A needed reunion...

Armond La'Crow Silverblood. The Vizard of Italy. The Vizard of the Silverbloods. The Vizard of safety to many races and people. Armond was a dangerous man. He is a dangerous being who should be feared. He should also be respected though. A lot of people know this. A lot of people do respect her. Why shouldn't they? He gave them a home. He gave them shelter. He protected them. He even trained him. But house always wins. Armond will always win. They will never be as strong as Armond. For with every step they take, Armond takes two. He is always ahead of them. He is always aware. In the House of Masks, Armond is king. Armond is the ruler. Armond is Imperatore della Maschera. Armond is the Emperor of the Mask.

Here though he is without power. He holds no ruling. His word means little to others. He should still be feared though. For he will not hesitate to kill. He will not think twice about snapping someone's neck. Nonetheless, this was not his land. This was not his country even. Armond was a visitor. He looked at the Shinigami as the passed him by. He got weird looks. But they knew better than to speak out. Armond just chuckled as he walked slowly. His feet sank into the sands. He wore black sandals, silk black pajama pants, and a silk black morning robe. The sash was not there. He took that out. The robe was open exposing his smooth and muscles chest. His silver hair hung in his face as usual, but it wasn't too bad. His red eyes were amused. The smile on his face was as well. He had on his sleek frame-less glasses also. The glasses gave him a kind of ferocity that most chose not to deal with.

He knew where to go. The Sphinx. He went to it and stood at the entrance. The First Division was here. His sister had done well for herself. She was the Sotaicho. She ruled these lands. All these shinigami here were hers to command. That was just another reason not to piss Armond off. If he didn't kill you, she would do something equally as bad. If you were unlucky, Blood would do something worse than death. You'd be crawling to Armond begging for freedom. You'd beg for death. Armond would just shrug you off though. Nonetheless, he was here now. For a variety of reasons, but mainly because things have been hectic. They have not seen each other in a while. He misses his beloved twin sister. He missed Enrya...and her other sides.

The Modern-Day Cleopatra. The Queen of the Nile. The Mistress of Pyramids. The Ruler of Egypt. Call her what you want. Their all titles anyways. They all link to her. Enrya Solstice Silverblood. One of the last two surviving members of the Silverblood Family. Or so it has been for so long. Who knows? There may be other Silverbloods out there, but for now it was just Enrya and her twin brother Armond. Ah, her dear dear twin brother. How she has missed him. Even her other forms miss seeing and spending time with him. It’s been quite a long time since they have seen each other since that day that the Soul Society fell to the Hollows and Sin. The mere mention of that day still makes her blood boil in agitation. Not only did the Shinigami race lose, but she also lost her own fiancé. She still had the suit of armor that belonged to her dead fiancé within the Silverblood Chamber. That was all she had left to remind her of him. Ever since his death, she has gone more and more into the form of hers that was evil and worse then the King of Hueco Mundo himself. But at least she always goes back to her normal form before it’s too late.

Currently, she was at her desk within the confines of her own personal get away. The Silverblood Chamber. Only she was allowed there other then her own brother. If messages were to ever be sent to her, it was always by a Hell Butterfly. Speaking of which. One started to fly towards her and landed onto one of her elfin ears. She silently listened to what one of the Shinigamis she had stationed outside of The Great Sphinx. The Shinigami stated that someone unusual appeared. He even went so far as to describe the male to her. She smirked as soon as she heard that he had silver hair and crimson eyes much like her own. She didn’t need to hear more. She knew that it was her own twin brother. “That is Armond La’Crow Silverblood. My twin brother. Open the entrance for him and only him. Lead him into the Circular Temple and I shall meet him there myself.” She spoke to the Hell Butterfly before she motioned for it to fly off and do it’s duty. Once she did so, she got up and looked to the suit of armor. She sighed some as she went to it and placed a hand on the breastplate of the armor right over the heart. “I miss you William. But at least you’re in a better place.” She said in a soft whisper before she turned and left the Silverblood Chamber. She moved her way to the Circular Temple.

The Shinigami that Enrya spoke to moved out from the shadows and made his way to Armond. “Follow me. Your sister awaits you.” The male spoke. He looked as if he would fit in with the true Ancient Egyptians. His skin was bronzed, his hair was black as a raven’s wing, and his eyes were as black as the pits of Hell. He wore the traditional garb of the 2nd Division. He would lead Armond to one of the paws of The Great Sphinx. It was the left front paw. He tapped the front part of the second toe of said paw. This opened a secret entrance that led underground. The more they would move deeper under the ground, the cooler it got. It was a very comfortable temperature underground. The Shinigami led him to the Circular Temple and bowed to him. “She will be here shortly.” He said before he disappeared off into the shadows. A few seconds later, Enrya appeared, smiling as her crimson eyes landed on Armond. “Armond, it’s been so long. I miss you.” She said as she moved towards him and gave him a hug that only a sister can give to a brother with how close it made her feel to him.

As Armond waited. He looked to the night sky. The air outside was cool. It felt nice on his skin. He sensed movement though. Shame. They were so sloppy now-a-days. Nonetheless, he would feign ignorance if only to stroke the poor boy's ego a bit. So when he appeared Armond looked genuinely puzzled. Armond followed him though. They went into the Sphinx and went down. The tunnel seemed to go down for hours. Armond reached into his pocket and slipped on a pair of black silk gloves. Few people could pull off gloves with such casual wear. Armond was one of those people. It just matched him. He put them on for security reasons. He did not enjoy being so far away from open spaces. Less space to maneuver should someone attack. And, of course, less places to hide the dead bodies of his foes. Also, he liked the feel of silk. It was wonderful. Ever since he opened the Casa della Maschera, he has been able to afford plenty of...finer things.

He stopped when the escort stopped. He looked around for a moment when he vanished. Armond knew exactly where he went though. He was silently tracking his movements through the shadows. It was hard not to. He was an ex-captain for a reason. He looked as he felt a new presence in the chamber with him. His lips curled up into a graceful smile. He moved forward to embrace his sister. "Enrya, dear, tis very good to see you. You don't look a day over one hundred. I suppose to humans that'd be an insult, but you and I are far from human." He chuckled as he slowly parted from the hug. He brushed some of her silver hair out of her face, to get a better look. He then looked her clothing over and nodded. "It gains your brother's approval...unlike some things." It was no secret between the two that Armond didn't like William. It wasn't just him though. It was any man that claimed to have feelings for Enrya.

Armond didn't enjoy emotions. He knew the dangers of them. He would rather not watch his sister go through emotional trauma like she had before. When William first left. Even when they were courting one another, he didn't approve of William. He tolerated him though for his sister's sake. Now he was gone. Armond had a vague idea of where he was. Information was his weapon. Knowledge is power, as they say. Armond has waved many fees in the House of Masks to track down the man. "But let us not discuss such unpleasing things. For now, ma cherie, I'd like to point out two things. One, you second division is lacking in the stealth department. I sensed ten different guards while going to the Sphinx, and saw shadows of three others when I entered Shinigami Land. And your escort was less than stealthy both coming and going. Second, gifts." He smiled sweetly as his twin sister. He was a critical person, but he had always loved, and still does, the Second Division. To see them like this was an insult to his previous captaincy, and those of the captains before him. He always was very critical of them. But, he isn't without his soft spot. As the two spoke, a car was driving to the boarder of the land carrying Enrya's presents. Armond did love to spoil his sister.

Enrya smiled and chuckled as she hugged her twin. The only one who would truly understand her and know what she thinks and feels fully. Armond knew her as much, if not better, then her herself. She chuckled some at his compliment on her looks. True, she didn’t look at all her true age. “Heh. That is true Armond. Who wants to be human anyways?” She said with a smile and a chuckle. She tilted her head to the side some to help his hand brush some of her silver hair out of her face. “You look younger then me my dear twin. I’m so jealous.” She said with a smirk as Armond looked her clothing over then nodded. “Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. Helps though to have had you give me a lot of good advice for the type of clothes that best shows off what I got in the past.” She said as she nodded her head as she smiled some. She knew that he didn’t like William. He didn’t like any male that got so close to her. He was just very protective of her is all. She was the same way with him, though she tended to be nicer then Armond was. Well…at least as Enrya, she was nicer then Armond. As Blood Solstice, well now, that’s a completely new story.

She blinked her red eyes then rolled them some as she nodded as her twin brother spoke about how the 2nd Division was lacking in stealth. “I know Armond, I know. It’s hard to find those who had the skills and talents that you did. Hopefully they’ll learn quickly on how to do it right after I have a bit of a long talk with them later. The only Division not lacking so far is the 4th and 12th.” She said as she sighed some. There was a lot of work to be done in order to get the Shinigami race to be as proud and powerful as they once were in the past. She was going to make the Shinigamis come back and defeat Sin and his Hollows as well as his Espadas. She then smiled and chuckled at him as he hinted thast he brought gifts that he got for her and her alone. “Hehe. There you go spoiling me again. I love it though but seeing you again and getting a hug from you is the best gift ever.” She said with a smile and a chuckle. Armond can always make her smile and be carefree.

"The 2nd Division will be forced to be subject to my training unless you find a captain soon. After all, what's the point of protection if your guards are slow on the draw?" He smiled and answered his phone as it rung. He did so after his sister's last words of course. He listened for a moment and then spoke. "Take them to the Sphinx. Tell them it's for Enrya and have them place it in her chambers. If there are any problems, remind them that you are my agent and I am her brother. I am sure that will get them moving." He hung up and smiled at Enrya.

"I hear you have only one captain on hand. Would it be a problem if I wished to test their morale? I'll not have my sister's life hanging in the balance of an incompetent fool..." He smiled and adjusted his glasses. In truth, he didn't need his glasses. They were really just for look. He liked them, and they suited him and his personality well. Enrya was the only person who would know his power, and even amongst these people he wouldn't show his true power. She also knew this. He wasn't one to flaunt things. He wasn't one to go all out for no reason. He was more inclined to use his bankai, which he also tried to avoid, then to call upon his Hollow.

Enrya smirked and chuckled as she heard what her twin brother was up to. She knew that he had only a soft spot for the 2nd Division and she also knew that if anyone can whip them and any other of her Divisions into training to be the best he can. “Heh. Feel free to make them go through your training. That’ll make them work for their so desired seats that they look forward to having plus it’ll make them stronger and faster.” She said as she smiled. She then went silent as she watched Armond answer his cell and then spoke into it. She knew what it was about, her gifts that he got for her. When he hanged up, she smiled as she snickered some. “Well, I hope that I will still be able to have walking room within my chamber. Wouldn’t want to trip over something when I try to get into bed for some sleep.” She said with a laugh as she teased him some.

She tilted her head some to the side as Armond spoke once more to her about something bout a Captain that she has currently. “Hm? Ah yes. The Captain for the 3rd Division. Captain Gemini.” She said as she nodded some. “Test his morale? Go on ahead. I do not mind besides you are right.” She said with a smile as she looked to her brother. She did indeed know that he wouldn’t go all out on this Captain. Nor would he make them die from blood loss. Either way, Captain Gemini of the 3rd Division will be in for quite a treat indeed. “Hm. Maybe I should come and watch this. Sounds more interesting then just sitting here and listening to others boast about how they’ll become Captain one day and yadda yadda.” She said as she placed a finger on her chin.

Armond clapped, and he smiled a rare smile. He was truly pleased. Something people, save his sister, didn't see outside of a plan that went off successfully. "Then I invite you to dispatch a Hell Butterfly after him." He stretched a bit. "You have no choice. I'd make you watch. After all, I'm sure if you didn't come Blood would be quiet pissed at you when she finds out that you robbed her of a chance to come out." He chuckled. The real joke was that he was serious, and Enrya would know. Blood didn't mess around with fights. She wanted to know about every fight that happened and during some she may or may not come out.

He turned around, the tail of his robe flowing behind him in an elegant manner. He walked up the stairs and outside into the cool night air of the Egyptian desert. He smiled up at the stars. Away from light pollution the stars shined bright. He enjoyed this. In his head he heard a voice. In front of him he saw a figure. It was himself, but negative. The eyes were blue rather than red though. "Hahaha. You are going to fight? Without me? Just how do you expect to win, mi'lord? With all due respect, we have become a lot stronger. I think I am your crutch, no? Which...would make ME king." Armond glared. "Get over yourself..." Was the only response he gave. He found a wall and leaned against it. It wasn't too far away from the pyramid. In his mind he was thinking about the training exercises for the second division. When he was through with them, they would be rushing for captain just so he would leave them alone.

Enrya smiled as she saw her twin brother clap his hands while he smiled. She knew that she pleased him to a degree with what she just said. She knew exactly what will and what won’t make him pleased or smile. “Of course.” She said before she yawned a bit behind one of her hands that she raised up to cover her mouth. This was a yawn out of boredom as she has been bored for quite a while. This up and coming spar would surely bring attention to everyone and cause some excitement to happen. “Well good then. I would have come anyways, even if you didn’t want me to.” She told him with a smirk before she nodded her head some. “Unfortunately, you are right my dear Armond. You know how bad it can get when Blood is pissed all because she didn’t see a fight or blood or something. Probably best that it happens anyway.” She said as she chuckled some as well. She watched him turn then leave the area.

She snapped her fingers some, causing a Hell Butterfly to come flying towards her. “Captain Gemini. You are to meet in the sparing area outside of the Great Sphinx. You will be put to the test in your skills as a Captain. Do not be late. That is all.” She spoke to the Hell Butterfly before she sent it on it’s way to wherever it needs to go in order to find Captain Gemini. “Heh. This will be so much fun. About time that I’m set free to watch this. Their will be blood. I’ll make sure of it!” Enrya spoke again, but her voice sounded strangely different as if it was more dark and evil sounding. Enrya has already become Blood Solstice. Her hair seemed to be different as well, as it was more spikey then before. She smirked as she touched her zanpakuto before she too left the Great Sphinx.

Armond felt the shift in reiatsu. He smiled and chuckled. When he turned around he faced a woman. It was his sister, but it wasn't his sister. It was one of her personalities. This one was Blood Solstice. He folded his arms over his chest with an arched eye brow. It was clear this woman was blood. The look in her eyes was far more violent, her stance was threatening, and she just radiated this aura of menace. Armond walked up to her and gave her a hug. "I'm sad. I thought I was your favorite person ever? But I had to propose a fight just to see my own sister. Tsk..." He gave a fake pout, but his eyes glittered with amusement.

Gemini was napping outside, underneath the shade of one of his favorite trees that protected him from the sun, no matter what direction it was pointing in, when he felt the Hell butterfly land on his forehead. "Geez, what does the CC want at a time like this." He streches while grabbing his zanpaktou which was laying down beside him on his right. "A fight. I wonder who its going to be against. At least now I have a reason to leave the desert" Tying his zanpaktou to his left side. Gemini checked the glove on his right hand to make sure it hadn't ripped anywhere. Seeing no tears, Gemini heads The Great Sphinx where the Captain Commander Enyra was waiting.

Entering the The Great Sphinx, Gemini grabbed a bottle of water, and drained it in a single chug, before coming to the doors that entered into private Silverblood chambers. Taking a small metal box from his robes, Gemini pops a hand rolled cigerette that he had rolled earlier that day, and lit it with hado number 4, and cancelled the hado when the cigerette was lit. Blowing out a puff of light blue smoke from his lips, he pushed open the doors, and saw a man dressed in complete black, and sensed his reaitsu. Shinigami, and a hollow's. Vizard. And a strong one at that. Is this who I am to fight?

Finishing his thought he turned his attention towards the Captain Commander. Damn was she cute, fuck she was hot. And her three personalities didn't push him away either, they just turned him on even more. Gemini stopped walking when he was just a few feet away from Enrya. "You summoned" were the first words he said, and looked her straight in the eyes, as he stood straight from his bow.

Blood Solstice rolled her eyes some as she was hugged. She dealed with it though since it has been awhile since she has been out. “Yeah, yeah. You know how I am. Besides, you knew the fight would bring me out.” She said with a smirk. She snickered some as her ruby red eyes flashed a bit with her on dark humor. “I’m looking forward to this. Make sure to have some blood shed.” She told Armond before she turned some as she sensed someone else arrived.

“Of course. Armond, this is Captain Gemini. Captain Gemini, this is Armond. He’s my twin brother as well as the one you will spar with. I’ll be watching sadly.” She said with a snicker as she crossed her arms over her chest some. “You better not disappoint me. Bad things happen and people get punished when I am disappointed.” She warned Captain Gemini as she smirked and laughed a bit. She then started to slowly go back to being Enrya. Enrya raised a hand to her temples and rubbed it a bit. "Man. Blood always gives me a headache when she leaves." She complained a bit before she smiled a bit as she noticed Captain Gemini was there.

A light yawn escaped the thin lips of the young man, as his arms stretched high into the air. Looking up at the cloudy skies of Italy, he couldn't help but let a slight smile decorate his already almost immaculate face. Opening his eye's, a strange, almost bloody red color illuminated from them. Matching the eye's with the jet black hair would lead most to assume that this man was nothing more than a demon, an atrocity of a human being. Yet, in this day and age, it would be far from the truth to call him either a demon, or a human. He was a Vizard, a Shinigami who had gone through the process of Hollowification. Forbidden, yet not so frowned upon as it once was, he was the second. Methias Stelligar.

Peering around the open field he had claimed as his own, he looked down at his body, noticing that today he had infact, decided not to wear a shirt. Shrugging lightly, his apparent lack of caring was shown to the outside world. However, his signature black trenchcoat was only a few meters away. Pulling himself to his feet, he grabbed ahold of it, throwing it through the air, before sticking both arms into the sleeves. Looking at the back of the coat, he noticed his two Zanpaktou sticking out of the top of it. Letting out a light sigh, he remembered what Armond had said to him earlier. Today, he was meant to be in Egypt, to visit the so-called "New Soul Society".

And so his visit was to take place. However, Methias wasn't one to arrive on time, nor was he one not to make a flashy entrance. Placing his hand infront of him, the area before him appeared to open into a bunch of squares, a circular whole appearing in the middle of the green field. Garganta, a technique used by Hollows to move freely from one location to another. However, being one to have gone through the process of Hollowification, he too had this ability, along with others. Taking a step forward, he entered the darkness, not a single shred of light being visible as it closed behind him.

And with a flash, he could see his location. The mighty sphinx. Nearby, the only man Methias could happily say he truly owed his life to, Armond could be seen. Letting out a light laugh, he rubbed the back of his head nervously as he began to realise he may have appeared a little too high to be noticed. However, being who he was, he didn't really care, as he leapt from the empty darkness, falling to the ground in the most elegant of style's. Landing on both feet, not a single noise could be heard in the desert. Looking towards the entrance of the Sphinx, he let out a light laugh as he saw the First Division standing before him, somewhat alarmed by his presence, yet apparently growing to realise who he was. "Yo." he said, his friendly smile once more appearing on his face. A few smiles could then be seen on their faces, a couple of blushes from the young ladies. Winking at the most attractive one, he laughed under his breath before entering.

Turning around, he looked outside to realise it was already nightfall here. Strange, Italy was still somewhat light at this hour. Indeed, Methias himself never really paid attention to the whole "It's a different time around the world" bit. He didn't need to, though, so why would he worry? As he gradually progressed deeper into the Sphinx, he found himself wondering through several tunnels, although he had the distinct feeling that someone was watching him. Likely to be a Second Division member alerted by his appearance, Methias shrugged slightly, as he continued his journey.

After what felt like hours, Methias entered the room where brother and sister were talking casually. It was quite nice to see them two together once more, even he could notice the slight hapiness which was so rare for Armond to reveal. Letting out a slight cough as to be noticed, Methias revealed what appeared to be a second division member scared out of their wits from behind him. "Erm...I don't mean to be a bother, miss Sotaicho, but what should I do with this? It appears he thought of me as an enemy, but i'm not one to harm another being."

As he spoke, he let out a somewhat cute smile, before rustling his hand through the young Shinigami's head. Only rumors could tell of Methias' almost disturbing way of treating those beneath him, although they were often quite humorous to say the least. As he laughed once more, he gently pushed the young Shinigami towards the center, before moving away from the entrance as to allow him to run, or stay, depending on what Enrya would decide to do with him.

Gemini turns to face Armond "Its nice to meet you Armond. I'm honored to be sparing with a Sliverblood once again." Gemini withdrew the cigerette from his mouth and puffed outa blue smoke. Damn he had heard the rumors of what happened to people when they disapponted Blood, and it always gave him the shivers. "I will do no such thing." Daping the cigerette, he saw that he had half of it left, and saw the ashes fall away from his vision.

Gemini drew his zanpaktou with his left hand and held it in front of his face. "Decend from the heavens, Maikeru" A white light circles around the blade turning the handle, into a flower, and the blade pure white. His skin hardened but it was hard to notice, even if one was standing right in front of him. The only way to tell was to try and hurt him. "So shall we get this match on with." he says, as he slides the cigerette into his mouth, and inhales the smoke.

“Hm?” Enrya said as she turned her head and looked at the male that was Armond’s right hand man so to speak. “Ah, do not mind them. Let me take care of it. They’ll have their special session in stealth and what it means to be in the Division they are in when it comes after Armond is done with his warm up spar.” She said as she nodded to Methias before she turned her eyes on the 2nd Division member that was behind Methias. “You need to work harder, but good try. Hurry now and get back to your post before Blood Solstice comes out.” She told the young Shinigami, who gulped and nodded before the young Shinigami rushed off into the darkness. She turned her eyes back to Methias. “The name’s Enrya Silverblood. Nice to meet you Methias. My brother has told me much about his right hand man.” She said with a smirk as she did a mock wave.

She turned her attention to the side to Armond and Captain Gemini. “Now boys, do not cause too much damage here and make sure to not have blood everywhere. As much as Blood Solstice likes it, I have to deal with ordering clean ups to happen.” She told them with a smirk before she laughed. She turned her attention back to Methias. “Care to watch and enjoy the show?” She asked Methias before she moved to a part of the sparring area and sat down in a comfortable chair, crossing one leg over the other as she closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she smirked evilly and her whole aura changed to a more evil nature. Blood Solstice was back. “Fight. Show me some entertainment, extra points to the first one who deals a blow that causes the other to bleed.” She said with a sultry voice as she smirked more and licked her lips a bit.

Armond chuckled at Blood. "Maybe I knew, maybe I didn't. I could have just wanted a nice little fight." He smiled and turned to face the man who came up to him. Indeed, he seemed to be a bit off in terms of looks, but it didn't matter to Armond. He never judged an opponent on looks. He has seen people with the body of ten-year-olds destroy buildings, and he himself, with his feminine figure, has bested men whom have spent every moment in the gym. Looks just didn't matter. Even his bankai has been made fun of. Something so simple, so small, a bankai? It seemed nearly impossible to be seen as one, but it was. And it has taken many lives. This man's life would be spared however. It was all a matter of skill.

Armond did look him up and down though, he checked his reiatsu. Currently, Armond's reiatsu was only at about a 3rd seats. It was nothing terribly bad. It was a simple 3rd seat's reiatsu level. Who would be afraid of that? Not many. Hell, nobody above the rank of a 3rd seat would fear such low levels. Armond smiled at Gemini and bowed respectfully. "Pleasure to meet you Taicho...I'm pleased to see you're egger to fight. I encourage you to not be so hasty though..." He folded his right arm over his chest, placed his left elbow in the palm of his right hand, and tapped his left index finger to his chin. As he did this he began to walk back and forth horizontally. The tail of his black silk bath robe flowing behind him. He stopped at some point and tilted his head in Gemini's direction.

"As a Captain you have to think. Evaluate your enemy. Size them up and determine the threat level. How much of a threat am I to you?" He said this last part in a cold, emotionless voice. In that single instant, all feeling drained from his red eyes. He didn't even smile. He just stood there, apathetic and dead, and asked the question. His sister and Methias could effortlessly answer this one. But he knew they wouldn't dare interrupt him. Throughout this time he never responded or even acknowledged his sister. It wasn't anything personal. Armond just blocked out the world when he fought. Life was a game of chess to him, as he had said so many times before, the only way you can win is by being fifteen steps ahead of the one step your opponent took.

"What you say is true. That as I captain, I need to evaluate my opponent, trying to gauge their threat level." Gemini tosses his released zan into the air, and catches it right below the bloomed flower. "I know that you hold some threat to me, because Enrya wouldn't say that my skill would be put to the test, by someone of a lower rank than me, if she didn't know the true strength of my opponent and what he was capable of." Gemini finishes his cigerette, and drops it onto the ground and steps on it stopping the glowing embers, all while taking out another cig, and litting it with the number 4 kido.

Gemini knew there was something weird about Armond, but he wasn't sure what. And the way he finished his sentence, meant that there was more to him then he was letting on. It was a good thing he felt safe with Shiro Roze out, but he knew that this form wouldn't last long, and he would most likely have to take the glove off shortly after the fight started "So, shall we get this fight started. I have an appointment with my bed. I don't want to keep it waiting." Gemini had purposely ignored everybody else, including the Captain Commander, cause he knew the only person he need to pay attention to was Armond.

Methias turned to watch the young Shinigami flee from the scene, another hint of laughter escaping his lips. He truly found this highly amusing, although most wouldn't agree with his sence of humor. Tilting his head to one side, a light crack echoed through the room, before he let out a yawn. Looking around the area, he noticed another Shinigami, although Methias didn't consider him anything special. Nothing on Armond, to say the least, although the majority of Armond's strength was hidden to the outside world. But this Vizard? He knew of how powerful his master was, and that one should not judge on first sight. Only a fool would do so. Intrigued, Methias moved towards Armond's sister.

"A pleasure, although I find it strange how we haven't met until now. Even as a former Captain, I never really dwelled into the Kido Corps. Truly, a mysterious bunch." Methias whispered as sat on the floor beside her. Several flirtacious lines entered his head, although he wasn't going to use any of these lines on this woman. It was more than his life was worth. Comparing himself to Armond, he clearly noticed that at this current moment in time, Methias' reiatsu could clearly compare to a Captains, although likely a bit lower than most, considering he was holding himself back a small amount. Not too much, as Armond was, but enough as to not make things a huge deal. Running a hand through his hair, he flicked it to one side, his jet black strands flying into the air, before resting back as they were, but this time, not in his eye's.

As he continued to watch forwards, both Armond and the apparent Captain seemed to be in conversation. As things seemed to work out, this one wasn't a complete idiot. He couldn't tell how much power Armond was holding back, but he could tell that miss Enrya was clearly going to test him to the best of his abilities. Methias was somewhat intrigued by the whole idea of Armond fighting a Captain class Shinigami, yet he truly couldn't care for the outcome. Armond was was enough to give most a run for their money, and this Captain? Lets just say Methias felt that if there was an upset, Armond would have thrown the fight. Sighing, he moved to a sitting laying on the floor. Soon, they would begin, and Methias would likely be asleep for the majority of it.

"You hear but you do not listen. Reminds me of someone else I know." He smiled back at Methias. "Or how they used to be anyway. Fine. If you wish to start this then come. Show me what you have, Captain Gemini of the 3rd Division..." Armond stood there and looked at the Captain. By the end of this, hopefully he would understand. He would know what was going on, and understand the difference between hearing and listening. Other than those words, Armond didn't say anything else. He didn't move either. He just stood there, waiting, with his arms wide open. His eyes focused on the male before him. His eyes were trained heavily on him. His reiatsu was still centered around that of a 3rd seats.

Without another word Gemini moves a single foot, preforming a shunpo. Appearing behind Armond Gemini points at finger at his right shoulder. "Hado #4 Byakurai" A bolt of lightning fires towards Armond. Performing another shunpo he appears on Armond's left side, and swings Shiro Roze down with half of his force, testing Armond to see what he really was. While swinging his zanpaktou Gemini was charging another hado in his right hand.

Armond sighed as the man vanished from sight. Once apart of the Onmitsukido, always a part of the Onmitsukido. He jumped up into the air flipping back as he did. Once he was high enough, he landed on the nose of the Sphinx. He looked as the hado soared off into the sky. He jumped down and landed as Gemini vanished again. His eyes flicked to his left as he saw the forming of his shape. He side stepped closer to the attacking male and stopped him by grabbing his wrist. His sword hand restricted, he shot out an open palm attack for the side of his elbow. With the force behind this attack, if it hit Gemini's elbow would surely break. At the same time his left leg came up to kick Gemini's chin. He was interested to see which meant more to the Captain. His arm, or his head.

Not having time to block both attacks, Gemini pushes his zan up out of his hand, with his bottom to finger, and flipping it so that the point betweens Armond's eyes, and pushes it forward with his pointer and middle finger hoping that Armond would be forced to block this attack, instead of flowing though with the attack on the elbow. While at the same time, cancelling the hado in his left hand to catch the left leg that was flying towards his head. Looking down, Gemini sees that his cig was still burning. Just before losing the touch of his zanpaktou Gemini uses its tech a bit earlier than he wanted to. "Shiro gen’ei " White flower petals start to fall from the sky, disrupting the light waves to everybody around him.

Armond dropped his upper body. As he fell back he avoided the sword attack, and Gemini held onto his leg. He put his hands on the ground and brought his free leg up to force it against Gem's sword hand. As he did this he continued pushing until it was against his captured leg. He looked around him as things began to distort themselves. An illusion for sure, but hoe powerful was this? And was this man's zanpakuto an illusion type zan? Who knows but him and Enrya. Armond had one way to counter this, but in a desert it wouldn't be effective. He just had to take the illusion for now.

His hands now free, though, he supported himself with one arm and swung a fist, his left, out at his opponant'd left leg. The force wouldn't break bones, but it'd leave a nasty mark and bruise if it hit.

OOC: Should this last as if you are an actually thrid seat, or at your actually level?

Gemini grabbed his zan right before it was out of his reach. Grabbing it was difficult when Armond had his legs press against his hand. Gemini strengthed his grip on his sword, and swung it down. Gemini swings his left leg towards Armond's fist, knowing that Shiro Roze's ability would protect him from taking any damage from his attack. Armond was good. He knew how to fight, and it showed in the way he dodged Gemini's attacks, but with the illuision he wouldn't be able to keep it up for long.

OOC:: Answered in this post.


Armond was done. This had gone on long enough. As the blade came down, Armond fastened his free leg around his captured one. His reiatsu exploded to to a captain's level, which was just a bit below his true potential. His right arm came up to block the blade. "Shunko.L was all he said. His body became enfused with a torrent of kido energy that was able to block the incoming strike from the blade.

Gemini's leg connected with the shunko enhanced fist,Armond felt nothing, but it didn't matter. He opened his hand up at the leg that kicked him, he charged a blast of kido energy up at an angle that wouldn't harm Armond, but cause plenty of damage to Gemini.

Gemini was slightly shock when Armond reiatsu exploded to the level of captain's, and lost his balance landing on his back. Seeing the kido, Gemini quickly pulls is leg back increasing the distance, decreasing the damage to his leg burning a part of his robes. With the tech, it made it look like he hadn't pulled his leg back , He takes the cig out of his mouth, and blows out the light blue smoke produced by the cig. "Shit that was close" Getting up, Gemini jumped back seven feet, but Armond only sees him jump back four. "33 Sōkatsui"
