It was certainly the long route, for when they had finally arrived at Sokyoku Hill the sun had already changed its position in the sky, turning morning into afternoon. Kaigen's legs were somewhat stiff from the long use of them, he would have much preferred a simple shunpo here, it would have saved time but then again the captain wanted to read. Sighing to himself he straightened his kimono slightly and separated himself from his captain while waiting for the avid reader to realize they had arrived. "Inform me when you're ready Ishimaru-Taichou." |

Captain Ishimaru was finishing the last page when the Lieutenant spoke those words. A few moments later he closed the book with a snap and took off his reading glasses. "Alright, I'm done. Sorry for keeping you waiting, my estimate for how long it would take was close though." Isamu laughed "You shouldn't become so withdrawn such that you make me look healthy and normal. Furthermore, solo training and just solo training alone is a longer route to higher power." Isamu spoke as he put a distance of 15 feet between him and his lieutenant "Now then, I will not be using my usual style, I will wait before releases and will be using some Kido." Isamu stood relaxed with his arms at his sides, seemingly relaxed. "Now then... when you're ready." |

Kaigen nodded at his captain's words, no doubt they were directed towards him and his own habits of withdrawing from the world around him. Shifting his feet Kaigen takes a low stance, bending his knees as his left foot is placed forward and his right behind and facing the side, creating a ninety degree angle with his feet. His hand, slowly slipped to the hilt of Seisora and whispered something inaudible to the blade. Yet it was not drawn as of the moment, then again direct confrontation was hardly his specialty. In a flash he pushes off of the ground with a quick sonido that would give credit to any lieutenant, drawing his sword in a flash of movement, slashing at his captain's stomach through the draw as the distance between them becomes minimal. He would force his captain into a defensive position and cause him to release bankai. Kaigen wanted to see the very nature of his captain's abilities so that he could learn himself. |

Isamu drew upon his abilities with the Suiō-ryū style swordsmanship. In a quick, fluid motion he drew his sword and parried the incoming strike is one fluid motion. He had underestimated the power in Kaigen's sword stoke however, the difference caused Isamu to stumble back a little, ruining the way he had planed to counter. Instead he opted to shunpo backwards while re-sheathing his sword and establishing the same distance as he had before. The move was intended to frustrate the lieutenant, in a real combat he would have released his sword, but Isamu was trying to hold back. |

Kaigen noted the moment of miscalculation his captain had made, warrior instinct pressing him forward as he steps forward into an equally fast shunpo. Indeed it was sparring yet he could not allow his skills to falter in any way. He would take this match as seriously as any other. However, even as he stepped forward, closing the distance yet again Kaigen brought his zanpaktou in a two handed cut aimed for his captain's right shoulder, adding a slight upwards slant to the attack so that he could place a greater force behind the attack. Still, due to the lack of a draw his second attack was slower than the last as was the downfall of an Iai jutsu specialist. "Do me the favor of not holding back Ishimaru-taichou, I have no intention of limiting myself." |

Going after the right shoulder would have been the correct choice against most opponents, however Isamu is left handed, thus his sheath is on his right side. In a clean movement Isamu drew his sword in a movement that continued upwards to counter the downwards strike. When the swords made contact he used his right hand in addition so that he could knock the sword to his left. "Not hold back? Forgive me when you wake up." Isamu jumped back "Bankai." Isamu hadn't ever gone strait to bankai before so how it materialized from being sealed was a new experience for him. His Zanpakuto burst into a mass of chain which then enveloped his entire body. The chains multiplied, lengthened and shifted silently a created a large humanoid form that was pot bellied and stood ten feet tall. Red luminescence glowed in the place where eyes would be. Chains thicker than the rest of the form connected 4 weapons to the back. "Shinto Marunoko, Tessama." The voice was somewhat ethereal . "Come." |

The hasted release was more than enough to startle Kaigen, leaping back with a reflexive shunpo he stood at a distance of roughly twenty feet away. The immense spiritual pressure that originated from his captain caused the surrounding air around him to seem heavy, his shoulders even slouching slightly as though weights were placed upon him. The air was heavy and hard to breathe, causing his breaths to turn shallow and ragged from the stress. As it was he would be unable to continue to fight his captain, bankai was certainly a powerful thing. A shame Seisora had yet to allow him bankai, it would have been interesting to surprise his captain. But he would have to settle for what he did have. Extending his arm out to the right of his body, holding his zanpakuto out at level the air swirled and shifted, a small whirlwind forming around his arm and zanpakuto. "Tear the wind, Seisora." With an outward burst of air and spiritual pressure Kaigen's zanpakuto shifted and changed, extending slightly as swirls formed in the structure of the zanpakuto, giving it a birdlike appearance, the blade an easy representation of a beak and talons. Many hooks and serrated edges ran the length of the blade, making it a seemingly unwieldy weapon. Yet it was comfortable in Kaigen's grip, the mastery of the shikai release evident in his firm yet easy stance and the soft grip he had on the hilt of the gleaming zanpakuto. Turning his body so that his side faced Ishimaru, Kaigen concentrated his reiatsu within his zanpakuto, the air becoming dense and humid until a mist began to form, surrounding the two combatants until at last Ishimaru's vision would be so clouded he would be able to see barely ten feet in front of him "Forgive me captain, but I must utilize all my resources if facing a bankai." Even as he spoke though it seemd his voice echoed in and out of existence, failing to divulge Kaigen's location. Though, his location is revealed with a mighty shout and release of his zanpakuto's powers. "Sora no Hoeru!" As his voice proclaims the arrival of his attack a blade of pure air flies towards the captain's bankai's lower back, threatening to cut and pass through even these chains. Though what damage could be had is unknown as of yet, that would have to be known by the captain's reaction. |

"Hmm." Isamu's response seemed lazy, a silent arm of chain grabbed the handle of the pendulum axe and thrust the blade into the oncoming blade of wind, defusing the blade, the air rushed through the holes harmlessly. The imp Marunoko laughed in Isamu's head "The subterfuge is subverted by the eyes of this form, as they see unlike my true eyes..." right after the words he disappeared from view in a shunpo that placed him behind the lieutenant, Shinto Marunoko Tessama had very little effect on his overall agility despite the total disengagement of Isamu's own movement. The other hand of chain held the stone hammer which it then swung down at Kaigen. "You believe my senses are so dull?" |

Kaigen turned with wide eyes, watching the oncoming strike and hearing the musings of his captain. Still, he would not be had so easily, even by a captain. This match was a moment allowed to him for the ability to prove himself as something more than a slouch. Turning himself with a forced speed he brought his zanpakuto up, absorbing most of the attack. However the sheer brute strength caused the rest of the attack to follow through, resulting in Kaigen's body being flung back after a heavy blow that glanced off of his left shoulder, a slight crack of bone easily heard. 'So this is a captain's bankai? I guess I shouldn't have expected it to be easy.' he thought to himself Panting heavily he fell into a crouch, retreating into the mist and hopefully out of view of his captain. His shoulder was already beginning to ache, a bone was likely broken. Watching from afar he pointed his zanpakuto at the captain, using it as a channeling rod whilst he prepared a hado. "Hado #4! Byakurai!" Upon shouting the name a lightning bolt of energy flew from his zanpakuto towards the captain. Judging from the chains his captain would serve as a wonderful lightning rod, hopefully science would prove to be helpful in this instant. |

"Bakudo #39, Enkosen" Normally the attack would be completely absorbed by the arc shield, however, due to the form's size and the restraints it placed on Isamu, The shield was signifigantly weaker than if Isamu was not using bankai. This coupled with the lightning's attraction to it's large metal target made it shatter the shield while expending it's power. The chain hands droped the weapons they were holding, the long chains pulled the weapons back into place on the form's back as an arm grabbed the chain attached to the buzz saw. "Water's grind" The buzzsaw blade transformed into a disk of high velocity, high pressure water. By the chain this disk was flung in a long arc stretching twenty four feet from where he stood. |

Kaigen leaped further away out of instinct, as things stood he would be unable to land an attack against his captain. His captain's range was longer, he was capable of seeing through the mist, and he could even dissipate Kaigen's attacks. On top of the basic facts he could feel his shoulder beginning to swell. Tensing his muscle slightly he tried to will his left arm to move but was met only with excruciating pain that caused his vision to blur slightly. Indeed he could be considered a decently powerful lieutenant but it was clear he was being out classed. Still, he wouldn't cease his attack until he himself blacked out. Stepping into another shunpo Kaigen tries to close the distance with haste. In his zanpakuto he gathers his reiatsu but does not release it as he always would. Tightening his grip he howled the command for another hado as he leaped above his captain, bringing his blade in a downward strike for the massive chain shoulders. "Hado #11! Tsuzuri Raiden! Sora no Hoeru!" In a combination attack his zanpakuto screams with the powers of wind and lightning, combining hado and zanpakuto into a single, fearsome attack, the cutting blast of air kept close to his zanpakuto until at last it seemed his sword would strike chain, releasing the blast of cutting air. |

The lieutenant seemed to have committed himself fully to this attack, a defensive action would prolong things yet a counter could end it. The air cutter could not go that deep though the chains however the lightning would be troublesome. Mentally he sent the command for the arms to smash Kaigen between the hammer and the flat of the pendulum axe blade rather than make a defense. The sword hit the chain on the shoulder, it cut in for seven inches before expending the power of the swing and the air cutter, getting the sword lodged in the mass of chain. The electricity mostly traveled strait from the point of contact to the ground though the form sparing Isamu's body from a a lot of the damage that the electricity would cause, still hurt very much. Of course, the blunt trauma of the flat surfaces coming to together would most likely more than make up for it. There was a guttural shout from Isamu due to the effects of the shock. |

Once the attack itself connects and Kaigen finds his blade lodged between the mass of chains that made of Ishimaru's body, he slips his feet against the mass of chains to push himself away and out of the way of the counter attack. Sadly though, he had reflexively switched his zanpakuto to his left hand as he began to push, causing him to grimace from the pain, giving enough time for the flat counter to make itself highly effective. Indeed it may have not been a lethal attack but it make a sickening thud all the same as Kaigen's body is crushed beneath the attack. Immediately losing consciousness his body becomes lax and limp, slowly falling from Ishimaru's body and to the ground in a blacked out slump. |

After the thud signifying that Kaigen hit the ground reached Isamu's ears. He turned around and looked that the limp body of his lieutenant. He then re-sealed his sword, the sword's spirit, Marunoko, laughing all the while. His hair would have been standing one end if it were shorter, his captain's haori appeared singed and dirty. "You said not to hold back, I apologize for doing so." He spoke slowly while picking up the lieutenant that was twelve pounds lighter and three inches shorter than he was. He then used shunpo to quickly carry the unconscious Kaigen to the infirmary, wondering if this encounter had done the lieutenant any good. |
