[BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
This is the first "episode" thread, for things people want to do without taking up space in one of the main threads, or which take place before the current events. I mean, BleachITP technically has equal status to ACRO/The Town, so why does it need to be so bottled up?
This thread will conclude the battle between Shirubaru Reishiro and "Cecilia", which took place shortly before the death of Yen.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
As the blade strikes down two massive hands come together, trapping it. Without leaving go she rolls to the side, attempting to bring Shirubaru with her.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Coming to her feet, Cecilia grunts as the beam blasts a chunk off her helmet, then delivers another charged punch straight down at Shirubaru.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Shirubaru lifts up his sword and blocks the punch with the flat of his blade, sliding the blow to one side so that it crashes into the ground instead.
He rolls away and vaults to his feet, his Zanpaktou already lashing out towards Cecilia like a whip, the tail-blade swinging down towards her while he holds onto the snake-head.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Cecilia's punch splits the ground. As the tail-blade slashes out, Cecilia blocks it with her arm. It takes some damage, but the armour is thick there. With her other arm she grabs the tail and pulls hard.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Shirubaru is hauled through the air towards her, a massive grin on his face.
If Cecilia were to look down, she would see the Zanpaktou has wrapped itself tightly around her arm and, moving back and forth of its own accord, the blade slowing sawing through the armour.
Of course, Cecilia is probably concentrating more on doing something imminently horrible to the Kenpachi she has pulled towards her.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Shirubaru is smashed down into the ground, several teeth and a curving splatter of blood spinning through the sky in the wake of Cecilia's punch. He is still clutching onto his steadily-sawing Zanpaktou, however, and it has finally managed to saw through the metal until it is just barely brushing against flesh. Shirubaru whips down hard, sending a crack down the entire length of the snake's coils which abruptly shears off the whole of the top of the armour on Cecilia's arm. With nothing to support it, the bottom half should also collapse, leaving her arm bare.
Sometimes you need to learn how to take a punch, says Shirubaru. Well, it actually comes out more as "shumtims oo nid tch lrrn ho ta tik ah pnsh," but it's the thought that counts.
Shirubaru grins through his mashed-apart mouth, skidding backwards away from Cecilia.
{{Is this okay? Happy to Edit if not.}}

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Cecilia stares at her bare wrist for a moment before retorting "But how many more can you take?" She dashes at Shirubaru. At least, what qualifies for a dash in the armour. She leaps and there is a sudden blast of reiatsu from her feet, accelerating her through the air beyond even her unreleased speed. Her leg flies into a spinning kick.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Shirubaru ducks down instantly, still only just barely getting out of the way of the kick, and as Cecilia misses and her body swings around following her leg, he rushes forward and grabs her bare arm from behind in a complicated one-handed lock, pressing her bent arm up against her body.
The snake-head of his Zanpaktou will attempt to swoop down and bite into Cecilia's arm.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
"Get OFF of me!" Orange reiatsu blasts forth from her entire body, knocking Shiru back.
As the two fighters face each other again, Cecilia charges. Again she performs a reiatsu-boosted leap. However, this time she blurs into shunpo, vanishing. Shirubaru hears a whoosh behind his head...
Her attack pattern hadn't varied much - this is what he was expecting. He starts to turn around to meet her and-
...followed by another in front of him. Her zanpakuto slashes diagonally upwards, cutting deeply into Shirubaru's side.
{OOC: What? You saw her with her sword out while she was under that cloak. Now might be a good time to escalate.}

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Heh.
Shirubaru's Zanpaktou coils itself around the blade buried in his side, the snake-head arching towards Cecilia. He coughs up a little spurt of blood, and then laughs quietly.
Tough break, kid, because that was a bad move.
Bankai.
With a whoosh of suddenly-displaced air and a noise like an express train screaming through a tunnel, the snake instantly and without warning increases in size to about four hundred feet long, the Zanpaktou now lost within its immense coils. Cecilia is knocked away from her sword, and the snake rears towards her, growing around its head a massive 'hood' of spikes. The spikes are fired all at once like missiles, a deadly copper swarm, crashing down on Cecilia and on ten feet around her in every direction in a deadly precise rain of blades.
Shirubaru calmly waits for the dust to clear. He is nestled deep within the protective barrier of his massive serpent's metal coils.
{{If Cecilia is still standing after this, she has a surprise in store for her.}}

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
The dust fades, and Cecilia is still standing... but large portions of her armour are missing. Half of her helmet has been destroyed, allowing her long hair to peek out.
She coughs, and what remains of the armour's chest is stained red. "You think... this will stop... me?" Her visible eye narrows as a new sword appears in her hand and she charges once again. She pays no heed to the spikes still lodged in her armour.
Her zanpakuto meets the spike in Shirubaru's left hand. As the other spike comes up to slash at her it is blocked by a second zanpakuto which appears in her unarmoured hand.Last edited by Prime32; 2009-06-17 at 06:18 PM.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
No, but I think this will stop you, says Shirubaru calmly.
Every single spike in Cecilia's armour begins to writhe and twist, each turning into a long six-foot snake identical to the one which forms his Shikai.
With the unnatural speed, the many snakes all wrap tightly around Cecilia's body, trapping her limbs together, entangling her legs, wrapping around her face and blinding her, and generally constricting her. The accumulated weight of all the snakes is also incredibly heavy.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
"MmmMmmmmph!" Bursts of reiatsu begin to flare erratically from the armoured parts of her body, killing some of the snakes. More quickly move to replace them, but she is soon able to get her arm free and start hacking away.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
As Cecilia struggles, Shirubaru takes one of his serpent's spikes in a hand and breaks it free. Holding the spike in his hand, he approaches Cecilia, using the other hand to hold shut the wound in his side dealt to him by Cecilia.
Get up, says Shirubaru tiredly. The snakes slither away from Cecilia. Get up and let's fight without all this trickery.
He grins.
And may the best man win.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Cecilia grunts and lowers her stance. Taking her sword in both hands she charges to meet her opponent, as does Shirubaru.
They cross each other and all is silent for an impossibly long moment.
Then Shirubaru gasps and falls to one knee. Then Cecilia's armour shatters into light. She falls to the ground with unfocused eyes as it flows into her zanpakuto.Last edited by Prime32; 2009-06-17 at 04:38 PM.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Pffflargh.
Shirubaru spits up some more blood. He stays down on one knee, not looking back.
If you're still on your feet I'm in trouble, he grunts, looking down at his bloodsoaked Shinigami garb.
He stands up, his legs wobbling, and turns around.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Heh.
Shirubaru approaches Cecilia's prone form.
You alive? he asks, then sighs. And you know it's been a good fight when you've asked that question twice.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Cecilia struggles to push herself up. As Shirubaru comes near, she suddenly comes to her feet, swinging her sealed zanpakuto shakily.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Shirubaru one-handedly parries the swing and forces the blade down, so that it buries itself in the earth. He then crouches down on his
haunches and looks into Cecilia's eyes.
Sorry, girl, he says, still pinning down her sword with his blade. You can't fight any more.
But it isn't like you've lost.
I'd say you've won, actually. An astounding victory, right here in front of everyone. And I'm not just humouring you. Ask the other Captains, I'm not polite enough to do anything but speak the truth.
{{Agreed on the name, Cecilia will forever be Cecilia in my head now I'm afraid.}}

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Cecila has this expression, and this music is playing.
"Shut up. Just kill me." A drop of water falls and hits the ground below her as her hand clenches the earth. "I was too weak."Last edited by Prime32; 2009-06-17 at 05:37 PM.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Don't ruin it by crying, says Shirubaru. Look at me. Look at me.
You came here to fight for a name, Cecilia. You got one. You earnt it in battle. I think that's a pretty big freaking win, myself.
And I'm not going to kill you. You haven't even got Bankai yet. When you do, come back and fight me again. And, if you lose again, perhaps then I'll kill you.
But somehow I doubt you'll lose. Shirubaru laughs. Now get up, don't lie in the dust like someone who's lost a battle. Stand up and hear the crowd cheer.
And, in the background, the crowd are cheering. All the 11th Squad members are pounding their feet and roaring one name, increasing steadily in volume, the name of the only person they've seen who's come close to defeating Shirubaru.
Ce-ci-li-a! Ce-ci-li-a! Ce-ci-li-a!

Cecilia's stares blankly at the crowd.
"B-but I... I lost. Wh-what meaning is th-there..." Tears flow freely down her face now.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Fights aren't really about whether you win or lose. They're about the fight, says Shirubaru. There's no shame in getting knocked down if you put up a good fight. That's what we believe in 11th Division.
And Cecilia? That was one hell of a good fight.

Re: [BleachITP] Ep1: "Battle for the Captaincy! Cecilia's true power?"
Shirubaru picks up Cecilia gently in his arms and shunpo's away to the 4th Division, leaving behind a crowd sitting around an empty arena.
When he reaches 4th Division, healers begin to crowd around him with the wounded girl in his arms.
Stand back! Shirubaru shouts, wading through the crowd and placing Cecilia in a bed. Make healing this woman your top priority! And when she wakes up, tell her she's a member of the 11th Squad. No questions asked. I don't know where we'll fit her in yet, but it'll be as near the top as possible.
"B-but captain -" says one 4th Division member timidly. "You are also hurt -"
I'm alright, says Shirubaru gruffly. I need to go and tell my men we have a new member.
He shunpo's back to the arena, only to find the Commander-General telling everyone about how Yen has been killed.
