With Each Death... [EVENT]

The scene of battle was dispiriting. The average shinigami was no match to the average quincy soldier. Ichika slashed left and right, reducing the numbers of the less powerful quincy where she could, before she came across something she did not expect.

Her former captain, Kensei Muguruma, against a tree with a Quincy closing in on him. If he was so strong that he could defeat her captain, Ichika would definitely not be his opponent. However, her loyalty to a captain of the Gotei Thirteen did not allow her to run away like she did when she saw the other stronger quincy.

Building up her spiritual power inwardly, she moved towards the strongest man on the battlefield while locking on to any surviving quincy nearby with her spiritual sensing.

She would not burst out onto the scene in some grand entry. No, against someone so strong, she would not even stand in front of her former captain to block. However, this did not mean she would not do anything.

Several miniature storms comprised entirely of slashes physical and spiritual suddenly burst out on the battlefield, most of which aimed at the Quincy warrior and the spear in his hand to strike from every angle at maximum intensity. The rest were sent towards however many surviving quincy in her range that she could detect. The last thing she needed was being struck by a stray survivor while fighting someone so strong.

Not that she intended to. She was planning to get out with her Captain and take him to the Fourth Division... if they were still operating.

Knowing she can not escape detection anymore, Ichika immediately started running around the strong quincy in a large circle. As she passed by one, she scooped up a dead quincy's body that was beheaded, holding it up from his clothes at the back, allowing it to slump over her head with her peeking out below his armpit for eyesight. With her teenage figure, she was able to use an adult as a meat shield. While it was clear that a spear from before would easily pierce through this meat shield, it served a second purpose. Pressing her free hand's finger against his back, she immediately began to write, using the meat shield to hide her action.

No time for conversation or even some sort of entry line. It was all action. To pull this off, she had to come in quickly and leave just as fast.

Note: She only has one sword on display. The second sword of her Zanpakuto is hidden in her clothes.
Items worn:
Name: 死覇装・改 (Shihakushō Kai) Modified Garment of Dead Souls
Class: Item Creation
Tier: VII
Type: Item
Range: N/A
Description: A modified Shihakushō made by the Captain of the 12th division. Appears just like any other uniform, but the material it’s made of is different. It’s durable enough to withstand the might of Shunkō being released by the wearer without tearing. It is also capable of repairing itself in combat over one post as long as it has not taken damage for three posts. This specific one has the Seventh Division’s insignia inscribed on the inside where it’s traditionally placed. As it was made to order for someone’s personal use, it has a single special ability.

Name: 幻光 (Genkō) [Illusory Light]
Class: Item
Tier: III
Type: Passive
Range: Self
Description: When a limb moves, the air is pushed around it. When the material of this cloth moves, light is pushed around it instead. The result is that when the wearer moves, the exact movement is distorted, becoming blurry and making it impossible to accurately read one’s physical movements through visual means.


Name: Dangai Particle Infection
Class: Item Creation
Tier: N/A
Type: Passive
Range: N/A
Description: After fighting a strange creature now referred to as a 'Dangai Spirit', slicing it too finely with her Dimension Slash had caused the particles to become small enough to infect her. Aggravated and shaped by constant training with her pseudo Shunko, the infection has now manifested as a collection of overlapping, purple, diamond-shaped markings that disperse into fading vein-like extensions, located on her upper back. As a biological infection, it cannot be broken and provides no defense. Ominous, purple particles gather into the marking from the surroundings.

Once a thread, Ichika may utilize the power of the Dangai to temporarily capture the essence of a single non-passive technique for use for the remainder of the thread. Her proficiency with executing the technique itself is related to her Reiryoku Techniques mastery.

Techniques used:

Name: 次元斬 (jigenzan) [Dimension Slash]
Class: Zanjutsu
Tier: III-VII
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Description: An evolution of the Spacial Rend technique. Locking onto a target person, a single motion of the blade gives birth to a multitude of reiatsu slashes from all angles striking that space. These slashes form at the max speed possible for their tier and have different forms, listed below, but are all essentially the same technique performed at varying scales and power. Dodging this attack requires stepping before the starting motion is executed and interrupting requires stopping the sword hand.
Drawback: Requires Air Sword Style: Spacial Rend.

Name: 次元斬・絶 (jigenzan zetsu) [Absolute Dimension Slash]
Tier: VII
Description: Dimension Slash at it's greatest output. The user locks onto as many targets within 80 meters as possible then unleashes several 3x3x3 meter Dimension Slashes at their vital points instead of covering a large area.

Name: 言霊翻訳 Kotodama Honyaku
Class: Reiryoku Technique
Type: Supplementary
Range: Self
Tier: I
Description: Kotodama refers to the power of language. This is prevalent in a Shinigami's powers: The name of the Kidō holds power, and so do their incantations. A Zanpakutō's name and technique names also hold power. Honyaku means "translation", to change from one language to another. However, this ability translates the language from "vocal speaking" to "physical movement" (usually of the lips). The words themselves are the same, but they are not conveyed through the usual vocal medium, but physical motions. This is accomplished by shaping one's spiritual energy into words itself. By pulsing spiritual energy to one's lips, finger or even the foot or toes, the motion of that particular part can "move" the spiritual energy gathered to it, which is then shaped into the words required for anything which would otherwise involve speaking (Kidō incantations, names, release phrases, etc). The user can even switch mediums of "speaking" mid-incantation, but only one medium can be active at any time (e.g no moving the lips and writing at the same time).
When this technique is active, words "spoken" this way will take an etheral, visible form in the color of the user's spiritual pressure.
Drawback: This does not decrease the time taken to recite incantations. In some cases (such as using the foot), this may actually increase the time taken to "speak".

Preparing: A Kido Technique (PM me if I have to reveal which one I'm using)

No need to hide?

There were many reasons to hide. For one, the guy is multiple times stronger than her. Even though a Captain had come, he had already downed one of them, how was Ichika supposed to beat him? That said, the arrival of the Fifth Division Lieutenant taking away Captain Muguruma voided the idea of retreating with the captain, now that someone else was doing what she had intended to do.

Now she had to deal with this oncoming spear. That was easy, since she had already prepared for a counter attack. Throwing the body, she let the spear pierce it through while she got out of the way so it would not skewer them both. At the same time she threw the corpse, she pointed her index and middle finger towards the Quincy.

Immediately, six beams of yellow light materialised from nothing and shot for the Quincy's waist. A staple of high-level (or slightly under high level) combat, numbered 61 on a long list of spells. If it worked, it would render him immobile, even if just for a short moment. If it didn't, he would still have to expend the strength and time to deal with it.

Without speaking a word, she continued to keep a fair distance from the Quincy as she ran through a large circular path around him. Her aim was to reach the Ninth Division Captain and the Fifth Division Lieutenant and aid their escape so that she could have reason to get running.
