Name: Kuroden Fuijuken Bushinji
Actual Age: 5,731
Appeared Age: 18
Gender: Male
Looks: Kuroden has long silver hair that if not held in a ponytail falls below his broad shoulders. His body is incredibly well built being tall lean and muscular. The first thing that is noticed about Kuroden is his eyes. they constantly change colors, but are usually a swirling silver purple color. The scar across his face came from the day he left Soul society for Earth. His captain found out that he was going to take his position and struck him down in anger leaving Kuro for dead. From there his inner hollow tried to take over. Kuroden's clothing choice is a spin off from the original shinigami style. He wears the traditional top open and has on a new black set of samurai bottoms with traditional tabi on his feet. The visible upper body of Kuro has several scars all from his battle with his captain. Kuro hides most of them by wearing bandages around his abdomin at all times. Even through the bandages his six pack abs can be seen. Kuro always wears his zanpakuto and an additional katana above it incise he needs to switch his fighting styles.
Personality: Kuro is quite and reserved mostly conversing only with his zanpakuto. He has a kind heart and a strong sense of justice. He has few hates and cares about all people offering the benefit of the doubt to almost everyone. His only true downfall is the fact that he never really draws his zanpakuto. It is not that he is self centered to the point where he thinks he is too strong to do it, but that he wants to avoid killing anyone accidentally. His fear of striking without intent is foolish because of his excellent accuracy, but it is in his nature to over think and be extra cautious. Another quirk of his is people that choose to be ignorant and abrasive. The one thing he can not stand is a liar. The only person that has ever lied to him was Eacret. Kuro can forgive a woman for nearly anything , but if the lie threatens someone he loves it is unforgivable.

Zanpakuto Information
Zanpakuto Name: Ashido
Zanpakuto Looks: Ashido is two twin zanpakuto's who have the appearance of two regular katana, but have two level of shikai.
Released Zanpakuto Description: Ashido's first shikai state is achieved with the release phrase burn. Both Katana weather sheathed or not have their blade's engulfed in flames that can burn through anything except Kuroden and anything he choses. The normal temperature of the blade's flames are 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Kuroden canuse his first form for concentrated power and more accuracy to teh direction he can cause flames to erupt and to the accuracy of his fire blasts. He has the bllades sheathed in positions to where he can use first for without unsheathing a blade. The flames will take over his left arm and right leg allowing him to throw fire and move and conjur flames with them. Although he usually uses one for shikai and stays in first form Kuroden has a second for to his shikai.
In second form Kuroden uses the release phrase break. Both Katana's blades and hilts break into thousands of pieces and form intricate designs on both of Kuroden's arms. They are immediately set aflame and although these flames can be put out if he so wishes the flames can surround his whole person and absorb the power of other flames. Since they are made of his reitsu the flames can not be put out and can get to a temperature of 10,000 degrees farenheit. For the immense power boos the gets in this form his accuracy nearly is cut in half so he usually uses it for close quarters contact using it with Shunko.
Bankai: to activate Ashido the flames from his body or blade escapes and surrounds what he wills with teh release command Mesmerize.
Mirage : Ashido's best and damn near only bankai technique which takes all of the flames from Kuroden's body and surrounds any and everything that he wills and persons inside the incredibly heated dome are under his control seeing what he wills and hearing what he wants them too. The effect is indeed a mirage that allows him to control all of their senses and stops any possible escape that he doesn't will. the flames that surround them have temperatures that he control. It is also possible for him to attack inside and outside the barrier or dome by controlling the flames as if they were pillars or even whips. They could also be used as in fireballs.
Duplicate: Kuroden brings in each flame from the surrounding adn makes five exact duplicates of himself that have the same powerlevel and strenght as himself, but cannot use any kido or hado past 85 unless incantation is used (unless the kido has no incantation). Each duplicate lasts for 5 posts and need a 2 post cooldown and not all 5 are necessary at once. the flames around them can be manipulated at the will of each one and any fire based attacks shot forth are easily absorbed or repelled. This can also act as a form of shunko repelling and even negating or temporarily reversing kido.
Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Burn Ashido, Break Ashido
Released Zanpakuto Looks: Either Flaming swords or a man on fire lol.
History and RP sample
History: Story
Human Life ---
Kuroden Fuijuken Bushinji was born April 16, 1815 to the noble Bushinji house of Fuji. His parents, both shoguns of that era, raised him as a true man. At age three Kuroden was first introduced to the way of the blade. His training started at teh second he touched a sword. His father Kaiden-Taicho, the head of the Fuji army began training him. Kuroden held his first sword in his right hand and raised it into the air. Kaiden then struck the blade out of his hand and made him continue blocking. For a full thirty two hours Kuroden at age three stood there taking blow after blow from his father's blade.
As his father sheathed his blade Kuroden fell to his knees. He could have caught himself on his hands but the bottoms of them were so chafe that there was no skin left to them. Kuroden's hands were both broken to the point where he could not let go of it. His face went blank as he passed out there.
After three days Kuroden was finally awakening to the sounds of both of his parent's voices and his mother's hand caressing his cheek. "Kaiden you pompous ass. He is still just a baby and you do this to him?!" Kuro could hear his father sigh and teh deep compassion in his mother's voice. " Sakura he is stronger now than i was ten years ago. I could not complete this training until my mid twenties. Now let me continue training my son. He is the strongest of the Bushinji line since Tsunkai and Tenkai." Now it was his father showing great emotion.
Kuro believed anything his father said and knew that it was true. Tsunkai was the son of Tenkai and they both had died gloriously in battle as shoguns. He was honoured to be mentioned with them. Kuroden sat up slowly relying on his elbows. he was unsure on the condition of his hands and did not want to over do it. His elbow slipped from under him and he landed on his hand. There was no pain and Kuroden quickly unwrapped the bandages and saw that his hands were perfectly healed. he was years ahead of his schooling which was done by his mother so by age eight he was as smart as any grown man in Japan including his father.
For the next twelve years Kuroden trained with his father tirelessly. By age fifteen he had earned the position as general of his army. At the age of twenty it was announced that Kuroden would become the new shogun of all of conquered Japan. The only problem was that they had one last battle to attend. The army that they were to face were said to use Oni or demons of the realm. Kuroden gathered his father's army and took off for the fight.
As they arrived Kuro was astonished by what he saw. There were armed beast were standing there howling to the moon above them. Kuroden stood next to his father and they drove into battle. It seemed that he was the only one who could see the beasts. They were driving the enemy back but the last living beast that had devoured the rest drove forward. It Grabbed Kuroden's father by the throat. Kuro jumped into the air and stabbed the beast as it squished his father's head Kuroden snapped. He cut the beast in half as he was impaled deeply. Kuroden coughed up blood and the essence of the beast floated into his body as he faded away into nothingness.
Rukongai Life ---
Kuroden awoke from a long sleep inside of a house full of people. He grabbed this Katana he knew somehow belonged to him and walked outside. There stood three men harassing a young girl. Kuroden immediately caught one's fist before he could strike the young woman. Kuroden grabbed his other arm and threw him into the air by it.
As he did that men kept coming out of the woodworks. As Kuroden's count continued he stopped at one hundred and took a deep breath as they all armed themselves. He unsheathed his katana and put the girl on his left arm.
Kuroden ran for the first group of men in the large circle. The one closest to the front took a single swing at Kuroden. He threw his blade up to block and threw the blade off and sheathed his own. He jumped up keeping his momentum and landed on a roof. He sat the girl down and once again jumped into the fray of men.
As the dust settled Kuroden was the last man standing after three days straight of fighting with wave after wave of men joining. As he stood a single man cam from the tavern house he woke up in. " Thank you....Demon of the West." Kuroden sighed and walked away. He truly hated being given titles and such.
For teh next few years he was living life wandering through Rukongai. Every willing man challenged him and every willing man was defeated until one man came. He stood taller than Kuroden who was over six feet tall. The man immediately challenged the so called Demon of the West. Kuroden accepted the challenge and fought his usual style even though he was warned against it. He was utterly defeated and when he awoke Katana in hand he was at the shinigami Academy door. He decided that it was time to better himself yet again.
Shinigami Life --- At the first chance he got he joined the Shinigami academy. Within ten years Kuroden was graduated making him one of the youngest and strongest shinigami around. He quickly gained rank in the first division and made lieutenant. He was given the position after only thirty five years as a shinigami because of his brute force and and proficiency with kido. Kuro had declined several propositions of him joining the kido corps because of his loyalty to his captain commander who became his mentor and father figure.
For the next hundred and twenty five years Kuroden made a name for himself in Seireitei. He was even offered a position as a captain commander, but still chose to remain by his captain's side in squad 1 not want the man to reitre. He convinced him to stay and continued on with his live. a Vice Captian at Captain Commander strength. Out of everyone that he came across and met he only made three friends. The first had been with him since his arrival in Soul Society. His zanpakuto, Akumu, was always there for him and stood by his side at all times. He even materialized on occasion to guide Kuro in times of hardship. The second person was of course his captain. the man guided Kuroden from the time he joined the division until the time of his defection. The third person was a fellow shinigami named Eacret.
Eacret and his captain were the only two people Kuroden trusted to go on missions with him. After the discovery of his inner hollow Kuro immediately told his captain not wanting any part of it. That was a fatal mistake that he would pay for. Kuroden fought his captain trying to just defend the entire battle. He was stricken several times in the torso, but continued to stay strong and block trying to talk to the man. His captain would not listen to him and released his sword. this would be the worst thing he could to Kuroden because he knew once his captain released his sword he felt a true hatred for something. Kuroden stood there shocked at the revelation of the man's hatred and took the final attack not wanting to be alive anymore. He believed that if his captain commander thought he deserved death then he did making him hate every thing having to do with the inner hollow and vaizards in general. His captain struck him twice across the face with his flaming zanpakuto and left him on the ground to bleed to death and die. In his weakened state Kuroden's inner hollow tried to take control. Inside his inner world Kuroden's zanpakuto fought and tried to get the man to fight for his life to no avail.
(Break into Shikai, Hollowfication, and Inner hollow Story)
Kuroden sat there upon his hands and knees before his inner hollow. "Ohh it is time for you and i to dance once again little boy. You killed me all those years ago so it is time for some payback." Kuroden had no will to live. Zai's, his inner hollow, hand was raised and sent to his face with amazing force. Before the punch could connect Kuro's zanpakuto was materialized and he caught the hand.
Ashido looked at Kuroden and shook his head. "You let him control our body? To attack your comrades?" Ashido scoffed and punched Zai in his stomach sending him flying backwards. the dark blue armor glistened in the light. he raised his blade and dashed for Zai. Zai smiled and took a stab to the chest and smiled at Ashido.
"Dumbass i can take a hit fairly well you know." A silver red reitsu surrounded Zai and the wound healed around the sword. He smiled as his black hair came undone. It fluttered wildly in the wind and all of the reitsu formed into Zai's hand. "Goodbye, Akumu."
Zai raised his hand to Ashido's face. Ashido tried to push him away, but failed as a beautiful silver Cero tore through Akumu's head sending his helmet off into the air. Ashido's armored body went limp. Zai smiled and began charging another. All this time Kuroden could not hear the name being said. He saw something in the back of his mind. It was hazy.
It was Eacret fighting with Kuroden's body. He was almost a full on hollow with a zanpakuto. Kuroden was firing Cero's left and right. The silver lights leaving several light blue streaks in the sky. Eacret was loosing the battle, yet still fighting valiantly. Kuroden gripped his zanpakuto and saw the limp body of armor on the ground before him.
All of the things this beast, this oni, this hollow was causing forced him to snap. Kuroden picked up his zanpakuto and dashed forward. He tried to slice Zai in half, but missed. Zai laughed aloud and spoke. "You are truly a piece of shit if you believe that you can kill me with hits like that you twit." Zai kicked Akumu's body at Kuroden. Kuro caught it in his arms and held it there. He whispered, Akumu.
The body shifted into two flaming katana. At the end of the blade past the guard there was runes starting to crawl up his arms. It looked and rotated around and around. Kuroden stood and looked at Zai. "I promise Akumu will be avenged."
Zai did nothing but smiled as one appeared in his hands as well. Kuroden took one breath and made the worst for of Zai appear before him. He was being slaughtered by Kuroden. Kuroden grabbed his hilt with both hands. He focused all of his reitsu into his zanpakuto. Akumu came up behind him with his head reattached.
He grabbed onto the blade as well as Kuroden. They drew back on it and Akumu whispered to Kuroden. Kuroden repeated everything that he was told and slashed down with all of his force. An incredulous wave of reitsu was fired at Zai and slashed him into his chest. Kuroden felt himself leaving the realm and heard one thing as he faded into reality. "Come back anytime Kuro and remember. She is a keeper, but dont piss her off." Kuroden laughed slowly as he felt all of the ass whoop he had accumulated on his body pile up.
(return to Shinigami Life)
The outer shell of the hollow's form on his body fell to the ground and all that was left was a mask that crumpled a few seconds afterwards. He now had acess to the essential hollow and arrancar powers. All needed for a vaizard adn all possible to attain although they were frail and weak. Eacret picked up Kuro's limp body and took them both to the real world marking their leave from Soul Society and starting their new life. Since then they have been inseparable.
RP Sample: (an example of how you rp)
Kuroden walked slowly through the desert wastes of Hueco Mundo alone and tired of the life that he was living. A life of weakness. A life of sitting in the sidelines watching nothing but death around him with no way to help or join in the fighting with either of his brothers. Always being looked down upon by anyone and anything even when he was more powerful. The only person that took him under was Shuei Setsuna, the king of the hollows and of course his other brother whom he was unsure even knew of their family relationship, La Quinta Zento.
Kuroden sighed as he was now back at this place where he began not long ago. As the Noventa Espada he had gained new strength, new power new expiriences. He looked up at the night sky and the moon looming over head as if mocking him like the goals he was unable to reach. He sighed once more and replayed everything that happened last time as if to start a stepping stone effect for his abilities.
His mind began to drift in and out of memories of each of his three brothers. How the looked acted and their skills. Even how they fought in battle. Kuroden need to learn something for himself, to develop his own strength. He needed to learn, to feed, to gain the strength to take what he needed in this world of give and take. Kuroden sighed and thought of the things his brothers had done to give him some type of inspiration. To give him some thought as to how to better himself in every aspect and to live his life in a way that he did not have to constantly hide in fear of death. He thought about all of their ultimate attacks and how they could work for him.
With this, all his tentacles spray the fluid all at once and cover a wide area. Then the area then spawns copies of himself. There is a max of three working copies made to look and feel like him. They are made by the fluid and thus can be exploded. They are controlled by his mind and thus are exploded and moved on his command. They have the same powers and things as him, he can essentially see out of their eyes in his mind, all eyes seeing at once. This allows him to see and respond accurately. Their strength is half as his and their size is as tall as a regular humanoid figure. Six feet and twice that in length.
Zento has the power of regeneration. His body is made out of pure darkness and shadows. the shadows are weakened by light and light attacks but work a lot better when in the darkness. if one of his limbs are cut off they will regrow (takes about 5 posts) by the shadows around him. He can also because of him being shadows move his body parts as far as he wants. he can also see in the dark. When using this attack he has it to were shadows leave from all points of his body and all the shadows around him and make it to were the hole place is darkenss. There is no light. the opponent can still hear him and feel his reaitsu. He can not control the shadows like the other ones as a down fall.
Kuroden realized that he was the exact opposite of both of his brothers. He was not one to have multiple limbs and never liked darkness. He was becoming rather frustrated in of himself. Even his inener monologue was getting pissed at him and his fauilure to comply with even himself when he was trying to help with his own problems. He raked his had through his long elegant silver hair and sat down to think yet again. He did not know what to do when it came to these situations. The only thing he could revert to were paste experiences. He sighed and realized that that was it. His past would bring about a change for his future. Kuroden thought back as far as he could. To the very day, the very moment he became a hollow.
The spirit or newly formed Demi Hollow took off as fast as he could. Instinctively he ripped the air open and fell into the black portal landing into a forest full of trees a hundred times taller than him. Before he could stand several hollows surrounded him and tried to attack.
The Demi Hollow fired off his first cero into the closest one and as he was dissipated and teh particles floated into his mouth the Demi Hollow felt his hunger momentarily quenched. His back broke into two large wings. As he stood it could be seen that his mask now had an actual form. It was all white with several sharp teeth and large canines. Several red tribal streaks lined his mask now.
The rest of the hollows now dog piled atop the new hollow. All that could be heard was what seemed to be energy collecting. The new hollow fired off a cero and destroyed all atop him. Their energies floated into his mouth and it started to water.
He spread his wings and took to the sky in search of more food. There were several hollows he passed below him and scooped up just to eat. This continued for hours..days until again he transformed. this time it was hard on him.
The Menos was now ready to go out into the world. It was yet mindless and would blend with the rest of them. Inside of the large body thousands of hollows were fighting mentally for dominance. He was going to win this. For days months and possibly years even centuries he fought and fought until he was atop the pile of idiotic hollows.
In this new body he would be able to do so much. He rallied weaker menos with minds than himself. He trained them helping them gain immense power close to his own. When each one approached his power he would devour them and as he neared his next evolution he hit a road block.
There was one that out smarted him. He did something that the Menos had not thought of yet. He actually tried to help other hollows inside himself get stronger as he did. It made the entire boy as a whole better and he was able to remain supreme. The only thing stopping them both was each other.
The two masterminds of the underground forests were to face off. Every one was gone from the immediate area. Even the brainless ones knew that they would die in the cross fire. Zai as he had come to be named was the first to fire a cero. The other menos fired one of it's own and they clashed.
Neither side was letting up an inch. They both forced all of their reitsu into the ceros. Zai was tactical with his and saved some of his reitsu until the very end and in one forceful push sent his wave and the force from the other menos' cero crashing into his skull forcing him to change into spirit particles and float into Zai's mouth.
As his body absorbed the energy Zai began to transform. Once he3 felt the power that the other menos held he knew that he would skip a full transformation and become a full adjuchas. The process was long and painful, but at the end he was there.
He had an all white armor clad body with black feathered wings protruding the back. His claws on his hands were very sharp and about two inches long each. He now had dark black hair that hung below his shoulders and stood above six foot tall. He stretched his new body out and flew up and through the sand to the desert of Hueco Mundo.
the all white moon in the sky reminded him of the human world and what he wanted most. It was simply a snack and since humans had nice souls then it would be easy for him to get full. Zai used his muscular arm to rip open a garganta and headed to the human world.
On the day that he was looking for his greatest meal Zai got a horrid surprise. He was attacked by a human who could see him and they both died in the battle. His face was scarred and as a piece of him went into the dying human the same happened and to save himself he removed his mask.
Kuroden could not remember anything except for his name and wandered the desert wastes of Hueco mundo for days before he found Las Noches. There he re honed his skills and became what he is today, a master of life and death. Kuroden learned early that weakness was not tolerated as he was challenged and almost lost his life, but in the process gained immense strength. For the last 150 years he has wanted the spot and plans to continue to strive for it and advance.
(150 year span)
Over the 150 years before the current date Kuroden was forced through five3 stages of training. He was only given 30 years a piece to complete each one under the guidence of the king of hollows or die. Each stage was one vital yo becoming an Espada and a better arrancar in general.
(Step 1 Sonido )
Kuroden was told upfront that any arrancar could use sonido, but only the great ones could prefect it. He took out a year of non stop study of the technique. The mechanics sounded simple. Focus reitsu into the feet and use it to glide to another area. The more reitsu the more movement and speed. Sonido though was also usable for standing in mid air.
After the first year of learning he was ready to try. Kuroden jumped into teh air and focused reitsu into his feet. Immediately he caught on air and stood there perfectly. Kuroden again focused more reitsu into his feet and tried to move forward mid air.
He moved a good five feet and fell. The momentum and of course gravity sent him crashing through a wall. Kuroden simply stood and tried again. Once more he failed. Kuroden took a very deep breath and focused reitsu again. this time into the heel of his left foot and the toe of his right.
He kicked off with his right foot and caught with his left foot and immediately spread the reitsu out across the entire foot. Kuroden had done it and was very stable. His next test would be to try and sonido directly left and right. This time he was focusing on direction and on getting to a point where he did not have to focus so much. To where it was second nature.
At the twenty year mark Kuroden had perfected it all. At this point in time he did not have to worry about moving around as he could stay in the exact same standing position and sonido to another area leaving a pretty nice burst of air in his wake. Kuroden was glad that he had done it with ten years to spare and moved on to the next part.
(Step 2 Bala)
Yet again Kuroden found himself in the library studying a technique. This time it was the bala. It was five times weaker than a cero, but twenty times faster. Unlike the cero which was a charged beam of reitsu the bala was a forced ball shot out at great speeds.Kuro sighed after eight months of reading and left the library.
As he entered the training field he tried a bala for the first time. A small explosion went off in his forearm. Kuroden had not put enough force and had not focused enough for the bala to fully come out and it back fired. eh rubbed his forearm and sighed.
Kuroden focused enough reitsu for a cero into his hand and forced it out as hard as he could. Before he knew he had fired anything he blew down an entire building. Kuroden focused more into his hand but not as much as last time and fired ti off. This time he was barely able to follow. Kuroden once again focused reitsu. This time it was more power than a cero, but he released it in several intervals causing twelve powerful and very fast balas to fire off into the reitsu absorbing dummies of the training area.
After a hard twenty five years Kuroden had it mastered to the point where it was as fast as a bala and as strong as an menos' cero. He sighed that he was fifteen years ahead of himself. He looked to the lite sky of Las Noches.
(Step three Gonzui)-Can not obtain until bought
Kuroden took a different approach to this technique studying another arrancar for this. It was the fifth Zento who showed him this. Gonzui was basically a web of reitsu used to momentarily paralyze the enemy. Kuroden was intrigued by this move and focused alot of time on perfecting it.
At the end of his twenty five years Kuroden could send his web out 15 meters and paralyze anyone Espada 3 strength or lower. At least that is what La Quinta told him. Kuroden knew those were not his limits and spent another five years extending his reach another five meters.
(Step 4 Cero)
Kuroden was cocky when it came to his cero training. He already knew how to fire one and thought that instinct was enough. He was proven wrong and forced to study. His studies showed him that cero was meant to be focused and not just fired off instinct. When it came down to it it was a perfect sphere of reitsu that was shot forward. Kuroden kept this in mind and walked out after sixteen months of study.
His first attempt was a failure. he tried to drop all instinct and use no knowledge at all. It was sad at how many times he failed util he was at the brink of insanity. He finally focused his reitsu as the book told him and let instict do the rest. The same building that he destroyed with his bala was finally rebuilt and re incinerated by the new more powerful cero.
Kuroden thought long and hard about how to improve both his cero and bala. After hours and days of deliberation he finally realized that a combination was in order.
Kuroden made his way back to the training area. He focused his reitsu into his hands and feet and sonidoed as fast as he could and fired a Cero and a bala simultaneously. Luckily nothing was hit, but the destructive force of the two attacks turned the sand on the ground in their wakes to glass and then demolished it. Kuroden now Had 40 years left for the final step of his training.
(Step 5 Ressurrection)
Kuroden for the first time in his years of seclusion with only two people knew what he had to do for his final test. It was his ressurrection and he knew how to master it. He had to hone his physical body to hold the strength of his full power which was too strong to last for more than five minutes in his body.
Kuroden took ten full years of training himself in mind body and spirit to prepare for the training to master his ressurrection. He came into teh training a young feeble arrancar with raw talent and came back a finely tuned instrument of death. He was even more muscular and tone than before and he as a hollow was stronger than anyone could have perceived him to be when he first came to Las Noches.
Kuroden began his ressurrection training and as the years quickly passed he got better and better at maintaining it and honing his skills. No one had seen his ressurrection except for Shuei whom he had to show it, and who seemed like a mentor to him, to to complete his training. the only other man to see it was Zento who seemed like a brother to him. At the end of the day Kuroden stood higher than he himself had envisioned and was ready to take his place among the elite. The Espada.
Kuroden took a deep breath as it all flowed back into his mind. That was it. The one thing he always excelled at. The one thing that had saved his life hundreds of times over. It was easy to see to him now. What he had to do was create a new cero for himself. A new way of life. A new path the opposite of his brotherâs darkness that got him killed.
Kuroden focused his most powerful cero into his palm. This technique had to be powerful and able to strike at several angles. He bent all five fingerâs into the cero distributing it all into his four fingers and adding enough power to each finger to rival one of his own regular cero. His hand swirled with the silver and light blue reitsu that he was known for.
All of the reitsu he focused together began shimmering on his fingers. Several adjuchas hollowâs appeared before him. Four to be exact. Kuroden thought of his failures and was immediately angered. He pointed the four fingers at the adjuchas and released all of the power stored. Kuroden himself knew that there were four ceros but the shimmering lights made the appearance of forty before him. Kuroden was astonished by what he had seen. His hand was smoking from the power of his four ceros.
On the other side of the technique the four adjuchas were terrified by the onslaught of power before them. There was an armada of shimmering silver and blue cero approaching them to end their existences. To completely obliterate them and scour any remains in the wind with the sand. They were crushed under the power of the four real cero which were each the power of a cero oscuras. Kuroden smiled and walked away laughing maniacally at this newfound power. He knew that with this tech he be frowned upon no longer.
Kuroden gasped for air after recalling so many memories, emotions at one time. He feel to one knee and stayed there for nearly an hour afraid to move before the massive headache had passed. It felt as if he took a Gran Rey Cero to the dome. He thought about his inner monologue and realized that that was it. A Gran Ray version of his original cero.
Kuroden closed both of his eyes and began drawing in reitsu from every area around him. he breathed in deeply as he began to draw from everything around him. Living or not he was drawing reitsu from it. As he opened his eyes he followed the process and dipped his hands into the ball of shimmering silver. He opened his eyes and fired every bit of reitsu eh and collected.
Out of the fifty five were real and those five blew to the very bottom of the menos forest and continued plunging lover and lower drawing hollows to the crash site. So many were collected there at one time. It was rather funny to him. He had an idea to test the fire power but turned to leave content with the status that he was in. Kuroden looked up at that moon staring him down
making him feel like that scared little boy yet again. Kuroden could not take it at all. He turned around and did what he wanted to do in the first place.
He drew his warhammer from his back and nearly browled out, "Take all of what's left of them, Ikou tou" A large plume of sand flew out kilometers in every direction. He took several deep breaths and grew to large black feathered wings from his back. All of his skin turned to a dark grey color and the hair on his head went more white than silver in color.
His usually silver eyes were now purple and light blue with the colors mixing seemingly melding around the iris. Two large horns protruded from Kuroden's temples and armor as black as teh Hueco Mundo sky covered his entire lower body and fore arms and hands. The power of his hierro was tripled and the strength of the hierro on his arms and legs was now quadrupled. The same went for his shoulders which now had two spikes on them.
His back was the most protected of his body with the hierro being five times stronger than before he resurrected. Several spikes along his back make up excellent armor along with two abnormally large ones over his shoulder blades that stick upward. His wings were made of no flesh and pure skin and bones with hardens feathers so it had two layers of hierro that were four times stronger than usual. His canines grew to three inches a piece on top and two on the bottom.
In his hand was his newly formed blade. It was shaped like a sycle and was as long as a staff. It was made from hardened skin and focused reitsu that at the tip can be disolved. The blade has the properties of a hierro and can be used to slice a normal arrancar in two with ample ease.
He threw his blade into the air and absorbed it drawing the reitsu of all of the hollows in the hole into him completely increasing his power to such astonishing levels that the blue runes that appear when he has absorbed a large amount of reitsu were now white. He let all of the runes move into his right hand together. There were now a different rune on each of his right finger tips.
They spelled out his aspect of death and as he fired off the energy he literally blew away half of the desert into the forest of menos. It was now as if the sand were filling the forest like water to a bowl. Kuroden smiled and took flight ready to take the world. No one not even the moon would look down on him.
His search had been achieved. He found a cero that reflected his soul...his being. He had shown his outer powerful appearance through the cero while at the same time it showed that his ultimate power lied inside. It shimmers as brightly with the power within his soul and the truth and dedication along with teh pureness of all that he is. Everything that he was was in this. How at times he shifted and exploded, but in the end always went down the straight path. It was him in a nutshell.
