[ENTROPI] The Attack (ALL Chars)

[warden_kun]

It had arrived in the same manner as its birth, the massive discharge of energy still smoldering the crater formed where the strike connected with the ground. Twisting and pulsing, its contained form was immediately aware of the pitiful organic creatures surrounding it, trapped like insects in a too-small hive.

It released a high-pitched roar and

Ichigo wasted no time when that reiatsu hit him. It was like a ton of bricks all decided to bear down on him while his strength took a hit. He didn't need to check the PDA to know just what exactly that reiatsu was. The signs had been obvious: malfunctions, earthquakes, ashes, something was bound to happen.

He didn't even bother to get to the battlefield before deciding to summon his bankai, his appearance taking the expected change. If this reiatsu was any indication, the best thing to do was go at it at full power and at full strength. Lives were at stake.

The same principles applied for the summon of his hollow mask.

After one last flash step, he was it-- a pulsating orb of what looked like some kind of energy. His first thought was electricity, but even that seemed too mundane. Either way, it didn't matter. This thing had killed people. He could see the bodies. He could practically sense the lingering reiatsu disappearing. This only caused Ichigo to tighten his grip on the white Zangetsu, the chain at the end of the hilt rattling, almost as if to affirm Ichigo's resolve.

It only took one flash step before the white-clad masked shinigami was beside the orb, swinging down the white katana-sized zanpakutou with all his strength, leaving a trail of reddish black reiatsu in its wake.

The sword swiped through the orb, encountering no resistance save a brief whisper in the air, as though it were thicker there than around it. The reiatsu disappeared, like it was swallowed by the orb, pulsating and glowing brighter, and then a crackle of energy snaked its way across the ground and struck Ichigo.

Uryuu stood at a safe distance observing Ichigo's actions and shaking his head slowly. Always the one to attack first and ask questions later, he was no different from the Ichigo he had known before Econtra. After the substitute shinigami's attack left the the orb undamaged (and resulted in it retaliating against him) Uryuu had had enough of watching.

Summoning his bow, and enjoying the feeling of the weight of it in his hands Uryuu. Without hesitation he drew back an arrow and fired at the orb, a test shot at best to see how his spirit arrows faired against it. It also served as a way to announce his arrival to Ichigo. No use in wasting a perfectly cool introduction.

Ichigo -> Uryuu

Ichigo panted heavily as he attempted to dodge the crackle of energy that struck at him. He managed to move fast enough to avoid it striking his body directly, but it still struck at his shoulder, causing him to hiss in pain, although it didn't show. The slightest hint that it even affected him was the gritting of his teeth as he repressed the hiss.

That, and the blood that was pouring from his shoulder now.

Still, he paid it no mind, thinking it to be no different from Urahara's survival exercises. The expression 'no pain, no gain' was common in his exercises, as well as the sight of blood. Still, he was determined to find a way to stop this orb, even if his attacks proved to be completely useless. He couldn't afford to give up just because of that fact.

He was shaken out of his reverie however when he saw the light blue glowing arrow strike the orb, blinking at how unexpected it was. However, when he saw the crackle of energy launch up and aim for Uryuu, any sarcastic remark that Ichigo had at the tip of his tongue died off for a more impulsive warning.

"MOVE!"

The arrows were nothing to the Entropi, flailing through the shadowed-cloudy surface as if it were made of lifeless fog. Not only did it seemed unharmed from the volley, but it almost seemed to crackle with glee as it aimed forcible bolts of energy at the new target as well as bearing down on Ichigo in his weakened state. Tendrils of white-hot energy crackled through the air without mercy at the two men.

Ichigo -> Uryuu

[sewing_archer]

The Quincy cursed at his arrow's failure to cause any damage, then barely had time to register Ichigo's warning before he used Hirenkyaku to try and dodge the oncoming attack. It was no good, the lightning like energy struck his left shoulder, even sending tendrils of the blast down his side to his waist.

He landed on his back and rolled to the side wincing as he drew himself up to his a kneeling position breathing hard. His hand went to his side quickly, only to be drawn back and reveal blood. Uryuu wasn't sure how bad it was but whole left side felt like it was on fire. Still, he was alive and could still move.

Still catching his breath the raven haired boy looked up at the shinigami not far away. "I suppose you don't have a plan on how to kill this thing do you?" he growled.

The cloudy entity's lashes came at less frequent intervals as it seemed to be focusing more on those that were attacking it directly, rather than those escaping around the fringes.

Suddenly the smoky orb went silent, crackling flails ceasing completely...

...then with a flaring roar of power, a wave of electricity burst from within the Entropi's shadowy frame, striking out at those closest to it. It was potent, jarring, but not as infinitely destructive as the whips had been. It seemed the Entropi was exchanging individual strikes for more massive damage at a closer range.
