Mission 3 : [Video]
[The PCD is not picking up Sephiroth very well because he's holding it in one hand and moving a lot, but there are flashes of leather, silver hair, and steel. Mostly, what the PCD is picking up is the absolute devastation around him. Sephiroth is out in one of the more urban areas of the Wastelands, and he is destroying it. The mangled corpse of a

[It's been a while since she's done any strenuous exercise like this herself.]

[As long as he treats this one like an actual spar and not a way to vent his feelings, he should be able to handle it.]

I shall be there.
[And she'll ... materialize out of thin air less than a few seconds later. At elast that's what it looks like, although Sephiroth might be bale to tell that she just moved extra fast and did not actually teleport.]

Unohana-san. [He can tell, mostly because his own speed and senses are tanked through the roof by his world's standards. He can just barely catch the edge of the movement. Sephiroth lifts his sword briefly in greeting and tries to look less affected by her presence than he is.]

It is a nodachi, just like Masamune, although a bit shorter, of course, and more curved. Still, not a sword than an apparently frail woman like her should be able to wield around with one hand the way she is.
She does not usually use Minazuki to fight. Her zanpakutou is a tool for healing. But in a way, that is exactly what she is doing right now. So, for the first time in a long while, she unsheathes the sword, letting the sun glint on the blade, and puts the scabbard down, assuming a stance.]

The hesitation is brief, only visible to someone who knows how Sephiroth fights or is looking for it. But it is there, just before he launches himself forward and strikes at her leg. And for once, the strike isn't quite as clean and precise as it's supposed to be.]

And she can't help noticing that in spite of his obvious unsettlement, he is a very, very skilled swordsman. He went straight for what would have been an immobilizing slash. If it had been anyone else, and they hadn't dodged, their tendons would have been slashed and they would have been helpless.
She holds out a hand has she 'reappears'/slows down.]
Bakudou no yon ! Hainawa !
[A rope of yellow energy shoots out, lookng to entangle his arms. It's only low-level kidou and she's testing the waters. She has no doubt she'll have to resort to something packing more of a punch.]
Reply
The moment he sees the rope, he lashes out with Masamune. Not to attack the rope with the steel, which could result in a tangled nodachi, but to use one of the arcs of energy to cut it.]
Quake. [This is mostly a test to see how shaking ground affects her ability to flash step.]
(Materia setup for this fight: Curaga, Firaga, Silence, Wall, Quake )

Firaga. [Three fireballs coming at your head and he is going to hate himself if he actually burns you, but...]

Hadou no gojuuhachi ! Tenran !
[A small tornado erupts from the sword, swallowing the fireballs and sending them away.
It is her first time fighting against someone with Materia, and she is just getting to understand how much power they can pack. Probably depending on the skill of the user as well, and Sephiroth looks like he is a very, very skilled user.]

Whatever type of magic this is, it's clearly something with the potential to cause him trouble. The light shifts to a third materia as Sephiroth lands lightly on his feet, Masamune held in a defensive position.]
Silence. [So....how's Unohana's resistance to status effects?]

However, she is a Gotei 13 Captain. And she hasn't even started to get serious yet. A soft white light starts to glow around her as she focuses her reiatsu. The spiritual pressure slowly increases until it becomes almost physical, pressing down on everything around. She has to watch herself not to let too much seep through, because she would not want to hurt the wildlife by doing so ... or anyone else not involved, really.
She just hopes that the effect ends after some time, because she is not sure of how to dispel it, and she'll have to rely on her sword in the meantime.]
