Anaklusmos was angered at the way this "shinagami" said her name...it simpy ticked her off, the condensending tone. She growled, then lurch forward, going in for the attack when her foe struck, stabbing out in a thrust. She recoiled slightly, rolling in midair as the blade shot by, a near miss. However, her airial dodge cost her, as she was unable to go in for the attack, shooting past him. However, he seemed to continue his attack, leaping back and releasing more projectiles from his sword. She shot her hand out, letting the blade catch the side a small support beam of the bridge, whipping her around to dodge some of the shots as her back was turned to Zhiel. However, they all missed as they came from every direction, digging into the surfaces they hit. Anaklusmos thought of this as foolhardy when she heard her foe start a destruction chant. She turned, her eyes trained on him as she saw his hand held out, and suddenly the kidou burst out, a shot of red flame that would engulf her had she remained still. However, Anaklusmos reacted instantly, holding out her hand and flicking out her middle three fingers, shooting off Bala shots.
The Bala's did their job, dividing the flame as it would have hit Ana. The Kido divided around her, totally missing her as it started to burn around her, the flames giving the Arrancar an eerie look as she gave way to a malevolent grin.
"Well, well...someone has fangs on them," Anaklusmos remarked, before launching forward. She jumped towards the ceiling of the bridge in a flip, her feet landing for only a moment before she launched herself at him, one arm out to cut him up, the other held back as energy gathered up at it....

Kehiel had hoped his attack to have some effect atleast, but all it served was to show how weak Azerin's Kido was. 'Grr... Worthless Shinigami' He thought as he watched the arrancar launch herself at the underside of the bridge similiar to how Azerin had not long ago. 'Does she not think I was watching the battle? What a fool.' He thought as he raised Hitozarai with its tip aimed towards her, however when she pushed away against the stone surface the first thing he took note off was how energy started gathering in her left hand. 'Cero? If I had more controll I could counter with my own... Curse this feeble body' Kehiel thought, this situation was so annoying, if he had just had his old power this girl would not have stood a chance, yet now he was fighting for his very life. Pathetic... 'Keh... I will show her!' He thought angered as he leapt from his spot towards the arrancar, half-way he swung Hitozarai to intercept the Arrancars own blade, only holding it in his right hand, as he attempted to catch the arrancars left hand in his own, he was going to use his protective shell on the hand to nullify it, of course he was also pushing reiatsu into it to strengthen the defenses, it was a cero after all. If this went awry it could mean the end of the battle for Kehiel, if it went the way he thought it would be a stalemate as he was very confident in his own strength, and if it went in his favor the cero would backlash at Ana, unlikely but possible. OOC: All up to you  ((I'm assuming it is a cero that she is charging up, as an arrancar charging energy is the most tell-tale sign of a cero, if not I appologize and will edit the post upon notification)) |

Ana met Zheil's alter ego's blow, her arm blade locking with his shikai. However, she lost her grin as he reached for her Cero-charging hand, and she tried to pull back. However, her arm blade snagged on his sword , and she ended up whipping around, her Cero loosing and blasting off, completely destroying the bridge as it hit the roof.
"Oh shi-"
Anaklusmos used Sonido, the electric friction sound giving off as she appeared in the sky above the rubble of the bridge as it was collapsing in on itself, leaving her to wonder if the Shinagami got out. Damn fool, ruining my Cero.....

In a sense, his attempt to foil the arrancars attack had worked, but it had not gone as he had wanted when the arrancar pulled her arm away, making him unable to close his hand around hers to block the cero from leaving.
The end result was bad, as he watched the cero hit the bridge above them he cursed in his mind at the same time as the arrancar let out a curse of her own, however she disappeared, using sonido to get out of the way of the rubble. Azerin had yet to learn shunpo, and as they were in the air shadow walk would not work, and with the rubble comming down upon him he had to act quick.
As a particularily large piece of the bridge came falling down towards him Kehiel spun around so he was nearly upside down before he raised his left hand towards the large debris "Destruction Art number One, Thrust..." And as he did an invisible force pushed the rubble slightly upwards, slowing its fall considerably, and just then he put his feet on its surface, taking a slight moment to locate the arrancars location before pushing away with all strength he could muster, sending the piece of debris flying straight for the hole created by the cero, aimed at Ana's location.
As he pushed the bridge piece away he was also sent flying, however much faster than any of the other rubble that had been falling from the bridge as he spun around once more, aligning himself with the ground, and as he hit he began to slide over the grass for a few meters before digging Hitozarai into the ground, making his sliding come to a halt.
He did not waste any time however as he quickly pulled the blade out as he jumped up, over the edge of the bridge and landing on the railing(?) as he looked towards the arrancar, that same crazed grin crept up on his face once more, although there seemed to have just then formed a small white mark just to the side of his left eye, similiar to the material covering his hand. 'I am unsure wheter I can win this battle in the condition I am in, but I will not cover for a mere arrancar!' He thought, a fiece glow entering his golden eyes.

Anaklusmos had recieved a shock when, instead of all the rubble falling downwards like it should have, a large chunk was shot upwards, flying at her at a rapid speed. She didn't understand; gravity dictated that objects fall DOWN and not rocketing upwards. Anaklusmos, lost in her thoughts, almost forgot that she had to DEAL with the fact that it was going to hit her. She raised her hands to lock her wrist blades into an X-formation, then slashed downwards right as the rock was going to hit her.
To her shinagami foe, it might have appeared that the rock had stopped in midair. However, in reality, Anaklusmos's arm blads had cut into it, locking in. As she pulled her arms away, the rock fell, showing her with a grin, staring down her prey, her red eyes meeting his golden ones.
"Well.....isn't this fun....."
Anaklusmos slowly hovered down from where she was, onto the other side of the bridge's remains. She was standing there, her arms by her sides, her feet on their tips. She was waiting, aprrehensive, feeling that the end of the battle was near. She cocked her head back, looking at Zhiel with malevolence.
"But let's rap this up, eh?" Ana said, bursting forth an immense blast of reiatsu. She had pure bloodlust intwined with her own spiritual energy.

"Hah! Your mentality is still nothing higher than that of a simple Hollow, and yet you've lowered yourself to being a mockery of the shinigami." Kehiel exclaimed, his crazed grin complimenting Ana's bloodlust with his own, as his blue reiatsu burst forth, although unlike Azerins own the edges was now a glowing darkness. "Very well, lets end this." He then said as he aligned the sword to his side, as he moved it up slowly and in the end held it right above his right shoulder. While this stance obviously had openings, it would also make the blows from the sword heavier, it was similiar to the "one-hit-kill" stance of some Samurai in japans history. 'Lets see how she handles this.' He thought as he launched from the railing, right inbetween a bunch of carwrecks going directly for Ana.
Then as he got within striking range he began to swing the large sword with both hands, however mid-swing he let go off it with his left hand swiftly, even before the sword would reach its mark he thrust forward with his left arm, using the claws on it as a weapon. However that was not all to this attack, because if Ana decided to guard the sword, he would release all teeth that was not in direct contact with her own arm blade, if she stood her ground there was no way she would not take any hit, of course in return she might counter it, but he could not win this without taking risks.

Anaklusmos stood still, like an imposing sentinal, as Kehiel released some reiatsu, then reform his stance, resuming to use one of risk. It would increase his power and speed to his blows, but there were several openings. Anaklusmos doubled over, one arm blade above her head, the other hand on the ground. as the shinagami charged her, she leaped forward, matching his assault.
As her foe brought his blade around, she raised her left arm blade to block it. However, he feinted for a second, lashing out with his claw arm before the blade reached her. Anaklusmos, rolled her shoulder back, moving her body to the right slightly, as the claws tipped her shoulder slightly. She then caught his sword arm with her left arm blade, thinking that his attack was simple to dodge. However, the shinagami released all of the blade's teeth, and the shot out at close range. Anaklusmos was unable to do too much of anything except lurch backwards. she was hit by 5 of the teeth directly, as they were stuck in her body armor, blood slightly oozing out of the wounds they made. The rest that hit her merely scraped or deflected off, causing little injury at all. Anaklusmos stopped herself in a backflip, landing on the side of an overturned car. She pushed off on it, sending herself towards her shinagami foe. Halfway there, she pivited, making herself spin at a high rate, like a corkscrew to inflict damage unto her foe.

Kehiels lips grew into a grin once more when the arrancar charged at him, barely dodging his left hands thrust, but most of all, she attempted to block his sword. With perfect timing the teeth of the blade was released merely a moment before the two edges collided with each others. Had it been Azerin he would not have been able to execute it with such perfection, but Kehiel litelarilly one thousand times more experience than him. Kehiel had not expected any major effects by the teeth, but the results they did was good, unless they hit directly, like now, they were more or less useless, but any hit count in the long run. He had more or less only sustained blunt damage, meaning he wouldent die from bloodloss, the arrancar on the other hand should be starting to feel the effects soon enough.
However in his glee he had not really taken into account how the arrancar would most likely counterattack, which she did mere moments later, having leapt off a car and was now heading straight at him while spinning like if in a frenzy. He himself was still in the air, her blocking his attack had caused him to lose all momentum he had had, gritting his teeth in irritation Kehiel swiftly whipped Hitozarai towards himself, causing all the teeth of the blade to return, then at the same time he moved the sword up on chest level, holding the upper end of it with his left hand. Kehiel's feet touched the solid ground of the bridge mere moments before the arrancar came at him with the full force of her spin, leaving him with barely no time to ready himself for it.
With his sword raised defensively and his feet planted against the ground it seemed like it could end up as a stalemate when Ana hit his swords flat side with her spin, however a second later Kehiel was pushed backwards by the force of the attack, then a moment later his grip on the floor failed him and he was sent flying backwards straight into the bridges railing, causing yet another cloud of dust and debris to fly outwards. When it cleared a few seconds later Kehiel was standing, lurched forward and supporting himself with Hitozarai which was held towards the ground. His clothing had been nearly completely ripped appart, showing parts of the cracked carapace covering his chests left side, and that which covered his right kneecap. "Hsss... I will not... Lose... To a mere... Arrancar!" He hissed through clenched teeth, as red energy began gathering in his left hand, however anyone could tell the energy was unstable, uncontrolled. It was just as likely to disipate as it was to implode, Kehiel was either desperate to win, or too mad to realize it.
OOC: Sorry for the time it took, got busy with a bunch of stuff over this weekend.

After Anaklusmos being forced into a split second stop from the shinagami blocking her attack, her momentum and force pulled through, knocking him back into the bridge railing with the force of a bucking bronto. as a cloud of debris emitted from the rubble. Anaklusmos straightend up were she was standing, a small wind blowing her hair slightly. She took notice of how the damage Kehiel had taken was showing that he was more and more hollow than she had originally thought. He had white carapace and his aura was filled with evil intent. But, then she realized it wasn't his intent, it was energy, building up into an unstable focus on his hands. Not good.
Anaklusmos grinned. So, he was able to gets some power to his attacks as well, huh? Anaklusoms began building up her own energy into both her hands as the overlapped in front of her. She kicked off from the ground, now into mid air, the power for her Cero almost built up. Hopefully, in time to match Kehiels....

OOC: Awesome comback number 1338! shit, missed a number.
With nearly his full focus on maintaining the unstable cero in his left hand Kehiel did not notice how Anaklusmos was gathering energy herself until she had jumped off into the air. Snapping his head in her direction he could tell that it was no normal cero she was charging, his many years of experience had made him understand the complete structure of all generic hollow powers such as cero or bala. Although her attack was definitely related, it held different properties, most likely her own unique cero, similiar to how he had his own, even if he could not utilize its true powers yet.
He had almost gathered enough energy to his hand for the cero to become complete, but he could feel how his control on it began to slip, he needed just a little more time... However it was the that Anaklusmos fired her own cero towards him, shortly after leaving her hands the red energy taking the shape of a massive shark maw. 'Crap... I wont make it...' He thought, knowing it was now or never he raised his hand towards the incomming cero as he fired his own, the energy seemingly causing a minor explosion in his hand, sending him to the ground with a grunt, but the energy continued forward, entering the open jaw of Ana's cero, its edges burning with a black energy that reeked of decay as it seemed to rip a hole in the larger cero and continue unhindered towards Ana.
Kehiel couldent help but smirk at how successfull his cero had been, even if it was not perfect it held some of the qualities of his true cero, which was why it had been able to pierce the arrancars one, however the larger cero was still heading his way, and he had no way of avoiding it now. Gathering the remainder of his reiatsu Kehiel focused it all into his very flesh, to try and mimic the hardened skin of most hollow, however the shinigami were too similiar to humans to do it successfully. Then the cero came down upon him, biting down on the ground around him before engulfing him in a shower of red energy that tore on his body as his echoing voice screamed out in pain. Once the dust from the cero had settled Kehiel had falled down from the bridge, onto a pile of rubble that had been caused by the cero. Though he was breathing it seemed he was either unconcious, or too damaged to be able to move.

As the SharkJaw cero left her hands Anaklusmos was shuddered back a little bit, from the impact of her own force. Newton's 3rd Law was in effect there - Reactions of Actions and such. She saw him fire off his own cero, which had an odd quality to it. It was still insignificant to her own, of course. At least....it was, before bulldogging it's way through hers. That was just harsh! Tearing into it like water on paper, then continuing it's shaky path towards her. She might have dodged any other time but still, her ego was getting the best of her. Instead of a simple Sonido to the side she curled her arm blades in, covering them with reiatsu and bracing herself.
The cero hammered her like nothing she could remember. It lacked force and power like many ceros, but damn this one BURNED. She was knocked backwards in the air as it sizzled through her energy and into the steel skin of her arm blades. Well, they might as well have been marshmellows with a lighter since then were slowly devoured. The panic in her eyes was astounding, and she feared it would chew right through her. Her, the Numeros Doce! She shouldn't have had this problem with this guy. Not even a psuedo vasto lorde...then it hit her. This guy...if he had his original vessel, she'd be dead.
Luckily the cero burned out as it cut through her left hand blade, her right one a meer stump of it's former deadliness. Anaklusmos flexed her hands silently, as if checking to see if she was okay. She glanced down at the shinagami, out cold. She could finish him now! She could...
..but she wouldn't. Something inside her - fear - told her that it wouldn't work, it would just make her regret being born. She took a step backwards in air, then slowly created a garganta, slipping through it with one last look at her former foe. She shuddered...what would this one cause next time they met? She decided on the simple answer.
She'd avoid meeting him ever again.
