[Nathanael D. Striker]

"As you wish," said Striker as he appeared to have vanished in the air. He used that time to lightning dash behind Ichigo.

"Hello buddy. Didn't expect me to do this?" As they both began their decent, Striker flawlessly executes a spin kick to Ichigo's head. [i]How did I pull that off?[/i] he asked himself. Striker landed on both feet regardless if Ichigo countered his attack or not. [i]I need to step up my game,[/i] he thought.

OoC: Flawlessly, in the context, means perfect technique. It is dodge it still.

Your Post Is Now Acceptable.

1:Do not use words that imply auto-hits. Even if it would make sense if explained. If you need to post an OoC explaining why it works in context then you need to change your word choice.

2:Never assume your attack hits. Your last lines of text need to be the details with which your attack launches at your foe. Not your actions after you attack. The only exception to this rule is when you fire ranged attacks. Then you can move afterwords or even launch a supplementary attack.

OOC: 4 lines minimum as you only had three. You are making it too short.

As Ichigo heard the lightning in Striker's speed, he screamed "Bankai: Tensa Zangetsu" Ichigo was becoming covered in smoke and fog from when he had screamed. When the fog began to clear, Ichigo was now covered in a sphere of blue aura blocking Striker's kick. His appearance of his sword change into a katana and a chain around his forearm. His outfit had also changed as well. Ichigo pushed off the ground to meet Striker at a 5 feet distance. "I can continue this even, I will never die."

[Jake the Sage]

Sitting back I watched the entire thing occur, with Taisen jumping in when need be. Shrugging my shoulders I question to myself why I even need to be here, [i]"Wasn't I supposed to be fighting or refreeing?"[/i] I really didn't know the answer. If I got up and joined the fight things could turn around so everyone was fighting me and that wasn't a good idea. As for refreeing it seemed as if Taisen was doing a good enough job on his own without my intervention. Putting my cigar case away I look up at the group, "So yeah am I just going to sit here and watch or was there something important I was going to do?"

[Nathanael D. Striker]

"Now I remember," said Striker. "You are one of those Bleach characters. I hate it when people abuse Bleach in RPs." Striker sat down and raised a light shield protecting himself from Ichigo. He sat still and uttered an incantation.

"Shi mi no chi liao mo!" A surge of power went through Striker as he uttered the incantation. As he finished, the power began to illuminate inside him. He was now Sokani Striker [i]This power shall be the last one he sees,[/i] thought Striker as he stood up. He lowered the light shield in 1 quick motion. "Time to die Ichigo!"

Sokani launched multiple chaos rays towards Ichigo followed by a Dark Containment orb. "How do you like me now!"

[Simping For Hina]

Ichigo lifted the palm of his hands into the air and swiped it across his fingers. A mask appeared cover is entire face, his eyes turned black a red, "You think that would hurt me? You know nothing of my abilities, Strikey!" said Ichigo in a computeric voice. He swung his sword from his shoulder to the ground and screamed, "Getsuga Tensho!" A dark and red aura slash appeared in the air passing through the dark containment orb and on it's way towards Striker. "Just do not even bother."

[Nathanael D. Striker]

"You forgot the chaos rays my friend," chuckled Sokani as he lightning dashed behind Ichigo to avoid the aura slash. He then launched more chaos rays towards Ichigo and followed them up with a Dark aura slash of his own. [i]Ichigo needs to learn about the abilities I possess. If he did, he would have learned that my FES can end him quickly, but he doesn't know that so I can surprise him,[/i] Sokani thought as he waited to see what Ichigo would do next. His attacks were impressive, but he wasn't going at it 100%. That would be him using his FES.

[Simping For Hina]

As the rays started towards him, he flashstepped on of the way right behind Sokani. He lifted up his sword into the air and screamed "Getsuga Tensho" again and the Red and Black Aura slash came charging towards Sokani at a faster rate than before. "Why do you even fight? Both of you answer." he asked his he flashstepped near Jake, "Strycer and Stricer, you two can take over, you guys need to practice your godmodding anyways, kidding." he said as he quickly transformed into Sasuke.

(Multi-formed. Let see how Striker likes it. Oh, Ichigo is the main guy, but I given him 2 other forms :3)

[The D.M.]

"Hmm...they're doing surprisingly well. But conditions are favorable at this point. I'd like to see how things go once the battle gets more one-sided. If you can manage that Daemon!" Taisen called out to the fighters. Chuckling to himself slightly at the jab he had made at Daemon. "Seriously though. Let's test every angle of the situation here." Taisen said as he took a drink of Monster. Of the many...many...MANY he keeps on his person at all times. Because he is a hopeless caffeine addict.

[Simping For Hina]

[color="#696969"]"Okay, I will go into that right now. What situation should I get him into, Taisen?" said Daemon as he sat down on the ground at the rim of the battlefield with Striker and Ichigo in Sasuke form were fighting. "Striker, you think you can handle the situations that are about to come? Do your best and actually think about it in every possible way, you have time to think for Ichigo has to type his plans out anyways." stated Daemon with the fight waiting to get to its boiling point.[/color]

[Nathanael D. Striker]

"How pathetic Ichigo," chuckled Sonaki as he flashstepped behind him. "I think it is time to end this if I do say so myself." Sonaki jumped into the air. He looked determined to end this fight, by any means necessary. That included his death.

"To the Lord above, I give you my thanks. The strength I receive is from you alone. My request is simple, save me from the evil. Give me the strength to continue on. Shi no mi ca ji noo!" Sokani unleashed his FES towards Ichigo and the Striker impersonators. The attack consisted of multiple chaos waves going towards his opponent at hurricane speed followed by a massive earthquake. The attack was so strong that Sokani fainted and reverted back into Striker; however, a light shield surrounded Striker protecting him as he recovered.

[The D.M.]

"Alright. He tends to reveal alot of his strategy in the way he types. But this is hardly a fault. I believe Striker can casually battle at this point. Now i want to see how he reacts when the battle begins to tilt against him. That's when most people resort to Godmodding. I want to know if he'll crack if any pressure is applied." Taisen leaned back in his chair and folded his hands over his mouth in a Gendo Ikari-esque pose "If he succeeds here then i'll be happy to report to everyone that the first round of tests have been resounding successes. Daemon. You know what to do."

[Simping For Hina]

Sasuke reverted back to Ichigo and fell onto a spike. A hole appeared where Ichigo's heart was and he rested there qith his eyes open, his mouth also opened and his sword laying on the ground. Ichigo was not breathing. People would assume he was dead, he took no new form as his body rested upon the rocky Spike.

[color="#808080"]"Striker is down and so is Ichigo. Striker better get up if he still wants to live, for he does not know what will happen to Ichigo while he is supposable death." said Daemon with his hands crossed while still sitting on the ground. [/color]

[Nathanael D. Striker]

Striker awoke slowly after hearing that Ichigo was down. He was sore all over his body, but he was still alive. "That was some attack," Striker said as he regained his strength.

He had scars over his chest still from his early mist defense, but he had acquired more scars around his wrists from Sokani's FES. "Daemon, what do you mean by 'what will happen to Ichigo while is supposable death'? Striker had a bad feeling at the pit of his stomach. He could think of 1 outcome; a godmod was going to happen by the hands of Ichigo. [i]So, the test begins now heh. Oh well, it isn't like I haven't dealt with things like this before,[/i] he thought as he prepared for the godmod.

[The D.M.]

Taisen glared at Striker. "Striker...Be aware that situations like this will occur outside training. You need to take what happens in these lessons to heart. And graft them onto your RPing element. At THAT point and that point alone will you be called an RPer and not a nuisance." Taisen stood up. "Daemon is about to fight you at full power. You must countermand his attacks for as long as you can manage but be very aware that he WILL be stronger. To what degree i don't know but he will be. This isn't to test your Anti-Godmod attitude. This is to test your attitude in a losing battle. Be aware of this and fight!"

[Simping For Hina]

[color="#C0C0C0"]"A godmod? No, just Ichigo's inner demon is coming out as we speak little boy. Now, you cannot godmod here, if you do, you are going to fight Taisen....if he agrees along with I so just enjoy the test this time and try to actually think about the subject again." said Daemon as he kept his eyes on Ichigo's body waiting for something to happen, waiting for his return into this fight to actually teach Striker the lessons for fighting in RP practices. "Look now. And pay attention, if you lose your focus, you will die in an instant."[/color]

Ichigo laid there on the spike, but his body was white and his hair was suddenly getting longer and a mask appeared on him with a new design than the other one and with spikes on the tip and a design in the color of blood red on his white muscular body in the shape of a spider symbol. The mask also covered his entire head, which the other did not. Ichigo took charge as Striker faster than light and his sword flew in his arm. "Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" he screamed while he was charging.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

"Oh s**t!" yelled Striker as he saw Ichigo's inner demon come out and play. "Things have gotten worse for me." Striker pulled out his sword and blocked Ichigo's attack and pushed Ichico away from him. "You aren't making this easy, and I respect that; however, how am I supposed to defeat a demon. Oh wait, I'm not."

The odds were enormously stacked against Striker. He wasn't fighting for fun anymore; he was fighting for his life. He was being tempted to use the SoJ that was still lying in its safe, but he resisted that urge for the time being. [i]How is it that I have to face strong RPers that want my head? I remember, it is my stupid ego![/i] he thought to himself.

[Simping For Hina]

[color="#C0C0C0"]"Striker, you do not know that you can't, you are just not looking at all the facts. Ichigo isn't making his moves so obvious in his posts, he is trying to get you to do that for yourself, even if you cannot think about it too much. You have time to think for your opponent can only wait for you to post." said Daemon as he kept his eyes turned to face Striker. [i]Striker isn't a thinker, he just takes actions into what he does. He would never beat Ichigo in this situation.[/i] Daemon thought. [/color]

Ichigo appeared right in front of Striker with his hand cuffed around Striker's neck, chocking him. Ichigo used Sonido to charge into the wall with Striker in his hand. Time only ticked a moment after, when the wall started to collapse. Striker was held up against the wall with nothing on the ground. Ichigo screamed again, "Errrrr" as his blade in his other hand flew up into the air into the direction of where Striker was held up. Ichigo's sword swung at lightning speed.

[The D.M.]

"ZA WARUDO!!!" In that next instant time froze. Taisen walked towards the two warriors. Both of whom could perceive Taisen through the frozen time. But could not move. "Striker. This is where you analyze the situations. And act utilizing the weapons and techniques at your disposal. A losing battle is not a Curb-Stomp Battle. You can counterattack! Know this. There is NEVER no way out. RPing is about knowing when to exploit your exits and powers. Not to win. Or even to make your opponent feel good. Or for humility. Rping is...A Story. The events and actions must line up to please the viewing audience. We are actors. Characters. Now let's see an interesting scene!!"

"Time Continues"

[Simping For Hina]

[color="#C0C0C0"]A knife flew into the battlefield, freezing both Striker and Ichigo to stop them from fighting and so that he could say, "Remember our first fight on this Club, I quit in the middle of the fight with you only having a simple knife in your leg, and I was really badly damaged. I could of continued, but I quit right in the middle of it." The knife was pulled back from the knife and Striker and Ichigo were not in a stuck position anymore and the fight could continue. "You may now continue it, go. Striker....do not think about your weapons you could get, but the abilities that you have. "[/color]

[The D.M.]

"I've lost battles with both Black and Jake...This wasn't because they were "More Powerful" so to speak. The very concept of Rping allows an individual to dictate his own powers, skills and weaponry. However. An invincible character does not make a good story!" Taisen donned his black Kamina Shades.

[b]Listen up Striker cuz I'm only gonna say this ONCE! EVER!! The fact of the matter is in the grand YCM RPing world we are all characters as individuals!! But as a collective we make up the audience!! You've undoubtedly noticed that my notoriety is FAR below Black, Jake, Andx and the others. That's cuz...The fact is i'm not a main character yet!! But I fight fair. I interact with everyone and i keep my dialogue epic, witty, funny or tragic and meaningful as the situation warrants!! We're all characters in the greatest damn show ever conceived!! The only way this show works at its finest however is if people know their role in the characters. As tooth grinding as it was coming here with nothing after being such a big-shot on other RP forums IT WAS HUMILIATING!! But i worked my way up! And now i can call myself a strong standing member of the cast!! We get to higher ranks by Following The Rules! By RPing With Respect and Dignity! By Interacting Respectfully To Our Brothers!! AND BY WORKING OUT THE BEST ENDING TO EVERY STORY WE CREATE!!! AND THAT'S RPING!! THAT'S WHO WE ARE!!! [/b]

now i want you and Daemon to show me a conclusion that has me applauding in my seat...

[Simping For Hina]

I can't say anything that sums that up.
Striker, I know a few ways out of this.....but you can only think about the way out of it.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

"Really?" uttered Striker. "Now you are irritating me Ichigo." Striker used all the strength he could garner to get Ichigo's hand off his throat. He then used the strength in his abs to himself on to a nearby ledge just as Ichigo's sword hit the wall. He took this time to lightning dash behind Ichigo.

"Good thing I do a bit of core exercise. If I hadn't, I would of been dead right there." Striker nodded as Taisen gave his speech. He knew that he had to risk it all for the show.

"Ichigo, this battle ends now. I call upon Omnus, the Dragon of the Elements!" Hearing Striker's call, a giant white dragon suddenly appeared. "When two forces fuse together; they bring out perfect harmony. It is time to bring out Shikonami!"

Striker's appearance turned into that of the ancient Elemental Warriors. Shikonami was Striker's last hope in this fight. He knew that he stood a better chance against Ichigo as Shikonami.

"Come at me with everything you got Ichigo!"

[Simping For Hina]

Striker, how did you use the strength of abs to equal the strength of a Demon that was choking you? You are technically a human so you need to breathe.....
