The OOC thread is here:
Soul Society's Demise (Bleach RP) (OOC)
Please read EVERYTHING in the first post by me and also briefly skim through any other character sheets you see in there. overkill and Oblivian, I have updated some things about my character such as his bankai ability and I have also added some new things to the standard character sheet. So if you two could go through and add the new things to your character sheets, that'd be great.

Alex led part of squad 11, who wasn't busy on patrol, into a cave and said:"As you all know Captain Riku is busy at the moment; so it is my job to take his place, for the time being. Riku has informed me that he wanted you guys to train, so pair up and fight until you're too tired to fight anymore." Alex sat, watched, and waited as the members fought against one another.

[[ For my character's personality, I'm kinda going for a cross of Byakuya's calmness and coolness and Aizen's nice and caring personality ]]

"Yes, I realize that this is an escalating issue, and when the time comes, I assure you that 11th squad and I will be prepared to deal with it." Riku told Yamamoto. Yamamoto simply grunted and nodded at Riku, implying that he was dismissed. Riku bowed and turned and left the room.

Riku approached the cave. The loud clanging of swords colliding could be heard echoing out of 11th squad's famous training grounds. Riku simply smiled and entered the cave. "How's the training going?" Riku asked Alex, leaning close to him. Riku braced for a yelp, as Riku's light footing made it hard to hear him, so he often ended up accidentally scaring people.

Alex continued to watch the others train and fight, but when Riku talked behind him Alex instinctively distanced himself and drew his blade. However, when he realized it was only his captain Alex sheathed his blade, walked up to his captain and said:"Well, they seem to be doing quite well, they lack experience but that's to be expected." Alex smirked and said:"Maybe we should show them how it's done."

Riku smiled brightly and nodded. "Good idea." He said in a delighted tone. His right hand slowly rested upon the hilt of his blade, though he didn't unsheathe it. Instead, he kept his hand on the hilt and crouched his body into a more suitable attack position. His face calmed and got much more serious. "Think you can finally beat me?" He asked his Lieutenant in a slightly mocking tone.

Riku kept his hand on his blade, but immediately snapped his attention to the one who killed the Shinigami. In seconds, five 11th squad members surrounded him, all their blades angling different ways around his neck. "Who are you?" Riku called out to him

"Damn it! I could've beaten the captain this time, and maybe usurp him." Alex mumbled as he drew his blade, walking towards the arrancar saying:"Know your place! This is Shinigami territory, you are just outside of the Seratei, if you want territory go back to Heuco Mundo!" Alex braced for combat as he said:"Dageki Kogane Junsei!"
[[Dageki Kogane Junsei means: Strike Golden Purifier. I just wanted to be more creative in referring to a lightening strike.]]

As Alex stepped forward to swing again, Riku held out his arm in front of him. "Wait a second." He said to him, drawing his own blade. Riku's face couldn't have been calmer. He held his blade to the side. "Rokai." He said as his blade started to change shape. The silver blade split into two and black steel twisted and wrapped around the blade. Riku swung the blade in front of him and grabbed it with both hands. "You have no place in the Soul Society. I will kill you and send you back to where you belong."

Alex took a moment as he stood in awe of his captains new "Rokai" but he soon recovered saying:"Well if captain has a so called:"Rokai", I guess there's no need to hide this! Bankai!" Alex's sword transformed once again into it's bankai form, He then waited for Riku and the Stranger to engage in battle so he could make his strike. While he waited Alex thought:"Damn, captain raised the bar again, now I'm gonna have to train myself to death just to be within striking distance of this "Rokai". What's more is it took me forever just to master bankai."

Riku's face remains calm as he simply slashes at the two waves and cuts them directly in half. "A demon like you could never reach my power. No one else has ever even come CLOSE to Rokai, or my level of power for that matter!" Riku disappears and reappears behind the stranger almost three times as fast as flash step. "Someone like you could never achieve such feats." He whispers into the stranger's ear as he slashes downwards very quickly.

The few members of 11th squad that were left in the cave managed to either block or dodge the on coming attacks. "Everyone out of here, NOW!" Riku shouted at them. The men turned and ran out of the cave, leaving Riku and Alex with the stranger. "You might take a little more work than I expected." Riku said, putting his hand up to his forehead. He pulled his hand down and a mask appeared on his face. The white part of his eyes turned black as the colored part turned neon white.

Alex held his ground waiting for the perfect moment to strike. As he did he thought about the situation at hand, especially his captain being a Vizard. Alex thought:"Damn, now I'll never reach his level, Rokai and Vizard, if this keeps up I'll have to use cheaper tactics than normal." When Alex noticed the Strange Vizard had been unnerved about his captain being Vizard he took that moment to strike. Alex quickly Shunpo'd around the Vizard saying:"Drop your guard again and you'll be dead." As he said this he made several consecutive slashes at the Vizard.

[[I'm just gonna refer to yours as vizard and Riku's as Captain or Riku or any combination.]]
"My foot it ain't!" ,Alex said, before sanding back and charging his blade. While charging his blade Alex thought:"I need to get out of here. I need to train until I can't even stand, but first I've gotta finish this Vizard off!" When he finished his train of thought Alex's blade had charged to a point it'd at least temporarily cripple the vizard. He discharged it pointing it towards the stranger saying:"you have no clue what you're getting into!"
