1-1 challenge tier up

The sand was white and the sky was black; it was always like that in the white desert. The sands went on and on as if it could never end and to make matters worse was the fact that it looked lifeless and empty. Lifeless and empty the two things Hiei felt; it wasn’t long ago that he had figured out that he was a Chitose, however it still didn’t change anything. He still felt as if he was nothing, but a small parasite compared to the very large world. Hiei was known as the segunda espada, however it didn’t change the fact that if he died it wouldn’t change a damn thing. Life was dull and the sense of power was the only thing out there that made a difference; weaklings were always forgotten; heroes are remembered up to a certain point till they die and then in there death they are soon forgotten.

Sitting on one of the dunes, the spikey haired arrancar sat patiently as he awaited his challenge. Being segunda meant that he needed to keep fighting to keep that name which meant that all of the lower arrancars were his foes who will someday challenge him to take his number. That was life in hueco mundo; weaklings must fight to survive and only the strongest will live, but then if one was at their peaks what was left? Hiei did not know the answer and was quite curious of the response; if there was anyone out there who knew the answer. Opening his eyes, he stared off into the empty endless desert. It went on for ever and ever and it was completely empty just like himself. He could live forever and ever, but just like the desert he was empty. Closing his red eyes, the young arrancar then stood up as he sensed the presence was near.

Turning towards the reitsu’s direction, he unsheathed his zanpakutou. He needed to prove his capabilities in battle and as well prove his loyalties towards Arngrim and though Hiei had no care to prove anything towards him; he was determined to keep his tittle. Hiei was pretty short with jet black spiky short hair with a white star burst and blood red eyes with dark circles around them due to insomnia. He had pale white skin that was covered in bandages and medical wrappings from various injuries that he inflicts upon himself in training. Hiei’s hollow bone piece was a headband that covered his third eye and as well as two very small (Almost chibi like) skeletons like wings, while his hollow hole is located on the left side of his chest.

Standing with his arms folded across his chest and a fake attempt of a smirk on his face; One could slightly notice that his right arm was bandaged which hid a very strange tattoo/marking of a black Chinese dragon that loops from just beneath his shoulder all the way down towards his hand. His number is located on his hip, but it wasn’t very visible due to his clothes. His uniform consists of a white jacket with only one sleeve on the right side hiding his bandaged arm while the left side was bare showing his full arm. He had a black sash, white hakama, black tabi and white zōri. On his left hand he had black tight gloves that show his fingers and as well go half way towards his bare elbow. His scarf on the other hand looped around his neck and slightly covered his mouth. “I wasn’t expecting you to be my test…” he said his voice coming out like ice though it hid a hint of a bad sarcasm in it.

Arngrim stood, waiting like a statue for his opponant to arrive. Today he would Fight Hiei as a test to see if the man truly was worthy of being his second espada. He'd be testing a few of the ones he though were weak, starting with the lowest number. He'd skipped starkk for the very reason that the man had been alive for centuries. No one weak could still be alive after so long. Next of course was hiei, The one who defied him by taking that bitch Marie into his protection.

He arrived eventually, all 4 and a half foot of him. Arngrim looked at him with a considering gaze. Hiei approached and spoke, and arngrim replied. "If i'm going to have my espada tested, its better that i'm the one who does it. You may begin when your ready, assume ressurection or ressurection segunda if you wish, but lets get this over with." Arngrim drew both weapons and waited to see what Hiei would do.

“I am honored, however before I get into my resurreccion; I’d like to show you something else I can do. Something none of the others can do, unless they do something actually creative with their time.” He said as he pulled out his sword. “I may be young or even the youngest out of your whole army, but I can assure you that I’m not one to waste time.” Hiei said seeing as though he is rarely on break and is always seen challenging someone stronger than himself. Channeling his own reiryoku throughout his sword, he kept it there without releasing it causing his own zanpakutou to spark violently as it glowed a black glow. “Akuru… the devils howl.” He said before fading into nothing with his vast speed.

Appearing below Arngrims right, the arrancars sonido barely made a sound as he slashed upwards performing the Senmaioroshi. The spiky haired arrancars movements were quite fast for his rank, but what made him more deadly was the fact that his sword was now three times stronger and as well filled with reiryoku. Hit, dodge or miss with the Senmaioroshi technique, an electric explosion would occur as if it were a cero; however if looked closely the electrical explosion were several sparks of energy that accumulated with each swing causing it to appear to be an electrical explosion. If blocked, with each swift strike, Arngrim would feel the electric currents against his blade; though being much stronger than Hiei it wouldn’t affect him, but it would put up a pretty good show of Hiei’s increase in power.

Vanishing again the spiky haired arrancar would then appear from above towards Arngrims left. Slashing once, the arrancar actually slashed seven times as he appeared towards Arngrims right; left forearm, left side, left front torso, throat, midsection, middle right abdominal and right wrist. Landing on the ground, the arrancar then kicked off going straight at Arngrim before vanishing again only inches away from his face to appear from below to shoot a bala at him from below. Hiei knew that he couldn’t stand a chance against Arngrim, but he wanted to prove to him that even without resureccion that he was a deadly foe and fully capable of keeping his title as the segunda espada. Hiei was the aspect of Chaos and surely proved it in each place he went to; win or lose, though with Arngrim he knew he was going to have to go into segunda a lot faster than he normally did.

Angrim nodded. "Very well, I'm waiting.." He said in his deep gravelly voice. Taking the prompt to attack, the other arrancar vanished and reapeared to his right after speaking a phrase. He slashed and Arngrim blocked, but wasn't expecting what came. The black electrical energy burst towards him and hit his right side, leaving a black scorch mark across his hierro as it smashed against him. Arngrim slapped at the energy and sent it off flying before it could do anyone damage.

Hiei moved, and slashed at him in a rapid flurry Arngrim some how managed to follow. He was a quick one, a Rival to the the god king Rui, almost. The sword hit all but his throat, leaving scratches on arngrims heirro. Arngrim countered Hiei's bala with his own. He regarded hiei for just a moment, then opened his mouth as if to speak, but instead let out a roar as fire and energy burst forth in a beam, at the speed of 3 cero and as strong as his own cero.

The results of the battle was obvious since the beginning of the match, however Hiei was determined to put up a very interesting show that Arngrim won’t easily forget. Leaving a mark behind on his hierro even though the arrancar had managed to block his sword techniques, the arrancar then cut off the energy before it was able to do anymore damage. This was expected of their leader yet Hiei was still shocked as he barely tried. Narrowing his eyes, he then went for his second attempt in which he realized his eyes were following him even though he was using great speed.

Grinning widely the arrancar looked as though he had lost his marbles; though he was not grinning because of madness or arrogance, but because he felt the same sense of dread like feeling he felt the first time he had encountered Jeff and Beroli’m. At that time they were both stronger than him and Hiei was only an underling which was always causing trouble within the upper ranked members. He was always in a fight and especially against those much stronger than himself, but never had he once felt this much of a power difference before. It was frightening and yet he was embracing it.

Only scratching Arngrim’s tough skin, he shot a bala which was completely destroyed by Arngrim’s own bala. Using shunpo out of the area, Argrims bala not only consumed his bala but as well continued to go all out and would have made contact. Landing just inches away from the explosion, Arngrim went to speak but instead let out a roar as a beam was shot directly at Hiei. Hiei could have moved; he should have moved, but he didn’t. this was a battle to show potential and Hiei was going to prove himself more than worthy to be Arngrim’s number two even if he was going to be shredded to pieces.

Glowing his zanpakutou and his body alike, Hiei focused his reiryoku completely on the sword as his reitsu sparked around his body. By using two hands as the beam reached him, Hiei attempted to cut right down the middle of Arngrim’s beam. Reitsu was going crazy within the area and the sand was becoming glass all around him from the heat of Arngrim’s beam and as well as from the heat of Hiei’s fire. Holding his position, Hiei preformed a Ryodan; however Arngrims beam wasn’t easy to take down just like that. For a moment Hiei just fought for control against the beam, however Arngrims beam was still pushing Hiei backwards making it quite difficult to bring the sword down.

Struggling with the beam, Hiei was finally able to cut it down in half right down the middle as protecting himself from most of the attack while the other part of the attack went by both sides of him. As the beam vanished, two pillars that were on both sides of Hiei were missing as Hiei stood covered in burns. Hie wasn’t very effective towards fire, but the blast was still enough to burn him. “As I said, I may be young or even the youngest out of your whole army, but I can assure you that I’m not one to waste time and I am more than worthy to be your Segundo…” he said as his body glowed brightly. “Resurreccion…” he said as his bodied emitted a powerful reitsu.

Shifting into his resurreccion form, Hiei gained a very strange outfit with a white hollow like devil mask and funny looking clothes. Beneath the clothes he had purple eyes all over his body while his own became black with red irises which weren’t very noticeable seeing as though he had a great shadow beneath his eyes. The dark shadow concealed his face as if it were a blind fold and thus making only his glowing red pupils stick out of the darkness. His small hollow bone wings quickly become black as they were now able to shift in sizes becoming large enough to fly as his nails became black and sharper.

“Ensatsu kokuryuha” he said as he finished his transformation, letting Arngrim get a good look at him, he almost instantly used a technique in which Hiei moved so fast that he looked like he had created copies of himself which in fact it was just a result of how fast he was. Transporting around his body twelve times in one swift move he jabbed his sword into Arngrims body attacking only once per every transports and appearing from distinctive angles in attempt to shred Arngrim apart with his devil’s howl technique.
