1 vs 1 Fight (ML)

[martamos]

Malus growled as he went keeling over and was then kicked in the stomach. His Hierro protected him from serious damage but he still got the wind knocked out of him.

As he went down he rolled coming back up in a crouching possition and bringing his blade up pressed his other hand on the flat of the blade for support used the other flat to block Trigekke's attack. The attack was strong and jared both his arms but he felt a feeling of satisfaction when the red glow on the dragon design spread further up the blade.

He pushed back and away from Trigekke then parrying his apponants next attack from a further distance than before, the dragon's glow spread higher.

Swinging his Zanpakuto in a great arch and taking one step forward he made to strike the Sinigami on the head but at the last second used Sondio and flashed himself behind Trigekke aiming another Bala at his back this time at close range.

[trigekke]

Trigekke flexed his entire body backwards to avoid the first swing but there was a red flash and before Trigekke could react, a bala hit him in the face sending his entire body flying across the dojo and skidded across the floor. His face was bleeding and his sunglasses were broken revealin his pale green and golden eyes. Trigekke lurched up body first and flung foward, arching his body while his blood spilled on the floor in drops.

Trigekke wasnt one to get caught up in the rush of battle but that particular shot sparked something inside of him. His eyes now burned with a fiery conviction and his body language became confident. He laughed out loud and reveled in the thrill of battle as his muscles flexed and relaxed. "I guess you caught me on a good day, Usually a blow like that wouldnt cause me to be like this but I guess its your lucky day." He smiled a wicked grin and gripped his staff causing black and green flames to start leaking from the staff like an engine letting out steam.

Trigekke pointed his staff and the flames converged at the point forming a small ball the grew to the size of a grapefruit. The Fireball launched at an intense speed and anything it would come in contact with would explode with momentus force that would injure even the higher levels of shinigami or hollow. Trigekke dashed in and struck at his opponent again releasing another fireball before stabbing the staff in the floor and causing a torrent of flames 30 yards in diameter and 10 yards high. Trigekke then Threw his staff and flash stepped to grapple his opponet to bar any movement.

[martamos]

The flying ball of fire swept towards Malus at an emence speed, but not fast enough. He performed two quick Sondio manovering himself around the attack not even raising his sword.

Trigekke was ready for him striking down with his staff. Malus blocked the attack with both hands on his Zanpakuto though once again he felt the joints of his arms creak uncomfortably. The glow on the dragon weapon spread even higher now three quarters full.

The next fire ball was quicker and at closer range and Malus had to lean back t capasity in order to dodge the blast. Not wonting the right himself to close to Trigekke he let his feet leave the ground and placed his left hand on the floor nad flipping over to stand a good eight feet from the Shinigami.

However his apponant wasted no time attacking again slamming his staff down and releasing a massive burst of his unique coloured flames. Malus had to Sondio himself back against the wall to dodge that but he could feel the burn on his expossed arms which felt singed.

The man did the strangest thing, he through his Zanpakuto at him. It was odd but Malus had no trouble batting the thing away from him. The Dragon's glow spred even higher.

Trigekke was on him then trying to push him back but Malus did not want close combat. Thinking quickly he took in a beep breath of air and keeping Trigekke at a distance with a few swipes of his blade jumped onto the wall.

"Irradiar!" he muttered and released another blast red tinged heat radiation at the mans face.

Sondioing twenty meters behind Trigekke he smiled and raised his free hand in a claw like gesture. A crimson Cero formed in his hand and with in seconds was released as a collosal beam of red energy.

"Having fun?" he asked coldly as the crimson Reiatsu illuminted his face in a ghoulish light.

[trigekke]

The same heat fluctuation left his opponents mouth but Trigekke was ready this time and did a standing barrel roll to the left to avoid the heat blast as best he could with out getting to far from his opponent. The heat passed by his face and all the hair that was closest to the fireball became really hot like a hairdryer had just blown past him. His opponent was no longer on the wall causing Trigekke to spin around until his opponent came into view.

A ghostly red glow was forming in his hand as it illuminated the room. A cero came bursting forth, forcing Trigekke to actually flash step this time to evae the shot. His opponent asked him if he was "Having fun?" Trigekke laughed to himself and stepped into a fighting stance. "If you have to ask then I guess your not having as much fun as I am." Trigekke opened his palms and dashed in with a flurry of punches. He made every effort to avoid his opponent's blade but he also did everything in his power to bar his movements.

Trigekke's staff had been moving quickly and silently this entire time and when Trigekke had engaged his opponent it flew in from any available blind side and struck Malus from behind in a flurry of shots. The staff moves at a speed just under flash step and hit just as hard as if it was being wielded. If Malus turns to defend against the staff then Trigekke would use his Drunken style boxing to grapple his opponent. If Malus sonido's then Trigekke would follow and so would the staff.

[martamos]

It was rare that Malus found it hard to keep up with his opponant but right now he was struggling. He Sondioed several times to avoid Trigekke and his flying weapon but that only gave him a partial break from there assult but soon Trigekke would follow and his polearm soon after.

Taking advantage of his Hierro which was as hard as steel he held his Zanpakuto behind his back flat to him and moved his body trying to block the poles blows or avoid them completely. While doing this he use his free arm to blow his opponants attacks, he could not do so perfectly but his Hierro was strong enough that every blow he blowed and every hit he took would ot only hurt him but Trigeeke as well.

The pole Zanpakuto missed his blade once and struck his side with emence force, he felt one rib crack. Growing angry he gripped the handle of his Zanpakuto fermly knowing that with the blows he had taken the blade would now be fully charged.

Channeling his Reiatsu through his blade he swung it in an arch over his body crying "Estallido Sol!". As he did so the blade released a massive arch of crimson Reiatsuthat grew larger the further it got from his body. He had arched the blade from the small of his back to the ground before him so that the great arch of energy would hit both targets either side of him.

[trigekke]

Trigekke's fists began to bleed as he kept up his flurry of punches. It was like his opponent had steel or stone under his skin. The staff's gem grew dull as it fell to the ground. Malus yelled out and his blade released a red reitsu in a stream linear with the blade. Trigekke moved to the side to miss the massive arch of his opponents swing and watched as the nearly full crescent expanded and ripped the dojo in half. The rietsu smashed upon Trigekke's staff but it was made of such a dense allow that it would be fine under these conditions.

Trigekke took the opportunity to grapple his opponent just as he finished his arch, gripping the wrist of his sword hand behind Maluses back and leg locking his opponents back most leg to force him on his stomch on the ground. Trigekke was just as deadly with his hand-to-hand as he was with his sword and his many years of learning drunken boxing gave him superior manueverability on the floor when it came to grapples. "Your skin may be like stone but I wonder if your joints are?" he said as he attempted to dislocate his opponents sword hand.

[martamos]

Malus felt a acke in his joints that tore through him like fire. He tried to resist but felt only a little give in his opponants hold on him. Suddenly a smile curved Malus's lips. Why not I had been planning it anyway....

Gripping his Zanpakuto furmer in his hand he muttered softly, "Arder..."

At once his Zanpakuto errupted into flame like Reiatsu engulfing both the blade and then Malus himself. The Mass of Reiatsu grew greater in size distorting his shape and illuminating what was left on the room in a horrific light.

As the flames clears he through off his Shinigami assalent with a great swipe of his black scaled arm.

Every inch of his body was now covered in glossy black scales from the bird like talons on his feet to the twin horns on his head poking out through a mane of thick black hair streching down to the center of his back.

His cloths had been ripped away save for a pare of loose black trousers, his Hollow hole in the center of his chest was now clear for all to see.

His hands now ended in inch long claws each one deadly sharp as was the three inch spike that protruded from his shoulder. The features of his face remained the same save for its new scales and its eyes which where they were once white were now black and the pupil had elongated resembling now the eye of a dragon.

Malus looked upon his body lazily paying little attention to his opponant. Finished with his mock inspection of his form he crocked one long clawed finger at Trigekke invighting him to attack him.

"You insinuated that I was not having fun Shinigami," he said his voice now akin to a low growl, "lets see if I can change your mind...."

[trigekke]

The flames engulfed Trigekke before he could react and the only thing he could do was roll off his flaming opponent and roll around on the ground to put ot the flames. Trigekke stood up with his cloths all charred and ragged and burn marks on whatever skin was bare at the time. He had constantly burned himself during practice with his shikai but the added reitsu made these flames sting a little. His eyebrows were now barely even there and Trigekke was not pleased. He kicked his staff up and stepped into a aggresive stance and faced his opponent.

Trigekke looked and blinked his eyes a couple of times before looking again. "Your not a shinigami are you?" he said with a blank expression. "Well it makes sense now why your skin felt so tough. Regardless, this fight wont be ending anytime soon." He decided that hand to hand was no longer the best desicion considering his opponents body was now much to jagged for such thoughts.

Trigekke fired a emerald and black fire ball at his opponent before dashing in to purse Malus. He would fire 4 more fireballs when he was in range for a sure shot which was about 3 yards or less, making sure to block any attacks he can mid pursuit.

[martamos]

Malus smiled in amusement at his opponants oncoming attacks, but his did not move. Flexing his claws he muttered, "Garra de Dragon"

Instantly his hands became engulfed in flickering flame like crimson Reiatsu, his claws glowing like coals in a fire. Holding his ground he watched as the first attack came at him, swipping out wared with both his hands he displed the attack with burst of crimson light.

Not wanting to Sondio around at this point he moved in a spinning motion slashing through each of the next four fire balls like the one before them.

Coming out of his spin he whipped his tail around, the bladed end aimed for the Shinigami's legs. Not waisting time he Sondioed above the man and taking in a quick breath of air and muttering, "Irradiar!" he let loose a torent of red tinged heat energy large, faster and hotter than any before and now not in the least bit draining to his strength.

[trigekke]

(The fireballs are little balls of explosive fire not just fire. They blow up on contact with kinetic force rather then just bursts of fire and they are highly volatile to the point that any significant force sets them off. Just letting you know since you became essentially immune to them.)

Malus ripped through his fireballs with bursts of crimson rietsu like they were mere embers off a campire. Trigekke watched his opponent as he sonidoed and stepped into a defensive stance. The sound of his opponent speaking made Trigekke look up only to jump to the side to avoid the impact of the blazing heat. Trigekke's legs didnt make it out on time and the force caused him to go skidding across the floor. His legs felt like they were on fire as 3rd degree burns now were showing through the bits and pieces of his pants that had been burned off.

Trigekke stood up and faced his foe with his staff held upright like a large katana. His eyes blazed as he stepped into a agrresive stance and the gem began sporatically vibrating as the jagged white strip began revolving around. Trigekke started letting out his reitsu in a high amplitude as he tightened his stance. He flash stepped and rained down upon his opponent with a flurry of high force blows from any and all directions, flash stepping all the while. In the moments he could be seen, the image of a mask flickered on his face for not even half a second before he flashed again.

(Not viazard mask, it has something to do with his spirit and bankai. This is the prebankai symptoms before he learns his bankai which he hasnt done yet.)
