Crap... Takami's wounds were bleeding all over the place. His vision began to go blurry. He stabbed his blade into the ground to stay upright, breathing hard with fatigue. Takami's Reiatsu glowed around him, but it was weaker than before. This... will be... the last attack, he said with much effort. He did a Shunpo and aimed a powerful Hi Shiro at close range at Zeipher, before doing one last Shunpo, falling to his knees a few feet away, and leaning on his sword as his blurry vision flashed in and out of focus. Must.. stay... awake He got onto his feet, but was still supporting himself with his blade.

I stand up , almost stumbling forward falling off the wall. I gain sense, almost finsishing my word
"armor...y."
Before being binded with the kido shot from Minoru. I had no chance to escape as I the tridents in front of me just floating.then teh kido shot from Takami, reached my body, blasting me full blown. I stand there, motionless, my head dipping, blood dripping down mu leg. I was barely holding on into my shikai, letting it dangle from my hand. breathing hard, i look up. finishing my word.
"Trident armory.." Before i fainted the tridents shot off towards takami and Minoru, Almost reaching them before dispiriting. Just running over them like rain. i was done.

I... seem to be... the last one standing Takami's blade transformed, turning back to un-released form against his will. No... Takami fell to the ground blacked out face first, a pool of blood spreading around him.

Hollis continues to watch as zeiphers attack nears takami and the fallen minoru. It almost connects but it dissappers as zeipher passes out.

"hmph.."

Takami manages to stay consious while balancing on his sword before passing out himself. Captain Edwards' smirk grows into a smile as his hands remain behind his back. He speaks softly to himself.

"victory, just as expected..it would seem i picked the right one.."




Hollis would accept nothing less than absolute success from his lt. The reason the 5th squad leader proposed this battle was to test his subordinate. If Takami had lost, he would have also lost his captains respect, but because he was victorious, he has gained hollis' attention. The captain will now take an interest in this man. Hollis speaks aloud.

"Well, it would seem Takami was the last man standing but, it was so close its hard to pick a clear winner.."
