Vercingetorix touched down gently in front of this building, where people swarmed to and fro, but particularly to, as the chaos around him began to unfold. He dusted off his cape and amidst their panicked running he walked inside, a look of amusement on his face. It pleased him to see the lack of order and assembly in those present. They pushed, they shoved, they screamed, they cried. This place appeared to be a way out, but it was failing them. The system had already gone down, and now these little lambs were lost and alone without their order to protect them, ready to be culled.

“People of this city!” He crowed. “Surrender to me! No one’s coming to save you. I’ll open up the doors to Hell for you right now!”

No one acknowledged him. They continued running and panicking as they did. Oh, he forgot. They couldn’t see him.

Such a pity. He formed a handful of feathers and with deadly aim, threw them so they were embedded in the bodies of those closest to him. Then he did it again, and once more. It was their loss that they were so weak, really. He would put them all out of their misery now.

The Grand Central clock ticked and rang a dolorous dirge of bloodshed. Now the slaughter had begun.

All hell was breaking loose in New York, gargantas were opening up all over the place dropping monstrous enemies everywhere, and dealing with that was Haru's job. As a member of the Committee Haru's job was to protect the people from beasts such as these, and as such he left the committee offices and blinked towards the closest power he could find. His sword already drawn, slicing through any hollows he encountered on the way.

Haru arrived just in time to see the man throwing what looked like some knives killing a bunch of people with ease. Haru's blade changed from its normal steel broadsword appearance into a light blue single edged blade as his speed shot through the roof. With in less than a blink Haru would rush in using his increased speed he would rush in, going hard slashing from the top left of the man's chest to his right hip. Normally Haru would not immediately go in for the kill, but this was not the time to play with kid gloves. The silver haired swordsman was going to be needed elsewhere but first he had to deal with the person before him.

Techniques used:

He had barely seen his new adversary move, but he was still aware enough to lean back as the sword crossed his body. It was only the strength of his Hierro that saved him from complete evisceration, reducing the strike to a glancing blow. If anything had gone wrong, it would have been lethal, and Vercingetorix was well aware that he was now suddenly fighting on borrowed time. Using his wings to propel himself out of melee range and ten feet into the air, the black-haired Arrancar charged up a sinister green Cero.

“One of the humans wishes to fight back? Come then, demonstrate your heroism so that the natural order may spare your worthless life.” He would fire the Cero at his new foe before readying his sword to parry any incoming strike should he show off more of that blistering speed. The impact of the Cero would damage the structural stability of the building they fought in and threaten the lives of the humans who couldn’t see him, leaving the would-be hero with a choice. The silver-haired human had taken him by surprise once before, and Vercingetorix was not in the mood to be fooled twice.

Haru's surprise attack had landed, though not as deeply as he had intended. Granted against an armored opponent Silfarion was not the best option, because while it's speed was unparalleled it's sheer power was sorely lacking. But that was not his greatest offense, far from it, and the best feature of the blade was it's ability to set up for stronger hits. Like the one he was going to try and pull off. Using his increased speed, he would flash forward seemingly vanishing from view as he leaped into the air after his opponent completely avoiding the cero, reappearing behind the arrancar he would fullbring the air under his feet creating a semi-solid surface to stand on as he swung his blade.

The blue blade shifted converting from it's saber like appearance to a dull orange long sword. This blade was one of Haru's most used, the powerful, yet aptly named blade "Explosion". When the blade makes contact it will loose a violent explosion. Should Vercingetorix try to dodge Haru would pursue after him, and even if he should block the attack Haru would press the attack and continue to slash violently at the Arrancar.

Techniques Used:

Vercingetorix’s eyes narrowed as he fired off his Cero. It landed with a solid explosion, creating a wave that caused the foundation and supports of this old building to begin to crack and waver. However, he immediately noticed that somehow, his opponent had not only gotten out of the way, but had also escaped his sight. But it was too late. As he formed feathers in his hand and began to turn, he felt that sword on his back once again. This time, however, the sword created an explosion as it connected, shattering the Arrancar’s Hierro.

He fell with a sickening thud, blood spraying everywhere as he rolled on the ground at high speed before crashing into one of the columns. It gave as his body slammed into it, and part of the building’s supporting structure came down upon him. Vercingetorix found himself buried in a pile of rubble as he regained his senses. He’d taken enough of a hit that even this minor rubble was enough to pin him. It was twice now that he’d underestimated the human. He truly was the fool.

But he wouldn’t die here. His gaze became like steel. He had so much more he needed to accomplish. If he couldn’t surpass this mere stepping stone it would be the end of his ambition. He would have to go all out.

“Fall, Venganza. Gran Abismo.”

From outside the pile of rubble he was buried under, it would appear that the lights in the building were being sucked away into it. The light was consumed by Vercingetorix’s reiatsu until all that was left was darkness inside of the building. Vercingetorix stood up, rejuvenated in his resurecciòn although still bleeding heavily. With a click of his Pesquisa, he located his target.

Vercingetorix, silent as the night, lunged toward Haru in the air with his sword poised to plunge through his chest. Swearing a silent vow, he promised to kill this human. There was much more at stake here than simply sport. Now it was a fight for his life and pride.

Haru held the orange blade in his hand after sending his opponent flying into a building with the explosion from the blade, though Haru could tell that this fight was not done yet. All of the light in the area seemed to be drawn into the area that the Arrancar landed. Haru smirked, he had just the blade to handle someone who absorbed light. One that would take away any advantage that the absorption was giving Haru's enemy. His blade shifted again this time into a golden scimitar-esque blade with a single edge.

What made this blade special was that it radiated it's own light and warmth, neither of which seemed to be able to be absorbed by whatever the arrancar was doing, Allowing Haru to see the incoming strike with enough time to parry the blade off to Haru's left with the blade in his left hand, aiming a punch right at the arrancars face. Haru's fist was wrapped in visible glowing reiryoku as he used one of the only abilities he had without his sword drawn.

Techniques used:

As Vercingetorix approached, he saw a bright flare of light erupt from his opponent. "How absurdly convenient..." he muttered. However, the newly appearing light gave him an opportunity that his opponent may not have considered. Haru parried his blade and he rolled with it, turning over to the right. As he did so, from underneath his cape several small hands lurched forward on arcane arms that seemingly came from nowhere, which would grasp his opponent's arm and give Vercingetorix enough time to maneuver around to the Fullbringer's left.

"We are all entitled to our tricks." Vercingetorix hummed. Keeping a firm grip on Haru, he brandished his blade once again, making an upward slice that would gouge through his opponent from his left leg up to his right shoulder.

Abilities Used:

Haru's punch was caught by extra hands that seemed to sprout out from underneath the espada's cloak. Smirking Haru would would slice upwards cutting through the arms with his glowing blade without even missing a beat Haru would then leap backwards, his blade bursting with a blinding light as it sliced through the shadowy arms. Unfortunately Haru's movement was too slow to completely dodge Vercingetorix's slice, his leg getting nicked deeply as he dodged.

Haru would flash forward, his blade shifting into two as the one in his left at the ready to block V's attack, the blade in his right which was on fire, was slicing at V's midsection with violent force.

Techniques used:

As the distance between the two of them opened up, Haru's blades changed, fusing back into one it was near identical to the blade he was wielding originally at the start of this fight but rather than bright blue, it was the same orange of Explosion... this fusion was not quite as powerful as each blade on it's own but it was a nice balance. Moving at 3x his normally high speed Haru, practically vanishing from view he would reappear behind V and swing his blade hard, which will release a strong explosion on impact, should the blow strike and send V-flying away again Haru would follow it up with a dozen slashes of explosive compressed air
