ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

Ulv gave a grin as they got onto a better topic rather than him dancing around himself in a rather poor fashion to boot.
"I'm a Locksmith, and I'm a Locksmith" that was all he got as she stood up and, taking one of his dangos, ate the whole lot of them in a single bite, and then took away the empty bottle and plate to the kitchen. And finally she returned, almost intimidatingly slowly as she walked towards him and took a seat back down next to him. Far from before, Ulv was radiating a dense feeling of power and pride in it.

"To answer them both, I am Ulv Auber. The White Mask Buddha. My golden eyes are not just for show, I can see everyone's Inner Hollow, even ones that have yet to gestate. And I can see how far along you are with these hollows. So that I might offer my aid. No Vizard truly understands until it becomes hindsight. Even I did not when I first got her. Human nature is self-survival, after all. Why would we give that up? But you must not view them as an enemy. More, take pity on them for their lothesome situation they had no desire to be in"

[INSERT SNARK HERE]

Okuda watched the woman walk away, eating a stick of his dango sweets, before taking the empty plate and now empty bottle of sake away. He thought that it would be the end of it, so he decided he would sit and relax a bit in the seat that he had found himself in, puzzled by her stating that she was a locksmith. He wondered just what that meant in this context, but was unsure of such things as he was but a man very much out of his own time at this point and very much out of his comfort zone in such a place.

Okuda then watched as the woman slowly began to walk back towards him shortly after having left with the remains of his order. He could tell that she was trying to intimidate him with her gait and how she walked. He knew that she was powerful, something about her said as much now and only the truly powerful could hide that strength effectively, he had done a similar thing when he was still alive. Okuda watched her carefully as she slowly sat back down in the seat next to him and quickly garnered his full attention.

He listened as she spoke her name, that she was called the ‘White Mask Buddha’ whatever that meant. She then explained that she knew about Shinda-en because her eyes allowed her to see the creatures, even ones not yet formed. Okuda was not sure how to process this information, she herself being a...whatever he was, he did not know what to even call himself yet. “So...you’re like me then...whatever we are? You can see the monster that has decided to live within me? To torture me so, despite my wanting a somewhat normal afterlife?”

Okuda kept his voice low when he spoke, he did not want the world at large knowing about the hollow that dwelled within him lest he be taken out back and put down like a diseased dog. Okuda now had his left hand fully grasping the scabbard of his Zanpakutō, obviously in preparation for some kind of fight. He also began processing any and all means of egress and ingress from the seated position he was in, though his chances of making it out with minimal harm to himself and others or the business seemed slim at best...

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

Ulv just sort of stared at him.Even after he finished talking she just stared with a deadpan look of unbelief. And eventually she let out a sigh and reached out to grab him by the face. There was something terrifying about the grab, it was sheathed in an aura of mental pressure that seemed like it had already happened by stint of not being able to fail. A self-confidence so powerful that the very concept of failure was blown away by it. And then Ulv would get up and walk out, heading away from the cafe with measured but powerful strides.

As she walked, she released her reiatsu and had it explode across the Rukongai. Amber-coloured flame burst into life, not burning the person exactly, but filling the soul with a passion and love for life. Pushing down negativity, it offered a different path in life, one to see your goals through to the end. Instinctively, everyone knew how to resist it if they wanted, however. And as she released the power, her body changed, long blonde hair spilling out from her head, and a beautiful black dress so dark it seemed to absorb light from the surrounding area.

"Taking you back to Shin'o Academy. If you missed the entire seminar on Vizards, there is no telling what else you missed, and that's dangerous. I'll be talking with Commander Kyoraku about more stringent systems about the place to ensure everyone knows what a Vizard is and how to deal with becoming one if they do"

No Mercy.

Okuda was caught off guard somehow, be it her spiritual pressure change or her sudden speed. He did not expect it as his face was suddenly grasped by the woman. He was not sure why but she was dragging him through the Soul Society, talking about taking him back to the academy. With his free hand he tried to pull her hand off his face, though he failed quite obviously since she was stronger than him, that much was certain. He refused to give in though, instead he gripped his sword tightly and knew that the only way to be free of this wretched woman was to defeat her in a fight.

Okuda then suddenly drew his zanpakuto, swinging it hard at the woman’s wrist as it flew from the scabbard. He was going to remove her very hand if he needed to. Okuda was not going to be dragged around like a child’s plaything by anyone, that much he knew right off the bat. If he was able to free himself from her grip he would jump a few meters back, if he had cut her hand off he would take the severed hand from his face and toss it aside.

His eyes glinted, yellow with the signs of his Inner Hollow eager to fight this woman. He knew that the Inner Hollow did not like anyone trying to boss it around...outside of Asahi. His eyes were that of a skilled killer, someone who spent more than his fair share of time on the battlefield, wallowing in the blood and other fluids of war. Okuda then decided that for this fight he would show no mercy at all, he then gripped the blade of his Zanpakutō by the base of its blade and stared at the woman.

“Remember...you asked for this woman...Scorch the Earth, Asahi!” His Zanpakutō then began to glow red hot before suddenly taking on the form of a blade being forged still, its blade glowing red with its spine looking crusted and unpolished. He then took his hand from the blade and held it in front of his face, concentrating a bit. Soon however his face and hand were engulfed in black flames, his Hollow mask being formed suddenly, his pupils gold with black conjunctiva. He spoke not a word as he suddenly disappeared from sight, leaving only small whisps of flames where he had stood before.

He let loose a mighty swing from his blade. He wasted no time with this woman, his blade itself lit aflame, he wanted to show her who she had chosen to attack in such a poor and uncouth manner. He did not care what he was, he was a monster to himself. He hated the fact that his very spirit was tainted by the Hollow and the fact the woman was daring to say otherwise only angered the man more.

Well, this was certainly interesting. The man drew his sword to attack her, and while Ulv's wrist reflected it like he was hitting a brick wall, she did have to restrain the blowback. If that had happened, the reiatsu difference was liable to cause grievous damage to him. Still, he took care of grevious damage by releasing his Shikai - which was bad enough, given their location - and then his Hollow Mask on top of that. It was like he didn't know...wait, he didn't know about the Takeover that would come if he exhausted himself. Great.

Letting out a soft sigh, Ulv moved as he moved, so fast and fluid of footwork that it would be impossible for one of his skill to notice she had moved. Instead, it would seem as if he misjudged the distance between the two and struck at her too early.

"I only fight to the death, kiddo. So you better be prepared to kill if you take one more step" Ulv warned him, cocking her head softly and waiting for his reply.

Let the bodies hit the floor.

Okuda had killed before, he was not against the mere act of killing in a fight. Especially not when his mask was on, Shinda-en encouraged him louder than usual now. His blade rested on the floor, but with a sudden turn of his wrist the blade dug into the ground and he wrenched it up in a swinging motion, launching the debris now filled with his spiritual energy at the woman, a modified version of his Doryūsen. He watched as the rocks and other debris flew at the woman, his eyes tracking her as best he could now.

Once he was sure the woman was at least well within the cone of debris he made his next move, the blade reigniting its flames, now tainted black to show that Shinda-en wanted this woman on the ground...dead as much as Okuda wanted this fight over with. Okuda then concentrated and the flame around his Zanpakutō suddenly began to solidify behind him in five black orbs of fire. With a simple wave of his blade the orbs all flew towards the woman, each one taking a different approach, each seemingly acting on their own.

Okuda himself suddenly gripped the hilt of his sword again, and used his Shunpo and Shinsoku both to suddenly dash forwards, even adding on his Hi Kyōka Sokudo, the wisps of black flames creating a trail that followed behind him. As he approached he made nine sudden slashes with his Zanpakutō at the woman, each one aimed at one of the vital target locations in swordsmanship. Diagonally up, down, left, right as well as straight up, down, left and right, finally ending with a stab straight to the core of her chest. Each strike had the additional strength of his blade being coated in the black flames of his shikai and his mask.

After the attack he would instantly begin looking for the woman once again. The yellow orbs scanning the battlefield the two had made in the middle of the town they were in. His anger visibly causing his mask to begin to smoke now, or was that just a sign he was pushing his body to the absolute limits. It mattered not, as the ash from the fiery attacks was now beginning to rain down on the area around them...

A hand, pale in hue and translucent in texture would suddenly appear over Ulv's right shoulder. The warn,weathered green sleeved fabric of a tunic then followed as a second hand appeared at her left shoulder. In this second hand was held the finely woven handle of basket, the wooden strips a dark brown heavily contrasted by a red cloth that hung loosely around the rim. The rest of the figure would then appear behind Ulv, leaning towards her back as the bright red color of its cloak seemed to fade in as the figure manifested itself into reality. The head of the figure leaned to Ulv's right ear, it's face hidden from on lookers by the hood of its red cloak. Quietly it spoke, the warmth of breath reflecting off Ulv's ear as the air gently vibrated with the sound. As suddenly as it had appeared the figure was gone. The entirety of the event had only been a few seconds, so quick that one would be right to question whether it had happened at all. The only evidence that it had actually occurred was the basket that had been in the figures left hand, now laying at Ulv's feet.

Inside the basket were a dozen muffins, buttery and warm. They sat atop a red cloth napkin that lined the entirety of the basket. A note written in German sat with them, but the buttery texture of the muffins had smeared the writing so that the message left was incomprehensible.

Well ok then. He didn't answer her verbally, but did take another action after she told him not to. If he was prepared to kill then he was prepared to die. And if he was prepared to die then who was Ulv to stand in the way of such a desire? She wasn't going to hold back on the strength of the blow, but maybe she could limit it's size so as not to deal so much damage to the surrounding infrastructure, maybe? There was only one way to find out, and so she would march towards such a goal.

Not at all noticing the muffins or the appearance of the muffin delivery girl, Ulv let him flick his debris at her, only for it to be caught in a barrier of swirling wind, and then Ulv snapped her hand forward, using her Palms Of The Wind in response to his flame orbs. The sudden blast of wind was as strong as a T7 Tornado, though she focused it into the street so the buildings were not damaged, it still roared down with incredible force, blasting so fast that it created a Void Zone, ripping all the oxygen from the air, something which was bad both for flames and people who needed to breathe. Though the kinetic force like being hit by a truck carrying smaller trucks that were in turn carrying slabs of concrete might also be a concern for anyone hit by it.

Fight OVER

Okuda watched, in mild horror, as his orbs were blown away by the wind and the tornado suddenly sent him flying. Luckily the wind was so strong that he never got hit by the brunt of the storm, instead being sent flying into a nearby building, crashing through several walls, badly hurt but alive. However his mask had gotten caught on a wall along the way and was ripped off by the sheer force of the winds and the pressure exerted on him against the walls. Okuda laid in some rubble, his Shikai also having been deactivated, bleeding from various spots and his Shihakushō also torn in many spots.

Okuda was about to try to stand up when the basket of muffins suddenly flew at him, the wind still blasting hard and hit the redhead in the face. Groaning a bit the man wondered how he was still alive, as a muffin managed to land on his head somehow having freed itself from the box. He was barely lucid and awake, even Shinda-en was surprised at the strength of the woman, sure he knew she was strong but he did not expect her to be that strong.

Slowly he reached up and brushed the muffin from his head, he then grabbed his Zanpakutō and slowly sheathed it. He knew that he could not yet stand up to the woman, he slowly walked out of the building, obviously no longer in his Hollow-fied state, barely a threat at this point...if he ever was one to this woman, he then glared at her, his eyes back to their usual sapphire hue as he did so, wondering what she would say or do next...

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART

Blasting him down the street, he survived, which was to be expected. The Palms were among the weakest thing in her arsenal when she didn't have her Storm Regalia, and he was hardly weak, having gotten his Shikai. But, at the same time he was in no fit state to fight, and Ulv would acknowledge this if he surrendered. Killing incapacitated people grated her honour, and besides, it was bullying from the start. He had less than no chance of victory against her, and needed to rely on her mercy just to survive the encounter, let alone anything else.

Still, she decided to show him something good, and smiled. A few hundred meters stretched between them, a fair distance that would take even a skilled shunpo user several steps to cross. Ulv, started to move, and then she arrived in front of him, more akin to teleporting than any actual movement that could be done by a person.
"So. If you are ready to kill then you are ready to die. I'll make sure to have a sufficiently stupid epitiat on your gravestone. Something like 'Here lies dumb-ass; he couldn't guage his opponents worth shit' or something like that"
