Alicia would appear on the bloody turf of a large arena with walls that stood a few stories high. The area was comparable to the size of a large football stadium if the stadium and parking lot were all part of the field. This was not her cup of tea and she was not looking forward to watching it get spilled, but for better or for worse she was going to fight. Fighting seemed the route to go, considering the decorative skulls and the ground painted in blood with various attempts at gruesome graffiti.

Alicia would find herself timid, waiting near the center of the arena. Her hands lie motionless on the ends of her hilts. She would go for the unsheathing, but stopping herself she would feel it best to leave her hands open. Staring off into the distance, Alicia would wait impatiently while she scanned her surroundings, unsure of her opponent, much less the possible play through of this upcoming onslaught.

Grym would soon arrive to the arena as he would look around for not only was this place new to him but it was a bit...... Barbaric due to the decor of skulls and blood scattered about the area, he would see someone in the middle of the arena and starts to approach the person as he was told that someone would be there to meet him.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps apart of the tournament?"

Grym would watch this person closely as he heightens his senses to see if he can not only make a limited range sensory net incase this person decided to try to use some sort of acceleration or fast movement abilities to try to get the jump on him.

Alicia would swiftly unsheathe her blades as her eyes followed the man as he appeared into the arena. Based on his attire, she would deduce that he was like herself, a Shinigami, but that would be all she could make out of his entrance. It was not much to go off of for making a plan,  but it was indeed better than nothing. "Right you are, but this will be no spar among comrades. Now if you would please come to strike me, for I may not make a first move or forfeit where you stand." It would not matter what circumstances Alicia would be met with, she would not make the first attack. It would be against her values, not to mention give her an opportunity to compare this man to herself, giving her a varying range on how well she would need to pace herself.

Grym watches his apparent opponent as he rubs the back of his head, listening to the one he believes is named Alicia due to the brachets as he sighs, soon drawing his zanpakuto with it's black blade.

"well.... If you insist."

He would perform a Shunpo to quickly close the distance as he swings at her with all his might with his weapon in both hands to strike with more power as he wanted to not hold back against a fellow shinigami unless she decides to perform shikai which he would then he will do the same but at the moment, just sealed state zanpakuto should be enough.

The man seemed keen on a frontal assault, holding nothing back. Alicia would expect nothing less, in fact she would be insulted if he had. Nonetheless, his figure would blur and then reappear with a swinging blade imminent. both blades would meet his as she would parry by crossing her blades, being pushed back only a couple of inches from the force. "Mercy? Do I smell mercy?" Once her stance was sturdy once more she would let her reiatsu spill out to her feet, causing a large puddle to form beneath the two of them.

"Drown, Rose" she would speak calmly as her reiastu would seemingly spill out onto her blades as well, swalling them to the tips. There was no use for her to fight if she did not give it her all. "That would be your first mistake."

Grym watches as it's now apparent that she thought not his shikai right off the bat was 'mercy' as he watched her use her shikai now while he remained calm, he took a deep breath as he adjusts the grip on his zanpakuto so he is holding it so it's tip would be pointing down while he holds it now so the tip is now pointing straight at the ground as he curls his wrist towards himself, soon uncurling his wrist as the katana had transformed into what looks like a black bladed longsword as the reiatsu he's pouring into his zanpakuto soon engulfed the blade in a blood red blaze as he now watches his opponent.

"Erase, Ketsueki Akumabi."

He soon readjusts his grip so he's holding his zanpakuto proper as he now takes a swing at Alicia, no holding back as the flames flare up, becoming larger as he hopes to strike her with the flames even if she blocks his blade.

As the man would adjust his grip and stance, Alicia would fall back. His blade would succumb to the flames of his reiatsu, much like her own, and transformed into a long-sword. Erase he said, Not as long as she could put out the flames. "It seems like you were given the short straw, less you can get hot enough," she said with no emotion in her tone. It seemed as though she was either heartless or hurt by her own fowl actions.

While the man would wholeheartedly swing his shikai at Alicia, she would swing back with both her own. Within those swings she would focus to strike with 2 bala leveled tomahawks at the man's shoulder's as her blades would move to parry. With the force of the blade, she would still be dozed back some distance short. The flames however dragging on through her, taking them face value what made it past her blades.

Grym heard his opponent speak as if she was superior to him and it made him think back to the Arrancar that kicked his ass while he saw her weapons move to parry but also sensed the higher spiritual energy being focused, is this a projectile or a enhancement either way he'd rather not find out as he focused his energy into the flames which caused them to flare up and reach out towards her mid swing as if the flames have a mind of their own while he willed the flames to strike at her arms and legs to not only spoil her attempt to apply her energy but also apply some second degree burns to her the best he can.

As their blades met, he grunts as he was struck in the shoulders from the tomahawk but his flames should be doing their fair share of damage while the flames on his weapon attempt to around hers, knowing full well that it may not work but he had to try his best as he remained wordless as he figured at this point that it would be a waist of breath to speak at this point.

With the charring of her appendages to a second degree, Alicia would furious. She went from a full shihakusho to a short sleeved skirt. Once she shook the pain, her teeth seething, she would have her blades melt away, leaving her with only her hilts. Simultaneously she would shunpo back to what she would believe to be just out of flame range (say about 10 meters). As she would sheathe one hilt, spiked raindrops would strike the man from underneath (see ability below). Her right blade would remain in shikai, the blade steadily growing back now.

Taking the initiative as best she could, she would put her left hand up and muttering "Bakudo Number thirty-three: Sokatsui!" releasing a torrent of blue flames out. Blasting out of her left hand towards the shinigami, she would only hope to make some quick distance, but if she did damage that would be swell as well.

Abilities:

Grym would watch the blade dispurse and erupts into spikes, using shunpo to evade this attack the best he can, his cloths getting torn by the spikes as he sees the oncoming torrent as he takes a deep breath as his reiatsu surges into his only offensive technique.

"Jigoku no hen'en"

with an upward swing as he spoke the name, the cero strength beam of energy rushes forth, carving a gouge in the floor as the beam makes contact with the hado, unsure how this attack will react to the hado, but if the attack did get through, if she is near the gouge the second part of the attack will cause the gouge to erupt with a geyser of crimson flame.
