Soran vs Michael

A garganta opened into the human world. Out of it stepped an Arrancar with short spiky black hair and golden eyes with a clean cut face. It was raining in a vast bamboo forest. Soran was near the town he was born in Japan.

He walked through the bamboo until he came across a large open area in the center of the forest. The area was twenty feet in circumference. Soran heard somebody approaching and stood in place.

The curious Arrancar's arms remained to his sides at the ready, both fists easily capable of becoming lethal weapons at any instant. His legs were spread and ready to jump or dodge at any moment if needed, however he left a calm exposure on his overall appearance as he waited to see who was approaching.

(OOC - Since you tried to force my appearance instead you get an animal and an hours wait.)

The thicket shuffled as an animal walked out and stared at the Arrancar. As an animal it realized the evil nature of the hollow and also realized how much danger it was in..so it carefully tried to slink off in a direction not in the way of the hollow. In the distance the Arrancar's energy could be felt easily since he was not attempting to suppress it at all. Causing a lone wanderer named Michael to take note of it since he was hiking around Japan's environments for the experience of having done so.

About an hour later Michael would have finally arrived at the area where he first detected the hollow's negative energy. He did not know if he would find anyone however nor did he really care.. Spiritual beings had no right getting out of their respected dimensions and messing around on a planet they had already died on and left.

Should the Arrancar still be in the area..well..Michael would have to do something about that now wouldn't he.

Soran tilted his head at the animal that emerged. It was a stray cat trying to find its way out of the rain. Soran walked over to the center of the field and sat down. The rain was pouring on his head while he closed his golden eyes and began to meditate.

The rain continued for about an hour or so and then died down. Soran had completed his meditation for the day and stood to his feet. That was when he heard somebody approaching. Definately bigger than a cat. So he just stood there and waited

Michael sighed a bit, not for any real reason but to exhale in that manner out of boredom, as he stepped into the large clearing and showing his 5'8'' standing figure skinny short haired blonde who looked no older than sixteen, before pulling out a pack of cigarettes only to pull out a blunt and slip it into his mouth having lit it somehow before doing so as he didn't show his tricks just yet to the hollow who had stuck around. Blowing out a puff of weed smoke before bothering to speak.

"You have no business here. Begone." He said as if he was the police and this man was an intruder in someone's house, "Defiance will result in death and there is nothing you can say to alter what is about to occur." He stepped forward and just walked towards the hollow seemingly unarmed. His powers were basically passive and thus even unarmed he was at full guard with just one opening in his defense purposely left open on his right side of his torso to basically beg the arrancar to attack where Michael wanted him to attack.

If the arrancar was stupid enough to let Michael keep walking he would walk until his nose was touching the arrancar's..which would be error one for the poor thing as as soon as contact was created between them physically the arrancar would have burst into flames..

Soran watched as a blonde haired teenager emerged from the forest and started smoking a blunt. The smell of human was coming off of this individual as he was still alive and Soran had been eating many of his kind lately. The Arrancar was urged to ask for a hit off of it. But before he could even ask for a friendly gesture; the teen began to speak.

"You have no business here. Begone." He said, revealing that he knew what Soran really was. This slightly surprised Soran as he had never been recognized for what he really was by a human before. "Defiance will result in death and there is nothing you can say to alter what is about to occur."

Soran smiled and tilted his head at the human with fairly big grin; revealing an entire mouthful of razor-sharp fangs. He stepped forward and just walked towards the hollow seemingly unarmed. Soran examined the stranger's stance as he approached. He was either very confident or very foolish to approach an Arrancar so calmly.

Soran just stood in place with the same grin on his face until the teen was approximately seven meters away. The Rogue merely lifted his arm up calmly and fired a low energy bala directly at the teen's opening on the right side of his torso.

Soran's grin:

Michael merely kept on the exact path he had started walking until he made it to the Arrancar in the same manner as before being hit by a projectile that essentially did nothing because he had his "flames" activate under his cloak and clothing just enough to use it to harden his clothing enough to deter such a weak projectile attack. Blowing out another puff of used up weed smoke without even taking the blunt from his lips he closed the gap between him and the hollow without stopping or showing signs of hostility. The thing wasn't really making an effort so neither would Michael..

"Last warning. Leave or perish monster" If the arrancar did anything besides open a garganta. Whether it be blink or speak or move Michael would immediately do a low kick without shifting his position aiming for the man's shin with a foot that was seemingly now on fire. If contact was made the flame would ignite on the hollow at that spot..if not oh well the kick was so minimal of movement there would have been no time to try and counter it even if the man was as fast as Michael.. but this was just a ruse anyways as Michael would have pulled a shotgun out of nowhere and unleashed a point blank scatter shot with it.. it of course having the necessary ammunition to injure spiritual beings.

The weak bala hit the blonde haired teen and Soran returned to his normal stance. Something didn't feel right about this guy. Any other human he had come across would've either had a hole blown through their chest or been knocked on their ass from a minor energy attack like that. At an instant, the stranger had closed the gap between them.

"Last warning. Leave or perish monster". This was truly surprising, this young human had potential, Soran could see it in his eyes. Soran smirked at the challenge and merely replied, "Show me what you got!".

Once the Arrancar accepted the challenge; the teen immediately performed a low kick aiming for the Rogue's shin with a foot that was seemingly now on fire. Soran reacted instinctively rather than cleverly. The Rogue lifted his foot up on the leg that was being aimed for and stomped down on the teen's foot with his own.

Instantaneously, Soran's foot had combusted and was now on fire, despite being soaking wet from the earlier rain. But there wasn't enough time to worry about that. Once Soran stomped down on his opponent's foot; a shotgun was pointed directly at his face. He ignored the pain of the flames. His regenerative properties would kick in soon enough to heal the burns on his foot.

Soran immediately grabbed the double-barreled tip of the gun with his left hand and pointed it upward so the shot would be fired away from him. He simultaneously thrusted the palm of his hand approximately an inch away from the largest part of the teen's torso and fired a cero. And at the same exact instant he motioned the gun away from himself; the streaming, powerful beam of energy was released at a very close range.

This cero was crimson red and shot at a very powerful rate from point blank range. This powerful beam of pure energy was released a mere nanosecond before the shotgun was fired away from the Arrancar.

The cero missed entirely because Michael dematerialized his shotgun the moment it was grabbed so that he wasn't yanked around by it and moved to the man's right as his hand came forward. Michael didn't know a cero was about to be fired but he didn't let anyone touch him unless he couldn't help it so this part was more training based luck than actual knowledge lucky him eh.. Now that he was at the man's side he just stood there with an almost bored look on his face despite the fact his opponent seemed quite happy..

and then the man's leg caught fire as Michael's minor manipulation over his flames kicked in and spread the energy upwards. The flame burst as if someone had thrown a cup of gasoline on it and remained like that for at least 5 seconds.. Seconds Michael used to attack with a flaming fist that also happened to have metal spikes on it because of his special gloves straight for the man's lower jaw with every intention of trying to unhinge that side so he could dislocate it later. The mouth was a weapon to some hollow and thus needed to go as an extra precaution for Michael..

Again these were ruses as his other hand materialized a couple of vibroknives which he then tossed at Soran's middle torso. The nice thing about them was they vibrated at extreme speeds so that if this hollow had a heirro it would still hurt..they also happened to be as strong as zanpaktou steel from what Michael had heard of them..but this was the first combat test he had had with them so he was about to find out for sure..

Just as he tossed those knives he would have done a quick spin, pulling out an RPG in the process, dropped to a knee, locked on, and fired the missile at the monster within seconds of his tossing of the knives.. If the missile managed to hit Soran or anything else it would have exploded with the power of an arrancar's gran rey cero as well..

Soran's eyes widened in disbelief as the shotgun dematerialized from his hand and the teen avoided his cero by spinning out of the way. The flames on Soran's leg began to spread rapidly and he knew he needed to put them out. The swift warrior used an afterimage in order to avoid the fire punch and get away from the teen.

Two vibrating daggers were then thrown at the Arrancar. He managed to avoid one completely by jumping out of the way while the other cut his left shoulder. Soran placed his right hand over his shoulder that just got cut and kept the blood on it. While exclaiming "Give me Strength!!!"

The time for playing games was over. Soran's shadow arose from the ground beneath him and extinguished the flames around his leg as well as completely healing all of his wounds. all of his cells were now fused into a level of saturation of darkness.

Soran watched as his opponent performed a quick spin, pulling out an RPG in the process, dropped to one knee, locked on, and fired a missile at the Arrancar within seconds of his tossing of the knives.

In his Resurrección he was able to manipulate the wind around himself in order to create a synthetic current of air. This current redirected the missile right back at the teen. Soran then began to charge a large amount of energy into his right hand. He then waited to see the outcome of redirecting the missile.

Michael grinned as one of the knive had hit the man for he had covered the very edge with a very small amount of his flames. Causing the graze to burn slightly as it began to act like a very slow acid.. it wouldn't do any real damage for a little bit but it would sure sting. Then frowned as he had his rocket aimed back at him. He jumped in the air high enough to make it seem like he believed he would avoid it only to slowly begin to descend as the explosion neared him and smoke covered the sight of him.

He had used his tentoken cloak to gain the power of flight and had actually dashed off in time to avoid the blast. He used this time of obscured vision to notice a larger build up of energy coming from the arrancar, who Michael had just realized had released into his truer form.

He used the few seconds he was obscured to hot box a Reiatsu grenade in his left hand. Should the arrancar show up before he was ready Michael would simply have to get hit by it along with his foe and he didn't mind that right now. As soon as either event occured Michael, who had no problem taking one little cero at the moment, pulled his shotgun again and lit it on fire, the first thing anyone knowing anything about gun's would think is oh my god the gun's gonna blow, but since Michael's flames were merely highly manipulated energy this did not happen and it allowed him to fire off a scatter barrage from the shotgun of three shots covering the right the left and up around the Arrancar as well as directly at him.

Which left him going either backwards or to the right. In either case Michael would bullet stomp himself forward leaving a crater in the ground where he had been standing as he propelled himself forward or to the left to correspond with the arrancar's dodge.. at the same time his shotgun was replaced by a large scythe who's blade had been lit on fire with Michael's olive flames and was swung at him horizontally trying to cut him in half at the torso.

Soran's shoulder was starting to sting, but his advanced regeneration quickly healed that up as he was still charging the massive amount of energy in his right hand. At the very instant that Michael jumped in the air and attempted to jump in the air to dash off.

Soran merely Sonido'd directly in front of where the human at the very instant he leapt into the air and tried flying away. At the distance Soran was at, the missile wouldn't affect him as he was just outside the rate of the explosion. Not that Soran had this information, it was just by coincidence. However, if he were to attack now, his opponent would still be within the "line of fire" so to speak. So Soran fired the charged up Gran Rey Cero from his right hand at the very instant he Sonido's and the missile detonated behind the man. The sheer power of this cero was large and wide enough that it would be extremely difficult to avoid considering the velocity that the foe was coming directly towards him at a very rapid rate trying to avoid the blast and the fact that there was an explosion of equal power coming from directly behind him as well that he was trying to avoid in the first place.

While firing the Gran Rey Cero with his right hand, Soran used his left hand to simultaneously control the current and force of the wind surrounding each side of the human to gust vigorously and violently in an attempt to make sure that he couldn't escape. If he tried to move up, down, left or right the wind manipulation being forced from Soran would violently pulse and jet of powerful stream of wind to blow him back in place while the explosion of the missile and Gran Rey Cero were closing in on him from both sides rapidly.

Soran made sure he would be able to avoid any type of attack the teen may perform. Soran used this time to make sure he would avoid a slash performed by the teen. The Rogue Arrancar was now floating in the air and observing what the man would do next while preparing for anything that may come his way.
