Bleach RPG: Shadows of Memories

[Blade]

IK
:
The fight was not going good at all, after the figure had realized there were more fighters, he just stepped up his attacks, though not too fast, just like he was holding back energy at first. Ichigo had just dodged a few slashes, and jumped back, panting.
"Dangit! How are we going to beat this guy!?" Ichigo yelled out, and then thought something to himself.
There's a way I could... but... No, it's too powerful! And not to mention I can't even control it yet...

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: Ichigo usually releases his Bankai without any second thoughts. The only time I can think of that he waited was when he was in Las Noches.

IC:
Torao went to attack with more metal spears, while looking for an opening. He finally found one. He aimed his finger at the enemy.

Hado-no yon! Byakurai! A blast of lightning left his fingers.

[Blade]

OOC: *Scratches head* Oops. Maybe he meant for him to use?

IC ()
:
"Hah!" The figure yelled out, unleashing a wave of Spiritual energy from his hand, before charging up a blast around his hand, and punched it towards his new attacker.

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: *Shrugs*

Whatever you say, Rudolph.

IC:
Takeo had to act fast. He raised his arm. Bakudo-no hachi! Seki! A round shield formed on his arm, and took the hit. There was a large pulse of spiritual energy, and Takeo was sent flying into a building.

Dang... If it weren't for the kido I just cast, I'd be dead...

[Blade]

OOC: xD

IK
:
"Grr, I have no choice!" Ichigo said, the others having taken the attention off him, giving him enough time.
"BAN!" Ichigo started by yelling that word out, putting his hand on his arm, as the guy turned his head towards Ichigo.
"KAI!!!"

[Dudebot5000]

IC:
Torao pulled himself from the rubble, his muscles aching from the crash. Then he saw a wave of black and white. He relaxed; he was in for a treat. He was about to witness the power of the one who had defeated his captain, Kuchiki Byakuya, in single combat.

[Blade]

IK
:
As the spiritual energy let out from Ichigo's Bankai faded off, the first thing anyone watching that could see spirits would notice is that Ichigo had on a different outfit, and his Zanpakutou had changed.
"Tensa Zangetsu." He announced, and looked at his opponent.
"Now, to finish this." He said, and sped towards the guy, who looked over, and casually raised his sword to block as Ichigo quickly slashed at the guy 3 times, aiming to finish this as quickly as possible.

[Dudebot5000]

IC:
From what I remember, Takeo thought, Ichigo's Bankai has insane amounts of speed and power. But if I try to assist, would I just be getting in his way?

[Blade]

IK
:
"Hmph." The figure said, and disappeared, but when he reappeared, he couldn't find the Shinigami.
"Looking for someone?" Came a voice from above him, and the figure glanced up to see the Shinigami with orange hair above him.

---

Ichigo grinned, and Flash-Stepped behind the figure, who turned around to block as Ichigo then started to speed up his attacks.
I'd use Getsuga Tenshou, but... It seems when I use it in this form, it gives that other guy a chance to come out. Ichigo thought, and then inwardly laughed.
Heh, I can take this guy myself anyway.

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: Ichigo doesn't learn about that 'till the Arrancar arc... >_>

IC:
Torao blinked. He knew Ichigo was fast, but this was insane. So... This is the power of Bankai...

[Blade]

OOC: Correction, after the Bount arc Remember, Shinji appears and tells him soon after the Bount arc... Gah, I'm all confused now >_< *WIll edit in a sec*

IK
:
Heh. Well, might as well make use of all my abilities. Ichigo thought to himself, and and sped behind his opponent.
"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" He yelled out, slashing as a black wave of spiritual energy burst from around his Zanpakutou and headed for his opponent, who was surprised, and just barely Flash-Stepped out of the way.

OOC: ... Wait a second, if using GT in Bankai makes the hollow able to come out more, how didn't he in MoN? =/

/EDIT: Ah, I get it... He didn't use GT in Bankai in MoN, he just had his Spiritual energy flowing all around him in Bankai... That actually was a nice catch, because if they had, and he was able to keep himself in check, it'd be able to be further in...

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: I have recently found that MoN happens sometime during the Arrancar Arc. The EXACT timing is unknown, though.

IC:
Torao watched with interest. So that's why Kuchiki-taicho lost. I'd be better off watching than trying to help out. I'd probably be in the way, anyway.

[Blade]

OOC: Wow, that's interesting... So does that mean that they all know about Arrancar and masks by then? </hopeful>

IK
:
Ichigo sped up to his opponent, and proceeded to slash against the sword of the other, who was also attacking at Ichigo, jumping back and returning to the attack after a second of being on the ground...

OOC: Stalling until I get the answer, because this actually gives me... Well, I can't say. And, something further in now surprises me as I remember it and something during the "Memories in the Rain" part of the Manga... Remember how it says that wounds in Shinigami form transfer to the real form? I actually used that in one part without even realizing it was canon xP But, explaining further would give spoilers of this, so... *Shuts up*

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: Dunno. But based on the fact that Ichigo doesn't have his mask yet in the movie, I'd say that either it hasn't happened yet, or they just learned about them and Ichigo has yet to go to the Vizard.

IC:
Torao looked around briefly, then returned his gaze the fight. Where'd Kenji go...?

[Blade]

OOC: Well, technically they just didn't show it... Can I just assume this is far enough in that they know about those two things, but just haven't gone to Hueco Mundo yet? Heck, maybe it all happened in the time I gave between the opening post and now xP Because I have a plan for this...

IK
:
Ichigo was quickly expending his energy, being in Bankai after all, yet the stranger was still deflecting it somewhat easy, even if he had had to speed up his moves due to Ichigo's Bankai.
"Heh, have enough yet?" Ichigo taunted, and the stranger said nothing, focusing on blocking Ichigo's attacks.

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: I've checked, and Ichigo begins learning about Arrancar and Vizard and whatnot right at the very first couple episodes of the Arrancar Arc. So I'd probably say that MoN happened between the time Arrancar started popping up and Ichigo headding to the Vizard. DDR would then have happened after Ichigo's initial training day with the Vizard, but before he went to HM. So I'd say he'd be aware of them.

IC:
Kenji was elsewhere, looking around, checking reiatsu levels. Where'd Zaraki-taicho and Yachiru-fukutaicho go...? They don't seem to be far off, but where...?

OOC: A note on Ichigo's Bankao, BTW.

As explained by Byakuya Kuchiki, Ichigo's Bankai is a compression of his remarkable power, rather than a vast expansion as other Bankai are. This vastly compressed power enables to reach levels of physical prowess most Shinigami would have their bodies give out at.

Furthermore, the fact that all of his energy is "compressed" means that usage of his Bankai doesn't expel as much spiritual power as other Bankai from the point of activation; thus allowing him to use Tensa Zangetsu at a much longer duration than any other Bankai users of his level.

Bankai doesn't tire Ichigo.

[Blade]

OOC: No, but I meant that his Bankai is going to run out soon, since he's using up his spiritual energy Not as quickly as Tensa Zangetsu runs out in Dark Souls of course Like, it's staying for a while, but will run out soon for plot purposes. And those are pretty cool things you found. Any way that we could say that this is happening close to DDR? That way Ichigo has his mask.

IK
:
Ichigo kept attacking at the stranger, but found he kept deflecting the attacks, but didn't bother to counter attack...

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: Meh, I guess.

IC:
Zaraki was still running. For apparently no reason. At least Yachiru was having fun, though.

[Blade]

OOC: If this was in the normal part, one more day... =P

IK
:
"Rraah!" Ichigo yelled out, slamming his sword onto his opponent's sword, as suddenly his Bankai ran out.
... Oh dang. Ichigo thought, as the guy stood there, and then smirked. The guy then slashed into Ichigo before he could respond, and kicked him halfway across the battlefield, as Rukia turned towards Ichigo and ran over to him.

[Dudebot5000]

OOC: Now I know why I never responded to this. I have nothing to respond to.
Oh well.

IC:
Zaraki kept running. He still had no clue where he was going.
