start of the end [invite]

The resulting mixture of Alrich merging his power with his doll was a formidable event in itself, but throw in the activation of the Jokai Crest to its full power and you have yourself a very bad situation if you're in the way of the resulting juiced up figure. As the explosion of red and black reiatsu died down after a good several minutes Alrich was still on his knees in the sand, but now not only was he in a crater, created by the force of just the twos combined power. But his look was now different as well.

His brown hair was now jet-black, and his skin was pulsating with black lines. Almost as if some sort of black arcane liquid had been pumped though him, but that was not all; the liquid seemed to be alive, as it moved and pulsated, making Alrich's skin look something like that was straight out of a nightmare. The surrounding area was now cleared of any of the crystallized trees that the menos forest was known for as well. Alrich was silent for quite a bit of time, his chest heaving was the only sign of life from him as his eyes remained closed.

The wind began to pick up, streaming a blanket of white sand in every direction, as if in a odd sort of dance.

It was at this moment Alrich finally began to stir. His eyes snapped open and a look of fear engulfed him as he shot up to a standing position. He looked around as if expecting someone to be there. His expression of fear turned into straight paranoia, as he took a step away from the crater he created. However, his leg gave out and he howled in pain. A red aura surrounded him and began to torrent around the distraught bount as he tired to stand, but the pain was too much.

The voices had returned, but now they were unimaginable in terms of how they sounded, it was like something straight out of a horror movie.

"Shut up." Alrich growled as he pulled himself slowly to his feet again. The voices did not heed his words.

"I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, exerting a pulsing wave of pure energy outward before being engulfed in another explosion like the one from earlier. But this time it was more elaborate, and on a much larger scale. But this time something else was present. The feeling of malice, anger and pure fear that was exuding from this energy was enough to even make the stomach of a hollow tie in knots.

With a long, drawn out sigh Alrich raised his gaze to the monstrous Arrancar that stood roughly thirty meters away from where he stood in pain. He tried to speak but found it very, very rough to do so. Fighting through the splitting headache he had he managed to growl in a mixture of his own voice that bore tones of a overlayed, more prepubecent voice that was his doll.

"Leave me alone. I-I'm not in a mindset to be ... to be bothered right now."

His teeth clenched at he forced the words from his mouth. He was completely oblivious to just how powerful the being who stood before him was, as he was too preoccupied with the voices that kept surfacing throughout his head. As well as the pain. He was about to just turn and try and walk away but as he was in mid motion of doing so he stopped as a voice he knew all too well split into his concious.

"Kill him." Tyr said in his mind. "Just ... kill him."

Unknowing to Alrich however this was not just in his mind, he actually said this aloud. energy flared around the unstable bount as he turned back to the ape shinigamified hollow. His eyes flashed from scared and hurt to being full of malific intent. His breathign slowed, as he removed the blades that he had hidden within his clothing. Brandishing the dual trench knives in his hands within a blink of an eye, he was gone.

Reapearing right in front of Tyrannus Alrich slammed his left weapon filled fist into the hollow, with enough power behind it to obliterate a building.

"You're pretty pathetic."

The voice of his doll bit into his mind as the Hollows counter attack hit him full force in the neck. Their was the crack of bone as his neck broke, and the force of the blow threw him across the sand floor like some kid was skipping a rock across a lake, leaving a progressively deeper trench before he came to a sudden stand still.

"Well? Are you just going to die now? Haha I knew it, oh well, I guess .."

Alrich spat up blood as he pushed himself to his knees, sand flowing from his clothes like he had just taken a bath from it, which he kind of did ironically. If taking a bath felt like getting hit by a bus going one hundred miles per hour down the highway anyway. He could not move his head, but there was an immense pain when he did.

"Heal it."

Tyr said silently. Alrich did nothing but just sit there, with his knees in the white sands of Hueco Mundo. He was about to answer the voice in his head but all that came out of his mouth was blood. Was this the end, already? With all of the power that his doll said they had, was he capable of nothing more than taking a single hit before he crumbled to his death?

"Of course not." Tyr snickered.

Blue streams of reishi swirled around Alrich as once more, pulsating waves of red and black energy shot from the youths body. The streams of energy were pulled into his neck, and before you knew it, his neck was healed. Standing up and eyeing the ape hollow before him, Alrich spat out the remainder of the blood from his mouth and flexed his fists. Raising his blades so that he was in a more defensive stance, he stared onward just as the blades glowed red.

Tensing as the hollow had smirk grow upon his face, Alrich poured latent spiritual energy into his whole body, giving himself a golden outline of pure Reiryoku. And with this aura that surrounded him, Tyrannus would find both his reengaging Telekinesis attack, as well as he physical blows ineffective. This was Alrich's "Nichtsagide", his Aegis of Nothing, his strongest defensive technique, of which he gained after stealing the power of another hollow ironically.

Both of Tyrannus blows, would fall upon what would have felt like unforgiving stone, but with an intriguing after effect, of which Alrich hoped would take the monkey off-guard. Anything that came into physical constant with Alrich's Aegis aura, would find themselves bound to that spot, and under the same stance they were in at the time they touched it; Effectively paralyzing them.

Regardless of how his opponent would react however, as soon as the hollow came within range Alrich would then move in to strike his own counter, thrusting Warbler (the blade on his left hand) just bellow Tyrannus left shoulder, and right into the meaty part of his chest. If it connected he would let go of Warbler and use the momentum of his attack to spin away, granting him a very small amount of distance from the hollow. While doing this, he would bring his now free left hand to his mouth and blow on it, creating an orb of light that just as his spinning stopped, he would launch at Tyrannus.

He would not have been done but for a very odd thing that happened to him. His head split back into pain, as a red glow peirced though his clothes. Falling to his knees once more, the light grew brighter, and a terribly insurmountable amount of energy could be felt emanating from Alrich's body. There was a pulse from the red light, before it exploded outward, destroying his upper garments as well as breaking through his Aegis of nothing for a moment, revealing an intricate black tattoo on Alrich's chest, which pulsed from black, to a glowing and sinister red.

The Jokai Crest was now fully awakened.

The arrancar show that he was no push over, as he drained everything Alrich had thrown at him with little to no afterthought. had he not been in the state of mind that he was in, Alrich might have even been taken aback from the whole ordeal, as the display of might from the other was actually quite impressive. However, Alrich was in his mentally unstable point, the point where unless his body was cleaved in two he could not give a less of a fuck about anything.

Staring solemnly with eyes empty of everything but hatred that was no even towards the demon soul himself, Alrich began his counter as the ape tried to put distance in between them. Tryannus would soon know that his attempt to negate Alrich's power was rather futile, as the burning effect that the bount's merger created resurfaced, devastating once again the area around him. His blades hummed with a crimson glow once again, however his Aegis was now depleted.

Kicking up a sand typhoon with his regained speed, he launched himself toward the ape, his left arm cocked back in what seemed to be an attempt to slice him with the red energy that enveloped his trench knife. However this was not the case, as mid stride a black energy rimmed with blue reishi crackled around his arm and as soon as it surfaced, he launched it toward the hollow. As the beam of black energy would attempt to collide with Tyrannus, Alrich would follow up with a slash from the knife in his right hand, quelling any attempt the other had to dodge. His burning aura flared as it got stronger after these two initial blows were made. No games were to be played here, not in the condition Alrich's mind was in now.

As Tyrannus transformed into his god sized true self, Alrich didn't even flinch. Nothing like that mattered or would phase him at this point. His eyes never changed from the orbs of pain and anger that was welling inside of him right now. And as the hollow launched himself into the air, a feat that was actually quite an achievement, the air around Alrich began to burn more heavily now. The sand around him began to glow white hot, as he himself dashed into the air, using his vastly superior speed at this point he used his Springen in succession to place himself above the titanic ape.

And just as he popped behind the furry hollows backside, his right arm was cocked back ready for a blow that would help the other decent. Slamming his right fist into the Tyrannus, he smashed it with all his new found godlike power, which was augmented by the shunko werewolf shroud around him. But after he would strike the blow, he would then again step away, but this time under the titan, as if issuing a challenge that would test the twos power. One way or another, this fight was not fated to last much longer after this.

As the ape came crashing down Alrich took his last stand. In his fist, black energy crackled, rimmed with blue reishi. It grew in size until it was twice as big as he was. His eyes were so far gone now of any emotion but the purest of anger and hate, it was as if there were no emotion at all. Energy flowed around him, sending ripples of strong wind in all directions. This was going to be the clash of the ages, one of which not even the time he fought Kensei could even add up to.

With a snarl alrich launched himself toward the hulking figure above, slowly shoving the enlarged burst of energy that emanated from his fist due to the amount of resistance it caused in just the air alone from being so powerful. The power Alrich displayed here was so far off of that which he possessed during his other years in Karakura. He was starting to become a monster, one that would eventually devour itself if action was not taken. But would he ever reach that place? Who knows. Who knew if he would even live this fight, either way right now he did not care.

ooc: short post to end the fighting
used the same thing as before, his tier vii god fist merger ability. (busy so cant link but its in the other post if you wanna look)

She had been there for quite some time now, hovering far above the battlefield to remain out of sight and undetected, but close enough that she could see the outcome of the battle. Arms across her chest and with a smile on her face, she watched the battle between her newest addition to Olympus, Poseidon, and an unknown assailant. There was no reiatsu emanting from him, and he did not resemble that of a Quincy, but he was powerful. They both were, the very land trembled beneath them, and sand turned to glass mountain as they collided with such a force, it nearly made Emilia retreat further away. Remnants of sand whipped up passed her as her two guards shielded their faces, but did not retreat. To most, this would be reason enough to flee, to disappear before this unknown enemy took notice of them, but to Emilia? This was opportunity. They were tired, she knew that, but she also knew that compared to such forces, she was far weaker, and while Poseidon stood with her, he would be unable to defend her against whoever this man was. It mattered little. "Come, men. We have business to attend to." Removing her arms from her chest, she stepped forward and disappeared, only to re-appear not far from Tyrannus, her two soldiers in tow. Calmly, slowly, she made her way towards Tyrannus who was a bloody and battered mess, kneeling down beside him, she glanced over his war-torn body. By rights, he should be dead, but the Hollow was resilient. "Impressive, Poseidon. I knew you were strong, but not to this extent. You fought well, but now it is time to rest." Standing, she turned away from him and gestured to her soldiers. "Prepare him for travel. He will recover on Olympus where our healers may tend to him." They nodded and moved passed her.

Emilia, on the other hand, headed the opposite direction, to where the unnamed warrior now occupied. Standing in the center of the now scarred land, she merely gazed in his direction. "And you, warrior. You have piqued my curiosity. Such tremendous power, and yet I cannot sense you. Either you're skilled at hiding your presence, or you are something much more. Regardless, you and I have much to discuss." She smiled, unphased by the fact that this man could kill her in a instant. "Oh, where are my manners. Please, forgive me. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Athena, and that..." She gestured to the Hollow behind her."Is Poseidon. It appears the two of you have become well... acquainted."
