I walk along with tenju as we,see raiden tenju stops as do I. He hits the ground and reports himself to the captain commander. I,drop as well in my normal fashion and report in as well"captain commander captain tazuma koshi and captian candiate tenju ichiken reporting as ordered by,yourself and the central 46." I,hold the black box close to my,body as I was ordered to protect and to allow no one to open unless I am that person. "we await your order head captain."

(ooc im trying my hardest Ika)

Ichiken Tenju, you are here by orders of central 46 to take the captains exam. You will be wached by and engage in combat with: Edwards Taichou,Amaya Taichou,Tazuma Taichou and myself But first Raiden stopped, lowered his voice from his firm one to his normal one.Rise. And it is good to have you here Tazuma Taichou
Raiden's signature wind moved Tenju's Shihakusho. Some dust flew low over the proving grounds and the sun was now high in Soul Society's sky. Raiden continued as Tenju now standing looked him in the eyes. The first part of your proving will be simple I would like you to demonstrate control over Shikai and Bankai Raiden took a step back.When i am satisfied with your mastery over your sword. Your first opponent will be sent in for a fight that relies purely on zanjutsu. After that is done i will continue the explanation. Raiden Signaled the rest of the Shinigami there to move back. And when everyone was a good 20 feet away from Tenju Raiden spokeYou may begin whenever you are ready IchikenRaiden smiled as he saw Tenju draw his weapon

"forgive my words my captain but three captains need to be present to start the exam properly.however if tenju wants to display his zanpacto so you may see it then I am ok with that." I stand there still when my reiatsu flares,slightlyYou must show him your control Tazuma. Now is,the time my spirits voice rings in my ears during that time my eyes flare with white reiatsu. It only lastfor a few momebts until I get control."i am sorry for that excuse me for that." I say to tenju and raiden sama

Spoiler:

Tenju stood when order to and listened carefully to the Soutaichou's commands, the first part of the exam seemed to be easy enough. Tenju would nod to Tazuma and Raden and wait for all present to move back only to stop at 20 feet or so away. Tenju closed his eyes as he removed his zanpakutou still sheathed from his Obi, "My deepest apologies Shokakku-soutaichou...but you might want to get a bit further away." Tenju took in a deep breath as he took his zanpakutou and held them in each hand. His eyes would suddenly open wide with a light green fire burning in his iris's as an aura of he same color began to glow around his body and the weapons held still sealed in his hands. Tenju's greatest strength was his massive reiatsu and yet since he returned from Hueco Mundo usually he seals it away always holding back so as not to crush the world around him. He missed the feeling of being at full power at all times never having to hold back, Tenju couldn't hold back and smile as he let the bottled up reiryoku burst forth released as a powerful green and white reiastu that rose up int a thick pillar which would pierce the sky and part the closest clouds.

Suddenly without warning the swords in his hands would ignite as black flame-like reiatsu engulfed them. The flames would build and appeared to be sucking up all the Reiatsu Tenju just produced using it as fuel to burn larger. The flames grew spreading out into the shape of Tenju's Shikai, a large shape in his right hand about the size of his own body and then a thin trail of flames reaching through the air like a cord connecting to a circular mass of fire. As the flames vanished they revealed to true form of Tenju's shikai, a giant black double-edged cleaver connected by a chain to a strange assortment of blades with one crescent shaped blade serving as a point of orbit in a sense for several talon shaped blades.

Spoiler:

Tenju just transitioned into his shikai without using it's release phrase or name, a sign of mastery which could not be denied, "This is my partner, Mugen no Ryu. He is a Reiatsu and Momentum type zanpakutou and an Ancient Zanpakutou that has been in soul society for thousands of years however until now no one had managed to learn it's name." Tenju spoke informing the witnesses of his zanpakutou's history before going into a demonstration of it's power.

Tenju charged a great deal of reiatsu into his shikai's cleaver and it became engulfed in black flames with a green hue at their ends. Tenju would then jump into the air high above the ground and let go of the cleavers handle only to take hold of the chain. He began spinning the blades chain and stopped feeding his own reiatsu into the attack. As he spun the cleaver the flames only continued to grow and it was there he remained as he spoke, "Respectable Taichou and Soutaichou present, the power of my zanpakutou is simple! I feed it my reiatsu to create flames who's power is to increase the speed and power the sword has, however it also feeds off kinetic forces. The faster it goes the stronger it gets, the stronger it gets the faster it goes." As he spoke with each passing second the chain began to spin faster and faster as the flames kept growing, "It's release phrase is "Cascade unto thy self endlessly" and I'm sure you all can see why now!" By this point a full minute had past and the mass of power and force accumulated was causing Tenju's arm to flail about, it was almost beyond his control and would soon exceed the amount of power someone of his reiatsu whould be able to produce.

Before reaching this critical moment he would launch himself down towards the ground here he once stood and roared as he used all his strength and power to drive the attack into the earth. The cleaver would slam into the earth and bury itself deep into the ground just before releasing a huge explosion of reiatsu which would burst forth from the ground in the form of more black flames. The earth would shift and crack from the massive destructive force just released underground completely ruining the floor in a large area around the point of impact. Tenju stood at the center of this destruction pulling his cleaver from the rubble and resealing his zanpakutou into it's sealed form.

"Shokakku Soutaichou, I will gladly reveal my bankai if you ask of me however I ask you be satisfied with my summoning of it without using it's name. A display of it's power would likely cause more damage than necessary."

I have seen his shikai before and yet i am still impressed I lean in close to raiden and say "i could place a barrier around use with your assistance captain commander.(i look at tenju) it brings back memories tenju seeing your shikai. It is still impressive,i must say." I stand there possibly preparing,a bakudo. You and I are close almost one yet you summon me with my name. I shall not answer you again if you call. Force me with your power to appear the next time you need me. You are the shinigami of the song earn your title! my spirit sung theough my mind

The Executioner of Soul Society

Captain Hollis Edwards kneels before a mass collection of men hiding behind tall stone slabs. Once again he has been called before the central 46 chambers. The last time he had been ordered to assasinate a friendly vizard, what could it be this time. If he keeps recieving such ominous misions, it may cause disharmony between he and his fellow captains. Although the 5th squad leader can't help but to enjoy these assignments just a tad bit. The African American male wears his normal smirk paired with his relaxed eyes as he awaits orders from his superiors.




"Captain Hollis Edwards, reporting.."


central 46: Captain Hollis Edwards of the 5th division. You displayed great skill in accomplishing your last task, and so we require another of you along similar lines. As you know, the shinigami Ichiken Tenju will be taking his captains exam today. What you do not know is that he is a potential danger to soul society. We are not at liberty to discuss exactly why he is such a threat, due to the request of several captains. That being said, we demmand this of you. Should this..shinigami get 'out of control' even in the slightest bit..you are to execute him immdiately, no questions asked, without hesitation. If he does in fact get out of control, you will know when it happens. When this happens, the reason why he is a possible danger will be clear to you , being someone of great intellect. Now, be gone.


"very well good sirs"




With a smile, Hollis dissappears out of the compound. So, it would seem that yet again he is to act as judge jury and executioner. It is starting to feel like the 5th division is becomming the police force of soul society. Hollis shunpos with great speed as he makes his way to the site of tenju's testing. He eventually makes his way there to find Tenju standing there with what would appear to be his shikai released. Edwards stands with his arms placed behind his back. He takes a moment to observe the potential captain before him. He looks a bit young, and quite promising, how unlucky it is that his after life may end at any moment. Unlucky, that's a good word for it. After all, it's not like Holis even knows what he truley is. He's just lucky enough to have been givin such an unlucky task to carry out. It's not like he enjoys what he does...right? Hollis then turns to the captain commander and tazuma, speaking with a smile.


"I do apologize for my tardiness gentlemen. I got a bit caught up with paperwork back at the office. It was murder trying to finish it all."




The 5th squad captainlooks back at Tenju, his cold dead eyes peering into the hopeful captains. As usual, his rieatsu has no feeling to it. Not warmth. not cold. only emptiness.

"good of you to join us hollis." I say,while picking up on his undertones that ge was obvioysly trying to,give off. I look at tenju and observe him making,sure he isn't losing his grip on his condition as he calls it. "captain edwards we have seen candiates ichikens shikai, he can summon it without calling its name and he can control its power to a resonable extent. What would you like him to do next. If its bankai I feel we should place a barrier around us." I look back to the captain commander and hollis.

Edwards Taichou good to have you here Raiden kindly spoke when he saw him arrive. Raiden turned and saw Tenju sheath his shikai. He was impressed. even today Mugen no Ryu continued to impress him. and so he chose to speak his thoughts. Very impressive indeed Ichiken San. But you are only at the half way point of the first part. Do not worry about destruction. you are here with captains only. And I have the kidou corps stationed at a parimeter around this proving ground. Raiden's voice firmed a little bit. He opened his eyes and spoke: You may continue the demonstration of Bankai whenever you feel ready to continue Raiden had an idea of Mugen no Ryu in bankai deriving from what he just witnessed in Shikai. And thus due to his defencive nature hegot ready to defend.

Tenju bowed to greet the newly arriving captain as best he could on the unstable remains of the ground following his most recent attack. For a brief moment their eyes would meet and Tenju would instantly get a feeling of foreboding from this man. His reiatsu was empty like the void and his eyes were as cold and deceitful as a snakes. Hollis Edwards was not a captain Tenju felt he should ever trust however the orders of the Soutaichou took precedence over worrying about a possible serpent in the grass. Tenju would bow once more to Raiden and acknowledge his order to release bankai. Taking a deep breath once more Tenju whispered in his mind to his zanpakutou, "Lets go my friend, shall we show soul society our power?"

Spoiler:

Tenju felt his zanpakutou pulse at his side and smiled as his spirit replied just as eager to display it's might as he was. Once again power exploded forth from Tenju in the form of green and black flames as he shouted, "Ban! Kai!" The reiatsu would engulf him for a moment as it rose into a tower of flames for a moment only to die down quickly being sucked into the form that his bankai had taken. The flames were devoured by a large black sword with a jagged edge, an edge which glowed with a soft green light. The chain attaching it before had become golden in color and at it's other end a full dragons claw resided. Black with scales and a set of four talons all glowing with a green light as well. Tenju's outfit also gained the addition of a black cloak with tattered green ends that was held at his neck by a linking of black scales.

Spoiler:

As the dust cleared and his reiatsu finally reached it's cap showing himself easily on par with any other above average captain, Tenju declared his zanpakutou's bankai name with pride, "Mugen no Shinryu..." Through the course of the transformation the ground around him had been blown away and the floor at his feet had been flattened out allowing him to stand tall and firm. He knew that what came next would secure any doubts about his power, however he worried it would raise fears that that power was not controlled. Tenju was mentally preparing himself as this might very well land him in the maggots nest.

Tenju rose his right arm high into the air and then let go of the blade catching the chain before starting to spin it as he had done so before. However this time more green reiatsu was mixed with the black flames to about half and half and the size of the flames grew 10 time faster. Spinning the mass of power overhead Tenju shouted for all to hear, "Mugen no Shinryu gains no new techniques, it merely becomes ten times stronger in every way!" Tenju's speech was much shorter this time however the power his blade was giving off was already surpassing the massive strength he gathered with his shikai and yet still the power grew, "Behold my greatest technique, a power that becomes stronger the longer it goes on until finally exploding!" Tenju suddenly fed even more reiatsu into the blade and it's speed and strength skyrocketed as Tenju drove the spinning mass upwards shouting, "Dragon's Heavenly Wing Cutter!" The entire spinnind wheel of energy was released upwards towards the sky where it only continued to grow bigger and stronger as it continued to spin gaining more speed and power from the kinetic forces it was absorbing.

"I've put a scar on the great moon in Hueco Mundo with this technique..." Tenju boasted as he watched after the technique waiting for it to hit the roof of the barrier hoping it was very high up as he didn't want to be caught up in the explosion. Once it hit the barrier Tenju would pull on his chain grabbing the blade once more as he spoke the command, "Shatter." Causing the attack to explode likely destroying the kidou corps barrier with a massive blast or black and green reiatsu.

After witnessing tenju's bankai I exclaim" a truely inredible bankai tenju. I must say that when I found you I never seen your bankai,your shikai I admit I have seen.(i turn to address the captain commander and speak to him) as you can see my captain candiate ichiken is in full control of his abilities. What move woyld you like him to display for you?" My zanpacto softly glows on my back in repinse to feeling tenju's reiatsu.i look over to edwards to observe his reaction before addressing the captain commander once more" forgive me head captain put three captsins must be present for this exam to be accepted
