Resolve...had alex lost his resolve? He looked at the beaten and battered boy infront of him and couldnt help but think of how legion had so easily nearly taken his life. But he had stood back up hadnt he? no...He had died that day and that young arrancar he had met before had somehow brought him back. He looked at his hand, and then at liem. Was his resolve so weak that this boy could get under his skin? he thought back to all the times he had fought when he was in the SS, he had never let an opponent shake his opinion of his skills like legion had.
Resolve is nothing without the power to back it up. If you dont have the strength to beat your opponent your better off running away. the voice in his head spoke to him. He shook his head. No, the boy was right. He had lost the resolve to truely fight. The shadow of the losses he had faced when he faced Legion last time hung over his heart like a dark cloud, poisoning his resolve. The bubble around them faded slowly as alexander stood there. "The Resolve of a man huh?" he looked toward liem with eyes that seemed to show just how old alexander was.
When was the last time he had seen himself as a man? He had spent so much of his time thinking of himself as somethign unkillable. Somethign that could never lose to anyone or any thing. What an arrogent fool he had been! The air around alexander changed as if invigorated by the boys bravado. He smiled to himself as he removed thye heavy armor he wore. the metal hitting the floor with a thud as it fell. "There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul. I remember that now. Thank you boy." Alexander smiled as he summoned forth 5 fire ball like meteors around his body.
"I may not be the best to teach you, Your right. And ill admit partially i may have been taking out my fears of failure on you. But I see your boundless fields of growth. and want to extend to you more then just a simple fighting experiance. Join me here, at Black Sun Inc. Remind me that if im going to protect humanity, i must keep humanity in my heart and soul." The meteors flew off toward liem at half bala speed. ready to explode on contact with him.

"About time you finally grew a pair." Liam grumbled back, taking note of the changes in Alex's Reiatsu. To think someone his age needed Liam to kick him in the ass in order to extract him from his rut. He had been able to tell something was wrong with the Shinigami from the moment Alex tried to intimidate him with his Reiatsu. A low underlying current of anxiety and fear that one probably would not have noticed during a fight.
But certainly when you were right next to him while said Reiatsu was being flared.
He couldn't help but scoff as Alex offered him a job. "You need to work on your pitch mate." He chuckled, beating the crap out of someone was not the best way to hire them. In fact it might be one of the worst ways to hire someone like Liam. "Just interact with people more. Stop being so damn arrogant." If Alex wanted to protect humanity, then he had to view himself as a human first and a Shinigami second. He would need to speak to people, empathise with them. Learn of their hopes and dreams. Then he could say that he kept humanity in his heart. Only then would he be able to truly protect them.
Instead of dodging to the side or attempting to pointlessly overpower Alexander's attack. Liam instead took the most direct route that would allow him to punch the Shinigami in the face. He ran straight forward, mixing stepping and his Blut in order to survive. Blurring in between the meteors, Liam knew that getting hit by them would not bode well. His Blut might protect him from a glancing blow. But a head-on collision would put him out of commission.
He was lucky enough to only take a glancing hit to his shoulder, his stepping allowing him to outrun the explosion. But his shoulder was badly burned as a result. But that didnt matter. He had finally made it up to Alexander.
Switching his Blut from defensive to offensive, Liam's muscles bulked up as he cocked his fist back. Ready to drive it right into Alex's face.
"Now lets stop playing around and really get into things!"
Time to see just how strong Alex was when he actually had a spine. It would show Liam just how far he would have to go before he was confident in his power.

The boy had managed to dodge the explosion of the meteor, but not the fire that it caused. and alexander couldnt help but smile. he pulled them back toward them mentally, and with his own fist caught the boys enhanced punch. The impact rang out against his gauntlet with a fury of sound like a bell tolling the sound of the time. the boy was strong, Alexander would Admit that. The meteors would continue their advance toward them, only for alexander to make them stop so close to Liams skin that the heat could be felt all around them. "I told you, I know how to counter Blut." His other fist would uppercut the boy, the passive of his caughtlets launching him 100 meters into the air.
The meteors would wobble in the air before chasing after the boy. their speed being that of a cero. Alexander would watch for a second from below before using his stepping speed to pass by the meteors and punch Liam again, sending him flying again. the meteors took off after him again. and Alexander smiled happily. He hadnt had this much fun in a while. As he took off after the boy he would grab one of the meteors and take it with him almost like a football and toss it right at the boys back, the other meteors were coming toward him from all around. Should the meteor hit alexander would smile and move the others out of the way so that he could fall without being hit. it was time to see how the young man did in a fight above the city scape.
Alexander could feel it in his heart. The pulsing of a hidden madness. The beating of a drum he had long forgotten. It had been nearly 3 centuries since he had dreamed of New Rome. But for some reason this fight with this boy was bringing it out of him. He smiled to himself and laughed. "What is it about you... Why do you bring this side out of me?" He smiled to himself as the meteors floated around him. "This urge...This madness that i had hidden away for 300 years. Why do you bring it out of me so easily, this madness to rule!" He smiled and the glow in his eyes grew stronger. something had been reawoken in alexander. and with it, something only someone who had experianced bloodlust would recognize would fill the air.
A disgusting, bloodthirsty reiatsu, filled with killing intent. Eyes testifying of one stonecold purpose. Murder, filled the air. it rushed past those under them, and even humans without the ability to feel souls could tell that somethign bad was coming. They hurried more then they would normally, unsure why, beyond the bad feelign they felt. Alexander looked over the city, as though he was seeing it for the first time. It looked...weak. But he had more pressing matter. He needed to finish with the boy. He scanned the area for the boy, looking for him.

Liam wasnt entirely sure that simply overpowering Blut could be considered a counter. Sure it was effective, but in Alex's case it only worked due to the slowly decreasing difference in strength between them. Of course if the Shinigami had a specific technique to bypass of disable Blut, Liam would agree with the statement. But right now he was simply annoyed at Alex's poor choice of words. But he would have to dwell on boasts at a later time. Right now he had to deal with the multitude of blows coming his way. As strong as his Blut was, it could not withstand the force of Alexander's blows. But he would not cry out in pain. He would not gasp or hiss as his bones cracked. He would not give Alexander that satisfaction. Every blow Liam withstood, he would take it with stoic pride. Never bending, never breaking. The comets however, were free game. With the pull of a trigger, a bright flash of light burst forth from his body. While not enough to stop the attacks outright. It was enough to weaken them to the point where his Blut could absorb the impact without too much of an issue. It did ruin his jacket though. Alexander would certainly be getting a bill for that some time in the future. That was of course, if Liam could stop That Man from simply storming the building and killing the Shinigami right then and there. Now that he thought about it, it was certainly going to be a pain explaining his current state to Albert. But enough of that, he needed to get back to the fight at hand. Most pressingly, he had to deal with the fact that he may have inadvertently created a supervillain. Today was simply not Liam's day. To think it all started just because he wanted to get his bike fixed. In another blur of Hirenkyaku, Liam would make a rapid series of steps until he was some distance away from Alexander. Facing the CEO with a scowl on his face. "God you are fucking annoying." He growled. "First you're a pussy and now you're a goddamn supervillain. You need to see a fucking therapist to get that head of yours checked out. What are you actually trying to accomplish here?"{Spoiler}Name: Cleansing Thunderclap
Class: Quincy Style
Tier: III-IV
Type: Defensive
Range: 50 Meter Radius/ 100 Meters
Description: Pulling the trigger on his pistol, an eruption of charged Reishi surges out from Liam's body or the barrel of his bow at cero speed. Doing no damage to others. This technique is designed to work against other forms of techniques such as illusions, defenses, poisons and other offensive techniques. Canceling them out at greater or equal advantages. At lesser advantages, their effects are simply weakened. |
