Akio walked thorugh the dark pathway of the forgotten portion of Karakuta Town. His clothes were torn and his body scarred from his strenuous training. He stopped as he sensed something dark nearby. I was hollow reishi, and a large amount. He looked up as a Menos Grande began to emerge, hand first through a large black hole in reality. Akio lifted his sword and said, "I guess I should test myself before I go back..."
The hollow gave a monsterous roar as he raised his hand and slowly dropped it to crush the boy. Akio, in response, simply raised his sword and the tip of the blade stopped the giant's movement cold. His pressure building, Akio immideatly called out, "Bankai!" I a cloud of black smoke his sword slowly began to extent. Behind him stood a gigantic serpant forged of black ice, its consciousness evident by its slow movements. "Kage Hyouten... Kuro Kyougin!" Akio jumped up and moved his hand in a slash. His sword was no longer in hand, replaced by a black glove with a black, diamond-like blade at the tip. The tip slahed the beast in one strike, causing it to fall.
Upo Akio's descent, he sensed more hollows approaching. No doubt it was from the increased spiritual pressure. He moved his body, spinning it in the air as the large serpent roared out. His large mouth sent forth a blizzard of black ice and frostthat froze the emerging hollows immediately. The serpent dove down at them and took them into its mouth, devouring them all but instantly. Akio gave a small smile and said, "Guess you were hungry huh Kage Hyouten?" The serpent gave a small nod and said, "As we've been told, increasing out Spiritual Energy is key to our full powers."
Akio nodded and said, "Yep, looked like it's time to head back...."
