With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
Malus felt a shiver run down his spine, he took in a deep breath taking in the smoke. The Dragon in him was liking this woman she was turning this building into a Bavairium for him.
Still he did not like the look of that tornado of flames. It seemed to provide an absolute defense for her. Still it would not be permanent and if this next move failed he always had his other option.
Jumping back to a safe distance Malus raised his hand in a claw like gesture. A crimson Cero formed amazingly fast in his palm then fired in a colossal blast at the Vizard. Now he would see the limit of the Vermin's shield.
With even more force than before, she allowed the firery tornado to burn everything it touched. It now stood large on the ground, and from a further away distance, Malus threw a Cero. Almost simultaneously, Rin controlled the spiraling flame and launched it towards Malus's Cero.
"Ha!" she yelled out as she forced the giant tornade rapidly spinning out of control towards him. The cero hit alright, hit the tornado straight on. The whole attack would've perried, but the power of fire that spiraled around was too powerfull for the cero and engulfed it.
Rin burned in her own firery flames. Eyes burning in passion to win. The fire on her was no harm to her since that was her element. She panted as she gathered her strength up for Malus's next move. A smirk on her face, the whole building was on fire and crumbleing down. If the fire alone touched her opponent, Rin could literally control things to her advantage. The tornado kept spinning around and around, it's range was at about 15 meters in diameter. It was easy for anyone to get caught in it, but did Malus get hit? Rin wondered, and panted some more.
As the tornado spun around in place, Rin watched and looked around for any signs of his opponent. "You must feel pretty lucky, especially since I used such an attack like this on a little battle" she mumbled to herself and smirked. She finally regained her composure and was ready for him. "There was no way he could've dodged that attack, it's either be eatened by it for the next 4 minutes, or dodge and get fired up" she told herself knowing of the flying flames that burned everything in its path.
There was nothing more she needed to do then but wait. Her tornado, while it was still up, could serve as an ongoing attack and a defense for her to run in. Her own attack wouldn't hurt her, for she controlled all fire and made it burn hotter.
Malus raised his his eyebrow that was not covered by his mask fragment. The Vermin's attacks was powerful he had to admit but not undefeatable.
Sondioing through the hole in the ceiling he came to rest in the sky some thirty or so meters above the dojo.
He quickly thought over what he knew about her abilities. Her own fire could not damage her but as she had to absorb his attack before she was not impervious to burning.
Both her attacks and attack stile were forceful and direct, but they were also sloppy. She did not seem as fast as he was but her released attacks seemed powerful enough to make his life hard.
But he could see several weaknesses, for one her attack worked better in a closed space than in the open were there is more room to move. In the air her life would be harder, and if she would not come up here with him he had other methods he could use combat her ability.
Sheathing his weapon he took aim at the dojo from above. One corner of the dojo was taken out already from his first attack, that left three more holding up the roof. One side of the roof already had a hole smashed into it, plus the building was already on fire.
Four shots...... He though running his tung over his double fangs.
Focusing his Reiatsu he clenched both his fists and took aim. He fired three crimson bala into each remaining corner of the building destroying them with a large explosion. The last he sent into the stable part of the roof which exploded, sending splintered wood everywhere.
Redrawing his blade he waited patiently as his bala and the fire took there tole on the buildings structural integrity.
OOC: Just to let you know, the tornado is like a normal tornado and can destroy the building itself. Well, unless the building is like huge er something.
The building shook some more as three other hits crashed into some remaining parts of the building. While on the other side, Rin’s tornado still spun around for a little more. As wood started to fall in, Rin jumped into her own attack allowing the remaining power of it to burn the debris up.
“Running away huh?” she mumbled to herself grinning, the fact that he went so high up just made her think that way. But in truth, there wouldn’t be much running away for long. ‘Just wait and see, when this little battle really gets going you’ll be in for it’ she thought at the obvious darkness hiding within. No one was around to see what she was capable of doing, so no harm done.
Chanting something to herself with her hands fairly close to her, she said, "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south!" Leaping up and out of the flames, she made her way through the already burnt up ceiling. “Shakkaho!” she yelled out as her appearance out of the flames started out with her already pointing towards Malus. The red ball of energy gathered as it was called using its incantation, then fired.
Malus growled lightly at the woman as she chanted. He was tierd of pandering to this woman, tierd of holding himself back. Holding his blade before him he growled, "Arder!"
As the words left his mouth his Zanpakuto erupted into flame like crimson Reiatsu. The flames quickly grew and consumed his body. Increasing in size the flames burned brightly bathing the area in red light.
As the flames died away Malus was reveiled. His flesh was now covered in a thick coating of shining black scales. His hands endded in long black claws, his bird like feet ended in a hooked black talons, his very elbows endded in sharp spikes.
His hair was now pure black, longer and more ragged. Two half foot curved black horns now poked through his hair. The whites of his eyes were now black surrounding a larger amber iris with slitted pupils.
Bone like ridges extended from each vertabray of his back. They ran down to the base of his spine from which a six foot long black tail extended. The tail was an inch thick and ended in a curved blade around a foot long.
Malus looked at the large red fire ball streaming towards him. Gesturing downwards in a claw like motion a crimson Cero charged quickly in his out stretched hand.
The collosal blast the he fired downwards collided with the kido attack and strained with it for a moment before engulfing it and charging forward down towards the Vizard.
“So you’re planning to get serious huh?” Rin said trying to dodge the incoming blow by using her zapakuto to block. Sending her flying black towards the flames she created, a loud crash could be heard as the flames stayed, engulfing the area. She was no where in site, and things were just starting to begin.
A grin appeared on her face, but then got serious. “Come on Rin, you know you can beat him if you finally use me. Don’t keep wasting your time, especially if it’s wasting mine” a girl’s voice said. It was Uchite, the girl who was her darker form.
As a vizard, Rin had her zanpakuto spirit and the other half which was a hollow like spirit. ‘It seems Amatsutori is gone’ she thought to herself knowing full well that he disappears whenever Uchite shows up. “Fine then” she answered with a slight grin.
Eyes burned in a fiery red as the flames engulfed everything in the way. The smoke rose up the sky above. A gentle hand caressed Rin’s face. “I guess this can’t be helped” she said in a more serious but bored way. White specs started to collect over her face along with her dark reiatsu surrounding her like the flames. Red orange lines started to appear on the forming mask. It was like a raptorized beak, with the bottom portion gone and fangs on Rin’s teeth. Two feathers stuck out from both sides of Rin’s head and her eyes were as red and burning as Uchite’s.
An echoed growl made its way out of her throat. “Hehehe, let’s play” she said to herself. Looking up, she quickly sonidoed into the air towards Malus. Ranging closer and closer, Rin’s power was becoming more visible. “Teiku Enkou!” she said outloud and started to attack Malus head on. Slash after slash, her attacks were far more powerful than before and her speed and viciousness increased along with it. Her spiritual abilities had increase times fold and her berserker increased everything else involving her bodily power. A hit from her was close to inevitable and could cause terrible damage.
Malus growled in joy as the Vizard donned her mask, finally they could start for real. As she sondioed before him he smiled wolfishly at her, spreading his hands out he muttered, “Garra de Dragon!” at once his claws began to glow like hot coals and crimsons Reiatsu covered his hands rippling like flames.
“Let’s dance,” he growled as she charged him flames running down her sword. Charging towards her with a roar of his own he met her blow for blow with his glowing hands. The power of her attack impressed him, like most of her kind she became fiercer with her transformation so much so that he was forced to keep his distance.
Malus made sore to keep her at a distance using his bladed tail to slash at her body every time she attack him with her fiery blade. By keeping her at a distance he was able to block and dodge her attacks without injury.
Finally growing board he took a deep breath and leapt forward blocking the blade with both hands the close proximity fire burning his skin. Opening his mouth wide he growled, “Irradiar!” and released a blast far larger and hotter than before at close range.
Garra de Dragon (Dragon’s Claw)
* Description of Attack - Malus's claws and hands become encased in rippling red Reiatsu that flows up from his claws which glow with energy. It has the basic effect of increasing the cutting power of his claws. They absorb only a small amount of Reiatsu though they only have a short range. It is practically standard for Malus to use this technique during battle due to its effectiveness. The technique has a strong blocking ability allowing him to block attacks with his bare hands. The claws can be extended for brief periods of time allowing for greater cutting ability and more surface area to block with. This only last a few moments. * Type - Offensive/Defensive Ability * Range - Close (Max 2 meters) * Limitation - There are few limits to this technique despite its limited range. Its main weakness is based on its power of blocking. As useful as the technique is it consumes a large amount of Reiatsu , while small attack are easy to block stronger attack will consume more and more Reiatsu the long he blocks the attack and the stronger the attack is.
Irradiar (Radiate)
* Description of Attack - Irradiar begins as a collection of compressed Reiatsu focused within his lungs. The Reiatsu is super heated before it is released as a blast transparent red tinged heat radiation that moves with the air. The heat is strong enough that it will burn right through solid wood, melt through stone and "cook" a full grown man in ten seconds. It is twice as strong in Malus’s released form. (It can comically make very neat holes in structures) * Type - Offensive Ability * Range - 10 meters (Pre-release) 20 meter (Post-release) * Limitation - While in his sealed form this technique is very draining and very limited the initial burst alone consumes a large part of his Reiatsu. While not overly debilitating it can leave him breathless for a moment and he cannot do it consecutively within a short period of time using up 10% of his overall Reiatsu. Unreleased he cannot perform more than four Irradiar consecutively without exhausting himself. With a one minute break in between uses he can reduce this exhaustion.
Once in his released form this is no longer an issue though the technique, he is now able to use it with ease taking up only 5% of his Reiatsu.
