~Gang Wars in West Rukongai.~

"You've got to be kidding me!" Swearing in agitation at her opponents increasing she backs away,keeping out of the reach of the spear.Tsukiyomi's irritating sulking and complaining only adds to her frustration.Noticing their attempt to back her into a corner she decides to try something risky-ish.Suddenly rushing at the man wielding the spear she ducks to avoid his swing,wincing as it nicks her shoulder leaving a shallow gash.Ignoring it and grasping the wooden pole she gives a hard tug forward followed by sudden push back.Losing his balance the man let's go.Gripping the spear she twirls it once in a semi circle,forcing the men to move back.'You are wielding another weapon!!' Tsuki's outraged voice makes her flinch. 'Stop sulking! It's an emergency.I can't face seven opponents weaponless,my hakuda isn't that good.' Trying to recall distant lessons on using a spear she rubs her temples at the developing headache,wishing she listened more carefully.

*in the corridor*

Shiro rushes up from behind the new group of reinforcements, and effectively cripples two of them by slashing the back of their legs with his kunai. he then jumps over the group and lands by Altria, wielding both Fenikkusu and Tsukiyomi. "Hey! who started the party without me?" he smiles at Altria, "Here, I think you... 'dropped' something!" He laughs as he hands Tsukiyomi back to Altria, then turns to the group with a serious look, "Hey Altri? how about we show these guys what we can REALLY do!" he whirls his kunai around then points it and the remaining four men before shouting: 'Show 'em real fire! Fenikkusu!!!!" his blade returns to it's shikai state, the black and blue fireballs swirl around the blade, burning with more intensity then before.

Smiling she lets go of the spear,gripping her zanpakuto tightly,"Thank you,Shiro-kun."There's a rush of welcoming silver spirit energy at the reconnection.Smirking she points her blade at the ground,still in its shikai mode.Quickly turning as if drawing a circle she plunges tip of her sword into the ground, "Kagerimashite, Kuraitsuki." Black shadow circle forming underneath her legs Altria smiles,lifting her blade into position,"Let's dance." Flash stepping forward she quickly dispatches three of the men,shadow shield rising to stop attacks at her back.

Feeling the sudden condensed burst of reiatsu approaching him, shin turns and in surprise, sees a kido going towards him.

"What the?? Sokatsui?"

Trying to remember the level of kido approaching him, shin thinks of a way more stronger level of kido to block it in time.

Hado # 39 Enkosen
Making it in the nick of time, a whirling shield blocked sokatsui but afterwards broke due to great impact. Trying to see who tried to sneak an attack on him, shin grins in seeing that it was the leader who attacked him.

"So this time it's the leader, huh." he whispers.."Lucky.."

shin prepares to attack

Tucking into a ball and rolling forward to avoid the attack on his back Loki succeeds.Mostly.The tip of the sword leaves a superficial cut curving from his shoulder blade to the side along the ribcage.Springing into a hand stand from the roll he flips forward three times in succession,putting distance between himself and his foes.Turning on the heel to face them he makes a beckoning motion with his hand,grinning when they rush.Dropping down and avoiding high slashes Loki switches his sword grip to a backward one.Driving a fist and Raijins hilt into the gangsters stomach,dropping him.Bending back into a back flip to avoid the two attacks Loki performs two back flips,wincing at the stinging at his chest.Looking down in surprise at the X shaped cut now gracing his chest,pale marks of three old parallel scars running across it standing out on the font of blood.Looking up at the two red vests left he grins.Flickering out into shunpo Loki suddenly stands between then.His sword whips out,running through man on the left.His left hand strikes out,elbow digging into the other man's gut followed by Lokis fist smashing under his chin."Lights out."

*with Altria*

Shiro twirls his blade in several directions, the two fire balls flying in every which direction hitting the goons while burning them in several places around their bodies. "heh... let's try this.... Quick beat... Honshou!!!" the fireballs stream around in the forms of two snakes composed of fire, and bash into the remaining men.

As he runs closer to the leader, shin pauses in front of him.

"You're pretty suprising using a high level kido without incantation. You see shinigamis do that the best, and it's somehow a mockery if you do that in front of us."

shin reverse back his shikai to a normal sword and sheaths it. Shin points his hand infront of the leader and focus his reiatsu..

Bakudo # 61 Rikujokoro
Beam of thin lights binded the leader's midsection making him completely immobile.

~NPC~
Preparing for battle the Alliance leader (let's say his name is Kuwa to make this easier) steps down from the raised dais.Shin running closer he shifts into a ready stance,smirking slyly at his words about mockery.It slips from his face,replaced with surprise at the spell suddenly binding him.
Regaining his confident look Kuwa smiles slyly,"Heh heh he.What makes you think I'm not a shinigami,boy? How would I even know kido otherwise?" Golden spirit energy beginning to gather around him,Kuwa focuses a great amount of it out of himself,"The captured begs for freedom, selling their souls for a chance to escape. The cornered man forcing his last hand. Hadō #28-Banshiissei." His spirit energy pushing away at the spell it crumbles,nullified.Springing free Kuwa draws his golden sword,grinning slyly.
Moving it around in wavy gestures he keeps doing it faster and faster until the sword blurs into golden motion."Toochi,Kin No Suishoo! (Reign,Golden Crystal.) ". With a release of a wave of reiatsu his sword morphs shape into a big Dao sword.Completely golden the blade seems to be made of a yellow,seethrough crystal with sharp edge covered in tiny crystals that would instead of a clean slash create a tearing, painful cut. Around the plain disk of the guard is a decorative tassel of golden fur.As the blade glows Kuwa grips the hilt and pulls,one blade becoming two. With an X slash he sends a wave of energy from the swords at Loki and Shin, landing at their feet it solidifies into a golden clear crystal that quickly expands trapping their legs up to the knees and slowly keeps rising.Laughing maliciously Kuwa grins and spinning the swords in his hands makes jabbing cuts in the air directed at Shin and Loki.The blades edges glow and sharp crystal fragments propel at them
Note: The crystal is almost as hard as diamond..almost.So it can be broken but it would take great pressure and/or powerful spirit energy burst.It can regrow very quickly.It feels cold as ice on touch and Kuwa can regulate it's temperature.

Glancing around at the men strewn about on the floor she nods to Shiro," We're done here,I don't think anymore reinforcements are coming.Let's get back to everyone." She hurries back in a flash step,worried about the release of reiatsu that just seemed to occur in the room.

"Aw fracking hell.." Shuddering at the coldness of crystal entrapping his legs he swore furiously feeling them going numb.Moving Raijin around quickly and discharging a static charge from him Loki blocks most of the crystals,few getting through to digg into his right arm and shoulder. Cringing he hurriedly pulls them out, throwing aside and starting to hack at the crystal imprisoning his legs.

Surprise that Kuwa easily unbinded himself, shin makes an irritating look and stand back..

"Damn it, I was careless"

As the crystal expands to his legs, in surprise to kuwa's unexpected release, it reaches his legs unabling him to move. Watching the attack gets closer, shin draws his zanpakuto and blocks most of it. Thinking about overpowering the expansion of the crystal at least in a moment to at least to get his leg off from it. Shin decided to go back on shikai.

"Jinsoku - Kaze no Tsume"

The sudden burst of large reiatsu broke the crystal holding him immobile. The wave of his reiatsu affected the crystal that's expanding on Loki's. Not as close to breaking it, but it made a crack in a way it can be broken by force. As shin's sudden burst of reiatsu goes back to its condensed normal state form, the crystal then regrows. Shin jumps back to a range where the crystal won't reach him. Looking at Kuwa.

"Cocky, aren't you?!" he smirks.

Forming a stance, shin whispers. "Hayate"
A sudden breeze of air came into the room, making the room quite windy in unusual way. Remembering Kuwa's statement that he's shinigami, shin grins.

"I'm glad you're a shinigami. You see, I never actually fought a shinigami of your level before. so yea, get ready."

Shin prepares to attack

Crystal weakened thanks to Shin he raises his own reiatsu,shattering it with a final heavy blow.Jumping away from the crystal Loki puts some distance between it and himself,landing close to Shin. "Thanks Shin-san!" Facing Kuwa he calls up the electricity his zanpakutou generates,sparks jumping off the blade.Some race along his arms. "You're a shinigami?So why are you doing this?It's disgraceful."

~NPC~
"Cocky?Heh,no.I'm simply confident in my power." Kuwa's booming voice echoes around the room in mocking laughter."Kah ha ha. Disgraceful he says." Abruptly growing serious he scowls," For recognition and position that was never justly given." Not too concerned with wind tearing through the room just yet he glances at the entrance,sensing two shinigami signatures coming.Having no wish to face four opponents Kuwa slashes his blades out in the direction of the entrance,sending a wave of energy.It quickly solidifies into a yellow crystal wall,blocking entry into the room.Satisfied he returns attention to dealing with the other two.Balancing his stance he begins a series of complicated sword movements,ending with a cross slash at Shin and Loki. Sharp crystal fragments are propelled at them once again but these are much different. Longer,about three inches each,if one tried to dodge them they would follow, homing in.

Stopping short she looks in confusion at the yellow wall made of what seems to be crystal,that is now blocking entry into the room."Where did this come from??" Touching it carefully she jerks her arm back,surprised at how cold it feels.Backing up a bit she tries cutting through but her blade only leaves a deep gash that quickly gets covered over. "What the..what is this stuff??Damn it..we need to get inside!" Trying again and again any progress she makes cutting through is quickly foiled with the crystal regrowing at exponential rate.

In a unusual manner, when Loki came, shin says in a funny way completely ignoring Kuwa's reply on him..

"It's alright Loki-kun, shinigami or not, this guy is dead meat!! He's dangerous than he looks but not really powerful enough. We just gotta take care of those crystal thingiemajig then we're all good."

Looking at the weird stance Kuwa is doing, shin prepares to counter in seeing the approaching crystal that seems to be more powerful than the first one. As the crystal gets near him, using kaze no tsume, shin slashes the crystals into tiny little fragments. Looking at kuwa, he smirks..

"The crystals got stronger, but it won't work on me. The wind that came earlier and clearly spreading in this room is not just an ordinary wind. Hayate is a move that I activated earlier which is capable of making this field windy. The wind spreads and gets stronger as it sucks spiritual energy...not from me but from its surrounding. The reason why I don't use this often is that it often takes too much time to get stronger because there isn't that much spiritual energy in the area, but today is totally a different case."

Shin picks up one of the crystal fragments on the floor.

"The moment you spread your spiritual energy in this room, I realized that Hayate would be the perfect move to at least seal and convert those spiritual energy. Plus, when I was able to overpower your crystals earlier, that means that those are just mere crystals that gets stronger with the condense reiatsu that you put in it. If my Hayate is able to suck those spiritual energy from those crystals, then those crystals would just easily break."

shin puts a stance activating kazamori, the wind surrounds in a spherical manner imprisoning kuwa inside. With the condensed reiatsu in the wind, merely touching it would cause you great damage. In some way, just being imprison inside would already cause a lot of damage to the person..like cuts and slices to the person's skin.

"Taking off crystals,got it." Dodging away from crystals coming at him Loki's somewhat surprised when they follow."Tracking?" Running at a wall,crystals following,he zooms right up it using static cling to stick to it.Coming after him the crystals get stuck in the wall.Flipping and jumping down he condenses reiatsu at his katana,cutting the crystals easily to splinters.Shunpo-ing back to Shin he listens to his explanation,whistling."Sweet move man."

"Thanks Loki-kun. It's because you're here as well too. He seems to be still resisting inside though. We still need to be careful."

Shin looks back at the crystal that blocked the way to the room. Seeing it crumbles a little with Hayate activated, Shin is relieved to be feeling that Altria and Shiro are seem to be coming back for aid. Looking back again at the spherical wind that seems to be twisting faster and faster. The person inside would in a way will slowly be running out of breath, and be having more damage than what he had before.
