It has begun, the encounter between two shinigami has gone underway with Shirogane making the first attempt, using a binding kido to restain this Lt of squad two by locking her arms. Success. Managing to impede on this swine motions, having them shackled up like a pig forcefully. During the action, Shirogane has taken upon himself to perform towards the opposing side. It would seem he has made her a bit too light on account of executing a low-level kido. Though she's been restrained under the spell, this ooze like substance. The very same likeness of that, of Captain Kojima, the essence was uncanny, but the shape was different. It seems to act on itself where it launches toward Shirogane at breakneck speed. The substance of her Shikai proves that it must be something she can control mentally. For her hands were bound behind her back, surely there wasn't a gesture made. This feeble action would cost him dearly. It would seem that it would take just a little more effort to handle this young woman. Whatever she once was beforehand, the entire persona discarded. The intention of this woman to either kill or harm is undetermined. Despite this demeanor and aura, she seems to give off about her. Admittedly, this was the equivalence and training of division 2 to mask not only their movements and their mind. But the hidden intentions of their actions as well.
Shirogane wasn't surprised, but all wasn't for naught. He gets to perform his duties to the fullest. There was a probable cause for his actions, even moreso that this one is very dull in their thinking. Maybe they weren't at all. Perhaps they lost all sense and only acting in a way it only knows. Not only refusing to leave with an officer of the law but taking the matters in their own hands by attacking a royal official is another matter within itself. These four tendrils targeted in a single direction, just as when the casting of the spell
Sai on the Lt. Thankfully, he remains guarded at all times once approaching. With that utilizing a technique that many shinigami knows and performing these high-speed step to bypass these black substance. He couldn't help that his approach would have to change. But given this confrontation between them reminds him of his test. However, despite how she may feel as mentioned before, he didn't have time to waste on someone who could have made this easy. After performing
Utsusemi (空蝉, Cast-Off Cicada Shell; Viz "Cicada Shell"), leaving a vivid image behind in his place. Of course, there was no indication of him ever performing this technique, nor any evidence of sensing his spiritual essence and completely masking his presence to be felt or detected by any source. Shirogane had operated his shunpo ability to it's highest standard of mastery. Using this wasn't to get away but by gaining some distance behind the Lt.
Appearing about 20 feet behind the Lieutenant in just a split second, without him knowing a few of the droplets of ooze fell upon his shihakusho. No words were ever utter or gesture made; all that needed it was for her to be in his sights. The afterimage in his stead didn't last but 30 seconds if the young one before him has not figured it out before then. For the next move, all he ever needed was three. Soon a pale blue line formed around the Lieutenant as fast as they both had been performing their latest techniques, which the lines each connected into four points, top and bottom. He supposedly created a rectangular barrier, leaving only 25 square feet of space and trapping the target in what seems to be
Bakudō #73. Tozanshō (倒山晶, Inverse Mountain Crystal; Viz "Falling Mountain Crystal") Some create the shape to be an upside-down pyramid, at least those who perform this high-level kido. But with Shirogane mastery with Kido and control over reiryoku, the form is just a 6 feet tall rectangular. Unlike
bakudo sai, this won't be a kido that she could easily break had it been successfully capable of trapping the Lt. He didn't let down his guard even when he felt that he had this confrontation in his favor. The kido was strong enough to hold her and now allow her Shikai to run rampant or do as it please. Hopefully, by trapping the pink-haired Lt, her Shikai would no longer be usable. Being as it may, this substance comes from her body like a symbiotic entity. As he waits for the results, one, like Lt of Division 11, Ueki would see that Shirogane zanpakuto drawn. However, it didn't appear like a regular asauchi. The zanpakuto he held in the right hand had a different appearance to it. The blade itself had many different layers about it, from the guard to the tip Shirogane's zanpakuto had this crystalline along the surface. But when? There was also a floating mirror hovering just above his head, moving as if it's connected to him. Shirogane relationship with his spirit is very close and strong enough to wield its power without having to recite the words to awaken him. In times such as this, calling its name would only give the target a chance to locate his whereabouts. Not that performing tozansho was an ultimate ability, or using it was his only option. She surprisingly broke free of the bakudo sai technique. Whatever strength she possesses couldn't have been just Lt level. The kido itself may have been weak, but his spiritual energy behind it was enough to bind an immense level of spiritual power. Therefore, that is evident that she wields more power than she let on. Or this Lt has a stronger will and strength that allowed her to break free. Learning of this power she wields resulted in using a more prime-level kido the moment she attempted to break free of the lowly spell. But in case she did get beside herself yet again, he would have resulted in using a more drastic step.
The Lt of division 11 manages to flee or instead gain some distance away from this fight. Ironically, enough, he escaped out of fear? Or didn't plan to do anything at all? And all that talk about stopping them was just him trying to convince himself that he had a chance of doing something? Though his actions says, he can't do anything right now. It's unlike a member of the
'brute' squad to do nothing while a fight is commencing. Soft. What comes to mind. But neither his fleeing action could save him. Sadly, he would too be caught up in what's about to happen. While the latest kido cast, Shirogane body begins to manifest this bright silver light.
Bankai.......
Those words whispered from his lips, and the wind would circle viciously into a sphere around his body. Only lasted 5 seconds tops, where before anyone eyes that watched him, would come to bear witness Shirogane wielding that same zanpakuto that would
"appear" to still be in Shikai while the left arm. Oh, the left limb was indeed different, gaining an additional piece, encased in a crystalline dark platinum armor. The armor only covers up to the elbow, while the hand had sharp claw-like features with a square silver diamond on the back of the hand. Shirogane's mirror that floated before vanished and the sheath that's worn left of the hip is on the right hip. The environment around both Lieutenants is inverted, with only a few indications of that being so. Any piece on their attire, the way they carry their swords, reversed. However, the environment remains as it is under Shirogane's control. The buildings, the ground, they all stay the same, but it would seem quieter, the presence of those that they once felt is no longer in reach as these three souls were the only ones left in the Soul Society. Without them realizing, this new dimension can be shifted to the liking of Shirogane, using the power of
Subete no hansha (すべての反射; Reflection of All). Everything they see, feel, hear is nothing more than just that — a reflection. Now let's see how things unfolded between the Lt and Shirogane.
