The tree (teir up)

Kazunori was sent on his first mission for Division 12. It was a simple mission but any kind of research Kazunori enjoyed. He had set up a table with some research technology. What he was working on was putting up a defense system over Karakura Town. Getting busy writing and doing work on his lap top, he had almost finished his work up on the Lap top. The only thing left was placing some metal rods around Karakura Town. "Finally my eye's are starting to burn from staring at this lap top." Having payed so much attention to his lap top, Kazunori was ignoring the fact that a warning sign was going off on his Lap Top. A Garganta had opened up near by.

Anyone who saw Kazunori would not really know what to think about him. He was a very strange man. Even in the Soul Society people did not really understand him. Most had not even seen him release his Shikai. He really never had to, being in squad 12 ment not fighting as much. This is how Kazunori liked it though, he loved having his opponents think he was weak, just so he could crush them. Part of his personality was actually taking place why he was working on his lap top. He was ignoring the Garganta on purpose, he wanted the arrancar to find him.

A garganta opened in the sky letting out a two arrancars; one of them was pretty tall with long blue hair and yellow eyes with purple iris and blue markings all over his face. The other was much shorter, standing at 5’6’’ and had blonde hair with distinguish cat like blue green eyes. The blue haired arrancar instantly nodded towards the blonde, before disappearing back into the garganta. Jail shrugged before looking back at the shinigami’s direction. He was sent to the world of the living to interrupt a mission that was given towards a particular shinigami. Grunting to himself, the blonde instantly used sonido to appear a distance away from the shinigami.

His uniform consisted of a sleeveless tight jacket that stops right above his midsection yet covering his chest with a funnel-shaped turtle neck collar and two black zippers that run down four inches apart. The sleeves have a thin black band that holds onto his arms right under the shoulder, after the two inch black strip the rest of the sleeve is white; the sleeves stop just cm away from his fingertips. his gloves were black and went half way up his arm if it were visible with white hollow bones over each fingertip that attach like a skeleton like finger towards the hollow like bracelet. His stomach was bear showing off his hollow hole, the black sash was a low cut coming way below his midsection. His white hakama was also a low cut that showed off his bear thighs which came down just below the knee where they are tucked in his boots. His knee high boots are black with a white hollow like skeleton like design. In addition to this he also has two black belts that come from his left shoulder across while only one black belt crosses them from the right side. The three belts are attached to a sash that held his twin zanpakutou.

The arrancar was only fifteen years old and looked quite frail, but the expression he held was much more dangerous as he glared at the shinigami. “I can’t believe I came all the way out here just for the likes of you. To think this would have been much more of a challenge… tsk, oh well… the names Jail, it’s a pleasure to escort you to your grave.” He said seething out his twin zanpakutou and pointing towards the shinigami.

"Yes, yes sure what ever just let me get this last bit of information down in my Lap top." Kazunori was still just as interested in his Laptop as before, he was ignoring the Arrancar for a few seconds. Typing up a little bit more information on to his Laptop, then finally flipping it down and looking up. "So I guess you were sent here to kill me. Well that is fine I have no problem with that. I will just take you back to my lap and kill you then. Yes this should be fun Arrancar, I have not had a good fight in a while." Drawing his Zanpokuto from its sheath and running his left hand across the blade. "I will be honest fighting someone and using up all of my energy then activating my Shikai does not work."

"Encompass," suddenly red Reiatsu spun all around Kazunori. The Reiatsu looked like fire burning but it was nothing more than Kazunori's Reiatsu. Then the Reiatsu stopped and sat still, making it seem like Kazunori was on fire. Then the fire just started to fade off into the sky, leaving behind Kazunori and his Shikai. The blade was a normal Katana's length. The weird thing was that the blade looked just like a enlarged version of a thorn, minus a few differences. "This is my Shikai Arrancar, one of the very few Plant type Zanpokuto."

Lifting up his Zanpokuto, a small brown seed grew from the end, as it grew a little bigger the seed fell from the end. Bending down and picking up the seed and looking up at the Arrancar, then placing the Seed in his mouth. "I would offer you one Arrancar I do not think you would like the taste." A very evil and disturbing look appeared on Kazunori's face. "Hado #4," a Blue lighting bolt shot from Kazunori's left finger tip, heading towards the Arrancar, it was mostly just a practice shot though.

The arrancar was silent for a brief moment as he listened towards the shinigami’s response; upon realizing what he had just said, the arrancar at first looked puzzled as he blinked in confusion and then slowly began to flinch in annoyance looking quite irritated. “Hey I’m talking to ya geek, this isn’t computer class!” he called out sounding quite agitated when the shinigami finally flipped his laptop down and looked at him. Blue green eyes looked back at the shinigami; now that he got his attention, the young blonde got into position as the shinigami spoke. Raising an eyebrow, the arrancar looked quite disturbed as he finished explaining. “Whatever you say ya nutcase sicko, the result will still be the same…” he said when the shinigami released his shikai.

Looking as the he were to be on fire, Jail took his distance getting ready to attack and defend if necessary. But just as it started it faded away, Jail saw that the shinigami had a thorn like weapon. “Interesting, I don’t know too many plant manipulators… let’s see what you can do.” He said when the shinigami lifted up his zanpakutou and dropped a seed from the end. Watching out of curiosity, he paid close attention as the shinigami ate it. Changing his face into a mixture of a scowl and confusion he spoke up sounding uninterested. “No thanks, I don’t know what that stuff is going to do to me and stop calling me Arrancar! I have a name, so if you wanna call me something it’s Jail.” He said as the shinigami gave a very dark and disturbing expression. This caused the blondes cat eyes to sharpen and narrow, not liking the looks of this.

As the shinigami lauched a kidou at him, the arrancar instantly used a sonido to appear from the shinigami’s left side. “Play times over!” he said as he slashed with his sword five times. The first three slashes were like a star (*) and then the other two slashes were more like a double stab then a slash. With that done, hit or miss the arrancar would then launch a turquoise colored bala as if it were nothing. He rarely seen a plant type zanpakutou and so he didn’t know what to expect, however he was pretty aware of his surroundings just case something crazy was about to happen…

Kazunori smiled as the Arrancar was now serious and said that play time was over. The Arrancar was fast, his Sonido was enough to make Kazunori lose sight of where he was. Kazunori really did not have time to dodge the attacks that were coming towards him, so he did not move from his spot as the Arrancar began to slash away at Kazunori. The slashes that aligned to make a star shaped figure never hit Kazunori, neither did the attacks that were more like jabs. The attacks were caught by two roots that sprung up from the side of Kazunori to protect him. They caught each of the blows, but they were now mostly cut a part, barely still together Kazunori stood up and placed his hand on one of the roots. The root started to heal itself back together, but the other root was absorbed into the one Kazunori was touching. Kazunori shook his head to the right to get the hair that was covering his face out of the way. Smiling as he looked over at the Arrancar who was charging a bright Cero. Using only a few steps, Kazunori quickly used Shunpo to get away.

Appearing a couple of feet behind the Arrancar, Kazunori was unharmed and still just as calm as before. "So your name is Jail, that is an interesting name. Not very common at all is it. I guess telling you my name will not hurt. I am Kazunori Izubunchi." Kazunori really did not care much for talking to the enemy unless it actually needed to be done. So Kazunori quickly placed his left hand on the ground, causing four roots about 16 feet long to appear around Jail making a perfect square. At the end of these roots were mouths with large teeth, that were as sharp as a Zanpokuto blade, and as hard as steel. Kazunori turned around and jumped off the building they were standing on. When he left he left the roots to do what they wanted to, which was attacking jail from all sides. Kazunori chuckled as he reached the ground, stabbing his Zanpokuto into the ground leaving a small seed. He wondered if the Arrancar had figured out yet that Kazunori only summons the plants. They do as they want but they always choose to protect Kazunori.

Slashing at the Shinigami, roots sprouted from the ground and began to protect him. ‘What the hell?’ he thought to himself as he then snapped each of the roots with his zanpakutou. Grunting he then shot his cero, however the shinigami had quickly used shunpo to escape. Blue green eyes glared causing his left eye to glow orange and strange markings to appear all over his face (see siggy for details). Turning around to face him, the teen gritted his teeth in annoyance. “Kazunori Izubunchi? Never heard of it before, but then again you must be a new member of the gotei thirteen. I used to be part of the coalition, so there are many names that ring a bell or two.” He explained when the shinigami placed his hands on the ground.

Four roots suddenly surrounded him as the shinigami jumped off the building. “Oh no you don’t!” he cried as the roots went to attack him. Launching a cero downwards, the blonde went through the roof of the building thus avoided all of the plants before breaking out from one of the windows with black electricity running through his hands. Launching the cero at the shinigami it had the spead of a bala and a bit difficult to avoid because of the electrical shockwaves. Once made contact the individual will not only receive the full impact of the cero, but as well kidou 4 electrocution. Jail noticed that up to now the shinigami had been using plant like abilities, however then again he wasn’t sure if he could do other things as well seeing as though he himself also had a special ability he wasn’t using yet.

Kazunori looked up getting a quick glance of the Jail blasting a Cero downwards destroying the 4 roots. Kazunori could tell that the Cero went right though the building. Probably making its foundation weak in the process. Kazunori smiled as he saw the Arrancar jumping out of a window. He had some kind of lighting sparking from his arms. Kazunori really did know know what it was until it was fired in the form of a cero.

Kazunori simply just stabbed his Zanpokuto into the ground in front of him. Holding up both hands preparing an attack. "Hado #73 Soren Sokatsui," a duel blast fired from Kazunori's fngers. This kido was just a more powerful version of Hado #33. The Cero and the kido meet closer to Kazunori then to Jail because of Jail having fired his attack quicker than Kazunori. Kazunori was still feeling shockwaves of some kind coming from the Cero. "A powerful attack this Arrancar has here, lets see if this will do anything though." From Kazunori's Palms a root tore open. These roots rushed out a good ways, about 15 yarns. Both roots flew up into the air and slammed downwards like a whip against Jails cero. Being that that happened the attacks exploded sending a large shock wave out wards. The wave was stronger when it hit Kazunori, but his roots dug into the ground keeping him in place. As that happened the roots seemed to come completely out of Kazunori's hands, and planting themself into the ground. "These seem like roots but they are actually half root and half seed. They were growing inside of my body. Hahahaha, that seed I ate before was been growing inside of my body, I have been increasing the grow rate. Now these two seeds will root this entire area." Kazunori picked his Zanpokuto up and grabbed the blade with his left hand, then quickly running it across the blade, cutting his hand open. Blood dripped from his hand hitting the ground.He was not planning to attack so quickly, in fact he had actually already attacked, but in a different way.

Thread closed since Jack the reaper decided to do a different tier up with Jun; weather it's declined or not will be determined by a staff... XD
