"Pinky's Play Time": (continued) The noble’s eyes smoldered at the indignation visited upon his person and the casual ‘mistake’ of his tormentor. Water dribbled down his face and the soaked clothes weighed down his limbs. It was childish. Scoffing, the noble drew his blade, pausing as the lieutenant rose from his own fall. Staggering to his feet, Kira flung his hair out of his face. “Why that cannibalistic, no good, virus-ridden freak show!” he growled deeply.
"You can narcissistic and clumsy to that list,” the noble murmured, unleashing his blade around both of them in an intense whirlwind. Releasing them a few moments later relatively dry again. Kira’s lips twitched up into a smile, itching to tell Renji the use of his captain’s dry wit. He bowed quickly. “I didn’t realize you could do that,” he stated. “Thank you.” “Drenching gives the enemy an advantage,” Captain Kuchiki responded, lowering his hilt. He turned. “And when we’ve accelerated to the next level, it is better to be at our best.”

“The final level, you mean,” Izuru murmured, seeing the number 5 over a closed door on the other end. He prepared to draw his zanpakuto but stopped when Captain Kuchiki raised a hand towards him, using the silent speech of the Stealth Force for Kido. It’s possible the enemy doesn’t know of your ability, he continued. “Keep that way.”
Izuru nodded, releasing his blade and stepping forward slowly, careful not to slip on the puddle. The dark room was beaten dirt and stone, wide and echoing. His hair itched. Izuru stiffened. “I don’t like being watched,” he whispered. He lit up a ball of red fire in his hand. "Or being hunted."

Byakuya could feel his own sense of rage at the whole situation set out before them scratch at his focus when being this close to the end. If it was the end. “It is time to finish this game.” His eyes narrowed, recalling his control. Withdrawing the spike of emotion. A spiral of blossoms wrapped around the lieutenant’s and captain's forms, winding upwards, and then exploded outwards. Covering the room in white. The blossoms blanketed the floor, canopied the ceiling, and twirled around the noble. The noble captain stepped towards the center and halted, closing his eyes. “Come out, hollow,” he demanded. “Your use of us ends now.”

Fire erupted around them as the puddles of water boiled and steam filled the room. Visibility was poor and the smell of singed hair and hot metal welled up around them. "Maybe you should have left the drying to me. You would not have gotten burned as badly."
The voice echoed around them staying hidden within the steam and shifting walls around them. Loud clanks with metal sliding together thuds and scraping echoes around them. The room was changing walls closing in around them trying to separate them. As Izuru darted to his left another blast of flames cut him off causing his to change direction and go to his right. A wall slamming closed in front of him catching a piece of his clothing between the closing walls.
A laugh echoed around them as he watched the lieutenant struggle to become free. "Watch your limbs. If they get caught in a closing wall you will lose it."

Izuru’s eyes narrowed. “I am really getting tired of being directed like some species of sheep.” He yanked off the sleeves of his uniform, breaking free of the damned contraption, Topless, he raised an arm before him as another geyser of fire erupted beside him. “Very funny display, V-man,” he grumbled.
Another spark of fire appeared on his right, but this time Izuru used a wind kido to blow it against the wall. “Can you get out here so we can put your show to the test?” he called out louder, waving his hand to clear his eyes from the steam.

"But I am out here," Vacanze spoke from behind. Before Izuru could turn around, he was slammed again a shifting wall a few feet from Vacanze. "DAMN! That had to hurt! You alright, dude?" As Vacanze started to laugh, he leaped straight up, continuing to laugh as a cloud of white petals went his way.
"Good try Noble, but you seem to forget. I know both yours and Izuru's powers and what they can and can't do."
Another flame shot out across the Maze floor, causing more steam to rise as another circled around the Noble.

The noble’s eyes flickered to his companion before returning to following the path of their enemy. His circle of petals flowed around him, and as the fire licked closer to his sleeve, he titled his hilt upwards. The mas thickened, wrapping the flame in a white whirlwind. “You flames are not Segunda’s,” the captain murmured from within, eyes closed. “They cannot destroy nearly enough to worry me.” Once again, his petals appeared all around the room, twisting effortlessly around the walls, and erupted outwards into blur of white. Two of the walls shattered into rock, before being whipped up into the typhoon. The noble’s eyes closed tighter, sinking into deeper communion with his blade.
It would take precision to catch and not destroy the fire wielder. But such was what his honor dictated.

Izuru blinked rapidly, unnerved by the white shield that was swirling through the room yet not touching him even as he dodged another barely visible wall running at him. He clicked his tongue, needing to see more. As if waiting for him to adjust to the level of power, the cyclone protecting him expanded. He backed up, nearly being rammed into another wall. “Not this time,” he hissed. “Raise your head, Wabisuke.” Dancing with the shield wrapped around him, he slid his hooked blade across three of the four walls remaining two times and halted as they creaked to a halt and fell over.
Heat at his feet alerted him to another geyser. He spun around and spun the flame into the whirlwind of petals, wincing as they ate it up as if they were water. I hope Kuchiki knows what he is doing. We can’t go killing V-man.
“Open the gate, Szayel,” he hollered. “Vacanze’s tricks are no match for the power before you and-” His eyes widened as Vacanze emerged from the ground with the next geyser and drew his bow.
“Oh no, you don’t,” he growled, erecting a Danku wall.
Eyes flint, Izuru vanished and appeared behind Vacanze, swinging the back of his blade into his back. “Snap out of it, Vacanze. You’re on the losing side.”

Vacanze dropped to his knees as he spun with one leg extended sweeping Izuru's legs from under him. Just then a cloud of white petals surrounded him. Vacanze laughed as he grabbed Izuru by the ankle and jerked him up holding him in a head lock in front of him.
"Go ahead Captain. Let them come crashing into me. Then you can explain how you killed Izuru to Sojiro, Gin and the lovely Ki--" Vacanze growled deeply as his head dropped, his free hand going to the side of his head. It surged with pain like a hot dagger pierced his skull.
"DO IT!!" Vacanze bellowed tightening his hold on Izuru's neck.

The image in front of the espada wavered, making the furious hollow blink. “It is already done,” the noble's voice murmured. As his Utsusemi shell disappeared, Vacanze became aware of being without his powers. Behind him, Captain Kuchiki closed his eyes. “I have performed Senka on you. It will wear off when you awake. And I tell you this only because of what you are underneath the lies.” Vacanze slumped to the ground.
Byakuya obsidian eyes opened and clenched his hand shattering a camera on the wall. “The victory has been decided. Open the door, lowly one.”

Szayel chuckled and bowed mockingly even thought the Nobel could not see him do so. "As you wish Captain Kuchiki." The Espadas tone a little too joyful at his victory. "Would you like a cup of tea once you are free?"
Szayel snickered as the wall marked with the number five sunk back and slid open. Revealing a pitch black room the two men stepped toward the opening door.

Izuru’s smile slipped at that tone of scientist’s but then assessed it as giddy to tell Gin that his game had failed. The captain strode quickly towards the dark opening and Izuru followed him. And nearly fell on his face.
Clinging to the wall as a sickly sweet smell nearly overcame his senses, Izuru growled and shunpo’ed backwards. Had Captain Kuchiki fallen in there? And what -
He fell to his knees as his eyes watered and his vision wavered.
Though his temper exploded.
“WHAT THE HELL, YOU UGLY LAME-HAIRED CHEATER?! HE WON! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU UP TO?!” he shouted. “THE RULES ARE WE GET OUT WHEN WE WIN.” It was just too wrong — to be that close and yet…. not. It made his stomach curdle. “I’LL HAVE GIN SKIN YOU ALIVE!” he screamed.
He stumbled up. He’d get Captain Kuchiki out of there… and then …. his leg went numb and he stumbled.

Szayel chuckled, "You won't be going anywhere. It's a shame you are protected. You're another I would like to experiment on, but I guess the captain will have to do for now. Throw away the small fish for a bigger one. I can live with that." Szayel chuckled louder.
"And to your rant. You are getting out. Just not to where you want. You however..." a heavy sigh slipped from his lips. "The Goddess will get the pleasure of your company. I can't have you blabbing to the others what you have seen. Tootles..."
The speaker went dead as two fraccion came out and grabbed Izuru by the arms. His weapon disappearing from his side as he went to grab for it.Moved

"Phase II": (Continued) Sadow sped through the passages of the maze, turning corners as she made her way to the center of the maze. Her black feathers were her guide through the maze, as well as her defense.
Having torn down several wandering hollows, Sadow unleashed a fury of her razor sharp feathers at the walls of the maze. As the unrelenting attack continued, digging a hole into the wall, Sadow disappeared into the cloud of debris.Moved
