Vizard/Arrancar sparring ground!

"Oh yeah? Are you forgetting something? Cause we vizards got a little thing called shikai, too!" He yelled at his opponent in response to his insult. "You keep going on about how i have 'no chance', but you're all bark and no bite!" Colin's legs gained many small cut's on them from the first spear, making his whole lower body chilly. He ignored the cold signals in his legs, continuing to remain in his defensive stance. When Akuma came at him with three blades. He used his claws to fend off the two in Akuma's hands and tried to dodge the third in Akuma's mouth. Colin was able to fend off the two with only a few welts on his upper arms, extending his reach while blocking in an attempt to cut his opponent with his feathers. Akuma's mouth blade left a shallow slash mark in his chest, drawing blood.

When Akuma leapt away, Colin realized it was ready. reeling back, he fired off the first Airwave, it moving swiftly and silently. Then he fired off the second wave immediately after he saw the start of Akuma's reaction. As soon as he fired them off, he felt it.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" He cried out, trying to suppress it. However, it was no use. His inner hollow took control, making Colin exude a more hollow-like aura.

Hollow-Colin looked at his enemy. "Keeeee..." He screached, using the mask's beak. "I can't believe he was having a problem with this excuse for an arrancar... Well, Arrancar, you'll be happy to know we are alike. I two love torture, but unlike you, I give service with a smile!" Then Hollow-Colin leapt out at Akuma, charing an airwave in one hand, firing a cero out the other. The cero was fairly weak, meant to distract more than damage. After that, he followed up with the claws, quickly twisting his arm in a spinning motion, making the claws a sharp, lethal 2-pronged drill. He struck out with the drill, meeting Akuma head on. Ignoring the new minor cuts in his hip and right shoulder, forging on, laughing like a madman...

He was hit by the Airwave attack Colin used, but recovered quite quickly. He dodged the next Airwave and Cero Colin sent towards him. The next thing he saw was Colin coming at him like a drill. "ICE ARMOR!" Steel-hard ice covered his entire body, making protective armor. When Colin hit him, the ice stopped him short of hitting his actual body.

When Colin was dazed from hitting ice head-on, he took this time to tackle him in thousand-pound heavy ice, making a crater in the ground from the amount of force used. Then he got off and got rid of the ice armor, as it was slowing him down.

He attacked Colin with his 3 blades again, this time with a furious vengeance. He went at him viciously, holding absolutely nothing back. He was completely out of control. He also used Bala 4 times during this string of attacks.

"I SUMMON YOU, OH MIGHTY CLAWS OF THE DRAGON!! His swords, including his arm blade, changed shape. When they were done evolving, they resembled large claws that were attached to his knuckles. With his new weapons, he again charged Colin, attacking with reckless abandonment.

Hollow-Colin gave a wicked laugh as he felt the drill go through the ice.

"So, you are afraid of something! Well, what are you going to do about it??"

When he saw what Akuma did about, he laughed again, letting the arrancar press on him. He then simply stuck the drill into the ice again and used pterodactyl flight to make it weigtless but still allowing it to press down, resulting in nothing but a light touch on his skin. The crater was caused from the impact on the ground, not the impact on Hollow-Colin.

He made a screeching noise when Akuma discarded the ice, and grabbed two of the feathers on his mask. He made a much louder screeching noise as he ripped them off, greatly enhancing his own strength. He responded to Akuma's attack by firing an enhanced Airwave from his other claw and began spinning it as well. Then he met him full on as well, using his enhanced strength, but unlike Akuma, he knew exactly what he was doing. He met 3 of the bala with ceros of equal strength fired from his hand. However, that was all he was able to do at the present and simply cut the last bala open with his claws and leaping away as it exploded.

He struck back, gaining many small cuts on his upper arms and chest, as well as a diagonal slash on his right shoulder. When Akuma leapt back to make his claws, Hollow-Colin flash-stepped behind him and began attacking as soon as they formed. He made several feints, aiming right with one claw and hitting with his left. Faking at his waist and striking at the chest. He repeated this several times, his body beginning to ache and scream in protest. Thinking quickly, Hollow-Colin slashed out horizantally with one hand, then leapt at Akuma with a fully charged bala in the other hand. If he had a mouth, it would be in one crazy smile. He leapt back inches from Akuma, letting the bala fly freely at its target...

They were almost equals. They would be at a stalemate if not for the slight advantage Akuma had. However, his enemy was no slacker, what with his Hollow and Shikai. Formidable? Yes. Unstoppable? Certainly not. Despite his clear advantage in pure power and skill, Akuma felt tired. This battle had been going on for quite some time.

"This has gone on long enough. I know you have many injuries and wounds you have been ignoring. I also know, despite your clear reckless insanity, you feel the exhaustion from this battle. I will end things, here, now. Prepare yourself, for I strike with all of my power."

Akuma launched 2 Bala's, one from each hand. He followed up with a maximum power Cero, and 2 more Bala's. he then made several ice spears, 5 in fact. He launched them consecutively, each exploding into sharp-as-swords shards of ice that flew in every direction. He used Sonido to get behind Colin and charged him with all of his might. He attacked in every way possible, inflicting as many wounds as possible, big or small. At this point, he just wanted to cause as much pain as possible. He made 2 more spears of ice. With his new weapons, he used his claws as shields and spears as physical weapons. His left shoulder was injured during the assault.

He then used Sonido multiple times, as a way to confuse his opponent. Every time he did this, he launched another Ice Spear at his enemy. He finished this tactic by appearing behind Colin, launching 2 Bala's, and using his ridiculous speed to make a hasty retreat to about 20 feet away. After that, he covered himself in a thick armor of ice, preparing himself for what comes next...

Hollow-Colin laughed maniacly again, then suddenly stopped. He began thrashing and spasming.

No... I won't let you have it! Give it back... Now!! ARRRRGGHHH!

Hollow-Colin threw back his head and made an unearthly screech. Colin grabbed the mask, and began pulling with all his might.

"NO!.. You can't do this! You can't beat him! You'll die! You fool...!" Colin finally removed the mask, gaining complete control over his body, once again.

"Sorry. No one should face THAT monstrosity. I agree, this has gone on far too long. Either way, this ends here!"

Colin reflected on the situation as Akuma charged his balas. He had lost his mask, leaving only it's enhanced strength, for a little while at least. He still had his shikai. He was pretty much drained in matters of kidou and spirit energy. He only had a few flash-steps left before he would need to rest. That left his attack power, which was mostly intact still. Colin decided to use his attacks and use the flash-steps for last-resort usage. Plus his body was pretty much shot, so this would have to end soon...

Colin dove to the left to dodge the balas. For the cero, he faced it head on in a defensive stance, his blades taking most of the damage but still lightly burning the front side of his body. Namely his chest and shoulders. This caused the other injuries to cauterize, which is why Colin chose this block. The pain was excruciating for just a moment, and his body gave a small spasm. He then did something drastic. He pulled out two feathers at once. The pressure on his mind increased, and he saw his vision blurring for a moment. However, he reacted to the next two bala's by flash-stepping past them a micro second before they reached his body. He reappeared behind Akuma. The five ice-spears were also dodged by this, as they had been fired before Colin moved.


The next two ice spears Colin parried with his strength, pushing off the spears. As Akuma began trying to confuse Colin, he pulled another feather, the stress causing his heart to skip a few beats. However, he channeled the reiatsu, enhancing his senses and allowing him to spot Akuma in time to dodge the spears. His legs gained more small cuts, causing them to bleed quite profuselfy. The next two bala Colin prepared for and cut them, causing the to explode right in front of him, burning him to the point his eyebrows were gone. However, it cauterized his wounds and that's all he cared about.

As he saw Akuma leap away, he breathed a great sigh of relief. Then, he began steeling himself, taking many deep breaths. Ok. I have 13 feather's left. I'm going to absolutely hate myself for this later, but it's my only chance! Placing his right hand on his left arm, he gave a deep shudder, and removed 3 feathers. He screamed from the pain, beginning to black out. He fought it, and when he regained control he felt nothing but exhilaration. He flash-stepped, crouching now, under Akuma. He leapt up with his claws, then slashed down again. He repeated this six times, moving faster as he did so. Then he shoved his right arm's wrist right at Akuma's chest.

"Hey! You remember that feather from the start of the fight? Guess what! It's only a homing beacon!Take this, Eagle shot!"

He released the beam he had been holding in his wrist, directly at Akuma. As it did so, Colin flash-stepped behind Akuma, making a right-to-left diagonal slash at his back. Then he flash-stepped a few feet to the right, preparing himself. However, as he did so, his eyes blurred again, his body began giving small spasms, and he could feel pressure on his hear. Not now! Whatever had happened, this fight was nearing it's conclusion...

Colin scored a direct hit on Akuma with that Eagle Shot ability of his. When the smoke cleared, Akuma had dark burn marks on his tough scales. He hadnt been severely injured though. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone appear out of nowhere. His Reistu was that of a Vizard. Great, another one of these simpletons, he thought to himself. He saw this new enemy charge something up and send it straight at him. Instead of getting hit by another beam, he grabbed Colin and used him as a meat shield. He used ice to attach Colin to himself, turning him into a sort of body guard.

After the blast hit, he used his great speed to flee to about 50 feet away. "Who are you and how dare you interrupt my fight? You dare to take me on? You must know you cannot, for you attack cheaply, and with surprise. No matter. i will defeat you too. But first....."

Akuma sealed his Ressureccion, changing back into his sealed state. His snowy-white scales simply melted away, along with his tail. His armor changed to clothes, and his katanas and arm blade combined to form his standard Zanpakuto. His hair formed again, along with his sandals and gloves.

Now in his normal state, he could rest. He dropped to the ground, laying on his back. he made multiple layers of ice cover himself, and form a large dome above him. he was now protected by ice 10 feet thick.

The way the Vizored named Colin smirked, the way he acted as though he had won. How could he be so happy when he lost? He lay defeated, unconscious. He could not fight anymore, for he had pushed himself too far against an enemy he could not hope to win against. Colin had failed time and again to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent, who now stood over his body, laughing maniacally. Though it was a fierce fight, the only possible winner had emerged victorious. While Akuma believed the Visored to be foolish, he admitted to himself that Colin had been quite brave to take on someone as strong as him. He was a servant of the Espada, whom he would die for. This makes him very dangerous.

So the first Vizored is done.....that leaves the new guy. Though he seems extraordinarily similar in level of power to me. This might be tough....What am I saying? I am the almighty Akuma Aisudoragan!! I am a god!! He would have to think fast to take on this new guy. Though he could already tell the new player in this game of fatal chess was not as fast as him. Perhaps this game him an advantage. Though, this means that he is stronger in some other way....it mattered not, for Akuma would not give in.

The new guy laughed like a mad man as he put on his Hollow mask. When he bum-rushed Akuma, he broke his flimsy ice he had made in his sealed state. Akuma kept up with his opponent, half because he was faster, half because his blades length made it difficult for enemies to get close to him thanks to his Zanpakuto. Using Sonido, he got out of the way before he was struck by the lightning-like blast that came from the insane foe he know faced. Akuma kept a defensive stance, preparing himself for what comes next.
