God Yet Lives

"That was more an observation that time." Yue sighed, "You're still a bit rigid in your poster. You need to loosen it up a bit, here lemme show you."

Yue assumed a stance. His legs were loose and bent slightly at the knees before he began to move up and down very slightly, bending at the knees and keeping in motion, though subtly. He kept his arms away from his body with his left arm turned so his hand was facing palm up, open palm style. His right arm was the opposite and kept closer to the body but still open palm style. It looked vaguely like Tai Chi but most likely was not.

Kira was probably still training.

Atsuko was still lying in her hospital bed, hoping for a nice glass of water sometime.

*Taiyo jumps and away from Chesed.*

"Sorry! Umm... what kind of experiment?"

<He did not say. I did not ask.>
===========================================
S"Well, I did program it so that it would self-destruct whenever anyone touched anything besides floors or walls."

A"Why would you do that?! One of us could have been hurt!"

S"Unlikely. I also programmed an explicit warning every time someone entered a room that, should they touch anything, they WILL be killed. You'd have to have a head full of rocks to fall into that trap."
=================================================
*Scary Glasses Flash.*

<Since when were you under the impression...that I wasn't armed?>
=================================================
L"On what I told you earlier."

~A few seconds later~

E"So...your mom & Keter...did they serve around the same time?"

L"It was before I was born, but yeah, she mentioned being a Captain around the same time as Keter & some of her subordinates. They fought on opposite sides during a civil war."
==========================================
OOC: And everyone forgot Enkidu even existed.

Mortal shrugged, "It really isn't an issue. Only Senthose and I had the means to enter Death's Gorge. So, no one was in any real danger."

--

Noctis let out a small sigh, "Even the hundred year old spirits are not beyond in fighting it seems," She said. Noct then held out a hand, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend, I just find it a bit... ironic."

OOC: Because you rarely state exactly who is saying or doing what, I will sometimes miss things like that.

IC:
As the girl lunged closer to him, he opened his mouth and released a very large plume of fire from his mouth directly into her path while grabbing for her with his left hand.

"You look ridiculous," Astarte stated flatly before vaguely imitating what he was doing.

OOC: You've also got an FFT to post in.

L"It's fine. Also, we're here."
=====================================
*She tries to slash away the fire & ends up being grabbed around the torso. With her sword arm free, she does what's natural & starts bashing his thumb with her mace.*
=====================================
A"What are you here for, anyway?"

S"You almost sound like you don't want me around. I already said it, I have to wait for my latest schemes to take effect."

Mortal furrowed her brow, "I do find it odd that you'd wait... here. You're not really close by until things have already happened, you need me to make something happen soon, or you're complaining about something I didn't help you make happen."

--

Noctis asked for a table for three.

"Don't worry this isn't my actual fighting stance just loosening my body up" so it was tai chi. As was confirmed when he did a few kata. That done he smiled.

"Some Tai Chi usually helps with loosening the body up. When fighting its impossible to truly not be tense but being too tense can affect your fighting ability."

---

"A'right yer funeral" Kujaku walked over to one of Karasu's samurai charms and promptly took its sword before using the same sword to slice it in half.

"HEY!!"

"What? I need a medium for my fullbring ya fuckin' moron."

"Not my fault you didn't bring a decent medium with you."

"Ah shut up Karasu" Kujaku ran his hand along the sword causing it to change, "Sword Samurai X"

Enkidu tightened his grip considerably, squeezing the air from her lungs before breathing even more fire onto her.
As he did this, he swung his axe around in the air above his head and spewing flames all over the town and it's residents.
So much for you killing me, little girl!

Astarte performed a single kata, and listened to what he said.
"Most of this I know already," She sighed. "I haven't had a problem with being too physically tense in fighting. I move fine."

S"You know, maybe I should go back to the world of the living after all. I met the nicest lady recently. With a great personality. And very intelligent. You know, I think I may be in love"

A"Really?"

S"No. I am being sarcastic. Can't you tell?"

A"You always sound like that...wait, are you being sarcastic about being sarcastic?"

S"...No."
===========================================
*Euryale asks that they're allowed to eat outside. Soon afterwards, they're outside at a table with a small umbrella over it, being asked if they're ready to order.*
===========================================
John<Nice weapon. Very shiny. I like shiny.>
===========================================
*For some reason, the flames aren't reaching their target. The next minute, Enkidu notices that the lieutenant is missing. She reappears on the building in front of him, along with a Soul Reaper Captain with dirty blond hair & a slightly blue-tinged Shihaksho. He has a metal gauntlet covering his entire sword-arm, & his weapon is a longsword.*

Tipheret<Damn it...I didn't ask for your help....>

*He puts her down as she passes out.*

Captain<Sorry for interrupting your fought, but I wasn't about to let my lieutenant die...and that goes for you too, monster.>

*After he says this, Enkidu hears loud thunder cracks behind various buildings, even though there isn't a cloud in the sky.*

Aw, shit. I hadn't expected a Captain to arrive so soon. This might turn pretty ugly.
"I'll crush you just like I was about to crush that cocky whelp!" Enkidu roared, swinging his axe in the Captain's direction and blasting fire at his right side.
Lowering his other hand to his side, Enkidu clicked his fingers. About fifty metres behind him, a gigantic Garganta began to split open.
Just in case...

"Is that what you think?"

---

"Ya think so?"

"Oh... Okay."

*He points his sword towards Enkidu. Several things happen at once. He feels like he hits a wall with his axe. The flames go out. Several lacerations appear across his chest. And he hears an extremely loud feminine scream.*

<You know, I'm not as married to the concepts of strength & justice as the rest of my squad, but I do think my lieutenant was right about you. In the end, you're just a coward who only bullies people he thinks he can beat, aren't you?>
===========================================
*Chesed leads Taiyo to the Squad 12 barracks where both Urahara & Venezuela are examining a computer model. Urahara gets up & presses a button so part of the wall slides away, revealing a pair of bird cages containing fire.*

Urahara<Taiyo, it's so good of you to show up on such short notice.>

*Taiyo runs up and tackle hugs Venezuela.*

"I missed you so much!"

Kujaku vanished. His image flickered before it too vanished. He struck at John's shoulder on the pass before seemingly reappearing behind John and making a sheathing motion.

<An after-image only works by overwhelming the eye. But I can actually detect which things are currently reflecting light.>

*He points at the real Kujaku. Then an excessively bright flash of light appears out of nowhere. For a brief moment, all of the rocks sparkle. As does the armor & weapons of the skeletons.*

<And now everything in here is connected to the Mirror World.>
=============================================
"I was only gone for a few hours."

"You were? Somehow it seemed longer..."

"Yes, my motion is fine," Astarte nodded. "My faults have not been with whether I can hit someone or not. After my release I usually just use lightening anyway. I believe you are overstepping yourself."

"Enough of this!" Enkidu roared, ignoring the cuts on his chest. "I will not be spoken to in such a manner by you!"
Taking a step backwards and retracting his arms, he tensed his body before throwing himself forward towards his target. Simultaneously, he poured flames from his axe towards Noah and threw his other fist into a punch aiming for the unconscious Lieutenant.

*With one hand, he charges a large amount of blue lightning, which he blasts right through the fire into his chest, pushing him back. While doing this, he points the sword in Enkidu's direction. It lets out a noise like a gong & the lightning becomes much larger, burning into his chest & throwing him into the sea outside of the building. The Captain lands on the beach & looks at the Garganta he had opened.*

<As I suspected. If you wish to run away while you still have the chance, I won't stop you. But never leave Hueco Mundo again. And remember the name Noah Deluge.>
============================================
Urahara<You probably missed the news. The Soul Society is planning on invading Hell with the help of some of those Arrancars from the Aamon Incident.>

*He withdraws the bird cages.*

Urahara<Inside these is the Hell Miasma. Senthose & I believe that it enhances the abilities of those who breathe it in, & are trying to test its effects.>

Enkidu stood up from the water, a large amount of steam rising from his body.
I could still fight him, but his power... it seems perfectly fit for combating somebody of my size. As long as he can stay ahead of me I won't be able to get close to him.
"Noah Deluge..." Enkidu growled as he stepped out of the ocean and advanced towards the Captain. "I will remember your name."
Before another word was spoken, a ball of flame shot into the sand before expanding and circling around his massive body before jumping over to create a dome around Noah.
Almost immediately after that, Enkidu stood within a closing Garganta, glaring at the Captain Noah Deluge.

*Taiyo proceeds to hide behind Venezuela.*

"That doesn't look like something I want to do."

Yue sighed, "I see, I thought I could finally pass on the style to someone. I was mistaken."

---

Karasu whistles, "He got you Kujaku, never seen anyone be able to track Kujaku's movements like that except me."

"Yeah Yeah, whatever"

Mortal sat down and let out a small yawn, "So, who is this 'wonderful' human?"

--

Noctis was, but didn't want to order without everyone being ready so she waited for someone else to signal that they were ready.
