The sun was glistening over the sands of Hueco Mundo. Los Noches was busier then ever with rebuilding the grand castle. Taza was standing on top of a rather large block. He wore his regular set of clothes. A blue log coat, a white tee shirt under that, blue paints, and black shoes. Taza smiled as he watched the workers move about, he hadn’t seen Los Noches act so uniform, and so willing in over two thousand years. His left hand reached out, grabbing a glass. The water on the glass was cool and felt good against Taza’s hot hand. He glanced over the area once more before taking a long sip of the drink. “Ahh.” He exclaimed before looking at the glass. It was Ice tea, one of his personal favorites.
After a few minutes taza jumped down off the block. He put his hand on the hilt of his Zanpaku-to which sat on his hip. Taza slowly wondered the area surrounding Los Noches until he came across one of the people he despised most. “Sojukin, what a unpleasant surprise. Oh and your not killing anyone today! Is this your first time?” He said extremely sardonically. In Taza’s mind Sojukin was the embodiment of all things bad in the arrancar society, he was a power hungry murder. “Anyhow, I am particularly bored, nothing has been going on in quite a while. Would you care for a spar? Nothing fancy, no Zanpaku-tos, no powers. Just a good old fashion spar.”
He took a step back, predicting a rash reaction to his words. He had his hand on his Zanpaku-to just incase he pulled his. Taza was already in stance to counter any attack he attempted. He knew the mindless bastard wouldn’t say no, nor would not want to kill him even more after what he said. Taza knew just how to press his buttons, and he was going to, this was one of the few times he actually enjoyed pissing people off.

Sojukin looked down at the dos espada with little interest at the moment. He shrugged and felt slightly depressed over the fact that Reina hadn’t set up another ‘date’ with him. The arrancar let the wind blow through his hair and watching the strands sway like grain in a field; his mind was far away and his body had just made its recovery. He let his white coat blow freely in the wind and wondered about all the arrancar down below for a moment ; the rare moment of clarity probably would take Taza aback for a moment as Sojukin sat down beside him for a moment. Putting his hands between his knees and enjoying the feeling of warmth that came from the stone, Sojukin stares out into the infinite sky of Hueco Mundo. His eyes were misted over a little so the natural icy blue was becoming more or a grey.
“Sojukin, what a unpleasant surprise. Oh and your not killing anyone today! Is this your first time?” He said extremely sardonically. In Taza’s mind Sojukin was the embodiment of all things bad in the arrancar society, he was a power hungry murder. “Anyhow, I am particularly bored, nothing has been going on in quite a while. Would you care for a spar? Nothing fancy, no Zanpaku-tos, no powers. Just a good old fashion spar.”
“Taza….I always wonder…on days like today, what its all about…Each passing moment, each grain of sand that flows out of my hour glass into the infinite desert that we call our home. Are we meant to be nothing more than pawns in some God’s master plan till we die or are we meant for more? Will we one day be at Death’s level…or are we doomed to the obscurity of his shadow? What is it about really? Who put us here and for what reason? Its almost like we’re all just some actors; I kinda feel like a puppet sometimes and my strings are getting jerked around by some invisible hand.”
Sojukin had ignored his insults and he stood back up, dusting the seat of his pants and knees. He turned to Taza and nodded a little not the least bit angry. He took a step back and started to walk away toward a cleared off area.
“Sure, I’ll spar with you. A little combat will take my mind off things and I can go back to being my lovable, psychotic self.”

Taza went from puzzled when Sojukin didn’t answer angrily to full blown shock. He pointed at him while his eyes seemed to swell out of there sockets. His mouth was wide open and he couldn’t help but take a few steps back. It took him a while to collect himself before saying. “Well… I don’t know Sojukin… The truth is I don’t think we will become as powerful as Death, I have been trying to for over five thousand years. And I am no closer to being able to beat him then I was the day I met him when he took everything from me..”
He shook his head after Sojukin’s next statement. “I don’t think I would use the word ‘loveable.’ More like…evil?” He said with a grin as he threw his Zanpaku-to to the ground. He grinned he waited for Sojukin to make his move.

“By the way Taza, you might wanna put your tongue back in your mouth. Me speaking on calm terms is just a manifestation of my previous encounter with a particular female vasto. This abstract and quite altered version of myself should be suppressed after combat starts. Anyway, are you ready Old timer? Let us begin this mad dance of carnage.”
Sojukin looked around him for a moment, laying his robes down on a near by bench along with his zanpakuto; he began some breathing exercises right after this. Finding his center; his insanity once again emerged and pounced upon Taza like a feral cat. This of course took place after Taza had prepared himself, Sojukin’s sane side had made sure of that. That familiar wicked grin crept back onto his face as he slashed down with his fingers at Taza’s face, before pulling them away at the last second and sweeping at his legs. His entire body tensed up like a panther’s ready to strike and counter.
“WE ARE MEANT TO GAIN POWER FOR OURSELVES!!! WE ARE HERE TO GROW STRONG, TO BE POWERFUL AND TO TRUIMPH OVER THE INDOMITABLE ODDS! IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE YOU CAN’T SURPASS DEATH, THEN YOU NEVER WILL TAZA! NOW FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN OR ARE YOU TOO OLD!?”

Taza smiled and said. “I had a battle with a vostro lorde last week myself. She was a real bitch.. Wrecked my whole trip to the human world she did.” His eyes became like pen needles as he watched Sojukin attack him. The world seemed to slow down. It was one of Taza’s gifts. He rolled to Sojukin’s left before saying. “Then I shall become more powerful then death and bring peace to all of Hueco Mundo! I will become stronger then any other!” As he said this Sojukin went into a kick. He jumped into the air, turning to the side before kicking at sojukin’s head. As Sojukin’s leg passed underneath him he put his hand on the ground and kicked at his chest with his other leg. He then pushed off the ground, going above Sojukin, and punching at his face. “Come on kid! Is this all you’ve got? How will you ever touch Death or any of the Horror Vacui if you cant touch me!”

Sojukin twisted his neck, taking the blow with a grunt before locking Taza’s leg there with his neck and one of his arms. His body wavered for a moment as the second kick came at his chest; he barely managed to wrap his arm around it as it hammered into his chest. The result of this pushed him back; however he managed to keep his grip and twisting his body he hoped to have Taza’s head drag along the masonry of Hueco Mundo. He twisted around in a semi circle with Taza afterwards and entered into a flip hoping to stomp down on his opponents chest, then release his legs.
“Theres more to combat than merely ‘touching’ Taza; you should know this and you should also know I’m one of the best here at Hand to Hand combat.”
Sojukin grinned afterwards and readied himself for retaliation.

Taza looked in shock. He didn’t expect Sojukin to use such techniques. Anyway it mattered little to him, he just needed to rethink his strategy. “shit.” He said as Sojukin dragged him across the ground. As Sojukin jumped into the air taza used his legs to push Sojukin into a wall. He jumped up taking a stance. He slowly circled around Sojukin, studying him for a weakness. “You may have a point there Sojukin. And you should know that I am also one of the best at hand to hand.”
Only I have never faced you, or seen you fight before. Damn this could be bad. He thought to himself before sending a few punches Sojukins way. They where quick and aimed at his chest area. He then attempted to knee him in the ribs before punching at his face.

Sojukin grinned as he was shoved away at the wall and extended his hands, doing a cartwheel into the wall. He grins psychotically at Taza as he stayed there moving over the wall like some sort of odd panther. Moving down to the ground, he kept his hands on the ground continuing to move as he was. He was awaiting patiently for each blow that Taza threw at him, analyzing his fighting style while at the same time changing his to better benefit himself.
“Well…we’re both ‘Espada’ level so wouldn't we automatically be the best at most things? I mean isn’t that basically the point of being an Espada? It’s a mark of recognition for being all around better than the other arrancar and having a vast amount of spiritual pressure. So, technically there would be no reason for our statements unless we stated out of the Espada.”
Sojukin said this flatly while thrusting his body up over Taza’s knee and took the punch on his shoulder. Grunting from the blow he goes to grasp around his leg, then proceeds to crawl around on his body like a monkey and strike at his kidneys and other vital points; his hope is to wrap himself around Taza’s body where he can then rain blows upon his back, neck, kidneys and calves.

Taza smiled and said. “Point taken.” He fallowed him to the ground before kicking at him only to have Sojukin grab his leg and crawl up him like as if he was a tree and Sojukin a snake. As he wrapped himself around Taza he started to attack his vital points. Quickly Taza grasped both of Sojukin’s hands holding them tightly so he couldn’t move them anymore. He then jumped back and used a Soindo to send them threw the wall. Sojukin took the blow first. Taza kept going and eventually they where on the other side of Los noches and with another Soindo he sent Sojukin right into a giant cinder block. He let him go and grabbed Sojukin by the neck to pull himself out of his grip. He then proceeded to fly into the air. “For the record, I made that statement as out of the entire Espada.”

Sojukin coughed as the dust cleared about them and his body went mildly limp in Taza’s hand; though when the haze cleared he was grinning at him, his eyes defiant. The indomitable flames inside of them burning furiously ready to force all around him to their knees with their unfailing gaze. Just as Taza was about to let go, Sojukin used his own sonido on only his legs bringing them up rapidly and wrapping them around Taza’s arm and neck before gripping his wrist and hand with his one forcing his entire body backwards into an arm bar, hoping to drag them down to the ground.
“For the record, I made that statement as out of the entire Espada.”
“How arrogant.”

Taza smiled before moving his left hand and grabbed his shirt. He pulled Sojukin to his chest. HE grinned as he created a Soindo. He quickly sent them to the ground, smashing sojukin into the ground first causing him to losen his grip which allowed Taza to slip out of his grip. The move wasnt without its cost. The move had broken one of his ribs against Sojukin's leg. But the move probobly dislocated or broke Sojukin's leg. "Maybe.." He said with a cough. He took his stance and looked at Sojukin waiting for his next move.

Sojukin coughed his body aching from the effects of being slammed, he had broke two of his ribs and the soreness over his body was beginning to take effect. Sojukin moved slowly gathering up his strength and pushing his arms backwards to allow himself enough leverage to rise from his current position. The ethereal and physical pain was excorticating and he groaned in remorseful agony as he moved. He looked up toward Taza with a fierce fire of hate and ill repute in his eyes. As the pain settled he shook out his body letting all the bones and muscles pop and creak till all of them had. He let his body relax after that and activated sonido coming up behind Taza swinging his fist around toward his temple as a faint, then swung his other leg out letting the momentum carry him around in a full circle as he aim for Taza’s guts. He smiled he had prepared himself to be caught. “You really should be more humble Taza, arrogance what get you too far.”
His body twitched and the pain returned as the words left his mouth; almost as if some Irony God was punishing him for them. He sneered at the pain and ignored it continuing his attack, focusing only on smashing Taza’s face in till he entered an almost Zen like state. The pain vanished from him and he only had his rage to fuel him onward against Taza. The intricacies of the battle and the contrast between the two growing every minute along side Sojukin’s rage.

Taza grinned as he ducked under Sojukin’s fist. As his leg almost connected with him Taza entered a Soindo. He instantly circled behind sojukin as he said. “Like your one to talk.” He lifted his leg, and went for a kick to the head. The only difference, he was still in Soindo. Using the speed of soindo, he would then move in front of Sojukin and attempt to knee him in the gut before making a powerful blow at his left temple.

Sojukin looked at Taza as he charged forward and hooked his leg around his arm pulling himself up as Taza dislocated his jaw with the blow and Sojukin was flung backwards. He stood there for a moment and held his dismembered jaw in his hand for moment placing the other hand against his right temple and popped it back into place, then stretched it around. “Nice punch, by the way…Your Mother.” He said cracking his knuckles and shaking his body out as he moved forward and limbered himself up to strike.

As his blow connected taza jumped backwards before landing softly on the sand. He bent one leg and extended another before raising his hands towards Sojukin. A grin split across his lips as he listened to Sojukin. He let out a slight chuckle before saying. "Oh Sojukin, out of all the comebacks? 'Your Mother?' That is pretty pathetic. Like i give a rats ass about that hoe. But come on, lets finish this shall we?"
