Provocation [Gage]

Finally some time off, Gage had spent the last four or five weeks fighting tooth and nail to get his side of the town cleaned up, the influx of Hollows in the area having spiked since the attack on Karakuratown by the Olympus group. Some type of organized Arrancar group that felt that they had more right to hunt in the human world than the humans did to live in it. It was not their goal but it certainly did leave a bad taste in his mouth, the Arrancar all making him feel nothing but more set in his goal. The spiritual beings out there needed to stay in their worlds, leave the fighting in the realms that they come from and leave the human world alone. Humans as a whole have a hard enough time surviving with the evil people out there much less with a secret underworld war that they cannot see happening around them quickly rushing them to their graves.

Gage was alone, the slowly falling snow calming his nerves as he listens to the soft crunch of the thin layer under foot. Ahead of him he spots a lone girl, the snow over head having given her a light layer making her seem like she had been there for a while. Hmmmm, odd. "Hello? Are you alright?" Gage closed the distance, it was odd for a single woman to be out in the weather by herself like this but it was even more odd that she had not moved enough for snow to have built a light layer on her.

Gage stopped when she spoke, the words not being normal in any way. It was actually kinda surprising, was she injured or lost? What could he have done? Then she did it, there was little out there that was able to upset him or run him off as he tended to think himself invulnerable but this was just startling. She grew, so fast that Gage did not even react, just watching in horror as she erupted upwards. On her face was a Hollows mask, now covering what feminine features that there were. The eyes, dead and hollow just stared at him. "Oh my god..." She was an Arrancar, the welling wall of energy flowing past him hollow and oddly familiar. Darting backwards in ten foot steps he zig zags away, his heart rising up into his chest but he swallows it down, the adrenaline of the surprise making him deaf to everything around him except for this nightmare of a monster. Thick hair coated the entirety of the body with her hands becoming long and gnarled like a witches while wall after wall of dead musky energy washed over him.

"Fine," rolling over backwards Gage pulls up a layer of earth underneath him, coating his body in a wall of protective rock, concrete if there was any and just dirt. Standing upright he looks entirely different, looking like a large earth elemental, big round fists with jutting rocks out of the knuckle area. Standing eight and a half feet tall Gage starts forward, each step rumbling the ground beneath his feet with the increase in weight. At a dead run Gage leaps, one fist drawn, ready to throw a punch as soon as the hollow is close enough.

The spray was wide and covered the air like a mist, hitting everything that was exposed with its corrosive properties. Making solid contact with the catching arm of the hollow Gage feels his fist snap something, him unable to visibly make out what it was that he struck that snapped. With one arm out stretched for the punch Gage's other arm is raised covering his burning eyes, the sensation of pain quickly replaced with the sudden impact of force in front of him. He was unable to see it but a Cero, nearly perfectly placed had impacted him in his torso, the stone and earth making a weak and feeble shield as the blast blew him away.

The force was placed nearly square in the center of his chest, the blast detonating with the force of a grenade, sending all his stone armor away like shrapnel. Landing on both feet nearly fifteen meters away Gage is riddled with cuts from the explosion. His torso is covered with a massive black and blue bruise that is quickly letting small droplets of blood to the surface as sand like particles of stone had pierced into his chest. Grinding his teeth Gage does what he can to get his bearings, the pain in his eyes almost invisible to the sudden ache from all over his body. Gage had to fight the panic back as the pain of his eyes set in and turned quickly to blindness, making him face what he knew as a hollow but even worse, one that he would have to fight without eyes.

Opening his eyes Gage feels his energy swell into his eyes, green energy flickering up to light the back of his bleeding eyes so that they put off an eerie glow, the world coming back into view as something entirely different. He was using his Soul Communication to 'see' the souls around him, the spiritual energy of the hollow standing in front of him washing off waves of energy, residual from releasing the Cero into him.

"Fine," Gagetook a step forward, green energy ripping litterally from everything withing 100 meters of him and where he stands. I cut you slack last time, you walked away and managed to survive but a hollow is a hollow. You burn here. Arching through the air it forms into a massive ball at his hand which he has to hold above his head. Swelling the orb grows and grows until it reaches a size extending out to nearly ten meters across. Leaping upwards and backwards Gage see's the world underneath him, the snow melted, trees and bugs all dead. All their energy was stored, fit into the center of this massive bomb of energy.

Hurling it down at the hollow he wondered what kind of fall out there would be. The intensity of the blast normally matched the strength of the spiritual energy stored in the bomb but he did not really look around to gauge the strength of the area.


Name: Bringers Sight
Class: Reiryoku Technique
Tier: II-III
Type: Supplementary
Range: 100m
Description: This is the generic ability for Full bringers to draw on their own bodies, amplifying their eyesight to extreme levels. This allows eagle like vision, vision comparable to having a x40 magnifying glass and finally the ability to see spiritual energy in anything around them. This vision is as if everything were made of energy, hot spots showing more vibrantly in color and weak energy showing as more grey.

Name: Soul Bomb
Class: Soul Communication
Tier: VII Tier V
Type: Offensive
Range: 75m
Description: Gage has mastered Soul Communication, becoming the pinnacle of the skill as a whole. Drawing on the souls of every living thing within 100 meters Gage is able to use that Reiatsu and condense it into a 10 meter wide glowing green ball of spiritual energy. This orb is too wide to hold out in front of himself at ground level so he generally holds it above his head, hurling it down upon what ever target he see's fit. The orb has an outer shell that is Tier III strong and will not rupture to detonate unless this shell is broken or the post ends. When the Orb detonates it detonates with the force of a Tier VII over a Radius of 25 meters. AoE rules apply to this attack and both the throw and the detonation move at Cero speeds.

Drawback: Soul Communication cannot be used in that 100meter area again for a minimum of 10 posts as the spiritual energies must recover from being drawn out in such large amounts.
