Paris, France : Dance to my tune, the opera of death {Claire and Michael friendly meet}

As the zanpakuto was thrown, the hollow had an idea, but it had to loose a leg just to evade the attack completely, as it jumped of the ground headed towards the shinigami who now had no zanpakuto, it opened its mouth as to release a cero using all of its reiatsu.

Claire couldn't be more pleased with the turn of events, despite the fact of missing her real target, her superiors should be more than pleased with the human calamity. It was then that the beam of light broke like shards of broken glass falling of one after the other, she had a childish grin giggling. "That was fun, but i wouldn't have done anything even if you just left me here you know." she yelled from not so far, with a somewhat cheerful tune. "You'll regret doing that." with the same tune she finished.

Michael sees the red light being formed, Michael shunpoes behind the hollow and dodges the attack, His sword spins back around like a boomerang and is caught in Michaels hands, Michael has an angry look on his face, He spins his blade around and slices off the remaining leg of the hollow, He jumps up behind the hollow and stabs it in the back, just before the hollow dissaperes he manages to grab its head with his two large arms, He begins to move it about and then you hear a crack and a twist, Michael rips off the hollows head, making the whole thing pour out with blood that then spills on him also. He throws the head to the side and backflips off the hollow grabbing his Zanpaktou on the way down. He then pants heavily and regains his breath. He looks over to clair and then begins to walk back at a normal pace, that way he gains his breath back and can focus more, he looked at clair and jumped up to were she was. He was now 10ft away from clair staring at her while he grabs hold of his sword with a mean look on his face.

The effect of kido was now completely gone, with a wide grin she clapped her hands in sheer amusement. "That was fun, wasnt it?" Claire asked as she crushed a card which was already on her right hand, it then turned into a revolver.


"Wanna see something cooler?" she asked playfully toying with the revolver as if it was a toy gun, with her eyes blankly focused onto him, she rested the revolver over her right temple and pulled the trigger. The bullet went through her head, that if it was a sword, it would've been a clean cut.
She fell quick like a log, and dropped like a corpse, her blood flooding her area of fall, nothing was happening, she was dead.

"What the !@%$#%@ Just happend!"

He grabs hold of his Zanpaktou and approuches the body, He pokes it slightly with his Zanpaktou to see if anything was happenin to it.

"Is she dead or is this another one of her tricks!"

Lifeless, the arrancar's corpse was laying on the ground, cold and dead, her blood was pouring all over, and it was only spreading more over as he poked her dead body.

"hmm.. Damnit.. well looks like I got a trophy.."

He takes out a camera and takes a picture of it, he then takes out a bag and begins to chop her head off, slicing into the neck he goes in deeper and deeper.

"Whats strange is why isnt she dissapering??"

The head just as easily popped off like a barbie dolls head, it was Claire's head, but something was odd about it indeed. The right eye eye-patch flew off revealing where her hollow hole was located, but as the eye patch flew away, dark purplish smoke started to engulf the area as th head it's self alone began melting to something of a sticky liquid substance of crimson like color.

"Oh.. !@%$#%@"

Michael sends his blade into the body and then grabs hold of it.

"A decoy.."

He threw the body of the ledge and then stood in the center placing both Zanpaktous across him standing in a defensive position, he went down on one knee and then looked about at the purple smoke.

"Not a decoy." a voice from the fog rose, the tone was different, as if it wasnt Claire at all, something else perhaps. "Something you should protect in fact.", as the fog emerged, a lone figure of a girl which looked nothing like Claire did, stood, her left eye engulfed with blue flames.

Spoiler:

"You... tell me, what era is it?" she asked, uncertain of where she was or what time and day it was, she actually looked quite lost.

Michael spun his blade around and held onto it tightly looking at her thinking
"So this must be her release form.."

"Who are you! an Arrancar? Or An Arrancar in release form!?"

"I asked a question first." She sighed, finding the shinigami a bit rude. "Well, im not sure why i was summoned here, but, you didn't happen to be fighting a weird arrancar girl with a broom, are you?"

He keeps a tight grip on his Blade.

"Yes I was... She shot her self purple smoke came along and then you appeared."

"That explains it then." Coldly she say as she held up her left hand as it somewhat morphed a bazooka type cannon from her skin, by looks, the gun is definitely heavier than her small body frame, but she just as easily lifted it up and aimed it towards the shinigami and fired a blue ball of energy similar to a cero, but more compact, apparently, stronger than anything Claire has ever shot before.

"Woah what the!"

Michael dives out of the way as the ball crashes where he was standing. He could see that this person was strong but he dident know how strong.. He decided to get her annoyed.

"Hey remember when You asked what era it was... I apologise for not responding.. I dident have an answer then.. But now I do.. Its the era were you Kiss my Shinigami A$$"


He shouts the last words to her, in hope that she would get annoyed.

Claire turned away, feeling ashamed all of the sudden, he didnt think the guy was serious at all that it somewhat killed her intent to do real damage. She sighed and turned back to him to shoot two more this time a bit faster.

"Oh c'mon. Don't tell me that hurt you! An espada like you!"

He roles out of the way and gets skimmed by one of them, He spins his blades around and fires three electric balls at her.

She sighed a few more times, actually, 5 to be exact, its not that he was hurt by him or anything, it was more like ashamed to be seen with someone who would say such low things.

Seeing 3 electric balls headed towards her, she needn't move a muscle as 3 medium sized chains which looked like serpents, sprouted from the ground and blocked the 3 attacks.

"...."

Michael saw his attack her blocked and destroyed. He raised his hand to the sky and braught down a small thunderstorm around her, He needed a closer look he needed to analyze this one more time to see what would happen if he attacked her. He charged towards her preparing to jump slice her chest, seeing if it would get blocked once again.

Claire got distracted by the thunder storm and looked away, but her chain serpent defense was still up and like it was connected to her body, it anticipated the attack and protected her in a small dome like defense going all around her.

Michael's attack was blocked and he was sent back slightly. He gets up from the floor and tries to think how he could get past her defence and attack her. He began to think he dident know if this would work he began to raise his spiritual pressure seeing if it made any effect and began to send random slashes towards where her sheild usually appeared.

The defense was perfect, no real way to penetrate through how ever it shows gaps ever here and there it being a condensed wall of chains and all, however, Claire wasnt just gonna sit and wait on it to break loose poking out what looked like the bazzoka gun she had, she started firing randomly around the area.

"Oh crap!"

Michael gets hit by several of the bazzoka shots, he gets sent back and slides across the ground. He gets up after being hit, panting heavily. He then looks up at her and then says to himself.

"I really dident want to do this.. but if its the only way to take this woman down then urghh..."

He raises his hands to the sky holding his blades up, he then shouts out.

"Bankai: Tormenta Despierta"

A large combination of wind and electricty surrounds him, his body is raised to the skys and his spiritual pressure shoots up and raises to that of a talented captain level riatsu. Michaels body enhances and is well developed, his hair growns and his muscles enlargen by alot, he looks more beastfull and he grows taller, to stand at 6ft5. His two Zanpaktou combine and turn into a large hammer that has an axe on the other side, Michael grabs hold of this large heavy hammer with his two hands. He has a large electrical current orbiting him and his weapon and rain begins to fall apon the whole area, Michael lands back onto the floor on his feet and stands there like a beast holding his large hammer as the rain falls on him.

Spoiler:

Sensing the enemies light retreat, she recalls the chains and backs a few feet away, the shinigami somewhat released his bankai and now looked a bit differently, larger in fact, but it's something that didn't surprise her, after all, he was of high rank.

She patiently waited for his next move, But the chains were excited by the lightning storm that came with his release, a glitch she thought, but perhaps not, she was not over thinking it, something may go dead wrong on there next few steps.

Michael stood there for a moment checking himself out. It was the first time he used his bankai since he gained it a while back. He opened and closed his hands and then flexes his muscles slightly not to show off but so that he could get used to the feel of it, He clicked his neck from side to side and then grabed hold of his large hammer with two hands. In a flash Michael appeared infront of claire, He sent his large powerfull hammer down and began to smash the area she was in, in hope of smashing through her barrier of chains.

((Dude, she recalled the chains, so they no longer surround her.))

Claire skipped out of the way and aimed her bazooka gun towards him, this time firing a bigger blue colored energy towards him, she was a bit surprised by the speed increase he had, but nothing that she couldn't handle.
