Old VS New (Dellapero)

There wasn’t much time for either of the two to react as both attack’s made contact, though the attack used by the espada was stronger than Raphael’s hell gate it still did little to detour the bloodthirsty Raphael. The explosion from the espada’s attack was enough to send Raphael into the sand below, putting a large crater into the surface of the desert. Raphael rose from the ground and stood up looking for his foe, his chest was covered in scorch marks and smoke still rose off of Raphael’s chest, he would have to be a little more cautious after that little stunt.

Raphael was indeed lucky, if he wasn’t the former Ex Cero espada and if he hadn’t had over a million years to build up his strength he would have most likely died from the blast. Raphael then smirked and eagerly awaited the next move of his opponent.

Dellapero crashed down to the ground from the blast and caused a torrent of sand to rise up into the air around him. His armor was destroyed around his chest and his body was burned as well. The sand around him then started to move over his burns and armor. Instantly the sand turned into a new layer of armor and partialy healed the burns on his chest. Dellapero jumped back up. That last attack cost alot of energy, but still not enough to highly affect his combat abilities. Dellapero had no idea whree his scythe was, so he extended his right arm and a blade materialized in it. It was a soulless black sword that was roughly nine feet long. It was a rather large blade as well and weighted heavier then most weapons, but due to Dellapero's extreme power in this state it was still almost weightless to him. Dellapero still didn't talk since he entered the form. Dellapero charged a dark-ted cero in his left hand and aimed it at the oppoent before quickly shooting off his Homing Cero. It looked just like a normal cero, but had 1.5x it's power and had a special affect mentioned in the name. ALthough he never spoke the name of the technique, so it was just like any other cero to anyone he hadn't told.

Raphael watched his opponent get up and smiled, the fight was still on. Watching closely Raphael caught on to the espada’s plan and had dashed away quickly quicking up sand and leaving a small crater in the sand. As Raphael moved he noticed the cero following him and as he flew through the air he touched a piece of the sand and spun around, as he did a wall made of diamond, titanium and ceramic appeared in front of Raphael and took the blast the explosion was enough to mask Raphael’s next moves.

From inside the cloud of smoke Raphael held both hand to his side which formed to balls of energy that held more power than a cero, Raphael brought his palms together fusing the two balls of energy and then fired a massive wave at the espada, as the wave traveled a portal opened in front of it and sucked it in, but this time a second portal never opened. Raphael was going to pull the attack back into reality when he opponent least expected it. After firing the attack Raphael reached down and grabbed a piece of the wall that had taken the cero and held it in his hand, he placed his thumb a little under the top of the piece and flicked his thumb up, this caused the piece of the wall to take the form of the sword he was using before.

Dellapero focused his energy and waited for a moment. He wanted the opponent to make the next offencive attack. Dellapero was on full guarx, not misisng one detail of any changes. He was in a completely focused state that was only looking atany changes around him even from the most small things like the wind. Dellapero's blade glowed with a black aura that was his power.

Raphael looked at his opponent, he needed him to move and come in close range in order to strike, so without hesitation Raphael lifted his hand and ran his finger through the air, the line shattered and the shards rocketed at the espada. When the espada dodged Raphael would be ready to hit the espada with a nice little surprise.
(sorry for the short post)

Dellapero watched as the shards came at him. He extended his right arm forward and focused his reiroka in his hand creating a sphere of energy. Dellapero charged the cero until the shards were a few seconds away and then unleashed a rather large cero forward at the opponent and the shards in a attempt to obliterate the shards and potentially damage the opponent if it would work. Dellapero began to contemplate his next move carefully.

OOC ( meh, i don't care. Long as it ain't a noob post or 1 liner.)

Raphael was always one to strategize well and think fast on his feet. Even as a bloodthirsty monster Raphael managed to be cunning and swift, as he saw the cero forming in the palm of his opponent, Raphael let out a small growl. As the wave got closer a portal opened in front of Raphael and absorbed the blast, Raphael now had to back up blasts to surprise his opponent with later on in the fight. Raphael used the portal to cover his body and prevent his opponent from seeing what Raphael was doing. As the portal shrank Raphael stood with a cero fully formed in his palm and once the portal was out of the way of the cero Raphael fired the blast at the espada.

Dellapero saw the cero be absorbed by the portal. He started to grasp the idea of what was going on now. Well, if his opponent wanted him to attack then thats what he was about to get. Dellapero jumped several feet to the side with the cero slightly burning his right arm, but his entire right arm was permanently scarred with burns, so it didn't matter much aside the pain. He then proceeded to dash forward at the ex cero espada with his sword in hand. He knew there was traps ahead and ws going to try and turn them against the enemy.

Raphael grinned a bit as he noticed the espada now dashing towards him, but he didn’t move….he wanted his opponent to get closer. Raphael stood still, he eventually lifted his hand and fired 2 bala’s, but chose to stay in the same spot, if his opponent over analyzed the situation they would pay, Raphael kept his plans simple but they were effective and now it was only a matter of time before Raphael would give his opponent a shock.

Dellapero was pretty sure it waw q trqp by this point. His opponent still hasn't moved and has mearly been shooting weak attacks at him. He jumped over the balas and smirked when he came closer to the opponent. Dellapero held both his hands forward to materialize four walls of very trong materials around the opponent Each was 1 foot apart from the opponent making it narrrow Secondly. he focused a large amount of energy into his hands and tore open a black hole the size of the opening at the top of the four walls leaving no escape. At such close range, the black hole had an extreme amount of force that would try and devour the opponent and everything inside the four wals. By making the walls, Dellapero prevented escape by sonido, and unless his enemy had a special garganta that could open in less then a second, this combo could potentially kill him.

( The inside of a black hole is 13 trillion pounds of preassure..or something like that and reachs temperatures that would cause frostbite over most of the body in seconds._

Raphael watched his opponents moves carefully he was not about to let his opponent best him, Raphael quickly sonido'd away just before the box could form around him, he got far behinf his opponent and watched as the black hole opened up and sucked in the black box. Raphael then grinned, just then two portals opened right above the espada’s head and just below his feet and as they opened out of the top portal came the cero wave the espada had fired earlier and from the bottom portal Raphael’s earlier attack shot up ward.

Dellapero expected this to be a trap. As soon as the two blasts came out of the portals, Dellapero vanished in a instant leaving a fluxuation in space where he vanished. In less then a mila second he reappeared directly behind his opponent. Dellapero slamed his foot down at the oppoent's back to try and kick him into his owm trap.

( Wonder if we could get this to last ten pages.)

Raphael spun around and got kicked in the chest but before he was sent flying he grabbed a hold of the espada’s foot and flung him back down toward the two portals. Raphael then landed on the ground and put one hand to the ground and waited for his opponent to come after him again.

Dellapero was flyng toward the portals at high speed. He decided to use his to his advantage and score lethal slash at his opponent. He opened a garganta infront of him and another behind his opponent. Dellapero shot through both garganta's instantly and swung his black blade at the arrancar's neck to try and cleave it off. Wether this hit or missed, the gargantas would close afterwords.

Raphael had his hand to the ground and his attention on his opponent, as the Garganta opened on one end Raphael remembered how fast they worked and rolled to the side as the second one shot open, Raphael rolled to his feet and kept one hand on the ground and lifted his other hand firing a cero at the espada.

Dellapero raised his left hand toward the cero being fired at him and focused his energy for a moment creating a red sphere in his pallm. Just efore his opponent's cero was about to hit, Dellapero shot off his own red cero to counter with. He held his sword in preperation for his next action and sensed for any changes in spiritual pressure.

As the two cero’s collided an explosion was caused and Raphael used this to his advantage, concealing his spiritual pressure he made a copy of himself from the sand and Sonído’d away, and waited to see his opponents reaction before making another move.

Dellapero sensed the spiritual pressure of his opponent vanish. He knew another trap was being set then. As the smoke cleared, he saw a replica of his opponent near-by, but it had no spiritual pressure to it. Dellapero focused his reiatsu and waited for the real enemy to show himself. Fool Dellapero once you got lucky, there won't be a twice.

Raphael watched his opponent stop, he knew the espada was trying to sense his presence. Raphael smiled and fired four bala’s at his opponent and then Sonído’d away leaving an after image and concealing his spiritual pressure once again, Raphael would use this hit and run tactic for a little bit more till the espada gave him an opening to exploit.

Dellapero watched the four bala come at him. He mearly smirked and decided to use a similer tactic to what his opponent had used. Dellapero opened a garganta infront of him, then closed it traping the blasts in the red void until he set them lose later. This would now turn into a match of strategy.

Raphael kept playing with his enemy, his pressure showed for a few seconds this time firing the shards of energy at his opponent and then disappearing once again, concealing his spiritual pressure. Raphael landed near a tree of quartz and instantly turned it into a dummy of himself only this time he flared his energy while standing behind it, when his opponent made a move Raphael would be long gone and once again concealing his pressure.

Dellapero watched the shards comme at him now. He was formulating his traps and tactics while waiting and gathering his energy lost from the black holle. He ripped open another garganta as teh shards came at him, devouring them in the void. One he sensed his opponent's spiritual energy, Dellapero turned to face the direction of it. and made his hand into a fist. He then shot a large bala at the direction of the spiritual energy as to not waste to much energy if it was a fake, but do decent damage if it was real.

Mere milliseconds after the espada fired the large bala, Raphael appeared about half a foot in front of the espada and took a heavy slash at his mid section aiming to cut him clean in half, to add to this Raphael even released a blade thin wave from the end of his sword, following the slash Raphael fired a cero from his mouth at the espada.

Dellapero wasn't able to dodge the first two strikes, but he didn't really want to. The blade cutt slightly into his armor and the energy slash cutt entirely trhough it and did a deep cutt into his body. As Dellapero felt the cutts, he used this as an oppertunity to counter. He attempted to grab the opponent's arm that was holding the sword and opened a garganta infront of the cero to absorb it. Just then, five gargantas appeared. Two on the left of his enemy, two to the right, and one atop Raphael's head. Dellaapero kept a constant sense on the man's reiatsu and wouldn't do what he was about to if the reiatsu vanished and the opponent stoped moving. If all worked aas planed, the top garganta would fire a point-blank cero and the other four would shoot the four balas absorbed earlier.

At the end of the swing Raphael felt a tug on his arm, he looked at the espada and then at the surrounding gargantas, there wasn’t much to do and what Raphael did next was a very large risk. Instead of trying to get free of his opponent he attempted to grab a hold of the espada’s free arm and attempted to pull him in close so that the two were pressed against each other, this way the espada wouldn’t attack its self and let Raphael fire a point blank hell’s gate at the espada’s face. If this didn’t work Raphael would have to think of something else to do.
