilt of his head and a lift of his right hand the earth would again begin to shake, but this time it was not the ground colapsing ... it was moving. The earth he had collapsed in smashed together being force into bonds with one another by wolfs death matter, growing and growing until finally Wolf had formed something that rose through the air the size of a small meteor, shifting overhead of Hayden within mere moment, the boy more than likely unable to move due to the anchor that was his useless arm and wolf pressure alone making it hard form him to run. And then it dropped, this mini meteor made of the landscape around them, now crashing towards the boy who had stood up to death, if it hit? it would surly crush him for though not as dense as a real meteor it was still by far enough to rip this boy apart beneath it, running was no option for even if he did wolf was already acting.

His other hand raised upwards the landscape around them had played witness to many a battle .. and many metals buried beneath its depth and stabilizing it. And within the short time of this meteor dropping wolf had raised it all from its confines and sent poles of it pelting forth like harpoons coming in all directions intent on impaling the boy, even if it did though he'd still live for wolf intended no organs or any major arteries to be hit and as a master of killing he knew just where to strike to hurt but not kill ... and he was aiming over one hundred poles for all those parts, be it the legs or parts of the torso all intent on ripping into him if he managed to stop this death ball above, this boy was done. the verdict returned ... and wolf had already decided his sentence. And as he walked forth judgment was to come, and as his hand would rip forth intending on ripping through the boys chest and allowing wolf to wrap his hands around the boys childish heart.

"I underestimated you kid ... but your still weak."

Hayden was unapologetic in his attacks towards the man, no the monster before him. Each attack he had delivered showed his hate towards the man who was before him. It was true when someone stares into the abyss the abyss itself stared back at them, when fighting monsters take head to not become one yourself- yet slowly Hayden had slipped into the hole becoming the thing he was fighting. All he wanted was that man's head before him so this could be done with, yet he knew he had to keep his wits about him this fight was far from ever. However, suddenly as the man touched his arm he knew something terrible was about to happen to him. This wolf fellow was a true monster and he didn't put anything past this man. It was strange to see his heart reforming already and having it not stun the man what's so ever- but he didn't have time to reflect on it as a searing pain and sharp cracks was heard throughout his arm.

Hayden let out a howl of pain as sharp cracks made themselves known loudly, down his arm and up he felt the breaking of bones from the condensed energy. It was the most painful thing he had felt in well a while actually he felt a tugging as well that was accompanied by the pain. This brought his memories back to a old saying he heard once, a wolf would chew his own leg off to survive. For some strange this reason this kept playing in the Shinigami as the cracks resounded throughout his body. The tugging he felt began to fight it but as he heard the man voice something snapped within the Shinigami. Anger began to consume him as all that built up emotion from the past two hundred years finally released. He let out a roar as he lifted his Zanpakutō to up the huge blade gleaming knowing what it would be ordered to do. In a snap of a moment be brought the blade down severing the broken and useful arm from his body as it fell to the earth beneath them. His eyes locked onto the embodiment of death eyeing him down as he breathes heavily, this was the do or die moment as he was just able to get himself suspended in air before Wolf.

"So hell with you and your Apology!" He yelled as he saw the man begin to descend downward, but just as he let the words out he felt a overwhelming spiritual pressure, only just barely able to keep himself suspended. As he watched the air begin to form above his head he growled sheathing his blade. He wouldn't need it in fact he barely had the power to wield it with one hand as of now, but he did have one trick one perhaps saving grace that could work. As the Meteorite began to come towards him he knew he had to stop re destruction this thing might cause was simply to high to risk dodging it- in fact he was willing to bet he couldn't. So he tucked his arm in summoning the last bit of his strength into his arm feeling it to quickly become in case in metal. It might be his last stand but he refused to go out quietly.

Suddenly around him he saw the ground rip around him cords of all types beginning to make themselves known. Shit. He looked around quickly before grabbing where his arm used to be, he might be able to lessen the damage that he might take but not negate it. He focused his reiatsu around him in dozens upon dozens of pulsing reiatsu balls from his body as he let out a yell practically depleting his Reiatsu. These balls would be able to stop quite a few of the chains and since they acted like small bombs he would be able to take out more then a few cables with one ball.

"Slayer Magic: Raging Blast!" He yelled as he then turned around to look at the meteor, he heard the words of the man below him taunting him. He was not dead yet, his arm may be gone but he still had his legs and a arm. His arm tucked back as he summoned every last bit of strength within him, going off pure willpower and stubbornness at this point he blasted upwards as he cocked his metallic arm back. Do or die Hayden, do or die.

He pushed his arm out with a powerful yell just as he was about to collide, his mouth yelling as his let out the last bit of his strength to try to break the less denser meteorite. "Iron Dragon Lance!" He yelled as he felt his arm beginning to break in a few areas but through willpower he was able to push through the meteorite effectively splitting it at the cost of all his strength and power. Suddenly he felt light headed as he began to float to the ground feeling two cables pierce his leg and one deflect off his metallic arm- thankfully the balls had managed to do a number on the cables so he got out of that relatively well but as he floated down his eyes closed. He was tired. So tired. Suddenly he felt something go through his chest not small like the cables but rather... Wolf just punched his hand through Hayden's chest gripping his heart. He began to cough blood, this was bad.

"Y-you.." Was all he was able to get out in that small instance, his arm reaching out to grip his neck but only barely. His metallic arm was now gone left with only his bruised and beaten flesh.

the resonating sound of ones heartbeat collectively made the world around them seem so small. The beat and thump of ones heart strings was something to hear ... but to feel their every movement was something entirely different. His hands felt cold around the beating organ, for such a thing that bred life it seemed so small in comparison ... maybe this is the reason for the darkness encasing men like them.

His eyes looked upon the boy as he watched him try and move, the kid was resilient .. stupid but resilient, to be capable of doing something so incredible for a weak child, to cut that arm free this boy was something else. even as his hand tried to encapsulate wolf throat all he'd receive was a snarl, all before the man drove his knee in to the side of the failing boy just bellow the armpit, probably crushing his ribs inwards the bones them self probably puncturing the boys very lungs making even fighting for breath and talking a task far to impossible. His hand pressuring against this heart as he lean in shouting within the mans face.

"Stop, don't make me fucking kill you boy!"

Within seconds the mans scowling face turn shaking at this joke of child, no matter what he never backed down... he refused to be caged. And now Wolf could only find respect for him, but even respect tread the line of disappointment. For all wolf could see in this kids eyes was anger, all he could smell wasn't fear but a lack of want, like this boy had no worry for death but embraced it so damn willingly, that and the smell he had missed for so long but could never forget. stupidity and bravery aren't the same and even wolf questioned which side of the line this boy walked upon. His free hand reached out drawing around the boys head as he dragged it in placing his forehead against the boy the black energy threading through the man once more ... but this time it didn't break him.

No, it shot straight into his neural pathways linking the conciseness of wolf and this boy some of the mans immediate memories flooding into the boy, be it all those he had ripped apart the horror of watching the only person he loved die, her smiling face all he could truly remember, and all the loneliness that engulfed him as he sat within that throne of a killer... or that one memory he wanted the boy to see. The square filled with people all of them watching laughing as a young girl was ripped apart, the faces familiar for they now lie at the feet of these 2, men and woman who watch a girl be dug into and killed chained screaming for someone to show her some kindness but none came for her ... for the same girl wolf had held not so long ago.

"You did good kid, you did good."

With those words he drew back his head ... but not his power. The death matter ripped forth pulsating through this child ripping into his heart on a cellular level till it literally infect the very blood he held within him, the black essence merging with Hayden's very DNA morphing and twisting every molecule within the man. This would probably send him screaming in horrible pain as his heart burst and continuously reformed until finally .... it was literally made from part of the substance itself, regulating the flow of death matter into the boy constantly. Wolf stare to the man before drawing him close once more this time no sign of respect tinging his face but a seriousness that could not be held back

"Stay away from my daughter. "

And with those words he'd throw the boy, sending him reeling into the chasm he had recently formed to a drop of almost ten kilometers deep. Enough to kill normal people, but with this energy now in Hayden's body he'd begin at a very slow speed regenerating enough at least to keep him alive despite the horrible injuries he'd sustained, maybe even regrow that arm of his. But most of all it would allow him after colliding with the ground to sit there still alive ... every bone in his body broken and in so much pain it would be unbearable sure ... but alive. And with that wolfs hands retreated to his pockets, collecting a smoke and his lighter with his blood stained hands, letting the inhaling of his cigarette sooth him whilst he walked away from this massacre ...wolf was done here.
