Ika was teleported to an area he had only vague memories of. The tournament grounds, it was a place where he was undefeated in his history and yet he could never even begin to remember the stories of his triumphs here. All he knew is the basics, you needed to kill the opponent to move on and if you died the game was over. It seemed easy enough, too simple almost and he had half a mind to just die and get it over with. Of course, that would be far too easy and he wasn't in the business of making things easier on himself and so.. well, he was in it for the long haul.

Or at least he hoped that was the case. Ika reached into his pocket and retrieved his one loose cigarette, lighting it with a Hadou 4 as he awaited his opponents entrance into the arena. As the man began to appear, a small smirk slowly formed across Ika's face. Time to get this over with..

Sora would appear on the grounds of a place that was unfamiliar to him. Small and confused, the boy would look around for a hint or clue. He would look around to only find a man of much better stature than himself, being the one thing to draw his attention he did what he does and fell into his own world, now staring blankly towards the man, like he wasn't even lookking, but an empty vessel adrift another world.

Suddenly As fast as the dumbfound look would meet his face it would leave it as he caught himself in stupidity at a dangerous moment. New terrain and unknown people. There were too many scattered variables for him to make an assured decision now, but once he knew more of the man that accompanied him, he would know for sure what measures to properly take. He wasn't one to make a fist move, though reckless most any other time.

A human by the name of Sora appeared in front of Ika looking a bit confused. He was a smaller guy, seemingly unfamiliar with the situation he was being put into and in a way the boys innocent demeanor made Ika somewhat regret what he was going to do to the guy. Now, the key word there was somewhat because the bright side to this situation was hopefully an easy outing for Ika, one where he could simply break the boy in half and go on about the rest of his day. As the boy stared blankly around, confused and seemingly put off by the entire situation Ika opted to quickly ascend to Shikai, donning his mask. "I won't be spending much time with you today boy but for future reference.. Be on your guard, always."

Ika threw up a ball of acid into the air and slowly began to walk down the confused human boy. This.. was not going to end well..

With the rush of spiritual pressure as the man released his shikai and donned his mask. "Be on your guard!" both Ika and Jade would say in almost perfect unison, telling Sora to engulf himself in streamy bois in affect to his aura. Eyes on the man who bear menace, the boy would stand ready, not too haste to make a move too soon. His enemy Seemed to form a goo ball, but at the moment it only seemed like it was a show of strength, not an attack it seemed, but the man was still coming towards him.

Either in the man's next offensive action or the moment the man would get within 5 meters of him, Sora would push off with a flash step, not making a flash though, about 30 meters to the other side of Ika. This would hopefully give himself plenty of distance to perform Jaded Pulse, gradually building up the extra reiatsu on his back to keep unnoticed for the moment before expulsion, if allowed the adequate few seconds he would need. If not then Sora would be led to take a flash step back with a bright light in his midst, allowing him a second or two to fire a barrage of streamy jades at his likely disoriented target.

The boy seemed to opt for some weird evasive tactic, pushing away to about 30 feet away from Ika's left side which would only prompt Ika to hold still and wait to see what the boy had planned. The man launched a large scale cluster of energy beams in Ika's general direction which he narrowly avoided by Shunpoing up into the air, letting his hands hang loosely in his pockets as he frowned down at the boy below him. This wasn't exactly the practiced fighter he was used to dealing with, and in a way that was going to make this situation even more dangerous so for now he would employ a new strategy. Hold still and let the boy come to him.

"I'm bored, I'll let you kill yourself for me at this rate." Ika yawned, glaring at the boy with a look of curiosity and bemusement. Now to see if the boy would respond..

It would seem as though the boy was not having much luck on the masked man. He avoided Sora's feeble attack with ease by going airborne. This simple but quick thinking tactic, along with the lack there of a fighting spirit, are what told the boy that this was one of those fights that he would have to learn from instead of play with. However, play was all he knew, So while thinking up a quick scheme Jade would ask a couple questions for Sora, "kill myself? Not off the table yet, but wouldn't you rather be the one to do it?"

Only giving himself a second to think, not even letting jade finish her questions, Sora would become engulfed in a much denser energy as he would preemptively blur after the man above. He would act as though he meant to go in for a punch directly to the man's masked face. This of course would be his attempt at a diversion, releasing the dense energy that had built up to its peak just as long as it took him to reach fist to face. In that moment, Sora would release his Jaded Pulse, blasting everything within a 50m radius with gran rey cero force. This would not be the end. If unhindered up to this point, Sora would keep his eyes locked onto the man, performing another blur to the location of the him for a forceful right hook to the gut, now using Imbued Jade on his gloves to add a bit more worth to his attempt.

Abilities:

The boy was a bit slow on his feet which prompted Ika to avoid going in too quickly in any attempt to get rid of him. This would be much more enjoyable if he took his time, letting the boy come to him and provide an opportunity. If Ika wanted to, he was reasonably certain he could rush down the boy with relative ease and allow for things to end quickly, but now wasn't the time for that. He was going to see what the boy had to offer before opting to get rid of him, playing with his food like a bored predator in the jungle. As the boy became engulfed in energy, he seemed to launch himself towards Ika with a violent vitriol that lacked any kind of real refinement.

The boy appeared to be going for Ika's face with a punch, and at that precise moment Ika would counter "Bakudo 1, Sai."

Regardless of the boys trajectory, his arms would be trapped long enough for Ika to realize that the punch was a decoy. Ika's eyes grew wide quickly as he Shunpo'd back and away from the boys current position, still being throttled out and towards the wall of the arena he was currently occupying. His body was bruised and battered but he had used his gauntlets to absorb some of the impact and was for the most part fine. He pulled himself out of the rubble and glared at the boy.."You're gonna have to do better than big Shonen moments kid. Try again."

Normally Sora would be talking up a storm to this man, but his vibe just set something off with the boy. Leaving him wonder and worry, he would leave every second to chance and not waste a single one. Not in this fight at least.

Just before making contact with the Mask, Sora's hands would lock to his back. The man had performed some kind of spell on him; he called it Bakudo 1 Sai. These words were knew to him, but their meaning would not linger because the energy he had built up released his hands as well as threw the man back against the wall just then.  Landing a hit made Sora ecstatic.. "Be on your guard!" Jade would yell at Sora, prompting him to waste no time. He would unleash a widely scattered barrage of Streamy Jades From about ten meters left of the man to about ten meters right of him. This should have likely left above them or through them for an escape route. With the man against the wall, Sora couldn't waste a moment. He launched himself with a blur over his own attack. This way he could close the distance from his opponent.

Should the man go either left or right, Sora would blur to the front of his opponent, then Flash Step with a spin around his opponent as fast as he possibly could muster, Giving siege to the brightest of lights that would follow. With those factors in place he would use the opportunity to swing a right hook to the mans gut, followed by a blur to the mans side furthest from the wall, and a left hook to the ribs, then followed by a blur to the man's back and another right hook to the back of the man's knee. Should he need to dodge an attack form a gauntlet he would simply advance to his next planned step as his dodge. Should the man go above or straight through the widely scattered attack, Sora would take him head on with a blur, a blur, Flash Step, and a blur, pushing himself to not be too slow. His hands would never leave his face unless for swinging, and his arms tightly formed in front of his chest. Sora would attempt a mono e mono assault on the man, using his blurs to reach, his Flash Step to remove himself from view for a couple of seconds, and then repetitive blocking and punching until he is inhibited otherwise. Aware of the man's strong looking gauntlets, Sora would keep his eyes locked on them even more than the man's own movements while this close to him. He would know that a punch in the face from one of those was going to hurt, So he would keep his defensive form up and strong while fighting head on.

(Gloves imbued by jade, 4 turns remaining.)

Abilities:

It seemed that the boy had been confused by Ika's usage of Kidou which Ika was sure to make a mental note of. The boy wasn't relenting, flying towards him with fury and fire in his eyes. Ika didn't move, the mans predictive attack pattern was quickly intercepted as Ika launched a Shunpo speed kick at the boys jaw to interrupt his little combo idea, sending him flying in the opposite direction as Ika continued to get his bearings in this fight. He'd already had enough and immediately acid began to rain down within 100 meters of where Ika was standing as he slowly began to walk towards his presumably prone and or whoozy opponent. "I think I've had about enough of this.."

In a moment the boy would find the acid closing in on him as Ika manipulated it to his current position. It was scattering to cling to him, several droplets aiming themselves for the boys eyes as Ika watched on, still with his arms planted firmly in his pockets. "Now let's see how excited you get kid.."

With an unforgettable kick to the jaw, Sora would be sent flying. The foot seemingly came from nowhere, and before he could hit something to stop his momentum acid would rain down onto the battlefield. As the droplets would begin to singe clothes and skin, Sora would smack the ground and drag on several feet until he reached his complete stop. The pain rain went on, showing no mercy. It would be only a moment until he could recover himself, though that moment would be his downfall. For before he could see it coming, acid would fry his eyes.

The pain was tremendous, both hands holding his eyes in agony. Essentially everything but the bottom of his feet would have some amount of 2nd degree burn, though his back and arms taking the worst of it. "Sonofa- what the fucking hell. This is worse than fucking soap you cocksucker." Sora yelled in a frantic rage. Not only frustrated with the position he was in combat wise, but to be ripped of his perception in what seemed like the blink of an eye. He had lost all hope for this fight. Jade would conglomerate with Sora's psyche in a way that allowed her to take the wheel so to speak. Merely pointing him in the necessary direction to go on. His power was the last piece of hope he would wield, and with a flourish of spiritual pressure he would enter a stage of power unbeknownst to him.

Jade would talk him down from his rage whilst simultaneously forcing this out. As he lowered his hands from his unusable eyes, the green energy that had formally flowed around him would adhere to his skin like scales, "This fight is not over. Now go, godspeed, and fight. For your life hinges in this moment." She spoke with conviction, something he had never heard from the voice in his head, and nothing that he hadn't already known. Hearing it however gave him the fighting spirit he would need to go on any further. He may not have much of a chance but he certainly had no other option plausible to his conscience.

With the newfound power he had acquired, Sora would immediately create a visor for his lenses like he had done it a thousand times. He would stand in a stance he could reassuringly hold strong and wait. Not the best option but the only he saw available, he would focus his concentration on all of his other senses, while Jade would focus he high speed regeneration on his eyes, sparing what energy he had left to his defenses and sense for the time being.
