So it seemed that the Thirteenth Division Captain was ready to fight. This was a good thing in the mind of Koichi as it showed that the Gotei Thirteen still had some fight left in them; even when they were pushed against the wall with their current circumstances. Therefore, the male gave an affirmative thumbs up and was proud of his decision to stick and fight for his home.

'Ha, well it seems I misjudged you. Well, good on you for sticking around, then. Here, take this. You'll need it.'

The words that were echoed into the mind of Kuro from The Hell Hound were jovial and upbeat; as if he was ready to fight alongside his comrades and see what they were made of. Therefore, to better assist them, The Hybrid Mutt decided to transfer energy into the male from an unknown external source. It traveled through the scattering of The Iramasha's reishi and managed to mark The Captain. If he should so accept this gift? Then he'd feel that this foregin energy would feel almost satanic, but Koichi's hybrid blood purified and made it compatible enough with the Shinigami's energy frequency to be tolerable.

Following that point, the male may then begin to notice a few things changing within himself. The density of his body skeletal system would increase to otherwise become more durable, while the nimbleness in his legs and arms would improve two fold to be faster and the overall production of energy within himself could increase to the point of him ascending one tier higher into the realm of 0-4++. These effects would be temporary, but they held the capacity to at least hold up for five post before lowering.

'We're gonna need awesome strength for this fight. I wish you luck in your fight, friend!'

And with those parting words, Koichi decided to let Kuro focus on Sui-Feung, while his own sights would be turned towards the Negative Flash Master before him. Not being one to let an opportunity slip from his grasp, The Devil Hound understood that the swiftness of The Goddess would more than likely have her attempt to dodge. Therefore, by banking on that reaction, Koichi let out a chuckle and had a small gateway, no longer than a hand, emerge directly in the front of her face where she crouched. Then, at speeds comparable to Iramasha Warp, an energized fist emerged out of the gateway and sought to punch lights out of the Inverse Freak with the element of surprise, speed and force.

The results of this swift strike could indeed result in Yoruichi facing a broken nose, internal bleeding and the sense of balance being knocked right off her head due to the equilibrium of her body being assaulted by The Beast. And, to add insult to injury, it could indeed lead to more of her skills being reduced. As, this energized fist held the same proprieties of compression that the blows from Koichi's own limbs possessed from his capacity to seal off such strengths through his Chaos Energy.

Still moving at break neck speeds, however, this battle wasn't over yet. As Yourichi went in for that kick, the familiarity of her attacks were within an estimable reach for The Hell Hound. Therefore, with his supernatural reflexes, Koichi countered the attack and grinned as another wormhole with numerous eyes inside of it opened. In that moment? It would feel as if something within its depths was outright clawing through the skin, flesh and bone of The Flash Goddess's body to otherwise yank that limb right off. Growling sounds soon followed and the feasibility of Yoruichi sustaining a grave injury from this was high; as whatever was gnawing on her would have the utmost of mastery in strength.

If nothing else, by the time she jumped back, the Flash Master would find herself either missing that foot or having deep gashes in her skin that expose the flesh and bone of her appendage. So, while she was busy surveying the area, Koichi utilized another round of Chaos Warp to almost instantly appear before her at absurd speeds; making it so that even those with Grand Master speed would have trouble keeping up with this movement in terms of anticipating it.

Then, when up close, he utilized the element of agility and shock to make a pass at delivering a backhanded chop with his right arm towards The Negative Shinigami's neck and torso section. In that time-frame, his limb seemed to be devoured by a black energy and it sought to outright decay and deteriorate the living flesh it would tap on to. A strong sense of death lingered with that force, and this sense of rot would attempt to outright reduce the reserves of energy vested within the female; even if it weren't to make a direct contact, its rotting proprieties would latch itself on to Yoruichi's body or reishi to otherwise devour her energy or life-force in order to bring her closer to being KO'd.

Yet, that was not all there was to that attack. Making like a machine, Koichi cocked his right hand and turned into a fist in order to immediately follow that up with a heavy strike to the chin in the form of a devastating uppercut. Combined with his previous assault, the outright physical force from these blows could result in bones being broken, organs rupturing and damage accumulation all over the Flash Goddess's body. This could indeed result in her speed being subdued as this pressure would seek to cripple her and slow her down to make her less of a threat in the grand scheme of things.

So, with one final jarring blow to the gut, another power-strike was aimed at Yoruichi's gut and an explosion of power would thunder across the area. Blowing everything away in its path for a few dozen feet, this damning hit possessed enough power to destroy two mountainsides; but all of that collective force was pin-point and focused on The Negative Shinigami's abdomen in order to knock the wind out of her -- or outright blow a hole through her stomach.

[CHANGE THE TRACK HERE]

By this point, he'd then sense something horrid brewing within the The Flash Goddess and had sense enough to know when to call it quits. Therefore, Koichi pulled himself back through means of Chaos Warp and transported himself over one hundred feet away from Yoruichi in order to cover some distance between him and her. When he stopped, an eyebrow arose and he understood that a means of defense was put in place. Why could he tell this? Well, given the incantation, and the distortion of the space around the female, it was easy enough to deduce that the bubble dome around her was meant to protect her. Therefore, a quick chuckle escaped the male's mouth as that meant that these attacks did at least pose a threat to the girl if she needed to take such hasty precautions. Thus, the plan from this moment forward was simple: break through and crush that dome.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that, Kitty-Cat. You never know what a dog might have hidden behind his teeth to catch his prey!"

Obviously, on the first line of that dialogue, there was a cheeky infliction to Koichi's voice. However, on the latter, he then sobered up and got a bit more serious as he gave a smirk of confidence. He understood they were relatively on the same level of power, so he knew he stood a chance at leaving his mark no matter what discouraging words she may spew at him.

Despite that, something else caught his attention and, while he kept one eye on Yoruichi, another eye was keeping track of the kido being launched from Sui-Feng. But, it seemed that his ally was getting into action and released some form of earth-based attacks to otherwise block out the assault from reaching Koichi. Granted, if he failed in that maneuver, Koichi was still ready to unleash his own counter as a flare of darkness erupted from the male and gave off a scent of death and decay. The smell of iron and burning flesh radiated from the male and he let off a fanged grin as he felt the demonic half of his blood boiling, while the angelic half kept his mind sharp and intentions pure on carrying out this important mission.

Therefore, as the next round of silent kido was unleashed from the over happy Omnitsukido leader, orders were issued by Koichi to perform a massive Chaos Warp. In order to evade any chance of them falling prey to this kido, The Iramasha kept in contact with each other through means of Chaos Sync and performed a massive teleportion jump. This would place them all in the heavens above and take them straight out of range in order to move the potential of danger from them.

However, this would also be the same time where followed suit and sought to continue with their assault on the Iramasha. Three Iramasha were taken off guard and were piercing from behind, but most of the others were well prepared for this moment and decided to react by repelling them away with their Chaos Energy. In massive burst of light, numerous Chaos Blast were fired before most of the assassins had a chance to lay their hands on the Iramasha.

While, the three that failed to react in time fell to the ground and started bleeding out heavily. Only one of them died, but the other two managed to sustain themselves and attempted to flee away from the scene by flying away to find the Gotei Thirteen's medical squad. None the less, each of these Chaos Blast could indeed reduce these men to smoldering carcasses with the amount of power they were generating as a single unit linked together.

Meanwhile, Koichi held his position in the sky and placed a barrier around his troops and Sui-Feng's men. It was crimson in color and held within it enough power to keep even master level kido assaults at bay for a number of successive attacks. This shield was produced by from that same external source from area, so Koichi didn't seem as winded just yet. Therefore, he had time to give The Head Feng a piece of his mind:

"Tick, tock. Tick, Tock. There is only so much time left in the world before those words come crumbling and that delusion is broken."

Wagging his finger and grinning with glee, apart of Koichi's warrior blood found himself getting excited and worked up for this challenge. The heart was pumping, his energy was accelerating and he could feel the adrenaline of battle seeping into his veins. Yet, even with that, his calculating mind understood that he needed to hurry up and seal the deal with this battle. Therefore, he bolted straight for Yoruichi and held out his hand:

"Now let's start Round Two with a bang, shall we, miss?"

Winking at The Flash Goddess, The Hell Hound unleashed a dense blast of darkness at her person -- before it faded and separated into a full three sixty assault around her. On every direction, blobs of darkness started forming around Yoruichi and sought to follow her movement with Chaos Warp to make up for the impressive speed she possessed. If hit, these blast would begin decompressing the bubble-like shield around her and render it eradicated if enough of them had hit. There were one hundred of these miniature burst of death in total and they all wanted to tear The Negative Shinigami limb from limb.

"But do humor me: why are you protecting that Kora'Aina? What's your end game here?"

As Koichi's voice echoed across the battlefield, that question was posed to anyone on the side of the Inverse Realm. Even if it was in the midst of battle, The Hell Hound was curious to see why they were fighting and figure out the purpose of it. If not, he'd just continue on with the battle until victory was at hand. At least, if things worked out in his favor.

'Now, you. Take this energy so we can keep fighting them. It's going to get rough from here on out and we need to be in peak shape.'

With one last thought in mind, Koichi had a plan in mind and he directed that mental sentiment towards the mind of the raven haired Captain on the field. Following that moment, the demonic force from earlier reappeared and a current of energy would arise around the likes of Tetsuya. Injecting him this influence could result in The Tachibana finding most of his stats increased by two times and his power being thrusted into the ranks of 0-3++ in order to fight evenly with Sui-Feung for five post or so.

'Don't waste this gift. We need to make it count.'

And with that, the line was closed and the ball was now in the Inverse Shinigami's court.

Music of Combat: The Pride (Remix) by Five Finger Death Punch

Kuro was surprised at the hardness of her body, his eyes narrowing slightly as his blade slid across his enemy's flesh without piercing. Seems that I will have to make it sharper… The thought slid through his mind as he remained in the shadows, his mind clear and focused as he reemerged, his blades whipping out in his unique style of swordsmanship as he felt wires hitting around his body, his mind opening as his own body became a blur, the blades all around his body striking rapidly as he shot massive hurdles of force at the individual wires as they attempted to constrict around him, feeling pressure from every side as shadows began to leak out of his very body, his attacks ripping and striking at every one of the incoming forces with explosive force as the strain caused all of his muscles to become tight, but he tried to relax as this web of shadows covered around his body, his jaw clenching shut. Each time he felt them beginning to tighten even the slightest amount, his blades changed course, sliding away in the inverse direction with the use of a miniature hoho. To say that the effort was draining on his stamina was an understatement…

As at last the wire grew closer and closer, Kuro finally allowed for his energy to leave his swords, his reiatsu flowing back into his body to strengthen his own skin as his blades came to a controlled rest, wrapped around his body as he carefully and deliberately closed his eyes, feeling the white mask on his back slowly rising through the wires, the white cloak that was on his body leaving him as it extended and spread outwards, spread along the length of the wires as it covered around them, making them clear to view. His moment came when Yoruichi's knee-jerk reaction was displayed, his peculiar Disturbed Energies from Piero finally coming into effect as they drove like knives through every point along the wire, constraining the energy within before finally snipping off the portion where it was being held by Sui Feng as he threw his body to the side, into the incoming wave of force as he grit his teeth, his body being slammed away as he was shot unceremoniously into a nearby wall, blasting through it as his body rolled and tumbled, before finally coming to a stop in front of a wall. "Damn… it…" He grit through the pain, as the wire had drawn blood across his body. The consequence of his separation from Sui Feng was the fact that he had had to contain all of the energy away from her connection point before cutting it; he still could not move as the white energy flowed along the wire. Now, it was attached only to Yoruichi, leaving a white line like a fishing line that was still constraining him at the end, but there was significantly less due to the unwinding that Kuro had shaped the string within. That had been the true purpose behind his desperate struggle; he had been preventing the wire from becoming tangled in on itself.

He could feel the tugging forces from her fight with Koichi as he concentrated, his eyes glowing white as the blade in his left arm began to expand rapidly, before becoming a massive broadsword rippling with disturbed energies, tearing through the wire as he finally began to stand up, his blades pushing the wire away from his arms and legs as he dropped the blade held by his knee. ...So I cannot vanish into the shadows any longer… seems I'll have to face the light of day after all. With those encouraging thoughts, Kuro began to catch his breath and bearings once more, thankful for the respite no matter how short. He was also interested in the blade… that he was holding in his right hand?

His head turned to the side, looking at his arm… and realizing that it was no longer there. His left arm had vanished, replaced only by a silver emblem with a black cross. What.. The hell…? He thought, his eyes widening as he beheld the blade in his hands. It felt… weightless, and yet his entire body felt the same way. Without thinking, he pressed the tip of the blade along the now missing space that had caused the remainder of the physical thread to fall away, causing his arm to reappear as the sword disappeared. It left only the blade of his bankai, causing Kuro to look at the weapon and his arm slightly mystified…

He could hear the ferocious sounds of fighting still away, and it would seem that his escape would have finally been noticed as his eyes began to narrow, his body leaning forwards as he cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts. As he began to do so, a strange black energy began to appear around his body. The mask that was attached to his cloak rose up, becoming fixed snugly on his eyes as the Masquerade he wore began to glow darkly, the same sensation taking over all around his body as strange shots of darkness began emitting from his form, as he began to merge the Shadows, Hoho, and Kido. It was an ability that he had only experimented with in the past; but if he could not increase his speed in some manner right now, he would most certainly be killed. And that… would not be good.

That was his final conclusion as his spiritual pressure, which had before been completely concealed, finally became revealed as it began to rapidly shoot through the roof as he began to emit the totality of his spiritual prowess, his body entering into a crouch. He observed the terrific box that had emerged as his body rapidly shot over to it as if motivated by a jet engine of some kind. His body was now standing atop the pillar, feeling the four that were down below, while at the same time gripping at his own head. So much… strain… His teeth were grit as he attempted to relax, to gain some control. That was the greatest challenge while wielding this form; the controlled release of the shadows through Hoho. His eyes saw the assault that was being performed against the Iramasha as he vanished, leaving only the imprint of his shadow as he passed like a shadow through the ranks of the Omnitsuko, not attacking them but parrying their blows with great force, throwing them off in their combat, before finally he re-emerged in front of the only enemy that was still within his sight.

It was then that he finally felt the presence that he was given as a gift. The energy source that had been passed to him from Koichi helped restore his stamina as his body allowed it to enter him, Piero making a strange remark as he did so. You had best be wary, foolish Master. He's getting this from some demonic source… though I wish he had left it untouched, Kukukuku… That laughter was still flowing through Kuro's mind as he recalled when Koichi had given him this boon. He remembered being wished luck, before nodding in deference as he gave a small smile. It had been quite some time since he had been on the battlefield with someone who he felt supported by… it had been far too long, in his opinion. So it was that the two Hounds, Kuro and Koichi, both continued the battle against the Tigress and the Bee.

...Do they have to destroy more…? Kuro thought to himself, a bit sadly, as he saw the Chaos Blasts being fired. It had not been very long since the Gotei had to be rebuilt. They had all worked on it, for very long hours. Now, that work was being tarnished, destroyed by more fighting. "...But I wonder if that's the purpose of growth?" Kuro allowed himself to mutter aloud as the cloak around his body greatly expanded outwards, flicking about back and forth although there was no wind. Kuro felt a bit… out of place, as he finally brought both hands up to his face, looking at his hands as he considered what to do.

What's right? What's wrong? I am protecting my home. Koichi of the Iramasha Guard and Tetsuya are engaging the primary threats. What should I be doing right now? What would have the greatest effect…?

In the final conclusion of that decision, his eyes opened wide. "...Attack… the student…" Were the words he muttered aloud as his mouth opened wide, his head tilting back as his arms gripped on either side of his body, a condensed ball of shadows emerging in front of his body, in front of his mouth. All over the Gotei, lights began burning brighter, and everything could be seen as if through white wash as Kuro condensed the most shadow energy possible, his mouth opening wide as the ball condensed to a size where it would fit inside, before his head tilted downwards at the great box that had been created with Sui Feng inside. Throughout his mind, Kuro could see them; the attacked Omnitsuko, the three dead bodies of the Iramasha. "No… MOOOOOOOOOORE!!"

With that declaration, his mouth opened wide as the shadows that he had been gathering shot all around his body, turning his entire form black as night as his body vanished, a massive hole appearing in the top of the box as he appeared in front of Sui Feng's body. Without hesitation, his right elbow appeared in front of her face, attempting to break her jaw as his body spun around at speeds that would blow a normal human away from the draft created, and yet there was no draft. It was as if he were a moving shadow as the blade in his left hand whisked past her front, attempting to slice her in half as his body leaned forwards, before dashing rapidly. While he could no longer vanish into the shadows, he decided that it would mean that he would have to go fully on the offensive.

His whirling blades, therefore, would clash and strike at Sui Feng over and over, and every time she would stop moving away from him he would use the opportunity to continue his assault from different angles. "How dare you kill my allies…" A nearly satanic voice asked the woman as more blades began emerging from his body, a full thirty blades, many of which were made purely from shadows. His whirling attacks continued their assault as he shot and stabbed, his elbows and knees striking throughout and performing much higher piercing attacks at her stomach, pelvis, hips, shoulders, throat, and chin.

In addition, every blow that he performed was as if it were being dealt from Shunko. While the overall control was nowhere near as great, it was much more forceful, as it was on an entirely different level than the blades of Kuro's bankai. "How DARE YOU!" Kuro demanded as he threw his blades completely behind him, causing them to flow out along his cloak as his white eyes could be seen, his fists and legs now replacing his blades as they struck and crashed.

Finally, his head ducked in close, the armor of shadows dissipating as he allowed a single drop of her peculiar poison to touch his cheek. "Your teacher… what will she say when her student dies? What weakness will she reveal when your life is put under threat? When the damage and torture being inflicted upon you is at this level you attack US with?" The male asked, as he continued to stare at her through the 'illusion' of pain. The truth of the matter was that it was like cool water being placed on his face. Kuro was well versed in hallucinations of pain; it reminded him of that time when he had cut himself in front of Jenna's grave. However, this was repentance, to him. He was no monster. He was not a monster, and he was nothing like these people he fought.

Finally, his body switched back as he pressed on the ground, causing an explosive tumble as he lost control, his body spinning like a shadowy boulder as it slid across the ground, before he was struck with inspiration as he forced himself into the ground. He dove deep down inside, leaving a hole in his wake cloaked by shadows. From these shadows emerged that mask that he wore upon his face, sticking up in the air as it looked at Sui Feng, as well as any of the Omnitsuko that were still trapped inside. From there, it would began to emit blades, firing them out in waves and pulses at his adversaries. If it hit anything but them, the shadows would disperse, flowing back into the pit over the period of a post. If it hit an enemy, however, it would likely pierce through the Ominitsuko, and bruise Sui Feng.

So it was here that Kuro remained, his body beaten and battered, his breath ragged, blood dripping from wounds from the wire on the front of his body as well as the illusion of pain and the butterfly mark between his eyes... and yet, there was a determination within him that he had not known before. He would not stand for this senseless slaughter. So strong was this resolve that he was already planning his next movement. If his hole went unexplored, he would certainly use the opportunity to perform a surprise attack… but the question was not about whether or not he would perform a surprise attack, but to whom. At this moment, Kuro did not know who it would have a larger effect upon, but his manipulation of the shadows on the outside of the barrier began to form themselves into words, plain for Koichi and Yoruichi to see.

The Bee's Wings Shall Be Clipped.

This is not, where you Belong!

[adm]At the moment I am trying to speed things along with the event. So, with that said, I'm going to more or less draw a conclusion to this thread. With the fact that Inverse Yoruichi and Soi-Fong have been dropped by Trim, I'm going to assume that these characters more or less dealt with the threat and destroyed them as the Kora A'ina's of their realms were destroyed and they would have more than likely been rendered weakened by this point. Therefore, this would resolve the incident and bring an end to the thread. This is, of course, if no one responds to this warning in the next three days. [/adm]
