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.
Clod dead eye that was and a personality to match that was what the leader of the Combat division was, Kaito Yutaki, probably one of the most unpleasant men in all the vizard organization but no one could doubt his power or loyalty, he cared for nothing but to serve his lord, all other times he spend on getting stronger to serve his lord better. Right now he had taken off his shits and jacket, in nothing but shorts he was training his body sweat ran down his torso while he panted and boxing the air with weights around his arms, Kaito was a rather small pale and scary man with a hunch back. Pitch black eyes, with a dark, black and chilly aura around him.
This was the man that leaded the VCD no one could deny his strength, he didn't use his zanpaktou for traning he needed to become stronger and faster, his sword skills were master like, he just wanted a stronger body at the moment.
What ever this man was thinking was never read able, and when ever he looked in your eyes it was like he knew everything about you, and he knew all your secrets, and you were worthless. And evil man many would say, but the truth was he hated himself, having sold his soul to the devil, he hated that he had to this person, but he had been given so much, and now he was paying his dues.
Tok in the Vaizard barracks, his home, and somewhat his life, since coming to this place. Tok was a mammoth of a man, standing almost six feet seven inches, he had the build to intimidate most people. Not helping his intimidation factor was the fact that the right eye and jaw were coverd with a black cloth to hide the fact that he had ripped them off in his transformation. Tok calmly entered the area where Kaito was practicing. His quiet demeanor was equally disturbing as the stealth he had.
Tok simply waited for a few moments while Kaito practiced, not making any noise at all. After a few moments of waiting, he picked up a bokouto and hit Kaito's bokouto to the floor then stepped in front of him.
<<Ill train with you>> Was all that Tok said, as he took a few steps back. He dwarfed the man in front of him, but he knew he had no chance of winning this fight. Kaito was the Combat Commander and his superior, but that didnt matter, Tok needed a challenge, and this would help him get stronger.
Tok focused his mind on his techniques, he knew his sword technique was excellent, having focused on it so much, and his speed was not as good but almost on the same level as his swordmanship. However, he knew all the other areas would be weak points and resolved to not to let them open up.
He remained silent as he faced kaito, taking his stance legs spread a little wide his right hand on top of the left holding the bokouto. A small bead of sweat formed on his head as he waited for a reply.
Kaito froze as he was challenged, it had been along time since this had happened, he stooped up and looked at the giant before him, Kaito was like a silent image of a ghost, his eye were just two pitch black balls with no emotion in them, and they stared right into the mans, whether Kaito had heard him come or not no one but Kaito knew, he stood still not saying a word just looking deeply at the man, clearly judging him, his eye would send chills down a even a bears spine, these eye were the eyes of a killer.
Kaito was thinking, why such a man would challenge him, had he done any thing wrong and needed a punishment, he seemed slightly nervous, he could see the sweat beads, but the battle had not yet started, but Kaito then found what he was looking for, this man simply wished to get stronger, so he had challenged his leader. Kaito understood such wishes.
Still standing still and saying nothing with an unreadable mind, he looked as if he was just terrorizing his challenger. Kaito then took a step backwards, and frowned at his opponent, a disapproving smile, apparently he didn't accept the challenge. Instead he turned around and started punching in the air silently.
Anyone who wanted to get respect and learn from this master had to prove them selves worthy, just having courage to challenge him was not enough for him, he needed more, he needed to see that you truly existed for combat, these were the kind of men worthy to be trained by the leader.
Tok's expression did not change as Kaito turned around not sparring with him. Tok was a little taken aback, he had stood in the face of his opponent. Kaito was an intimidating figure, and he had stood in front of him ready to fight. Tok stood up silently shrugging his shoulders to get some of the tightness out of them. This was it then, Tok stood perfectly for a minute, his mind racing furiously for what to do. Kaito was not one to shy away from battle, Tok knew this. Suddenly it came to him, what he had to do. Tok retook the grip of his bokouto and stepped towards Kaito.
Tok neared Kaito and tapped him on the shoulder. <<You *points with bokouto at Kaito* and me *points to himself*, fight now>> Tok gave Kaito a minute to process the sentence, then jumps at Kaito making a diagonal slash from right to left followed by a right strike aimed at Kaito's ribs.
Tok knows this will provoke Kaito, and hopefully prove Tok is serious. This is his chance to prove himself ,and gain strength.
Kaito was kept punching the air full of holes, as he heard the huge man challenge him again. Kaito had to give it to him, he had some huge hairy balls, but it was not enough doing the same thing twice, Kaito was not gonna fight some one just because they said so, Kaito was the man who gave orders, not taking them. But the voice in which this was said was different, it seemed he had understood that he had to prove himself, it was stronger and less nervous. Kaito nodded to himself.
Then suddenly the slash came at Kaito, he heard it in the air lunging for his right shoulder, Kaito quickly spun around while he stepped away from the slash, dodging it. But thisman already had courage to attack again, Kaito was surprised, few would dare attack like this twice, this man was not just big he was a warrior. Kaito approved, he had passed test one, now for test two. Kaito grabbed the handle tightly, this second strike was a good one, kaito put his sword horizontal and blocked the second strike, it was strong kaito was very surprised. But his little pale ghost like face did not change, it was still just a bored and cruel cold killers face.
But then Kaito jumped back a few feet and starred at the man, this was a stare that fwould judge his opponent, whether he was worthy of this. Kaito nodded, the battle was on.
Tok's one good eye stared with determination as Kaito nodded. Good the battle would begin now. Tok had only a brief idea of Kaito's potential but he knew it was greater than his. Tok would have to rely on his tactical prowess as he took his stance. Quickly readjusting his cloth that covered his mangled jaw and eye he prepared for the assault that was about to come.
Tok steadied himself ready now more than ever before. Tok somehow felt that this man was a kindred spirit, a warrior a survivor. The spirit that had kept him alive when his hollow had tried to take over. For that reason, there would be no holding back, he was going to give him everything in his disposal. Sliding his left foot backwards, Tok pushed off with his foot. He was about to show one of his abilities he'd gained from his hollowfication. Tok quickly shunpod making a downward slice putting his force behind it, his body was exposed for a strike but if Kaito did not managed to block the attack it would be devistating.
Kaito had been waiting to see this mans power, to see if he was actually worthy of everything Kaito thought he was. Kaito saw the slash coming,he had good eye for shunpos and even better eyes for weapons. He stepped one step to the right at an amazing speed, dodging the attack in a way that seemed almost unbelievably well timed, Kaito always made this kind of dodge against the first attack because there was so little that needed focus. He on the other hand was open to other hidden weapon.
Kaito saw the opening, but he was not much for using it, surely it had to be some sort of trick, the only real thing to do would be keeping the range of his weapon as a second defense to ward of the secret attacks and just hit this mans jaw and rip it off.
But to see what he was good for Kaito used his weapon, striking for his solar plexus trying to get the air out of the balloon, but Kaito knew he had opened himself a lot, he could only use his left arm to block with.
Kaito dodged the attack with magnificent speed. Not totally unexpected was this development and Tok recovered quickly. Landing on his feet Tok had just a milisecond to see kaito's counter attack to his sternum coming. Tok disappeared, with more speed than kaito's original movement Tok appeared to the right of Kaito, his breath a little strained.
<<This is an ability i have to fuse shunpo and sonido to move at even faster speeds.>>
Tok gave no more explanatin just raised his bokouto and jumped into his attack. He started with quick light strikes to drive Kaito backwards. His plan was working so far...... Tok suddenly did an uppercut like attack with his bokouto making a slash from abdomen to chin. This was the chance now...He had to now. As the strike was going on Tok removed his right hand from his sword and said one word as he pointed towards Kaito. <<Cero>> A large green beam of energy erupted from his hand as the cero went for kaito's chest.
Kaito was unimpressed, of cause the ability to fuse sonido and shunpo was amazing, but Kaito had played right into the traps he might have had and so far nothing much really came, just another barrage of attacks, Kaito movements were fast, but he was not using shunpo and he had no learned Sonido himself, he could not see the need to learn both abilities, unless you were able to fuse them. Kaito kept dodging the attacks, he could follow all these hits, but once in a while Kaito saw his moment to use his wooden katana to block, simply because it was easier.
Kaito kept being quiet and cool, he didn't catch any of his chances at counter attacking, at this moment he was just waiting to see if his opponent had any real plan. A cut came from down and up, Kaito used his sword to block the attack just as easily as any other attack. But he felt a difference, this attack did not have the same power as many of the other cuts, Kaito looked at the handle of the sword to see why the cut was weak, only one hand on the ahandle, kaito followed the other hand and saw the green ball.
Cero...
Kaiyo furrowed his brows, he had been careless in this position dodging the Cero would not be easy and if he failed it might be dangerous. Kaito saw no other purpose than cross his arms in front of his face and take the beam head on.
The explosion destroyed some of the barrack and smoke and wood flew all over Kaito shorts were torn. As the smoke lifted there stood Kaito, his arms smoking, but no wounds were apparent on his body, his sword was nothing but a broken handle. He stood up and stared at his opponent dropping th handle with a nod.
[shadow=red,left,300]“Impressive, you pass my tests, your willing to go as far as throwing about ceros and causing this kind destruction even in a friendly match, and you defiantly have power as well, I'll take you serious from now on”[/shadow] his Voice send chills down lion spines, it was like hearing a sad ghost talk about the way he had been murdered as a child.
Kaito clawed a hand over his face and dark energies formed a vizard mask, shaped like a bear face, his power suddenly increased to scary levels, his reiatsu become evil itself, darkness heavy as if you were drowning in oil and it could at any time catch fire.
Tok nodded, at Kaito's small alcolade. His determination and tactics in this spar however, was based at least in part on Kaito's own abilities. He'd held back on his cero and had been confident on the effect of Kaito. As Kaito formed his mask Tok did the same with silent understanding. The battle was about to go to the next level.
Tok raised both of his hands to his face, putting them in the middle and pulling in opposite directions. As he did so the mask formed over his face, a plain white mask with a single line of black over his unusable eye. There were two large tusks like that of an elephant under the eyes, and the mouth was four fangs two up and two down. the bottom was square as if shaped somehow. The mask flowed back over Tok's head.
As he went back into position Tok felt the pure evil presence of Kaito. His own energy was bad but this was menacing causing a creeping sensation in his spine. Tok quickly concentrated, he knew this would be an incredible match now his tactics had to be more fluid more creative, he took his defensive horse stance and prepared for the onslaught.
