[ooc: I know I skipped you Sato but I had an idea to continue and center the fight around Minoru and Veloz for a post.]
[Minoru P.o.V]
I watched as my Bakudo closed in on Veloz, it seemed it would catch him until he vanished at the last moment.
Damnit... I'll get him... and then I 'll bring Taka back.. I thought to myself, I refused to believe Taka was a traitor but his actions proved different. For a moment I felt a surge of reiatsu to mine and Sato's right side, I turned to see diamond projectiles rushing towards us and that odd cero of Veloz's behind it.
Damnit, I don't have the time for this crap Espada! Using shunpo I was between Veloz's attacks and Sato, I held my blades diagonally at each side and swiftly slashed an X in-front of me. Briefly the glow of my rieatsu formed a visible X where I had slashed before six massive wind blades ripped forward.. I knew this was a risk but I had too take it, the blades rushed forth disrupting the diamonds flight path causing them to barely miss both myself and Sato. The cero was another problem all together, instead of dicing it up and destroying it like I had wanted the cero exploded directly between myself and Veloz. A rush of blade like wind blew by leaving a visible horizontal cut across my chest, the explosion then rocked my body knocking me into the air and back a few meters.
Landing harshly on my back I rolled over, it felt like I had cracked some ribs, not to mention the gash on my chest. With a cry of anger and realization of the power difference between myself and Veloz I rushed forward yelling
Shunko! my body erupt into a crackling white reitasu like glow once again, with my enhanced speed I pushed myself into the fasted shunpo I could muster. With a grunt I reached Veloz's side and aimed to slash both his neck and waistline. The winds like reiatsu blowing around me would leave both of us with smaller lacerations.
[Veloz P.o.V]
As the shinigami in Bankai noticed my attacks incoming I watched as he shunpo'ed between his ally and my attack.
No way..he won't actually risk that will he.. I was nearly sure the shinigami was going to try to stop my attacks somehow. I watched as he swung his blades upwards in an X pattern, leaving the faint glow of an X. I watched the shinigami with interest as 6 massive blades of wind came from the X,
oh so its that attack again... I thought to myself. The two attacks collided fighting for dominance for a brief moment before my cero erupted into an explosion. I attempted to brace for an impact as I felt a cut open up just below my hollow hole, looking down I saw that my hierro ribbing had been cut through by some kind of wind. The next moment I was rocked by the explosion from my cero, coupled with the cut in my hierro the explosion cracked then destroyed the ribbing. My exposed chest taking in smaller wounds from the wind as the explosion burnt my skin.
Damn shinigami always doing something risky... I mumbled as I hit the ground forming a 10 meter long trench.
Lifting myself from the trench I found my left shoulder was out of place, as I moved to force it back in I heard the shinigami yell out 'Shunko!' Turning I watched as his body was enveloped in a white layer of reiatsu, he then vanished for a moment his speed enhanced by this technique I assumed. Hearing a grunt to myside I turn a blade in my right hand swinging up to meet a strike for my neck. With my wounded arm I was unable to block the second strike, taking a deep gash to my waist I stumbled back for a moment causing blood to spurt from the wound.
Damn shinigami... your nothing but prey! Why have I bothered playing cat and mouse... Sonido'ing back 10 meters I drop the blade in my right hand and reach to my shoulder, with a hard pull and push I force it back into the socket with a loud 'pop'.
Picking up my blade and reaching behind myself for my other my reiatsu began to rise uncontrollably, the surface of the earth around me began pushing in on itself making a wide crater as fragments lifted into the air. A dark blue storm of reiatsu erupted around my as gold reiatsu sparked from it, the reiatsu had the feel of a hunters blood lust too it.
